Learn German
Rick had to conceded that the missed the Prez's promise to veto the NDAA, a promised which was broken, because attention was focused elsewhere. It occurs to me as a public service that maybe we should go back and look at some of the news stories that came up during election week and while few people were paying attention.
For me, the most interesting thing in early November was the publication in several German language magazines of excerpts of the bin Laden papers. (Of equal interest, for a later discussion, is whether the Obama Admin quelled free speech by threatening American based media companies that they would be prosecuted under anti terrorism laws if these excerpts were translated and put on major web pages. Apparently, every major American media source complied, so you'll have to read the stuff in German, and it appears that you'll have to buy it overseas) Of course, this was happening at a time when Al Qaeada had endorsed Obama for re election, so there was a clear harmony of interest between the followers of Osama and the followers of Obama.
Anyway, two interesting things in the papers. First, bin Laden apparently concluded that the 9/11 episode, while a short term success, did not advance the ultimate cause–the establishment of a new Caliphate. thus, it dawned on Osama that it made more sense to send cadres to school to study military history and psychology in the United States rather than aircraft flying. Based upon his own estimates, at least twenty al qaeada cadres shaved their beards, came to the states and earned PhDs. Apparently, a number also entered the American military to study tactics and weaponry from those who know it best. Apparently, it dawned on bin Laden that it made no sense to have Americans travel to Yemen to study military arts, when you can get the same training at home for free.
Second, bin Laden was awe inspired by Iraq. Bin Laden apparently viewed Iraq as a threat to his fundamentalist program, but W was kind enough to wipe out the secular dictator for him, paving the way for a likely sectarian war and Al Qaeada victory in Baghdad where previously none was possible. In short, bin Laden was grateful to W for handing Al Qaeada its future Caliphate capital. Also, he laid out a road map for overthrowing secular dictators in Egypt, Libya, Syria and Tunesia, as well as Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I suspect future historians will look at the Arab Spring and ponder whether these so called democratic revolutions were popular revolutions of the people, or more akin to a success story of Al Qaeada's equivalent of the National Liberation Front.
Americans are not sufficiently focused on the threats posed to this counry by growing islamist terrorist power in the Middle East and North Africa. It also seems that this Adminstation does not want to admit that maybe its murder of bin Laden had no effect in terms of stopping a radical agenda from over running a third of the world and plotting sophisticated terrorism against the rest. As far as I can tell, this Administration seems to have no plan to address a growing threat. except, maybe, for trying to find ways to block Americans from learning about it in the days before an election.

As we grow up we learn to plan things out so nothing ever escapes our control. We try to focus on a career, be it as a university teacher, a police officer, a chef, etc., and then prevent against hard financial situations. But things can always turn out as unexpected.

have (someone) under (one's) wing
To be someone's benefactor, tutor, protector, caretaker, or nurturer. It has somehow become part of my job that, after every graduation cycle from the local university, I have three or four new interns under my wing. Our parents died when we were quite young, so my grandmother had me and my sister under her wing for most of our lives.

Holiday craft class with the art instructor Priscilla Williams will be held at the at the Walkertown Library on Saturday, December 7th. In this class you be making a take home christmas tree centerpiece and discovering new ways to make fun and festive christmas decorations with a few simple supplies and your imagination.
Priscilla Williams is a local multi-medium artist, and owner of "A Creative Mind." Presently, she is a youth instructor at the Sawtooth School for Visual Arts, where she teaches mixed medium art. She has displayed work in various galleries in North Carolina and Alabama.
Oftentimes, thinking "green" and being mindful of how she can do her part to save our environment yet create something beautiful, she works with found objects and recycled materials such as newspapers, beads, egg and nut shells, broken glass, and the like. As she creates her artwork, she finds herself stimulated and relaxed at the same time.
"When I start of my creative process, I have an abstract idea of the end product; however, as I work with these materials, my artwork takes on a life of its own that becomes much more than the object that I had envisioned, thus each product is unique".
The holiday art class is free and open for adults and teens. Please sign up for the class by calling 336-703-2990 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Montana's Oil Boom Has Made Reservations More Dangerous for Women
Early on the morning of January 7, Sherry Arnold, a popular schoolteacher from Sidney, Montana (population 5,436) was jogging down a road when she was abducted. News of the incident shook the rural community. Sixty-year-old Helen Bighorn was in a supermarket when she first heard of Arnold's disappearance. "I cried; I didn't care where I was at," she said. "I prayed for the family and prayed they'd find her, because I knew they'd need some kind of resolution."
Six days later, two drifters lured to the area by potential employment in the Bakken Oil Shale boom area were arrested and charged with kidnapping. (They were later charged with her murder; they have pled not guilty.) Arnold's body wasn't found until mid-March.
Prior to the murder, a cloud of apprehension had already been hanging over the area, as the oil fields have drawn more and more itinerant workers and other strangers into the close-knit community. The majority of the oil wells live just an hour's drive from the Fort Peck Reservation, and Adrian Spotted Bird Jr., the Fort Peck tribal injury prevention specialist, said crimes like disorderly conduct, driving under the influence and violent crimes—including homicide—have quadrupled in the Roosevelt County area since 2008. "Everybody knows everybody in this area, and [the oil fields are] bringing in a lot more people than we can handle," Spotted Bird Jr. said.
In towns like Brockton, Montana (population 258), the only store is continually flooded with oil field workers. In the next few years, another 30,000 are expected to arrive.
The infrastructure in eastern Montana—roads, housing, sewers—is stretched perilously thin, and goods and services are getting scarce as well. With the flood of workers and oil money has also come an influx of undesirables. "The people who are coming in have no respect for womenfolk here," Spotted Bird Jr. said. "They're very rude, very belligerent. They have no qualms about walking up to our young girls and soliciting them, and they don't care how old they are."

Self-defense classes are increasingly popular—and necessary.
Spotted Bird Jr. said the number of registered sex and violent offenders living in the area has risen sharply. Before the oil boom, locals could for the most part avoid convicted offenders because they knew who they were, but not anymore. Women and young people are now advised to travel in groups, even when running simple errands.
With law enforcement spread thin throughout the vast rural area, local residents and Roosevelt County Sheriff Freedom Crawford realized people would have to take matters into their own hands. In a letter to the residents of his county, Crawford wrote, "We have seen quite an increase in the number of concealed weapons permits at the office. We have also received a lot of reports at the office for request of some self-defense classes."
As a result, gun safety and self-defense classes were organized at Brockton and the tribal Fort Peck Community College in Poplar, Montana. Veteran Bureau of Indian Affairs police officer Jay Brugh Sr. and National Guardsman Barry Bighorn, who was recently deployed to Afghanistan, helped teach the courses this spring. The classes in Brockton drew 15 eager adult women participants, and dozens of others attended the classes offered at the tribal college. All participants received training, as well as a whistle and a can of mace. "One of the main things we're teaching is the palm strike," Brugh said, explaining that a blow delivered with the palm is less likely to injure your hand than a punch delivered with a fist. He advised the women to aim for the chin or nose area in an upward motion, and follow that up with a kick to the groin. He says a choke from behind can be countered by quickly lowering one's head while turning inward and pulling away.
He said the biggest value of the classes is the psychological benefit, giving women enough confidence so that they don't feel powerless. He hopes to have more in-depth classes in the near future for younger participants.
His advice, and that of many others, is for women to constantly be aware of their surroundings. "The most important defense that the classes teach is that it will help them to be aware to always watch their back," Bighorn said. "Take precaution, never travel alone. Always let your family know when you're going somewhere, and when you've arrived. Keep that cellphone on you."
Spotted Bird Jr. cautions that problems related to the oil field explosion will only grow: "It's not going to get any better; it's going to get worse. We already have plenty of our own problems; it's really going to devastate the community. It's like the gold rush and Black Hills all over again."

Lakers owner Jerry Buss remembered at service
Magic Johnson considered himself to be the adopted son of Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Shaquille O'Neal hailed Buss for his foresight, while Kobe Bryant cited Buss' ability to convince people to believe in him. Jerry West remembered a party-loving Buss who never went to bed, making it easy to be the first one at work in the morning.
They were among the basketball greats gathered Thursday at an invitation-only memorial service to salute the life and legacy of Buss, who died this week at 80 after an 18-month struggle with cancer.
The stage at the Nokia Theatre across from Staples Center was bedecked with all 10 of the NBA championship trophies won by the Lakers under Buss and more than 30 floral arrangements. Photos of Buss throughout his life flashed on a video screen.
Johnson punctuated the 1 1/2-hour service by getting the audience on its feet, clapping and cheering for Buss. "He didn't like it sad, he wanted it to be fun,'' Johnson said.
O'Neal recalled Buss bringing him on the floor at the Forum in Inglewood and telling him to look up at the championship banners in the rafters.
"He told me, `Son, we expect big things out of you and some 18-year-old kid we just signed, Kobe Bryant,''' O'Neal told the audience, which filled about half of the 7,000-seat venue.
O'Neal and Bryant certainly delivered, teaming to win three titles despite their personal discord.
"He gave me everything I wanted,'' O'Neal said of Buss. "I wanted one extension, he gave it to me. I wanted a second extension, he gave it to me. I wanted a third extension, he traded me.''
Johnson told of arriving in Los Angeles and not knowing anyone as a 19-year-old drafted by the Lakers out of Michigan State.
"God knew I needed a father figure,'' he said, explaining how Buss quickly filled the role by taking Johnson to his first boxing match in Las Vegas, his first tennis match, and his first horse race at Hollywood Park across from the Forum.
"I said, `Dr. Buss, I'm a black man from Lansing, Michigan. We don't know anything about horse racing,''' Johnson said, drawing laughs. "I went and enjoyed myself.''
After the Los Angeles Kings acquired Wayne Gretzky in a blockbuster deal in 1988, Johnson reluctantly attended his first hockey game, telling Buss, "Brothers don't skate.''
Buss replied, "The way you play basketball that man plays hockey. I want you to see the Magic man of hockey.''
But it wasn't until Johnson's 1992 public admission that he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, did he realize how Buss really felt about him.
"As we cried for hours, him not knowing I would be here 22 years later, he picked up the phone and started calling hospitals to make sure I had the best health care possible and the best doctors,'' Johnson said. "That's when I knew this man cared for me outside of basketball, outside of making no-look passes.''
Among the other speakers were NBA commissioner David Stern, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Phil Jackson, Pau Gasol (who spoke in Spanish) and Pat Riley.
Jackson, now engaged to Buss' daughter Jeanie, recalled the summer of 2008 when a fed-up Bryant went public with his trade demand.
"Jerry listened to the demands of Kobe and his agent,'' Jackson said. "He said, `There's no equal value we can get for you.' He prevailed and we won two more championships.''
When it was Bryant's turn at the mic, he said the biggest summer for him was 2006 when Buss asked what he thought of Jackson returning for a second stint coaching the Lakers. Bryant was hesitant.
"He just looked at me and said, `Trust me,' and I did and that took us to another level winning two championships,'' he said. "He had this ability to convince you to follow him.''
West first met Buss in 1979, having already worked for two previous owners of the Lakers, including Jack Kent Cooke, who sold the team to Buss. West had to get used to Buss' lust for life that included hard work and heartier partying.
He recalled one celebration in which Buss had forgotten his credit card and asked West to pick up a tab that included $8,000 for champagne alone. Another time he was out with Buss and work ethic was being discussed.
"He never went to bed so how the hell could he not be the first one to work?'' West said.
Johnny Buss, the oldest of the six Buss children, spoke on behalf of the family. He mentioned his father's penchant for wearing jeans cut off at the bottom.
"They would fringe and I caught him one time combing the bottom of the fringe,'' he said, suggesting that on every Jan. 27 - his father's birthday - people don jeans with the bottom cut off in Jerry's honor.
The younger Buss provided insight into life with his father, who loved travel, wine, poker, books, classical music and movies. He called him "a man who would take us on an incredible journey that no one could ever imagine.''
"Not everything went right but because he was always thinking ahead, everything became right,'' Johnny Buss said. "He never had to step on anyone to get ahead. He surrounded himself with good people. He loved L.A. and as we can see L.A. loved him, too.''
The audience included the current Lakers team, Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Bill Walton, former Lakers coach Rudy Tomjanovich, former Lakers Byron Scott, A.C. Green and Cedric Ceballos, retired Los Angeles Sparks star Lisa Leslie, former Southern California athletic director Mike Garrett, longtime Lakers fan Dyan Cannon, and Los Angeles Kings broadcasters Bob Miller and Jim Fox.
The speeches were interspersed with performances, including nine members of the USC band playing "Amazing Grace.'' Randy Newman, whose iconic "I Love LA'' anthem is played at every Lakers game, sang his hit "You've Got a Friend in Me'' from the movie "Toy Story.'' Davis Gaines sang a number from "Phantom of the Opera.''
Johnson ended the memorial with a plea to Buss' six children who control a majority stake in the team.
"Please Buss family, do not ever sell the Lakers, and win more championships,'' said Johnson, who owns a share of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Buss is to be buried Friday in a private service.

The event discusses the differences between the two categories of flow: stratified flows (e.g. free surface flows) and dispersed flows (e.g. bubbly, droplet and particle flows).
Guest Lecturer, Simon Lo discusses the big differences in flow characteristics between these different types of multiphase flows and therefore the different modeling approaches that are required.
STAR-CCM+ will be used to demonstrate a wide range of multiphase flow models including:
In this lecture, a selection of interesting examples is presented to demonstrate the application of these multiphase flow models and realistic approaches to solving real-world problems.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scarlett Johansson is a first-time mom.
A spokesman for the 29-year-old actress told The Associated Press Thursday that Johansson and her fiance, Romain Dauriac, have welcomed a baby girl, whom they've named Rose.
Marcel Pariseau says mother and daughter are doing well.
He added that the couple is seeking privacy and are supporters of the No Kids Policy, the celebrity effort to keep famous folks' children out of the public eye.
Johansson and Dauriac, a French former journalist, have been engaged since September, 2013. She was previously married to Ryan Reynolds.
Johansson's recent credits include the films "Lucy," "Chef," and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."

The latest in a series of occasional posts on authors who praise each other's books
Barbara Ehrenreich on Thomas Frank's What's the Matter With Kansas?:
"What's the Matter with Kansas? is the most insightful analysis of American right-wing pseudopopulism to come along in the last decade. As for Kansas: However far it's drifted into delusion, you've got to love a state that could produce someone as wickedly funny, compassionate, and non-stop brilliant as Tom Frank."
Thomas Frank on Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright-sided:
"We're always being told that looking on the bright side is good for us, but now we see that it's a great way to brush off poverty, disease, and unemployment, to rationalize an order where all the rewards go to those on top. The people who are sick or jobless—why, they just aren't thinking positively. They have no one to blame but themselves. Barbara Ehrenreich has put the menace of positive thinking under the microscope. Anyone who's ever been told to brighten up needs to read this book."
More examples of reciprocal blurbing appear in the archives for "Backscratching in Our Time," inspired by "Logrolling in Our Time" in the old Spy magazine.

Packers rout Titans, move up to No. 2 seed in NFC
- Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another
- Sunday was the first time the Packers have scored more than 50 points since 2005
- Tennessee avoided a shutout with a touchdown with 1:39 left in the game
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers sure look ready for the playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, Ryan Grant scored twice and the Green Bay defense picked on Jake Locker early and often in a 55-7 rout of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
It was the most points scored by the Packers since they put up the same number against Tampa Bay on Oct. 2, 1983, and their largest margin of victory since a 52-3 win over New Orleans on Oct. 9, 2005.
BOX SCORE:Packers 55, Titans 7
"It was important for us to go out and dominate the opponents late in the year," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We have momentum going for us particularly what we've done over the last nine weeks, 10 weeks, so we wanted to take the next step as a football team and I felt we were able to accomplish that today."
Follow every game: Live NFL Scores
The Packers (11-4) moved up to the No. 2 seed with Seattle's victory over San Francisco. Green Bay finishes the regular season next Sunday at Minnesota, and a victory would give the Packers a first-round bye.
The Titans (5-10), meanwhile will be smarting all week from what might be the worst loss in a season full of them.
The 55 points were the most allowed since Tennessee was shut out 59-0 by the New England Patriots on Oct. 18, 2009, and second time this season it had allowed 51 or more. The Titans needed until 1:39 left in the game to avoid the shutout.
"It's embarrassing to lose 50-something to seven," Titans coach Mike Munchak said. "That's just not acceptable and we let it happen. Thank God we have that (game next week) because I wouldn't want this to be our last game of the year."
The Packers have been one of the NFL's best teams over the past two months, winning nine of 10 games. But they haven't always been at their best against inferior teams, struggling to put away the likes of the Jaguars, Cardinals and Lions.
That wasn't the case against Tennessee. Far from it.
The Titans had one of the NFL's stingiest defenses since giving up 51 points to Chicago on Nov. 4, allowing an average of 17.6 points to their past five opponents.
But Rodgers and the Green Bay offense may as well have been playing Madden NFL video game for as easily as they piled up the yardage and the scores on the Titans.
"We've got the people in the locker room to do that type of stuff every game," said James Jones, who had his NFL-best 13th touchdown reception.
"Each game presents its own challenges and it's not (always) going to be like that. But we feel like every time we take the field we should score every time we get the ball."
They didn't quite do that, though it probably seemed that way to the Titans.
Green Bay scored on nine of its first 12 drives — one of those misses was the end of the first half — and was six of seven in the red zone.
"We've got to have a serious self-evaluation. We have one more game and we've got to fix it," Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner said. "This is embarrassing. It was an embarrassing loss. The Packers are a great team and for us to get to what we want, we've got to be able to compete with those teams."
Rodgers finished 27 of 38, and matched his season high with 342 yards passing despite sitting for most of the fourth quarter. He connected with Randall Cobb (20 yards), Jennings (1) and Jones (12) for touchdowns, and also ran 6 yards for Green Bay's first score.
The Packers also cracked the 100-yard rushing mark for the sixth time in the past seven weeks, and their four touchdowns on the ground were one less than they've managed the rest of the year combined.
Cobb had another big day, breaking Ahman Green's single-season franchise record for net yardage the first time he touched the ball. He finished with 101 yards and has 2,342 for the year, 92 more than Green in 2003.
"He's a big-time player. He's fun to watch," Rodgers said.
Green Bay's defense, meanwhile, made life miserable for Locker and the Titans.
Tennessee's offensive line has been decimated by injuries — it started its fifth combination Sunday — and the Titans also were without leading receiver Kendall Wright.
But Locker didn't help matters. He was sacked seven times — he tripped over his own feet on one — and picked off twice, and finished 13 of 30 for 140 yards.
Tennessee managed to cross midfield just three times during the game, and only avoided the shutout on Kenny Britt's 2-yard catch with 1:39 left.
"We've got to be playing like this heading into playoffs," Rodgers said. "It's nice to get a win like this kind of going way and now we've got a tough one into Minnesota next week."
NOTES: Titans RB Chris Johnson was held to 28 yards on 11 carries. .. With 100 yards on seven catches, Jones has at least one 100-yard game in each of his six seasons. His 722 yards also tops his previous season best. … A.J. Hawk's two sacks tied his career best. … Seven of the Titans' 10 losses have been by 14 points or more. … Fifteen different Packers have had a full sack this season, matching the franchise high. … Green Bay finished the regular season 7-1 at Lambeau.

Another pension punt
We're disappointed, although not surprised, that the General Assembly didn't deal with the state's pension problems during the first week of the veto session.
There appears to be no sense of urgency to deal with the worst unfunded pension liability in the country. If there were, legislators wouldn't have cut their first week short by a day.
"We know this is going to be difficult to do," Sen. Dave Syverson said in a news release. "But we have to be honest with employees, retirees, and taxpayers who already know the current system is not sustainable and is on its way to insolvency. We were elected to take the difficult votes. That's what leadership is."
Syverson's right. Inaction is costly, and the pension debt won't be diminished simply by ignoring it.
Lawmakers will return to Springfield on Nov. 5, but we fear that they're going to wait until January — if then — on pension reform.

Many people use the ultra popular Paperclip library to handle file attachments in Rails. Unfortunately the Paperclip documentation does not cover how to stub out calls to ImageMagick in your test suite. Without the proper stubs in place a test suite that uses Paperclip will take much, much longer to run.
In the grease your suite presentation by Nick Gauthier it has a slide titled Quickerclip that describes what needs to be done to spend up Paperclip in tests, basically you need to keep it from shelling out to ImageMagick. Alas, the presentation does include code for how to achieve Quickerclip.
As the presentation shows Paperclip.run is the method that needs to be changed. The first parameter passed to Paperclip.run is the ImageMagick command be executed. Paperclip uses the identify and convert commands. The
identify command is used to determine the dimensions of an image. The
convert command is the really heavy one that does image manipulation and thumbnail generation. Here is a redefinition of Paperclip.run with sensible behavior for tests.
module Paperclip
def self.run cmd, params = "", expected_outcodes = 0
case cmd
when "identify"
return "100x100"
when "convert"
class Paperclip::Attachment
def post_process
post_process in Paperclip::Attachment is an optional additional optimization. In Paperclip,
post_process eventually calls
Paperclip.run("convert") and by short-circuiting the method earlier in the chain we save a few cycles.

Does your water have a rusty taste and feel?
Stop rust stains and orange water with Culligan.
Iron enters the water supply from a variety of sources – the soil around private wells, corrosion in the pipes themselves and organically occurring reactions with elements in the water. These iron problems exist in many different forms and knowing what kind of problem you have is essential to properly treat it. If your water comes out of the faucet clear but turns red or brown after standing, you have "ferrous" iron, also known as "clear-water" iron. If your water is red or yellow when first drawn, you have "ferric" iron, also known as "red- water" iron. Organic iron is usually yellow or brown but may be colorless.
Common high iron problems include –
- Rusty, red-brown stains on your fixtures, sinks and tubs
- Rusty stains or residue on laundry
- Yellow, brown, red or orange-colored water
- Clogs in wells, pumps and sprinklers
- Metallic tasting water
- Certain foods prepared in water turning black -potatoes and teas are commonly affected
Iron problems take on many different forms, and Culligan has the right water treatment equipment for every situation. Whether you need a Culligan® Iron-Cleer™ Filter that provides filtered water at every tap or a Culligan® High-Efficiency (HE) Softener-Cleer to soften and filter at the same time, your local Culligan Man™ has the perfect solution for you.

Grid tied or Off-Grid solar kits are a cheap way to reduce your installation costs. Most home or RV owners who can do simple DIY projects around the house will find it possible to install their own systems. By installing your own power systems, you reduce your costs and increase your rate-of-return on your system. Pre-engineered packages for Los Angeles home and RV owners serve several main rolls in grid-tied and off-grid systems. The first for home owners is to reduce the costs of the system. For the homeowner that would be the utility bill and a hedge aginst inflation. For the RV owner a solar panels kit would allow them freedom off-grid from RV parks dry camping. The second possible role of a home system, would be to use your grid tied system to power a backup battery bank during utility blackout's off-grid. This is best acomplished with an AC coupling of your grid tied system to power a backup battery bank off the grid.

Los Angeles Home Utility Grid-tie Solar System Design - Many site-specific factors need to be considered when planning for your grid-tied or off-grid solar kit. Budget, available roof or ground space and other factors will heavily influence your choice of solar panels kits. If you are planning to attach your home solar panels to your roof, first decide which solar panel size will be the best fit. Consider obstructions such as chimneys, plumbing stacks and roof vents you have on your home. Grid-tied and off-grid kits, home or RV, consist of solar panels, cables in conduit, racks and AC as well as DC disconnect electric boxes with switches. Types of inverters and grounding rods or methods are also a consideration. Blue Pacific Solar can help you decide which home or RV solar kit is best for your house. Usually the largest system you can afford will be the most cost effective returning the best return on investment. However, even a small solar panel kit can reduce part of your utility bill putting money back into your household. Additionally, home solar is a hedge against future energy costs that are sure to rise.
Los Angeles sun is a natural source of energy for an abundance of cheap electricity for a home or RV. Small kits can lower heating cost by offsetting electric bills and RV off-grid park fees. Small solar panel kits operate anywhere the sun shines, and Los Angeles has an abundance of sunlight. Small home or RV solar panels kits have no moving parts and require no maintenance lasting for decades. A small DIY quality cheap kit will operate efficiently and is easy to install for most homeowners that can do minor home repairs.
Los Angeles home or RV solar panels kits operate on DC electricity from sunlight. The output of small solar kits varies throughout the day with changes in cloud cover and weather. The characteristics of DC electricity is different from AC current coming off the grid. Home or RV solar panel kits must utilize the entire solar day which typically is about 6 hours of useful sunlight.
Choosing the Right Size Solar Panel Kit for your Los Angeles Home. (Step 1.) The first step you take after you have considered available roof or ground space, is to look at your home monthly average electricity usage from your electrical bill. The key number you are interested in finding is your kWh (Kilowatt Hours). Because of seasonal considerations it is always a good idea to look at average monthly usage. Here at Blue Pacific Solar when we are designing a home solar kit we prefer evaluation a 12 month kWh history by month. When you are designing an off-grid system you will be particularly interested in the kWh of the month of December since it has the least number of available sun hours.
(Step 2) The next step in choosing the right size solar panel kit for your Los Angeles home is to first find the average daily kWh usage then divide that by the number of available sun hours. For example, Los Angeles has about 4.7 average sun hours. That information is compiled from 30 years of weather data and commonly used by solar companies when calculated the size of home systems. Example 18 kWh / 4.7 average sun hours = 3.8 kW AC home solar panel kit. 3.8 kW x 1000 = 3,830 watts needed to produce.
(Step 3) Calculate the number of solar panel required for the Los Angeles home kit you need. Finding out how many solar panels you need is one of the final steps in sizing your home solar (Or RV Solar Kit). Take the watts needed to produce and divide the watt STC rating of the solar panel you selected, then divide that number by the inverter efficiency which is usually about 94. You now have about the total number of modules you need to size your home solar panel kit.
Just a little more about "Solar Insolation". The suns insolation is measured in kilowatt hours per square meter per day in areas throughout the world. A common term used by solar installers everywhere is "sun-hours per day". To find the average sun-hours per day in Los Angeles, look at the solar insolation map provided by the team here at Blue Pacific Solar. If you are sizing a solar panel kit for your home or RV and want year round off-grid autonomy, use the lowest figure which is December. If you just want a utility grid-tied solar panel system with net metering, the average or highest Los Angeles solar insolation number should be sufficient to start your planning and help your choose the best low cost solar panels for your home.

NEW YORK (AP) — Reassuring comments from a Federal Reserve official and better earnings from two big retailers helped push the stock market higher Tuesday.
Stock indexes wobbled between gains and losses in early trading, then took a turn higher just before noon. That's when news crossed that James Bullard, head of the Fed's St. Louis branch, told an audience in Germany that the Fed ought to stick with its bond-buying effort to bolster the economic recovery.
"Those words were a salve for investors' nerves," said Lawrence Creatura, a fund manager at Federated Investors. Other Fed officials have recently talked about scaling back the program. "There's a lot of uncertainty surrounding this issue. And uncertainty and investors aren't always a happy match."
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 52.30 points to 15,387.58, a gain of 0.3 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up 2.87 points to 1,669.16, a slight increase of 0.2 percent. Both the Dow and the S&P are at record highs.
Many investors were already looking ahead to Wednesday, when the Federal Reserve will release minutes from its most recent policy meeting and Chairman Ben Bernanke will go before Congress to discuss his outlook for the U.S. economy.
"I think a lot of people are sitting on their hands waiting to see what the Fed says tomorrow," said Michael Binger, senior portfolio manager at Gradient Investments in Minneapolis, Minn.
Binger said some investors believe the Fed's support is the main reason the stock market has soared to all-time highs. If the Fed pulls back, they reason, the market's epic rally would come to an end.
In other trading, the Nasdaq composite rose 5.69 points to 3,502.12, a 0.2 percent gain.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. gained 1.4 percent. Shareholders of the country's biggest bank voted to allow Jamie Dimon to keep his two titles, CEO and chairman of the board. Groups had pushed to split the two jobs, a drive that gained momentum from a multi-billion trading loss last year. The bank's stock rose 73 cents to $53.02.
Home Depot surged 2.5 percent. The retailer reported an 18 percent increase in quarterly income as the housing market continued to recover. Home Depot rose $1.95 to $78.71.
Among other companies posting quarterly results, AutoZone jumped 5 percent. Better sales and shrinking costs helped the auto-parts company beat analysts' earnings forecasts. AutoZone leapt $18.79 to $427.84.
It has been another solid earnings season for big companies, with corporate profits hitting all-time highs even as revenue barely rises.
Seven of every 10 companies in the S&P 500 have trumped Wall Street's earnings forecasts, according to S&P Capital IQ. First-quarter earnings are on track to climb 5 percent over the year before. Revenue is expected to rise just 1 percent.
In the market for U.S. government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 1.93 percent from 1.96 percent late Monday.
In commodities trading, crude oil sank 55 cents to settle at $96.16 a barrel.
The price of gold fell $6.50 to $1,377.60 an ounce, extending a slump that has knocked gold down 18 percent this year. Tame inflation, a stronger dollar and a surging stock market have undermined gold's appeal.
Among other companies in the news:
— Carnival Corp slumped 4 percent. The cruise-ship operator cut its earnings forecast for the year late Monday as it wrestles with the fallout from high-profile incidents, which left passengers stranded at sea. Carnival's stock lost $1.51 to $33.81.
— Best Buy dropped 4 percent after reporting a quarterly loss and sales that fell short of the forecasts of financial analysts who follow the company. Its stock lost $1.17 to $25.64.
— TiVo gained 2 percent, or 26 cents, to $12.92. The digital video recording company narrowed its quarterly loss with the help of higher sales from more subscribers.

I was going to go on this back-half of the year taking a look at the BioLogos positions on the Bible and especially origins, but they're going to take all the fun out of it.
On 2 Sept 2010, they tipped their hand the rest of the way -- and let me say it plainly: we told you so. Phil and I told you that they could not start down the path they were on hermeneutically and not end up here:
In the final chapter of Evolution Creation: A Christian Approach to Evolution (2008), Denis O. Lamoureux opens, "My central conclusion in this book is clear: Adam never existed, and this fact has no impact whatsoever on the foundational beliefs of Christianity." This is the first entry in a three-part series, in which Lamoureux answers the question: Was Adam a Real Person?So all the folks defending BioLogos have to face up to it: it was never about whether or not there were days or ages in Genesis 1; it was never about reconciling Gen 1 and Gen 2 to "science". It was always explicitly about what it means to say, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth," and then "the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature" without it meaning that God actually, really, historically did something.
Instead, Biologos says explicitly, "Genesis 1 does not reveal how God actually created life." and then again it says explicitly, "And just like His use of ancient astronomy, when He separates the waters above from the waters below with the firmament in Genesis 1, His forming of Adam from the dust of ground never happened either."
That's really all that needs to be said: they reject the historical Adam. After that, it's only a matter of a few faculty meetings before they have called Jesus a manifestation of first century Jewish imagination and a deconstructing of Greek ethos to suit the likes of Philo and Paul.
Don't think so? You didn't think they'd reject Adam as a historical person, either. There's no sense fighting about it when any milestone that can be set up and then passed by these guys is not seen by their advocates as the bridge too far.

Broadcom Corporation Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (BRCM)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.
-- Broadcom Corporation
) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 14.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- BRCM's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.17 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, BRCM has a quick ratio of 2.00, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- BROADCOM CORP's earnings per share declined by 9.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BROADCOM CORP reported lower earnings of $1.64 versus $1.99 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.93 versus $1.64).
- The gross profit margin for BROADCOM CORP is rather high; currently it is at 52.50%. Regardless of BRCM's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, BRCM's net profit margin of 8.10% is significantly lower than the same period one year prior.
- In its most recent trading session, BRCM has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
Broadcom Corporation designs and develops semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications. It provides a portfolio of system-on-a-chip (SoC) and software solutions. The company has a P/E ratio of 21.8, below the average electronics industry P/E ratio of 25.1 and above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Broadcom has a market cap of $17.41 billion and is part of the
sector and
industry. Shares are up 20.5% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.

Orange and Rhubarb Oatmeal Porridge
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We've had rain for two days now. I'm talking periodic deluge, not the rare and gentle sprinkle that's usually associated with summers here in Oregon. Mornings are cold and it just seems weird to be running around in a lumberjack's hoodie trying to keep warm. It's July for Pete's sake. Now, I don't want to start a rumor, but I have a really uneasy feeling that summer has been stolen. Just the thought sends shivers up and down my spine. Our grandchildren will soon be here, and the thought of all of us housebound on this hillside is enough to make grown men weep. The Silver Fox has refused permission to publish the grown man weeping photo I planned to insert here, but to stay in my good graces he agreed to sample an oatmeal dish that I've been wanting to try. I've just been given the thumbs-up, so I can share it with you. The recipe was developed for Eating Well magazine. I've made some changes to their version because I thought the orange juice used in the recipe overpowered the other ingredients. In order to retain an orange flavor, I replaced the juice with a bit of zest and I think it worked well. This is a very nice way to start a damp and chilly day. The original recipe, Oatmeal-Rhubarb Porridge, can be found here. My version follows. I hope you will try it. The recipe can, of course, be doubled.
Orange and Rhubarb Oatmeal...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Eating Well Magazine
2 cups nonfat milk
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup rhubarb, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar, pure maple syrup or agave syrup
2 tablespoons chopped pecans or other nuts, toasted
Combine milk, zest, oats, rhubarb, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook at a very gentle bubble, stirring frequently, until oats and rhubarb are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in sweetener to taste. Top with nuts. Yield: 2 servings.

Oh, Mary, I think Texas stole your summer and added it to ours!! We are having a crazy hot one (or two, if we have yours)! I would sure send part of it to you if I could.

Fantastic VC John Burke is Tier 1
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by klenane on 2015-01-13
We had a couple of meeting with True over a period of a couple of years and one partner meeting where they may have been close to investing in our first round though obviously I cant be sure. What I can say is that every single person was extremely friendly, thoughtful, prepared and respectful during the pitch I gave (which was not great) and during the review period afterward. Even though they didn't wind up investing, John Burke wound up referring me to several eventual customers that netted hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for us. I can't recommend them highly enough and they'll be my first stop whenever I start my next company.PRIVATE: Members Only
Wasted My Time
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by ANGT4VCBS on 2013-12-13
As an entrepreneur, rejection is a part of the game. A simple "no" is fine, and feedback on why there is a "no" is respected. That is not what happened here. After some runaround, I was referred to meet with an employee straight out of college. This is what PG would refer to as a "dickish move" which would only lead to wasting time. If that was truly respected entrepreneurs, they would give a clear answer instead of playing games. Therefore I give you a heads up so that you can avoid wasting your time.PRIVATE: Members Only (137 Characters)

Jon Callaghan is a Straight Shooter, Understands Entrepreneurs

Posted by GalCEO on 2010-10-07
Jon was really straightforward with us and let us know that we would be better going the more traditional Sand Hill Rd. route for the amount of money we were trying to raise and the place we're at in the product lifecycle (product built, started getting customers 3 months ago). He also offered some other great advice in the meeting. He did go silent after the meeting, offering to make an introduction that I eventually got from someone else. But my sense was he'd make a good board member because he would let you know what he thought. Sorry we didn't get to work with him.PRIVATE: Members Only

We did a Series A with True, and it was a great experience. Deal closed quickly, paperwork and terms were extremely fair (as they promised they would be). I don't think it could have gone any better.
Since we closed the round, they've been an awesome partner. They've been supportive of us throughout, even when we've hit the occasional bump in the road. They've help to make introductions to key people. And network of True-funded entrepreneurs is terrific.PRIVATE: Members Only (277 Characters)

Having met with more than my share of VC firms over the last 10 years, this is by far one of the strongest teams. They "Get it" and believe that the entrepreneur is their customer. They promote customer satisfaction and mean it. They are smart, forthright, to the point and they follow through. They make decisions quickly and defy many of the traditional VC practices. They have broken the mold and are a pleasure to deal with.
After the deal they are continually helpful. They let experienced management teams manage and offer constructive help when asked.
True Ventures Has Been Awesome
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by true portfolio co on 2007-12-14
True was the lead investor in our Series A earlier in the year. My friend (and a CEO of one of their other portfolio companies) told me that he couldn't be happier with True and they were a dream to work with and added value to his business. He was spot on.
True has been an outstanding partner so far. Tony Conrad is on our board (and also the CEO of Sphere.com) and has added a ton of value and is really an extension of our team. As a CEO himself, he is able to focus on the things that really matter (and not bug us with useless meetings, spreadsheets or presentations that seem all too common in other firms). He has been there to help push our thinking and open doors (big rolodex and he whips it out for us often), but lets us run the business and trusts our instincts. Although interactions with Jon and the other True partners have been less frequent, they have always treated our management team with respect and have made some valuable introductions.
I have nothing but positive things to say, although admittedly we haven't yet faced any rough waters which is always the ultimate test of a partnership. So far, we couldn't be happier to have True in the ring with us.PRIVATE: Members Only
This Firm 'Gets It'
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by drudru on 2007-07-26
Quite often, you hear talk of the new era in venture and startups. Actually, when you network enough, you hear quite a few cliches or soundbites. When you get to the table with the more established firms, though, you find that much hasn't changed. The reality is that the game has changed in many visible ways (capital needs, distribution, hiring, etc.). Most firms have not adjusted. They blame the environment or 'inexperienced angels' for the lost deal. They still have the same expectations for a deal, and will steer you down the same paths. This is really the only 'way of the world' that they know.
When we went out for financing, we knew that our needs were of the 'new era' variety. Not quite angel and not quite venture. Based on my
past experiences and the experiences of those
in my network, I was skeptical of most VC firms and willing to forego that route. Angel funding is an easier option, but there are caveats there as well. It was when we reconnected with Jon and his team that I could see that they understood the new landscape. They thought about the new problems and came up with some new
value propositions that made them stand out from the rest. Both parties hit it off and we did the deal.
Just recently, we had our one year anniversary. I can honestly say that going with True was one of the best decisions we made. They have consistently provided *tangible* support and excellent direction.PRIVATE: Members Only (635 Characters)
Early Stage Done Right! What the Valley Has Been Waiting for
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by LiquidityEvent on 2007-07-23
True's model is just what the Valley has been waiting for. If you're looking to get started by partnering with a bunch of experienced guys who understand that you don't necessarily want to take a bazillion dollars in your A-round, True is the way to go. When we were trolling around for our A, we had lots of firms competing to give us $$$ but the reality is that the more "established" VCs really just wanted to give us way more money than what we needed to get off the ground and get running. Yes, it's always prudent to take in somewhat more than you think you'll need, since you invariably will underestimate what it takes to do it right, but at the same time, there's also a limit to what you should raise in the A if you believe in what you're doing and also don't want to overly dilute yourself from the get-go.
True was also a breath of fresh air in an otherwise very stodgy, ego-driven industry. Since they were a new fund when we were getting to know them, we did a fair amount of reseach before closing our deal. End of the day the diligence we heard has been spot-on with what we've fond over the last year. These guys have great track records for themselves from the various firms they were partners in previously, but they appear to have left the pomp-and-circumstance behind in order to build a model that's focused on more effectively partnering with their entrepreneurs.
For us, we've been equally impressed with True even since closing our A. Jon Callaghan is the partner I've known the longest and who joined our Board, and what I've appreciated with him is that he's got that rare VC ability to be a thoughtful board member and mentor/advisor without falling over the line to be overbearing or in-your-way every day. More broadly, these guys are zealously supportive of their entrepreneurs while also being good Board members too. Seems like they've also got a great rolodex too, especially when it comes time to close your B.
More to come in a future post but suffice to say, in a Valley that's looking increasingly bloated and lemming-like, True's niche is an exceptional standout.PRIVATE: Members Only
Best Firm for Entrepreneurs
Fund: True Ventures
Posted by tod on 2007-07-21
The TRUE Ventures team is most pro-entrepreneur venture firm that I am aware of. There business model is based on investing in companies early, often seeding the creation of new firms, and they prefer investment structures that align their interests with the entrepreneur from the beginning.
Having gone through multiple financing events side by side with their team, I can attest to their continued interest in working with (rather than against) the entrepreneur.
There is no doubt in my mind that their pro-entrepreneur philosophy is part of a grander vision. As a new firm, they believe that the best way to succeed in the venture business is build a pool of successful entrepreneurs that think the world of you -- as most good deals come from those relationships.
Additionally, I have now worked with Jon Callaghan on the board of two startups and he is smart, upfront, trustworthy and a true mentor. There are only a handful of VCs I would recommend to friend without a single comment, and he is at the top of the list.PRIVATE: Members Only (487 Characters)
