Slaughterhouse 4
Sometimes I think we have a difficult time putting into perspective that the Holocaust took place less than 80-years ago — or that Stalin, or Mao, or Pol Pot, or some other totalitarian despot was busy putting people to death in some organized fashion in the not so distant past.
Obama's friend from the neighborhood, Bill Ayers, once discussed the necessity of having to kill, say, 25 million Americans who refused to go along with his idea of fundamental transformation, and today, in China and North Korea, political killings are still fairly standard practice. In the case of parts of Africa, I assume there are horrors the likes of which we will never know their true extent.
Which is why I always find it funny that the leftists, who invariably are behind these social experiments in genocide and cultural reorganization, project their behavior onto the "Christian right" or some other designation for people of the Judeo-Christian faith, who are the progeny of the founders of our country — a country whose founding and seminal assumption is natural law, the very thing that gives weight to the primacy of the individual and the idea of true tolerance.
Right now, what's left of the "freedom fighters" we were supposed to get behind in Syria — at least, I think that's what John McCain told me they were (though I may be confusing that with his legitimating of the Muslim Brotherhood) — are running their own human slaughterhouses, offering sacrifices in the name of their brand of Muslim radicalism, killing Christians and certain Muslims who don't adhere to their brand, Al Qaeda's brand, of pan-Arabia and the subjugation of the world to Islam.
This is happening today, in the age of iPhones, 3-D TV, and other technological marvels. And it's being carried out by people who want control, who want to take us back to pre-industrial times.
So the idea that it can't happen here at some point? Well, to borrow from the academics, that's a mere epistemological bias that may be subject to some concentrated paradigm shift.
Hold on to that second amendment, people. It's the final firewall.

John McCain is more or less an increasingly irrelevant cowardly piece of shit I think
I suppose he's useful as an example of a particularly egregious cowardly piece of shit of the kind that Americans are all to prone to elect to office
but mostly he just needs to fuck off and die

50 years for Pol Pot.
20 years for Rwanda.

Assad puts Stalin's Holodomor starvation policy to work on isolated neighborhoods around Damascus. It's quieter than his other methods like the barrel bombs for the children of Aleppo or Homs. Either way though, it's killing coming or going in the Syrian abbatoir. French imperialism never looked so welcoming as it does today.

Remember how the Arab people were all oppressed and shit when the Brits were in charge and how all that was going to change as soon as they GTFO?
Guess not.
Oppression by European white guys is, like, double secret oppression. And that makes it worse.
Because whiteness.

Ah, yes, the good Senator McCain (R-Arizona) who today took time out from his busy current schedule of leading Ukraine into the grasp of the EUtocracy to ridicule the sanctions Mother Russia's President Putin's had had placed on him. It's nice to see a leading Senator who doesn't let the loss of Crimea take the wind out of his sailing on sailor sails.

Hold on to that second amendment, people. It's the final firewall.
"My excellent colleagues have forgotten these bitter lessons of history. The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

We're not even clear on the full extent of the last slaughterhouses. Beck is hosting this film on his subscription site, The Soviet Story, which shows how closely the USSR cooperated with Hitler during the Holocaust, how they continued the same thing after defeating the Nazis (including targeting Jews and performing awful medical experiments), and how most of it has been covered up, despite what we already know.
Turns out that the European and American Marxists of 100 years ago had a problem with Hitler not because he killed people but because he killed using the wrong criteria. Hitler used ethnicity when he was supposed to be using class. Granted, Jews got targeted in the Soviet Union as well for being bankers and capitalists, but then so did other ethnicities for being too far behind the arc of history — too primitive to catch up to the New Soviet Man. Such as the Finns.
Also, the film shows how the Gestapo and NKVD cooperated tightly in the early murderous campaigns until Hitler attacked Russia. Stalin supplied Hitler with a lot of his killing machinery during the pact years.
And in recent years, a resurgence of National Socialism in Russia has occurred, with them posting snuff films of them killing people with guns and throat slashing, holding aloft swastika flags. Russia dismisses the films as American agitation.
Beck points out that after the Soviet Union collapsed, there were no Nuremberg trials, because the USSR was unrepentant. The Soviet torturers and other war criminals got medals, not trials. Soviets were "allies" so they by definition cannot be war criminals — only Nazis are.
Some people even theorize that the collapse was a global rope-a-dope effort, but I figure it actually did collapse under its own weight, and Putin is using our new trust in Russia as a rope-a-dope.
The 20th-century was a far more evil time than I had before imagined. We hear about 20 million killed by the Soviets but we forget that the people were usually shot one by one in front of open pits, face-to-face with their murderers. The movie says that people like Kruschev, having fulfilled their "cleansing" quotas, went back and asked for more.
All to clear the way for the New People, see. Broken eggs for the omelet.
Don't think they won't do it again to "save the planet."

I'm watching a documentary by Daniel Goldhagen right now called "Worse Than War". So far, 30 mins in, it's very sturdy. In the main, his driving point is that people readily go in for committing genocide.
happyfeet says March 20, 2014 at 9:14 pm
i tried to watch a documentary last night called "knives over forks"
it was retarded and i fell asleep
I'm sure how i feel about genocide per se – it's very bad – but lately i'm not really feeling other people's problems, especially since i live in a brokedick failshit loser country with little or no ability or will to affect world events and such, and what has a VERY spotty record of such sorts of intervenings in the recent past – spotty meaning failmerica's recent foreign adventures have been characterized by cowardice, ineffectuality, and ambivalence.
My advice to people dealing with genocide is to believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself you can't expect anyone else to believe in you.
You have to believe you can fly.
Believe that you can touch the sky.
Just think about it every night and day. Then spread your wings and fly away.
Either that or you should try and ally yourself with the Russians. Those people know how to get shit done.

Jeff, that's a great post.
Happy, to see you sitting up there as the first comment, if I didn't know 'how you are', if I were a visitor, say, checking out Jeff's posts for the first time, and my eyes strayed down to see what kind of comments he attracted, and if I didn't know you were 'special' and 'tolerated' (to a degree), why, I'd be aghast! at the level of discourse here at pw, and would likely leave and never come back.
You sure you're not trained to act the way you do ?

For them it was and is the middle class, the bourgeoisie that needed elimination.
Now consider what we see happening today. All policies are designed to eliminate the middle class, the small businessman, the bourgeoisie. Not by physically killing them but by making their existence as a class impossible.
Same result but a quieter, "kinder", if somewhat slower method. But still in the end those nasty bourgeoisie are gone. Replaced, in the income scale, by Union workers and government functionaries. A more controllable bunch.

And in Venezuela they are a few steps behind Syria but Maduro is moving the process along at a goodly pace.
Maduro said Thursday in a lengthy speech to ruling party officials that the government would continue looking to identify and "neutralize" the country's enemies.
"Neofacism must be eradicated with laws, with the constitution, with consciousness, with values," he said.
Luis Vicente Leon, president of Caracas-based polling company Datanalisis, said the government's recent moves were a step toward radicalizing the country's political process.
"Without a doubt (Maduro) has perceived that the protests are not going to stop so it's best to simply confront them and deal with them harshly," Leon said, adding that the opposition will likely find less room to maneuver because the government seeks to create a sense of fear that anyone even demonstrating peacefully could face danger.
Venezuela's National Assembly on Tuesday voted to start a process to strip opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado of her immunity so they could bring charges against her for allegedly trying to destabilize the government.
Machado, a former presidential candidate, was expected to speak Friday at a meeting of the Organization of American States in Washington about the situation in Venezuela. Because the Venezuelan government controls the country's seat at the organization, Panama has offered Machado its seat to make her presentation to the regional body.

– Judge Alex Kozinski in his dissent to the Ninth Circuit's denial of review in Silveira v. Lockyer
The following from that dissent (which, btw, was later validated by DC vs Heller) is most awesome and feels even more at home around here:
Fortunately, the Framers were wise enough to entrench the
right of the people to keep and bear arms within our constitutional structure. The purpose and importance of that right was
still fresh in their minds, and they spelled it out clearly so it
would not be forgotten. Despite the panel's mighty struggle
to erase these words, they remain, and the people themselves
can read what they say plainly enough:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State, the right of the people to
keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The sheer ponderousness of the panel's opinion—the moun-
tain of verbiage it must deploy to explain away these fourteen
short words of constitutional text—refutes its thesis far more
convincingly than anything I might say. The panel's labored effort to smother the Second Amendment by sheer body
weight has all the grace of a sumo wrestler trying to kill a rattlesnake by sitting on it—and is just as likely to succeed.
SEK wept.

hfeet posted?…damn my scroll wheel must be set on auto skip skippy function…
I thought it was interesting how that there where several articles a couple weeks ago about the Christians and non-muzzies in Nigeria starting to retaliate against Boko Haram. The bent of the couple of articles I scanned where along the lines of complaining about the retaliation.
Its just a damn shame that everyone cant be as ultra-tolerant as the modern progressives what like that UCSB 'fesser Dr. Mireille Miller-Young.

This is reminiscent of the OGPU's Operation Trust turned up to 11.
Carlota Gall of the New York Times describes what — if true — must be the biggest cover up in of all of the Obama administration's checkered history. Her article is titled "What Pakistan Knew About Bin Laden". But it is really about what the Obama administration knew that Pakistan knew about Bin Laden. The answer, as far as she can tell is that Washington knows for a fact that Osama bin Laden was Pakistan's creature. They know it was Pakistan — or factions within it — that ran the whole war on terror.

'In such cases, can the president "declare peace" with a country currently waging war against America?'
In such cases, doesn't it appear that President IWonPenPhone himself is waging war against America? How not? It was declared, after all.

I think the thought process for genocide is about the same as for homicide, flawed and mostly lazy.
I have watched numerous true crime shows (wow there is a whole channel now) and I am always amazed how the non-psychopathic (I assume) murderers can ever think that the best solution to their problem is to kill someone. Just multiply that to think like a Bill Ayers (actually I assume he is a psychopath).
RI Red says March 21, 2014 at 12:00 pm
And if anyone believes that a Schlachthof Vier can't happen in the good old US of A, I'd suggest that there is willful deafness and blindness going on. The abuse of power is a part of the human condition, see e.g. The Book of Genesis and all subsequent history.
dicentra says March 21, 2014 at 12:11 pm
people readily go in for committing genocide
It's much easier than having to deal with their annoying Otherness.
Also, Rush said this morning that Putin is gearing up to expand a bit past the Crimean peninsula: to Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Shoring up his allies, see.
Which, damn. It was one thing for the Gochos to take on Maduro and his goons, even with some Cuban soldiers sprinkled in. It's quite another when neo-Soviet support arrives on their shores.
sdferr says March 21, 2014 at 12:20 pm
There are many links: global warming, for instance, as Limbaugh is expressing right now, is one among many reflected in the drive to be "cool", which we can find in Gutfeld's interview with Beck's Blaze today. These base human motivations — vicious because thoughtless in the mass — tie together quite nicely, even unto mass murder. Beware the cool Malthusian for an ember of the spread of the death upon which they dwell.

We have an elite that lives in its own virtual-reality world circumscribed by a failed ideology, unable to learn from its past mistakes (or even to admit that they were mistakes) and condemned to repeat the same blunders again and again.

Garden-variety murderers only think to Phase Two: Getting Away With It™, and if it's not their first crime they think to it as "until the heat is off," not taking into account that there is no statute of limitations on murder.
Then there are the gangster types who kill to send a message to the living, in which case they count on people knowing and keeping their mouths shut lest it happen next to them.
And not to be discounted are those who reasonably conclude that they and theirs are not safe while Person X lives. It's not self-defense in the eyes of the law, but…

Nice site di…Duke has been on a roll of late…what with all the publicity of their first year paid in full pron actress. I dont want to call her a "star" per se…as that term is tossed around and abused rather loosely in that genre. From what I hear.
There was a book or movie I failed to read/see called "Blood Simple," about why first-time killers make stupid mistakes while trying to get away with it.
Obviously the smart move is to skip the first murder and move on directly to the second.

Published by Berkley Sensation, Penguin Putnam on December 2013
Genres: Sci Fi, Thriller
Format: Paperback
Source: Publisher
There can only be one dominant life form on Earth.
In the remote African wilderness, a rainforest is dying. But something else has come to life: A newly evolved predator that has survived the depredations of mankind, only to emerge from its natural habitat faster, stronger, and deadlier than anything humanity has ever faced.
And it is no longer man.
What if a new predator emerged, and man is now the hunted rather than the hunter?
Trey Gilliard has a reputation for doing things his own way, a habit that can often lead to trouble. An exploration into Senegal leads him to a dying rainforest and a new predator- a wasp previously unknown to man. Unfortunately, this predator now has man in its sights and Trey and an eclectic group of survivors and experts will have to band together if mankind has any hope of surviving this battle.
INVASIVE SPECIES is brilliantly executed! I was a little nervous about reading a book involving any sort of bug, particularly a killer apocalyptic flying and stinging bug, but the book blurb had me intrigued. Thankfully, Joseph Wallace doesn't overly focus on the gruesome details. Rather, Wallace creates an atmosphere that conveys the sheer horror of the entire invasion, from the terror of the actual attacks to the bungling by the government- and it is the atmosphere of impending terror that necessitates reading INVASIVE SPECIES long past one's bedtime.
In fact, James Wallace cost me quite a bit of sleep with INVASIVE SPECIES! Not only is the story so compelling that I had trouble putting it down even to eat or go to work, but the premise is the stuff of nightmares. However, it is the willingness of the human spirit to keep fighting even when all the odds appear stacked against the human species that truly makes INVASIVE SPECIES such a hit. Trey, Sheila, Jack, Kaitlin, and several others never give up and it is their hearts and souls that shine so brightly through the pages of the storyline.
What a spectacular sci fi thriller! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as I just had to know how in the world Joseph Wallace was going to resolve such a catastrophe. I look forward to reading more books by Joseph Wallace as INVASIVE SPECIES is one of the top books I've read this entire year. Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended!

Medical Assistant Certificate
As one of the fastest growing occupations in the nation, medical assistants should see a 58 percent increase in job opportunities in Yavapai, Apache, Coconino and Navajo counties. To meet the growing need, Yavapai College's new Medical Assistant certificate is designed for working students.
Click these buttons to enter into the MA program
If the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics labels an occupation as one of the fastest growing occupations in the next decade, you pay attention!
A medical assistant is the person who welcomes you into the examining room, takes your medical history, temperature, blood pressure, height, weight, and prepares you for the doctor's examination.
Like other areas of healthcare, technology has changed the work environment, and formalized training shortens the on-the-job training that is needed. Medical assistants are now expected to be able to use computers and data bases, know laboratory testing procedures and use more sophisticated instruments.
After completing all of the required courses with a grade of C or better, students who apply for graduation will receive a certificate from Yavapai College and be eligible to sit for a national certification exam through the National Center for competency testing.
Classes begin each semester, including summer.
The program is appropriate for students with no background in allied health or those already working in the field. The only requirement is a current CPR certification, and students can take that concurrently during their first semester or obtain it elsewhere.
Fingerprint clearance and current immunizations are required before entering AHS 121 Medical Assisting II.

Completion of Certificate Programs
In order to post completion of a certificate program on a college transcript, students MUST complete an application for graduation. Students should apply at the beginning of their final semester. Contact Student Life for details.

After a devastating death, can a once-happy family find its way past mutual blame?
Travel through the delights and occasional mishaps of a child's worldview, tumble into a young adult's view of her family falling apart and finally land in the world of the grounded woman of today. Her deep understanding of her mother's love and her own love as a mother embraces her very approach to life, encapsulated like her beloved chrysalis and its emerging butterfly. The resulting pilgimage of self-understanding and acceptance takes the audience on a journey of laughter, music and poignant reflection.

text: While rummaging around Python's complexobject.c looking for code to steal for complex power, I came across the following comment relating to complex division: /****************************************************************** This was the original algorithm. It's grossly prone to spurious overflow and underflow errors. It also merrily divides by 0 despite checking for that(!). The code still serves a doc purpose here, as the algorithm following is a simple by-cases transformation of this one: Py_complex r; double d = b.real*b.real + b.imag*b.imag; if (d == 0.) errno = EDOM; r.real = (a.real*b.real + a.imag*b.imag)/d; r.imag = (a.imag*b.real - a.real*b.imag)/d; return r; ******************************************************************/ /* This algorithm is better, and is pretty obvious: first divide the * numerators and denominator by whichever of {b.real, b.imag} has * larger magnitude. The earliest reference I found was to CACM * Algorithm 116 (Complex Division, Robert L. Smith, Stanford * University). As usual, though, we're still ignoring all IEEE * endcases. */ The algorithm shown, and maligned, in this comment is pretty much exactly what is done in numpy at present. The function goes on to use the improved algorithm, which I will include at the bottom of the post. It seems nearly certain that using this algorithm will result in some speed hit, although I'm not certain how much. I will probably try this out at some point and see what the speed hit, but in case I drop the ball I thought I'd throw this out there as something we should at least look at. In most cases, I'll take accuracy over raw speed (within reason). -tim Py_complex r; /* the result */ const double abs_breal = b.real < 0 ? -b.real : b.real; const double abs_bimag = b.imag < 0 ? -b.imag : b.imag; if (abs_breal >= abs_bimag) { /* divide tops and bottom by b.real */ if (abs_breal == 0.0) { errno = EDOM; r.real = r.imag = 0.0; } else { const double ratio = b.imag / b.real; const double denom = b.real + b.imag * ratio; r.real = (a.real + a.imag * ratio) / denom; r.imag = (a.imag - a.real * ratio) / denom; } } else { /* divide tops and bottom by b.imag */ const double ratio = b.real / b.imag; const double denom = b.real * ratio + b.imag; assert(b.imag != 0.0); r.real = (a.real * ratio + a.imag) / denom; r.imag = (a.imag * ratio - a.real) / denom; } return r;

TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME C Lectionary #120
The things that really matter are often the center of debate and even of family division. How seriously do we take our faith? What would we give up to defend it? As the old question goes: If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Jeremiah 38:4–6, 8–10. Prophets, especially those who were close to the court in Jerusalem, were expected to bring good news and not challenge the authorities. At a time when Jerusalem was under siege, Jeremiah refused to do that, and he suffered accordingly.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (39) 40. This psalm begins as a hymn but turns into a lament. Most of the lament portion is excised from today's responsorial psalm. The imagery of the first few verses corresponds well with the description of Jeremiah's plight.

Hebrews 12:1-4. Witnesses to fidelity despite opposition and challenge (Hebrews 11) bring us to turn our eyes to the greatest witness to faith even in the face of death: Jesus.
Luke 12:49-53. Staying faithful comes at a cost. It may lead to division, even among people who are close to one another. But is the challenge to face and accept just this fact of division, or is it to stay faithful until fidelity brings reunion and peace?

1404 Camino Del Mar
Del Mar, CA 92014
Once again a date with a 72 year old man – that turned out to be 82 after we played "Truth or Consequences" – he wanted me to tell him the truth – did he really look 82 ? – took me to North County for breakfast. I had been to Bully's many times but not to the one in Del Mar; La Jolla when there was one in La Jolla, and to the one in Mission Valley. Bully's is known for their Prime Rib, but I could not stomach the idea of Prime Rib for breakfast so ordered something else. More on that later.
The menu is extensive – Appetizers, Salads and Soups, Prime Rib, Steak and Ribs, a variety of "Surf and Turf" combinations; Shellfish, Fish and Chicken, and for the lunch crowd Sandwiches, Eggs and Omelettes – their spelling , and Lunch Entrees. There are also 4 items on their Dessert menu as well as a "Daily Selection". (It is interesting to note that on their takeout menu and their menu on-line there are no prices listed.) [Read more…]

Hopefully you can convince them because it has to be your FW version.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Yeah I spoke to the guy on the phone. I explained what happened at the other dealer explained there is no tsb. He assured me he would pop the upgrade discs in. He understands we're talking software update, not map discs here. I explained he is an hour away so I don't need him to not find a tsb and tell me I'm updated. I'm pretty confident we're good here. Ill let you know.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Jeez. Ok so I bring the car in and I reiterate all the stuff from my previous post. I say there IS an update.
I'm in the waiting room for a half hour and the service rep comes out and says "guy you were right." I say "I know I'm right." He has my MAP DISC IN HIS HAND. He tells me there is an updated map disc. I explained to him calmly that the issue here wasn't a map disc. It is a firmware update that only the dealer can do. I explain that there are multiple 09 sts owners who had this very problem solved with a firmware update. He goes back in.
Under 10 minutes later he comes back in and asks me to come into the bay and talk to the guy working on my car. I explain the whole story to this guy. I explain the whole 2 disc thing. Everything. He says he has to call GM and ask about it. I tell him I'm afraid GM is not going to see a tsb and tell me to take a walk, my nav is updated. He assures me this won't happen. I even show him luda's post where he copies Pontiacv8's old post showing the 2 discs and showing the part number. He says he has to call. I go back and wait.
Service rep comes back shortly after with my no charge receipt showing a part number for the disc they had to order to fix my nav. They say it could be weeks before they get it in. I say, "this is the disc you can reuse on other cars to update their nav software?" He says yes. He'll call me when the disc comes in. I show him the post this time, the part number of the update discs. He says "we have those but GM says its not for your car. It could freeze up your nav. It's for the older cars." I say ok and I leave.
I come home, and just before I do this post, I google the part number of the nav firmware update disc he will be ordering. 22944166. THE 2013 MAP DISC! F@&$ me.
Any suggestions? I figure ill play his game, go in when he gets the MAP DISC!! it won't work, and then ill tell him to go ahead and use those discs that might "freeze the nav" to upgrade my firmware. What do you think?
I love dealing with unknowledgable, incompetent Cadillac dealers.
Re: No NAV With HUD
I already talked to the place I got my STS from (Rizza Cadillac Buick) and one guy jumped and he said no it wont be done! and the other one said yeah you can order the new map discs and you can do that through our parts department, so I just decided to leave, life too short to argue with them people.
I'll call my guys at Cadillac of Naperville and see what they will say, they are pretty much open minded, you can find all kind of moded cars there and they welcome it with no problem, saw CTS-V one time at their shop with Vette 7.0 LS7.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Nice man thanks. Let me know. Need an open minded dealer. Have a place I can stay at in st Petersburg in Florida, queens ny, and obviously fayetteville nc.
Re: No NAV With HUD
I understand your frustration with your current situation. I would like the opportunity to further discuss the software update with you. If you reach out to us via private message, we are more than happy to look into your situation with you.

Re: No NAV With HUD
Actually Laura, I may just take you up on this one since the knowledge is right here in the forums but non existent at the dealer. I'll let you know shortly if I need you to intervene.
Re: No NAV With HUD
I have those discs (15943724) by the way ...
Re: No NAV With HUD
If you're asking me to drive 1 hr and 40 minutes for a nav update, I'm so in. I gotta see how I'm looking this weekend. I may be able to do Friday. Should I get with you or call service? Thanks a lot by the way.
Perhaps try to just use them to update if that fails then maybe try to use the diag code and put the unit in update mode? To try to force a flash?

Re: No NAV With HUD
Speakin Spanish to me hopefully Chris gets it.
What does it take to open up a tsb. Do you think if this works for me along with the others in the forum, customer service could somehow push for a tsb so future 09 users don't have to go through this crap? I guarantee 80% of the 09s out there are missing this function and don't know, don't care, or tried and failed like I would have if it wasn't for this forum.

Be really careful with that. I'm not sure about the 08s and up, but with the 05s - 07s there is a very specific way that the firmware is updated with the Tech II and CDs.
There have been a few who have hit the update button while in diag mode and they turned their Navs into bricks. Then you have to have a dealer reload the firmware.
Re: No NAV With HUD
all I know is that I have the discs... i've even emailed them to people
the instructions are in the bulletin (as far as I know)
and i think it has been posted a few times (here's one)
being that your car doesn't fall into the bulletin you're taking a risk
my service department might be willing to help out
or i can try and talk to one of the guys and see if they want to do a little side work
but you'll pretty much have to tell them what you want them to do
even for cars that do fall under this bulletin not many people have heard of this or have done nav firmware updates
if someone else has done what you want to do then basically you're just following their lead
so you can kind of be confident in that
if not then you're blazing a trail for others to follow and kind of just have to wing it

Image cropping for your web app in 20 minutes
Cropping from inside the browser is great: it's intuitive and simpler than loading a dedicated image editor. You can crop profile photos, graphics for user profile backgrounds or headers, and any sort of gallery images.
However, adding crop functionality to your uploads or existing images is but another mundane task to deal with, eating up time better spent on new ideas. Try Googling javascript image crop right now. There will be 30+ solutions and even blog posts attempting to describe them as vaguely as possible. What's worse, when you finally pick one that better suits your language and framework of choice, you're confronted with a very specific API, so good luck integrating it into your existing code base.
Everything we do at Uploadcare is directed at combating the mundane. Amongst other things, we offer image crop as SaaS. It will work with any image you throw at us, as long as it has a public URL. You only have to take 4 easy steps and we'll take care of the rest.
Step 1: Register an Uploadcare project
Visit our signup page and register in one easy step. You can use your GitHub or Google accounts for secure one-click sign in.
Upon signup you'll be forwarded to your profile page with your starting information. Your Uploadcare public and private keys are listed in a large font - make a note of them for later.
Step 2: Choose a form for cropping
We're going to need a form in your application we can then enhance with the cropping function, say, a profile edit form. You don't need to enable file uploads (i.e. multipart data), as we simply need the source URL and can integrate cropping in any HTML form.
Step 3: Integrate Uploadcare
We provide a cropping widget served from CloudFlare CDN with guaranteed uptime. Of course you can also download it and serve from your own domain, if you wish to do so.
To apply the widget to your form, add this to the bottom of the
<head> section:
<script>UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY = 'your_public_key';</script>
<script src="https://ucarecdn.com/widget/0.8.1/uploadcare/uploadcare-0.8.1.min.js"></script>
Next, place this tag anywhere on your form, where you'd like the cropping widget to appear.
Copy and paste this code, or create an input like this with your form helpers. Make sure you've replaced
original_image_url with an actual URL of the image you'd like to crop.
Now your form should have a widget like this:
The cropped image will automatically be hosted on our CDN. The UUID of this image will be submitted with your form as the value of the input field you added (named
your_form_field_name in the sample code above).
You can restrict the way cropping is done with the
data-crop attribute, by specifying the desired aspect ratio, as well as the minimum and maximum size, by use of automatic scaling. These options are fully described in widget documentation.
Step 4: Accept the cropped image
In your form submission handle you should have received an UUID (mentioned above). This is the UUID of the cropped version of the image stored on our CDN. It has a publicly-accessible URL:
This is a permalink that can replace the original image URL, where
3addab78-6368-4c55-ac08-22412b6a2a4c is the UUID.
But the image is not automatically available at this URL after a user submits the form. You need to acknowledge that it should be made public, by sending an HTTP request:
POST /files/image_uuid/storage/ HTTP/1.1
Host: api.uploadcare.com
Authorization: Uploadcare.Simple your_public_key:your_private_key
It's a simple POST with a special
Authorization header. Of course
your_public_key, and
your_private_key should be replaced with their real values.
Alternatively, there are Uploadcare libraries for a number of programming languages and frameworks that will do this storage request for you.
That's it!
You've just given your users the ability to crop images, and without breaking a sweat. Well done.
The widget you've seen is also open source. If you're not satisfied with it out of the box, feel free to fork around it and change it to your liking. And we're also always happy to receive pull requests.

- Joaquín Murieta - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1830?-53?). Was he a hero or a villain? Did he really exist at all? In the early 1850s Mexican immigrant Joaquin Murieta was real to Californians; he was wanted, dead or alive, for robbery. He was a hero to Mexicans who resented the prejudice they faced in the United States. Some scholars today believe his story to be no more than a legend.

How Marc Vetri Learned to Stop Worrying About His Stutter and Love Working with Wolfgang Puck
Puck instilled a sense of confidence in Vetri that helped the then young chef overcome his own misconceptions about his speech disorder.
Puck instilled a sense of confidence in Vetri that helped the then young chef overcome his own misconceptions about his speech disorder.
Surprisingly, Vetri chose an American made oven over one imported from Italy.
Act now if you're interested, there's only 100 tickets available.
Nothing syas springtime quite like a frosty farmhouse ale.
The new work is part autobiography, part travelogue, and part cookbook.
Act fast, the tickets won't be available for very long.
Costumes are encouraged, and will be rewarded with beer.
The Lombard Twenty goes on at Meritage, while Fond offers deals on its bar menu.
Rounding up the region's restaurant reviews.
Looks pizzas will continue trending for the foreseeable future.
The chef believes that lunchrooms are just as important as classrooms.
The latest venture from the chef's chef will serve pizzas, and not a lot more.
They had us at Italian Nachos!
The suburban venture will feature a similar menu as its North Broad Street predecessor.
Last year alone, Vetri and his team raised more than $1 million for the childhood cancer foundation.
Though the bar's set higher for gastropubs, there's still plenty of room for fine and fun dining.
The new brew was made exclusively for the restaurant by Dock Street.
For the first one in January, they are hosting Chicago's Publican.
Leonti often posts drool-woorthy photos to Twitter under the handle VetriCucina.
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you can still take part in this time-honored Italian tradition.

Paula Deen fired by Walmart
And Paula-gate 2013 continues unabated, as the popular TV chef has now been dropped by Walmart.
Walmart just released a statement about the decision, saying, "We are ending our relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises and we will not place new orders beyond those already committed."
The retail superstore is the latest business partner to cut ties with Deen following the controversy surrounding her use of the n-word in a deposition several years ago. In the past week, Deen has been dropped by Food Network, the Caesars casino company, and the ham company Smithfield.
Deen gave a tearful interview on The Today Show this morning, breaking down during her interview with Matt Lauer.
"If there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wish they could take back … please pick up that stone and throw it so hard at my head that it kills me."
Even if many of her fans have forgiven her, it seems as though it will take a long time before corporate sponsors do the same.

Siemens Secures Order For First US Carbon-Neutral Pipeline Compressors
Siemens Energy has received an order in the U.S. for the supply of three pipeline compressor trains from Ruby Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of El Paso Pipelines. The pipeline compressors feature electric drives and will be deployed at the head station in Roberson Creek, Wyoming. Through the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources, carbon offsets or renewable energy credits, Ruby will become the first CO2-neutral pipeline in the U.S.
The Siemens scope of supply encompasses three STC-SV(08-5-A) pipeline compressors, three 17-megawatt electric motors and three perfect-harmony drives. The 621-mile-long (1,000-kilometer-long) pipeline is around 42" (one meter) in diameter and will transport approximately 35 to 42 million cubic meters (1.3 to 1.5 Bcf) of natural gas per day from the Rocky Mountains to the west coast of the U.S. The pipeline will provide needed supply diversity to the states of Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada and Washington. The equipment trains will be packaged at the company's facility in Houston, Texas.
The Siemens pipeline portfolio encompasses compressors with electric drives or gas turbine drives, transformers, substations, breakers and automation, communications and safety equipment. These solutions contribute toward meeting customer requirements such as pipeline operational reliability, safety, efficiency and operability.
The compressor trains are scheduled to be shipped in the summer of 2010 and the pipeline is expected to begin operation in early 2011.
