I cannot believe that I missed this entire controversy. Not only did I miss it, but also I had never in fact before even heard of Amiri Baraka. I suppose I was in the 10th grade at that time, but I by no means considered myself to be one who missed big news like that.
Baraka's poem is amazing, and shockingly controversial in the right ways. The lines about the Israelis "Cracking they sides at the notion" while they watched the Twin Towers explode, and the suggestion that 4000 Israeli workers stayed home that day, did give me some cause for pause. Still, I think that Baraka explained his reasoning for putting those eruptive lines in. As the article points out, Baraka uses two separate narrative voices in the poem. He could easily have been using his "governmental" or "white supremacist" narrative at the time. But then again, he may not have been.
The article depicts him as a bit of a sucker for conspiracy theories and he did publicly confirm his belief that both the "counterfeit" president and the Israeli government were not necessarily responsible for the attack, but that "they knew." I myself hate conspiracy theories. When undocumented, propaganda and speculations mean nothing to me. But, making rumors apparent does not deserve the elicitation of the title "hate speech." Despite the reasoning of the ADL that "to find fault with the Jewish state is to think I'll of Jews," the poem served a greater purpose.
The poem planted a seed in the minds of many American citizens (though apparently not mine) that it is important to question your government (who who who) and to find out what it is keeping from you. He also urges readers to understand that results such as the attacks of September Eleven generally come from a long and complicated history of oppression and violence, and speaks of white supremacy as being "the most terrifying form of imperialism and it's attendant national oppression." Couldn't be more true. Seems like the controversy is an avoidance of answering his question of "who?" That's how divide and conquer works. Huh.

On July 28, 2015, the State Administration of Taxation ("SAT") issued Shui Zong Han [2015] No. 409 ("Circular 409") to strengthen the administration for collecting individual income tax ("IIT") on electronic red envelopes.
In recent years, electronic red envelopes, defined as incentives companies randomly distribute to individuals to advertise, promote and increase their business, have become a popular way to attract new customers and ensure client loyalty. However, before Circular 409, which was distributed internally to local tax authorities instead of being publicly released, there was no clear guidance on their taxation.
Circular 409's main highlights:
- Electronic red envelopes containing money that companies give to individuals are subject to IIT, which the companies must withhold.
- Electronic red envelopes containing coupons that companies give to individuals to buy products or services, or containing cash refunds after individuals have spent a certain amount, are considered a price discount and are not subject to IIT.
- Electronic red envelopes individuals give each other are not considered taxable income and are not subject to IIT.
Date of issue: July 28, 2015. Effective date: July 28, 2015.

The Power Of Headlines: The LA Times Gets It Right With Their Piece On The Inauguration
Journalists call them headlines; SEOs call them titles and headings. Whatever you call them, they're the words that tell someone that your article is what they want to read. Look at Google News any day of the week for examples of headlines that give you absolutely no idea what the article might be about. Search engines don't know what to rank them for; users don't know whether to click.
One trend I watch is that of searchers asking what time things start. For any event, you can be sure that searchers will take to Google to find out the start time. I chronicle this every year, for instance, with the Super Bowl. Every year, we search for the start time, and every year, the sites that should have the data either don't have it all, or have headlines like "countdown clock" until this year when the NFL built exactly the right page (and I was so happy!).
Yesterday, I was similarly happy when I saw this headline from the LA Times. It's descriptive and succinct. It may be based on what people are searching for, but it's using that information to better understand the audience and meet reader needs.
The article contains valuable information and not just a bunch of words in an attempt to capitalize on search traffic.
Well done, Morgan Little.
PS – this article currently ranks on the first page of Google unpaid results and in the News onebox for the query [when is the inauguration]:

From the back cover:
"The power of prophecy is given to few. Wise are they who guard this gift well, for those who thirst after such knowledge are not always men of principle.
Bastion of destiny, the Tower of the Heavens stands silhouetted against the star-studded night sky. From within his darkened observatory, perched like an eyrie on the highest turret, a figure in white charts the course of a shooting-star as it disappears behind the snow-capped peaks of the Tegefed mountains.
The old man smiles grimly to himself; the event foretold has come to pass!
Power, glory, riches - it takes years to acquire them. The uncanny accuracy of their predictions has brought all these and more to the sages of the Tower of the Heavens. But what is hard to win is often easier to lose, and the future of the tower now hangs in the balance.
For it is written that the day of reckoning draws nearer when a star falls...."

Brothers Walter and Clyde Retish love reading, love libraries, and love their grandparents. So when the boys were here to visit Paul and Esther Retish, it made sense for them to stop by the Iowa City Public Library to get some books before taking grandma home after her volunteer shift at The BookEnd.
"My grandpa and grandma travel a lot, they go to many places around the world," Walter, 11, says.
They usually bring back foreign money, which their grandsons took to the bank and cashed, walking out with $66.67.
On Wednesday, Walter and Clyde also visited us in the Development Office of the Iowa City Public Library to make a $66 donation. The 67-cents went in the donation box at The BookEnd.
Walter and Clyde's presentation was a great surprise. I assured them that yes, we could use the gift to buy several more of the Young Adult books they love reading, and thanked them. Their generosity made my day.

Stone of Mystic Diplomacy
Once thought to be a plant, Coral has been considered the "garden of the sea", even in so much as the variety of coloring it presents in. Coral symbolizes happiness and joy, enabling it's bearer to enjoy life to its fullest.
The ancient texts tell us that people once believed that the planet Mars was actually composed of Coral due to its coloring and striations. Records date back thousands and thousands of years confirming that Coral has been used as jewelry and in decorative objects by peoples all over the world.
According to historians and Greek mythology, when Perseus cut off the head of the Medusa Gorgon, some of the blood dropped into the sea and solidified into Coral.
Ancient Egyptians would place Coral pieces in tombs of those that passed as protection against evil spirits in the afterworld, as they thought that it truly contained a drop a divine blood.
Coral may be found in colors such as red, pink, orange, black, blue and white.
What is considered an Organic Gem?
While many minerals are considered gemstones, there are also a number of materials that have been infused, infilled or partially replaced by organic materials; as well as natural organisms that have been mineralized then used and considered valuable 'gems' throughout all our time.
Organic materials considered gemstones include but are not limited to: Amber, Bone, Coral, Ivory, Pearls, Mother of Pearl, Abaone as well as meteorites such as Moldavite
Organic materials that have been mineralized to gemstones include: Dino Bone (Gem Bone, Gembone) Petrified Wood, Fossils such as Ammolilte and Ammonite; during the mineral infilling the organic structure is preserved therefore it remains an organic material, and thus an Organic Gem.

Coral is the skeletal remains of creatures of the sea called 'coral polyps'. Tiny in size, they live in the colonies that form the branching structures as they grow…eventually forming full coral reefs. These branches have a very distinctive pattern made by these tiny creatures, often striped or resembling wood grain.
The majority of Corals are made of calcium carbonate, such as red, pink, white, and blue. The colors black and gold are created of hornlike material termed "conchiolin".

Said to quiet the emotions and to bring peace within oneself. Facilitating and stimulating intuition, imagination, and visualization. Assists one in not only to understand the subtle qualities of the mystic, but also to use them in the proper manner.
Worn to affect inner changes, Coral dispels fear, depression, panic, and nervousness. If one is to place a piece of coral under one's pillow, it is said to produce peaceful sleep and to ward off disturbing dreams and nightmares.
Coral is said to bring one into communication with the Ancient Ones. One of the four Element Stone to the Pueblo Indians, symbolizing the Road of Life. Among the Hopi and Zuni Tribes, Coral is one of the elements along with Jet, Abalone and Turquoise.

Just last week, we were talking up Berkline as one of our favorite home theater add-ons. After all, it seemed like a no-brainer, being a popular seating choice among many of our readers. Well, now consumers may have to find another comfy seating option.
Furniture Today says that Berkline is planning to shutter its business and liquidate all of its assets. EH has confirmed the news with Berkline's PR rep.
The upholstery and home theater seating company has apparently been trying to sell for quite some time.
"It has determined that an orderly liquidation of substantially all of the company's assets is the only viable course of action," Berkline said in a statement.
According to the announcement, the company has slowly been in decline since 2008. The move will leave more than 600 people out of work.
"Berkline … is disappointed by the decision to liquidate, and … deeply regrets the impact this will have on its employees, customers, suppliers and communities," the release said.
Berkline was founded in 1928 in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1937, the company expanded to Morristown, Tennessee, which has served as its headquarters ever since.

Mirpur : Bangladesh cricket coach Chandika Hathurusingha is eyeing the two-match T20 series against South Africa to prepare his side for the World Twenty20 to be held in India in next March-April.
Bangladesh are weaker in the shortest form of the game compared with the other two versions. So far, Bangladesh have won only three of their 18 matches in the World T20 and two of the wins came against Afghanistan and Nepal, reports bdnews24.com.
Bangladesh could not beat any of the big teams after their first match in the first World T20 in South Africa where they had beaten West Indies in 2007.
Having played fewer T20 Internationals have not helped their cause either while there is no domestic tournament at present. It leaves Bangladesh with having to take special preparations before every T20 global event.
Hathurusingha said he wanted to shape up the team for the event in India in the home series against South Africa.
"We will keep the World Cup in mind to a great deal in this series. We are now thinking about team coordination and planning. We are trying to find which (tactics) will be effective for us. In the South Africa series, we will keep eyes on these matters," he said.
The series kicks off on Sunday with the first 20-over tie while the second one will be played on Tuesday. Both matches will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium here.

I learned a long time ago, while working at a popular breakfast spot, Stop stressing... Its just Bacon and Eggs... How bad can you mess that up?
Saturday, November 24, 2012
Happy Saturday Ya'll
I'm happy to report that our Thanksgiving went wonderfully! It's amazing what a little bit of planning and foresight can do to make things run smoothly. Neither of us care all that much for turkey so we usually have something else. No telling what usually, but the way I have it figured it's not so much the "what" you have but the "why" you have Thanksgiving in the first place.
I didn't get any pictures of dinner this year. The rechargeable batteries I've been using in my camera don't seem to be charging as well as they used to. I'll have them charged up and in the camera and try to take a picture and it already needs recharging again. Do rechargeable batteries have an expiration date? Anyway....
It was a pretty warm and sunny day here. Mars fired up the pit. Originally we were just going to smoke a chicken. Then he remembered the brisket I'd picked up on sale awhile back. Nothing says yummy like a smoked brisket! ( Of course that might just be because I'm from Texas) Our menu for the day might be a little off the traditional but we did have sweet potato's, Granny's Recipe Cornbread Dressing, pasta salad, fresh baked rolls and a Pumpkin Cheesecake for dessert. I won't have to cook for a week! LOL
Other than that there's not much new to tell ya. We are still working in the garden when we can. All the irrigation tape has been taken up and properly stored till next spring. We still have to come back with compost and manure once we finish weeding out as much of the Johnson grass as we can so as not to have so much come back in the spring. I've got a feeling this is going to take awhile!

Right back atcha Carolyn!Delete
Hooray for your great sounding meal! Ours went fine after I got the cat out of the already baked pumpkin pie that was cooling. Sigh. Always something. He currently is on my "short" list if you know what I mean.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh NO! Not the pie!! Some things are better left unsaid hey?Delete
Those rechargeable batteries do take a memory. Through them in the freezer overnight, then into the charger. Usually, it puts them back to new status.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Ian, you are the best. It seems I had heard that somewhere once. It didn't stick very well though did it? LOLDelete
Smoked brisket makes for a delicious Thanksgiving meal!!! I know where I'm going for left overs :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Plenty left for company! Smoked brisket is good for what ails ya.Delete
Ian, I will tell Hubby about putting rechargeable batteries in the freezer overnight, thanks.ReplyDelete
I tried pumpkin cheesecake this year, also. I ended up adding the whole can of pumpkin (they are only 14 oz. now) and doubling the spices and still thought the cheesecake was pretty mild. Everyone liked but it was missing something.Replies
I noticed that the pumpkin was short too! It infuriates me that they raise the prices and lower the amounts like we won't notice. I'm a sucker for cheesecake though...Delete
We are always losing days here.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear your holiday was a good one. Have a wonderful Sunday!Replies
LOL LindaG Next time I loose one I'll be sure to ask you if you found it. We may be on to something here. I wonder if we saved up enough lost days we could take a vacation... hmmm....Delete
Smoked brisket is a winner anytime you have it!ReplyDelete
dang! that dinner sounds just great to me! i'll take any leftovers that you got - bahahahahahah!ReplyDelete
your friend,

I can't cook a brisket if my life depended on it. :(ReplyDelete
I'm new here....the "meatloaf" on Pinterest caught my eye.
Babs Mc
Happy belated day. I had a sandwich, so Thanksgiving wasn't all that photogenic. It was good to read about your day. Big hug.ReplyDelete
Your dinner sounds fabulous! YUM. Speaking of "non traditional" meals my youngest has requested my homemade enchiladas [with my own refried beans on the side] for Christmas dinner. Thank goodness, because I hate ham and I am about turkey'd out. heehee Pork is great, as long as it is smoked, "baconised" or pulled. I just don't like ham, so I figure enchiladas are a great deal. :)ReplyDelete
Hope everything else is going well. I have been away and I find I have A LOT of catching up to do. Have a wonderful holiday season SFC.

Young Adult
Hardcover: 296 pages
Publisher: Carolrhoda Books; 1 edition (September 1, 2010)
Book synopsis: Noah, Lily, and Simon have been a trio forever. But as they enter high school, their relationships shift and their world starts to fall apart. Privately, each is dealing with a family crisis—divorce, abuse, and a parent's illness. Yet, as they try to escape the pain and reach out for the connections they once counted on, they slip—like soap in a shower. Noah's got it bad for Lily, but he knows too well that Lily sees only Simon. Simon is indifferent, suddenly inscrutable to friends. All stand alone in their heartache and grief.
My review: There are some books I can get into easily, while others take some time, and then there are some I give up on. These three all share one thing in common: connection. Reading is ultimately an experience shared between the author's words and the reader. If the story doesn't connect with me what's the point in continuing? I approached The Absolute
Value of -1 wondering: the synopsis grabbed me, would I like what I found inside?
Yes, I did. The Absolute Value of -1 really connected with me. I came away from the book fully understanding the four narrators who shared with me their viewpoints about life, love and friendship.
The book begins with Lily and I found her version a little off at times, but I got her. She's in love with Simon, one of the two guys she hangs with. Her parents are divorced and she's a math whiz. I loved her relating math to music and how her teacher wanted her to participate in the Math Fair but she didn't (or deep down did she really,hmm). Lily knows her relationship with Simon is purely one-sided but she doesn't give up on him, until she has to.
The second guy of their makeshift group is Noah. He sells pot and smokes it too. His father is abusive and he dreams of hitting his old man. He loves Lily and knows she only has feelings for Simon, the last of their group of cigarette/pot smoking/class cutting/loser friends. He's a mixed up mess of a kid who likes to write and finds out his dad has cancer. His relationship with his older sister, Suzanne, is past the point of being normal and he cries too easily. The fourth narrator, although very brief, is Suzanne. She is away at college until her dad's health emergency brings her home.
I liked Brezenoff's writing, especially the job he did with Simon's voice. Simon had some epic lines. My favorites included: "I strolled into the kitchen to look for signs of motherhood," and "Those icicles of suburban waste had seen so many kids like me sitting here." I also thought Simon's character was the best written and the most complex. Even though I didn't like him much, I felt his pain and the scene with his sister in the hospital restroom really touched me. My favorite character had to be Noah, all tough guy exterior with the soft heart of someone pining for a girl he'll never have and the father who will never love him.
Four people, four different voices and perspectives. Brezenoff weaves their unique perspectives together succinctly and effortlessly. Being a teen is a time of turmoil, roller coaster emotions, explosive hormones--there's so much going on and this book shows the difficulty of these years through the four very different words of contemporary youths. The Absolute Value of -1 just proves that sometimes we don't truly know some of the faces we hang with everyday and consider 'friends'. But that's not to say what they have to offer isn't worth hearing. It is and that was the beauty of this novel.
I may be a fantasy junkie when it comes to books but I will admit 2010 has had some amazing contemporary YA novels published. When you tire of vamps, werewolves and other creatures, sink your teeth into something worthy. Like this.
Rating: ++++
Favorite excerpt: This is from Simon's perspective. (From page 257, ARC edition.)
"In my head, it was already done. I was already there--past smoking, and past Lily and that whole depressing situation, and if I never saw Noah again, it would be too soon. I decided, probably right when Noah hit the ground, that I had my own little cancer to fight, and it was growing fast in me, and the best way to beat it was to run."
Cover comment: Actually, after reading the book I thought the image of the artwork conveyed the message of the story accurately.

Whoot! It's Monday!
Who's excited?
Yeah, me either.
I'll be at work by the time this is posted and I'll probably be leaning on the wall trying not to fall asleep.
But I found this quote over the weekend on Pinterest while I was researching some Yoga and Meditation stuff and thought I could use this reminder this morning and maybe some of you could too.
It's easy to get swept up in problems and things that go our way or drama at work, in our personal lives or even just the demons that play in our minds. It's easy to forget our worth, it's easy to lose sight of positivity and the good things in life. Isn't that strange? How the negativity is so much more bolder and heavier than the positivity? Ever wonder why that is? Perhaps misery loves company is more than just a phrase. It's easy to get swept away in our problems which in turn end up ruining our entire weekend or week or month or even year. And it's hard to think that these problems are just illusions in our own minds. Like, what does that even mean?! Surely the fact that my husband did something dumb is not an illusion. Cause hello, IT REALLY HAPPENED.
But I think what it's really saying is that to a certain extent is an illusion because we, as people, are capable of controlling how we react to these problems. Yes the easier thing to do is to let the problem manifest and consume us, to focus all of our attention and energy on this problem and ditch the idea of being productive because we're so distracted. The harder thing to do is to understand the issue and to not let it get to you. But what type of level of understanding do you need? I guess that's up to you.
You could let your problems consume you or you can understand the situation and not let it control you.
Clearly, that's way easier said than done.
And it's something that I myself am working very hard on remembering. It definitely takes practice and patience and constant reminders.
But friends, I hope you have a wonderful and happy Monday and a wonderful productive rest of the week!

A message in a bottle dropped into the Solway 50 years ago has been found just 10 yards from its starting point.
Jools Cox was taking part in a beach clean at Kirkandrews Bay, near Borgue, when she found the bottle on the shore.
And she was stunned to discover a message inside written by five-year-old George Grierson of nearby Knockbrex Estate on Tuesday, October 17, 1961.
Jools, from Castle Douglas, said: "It was washed up on the shore near the coo palace. There were lots of bottles on the beach because of the storms.
"It looks as if it has been there for a long time because it had moss sitting around it."
The original message said the bottle was to be returned to St Cuthbert's School in Kirkcudbright and Jools is now keen to trace George and give it back to him.
George, or anyone who knows him, can contact Jools on 01556 503 649.

Researchers aim to gauge how buildings constructed with reinforced concrete withstand an earthquake by conducting a simulation test at a two-story building built in the 1920s in El Centro, Calif. Engineers will install a spinning device, called an eccentric mass shaker, on the building's roof to induce damage by simulating the pulsing and vibration of an earthquake rattling the structure from the top down.
"This is a very challenging project but a great research opportunity because we are working with an entire existing building," says a member of the research team. The research is important for study of the effectiveness of seismic codes.

Art of Memory is a series of exhibitions at Bonniers Konsthall and at surrounding museums which, along with lectures and publications, seek to encompass today's notions of memory and history, and also to offer alternative narratives about the past. The art gallery will display three separate exhibitions, which both amplify and refract one another. Gerard Byrne, Cecilia Edefalk and Alina Szapocznikow relate very differently to how individual and collective memories shape our lives.

Brasil's Trash
As I talked about in my last post, I wanted to show you guys how drastically different trash is in Brasil. My dad works for Rubbermaid, he knows all about trash cans and plastic molds. He was in Brasil at their Rubbermaid factory and snapped these pics around town. One photo shows how they sort their trash in the factory, and my dad says this sort of sorting area is common in Brasil. I haven't seen anything like this around town, only on campus. One is a view down the street to a large dumpster, that is where the people on the street take their trash and then it it picked up their. The small bags on the street are where people have curbside pickup. But look how small the bags are! They don't even use bins for curbside pickup. In one picture, you can see how affluent people have gated houses, and their trash goes in small decorative bins. It's just dramatically different from here in the U.S. where we have such large trash cans and people have an attitude like they're not responsible for their trash. I'm not sure if Brasil has different laws or if their attitude toward waste is different. Interesting though!

Honestly, the show is one of the most popular of the 90's, and Snow's music was entirely electronic, so why was there never a decent CD pressed of his wonderful music?

The Truth and The Light: Music From the X-Files. Music by Mark Snow Words by Chris Carter. 1996 Warner Bros. Records. The CD is sitting next to me. It's the score from the first few seasons. Intermixed with audio clips. It's a GREAT cd, the only score CD I even own.

Millennium was a million times better than the X-Files and so was Snow's score for it. Let's have that soundtrack over anything else!
Aug. 29, 2006, 1:23 p.m. CST
by Mr. Fist
The Millennium music is much better then that of The X-Files, melancholy and jarring at a turn, and it needs a soundtrack NOW. Good to hear I ain't alone in thinking so.

by Korassa
....but the release was exclusively on iTunes. I had to have a friend who was on iTunes download it and burn a CD for me. Good stuff, though. Now if someone would release some of Snow's work from the last seven seasons of TXF, since the "Truth and the Light" CD only encompasses the first two seasons of the show. Also good is the CD "The Snow Files", which has a lot of other Snow music on it including a long suite of TXF stuff that frankly is the same stuff you get on "Truth and the Light", minus the dialogue.

Ya, there's an album on iTunes called "The Best of Millennium". It has 22 tracks from seven different episodes. I agree it's some really great music. There should be more than one CD worth out there.

Great to see Snow getting some attention. His X-Files and especially Millennium scores are really intriguing because they have a dark, SF/horror sound--not just sustained strings and synth eruptions. The scores were FUSED with those shows, and there are so many great moments that I wish Snow would release them the way the Babylon 5 scores all came out. The beautiful themes for "The Field Where I Died" and for Mulder's abduction as well as the Millennium theme variations are very evocative. (I never watched an episode while those shows were on TV and only recently started watching them, so these shows are brand new to me.) That X-Files score CD is worth digging up. It's probably got 5% of the scores I'd like to hear, but there are solid, creepy cues there. If you like to write horror stories it's a great accompaniment. Snow's Morricone-sized output is worth digging into. Some are simply background stuff, but there's a ton of stuff I'd love to hear apart from the episodes.
Aug. 29, 2006, 10:50 p.m. CST
by bmsatter
Damn freaking great episode and the music is sensational. You quoted one of my all time favorite Snow episode scores. Even though it's a tad close to the theme from the 2nd movment of Bruckner's 7th Symphony i'm not complaining. That was some of Snow's greatest!
Aug. 31, 2006, 1:11 a.m. CST

I miss Snow's music, has he done anything else recently? (I got The Snow Files from Sonic Images, too ... I was also a tad disappointed with the non-copyright-infringing mix straight off TTATL that dominated the CD)

text: Daniel E. Kramer Daniel E. Kramer of Yardley, inventor, engineer, attorney, patent attorney, beloved husband and father, and friend to many, died at home on Monday, Jan. 8, 2018. He was 89. Dan was a graduate of Trenton Central High School (1946) and the Columbia University School of Engineering (1950, where he was elected to Sigma Xi, the Honorary Research Society, and to Phi Lambda Upsilon, the Honorary Chemistry Society. After graduation he continued research at Columbia University Engineering Center on the subject of nuclear heat transfer. In 1950 he married fellow Trentonian Doris Silk, a marriage that was dissolved only by death after 67 years. After leaving the Dupont Project in 1953, he began at Kramer Trenton Company, a Trenton-based manufacturer of air and water cooled industrial refrigeration machinery. After serving as laboratory technician, during which he applied for his first patent, he was National Service Manager, then Chief Engineer from 1964-1988. He held 36 U.S. Patents, and was honored as New Jersey Inventor of the Year in 1990. In his capacity as Chief Engineer he was a popular speaker on Refrigeration topics at numerous ASHRAE and RSES meetings and National and Regional Conventions. He is the author of many published technical papers on refrigeration, most in the ASHRAE Journal. He was an early proponent of and author of papers on natural refrigerants that have no global warming effect. Following retirement, he was an active consultant specializing in commercial and industrial refrigeration and a popular speaker on the subject of the Ozone problem and on the use of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon mixtures as substitutes for chloro-fluoro-carbon (CFC) refrigerants. He acted frequently as an expert witness in cases involving losses and injuries arising from the operation, malfunction, or non-operation of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and their components. His expertise was known and recognized throughout the world. In 1992 he delivered lectures at the University at Rostov-on-Don in Russia. He was invited to consult in Novosibirsk, Siberia in 1998 and in Bangkok, Thailand in 2000. He is a 1976 graduate of Temple University School of Law and was a member of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Bars and a Patent Attorney. He had served as chair of the ABA sub-committee on Inventor's Compensation. From 1988 to 2008 he had an active individual patent practice, specializing in refrigeration inventions, with world-wide clientele. He held a Private Pilot's license for single engine planes and for years piloted his own Aeronca Chief high wing airplane, giving rides to family and friends. He was an active pistol marksman and competed frequently. In 1972 he won the Eastern three-gun (22, 38 and 45 caliber) pistol championship over several hundred competitors. He had a gunsmith's federal license and specialized in accurizing 45 automatic pistols for members of his gun club, Citizens R&R of Princeton Junction, N.J. He was a devotee of Classical chamber music and especially the solo violin music of J.S. Bach and regularly attended plays, dance, and concerts. He was an expert mechanic and enjoyed plumbing, electronics and electric repairs, both for his family and whoever needed advice or help. He was a distinctively non-competitive runner and ran two miles rain-or-shine every morning before breakfast from 1962 to 1992, a total of about 20,000 miles. He is survived by his wife, Doris Silk Kramer; son, Dr. David Kramer (Suzy); grandchildren, Anya and Ella Kramer, Abigail Odakura (Masato), and Samuel Feinberg; and a great-grandchild, Jake Odakura He was preceded in death by his parents, Israel and Ella Feldman Kramer; his sister, Elaine Green/Engelman (Rusty); his son, Matthew Alan, then a senior at Columbia School of Engineering; and his daughter, Susan, married to Edward Feinberg. Dan Kramer was generous to those around him, and freely bestowed his gifts (and opinions) on whoever seemed to need them, either from want or error. His sense of humor, sense of duty as a citizen, and great love and loyalty to his wife, children, grandchildren, and circle of friends and community mark him as a great though private man. He was loved by many (sometimes despite himself), and will be missed by more than he ever could have known or imagined. Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 12, at Orland's Ewing Memorial Chapel, 1534 Pennington Road, Ewing Township, N.J. Burial will follow at Fountain Lawn Memorial Park, Ewing Township. The family respectfully requests memorial contributions to a charity of the donor's choice.

The Ways and Means Committee title makes drastic changes by eliminating the use of motor fuel tax revenues forpublic transportation, revenues that have been dedicated to public transportation for nearly 30 years. Theserevenues, which currently go to public transportation, will generate $25 billion in funding over the 5 year life of thebill, and would support nearly half of the authorized funding for public transportation. This legislation wouldeliminate the use of the Mass Transit Account's motor fuel revenue for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 for publictransportation. The bill eliminates the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund and creates the newAlternative Transportation Account that would provide funding for public transportation, the Congestion Mitigationand Air Quality Control (CMAQ) program, and several other programs. Dedicated funding for the new account hasnot yet been identified.
APTA strongly opposes this proposal. This reallocation of funds would eliminate a dependable and predictablesource of funding for much needed investment in the nation's transportation infrastructure.
The Ways and Means mark-up is scheduled for 9am on Friday February 3, 2012.

I love fabrics, especially in original patterns and artful designs. If I could sew, I can see myself collecting fabrics obsessively like I do other supplies! :)
A friend from EtsyVeg, Karina of Maple Ash and Oak on Etsy, recently shared this tutorial on how to hand-print your own textiles she wrote for Poppytalk Handmade. She writes, "Beautiful prints can be created with simple methods and materials... found at your local art or craft store [or around the house]."
Another spin on DIY fabrics is creating a design on your own and having OOAK fabric printed for you by Spoonflower. This allows you to take a hand-drawn image or an image from an original painting or other work of art to make a completely original fabric for use in your own handcrafted clothing, accessories, or toys or to sell by the yard. I adore this idea! Spoonflower offers eco-friendly printing on natural fabrics, and allows you to upload your own image, arrange a pattern, and preview what the fabric will look like.
Hope you find some inspiration in these resources!

SIUE Music Department Presents Alumni All Star Concert September 11
Emily Ottwein, Dr. Kris Pineda and Amy Jo Sawyer are three of several performers on program at SIUE's Dunham Hall Theater. The concert will feature performers from five decades, ranging from trumpet to voice and piano to percussion. SIUE's accomplished alumni will perform various works from their repertoire, according to Daniel Smithiger, alumni concert organizer and instructor of percussion in the SIUE Department of Music.
Ottwein is a classical singer and pianist. She earned a bachelor's in music education in 2011 and a master's in vocal performance and choral conducting in 2013, both from SIUE. Ottwein is the choral director at Edwardsville High School.
Pineda has performed throughout the U.S. and has also performed as a featured soloist with orchestras in the St. Louis area. Some of his most recent public appearances include a performance of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy with the SIUE University Orchestra and Choir, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with the SIUE Wind Symphony, and the Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor with the University City Symphony Orchestra. He earned his bachelor's of music from SIUE. He completed his Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA, 2012) and Masters of Music (MM, 2009) in piano performance at the University of Texas at Austin Butler School of Music, studying with renowned concert pianist Anton Nel.
Accomplished accordion player Amy Jo Sawyer will also play in the alumni concert. A symphony conductor once called Sawyer "a musical genius who happens to play the accordion." She graduated from SIUE in 1989 with a master's in jazz performance.
The Friends of Music and Alumni Association will host a reception immediately following the performances in the lobby of Dunham Hall.
Ticket costs are $12 for general admission and $9 for seniors and those under the age of 18. SIUE students with identification are free.

The use of mayonnaise as an alternative to prescription head lice treatment is often tried when conventional treatment does not work, reports the Minnesota Department of Health. It is possible to suffocate head lice by applying mayonnaise to the hair and scalp; however, there is no evidence of this treatment's effectiveness.
This form of treatment usually involves mayonnaise, olive oil or petroleum jelly, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Apply the mayonnaise directly to the scalp and hair, fully saturating the hair. Cover the hair and head with a shower cap for approximately eight hours, and then wash the hair thoroughly with shampoo and warm water until all of the mayonnaise is gone. Individually remove all nits and remaining live lice, and then shampoo again.
A metal head lice removal comb or fingernails are both effective to remove nits, explains the Minnesota Department of Health. Place the lice comb as close to the scalp as possible and slowly comb through 1-inch thick tufts of hair. Wipe the comb clean to remove accumulated nits or any live lice. Keep the combed sections of hair separated from uncombed hair by using hair clips. Continue the process until all of the hair is combed through and the ears and nape of the neck have been checked.

Despite some having described the year's first quarter as disappointing or subpar, experts Tom Lee and S&P Capital IQ's Lindsey Bell said Monday they remain bullish on U.S. stocks.
"I think we're going to see some big gains this year," Fundstrat Global Advisers' managing partner told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "If you look at the last 30 years, the correlation between gasoline spending and apparel spending for 80 percent of households is essentially -1, meaning if gasoline drops 50 percent, in the last 30 years, it was always a commensurate increase in entertainment and apparel spending."
U.S. crude fell about 2 percent on Monday as investors kept an eye on negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program in Switzerland.
Lee also said he expects the next round of earnings to be positive. "The level of earnings has obviously not been great, but I do think earnings are going to be a positive catalyst because we're going to hear companies say, 'Look, we don't know where oil's going to settle, but if it stays here, we're good on margins,' " he said.

What well-known site is most desperately in need of a redesign? Warnerbros.com. Their website is all over the place. It's pretty overwhelming, has multiple paths fighting for attention and the text and images are tiny because they are trying to fit too much into a small space. It could definitely use an overhaul, especially because they've got so much content. With a matrix and a little artificial intelligence, they could have a really cool experience that's more usable and streamlined.

She died on Friday the thirteenth. This year, May 13 again fell on a Friday. 90 years later, in the midst of our state's sesquicentennial celebration, the death—and life—of this Kansas girl are still remarkable.
Mary White did not lead the life of a typical Kansas girl, but she embodied the spirit of her state—fierce in the defense of individual freedoms, full of wild beauty, alternately sunny or stormy but wide-ranging and free. She died engaged in one of her favorite activities and lived as much for others as for herself.
Perhaps it was both these things which allowed her father, world-renown journalist and author William Allen White, to gracefully release his daughter on that May day in 1921 and to write an enduring editorial celebrating her life a few days later.
Mary lived on horseback. Her brother once teased their mother that she would someday be the grandmother of a horse. The afternoon of her death found Mary on her usual ride headed out into what her father later called, "…the radiant green fields of the spring". Her accident, occurring while she turned to wave at a friend, stood in stark contrast to the prairie town in bloom around it. Kansas springs still are marred by the arbitrary deaths of its children experiencing the freedom of youth. Like a sprig of lilac or the catalpa trees her father celebrated later that May in his newspaper, a young life is sometimes sheared—but its bloom can be preserved.
Mary's bloom has been preserved in her father's editorial of May 17, 1921. He fondly remembered her love of practical jokes, her friendly nature, and her growing awareness of injustices in her hometown. She read books intended for those well above her sixteen years and her thoughts equaled and were inspired by them. Is it any wonder that, in a 1914 letter to the editor of the New York Tribune, author and family friend Edna Ferber proposed Mary as a future presidential candidate?
Mary would have brought honor to our state, as did her father and her brother, had she lived beyond the accident on that Friday the thirteenth May afternoon. Instead, her death comforts others in their loss and the life she did live epitomized the spirit of Kansas. It's good to remember her among other hardy Kansans of our past as our state turns 150.

1.75 stitches to the inch in stockinette stitch

Using tapestry needle seam cast on edge to bind off edge using mattress stitch. Weave in ends.
These Clare Vivier Foldover Clutches have been all over the fashion blogs. She must have one munificent publicity budget, is all I can say. That, and, would that yours truly was on the list. (I know, the leopard one, so cute, pass the smelling salts so we can get back to work.)
Back in the day, I carried a handsome leather envelope (no doubt stuffed into a backpack with a Norton anthology or two, a Russian dictionary, and three or four early 20th century American novels), thinking it was the height of chic. Still do, as a matter of fact, which is why I got busy using that good old Nake-id can-do spunk to knit up some cute right here at home.
And, because Polyvore is like playing with paper dolls (but a lot more work), we styled it using items normal ladies can afford. (OK, the bracelet is aspirational. But stunning, no?)
(Here's the scoop on the stuff: 1969 Destructed Sexy Boyfriend Jeans, Silver Bass Weejuns (similar here), Grey Silk Scarf, Women's Ultimate V Tee (on clearance!), Zoya Nail Polish in Blyss and that fabulous bracelet!)
Zip It Clutch
Transform one long stockinette rectangle into a classic clutch that will carry you from day to night. Play with color or add all-over fringe to amp up the coolness. Size: One Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted; 2 skeins of Charcoal Heather Needles: Size US 13 Notions: Tapestry needle, 12-inch zipper, 2 size 10 Dritz Sew-On Snaps Directions: CO 60, loosely, double-stranded.

Fold piece lengthwise in two. Sew both side seams.
Weave in all ends.
Insert zipper. (I used this tutorial here.)
Sew in snaps being sure to match "innies" with "outies".
For a little background: I was looking for an image that would say food and knitting, since these are the things I natter on about, and was delighted to find the above image from istockphoto.com.
Not that there's been a hue and cry--definitely more hue than cry--but there have been requests for the stocking cap pattern in my banner.
Eggs + watch cap--Get it food and knitting?
In my mind, though, the most successful image combining yarn and a meal was Karin's March 2009 cover for Yarn Market News. Scroll down to see the spaghetti and meatballs. Makes you want to tuck right in. And Berroco's fabulous knit beet is enough to inspire a summer's worth of roasted root salads.
But here we have our huevos. So when a request came in for the hat pattern, well, it was high time to design one. (Incidentally, an egg cozy--or cosy--is used to keep boiled eggs warm until one is ready to dine.)
Nake-id Stocking Cap Egg Cozy
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted, 1 skein, Blue Blood Red
Needles: Size 8 US, 32" circular or size 8 DPNs
Gauge: 20 sts in k1,p1 pattern = 4"

Decrease row 2: K2tog around--5 sts.
Finishing: Cut yarn leaving 8-inch tail. Thread tapestry needle through tail then pick up live stitches with tapestry needle and cinch closed. Weave in ends. Make and attach pom-pom.
Boil eggs. Enjoy!
Alpaca lace scarf on the rack
Alpaca lace scarf being subjected to really poor art direction
Would that our photography skills were better. But above you'll find a sumptuous Royal Baby Alpaca scarf made from one skein of Goosebump's natural black. The blocking wires served their purpose, though for this piece I might've been just as well served by smooshing, patting and cajoling. The instruction to "simply slip the wire through the edges of your lace project" took about 30 minutes of weaving and eyestrain, but it's done and soft like a kitten's belly.
Want the pattern? I used Babs' Track of the Turtle, version I from the Second Treasury.
Needles: US size 10
CO 23 stitches.
Knit six rows.
Start lace pattern below:
Row 1: (WS) K7, p9, k7.
Row 2: (RS) K4, p3, yo, k4, ssk, k3, p3, k4.
Row 3: Repeat row 1 for all odd numbered rows.
Row 4: K4, p3, k1, yo, k4, ssk, k2, p3, k4.
Row 6: K4, p3, k2, yo, k4, ssk, k1, p3, k4.
Row 8: K4, p3, k3, yo, k4, ssk, p3, k4.
Row 10: K4, p3, k3, k2tog, k4, yo, p3, k4.
Row 12: K4, p3, k2, k2tog, k4, yo, k1, p3, k4.
Row 14: K4, p3, k1, k2tog, k4, yo, k2, p3, k4.
Row 16: K4, p3, k2tog, k4, yo, k3, p3, k4.
Repeat rows 1-16 until you almost run out of yarn.
Knit 6 rows.
Block with care. But maybe not as much care as shown above.
It's a poncho, wrap, capelet, scarf-cum-schmata
Ponchos are so 2004, but I reach for this little garment again and again. Though it began life as a poncho, it "reads" as a wrap. Bunch it around your neck as a dramatic scarf or cover your shoulders when the early fall air begins to chill.
The Un-Poncho
Yarn: Fiesta Yarns Rayon Boucle in Onyx
Amount: 2 skeins
Needles: Size 9 US
CO loosely 56 sts.
Proceed in k3, p1 ribbing for 34 ins.
BO loosely.
Weave in ends. Bring short end of rectangle over to meet top of long side of rectangle and seam. (If your neck edge seems floppy, pick up stitches around neckline and bind off loosely for a more finished, tighter look.)
Wear with flair and an air of mystery.
To customize your garment, follow this formula:
If you are "afeared" of lace, these sexy mitts are a great starter project. Knit flat using the simple two-row "Stripe with Twisted Bars" pattern from Barbara Walker's second treasury, they whip up in a flash and look great peeking from underneath a simple cardigan or leather jacket.
Yarn: Sport weight (I used my own wonky handspun)
Amount: 100 yds
Needles: Size 6 US
Lace stitch is a multiple of 6 sts plus1.
Cast on 37 sts very loosely.
Row 1 (right side): K1, *yo, k1, k3 tog, k1, yo, k1; rep from *.
Row 2: P1, *k5, p1; rep from *.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 for 6.5 ins or until you reach desired length. BO loosely.
From CO edge using mattress st., seam mitt (about 4 ins.), leaving a 1.5-inch opening to accommodate thumb, continue seaming to BO edge.
Weave in ends. Add buttons to embellish. Wear with leather. And attitude.
In the continuing battle to update my Ravelry pages (nakeidknits), I'm going to offer free patterns on Wednesdays. (Wanna bet how long this'll last?)
Below you'll find a little bag I designed a few years ago. It may be a bit blingy in the post-novelty yarn era, but it's a jiff to knit and draws its share of compliments.
Herewith Audrey's Bag:
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Black; Trendsetter Aura in Charcoal
Amount: 1 skein each
Needles: Size 11 US
Cast on 40 sts.
Knit for 1 inch.
Self handle:
K15, bind off 10, K15.
(Knit both sides simultaneously) K15, attach second ball of yarn, K15. Repeat for four rows.
K15, cast on 15 using knitted cast on, K15.
Knit each row until you get double the depth of the bag you want. (Remember to account for the depth of the self handle on both sidesand for felting.)
Self handle:
Knit for 1 inch.
Bind off loosely.
Fold in half and seam sides. Felt lightly. (I slipped a slim dowel rod into the bottom of the bag to stiffen it. And trimmed the bag with a satin ribbon.)
Carry with aplomb.
This is a top I designed a few years back. Of course, I called it "Audrey," how could I not?
When I wore it last night I was reminded of its beautiful drape and forgiving silhouette. It's an easy, if not a quick knit, with waist shaping, a picot hem and boat neck dotted with eyelets. If you're feeling that Lilly Pulitzer vibe, swap out the organza ribbon for hot pink satin. Or a bright plaid.
I'm dredging it out to update my Ravelry pages.
Ruffles are for scrubbing. And just because.

Dharmakirti's Hetubindu
- Ernst Steinkellner, 2016
Dharmakīrti's Hetubindu: Critically edited by Ernst Steinkellner on the basis of preparatory work by Helmut Krasser with a translation of the Gilgit fragment by Klaus Wille. (STTAR 19.) Beijing, Vienna: China Tibetology Publishing House and Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, 2016 (order online). (123 S.)
The Hetubindu, composed by the Buddhist philosopher and logician Dharmakīrti during his middle period (around 600 CE), develops further, with succinct formulations and elaborations on the formal structures and essential elements, his theory of logical reason and inference as he had presented it in the work of his youth, which later became the first chapter, on inference, of the Pramāṇavārttika together with an explanatory Vṛtti, and was refined in the second chapter of his Pramāṇaviniścaya. In the Hetubindu, a treatise of pure logic, he further enriched his ideas in three digressions: an analysis of his teacher Īśvarasena's theorem of the reason with six characteristics, an epistemological examination of negative cognition and a demonstration of its applicability as a logical reason, and an extensive presentation of the possibilities, by investigating causality, for determining the nexus in the case of the proof of the momentariness of all entities.
The original Sanskrit text of the Hetubindu was still considered lost when, in 1967, Ernst Steinkellner critically edited its Tibetan translation, reconstructed a Sanskrit text on the basis of fragments, various testimonies and Arcaṭa's commentary extant in Sanskrit, and prepared an annotated German translation. But nearly two decades later, in 1985, a unique Sanskrit manuscript of the text was discovered by Luo Zhao at the Potala in Lhasa. After almost another two decades, through a cooperation agreement between the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the China Tibetology Research Center, Beijing, a photographic copy of this manuscript could finally be accessed in 2004. The editorial work of this Sanskrit manuscript was entrusted to Helmut Krasser, who prepared a first transliteration and a preliminary critical edition. Regrettably he was unable to finish the task due to a lengthy grave illness; he passed away in March 2014. Steinkellner subsequently revised Krasser's work, provided an analytical survey and an introduction. Thanks to Klaus Wille he was also able to add, together with the latter's transliteration, photos of the Gilgit fragment, the oldest testimony of this jewel of Indian logical thought.

The Shout Over Towel Diapers: Is the Eco-Payoff Actually Worth the Effort?
I have 2 kids. I did not towel diaper them, neither did I attempt that removal communication thing where you aim to translate your child's different facial expressions in order to appropriately predict when you should hold their naked base over a mixing bowl that you will presumably never ever once more utilize for food preparation objectives. If I approximate we underwent an average of 6 diapers a day for each youngster, that's a total amount of 8,760 disposable diapers I sent to land fills during the very first two years of their lives.
The grand total amount is more compared to that, naturally, since I do not remember either one of my young boys supplanting their 2nd birthday celebration by all of a sudden determining to be potty trained.
We are well past the diaper phase now and I have precisely no strategies to review it ever before again, excepting extreme unforeseen situations like having to own cross-country to confront an enchanting competitor or holding an 11-hour filibuster, but my initiatives to lead an extra environmentally friendly lifestyle have led me to wonder: if I had to do it throughout once again, would I use towel this moment?
I'll be honest, I never also considered it when my youngsters were little bit, since it appeared like a lot of added job. I wasn't also interested in educating myself on the subject, disposables simply seemed like the way to go.
I Will certainly Never ever Live Without Paper Towels (however Do not Inform Anyone).
Fabric diapering appears to have returned in fashion lately, many thanks to easier bolts and also super-cute materials. I have actually long thought that the pattern of showing off cute infant butts swaddled in captivating patterns has actually resulted in a boost in the number of individuals who urge that fabric diapering is better for the atmosphere. Besides, who doesn't enjoy to back up their parenting options with the cozy feeling of self-righteousness? When it comes to whether that insurance claim is proper, well … it's a little hard to definitively state one method or the various other.
There's no doubt that non reusable diapers develop a LOT of waste.
Around 27.4 billion non reusable diapers are utilized each year in the USA, causing a feasible 3.4 million lots of made use of diapers added to landfills every year. One research study estimates that the $7 billion buck disposable diaper industry uses over 300 extra pounds of timber, 50 pounds of petroleum feedstocks, and 20 pounds of chlorine for every child per year.
Those numbers seem jaw-droppingly terrible, up until you think about that cloth diapering additionally has an adverse affect on the setting. Cloth baby diapers consume large amounts of power and also water for cleaning as well as drying, as well as business baby diaper solution delivery trucks take in fuel and create air pollution.
Well, but just what concerning those toxins in disposable diapers, the ones some individuals state can leach from land fills to contaminate ground water?
According to the EPA:.
Disposable baby diapers fall under the group of municipal strong waste, which indicates the material is risk-free to be thrown away in an U.S. community strong waste land fill. In the United States, contemporary garbage dumps are well-engineered facilities that are located, developed, run, and monitored to make sure compliance with federal policies which intend to shield the atmosphere from pollutants which could be present in the solid waste stream.
Spend just a couple of mins diving down Google's various educational rabbit-holes, as well as you can discover hundreds of arguments both for as well as against towel baby diapers, along with extensive researches that ultimately resulted in a kind of sophisticated shrug from the specialists.
" Disposables eat more basic materials and also create even more strong waste … yet fabric diaper manufacturing as well as use eat more water as well as power and also generate more … climatic exhausts and waste water effluent," writes Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Protection Council.

And then theres this concerning Baby diapers:.
" Both the disposable as well as multiple-use diaper options develop solid waste and wastewater that should be treated and/or gotten rid of. More strong waste is created with the disposal alternative, while even more wastewater is created with the reusable alternative," composes Jeremy O'Brien, director of used research at the Solid Waste Association of The United States and Canada.
Darned if you do, damned if you do not. Possibly that blending dish isn't such a negative suggestion.

So how's a parent intended to look through all the various point of views in order to make the environmentally-friendly option?
I aren't sure that there's a one-size-fits-all answer to the fantastic baby diaper discussion.
My individual feeling is that towel is the far better alternative for those devoted to living eco-friendly, considered that you can do points like line completely dry the textiles, acquire energy effective home appliances, laundry on cold, and so forth. A three-year study by the London-based Environmental Firm ended that there was "no significant distinction" between the environmental impact of towel and disposable baby diapers– yet they do clarify that steps could be required to lower the influence of cloth diapering:.
The ecological impacts of using shaped reusable baby diapers can be greater or less than making use of disposables, depending on just how they are washed. As opposed to using disposable diapers, it is consumers' behavior after purchase that identifies the majority of the influences from reusable diapers.
Despite our finest rate of interests, disposables just obtain thrown in the trash, and also there's no way around that. It's not even recognized exactly how long it takes for a non reusable diaper to break down.
I feel like I've come around to thinking that towel diapering is the a lot more accountable decision– as well as the less expensive one over the lengthy term– however would I walk the walk? I have extremely difficult memories of those very early parenting days, and I'm not sure that I would certainly have been able to dedicate to towel. Exhausted as well as anxious and also, you recognize, rather much currently drowning under a mountain of laundry.
But possibly I would have, if I 'd spent time right into taking into consideration the choices before me instead of thoughtlessly opting for just what seemed most convenient.
