I honestly don't know why it aggravates me the way it does. Probably just the way they treated me growing up. Maybe after all these years, I hope they would acknowledge the fact, that a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, actually made good out of nothing.
My only caveat is... don't judge the rest of the world by the crowd you knew growing up... and how you felt about them then...
Probably pretty good guys if you had a beer with 'em...

"Consider the dozens of pink-shirted Planned Parent representatives. As the crowds stroll by, they yell out "Get your 'Protect yourself from Romney and Ryan condom,'" as they hand out pink condom packages with a single condom appropriately dyed blue."
"Aspen, Colorado delegate Blanca O'Leary, for example, sported a "Sluts Vote," button, a reference to the word Limbaugh used to describe Fluke. Said O'Leary, "All women should have the right to birth control.""

As for whether he has a heart, you may have missed some of the RNC speeches (I usually read or listen to that stuff on my computer at my convenience). For example, Romney closed down his Boston office to move everyone to NYC to help in the search for the daughter of an employee whose daughter had gone missing. I hadn't heard of that incident before the RNC.
I have noted one chink in Romney's shining armor (so far) ... investment funds for Bain came from individuals who may have had ties to drug cartels in Columbia.
I think, too, that there is some conflict over the MA health care program issue v. Obamacare. There are programs that can work well at a state level that can not be "translated" into national programs. Romney has often said that he told Obama's staff, when they asked for his input on Obamacare, that MA plan would not be right for a national program. I've noted that the Obama administration has never refuted that claim. You'd think they would have, wouldn't you?
We can't be sure that the Obama campaign has unleashed all the "dirt" they have been able to dig up on Romney and Ryan. They were probably prepared with plenty of background investigation on both of them. Are they waiting for a more "crucial" moment to unload something "major"? So far all their attacks on Romney have been shown to be a real "stretch" in extrapolation.
And we should keep in mind that Obama did NOT "work his way up" out of poverty. He actually was pretty well off, and his struggle seems to have been that he had not been part of the struggles of his father and grandfather in Africa. From his position of being pretty comfortable, he was able to dabble in the liberal causes. His Chicago connections brought him financial means (Reszko, for example); as did his books.
I've always thought that TWO autobiographies for such a young man had to be some "structured" PR for his political career. And now we find that those theoretically non-fiction books may not have been exactly totally non-fiction.
I think the big problem with the Obama stimulus (as distinguished from the bank bailout under Bush) was that it was supposed to go into "shovel ready" projects that would produce jobs and infrastructure. In the end, a lot of it went to "maintain" public sector jobs that already existed (teachers, firemen, police). While those public service jobs are necessary ones, now the funds are gone and the state and local govts have to cut jobs that were only temporarily saved.
One does not have to look far for abuse in those areas of fire and police unions. There are a couple of glaring examples here in my local area.
And I absolutely agree with many on the forum that the abuses of govt elite are NOT limited to one party. Both have a plenty long "rap sheet" for waste, thievery, cronyism, etc.

text: Formed by volcanic eruptions over millions of years, they are located a very remote 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. These islands remain shockingly unspoilt and are where Charles Darwin invented the theory of evolution after studying the islands' many different species of Finches. Thus, the islands remain of high scientific importance. e fact they are located so far from the coast and weren't inhabited by humans until 150 years ago, has helped the hundreds of species of animals develop over 1000's of years without the slightest fear of human beings.This fearless wildlife is unmistakably one of the biggest reasons to visit as truly no where else on the planet will one encounter animals in their original, natural, wild habitat that are absolutely not bothered in the least by the presence of humans. In fact, in the case of land iguana, you have to be careful not to step on them because many just refuse to move!The species found on Galapagos are often endemic, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of these include land tortoises, the Galapagos Penguin (the 2nd smallest in the world), land and marine iguanas, Darwin Finches, the famous Blue-footed Booby and it's cousin the Red-footed Booby.harks (Galapagos shark, white tipped shark and the extremely rare and fascinating Hammerhead, among others). For birds, a small sample include Frigates and its similar cousin the Cormorant, Flamingos, Pelicans, the enormous Albatross. The water is of course crystal clear and the snorkeling and diving there is among the best in the world (ask any expert!).

Fabric Definition:
SuperMicro: Especially soft, fine microfibre yarn that fits and feels like a second skin. Has high breathability and moisture-absorbing properties.
Straps become wider in larger sizes and the width of the back increases to prevent "cutting in" on shoulders and back. Basic bra models are smoothly tailored and intentionally designed without decorative elements. Exclusive bra models are finished with high quality lace or embroidery.
The Rosa Faia collection is coordinated to give you a complete look with matching panties in hipster, brief, and thong styles. Tailoring and design details have been harmonized to work together beautifully.
Garment Care:
Garments with hook and eye closures or Velcro fasteners should be closed prior to washing in order to avoid damage to lace and embroidery.
Important: The use of a mild detergent without optical color brighteners keeps the whites white for longer. The brighteners can leave a deposit on the fabric which can turn them gray. Do not use fabric softener as traces will remain in the fabric and can cause skin irritations and allergies. The hold of the garment would also be affected, leading to a lessening of its support and shape-forming characteristics.

Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) are down 5.7% this afternoon, after rising 9.1% in yesterday's trading.
I covered the extreme nature of the stock in my Monday post — namely, that for all its gains, it's also one of the most-shorted companies on the stock market, with about 50% of its float held by short sellers.
Today, Jefferies analyst Elaine Kwei takes a look under the hood, ahead of tomorrow's announcement of first-quarter earnings:
TSLA has returned 76% YTD, and 57% since pre-announcing 1Q on April 1. Despite the tremendous move, short interest still remains near all-time highs (approximately 46% of the float). We expect 1Q to be in line, with potential revenue upside from the sale of emissions credits. In the near term, however, we expect short covering to continue driving the stock upwards, with a ways to go.
Kwei has the stock rated a Buy with a $68 price target (it's just under $56 late Tuesday). In her note, she outlines the role short interest plays in the stock's moves:
[S]hort interest remains near all-time highs as of April 15. We think the bulk of the short interest accumulated when the stock was trading well below $40.
Still plenty of short covering ahead. Since TSLA preannounced 1Q on April 1, CEO Elon Musk has continued to generate positive momentum with a stream of tweets and news releases announcing new service, financing, and supercharging (coming soon) offerings designed to eliminate consumer purchasing barriers. While it's difficult to quantify how much more pain could be inflicted on the shorts, we think there's still a long way to go given that the short interest has yet to come down significantly. This is in contrast to two
other highly-shorted cleantech names, FSLR and CREE, both of which have seen their short interest decline significantly over the past year.
She also provides a brief look at first quarter earnings:
Going into the 1Q report, expectations for any surprises are likely toward the positive. Some investors may be hoping for upside to FY13 guidance of 20,000 deliveries; we think this number is a fair target given international launches in Europe and Asia this year. Investors will likely focus on the contribution of zero emissions credits to revenue and margins, and seek to normalize earnings ex-credits. Investors will also focus on order and cancellation rates, although TSLA has indicated that they eventually plan to move away from disclosing these metrics.

Where I stayed
Day 6 - June 11 2011:
After our big night out on the strip, we awoke just in time to clean ourselves up, pack our bags and say goodbye to our Hollywood Hotel room. Shelly was feeling pretty hungover. Talk about a role reversal from the norm, it's not just the toilet water that is backwards here...
I felt fine because I had been more responsible than Shelly. This was a good thing as we had to tackle the three and a half hour trip to Pismo Beach (our stopover between LA and San Fran).
The drive out of LA was nothing special but as we got closer to the coast and Pismo the scenery changed. It was really nice to be out of the city into the countryside.
Pismo Beach is a small seaside resort. We stayed at a place called The Sandcastle Inn and the view from our room was amazing, looking straight onto the beach and out over the Pismo Beach Pier.
After our previous big night in LA and a few hours on the road, we both felt like a lazy night in to recharge the batteries. So we grabbed fish and chips from the local takeaway which was bloody good, admired the view from our balcony and watched some in-room movies - none of which to rave about. We both needed a good rest after the previous few non stop days.
Now if you don't mind we're just gonna relax and put our feet up, goodbye.
Ahhhh Merchant and Ahhhh Nowland.

Ron Johnson inches ahead in poll, 48% to Feingold's 46%
Did you see this good news? Last week, U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson inched ahead of incumbent Russ Feingold in the latest Rassmusen poll of likely voters.
"The Wisconsin Senate race is still a toss-up, with Republican Ron Johnson and incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in a near tie.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Wisconsin shows Johnson with 48% support. Feingold, a member of the Senate since 1993, again picks up 46% of the vote. Two percent (2%) favor another candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) are undecided."
This represents a 1% gain for Johnson since the last poll 2 weeks ago: Johnson 47%, Feingold 46%.
Since the margin of error is + or -4, we are still considered a toss up, but Feingold does seem stuck. (My emphasis) "This is the fourth survey since May in which the incumbent's support has remained at 46%. Feingold was reelected in 2004 with 55% of the vote, and incumbents who consistently earn less than 50% of the vote at this stage of a campaign are considered vulnerable."
I found this poll data stunning: "Fifty-one percent (51%) approve of how Presidnet Obama is doing his job. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove. This is higher approval than Obama earns nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll."
Whenever I hear of high Obama approval numbers, I ask, who are these people? (I know, many love him because of what he gives them.) But more importantly, does this indicate more people favor Obama than Feingold?
Obama won the state with 56% of the vote and now polls favorable at 51%, 5% less. Feingold won in 2004 with 55% of the vote and now polls at 46%, 9% less than before and 5% less than the President. I think this indicates that Feingold's support is eroding.
I am no pollster, but I am a Ron Johnson supporter! Johnson is steadily gaining on Feingold and considering Johnson was largely unknown until May, that is saying something.

Also, I would ask, how do you know what your dog is looking at? Just looking at the back or top of their head won't tell you what their eyes are focused on, especially if what you think they locked on is fairly close to the pile. Have you done any pop-up marks to get a read on the dogs head/eye set to better understand this?

Google's take on the year's Internet search trends is out today, offering investors a window on what users were up to — and probably what Google was suggesting, in some cases.
Google Zeitgeist 2012 from Google (GOOG) presents data in two ways: "trending" represents searches "with the highest amount of traffic over a sustained period in 2012 as compared to 2011." But in other cases, it provides "most searched" data for the "most popular terms for 2012—ranked in order of the queries with the largest volume of searches." The entire list with country breakdowns is downloadable in a PDF here.
Globally, trending stats for consumer electronics put the iPad from Apple (AAPL) at the top of the heap, with interest in the iPad mini too. But no mention of the iPhone among electronics. Sandwiched between the top-ranked iPad searches was the Galaxy S3 smartphone from Samsung Electronics (005930KS). Rounding out the list: the Kindle Fire from Amazon.com (AMZN) and a Microsoft (MSFT) Windows phone from Nokia (NOK). Here's how Google ranks electronics search trends for 2012:
- iPad 3
- Samsung Galaxy S3
- iPad Mini
- Nexus 7
- Galaxy Note 2
- Play Station
- iPad 4
- Microsoft Surface
- Kindle Fire
- Nokia Lumia 920
Obviously the Google data isn't perfect. According to the top 2012 searches on Yahoo (YHOO), plenty of people were searching for iPhone info …

This is not surprising at all but I think it explains Attorney General Michael Mukasey reluctance to admit Waterboarding is illegal during his confirmation hearings.
This is not surprising at all but I think it explains Attorney General Michael Mukasey reluctance to admit Waterboarding is illegal during his confirmation hearings.
..and why should it be. These are terrorists. They have no affilaition with any soveriegn nation. They are disposable and should be. Waterboard them, glean what information you can, then dispose of them.
I know this will bring a lot of fury from any liberasl that read this but these folks are animlas with no remorse and only a seething hatred for Americans and would gladly do it again and again and if they die they think they get to go to Allah and a bunch of virgins.

Sometimes, like in the case of extreme hazard to the nation and or its military extreme means of interrogation are needed. Would anyone have raised a fit if we had been able to waterboard a member of the Imperial Japanese Navy and gotten advance warning on Pearl Harbor that would have some or all of the 2500 US lives that were lost that day?

I think water boarding and other forms of torture should be legal give the right circumstances. In cases were American life's are at risk the authorization I think the President should sign a torture warrant. Publically most military brass will tell you that torture never works but privately they will tell you it is a very practical tool. The question each one of us has to ask ourselves is "what would I be willing to do to save a life or protect a nation" had decision but then again we are dealing with some pretty hard people.
Why are we even calling water boarding extreme. I don't see anything extreme about it. Hell I probably got spankings as a kid worse then that. Just something else for the touchy feely crowd to bitch about.

K-mart in the DTC had the AOTC 3.75 figures out today. By the time I arrived they only had Captain Typho left on a badly damaged card. Oh well, K-mart is over-priced anway, but somebody got lucky.
I really hope Wal-Mart has the remainder i need on tuesday, Which is- jar-Jar, Nikto, Luminara, Taun We, Royal Guard, Dexter, Gronosian (sp?), Anikin Hanger, Sae Sae Tiin,the 4 deluxes, Slave 1, Ani's and Zam's Speeders, woo, 16 figs, o wait, Reek, 17... Please Wal-mart be my savior, This will be the death of me, i swear...
I hope that everyone was as lucky last night and this morning. I didn't start looking until 4 A.M. I went to the Commerce City Wal-mart frist, and found almost everything that I needed. I was able to get 24 of the 27 figures; all but Yoda, Geonosian Warrior, and Tusken Female. I then went to the Walmart off of Abelien and was able to find those figures and the 12" set. TRU in Aurora did not have the 12" Mace so I ordered it on line. Did the 12" Clone Troopers with rank marking come out at KB today? I didn't see any.
I went out, got all but Geonosian Warrior, Royal Guard, and Dexter Jetster. so i also got 24 of the 27. But i still dont have them, i went to that one too in commerce city, they had a whole bunch left even at 5:30 in the morning.
I was at the Commerce City WalMart at midnight. I got one of every figure. There was plenty of everything to go around at the time. Dexter, Geonosian Warrior, and Royal Guard were in less quantity for sure. Tusken Raider, Shaak Ti, and Bob Fett were also limited but maybe it was just that way at that store. There were also a good number of Dooku's but apparently the scalpers grabbed all of the extras up last night because it's pretty hard to find one now.
I think the hardest figures to find from the launch waves will be Dexter, Geonosian Warrior, Yoda (as always), and Count Dooku. I went by TRU today in Aurora and it looked like they had already restocked; I don't think they put out all of their cases yesterday. Many of the figures that I saw there today had the cardboard behind the figure. Last evening, KB had many of the Geonosian warriors still, but I am not going to pay $2 extra for a figure.
Yesterday at the Walmart on Exposition, when I was checking out, the cashier totally went off on me. she said' "What is wrong with you. You are a grown man playing with toys. IF you have so much money to waste maybe you should be thinking of helping out people who can't feed theirkids like me...." This went on for about five minutes., and then she started getting nastey and curing at me. After I was done checking out I went to the manager of the store and told them about the situation. The manager said that she was sorry for the cashier cursing, but that she is entitled to her feelings, and that if I did not like it, I could go shop at another store.
Good Lord, ces! I would have told that lady to go f*** herself. If she can't feed her kids then maybe she should go get a real job instead of working at WalMart. I have zero tolerance for people complaining about their lives instead of doing something about it. She especially had no right to do this to a paying customer. She's lucky she still has her WalMart job. She deserved to be written up, if not fired for pulling that kind of crap, and then how would she feed her kids. Sounds lke a reeeeeaaally smart lady.
I really wanted to press the issue, but I figured that she was just jealouse that there were hordes of Star Wars fans able to spend money when she cannot. I do admitt that I did want to smack her a good one, and if I could have used the force, I would have given in to the dark side and bopped her across the store.
My Mace Windu TRU exclusive arrived in the mail today. I was surprised at how quickly he arrived. He is pretty cool, but the smiley head sculped is a little disturbing. Now there are two Mace Windu 12" figures with Zero other council members made from the prequel era.
he looks cool, the first one was cool too, they kinda look alike though. one has a cloak the other doesn't.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Juro and Steelies on a fly,
I lived in Port Angeles as well and love the Elwha. It has treated me well. I am greatly anticipating the removal of the dams and the restoration of the fishery.
Port Angeles
Was stationed in Port Angeles for about 4 years and loved fishing on the Elwa. That was in the late 60's and early 70's. Glad to here the good news. I will be back! Coast Guard kept me very busy up there!
Shoot me an email if you are still intrested in recieving a copy of that picuture...I have a contact for that picture you adore so much. That contact is a close freind and might be able to pull some strings for you.
The Elwha was the first wild OP river I ever saw in the mid 80's when I was checking out the area prior to moving there. I've fished it steadily over the last 18 years and I have become very attached to it. I've felt strongly about the removal of these dams and was elated when Babbitt got it pushed through.
It doesn't matter how long it takes, the rebirth of the Elwha will be one of the biggest victories for anadromous species in history!
BTW - I never heard back from WSAS about those back issues, anyone else order any?
Elwha Dams
Folks I saw a new item the other day in the local newspaper that was on the Elwha River dams. The item stated that the two dams will be removed from the wonderful river by 2007 and that the money to do so has been appropriated by Congress and approved by the Bush administration to do so.
For those of you that don't know this river, it is born in the high country of the Olympic National Park of Wasington's Oluypmpic Peninsula. The river used to have chinook of over 100 pounds until the lower dam (the Elwha Dam) was built in the early years of the 20th century at river mile 5. It never had a fish ladder. Then the Glines Canyon dam was built 12 miles further upriver from the Elwha Dam. This dam made a fish ladder useless on Elwha Dam because it took so long for the wter and fish to get throught Glines Canyon Dam that smolt rarely made it through and into the midle river on their downstream migration.
Anyhow, the removal of these two dams will provide anadromous fish (all 5 species of Pacific salmon, summer and winter steelhead, sea run cutthroat, and sea run bull trout) access to around 35ooo miles of primes, pristine spawning habitat. Also, DNA studies on the "rainbow trout" found above Glines Canyon Dam have clearly shown that these "rainbows" are actully winter and summer run steelhead that have not been able to make it through Glines Canyon Dam as smolts so they move back into the upper river and its tributaries.
Sometimes the fish actually win! It will take between 10 and 20 years for the full impact of the dam removals on the river to be seen, according the John Meyer, the anadromous fisheries biologist of Olympic National Park.

The Edge interview: Memory Man
As U2's innovative guitarist, The Edge is no stranger in taking risks. Here, he reflects on his 25 years with rock's most musically adventurous and life-affirming band.
It's hard to tell if the Edge is having a midday or midlife crisis. "Why am I here?" the U2 guitarist asks inscrutably, rubbing his salt-and-pepper chin stubble and staring at the tranquil vista of the Hudson River and, beyond it, the banks of New Jersey. We're standing in the penthouse of Manhattan's airy, swanky M Studio, taking in some ephemeral sun on an otherwise resolutely cloudy afternoon.
Just as I'm about to go for some high-minded response like, "Well, Edge, we're doing a photo shoot, and then an interview," he abruptly expands on his thoughts: "Starting a band is the easy part. Once you've formed the band you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do—they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search."
Occurring now at roughly four-year intervals, the U2 album/tour cycle is an important opportunity to convince past allies that it's still the same band, with the same passion and beliefs, even if the music is totally different. The Edge considers this contention, chuckling with embarrassment. "That sounds like doublespeak, but the new album is proof enough." He is referring, of course, to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the group's latest album, released late last year. Its stripped-back arrangements and production recall the U2 of old, before dance beats, synthesizers and club music trappings engulfed their music in the late Nineties. In that respect, the album is nothing so much as an extension of the back-to-basics endeavors of its predecessor, 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind.
"Soundwise, it's us completing a circle," says the Edge, "but by no means are we talking about only one circle. By referencing our past, by allowing ourselves to sound like the 'old U2'—the Eighties U2—we're not in a box anymore. Now we're free to sound any way we please. It's very liberating."
To many longtime fans, the very notion of confinement runs counter to everything they hold dear about "Eighties U2." And there is much they hold dear: Bono's towering vocals, matched with the raw, naïve immediacy of his lyrics; the rousing percussive force of the bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr.; and, of course, the Edge's guitar sound, among the most distinctive in rock music.
Chimerical and chiming, echoey and evocative, it came into existence with no evident beginning. Even on U2's debut, 1980's Boy, the Edge's cascading guitar textures are in full bloom. Armed with just a Gibson Explorer and a Memory Man echo unit, the guitarist lashed out at parochial attitudes about what rock should sound like and what it could communicate. On a series of dizzyingly iconic albums throughout that decade, the Edge created an entirely new language for the instrument, one of harmonic squalls and ringing ostinatos, by turns space-age and rural. Nothing seemed beyond his reach. Even while jamming with the redoubtable B.B. King on "When Love Comes to Town," from U2's 1988 album Rattle and Hum, he was no apprentice, dispensing pure sound (and fewer notes than B.B.) with an exactitude and delight still unsurpassed by any other guitarist.
To acknowledge one's heritage is not necessarily to approve of it, and during much of the Nineties, U2 set about fixing what many saw as not being broke. In the band's view, the Edge's sound had become part of its overblown image and sound, a pretension to be dispensed in small doses, if at all. As U2 entered the next phase of their career, ironic self parody ruled the day, and on such adventurous albums as Achtung Baby!, Zooropa and Pop, the guitar revelries so intrinsic to U2's success were replaced by anything the band could think up. "Our M.O. at the time was simple," recalls the Edge: " 'If it sounds like U2, it goes. If it sounds like anybody else, it stays.' And yet, somehow we sounded like us all the same."
In artistic terms, the albums were triumphs, but commercially U2 began to fall out of favor. Pop, a metaphysical potpourri of trance and dance electronica, veered further away from their classic sound than most fans cared to follow. So it was a no small relief when they issued All That You Can't Leave Behind and threw their arms around themselves again, allowing the anthems—and the Edge's guitar—to fly once again. " 'Beautiful Day' got us to thinking it could work again," says the Edge. Any doubts they had were certainly dispelled by the time U2 settled down to record How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Its singles "Vertigo" and "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own" recall nothing as much as prime U2, with their "big" vocals and guitar sounds. Yet, for all the familiarity of the music, it's evident in the new songs that U2 aren't merely rehashing the past but rather exploring it with fresh senses.
"Just as a comedian doesn't want to tell the same jokes over and over, we don't want to play the same songs the same way," says the Edge. "On the other hand, we've now come to a place where we're comfortable admitting we have our own style and we can do what we want with it. It's our sound. We made it, and we can break it if we want. Of course, we're the only ones that know how to put it back together again, too. All it takes is lots of arguing."

Despite adding a second storefront, the dining room is still small enough for you to order by smell. Subtle it is not, except for the Saturday night special of "Zia Maria's Homemade Tripe" ($13.95). (And for that, you best get there early, because the take-out customers are apt to nab it all.)
But don't let that special throw you off; this is indeed a seafood restaurant, in which veal, chicken, and the like are just menu tokens. In fact, your first 10 minutes here will likely mirror those spent at a micro-bistro, soaking up light, fruity olive oil with crusty, dense white bread. Check out what everyone else is having while you wait. It all looks good, but the aroma is even more superb.
My favorite of the appetizers was the "Calamari Avellino" ($9.95), rings of offshore squid cooked tender in a fine tomato sauce. I liked it so well I borrowed some for my "Polipo Ovi" ($12.95), a ridiculously large octopus appetizer with caramelized onions on top and salad underneath. Here you get a whole animal, whereas a lot of restaurants might give you just three tentacles. (I don't think the owners pound it on rocks with a wooden mallet, as they would in Italy. They probably just boil it a little, then grill it up quickly for a nice char.) My only complaint: it could use a sauce. If not the marinara or the optional fra diavolo (hot pepper) from the calamari, then perhaps the melted butter from a special appetizer of steamer clams ($10.95), which were a smidge sandy, but plump and sweet as you please.
"Escargo" ($10.95) were not off the boat, since these are vineyard snails. But the restaurant has had a new idea for their preparation: mix them with mushrooms and tomatoes and present them on toast, like bruschetta.
If you didn't order the octopus appetizer, you'll have plenty of room left to overwhelm yourself with any of several entrées. Lucky you. The grilled misto platter ($24.95) gives you a whole squid shell — about half the size of the octopus — plus a lobster tail, shrimp, and real sea scallops. All feature crosshatch grill marks and a salad.

Focus on Funds
Paulson Gold Fund Said to Lose 27% Last Month: Bloomberg
Two anonymous sources tell Kelly Bit of Bloomberg News that John Paulson's Gold Fund slumped 27% during gold's April rout, a loss that reportedly brings the fund's year-to-date loss to 47%.
The drop occurred alongside a nearly 8% loss in the price of gold and nearly 9% in the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) during April, a decline of more than 20% in Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) and nearly 24% in Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ).
All of the gold share classes slumped last month except for Paulson's Recovery Fund, which makes bets on investments designed to benefit from a long-term economic advance, the person said. Investors can choose between gold- and dollar- denominated versions of most of the firm's funds.
The firm reiterated in a letter to clients yesterday that gold stocks' current valuations are at historic lows and offer considerable upside, the person said. Paulson has said gold is the best protection against currency debasement and inflation, a sentiment echoed earlier this month by Paul Singer's Elliott Management Corp. ...
Dollar shares of the Recovery Fund, Paulson's best- performing strategy this year, rose 6.6 percent in April and 22 percent in 2013, the person said. The fund gained because of its stakes in insurance and asset-management companies, the firm wrote in the letter, according to the person. The strategy had $1.7 billion in assets.

Irish Institution sign
Irish Institution Archive Collection, NGI ArchiveIn 1853 Dublin saw the Great Exhibition of art which was almost single-handedly financed by the industrialist William Dargan. Following this the Dargan Committee was established to commemorate, in some permanent way, the munificence of Dargan. Agreeing that an Irish National Gallery would be a fitting testimonial for Dargan, the committee donated £5,000 to the Irish Institution, an organisation set up to acquire paintings and gather funds to open a gallery. They did this partially through holding events such as the exhibition advertised in the sign above.

text: I can't say a whole lot about this one. I sat at my friend's house for an hour as we put this thing together. It was LEGO and largely well done. No big surprises other than the difficulty it was to put some of the aft areas together. The instructions are a little vague in places so we had to reference the box photos. I'm not a huge LEGO person and this was HIS baby. I'm pretty much convinced that he bought this after not having been able to find the Hasbro version. It'll make due until he gets that one.

Muscle cramps are when a muscle gets tight (contracts) without you trying to do so. The muscle gets tight and does not relax. Cramps may involve all or part of one or more muscles.
The most commonly involved muscle groups are:
Cramps in the feet, hands, arms, abdomen, and along the rib cage are also very common.
Muscle cramps are common and may be stopped by stretching the muscle. The cramping muscle may feel hard or bulging.
Cramps - muscle
Muscle spasms are different than muscle twitches, which are covered in a separate article.
Muscle cramps are common and often occur when a muscle is overused or injured. Working out when you haven't had enough fluids (dehydration) or when you have low levels of minerals such as potassium or calcium can also make you more likely to have a muscle spasm.
Muscle cramps can occur while you play tennis or golf, bowl, swim, or do any other exercise.
They can also be triggered by:
If you have a muscle cramp, stop your activity and try stretching and massaging the muscle.
Heat will relax the muscle when the spasm begins, but ice may be helpful when the pain has improved.
If the muscle is still sore, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can help with pain. If the muscle cramps are severe, your health care provider can prescribe other medicines.
The most common cause of muscle cramps during sports activity is not getting enough fluids. Often, drinking water will ease the cramping. However, water alone doesn't always help. Salt tablets or sports drinks, which also replenish lost minerals, can be helpful.
Other tips for relieving muscle cramps:
Call your doctor or nurse if your muscle cramps:
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history, such as:
Blood tests may be done to check for the following:
Pain medicines may be prescribed.

ICTAC 2013 is the 10th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, the latest in a series founded by the International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations University (UNU-IIST). ICTAC 2013 will bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research and to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development. The other main purpose is to promote cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from developing and industrial countries, as in the mandate of the United Nations University.
ICTAC 2013 calls for regular research papers on theories of computation and programming, foundations of software engineering, and on formal techniques in software design and verification; short papers on recent work or proposals of challenges in new programming paradigms such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Cloud Computing and Social Networks; and papers about tools that support formal techniques for software modeling, system design and verification.
The topical areas of the conference include, but not limited to
Automata theory and formal languages;
Principles and semantics of programming languages;
Theories of concurrency, mobility and reconfiguration;
Logics and their applications;
Software architectures and their models, refinement and verification;
Relationship between software requirements, models and code;
Program static and dynamic analysis and verification;
Software specification, refinement, verification and testing;
Model checking and theorem proving;
Models of object and component systems;
Coordination and feature interaction;
Integration of theories, formal methods and tools for engineering computing systems;
Service-oriented architectures: models and development methods;
Models of concurrency, security, and mobility;
Theory of distributed, grid and cloud computing;
Real-time, embedded, hybrid and cyber-physical systems;
Type and category theory in computer science;
Models for learning and education;
Case studies, theories, tools and experiments of verified systems;
Domain-specific modeling and technology: examples, frameworks and experience.
Challenges and foundations in the environmental modeling and monitoring, healthcare, and disaster management.
As for the past editions, it is the plan that the proceedings of ICTAC 2013 will be published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and will be available at the colloquium. A special issue of a journal with extended version of selected papers from ICTAC 2013 is under negotiation. Submissions to the colloquium must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. Submissions can be Regular Papers, Short Papers or Tool Papers. Short papers can present recent or ongoing work or discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and have not been thoroughly evaluated yet. Papers should be written in English. Regular Papers should not exceed 18 pages and Short Papers and tool papers should be between 5 and 10 pages in LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Papers must be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2013. Short papers and tool papers must contain clear reference to the background theories and techniques; and a tool paper must further provide a link to a webpage that contains a tutorial and demo of the tool. All queries should be sent to the e-mail address ictac2013@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
Last week, the Dutch Minister of Safety and Justice asked the Parliament of the Netherlands to pass a law allowing police to obtain warrants to do the following:
- Install malware on targets' private computers
- Conduct remote searches on local and foreign computers to collect evidence
- Delete data on remote computers in order to disable the accessibility of "illegal files."
Requesting assistance from the country where the targetted computer(s) were located would be "preferred" but possibly not required. These proposals are alarming, could have extremely problematic consequences, and may violate European human rights law. As if that wasn't troubling enough, lurking in this letter was a request for something more extreme:
- If the location of a particular computer cannot be determined, the Dutch police would be able to break in without ever contacting foreign authorities.
What would cause the "location of a particular computer" not to be determinable?
Courts are investigating the legality of a European Union regulation requiring biometric passports in Europe. Last month, the Dutch Council of State (Raad van State, the highest Dutch administrative court) asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to decide if the regulation requiring fingerprints in passports and travel documents violates citizens' right to privacy. The case entered the courts when three Dutch citizens were denied passports and another citizen was denied an ID card for refusing to provide their fingerprints. The ECJ ruling will play an important role in determining the legality of including biometrics in passports and travel documents in the European Union.
A new project aimed at "countering illegal use of the Internet" is making headlines this week. The project, dubbed CleanIT, is funded by the European Commission (EC) to the tune of more than $400,000 and, it would appear, aims to eradicate the Internet of terrorism.
European Digital Rights, a Brussels-based organization consisting of 32 NGOs throughout Europe (and of which EFF is a member), has recently published a leaked draft document from CleanIT.
On Thursday, the fifth and final European Union Parliamentary committee voted to reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). This signifies a major blow to ACTA, but its standing in the EU still comes down to the European Parliament vote scheduled during the first week of July. After this final vote decides the agreement's adoption in Europe, however, the future of ACTA for the rest of the signatory countries unfortunately remains cloudy.
Coders have never been more important to the security of the Internet. By identifying and disclosing vulnerabilities, coders are able to improve security for every user who depends on information systems for their daily life and work. Yet this week, European Parliament will debate a new draft of a vague and sweeping computer crime legislation that threatens to create legal woes for researchers who expose security flaws.

As negotiations over the U.S. fiscal cliff get down to details, they will become more arduous -- something that financial markets seem to be ignoring. The superficial appeal of proposals to limit tax expenditures, for example, will fade as the details become clearer.
Whether the negotiators can navigate the obstacles and still get a deal done before Dec. 31 remains an open question. Automatic tax increases and spending cuts are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of January.
On their face, proposals to raise revenue by limiting tax breaks enjoy unusual bipartisan support -- at least when they are described generically as "broadening the tax base and eliminating loopholes." Enacting legislation, though, requires much more than such platitudes, and therein lies the political difficulty.
Take the recent proposal to limit itemized deductions to a maximum of $50,000 a year. According to the Tax Policy Center, that would raise more than $700 billion over the coming decade, almost as much as the marginal-rate increases the Barack Obama administration is proposing for high-income taxpayers. Because median household income in the U.S. is also about $50,000, that level of allowable deductions strikes most people as extraordinarily generous, adding to its luster.
Perhaps more important, the proposal doesn't specify which deductions would be limited, but rather leaves that up to the individual. It thus reflects the new fundamental law of political economy: The vaguer the proposal, the better.

training 108.jpg What you talkin about
HAHA they do kinda have "what are you looking at you stupid human?" look
20130101_33.jpg She is nothing but fun!! That said, and I love my Chessies, if I wanted to do well in upper level field trials and that was my goal, I would have to go with the ever-reliable and easier to train lab. But who wants easy?20130101_33.jpg
I was not allowed to buy, or even look at the pups of the litter I found, the very first time. Until I passed the kitchen table interview. And they brought in an old snarling 13+yr old incontinent bitch to rest her drooling jowls on my knee for the whole time. It was 1997 in Stanbridge East Quebec. The first question they asked.
Why do you think you want a Chessie?
And it went from there.
I do think they have a bit of wild in them. Example, 3 weeks ago. I had 2 and my Brothers 1 Chessie at the family deer camp and our Dad had his Lab. 2 in the morning outside the wild dogs start up the baby cry howl in the distance. You know it? The Chessies gather at the door hackles scruffed and the pup Loco rumbeling low and they started into a group howl. Like fricken Wolves on the nature channel. It was actualy very cool. I mean the all roo and talk all the time all of them. But over the years I have seen maybe only a dozen true group howls. Outside the coydogs shut up, for the rest of the night, just shut up. And the Lab? She was under my Dads bunk and hid until daylight.
They are an odd, yellow eyed beast that will work with you, not for you.

When people ask me the difference between a Chesapeake & Lab, I usually explain that Chesapeakes are a more primitive breed. It's both good and bad that they never attained the popularity of Labs...good in that the breed hasn't changed that much and even one with what looks like a "nothing" pedigree will usually have the stuff to make a decent hunting dog. Good in that they aren't mass produced. But bad in that they're harder to find and definitely have a smaller gene pool and thus a higher rate of inherited problems like dysplasia.
Most of them are more territorial than Labs, but that is far different from aggression unless the dog isn't properly trained/socialized from a young age. Of the six I have now, the ones that I raised from birth are fine around anyone and other dogs; the ones that spent their formative years elsewhere are more reserved, and take truck guarding very seriously.
They learn the stare early: this pup is 12 wks. in the picture.

Lots of spot on feedback here ! Only thing I would add is when people call for training I tell them its not going to be a three month wonder. The ones that come in as a very young puppy tend to see me as their guy , and it takes time to assume their owner.

text: I have cross posted on another La site but someone in Lafayette needs to contact every sporting goods store in a 40 mile radius. This SOB has to purchase shells and hunting gear sometime and most of the gun stores have survellance cameras. There are 3 TV stations in Laffy and I bet they would all put the word out at their noon broadcast.

Come home to an Italian dinner. Enjoy turkey and rotini pasta – a hearty casserole!
Other shapes of similarly sized pasta also can be used in this casserole. Wagon wheels, mafalda (mini lasagna noodles) and penne will work well, too.
Larger pastas, such as lasagna noodles, work better in slow cookers because they can handle the long cooking times. Smaller pastas, such as rotini, perform better when cooked separately and stirred in at the end of cooking.

Bytemark, who host the web and mail server, have been listed by Spamhaus as being the originators of Spam email.
It looks like it is one user whose Virtual Machine on one IP has been compromised but Spamhaus have listed the whole of Bytemark's IP blocks.
It is rather unlikely that mail will work in any consistent way as most ISPs (including Bytemark themselves) check against Spamhaus so their own internal mail will bounce.
I have left them an urgent message and hopefully this will be sorted out before the end of the weekend but the situation may persist into Monday 17th.

Sunday afternoon I had the privilege of observing the final breeding of GRHRCH Gator Point's Magnum Gentle Ben MH QAA to GRHRCH Baby Blue's One Hot Moma MH "Diva" at Greene, Lewis and Associates in Folsom, La. Dr. Barry Strickland did the surgery and placed one half of the thawed semen into each of Diva's rosey pink uterine horns. This is the almost exact procedure from last year, using GRHRCH Dakota's Cajun Roux's frozen semen that produced 13 beautiful pups.
Ben has produced so many talented Chocolate dogs over the years and it saddens me that this will be the last of his breedings. I had this privilege as Mandy Cieslinski, Diva's owner, was running Cajun HRC's test that weekend and she allowed me to take care of the breeding. Diva is one of the most talented dogs that Ben has been bred to and is a love of a house guest to boot!
Mandy's taking over the Gator Point name and blood line gives Cleo and me so much pleasure in continuing the program that we spent the last 31 years building. Mandy is so dedicated and talented and we know she will take the line to even greater heights.

sorry for the OT post....
Ames has some die-cast WWII planes about the same scale as Battle Squads, just a touch larger. They're sold under the brand Air Signatures, I'm pretty sure. The detail is close to the Battle Squads planes. The cockpit has a decently detailed pilot molded into the seat. They had a pretty goos assortment - Focke-Wulf, P51, P38, and a couple others for which I don't recall the model designations. They also appear to have 2 separate stands, one that's an inch or less tall and one that's similar to the AF stands.
The downside is they're $15 each. At $10, I'd have probably snagged one of each. At $15, I'm not sure. But I just wanted to let y'all know about them in case anyone has an Ames and collects WWII planes.
If you don't want to spend that much and just want to get some decent planes for your young kids, check out this post.

Power to discuss war crimes and genocide
Friday, April 4, 2008, noon · Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall
Posted March 27, 2008; 01:12 p.m.
Harvard University scholar and journalist Samantha Power will present a talk titled "War Crimes and Genocide Today: What Can One Person Do?" at noon Friday, April 4, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall (moved from 16 Robertson Hall).
Samantha Power is the Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard. Her new book "Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World" is a biography of a U.N. envoy killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2003.
Power's book "A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction and the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general nonfiction. Her article for The New Yorker on the horrors in Darfur, Sudan, won the 2005 National Magazine Award for best reporting.
Power became a foreign policy columnist at Time magazine last year. From 1993 to 1996, she covered the wars in the former Yugoslavia for U.S. News and World Report, The Boston Globe and The New Republic. She remains a working journalist, reporting from places such as Burundi, East Timor, Kosovo, Rwanda, Sudan and Zimbabwe, and contributing to The Atlantic, The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
