Libtalker, Ed Schultz: "I've noticed on a few stump speeches that he (Obama) tells us that he might be small, but he's tough. And I have thought about all of the past presidents. I haven't heard a president tell us how tough he is. Am I wrong? Tell me if I'm wrong. ... And I think that's rather strange, or unusual..." - (h/t - Radio Equalizer )

We can trim your pet's nails during a regular visit or you can make an appointment just to have their nails trimmed.
- Soft Paws:
Soft paws are an excellent alternative to declawing a cat. They are vinyl caps that are glued to the cat's claws that prevent damage from them from scratching. Soft paws generally last for 3-4 months.
- Health Certificates
Planning a trip out of state? Your pet will need a health certificate from a veterinarian. We are happy to provide you with one. Your pet will need a current rabies vaccine and a routine exam by one of our vets. We also provide International health certificates. Depending on what country you go to the process can take some time and there are specific time limes that must be met. Please contact as soon as you know that you will be taking your pet to a new country.
- Drop-off Services:
For those days when life is busy and you don't have time to spend at the vet. Ask about dropping your pet off to be seen by the doctor while you attend to other things.
- Dentistry:
A free dental exam can be done at any appointment. We perform dentals Monday through Friday. A dental includes placing an IV catheter, general anesthesia, dental x-rays, ultrasonic cleaning, polishing and the first application of Oravet. The patient also receives a complimentary physical exam and a nail trim.

There is a pharmacy right in the clinic. Most medications that are prescribed can be purchased at the clinic. Some prescriptions can be called/faxed to another pharmacy for the client's convenience. Please allow 24 hours for prescription refills.

University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement (PennHIP) is a program that was developed to test dogs susceptibility to hip dysplasia. There is no surgical or medical cure for hip dysplasia but diet, medication and certain activities can slow the course of the disease. Veterinarian's that have completed special training to perform the PennHIP procedure can diagnose and help treat. The procedure is done by taking x-rays of the dog's hips while they are completely relaxed under anesthesia. More in depth information can be found at www.pennhip.org or by contacting Ada Animal Hospital.

This is how my neighbor's kitten, which we have named Chumlee, has ended up living here. We have kitty dishes filled with Meow Mix and water. We have shelter. We have kids to play with. You people seem to like me so I'm staying.
My neighbor's, however, are not just guilty of neglecting this kitten alone. Oh no. They had two kittens from the same litter apparently and I hadn't seen it about. This worried me. Do the other kitty die? If it did die was it a horrible neglectful death or did my first cat, the militant dumb gay one, eat it? Or was I just stealing a capricious kitten because we offered better snacks?
None of the above. The kitten was wary and a bit underweight. It finally came around when it was assured we had copious amounts of cat kibble and more than enough water to drink. Since we've come home from camping Chumlee's sister, a cat we used to refer to as "Bumlee" until we learned that it was a girl, has not left my home.
We've named her Beulah. Since we've been feeding her she's gained weight. She keeps an eye on the cat dishes. So far she's not farted or drooled like her brother.
Have a YouTube of the idiocy I've allowed to live in my house. Chumlee is the further kitten with tabby markings and Beulah is the closer with sable markings.
You know these cats will fit right into my household because the moment I started to film one sticks it's face into the other's butt.
So now the question is, "Becky, why haven't you gone to the neighbor and given them the good word about their kittens?"
Well, I'll answer that. They never seem to be home. I've never even heard them call for their cats. I'd hear it too. My air conditioner's still out and my windows and doors are open all the time. Unless my kids are screaming the call of "Here kitty kitty kitty!" should carry.
So, I'll take on these defecting kittens until I get tired of them and flush them down the toilet.
Or until I start smelling like a cat lady.

Copy/Paste Not Copying Cell Formatting (row Height)Jun 29, 2007
I am having a problem with a excel spreadsheet. There are no formulas or anything, just text that I used excel to get everything lined up. I haven't had any issues before, I was copying and pasting within a document. It was all text with different row heights set. I ran into a problem now where the text copies and pastes fine but the row heights aren't coping into the cells I am pasting into, just the text. What do I have to do so they will copy? I don't want to have to go an individually adjust each cell.View 2 Replies

The Orioles season has not gotten off to a good start. The Orange and Black have lost several games due to bullpen implosions. The latest was last night when Mike Albers gave up a 3 run homer to Tampa's Carlos Pena in the top of the 10th to give the Rays an 8-6 win over the Birds.
The 1-7 start has a lot of fans and some media calling for Manager Dave Trembley's head. Right now I'm inclined to give Trembley the benefit of the doubt. The Birds young line-up has really struggled scoring runs. The hitting with runners in scoring position is really bad and that's not Trembley's fault. The pen, as previously stated, has been terrible. Closer Mike Gonzalez looks lost and I have never been a fan of last night's loser Matt Albers. Firing Trembley isn't going to change the hitting with runners in scoring position or the bullpen performance.
The one question I have for those who want to fire Trembley...who would you replace him with? FYI Earl Weaver isn't available.

Pierluigi Veronese is an Italian artist that turned to ice cream for inspiration in his latest series. The pieces were done in Photoshop, and show different flavors and shapes of the popular Italian treat.
Some of Pierluigi Veronese's designs include ice cream in the shape of a space ship, square-shaped looks and even ones that appear to resemble the game of Tetris. The artist also experimented with various forms of colors too, pairing reds and oranges together, as well as dark purples and maroons. According to DesignBoom, the work is meant to "remind one of a time without smartphones and technology at the beachside – when the only choice one needed to make was which flavor to choose," which is exactly what is done here.

Guest post by Jemima Herman, Worldwide Partner Conference lead for the Microsoft U.S. Partner Team.
Are you a planner or a procrastinator? If you're like me, whether you plan ahead or put things off probably depends on how many immediate demands you have on you. The 2012 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is taking place in Canada, so for U.S. attendees, there are some important international travel details to add to your to-do list for attending the Conference. If you take care of them in the next few weeks, they won't surprise you in a few months, when you are about to travel for the event in July.
- Passport. All U.S. citizens are required to present a valid U.S. passport to enter or re-enter the United States via air. It may take up to six weeks to have a passport issued to you. The sooner you start the process, the sooner you can relax about it. See the U.S. Department of State website for more details on traveling to Canada.
- Health Insurance. Check with your health insurance provider to understand what coverage, if any, you will have while you are in Canada.
Phone: Calls, Text, and Internet Access. Check with your mobile phone provider about international rates and coverage plans, as you'll want to communicate with fellow WPC attendees, as well as family and colleagues back home.
Toronto has built a great reputation for being an amazing city for holding important gatherings. Some things to know about Toronto that make it the right fit for hosting the Worldwide Partner Conference:
- 65 airlines offer flights to and from Toronto's Pearson International Airport, which handles more than 1,250 flights daily, with half of those from the U.S.;
- Several major American cities, and about 60% of the U.S. population, are within a 90-minute flight of Toronto;
- It's a safe, clean, urban center, with the lowest crime rate in North America for a metropolitan area of its size;
- Getting around the city is easy, with readily accessible public buses, streetcars, and subways.
To learn more about traveling to and within Toronto, plus its sights, restaurants, entertainment, and other activities, try the Tourism Toronto website, which I have been regularly visiting myself.
Watch for my next WPC 2012 post in the New Year. Happy Holidays!

By Mr. David Mcnally (RDECOM)March 26, 2008
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - Across U.S. Forces Korea, more civilian employees are entering the National Security Personnel System. The new "pay-for-performance" system was designed as a replacement to the old civil service system.
The new pay system requires a Garrison pay panel to evaluate and rate each NSPS employee's performance at the end of the year. The results of the panel are recommendations to the pay pool manager for how much, if any, salary increase and bonus will be paid out to the employee. U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan has about 50 civilian employees who entered NSPS Nov. 11, 2007.
"Our goal is fair and equitable treatment of all employees in distinguishing among levels of performance and pay," said Kenneth Stark, Civilian Personnel Advisory Center chief.
Members of the Garrison pay pool, along with 18th Medical Command, AFN Korea, USFK and 8th U.S. Army managers, met at Dragon Hill Lodge March 13-14 for extensive training on pay pool structure, rules and roles.
"NSPS employees need to keep track of their accomplishments throughout the rating cycle," said Carrie Wiggins, Area II Civilian Personnel Advisory Center lead NSPS specialist, and instructor for the training. "Under this pay system, it is critical for employees to write self assessments for the interim review and the annual review."
Wiggins said the self assessment is not mandatory, but not submitting one may reflect on the NSPS employee's final payout.
"We had some really good training," said USAG-Yongsan Pay Pool Manager Don Moses. Moses is also the deputy garrison commander. "The key will be to have a successful 'mock' pay pool."
A mock pay pool allows pay pool members to review self assessments and supervisor's ratings in a practice panel. Panel members vote as they would during an actual pay pool and get an opportunity to see how the process will work.
The garrison pay pool members are the directors of Human Resources; Logistics; Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation; and the chiefs of Public Affairs and Safety.
"Because this is a new process, this could be time-intensive," Wiggins said. "For 50 employees, the pay pool may have to be sequestered for a up to a week."
Wiggins said each NSPS employee's rating will be reviewed by the pay pool against a set of performance indicators.
Moses said he wants Garrison NSPS employees to take all available online training, like NSPS 101 and the iSuccess course.
"It is vital that everyone understands the implications of the new pay system," he said. "Supervisors and employees need to communicate about their smart objectives and what progress is being made toward their successful completion."
Smart objectives are the agreed-upon standards linked to an employee's organizational mission. The objectives are "results-focused." The CPAC will offer classes on writing smart objectives April 18 and May 29.
Pay pool members must complete NSPS supervisor and pay pool management training. Members also sign nondisclosure agreements. All pay pool proceedings are confidential. The pay pool manager has the authority to override panel recommendations. The NSPS employee has the right to appeal their performance rating to the Performance Review Authority. Under USAG-Yongsan rules, the PRA is the garrison commander.
"We're keeping our NSPS employees informed and educated," said Garrison Pay Pool Administrator Bob Clifton.
Clifton said the garrison panel will meet mid-May to conduct a mock pay pool. The actual pay pool will conduct panel meetings Nov. 17-21 resulting in the first USAG-Yongsan payout for performance Jan. 6, 2009.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"I have swelling on my face and majorly on area on side of the eyes - and it goes puffy as we go down the face. What it could be?"
hi i have swelling on my face and majorly on area on side of the eyes and goes puffy as we go down the face please suggest medication taken - doctor suggested creatinin , blood test and all were fine. PSA test also fine. No other problem except stool not coming properly everyday but stomach also doesnt seem upset
Thanks for your question, and I am glad to hear that you have been speaking with a doctor. Different doctors are more or less likely to recommend certain tests based on their training and what they are used to. Things that affect your entire body are quite commonly able to be identified through tests of blood levels and other things that can measure the systemic effects of medications. In your specific case, the fact that you pinpoint only one part of the body as being puffy or swollen suggests that your problem could be something that is affecting your entire body, or it could be something that is localized to your head and neck. If these early tests have been negative, then there may be some value in looking into other possible causes such as anatomic changes that could cause these symptoms. Some causes of diffuse swelling include heart, kidney, and liver problems that are readily tested with blood tests. Some anatomic causes of swelling include obstructions of blood vessels, tumors, and infections, all of which are sometimes better tested with imaging studies. Your doctor will likely have suggestions for what to do next, so please continue to speak with your doctor.

When Robert Weissman, president of the advocacy organization Public Citizen, told reporters last Thursday that "today is a day to shed a tear for our democracy," hyperbole was not on my mind.
There has been a broad range of reactions to last week's radical Supreme Court decision to allow unlimited corporate money to be spent on political campaigns. Activists are calling for changes to the way elections are financed, an increase in the power of shareholders to regulate the political spending of CEOs and even a Constitutional amendment in order to combat the ruling.
"This will dramatically change the landscape of our politics," said John Bonifaz, legal director for Voter Action, a nonprofit election integrity organization, in last week's press call shortly after the decision was announced.
This quick response was heartening to me, as I gloomily pondered the effect of these new campaign finance rules on the 2010 election cycle. Indeed, the big surprise came from those who had the audacity to argue that not only should corporations be allowed to spend whatever they want on campaigns, but that it really won't make any difference at all on American politics.
Cue spit-take.
"It's hard to follow no matter where you lean politically," Lisa Gilbert, a democracy advocate for the U.S. federation of Public Interest Research Groups (U.S. PIRG), told me when I asked her about the logic behind such an argument in a phone conversation earlier today.
This weekend, New York Times writer David Kirkpatrick argued that there is no evidence that corporate money makes a difference in American politics. He noted that in the recent Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case, Justice Anthony Kennedy remarked that there was no evidence offered in the case to show that campaign money ever bought a lawmaker's vote.
Yet, the reason for the absence of evidence as cited by Kennedy had more to do with the activist way the Supreme Court pursued this case. As I noted previously, when the justices heard the case last spring, the Supreme Court ordered that rearguments take place in September addressing whether two key precedents in campaign finance reform challenges should be overturned, essentially asking whether judicial precedent on campaign finance should be thrown out.
"[The Supreme Court's move to] imbue this decision with a much broader set of arguments… shows on its face that they are activist," said Charlie Cray, a policy analyst for and the director of the Center for Corporate Policy, a public advocacy group working toward greater corporate accountability. "It's a frightening sign of the kind of activism to come."
"Kirkpatrick's argument is preposterous," wrote Public Citizen's Weissman in an e-mail response to my questions. "The reason there was no evidence in the record that Kennedy examined is that the issue of corporate influence was not at stake in this case until the Supreme Court so decreed. No one developed evidence on this point, because no one thought it mattered to the case (or that it was in doubt)."
Then again, much of Kirkpatrick's reasoning relies on fuzzy logic. At one point he insists that "after Congress further tightened the rules with the landmark McCain-Feingold law in 2002, banning hundreds of millions of dollars in unlimited contributions to the political parties, public trust in government fell to new lows, according to polls."
Not only does Kirkpatrick fail to say which polls he's referencing, but one wonders why the public's trust should be won by the mere passage of an admittedly compromised law. Perhaps the airing of just how much corruption there is in campaign finance caused said trust to drop off, but regardless, correllation is not causation.
His next point is equally specious:
And what about the corporations that contributed so much of that money? A review of the biggest corporate donors found that their stock prices were unaffected after they stopped giving to the parties. The results suggest that those companies did not lose their influence and may have been giving "because they were shaken down by politicians," said Nathaniel Persily, a professor at Columbia Law School who has studied the law's impact.
"To me that's just kind of absurd," Cray said of the assertion made by Kirkpatrick, George Will and others. Cray asked that if that were the case and campaign contributions really had no effect, "wouldn't that be fiscally irresponsible" to spend those millions on political campaigns?
Daniel Schuman, policy council at the Sunlight Foundation, a group working for greater transparency in government, said the argument being made by those who deny the effects of campaign contributions is one using "social science," a discipline in which it's impossible to "prove anything."
"They could be setting up straw men," he said. "We can't prove that gravity exists, but people don't argue that it doesn't."
Nestled within the argument that corporate contributions don't change the way politicians do business is the notion that businesses should have the right to engage in the political process as a way to ensure equal freedom of expression in American politics. But, as the old saying goes, some are more equal than others.
Jeff Milchen, co-founder of the American Independent Business Alliance, explained that while large corporations now have the ability to take their shareholders' money and use it to curry political favor, the small businesses his organization represents do not reap such benefits under this decision.
"Small business owners don't need this artificial creation of corporate speech," he said in a phone interview today. "It's of no advantage to them, and a substantial handicap."
Milchen also warned against those who use the cause of American businesses as a reason to support the Supreme Court decision.
"I'd caution people to be extremely skeptical whenever you see a news article that puts things in terms of pro-business or anti-business," Milchen said. "Usually that's code for the interests of huge transnational corporations."
The larger argument in support of the Supreme Court's decision rests on the insistence that corporate donors have no measurable effect on elections or governance. But Cray took umbrage with the idea that there is no evidence of corruption in the corporate financing of elections.
"What about Duke Cunningham? Here's a guy who had a menu on his desk," showing just how much it would cost in campaign contributions to get a political favor, Cray said.
Public Citizen's Weissman pointed out there is evidence on the other side of the giving tree as well:
"I don't believe there is a single person on Capitol Hill who believes that contributions do not get you access to members of Congress," he wrote. "To take one example among thousands: Does anyone believe that auto dealers managed to win an exemption from the Consumer Financial Protection Agency that would be created by legislation that recently passed the House, because they made good arguments? They obviously succeeded because of their influence."
Gilbert of U.S. PIRG argued that not only is such a presumption incorrect, but it's unnecessary to point to a specific event as evidence of quid pro quo. Even if the flood of corporate money flowing into the system does not happen at the "astronomical" levels expected, she said, the fear of corporate retaliation could give a lawmaker pause, "leading them to pander to corporate interests" anyway.
Not that things weren't bad enough already, she noted:
"Our system as it stands is incredibly corrosive."

Washington Business Journal, Jeff Clabaugh
Sunday, Oct. 17, 2010
The American Planning Association's 2010 list of Great Neighborhoods, Streets and Public Spaces is short on Washington-area locations, with just two in the region making the list. Downtown Frederick made its list of Great Neighborhoods, while Middleburg's Washington Street made the cut for this year's list of Great Streets.
The nonprofit has been putting its list together since 2007 and says places are selected for the list for their true sense of place, noteworthy social, cultural or historical character, community involvement, resilience, and a vision for the future.
"Places of distinction and unique character are found not only in big cities or selected states, but everywhere," said APA CEO W. Paul Farmer. "These American Planning Association Great Places demonstrate the benefits of good planning and planning implementation, often over generations."

Woohoo! Our first Music Monday of the year for a 2013 song, and it's a HUGE song. It's Girls' Generation's "I Got a Boy" which got a bergillion views and lots of hype. Lots of people asked us how we felt about it, which we stated in the video above. If you haven't seen Girls' Generation's video yet, check it out below, and then we'll expand on some more of the points we discussed in the video.
For starters, we really like writing these blog posts, because we get the chance to talk about our ideas in a lot more depth. In our videos, we have to balance the need to express our opinions with our desire to entertain. We're silly people, and like to talk about not silly things in silly ways. Talking for too long, on it's own, is boring for us, and we want to make the videos fun. These posts, though, let us talk a lot more about ideas that would take us farrrr too long to talk about in video format. So, let's talk a bit more here, if you're up for it.
For starters, we aren't thrilled by the song, and we won't be convinced otherwise by people telling us what the song means or what it does. I'm also going to argue against potential comments here from people who say that the song is a lot better when you listen to it a lot more. Sure, that may very well be the case. If I listen to it another 20 times, I might start liking it. The problem for me is, I don't want my pop music to do that. I want to listen to a song and be blown away by it and to be caught up in a mindless fury of dancing. I don't want to have to work hard at liking a pop song. That's not why I listen to pop music. Make me dance because I love the song; don't make me put effort into liking your song.
I like my songs to follow a pattern. This song breaks the pattern of songs, for me. Sure, it's different, and very original for a Kpop song, but not everything that's different is good. I remember reading some godawful books in English class simply because they were the first of their kind. Great: kudos for being original, but you still suck, Djuna Barnes (Ohhhh, how I hated reading "Nightwood" What a sack of crap!)
And so it is with this song, though I don't violently heave at the thought of it like I do "Nightwood." "I Got a Boy" is not a sack of crap. It started off great, but then falls apart in trying to do too much. In my opinion, it's better to be great at one thing than mediocre at many things. Electric Shock, an absolutely awesome song, had a solid pattern and sound. They stuck to it. They developed it a bit, but they didn't abandon it within the song. "I Got a Boy," though…I…I just don't know what they were thinking. You might find it's great, and you might like the originality. We find it forced and unaesthetically pleasing, and feel like if it was given to a band that wasn't famous, many people would feel the same way, too.
The imagery in the video also doesn't do it for us whatsoever. But, then again, you know that we're not particularly fond of SM videos, though we often love their songs. This video: it just upset us on so many levels. Girls' Generation are women now, not children. Act a little more…mature? Why do they act like fools when the boy rings the doorbell? Is this new technology to you? Why throw all of your stuff everywhere? Uggh! That opening scene was just so…bizarre. The video would have been a lot better without it.
Girls' Generation dance phenomenally well here. This is probably one of the best dances from a female group that we've ever seen. It's badass, aggressive, and confident, and we don't see that from a lot of girl dances, right? I just wish they would have stuck with that image of power and assertiveness, and not regressed back into slack-jawed ninnies when the boy is around. When they're with each other, the girls are rugged and tough. Bring a boy into the picture, and they act like they're five years old again. That's not cute. That's not endearing. That's ridiculous, and just a dumb message to get across.
Let us know your thoughts. We're 50/50 with this. It's got some really good parts in the song, and has really outstanding dancing, and it's got some really bad parts in the song, and has really stupid imagery.
If you like it more than we do, make sure you pick it up via iTunes and YesAsia. More importantly, though, if we haven't annoyed you with our review, give us a vote for the Shorty Awards! We're in second place, and we're catching up to first, but we need the power of the Nasties to Nastify the Shortys! Do it!
And, if you're feeling like getting in a few more chuckles, you can do so at the expense of Martina's inability to pronounce some words. She also can't help but think of buttcracks at times. Oh Martina, you special, special girl :D

New book gives grandchildren chance to learn about grandparents
After 16 long months of working together on their new book "My Grandparent: A Life and Times Journal for Grandchildren of All Ages," Dick Edwards, of Menomonie, and Korrin Hawkins, of Roberts, have finally been able to get the word out about their latest work.
However, the book might never have been written without a chance conversation Edwards had with Hawkins' husband, co-owner of the River Valley Ford dealership in Baldwin, Corey Hawkins, while filling out paperwork after purchasing a new car.
"[The book] was an idea that I had had for several years," Edwards said. "As odd things happen, in the spring of 2012 I went to River Valley Ford to buy a car and I was in the office of the co-owner doing the paper and I saw a picture of his family so we started to talk about them.
"During the conversation, he told me his wife had written some children's books and was interested in pursuing book writing as her career. So, I said, 'Hey, I've got this idea for a book, but I'm kind of lazy and I think I need a partner to kind of drag me along.'"
Soon after that conversation, Hawkins and Edwards began meeting to discuss how to tackle the new book they wanted to get published. The two met at coffee houses, libraries and each other's houses throughout the book-writing process and published the book on Sept. 7, through a partnership with Amber Skye Publishing of Eagan, Minn.
"You can tell from Korrin's background and my background, that family is really important to us," Edwards said. "Because of that, we think that it is important to find ways for families to capture their family history, including their values and stories.
This book is for that purpose; to help families gather information from that generation of family that isn't going to be around much longer."
"My Grandparent" deals with the relationship between the grandparent and the grandchild as well as giving the family a way to capture the grandparent's life story in journal form and preserve it for future generations.
"There isn't an easy way to put this, but when grandma or grandpa dies, if you haven't captured their history and stories, they are gone," Edwards said. "The book is a journaling tool that is very flexible and can be done over a period of time. The grandchild invites the grandparent to engage in this process and that in itself strengthens the grandparent/ grandchild bond and the process produces a family heirloom."
Before joining up with Hawkins, Edwards, a retired Mayo Clinic Eldercare Specialist wrote the highly acclaimed book, "Mom, Dad...Can We Talk?" along with Mike Ransom and Ruth Weispfenning. On the other end of the spectrum, Hawkins, who's mostly written children's books, has published four other books of her own, including "Someone Above You Loves You" and "Thanks God, I Love You."
"Before this book, I had written four other children's books, but I have been trying to build some momentum to get my career off and running," Hawkins said. "So I was overjoyed to have somebody want to partner with me and write a book. This book is a lot different than the books I normally write, but I definitely write heart-based books and this one is in that same category."
Initially, the pair thought the book was a children's book, but over time, they began to realize that grandchildren can be of all ages.
"There was a moment when we said, 'Hey, wait a minute. Thirty-year-olds have grandparents and so do 40-year-olds, so let's make this for grandchildren of all ages," Edwards said. "Doing that does a couple of things. It acknowledges that anyone can have a grandparent and it acknowledges that there is a bigger market out there from a business perspective."
The book features four sections, which incorporate all the different parts of the grandparent's life and puts them together in an easy to follow format. The four sections include the grandparents' growing-up years, their work life/family life, their grandparenting/retirement years and a section about looking back at their past as well as looking into their future.
"We tried to make it all encompassing to capture as much of the grandparents' life up until that date," Hawkins said. "There is a chance to talk about some lighter, funner topics and then there are some deeper ones as well."
Hawkins just started going through the book with her son and his grandmother and she has enjoyed learning about her mother's life -- including a few tidbits she never knew before -- just as much as her son.
"We weren't sure if this was going to be his deal, but we wanted him to do it," Hawkins said. "He was pumped to do it and even came up with his own questions right off the bat. It was sweet to see the two of them interacting."
The book is 102 pages and comes in a paperback format. It is available at MyGrandparentJournal.com or Amazon.com and can be ordered at any local bookseller.

Fifteen full-time employees have been rehired at 1st Urban Fiber's paper recycling facility, according to the financial advisor for the $250 million facility's bondholders.
A few more employees may be rehired in the future, said J.T. Atkins, managing director for Oppenheimer & Co. in New York.
Those employees will maintain the plant's equipment until it becomes operational again, Atkins said.
The plant at the corner of Eastern and Memorial boulevards was closed and 53 employees fired on Aug. 7 when the bondholders took control from 1st Urban Fiber Operations.
Company officials shut the plant in April and laid off 40 employees indefinitely because the price for recycled pulp had plummeted since last fall when the plant opened. They had hoped to reopen in early 1998.

A business owner has three options for processing payroll: He can use payroll software to process it himself, contract with a payroll service company such as ADP, or hire a local bookkeeper. A good solution is one that maximizes the speed and expertise of processing payroll for the least cost.
Rarely does a business owner have the expertise and time to process payroll himself, so payroll software may not be a good option. Payroll service companies such as ADP, Paychex and Ceridian process payroll daily for large and small firms. These payroll service providers offer efficiency, expertise and portals for accessing records online. Local bookkeepers have the edge in face-to-face contact and sometimes cost but may not be able to support online data exchange.

"How To Clean Your Glass Cooktop"- This pin originally came from Jayna at Behind The Studio.
I am lazy.
I make messes and leave them for so long that they make their own messes.
I am especially lazy about cleaning the cooktop. I think I only ever use the front right burner.
Isn't burner an appropriate term for something that is constantly involved in me burning dinner?
Anyway, there was a huge ring around the right front burner. Mostly dried oil and boiled over macaroni and cheese. Nasty. I keep losing my Ceramabrite. Not that it is that effective. So this is what it looked like when I started:
Overall, pretty dirty. Especially that right burner.
The first step, according to Behind The Studio, is to cover the affected area in a generous amount of baking soda (I used Arm & Hammer) while soaking a towel in a bowl of hot water and dish liquid (I put like a teaspoon of Palmolive).
I squeezed about half of the water out of the rag and covered the baking soda-ed burner with it. Then I set the timer for 15 minutes.
A lot can happen in 15 minutes. In my case, I decided to eat some pizza that had been cooking in the oven. (Note to self: don't leave boxes of baking soda on the cooktop while the oven is on. The heat will make the box stick to the cooktop, thus creating more for me to clean. Sigh...) I was on the second bite when my sweet little (naked) girl came riding through the kitchen on her stick horse. She was singing but stopped abruptly. I looked over to see her make a strange face and then I heard...splat. Potty training a toddler is such an adventure.
Ok, so after 15 minutes (and a bath for the little one), I used the towel to scrub the cooktop. This is what it looked like:
I must have done something wrong. Pretty sure it shouldn't look like this. So I started over. More baking soda to the burner and more soaking under the hot, wet rag.
You can totally see where I used this side of the rag to scrub during my first attempt. Ewww... <Shame>
I waited 15 more minutes and scrubbed with all my might. But it really wasn't coming up very well. So I got out the little scrub pad that came with the cooktop. Its the square yellow thing in the picture below.
After I had scrubbed as much as I was willing to in one night, I used a clean wet rag to wipe off the baking soda. Then I sprayed it down with Windex. This is the finished product:
As you can see from the picture above, there is still a little goo stuck on the burner. But this process really did get most of it off. And if I had scrubbed a little longer, it would have all come off, I'm sure. Also, keep in mind that my goo was like...a year old. Seriously. I am a terrible housekeeper.
I did this little experiment at night. When I look at my cooktop this morning with the sunlight coming in, I can see lots of scratches. I am sad about this, but I don't know what is worse-goo or scratches.
So overall, I give it an C- . This may be a fabulous, harmful-chemical free way to clean your cooktop-if it isn't as dirty as mine! So don't wait a year before you try it...

Backstrom, Wild agree to four-year extensionby Mike G. Morreale
"A snapshot of Nik's three NHL seasons shows a staggering run of success, but to see that whole picture unfold daily, we have not been surprised. Instead, we are proud of what he has accomplished, and we are excited for what he will."
-- Wild GM Doug Risebrough
With the trade deadline set for Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET and the risk of losing their pending unrestricted free agent All-Star goaltender July 1, the club signed Backstrom to a four-year contract extension Tuesday that includes a no-trade provision.
"Nik is one of the most reliable players and people on our team, and that combination enables winning," said Wild General Manager Doug Risebrough. "A snapshot of Nik's three NHL seasons shows a staggering run of success, but to see that whole picture unfold daily, we have not been surprised. Instead, we are proud of what he has accomplished, and we are excited for what he will."
According to Wild Assistant General Manager of Hockey Operations Tom Lynn, the length of the deal and the no-trade provision were critical.
"(Backstrom) has a no-trade for two years and his no-trade continues as long as he's basically our No. 1 goalie as far as his stats go," Lynn said. "The no-trade was complicated."
The impetus to getting Backstrom signed before July 1 comes from lessons learned last summer.
The club couldn't sign unrestricted free agents Brian Rolston and Pavol Demitra; they dealt Rolston's rights to Tampa Bay for a fourth-round draft pick, and got nothing for Demitra, who signed with Vancouver.
The Wild currently are 10th in the Western Conference with 65 points, but they're just two points shy of seventh-seeded Edmonton and three behind sixth-seeded Columbus. Backstrom was a central part of any late-season push to return to the top eight.
"The biggest thing I'm really happy about is I have an opportunity to stay with this great organization for some more years," said Backstrom. "As a player, you can't let these things go to your head and you just have to focus on your job and play the best you can every night. I really didn't have to tell my agent (Don Baizley) anything. He knows how I feel about Minnesota and playing here. It's great to play in front of these fans and to come back home and play in front of a sold-out crowd every night. Don knows that these things really matter to me."
The 31-year-old native of Helsinki, Finland, is 28-18-4 in his third season with the Wild. He's fourth in the League with a 2.24 goals-against average and .925 save percentage and tied for second with six shutouts. He played in his first NHL All-Star Game this season.
There's no doubt Minnesota coach Jacques Lemaire is happy he'll have his starting goaltender long-term. Lemaire, who has coached his share of top-caliber goalies, including Martin Brodeur in New Jersey, ranks Backstrom near the top of his list.
"What pushes Nik is his desire to improve," Lemaire told NHL.com. "He came into this season really focused on his job and he's at his best right now. He's great on the first shot because he's a great positional goalie -- always looking to gain the initial edge on the shooter. You really have to place a perfect shot on Nik to beat him. He won't give a lot of bad goals and has been very steady. What you see is what you're going to get with Nik."
Did Backstrom ever consider testing the free-agent market?
"I don't know, I guess that crosses your mind, but I was thinking about every-day things most of the time like practice and game days," Backstrom said. "You can't be too satisfied what happened in past; you have to be hungry for more and I want to be better every game. I think I've improved a lot in my 2 1/2 years in Minnesota and I want to be able to have good surroundings that will help me be as good as I can be."
Rookie right wing Cal Clutterbuck has been amazed by Backstrom's durability.
Among goalies who have played 100 or more games since the beginning of the 2006-07 season, Backstrom ranks first in the NHL in save percentage (.924), second in goals-against average (2.19) and winning percentage (.660), and is tied for fifth in shutouts (15). He has also stopped 14 of 16 shootout attempts this season (4-1, .875 save percentage).
In 144 career starts, Backstrom has allowed three or fewer goals 127 times and two or fewer 86 times. In 66 starts following the NHL All-Star Game in each of his first three seasons, he is 40-10-11 with a 2.04 GAA and .926 save percentage.
In 150 NHL games, he is 84-39-18, with a 2.19 GAA, .924 save percentage and 15 shutouts.
"Nik works hard at his game," Lynn said. "I think the most telling statistic is the shootout. The first year, he was the worst in the League in shootouts (3-5, .531 save percentage); this year he's the best (4-1, .875 save percentage). Why is that? Because he went home all summer and worked on it -- watched video, worked on it with players, worked on everything he could to get better in shootouts."

Peg Loom Weaving
Peg looms are simple to use, even the most inexperienced user can create attractive, useful and decorative items. Skilled weavers can achieve amazing results using unusual materials: unspun fleece, recycled yarn and fabric……..even bin liners.
Versatile for old and young alike.
We recommend customers to buy the largest loom that budget and space allow as small articles can be produced on a large loom, but this doesn't apply in reverse!
All our looms come in four different lengths and are all approximately 7cm wide and 14cm high. What differs from one loom type to another is length and corresponding peg capacity (which dictates the width of your finished weave). The fineness of the woven result is governed by peg size – i.e. a finer weave can be achieved by using a fine loom rather than a standard.

I also have an appreciation for those broc stems, they make such a nice shape when sliced.
At least some of us have the vision to square this circle. broc i say thank god they aren't we've all got enough competition between ourselves already

Janine Debevec, her lady-in-waiting StarMaker Boa, and their majordomo broc Zehetbauer, in period dress, and most friendly to these trespassers on their lovely build.
I think I'll make two jars and blanch the broc for one jar and leave the other raw and see which version I prefer.
Marcella Hazen has a recipe for smothered broc in red wine: onion, Greek olives, anchovies, parmesan, broc, red wine and olive oil layered in a pan and simmered covered over low heat for an hour til liquid is evaporated.
I like broc in stir fries and sometimes blanch it first.

NABUCCO V. South Stream
If the secret to energy security is diversity of sources, then GAZPROM appears to be busy guaranteeing security of natural gas deliveries to Europe. In the past decade, they have built or initiated a number of gas pipeline projects: Blue Stream under the Black Sea to Turkey, North Stream under the Baltic Sea to Germany, South Stream under the Black Sea to the Balkans and the rest of Europe. The problem, of course, is that these pipelines represent a false sense of security. They do not promise diversity of supply, since all the pipelines are under the control of GAZPROM, an independent corporation that is owned by the Russian State.
These new pipelines actually will give Moscow the freedom to punish some states without affecting gas deliveries to others. In January 2009, Moscow cut fuel supplies to Ukraine only to be surprised by protests from Western European countries who were dependent on the same pipeline for fuel deliveries. With the new pipeline network, Moscow will be able to cut supplies to the "Near Abroad" and continue to deliver gas to its European neighbors. This could force countries of the former Soviet Union back into the Russian orbit.
With the exception of limited deliveries through the Baku-Tblisi-Erzerum pipeline, all gas from the Caspian basin reaches the world market through the GAZPROM pipeline network. To break this monopoly and give the countries of the Causcasus and Central Asia an independent alternative, the European Union has endorsed the creation of the NABUCCO pipeline. NABUCCO is designed to carry gas from the Caspian, through the Baltics, and into Western Europe. When completed, NABUCCO will be able to carry about 31 bcm of gas per year, twice the 2009 production of Azerbaijan. South Stream is designed to carry 63 bcm, more than four times Azerbaijan's production. In short, even when Caspian offshore fields come on line, there will not enough natural gas in the area to fill easily both pipelines.
GAZPROM is doing what it can to make sure that NABUCCO is never built, and that Russia will keep its hand on the spigot for natural gas supplies to Europe. NABUCCO has six partners, including the German utility company RWE and Bulgarian energy holding. GAZPROM recently approached RWE to discuss their potential involvement in South Stream, and a German newspaper reports that RWE is considering the offer (The Moscow Times, 13 July 2010). Similarly, Bulgaria has signed a "road map" to accelerate the construction of South Stream, in return for cheaper prices for its own gas deliveries from Moscow (The Moscow Times, 07 July 2010; Hurriyet Daily News 18 July 2010). Bulgaria had little choice in the matter, as it is almost totally reliant on Russia for its supply of natural gas. Russia reportedly also threatened to run its pipeline through neighboring Romania instead--denying Bulgaria of any transit fees. Bulgaria claims to be committed to both South Stream and NABUCCO, but the limited supply of upstream gas makes such equivocation problematic.
An independent delivery option for Western Europe would mean approximately 10% of its natural gas supply could come from the Caspian without Russian interference. This reduces Russia's ability to limit the freedom of action of America's European allies. In addition, if Europe burns natural gas from Central Asia, it would free North African gas to be converted to LNG and shipped to the United States.
For NABUCCO to succeed, new sources of natural gas will have to be found to fill the pipeline.

Post 16 sports day
Post 16 students had a fantastic penultimate day of the summer term, holding a sports day, organised by Head Girl Holly Wilkinson. The day included football, rounders, basketball, three legged races, skipping and numerous other events. Ice cream, candy floss, and popcorn was sold throughout the day to raise money for the Sixth Form charity, before the students arranged to have pizza delivered to the school for lunch. The day was completed with an awards ceremony in the hall; the Post 16 Management Team gave out chocolates as a reward for the best attendance and attitude to learning (and to other students who have worked thoroughly hard all year), before the students gave some of their own awards - including best haircut, Mr. muscle, most stylish, etc.
It was wonderful to see so many students so heavily involved in all the sporting activity, and hopefully will be the start of many more sporting events throughout the year. A special thanks goes to Holly Wilkinson for her wonderful organisation of the day, and Zoe Ashton for her candy floss making machine!

The education of a child is significantly affected by both the attitude of the parents and the quality of the child's school and teachers. O would not say, however, that the parents' attitude is necessarily the more important of these two factors.
A good parents attitude definitely helps a child's school progress. Studies have shown that Asian students are often higher achievers in school than their American counterparts because Asian parents usually take a more active interest in their children's education. Educationally minded parents can in fact compensate to a certain extent for a poor quality school or teachers. Such parents might provide extra work at home, encourage the child to read more or study by himself or herself. Concerned parents may even hire the services of a tutor.
On the other hand, educationally minded parents are usually not enough to ensure the good education of a child Parents often don't have the resources of a good school or the collective knowledge and training of a good teaching staff.
Furthermore time or money may limit what the well-intentioned parent can actually do for the child's education in practical terms.
Consequently, although parental attitude and quality of school and staff are both important to a child education. I don't feel that one is necessarily more important than the other. Perhaps ironically, it is usually the children of educationally minded parents that finish up being sent to good schools with good teachers.

Law Street - Economic Times (April 2010) - Overseas acquisitions
Dear Readers,
The days are getting warmer, the sun beats down mercilessly, this prompts Zenobia Aunty to stay indoors, even as she dreams of a visit to Iceland (volcanic eruptions, notwithstanding). But it seems that India Inc is truly leaving its footprints behind on foreign soil. Tax laws, if amended with this growing need in mind, could really put India Inc on the global map. To read more, click here.
In case, you can't access the above link, or the summer heat is making you lazy, the article is also pasted below. Have a nice weekend.
Best regards,

Globetrotting anew
Overseas M&As must be encouraged
Reforms for overseas M&As must be progressive
Singapore has introduced a M&A write-off
Travel writer, Pico Iyer is known to have said: "…Travel for me is an act of discovery and of responsibility as well a grand adventure and a constant liberation." India Inc which is once again confidently striding overseas and engaging not only in setting up shop overseas but boldly acquiring companies overseas would no doubt agree.
After all, in a flat world and one which is only getting flatter, inorganic growth, especially cross-border growth is essential to emerge as a leader or at least find a firm footing on the global map. We do have astute business leaders who are willing to embark on the overseas expansion road trip, keeping in view their stakeholder's interests. However, the much desired change in regulations to spur outbound growth remains largely elusive.
Indian Companies are expanding their operations worldwide – either through acquisitions or by setting-up new companies. A corresponding trend that has emerged is that more and more Indian companies use their overseas subsidiaries to hold offshore investments. One of the principal reasons in doing so is that repatriating funds to India is extremely inefficient from a taxation point of view – foreign dividends when received by the Indian investor company in India are taxed at the normal corporate rate (current of 30%) plus applicable surcharge and cess.
In addition there is economic double taxation, because Indian companies are taxed on dividends received from its overseas subsidiaries without receiving any credit for foreign taxes that were paid by the dividend paying subsidiary (only a few tax treaties entered into by India, such as those with Mauritius and Singapore provide for underlying tax credit). Developed tax regimes avoid this issue through either providing a tax credit for foreign taxes or by totally exempting the dividend from tax in the recipient jurisdiction. For instance, UK and Japan last year, introduced legislative changes whereby dividend income received from an overseas subsidiary is not taxed.
In fact, globally there are constant developments in the realm of taxation, to encourage outbound growth. Zenobia Aunt's Singapore attorney friend provided some interesting details. He dropped in last weekend to meet Zenobia Aunty who is currently recuperating and is housebound.
While he was sipping a cup of Darjeeling tea, he happened to look at this paper and the headlines relating to an overseas acquisition. This sparked off a debate on whether India was really friendly to its overseas investors (domestic companies investing overseas). Our friend, the Singapore attorney, felt India still had a lot to do to catch up.
Jet lagged, he wasn't at this diplomatic best. "The Bandra-Worli sea-link, isn't enough", he quipped. This invited glares from all of us and a growl from Spot. Zenobia Aunty was more realistic. While she acknowledges the liberalisation reforms carried out, she still thinks that there is a lot more we can do, or rather must do.
Singapore recently announced its budget proposals which contain some interesting features. A merger and acquisition (M&A) allowance will be available in respect of transactions that qualify during the five year period commencing from April 1, 2010. The quantum of the M&A allowance is 5 per cent of the value of the acquisition
subject to a cap of Singapore dollars 5 million. This M&A allowance is to be written off by the Singapore company equally over a five year period. Further stamp duties on transfer of unlisted shares in respect of such qualified M&As will also be remitted subject to the stipulated caps.
The Singapore government has recognised that M&As are a necessary tool for strategic growth and globalisation. The M&A allowance, in the form of a tax write-off helps defray a portion of the costs of acquisitions. It is simple, because it does not distinguish between interest costs and other costs and hence is neutral between debt and equity financing in the M&A deal.
Zenobia Aunty is quick to point out that the RBI has over the years liberalised the provisions relating to outbound investments. The overall limit for outbound investments by Indian companies now stands at 400 per cent of its net-worth. However, our tax laws have not been as progressive.
While anti-avoidance provisions are sure to be introduced when the Direct Tax Code (DTC) comes into play, progressive tax laws must not be ignored. Perhaps a cue can be taken from Singapore, and also from Japan and UK, which have now exempt foreign dividends repatriated back to the home country. And if we could introduce an M&A write-off, nothing like it.
Recent statistics released by 'Business Monitor International' show that the outbound foreign direct investment as a percentage of GDP in developed countries is 33 per cent. In the BRIC countries it is as follows: Russia (20 per cent); Brazil (10 per cent), China (3 per cent) and India (2.6 per cent). For India to catch up, supportive domestic legislations, especially on the tax front hold the key.
