Tokyo Electric Power May Scale Down Planned Rate Hike
Tokyo, Sept. 20 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo Electric Power Co. is considering scaling down its planned electricity rate hike at the request of the government, informed sources said Saturday.
Earlier this year, the company announced plans to raise its electricity rates in January due to surging oil prices, with monthly electricity bills at a standard household expected to rising about 800 yen from the current levels.On Friday, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Toshihiro Nikai asked Japanese power suppliers to review their rate hike plans in light of the economic slowdown and a downturn in energy prices.
The government apparently does not want to see major hikes in utility charges out of consideration for an expected dissolution of the House of Representatives and a subsequent snap election, according to the sources.
Following the government's request, Tokyo Electric Power will work out specifics about the rate hike review, taking into account the oil price fall, the sources said.
Other power suppliers, including Kansai Electric Power Co. , may follow suit, the sources said.END

The Seahawks are kicking off at 10 a.m. Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, so make sure you tune in on time as this one could be over in a hurry.
This game just has a bad feel to it in terms of matchups, momentum and every other measuring stick you can find.
Seattle hasn't beaten a playoff-qualifying team on the road since 2004. Maybe you can read something into the fact that historic win came at the Metrodome against the Vikings, but I read more into the fact that particular Minnesota squad finished 8-8 and wasn't really that good.
This year's Vikings are 8-1 and on a roll behind Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson. This year's Vikings have a big 'ol defensive front that will shut down Seattle's run game and a pass rush that will cause constant problems for Matt Hasselbeck.
I felt the Seahawks could gather themselves enough to give Arizona a game last week and predicted a 31-27 loss (seven points off the actual score of 31-20), but this one won't be that competitive.
My prediction: Minnesota 33, Seahawks 14.
The reader with the closest prediction last week was "bowlajello," just three points off with a 31-17 pick of Arizona. Good job, 'jello.
Pick your score on this week's game below and if you come closest, we'll give you a shoutout next week.
Whadya say, Seahawks' fans? Any chance of an upset in this one?

In response to Cecil's reply to the question regarding the torture of civets, I wish to point out that English perfumer F.V.Wells has commented that it was not necessary to "torture" the animal to obtain its civet paste. He says- "One of us (F.V.Wells) posseses a sample of civet obtained- by very gentle treatment, incidentally- from a healthy male civet cat kept in captivity in one of the world's most famous zoos. This civet has only a faint suggestion of skatole and has much more in common with civettone". [Perfume Technology by F.V.Wells & Marcel Billot,1981]
Which leads me to my point- it seems a general conclusion that because the civet paste comes from around the rear end area of the animal that it must nescessarily pong! This is a misconception. I am a perfumer and use civet in my compositions. It is a very important ingredient, not only for its fixative power but also because of the innate odour. It has the ability to enhance and "propell" a fragrance besides fixation. I think it smells wonderful! In fact, in centuries past people, mainly men, wore civet straight & uncut as a perfume!I should say at this point that we use artificial civet compounds from various perfume houses. However a French perfume supplier once gave a small phial of pure natural civette from the animal, and this was divine! I use it only in the most precious perfumes and am, unfortunately, gradually phasing it out because of the supposed cruelty involved in its production. Yet I wish I could still use natural civet because the results are astounding!
So, far from stinking like a skunk, civet is a very attractive odour- ON DILUTION!!!!!
Also, the original questionner stated that he/she belived that civet was a "major ingredient" in Chanel No.5 perfume. Hardly! Civet is an important note in that fragrance, but hardly a "major ingredient"!!!
Quick -- before the mods get here and say, "Oh, no, not another post with no link to the article!":
Oh, and welcome to the SDMB, Thoth-Hermes93. Cool name. Bye. Gotta go.
Hi Ice Wolf
Hey! Thanx dude!
How d'y'do that? Link the post to the article?
Gladya like my Nom'du 'Net!
Well, wadya think of the smell of CIVET?!
Dunno if I've actually smelled Civet when someone's around to tell me that's what I'm smellin'. 'Course, I hear there are some chemical elements of the scent used in perfumes, so -- ya never know.
How'd I get the link? Go to the article (I did a "search archives" on the Straight Dope Homepage, just to be sure). Click on the page's URL address in the address bar, the paste it back in the post, leaving a space around the address as the mods keep tellin folk to do around here.
Alternatively, you could use the formula {url="URLAddressCut&Pasted"}showing words instead of a URL{/url}, with square brackets instead of the curved ones, the URL in the quote marks, and your own words between the brackets which ends up being the link appearing in the post.
Hope this helps.

The ballooning price of real estate in Vancouver has made much of the city's core uninhabitable for many citizens that have been saving up for years. Stagnant wages are pushing city residents out from prized homes and apartments that are now too pricey to afford. Meanwhile, offshore money coming from wealthy Asian buyers has created a schism between the new arrivals and lifelong Vancouverites. As the city deals with a housing crisis, its citizens grapple with what their futures on the West Coast may hold.
For many artists, timing is everything. For director Charles Wilkinson, a premiere of a documentary with this subject in a city experiencing its own real estate predicament should deepen its impact. Vancouver: No Fixed Address explores many sides of a multifaceted issue, from government inaction to the modern "sharing economy." Wilkinson's film is dense but rarely overwhelming, benefitted by many fascinating voices that speak their minds with clarity and power. The subjects range from David Suzuki to a member of the Haida Gwaii. (Both complain about income inequality and a continuing shortage of natural resources.)
As one figure states near the doc's end, the laid-back mentality of city residents means that protests and pushes to change have been slow to come. This mirrors an issue with Wilkinson's film: there is much to absorb but little guidance about how the city can improve matters in the future. Ultimately, the film is both comprehensive and incomplete.

The wilderness Part 1

All praise, honor and glory to the Father.
As a servant sent to you in the name of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father, I write this discourse.
SUBJECT: Part #1 of the wilderness.
I had the opportunity to speak with chief Word, of the Vacaville, CA police department, about the happenings that had, and were transpiring concerning the Stalking/ Harassment I was experiencing at the hands of the agents of satan, known as the masons. He made light conversation referencing how they had asked him to join. I told him, if he was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, the two was not compatible, there wasn�t much said other than what I presented to him, he asked a few questions the meeting ended. He didn�t at that time or any time since offer any assistance, on how I should, or how he would address the situation. As a matter of fact, the attitude I sensed, was, whatever. What I did notice, upon leaving the meeting was an increase ( If there is such a thing) in the Stalking/ Harassment, coincidence? Perhaps. I�m one who seeks answers, so I put forth this question. Now the chief being a public servant, should he not had taken what I presented, and either started an investigation, or referred me to another organization if his department wasn�t up to the task? If one was to seriously ponder why the chief wouldn�t take an active involvement in what I presented, this only leaves a couple of reasons; 1 Either he�s in fear of them, if this being the case then, how can he profess to be a follower of Christ? As it is written, �And fear not them which kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.� Matt 10:28 or 2, Then its quite possible he is a mason. Now this presents a paradox: now being a public servant, how can he effectively administer his office? If he is a mason, does this account for their unremitting perpetrating of wickedness, knowing that he will allow whatever they do? Pardon me, I just had a revelation maybe they care to stop, but aren�t allowed to stop. I�m envisioning Moses speaking with God. And God telling him to tell Pharaoh, as it is written, �Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.� Ex 9:1, Now we know the story, Pharaoh wanted to but the Lord had other plans, as it is written, �And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him.� Ex 10:1 The reason the Lord did these things was to show there is only one true God. As it is written, �And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon chariots, and upon horsemen. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.� Ex 14:17,18 Should he be in his current position? I�m not in the position to decide, As it is written, �He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are an abomination to the Lord.� Prov 17:15 So I guess when one finds oneself in such a quandary, one should pray the Holy Spirit pricks ones conscience and finds one in a position where he�s able to say. As it is written, �And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.� Acts 24:16 Now I�ll show why this meeting was unsuccessful. As it is written, �For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.� Rom 16:18 Since this nonproductive meeting I in good faith sought another meeting with the chief. I was contacted by his lt, with the message chief would not meet with myself, and that he would be of assistance, I politely refused, made reference I would wait on the chief. Now the wickedness perpetrated by his department is revealed for all to see. Remember whatever is brought to light becomes light. I need to get a term out of the way now, that I�ll use later. The term is major and minor participants in this battle. I differentiate major from minor, by major being able to impact what�s happening with the ability to stop the Stalking/Harassment, whereas minor I liken unto a parrot. This being a parrot is a mimic, only doing or saying what its being told, really no real impact other than that of vexing of an individual. Apparently they must have put their collect minds together and came to the realization that I wasn�t crumbling as they have thought I should have done. So then they went after the hurting of my family through the killing of the family pet (Spike). I went to the (it pains me) police department to file a report on this incident, I receive the runaround between them and animal control, (reinforcing of confusion) to this day there is no record of this report. So I�ll include the license number of the vehicle that committed this heinous act, so that way you�ll be informed. The vehicle was a Blue Camry license plate 5786 DP. Maybe you might recognize the number as one of your neighbors, or your husband or wife. Again you need to be aware of the type of individual you�re living around, if their capable of this, what�s next? Reference The Gospel Truth mentioned in another discourse ( Rebellion against the one true God). I�ve taken the liberty to number the occurrences, not only for ease of reading, but to allow the dear reader when they exclaim! (what), their able to locate the (what) easier. I noted in an earlier discourse, that this cult wasn�t following the one true God, as evident, by the wickedness, deception and secrecy used by them. I�ll now bring order out of disorder, shine light upon darkness, to show the perpetration by the one(s) who continue to live in rebellion/disobedience to the one true God.

Council pleads for matched gallery funding
Albury City Council is asking the State Government to match the $3.5 million the Federal Government will contribute towards a new art gallery.
The council secured the funding for the $10.5 million redevelopment of the existing gallery on Dean Street.
The project is expected to be finished by 2014, with 17 new jobs created.
Albury City Mayor Alice Glachan says she is confident the project will go ahead.
"We need to commit to the Federal Government to have this project completed by the end of 2014," she said.
"We will commit to that. It's a matter of ensuring we take every opportunity to ask the State Government to assist us with that funding.
"We have two-thirds of the pie, we'd really like them to come on board with the last third of the pie."

My Dyson animal seems to have an electrical issue that I am unable to pinpoint. Neither the wand nor the floor vac have any suction AT ALL. In fact the vac makes absolutely no sound and you wouldn't even know that it had power to it unless the rollers are turned on, the rollers work just fine. I had this problem start about a month ago and then it just started working again after messing with it for a while, now it has happened again and I am getting a little agitated! Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a filter inside the canister, and by your description it sounds like it needs to be cleaned. if you remove the filter and blow it out using a air compressor or using a slightly ridged brush and tapping the filter out this should solve your ...

It's a lot of green. Good thing we like to eat salads. Early on in the CSA season, it's always a box of green. Later, there will be plenty of tomatoes and eggplant and carrots. For now, though, it's lettuce and radishes. This box of veggies arrived last Thursday. In it was broccoli raab, arugula, bok choy, red and green leaf lettuce, chives and radishes.
All that's left at this point is the radishes and the bok choy. Eric, one of the owners of Foxtail Farm, gave me the idea for a radish and butter sandwich. Doesn't it sound lovely? I have thick, hearty farm bread, on which I plan to spread a generous layer of butter, then the radishes, sea salt and pepper. Maybe a few lettuce leaves.

(Jan. 25, 2012) On January 17, 2012, Indonesia's Constitutional Court ruled that outsourcing labor, which in this context means hiring workers on short-term contracts without benefits, is unconstitutional. The idea behind this decision is that workers have "the right to a decent job and a decent life" and that this principle should be the basis of labor law. (Faisal Maliki Baskoro et al.,Revision of Labor Law May Benefit 16 Million Workers, THE JAKARTA GLOBE (Jan. 20, 2010).) The decision should lead to a revision of existing labor laws, particularly the law on manpower, so that outsourced laborers have the same benefits as permanent company employees, according to news reports. (Id., see also Major Labour Laws of Indonesia (Aug. 4, 2005), available at International Labour Organization (ILO) website [this website includes, inter alia, English and Indonesian-language texts of Act No. 21, 2000, on trade unions, and Act No. 13, 2003, on manpower].)
The Indonesian Workers Association has been taking action through the courts on the issue of outsourced labor since 2003. Timbul Siregar, the Association's chairman, called the recent decision a victory for the 16 million outsourced workers in the country, who make up about 40% of the workforce. Siregar added that the organization would be working to make sure the changes are implemented. With such a large number of workers not considered to be full-time, long-term employees, the Court's decision could have an impact on a large number of people. (Baskoro et al., supra.)
Arguing that revision of the law on manpower would result in greater harmony between workers and employers, Siregar stated:
Most friction comes from worker dissatisfaction. The revision will reduce the amount of friction. … We are currently working on a dispute settlement between Chevron and its outsourced drivers. The new labor law should be able to force Chevron to pay the drivers their overtime pay. (Id.)
A spokesman for the Indonesia Employers Association (Apindo), on the other hand, stated that the Court's decision could result in layoffs of local contract employees or relocations to other countries by corporations. Haryadi Sukamdani of Apindo argued, "[l]ocal manufacturers are already in competition with cheaper imported products. Now, employee costs will rise. … I don't think the judges in the Constitutional Court understand the effect of their ruling." (Id.)
The Indonesian Manpower and Transmigration Ministry is planning to revise the applicable law and produce a manual to guide companies in avoiding labor relations difficulties. (Id.)

The future is uncertain. That may always be the case, but getting down to specifics Congress has passed the $858 billion tax cut bill. No one knows what the effects of the legislation will be, and those effects may never be clear-cut enough to allow for an obvious conclusion either next year or ever.
The legislation includes $801 billion in tax cuts and $57 billion in extended unemployment benefits.The Senate approved the package by 81 to 19. The final vote in the House was 277 to 148. Members of both parties cast ballots based mostly on their concern about the economy and the wrath of their constituents. Tax cuts are nearly always a path to voters ' hearts.
All the Bush tax cuts will be extended for two years. Many workers will get a single-year payroll tax benefit. One million or more Americans who would have become destitute will have unemployment insurance for as long as 13 months.
It is notable that there is still no verdict about what the Bush tax cuts did for the economy originally. They certainly did not prevent a deep recession. Some economists might make the case that the catastrophe could have been worse, but that is nothing more than conjecture.
The fact that the extremely wealthy will not pay more to the Treasury is the main headline in most of the media. Why should the rich not carry a larger burden to cut the deficit? The major real reason is that the rich benefited from a horse trade to get better tax treatment for the middle class. A tax on high income probably would not have done much to close the deficit, which will be above $1 trillion in the current federal fiscal year.
The president's original budget and the CBO analysis of that budget did not contemplate a large tax cut two years when they were authored. That means the data about national deficits and national debt are no longer valid. The budgets and their forecasts will need to be entirely reset to estimate how the economy will perform.
It has been said too often to mention that tax cuts should stimulate consumer and business spending. But, tax cuts have never come on the heals of a recession as deep as the one just past. Individuals and corporations may save the money that the tax cuts "give" them to lower debt and prepare for another possible economic downturn. The irony of that is if the money is not spent, the chance of a downturn increase, probably sharply.
Congress and the Administration might have been better off to say that people and companies could enjoy tax cuts if they could prove that they spent the money the tax package gives them. That would make too much sense.

We had our dinner in the Italian. Unfortunately, they would not bring in speakers and a mic for us to use. At first I was upset by this, fortunately we were the only ones in the restaurant for most of the dinner. We had someone do introductions when the bridal party entered the restaurant. we also had my father do his speech along with the maid of honor and best man. We decided to leave any other speeches to the pool side reception. In the end something I was very worried about worked out.

Does anyone have a different email or contact for the resort wedding department other than firstname.lastname@example.com? We are meeting with our travel agent tomorrow to put our deposits down and I have been trying to get through to the resort to make sure they have availability at the hammocks location for the week we're booking, but have not gotten a response back yet.

@ Trisha: Do you remember rooughly how much you paid for the extra flower decorations you had at your ceremony... hanging off the hammocks? I remember you mentioned that they would bring that to your dinner and decorate with them too. So I wanted to know how much the resort would be charging. If it's too much, maybe to look for another florist.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 04:19 PM
Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to this website but I've been avidly perusing everyone's comments and suggestions about the resort and how their weddings have turned out! It is a little hard planning something from so far away so I was wondering if you could help me with some of the wedding planning I'm having issues with! I'm getting married at the Tulum Gazebo and staying at Coba. We're going to be a fairly small group, 16-17 people max, and wanted to know where to have the reception. We want it to be private and intimate but at the same time fun and enjoyable. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Posted 13 December 2012 - 08:26 AM
The extra flowers were $35 or $45. Not bad at all (but I chose flowers that were shown inside the flower catalog).
MayanBride, it's up to you. Do you want to pay extra for the private reception, or is a secluded area in a restaurant with probably 30-45 minutes of it to yourself enough?

Background: Font color:
No worries, mega cow was here.
I was on my way to my first lesson, which I knew was Care of Magical Creatures. I love that lesson.
"Hey Hagrid!" I beamed at the giant man who stood before me
" 'Ello there Katy, how you been?"
"I've been good, yourself?"
"Well, Mum still hasn't been in contact, Sophie, she's still a "rebel", Tony he's still a workaholic. And I haven't seen Michael since he left and that was like years ago. Oh and my Dad still hates me!" I added with a smile
"Ah, Kates, don't worry, us 'ere at 'Ogwarts love you!"
Then the class came, it was smaller this year as it was NEWT level, we had all houses instead of us being split. And to my delight, Elle had a stonkin' fat lip. When I asked Dom, she said that Elle should learn to think before she opens that ugly gob of hers.
I couldn't put it better myself. Lesson went quick, we did Unicorns, not that I mind, I LOVE UNICORNS. And I think they love me. I hope. I want one, they're gorgeous.
Then I had Charms, which is okay as I sit with Fred. So I made my way up until I heard someone in heels run up after me.
"Kat!" Elle squeaked
"Since when did anyone call me Kat?" I said woodenly
"Aw, you're so funny!" She slapped my arm (bitch) "Look at my face, your friend did this to me! Why didn't you stick up for me? You're my sister, I deserve your support!" She whined, ergh she is SOOO annoying.
"Because Elle, I actually prefer Dom to you. You know as she's nice to me and doesn't annoy me or talks in a strangely high pitched voice."
Woah, go me. I left her with a look of utter suprise on her face. I stomped to Charms
"FREDDY" I jumped on his back
"Jeeeez' Titch you scared me! Ready for Charms?"
"DONT CALL ME TITCH! I AM AN AVERAGE HEIGHT, sort of. And yes, I am."
We walked into Charms. I sat at a desk, my desk, has been since first year. Then Professor Flitwick spoke
"Miss. Andrews. That is no longer your desk, new seating arrangements everyone!"
No, Merlin no. I love sitting with Fred. But he got put with Hannah, her hair went pink then purple then blue. PRETTY! She fancied him so bad.
"Katy, you are here. Next to Daniel Brown."
Daniel Brown- Ravenclaw, prefect. Good looking. Very good looking,
I went to sit down with him. We chatted, helped each other. Well he helped me I'm shocking at Charms, Flitwick said he's surprised as Sophie was excellent. Well Flitters (CREATIVE, I KNOW!) I'm not Sophie. We carried on until the end of lesson, I had a free period so I was going to write some letters. One to Dad, one to Tony and reply to Sophie.
I'll let you in on a secret, I write to Mum and Michael. I don't send them, I just keep them in a box in my trunk, but shh.
I was walking to meet Lucy when I heard someone running behind me, I turned around to see Daniel.
"Hey Daniel, can I help?"
"Erm, call me Danny please, I was just wondering, if it was okay, well it doesn't have to be Okay." He kept stuttering
"Yes...." I was itching to leave
"Will you go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?" He finally stuttered out "I wanted to ask you sooner, but I thought you'd have a date, Merlin, you don't have a date do you?"
Oh, My, Merlin. Danny Brown wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me! If I was any other girl, I'd probably pee myself. But I kept myself cool and collected.
"Brilliant, Ok. I'll talk to you soon." He went.
I've never been on a Hogsmeade date before, I always went with our group, obviously James or Freddy had a date who sat with us. But I've never had one.
She explained that Danny was the hottest boy at Hogwarts. She said it was easy because most of the boys in our year and below are related to her or going out with someone she's related to. But then she dropped the bombshell.
I explained this to Dom and she rolled her eyes and gave me a hug.
"Lets talk" She said after a moments silence
I didn't get what she meant, but then she told me to talk talk, so we started talking about funny memories. Our sorting came up first
Elle had been waiting rather impatiently for the past six names now. She trotted up to the podium and sat on the seat
"Ahh, Another Andrews. Strange family you have. But you strike me to be like your Father and your Mother infact. Better be.... HUFFLEPUFF!"
Elle was delighted anyone could see, but then I realized I was next.
I squeaked, I didn't want to be a Hufflepuff. Not with Elle
"We had fun when we were younger, didn't we?" She added with a sigh
It was our last year now, NEWTS looming over us, we'd be separated soon. Hannah soon joined us, then Lucy and we all sat on my bed in silence reflecting over our years at Hogwarts.
Then Amelia came in with three letters.
I opened Tonys first
I DO BEHAVE. I just get detention a lot. Then Sophies...
I LOVE YA! Haha, I miss you too sweetie! I enclosed some chocolates for you and the girls and some original WWW sweets for Jack.
I heard what Dommy did with the face cream, silly girl! And that she punched the she devil in the face. Tell her nice one from me!
I cannot believe that you have a date, with a hotty! Take it you're over Jamesy then?
hate yaa!
I hope you are well, and behaving. I heard your Weasley friend hurt Elle, please don't let it happen again.
I have enclosed some money, buy whatever it is people like you buy.
All the best
Who signs their letters to their daughter, all the best. Oh merlin.
This'll be interesting.
"Right Keepers! I will throw 5 Quaffles into either hoop, catch them all Ok!" I announced and I saw a couple of Fifth years come up and Rose Weasley. I like Rose, she's funny and always gets me lush chocolate for Christmas!
I had my heart set on a sixth year boy as he was the best. But even then he only caught 3 out of the 5 Quaffles. But Rose.... IS AMAZING OH MERLIN!
She caught 4 out of 5 and she only missed the fifth because Scorp' whooped and she went all funny. Right keeper, DONE!
"Thanks for all the keepers for trying out, but our new keeper is another Potter/Weasley- ROSE!"
"Oh sorry Kate, she can't play this year because of the face cream incident. Sorry I forgot to tell you!" Jack said
Shit, shitty, shit! We've lost Dominique! I told them it was okay and that there was now space for 2 new chasers. I saw Hugo mount his broom
He was okay, but he kept getting distracted by things. I cannot have that on a team.
But then little Lily Potter mounted her broom. She was quick and nimble! Clearly nobody had seen her on a broom as James and Al' were both their with their jaws on the floor. Bless. She got off and blushed
"How did I do?" She asked. She's so adorable
"Brilliant Lils! You're fantastic!"
I thought we'd finished but there was still one more space and Jack came up. Oh no, why is he doing this, Jack doesn't play Quidditch. He plays jokes not fly around on a broom! I couldn't look
I looked up to see Jack flying amazingly. Almost as good as Lily! Wow...

I remember reading about that. Can you find an article and post the body/link here? It'd add way more to the discussion.
sorry if i wasn't clear enough. in the last few days Obamas old priest said on TV during church or something that america is terrible and some other things i can't post.
Dug it up.
By BRIAN ROSS and REHAB EL-BURI
March 13, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."
In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.
Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."
An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.
Sen. Obama told the New York Times he was not at the church on the day of Rev. Wright's 9/11 sermon. "The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification," Obama said in a recent interview. "It sounds like he was trying to be provocative," Obama told the paper.
Rev. Wright, who announced his retirement last month, has built a large and loyal following at his church with his mesmerizing sermons, mixing traditional spiritual content and his views on contemporary issues.
"I wouldn't call it radical. I call it being black in America," said one congregation member outside the church last Sunday.
"He has impacted the life of Barack Obama so much so that he wants to portray that feeling he got from Rev. Wright onto the country because we all need something positive," said another member of the congregation.
Rev. Wright, who declined to be interviewed by ABC News, is considered one of the country's 10 most influential black pastors, according to members of the Obama campaign.
Obama has praised at least one aspect of Rev. Wright's approach, referring to his "social gospel" and his focus on Africa, "and I agree with him on that."
Sen. Obama declined to comment on Rev. Wright's denunciations of the United States, but a campaign religious adviser, Shaun Casey, appearing on "Good Morning America" Thursday, said Obama "had repudiated" those comments.
In a statement to ABCNews.com, Obama's press spokesman Bill Burton said, "Sen. Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church. Sen. Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Sen. Obama deeply disagrees. But now that he is retired, that doesn't detract from Sen. Obama's affection for Rev. Wright or his appreciation for the good works he has done."

The man is -- Partly Right. Morally, America would be in the top 0's for goodness. The countries ratified by Greed, Wanting Power, Cash, Influence, and Non-Cultural and Un guided lives that are hurting this country. And now a days the countries going in an even more awful turn as the Governments having a bit of.. Issues, you could say. Either way, Its is pretty wrong for the Pastor to do so. Yet -- I hope that Senater Barack Obama isn't hurt by it, which he shhouldn't, Since his mentor may hate America now.. but Obama's proved he doesn't. I say, All it does is show he's a bit more Independent then people would acctually consider him to be.
I still won't vote for him, this doesn't change my opinion of him at all.
why not?
Because he's WAY too liberal for me. In my opinion, democrats are generally the young, uneducated, and oppressed. People who have hope, in short. Republicans are generally realists who see the world for what it is, and understand that we have to worry about the here and now. Both types of people are necessary, but I choose realism.
Megamickel, you seem to always speak about people being ignorant and the above post was pretty naive of you. Most college students and recent graduates are liberal. That is what education will do to you.
He's not too Liberal, to be honest. His ACTIONS have been Liberal, but at times when the government is as it is.. Liberalism goes into a pretty far off subject. Honestly, Realism as a republican is mainly focused on money and wealthyer people. If young people go on the democratic side 1) they may be a more closer to republicans than you think, and 2)If democratz didn't tihnk a bout the world and worry about it here an now, they wouldn't exist. In short, he's just cutting taxes for the people that can't pay them. And stopping a gulf war thats wasting america's revenue. What a fun way to run a government. McCain is doing the same thing, putting him and his "I'm cuttin spending!" line at an end. Or, like the Daddy Bush who made millions of dollars with his war. All I'm saying is, theres a twinge of Liberalism that this country lacks, a complete capitolist society its a bit murderous. As we all have seen, Lower class citizens suffer while the rich get richer.
Oh, sorry, went off topic, dun kil meh >.<
Young people are recent graduates. But most people I know who are in their 30s-40s (not even just my family, either) tend to be more conservative, because they've realized that hope is fuckin' retarded and doesn't solve the problems of the real world. Welfare sucks because all it does is cause people to be dependent. Free health care would still have a divide, because the rich people would be able to get BETTER health care - which I totally agree with! If you have more money, you deserve more stuff! I'm a poor, working-class American, but I still hate the concept of communism. You apparently don't like capitalism, but I love it. Capitalism is the fuel that drives some of the best technological advances. Would Ford have worked so hard on his Model T and his assembly line if there were no profit incentive? No. Would we have made many of the advances we have in medical technology? No, pharmaceutical companies are generally in it for the money. Hell, could we even be here without greedy people? No! Armor Games tries to make money through us via ads, and the companies who publish ads are greedy and trying to get us to go to their web pages. See, it's all about profit - without that, we couldn't be here. Funny coming from a fascist? But it's true. Anyone can get rich if they get a good idea and market it right. When Starbucks started, did anyone think it would catch on? I doubt it. But look at them now, you can't throw a pebble without bouncing it off three of 'em >_<
Whoa, Whoa. Backwards, FORD would have worked on Mr. T because their would be an incentive. But honestly, Capitolism at its extent would end up an economy where the rich would survive and the poor wouldn't. Mabye so that a Poor Working-Class American can get buy and see the richer things. But do you belive that a man that doesn't make as much money is entitled to nothing? Because of the way he was born? Maybe if he has some alchoholic theft life I'd say give him a hell of a time but Jeez, I'm not syaing put it at the concept of Communism. But don't let it fall into the concept of GREED! When Starbucks started, it had to hire poor people, ones needing jobs hoping to be well fed by the company that can't get hid by a pebble. If all of that crumbles, then profit incentive can't drive. Pharmaceutical companies would keep going, with less greed drive. So then the littler people of America could make it through. Now, to be honest, I've seen Poverty with my own eyes in lots of places, America is the one place where its starting. I hope it doesn't. Welfare is retarded, but people that become dependent don't deserve it. Kinda why its welfare, its to help the lives of those who need it. Not of those who suck off of it. and Hope always helps, buddy, you just have to back it up with actios. Everything runs on money, not on greed. Armor games does do the Via Ad thing, so companies don't put you at your web pages to suck your MONEY! Just to keep the natural flow of market running around. No one forces a man to buy something. But something a man needs, desperateley, something that will help him survive costs so much he can't afford it? And a company making an above Research, Profit, Hiring, and Making incentive SHOULD be able to cut the price down because they can. Won't kill the buisness, won't kill the growth of the company. All it will do is keep it a penny slower. Which the world needs if people who use technological advances are to survive. I'm not saying kill the idea of it, but everything has to be ocntrolled. Or.. All in all.. Capitalism is an extent which favors the richest, and slowly by slowly makes its mark at other places. Greedy leaders in the past such have kings have been downfall to communities. Nowadays, the presedent gets 50Grand a year [I think, kinda forgot my history textbook] and Corporate America Drives it. But with Capitalism allowing jobs to be shipped to China nothing good will happen to America Economically. And Greedy idiots won't down it and help the world KNOWING that they'll keep up their advances, money, influence and also keep things up. But no, another 50 10,000 Dollar Bills is too much to giant corporations running billions of dollars out.
^I think you're seeing me as some rich kid from a rich family. I'm really, REALLY not. We live in a small, 3-bedroom house with 5 people, living off of my parents' wages from paycheck to paycheck. We were a little better before my dad lost his old job, but that wasn't his fault. Regardless, I'll work my way up and get rich, I'll take care of my family, and I'll create jobs for poorer people in the process. You think rich people work at Starbucks? They don't pay very well, I think it's like $7.00 an hour in most places. Maybe a little higher if you're in a place with a high cost of living, but not enough. I respect someone who creates a large corporation or invents some new product that needs to be built, as it opens jobs and opportunities to people instead of just another handout.
I heard what you said. I know that they don't have cash. But a Large Corporation that creates Jobs an Oppurunities for people may be all well. But the problem with that is if those companies all want cash and don't care about much else, they'll fly to Asia, leaving the Jobs. All we'll get is expensive crap in the market. Now, starbucks is Domestic, so if I showed you the Domestic side of it, in truth 1) With the way the Economys going and the way the country collects taxes all has a big impact on the market. And such a Market needs some Governmental movement to keep it running. Something that Lobbyists and whatnot are keeping out of control. Someone helping the world is AWESOME. But working your way up and getting rich and having a family is tough, the world and your sweet country have to help you on with the job. The Big Shceme is, That [I think in the Bible, too, I'm not Christian] but somewhere it talkes about not to be Greedy. Only because it ruins other peoples lives. And maybe yours, too. If your rich or not. Someone that creates a Large corporation inventing something that took millions to be built has to be repaid -- Yet.. Repaid at such a Financial Cost that some people needing health care and what not can't receive it? There should be some leeway in the way corporations work instead of just Deeds and Stocks. Yet its not running that way. So maybe Capitalism drives the worlds advances, but it should be controlled so that when its advanced people aren't left behind. After 2009 America is going HD TV's. The Price of them is also falling. If the Economy is working as it is now, giving money for the rich and sucking away the value of our dollar, market, and need. Things will be harder to get. Specially for someone making 7 an hour.

Heating Plates for Chick Brooders
An alternative to a heat lamp. Less of a fire risk. A heating plate simulates a hen keeping chicks warm and cozy beneath her feathers.
Heating Plate & Cover Dimensions (both sold separately):
- Extra Small: 10" x 10"
- Small: 12" x 12"
- Medium: 16" x 16"
- Large: 16" x 24"
Common Uses
- Extra Small:
- Keeps up to 15 chicks warm
- 15 watts/hr
- Plate & Cover: 10" x 10"
- Small:
- Keeps up to 20 chicks warm
- 22 watts/hr
- Plate & Cover: 12" x 12"
- Medium:
- Keeps up to 30 chicks warm
- 42 watts/hr
- Plate & Cover: 16" x 16"
- Large:

- 66 watts/hr
- Plate & Cover: 16" x 24"
- Height of all sizes adjusts from 1.5" to 6" by adjusting the yellow legs
- ABS plastic
- Cord length: 70"
- 1 year warranty
Use a Dial-A-Temp to allow control of Premier's Heating Plates output between 105°F to 125°F or a Heating Plate Temperature Controller which allows control of Premier's Heating Plates output between 20% - 100% of full output.
Heating plate advantages over a heat lamp:
- Uses much less electricity. Only 22 watts (66 for the larger plate) vs 175 or 250 watts for a heat lamp.
- Less risk of fire because of the much lower surface temperature (125°).
- A hen keeps chicks warm beneath a heat source. So does a heat plate.
The rugged plate cover (optional) prevents older chicks from perching on top and fouling the unit with droppings. However, the plate can be hand-washed to remove dust and debris.
How to Use
Height adjustment is important. As the chicks grow, use the adjustable legs to increase the height of the plate above the bedding and chicks.
When the heating plate is plugged directly into the outlet, the red light comes on and stays on. When it is plugged into the heating plate temperature controller (#540229), it will blink based on the min/max adjustment. Slow blink toward minimum and quicker toward max. If you turn it all the way up, it will come on full time.

LOVE this. My chicks last year were the most well adjusted ever. They had good nights with lots of rest and transitioned outside great. On very cold nights I put the heater plate in the coop in case they needed it. They've stayed together as a very coherent and peaceful flock. Using the plate again this year.
Bobileigh L from North Carolina
Peace of mind! Worrying about heat lamps and bulbs kept me up at night. Did any bulbs blow last night? Are my chicks all dead this morning? No more worries about that. Also, the birds sleep at night!! This is a huge deal. Now they only scatter and waste food during the day! Haha! They also transition from the brooder more easily.
I haven't been using this product long enough to comment on longevity.
Leslie S from Ohio
This is a marvelous invention! So much safer than a lamp, and obviously better for the chicks' sense of security. My chicks are so quiet and calm! The only noise they make is that little contented peeping in their throats. They can control their own temperatures and feel safe with somewhere dark to hide. They also get to sleep in the dark instead of bright light 24/7. It's the next best thing to a live hen. Very easy to use and adjust the height. I (and my chicks) are very happy with it!
Shannon H from Kansas
This is a great product. Uses less energy than a heat lamp and is much safer too. Our chicks sleep so quietly at night. I purchased the cover to go with it too. I love that it is easily adjustable to accommodate the chicks as they grow. Fast shipping too! ! !
Lynne H from Tennessee
We have both the large and the small plates. The small is just big enough for 20 chicks. Definitely get the cover. The chicks sleep so quietly all night long... much better than when we used the heat lamp. The large is quite a bit hotter than the small, but chicks seem to know how to adjust themselves to keep at the perfect temperature.


text: Over the next day or so, you'll be seing a set of commits to the "sommerfeld_i386mp_1" branch for files under sys/arch/i386 which will contain preliminary code to spin up secondary processors and configure the various APIC interrupt controllers. This work is based on code submitted by Stephan Grefen in a PR last summer, but substantially reworked and extended. This code is not quite mature enough to go into -current, but is in a state where it would be quite useful for folks with x86 MP systems available to try out and see how far it gets, as well as for other folks to try out to make sure it continues to work correctly on uniprocessor systems. i expect that with some cleanup, it could be merged within a month or two -- either before, or after, the 1.5 cut depending on what the portmaster and releng folks think is appropriate. I'll send mail when there's something checked in which is worth testing.. Note that this does not yet get to the point where you can do useful work with the additional processors. I'll let the person working on that half speak up when he's ready.. - Bill

Dora B. Montefiore, New Age October 1905
Source: New Age, p. 650-1, 12 October 1905;
Transcribed: by Ted Crawford.
In London Opinion of October 7th, Mr. A.G. Hales, writing of the work of the late Dr. Barnardo, remarks: "The nation has buried a hero; can it not give birth to a heroine? We want a great woman, and we want her at once." He then goes on to state what he, as a man, requires this great woman to do. "It is to help the female children of the poor that we want a wonderful woman in Britain to-day." The way she is to help them, according to Mr. Hales, is: She must ask boldly and bravely for a farm from some of the other women who have many farms, and when she has one let her ask for another, and keep on asking until she has enough for present needs.... When the woman comes upon the scene and starts her crusade, when she has got her farms and has cut them up into helpful holdings, when the girl children are growing up ruddy-cheeked, sturdy-limbed, and healthy, then they should be taught all the old useful things which women used to know.... Teach them to scrub and sew, and bake and brew, to cook a working-man's dinner as it should be cooked. Teach them to cut down a pair of man's trousers so that a boy may have a pair of knickerbockers; teach them to know how to put a decent patch on a pair of pants; teach them to darn socks so that the man that wears them won't wish he had been born a horse to be shod by a smith; teach them the mysteries of the churn, the wash-tub – never mind the mandoline and harmonium ... teach them to milk a cow and to feed a pig; show them how potatoes, carrots, and cabbages are grown, and let them grow them.... There is romance as well as business in the schemes that I have outlined; the romance consists in saving many lives, the business lies in the conduct of the farms."
Much as I sympathise with all Mr. Hales writes about the little girl waifs needing help, and needing it on business lines, I feel bound to criticise his scheme from three points of view; first from the point of view of rescuing these millions of potential mothers and workers in order to send them out to Australia or Canada, when we need them here in the heart of the Empire. Second, from the point of view of rescuing the girls only, because if the girls need mothering and training, so also do the boys; and the big mother heart to which Mr. Hales appeals could never feel truly happy, or rest satisfied, unless it enjoyed the sight of the boys and girls working and playing together, as Nature meant they should work and play. And thirdly, I criticise, and would oppose to the utmost, any scheme for the training of girl children which should inculcate the backward and false teaching that a woman's work should be limited to work for the individual man, as opposed to work for herself and for the community. And, further, I would criticise any training that tended to keep "home industries," such as brewing, washing, and baking, in an individualistic instead of a socialised state. We have nowadays machinery, electricity, hydraulics to take the place of the sinews and muscles of the people, and there must be no going back to that order of things when, as Mrs. Stetson puts it in her Women and Economics, "all that was basest and foulest woman had, in the last instance, to handle and remove. Grease, ashes, dust, foul linen, and sooty ironware – among these her days must pass."
Let me enlarge a little on my third criticism of Mr. Hales's scheme. Whether in the "Intellectual" who is obliging enough to plan out women's lives as planets circling round the central sun of the individual man for whom the woman is to cook and darn; or whether it is the working man enslaving his mate in unorganised and never-ending domestic duties, leaving her no time or energy for self-development – the lack of imagination and the want of solidarity: between human beings who should have the same interests is naïvely visible. Men will not see that women crowd into the factory partly because there they have fixed hours, relatively better pay, and infinitely more liberty than they can obtain in domestic work; so the last desperate attempt of the man to preserve his unpaid, too often overworked, domestic slave, is to catch her young in the slums, put her on a farm, and teach her there to cook a working-man's dinner, darn his socks and put patches on his trousers. Life is a comedy to those who think; and there is a very comic side to this despairing appeal to the Great Woman to fall in with the aspirations of the Little Man (who needs dinners and patches and darns), and to start a country industry on a large scale for the manufacture of those delectable beings "who know all the old useful things which women used to know." The despairing, appealing man forgets that we are all creatures of our period and of our environment; and that modern science would fain have women forget most of the old and no longer useful things which they used to know; and would have them think and reason and work on new and broader and better-informed lines. By all I means let us have our farms on which to bring up our girls and boys, but don't teach our girls to churn, because all the churning of the future should be done by machinery in co-operative dairies. By all means let us have our "helpful holdings," but there, again, let us learn through organisation and co-operation that it is bad economics to set growing girls to run an unmixed régime of pig-feeding, darning, washing, and patching of pants. Womanhood has been degraded long enough by having to perform only the most menial and the worst-paid tasks; and motherhood has been degraded because the girl-children, who are to be the mothers of the future, are too often made drudges and slaves during the years they should be doing light and suitable work, and preparing, by a scientific training, for undertaking the supreme function of motherhood. What we should teach our girl children when we get them on to our farm colonies is, that because they are a sex specialised to reproduction, they can best serve that specialisation by learning first how to be honestly economically independent; secondly, how to choose suitable work, and thirdly, how, through organisation, co-operation, and the utilisation of modern scientific improvements, that work can be made not only as light and as pleasant as possible, but a means also of self-development and self-expression. If we want to get out of women their best and noblest work, drudgery must cease, and work with an ideal must take its place.
And now I am going to make a statement which I fear will bring upon me angry reproach and expostulation from men, who, like Mr. A.G. Hales, have not yet succeeded in emancipating themselves from certain prejudices and formulas of thought. I can see no more reason why every girl – yes, even every slum-born girl – should be taught to scrub and darn, than that every boy should be taught to be a cobbler or a carpenter and plumber. Shoes wear out just as much as do socks, but we don't expect the men of the house to do the cobbling and complain because it is done in an amateurish way. Why should we not have small organised industries of "dameries" and "patcheries," where specialists, who have learnt the trade (just as cobblers learn their trade), could work at fixed hours, and at fixed prices? It is because factory work is done in the company of others, in well-lighted workshops, and for a fixed number of hours, that it is so much more attractive to the working woman than the long, cold, lonely vigil, after a hard day's work, when the darning, patching and general tidying up has to be done. Do not let us forget that just as in the upper and middle classes greater freedom of expression, and increased facilities for development and for recreation fall to the lot of women; so the same conditions and forces must be at work among those who in the past have found no place, either in social or in intellectual life. It is to me a strange thing that among modern writers none understand better than do the Russian novelists how to voice the half-articulate stirrings and aspirations which, consciously or unconsciously, lie at the root of the modern woman movement. As long ago as 1863 Chernitshevsky, the brilliant genius and large-hearted, reformer, the story of whose imprisonment and torture is one of the blackest pages in modern Russian history, put into the mouth of the heroine in his novel, A Vital Question, these words: "I only know that I do not want to be anybody's slave! I want to be free! I do not want to be under obligations to anyone, so that anyone should dare to say to me, 'You must do something for me.' I want to do only what I have it in my heart to do, and let others do the same; I do not want to ask anything of anybody; I do not want to curtail anybody's freedom; I want to be free myself!" And again, later on, when a radiant vision appears to the same girl, now grown to womanhood; the vision, which is "Equal Rights" personified, exclaims: "And woman! how pitiful woman was before I appeared! She was then an abject, servile person. ... Without me, enjoyment of the body, delight in beauty, are tedious, gloomy, wretched; without me there is no purity of heart; there is fallacious purity of body." When the great woman comes, who is to lead the slum children forth into the inheritance of the land which should be their own, she must have seen and communed with the radiant vision of "Equal Rights" – otherwise her work, like that of many others who have gone before, will be in vain.

The Bonus - Basil Pistachio Pesto
Well, after lamenting over the loss of production from my basil plants, I had a colander full of uninfested basil leaves that were rescued one by one from the culled stalks. J washed and cleaned these one by one to make sure there were no hidden baby scale bugs still attached. I had never before made fresh basil pesto before, but seen many different recipes, so figured I couldn't go too wrong. One thing missing though, was Pine nuts. I haven't seen pine nuts here yet, though I know China produces them and does eat them in the north country. I figured I would try substituting with the excellent pistachios we had on hand for sake of experimenting. It turned out great and was delicious :)

The Washington Post published an article today honoring the late Hazel Johnson-Brown, 83, who was the first African-American woman to rise to the rank of general in the Army. She also served as chief of the Army Nurse Corps.
Brown passed away in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
According to the article, her story is the harrowing one of a farm girl form Pennsylvania who enlisted in 1955, seven years after President Truman racially desegregated the U.S. Military.
She was a highly educated, decorated hero for both her work in nursing and for her contributions to national security.

Thread: Ti-84 stopped working help?
11-12-2010 #1sikxsikxsikx Guest
Ti-84 stopped working help?
I have been using my ti-84 calc since the beginning without any troubles... until today. Last night I was using the latest version along with the PSNHermesV2 payload so I could play COD-BO online.
Everything was working perfect until I woke up this morning and now my calc hangs on the p6waitenum everytime and never gets "done". I've tried other payloads and they all do the same too, even the default...? Anyone ever had this happen to them? I've done a factory resest and my PS3 is still 3.41. Thanks.
Fixed now. My fault. My USB hub I use was only half plugged in(I took out the PS3eye usb). Everything works again just fix.
