Poor George Soros vs the Poor Koch Brothers
posted at 8:13 pm on February 1, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
The time comes yet again to take what shall doubtless be a decidedly unpopular position. It was brought to mind when I read this piece in the Wall Street Journal by Theodore Olson titled, "Obama's Enemies List." The tag line for the piece pretty much says it all. David and Charles Koch have been the targets of a campaign of vituperation and assault, choreographed from the very top.
In it, Olson argues quite forcefully that the Koch brothers have been torn from the peace and quiet of their private lives by a cruel political machine seeking to make hay off their names.
How would you feel if aides to the president of the United States singled you out by name for attack, and if you were featured prominently in the president's re-election campaign as an enemy of the people?
What would you do if the White House engaged in derogatory speculative innuendo about the integrity of your tax returns? Suppose also that the president's surrogates and allies in the media regularly attacked you, sullied your reputation and questioned your integrity. On top of all of that, what if a leading member of the president's party in Congress demanded your appearance before a congressional committee this week so that you could be interrogated about the Keystone XL oil pipeline project in which you have repeatedly—and accurately—stated that you have no involvement?
Consider that all this is happening because you have been selected as an attractive political punching bag by the president's re-election team. This is precisely what has happened to Charles and David Koch, even though they are private citizens, and neither is a candidate for the president's or anyone else's office.
It's difficult to even know where to begin with this litany of complaints. The shorter – and certainly somewhat cheaper – angle would be to note the blind eye being turned when the shoe is on the other foot. Conservatives frequently and correctly cite press reactions to misdeeds by the Obama administration by asking, "can you imagine what would happen if Bush had…?" And it's true.
But in this case, Olson fails to note that the Koch Brothers have an equally active and publicly abused doppelganger in the form of… (you all know where this is going, so say the name with me now…) George Soros. George is also a very wealthy man who has chosen to employ his wealth in the political arena in an attempt to effect change. And his name is regularly vilified in conservative circles. We're not just talking about random bloggers or chat room denizens here. It took no more than fifteen seconds on a quick Google search going back less than 48 hours to find his name being bandied about by Newt Gingrich in an attack on Mitt Romney. The man's name is brandished by conservatives up and down the line like an industrial size can of mace.
Now many of the folks gathered around this particular campfire may be saying, "and rightly so! Soros should be vilified!" And you'd be right. I absolutely agree. But the reason why I feel this is so brings us back to the original question.
Having been a player in this game for a while now, up to and including running campaigns at the congressional level, I look at it as something of a blood sport. I happen to enjoy it. But I'm also mindful of the fact that there are many people out there who have no interest in our game and are simply trying to get on with their lives. If you are, for example, the owner of a dry cleaning shop who happens to get caught up in a political story, it can turn out to be a disaster. Even if you happened to be involved in some business contract with somebody who once worked with a company in Iran, or if you offered a standard health plan which was inclusive of some services offered at Planned Parenthood, I would strenuously object to your suddenly being thrust into the political arena and having your life disrupted against your will. You weren't part of our war and I have no interest in seeing you become collateral damage in one of our battles.
This can not be said of either the Koch brothers or of George Soros. Had these men stuck to, as Olson put it, managing "businesses that provide employment" and living their lives, they should be kept out of the fight. But none of them did. They suited up and put themselves on the field of play. By choosing to dive into political spending and activism, they were no longer observing the war from afar… they were combatants. And when you load up and begin shooting you can expect to pull some return fire.
Defend them as you wish, and with good cause, just as liberals will defend Soros to the end of time, I'm sure. But claiming that it is somehow unfair for politicians, politicos and activists to stuff them into the mix is a sad attempt at feigning outrage. George Soros, David Koch and Charles Koch are all big boys. They knew the bloody battle they were entering when they set foot on the field. I'm sure they can take the heat when it comes back at them.

Do Your Initial Market Research To Get The Edge
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Planning
Many Internet businesses are started by people who have only a casual knowledge of the inner workings of the medium. The world wide web is a global, interconnected network of information which people can access from just about anywhere - home or work, computer or cell phone, wired or wireless. This gives you one clear advantage running a business on the Internet over running it in a physical office or brick-and-mortar storefront - unlike a business or resource one would have to travel to, yours is only a click away. There are a few things you should look in to before jumping in head first.

Sprint Begins EV-DO Rollout
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Business Tools
Sprint has finally started a hushed down rollout of their EV-DO high speed wireless service. They have recently turned the service on in the Port Columbus International Airport, Charlotte International Airport, Columbus, Ohio, and Kansas City. The next cities scheduled to receive Sprint's EV-DO treatment are Las Vegas, New Orleans, Cleveland, Raleigh-Durham, Des Moines, and St. Louis. While this is certainly a move in the right direction for Sprint, one of the last ones to enter into the high speed mobile data services, they have yet to release any EV-DO capable phones onto their network, therefore you will need to use the Sierra Wireless Aircard 580 card to use the service.
Seattle Gets Pre-WiMax Via Speakeasy
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Business Tools, News
Businesses based in Seattle has a new high speed data alternative available to them which launched this past week. Speakeasy has put a Pre-WiMax antenna at the top of the world famous Space Needle. In conjunction with Intel and Alvarion, Speakeasy has made it known that the high speed network will cover a five-mile radius around the city's most famous landmark, offering customers two data plans to choose from. Bruce Chaterly, Speakeasy CEO, announced that this is the biggest deployment of this technology thus far in North America with six towers in total having been erected in the city. Of course, with bleeding edge technology comes high prices. For a 3.0 Gb bandwidth plan, the price is $500 per month. There is also a 6.0 Gb plan which can be had for $800 per month. At first glance, this looks a bit steep - however, many companies pay about $500 per month for a 1.5 Gb T1 connection. Check out the details on Speakeasy's WiMax page.

iTunes 4.8 Released - Now With Embedded Movie Support
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Software
Apple has released the latest version of the iTunes jukebox software today, version 4.8. They don't seem to be making a big deal about this one, which is a rarity for Apple. In fact, this is how Apple describes the new software:
iTunes 4.8 includes new Music Store features and support for transferring contacts and calendars from your computer to your iPod (requires Mac OS X version 10.4 on your computer).
The contacts and calendar syncing to the iPod is a nice feature. I personally feel that the iPod photo handles this the best, at least as far as the visual aspect goes. While it's great, Apple does not mention the fact that iTunes can now catalog and play videos stored locally on your PC instead of just those housed on the iTunes Music Store. Of course, speculation is now running rampant that this could mean that Apple will begin selling movies through the iTunes interface, turning it into a full media store. Even more, since iTunes is so tightly integrated with the iPod, could this mean that an iPod that supports video playback is near?

Box.net Review
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Features, Internet, Product Reviews
A while back we gave away three box.net storage accounts to our readers. Heck, we even used box.net to host our NYC PSP launch photo album. The reason we gave three away two months ago was because we thought this seemed like a pretty neat service, so we took it for a more in depth look ourselves to tell you more about it. We provide a look at box.net after the jump.

iPod Vending Machine

Airports sure know how to cater to their visitors, don't they? It seems that in Atlanta, you have the opportunity to be overcharged for more than just the food. Check out the Zoom Shop vending machine. Instead of your favorite candy treat, you will find batteries, phone cards, and - get this - iPods housed inside the glass case. It seems that iPod mini's and shuffles are the flavor of the day. Let's get to work on developing a music-type vending machine with a dockable interface.

Noreve $1,800 Leather iPod Love Case
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories
Okay, I realized that purchasing an iPod really is an investment for most. Having it get destroyed because you were careless enough to drop it by accident is not a nice feeling after dropping a few hundred bucks on the MP3 player. Seriously though, why would you pay up to six times the cost of an iPod for a case? Noreve is trying to convince iPod owners to do. Their iPod Love case is an extremely limited edition, as only 20 will be manufactured. It is a leather case with a velvet interior, adorned with a white gold heart which is encrusted with 44 WSI quality diamonds. It is manufactured upon order (hence, the 25 day wait), making you feel that much more special, and signed and numbered by S. Schaming - Saint-Tropez Schaming Jewlery - Place de Lices - Saint-Tropez. If you really want one, they are available in black, white, gray, pink, beige, baby blue, ocean blue, or red. Oh, and they are kind enough to remind you that although the price is extravagant, the iPod is not included. I expect Paris Hilton to buy all 20, while I stick with the cheaper cases.

Sophomore Covie Stanwick tallied four goals and an assist to lead No. 20 Boston College past Virginia Tech, 15-7, in its ACC opener at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, Va., on Saturday afternoon.
The Eagles (3-3, 1-0 ACC) scored eight unanswered goals from the 20:27 mark in the first half to the 27:08 mark in the second period to distance themselves from the Hokies (3-4, 0-2 ACC).
Sophomore Mikaela Rix and junior Carly Weilminster each scored three goals, and freshman Caroline Margolis netted two goals. Weilminster and Margolis each scored for the first time in their careers.
Junior Moira Barry tallied a goal and two assists, and freshman Kate Rich posted two assists.
Freshman Sarah Mannelly put the Eagles on the board first just under four minutes into the game before Virginia Tech answered 30 seconds later. BC then scored the half's next six goals to begin its decisive 8-0 run.
Stanwick opened the streak with a goal off a free position shot before Rix scored on an unassisted goal, and Barry found the back of the net off an eight-meter shot of her own putting BC up 3-1 with 13:49 left in the first.
Rix scored her second goal of the game, charging right into the arc before Weilminster scored for the first time in her career and Stanwick converted again to give BC a 7-1 halftime edge.
Stanwick and Weilminster added tallies early in the second half before the Hokies stopped the run with a goal just over four minutes into the second stanza. The Eagles then went on a 3-0 run to claim a 12-2 edge with 19:33 left. Rix and Weilminster scored the run's first two goals before Margolis converted for her first career goal.
The Hokies scored three straight to pull within 12-5, but the Eagles added three more goals in the last 7:04 for the final score.
Boston College returns to play in its ACC home opener against Maryland on March 16 at 1 p.m.
Game Notes:
BC improved to 9-4 all-time against Virginia Tech ... the Eagles have now scored first in five of six games this season ... Covie Stanwick became the third Eagle this season to surpass the 50-goal mark in her career ... Mikaela Rix did so against Ohio State (2/27) and Moira Barry did so at Northwestern (3/6) ... Stanwick has tallied at least two goals and three points in each game this year ... Rix has scored at least twice in every game in 2013.

Is it wise to have a malware or anti-virus program installed on Android tablets?
Withe the growing popularity of tablets, they are also becoming an increasingly popular target for malicious attacks. And with the open nature of the Google Play store, people have been known to sneak in some malicious apps.
To find security software for your tablet, head over to the Google Play Store and search security.
You will find hundreds of apps, many of them from recognizable security names like McAfee, Norton and Avast. Some of the apps are free and some will cost you a few dollars. to learn more about an app, tap on it.
You'll be able to see information about the app and usually screenshots. If you choose Norton Security antivirus, you can also view a video.
Customer reviews are a valuable resource when deciding if you want to try a new app.
I will caution you that just because an app is free to download, it doesn't mean the security protection service remains free. One app that is both free and well-reviewed is AVAST Mobile Security and Antivirus.
Click on Mobile Security & Antivirus by AVAST software then click install. Once installed open avast! mobile.
The main screen of the app is the Virus Scanner and will allow you to scan your apps and storage for virus & malware threats. The scan will automatically perform as you download new apps, but you can initiate a manual scan by tapping Scan now. You'll be alerted to any threat and be given the option to uninstall the app or delete the file.
The Privacy Advisor tab on the left gives you a detailed list of the types of privacy-related permissions granted apps on your phone. This is a fantastic tool, because while it may be perfectly legitimate for a contact manager app to have access to your contacts, you may not want a game app to have access to them. By tapping on any of the categories you can see a list of which apps have access to that information. Then you can decide if you should keep running the app or uninstall it.
The Shield Control tab allows you to change the settings for the various protection systems (called shields in avast!) For example, when you tap on Web Shield, you can turn the shield on or off, disable automatic site correct for common misspellings and check for malicious sites and phishing scams. It is a good idea to look through all of the shields to understand what avast! is doing to protect your device.
By tapping on SMS and Call Filter, then Create a new group, you can create rules which allow you to block incoming or outgoing calls and messages. You can also create rules which specify times the device cannot be used to call or text. This is great for Android phones for younger people, who should not be texting late at night or during school hours.
By tapping on Network Meter you can view the bandwidth usage of applications. This is a very useful feature for people on capped Internet services. You'll see what applications are using data. If your device is equipped with a built-in cellular modem you can sort the data use between the 3g, WiFi and Roaming data to avoid costly overage charges.
The Settings tab allows you to alter the main settings for avast! These include automatic updates, and your avast! account should you have one. You can also enable a PIN code to access the security settings, so no unauthorized person changes your security settings. You can also add a phone number to recover your pin code should you forget it.
Some of the other features, including the Firewall and Anti-Theft, are only available on rooted devices or with an additional service. Running a security program will take up some processor power and memory. But in the long-run it's worth it.

Sipping From The Well Of Wisdom
"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. The act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome to Rx For The Soul !
You've found your way here, so you must be searching, as all humans eventually do, to find the path that leads back home; home to yourself, home to knowing and loving who you are, home to discovering and fulfilling your destiny.
This site is intended to be a "wisdom well"; a place to sit and drink of wisdom that hopefully, leads you to your own truths. Rx For The Soul will be evolving over time, just as the soul's process unfolds over a lifetime. The soul process calls forth our patience. It has its own agenda, its own timetable, which often doesn't coincide with what we think our life is about at the level of the personality.
Here, you'll find offerings from the well; my personal blog and newsletter, tele-seminars, group and individual coaching services.
You'll be introduced to other pilgrims on the path who join us here at the well to offer their wisdom.What you'll find here is my own and others' unique perspectives on the subjects at hand:
How do you address and care for the deepest longings of the Soul?
How can you learn to decipher the Soul's language and respond?
What is your Soul's calling and how can you live your life in alignment with it?
How can you use challenges and difficulties to help you grow?
How can you best prepare yourself for living in these times of monumental change?
What is the source of your deepest joy, passion, and sense of freedom?
What practices will best support you going forward?
My blog will be updated frequently so stop by regularly and let's share what we discover in the well together. Please be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed, either by email or in a feedburner so you won't miss any updates.
I want to hear from you, so consider this a place for you to express yourself and share your own wisdom. Become a subscriber so you won't miss any updates and announcements of new offerings.
Come in then, from this hurried world, and sit awhile with me.We'll sip slowly together and discover the textures of wisdom, all the way down to the core. We're just beginning this journey together.
It's my honor to meet you here.I've been waiting for you.
With love and blessings,
Dr. Judith Rich

I'm driving my wagon on a semi-regular basis (new job is a 100 mile round trip). I forgot the average miles per tank I was getting when it was my primary car.
I might get 250 miles out of this tank with some city driving and highway driving. The car is averaging ~24-28 MPG.It's a stock 1.8 with 170,805 miles.
I feel my mileage could be better. It is easy to start when cold, but is difficult to keep a smooth idle shortly after starting. But, I digress. This is another matter I need to investigate at another time.
What do you average per tank with mixed driving?


text: I know this is going to be a slow going thread but I have made my first purchase toward my SE Fett so I figured I would start my progress thread. I just bought my MOW boots last night and look forward to receiving them. This is going to take me quite a while to get this project done but hopefully will be able to have this done by halloween next year. If I get some funding help from some friends and family, I may be able to get this done sooner but I want to have a quality costume that is very accurate so I am willing to sacrifice time for quality. Hope to keep you all entertained with this as I make progress. Thank you for all the help and I still have a long ways to go. I will have this done by CVI at the latest but really want to get this done as soon as I can.

Madonna has decided Instagram means let me show off my body. So, pretty much everyday for her.
Justin Timberlake has also joined Instagram. Blinds other people who try and appear with him.
Meanwhile, Jessica Biel was hanging out with this guy at the Four Seasons. Probably hoping for a Bieber sighting.
Oz premiere was last night. Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz flanked a demure Michelle Williams.
OK, so not that demure.
James Franco was there. Brought his deepthroating skills.

A few years back I was addicted to a fishing game on my old xbox(yeah the first one), and somedays I spent hours going around fishing, it was amazing.
This game looks nice, downloading it currently.
Not bad. My 3rd ever attempt at fishing in this game gave me a WTF carp, bitc.h took like 6 minutes to catch. Although my inner weirdo won't let me go to the next fishing place until I get 100% at the starting location.
Very addicting. Loving the game.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes this year's tour of Asia could be even more enjoyable than last summer's trip.
The Frenchman and his players were given a rapturous reception in Malaysia and China in July 2011 and they will fly back to the Far East this weekend for three more matches plus a number of special events.
The Arsenal fans will be a big part of the experience and Wenger suspects that even more supporters could greet the team this time.
"I expect an even better [reception] because maybe we have more people interested in our club now," he told Arsenal Player.
"Maybe we gained some supporters last season and maybe they will show that to the team this season. Overall we expect the same quality in the welcome, we have no doubt about that, but hopefully we have even more fans than we had last year."

text: The students worked together with their mentors from Black & Veatch to find the difference between salt water and fresh water as drops were placed on a penny. Challenged to discover how many drops of water would fit, the students got a lesson focused on cohesion and surface tension. Cohesion is the attraction of like molecules to one another. In this case, the like molecules were the H20 molecules in the water drops. Surface tension is a special term the mentors used to describe the cohesion between water molecules. Testing both salt and fresh water, the students raced to see which group could get the most drops of water on a penny without the water overflowing.

Kevin Borseth is entering his fifth season in his second stint at the helm of the Green Bay women's basketball program in 2016-17.
Borseth led the 2015-16 Green Bay women's basketball to a 28-5 finish on the season with a 16-2 record in Horizon League play. The Phoenix squad secured its 18th consecutive Horizon League regular season title, its 14th Horizon League Tournament Championship and the program's 16th NCAA Tournament appearance.
In 2014-15, Borseth aided the Phoenix to an overall record of 28-5 and garnered the 17th-straight Horizon League regular season title after going 15-1 in the conference portion of the season. Borseth and the Phoenix also went on the win the Horizon League Tournament, clinching the program's 13th tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
In the 2013-14 campaign, Borseth led the Phoenix to its 16th-consecutive Horzion League regular season title after going 13-3 in conference action. The team advanced to the WNIT and finished the season with an overall record of 22-10 for its 15th-consecutive 20+ win season and 10th under his command in addition to its 37th-straight winning season.
In 2012-13, the team compiled an overall record of 29-3 and a perfect 16-0 in the Horizon League, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time under his guidance.
Borseth's overall record at Green Bay stands at 323-85 (.790) entering the 2016-17 season and 185-19 (.907) in the Horizon League. In 18 seasons as a D-I head coach with stops at Green Bay and the University of Michigan, Borseth is 410-158 (.722).
Green Bay Athletics Director Ken Bothof announced the hiring of Kevin Borseth as the head women's basketball coach on April 5, 2012. Borseth, who compiled a 216-62 record in nine seasons previously serving in the same capacity at Green Bay, returned to the Phoenix after spending the past five seasons as the head coach at the University of Michigan.
Under Borseth's watch from 1998-2007, Green Bay advanced to the postseason in all nine seasons, including seven trips to the NCAA Tournament. The Phoenix also won the regular season conference championship in each of his nine seasons at the helm, beginning a stretch that currently stands at 14.
Borseth compiled an overall record of 87-73 record during his five seasons as the head coach at the University of Michigan, taking over a program that had won just 21 games in the prior three seasons combined and led the Wolverines to 19 wins and a postseason berth in his first season in 2007-08.
In five seasons at the helm at Michigan, Borseth led the Wolverines to three postseasons, including this past season's trip to the NCAA Tournament, the program's first since 2000-01.
All told, the 29-year head coaching veteran has an impressive record of 635-255 in his stints at Michigan Tech (1987-1998), Green Bay (1998-2007, 2012-pres.) and Michigan (2007-2012).
During his time at Green Bay, Borseth was named the conference coach of the year seven times and led the program to its first two NCAA Tournament victories with wins over Washington in 2003 and New Mexico in 2007.
Borseth coached a number of the most legendary players in the program's storied history, including the top two all-time leading scorers, Chari Nordgaard and Nicole Soulis. He also recruited recent standouts Celeste Hoewisch, Kayla Tetschlag and Julie Wojta to Green Bay and coached Hoewisch during her redshirt campaign in 2006-07.
Borseth graduated from Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. As a member of the Laker basketball roster, Borseth helped his team to a 27-3 record over two years as well as a 1976 NAIA championship berth. Prior to his time at LSSU, Borseth attended Gogebic Community College and played for the Samson basketball team.
Borseth and his wife Connie have five children; KC, Kayla, Carli, Kaitlyn and Kale.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by buddahfan, Jun 21, 2007.
PISTONS: 2007 NBA Summer League Presented By Adidas
Thanks Buddha. I meant to get that posted. The Low has graciously agreed to once again help cover the SL for us from Vegas at BadBoySummerCamp. The site will be getting a facelift shortly, and I am looking for one or two folks who would be willing to post news from the papers and online to the blog until the summer league is over. You can PM me if you are interested. I can definitely use the assistance, and it's easy and simple with the opportunity to explore your inner sports writer if you want to take it up a notch. Also, if you will be in Vegas for the Summer League, I'm pretty sure The Low would be happy to meet up with you at a game, and again, any observations/video/photos you have to share would be appreciated. I planned to go this year to carry The Low's gear and act as a bodyguard (not that he needs one) but those plans have come undone and I won't be able to attend. Feel free to post if you will be attending and I will do my best to help coordinate the PF community at AMIRSAMBFEST 2007. :D
I don't recall if this is the first year that the Chinese National team will participate.
If Low or anyone else is going to the games maybe they can ask Amir how tall he really is.
Let it go, he's obviously taller than he was 2 years ago when drafted and is at least 6'10" now. I'll be absolutely shocked if he isn't 6'9.5" or taller in bare feet. Most of these heights are complete BS anyways. How many guys listed at 7' are shorter than Sheed? Tons of them. Paul Davis is 6'8.5" and was listed as tall as 6'11"... [FONT=Times New Roman,Georgia,Times][/FONT] Free NBA Basketball Picks Against the Spread Winner
that guy was so wrong. david lee, ryan gomes, frye, man...horrible projections.
All I care is how tall he plays. Hopefully we will find that out real soon.
that's some funny stuff. [FONT=Times New Roman,Georgia,Times]58. Uros Slokar-Toronto Raptors: Now they're just making names up at the end of the draft to see if anyone is still paying attention. However I do agree that it was a pretty weak draft. The picks actually seemed to get better the further it went on. [/FONT]
I would trade Will Blalock for Uros Slokar in a heartbeat. He had a very good late season game against us off the bench. Now there is a guy fans can get excited about possibly having some potential.

Who is Eddy Fobbs A link with a pic. Eddy Fobbs
Who is Ali Traore? More Traore
We already have plenty of that.
PISTONS: Summer Stock
I Eddy may be the key to our summer league success...
he has to be. he's our only C. The fobb story is that he tore up his knee. would he have been something otherwise? Who knows. I am liking the fact that maxiell asked to join summer league. not only will his appearances make for exciting hoops but you gotta love that attitude.
This guy (Fobbs) reminds me of a little known player from a small school (my undergrad school) in Kentucky called Murray State. That player was Popeye Jones, and while he never achieved star status, he had a pretty good career in the NBA. Small schools do occasionally produce some excellent talent...Joe D being one of the best examples.
Some Summer League Information PISTONS: Summer Stock - additional players in the summer league: Ali Traore and Walker Russell Jr. - curry will be part of the coaching staff - johnson cannot sign as a free agent until the 11th, so he is expected to miss the 1st two games - maxiell was not expected to participate, but asked the pistons if he could, so he will be on the team - samb has been in town for a week and working out with the team
Re: Some Summer League Information woops didn't see that someone posted about it already. i guess uh...enjoy the summary? lol
Any info on how much meat is on Samb's bones?
Separate names with a comma.

Funny Running Into You Here
I'm coming up for air and a quick blog post. For the last couple weeks I've been codestorming, lost in a flurry of flow-control statements, if-then and for loops, switch blocks, dropped semicolons and variant datatypes (cursed be he who invented the variant datatype for to such belongs the world of sloppy programming). After 18 months waiting for the bureacracy to give me a regional information system I can use I finally gave up and built one myself. It took two weeks. Meanwhile no one in my department has ever been able to use the system we're supposed to be using. It's enough to make a taxpayer cry. Anyway, my personal system is pretty much done except for minor cosmetic tweaking.
But that's not what I was going to blog about.
Today I wanted to talk about what happens when you run into your patients outside of professional hours. In my case, it can be interesting.
I went to the post office to mail off my taxes and I noticed someone standing toward the front of the line who looked awfully familiar. Thanks to my recent accident I've been meeting a lot of car salesmen lately, so I was thinking it was maybe some business person or a public defender type. Then it hit me---a former inmate. He either didn't recognize me or was reluctant to acknowledge me, which was understandable. In a public place you just don't strike up conversations about your former incarceration, much less about your mental health care even if you haven't been locked up.
Generally meetings with former inmates are fine if I run into them on the street. Usually they recognize me first since I get thrown once you take someone out of a prison uniform and put them in street clothes. I usually hear about how things are going "on the outside", whether or not they've been able to get mental health care, how long they've stayed clean and how much time they have left on parole. They seem happy to see me and I like hearing about how they're doing. Even when they're not doing so well they seem happy to see me. The most awkward meeting was coming across a former patient a the time of arrest, handcuffed and prone on the street in front of my parked car. "Hey doc! I'm going to need your help!" he said. I reassured him I'd be there when he got to the institution and reminded him how to get in touch. He said he would.
Overall I'm grateful I only work in men's facilities. It kind of spares me from thinking about running into former patients in the locker room at the gym.

So the Webley that was for sale, i ended up not being able to get as my wife's website client dragged her feet to pay her, and she was going to spot the cash
The main reason i wanted it was to take molds to be able to make my own kits and built EE-3s.
I can fabricate the barrel clamps, and have a vintage scope, scope rings and molex connectors to take molds from....i just need the actual Webley lol
I figured id ask, as id hope anyone here would know i wouldnt run away with your webley.
As a thanks for doing this i can offer a kit, though if you have the real deal, not sure if you would want/need that lol I can also offer an E-11 pipe build kit, or built PVC pipe E-11. Im currently in the process of making molds off of a real Sterling. I can also offer painting services. I also have greeblies n such i can throw in as well.
Let me know if anyone of you Webley owners are willing to do this..thanks Hunters!

A maintenance worker is suing the Utah Transit Authority in federal court, claiming her supervisor required her to perform sexual favors in exchange for better working conditions and that management ignored her complaints of harassment, saying "boys will be boys."
In a lawsuit filed Monday, Traci Endow claimed that her supervisor, Brett DeMille, had been making sexual gestures, contact and comment toward her since they were coworkers in 2009. Endow rebuffed his advances until 2011, when DeMille was promoted to become her supervisor, the lawsuit states. DeMille allegedly told Endow her work assignments and chances for promotion would improve if she would have sex with him.
"Once [Endow] began having sexual relations with ... DeMille, [Endow's] work assignments did improve," the lawsuit states. Endow was reassigned from trash clean-up, pulling and trimming weeds, and TRAX station cleaning "jobs she and her coworkers severely disliked" to operating heavy machinery, according to the lawsuit.
UTA spokeswoman Erika Shubin declined to comment on Monday night. The lawsuit says Endow will "likely require more than $500,000 to be fully compensated" by UTA.
DeMille sought training opportunities for Endow, which previously she had been denied, according to the lawsuit. Endow claimed that in 2011, before DeMille was her supervisor, a manager scheduled mandatory one-on-one equipment training for all of the male employees on the crew but then took the trainer to lunch before Endow, the only woman, could be trained, the suit alleges. The manager, Richard Castleberry, allegedly told Endow, "Life's not fair." Endow did not receive the training until DeMille arranged it, after Endow began performing sexual favors for him, the suit claims.
Endow describes 27 occasions where DeMille engaged in sexual activities with her while at work; in some cases, she alleges, he required sex before he would let her return to work. Endow claimed these sex acts occurred from November 2011 until July 2012 at UTA maintenance shops in Salt Lake and Davis counties, the UTA facilities offices, in the cab of a sweeper truck and in a signal shack near the University of Utah.
"Because of the threat of losing her training and assignment benefits, [Endow] never formally expressed a lack of consent. ... At most, she expressed a reluctant acquiescence," the suit states. However, the lawsuit claims that Endow routinely told DeMille "she was engaging in the sexual activities solely and exclusively because of the benefits she was receiving."
Endow further claims that DeMille implied that she would lose those benefits if she stopped having sex with him.
Endow said she complained repeatedly to DeMille's supervisors, Frank Cosens and Castleberry; no action was taken, the suit claims. Instead, Cosens allegedly told her, "You should have told him yours is bigger. It may require batteries, but it's bigger." Castleberry allegedly advised her to "stop wearing white T-shirts." When Endow pressed the matter, Castleberry covered his ears and said, "I don't want to hear this," the lawsuit states.
When UTA issued new uniforms in May 2012, DeMille told the man who measures the uniforms that Endow would have sex with him and gave her phone number to him, the lawsuit claims. The man allegedly measured only Endow's bust; although Endow is 5 feet 2 inches tall, she received a uniform made for a man more than 300 pounds, according to the lawsuit. When Endow complained, the man allegedly asked whether she "tastes like Mountain Dew." Endow claims she complained to DeMille and Cosens, who did not follow up but began referring to him as Endow's "boyfriend," and told other employees to "go see [Endow's] boyfriend" whenever they needed uniforms or equipment.
Endow said her treatment at work contributed to severe depression and alcoholism. In July 2012, she told her husband, who confronted Cosens, the lawsuit claims. Endow was given two weeks paid leave, during which she filed a formal complaint with human resources officers. UTA performed a "cursory" investigation, which was closed with a finding of no cause, the lawsuit states. Endow claims that Toby Diaz, human resources director, told her that "boys will be boys," and the alleged behavior was to be expected on an overwhelmingly male crew.
Endow returned to work, where she has returned to "exclusively" weeding and station clean-up the jobs she was relieved from during her relationship with DeMille. She "has been denied all requests for training and is not allowed to operate any of the machinery for which she received training," the lawsuit states. Because she cannot receive further certification and licenser, she cannot be promoted, the suit claims.
Endow is suing UTA and her supervisors, claiming quid pro quo sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, retaliation, violation of state law; negligence, sexual battery; and negligent hiring, supervision and employment.
Endow did not report the case to law enforcement, said her attorney W. Earl Webster.
"She didn't feel like she wanted to go that route," Webster said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Good news! After getting tdc on #1 timing marks lined up, but rotor was past #1 tower. I reset it to line up, reassembled, started the car, and NO PING! A bit sluggish off the start, but set at 12btc, whereas before I had to turned it back to 5* just to minimize the pinging. Don't know how that happened, unless I installed it off the first time. Thanks for the help!
|Another find: rebuilder installed 1.94 intake/1.50 exhaust valves (new). L-82 version of the 350 (which is what I have) had 2.02 intake/1.60 exhaust valves. Could this be the cause of the detonation/pinging problem?
Car had r45ts, so plugs are virtually the same. New info: I checked the spec sheet from my engine rebuild: they replaced my stock cam with a "mild" cam with the following specs: 214-224 443-465. Is this appropriate for my set up? (1980 Corvette L-82 SB350. Q-Jet, auto tranny, stock heads,new valves 1.94 intake, 1.50 exhaust, 3.07 rear.)
Again, I'm having trouble with detonation and have to turn the timing way back (from 12* to around 6*) to minimize it. Could the problem be this cam set-up? Thanks! JG700
|What heads are on the motor? I believe the R44TS? is a longer reach plug (for the later design heads) than an R44T and if you're using the wrong length plug the exposed threads could be glowing hot and causing the spark knock-possible. Check it out.
|OK, so here is the update: I rejetted my carb from 74 to 77; replaced the distributor springs with thicker ones; set initial timing to 10*(from 12*); replaced spark plugs with colder ones (r44ts). Engine STILL knocks/pings under load. Could I have installed the distributor wrong? As in, off by a tooth? It idles great, and runs smooth under easy acceleration. Could it be the EGR valve? Confounded and frustrated now! Thanks. JG700
|Put in R43 plugs, 42's will also work just fine but they'll take awhile to warm up when first starting the engine cold. I've got a 350 running pretty lean with poor (.065) quench distance and it likes the 42's.
- The car is a what?
- How heavy?
- What is the transmission (besides being and automatic)?
- What is the rear axle ratio?
- What is the tire size?
- Do you have the cam specs?
- Do you know if the cam gears and chain were timed correctly?
- Is the cam installed with and advance bushing?
- Do you know how much total advance the distributor has, base plus variable which is the centrifugal and or vacuum)?
- Do you know how fast the variable comes in as well as how much?
- Do you know if the original valves were reground or replaced (I'm assuming this is a rebuilt 350 replacing a 350)?
- do you really know the static compression ratio (swept volume and combustion space volume/combustion space volume)?
- Is the carb the same as original to the engine?
- You've changed jet sizes, what about metering rods?
- Which spring is controlling the metering piston that moves the metering rods?
- Did you change the intake?
- Does the intake have a vacuum leak?
- What is the idle Vacuum?
- What is the vacuum under acceleration?
This breaks down into:
- Not enough gears for the weight of vehicle.
- Cam not timed correctly.
- Static compression too high, cylinder pressure measurements aren't a good indicator of this.
- The engine running lean:
- Vacuum leak
- Carb jets too small; metering rods too big; metering piston stuck, metering piston's spring not in synch with engine's vacuum.
- Secondary not coming in properly, there's cams for this and tuning packages for the air valve.
- Fuel pump not delivering enough pressure.
- Float not adjusted correctly.
- The plastic anti-slosh gadget above the needle valve left out.
- Plugged filter, pinched line.
- Too much or improper advance rate:
- Cam and crank not aligned properly.
- Cam too advanced with bushings or off set crank Woodruff key in gear.
- Ignition advance problems:
- The vacuum doesn't drop off fast enough as the centrifugal
comes up.
- The Damper and Timing marks on the timing case cover are
mismatched. Different years and models move these around so
just grabbing parts from here and there can get you into problems.
- The distributor just not installed correctly, or not wired correctly.
- Problems in the combustion chamber.
- Reground valves have had the margin ground too far making them run
hot on the remaining sharp edge.
- Spark Plug heat range too hot.
- Incorrect head gasket or position of gasket:
- Causing improper coolant flow.
- Combustion ring hanging in a chamber and heated to glowing.
- Too thin combining with decked block/milled heads to make
compression too high.
- SMOG open chamber head that when combined with dish piston
can't provide adequate squish or quench.
As you can see, you're just barely touching the possibilities. I can go further myself but need to get on with other things this afternoon, but this ought to be enough for you to cogitate on for a while.
Having to push the timing back speaks pretty loudly to distributor or cam setup issues. If the cam is too advanced you have to compensate by backing the timing down. You need to really know where the cam is relative to the crank. And I don't mean looking a factory alignment dots. You've got to get a degree wheel and TDC finder to know for sure. This isn't a 100% thing maybe not even a 50% thing, but in my so called mind, it's a strong indicator as a place to start looking.
|It is NOT ok to have a bit of pinging.
|Switched to a colder plug (r45ts - r44ts). Checked balancer - at 0* tdc#1. With colder plugs, very little pinging (only on really hard acceleration/load.) Yes, timing checked with vacuum plugged, but thanks for reminding me! Should I go colder? Move the timing back a bit more? Or is it ok to have a bit of pinging? Thanks for all of the advice!
Ok no more pinging. Is your total timing now within specs? Then everything should be ok
Just my .02.... I agree with Mr. Tech and my gut instinct is that your balancer is off a little. When you can retard back to 0 DEG and your pre-ignition goes away........my first place to look, if it were my engine, is establishing true TDC.
You could try the afore-mentioned stuff but I would want to be sure my timing marks are dead on. Check the weights on the advance and make sure they spring back freely.
I hate to even ask this but you do have the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged when checking the timing right??
JG, both DHMag and baddbob suggested changing to a colder plug. Toddle on down to Autozone and get the colder plugs and gap them properly. If using a traditional distributor with separate coil, gap at 0.035". If HEI, gap at 0.045". Pick up one of those little plug gap thingies they keep by the cash register. Looks like a large coin and has a hole to affix to your key chain. Do that and see what happens. Report back with your findings.
Yes, it is possible to retard the ignition.
The problem is that unless you've verified TDC on the outer ring of the harmonic damper where it lines up with the pointer on the front cover, then you are flying blind. Oftentimes, the ring slips on the elastomeric material that is placed between the damper outer ring and the inner hub. If that has happened and you haven't verified the true TDC, then any further attempts to time the motor with a light will prove futile.
|OK. Retarded timing until the pinging virtually stopped under load. I'm now set at 0*. Initial timing was 12 btc. Is this a problem? Is there such a thing as too retarded (and I don't mean ME!) Or should I use colder plugs and increase the timing? Currently using AC Delco R45ts. Thanks!
|Use some AC spark plugs in the 43 or 42 heat range, I bet that'll help the problem. You also might be able to switch to steel shim head gaskets if the piston to deck height is .020ish
|If that's the case, what's next? Any solutions other than removing the engine and sending it back to the machine shop?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Criminal Justice Lunchtime Talk -- On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City
Forty years in, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing to
prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has nonetheless
created a little-known surveillance state in America's most
disadvantaged neighborhoods. Arrest quotas and high-tech
surveillance techniques criminalize entire blocks, and transform
the very associations that should stabilize young lives--family,
relationships, jobs--into liabilities, as the police use such
relationships to track down suspects, demand information, and
threaten consequences. Alice Goffman spent six years living in one such neighborhood
in Philadelphia, and her close observations and often harrowing
stories reveal the pernicious effects of this pervasive policing.
In her new book, On the Run, Goffman introduces us to an
unforgettable cast of young African American men who are caught up
in this web of warrants and surveillance--some of them small-time
drug dealers, others just ordinary guys dealing with limited
choices. All find the web of presumed criminality, built as it is
on the very associations and friendships that make up a life,
nearly impossible to escape. We watch as the pleasures of
summer-evening stoop-sitting are shattered by the arrival of a
carful of cops looking to serve a warrant; we watch--and can't help
but be shocked--as teenagers teach their younger siblings and
cousins how to run from the police (and, crucially, to keep away
from friends and family so they can stay hidden); and we see, over
and over, the relentless toll that the presumption of criminality
takes on families--and futures. While not denying the problems of the drug trade, and the
violence that often accompanies it, through her gripping accounts
of daily life in the forgotten neighborhoods of America's cities,
Goffman makes it impossible for us to ignore the very real human
costs of our failed response—the blighting of entire neighborhoods,
and the needless sacrifice of whole generations. Read an excerpt from the book here:

What intrigues me is the big uproar over this case, this happens everyday of every week.BTWPolls indicate that a vast majority of people agree on 2 thingsOne: She should be alowwed to dieTwo: The goverment has no place in such decisions.
Time to make a living will, specify what your choices are.
NO COURT HAS SEEN EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING BY THE HUSBANDIf I am wrong please correct me.
The judge then appointed a guardian ad litem, Richard Pearse, to investigate Michael's fitness as guardian and to make a recommendation about Terri's feeding tube. Pearse interviewed the various parties, including doctors, and issued his report in December 1998 recommending against Michael's fitness as guardian and against removing Terri's feeding tube.After February 1993, Mr. Schiavo's attitude concerning treatment for the ward apparently changed. [In January 1993 he received the $1.6 million award].... It is apparent to me that he has reached a point that he has no hope of the ward's recovery and wants to get on with his own life. [Michael] admitted to the guardian ad litem that he had at least two romantic involvements after Terri's collapse. [Schiavo was already living with his current girlfriend, with whom he has two children.]In February 1999, Felos filed a "suggestion of bias†against Pearse and demanded he be removed as guardian ad litem. The judge then hearing the case, Bruce Boyer, took no action on Felos's "suggestion of bias†or on Pearse's report. In April of that year, Pearse filed a request that he either be given further instructions or discharged. He reiterated his concerns about Michael's guardianship and also noted that there would be due process difficulties if the case proceeded to trial without Terri having an independent guardian ad litem. Judge Boyer discharged Pearse without appointing a successor.The case then proceeded to trial before Judge Greer, who also refused to appoint a new guardian ad litem to represent Terri's interests in the case.
But if they found that he had done something wrong don't you think that somewhere in the course of 30 (that's right THIRTY) trials there would have been some proof?
The parents financed by the right to life movement pretty much had unlimited resouces and NEVER proved a thing.
He is also ordering a autopsy which will say what function her brain was capable of.
The liberals are stonewalling our President because he is trying to get judges in who will legislate from the bench. You know, like the chief justice who advocated torture.
As far as her cats, I searched but couldn't find any reference to this could you point me to a refernce? THere has been a lot of unsubstanciated stuff going around on this. I don't know why of if he did this nor do I think it has any bearing on this. Did her parents offer to take the cats?
In the 1993 guardianship hearing, Michael testified regarding his disposition of some of Terri's property:Attorney: What did you do with your wife's jewelry?Michael: My wife's jewelry?Attorney: Yeah.Michael: Um, I think I took her engagement ring and her...what do they call it...diamond wedding band and made a ring for myself.Attorney: What did you do with her cats?Michael: Her cats were put to sleep on the advice of my mother-in-law.The veterinarian who euthanized Terri's pets came forward to say there was never any suggestion from Terri's mother that this be done, and that it was done only at Michael Schiavo's insistence.
Unfortunatly the drs who actually exaimed her with the exception of one paid by her parents all agree that there is nothing going on there. This will be proven because the husband is ordering a autopsy and then the world will know exactly how much brain function there was. Hmm, sounds like he had something to hide.
You forgot the part about thanking the French......

Firms must actively engage external vendors and third-party partners to deliver a unified customer experience (CX). Why? Because partners across the supply chain influence the quality of customer interactions. Sometimes these partners are the face of your company on the front lines in the form of agents, dealerships, value-added-resellers (VARS), distributors, and outsourced call center reps or technicians. Alternatively, they might act behind-the-scenes in the case of suppliers, outsourced credit or risk services, or billing and invoicing vendors. These 3rd parties are a critical component of what Forrester calls the customer experience ecosystem: the complex, interdependent set of relationships and interactions between customers, employees, and partners that determine the quality of every customer experience.
Failing to engage partners not only degrades customer experiences, it costs companies money. Here are a few examples:
