The distance an automobile can travel in h hours at an average rate of 50 miles an hour is found y the formula d=50h. Problem: A car was driven for 3 hours. The driver then stopped 3/4 of an hour for lunch. After lunch he drove for 2 and 1/2 hours, then stopped 1/2 hr for a flat tire. After that he resumed driving the car. There is another car that starts from the same place 3 hrs after the first car and overtakes the first in 5hrs. Determine the rate of the second car. How far apart will the cars be 1 and 1/2 hours after the second car starts?

Our new "Dapper" – lace up ankle boot.
Lace up ankle boots are some of the most popular footwear in the world. Before specialized motorcycle boots were made, many riders would use whatever sturdy boots were available to provide this essential part of their gear.
Today, ankle boots are practical and fashionable, whether you ride a Bobber, a Cafe Racer, or custom Scrambler.
They are great off the bike as well, any time you need a sturdy boot that looks sharp, they go great with ripped jeans, or a wool suit, any time of year.
Constructed of high quality top grain 1.8 – 2mm outer leather
Vat dyed so the color permeates the leather, resisting scuffs and wear.
Solid, natural rubber soles for excellent grip and durability when riding. Springy and limber, not spongy like synthetic foam. Comfortable for walking – if you break down you'll be glad you wore Gasolinas!
Goodyear welt construction, completely sewn. They can be re-soled if ever needed.
Read more about the Goodyear welt.
They are available in US men's sizes 7-14, in medium width only at the moment.
(the fit is slightly narrower than our Classic and similar models)
Since sizes vary with different manufacturers we ask our customers to email us three simple measurements, in addition to the size you wear most often.
We use only the highest quality natural leather, rich and pliable, because of this, the texture can vary with every pair of boots.
Because we have so many sizes and custom options, we only small number of possible combinations in stock, and make them, to order, for each customer.
For this reason all our boots take 2-3 weeks to make and have ready to ship.
If you need them in a hurry please contact us before ordering – we may have your size in stock.

This will be the first part of a series of posts I will write on Jordan B Peterson. Now, for anyone who isn't familiar with the situation (ie is not Canadian), Jordan Peterson is a professor at UofT who released a video titled "Profesor against Political Correctness: Part 1", in which he outlines some of his thoughts on some new legislation called Bill C-16. The bill is a proposed amendment to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code in order to recognize discrimination on the grounds of "gender identity or expression" (AKA codify hate crimes against Transgender persons into law). I won't go into the legal arguments around this bill - but I will leave this link here to a debate b/w Peterson and a Canadian Legal expert and expert on Transgender issues and allow you to decide which one had the better arguments (Spoiler: I think the 2 experts won by a wide margin. But I'll probably comment on that another day).
Initially, I wanted to cover everything he's written on the subject, starting with the video that started it all. However, as time passed, I realized that such a chore was probably unnecessary. I think there is enough wrong with his first video to inductively undermine his argument as a whole. Although such a strategy may seem like cheating - it really isn't. I know this isn't philosophically kosher - but I have an intuition that the burden of proof should be on the person making the grandiose claims. Now, I'm aware that Peterson's arguments are intended to be evaluated within the context of his worldview - but I think there is more than enough evidence from his initial video alone that various aspects of his worldview are mistaken. Also, before I go any further, I'll link you to a series of facebook comments I've written that are at least tangentially related this controversy.
So, the video begins with Peterson claiming that he's "very worried" about the "direction things are going in", due to his knowledge about the way totalitarian and authoritarian political states develop". Correct me if I'm wrong - but it sounds like his argument is that Canada is treading the waters of totalitarianism because it's becoming too politically correct. Now, my knowledge of Russian history isn't the best - but I don't remember the part where the USSR formed because one professor was told to address his trans students by the gender-neutral pronoun "they" instead of the gendered pronouns "he" or "she". Because that's what this is about. Bill C16 doesn't force you to remember the many neo-pronouns out there. It merely requires you to use the gender neutral pronoun "they" (which, although some prescriptive grammarians consider to be exclusively plural, it doesn't necessarily have to be thata way, as I will explain later).
All jokes aside though - my inner linguist knows that language mutates all the time - just like biological organisms incrimentally mutate via evolution. Keep in mind there are around 3000 - 7000 languages in the world, depending on what you call a language, and the vast majority of them are parts of linguistic families, which imply that various languages branched off of earlier languages. Plus, it's well known that languages accept new words, such as "loanwords", all the time. So from a global perspective, adding a new gender-neutral pronoun to English is hardly out of the ordinary. Oh, and to get back to the previous point about "they" being allegedly exclusively plural - there are many instances of 2 words having the same phonetic form (pronunciation) and the same spelling, but having different meanings (These words are both homonyms and homographs). So there is no reason "they" can't be both the plural and the singular, gender-neutral pronoun.
Now, I know a key part of this debate is in how these new words are legally enacted. Now, while it's true that new words aren't usually forced upon speakers externally, I can think of a few cases in which they are: racial epithets, older classifications for "mental illnesses", and other forms of "derogatory language". Now, Peterson has argued that it's a false equivalency to compare racial epithets like the "N-word" with a refusal to use a gender neutral pronoun, since in one case, the racial epithet is an example of what not to say, while in the other case, it's an example of what to say. This argument, while appearing persuasive at first falls apart once one realizes that many languages have gender neutral pronouns or are gender neutral in general. And not just in the grammatical sense of gender. So really, it's not controlling "what you say" so much as it's removing the requirement that every person be ascribed a gender. Which IMO improves the scope of what can be expressed in our language - making English a more descriptive language.
So, why is it too much to ask to use gender neutral pronouns when dealing with trans persons, but not to use other forms of derogatory language? Is the problem with the way we classify derogatory language? Because you gotta admit, the idea that a persecuted minority accounting for less than 1% of the population don't seem like very good candidates for a nationwide conspiracy to steal your liberties. Or is it for purely for pragmatic reasons (since, as mentioned earlier, trans persons account for less than 1% of the population)? But then, where is the limit? People like to draw a parallel by asking whether we should be forced, by law, to address people as unicorns if asked. But I think the key failing of this line of reasoning is that, well, no one actually asks to be addressed as a unicorn. I think it completely misses the point, because we have at least a decent understanding of what makes trans persons feel the way they do. So we have objective evidence that the phenomena exists. We don't have that for people claiming they feel like unicorns.
Now, I personally think there is something more nefarious behind the line of argumentation adopted by Peterson and his ilk. Which isn't to say that they are bad people - but rather, that their philosophy is stained by certain underlying assumptions that are probably more politically motivated than anything else. I won't go into any more detail in this post except to point this out: he seems to suggest that people who use political correctness are basically "second-handers". Which, to be blunt, sounds like the kind of argument your crazy conservative right-wing uncle might make. Which isn't to say that his argument is completely illegitimate and therefore not worthy of engagement. Or maybe it does. Regardless, I'm a masochist, so I'll probably end up tackling this line of reasoning in a future blog post. And I'll probably write another on whether the rise of totalitarian and authoritarian states are really is analogous to what we're seeing by the "advent" of Political Correctness (spoiler: I think it's the exact opposite thing that's happening). But for now, I'm going to hit the books. Peace ya'll!

How Wire-Free Charging Will Affect The Automotive Industry
The United States is home to the largest passenger vehicle market of any country in the world. Overall, there were an estimated 254.4 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States according to a recent DOT study. So it's not surprising that charging phones and other devices in cars, vans and trucks has attracted the attention of US automobile manufacturers.
Today, cellphones, smartphones and tablets are a part of everyday life. According to PewResearch, as of January 2014, 90% of American adults have a cellphone, 58% have a smartphone and 42% own a tablet computer. Anyone using these devices knows just how fast the battery can drain. From commuters and vacationers to contractors and service people to law enforcement and emergency workers, having a charged phone or other battery operated device in their vehicle can be very important if not life critical.
Following the Dodge Dart, Jeep Cherokee and Toyota Avalon in 2013, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota all offered in-vehicle wire-free charging solutions in 2014. These vehicles include the Dart, Viper, Caravan, Town & Country, 200, RAM, F150, Super Duty, Edge, Fusion and Scion xB10 which are using conductive wire-free technology for charging phones and tablets. The Avalon, Cherokee and Camry XL are using inductive wire-free charging for phones. Reports indicate that other vehicles and manufacturers will enter the market over the next few years including factory installed, accessory upgrades and aftermarket products.
At the present time inductive wire-free charging is dedicated to charging one phone in vehicles. Conductive in-vehicle charging however has the power to charge more than one phone. Conductive in-vehicle charging can also charge iPads, tablets and other devices. While Mom can be charging her smart phone, kids can be charging their tablet in the back seat.
Like many new automotive electronic products the road to the commercial marketplace can be difficult and time consuming. Automotive OEMs are keenly interested that any device being integrated into their vehicle will function harmoniously with existing electronics and mechanical systems and require Design Failure Mode/Effects Analysis (DFMEA). This includes various Electrical Requirements including minimum/maximum operating voltage & current draw, reverse voltage requirement, power-line voltage ripple, transients. The device is also required to meet specific Electromotive Compatibility (EMC) and Electromotive Interference (EMI) requirements. The device must not emit harmful levels of electromagnetic radiation or excessive electronic "noise" that interferes with other devices in the vehicle.
As wire-free charging technology is adopted and implemented into more vehicles it will be a natural progression to see wire-free charging used in other devices and other transportation. These would include tablets, laptops, power tools, small appliances, mobile printers and scanners for emergency and commercial vehicles, trucking and recreational vehicles. Console chargers can keep smartphones, tablets and laptops fully charged. Interior shelving with wire-free charging can keep power tools, laptops and other products charged for contractors and service people during their drive between worksites and appointments.
In order to operate these higher power applications wire-free charging must generate additional wattage. Reports indicate that inductive resonance will increase from 5 to 15 watts, with magnetic resonance reaching 50 watts and conductive providing over 150 watts.
According to MarketsandMarkets Research, the total wireless charging market is expected to grow by over 60 percent (CAGR) per year from 2014 to 2020, reaching over $13 billion. While wire-free charging addresses a number of markets many believe that automotive will be the key to driving the market. As additional vehicles and manufacturers enter the market over the next few years we expect to see wire-free charging employed in everyday life across multiple demographics in schools, businesses and at home.

European shares decline on lingering Greek uncertainty
* FTSEurofirst 300 and Greek ATG index both down 1 pct
* Margins pressure weighs on Pernod shares
* Europe bourses in 2015: link.reuters.com/pap87v
* Asset performance in 2015: link.reuters.com/gap87v
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - European shares slipped on Tuesday, as lingering uncertainty over the outcome of Greece's negotiations with creditors weighed on the region's stock markets.
Greece's leftist government has put forward first proposals for pension reform, the European Union's economics chief said on Tuesday, as debt talks with international creditors reach a crunch point.
Greece must repay four loans totalling 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion) to the International Monetary Fund this month, starting with a 300 million euro payment on June 5.
Failure to reach agreement this month could trigger a Greek default and lead to the imposition of capital controls and a potential exit from the euro zone, dealing a blow to Europe's supposedly irreversible single currency. Continuación...

Appraisal Done!
Great news! The house appraised for $10,000 more than purchase price. I guess all the negotiating was worth it! The only other thing that was noted on the appraisal was a broken window that we had already asked the sellers to replace after we did the inspection.We'll need the window replaced before we can close so hopefully it come in sometime over the holidays.

Lives Intertwined: First Dance
We went into our first dance immediately after making our entrance. You might recall from here and here, that choosing a song for our first dance was a tough decision.We ended up selecting "I Belong to You" by Eros Ramazzotti and Anastacia in Spanish but the Universe conspired against us and the DJ played the
Italian version instead. No biggie we smiled and kept dancing...
Video via YouTube
Our first dance was a blast! Instead of being a romantic and tender moment as I had always imagined, we spent the whole dance whispering inside jokes in each others ears, giggling and making silly faces. I guess we just couldn't contain our happiness! We really aren't serious or formal people so our laid-back fun attitude during the day was us just being ourselves.

Lives Intertwined: The Details
The details... the fruit of my labor and many hours of Pintrest. I hope you can find some inspiration in the following pictures and prepare for an overload of purple.
|My Ribbon Seating chart was taped to the glass wall on the side of the entrance
As soon as you entered the reception space you were greeted by a small table holding our guestbook. We decided on having a Jenga guestbook because my shelves are already full of albums and scrapbooks and our walls can't hold one more framed item. I wanted something "useful", something that would hold a purpose other than just carrying the notes from our wedding guests. That lead us to Jenga, a board game we already owned and was a hit on game nights, it's something we can pull out to play (reminisce) every now and then, even our kids might get to play with them.
|I put all of the pieces inside a glass fishbowl
|Added some pretty (fine point) purple pens
|And since I had forgotten to create a sign, instructed the Under 21's to make sure they wrote something when they came in so others would follow suit. I'm pleased to say we got a note from everyone at the wedding under 50 years old.
|Some of them are pretty funny. One of our college friends wrote a note to our future children instructing them to be nice on the one day of the year where I'll pull out the Wedding Jenga and make them play.
I forgot to add " empty reception space" to the list of must have fotos but I'll try to give you an idea of what the room looked like.
These two next cellphone photos were taken by Mami Boa the afternoon before the wedding and it shows the reception space sans flowers.
* Guest pictures
Next, are the wonderful table numbers and I Spy Game that we set on each table. Apparently people like them a lot because at the end of the reception we only had two left. The guests had taken their table numbers home!
We had two types of arrangements: the short ones were white hydrangeas with purple and white roses and some orchids in the water. Please take notice of the wonderful purple table overlay, my favorite piece of the reception decor.
The second type of arrangement was tall, with white hydrangeas, purple roses and lots of orchids and white calla lilies.
|*Guest Picture
Here is how the tables looked
|*Guest Picture
In the front of the room we had three tables:
*Guest Picture
One of the tables held our coffee favors
The other two tables held our cake and us!
|Closeup of the flowers on the sweetheart table... all of the orchids on this table were grown by my grandmother
And the last table held our fabulous cupcake tower
|Here are the Nutella with Nutella butercream cupcakes
|And the Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Buttercream
|The other two flavors available were: Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Lemon with Vanilla Buttercream
|The top tier was Red Velvet Cake and was supposed to be frozen to our anniversary but we ate ALL of it when we came back from the honeymoon.
Our beloved Mickey and Minnie Cake topper didn't make it unto the cake. it was way to heavy and could have toppled the whole thing over. So it sat on the sidelines... but still looked pretty especially after Lil Boa painted the hearts on the figurine with nail polish so it would match the decor.

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington Bring "2 Guns" to the Summer of Sony
Posing with a truckload of cash, Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington attended the "2 Guns" photo call at the 5th Annual Summer Of Sony at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cancun, Mexico on Saturday (April 20).
The "Boogie Nights" star wore a blue polo shirt and dark jeans while he struck some tough poses alongside the "Flight" stud, who chose a simple black T-shirt and jeans.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, the action flick follows a DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence officer who have been tasked with investigating one another, and find they have been set up by the mob -- the very organization the two men believe they have been stealing money from.
Joining the handsome pair in the film are Paula Patton, James Marsden, Bill Paxton, and Edward James Olmos. "2 Guns" hits theaters on August 2nd.

Eixample, which in Catalan means 'extension', is Barcelona's most centrally located neighbourhood. The area is characterised by its streets designed in a grid pattern, the vision of architect Ildefons Cerdà, who combined the needs for traffic flow with light and ventilation. The needs of the residents were also taken into account so you can find schools, hospitals and markets at almost every few blocks. Art Nouveau and Modernista architecture dominates the area, in particular that of Antoni Gaudí whose works La Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, and La Pedrera can all be found here. There are also many new buildings as well as offices, markets, restaurants, hotels, cinemas and international designer stores. It is also the central business district of the city where the Stock Exchange and banks' main offices are located. The city's stunning main boulevard Paseo de Gracia divides the district into 'Eixample Left' and 'Eixample Right' and merges into the district of Gracia.

pamelachuda replied to Fernando 1's topic in nLiteThanks Loopb. I built a nlite with Nvidia drivers AHCI. I thought that when you install XP, by default picked up the hard disk in AHCI mode and the cd / dvd-rom ide mode. apparently not so. I do not know how to do that from the nlite. You can tell as you did.
pamelachuda replied to Fernando 1's topic in nLiteThanK you. Fernando. In the bios there are two ways to put the modo.cuando is placed in defaults of the bios is set to SATA ENHANCED and has since AHCI0 in the hard disk and CD / DVDROM in AHCI1. In this way I can start the hearing that the windows came with the laptop. in order to use the xp what I have to change the bios to SATA COMPATIBLE. here puts SATA0 as the hard disk and CD / DVDROM as SATA1. AHCI mode when it leaves me to install the OS XP, it recognizes the hard disk and can start installing XP, the problem comes when you restart to complete installation, no longer recognizes the hard disk (I guess that is), jumps the blue screen error 0x0000007b
pamelachuda replied to Fernando 1's topic in nLiteHello everyone I want to comment on a problem I have with nlite, I have a laptop with asus T5750 CPU with Nvidia nforce MCP79 chipset, with Windows Vista installed. I have xp disk with the drivers of AHCI nForce_SATA_IDE_103042_for_XP_32bit_WHQL. when you install XP in Safe mode Sata installs and runs perfectly well in SATA mode, but when I install AHCI mode in changing the way the disk bios.el generated with nlite detects the hard drive and install it leaves me, but at the restart to complete the Installation jumps the blue screen. that can not find disc. Any suggestions?
pamelachuda replied to Fernando 1's topic in nLiteHola a todos quiero comentar un problema que tengo con nlite, tengo una laptop asus con cpu T5750 con chipset Nvidia nforce MCP79, con Windows vista instalado. He hecho un disco de xp con los controladores AHCI de nForce_SATA_IDE_103042_for_XP_32bit_WHQL. cuando instalo el XP en Modo Sata se instala bien y funciona perfectamente en modo sata, pero cuando instalo en modo AHCI cambiando el modo en la bios.el disco generado con nlite detecta el disco duro y me deja instalarlo, pero al reiniciarse para completar la instalacion salta la pantalla azul. de que no encuentra disco. Alguna sugerencia?

Lynn Thomson is best known as a bookseller. She's worked in bookselling for years, first at Book City on Toronto's Danforth Avenue, and then at her husband's bookstore, Ben McNally Books. Now, Lynn can be known as an author - and a birder. She recently published a memoir about bird watching with her son, Yeats, aptly titled Birding With Yeats. Both Lynn and Yeats were on CBC Radio's The Next Chapter recently to discuss the book. You can listen to their conversation with Shelagh Rogers in the audio player below:
Lynn and Yeats took up bird watching in 2007, just as their lives were both beginning to change dramatically. Yeats, who is introspective and shy, was just starting high school, and Lynn was about to go back to work for the first time in almost 15 years. Immediately, bird watching became a way for them to escape their busy, changing lives and to grow closer together. "I love stepping out the front door, knowing that we're going bird watching and knowing that I can leave everything else in my life behind," Lynn said. "We didn't talk about homework, we didn't talk about the bookstore, about anything else that was bothering us. It was a way to get out of our everyday life and into the forest or out on the marshes and really be there in my life at that time."
As Yeats grew older, however, he began to pull away from his mother - and eventually asked if he could bird watch alone. At first Lynn struggled with this. But as she threw herself into bookselling and writing, she realized that it was an evolution that needed to happen. "It's time for Yeats to grow up and do his own thing. Sometimes I do want to go birding with him, but I understand what he needs to do," she said. "We all grow up a little bit."

PARIS (AFP) – A new compound, tested so far on rats, shows promise in restoring functions lost by paralysing injury to the spinal cord, a study said on Wednesday.
Called intracellular sigma peptide (ISP), the drug helped lab animals with severe spinal injury recover the ability to urinate or move, or both, it said.
More work is needed, but the scientists behind ISP said the results boosted hopes for a future therapy for humans. "We're very excited at the possibility that millions of people could, one day, regain movements lost during spinal cord injuries," said Jerry Silver, a professor of neurosciences at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
Published in the journal Nature, the research looked at ways of overcoming scarring when nerve fibres in the spinal cord are damaged and signals from the brain no longer reach muscles below the injury site.
Nerve fibres try to cross the injury site and reconnect with other fibres, but become trapped at the scar site by sticky proteins called proteoglycans.
ISP is designed to act on the receptor on the surface of the nerve cells. Like a switch, it turns off a response to the proteoglycans that causes the blockage.
In the experiment, 26 rats were given severe spinal cord injuries followed by daily injections of the treatment for seven weeks.
Twenty-one of the 26 regained one or more of three functions – the ability to walk, to balance and to control when and how much they urinated.
Some animals regained all three, others one or two, and five none. Why a specific animal regained a specific function remains unclear.
ISP drug did not cause nerve fibres that control movement to cross the scar area and reconnect with those on the other side.

Huge numbers of ex-military personnel and NHS staff are said to be caught up in the chaos, which is thought to date back years.
The Government has already made clear it will not seek to "claw back" the cash immediately.
However, Chancellor Alistair Darling said the individuals would be forced to accept lower payments in future - sparking fears that many could be left struggling to make ends meet.
The problem could be made worse because recent heavy falls on the stock market and sharp reductions in interest rates have cut pensioners' income from savings.
The situation emerged after Lib Dem Treasury spokesman Vince Cable received a tip-off and challenged Mr Darling in the Commons. He said a firm called Xafinity Paymaster were believed to have overpaid public sector pensions to former servicemen and health service staff "for decades".
Dr Cable revealed that he raised the matter with Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell "several days ago", who confirmed the difficulty and asked for time to contact pensioners and tell them what had happened.
Dr Cable asked the Chancellor: "How many people are we talking about, how much money is involved, what are the steps that are going to be taken to retrieve the overpayments - which I understand in some cases is going back decades and are potentially enormous? I hope none of us can face the possibility of large numbers of ex-servicemen suddenly being faced with bailiffs turning up and asking them to repay overpayments."
Mr Darling responded that repayments were "not going to happen", but added: "It will be necessary to adjust what's paid for the future. It does need to be put right from next year."
Xafinity is believed to distribute 5% of public sector pensions, but it is not yet clear how much has been overpaid or what geographical areas are involved.Reuse content

The following was read on my behalf at a rally in Sydney calling on the Government of Ecuador to grant political Asylum to Julian Assange, Editor in Cheif of Wikileaks.
I would like to start once more by saying how honoured I am that the organisers sought to include my sentiments in today's events, and for the continuous support I have received from so many of those who also fight for Assange and Wikileaks.
For those of you unfamiliar with my case, I am an Australian journalist who was arrested in Mahalla, a textile town outside of Cairo, while trying to interview a union leader. My colleagues and I were held for a total of 56 hours by the police, the state security services and military intelligence, as well as a few hours in the care of the general prosecutor's office, where we were charged with inciting vandalism. Specifically it is alleged we promised to give money to children if they threw rocks at a police station. The charges carry a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. Four months has passed without a decision about whether to set a trial date or let us go. While embassy staff have done all they can without leadership from Canberra, the Australian government is yet to speak out or act on my behalf.
It is my belief that one reason for their reluctance, is that by acting on my behalf, they would be setting their failure to act on Assange in too sharp a contrast. It is a reminder, one that should be heeded by the Australian press in particular, that giving up on the freedom of one, not only morally, but also practically, compromises the freedom of all.
Our arrest was part of an ongoing attempt by the corrupt and oppressive regime, which has survived the ousting of its leader, to paint all those who protest, strike, or dissent, as agents of an enemy force.
The great hypocrisy is of course, that it those who kill and imprison protesters, are themselves backed by a nefarious foreign power: The United States funds the oppressive Egyptian Military to the tune of 1.3 Billion dollars a year.
As I write this a coup is taking place in Egypt. Martial Law has been declared. Parliament has been dissolved. Truckloads of troops and police, and armoured vehicles are deployed around the country. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces, a group of generals who appointed themselves the countries leaders following the fall of Mubarak, are dropping the pretence that they intend to give up power.
The People and government of Ecuador, know better than I what horrors this may bode for Egypt. No one needs to tell them what terrible crimes the American empire is willing to commit.
It is these crimes, this empire in all its violent dirty detail, that Assange has exposed so extensively. In doing so he has shown great courage, and those he has embarrassed wish him a terrible retribution.
I urge the government of Ecuador to honour his courage, to protect his rights, and to take the side of truth against the side of power. To all of you gathered here today, congratulations, you have already chosen the right side. Keep up the struggle
Yours in solidarity
Austin G Mackell

Europe roar back to lead on gripping opening day
By Mitch Phillips
GLENEAGLES Scotland (Reuters) - The Ryder Cup delivered high drama yet again as Europe produced a stirring fightback to win three of the foursomes matches against the United States and take a 5-3 lead after a tense and hugely entertaining first day on Friday.
The Americans had much the best of the morning fourballs, the highlight being a remarkable performance by rookie duo Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth to hammer European talisman Ian Poulter and Scottish new boy Stephen Gallacher 5 & 4.
That helped the visitors to a 2 1/2-1 1/2 lead after a session in which gusting winds made low scoring difficult but merely added to the drama for the fans who swamped the Gleneagles course.
But Europe roared back in the alternate-shot foursomes format as Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson secured their second point with a two-up victory over Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson having earlier hammered Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson 5 & 4.
Europe's strongest pair on paper, world numbers one and three Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia, struggled all day and were well beaten by Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley in the fourballs.
They looked to be going down again when they trailed Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler by two with two to play in the afternoon but a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th by McIlroy and a brilliant second from deep rough by Garcia on the last enabled them to scramble an unlikely points.
"I think that half was as a good as a win," said European captain Paul McGinley after seeing Europe post their best-ever foursomes result.
"We have seen in Ryder Cups over the years how important momentum is and we showed real strength of character to respond to that American surge and get blue back on the board." Continued...

Well. We all know what to do know if we need medical care and place to stay. Medical treatment plus 3 hots and a cot for the foreseeable future all for just 5 counts of attempted murder!
This is a discussion on Portland, OR Police Officer Nearly Killed by Suicidal Man Armed with Deer Rifle within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; A 61 yr old man by the name of Ralph C. Turner, who is in poor health, became suicidal after his girlfriend told him that ...
A 61 yr old man by the name of Ralph C. Turner, who is in poor health, became suicidal after his girlfriend told him that she was kicking him out of her house. Turner said that had no other friends or relatives to turn to, and feared becoming homeless, with no where to go. Turner had just recently recovered from extensive open heart surgery. He also suffers from serious liver problems, brought on by years of alcoholism.
The girlfriend called Portland, OR police when she learned that he had become suicidal.
Three officers came to the front door of the home to do a welfare check on Turner. However, Turner then opened fire on them, shooting multiple bullets through the door at the officers. One officer suffered minor superficial injuries caused by wood flying out of the door.
The Officers then retreated, and the block surrounding the home was cordoned off, with many more officers arriving on the scene. One of these officers, Officer Parik Singh, 37, a 14-year departmen veteran, was about to take up a position roughly 80 yards from the home in a park across the street, when he was shot by Turner.
Turner had swtiched from using a handgun, to instead using a scope deer rifle in .243 Winchester caliber. A bullet from Turner's rifle hit Singh low in his abdomen, below his protective vest. Singh underwent emergency surgery, and is said to still be in serious condition. However, he fortunately is expected to make a full recovery.
Police negotiators then contacted Turner over the phone, and convinced him to surrender.
Besides alcoholism, Turner's body has also been ravaged by many years of addiction to heroin. He married and divorced 4 times, and spent the last 20 years living with his mother, until her death a year ago.
Police have charged Turner with a total of 5 counts of attempted murder of a police officer.
Most ironically, Turner will now have a place to stay and food to eat, and tax payers will also now be fully responsible for all of his expensive medical care. He is facing a very long prison sentence, and the law requires that the state take care of any medical problems that he is suffering from.
When interviewed by the press, the gunman's brother Mark Turner praised the Portland Police Department profusely for their handling of the incident, especially for them not killing his brother.
To be honest, though, I don't know if this outcome is really much better.
Here is a photo taken of Turner sitting in a wheel chair during his arraignment for attempted murder:

Lots of very difficult societal issues are highlighted here in this case. Unfortunately, I don't see any easy solutions to them.
Well. We all know what to do know if we need medical care and place to stay. Medical treatment plus 3 hots and a cot for the foreseeable future all for just 5 counts of attempted murder!
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
You are not paranoid if They are actually out to get you, however, They probably are not and you probably are.
Three years ago I was arrested for DUI and spent the mandatory 24 hours in a regional jail. That experience in jail stopped me from drinking. I will never do anything that could get me back there. I don't think anyone would choose that option for free room and board and your neighbors are not the best. That 24 hours gave me the lesson of a lifetime.

In addition to the injured officer, imagine all those police resources that had to be pulled from elsewhere to come to the "aid" of this selfish individual.
What has drinking all of that alcohol and injecting all of that heroin over all of those decades done to his brain, however? The man looks way older than 61. He may be as big a mess mentally as he is physically.
It is too bad that no friends or family took these guns away from him.
Ironically, he blames his sister for the whole matter, for telling his girlfriend that he was talking about suicide, who then alerted the police.
I once read about a guy who had nowhere to live. He walked into a bank, gave the teller a robbery note, then walked to the guard and surrendered. He got arrested and sent to jail - exactly where he wanted to be.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

Somsak Kiatsuranont (Thai: สมศักดิ์ เกียรติสุรนนท์; born 27 June 1954 in Khon Kaen) is a Thai politician (Pheu Thai Party). He has been serving as the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Thailand who is ex officio also the President of the National Assembly of Thailand, since 3 August 2011.
Somsak Kiatsuranont studied engineering. He holds a bachelor's degree from the Khon Kaen University, and a master's degree from the Chulalongkorn University.
Somsak is a Member of Parliament, representing Khon Kaen. In 1997, at the time a member of the New Aspiration Party, he was Vice Speaker of the House of Representatives. During this time, he acquired the nickname "The Hammer Man" ("ขุนค้อน") for his impartiality in presiding over the House's meetings and intensive use of the presidium's gavel.[1] Later, he was a member of the Thai Rak Thai Party of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, which was banned after the 2006 coup d'etat, and transferred into the People's Power Party (PPP). In the PPP-led government of Samak Sundaravej, Somsak was Minister of Culture from August to September 2008, and Minister of Justice in Somchai Wongsawat's cabinet from September to December 2008. Then, the PPP suffered the same fate as the Thai Rak Thai, and was dissolved by the Constitutional Court, but was revived as the Pheu Thai Party, of which Somsak Kiatsuranont has been the vice chairman since September 2010.
After the Pheu Thai Party won the 2011 general election, Somsak Kiatsuranont was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, on 2 August 2011. Somsak who exercised restraint during the 2010 Thai political protests, is considered to be also acceptable for the parliamentary opposition. The Democrat Party did not field an opposing candidate. He was formally approved by the king on 3 August.[2]
Somsak was decorated with the highest class (Knight Grand Cordon) of both the Order of the White Elephant, and the Order of the Crown of Thailand.

With a Schiller-confirmed June product cycle, it's a bit early for iPhone Next-Gen case leaks, innit? Not that time or likelihood will stop the internet. MacRumors says:
This new iPhone case is said to "shed its glossy appearance for a matte black look" and also introduce a new case-back made of metal. [iPodObserver] seems confident in the photo and reminded readers that they were also responsible for publishing an early back-case photo of the iPhone 3G.
This new iPhone case is said to "shed its glossy appearance for a matte black look" and also introduce a new case-back made of metal. [iPodObserver] seems confident in the photo and reminded readers that they were also responsible for publishing an early back-case photo of the iPhone 3G.
Has Apple ever done matt finish anything? And would Apple really milk the 16GB capacity in a next-gen iPhone? Or would they do 16GB and 32GB next time, the way they did 8 and 16, and 4 and 8 for the previous generations? And will this simply be another iPhone 3G, or will include any (or all) of the guts we've been clamoring for in an iPhone HD?
First questions first, though, is this for real?
Internal comparison photos after the break!

The Case-Mate The Hipster for iPhone 3G is available and can be purchased in the iMore Store for $34.95. If you are looking for a leather hip-case for your iPhone, this might just be it! Let's see how it measures up after the break!
Looking for a new case for your iPhone? Do you like leather cases? Than look no further than the Belkin Eco-Conscious Formed Leather Case for iPhone 3G! This case is available for $29.95 from the Phone Different Store. This case is not only stylish, but allows easy accessibility to your iPhone 3G!
Everybody has his or her own definition for the perfect iPhone 3G Case. Some may want a hard plastic case, others prefer rubbery silicone cases but most prefer a case that is non intrusive and more importantly, offers protection while adding minimal bulk. The Incipio dermaSHOT Silicone Case for iPhone 3G ($14.95) is a rubber silicone case that tries to offer a layer of protection without adding much thickness. How does it perform?
Read on for the rest of the review!
Today we are looking at the Golla Cube Music Black Pouch for the iPhone 3G, iPhone and iPod Touch. I currently use a hip holster for my iPhone 3G, but I have been looking to branch out to something a little more "hip". The Golla case fits that bill perfectly! Want something that looks good? Has a few extra pockets to store cash and cards? Look no further than a Golla pouch!
Read on for the full review!
What we have here is a solar-powered iPhone case/charger, from Brando.com.hk, an Asian technology importer. And if you think about it, it's really not too shabby an idea.
The cost of this clever case is $48 and it is made of black leather, includes a 3.7-volt rechargeable battery, and a built-in photocell. Two versions are available, a flip-top and a side holster.
Many iPhone cases on the market offer fairly simple protection that serve more for an iPhone owner's peace of mind than offering extreme protection. The OtterBox Defender Series for iPhone ($49.95), however, is one of the few cases that carefully map and design their product to ensure superb protection.
How does the Otterbox perform? Is it as secure and successful as the case suggests? Or is it just another case in the iPhone pipeline? Could it all be just a gimmick?
Read on for the rest of the review!
Was Kevin Rose right? Is the Analyst-busting 8-Ball now batting 500? Could there be any more speculation about something that's close-to, but not quite an iPhone?? Engadget Spanish (via MacRumors) has seen the usual pre-Special Event hype, and raised the first "in the wild" case leaks:
Unlike the original iPhone which withstood the rigorous tests of sweaty palms, fingerpints, keys, and just daily life with relative ease, the iPhone 3G has some quality and durability concerns that the original iPhone never had. Insert the need for a case. The Griffin Nu Form Case for iPhone 3G ($24.95) is a stylish solution that hopes to offer better grip and protection from the elements while still looking good. How does it perform?
Need a place to keep your hands free when you hit the gym? Looking for the ideal workout case for your iPhone? The Marware Sportsuit Convertible case for iPhone 3G ($34.95) and original iPhone ($34.95) is a workout case that keeps your iPhone always within reach and your hands free to lift weights, use the yoga ball, run faster etc. It also doubles as a slim-profile sleeve case. And even triples for a clip-on case that is attachable via belt clip. How does it all perform? Does it hold up over time?

Arsenal: Manninger, Dixon, Vivas, Adams, Grimandi, Petit, Vieira, Garde, Overmars, Anelka, Bergkamp.
Chelsea: De Goey, Ferrer, Lambourde, Babayaro, Leboeuf, Petrescu, Wise, Goldbaek, Forssell, Flo, Zola.
Only three players - Lee Dixon, Tony Adams and Dennis Wise, all well past the first flush of youth - are English. Will the first Cup final in the new millennium be totally bereft of players eligible to represent the home country? If it is, will it matter?
The Cup final has long been graced with the special artistry that foreign players can provide. In 1952 Winston Churchill, the guest of honour attending his first FA Cup final, presented a medal to the winning goal scorer, George Robledo of Newcastle United. The Chilean inside-forward's 84th- minute strike had put paid to 10-man Arsenal's brave resistance in those pre-substitute days after the Welsh international full-back, Wally Barnes, damaged his knee early in the game.
The following year Blackpool's South African left winger, Bill Perry, was another winning goalscorer. Perry, later to qualify for England, swept home Stan Matthews' cross to beat Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in a match known ever since as the Matthews Final.
In 1956 Bert Trautmann, Manchester City's German goalkeeper, bravely finished the 3-1 victory over Birmingham City despite suffering a badly damaged neck 20 minutes before the end.
And, of course, in modern times Manchester United's French talisman, Eric Cantona, drilled in the only goal against Liverpool in 1996 following his suspension for assaulting a yob who had hurled a racist epithet at him at Selhurst Park.
We can do little to legislate against the foreign invasion. The Bosman judgment in 1995 ruled that any discrimination against European Union nationals was illegal.
Previously teams could include only three foreign players. Now the FA Premier League rules merely stipulate that, other than players who have been resident in the United Kingdom for five years, clubs can field a maximum of three non-EU players. These players have to meet strict criteria before a work permit can be obtained from the Department of Employment. They need to have appeared in 75 per cent of their country's full international matches over the previous two years.
The Bosman case was expected to dampen down the transfer market. It did, but only at a certain level. Second and Third Division clubs began to experience serious difficulty in selling players to the Premier League. The trade from Scotland to England all but dried up. Bank managers of smaller clubs became increasingly uneasy as the books became harder to balance. However, premium prices still prevailed at the higher end of the domestic market and clubs were compelled to shop abroad.
Moreover, the money on offer in the Premier League made it increasingly easy to attract overseas stars. By and large, Germans, Italians and Spaniards earn top money in the leagues of these three countries, but few other nations can compete with the salaries that the cash-rich Premiership can pay. Even France, the World Cup winners, lose most of their players to other leagues.
So in the absence of any real shift in the economics which affect football across Europe, not even King Canute would attempt to push back the tide of foreign transfers.
Not that I would want any further restrictions. The Carling Premiership is the envy of the world, with the added colour and flair which the foreigners place alongside the traditional English passion and commitment, even though the quality of defensive play is not always of the highest calibre.
Ask any of Manchester United's brilliant young Englishmen - Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, David Beckham or Paul Scholes - what Cantona's presence meant. They will testify to his touch, his vision and, above all, his willingness to practise his skills all day long. He helped them enormously.
Speak to any Arsenal player (except possibly Marc Overmars!) and they will tell you how the emergence of Nicolas Anelka has provided a vital outlet not only for them but also for the stunning French team, which seems to have improved since victory over Brazil last July.
Finally, question any Spurs supporter who struggled to beat the traffic in north London after last Wednesday's David Ginola-inspired FA Cup replay victory over Leeds United sent the Seven Sisters Road into a horn-tooting frenzy of Parisian proportions.
The foreign players are a clear asset to the game. They attract crowds and inspire home-grown players to emulate them. The clubs are not going to be deterred by critics bemoaning the scarcity of English players or the damage that may be caused to the England team if domestic talent is unable to break through. The fans, staunchly supportive of their own teams before they think about England, are not going to desert the turnstiles.
So it is the Football Association which must act: not to stem the foreign tide but to improve the quality of our own players. The Premier League already licenses its clubs to have player development academies with high standards of training and care. It already subsidises Football League clubs to the tune of pounds 137,000 per club for centres of excellence.
The FA's technical director, Howard Wilkinson, must persuade the Premier League that long-term investment in academies which produce English players of the highest skill and flair is compulsory, not optional. He must ensure that young talent is identified and nurtured whichever part of the country it emanates from, not just near a Premier League club. And Wilkinson must press ahead with his visionary plans to build a true centre of football excellence like that at Clairefontaine which has served the French so effectively.
If this happens we will have our own Ginolas competing with the overseas stars for Premier League places; the England team will be renowned for its technique in years to come; and Her Majesty the Queen will find herself torn between loyalty to her family antecedents and her own subjects when she attends the World Cup final at the new Wembley between England and Germany in 2006!

The SSG 140 is a high-performance security platform for branch offices and small/medium sized standalone businesses that want to stop internal and external attacks, prevent unauthorized access, and achieve regulatory compliance. The SSG 140 is a modular platform that delivers more than 350 Mbps of stateful firewall traffic and100 Mbps of IPSec VPN traffic.SecurityProtection against worms, viruses, Trojans, spam, and emerging malware is delivered by proven Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features that are backed by best-in-class partners. To address internal security requirements and facilitate regulatory compliance, the SSG 140 supports an advanced set of network protection features such as security zones, virtual routers and VLANs that allow administrators to divide the network into distinct, secure domains, each with its own unique security policy. Policies protecting each security zone can include access control rules and inspection by any of the supported UTM security features.Connectivity and RoutingThe SSG 140 supports ten on-board interfaces (8 10/100 plus 2 10/100/1000) complemented by four I/O expansion slots that can house additional WAN interfaces (T1, E1, ISDN BRI S/T and Serial), making the SSG 140 the most extensible security platform in its class. This broad array of I/O options coupled with WAN protocol and encapsulation support in its routing engine make the SSG 140 a platform that can easily be deployed as a traditional branch office router or as a consolidated security and routing device to reduce CAPEX and OPEX.Access Control EnforcementThe SSG 140 can act as an enforcement point in a Juniper Networks Unified Access Control deployment with the simple addition of the Infranet Controller. The Infranet Controller functions as a central policy management engine, interacting with the SSG 140 to augment or replace the firewall-based access control with a solution that grants/denies access based on more granular criteria that include endpoint state and user identity, in order to accommodate the dramatic shifts in attack landscape and user characteristics.World Class SupportFrom simple lab testing to major network implementations, Juniper Networks Professional Services will collaborate with your team to identify goals, define the deployment process, create or validate the network design, and manage the deployment to its successful conclusion.

Earl W. Stevick, a longtime teacher at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, who developed programs for teaching English as a second language, died Aug. 13 at an assisted living facility in Lexington, Va. He was 89.
He had Parkinson's disease, said his daughter Marian Walton.
Dr. Stevick taught at the Foreign Service Institute from the early 1960s until his retirement in 1984. He spoke 14 languages and once served as head of the institute's African language program.
He published more than a dozen books on the theory and practice of language teaching, including "Teaching Languages: A Way and Ways" (1980) and "Memory, Meaning & Method: A View of Language Teaching" (1996).
Dr. Stevick developed linguistic courses for the Peace Corps, taught at the University of Maryland and helped create a master's degree teaching program at what is now the SIT Graduate Institute in Washington.
Earl Wilson Stevick was born in Sioux City, Iowa, and grew up in Joplin, Mo. He was a 1946 graduate of Harvard University. He received a master's degree in teaching English as a foreign language from Columbia University's Teachers College in 1950 and a doctorate in linguistics from Cornell University in 1955.
Dr. Stevick taught at the old Scarritt College for Christian Workers, a school for missionaries, in Nashville in the 1950s. He received a Ford Foundation fellowship to develop language programs for missionaries in Africa before he joined the State Department.
In 1981, he received the Kenneth W. Mildenberger Prize from the Modern Language Association for his book "Teaching Languages." A book recognizing his scholarly contributions, "Meaningful Action: Earl Stevick's Influence on Language Teaching," was released by Cambridge University Press in May.
Dr. Stevick lived in Arlington before moving to Lexington in the 1990s.
His wife of 55 years, Betty Rae Culp Stevick, died in 2003. Survivors include three children; Becky Clarke of Lexington, Joel Stevick of Rockville and Marian Walton of Iowa City, Iowa; a brother; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
