Pro Tip: If someone asks you to post your phone number in a publicly-viewable place online, don't listen. Even if they're famous — just don't. Remember, posting your personal information where anyone can see it means that anyone can see it, which greatly increases your chances of getting weird phone calls — or getting put on blast. Case in point: this prank involving Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul.
First a little history: Paul (aka Jesse Pinkman) posted a tweet around the time of the Aug. 25 episode of the AMC series, aired asking folks for their phone numbers so he could "let me talk you thru" a difficult moment on the show. Unsurprisingly, many fans posted their personal numbers as requested, and some of them got calls — not from Paul but from YouTuber ZeoStorm, who saw it as an opportunity for a lesson about the dangers of posting personal information online.
By simply ringing people up and pretending to be the actor — in a voice that, frankly, doesn't sound much like Paul's — ZeoStorm was able to (falsely) make a lot of people's days by calling them "bitch," Jesse Pinkman's favorite insult. "Oh my god, is this Aaron Paul?!" one exclaims. "Can you call my friend Craig a bitch?" asks another. One even seems to start crying. On and on it goes, for more than a dozen calls.
"In my video I tried giving out the message that people should think twice before posting up information that you wouldn't want a stranger to know," ZeoStorm said in an email to WIRED. "Aaron Paul had good intentions calling his fans, but the way he went about it maybe wasn't the best route to take. For everyone I called I kept it respectful and left it on a good note so that if they really believed I was Aaron, I'm sure they think even more of him now."
Of course, it's tempting to post your personal information for a chance to talk to your favorite celebrity. And Paul seems like a cool guy who, apparently, actually has called people who left their numbers for him on Twitter and reddit. (It seems possible prankers called those people too, though ZeoStorm claims he wasn't one of them.) One tweeter, responding to the idea that people were texting the numbers that were tweeting out, even noted that getting a call from Paul would be "worth a couple spam texts."
But as the video points out, posting your personal information online is always a risk. While the prank was mostly good-natured and didn't reveal any numbers or identities, the same information could easily have been used in far worse ways, including harassment.
"For the most part Twitter is a very public place, so that tweet you send to your idol asking them to call you or even any personal information beyond just a number, that can be seen by everyone with just a simple search," ZeoStorm said. "In the video I even offered the idea of direct messaging a few lucky fans next time to ensure privacy."
In conclusion, it's a bad idea to post your phone number on Twitter, even if you want Aaron Paul to call you and pretend to be Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad and cuss out your friends. Giving anyone on the internet the ability to call you is just asking for trouble, pranks or otherwise. And, if you absolutely have to take a shot at getting called by Paul, be smart about it — create a temporary Google Voice number.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Looking at Canada for a LFS to resell tools.
Hi all, maybe one of you can help me out.
I'm constantly asked to sell to canada and I hate saying that I don't. I am looking for a LFS in Canada that would be interested in carrying Rumford Aquatics products.
If you know any that would be interested, please send them my way.
My email is email@example.com
Any luck with this?
Not particularly, I've been sent a few leads.
The problem is as far as business stuff goes, becoming an international business gets tricky with taxes and regulations and all that fun stuff. So I'm still researching how to do things properly.
The only store around me that I know is really focused on the planted tank aspect is http://www.aquainspiration.com/ It is within an hour of a few million people though and is an awesome store.

Turner, Hannah
Birth Year : 1800
Hannah Turner was the slave of Aaron and Theodosia Young, who moved from Kentucky to Missouri. Hannah, a washer woman, was the wife of John Turner (b.1796), a free man who was a horse farrier, and she was the mother of James Milton Turner (1840-1915), who was born while his mother was still a slave. John Turner purchased the freedom of Hannah and James in 1843, and the couple was officially married in St. Louis, March 4, 1857 by Rev. Emmanual Cartwright, pastor of the African Baptist Church [Missouri Marriage Records 1805-2002]. Rev. Cartwright had become pastor of the church after the death of Kentucky native Rev. John Berry Meachum in 1854. John Turner was last listed in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, and Hannah Turner was last listed in the 1870 Census. Their son, James M. Turner, had been a student in Meachum's school, he would go on to attended Oberlin College. In 1871, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him the first African American Minister Resident and Consul General for the United States in the Republic of Liberia. He returned to the U.S. in 1878 and formed the Colored Emigration Aid Association with hopes of settling Exodusters in Kansas and the Indian Territory. He succeeded in getting Congress to pass the Cherokee Freedmen's Act in 1888, which authorized $75,000 to 3,881 Cherokee freedmen (former slaves of the Cherokee Indians). For more see the James Milton Turner entry in the American National Biography Online (subscription database).

"We'll see."
We'll see, as in, I'll show you.
But Leftwich will need more help from his wide receivers to pull off the unexpected Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
Without Antonio Brown, the Steelers' wide receivers combined to catch just 6 passes for 66 yards Monday night. It was the lowest output at that position since the Steelers' wide receivers combined to make 5 catches for 64 yards in the 2010 AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets.
Those Steelers had a 24-0 lead in the second quarter of that game and didn't need to throw. These Steelers fell behind 10-0 and were tied at halftime, 10-10, the other night.
The Steelers haven't had worse production in a game they were tied or in which they trailed at halftime since Nov. 5, 2000 when Plaxico Burress, Hines Ward and Bobby Shaw combined to catch 3 passes for 40 yards from Kordell Stewart in a loss at Tennessee.
That was 13 years ago.
It's clear the Steelers on Monday night missed Brown, their 2011 MVP. And they'll probably miss him again Sunday night against Baltimore. He's doubtful with a sprained ankle.
The Steelers will also be without Roethlisberger. While medical experts say it's foolish to estimate Roethlisberger's recovery period – because the injury is so rare that the healing process is an unknown – it's going to be an adjustment for the entire offense. So for the time being the passing game will live or die with Leftwich and those receivers who couldn't get open Monday night.
"That's wrong," countered Sanders. "We were getting open."
Sanders had also refuted another reporter the previous day who felt the Steelers' receivers couldn't beat press coverage. Sanders was backed by Steelers radio analyst Tunch Ilkin, who felt the receivers' problems had more to with the field conditions.
"It didn't look they could get into and out of their cuts," said Ilkin, who was at the South Side practice facility Thursday to watch game tape. "It looked like the wet field bothered them."
Sanders doesn't buy that theory, either.
"Write whatever story you want," he said in exasperation. "We're getting open, man – in a rainy game. A rainy game is a rainy game. The production is always going to be down in a rainy game, especially as bad as it was last week."
There were legitimate excuses for the wide receivers' puny production Monday, but as Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday at his press conference, "Excuses are tools of the incompetent."
Besides, the Ravens just put another cornerback, 2011 first-round pick Jimmy Smith, on injured reserve. He had replaced Lardarius Webb, who is also on injured reserve. And future Hall of Fame free safety Ed Reed is playing hurt.
The Ravens also have their problems, so 6 catches for 66 yards just won't cut it this week for the Steelers.
"You had so many factors involved Monday night," Sanders repeated. "You had rain, wind, you want to run the ball, sometimes the ball is slick, the ball is slipping out of the quarterback's hands. You've got so many different factors.
"This week, we'll see."
NOTES – The Steelers activated ILB Marshall McFadden from the practice squad and put OLB Chris Carter on season-ending injured reserve with an injured abdomen. TE Jamie McCoy was re-signed to the practice squad. … Missing Thursday's practice were Brown, Troy Polamalu, Marcus Gilbert and Roethlisberger.

I really can't see any point in speculating about the results of kamma, especially as the Buddha said that "The [precise working out of the] results of kamma" was "unconjecturable"
Because he is Samma-Sam-buddha, he knows everything what most beings don't know. Even generous people we can't really say he will live abundance life in the next as we don't know precisely. But when someone suffers, born handicapped for example that is for sure is not the result of the good deeds.
In my opinion, Kamma doesn't work like a cosmic punishment/rewards system.

Hows it going ya'll?
Just trying to figure this thing out. Someone told me once that turbos, if used hard will be the cause for some oil loss. But about a quart every week or two? No oil spots on the ground where I park every day/night either. I'm baffled. Can this mean the death of my car soon?

The Pakistan Inter Services Intelligence(ISI) has been charged with aiding Taliban forces in Afghanistan and playing a role in the bombing of the Indian consulate in Kabul. Never one to take responsibility for its actions, the ISI struck back by charging they had "strong evidence and circumstantial evidence of American acquiescence to terrorism inside Pakistan." The government of President Musharraf told Admiral Michael Mullen and CIA Deputy Director Sephen Kappes, they had been unduly influenced by false information supplied by Indian sources. The Pakistan charge the United States has refused to allocate Predator missiles to destroy terrorist bases in tribal areas of the northwest. The ISI claims the US knew where terrorist tribal leader Baitullah Mehsud was traveling but refused to order his death.
At the heart of this apparent fairy story of Americans being on the side of terrorists and supporting India's campaign to overthrow the Musharraf government is an inability on the part of the Pakistan government to assume responsibility for its actions in aiding the growth of the Taliban and working with Islamic terrorists to create tension inside India.

Structural questions
Let me introduce my house again here. It's a house in SE Michigan built in 1917, the foundation is that it was built on beams which rest on stacks of cement blocks, but let's look past that for now - my question has to do with the structure for the second floor.
The apparent original configuration of the house was a ballon framed 22' x 22' 1.5 story house with a 9/12 pitch gable roof and a stairway going up in the middle to 2 bedrooms, the bedrooms having 7' tall ceilings and 4' knee walls. The gable ends face the east and west, the upstairs bedrooms are east and west of the stairs.
Worth mentioning, the east end of the house was extended another 9 feet. This is apparent because from inside the crawlspace, the floor joists in this section are perpindicular to the main house. The main house is supported by a triple 2x6 beam running down the center, this beam does not extend into the addition.
Anyway, the west end of the first floor is all one big open room. In the first floor ceiling, a beam is apparent and appears to be 2x6 - 5 2x6's to be exact. This beam is spanning 12' The exact amount that this beam is sagging is difficult to precisely measure because the floor is not level, there is 3" of difference of the height from the floor to the beam when the center of the beam is compared with 1 end, and when compared with the other end there is 4" of difference. The end with 3" of difference, I measured 1' from the wall because the wall is at an angle. Measured at the wall, there is 4" of sag relative to the center of the beam.
On the other side of the stairway, there is a load bearing wall dividing the dining room from the bathroom, this wall is 6 feet from the exterior wall, there is no other mid-span support for floor joists over the 7 feet between the stair wall and the original exterior wall. But there doesn't appear to be any sag? And this is where the joists would be spanning 16', and from viewing the joists in the knee wall attic they are all 2x6 joists with no sistering apparent.
I'm concerned where the sagging is visible, but I am assuming that after 93 years that this is not an imminent failure. As for the other side of the stairs, I have to wonder if anyone can explain how this hasn't been an issue?
Oh yeah.. the really puzzling part about the addition is that the floor joists in the first floor are oriented east-west. The floor josits for the second floor are oriented north-south. I believe that the addition was platform framed, kind of. The first floor walls have top plates, but the second floor walls do not have top plates.
And understanding how the house is constructed is complicated by many walls with 2 layers of drywall over lath and plaster, or 3 layers of drywall, sometimes with a layer of studs in between.
That and the frequent apperance of walls with studs oriented sideways (as in 2" thick dimension oriented to the wall thickness instead of 4" dimension) This construction was done on the kitchen wall, which the kitchen is entirely within the addition - and this wall might be load bearing if it is made so by the ceiling joist being oriented north-south, or it might not be because the floor joists are oriented east-west - then again, it is right on top of a 2x6 floor joist. Oh and this construction was also apparent in the stair wall in the second floor, and the wall studs were buckled.
Seriously, don't be afraid to answer this, I'm not asking what to do, I'm just looking to see if anyone can explain these perplexing structural conditions.
And for anyone reading this and thinking to themselves "a 2x6 can span 16'?" I believe the answer is, no it can't. Wood species in use today mostly are not as strong as what was in use in 1917.
Why does a 16' span of 2x6 joists not sag while a 5 thick beam of 2x6's supporting 12' span 2x6 joists sags?
Is old wood really that much stronger? Span tables today say Douglas Fir shouldn't be more than 12'!
Where the beam is located, without it the span would be 22'. As far as load above the floor, though, they both are the same. No load bearing walls except the attic knee walls which are 4' inboard of the exterior wall on both sides.
I might have left out some info, but then again this is a kind of unpleasant adventure getting to know this house... The first 10 floor joists under the first floor are rotted away over the bottom half of he first 18" or so, and new 2x6 sistered onto them over the first 6 feet (i.e. not all the way to the beam at the center.
I think after thinking about it, I'm concerned there is some trauma the house went through in the east half, and the ceiling beam is a sign of underlying structural problems. Then again I guess I got into this operating on the assumption that the house IS a structural problem, but with the accompanying assumption that it has lasted 93 years and that doom isn't impending, but there exists a solution to any deficiencies.
2 Attachment(s)
Yeah, I had been planning on replacing those floor joists with new Douglas Fir, I'd rather go up in size but unless I'm replacing all of the floor joists (which itself increases the scope tremendously for the repair) it complicates interfacing with the support under the floor joists.
By way of the kneewall attic, I'm able to stick a camera into the joist cavity and see a little more than I can see on my own. I did that this morning, I'm attaching an image and a zoomed in image.
One more thing worth noting, this room to the west with the sagging ceiling, the ceiling is drywall. To the east, drywall is installed over lath and plaster. So it seems the lath and plaster was removed at some point in the west.

Designer Vivienne Westwood shuns expansion, big wardrobes
By Isla Binnie
MILAN (Reuters) - British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood said on Monday that she has no plans to further expand in China and defended the high prices of her designs as a way to encourage customers to buy fewer clothes.
Westwood, who started selling clothes in London in the swinging 60s and now has shops in 15 other countries, said she is assessing her company, its operations and its aims.
"I want to backtrack and control it," Westwood said before showing her men's spring/summer 2014 collection in Milan. "I don't want to expand in China anymore at the moment."
Westwood, an environmental activist, said she has turned her attention to her supply chain, starting with the material used to make the protest T-shirts that have become a feature of her shows.
"We do a lot of T-shirts and at least I've managed to get the jersey that we use for the T-shirts, which comes from Peru mostly. It's organic and it's not harmful," she said.
For the Milan show, staff and some models wore T-shirts supporting U.S. Army private Bradley Manning, who is accused of releasing hundreds of thousands of classified files, videos and other data to the WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website.
A romantic idea of India, which was chosen by her husband and creative director, Andreas Kronthaler, is the theme of the show, which featured Harem-style trousers, kaftans and chunky necklaces along with military berets.
Westwood, dressed in a grey sequined dress she had worn before, said she hoped other fashion icons such as Britain's Queen Elizabeth and the duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, would also re-wear their clothes. Continued...

The Cleburne County School System's Mission is to empower and equip all graduates for global success.
We will focus on our vision:
One Community, One Vision: Excellence
This year Cleburne County Schools will be implementing the five keys to excellence. These keys have been a part of our focus for the last two and one half years. The Keys to Excellence are:
Teach every student the content standards.
Monitor and assess for mastery of the content standards.
Provide intervention, remediation, enrichment, and learning supports depending on each student's needs.
Create and maintain a positive learning environment.
Build positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues county -wide.
CCMS Vision Statement:
The vision of Cleburne County Middle School is to provide a safe environment for all students to learn. Cleburne County Middle School will provide a curriculum that will enable students to attain the highest level of academic achievement and character development necessary for effective participation in society. Cleburne County Middle School will also ensure that students have developed the technology skills needed for an ever-changing world.
CCMS Goal:
Students will achieve proficiency in all areas of the core curriculum as specified in the Alabama State Course of Study and the Cleburne County Middle School Improvement Plan.
5th & 6th Grade Supply List
Check out our Continuous Improvement Plan
iNTENSIVE CARE UNIT Program
In order for learning to take place, assigned work is not optional. In an effort to help ALL STUDENTS reach their full potential, CCMS has implemented the ICU program. Just like the name implies, if a student's grades are in need of attention, we place them on the Intensive Care Unit or ICU List. Parents receive an email or text to let them know their student is missing or has failed an assignment. The students work with the faculty and staff to make up or complete the missed assignment, all the while LEARNING THE CONTENT and meeting his or her responsibility to LEARN. Upon completion, students are removed from the list and the parents receive an additional alert letting them know that the student has successfully completed the assignment.
Make sure you keep the school updated on any changes to your contact information throughout the year.
ICU by the Numbers
CCMS students completed 2,068 assignments through the ICU Program.
These are assignments that otherwise would be Zeroes or a FAILING grade.
The OVERALL completion rate for ALL assignments was 99.3%.

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------Whiskey Stones - Set of 9$5.99 + $5 ShippingCondition: New*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
A family member who drinks scotch was given these as a gift last year, and loves them.
Wasn't this on home.woot a few weeks ago?
rocks? really?
more like whiskey tango foxtrot.
How long can these hold their temperature? Could I replace these for the clear, melty things I put in my soda?
They either have a lot of these or someone forgot to start the woot off lights.
Somehow I think these things will absorb odors and end up being as worthless as a rock.
Cheaper then thinkgeek.
Just don't expect this to be an ice replacement for sodas etc. Really only get these if you actually drink whiskey, and want the temperature SLIGHTLY chilled....or if you want to look cool.
I love my whisky stones! I use them constantly!
They are also great for mixed drinks and other beverages that you wouldn't want to water down!
Whiskey Stones? What's next, Wine Dirt? Beer Gravel?
This is a great deal. I see these all the time for $20 for a set of 9. In for 3.
Happy Chanuka Shmuel. If you buy these as well, I guess you'll have lots of stones
Charlie Brown got some of these for Halloween.
I'm just glad these aren't kidney stones. Look at the size of those monsters!

Wait what? oh someone else... sorry, thing in my ear.
As for how well these work, I like them. bought them when they were available a few weeks back, and have used them a couple times. they're the smaller of the 2 varieties they have, and I figure the larger ones probably hold cold longer, but the do a decent enough job of dropping the temperature of my scotch without overly diluting it like adding too much ice would.
I've gotta nice set of stones myself. Sent to me from England. These work well to cool it down, but not so well to heat it up. You have to keep swapping stones in and out to slowly heat it; which becomes a chore.
You can,they aren't replacements for icecubes. . . I suggest using them in the liquids they're advertised for. These stones need to sit in the freezer overnight before use and if you use them in anything with sugar they will leave gunky residue even after wash. I leave em soaking in water for a day after used with mix drinks.
$19.99 + Shipping on ThinkGeek.
Been thinking about getting a set for a while, may just jump on this!
I'm using some right now that I got off one of the other woot sites. They don't stay cold as long as the manufacturer says, and are a MASSIVE disappointment.
I'm glad that they "will not react to household cleaners." Many of my beverage enhancers are greatly offended by Pledge®, Pine-Sol®, and they can't stand Mr. Clean®.
Got a set from thinkgeek.com for hubby for last Christmas. They do the trick. But he complained it didn't get the drink COLD enough. But fun either way!
Heh, "Generally Regarded As Safe".

Just don't expect this to be an ice replacement for sodas etc. Really only get these if you actually drink whiskey, and want the temperature SLIGHTLY chilled....or if you want to look cool.
So is the issue that they don't chill for very long, or that they don't chill very cold? What if you like to sip your whiskey over a long period of time? Just curious, really.
As a drinker of whiskey and whisky alike, I have to personally say that I've never liked whiskey stones. I always drink my liquor neat, but I liked the idea of stones so I bought a pack once and tried them. They sound much more graceful on paper than the actual result--and hopefully no one will be around the first time you carefully tip your glass back for a sip of scotch and you get pummeled in the face by a cube of alcohol-soaked marble.
However, you know, if you already know you want whiskey stones then, well, these would do I reckon.
Dude, I'm in for three. Awesome!
in for 3, amazing deal

No, you're just imagining things,...
I just can't find a price to compare to $5.99 now.
I got these for Christmas last year. I'd ballpark their cooling capacity at about 1/5 regular old ice. Plus, they make things taste a bit like rock. From Earth to Earth these things went.

I just had lithotripty for robin's egg size stone today. Thanks for thinking of me.
Well at least by the map you can tell which states have the most alcoholics. Happy wooting and goodnight!
Check out the stones on this deal.
I chew my ice. These would be a disaster.
How do these compare to ice cubes? If I filled a cooler with like 900 of these things, would it stay cold for days?

They chill for a good while, just not to an ice level. Don't get me wrong, if you're sipping whiskey, get these bad boys!
I just made the mistake of thinking it would replace ice forever.

BulkRegister.com, the second-largest domain name registrar, is expanding its focus to include corporations that own hundreds or thousands of domain names as well as ISPs and Web hosting companies that are its traditional customer base.
A wholesaler of domain names, BulkRegister.com already has attracted several large corporations, including Revlon, Universal Studios and Amway with its discounts for companies that transfer more than 50 names into the BulkRegister.com system.
"This is a rich market for us," says Tony Keyes, BulkRegister.com's CEO. "Corporations involved in consumer retail want to have their brand names represented on the Internet. And they have lots of names."
BulkRegister.com offers these companies registration fees that go as low as $8 per domain name, per year for the bulk transfer of names into the BulkRegister.com system. However, companies have to pay a $79 annual membership fee to use the BulkRegister.com service.
BulkRegister.com also offers 10-year and perpetual registrations for domain names, as well as dedicated account managers. Customers access the BulkRegister.com service via a Web-based interface that lets them manage and update their list of domain names themselves.
Amway cites simplicity
Amway switched 400 of its 3,500 domain names to BulkRegister.com about three months ago, says Elsie Morren, an associate patent paralegal for the Ada, Mich., company. Previously, the domain names were registered with Network Solutions, the No. 1 domain name registrar.
"We chose BulkRegister.com because of the simplicity of accessing all our activity on our account online," Morren says. "The automated registration service that BulkRegister.com offers is fast and very reliable, and you can't beat the price."
Morren says Amway plans to register most of its new domain names through BulkRegister.com from now on.
BulkRegister is planning a new suite of services for corporate customers that will be available early next year. The Identity Suite will include a toll-free telephone number, a matching domain name, an IP address, a Real Names identifier and a Web presence.
As a sign of the power of the Identity Suite, Keyes points to 1-800-flowers.com, a popular online gift site. "The value of this offering is that companies will be able to publish one identity on the Web," Keyes explains.
BulkRegister.com also plans to add a consulting service, trademark research and title insurance for domain names before the end of the year.
BulkRegister.com sells its services through a network of 9,000 resellers including ISPs, Web hosting companies and Web site designers. So far, the company has registered more than 1.7 million domain names.
This story, "Get your red-hot domain names here" was originally published by Network World.

If it is proved that Hamas was behind Thursday's kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority will reevaluate its unity pact with Hamas, a senior official in the Palestinian Authority told The Times of Israel on Monday.
The official said that the kidnapping would mark a breach of the understandings between Fatah and Hamas, and would render their unity agreement null and void.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also said that the assessment in Palestinian intelligence is that Hamas, or a faction within Hamas, was responsible for the kidnappings Thursday night of Eyal Yifrach, Gil-ad Shaar and Naftali Frankel.
He said that in the course of negotiations between Fatah and Hamas, issues other than the declared goal of first forming a unity government and then moving toward Palestinian elections six months later were discussed. "There was an understanding that the Palestinians want to establish a state along the pre-1967 borders and that Hamas would desist from [terrorist] attacks," the official said. "We stressed this issue with them time and again, and they agreed that there would be no bloodshed.
"We discussed with them in great detail that the Palestinians are proceeding solely with 'popular resistance' and not with armed resistance," the official went on. "If it becomes clear that Hamas is responsible for the kidnapping and breached the agreement, that would mark the crossing of a red line from our point of view, and we could not maintain the reconciliation status quo."
The official also said that Monday's phone conversation between PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was positive. He said Abbas had condemned the kidnapping and promised security assistance.
The assessment in Palestinian intelligence circles, the official went on, is that Hamas, or a faction within Hamas, is responsible for the kidnapping, as Netanyahu has charged. "Still, we need to wait before jumping to conclusions, and understand who truly kidnapped the three," he said. "But from our point of view, blood is blood, and bloodshed is unacceptable. Whoever carried out this action sought to undermine Palestinian unity and to create chaos, and that is unacceptable."
It is understood that other Palestinian officials have reached similar conclusions and conveyed them to their Israeli counterparts in the last few days. One senior Palestinian official is said to have vowed forceful PA action against the Hamas infrastructure in the West Bank, once the kidnapping episode is over, if it is established that Hamas was responsible.

These are good quality swivels that I use between the braided line and the fluorocarbon leader. They seem quite saltwater resistant (more so that some other brands I have used). The only thing for me is that the size I ordered is a bit small and passes through the first eyelet of my rod if I'm not careful. I should have ordered a slightly bigger size.

Hi Ira, my local dealer has failed to impress me and I'm hoping you can help. I'm currently abroad until early December and everybody has refused to deal with me through email- obviously it's impractical to talk by phone because that would be extremely expensive.
1) I'm looking to buy/lease in December. What is the trend in selling for December because the year is ending?
2) I'm specifically looking for an SE Hatchback 5 Speed Manual with the 201A and Winter Package for sure. I could deal with a Black Pack depending on the color, as well as a moonroof but neither is a must have. Colors I'm interested in are Performance Blue, Tuxedo Black, and Oxford White, with blue my first choice and the other two tied for second. Could you locate ones in White and Blue? I've found a Tux at Washington Ford nearby.
3) My zip is 15238, Pittsburgh PA. I'm a college student graduating this May. What would be the price you could offer on a similar car today given student discounts, a fair price between invoice and MSRP, and the current incentives on 2013 Focuses?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help to this forum!

Scriabin Turns 139
Alexander Scriabin often comes across as an unsavory character, even when compared to his Russian colleagues (among whom we find hardened recluses and raging alcoholics). He left his wife and four children to live with another woman (and, at the same time, seduced a young female student). He believed that he could develop magical powers through his music. He once wrote "I am God" in his diary.
Some accuse him of egomania, while others take it one step further and see in him full-blown megalomania. Even music as powerful as Scriabin's is liable to be viewed with a degree of skepticism, given the ill-conceived ideas and seemingly sinister motives of its creator.
Beneath the surface, however, is a far more sympathetic figure than the one just described (which, ostensibly, is the one most shared by the casual listener). For instance, when ending his first marriage, he took pains to see that his wife and four children were provided for. As frenzied and impulsive as he may have been, his sensitivity was such that the process of leaving his first marriage took over a year.
One also finds that his leanings toward Theosophy -- a cult that believed that humans would soon evolve to develop magical powers -- were kept in check, in a way, by his fundamental belief that man's greatest power lies in creativity. In other words, whatever highest truth he may have dreamt up, there was no better service to that truth than the perfection of his art. And it was likely the yearning for an ultimate truth -- rather than the thirst for power that comes across in some of his writings -- that provided the inspiration for Scriabin in the latter part of his life. The words "I am God" appear a good deal less arrogant when viewed in their full context: "If there is no God, then I am God."
Scriabin's later style -- the music he wrote from about 1903 on -- both anticipates and encapsulates the early 20th Century's radical and rapid changes. His music captures with uncanny precision the tension, agony and turmoil of the world around him during his final years, and does so without resorting to Stravinsky's violent gesticulations or Schoenberg's brutal serialism. His departure from tonality and forays into "sensory painting" in his music -- for example, images of fire and suggestions of blinding flashes of light -- pre-date the revolutionary works of Schoenberg, Stravinsky and other contemporaries. Had he lived just a few more years and his music reached a few more ears in the west, he might very well have become the defining musical voice of the 20th Century.

The outgoing Regional Vice President for World Vision International – East Africa, Dr. Charles Ebow Owubah has said that Rwanda communities will receive more support aimed at improving community based development activities in the country.
Dr. Charles Ebow Owubah made the remarks on February 12, 2014 while paying a courtesy call and bidding farewell to Rwanda's Prime Minister, Dr. Pierre Damien Habumuremyi, ahead of moving to his new assignment to the US World Vision headquarters.
Dr. Charles Ebow Owubah appreciated the achievement and good partnership between Rwanda and the World Vision saying that there is evidence that the communities have made significant progress in socio-economic aspects towards self sustainability through the existing partnership.
World Vision Rwanda Country Director, George Gitau stated that in this regard World Vision plans on increasing projects funding in the districts of Ngororero, Rusizi, Nyamagabe, Nyaruguru, Gisagara plus special projects for the Nyungwe forest, with each project estimated at $5000
World Vision started working in Rwanda in 1994 and up today it provides support in areas like maternal, newborn and Child Health, health and nutrition, HIV/Aids, malaria, water, sanitation, hygiene, livelihood and food security, gender, child protection, education, disaster response, peace building, gender, environment.
World vision currently operates in 15 districts out of the 30 districts countrywide, spending at least $30.000 each year.

Assessing Weather via Satellite

Looking forward on Spirit's maiden voyage in the middle of the Bermuda High.

In early April, the brand new, 960-foot cruise ship Carnival Spirit departed Helsinki, Finland bound for Miami, FL, a voyage of over 5,000 miles. To obtain weather data during this voyage, Spirits crew depended upon Inmarsat satellite communications, which allowed them to download compressed weather files from Ocean Routes, a commercial routing service, as well as access the Internet and obtain National Weather Service Marine Prediction Center products.

I was aboard for this voyage and I brought along a Global Star satellite phone and a laptop computer loaded with the latest version of SeaStation 2000, a premier weather access software (www.ocens.com). Global Star provides satellite voice and data communications and allows both ftp and http access to the Internet at a data rate of 9,600 baud.

What can this do for a mariner? Within SeaStation is a directory of all world meteorological organization (WMO) weather charts available on the Internet. This directory is linked with the specific Internet addresses (URLs) of each chart and so that when a desired chart is selected and the "download" button clicked in SeaStation, the GlobalStar phone allows that chart to be saved into the SeaStation directory. With this portable system, a single chart requires approximately 20 seconds or less to download.

The author downloaded this weather chart via his GlobalStar phone and used SeaStation 2000 software to plot the vessel's rhumbline route.

Why do I mention this and is this capability useful to mariners? Well for myself and others who have struggled with obtaining charts via weatherfax, where one chart takes 10 to 15 minutes to print out, and is often so unreadable as to be nearly useless, this SeaStation-GlobalStar capability is truly impressive due to its speed and reception quality.

Accompanying this article is the 96-hour, surface-forecast chart that I downloaded on April 17 while on that trip. During the downloading process I had the choice of viewing each chart on line or downloading a batch of charts, logging off, and then opening each chart within SeaStation. For cost effectiveness the recommended process is to create a "batch download" menu within SeaStation, essentially a shopping cart of charts you would like to obtain. When a batch has been created, and the "download" button clicked within SeaStation, the software goes out to the Internet using the GlobalStar connection and without further action by you the user, downloads each chartone by oneinto the SeaStation download directory. Within the directory charts are ordered by date and type.

This screen grab from the SeaStation 2000 program shows projected satellite coverage.

While I wrote this article, the Spirit was positioned at 39N/32W on a heading of 249 degrees true, 20.6 knots. We were abeam of Flores, Azores, sitting in the middle of the Azores-Bermuda high pressure. There was a low swell coming in from the west, about four to six feet, while local seas were less than a foot since the winds were below 10 knots. That was good weather for a large steamship since we wanted to avoid head winds and large swells as much as possible.

Using the Marine Prediction Centers 24, 48 and 96-hour surface and 500-mb charts we were able to determine an optimal route for reaching Miami by the morning of April 24. Spirit is the Carnival cruise lines newest ship and there was a busy schedule planned upon arrival in the US. The owners had made clear that avoiding heavy weather on this maiden Atlantic crossing was a priority.

SeaStations weather chart directory assists greatly in obtaining the most appropriate charts regardless of the time of day because within each product listing there are choices listed by valid time as well as by "most current." How is this useful? Because I no longer need to be concerned with broadcast schedules as I was when using wefax. Regardless of the time I always chose "most current" when downloading either individual charts or building a batch download. I allow SeaStation to compare the time of chart release to the present time and pull down the "most current" product.

An example of real-time weather presented via the SeaStation 2000 program.

Once my selected charts are downloaded, I open them within SeaStation, overlay a latitude/longitude grid, and then input GPS data, which places a cursor at Spirits present position. I have turned a weather chart into an electronic chart on which I can navigate until the next appropriate weather chart is downloaded. For me, theres no better way to navigate on the open ocean than by using a weather chart since wind, waves, swells, clouds are the most important navigational features in this setting.

Of course, once I finished this article I had two options: send it to SailNet via GlobalStar as an attachment to my e-mail, or transfer it to a floppy disc, take it up to Spirits bridge, and send it via the ships Inmarsat system. Since I am always looking for reasons to spend time on the bridge (there is a terrific espresso machine in the pantry), I chose the option of sending via the ship's satellite communications system.

I remember the satisfaction I had being able to send the article off with full confidence that it would arrive easily by the deadline. I wasnt actually sure when that was, but at that particular moment, life under the Bermuda-Azores high pressure was extremely pleasant and I wasnt too concerned. All our navigation concerns were attended to, and I had a great cup of espresso in my immediate future.

Over the Horizon

The author's preference for SeaStation 2000 notwithstanding, there are a number of products on the market that allow enhanced navigation by way of integrating satellite weather data with charting software.

The key for mariners is knowing which bells and whistles you need and want (ie. bathymetric data, radar overlays, etc.), and making sure you get a system compatible with your computer. Here's a quick take on a few of these programs:

MaxSea, used by around-the-world racers, is the only program available for PowerMac. (www.maxsea.com)
Nobletec's Visual Navigation Suite 6.0 offers three levels of sophistication for weather information (from basic, to coastal, to offshore). (www.nobletech.com)
RayTech's Navigator is easily expandable, and comes in additional versions for racers (Sail Racer) and anglers (Fishing Pro). (www.raymarineonline.com)

Sonic's Romero wins custom Orange County Sonic Chopper
Each autumn, employees of Sonic-D&B Properties enjoy a tradition that revs their engines.
The Sonic National Convention, held each fall, is generally the highlight of the year for the D&B team. The gathering offers new strategies and inspiration, and leaves participants ready to kick-start a new year upon their return.
This year, however, members of the local Sonic family wondered if it would be possible to attend the convention at all.
Jack Dewitt, the head of D&B Properties -- and a family member and mentor to many in the local Sonic organization -- passed away in early September. Dewitt, who secured the 71st Sonic franchise in the nation in 1971, was very ill in the weeks leading up the convention and lost his life just days before the annual event.
Facing the loss of someone so dear made following through with the trip difficult. But the D&B family gathered the strength Dewitt had imparted upon them and traveled to San Diego for the national convention.
And it seems Big Jack was smiling down on his team during the final session.
Dewitt's granddaughter, Kari Romero, chose a seat in the auditorium that led her to take home the grand prize of the event -- a one-of-a-kind motorcycle built by Paul Teutul Sr. of Orange County Choppers.
"Kari won it a week after Jack passed away," said Sonic-D&B Properties CEO and franchisee Penny Guthrie. "Jack would have really got a kick out of seeing our team win the chopper. It would have put a big smile on his face."
"He would have loved this," said Romero. "He loved to be out on the road. (In the summer), we would just ride from Sonic to Sonic. This would have made him think of the open road."
A sneak peak of the chopper was offered in the opening session of the Sonic convention. A part of the upcoming "Orange County Choppers" season on CMT, footage of the episode featuring the bike was included in a video welcoming attendees to the 2013 event.
"They showed some footage of the bike at the beginning of the convention," said Romero. "They showed the Orange County Choppers design team going to a Sonic to get inspiration for the bike, but they never brought it up again until the very last moment."
Throughout the convention, attendees were encouraged to accrue points to earn a spot on stage for the last session. At the beginning of the last event, the attendees with the top three points were called up on stage as contestants in a game show-style competition featuring Sonic trivia. Three prizes were announced: a trip to the Country Music Association awards show, a trip to the Caribbean and a trip to the major league baseball All-Star Game and Homerun Derby.
Newbern Sonic Manager Teri Peevyhouse, a part of the D&B team, earned one of the coveted spots in the competition. Romero cheered as her teammate took a place on stage with two other contestants.
But Sonic had a couple more surprises in store for employees attending the convention.
An envelope was secured to the bottom of one of the seats in the auditorium providing a ticket on stage for one more contestant -- a seat occupied by Big Jack's granddaughter, Kari Romero.
Although Romero won the motorcycle after nearly tripling the points of her closest competitor in the trivia competition, she had provided her teammates with plenty of opportunities to sit in the seat that started it all.
"I had empty seats all around me," said Romero, who chose an open row with plenty of space for members of the Dyer County team when she first arrived in the auditorium.
One by one, Romero's fellow employees entered. She laughs as she recalls how each one chose a seat several rows in front of her.
"Nobody sat by me," said Romero, still chuckling. "I thought 'That's OK, Uncle Mark will sit next to me.'"
Before the contestants were named, an announcement requested audience members to move forward and fill in the empty seats closer to the stage. Romero and her uncle, Mark Roberson, moved down -- and, still, the duo was on their own.
"Mark moved to the end of the row," said Romero. "I sat next to him and nobody sat next to me."
A member of the Sonic production team requested Roberson's seat by the aisle. Roberson joked that he wanted to keep his seat, but he and Romero each moved down one chair on the row.
"There was one envelope in the whole place," said Romero. "When they told everyone to look under their seat, I knew the envelope was under mine. I knew that was why the lady asked us to move down."
Romero was right. She ran down the aisle, arms waving, and took her place on stage.
"We had two of the four contestants," said Guthrie. "As soon as we found out it was Sonic questions, I knew (Kari) was going to win it."
"I have two master's degrees, so I tend to retain information," said Romero. "(But) I've never won anything in my life. My grandmother even says 'If it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck.' I would have never in a million years thought I'd be up there."
Once on stage, Romero did the math and realized the convention was one prize short for the number of contestants participating. She spent her first few minutes on Contestant Row peering as far as she could backstage, hoping to catch a glimpse of the motorcycle.
"I was looking for the bike, looking for the bike," said Romero. "I was determined I was going to find that bike."
Soon, it was time for Romero to focus her attention on the competition. As she concentrated on the questions, she also pumped up the energy for her time on stage. Romero and her husband, Justin, have a great deal of experience in drama. Justin Romero is a minister and the couple presented and produced many church theatrical performances.
"I knew from a background in drama that they were looking for enthusiasm," said Romero.
The first question was appropriate for the Tennessee girl who lived in Memphis from the time she started Rhodes College in 1995.
"The question that I answered first was, 'What song did the band just play at the break?' remembered Romero. "Appropriately, it was 'Walking in Memphis' -- I lived in Memphis from 1995 to 2005."
The question that decided the fate of the Sonic Chopper also drew on Romero's expertise.
"The question that I got the most points on was something along the lines of 'What is the average annual cost of employee turnover in a Sonic Drive-In?' I couldn't remember the whole figure, but I remembered it ended in 500."
When the contestant next to her answered "$67,000," Romero took clues from the announcer to find the winning answer.
"The announcer looked back to the judges and asked 'Will you accept that answer?' and I knew it had to be $67,500 or he wouldn't have asked," said Romero, who buzzed in when the judges declined her competitor's answer and earned the points herself.
The final tally had Romero at 80 points, with the second-place contestant earning 30, and third and fourth place tied at 20.
"They did a tie-breaker to determine the order and the winner was allowed to choose their prize," said Romero. "But before I could choose anything, the announcer goes 'Oh my! We have four contestants, but we only have three prizes! What are we going to do?' and then all you could hear was the chopper revving up its engine."
As the contestants and the audience cheered, the one-of-a-kind Sonic chopper was driven on stage by none other than Paul Sr., himself.
Members of the Orange County Choppers production team were on hand to film the competition and Romero's win. She will appear on the episode featuring the Sonic chopper, scheduled to air on Saturday, Dec. 14.
The chopper features several touches inspired by the Sonic brand, including the start button, which looks just like the red button on the drive-in menu. The bike pops with a colorful red, yellow and blue paint scheme. Accents include neon lights and even the Sonic logo fashioned into the polished aluminum rims.
The chopper is now the property of the D&B Properties team. The one-of-a-kind creation has appeared locally in the Dyersburg Christmas parade and the D&B staff is currently organizing a tour of its 40 Sonic restaurants.
Inclement weather has limited opportunities for area residents to see the chopper up close before the episode airs. The bike was unable to attend the Newbern Christmas parade and Bike Night at Sonic No. 2 in Dyersburg prior to its debut on CMT, but officials are working on scheduling local events after icy conditions subside.
Winning a one-of-a-kind custom chopper, meeting the celebrity who built it, and taping promotions for both Orange County Choppers and Sonic all took place in just a matter of hours for Romero. The experience was such a whirlwind that the bike was loaded up and on its way to Tennessee before Romero's husband and sons returned to the convention. The chopper even made it home to Dyersburg well before the team returned from California.
"It was quite an experience," said Romero, sitting on the seat of the chopper. "It's a lot to take in."

I feel on the background of home page like floor choose better pattern
Imho. you should a little improve headlines, they're not really well visible somewhere. Anyway, it's pretty nice piece of design.
Hi mate!
I love it and would like to contribute my opinion:
To me, the black is too bold,
I would like to see more even padding (between the green top banner and the grey counter for example, I would increase that. I would also increase the padding between headline and subheadline in the nav items.),
the comments section deserves more love and equal top/bottom padding,
the comment form and button needs a hug,
also, just the black outline on all the boxes seem a bit harsh, might look better if you toned them down or added a brighter inline border
and the footer looks not done for me. In my mind I am seeing a discrete border-bottom: 1px dotted #444 or similar.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, by no means it's meant to be harsh criticism and you are always free to ignore it
All the best,
Wow mod's theme
I think header area is too messy and footer looks so generic.

Barclays Diamond Reluctant to Tackle Bonus, Ex-Director Says
Barclays Plc (BARC) former Chief Executive Officer Robert Diamond was reluctant to tackle "obscene" levels of pay as he was overly protective of investment bankers, ex-compensation committee head Alison Carnwath said.
The committee asked Diamond when he was promoted in January 2011 to clarify compensation to employees, Carnwath wrote in a submission to the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards today.
"Diamond was reluctant to do this and reluctant to accept pay at Barclays was high particularly in the investment bank," Carnwath wrote. "Barclays were demanding too much patience from their shareholders and were insufficiently sensitive to the political and economic environment."
Carnwath quit Britain's second-largest bank by assets in July after the bank lost its three most senior figures amid the lender's 290 million-pound ($458 million) fine for rigging global interest rates. About 21 percent of Barclays's shareholders opposed her re-election as a non-executive director in April amid criticism from investors the lender was enriching employees, while failing to hit its own profitability targets.
Diamond "thought he found loyalty in people around him by paying them very well," Carnwath said. "In my view more than he needed to."
Deferred Bonus
Carnwath said that after a poor performance for the bank in 2011, during which the stock fell 33 percent, she was alone in recommending Diamond should receive no bonus. Diamond was awarded a 2.7 million-pound deferred bonus in shares for 2011, according to the bank's annual report.
Former Chairman Marcus Agius "is in a better position to explain how his formulation was reached," she said in the submission. "Mr. Diamond needed to set an example to all stakeholders that remuneration policies had to change to reflect the low return environment."
Diamond agreed before he resigned in July to cap the pay of some bankers who received too much because of the structure of some plans, she said.
Bonuses Cut
Some executives had their bonuses reduced following the scandal over payment protection insurance, or PPI, when consumers were sold loans insurance they did not want or need, she said. It was more difficult to adjust bonuses for deals that caused "reputational damage such as the bank's tax affairs, or its ''protium'' deal, Carnwath said.
FSA Chairman Adair Turner said in July Barclays's protium transaction in 2009, which involved moving the riskiest assets off its balance sheet using a Cayman Islands-based fund run by former executives, was a ''convoluted attempt to portray a favorable accounting result.''
Annual bonuses paid in the future should be lower and made only after shareholders have benefited from the bank's performance, Carnwath said.
Carnwath was paid 158,000 pounds in 2011 at Barclays, the third-highest of its 10 non-executive directors that year, according to the annual report.
Separately at the parliamentary commission, Barclays's current compensation committee chairman John Sunderland said it was right for Diamond to receive a bonus as he ''deserved some recognition" for his work, though he would have "debated the quantum" of the award.
Andrew Tyrie, the head of the bank commission, suggested Diamond's 1.35 million-pound salary would have been enough of an award for his work. "1.3 million by any stretch of the imagination is what most people would consider to be a bit of recognition," Tyrie said.
Capital Markets
The commission received testimony from a witness who said in 2000 that the structured capital markets division of Barclays contributed 110 percent of Barclays's investment banking unit's profit, Labour lawmaker John McFall said.
"We saw the profitability by division of all the elements of the investment bank including structured capital markets," Sunderland said. "At no time can I recall that would constitute 110 percent of the total profits of that bank."
Barclays in 2009 denied a Guardian newspaper report that it made about 1 billion pounds a year from tax-avoidance activities in its structured capital markets business.
Parliamentarians also questioned Sunderland on mis-sold loan insurance. Lawmaker Andrew Turnbull described as "just rubbish" Sunderland's assertion that most PPI sales were made in the last 10 years and that most people associated with the scandal are "long gone from the bank."
"This committee has done a lot of work on this," said Turnbull. "This doesn't go back 10 years, the complaints started to reach crescendo in 2005."
