Video for Everybody is very simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5
<video> element which offers native playback in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 3 & 4.
This is native OGG video playback in Firefox 3.5 (you get H.264 playback in Safari). No plugins to install. The video is played by the browser itself. It loads quickly and doesn't threaten to crash your browser.
In other browsers that do not support
<video>, it falls back to Adobe Flash:
You can host locally or embed any Flash file, such as a YouTube video.
If Flash is not installed, QuickTime is used which allows playback on the iPhone.
If QuickTime is not installed then Windows Media Player is used in Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7. This means that it is actually almost impossible for the video to not play in IE8 on Windows 7. Even without Flash and QuickTime, you'd have to disable Windows Media Player or all ActiveX entirely!
Finally, if all else fails, a warning is issued that provides links to download the video, and links to software relevant to getting the video to play within the browser itself. Since this is just HTML, you can put anything here you want.

46 Years Ago: The Beatles Hire Allen Klein As Their Manager
With their self-run company Apple Corps bleeding money, the Beatles looked for someone with experience in such matters. On Feb. 3, 1969, they officially hired Allen B. Klein to be their manager.
Following the August 1967 death of Brian Epstein, the Beatles' finances were controlled by Epstein's brother Clive. But according to the Beatles, Clive Epstein was more interested in running the family's furniture stores, so the group looked outside of its inner circle for a replacement.
Klein got his start working for Sam Cooke and Bobby Darin, with whom he gained a reputation for being ruthless on behalf of artists whose royalties were being hidden through accounting tricks. This endeared him to the Rolling Stones, who made him their manager in 1965. Shortly afterward, he negotiated a new deal with Decca Records that gave the group a significantly better percentage of its sales.
John Lennon met Klein while filming 'The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus' in December 1968 and began lobbying for his services. "We were impressed by the way he handled the business deals for the Rolling Stones," Lennon said in 'Anthology.' "Besides, he has some of the cleanest polo-necked sweaters I've ever seen. He's the only businessman I've met who isn't grey right through the eyes to the soul."
"My impression of him when I first met him was brash," Ringo Starr added. "'I'll get it done, lads.' Lots of enthusiasm. A good guy, with a pleasant attitude about himself in a really gross New York way."
But Paul McCartney was lobbying for his soon-to-be father-in-law to look after their affairs. "I put forward Lee Eastman as a possible lawyer, but they said, 'No, he'd be too biased for you and against us,'" McCartney later recalled. "I could see that … They were right — it was just as well he didn't do it, because it really would have got crazy with him in there."
George Harrison had an opinion similar to Starr's: "Because we were all from Liverpool, we favored people who were street people. Lee Eastman was more like a class-conscious type of person. As John was going with Klein, it was much easier if we went with him too." But he also noted that "years later, we formed a different opinion."
McCartney was still hesitant and went to Klein's biggest client for advice. "Actually, I asked Mick Jagger when he came round," McCartney said. "'What do you think?' He said, 'Oh, he's all right if you like that kind of thing.' He didn't really warn us off him, so there it was — and that then was the three-to-one situation. In the Beatles, if anyone didn't agree with a plan, it was always vetoed. It was very democratic that way, so the three-to-one situation was very awkward, and as a result, 'things' would happen."
Klein immediately made an impact at Apple, cutting budgets, firing unproductive workers and installing a professional atmosphere at the company. He renegotiated the band's deal with EMI and brought in Phil Spector to sort through the messy 'Get Back' project, which eventually became 'Let It Be.'
But even though he came with Jagger's — albeit nonchalant — seal of approval, the Stones soon realized how much money Klein was funneling out of the group through unethical but legal practices. By 1970, they decided to set up their own company and get out from under Klein. A lengthy legal battle ensued, and the matter was resolved in the mid-'80s — after Klein had served two months in prison for tax fraud — with Klein retaining the rights to every Stones song recorded up to and including 'Let It Bleed.'
In the 1978 parody of the Beatles' career, 'The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash,' John Belushi played Ron Decline, a thinly veiled version of Klein, who died in 2009.

To the Editor:
Surveys show that over 90 percent of the people, including most gun owners, support some kind of background check on the purchase of firearms. Many members of the Rhode Island legislature, however, will ignore the wishes of the people, including many police and law enforcement officials, and vote against this very small step toward curbing gun violence.
But we can be assured, should tragedy befall one of these law enforcement officials, those very same legislators will be among the loudest mourners wailing about the debt of gratitude we owe to those who form the "thin blue line."
They expect these men and women to put their lives on the line for them, but actually doing something in return to make their jobs a bit safer is apparently asking too much.
It's all about promoting themselves, taking NRA "donations" (bribes) and counting on us to forget their sell out during the next election.
Shame on them for acting this way, but an even greater shame on us if we do forget and allow them to get away with this.
Charles Lawrence
More liberal BS! Where are the 90%? I have yet to meet someone who actually understands the issue and agrees with this. That must be the number you heard from Obama, and we all know how honest his administration is, NOT!!! Criminals DO NOT submit to background checks. Those that do, lying on their application, are committing a crime by trying to illegally obtain a firearm. These criminals are not being arrested and prosecuted like they should. We need to start strictly enforcing current laws if you really want to see a difference. How would you like to take a life long friend shooting, only to be charged with a felony after handing him a firearm at a supervised range, only because he didn't have a background check first? Nonsense, but that's what this legislation would do. How about YOUR Vice President telling women who are attacked at home to fire 2 shots from a double barreled shotgun out the door? That's illegal and stupid advice from Washington. Not to mention that you would now be holding an empty weapon. The NRA is only as strong as it's membership, which is 5 million now. They're your neighbors, police officers, firemen, school teachers, doctors, etc., all walks of life. The NRA has done more for firearms safety and education, promoting responsible and lawful gun ownership than any liberal dictator who thinks they know what's best for everyone else. When you talk of "donations" (bribes), don't forget to mention NYC Mayor Bloomberg using his billions to bribe and threaten Senators.

The world's largest solar plant is officially online in the Mojave desert — and it is causing some dismay.
That's because the technology the $2.2 billion Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station uses could be a threat to wildlife — it generates heat so intense there's growing evidence it is scorching birds, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Unlike rooftop solar panels that are becoming increasingly common and are peddled by companies including SolarCity Corp. /quotes/zigman/13139813/delayed /quotes/nls/scty SCTY and SunEdison Corp. /quotes/zigman/17430636/delayed /quotes/nls/sune SUNE , we are talking about a concentrating solar power plant.
The technology of the CSPs involves focusing sunlight onto boilers. The steam generated turns a turbine, which generates electricity. Using the sun is the innovation here.
So the plant uses thousands of special mirrors, each the size of a garage door, to focus sunlight onto boilers on top of three towers, according to project owners NRG Energy Inc. Google Inc., and BrightSource Energy Inc., the plant can power about 140,000 homes a year, according to the Journal.
The intense heat the mirrors generate appear to be scorching birds that fly over the area. Temperatures can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Oakland-based BrightSource Energy has reported finding dozens of dead birds over the past several months as workers were testing the plant, the newspaper said. Some appeared to have singed or burned feathers, it said, citing federal biologists and documents filed with California's energy commission.
The companies told the newspaper it may be too early to draw definitive conclusions. And some bird deaths were expected, according to regulators. Moreover, BrightSource said it may be able to solve the problem of bird deaths.
Department of Energy secretary Ernest Moniz dedicated the plant Thursday. In the excerpts of his prepared remarks made available ahead of the dedication, he does not mention birds or wildlife deaths.

Guilford, VT was one of several New England towns that boasted mineral springs. The Guilford Mineral Spring Water company bottled the liquid in Saratoga bottles and sold it regionally, boasting of its healing powers. It was advertised as a cure for cancer, scrofula, piles, and secondary syphilis. This bottle was part of a large collection amassed by Frederick R. Bridges.
Saratoga style bottles are a quart size bottle used to sell mineral water from the springs primarily around Saratoga, NY but also from other places. Amber and dark green are the most common colors, but there are many color variants. They were made by blowing glass into full-size molds.

Interesting Op Ed by Philip Esler on Bible and Interpretation. Here is a snippet:
"Identity Matters" is the title of a recent book by a group of social scientists on ethnic and sectarian conflict.1 And so it does. If a person is explaining who he or she is or a group who they are, they are answering one of the most fundamental questions of all. It is also invariably true that people or groups answering the question "Who are you?" have a much richer understanding of themselves than outsiders will. Indeed, one of the major problems in human and social relations is the practice of stereotyping the other, of reducing the enormous complexity and richness of what it means to be the people they are to a handful of characteristics alleged to typify them.
Accordingly, when we explore issues of personal and group identity we are obliged to take the question very seriously and to be sensitive to the self-understandings of the people and groups we are investigating. If those in focus come from a different culture, we are also into the distinction between emic and the etic, between insider, indigenous viewpoints and outsider, often social science informed viewpoints. When the people in question are in the past, we encounter the additional complication of how the subsequent course of history of their descendants, physical and spiritual, affects, or should be allowed to affect, our interpretation.
Go there to read the rest.

Open Letter To Our Pets
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food.
Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the object.
Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort.
Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt.
I cannot stress this enough!

Thanks for the good laugh

It is not unusual for people to want to explore different types of sexual stimulation. Over the past couple of years sounding, or urethral sounding, has become a very common practice among many. Sounding is the act of inserting an object, usually a long and smooth object, into the urethra for sexual pleasure. While this practice is mostly done by men, some women also enjoy the pleasures of the stimulation.
Sounding is sometimes referred to as "cock-stuffing" or "urethral masturbation". Sounds are surgical steel smooth rods that are used in medical settings to stretch the urethra, but are also used for sexual pleasure outside of the medical setting. These rods come in many different sizes and styles. Some people like to use household objects when first starting out because they are scared or embarrassed to purchase the correct items, with this sexual practice but it is HIGHLY NOT recommended. And with the Internet now there is no reason to fear purchasing the safe and correct items to use. Sounds are the best, safest objects to use for sounding obviously. There are many different sounding kits available, and also just individual pieces if you already know your size. These kits are great for someone newly interested in sounding because they often start at a small size and gradually get larger. Experienced people in urethra play find that the ribbed sounds work great for them.
The urethra is very soft tissue that can be easily damaged while taking part in the pleasures of sounding if one is not careful. Some irritation is expected when first starting. Another concern with urethral sounding is infection. A urinary tract infection can happen if your hands and the sound are not properly cleaned, and can become sever if not treated. Using antibacterial or antimicrobial soap is the best way to clean your hands before this act is done. Because the sounds are made of surgical steel they can be boiled in hot water and sanitized better than most any other objects, just be sure that you do not burn them on the bottom of a pot or something like that, use a double boiler or a pedestal in the bottom of the pot. Each and every time the sound is used it needs to be cleaned and sanitized.
Inserting a sound rod into the urethra needs to be lubricated in order to prevent tearing of the urethra. Water based lubrication like Surgilube is the best type of lube to use when inserting the sound. While holding the penis upright the rod can be inserted. The sound should not be forced into the urethra but merely guided, especially if you are new to this practice; gravity does most of the work. Starting with a small sound will help you learn your limits. Some people like to see how far they can insert the sound, while others like to see how big they can make their urethra.
Urethral play is pleasurable for some for a couple of different reasons. When the sound is inserted into the penis it meant to stimulate the glands and tissues in the inner walls of the penis associated with sexual pleasures. Some like the bladder to be included in this sexual act. Sounding is considered a fetishistic activity. This is a power type of fetish. A lot of individuals that are into BDSM find sounding to be very pleasurable. If you are going to be involving a partner in urethral play, make sure you are fully comfortable and trust them.
Don't forget to check out the "Adult Adventure" section here at The Chain Gang to find the perfect sound or sounding kit and Surgilube for you!

It's the end of an era tonight in Philadelphia. No, the Eagles aren't being awarded a Super Bowl title to end their long run of futility. Rather, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker will all meet and discuss where they may retire together. Let's hope it's actually something a little more interesting than that as Raw invades the City of Brotherly Love, live on USA.
CM Punk tells everyone right off the bat that Chris Jericho is not here tonight, something he calls a gift. Last week, Jericho told the world that Punk's father was an alcoholic, which is none of his business, and certainly not something he should have been telling the entire world. Punk believes Jericho was talking about it just to get a mental edge heading into WrestleMania, but the WWE Champion says it's going to backfire. He goes on to say that Jericho didn't finish the story, because Punk's dad worked hard to overcome his addictions, the same way Punk will make sure he overcomes the obstacle that is Jericho. Speaking of Chris, he appears live via satellite to... apologize? Jericho seems to break character while apologizing. He won't talk about Punk's dad on the show ever again, but Punk's sister, well, that's a different story! Jericho smirks as he calls CM's sister a drug addict and tells the champ it's his destiny to drink someday. But while substance abuse problems can be overcome, a loss at WrestleMania can't be overcome. Punk says something that the censors don't like (#dontfineusfcc) and angrily storms up the ramp.
Match 1 – Kane vs. Big Show
Cody Rhodes joins the announcers, but not before the video package running down all of Show's embarrassing WrestleMania moments is shown. Rhodes makes his presence felt early, causing a distraction that leaves Show helpless for a choke slam off the ropes. Kane gets a quick win, and Rhodes handcuffs Show to the ropes so he can go to work on him with a pair of boxing gloves. Perhaps not the smartest tactical move on Cody's part, but you want more heat for their WrestleMania match? Done.
Match 2 – David Otunga (w/ John Laurinaitis) vs. Santino Marella (w/ Teddy Long)
Consider this a preview of sorts of the battle between the two general managers' teams at WrestleMania that will decide who controls both Raw and SmackDown. Santino can't keep up with Otunga during the pre-match posing contest, so he takes out some frustration on Laurinaitis' beloved smartphone. Otunga takes advantage to win the match, but Long has enough of Johnny Ace's post-bell gloating. Teddy smacks his opposite number in the face and retreats to the safety of the ramp.
Cool tattoos bro. Lord Tensai is coming, and he is inked up if nothing else.
The Rock has more prerecorded goodness for us. He calls Philly "the city of ass-kickers" and shows a picture of himself at 12 years old posing in front of the Rocky statue. The Great One talks about headlining WrestleMania for the first time in Philadelphia, when he got pinned by Stone Cold Steve Austin. Of course, The Rock went on to defeat Austin and Hulk Hogan, but he still needs to beat John Cena to seal up his status as the greatest of all time. He vows to drive down Broad Street to the Wells Fargo Center to send Cena a message, and if that doesn't work, he'll take a Pat's cheesesteak and shove it somewhere to make his point even more clear. The Rock continues to run through all of his catchphrases and those of a bunch of other WWE Superstars.
Oh yeah, Hunger Games baby! Uh, I mean, how about that new Avengers Japanese trailer? Yeah, of course that's what I meant.
Match 3 – Daniel Bryan (w/ A.J.) vs. Zack Ryder
Zack apparently held a rally in the Wells Fargo Center parking lot to gain support to be part of Team Teddy in Miami. Bryan gets a good luck kiss and the match gets underway. Ryder has his moments early on, but he finds himself in the LeBell Lock and quickly taps out.
Flo Rida is going to perform at WrestleMania. File that in the "Least Surprising News Ever" folder. Hint: Look at his name carefully...
Match 4 – John Cena vs. Mark Henry
Henry is able to overpower Cena in the opening minutes of the match, much to the delight of some fans and the dismay of others. You know, business as usual for Cena. The World's Strongest Man throws Cena into the retaining wall before we break for some advertisements. Naturally, Cena rallies to hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle and even gets the big man up for an Attitude Adjustment. Sounds like more cheers than boos as he pins Henry, but The Rock is out quickly to rain on his parade. Poor Henry gets a Rock Bottom, which one supposes is the message The Rock promised to send. Cena points at the WrestleMania sign and signals that there are only two weeks until they will face off.
Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix got into it on the set of Extra, leading to a WrestleMania match that will also include Maria Menounos. But wait, is she going to be eliminated from Dancing With the Stars by then? Meanwhile, The Miz whines about still not having a match in Miami. He does have a match in Philly though...
Match 5 – The Miz vs. Sheamus
Miz is able to ground Sheamus for a spell, but that ends with him eating some boot leather in the corner and getting slammed hard to the mat. Sheamus misses his first Brogue Kick but not a second, and Miz loses yet another match. Hey man, there's usually a dark match before the televised portion of WrestleMania kicks off. That's a good way to follow up being in one of the main events last year, right?
Randy Orton joins Josh Mathews for some rhetorical questions. How does Orton plan on beating the monster? Orton turns it around and asks how Kane plans on beating him. He doesn't have any spooky nicknames, but Orton doesn't need them to beat Kane again.
Match 6 – Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger vs. R-Truth and Kofi Kingston
Ziggler and Swagger are now officially part of Team Johnny, for what that's worth. Everyone gets a chance to show their stuff in this one, the longest match of the night. With Swagger and Kingston on the outside, Ziggler goes for the pin on Truth. He gets his leg on the ropes, but Vickie Guerrero knocks it off, and the ref counts to three. Aksana takes exception to that, and the two women end up fighting both in and out of the ring. The wrestlers have to intervene to pull the females off each other.
Michaels hits the ring to his familiar theme music and takes a moment or two to applaud the fans. HBK states the obvious when he talks about stealing the show at WrestleMania year after year, and he thinks it's pretty cool that even though he's retired, he holds the end of an era in the palm of his hand by refereeing the Undertaker-Triple H match. He brushes off the question about whether or not he can be an impartial official and starts to address the Undertaker. The lights go out and the bell tolls, meaning the Dead Man is on his way out. He's about to start in on Shawn when Triple H joins the party as well. Hunter tells the Phenom to stop worrying about HBK and focus on what they are about to go through. There have been 24 previous Hell in a Cell Matches in WWE history, and either HHH or 'Taker has been in 19 of them. Trips says that's not a coincidence, because the Cell is where he thrives. But all of that was to prepare him for this upcoming match on April 1, when the whole world will see the end of an era. The Undertaker's era, that is. But 'Taker isn't sure his foe truly understands everything he'll have to put on the line to end The Streak. Triple H claims he's prepared to risk everything, and he will. The Undertaker pauses to consider what he's just heard, then asks if Triple H remembers when he said Michaels was better than The Game. The Dead Man simply says "He is," then walks away as HBK smirks and Triple H stews. See you in seven for the last show before WrestleMania!
Nick Tylwalk is bummed that he won't be going to Miami in two weeks but takes heart in the fact that as long as the Mayans are wrong about December 21, next year's WrestleMania is within driving distance of his Pennsylvania home. Offer words of encouragement via Twitter, Google+ or email.

Earthstars start out as a round ball. When they are ripe the outer layers peel back and the inner chamber releases spores. After observing it for a couple of days, I realized that this was not an earthstar mushroom, but a false earthstar mushroom. I had not known false earthstars existed until I did a little online research trying to pin down exactly which earthstar it could be. I was a little crushed until I realized that false earthstars were even cooler then earthstars, and they became my new favorite mushroom.
What distinguishes the false earthstar from an earthstar? Well, mycologists separate them based on the thin chamber walls inside the area where the spores are developed, the nature of the split in the spore sac, the absence of sterile tissue at the base of the spore sac, and the size of the spores themselves.
Perhaps the easiest way to differentiate them (and what makes them so cool) is the hygroscopic properties of the outer 'sun-like' rays. This special property means that when moisture is present in the air, the rays absorb it and uncurl. This pushes the spore sac up in the air, so that spores are dispersed farther in the correct (moisture-rich) conditions. When the air is dry, the rays 'dry out' and curl up to protect the center of the spore sac. Few 'true' earthstars have this property. What a neat thing to find in my backyard!

nona is a drop-in replacement for PTStitcher and is part of Hugin. There is a nona_gui version that provides the same dialog boxes as the Windows/Mac versions of PTStitcher.
- Unlike PTStitcher, nona has full source-code availability, this means that it can be used on many more platforms such as OS X, Linux x86_64, linux powerpc, Solaris and IRIX.
- nona doesn't perform expensive transformation calculations for unused areas of output images. For panoramas consisting of many source photos this can speed things up greatly.
- nona implements vignetting correction at the stitching stage.
- Since PTStitcher development has stalled, nona is a likely base for future developments such as correction of Chromatic aberration.
- Nona supports HDR images
(Note: this is the situation as of January 2006, please correct this page if you know this has changed)
- Automatic color/brightness correction isn't supported, though using PTblender and enblend in the toolchain now solves this problem with superior results.
- Fisheye Projection output hasn't been implemented. You need to use the Panorama Tools Plugins to do the conversion.
- Morph to fit control points are not supported.
- It doesn't yet support the fast transformation option added to pano12 by Fulvio Senore.

Geoduck fishermen switch to urchins off Washington's coast
China banned West Coast shellfish after finding traces of toxins.
Zipped into a full-body dry suit, Joe Williams hardly feels the frigid winter waters around Washington's San Juan Islands. Diving for red sea urchins nestled among sharp crags is exciting, he says, like underwater rock climbing. But the Swinomish Indian would rather harvest geoducks, pronounced "gooey-ducks," giant clams with a bizarre trunk-like protrusion that weigh up to 15 pounds. A delicacy in China, they can fetch $16 a pound, compared to about $1 for a pound of urchins.
Williams switched to urchins because China stopped importing West Coast shellfish in December, after its inspectors found traces of arsenic and paralytic shellfish poisoning in Washington and Alaska geoducks. China imported $68 million in U.S. geoducks alone in 2012 – including 90 percent of Washington's harvest. Some hard-hit divers are tackling less profitable alternatives – sea urchins, sea cucumbers and crab. Other geoduck divers and farmers are selling to Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong and U.S. Chinatowns. At least one Puget Sound tribal company laid off most of its plant workers and divers.
U.S. officials did not detect toxic levels of contamination and are traveling to China in March, hoping to end the ban. Williams, however, couldn't wait: In February, he returned to work at an oil refinery.

Van Halen Photos from 1978 In-Store Appearance Unearthed
With all the hoopla surrounding Van Halen's first album with David Lee Roth in over 20 years, our friends over at the Van Halen News Desk have dipped into the vaults and dragged out 15 photos of the young, hell-raising band making a visit to a record store -- remember those?! -- while on their first world tour in 1978.
Plenty of young, hot chicks showed up for the in-store, which was held on a Friday, between 2:30 and 4 PM, as you can see posted on a flyer on the wall in one of the images. Check out the display featuring the album sleeves, too.
Even though the band was paying a visit to a retail establishment, in the middle of the day, that didn't stop the beverages from flowing. You can see the boys consuming Schlitz Malt Liquor while signing autographs, shaking hands and kissing babies. Make that babes.
The images certainly capture an era and remind us of "the olden days" when people actually shopped for music at dedicated record stores, thumbing through racks of vinyl to discover new bands. These shots hark back to a pure and organic time. Okay, enough of that wistful musing.
The shots also show Van Halen in their early glory. Don't you love DLR's upside-down glasses? And just look at those heads of hair. Hindsight is 20/20 but this candid, carefree shot hardly indicates all the success and drama that was to come for Van Halen. You can see more of these photos over at the Van Halen News Desk.

Student or Learner
I would be glad if someone could correct my text and give my a grade. I have my TOEFL test in 2 weeks, but I'm still not sure about my writing skills..
Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
I like variety in my life. Either by small things like taking now or then a different route to work, or by living in foreign countries for some time. Thereby I do strongly prefer the idea of moving a number of times throughout my life, rather than to stay in one place all the time.
First, moving around a number of times gets you quite a lot experience in various matters of life.
By getting to know new countries, each with a unique history and cultue, you broaden your mind. I think people who spend some time abroad are more tolerant, as they have more experience with people with different backgrounds. Another advantage is the language factor. It is always easier to learn a new language when living in the corresponding country, where you are confronted with new words all day long.
Second, working in different cities or countries or even continents enhances your job qualification.
According to researches experience in working abroad became increasingly important to companies and employers. Living and working in a foreign country shows that you are open minded and not afraid of new things or people. Foreign work experience also makes your curriculum vitae more interesting. I spent some time working in Finland and every time I apply for a job, people are courious why I have been to Finland and how I liked it. That is always a nice topic to talk about in an job interview.
To sum up, based on my arguments above, I am of the opinion that moving around for some time, or even for your whole life has a lot of positiv impacts on your life.
Thanks in advance!

Each season Bottega Veneta partners with a new photographer — Annie Leibovitz and Philip-Lorca de Corcia are a few notable names from the past. For the fall campaign, British photographer Nick Knight got the call from creative director Tomas Maier and the collaboration has produced a unique perspective on the collection. "Nick emphasizes the process of creating images, which is similar to the way I approach design," said Maier. "I have followed his work for years and have always admired his sense of adventure."
The images were shot in several parts, which began with models posing in front of a white background. The backdrop was created using colors from the collection, drawn from the night sky, with photography and digital manipulation that evokes the period from dusk to dawn. To complete the process the figures were arranged on a canvas to "achieve an intriguing composition that hints at a narrative." Similar to past seasons, a short video will be posted on Bottega Veneta's Web site, to highlight the collaboration between Maier, Knight and the models.
More recently, the brand has begun to shift its advertising focus to shelter titles and publications that reach a dual audience. The spokeswoman said the budget for advertising continues to grow annually but declined to provide more details. Images will run in Elle Decor, The New Yorker, The New York Times and WSJ., in addition to titles in France, the U.K., Germany, Singapore, Japan and Spain.

We've had a Best Buy advertisement sent in showing off the Lumia 920 on Rogers with an extra saving of $100 for the duration of Black Friday. Should you be looking to pick up a Lumia 920 on Rogers, you can now own one for free (when taken out with an eligible contract) after established savings have been applied to the purchase.
What's interesting with the Lumia 920 offered by Rogers is that reports have continuously been published by consumers who have managed to pick one up that the Windows Phone is unlocked and works with WIND and T-Mobile (though this is through Best Buy). The HTC 8X is also going on sale through the next couple of days on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
Unfortunately, according to the promotion material sent into us, this deal with Rogers is only available with the Lumia 920 in black, restricting choice but the deal includes a flagship Windows Phone for absolutely nothing. Rogers is looking set to stock the Lumia 920 in yellow too in the future.
Thanks, Barry, for the photo and tip!

John Cleese faces a costly divorce from his third wife which could see him hand over two homes, half his earnings and maintenance of almost £1 million a year.
Run away, run away!
The Monty Python star and Alyce Faye Eichelberger Cleese announced in January that they were separating amicably after 15 years of marriage.
Amicable divorce = wife says she still likes you as a friend and says she just wants you to both go your separate ways and make a clean break, and then - at the earliest opportunity - sends her beserker lawyer to stampede forth wearing a sharpened titanium-tipped strap-on dildo aimed at your bank account's bumhole.
Lawyers also asked for half his income going back to 1992, the year of their marriage, and annual maintenance.
Surely he's technically paid her half (probably more, given that women control most of the spending power in marriages) of his income since they were married? I guess he's got to pay twice over for the, ahem, honour of marrying this greedy bint. And annual maintenance too? Gee, there was me thinking women were strong and empowered and able to support themselves. I guess not.
The guy is two-years shy of seventy and he's facing having to support an ex-wife. Say goodbye to retirement plans.
Mrs Eichelberger Cleese, an American-born psychotherapist, is famous for her work in psychoanalysis with children and was a pupil of Anna Freud, the psychoanalyst and daughter of Sigmund Freud.
Wow, an educational and occupational history in psychology; the hardest and most well-respected of sciences! Snigger.
She is also the author of the book How to Manage your Mother.
And the soon to be published How To Fuck Over Your Husband.
John Cleese will probably be okay. He's rich. He'll be fucked over but, like Paul McCartney, he'll be okay. However, how many non-celebrity 68-year-old guys - just retired from an office/factory job - would be 'okay' if their wife wanted half his income backdated to their wedding day, plus maintenance? Not many. And this case doesn't even have to take into account Child Support.
The only fool-proof divorce self-defence tactic for men is to not get married in the first damn fucking place.
I just wish Paul McCartney, Ray Parlour, John Cleese and other big-time losers in the divorce courts would at least step forwards and write articles, appear on chatshows, or fucking something to highlight how badly they've been fucked over. Women celebs host press-conferences and write autobiographies on how they broke a nail or battled with bulimia or some other yawn-inspiring (except to women, who lap this gushing 'martyrdom' up) moaning.
These guys should at least throw caution to the wind and publicly denounce on prime-time television their bitch-whore greedy cunt ex-wives, rage against the divorce courts, declare modern marriage to be a scam that benefits greedy bloody women and - probably whilst, at this point, being hauled off by the police live on air - urge all men not to marry. Fuck being stoic, cause a scene!

GDT Oilers 5, Thrashers 3 – Game 59 – 2011-02-19 @ 1:30 PM MST – SNETW
This afternoon the Oilers host the Atlanta Thrashers at Rexall (1:30PM start.. it's an early one). The Oilers have been great in the two games since Steve Tambellini's pep rally in which he told the players to stop worrying about the draft and just try to win. As much as I want us to get the number 1 pick, it's great to see that they can turn on the "give a damn" setting at any moment. I expect another solid game today. Sounds like Dubnyk will get the start, from what I hear via Twitter, even though Khabibulin has been quite good the past two games (apparently his "give a damn" was switched on recently).
Prediction: 3-2 SO win for the Oilers.

These have been days of introspection in the Jewish calendar. The time from Rosh Hashanah to the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, is meant for self-reflection and growth. Thus, among other things, I have been struggling with the issue of striking Syria.
Last night President Barack Obama made the case for bombing Syria by saying that if we allow a tyrant such as Bashar al-Assad to gas his own people with impunity, we risk having other tyrants and terrorists use chemical weapons, eventually against Americans.
After listening to the president's case against Assad, I watched Charlie Rose's hourlong interview with Assad. It is impossible for me to judge the veracity of anything Assad said. Equally, however, we do not have the ability to verify the evidence our own government presents to be a factual assessment of what really went on in Syria on August 21.
Here is what we do know: Assad is a ruthless dictator, who in his own words, is willing to take all measures to win this war. We also know that the U.S. government, as well as intelligence communities around the world, are unreliable. There wasn't an intelligence service in the world that, prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, did not believe that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. We went to war at a cost of $1.9 trillion in order to ensure that the weapons of mass destruction that Hussein allegedly had were taken from him. We relied heavily on the words of dissident Iraqis such as Rafid Ahmed Alwan Al-Janabi and Ahmed Chalabi, who claimed they had evidence that Hussein possessed these weapons. In the end, however, it has become clear that these Iraqi dissidents played Western governments and influenced them to go to war under false pretenses.

This is just part of the grandiose master plan. People from Electronics City will now link up to the airport via a series of three skyways. At the end of the journey, they will have the option of purchasing pictures of their terror struck faces taken just as their cars begin to hurtle down the steepest ramp of the skyway.
People from Whitefield and Indiranagar need not worry either. A skyway will fly them over the old airport, past Domlur and into a large hole in the ground located near Johnson market. Illuminated signs bearing the inscription: "We suffered for 40 years, it's your turn now, gaaaahahaha", sponsored by the Yelahanka residents association, will be installed in the hole to make the descent more bearable.
A special corps of 83 traffic policemen specially selected on the basis of paunch size will be stationed throughout the length of the skyway to frantically motion the traffic along. Special parachutes will be provided to them to quickly exit the skyway in the event of a traffic jam.
National petroleum reserves are expected to hit zero 6 months after the inauguration of the airport. Bicycling on the skyways will therefore be actively encouraged. To provide further encouragement, speakers will be installed at regular intervals throughout the skyway, playing the song "Aye Gangu, ee biku kalisi kodu nangu*" on endless loop.
In anticipation of frequent power failures rendering the high speed train useless, passengers will be provided with a cone of kadle puri** each and marched to the airport in single file. Senior citizens however, will be suspended from the tracks and provided with a set of hand pedals to winch themselves slowly but safely to the airport. The IPL cheerleading squad will be recruited to recite "Dum lagake, aisa" to a pair of bullocks that will be airlifted onto the tracks to pull the train to safety.
It's all going to happen. By 2009.
So far, we've got this:
*Dear Mr Gangadharaiah, would you be so kind as to educate me on the workings of this charming two-wheeled transportation device?

January 16, 2009
President and Provost Welcome Community Back to Campus
To Case Western Reserve University Community:
As the new semester begins, we write to update you regarding progress on some of our key priorities for 2009. First, however, we want to congratulate all of you for the remarkable accomplishments of the past year. Any one of our greatest collective successes – record-level fundraising, elimination of our budget deficit or completing a strategic plan – would stand as an impressive achievement in itself. That we managed all three in 2008 testifies to the enormous talent and dedication of this community. Both of us deeply appreciate the contributions you have made to the University's progress, and are eager to build on our growing momentum in the coming year.
These advances have taken place at a time when the national economy is experiencing challenges of historic proportions. As we noted in our November 4 communication, we are watching these developments closely in planning for the University's future. We remain committed to investing in our highest priorities, but also recognize that responsible stewardship requires that we be fully prepared to adapt to changes in the broader financial landscape.
The discipline that allowed us to finish 2008 with a surplus has helped position us well for current challenges. Standard & Poor's last month pointed to significant improvements in the University's financial operations in upgrading our credit rating outlook. In addition, our endowment is highly diversified and exceptionally well managed. Over the five years preceding June 30, 2008, for example, compounded returns averaged 13 percent annually. Still, just as the nation's dramatic market changes have influenced your personal financial situation, they also have affected the University's long-term financial assets. We are still finalizing year-end investment performance, but estimate the value of our total endowment assets at about $1.4 billion as of December 31st, a figure that represents a 20 percent decline over the previous six months.
In that context, today's extraordinary times demand that we be even more careful in administering our daily financial operations and in preparing for the future. We already have conveyed to deans and other leaders the imperative of evaluating every expense to ensure that it is truly essential to University operations. At the same time, we are reviewing various financial models to inform our budget deliberations. We have no immediate plans for significant spending or personnel reductions in Fiscal Year 2010, but we also cannot rule them out altogether. We will continue to devote resources to areas that enhance the excellence of the institution, but in a time of constrained resources that may mean reallocations of existing dollars – rather than major infusions of new funding.
Part of our sensitivity regarding expenditures centers on our concern for our students and their families. We are working to reduce significantly the amount of our tuition increase for the next academic year, and to continue our substantial institutional commitment to financial assistance to our students. We plan to schedule an open forum early this semester where the Provost and some of his team can discuss these issues with students.
Amid this broader economic uncertainty, however, it is even more important to recognize the concrete progress the Institution has made in recent months. For example, our Office of Undergraduate Admissions relocated to Wolstein Hall in November, a beautiful space that more fully conveys the quality of the institution to prospective students and their families. Vice President for Enrollment Management Randy Deike and his team also are more effectively targeting recruitment efforts; as of last week applications are a full 20 percent ahead of this time last year – a figure that translates to an increase of more than 1,000 applications.
Meanwhile, we are continuing to strengthen our capacity in both communications and fundraising. Our new magazine, Think, is an outstanding example of the ways we have become more sophisticated in conveying our powerful story. Senior Vice President for University Relations and Development Bruce Loessin and his staff are being just as thoughtful in identifying and securing new resources, even as we continue to rebuild relationships with our many longtime supporters.
In addition, we have taken significant steps to execute key initiatives cited in our strategic plan, Forward Thinking. Working groups comprised of faculty, staff and students are detailing and launching plans to advance key initiatives in internationalization, faculty and staff compensation, student advising, and the assessment of our doctoral programs. We are convening a leadership retreat in early February where participants across the campus will establish an agenda that identifies the University's highest and most immediate priorities. We will provide you a more detailed update on their work after that event.
As you recall, Forward Thinking calls on the University to build on strengths. Even a cursory review of news from the past year demonstrates that we have them in abundance. While we must be vigilant in our efforts to meet the challenges of the current economy, we are convinced that still greater success is yet to come. Thank you again for an outstanding 2008, and we look forward to an even more wonderful New Year.

Why Do the Moon and the Sun Never Appear Together?
Long, long time ago, the Sun and the Moon lived happily together in the sky. They always appeared together during the day and might.
One day, the Sun shone brightly so that it almost burned the Moon. The Sunlight hurt the Moon's eyes very much. This made the Moon blind.
The Moon left the Sun although the Sun had apologized to the Moon.
The Sun loved the Moon very much, so he chased her. He chased and chased through the years and centuries but has never caught the Moon.
That's why the Sun shines during the day and at night the Moon appears. They will never reunite again.

Happy birthday ol' floater! The 520 Bridge opened 50 years ago today — August 28, 1963. On the same day that local dignitaries gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony on Lake Washington, Martin Luther King led millions in the March on Washington in DC. Unrelated facts? Not in the least.
But before getting to that, WSDOT has been celebrating 50 years of floating across State Route 520 by collecting stories about the highway. Their "520at50 Memory Lane" website and Twitter campaign allows people to write their own bits of local history:
My friends and I rode our bikes from our Ravenna homes to be a part of the festivities. We got there well before the crowds arrived and stationed ourselves in position to see the cutting close up… I do remember that my friends and I broke the ribbons before they were cut and we held them together until after the official cutting took place. Each of us had a bit of those pieces of plastic in our pockets as we rode our bikes back home that day. — David Oehler
… when my girlfriends mom let me user her Vespa scooter while my car was being repaired. I would then drive across the bridge, under construction on the Vespa. The first time the construction guys said I couldn't go but I told them I had to get to class after visiting my girlfriend. They recognized a true romance in the making and let me cross every day for about a month until the bridge opened when I had to pay tolls like everyone else, 25 cents. — Chris Warner
Looking back, we joke that our early years at Seward School dealing with constant SR 520 and I-5 construction noise is the reason we were stunted intellectually. — Anonymous
The site has a bunch of historical photos, documents and vintage video showing the bridge under construction in the early 60s. The silent footage is worth watching for scenes of workers throwing hot rivets, burning tree stumps (is that the Arboretum?) and a cable safety gate stopping a charging dump truck before the drawspan. The gate wins. Sort of.
WSDOT has also published a more substantial history website of the corridor as part of the 520 highway replacement project: 520history.org. The site, developed in partnership with HistoryLink, broadly covers the tribes that once lived between Portage and Union Bays, the industrialization of Lake Washington and tells the more "official" history of the 1960s floating bridge construction. Lots of interesting new material there.
As commendable as these efforts to record history are, there are many stones left unturned. While there is mention of the freeway politics behind the Montlake-Medina route choice for 520 over Kirkland-Sandpoint — (Montlake's wetlands and garbage dumps were easier obstacles to overcome) — there is nothing about the discourse of those debates including "white flight" fears of diminished property values and "social change." And most glaringly missing from the story: the grass-roots citizens' protest that later defeated 520's planned successor, the R.H. Thomson Expressway through the Arboretum and Central District. Eugene Smith's 2004 book Montlake: An Urban Eden touches on this, noting how Seattle Mayor Gordon Clinton framed the city's preferred Thomson route:
[Clinton] wrote Senator Warren Magnuson in November, 1960, to … "preserve the Arboretum as a priceless asset to the City and the State." He acknowledged that condemnation of private property was necessary and that it would cost half a million dollars more than Plan A, as determined by city-appointed appraisers. Their report had observed that, if the right-of-way left the homes on the east side of 26th Avenue, "the present owners will tend to move elsewhere . . . [and] their replacements are apt, and almost certain, to be of a lower social stratum and will drop the quality and, hence, the value of the whole Montlake Peninsula." Plan B, on the other hand, would produce a "very minor reduction of values in the total Montlake Peninsula [and] would more than offset the added cost of the private property acquisition."
With Plan B, the city then demolished about a dozen homes on 26th Ave E. Hard to imagine that happening today.
Anyways — happy birthday, Bridge!

I don't know that Windows (at least since NT) isn't actually already a small kernel surrounded by (dare I say "embraced and extended by") a lot of utilities. Sure, they're not command line utilities with cryptic 2 letter names and a man page full of switches. However, an awful lot of what people talk about as "Windows" isn't the kernel (a lot of the GDI, for instance, has been separate from the "kernel", per se, since pre WinNT) > If they really do create a >minimal kernel, it perforce will look and behave a lot like the linux >kernel (or the Solaris kernel, or the Mac OSX kernel, or...). Maybe not >on the inside, although schedulers are schedulers, maybe not in the way >it manages processes or memory, but it will need to provide scheduling, >process management, and memory management, and device management. It does all this now. The question is whether you can get rid of a lot of the other stuff, since at a very fundamental level, windows follows an event driven model, where the events are largely from user interaction. Inside the guts, a lot of the work is in deciding where (to which process) to send those events (e.g. a mouse move or click, or whatever). >This in turn moves their system closer to being a suitable host for VMs, >as I think the ideal towards which OS's are moving is the kernel as a VM >host, everything else as a VM guest on top of a device-independent >layer. At least I hope we are going there. I would imagine that this is the case. Certainly, when NT first came out, there was great emphasis put on the Hardware Abstraction Layer (so you could run essentially the same OS on Alphas and x86s). The challenge faced by MS for Windows (as opposed to Linux) is that they need to have well defined hardware abstraction and the VM to real hardware layer tightly controlled, because it very important for digital rights management (to make sure that nobody can put a shim layer in and tap off the protected content). What is perceived as a virtue in the Linux world is viewed as a terrifying hole in the MS Windows DRM world. Jim, W6RMK

Two rumored high-definition ports of PlayStation 2 games, bound for the PlayStation 3, look less like rumors today. Supposed box art for Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection and Prince of Persia 3D Trilogy has apparently been outed by retailers.
Both compilations, previously leaked by retail listings, boast stereoscopic 3D support on their box arts, as reported by French gaming web site JeuxVideo. A handful of online retailers, from GameStop in the U.S. to GAME in the U.K., have added, then removed Mortal Kombat HD listings for their systems.
The Mortal Kombat compilation from Warner Bros. looks to feature the three games previously rumored, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, as well as a demo of next year's Mortal Kombat reboot. Ubisoft's collection packs in Prince of Persias The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones.
Previous leaks peg re-releases of Ubisoft's Splinter Cell series as bound for the PlayStation 3 as well.
Last week, Sony confirmed the similarly leaked existence of a Ico and Shadow of the Colossus re-release for the PS3, noting that it would employ stereoscopic 3D features.
While Warner Bros. and Ubisoft have yet to officially announce any of these re-releases, we can confirm that if these box art leaks are genuine, that minimal effort is being exerted for their cover art.

Baden Powell, a war hero, founded the Boy Scout movement. He derived the idea, in part, from using boys for responsible jobs during the siege of Mafeking -- a battle during the South African war with the Dutch Boers in 1899. There "B.P.," as he was called, learned the way young boys could courageously and with equanimity respond to life's most serious challenges. Scouting ultimately spread to the United States after William D. Boyce, a millionaire publisher from Chicago, visited London and got lost in a dense fog. While standing under a street lamp, trying to get his bearings, a young lad approached Boyce and asked if he needed help. Boyce conceded he did and the young boy offered to guide him to the address he was seeking. Boyce offered to pay the boy a shilling for his help, but the boy replied, "No, sir, I am a scout. Scouts do not accept tips for good turns." Boyce was so impressed with the youngster, he went home determined to start Scouting in America. The Boy Scouts of America celebrated its 95th Scouting anniversary during the week of February 6-12, 2005, with the theme "On My Honor, Timeless Values." Winston Churchill once said of Scouting: "Many venerable, famous institutions and systems long honored by men perished in the storm; but the Boy Scout movement survived. It survived not only the war [World War II], but the numbing reactions of the aftermath. While so many elements in the life and spirit of the victorious nations seemed to be lost in stupor, it flourished and grew increasingly. Its motto gathers new national significance as the years unfold upon our island. It speaks to every heart its message of duty and honor: 'Be Prepared' to stand up faithfully for right and truth, however the winds may blow." If Churchill were alive today, he would be proud of the way the Boy Scouts of America has stood for "right and truth," despite the way the winds of moral change have blown. In fact, this virtuous organization has been besieged on every side from attacks by leftists who are determined to either reform or kill it. Still, the Scouts have never turned from their oath to do their duty to God and their country and to obey Scout law; to help other people at all times; to keep themselves physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Think of it. Here is a youth program based on doing "good turns." They have helped to make volunteer service an American ideal. With their every act of kindness, they have strengthened our nation's commitment to civic responsibility. Scouting has helped young people develop for public service and become effective leaders in our nation. According to the website ScoutingAround.com, approximately 64 percent of Air Force Academy graduates, 58 percent of West Point graduates, 70 percent of Annapolis graduates, 72 percent of Rhodes scholars, and 85 percent of FBI agents were Boys Scouts. Moreover, one of every 100 Scouts will enter the clergy due to his Scouting relationships. Nevertheless, because the Scouts insist their members profess a belief in God, because they will not accept girls as "boy scouts," because they believe that to be "morally straight" means to reject the practice of homosexuality, they have been attacked by local governmental bodies, school systems, the United Way and radical groups like the American Civil Liberties Union. As Gavin Groom, executive director of Save Our Scouts, puts it: "With the support of many in the media and well-financed nonprofit organizations, today the Boy Scouts have been made to look like the 'bad guy.'" Last year, even the Pentagon agreed in a negotiated settlement with the ACLU to cease direct sponsorship of Boy Scout units on military facilities. That decision by the Department of Defense prompted Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) to introduce the Save Our Scouts legislation. Frist says "[T]he legislation stipulates that no federal law, including any rule, regulation, directive, instruction, or order, shall be construed to limit any federal agency from providing any form of support to the Boy Scouts of America ... or any organization chartered by the Boy Scouts of America." Frist had hoped the measure would pass by unanimous consent, but it didn't. The Senate Majority Leader plans to reintroduce the Save Our Scouts bill this year, saying he hopes "common sense will prevail and both chambers will give their support to protecting the scouts." "However the issue is resolved," writes Eagle Scout Hans Zeiger, "it is not a battle we can afford to lose. There is too much at stake here to give up on the Boy Scouts. Our very capacity for self-government is at risk when we allow the ACLU to deny a boy's opportunity to learn to be 'trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.'" Hundreds of years ago on a grassy knoll outside the city of Bethsaida, when Jesus' popularity was at its peak, a tremendous crowd gathered around our Savior to hear him. Looking with compassion on the hungry multitudes Jesus said to Philip, his disciple, "Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat" (John 6:5). Philip was despondent in his answer: "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little" (John 6:7). Almost mockingly Andrew, another disciple of Christ, stepped forward to exclaim, "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes" (John 6:9). Interestingly, the miracle Jesus wrought next by feeding over 5,000 people with only five barley loaves and two small fishes was dependent on the awareness, "There is a lad here ...." * In the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus demonstrated that some of the highest hopes of a nation are predicated on the presence of its boys. Boys, hardwired as they are for aggressive behavior, need to be shaped and molded for good. Baden-Powell's purpose in creating the Boy Scouts was for that very reason -- to make young boys into fine men. What is more, our Lord indicated that the judgment for those who oppose such an objective would be so terrible, it would be better that a millstone be hung around their necks and they be cast into the deepest part of the sea (Matthew 18:6). * This writer gratefully acknowledges G.
