Which programming language should I choose?
Got a small question here (I know this is a software/hardware subforum but it felt like the best place to ask this, and I do have a follow-up request for freeware).
I started studying programming a couple months ago to kill some free time and so far I've only touched Pascal (buddy of mine advised me not to try OOP at first, as he saw many people quickly getting confused by OOP's subordinated concepts such as classes, heritage, encapsulation, etc) and am about to have a look at its OOP counterpart, Delphi. I'm still in the procedural language stage but I wouldn't say no to learning some OOP in advance.
However, I've been wondering, among the new object-oriented programming languages, which one would be the most interesting or useful, from a statistical, technical or practical standpoint:
1. Java
5. Visual Basic .NET
So, which one? I know Java lacks pointers and the like and that C++, while being an overextension of C (C++ being essentially 'C with classes'), suffers from backwards incompatibility with its parent language...and C# is rather new, since it's a Microsoft creation. I know some of you might say 'it depends on what you want to do with it', but I'd still like an idea of what seems to be, right now, the next best thing since sliced bread in terms of usefulness and the whole nine yards behind.
Also, any free compiler to suggest here? I already know about the Eclipse and Bloodshed compilers but some of them have slight shortcomings (the last Bloodshed Dev-C++ compiler dates back to 2005 and it's still a beta with an annoying bug during the installation process - can't relocate the destination folder to within the C:\Program Files directory no matter how many times I try...and the Eclipse Europa Fall-2 doesn't even come with the <iostream> library) and I'd like some feedback.
Thanks in advance.

First, if you're really committed to this, I'd leave the Windows world behind for a while and build yourself a Linux box. The distribution doesn't matter, since all them will include what you need: a full-range of languages and compilers and excellent development tools like Eclipse. All of these are, of course, "free" as in both "speech" and "beer," and most are licensed under the GPL.
I'm not competent to answer the language question, but perhaps rather than starting with a low-level language like C, you might also consider a language like Python?

For tl;dr people: Java teaches you high-level stuff like OOP perfectly fine. However, since Java is very forgiving, it also tends to breed bad programmers. C is very literal and teaches you how to do it safe.
Long answer:
If you're absolutely clueless about basic programming semantics (If you don't know what a For-loop is, read this), I'd spend a little bit of time with Python before moving into C or Java. Python is very easy to learn, and I'd put it in between C and Java as both somewhat forgiving and minimalist. You can quickly learn the easy stuff like If-Then-Else statements and For-loops. Python also comes with an interpreter that works sort of like a graphing calculator, and you can feed it commands to see what it would spit out immediately.
Java is built entirely around OOP, so it's a good learning tool for that purpose. It's also comparatively very forgiving with errors, so it's the way to learn high-level stuff. You also get to learn how to read documentation, because nobody really knows Java - it just depends on how many classes and structures you know how to use, and you have to read up documentation for new ones to figure out how to use them.
Please be aware that since Java is very forgiving, many people develop bad programming styles and etiquette without knowing it (and that's why if you're into Computer Science, you'll soon believe that Java sucks). For that, I recommend C.
If you try C, don't go too far with it, especially when it comes to OOP and manipulating memory. C is a minimalist language and doesn't support OOP that well. The way you have "classes" is you make "structs", write a little library of functions for it, and pretend it's a class. C, however, teaches you how to program right. C is highly literal and will smite you without reprimand for doing memory wrong. For example, if you run over an array (a list of variables), Java will stop and tell you what's wrong and where. All C would tell you is "segmentation fault", and you'll have to go hunting. However, it also teaches you some very good debugging and safe programming techniques that more forgiving languages like Java won't.
Both C and Python are command-line-based, so be prepared to have the Windows Command Prompt open a lot. For C, I recommend using the gcc compiler. It's simple and straightforward. Python's official interpreter/compiler package is sufficient.

Since you're already familiar with proecdural programming, I don't think you'll be uncomforable learning C++. You can use purely precedural code mixed in with OOP, which might benefit with your learning. Object Pascal is decent in this sense too, but 'Delphi' is more than just a language, it's a product, which includes the IDE, compiler, libraries, components etc for Object Pascal. I don't think it's a good idea to get accustomed to using product-specific libraries and such like you may end up doing with Delphi.
That's where C and C++ shine. There's a huge choice of libraries to use for whatever you want to do, most of the better ones are GPL'd, and ported on Windows. I wouldn't say it's necessary to start using linux like Seiji suggested, because all those resources are avaliable on Windows. What's important is using developing tools and libraries that are portable, so you're not hindered if you do want to change platform.
C++ is much more than 'C with classes' though. It's certainly not easy to get to grips with everything, it's a big language that will take you years to completely familiarise yourself with. When you do so though, moving ahead to other languages is much less work, than say, someone moving from Java/C#. They would need to learn much more about how their hardware works, how memory is allocated and such that they would have previously taken for granted. That's why, as Claies shared, they breed bad programmers; people who don't fully understand the significance what they are coding.
The choice of language is yours though, or do you want even more detail on the differences between them? In any case I'd just say, stay clear of VB.net, simply because it has finite resources for learning compared with the others.
Compiler choice (for C): gcc/g++ of course. mingw is a windows port of the gnu compilers, they tend to produce chunky binaries though. Compiler choice isn't a major concern because if you stick to standards it should compile on anything. IDE is a matter of personal preference too. Most of them will allow you choice of compiler, allow makefile exporting etc too (avoid any that don't. Also, avoid DevC++ because it's no longer under development). I use Code::Blocks, which is completely portable, but has a few bugs of it's own. (If you decide to try it, get a recent/nightly build and not the latest stable).
I can't actually think of a non-free compiler for Java. For C#, look into the mono project.

Although of course, for people who will dedicate their efforts to other things like emulators, drivers, or anything that is a little more dependant on performance optimization I'd say that C++ is the best option among the OOP languages though, as you have mentioned, since in this case it is pretty necessary to have all the knowledge that you have pointed out.
Again, this all relies on what will you use programming for. If you are only learning programming as a hobby, and your main focus right now is to learn OOP principles rather than proper programming (which is something that you should be carrying from procedural programming anyway) I'd agree that Python is the best option. I've helped as a teaching assistant in some programming courses, and in my experience Python is the fastest language to pick up.
My IDE recommendations has always been Eclipse. Even though what it shines for is for its Java programming capabilties, it is a very flexible IDE whose plugin system allows it to be a programming interface for practically any language. As such, downloading the corresponding plugins will allow you to use it as a C++, Delphi or Python programming tool

Thanks for the feedback, I somewhat needed it as a few months ago I had a small chat with a long-time buddy of mine who went to university and was quite dismayed when he started, on his first year, to study OOP without lingering safely long enough on mere procedural language. Learning C++ at once, it seemed, caused a significant raise in dropout or failure rate - to such an extent that last year the said establishment decided to introduce Pascal before even considering OOP. Knowing that object-oriented programming ain't always a walk in the park (I have acquaintances who are relatively familiar with it and say they have no problem but others tend to disagree), I wanted to have an idea of what to try first, if it could help me not only master the subject at hand and slowly work my way up (or down, depending on how you picture it) to low-level languages.
I'll have a look at Python - and, yeah, indeed, Eclipse seems nice. I have the Java compiler (although it's not one of the recent builds as I need to add a 'patch' to enable keyboard input - a small nuisance that's been fixed in later versions from what I've been told). And, indeed, Dev-C++ is a goner for me...it hasn't been updated since 1995, so I believe the folks at Bloodshed have either dropped it or gone dormant. Only issue I have and I might look elsewhere for that is that the Europa Fall-2 compiler for C++ doesn't have the <iostream> file, which is used in the tutorial book I bought a few weeks ago. But I'll see whether I can circumvent this.
Oh, and, by the way, is Borland any good? I know they make a lot of compilers (Delphi, C++) but I have yet to try any of them.

I fail to see how learning any high-level language is making you a bad programmer.
Sure, in high-level languages like Java and Python you don't have to worry about memory allocation but that's the whole point of it. And not knowing the low-level stuff isn't a disadvantage - in high level languages. Sure, if you know Python and want to learn C++ then you have to learn to do a lot of stuff that was given before but bad practices for C++ are not necessarily bad practices for Python.
I say, most important is why you want to program and the language depends on the answer to that question.
If you want to learn programming because computers fascinate you and you want to learn how they work, then a low level language is better. There are lots of concept you only need to know when programming a low level language and those concepts also teach you how a computer actually works.
On the other hand, if you want to create an application and that application doesn't heavily rely on performance (95% of all cases), you're better off with a high level language. You simply don't have to bother with a lot of stuff you would have to when programming a low level language. High level languages make away with lot of stuff that's keeping you back and you can focus on creating an application.
I also suggest to consider web programming with either a server-side language like Ruby, Python or PHP or with a client-side language like Flash. You are more limited in those environments regarding what you can do but you also have a much higher reach. Having to download and install an application is an obstruction to a lot of users. Having your application run through a browser will get a lot more people to give it at try.

In my C programming class (yes, we did C), my professor made a point to demonstrate to us at every lesson how things can go wrong and how we should prepare for it. There are commands that specify exactly how much input it takes, rather than eat everything it's given, and there are ways to restrict the range of events code has to handle. He also had a knack of being graphic about it: he'd write code that disobeys that defensive principle and we'll all watch it explode. Other professors who taught the same course paid no attention to this, and our class came out on top of a lowest-common-denominator final exam.
I mean, you really don't need to learn every nook and cranny of the system, but sometimes a little bit of that just to teach people how bad things can get is better safe than sorry. I've seen truly terrible coding practices before and I can't bear how some people ignore protection against misuse over raw performance, simply because they've never been exposed to it.

And again, it heavily depends on what you want to do. If your niche will be extremely optimized programming, to the point that every memory leak, every unused variable, and absolutely optimal and exact memory allocation matters, then you don't learn OOP, or C, or anything like that. You learn assembly and you are programming drivers or programming for microprocessors.
If you are programming an Intelligent Tutorial System targetted towards interactive education, then you obviously you want your program to be responsive within a reasonable frame of time, and obviously you will apply some good and general programming practices. You will take account of the most frequent exceptions and properly catch them, ad infinitum. But you won't really care about how the Pedagogical module interacts with the knowledge repository down to the last bit.
Of course, there are some good programming practices that apply for any language (Modularizing, using design patterns, programming towards intefaces, you name it), and it is always useful to teach students all the work a high level language does for you, so that you can always have it into account whenever they migrate, however those principles and practices aren't in contradiction with the aspects high level languages try to cover from the programmer.

What anyone should know though, is the advantages imposed by their HLL language, why the language has the features it does and how they improve on older methods. Imagine an interviewer asked you that, can you come up with more than a few words for what you know is different? Someone self-taught wont go through the same level of theory as a student, but a self-taught low-level programmer can see the advantages straight off, it's concepts they are already familiar with. That's all I meant by my point about it being easier to migrate and such.
On the other hand, if someone is using a low-level language for the wrong reasons, I'd point my finger at them as the bad programmer. HLLs definitely have the upper hand for the most of modern coding, as long as the programmer understands what they're doing. However, there's plenty of times where they don't, and the result's can be an ugly mess, over-engineered code and real performance killers. thedailywtf will give you some insight into that, I have a few elegant tales of my own too. Ultimately, it's not neccesary to learn everything down to assembly; but there are certainly advantages in doing so.

Well, maybe you want to try ruby instead? It's a very interesting programming language IMO altough i'm also still in the beginning of learning it.
Anyway, giving that choice i'll stick with Java. Java seems fit me well to create programs from business application to game (i've built a visual novel engine with Java). Altough i think it's rather performance demanding than C...

You can actually "program" in Matlab but its really as messy as the old BASIC in some ways and hell to maintain (e.g. taking responsibility for a program someone else wrote).
Its forte is all those lovely math packages and display functionality.
First you have to decide --- are you doing this for a living or for fun?
If you are doing it for a living, you need to research what industries use what languages and what platforms. Most of the "heavy-lifter" programmers I know have eventually migrated to Java because it doesn't tie them to a platform. But the realtime and systems programmers end up *nixing (RTOS and embedded fit more easily in that land). If you're focused on user apps or businessware .... the Visual Studio packages may be more appropriate though, really, I'd be ware of any attempt by MS to lock you into *their* environment.
You can learn good or bad practices in any language or programming environment. Some are better at discouraging bad practice.
I still think the best starter language for pure computer science purposes is a subset of C++ but Java has the advantage of all those GUI libraries for instant gratification, so its a toss up.
If you're really hobbying this, you might look at the Lego Robotics kits and the RTOS packages that you can load in for Java or C(++).
Its a few hundred dollars but you can get a good starting grasp on control systems and feedback loops if you want to do programming outside of the "car payment accounting system" type of computing world.

For GCC on Windows you can use cygwin:
Java JDK:
If you use something other than windows you can generally install GCC pretty easily. Most Linux distros come with it. It comes with the OS X developer tools.
I'm not a developer but I have had to set up some simpleish development environments for others.

I had this same problem a few years ago, but I also learned that the concept of all programming languages is pretty much the same, kinda like how if you played Mario before, then you will find Donkey Kong pretty similar (or any platform-based game for that matter). I like Java more because I personally found that it is way more useful than the other programming languages. (Again, this is based on my situations, so no need to flame.)
Short Answer: Go with Java, but it doesn't really matter (seriously).

There is no need to change to linux to program, that's just a stupid thing to do if you don't want to do it.
You can program C/C++ easily with Dev C++ (which has a lot of devpak for everything, even opengl or directx). You can program Java or Python with Eclipse, there is no need to change your OS.
I'd recommend C/C++ for most uses, it's just the best performance language next to assembly in most cases. Also, it has everything you need to program anything, and offers you the possibility to manage memory at will. However, there are some things that might not be easy to understand.
Java is a bit more friendly and also has a very good performance (sometimes it can overtake C/C++, but the cases are not significant).
Python's performance is something really ugly, but it's an incredibly easy programming language to program some utils that you might want to use either despite the time it takes for them to run or because you are not using much data.

As a general purpose editor I recommend Notepad++. I must say I find it's default styles horrid but it's so easy and intuitive to change it's default style to whatever please you in less then a minute (per language) that it's easily ignored as a disadvantage. (make sure to get it's brilliant hex editor plugin as well )
My personal recommendation...
Hopefully this helps you somewhat.

Lets presume good user code management, then it is more likely to run into random compiler/library problems using the managed (garbage collectors etc...) code coding languages than the more down to the architecture ones like C.
Of'course managed code is nicer to program and to manage when you do not trigger one of the bugs or limitations that often comes with it. For instance I have wasted lots of time trying to work around "side-effects" caused by using C#.
But what can one expect of a coding environment (C# is much more than just a language) when it is develloped in a short time, and supports/relies heavily on tons of transparent libraries (you cannot look inside them) to make high level functions available. ... Which is the main reason why one is screwed when running into problems that are related to buggy function implementations in libraries or compiler errors (a return address for a function is only then a usefull debug information, if there is corresponding source code available... *but that is in big part a problem with the non-open source MS-stuff only - C#).
Other high level languages i.e., Ruby do not have the non-open source problem but evolve too fast. Functionality is added much faster, then reliability and bugfixing is taken care off. Lets say one uses version 1.x and has the bugs x,y,z and wants them corrected for this version... bad luck, since x is bugfixed in 1.x2 which contains the bugs a,b thanks to the new feature moo. Y is bugfixed in 2.x, which does not support some of the stuff in 1.x anymore. And z was never fixed.
Well if one tries to do reliable code management with such a language as foundation, one will have "fun" for years to come.

text: By SAM HANANELWASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Unpaid internships have long been a path of opportunity for students and recent grads looking to get a foot in the door in the entertainment, publishing and other prominent industries, even if it takes a generous subsidy from Mom and Dad. But those days of working for free could be numbered after a federal judge in New York ruled this week that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated minimum wage and overtime laws by not paying interns who worked on production of the 2010 movie "Black Swan." The decision by U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III may lead some companies to rethink whether it's worth the legal risk to hire interns to work without pay. For many young people struggling to find jobs in a tough economy, unpaid internships have become a rite of passage essential for padding resumes and gaining practical experience. "I'm sure this is causing a lot of discussions to be held in human resource offices and internship programs across the country," said David Yamada, professor of law at Suffolk University in Boston. There are up to 1 million unpaid internships offered in the United States every year, said Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal-leaning think tank. He said the number of internships has grown as the economy tumbled and he blamed them for exploiting young workers and driving down wages. "The return on a college investment has fallen, students are facing higher and higher debt burdens, and the reaction of employers is to make matters worse for them by hiring more and more people without paying them," Eisenbrey said. In the ruling, Pauley said Fox should have paid the two interns who filed the lawsuit because they did the same work as regular employees, provided value to the company and performed low-level tasks that didn't require any specialized training.

- The primary objective of this study is to determine if children with psoriasis will have an increased prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. [ Time Frame: one assessment ]
- Metabolic syndrome in children with psoriasis will be determined using body weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, and blood lipid profile. [ Time Frame: one assessment ]
- Surrogate endpoints indicating potential increased cardiovascular risks, including high sensitivity CRP, flow-mediated dilation (FMD) during reactive hyperemia, and hyperemia-induced, pulse wave amplitudes. [ Time Frame: one assessment ]
- For psoriasis patients only: PASI, BSA, and PGA will be measured to establish extent of disease. [ Time Frame: one assessment ]
- Safety Outcome Measures: All adverse events (AEs) will be recorded and monitored. [ Time Frame: each occurance ]

Children with Psoriasis
Children and adolescents from 10-17 years of age with moderate to severe psoriasis.
Control: children with warts
Children and adolescents from 10-17 years of age with warts.
Detailed Description:
Adult patients with psoriasis, especially those who are young and with severe disease, have an increased prevalence of myocardial infarction and metabolic syndrome, and increased mortality. Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and other inflammatory cytokines are felt to play an important role not only in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, but in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
However, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and surrogate markers of increased cardiovascular risk, such as lower flow-mediated dilation (FMD) during reactive hyperemia, measured by high-resolution brachial artery ultrasound, lower hyperemia-induced, pulse wave amplitudes as measured by finger plethysmograph peripheral artery tonometry, and elevated blood CRP levels, in children with psoriasis, are unknown.
We will use the definition of metabolic syndrome described by de Ferranti: Participants are defined as having metabolic syndrome if they meet or exceed the criteria for 3 or more of the following 5 variables: 1) triglycerides ≥1.1 mmol/L; 2) HDL cholesterol <1.3 mmol/L; 3) fasting blood glucose ≥6.1 mmol/L; 4) waist circumference (cm) >75th percentile for age and sex; and 5) systolic or diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg) >90th percentile for age, sex, and height.
The following two noninvasive procedures will be used to assess additional cardiovascular risk: flow mediated dilation (FMD) and finger plethysmography peripheral artery tonometry (PAT). These procedures have been used extensively to measure adults for clinical study purposes for many years.
As a control group, we will compare children with psoriasis to age-, race-,and gender-matched children with warts.

Two Rialto men, already charged in the severe beating of a fan at Dodger Stadium in 2011, now face federal weapons charges, according to an affidavit released Tuesday, May 22.
Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood were both charged Tuesday as felons in possession of a firearm, stemming from a raid at their Rialto homes that revealed a cache of guns. Last July, Los Angeles police seized four semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, and a revolver.
Police went into the home searching for Dodgers jerseys, blue "Dodgers town" towels given away on opening day in 2011, and any newspaper articles about the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow.
The federal affidavit released Tuesday shows that Sanchez and Norwood knew were suspects in the assault on Stow, and shows they discussed hiding their guns and making one last trip to Dodger Stadium.
Stow and his friends were attacked March 31, 2011, in the Dodger Stadium parking lot after they were heckled by fans. The beating left Stow in a coma for several months and he remains severely injured.
Norwood and Sanchez are charged in Los Angeles County with assault and aggravated mayhem and disfigurement.
According to the affidavit, Eric Delatorre, a man dating Sanchez's sister, told investigators that Sanchez had bought a gun from him but wanted to hide his guns since he knew he was a suspect in the attack.
Delatorre said Sanchez told him he wanted to get a bobblehead at one last Dodgers game before he ceased all visits to the stadium in fear that he would be recognized in the beating, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit also mentions a police recording between Norwood and Sanchez after their arrest talking about the guns police seized. Sanchez talked about cutting a deal with police since Norwood let him keep his guns at his home.
The federal affidavit also includes a search warrant, which gives a blow-by-blow account of Stow's beating.
A friend of Stow's said they were being harassed by Dodgers fans because of their Giants apparel. After the game, they tried to find a taxi in the parking lot when they were confronted by the Dodgers fans again.
Witnesses first saw a man push Stow and then follow them as they tried to walk away, according to a search warrant.
About 150 yards away, a friend of Stow's said a man came up and delivered a running punch to Stow's head that instantly knocked him out as he fell to the ground. The man continued to kick Stow in the head while a second man kicked him in the torso.
Stow was unconscious during the beating and showed no motion to defend himself, only moving back and forth with each kick.
As Stow's friends ran to his aid, they were briefly involved in a confrontation with the men, but they found Stow bleeding from the ears. Paramedics who arrived found Stow was suffering from a serious brain injury.
Stow was treated at USC Medical Center for a skull fracture. Doctors believe he may have irreversible brain damage, according to the search warrant.
Witnesses in the parking lot heard the men belligerently talk about beating up Giants fans after the game. After the beating, they scrambled into their car and drove toward the exit.
Police pieced together the beating by reviewing cellphone photos after the game that showed the suspects behind Stow and his friends.
Stow's friends also identified composite sketches of the two suspects, which was later displayed on freeway billboards.
Police later used Dodgers records that the suspects were sitting in the same section as seats purchased by Sanchez. Detectives interviewed several people who had seats nearby on opening day, who also identified Sanchez.
Both men are still awaiting trial on the assault charges in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

A thousand-year-old oak tree still stands in the grounds of what was once a border castle, Stochov, where according to folk legends, young Wenceslas was born. It is said that his grandmother, Ludmila, planted the oak tree there at the time of Wenceslas's birth. Nannies watered the sapling with baby Wenceslas's bath water and thus giving the tree its unusual staying powers. The book also tells about the special ritual for cutting Wenceslas's hair.
Young Wencelsas was influenced by Ludmila and educated in Slavonic reading and writing by her priest, Paul, who in turn has been educated by the Greek missionaries, Cyril and Methodius.

Here is Love Club chapter 33. Got tired of scanning for a while.
I bought a few more manga on amazon because I liked the covers and they had no scans, but they all turned out to be 4 koma manga, which I don't particularly care for. Once I get done scanning the stuff I acutally want to do, I will scan these and decide if I will work on them. If not, I'll post what they are in case someone else wants to do them. Or try to wrangle a new translator in who wants to…
Love Club: ch33
Anyone experienced with doing QC that is interested in doing Nagasarete, hit me up in IRC or leave a message here. The people who normally QC for me haven't read NA, and for some reason they balked when I suggested they just read the 145 chapters real quick to catch up. Lazy bums…
I have a whole bunch of books to scan, so I am going to be in scanning mode for a while. If I put it off, I won't ever feel like doing it… I'll probably be working on translations a bit too, but the focus is on scanning right now.
I made a page that I'll try to update with my progress as it goes along, so check it out if you're curious: MBT Status Page
Also, there were a couple of little errors in Gabriel Dropout volume 1, and I'll post the fixed pages soon(ish)…
Sorry, I was napping…
I have a couple of things to post today. One is a couple of chapters of Nagasarete Airantou. Vortex stalled out on it. I went to offer to help them/take it over, and they haven't responded for about a month now, so I am just releasing these two. I will probably finish out the Beniyasha arc, but I think I will buy and scan rather than using the raws I found online. As it is, I have 5 other books to scan/translate/edit, so it might take a bit to get there. The second is a new series which I found through an Amazon.co.jp recommendation, hope you enjoy it. I will have to get volume 2 at some point, but there's much in the pipeline first.
Pipeline: Hiiragi books 6 & 7. NuigurimiX 3, 4, & 5. Cu-Cu-Cute whatever's left. Ane-Comi vol 2 (and probably vol 1, tbh)

I bought some stuff for ya. At least stop by and say "hey" and let us know how things are going. :-/
Here's the last chapters of Love Club Volume 5…
I'm still trying to track down the covers, then I'll release the full volume 5 archive…
Love Club ch31: MF

The Past
Electric vehicles were reported to start back in 1832 when the first crude electric carriage was born! That's nearly 176 years ago. Then followed a range of more practical vehicles using better batteries which paved the way. France and Britain were the first nations to support the widespread development of the electric vehicle. Over a hundred years ago, an electric vehicle, the Jamais Contente, held the world land speed record when it achieved over 100km/h! The first commercial application was established as a fleet of New York City taxis built by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia. At this time, cars were available in many forms - steam power - electric power and gasoline.
The decline of the electric car was brought about by several interesting developments. Ironically it was the invention of the electric starter motor for the combustion engine by Charles Kettering in 1912 which made gasoline cars even more acceptable and therefore they flooded the market. It required great caution to start up gas burning cars using a cranking handle. The crank handle was responsible for many a broken wrist! The real nail in the coffin was the invention of automotive Mass Production in 1912, one year after the Baker electric passenger car was released.
The re-emergence of the electric car was facilitated as far back as 1947 by the invention of the first transistor in the Bell Laboratories, USA, by Walter Brattain. In 1954 Texas Instruments introduced the silicon transistor making it possible to fit the technology on a single slab of silicon, leading to the integrated circuit that eventually made the electric car's motor speed controller possible.
GMS stand in the Goodwood technology pavilion at Goodwood Festival Of Speed
As transistor technology has been refined and compacted tremendous practical progress was achieved in electronics and electric cars started to make a comeback. Over time electric cars have been continuously improved, but only recently modern computer aided equipment has been available to make complex shapes cost effectively, from lightweight and stronger materials. With a greater understanding of thermal dynamics and material science, the electric motor has come a very long way. Some of the issues associated with older electric vehicles were with motor reliability and old fashioned DC brushed motors which were incorrectly made and matched to applications, caused overheating and eventually component failure.
The present
After several years of research and development activity looking at advanced electric motors, control systems and the evaluation of high energy automotive batteries, Green MotorSport (GMS) will shortly be supplying an entirely new and highly efficient drive train for electric vehicles. The new GMS drive train is based around the brand new liquid cooled GMS M1 motor, which was specially designed to give outstanding performance when used in lightweight vehicles.
The GMS electric motor is not a modification of any other motor, but it has been completely researched and designed from the ground up, by our technical partners. The design has been evaluated and engineered so that GMS can offer a very cost effective and competitive electric power train for vehicle conversions, as well as for OEM manufacturers interested in building electric cars. The technology has been designed to minimise the material and fabrication costs of electric motor components. This ensures that the package that Green MotorSport offers is true value for money.
At the heart of this electric car package there is also a high-powered controller, which is matched to the individual motor and is pre-programmed to deliver exceptional performance. Two motors are used within the protected gearing design configuration to deliver a cost effective, energy efficient drive system. This unique drive configuration gives direct drive to each wheel on the axle with programmable limited slip capability.
Battery Research and development
Green MotorSport has been researching new battery technologies for some time now and speaking with major manufacturing organisations in order to find the most cost effective, viable battery solution for electric cars. There have recently been rapid advances in battery chemistry with certain technologies reaching an amazing 300 Watt hours per KG or more, compared with the 85-155 Watt hours per KG from the various lithium ion technologies currently available on the market.
Above left a precision engineering company displays Wisper at UK machining conference, right, Champagne reception for Michael R Seal, founder and former director of the Vehicle Research Institute at Western Washington University visiting the GMS stand in the Goodwood technology pavilion.
Building the vehicle you want
After much engineering, testing and researching we have designed and built a cost effective power train which is now available to customers. Bearing in mind that the average journey length of the two and a half million new fossil fuel powered cars sold in the UK every year is only about 10 to 12 miles and a third of households have more than one car, an electric vehicle would make the ideal second car for use on shopping and school trips etc. Below the "GMS Dual Powertrain"

New materials for the automotive Industry
Currently Green MotorSport is evaluating several interesting new materials for use in the automotive industry for various components, from non structural areas, to key load bearing structures. These new materials could replace existing chassis materials that are not so cost effective and environmental friendly. The development process of these materials is very interesting, and there is scope for cost effective mass production.

Changed attitudes in America
Over the last 6 months we have had tremendous interest from the US. People in the States are waking up to the benefits of electric vehicles and the cost implications of running a family car as the price of fuel rises. People don't want to rely on fossil fuels any more, and many organisations in different states are seeking alternative power train solutions for electric conversions on existing cars. Many large companies are now looking at green transportation technologies with a view to reducing emissions and the impact on our world. Cars like the Tesla are emerging into the automotive marketplace. Cars that are fast and sporty enhance the image of the electric car, but the truth is that emissions reduction on a level that is required to stabilise the climate can only be achieved with huge changes throughout the whole global population. This can only be achieved by balancing our carbon emissions globally, as well as directly replacing fossil fuel consuming devices.
We are showing people that green is not only cool, fast and fun, but also economic. Currently electric propulsion systems are expensive, but GMS power train is about to change that. Our simple, cost effective design will go into virtually any car under 1800KG, and provide good performance. If you are interested in this complete M1 power train package, please contact us through our website.

India, Pakistan spar over UN mission in Kashmir
The exchange occurred during a UN Security Council open debate on peacekeeping, which was organised by Pakistan under its current Presidency of the 15-nation powerful UN body.
Presiding over the debate was Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, who said his country has been a "proud participant" in peacekeeping missions.
"Pakistan is also host to one of the oldest UN peacekeeping missions - the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP). This Mission has played an important role in monitoring peace along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir," Jilani said.
The reference to UNMOGIP was rejected by India's Ambassador to the UN Hardeep Singh Puri, who suggested that it would be better to spend resources allocated for the observer group elsewhere in difficult economic times.
"Suffice it to point out that UNMOGIP's role has been overtaken by the Simla Agreement of 1972 between India and Pakistan, signed by the Heads of the two governments and ratified by their respective parliaments.
"In times of austerity, we need to address the question whether the resources being spent on UNMOGIP would not be better utilised elsewhere," Puri said in his remarks at the debate, which was initially supposed to be presided over by Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf.
The Pakistani Supreme Court had last week ordered the arrest of Ashraf in connection with a corruption scandal.
Puri stressed that under the Simla agreement, the two countries had resolved to settle difference "by peaceful means" through bilateral talks.
At the end of the debate, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Masood Khan, speaking in his national capacity, responded to Puri's remarks saying that no bilateral agreement between the two nations has "overtaken or affected" the role or legality of the observer group.

Police charge teen with stabbing boy, 14, in Turtle Creek
A Turtle Creek teenager was stabbed in the abdomen during a fight over marijuana early Friday, according to Allegheny County Police.
Police charged Marc Daxavier Ely II, 18, of East McKeesport with one count of aggravated assault as a witness told county homicide detectives that he saw Ely stab Quentell Saunders-Salmon, 14, during a brawl outside the Oak Avenue home the boy shares with his mother, grandmother and two siblings, according to a criminal complaint.
Saunders-Salmon was taken to UPMC Mercy in Uptown, where was listed in stable condition. Ely is in the Allegheny County Jail awaiting arraignment.
Raheem White, 32, told police that he asked to ride last night in a station wagon with a group of young men that included Ely. They went to a 7-Eleven convenience store, where White bought a cigar he intended to use to smoke marijuana, police said.
The group dropped White off in front of the Oak Street home where he lives with his girlfriend, Saunders-Salmon's mother. White told police that the young men became upset when White did not share his marijuana with them.
Minutes later, someone broke the front window of the home and a fight ensued outside. Police arrived about 1:17 a.m.
White picked Ely's photo out of a lineup, identifying him as the person he saw stab the boy.

Manya's Musings from the 2005 Nordic Cup: Journal Entry No. 2
Nordic Cup 2005 – Sweden
Journal #2
Well done, Jillian Ellis. No, not because you're one of the top women's soccer coaches in the country, with a 2000 Nordic Cup title on your resume and several trips to the NCAA Final Four with UCLA. It's because you chose midfielder Manya Makoski to the 2005 Nordic Cup Team.
And that means more "Manya's Musings," one of the most popular and well read ussoccer.com journals in U.S. U-21 Women's National Team history (along with legendary journal writer Jena Kluegel, whose current job at a high-powered New York City investment banking firm, we feel, can be traced directly back to her work on ussoccer.com).
In this second entry, Makoski, a rising senior at Arizona State, checks in from Sweden on the eve of the USA's first match against Iceland and muses about costumed bowling, shopping for cute stuff, evil birds and a very uncomfortable bicycle.
Welcome back again to Manya's Musings. I hope you enjoyed the first journal from Nordic Cup 2005 as much as I enjoyed writing it. Today I'll update you on the escapades of the U.S. U-21 Women's National Team as we get creative with costumes, get a day off from training, celebrate another birthday and prepare for our first match against Iceland on Wednesday, July 20.
I mean, it's not like in the pre-trip information packet we were told to "pack several creative and matching costumes." Finally, random ideas started popping into our heads, but none greater than the idea of using bed sheets as togas (Are we all in college or what?). We thought that this was the greatest idea ever. Psyched as we were with our brilliant idea, Jen and I ran outside to get some leaves for our wreathes like those worn by legendary Greek goddesses! (Really just pre-wrap from the training room with leaves stuck in it). We planned to meet fifteen minutes prior to departure, knowing for sure we would have the best costumes.
Or so we thought…
Tarpley went across the hallway to rival team member Lori Chalupny's and noticed a pile of fresh-picked leaves on the counter. Hmmmmm? She felt a pang of suspicion and asked Chalupa if they were part of their costume. Chalupa's nervous "yes" created total havoc in the midfielder group; the defenders had also planned on wearing togas!
As it turned out, they didn't, but at the time an emergency meeting was called. We had fifteen minutes to figure out a new costume!! After throwing out ideas of wearing the sheets as diapers, being hula girls, or wearing our clothing backwards, we finally decided on being thugs. Yes, thugs, and if you've ever seen me, Tarp, Jill, Carli, Sarah and Jen together, you know that's a stretch. I know it sounds a bit out of the ordinary for American soccer players in Sweden to be going around as "tough girls," but my high school days of being called a "Pint-Sized Thug" helped me prepare for the role, and I shared some tips with my fellow midfielders. (Side note from high school: I was anything but thuggish, but I was tough).
With one pant leg rolled up, fake-tattoos, sagging pants and tank tops, we walked out into the hallway to witness THE funniest scene ever. The forwards and keepers team were dressed in yellow t-shirts, navy blue spandex, sky blue latex cleaning gloves with the fingers cut off, and deflated soccer balls taped to their heads as crash helmets. They were Team Lance! Their striking resemblance to Tour de France bicycle riders was convincing enough to put them in the running for best costumes. The commotion we made was enough to bring out the third group in to the hallway, the Super Swedes. Dressed in white soccer socks, black shorts, black t-shirts, pre-wrap eye masks, braided pigtails, and capes made out of bed sheets, the made-up Swedish superheroes certainly made their mark. Gathering in the lobby area, we waited for the staff to make their entrance. With white t-shirts, jeans, sun glasses, spiky hair (the women had pig-tails), and eyeliner (yes, even on the guys), the Johnny Rotten Bowlers cruised into the lobby. Comedy!
We all took some pictures and headed into town (Yes, we did get more than a few stares as the folks probably hadn't seen a large group of costumed American soccer players too often). Bowling got off to a great start, and although it was briefly interrupted by broken lanes for both us and the Super Swedes, eventually both lanes got fixed, and we finished our game in no time. Jen (a.k.a. Buzz) dominated in our group, bowling some strikes and spares. I, on the other hand, bowled only one strike, good enough to score a big fat 87. Okay, I need to work on my bowling, but I still played with a lot of heart (Much like I did in soccer tennis earlier in the week).
Later on in the day, a bunch of us decided to take Jill out for dinner. Forward Megan Rapinoe rode one of the bicycles the hotel rents out and defender Mary Castalanelli and I sat on the back of the bicycle where there is a small flat, metal platform. Let me tell you something, that shelf was meant for a small bag of groceries, not two people! I can't explain to you how my hips were feeling after that ride, but the words "numb" and "fatigued" might be used.
My concluding thought: So it's been four days, and I have yet to see an IKEA. I'm kind of disappointed to say the least.
Thanks for reading,

The Owen Shaw depicter in 'Fast and Furious 6' inks a deal to lead the remake of the Brandon Lee-starring film.
After approaching several Hollywood big names, Relativity Media finally finds the best actor to lead its upcoming film "The Crow". Welsh actor Luke Evans is reportedly attached to play Eric Draven, a murdered rock star who is brought to life by supernatural bird crow to avenge his own murder as well as the murder of his fiancee.
Deadline reports that the Owen Shaw of "Fast and Furious 6" was initially the studio's first choice to play the title role, made famous by the late Brandon Lee. However, he passed on the offer due to his busy schedule. Hence, the studio has decided to push the start date to early next year to accommodate his schedule and to get him signed on.
Before Evans is signed, Tom Hiddleston was said to be the frontrunner for the job as he reportedly had dinner with producers and even sent them a make-up test that he did by himself in London. However, a week later, the studio reportedly withdrew its offer for him and Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard was suddenly rumored to be the next contender.
Spanish director F. Javier Gutierrez is set to direct the remake of the 1994 film, which was helmed by Alex Proyas, with the script by Jesse Wigutow. Edward R. Pressman, Jeff Most and Ryan Kavanaugh are on board to produce the pic, which is based on James O'Barr's 1989 comic book. No release date has been set yet.

Countries » Iran
Iran is a large country in the Middle East, between the Gulf of Oman, the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea.
Known formally as Persia until 1935, Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling Shah was forced into exile. Conservative clerical forces subsequently crushed Westernisation and also any liberal/left-wing influences. Iranian student protesters seized the US Embassy in Tehran on 4 November 1979 and held hostages for 444 days -until 20 January 1981. From 1980 to 1988, Iran fought a bloody, indecisive war with neighboring Iraq over disputed territory. Key current issues affecting the country include the pace of accepting outside modernising influences and reconciliation between clerical control of the regime and popular government participation and widespread demands for reform. Inflation and unemployment (particularly among youth) are major key economic challenges.
Iran's Mausoleum of Maussollos was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Iran is one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to 4,000 BC.

Report: Google Is the Most Attractive Employer For the Third Year
For the third consecutive year, Google has topped Universum's list of most attractive employers for business and engineering job-seekers.
Universum, a company that works in employer branding, ranked the firms based on the preferences of more than 160,000 students in these two fields.
"For the last three years we have been seeing Google leading the pack and it will take a strong player with a clear talent strategy to steal this number one spot," said Lovisa Ohnell, head of research and consulting at Universum.
IBM leapfrogged Microsoft to take the number two spot on the engineering firms list, and both Intel and Apple improved their rankings. Apple jumped from number in 2010 to number seven this year. Intel moved from the number six slot to five. Sony also made the top 10, ranked sixth on the list. HP and Cisco took the twelfth and thirteenth spots, respectively.
While Google also dominates the business list, other tech companies have made some gains. Apple went from the eighteenth slot to the ninth, and Microsoft's rank bumped up a position, from seven to six. Sony comes in at number 11.
It's not just tech companies that made the list, however. BMW, Proctor & Gamle, and General Electric also made the top 10 for engineering, and several financial companies like JP Morgan, Ernst and Young, and PwC topped the business rankings. But Universum said tech companies fair well on its index because people are increasingly favoring the startup feel of the work at companies like Google.
"The software industry is highly dependent on its human capital, hence the efforts to attract and retain the brightest minds in the world," said Universum global account director Carlo Duranto. "There's a new working-culture paradigm today – the relaxed and creative office – and part of it we owe to this industry. Generation Y feels very comfortable working in this new environment and it's clearly reflected in the attractiveness of the software industry."

The Testament of Solomon is an Old Testament pseudepigraphical work, the authorship of which is ascribed to King Solomon. It describes how Solomon was enabled to build the Temple by commanding demons by means of a magical ring entrusted to him by the Archangel Michael.
A large portion of the book describes Solomon not only as a King but as a someone who commands and has power over the demons.
When a demon named Ornias harasses a young lad (who is favored by Solomon) by stealing half his pay and sucking out his vitality through the lad's thumb on his right hand, Solomon prays in the temple and receives from the archangel Michael a ring with the seal of God (in the shape of a Pentalpha having the name of God inscribed within) on it which will enable him to command the demons (c.f. Seal of Solomon). Solomon lends the ring to the lad who, by throwing the ring at the demon Ornias, stamps him with the seal and brings him under control. Then Solomon orders the demon Ornias to take the ring and similarly imprint the prince of demons who is Beelzeboul/Beelzebul.
With Beelzebul under his command Solomon now has the entire race of demons at his bidding to build the temple. Beelzebul reveals he was formerly the highest ranking angel in Heaven.
In Matthew 12 the Pharisees accuse Jesus of using Beelzebub to cast out demons....
Were they refering to the Testament of Solomon here....Originally Posted by Matthew 12
Jesus rebuked them saying ......"Then I summoned Beelzeboul to appear before me again. When he was seated, I thought it appropriate to ask him, 'Why are you alone Prince of the Demons?' He replied, 'Because I am the only one left of the heavenly angels (who fell). I was the highest-ranking angel in heaven, the one called Beelzeboul. There is also accompanied me another ungodly (angel) whom God cut off and now, imprisoned here, he holds in his power the race of those bound by me in Tartarus. He is being nurtured in the Red Sea; when he is ready, he will come in triumph."
"I said to him, 'What are your activities?' He replied, 'I bring destruction by means of tyrants; I cause the demons to be worshiped alongside men; and I arouse desire in holy men and select priests. I bring about jealousies and murders in a country, and I instigate wars." - TSol 6:1-4
Jesus then refers to himself however as being greater than Solomon.....25Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29"Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house.
30"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
33"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
The Sign of Jonah
38Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you."
After refering to himself as greater than Solomon, he then speaks about his power over the demons......39He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one[e] greater than Jonah is here. 42The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.
Are we to assume from this that Jesus is making reference to the Testament of Solomon? If he wasn't refering to these writings then why did the Pharisees refer to Beelzebub and he answered them saying that he was greater than Solomon? The only answer in my opinion is that both the Pharisees and himself was familiar with the Testament of Solomon and familiar with the concept that Solomon was known as a man who had power over the demons.43"When an evil[f] spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
These writings would have been familiar in the 1st Century.....
Josephus makes reference to the ring of Solomon (VIII 45-49). In the Antiquities of the Jews 8: 2 :5 refering to Solomon he writes....
Other early writings refer to Solomon as having power over the demons too.....God also enabled him to learn that skill which expels demons, which is a science useful and sanative to men. He composed such incantations also by which distempers are alleviated. And he left behind him the manner of using exorcisms, by which they drive away demons, so that they never return; and this method of cure is of great force unto this day; for I have seen a certain man of my own country, whose name was Eleazar, releasing people that were demoniacal in the presence of Vespasian, and his sons, and his captains, and the whole multitude of his soldiers. The manner of the cure was this: He put a ring that had a Foot of one of those sorts mentioned by Solomon to the nostrils of the demoniac, after which he drew out the demon through his nostrils; and when the man fell down immediately, he abjured him to return into him no more, making still mention of Solomon, and reciting the incantations which he composed.
In the Nag Hammadi texts, The Testimony of Truth 70.6-30 notes that Solomon built Jerusalem by means of demons, "because he received [power]."
The Hellenistic Magical Papyri (second century B.C.E.-fifth century C.E.) also reveal interesting material relating to Solomon. PGM IV.3041 mentions the seal of Solomon, which is mentioned throughout the Testament as the instrument of Solomon's power over demons, and which is also mentioned elsewhere, notably in bGittin 68a in the Babylonian Talmud.
Even in later centuries the Quran makes reference to Solomon having power over the demons. (Sura 34:12-14; Sura 38)
It is evident that in the 1st Century the Testament of Solomon would have been a familiar writing. The Pharisees being educated in Jewish writings would have been familiar with this, so when questioning whether Jesus was the prince of the demons, i would argue that they were refering to the Testament of Solomon. Which is why Jesus rebuked them saying....'The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.'
If Jesus did in fact refer to these writings in the bible what does this say regarding all the books of the bible that have been omitted?
What implications would Jesus refering to this book have on the make up of the books of the bible?
Should other books have been included in the bible as we know it?

I see you have the Wisdom of Solomon, but not the Testament of Solomon which is a different book.Originally Posted by Nobby
Personally, I believe Jesus was genius in his use of popular Jewish mythology of the day to not only debunk myths but, at the same time, using them to elucidate an important message. This is one example. Another example is the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, which I believe is based largely on the "Apocalypse of Zephaniah."
Sometimes the most effective course is to work with what the audience understands and build from there - even when their base understanding is wrong.

Two Cut Today
The Senators made two cuts this afternoon, parting ways with forward Mike Hoffman and defenceman Cody Ceci. Hoffman will be sent down to the AHL in Binghamton, while Ceci was sent back to his Junior club in the OHL, Owen Sound. Everyone else will make the trip to Winnipeg for the opener, including all 3 goalies, though there will still likely be a cut or two coming this week.

This was very easy and really tasty. I thought it was a lighter version of Salisbury steak. It certainly was satisfying for a summer meal. I followed the recipe exactly and it was great! I served mashed sweet potatoes with caramelized onions and Caesar salad.

Why do some guys tease to a point where a girl gets annoyed? And then relish in the thought that they've annoyed you into not speaking to them?
I don't mind the banter, if fact I've been known go a little far myself. But with this one guy, I kind of have a little crush on him, he just pushes the envelope on the teasing. And he seems to gloat in the fact that he's annoying. He even thinks that's his charm and it actually isn't. It's is smile and he can actually be very sweet, which I think he wants to hid that.
Why is that with a lot of guys?
Most Helpful Guy
I don't speak for everyone but for myself and am sure a few others who think and are the way I am.
I will tease a girl only if I find her cute. It comes as a natural thing to see her annoyed and that makes my day as someone like me sees her as liking it. This is unless she is really pissed off - I mean REALLY pissed off or I am made to realize that I've teased her on something that actually hurts her (though I surely didn't mean to do that) which is when that part of the teasing stops.
I have always teased even my sister, my daughter, the woman I love, my niece all because I adore them. I sure don't find any sadism in doing so as long as I'm not pulling practical jokes on them and putting them in harms way. This is not true for compulsive practical jokers who find amusement in someone's pain (and/or don't realize that).
Your guy for instance probably does the same cause he finds you cute. This may be one of his ways of expressing his affections to you. He may also be subconsciously nervous and finds this the best way to show you that he thinks you are cute or he cares for you or similar.
There is a vast difference between this kind of teasing and being a practical joker or being sadistic.11|00|0

Dehydrating potatoes is fun and easy! If you let the dehydrator run all night you wake up to the smell of potatoes in the morning. My husband says it reminds him of hash-browns cooking... I still prefer waking up to the smell of bread baking but the smell of dehydrating potatoes comes in a close second. The practical side of dehydrating potatoes is that you can almost make a meal out of potatoes so to have them on hand to cook up at a moments notice is super convenient. Dehydrated potatoes also make a great addition to your food storage as they will last for years if stored properly. We usually buy the huge bag of potatoes from our local big box store, eat half and dehydrate the other half.
How to Dehydrate Potatoes Step by Step:
Wash your potatoes. A lot of people think that if you're going to peel the potatoes then you don't need to wash them. However, if you don't wash your potatoes dirt and germs can transfer from the peeler to the peeled potatoes.
Peel your potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into quarters.
They should look similar to this.
Boil your potatoes for about 5-8 minutes depending on how many potatoes you have and the size of your pot. The more potatoes the longer you should cook them. You want them "al dente". That's just soft enough for a fork or a skewer to go through. Let the potatoes cool in the fridge. I usually leave mine overnight.
Use your food processor to cut the potatoes into shreds. You use the same blade you would use to shred cheese. This will made the potatoes looked like uncooked hash-browns. At this point you can cut the potatoes with a food slicer or mandoline into slices if you like. They would be good dehydrated this way for potatoes au gratin. Since this is not a dish I feed my family often I usually choose to use fresh potatoes when making it. You can fit a lot more shredded potatoes in the dehydrator than you can sliced potatoes and shredded potatoes can be used for hash-browns, soups, casseroles, stews and much more.
Here's a shot of the potatoes still in the food processor.
You can see how they're cut better in this photo.
Load up your trays. Here I have my non-stick dehydrator sheets on my trays. These sheets come in handy for small pieces that might fall through the trays. You can find them here on Amazon. I especially like to use them with potatoes since they are non-stick. It keeps the starch from getting onto the plastic mesh part of the trays, much easier to clean!
Load up your dehydrator. Here you can see I'm using my Excalibur.
Set the temperature and you're ready to let them dehydrate overnight.
Here is a close-up of what the potatoes look like dehydrated.
OK, so you might have guessed the secret to getting the onion smell out of your dehydrator after you've dehydrated a load of onions. That's right! Just dehydrate a load of potatoes. The first time I dehydrated onions I was really worried because I washed all the trays, sprayed them with vinegar and even tried to air out the dehydrator for a bit. It still smelled like onions. I'm sure the smell would dissipate over time, but I use my dehydrator weekly if not daily. Drying fruit in a dehydrator that reeked of onions was something I didn't wanted to try. Fruit is just too expensive for an experiment like that. I discovered that if I just plan to dehydrate potatoes right after onions the smell is completely gone! It's like magic. I'm not worried at all if my potatoes pick up a hint of onions (they never have but if they did I'm fine with that). I'd much rather have a hint of onion in my potatoes than my fruit! There you have it! I told you it was worth waiting for!

Central Plains Water grant will help rebuild Canterbury
19 February 2013
Central Plains Water grant will help rebuild Canterbury
Cantabrians should be celebrating the announcement of Government funding to progress the Central Plains Water scheme – as agriculture like no other industry – has the ability to help fund Canterbury's rebuild, says IrrigationNZ CEO Andrew Curtis.
The Irrigation Acceleration Fund will co-fund $1.71million for preliminary design and planning for Central Plains Water's headrace canal and pipe distribution network. Construction is expected to start September with the scheme delivering 'first water' to some areas for the start of the 2014/2015 irrigation season.
"Central Plains Water will generate significant socio-economic benefit for a region that desperately requires economic stability. IrrigationNZ supports this grant as Selwyn farmers are ready to invest in sustainable irrigation. No other industry in Canterbury can produce such immediate revitalisation of the community. We are talking new construction jobs, increased on-farm labour and contracting demand, as well as downstream spending which will be spread across Christchurch and Canterbury."
"We now look forward to hearing when other developing schemes in the region, particularly the Hurunui Water Project, will receive support from the Irrigation Acceleration Fund. North Canterbury also holds vast potential to assist Christchurch's rebuild through increased agricultural production," says Mr Curtis.
Mr Curtis says Green Party claims that the Central Plains Water scheme would be environmentally detrimental did not marry up with the reality of the scheme.
"Central Plains Water will restore stream flows which will improve the health of aquatic eco-systems and also relieve pressure on the aquifers in stage 1 by irrigating from surface water rather than deep groundwater. Irrigators will also have to sign up for farm management plans which will carefully monitor environmental effects. It appears the Green Party has not taken into account how closely this approach marries up with the Canterbury Water Management Strategy's goal of moving towards a more sustainable and reliable supply of irrigation water," says Mr Curtis.
IrrigationNZ is the national body representing irrigators and the irrigation industry. Its mission is to promote excellence in irrigation throughout New Zealand.
