After months of intense debates and protests, the Obama administration has finally decided the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline project: It's not going to happen anytime soon.
The proposed pipeline would have moved about 700,000 barrels of oil-like bitumen from the Alberta oil sands to Texas refineries each day, and oil companies and their allies lobbied hard for it — including with an ad blitz that ran during Republican presidential debates. But, in a victory for environmental activists and parts of the president's base, the State Department has rejected the permit for its construction (though it has left the door open for its backers to reapply).
Is the decision a boon for the environment or a slap at an already weak economy? Let's separate fact from fiction.
1. The pipeline would have been catastrophic for global climate change.
For opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline, the issue was one of simple math: The project would have facilitated increased production of Canadian oil sands, and a gallon of gasoline derived from oil sands produces 5 to 15 percent greater greenhouse gas emissions than a gallon of gasoline made from a typical barrel of conventional oil. Also, they noted, Canada's oil sands are the second-largest petroleum deposit in the world, and if burned completely, it would have been "game over" for the planet's fight against climate change, in the words of NASA scientist James Hansen, a leading climate specialist.
That is all technically true — but it misses the point. The additional emissions generated by replacing conventional oil with the crude that the pipeline could have carried would have been no more than a small fraction of 1 percent of total annual U.S. greenhouse gas pollution. Meanwhile, it would take more than 1,000 years to burn all the oil sands, even if extraction were ramped up threefold from its current pace. The fate of the climate will be determined long before that.
2. The pipeline would have reduced U.S. reliance on oil from the Middle East.
Worries about dependence on Middle Eastern oil have long animated U.S. energy policy — and the Keystone XL pipeline would have transported almost as much oil each year as the United States currently imports annually from Saudi Arabia.
But U.S. vulnerability to turmoil in the Middle East is linked to how much oil we consume, not where we buy it from. The price of oil is set on world markets: When convulsions in Libya sent the price of crude up 30 percent last year, prices for Canadian heavy oil (similar to what is produced from oil sands) rose by nearly 55 percent.
Some pipeline proponents also pointed out that Canadian oil currently sells at a discount compared with oil supplies from the rest of the world. Keystone XL, however, wouldn't have led Canada to start offering greater amounts of crude at deep discounts — instead, Canadian producers would have gained more leverage and would have been able to sell their oil at the world price.
3. The pipeline would have created hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
During the debate over the Keystone project, the oil industry rolled out a series of studies claiming that pipeline construction would create 20,000 temporary jobs in the United States and that lower oil prices (they didn't say exactly how much lower) resulting from the new crude supplies would create as many as 250,000 more jobs across the country over the long term. These numbers were cited repeatedly by politicians who supported the pipeline.
However, the first number refers to "person-years" of employment — a single job that lasts two years is counted twice; and in any case, it pales compared with the overall U.S. employment challenge. The second number is more impressive but relies on an overly optimistic estimate of how much the pipeline would have reduced global oil prices. The administration's rejection of the pipeline will probably add less than a dollar a barrel to the long-term price of oil, hardly a decisive factor when prices are already around $100 per barrel.
Of course, there's little question that more Canadian oil production would trim world oil prices slightly and thus help the U.S. economy. But the net impact of the Keystone XL pipeline would have been smaller than its proponents claim.
4. The pipeline would have set back the green economy.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, a key group opposing the Keystone XL project, claimed that the pipeline "is at odds with millions of clean energy jobs." Others have advanced more subtle variations: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), writing to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton late last year, pitted pipeline construction against clean energy, asserting that "proponents of this pipeline would be wiser to invest instead in job-creating clean energy projects, like renewable power, energy efficiency or advanced vehicles and fuels."
Clean energy is important, but these claims are unjustified. Entrepreneurs weren't waiting on the sidelines to see what happened with Keystone XL before pouring money into new technologies for biofuels or solar power. Nor were motorists putting off the choice between a Prius and a Hummer until the State Department weighed in. The future of the green economy will depend on whether the U.S. government can consistently penalize dirty energy across the economy — rather than in isolated spots such as this pipeline — as well as promote greater energy efficiency through regulation and offer direct support to sustainable-energy innovation.
5. If we don't build the pipeline and buy their oil, Canada will sell it to China.
So what? World oil prices depend on how much oil is produced — not who sells what to whom. Whether the United States or China buys oil at the world price from Canada or Brazil or Saudi Arabia or Nigeria won't affect U.S. economic fortunes. Some argue that buying oil from Canada rather than elsewhere would shrink the yawning U.S. trade deficit, since Canadians are more likely than others to spend their petro-profits in the United States. But Canada gets richer no matter whether it sells its oil to American or Chinese consumers, and its newfound wealth spills over to the U.S. economy regardless. What ultimately matters to our economy is not whether the United States or China buys oil from Canada — it's whether Canada produces and sells that oil at all.
The fate of the pipeline will be of limited consequence to long-term U.S. energy security or climate change (though the decision to reject it will probably be ugly for U.S.-Canada relations). But the Keystone decision ultimately became far more about symbolism than substance. It's a shame that so much attention was diverted from things that matter more.

I am finally back on the net, stupid AT&T @home bickering. My wireless router is being really stupid, it appears to be setting its netmask wrong when it gets an address via DHCP, and I can't just set that and pull the rest via DHCP, so I thouight I would need to use a wired connection, which would suck since my cablemodem and router are not conveniently located.
I accidentally plugged my cablemodem into one of the lan ports instead of the wan port on the router, and all of the sudden it worked. Even stranger, my system is pulling an IP directly from AT&T, not through the routers builtin nat. It looks like the lan ports and the wireless are all on oneside of the systems interlink (calling it fabric would imply that the product had some sort of quality). I need to sit down and check the DHCP packets and see if AT&T is giving out malformed DHCP packets, or if linksys's firmware is just entirely broken. At this point, I am going to guess both 8-(

The economies of other countries are dragging us down. You do realize that Europe went all in for austerity and is now going through a double dip. At least we did not take that route in the short term to make things worse here.
Oh, too bad you have to purchase steel shot. There is always bismuth.
Regulate your reloading?, please provide us with a link to evidence to support this.
So, you want the government to control gasoline prices? Sorry, but the market is doing that and a barrel of oil is never going to be less than $75 again. Deal with it. It is called supply and demand and something the right wing supports except regarding gas and then they want to blame the government.
Really, tax your company. Again, please provide a link to any evidence to support this. What new corporate tax? There is certainty now, everything should be getting better. It was all that uncertainty causing problems, right?
Right, bed fellows with the UN. That's a good one. Please provide the evidence.
Tough times, certainly not worse than four years ago when the bottom fell out. Stock market is way up. Many thousands of private sectors jobs created. Federal taxes are as low as they ever have been., etc.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Authorities are investigating as a homicide the death of a man whose body was found in a Lafayette County creek on Sunday.
McKenzie Darrell Frierson, 27, of Oxford, had last been seen on January 31. An autopsy on Monday confirmed his identity.
The body was reportedly found by youngsters exploring the creek off Old Sardis Road west of Oxford. Lafayette County Coroner Rocky Kennedy, Lafayette County sheriff's officers and members of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation recovered the body, and the scene was scoured and documented for possible evidence.
Scott Mills, chief investigator for the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department, said that the cause of death is not being publicly released while the investigation continues.
Anyone with information concerning the disappearance and death of Frierson is encouraged to call the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department at (662) 234-6421 or Oxford-Lafayette County Crime Stoppers at (662) 234-TIPS (8477).
A $1,000 Crime Stopper reward is being offered, which Mills said is expected to increase in the near future, for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Frierson's killer(s).
Sheriff's Investigator Alan Wilburn said Frierson's death is the county's first homicide since the January 2010 killing of Frank Bowie on College Hill Switch Road. That death also remains under investigation.

Yen Rallies on G-7 Comments as U.S., Europe Stocks GainJoseph Ciolli and Lu Wang
The yen jumped as an official from the Group of Seven nations said the countries are concerned about volatility in Japan's currency. U.S. stocks advanced as investors dissected earnings reports and awaited President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech tonight.
The yen climbed 0.8 percent to 93.57 per dollar at 4 p.m. in New York, paring a gain of as much as 1.4 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.2 percent to 1,519.43, the highest level since November 2007 on a closing basis, and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index closed up 0.5 percent. Spain's 10-year bond yield fell 10 basis points to 5.32 percent. Industrial metals led commodities higher, while corn slid for an eighth day in its longest slump since 2010.
Japan's currency was higher against all 16 major peers after the G-7 official, who requested not to be further identified, said the group is concerned about excess moves in the yen and investors misinterpreted an earlier statement on exchange rates. The clarification came hours after the world's major industrial economies appeared to signal acceptance for a weaker Japanese currency so long as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government didn't actively pursue devaluation.
"It was a vague, bland statement at first," Joe Manimbo, a market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions, a unit of Western Union Co., said by telephone from Washington, D.C. "When we got the subsequent clarification, it showed officials were really concerned about the pace of yen weakness, which they seem to see as a potential threat to global growth."
Yen Watch
The yen has weakened 18 percent against the dollar since its 2012 high in February amid speculation of further stimulus measures to bolster Japan's economy. The yen slumped against the dollar yesterday as Haruhiko Kuroda, a possible contender for Bank of Japan governor, said additional monetary easing could be justified this year. U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard said she supports Japan's effort to end deflation after the yen slid for four straight months through the end of January.
The yen climbed 0.5 percent to 125.79 per euro. The Dollar Index, a gauge of the U.S. currency against six major peers, slipped 0.3 percent to 80.06. The pound weakened against 13 of 16 major peers as U.K. inflation last month held at the highest since May.
G-7 Confusion
G-7 finance ministers and central-bank governors said in the earlier statement released in London, "we reaffirm that our fiscal and monetary policies have been and will remain oriented towards meeting our respective domestic objectives using domestic instruments, and that we will not target exchange rates." They will join officials from the G-20, which includes the G-7 and emerging markets such as Brazil, China and India, in Moscow on Feb. 15-16.
The yen pared gains after a U.K. official said the G-7 statement on exchange rates today is not about an individual country or currency. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Officially, the most important countries are not singling out Japan," Douglas Borthwick, a managing director and head of foreign exchange at Chapdelaine FX in New York, said in a telephone interview. "People understand that if anyone's going to have their feet to the fire right now in terms of currency weakness, it's going to be Japan. But it's very hard for most countries to throw stones because they're all living in glass houses."
Among U.S. stocks, Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. rallied 8.8 percent after raising its forecast in anticipation of a jump in same-store sales. Avon Products Inc. jumped 20 percent as adjusted profit topped analysts' estimates.
Facebook Inc. sank 3.2 percent as Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. cut its recommendation. Coca-Cola Co. slipped 2.7 percent after global volume sales missed analysts' estimates.
Earnings Season
Earnings have exceeded the average analyst estimate at about 74 percent of the 354 companies in the S&P 500 that released results so far in the earnings season, and 66 percent have beaten sales estimates, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The S&P 500 has rallied almost 7 percent in 2013 as U.S. lawmakers reached a budget compromise. The gauge is about 3 percent below its record reached in October 2007. The index has more than doubled since bottoming in March 2009 as the Federal Reserve conducted three rounds of bond-buying to lower interest rates and boost economic growth.
Obama tonight will propose spending on infrastructure, clean energy and education, according to an administration official briefed on the speech. His argument, directed at congressional Republicans amid a battle over fiscal policy, is that fostering economic growth is the best strategy to narrow a federal budget gap that has exceeded $1 trillion in each of the last four years.
European Markets
Today's gain trimmed the Stoxx 600's drop from this year's high on Jan. 29 to 1.1 percent. The volume of shares changing hands in Stoxx 600 companies was 11 percent lower than the 30-day average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Barclays Plc climbed 8.6 percent as the U.K. bank said it will eliminate 3,700 jobs to reduce costs after posting its first full-year loss in more than two decades. L'Oreal SA, the world's largest cosmetics maker, rallied 3.8 percent as earnings increased.
Finmeccanica SpA, Italy's biggest defense company, plunged 7.3 percent as two people familiar with the matter said Chief Executive Officer Giuseppe Orsi was arrested amid a probe of possible bribes paid to win the sale of 12 helicopters to India.
Barclays Cuts
Spanish and Italian bonds advanced as the two nations auctioned a total of 14 billion euros ($18.8 billion) of bills. The yield on Spain's two-year notes slipped 10 basis points to 2.69 percent, and the rate on similar-maturity Italian debt lost eight basis points to 1.66 percent.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index was little changed and is up 0.4 percent for the year. That compares with a 5.6 percent gain in 2013 for the MSCI World Index of developed nations. Sixty-one percent of companies in the MSCI gauge for emerging markets have reported quarterly profit that missed estimates, almost twice the rate for developed nations, Bloomberg data show.
South Korea's Kospi Index closed 0.3 percent lower, erasing a 0.4 percent advance, after North Korea tested a nuclear weapon. Poland's WIG20 Index lost 1.1 percent as Telekomunikacja Polska SA, the nation's largest phone company, tumbled 28 percent after cutting its dividend proposal for the second time in four months. India's Sensex Index jumped 0.5 percent, snapping an eight-day rout. Indonesia's benchmark gauge jumped 1 percent. Markets in China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam are shut for Lunar New Year.
Nickel and lead added more than 1 percent for the biggest gains in the S&P GSCI Index of commodities, while sugar, wheat and cotton retreated. Oil rose 0.5 percent to $97.51 per barrel in New York.
Corn dropped 0.9 percent for an eighth-straight decline in Chicago, capping the longest losing streak since March 2010, as prospects improved for crops in South America. Soybeans slumped into a bear market. Corn and soybean growing areas in Argentina may receive moderate to heavy rainfall from storms beginning Feb. 16, easing dry conditions, DTN said today in a forecast.

There's been some interesting dialogue lately regarding RTF's position around minimum requirements necessary for posting of puppies for sale.
At this time, a hip and eye clearance is required for the retriever puppy ads. With time, RTF may take a more firm approach around EIC and CNM as requirements. RTF does not require OFA #'s, CERF #'s, etc. by design. It is the due diligence of the buyer that guarantees these things to be robust and accurate. RTF can never take the place of solid research when one makes a buying decision.
I and RTF does not have the time, nor the desire to become a fact-checker, or any sort of confirmation body that advertised claims by sellers are accurate. RTF can not and will not take on that sort of liability position. Buyers and sellers are responsible for making good on their commitments.
If users are abusing RTF, by posting false/fraudulent information, we do want to know this. Folks should not have the privelege of using RTF to reach other retriever enthusiasts if they are cheating and stealing. I want RTF to be no part of any such fraudulent activities and will strive to keep those abusers off the board. (and yes, we have had a couple deadbeats over the years who have unfortunately "stolen" from others on here and are now gone.)
RTF does not prohibit any seller from advertising positive points, such as genetic clearances, including, but not limited to CNM/EIC clearances. The smart advertiser puts this information out there to differentiate their pups from other ads.
Please do not begrudge RTF when an advertister may be not as forthcoming with information that suits your tastes. RTF will never be a one-size-fits-all resource. If you find that a seller is not being forthcoming with information, please do not begrudge me, Vicky, or anyone else on RTF for not making it easier for you to find the perfect puppy.
We recently had one complaintant who had very high expectations of RTF and the kinds of checks and balances, and efforts that we would put forth towards the integrity, accuracy, and inclusiveness of all clearances possible. I hope that most of you will realize that the classifieds are a free service from which we hope you all gain some value.
For anyone falsifying claims, advertising clearances that don't exist, promising to send merchandise after depositing checks that never get sent, etc.:
...your ads can and will be deleted and your ability to post on RTF can and will be eliminated.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Please do not begrudge me for not making your attempts to find EIC and CNM clearances on advertised dogs easier to get. There are sellers out there happy to differentiate their pups/dogs with these clearances and will readily provide them. If someone's not responding to your inquiries according to your expectations or timeline....move on! There are lots of other puppies out there....many of which are right here on RTF classifieds!
Thanks for reading. Thanks for making RTF what it is.
And for those of you about to hear a certain complaintant tell you what a crummy attitude I have about EIC and CNM, you will now understand where I stand. If you disagree, I apologize. Can't satisfy everyone I guess.
I'm just happy to still have a day job in this economy and kinda have to spend a good chunk of time doing that instead of tracking down EIC clearances for John Doe so that he finds his buddy the best puppy and doesn't look bad.
Honestly, I'm kind of scratching my head a bit, wondering what some folks think I'm supposed to do to clear the world of genetic defects thru RTF. "Irresponsible" is not a way that I like to be described with regards to my efforts around RTF.
P.S. if I were buying my perfect puppy, he/she would have both parents: OFA/CERF, EIC CLEAR, CNM CLEAR, National Titles on both parents...all clearance numbers would be posted and available on public websites.

So today the Grundy-frogs had a very lazy morning of nothingness, followed by an afternoon adventure to a place with clowns and cars and neon boxes - Blacklight 3D Golf! With N-Frog being so amazingly skilled as he is, he won the game. I came second and poor E-Frog finished last - and then got mardy. :D
We then decided to walk up and down the mountain for some exercise to prevent us becoming "american-like" - it killed. I hurt - lots. o_O
We had HUUUUGENORMOUS steaks for dinner, with blue cheese stuffs and then some more champagne to top it all off. It has been a beaut day
Tune in tomorrow for Chapter 6: Frogs go our separate ways.
P.S. Please enjoy the pictures of E-Frog sleeping. :) (he still doesn't know I took them) ;)
N.B. This is the OFFICIAL travelpod of the Grundy-frogs, and copyright is in place. So to all the slimy toads out there - neeeer, get your own travelpod.

10. Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Yes, it's a mess - but a gleeful mess! Never mind the stellar cast (Dafoe, Depp, Hayek, Trejo, Banderas, Iglesias, Rourke, Mendes and Marin) - this is just a huge bowl of fun.
One of two 2011-ers (in the UK at least) on the list, I've already reviewed it here. Suffice to say that this is a suitably Coen-ish re-imagining of a classic western tale.
Reuniting Ed Harris with Viggo Mortenson post-A History of Violence, this is an underappreciated minor classic of recent years.
6. The Propostion
And now to the Aussie outback. Startling and impressive, with a tight script from Nick Cave, a lovely score and some fine perfomances, not least from the usually hit-and-miss Ray Winstone.
5. Rango
Reviewed in full here, this is pehaps the most unusual entry on the list - a hallucinogenic animated Western featuring rodents and reptiles? OK...
4. Kill Bill vol. II
Is this really a western? I reckon so, and it's a good one. Tarantino is expected to release a 'proper' western (though he calls it a 'southern'), Django Unchained, in the near future. We waited with baited breath.
3. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Didn't receive universal critical acclaim, on release (nor commercial success) but I loved it. Great performances from both Brad Pitt and the underrated Casey Affleck.
2. No Country for Old Men
No, it's not number one - but nearly is. Thoroughly deserving of its critical and commercial success, only slightly marred for me by the inconclusive ending
1. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
One of those films that you see without expectations which takes you completely by surprise. And Tommy Lee Jones - who Lord knows has done his fair share of shit - is fabulous behind and in front of the camera.
So, no Open Range, no There Will Be Blood - did I mention that comments are welcome?
Disclaimer: I haven't seen any of the following, hence their absence: The Good, The Bad, The Weird; Sukiyaki Western: Django; Serenity (sorry!); Blueberry; Tears of the Black Tiger and Meek's Cutoff.

Christmas greetings from the Reedy family,
Cameo, Colorado, ca. 1913-1919
(click to enlarge)
Postmarked at Cameo, Colorado, Eva M. Reedy mailed this card to Alice Fox of Osceola, Nebraska. The year is illegible.
According to the very interesting history of the Grand Valley Diversion Dam, Oliver T. Reedy assumed the position of Supervising Engineer in charge of construction on June 27, 1913. Work on the Grand Valley Project went on for several years, and Reedy wrote an article about it in 1919. [Reedy, O.T. "The Construction of the Grand River Roller Crest Dam." Reclamation Record (August 1919): 374-378.]
I bought the Reedy greeting card, along with some other items, at an estate sale a few years ago. Watch for more on this estate sale purchase next week.
I'm not related to the Reedy family, nor to Alice Fox, original recipient of the postcard. If you are, please contact me via the Comments feature at the end of this post. Include your email address for a personal response. Comments containing your email address will not be published.

Steamed Radish Cake (蒸 罗卜糕 )
Hi, i guess many of us here are very familiar with this kuih, you can find this in food stalls and in dim sum restaurants. Some prefer it steamed and some prefer it pan fried. It's also very similar to the steamed yam kuih which i believe that many of us like eating too. I like to make this too during chinese new year though i dont think it has any auspicious meaning associated with this kuih. Made a small portion here in a 6"x 6" square tin. I copied down the recipe somewhere many years ago , i cant remember where as i didnt write down its source but i think most likely from a magazine and along the way, i adjusted some here and there to get the right texture.
1 medium sized local radish ( sorry i forgot to weigh my radish), peeled and shredded, squeeze out excess water
80gms dried shrimps, soaked and cleaned, coarsely chopped
1 chinese sausage, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 shallots
pepper and salt to taste
some spring onions
some fried shallots
chopped red chillies
1. Pour some cooking oil into the wok and saute garlic, shallots and half of the dried shrimps( 40gms ) till aromatic and put in the chinese sausage. Season with pinch of salt and pepper. Dish up and leave aside.
2. Saute the remaining half of the dried shrimps ( 40gm) till aromatic for topping. Remove from fire and leave aside.
To make the batter:
150gm rice flour
2 tsp cornflour
400ml water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1. Mix all the ingredients for batter in a large bowl , stir well to mix and sieve the mixture into another bowl.
2. Return the pre fried dried shrimps and sausage mixture to the wok , add the shredded radish and pour in the batter and cook on low fire till the batter slightly thickens, roughly about a minute. Keep stirring the mixture so that the bottom wont get burnt. When the batter begins to thicken ( you will see probably one or two bubbling ) , remove from fire . Stir well and pour into the steaming tin.
3. Steam for about 40-45 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in tin, sprinkle with the remaining dried shrimps, chopped spring onion, fried shallots and chilli. Cut into pieces.
( if any leftovers, you can put in the fridge and pan fry it the next day)
I am submitting this to the Aspiring Bakers #12 - Traditional Kueh ( October 2011 ) hosted by Small Small Baker.

Radish and shrimps: the best that you can put in cake. What a stunning recipe.ReplyDelete
I made the pumpkin version recently and it turned out really mushy. Do you have any advise for a novice in kuehs like me?ReplyDelete
~Jayne (www.tenacioustinkering.com)
hi jayne, mushy as in very wet? i'm not too sure as i've never tried pumpkins before but it should be similar to using radish. Maybe you can use about 200gms of shredded pumpkins and squeeze out excess water. The steps would be similar to the above recipe. Cook the batter till thick on low med heat but keep stirring all the time otherwise the batter will stick to the wok, should just takes few minutes, maybe 1-2 min. Then pour into your steaming tin.ReplyDelete

Yeah, the modern day part feels very much like a sore thumb.Originally Posted by MR. DADDYPANTS
I thought the ship was blown up in his second episode. Still, it'd be a waste to lose that set.They'd better have Jack's ship i the new show. losing that would be a waste.
Yeah, they really should do a little crossover action, makes sense really. "Torchwood" is also an anagram of "Doctor Who", which is why the name was used. Doesn't sound very sci-fi though, reminds me of one of those teen dramas.Though I do think it's a shame there'll be no crossover between Who and Torchwood. I think I'd sooner have had Torchwood be a pre-watershed show that could tie in and crossover. The Torchwood organisation sounds a hell of a lot more exciting than U.N.I.T.
I think we're supposed to take that the TARDIS is getting them to the right place by psychic means, reading what the Doctor wants and how much he wants it. Or maybe now that there's just the 1 time lord, there's also probably just the 1 TARDIS left and without those other TARDISes flying around space and dimensions, it has less trouble navigating the universe.Changing tack - A point I thought of is if the TARDIS is a bit broken as we know it is with the chameleon circuit stuck so the outside always looks like a 1950's police telephone box, and the thing keeps ending up in odd places because the time travel mechanisms are a bit broken and unreliable too, how can the doctor keep finding his way back to the exact same estate Rose lives on? And in the same time era. That's a little incongruous. Yeah I know, I'm nitpicking. But repeated viewing does that to you.
This is just a guess, but I think Clive was meant not to be a major plotpoint, but to represent the obsessive Dr Who fans, and this new series shrugging off any anchors from them which would otherwise weigh them down. It did seem like an odd thing to dump though, could have used it again and again throughout, maybe even having him bother Rose and her circle, or the Doctor and Rose travel to the 22nd century and find that his legacy has built up into a far more vast conspiracy cult.Like Clive from season one episode one, why introduce him as a guy obsessed with the doctor and gatherer of all that data on the doctor only to then have him killed off in the second half of the episode? And if in fact he wasn't killed, because we don't see him after the Auton aims the gun and fires, why has Rose not thought to go back to him for more info about the Doctor? Considering how mysterious the doc's being with her about his past. Clive is the one character besides Rose who really knows anything about the Doctor. Just seems odd to have gone to all the trouble of creating Clive and that whole mass of data in the shed at the bottom of the garden, then deliberately have him there to be killed by the Auton outside the department store. what was all that about? Unless that data Clive collated is going to be used against the Doctor at some future point.
The Master was dealt with in the TV-movie here in the US aired on Fox back in '96, he was sucked into the Eye of Harmony that was in the TARDIS while trying to steal the Doctor's remaining lives for himself. And thus died Eric Robert's career... er, I mean "The Master".In the old show one of the returning foes was The Master. Who always managed to evade the Doctor when it came to being aprehended. I don't remember now if The Master was ever dealt with finally.
Damn, with a little research I look like a real Dr Who fan! I did actually watch the Fox TV movie though back when it aired.

2009 No new dialogue from Niko in L&D
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 02:10 PM MDT | By Slim Trashman
MTV Multiplayer got in contact with Rockstar's vice president of product development, Jeronimo Barrera, inquiring whether we'll hear any new lines from GTA IV's protagonist in the game's first of two episodes.
"Hell no!"
Niko shows up in the background, whispered about by another character as a "Slavic motherf—-r." He pops up in "Lost and Damned" in a recreation of an early "GTA IV" mission that had served as the introduction of Niko to major supporting character Playboy X. This time, the player is controlling "Lost and Damned" protagonist Johnny Klebitz. Niko's essentially muscle along for a drug deal that, if you played "GTA IV," you know is going to go sour.
Niko's lines in that "Lost and Damned" mission and the unspecified number of others "GTA IV" missions that are played from a different perspective in this episode are repurposed from the original game.
The article goes on to discuss how voice of Niko Bellic, Michael Hollick, had expressed disappointment with the pay for the job to The New York Times, and how this may have affected the relationship between Hollick and Rockstar, thus resulting in the "Hell no!" response.
You can check out the article here: 'Hell No' - No New Lines For Niko Bellic in 'Grand Theft Auto' Expansion

I'll preface this by saying that I don't give a shite about apps. There are a lot of apps available for Windows Phone 7 though
I've been using a Windows Phone 7 device for the past 3 weeks and have had a good experience with it. It might be the best mobile operation system out there IMO. Everything flows so well and it is smooth as shite. I've tried my darndest to make it lag and it just doesn't. I would recommend it to anyone who is new to a smart phone because it's very user friendly and just "works"
Also the on-screen keyboard is the best I've ever used on any phone
However, the OS is extremely limited and it drives me crazy sometimes. Zune is needed to add items to the device; no way to search for files; web browser has no Forward button; can't turn off haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons (at least on the HTC Arrive); not many options in the camera menu; can't backup texts; SkyDrive reduces the quality of photos and you can't download them back to the device; and other shite that irks me that I can't think of
I'm an original Windows Mobile fanboy and I was pissed Microsoft completely scrapped Windows Mobile 6.5 so
I don't know if the wireless charging is a great idea to sell the phone with. It just means it will be a less efficient charge which in turn means longer charge time. I'd rather put in the extra 2-3 seconds to plug it in and get a faster charge.
So instead of te phone being attached to a long cord that you can move around and use while charging you have to lay it on a pad basically rendering it useless whole charging.
I'd love to try it out for a week or 2. But the S3 is just too awesome to get rid of at this point.

Yes, yes, yes! As an unconventional schooler myself, I can attest that my years in traditional school were simply torture (and I went to an elite private school that wasn't supposed to have these problems). Raising children in a dictatorship is hardly a way to develop young questioning minds, and I am so thankful for having computers, the Internet and a rich home life to keep me thinking and growing. Without them, I don't know how I would have survived -- let alone learn and grow -- all these years.

During June 2 Class Day festivities, Princeton's class of 2008 presented keynote speaker Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," with "The Understandable Vanity Award." The trophy consisted of a drawing of the comedian giving the thumbs-up sign in front of Nassau Hall -- and a mirror. "I've never seen anything more beautiful," Colbert raved as he gazed at his image.

Seniors celebrate achievements and share laughs at Class Day
Posted June 2, 2008; 04:07 p.m.
Bathed in sunshine and dressed in their new class jackets, members of the class of 2008 saluted their accomplishments and enjoyed many moments of laughter on Monday, June 2, at Princeton's Class Day ceremony.
Humorous addresses kept the audience in smiles throughout the event. (Photo: John Jameson)
The soon-to-be graduates and the friends and family who joined them on Cannon Green also delighted in the remarks of Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," who delivered the keynote address.
President Shirley M. Tilghman told the seniors, "Today you have gathered to affirm the ties of friendship and shared experience that unite you as a class."
President Shirley M. Tilghman welcomed the class members to their new status as alumni, giving a symbolic "key to the campus" to alumni class president Alana Arnold. (Photo: Brian Wilson)
Senior class president Tom Haine said standing on Cannon Green made him reflect on the University's centuries of history and the prominence of its legacy. "We have been living in the shadows of giants here at Princeton," he said. "Great heroes of the past, right on this ground, fought, walked, prayed, learned and peered out on a troubled world in need of a few good men and women."
He listed some of the famous graduates of Princeton, saying, "History echoes with their exploits and is prepared to record ours, may we be worthy of such attentions and to stand in such company. Some people say college is the best time of your life, and I disagree respectfully. It may well have been the best so far, but with the intellectual foundation we have made and, more importantly, the character and the friendships we have forged here at Princeton, the vista of our future looks even more lush than this idyllic scene."
Family members snapped pictures of their loved ones. (Photo: John Jameson)
Senior Chelsea Carter looked back on the last four years with nostalgia. "I will miss this old place more than I can possibly imagine," she said in one of the student addresses. "Princeton is a tightrope walk to be sure, a fantastical balancing act and feat of Spartan endurance that alternately leaves us at spectacular highs and devastating lows. But we rise to the occasion, and we have all met this challenge with a grace and a skill that makes me so proud to call myself a member of the class of 2008."
Colbert told the audience that he had come to Princeton to tell the class that, if they followed their dreams and applied what they had learned at the University, they had the power to change the world. But, he implored, "Please don't do that."
Many students sported black and orange sunglasses provided to them at the beginning of the event. (Photo: John Jameson)
Speaking "on behalf of the adults," he said, "I am begging you to leave the world alone. ... Some of us like it the way it is. Personally, things are going great for me right now." The Emmy Award-winning actor and writer deplored the effect the class members could have, saying "you people are like a virus that will soon be unleashed upon the world, with your unstoppable drive and your infectious enthusiasm."
Colbert blamed this fervor for changing the world on leaders such as Mohandas Gandhi and Al Gore. "Please don't try to change global warming," he said. "The older generations cut down the forest and sprayed millions of tons of CO2 in the air for a reason -- because they felt a draft in here. ... When you're older, you'll understand that it is a lot easier to raise the ocean temperatures a few degrees than to remember to bring a cardigan."
Finally, he said that he thought changing the world would be a rather difficult task. "Wouldn't it be easier to take up your remote control and follow me?"
Several awards were presented to students during the ceremony, including the Priscilla Glickman '92 Memorial Prize for "independence and imagination in the area of service" to, from left, Joshua Loehrer and Jessica Gheiler by Marjorie Young, director of Community House, and David Brown, director of the Student Volunteers Council. (Photo: John Jameson)
Awards for community service, athletics and leadership were presented to the seniors. The class awarded Colbert "The Understandable Vanity Award," which consisted of a drawing of the comedian giving the thumbs-up sign in front of Nassau Hall -- and a mirror. "I've never seen anything more beautiful," Colbert raved as he gazed at his image.
Colbert was accompanied to campus by Jay Katsir, a member of the class of 2004 and a writer for "The Colbert Report." When Katsir spoke at the Class Day ceremony four years ago, one of those in the audience was Colbert's agent, who later suggested that Katsir be hired as a writer for Colbert's show.

Masters' hoods generally are shorter by a foot than doctors', and each hood is bordered by a velvet band in the color assigned to the discipline in which the degree is granted.
Princeton's graduation activities culminate Tuesday, June 3, with Commencement ceremonies at 11 a.m. on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall.

Speaking of Wedding Crashers, I watched it last night on HBO HighDef. With all the recent talk about Crashers and the fact it was gonna be in HD, I had to watch it.

I also watched Terminator 3 yesterday, followed by I Robot.

Rosemary and black pepper make this bread anything but typical. Wedges are delicious with plenty of butter and your favorite preserves.
Leave a Review
Oops... forgot to mention in my review that I used home-cultured sour kefir instead of buttermilk, and it was great.
Yes. Very rosemary-y. Very hearty. Very fast to put together. Dense and satisfying. Perfect excuse to kick the oven on for a while on a cold day. Recommended.
This was the easiest bread ever! The rosemary was heavenly! I even doubled it. My pepper was finely ground so I don't think it was very pronounced. Loved the way the crust was made around the edges. I extensively read the reviews before starting out. It helps to keep in mind that this is similar to making a scone dough. It won't be a smooth and elastic dough like other breads. It will be kind of rough and craggy and "too sticky". I turned it out on the floured board and used a dough scraper to pick up the edges to fold down on top for the "kneading" process and then off to the oven. I also made mine into one large loaf and baked it an extra 10 - 15 minutes. It was devoured by the 5 of us in one sitting! No left overs, so can't report on how it keeps. It is so easy to make in fact, that I would consider making only half the recipe when it is just the two of us. Fresh out of the oven is always best with bread! Just know that it is sticky, follow the flour & liquid amounts to a T and knead only as instructed. Do not add extra flour and it will be a guaranteed success! Can't wait to make it again!
Really easy and delicious. Used spelt flour and dried rosemary and halfed the recipe. Fed four with leftovers.
I loved the flavor of this, but the measurements seemed off for me. The dough was way too sticky as written to be able to knead, so I kept adding flour a little at a time until I could handle it better. I think maybe I ended up working it too much, because it turned out a little dense and crumbly after cooling. The overall flavor was really good, though. I think I would try making this again, because it would be even better if the texture was not as dense. My hubby claims not to like rosemary, but he liked this. I loved the background flavor of herb and pepper. Definitely worth a try!
If I could rate this a 3.5, I would. I followed this recipe exactly. It was very easy, and the results were delicious. I agree with other reviewers that you should work the bread as little as possible.
This is my first bread baking experience and the first soda bread I've ever had and I must say it turned out pretty good. Like other reviews have said, it does have a biscuit-y texture to it so it's not really sandwich-type bread. I had to use dried rosemary since I didn't have any fresh on hand. I'm not sure if it makes a difference since this is my first time making this recipe, but the rosemary did make the bread mighty fragrant. Next time I'll probably lower the cooking time by about 5 minutes because the bottom of the loaves were a little tough. All in all a great recipe, nice and soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. Great for corned beef and cabbage.
Out of many soda breads, this one flavored with brown butter, rosemary, and black pepper is exceptional. I did substitute 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour for color and fiber. Served it with marmalade and fig butter for a special breakfast.
Yum!!! Delicious! Tip: If you try substituting Greek yogurt for the buttermilk, you will have to mix the yogurt with milk to make it the proper liquidity and volume before adding to the recipe. I brushed with olive oil and ground black pepper prior to baking. Will definitely be making again.
I thought this bread was delicious and the amount of rosemary and black pepper was just right. It does have a biscuity texture as others have mentioned. Not sure I would try to make sandwiches with it but it would be great with soups and stews. Of course we have eaten a whole loaf by itself 30 minutes out of the oven. Defintely will make again.

Governor Pawlenty Signs
Higher Education Bill
Contact: Sandy Connolly, Director of Communications
(651) 259-3902
Governor Tim Pawlenty this week signed legislation that provides $3.16 billion in state funding to higher education institutions, students and related programs for the two years beginning July 1, 2007. A 14.9 percent funding increase for the University of Minnesota and a 12.7 percent increase for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system over the current two-year budget cycle are expected to mitigate tuition increases at public colleges and provide new dollars for strategic initiatives.
The bill also included $10.8 million for a new initiative proposed by the Governor to award scholarships to low- and middle-income high school students who complete a set of college-preparatory courses. Students who successfully complete advanced courses such as calculus, physics and courses for which they can earn college credit including Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Postsecondary Enrollment Options can earn $1,200 to be used at a public or private college in Minnesota.
"The ACHIEVE program will reward students with college scholarships for taking challenging classes in high school," Susan Heegaard, director of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, said. "We have high expectations for all Minnesota students and ACHIEVE will challenge high school students and provide them with additional incentives."
Bill Highlights:
- The University of Minnesota will receive $1.39 billion, a $180 million increase over the current two year budget cycle. In addition to holding down tuition, the University is expected to invest in its technology infrastructure, competitive compensation for faculty and build its health, science and engineering research capacity.
- The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system will receive $1.36 billion, a $153 million increase over the current two year budget cycle. In addition to holding down tuition, the system will invest in the development of science, technology, engineering, health care and mathematics programs, create a center of excellence in the biosciences, and reach more students from groups traditionally underrepresented.
- The legislature also passed Governor Pawlenty's pay-for-performance proposal, making the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities eligible for bonus funding based on measurable outcomes. Each will receive approximately $12 million after demonstrating that they have achieved three of five strategic goals.
- Goals for the University of Minnesota include increasing grants and scholarships for low- and middle-income students, increasing research and development expenditures, increasing the number of degrees awarded in science and technology, and research and activity beneficial to business and industry.
- Goals for Minnesota State Colleges and Universities include increasing enrollment in science and technology courses, increasing enrollment in Centers of Excellence programs, increasing the number of students trained in the use of electronic medical record technology and increasing the number of students taking online courses.
- Goals for the University of Minnesota include increasing grants and scholarships for low- and middle-income students, increasing research and development expenditures, increasing the number of degrees awarded in science and technology, and research and activity beneficial to business and industry.
Other key provisions of the Higher Education bill include:
- $12 million for a GI Bill for Minnesota veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001. The Minnesota GI Bill provides up to $1,000 per academic term to veterans and the dependents of deceased and disabled veterans, while building on existing state and federal benefit programs for military personnel.
- The University of Minnesota and Mayo Foundation partnership will receive $25 million over the next two years, with an ongoing appropriation of $8 million per year thereafter. The partnership is an ongoing research collaboration focusing on biotechnology and medical genomics.
- The State Grant program, a need-based program to help students pay for college attendance, will receive an increase of $2.2 million.
- Postsecondary Child Care Grants will receive an additional $2.5 million to help low-income students pay child care expenses while they are enrolled in college.
- The MINITEX Interlibrary Loan and Databases will receive an increase of $2.5 million to respond to growing demand for shared library resources across the state.
- The Learning Network of Minnesota will receive an increase of $1.15 million for the biennium to help cover costs associated with growth in distance education, network conversion and maintaining and improving bandwidth.
The overall increase in state appropriations for higher education from the current biennium to the two-year period beginning July 1 is 14.3 percent.
"Minnesota relies on its colleges and universities to help the state and its citizens compete internationally," Heegaard said. "They must be strong and strategic and prepare students to succeed in college."

Sports industry leaders, students to convene at annual sports symposium
Posted November 23, 2009; 05:57 p.m.
Sports business professionals, marketing executives, college athletic leaders and students will come together for the 2009 Princeton Sports Symposium from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, in the Friend Center.
The event is open to the public, though advance registration is required. To register and to view the agenda, visit the symposium website. The event is free for current college students and $50 for nonstudents and sports industry professionals.
Now in its fourth year, the Princeton Sports Symposium will bring together more than 60 executives in the sports and entertainment industry to discuss such topics as social media and technology, public relations, television and programming, international sports, and athlete marketing and representation.
The annual symposium, which was founded in 2006 by then-Princeton senior Chris Chaney, is intended to help students and sports professionals learn more about the sports industry, while providing a forum for industry executives to attract potential future leaders. The event is organized by a committee of Princeton students with support from an advisory committee of sports business executives and Princeton alumni.
"Not only will the event shed light on the University's efforts to discover and transmit unique career paths to students, but the symposium also will help develop students' and sports professionals' understanding of the diverse opportunities and latest trends in an exciting industry," said Princeton Sports Symposium Planning Committee student co-chair Richard Zhang, a senior. Zhang organized this year's event with committee co-chair Miheer Mhatre, a junior.
The event will begin with a roundtable discussion featuring former Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox general manager Roland Hemond and Sports Illustrated senior writer Tom Verducci. The conversation will be followed by a keynote address by Tony Ponturo, president of Ponturo Management and chairman of the Leverage Agency sports marketing firm. Afterward, there will be 11 panel discussions that address topics such as building a brand with social media, the Olympic Games and international sports, digital media and technology, and athlete marketing and representation.
Several other sports industry leaders are scheduled to participate in the symposium, including: Greg Avioli, Breeders' Cup president and chief executive officer; Randy Bernard, Professional Bull Riders chief executive officer; Barry Frank, the IMG agency's executive vice president of sports programming; Lindsay Kagawa, director of women's sports for Wasserman Media Group; Greg Shaheen, NCAA senior vice president of basketball and business strategies; Mark Wilf, owner and president of the Minnesota Vikings and a 1984 Princeton graduate; and Michelle Wilson, World Wrestling Entertainment executive vice president of marketing.
University sponsors of the event are the Office of Career Services, the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life, the Undergraduate Student Government Projects Board and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students.
Outside sponsors of the event are the Leverage Agency, Chaney Sports Group, Partnership Activation and the Princeton Varsity Club.

California's Largest Health Insurer Defends Premium Increases of Up to 39 Percent
By JAKE TAPPER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2010
The Obama administration is demanding answers from California's largest insurance firm, Anthem Blue Cross, about why the company is suddenly raising premiums on some customers by up to 39 percent; more than 10 times the rate of inflation.
White House wants Anthem Blue Cross to justify nearly 40 percent hike.
Nearly a million Californians with individual insurance plans have received letters from the company notifying them of the rate hike, which, some customers said, makes their insurance unaffordable.
"I really can't afford to spend $9,000 a year on health insurance," San Francisco attorney Pamela Fasick said of her policy premiums scheduled to increase 28 percent March 1.
"I would hate to give up give up insurance at this point in my life, but I wouldn't be able to pay that money out of my income without going into debt," she said.
Is this going to be the norm if Health Care does not pass?

I thought I was feeling pretty well after the accident, but late on Thursday night, before bed, I found that I had a really sore shoulder. Went to bed, woke up the next day with a shoulder in agony and found the other shoulder was also sore along with my neck (muscles that go right into the head) and my entire upper back (shoulder blades etc). Sore a Doctor, noted soft tissue damage, went on to continue playing squash as Doctor suggested it would help to loosen the soreness up a little.
The damage to the bike will by today's estimate be between about $3000 and $5400 depending upon whether the panniers ($1800 each!!!) get replaced or repaired. Pretty scarey numbers from a little knock. On top of that, the replacement cost of my helmet is about $600 - it's a BMW.
Work has been really hectic, trying to prepare for the refurbishment work to the lab and the up coming installation of the new sgi equipment arriving over the next month or so. Only problem, of course, is that I'm still sore from the accident and have to shift the 20 machines from the current lab to the new on tomorrow :(
We're installing an imersive visual reality centre powered by an sgi onyx3000 and a lab full (20) of sgi 330L linux workstations with half a gig of ram, dual cpu and the VR3 (vpro) graphics (it's really an nvidia quadro card) which should be really cool for the developers on the desktop moving from sgi o2 workstations which should be quite an improvement in performance for them. It also means I'll hopefully get to do a lot more OSS work due to the new SOE I'll be using. Yeah!
Anyhow, off to bed; I fly out to Adelaide IV on Thursday and will be gone from my world of toys for a solid couple of weeks.
