"The View" Fires Everyone Except For...
by Daily Dish
posted Jun 27 2014 7:58AM
Time for a change! This is huge news this morning! "The View" is cleaning house and starting over! The entire cast has been fired except for Whoopi Goldberg! There was a meeting at ABC yesterday and they announced that Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy were fired. ABC released a statement saying, "The View will be moving in an exciting new direction next season and ABC has made decisions to evolve the show creatively," "The View" has been in a rocky boat ever since Jenny McCarthy was hired. The chemistry on the show just wasn't the same. It's too early to say who would be the replacements, but Ross Mathews has been one of the names tossed out! Blame it all on Jenny McCarthy!
On Wednesday dozens of Avicii fans that went to his concert were sent to the hospital. Now we're learning what happened! I'm being told that ecstasy played a key role in the 911 emergency. Some of the people at the concert were high on ecstasy and it created a dangerous situation because the pit area was extremely hot and crowded. That caused dehydration and that led to the massive rush to the ER. What we don't know is where they all got the ecstasy. Overall, 36 people went to local hospitals and over 50 people were treated AT the concert. That's a LOT of drugs!
Things might be changing for the better for Lindsay Lohan! She's scored a big time London stage gig. She'll be live on stage every night doing an infamous play, "Speed-the-Plow." Starting in September, Lindsay Lohan will play the role of the secretary, a part that was played by Madonna in the original play back in 1988. This is a big deal for Lindsay Lohan because it's the only work she's been getting lately besides hosting parties. Moving on up!
How scary! Rob Lowe was vacationing with his family in the South of France this week. But his vacation took a turn for the worst when a massive storm moved into the area! Rob Lowe, his wife and their son had to be rescued as raging waters from the rain almost washed away the house they were staying in! The storm was so bad that the flooding hit the entire first floor of the property! I mean firefighters saved their lives! I'm so glad that they all made it out ok!
Watch out Will Ferrell and Bill Murray, Robert De Niro is trying to one-up you! Robert De Niro was in Brooklyn yesterday to film a movie and a neighbor in the area he was in said that Robert De Niro wanted to take a break to watch the World Cup game between the United States and Germany. The neighbor got an email from Warner Brothers asking if they could help Robert De Niro see the game and he ended up getting invited to a nearby house where people were watching it. Robert De Niro's publicist did not respond to a request for comment. He just wanted to watch the World Cup in peace!
Hope Solo is breaking her silence after getting arrested for domestic violence over the weekend! She was taken into custody for attacking her 17-year-old nephew and sister at a family party at her house. She pleaded not guilty and was released. Hope Solo released a statement on her Facebook page. She apologized to everyone and said, "I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct. I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed. I love my family dearly. We, like all families, have our challenges but my sincere hope is that we are able to resolve this situation as a family… Due to pending legal issues, I cannot comment further at this time. However, I am confident in the legal process and believe my name will be cleared." For now, a judge ordered Hope Solo to not drink alcohol and she can't contact her sister or nephew.
He's at it again! Shia LaBeouf had to be taken out of a New York City theater for getting out of hand and causing a disturbance! It happened last night at Studio 54 in Manhattan during a performance of the Broadway show, Cabaret! What he did exactly still isn't known, all that I'm being told is that Shia LaBeouf was "disruptive during act one" and was arrested and escorted out of the theater at intermission! He even had to be muzzled with a face mask for spitting on the cops! No charges have been filed and the police are investigating what happened. Shia LaBeouf's rep had no comment. How old are you?

Signs and Wonders: Crooked prosecutor now a convict, too
Prosecutor convicted. Last week in Texas, a former prosecutor and judge pleaded guilty to intentionally failing to disclose evidence in a case that sent an innocent man to prison for murder. Ken Anderson pleaded guilty to criminal contempt and will have to give up his law license, perform 500 hours of community service, and spend 10 days in jail. That's not a lot considering he sent Michael Morton to jail for 25 years before Morton was exonerated and freed. But it's the first time ever that a prosecutor has served jail time for such an offense. It also helps shine a light on how broken our criminal justice system is today. Conservatives such as Richard Viguerie, who described himself as a "lock-them-up-and-throw-away-the-key" kind of guy in the 1970s, is among conservatives now calling for an overhaul of what he calls one of our most dysfunctional big-government programs. Dr. Everett Bartlett, director of the Center for Prosecutor Integrity, said this case is "big news for conservatives who want prosecutors to be held accountable for unethical and illegal conduct."
Abortion scofflaw. Notorious New Jersey abortionist Steven Chase Brigham has opened an abortion clinic in Philadelphia despite having been ordered by the state never to do so. According to the pro-life group Operation Rescue, "the new abortion clinic, Integrity Family Health, located at 9622 Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia, was discovered by the staff of another area abortion clinic when a patient mentioned it to them. During a quick Internet search, they discovered the connections to Brigham and reported the clinic to the authorities, who are now investigating it." Brigham had at least two other abortion facilities shutdown by Pennsylvania authorities earlier this year. According to Operation Rescue, one of those facilities in Allentown, Pa., is now a pro-life office saving babies from abortion.
Hawaii falls. Hawaii became the 15th state to allow same-sex marriage this week. That much is not really news since the bill to allow homosexual marriage has been winding through the overwhelmingly Democratic legislature for several weeks. But one interesting aspect of this story is that Hawaii started this current battle over same sex marriage in 1990 when a lesbian couple tried to get married there and could not. That case went to the Supreme Court, which in 1993 ruled in favor of the lesbians. Since then, states one by one have been passing laws allowing same-sex marriage. It is important to note that the vast majority of the country still prohibits gay marriage, and those states that do allow it are mostly bunched on the east and west coasts.
Charter children need rescuing, too. A charter school that had been participating in Operation Christmas Child has pulled out of the program after receiving a letter from American Humanists threatening a lawsuit. East Point Academy had been participating in Operation Christmas Child for about three years. School administrator Renee Mathews told parents in a letter that since "we do not want to expend school financial resources defending a lawsuit, we are not going to accept Operation Christmas Child boxes. If you and your child had planned to donate a shoebox of supplies, you are encouraged to find a charity of your choice for the gift." This situation highlights how charter schools, while able to exercise a bit more autonomy over the education process than traditional public schools, are ultimately inadequate as an a solution for Christian parents who are commanded to raise their children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

Why are you going SS? I thought there was a lot of hills where you lived?
Why are you going SS? I thought there was a lot of hills where you lived?
HHCMF - Take pride in your ability to amaze lesser mortals! - MikeR
We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!
A few reasons:Originally Posted by jyossarian
1.) I like the simplicity. No thinking about shifting. No grip shift to clutter my handlebar. No derailleur hanging off the frame. One less cable to deal with. Only one cog to clean.
2.) The chain is now higher up from the ground than previously with the derailleur, keeping it away from road crud; cleaner and thus easier to maintain.
3.) Hazards of commuting on the train - I had my derailleur knocked-in a few times, bending the derailleur hanger and throwing my shifting all out of whack.
4.) The drivetrain is oh-so-smooth and quiet. I'll never go back to a multi-geared clucker.
There are no huge hills in my immediate commute route that out-of-the-saddle cranking can't manage. I'll just need to detour the really big climbs, or think about getting maybe a 16T cog for those rare occasions.
Love your sig, btw.
James- most of your reasons for going SS could apply to the internal hubs as well. That is why I ditched the derailleur is for most of those reasons. The Nexus is incredibly quiet and it doesn't clunk, no false engagements, it shifts smoothly, etc. I especially like the fact that no derailleur to get knocked out of alignment OR collect all the crap from the road. I wish I didn't have any hills to deal with too!
No, I LOVE hills! DOWNhills that is! But you rarely get downs without ups, sadly...Originally Posted by Wavshrdr
A friend of mine that I used to ride with at uni - he actually loved the UPhills more than the downhills. But that's another story!
Time to fire-up the Swift thread...
I got compliments on my Swift from 2 BikeFriday owners on the train in the past week.
One guy especially liked my single-speed drivetrain conversion, and another guy (just this morning) was impressed with the frame. He wanted to compare the flex between my frame and his BF, so I let him do the infamous "flex test" on my Swift by pressing down on a pedal in the 6 o'clock position and observing how much the bottom bracket area flexes in response. While some have debated over the validity of this test and what it actually means, let's just say that he remaked that my Swift is "beefier" than his BF, and that he's going to check-out a Swift at the Xootr website.
So there you have it. BikeFriday owners everywhere agree: Swift has the beef.
Quick! What's the headset size on my Swift? It's bigger than 32mm and I think it's English. It's loose and it's bothering me...

James, I too am enjoying the benefits of a simple, smooth, quiet drivetrain. However, it's on my new fixed gear bike. The Swift will have to wait a few months to see if I have a job to pay for it or not. If I survive the coming rounds of layoffs, then I'll be treating myself to a new Swift. And I'll probably go w/ the internal hub to have gears for the upcoming organized rides like the 5BBT and NYC Century. I do like the idea of a SS and it's definitely in the back of my mind for keeping the bike light and simple.

Cool...are you on fixed-gear-gallery? Velospace? Put up some pics!Originally Posted by jyossarian
I want to thank everybody in the folder bike/swift forums. After my beloved 1982 Trek was stolen last summer, I have been without a commuter bike. The idea of a folder was intriguing to me since I have little space to store a bike at home and work. The opportunity to keep a bike in a closet or the back of my hatchback is irresistable. Since I have owned a recumbent I am not unaccustomed to odd looks now and then from fellow cyclists, so I decided to gather information on folders.
This website has been invaluable to me. I test rode a Dahon Vitesse and Giant Halfway at local shops here in Chicago (both are nice machines), but decided, after doing much reading of the folder discussions, that the Swift filled the bill for me. I called Peter Reich last week and ordered one in black, which I should receive at the beginning of April. I'm as excited as a kid waiting for his birthday to come.
So I have joined the fold...thanks again, and keep offering this great info.
@scotharr - Welcome into the fold! I hope you enjoy your Swift as much as I've enjoyed mine. It is far and away my absolute favorite folder and probably my favorite bike as well.
What specs did you decide on? Internal hub or derailleur? Inquiring minds want to know. Enjoy it when you finally get it.
I chose the derailleur over the hub and swapped out the gripshift for a thumb/finger shifter (or whatever they're called...you get the idea). I also bought a Brooks saddle on ebay which I am eager to try out.
Not yet. I have to get a digital camera first. Once that's done, I'll post the link in my sig. This thread will be invaluable when it comes time to put my Swift together.Originally Posted by james_swift

Which derailleur setup, SRAM? What Brooks? I have a Brooks Pro on mine in Honey. Took a while to break in but it is pretty nice now. I bought a couple others to try as well.
This has been around for a while. My next project after the Ti Brompton/Merc is to setup one these Bion-X motors in a front wheel powered config.Originally Posted by james_swift
Looks great. I can see doing this to my Swift someday.Originally Posted by james_swift
Nice deep drops, James.
Trying to race us dudes on Bike Fridays? (You know that's your next bike.)
I bet that you BF riders secretly really wish that you had a Swift!

Haha! No.Originally Posted by Crankypants
Haha! No.Originally Posted by Crankypants
If I wanted one, I'd already have one.
The drops really make a difference riding in headwinds. I was able to hold 17.5mph in a moderate headwind this morning, whereas with straight bars, I'd have to drop to 15mph and below. When you can't downshift, it's essential to have a way to get out of the wind.
I don't think I'll own a BF anytime soon, as I've blown too much cash on mods for my Swift.
Don't have to tell me twice about headwinds.
Crazy steep angle.

Oh cool! That's just round the corner from where I live!
There was a Steampunk room at the Ontario Science Centre when I went a while ago (since I hadn't been there for ten years). But it was very disappointing. It was pretty much all cosplay steampunk Steampunk is based on Victorian-era settings where steam power is everywhere, driving all sorts of inventions. A woman wearing a corset with combat boots, top hat, gear-shaped necklace, and goggles is not necessarily steampunk, unless she's carrying an ahistorical repeating rifle, the necklace actually does something, and she's driving a steam-powered car.

Persistence and prayer
Marriage | For nearly 60 years, Dave and Ada Dorn have faithfully sought God's will for their life together
This article is the ninth in a series profiling couples who have been married for at least 35 years. As sociologist Mark Regnerus writes, "Young adults want to know that it's possible for two fellow believers to stay happy together for a lifetime, and they need to hear how the generations preceding them did it." It is also important to see that marriages are not always happy all the time, but commitment is crucial.
LIVERMORE, Calif.—Dave and Ada Dorn have done a lot of living in their almost 60 years together, but together almost didn't happen. They met on a blind date in San Diego. Ada thought Dave was nice, but she had no interest in marriage. She wanted to work her way around the world as a traveling nurse, and Dave had just joined the Navy.
Ada took a job in Hawaii a few days after they met. Dave shipped out for Korea. He wrote to Ada nearly every day, but she had moved on. Dave requested an onshore assignment in Hawaii and came calling with an engagement ring. Surprised, she turned him down. Dave was devastated. While he persisted, she prayed, wondering if she was missing something in God's will. She concluded she had and changed her mind.
In December 1953, they started married life together in Hawaii. They later moved to Indiana for Dave's graduate study in physics and in 1959 settled in Livermore, Calif., where Dave worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
"God blessed us with four children along the way, and then gave us opportunities to travel," Ada said.
Their first year in Livermore was hard. Summer temperatures topped out over 100 degrees for three weeks in a row. Dave had to go out of town while Ada and the kids went without air conditioning.
Other challenges came later. When the children reached adulthood, they called their parents "pharisees" and turned away from their church. The stress could have driven Dave and Ada apart. Instead, they drew closer to each other and to God in prayer. Relations with the children were rocky, but Dave and Ada remain in touch with each.
Dave's assignments led to the Middle East, Europe, China, and other parts of the world. As they traveled, they made friends, met fellow Christians, and found opportunities to serve, including Lutheran Marriage Encounter. This ministry allowed them to talk about their experiences and the value of a Christ-centered marriage with couples across North and South America, Europe, and Australia.
Did Ada give up her dream of seeing the world to marry Dave? With a sparkle in her eyes she said, "No, we've seen the world together. God's plan for us has been more wonderful than any I dreamed of."

Coffee Buyer and Sustainability Manager Kim Elena Ionescu and Independent Evaluation Consultant Hannah Popish worked together on an enlightening study of how coffee farmers value microlots.
The information presented in "Do Microlots Matter to Producers" derives from a study conducted by Counter Culture Coffee and published in March 2012 titled, "The Social Impacts of Microlots: A Coffee Cooperative Case Study in Ihuamaca, Peru." The study aimed to measure the social impacts of microlot selection on members of the CENFROCAFE cooperative in five Peruvian communities where Counter Culture Coffee has purchased coffee over the last five years.

Today I noticed that the "lol" symbol looks like a drowning guy, and all you see is his head and arms sticking out of the water. I bet he's not laughing out loud anymore. MLIA
Drowning is not a joke! *snickers*
Neither is killing babies. *Cackles evily*
What about peanut butter sodomy?
sodomizing peanut butter isn't a joke. just a nasty mess afterwards.
Yes! Drowning is serious! *burst out laughing then clears up throat* ...yea serious
TOUCHDOWWWN! lol
Lol... I hate laughing at the things that I'm not supposed to think is funny, but due to my contract with the Dark Lord and the fact that I no longer have a soul, I do.
your comment makes my life a little better, does this make you laugh more? "\o/"
lol now it really looks like a drowning man x]
I love this. You guys make me laugh.
Haha, it isn't...but this is pretty hilarious!
(_y_) check it out, clevage XP
You sir... mam... whoever you are... are the next einstien!!!
Nice imagination
THEY COPIED FROM COLLEGEHUMOR. i hate cheaters.
Imagination my ass. This is NOT an original quote. I've seen it here, copied practically WORD FOR WORD: http://ruminations.com/ruminations/144997
Slight possibility it's the same poster, just on two different sites. Not likely though.
I actually realized today that it looks like a happy person celebrating!
Without a body? I'd celebrate too!!!
Maybe it's a pool party and they're celebrating their/someone else's birthday... O:
I think maybe a crossbow?
dude, no way. it's a tie fighter.
hey i was gonna say that!!!!!! lol ()() (^.^) (> <) BUNNNY!!!!!
Or somebody going down a roller coaster.
I see it as a guy going down a roller coaster and sticking his arms up in the air. O_o
or, it kinda looks like smores...
I like it.
I have to admit, this post made me smile. It's cute.
Best post in a while!
Reminds me of another story that said something along the lines of: I noticed that the word "bed" actually looks like a bed.
Oh yea I read that one as well, it also made me smile :)
Yeah, I really like that one. But it doesn't necessarily take much effort to make me smile.
I think it's one of the "best this year"s.
I believe it is THE best this year. o:
i like to thnk he'll die happy.
It looks like a bowling ball going down that whatever you call it. xD
Bowling lane?
Yeah! Thanks, sometimes I forget very simple things and look like a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins.
We'll let it slide this one time (I'm so punny. I know).
High five !
Happy punch!
If this was Facebook, I'd like it. I just average'd it.
Funny you say this, cause I'm a fan of MLIA on facebook, and they posted this story. I "like"d it.
Maybe he was laughing out loud while swimming and that's what caused him to drown.
Or went swimming too soon after eating...
this is a really really really good one!! i love it when people make words look like something, and i love how she made the connection between drowning and laughing in the last sentence. *saving*
so now instead of is your glass half empty or half full, it's going to be: do you see lol as a drowning person or a person raising the roof with happiness?
hahaha!! i wanna save that too
This is actually pretty good. :)
Hey wifey!
Ayyy :D
Razzle! :D
How have you been?
Zorro! :D I've been alright. And yourself?
Pretty good. my roommate just bought the modern warfare 2 game. so ive been playing that.. how have the comments been?
I don't know. I've been on errands allllll day. I got some meds for my insomnia and visited the chiropracter. And I just sounded like someone in their mid fourties. Great.
Hahaha, thats exactly what I was thinking as I read that.
Haha. My mom always says that I was born at fourty.
Razzle, if it makes you feel better, I'm 21 years old with arthritis in both of my hips. I feel forty most of the time.
Ooh. That sucks. :/ Maybe we'll end up in the same MLIA nursing home soon?
That would be awesome! I'll bring the trumpet cookies...with reduced sugar, just in case either of us has "diabeetus". (LOL, I love those commercials!)
Hahahaha. I'm not familiar with it.
Haha, it's this grumpy old guy talking about having diabetes, but he pronounces it "diabeetus". I think his name is Wilford Brimley. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/diabeetus
I approve this as an average MLIA.
I think it looks like the letter "o" between the letter "l" and the letter "l" again. Perhaps I'm too average to understand...
I don't understand how you see that. It's obviously a man with his arms up, and it MIGHT resemble two 'l's and one 'o'.
Razzle, your username always makes me think of Chicago. That makes you awesome, you know...
How? And thanks. haha.

RALPH Emmerson who has died aged 94 was born in Headingley, Leeds, and was educated at the nearby Leeds Grammar School where he excelled at both cricket and rugby, as well as his academic studies.
During the Second World War, although he was by that time an Anglican parish priest, his old school would call him back to teach science on a part-time basis.
On leaving school he was employed at the Education Office in Leeds. At the same time he became increasingly involved as a volunteer in the pioneering social work of the Rev Don Robins at St George's Church in Leeds – St George's Crypt becoming a by-word for care of the very needy.
With a strong sense of vocation, he went to train for the priesthood at King's College, London, graduating as a bachelor of divinity in 1937. He was ordained in 1938, returned to St George's and married Nancy Bygate, a member of the congregation.
One unexpected job in 1939/40 was to help organise the evacuation of children from Leeds on the outbreak of war, and he remembered with great affection the plaintive nine-year old who asked him just before the train moved off: "Mr Emmerson, will there be owt to spend me money on in Lincolnshire?"
In 1941 the Bishop of Ripon, Geoffrey Lunt, appointed him to work as a curate-in-charge of the New Seacroft Conventional District where Leeds Council was building thousands of new houses.
Ralph and Nancy occupied one of them. This council house was to be a base for worship, prayer and social action until the first Church of the Ascension was completed in 1946.
Ralph's sporting skills and organising abilities saw the creation of cricket and football teams for young people on the estate, and it was common practice for him to conduct weddings during the summer months at the old church on Seacroft Green in white flannels and shirt carefully hidden beneath his cassock and surplice.
He was an accomplished opening batsman and he wasn't a bad tweaker and swinger of the ball when required.
In 1948, he moved on to the ancient parish of Methley whose rector, by coincidence, was traditionally Suffragan Bishop of Knaresborough. Here Ralph's pastoral work and his articulate and dynamic sermons were nearly as much appreciated by the predominantly mining community as his cricketing skills.
He played for the local team and for several years was top of the Yorkshire Council bowling averages, and second top in its batting averages.
To his great delight, in 1956 Ralph was appointed Vicar of St Michael's church, Headingley, home of Yorkshire Cricket.
New gifts emerged – he collaborated closely with the producer/
actress Pamela Keilly encouraging religious drama in the parish and beyond; his pastoral work with students influenced many young lives, and some would say, best of all, the local British Legion which had met in a dingy back room in the Bennett Institute were allowed to apply for a drinks licence, and never looked back.
One young man in the congregation in those days was the author Alan Bennett; Ralph always maintained that Bennett's famous sermon "Esau was an hairy man and Jacob was a smooth man" was definitely not based on his own style.
In 1966 the Bishop of Ripon, Dr John Moorman, appointed him Canon Missioner in the diocese, and six years later made him his assistant as the Suffragan Bishop of Knaresborough. Ralph would often say that this was "the very best job in the Church of England".
Those on the evangelical wing of the church loved him for his robust preaching and knowledge of the scriptures; those of more Catholic persuasion admired his prayerfulness and spirituality; and those in the middle generally sensed that this dear man loved them and cared for them.
He acted as senior Bishop of the Diocese of Ripon for several months in 1975 when Bishop Moorman retired and again two years later when Bishop Hetley Price sadly died soon after his enthronement.
Retirement of a kind came in 1979 when Nancy and Ralph moved to a house in Wakefield.
He helped out regularly throughout the Diocese of Wakefield and for several months when the neighbouring See of Bradford was vacant he became senior bishop in that diocese.
Throughout his time he was still in demand as a leader of spiritual retreats and quiet days. Also the then-Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Runcie him to take over the care and oversight of a small number of clergy in the northern dioceses who for various reasons become alienated from their own bishops.
After a short illness, Nancy died in 1982. Ralph then soon moved back to Ripon to live in a flat nestling very near the beloved cathedral.
Eighteen years later, in 2000, to the surprise and delight of his many friends, when he was 86, Ralph married Mrs Elizabeth Firth, a widow, who had some years before been a teenager in the youth club at St Michael's Church, Headingley. They were happily married for eight years.
In cricketing terms, Ralph's 94 years is no mean achievement, especially when his life influenced for good so many people. It was a wonderful innings played with grace and not a little style.

The New Zealand Government needs to take some regional leadership on the climate change crisis which threatens the very existence of some Pacific Island nations.
New Zealand Green Party MP Kennedy Graham believes that Prime Minister John Key needs to set serious greenhouse gas emissions targets to help protect nations such as Kiribati and Tuvalu from rising sea levels.
"In this Pacific Year of Climate Change, Mr Key should use his Pacific tour to educate himself on the need for stronger climate change targets to stop rising sea levels from swamping some islands."
Dr Graham said Samoans realise the threat posed by climate change, with a week-long Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change workshop held in Apia just last week and an ongoing Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement Project investigating renewable energy sources such as windpower, hydropower and biofuels. Samoa's target is to have 20 percent of its energy supply coming from renewable sources by 2030.
"Small islands bear a disproportionate burden from climate change. Our own Pacific region is at risk and New Zealand needs to take some leadership on this impending ecological crisis," Dr Graham, the Green Party's International Climate Change Spokesperson, said.
Dr Graham said the Association of Small Island States (AOSIS) wants developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2020 and 90 percent by 2050 to reduce greenhouse gas concentration to below 350 parts per million. This is the level that current science indicates should avoid dangerous levels of climate change.
He calls on the New Zealand Government to set an effective 2020 target for emissions - at least 40 percent - before negotiations continue on an international treaty to replace the Kyoto agreement.
"I recently attended the first of the Government's public meetings on climate change. The message came through, loud and clear and virtually unanimously, from the 400 people present, that they wanted 40 percent cuts."
"In response, Minister Nick Smith displayed a modest style of leadership by stressing how difficult this would be, and by persistently misunderstanding the relationship between the economy and the environment. He still has some educating ahead of him, and perhaps the public meetings will help in that regard."

Hi Zimbra Gurus!
I'm hoping that someone can clarify a thing that is puzzling me about deploying zimbra in my network, migrating away from an old squirrelmail installation.
I have some fairly high security requirements on my installation, and the way zimbra works, seems to clash with my preconceptions.
In my mind, to achieve good security, you should:
* Never allow anyone on the internet to send traffic directly to an internal host on your *internal* network, no matter how encrypted.
(If an internal host is hacked, it has access to EVERYTHING)
* You always make sure that traffic enters your internal network through some kind of proxy/relay, located on your DMZ.
* The external hosts on the DMZ can therefore be compromized without allowing those host complete access to internal resources.
(A dmz-hacked host will at least be a little restricted on what it can do toward the internal network)
* Also, you dont put important, sensitive data directly out on the Dmz.
BUT I cant see how I can implement the above rules with Zimbra?
Zimbra wants all the email to be stored locally on the zimbra server, it cant be configured to actually just use imap to fetch the email, and maybe cache in the database.
This seems to tell me that zimbra must be my main mailserver, with all user accounts, and because of that, I either have to :
* Allow all traffic directly from the internet to the zimbra server. ()
* Put my zimbra server, with all my users email accounts, on the DMZ ()
What I *want* is a "zimbra-proxy" on the dmz, and then keep all data on the inside.
I'd appreciate any comments/help you can offer on how I can satisfy my security requirements....

Antonio Damasio, University Professor, David Dornsife Chair in Neuroscience and professor of psychology and neurology at USC Dornsife, spoke about the neuroscience of creativity during a recent conference held in San Diego that drew 30,000 scientists worldwide.
Damasio's presentation launched the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience held Nov. 9 to 13. The event was presided over by Larry Swanson, Milo Don and Lucille Appleman Professor of Biological Sciences at USC Dornsife and president of the society.
At the event, severalkey faculty members from USC presented their latest pioneering research in neuroscience. Scientists and collaborators from 80 countries gathered for presentations by luminaries in the field, also including USC's Berislav Zlokovic, Dan Campbell and Dion Dickman.
"USC has shown how to use imaging and other technologies to discover the workings of the human mind," said Randolph Hall, vice president of research at USC. "Our ability to integrate technology and science is unmatched."
Director of the USC Brain and Creativity Institute based in USC Dornsife, Damasio presented with a fellow neuroscientist from Johns Hopkins University as well as a composer, a visual artist and an inventor. The discussion explored the nature of creativity and how the brain works to create extraordinary products in various fields.
Zlokovic, director of the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, delivered an hour-long presentation on the blood-brain barrier, the system that prevents toxic elements from reaching the brain. Zlokovic discussed the role that damage to the blood-brain barrier may play in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Campbell, assistant professor of psychiatry and the behavioral sciences at Keck, participated in a symposium on the genetic correlates of autism. Campbell's research focuses on the MSNP1AS gene, which contributes to the disorder.
The Society for Neuroscience is an international organization of scientists and physicians with nearly 42,000 members in more than 90 countries.

Water main breaks exceed 100 per year
Story by
Kevin Crowe & Kelly Thornton
When Alejandro Gonzalez woke to the sound of water in late December 2010, he rushed to the window to find a pipe had burst and water was gushing around his Mount Hope home.
The same section of main had ruptured three weeks earlier, flooding his neighbor's home. Gonzalez and his wife packed up to leave. The next day, the cast iron pipe broke a third time.
"We had to spend Christmas in the hotel with my kid," he said. "So, it was really bad, that time of year for us."
As significant delivery lines are nearing the end of their service life across San Diego, mains are breaking at a pace of more than 100 a year, according to an analysis of city data by Investigative Newsource, a nonprofit journalism center based at San Diego State University. Those breaks plus tens of thousands of leaks have squandered an estimated 360 million gallons of water since 2004.
It's not just water that's been lost.
San Diego has paid out at least $10 million to settle claims and pay contractors for repairs to private property that was damaged by water main breaks during the past eight years. More than $350,000 of that was to house people like the Gonzalez family forced from their homes by the breaks.
A three-month examination of water main breaks, their locations and costs and the city's practices found some streets, mostly in older neighborhoods, have suffered more than half a dozen water main breaks in the past eight years. The city auditor, in a report last September, said the city does not have a precise accounting of the condition of its water pipes, and because inspecting lines is so expensive "it is generally considered to be more cost-effective to simply fix lines when they break."
Roger Bailey, the city's public utilities director, defends the water department's record, given the vast delivery grid.
"I think the numbers we have in our system are not bad," he said, "but we still need to make sure it doesn't get worse and hopefully improve those numbers."
The biggest and costliest water main break over the past eight years was on Polk Street in North Park on March 1, 2010. About 24 million gallons flooded from a cast iron pipe into the street and surrounding homes. The city paid about $1.4 million to make repairs, house people and settle property claims.
The $10 million total paid out in claims by the city since 2004 doesn't include the cost of city crews who shut off valves and patch or replace broken mains, a cost that isn't tracked.
The auditor reported that the city has inspected about 5 1/2 of its 505 miles of large transmission pipelines since 2005, and none of its 2,958-mile network of smaller distribution pipelines. As a result, the city doesn't know exactly where the biggest problems are.
"By not fully assessing the conditions of its assets, the department will not have information on water pipes that are at high risk for failure and cannot make informed decisions regarding capital needs for these assets," city auditors wrote.
While the report acknowledged that physically assessing thousands of miles of underground pipes is unrealistic, auditors called for a periodic assessment, aided by software, to serve as a road map for which sections to replace first.
"I think it's important to understand that most of our assets are buried and you can't see them, unlike a street," said assistant utilities director Jim Fisher. "If you want to assess the condition of a street, you can walk the street or drive the street."

we are evaluating zimbra as a one for all replacement for our separate cyrus IMAP and MS Exchange installations. A feature used heavily in our workflows are the shared or workgroup folders you can have in IMAP servers.
I've found no equivilant in zimbra yet. Maybe we can substitute it with shared accounts, though this is not an optimal replacement.
But what we really need to have is to address mail folders directly, like firstname.lastname@example.com on our cyrus imap. We do this from alias files, scripts, procmailrcs and other sources and need an equivilant feature in zimbra.
Best regards,

Clyde Crashcup is a fictional character from the early-1960s animated television series The Alvin Show.
Clyde Crashcup (voiced by Shepard Menken) is a scientist in a white coat whose experiments invariably failed. His was the only voice heard in many of the episodes, because the other character in the series was his assistant Leonardo, who only whispered into Clyde's ear. In one episode, though, Clyde invented a wife (voiced by June Foray, who also portrayed Rocket J. Squirrel in Rocky and Bullwinkle, among many characters). Clyde had one of the four segments, and the Chipmunks starred in the other three (two of which were musical segments). In the episode "Crashcup Invents the Birthday Party", Foray provided the (all too audible) voice for the mother of Crashcup's inaudible assistant Leonardo.
Clyde Crashcup was primarily an inventor rather than a researcher, although he tended to "invent" things which had already been invented. However, in one episode, he built a functioning time machine. He typically would invent something by taking a pencil out of his lab coat's pocket and drawing a picture in midair of his conception: the picture would then become the actual object.
Clyde's catchphrase was to break down the name of his invention into its etonymic elements to explain his thought process. For example, when asked to justify the invention of the telephone, he would say "That's 'tele-' for tele and '-phone' for phone: telephone."No Comments

Portland, Oregon during the gray and rainy season is an ideal place to set a mystery story, adding a touch of monochromatic noir to the landscape. But the mystery in Cold Weather shares screen time with an exploration of different types of relationships, as writer/director Aaron Katz has done in his previous features, Quiet City and Dance Party USA. The combination results in a charming low-key film spiked with a touch of suspense.
Doug (Cris Lankenau) has just moved back to Portland after leaving college, where he had studied forensic science. He's not interested in a career at the moment, and ends up with a job at the local ice factory. In his spare time, he hangs out with his sister Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn) and reads old detective stories. His ex-girlfriend Rachel (Robyn Rikoon) shows up in town for a short trip, but doesn't show up for a date with Doug's coworker Carlos (Raul Castillo) and appears to have vanished. Doug and Gail team up, with help from Carlos to figure out where (and who) Rachel really is.
Doug may be fond of Sherlock Holmes and E.W. Hornung's Raffles stories, but he and his sister Gail are a sleuthing team in the same tradition as the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew -- young people using the library and other simple tools in the best way they know how. Despite Doug's forensic science classes, there's nothing CSI-ish here. The stakes here are a little higher than you find in teen-detective stories, however, and Nancy would never have ... well, you'll see.
It's the character interaction that carries the movie -- the way Doug and Gail get along, and the additions of their friends, potential dates and exes. Cold Weather takes its time to unspool both plot and character development -- don't expect a fast-paced thriller. I especially liked one scene in which Doug persuades his sister to play hookey from work to go whale-watching on a turbulent day. The movie has a quirky sense of humor, too, as in the scene where Doug decides he needs a Sherlock Holmesian pipe. The ending feels a bit sudden until you realize that it's given you everything you need.
To be honest, it took a few scenes for me to realize that Doug and Gail were brother and sister and not a couple, even though the first scene in the film is a dinner with their parents. Perhaps this is because they get along so well -- they may bicker occasionally but are generally very comfortable together. I'm not used to this type of sibling relationship in movies or in real life -- a movie about my sister and I solving a mystery wouldn't be nearly so laid-back, it would be a wacky Hollywood comedy starring Tina Fey and Sandra Bullock.
The plot of Cold Weather takes a little while to get going (I'll avoid the obvious "warm up" jokes here) but fortunately the characters are interesting enough to hold your attention while waiting for the mystery to unfold -- Doug's forensic science background and the shots of him reading Raffles provides clues a detective story will reveal itself eventually. Cold Weather isn't a big splashy thriller, it's a miniature in shades of gray, with some hidden surprises in the corners of the landscape that reward patient viewers.

Hi everyone,
I just found these forums while trying to find the solution to an issue I have been having with my Shimano RSX STI brifters. I haven't tried the solution yet, but there was so much information on these forums that I felt like I had to sign up!
Anyway - I'm a recent college graduate who enjoys biking quite a bit but is still pretty much a newbie at things. I just bought a used 1996 Specialized Allez, and I love it. I'm a little bigger rider (~240 pounds), but so far the bike is treating me really well. I'm looking forward to many many miles on the new bike, and looking forward frequenting these forums.

Samsung S1 mini Review
An expert reviewer at CNET praised the Samsung S1 mini for its sleek design and small size, but they noted that it is quite a bit more expensive (per gigabyte of storage) than its competitors. An expert reviewer at The Register Hardware reach a similar conclusion, praising the style and size of this hard drive, but noting that there are cheaper alternatives available. Another expert from Tom's Hardware was very impressed with the S1 Mini's small size. This reviewer was also pleased with the performance and the backup software that comes with this hard drive.
The Samsung Si Mini is small enough to be mistaken for a cell phone (as one reviewer commented). It weighs only 91 grams and comes with two USB cables. It also comes bundled with two backup programs (Auto Backup and SecretZone).
While reviewer noted that you can get a cheaper hard drive that will work just as well, if you like the style and size of the Samsung S1 Mini, it should be a good performer for you.

VE7CA's Test Bench
Since becoming an amateur radio operator I have built a lot of equipment. Testing is the most important part of building a working high performance homebrew amateur radio transciever. One never seems to have enough test equipment so always keep your eyes open when attending swap meets etc. for test equipment that you don't have in your shack.
The workshop where I build and test my equipment is located in a closet that is located adjacent to my ham radio operating desk. 8 foot wide folding doors provide a way of hiding the sometimes messy work shop. The following picture shows the current setup with room for parts bins and test equipment. This picture was taken when I was adding six meters to the HBR-2000.
The following photos show some of the test equipment I built during the development of the HBR2000. At the bottom is a step attenuator, the box below the scope houses the Spectrum Analyzer based on the W7ZOI/K7TAU design (August 1998 QST) and above the scope is a the Power Meter based on W7ZOI/W7PUA design (June 2001 QST) with digital read out addition by K3NHI (May/June 2002 QEX). For information regarding repairs to the HP8640 signal generator shown below the scope in the right bottom of the picture, click "HP8640 HINTS AND KINKS"

This was a decent campground, with a number of permanent residents with campers that looked quite run down. A few conversations with other campers indicated that satellite reception is only possible with carryout dishes, due to trees close to most of the sites. There are garbage barrels located throughout the park that are emptied every morning. Our site was rather short, and even with our 30' 5er back as far as we could go without leaving the pavement there was no room for our tow vehicle. The cost of camping here is greatly increased for out of towners, as seems to be the case at every county owned park on Long Island. I guess they don't want NYC people to consume all the spaces that the locals taxes pay for.
Overall, this is a good choice for anyone wanting to visit NYC, as the train can take you into Manhattan to Penn Station cheaply. There you can access the subway to anywhere in the city. - Thorfinn

This is a very clean, pretty camp & would be perfect & worthy of a 10 rating if they had wifi, sewer hookups & a laundry. It took us several days & finally moving our motor home forward in our space to be able to get reception on our TV satellite. (I don't think many sites here are located in such a way as to get satellite, because of the trees.) There is a laundromat pretty close & they do have a sewer dump. Not a lot of equipment for children to play on so it was mostly adults - nice and quiet. We would stay here again if for a very short time. (It is owned/managed by the county.) So the price paid for a space is a bit high for what you get. - K Martin

This is a shocking oasis in a busy part of Long Island. Sites are very wide/spread out, almost level(ish), and rest room/showers are passable. For a county park we were very happily surprised and pleased to have stayed here. Many families appear to stay here quite a while and make the most if it with outdoor furniture, hanging plants and great little patios on their campers. Quiet and relaxed. Nice stop on a long trip. Glad we chose Battle Row. - Texas Fleetwood

Until now, folks looking to build or develop in Lowndes County have had a tough time trying to find and follow local building guidelines.
That will soon change now that Lowndes County is seeking public input to put all the building and development requirements into one simple 20-year plan.
Richard Lee, County Commissioner, says, "Basically this will help us pull together our development process so people who are building in a subdivision or building a new business that they will get less 'runaround' than they may currently be getting."
Developers who are already working on projects around Lowndes County say they favor a unified plan because it would make their job easier, helping get things done in a timely manner.
Jeff Lovell, an engineer and developer, says, "I think a unified plan is going to enhance the development here. I think development is already moving good around here, but I think this will make it easier for outside people to come in and understand what needs to be done to develop in Lowndes County."
County leaders say speeding up the process is important because time is money.
Lee adds, "The longer they're delayed in bringing about a new development, the less money they make and the less money is poured back into our community."

What can be used in place of " boiled cider " Susan
Substitute boiled cider
Replies to this discussion
reply by: pjh on September 12, 2010 at 5:10 pm
You won't get exactly the same effect, Susan, but you can try thawed frozen apple juice concentrate. Or cranberry juice concentrate or cherry juice concentrate (different flavors, same intensity). Maple syrup or honey, but you'll be missing the apple flavor... We'll be getting our new supply in beginning of net month, if you want to try the real thing.
reply by: Christian T on September 13, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Isn't the cider jelly sold by KAF the same thing, just boiled down more? Might be almost a one to one substitution.

Arc, if you don't know, is Paul Graham's "100 year language", or, more prosaically, new version of Lisp. It was heavily trailed on reddit (back when reddit was interesting), and an early version was released in January last year.
But nothing much seems to have happened since then - the forum is virtually dead, and there's nothing new on Paul Graham's own site. Does anybody know what's going on?

Made For Each Other
MVD Visual // 1939 // 90 Minutes // Not Rated
Pot O' Gold
MVD Visual // 1941 // 85 Minutes // Not Rated
Reviewed by Judge Kerry Birmingham (Retired) // January 22nd, 2009
It's the prize romantic laugh of the year...more fun than winning the POT O' GOLD!
They're the movies that lurk in every productive actor's portfolio, swelling between the would-be classics and the blockbusters, lurking amongst the paycheck roles and what-were-they-thinking bombs. They're the staple of the working actor's oeuvre, these movies that are Merely Adequate: not good enough to be ranked among the performer's best, not bad enough to be considered a turkey. It's simply the law of averages: make enough movies, some of them will be good, some of them will be bad, and some of them will be capable, forgettable, just plain okay. Collected here are two such films from beloved film icon James Stewart, an actor who, along with famous roles in It's a Wonderful Life and Harvey, made a dizzying number of westerns and as a leading man made his reputation as a likeable everyman. The two films here-1939's Made for Each Other and 1941's Pot o' Gold -- are from Stewart's own vast selection of middling roles in middling pictures which, like the man himself, get by on a general likeability and the goodwill of a generous audience.
In Made for Each Other, Stewart stars as John, a fledgling attorney who, on a business trip, impulsively marries a girl he has known for only a day, Jane (Carole Lombard, My Man Godfrey). Returning home with his unexpected new bride, John faces unexpected challenges with his put-upon new bride, not the least of which are an ungrateful boss, a jilted would-be lover, an overbearing mother-in-law, and the skepticism of virtually everyone around them.
Pot o' Gold features Stewart as good-hearted Jimmy, owner of a small-town music shop whose sudden unemployment forces him to accept the offer of his estranged uncle Charles (Charles Winninger, Show Boat)) of a job in the family business. Moving to the big city, Jimmy is overwhelmed by his new position at his curmudgeonly uncle's company and gets swept up with a local family of Irish musicians. Even as Stewart falls for the daughter, Molly (Paulette Goddard, The Great Dictator), he discovers that the family and his uncle are hated enemies, and must try to keep both sides happy without letting on to either that he is fraternizing with the enemy.
No bones about it: these are not among Stewart's best. If the worst you can say about a movie, however, is that it suffers from a general amiability, then that's at least a testament to the competence of the filmmakers and the charisma of the leads. Both films do indeed "suffer" from a kind of casual, ingratiating sincerity that covers up most of the flaws; it's hard to complain about films that get by on the sort of genial charm that only films of this era seem to attain.
Easily the better of the two is Pot o' Gold, a romantic farce in which Stewart, working the earnest everyman trope on which he built the best roles of his career, stumbles, bumbles, and occasionally weasels out of the kinds of situations which, in a different movie, could have been resolved in less than two minutes of talking. Instead, Stewart's Jimmy bounces like a pinball between his recalcitrant uncle and Charles's nemeses, the large family whose music and joviality are as much a nuisance to him as their house, which rests on property Uncle Charles hopes to annex for his expanding factory. Jimmy, rather than come clean about his involvement with either side, gets involved in an increasingly convoluted series of well-meaning deceptions punctuated by the occasional musical number (like Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion, which Pot o' Gold's whimsical, musical structure resembles, the songs are plentiful without turning the proceedings into a full-blown musical). It's a delicate balancing act, keeping the screwball tone in synch with the tentative romance (Goddard's Molly McCorkle is luminous, if insubstantial). This is a distinctly "movie" world, where the crushing poverty of the McCorkle family's life is inconsequential to the grumpy oppression of Uncle Charles and everyone could break into song and dance at any given time. The multiple felonies perpetrated by Jimmy are all in the name of love and laughter, however, and there's no doubt from the first reel how Jimmy's wooing of Molly is going to go, acts of assault (with a tomato) and fraud be damned. Pot o' Gold isn't a shining example of the era or of the genre, but it's good fun with an affable, effortless Stewart.
Less impressive is Made for Each Other, at turns prone to sitcom contrivance and cliché melodrama. The set-up is a fine one for a romantic comedy -- can new love translate into lifelong love? -- but the romantic comedy aspects quickly reveal themselves as office-politics gaffes and newlywed gags that were probably tired even in the '40s. The idea of the boss coming for dinner and-shock!-everything going wrong, jeopardizing John's Big Promotion, is about as inventive as the plotting gets. John and Jane's beleaguered married life, saddled mainly by a strict boss and domineering mother-in-law, deals more with external pressures than with the compatibility issues such a whirlwind romance would cause in the world. Lest the emphasis on love conquering all convince anyone that this exists in the same screwball universe as Pot o' Gold , the movie takes a few dark turns as nebbish John, unable to face being a poor provider for his family, becomes a drunk brooding enough to rival George Bailey's weakest moment. It marks a final transition into bathos from an uneasy mix of marital comedy and drama, culminating in a life-or-death action sequence that feels imported from an adventure serial. It's a peculiar plot for what is set up as a comedy, but is instead a mostly humorless examination on the mechanics of a marriage. We're meant to see Lombard and Stewart, as the supernaturally unlucky couple, as plucky despite their travails, but the uneven mix of high drama and low comedy never quite finds its tone.
While the films themselves get a pass based on charm alone, the production quality of the DVD gets a severe reprimand. Having apparently passed into the public domain, both films can be found in various versions and in various states of disrepair through various companies. This version, released by the unfortunately named Wienerworld, features some of the laziest DVD transfers of any movie regardless of age, with strained, muffled, barely-intelligible soundtracks (be sure to crank the sound) and blurry, scratched, and distorted picture quality throughout both films, complete with frame jumps. There's even an off-color "Film Fest" watermark at the bottom of the frame throughout both features, evidently a relic of whatever source tape was used for Wienerworld's transfers. Combined with the lack of special features, including subtitles, the whole release seems tailored for Wal-Mart bargain bins and undiscerning consumers. Even a pair of Stewart's lesser movies deserves better treatment than this, and all but the least picky of viewers should probably seek out superior releases of both movies.
Both films are worth watching as minor relics from the Golden Age of the movies, but the transfers undeniably detract from the viewing experience. Lombard, Goddard, and of course Stewart manage to elevate pedestrian productions. There's nothing embarrassing to anyone's body of work here, but there's a reason these films have been largely ignored and, based on the video quality, neglected.
The films themselves get a gentle pat on the back and an "'Atta boy!" from the court before being sent cheerily on their way. Wienerworld is hereby ordered to clean up their act, by which I mean "try."

It was almost music to the ears of industry when Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, speaking at the AGM of Ficci, referred to excessive discretion in environmental laws that delays projects and in turn, restricts growth by substantially delaying employment and stimulation of economic activity, especially in these depressed times. Though environment-related compliance are important and often non-negotiable, there is significant room for improvement in terms of clearance time, predictability and cost in the administration of these rules and procedures.
Ficci members mapped the forest clearance process for large infrastructure projects. It was found that forest clearance files at the state level moved to at least one hundred and fifteen tables before getting cleareddelays at the central level are an extra. The Ashok Chawla Committee on Allocation of Natural Resources noted that 40% of all projects above 40 hectares take more than three years to receive both Stage I (in-principle) and Stage II (final) clearances under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
Mining projects of area above 100 hectares take, on average, take about 44 months to obtain Stage II clearance. Not surprisingly, despite its high rank as an attractive business destination, India is seen to be a difficult place to operate in.
Gandhis observations and expectations are validated if one looks at the experience of many other countries; a few states in India have shown it is possible to cut down on both discretion and clearance time in environmental as well as other laws also.
It is high time that our government examines and reviews all the laws that impact our business environment. We can learn from Mexico which launched The Agreement for Deregulation of Business Activity in 1995 whereby 95% of their regulations were reviewed and revised with an estimated 40% reduction in either their scope or mandate. Within India, states such as Tamil Nadu and Gujarat have taken initiatives like e-governance and consolidation of returns which have made a marked impact by cutting down on procedural time and hassles. They provide for time-bound authorisations through e-files and the file that has exceeded the stipulated days in work-flow is auto-reflected to the next level for processing. Disposal rates of applications have vastly improved as a result of these initiatives.
Our government is also trying to establish an independent regulator, the National Environment Appraisal and Monitoring Authority, which is yet to see the light of the day. The PM has taken note of its importance,
