Blue poles was first exhibited at Pollock's solo show at Sidney Janis Gallery in 1952 ('Jackson Pollock, 10-29 November 1952) where it was titled Number 11, 1952. Pollock's decision to forego conventional descriptive titles and simply number his paintings, including the year oftheir execution, began with his 1949 exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery ('Jackson Pollock, Recent Paintings', 24 January-12 February 1949). Some painting originally given number titles when they were first exhibited were later given more descriptive titles. For example, Number 10, 1952 became Convergence (Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York). This is also the case with Number 11, 1952. The painting was first given the title Blue poles, and dated separately as 1952, in the exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1954 ('9 American Painters Today', 4-23 January 1954). Sidney Janis recalled clearly that the new title came from Pollock himself.1Thereafter the painting is usually referred to as Blue Poles, although occasionally the earlier and late titles are combined as Blue poles: number 11, 1952.
The date of the painting has frequently and mistakenly been given as 1953. It is clear from the inscription in the bottom left-hand corner of the painting that Pollock initially dated it '53', then changed the '3' to a '2'. The correction should not confuse the date of the painting however, for it was exhibited at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1952 and was reproduced in the issue of Artnews for December 1952, accompanying a review of the Janis exhibition by Robert Goodnough.2
The genesis of Blue poles attracted a good deal of attention following the publication of an article by Stanley P. Friedman in the New York Magazine in 1973, in which he reported that he had been told by Tony Smith, a close friend of Pollock, that Smith himself had initially painted on the canvas that subsequently became Blue Poles.3 Smith told Friedman that he visited Pollock early in 1952:
We were drinking. We decided to paint something together. I wanted to get him out of himself and into colour again. We spread out a large piece of Belgian linen. It must have taken an hour, because it was wrapped in a canvas sack, and inside, it was wrapped in a kind of wax paper.
Jackson started taking down paint. Tube after tube of cadmium red. Jackson said, 'I can't start a painting in red'. The tubes came in sets of three. He kept discarding them. And I thought, hell, we are getting away from what I'm trying to do. So I said I'd start. And by luck, the next tube was cadmium orange. It was the fifteenth tube so I squiggled it on. We had eighteen feet of canvas rolled out. And then I laid the wax paper over the squiggles because they were just lines, and I walked on the paper. I flattened the paint out, and then I took the waxed paper off. And Jackson said, 'So that's the way you do it. Here's how I do it,' end he took a pot of Duco that was black and threw the paint on. It turned out a sort of bilious green. And then we started to lay it on. We were drinking. The paint ended up a half-inch thick on the canvas. You can see it. We took off our shoes because we were walking on it. Jackson was using glass tubes filled with paint. They were basting tubes, with rubber bulbs on one end and about an eighth-of-an-inch opening. But he was gripping the bulbs so hard — because he was in this state — that they clogged. He would throw them down and they would break. So he broke them all.
Tony Smith also told Friedman of another visit to Pollock's studio shortly after, in the company of Barnett Newman (1905-70):
I don't think Jackson had done any work on it [the painting] since that night he and I began it. I'm now hazy about that time in the studio with Barney but I've been reminded by friends about what I told them. They tell me that Barney put in the poles. It would be Barney's approach all right, but it's Jackson's thing too. You can see that the poles were worked on after our visit.
Friedman dutifully reported that when Lee Krasner Pollock (1908-84) confronted Barnett Newman himself with this story, Newman denied that he had had anything to do with the 'poles', which are clearly a late development in the painting. He admitted to Thomas B. Hess, however, that during a visit to the studio with Tony Smith Pollock had used the canvas that would subsequently become Blue poles to demonstrate to them a technique for forcing paint from a tube with a single squeeze and that they all had a go at squeezing from the tube onto the canvas. 'Just a smearing', Hess told Friedman, 'it's all underpainting.'
None of those questioned by Friedman at the time, including Thomas B. Hess, Clement Greenberg, Lee Krasner Pollock and 'a museum official' who preferred to remain anonymous, denied the possibility that Smith or Newman painted on the canvas that subsequently became Blue poles. What they all emphatically denied is that these initial exercises on the canvas contributed in any way to the work which Pollock then built up on the canvas to become Blue poles. This point was not sufficiently emphasised by Friedman in his reporting and this failure provoked angry reaction. The next issue of the New York Magazine (9November 1973) published letters from Thomas B. Hess and Barbara Rose attacking Friedman's interpretation. Hess succinctly put the matter in its proper perspective:
I thought I'd made one thing perfectly clear to New York's reporter Stanley P Friedman … the painting Blue poles is entirely the work of Jackson Pollock. Somebody e/se wove the canvas, of course. And whoever did that had just as important a hand in it as Barnett Newman when he squirted some paint on it in its very first stages. It was tantamount to helping Pollock prepare the canvas for painting — or to stretching it when it was finished. Newman told me that he'd had nothing to do with the painting of Blue poles; he only mentioned the playful first moves to prove his point, and he only brought up the matter at all in order to puncture as emphatically as possible the rumour that he ever had had a part in the picture …4
The issue did not rest there. It was raised again by Francis Valentine O'Connor and Eugene Victor Thaw as editors of the catalogue raisonné of Pollock's works. On 7 January 1974 they convened a meeting at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, to carry out a careful examination of Blue poles, which had been on exhibition there in 'American Art of Mid-Century 1' before its shipment to Australia. Present at this meeting, in addition to the two editors were Lee Krasner Pollock, Bryan Robertson, Gene Baro and Kay Silberfeld, the conservator of paintings at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Their findings were published in 1978:
An examination of the entire painting revealed that it was painted on a heavy piece of commercially prepared linen, that the paint had not bled through to the back, and that except for a few shards of curved glass embedded in the paint surface toward the lower right, the paint surface, which was in excellent condition, in no way substantiated the description of the initial painting stages published by Stanley P Friedman in 1973.5
The conclusion made here is not that Tony Smith's and Barnett Newman's involvement was incidental, as had been maintained in the earlier critical backlash to Friedman's article, but that it was non-existent, although Lee Krasner Pollock's reported statement in the catalogue raisonné is entirely consistent with her earlier statements: 'Lee Krasner Pollock denied that any other artist participated in the creation of this painting as it looks today' (authors' emphasis).6
On the basis of the few points noted in the catalogue raisonné as the results of their examination of the painting it is difficult to understand the categorical conclusion reached by the editors.7 The problem, as Thomas B. Hess and Clement Greenberg were at pains to point out in their initial response to Friedman's reporting, is that any trace of earlier involvement by Smith or Newman has been covered over by the painting which Pollock subsequently made on this canvas. In fact, it is the evidence of Pollock at work, in a long and exacting process, that is most clearly revealed by a close inspection of Blue poles. Although it appears marvellously spontaneous, exactly as Pollock wished it to appear, close inspection of Blue Poles shows that this effect was achieved neither effortlessly nor spontaneously, neither in a moment of inspired 'action painting' nor drunken fury, the kind of misconceptions Pollock's working method created by Friedman's article.
Blue Poles was a painting that took time and plotting to 'come through' as Lee Krasner Pollock pointed out in an interview with Barbara Rose published in 1980:
A painting like Blue poles he re-entered many many times, and just kept saying, 'This won't come through'. That went on for quite a long time … when he got hung up in something, like Blue poles, where he did get hung up, it took quite a long time. This went on beyond weeks. He might just walk away from it for a stretch of time, and me back, re-enter.8
This is precisely what a close inspection of Blue poles confirms.
The canvas is of high-quality Belgian linen with a commercially oil-primed ground. The earliest visible layer of paint is black, thinning at the edges to a sort of 'bilious green', although this green appears to have been formed by the mixing of yellow and black, not the cadmium orange and black recalled by Tony Smith. This dark layer of paint does not resemble the intricate tracery of black lines that one finds at the base of the contemporaneous painting Convergence 1952, but would appear to have been a thick puddle of paint concentrated towards the centre of the canvas, with sprays emanating out to the edges, particularly noticeable in the top left of the canvas.
The first layer of paint was applied, as had become customary practice for Pollock since 1947, while the canvas was stretched out on the floor. 'On the floor I am more at ease', Pollock wrote in 1947, 'I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting'.9
In several places around the edge of the canvas there are footprints in the dark green and black of the first layer of paint. In most cases the imprint is of shoes and in one case at least, the imprint of a bare foot (top right). This is by no means an exclusive feature of Blue poles. Footprints are equally in evidence around the Convergence 1952, for instance, and were bound to occur in working on paintings of this scale laid out on the floor. The extraordinary photographs which Hans Namuth took of Pollock at work in the summer of 1950 frequently show the artist standing on the edge of the canvas leaning in, and occasionally stretching with his foot right into the centre of the canvas, in order better to control the distribution of paint, particularly when working on the early stages of a painting. 'I do step into the canvas occasionally', Pollock told William Wright in an interview during that same summer, '[but] working from the four sides I don't have to get into the canvas too much'.10
Fragments of glass are also embedded in this layer of paint. Although a concentration of these fragments occurs in a patch in the lower right of the painting, as noted in the catalogue raisonné, tiny shards of glass can be found in many other areas over the canvas. Again, this is not unusual, and again in 1947 Pollock wrote of his technique: 'I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass and other foreign matter added'.11The fragments of glass in Blue poles appear to be all of the same consistency, very thin and of a very narrow curvature. It is definitely not bottle glass, as has been suggested.12 The glass is consistent, however, with the glass of basting tubes, mentioned by both Smith and Newman, as an instrument which Pollock was experimenting with in order to exercise greater control over the flow of his paint. Lee Krasner Pollock also remembered the artist using these syringes:
his 'palette' was typically a can or two of this enamel, thinned to the point he wanted it, standing on the floor beside the rolled-out canvas. Then, using sticks and hardened or worn-out brushes (which were In effect like sticks), and basting syringes, he'd begin. His control was amazing. Using a stick was difficult enough but the basting syringe was like a giant fountain pen. With it he had to control the flow of ink [paint], as well as his gesture. He used to buy those syringes by the dozen.13
When the first layer of paint was dry the unstretched canvas was put up on the wall by tacking it along the top edge to a beam that ran along the wall of the studio. Downward arching stretchmarks along the top edge of the canvas are a legacy of the hanging of this canvas. While the painting was hanging in this position, liquid white paint was applied, perhaps squirted onto the canvas using the basting syringes, and allowed to run down, veiling the dark underpaint in a delicate tracery of dribbles.
For the next campaign on the painting the canvas was back on the floor. Using his characteristic method of skeining paint, of pouring fluid paint in a continuous stream onto the canvas from above, using sticks, dried brushes or syringes, Pollock built up a web of rhythmic linear accents using yellow, orange and aluminium paint. The bright colours were unusual for Pollock, but the dark puddle of paint covering the canvas left him little option. In compelling one to look at these linear accents, Frank O'Hara's 1959 description of the finesse and control that Pollock visibly exercised in this process of drawing with flowing paint remains unsurpassed:
There has never been enough said about Pollock's draughtsmanship, that amazing ability to quicken a line by thinning it, to slow it by flooding, to elaborate that simplest of elements, the line — to change, to reinvigorate, to extend, to build up an embarrassment of riches in the mass by drawing alone. And each change in the individual line is what every draftsman has always dreamed of: color.14
Pollock then left the canvas alone for quite some time, for when he next worked on the painting, having decided to paint in the blue poles, it can be seen how the blue paint rides over the thick ridges of the earlier paint layers without any blurring of these, indicating that they were quite dry by that time. Nor are the ridges flattened by the '2 x 4' length of timber that Pollock apparently used as a straight edge for painting in the poles.15The poles are an unusually definite form in the 'all-over' configuration of Pollock's poured paintings and various figurative connotations have been attributed to them — from totems to the swaying masts of tall ships.16 However, it has also been pointed out that these dynamic vertical elements are a recurring formal device in Pollock's work, even if not previously used on this scale, and can be traced back to lessons on composition given by Thomas Hart Benton, Pollock's teacher.17
Pollock integrated the poles by blurring their edges and introducing swathes of black paint that tug at the poles as if caught in a tide. The poles are laced into the composition with fine dripped skeins of white, black and blue paint., In this final operation Pollock used brushes and rags as well as poured paint. Careful adjustments are made. A thin white dripped line that might have faded at the left edge of the canvas is fastidiously painted over at the edge in black. Sections of other dripped lines are tuned with the brush. A fluid orange line traversing a black area at the top right edge is edited, narrowed with delicate black brush marks.18 No flagging is permitted in this spectacular surge of energy. Clearly, the sensation of immediacy, of 'energy made visible', took time and care to 'come through' in Blue poles.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
BOONEVILLE – Becky Jones was on her way to the state prison at Pearl minutes after a Prentiss County jury found her guilty of her mother's murder.
Jones, 49, put her head in her hands and trembled emotionally on hearing the verdict: guilty.
She went on trial Tuesday for the May 11, 2010, shooting death of her mother, Jane Jones, as Jane's 439 Highway 4 East home.
Prosecutors said she intended the kill her mother. Jones insisted it was an accident.
The jury spent about 90 minutes in deliberations Thursday night and then 2 1/2 hours on Friday.
• Read Saturday's Daily Journal for more details. Read running accounts of her trial elsewhere on this website.
• • •
Jury finds Becky Jones guilty of murder, as charged.
Judge sentences her to life in prison and $5,000 fine.
• • •
UPDATE: 11:06 – Forces assembling in courtroom. May have a verdict.
• • •
UPDATE 11:00 a.m. – Jury still in deliberations. No news in courtroom.
• • •
UPDATE 10:30 a.m. – Jury began talks at 9 a.m. No reports yet.

BOONEVILLE – Becky Jones' future is on hold with her jury so far unable to decide whether or not she murdered her mother.
The 12- member jury returns this morning to the Prentiss County courthouse to resume deliberations. They began their discussions about her case about 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Jones, 49, went on trial Tuesday – the second time after an October mistrial caused by her sudden, unexplained hospitalization.
Prosecutors say Jones intended to shoot her mother, 66-year-old Jane Jones, when Becky Jones brought a gun into the older woman's home at 439 Highway 4 East of Booneville on May 11, 2010.
Her attorney, Rob Laher of Tupelo, repeatedly told the jury that despite the longtime rocky relationship between his client and her mother, she never meant to hurt her, much less kill her.
Judge Jim Seth Pounds presides over the murder trial, reportedly a rarity in Prentiss County. Assistant District Attorneys Josh Wise and Kimmie Kitchens represented the state.
Kitchens conducted several aggressive cross-examinations of defense witnesses Thursday, although she wasn't as tough on Jones, who had the last word for herself.
"I loved my Mama," she said repeatedly. "I did not murder Mama."
But a 911 call to Prentiss County emergency dispatchers gave a different story, in Jane Jones' own words: My daughter shot me twice. Please send help.
Jurors face four options: guilty or not guilty of murder, and if not guilty, then was it culpable negligent manslaughter or heat-of-passion manslaughter?
Jones said her mother attacked her as Jones rose from the couch to exit her mother's home. She said they struggled over the gun and it went off twice.
Jane Jones was wounded in the arm/shoulder area and fatally in the abdomen. She died a few hours later as she arrived at North Mississippi Medical Center.
Forensic evidence showed gunshot residue on both women, indicating Jane Jones was at least within three feet of the gun. A medical examiner said analysis showed she was wounded by a gun between contact and nine inches from her.

What's more, Fàbregas (who rejoined Barça last season from Arsenal) argues that the pressure from his own fans at Barça is even greater than it is from home supporters in other countries, including England. "In Spain whatever you do, after one or two months it's forgotten," Fàbregas said. "Forgotten. You can't say to the fans, 'Oh, we won this one month ago.' People forget. They just want new results and new results. That's what makes the Spanish fans so competitive, you know?"
"I think this helps in a way," Fàbregas continued, "because that makes you always be aware of the situation. You can never go to sleep. Like at Arsenal, when I was there the fans would adore you, whatever you do. They would always support you until the end, always sing your name. It's completely different here. You lose two games and you panic because you know the fans will not like it and will make you pay for it in a way. I'm surprised, and I like it. It's new for me to play professionally in Spain."
I'm surprised, and I like it.

I just got the Gateway SOLO 2550 laptop, which was dropped on the floor by a marketing guy. HDD is broken, keyboard bended, CD-ROM doesn't work and floppy is giving some trouble now and then.
So, I took the poor fella' and now thinking what to do with it. It has a lot of CPU power so there got to be a solution to put this broken baby in the works.
Managed to compile and boot the kernel from the floppy, so there is something to be done with it. I think I'll put it in my jeep as a MP3 player or a GPS station.
Pure fun!

You can now hang a barrel on the panels.Most companies go cheaper after awhile,Mason hasn`t!!!! Great kennels.By the way it was cheaper to buy 8 new kennels than to replace a panel here and there.Got more for less by buying a pakage. Thanks Mason. Looks like they changed the door latches also and I guess if you want to go in with dog in you push door in let the latch down and the dog can`t slip by you and get out.If you go in and close the latch its a little tricky to get out of.

Bernard Lewis speaks on new book, Nov. 7
Posted November 4, 2002; 04:04 p.m.
Bernard Lewis , the Cleveland Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies Emeritus, will present a lecture on the subject of his recent book, "What Went Wrong? Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response," at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The book, published by Oxford University Press, examines the reaction of the Islamic world to increasing domination by the West as a military and economic power. He shows striking differences between the Western and Middle Eastern cultures from the 18th to the 20th centuries by comparing such areas as religion, the arts and the position of women.
Retired from teaching at Princeton in 1986, Lewis has remained active in his research and is considered a leading historian and interpreter of the region and the people of the Near East. His early research interests included Islamic history and the contemporary Middle East. More recently, he has researched the history of the Ottoman Empire, and is presently combining his interests by studying the history of the relations between Europe and Islam from early Ottoman to modern times.
In addition to "What Went Wrong?" Lewis is the author of numerous books including "A Middle East Mosaic: Fragments of Life, Letters and History" (2000), "The Emergence of Modern Turkey (Studies in Middle Eastern History)" (2001) and the forthcoming "The Assassins: A Radical Sect in Islam."
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

apparently news is just breaking that sideshow collectibles has some sort of star wars license. sideshow is best known for making super high quality 12" figures, but also makes 1/4th scale figures, busts and statues, along with some props and lifesize busts.
i'm guessing sideshow will be making 1/4th scale(18" figures), as i just can't see hasbro letting them in on the 12 inch line, and gentle giant and master replicas are in the bust/statue and prop business.
sideshow's 18 inch figures cost about $200 each and are really nice, have some cloth clothing, but aren't very articulated. they're like big statues, with a few moveable joints.
......so would anyone pay $200 for a super-detailed 21" darth vader?

Report: Apple to Debut iPad 3 During First Week of March
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: blogspot.com)
The iPad 3's big feature will be Retina Display
Rumors regarding
the iPad 3's introduction
and release dates began circulating back in December, with many suspecting that the iPad 2 successor would make an appearance in February 2012. However,
All Things D
has reported that an event to introduce the iPad 3 will take place during the first week of March.
The iPad 3
will be held in San Francisco, California during the first week of March, according to
All Things D
. Some suspect that Apple will present its latest tablet at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where Apple usually makes its huge product announcements.
The iPad 3, which is still not the confirmed name of the tablet, is expected to resemble the iPad 2 as far as shape and size, but differ as far as what's under the hood. The big difference will be the Retina Display, offering a 2048x1536 pixel screen, which is just over 3 megapixels.
While the Retina Display update is a sure thing, many other possible features are up-in-the-air at this point. There are questions floating around in regards to whether the iPad 3 will have a dual or quad-core processor, for instance.
The Verge
reported that a dual-core processor is the likely answer after supposed iPad 3 back-shell photos leaked, but
reported the opposite, claiming the iPad 3 will have a quad-core chip and LTE capabilities.
Other questions remain, such as whether the iPad 3 will have the digital assistant Siri included as well as NFC, an updated camera, and a 128 GB option.
While the iPad 3's features are uncertain to the public for now, questions won't go unanswered for long as Apple prepares for its March introduction. In fact, Apple is currently scrambling to gather apps for the tablet's debut next month.
According to
, Apple typically takes its sweet time picking out the perfect apps to show off during introductory events. However, that doesn't seem to be the case this time, as Apple is reportedly in "crunch mode" to find the best apps that show off the new Retina Display. Apple isn't strictly concerned with apps for the debut, though; it's also working to send its best apps to advertising agency TWBA/Chiat/Day for its iPad 3 commercials.
So far, there's no set date for the release of the iPad 3, but if the iPad 3 is anything like the iPad 2, it will launch about a week or so after the debut event in March.
The iPad 3 launch may be exactly what Apple needs after a tough start to 2012. Last month, The New York Times released its second installment to its iEconomy series, which focused on
the poor treatment of workers at Apple's suppliers in China
. The report, which cited issues like working long hours with extended overtime, poor working conditions that have led to explosions, and crowded living spaces, drew plenty of attention from both Apple and the public.
Apple CEO Tim Cook blasted the report
, saying that Apple cares about each and every worker employed by its overseas suppliers. However, his speech didn't seem to sway the public. Just yesterday, social activist groups Change.org and SumOfUs.org
organized demonstrations in front of key Apple stores
around the globe to protest Apple's lack of empathy for the workers in factories like Foxconn.
Apple is also facing other issues, such as trouble over its use of its name "iPad," which could possibly
ban the tablet in China

President Barack Obama signed the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law on January 2, renewing the power to apprehend and detain Americans indefinitely granted in the previous year's version.
In order to protect their citizens from being grabbed and imprisoned under the provisions of the NDAA, many state lawmakers are standing up to the federal government, proposing resolutions nullifying this unconstitutional power at the state borders.
Nullification is a concept of constitutional law recognizing the right of each state to nullify, or invalidate, any federal measure that exceeds the few and defined powers allowed the federal government as enumerated in the U.S. Constitution.
Nullification exists as a right of the states because the sovereign states formed the union, and as creators of the compact, they hold ultimate authority as to the limits of the power of the central government to enact laws that are applicable to the states and the citizens thereof.
As President Obama continues accumulating all legislative, executive, and judicial power, the need for nullification is urgent, and liberty-minded citizens are encouraged to see state legislators boldly asserting their right to restrain the federal government through application of that very powerful and very constitutional principle.
The House of Representatives of Washington, for example, is considering the "Washington State Preservation of Liberty Act." Introduced earlier this month, this bill "condemns and criminalizes" the use of the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA.
H.B. 1581 enjoys bipartisan support. The bill's primary sponsor is state Representative Sharon Tomiko Santos (D), who is joined by at least eight other Democrats and 12 Republicans.
The state senate in the the Evergreeen State is considering a companion bill, co-sponsored by Democrats Bob Hosegawa and Maralyn Chase.
Both measures intend to prevent the president from sending the military to arrest and detain Washingtonians, under the authority of Section 1021 of the Fiscal Year 2012 NDAA.

I have had dogs since but purchased my first Lab in 1979 before that I had coon hounds in high school. My first lab that was out of field trial breeding was a yellow sired by AFC Super Disco Dancer, a 1985 National Amateur Finalist. I sent the dog south with Wayne Curtis and upon his return from Texas the dog was 20 months old.
The dog failed his first derby because of my error. A few weeks later on the dike road at the Duluth Retriever Club 4th series a fair swim. I tried to remain calm but internally I was in distress. When the Judge walks over, his hand on my shoulder and tells me "get this one clean and you are the winner". I nearly fell ater two weeks of our failure the dog was on the derby list with his second win. Hooked from here on.

A while ago, I responded to a blog comment promising some thoughts on how to recognize a cold-calling PC support scam. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that immediately, and then I was on vacation with no Internet connectivity (I should do that more often!). But then, since the problem isn't going to disappear any time soon, I guess advice on how to recognize it before you hand over any cash isn't going to pass its best-by date too soon, either.
So what about the ways in which they try to prove to you that your machine is infected by walking you through standard Windows utilities? It's likely that scammers will come up with variations on this approach, but these are the ones that we see most often.
What that ASSOC command actually tells us here is that the .zfsendtotarget extension file is associated with the compressed (zipped) folder form in Microsoft windows. However, the scammer will usually tell you that this is the unique identifier of your PC, as proof that he can see that there is a problem uniquely associated with your PC. Or he may tell you that CLSID stands for Computer License ID, and that you need to renew the license. Either way, he's lying to you. Tell him where to stick his license and put the phone down.
For the scammer, there are two other critical steps.
Of course, we can't guarantee that they'll use any particular approach, and in fact you may get threatening or abusive behaviour before they give up. Nonetheless, the earlier in the process you disengage and make it clear you're not interested, the less hassle they're likely to give you: at least, in terms of that specific phone call. The advantage to that approach, of course is that it tends to work for other scams (some of which may come from the same call centres): mortgage scams, fake surveys (usually a precursor to a sales pitch or even to a follow-up scam call, tailored according to your responses) and so on.

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Are you saying she did break a law? Or are you saying that it is immoral or un-American to disagree over immigration policy? I believe those were the only two issues I addressed.
I have no particular love for Pelosi, but her position does not surprise of bother me since I suspect it is shared by the large majority of her constituents in San Francisco. Representing them is, in fact, her most important job. This is a lesson other congressional leaders have had to relearn on a regular basis.
First of all, there is nothing unAmerican about the way we enforce our Immigration Laws. It's just the way both parties pander for the Hispanic vote is the reason she said it. What is criminal is that we have immigration laws that are not enforced and that is what she is encouraging. By not supporting the enforcement of Federal Law, she is selling out legal US citizens and that could be argued as treason. Same for the Republicans. Heck, Ronald Reagan is largly responsible for the illegal immigration mess we have today. When he declared Amnistry, the illegal immigration flood gates opened. As the Obomo Administration continues to accelerated the financial destruction of the US of A, our homes and real estate will be more affordable to even more illegals.
Just look at what a lunatic Pelosi is. Her state is wrecked and bankrupt because of illegals and her words shows me she is NOT serving the people of California but, the illegals.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
Pelosi breaks the law when she gets out of bed in the morning.
And the great State of California is completely wrecked, ruined and bankrupt under Speaker Pelosi's leadership and by the progressive movement.
I don't believe you base your opinions on how someone interprets or enforces the law; you base them on whether or not you agree with their position. In that sense, you appear to focus all of your attention on the ends regardless of means, much like the Bolsheviks you denounce. Throughout the Cold War, we emphasized our commitment to due process and the rule of law as fundamental issues that separated us from those supporting communism -- those who believed that the ends justified the means. Today, the extreme right seems to have taken the lead in denouncing due process and the rule of law in favor of any policies they believe will support their objectives. That, in my opinion, is un-American and traitorous.
Rightly or wrongly, Reagan's amnesty was implemented legally. Calling it traitorous is absurd; it followed the rule of law. Through most of the history of our country, our borders were wide open. The last time there were massive anti-immigrant actions was during the 1920's, before the Great Depression. Closing our borders and closing our minds go hand in hand with a fear of competition. Every politician in this country that wants to be elected will pay a lot of attention to the Hispanic population that is here legally or they will be voted out of office because that is the most rapidly growing segment of or population. That is the power of democracy and it is very American.
cave canem...beware of the dog
Richard Halstead (halst001 at yahoo.com)
I love my country and its culture. We have been a great nation with a great tradition and history. The fact that I don't want it run by people with great disdain for this country is why I would support military intervention. When M Obomo says during the campaign that this is the first time she has ever been proud of this country it show what she really thinks about it. When both Obomos whorship with a preacher that hates whites, white culture, our government and tells his congregation lies about the government, how in hell do you put this person as leader of the most powerful country in the world?
The sooner they are out of DC the better for all Americans. Obomos ability to destroy this country financially at his accelerated pace means the sooner he is out, the better!
I don't want to live in a country run by socialist!
I didn't say Pres Reagan broke any laws. I said that his amnisty bill opened the flood gates for illegals. Treason is being committed by both parties for not enforcing our laws and for putting the wellfare of the illegals above that of its citizens.
I'm glad to see Obomo's approval numbers falling, I told you so!
The last two months have been Key Stone Cops come to DC. They are more than a mess, they are very dangerous to everything that has made this country great!

I bring these things up because of the blatant hypocrisy I see on this board. Whereas on one hand some of us here would excuse the behaviour of our previous administration and feel we should not investigate or prosecute them, it is in the next breath that I hear that someone should be arrested for something that is not even illegal, and then you have people commenting that they agree with them. It is hard for me to reconcile those positions.

For the perfect dish for a chilly autumn evening, marinate pork chops overnight in a beer-based marinade and serve with apples roasted with garlic and other seasonings.
I like to use a honey wheat beer in the brine, but you can use your favorite brand.
Use this same brine for a whole roasting chicken, and refrigerate for the full 24 hours. Once you start brining, you will want to brine everything!
Try serving roasted apples instead of the same old mashed potatoes—your family and guests will be pleasantly surprised.

Iconic Australian fashion brand to open at T2 Domestic Terminal 13 July.
Country Road is the latest iconic Australian fashion brand to join Sydney Airport's growing collection of fashion boutiques. The new Country Road concept store will open 13 July at T2 domestic terminal as part of the remodelling of the precinct into a premium shopping and lifestyle destination, delivering improved choice, convenience and value for travellers.
Country Road Group is already well represented at the airport, with two of its other household name brands – Mimco and Witchery – already at T2.
Country Road is all about creating simple yet beautiful designs to reflect an authentically Australian way of life.
"At Sydney Airport we are committed to constantly enhancing the experience of our passengers. By welcoming brands we know Australians love we can continue to meet and exceed the needs of domestic travellers, whether they are flying for business or pleasure," General Manager of Retail at Sydney Airport Andrew Gardiner said.
Country Road managing director Sophie Holt said Country Road has chosen Sydney Airport as its exclusive airport store.
"Country Road is a perfect fit for T2. From the workplace to the weekend, from everyday essentials to aspirational pieces, the store will offer a range of womenswear and women's accessories, appealing to both the corporate and the leisure traveller," Ms Holt said.
"This is a great opportunity to expose Australia's most iconic brand to a new audience, as Sydney Airport has over 37 million diverse passengers a year."
Country Road worked closely with designers Meacham Nockles McQualter to develop the store concept in keeping with its relaxed style. Inspired by the modern Scandinavian aesthetic that maintains the distinct sensibility of the Country Road brand through clean lines, the store will feature the use of natural timbers and crisp white accented with graphic black.
Country Road has 146 stores across Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, including concession stores in David Jones and Myer.

I am attending my first Master National next week. Question
There are 4 flights
From my understanding it is basically 2 Master test, which means 6 series, right?
Typically in a weekend master test 1 handle on a mark will not fail you. Does this mean the unwritten rule for National 2 handles over the event?
Do all 4 flights run the exact 6 test?

Rectal cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells in the rectum — the last section of your large intestine.
Rectal cancer is often grouped together with colon cancer, and together they're called colorectal cancer.
Rectal cancer most often begins in the cells that line the inside of the rectum. Rectal cancer often first forms as precancerous polyps.
Colorectal cancer screening tests can discover rectal cancer before it begins or at its earliest stages — when treatment has the greatest chance for success.
Rectal cancer treatment often involves surgery to remove the cancer. Other treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, may be used as well.

Do you think he could be a potential target if released by the Broncos?
Do you think he could be a potential target if released by the Broncos?
I hope so! If it was my call I would pull the trigger on him. Backload his contract to leave room for Long and fill the rest of our "holes"in FA
Goodnight Canada!
I think he'll end up working out a restructure with Denver. But he would be a major get if he hits the market. Wake and him as bookends? Nasty.
I would flip out for Dumervil. Are we going to try and sign him? No idea, we havent really looked into any of the available pass rushers. Should we try and sign him? Absolutely.
And hes going to be released. Broncos cant afford his contract and, despite his public comments, hes dug in. Elway spoke out about it just this morning and they have until 4pm est to decide. Hes gone.
If cut it is expected to happen in 12 minutes, by 1:59........
I would like this more than the Wallace signing. He would have a huge impact on this defense
Broncos released him because his agent didnt send the fax agreeing to the reworked contract in time. But, I don't think we can afford the guy.
He is to small he is only 5'11 no thank you

text: The fall offers a space within which we may hear or sense another atmosphere, and as such can be defined by its fragility and potentiality rather than its solidity or completeness. One is confronted with the complete folly of war as one explores the fall of an anonymous airman, his impact with water, and the subsequent fall of both himself and the parachute that envelopes him to the bottom of the sea. The video implies a narrative, yet focuses instead on the event of the fall and the sculptural forms of the parachute as the death is foretold.

Virginia R. Jersild
Virginia R. Jersild, age 78, of Janesville, died Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, at St. Mary's Janesville Hospital. She was born in Janesville on Oct. 2, 1934, the daughter of Lloyd and Beulah (Horn) Algrem and was a 1953 graduate of Janesville High School. Ginny married Ronald L. Jersild on Oct. 20, 1957, in Janesville. He preceded her in death on Feb. 2, 1966. She was employed as the office manager for Schneider Funeral Home from 1974 until her retirement in 1998. A long-time member of First Lutheran Church, Ginny was active in the choir, various church boards and served as the coordinator of the church bazaar for years.

Both lazy house pets untill you ask, "do you want to go play"!
1. Most Americans don't want anybody in their Buisiness, and accepting that money would be exactly like inviting Dracula into your house, you would get sucked dry.
2.I, along with alot of the more productive people have this crazy concept that we need to work for a living, earn what we get, and teach our kids to follow these same beliefs, not wait on the government to send us a check or take care of our problems for us.
3.The money for this stimulus package isn't waiting in a bank, it has to be borrowed. Now I don't no about you but trying to stimulate the ecconomy with fake jobs, borrowed money, and some slick salesmanship might seem like a good idea to you, but I think I would have to question the morals, ethics, charactor, or intellagance of anybody that would support this nonsense, because they are lacking in at least one of these areas.

I don't understand it when states as poor as Louisiana turn down federal funds!! So turn down funds Jindall and keep your state in its stellar economic condition.
Where is your knowledge gleened from Marx? Unemployment is 2 points
less than the National average, yes we do have our share of "Porch
Sitters" do you want them? Jindal; Rhodes Scholar, DHHS Secretary
under a prior administration, and "SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF THE
SOCIALISTS PARTY OF AMERICA", Comrade BAMO only wishes his
resume was had Jindal's depth instead of AYERS, AGITATOR, AND
Yes We Can
Not only is WA State willing to take what the feds throw at us, the Gov is willing to take whatever money is not accepted by other states.
"I'll not only accept all the dollars coming to Washington state, but any governor who wants to reject the dollars, send 'em my way," Gregoire said Monday after meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House.
Jindal is making a principled stand by not accepting $98.4 Million.
It's a great story, if you ignore that fact that he IS accepting the other $3.8 BILLION going to Louisiana.
Making a big deal of rejecting 2.5% of the funds is nothing more than political grandstanding.
The United States Imports 70% of Our Oil.
What's the Plan?

I don't love the film, but the question is "what's your favorite part", so from that, I'd say my favorite part is the opening battle of the film with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon against battle droids.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
that's okay if you don't LOVE it...just like it in some way...
I don't recall ever saying that I never liked TPM. In fact, in the old forums I started an I love TPM thread.Originally posted by ki-adi mundi's bro

Pee for Power

You turn on a light with the flick of a switch. You may have done it thousands of time and never given it a thought—unless you live in a part of the world where electricity is unreliable.
The Back Story
- In many parts of the world, power outages are a daily occurrence. Some places have no electric power infrastructure at all. Families that can afford it may buy a household electric generator to produce electricity when the power goes out.
- Most generators run on gasoline. Gasoline-powered generators have two major problems: gasoline is expensive and burning gasoline produces air pollution.
- In 2013, three Nigerian high-school students developed a generator that solves both problems. The generator runs on hydrogen gas produced from the water in human urine. The fuel is readily available and produces no pollution when used.
- How did the students get hydrogen from water? You can see how it's done in the following video:
Can You Apply It?
Learn more about the pee-to-power project at the link below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/2013/05/the-water-in-urine-can-be-a-source-of-hydrogen-for-electrical-generators/
- Describe how to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. What type of chemical reaction is this?
- How can you identify the hydrogen and oxygen gases produced when water breaks down?
- Which produces more electricity per liter, urine or gasoline? How much more?
- Most of the electricity produced by the hydrogen generator goes into producing hydrogen fuel for the generator. What's the point of a hydrogen generator? What is its main advantage over a gasoline generator?

Where I stayed
Today was a much lighter day than we have had, though, which was nice. The big rides should be over now. Yeah!
We got up this morning and left San Francisco. I was not sad to leave. It's a pretty place, but too much for me. I need my space, and those people live on top of one another. Not sure how anyone could do that and stay sane, but maybe they think the same about how we live.
We rode the 40 miles or so to Santa Cruz. Kind of a let down. It was like a ghost town. Maybe the vampires have taken over the entire population and they only come out at night now?
We did find a cute little cafe- we think it was called the Ocean Beach Cafe- across the street from the beach where we had lunch. Turns out the building it's in is one of the oldest buildings in the area- built in 1924! It was adorable, and the food was quite good.
Since there was really nothing to do there, we hopped straight back on the bike and headed down to Monterey. After another 40 miles, we arrived in Monterey and checked into the motel. First things first, we dumped everything on the bed, gathered all the dirty clothes and walked the couple of blocks to the nearest laundrette. There's something satisfying about clean clothes.
We came back to the room, got on the bike (my jeans were still warm, yummy!), and rode down to Cannery Row. We then walked up to Fisherman's Warf and found a place to have dinner. Very pretty place.
We've got some really nice photo's from today. Unfortunately, I can't stay upright anymore, so I'm going to go to bed. Hopefully we can get pictures up tomorrow.

Exuma report
This trip we fished the North end of the Island with two independent guides Cely Smith and Abby Mackenzie.
Wednesday 4/10
Found fish on the outgoing tide almost immediately up to 6lb. I managed two and lost another. Later, fishing from Celys skiff I had my best bonefish of the week at about 8lb. We continued to connect throughout the day. Finished in classic style with a double hook-up to tailing fish late in the incoming tide as the sun started to go down
Thursday 4/11
Fished the South side with Abby. We searched the flats early on but didnt locate any fish they had been there feeding holes were everywhere. They had obviously decided to feed on the outgoing tide for some reason. We tracked them down at the edge of another flat and had brisk action up until later on the rising tide. We did a sprint out to some Permit flats and they were there but tight lipped. There were also some very large Barracuda who had apparently been taking lessons from the Permit! Our day finished way out over a deep channel where we encountered a huge school of jacks up to 8 lb which kept us busy for the last couple of hours.
Friday 4/12
Once again, fishing the North side we found fish on the flats almost immediately. It was here that I managed to maintain my unbroken tradition of breaking a rod. This time it was my fault I let the rod slide tip first into the coral as I released my first fish of the day. The plink of a breaking rod tip is a familiar sound to me now! High point of the day was a visit to a small cay which has been in Celys family for generations. Complete with coconut palms, a cabana and its own resident school of medium seized bonefish cruising white sand flats its about as close as paradise gets!
Saturday 4/13
Headed straight out to the Tarpon holding spot since the tide was just right. And they were there - a group of three and a large single. They were resting under some rocks and the technique was to get up current and present a small fly on a dead drift. They showed interest almost immediately but my fish came after a couple of them decided to take a short swim before returning to their resting spot. As they swam back up current the target was relatively easy and the first fish obliged with a head and tail rise to the three-inch fly as delicate as any trout on a chalk stream. The similarity ended when I hit the fish with three hard strip strikes. The reaction was incredible. A continual series of acrobatics and drag burning speed for the first couple of minutes. Things then settled down to the traditional slug-out and thirty minutes later my first silver king came to hand. Pictures were taken, the fish revived and then we set about going after the big single. We set up a new shock tippet and my friend Clive did everything right. In fact it was almost a replay of the first fish except that this one was half as big again pushing 90lb. Abby had the leader in his hands after 45 minutes but at that point the 60lb fluorocarbon shock tippet gave out completely worn through. No picture but still a release and our second of the day. Not bad for Exuma! By this time the wind had started to kick up and the Permit flats would have to wait for another day.
As it turned out, the wind just kept getting stronger and pretty much put an end to fishing for the remaining two days. We did some exploring further down on the South side and came up with our own version of the death march. That story doesnt yet have an ending yet - we will be back!
Great trip Adrian,
I gotta try to get up north or over to Sandy Cay for some permit next time. Still love the bonefish but it would be nice to get into a permit someday ,gives me reason to keep trying. :)
I also made a commitment to myself to actually practice casting in the wind a lot more this year. I can't even guess how many oppurtunities I missed at big fish over the years because I just couldn't deliver that extra 10 feet.
11 months to work on it and I am starting Monday morning when I will catch my first striper of the year in the upper bay.;)

Leslie Puts the Love For Her Children To Music
I have been blessed with 3 amazing, beautiful children and have also been blessed with a wonderful, beautiful 'bonus' daughter. I still find it hard to believe that God would trust ME, with all my weaknesses and mistakes, to care for these precious souls. Being their mother is a job I was in NO WAY prepared for but the best job I have have ever had with daily rewards that are utterly priceless.

Even with Maine's short growing season, farmers all over the state are working to accommodate the needs of their customers who want to eat locally year-round. There are more winter farmers' markets and winter Community Supported Agriculture opportunities, and farmers are taking extra steps to get their products to the customer no matter the season.
They're not just selling grains, meat, and dairy products in addition to the traditional winter offerings of potatoes and turnips. Maine farmers have created online systems for customers to shop, they travel to parks and church basements for summer and winter markets, and even make deliveries.
Melissa White Pillsbury, the organic marketing coordinator of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, says she has seen an increase in winter farmers' markets over the past few years. She says farmers are connecting to customers in new ways, banding together to offer customers more of a selection, and reaching out to them online.
She adds that when customers participate in winter CSAs or farmers participate in a winter market they have a more steady cash flow, and will not deplete their reserves by the end of the season.
"Another benefit is maintaining customer contact year-round," Pillsbury says. "Being more visible and increasing (product) availability and convenience are ways to reach more customers. It is what people need to make buying local an option for them."
While CSAs are a popular way to support local farms by paying upfront for a season's worth of fresh food, there are a number of variations on the model — including self- or farmer-selected foods, and delivery or on-farm pickup.
Beth Schiller at Dandelion Spring Farm in Newcastle, said she used to follow a more traditional CSA format, but found the credit style works even better for her and her customers. Her CSA is year-round, and customers can select items whenever they want it. In the winter, she sells storage crops like cabbage, carrots, and potatoes, and home-raised pork, beef, and lamb. She also offers milk and eggs.
The model not only gives customers greater freedom in their food selections, but allows Schiller the ability to grow a wider variety of vegetables and extend her harvest through the winter.
Using an email system, customers select what they want and Schiller delivers the items to Portland and Rockland on a bi-weekly or monthly basis from November through May.
For Amy Sprague and Tom Harms of Wolf Pine Farm in Alfred, the answer was to offer a more traditional CSA, but in the winter months only.
After offering a traditional summer CSA for about eight years, Harms says they started the winter CSA in response to customers who didn't want their local-food options to end in October. The family spends their summers farming, and during the winter, partners with other farmers to offer grains, meat, storage vegetables, fruit, sea salt, and oils to their customers. This winter Harms said the farm sold 600 full shares, at $500 a share for 24 weeks of food. The website says the winter share provides enough vegetables for one to two people to eat them with most meals.

I played with my sister's barbies when I was little. Didn't turn me into a gay liberal though (not that there's anything wrong with that). Hell, I took their clothes off and made them do naughty things to each other. Ken raped the shite out them.
Kash, do you believe that gender roles are biological or societal?
Societal roles affected the biology of males and females through natural selection, ultimately sculpting physiology to match roles more perfectly.

quote:ic play is primarily shaped by socialization.
Biology appears to play a role. Several animal studies have shown that hormonal manipulation can reverse sex-typed behavior. When researchers exposed female rhesus monkeys to male hormones prenatally, these females later displayed male-like levels of rough-and-tumble play. Similar results are found in human beings. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic condition that results when the female fetus is subjected to unusually large quantities of male hormones—adrenal androgens. Girls with CAH tend to prefer trucks, cars, and construction sets over dolls and play tea sets. As psychologist Doreen Kimura reported in Scientific American, "These findings suggest that these preferences were actually altered in some way by the early hormonal environment." They also cast doubt on the view that gender-specif
yeah, he does have a rapist's wit.
quote:Looks like Sweden if fighting biology, not society. The society wants androgyny. They encourage and enforce it. But if they let kids "free play" the kids will follow gender patterns.
One Swedish school got rid of its toy cars because boys "gender-coded" them and ascribed the cars higher status than other toys. Another preschool removed "free playtime" from its schedule because, as a pedagogue at the school put it, when children play freely 'stereotypical gender patterns are born and cemented. In free play there is hierarchy, exclusion, and the seed to bullying.' And so every detail of children's interactions gets micromanaged by concerned adults, who end up problematizing minute aspects of children's lives, from how they form friendships to what games they play and what songs they sing.
