The only way for what you're alleging to make any sense is if more liberals than conservatives care about current events and the news. Do you believe that? I sort of doubt you do. I don't, but I suppose it's possible.
That site would be more interesting if it weren't quite so ironic... being wholly biased in your assault on bias is pretty hilarious to me. Anyway it's besides the point. I grant that there are plenty of examples of the media fawning over Obama just as there are plenty of examples of them stomping on him. You lose the bigger picture making vast lists of this stuff. Focus on whether it even makes sense. In this case it doesn't.i posted a link with facts on the bias in obamas favor, you still haven't answered me.
The only bias is toward ratings and circulation. Where slanting the coverage to a certain political viewpoint (which I've addressed above) does the trick, then they'll slant the coverage, and the demand for certain slants will be met with liberal and conservative coverage.
I said it above but it bears repeating. Why do you believe that capitalism doesn't apply to the news industry?
And there was equal number of ammo for the crazies under Bush. People think the moon landing is fake, of course they are going to question how our national security failed in the greatest way possible leading up to 9/11. Americans have a history of questioning the leaders who take us into a war(whether that war is justified or not). Personally, i think thats a damn good trait for us to have as a culture. The Iraq war was pursued under justifications that later proved to be false and the subsequent political maneuvering was ever shifting. That sort of atmosphere always attracts questioning and conspiracy theories.
I have yet to see any evidence that the media refuses to question Obama because they are afraid of being labeled racist. Heck, i dont see any hesitation from the media to beat him up in general. Bush had 12 embassies and consulates attacked, yet that was largely put on the backburner. Obama has 2 and its in the news for months, not to mention the Susan Rice fallout from that. You say people have tried to link Bush to the deaths of 3k Americans, how about the attempts to link Obama to Islam and terrorism?
If i were to say the words Benghazi, Solyndra, Obamacare, or Fast and Furious, almost everyone within listening distance would know exactly what i was refering to. Why? The attention the media gave to those subjects and the attacks they made on the President.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 6
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies".
you obviously didnt watch the movie. the movie mentions multiple times that he only saw his father a couple of times in his life. you cant ignore the fact that obama wrote a book called "DREAMS FROM MY FATHER", the movie goes over the book in detail. the laughable part is that alot of the movie is obama narrating the movie from his book. i suggest you watch it before you open your mouth.
The media was a lot harder on previous Presidents than this one. Hell, Reagan was crucified over Iran Contra to the point they had to have hearings. What have you heard about Fast & Furious past the first months firestorm? Carter was eaten alive for the US Embassy hostages. You never heard the outrage over Benghazi past November. Clinton couldnt get Healthcare done because of the press, this President did it with ease. Bush 1 died because the press regurgitated no new taxes, this President hires a tax cheat to head the treasury. Bush 2 was ridiculed for his vacations, this president fiddles while the economy burns and nothing in the media.
Dont be blind to the obvious. Theres no real difference between Bush2 and Obama policy wise....but Obamas Presidency has been handled much friendlier by the media. And it is true, from some corner, if you ever criticize Obama, you get called a racist. No President has had that advantage before.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Oh, and the movie wasnt about Obama supposedly rejecting to "American exceptionalism" and was basically a book review of Obama's book. Okay.
Part of the film summery:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016:_Obama's_AmericaD'Souza discusses Obama's father, Barack Obama, Sr., and what D'Souza describes as Obama Sr.'s anti-colonialist views of the British Empire. This, according to D'Souza, explains why Obama supposedly rejects American exceptionalism and why D'Souza believes he is attempting to "reshape America." D'Souza delves into what he terms the "founding fathers" from Obama's past, including Frank Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Edward Said, and Roberto Unger. As a result, the film argues that President Obama wants to reduce significantly the U.S.'s influence within the world while increasing the influence of nations that he believes have suffered or been held back economically or militarily due to U.S. and Western domination. To argue his case, DSouza interviews Shelby Steele, Paul Vitz, Alice Dewey, Paul Kengor, Willy Kauai, George Obama, Philip Ochieng, Joseph Ojiru, Daniel Pipes, David Walker, and Sarah Obama (off-screen).[12] The film warns that should Obama be elected to a second term, the ramifications will be far reaching. It ends by stating, "the future is in your hands
Stated goals of the film:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/2016_obamas_america/2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America's ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world. Love him or hate him, you don't know him. -- (C) Official Site
Reviews(from the same site as above):
The film flutters to the ground like so much GOP convention confetti, all assertions, few facts and little substance other than the conspiratorial right wing talking points that are D'Souza's bread and butter.D'Souza never actually shows...Obama's own words or deeds. Instead, he engages in guilt by association.2016: Obama's America comes to seem like clownish alarmist speculation taking place in an echo chamber of talking heads.Anti-Obama documentary trades objectivity for persuasion.So Obama is bringing socialism to America by 2016? That would explain why Bain Capital is making bigger donations to him than to its founder Mitt Romney.Boy, all that sounds completely and utterly different then those horribly threatening and extremely biased Michael Moore movies. I wonder where D'Souza learned him objective film making style:"2016: Obama's America" is the sort of paranoid, conspiracy-theory thriller I'm always a sucker for. But it's not as entertaining when it purports to be the truth.
Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...#ixzz2HKUg2RjhThe Texas theaters manager told The Hollywood Reporter that he received complaints over the decision to show the film, and other news outlets have accused DSouza of basing his documentary on lies. The moviemaker says he welcomes the controversy, and, ironically, says he got the idea on how to frame his documentary from another filmmaker with very different political leanings, the liberal director Michael Moore.
When he released Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004 ahead of the election, it sparked intense debate. I learned some lessons from Michael Moore, and hopefully he might learn some lessons from me about handling facts, DSouza told FOX411s Pop Tarts column. This film is a thriller, whatever you think and regardless of your politics, you are going to leave this movie going wow, I had no idea this was the man that has been in the White House for the past four years.
Darn you Obama-media and entertainment!!!!!

For many investors, buying French government bonds goes against their better judgment. But they are doing it anyway.
The demand has driven up prices of France's bonds and sent yields to their lowest level since the creation of the euro almost 14 years ago. Even the decision late Monday by Moody's Investors Service to cut France's triple-A credit rating to Aa1 did little to affect the rally: Yields, which move inversely to price, rose only slightly on Tuesday.
France, and its government led by President François Hollande, are benefiting not from an endorsement by investors but by the simple fact that French bonds are more appealing than those of many in the euro zone. They yield more than German bonds, making them attractive for investors seeking higher returns. And they are considered safer than bonds of Italy or Spain.
That attraction, and the sheer size of France's €1.19 trillion ($1.53 trillion) government-bond market, have overshadowed concerns about the French economy and the policies of Mr. Hollande.
"We don't like France's economic fundamentals and have doubts over the credibility of the Hollande administration," said Russel Matthews, who helps manage $20 billion of investment-grade debt, including French sovereign bonds, at BlueBay Asset Management in London. "At the same time, it is difficult to see a sharp selloff in French debt."
French government bonds have rallied in the six months since the presidential elections in May.
The country's borrowing costs at auction last week for two- and five-year bonds fell to a record low since the introduction of the euro. In the short term, investors are even paying to lend to the country, meaning a buyer pays more for debt than the amount that will be repaid when held to maturity.
The yield on the two-year French government bond rose just under 0.03 percentage point, to 0.139%, Tuesday. The 10-year bond added 0.08 percentage point, to yield 2.145%. That compares with a 10-year yield of 1.146% for German government bonds. Yields on comparable Spanish bond were little changed at 5.785%.
"There are not a lot of liquid alternatives to Germany if you want to stay invested in the euro zone, and France is not a bad place to be. France also benefits from a large domestic investor base," said Nick Gartside, head of international fixed income at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which manages about $148 billion in fixed-income assets.
The positive market sentiment contrasts with concerns about Mr. Hollande's ability to tackle France's economic woes. The outlook for growth in France has darkened since he was elected. Unemployment has risen above 10% as some French companies fired workers. The president unveiled a plan this month to boost French industrial competitiveness and lower labor costs, among the highest in Europe, but analysts said he is moving too slowly.
"It is striking that France is the only country in Europe where there isn't a feeling of urgency," said ING economist Julien Manceaux. "When you hear Mr. Hollande talk, it's more politics as usual than crisis."
Moody's said the government's overhaul measures "are unlikely to be sufficiently far-reaching to restore competitiveness." France's debt had risen to 91% of gross domestic product in the second quarter, past the 90% level that government ministers have said starts to pose a threat to growth.
To be sure, if the French economy worsens further that could drive investors out of the country's bonds, said Mitul Patel, who manages about £2.3 billion of government bonds at Henderson Global Investors. "If reforms are not made and fiscal tightening measures not adhered to, further downgrades may be made, which could lead to French government bonds performing relatively poorly," Mr. Patel said.
Nick Griffiths, head of global rates at Legal & General Investment Management in London, which oversees £391 billion ($622 billion) in assets, said he has noted interest among some investors in expressing a bearish view on France early in 2013. Mr. Griffiths said he favors French debt over German bonds.
Andrew Bosomworth, head of Pacific Investment Management Co.'s portfolio management in Germany, told a banking conference Tuesday that the Newport Beach, Calif., firm has ditched French and German government debt in favor of higher-yielding Italian and Spanish bonds. French bonds are too expensive, and German debt offers little return, he said. France is benefiting from its proximity to Germany, Mr. Bosomworth said. "If one, however, takes a look at the [French] economy, it is more similar to that of southern European countries," he said. "And then the price isn't appropriate."
"A lot of the Asian investor base has some tolerance for a downgrade to AA," said Mr. Matthews of BlueBay.

Cape May County's 'Women of Wonder' to Host Second Annual Event Oct. 24
September 25, 2012
Cape May County's "Women of Wonder LeagueSM" will gather at a "super-secret" location high atop the Wildwoods, 4-7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 24, for their second annual meeting and to honor the 2012 Women of Wonder award recipient.
The "WOW" event, spearheaded by Dr. Patricia Gentile, dean of Atlantic Cape Community College's Cape May County Campus, and Maria Kellett, director of major gifts, will focus attention on the ongoing education needs of at-risk students in Cape Educational COMPACT, the county's alternative high school. The college and COMPACT have a long and successful relationship that has significantly reduced dropouts, bolstered high school graduation and has encouraged graduates to pursue higher education.
The pre-Halloween meet and greet is part of Atlantic Cape's "Create Opportunity" Capital & Scholarship Campaign. Guests are encouraged to wear their favorite superhero costumes.
Dr. Gentile hopes other members of the newly formed WOW League will join her in contributing to a Scholarship Fund to support COMPACT students in attending classes at Atlantic Cape to further expand their educational horizons. COMPACT is also looking for volunteers for mentoring and educational experiences in support of their students.
"COMPACT students have not made it in the traditional high school setting, but there are many reasons—some have medical issues, some are victims of violence, some are in foster homes, some are homeless," Dr. Gentile said. "I've been so inspired by students I've met, their stories of courage and the daunting challenges they face. I'd like to ensure they can find the superhero inside to realize their dreams of a college education," she said.
The evening's program will showcase COMPACT students and a talk by two of the program's graduates. Dr. Gentile and COMPACT Principal Tracey Staab also will bestow a special commendation on Martina Singleton of Galloway, sexual assault program counselor at Coalition Against Rape and Abuse, Inc. Singleton has more than 15 years of experience at C.A.R.A, where she raises awareness through a variety of programs and activities to help victims of abuse in the community. Singleton has been a strong ally for COMPACT students who have been victims of violence.
Potential Cape May County "Women of Wonder" interested in attending to learn more about Atlantic Cape Community College programs with Cape Educational COMPACT should RSVP at www.atlantic.edu/wow. Refreshments will be served and costumes are optional.
"Create Opportunity: The Capital & Scholarship Campaign for Atlantic Cape Community College," is the college's first major gifts campaign. The campaign has two initiatives: increase college-based financial assistance by enhancing the scholarship endowment and secure funding to purchase furnishings and scientific equipment for the new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics facility to be built on the Mays Landing Campus. To learn more about Atlantic Cape's Capital & Scholarship Campaign and other investment opportunities, contact Maria Kellett, director of major gifts, at (609) 463-3670 or email@example.com, or visit www.atlantic.edu/create-opportunity.

The 5th point of the Scout Law tells us to be Courteous.
The other night as our Troop camped on the Oregon Coast we had an opportunity to discuss this fine point of the law.
You see, it seems that some of the Scouts did not understand the difference between having fun and being disrespectful.
By definition Courteous or Courtesy is a matter of manners and respect or consideration of others.
When it is quiet time in camp, it is quiet time in camp. That rule is not there to zap the fun out of the camping experience, rather, it is in place so that we all can enjoy a peaceful night, under the stars in the quiet of the woods.
So I found my way to the noisy patrol. They were not to hard to find. We had a discussion on Courtesy and having consideration of others. It comes down to respect and thinking of others needs before thinking of yourself.
I had the boys place their hands in front of their noses and then move their hands as far as the out stretched arm would take it. I had them focus on their hand, and then focus on what was beyond their hand.
This illustration showed them that they need to looked past themselves. To remember that there are others out there and that while they were having fun, they were taking away from the experience of the others.
The selfish act that they were demonstrating effected more than themselves.
Needless to say it got pretty quiet after that, and they still enjoyed the rest of the evening.
Too many times we let our selfish needs get in the way of courtesy. We tend to forget that by our actions we can be disrespectful and discourteous.
The Scout law asks all of us to remember to be Courteous.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Some here don't shoot live fliers for their dogs!!! Even a occasional pigeon really pumps them up. You can throw dead birds all day long, and yes they love it, but shoot a live flier and you will see a different dog. If I counted right about 30% here don't ever shoot birds for their dog which is sad. There is one that I did not include.
I dont have any stinkin guns!! MAN!!
Just a thought ... do you think that POTUS has jumped this gun on his "fundamental transformation" plan by coming out so aggressively on the gun issue right at the beginning of his 2nd term?
Even many who are liberals in other ways don't buy into this stuff about the long guns that he wants to regulate so heavily. When Harry Reid admits that gun legislation has no hope in the Senate, it's almost like he's saying he's not in favor of it coming to a vote.
Could this be a distraction from other stuff that's in the works? Immigration, debt ceiling, new taxes, more penalties for fossil fuels, refusal to make spending cuts ...

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant for Inherited Metabolic Disorders
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Rationale: Chemotherapy administration before a donor stem cell transplant is necessary to stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, the donor white blood cells can provide the missing enzyme that causes the metabolic disease. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, alemtuzumab, before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening. This may be an effective treatment for inherited metabolic disorders.
Purpose: The design of this study is to achieve donor cell engraftment in patients with standard-risk inherited metabolic diseases with limited peri-transplant morbidity and mortality. This will be achieved through the administration of the chemotherapy regimen described. The intention is to follow transplanted patient for years after transplant monitoring them for complications of their disease and assisting families with a multifaceted interdisciplinary approach.

Product Metrics
"Providing metrics on your project is a great way to be truthful and educational in your procurement and marketing practices."
Product and Project Metrics
Diversion Metrics are included in all projects that are getting Hang Tags or Metrics Summary Reports. These metrics relate to the weight of all materials contained in your merchandise. The data is categorized by what is reclaimed, recycled and virgin, and scrap rates. All weights are expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the product of which 100% is accounted for.
Footprint Metrics are the most accurate, complete carbon footprint metrics available per individual item and for a project in whole. Footprint metrics consist of the following: the footprint of the new material you avoided by choosing to support repurposed textiles, and any impacts on water, energy and fuel consumption required to manufacture your project. We also capture and report the noxious emissions of the top 6 green house gasses and 100% of the packaging used to fulfill your order. Additional fees apply for this service.
Metrics Summary Reports are available in two forms:
- Simple Form Reports are word documents in plain letter style. There are narrative paragraph sections and data sections displayed by simple graphs and tables.
- GRI Reports are also word documents, but written according to Global Reporting Initiative G3 reporting standards and in the same format with Indicator References. If your company reports according to GRI standards, you will be able to take your Metrics Summary Report and know exactly which Indicators and questions each metric relate to.
Your metrics can be included on Hang Tags or even screen printed on your product. Transparency and education at the point-of-sale is a powerful action forward along the BolderPath and your customers will really see the difference. To find out how to display metrics on your products, view our Customizations Page.
The Bill of GreenTM
BolderPath uses a comprehensive system that captures significant material and natural resource metrics for every design and production run. We utilize internal and external sources of data and analysis tools to calculate variables for transportation, processing, production and even location of manufacture. Our systems capture and evaluate real-time the many variances of material choice, collection method, labor and production allocations, and all transportation options, including fuel impact, maintenance and labor time. Every component has a weighted value based on the system objective being sustainability. Every weight has a dollar value assigned to it as well, so we can evaluate the profitability of manufacturing sustainably and how that compares to just producing green products.
If you believe your customer will respect and value a detailed account of your project's footprint, you should consider this service. Providing metrics on your project is a great way to be truthful and educational in your procurement and marketing practices. If you choose not to add this service, be assured that the metrics of your project will be included anonymously in BolderPath's next GRI Report.

Google (GOOG) CEO Larry Page came onstage at the end of the keynote session for the company's Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco, speaking in an especially soft, slightly halting cadence, displaying the paralyzed vocal chord he has written about.
Page spoke to the need to have "great user experiences" across multiple devices, including tablets, smartphones, and Google Glass. Technology should make things simpler, like Google Search or Google Now, "like a really smart assistant doing everything for you, so you don't have to think about it."
"We haven't seen this rate of change in a long time," said Page. "Probably not since the birth of personal computing. We at Google, and the rest of you, are really only at 1% of what's possible. And we're moving slower than we should. Probably some of that is due to the negativity. You know, almost every story I read is about Google fighting some other company, or some stupid thing. We need to focus on what's possible. We need to build things that don't yet exist."
Page went into an extended disquisition about how "technology frees us up to do other things." People in the future will think "we're just as crazy as we think people in the past were to farm and hunt all the time."
"We need more people like you, more kids falling in love with math and science. Computer science has a marketing problem."
The first question came from noted tech observer Robert Scoble, who called himself "one of the first glassholes," referring to his use of Google Glass. He asked Page to talk about sensors, including the sensor in Google Glass.
Page said everything would become simpler. He noted that he had to shut off "all my phones" before coming onstage. "That's crazy," he said, "technology is going to take care of that. Everything is going to become simpler."
Page was asked about whether the World Wide Web would remain the focus for innovation. He said he was "sad" at the poor state of Internet standards, and called out Microsoft (MSFT) for using Google's application programming interface, but not opening up access to Microsoft's own interfaces.
Asked about Google Fiber, the company's city-by-city rollout of fiber optic cable, Page said he was "really excited," but things are "just getting started."
"Gigabits are probably just the beginning; we need low-latency connections similar to what you have inside your computer."
Asked about "real-world" initiatives such as the company's work on a self-driving car, Page said that his "compatriot" Sergey Brin is "focused on atoms, not bits," and that the company can scale by taking a longer time frame to development with less interaction."
"I encourage companies to do more things that are a little outside their comfort so, because I think it can give you greater scale. The technology for doing mapping and doing automated cars turns out to be the same. We have a couple of people who just moved over from that [cars] to maps. So every time we do something crazy, we've made progress. So we've become a bit emboldened. No matter how much money we spend on automated cars, or Gmail, in the early stages, it turns out to be a small amount. They are small cheques, so they don't have a big affect on the business."
Asked about Google Glass, Page said he couldn't say what the "production run" will be for the device. Google is focused on getting the "basic experience right … so that we can have happy users." He said as a parent of small children, he loves the photo-taking capability of Glass. He also said it was ideal for navigation. "If you're walking around Manhattan, getting information is incredibly useful."
Smartphones, Page said, are "relatively expensive," with the raw material costs — glass and silicon — is "probably like $1, or something like that. I think glass if 50 cents a pound. Phones don't weigh very much. So I think when I see people in industry making things, I ask this question, how far are you off the raw materials costs. So as an engineer, trying to go to first principles, what is the real issue? What's the real issue around our power grids, or around manufacturing? I think a lot of people don't ask those questions, and because of that, we don't make the progress we need to. If you're going to make a smartphone for a dollar, that's almost impossible to do. But if you took a fifty-year view, you'd probably make the investments you need to, and you'd probably even figure out how to make money. So, I encourage non-incremental thinking."
Page was asked about Oracle (ORCL), which controls the Java standard, and which has sued Google. "Money is more important to them than having any collaboration. I think we'll get through that. And I think Android is very important to the Java ecosystem, so I think we'll get through that."
When Page was asked what could be done to combat some of the "negativity" he had mentioned, he said probably some of the general negativity in the world had to do with the law, which is probably "out of date," he said. "When we went public, the laws about that were 50 years old," said Page. "How could those laws be up to date? It's crazy." Page suggested that areas of experimentation, such as the Burning Man festival might be one way for society to experiment in a controlled fashion in areas that allow for change.
Page was asked about the company's efforts in the area of health. "We didn't make much progress there, and we found that a lot of the issues were regulatory. We weren't able to move much beyond [what we accomplished] because of all the constraints."
Page said things such as DNA sequencing, eventually available for $1 per person, would help with health issues. He also noted his own disclosure of his vocal chord issue. "I think I probably should have disclosed that sooner. Why are people so concerned about keeping their medical records private? Probably because of insurance. Perhaps we should have a system in which people can just be insured."

It didn't help me that everything I was able to get my dog to do was the coolest thing ever, like casting and sitting on the whistle, because it was my first dog. Although I had been told, I didn't fully understand until I tried to get my dog to sit still and be quiet in a duck blind or walk at heel on all four feet into a holding blind at a hunt test that 95% of what you need your dog to do is sit still and be quiet and heel with you under control.
I know better now. I also understand that if you are only going to get a percentage of the standard that you get around the house and in the yard then your standard around the house and in the yard better be pretty dang high. Not to mention that I am no longer absolutely terrified that each time a give a correction I am risking completely ruining my dog.
I think some of you more experienced folks have forgotten a little bit of what it was like trying to feel your way around this whole dog training thing before the whole "the older I get the better I was" syndrome kicked in.

The following is a summary of major changes to the quota hunt program and application process, beginning with the 2009-10 hunting season:
-[size=50] [/size]Quota hunt types will be expanded from 3 (Archery/Muzzleloading Gun, General Gun and Spring Turkey) to 5 types (Archery, Muzzleloading Gun, General Gun, Wild Hog and Spring Turkey).
-[size=50] [/size]All quota permits will be nontransferable, with 2 exceptions: Holton Creek WMA Mobility-Impaired hunts and Blackwater WMA dog hunts.
-[size=50] [/size]One nontransferable guest permit may be issued for each nontransferable quota permit.
-[size=50] [/size]Phase I application period will be 30 days from 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) June 1, 2009 to 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) June 30, 2009.
-[size=50] [/size]The preference point system will be cumulative, adding a point each year you are not drawn in Phase I for each hunt type.
-[size=50] [/size]Permit holders who receive a nontransferable permit and are unable to use it may return their permit to the Commission for reissuance. Preference points are returned to Phase I permit holders, and an additional point is awarded for the current year to permit holders who return permits, if postmarked prior to the first day of the hunt.
-[size=50] [/size]Nontransferable permits that are lost may be replaced at any license agent or tax collector office for the normal permit replacement fee.
-[size=50] [/size]Most quota permits will no longer be mailed. Only Mobility Impaired, Tracked Vehicle and Airboat quota permits will be mailed to the applicant. All other permits may be picked up at the customer's convenience from Tax Collectors' offices or from any business that sells FWC licenses.
[font=wingdings]§[size=50] [/size]This change was done primarily as a cost reduction for FWC. Also, customers have suggested that the mailings are untimely (ether too far before the hunt or too late) and permits frequently have been lost in the mail or returned as undeliverable.

Anyone else a little bit bored of waiting for Web 3.0 to arrive?
So I'm sitting there with a rare opportunity to watch some television, and I find something in the guide I want to watch (seriously, why don't TV remotes have QWERTY keyboards, or even predictive text like a Nokia in the 90s?), and I switch over, but apparently advertisements take up half the listed running time of a TV show, so I'm stuck with some dumb ad for some dumb exercise bike. Only this is a super 21st Century exercise bike, and its control screen is wirelessly hooked into Google Maps. It is in fact an internet-connected exercise bike, which maybe no one saw coming when they laughed at the idea of internet-connected fridges. You use Google Maps to select a real-world cycle route, and the bike emulates the slope of the road as you progress.
Or, put another way, it's a device that processes and physically responds to remote digital data without significant human action. It's the blunt end of the Internet Of Things. One step down from, say, house lights that know when you're coming home, or a toaster that tweets. (I recently saw a project, and I can't remember where, in which a toaster is wired to tweet if it's not being used enough, and starts to beg for a new owner who will make better use of it.)
The Internet of Things, often written IoT, is something that people are looking at this year. Like, say, Google Glass, it's one of those touchstones for The Next New Normal. Ignoring the fact that Google Glass glasses will this year only go to developers prepared to pay $1500 a pop and that they currently don't do much of anything. It seems that they're all in some kind of collected space: that IoT and Google Glass and 3D printing and a bunch of other things will all somehow connect together and bring on, I dunno, Web 3.0.
I remember, in the 00s, watching some hideous Bay Area vox-pop internet video in which each mini-interview concluded with the interviewer asking "Whaddaya think of Web 2.0?" A few years before that, I was invited to a panel at a digital conference with someone from Aardman Animation to talk about storytelling, only to have someone stand up and ask what the B2B applications were. B2B stood for Business To Business, and represented the idea that businesses could sell other businesses their worthless crap and somehow not need actual customers at all. It was the full sequence of the Human Centipede as a business model, basically.
Some pundits are saying that's all coming back this year, because one huge bubble-burst wasn't enough. The same sort of utter cultural tonedeafness that led one Marc Benioff, back in '11, to declare that "entrepreneurs" should listen to Occupy Wall Street and its many business lessons in order to learn how to "Occupy The Enterprise". This is the sort of thing that's emboldened Marxists to start talking in public again about "late capitalism" in the last ten years. When Marxists, who are marginally more annoying even than a toaster that tweets for some fucking hippie to rescue it, begin to sound like they might have a point, you know you're living in the shit years.
The ground this group of Next Internet Stuff stands on is shaky enough that people are trying to disrupt them before they start. Military theorist and resilience pundit John Robb is pitching the idea of Dronenet: using drones to deliver goods so quickly that using and buying a 3D printer becomes a hassle and a worthless extravagance. He calls it an Internet Of Drones, which seems to me to be essentially indivisible from an Internet Of Things.
An Internet Of Things is in fact a wonderful idea. A world where devices report, learn, remember and aid. But it's also a world spawning a desperate "entrepreneurial" class born of stern austerity and sociopolitical upheaval. In the Human Centipede Business Model, why not try to crush 3D printing while using a wondrous possibility to re-invent Amazon next-day shipping? Why not think very hard to find ways to keep things as half-useful and basically shitty as your standard TV remote control?
Why not pedal as fast as you can to go nowhere?

I am ashamed to admit this, but my response was "Who?"
Maybe it's the milquetoast name, which could be the moniker of any white male, from serial killer to land baron. I'm sure, at some point, I'd heard of him. The title of his most famous novel, "The Infinite Jest," was familiar.
As more and more news stories hailed his literary genius cut short, I didn't know what to think. People had good things to say, sure, but people usually have good things to say when someone dies. There's often a litany of hyperbolic praise, claims of "genius". Reality gets blown out of proportion.
What if Eddie Vedder had blown his own head off at a home on Lake Washington? What if Paul McCartney had been gunned down on a street in New York. Would "Evenflow" be the anthem of a decade? Would "Maybe I'm Amazed" be considered the greatest rock tune of all-time?
(No and no. But it's enough to wonder.)
The point is, I hardly wanted to become one of those people who jumps on the dead-artist bandwagon.
Then Dan handed me DFW's book of essays, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. The collection's first essay, on Midwestern winds and youth tennis, was interesting but wordy. I bogged down on the next one, which alarmed me because it was a piece on television (one of my favorite subjects). I respected the writing. It was obvious both that Wallace was a brilliant thinker and wordsmith, and that he somehow managed to avoid pretension. But I couldn't get into it.
Then, for some reason, I skipped to the back and read his essay on a Carribean cruise, the essay the collection is named after. It took three paragraphs, the third of which was only one sentence long...
"I have (very briefly) joined a Conga Line."...and I was sucked in. I've blown through every other essay in the book. I now cannot imagine a world without the writing of David Foster Wallace, which is painful because what is out there now is all we'll ever have.
From all accounts, Wallace's essay writing is more light-hearted than his fiction, so I'm not sure A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again is emblematic of his writing as a whole. I know it's a good place to start, though.
I'm a bit obsessed now (Dan claims the same tendency). I've been reading through every article I can find on him, from an excellent remembrance in Rolling Stone to an essay on Roger Federer in Play Magazine to the best graduation speech you'll ever read. I can't get enough of his writing.
It's not just Wallace's ability to spin words and phrases (though he does those things as well as anyone I've ever read). Anyone can write well with practice.
It's Wallace's insight that made him so unbelievably great. In some ways, he's the perfect writer: a nearly holy amalgamation of intellect, aesthetic sense, and empathy. It's almost not surprising, given his unnatural insight and mind, he would take his own life. The tortured artist archetype is cliche, but like all cliches, it is rooted in reality. From the RS piece, it seems clear Wallace was dealing with the same insecurities many artists feel: reality in opposition to idealism; authenticity in opposition to feeling like a fraud. You can also see times where he was healthy, where he distanced himself from self-obsession.
(Wallace) said one interviewer had devoted tons of energy to the genius question. "That was his whole thing, 'Are you normal?' 'Are you normal?' I think one of the true ways I've gotten smarter is that I've realized that there are ways other people are a lot smarter than me. My biggest asset as a writer is that I'm pretty much like everybody else. The parts of me that used to think I was different or smarter or whatever almost made me die."His best essays are written from this perspective, like when he marvels as a mere mortal at the craft of professional tennis players, or writes of his fellow cruisers with affection and solidarity. I wish he could've stayed in that frame of mind.
All that's to say, if you're blissfully unaware of David Foster Wallace the way I was, pick up A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Start at page 256. I swear you will be glad you did.
(Dan wrote a lovely blogpost about Wallace two days after he died. Here's that.)

And how is it working out? Is it painfully slow, or do I have to finally break down and get a broadband connection to really enjoy this game?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Actually, my network card died, and I have been playing on dialup the last week and a half. Other than downloading patches, I have noticed little to no difference in playing the game itself. It should be fine for anyone with dialup.

Well that'll send me over the edge. Guess I'll see everyone soon!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Don't forget to post your character name, location, server, etc when you get online. And make sure you go to Chilastra if you can.
I haven't really had any problems w/ the dial up either.

got paid today.............so i bought a new video card, some more memory and star wars galaxies. :happy:
my initial impressions of this game are kinda mixed.........the graphics are super, i love the way my character runs, it looks like they used actual motion capture images of real people running............and the landscape is beautiful.
but a few things have me disapointed. i really don't like the combat function. correct me if i'm wrong, but my character fights automatically? that's no fun! .............and i think i've only met one real person so far..........i guess all the imperial officers and most locals are computer controlled?
i'm on the Chilastra server, but i'm on corellia, as i was not allowed to go to tatooine or naboo.........i guess they are too crowded???
i've never played one of these games before.....so what am i supposd to do? run errands for others? explore the countryside?
Well derek since you are new to these types of games I'll let you know something...not a MMORPG exists where there is twitch aka FPS style combat. SWG will eventually have it though, but only in space. So if your not used to it, it can be quite a change but the game is great so it won't matter eventually.
As for what to do, SWG lets you do pretty much anything you want, but I'll break it down as simply as I can. You can be a fighter, an entertainer, or a crafter. So ask yourself what you want to do, feel like beating things up play as a marksman or brawler. Feel like sitting in a cantina all day dancing or playing music, be an entertainer. Feel like finding resources and then crafting pretty much anything you can think of, be an artisan.
But I would say that one is really missing out on combat if they don't take that path...at least a little bit. It's really where the bulk of the game is. So I suggest taking marksman and running around the city you started in blasting the creatures you see. Also the manual is really helpful I find, or check the holocron in game by hitting ctrl+h.
Most importantly though, have fun, and I hope I see you in game.
I hated the combat as well at first, but I got used to it after awhile.

this game is pretty cool, but i really doubt i'll continue to pay $15 a month to play it. if the combat system was more hands on, and if we had vehicles like speeders and starships i'd definately stick around, but as it stands now, i don't know if this is my kind of game, running errands, standing around in a bar and wondering around lost in the woods.......especially when it costs $15 a month to play!
maybe if it were a few bucks i'd reconsider, maybe like $20 a year.............i'd really like a combat system like "legend of zelda: ocreana of time" had which allowed you to controll the combat.
too bad they don't have an option for folks who prefer a more action based game, which would let people like me be a rebel trooper, stormtrooper or sand person from the start and immediately get into battles/raids on settlements.
I understand how you feel derek. Perhaps if you played again when such features are enabled? The downside to that is you wouldn't be able to afford a speeder or whatever since you wouldn't have earned the money. But hey, when I'm a creature trainer, and mounts are enabled, I'll give you a discount on an animal you can ride on.

One word sums up prety much everything I feel about Hell Verse: sadness. I'm sad because I know Kubo looked forward to Hell Verse as a project because it was the first Bleach movie he was allowed to help producing and he did a lot of color spreads, wrote the backstory and developed the concept into something that could potentially had become a great, almost canon Bleach movie. Alas, this is not the case as most of Kubo's ideas were discarded and it was too late to do anything about it. As a diehard Bleach fan, this was very easy to notice. I can spot the aspects Kubo had in the writing, but it's not... See full review
If you mix Naruto with a fair dose of Harry Potter, the result would be Soul Eater. Soul Eater got many elements typical to a shounen, while at the same time being more of an ensemble-type of show focusing on the school life of the main characters. At its best Soul Eater is a highly entertaining and ultimately stylish show, while at its worst it feels like carbon-copy shounen without much depth or anything new to offer.
One of the most uneven aspects of Soul Eater is its story. It consists of two main arcs separated into two seasons telling the story of Maka and her friends training to become... See full review
Mononoke is truly a gem within the horror genre and certainly deserves to be seen at least once (this review is based on a rewatch). It mixes a unique animation and art direction style with a story telling more akin to that of Mushishi. Indeed, one could say that if Mushishi was ever made into horror, the result would be Mononoke. Similar to Mushishi, Mononoke has therefore no overarching plot to speak of; instead we have four smaller acts inserted over the course of 12 episodes. The only thing all acts got in common is the presence of the mysterious Medicine Seller who exorcises the world from mononoke... See full review
Jigoku Shoujo is one of those anime where you wonder what all that hype is based around. What really disappointed me the most was that for a 26 episode long anime, only 4 of those focused on the main plot, making me wonder why this anime was not made into an OVA or half season, since the format would've fit so much better. Further, I ended up with a bad aftertaste of Jigoku Shoujo trying to mimic Le Portrait de Petite Cosette that I think is a superior anime in that it achieved its goals, Jigoku Shoujo doesn't. The similarities between the shows are striking, as well. We have a girl who is... See full review
Night Head Genesis is one of those series that carries the potential to become great but yet somehow ends up mediocre. The story focuses on the two brothers, Naoto and Naoya, who were born with psychic powers and were thus locked away from society for 15 years until they finally managed to escape. The first half which focuses on Naoto and Naoya trying to recover their lost past is thus quite engaging and interesting, and it helps the viewers to understand the characters better. However, from this point onward, Night Head Genesis rapidly takes a turn towards the worse and steadily progresses from being midly... See full review


text: I see no problem with the thread. The people we hire to hire these "non-essentials" gave them the title. What is non-essential? Not necessary for world peace? Not necessary for recreation, collecting taxes, bombing countries, patrolling borders and national monuments, Obama's servants, Congress? Maybe a definition of essential employees is in order. those necessary to keep the government running. Non-essential to me in not frigging needed ever and should be eliminated.

No Bake | Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse … delicious eggless dessert in season #vegetarian
"It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart."
Rainer Maria Rilke
Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse … yes, it's that time of the year yet again. SPRING! I love it. It's euphoria all around with new leaves unfurling everyday, flowering tomato plants that hold promise of a 'good crop', herbs that finally begin to expand like there's no tomorrow. Also days when quark gets made beautifully and with ease!And if there is homemade quark on hand, can dessert be far behind? I make huge amounts of quark, a curd cheese I love to love. Ever since I first discovered it 5 years ago, thanks to Hoglet K from Down Under, it has brought about a change in the way I think 'desserts'.Quark isn't just the sweet way home. I use it often to add wonderful tangy flavour to chicken like in theis Chicken Quark Cross Over Puff Pastry, as part of creamy dressings, in cold potato salads, in stir fries etc. A little goes a long way and once you start exploring, you will find a billion novel ways to include it in your everyday food.
I made Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse just before we left for a short vacation {which might explain why it's been so quiet around PAB}. The mousse was addictive and a huge hit with everyone. It got added texture from some chocolate coated homemade granola which I was experimenting with.
I love the way the colours, textures and flavours came together in this dessert which is a celebration of spring. These days we have a virtual flood of seasonal fruit in the market with cape gooseberries {locally called 'rhasbhari' meaning filled with juice} and strawberries ruling the roost. It's a riot of colour with the fruit piled up high at local bazaars and on handcarts lining the roadside.
With daytime highs already hitting the early 30's, it's just a matter of days before summer arrives. Then of course we'll welcome days of luscious stone fruit; sizzling hot 45C+ temperatures will be part of the deal though! Until then, this is a great way to enjoy spring fruit.
You can go the salad route too with them! Rocket or mixed salad greens, strawberries, cape gooseberries, feta or cottage cheese, grapes, walnuts, orange, red onion all tossed in a nice tangy orange vinaigrette!
Recipe: Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse
Summary: Light, healthy, addictive, refreshing, Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Quark Mousse is a wonderful spring dessert. Use fruit in season to give a burst of natural flavours and sweetness! Serves 6-8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
- Quark Mousse
- 300g quark, chilled
- 300g low fat cream, chilled
- 50g powdered sugar
- Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry reduction
- 200g strawberries, chopped
- 100g cape gooseberries, chopped
- 50g brown sugar
- 15ml balsamic vinegar
- 1 vanilla bean shell {I save mine in a sugar jar after using the insides}
- Quark Mousse
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat until smooth and thick.
- Reserve 100g quark mousse and 50g fruit reduction for topping. Mix the remaining mousse and fruit together gently and spoon into serving dishes/glasses.
- Add a sprinkling of chocolate coated granola if desired.
- Keep 4-6 tsps of fruit, and mix the rest through the reserved mousse. This will just give additional layers of colour. Top the glasses with the second mix, and then top with the remaining reserved fruit reduction.
- Garnish with fresh fruit, mint leaves and chocolate granola.
- Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry reduction
- Place all ingredients in a non reactive heavy bottom pan and simmer until it gets nice and thick and syrupy. Cool completely and then chill. Use as required. {This can be made a couple of days before and refrigerated. Other than reducing work, it also preserves the fruit for a little longer}.

Bill Ryusaki
Bill Ryusaki Hawaiian Kenpo Karate
Bill Ryusaki is the founder of Hawaiian Kenpo Karate. During his years as a martial arts instructor Master Bill Ryusaki has trained some of the world's best fighters including the famous Urquediz family.
As a youngster living in Hawaii, Bill Ryusaki and his brothers were forced to study Shotokan karate. "I have 7 brothers, and my father was our teacher, Master Bill Ryusaki said. "He taught us Shotokan karate and Kodokan judo. Training was not an option, it was something he made us do every day."
Years later while in college Bill Ryusaki got into a fight with several Samoan's who beat him up, despite his Shotokan training. It was then that he began searching for ways to improve upon his traditional karate techniques.
"I started working with Mariano Tiwanak, a famous Hawaiian boxer who also trained in Kenpo karate, explained Master Bill Ryusaki. "That was my introduction to Kenpo".
Following college Bill Ryusaki moved to California where he met and trained with and taught for Ed Parker, John Leione and Edwin Tibayan. While maintaining his father's roots in Shotokan, Bill began incorporating elements of Kenpo and Judo into his own style of fighting, which eventually became known as Hawaiian Kenpo.
During the 70's & 80's Master Bill Ryusaki had karate fighting teams that were virtually unstoppable. Today Bill Ryusaki continues to train and teach his unique style of martial arts. With more than 200 schools worldwide his students continue along the path Bill paved decades earlier.
"We are Kenpo at heart, however, we are always evolving and accept any style into our system," Says Master Bill Ryusaki.

Several months back I received a Globe bicycle on loan. Cyclists around the world have been testing and blogging about these bikes. Here's the Canadian "Globers" site: http://globerevolution.ca/theglobers/
I still have the bicycle for a few more months and plan to give it a good winter test now that we're really experiencing frozen winds, slushy streets and salty roads.
The review below was also posted here:
I've been riding on the streets of Toronto on my Globe Haul 1 for several months now. I've gone on shopping expeditions to St. Lawrence Market and made quick trips around my neighbourhood. My Globe has delivered me safely home in the early hours of the morning and has always been ready for me when I get the need to ride late at night.
A bicycle is a bicycle. Simple, I know. Two wheels, handlebars, pedals, a frame and a seat. Of course, there's more to a bicycle than just the sum of its parts. There's the intent of the designers. There's the materials used. And there's the potential within to take you to new places.
The Globe Haul 1 aims to take you places where you're going to want to take items home with you. It is designed to take you there when the streets are wet. It is ready to go when the sun has set. And it wants to you feel comfortable all along the way.
First, let's look at how the Globe Haul 1 let's you do just that; haul.
Integrated into the frame, a large rear rack supports up to 90 lbs. In order to add a bit more functionality to the Elm wood deck, I added a fruit crate. With just a few bungee cords I'm able to carry groceries and other items easily. Adding weight to the rear of the bicycle is barely noticeable except on steeper hills. Cornering isn't affected so long as you secure your load.
Rails are placed below the rack deck to allow for panniers. An integrated pannier hook also helps when mounting bags. Unfortunately, the rails were too wide for my Mountain Equipment Co-op panniers' mounting clips. Replacement clips are available and other makes may have larger clips to work with these rails.
The Haul 1 comes equipped with an 8-speed Shimano rear derailleur and double front crank chainrings to give you enough gearing options for when your trips take you up hill or down.
For Toronto's salty winters and sandy springs I'd prefer an internal hub gear setup to help against wear. The Haul 2 model does comes with this, but for those looking at the attractive price of the Haul 1, a little maintenance and elbow grease should keep you rolling year round.
The Globe Haul 1 also comes standard with full metal front and rear fenders. Installing fenders under the integrated rear rack could be a big pain if you are unexperienced and impatient. Quite frankly, I'm both, so I'm glad I didn't have to worry about that. The metal fenders are also curved around the edges to keep even more water from spraying you. I've gone out after a few rainfalls and have never had to worry about the dreaded "skunk stripe" and other dirty marks from road water.
Another very appealing aspect of the Globe Haul 1 is the integrated front and rear lights:
The rear light has three settings; constant, flashing and dazzling. The dazzling setting is somewhat similar to the back and forth sway of the front light on the Knight Rider KIT car. The LED lights are powered by two AAA batteries and the tucked away light should be safe from damage should the bicycle fall. The flash of the rear light is bright and is hard to miss. It is also larger than many other lights on the market, and since it's mounted permanently to the frame there's no need to worry about bulk. However, you may want to bring a spare red light with you if you plan on carrying a large load. My fruit crate often covers the light if I secure it further back on the rack.
The front light has two settings; constant and flashing and is a powerful white light. It too is integrated, this time into the stem and it seems as though it will stay put over time. My only issue with the light is that it points too high. I can often see my light flickering above store awnings, which means it isn't shining on the road ahead of me. The light may not be powerful to illuminate a dark path, but it is bright enough to be noticed for safety. EDIT: Since writing this I learned that there's a little screw hiding behind the light casing. Remove the light, loosen the screw and reposition the light, so simple, of course I missed it!
Comfort is a priority for many of the Globe bikes and the Haul is no exception. I find the swept-back handlebars to be easy to handle and comfortable to grip. While you're not going to be flicking this bicycle around, I found the steering to still be quite nimble for maneuvering around the potholes on Toronto's ever-crumbling roads.
The frame geometry provides an upright riding position. I found that keeping my head up wasn't a problem on this bicycle and it actually allows me to take in a bit more of what is going on around me.
For day-to-day riding I find the Globe Haul to be an excellent bike. The integrated rack and lights as well as full fenders mean that this bicycle is ready to go right away with no add-ons (aside from a few bungee cords) needed.

Science and Mystery conference to be held at Binghamton University
A symposium titled "Science and Enduring Mystery" will be held Friday and Saturday, October 13 and 14, in the Binghamton University Public Service Programs Center.
The symposium will bring together scientists, philosophers, and religious scholars to explore questions such as; does science support religion or is science itself the religion of the future? The symposium will explore a sentiment that is becoming increasingly widespread throughout the sciences- the universe may be too strange to understand. Many scientists and other researchers have come to accept that there may well be crucial questions we need answered, but which we can never answer. Such questions therefore become enduring mysteries.
Speakers include Lee Worth Bailey of the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Ithaca College, Gregory Chaitin, of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Terrence Deacon of the Department of Anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley and Jay Garfield of the Department of Philosophy at Smith College. Binghamton University professors Eric Dietrich and Stephen David Ross are conference co-chairs.
Admission to the symposium is free and open to the public, although registration is recommended, as a free lunch will be served on both days.
The event is sponsored by the Binghamton University Center for Philosophy, Interpretation and Culture and the Provost's Office.

Users will also be able to download images and information on a wide range of artworks in the collection as well as publications and education material. Access to the online collection, library catalogue and archive collections will follow shortly.
The new site will provide up-to-date information and keep the public informed on day-to-day events and news.
