China Ships Dangerous Food to USA
Labeled 'Organic' Contaminated food from China now entering the U.S.
10-30-16. NaturalNews -- The Chinese food production industry is one of the world's least-regulated and most corrupt, as has repeatedly been proven time and again. Now, it appears, there is no trusting anything that comes from China marked "organic."
Farmers in China use water that is replete with heavy metals and water used for irrigation also contains organic and inorganic substances and pollutants. Chinese "organic" food is so contaminated that a person could get ill just by handling some of it. Chinese farmers have said there is no available water for crops except dirty water; example:

Zacharias, father of John the Baptist, Luke 1:11-18... Mary, Mother of Jesus, Luke 1:26-31... Joseph, Husband of Mary, Matthew 1:20-24, 2-13
✝ 6-2-20, In appx 530 BC the Lord God of Israel chose the Persian [aka Iran] King Cyrus to protect and help the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Who would come back and rebuild Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem where now - since 688 AD - a Muslim mosque sits. Mark 13:14; Isaiah 45:4-6, 9, 12-13. World Without End. Ephesians 3:20-21

✝ 5-27-20, See Romans 13:11; James 5:8; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor 15:51-52, Rev 11:15 Scripture tells us that "The coming of the Lord is at hand;" but thousands of years have passed without the Lord's coming. We must remember that one thousand years are like one day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). The rapture will happen without warning at any time and believers in the Lord Jesus must be ready at all time. Certain current events cause us to believe we are near the Lord's trumpet call and that the rapture of the church is 'at hand.
✝ 5-22-20, Interesting that the Lord □ Jesus said at the 'LAST SUPPER' He'd drink wine with the Apostles again in His Father's kingdom. Another confirmation & validation of scripture & teaching that we will be with Him in glory. Hallelujah! Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34
utah333 ✝ 5-19-20, No other Disciple of Christ had so many visions & revelations as the Apostle Paul & he isn't generous with his descriptions. So his report - when he was translated [aka raptured] - is sparse. Some believe it happened when he was left for dead after he was stoned at Lystra. [Acts 14:19] Whenever it happened it's encouraging to add his name to the list of the other five: Enoch, Elijah, Philip, John and Jesus. Next it'll be the 'Church.' More here https://bit.ly/3bIwuI1
✝ 5-18-20, In 1634 AD Rembrandt's 'DOUBTING THOMAS' painting depicts the fact that disciple Thomas did not touch the risen Lord Jesus. Shame and shock is what's displayed when he exclaimed, 'MY LORD AND MY GOD!' And the admonition of Christ that those who've not seen still believe are blessed. John 20:24-29
✝ 5-17-20, During these stressful times as the world struggles to understand believing they can fight against a virus; when the economy is falling everywhere ... I feel such pity for those who don't know the Lord □ Jesus. Surely they are most fearful. The Lord said if you only have faith as small as a tiny mustard seed nothing shall be impossible. Luke 13:3; Ma
✝ 5-9-20, The Lord □Jesus had much to say about His return & the conditions of the earth in the end times. It's indisputable; He gave a laundry list of what it'll be like. Many think we're in it now with the horrors caused by the govt shutdown over the Covid virus. Even so, Come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20; Luke 21:25-28, 36
✝ 5-8-20, □ Jesus is the Light of the world. His born again disciples carry His Light. We are hated as He was hated because evil mankind loves wickedness and darkness. Example: Christian churches closed for Easter during covid scare; but Muslim mosques aren't – New York giving them 500K free meals for Ramadan. Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13; John 3:19, 9:5; Galatians 2:20
✝ 5-7-20, Sins □ Jesus Harshly Condemns; He said, "God knows our hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. V9 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." [Pride] Luke 16:15, 18:9-14; Hebrews 1:8-9
✝ 4-30-20, When the Lord □ Jesus Mother told her son that at the Cana wedding celebration there was no wine - I wonder if the Lord did little miracles around the house so Mary knew of His abilities expecting Him to quickly whip up some good wine. And He did! The Lord's first miracle on earth water into wine. John 2:1-11
✝ 4-29-20, We learn the importance of loving God from Psalm 91 where Moses is blessed by God Who said: 'v9 Because thou hast made the Lord... the most High, thy habitation; v14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore, l will deliver him & set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me & I will deliver him ... & shew him My salvation." Psalm 90:1, 91-14
✝ 4-28-20, The Lord □ Jesus, in the book of Matthew, lists what's called the "Beatitudes." He lists the items in our lives in His 'Sermon on the Mount' that examine our values, vision & habits to wholehearted obedience to God. We seek His forgiveness & acceptance for eternal life with Him; this is the good news 'Gospel.' John 14:6; Matthew 5:1-48, 6:1-34, 7:1-28.
✝ 4-27-20, In the days when □ Jesus walked the earth and healed all who came to Him ... imagine the horror of those who He healed who believed He was the Son of God as they may have watched their Savior brutalized and killed. Hopefully they were nearby 3 days later!! Hallelujah. Mark 16:1-20; John 20:1-31
✝ 4-26-20, Seeing this wonderful painting of King Jesus with this beautiful child makes me think of all the innocent children who are now with Him in Heaven as their lives were brutally taken in abortion before they were officially 'born.' I imagine those millions of babies will be in the Lord's army when He returns in power and glory. Hallelujah! Revelation 19:11, 14
✝ 4-22-20, Considering the harsh punishment God meted out in the Old Testament for blasphemy - why do people in the modern world now think it's perfectly permissible to disobey God's commandment #3 & blaspheme [deliberately & repeatedly] HIS HOLY NAME?? God will not be mocked [Galatians 6:7] there is judgment coming someday; He has a record book, keys to death & Hell. Revelation 1:17-20
✝ 4-14-20, Based on the behaviors of some church goers; apparently they think God is like an old lenient Grandpa winking at deliberate unrepentant sin. Even sins that are done repeatedly with no remorse. Because the Lord God loves us so much, He generously warns us ... He has a book where names of forgiven sinners are recorded. Almighty God demands us to honor and obey Him. Revelation 1:18, 3:5, 20:1; Malachi 3:16 □□

I want to add a JPanel (called panel) to the mother object, in this case another JPanel. On 'panel' there should be a list of some CheckBoxes, and since their number is not constant, I want to have a possibility to scroll down the 'panel' to see them all if there are more of them. So, I wanted to add 'panel' to a JScrollPane scrollPane, but it does not work. Do you know what have I done wrong?
JPanel panel; JScrollPane scrollPane; //this is in the constructor of the mother object, JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder()); panel.setBounds(0,0,415,420); panel.setBackground(new Color(255,255,255)); scrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel); add(scrollPane, 0, 40, 415, 400); //method add defined in the mother object public void add(Component c, int x, int y, int sX, int sY) { add(c); c.setBounds(x,y,sX,sY); }
In the final program, the scrollPane appears on the mother JPanel, but without any sign of the 'panel'. I tried to add some other object to 'panel' (test JLabels and JButtons), but it was still the same - no 'panel' clipped to the scrollPane.
Thank you very much for your response.

8 Easily Avoidable Causes of Business Debt
As an emerging entrepreneur, it is very easy to quickly accumulate debts that are substantial enough to kill your burgeoning business before it even gets off the ground. But it does not have to be that way. Take the time to examine your business workflow and you will likely discover a number of extraneous costs that can be eliminated to improve the health of your bottom line.
Stock Price – Return & Intrinsic Value Based on Earnings Analyzer
This online calculator evaluates potential investments by computing the present value of a stock's future earnings. A stock's intrinsic value is the present value of its future earnings and can be used to determine if a stock is over or under-valued.
Using this tool I analyzed GOOG using growth rates of 20,18, and 15 (which I believe are fairly conservative) and got an intrinsic value of $606. At $438 GOOG is probably a good buy.

We also carry a full line of Garter Belts, Lingerie, Body stockings, Corsets, Girdles, Shapewear, Costumes, and much, much more.
Did You Know This About Hosiery?
Hosiery is an industry that includes articles of tight fitting material known as stockings, socks and tights collectively. Popular since the 1950-60's, hosiery has always enhanced the look of women's legs with smoothness and a slight shine, making them sexier looking than bare legs. The hosiery business has changed to where many styles are meant to be seen and can actually change the appearance of legs, such as tights, pantyhose and stockings. We at StockingStore supply the latest fashions in hosiery and welcome any and all women looking for a sexy way to spice things up. In our descriptions of stockings, we use the term "Denier" relating to the weight of fineness of the yarn, which in turn relates to the sheerness of the hosiery. The finer the yarn, the lower the denier number. A 30-denier is considered opaque, 20-denier is sheer, 15-denier is ultra sheer, and 10-denier or less is the very sheerest. If you get stuck on any other hosiery terminology you can use our complete "Stocking Glossary".
We Help You Save!
Not only does StockingStore offer high quality hosiery and stockings at reduced prices, we also offer additional scaling discounts based on the quantity you order! Combined with our already reasonable shipping prices, we are focused on keeping you a happy and satisfied customer. Our savings are based on the total of the merchandise in your order.

Opinion: Rand Paul's mixed message
Sen. Rand Paul's tea-party response to the State of the Union was a mixed bag. At its best, it reflected real movement on the right in favor of immigration reform; at its worst, it was just plain weird.
The Kentucky Republican was least convincing Tuesday night on the topic for which he is best known. He promised to balance the budget in five years, but what he offered was not promising. Consider this passage:
"It is time for a new bipartisan consensus. It is time Democrats admit that not every dollar spent on domestic programs is sacred. And it is time Republicans realize that military spending is not immune to waste and fraud. Where would we cut spending? Well, we could start with ending all foreign aid to countries that are burning our flag and chanting death to America. . . . Not only should the sequester stand, many pundits say the sequester really needs to be at least $4 trillion to avoid another downgrade of America's credit rating. Both parties will have to agree to cut, or we will never fix our fiscal mess."
Surely Paul knows that foreign aid is a microscopic part of the federal budget and that Republicans accepted significant cuts in the military -- $487 billion over 10 years -- before sequestration. To pretend that cutting foreign aid and national security spending will solve our problems is absurd and all too reminiscent of the phony frugality he complains about.
Paul reverted to reality-based governance when it came to immigration reform, saying: "We must be the party that sees immigrants as assets, not liabilities. We must be the party that says, 'If you want to work, if you want to be an American, we welcome you.' " Great. Now he should tell us if he supports the Gang of Eight plan or something else (and what that something else is).
He was on terra firma with a plea for school choice, putting special emphasis on "poor children in a crumbling system of hopelessness."
But Paul also seemed to hint at another agenda, saying he would insist on trial by jury and search-and-seizure protection. Hmm. We have those things, right? And he said he objects to "secret lists" of Americans to be killed "without trial." Does he think we can't kill an American-turned-jihadist on the battlefield?
Some of what Paul says is simplistic to the point of being misleading; some of it is daft; and some of it is important (albeit vague). If he wants to build credibility, he will have to start spelling out what he means. It is relatively easy to be a gadfly in the Senate. It is much harder to master detail, present credible legislation and accomplish aims.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart: Trust Is Still A Major Issue
Just when we thought Rob and Kristen couldn't be happier in their relationship, they seem to have hit another rough patch. A relationship expert tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that trust is still a huge problem in the couple's relationship, but there is hope that they can resolve their issues.
After Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson, the pair broke up for a short period, but ultimately reconciled. Although their relationship has been going well, it seems there are still some issues. Relationship expert Dr. Phil Dembo tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he isn't surprised that Rob and Kristen's relationship is on the rocks, because Rob still doesn't trust Kristen.
Kristen Stewart's Affair Caused Major Problems: Relationship Changed
"When there is a betrayal in a relationship, everything changes. The love may be there, as it apparently is between Rob and Kristen (which brought them back together), but the trust has been broken," explains Dr. Dembo.
Dr. Dembo adds, "Love may be the engine that drives a relationship, but trust are your tires that keep it a smooth ride. The Rob/Kristen relationship has experienced a flat tire, and Rob doesn't trust that the 'patchwork' may be strong enough not to have another blow out."
How Can Kristen Save The Relationship?
Dr. Dembo has advice for how Kristen can repair her relationship with Rob. "Don't settle on patching the tire, and find a way to install a brand new set of really strong tires to roll smoothly on," he explains. "In other words, build trust and attend to it with the level of effort and energy that you haven't before."
"Its not enough to say I am sorry," advises Dr. Dembo. "Kristen needs to show the trust, and talk about how the affair has affected Rob and their relationship. To truly mend, we must take ownership of what we have done and who we plan to be moving forward."
On a sad note, Dr. Dembo says, "Most relationships with this kind of public betrayal have difficulty regaining its old swagger, and are at risk of not surviving the original breach of trust."
Can Rob & Kristen's Relationship Survive Longterm?
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers, should Rob just get over the cheating scandal and forgive Kristen once and for all? Has Kristen done the best she can to prove her love and devotion?

Ever since Oreo took over Twitter feeds during a power outage at last year's Super Bowl, brands have stepped up their use of social media during major television events with the hopes of scoring a similar hit with a relevant, real-time message that people can't help sharing with their friends.
In the ensuing year, brands have flooded social media with inane messages on events ranging from Pearl Harbor Day to the Golden Globe Awards.
But for all of the negative press that has befallen brands like Home Depot and JPMorgan for their social media slip-ups, the sheer mass of people who will using Facebook and Twitter during the Super Bowl will make so-called "real-time marketing" too good an opportunity to pass up once the Seahawks and Broncos kick things off tonight in Super Bowl XLVIII.
"It's a relatively low-risk and relatively low-cost initiative — especially compared to paying millions for a Super Bowl spot — with incredibly high return-on-investment potential," said Huge community manager Andrew Cunningham, who works on social media accounts for brands like Cap'n Crunch.
One brand hoping to make a splash during this year's game is Denny's. In recent months, the national diner chain has built a reputation for enthusiastic, real-time goofballery by tweeting in a voice that could be described as "your pop-culture savvy friend who is also completely obsessed with breakfast food."
If it's any consolation Auburn fans, there are 47 chances to win on the way home. #BCSChampionship #BCS pic.twitter.com/2HZbH3kpsY
— Denny's (@DennysDiner) January 7, 2014
According to Erwin Penland director of digital strategy Kevin Purcer, whose firm oversees Denny's social media accounts, "America's Diner" will have a team of 10 people brainstorming and posting messages on social media during the Super Bowl.
This will include a community manager well-versed in the Denny's brand voice, a brand strategist and several graphic designers, creative directors, and writers who will be tasked with brainstorming ideas relevant to what's happening during the game.
A representative from Denny's will also be available during the game in the event Purcer's team wants to get approval for something out of the ordinary.
Though the team already has some general ideas about what Denny's might say during the game, it won't have much in the way of finished posts ready prior to kickoff.
"We prefer to keep it a little bit more loose and kind of go from there," Purcer said. "It's about it keeping it organic, and the moment sometimes can make it that much better. We'll have preconceived ideas of what we might do, but almost all of it is not pre-produced."
Though Denny's doesn't have a limit on how often the brand will tweet during the game, the team will be careful to make sure it is adding to the Super Bowl conversation rather than hijacking it.
With consumers increasingly wary of how brands insert themselves into the social media discussion, Purcer stressed the importance of creating social media content that is relevant to the conversation and of the same quality as the jokes, GIFs, and photoshops being made by individuals watching the game.
"A lot of people don't want brands in this conversation, so I think you need to earn the right to be there by not shilling your product at them," Purcer said. "It's about understanding and relating to your audience, and just having a fun conversation with them. From doing that, you gain affinity and people get passionate about the brand."

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The massive hit from 1969, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, is often cited as a "Western that people love, who usually don't like Westerns." But it also often makes "all-time most overrated" lists, especially from folks who do like Westerns. That contradiction may be because the film is completely carried by the charisma of its two superstars, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Also it's closer in spirit to a light comedy or even the "outlaw reexamination" genre started by Bonnie and Clyde than the landmark Westerns of its era that Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone were directing at the same time. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is an incredibly simple tale, and regardless of its place on the Western checklist it's perfect entertainment.
The script seems to have very little dialogue and often the same lines are repeated, "You keep thinking, Butch," which is ironic since the script by William Goldman (Marathon Man, All The President's Men) has been hailed for its perfect three-act structure (pre-film school era Goldman wrote a number of books about screenwriting and the business which also helped elevate his status as a quintessential writer). Act One is an introduction to Butch (Newman) and Sundance (Redford), two charming but frustrated bank robbers who are now hitting trains. Butch is the brains and Sundance the gunman. They also share a woman, schoolteacher Etta Place (the mumbly Katharine Ross of The Graduate), Sundance is her lover, while Butch flirts but is more the big brother. Act Two is one long chase as a hardcore posse follows Butch and Sundance over miles of picturesque Western plains (shot by the legendary cameraman Conrad L. Hall), ending famously with the two jumping off a cliff into a raging river. Act Three has the heroes and Etta traveling to Bolivia where they work as muscle for a paymaster (Strother Martin) and culture clashes impede their bank robbing career, finally ending with a shoot out with the Bolivian army.Continue Reading
The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming
Written by William Rose, who was also responsible for the loud, brash and big It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World a couple years earlier (as well as the overrated Guess Who's Coming to Dinner), The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming is also a big ensemble comedy, but much better executed and focused than his previous script, with more heart and less mean-spiritedness. It also helps that it has a very able director at the helm, the nearly forgotten Norman Jewison, whose socially-conscious films still hold up (In The Heat of The Night, A Soldier's Story, The Hurricane; The Russians Are Coming could also be considered part of that group). He had a number of films which were popular and respected in their day (The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, Fiddler on the Roof, Agnes of God, Moonstruck) and some fascinating curios (Jesus Christ Superstar, Rollerball and F.I.S.T.). He falls into that group of directors who emerged in the sixties like Arthur Penn, George Roy Hill, John Boorman and John Schlesinger who had a lot of acclaim and made some classics, but never became brand names like Polanski and Coppola, or even to a lesser extent Mike Nichols and Sydney Pollack. Jewison has as many solid films as his peers, though looking back none reach that same level of transcendence as a Bonnie and Clyde, Midnight Cowboy or Deliverance. For my money, though many would disagree, The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming is his film that holds up best today.
Based on a novel by Nathaniel Benchley (whose son Peter wrote the novel Jaws), set in a little New England beachy island community (very similar looking to that one in Jaws, though surprisingly actually shot in Northern California), where a Russian submarine gets stuck in a sandbar, leading to havoc in the town. This was a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, so this was the height of cold-war hysteria (think Dr. Strangelove), so even just having likable Russian characters was enough to make this film subversive to some. The film has dozens of characters, with top character actors of the day in peak form.Continue Reading

In this city, where nightlife is not just fun but a major revenue-generator and a critical element of what makes New York the greatest city in the world, David Rabin and his partners are guys in the know. As a proprietor of Jimmy at The James Hotel, the Lambs Club restaurant, and the newly reopened Double Seven nightclub, Rabin truly knows the formula for a good night out. He focuses on detail and tries to prevent that half-smile lost look amongst guests in overcrowded, decibel-blasting venues that we're all too familiar with. Double Seven is "sexy" and "sophisticated," and we got an inside look at the newly re-opened Meatpacking spot and even found out what other NYC nightlife destinations Rabin is a fan of outside of his own places.
You just relaunched Double Seven after a three-year break. Did you see a clear opening for a place that reflects "nightlife for grown-ups" as you recently mentioned in the New York Post?
I think we had a pretty good handle on that niche for our area back in 2005 to 2007 during our original run before the building was sold. There certainly are other people who have created venues looking to meet this kind of demand, so all we can do is do what we do best and hope that our clientele "finds us" again. I can say, however, that if I had a quarter for every person who has stopped me when I've been out the last three years and asked "When is Double Seven reopening?" I would have had enough money to not re-open Double Seven.
What are some of the details and touches at Double Seven that support this concept of an adult place to have a good time?
I think the most crucial aspect is the attention to acoustics. It's not an after-thought for us. We want to play really cool "head-bopping" music but without requiring people to yell to be heard or to strain to hear and have to make that fake smiley face like "That's funny!" when they really haven't heard a word of the conversation. Some of it is structural, some of it is picking the right DJs and monitoring their music selections. Some of it is just making sure everyone on the staff understands what we're trying to create, then adding in Sasha's amazing cocktails paired with a chocolate from Debauve & Gallais, and I think we've given people the makings for a special place to hang out.
You are also a partner at Jimmy at the James Hotel and Lambs Club. How do your partners' aggregate experiences in both nightlife and hospitality categories inform your approaches to each place? Is there a central ethos to your portfolio of places?
I think attention to customers and service are what bring people back to any spot. At Jimmy, we've tried to create a relaxed and chill atmosphere, a real respite from the grind of the city--it's really tranquil and beautiful up there to sit and have a drink and look at the skyline. At The Lambs Club, we've created a very adult but not "stiff" in any way vibe, great for business lunch or drinks, and perfect for the after-theater crowd. Double Seven is meant to be that kind of sophisticated, sexy environment that envelops you from the noise and chaos of Manhattan. All these places are influenced by all of our own experiences, both in our own places over the years, but also by the great places other operators have created that we've loved and continue to love.
How do you want your guests to come away feeling from an evening at Double Seven, Jimmy and Lambs Club?
What would our viewers and readers think would be an unexpected thing to know about your and/or your partners?
I've known Will Regan since we were in the same dorm as freshman at Tufts, then he went to Wall Street and I went to law school and practiced law. We made a pact over tequila shots at Nell's when we were 29 to give the restaurant/nightlife business a shot with our first place, Rex, and we still work together on Double Seven.
What's your favorite late-night bite?
Honestly, the grilled cheese or pigs-in-a-blanket at Double Seven (we now serve small bites) or a snack at The Dutch when I roll out of Jimmy.
What are your favorite late-night pairings?
Poker chips and Coke Zero
Where do you like to hang out nightlife-wise, outside of your own places?
In my fantasy life, the one in which I'm not running to visit three venues nightly, I would go to Miss Lily's for a drink, go say hi to Damion Luaiye at Rose Bar or Joey Jalleo at Boom Boom Room or hide away at my all-time favorite, Milk and Honey
What is your favorite thing between two buns?
Grey's Papaya, corner of 72nd and Broadwayz
A look inside the Lambs Club dining room
A look inside Jimmy at the James Hotel

Those jonesing for new Apple products may not have long to wait -- apparently April may bring a new generation iPad and a new iPad mini, with an iPhone 5S coming in August.
The new Apple products are currently being rushed to production, according to iMore using unnamed sources. The iPhone 5S will have a better camera in the same iPhone 5 slimmer casing. Not a huge change, but the S series isn't meant to reinvent the iPhone only augment it.
As for the April launch of the next iPads, there doesn't seem to be much change, either, although there is a suspected new spec to make them more attractive than current models. However, don't expect retina display on the mini, the report warns.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Now that Apple's stock has dropped a little, it's time for Apple to come out with a new product to goose its stock price. While the new iPhone 5S or new iPads seem a little lackluster, the event will still garner a media circus and much fanfare -- all things that will help Apple's brand and stock price.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Up, up, and... : Nobody flies over the swing-set
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. My visiting aunt became concerned that the kids on the swing-set were going too high and might swing all the way around... like she did as a kid. We don't believe her story. She insists she did a complete 360 around the top bar. Would it be possible for a kid to gain the momentum to do that? –R. L. Stevenson
The real deal-breaker is that she would be subjected to quite high centripetal forces– about 6 G's if going fast enough to make it all the way around. An aircraft pilot will black out when exposed to 4-5 G's. So, unless the person relaying the story had both 1) a catapult to propel her at 10 meters/second and 2) a NASA issued anti-gravity suit to prevent blackouts, "I would conclude that it is not something that really happened."
Quite possibly she reached a dizzying height, allows LaVan, lost her grip and fell off the swing backwards, making it seem like she went all the way around.
Q. Using every number from 1-16, construct a 4-by-4 "magic square" where all rows add up to 34 horizontally, vertically and diagonally. BTW, a famous artist depicted this particular magic square in a 1514 etching. –Sudoku
Fascinatingly, the two central numbers of the bottom row read 1514, the year Durer did the etching. In addition to rows and diagonals, the four corner numbers and the four central numbers sum to 34. Rounding out the marvels here, even the sum of each of the four quadrants is 34 (e.g., 16 + 3 + 5 + 10 = 34), making it a "gnomon magic square," notes Mathworld.wolfram.com.
Q. Should a risk of 1 on the Torino scale cause us Earthlings the night sweats? However you answer, you might want to jot down 2029 as one of those pay-attention dates. –Mr. Spock
Which brings us to 2029 and asteroid Apophis, 300-400 meters across, enough to take out a large city. This object was spotted in 2004, with NASA giving it a scary 4 on the Torino scale (greater than 1 chance in 50 of hitting Earth). Recalculations since suggest it will be a near miss instead at about 25,000 km from Earth's surface. But this close call will likely change Apophis' course, maybe tugging it to swing back around for a possible Earth hit in 2036, rating a 1 on the Torino scale.
One problem is scientists don't know enough about asteroids. Are they mostly solid, riddled with voids, or made of loose rubble? If we try to blow one up Hollywood-style, what happens? Maybe it would be better to send a probe to spray paint it white, causing greater force from solar radiation to gently push it off course, suggests the magazine.
"The 2029 approach is the closest a moderately large asteroid is likely to come during the next century," says Harvard astronomer Brian Marsden, "and regarding the possible hit in 2036, most likely we'll know by 2013 that this one too will be a clear miss."
Q. It was another one of those days: The fat guy didn't eat all that much but expended barely 1/7th horsepower as a "couch potato" in front of the TV. The other guy, heavier than the first, consumed plenty for the day– three orange juices, five eggs over easy, eight ounces of hash browns, a big rib-eye breakfast steak, two candy bars for morning snack, a couple of helpings of lasagna, two coleslaws, six buttered rolls, two quarts of Gatorade, three apples, three pork chops, two baked potatoes with cheese sauce, three bananas, a big ice-cream sundae, two slices of peach pie, and a dish of low-fat yogurt sprinkled with artificial sweetener for a midnight snack, totaling 10,000 calories. Yet the first guy added weight while the second added not an ounce. Guess how. –J. Craig
But this doesn't factor in the body shifting into higher gear metabolically, so the burn-off continues well after the mechanical work stops. In addition, there's the grunting standoff push-on-push where nothing seems to move mechanically, but in fact the players' muscles contract and relax and do ample force-through-distance work. Lots of food for thought.

Gay Couples Find Marriage Is a Mixed Bag
Nearly two-thirds of the weddings have been lesbian marriages, including one between two women named Melissa McCarthy. And while nearly half of straight people marrying are under 30, more same-sex married couples of both sexes are older nearly a third are in their 40s.
Its been a mixed bag, said Jacob Venter, a 44-year-old child psychiatrist
BOSTON Four years after Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay couples to marry, there have been blissful unions, painful divorces and everything in between. Some same-sex couples say being married has made a big difference, and some say it has made no difference at all. There are devoted couples who have decided marriage is not for them, couples whose lawyers or accountants advised them against marrying, snip
There are devoted couples who have decided marriage is not for them, couples whose lawyers or accountants advised them against marrying, and couples in which one partner wants to marry but the other does not.
But as same-sex marriage begins in California, Massachusettss experience may offer hints of what is to come. For example, after an initial euphoric rush to the altar, the number of gay weddings here fell sharply and has declined each year since. Of the more than 10,500 same-sex couples married here since May 17, 2004, 6,121 wed in the first six months. There were 2,060 weddings in 2005; 1,442 in 2006; and 867 in the first eight months of 2007, the most recent data show.
Gay men and lesbians say the early wave of weddings reflected pent-up demand from longstanding couples. The subsequent numbers indicate that marriage isnt for everybody, said Mary L. Bonauto, a lawyer who argued the case that led to same-sex marriage being legalized here. And, Ms. Bonauto said, theres only so many gay people in Massachusetts.
The Census Bureau recorded 23,655 same-sex households in Massachusetts in 2006.
Lawyers say same-sex couples are more likely to draw up prenuptial agreements than straight couples are.
For some, the marriage learning curve is steep.
Its been a mixed bag, said Jacob Venter, a 44-year-old child psychiatrist who married Billy Boney, a 36-year-old hairdresser, a month after it became legal to do so. They have disagreements over money, the in-laws and whether to adopt children or have their own.
Nothing turns out the way you imagine, Mr. Venter said. There are no role models for gay marriage.
Unlike California, Massachusetts has a residency requirement for marriage. Some couples have moved here to marry, including Lisa Forest and Ann Marie Willer, who came from Texas.
Without having that legal recognition, we felt very vulnerable, Ms. Forest said. We wanted the psychological security of knowing that were protected if one of us were to become sick, that we would be able to transfer our assets, at least on the state level, without incurring taxes, that well be able to stay together if were old and not able to care for ourselves.
For many, the biggest advantages are less quantifiable.
There are no role models for gay marriage, said Jacob Venter of Boston, right, with his husband of four years, Billy Boney.
Massachusetts DID NOT allow gay couples to marry! Black robed criminals decided that same sex individuals could be called "married". Using the same logic and power the same court could decide the moon is made of green cheese!
Marriage is tough. It's even tougher when you're screwed up in the head.
Oh well, mincing and prancing can be difficult
I always wondered with gay women how they chose which one's on top. I guess now the sale of strap on dildo's is very profitable???? :DIncrease the peace

This really supports all my earlier claims. Gay marriage will have absolutely no effect on straight marriage.
Or is a fraction of ~2% of the population who actually go through with a same sex marriage enough to single handedly bring down the entire institution of marriage and the destroy your community?

Maybe if gays cared as much about Christians as Christians do about gays the fundie-right's meltdowns might actually be justified.

I found this amusing; Jacob Venter, a 44 year old CHILD PSYCHIATRIST married Billy BONEY, a 36 year old HAIRDRESSER. Sounds like a marriage made in heaven. :eek:
whether to adopt children or have their own?? Whatever...-
In actual dollars, President Obamas $4.4 trillion in deficit spending in just three years is 37 percent higher than the previous record of $3.2 trillion (held by President George W. Bush) in deficit spending for an entire presidency. Its no small feat to demolish an 8-year record in just 3 years.
Under Obamas own projections, interest payments on the debt are on course to triple from 2010 (his first budgetary year) to 2018, climbing from $196 billion to $685 billion annually.

The captors of American journalist James Foley originally demanded a ransom of 100 million euros ($132.5 million), the chief executive of a news website he worked for told The Wall Street Journal.
Philip Balboni, the president and chief executive of GlobalPost, told the newspaper that the sum was demanded from both Foley's family and GlobalPost.
Balboni declined to discuss their reply to the demand, saying all communication was shared with appropriate government authorities, The Journal reported Thursday.
The Islamic extremist group ISIS, which controls large areas of Syria and Iraq, published a video Tuesday showing the beheading of Foley, a 40-year-old originally from New Hampshire.
A militant who appears in the video links the killing to the U.S. intervention in Iraq against ISIS, which refers to itself as the Islamic State. He says the fate of another American journalist shown in the footage, believed to be Steven Sotloff, depends on what U.S. President Barack Obama does next.
But the threat has done little to curb U.S. military operations in Iraq, with American warplanes continuing airstrikes against ISIS targets.
Calling ISIS a "cancer," Obama said Wednesday that the United States "will continue to confront this hateful terrorism and replace it with a sense of hope and civility."
U.S. officials revealed that they had tried to rescue Foley and other captives in a special military operation in Syria earlier this summer. But the special forces failed to find the hostages.
RELATED: Slain American journalist educated, taught in Chicago
'Vitriolic and filled with rage'
Messages from Foley's captors began last fall, Balboni said Wednesday.
Foley, a freelance journalist, was on assignment when he disappeared on November 22, 2012, in northwest Syria, near the border with Turkey.
"The captors never messaged a lot. There was a very limited number with a very specific purpose. … They made demands," Balboni said.
Some messages were political and some were financial.
Then last week, his family received an e-mail saying he would be killed.
"The message was vitriolic and filled with rage against the United States. It was deadly serious," Balboni said.
"Obviously, we hoped and prayed that would not be the case. … Sadly, they showed no mercy."
Foley's family, according to Balboni, responded in an e-mail, pleading for mercy and asking for more time.
They did not hear back.
The captors showed no mercy, Foley's father, John, told reporters on Wednesday, breaking down in tears.
"We beg compassion and mercy" for the other American journalist shown in the video, John Foley said. Sotloff, a contributor to Time and Foreign Policy magazines, was kidnapped at the Syria-Turkey border in 2013.
"They never hurt anybody," John Foley said. "They were trying to help. There is no reason for their slaughter."
Failed rescue attempt
The U.S. rescue attempt earlier this summer involved several dozen elite commandos from units like Delta Force and Navy SEAL Team 6 who flew in aboard helicopters, the U.S. official told CNN.
"Unfortunately, the mission was not successful because the hostages were not present at the targeted location," Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said Wednesday.
Several ISIS operatives were killed in the special operation earlier this summer that tried to rescue Foley and others, the U.S. official said. No U.S. personnel were killed, but one was slightly wounded. Fighters jets and surveillance aircraft provided overhead protection to the troops.

Business Challenge
The IT department at Banco BPI, one of Portugal's five largest financial groups, has three major objectives: fulfill customer needs, stay ahead of the competition, and keep costs down. To meet these objectives, the IT department has transformed into a bimodal organization, with one group dedicated to legacy applications and the other to new digital and mobile services. Most of the bank's production data is maintained in a mainframe IBM® Db2® database that serves both groups. Keeping the bank's five terabytes of data and 500 million daily SQL requests running reliably and at peak performance is essential to the bank's business.
BMC Solution
For more than a decade, the IT department has relied on BMC Performance for Db2® SQL to provide visibility into and control of the Db2 environment.
Business Impact
The bank is increasingly exploiting the multifaceted capabilities of Performance for Db2 SQL to improve Db2 efficiency, speed response, and reduce mainframe costs.
- By eliminating SQL issues, IT is shrinking the time it takes to run batch jobs—from 90 minutes to less than 30 minutes in some cases.
- By maximizing Db2 database operation efficiency, IT maximizes online transaction speed, cutting response times by up to 50%.
- Maintaining detailed data on SQL queries facilitates audits and reduces audit preparation time.
- By tuning SQL of new applications in the QA environment, IT ensures optimum performance in the production environment.
"With BMC Performance for Db2, we're able to meet our objectives. We keep our customers happy and we can deliver services in a way that's competitive with the largest banks, all while keeping our costs down."— Armando Arranja, Database Administrator, Banco BPI

How fiber, fruit, and fitness can help
Worried about developing colorectal cancer, one of the most common cancers in men and women? Stick to these 10 habits to keep your colon healthy:
- Boost calcium. Calcium may reduce the risk of colon cancer. Get it from almonds, low-fat milk, dark-green veggies, cottage cheese and yogurt. Men should limit calcium to 1,500 mg a day, as too much calcium may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
- Eat more fruits and veggies. They're good sources of fiber, which adds bulk to the waste that moves through your intestines.
- Seek a bit of sun. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. It comes mainly from sunlight (10 minutes a day is all you need), but can also be found in salmon, mackerel, fortified milk and eggs.
- "B" smart. Folic acid, an essential B vitamin, may reduce your risk of colon cancer. Lentils, collard greens, chickpeas, asparagus, broccoli, peas, papaya and oranges are good sources.
- Butt out. Smoking can cause colorectal cancer, so if you smoke, quit.
- Get slim. Obesity raises the risk of colon cancer in both men and women. If you're overweight, ask your healthcare provider about a weight-loss plan that will work for you.
- Cut back on beef. Eating too much red or processed meat has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer, so choose chicken instead.
- Ease up on alcohol. Drinking too much (more than one drink a day for women; two for men) can cause colon problems, so if you drink, do so in moderation.
- Stay active. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends 30 minutes of physical activity at least five days a week. It may reduce your risk of colon cancer.
- Get screened. The ACS recommends that all men and women get screened for colon cancer at age 50. Colonoscopy is the gold standard when it comes to colon cancer screening. Your doctor looks inside your large intestine using a tiny camera that's attached to a long, thin tube. Schedule your appointment now—people who get screened regularly greatly reduce their risk of colorectal cancer.

There's no getting around the fact that Jason Momoa is all kinds of man-pretty, but our first look at him as the new Conan the Barbarian was a bit underwhelming. Now, however, we've got a photo of the man in action and it's just the kind of sword-swinging good times you'd hope for.
The photo of Momoa comes from Conan the Movie Blog, which has been chronicling the production since February 2009. Marcus Nispel ("Friday the 13th") is directing from a script by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, the guys who were recently hired to write a screenplay for Marvel's "Dr. Strange" movies.
The new film tells "the tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The cast includes Ron Perlman as Conan's dad Corin; and Stephen Lang (the heavy in "Avatar") as Khalar Zym, the powerful warlord upon whom Conan vows revenge, and Rachel Nichols ("Star Trek) as Tamara, the princess who joins forces with Conan.
It all sounds so delightfully stupid. "Conan" will be here sometime next year.

LINDEN, N.J. (AP) Santonio Holmes has been off his feet and away from the football field for a few months.
It will be at least April before the New York Jets wide receiver can run again as he heals from the serious foot injury that ended his season in September.
``I mean, I accepted it once it happened,'' Holmes said Monday night at a charity event, speaking publicly for the first time since he was hurt. ``Football season was over, so I just expanded my mind by reading more and spending more time with my kids, being more supportive.''
Holmes is still in a bulky walking boot and will have surgery in February to remove the metal plate that was inserted to help repair his left foot, which he injured on Sept. 30. He said doctors told him he will likely be able to start running in April, but is uncertain if he'll be ready for the start of training camp next summer.
``We have a while to go yet,'' he said.
The wide receiver was hosting an event through his III & Long Foundation at Jersey Lanes bowling alley to support families and children suffering from sickle cell anemia, including his son Santonio III. A handful of his Jets teammates, including linebacker Bart Scott and running backs Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight, were expected to attend.
Holmes has been home in Florida since having surgery in October and returned to the team's facility in Florham Park for the first time last Friday - in time to be included in the Jets' team photo. Holmes said the long layoff has made him miss his teammates and the game.
``It puts you in a mind-frame of relaxation, but at the same time, it's a recovery process that you go through,'' he said. ``Mentally, it kind of brings you down at times because you can't be active. It's been over 20 years that I've been playing this sport and it's the first time I've suffered a significant injury where I can't play and continue the season.''
Holmes went down on the first play of the fourth quarter of the Jets' 34-0 loss to San Francisco after catching a short pass, which he fumbled as he tossed the ball away, with Carlos Rogers returning it 51 yards for a touchdown. It came a week after the Jets lost cornerback Darrelle Revis to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, leaving New York without its two biggest playmakers.
``I knew the minute I didn't get off the ground that my season was over,'' Holmes said.
He has stayed in touch every week with coach Rex Ryan, keeping up with the team through phone calls and text messages as it struggles to try to keep its playoff hopes alive. The wide receiver, however, stayed away from commenting on the Jets' uncertain quarterback situation. Ryan said he is undecided on whether Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow or Greg McElroy will start Sunday at Jacksonville.
``If I get involved with that, I'm going to be the talk of the world,'' Holmes said, laughing. ``I'll stay on the IR list and keep it moving.''

A summer reading list at a Charleston, South Carolina high school has sparked controversy because it contained two books that deal with racism and police brutality. Freshmen who are enrolled in an English 1 College Prep course at Wando High School in the fall were given a list of four books and asked to choose one to read over their summer vacation.
The two books were All American Boys and The Hate U Give. All American Boys was written by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely and compares the lives of two teens, one black and one white, as they "grapple with the repercussions of a single violent act that leaves their school, their community, and, ultimately, the country bitterly divided by racial tension."
The Hate U Give was written by Angie Thomas and tells the story of a teenage girl who watched her childhood friend get shot and killed by a police officer.
President of the Fraternal Order of Police Tri-County Lodge #3, John Blackmon told WCDB that the books can put a "distrust of police" in the heads of the young, impressionable students.
"Freshmen, they're at the age where their interactions with law enforcement have been very minimal. They're not driving yet, they haven't been stopped for speeding, they don't have these type of interactions. This is putting in their minds, it's almost an indoctrination of distrust of police and we've got to put a stop to that."
Blackmon said that he has"received an influx of tremendous outrage at the selections by this reading list."
Wando Principal Dr. Sherry Eppelsheimer issued a statement saying that he appreciated "their concern and input regarding this matter" and that "a Request for Reconsideration of Instructional Materials" form has been submitted."
"I understand two of the selections/choices for this summer's reading list for English 1 College Prep classes are considered controversial by some members of our community. I appreciate their concern and input regarding this matter.
A "Request for Reconsideration of Instructional Materials" form has been submitted and the school and District will follow the procedures outlined in Policy IJKAA-R in connection with the reconsideration request."

- The 18-year-old man is in police custody, regional chief inspector Timo Leppälä says
- Police responded to reports of shooting in front of a restaurant in the early hours
- No information has been given about the motive for the shootings
An 18-year-old man was arrested early Saturday in Finland over a shooting spree that left two people dead and eight wounded, police told CNN's Finnish affiliate MTV3.
Regional chief inspector Timo Leppälä told the channel the police were alerted to a shooting incident in front of a restaurant on Uusimaa Street shortly before 2 a.m. local time.
Officers responded within a minute and heard gunfire, Leppälä said.
About four hours later, police got word that a man wearing camouflage clothing had been spotted near the center of the southern Finnish town of Hyvinkaa, Leppälä told MTV3.
Police were able to take the man calmly into custody at 7:45 a.m. local time, he said.
The suspect is a local man, Leppälä said, and a gun and other materials are now in the hands of police.
Regional chief inspector Markku Tuominen told MTV3: "It is possible that there are more people involved in the case."
He said the suspect did not have permission to have firearms.
MTV3 initially reported one death, citing the police.
Two of those wounded in the attack were in critical condition, a hospital official earlier told the channel. It is not clear if one of those victims died.
No information was released about the motive for the shootings.
Finland's President Sauli Niinisto expressed condolences to the family members of the victims.

What did you make for a xmas party?
I had a fun time with my husband's family in socal! They got 5 girls, so decided to make a hello kitty cake for them. I thought about making it more xmasy, like coloring the ribbon with green x red, making a nose with red chocolate or something like that. However, I just felt like making a original version after all.
Hello Kitty Chocolate Cake (9in)
-9in sponge cake ( I made chocolate one)
-Chocolate cream
350ml Heavy whipping cream
160g Chocolate (chopped)
-Whipped cream
one pint Heavy whipping cream
70g Granulated sugar
a little, vanilla extract
-Fruits (optional, but strawberries go well with this cake I think)
-Pocky (whiskers)
1. Slice a sponge cake into 4. Line a 9in bowl with plastic wrap. Cut the 2 slices of the cake to line the bowl as shown in the picture 1. It's like a puzzle, kinda..
2. Make chocolate cream. Put 160g chocolate and 160g whipping cream in another bowl. Mix then in a double boiler. Slowly melt the chocolate. When chocolate melt, take the bowl out from the double boiler and add the rest of the whipping cream. Mix carefully until thicker. Pour it in a bowl from step 1. (picture 2)
Make ears with a slice of the cake. Lay the extra cake between cream. (picture 3) Put fruits if you want. Pour the cream to the top. (Picture 4).
3. Put a lid with the 4th slice of the cake. Refrigerate for a couple hours.
4. Take it out on a cake plate. ( picture 6)
*I took this picture when I made a smaller size cake.5. Connect the ears and the face with Pocky.
6. Make whipped cream by mixing heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract. Pipe around the face.
7. Make the face parts. (eyes & ribbon: chocolate, nose: ;lemon cream covered almond)

YET another Scottish ale. Yes, I know, you're probably getting tired of every other review on my blog being of a Scottish beer. I'll look at some bottles that aren't from Scotland soon enough, but let's see if this bottle can't end on a high note. Bought from Tesco, this is a Traditional Scottish Ales Ltd bottle of Lomond Gold Organic Blonde Beer.
I'll be honest with you. I thought that the brewery was called 'Lomond' and that 'Traditional Scottish Ales' was just a description. But that would be too easy. Instead it turns out that the brewer is called Traditional Scottish Ales Ltd, and that this bottle is called Lomond Gold. Is it only me who was flummoxed by this?
The front label has a big silhouette of what is presumably a Scottish loch. Loch Lomond perhaps? I happen to think the whole label looks a big like those from the Orkney Brewery. Have a look at their Northern Light and Dark Island to see what I mean.
The style of the text is something I like. The deliberately warn down typeface that looks as if it has come straight from the dark ages is a very effective. It gives the impression that ancient Scottish clans might have stopped to drink blonde ale, in-between fighting each other and the Vikings.
This label also has the highest billing yet for 'Organic'. This is definitely the new trend in beers and ales. Especially as a selling point by the smaller breweries. It's probably something that we'll see a lot more of in the years to come. Also there, are the 500 millilitre quantity and the unremarkable 5% ABV.
Over on the other side of the bottle, it's clear that they have chosen to keep things simple. No long paragraphs describing the history of the brewer or origins of this brew. Just a white background, black text and some gold here and there.
Very helpfully, they start the back label with 'Tasting Notes'. These are always good fun, to see how near or far the drink actually is to them. The concise little sentence they give us is "Clean sharp and fresh tasting with a hint of citrus and a very satisfying aftertaste". Sounds yummy.
Also warranting a emboldened line on the back label is the statement "Triple filtered for added purity". Now that's not something I've read on any other bottle. What are the benefits to filtering so many times? I'm admittedly a beer novice, so if you know, leave a comment at the end of this post.
Under the 'Ingredients' heading, the organic credentials are boosted further. Pure Scottish water. Organically grown malted barley and organically grown hops and yeast are all mentioned. The Organic Certification logo is on there. And that this bottle contains 2.5 of your UK units of alcohol. In case that is of any importance to you whatsoever.
Down below the barcode is the contact information. Which is interesting because it tells us that Traditional Scottish Ales Ltd are from Stirling. There's a telephone helpline. And a web address, which at the time of writing, doesn't work. Come on chaps. Get your website working before printing the address on the bottle. You're bottles are being sold at Tesco now. If you care to try it yourself, you might or might not find it at www.traditionalscottishales.com. Changing it to a .co.uk gets things moving. So, you'll find their website at www.traditionalscottishales.co.uk instead.
After being poured, the ale itself is non-descript. There's hardly any head to speak of And the colour is a subdued shade of gold. The smell is quite good though. Split roughly 70-30 of malted barley and hops. A good smell for an ale, if you ask me.
A couple of gulps in, and I'm not sure what to make of the taste. There's nothing that jumps out at you. It's certainly not bad. But it is hard to figure out. This is going to take a few more gulps…
There's a little bitterness in there. But not very much. If, like me, you don't care for bitter, you won't be too put off here. It's quite clean and fresh in character. This isn't a particularly big, heavy and daunting drink. Not too gassy either.
The aftertaste is hoppy and slightly sour. But not in a bad way. And yes, there are those hints citrus that were promised on the label. In fact, all the things promised on the label are present. Only not in the ways that I was expecting. The proportions and character of everything is different to what I was expecting. And arguably different to what the label led me to expect.
But is Lomond Gold any good? I'm sure that is it. It simply isn't too my pernickety tastes. I'm finding it too 'sharp' in its bitterness. But then, that was what the label advertised. I'm sure that there will be lots of you out there, with your flat caps, pipes and walking sticks who adore the bitter and malty flavours of the ale world. The organic links will also be of great interest to the pro-museli brigade of Islington. It just isn't for me.
This leaves me in a quandary for how to sum up Lomond Gold. Traditional Scottish Ales are a relatively new outfit. And I want to encourage new breweries. Lomond Gold will appeal to some people. But not me. I found it boring and lacking the character of the many other ales and beers out there. It does well with the clean and fresh taste and citrus hints. And that is to be applauded. But with so many awesome Scottish ales out there, this needs to try that bit harder to stand out.
Rating: 3.6
Have you tried Lomond Gold? Or any others from Traditional Scottish Ales? If so, leave your thought below.
Or any other ideas, suggestions or insults for that matter.

text: Capitalizing on the unimpeachable proof that there will be another season of Arrested Development, as recently established by multiple grainy set photos and some very specifically threatening voicemails we've received, the producers of Arrested Development have moved on to another, subtler form of subterfuge: attempting to convince the world that "John Slattery" is real. According to TV Line, the elaborate construct of wires, fox pelts, and pocket squares who is meant to be a genuine person outside of Mad Men will appear across multiple chapters of the show's 10-episode run, moving and speaking non-Mad Men dialogue just like humans possessing free will do. We've been informed that we should find all of this exciting and plausible, so yay! "John Slattery" is going to be on Arrested Development!

With the convention coming in September, local schools hope to bring civics lessons to life.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Humanities Department, along with Junior Achievement of the Central Carolinas, plan to launch a "DNC Project" next fall.
A recent administration report to school board members said the nonpartisan effort "will provide students with the academic competencies required for the state's essential standards for civics, economics and social studies."
"Students will demonstrate knowledge of the political system in the United States, including the history of election processes and party conventions; the structure and process of local, state and federal government; and the role political parties, lobbyists and interest groups play in elections, legislation and governance."
The convention-as-classroom idea will extend to college and university students, too. Next year, they'll have access to special for-credit classes inspired by the convention.
UNC Charlotte is touting the "49er Democracy Experience" – an effort still in the works that will bring together students and faculty from local higher education institutions. Schools include Catawba College, Davidson College, Johnson C. Smith University, Queens University of Charlotte, Winthrop University and others, according to UNC Charlotte spokesman John Bland.
The effort has a special website: democracyexperience.uncc.edu.
Look for classes hitting a range of subjects, from leadership to economics, communications to anthropology, social issues and service, Bland said. The initiative is nonpartisan. Students interested in the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., in August will learn of opportunities to be involved in that, Bland said.
"There's not much more exciting in civic life than the buzz created by a presidential election," Joan Lorden, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, said on the website.

Big party at ImaginOn?
Are the open spaces and brightly colored walls at uptown's ImaginOn the perfect spot for a 600-person cocktail reception during the Democratic National Convention?
Possibly. A nonprofit group has asked the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system about renting the space, home for Children's Theatre of Charlotte and other programs.
The library's board voted last week to charge a $7,500 rental fee for the open areas, and $9,500 for the open areas and theater. That's the standard fee for rentals to nonprofits, plus $1,500 for cleaning and administration.
Former county commissioner Darrel Williams heads a board subcommittee screening groups who want to use library facilities during the DNC.
"We have wonderful facilities like ImaginOn and the (Main) Library," the closest ones to Time Warner Cable Arena, Williams said. "It might help them, and help us get a few dollars as well."
But don't expect convention rentals to solve the library system's cash woes.
The library is still recovering from last year's $10 million budget cut from the county. "We don't expect to have a big budget infusion with this," Williams said.

DNCC sending care packages to NC troops
The folks planning next year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte will be assembling 500 care packages Wednesday for N.C. troops serving overseas.
Each package will contain 25 items, said DNCC spokeswoman Joanne Peters.
Among the goodies: candy, gum, sunblock, memorabilia from Carolina sports teams, coffee, socks, soap, phone cards, toiletries, assorted food snacks -- and letters written by students at Allenbrook Elementary School.
Local news media have been invited to take pictures and film footage Wednesday afternoon of the DNCC staff's Care Assembly Line at Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena. That's also where Democratic delegates from around the country will gather next September to re-nominate President Barack Obama.
Besides planning for that big show, DNCC CEO Steve Kerrigan has also pledged to reach out to the Charlotte and greater Carolinas communities.

DNC looking for interns
Are you a college student interested in politics?
The Democratic National Convention Committee looking for about 40 spring interns.
Officials are looking for interns to work in a variety of convention offices, including communication, intergovernmental affairs and even that of the CEO.
This semester, the DNCC has interns from Central Piedmont Community College, UNC Charlotte, Davidson College, Charlotte School of Law and Winthrop University.
The spring program will run from January to April 16.
College or university students in the Charlotte area should get an application from their school career center. Applications are due Dec. 16.

Convention organizers going to all 100 N.C. counties in search of 'ambassadors'
The Democratic National Convention Committee said today it plans to launch "a community outreach campaign" to all 100 N.C. counties.
In January and February, the committee representatives will spread across the state talking about the convention and identifying 100 Convention Community Organizers to serve as "ambassadors" for the convention in their counties. The convention will be held in Charlotte Sept. 3-6.
"With the 100 County Plan, we hope to .... gather ideas to help ensure that this Convention is truly representative of the state of North Carolina, and reflective of the ideas of its citizens," convention CEO Steve Kerrigan said in a statement.
Convention officials say the plan is designed to promote next year's convention as a state-wide event, help recruit volunteers and encourage businesses to use the convention's vendor directory. Officials plan to announce the 100 County Community Organizers in March. Jim Morrill

Group member lands contract
A local group of minority entrepreneurs, devoted to helping members get work during the Democratic National Convention, claimed its first victory this week.
Karen Lawrence of It's My Affair is among a trio of firms that will manage hotel room blocks for convention week. It's a contract worth at least $1 million for the three firms, which bid together on the project. They'll coordinate with hotels and convention officials to house approximately 6,000 convention delegates and others, including elected officials, some media and campaign staff.
The other two firms, based in

Mike Tyson — former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, convicted rapist and pigeon enthusiast — has a one-man show (a "raw confessional") coming to Broadway. He's been on a journey, and the show will explain all that has happened. And he would like for you to know that he has changed. He is now a "wimp" and a vegan. In the past, he had "too many." Too many what? Too many:
- prison cells
- jails
- lawsuits
- bankruptcies
- women
- venereal diseases
- everything
He also admits:
I was a prostitute hunter.
Now, he says, "I let my wife get away with the stupidest stuff."
Spike Lee — directing the show — calls Tyson's tale "a great American story."

Hero Bus Driver SAVES childs life!
Bus driver Irena Ivic saw a very young boy in freezing temperatures around 8 a.m. ,according to the Milwaukee County Transit System. Reportedly, the child "was wearing just a onesie and a diaper." MCTS later learned the baby is less than a year old. Here's a video of what happened on Dec 22 when this all went down. It's a very good thing, he was noticed when he was or it may have been too late.

MIAMI (AP) The Miami Marlins claimed right-hander Sam Dyson off waivers from Toronto on Wednesday, clearing that roster spot by designating outfielder Kevin Mattison for assignment.
Dyson made two appearances for the Blue Jays last July, giving up four hits and allowing three runs while recording only two outs. The Blue Jays designated him last week to make room to sign Mark DeRosa.
Mattison went hitless in five at-bats with the Marlins last season.
The Marlins announced earlier this week that 31 non-roster players have been asked to spring training, including Chad Qualls, a right-handed reliever who made 52 appearances last season for Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the New York Yankees.

Original post
Because I'm stuck waiting for the results of frequency calcs on some large transition metal clusters, I've become interested in understanding the output of frequency calculations in progress. After all, why wait 15 days for a results if there are early signs that the calculation has gone haywire?
Also, it might just be me, but frequency calculations are not that easy to restart, so you want to make sure that you give them enough wall time to finish if you use a queue manager.
I'm sure most of this could be appreciated by RTFM, but who has time for that?
So this is what the calc does:
After the usual boredom of reading in the geometry and doing an energy calculation, followed by an MO analysis, the computational fun starts.
Each cycle contains the following reports:
- Total Density - Mulliken Population Analysis
- Spin Density - Mulliken Population Analysis
- Total Density - Lowdin Population Analysis
- Spin Density - Lowdin Population Analysis
- Expectation value of S2:
- NWChem DFT Module
- Caching 1-el integrals
- Total Density - Mulliken Population Analysis
- Spin Density - Mulliken Population Analysis
with the exception of the first cycle, which also look at the alpha-beta orbital overlaps, the centre of mass, moments of inertia and does a multipole analysis of density and save an initial hessian.
Each cycle ends with a report of the energy for that vibration:
Total DFT energy = -3297.032399945703
One electron energy = -26618.764098759657
Coulomb energy = 12938.745973154924
Exchange-Corr. energy = -382.742230868704
Nuclear repulsion energy = 10765.727956527733
Numeric. integr. density = 441.999974968347
Total iterative time = 7947.4s
If you do cat nwch.nwout|egrep "Total iterative time|Total DFT energy" you can see the progress:
Total DFT energy = -3297.032416366805
Total iterative time = 12146.0s
Total DFT energy = -3297.032399945703
Total iterative time = 7947.4s
Total DFT energy = -3297.032399544749
Total iterative time = 7946.0s
Total DFT energy = -3297.032406934719
Total iterative time = 7945.8s
Total DFT energy = -3297.032405026814
You now have an idea of how long each step takes. But how many steps in total? I think it's 3N steps, where N is the number of atoms.
For my 50 atoms POM using the values above it'd be roughly 8000 s * 150 = 13 days 22 hours.
Which seems about right...
cat nwch.nwout|grep 'Total DFT'|gawk 'END {print NR}'
66so I've got another 8 days before I can get my hand on some juicy thermochemical data...
Time to start preparing lectures...
