In Topic: Ozone 5 for Cinema 4D R12
03 October 2011 - 12:31 PM
I don't mind saving a ton but right now 90% of the time I save a scene file and go to open later or it crashes and I have to re-open I get the ole' "Incorrect file structure" error... killing me. And this was totally my fault and I should have read the fine print, but $95 for each Net-Render computer is crazy, bet that works really well too. Back when I had Ozone 2 I don't remember having to purchase a separate render license.
In Topic: building a render machine for c4d -what would you do
01 December 2010 - 03:53 PM
I use a couple of Windows Servers with 8 dual core AMD Opteron with onboard gpu and a bunch of windows cpu's w/dual core and again with AMD Opteron for just Net render. The servers seem to work really well.
In Topic: Apple Xserve is dead
08 November 2010 - 02:02 PM
That's kinda the same boat we are in here. I would love to know what others are using or are using with xsan that is rack mountable ?
In Topic: Apple Xserve is dead
06 November 2010 - 01:06 AM
Wow, I thought a lot of people were using the Xserve/Xsan combo ? Xserve was the perfect MDC for xsan with a lot of advantages, sure a Mac Pro could be a MDC, but that would suck imo. I don't know, maybe xsan will be next to go. Not sure what apples plans are but should be interesting to see where this goes down the road. Probably be using a room full of iphone as a render farm....lol

With widespread use of new social media, controversial developments in such bio-technical practices as the cloning of mammals, rapid advances in various forms of telecommunication, and the increasing sophistication of technological weaponry in the military, the triumph of technology remains a defining feature of modern life. For the most part, modern humans remain unflinchingly confident in the possibilities technology holds for continuing to improve the human condition. Indisputably, technology has benefited human life in innumerable ways. However, as with other features of modernity, technology has also had significant, albeit largely unanticipated, social consequences. Working within a sociological paradigm, this course will focus on the less often examined latent functions of technology in modern society. It will consider, for example, the social effects of technology on community life, on privacy, and on how people learn, think, understand the world, communicate, and organize themselves. The course will also examine the effects of technology on medicine, education, criminal law, and agriculture and will consider such counter-cultural reactions to technology as the Luddite movement in early nineteenth century England, Amish agrarian practices, and the CSA (community supported agriculture) movement.

"One is happy to report that Israel Shenker is still at the aerosol stage. His energy is still compressed. The result distinguishes him both as a Jew and as an observer of Jews."
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
"Say, for instance, you're sprayed with anthrax from an aerosol source, or it gets on you from a letter, ... Our research shows that if the clothes are put in a sealed plastic bag and then your body washed with soap and water, that should eliminate the spores."
David Weber
"The speculation is that it would be released into the air as an aerosol, possibly from an airplane or perhaps in a closed room. People would then breathe it in,"
Johns Hopkins
"My husband is the criminal who did this. He lit a trash pile and a aerosol can popped out onto the grass and caught it on fire."
Kelly Moore
"Aerosol cans explode like a bomb. When they are subject to heat they become very dangerous."
Martin Dunn
"That aerosol, including the bacteria, could get sucked into a building's air conditioning system or could float down on the street in front of a building and be inhaled by someone passing by,"

Rating: | PG |
Genre: | Comedy, Romance, SciFi/Fantasy |
Release Date: | March 1, 1985 |
Running time: | 82 minutes |
Cast: | Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels, Danny Aiello, Irving Metzman, Stephanie Farrow |
Director: | Woody Allen |
Producer: | Robert Greenhut |
Writer: | Woody Allen |
Distributor: | Orion Pictures Corporation |
Description: Woody Allen blurs the the boundaries between the real and unreal in this unique comic fantasy. The scene is a small town in the mid-1930s. Trapped in a dead-end job and an abusive marriage, Cecelia (Mia Farrow) regularly seeks refuge in the local movie house. She becomes so enraptured by the latest attraction, an RKO screwball comedy called The Purple Rose of Cairo, that she returns to the theatre day after day. During one of these visits, the film's main character Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), pauses in his dialogue, turns towards the audience, and says to Cecelia, My God, how you must love this picture. Then he climbs out of the movie, much to the consternation of the rest of the audience and the other characters on screen. Liberated from his customary black-and-white environs, he accompanies Cecelia on a tour of the town, eventually falling in love with her. Meanwhile, the other Purple Rose characters, unable to proceed with the film, carry on a discussion with themselves. Desperately, the RKO executives seek out Gil Shepherd, the actor who played the hero of Purple Rose. Shepherd (also played by Daniels), is sent to Cecelia's hometown to see if he can repair the damage.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Call to boost funds for Indigenous media
Eric TlozekThe chief executive of Australia's first Aboriginal media organisation says Indigenous media needs more government money to help it keep delivering services.
Jennifer Howard says the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association, or CAAMA. has ridden out a period of financial trouble.
The company, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in May, recorded a $450,000 loss last financial year.
The annual report shows CAAMA had $675,000 in liabilities but only $400,000 in current assets.
Ms Howard says the company has been reducing its liabilities and will be in a stronger financial position by the end of this financial year.
"CAAMA has moved on from those more difficult financial times," she said.
"Things have improved.
"We've worked to improve our financial position and basically by the 30th of June this year there'll be a substantial turnaround."
She says the number of Aboriginal media organisations has increased and they are all competing for funding from the Indigenous Broadcasting Program.
"What is happening is that the IBP funding has not increased," she said.
"It's decreased in fact because basically there's more organisations to fund with the same pot of money that's been there for the last 20 years."

Tried Vasocharge pre-workout today...
Tried Vasocharge pre-workout today...
2 scoops to the head washed down with a diet mountain dew...30min later i was soaked in sweat after a light cardio warm-up, and started my upper body routine (in my parents basement, since I am here for thanksgiving.) Its a pretty well-equipped home gym so i hit the following in super-set fashion:
Incline DB press ss w/ lat pull downs
1x12, working up to 80lb dumbells (the heaviest i have here, with a dropset at the end.
lat pulls were 120lbs worth of plates, not really sure how that translates into my normal pulls.
I then hit cable rows ss w/ flat db presses, one arm at a time. 4 sets each there, then hit some arnold presses with db curls, face pulls, and weighted rope crunches, and pushups to failure, followed by 20min walking on the treadmill.
I LIKE vasocharge...a lot, almost as much as rpm. The pumps at the higher reps were crazy, and i am still pumped 2 hours later.
I am considering turning this into a little log as i try to drop some fat that i have put on by eating countless sweet potato pies and junk throughout the last month. Goal is to get under 200lbs. At the beginning of my workout today i weighed in at 215, and by the end was down to about 211.5. Drank a muscle milk rtd (like i said, this is all put together in the confines of my parents home gym, and HEALTHY food right now is scarce because of the holiday. My goal is 10%bf, and i figure i am hovering around 13% although it is really hard to tell with all this holiday bloat. I am back in NY tomorrow, and can begin eating like an actual bodybuilder/athlete once again.
Here are the only supplements i will be using during this 6-8 week run:
Pre workout: 2 scoops berry vasocharge, 4 scoops watermelon xtend
intra-workout: 4 scoops of xtend.
all the whey cinnamon bun blend.
My goals are to get to 9-10% and hold there, as i feel my endurance and strength suffers greatly below that bodyfat, and i look pretty damn good at 10.
Workouts will be full-body at high intensity 3-4x per week. cardio will follow weights and on off days I will alternate between HIIT and endurance cardio on the stair climber.
Onward. - 11-29-2008, 05:46 PM
I thought vaso charge was very over powering taste, did you think that? I love it though, makes my skin tingle.
VasoCharge is a fantastic pre-workout product !
VikingInc's Journey towards NSL Physique 2016 competition on March 12, 2016, in Houston, Texas. - 11-29-2008, 08:12 PM
I like vasocharges flavoring. The product works damn well for a <$10 supp (when purchased with xtend in the workout stack).
Its the first time I have used it other than way back a few samples. I am going to try it for the next month and half and see how it compares to rpm.
+1 for VasoCharge! Gives me good clean energy. Great price for a great product. Best tasting Pre-WO drink I've ever had too, although it's leaves a sulfuric aftertaste in my mouth.

Finally, some photos from Paris! What's there to say about Paris that hasn't already been said before? The city lived up to its hype, everything was super quaint and if wasn't quaint it was incredibly chic. We stayed at the Hotel Bonne Nouvelle which is near the Pompidou Center (which a few of these photos are from!). I'll be real and say that it was really just a glorified hostel (which I fully knew when I was booking it, the place was pretty cheap) but it is near the Bonne Nouvelle metro station in a part of Paris that certainly isn't far from the main attractions. This day we checked out Notre Dame, the Pompidou Center (quite possibly one of my favorite museums ever. That free photobooth thing is awesome! Nobody did the giant picture...although I wanted to. It would have been a hassle to carry around a rolled up poster of your face for most of the day anyway), Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, and the Marais. Montmarte was so pretty (and the view was beautiful!) and of course I kept thinking about how I had seen it in Amelie. I think Grant and I ate a minimum of two crepes a day while we were there (nutella and banana) which is definitely fine by me. If only every day could be a two crepe day.
On a current note, Grant and I saw Midnight In Paris this afternoon. Verdict? It was great! If it's playing near you definitely go see it. It was a very whimsical movie (which I definitely didn't expect from Woody Allen) and I had a smile on my face from beginning 'till end.
Edit! Firstly, thanks to Angie at my work for formatting my placement so nicely ;-) I'm in this month's 944 Magazine (with a cover by Shepard Fairey, no less!) Check it out:

The first stripe photo! Oh lord, so adorable!
Paris is my favourtie city in the world. I have been 8 times now and am still not tired of it. I brought my sister for the first time a few years back for her birthday. She was beyond excited to actually use the phrase, "Ou est le centre de Georges Pompidou?" which we had learned over and over in school. Haha! *sigh* It looks soooo amazing!!!!! :D :D Ahh Paris :)

Here it is, your first taste of the upcoming "Lost Scrolls" release from J Dilla. The "Lost Scrolls" will be all unreleased Dilla material and will come of somewhat of a surprise to more than a few. Not due to the lavish production work – the beats are prime, vintage Dilla start to finish. What will make "Lost Scrolls" unique is Dilla on the mic. This special 10" release of material from "Lost Scrolls" finds Dilla at home on the verbals just as he was always at home working an MPC. The projected is being assembled by long time friend and confident Frank Nitt from Frank N Dank who's put painstaking attention into maintaining Dilla's vision and energy through- out. This vinyl offering features "DeWitt To Do It" (DeWitt being Dilla's middle name) as well as the return of the Yancey Boys on "The Throwaway" where Dilla's brother Illa J trades verses with Nitt over a vintage Dilla beat. Pick it up now in time for this year's Dilla Day, a celebration of the life and music for the great J Dilla and you too will say "J Dilla Changed My Life."
Tracklist below.
Side A:
J Dilla – DeWitt To Do It
J Dilla – Smack A bi-ch
Side B:
Yancey Boys (Feat. Frank Nitt) – The Throwaway
J Dilla – Ruff & Rugged

Chicago Folklore Prize |
First awarded in 1904, the Chicago Folklore Prize, awarded to the author(s) of the best book-length work of folklore scholarship for the year, is the oldest international award recognizing excellence in folklore scholarship. Occasionally, a joint recipient is also selected. The prize is offered jointly by the American Folklore Society and the University of Chicago. From its inception, the administrators and judges for the prize have interpreted "folklore" in a broad and inclusive sense, and winners have traditionally come from the fields of folklore study, cultural studies, ethnomusicology, literary study, anthropology, sociology, cultural geography, and dance ethnology. The recent recipients of the prize provide a sense of the disciplinary range represented in the competition. We encourage entries from scholars in folklore and their publishers all over the world. Works submitted must be monographs published in the 15 months prior to the annual submission deadline of April 1. We
will not consider articles, dissertations, reissues of older works
(unless they have been substantially revised and rewritten), editions of
works by others, or works-in-progress for the prize. A cash
award is made to the winner or winners of the prize. If no entry is
deemed worthy, no prize will be awarded. The winner/s will be announced
at the Society's annual meeting in October or November each year. AFS accepts submissions of books in both hard-copy and electronic formats.
In all cases, submissions must arrive at the AFS office or inbox no later than the annual April 1 deadline. The publisher of a book available in hard copy that is selected as the Prize recipient must send AFS one additional hard copy upon request for our collection of Chicago Folklore Prize-receiving books.

Considering I have not changed the pillow in my living room since I made the Mr. Darcy Sentiment Pillow for Valentine's Day, Celebrate Color was just the push I needed to get to work. I needed something more fall-ish, but orange and red aren't quite right in my house, so I chose to take the "earthier" fall color route with tan and taupe and brown.
I saw the Botanika line from Paula Prass and knew the colors would be perfect in my home. I have a lot of neutrals and aquas. I bought several half yards of the fabric, hoping to find something great for a pillow focal point in the Wing Study fabric. I did. In the dead center of the cut. Ouch. It hurts to make a cut like that, but I reminded myself that I bought the fabric to do this. And it is a great fussy cut print, so I'll probably be cutting the rest of it up in similar fashion.
From there I added some of the other fabrics in the line and natural colored linen.
I added some pretty silk ribbons by stitching them down on the linen with a decorative stitch. Then I got to the fun part. Quilting and embroidering. I still feel like I need to pick up a few beads to sew on the little crown.
I used an invisible zipper, so the pillow reverses to Mod Lattice in Pastille (also Paula Prass' Botanika).
And I just have to show you my chair. A few years ago I had been drooling over a chair & ottoman set in Pottery Barn that had these box pleated skirts. I have a wonderful re-upholstery guy outside of Charlotte that my family has been using for years. I gave him a lot of taupe fabric, an old wing chair & mismatched ottoman and he did it perfectly (and touched up all the wood). Of course, two kids later, it could use an iron or steamer or something. Not sure how that works, and to be perfectly honest, will probably never ponder that point again. Some things are just good enough...
Okay, the crumpled curtain panels don't even look good enough for my low standards. Anyone have a steamer thing-y they like?

Taken Into Custody: The war against fathers, marriage, and the family Quantity in Basket: None Code: B13 Price: $24.95 Shipping Weight: 1.00 pounds Author: Stephen Baskerville Quantity: Taken Into Custody: The war against fathers, marriage, and the family. By Stephen Baskerville Why is the American family in crisis? Political scientist D. Stephen Baskerville argues that the most direct cause is the divorce industry itself: a corrupt government-run system that abuses parents and children, runs rampant over civil liberties, steals the wealth of families, and is accountable to no one. "This book is a tremendous and much-needed report on how Family Courts and government policies are harming children." --Phyllis Schlafly 365 Pages. Hard Cover

Eradication is the reduction of an infectious disease's prevalence in the global host population to zero.[1] It is sometimes confused with elimination, which describes either the reduction of an infectious disease's prevalence in a regional population to zero, or the reduction of the global prevalence to a negligible amount. Further confusion arises from the use of the term eradication to refer to the total removal of a given pathogen from an individual (also known as clearance of an infection), particularly in the context of HIV and certain other viruses where such cures are sought.
Selection of infectious diseases for eradication is based on rigorous criteria, as both biological and technical features determine whether a pathogenic organism is (at least potentially) eradicable. The targeted organism must not have a non-human reservoir (or, in the case of animal diseases, the infection reservoir must be an easily identifiable species, as in the case of rinderpest), and/or amplify in the environment. This implies that sufficient information on the life cycle and transmission dynamics is available at the time an eradication initiative is programmed. An efficient and practical intervention (e.g., a vaccine or antibiotic) must be available to interrupt transmission of the infective agent. Studies of measles in the pre-vaccination era led to the concept of the Critical community size, the size of the population below which a pathogen ceases to circulate.[2] Use of vaccination programmes before the introduction of an eradication campaign can reduce the susceptible population. The disease to be eradicated should be clearly identifiable, and an accurate diagnostic tool should exist. Economic considerations, as well as societal and political support and commitment, are other crucial factors that determine eradication feasibility.[3][4]
Eight attempts have been made to date to eradicate infectious diseases: two successful programs targeting smallpox and rinderpest; four ongoing programs targeting poliomyelitis, yaws, dracunculiasis and malaria; and two former programs targeting hookworm and yellow fever. Five more infectious diseases have been identified as of April 2008 as potentially eradicable with current technology by the Carter Center International Task Force for Disease Eradication—measles, mumps, rubella, lymphatic filariasis and cysticercosis.[5]
So far, two diseases have been successfully eradicated—one specifically affecting humans (smallpox), and one affecting a wide range of ruminants (rinderpest).
Smallpox was the first disease, and so far the only infectious disease of humans, to be eradicated by deliberate intervention.[6] It became the first disease for which there was an effective vaccine in 1798 when Edward Jenner showed the protective effect of inoculation (vaccination) of humans with material from cowpox lesions.[7]
Smallpox (variola) occurred in two clinical varieties: variola major, with a mortality rate of up to 40 percent and variola minor, also known as [6] However the stock stored by US and Russia is still a concern as any accidental or deliberate release could create a new epidemic for persons born after or in the late 1980's, as they would largely lack vaccination against the smallpox virus. In 1986, the World Health Organization first recommended destruction of the virus, and later set the date of destruction to be 30 December 1993. This was postponed to 30 June 1999. Due to resistance from the U.S. and Russia, in 2002 the World Health Assembly agreed to permit the temporary retention of the virus stocks for specific research purposes. Destroying existing stocks would reduce the risk involved with ongoing smallpox research; the stocks are not needed to respond to a smallpox outbreak. Some scientists have argued that the stocks may be useful in developing new vaccines, antiviral drugs, and diagnostic tests; however, a 2010 review by a team of public health experts appointed by the World Health Organization concluded that no essential public health purpose is served by the U.S. and Russia continuing to retain virus stocks.[85] The latter view is frequently supported in the scientific community, particularly among veterans of the WHO Smallpox Eradication Program. In March 2004 smallpox scabs were found tucked inside an envelope in a book on Civil War medicine in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The envelope was labeled as containing scabs from a vaccination and gave scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention an opportunity to study the history of smallpox vaccination in the U.S.
In July 2014 several vials of smallpox were discovered in an FDA laboratory at the National Institutes of Health location in Bethesda, Maryland.
During the 20th century, there were a series of campaigns to eradicate United Nations. On 14 October 2010, with no diagnoses for nine years, the FAO announced that the disease had been completely eradicated,[9] making this the first (and so far the only) disease of livestock to have been eradicated by human undertakings.

A dramatic reduction of the incidence of poliomyelitis in industrialized countries followed the development of a vaccine in the 1950s. In 1960, Czechoslovakia became the first country certified to have eliminated polio.
In 1988, the U.S. dollars per year.[17]
The following world regions have been declared polio-free:
- The Americas (1994)
- Indo-West Pacific region (1997)
- Europe (1998)
- Western Pacific region, including China (2000)
- Southeast Asia region (2014), including India[18]
The lowest annual polio prevalence seen so far was in 2012, with 223 reported cases. However, during the previous decade, following interruption of vaccination in Nigeria in 2003–4 and a reduction in immunisation in India in 2001–2, there was a resurgence of polio transmission: in 2001 there were 483 reported cases, but in the period of 2002 to 2010, the number of global reported cases remained between 750 and 2000 per year, with 1,349 cases in 2010. Some of these cases were the result of new importations in 31 countries which had previously interrupted transmission, leading to many subsequent outbreaks. Three further countries remain in which poliovirus transmission has never been interrupted (Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan).[19][20] India was removed from the WHO list of polio-endemic countries in 2012[21] after no new cases were reported for one year.[22] The 223 cases in 2012 were from 5 countries (122 in Nigeria; 58 in Pakistan; 37 in Afghanistan; 5 in Chad and 1 in Niger), compared to 650 cases from 16 countries for 2011.[23]

Dracunculiasis, also called guinea worm disease, is a painful and disabling parasitic disease caused by a worm, Dracunculus medinensis. It is spread through consumption of drinking water infested with copepods hosting Dracunculus larvae. The Carter Center has led the effort to eradicate the disease, along with the CDC, the WHO, UNICEF, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Unlike diseases such as smallpox and polio, there is no vaccine or drug therapy for guinea worm. Eradication efforts have been based on making drinking water supplies safer (e.g. by provision of borehole wells, or through treating the water with larvicide), on containment of infection and on education for safe drinking water practices. These strategies have produced many successes: two decades of eradication efforts have reduced guinea worm's global incidence to 148 cases in 2013, down from an estimated 3.5 million in 1986. Success has been slower than was hoped—the original goal for eradication was 1995. The WHO has certified 180 countries free of the disease, and only five countries — South Sudan, Mali, Ethiopia, Chad, and Sudan— reported cases of guinea worm in 2013. The disease is not endemic in Sudan. Seventy-six percent of all cases reported in 2013 were in South Sudan.[25][29][30] As of 2010, the WHO predicted it would be "a few years yet" before eradication is achieved, on the basis that it took 6–12 years for the countries that have so far eliminated guinea worm transmission to do so after reporting a similar number of cases to that reported by Sudan in 2009.[31] Up to the end of August 2014, cases have dropped 34% compared to the same period of 2013 with only South Sudan and Chad reporting more than 2 cases - 68 and 9 respectively. The last reported uncontained case outside of South Sudan and Chad was in October 2013.[32]
Yaws is a rarely fatal but highly disfiguring disease caused by the spiral-shaped bacterium (spirochete) Treponema pallidum pertenue, a relative of the syphilis bacteria Treponema pallidum pallidum, spread through skin to skin contact with infectious lesions. The global prevalence of this disease and the other endemic treponematoses, bejel and pinta, was reduced by the Global Control of Treponematoses (TCP) programme between 1952 and 1964 from about 50 million cases to about 2.5 million (a 95% reduction). However, following the cessation of this program these diseases remained at a low prevalence in parts of Asia, Africa and the Americas with sporadic outbreaks. According to the new official WHO roadmap, the elimination should be achieved by 2020.[33][34] Yaws is currently targeted by the South-East Asian Regional Office of the WHO for elimination from the remaining endemic countries in this region (India, Indonesia and East Timor) by 2010, and so far, this appears to have met with some success, since no cases have been seen in India since 2004.[35][36] The discovery that oral antibiotic azithromycin can be used instead of the previous standard, injected penicillin, is currently being field tested for a mass campaign.[37] The campaign was in an early stage in 2013, still gathering data on disease incidence and planning initial large-scale treatment campaigns in Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.[38]
Malaria elimination has already been achieved in most of Europe, North America, Australasia, North Africa and the Caribbean, and parts of South America, Asia and Southern Africa, according to the Malaria Elimination Group at UCSF.[39] The WHO defines elimination as having no domestic transmission for the past three years. They also define an "elimination stage" when a country is on the verge of eliminating malaria, as being <1 case per 1000 people at risk per year. According to the 2011 WHO World Malaria Report, 28 countries are certified as having eliminated malaria. Eight countries appear to be malaria free but steps still need to be taken to ensure they do not re-establish transmission. Nine countries are in the elimination stage and eight the pre-elimination stage (<5 cases per 1000 people at risk per year).[40] The WHO also reports in 2010 malaria killed approximately 655,000 people—a reduction of approximately 36,000 from 2009.
At the [44] In November 2013, WHO and the malaria vaccine funders group set a goal to develop vaccines designed to interrupt malaria transmission with the long-term goal of malaria eradication.[45]
Regional elimination established or under way
Some diseases have already been eliminated from large regions of the world, and/or are currently being targeted for regional elimination. This is sometimes described as "eradication", although technically the term only applies when this is achieved on a global scale.[46] Even after regional elimination is successful, interventions often need to continue to prevent a disease becoming re-established. Three of the diseases here listed (lymphatic filariasis, measles, and rubella) are among the diseases believed to be potentially eradicable by the International Task Force for Disease Eradication, and if successful, regional elimination programs may yet prove a stepping stone to later global eradication programs.
This section does not cover elimination where it is used to mean control programs sufficiently tight to reduce the burden of an infectious disease or other health problem to a level where they may be deemed to have little impact on public health, such as the leprosy, neonatal tetanus, or obstetric fistula campaigns.
In North American countries, such as the United States, elimination of hookworm had been attained due to scientific advances. The Rockefeller Foundation's hookworm campaign in the 1920s was supposed to focus on the eradication of hookworm infections for those living in Mexico and other rural areas. However, the campaign was politically influenced, causing it to be less successful, and regions such as Mexico still deal with these infections from parasitic worms. This use of health campaigns by political leaders for political and economic advantages has been termed the science-politics paradox.[47]
Lymphatic filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis is an infection of the lymph system by mosquito-borne microfilarial worms which can cause elephantiasis. Studies have demonstrated that transmission of the infection can be broken when a single dose of combined oral medicines is consistently maintained annually for approximately seven years.[48] The strategy for eliminating transmission of lymphatic filariasis is mass distribution of medicines that kill the microfilariae and stop transmission of the parasite by mosquitoes in endemic communities.[48] In sub-Saharan Africa, albendazole is being used with ivermectin to treat the disease, whereas elsewhere in the world albendazole is used with diethylcarbamazine.[49] Using a combination of treatments better reduces the number of microfilariae in blood.[48] Avoiding mosquito bites, such as by using insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets, also reduces the transmission of lymphatic filariasis.[48][50] In the Americas, >90% of the burden of lymphatic filariasis is on the island of Hispaniola (comprising Haiti and the Dominican Republic). An elimination effort to address this is currently under way alongside the malaria effort described above; the Dominican Republic expects to eliminate its seven remaining foci by 2010, but lymphatic filariasis is still endemic to 110 of 140 communes in Haiti.[51]
As of October 2008, the efforts of the Global Programme to Eliminate LF are estimated to have already prevented 6.6 million new filariasis cases from developing in children, and to have stopped the progression of the disease in another 9.5 million people who have already contracted it. Overall, of 83 endemic countries, mass treatment has been rolled out in 48, and elimination of transmission reportedly achieved in 21.[52]
Five out of six WHO regions have goals to eliminate measles, and at the 63rd World Health Assembly in May 2010, delegates agreed to move towards eventual eradication, although no specific global target date has yet been agreed.[53][54][55] The Americas set a goal in 1994 to eliminate measles and rubella transmission by 2000, and successfully achieved regional measles elimination in 2002, although there have been occasional small outbreaks from imported cases since then.[56] Europe had set a goal to eliminate measles transmission by 2010, but were hindered by the MMR vaccine controversy and by low uptake in certain groups, and despite achieving low levels by 2008, European countries have since experienced a small resurgence in cases. They have set a new target of 2015.[57] The Eastern Mediterranean also had goals to eliminate measles by 2010 (later revised to 2015), the Western Pacific aims to eliminate the disease by 2012, and in 2009 the regional committee for Africa agreed a goal of measles elimination by 2020. As of May 2010, only the South-East Asian region has yet to set a target date for elimination of measles transmission.[53]
In 2005, a global target was agreed for a 90% reduction in measles deaths by 2010 from the 757,000 deaths in 2000; estimates for 2008 show a 78% decline so far to 164,000 deaths.[58] However, some have been pushing to attempt global eradication.[59] This was updated at the 2010 World Health Assembly to a targeted 95% reduction in mortality by 2015, alongside specific vaccination and structural targets,[53][54] and in a meeting in November 2010, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization "concluded that measles can and should be eradicated".[60] A study of the costs of eradicating measles compared to the costs of maintaining indefinite control was commissioned in 2009 by the WHO and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.[61]
As of mid 2013, measles elimination in many areas is stalling. "This year, measles and rubella outbreaks are occurring in many areas of the world where people have no immunity to these viruses. The reasons people are unvaccinated range from lack of access to vaccines in areas of insecurity, to poor performing health systems, to vaccine refusals. We need to address each of these challenges if we're going to meet global measles and rubella elimination goals," said Dr. Myrna Charles of the American Red Cross, as reported in a post in the Measles and Rubella Initiative's blog.[62] A look at the WHO's epidemiological graph of measles over time from 2008-2013 show that, with little more of two years to go to 2015, measles cases in 2013 are moving in the wrong direction, with more cases this year than at the same point in 2012 or 2011.[63]
Two WHO regions have set 2010 as a target for rubella elimination. The WHO region of the Americas set itself a target for regional elimination of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome by 2010. As of 2010, the last confirmed endemic case of rubella in the Americas was in Argentina in February 2009[64] and verification of regional elimination is currently under way and due to complete by 2012.[65] The WHO European region also set a target of 2010.[66] However, as of 2008 there were still 20,579 reported cases of rubella, 311 of which were laboratory confirmed, just among the 27 countries reporting data to EUVAC.[67]
Onchocerciasis (river blindness) is the world's second leading cause of infectious blindness. It is caused by the nematode Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted to people via the bite of a black fly. Elimination of this disease is under way in the region of the Americas, where this disease is endemic to Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Venezuela. The principal tool being used is mass ivermectin treatment. If successful, the only remaining endemic locations would be in Africa and Yemen.[68] In Africa, it is estimated that greater than 102 million people in 19 countries are at high risk of onchocerciasis infection, and in 2008, 56.7 million people in 15 of these countries received community-directed treatment with ivermectin. Since adopting such treatment measures in 1997, the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control reports a reduction in the prevalence of onchocerciasis in the countries under its mandate from a pre-intervention level of 46.5% in 1995 to 28.5% in 2008.[69] Some African countries, such as Uganda,[70] are also attempting elimination and successful elimination was reported in 2009 from two endemic foci in Mali and Senegal.[71]
On July 29, 2013, the Colombia had become the first country in the world to eliminate the parasitic disease onchocerciasi.[72]
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and new variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD)
Following an epidemic of vCJD in the UK in the 1990s, there have been campaigns to eliminate BSE in cattle across the EU and beyond which appear to have achieved large reductions in the number of cattle with this disease.[73] Cases of vCJD have also fallen since then, for instance from an annual peak in the UK of 28 cases in 2000 to five cases in 2011 and zero in 2012.[74]
Following the ongoing eradication effort, only 22 cases of BSE were reported worldwide in 2011, the fewest since at least 1988.[75][76]
Other eradicable diseases
As far as animal diseases are concerned, now that rinderpest has been stamped out, many experts believe peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is the next disease amenable to global eradication. Also known as goat plague or ovine rinderpest, PPR is a highly contagious viral disease of goats and sheep characterized by fever, painful sores in the mouth, tongue and feet, diarrhoea, pneumonia and death, especially in young animals. It is caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus that is related to rinderpest, measles and canine distemper.[77]
In fiction
Futures and futuristic alien civilizations in which some or all infectious diseases have been eradicated are a staple of science fiction. Examples include:
The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, in which the Martians have long eradicated their own infectious diseases, leaving them vulnerable to Earth pathogens following the atrophy of their natural defences.
The Evitable Conflict, by Isaac Asimov, describes a future run by Machines in the manner which they see as most conducive to man's best interests, in which "we have eradicated the anopheles mosquito and the tsetse fly".

text: Speed Was Not A Factor In Michael Schumacher's Ski AccidentTravis Okulski1/08/14 4:30pmFiled to: Michael SchumacherF1MotorsportsSkiing74EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkNormally, when there's an accident and investigators say "speed was a factor," we roll our eyes. Of course going 130 in a 35 was a factor. But in the case of Michael Schumacher's ski accident, speed has not been blamed for the crash that has the seven time F1 world champion in an induced coma.In Schumacher's case, it seems that speed was not a major factor in the crash that resulted in life threatening injuries. Instead, it appears that it was a perfect storm of circumstances that led to his fall and subsequent crash against a rock.AdvertisementAdvertisementInvestigators said that he wasn't very far off the trail, maybe just a few hundred yards, when the incident occurred. They also doubt that there was a bystander that took video, as has been rumored.I heard people talk about a film that was taken by a witness, but we have not received anything from this person. Personally, I doubt that really it exists.Schumacher is still in the hospital in Grenoble, in critical but stable condition in an induced coma.Photo Credit: Getty ImagesReply74 repliesLeave a reply

About the song
This is one of those pieces which has developed gradually as a warm-up or part of my flow of 'background playing' - the sort of guitar instrumental I'll play behind a social gathering, or people dining. It can be strengthened up and made into more of a solo to perform, if needed, especially when tackled on steel string guitar. The second half of this is there mainly because one of my restaurant venues likes jazz rather than celtic, and prefers this sort of improvisation!

Hellickson vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 8:05., YES Network/ESPN
WEATHER: The rain has subsided a bit, but it's chilly and wet. The delayed start looks like a good call right now, but the forecast calls for thunder storms later.
UMPIRES: HP Brian Knight, 1B Fieldin Culbreth, 2B John Hirschbeck, 3B Wally Bell
CLINCH TWICE IN ONE DAY?: After clinching a postseason berth with their 4-2 win earlier today, the Yankees can lock up the AL East with a win and a Boston loss.
EIGHT IN NINE: Even with the expanded rosters, the Yankees bullpen will be short-handed in the second game of a doubleheader tonight. For just the second time in franchise history, the Yankees used eight pitchers in a nine-inning game. The only other time was in a 17-9 loss to Baltimore on 09/27/05.
WINS KEEP COMING: The Yanks are in the midst of a brutal stretch of 33 games over the final 32 days of the season. Still, they've managed to continue their winning ways. They have a 16-9 record in those games up to this point.
UPDATE, 8:07PM: First pitch. We have baseball. Delay of one hour and two minutes.
UPDATE, 8:11PM: Cano and Nunez pull off the nifty 4-6-3 double play to end the inning.
UPDATE, 8:34PM: CC is up to his usual tricks, working in and out of trouble early and often. After a bizarre error from Cano and a single from Sean Rodriguez, the big man gets Guyer swinging to strand runners on 2nd and 3rd. 0-0 after 1 1/2.
UPDATE, 8:39PM: MVP? Cano crushes his 27th homer into the right field field bleachers on a 2-1 offering from Hellickson. It's 1-0 Yanks.
UPDATE, 8:52PM: Boston has a 4-2 lead on the Orioles in the top of the 6th.
UPDATE, 9:10PM: I've got to say, Nunez has looked pretty clean in the field today. Some of his teammates talked about the extra work he's been putting in between games. CC is at 67 pitches after four innings. That puts him on pace to get through the seventh, where hypothetically Girardi could go then go to Rafael Soriano and Dave Robertson to close it out.
UPDATE, 9:15PM: A Mark Reynolds HR ties the Orioles with the Red Sox at 4-4 in the top of the seventh. Interesting…
UPDATE, 9:18PM: An intentional walk to Cano with runners on the corners proves to be a wise move. Montero comes up with the bases loaded and no outs, and grounds into a double play. Granderson scores, but I'm sure Joe Maddon will take one run after what looked like a potential messy situation. It's 2-0 Yanks.
UPDATE, 9:29PM: Shoppach's solo shot brings Rays within one, 2-1.
UPDATE, 9:39PM: Baltimore takes a 6-4 lead over Boston in the eighth on a two-run single from Vladimir Guerrero. It's looking more and more likely that the Yanks will clinch the division tonight.
UPDATE, 9:46PM: CC gets through six on 87 pitches. Looks like he should give the Yanks at least seven innings, making Girardi's job that much easier.
UPDATE, 10:00PM: Sean Rodriguez takes a 2-1 pitch from Sabathia and crushes it off the top of the left field foul pole to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh. Hold off on that champagne for now…
UPDATE, 10:10PM: The Red Sox game just went final, a 6-4 loss. That means a Yankee win clinches the AL East.
UPDATE, 10:12PM: CC back out for the eighth, with Andrew Brackman and Dellin Betances warming in the pen. Not the arms you expected to see up at this point.
UPDATE, 10:20PM: Hard hit ball back up the middle from Upton is deflected by CC, but Chavez's throw to first isn't on time. Runners on 1st and 2nd with one out. CC is at 119 pitches, but Girardi is leaving him in there to face Longoria. Big moment here.
UPDATE, 10:25PM: After CC walks Longoria, Dave Robertson comes in with the bases loaded and one out. Houdini gets it done again, inducing the 4-6-3 double play from Zobrist to end the inning unscathed. It's still 2-2 after the biggest two outs of the game.
UPDATE, 10:34PM: Swisher pinch-hitting for Gardner with one out in the eighth.
UPDATE, 10:37PM: And Swisher gets it done with a double in the left-center field gap. Here comes the Grandy man.
UPDATE, 10:43PM: After Granderson flies out to RF, Maddon is bringing in RHP Juan Cruz to face Teixeira, which is the move he had to make to move Tex over to the left side. He's hitting just .222 as a lefty this season.
UPDATE, 10:49PM: Tex walks, and Maddon goes to another lefty to face Cano. This time it's Cesar Ramos.
UPDATE, 10:54PM: A lot going on here. After they go to a 3-2 count on Cano, Maddon decides to put him on. He brings in Brandon Gomes to face Montero, and Girardi counters by pinch-hitting Posada. I have to admit, I didn't like the move at first, but it paid off. Posada comes through with the two-out, two-run single. It's 4-2 Yanks.
UPDATE, 10:58PM: Interesting decision by Girardi to go to Soriano in the 9th after Robertson threw just one pitch.

Saving Sacred Lakota Lands
An amazing IDEA took hold in the last few weeks. People from around the world decided that they could do something to right a terrible wrong that has existed for hundreds of years here in the United States.No one possessed the millions of dollars it would take to accomplish this, but 4,991 people offered pennies, dollars, Euros, and when they had nothing, took the time to write to the "Last Real Indians" with their prayers. And prayer can be uplifting, inspiring, and the source of miracles. There just might be a miracle happening in the sacred lands of the Black Hills in South Dakota, where the Sioux Nation is fighting to save its most sacred site, the genesis of all of its creation stories, Pe'Sla
The auction scheduled for August 25, 2012, for the acreage called Reynold's Prairie, also known as Pe'Sla to the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation), has been cancelled on direction of the owners' representative, according to Brock Auction, Co., Inc: http://www.brockauction.com/upcoming.htm
The owners are not commenting as to why the auction has been cancelled. At this time, Lastrealindians, Inc. is consulting with Oceti Sakowin Tribes and attempting to find out more information.
Updates forthcoming.

Gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1849, and General George Armstrong Custer led an exploration party there in 1874. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 gave the Sioux land and protection from the encroachment of settlers. It was their land to begin with, but this is the sad history of indigenous people. The treaty was immediately broken when payment of reparations by Congress was reduced a year after the signing. A new treaty was offered in 1868 after Chief Red Cloud attacked a supply train using the Powder River road, but Red Cloud objected to restrictions on native hunting grounds.
In 1877, the United States took away all of the land originally granted by treaty, established reservations, and allowed the government to put roads through the reservations for settlers to use in the gold rush. A hundred years later, a 1980 U.S. Supreme Court ruling awarded more than $100 million to the Sioux Nation for the Black Hills. Since the land was taken by force, the tribes will not accept the money. They maintain that it was never for sale and that they will never sell it.
This Saturday August 25, 1,942.66 acres of the Black Hills, sold in five tracts of land, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Leonard and Margaret Reynolds own the land. If sold, it is highly likely that Pe' Sla will be opened up for development, with the State of South Dakota building a road directly through it. The Reynolds have been commended by the Lakota for consistently giving access to the sacred sites and for preserving the land during their time of stewardship.
Two weeks ago, the sale of Pe'Sla seemed inevitable, but 4,991 people on the fundraising site and 2,100 people on Facebook are saying "no," that this sale is not morally or spiritually correct. Good people from around the world are standing up and saying that the robbery of native sacred land must stop. The moral line has been drawn in the sand because of the IDEA that good people can stop this and return the land to the Lakota.
Sara Jumping Eagle, a pediatrician and member of Lastrealindians, wrote about the importance of the public campaign to raise $1,000,000. The total now stands at $234,000. Some of that was raised on reservations. The Turns Around Wacipi (pow-wow) Blanket Dance held at the home of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes in Poplar, Montana, raised $150–money from the poorest of the poor, trying to buy back what was stolen from them.
Our Pe' Sla Campaign team goal of $1 million is intended to supplement the contributions of the 7 Council Fires of the Great Sioux Nation. Yet, we also know that most of the bands of the Great Sioux Nation are made up of communities that are currently living in the poorest counties in the nation. What if your church was for sale? What if Bethlehem or Jerusalem or your Mosque was threatened by destruction or an auction? What would you do? Help us save our sacred lands!! Pe' Sla! The Center – The Heart of All That Is!
The Wakpala of South Dakota, on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, raised $300.03 with a blanket dance during their traditional Wakpala Wacipi. "The elders in the community, the Uncis and Lalas (Grandmas and Grandpas) were brought to tears to see their children and grandchildren working to get our sacred lands back," reports Chase Iron Eyes of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
International media is beginning to pick up on this story. You can read about it in the Guardian, the Associated Press, and on CBS and ABC news. In addition, the Lakota have gained a powerful ally in the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), which issued a statement from Genevayesterday.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, James Anaya, urged the United States Government and the local and state authorities in South Dakota to address concerns expressed by the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota peoples about the pending sale of Pe' Sla.
"The views and concerns of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota peoples need to be considered regarding any private or government activity that would affect their right to continue to maintain their traditional cultural and ceremonial practices associated with Pe' Sla," Anaya stressed. Anaya is a Regents Professor and the James J. Lenoir Professor of Human Rights Law and Policy at the University of Arizona. As Special Rapporteur, he is independent from any government or organization.
After much consideration, Rosebud Sioux Tribe has now allocated $1.3 million. Chase Iron Eyes says, "While this is exciting and makes us as a team hopeful, the possible purchase price of all 2000 acres of Pe' Sla available for purchase is possibly $6 to $10 million dollars."
Still, this puts the Lakota in the position of buying back their own land, and there is something about it that does not feel right. Worse, is the thought of the children of the poorest of the poor raising pennies by blanket dances at pow wows. It is admirable and inspiring, but one cannot feel happy that those from whom we have taken so much have to sacrifice all that they have to remain connected to their creation stories. Their stories are all that they have. How can you purchase a story that is so connected to the land? White culture cannot resonate with this association between self and the landscape.
Winona La Duke, native activist and scholar, writes about the irony of the reclamation of sacred lands in "Recovering the Sacred."
At stake is nothing less than the ecological integrity of the land base and the physical and social health of Native Americans throughout the continent. In the end there is no absence of irony: the integrity of what is sacred to native Americans will be determined by the government that has been responsible for doing everything in its power to destroy Native American cultures.
How would the Lakota "feel" if Pe'Sla were destroyed?
"It would be a pain that it is difficult to describe." Sara Jumping Eagle says. "It would only be comparable to another Wounded Knee Massacre, or to having one of my relatives killed in front of me. When we say 'Mitakuye Oyasin,' it is a prayer and it is a way of life."For Sara Jumping Eagle and other Lakota, Pe' Sla is their relative and should be treated as such.
When one looks at the NASA photo of the Black Hills from space, it does look like a heart. The people say this is the eagle's point of view, the Heart of All That Is; the source of lifeblood for the tribes.

Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Some people tell me I should feel really bad about the things I have to say regarding: women. I should be more sensitive. I should acknowledge more readily the good things women do and the bad things men do.
And then it occurs to me…
…about the most wonderful thing I've ever written about men, is that our attributes — not the historical specimens who have represented those attributes, so much — have given people in general just about everything, today, that they value, and that do them good. We have been helped, not so much by men, but by manly things…and we run into trouble when we try to get rid of those manly things.
And just about the most ugly thing I've ever written about women is that some among them — not all among them, not most among them, but just some — completely fail to see anything worthwhile about men, and set out in a misguided, destructive, and utterly, utterly, doomed mission to eradicate manhood and all aptitudes associated with it. For no higher ideal than raw, naked jealousy.
In other words, I would be hard pressed to go over my archives and find something I've jotted down that says "all men do this" or "all women do that." Nor do I think there's anything in there that says "everybody who does this is a guy" and "everyone who does that is female." I don't think anybody else would be able to pull that out of my writings either. These seem like terribly irresponsible things to scribble out, whether others could see it or not. Easily refuted things. So when people behave as if I've written something like that, I don't know what it is they've read. Not anything I've written, I daresay.
I think we've been programmed. Someone says something good about character traits that are masculine in nature, the knee-jerk response is "you say all men do this" or "you say all women do that" — so the responder can more easily refute…that which was not actually said.
And there are certain people, men and women, who parade their gender identities for destructive reasons. Men hiding their manhood…to try to hop on some sick bandwagon. Women showing off how poorly they get along with men…to get such a bandwagon going. The male-female partnership that you and I might have seen upheld and defended by our parents, or perhaps our grandparents, seems headed toward consignment to the ash heap of history. Or, at least, we seem to have lots of loud people in our midst, ready to channel large sums of energy and effort into an attempt to so consign.
Via Cas…I give you Margaret Cho:
Ladies, I'm sorry, there's just no delicate way to ask this.
What in the blue fuck is the matter with some of you? Do you understand that some among you have learned to live, productively, with some of us men…and therefore, those among you who have not — let's call you the "Margaret Cho Types" — should therefore shut up?
Because otherwise, if those among you who don't understand how to live with men and will probably never understand how to live with men…are allowed to talk over the more mature types, who appreciate us for what we have to offer, and learn to live with us…it is a blight on all of womanhood.
Deep down, I think you all know this.
Why don't you then just zip it shut and go away? For the benefit of the Sisterhood. Showcase those among you who have achieved maturity, and can appreciate a true symbiotic relationship across gender lines. Give the rest of us at least the appearance that you have what it takes to get along with us.
It's not asking too much. At least, that's the way it seems to me…
That was Margaret's venting after the break-up stint. She sounds like she was bitter about the ending of the relationship and wanted to exaggerate the disappointment. Notice how she used stereotypical things to compare as 'payment' sexual activity. Opening jars, taking out the garbage, etc. It sounds like she wanted to get married and he didn't want to. She felt unappreciated. Her style seems to have changed, too.
I remember seeing photos of her in metro sexual style in the past. It was almost her trademark. Now, she appears more girly, like she wants to be seen as a woman. Getting out of a bad relationship, wanting to get married and have a baby, and using the comedy forum as a place to vent. People were laughing because they felt for her and have been there at one time or another. This is Margaret laughing at her pain, so I would take this isolated performance as a reflex for just "some" women. There's nothing wrong with her at all, she's just being human and vulnerable.
- petrita1 | 05/25/2008 @ 14:19I agree with your observations. It's still sick as hell.
This is why I hate comedy so much lately. It works by "bonding" between the comedienne, vis a vis her illustration of herself at the time the story took place, and the audience members who shared a similar situation in the past.
The thing is, though, that kind of "bonding" can take place between shared experiences in which the protagonists act more rationally, and in better cooperation with others. But of course — if that were the case, it wouldn't be funny anymore. So if it's comedy, Cho is practically forced to portray herself acting in a manner that is 1) self-destructive, 2) illogically, and 3) with real antipathy toward others.
I'm partially sympathetic to this because I get pretty ticked when people pace around in high traffic areas with cell phone in hand, and if a comedian/ienne wants to poke some fun at my homicidal urges in the same way, I'll freely admit I'd probably laugh my ass off. But that's still a little different isn't it? I've never wanted to eat a baby.
- mkfreeberg | 05/25/2008 @ 15:04True, but neither has she. Toward the end, she mentioned the possibility of adoption, like she still might want children. I couldn't sit through a whole Margaret Cho monologue, and she isn't nearly as funny as a lot of other female comedians out there, I was just giving my take on where all that weirdness was coming from. The last thing I want to do is analyze a comedian. I buy tickets to be entertained. 🙂
- petrita1 | 05/25/2008 @ 18:41Just an aside, not necessarily for public view: I posted the exact same comment on Cassy's blog and she either chose not to post it, or deleted it. I saw it post, then it disappeared. Why would she be offended?
- petrita1 | 05/25/2008 @ 18:44Well the way we do it here, your comment has to be approved if you're posting for the first time. Once I approve what you said, you're "in" and your subsequent comments go up immediately.
For reasons I don't entirely understand, this does not work for you.
I see this from time to time with people who post at home, and then go to work and do it again from there. I suspect WordPress wants your IP to match up with whatever you used last time, or else it treats you as a potential spammer. It makes sense in this situation because Cassy's on WordPress too.
- mkfreeberg | 05/25/2008 @ 18:59Cho,
Yet another faux-female keeping the C-word alive in the 21st century.
If you think she's sick, what's with the audience that's paying money? Especially for the men who are chortling along.
Makes me long for the old Stallone Cobra… "You're the disease and I'm the cure."

Weblog: | OSCON 3.3: Current State of the Linux Kernel | |
Subject: | Linux vs. NetBSD - a few questions | |
Date: | 2005-08-07 11:17:17 | |
From: | Geoff_Broadwell | |
Response to: Linux vs. NetBSD - a few questions
I was actually (closely) paraphrasing what Greg KH had said. Whenever in the past I had pointed out how extremely portable Linux is, someone always told me "Well, NetBSD is moreso." This has long given me a great deal of respect for the NetBSD folks (which I still have). It was interesting to hear someone deep in the know say that Linux has actually managed to surpass NetBSD, and when.

^ my brows are black and i used to lighten & dye them when i was a blonde. if you don't leave a creme bleach(like Jolen - you can buy at Walgreens or various drugstores) on your brows long enough, it'll probably lift a reddish brown which works nicely if you are going red
whenever your roots grow out, just apply the bleach only to the roots of your brows and not the entire brow because you can get two different red tones going. i have a few different posts about changing brow color in The Eyebrow Thread Last edited by kissablekae; 16-07-2011 at 06:44 AM. |

FIFA World Club Championship is the club tournament for all confederations.
The second of the tournament will be played in Spain during the summer of 2001. This edition will have 12 clubs. Five confederations - AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and UEFA - will be represented by two clubs and one confederation - OFC - by one club.

The book publicity blurb is one of the most straightforward sources of nepotism. If they're not from the author's friends, they are often delivered by writers with the same agent.
Most of the time, publishers can be pretty sure that the public, uninterested by the incestuous literary sphere, is completely unaware of who's chummy with whom. In the case of Charlie Brooks' new novel Switch, however, the friendships between the author and his blurbers are rather more publicly known. Brooks, husband of Rebekah Brooks (née Wade), is a bastion of the Chipping Norton Set. He's also due in court with his wife on 26 September, a fortnight after his thriller's publication. So who should be providing the puffs, but his fellow Chipping Norton Settees: Jeremy Clarkson, who calls it "a turbo-charged race to the finish", and Alex James, who claims he "couldn't put it down"?
Switch "introduces" Brooks's hero, MI6 spook Max Ward, whose "carefully ordered world is turned upside-down" by "a faceless puppet-master". Brooks dedicates the book "To Rebekah – the best wife in the world – who inspires me with her sense of decency, her clarity of thought and her integrity." By coincidence, Switch is published by an imprint of HarperCollins, which happens to be a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, of which Mrs Brooks is an ex-employee. I wouldn't be surprised if this is all reverse marketing psychology. The publishers predicting that potential readers, fascinated by press coverage of the puffery, will pick up the book at the airport. In which case, HarperCollins might consider this column a triumph. Might David Cameron be persuaded to provide a quote for the second edition?

Runco used the Home Entertainment Expo here to officially unveil the first two projectors under its new Vidikron sales and marketing group.
Both models are compact front projectors based on Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology.
The entry Vision Model 20 ($5,495 suggested retail price) is based on a new TI chip, which offers the same 12-degree micro mirror tilt angle as the popular HD-2 Mustang chip but with a lower 1,024 by 576 pixel resolution. Brightness is listed at 850 ANSI lumens while contrast is said to be 1,500:1.
The step-up Vision Model 40 ($8,995 suggested) is based on TI's HD-2 Mustang chip that yields a full 1,280 by 720 pixel HDTV resolution level. Brightness is listed at 950 ANSI lumens while contrast is said to be 1,600:1.
Both models are slated to ship to retailers in July and will employ the Runco/ Vidikron Cat's Eye optical system for enhanced contrast and black levels, 9-point white balance system, discrete IR and RS-232 controls, DVI-HDCP input and multiple aspect ratios with "IntelliWide Mode."
Ben Jamison, Runco/Vidikron sales and marketing VP, restated Runco's policy on Vidikron is to establish distinct marketing and distribution practices from Runco lines. (See TWICE, May 19, p. 25).
Vidikron sales will be directed at custom installers and A/V specialists that have been unable in the past to qualify for Runco products. No dealers will be authorized to carry both lines.
Vidikron products are to be directed at somewhat broader distribution channels and are designed for placement in general living rooms and family rooms, rather than extensive dedicated upscale home theaters.
As a result, cabinet colors on the models 20 and 40 are muted whites and grays that will blend in with typical ceiling and wall colors of day-to-day lifestyle environments.
Vidikron will look to fill out the line with additional products, including flat-panel displays, over the balance of the year.
