Fake Soldier Confession
Video Runs As Cover For Real Slaughter
A widely circulated video in which an army ranger confessed to the brutal indiscriminate murder of Iraqi civilians and its vehement debunking as a hoax has acted as a smokescreen for the very real admission and evidence of US war crimes in Iraq.
Working in this field for five years and scanning news on a day to day basis you quickly develop and hone a bullshit detector that can spot hoaxes, psy-ops and frauds from a mile off. As soon as the MacBeth Marine video hit the Internet I smelt a very large rat.
The alternative media community is plagued by deliberate disinformation specialists and gullible individuals who will act as unwitting conduits for bogus information. This minefield of deception breeds confusion, distraction and lowers the credibility of the truth community.
In the video, MacBeth claims that he was part of a unit that regularly killed innocent Iraqis, their wives and children if they didn't explicitly follow orders.
Proof that the video is a hoax is legion. MacBeth's uniform is totally inconsistent with that of a US army ranger and his claimed medals are not verified by any official record. Army spokesman John Boyce said there was no record of MacBeth ever serving.
"Initial research by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg shows no Soldier with the name of Jesse Macbeth having ever been assigned to the Special Forces or the Army Rangers -- which are, in fact, two separate disciplines."
At its height, the fake video confession was the number 2 clicked news item across the entire Internet.
The video has eclipsed the real evidence of US war crimes in Iraq. The BBC video above carries bona fide testimony from US soldiers who served in Iraq and were party to killing civilians. To emphasize, this video carries accurate, unimpeachable, and legitimate testimony regarding US war crimes in Iraq.
In addition, charges are expected to be brought against Marines after an investigation into the killing of 24 unarmed civilians in the Iraqi town of Haditha in November. Congressman John Murtha said that the slaughter and its subsequent cover-up could do more to harm the US reputation in Iraq than the Abu Ghraib scandal. To emphasize, this event carries accurate, unimpeachable, and legitimate evidence of US war crimes in Iraq.
The hoax video has allowed Neo-Con media government boot-lickers to discredit all claims of US atrocities in Iraq, despite the fact that the army has admitted to them and charges are pending. This is an exercise in bait and switch and it softens the backlash of opinion against the coalition of the killing when true and verified examples of war crimes are brought to the fore. It dilutes the reaction to a growing body of hardcore evidence of ceaseless atrocities committed against innocent Iraqis.
Fox News wasted no time in exploiting the hoax to whitewash the real issue of war crimes and civilian murders in Iraq. Michelle Malkin (who advocates bringing back internment camps for Muslims) also cited the video as an example of anti-war propaganda and used it to dismiss genuine US-led slaughter in Iraq.
Watch below as fawning Neo-Con Malkin revels in debunking "peace propaganda" by comparing MacBeth's words to John Kerry's Vietnam testimony. This is also the only remaining record of the MacBeth video as all other postings of it have been removed.
News Hounds hit the nail on the head in assessing the consequences of this hoax.
"This segment serves a two-fold purpose. It plants in viewers heads the seed of doubt about stories of atrocities and murder of civilians, just as the Haditha story seems poised to break and expose exactly the kind of behavior dismissed here. For many of FOX's true believers, the Haditha story will be a conspiracy of the liberal media to hurt Bush because they hate him, and this discredited story will bolster their position of denial."
Fox were able to spin the hoax video and offer it as evidence of their ridiculous claim that the turmoil in Iraq is a US media creation and that we really are there to liberate everyone.
In considering the timing of the hoax confession tape it is pertinent to recall a similar instance of bait and switch which occurred at the beginning of the Abu Ghraib scandal.
Two days after the Abu Ghraib torture photos were released, the Internet was flooded with fake rape photos taken from porn websites. So when the actual military report stated that rape did take place at Abu Ghraib, the Neo-Con media junta could discredit and deny it. The Boston Globe inexplicably published these photos days after they were known to be a hoax and then staged-managed an apology, which garnered great attention. Printing the photos and then apologizing was a theatrical set-up to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of the body politic for future release of new photos and allegations.
In addition, staged photos of British soldiers urinating on and beating Iraqis were leaked to the Mirror newspaper in Britain. Despite numerous military eyewitnesses coming forward to say that beatings had taken place, the circus revolved around these few photos which were admitted hoaxes. The public was left with the impression that stories about British troops mistreating Iraqis were fraudulent, even though other cases of abuse had been admitted.
Though the news cycle moves far too quickly to immediately identify a story as a hoax, we should remain guarded in precisely what items we choose to inflate and circulate to a wider audience. Otherwise we're nearly as bad as the White House itself, which produces fake government PR and packages it as 'news' for the indoctrination of a bewildered US television audience.
But you won't see Fox News or Michelle Malkin kick up any fuss about that.

Mailing Lists
"If it hasn't happened in an email list, it hasn't happened," -- Open Source axiom
Mailing Lists are the lifeblood of the Xen Project. If you intend to actively participate in the development of the Xen Project, you will need to become familiar with the mailing lists and the mailing list etiquette:
- Please post in plain text (i.e. not HTML), word-wrapped to somewhere around 72 characters.
- Please don't top-post.
- Please start a new thread for a new bug (don't just reply to a random email from the list).
- Please don't email bugs directly to Xen Project developers. Keep the conversation on the list where other people (and search engines) can see it.
- When you reply to a mail, ensure that you reply to the list and all author(s). Not all posters to the list may be subscribed to the list.
What About XenServer Questions?
Many people are confused about the relationship between Xen Project and XenServer. XenServer is a distribution of Xen Project the same way that Ubuntu or SUSE are distributions of Linux. You might go to a Linux kernel mailing list to talk about kernel bugs in your distribution, but the bulk of your issues are probably best handled by asking questions of the distribution itself. This is true with XenServer as well, so for most XenServer-related issues, you will do best by starting with one of the XenServer support channels described at XenServer.org. The people in that community understand the context of their distribution very well and can most likely guide you to a resolution.
Search all Xen Project mailing lists using MarkMail (not secure):
Mailing List Usage
Xen Project mailing lists have a web as well as an e-mail interface.
- Send an e-mail command to email@example.com (mylist may for example be xen-announce ) with one of the following commands in the subject line. Common commands are help, subscribe and unsubscribe. Alternatively, you can use the Subscribe buttons below.
- Go to https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/mylist (mylist may for example be xen-announce) and use the web interface to subscribe, unsubscribe or log into the list management interface.
- Note that you can send to a Xen Project mailing list, without being subscribed to it. But your post will be moderated.
- If you have problems, please send an e-mail to community dot manager at xenproject dot org.

Biodiesel MachineryBiodiesel Machinery is an alternative to diesel fuel consisting of fatty acid alkyl monoesters from vegetable oils or tallow.Operation
1.Physical refining: the first hydration of oil or phosphoric acid to remove the phospholipids, glial and other substances). And then the oil preheat, dehydration, degassing into the deacidification tower, to maintain residual pressure, access to excess steam, the steam temperature, the free acid and steam co-steamed, condensed precipitation, remove free fatty acids other than the net loss, In the free acid can be reduced to very low, the pigment can be broken down, so that the color lighter. All kinds of waste vegetable oil in the independent research and development under the action of DYD catalyst, the use of esterification, alcoholysis at the same time the reaction process to produce crude fatty acid methyl ester.
2.Methanol pre-esterification: First, the oil hydration degumming, with a centrifuge to remove phospholipids and gums and other hydration formed when the floc, and then dehydration of oil. The raw oil is added with excess methanol and is pre-esterified in the presence of an acidic catalyst to convert the free acid to methyl ester. The methanol water was distilled off, and after fractionation, no free acid was separated from C12-16 methyl palmitate and C18 methyl oleate.
3.Ester exchange reaction: Pre-treated fat and methanol together with a small amount of NaOH as a catalyst, at a certain temperature and atmospheric pressure transesterification reaction, which can produce methyl ester, the use of two-step reaction, through a specially designed separator continuous To remove the glycerol produced in the initial reaction, and the transesterification reaction is continued.
4.Gravity sedimentation, washing and delamination.
5.Separation of glycerol and the availability of crude methyl esters.

Once I started putting them together, I had a hard time stopping. They were fun and quick so I could have easily ended up with a whole flock of these in my craft room.
Each bird has a small clothespin glued to the back so they can serve a purpose in addition to looking cute. I sent them all attached to a piece of twine thinking it could be hung and used for displaying notes or children's art or perhaps Christmas cards this time of year!
I didn't take in-progress pictures as I was making these little guys but I've written out materials and instructions below in case anyone is in need of some feathered friends.
- Small fabric scraps
- Small scraps of batting
- Craft felt
- Craft wire
- Embroidery floss + needle
- Clothespin
- Glue
- Sewing machine + thread
- Draw a simple birdie shaped pattern onto a piece of paper and use it to cut your fabric scraps and batting. Reverse the pattern and use it to cut the fabric for the back sides of the birds.
- Layer your cut fabric so it's back side + batting + front side.
- If making a profile of a bird, cut your felt into a small triangle and place it in between your layers.
- Use your sewing machine to sew around the outside of your bird a couple of times. You can tell from mine that perfection is not important at this step.
- Cut out a wing or two and sew them to the bird. If you're making a front-facing bird, cut and sew your felt beak on now too.
- Use your embroidery floss to make french knot eyes for your bird. You could also use seed beads!
- Shape your craft wire into bird legs. I gave my birds 3 little toes but I can't comment on whether or not that is anatomically correct :).
- Glue your wire legs on the back side of your bird and place a small piece of matching fabric over the top.
- Glue your clothespin to the back and enjoy your new friend (or flock of friends)!
And now I must retreat back to my craft room/holiday workshop!! Just a few weeks until Christmas and SO much left to do!! Hope everyone is enjoying the season and wrapping up your holiday WIPs!

Details of Widespread Panic and the Ticket Luck value
Widespread Panic
Having spent 25 years in the music industry, Widespread Panic is still soaring high and from the looks of it, they aren't stopping anytime soon. Hailing from Athens, Georgia, this six-member band was initially formed by the duo John Bell and Michael Houser. While Houser succumbed to a fatal disease in 2002, Bell still continues to be a major part of the band.
The band's history dates back to 1981 when Houser and Bell were studying at the University of Georgia. The latter having experience as a solo performer started jamming with Houser and later were joined by the other members; Dave School as the bassist, Todd Nance on drums, Jimmy Herring as the guitarist, John Hermann on keyboards and Domingo Ortiz as the percussionist. Innovators in every aspect, the band came up with the name "Widespread Panic" because of the frequent panic-attacks that Houser used to get, a problem which he later controlled.
Immediately after formation, Widespread Panic started composing music and came up with tracks like "Driving School" and "Chilly Water". The talented members frequently performed at bars and fraternities, every performance adding to their experience as well as popularity. It was during one of these performances that the band was discovered by Landslide Records, with whom they later signed a deal.
In 1988 Widespread Panic released its debut album titled, "Space Wrangler". With the lyrics penned by the dynamic duo Bell and Houser, the album was an instant success and produced the sensational number, "Coconut". The bouncy rhythm and rocking beat laced with catchy lyrics is still hummed by people. The album boasts of another stellar track, "Chilly Water" that blends the expertise of Bell and Houser. The former's vocals and latter's guitar playing makes the song both interesting and mysterious; a combination rarely found.
After the release of the album, Widespread Panic was compared with the rock band "Grateful Dead", as they had their eclectic style which was a mix of various genres. However, the six-piece are as original as it can get. Despite developing a comfortable rapport with the rock n` roll genre, the band continued to experiment transcending the boundaries. They infused jazz, blues as well as reggae in their music which created sound that was pleasantly fresh. Often during their recording sessions, one member or the other would improvise which resulted in unique and ingenious music.
Widespread Panic continued to release one successful album after the other, all the while aiming for new creations. In 2001 the band released its first album under its own label Widespread Records. "Don't Tell the Band" reached the Billboard 200 list, taking the music lovers by storm. The veteran ensemble seemed to have further refined its artistry and the album certainly showed that. From the very first track each member settles into a groove, expertly producing an assortment of jazz fusion, soul, Latin rock, grunge as well as melodic folk. The multi-genre album boasts of tracks like, "Imitation Leather Shoes", irresistibly funky "Big Wooly Mammoth" and soulful "Little Lilly".
The jam-band has released its latest album in 2010 titled, "Dirty Side Down". Once again the dynamic six caught the fans by surprise as each track adorns its own style, varying in composition, acoustic as well as lyrics. Each member has contributed with songwriting resulting in a mix of themes. Widespread Panic has incorporated its unique blend of genres to create melodic compositions and rhythmic beats. "Dirty Side Down" boasts of breezy blues tracks like "Jaded Tourist", multilayered "Saint Ex" and southern rock, "When You Coming Home".
Widespread Panic is also commonly known as a touring band. They hit the road quite often, entertaining the fans with their live music. Their live performances include a mix of cover songs, their own hit tracks as well as new melodies that are either ready or still in process. At a Panic show be prepared for stunning improvisations and incessant jamming.

Installation overview
It's not often that you can complete a project in a weekend that will save you money and dramatically improve the looks of your house. In this article, we'll show you how to order a door that'll fit like a glove. Then we'll show you, step by step, how to get your old door out and the new one in.
If you can handle basic carpentry tasks, you'll have no trouble installing a new prehung door in a day. Figure on another day to finish the details and start painting the door. You can complete most of the job with basic hand tools. You'll need a hammer, pry bar, tape measure, level, utility knife, nail set and saw. If you decide to install new interior trim, you'll also need a miter saw.
We ordered a top-quality prehung wood door with special 2-1/2-in.-wide exterior trim (casing) (Simpson Bungalow No. 7228) from a local lumberyard. We could have purchased a steel or fiberglass door for much less, but the style and crisp detailing of the wood door matched the house perfectly and we couldn't resist. The door arrived about two weeks after we ordered it.
Measure your old door
In most cases, simply order a new door the same size as the old one. If you alter the size or add sidelights, you'll have to reframe the opening and alter many details. This usually doubles or triples the size of the job. Here are the four sets of measurements you'll need to order a door (refer to Figure A, for extra details):
Door size. Measure the width and height of your old door. Round these up to full inches to find the size of the replacement door you'll need. If, for example, your door measures 35-3/4 in. wide and 79-1/2 in. tall, you'll order a 36-in. by 80-in. door.
Jamb width. Measure from the backside of the interior trim to the backside of the exterior trim (Figure A). Specify this jamb width when you order your new prehung door. This guarantees that the interior trim will fit flush to the wall without adding "jamb extensions."
Rough opening. You'll have to remove the interior trim to get accurate measurements of the rough opening. Measure the opening width between framing members and from the bottom of the sill to the top of the opening. Compare these measurements to the rough opening requirements of your new door to make sure it will fit.
Exterior opening (or "masonry opening" if you have a brick or stone door surround). Measure to the outsides of the exterior casing and then from the bottom of the sill to the top of the trim. Compare these measurements with those of a prehung door that has standard 2-in.-wide "brick molding" trim. If the framed door with standard trim is too small to completely fill the space or if you want a different trim style, you have three options. The best solution is to order a door with wider, flat casing to fit the opening. You can always add a piece of decorative molding overtop to approximate the style of your existing exterior trim. (We ordered 2-1/-n. flat casing and reinstalled the existing decorative molding.) Second, you can order your door with standard molding and fill the gap with additional strips of wood. The last option is to order the door without exterior molding and make your own to fit.
Tear out your old door
Photos 1 – 4 show how to take out the old door and frame. If you plan to reuse the interior moldings, pull the nails through the backside with a pliers or nipper to avoid damaging the face. Cutting through one side jamb makes it easy to tear out the entire frame (Photo 4).
After the door frame is out, check the condition of the framing and subflooring in the sill area. Cut out and replace any rotted wood. If the sill on your new door is thinner than the one you removed, you may have to build up the sill area as shown in Photo 5. Set the sill height so the door just clears carpeting or rugs when it swings inward.
Photo 6 shows how to protect the sill from water intrusion. Buy the flashing tape from lumberyards. If you're installing a door in a newly constructed wall, you can buy a special plastic sill flashing kit instead. One brand is Jamsil. Details will vary depending on the doorway situation. The idea is to channel water away from the wood. If your home is built on a concrete slab, the door frame will probably rest directly on the slab.
If your door is exposed to the weather, direct water away from the door with a metal drip cap overtop (Figure C). Brick openings like ours and doors protected by porches with roofs don't require a drip cap. You'll find drip caps at home centers and lumberyards. If the drip cap is damaged or missing, install a new one before you set the door frame in the opening. Cut the metal drip cap to fit and slide it under the siding and building paper (Figure C). If nails are in the way, slip a hacksaw blade under the siding and cut them.
Prepare the sill
We were lucky. Our brick opening was level and plumb, but this isn't always the case. Start by checking the sill area with a 2-ft. level. If you're building it up as we show in Photo 5, it's easy to level it with shims at the same time. Otherwise, level the sill area with pairs of shims spaced about 4 in. apart.
Then set the door in the opening for a test fit. Hold a level against the hinge jamb and adjust the door and frame until the jamb is plumb. Check to see how the casing fits against the siding. If the siding is so far out of plumb that the door frame and casing don't fit in, you either cut back the siding or trim the casing. It looks better if you can cut the siding, but it's usually more practical and easier to trim the casing. Mark the casing in areas that need trimming. Then take the door out and trim the casing with a belt sander or circular saw.
Set the door in the opening
Make sure the building paper is intact around the frame edges. If not, slide strips of No. 15 felt behind the siding and tack it to the framing with staples. When you're sure the door will fit, caulk along the sill and behind the casing and tip the door into the opening. Photos 8 – 10 show how to shim and nail the door. The goal is to center the door in the opening and shim the sides until they're plumb and straight. Adjust the pairs of shims until the gap between the door and the jamb is consistent on the sides and top of the door. When you're happy with the fit, nail through the jamb into the framing at each shim location. Then replace one screw closest to the inside in each hinge with one long enough to reach the framing. This will keep the door from sagging over time (Photo 11).
Insulate, caulk and install the trim
After insulating the space around the door (Photo 12), install the interior trim. Photo 13 shows how to cover a gap between the doorsill and flooring. Complete the job by caulking the exterior (Photo 14). For gaps wider than 3/16 in., insert a foam backer (available at home centers, hardware stores and lumberyards) and apply caulk over it. Most doors require an additional trim board under the sill to support its outer edge. Finally, remove the door and paint or stain and varnish the door, jamb and trim.
Editor's Note: Buying a New Door
Most home centers stock prehung exterior doors in a limited number of styles. Common jamb widths for stock doors are 4-9/16 in. and 6-9/16 in., and they usually include 2-in. wide brick molding for exterior trim. These doors work great for newly constructed walls and for replacing doors in newer homes. But if, after measuring the jamb width and opening sizes for your existing door, you discover that you need a different size jamb or that your exterior trim is wider, then you'll save a lot of headaches by ordering a door to your exact specifications.
There are three types of doors to choose from. Steel doors are popular because they're inexpensive and require little maintenance. Fiberglass doors won't warp or rot, and the more expensive models are hard to tell apart from real wood. You'll find the widest selection of styles in wood doors, but be prepared to spend extra time maintaining the finish.
Prehung exterior doors are available at home centers and lumberyards. If you can't find what you're looking for in stock, you can order it. Take along your measurements and a sketch showing which way the door swings.
If you plan to install a new entry knob and deadbolt, pick them out before you order the door. Then ask the salesperson to have the door drilled to accept your hardware. It'll cost a little extra, but it's well worth it to avoid the nerve-racking job of drilling into a new door. Don't forget to order hinges that will match the finish of your hardware.

Whether it is through his work or in his spare time, Dan Osborn believes in giving back to the community. He is looking forward to doing that as associate planner for the Los Alamos Community and Economic Development Department.
"It's always exciting to come into a community and be able to hear what the community wants," Osborn said. "One of the best parts of being an urban planner is getting to hear and understand how the community sees itself and then working to provide the tools to the community through the planning process to create that community.
"It's one of the things that make urban planning so special. It's why I went into this position. It's a way to serve and give back and to work with the community to provide what it wants from an urban design standpoint."
Osborn started with the county Oct. 15. He brings nine years of experience in the public sector, working his way up from planning tech to planner II for the City of Westminster, Colo., during his eight years there and spending an additional year as planner II for Jefferson County, Colo.
During his time in Westminster, Osborn helped develop both commercial and residential design guidelines and standards and worked with redevelopment of older parts of the city.
"We had some real aging infrastructure across the board and were able to use those design guidelines to partner with businesses, partner with the community and develop plans and designs that echoed what the community wanted to see as they moved forward and as they grew," Osborn said. "I think that's one of the special skill sets that I can hopefully bring to bear in my position here."
One of the projects Osborn was assigned to had an impact the entire Denver metro area.
"I did the review for a couple of Wal-Marts, which were kind of a big deal in Westminster," Osborn said. "They were redevelopment, where we took an existing center that was built in the 1950s and had some serious blight issues and were able to negotiate one of the better looking Walmarts in the metropolitan area.
"It was the first all brick Wal-Mart in the Denver area, with some really nice architectural façade features. They went on to use that as the model, because once other communities saw that they could do that type of work, they actually started requiring it. So now they've replicated that in a lot of different parts of the Denver metro area. So it was a big success for the city."
In 2007, Osborn took a job with Banks and Gesso, LLC, a private land use consulting firm. A year later, the economic downturn hit the firm and Osborn was laid off.
"I kind of went through the meat grinder there for a few years. There are a lot of good planners that went through a similar time," Osborn said. "But it allowed me to go back and get my masters degree, something that I've always wanted to do. So I used it as a positive and went back and finished that up and was able to graduate with straight As."
Osborn's master's degree from the University of Denver is in environmental policy and management, with a focus on sustainability and energy policy. His undergraduate degree in land use is from Metropolitan State College in Denver.
Osborn is unsure how his knowledge of sustainability and energy policy may be put to use here, but is glad to see that sustainability is valued by the county.
"Certainly from a community development standpoint, an urban planning standpoint, it's key," Osborn said. "You've got to have a community that's got the balance, that's able to both grow and sustain. Oftentimes that means redevelopment, to utilize those resources and find ways to repurpose and keep them shiny and new so people want to utilize the infrastructure."
Osborn said that the Los Alamos area had been on his radar for a long time when he saw the job posting. Osborn grew up in the Denver area, a fourth generation Coloradan. He sees a lot of similarities between Los Alamos and Denver before that city's growth spurt in the mid-1990s.
"I love the West, and I really liked what I saw down here, I really liked the community," Osborn said. "The community itself has really good bones as far as the infrastructure that's here, and there seems to be a willingness to work. So that coupled with the availability of the job and wanting to get back in the market, it was a really nice fit."
During his free time, Osborn is throwing himself into exploring the local area and getting to know local businesses.
"Every week I try to venture out and find a new place to try and support those businesses," Osborn said. "I think that's important. It's an ethic that needs to be embedded in the community. It may as well start with me."
Osborn's belief in helping his community extends into his free time. He spent his first weekend here helping to build snow fences at the Pajarito Mountain ski area.
"I am looking for those opportunities where I can volunteer and give back a little bit to the community," Osborn said. "If you're going to be here, it's all in."
Osborn is looking to create something of a legacy.
"I would love to look back 20 years from now and say, hey, we really did something special in Los Alamos, and were able to create the community that everybody wanted, and it's a place that people want to come, stay, live, grow."

The New York Mets faced a myriad of questions entering the off-season. Now, with spring training staring us in the face. let's see how have they answered them.
With Matt Harvey lost for the season following Tommy John surgery, the Mets needed to add two starters because they had no assurances of help from their minor league system that includes Noah Syndergaard, Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom.
Bartolo Colon was signed to a two-year contract, theoretically to fill the void this season and in 2015 if there was a problem in Harvey's rehab.
Within the past two weeks they signed John Lannan and Daisuke Matsuzaka, which should give them the promise of at least five innings from the fifth starter.
Colon is an upgrade over Aaron Harang, and if Matsuzaka pitches as he did in his final three starts last season, he will keep things in order until the prospects arrive.
Conclusion: They are better now than after the season, but not good enough to make them better than a .500 team without some help.
With Bobby Parnell recovering from neck surgery, the Mets' Plan B is to make Vic Black the closer.
The Mets will bring back most of their 2013 bullpen, but there won't be enough arms in camp to create widespread competition.
Conclusion: Things would be better if the Mets could depend on Parnell's status, but the bullpen heading into spring training is no better than last year's.
Most Mets fans said the team should have done this last July and cut ties with Ike Davis. Unable to trade him – and initially showing signs of leaning toward Lucas Duda – it appears the Mets are back to square one by giving Davis another chance.
The Mets' outward efforts to deal Davis only decreased his value. Duda doesn't have much trade value, either. Neither does Wilmer Flores, who won't be given a chance to compete for the first base job.
Conclusion: What was a season-long distraction lasted through the winter and will greet us in Port St. Lucie.
Acquiring a shortstop was a top priority during the winter, but the Mets were never in it for Jhonny Peralta and Stephen Drew is well out of their price range.
Prior to the Winter Meetings, GM Sandy Alderson suggested Ruben Tejada would get another chance. The Mets also brought back Omar Quintanilla as Tejada's back-up.
Conclusion: Instead of upgrading, the Mets are reduced to hoping for Tejada to play better than he had ever been before.
Curtis Granderson was signed to a four-year contract and Chris Young was given a one-year deal. Granderson is coming off an injury prone, non-productive year.
Granderson is young enough to give the Mets hope he can bounce back, although nobody expects him to duplicate his Yankee Stadium numbers at Citi Field.
Conversely, Young is several years removed from his best seasons. The Mets are hoping for lightning in a bottle from him.
Conclusion: A productive Granderson will upgrade the offense, improve the outfield and protect David Wright in the batting order. No guarantees, however.

Julian needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
I'm an entrepreneur and web developer trying to get a brand new service off the ground!
Target market is those who ride in chauffeured cars, often wealthier and more discerning clients. However, these people will not always make bookings themselves as their time is too valuable. So the target is also personal assistants and maybe concierges.
I want a logo for PocketRide, an online booking service for chauffeured cars.
PocketRide does for chauffeured cars what wotif.com does for hotels. Instead of ringing (or surfing) around to find a car, customers can book once on PocketRide and receive offers from multiple chauffeur companies. (Ok, so it's not EXACTLY like wotif)
The site address is http://pocketride.com.au. The logo does NOT need to conform to the design or colour scheme of the existing site, however. I will have the site redesigned to fit the new logo. (Having said that, feel free to improve my existing logo)
- a text-only logo is preferred (but not mandatory)
- corporate, not casual
- dependable, not homegrown
- no background colour, should work on white background
- vehicular elements not necessary, but not prohibited either (service is vehicle agnostic)
- no pictures of pockets please
- I prefer not to see blends, unless they're subtle and/or tasteful
Idea: something with the outline of a chauffeur?
(Anyone looking at my previous contest will notice it ended abruptly. I will run this one to its full length.)

Below are relevant fragments of a very recent email exchange I had with Eric Jon Phelps in which I asked him what it means for someone to be Jesuit trained (my questions are in blue, Eric's response is in green):
I would like to know from you what it means for someone to be Jesuit-trained. Does the Jesuit Order keep (close) contact with its pupil for the entire duration of the pupil's life? Do the Jesuits openly manipulate their pupils after their education, steering them into certain directions beneficial to the Order on the excuse of merely 'advising' them? Or do they perhaps do that more stealthily and cunningly, by subtly providing their pupils with information at which the pupil then decides ostensibly by his or hers own volition the course in life ideally never suspecting that the Order is subtly steering them into their preferred direction? How does it pay off to have a Jesuit education? Are Temporal Coadjutors Jesuit-trained by definition?
The Order's Temporal Coadjutors may or may not be Jesuit trained. Those students who are trained by the Jesuits have the greatest possibility of finding a job after graduation. Their education is first, their placement is second and the reason for which the Order trained them. Their grads are found in every profession and walk of life. It is in these vocations that they become the most dangerous, men like Tim Russert and Chris Matthews of the Order's CFR-controlled Press. Many coajdutors are Yale and Harvard Grads. The Order has a Jesuit House at Harvard---the alma mater of Coadjutor Bill O'Reilly. If the Order puts you in political office, it expects you to submit to their advisor, men like Jesuit priest John McLaughlin, the man who wrote Nixon's speeches. If you jettison the Order that put you in office, then you will be punished or killed.
Also I can understand that a person such as Bill Clinton, being a Georgetown graduate, has the opportunity to build up a Jesuitical network from which he and the Order may mutually benefit later in life.
However, when it comes to, for instance, a person such as Fidel Castro or Joseph Stalin who were trained at a very early age, I am more at a loss of imagining how the Order maintains control of their pupils.
By sheer power of the machine put them in power. The CIA put Castro in power and has kept him in that power since 1960. The British SIS put Stalin in power and with the CIA, kept him there until he was poisoned for resisting the Order. He arrested his Jesuit advisor Alexander Poskrebyshev in late 1952. He was poisoned in March of 1953 and AP lived to a ripe old age dying in about 1965.
Therefore, could you please explain to me, in your opinion and knowledge, how the Order keeps on manipulating the lives of their pupils especially regarding those who were trained at a very young age?
The Order rewards their minions with money, power, women and anything necessary to keep these slaves happy. The tools also know that to resist this huge monlithic monster will be suicide as he is reminded of the JFK assassination.

Israel May Expand Counter-Rocket, Artillery And Mortar Use
Israel has endured rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) attacks for decades. The country's recent success with the Iron Dome counter-RAM (C-RAM) air-defense system could lead to an expansion of the program, which might include a place for high-energy lasers.
The initial strategy was to punish and deter the enemy. In 1996, however, the U.S. and Israel launched a collaborative program to develop Nautilus, a megawatt-level chemical laser-based C-RAM weapon. Despite impressive performance in defeating rockets and artillery rounds in flight, the program was shelved in 2005 due to lack of interest and support by both sides.
Some of this may have stemmed from Israel's withdrawal from south Lebanon in 2000. Relative quiet on the border caused leaders to lose interest in the C-RAM weapon, which was still in the technology demonstration phase. The defense ministry decided to skip the complex, cumbersome chemical laser and invest in high-energy solid-state lasers, which were then a decade from maturity.
RAM threats comprise a variety of types: high-speed artillery shells; small, low-signature mortars; and rockets that vary over trajectory, range and firing rates. Since countermeasures must take effect within seconds to be effective, it is necessary to intercept such targets at distances beyond 1,000 meters (3,300 ft.) and deliver enough energy to defeat them. For an effective laser intercept, where beam quality and brightness diminishes with range, only a high-power laser packs enough energy to defeat a fast-moving target. For most tactical lasers, that means an effective intercept window at distances of 1,000-3,000 meters.
In 2006, when the north of Israel was attacked with thousands of rockets for more than a month, Israeli leaders realized they could not ignore the threat any longer. Waiting for high-power lasers was not an option. The defense ministry considered more than 20 suggestions for C-RAM weapons, and eventually decided to back the guided-missile system known as Iron Dome, which was proposed by Rafael. Less than four years later the system was put to the test, defeating a rocket salvo from Gaza. Months later, with four batteries deployed, Iron Dome shot down more than 500 rockets, achieving an 85% intercept rate.
Iron Dome was proved to be a success in Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012. Nevertheless, the defense ministry is enhancing the system to meet evolving challenges and to address requirements domestically and abroad. One of the key enhancements is the introduction of a much larger multimission radar for advanced units. This radar will increase the range and battlespace awareness of Iron Dome units, enabling coverage of larger areas and protecting against short- and medium-range threats.
To address the needs of potential export users, Rafael is expanding the scope of Iron Dome beyond C-RAM, to provide effective very-short-range air-defense system (Vshorad) for mobile or fixed sites. Integrating the standard Iron Dome radar or a low-level air-defense radar would result in a system with a much larger defensive footprint than Vshorad gun and missile systems.
A return to solid-state laser technology is also in sight as power and efficiency improve. In May 2012, Northrop Grumman test-fired a ruggedized and compact high-power solid-state laser designed to form the basic module of future weapons. The 13.3-kw, solid-state slab laser called Gamma is part of Northrop Grumman's Firestrike family of high-power lasers, which harness multiple modules to produce the power needed for weapon effects. The Gamma demonstrator is a single building block that would be combined with chain blocks to create laser power in excess of 100 kw.
Rheinmetall Defense of Germany has test-fired a 50-kw laser at mortar shells flying at 50 meters/sec. Company officials say that by employing Rheinmetall's Beam Superimposing Technology, a future laser weapon could deliver 100-kw outputconsidered the optimal power level for a C-RAM weapon.
The U.S. Navy, meanwhile, plans to deploy a solid-state laser weapon in the Persian Gulf in fiscal 2014two years ahead of schedule. The laser, slated for the USS Ponce, an amphibious transport dock, has shot down a drone.

Simulation Specialist can leverage ExSight, the expert-level product family for advanced nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) and multiphysics simulation on the V6 platform. ExSight leverages Abaqus FEA technology and provides advanced capabilities for modeling, meshing, simulation and visualization of results for analysis experts.
Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) enables Simulation Specialists to manage simulation data, capture and deploy company best practices, distribute simulations across computing resources, and share the simulation results to improve collaborative decision making.
SIMULIA Multiphysics Extended Pack
ExSight Multiphysics Extended Pack provides advanced meshing, modeling and simulation capabilities for simulation specialists on the Version 6 platform.
ExSight Multiphysics Extended Pack is part of SIMULIA's ExSight product family, which together with the DesignSight and Simulation Lifecycle Management product families constitutes a comprehensive product portfolio for realistic simulation built on the Version 6 platform. ExSight is intended for simulation specialists and provides extensive capabilities for setting up and running Abaqus and other multiphysics simulations. ExSight Multiphysics Extended Pack is an extension of the ExSight Multiphysics Pack and provides capabilities such as advanced mesh generation on solid and surface parts, import of composites section properties from CATIA Composites, and definition of automatic or surface based contact. Capabilities for implicit and explicit, transient dynamic simulation are also provided.
- Provides advanced meshing tools in a single integrated environment with full associativity to geometry
- Provides integrated capabilities for composites modeling.
- Provides flexible and robust options for contact modeling
- Enables nonlinear dynamics simulations to be defined and executed
Rule Based Meshing:Enables fully automatic meshing of complex surface geometry with quality meshes containing fewer elements. Common geometric entities are recognized and meshed based on user-defined rules creating meshes that automatically meet mesh-quality targets. Provides consistent meshing results and offers meshing rules appropriate to the target industry and discipline.
Batch MeshingA convenient tool is provided to quickly mesh a single shell part or large assemblies of shell parts from a Navigation window using defined rules. Batch meshing can be used to mesh multiple products without the need to load all the geometry and finite element model representations into memory.
Mesh EditingEnables users to leverage mesh and geometry editing tools for manual meshing and editing operations. The user has access to a variety of tools such as local mesh specifications and mesh quality based editing.
Composite Material and SectionAllows the definition of lamina elastic material properties for composites modeling. It supports the direct import of composite layup information from CATIA Composites Part Design for composite shell section property definition. The analyst can thus quickly setup the composites model and run simulations. The direct link with the composites design allows for composites layups to be updated seamlessly based on the results of simulations.
ContactProvides a convenient contact detection tool for rapid setup of contact interactions in a model. In addition, the user has the option to define surface based contact pairs based on user specified master and slave surfaces. Contact property definitions for friction properties can be created by the user and associated with contact pairs. Visualization tools enable the quick review of created contact pairs.
Explicit Dynamics simulationMulti-step, nonlinear, explicit dynamic simulation can be defined with models consisting of solid or shell elements. For each simulation step, attributes can be defined and user controls can be set to customizing the analysis time incrementation. A mass scaling option is available to reduce solution times.
Implicit Dynamics simulationMulti-step, nonlinear Implicit dynamic simulation can be defined with models consisting of solid or shell elements. implicit time integration is used to calculate the transient dynamic or quasi-static response of a system. The user has the choice of specifying application types including transient fidelity, moderate dissipation and quasi-static simulations.
Model Building and geometry importProvides a wide range of tools for feature-based part modeling and assembly creation. Geometry imported from 3rd party CAD systems can be imported using STEP and IGES formats and modified for simulation.

About "mid gray"
One folk phrase in which the term appears is this:
In a proper metered exposure of a frame-filling target with a uniform reluctance of 18%, the exposure result across the frame will be mid gray.First I have to point out a problem with that statement, which can be very misleading. In fact, in a proper metered exposure of a frame-filling target with any uniform reflectance (of course as long as its luminance falls in the range acceptable to the metering system), the exposure result across the frame will be the same uniform value, regardless of the target reflectance. This is how reflected light exposure metering works.
Now, what is that exposure result? Well, if we consider the "classical" exposure metering algorithm, using as its exposure index the ISO speed of the sensor, then theoretically that exposure result will imply a luminance of about 12.8% of the "saturation" luminance.
But if we move into the modern era, with the exposure metering algorithm using as its exposure index the ISO Standard Output Sensitivity (ISO SOS) of the sensor, then theoretically that exposure result will imply a luminance of about 18.1% of the "saturation" luminance.
Now does one of these implied relative luminances deserve the name "mid gray"? Well, we might at first think that an implied relative luminance of 50% would deserve to be considered "mid gray".
That would in fact, in graphic arts terminology, be called "50% gray, which sounds sort of "mid-range".
But be careful here. In that notation, an implied relative luminance of 70% is called "30% gray"; after all, is is "less dark", "less gray". And an implied relative luminance of 20% would be called "80% gray" (it is "very dark", "very gray").But that doesn't fit our implied relative luminance of 12.8% or 18.1%.
Now if we consider the La*b* color space, it turns out that when L is 50% (the middle of the range of that coordinate), the implied relative luminance is 18.1%. Aha!
So maybe "mid-scale" on the La*b* coordinate "L" is what people have seized upon as a numerical definition of "mid gray".
In any case, I would discourage the use of descriptions of exposure metering matters (or other exposure planning matters) that involve the ambiguous term "mid gray".
Best regards,

Here is the 1910 US Census for Ole and Mari Finnestad's grandson, Peter Andrew Travland, wife Hannah and their son Lawrence (line 70 - 72) living in Bee County, Texas.
The image has been smeared, but living a few houses away (lines 79 - 84) was Peter's younger brother, Thomas Tobias Travland, wife Stella and their children, Ernest, William, Louis and Lillie.
The three Travland brothers all lived within a short distance of each other in Bee County; yesterday I posted the 1910 Census for their older brother Ole Travland.
Peter was the second son (and third child) born to Iverdine (Finnestad) and Lewis Joseph Peterson Travland. Thomas was the third son (fourth and final child) born to Iverdine and Lewis.

|A poster at Henderson's public library.
This project will be archived at the
library's research centre.
It's surely a mark of an interested, active community that its public library noticeboard is up to date and announces a wealth of associations and events. Here in Henderson, West Auckland, these range from the woodturners guild and the Scottish country dance club (no partner needed) to job-search meetings in the library and the settlement support group for new migrants.
Heavens above: there's even an invitation to "read the Bible before you die", more moderate than that quote suggests. With its black Courier typeface and plain white paper, it's also more modest than the other shinier, more colourful, signs of things to come. And though it speaks of things eternal, by my second visit it's no longer there.
Turning 180 degrees to the doorway of the Waitakere Central Library, it's reassuring to see another notice declaring that this is a
|The circulation desk at Waitakere Central Library.
Members of the public come here with any
initial questions or requests for help.
Many of Ted's local photos feature in long-time Waitakere Mayor Bob Harvey's Untamed Coast: Auckland's Waitakere Ranges and West Coast Beaches. His show at the library, however, seems to be from another planet, one that's black and white and innumerable shades of grey.
That planet is 1960s London, where the photographer grew up and where he served his time as an apprentice in the now-vanished photo-litho industry. The London that he caught on film has vanished too: it was populated by Footplate Fred, whose job would end when diesel overtook the steam trains; by children playing on Blitz bombsites that would soon make way for tower blocks; and, in Petticoat Lane, by a little old lady who was an unlikely-looking messenger of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts.
The Apprentice, Ted Scott's show (to June 30), offers an interesting lesson about documenting the ordinary life that's right in front of us. Soon enough, people will find it extraordinary. Of course, you have to have an eye for it, and he clearly does.
Back then, he was a teenager using his first camera. Films were expensive, so he'd buy one with just 12 exposures, and try to make every shot count. Occasionally something in his carefully arranged composition would (f)alter just as his finger pressed the shutter: that's life, isn't it? Some of the resulting photos he thought were flawed, but on reviewing them very recently he concluded that they had a certain something. So half a century on, these striking images are on display.
Today another camera operator, research centre team leader Robyn Mason, will record Ted's talk for posterity. And the reading room that we've come to is named after someone else who documented things: Jack Diamond was a self-taught historian of west Auckland who spent decades recording the present before it passed, the past before it sank into oblivion. After he died in 2001, his 30 linear metres of photos, books and manuscripts were donated to the library.
When my friend and I arrive, the room is full of schoolchildren. Their teacher and the librarian are ending a practical lesson on research and there's a light hum of conversation, punctuated by packing up, as everyone gets ready to go. Perhaps some of the students will later contribute essays to the J. T. Diamond Essay Competition, which encourages west Auckland historical research and the writing down of memories. I hope so; I hope that in the new and larger Auckland this initiative, hitherto a joint project of Waitakere Libraries and the West Auckland Historical Society, will continue.
Waitakere Central Library, which opened in 2006, is seven times the size of its predecessor, and clearly intended as a "city library". If the spacious circulation area doesn't convince you, the mayoral portraits will. Six suited men, two of them robed, are resplendent in gold chains, facing anyone who approaches the fiction department. They give no hint that their days are numbered.
What goes, and what stays, when cities amalgamate? Some of the change is easily identified and quantified; some isn't. This library gives the sense that we're in Waitakere — surely something there's no need to shake off.
Still, there may be more appropriate candidates for pride of place on that otherwise blank wall: the Waitakere Arts Laureates, for instance, whose black and white portraits by Catherine Davidson are harder to find. They're deeper in the library; I'd suggest their subjects also draw more deeply from the well of ideas.
As the new age of amalgamation dawned late in 2010, cultural commentator Hamish Keith lauded Waitakere City for its embrace of the arts, especially its laureate scheme, which has honoured 16 artists (in fibre, fine arts, hard materials, literature, performance) who have some connection with the west. He described this as "an initiative that deserves not to sink with the abandoned deckchairs. The new Auckland should immediately take this bunch aboard and should add to them, creating its own much larger tribe of the creative wise."
That's yet to happen. Although the post-amalgamation council's Auckland Plan makes mention of the possibility, it makes no provision for it in years to come. Giving the existing laureates pride of place in the Waitakere Central Library would be one way to remind people of what the west can offer the wider Auckland.
|The laying on of hands? No, this is
Waitakere Central's new "intelligent
return" machine. It reads compatible
labels to check books in.
The polytechnic and public library initially shared the ground-floor learning centre, too. When I visited in April it looked like a school computer room, though largely without a class: Unitec seemed by this time to have concentrated its computing resources for students elsewhere — perhaps in its campus building next door, though there's also an extensive Unitec space on the third level of the library.
The Library Opens Up: Space, Access, a Sense of Security
When I went back a month later, after the library had closed a few days for renovations, the rows of desks in the learning centre had gone. Instead there was a more convivial arrangement with space to sprawl — more public library lounge than cramming chamber. As a staff member told me, it's now a lot easier for people with prams or other equipment to move around.
|An informal seating area just inside the library.
- a former library shop just inside the library has become an informal seating area;
- DVDs and music are now more accessible at the front of the library on the ground floor;
- magazines have been moved to the front on the second level (where the DVDs and music used to be);
- more study tables in a naturally quiet area by windows at the end of the second level;
- all the ground floor bookshelves are now less tall than previously.
The latter I'd noticed in the children's section, where shelves are even lower than the rows of fiction that precede them. This means barriers have been replaced with space, light and a clear line of sight, giving a sense of accessibility but also security, backing up the nearby notices promoting the care of children and prevention of bullying.
|Signs like this are now appearing
in a number of public libraries.
For retailers the desired result of such a "greeting" is a personal connection between staff member and customer, rendering products and services more accessible but at the same time boosting security. One challenge for the worker, especially in a library or bookshop, is to get the timing right: don't interrupt a browser's reverie or they may up sticks and leave, suffering from an acute case of the Shoulds ("I should be doing x, y, z..."). A degree of breeziness is called for, and it's important not to seem pushy.
|A quiet corner in the children's section,
enjoyed by children and adults alike.

sdhrthk necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 207 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Keeples is a new kind of search engine that finds specific people to answer your questions.
This question-referral system is an important distinguishing factor: Keeples is not a typical Q&A site; it's a people search. The client would like the website design to clearly communicate this unique aspect of Keeples.
This project is about creating a new redesign for the website. The first attempt at the website (at keeples.com) did not clearly convey the value of Keeples as it looks likes a generic Q&A website.
IMPORTANT to consider the Ratings System:
0 star - not really what I'm looking for.
1 star - getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design
2 star - design is being considered but need more feedback from us
3 star - Customer is watching you
4 star - I really like the design and will be presented to our customer
5 star - Customer really like the design and will make the final selections from these
The target audience for Keeples is any curious person. Specifically, Keeples aims to target people who are seeking human answers to their questions, people who want to access information that is not readily available on the web (eg. what's the best place to park near bar x on Saturday nights?). The goal of Keeples is to encourage people to ask for highly specific information, and to actually get answers for it.
About 30-40% of Keeples traffic will come directly from search engine hits, where a search query will happen to match one of Keeples' pre-exisiting questions. The user will then be taken directly to the question page. For example, if you go to Google and type "remove before wearing tags", Keeples will be the first result, because we happen to have a question relating to clothes. The user will then click on the Google link and be taken directly to Keeple's question page containing the clothes question. Note that the user's first exposure to Keeples will often be the question page, not the homepage. Thus, the question page is actually more powerful than the homepage, in terms of communicating Keeples' value.
We are looking for a total overhaul of the current Keeples website design. See complete brief attached for details.
The Question page:
- When a user visits the question page, he should immediately realize that Keeples is very different from a typical Q&A website. Users should understand that Keeples is a people search that finds specific people to answer your questions.
- box to ask questions
- Question that was originally asked, and answers
- A brief explanation of what Keeples is
- There should be an email address: firstname.lastname@example.com, along with "In a hurry? Just email your question to email@example.com and we'll send back expert answers."
- A box that just says "Are you the World's Most Intelligent Person?" (It will eventually be a link to a list of Keeple's top contributors for that week.)
- One idea for placing the Most-Intelligent-Person (MIP) link and the ask@keeples is to place them side by side at that bottom of the page.
The Main page:
- Again the main page should convey a value that is unique and different from answers.yahoo.com or answerbag.com. Ideally it should look more like search engine than a Q&A website. The client likes the idea of using a diagram or some kind of a use case to illustrate what Keeples does. (See the "Keeples front page.jpg" for an example use case). However, if you can think of a better way to show Keeples' concept, the client is very open to other ideas.
- When the user visits the main page, he should immediately understand that Keeples will find specific people to answer his question.
- Our client likes simple main pages.
- The Keeples Logo (attached, and again, feel free to change the color)
- A box to ask questions.
- An explanation of what Keeples is good for. (See attached mock ups for a rough idea)
- A most-intelligent-person (MIP) link as described in the question page.
