2014 was easily the easily the biggest and most successful year of Lower Than Atlantis so far – it saw them release their top 20 self-titled album, head out on a headline tour and support tour with A Day To Remember, and play Reading and Leeds. Is there any way they could top that? Well, it might be difficult, but heading out on their biggest headline tour to date across the UK and Ireland is some step of the way, especially considering every show was sold out and several dates had to be upgraded, as much as three times over.
Later this week we'll be posting our interview with Declan and Ben of the band, as well as one with Jack of We Are The Ocean. Back when both bands were in their earlier days, Lower Than Atlantis had headed out on tour as support to We Are The Ocean, so seeing this reversed several years down the line held a touch of sentimentality among the two smashing performances. Opening for the pair were PVRIS (pronounced "Paris"), rock electronicas making their UK debut, a real one to watch.
Set for the release in the imminent future, We Are The Ocean's ARK would seem set to explode the band much the way the headliners did last year, with a tight, clean show to back up their music. Only a marginal lull in the show came from a guitar tech issue, which in turn allowed the band to come back as melodic and determined as ever. Mixing up the show with a few (pretty funky) as of yet unreleased tracks, and closing on well known The Road, Young Heart and The Waiting Room, the band proved their back and ready to make their mark on the year.
If you've ever been to a Lower Than Atlantis show, you'll be well aware that the tracks don't sound exactly as they do in the studio versions – this is no criticism, 'cause if you've just gone along to see how the songs performed exactly, well… why? The impassioned and comfortable performances Lower Than Atlantis deliver add an in-the-moment feeling that live music should bring. Take, for example, strutting on to the Star Wars theme tune, and bursting straight into Criminal – though half a verse seemed to be skipped, it's as much about the energy as the technical accuracy.
A solid performance of Love Someone Else followed suit, with the audience more than pulling their weight when it came to chanting along. Technical issues plagued the next few songs, and at moments only Eddy Thrower's (drums) determination and a ridiculously enthusiastic crowd seemed to pull the set along. After a slightly hesitant Stays The Same, the band got themselves back on the straight and narrow for a top notch rendition of Emily, a consistently well-executed track.
Fan favourite Ain't No Friend jerked a massive reaction from the crowd, even from the opening electronica seconds, and the line between mosh pits and rave tent became somewhat blurred. A few "cheesy" words from frontman Mike Duce, a manic circle pit and a pumped up English Kids In America later, and the snowballing power of the show seemed on a level impossible to stop. Words Don't Come So Easily evoked an overpowering vocal effort from the crowd. Deadliest Catch proved the old work can still come out as strong as the newer tracks and then.. rather simply, they left the stage.
With hardly time for an encore, Mike and co returned to take the piss out of the "leave and reenter" trick, and to sing happy birthday to several lucky fans by the barrier. And then, probably widely accepted as the most memorable moment of the show, Mike parted the crowd and took to the floor for an acoustic (well, plugged in, but semi-acoustic) performance of best known Another Sad Song. Safe to say, he and the crowd carried the song in equal parts, and the room became filled with recording devices.
Recognising a member of the crowd and getting a photo with the sold out room added to the down to earth attitude of the quartet, before ("the security aren't going to like this") a crowd surfing worthy Beech Like The Tree and a manic Here We Go wound the night to a close.
Yes, they might not be as technically, painfully technically perfect as your friendly neighbourhood manufactured boy band, but Lower Than Atlantis will give you a bloody good time at their show. Remaining tour dates below.
17 Dublin Academy
18 Belfast Queens SU
20 Bristol Marble Factory

Last year, the Needham baseball team suffered through as rough a season as a club could. This year, the rejuvenated Rockets have orchestrated a remarkable reversal in form, even though they remain unranked and under the radar as far as the Boston newspapers are concerned.
Last year, the Needham baseball team suffered through as rough a season as a club could. This year, the rejuvenated Rockets have orchestrated a remarkable reversal in form, even though they remain unranked and under the radar as far as the Boston newspapers are concerned.
As of this writing, the underrated Rockets, with a 3-2 win over Milton, have just clinched a coveted spot in the postseason tournament, where they may very well sneak up on a couple of teams. In fact, even though I may be a little bit biased, from what I have seen this season, our local lads stand a good chance of taking any of the highly touted teams in the tournament. On Friday, the Rockets will have an opportunity to prove that when they host Catholic Memorial, which has been ranked either at or near the top in the Boston media since the beginning of the season. The Knights have been led lately by the hot hitting of Needhamite Travis Jonasson.
Credit for much of the Needham success this season goes to veteran coach John Freitas and rock captains Will Everts and Sam Kelly. Everts, one of the best pitchers in the Bay State Conference, is also one of the best-hitting hurlers. Kelly is a sure-handed shortstop with an accurate arm, and the left-handed hitter at the top of the order can beat you with a bunt or an extra base hit.
Coach Freitas has been pressing the right buttons this year, and the principled mentor even found time in his busy schedule to travel to Franklin recently to speak before the Mass. Interscholastic Athletic Council in support of wooden bats.
Other pitchers who have contributed greatly to the cause this season have been Matt Dunn, Mike Libertini, Dave Cotugno, Drew Roy (also a hard-hitting outfielder) and Tucker Healy (the Rockets' answer to Dick Radatz).
Other strong contributors to the comeback-of-the-year club have been Spencer Gierts, Alex Nectow, Dan Falby, Danny Arnao, Joey Heres, Rich Mazzola, Charlie McCann, Trevor Davis, Silas Wong, Bobby Atkinson and Paul Moses.
Assisting head coach Freitas this season have been a former outstanding Rocket, Ben Maki, and John's right-hand man, Mike Taggart.
Regarding tomorrow's game against Catholic Memorial High School, it will be played at 3:45 p.m., on Babson College's beautiful baseball field. Unfortunately, for this year it will be the last real-baseball high school game, i.e., a game played with wooden bats. For the postseason tournament, which the MIAA proclaims is pro-choice, is a "de facto" metal bat tournament. For competitive reasons, even the teams that use wood during the regular season will use metal bats in the tourney because that's what their opponents will be using.
This is a statement made with a straight face recently to the MIAA Board of Directors: "Metal bats perform just like wooden bats" — sure they do.
Faith and fitness
Periodically we recommend current sports books to our fellow townsmen. Today we suggest two for your reading pleasure: "Playing with God — Religion and Modern Sport" by William J. Baker, and "Faith and Fitness — Diet and Exercise for a Better World" by Tom P. Hafer.
About his book, Baker states, "As sports promoters seek publicity and lively attendance at their events, and as churches seek wholesome activities and a podium for their message, their marriage seems made in America."
"Faith nights" at minor league baseball games is just one of the recent manifestations of how religion and sports often go hand-in-hand and how sports interaction with religion continues to be a popular dance.
In "Faith and Fitness" Hafer, a registered physical therapist and a certified athletic trainer who also holds a master's degree in religion, would seem to be eminently qualified to write on this subject.
"When we consider our desire for better health or weight loss," Hafer writes, "let us clear our minds of old ideas and struggles — hungry, thirsty, open and broken — and go from there."
Readers will find in his book an abundance of wisdom and healthful advice on the topics of nutrition and exercise, which will be of value to all of us. So, for those who feel a need to shape up, physically and spiritually, "Faith and Fitness" may be the book for you.
Quote for the week
"Baseball is a dull game only for those who have dull minds." — Red Smith.

A group from Christ Church attended 'Naturally Supernatural' (formerly Momentum) from 22nd – 27th July in Stafford. This is an annual residential for students and young adults (18-30) but is now open to the whole church. Throughout the week there are talks, seminars, social activities around the site, and plenty of opportunity for fellowship.
This event is really good at empowering young adults and releasing them to be stronger disciples in their communities. It was at this event in 2016 that we felt God calling us as a church to do more work with students.

The eighth and final episode of season one of HBO's new hit, True Detective, airs Sunday night at 9 p.m. The show has captivated fans with its whodunit plotline and the Internet is abuzz with theories and speculation. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, who was born in New Orleans, said that if one were to Google the words "Satanism," "preschool," and "Lousiana," he could possibly piece together the ending of the season. What some research reveals is that the first season of True Detective appears to be loosely based on an actual Louisiana sex abuse case that dates back to 2005.
The Hosana Church of Tangipahoa Parish was once a fast growing congregation that neared 1,000 members and supported schools for area children. From the shared Louisiana setting and the similarities between Reverend Lee Tuttle and his "Light of Way Academy" and the Hosana Church and its school system, it is apparent that Pizzolatto based True Detective on the actual case.
In the early 2000's the congregation dwindled in numbers, leaving a handful of members and the church closed in 2003. In 2005, the small town of Ponchatoula, with a population of 6,000, was shocked by the news that a cult formed by the leaders of the Hosana Church was involved in a child sex abuse scandal that involved devil worshipping and occult rituals in which cat blood was used.
On May 16, 2005, Louis Lamonica, the former pastor of the Hosanna Church, walked into the sheriff's office and confessed to the occult rituals, which included having sex with children and animals. According to his hour-long confession that was played to jurors in his 2008 trial, Lamonica said the cult began in 2000 with the dedication of a baby girl to Satan. In the dedication ritual, a cat was mutilated, the baby was placed in a pentagram, and the baby was splashed with the cat's blood. "Then we stopped worshipping God and worshipped Satan," Lamonica confessed.
Lamonica was charged with four counts of aggravated rape of his sons when they were 11-years-old or younger. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Another six cult members were indicted in the case, including a deputy sheriff, and the charges asserted that during the rituals, as many as 25 children, both boys and girls, ranging from the ages of 1 to 16 were sexually abused.
Police seized a dozen computers that were believed to contain child pornography, dozens of videotapes, and hundreds of computer disks and photographs. Inside the old church compound, police discovered pentagrams inscribed on the floor. The property is now abandoned and marked off with yellow police tape.
Many of the details of the case, except for the sexual contact with animals, coincide with the plot through seven episodes of True Detective, while many others have been hinted at. In the show, the religious organization appears to cover up for a group of criminals who are preying on young children and have been for years. Matthew McConnaughey's character, Rust Cohle, seems to also suspect that even police could be involved, as a deputy sheriff was in the Lamonica case. But the viewers do not have all the answers yet. They will have to watch the finale on Sunday night to see how close True Detective comes to the actual Louisiana case. As Cohle said in an early episode, life is "a dream about being a person. And then like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it."

Winners Join Amway?
In many games or sporting events, there will be someone or a team that wins the game and someone or a team that loses the game. Losing a game doesn't make you a loser and certainly, a team that wins the game would not say the losing team were losers. Can you imagine a pro football team's coach taking the podium after a game and saying his team won because the other team was a bunch or broke minded gutless losers? That would never happen, yet we see that frequently in the Amway world. The owner of Amway, Rich DeVos had once said in a recorded message that just because people do not agree with you (paraphrased) about Amway, does not make them losers and that IBOs should not call people losers.
In all of this, people's jobs are also criticized. That a job stands for "just over broke" or "jackass of the boss" and other blurbs. Many IBO's goals and dreams consist of ditching their job so they can sleep all day and live a life of luxury. Ironically, it is most IBO's jobs that continue to produce income so they can pay their bills and feed their family. It is also an IBO's job that funds their Amway and AMO expenses such as product purchases and functions and voicemail, etc. Without having a job, most people could not even join Amway or pay for any tools. Sadly, most IBOs won't make any money in Amway either, and will have to continue to work at their jobs. I do not believe that someone earning an honest living working a job is a loser. Ironically, the folks calling people losers are often not even netting a profit from their Amway business!
Yes, in this business or the sports world, there will be winners and there will be losers. The question is whether you are the one who is allowed to be the judge of who is and who isn't. I would also suggest that IBOs are completely shutting down potential future business by their behavior. What if I went to a store to purchase something but the item was not available on that particular day, so I don't purchase anything and leave. As I leave, the store owner says I am a loser for not buying something there. Will I go back? Very unlikely. If an IBO truly sees themselves as a store owner, all prospects should be seen as potential business, whether future or present. If your upline tells you that people not interested are losers, you should kick him where the sun doesn't shine.
Only winners join Amway? Think again!

From what you mentioned, and from some things I've read on other blogs, I get the impression that Rich De Vos is somewhat depressed and annoyed about the way that his Amway business has developed over the last few decades. Oh sure, he's happy about being rich. But the sick, cultish turn that Amway has taken under crackpots like Dexter Yager and others seems to have turned him off. De Vos can't do anything about it now, since the Amway empire is firmly rooted in these totalitarian, cultish, mind-controlling methods. But maybe this is not what De Vos had in mind in the early days. Perhaps he and his partner sincerely wanted to build a business that gave ordinary people a chance to gain financial freedom.
When my cousin was trying to get me into Amway back in 1971, he played a tape for me from one of those big meetings. The two founders were still alive. I don't recall now if it was De Vos or Van Andel who spoke, but here's what was said. The speaker told of a case where a distributor (that's what they were called back then) had recruited someone to be in "the Plan." This distributor had also convinced his new recruit to buy $5000 worth of Amway products, so that he and his sponsor could immediately "go Direct." I'm not sure what that means, but it probably was like becoming what they call a Platinum now.
Anyhow, the speaker said that he had found out about this scam, and went to see the new recruit. He was shocked to see the poor man's garage packed with $5000 worth of Amway products that would probably take years to sell. The speaker then said "I called a delivery service, I had them pack up all of those products, and I had them sent straight back C.O.D. to the distributor who had talked the poor guy into buying all of it! And I called that distributor up and said if he ever tried to pull a stunt like that again, he'd be out of Amway in a flash! In this business, you cannot take advantage of an inexperienced down-line recruit!"
Maybe it was De Vos, or maybe it was Van Andel who was the speaker. I can't remember now. But I wonder if anybody in the company would raise an eyebrow nowadays if a distributor abused his down-line in this fashion.

If you google. "Amway directly speaking DeVos", you can find a transcript or a video of Devos in 1983 declaring that the "tools" are a pyramid scam. But when he tried to implement a clean up, the big pins like Britt called a boycott of Amway products and Amway sales fell. Apparently, DeVos caved in and the tool companies thrived.
Amway did some cosmetic changes to at least try to rein in some abuses but the thing that made a difference was the 2004 Dateline expose' on Amway.

If devos was serious he would have kicked the guy out straight away
- September 28, 2015 at 11:00 PM
In Amway, everything is money. Those bigshot diamonds would pimp out their own sisters if it brought in an extra dime of revenue.

Yep, the diamonds worship money and will do anything to get it.

Our House Where Nobody Lives
What do the songs "House Where Nobody Lives" by Tom Waits and "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have in common, outside of being songs about homes? Well, some 3D modelers in India decided to design the houses, and make them available for viewing online. In other words, you can see the "house where nobody lives," and then take a look at "our house."
Who knew they had a thing for Tom Waits in India?

There have been six editions of the Pitcairn Postcard Magazine, published between 1998 and 2010. The Pitcairn Postcard Catalogue was originally a small black and white printed edition. For such a specialised publication, the move into full colour, and also the increase in the actual amount of information included, made it far too expensive to produce as a printed volume so it is now being produced in pdf format.

The old Pitcairn Church
It never ceases to amaze me that old Pitcairn postcards are still being discovered. I knew of the very rare "HGK" postcard of the two storey Pitcairn church (shown above, top, catalogued as H4) and didn't expect to find another card with a similar view. However, one was recently sold on eBay for the quite amazing sum of US$386.00. This appears to be a postcard that has been produced in more than one copy, so have a look carefully in the dealers boxes at Postcard Fairs . . . you never know your luck!

When I got this month's new My Savior stamp set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps, I couldn't wait to color the image. I wanted to put into my Bible and journal it, but I am a little chicken to ink up my Bible pages directly… So I "cheated". As I have done before when faced with this predicament, I inked it up on deli paper. (not the shiny waxy side).Then I colored it with my Polychromos colored pencils (really any colored pencils will work, I just love how these let me layer and shade.) I decided I wanted to color his robes in gray tones so the Earth would pop out a bit more.
Then I fussy cut it out and tried to plan out my page.
I used clear gesso on my page, brushed on a light layer of distress ink for the grass and the sky, inked my words and glued the image down with a very thin coat of YES glue on a paint brush.
This image is holding the Earth shaped like a heart and is carrying a cross reminding me of his sacrifice for me. My verse is 1 John 4:9-10 and it tells me that God loves me so much he sent his only Son to be my Savior, My Friend, My Redeemer – I am so blessed to be loved SO MUCH! The rest of the verse reminds us that if God can love us so much, we can do no less than to love one another. That is something to think on this week (and every week actually).
1 John 4:9-10 (ESV)
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a blessed day!

Remembered: When Frank Lampard rang into LBC radio, gave presenter more than he bargained for
James O'Brien certainly wasn't expecting the England midfielder to call in and defend himself after accusations of letting down his children
Lampard, who has announced his retirement from football aged 38, called into O'Brien's LBC show in April 2009 after the radio host commented on newspaper reports that his former partner and the mother of his children, Elen Rivas, had accused him of being "heartless" by making them move to a small flat while he enjoyed a batchelor lifestyle in their old house.
As emotions ran high, Lampard clearly had plenty to say. In his 2013 One-on-One career reflective with FourFourTwo, Chelsea's record goalscorer admitted he couldn't sit back and listen while O'Brien talked about his private life.
"I have never spoken to him since," Lampard told FFT. "It comes with the territory in football that you get some intrusion into your private life, but I couldn't accept anyone talking about my family and my kids. I have a good conscience on that.
"So when someone was saying I wasn't around and not looking after my kids I had to ring in the show. I know Jamie Carragher phoned into Talksport, and it is good to do that, because it challenges people's perceptions."

Damon Vrabel does have a plan. He outlines it in his talk on Sovereign Money
that is, money issued by our own government rather than by a banking cartel (The Federal Reserve Bank). He recognizes it would be difficult to pull off but offers steps that we can begin to take now:
1. Pull money from the Big Banks. Use local credit unions.
2. As much as possible, stop doing business with multi-national corporations.
3. Turn off the TV which continually feeds us information provided by the folks at the top of the pyramid.
4. Get active with our local governments: city, county, state. Make them do their jobs.
5. Push states to reactivate the state banking system.
6. Start a Transition Town.
7. Get involved at the precinct level.
8. Reconnect with the local community; develop self-sufficiency.
9. Don't vote in the Federal show; spend political energies locally.
You can keep up with Damon Vrabel by following his blog.

I was driving to work and my stomach growled. I was excited, I was looking forward to getting to work, to sitting down at my desk, sipping my coffee, catching up on the latest news and emails before grabbing something to eat.
Two things occurred to me.
1.) That I was hungry. This is not such a big thing to most people, but for me who used to be huge snacker at night, I would often still feel full in the morning. Which is not what you're supposed to be like. So feeling hungry in the morning is always somewhat satisfying because it means I did well the night before and it is now time to start a new day on track.
2.) That I have always looked forward to breakfast. Breakfast is probably my most looked forward to meal of the day (does that make sense??). It is easy, uncomplicated, delicious and there are so many options which are so healthy for you, so it is hard to go wrong so early in the day.
This of course got me thinking about my mother, or rather the fact that in the last year she has just started to train herself to eat breakfast in the morning. My mother is the opposite to me. She rarely eats, often eating dinner and that it is it (until recently, as I said she now eats breakfast). She likes wine, nuts and raisins and her ice coffee, and the occasional hot chips. But she rarely rarely eats anything else bad, by that I mean junk food, chocolate, chips, ice cream, cookies etc etc She can go weeks on end without being tempted.
Anyways I am getting off topic. So back to breakfast.
I struggle to understand the people, like my mother, that do not eat breakfast. For me it is one of the best moments of the day.
Since starting my weight loss journey, breakfast has become even more important. If I start the day off well, I usually set myself up for the rest of the day. If I don't, well it doesn't take long before I'm thinking of all sorts of foods that I shouldn't have.
Do you eat breakfast? What do you eat that sets you up for the day? If not, why not?
During the week I often have weatbix with fruit and rice milk. On the weekends I will either have cereal or eggs on toast, depending on how much time I have. But I always eat breakfast, as I said if I don't, I essentially can throw the day away. Such a simple thing, but so so simple!
Is there a meal that you look forward too more than anything? Or does eating/not eating breakfast affect you as much as it does me?
This blog is about my weight loss journey, the ups and downs, the cool things and the sad things that I discover about myself as I work towards my goal of losing 35kg.

By the numbers, her work is impressive – 661 citations of scholarship, 52 peer-reviewed publications, eight editorials and book chapters and more than 160 presentations. But beyond the significant volume of published work, she is an accomplished teacher as well. Last year, she won the Charles B. Murphy Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award, Purdue University's highest undergraduate teaching honor.
In the early 1990s as faculty at smaller schools looked for ways to increase student involvement in physical chemistry, Towns became a part of the Physical Chemistry Online (PCOL) community. The materials developed by the group with NSF funding resulted in 12 multi-week projects based on collaborative learning in an online environment. Her efforts led to guidelines for faculty facilitating online interactions.
"Our research group investigates the factors that affect how students learn chemistry," said Towns, who is currently studying student goals for labs across the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. "There is a lot of criticism of 'cookbook laboratories' that present everything to the students and lead them through the lab step by step. The students don't get to make choices about questions to ask, data collection, how it's to be analyzed or how to interpret it."
Town's groundbreaking research on undergraduate chemistry laboratories has resulted in new ways to classify individual experiments based upon student engagement. As a result, the method is widely used across all science disciplines. It has also helped faculty define the goals they want to accomplish in laboratory classes.
Towns said her years at Linfield College directly impacted her career, explaining that her favorite class, differential equations taught by Professor Emeritus Roger Dell, provided the foundation for her future research. She also took rigorous classes from her father, Drannan Hamby, professor emeritus of physics and chemistry.
"The faculty and experiences I had at Linfield College fostered a love for learning, which grew into a love for teaching and helping others to learn," she said. "I am fortunate to have been inspired by outstanding faculty who stoked an intellectual fire that has not dimmed since I graduated."
Now, in her role as director of general chemistry at Purdue, she is modeling the department after Linfield's student-centered approach. Her mentorship techniques are also a reflection of her Linfield experience.
"I knew my professors, and there was a lot of encouragement to do well and go out and make a difference in the world," she said. "I try to do the same for my own students. I give a lot of advice about study skills, internships and encouragement. I want to get to know them, their families, their hopes and dreams."
Ray Olson '54 – Alumni Service Award
Ray Olson '54 of Vancouver, Wash., has been a Linfield College supporter for decades – both financially and through his leadership.
In 1998, he organized the first of many reunion luncheons in honor of Paul Durham, renowned Linfield football coach and athletic director. Olson personally wrote the invitations, made the site selection, planned the menus, and organized every detail of the banquet planning. The lunches continued for 11 years and were attended annually by approximately 100 coaches, athletes, professors and friends of Durham. A 2007 edition of the Honolulu Star Bulletin reported that "…the honor that meant most to Durham was the annual summer gathering of former players in McMinnville…"
The lunch group was responsible for funding the $30,000 Mike Barrow Room in the Nicholson Library. In addition, Olson videoed during each lunch and ultimately created a video, "Apples Don't Fall Far From the Tree." The video, archived in the Linfield Nicholson Library, is a complete visual history of the Paul Durham era reported by those who lived it, and a testament to Olson's commitment to the preservation of the "Linfield Way." An accomplished videographer, Olson is the creator of "Blaze Kid Warrior," the story of a girl fighting ALS that appeared on PBS.
In 1999, Olson established the Paul Durham Endowment Fund and served as primary fundraiser for the account until it reached $70,000. In 2012, after the legendary fictitious character Ooney Gagen donated $10,000 and challenged others to increase the fund to $100,000, Olson led "Team Durham" to surpass Ooney's challenge. The fund is now over $170,000.
Most recently, Olson worked with a number of alumni to create a statue honoring Durham. The eight-foot bronze, created by Northwest sculptor Heather Greene of Soderberg Gallery and Studio, weighs about 750 pounds and is located near the Health, Human Performance and Athletics building. The group raised more than $70,000 to complete the project.
Daniel Roth '00 – Outstanding Young Alumnus
Dan Roth '00 of Alexandria, Va., is committed to public service.
An international business graduate and active member of the Linfield College forensics team, Roth began his career as the campaign manager for Professor Emeritus Frank Nelson, who ran for the Oregon House of Representatives in 2000. He went on to work as a legislative assistant for two California Assembly members and the chief of staff for a Sacramento city council member. Now communications director for Rep. Karen Bass of California, Roth said his liberal arts education prepared him for work in politics.
He has been involved with several major issues including reforming California's charter school system while working in the state legislature to helping to lead the effort at Sacramento City Hall to build a teen center for low-income youth in a working-class neighborhood where they now have a safe place for after-school tutoring and mentoring. He is currently working nationally to elevate the voices of the more than 400,000 young people who are a part of the nation's foster care system to ensure that members of Congress don't forget their unique needs as they craft public policy.
Roth utilizes strong Linfield communication skills to advance the depth and breadth for issues confronting his team. In one year, he scheduled more than 50 national television interviews for Rep. Bass, ranging from an interview with a foster youth who she was hosting on Capitol Hill to the BBC on Boko Haram's kidnapping of more than 200 young girls.
Two very different areas of study at Linfield – forensics and accounting – have merged into vital components of Roth's career. Speech and debate enabled Roth to think very quickly and effectively inform and persuade in a short amount of time. His accounting classes taught him about budgets.
"If you want to really understand an organization, look at its budget," he said. "The budget is the most important document that the Congress or the state legislature will pass, and Linfield taught me how to read and understand budgets."
He uses persuasion skills honed at Linfield to form coalitions and find common ground with unlikely allies. For example, Roth led the communication effort for the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, a bipartisan coalition of more than 140 members of Congress dedicated to improving the nation's child welfare system. There, he was responsible for a wide range of communication tasks, from producing a media kit, social media posts and sample press releases for the members in the caucus to booking for foster youth as well as Dr. Phil, a television talk show host, when he testified on Capitol Hill about over medication of psychotropic drugs to foster youth.
One of the most rewarding parts of Roth's job is empowering people who need a voice to tell their stories. He regularly pitches stories to media outlets, and said personal narratives are critical to changing the public's view of vulnerable people.
"There are almost 400,000 young people in the foster care system – more people than live in New Orleans – but these young people are often ignored and neglected," he said. "Enabling them to tell their stories is crucial to crafting public policy that will benefit them."
Maria Stuart – Walker Service Award
Maria Stuart of McMinnville first encountered the Northwest wine community, and her future husband, in 1990 while attending the International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) at Linfield College.
Fast-forward a few years, and Stuart and her husband, Rob, own R. Stuart & Co. Winery in McMinnville, where she is the director of marketing, direct sales, public relations and hospitality. In addition to her role at the winery, Stuart has been a powerful advocate for Linfield.
Stuart, a strong proponent of the liberal arts education, is a member of the Linfield College Business Advisory Council, a group of alumni, community members and faculty charged with providing the Department of Business with professional, external program reviews and strategic direction. She has employed numerous Linfield graduates and speaks to students who are considering careers in the wine industry.
"I take every opportunity to mentor students and connect them to business leaders in the community," said Stuart, who served as executive director of IPNC for three years, and is the incoming president of the IPNC board. "I'm passionate about mentoring young people. I want to help them become accomplished in the business world. As a society, it's our obligation to help grow these young people into accomplished individuals."
The R. Stuart & Co. Wine Bar has been the event site for a number of wine tasting events held during Family Weekend. A proud supporter of Linfield, Stuart represents the college well in the greater McMinnville community and to the many tourists who visit the winery. She said she's pleased about the development of Linfield's wine education program.
"The wine industry is a huge contributor to the economic picture in Oregon," she said. "If we can educate students ready to come into that field, there will be more and more opportunities for them. It's a mutual benefit for Linfield and the wine community."
Stuart is also the author of "The Life and Times of a Pinot Mom," a blog about food, life and the wine business (www.pinotmom.com). Her son will attend Linfield in the fall.

Glimmr Simple Graphics Window
version 1/100805 by Erik Temple
- Section: Including Glimmr Simple Graphics Window in your project
- Section: Basic Usage
- Section: Using GSGW with Glimmr Graphic Hyperlinks
- Section: Using GSGW with Glimmr Canvas-Based Drawing
- Section: Debugging
- Section: Contact info
- Example: * Ramrod - This simple example illustrates the use of GSGW on its own, without any of the other Glimmr extensions. The example includes a drawing rule that centers an image (specified using the "current image" variable) in the graphics-window. If the image is too large to fit in the window, it will be scaled down.
Glimmr Simple Graphics Window creates a very basic graphics window. It can be used in any Flexible Windows project, but will be extended with special capabilities when used with Glimmr Canvas-Based Drawing or Glimmr Graphic Hyperlinks. The extension is probably most useful for quick prototyping and testing, though it can also be used quite easily for any game that needs at least one graphics window. Glimmr Simple Graphics Window (GSGW) will not be listed in a game's credits.

Mikuni TM40 Carb Rebuild Question
I am accustomed to purchasing rebuild kits before tearing carbs down. I am having trouble finding a kit for this carb. Do these carbs rarely need rebuilding or what? Is this an uncommon Carb? Should I Upgrade?
Mikuni flat slide rack carbs?
They are very common and a very good carb. Alls u really need to do is pop the bowl off. Make sure u use a good correct size Phillips head on the lone screw, and spin the drain plug off. Take the main, pilot (careful of springs and washers) and starter jet off. Choke plunger out, fuel screw and crab cleaner through everything.
The bowl gasket is o-ring like and easily re-usable. The plastic float assembly isnt really adjustable, just make sure needle holds pressure.
Thats it. Shouldn't need to go further

Yeah, unfortunately, they don't have a carb kit like you'd find with a common automotive carb. Not sure why since it'd be nice to be able to refresh all the rubber pieces. You can get the pieces through Polaris, but they're expensive.
The TM40 was fairly common on snowmobiles, Polaris used them on the 700s and 800s, several other makes used them too. It's hit or miss whether they need new pieces or not; given the prices, I'd say the best approach is the tear the carb down and see what things look like. If the rubber pieces are intact and not completely hardened up, you should be good to reuse them. A regular cleaning should be all that's necessary (especially if you avoid ethanol) until the pieces start showing signs of distress.
There aren't any upgrades, practically speaking; changing carbs around on 2-strokes, while possible, isn't as straightforward as an old small block.

Federal regulators have received about 14 complaints about sticky accelerators on Ford Taurus models, according to an announcement issued by the National Highway Safety Administration. The investigation may lead to a recall. Safety regulators say that the 2005 and 2006 model years are implicated, an estimated 360,000 cars in total.
Consumers have complained that accelerators are sticking and that they are not able to stop the vehicles unless they turn the car off, which is also dangerous. No injuries have been reported at this time, although some of the complaints indicate close calls.
Recalls are a tool used by regulators to help prevent car accidents in the case of a dangerous defect in a particular type of car. The auto manufacturer also makes the Mercury Sable, which is nearly identical but is not being investigated at this time.
Several drivers have reported that part of the problem is that the brakes do not stop the car when the accelerator sticks. One driver reported speeding through an intersection at about 70 miles per hour and veering around two cars before he was able to turn the vehicle off.
"The scariest thing I have ever experienced," the driver wrote in the complaint. "If there was heavy traffic someone would have been killed, no doubt in my mind."
The NHTSA investigation will determine the scope of the problem and then issue a report about any safety consequences that they find.
People who have been injured by defective auto parts or negligent driving are entitled to compensation for their injuries. A recall may affect Ford Motor's liability for any accidents that are caused.

Ok, I've watched the training tutorials on Lightroom 4 and am trying to put what I've seen into practice. I started with what I thought was a fairly good photo but then what do I know? I'm not confident that I'm able to spot what is wrong with a photo, which seems to be the most important thing. Otherwise it's just trial and error. Anyway, on to the photo. I've posted the unprocessed image - well except for what Lightroom does by default - and its corresponding histogram. Below that is what I've ended up with.
The major things I did were to bring up the whites, clarity and vibrance. I then brought up the "lights" on the tone curve to make it steeper over the lights. I did local control over the wing feathers to bring up the shadows. I also increased the sharpening above the default and added some noise reduction. There's also a slight vignette.
I'd love feedback on what else you see wrong with the image, i.e. what needs to be fixed. In addition if you can say how you'd go about fixing things in Lightroom, that would be appreciated.

Wausau Paper Selects Nexus Distribution for Midwest Hub, Creating Jobs in Illinois/
Logistics Provider Nexus Distribution selected to open Midwest U.S. Distribution Center for Wausau Paper
Further enhancing service to customers of its Printing & Writing segment, Wausau Paper selected Nexus Distribution's facility in Bedford Park, IL as the location for its new Printing & Writing distribution hub. Bedford Park, a southwestern suburb of Chicago near interstates 55 and 294, was chosen for its proximity to key Midwest commercial printing markets and merchant distribution partners. The Wausau Paper Midwest distribution hub will create approximately 50 to 60 new jobs in the state of Illinois, and in Cook County specifically.
The Nexus warehousing and logistics facility provides the benefits of the latest energy efficient lighting and distribution technology, the ability to utilize intermodal rail, and Nexus' strategic load consolidation programs. Transitional operations will begin shortly and once fully operational in mid-2009, Overnight and Same-Day delivery service will be available to an increased number of Wausau's central U.S. customers. Customers in areas of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky and Tennessee will enjoy shorter transit times than were achievable from Wausau's former distribution center in Wisconsin.
This follows Nexus' successful opening of Wausau's Northeast distribution center in Allentown, PA early in the spring of 2008. The opening of the Midwest distribution hub along with Wausau's three other regional distribution centers will enable delivery within 24 hours to most top print markets within the U.S.
"Establishing this centralized distribution hub emphasizes our continued commitment to the commercial printing industry, merchant distribution partners, and retail customers by further enhancing the high level of service we provide through our 'Think Service' program," said Daniel R. Trettin, senior vice president for Printing & Writing. "In addition, the new distribution hub will reduce transportation and operating costs, helping us to maintain and achieve further important financial targets for our business."
To foster economic growth for the State, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is administering a business investment package which assisted Nexus in earning Wausau Paper's business.
"Illinois is the perfect location for companies looking to stay ahead of the curve," said Jack Lavin, director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. "Through our work with Nexus Distribution Corporation, we're helping to ensure the company can remain innovative and flexible, which is an absolute necessity in our increasingly global economy. We are pleased that Nexus Distribution and Wausau Paper plan to create up to 60 new jobs here in Illinois."
"We are excited to serve Wausau Paper in Bedford Park and we look forward to providing the Nexus brand of 3PL services to this successful Midwestern company," said Dan Hamilton, Nexus president. Wausau Paper is recognized by its customers as a service leader, and we are honored that Wausau has entrusted Nexus to continue the tradition. Altogether, the solution we've developed is focused on service, natural resource conservation, and maximizing productivity. Our whole team is thrilled about the opportunity and looking forward to the implementation."

An expensive and powerful narcotic approved only for end-stage cancer patients had a habit of finding its way into the medicine cabinets of hundreds of Coloradans with no history of cancer, according to a just-released study by the Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC).
In 2015, for example, less than 10 percent of the prescriptions written for Subsys in Colorado went to patients diagnosed with cancer, according to the CIVHC study.
In October, federal investigators arrested the CEO of the company that manufactures Susbsys on allegations the company paid physicians across the country millions of dollars to help encourage them to write more prescriptions for patients with more classic pain symptoms.
RELATED | Billionaire indicted for alleged role in opioid kickback scheme
Insys Therapuetics, according to www.openpaymentsdata.cms.gov, ramped up its payments to physicians in the years that followed the 2012 approval of Subsys by the Food and Drug Administration. According to an Insys press release in 2012, "SUBSYS is approved in cancer patients 18 years of age and older who are already receiving and who are tolerant to opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain."
Federal prosecutors allege upper management at Insys, not content with selling the drug only to cancer patients, began marketing its product to physicians who didn't necessarily specialize in treating oncology patients.
In 2013, Insys paid physicians more than $2.8 million to help market Subsys. In 2014, its payments to doctors rose dramatically to more than $7.7 million.
Those payments coincide with a rise in prescriptions for Susbys in Colorado.
In Colorado, CIVHC data reports at least 240 prescriptions written for Susbys in 2013. The following year, Colorado doctors wrote at least 600 Subsys prescriptions. By 2015, doctors were writing at least 900 prescriptions.
Very few of those patients had cancer.
In 2015, for example, CIVHC's study says only 9 percent of the 900 prescriptions written for Subsys went to cancer patients.
Federal law allows physicians to write "off-label" prescriptions for patients should they feel the drug could benefit a patient in a way not approved by the FDA. The practice encourages doctors to find potentially innovative ways to treat patients, but critics suggest it also opens a window for bad behavior between drug companies eager to sell their products and doctors equally eager to make some extra cash.
Facing federal scrutiny for its marketing practices in 2016, Insys dramatically decreased its payments to physicians across the country. Tellingly, in 2016, the number of prescriptions for Subsys in Colorado dropped by more than half.
CIVHC estimates between 2012 and 2016, Colorado patients – largely though their public and private health insurance plans – spent $17.5 million on Subsys.
Based on the sheer volume of prescriptions written for patients who did not have cancer, CIVHC estimates $13.6 million of that figure was "potentially avoidable."
If you were prescribed Subsys, we would like to hear from you. Please email me at email@example.com.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says his side will be going all out for three points in Sunday night's huge Clasico clash against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
Madrid trail the Catalans by a point going into the fixture and a defeat would leave Luis Enrique's side as big favourites to win the title this season with some breathing space in a four-point gap.
Under-pressure Ancelotti is not planning to play for a point, however, and will hope to secure all three that would be enough to take his side back to La Liga's summit.
"I'm not settling fotr a draw," he said at Saturday's pre-match press conference. "I've not settled for a draw before and I won't tomorrow. We have eough quality to win the match and I'm not settling for a draw."
The Italian said he has "not gone crazy" in his preparation for the game. Madrid had all week to train in preparation for the clash after last weekend's victory against Levante while Barcelona had to contend with a midweek Champions League match against Manchester City.
"I've not gone mad in our preparation but we have worked hard and we are ready for this match, we wil;l try and do what we need to do in order to win," he said. "It's a special match because we're facing a very good team at an important junction in the season, but we are calm and confident that we can play well."
Ancelotti admitted Barcelona are the favourites going into the game but has full faith in his own men to produce their best result so far this season. "If you're the underdogs or favourites all depends on the form, that's why Barcelona are the favourites. We have confidence going into the game, however, and we go to try and get the win that would send us back to the top of the table."
The Italian admitted that his side's form had not been the best going into the game but that he has total faith in his stars to produce a performance this weekend. "My faith and confidence in this club and these players is not in doubt," he said. Ancelotti also said that he does not fear for his own future owing to the outcome of the match, saying "it is more important for the fans of Madrid and Barcelona".
The spotlight will be on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and Ancelotti says there are no problems with Ronaldo, who he says has trained well this week. "Cristiano is fine, he's had a perfect week and I think he's at his best right now," said Ancelotti.

Four men - Wahed Karimi, Sarkhel Rokhzayi, Mobin Mirzaei and Jamil Qaumi - face numerous counts of possessing and discharging an illegal firearm with intent to murder.
The men were arrested over the wounding of Khalil Khalil, Abdul Abu Mahmoud and Hassan Souied, two of whom are understood to have taken themselves to hospital after the shooting.
Karimi, Rokhzayi and Qaumi appeared in Fairfield court on Thursday afternoon.
All three were wearing head-to-toe, sheer white forensic suits as they sat in the dock amid a heavy police presence.
Karimi is facing 12 charges, including weapons offences and assault charges.
Rokhzayi is facing nine firearms charges.
Mirzaei is facing 13 charges - three of shooting with intent to murder and 10 firearm-related offences, while Qaumi is facing seven charges including, but not limited to, allegedly issuing criminal directions to the others.
Magistrate Vivian Swain ordered the four to appear via video link in Burwood Court on Monday.
Only Qaumi has indicated he will apply for bail.

Shape up, shape down
Evening everyone! Nice to hear from me after a long day, huh?
Because it sure has been that, a long day. I woke up a bit after 7 AM, after a very nice long sleep. I had a nice, chill breakfast while watching Top Model Sverige, before I started to study for the science exam I had today. I think it went well. It was quite easy, actually. But then again, if it feels easy you probably have done something wrong... Let's hope that doesn't apply this time.
On my way home I bought some candy to celebrate that the exam is over and I also spotted this new magazine. Since I've already read this month's ELLE issue, I'm really urging for something to read. So the fact that this magazine seemed really interesting, was quite cheap + had Candice on it's cover, made the decision to buy it really easy. I think I'll save it for the weekend though, when I can relax and read it without feeling guilty about it.
Have a great rest of the week!
The irony in this picture though...

By contrast, a single meal high in polyunsaturated fat improved the anti-inflammatory activity of HDL cholesterol compared with fasting baseline levels, according to report in the Aug. 15 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
This study further defines the role of fatty acids in promoting atheroma formation, said David Celermajer, MBBS, Ph.D., at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, and colleagues in Adelaide and Stockholm.
To study the influence of dietary fatty acids, the investigators enrolled 14 healthy adults (mean age 29.5 years) who after an overnight fast consumed an isocaloric meal (a slice of carrot cake and a milk shake) containing either a polyunsaturated or a saturated fat on two occasions.
The polyunsaturated meal contained safflower oil (75%), while the saturated-fat meal contained coconut oil (89.6%). The meals contained the equivalent of 1 g of fat for every kg (2.2 pounds) of body weight.
Both meals were followed by an increase in plasma levels of triglyceride and insulin at three hours and nonesterified fatty acids at six hours, the researchers reported.
The HDL collected six hours after the saturated-fat meal was less effective than HDL from fasting plasma in terms of the ability to inhibit expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) (P<0.004).
By contrast, HDL collected six hours after the polyunsaturated meal had an inhibitory activity on intracellular adhesion molecules that was greater than that of HDL at fasting levels (P=0.01), the researchers reported.
Furthermore, post-hyperemic microvascular blood flow from the forearm increased significantly three hours after the polyunsaturated meal by 45 ± 14% but only by 21 ± 11% after the saturated meal.
In a complementary finding, the study showed that altering the fatty acid composition of a meal had a potential influence on vascular function in large vessels. The researchers reported that three hours after the meal, saturated fat produced significant post-prandial impairment of vascular reactivity, whereas no such impairment was observed after eating the polyunsaturated meal (0.9 ± 1%).
Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) decreased three hours after the saturated meal by 2.2 ± 0.9% (P<0.05 compared with baseline) but not significantly three hours after the polyunsaturated meal, the researchers said. Six hours after both meals, FMD did not differ significantly compared with fasting baseline levels.
However, the authors pointed out that "it is possible that 'regression to the mean' may have contributed to some of the flow-mediated dilation reduction observed after consumption of the saturated fat (although all analyses were blinded to meal assignment and timing)."
It is unclear whether altering dietary fat composition influences other functions of HDL, the researchers wrote. The current results were obtained from a modest cohort of normal subjects, and extrapolation to subjects with atherosclerosis or other risk factors should be made with caution, they said.
These findings highlight novel mechanisms by which different dietary fatty acids may influence key atherogenic processes, Dr. Celermajor and colleague said. The composition of dietary fat has a substantial influence on the anti-inflammatory activity of HDL and may contribute to the finding that the systemic level of soluble adhesion molecules varies with the consumption of different fatty acids, he said.
"The present study raises the raises the possibility that the differential effects of dietary fats on the anti-inflammatory potential of HDL and endothelial function may contribute to the apparent benefits of polyunsaturated over saturated diets observed in the epidemiological literature," he concluded.
A study co-author, Stephen Nicholls, Ph.D., now at the Cleveland Clinic, received a Young Investigator Award from Pfizer to support this research.

Book Review: '9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America' by Brion McClanahan
McClanahan opens with a thesis about the intent of the founders versus modern expectations. "These men argued that the president was not to be a king, nor would he have the power George III had in England. But the understanding of the executive branch among most Americans— including historians— has been distorted. We ask what we think the president should do in office, not what he is constitutionally permitted to do in office. The latter should be the measure of the man." "In the Constitution, the founding fathers generation left as a vehicle for preserving self-government. We ignore it at our peril."
The terms of office of the 13 presidents addressed in the book cover the full history of the country: the founding, expansion through the early 18th century, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the progressive era, World War I, the Depression, World War II, Vietnam and the great Society, and now Obama.
McClanahan discusses each of the presidents' untertakings in various spheres of action. In foreign policy and in war, did they follow the constitutional separation of powers whereby the Senate takes the lead? Did they allow the Senate to advise and consent? Did they allow the legislature to draft the legislation, or did they actively involve themselves in the legislative process? Did they execute the laws as passed by Congress, or did they selectively enforce them? Did they push themselves into the legislative and judicial spheres by setting up national boards that performed all three processes without supervision?
His conclusion is that the nine presidents who screwed things up built on each other's precedents, increasingly ignoring the written limits on executive power in the Constitution. If there is one somewhat hopeful note, it is that it is not getting worse. The invasions of privacy in the Lincoln and Wilson administrations seem to be at least as destructive as those of Bush and Obama. Likewise, the suppression of freedom of the press during the wartime administrations of Lincoln, Wilson and Roosevelt was worse than what we are seeing today. Today's invasions are more threatening because they are backed by more dangerous technologies: electronic eavesdropping, drones, access to bank records and the like.
The four presidents that got things right were Jefferson, Tyler, Cleveland and Coolidge. They stayed within the prescribed powers of the chief executive. McClanahan notes that history considers the latter three to be weak presidents because they did not "get things done." That is exactly the point, and perhaps the most difficult point for any government. One has to know when not to act.
McClanahan confines himself quite narrowly to a discussion of the Constitution and the constitutionality of the activities of these 13 presidents. He could not do otherwise and hold the book to a readable length. His final chapter, what can we do, is a prescriptive list of constitutional amendments that might bring things back into balance.
What he does not discuss, what he could not discuss within the scope of this book, are the limits of human nature. Humans have a bias toward action. The citizenry looks to the president, as the man in charge, to fix problems whether or not they are within his job description. Since taking action usually involves assuming more power and commanding resources that can be parceled among one's friends, it is entirely natural for a chief executive to eagerly answer a call to action. This is the nature of leaders worldwide. The restraint that the Constitution calls for is unnatural. We should not be surprised that presidents do not answer the call.
It takes a lot of drive and a big ego to seek the presidency. It is not surprising that two of the four presidents that McClanahan credits with trying to save the institution were modest men who came into the presidency when their predecessor died in office. Tyler and Coolidge had few further political ambitions and could afford to be honest. Coolidge resisted intense pressure to help predominantly black citizens victimized by the greatest Mississippi flood of all times. His heart may have gone out to them, and they may have been predominantly Republican voters, but it was not the federal government's job to do anything. He stood on principle. McClanahan writes
"The founding generation considered self-control a key measure of character. Anyone with enough political clout can abuse power. Restraint requires more tenacity and backbone than rampant, damaging, and often narcissistic autocratic rule. Executive restraint is a republican virtue, passed down from the great example of the Roman Cincinnatus, the general who saved Rome from collapse but then gave up power willingly to return to his fields and resume his life as a farmer."
The Progressives, dating back to Theodore Roosevelt, took an expansive view of the Presidency. They saw their job as not merely executing laws, but leading and improving the society. McClanahan notes that Franklin Roosevelt "believed that Americans in modern industrialized society had the need for new 'rights,' including the 'right' to a job, food, clothing, recreation, a home, medical care, education, and freedom from the 'fear' of unemployment, old age, sickness, and unfair competition." A president who believes it is his job to guarantee these "rights" to the citizenry must make himself a dictator to do so. Both Roosevelts, Wilson, Johnson, Nixon and Obama have pushed as hard as possible in that direction.
The role of state governments is a major theme. Although the founders intended the United States to be a confederation of 13 states, Lincoln's interpretation when the Confederate states seceded was that it was a confederation of the people within the states – the states themselves had no standing. The union of the peoples that made up the United States was indissoluble.
McClanahan favors the notion that smaller governments, closer to the people, will be more responsive to their needs than a large distant central government. Even when they are not, their mistakes will be limited. This was certainly the plan of the founders. The national government was to concern itself with matters like national defense and interstate commerce that were beyond the scope of the states. That which could be done by the states, such as education, roadbuilding and the like, was no business of the federal government. Though the federal government has intruded itself into these spheres claiming it can do a better job, the fact is more that it simply has the muscle to push state and local governments aside, and it does so.
The United States Constitution drew on English common law and the Enlightenment philosophers, especially Britons such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. The population of the United States in the 18th century was predominantly English, though with the admixture of Germans that Franklin found so upsetting. Blacks and Indians, though populous, generally did not have political rights. The Constitution was therefore a document adapted by and for a small, homogeneous population. What it did was to codify the common sense and experience of enlightened Englishmen, incorporating the insights of the great minds of the time. It was revolutionary primarily in that it was of one piece, contemporary, and written and agreed.
English law has been a global success. Most national constitutions draw heavily on the American Constitution and its British roots. One observes, however, that as implemented they are more a reflection of their own populations than the English philosophers. Argentina, Haiti, Ukraine and many other countries' constitutions set forth high aspirations. However, in practice they represent the people, not the noble words. As the population of the United States has diversified away from the founding British and Northern European stock, the workings of constitutional law have changed as well. We have hugely diverse mixture of founding stock Europeans, Southern and Eastern Europeans, American Indians, Afro-Americans, Middle Easterners and Asians all trying to live comfortably under the blanket of a constitution designed by and for Britons. We should not be dismayed that it has been stretched out of shape.

text: I didnt see a thread like this so I apologize if I am double threading. Lets post some pics you have seen in the wild! Maybe at a shop, business, somewhere out in the real world. I got the idea because I was at the Orance County Auto Show today and a few of the manufacturers were using Macs as part of the information set-ups. Here is what I saw. The first 2 are in the Saab area. All of them seemed to use the same software but I don't happen to remember it at this time. The next 2 were from the Pontiac display. I thought it was funny that it was an Apple display and a Gateway keyboard. The last was at the Saturn booth.

Jim called and sounded interested in batching your formula. He wanted me to pass on my furnace specs. It's a wire melter and he is concerned about melting batch in it..specifically if it required higher temps. Funny, I was just reading the Antiques and Classics thread on this issue the other day. I do recall that you like to melt calcedony at a lower temp (2180, I believe) which my furnace can easily handle. Would this also be the case with the potassium glass?
Sounds very doable to me. I'll only be doing small batches in a 17lb crucible. The furnace is made to keep the majority of the crucible contents away from the elements. I can live with some loss of element life if the colors blow me away.
My furnace setting: 2112

Just before the festival of freedom and in time for their first celebration of the holiday in their homeland, 230 new olim (immigrants) from Ukraine landed Tuesday in Ben Gurion Airport on a "Freedom Flight" organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ).
The olim were greeted with a warm welcome by Israel's Minister of Immigration and Absorption, Sofa Landver, who was waiting for them when they descended from the airplane.
In her speech, the Minister said, "I am very happy about the continued wave of Aliyah and am sure that together we will provide the olim (immigrants) who have just arrived with the best possible care and optimal absorption in every part of life, so that they will immediately feel at home."
For many of them the upcoming Passover holiday will be the first holiday celebrated in Israel. The majority of the 78 families who arrived Tuesday were expected to settle in the north and center of the country. Included among those families were four Holocaust survivors and more than 40 children.
Some of the immigrants came from embattled areas in Ukraine where in recent years they lived as refugees in their own country. For many of them the last two years were filled with huge economic difficulties, as Ukraine experienced an intense economic crisis.
Olski and Irina L. came to Israel with their daughter from the city of Dnipropetrovsk. "Life in Ukraine has become life without a future, especially for families with children," they said. "Because of the continuing war the economic situation is also terrible. For us it was clear, if we are looking for a future for our children, it is better to do it in the land of Israel."
IFCJ president Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein said the opportunity for the olim to begin a new life in Israel, "living in a strong and independent country, constitutes a rescue for them.
"The holiday of freedom that we will all celebrate soon is a significant expression of the concept of freedom… I call on the all of the people of Israel to remember the olim and invite them to their homes for the seder meal and to celebrate their freedom with them."

If you are like me, you probably use a lot of printer ink for personal copying and more especially in your business. Even printing labels tends to suck it up.
Here are five ink saving tips I suggest. These have worked for me, but proceed at your own peril as your printer may be the exception to the usual rules. And, I would hate to be the one responsible for your printer getting gummed up with a bad batch of cartridge ink. I'm just saying . . . .
1. If you have a printer that works with generic or non-oem ink, use it. Yes you get less printed pages but typically generic ink costs 1/4 the price of the fancy namebrand stuff.
2. Print on draft or fast draft mode with inkjets. Of course the print is lighter but you can get 25% more prints this way. Especially great if you just need the information for a short time.
3. Turn your spent cartridges into the office supply store for credit towards other merchandise. Office Depot, Staples and Office Max give $3.00 coupons for each cartridge turned in.
4. Never, ever buy your ink from a store. Try to always buy in online. For example, if you buy it on eBay it is cheaper, even with shipping and you can get your eBay BUCKS or Mr. Rebates cashback rewards.
5. Don't worry too much about expiration dates. If you can buy a cartridge online cheap, buy it, even if it is past the expiration date. HP says their cartridges are good for at least two years past the date, if they remain sealed. You can often offer someone less for an older cartriges on eBay with a "Best Offer" purchase and get a great deal. Can't hurt to try.
And if you are super ambitious and inclined toward learning a new skill, you can always refill your own cartridges. I have factored in the mess I would make and find that this is not the method for my needs.
Here's a way you might save $20.00 this year!
Change the font in the documents you print.
Because different fonts require different amounts of ink to print. For example, you could be buying new printer cartridges less often if you wrote in Century Gothic rather than Arial. Schools and businesses can save thousands of dollars with simply a font change.
Data on this subject was taken from printer.com, who talk about a Dutch company that evaluates printer attributes. They persuaded the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to make a switch in their usual font. Diane Blohowiak, coordinator of information-technology user support, asked the faculty and staff to use Century Gothic for all printed documents. As a result the school plans to change its e-mail system to use Century Gothic exclusively. The school of 6,500 students spends about $100,000 per year on ink and toner and expects to save $5,000 to $10,000 per year with the font switch.
