{"text": "Are you planning a vacation and think packing your travel stroller is a no brainer? Well we’ve got a strong case for why you should bring your full-size stroller on your next big adventure. It may seem like the bulkier option, but having your full-size stroller can be enormously helpful when jet-setting with kids. Here are 6 reasons for traveling with your full-size stroller: 1. It doubles as a cart at the airport. By the time you get to your gate at the airport you’ll be glad you brought along your full-size stroller. Full-size strollers usually have roomier baskets, which means they can act as an extra set of arms for lugging bags. For even more storage capacity, you can wear your little one and place your bags on the seat. And you can add a few mommy Hooks to the handle bar to hang that backpack your child gave up on seconds after getting to the airport. 2. It's a home away from home. If you use your full-size stroller on the daily, chances are, it's become a safe haven for your little one. So why changing things up just because you are on the go? In fact, since traveling means interfering with your baby's routine, your usual full-size stroller may give him a much-needed sense of familiarity that will keep him at ease until you are back home. 3. It's comfortable and cozy. Full-size strollers tend to have a wider seat, a foot rest and a large sunshade, all of which make for a pretty cushy ride. The more comfortable your babe, the more likely he’ll be willing to cooperate during a long day of sightseeing and exploring. 4. It's great for nap time. Full-size strollers come with a few perks that lend themselves well to napping such as a seat that lies flat and a large canopy, both ideal for long snoozes. And if your baby naps well in the stroller, you won’t have to rush back to your hotel in the middle of the day and waste precious daylight. 5. It doubles as a high chair. You’ll likely patron restaurants way more than usual while on vacation, and your full size stroller can come in handy while dining out. Since the seat on full-size strollers is typically higher than those of travel strollers, babies too little for a highchair can be pulled up to the table. This also comes in handy if the restaurant you’ve had on your itinerary for months does’t end up being so kid-friendly and scoffs at you when you ask for a high chair. 6. It's a smooth ride no matter where you go. Full-size strollers have larger wheels with better suspension than your average travel stroller. No matter where in the world you’re off to, your full size stroller will more easily handle the terrain -- be it the trails, beach or cobblestone streets. Still don't have a stroller and wondering which one to get? Here are our favorite full-feature strollers:\nMountain Buggy +One Stroller, $599.\nPhil&Teds Sport Stroller, $438.\nBugaboo Fox Stroller, starting at $1,199.\nJoolz Hub Stroller, $679.\nGraco Uno2Duo stroller, $499.\nBritax B-Ready, on sale for $399.\n"}
{"text": "What the world needs at this point is to greatly increase the production and distribution of vaccines so that we can move on with hope and certainty, leaving our anxieties and losses behind.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has been appearing in the form of multiple waves throughout the world. This is clearly the nature of this virus; other members of the coronavirus family also have this character.\nIn the beginning, death rates were high because we did not know much about this new virus. But in subsequent waves, doctors all over the world have figured out that those who have received two doses of vaccine are far less likely to die than those who did not take the vaccine. This is called the real life effectiveness of vaccines.\nPrior to the release of vaccines, we saw the publication of phase 3 trials where vaccines were compared to placebo in participants around the world. Such trials were held under stringent conditions, with careful monitoring\n– but on relatively small numbers of people.\nIt was expected that these results would represent the real-life picture once the vaccine was rolled out into large numbers of people. However, a few bio scientists were understandably concerned whether these trial efficacy results (done on only a few thousand individuals) will translate into real life effectiveness in millions of people in field conditions.\nFortunately, data is pouring in from all over the world that all vaccines are now able to prevent bad outcomes to a significant degree, just as predicted.\nWe have also seen that the real-life effectiveness of some vaccines such as Pfizer have dropped to as low as 65% in Israel, while that of adenovirus vector vaccines and inactivated virus vaccines have been better than initially believed to be, thus levelling the playing field between vaccines.\nSmall countries with limited populations serve as laboratories to the world about how effectively vaccines will reduce suffering and deaths. Seychelles is one such nation, with a population of under just under 100,000. Seychelles also is one of the most vaccinated nations in the world. This island nation uses two vaccines: an adenovirus vector vaccine (Astrazeneca) and an inactivated virus vaccine (SinoPharm).\nEven though there were initial concerns about a surge due to tourism, it was later found that those who were fully vaccinated were 99.991% likely to survive the COVID-19 surge in Seychelles – which is probably the best proof of how vaccines will shape our future.\nLivelihood has to continue, people have to go to work, children have to get educated, social life has to restart and economy has to move on. No doubt there will be future surges, but as the world gets vaccinated, fewer people will require to be hospitalised and even less will die.\nIt is also been shown by latest research studies that our immunity induced by vaccination (or by past infection) actually improves over a period of time and is even able to tackle variants.\nTherefore, even if there are few breakthrough infections, these are unlikely to cause harm. What the world needs at this point is to greatly increase the production and distribution of vaccines so that we can move on with hope and certainty, leaving our anxieties and losses behind.\nCovid vaccine are inevitable for everyone now\nI totally agree to this"}

{"text": "Not a great deal of time today, as Abby had her basketball medal ceremony at 9:45, and Kate has a ball game at 12:00, but I thought I'd try and give you an update.\nWe're doing well here at Casa de Killian.\nThe new schedule is quite an adjustment, but I think we almost have it figured out. I think the adjustment has been the roughest on Grace... She loves Ju Ju, and she loves staying with her, but she's also used to seeing ME. A LOT. And she hasn't had that the last few weeks. She's acting out a little bit... she decided to give herself a haircut last week, and gapped it up pretty well right in the front. We're all a little sad about that, because, REALLY, she has BEAUTIFUL hair... so thick and long and gorgeous... I haven't taken her to get it fixed yet, not just because I haven't had time, but also because I am trying to decide if I can bear to cut it off. I don't know yet. I may just have to trim it, and let the gapped part grow out. She has also been sick this week. Nothing major, just a nasty cough, but it's hard on her AND on Mama to not be with her when she's puny. Hopefully she will adjust soon and get back to being a happy little girl.\nSchool is going well for me. I REALLY am enjoying being back in the classroom. My students seem excited, and, well, I'm pretty excited, too. My own children are LOVING me being at school. They think it's pretty nifty to walk down the hall and see me and give me a hug at random times during the day! I love being able to see them and be near them. I feel at home.\nIf you've been praying for us, keep it up. I'm pretty sure God is listening!!! :-)\n3 comments:\nI'm so glad that teaching is going well. I knew you'd be great at it. I'm glad you love it. I know how the girls feel. I loved having my mom up there at school! I hope you get some good time with Gracie this weekend! She'll get used to it and before you know it, she'll be up there with you too!\nIt's so hard to leave your babies! I stayed home when my older ones were little and it was hard for me when I left Cari to teach 20+ years ago...I think I cried every day for a year! Even though I was at school with Derek and Hillary...I was away from Cari and she was 4! Then I had to leave Dillan when he was only 6 months old...but he was in wonderful hands with Sheri LeBlanc! We'll keep praying!\nYou know I am sure this does not actually help however Brianna cut her hair!! Just in time for Michael and Melanie's wedding... Melanie did quite well at covering it up for it to grow back... I am pretty sure she will never make that mistake again.. she was so embarrased.....I am glad that you are enjoying your job. I come and check on you all the time!!!"}

{"text": "The Future Part 4: Technological Change as Normal and UnpredictableJune 24, 2012\nTechnology is often used as an excuse for dumbing-down. Shift Happens UK throws out claims such as:\nAccording to BBC News a new blog is created every second.. 1, 400, 000 UK pupils have their own webpage… Predictions are that e-paper will be cheaper than real paper. 47 million laptops were shipped worldwide last year. 7 out of 10 teenagers have a handheld games machine. 9 out of 10 teenagers have a home computer , a mobile phone and a games console. 84% of young people play computer games at least once a fortnight. 72% of teachers never play computer games. Predictions are that by 2013 a supercomputer will be built that exceeds the computation capability of the human brain. And while technical predictions further out than about 15 years are hard to do predictions are that by 2049 a £500 computer will exceed the computational capabilities of the entire human species.:\n… in 1956 when I was in school, British Astronomer Royal, Dr Richard van der Riet Wooley said, “Space travel is utter bilge.” … a few years later … The view of the Earth as seen from space signalled a major shift in our world view. Those whose formative years (generally thought to be between earth and age 6) occurred before we explored space have a very different world-view or paradigm than those who were born afterwards. By 1969 we had placed a man on the moon and returned him safely to Earth. The world changed.\nI’m not suggesting that the one event was responsible for the paradigm shift all by itself, but it is symbolic of it. During the time of the “space race”, nascent technologies became mature. The world of digital electronics and random-access devices grew at a phenomenal rate. The 60s marked a transition to an era some have never fully accepted.\nThe problem we now encounter in education is simply this: Our children operate with a completely different world-view than that of many adults. As educators we have a sacred duty to support and enhance the development of our youth, not to try and convert them to outmoded ways of thinking. This then is the pivotal challenge of our time.\nThornberg (1991)\nNobody can deny that technological change has occurred and has changed society. However, others have denied that even something as shockingly futuristic as space travel changed society greatly:\nEveryone of a certain age thinks of the 1969 moon landing as a symbolic dividing line between the new technological era and the old. At the time, the moon landing occasioned great excitement and it was heralded as the beginning of a new age. But it’s more properly seen as the culmination of some older technological developments. What did the moon landing lead to in our everyday standard of living? Teflon, Tang, and some amazing photographs. A better knowledge of astronomy. In other words, it wasn’t like the railroad or automobile. And these days, we’re worried that Teflon does more harm to the environment than good.\nCowen (2011)\nWe can also be wary of suggestions that technological change has always been so unpredictable that the experts of the day were taken aback. The quotation about space travel is not as clear cut as it might appear. According to Terry et al (1995):\nWhat the Astronomer Royal really said (I heard him on Radio Newsreel) was: “All this talk about space travel is utter bilge, really.” Anyone. The newspaper editors clearly did not like this so they deleted the first four words to make it appear that he was decrying space travel itself.\nHe went on to say:” It would cost as much as a major war just to put a man on the moon.” This turned out to be an accurate prediction. One London paper printed his words truthfully but the lie had already gone around the world and nobody was interested in the truth still struggling to get its boots on.\nMisattributed quotations about people who failed to appreciate technological change are not a rarity. A Washington Post article recently reported that President Obama incorrectly claimed that:\nOne of my predecessors, Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone, ‘It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?’ That’s why he’s not on Mount Rushmore because he’s looking backwards.:\nLooking at paradigms for educational change for the next century, I can safely predict the death of the textbook. …They are repositories of information and they occasionally provide impetus to explore a subject in more depth. These functions can be performed much more easily by CD-ROMs.\nLook at the new super Nintendo system. This game machine is really a Trojan horse. It looks like a game machine; it plays like a game machin, but watch out. Sometime later this year Nintendo will roll out an adaptor complete with over 8 megabytes of RAM and a CD-ROM drive for about $200. This means that for well under $400, kids will have a complete multimedia workstation. You can be sure that keyboards, mice and modems won’t be far behind. If I’m right in this prediction, Apple and IBM will just be transient blips on the face of personal computing unless they respond strongly, and respond fast.\nRoger Wagner (the creator of HyperStudio) has described the VCR as the printer of the 90’s… One of the most important features of a VCR is that in addition to playing back tapes, it can be used to record. This places the means of “printing” in the hands of everyone with a VC, assuming they have a video/audio source to connect to the recorder. After awhile you may find that your VCR has moved to your printer stand..\nIve just invented the 15 blade razor with in-built coffee making facilities\nMost of it is nonsense. The other threads show the gap – technological fantasists “everything is all wonderful, everyone should throw money (other people’s !) at these wonders” and hard classroom realists.\nI was amused by the reference to the Super Nintendo System, because it was ignorant even then. The SNES (as things are) was built down to a price so Nintendo could make money. So whilst it is very good at drawing graphics on the screen for games or playing jolly rinky-dink tunes, it’s “brain” (the WD65C816 CPU) is actually very very sloooooow. It’s slightly quicker than the old BBC Micro. So it could never be the heart of some sort of super multimedia system because it technically isn’t up to it.\n(The system described does actually exist. It’s the original Sony Playstation which arose out of fight between Nintendo and Sony over the add on)\nThe global warming thing always amuses me. I distinctly remember as a kid being told the exact opposite, that the Ice Ages were on the way back. Then of course we were all going to be wiped out my nuclear war. I see the Maldives are still claiming that in 20 years they’re going to be underwater. They were claiming that when I went there with the Mrs on honeymoon. We’ve been married 21 years this year.\nI hope you are not trying to push the climate change denialist narrative that in the 70s it was generally believed (as opposed to suggested by a few people here and there) that we were heading for an ice age. Even back then, there was greater fear of a warming trend resulting from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as is known to anyone who has ever watched Soylent Green).\nAll of this dumbing down comes from a belief that standards and academic rigour are in some how “elitist” and not inclusive. We have moved from the meritocratic ideal to a mediocracy. This has been driven by people with an inclusion agenda (by that I mean more people participating in education “successfully” rather than inclusion as it relates to special needs).\nThe notion that skills and creativity are somehow more important than knowledge is an attempt to make education more inclusive in my opinion.\nThe meritocratic ideal is not without its flaws. It hasn’t worked thus far in levelling the playing field. This is largely because those born to rich and/or educated parents have obvious advantages when it comes to passing exams. However that just means that we need to look at and debate how to level the playing field rather than scrapping the notion that those with ability and those that apply themselves should be the ones who do the best.\nThere has been a sharp decline in enthusiasm for the ideal of promoting achievement through merit. The very ideal of merit, like standards, has been portrayed as some sort of trick of the elite.\nWhile it is possible for the democratisation of education to result in the maintenance or a rise in standards it would have to be done well and with conviction. Sadly the two main schools of thought on this seem to believe otherwise. Those disposed towards “elitist” ideals have no wish to compromise on standards and do not believe that democratisation (or widening participation) can maintain or raise standards. Those that wish to widen participation or make education more inclusive share this belief but are willing to compromise on standards in order to include everyone.\nThis notion that popular participation is incompatible with the maintenance of standards of excellence has led to a devaluing of intellectualism and academic excellence and an increasingly utilitarian view of learning. It also displays a depressing lack of faith in the intellectual capabilities of the general school age public.\nBroad participation without the maintenance of high standards is a fraud being perpetrated on the general public.\n“We have moved from the meritocratic ideal to a mediocracy.\nIn my view it is all highly contradictory. ”\nSome time in the late 80s I attended a parents’ evening at the local comp where both my children were educated. I mentioned to my son’s somewhat right on class teacher that I didn’t like mixed ability teaching in the language class where about a quarter of the pupils struggled with English let alone European languages. I was then subjected to a lecture about the egalitarian ethos of the school, well rounded products and so on ad nauseam.\nSome two years later my daughter arrived home from the same school in tears having been dropped from the school orchestra. Later that week, on my morning train, I sat opposite an acquaintance, a sports fanatic, who rambled on at length about the brilliant achievements of the comp football team in which his son played. So it seemed games and music were exempt from mixed ability participation.\nThis led to reflection on what schools children of my circle of friends attended. A significant minority attended independent schools and the children of two couples (very left wing) had some how been inveigled into the second from top performing comp in the county, some 10 miles from their place of residence.\nAll this and various socialist MPs sending their offspring to selected schools rather than the local comp really honed my cynicism.\nJust for the record I have never voted conservative.\nah well paysan\npolitical allegiance and ethical principles are all very well\nbut as many a hypocritical MP can tell you:\n“You don’t F*** about when its your own kids…..”\nI’m immediately sceptical of the value of the points made by Cowen(2011) because it repeats this common canard:\n“What did the moon landing lead to in our everyday standard of living? Teflon, Tang…”\nHow did the moon landing “lead to” the discovery of PTFE in 1938, or the formulation of Tang in 1957?\nSloppy research makes me less inclined to give any credence to conclusions.\nI believe that there is a very big difference between “algebra” and a “programming language” in epistomological terms which will quickly and easily explain why algebra while, it will be developed further, will not disappear as will the programming language.\n”\nIf we accept that technological change has always happened we, nevertheless, have no reason to think that it favours a progressive over a traditional curriculum.”\nI would love to see a post here from OA looking at the similarities and differences between the traditional and progressive, after all Socrates was progressive in his day. If there is such a post then a pointer to it would be nice as there is much material to look through.\nAs I am sure I have said before, it would seem that research indicates that factual knowledge (especially within a discipline?) improves problem solving and decision making. I believe it is also clear that practice and knowledge of the skills/processes of problem solving and decision making also can improve these processes.\nThere can be no doubt that an individual can access facts using technology that would have been impossible 30 years ago. I know because I was there. When I am considering a problem/issue I more often than not reach for the internet to gather more information as part of the process. I believe (and hope) that I am able to frame my searches far more effectively than someone who has no factual knowledge in the domian and I am also sure that I am able to search for better information as I have a better understanding of the process in which I will apply said information.\nI believe that technology has in fact allowed opportunities for personal growth that require a shift in the balance between teaching facts and teaching “thinking”. I don’t think that teaching less facts necessarily dumbs down education and in fact to an extent it can improve education as long as one does not teach “thinking” exclusively. My beef would be with those who say that learning factual knowledge is no longer necessary but there are few educational fundamentalists out there who sign this song. I also would argue clearly with those who argue that teaching factual knowledge should be the exclusive task of education, but then there are very few of thos fundamentalist educators about. Mst are somewhere in the middle.\nWhile these discussions about excuses for dumbing down are an interesting and useful forum for provoking thought, I feel that they are increasingly setting the two extremes up as common practice, which although useful in theory is little use in practice.\nI would like to see more consideration of the balance between the two, especially in different subject content domains.\n“I would love to see a post here from OA looking at the similarities and differences between the traditional and progressive…”\nHere is the nearest to that, although I hope to explore it in more detail in the future:\n[…] about technology, but it does seem to shift the burden of proof. A more developed case can be found here, here and […]"}

This project makes a fun way for the kids to experiment with issues of composition, to combine relatively small simple blocks into larger pieces with more impact, and to try out different formats.\nI begin the project by showing lots and lots of examples to try to explain the idea and the range of possibilities. Then I give the students their blocks precut in a couple of different dimensions - long skinny rectangle, larger square, medium rectangles - to encourage them to try some different things and get some variety into their composition. After they’ve carved, I push them to experiment with printing multiple variations before settling on their favorite way to combine their blocks into a finished piece.\nYou can see here some of the variations kids have come up with. There are scenes in which the components are arranged logically to represent the real world. There are designs in which the components are arranged into medallions or patterns (usually symmetrical.)

{"text": "Tips To Keep In Mind When Filing For SSDI and/or SSI\n1/1\nOverall tips to keep in mind when applying for Social Security Disability are:\nGet regular, ongoing medical treatment. Aside from it being good for your health, an examiner can't approve SSDI if there are no current medical records to back-up your claim.\nInsiders say you should see a medical practitioner at least every two months. If you don't have the money to go back to your normal medical provider, go to a free clinic or an emergency room. Another possibility is that very often state Vocational Rehabilitation agencies can assist claimants in getting certain testing and medical examinations paid for. While this is for the purpose of developing a Vocational Rehabilitation claim, counselors are usually willing to supply a copy of these records.\nTake your drugs and follow any other prescribed regimen when you're supposed to. If you don't, you may be turned down unless failure to follow the prescribed treatment is for good cause.\nWhen you complete any forms, always consider the point of view of the person who will review the paperwork. How can you say what you want to say in a manner that will trigger the response you want?\nGet as many documents yourself as you can, and make sure they cover what is needed: A Social Security administrator who has been involved in this area for over 20 years states that the better documented the claim, the more likely it will be approved.\nMake and keep a copy of every document you provide to Social Security, including any documents or completed forms you supply. These copies can be very important if any files are lost or if there are appeals. If keeping track of paperwork isn't your strength, see Filing for tips on where to store these files so you can find them again when you need them.\nReceipts for documents: Obtain a written receipt for every document you provide to Social Security.\nMail:\n- Mail that you send to Social Security or DDS: Don't assume any mail will get there. Send all mail in a manner that will provide you a receipt proving it was received, such as \"Return Receipt Requested.\"\n- Watch Your Mail. Particularly during the application process, Social Security is likely to mail you requests or notices. If you miss them or delay replying, your application will be delayed and your file may even be closed.\n- If you plan to be out-of-town, make sure someone is watching your mail and forwarding you anything from Social Security or Disability Determination Service (or whatever the name is of that organization in your state).\nContact with Social Security: Note in a file or diary any contact you have with Social Security, including:\n- the date and time\n- the name of the person with whom you meet or speak\n- a summary of what happened, including who is supposed to do something next, what that person is supposed to do, and by when.\nWhen you meet with someone at Social Security, try to make that person a friend. A friend is more likely to help. For tips, click here.\nIf you call for information: Call 1.800.772.1213 to determine the location of your claim file and local phone number of that office. Then call the local Social Security field office or the state office which determines medical eligibility (generally referred to as Disability Determination Service or DDS.)\nFalse Statements: Do not make any false statement orally or in your paper work. You can, and should, state facts in a way that is most favorable to your case, but that doesn't mean to make a false statement. The law provides for criminal penalties for misrepresenting the facts or for making false statements to obtain benefits. Social Security may not go this far is you do make false statements, but is the risk worth it?"}

Her cerebral yet deeply visceral artworks upend longstanding assumptions about composition, beauty, and narrative. Drawing inspiration from a vast and surprising array of sources—including literature, pop culture, metaphysics, and personal history—von Heyl creates paintings that are seemingly familiar yet impossible to classify, offering, in her words, “a new image that stands for itself as fact.”\nIn studios in New York and Marfa, Texas, von Heyl combines a rigorous, process-based practice that demands each painting develop through the act of painting, itself. The spellbinding results invite you to explore a unique visual language, exuberant and insistent.\nOrganized in collaboration with the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, this major multinational exhibition highlights the artist’s groundbreaking artistic output since 2005, including recent works that point to new developments in her constantly evolving practice. Together, Snake Eyes shines an international spotlight on one of today’s most dynamic painters and demonstrates the vitality and limitless possibilities of painting.\nCurated by Hirshhorn Senior Curator Evelyn C. Hankins and Dr. Professor Dirk Luckow, general director at the Deichtorhallen, with curatorial assistance from Sandy Guttman."}
{"text": "What to Watch Out for When Buying Your Next Home\nThere’s a lot to juggle in a “house hunt.” Unfortunately, this means that some important aspects of the home or market can slip past you, costing you substantially. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are buying your next home!\nOther Buyers\nBe aware of your competition! There are plenty of other buyers constantly on the same search as you, meaning you have to work to stay ahead of the game and stand out from the crowd of sellers. Come to the search as prepared as possible—if possible, try to get preapproved for a loan and retain a solid cash reserve for your down payment (or even “earnest money” to prove to the seller that you are secure with your funding.) Put in the time and effort to access properties that may be overlooked, and act fast when you see something promising. Your special initiative in the crowd of otherwise average buyers will pay off!\nSigns of Hidden Issues\nAnother thing you should dedicate time and energy to when buying your next home is verifying the quality of the property you’re interested in. While homes are staged to present their best selves, you should pay attention to signs of hidden issues that could come back to bite you later. Evaluate each property you seriously consider. You should do a thorough walk-through so you can point out problems to your realtor. Some things to look for specifically: look into the plumbing and foundational structures to reassure that everything is build and functioning properly (i.e. no water damage!); pay attention to the roofing and ask for the age of the materials; look for issues with faulty electrical outfitting that would impact the use of your home.\nPotential for Growth\nEven if you find the “perfect home” that checks all your boxes and fulfills all your expectations, remember that those wants and needs will likely change over the years! Whether your family grows or shrinks, your work from home requires new space or your hobbies expand, you will want a property with some flexibility for growth and adaptation! So, while you’re looking through a home and crossing things off of your list, remember to ask yourself how (or if) the space could be adapted for future changes to your life. This will make it the perfect home not just for now, but always!\nWith these key elements in mind, you can feel confident when buying your next home search will yield exactly the home you need. Enjoy the “hunt” for your perfect property!\nCheck out this article on how to lower your home utility bills!"}

{"text": "Question about Garden\nYou did not mention whether your mower has a 2-cycle or 4-cycle engine. 2-cycle engine may require 2-cycle oil mixed with the gas to lubricate the pistons/cylinders.\n4-cycle engines do not require mixing gas & oil as they have a separate sump for oil. These engines are quite easy to maintain and will last for many years. The most common problem is the fuel delivery system. If you allow the fuel to run low, debris sitting at the bottom of the tank is picked up and can clog the strainer (if so equipped). Check for a clogged in-line fuel filter and replace as needed. Occasional cleaning of the fuel inlet and strainer may be necessary; some disassembly is required. The carburetor jets also suffer from blockage usually caused by varnish residue from gasoline if the mower was allowed to sit for long periods of time without the fuel being drained or at least treated with some type of fuel stabilizer (Sta-Bil is one). If you have time, open up the carburetor and spray all the fuel passages with Gumout Carburetor cleaner to dissolve said varnish. Jiggle the choke mechanism while spraying to dislodge carbon build-up at the butterfly valve. And if you have a compressor, blow out these passages with pressurized air. Poking them with wire is a NO-NO. If it has a paper-element filter and it looks like you can plant grass on it, it is time to replace them. Does it have a re-usable/washable air filter? Clean the filter element with an air filter cleaner solution (or dishwash detergent) and re-oil (I use K&N filter oil) once dry.\nAlways use clean gas (your gas container may be contaminated over the years) and an ounce of STP carb cleaner per gallon of gas usually keeps things clean.\nPosted on Apr 04, 2011\nSpark plugs could also get fouled and misfire. It only takes a few seconds to replace one, especially if you went through all that trouble to clean the carburetor and gas lines...and it doesn't cost much.

{"text": "Shopping\nAmeya Yokocho (Ameyoko) アメヤ横丁\nTokyo's former black market, still a bargain haven\nTokyo is expensive, but in the Ameya Yokocho—or Ameyoko, as the locals call it—you can find bargains on almost everything. This makes for plenty of lively interactions not typical of most retail in Japan, so enjoy.\nDon't Miss\n- The chocolate vendor doing tatakiuri\n- Mountains of sports supplies\n- Fruit on a stick\nHow to Get There\nThis area is accessible by train.\nAmeya Yokocho is conveniently found right on the JR Yamanote Line. It runs right next to and underneath the tracks between Ueno and Okachimachi stations.\nGetting to know the neighborhood\nYou can start on either end. Get off at either Ueno Station or Okachimachi Station. Walk parallel to the elevated JR Yamanote Line tracks. Ameya Yokocho is actually on the inner side of the tracks, but the market has expanded underneath the tracks, in an arcade, and across the other side.\nJust call it Ameyoko\nPeople in Tokyo don't call the area by its official name. Everyone just says Ameyoko.\nAmeyoko became a huge marketplace after World War II. It started as a black market, selling many things that people who worked for the Occupation forces would get from the soldiers. It's uncertain how it came to be called Ameyoko, but some people say that it comes from the Japanese word for candy, ame, while others say that it's just short for American.\nThere are still a lot of sweets sold here.\nThe intersection near Ueno Station\nWhat is tatakiuri?\nThere is a chocolate shop near the Ueno end of Ameyoko that sells in an unusual manner, almost like an auction. Tatakiuri literally means bang-selling. Vendors will often hit something, like boxes, with a stick, as they sell.\nHere, the seller will add boxes of chocolate into the bag. He'll keep adding them until the bag is full. No matter how many he adds, the bag sells for 1,000 yen.\n10% off of 20% off of 30%\nIf it sounds confusing, it is. There are several stores that sell items at multiple discounts. There will be one sign saying 30% off. Then, another, saying that there is a special sale. Finally, a hawker will say that today is another special discount. The result is that often the mountains of stuff sold in front of stores are discounted up to 60 or 70 percent off the price on the label.\nSporting goods are often sold this way, and the brands are real, not knock-offs, although they may be from two or three seasons past. It's a true bargain.\nLook for the fruit vendors\nThere are many fruit vendors that sell fruit on a stick. Melons, strawberries and pineapple are common, but the fruits are whatever is in season and ripe.\nThere is so much more to see and do. If you're visiting friends, the crab, salmon roe, and other seafood are always appreciated as gifts. Or the matsutake mushrooms. These are always about half the price of most shops and a third of the price at department stores.\nNear Ameya Yokocho (Ameyoko)\n"}

{"text": "What is the difference between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis?\nWhat is the difference between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis?\nRheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common connective tissue diseases and the most destructive to the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, progressive, systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease process that primarily affects the synovial joints. With this condition, autoantibodies (rheumatoid factors) are formed that attack healthy tissue, especially synovium, causing inflammation.\nInflammation occurs first in the synovial membrane, which lines the joint cavity. It then begins to involve the articular cartilage, joint capsule, and surrounding ligaments and tendons.\nPermanent joint changes can be avoided if rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed early. Early, aggressive treatments to suppress synovitis may cause a remission. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease characterized by natural remissions and exacerbations. Medical treatment helps control the rheumatoid arthritis to decrease the intensity and number of exacerbations.\nRheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease; that is, areas of the body besides the synovial joints can be affected. Inflammatory responses similar to those occurring in synovial tissue may be seen in any organ or body system in which connective tissue is prevalent. The etiology of rheumatoid arthritis remains unclear, but research suggests a combination of environmental and genetic factors.\nRheumatoid Arthritis:\nEARLY DISEASE MANIFESTATIONS\nA person affected with rheumatoid arthritis typically complains of joint stiffness, swelling, pain, fatigue, and may complain of generalized weakness and morning stiffness. Anorexia and weight loss may occur early in the disease process. The upper extremity joints are often involved initially, typically the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the hands. These joints may be slightly reddened, warm, stiff, swollen, and tender or painful. The typical pattern of joint involvement in RA is bilateral and symmetric, and the number of joints involved usually increases as the disease progresses. Hence rheumatoid arthritis must not be taken for granted.\nRheumatoid Arthritis:\nLATE DISEASE MANIFESTATIONS\nAs the disease worsens, the joints become progressively inflamed and quite painful. Morning stiffness is present (also called as gel phenomenon), which lasts between 45 minutes and several hours after awakening. The joints feel soft and appear puffy due to synovitis and effusions (joint swelling with fluid, especially the knees).\nOsteoarthritis is the most common arthritis and the second most common cause of disability among adults in the United States. It is also a common cause of disability worldwide. It is characterized by the progressive deterioration and loss of cartilage in one or more joints. Weight bearing joints (hips and knees), the vertebral column, and the hands are primarily affected because they are used most often. Most people have the primary form of the disease; secondary osteoarthritis can result from other musculoskeletal conditions or from trauma. Osteoarthritis can also be classified as nodal (with hand involvement) or non-nodal (without hand involvement). Now you know about rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis."}

While the synth powered, bass hitting, vintage dance music minimizes the heavy vocals- today's generation relies on the lyrical sentiment portrayed in dance music's chart topping tracks. Whatever genre you are into- it can not be denied that when you throw in vocals, the track instantly becomes relatable. Here are our top 10 powerhouse female vocalists...\nNo.1 INNA\nOut of Romania, Inna (Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu) has taken charge of Europe's EDM charts since 2008 with her unique, ultra sexy vocals. The singer-songwriter was the first European female vocalist to surpass over 1 billion hits on YouTube. Her hit singles include Love (2008), DejaVu (2009), and Hot (2010) with three studio albums: Hot (2010), I am the Club Rocker (2012), and Party Never Ends (2013).\nNo.2 EMMA HEWITT\nWhat do we say about Emma Hewitt? Besides the fact that she is an Australian bombshell with mind shattering vocals...? Her collaborations with Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emery, Dash Berlin and Armin Van Buuren have put her name on a pedestal in the world of Trance. In 2012 Emma's debut album \"Burn The Sky Down\" took us on a roller coaster of ambient, vocal trance that keeps us coming back for more. Sing to us, Emma.\nNo.3 CARI GOLDEN\nCari Golden is a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter, with a captivating voice and a flair forthe unexpected. For over 10 years, Cari has entertained the likes of EDM producers from every end of the spectrum. Her multi-genre talent has landed her collaborations with Audiofly, Pan-Pot, Mario Zar, Android Cartel and many others- along with track releases on Armada Records,Ultra Records, Rapid Response Recordings and more.\nNo.4 ARUNA\nFinally, New Jersey gives us a woman worth talking about. Aruna Abrams is far from the world of orange \"jerseylicious guidettes”, and we could never thank her enough for that. Aruna's voice is as mysterious and enticing as her name, showcasing her vocals alongside the likes of Myon & Shane 54, ATB, Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten-- just to name a few. In 2012, Aruna became the first female solo artist to host Above & Beyond's international podcast, 'Trance Around the World.' This breakthrough put Aruna on the path to her own podcast- 'The Hot List,' which skyrocketed to #14 on iTunes Top 200 Podcasts.\nNo.5 NADIA ALI\nThis Pakistani-American vocalist caught the attention of Europe's dance music charts in 2001 asthe voice behind the band iiO, with the debut Hit Single \"Rapture.\" Nearly a decade later, Nadia Ali caught the attention of the world with \"Pressure,\" a collaboration with Alex Kenji and Starkillers- which became a worldwide festival anthem overnight. Ali's unique blend of trance, ballads, and eastern acoustic musical styles combined with a passion for songwriting has landed her a Grammy nomination, and an International Dance Music Award.\nNo.6 MAIDAY\nWhile Rachel Moulden is more widely known for her songwriting talent, she has proved that her voice is as promising as her lyrics. Known as Maiday, this British singer-songwriter-producer has produced songs for Wretch 32, Leona Lewis and Little Nikki. Her collaboration with Jakwob landed her a deal with Interscope records on July 4, 2013... We can't wait to hear what Maiday does to the EDM charts. Stay tuned for epicness.\nNo.7 JAHAN & YASMINE, KREWELLA\nWho gets wet, smells like whiskey, and makes you feel alive? Krewella. And we love it. Jahan and Yasmine make up the unmistakable vocals of Krewella, a trio from Chicago. While we dig your production skills, Rainman- this feature is for the girls. Or Trolls, as they call themselves. Krewella began their career with the tracks \"Strobelights\" and \"Life of the Party.\" The songs gained popularity on several online audio distribution platforms, which led to the hit, \"One Minute.\" In 2012, Krewlla dropped their EP \"Play Hard,\" and they've been rapidly climbing to the top ever since.\nNo.8 MAYA JANE COLES/NOCTURNAL SUNSHINE\nMusic Producer, Audio Engineer, DJ, Music Extraordinaire... Seemingly describes Maya Jane Cole. Based out of the UK, Maya composes/produces deep house and underground garage tracks by day, and as the night takes over- so does her dubstep alias- Nocturnal Sunshine. At the age of 15, Mayabegan producing trip-hop tracks, which led to her first two records in 2008/2009, released by Dogmatik Records. 2011 proved to be a rewarding year for Maya, winning Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, Mixmag's Best Breakthrough DJ, and DJ Mag's Producer of the Year. Her debut full length album, \"Comfort,\" was released earlier this year.\nNo.9 FIORA\nSongwriter. Singer. Producer. Orchestral Composer. Meet, Fiora Cutler (Fiora). This multi-talented musical sensation from Tasmania first showcased her talents with the lyrically compelling track by Antillas, \"Damged.\" Her career began with Opera in the Queensland Orchestra in 2001. Her passion for music combined with a talent for composition led her into the world of dance music, where she has since produced tracks along the sides of Armin Van Buuren, Seven Lions, and Arty.\nNo.10 MIRIAM & OLIViA, NERVO\nIf you have not been a part of the Australian twin revelation known as 'Nervo,' you need to crawl out from the rock you've been living under. Miriam and Olivia began their quest as songwriters, publishing music for multiple international pop stars- including Kelly Rowland and David Guetta's number one hit, \"When Love Takes Over.\" Their success immediately landed them a collaboration with Afrojack, \"The Way We See the World,\" which became the Tomorrowland Anthem, and has put them at the Belgium festival’s main stage for three consecutive years."}

LOVE them.\ni’ve seen lots of people with this image tattooed, but never as a full back piece.\nhehehe good quote, makes me think of terry pratchett’s “night watch”.I like the detail and colour acutnes\nlove the quote, but id have to ask the wearer why that old over-used image for a backpiece? hopefully it has some strong personal meaning(s).\nnicely done, btw!\nThe person in the photo is Daisy. She is our pride and joy here at Evolved\ndaisy!! she rocks!\nMaybe it’s the camera angle but the arm looks out of whack. The bicep is really small compared to the forearm. The arm is bent at the elbow so the forearm would bulge a bit but not that much. The wrist as well is too wide.\nNice tattoo though\nrosie the riveter for the win!\nwoot woot! daisy is the jam.\ndethkok, do you routinely come across people who use rosie the riveter image without having strong personal feeling behind the iconography? I don’t think that is has saturated mainstream culture enough to be even remotely compared to say Che…\nI love the combination of the quote and the image. It makes a whole lot of sense and can be analyzed and looked at from soo many different perspectives.\noh helllllllllllllllllls yea!!!\nMUCH LOVE to the wearer of this back piece!!!\nbeautiful\nWe can do it!\nthis young lady must have many fine bachelors courting her.\ndaisy is our pride and joy!\njoe did a great job with her back piece and i think it suits her perfectly!\namazing! i love it.\nThat is awesome!\nsuch a wonderful image of Daisy, ruined by such awful awful lettering\nwhoa… that bicep is way too skinny and her head is too big.\nHead and bicep look off. But considering everyone’s happy with it, whatev’s. There’s a lot of things going on in terms of angles, shading and back contours so you can’t be too critical of it.\nRosie the Riveter is such an icon. Not only is she a strong, femme female, but her creation was a public acknowledgment that women aren’t weak, simpering creatures.\nthe WW2 motif…Cool,ROSIE THE RIVETER..too cool\nDiFranco..fuck her,leftist commie swine\nThis is amaazing!!!\nRighteous Babe!

Y.\nClarissa Turner born Oct. 3d. 1820\nGeorge T. Harris born Sept. 3d 1849 [corrected to 30 1848]\nCharles H. Harris Jan. 10th 1852\nL. Adelbert Harris Oct. 19th 1854\nClarissa Harris Jan. 25th 1879\nSalmon Harris March. 17. 1898\nCharles H. Harris Apl. 7, 1908\nThe following is written in pencil on paper, which is with the Bible records. It is thought to have been written by George Harris:\nFather was born in the town of Otego in the year 1821. Grandfather Harris' given name was Silas and Grandmother's Diana Pratt Harris, who was born in Pratsville [sic] N. Y. Grandfather Harris came from Connecticut and his father from England.\nThe tradition, so common among New York families of New England origin, that the great grand father came from England, was probably due to the fact that the older people called themselves English.\nThis abstract was made from the records of the New Gardens and Deep River Meetings, Guilford County, North Carolina,and were obtained from the Quaker Archives of North Carolina.\n*See Albert Cook Myers, Immigration of Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania.\nTHE EDITOR'S CORNER..\nWhat are we doing to preserve our valuable school census records in Nebraska? Are these old records, which the County Superintendent of Schools no longer consults and which take up room often needed for later records, to be left to the mercy of some zealous house cleaning official? The Nebraska Territorial Census Records of 1854 and 1855 have already disappeared. Less than two years ago the records of more than twenty G. A. R. posts were found in possession of a junk dealer, where they had been sold as old paper. As each pioneer family is broken up and scattered, important private papers are certain to be destroyed. For instance, many pioneer physicians kept records of the cases they attended, giving dates of birth and the ages of their patients; many ministers kept complete records of marriages performed, notes regarding the sick visited and statements of funerals attended.\nFederal and school census records are the very foundation of the history of the state, the source upon which the statistics of population, migrations, social organization and industries of early times are based. The true history of the state cannot be written without them. The genealogical value is only one of the many reasons why our early records must be preserved. We need an archivist in Nebraska to search out, bargain for, and properly file all old records, public and private, to be found in the state. Now is the time to act."}
{"text": "Tin Top\nTin Side 1\nTin Side 2\nTin Side 3\nTin Side 3\nA few months ago, to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the Fossil Watch Company sponsored a contest. The contest's theme was based on travel, and the assignment was to design one of their tin containers that their watches are packaged in. Because I'm competitive, and there was nice prize money involved, I entered the contest.\nContests are tough, not just because you want to stand out from everyone else, but you have to try and figure what will be appealing to the judges. I decided to try to create an illustrative cartoon image. I wanted to use a cross between Hanna-Barbera cartoons and the styles of 60s children's magazines. I thought most people would go the route of using road signs, travel stickers and gasoline memorabilia for inspiration, so I chose a different path. I wanted each side of the tin to show what represented a different geographic part of the country. I actually was most proud of the tag line I wrote for the top of the tin, \"It's About Time!\" Do you get it? Anyway, I thought it was clever.\nWell, I didn't win...but I was notified that I had made it to the second round. Out of 800 entrants, mine was one of the top 30. What won? Well, it was tins showing road signs, travel stickers, and gasoline memorabilia..."}

And as you can see here, no one – be they burro, horse, squirrel, bear, tiger or coyote – can resist carving up a delicious pumpkin.\nSammy the bear investigates a pumpkin at the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch. Photo by Mikkaela Scott/The HSUS\nEach Halloween, staff members at the centers do their best to make Halloween extra fun for the animals in their care. But the work they do year-round for these animals, who are in critical need of help by the time they come to us, is even more amazing.\nAt the Duchess Sanctuary in Oakland, Oregon, operated by our affiliate, the Fund for Animals, we look after nearly 200 rescued horses and burros. Many of the mares were rescued from the Pregnant Mare Urine (PMU) industry, through the generous support of the Ark Watch Foundation. The mares had spent decades in stalls, impregnated and hooked up to machines to collect their urine. Other residents include mustangs, former race horses, and horses and burros rescued from slaughter, starvation and neglect.\nOur two affiliated wildlife centers — South Florida Wildlife Center in Fort Lauderdale and the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona, California – provide rehabilitative and medical care for thousands of wild mammals and birds each year, including sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. After treatment and rehabilitation, the animals are released back into the wild.\nA squirrel enjoys a pine cone for Halloween at the South Florida Wildlife Center. Photo by Shelby Whitebread/The HSUS\nA few days back, I visited our Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, also operated by the Fund for Animals. The ranch is home to more than 800 domestic and exotic animals, from tigers to cattle, horses and burros, great apes and bison. Many of these animals were rescued from slaughterhouses, laboratories, roadside zoos and trophy hunting ranches. Others came from public lands where they were threatened with extermination by the federal government.\nEven the chimpanzees at Project Chimps, a sanctuary supported by the HSUS, enjoyed a special “Chimp or Treat” event, with visitors providing fun enrichment for the animals while learning more about them.\nNoel the chimp enjoys a pumpkin treat at Project Chimps, a 236-acre sanctuary in Georgia supported by the HSUS. Photo by Crystal Alba/Project Chimps\nThese animals are resilient and eager to take advantage of the enrichments we provide, including at Halloween time. As Deborah Robbins Millman, SFWC Director of Operations, explains, “the enrichment items, including carved pumpkins and peanut butter and nut-stuffed pinecones, keep our patients actively engaged and encourage the foraging behaviors they’ll need to thrive in the wild. Jack-o-lanterns are not only a Halloween icon, they also provide crevices for paws to dig out tasty pulp and seeds. Once the delicious morsels are consumed, the shells stimulate exercise, hiding and other positive, natural behaviors.”\nAs heartbreaking as their histories are, the animals thrive in our care and heal. After spending an incredible day with the animals at the Black Beauty Ranch, I stopped to read, once again, a sign that hangs over the ranch’s entrance. It’s a quote from the moving novel, Black Beauty, and it reads: “I have nothing to fear; and here my story ends. My troubles are all over, and I am at home…” These pictures of the animals, carefree and at play without a worry in the world, capture the sentiment of that quote beautifully.\nI hope they bring a smile to your face, as they did to mine.\nA resident of the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona, California, meets a box animal for Halloween. Photo by the HSUS\nI love this! Wonderful post that for sure made me smile!"}

{"text": "pyina 0.1a1\nMPI parallel map and cluster scheduling\nThe pyina package provides several basic tools to make MPI-based high-performance computing more accessible to the end user. The goal of pyina is to allow the user to extend their own code to MPI-based high-performance computing with minimal refactoring.\nThe central element of pyina is the parallel map-reduce algorithm. Pyina currently provides two strategies for executing the parallel-map, where a strategy is the algorithm for distributing the work list of jobs across the available nodes. These strategies can be used “in-the-raw” (i.e. directly) to provide map-reduce to a user’s own mpi-aware code. Further, pyina provides the “ez_map” interface, which is a map-reduce implementation that hides the MPI internals from the user. With ez_map, the user can launch their code in parallel batch mode – using standard python and without ever having to write a line of parallel python or MPI code.\nThere are several ways that a user would typically launch their code in parallel – directly with “mpirun” or “mpiexec”, or through the use of a scheduler such as torque or slurm. Pyina encapsulates several of these ‘launchers’, and provides a common interface to the different methods of launching a MPI job.\nPyina is part of pathos, a python framework for heterogenous computing. Pyina is in the early development stages, and any user feedback is highly appreciated. Contact Mike McKerns [mmckerns at caltech dot edu] with comments, suggestions, and any bugs you may find. A list of known issues is maintained at.\nMajor Features\nCurrent Release\nThe latest stable release version is pyina-0.1a1. You can download it here. The latest stable version of pyina\nPyina is packaged to install from source, so you must download the tarball, unzip, and run the installer:\n[download] $ tar -xvzf pyina-0.2a.dev.tgz $ cd pyina-0.2a.dev $ python setup py build $ python setup py install\nYou will be warned of any missing dependencies and/or settings after you run the “build” step above. Pyina depends on dill and mpi4py, so you should install them first. A version of MPI must also be installed. Pyina’s launchers that submit to a scheduler will throw errors if the underlying scheduler is not available, however a scheduler is not required for pyina to execute.\nThe current implementation of pyina required slight modifications to one external dependency. This dependency and installation instructions are provided in the pyina.external directory for users installing without setuptools.\nAlternately, pyina can be installed with easy_install:\n[download] $ easy_install -f . pyina\nRequirements\nPyina requires:\n- python, version >= 2.5, version < 3.0 - mpi4py, version >= 1.2.1 - dill, version >= 0.2a.dev\nOptional requirements:\n- setuptools, version >= 0.6 - pyre, version == 0.8 - mystic, version >= 0.2a2.dev\nUsage Notes\nProbably the best way to get started is to look at a few of the examples provided within pyina. See pyina.examples for a set of scripts that demonstrate the configuration and launching of mpi-based parallel jobs using the ez_map interface. Also see pyina.examples_other for a set of scripts that test the more raw internals of pyina.\nImportant classes and functions are found here:\n- pyina.pyina.ez_map [the map-reduce API definition] - pyina.pyina.mappers [all available strategies] - pyina.pyina.schedulers [all available schedulers] - pyina.pyina.launchers [all available launchers]\nMapping strategies are found here:\n- pyina.pyina.parallel_map [the card-dealer strategy] - pyina.pyina.parallel_map2 [the equal-portion strategy]\nPyina also provides two convience scripts that help navigate the MPI environment. These scripts are installed to a directory on the user’s $PATH, and thus can be run from anywhere:\n- machines.py [list the available MPI nodes] - mpi_world.py [setup/teardown of the MPI environment]\nIf may also be convienent to set a shell alias for the launch of ‘raw’ mpi-python jobs. Set something like the following (for bash):\n$ alias mpython1='mpiexec -np 1 `which python`' $ alias mpython2='mpiexec -np 2 `which python`' $ ...\nLicense\nPyina is distributed under a 3-clause BSD license.\n>>> import pyina >>> print pyina.license()\nCitation\nIf you use pyina to do research that leads to publication, we ask that you acknowledge use of pyina.\n- Author: Mike McKerns\n- Maintainer: Mike McKerns\n- Download URL:\n- License: 3-clause BSD\n- Platform: Linux, Mac\n- Categories\n- Package Index Owner: mmckerns\n- DOAP record: pyina-0.1a1.xml"}
{"text": "You know when Amazon does it, it means big things – and Amazon has just debuted a 3D printer section that provides supplies for 3D printing.\nCurrently, Amazon only sells 3D printing supplies from well-known and well-trusted 3D printer manufacturers, like Makerbot and Cubify. They have even begun to sell a small assortment of actual 3D printers. The cheapest up for sale right now is the JET/Open Source 3D printer Replicator G, which starts at $1,099 for just the printer without any of the accessories. The high end is the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D printer, which costs $2,500 just for the bare bones.\nWhile these prices are still extremely high and out of the price range for many people, they’ve dropped significantly since introduction, making them almost affordable for the general population, and definitely affordable for small and medium sized businesses. Recent projects such as HomeBrew have also provided more pricing information on 3D printers, proving that one can be built for about $1,000.\nBecause of the sudden affordability of these printers, free and low-cost models for them have begun to grow in popularity. Some of these designs are more practical, such as bowls, but designs for models are also interesting and obscure as well. Recent deviations include a hermit crab shell that a hermit crab may actually use and mini-dinosaurs with moving legs and heads.\nAmazon is currently in the middle of expanding their store to lesser-known brands and is working on diversifying the printers they sell. Meanwhile, Staples is the first home-and-office store that has decided to start selling 3D printers on their shelves.\nWhile we may not have many practical uses for 3D printers as of yet, time will tell if the 3D printer is simply a simple fad or if it will become an important part of businesses and homes alike."}
{"text": "Right now, we are getting many polls thrown at us daily. Usually I get annoyed because I’ve never been called, but this year, my wife did. There are two big problems I have with the polling system.\nThe first is that a lot of the polls right now target likely voters based on the last election cycle. This is a fallacy as we have a record number of new voters registered and very often, eligible youth do not get polled. Right now, with democrats registering at a higher rate than republicans, and with the youth mostly pulling for Obama, both of these would lean toward Obama, by demographics.\nThe second thing is that these polls aren’t scientific. They usually have high margins of error, and only target people that have a dial tone phone, or that will answer the phone when an unrecognized number at that. This means it hurts both the internal and external validity of these polls. This is not good or bad for either candidate other than the ‘momentum’ factor, which probably doesn’t really do anything but give news stations something to talk about.\nWe are three weeks away from election day and no debates left. The race isn’t over, and it’s probably going to get a lot more dirtier along the way."}

{"text": "If beach. Yes, New York City, basically an archipelago or group of islands, sits on the Atlantic Ocean and has a number of beaches. Don’t get me wrong, NYC is not Hawaii, the experience, the weather, the atmosphere is much different, but for those interested in sunbathing or wasting a day swimming in the ocean, make a plan to visit these options below.\n- Jacob Riis Park Beach\nLocated along the Rockaway Peninsula in New York City’s largest borough, Queens, Jacob Riis Park beach is a former U.S. Naval air station turned public park, which is now referred to affectionately as “The People’s Beach.” In typical New York fashion, it draws a diverse crowd of people from all over the city, and has an old-school charm and a number of attractions that are both vibrant and relaxing, depending on your goals. There’s also golfing and a beautiful park nearby.\n- South Beach\nSouth Beach, formerly known as Graham Beach, is one of the most popular attractions on Staten Island. With a picturesque view of the Verrazano Bridge and trees in the background, beachgoers can enjoy free concerts, fishing, kayaking, and tennis at this public paradise. Furthermore, there is a mobile charging station for those who need to rejuvenate their phones after taking dozens of pictures and sharing the beach’s popular fountain of dolphins on social media.\n- Coney Island\nProbably one of the most renowned attractions in the city, this Brooklyn staple is unlike anything you can experience elsewhere. Filled with concessions, including the famous Nathan’s Hot Dogs, and a variety of shops and shows, Coney Island is an experience, not just a beach. To boot, there is an amusement park on location, with a variety of rides, roller coasters, and a large ferris wheel, as well as a full list of rides for children. It may not necessarily be the place for sunbathing in peace, but you’ll have a good time.\n- Long Beach\nThis one is not in New York City, but it is neither is it far away. Just a few miles east, in Nassau County on Long Island, Long Beach is one of the more beautiful places in the metropolitan area, and certainly one of the more pristine beaches to which we have access. Come here for surfing, biking, or just to enjoy a respite from the everyday hustle of the city. Beware, those $13 and over do have to pay a fee to enter designated areas, but most spaces are open to the general public."}

{"text": "ARA News\nThe.\nThe Asayish security forces led by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria’s Kurdish region (Rojava) have arrested over 40 members of the pro-Barzani Kurdish National Council (KNC) after clashes in Sinjar between the KDP-linked Rojava Peshmerga forces and the PKK-affiliated Shingal Resistance Units (YBS).\nThis while the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP)-led security forces arrested 23 opposition protestors of which six are still being held in prison in Iraqi Kurdistan.\nAccording to a KNC member from Qamishli, who talked to ARA News on condition of anonymity for safety reasons, at least 13 KNC offices were closed down by the PYD-led local authorities. “Most of these offices were destroyed and burnt before closing,” he said.\nThe KNC office in Geneva last Thursday released a statement saying that several KNC offices were burned and KNC members were arrested.\n“More than twenty offices have been torched or demolished, and subsequently were sealed up by PYD security forces,” the KNC said. “The same happened to the office of the Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO) in Hisiça (Hasakah). Because of frequent reports on human rights violations and torture taking place in PYD prisons, the KNC is concerned about the soundness of its detained members,” the KNC said.\nThe local canton administration issued a 24-hours deadline last week that political parties had to register according to the law of April 2014 within 24 hours, or face closure. Following the deadline, all offices of non-registered parties were closed.\nIn a press release issued on Thursday, the Syrian opposition’s National Coalition (SNC) said that attacks have been launched “under illegal decisions and decrees that were issued by organizations that do not represent the Syrian people nor respect their will. These decisions and decrees are an attempt by the PYD militias to grant legitimacy to their actions through terror and the force of arms.”\nThe KDP security forces also stopped a seminar on the Sinjar crisis, preventing Mohammed Kayani, a former parliament member for the anti-KDP opposition party Gorran in Baghdad, from speaking.\n“I was prevented by a huge Presidential force to held a debate about the causes of tension between PKK and KDP and how to avoid intra-Kurdish fighting in Erbil,” Mohammed Kayani, an ex-politician of the Gorran movement told ARA News on Thursday.\nLast week, the PKK-affiliated media accused the KDP of threatening Kurdish refugees from Turkey in Duhok that fled from Turkey during the war between the PKK and the government in the 1990s.\nMoreover, one civilian was killed when KDP security forces opened fire on a pro-PKK protest in Sinjar last Tuesday, in which also two Kurdish journalists were injured.\nThe tensions are a result of the competition between the affiliates of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) over control in the Kurdish territories of Syria and Iraq.\nThe KDP-linked media have accused the PKK of being under the influence of Iran, while the PKK-affiliated media have accused the KDP of being under the influence of Turkey.\nSipan Seyda, a Kurdish activist in Erbil, told ARA News that only the United States can solve the problems between the two sides.\nIn 1998, the US also forced the Iraqi Kurdish ruling parties –KDP and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK)– to solve their differences and end a civil war in which hundreds were killed.\n“The Kurds are divided now between different regional axes [countries],” Seyda told ARA News. “Only Americans can solve the problems between the Kurdish parties, since America has relations with both sides.”\nThe US-led coalition supports the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Syria, while at the same time it backs and trains Peshmerga forces in Iraqi Kurdistan, including the Rojava Peshmerga fighters who are part of the KDP-affiliated Zerevani forces.\nSource: ARA News\nFor the latest news follow us on Twitter\nJoin our Weekly Newsletter"}

Here it.\nDo you have a certain style?\nMonday, September 21, 2009\nWednesday, September 16, 2009\nPower of Prayer\nI just thought I would share how excited I was tonight. Our church holds a prayer meeting every Wednesday from 7-8. Most of the time there aren't more than 20 people there, mainly due to the summer months taking up time with yard work or sports, etc.. Tonight was a different story-there was about 35 people. It's not really about numbers but when you think about it there are 20-35 people right in our own community praying for needs in our little town, our country, our world and for those who we hold near to our hearts. These people are faithfully meeting every week. I know of a group of women who gather every Thursday night taking turns at their houses for prayer group. So many answered prayers have come out of us faithfully gathering to lift up prayers to our Father! I encourage each one of you to take time to meet with Him daily. Find a prayer partner to meet with weekly or monthly.\nWhere two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Lately I have had way too much to do and somthing had to give. I wanted to let the laundry go since that is the one thing I could put off. Well when I think about it I don't mind sorting or putting into the washer. I also like to smell the clean fresh clothes drying and to feel their warmth as I take them out of the dryer...that's where the task turns from love to\nhate not really like. My wonderful husband on the other hand despises laundry left unfolded and not put away. The next logical thing that had to be put to the back burner was the computer. Don't get me wrong I have hopped on fb at midnight for like 5 min or so but I have really stayed away from the computer. The reason for my sabbatical you ask... 1) I had my first and second show to get ready for 2) Haily started 5th grade-my how the time goes quickly 3) Fall programs started at church and I had Sunday School stuff to get ready :) 4) Gardening HAD to get done... I could keep going but mentioning gardening brings me to a thought. I'm thinking that my arm (the inside fleshy part, the part that shakes when you raise your arm to wave..you all know what I'm talking about) and rump hurt. As I was cleaning out the mint that has taken over my herb garden bees started to buzz around. Before I knew it I was stung in the arm. I ran around my back yard like someone was chasing me with a knife. Then before my sweet husband could stop me I was stripping off my shirt and swinging it all around. The bee was STUCK inside my shirt. I felt stupid after I realized what I had done and made a glance up to make sure my neighbors didn't see me (I knew they could hear me). I slowly put my shirt back on and went to digging again. Then came the bees; 20 or so this time. I ran like a mad women, they chased me, they were in my shirt again, off it came again!!! I could still hear it buzz, buzz, buzz. I realized that I had a BEEhive hair do. Yup they were in my hair. I started shaking my head all around and next thing I knew my hand went to my rump. It got me right smack dab in the middle of my behind...I was DONE!! I have to say that getting stung 2 times is enough for me to call it quits. So that is what I have been up to. Things are getting back into a schedule for us.?"}
{"text": "Little Common Football Club suffered an agonising late defeat in its first ever FA Cup match today (Saturday).\nThe Commoners conceded a 92nd minute goal to lose 2-1 against their new landlords Eastbourne United AFC in an extra preliminary round tie which they led with 15 minutes of normal time to go.\nLittle Common captain Lewis Hole in the thick of the action.\nIt was a terrific effort from last season’s Macron Store Southern Combination Football League Division One runners-up Common against an Eastbourne team which finished seventh in the Premier Division.\nCommon player-manager Russell Eldridge included summer signings Sam Ellis, Lewis Parsons, Jerome Smith and Liam Ward in his starting line-up, as well as Wes Tate, who had played just 45 minutes in pre-season following an ankle ligament injury.\nEastbourne hit the woodwork twice in the opening 16 minutes. Adil Salih firstly rattled the crossbar with a splendid 25-yard free kick, then Adebola Sotoyinbo struck the outside of the near post from the right-hand side of the box having skipped past Eldridge.\nOther than one timely Eldridge intervention, there was little goalmouth incident during the rest of the first half. Although Common offered little going forward, they looked comfortable defensively as they allowed Eastbourne to have the ball at the back but made themselves difficult to play through.\nEastbourne United attacking player Michael Ginno shapes to deliver a cross, watched closely by Common duo Lewis Parsons and Wes Tate.\nCommon broke the stalemate with a lovely goal from Harry Saville in the fourth minute of the second period. A neat move started by goalkeeper Matt Cruttwell which also involved Ward, Louis Walker and Ellis ended with the ball rebounding out to Saville, who curled a delightful shot into the top corner from the edge of the box.\nEastbourne were whiskers away from equalising six minutes later. The impressive Kane Penn unleashed a shot from the edge of the area which crashed against the underside of the crossbar and bounced down the right side of the line as far as Common were concerned.\nEastbourne continued to enjoy most of the possession, but were still finding it difficult to break down Common, who fashioned a couple of half-chances on the break. Tate fired over from outside the box and an Ellis header - after Lewis Hole did well to hook the ball across from near the corner flag - was held by Eastbourne goalkeeper Phil Hawkins.\nMoments after making their second substitution, Eastbourne equalised in the 77th minute. A low ball in from their right arrived at the feet of Penn, who drilled home a low shot from just outside the area.\nCommon celebrate Harry Saville's terrific opening goal.\nWith Eastbourne having struck the frame of the goal on three occasions, it was Common’s turn to hit the woodwork in the 87th minute. Jared Lusted received a Smith throw-in and advanced forward before unleashing a 30-yard thunderbolt which smacked against the crossbar.\nEastbourne forward Lucas Mann couldn’t direct an instinctive effort on target as the clock ticked down and with thoughts turning towards a potential replay, Eastbourne grabbed a well-worked winner in the second minute of added time.\nPeter Cooper played a lovely little ball round the corner to release Sotoyinbo on the left and his low cross was perfect for Ashley Jarvis to turn home from close range.\nEldridge wasn’t far away with an audacious effort straight from the resulting kick-off, but it was Eastbourne who advanced to a preliminary round tie away to Chatham Town or Littlehampton Town on August 19.\nCommon full-back Jerome Smith wins an aerial duel.\nThe game was played in bright sunshine and ended just before a torrential downpour hit The Oval which would’ve drenched many spectators as they left the ground.\nCommon: Cruttwell, Walker, J. Smith, Ward, Parsons, Eldridge, Saville (Lusted 84), Tate (Wells 90+2), Hole, Ellis, A. Smith (Crone 73). Subs not used: Bristow, Maynard."}

{"text": "After a few weeks of oaking the Maple Mead, it was time to remove the oak chips from the mead. At first glance, the color change of the brew was obvious. The oak chips turned the mead from pale yellow to a translucent brown.\nThe next stage of this brew involves aging the mead off of the oak chips for at least 3 months prior to bottling. For this step, I racked both carboys into the same bucket, cleaned out the carboys, then decanted the mead back into each of jugs.\nAt this point I took a tasting sample. The mead had changed from being the usual sweet honey beverage to a bourbon-tasting cocktail. I liked the flavor, but at this point, the oak/bourbon notes are much too strong. The few months of aging should help to mellow it out and bring back some of the maple and honey characteristics.\nAt this point in time with cooler weather quickly approaching, I plan to place these carboys in a separate area away from the main brew closet to free up some space to brew a new beverage. I can't have these two carboys block my ability to make more delicious drinks! Expect to see some different homebrewing creations while these are aging!"}

{"text": "May 2, 2010\nFifth Sunday of Easter\nActs 11:1-18\nNotes:\nAnn Nichols is a missionary to Zambia, a country in Southern Africa. She writes about her first home visit in a Global Ministries update letter. She has always vowed to eat whatever has been offered to her. This is especially important when families with limited resources prepare food specifically for guests like missionaries. She has eaten guinea pig, a hundred year old egg, roasted goat, and millet drink. But on her first visit to a Zambian home she was faced with a basket of worms. She suggests holding your breath if a strange food has a strong odor. But, she says, the roasted caterpillars looked like roasted caterpillars. They didn’t smell, but the chewy texture and the very idea of eating a worm was too much for her. She managed to get half of one down, but that was her limit. Thankfully she only put two on her plate.\nIn the Acts text Peter shares his own missionary encounter with his home church. Which is a bit strange when we think about it. In the opening of Acts, during his ascension, Christ commissions the believers to go out and be his witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. But there were believers who stayed behind in Judea. Peter heard this call and went to the ends of the earth, even to the Gentiles. To Caesarea to be exact.\nCaesarea was a large Roman capital city and was a major port. It had all the major amenities of a pagan Roman city including theaters, temples to multiple gods and even a grand temple devoted to Caesar Augustus. It wasn’t a Jewish city, and certainly not a Christian city. Maybe not so unlike our modern cities – which have limited Christian influence.\nIn the middle of Peter’s report, the believers in Judea openly criticize him. They say “Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?” I thought this was kind of strange when I first read it. Were these believers criticizing Peter for being an evangelist? But take a close look at the criticism. They didn’t say “Peter, what were you doing spreading the gospel to Gentiles?” They weren’t even offended that Gentiles accepted Jesus. The criticism was “Why did you go in the home and eat with Gentiles?” This may be a bit difficult for us modern readers to understand. Whats the big deal we might ask, he just had a meal with them. But Peter was a Jew and eating with Gentiles was really a big deal.\nHe recalls a vision he had in which a sheet came down from heaven with all sorts of nasty food in it – or at least unclean, non-kosher food. And God said get up, kill and eat. This would have been quite strange for Peter to go to a Gentile house that did not keep kosher. It may be difficult for us to understand the importance of kosher – sometimes they sound like silly unnecessary laws. For example kosher forbids Jews from eating meat with blood in it, or a certain part of an animals leg; it also forbids eating certain animals. But each of these rules points to prayer. Jews couldn’t eat meat with blood because blood was used in ritual sacrifice, they couldn’t eat a certain part of the leg because they remember Jacob wrestling with God and striking him on that part of the leg. Jews could only eat animals that were acceptable for sacrifice. You see, kosher pointed to prayer, which pointed to God. Everything, down to the way they ate, pointed to God as a prayer. Think of it this way. I normally pray for my food, but sometimes when I am out at restaurants or with friends or certain family members I may refrain. And it feels strange, like I am giving up just a little bit about who I am for the sake of the other. That is sort of what it would have been like for Peter to go and eat with a Gentile and not observe kosher, but in a much bigger way. The Jewish people have been keeping these laws and rules for thousands and thousands of years and in the eyes of the believers back home Peter just abandoned that history.\nMy grandfather was a very proud United Auto Worker, for those of you who may not know UAW folks work on American cars, and they are very proud to work on American cars. He worked for GM for maybe 30 or 40 years before he retired. Granddad always told us that every time someone bought a foreign car, GM laid off 10 employees. Imagine how he felt when he found out that my dad bought a Toyota pick up truck. He was devastated, he was angry, and he felt betrayed. He gave me dad the silent treatment for several years following the truck purchase. He remembered that up till the day he died. For Peter to give up kosher and eat with a Gentile would have been somewhat like this kind of family betrayal in the eyes of the Jews back home.\nBut Peter listened to God when he called him to spread the good news outside the box. Peter didn’t say “Okay Lord, I will go preach the good news – but only to people like myself.” He didn’t say “Okay Lord, I will go and preach to people different than me – but don’t make me eat with them!” He didn’t say “Okay Lord, I will ever go to them – but don’t change me!” We normally think of evangelism as changing the non-believers, but how strange is it that here evangelism actually changes the evangelist!\nThis story raises some interesting challenges and questions for us. I do not believe that this is only a history lesson. I believe that God continues to call his church outside of their comfort zones – to go to those most unlike ourselves. How might we be called outside of our boxes today? Where is God at work in our communities? Where is God at work in people not like us? What if (fill in the blank) group of people came to accept the good news, here in Timberville? What if democrats, republicans, hippies, punk teenagers, people from the trailer park, people with a different skin color than ourselves, those who speak a different language…what if people like that accepted the good news? What would be the same for us? What would be different? How might we be called to welcome them? And how might we be called to change, like Peter?\nPerhaps the most important question of all; as Peter is retelling the story to the believers back in Jerusalem he observes that the Gentiles accepted God just as we have, and if God does it – who are we to hinder God? How can we hinder God? – We can’t."}
{"text": "A few weeks ago, we launched a program called Code Sniper. The goal was to accelerate development of open source code from the community, giving a cash incentive (1,000 to 3,000 dollars). Last week we launched Phone Sniper. The goal here is to formalize the unbelievable amount of input we get every day about phones working with our platform and the development of \"Synclets\", small pieces of code that make a particular phone (with a certain firmware version, on a specific carrier on the planet) work with Funambol. If you do it and share it, we pay you 25 dollars.\nNow the question: wait, are you giving them cash??? Isn't this open source, where everybody works for free, you love each other and just want to topple Micro$oft because it is evil?. Actually, we would love to work with Microsoft (although they might not like our open standard approach, because they might actually trying to be the evil empire afterall...)\nWith our honest dual licensing approach, we are not upselling to our community. We are building the best platform possible, together. The community is us. Many make money bundling the solution and giving it to their customers, with the professional services around it. Some do not, they are single individuals just helping for the sake of it. Funambol though keeps making money with the Carrier Edition, selling it to mobile operators. Our customers are giving us cash (not Playstations). Why should we keep it all for ourselves or give the community yet-another-gadget?\nTherefore, yes, we are giving them cash. There is nothing evil in that. It helps us making cash. Some comes back. The software improves even more. We make more cash. More comes back. Is that simple. There is nothing dirty in cash. Cash is great.\nAnd, by the way, it works phenomenally. Code Sniper attracted developers now building a Google Calendar and Address Book connector, a Yahoo one, a Symbian one, a DB4O integration and so on. Phone Sniper got to 50 phones in two days. Good luck to any proprietary company trying to do this. Open source rules.\nIn case you are interested to hear more, I wrote about Balancing Open Source and Commerce in the Enterprise Open Source Magazine which is out this week (I believe). It is a long article, I warn you. But it might give you the entire story of the tight-rope walk in a single piece. So you could stop follow my blog and save some time ;-)"}

{"text": "In a story full of twists and turns that only served to make the entire overarching issue even more bizarre, this one actually clears things up a bit. Well, kind of. Yesterday, you might remember some truly mystifying comments from Milton Grimes, the lawyer for (alleged) Manti Te’o hoax mastermind Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, that indicated Tuiasosopo provided the voice for Lennay Kekua for “her” many lengthy calls to Te’o. This was already confounding because: 1) if true, how did Te’o not figure this out???; and 2) Tuiasosopo’s actual voice sounds like this.\nAnd it was only made more strange by the release of voicemails “Kekua” left for Te’o – they sounded for all the world like the work of a woman. So what the hell was going on here? Well, to hear relatives of Tuiasosopo’s say it, not quite what Grimes said was going.\nAnd… that makes a lot more sense than Tuiasosopo having magic voice powers, hence why we’re a little less confused today than yesterday. The question this revelation – assuming it actually is a revelation and not just one more lie atop what is already a mountain of them – doesn’t answer, though: why would Tuiasosopo, through his lawyer, lie about having done the voice? One relative speculated it’s because he wants all the blame to fall on him, while his lawyer apparently wasn’t talking. (Speaking of that lawyer, another thing this new report would clear up: his piss-poor explanation for how Tuiasosopo was able to pretend to be a woman, “Hollywood does it all the time.” Good one, guy.)\nThough this story has conditioned us to expect that everything we think we know about it will soon be overturned, leading to reports tomorrow that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is also not real and tat this is all the result of a prank pulled by a still-living Andy Kaufman, this Post report today, for now, brings this story back into reality just a bit. Of course, there’s still a lot we don’t know – for example, what endgame did Tuiasosopo have in mind when he started all this, why exactly did Te’o never make more of an effort to see her in person, and what was the deal with that Arizona Cardinals player who claimed to have met Kekua in the flesh? But hey, we only said we’re slightly less confused now.\n[h/t, photo via New York Post]"}

Also, we got a 20% discount because we went two hours before closing time at 9pm.\nIt was like a Winter Wonderland (not that I've been, but this is what I've imagined it to be like). There were these heaters here and there at the Park, so at -6°C, we were quite thankful. A guy was trying to turn on one heater while his friend told him it was not working. The guy then said. \"That's okay. I don't need it anyway.

So much learning and growth has occurred in the art room since the last time we spoke. My classes this year are wonderful and I have found that I look forward to every class, every day. Each class brings a new adventure, and for me, the journey is often more important than the destination.\nSo, please, find a comfy seat and see what has been going on in room 1100 at THS.\nART 1\nClay Monsters\nStudents glazed their monsters and were anxious to get them back from the case where I displayed them. It is always interested to see how they decide to color their ceramic pieces. Often times where I think they will take it is so far off from what they actually do with it.\nMan/Machine\nArt 1 worked on 2 artworks over the course of a month. The first was under the theme of \"Man/Machine\". We brainstormed at what this could mean. We talked about both good and bad relationships between the two and how those connections could be shown in a black and white drawing.!\nEnvironment: Space and Place\nOur second theme this month was Environment: Space and Place. In this unit, we added color drawing media to the list of choices. This including chalk pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, and markers. This unit proved to be a little bit harder for the students to break out of the box. They seemed to be fixated on the nature aspect of environment and we had to visit the theme as a group to help them see it could be so much more. Once we discussed again the theme, many did see it didn't have to be a landscape, but could be so much more than that.\nIn the end, I am very pleased with the amount of work these students put in. Many had not used those mediums before and they practiced and practiced to get it right for their final artworks.\nIn the end, I am very pleased with the amount of work these students put in. Many had not used those mediums before and they practiced and practiced to get it right for their final artworks.\nART 2: Painting and Drawing\nMan/Machine\nHere are the results from Art 2's journey into the world of Man/Machine.\nInterior/Exterior\nHow can you create an artwork that shows both an interior and an exterior? I am sure that the first thing you thought of was using a window in a house. And that was where these artists started as well. However, once we had our brainstorming session of \"out of the box\" ways to interpret this theme, the results were fantastic.\nI love this group of students. They really do take the theme and run with it. They get right to work on coming up with ideas, sketches, and research to start working right away. I hope you enjoy this work as much as I do.\nBEGINNING CERAMICS\nSlab Boxes\nBeginners finally completed their slab boxes and as I write, they are cooling down in the kiln. When I remove them, they will be considered bisqueware. I am proud of their first major work. Working with slabs to build a box structure isn't easy. There is a balance between leatherhard firmness stage and going too wet or too dry to work with. A few students found this out the hard way. But, I am proud at the effort and the lessons learned in this unit.\nCarved Tiles\nWe are continuing with slabs, but this time, students only have to roll out one. They then created a design that would have a minimum of 4 levels and transfer that design to their slab. Next they took their time and their care to carve away the clay to give their design depth. Designs range from geometric shapes to tribal designs to a human face.\nINTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED CERAMICS\nEnlarging the Organic\nOne day I walked around my neighborhood and found a variety of organic objects just laying around. I found things like seed pods from different plants to acorns to the pods that hold the cactus flowers. I brought these items to class and told my boys to each pick one. They were challenged with taking this organic item and replicating it in clay. The catch was that it had to be either 5 times or 10 times as big.\nThe results were great. I could see the growth my students had from last year. They were able to do things they had trouble with last spring. One student was even able to problem solve during the process as he chose the cactus pod and while working, the pod slowly started to lose moisture and began to shrivel. I am proud of him and his ability to meet the problems that arose.\nGo Big or Go Home\nPaul is an intermediate student. For as long as we have been working with clay, Paul has this thing for going big with the clay. Well, he surprised me with just how big he wanted to go. During our animals morphing unit, Paul decided to turn a wolf into a tiger. I said okay. He started working and next thing I knew, he sculpted this huge paw. It was downhill from there...or should I say uphill. He continues to build it higher everyday. We have since set up his own table to work at. On it we traced the round kiln shelf so he knew the width and depth dimensions he has to stay in. He is also quite aware of the height restrictions. I am quite impressed with Paul. I don't know how we are going to get his dog into the kiln, but that is something we will figure out when the time comes. So far Paul's clay use has exceeded 50 pounds. I made Paul promise that his next project would be small.\nDISCLAIMER\nThe subject matter of work from students may at times be edgy or controversial. I do set limits on things that are not appropriate for the learning environment, while still letting the students have a voice."}

{"text": "For chefs, Restaurant Week Boston means balancing food quality with business sense\nRising food prices make offering Restaurant Week bargains difficult\nIt sounds like a “Hell’s Kitchen” reality show challenge: Prepare a three-course gourmet dinner for $33.12 while coping with rising food prices.\nWith Restaurant Week Boston now underway, thousands of diners are swarming the city and nearby communities looking for such a deal from local chefs. About 200 restaurants are participating in the promotional event, which is aimed at attracting new customers during a slow period by offering $33.12 prix fixe dinners and lunches that range from $15.12 to $20.12.\n“It’s a matter of being creative,” Jason Santos, owner of Blue Inc. on Broad Street in Boston, said of the balance between quality and economics. “I would lose money if I did rib eye. Obviously, you can’t compromise quality.”\nFood costs have gone up substantially over the last few years and widespread drought conditions this summer are expected to push the price of beef and corn even higher. As a result, some regular Restaurant Week participants, such as Lumiere in Newton, dropped out of the event this year, and star-studded spots like Craigie on Main have never bought in. But chefs and owners at other restaurants, including Blue Inc. and posh steakhouse Grill 23, say the event is still worth it.\nTo keep costs down during the two-week promotion (it runs through Friday this week and Aug. 26-31), Santos uses less-pricey chicken thighs instead of breasts for his buttermilk-fried chicken. He chooses hanger steak over sirloin and shops at local farmers markets for produce that doesn’t come with a fuel surcharge because of long-distance deliveries.\nBut the blue-haired chef — who in 2010 made it to the finals of Gordon Ramsey’s “Hell’s Kitchen” on the Fox network — said that when he planned his Restaurant Week offerings, he didn’t count pennies. “I want to make sure the menu is killer. If I have to take a little bit of a hit, I’m fine with that,” Santos said.\nNow in its 12th year, Restaurant Week is expected to bring more than 355,000 people to participating restaurants, according to the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, the event’s organizers. Held in the winter and summer, it has become one of the biggest food fetes in the region.\nSince 2007, meal prices during Restaurant Week have gone up just a penny a year, said Pamela Frechette, leisure-marketing manager for the convention and visitors bureau.\n“I haven’t heard a lot of complaints of the cost of food,” said Frechette, noting that more high-end restaurants than ever are taking part this summer. “All the steakhouses are in it this year — Morton’s, The Capital Grille, Grill 23.”\nGrill 23, where a Kobe steak can set you back $59, entered its first Restaurant Week in March.\n“It’s gotten so big and attracts so many people, it’s probably not too smart for us to not be involved,” said Paul Dias, vice president of operations for Himmel Hospitality Group, which operates the Back Bay venue.\nThe restaurant — which is normally out of reach for the average diner — hopes to attract a broader crowd by offering gazpacho with avocado ice cream, Denver steak, and a hot butterscotch sundae for $33.\nDias estimates that 2,000 to 3,000 first-timers came through the restaurant’s mahogany doors in March. He expects the same kind of turnout this month. “That’s worth our investment. Do we break even? Or even a little better than that? With marketing, it’s difficult to monetize the success,” said Dias.\nFor some restaurants, however, a flood of new diners over a two-week period can be too much. Veteran South End restaurateur Gordon Hamersley said he tried Restaurant Week at his Hamersley’s Bistro years ago, but decided to opt out.\n“It creates havoc in the dining room. It ruins the service, the waiters get unhappy, and I get unhappy,” he said.\nAs an alternative, the French bistro is offering a prix fixe summer menu for $40 during the last two weeks of August, a price more in line with today’s food costs, Hamersley said.\n“If I was a new restaurant starting out, I might do it, but it’s more important to maintain our good reputation for food and service,” he said. “We are not in the business of giving away food.”\nArriving at the slowest time of year, when most restaurants are not fully staffed, Restaurant Week also means increased labor costs. Overtime for waiters, bartenders, and the kitchen crew all come into play at Grill 23.\n“We end up with a higher payroll, but if we focus on the margins, we would be completely compromising the whole idea,” said Dias.\nDuring last summer’s Restaurant Week, at Blue Inc. attracted 40 percent more customers compared with a regular week, according to Santos. Early reservations this year indicate the restaurant may top that number.\n“I feel pretty good about this,” said Santos.\nIn addition to advertising on websites, television, and trolleys, Restaurant Week produces countless tweets, Facebook updates, and mouth-watering images on the online bulletin board Pinterest.\nIt’s being part of that buzz that has kept Turner Fisheries in the promotion for five years.\n“We are not doing it to make money per se. We are doing it to be part of something that’s become so big,” said Perry Kessler, director of sales and marketing for the Westin Copley Place Hotel, which owns the seafood restaurant.\n“It generates good spirit throughout the city and gives everyone something to talk about. Plus, it shows we are team players.”"}

{"text": "Soon after Martin Luther made public his 95 Theses in 1517, he found a sympathetic ear in Desiderius Erasmus, perhaps the most notable scholar of the Renaissance who made a monumental contribution to biblical studies with his various publication of the Greek New Testament. Erasmus took the initiative in defending the validity of Luther’s position by advising others not to attempt to exterminate Luther, but to hear him out in a civilized manner. Although Luther and Erasmus never met face to face, the relationship between the two men became increasingly tense as the Reformation that Luther had set in motion threatened to divide all of Christendom and European nations. In the 1519 letter to Albert of Brandenburg, Erasmus wrote, “I was sorry that Luther’s books were published; and when some or other of his writings first came into view, I made every effort to prevent their publication, chiefly because I feared a disturbance might result from them.” 1\nLuther, heavily influenced by the theology of Augustine, was disturbed by Erasmus’ apparent skepticism as to whether Romans 5:12 supported the doctrine of original sin. In a letter to Johann Lang in March of 1517, Luther’s expressed his distrust of Erasmus spirituality: “The human prevails more than the divine in him.”2 Their differences ultimately culminated in fierce literary combat when Luther endeavored to eviscerate Erasmus’s theological arguments for the doctrine of human free will in his definitive work The Bondage of the Will (1525). In his frustration with Erasmus, Luther famously declared, “Erasmus is an eel. Only Christ can grab him.”3\nNevertheless, Luther also benefited from the labors of Erasmus’s textual output. After the Diet of Worms in 1521, Luther spent about three months translating the New Testament into German using Erasmus’s second edition of Greek New Testament as his basis.\nErasmus’s first edition of the Greek New Testament, titled Novum Instrumentum, saw publication in February of 1516, with the biblical text rendered in dual columns of both Greek and Latin. Some of his translation decisions were controversial for diverging from the Latin Vulgate, particularly the exclusion of a direct Trinitarian reference in 1 John 5:7-8 (commonly known as the Johannine Comma), the aforementioned rendering of Romans 5:12, and his paradigm-shifting verbal choice in Matthew 4:17 as “Repent” (rather than “Do penance.”4 The publication of the first edition of his Annotations on the New Testament came the following month, a justification for his translation that identified the errors in the Vulgate and appealed to multiple Church Fathers such as Ambrose, Augustine, Origen, Chrysostom, and Jerome. Erasmus prepared four more revised editions of the Greek New Testament, which were published under the altered title of Novum Testamentum in 1519, 1522, 1527, and 1535.5\nSouthern Seminary is privileged to own authentic copies of Erasmus’s 1522 Novum Testamentum (third edition) and the corresponding volume of his Annotations, both volumes having been previously owned by the seminary’s founder James Petigru Boyce. The 1522 edition is notable for Erasmus’s reinsertion of the Johannine Comma despite reservations as to its original authenticity. William Tyndale used this edition as the basis for translating the New Testament into English in 1526, and it subsequently guided the translations of both the Geneva Bible and the King James Version.\nEels are known for being slippery, but both 1522 Erasmus volumes are available for viewing upon request in the Archives and Special Collections on the second floor of the James P. Boyce Centennial Library.\nFOOTNOTES\n1J.

Dense and fudgy, they owe their luxurious texture to a low quantity of flour – most brownies rely on chocolate, butter and eggs for their structure, and since gluten isn’t a key component, they’re easy to make with alternative flours. My 6-year-old nephew was over recently, and so I made all the boys (5 cousins) a batch of brownies, swapping gluten-free quinoa flour for the all-purpose. They were a hit.\nLet the brownies cool completely before you take them out of the pan. (OK, they can be a little warm.) If you want to have a brownie sundae party, set them out with a tub of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, fresh berries and sprinkles and let the kids go for it.\nGluten-free Quinoa Brownies\n1/2 cup butter\n4 oz.

{"text": "Here is a quote from Ronald Reagan courtesy of PatriotPost.us:\nâ€œHowâ€”one rich, one poorâ€€ â€”Ronald Reagan\n11 thoughts on “The Myth of Class Warfare”\n“”Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classesâ€”one rich, one poorâ€”both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other?””\nEver heard of “Robber Barons”?\nThe class war is real, and it is endless, though it only gets called “Class Warfare” when some foolish member of the lower classes tries to fight back a little. The rich declared class warfare on the poor eons ago, though they’ll deny it to their dying breath. They use their money and influence to lobby endlessly for a lower tax burden on themselves. It has now gotten to the point that a trust fund baby who lives on interest and dividends pays 10 or 15% of their income in taxes and a working person pays closer to 50%.\nDoes that sound like justice to you? All an accident? Not an intentional ploy by wealthy people to push the burden of paying for the society we live in onto the shoulders of those less able to pay it?\nCEO pay jumping by leaps and bounds while real wages for working people have been falling for 20 years. Larry Ellison retires from Exxon with a 480 Million dollar pension, and the minimum wage was stuck at $5.15 an hour for 12 years.\nYeah, class warfare’s a myth.\nWow Casper, you sound like a genuine conspiracy theorist here. Who are “they?”\n🙂\nThirstyJon\nI sound like what you expect to hear from me Jon.\n“They” would be the top 1% that have amassed 40% of the wealth in the USA, and those near that level. “They” lobby government for ever lower taxes – especially on income at upper levels, capital gains, stock “earnings” and other such un-earned income. Do you deny this? Do you claim that well off people do not lobby for lower taxes?\nI’m a working guy – not paycheck to paycheck, but definitely working class. When I add up all of the taxes that I pay, it gets close to 50%. The top 1% on the other hand are barely dented by the non-progressive taxes that eat me alive (SSA, Sales, Vehicle registrations, real estate). Then they hire a team of attack accountants to hide and finagle with their income, and they wind up paying 15% gross or less. Some don’t pay anything at all.\nSO I go in the shop and sweat for $50 thousand in a year, and half ends up in the government coffer. Meanwhile, Mr. Astor pulls in $50 Million from investment of inherited wealth, and he pays 10%. Do you deny this? Do you claim that I somehow benefit more from than Mr. Astor from law enforcement and infrastructure and defense and all of the other things that taxes pay for?\nThat’s your class war, and if you have to work for a living you’ve been on the losing end for a long time.\nMy mistake on the Exxon guy BTW – Not Larry Ellison, his name is Lee Raymond. Can you seriously with a straight face claim that this man “earned” a half billion dollar pension?\n~~~~~~~~\nGoing on vacation Jon, so I’ll leave you alone for a while. Happy Easter. We’re going to eat the Swieconka (polish “blessed food”) with the wife’s fam. C’ya.\nCasper, have a great vacation! 🙂\nWhen you get back:\nI personally am not concerned how rich someone else gets. I am not worried if 1% have 40% of the wealth. Especially if that 1% happens to be good at making the whole pie much bigger.\nI certainly don’t fit in that 1%. Not at all. If I did, I would certainly lobby for lower taxes on my money.\nGee. That’s funny. I would push for lower taxes on my income now, even though I don’t have much.\nLower taxes for EVERYONE. That is my vote.\nIt is full-on evil that you are paying 50% of your income to the government. That is oppressive and wrong. No Income tax at all is preferable; but if we must have one, how about if we commit to the TOTAL income tax on any individual for both federal and state taxes being less than 10% for EVERYONE? Taxes should at least be less than the traditional amount that religious people give to God!\nAnd I don’t doubt that rich people oppress poor people. It has always been so. That still doesn’t justify stealing from one person to “help” another through tax rates of – shall we say – 50%.\nYou shouldn’t be paying 50%, and neither should the billionaire.\nI submit to you that viewing the rich and the poor as a class war will make a slave out of you and a slave out of everyone. It is in your head.\nWhen I have children, I want them to know how to be wary of the wealthy or the greedy (poor and rich can be greedy). I want them to know how to advance themselves financially so that they are not poor. I want them to respect the property of rich and poor alike. I want them to lend a hand to a fellow human being in need. I want them to systematically work to give everyone who will take the helping hand a chance to leave poverty behind.\nI do not want them to inherit a world where they are paying 50% of their money to taxes! That is not freedom.\n🙂\nThirstyJon\nP.S. If you pay 50% of 50 grand, and Mr. Aston pays 10% of 1 million, who is paying for more of the infrastructure, law enforcement and defense that you are both benefiting from? Hmmmm…\nYou’re right John,,, The billionaire and I should pay exactly the same.\nI drive to work on the public roads, close to 15,000 miles a year, so I derive my $50 thousand a year by using public highways.\nMr. Astor owns a big chunk of UPS, and his trucks use the public roads, 150,000,000 miles a year. He uses the public highways to make $50,000,000,000 a year.\nSo we should each kick in $600 a year for new asphalt,,, gotcha.\nHey Casper, you should buy into UPS as well. You are able to do so. If you are wise you might end up as wealthy as Mr. Astor, and I for one won’t support any system that would disallow you from trying. 🙂\nThirstyJon\nWho said anything about making it illegal to invest money?\nI propose that when one makes a profit, he does it within a framework that we call “Society”. Society is made up of lots of stuff – people, facilities, infrastructure, birds bees flowers trees. Lots of stuff within the “society” costs money.\nNow here’s one of about a jillion places that you and I differ. You seem to believe that everyone should contribute to pay for the maintenance of “society” equally. You inherited $12Jillion? Your tax is $9 to pay for highways. You were born a crack baby and grew up in the streets and now live in a cardboard box? Your tax is $9 to pay for highways,,, This is what I hear from you Jon.\nMy point of view is that when one reaps a benefit within society, one should chip some back in to support that society PROPORTIONAL TO THE PROFIT ONE HAS GAINED. The rich man has profited more, he should pay more.\nYou didn’t answer my earlier question. Do you really believe that Lee Raymond EARNED a $400million plus retirement package? Is anyone on earth really that “wise”?\nCome on,,,\n(Vacation was lovely BTW).\nCasper,\n1) Switch “disallow” with “hinder” in my previous statement. It is a better word for my purpose.\n2) How about we just eliminate the income tax alltogether? Use a fuel tax and sales tax on vehicles, vehicle services etc. to pay for the roads. The one who uses it more will then pay more.\n3) If we go down the road where you and I (or government) is deciding who earned what, we are heading towards a controlled society. I propose that the governmnet has no say in who “earned” what. The question about whether or not Lee Raymond’s pay is a legitimate amount or not is irrelevant to government.\nThirstyJon\nP.S. Glad you had a great vacation. 🙂\nRemarks in red are from ThirstyJon\nThe role of government is to make sure that everybody plays fair, no? (That is an oversimplification. Government is more about protecting property, including the property one has over one’s physical person, one’s conscience, etc.) If there are only 2 gas stations in a small town in Montana, the nearest other town is 200 miles away, and the 2 owners agree that they will sell their gas for double the market rate – bilk their neighbors – and get rich, that’s illegal. It’s called price fixing, and it’s against the law. The law was written so that supply and demand and market competition will do what they’re supposed to do and deliver better value to the customer.\nNow if this “magic of the marketplace” that you […]believe in so fervently was working, Exxon would have had to trim costs in order to compete with Shell-Mobil-BP-Etc, and Raymond would have to make do with a healthy pension like everyone else in his league. (Who decides what “his league” is?)\n$15 billion a quarter profits are proof that the “marketplace” is broken. –Why is that “proof” Casper? We are going down the wrong road if we are concerned about people having too much. Who decides what is too much? Why not focus on helping people who don’t have enough? (And if all the effort put into trying to force a socialist or semi-socialist economy on the world were put directly into helping the needy -instead of government programs- I think a lot of good could be done) Let’s not do it with government or any forced re-distribution of wealth. Let’s do it with generosity and mercy instead.– There is collusion and gouging and the customer is being taken advantage of – just like the residents of that little town in Montana. And President oilman (?????) is not the least interested in doing anything about it. (How scary to think of the President micro-managing the costs of fuel or who makes how much money.)\nAnd the little guy takes it in the shorts again – I paid $4.09 a gallon for diesel this morning. Another front in the class war.\nNow tell me how I’m wrong…\n::: Recognizing that people tend to look out for their own interest and might not be looking out for yours is wisdom. Viewing this as a “class war” results in a destructive labeling of “rich” against “poor” that will create such a war where there is no need for there to be one. Seeing yourself or others primarily as victims of the rich will only leave yourself and anyone who listens to you as slaves to your own self-view. As long as “they” are out to oppress all of us poor people (in our minds) we cannot be free. — ThirstyJon :::\nThirstyJon’s Response is in Red\nThey’re not out to “oppress” the poor, they’re out to get rich(er) on the backs of their customers, most of whom happen to be less well off. They’re not evil, just greedy.\nSo you’re saying that you have no problem with the 2 gas station owners in the remote town bilking their customers – you consider that something they should have the “freedom” to do. Wow – that’s really Thirsty Jon. (I understood you to be creating a fictional example to make a point. If you have any evidence of real criminal activity in Montana I would suggest that you contact the authorities there.)\nEver notice that when you call tech support you get a voice with a foreign accent? Why is that? It’s because you can hire techies in India very cheaply, and business is so competitive nowadays that they need to save that money to be competitive.\nIf the gasoline business was that competitive (and it certainly should be – there’s a station on every corner and customers comparison shop without getting out of their cars) then the oil companies would have to cut their costs to compete – this is Econ 101 stuff Jon.\nA $15 Billion quarter indicates that they have not cut costs as the law of the marketplace dictates they would have to in a true competitive environment. (Making more money than you or anyone else thinks someone should be making is not proof of illegal activity.)\nSo they are not competing – logically they can’t be. That’s price fixing, and that’s illegal. President Oilman supervises the Attorney General of the USA, and therefore decides which laws will be enforced aggressively and when Uncle Sam will look the other way. I wonder why he hasn’t sicced the Justice Dept. on his campaign contributors?!?! The answer is obvious. (I don’t buy into the “President Oilman” thing and I don’t accept the assertion that President Bush is not having the Justice Dept. enforce the law because some oil companies were campaign contributers. I haven’t seen any sufficient evidence for that assertion, and “they have too much money” is not going to be sufficient evidence.)\nI’m not suggesting that the government make any decisions about how much someone can make – that’s a ridiculous strawman that the radical right likes to throw up and then knock down. I’m just suggesting that when the powerful cheat the powerless ILLEGALLY the government should enforce the law. (I’m glad to hear that you are not suggesting that. I am not participating in the building of that alleged strawman. That appeared to me to be where you were coming from. Not only that, but it is possible to have a worldview that sees things that way, even if you don’t actually try to make it so. You appeared to be coming from that perspective.)\nThe powerful cheat the powerless, the rich (wise, noble, blessed) cheat the poor (dumb,foolish,low-born) – and there’s your class war. (I’ve already expressed my thoughts about why it is not constructive or accurate to view this as a class war previously in this thread of comments. If there is specific evidence of someone or someones acting illegally, it should be pursued. The statement or worldview that it is a “class war” is too sweeping and will promote an attitude that all wealthy folks are evil and all poor folks are oppressed. This is simply not so. I am not wealthy. I know many wealthy people. I don’t know any super-wealthy people. I actually don’t know any wealthy individual who is oppressing any poor person. I have only know them to be kind and generous.)\nAgain – tell me why I’m wrong.\nFurther thoughts for Casper:\nI have long contemplated my response to the idea of the government working to prevent “unfair business practices” and I confess that I have not yet come to specific conclusions. I have questions about the nature of corporations, the nature of banking, etc.\nI do believe that we should maintain a government philosophy that generally avoids intervention in economic affairs such as this. There may be exceptions. Of course, we do not have such a government.\nA relative of mine once questioned the very core idea of a “corporation” for example. I have been thinking about it ever since. I am committed to discovering a Christian World View on the subject. I am still not there.\nI am telling you these things because I agree that laws against price fixing should be enforced. Where I am incomplete in my thinking and philosophy of government is in what exactly those laws should be. I am working on it but it will probably take me some years. (I want to get it right. I want my children, grandchildren and their children and grandchildren to remain free!)\nBut then, I am young still. There is still time for learning.\n🙂\nThirstyJon"}

{"text": "?\nCryptic Studios, the veteran developer of City of Heroes, doesn’t seem to think so. Their newest title, Champions Online, launched yesterday with the tried-and-true subscription model, albeit one with a slight twist. As a pre-order bonus, Cryptic offered players a $200 lifetime subscription package that completely nullified all future monthly payments. The package also provided players with exclusive access to the upcoming Star Trek Online beta, making it sound like a heck of a deal.\nAnd it was, all things considered. Cryptic got more money up front and drastically increased the chance that early adopting players would be evangelists for the game. After all, how many people can justify spending that kind of money, enough to buy a new DSi or three Xbox 360 titles, and switching to another MMO a month after launch?\nSo, Cryptic came up with a novel way to beef up the standard subscription model. The twist? It had been done before. Even better, it was originally tried by Turbine, the makers of Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach … a company who has decided to reformat DDO into the first major, US-developed F2P MMORPG.\nThe freshly-titled Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited will be opening its doors to the general public next week, on September 9th. It’s a bold move, and one that has caused something of a kerfuffle since there are quite a few players already paying for DDO in its subscription form. To keep things fair, those players will be handed VIP status, valued at a familiar $14.99 a month. Non-VIP’s will be given basic, somewhat limited access and the opportunity to buy advanced races, classes, items, and visitation rights to VIP areas of Eberron.\nDespite the fact that there’s very little difference between an old “subscriber” and a new “VIP,” taking a cue from the flood of freshly translated Eastern titles that are finding a foothold in North America could be an inspired move by Turbine. The reasonably friendly reception to older, ported titles like LaTale and Mabinogi implies that the barrier to entry is significantly lowered when there’s no price tag to speak of. Hook your players once they’re in game, and they just might be willing to cough up some cash for a limited-edition outfit or kick-ass new sword. By all reports, DDO was heading down a dark road, but this may completely revitalize the title.\nOf course, the potential success of DDO as a free-to-play title doesn’t mean that Turbine has the right idea and Cryptic is sticking with an outdated model. They’re both veteran MMO developers, and you can be sure they’ve done their homework.\nIn other words, the success or failure of these two games will say quite a bit about where the industry is heading. There are still a few big question marks left, most notably the announcement of which payment system EA/Bioware/Mythic’s Star Wars: The Old Republic will use, but don’t be too surprised if that decision isn’t made until after the results are in.\nIs free-to-play gaming the Next Big Thing? The fates of Champions Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited might just provide the answer."}

It will be made of Joel Dewberry’s Notting Hill, some solids and maybe even some Tula Pink. Sewing tomorrow! This last one is my favorite so far… Which one is your favorite?\nTag Archives: Tula Pink\nHand Stitching\nI\nA pound of scraps\nOddly, scraps stress me out, so as per Tara‘s suggestion I decided to go through my scrap bins and sell some in my Etsy Shop.\nLoving Triangles\nAbout a year ago I bought a Fons & Porter 60 degree triangle ruler, today was the first time I used it and I am madly in love!\nI fussy cut some fabrics then sewed 1 & 3/4″ strips around each side. The inside triangles finish at 4 & 1/2″ and the borders are 1 & 1/2″. I love the colour combinations of raspberry, yellow, orange, light blue, olive green and a dash of purple. My favorite combination is the raspberry bee print surrounding Melody Miller’s retro clock in olive.\nCan’t wait to make more and expand.\nA lot of bloggers have nifty segments like “WIP Wednesday” and “Fabric Fridays” but I’m just not clever enough to come up with a catchy title to this post. I received fabric today, yay! (Click icons for larger images.)\n- Springs Beauty in Scarlet\n- Fabric mash up\n- Tula Pink: Little Bits in Honey\n- Josephines Boutique in Ink\n- LouLouThi\nI’ve finally jumped on the Anna Maria Horner bandwagon and purchased some LouLouThi prints. Yes, I did make a rag quilt of LouLouThi in flannel but I purchased it as a complete bundle — does that count? I made a rag quilt which I gave to my neighbor Liz, while she went through radiation treatments for breast cancer, she loved it. So now it’s time for some LouLouThi for myself. I teamed it with Robert Kaufman’s Essex Linen in Light Blue and Free Spirit Designer Solid in Barberry.\nAlso in my order was a little of Amy Butler’s new line, Cameo and Tula Pink’s new line, The Birds and the Bees. Makes for an eclectic mash up, don’t you think?\nI’m expecting another interesting order this week so stay tuned!"}

{"text": " 22, 2022\nState labor market results in June were again somewhat mixed. 13 states had statistically significant increases in payrolls, but only 2 were striking in percentage terms (Montana's .9 percent and Tennessee's 1.0 percent). Texas's 82,500 gain was a smaller .6 percent. Two states (Alaska and West Virginia) had statistically significant declines. All states had at least point increases in payrolls over the last year, but the increases in Vermont, Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Kansas were less than 2 percent. On the other hand, California added more than 850,000 jobs (a 5.1 percent increase) and Texas nearly 780,000 (a 6.1 percent gain), while Nevada's increase was 6.6 percent.\nUnemployment rates were little-changed. Missouri was the only state to see a .3 percentage point decline. Interstate variation in unemployment is now fairly narrow. Minnesota's 1.8 percent was the lowest in June, while no state was at or above 5 percent (DC, though, had a 5.5 percent rate).\nPuerto Rico's improvement ebbed in June. Nonfarm payrolls fell, apparently reflecting a drop in government employment. The island's unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent, but both the labor force and resident employment declined."}
