Pregnant Drew Barrymore Does Some Serious Holiday Shopping
Getting in some grocery shopping for Thanksgiving on Thursday (November 28), Drew Barrymore went out in Los Angeles, showing off her growing baby bump.
Cute in a gray tee and jeans, the "Going the Distance" starlet strode right along beside a friend, with a shopping cart full of Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies.
The 38-year-old beauty also wore a brilliant heart-shaped crystal pendant, and is expecting her second child with husband Will Kopelman.
Drew has also been readying daughter Olive to be a big sister. "I read her a lot of books. She loves books! That's her favorite thing in the world, books," she told Us Weekly. "She is 14 months so it's as much as she can grasp but she definitely gets it. She points to my stomach and says baby. How cool is that?"
Enjoy the pictures of Drew Barrymore shopping in Los Angeles, CA (November 28).

College age females can "Kiss Chlamydia Goodbye" for Valentine's Day
getSTDtested.com provides discount for confidential, convenient, testing and treatment services
CHICAGO – February 11, 2010 – getSTDtested.com, a physician driven, STD testing and treatment online clinic today announced a campaign called "Kiss Chlamydia Goodbye" to encourage young women to take action to prevent chlamydia.
Chlamydia is an infection that is easy to diagnose and readily cured with antibiotic treatment. The campaign to "Kiss Chlamydia Goodbye" responds to a call to action by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force that all sexually active females 24-years of age and younger should be screened annually.
Chlamydia infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease, responsible for a record 1.1 million cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2007. CDC experts estimate that twice that many cases go undetected. Left untreated, chlamydia can cause infertility or potentially fatal ectopic pregnancies. But many women aren't aware they are exposed until years later when they try to have a baby and may run into problems.
Through February 28, getSTDtested.com is offering 18-24-year-old females and their partners a $20.00 discount for testing and treatment services by visiting Kiss ChlamydiaGoodbye.com. The chlamydia test is conducted with a urine sample collected in home or at a convenient service center and then tested at the nation's leading diagnostic laboratory. For individuals with positive results, physicians provide counsel and treat inexpensively with antibiotics.
"Our site, getSTDtested.com, launched last May. Since then, chlamydia has become one of the top three requested tests on the site. There is definitely a need for more screening when nearly 58% of young women in the U.S. are not doing so. It only requires a simple urine test. getSTDtested.com has physician counselors available to discuss the results if desired," says Tracey Powell, CEO of getSTDtested.com.
Today there are 17 million students1 enrolled in college, 9.9 million of which are females between 18-24 years old. Many don't think to ask about chlamydia because there are few symptoms. The majority of young women do not know their chlamydia status. The Partnership for Prevention reported last year that the chlamydia screening rate was 41.6 percent in 2007. Testing is available at some campus clinics, yet many students do not always want to use these services. Additionally, many campuses don't have clinic services available.
The National Chlamydia Coalition suggests numerous reasons why young adults should get tested:
- Chlamydia is extremely common with 9.7% of freshman college students infected an there are three million new cases annually
- Chlamydia facilitates transmission of HIV in both males and females
- 40% of untreated chlamydia infections lead to inflammatory disease and 20% of these cases lead to infertility
- Chlamydia is readily and inexpensively treated with antibiotics
Couples can learn from one young woman's story that is featured in the short movie, "The O Mission," sponsored by getSTDtested.com. A college-age rock singer at risk for chlamydia goes online for health information, as 51% of adults 18-64 years do in a year2. There, she and many of her peers are comfortable searching for answers. She gets expert advice at getSTDtested.com's online forum and is provided convenient access to physician-connected testing and counseling services.
About Get STD Tested
GetSTDtested.com is an online STD awareness and testing site, helping to destigmatize, prevent, and control the 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases that occur each year in the U.S. The site is the first confidential online clinic to receive the American Social Health Association seal of approval. It gives consumers direct access to STD testing and counseling solutions based on a medical and health expert developed personalized test recommendation.

One Response to "College age females can "Kiss Chlamydia Goodbye" for Valentine's Day"
What an innovative way to empower women to take care of their health. Especially, in a way that protects them from having to approach their parents about something that may never have been addressed with them before. Presenting women with more options to learn about their bodies, explore ways to protect themselves and ultimately help someone else can really make a difference.

January retail sales figures are out on Wednesday. The figure is expected to be up just 0.1%, but minus cars should rise 0.3%. On Friday, the producer price index should reflect how little price pressure there is in the pipeline with a 0.1% rise in the headline and core rates. Also on Friday, the Michigan consumer sentiment survey, which gives the first indication of how upbeat consumers are feeling this month, is expected to firm to 94.4 from 93.
On the downside, industrial output for January is expected to fall 0.2% with capacity utilisation dropping to 74.2%, indicating a recovery in the battered manufacturing sector has not yet begun.
On the earnings front, computer hardware maker Dell is expected to show earnings of 17 cents a share, flat against a year ago, while rival Hewlett-Packard is thought to have declined to about 16 cents a share from 41 cents.

SPC to offer new Concealed Handgun License course
LEVELLAND – South Plains College will offer the new, shorter Concealed Handgun License course on Oct. 5, Nov. 2 and Dec. 7.

The course covers the laws pertaining to concealed carry and the use of force or deadly force. Safe gun handling and storage, including storage with children in the home also are covered as well as non-violent dispute resolution.
Students will need a handgun and 50 rounds of ammunition. They must pass a 25 question written test, demonstrate safe and proficient gun handling, scoring at least 70 percent on a shooting test at distances ranging from three to 15 yards.

Trouble In the Glen

It's a very good movie to see, just like Darby O'gill and The Little People, it has every thing drama, comedy, and action. It is sad that it is not on DVD when other movies that are nothing is printed and released on DVD every day. I do hope Mr. Ted Turner reads this and will take it in consideration. I know he recently released Clark Gable Key To The City, and Never Let Me Go. The actors of years gone by seemed to take pride in thier craft.

I recently added an uppipe and shorty downpipe to my wagon, and now it's time for me to look into tuning options. I autox, and I'm trying to stay within STX so that I won't be too far out of my league. The main two tuning options I've come up with are Accessport and open source tuning.
The AP is more expensive to start with, but offers fairly safe off the shelf maps, and I can switch between a street map (normal stage 2) and a autox map (STX stage 2). Open source would also allow switching (albeit I would need to bring a laptop along), but I would need to create the map from scratch. I have done a lot of reading on tuning, and I know you cannot alter boost or wastegate cycles in STX, but I'm still not all that comfortable tuning it myself yet. Also, by the time I get a wideband, EGT gauge, etc., the cost will start creeping up close to the AP.
Are there any other reasonable options out there? Does anyone have any other advice to offer? Right now I'm leaning towards the AP, but I want to make sure I've done my homework before making a decision.
Mods, if you think this belongs more in the engine management forum, please move it, but I thought I might get a more direct response from the rest of the autox crowd.

text: I have had a leak in my cooling system and have had to top off daily. It got to point now the vehicle overheats and that's that. I pulled apart what I could and found that the bottom of the resovit tank has what appears like a starburst design crack, I ran water in it and it began to leak. Would this cause extreme coolant loss and overheating? I am looking around but it has been snow and rain here and I do not have a garage to dry it all out. NAPA does not carry the part but said maybe I can repair it. It is on the bottom.

If there was one thing almost everyone was certain about in the run-up to Wednesday's music event, it was that the new iPod Touches would include a camera. This makes sense, as the iPod Touch is a cousin to the iPhone, which already has a built-in camera (video now, even!) so surely it wouldn't be such a difficult thing to do? The iPod Nano went mostly ignored, which is probably because they get mostly ignored in general (though it's worth noting that not everybody forgot about them.)
Usually when a rumor is this widespread it has some basis in reality. AppleInsider reported just before the event that "technical issues" would hold back the camera-enabled phone. Now, it goes without saying that any last-minute technical issues would prevent the rollout of the device entirely -- it's not like Apple could simply redesign a cameraless version in weeks or days. Thus, I sort of expected that, if this report was true, we wouldn't see new iPod Touches at all (something I sort of imagined might be the case in the interminable lead-up to their introduction at the event).
But the next-gen Touches are here, so obviously the tech troubles, if such they were, arose quite a long time ago, as more recent reports suggest. The question is: how did these rumors continue to roll around months after the process of changing the Touch began? It makes you wonder the extent to which these rumor storms begin with a useful nugget from one person with access to information but without updated access to information.
Meanwhile, Steve Jobs cheerfully told the New York Times that there's no camera in an iPod Touch because they had to keep the price low, so that it could serve as a "gateway drug" to the App Store. It's sort of hard to believe that a camera would add more than, say $20 or $30 to the final result, but Phil Schiller did say that $199 was a "magic price point" so who knows.
Oh, and if you're wondering how Apple managed to cram that video camera -- along with everything else -- into the iPod Nano, check out the pics from iFixit!

Cholo writing originally constitues the handstyle created by the Latino gangs in Los Angeles. It is probably the oldest form of the graffiti of names in the 20th century, with its own aesthetic, evident long before the East Coast appearance and the explosion in the early 1970s in Philadelphia and New York. The term cholo means lowlife , appropriated by Chicano youth to describe the style and people associated with local gangs; cholo became a popular expression to define the Mexican American culture. Latino gangs are a parallel reality of the local urban life, with their own traditions and codes from oral language, way of dressing, tattoos and hand signs to letterforms. These wall-writings, sometimes called the newspaper of the streets , are territorial signs which main function is to define clearly and constantly the limits of a gang s influence area and encouraging gang strength, a graffiti made by the neighborhood for the neighborhood. Cholo inscriptions has a speficic written aesthetic based on a strong sense of the place and on a monolinear adaptation of historic blackletters for street bombing. Howard Gribble, an amateur photographer from the city of Torrance in the South of Los Angeles County, documented Latino gang graffiti from 1970 to 1975. These photographs of various Cholo handletterings, constituted an unique opportunity to try to push forward the calligraphic analysis of Cholo writing, its origins and formal evolution. A second series of photographs made by Fran ? ? ? §ois Chastanet in 2008 from East LA to South Central, are an attempt to produce a visual comparison of letterforms by finding the same barrios (neighborhoods) and gangs group names more than thirty five years after Gribble s work. Without ignoring the violence and self-destruction inherent to la vida loca (or the crazy life , referring to the barrio gang experience), this present book documents the visual strategies of a given sub-culture to survive as a visible entity in an environement made of a never ending sprawl of warehouses, freeways, wood framed houses, fences and back alleys: welcome to LA suburbia, where block after block, one can observe more of the same. The two exceptionnal photographical series and essays are a tentative for the recognization of Cholo writing as a major influence on the whole Californian underground cultures.

Brookfield Ice Harvest Is A Tradition That Lives On
It was a beautiful, blue-bird day, with a high of about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. A couple dozen hearty souls braved the cold and came to the ice harvest, stayed through the BBQ, and watched Joan Neely's Siberian huskies run.
At the end of the day, folks were treated to an impromptu capella performance by Bill, Jeff, Eric, and Erica Fellinger by the fire inside Lotus Lake's meeting room.
The entire day felt like an extended family gathering with grandparents, kids, and grandchildren all over the property said Jaime Sipperly who is the program director at Lotus Lake.
The ice was in pristine condition due to the rain a couple weeks ago, he said. "It has wonderful smooth surface that was perfect for ice harvesting and for fun games of boot hockey!"
There was some confusion about the time and location the event because this was the first year the Brookfield Ice Harvest was located at Lotus Lake Discovery Center, which is located in Williamstown.
"We apologize to any of you who missed Al Wilder's ice harvesting demo. We'd like thank everyone who helped make this event happen, especially the Lotus Lake Discovery Center board, Al Wilder, and Joan Neely," Mr. Cipperly said.
Of course anyone who missed the fun will have a chance to do it all over again next year, Mr. Cipperly added.

My engine light came on, when I had the garage check the code, they told me I needed a new EGR Valve. What problems will result if this is not replaced. Thank you
Q: EGR Valve on 1997 Nissan Maxima
(3) Answers
hey sinauto, I'm curious about what you stated, how can the gas cap cause an EGR code?
If you are working on it yourself I would recommend trying to clean the valve out with carb cleaner. Under the valve will be two holes, one to the intake & one to the exhaust. Spray carb cleaner in these holes & stick anything you can down there to help clean out the carbon. The EGR valve itself rarely fails mechanically it just gets clogged with carbon which will make it stick open or closed. If you have someone else do the repair you might as well replace the valve because there is no point paying someone to do a service that might not work.
You will fail the Yearly inspection, in some cars you could have your car misfire, sometimes if you leave your gas cap loose it can cause the EGR code try to replace the Gas Cap and reset the engine light with a Scantool or by disconnecting the battery terminals for 10mins if your radio is OEM from Nissan Make sure you have the radio code before you do this or simply buy a scantool Sinautoscan.com offers some for cheap.

Angie's List: Exterior home staging
Home staging can help you sell your home more quickly. It's not just the look inside, the outside matters, as well.
It's the first thing a potential buyer sees when they pull up to your home - the outside. What you have where influences if they'll like your home or not.
"Exterior home staging is a new phenomenon we are seeing on Angie's List, where companies will actually come out and be able to help you paint your house in the best light," said Angie Hicks of Angie's List. "Whether it's roof cleaning, help thinning out some landscaping, (or) just really improving the curb appeal of your home."
There are six improvements you can do to help your home's curb appeal. First, start with a clean house. Get out the power washer and remove that dirt, grime and moss. Next, revamp your yard, add those pretty flowers. Your garage door might need to be replaced. The home may also need a fresh coat of paint. Take a look at the details, house numbers need to be up and shiny. Finally, it's all about the front door.
"So, you want your front door to look good. In the case of this home, they have completely replaced their door and so it looks really, really good. But, at least paint your front door and make sure it matches up with your trim color, brick color, or whatever your exterior is," said real estate agent Mike Puckett, Sycamore Group Realtors.
First impressions are everything and that's no different for our homes. Having a great curb appeal will add value to your house, whether it is on the market or if you plan call this place home forever.
The experts at Angie's List say that flowers and gardening changes can always make a difference for a home. Even the mulch that you use can help balance the home's exterior image.

Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Taxpayer asks: Last year I donated a painting that I created to our local church. I sold a similar painting through a gallery around the same time for $1000. Can I skip an appraisal and just use that the value for my charitable deduction on my tax return?
Taxgirl says: Around this time of year, I get a lot of these kinds of questions. And about now is where I expect I'll lose my audience… But don't shoot the messenger! I'm just relaying the answers, I didn't write the legislation (if you want to complain, by the way, don't blame IRS, blame your Congressional officials).
At any rate, your question reminds me of a bar exam question because there's at least three issues (bet you had no idea).
One, if you're donating non-cash property with a value over $500, you have to provide a written acknowledgment from the charitable organization stating the description of the property and whether the qualified organization gave you any goods or services as a result of your contribution. You also have to report to the IRS how you got the property (did you buy it, inherit it, etc?), the date that you got the property and the cost or basis of the property. And since it's art, you should provide an appraisal – so don't skip it!
Two, if you're donating property that's not related to the charity's "exempt purpose" which may be the case here, your donation may be limited. What I mean by that is that a donation of a CAT scan machine to a hospital is a pretty sure bet that the hospital will use the machine to accomplish its charitable purpose (making folks better). But if you donate that same machine to a soup kitchen, not so much. So, the IRS limits the deduction that you can take for donating tangible property to a charitable organization when the property is not used for an exempt purpose.
And finally, your problems are bigger than issues one or two anyway because you said that you created the painting. In that case, special rules apply (and this is where things get ugly). Your deduction for that painting is limited to the cost of producing the painting excluding your services. In other words, you can't use the FMV, you must use your materials cost. Even if your painting retailed for $1000, your deduction is limited to the cost of the canvas, paints and frame.
I speak a lot to artists and every time this comes up, artists feel singled out. Not that it likely helps to know, but you're really not being singled out. The IRS views all services this way for purposes of a charitable deduction. Here's an example: I just wrapped up a case last year that I did pro bono through the Senior Law Project. It went on for three years. I had well over $25,000 of my fees tied up in that case – and that meant time and fees not expended on other clients (lost income, right?). What was my deduction for that effort? The cost of postage and paper. Those were my hard costs. According to IRS, that's my deduction. But I got the warm fuzzies in return, right?
The rules which relate to charitable donations of items other than cold hard cash can be complicated. If your situation is out of the ordinary and you're not sure how to report your donation, check with your tax professional.

It's Mangu time
Dominican-born Jose "Mangu" Peralta, 9-1, 5 KOs, makes his fourth appearance at Newark's Prudential Center on September 8th, when he takes on Staunton, VA's Christian Steele, 3-4, 1 KO, in a 6-round junior welterweight bout. The fight is part of a stacked undercard on a big boxing show that features a heavyweight triple header at the top of the bill. The afternoon boxing event includes Tomasz "Goral" Adamek in a defense of his IBF North American Heavyweight belt against Travis "Freight Train" Walker as the main event.
Like many young fighters on the way up, Peralta doesn't spend too much time thinking about his opponent. "I don't know about him, but I don't really worry about it," Peralta said. "I'm ready to fight any fighter. I'm in the gym every day. I'm ready. I'm ready for everything he has."
Peralta's job is to prepare himself and deliver in the ring. He has built a loyal, local fan following since he came to the tri-state area. Having lived in his car when he first arrived in NJ, Peralta is grateful for the opportunities he has been given to succeed in the boxing world. His desire is to always give his fans a good show as well as a win each time he gets in the ring.
"I know I'm a good fighter," he said. "I come to fight and that's what the people want to see. The people come to see a fight, and that's what I give to them."
Peralta's exciting style is the reason that he has begun to build a fan base along the East Coast, where most of his fights have taken place. "I don't come to move around," he said. "I come to fight."
Peralta hasn't lost in almost four years, and looks to push his win tally into the double digits against Steele. Mangu looked sharp his last time out with a fourth round TKO of Dontre King in June.
"For each fight, I train harder, and harder, and harder," Peralta said. "I have no limit. I'm thinking big. I want to be the best at 140."
Although Steel will look to upset the odds in the fight, Peralta is confident that he is coming into his own as a fighter.
"I'm ready to fight him, and I'm ready to fight anybody," he said. "I want to give myself what I deserve. It's my time. It's Mangu time."
The September 8th Adamek-Walker event is available live at WealthTV.com. WealthTV is available on Verizon FiOS TV (channels 169 and 669 in HD), AT&T U-Verse TV (channels 470 and 1470 in HD), along with over 100 cable systems across the country. Click here for more information.

And those traffic alerts aren't 100 per cent reliable either. To test it, I chose several routes that passed through traffic hit routes (according to the BBC travel website), and though some big incidents were flagged, more often than not I was informed there were no problems on my chosen route.
Again, there's a problem with flexibility here. Though Navigator 3 will route you around traffic problems automatically if it thinks it can find a faster route, what it doesn't do is give you the choice to force it to calculate an alternative. Sometimes the machine doesn't always know better and it's frustrating not being able to tell it so.
And there's one final thing that may put you off, if all this doesn't – the price, or rather price plan as I should put it. With Navigator 3 you don't simply pay once and own the product. You have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. And at £50 a year for the UK and Ireland product (or £4.99 per month), or £69.99 per year for the Europe, USA and Canada (or £5.99 per month) it's going to get expensive after more than three years (and these are promotion prices too). The positive side to this is that the contract is a rolling one – so if you're only likely to need to use it occasionally, it could save a lot of money.
Furthermore, you can opt for a complete package, which includes a lifetime Europe subscription, the necessary Bluetooth GPS receiver and a windshield mount, but that will set you back just under £270 and of course you'll still have to pay your provider's roaming data costs.
On the face of it, Telmap's Navigator 3 is a decent product and a competent navigation system. Routing is highly accurate, directions effective and spoken instructions clear and timely. It has a very impressive search facility and POI database, and traffic information comes as standard.
But I'm afraid it has just too many holes when it comes to essential features to be able to compare favourably with a stand alone system from the likes of TomTom, Garmin or Mio. And that monthly price plan won't be for everyone either.

Is Red Hat Storage The Future Of Software Storage?
Posted by Henry Baltazar on May 5, 2014
With last week's $175M acquisition of storage startup Inktank, the initial developer of the Open Source Ceph storage platform, Red Hat has added another piece to its growing storage portfolio. With large storage players fleshing out their software storage offerings including EMC (ScaleIO, Project Nile), NetApp, HP, and IBM, it's clear that the transition from hardware-centric storage appliances to software storage is underway — and it won't be long before we are at a point where your next array should be an app running on commodity hardware.
Though large storage players have successfully fended off software challengers such as Symantec before, it is telling that nearly all of the major players are developing and marketing their own software storage products, including EMC's ScaleIO. The drive toward software storage is clearly gaining momentum, and this time around the storage leaders are active participants in addition to startups such as Nexenta Systems and the Open Source projects.
While Red Hat is not a major storage player today, there are a few reasons why this company could become disruptive as the market transitions to software storage:
- No legacy business to lose. This is probably the most powerful attribute that makes Red Hat dangerous relative to existing storage players. While Red Hat's market share (in terms of storage revenue and paying customers) is nowhere near the likes of leaders such as NetApp and EMC, its lack of legacy business will allow Red Hat to attack the NAS, object, and block storage market without the sacrifice of losing high-margin storage appliance sales.
- Acceptable storage overlap. At this stage in the game there is no clear software storage winner. Object storage is still a developing market, with Ceph, Swift, Cleversafe, Amplidata, Scality, Data Direct Networks, Caringo, and number of other players fighting for market share. So far, the market for block storage for cloud environments such as OpenStack is also wide open, with Ceph gaining some early market share and competing with the established storage players and startups such as SolidFire. Though the communities for Ceph and Gluster both have the shared goal of developing unified storage platforms for cloud environments and have overlapping functionalities, Red Hat has a better chance of gaining market share by offering customers choices, instead of stifling the innovation of either community.
Large opportunity for unstructured data. Though structured data for databases and other apps continues to be a key market, unstructured data growth is a key problem that organizations must address. Red Hat Storage (Gluster) and Ceph both have scale out architectures which can deal with rapid unstructured data growth, while keeping maintenance costs reasonable.
Server and storage convergence. Red Hat's existing operating system, virtualization, and cloud enablement products will be integrated with Red Hat Storage and Ceph to simplify management. Forrsights surveys have consistently shown that IT professionals have a strong desire for unified virtualization and storage management, to accelerate resource provisioning and to quickly identify and remediate storage and/or server issues.
Though we do not expect storage appliances to go away anytime soon, the transition to storage software running on commodity hardware is picking up steam. Now is a good time to begin assessing these offerings to see where they could fit in your current enterprise and cloud infrastructures.
In my opinion this may not be
Comment from Aakash Kumar (not verified) on Wed, 05/07/2014 - 02:25
In my opinion this may not be true and globally accepted as the Red Hat Storage is the whole sole for Software Storage in the future

It's compatible with all Google Cardboard content as well as 360° photos and videos captured by the LG 360 CAM. An internal display produces a pixel density of 639 ppi, more than found on the G5 itself.
The LG 360 VR folds like a traditional pair of glasses, this enables you to slip them into your handbag or backpack for transport. In contrast to other VR systems on the market, the 360 VR doesn't require you to place your smartphone into the headset: Simply use the dedicated USB Type-C cable to plug it into your G5.

Two HOTs To Handle: The Concept of State Consciousness in the Higher-Order Thought Theory of Consciousness
Document Type:Article
Article Type:Theoretical
Topics:Theory of Consciousness
Keywords:Consciousness, Higher-Order-Thought, Representation, Mental State, Type/Token Distinction, Mental Causation, Intentionality
Deposited by:J Matey
Date of Issue:2004

Abstract:David Rosenthal's Higher-Order Thought (HOT) hypothesis is one of the most widely argued for of the higher-order accounts of consciousness. In this paper, I address an inconsistency in that theory of consciousness. Rosenthal's argument, I argue, vacillates between two independent models of the HOT theory. I suggest that two different concepts of state consciousness might lie at the heart of these two models; while both concepts refer to token target states, the two concepts refer to those states in virtue of different properties. In the first section of this paper, I review the two models. In subsequent sections, I examine the models more closely. Philosophers ought to invoke the principle of charity when reading critically. This means that where several models of a theory are put forth, philosophers should aim to assess the strongest among them. I argue that the second model is preferable to the first for several reasons. One reason is that the concept of state consciousness in that model fits better with the commonsense notion of intransitive consciousness. All else being equal, a theory that uses terms in a way that fits with our concepts should be preferred. But ultimately this second model is also problematic. I highlight those problems and suggest that they might be averted by modifying a core feature of the HOT theory, the Transitivity Principle. In the second half of this paper I develop a modified version of the Transitivity Principle. I hypothesize that Rosenthal occasionally employs this modified model himself. This slip may make sense of some problematic aspects of his theory. I also suggest that the inconsistency identified in the first section of this paper might actually reflect these two versions of the Transitivity Principle. One version gives us a token target state centered concept of state consciousness, and the other, which discusses only mental state types, doesn't give us a theory of state consciousness at all. I offer one explanation for how this equivocation might have occurred. These two versions would result if articulations of the Transitivity Principle employed the term 'mental state' inconsistently, to refer on some occasions to mental state types and on others to refer to mental state tokens. I conclude by arguing, contrary to Rosenthal and others, that the theory is not incompatible with view that conscious states are uniquely causally efficacious.

Mathematica problem
Hello to everybody, i\m desperatly trying to solve the following equation using mathematica but i can't can you propose me any solution???
The problem is:
Use it to find the zero of f (x) = sin (2Ï? x) â?? 7x + 7 , stopping
when the difference between two successive guesses is less than 0.1 (That
is, 0 1 x â?? x < 0.1) Run your program using initial guesses a) 0 x = 0 , b)
0 x =1, c) 0 x = 2 and d) 0 x = 3.
We have to use the Newton-Raphson model.
I know the model but i can't program it in mathematica.
Could you please help me???

Sportsman Cap & Bag to Expand Warehouse
Last year, Sportsman Cap & Bag added bags to its lineup of promotional products. This year, the company is adding square footage to its Shawnee, Kansas-based warehouse.
With more space and an expanded loading dock, the company will have more inventory on site and ready for shipment. Sportsman Cap & Bag president Dan Saferstein said the expansion is being driven by the success of the bag business. After 75 years in the headwear industry, Sportsman Cap & Bag added 13 brands of duffles, totes and backpacks in 2012.
"When we launched the bags, we knew we'd need to adjust," Saferstein said. "With the success we're having, that adjustment is coming a little earlier than we expected, but it is a good problem to have."
As part of the project, Sportsman Cap & Bag is converting to new T5 eco-friendly lighting throughout the facility.
Saferstein said the new space will help the company fulfill its mission of providing customers with the widest selection of the highest-quality products. It also helps the company stick to its promise of same-day shipping on orders received before 3 p.m. Central Time, and pick up orders ready in two hours. It further ensures that Sportsman Cap & Bag remains a fixture in the Kansas City area for years to come.
"My grandfather started the company here because Kansas City was his home. But Kansas City happens to be perfectly located for a company that ships throughout the United States," Saferstein said. "We have all the ingredients for continued success. It's going to be a lot of work, but it's an exciting time."

Tunisian struggle with new freedom hits silver screen
By Raissa Kasolowsky
ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Although Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was toppled nearly two years ago, Tunisia's fight for freedom has only just begun, acclaimed Tunisian filmmaker Nouri Bouzid says in his latest film.
In "Hidden Beauties", Bouzid uses the Islamic veil to symbolise the struggle facing Tunisians now negotiating issues of religion, freedom and identity in the vacuum left in the aftermath of an uprising that ousted Ben Ali after 23 years running a model police state.
Bouzid's central characters are two young women, Aisha, who is veiled but struggling with her need for freedom and her desire for a young man, and her free-spirited friend Zainab, who is fighting a family that wants her to wear a veil and get married.
The film, part family drama, part love story, depicts the deep personal conflicts the revolution has brought to individuals, who, in the new-found freedom that they craved, are having to face up to the contradictions that were weighing on society and on them.
"You need something concrete in cinema, and the hijab is a good incarnation of this precarious freedom and the struggle for it," Bouzid told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Film Festival.
Bouzid, who previously spent time in prison for his political views, studied film in Brussels. His first feature, "Man of Ashes" in 1986 won the Un Certain Regard critics prize at the Cannes Film Festival. His other titles include "Bezness" (1992), "Clay Dolls" (2002) and "Making Of" (2006).
The role of Islam in government and society has emerged as the most divisive issue in Tunisia in the wake of Ben Ali's departure, which sparked revolts that brought changes of government in Libya, Egypt and Yemen.
The Islamist-led government that won elections in October is treading a fine line between conservatives who see the revolution as a chance to express a religious identity suppressed by Ben Ali and secularists who want to broaden freedom of expression. Continued...


text: HomeOpinionKansas house bill 2453 hits the mark tmnstaff February 18, 2014 Opinion 2 Comments -Wayne Lela Those opposed to House Bill 2453, which aims at keeping individuals, groups and businesses in Kansas from being compelled to help with same-sex weddings, evidently haven't learned from the past. In a way, weren't we here a couple thousand years ago??? The ancient and primitive Greeks and Romans crassly valued homosexual relations. But eventually the people wised up and realized that was a mistake (e.g., Plato condemned homosexual activity), and homosexual activity was again logically deemed unethical and was basically driven underground. Now, misguided "progressives" are trying to take us back thousands of years to more primitive and decadent times, despite the fact that thinking people have known for centuries that homosexual activity is immoral and a bad legal precedent. (It's easy to show that all the arguments homosexuals use to try to rationalize homosexual activity are seriously flawed.) It may surprise you that some colleges like Harvard now have officially recognized student groups devoted to promoting the acceptance of BDSM—sexually deviant bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism. That's right. If you are a student who gets turned on by smacking people around, some colleges like Harvard now have groups for you! Bizarre. (Are Neanderthals running that school?) He who has eyes to see, let them see. The "logic" of heterophobic homosexuals is rapidly leading this society down a slippery slope to a more and more aberrant, disordered, and irrational society. Polygamy is coming soon. Maybe down the line we'll see "marriage" between straight and homosexual consenting-adult incestuous people! Whoopee! Anyone who thinks this is progress is deluding him/herself. Rome didn't fall in a day. But it did fall. Let's not join the race to the bottom.

Assuming that the move away from the public acceptability of homosexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome was the result an evolution in human mental cognition completely misrepresents the the impact that the dark ages had on western culture. A brief history lesson reveals that much of the social reforms that took place during this era, many of which stunted growth (in all aspects of society), were largely championed by the Catholic Church. We have always feared change and the social progress our country is making has made many nervous. Religion has served as a bed rock by which people can indoctrinate their own personal fears and feel justified. Someone's personal attractions shouldn't be governed by the religious beliefs of others. All Americans are entitled to their own spiritual beliefs. That right can only be protected when all faiths are protected, by enshrining one faith as superior to another we undermine the whole basis of our rights and in the end we open ourselves up to being ruled by the faith of the majority, which may not always be our own. Reply Chuck Anziulewicz February 19, 2014 All the bakeries and photographers and caterers that people think are being so horribly put-upon? They aren't in the business of providing spiritual guidance or enforcing moral doctrines. They are there to turn a profit. As such, they are obligated to abide by prevailing civil rights laws, whether those laws protect people from discrimination based on race, religion, or sexual orientation. Should a restaurant owner be able to refuse service to Blacks because he has "moral objections" to race-mixing? Should an employer be able to fire a Muslim employee because he wants to run "a nice Christian workplace"? If they answer to both question is NO, what justification is there refusing service to a Gay couple who wish to get a wedding cake or celebrate their anniversary in a restaurant? Reply Sound Off!

Accidents Bring Calls to Suspend Shale Drilling
In reaction to a well blowout near Penfield, Penn., the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ordered EOG Resources Inc. to suspend all new drilling operations in the state for seven days until an independent investigation of the incident is performed. EOG was also ordered to suspend fracking activities for 14 days and post-fracking operations for 30 days throughout the state.
The incident involved a natural gas well in which EOG's operators lost control after cracking the Marcellus Formation a mile underground to release the gas. The well's blowout preventer failed to act, and high pressure forced the gas and frack fluid containing toxic chemicals out of the well. (Fracking is a process whereby water, sand and chemicals are blasted underground to shatter tightly compacted shale to release trapped natural gas deposits.) As much as 1 million gallons was sprayed into the air for 16 hours.
In a related incident, a drilling rig explosion at a Marcellus shale natural gas drilling operation in West Virginia that burned and injured seven drilling workers has led to calls for increased federal regulations and even a moratorium on drilling. Advocates including Rep. Joe Seatak are arguing for more stringent controls and have labelled the incidents public health hazards, especially in areas where drilling occurs near population centers and water supplies.
Opponents of increased regulations have pointed out that these incidents were the first to have occurred in the Marcellus Formation and that such accidents are extremely rare. They also maintain that existing regulations are adequate and only need to be enforced. Furthermore, a drilling moratorium would only drive up prices and harm property owners who reap the benefits from leasing gas drilling rights.
The Pennsylvania drillers might have been exposed to the toxic chemicals from the frack fluid. Although they may not have experienced the burns or other visible injuries that the West Virginia drilling workers suffered, any symptoms from exposure to toxic chemicals may not manifest themselves for years. These workers and others who are exposed to fracking should carefully monitor their health and document any unusual symptoms that may arise, as injuries related to shale drilling could give rise to personal injury and
workers' compensation claims.
The lessons from asbestos exposure and the years of litigation that ensued should serve as a reminder to workers in hazardous occupations to take all measures to preserve their health and their rights.

The most extreme feat of drinking! 100 straight hours of drinking as much as you can without any sleep. You are not allowed to use any drugs. Only weed, spice, caffeine, and tobacco products are allowed as drugs. You must have accomplished this while in a drinking competition with someone so there are viable sources such as those who were competing against you to join. There is a real group on facebook but you must get a verification from someone who has already joined!
Dude Johnny just hit 100 freaking hours of drinking non-stop. OHHH SHIITTTTE! He just hit the 100 Hour Club! Tell him to join the face book group!

Socrates : "Knowledge is knowing that we know nothing".
okay now i have a headache
In God we trust, Everyone else we monitor...
It sure gets me to thinking since I travel so much, and often times yes, with my family. Hotel security, at even the finest of places, certainly isn't the best.
JMO. The call would have been demanding either the guset in the next room were told to leave, or provide me with another room. People continuing to try my room door. I'm out of there and demanding a refund on my room accomodations. So I would not have had to worry about someone forcing their way into my room. You broke several prime rules as I see it.
1. You opened the door to someone you did not know.
2. You put yourself between individuals who forced their way in and the open door, they might have been decoys to distract you.
3. You are facing 2 armed assailants (they made the claim of being armed also) and allowed them to reach into their pockets.
4. You fired warning shot.
If you draw your weapon, and the assailant does not follow your directions and makes aggressive moves. You defend yourself. Shot fired center mass is justified and reasonable response to their actions.
Archer... so you're saying "better tried by 12 than carried by six?" :-)
Okay... another thing to add to this complicated scenario as well... some say on here, pack up and get out of dodge. That's fine - but what if you've been staying at this place for almost 3 weeks now, computers, company electronics and attractive equipment (for those who would like an easy theft) - you have probably an hour's worth of packing to do, if even to switch rooms, it's AM in the morning, dark parking lot, not to mention all of the people outside, in this next room, etc. etc. - would you be safer IN your room or loading up two luggage cart's worth of stuff and having your family outside?
You're absolutely right..... if EVER in doubt, CALL 911 !!!!!
I certainly acknowlege that! Don't disagree with anyone on here 'bout that one.
And one more thing to consider, and keep in mind... all of these things are running through one's mind as this scenario unfolds in seconds. Easier to be a Monday-Morning QB, but anyway... family is traveling with you. So you shoot, you kill or wound, YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL !!! Correct? You sit in jail while LE investigates, you await trial to explain self-defense... you're from the Midwest and you're staying out on the West Coast. What does your family do then? Where do they go? Just things to consider.
Unlike some, I personally wouldn't be in a situation to post thousands on bond, hire a self-defense attorney, all that jazz over something that I was hoping to just get people to get the heck away from our door.
Any way you look at it, though, I do appreciate all the comments. It's an excellent learning tool, and good advice from good people !!!
Yes, if someone breaks into my room, makes aggressive moves and state they have a weapon themselves. That is definite justification for self defense. Remember you have witness' to back your story. Are you willing to let them draw, possible getting shot yourself, or even worse a family member being shot? Not an option I am prepared to take.
1) Never unpack to the degree that it takes you more than 15 minutes to bug out. I travel cross country as well, and have found this both possible and convenient. I suspect the ladies in the house will be amenable to the suggestion now, as well.
2) Within limited context, a motel room is your domecile. It would be entirely appropriate to ask the manager to leave and to escort the others away from your door. You, in turn, may holster your sidearm, and await officers who are a bit more calm. Walking through a milling, testy crowd makes them antsy when they don't know who has the gun.
3) I jam the door with a chair or table (or even the bed I'm sleeping in) when I 'm in a motel. Probably doesn't sound too paranoid now, does it?
I'm not going to waste a bunch of time with a list of the things I think you might have done wrong because I hope that if this is more than a hypothetical situation, you should have the mods delete this thread. I would suggest that you read this thread (very long, but an eyeopener) found elsewhere on this forum. Pay close attention to the last paragraph of post #2 because in your "hypothetical" situation, you not only have to concern yourself with the police but with civil action. It is entirely possible that your warning shots could have caused severe and permanent trauma to the poor individuals who were just confused about which room they were supposed to be at and who you fired upon with no warning and no justifiable cause (that IS the way they would play it out in court). In the post I suggested you read, no one deserved to be shot more than the BG in that scenario but it didn't prevent him from suing for his injuries. I STRONGLY suggest you consider having this post pulled.

Why would the mods delete the thread? No need to. In the hypothetical the warning shots were fired into a grassy area, and bullets were recovered there by police, thereby proving they hit no one. Sure the shots could have caused severe and permanent trauma to the individuals who were not in the grassy area. The scenario made it very clear that the individuals at his door were not mistaken re the room and were saying they had firearms and he (shooter) was basically a dead man. They reached into their pockets saying they had guns. They were little savages. So they are not innocent little motel lambs. And it would not be played out in court like that.
The little lambs would be prosecuted for assault and other charges.
Keep in mind that police are not shy about arresting perpetrators on the scene. They told him he was basically all set. So not arresting him and the comments they made? Not a problem. He will be all set, as he should be. Police would have locked him up faster n you could say my name is Hoss.
Sure there are things he could have done differently but how did the hypothetical scenario end up?
Pulling it means we are afraid, to talk, to run things by each other.
This is the fear that has made our world what it is today.
And court? These little savages will not go to court. They are too stoned to even go to their own houses, let alone court. They would probably be picked up on warrants. The scenario says they were high. So, what kind of witnesses would they make? I myself would love nothing more than to cross-examine them. With the kind of stuff they pulled? Go to court? I highly doubt it. They are the ones who INITIATED THE SCENARIO. We have got to start knowing right from wrong in this country, people. But as our drill instructors told us at Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, there is always that 10% :)

Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right.
Socrates : "Knowledge is knowing that we know nothing".
I've done too much traveling in my life (company biz) and have to many nights in good and some bad hotels. I think I would have done a few things differently. First, the front desk gets ONE chance to correct a situation as you described. After that, 911 gets the call. Second, I would NOT have opened the door at all. You did right in advising the other party they had the wrong room. After that, if they break in, it's AMF (and I'm not talking about the bowling people!). Third, they get NO warning shots. If the situation calls for deadly force to stop the threat, warning shots fall short of that objective and does nothing but get you into trouble and buy the BG's time to enact their scenario.

I'll jump in on this one since I have encoutered similar situations. I spent just shy of 40 weeks in extended stay type hotels in 2007 alone. I wish I could count on just one hand the number of times I have had people try to open my door. Anytime I am in the room, even if only for a few minutes, the safety latch is on. Usually (especially if it occurs at night) I am at the door in a couple of seconds with my Glock 22 in hand. I raise it to low ready while checking the peep-hole, and yell to them through the door that they have the wrong room. So far, that has been sufficient. I have often played through the scenario in case, God forbid, one day it doesn't work. I can say this with conviction, however, that every scenario I've played out in no way, shape, or form, include firing a warning shot. Dialing 911 and/or calling down to the front desk are dependant on the actions of those on the other side of the door and how well the door holds. If the door is breached, it is on like Donkey Kong.
And as far as ending up in court, what you and I may know is wrong with the world and what's right and wrong won't prevent you from ending up in court at which time anything written is going to make it hard to avoid sticking one's foot in the fire. If you haven't done so, read the thread I referenced in my previous post. If that doesn't prove that even when we are right we can still face consequences, I don't know what will. The person in that story who ended up shooting the BG was fortunate that he was an employee on company time and his employer's insurance paid out the claim. If he were just an individual acting on his own, while a civil court may very well rule in his favor, it doesn't eliminate the fact that he would still be out a sizable sum of money presenting his defense. I won't debate the things the OP did right or wrong in his "hypothetical" but because of the possibility of civil litigation, I will reiterate my thought that he should have this thread deleted. If this story is just a "daydream", then please just say so and I'll get off of my soapbox. But if not, I think the OP should be concerned about possible consequences.

If that is all you're saying, then I know what you mean exactly. But as long as it is a hypothetical, it seems okay to keep it. Actually, he should go back and get ride of anything that makes it seems like it is not a hypothetical because you're right, it seems hypothetical but some language makes one wonder. I think you are right on target about possible consequences and previous posts including mine told him to either make it all hypothetical so it is clearly so or delete it.
So hopefully he can make it so it is more clearly hypothetical if that what it truly is.

How to prepare for the second annual Smallest Penis in Brooklyn competition
Mon Apr 14 2014
Photograph: Constance & Eric
July 2013 saw the arrival of the first annual Smallest Penis in Brooklyn contest. Last week, organizers announced that the event will return to Kings County Bar on June 14. Forget beach-body prep—Time Out has a few suggestions for would-be contestants on how to shrink down that dinky dong before the big (little) battle.
Splash cold water x 2
Sure, everybody knows about cold-water baths, but may we suggest lining the bottom of your tub with pictures of your mother or the Pope (sans phallic hat)? Your little dude will try to find a way to crawl back inside you!*
Think small!
Sure, our overachieving world keeps telling you the opposite. But that's small-minded! How can you be wee if you don't think wee? How can you be punier than the other itty-bitty guys if you don't think teeny-tiny thoughts? Imagine your snail as a snail's shell—an ever-diminishing whorl, a receding fractal. If you can dream it, you can achieve it.*
FTF = Fire That Fluffer
Srsly. No effing around—you need to prepare. Don't let your fluffer give you some sob story about "feeding the kids"; there's always some other whining wang out there in need of preperformance prep. Plus: Fluffers actually make ol' Johnson permanently gain length—each month of fluffing adds one millimeter of growth.*
Get tight and white
As they say, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." Get a dozen pairs of briefs two sizes too small. As House of Pain probably said, "Pack it up, pack it in, strap it to your skin." After one month of excruciating discomfort, you'll be down an inch; after two, many report penile invisibility.*
Eat raisins, prunes and other shriveled things
"You are what you eat": more good advice. For the next few months, think of yourself as a tiny temple in which Lilliputian priests make minuscule sacrifices to microscopic gods. Eat all that withers and deflates, and your willy will wrinkle alongside it.* (Plus, it'll keep you regular.**)
*Scientific proof pending.
** Science is pretty sure about this one.
