- [ Werner Erhard said:] I got a lot of benefit from auditing. It was the fastest and deepest way to handle situations that I had yet encountered. I immediately wanted to learn to do it. ... With Scientology, I was able to characterize the Mind more accurately, and to cease justifying it. This greatly clarified what I was doing. ... After my experience with Scientology, I saw what it means to see the Mind as a machine. I can now operate my Mind accordingly, with exactitude. I can do the familiar mind over matter experiments - the control of pain and bleeding, telepathy, those things.

- Some spiritual management trainings, aiming at the self-actualisation—or rather self-realisation—in the corporate world, have advocated a rather authoritarian treatment of their trainees. A well-known example is Landmark Education International, Inc., a management-oriented derivate of Werner Erhard's famous seminars called est (an acronym for Erhard Seminars Training) developed in the 1970s. Participants of Erhard's seminars were typically treated as follows [...] In an article of the German management magazine Wirtschaftswoche, Landmark was indeed accused of 'brainwashing' [...] The trainings of Landmark, Block Training and UP Hans Schuster und Partner thus display strong similarities with the self-improvement seminars of Scientology, which are incidentally called 'auditing sessions', a term taken from the business world.

Eleuthera Summer Vacation
Just back. Here's the short version.
Had a great family vacation. New diggs this year in N. Palmetto Point on the ocean. Great swimming and snorkling location. 10 sunny days with temps 85-90 and a pretty good breeze most days. Water temps 82-86 F. Fishing: new location this year. Fished 2 hours at Ten Bay(no bones w/ hot bath like water) and 6 times at Savanna Sound. Fished SS for 3-4 hours each time. Last of the drop and first of the flood. Had the place to myself. Only on the last day did I see another flyfisher. Had one skunk day (very windy) and one banner day of 12 bones. Averaged 6 fish per outing. No monsters... but all nice 4-6 lb fish. Saw some truely large fish tailing but didn't get good shots at them. It was windy most of the trip and I was not doing well seeing the fish on the flats. My son caught some nice bones w/ the spinning rod on a swedish pimple and bonito lures. He blindcasted at drop offs and channels. But here is the neat thing. I started fishing bones like I would fish Stripers at Monomoy. I found a place where the water was channeled on the flood and drop. The bones would stack up there and were very aggressive. They were NOT spooky at all. But I did do some very aggressive wading to get to this location and it was only fishable for a few hours each side of low. If I lost track of time.... it was a chest deep wade off the flat back to shore. and there were more than a few large sharks around! I caught these fish drifting crab and shrimp patterns with the current (like trout fishing). I also did well blind casting, where I knew they were stacked up, with small clousers and baitfish patterns. The coolest part was that these fish were hanging in the current and moving around the flat like a trout or salmon in a river. They were not spooky and swam very close to where I was standing. I had some fish take within 10 feet of me. Great Visual! Here's my thoughts about Savannah Sound: ...Beautiful place to fish ...Fish are not pressured in Summer. From other accounts, it seems it is much different in the Spring. ...Fish are in coolest water on Ocean Side ...If one is willing to wade deep and take a risk at a likely spot, it paid off in spades. I think I got very lucky in stumbling on the spot I fished. I'm not a veteren Bonefisher... but was able to apply what I do know about fishing to other species on the flats. I'll try to post some pics in the coming days. Now to catch up at work and try to get out and fish those Tuna you all have been hammering! |

Great report, please share some pics
Did you get a chance to shoot any pictures at the close-coming bones? I can imagine its a great scenario...
Is the world flat? longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE! |
Jim, great report! Has me wanting to go now.
I take it you enjoyed your house and beach? Did you see any permit while there? What about tarpon?

Hey Vince
We really enjoyed Tropical Impulse.... great house and location. Probably the best beach in that stretch. When I wasn't fishing... I was in the water swimming & snorkeling.... just a perfect situation. Did not see any Tarpon or Permit. But I'm not sure if I was looking in the right places. Did see Turtles at the beach and at Savannah Sound. And some good sized grouper in the coral heads. Saw a few bones on the beach where you told me to look. Saw lots of big ass spiders at the house as well as a scorpion visitor to our bath room. Didn't know my wife could become so unravelled.... Send me a e-mail sometime and I'll fill you in on my explorations. |
Great report Jim. Looking forward to the pics.
Sean |
Hopefully I'll have a few nice shots of fish caught.
Trying to get the pics from my son's friend, who went with us and took some shots on the flats. I didn't risk taking my nikon out there. Sean, please drop me a line when the tunoid fishing picks up in RI. I'm poised and ready to trailer the boat out. |

I know that one in four of us women reading have had one or more abortions; I wanted us to be reminded that, no matter what we have done, we are loved by a Father who gives us a grace covering all sins. The world calls abortion a choice, a reproductive right, a freedom, but after this choice I experienced nothing but the knowledge that my right had been wrong; my so-called freedom resulted in nothing less than the chains of depression and the bonds of suicide. God found me in the midst of my shame. He gave me His grace after my choice.

Praying that God will use your boldness in sharing to help heal others -- and to show them the grace of our Lord! God bless! ~SallyOh wow Leslie, thank you so much for sharing this, for baring your soul, heartache and life choices so others can be healed. Hugs friend! Thank you for letting God's light shine through you and this blog.
I applaud your strength to share your story with us. So many of us hold these "ideals" without a true understanding of ourselves or others. I will continue to follow your blog, as your strength and openness should be an inspiration to us all. We all make choices that we are not proud of, some small, some much more life changing. I am anxious to read the 2nd and 3rd parts to your story, to experience your past with you...to make that journey along side your memories. God Bless.Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your honesty. I look forward to reading the rest and seeing God's redeeming love in action.
I hope the courage and honesty to share your story, will help others faced with that choice, make theirs. (((HUGS)))Oh, God bless you, Leslie. It cannot be easy to write about this. I hope He uses you to help others in our troubled world. Susan
ReplyDeleteThis is a very brave thing for you to share but also, a very important thing. Bless you for being so open!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave and strong to share this with us. We support you and hope that your story can help other girls. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteDearest Leslie, praying for you as you bravely share how God's grace carried you, after your choice. The truth shall set you free. And the truth will set others free as you share in honesty. I can only imagine that more readers will follow your wisdom filled, graceful blog. God has given you much, blessed you with wisdom that women of our time need. Love you so much friend! Hugs! Holding your hand in my heart as you take this journey back in time, right by your side!
ReplyDeleteLeslie what a brave hard thing to share. One thing I so love about God is how he can redeem our horrible mistakes. He can take our bad choices & use them for good when we allow Him to. I will be praying for you as you share this story & praying for the people who read it. God not only gives unlimited grace but he gives redemption as well. You may never know how your story redeems someone else but I pray that you'll be blessed way beyond the pain you've endured in living & now sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWow. I pray this touches many hearts. And I know God is using you in so many ways! My mom was also 19 when she was pregnant with me and her family, friends and even youth pastor pressured her to have an abortion. She has told me that what stopped her was a dear friend recalling their own experience- something so horrible that she stopped dead in her tracks. So I definitely believe lives will be saved by you having the wisdom to be so vulnerable in Christ! Your words are a blessing to the babies that will be saved!

I don't believe I've ever commented on a blog before. But then I don't think I've ever been as moved before either. May God bless your willingness to share your story and lead others to His saving grace. Thank you for your transparency and being so very real. Praying for others to find the healing you have come to experience.
God bless, Sheryl - AnonymousJanuary 23, 2013 at 3:32 AM
I commend you for your courage, so many of us have a similar story as well
ReplyDelete As I was reading this post, I'm thinking how lucky I was that I didn't get pregnant when I was a teenager. I can't even begin to imagine how you made it through this. The response from the lady at the clinic is amazing and so cold. I will continue to read your blog and not hold this against you, afterall we all have a story or two. Blessings to you as you share this journey!
ReplyDeleteI applaud your courage to tell your story, and pray that the Lord does mighty things with your testimony. Looking forward to reading the rest.

Gifts We Use {to grow, love and serve}Bless you. I'm so sorry. To be so young, scared, and unknowing, and then guilty... I'm happy that your faith has brought you peace.
We were lucky in my home in that my parents showed us the literature on it, though at the time I probably thought them weird. But a couple of my sisters did get pregnant before marriage and when my parents were there to help.I'm really sorry for your experience. I've gone with a friend for hers. I tried to talk her out of it and when we went to PP, they were kind but told her she had to look at the screen and really think hard about her decision- that she could only make this particular decision once. They were kind and courteous but it was not a situation treated lightly at all. I don't know if it's the technician you saw or it was the time in society but now things are really different. They do help a lot of people. Even if it's not a choice that others agree with.

Authors: Philip Gibbs
The problem of finding two polynomials P(x) and Q(x) of a given degree n in a single variable x that have all rational roots and differ by a non-zero constant is investigated. It is shown that the problem reduces to considering only polynomials with integer roots. The cases n < 4 are solved generically. For n = 4 the case of polynomials whose roots come in pairs (a,-a) is solved. For n = 5 an infinite number of inequivalent solutions are found with the ansatz P(x) = -Q(-x). For n = 6 an infinite number of solutions are also found. Finally for n = 8 we find solitary examples. This also solves the problem of finding two polynomials of degree n that fully factorise into linear factors with integer coefficients such that the difference is one.

Possible prevention and therapeutic intervention strategies to counteract acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity would be of great value. Wuzhi tablet (WZ, extract of Schisandrae sphenanthera) possesses hepatoprotective effects against hepatitis and the hepatic dysfunction induced by various chemical hepatotoxins. In this study, the protective effect of WZ on APAP-induced hepatic injury was evaluated and targeted metabolomics by LC-MS-based metabolomics was used to examine whether WZ influences hepatic metabolism. The results demonstrated significant hepatoprotection of WZ against APAP-induced liver injury; pretreatment with WZ prior to APAP administration blocks the increase in serum palmitoylcarnitine and oleoylcarnitine and thus restores the APAP-impaired fatty acid β-oxidation to normal levels. These studies further revealed a significant and prolonged upregulation of the PPARα target genes Cpt1 and Acot1 by WZ mainly contributing to the maintenance of normal fatty acid metabolism and thus potentially contributing to the hepatic protection of WZ against APAP-induced hepatic toxicity. Taken together, the current study provides new insights into understanding the hepatoprotective effect of WZ against APAP-induced liver toxicity.

New York City's transit agency has settled a lawsuit over a dress code that allegedly discriminated against Sikhs and Muslims for more than a decade after 9/11.
The dress code, which critics called a "brand or segregate" policy, allegedly forced Sikh and Muslim workers to make a choice about their religious head coverings: "Brand" them with a Metropolitan Transit Authority logo, or be "segregated" to a less-desirable job out of public view.
The policy was apparently on the books for years, but it wasn't enforced until 2002, in the wake of 9/11, Reuters reports. Ten years later, it's being partly derailed.
Under the New York City transit settlement, Sikh and Muslim workers are now allowed to wear religious head coverings such as headscarves and turbans, but the coverings must be the same blue color as their transit uniforms, Reuters reports.
The Transit Authority will also pay at least $184,500 to eight Sikh and Muslim workers who filed employment discrimination claims.
Claims of religious discrimination on the job are on the rise nationwide, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Between 2010 and 2011, the EEOC saw a 9.5% rise in religious discrimination complaints -- the sharpest increase in any category.
In a statement, an MTA spokesman denied the dress code was discriminatory. He emphasized that the settlement didn't change the "fundamental elements" of the uniform policy.
But the settlement is being welcomed by New York City's Sikh and Muslim transit workers, some of whom were lauded for heroism on 9/11, according to Religion News Service. "This policy made no sense," one plaintiff said. "It was driven by fear."

Phil Brown, the Hull City manager, has described their Premier League meeting with Blackburn Rovers tonight as their biggest match of the season.
The Tigers go into the Ewood Park encounter on the back of a draw with league leaders Chelsea and Saturday's 2-1 win over top-four hopefuls Manchester City. The victory was their first since November and helped them climb out of the bottom three and up to 14th, four points behind Blackburn.
There will be no surprises for Brown, with Rovers managed by his mentor Sam Allardyce, and he knows City must maintain their form with Blackburn looking to bounce back from the weekend's 3-0 defeat by Stoke. He said: "People have made reference to the three home games – Wolves, Chelsea and Man City – but this is the biggest game of the season. We're going to go into the lion's den with a wounded animal. A 3-0 defeat against Stoke will be hurting Sam and certainly hurting his players so they're going to be up for it.
"They've got a tremendous home record so we're up against it. He's a strong man, he's a strong manager and he's got a strong team. The fact we've come off three good results at home, we've got to put our best foot forward away from home and do sufficient to get our first win away from home."
Brown was particularly pleased with the displays of his front two, Jozy Altidore and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, on Saturday, with Altidore scoring his first Premier League goal.
The 20-year-old, who took compassionate leave last month following the devastating earthquake in his parents' homeland of Haiti, has had a slow start to his Hull career but Brown is confident he can build on his performance against City, because Blackburn will be without big defender Chris Samba following his red card against Stoke.
"He's come to the Premier League and hasn't really grabbed a hold of it but he's just settling down into some form and now he's got himself a goal so hopefully he'll go and express himself tomorrow night," said Brown of Altidore.
"Jan's unproven at Premier League level. It's always another step up coming to the Premier League in England I think and Jan's stepped up to that plate quite admirably. Now he's got a young man bustling and hustling alongside him, the both of them are causing centre-halves problems; therein lies the success. Chris Samba's a big, big miss for Sam. I know the way Sam likes to play the game and 6ft 4in is a big asset to him and, with that missing, it should be an advantage to us."
Allardyce is livid Samba will not be available. "We will lose Chris for two vital games after an unjust decision," he said. "When you see some of the tackles that went unpunished he was unfairly treated. Because there is no form of appeal, you are harshly punished again for something that should not have happened. I did a bit of research and it seems big boys get booked more than the smaller ones. That is going to go against Chris as he is 6ft 5in and he can't hide anywhere."
When Samba was sent off against Aston Villa earlier in the season, Blackburn responded by beating Wigan. Allardyce would like a similar reaction against Hull.
He said: "Chris is very dominant as a defender as well as giving us a presence in the opposition box and we will miss him. It is something we have to get over. We managed it before when he was sent off against Villa. Now we have got to try to do that against an in-form and confident Hull side."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Western Christian belief, damnation to hell is the punishment of God for persons who were sinners.
In Eastern Christian traditions (Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy), as well as some Western traditions, it is seen as a state of separation from God, a state into which all humans are born but against which Christ is the "Mediator" and "Great Physician".

Jeffrey Black's Count Almaviva was another fine performance, vocally secure and appealing, and unusually sexy. His Almaviva was volatile, dangerous, charming and even capable of suffering from the strength of his urges. Against him was Christine Brewer's Countess, a little tense and inclined to sharp intonation in her first aria, 'Porgi amor', but gaining security and opening out in time for the Act 3 hit number, 'Dove sono'. Alongside these went Della Jones's delightful Marcellina, beautifully sung, with a touch of Angela Lansbury in her appearance and acting, and a very winning Cherubino, Monica Bacelli, a pleasure to watch and - especially in the set piece 'Voi che sapete' - to hear.
So why wasn't it more compelling? And why were there so few laughs? A performance like this is a good reminder of how much depends on pacing. The conductor Hartmut Haenchen was never particularly slow in arias and ensembles, but recitatives dragged, the interpolated Pinter-pauses sapping tension still further. When the recitatives don't sparkle, then the arias emerge like unthreaded pearls, lacking a sense of larger significance.
Ensembles, too, often disappointed. One could see, and hear, the singers working hard, and yet technical togetherness could be surprisingly sloppy. Not only did voices and orchestra sometimes disagree as to the beat, there were moments of poor cohesion in the orchestra itself. For the bassoons and strings to go their separate ways at one point in the overture was bad enough; for them to repeat the lapse at the same point in the recapitulation was startling. And from where I was sitting, the orchestral sound tended to dominate, in the first two acts at least, obscuring some of the low-lying soprano and mezzo lines.
Johannes Schaaf's staging left a mixed impression. The background scenes, especially the gorgeously painted ceilings, were striking, the foreground walls of Figaro's apartment rather less so - a metaphor? If so, it didn't really tell. Most of the movement was good in itself, and yet it and the music sometimes seemed to exist on two different levels. The extra charge that comes when musical and human gestures enrich one another was also rare. And while the Countess waking up with a hangover in the introduction to 'Porgi amor' was funny enough, for a moment at least, what exactly did it have to do with Mozart's poignant woodwind phrases?
It was only in Act 4 that everything at last came together: set, action, voices, orchestra - and Mozart's message. But it still didn't feel quite like the climax of a good evening's entertainment - more a late compensation.

Tropical Storm Humberto continues to gradually intensify in the eastern Atlantic. As of the 2100Z NHC advisory bulletin, the following information was available on the storm:
Wind: 50 mph, with higher gusts
Location: 13.7°N 25.3°W
Movement: W at 12 mph
Pressure: 1002 mb
While the satellite presentation looks impressive, with an abundance of deep convection, recent microwave and scatterometer data suggest that the low-level center remains along the northeastern edge of the convection, a direct symptom of northeasterly shear. Satellite estimates have not changed appreciably, with a recent UW-CIMSS raw ADT number coming in at 3.0. The shear is customary of systems in this portion of the Atlantic, and as Humberto becomes more distant to the axis of the deep-layer ridge centered over the Azores, the shear should lessen, with the GFS amplifying a large 200 mb anticyclone over the surface center. Such a wind pattern normally portends significant intensification, and as long as Humberto remains over sufficiently warm water, it should respond to that pattern by strengthening.
Figure 1. Latest infrared satellite image of Tropical Storm Humberto. Image credit: NOAA's Satellite Services Division (SSD).
My forecast still calls for a peak of 80 kt between 36 and 48 hours; thereafter, the cyclone is forecast to cross the 26C isotherm, encounter more stable air, and increasing southwesterly shear associated with a large upper trough. Weakening is thus shown beyond 48 hours, although the large size of the circulation will probably not allow for a rapid decay. Although sea surface temperatures warm slightly along the projected track at the end of the period, I don't see how Humberto can reintensify at those ranges in an environment characterized by southwesterly to westerly shear. It is possible that Humberto could experience a brief episode of rapid intensification tomorrow if an inner core becomes established, and there is still a chance of the cyclone reaching major hurricane status.
Synoptic data suggest that Humberto is south of a well-established subtropical ridge near or over the Azores. Water vapor imagery shows an upper low over the central Atlantic between Bermuda and the Azores moving southeastward, and another such low and attendant trough a few hundred miles west of the coast of Portugal moving southward. These two features are forecast to interact and create a large weakness in the western extent of the subtropical ridge, allowing Humberto to turn sharply northwestward to north-northwestward in the next 24-36 hours. At days four and five of the forecast, I anticipate the cyclone sharply turning back toward the west-northwest as mid-level ridging rebuilds to the north. The models continue to be in agreement with this, increasing confidence in the forecast.
Intensity forecast and positions
12 hour 09/09 0600Z 13.8°N 27.1°W 50 KT 60 MPH
24 hour 09/10 1800Z 14.4°N 28.6°W 65 KT 75 MPH

Track forecast
Figure 2. My forecast track for Humberto.
Invest 92L
An area of low pressure, associated with the remnants of Gabrielle, is located about 350 miles south of Bermuda. Convection has increased significantly during the diurnal minimum, which could be a sign that the system is attempting to regenerate. Based on microwave and earlier visible satellite data, the low-level circulation, albeit small, appears well-defined, and only a slight increase in the organization of the convection would result in the reformation of a tropical cyclone. For now though, the data suggests that the center is clearly to the west of the convection due to continued southwesterly to westerly shear. The GFS shows the upper flow remaining only marginally favorable, but the diffluence associated with such a flow might allow for enough convective sustenance to see Gabrielle regenerate despite the shear.
This system is expected to begin moving northeast ahead of a frontal zone over the western Atlantic.
Probability of development in 48 hours: 50%
Bay of Campeche development possible late in the week
The GFS and ECMWF show a tropical cyclone developing in the southwestern Bay of Campeche in about four or five days; the GFS is about a day faster with development. In either case, the upper flow pattern on the GFS is very favorable for the development and intensification of a tropical cyclone, with the possibility existing that the system could become a hurricane.
There is a window of opportunity for the system to move northward into Texas or Louisiana as a trough amplifies over the southern United States this weekend, but it will depend on the depth of the trough, the latitude of formation, and the vertical depth of the modeled tropical cyclone.
I assume this system comes from the tropical wave currently over the Yucatan Peninsula. This system is already generating deep convection in the western Caribbean, indicating some potency to the wave.
Regardless of development, heavy rains and possible flooding is expected over portions of eastern Mexico later this week.

Celebrating "Three Hotels" at Williamstown Theatre Festival
The spirit of the Williamstown Theatre Festival (WTF) is best expressed on its opening night: The entire audience is always invited to the post-performance party along with the scores of young apprentices who are spending their summer honing their theatre skills under the tutelage of Broadway veterans. On Thursday, June 30, the mood was giddy under the tents erected on the lawn of the 62 Center for Theatre and Dance where Mezze Catering served sparkling wine, beer and cupcakes following an exquisitely provocative revival of Jon Robin Baitz's Three Hotels, the story of a former Peace Corps worker who loses his soul, along with his wife and son, by climbing the corporate ladder at a multinational company that pushes baby formula on women who don't need it in the Third World. WTF is justifiably famous for its commitment to all the theatre arts, and the sets for Three Hotels were especially magnificent and watching the scene changes was sheer delight.

Alone on the Ice: The Greatest Survival Story in the History of Exploration

signed, dj corners ruffled from shipping, else dj & cloth new
On January 17, 1913, alone and near starvation, Douglas Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, was hauling a sledge to get back to base camp. The dogs were gone. Now Mawson himself plunged through a snow bridge, dangling over an abyss by the sledge harness. A line of poetry gave him the will to haul himself back to the surface.
Mawson was sometimes reduced to crawling, and one night he discovered that the soles of his feet had completely detached from the flesh beneath. On February 8, when he staggered back to base, his features unrecognizably skeletal, the first teammate to reach him blurted out, "Which one are you?"
This thrilling and almost unbelievable account establishes Mawson in his rightful place as one of the greatest polar explorers and expedition leaders. It is illustrated by a trove of Frank Hurley's famous Antarctic photographs, many never before published in the United States.

- All About
Features and Benefits
- More visible than traditional wire
- Lightweight
- Convenient to install, repair and rewind
- Will not rust
Ideal Uses
- Temporary fencing
- Rotational grazing
- Controlled grazing
Poly wire is a good fence choice since it is more visible than traditional metal wire, lightweight and installs easily. Poly wire is easily tightened, spliced, repaired and rewound. In addition, it can be re-used again and again.
Use a poly wire tightener to maintain wire tension as needed.
This convenient wire can be used for temporary grazing, strip or rotational grazing and pet control. Poly wire should not be used with continuous output chargers
Poly rope is another excellent high visibility choice for your fence line. It is stronger than poly wire, with stainless steel strands woven through the rope.
The steel strands ensure maximum electrical energy is carried through the fence line at all times. Use a splicer to maintain a good connection. Most poly ropes are about 1/4 inch in diameter.
Note: For best results, use a low impedance fence charger to energize poly wire and poly rope fences. Poly rope should not be used with continuous output chargers.
- Tips
Expert Tips
The height and spacing of the wires will vary with the animal you are containing. Position one electrified wire at animal's shoulder height; this will cause it to hit the fence with its nose, making it back up.
Use poly tape for horse fencing or in rotational grazing since the animals can easily see this highly visible electric fence wire. Splice poly tape with splicer buckles specially designed for easy splicing and repairing of poly tape.
Poly wire is lightweight, so it is very easy to handle. You can rewind it very easily, move it and re-use it. Splice poly wire by tying a good, tight knot to maintain connections. Use a poly wire line tightener on each line and each side of the fence to maintain wire tension.
Also highly visible, this electric poly rope is also used for horses and livestock. When repairing poly rope, use a splicer designed for poly rope to maintain a good electrical connection.
Use a low impedance fence charger with poly wire and poly tape products.
For a permanent perimeter fence, you may want to use high tensile or steel wire as your fence wire.

Fence Wire FAQs
Q: Why is poly tape better for use with horses than regular wire?
A: It's a matter of visibility. Horses can see the tape more readily than wire. Remember, electric fencing is a psychological barrier: after a horse has met up with a poly tape electric fence and has felt the shock, when it sees the poly tape again, it will remember the shock and stay away from the fence.
Q: Why should I place one wire at the animal's shoulder?
A: Positioning one electrified wire at animal's shoulder height will cause the animal to hit the fence with its nose, making the animal back up. See illustration below.
Q: What is the advantage of using high-tensile wire rather than aluminum wire?
A: High tensile wire is designed to be both a psychological barrier and a physical barrier. High tensile wire not only carries a shock, it is also sturdy enough to prevent a large bull from penetrating the fence line (as long as it has been installed correctly.)
In addition, aluminum wire can stretch out over time as tension is applied to it (very slowly). High tensile wire will not stretch; this affordable barrier can last for many, many years.

What weight lifting techniques are the best for building muscles?
The best way to build muscle is to do exercises with heavier weights at lower reps. However, it is important to maintain proper form in order to avoid injury as you add weight to your lifting program. By no means should you sacrifice form to increase weight! In addition, a well balanced diet will also help you reach your goal. Good luck and lift safely!

After checking out the lines of the sporty-looking truck, she opens the passenger door where the vehicle's driver is revealed. It's fellow mud flap resident Yosemite Sam behind the wheel.
"It's a simple idea and Andy's vision was to bring it to life, not complicate it," says RPA's senior producer Julie Dolson. "Andy and everyone over at A52 delivered in a ridiculously compressed timeframe without sacrificing quality."
Hall shot the Ridgeline at South Bay Studios in Long Beach, with Eric Schmidt serving as his director of photography. For some of the scenes, a woman in a black leotard was shot moving around the truck. The live-action footage was then used as the basis for the movement of the animated girl.
A52 Inferno artist Pat Murphy worked closely with Hall to design the spot's opening scene, showing a girl-adorned mud flap on a moving truck. A52's CG team of Dan Gutierrez and Max Ulichney created the girl, the photoreal mudflap, and a rubberized, textured version of the Honda logo in Autodesk Maya.
Murphy's 2D team, including Alicia Aguilera, composited all the CG elements in Inferno together with the moving road, and applied various effects to heighten the realism of the opening and closing scenes.
A52's team also touched-up Yosemite Sam to put him behind the wheel of the Ridgeline, sans his famous six-shooters.
Company 3's Mike Pethel served as the colorist for the spot, which was edited by Rock Paper Scissors' Brad Waskewich and features music by Nick Armstrong and the Thieves, and sound design by the team at Hum in Santa Monica. The spot's final mix was engineered by Jimmy Hite of Margarita Mix de Santa Monica.

Hi folks, I'm new with android phones, but I learn fast. Here is my story short. I want to replace my iphone (att) with a Bionic (verizon) model and use it to Att. I was reading on different forum that is possible to do it? But looks like is not working in 6.7.242. I was able to root the phone, modif parameters with radiocomm but still not working. Everytime when I start with different sim then verizon says unknown source sim card. Also I have a Pin and Unlock code from Verizon but still dont know how to use it on enter it. Hope someone can direct me in to the right direction . Have a great day everyone
I'm not sure if this would work on any of the ics leaks or have you try it out yet but heres link The Droid:Bionic can do CMDA/4LTE and GSM/HSPA+ [IMAGE INTENSIVE] - Droid Bionic - RootzWiki
The sim card in the Bionic is for the 4G and not like a sim card from, say, T-Mobile. You might be able to do it with Sprint, but I don't think you can with AT&T. BTW, I see you have your phone number on your profile. That isn't necessary. They want you to put the current phone you have, not its number.
Finally get it to work, but only gsm part no DATA yet. I did the procedure yesterday and unlock the phone but my problem was how to switch preferred network. Your link was very useful because I found keypad input that let me change settings for that. Thanks again. Now any suggestions how or where to edit APN settings ?
I havent seen anything about the apn settings but you can try google see if you csn find anything about it
found something on play store that help. data is working now on 3g also. I still need to figure out the text message part.

Morgan Joseph's research department released the third edition of their annual "Stellar Six Stock Picks" on Wednesday. David Kestenbaum, managing director at the firm, shared his insights on some of this year's picks with CNBC.
Morgan Joseph's 2009 Stellar Six greatly outperformed the S&P Index, most notably IMAX, up 112 percent for the year.
Many of the 2010 selections have fared particularly well within their respective industries.
And as the economy continues on its path of recovery and the government increases program spending, Morgan Joseph analysts anticipate these six names to benefit.
The Stellar Six List:
- Cree with $100.00 price target
- Great Lakes Dredge & Dock with $7.00 price target — This dredging company plays in an industrial sector with very high barriers to entry and holds 45 percent of the U.S. market share.
"It has a hiccup in the first quarter based on weather," Kestenbaum said. "So we see an buy opportunitity here."
- LodgeNet Interactive with $8.50 price target — Despite being dependant on the hotel industry that struggled through the recession, this media services provider managed to generate $65 million in free cash flow.
"It did well in the difficult hotel environment," Kestenbaum said. "With the free cash flow and paying down their debt, their equity will rise."
- Mattel with $28.00 price target
- Spectrum Pharmaceuticals with $8.00 price target — This small-cap biotechnology firm is an "incredible story," according to Kestenbaum.
Unlike other small industry players that focus on one drug, Spectrum has four in the pipeline: Two approved and ready to roll out and another two that he sayswill likely be approved early next year.
- Volcano Corporation with $26.00 price target

If everyone runs their own Tor exit node, including unknowingly every dumb Windows and Mac user out there, then malware writers (the NSA?) would have a field day writing bad stuff that attacks and takes advantage of a very large number of exit nodes. So which is better: fewer exit nodes but a few known bad ones as it is now, or shitloads of exit nodes where the vast majority cannot be trusted?
In my mind this is not interesting but rather bordering flamebait. How is what you propose any different than what exists now? Malware writers are having a field day right now with all of the unsecured exit nodes. ( yes you are an exit node on the internet, regardless if you are a tor exit node ) So the true question is would you rather have a greater possibility of retaining your privacy, or just keep living in a deluded fantasy where you think you have any semblance of privacy when you don't? Don't be the one to drink the cool-aid, it never turns out good for that person.
C code without any APIs can't exploit a potato. It isn't inherently able to talk to the kernel.
How does not being able to make french fries relate to not being able to make popcorn? And how does this make the code safer? (Even if you thought it was cheesy it is still funny.)

Taking Suh doesn't mean the Rams can't also take a QB in another round to groom.

5. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back, 1980)
Every 12-year-old boy has, at one point, grabbed a couple of cardboard tubes and hummed along while recreating a lightsaber fight with friends. It's practically a rite of passage, and no list of great movie fights is complete without a lightsaber duel for the pop-culture significance alone. George Lucas staged many, but none was finer than the climax of The Empire Strikes Back. Kids had been waiting three long years to see Luke and Vader face off when Empire came out, and Lucas delivered the goods. The stiff Obi-Wan-Vader duel from the original was replaced with an incredible choreographed fight that the Star Wars series has struggled to match ever since. That the epic duel concludes with one of the most shocking twists in movie history is just icing on the cake.

[author: James R. Erwin]
In a much-anticipated decision issued today (December 11, 2012), the Maine Supreme Judicial Court (the Law Court) has held that supervisors cannot be held individually liable under the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA) or the Maine Whistleblowers Protection Act (MWPA). By the narrowest of margins, the Law Court's 4-3 decision in the case of Fuhrmann v. Staples finally resolves the question of supervisor liability after over a decade of uncertainty for employers following the Court's 2000 decision in Gordan v. Cummings, in which it initially found supervisor liability but shortly thereafter withdrew its decision.
The plaintiff in Fuhrmann worked in Staples' South Portland and Biddeford stores for over eight years until she resigned in 2008. She alleged that within a few months after she reported discovering that someone had miscoded furniture in a way that she believed could constitute tax fraud, her schedule was changed in a way that made it impossible for her to continue to work. She sued Staples and five individual supervisors. The Superior Court granted summary judgment for Staples on the whistleblower claim, and also held that she could not sue the supervisors because neither the MWPA nor the MHRA (which established the procedure under whistleblower claims are brought to court) creates individual liability for supervisors.
When the plaintiff appealed the decision, a group of Maine business and trade associations enlisted Pierce Atwood to file a brief on their behalf as amicus curiae (friends of the court) in support of Staples' position that the individual supervisors could not be liable under the MWPA or MHRA. The decision turned on the interpretation of the (somewhat different) definitions of "employer" in each statute. The majority found the definitions ambiguous and thus also looked at the whole statutory scheme to resolve the question. The Court concluded that making employers, and not their supervisory employees, legally responsible for preventing and correcting workplace discrimination would better serve the legislative intent underlying the two statutes.
This result is a very important victory for employers, who as we argued in our amicus brief would have faced a very different workplace dynamic if their supervisors had to concern themselves with avoiding personal liability. For example, the natural temptation for supervisors would be to hold protected class employees to different standards for performance reviews or disciplinary situations in order to protect themselves from claims. Further, the effect of this dynamic would be to make Maine employers less competitive by incentivizing supervisors to avoid merit-based decisions, and by adding to the overall cost of employment (such as increased insurance premiums for coverage for employment claims).
While the Law Court held for Staples (and all employers) on the individual liability issue, it reversed the summary judgment for Staples and sent the case back for trial, finding that there were issues of fact about whether the report about the furniture played a part in Staples' decision to change her schedule, which she claims forced her to resign. This result is yet another indication from the Law Court that it does not favor the grant of summary judgment for employers. That issue is beyond the scope of this Alert, but we will be addressing it in due course.
We will discuss this case at our December breakfast program, which is this Thursday (December 13) at 8:00 at our Portland office, and also available remotely. Details are available on our website. If you have questions or need further information about the import of this decision for your organization, please contact Jim Erwin or Katy Rand.
Pierce Atwood was pleased to advocate on behalf of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, National Federal of Independent Business, Associated Builders and Contractors of Maine, Maine Innkeepers Association, Maine Restaurant Association, Maine Motor Transport Association, Maine Merchants Association, and Maine Grocers' Association.
