Hangar8 Lists on AIM
Congratulations this week went to one of PrivateFly's suppliers, Hangar8 who listed on AIM; London's Stock Exchange for small but rapidly growing companies. Placing 1.3 million shares at £1.50, Dustin Dryden (Hangar8's md) pulled in a £2m investment for further growth and expansion.
With many much larger companies such as Ocado struggling this year list on AIM, many would have suggested last week that Hangar8 could not justify their £9.5m market Cap.
Exceeding all expectations, the Hangar8 AIM listing was over-subscribed and insiders in the AIM market told me that 'private aviation is proving to be a strong rebound stock that has a magnetic X factor for investors'
Hangar8 has been a trusted supplier of private jets to PrivateFly members for the past 3 years. They have been prepared to accept thin margins to keep their aircraft and crews airborne, while competitors have remained on the ground.
Not surprisingly, Hangar8's policy of aggressive pricing has made them disruptive and unpopular amongst others aircraft management companies in the industry. What their competitors need to know is that the fragmented private jet market has been changed dramatically by the recession. Smaller aircraft management companies are now facing their 3rd year of tough economic conditions combined with increased regulation costs. To survive these companies will need to reduce operating costs by merging or forming alliances – like the airline industry has done.
Watch this space for further growth from Hangar8.

HCG Drops for weight lossWhen you spend your hard-earned money on things you need and want, it's always better if you take precaution before you finalize your purchase. The same goes with HCG drops as well. It's better, and definitely safer, for you to make sure you're getting your money's worth when buying HCG drops. As such, here are some tips that may help you with your HCG drops purchase.
Always verify its authenticity
Nowadays, there are a lot of people who'd rather take the easy way to make money. They cook up various schemes to sell counterfeit or low quality products. Unfortunately, HCG Drops is no exception. But how exactly can you verify if a seller is offering you authentic HCG Drops and not a counterfeit version of it?
First off, always ask the sellers if they could produce a certificate that could prove the authenticity of the HCG drops they are selling. You should also determine where the solution was made. Make sure that it is made in the USA.
For those of you who are used to buying HCG drops online, you should look for websites or online stores that have a Trust-E logo. With the presence of this logo, you can be sure that the HCG drops being sold on the website is authentic. Aside from the Trust-E logo, always check for the FDA certification.
Purchase the amount that you need
When buying HCG drops, always buy the right amount for your diet plan. With that in mind, a good place to start is to determine the number of pounds you want to lose. If you think a couple of pounds reduced from you current weight is what's best, the suitable choice for you is to go with just a small bottle of HCG drops. But if you think you need to lose a lot of weight, you should go with a big bottle of HCG drops and save more money in the long run.
If you are not sure about the amount of HCG drops you need for your diet plan, you should consult a qualified seller. This way, you can get the proper amount for your diet plan.
Save more by buying from sellers that offer free shipping
Shopping online is one of the niftiest things made possible by the Internet. Not only do you eliminate the need to travel when you need or want something, you also get the chance to save more due to the various deals that may not be available offline. On top of better deals, some online sellers also offer free shipping. You'll be able to get the body you've always dreamed about and save more money. Of course, you have to scrutinize all the "deals" you find online so that you won't end up losing more money than what you have initially planned. If something sounds too good to be true, you may want to look into it some more before you place your order.
r4 3DSThis just in: the R4 3DS is still relevant. Though, in an age where even Nintendo has adapted to digital gaming, some people might think theres no need for an R4 3DS. However, there is.
The R4 3DS fills in 'gaps' that the Nintendo 3DS console hasn't yet filled in for itself. Some aspects of the console might not appeal to core or even hardcore gamers. So, the R4 3DS allows them to maintain some control over their console while getting the most out of its features.
The most current version of the R4 3DS is the R4i Gold 3DS card. There's also a deluxe edition available, too. This card is known to have relatively frequent updates, notably to fix any issues that might happen due to the Nintendo 3DS' security measures.
If you're planning to purchase a R4 3DS card, you're certainly not alone. But, you probably want to learn a little more about these cards before you make a purchase.
In this article, we're going to review some concerns that people might have about using a R4 3DS.
What to know about using a R4 3DS flash cart
Using a R4 3DS flash cart is easier than it looks. However, it does take some time to learn how to set up and, eventually use your new R4 3DS cart.
Most gamers need a PC, the R4 3DS cart, a card reader, another MicroSD card and their Nintendo 3DS to get started. Modern PCs come with a built-in card reader, which is usually a smaller port (or set of smaller ports) located nearby the disc drive.
You'll have to tuck the MicroSD card into the Card Reader and format the card on your PC, backing up any contents that might be there. When you're done, you'll have to download the latest R4 3DS firmware, unzip the file and put them onto your MicroSD card.
When you finish up with the PC, take out the MicroSD card from the Card Reader. Then insert the card into the R4 3DS cart, and place the cart into the 3DS when you're done with that.
Turn on your 3DS and wait for the R4 3DS to respond. When it does, you're ready to use it.
As you can see, using a R4 3DS isn't as hard as it looks. In fact, it's pretty easy. However, if you're still a casual gamer, there are other ways to play downloadable 3DS games on your console, such as downloading them directly from the Nintendo eShop.

Starfox AssaultWhen a game developer has made a blunder in a previous game installment, they have to rectify it to make the game relevant in the future. That is what happened with the Starfox Franchise. Starfox games have become the go-to space game in the early 2000s mainly because of its sheer fun gameplay.
Originally, Starfox games take on its adventures in space. But, the game developers decided to take on a new approach when they released Starfox adventures. It was good for them to try out new things, but it was just a complete disaster from the start.
In order to rectify and save the franchise, the Namco game developers quickly went back to what made Starfox a massive hit. Then, they released Starfox Assault and a lot of people went rave about it. Starfox Assault is a third-person shooter that takes the player back to space. This is a Nintendo Gamecube title that was developed by Namco and published by Nintendo in 2005.
The story revolves around Starfox and his buddies in the quest to defeat the half-insect, half-machine race known as the Aparoids. If you've played Starcraft before, the Aparoids are akin to the Zerg race.
Their mission is to infect all of the galaxies with a certain virus that can make people turn into one of them. All of the Aparoids are controlled by the Aparoid Queen that is located in their Hivemind. Starfox and his friends, old and newcomers, must defeat the Aparoid from infecting other species in the galaxy.
There are a lot of things to like about this game. First is the gameplay. In Starfox Assault, there are 3 gameplay modes: Arwing, Landmaster, and Ground. When you play Arwing missions, you will fly Starfox's aircraft to eliminate the enemies. The aircraft can be maneuvered in space or inside a planet, whichever the mission objectives are.
In the Landmaster game mode, you will control a powerful tank to assist your buddies. You have complete control of the tank that is why players love this game mode. You can basically do whatever you like such as gunning enemies, running over them, just to name a few. And lastly, you can go on foot. If you go on foot, the interface will change to the third-person shooting mode. You can pretty much select any gameplay mode you want to finish missions, but do take note that there are some story missions that require you to be in the Arwing, for example.
There are also new and old characters joining Starfox in his quest to save the galaxy from the Aparoids. Old characters that are present in the game are Falco Lombardi, Krystal, and Star Wolf. There are also new characters to join the old team such as Panther Caroso and Beltino Toad. Namco has truly redeemed themselves with Starfox Assault. They've truly come up with a game that has saved the Starfox franchise. Starfox Assault is available for the Nintendo Gamecube platform. If you want an enjoyable time playing a space game, then be sure to check out Starfox Assault.
Temple Run 2 Game for AndroidWhen I am stuck in traffic, I always whip out my phone and play games to pass the time. Back in the day and even up to this day, I am still playing this awesome running game for the Android operating system.
The game I am referring to is the Temple Run 2 Game for Android. This Android mobile phone game sports a 3D graphical environment with some touches of 2D graphics as well.
Now, what makes this game exciting and appealing to me? Well, for one, this game will subject you to an endless loop of obstacles and other dangers. What you need to do as the player is overcome these obstacles and by doing so, you will rack up points. The longer you survive; the more points you will get.
Of course, this game would be boring if the mechanic is just like that all throughout the game. To spice things up, this Android mobile phone game also has achievements. These achievements require you to do certain, specific tasks before you can get the achievement. For example, there is an achievement where you have to run a total of 1,000m. Or, there is also an achievement where you need to run 500m without getting a coin until you reach that mark. And so on.
What's more, the game developers are quick to release updates as well. Just recently, the app was updated for its Christmas Rush update. Obviously, the holidays are over, but not in the Temple Run 2 Game for Android mobile phones.
What this update has is that it brings both Santa and Mrs. Claus to join the race. There are, of course, a lot more characters in the roster. There are currently 4 male characters and 4 female characters you can choose from, although, you have to unlock some of these characters first. I still remembered the time when this game was still fairly new in the Google Play store. The Temple Run 2 Game for Android mobile phones was just very simple. It didn't have a complex maze or puzzle or anything like that. You just have to run with the longest time possible.
Now, after many updates, the game has blossomed into a really enjoyable and thrilling game. The game now speeds up the longer you survive and the random obstacles will become quite frequent as well. But, with great obstacles come great rewards. Not only will you be given a lot of gold coins (in-game currency) but you will also be given a lot of achievement points as well. By doing a lot of achievements, your character will also level up. When your character's level increases, so is the reward and the character's strength and speed. The Temple Run 2 Game for Android mobile phones is constantly updated with new content each major update. Also, if there are any bugs that needs fixing, the game developers are quick to fix them. If you want an enjoyable game to pass the time, the Temple Run 2 Game for Android mobile phones is a must-have. This Android mobile phone game is free to download in the Google Play Store.

FBI File Manager for the Nintendo 3DSWhen you hear the words "FBI", what usually comes to mind? I bet you're thinking of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation. But, that is not usually the case for Nintendo 3DS owners. There is actually a popular homebrew application that goes by that name and it will be the main subject of this article.
The FBI File Manager is a homebrew application that not only manages your files really well but it also does a host of other things too. The thing most people love about the FBI File Manager is its ability to display all of a particular file's attributes. This can range from the date modified to the file's actual name.
Furthermore, it gives you a total rundown of all of your folders as well as giving you an enhanced look of all of them. It is also presented to you in an alphabetical order to help you navigate through the different files and folders. The FBI File Manager is true to its name because it also allows you to cut, copy, and paste files to different folders as you please. You can also create folders if you like and once you've created them, they will automatically be available and they can be seen using the first letter of its name. Probably one of the best features of the FBI File Manager is that it allows you to install different CIA files right from the homebrew application itself.
Before, you need to run the homebrew manager, a different homebrew application, just to install homebrew files. But, with the FBI File Manager, you can pretty much do so in this file managing app.
You're probably wondering how you install the FBI File Manager app. It is really simple and all you have to do is have a computer, an R4 3DS card, and a Nintendo 3DS portable game console.
Here are the steps you need to do in order to have this homebrew application installed on your Nintendo 3DS: 1. Download all of the pertinent files on the official Github page of Steveice10 (the official creator of the app). 2. Unpack all of the files and put them in the root folder of your microSD card. 3. Plug the microSD card into your R4 3DS card and then plug it into your Nintendo 3DS. 4. Using the homebrew launcher, navigate through the install file of the FBI File Manager and then run it. It will take a few minutes to install. 5. Restart your Nintendo 3DS and the FBI File Manager should be there. That's it! Do remember that you need to have an R4 3DS card for this to get installed. Furthermore, if you do not have a custom firmware with unsigned CIA support, the only CIA files you're allowed to install are the ones that are officially signed. Be sure to install an appropriate custom firmware if you want to run unsigned CIA files.
The FBI File Manager is one of the best, if not the best, file managers for the Nintendo 3DS. If you have an R4 3DS card and you want to sort out your files, be sure to download and install the FBI File Manager

Marc Savard just signed a extension so it was expected that he would score a goal non? The other goals from the B's came from Bergeron and two from Sturm. Former Bolt Mark Recchi got 3 assists.
Halpern got the only goal for the Lightning and Matt Smaby played for the first time this season. The Lightning as a team is going to need to put together a good performance, especially in the defense on Friday because they'll play the Devils. The play between tonight's game of offense from the B's will be a stark contract to the defensiveness from the Devils. Let's move on and hope that the team can put together some effort to stop the losing.

I am rather proud of all that I achieved yesterday. William is getting rather impatient and huffy in the warm weather and flits from one activity to the other so we spent the day coming up with new games. But before we had lunch I had already made a new table cloth for the outdoor table. Which is polished metal and painful to look at in the bright light. I had had some green cotton with tiny white stars in the cupboard for ages and this was just the ticket to knock up a new cloth. I added corner pockets to hold stones to weight it down when its breezy and a lovely flouncy frill.
As you can see William enjoyed eating his lunch at it. Then we devoted our afternoon to games. We played: Catch with water balloons,
car racing with frozen colored ice cubes on a baking tray,
ice age which involved trying to chip out small plastic animals that had been frozen in a large lump of ice,
safari animal hunt around the garden,
digging for buried treasure in the sandpit (scrunched up tin foil balls)
and then to finish we made jelly!
Which went down a treat with ice cream after tea.
Today we have continued to be creative and in preparation for our holidays William made a holiday book with lots of summery pictures from his magazines.
My favorite bit is the ransom note style title.
We're just winding down the day now and waiting for the grandparents to call and collect William for a walk to the park. Which inevitably means they will expect to have cake with their coffee when they return.
So we've just whipped up a batch of fairy cakes which will have to go un-iced as we've run out of icing sugar, and a Bakewell tart.
Just perfect for a cup of tea and a relax as the sun goes down. x

COLUMBUS -- Disabled firefighters and parents of autistic children had something to cheer about following lawmakers whirlwind end-of-year lame duck session, with movement on a couple of long-sought law changes.
Here are 10 more bills that were signed by Gov. Kasich in recent days, most of which will take effect in about three months:
11. Firefighters: SB 27 will help ensure that full-time firefighters who have been on hazardous duty for at least half a dozen years and who are diagnosed with cancer can access workers compensation and other disability benefits as they deal with the disease.
Backers of the move say firefighters are exposed larger concentrations of carcinogens compared to other professions, and they shouldn't have to fight for benefits when they later face cancer diagnoses.
" Firefighters contract cancer at a much higher rate than most any other profession," Rep. Michael Henne (R-Clayton) said during the floor discussion of the legislation late last month. " SB 27 helps take care of them and their families when they need it the most, when they are fighting cancer."
More than 30 other states have comparable legislation in place.
12. Namesake: SB 27 was titled the Michael Louis Palumbo Jr. Act, in honor of the Cleveland-area firefighter who is battling brain cancer. Palumbo was at the Statehouse the day lawmakers finalized the bill and this month to watch Kasich sign the legislation into law.
13. Report: One final note on the bill: The Bureau of Workers' Compensation will prepare a report within the next two years (and updated every couple of years afterward) noting the number of presumed cancer claims that result from the law changes.
14. Autism Coverage: When HB 463 was introduced more than a year ago, it mainly focused on laws dealing with the handling of foreclosures and judicial sales of such properties.
By the time lawmakers were done with it last month, the final legislation included all sorts of other stuff, including mandates that insurance plans cover autism services.
The latter includes coverage for "screening, diagnosis and treatment" services, according to an analysis by the state's Legislative Service Commission. " The bill prohibits a health plan issuer from terminating an individual's coverage, or from refusing to deliver, execute, issue, amend, adjust, or renew coverage to an individual solely because the individual is diagnosed with or has received treatment for an autism spectrum disorder."
The legislation includes minimum coverage levels -- 20 visits to speech, language and occupational therapy for children younger than 14, 20 hours per week of clinical therapeutic intervention and 30 visits for mental or behavioral health outpatient services.
15. Joining Most of the Rest of the County: Ohio joins more than 40 other states that have autism coverage requirements, according to the advocacy group Autism Speaks.
That group also noted that state employee health plans already were required to provide coverage for autism treatments, thanks to an earlier executive order signed by the governor.
16. No More Plywood: One other thing about HB 463: The bill bans the use of plywood over windows and doors of abandoned or otherwise vacant properties. Plywood already in place can remain, however.
17. Flu Shots: SB 311 requires the Ohio Department of Health to create a fact sheet describing the health risks of influenza for older adults and the availability and effectiveness of vaccines.
Copies will be posted on the agency's website and in long-term care facilities in a place where they can be readily seen by residents, employees and visitors.
According to LSC, which cites the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "influenza is a contagious disease caused by influenza viruses. It can result in mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can lead to hospitalization or death. The elderly, young children, and individuals with certain health conditions are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year."
18. No Prison Farm Sales, Yet: HB 471 included a bunch of land conveyances, opening the door to certain state agencies to sell at auction or otherwise transfer public property to other buyers.
But the final version of the bill did not include farmland currently owned by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which decided earlier this year seek other job training and programming for inmates outside of farm and fieldwork.
Lawmakers will have to revisit that issue in the new general assembly.
19. Not Public Records: That same bill included language exempting military service deployment papers from perusal under the state's public records laws.
There were concerns voiced by some that such records, when included in public officials' personnel files, could be accessed by unfriendly eyes. Now, those calls to order won't become public records in such files until 15 years after their published or effective date.
20. One other Exemption: There was another public record exemption included in the final bill: documents that are part of an agricultural commodity marketing program that indicate "how an individual has voted on a referendum to establish or amend a marketing program or in an election of the members of an operating committee," according to LSC.

Rich and Famous
Thursday, December 19, 2013
Introduction by star Candice Bergen at the 6:30pm screening!
Cukor's final film follows two college friends through 20 years of marriage, success, jealousy, frustration, falling outs, and reconciliations. Liz (Jacqueline Bisset) and Merry (Candice Bergen) become fast friends in their first year of college, then go their separate ways—one a celebrated author, the other a Malibu housewife with dreams of literary stardom. Eventually the tables are turned, then turned again, and soon everything is turning: time, fortune, happiness, friendship. Rich and Famous is a wistful and ultimately bitter swan song for Cukor's remarkable half-century career, anchored by two performances that this famed director of actors could be proud to go out on. With Meg Ryan in her first acting role as Bergen's teenage daughter.

Bay Street Players to Present RED, Opening 2/21
Red, a drama Josh Logan, will open at the State Theatre in downtown Eustis on February 21 and run through February 24. Called "a visceral exercise in art appreciation" by the New York Times, Red tells the story of artist Mark Rothko, and his commission in 1958 to paint a series of murals for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. The play explores the heart of a controversial artist and the compromises that must sometimes be made between art and the need to survive. This production features long-time friends and collaborators Terrence Shank and Joel Warren.
First produced by the Donmar Warehouse, London in December 2009, the original production was directed by Michael Grandage and performed by Alfred Molina as Rothko and Eddie Redmayne as Ken. It then transferred to Broadway at the John Golden Theater for a limited engagement. It was the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Play.
This Bay Street Players production will mark the second time Terrence Shank and Joel Warren have been reunited onstage, the last time being the Second Stage production of Visiting Mr. Green in the 2010-2011 season. Mr. Shank was the Artistic Director at Mount Dora's IceHouse Theatre in 1996 when the Joel Warren, then 13 years old, first performed on that stage. Throughout Mr. Warren's education, Mr. Shank was his mentor, director and friend. Now a resident of South Africa, Mr. Shank is back to visit family.
Curtain times for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, February 21-23, are at 8:00pm. Curtain time for Sunday, February 24 is at 2:00pm. All tickets are $10. The State Theatre is located at 109 N. Bay Street in downtown Eustis. Call the box office at 352-357-7777 for information or tickets, or purchase tickets online at baystreetplayers.org.

UncleBuck is a real fan, while I am only a casual fan. The problem, from the PS&E perspective is that most people are like me, and there are few like UncleBuck.

The history of personality disorders is an interesting one. Read how the different types of personality disorders came into being.
Well into the eighteenth century, the only types of mental illness - then collectively known as "delirium" or "mania" - were depression (melancholy), psychoses, and delusions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the French psychiatrist Pinel coined the phrase "manie sans delire" (insanity without delusions). He described patients who lacked impulse control, often raged when frustrated, and were prone to outbursts of violence. He noted that such patients were not subject to delusions. He was referring, of course, to psychopaths (subjects with the Antisocial Personality Disorder). Across the ocean, in the United States, Benjamin Rush made similar observations.
In 1835, the British J. C. Pritchard, working as senior Physician at the Bristol Infirmary (hospital), published a seminal work titled "Treatise on Insanity and Other Disorders of the Mind". He, in turn, suggested the neologism "moral insanity".
To quote him, moral insanity consisted of "a morbid perversion of the natural feelings, affections, inclinations, temper, habits, moral dispositions, and natural impulses without any remarkable disorder or defect of the intellect or knowing or reasoning faculties and in particular without any insane delusion or hallucination" (p. 6).
He then proceeded to elucidate the psychopathic (antisocial) personality in great detail:
"(A) propensity to theft is sometimes a feature of moral insanity and sometimes it is its leading if not sole characteristic." (p. 27). "(E)ccentricity of conduct, singular and absurd habits, a propensity to perform the common actions of life in a different way from that usually practised, is a feature of many cases of moral insanity but can hardly be said to contribute sufficient evidence of its existence." (p. 23).
"When however such phenomena are observed in connection with a wayward and intractable temper with a decay of social affections, an aversion to the nearest relatives and friends formerly beloved - in short, with a change in the moral character of the individual, the case becomes tolerably well marked." (p. 23)
But the distinctions between personality, affective, and mood disorders were still murky.
Pritchard muddied it further:
"(A) considerable proportion among the most striking instances of moral insanity are those in which a tendency to gloom or sorrow is the predominant feature ... (A) state of gloom or melancholy depression occasionally gives way ... to the opposite condition of preternatural excitement." (pp. 18-19)
Another half century were to pass before a system of classification emerged that offered differential diagnoses of mental illness without delusions (later known as personality disorders), affective disorders, schizophrenia, and depressive illnesses. Still, the term "moral insanity" was being widely used.
Henry Maudsley applied it in 1885 to a patient whom he described as:
"(Having) no capacity for true moral feeling - all his impulses and desires, to which he yields without check, are egoistic, his conduct appears to be governed by immoral motives, which are cherished and obeyed without any evident desire to resist them." ("Responsibility in Mental Illness", p. 171).
But Maudsley already belonged to a generation of physicians who felt increasingly uncomfortable with the vague and judgmental coinage "moral insanity" and sought to replace it with something a bit more scientific.
Maudsley bitterly criticized the ambiguous term "moral insanity":
"(It is) a form of mental alienation which has so much the look of vice or crime that many people regard it as an unfounded medical invention (p. 170).
In his book "Die Psychopatischen Minderwertigkeiter", published in 1891, the German doctor J. L. A. Koch tried to improve on the situation by suggesting the phrase "psychopathic inferiority". He limited his diagnosis to people who are not retarded or mentally ill but still display a rigid pattern of misconduct and dysfunction throughout their increasingly disordered lives. In later editions, he replaced "inferiority" with "personality" to avoid sounding judgmental. Hence the "psychopathic personality".
Twenty years of controversy later, the diagnosis found its way into the 8th edition of E. Kraepelin's seminal "Lehrbuch der Psychiatrie" ("Clinical Psychiatry: a textbook for students and physicians"). By that time, it merited a whole lengthy chapter in which Kraepelin suggested six additional types of disturbed personalities: excitable, unstable, eccentric, liar, swindler, and quarrelsome.
Still, the focus was on antisocial behavior. If one's conduct caused inconvenience or suffering or even merely annoyed someone or flaunted the norms of society, one was liable to be diagnosed as "psychopathic".

Granted, some commentary on Washington's latest sex scandal does make a noble search for larger meaning, but most pundits are simply fixated on the ignoble behavior of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner.
No doubt Richard Cohen is among a tiny minority offering Weiner a defense — tepid though it is.
"Every man is a boy, either in mind or in deed," the Washington Post columnist writes. "Much of this is harmless. There are no bodies. There is no crime. This is the case with Weiner. No damsel was in distress, and no one was rescued.
"This is the place for me to condemn Weiner. Consider it done. He's a liar and a creep. … But I would also like to condemn those … who deputized themselves to invade someone's private life, his fantasy life, and hold him up to ridicule."
Other columnists, though, have no problem confining their condemnation to the New York Democrat.
"People tell me Weiner is a smart guy," John Podhoretz writes in the New York Post. "But unless he unconsciously sought to get caught … what he has done over the past week should forever retire the notion that he is anything but a colossal boob of the highest order."
"Unlike other sex scandals," Joan Vennochi writes in the Boston Globe, "Weinergate involves sexy messages, not actual sex. But real sex might be less creepy than the crass, juvenile and egomaniacal exchanges he initiated with young strangers in a virtual world."
On a National Review blog, Mark Steyn wonders: "Why would any sentient being believe a word the right honorable Weiner says about anything ever again? … Look at what this thuggish narcissist grotesque was prepared to do over the last week, and ask yourself. If Weiner is fit for 'public life,' who isn't?"
Michael Goodwin is similarly indignant.
"Any official who uses his political notoriety to send naked pictures of himself to strangers, then concocts a defense out of elaborate lies and false indignation, is too far off the beam to trust," the New York Post columnist writes. "The notion that we must pay taxes to pay his salary is outrageous."
Froma Harrop is dumbfounded by Weiner's gross disregard for the Internet's power.
"Even high school kids know not to put drunken party pictures of themselves on Facebook, lest a potential employer get the wrong (or perhaps the right) idea about them," the Providence Journal columnist writes.
Clarence Page, though, thinks he has an idea why "otherwise sensible men" may take spectacular risks in cyberspace.
The Chicago Tribune columnist reports that one clue "into the dark reaches of the hyper-masculine cyber-soul might be found in the malady 'hotness delusion syndrome' that Australian demographer Bernard Salt found in men in their 40s who think they are super-attractive to women. …
"Powerful Washington men may be particularly susceptible to delusions of their own hotness as they hear more respect and admiration than they experienced on, say, the high school debate team."
Meanwhile, E.J. Dionne impatiently waits for a day Americans don't get so easily distracted.
"We're acting like a country that has all the time in the world to dance around our troubles by indulging in ideological fantasies and focusing on the behavioral fantasies of wayward politicians, …" the Washington Post columnist writes.
A new Britney Spears song, Dionne notes, offers the refrain, "Keep on dancin' till the world ends."
"Forgive me for wondering whether her song will provide the soundtrack for some future documentary on our national decline if we don't get very serious, very soon."

Church Investment Aim: Putting UU Values to Work
During the past 10 years the Davies Memorial Unitarian Universaslist (UU) Church, Camp Springs, MD (107 members), has invested $25,000 in donations and loans in the UU Affordable Housing Corporation, based in Washington, DC. The money has come from the church's endowment fund and from individual members.
The housing corporation uses the funds from Davies and many other UU congregations to make below-market rate loans to nonprofit developers of affordable housing. In all, close to $2 million has come from congregations.
The housing corporation is one example of ways UU congregations can put endowment funds to work in socially responsible ways, says Jerry Gabert, Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Treasurer. He encourages congregations to look in their own communities for ways to put their UU principles into practice. Chambers of commerce and city halls are good places to begin looking for those opportunities.
The UUA will match member contributions up to $10,000 for purposes of community investment. The investments must be in community loan funds that are members of the National Association of Community Loan Funds. Most opportunities like this will be in affordable housing, Gabert said. "This can double the potential impact that a congregation can have," he says.
The Rev. Ralph Mero, UUA Director of Church Staff Finances, encourages congregations and individuals to invest in a socially responsible manner. Many congregations invest their endowment funds with the UUA, knowing that the association is in the forefront of religious organizations that follow socially responsible principles in fund management.
In addition to shunning corporations that produce products such as tobacco and weaponry and engage in unfair labor practices and environmental degradation, the UUA Investment Committee, which includes Gabert and several UUs who are professional money managers, seeks out companies that strive to be socially responsible in both corporate and public policy.
Mero says his office receives frequent inquiries about socially responsible funds that might be good choices for IRAs and other personal investments. He refers callers to the SocialFunds website, which lists some funds that have outperformed general unscreened funds.
Rex Neihof, a member of Davies Memorial Church and a member of the board of the housing corporation, said the congregation first got involved because another member was an officer of the corporation. Then, when members of the church began doing volunteer work for the corporation, that spurred more interest, he said. "They could see what was needed and what was possible. It brought home to people what could be done."
The UU Church of Arlington, VA (870 members), has invested $11,000 in the housing corporation. "It gives us a sense we're providing help in a fairly significant way," says member Gene Mulligan.

Superior disease control
Headline AMP fungicide provides two modes of disease control. The first helps prevent diseases and the second is a best-in-class triazole that provides post-infection disease control.
Unmatched Plant Health benefits
One of the active ingredients in Headline AMP fungicide is F500®, a unique, advanced chemistry that delivers well-documented Plant Health benefits. F500 helps plants grow more efficiently and allows them to focus their energy on producing higher potential yields.
Discover the benefits of a two-spray program on corn.
In fields that are especially disease-prone or fields that are managed on a corn-on-corn, no-till or minimum-till basis, many growers have had improved results with a pre-tassel application of Priaxor® fungicide followed by an application of Headline AMP fungicide between VT and R2. Priaxor fungicide applied pre-tassel helps provide early-season disease control and protects the lower part of the plant. This application can also be cost-efficient because you can tank-mix with your post-herbicide to make one pass in the field. Applying Headline AMP fungicide at tassel allows for excellent control of late-season diseases while providing excellent Plant Health benefits which enable the plant to utilize all of its resources for grain fill, resulting in maximum yields. This two-spray solution is especially effective in specific conditions, including:
- High plant populations
- Continuous corn
- High residue
- History of corn disease
- Disease-sensitive hybrids

How Would You Handle This Complaint
Business By dreamcakesmom Updated 5 Mar 2010 , 1:57pm by KarmaStew
So I did a 2 tier cake with intricate 3-d sculpted animals, fondant details, etc. The cake was a vanilla chiffon cake which I use simple syrup between layers. I got an email saying hate to complain because the cake was so beautiful but it was a little dry. I have another order coming up for her so she asked if there was anything I can do to make it not so dry.
The cake itself by nature as a chiffon is not what people are used to say compared to a box mix so I'm wondering if maybe that's the issue. I tried a piece of the cake from the same batch that was baked for a cake that was carved and I thought it was ok. Ideas??
Americans do not expect Chiffon cake and unless the customer specifically requested it, I would not be using Chiffon. It's very easy to overbake and it does stale a little faster than a regular batter style cake. Most Americans grew up on boxed cake so that's the texture they're looking for. (Even in a scratch cake.)
I only bake from scratch, and haven't made a Chiffon cake since culinary school.
leah- THanks for your quick response. I pick the chiffon as I found it firm enough to hold up to carving and light enough for stacked cakes to not have a ridiculously heavy cake but I see your point. I guess the question is now that this customer had the chiffon, do I offer her a new cake for the next order or do I just try to improve the chiffon for the next order?
I'd explain to her that you'd chosen a different, but "classic" style of cake. If she'd prefer a more "traditional" style of cake you can provide that also.
But yes, I'd get off the Chiffon bandwagon.
Agreed, Chiffon cakes are dry by nature, that is why they pair so well with syrups and fruit compotes. They are sponge cakes. They are meant to soak up something. I consider Chiffons and other sponge cakes to be symbiotic. They really rely on the moist element to bring out their best qualities, without it, they just are too dry to please, and their delicate flavors loose their charm due to the dryness. And simple syrup to me is just awful tasting and does nothing to assist truly with moisture.
leah- THanks for your quick response. I pick the chiffon as I found it firm enough to hold up to carving and light enough for stacked cakes to not have a ridiculously heavy cake but I see your point.
I make a super moist and SUPER dense and HEAVY cake...........the weight of the cake has nothing to do with stacking them, you're relying on your support for that. I could stack concrete blocks as long as I can get my sps legs down through them lol.
As for carving, as long as your cake has a nice tight crumb to it, regardless of how light or dense it is...it will carve fine. Fluffy, airy cakes on the other hand don't fare as well with carving!
Khalstead- I wasn;t referring to the weight in having problems stacking them but rather dealing with the full weight of the cake when it comes to boxing it up, and me carrying to transport. I think we'd all agree it's easier to carry a stack of pillows then a stack of concrete blocks
oh, I gotcha........I thought you meant for stability!
Hi, I had a problem very similar a few months ago, and I had to replace the cake. But I wanted to share with you if you get a chance to buy this book which I have found very useful it's named Cake for dummies. The recipies it states in this book (chapter 6) have been great not only for me but for my customers.
Take a look on it, and I'm sure you will not regret.
Have a nice day, and good luck with your cake, I'm sure you'll do it fine this time.
I don't care for chiffon myself....and with the syrup to me it just tastes like "soggy stale cake" haha....
I use doctored box mix for my vanilla cakes and then scratch for pound, chocolate, and some other flavors. Everyone raves over all of them equally. I agree people are looking for that "fluffy" bakery style cake flavor. When I can find one that tastes like it from scratch I may make the final switch but so far I have not! Plus, I like using the boxes at times because if a customer orders "chocolate and vanilla" or "marble" it works great because my chocolate recipe is very dense and will not bake up well with a vanilla fluffy cake.
You might ask her if she ate the cake cold, straight out of the fridge--we had big problems with that at the bakery. Almost all complaints of dry cake were because the cake was not allowed to come to room temperature first. (bigger think with butter cakes, but it seemed true with sponges as well--I think the syrup gets cold and solidifies a bit and seems "dry")
I would suggest to her that she order a different flavor for next time. I would not offer a refund. She will see with her next cake that it is not you, the baker, who does not make tasty cakes, it is the flavor that was used at the time.
When customers place an order I always tell them to pick the cake up well in advance because it needs to come to room temp. When they're cold then they're hard and not very good, actually. They need to get cozy at room temp and let the flavors develop.

A proposal is gaining traction that would require all incoming freshmen at the University of Maryland to attend a sexual assault class.
Last week, a committee of the University's senate voted to move forward with the proposal, but there are still a number of bureaucratic hurdles it must go through before becoming a reality.
Statistics from the University's Department of Public Safety show that in both 2009 and 2010, 10 crimes classified as "forcible sex offense" were reported.
In 2011, the number fell to five.
But a federal study conducted several years ago concluded that around one in five college women are either victims of sexual assault or an attempted sexual assault, and many believe a lot of the crimes go unreported.
"It something that people just don't talk about," said University of Maryland senior Andrea Marcini, who among the group of students advocating to make the class mandatory. "And that's one of the biggest problems. How do you combat the prevalence when people just don't want to speak out?"
Right now, some Maryland students attend a sexual assault class, but many don't. The proposal would make a one-hour class required for all incoming freshman.
Some students ABC7 talked to think that is a good idea, especially to educate students about "gray areas" involving alcohol.
"There can be kind of blurred lines," said senior Nick Daly, who is a criminal justice major. "I think it would be good for people to understand that there's a definite point where you're crossing the line and you're doing something wrong."
Supporters of the measure are optimistic it will eventually pass and become the rule on campus.

Associated Press
Thursday, January 15, 2009
CHATTAHOOCHEE, Fla., Jan. 14 -- A daredevil money manager whose run from ruin was halted when investigators interrupted his suicide attempt at a Florida campground found his legal problems compounded Wednesday as authorities filed federal charges against him in the three-day ordeal.
U.S. marshals tracked Marcus Schrenker, 38, to a northern Florida campground Tuesday night, peeling back the flap to his one-man tent to discover him in clouded consciousness with blood-soaked arms, muttering the word "die." The capture ended a multi-state scramble to find him after he allegedly staged a plane crash and parachuted out over Alabama, then fled.
Scott Wilson, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service's Northern District of Florida, said Schrenker was charged with intentionally wrecking his aircraft and faking a distress call, causing the Coast Guard to launch a search to save his life when it was not necessary. Schrenker was resting in a heavily guarded hospital room Wednesday but was expected to appear in a Florida court before returning to his home state of Indiana, Wilson said.
How U.S. marshals were able to track Schrenker to the campsite remained a mystery, but he gave them ample opportunity: Officials said he drove a flashy red motorcycle, approached local police after allegedly jumping out of the plane and even sent an e-mail to a friend saying the whole situation was a misunderstanding.
"It's certainly something right out of Hollywood -- someone parachuting out of a plane to avoid capture as a fugitive. It's certainly not the run-of-the-mill case for us," Wilson said.
The campground's owners said Schrenker arrived at the tree-lined site Monday night, riding the red cycle and wearing a brown leather jacket. He did not give a name but handed over $25.75 in cash for a tent site and bought some firewood and a six-pack of Bud Light Lime. They gave him a password for the site's wireless Internet connection, owner Caroline Hastings said.
"He said he was going across the country with some buddies. He wanted to stop. He didn't know if they would," said Hastings, 32, who operates the campsite with her husband, Troy.
The next day, the couple grew suspicious when he hadn't checked out by 5 p.m. after having paid for only one night. Troy Hastings went to his tent and saw a red stain on one of the outer flaps.
"Are you okay? Planning to spend another night?" he called out.
Schrenker said that he was and that he would be by later to pay. He did not come.
Later, the Hastings were making dinner when the sheriff called and asked whether anything odd was going on. Troy Hastings mentioned the camper, and the sheriff asked whether they could come identify him. Caroline Hastings did not need to look at a picture long to know it was him -- and soon authorities swarmed onto the grounds and found Schrenker bloodied and barely conscious.

HOCKEY; Rangers Point to Olympics as Start of Downfall
By LEE JENKINS
Published: May 2, 2006
Petr Prucha sat in the Rangers' locker room Monday wearing a T-shirt, shorts and skates, the mismatched uniform of any hockey team caught between the N.H.L. playoffs and summer vacation.
Prucha's reluctance to take off his skates said something about the Rangers' newfound commitment. For the first time in nine seasons, they clearly did not want the ice time to end.
Looking to assign blame for their quick exit from the playoffs, the Rangers settled on an international institution. Players and coaches agreed that the Olympics were as much at fault for their downfall as the penalty-killing unit.
If nine Rangers had not left in mid-February for Turin, Italy, they could have had more to offer for the playoffs, they said.
''I believe the Olympics had something to do with our mental state,'' Coach Tom Renney said. ''If I had a fear of anything, it would be where we were psychologically coming back from the Olympics. I think that had an effect on our team.''
Like most clubs starting long vacations, the Rangers were in an honest mood Monday. Right wing Jaromir Jagr said he might need surgery on his dislocated left shoulder. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist finally admitted that his hip flexor had not healed. And left wing Martin Straka, a Jagr sidekick who is becoming a free agent, said he might stay in the Czech Republic next season.
The Rangers' rebuilding process started in the Czech Republic, but it probably will not end there. The roster includes seven Czech players; many of them were acquired partly to make Jagr comfortable, and they were significantly more productive at the beginning of the season than at the end. If the group is broken up, Jagr will have to understand.
''I would be happy to see everybody back,'' Jagr said. ''But this team is probably going to see some changes.''
Jagr can count on at least one alteration -- to his uniform. In training camp, Jagr indicated that he did not want to be designated the Rangers' captain and wear the traditional C on his jersey. Now that he has broken the franchise record for goals and points in a season, he apparently feels differently. ''I'm not running from that,'' Jagr said. ''It would be a big honor.''
The Rangers, often ridiculed for acquiring high-priced superstars, are finally trying to build around the one they have. Renney says he is hoping to acquire a proven defenseman who can push the puck and a veteran forward with a scoring touch, although he still wants to award roster spots to worthy prospects.
In the past, the Rangers were a popular free-agent destination because they had money. This summer, they want to lure players with the promise of success. The Rangers are no longer a well-paid reclamation project. When Jagr and Lundqvist return to health, the team will have to be considered a contender.
''We felt how good it can be,'' Lundqvist said. ''That will help motivate you.''
Of course, expectations lead to a new set of challenges. The Rangers had the benefit this season of being overlooked. Because they were picked to finish last in the Eastern Conference, each accomplishment prompted celebration. The surprise parties are probably over.
Still, the rest of the league cannot know what to make of the Rangers just yet. Were they the team that had 100 points and made the playoffs for the first time in nine years, or were they the team that lost the Atlantic Division and was swept out of the playoffs by the Devils?
''People may look at the Rangers and say, 'Hmm, what do we have here?' '' Renney said. ''It's completely fair.''
When Renney reviewed the four losses to the Devils, he asked himself whether he pushed his players too hard and wore them out for the most important time of the season. He concluded that the Olympics were the culprit. They robbed momentum and sapped energy.
Renney may sound as if he is making an excuse, but the Rangers were at their best going into the Olympics, and at their worst coming out of them. They had players competing for Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic, teams that advanced deep in the tournament.
''After the Olympics, guys were tired,'' Straka said. ''Then some key guys got injured. And we fell apart.''
As Straka lamented one international tournament, Prucha prepared for another. He took off his T-shirt and shorts, replacing them with his pads and his practice uniform.
He was not in denial about the playoffs. He was preparing for the world championships.

In the grand old days of trains, the fastest were called the "Flyers." By 1938, the fastest steam trains (yes, steam trains) in America hit 120 miles an hour. California is now considering a new kind of "flyer" on the rails — trains running at 2 to 3 miles a minute.
But watch your wallet. The present high-speed rail plan, unveiled on Nov. 1, is deeply flawed, and it's likely to become the biggest budget-buster in our state's history.
Why should we care? Plenty is at stake for us, including tax money out of our pockets and a California transportation budget that will be deeply in the red for many decades to come. Road maintenance in many parts of California will most definitely suffer, because our state tax money that should go for roads will be spent in great gobs elsewhere, not just in the 20 years covered by the rail plan, but forever after. Newspaper coverage in our state capital has been laudatory. Beware the happy talk.
Disclosure: I love trains. I was the senior vice president of a group of regional and short-line freight railroads operating in five states. Then, at the Smithsonian, I was hired because of my knowledge of transportation, and to study it — including every measure of costs. I've studied the subject for decades, for all types of transport, for passengers, for freight, and in the U.S. and overseas.
Big Fact No. 1: No rail passenger rail system anywhere on earth is profitable, if you count all the ongoing required costs over at least two or three decades, and even if up-front capital costs are not included. There are the pesky ever-after costs: for daily operations and for the recurrent major maintenance of tracks, other required railway infrastructure, and rolling stock.
A secret you — as a taxpayer — should know: Railroad managers make a distinction between costs "above the rail" and "below the rail," the latter including tracks and all the extensive physical plant that isn't a train. Watch for flim-flam about sustainable economics: Yes, some rail passenger systems in this world make money "above the rail." But passenger trains everywhere run perpetually and deeply in the red — and no matter how many passengers they carry — when all "below the rail" recurring costs are also included.
Big Fact No. 2: High-speed trains are least in the red (i.e., still unprofitable as described above) when intercity distances are short and population densities are high along most of the route. Which is the case in Japan and in Europe, but not so in nearly all of California.
In the U.S., distances are comparatively much longer — dramatically increasing the costs of building and maintaining a rail line. And — a critical factor — population densities are high in only a very few areas along feasible rail routes, especially in California's Central Valley. Oh, someone says, the Chinese are building high-speed rail systems spanning very long distances. Yes, and the capital costs are far beyond anything the U.S. in its wildest dreams could possibly finance, either privately or publicly.
In California, it's a question of sustainability. There will be deficits in perpetuity for high-speed trains after a system is built. Long experience shows that ticket prices high enough to cover all the trains' costs over time result in too few passengers.
Building such a system is daunting, too.
Big Fact No. 3: In California, for the safety of trains and passengers, high-speed rail routes cannot be located in our freeway medians or near freight-rail tracks. High-speed trains need extremely gentle curves, far gentler curves than 65-mph freeways routinely have. Moreover, operating 125 to 180 mile-per-hour trains on tracks that also carry 50-75 mph freight trains is a non-starter. Even locating high-speed rail tracks alongside freight-rail tracks is a big safety risk, in case of derailments on either the freight or the high-speed tracks.
And think of the safety of cars crossing a high-speed rail line. Collisions of 150-mile-an-hour trains with automobiles would be disastrous. Level crossings can't be tolerated; tracks and every intersecting road must be vertically separated.
So, a high-speed train requires its own dedicated right-of-way and laser-aligned rails. And it requires a route that is not close to either Highway 99 or the Union Pacific tracks. Which ranchers and farmers in the south Valley have suddenly found out — when official-looking trespassers have been seen putting rail-line survey stakes in private ground.
Big Fact No. 4: And that brings up the true "900-pound gorilla" in the corner of the room: land acquisition and condemnation. No one, let alone the California High-Speed Rail Authority, knows with any certainty what all the necessary acquisition costs of extensive private lands will be.
Only after land acquisition is done, stage by stage, can construction begin, stage by stage. The capital costs of construction are anywhere from $40 million to $150 million for each mile (the latter figure = $2,367 per inch), depending on topography, needed viaducts, bridges, etc. The High-Speed Rail Authority has tried hard to estimate the construction costs, but expect big overruns.
Is there a transportation alternative for California's growth in the next couple of decades? All forms of travel everywhere in the U.S. and in the world — whether by highway, airway, or passenger train — require significant funding from the public. But the great myth that passenger trains can make money seems never to die.
Doing a little math discloses that in the Central Valley, widening Hwy 99 and I-5 where feasible on their long rural stretches — and investing in improvements to the existing Caltrain system — would be hugely more cost-effective solutions for our state's intercity transportation challenges for at least the next two decades. After that, and when government budgets are better, let's indeed think about high-speed rail.
But we flatly can't afford it now. It's a great idea whose time is yet to come.
