Texans beware: The U.S. Postal service knows exactly why your packages from California smell vaguely like skunks.
Gordon Cellum.
Gordon Bryan Cellum, 35, from the (far) South Texas town of Edcouch found that out the hard way this week after federal agents busted him mailing four pounds of ganja and 105 e-cigarettes loaded with THC to himself. If we were subjected to the awful dirt weed Cellum was no doubt accustomed to down there, we'd probably consider the same thing.
U.S. Postal Service inspectors busted Cellum after finding packages loaded with the cannabis goodies back in October that stunk up the office like herb apparently. After cracking them open, the agents found the cache vacuum-wrapped (Editor's note: apparently not well enough). The packages were addressed to Cellum's mother and the mother of his girlfriend -- neither of whom were charged.
Cellum's excuse: he's addicted to weed and all of it was for his personal use. Addicted to weed. Cannabis, the non-addicted substance? Really. That makes you and Lady Gaga, dude. That's it.
According to KGBT news in Harlingen, Texas, Cellum has previous charges for drug possession as well as conspiracy to commit murder. He now faces federal charges. In Texas. For several pounds of pot and concentrates.
Should have just stayed in California and had someone ship your stuff to you instead, man.
More links from around the web!
Ya this guy definitely didn't do it right. I've shipped myself several pounds at a time using bags called Gonzo Bags. I found them online. They're 100% SMELL PROOF even to Canines and last for months on end. They're becoming pretty popular in California, too bad this guy didn't figure it out in time.
bad idea...
LISTEN UP! If he'd used a GONZO BAG, he'd still be free. These bags are AMAZING! If you vacuum seal your stuff first, then place it in a Gonzo Bag, even the dogs can't smell it (that's their tag line) and it's true! I've used these bags now for a couple years and have shipped and received through USPS without a single problem. They really do what they say they will. Check them out at www.gonzobags.com. AND they are reusable! Best insurance I can buy.
Oh nd btw 4 pounds for personal use don't be stupid lmao.
=/ better measure's to keep it smell proof needed should have thought twice about sending more then a lb of kind thru the mail. Think how bad that would smell when handled crush a head bud woops ups hub smells like dank.
idiot shoulda used a better shipping service. the more privately owned, the less they give a shit.
Oo so it's an unrelated charge
he isn't being charged with murder, he was *previously* charged with murder.
Tyler Liggett is he seriously getting charged for murder?
Whys he being charged for MURDER?!!

dum ass
And now, there's a dry spell in Texas due to his ignorance.. Ruining it for everyone else Tsk tsk tsk
Whos stupid enough!!! hahahahahha
Should have made cookies and brownies then sent them. Eatables is the way to ship
I find Cannabis to be physically addictive. If I don't vape after a day or so I can't sleep, lose appetite, sweat profusely, become depressed, and become extremely agitated.
The worst part about cannabis cessation is how long withdrawal persists.
Of coarse he said he was addicted and it was personal. You don't just tell the Feds your a drug dealer!!!
People DO use USPS to ship their dank, they just make sure it's air tight first..
oh my god what a HIGHLY dangerous individual... hurry hurry lock him up
This guy is a dumb asss, but please don't ru it in and tell everyone how shitty are weed is her. No our dros good lol
you can be mildy addicted if you smoke all day everyday like I do...it happens to me so yeah....if I don't have any to smoke I get irritated easily, bad mood, etc...obviously not to the degree of other drugs but there is obviously a small level of addiction. just like anything else, be it jerking off or caffeine, we do it everyday to where it is a part of daily life and when its gone you know its gone and you want MORE. meh everyone is different but as far as me and most the people I know this is the truth. but I grow it so I usually don't run out!!!
The prohibition of Marijuana is nothing short of the most widespread, pervasive discrimination against a group of Americans occurring in this country today. As much as I enjoy the partaking of the herb and the company of those who enjoy that partaking, I can feel no sympathy for this brain-dead man who has, through his thoughtlessness, provided the reason for the haters to keep the hate alive.
this dude is from my town
"Should have just stayed in California and had someone ship your stuff to you instead, man. " truer words have never been spoken by mankind, dude.
Hey chief how dumb u gotta be to just roll up to the post office ......stupid
Yeah it's pathetic they should be lookin for anthrax not weed cigs lol
Joseph Brackett
Yeah definitely DO NOT use the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE hahahahaha
He probably posted he was doing it on FB or some stupid shit how the fuck do you get caught doing that people get qps in the mail all the time. No uc mailmen either!!
thts fucked he got.introuble fer sendin weed ta hes mom...
I would be happy to just do away with d t 's. Legial or not we have it we grow it we use it.
Your burning it for everyone shut the Fuck up
TEXAS!?!?! dork
Ik him
you cant get addicted to Marijuana . How DUMB IS THIS KID
@Brian Christenson = completely clueless to reality, as are most stoners.
The USPS needs a WARRANT to open packages, which means they need probable cause in advance, which means the package/stoner is an epic failure.
The private services -- UPS, FedEx, DHL -- do NOT need a warrant to open and inspect any package given to them, they can and do open and inspect packages all the time, and any contraband is reported to the police / DEA for further prosecution. They also receive rewards and incentives for such information.
Two people were arrested and two Dayton homes were raided Thursday as part of a multi-agency investigation in which large amounts of marijuana-laced candy was seized.
The Montgomery County RANGE Task Force and U.S. Postal Inspectors, assisted by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, served search warrants at homes in the 200 block of Park Drive and the 100 block of South Sperling Avenue, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
An estimated 30 pounds of hashish, known on the street as hash, was infused into chocolate bars and gummy bears that were delivered in a USPS package to the home on Park Drive, according to the sheriff's office.
@Kay Twiggs Williams = Fail!

Many stories made the rounds Saturday at a public memorial attended by more than 1,000 for Marv Harshman on the practice court named after him on the UW campus.
Erik Connelly was a 12-year-old boy attending a Washington basketball game back in the mid-1970s. His dad, who had dropped him off and gone to the Seattle Art Museum, was late picking him up, and by now, the lights were dimmed at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, and the crowds had gone home.
A car pulled up to Connelly and the driver offered a ride home. The boy turned it down, but he never forgot the gesture, because it came from Marv Harshman, UW basketball coach, who 10 years later would be in the Naismith Hall of Fame.
That story, and a lot of others, made the rounds Saturday at a public memorial attended by more than 1,000 for Harshman on the practice court named after him on the UW campus. Almost a month after his death at 95, it was a day of appreciation for Harshman the man more than the coach who divided a 40-year career among Pacific Lutheran, Washington State and Washington.
"Harsh was a guy I always felt was really comfortable in his own skin," said Steve Hawes, former UW and NBA center who played under Harshman early in the coach's UW tenure. "He didn't pull any punches."

Lorenzo Romar, the Huskies coach, played for Harshman, partly on the recommendation of another coach of some renown. While Romar was being recruited, he had a chance meeting with John Wooden, the famed UCLA coach, and asked him what he thought he should do.
"I'm thinking, 'Who would know better than the Wizard of Westwood?' " Romar said. "He didn't hesitate. He said: 'If you have a chance to play for Marv Harshman, I don't think you should pass that up. He's one of the finest men, and one of the finest coaches in the country.' "
Romar, a junior-college transfer, admitted there were times he felt he should be playing more. But he said, "He was a man who never lied to me."
Harshman's son, Dave, who played for him at Washington State and later was an assistant coach with the Sonics, emceed the event, and the family was a prominent part of the remembrances. Harshman and his wife, Dorothy, were married 66 years before her passing.
"Coach loved his wife," said Romar. "And he wasn't keeping it on the down-low. And you could tell how proud he was of his boys. He always kept his family first."
Early in the event, Dave Harshman ducked behind a podium and popped up wearing a set of Groucho Marx glasses and mustache, identical to the ones several Huskies donned during a pregame warmup when they one-upped the Oregon Ducks, who regularly used a stare-down tactic under coach Dick Harter back in the 1970s.
Jud Heathcote, Harshman's lieutenant at Washington State before he won a national title at Michigan State, recalled how he would needle him in introductions at events.
"One of the greatest athletes in history," Heathcote said. "He was an All-American in basketball and an All-American in football. But before you get carried away with those accomplishments, remember, there weren't very many Americans back then."
"The man could coach," said Bob Houbregs, the most decorated Washington player in history (1950-53) and in later years, a close friend of Harshman.
Sometimes loudly, players at all three of his stops agreed.
"It was, 'Rock,' or 'Rockhead, what were you thinking?' " said Detlef Schrempf, the former Washington forward whom Harshman called the best player he ever coached. "But he forgot about it the next day. That was really appealing."
Harshman won 637 games but amassed a greater number of friends.
"It wasn't about the wealth, or the cars you drove, or the toys you collected," Schrempf said.
"He had a rich life."

BOSTON A new study is warning that if left unchecked, the ongoing loss of forests in Massachusetts will undermine land conservation, threaten water quality and limit natural protections from the harsher aspects of climate change.
The two-year study released Wednesday by researchers at Harvard University and the Smithsonian Institution projects how the state's forests could change over the a 50-year period under four different scenarios.
The researchers used computers to look at the state acre-by-acre and model changes over time for each of the scenarios.
The study concludes that best scenario for both Massachusetts residents and the natural environment is one where forests are actively managed and protected from encroaching development.
The study's lead author Jonathan Thompson said the study is the first of its kind for an entire state.

Called the Prince of Preachers, Charles Spurgeon's words continue to hold the same power and relevancy today as they did in the nineteenth century. Strengthen My Spirit collects into 366 daily readings extracts from some of Spurgeon's most powerful and moving sermons. The most widely read preacher in history, except those in the Bible, Spurgeon was known for his passionate, practical preaching, fervency for the Gospel and the saving of souls, and his unwavering commitment to the truth of the Bible. With daily readings like Blessings Indeed, Draw Closer to Jesus, and Love and Obey, your spirit will truly be strengthened. Spend a year with Spurgeon, and you will find your heart softer, your faith stronger and your life more joyful and filled with Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1894) converted to Christianity at the age of fifteen. By the time he was twenty-two, he was the most popular preacher of his time. He frequently spoke to crowds numbering over 10,000 in the days before electronic amplification. A prolific writer, many of Spurgeon's works remain in print to this day.

How can I write or draw controls to the Windows 7 preview area using C#? For an example of what I am talking about, open Windows Media Player in Windows 7 and play a song. While the song is playing, minimize Windows Media player, then hover your mouse over the Windows Media Player icon and you will see a pause, rewind and fast forward button just below the actual Media Player preview window. How can I duplicate this kind of behavior in C#?
You're looking for Windows 7 Thumbnail Toolbars:
Copied shamelessly from that MSDN article:
Since this had the C# tag I'm guessing you would like to do this in managed code. Take a look at the Windows API Code Pack which includes samples of live thumbnails, thumbnail buttons, clipped thumbnails, tabbed thumbnails etc. It is thumbnail buttons that you are looking for and two or three lines of code will take care of it.
BTW, the preview area is what you get in Windows explorer when you select say a .txt file and can see the content to the right. Most office files have previewers and you can write your own too.
That's the thumbnail area:
Setting a Bitmap in Windows 7 thumbnail preview (C#)

3D Printing? It's the Software Stupid!

When we think about 3D Printing our mind often moves quickly to the physical object, its shape, material and other tangible aspects. We know it was once a CAD model and that software was somehow involved, but it is easy to forget quite how sophisticated the software driven process could be in a 3D Printing process.

text: Report,This triathlon/race season has been one for me to remember. I have a total of 10 races of varying distances on the calendar. After taking 2012 off for basically burning out, I had a renewed vigor coming into this season. I had been running, training, biking, all winter hoping to prepare for this season. I run this race a guide to see how I am improving year to year. First, I need to learn to swim. I am the worst swimmer (everyone says that but i can prove it). I do not practice swimming and need to. I joined a masters group but had only met a couple of times before this event. The week leading up to the Celebrating heroes, was one where I really did almost no training. I had been training hard and wanted to be fresh for this race. I did 2 swim sessions and thats it. I was running and biking a great deal prior to the week of this event. I also was on my own (until the MMTC folks) as my family could not make it. With a two year old, and living in Rockville, it is simply too early to wake my son up and be in a good mood. I had racked my bike the day before and got rest (what I could). Is it just me or do others not really sleep the night of a race when we should get more sleep. Weird. I also decided a good time for me this year would be 1:50:00.Got up at 4:30, coffee, banana, whole wheat bagel in tow. Arrived at 5:45. Fresh, ready to go. Looked at the lake, the swim looked long, head sank. I was in the third swim heat at 7:15. It was a bit humid but not too hot. I could deal. I had a goal to not do breastroke. None whatsoever. In order to do this, I figured I would find a slow pace that I could freestyle with and keep going. Gun goes off. I start very slow but consistent. I managed to keep the freestyle going other than a few breast strokes here and there from bumping into others and vice versa. My time however was not impressive. 1k swim, 26:57 or 2:38 minute 50's. 370 overall on the swim. Ugh. Out of the water, breathing hard transition a bit slow but managed. You come out of transition up a hill with your bike shoes on ( need to learn how to keep the shoes on the bike, goal for next year). By the time it was over, really doing almost nothing, I had a 2:08 transition, average (normally I am very fast) and then on to the bike. Whew.I was flying. I have never felt so good on my bike. Hills I took slow, straights and down hills I humped it. Time: 46:43, 20.5 MPH 47 overall. Great bike time. And I could improve it even more. On to the run. By this point, I was tired from really pushing on the bike. I am a runner and typically do really well. I was cramping a bit from the humidity and decided not to really hurt myself. The run is hilly and a bit farther than a 5k. I was hoping before the race to do 7min miles. Not meant to be today. i ended up with a 26:39 run, at 7:51 per mile. 90th overall. Then the good news. I finished in 1;43;34 which was 7 minutes faster than I had planned. Ended up in 90th place overall and 18 in the age group. Looking forward to next year and improving the swim.JA

You Can't Say No, in Acapulco
Acapulco holds a special place in the annals of the 20th Century. An invention of the post-war economic boom, it's still a story of mid-century extravagance, opulence and glamor, all with a bad boy's instinct for a little bit of fun.
One of the earliest beach destinations to really attract international attention, crowds and then burgeoning young airlines hoping to ferry mass tourists, today's Acapulco is more sophisticated, more exclusive and more beautiful.
The Park Royal Acapulco is pleasantly perched on one of the Acapulco area's famously jagged cliffs, with dramatic views of the entire bay.
Eating Out in Acapulco
From the most sophisticated international dishes to delicious fare more typical of the region, Acapulco is still a culinary masterpiece.
One of the few places in Mexico that spectacularly confronts and collides with Asian cuisine, Acapulco offers some truly world class chefs preparing challenging and exciting fare in a variety of settings.
Of course, our Concierge also recommends a range of seafood establishments from the cut-rate, right off the boat, to high end, sophisticated fine dining that highlights your own good taste.
Acapulco Shopping
Wooden Masks & Sculpture
Don't think tourist art, beach art, jewelry store art. Acapulco is in the Mexican State of Guerrero which produces some of the greatest traditional carved wooden and paper maché masks and painted sculpture available anywhere in the country. You can find true bargains, but even in touristy Acapulco, prices are normally very reasonable. Check the area around the Zocalo and the Artisans' Market near Plaza Bahia.
Pack light! The Diana outdoor market (near the Diana traffic cirlce Condesas colonia on La Costera) has terrific deals on flip flops, beachwear, trunks and linen, sports clothes and even some leather wear if you want to look sharp on your night out. Open late, the prices are good and your suitcase will thank you.
Need more? Our Concierge will be happy to direct you to one of Acapulco's upscale shopping centers!
Coconut & Guava Candies
Coconuts you might take or leave. But guava? Let's face it. Most people in the English language world think this is some furry little animal. The tropical fruit is a wonderful accompaniment to all the coconut you could ever want. Traditional, low in fat, it's also ravenously delicious and not something you're going to easily forget.
Blankets & Textiles
It's not just that they won't break on the way home. You'll find incredible bargains on hand woven and embroidered blankets, wraps, scarves, table cloths, and all kinds of incredible things made from cloth. Avoid the really heavily tourist places hawking silk-screens and head for the artists markets or the street stalls where you'll even find deals on beautifully crocheted items and hand sewed lace napkins. Of course, you can stuff your suitcase and still get everything home in one piece.
Silver Jewelry
Those mountains beyond the city, in the direction that no one is ever looking, have been mined for centuries for precious silver. A long tradition of smithing and jewelry craft delivers exceptional pieces down from the highlands to the port of Acapulco where you'll find varieties of dramatic high quality settings showing off Mexican fire opals among other precious stones. Check for the ".925" stamped on the back. More serious silver sleuthers should inquire with the Concierge about a day trip to the beautiful colonial city of Taxco. The round trip takes just about 12 hours.
Acapulco Nightlife!
Culture: Old & New
The past 70 years of Acapulco history were exciting enough. But of course, the area had been inhabited for at least 1,200 years before that. If all that beach and sun has you listless there is no shortage of high culture to take in. The Fort of San Diego Museum and the House of Masks both win rave reviews from the world over. Just 50 minutes from the bay, a recently discovered ancient site called Tehuacalco includes the remains of a ball court, residential spaces and temple space. Right in the city, the amphitheater on the slopes of Mount Veladero is home to multiple thousand year old petroglyphs and a museum at the Palma Sola archaeological site.

Cliff Diving at la Quebrada!
Synonymous with Acapulco are the world famous La Quebrada cliff divers. Nightly cliff diving exhibitions can include dinner at El Mirador restaurant or, for a bit less, join the crowds at a number of viewing platforms. The world's most famous divers jump once in the afternoon, and 25 minute performances are scheduled throughout evenings from about 7PM. The folks from La Quebrada will even pick you up from the Park Royal, and deliver you back after the show. You get a front row seat for the longest lived entertainment anywhere on the coast.

El Rollo Water Park
El Rollo Water Park is a family fun park perfect for families with kids, small groups and even for larger parties. With a wave pool, miles and miles of water slides and the area's best dolphin swimming and education center, it's always high on the list of Acapulco area attractions. There's also water toboggans and tube rides, an amazing hot air balloon trip, all-day seal and dolphins shows and the world famous Tornado ride.

La Isla Shopping Village
A high-end shopping center, La Isla Shopping Village opened in 2008 in Acapulco's Punta Diamante neighborhood. With both Liverpool and Palacio de Hierro, Mexico's two leading department store chains, calling La Isla home it's the place to shop in Acapulco. There are also 144 shops, a man-made canal, plenty of outdoor cafes and fountains and always an incredible bargain. With a 10-screen movie theater, an aquatic entertainment park with a pool and dolphins and two night clubs, it's the place to be on the Acapulco coast.
What's There to Do in Acapulco?
Isla La Roqueta
Isla de la Roqueta is the stunning green island in the bay and the focal point for people looking out to sea from all over Acapulco. Beautiful Playa Roqueta beach is among the most perfect spots for scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and some truly delightful sea side restaurants for lunch. Larger boat tours will stop on the island and a variety of glass-bottom boat tours are available to and from the island and all around where the fish are plentiful. There's an underwater statue of the Virgin of Gaudalupe and, onshore, a small zoo that's home to some of the island's more exotic inhabitants. Hiking to remote Playa Marin rewards visitors with some of the most unspoiled beach in the area.
What's There to Do in Acapulco?
Papagayo Eco-Park
Papagayo is an amazing Eco-Park right in the city that offers a bunch of outdoor fun for the whole family. With a life-size model of a Spanish galleon, a race track with Can Am cars, a replica of the Space Shuttle Columbia, a lagoon with bumper boats, and a giant-sized botanical garden, it's one of the best loved municipal parks in the country. All set around a beautiful lake, there are literally hundreds of birds and unique activities like rafting tours on the Papagayo river rapids, kayaking, rock climbing, bungee jumping and hiking tours.

Gordon Henderson
Education: Studied medicine, University of California; studied fashion design, Parsons School of Design, New York, 1981-83. Career: Assistant designer, Calvin Klein, 1984; formed own company, 1985; launched lower priced "But, Gordon" line, 1990; signed exclusive contract with Saks Fifth Avenue, 1992; designed wedding suit for John F. Kennedy Jr., 1996; design critic at student fashion shows, from late 1990s. Awards: Council of Fashion Designers of America Perry Ellis award, 1989.
Versatile separates. Dressing with ease. These American sportswear tenets are the meat and potatoes of Gordon Henderson's fashion. Although young, he has shown the discipline of engaging in no design that is superfluous and of giving the customer what she wants— garments that can be multipurpose and mixable in a wardrobe, favoring fashion that is neither flamboyant nor expensive. Henderson is anomalous among designers making a mark in the late 1980s in adhering so intensely to the sportswear ethos, never succumbing to the glamour of high-priced fashion. His penchant for vegetable and earth colors seems even politically correct in the ecology-aware 1990s.
He is, as Woody Hochswender of the New York Times, "a realist." Such sportswear orthodoxy and awareness to design's realization in sales made Henderson the "hottest new designer" on Seventh Avenue, New York, according to the Wall Street Journal on September 1990. As there is a pragmatism to Henderson's view of fashion, there is a corresponding restraint in the designer. Photogenic enough to pose for a Gap advertisement (wearing denim) and for selection as one of People magazine's beautiful people, Henderson provides a beguiling and handsome personal accompaniment to his plain message of fashion modesty. For Hochswender, Henderson is "a designer many are calling the first important new talent of the 1990s." Henderson told Kevin Haynes, "People identify me as doing classics with a twist—it sounds like a drink to me. But there's beauty in using relatively inexpensive fabrics and treating them like they're very expensive. I don't like people getting uptight with clothes."
The ideal Henderson client would be a woman who shops for other labels and perhaps even buys basics at the Gap or other retailers, allowing the Henderson separates to work as accent pieces. "You can take the clothes and put them together for career women," Henderson told Nina Darnton, "or combine them for weekend or evening. That's what the 1990s are about—servicing your customer in the way she needs." Even beyond his eponymous line, Henderson created "But, Gordon," an even more responsive, inexpensive line with its name coming from stores who liked certain garments, but wanted them at lesser prices, whining, "but, Gordon…" again and again until the designer acquiesced with a secondary line.
When one examines Henderson's work, one realizes its appeal as fashion basics, from simple dresses to halter tops, beautifully cut trousers, and other wardrobe-building elements. Inevitably, one designer he acknowledges as a favorite is Claire McCardell, whose ingenuity with materials and basic sportswear elements is recapitulated in Henderson's imagination with materials and flair for a simple, uncluttered style. Henderson's lyrical summer dresses, bandeaux, and capelet jackets reflect the spirit of McCardell. His slightly off-beat colors (occasioned in part by necessity and in part by a commitment to the earth) and his love of plaids and checks also align Henderson with McCardell. But Henderson also admires Chanel, an admiration evident in his very serviceable boxy jackets.
McCardell, however, works better as a Henderson muse since she realized the sensibility of suburbs and country (Henderson was brought up in California.) There is something so unabashedly price-conscious and trend-avoiding about Henderson's clothing that it becomes almost antiurban. And it may be precisely the gleeful suburban, campus, low-pressure calm that makes his work so attractive to a broad audience. After all, the working woman is no longer an exclusive phenomenon of the big city, but a staple of suburban lifestyle as well. Henderson also says of his work at Calvin Klein, "I learned everything there. He gives you consistency, and he's so clean and precise it's almost ridiculous. He can take a good idea and go on with it forever."
Henderson has produced a promising prospect of his own "forever" in a consistent and compelling vision of sportswear separates kept at a reasonable price for both American and international customers. Fashion, which has a tendency to drift upward, even among designers who start out with the intention of serving the broadest public, has not corrupted Henderson. He continues to give every sign of being different: reaching the top of his field by adamantly and effectively staying at the bottom of the price ranges, and in giving something back to the industry. In the late 1990s he acted as a design critic for student fashion shows at institutions such as the Parsons School of Design and Marist College. He also gained notice, in September 1996, as the designer of the blue suit worn by the late John F. Kennedy Jr. during his wedding to the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a former Calvin Klein publicist and a friend of Henderson's.
As of July 2000, Henderson was reported by the website Urbangoods.com as planning to open a New York City gift and home furnishings store in partnership with artist Conan Hayes. His loyal clients, no doubt, are looking forward to this next endeavor.

Peschard, Isabelle (2011) Is Simulation an Epistemic Substitute for Experimentation? [Preprint]
|PDF - Submitted Version
Download (290Kb) | Preview
It is sometimes said that simulation can serve as epistemic substitute for experimentation. Such a claim might be suggested by the fast-spreading use of computer simulation to investigate phenomena not accessible to experimentation (in astrophysics, ecology, economics, climatology, etc.). But what does that mean?
The paper starts with a clarification of the terms of the issue and then focuses on two powerful arguments for the view that simulation and experimentation are 'epistemically on a par'. One is based on the claim that, in experimentation, no less than in simulation, it is not the system under study that is manipulated but a system that 'stands-in' for it. The other one highlights the pervasive use of models in experimentation.
It will be argued that these arguments, as compelling as they might seem, are each based on a mistaken interpretation of experimentation and that, far from simulation and experimentation being epistemically on a par, they do not have the same epistemic function, do not produce the same kind of epistemic results.

If a video released earlier today is any indication, the official PlayStation Blog and Sony are ready to start hyping the reveal of PlayStation 4 on February 20.
The video, titled "Evolution of PlayStation: The Beginning," plays like a documentary and talks at length about the development and release of the original PlayStation. Social Media Manager Sid Shuman had this to say on the console that started it all:
"PlayStation's arrival to the world of gaming signaled a change in the status quo and a sign of things to come. The original PlayStation system emerged in 1994 in Japan as a dark horse challenger, a seemingly outgunned newcomer entering a crowded field dominated by legends of the 16-bit era. PlayStation's advanced technology and innovative controller design won raves with critics and gamers, and in 1995, the system expanded to North America, Europe, and Australia. Accompanied by a powerful salvo of titles including WipEout, Crash Bandicoot, and Gran Turismo, PlayStation's rapid rise marked the end of one era of videogames and the dawn of another. The world was never the same."
The blog post ends by inviting readers to visit PlayStation's YouTube page in the coming days as the evolution of PlayStation is further explored leading up to next week's PlayStation Meeting, where the world will witness the next evolution of PlayStation.
For more on PS4 and the future of PlayStation, stay glued to PSU.com for exclusive coverage and insight. We'll have exciting details to share with you very, very soon.

The scheduled EMT and DMT dates are an attempt to best accommodate schedules. The upcoming DMT training may also involve a 3-day refresher training. In order to attend the DMT as a refresher, current DMT's must document twenty-four of recent clinical experience. If they are unable to attain this level, then they do not qualify for refresher training, but rather should attend the 5-day Basic DMT, provided EMT certification is current. It is difficult for NDC to arrange the required clinical hours with limited number of emergency room training slots. Please inform NDC as to your status and intentions if you are considering attending this training.
Technical diving is gradually becoming accepted as a viable method for in-situ work at depths between 130 and 300 feet. For those unfamiliar with "tech diving", it entails using different breathing gas mixtures at different depths to mitigate effects of narcosis, oxygen toxicity and optimize decompression. Divers carry three types of breathing media; trimix (a bottom mix composed of oxygen, nitrogen and helium), nitrox (the travel mix for intermediate depths), and oxygen (the shallow water deco gas).
In August 1998, the NMFS Honolulu Lab implemented tech diving to study the foraging habitat of the endangered monk seal. Annual diver surveys until this point were restricted to the shallows, near the remote atoll of French Frigate Shoals, where seals were assumed to be primarily foraging. Recent video studies, however, indicated that seals were also foraging on deeper slopes. Fish counts made by divers, when compared to video footage indicated the latter did not fully represent the community present. The observations, made by using this new tool, improved researchers understanding of the target habitat. Despite this success, it is important to understand, that tech diving must be cost and time effective to be of much scientific value. Low overhead, high yield operations are the goal of any scientific program – a goal further challenged by operations in remote areas.
Annual dive locker inspection results are now due. Please take the time to do a thorough inventory and assessment of the preparedness of your support equipment for the new year. Submit inspection reports to your respective LODO.
The following organizations have reciprocity at the Working Diver level for 1999: The National Park Service (NPS), U.S. EPA, U.S. Navy, NURC/University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The colleges, universities and organizations that are current members of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) have reciprocity at the Scientific level. Reciprocity divers must meet current certification criteria from sponsoring agencies and have status verified by sponsoring agencies Diving Safety Officer (DSO). They must produce a copy of the reciprocity agreement and have completed a dive within 6 weeks of NOAA operations. Reciprocity divers may dive from NOAA owned or contract vessels and may complete tasks at the level of reciprocity (Scientific or Working). Divers must follow NOAA Diving Safety Rules.
Oxygen as a prescription medicine for therapeutic uses cannot be dispensed or used unless under the direction of a licensed health provider with prescriptive authority. The FDA, however, recognizes the role oxygen plays in medical emergencies, when there is no time to obtain a prescription. FDA's position is that medical oxygen cylinders affixed with the following statement can be filled: "For emergency use only when administered by properly trained personnel for oxygen deficiency and resuscitation. For all other medical applications -CAUTION– Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription." In order to comply with the requirements of 21CFR 353(b)(4), stickers should be affixed to each medical oxygen cylinder. Contact NDC with the number of stickers required by your unit.

Mexico's vanquished ruling party stages a comeback
MEXICO CITY Raul Enrique Trujillo was 6 years old when voters kicked Mexico's long-ruling party out of the presidency after decades of government by corruption and coercion. Now 18, he'll cast his first vote to bring back them back.
It's a comeback many thought impossible. But the 2012 presidential campaign, which officially begins Friday, is the Institutional Revolutionary Party's race to lose.
PRI candidate Enrique Pena Nieto starts the 90-day campaign, set by electoral law, with more than a 10-point lead in most polls over Josefina Vazquez Mota of the now-governing National Action Party, or PAN. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, known as the PRD, trails in third.
Though the PRI lost the presidency in 2000 after ruling 71 years with an iron fist, it has maintained the political machinery of eight decades, not to mention two-thirds of Mexico's 31 governors.
The hope for democratic change that swept the PRI's opponents into the presidency has evaporated. People are weary of President Felipe Calderon's bloody assault on organized crime after 47,000 deaths and many are nostalgic for a party that, for all its faults, brought Mexico into the modern era without the coups, revolutions and civil wars that plagued the rest of Latin America.
The party has been fast out of the blocks this election season with the charismatic, Kennedy-handsome Pena Nieto, 45, who carries the message of a "new PRI" that has learned from its mistakes. Party leaders say it has a whole new slate of young candidates who are more democratic and didn't work under the old regime.
"The best thing that could have happened to the PRI, in a certain sense, is to have lost in 2000," said Francisco Guzman, Pena Nieto's 31-year-old chief of staff. "A loss makes you see what you have to do, how you have to adapt to change."
But the comeback has been helped by the shortcomings of rival parties as much as a yearning for the return of the PRI.
The young Trujillo initially wanted to vote for Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, a moderate member of the PRD whose term has seen the capital become safer and more environmentally conscious. But the party instead went with Lopez Obrador, an old-style politician who narrowly lost the presidency in 2006 to Calderon.
Like many Mexicans, who share enormous cynicism when it comes to their political class, Trujillo says he will support the "menos peor" - the lesser evil among the choices.
"When the PRI governed Mexico, it worked. They maintained social stability," Trujillo said.
He said it was a mistake for Calderon to go after organized crime. "You can't attack an organization that large ... it's attacking the people. Now it's out of control."
Pena Nieto is the young face of a party long known as the "dinosaurs," surrounding himself with thirtysomethings and running a tightly controlled campaign with a message that he will end drug violence and create jobs. His proposals lack details, as do all candidates', who say the law hasn't yet allowed them to campaign with specifics.
As governor of Mexico state, the country's most populous, Pena Nieto operated with very little ideology and focused on tangible public works like new roads and hospitals - 608 commitments that he promised and then completed.
Critics say they were mostly superficial and some were already in progress before he took office.
The candidate took a media drubbing earlier this year when he struggled to name three books that had influenced his life. He didn't know the minimum wage in Mexico or the price of a kilogram of tortillas, the mainstay of Mexican diets, saying, "I'm not the woman of the house."

Group to fight Pittston rental rules
PITTSTON - City landlords and tenants joined the newly formed Northeastern Pennsylvania Landlord Tenant Association on Wednesday night to fight a city rental inspection ordinance.
"We hope to get an ordinance that is reasonable for landlords and tenants that can be complied with without undue burden," said attorney John F. Bradley.
Approved in July, Pittston's ordinance calls for fire and safety inspections of rental properties by the city every two years. Property owners are charged an annual $50 fee for each rental unit.
Landlords voiced concerns over fees, code requirements and the ordinance's 10-day time frame to address any violations found by the city's inspector. Mr. Bradley said he has met with Pittston's solicitor, attorney Samuel Falcone, to discuss potential revisions to the ordinance and hopes to address those revisions at the council's next meeting, Oct. 16.
Mr. Bradley, Old Forge resident Laureen Cummings and Pittston landlord Bob Bajeski led the meeting to discuss the purpose of the landlord tenant association. Mr. Bradley said he will be challenging similar ordinances on the grounds of constitutionality throughout Lackawanna, Luzerne and Monroe counties, specifically in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, East Stroudsburg and Pittston.
"The citizens need to know their cities are adopting these ridiculous codes," Mrs. Cummings said of the association's efforts.
Samuel Argo was the only member of Pittston City Council to attend Wednesday's meeting. He said he does not support the rental inspection ordinance and will continue to support the efforts of association.
"The city is finding out what they initially set out to do isn't going to happen," Mr. Argo said. "That's why it's important to stand up."
Pittston City Manager Joe Moskovitz said Wednesday the council plans to discuss the ordinance at the next meeting if Mr. Falcone completes his revisions in time.
"The city administration has every intention to have the revised ordinance on the Oct. 16 agenda," Mr. Moskovitz said.
The new members of the landlord tenant association plan to meet again next week, before attending the council meeting. Mr. Bajeski was optimistic about the group's efforts to change the ordinance.
"We're hopeful that council will work with us so that it's fair and doesn't break the landlords financially," he said.

Like any subculture, the subculture of sex workers has its trends. More
The sad truth is that there are a lot of aspects of my work that are dishonest. I dishonestly use a false name, I dishonestly pretend to be turned on by clients or activities that hold little appeal for me, I dishonestly portray myself as ecstatically happy even when I'm in the throes of severe depressive episodes. More
I understand why Daniel is uncomfortable with my work–it is a tragic failing of most men that they want to own the women they love–but that doesn't make it any easier.
PLUS: How readers can see me speaking live about sex work. More
This is a far cry from all the time I wasted in middle school, waiting to be the last girl in the bathroom so no one would hear me pee. More
I know other women have found partners who accept and even encourage their participation in all aspects of the sex industry, but for better or worse, the man I have chosen either can't or doesn't want to accept anything but the bare minimum of physical contact with my clients. More
Sex work can be an incredibly isolating profession. In a world where our work is at the very least frowned upon, if not directly criminalized, it's extremely difficult to find support. Even relatively understanding civilian friends tend to be unable to truly relate to the difficulties of life as a sex worker. Too often, the solution to a complaint about work is, "Well, if you hate it so much, why don't you quit?" More
I lived in my cozy little sex worker-friendly utopia for quite a while before I realized that all was not just "rights not rescue" hashtags and descriptions of the harm of stigma that spanned several tweets. There was a dark side to sex worker Twitter, and it wasn't in the small divisions and little tiffs between the anti-capitalists and the libertarians or the misandrists and women who truly, deeply love men. The dark side of sex worker Twitter is caused entirely by the frequent invasion by sex worker exclusionary radical feminists (SWERFs) and trans exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs). More
"Why are you here?" the woman at the desk asked.
"We were supposed to make videos," I told her, "there wasn't any escorting mentioned at all."
"Well," said the woman, "we don't make videos here, so I don't know what to tell you." More
There are a lot of myths surrounding the sexuality of whores. Everyone seems to assume we're either nymphos or frigid, over-fucked to the point where we no longer have any interest in unpaid recreational sex. While I'm sure there are people who fit into these categories, I've never met any of them. More
Though I enjoy my life as a sex worker, I know there are people who do not. Nevertheless, I felt shock and sadness upon meeting an unhappy, alcoholic hooker. More
I embarked on my first whoretour with a mixture of fear and excitement. I had a lot to lose, but also the potential to gain just as much. Unfortunately, I mostly lost. More
And where better to really launch my career than the capitol of this country that I love so much? More
This woman was arrested for wearing clothes you've probably worn tons of times. More

By George Alderete July 30, 2014 | 3:05 pm EDT UpvoteClick if you like this articleOne upvote per userLog in to upvoteComments Print Q: What is the best way to formulate? A: "I teach a 5-step approach," says Keune Academy Color Director and International Color Artist George Alderete. "1. Find the natural Level you're working with by referring to the color manufacturer' swatch book. 2. Determine the desired level—where you want to go. This is the target Level. 3. Determine the undertone at the target level. If a natural Level-4 brown will be lifted to a natural-looking, target Level 6, which is a dark brown, the undertone at Level 6 usually sits at orange. If the client says "I don't want any warmth," which is nine times out of 10, then use a cool-based color for a more natural-looking result. 4. Read the percentage of gray. For instance, if it's 30%, formulate with two parts of your base color with one part target color; if it's 50%, use equal parts of the base color and the target color. 5. Lastly, determine your developer volume based on manufacturer instructions."

A little more than seven million people have registered to vote in next month's general election in Michigan. That's according to the Secretary of State's office.
That number doesn't include people who signed up at their county clerk's office or had mailed in a registration form by Monday's deadline. The preliminary count represents about 96 percent of those eligible to vote in the state.
The early number is up slightly from the last presidential election, when 6.9 million voters registered. Of those, 4.3 million cast a ballot.

Lyssa, Athenian krater C5th B.C.,
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
LYSSA was the goddess or daimona (spirit) of rage, fury, raging madness, frenzy, and, in animals, of the madness of rabies. The Athenians spelt her name Lytta.
Lyssa was a figure of Athenian tragedy. In Aeschylus she appears as the agent of Dionysos sent to drive the Minyades mad; and in Euripides she is sent by Hera to inflict Herakles. Greek vase-paintings of the period also confirm her appearance in plays about Aktaion, the hunter torn apart by his madenned hounds. In this scene she appears a women dressed in a short skirt, and crowned with a dog's-head cap to represent the madness of rabies.
Lyssa was closley related to the Maniai, the goddesses of mania and madness. Her Roman equivalent was variously named as Ira, Furor or Rabies. Sometimes she was multiplied into a host of Irae and Furores.
[1] NYX & the blood of OURANOS (Euripides Heracles 844)
[2] AETHER & GAIA (Hyginus Preface)
Aeschylus, Fragment 85 Xantriae (from Photius, Lexicon 326. 22) (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
[Lyssa speaks in a play describing the madness inflicted by Dionysos upon either the impious daughters of Minyas or the Mainades who dismembered Pentheus:]
"From the feet up the crown of the head steals the spasm, the stab of Lyssa (Frenzy), aye, the scorpion's sting."
Euripides, Heracles 815 ff (trans. Vellacott) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
"[The spectres of Lyssa (Madness) and Iris appear from above. The Chorus sees them.]
Chorus: Ha! see there, my old comrades! is the same wild panic fallen on us all; what phantom is this I see hovering over the house? Fly, fly, bestir your tardy steps! begone! away! O savior prince, avert calamity from me!
Iris: Courage, old men! she, whom you see, is Lyssa (Madness), daughter of Nyx (Night), and I am Iris, the handmaid of the gods. We have not come to do your city any hurt, but our warfare is against the house of one man only, against him whom they call [Herakles] the son of Zeus and Alkmena. For until he had finished all his grievous labors, Destiny was preserving him, nor would father Zeus ever suffer me or Hera to harm him. But now that he has accomplished the labors of Eurystheus, Hera wishes to brand him with the guilt of shedding kindred blood by slaying his own children, and I wish it also. Come then, unwed maid, child of black Nyx (Night), harden your heart relentlessly, send forth frenzy upon this man, confound his mind even to the slaying of his children, drive him, goad him wildly on his mad career, shake out the sails of death, that when he has conveyed over Akheron's ferry that fair group of children by his own murderous hand, he may learn to know how fiercely against him the wrath of Hera burns and may also experience mine; otherwise, if he should escape punishment, the gods will become as nothing, while man's power will grow.
Lyssa: Of noble parents was I born, the daughter of Nyx (Night), sprung from the blood of Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven); and these prerogatives I hold, not to use them in anger against friends, nor do I have any joy in visiting the homes of men; and I wish to counsel Hera, before I see her err, and you too, if you will hearken to my words. This man, against whose house you are sending me, has made himself a name alike in heaven and earth; for, after taming pathless wilds and raging sea, he by his single might raised up again the honors of the gods when sinking before man's impiety; . . ((lacuna)) wherefore I counsel you, do not wish him dire mishaps.
Iris: Spare us your advice on Hera's and my schemes.
Lyssa: I seek to turn your steps into the best path instead of into this one of evil.
Iris: It was not to practice self-control that the wife of Zeus sent you here.
I call Helios the sun-god to witness that here I am acting against my will; but if indeed I must at once serve you and Hera and follow you in full cry as hounds follow the huntsman, then I will go; neither ocean with its fiercely groaning waves, nor the earthquake, nor the thunderbolt with blast of agony shall be like the headlong rush I will make into the breast of Herakles; through his roof will I burst my way and swoop upon his house, after first slaying his children; nor shall their murderer know that he is killing the children he begot, till he is released from my madness. Behold him! see how even now he is wildly tossing his head at the outset, and rolling his eyes fiercely from side to side without a word; nor can he control his panting breath, like a fearful bull in act to charge; he bellows, calling on the Keres of Tartaros. Soon will I rouse you to yet wilder dancing and pipe a note of terror in your ear. Soar away, O Iris, to Olympos on your honored course; while I unseen will steal into the halls of Herakles.
Chorus: Alas alas! lament; the son of Zeus, flower of your city, is being cut down. Woe to you, Hellas! that will cast from you your benefactor, and destroy him as he dances in the shrill frenzy of Lyssa (Madness). She is mounted on her chariot, the queen of sorrow and sighing, and is goading on her steeds, as if for outrage, the Gorgon child of Nyx, with a hundred hissing serpent-heads, Lyssa (Madness) of the flashing eyes. Soon has the god changed his good fortune; soon will his children breathe their last, slain by a father's hand."
Image N17.1 (below): "Lyssa runs forward urging on the hounds in their maddened attack on Aktaion. She wears a chitoniskos; over it, a coat with long sleeves; over that a pelt, girt; high laced boots. Above the crown of her head, as if growing from it, is the head of a small hound, with alert look and ears pricked up. She wears a sleeved coat, the Persian kandys. It is worn by Amazons as part of their Oriental costume." Perseus Digital Library, Vase Catalogue (accessed October 2000)
Ira (Anger) was the Roman equivalent of Lyssa. She was often pluralized by the Latin into a host of Irae (Angers).
Pseudo-Hyginus, Preface (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"From Aether and Terra (Earth) [were born]: Dolor (Grief), Dolus (Deceit), Ira (Wrath) [i.e. Lyssa], Luctus (Lamentation), Mendacium (Falsehood), Jusiurandum (Oath), Vltio (Vengeance), Intemperantia (Intemperance), Altercatio (Altercation), Obliuio (Forgetfulness), Socordia (Sloth), Timor (Fear), Superbia (Pride), Incestum (Incest), Pugna (Combat)."
Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 2. 200 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"Through the terror-stricken air again and again she [Aphrodite leading the Lemnian women to slaughter their unfaithful husbands] makes a strange cry ring . . . Straightway Pavor [Phobos, Fear] and insensate Discordia [Eris, Strife] from her Getic lair, dark-browed Ira [Lyssa, Anger] with pale cheeks, Dolus (Treachery), Rabies [Mania or Lyssa, Frenzy] and towering above the rest Letum [Ker, Death], her cruel hands bared, come hastening up at the first sound of the Martian consort's pealing voice that gave the signal."
Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 5. 136 ff :
"Ira (Anger) and a sire whom tears awaited [Ares] urged on the axe-wielding companies [of Amazones against Herakles]."
Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 5. 145 ff :
"For ere [in the time before] they [the Khalybes (Chalybes) a Black Sea tribe who discovered iron] dragged unknown iron from its stony bed and provided swords, Odia (Hatred) roamed feeble because unarmed, Ira (Anger) was resourceless and Erinys (Vengeance) but slow."
Statius, Thebaid 2. 286 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"[The cursed necklace of Harmonia:] Not Pasithea, eldest of the gracious sisters, nor Decor (Charm) nor the Idalian youth did mould it, but Luctus [Penthos, Grief], and all the Irae [Lyssai, Angers], and Dolor [Algos, Anguish] and Discordia [Eris, Discord], with all the craft of her right hand [assisted Hephaistos in the crafting]."
Statius, Thebaid 3. 424 ff :
"Amid the night-wandering shades the god of battle [Mars, Ares] from on high made to resound with the thunder of arms the Nemean fields and Arcadia from end to end, and the height of Taenarum and Therapnae . . . filled excited hearts with passion for himself [war]. Furor (Fury) and Ira (Wrath) make trim his crest, and Pavor (Panic), his own squire, handles his horses' reins."
Statius, Thebaid 7. 64 ff :
"Fit sentinels hold watch there [the Thracian palace of Mars-Ares]: from the outer gate wild Impetus (Passion) leaps, and blind Nefas (Mishief) and Irae (Angers) flushing red and pallid Metus (Fear), and Insidia (Treachery) lurks with hidden sword, and Discordia (Discord) holding a two-edged blade. Minis (Threatenings) innumerable make clamour in the court, sullen Virtus (Valour) stands in the midst, and Furor (Rage) exultant and armed Mors (Death) with blood-stained visage are seated there; no blood but that of wars is on the altars, no fire but snatched from burning cities."
Statius, Thebaid 9. 832 ff :
"The lord of war [Mars-Ares] sprang down into the fight: as he sped through the paths of air Ira (Anger) alone was his companion: the other Furores (Madnesses) were busy in the sweat of war."
Lyssa was probably the same as the Latin Furor (Rage). She was sometimes pluralized into a group of Furores.
Seneca, Hercules Furens 90 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) :
"[Hera rages against Herakles:] 'Dost think that now thou hast escaped the Styx [i.e. the Underword] and the cruel ghosts? Here will I show thee infernal shapes. One in deep darkness buried, far down below the place of banishment of guilty souls, will I call up-- the goddess Discordia [Eris, discord], whom a huge cavern, barred by a mountain, guards; I will bring her forth, and drag out from the deepest realm of Dis [Haides] whatever thou hast left; hateful Scelus [Hybris?, Crime] shall come and reckless Impietas [Dyssebia, Impiety], stained with kindred blood, Error [Ate, Error], and Furor [Lyssa, Mad-Rage], armed ever against itself--this, this be the minister of my smarting wrath!'"
Seneca, Oedipus 582 :
"[The seer Teiresias performs necromancy to learn the cause of a pestilence ravaging Thebes:] Suddenly the earth yawned and opened wide with gulf immeasurable. Myself, I saw the numb pools amidst the shadows; myself, the wan gods and night in very truth. My frozen blood stood still and clogged my veins. Forth leaped a savage cohort [of ghosts] . . . Then grim Erinys (Vengeance) shrieked, and blind Furor [Lyssa, Fury] and Horror [Phrike, Horror], and all the forms which spawn and lurk midst the eternal shades [i.e. in the underworld]: Luctus [Penthos, Grief], tearing her hair; Morbus [Nosos, Disease], scarce holding up her wearied head; Senectus [Geras, Old-Age], burdened with herself; impending Metus [Deimos, Fear], and greedy Pestis [Nosos, Pestilence], the Ogygian people's curse. Our spirits died within us. Even she [Manto] who knew the rites and the arts of her aged sire stood amazed. But he, undaunted and bold from his lost sight, summons the bloodless throng of cruel Dis [Haides]."
Statius, Thebaid 3. 424 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"The god of battle [Mars-Ares] from on high made to resound with the thunder of arms the Nemean fields and Arcadia from end to end . . . filled excited hearts with passion for himself [war]. Furor (Fury) and Ira (Wrath) make trim his crest, and Pavor (Panic), his own squire, handles his horses' reins."
Statius, Thebaid 10. 556 ff :
"Dreadful is the sight within [the besieged city], scarce Mars [Ares] himself would rejoice to behold it; Luctus (Grief) and Furor (Fury) and Pavor (Panic), and Fuga (Rout) enwrapped in blinding gloom rend with many-voiced discord the frenzied, horror-stricken town."
Statius, Thebaid 9. 832 ff :
"The lord of war [Mars, Ares] sprang down into the fight : as he sped through the paths of air Ira (Anger) alone was his companion: the other Furores (Rages) were busy in the sweat of war."
Statius, Thebaid 5. 65 ff :
"Everywhere [on the island of Lemnos, whose women were cursed by Aphrodite] reigned bitter Odia (Hatred) and Furor (Rage) and Discordia (Discord) [Eris] sundering the partners of the bed."
Statius, Thebaid 4. 661 ff :
"No sluggish retinue is his [Dionysos']: Ira (Anger) and Furor (Rage) are there, and Metus (Fear) and Virtus (Virtue), and Ardor (Ardour) never sober, and steps that stagger, an army most like to its prince."
Lyssa also appears in Latin in the form of Rabies (Frenzied Rage), a daimona of both battle-fury and the disease of rabies.
Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 2. 200 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"[Aphrodite leads the women of Lemnos to slaughter their unfaithful husbands:] Through the terror-stricken air again and again she makes a strange cry ring . . . Straightway Pavor (Fear) and insensate Discordia (Strife) from her Getic lair, dark-browed Ira (Anger) with pale cheeks, Dolus (Treachery), Rabies (Frenzied Rage) and towering above the rest Letum (Death), her cruel hands bared, come hastening up at the first sound of the Martian consort's pealing voice that gave the signal."
[N.B. Ira and Rabies are Lyssa and Mania or vice versa.]

How much is a pet's life worth? The state court of appeals says, essentially, nothing.
Nancy and Herbert Shera of Wilmington sued the NC State vet school after their Jack Russel Terrier, Laci, died following a botched feeding tube during cancer treatment.
The Shera's want $28,000 from NC State, starting a four year legal fight over whether beloved pets have intrinsic worth.
The NC Court of Appeals has ruled Laci's owners are not entitled to more money than the cost of buying a new Jack Russel Terrier, about $350. The couple may appeal to the state supreme court.

Be the first to write a review Looney Tile & Grout RSTRTN
Let Down
by North Naples , 04/27/2015
Original work seemed fine; however when called for help on one minor outstanding issue, they were sadly unresponsive. Certainly not the way to build a business.
by sarah williams , 01/09/2014
The job that was done in my place (the summer of 2013) was adequate; however, there were a few outstanding issues left. All these months later, after many calls to the owner, no one has called back to address these minor but important issues..This is a huge concern, when one has spent a good sum of money, and yet cannot get the promised return help, that was in the written guarantee.
Simply Amazing !!!
by OH Snowbirds , 03/27/2013
Our tile was put down during the FL building boom...POOR workmanship. Our grout was to be a light buff color. It looked like they scraped the bucket as we had various shades of grout throughout. They didn't do a good job cleaning up. It looked like concrete around the base of our toilets and around door frames. I scrubbed with various products and nothing worked. Scott said he could get all that up. I thought to myself....how can he get something up that has been there for almost 14 years...well believe me, he is a man of his word. We had surplus grout on tiles where they hadn't cleaned our floor. It must have been quitting time and they just walked off the job. Let me tell you, I was told to have my tile taken up and have a wooden floor put down. I did not want to go through the mess and expense. I read an article in the newspaper about Scott and Jill and what they could do to make your tile floor new again. Seeing is believing. I have a floor that looks better than when it was new. I had forgotten how pretty the tile was that I had picked out! No more ugly grout. I now have a floor that looks like a million bucks and at an affordable cost. Scott and Jill, the owners, do the work themselves....no poor workmanship....they are truly professionals and such nice people. I can't say enough good things about them and their process. Give them a try -- you won't be sorry!
Great Job!
by joyce , 02/21/2013
Jill & Scott,When I saw my new (old) grout I was floored! The last time my floors looked this good was the day I moved into my brand new home 9 years ago. Two other companies had turned me down and said they could not bring it back but you did what you said you could do.I cannot believe the transformation.I can't stop looking at it, it looks so good.Thank you,Joyce

How does the red carpet even handle all the hotness coming from the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness?
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch and more hit the red carpet last night (May 9) for a New York City screening of the soon-to-be blockbuster. It's going to be really sad when this promotion tour ends and we don't get any more of our favorite actors being sexy together all the time. Well, until the third one at least!
Wanna know the best thing about the Star Trek cast? Well, other than their incredible talent and good looks. They're really into pranks and poor newbie Benedict fell victim to one.
He told The Today Showthat the seasoned folks convinced him he needed to wear "neutron cream" to protect him from the radiation on set. "I was in a gullible mood. I had to dot it around my face, and that would basically keep me safe from radiation, and then to shake off the neutrons…. I'm really embarrassed about it." You might be embarrassed, but we are amused.
Benedict also hit up The Late Show With David Letterman last night where he talked about everything from Star Trek to his uncanny similarity with otters. It's amazing. You can check out the full interview below.
Launch the gallery to check out all the super amazing photos from the red carpet. In addition to the movie hotties, we spotted stars like Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Tom Cavanagh. Oh! And watch the Benedict interview. Are you guys super stoked for Star Trek Into Darkness? Let us know in the comments!

We also like sharing our passion for language learning through a range of activity books that focus on learning English, French and Spanish.
Our mission is to inspire children to explore the world around them through the things we love: good design and illustration, curious texts and fascinating facts. We hope you like what we do.
