Im running the following specs:
processor = AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.41 ghz (I built this computer a long time ago, I had no idea what 32 vs 64 was I assumed bigger was better but I'm running a 32 bit operating system due to driver conflicts with 64 bit windows)
ram = 1 gig DDR2 dual channel (I have 2 extra dimms, can I put a matched pair of 2gigs in these extra slots of a different make and brand? I heard 3 gigs is all you can put on a 32 bit system)
video = Geforce 8600 GT
I experience a bunch of lag when running complex UI setups with lots of active components (like power auras with many many many effects to show debuffs on me, on targets, cooldowns, ect) especially in densely populated areas. Outside of Dal in normal BGs and whatnot, it runs smooth enough with graphics turned down, starts to get a little chop when turning graphics up, and gets a ton of chop (and huge load times) no matter the graphics settings when I go into Dal or enter a densely populated zone (Isle of Conquest or Wintergrasp).
Basically, I can't tell if it is a weak Graphics card, Memory, or even processor, or some combination of the above. Thanks for the help.

Important Note If You Are Uploading Via FTP: If you upload the plugin via FTP, it may not work and give critical errors. This is not a bug in the plugin itself and can be very easily solved by chossing your FTP transfer type to be "binary" and then re-uploading the plugin. See this.
Once installed, DukaPress List View is ready for use!
Click here to learn how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once you install and activate DukaPress List View, a new DukaPress Shortcode will be added to your website. The shortcode is:
This shortcode works similarly to the regular DukaPress shortcode for creating Grid displays.
This particular shortcode has these variables that you need to define for it to work correctly:
- category – should contain products category id – you can have more than one id separated by commas. How do you find a category id?
- total – defines the number of products that should be displayed.
- per_page – this is the number of products to display per page
- order – defines how the products will be ordered. Possible values are ASC, DESC or rand. You can only use one at time.
- sku – this is completely optional. if you include the words sku="true" in the shortcode, then an SKU column will be output. For this to work, you need to have defined, in your products, a custom field named "sku"
When correctly defined, it should look like this:
For example, if you define your shortcode as:
[dpsc_list_display category="1" total="12″ per_page="4″ type="duka" order="DESC"]
This will display products from category ID 1. It will display a total of 12 products, with 4 products on every page. The products will be ordered in a descending way. Kindly note that you have to change category="1" to bear the category id of your products.
Buy Now Buttons
If you add the modifier direct="true" to the shortcode, then you will have "Buy Now" buttons instead of "Add to Cart". This will look like so: [dpsc_list_display category="1" total="12″ per_page="4″ type="duka" order="DESC" direct="true"]
Product Excerpt
If you define the excerpt for your products, it will appear as a short description on the Grid View Product page(s).
It is very easy to manipulate every little aspect of DukaPress List View using CSS. We have included "CSS hooks" that you can target to make List View look and feel exactly how you want it to fee.
If you have Firefox with the Firebug extension or Google Chrome and you "Inspect Element" While viewing the List View product list, you will see all the CSS hooks that you can target.
Inside the DukaPress List View folder, there is a CSS file named dp_list_view.css to assist in this.

AFR - no. You need a real wideband sensor to detect it and something to display it in real time or log it for review.
So, if it's just a code reader, you really cant tell anything unless the car has stored some codes. The car can store some codes and not activate a CEL.
However, if you have a data logger, then you should be able to see the fuel trims. If they are pegged, then you need a tune or hardware correction.
If we are just talking a couple of bolt-ons, run it over to your dyno shop for an A/F check. If you are running anything more exotic then you may want to install a wideband gauge or logger.

New York Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez, is putting his time during the football lockout to good use. He's partnered up with Sam's Club and the charity campaign Giving Made Simple.
"Basically what Sam's Club is doing is donating $2 million through the month of July to four different charities. Alliance for a Healthier Generation, The Y[MCA], Oasis, and Sesame Street, all different demographics and they're promoting the prevention of chronic disease," Sanchez said on ABC News.
"Whether it's oral health care or staying active when you get to your 50s and older, they're giving back with every vote," he continued. Sanchez also said this was a perfect partnership for him since for his line of work, he needs to stay healthy, so promoting being active was a no-brainer for him.
The process for the donation is decided by vote, so visit www.samsclub.com/givingmadesimple to support your favorite charity. There is a personal donation of five dollars per vote included.

Merrill Lynch, a long-time IBM bull, downgraded it to accumulate for near-term gains. Analyst Daniel Mandresh cited concerns that shipments of the company's mainframe computers capable of processing up to 23 million instructions a second were being held back by the transition to an even more powerful mainframe. In addition, he said, the stronger dollar will reduce overseas services and software revenues.

Hair Growth Signal Dictated by Fat Cells - Hope for the Bald
Can baldness be cured? Yale researchers say that the trick is in getting fat cell (adipocyte) precursors under the skin to talk to stem cells at the base of the hair follicles. The discovery of the source of signals that trigger hair growth may lead to new treatments for baldness.
The molecular signals from these fat precursor cells were necessary to spur hair growth in mice, according to the research report. The report was published in the Sept. 2 issue of the journal Cell.
"If we can get these fat cells in the skin to talk to the dormant stem cells at the base of hair follicles, we might be able to get hair to grow again," said Valerie Horsley, assistant professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology and senior author of the paper.
Men with male pattern baldness still have stem cells in follicle roots but these stem cells lose the ability to jump-start hair regeneration. Scientists have known that these follicle stem cells need signals from within the skin to grow hair, but the source of those signals has been unclear.
Horsley's team observed that when hair dies, the layer of fat in the scalp that comprises most of the skin's thickness shrinks. When hair growth begins, the fat layer expands in a process called adipogenesis. Researchers found that a type of stem cell involved in creation of new fat cells — adipose precursor cells — was required for hair regeneration in mice. They also found these cells produce molecules called PDGF (platelet derived growth factors), which are necessary to produce hair growth.
Horsley's lab is trying to identify other signals produced by adipose precursor stem cells that may play a role in regulating hair growth. She also wants to know whether these same signals are required for human hair growth. Other authors from Yale are lead author Eric Festa, Jackie Fretz, Ryan Berry, Barbara Schmidt, Matthew Rodeheffer and Mark Horowitz.

Fuel rod container at Onagawa plant found damaged
Jul. 10, 2012 – Updated 10:57 UTC (19:57 JST)
Emphasis Added
Fuel rod container at Onagawa plant found damaged
Japan's nuclear safety agency has ordered Tohoku Electric Power Company to check and report on whether the damage was caused by the massive earthquake on March 11th last year.
The utility recently used an underwater camera to inspect the 4.5-meter-high metal containers in a fuel rod storage pool.
It found a 2-centimeter-long, several-millimeter-wide chip on one of the containers. It also found more than 12 places on other containers where pieces were missing.
Such damage has never been reported at a nuclear plant in Japan.

By Chang Jae-soon
SEOUL, May 19 (Yonhap) -- A tearful President Park Geun-hye offered a fresh apology Monday for the messed-up response to the deadly sinking of the ferry Sewol, promising deep-cutting reforms to make South Korea a safer nation to live in, including dismantling the Coast Guard and creating a new safety agency.
The nationally televised address came about a month after the Sewol went down on April 16, leaving more than 300 people, mostly high school students, dead or missing and the entire nation grieving and wondering bitterly why more lives could not have been saved.
"As president responsible for the people's lives and safety, I offer a heartfelt apology for the pains the people have suffered," Park said during the address. "The ultimate responsibility for failing to respond properly to this accident lies with me."
Public anger has been running high amid criticism the government's response to the sinking was slow and in disarray, and that more lives could have been saved if it had been handled right. Cursory safety checks on the ship, insufficient safety training for the crew and other problems were also blamed.
The crisis dealt a blow to Park's leadership, sending her approval ratings tumbling to one of the lowest levels since she took office last year. Candlelight vigils mourning the victims have often turned into protests against Park and her government.
Park has also apologized several times, but she has been under pressure to make a new apology as the previous apologies were indirect and not formal enough because they came during a Cabinet meeting, a luncheon meeting with a group of religious leaders and in a speech at a Buddha's birthday ceremony.
Tears welled up in Park's eyes at the end of the address as she called out the names one by one of the teachers and crew members who were killed while trying to save other people during the sinking, as well as a rescue diver who died during operations to search the sunken ship.
"I believe they are the true heroes of our times," she said, her voice choked up with emotion and tears running down her cheeks.
Park unveiled a package of remedies to upgrade safety standards and end corruption undermining them, including a decision to dismantle the Coast Guard for responding poorly to the disaster. She said its duties and responsibilities will be transferred to other agencies, including the ministry of national safety to be established.
"The Coast Guard failed to fulfill its original duties in the Sewol accident. Had it actively carried out rescue efforts immediately after the accident, it would have been possible to greatly reduce sacrifices," she said. "Rescue efforts of the Coast Guard virtually failed."
Investigation-related duties of the Coast Guard will be transferred to the National Police Agency while maritime safety, rescue and guard responsibilities will be handed over to the national safety ministry, Park said. The envisioned ministry will also take over maritime safety duties from the maritime ministry and the home affairs ministry, she said.
Park sees the accident as a combination of long-running irregularities and corruption deeply rooted in many corners of South Korean society, such as belittling and overlooking safety regulations for the sake of cost-cutting and efficiency, and collusive ties between regulators and businesses.
Last week, she also said that South Korea's quick economic development left the country obsessed with materialism and an emphasis on convenience over safety, leading to the creation of "abnormal systems, practices and culture" that are now threatening the country.
On Monday, she pledged to end such ill practices and corruption undermining safety.
"This accident showed how big a calamity can be brought about by the abnormal practice of collusion between the government and civilians" and the deep-rooted culture of putting personal and other relations ahead of official duties, Park said.
She vowed to overhaul the bureaucracy to end such practices as retired government officials landing jobs designed to look after interests of businesses. The practice was blamed for fostering cozy ties between regulators and businesses and contributing to sloppy safety checks on the Sewol.
Park said she won't appoint government officials to lead organizations and agencies that are charged with overseeing safety regulations and are prone to corruption. The government will also toughen restrictions on government officials taking jobs related to their duties after retirement, she said.
Such officials have been denounced as "bureaucratic mafia."
"In order to end the harmful effects of bureaucratic mafia and fundamentally reform the bureaucracy, I will carry out renovations from the point of appointment and to the point of retirement to make the bureaucracy more open and equipped with expertise," Park said.
Park also proposed that the National Assembly enact a special law authorizing the establishment of a fact-finding committee to be charged with looking into all suspicions of corruption and other irregularities related to the ferry disaster.
"The Sewol's sinking will be recorded as a hard-to-remove wound in our history," she said. "However, if we build a truly safe Republic of Korea, it can also be recorded as a new history. I believe such heavy responsibilities are given to all of us."

Why do men need to pay an upgrade free for unlimited messaging and photo uploads and women get it free?
Simple. Traditionally adult personals websites always have far more male members than female. What is the point of a sex site with millions of members but the majority are male? To deliver the best possible experience we upgrade all women for free so we have the best possible mix of members. Men are required to pay a small upgraded fee which we believe is very reasonable for the quality of service provided, great mix or members and not to mention.. all the sex you will be getting.

Before 2013, the South Carolina election law said that a party cannot switch from nominating by primary, to nominating by convention, unless three-fourths of the delegates to its state convention approve the idea. In 2013, the legislature made it even more difficult for a party that nominates by primary to switch to conventions. It amended the law to say that not only must a party get three-fourths of all the delegates to its state convention to approve the change, but it must also then put the question to the voters on its next primary ballot.
If one reads the new law literally, it seems to say that no party can nominate by convention unless it first has a primary in which a majority of voters at its primary approve the idea that the party should nominate by convention in the following election.
On April 15, the Libertarian Party asked the State Supreme Court to interpret the new law. The case is South Carolina Libertarian Party v South Carolina State Election Commission, 2014-775. The State Supreme Court need not hear the case unless it wishes to. Presumably, if the Court refuses to hear the case, the Libertarian Party will be more secure. The party worries that someone in the near future might challenge all the party's convention nominees on the grounds that the party doesn't have the right to nominate by convention, because it never had a primary in which it asked its primary voters for permission to nominate by convention at the next election.
The 2013 bill, SB 2, now known as Act 61, also said that the bill would not take effect until it was approved by the U.S. Justice Department, because at the time all South Carolina election law changes had to be approved by the U.S. Justice Department. But the Justice Department never precleared SB 2, because a few weeks after the bill was signed, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Shelby County, Alabama v Holder, saying the preclearance formula is flawed. So the state takes the position that even though the bill says it won't go into effect unless it it precleared, that that part of the bill is null and void. The Libertarian Party lawsuit asks the State Supreme Court to rule on that problem as well. If the Court accepts the case, the Libertarian Party will have performed a service to all of the state's political parties and all of its voters, just to get this matter settled.

Anti-Mormonism bites Romney in South
March 15, 2012
The polls and the campaign dialogue aren't much help in assessing the Mormon factor in the Alabama and Mississippi primaries. The distinct feeling on the ground was that it had an impact, leading many evangelical Christians to reject pragmatic arguments to ignore Mitt Romney's Mormonism because of his presumed electability.
In a pattern dating back to the single-issue campaigns of the segregation era, discussion of this underground religious division was conducted almost entirely through code words and signals and was mainly missing from public forums and press accounts.

Are Mormons Keeping Mitt Romney Afloat?
March 14, 2012
The Atlantic
There are six kids in white shirts and black ties standing in a line. One steps forward and dances around the others, hissing and sneering like a bobcat. He moves to the front on the chorus and the boys start slapping their thighs in a steady one-two-three, one-two-three rhythm. The leader cries, "Grab the book from your pants!" They pull out a black book — one-two-three. "Slap the book on your chest!" They slap away — one-two-three. "Read the book, read the book, pray, pray!" One-two-three. "We've got the gospel, you get it, you get it?" Then they step towards the camera and wave their hands. "You come walk in the waters with meeee!" The boys fall to the floor in a fit of giggles. It's one of the odder sights on YouTube.
The book is The Book of Mormon and the boys are young missionaries. They are dancing a Mormon-themed version of the Maori war dance, or Haka — just one of the many Mormon Haka videos posted on YouTube (if you want to see the dance done with real force, check out this version by by Mormons Elders Hopoate and Ofahulu in Australia.) This extraordinary cross-fertilization of Mormonism and Polynesian culture is quite common. It's a testament to the broad and growing reach of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — and hints at the political power of the Mormon diaspora.

A different take on Romney and his Mormon heritage
March 14, 2012
Atlanta Journal Constitution (Georgia)
The history of the Mormon faith may not be as long as some, but it includes repeated instances in which Mormons have been hounded and violently persecuted for the crime of being different. In a series of exiles beginning around 1830, Mormons were driven out of upper New York state, where the faith has its roots, to Ohio; from Ohio to Missouri; and from Missouri to Illinois, where their prophet Joseph Smith and his brother were murdered by a lynch mob in 1844.
Under the leadership of Brigham Young, the survivors then fled even further west, finally finding refuge in the wilds of Utah. Even there, in the Mormon Land of Zion, bitter and sometimes violent conflicts with the federal government continued for decades, fueled in part by the Mormon practice of polygamy, which the church officially abandoned in the early 20th century.

From Harvard Business School, Mormon "Mini-Mitts" Cheer On Their Idol
March 14, 2012
These weren't just any Romney supporters; they were part of Harvard Business School's small but ever-present Mormon community — ambitious, young BYU alumni tracing the same academic path that the candidate did four decades ago. Now, with Romney poised to clinch the Republican presidential nomination, this club of young mini-Mitts is watching the race with a mix of glowing pride, fierce admiration — and a special understanding of the forces that helped mold their idol.
Indeed, if Romney ever had a core constituency, it was sitting in this room.
"He is like a role model to me," said David Theurer, a Colorado native who studied mechanical engineering at BYU. "Fantastically successful career, served well in the church, Stake President — when I think of what would be a great life for me, his example of success in family life and professional life is inspirational."

Mitt Romney's Mormon Millstone
March 14, 2012
National Journal
Will Mitt Romney overcome what is clearly a lingering bigotry against Mormonism, especially in the the Christian evangelical South? For all of the big-picture analyses we all continue to write about Romney's lack of appeal to a radicalized GOP "base," his third place finish in Alabama and Mississippi could have had more to do with straightforward prejudice, as my colleague Alex Roarty points out today.
Well before the primaries yesterday, I had heard prominent Mormon Republicans express concerns about this sleeping serpent. "The story that's not being written enough is that there is a lot of discomfort with Latter Day Saints, and all the other issues are masking that underlying prejudice," said one Republican who supports Romney. "The truth is, there is not a dime's worth of difference when it comes to public policy between Romney, Santorum and Gingrich."

Romney's Evangelical Problem Not Going Away
March 13, 2012
National Journal
Romney's struggles with evangelical, socially conservative voters can be attributed largely to the perception that he's been inconsistent on key social issues like abortion and gay rights. But at least part of the problem may be his Mormon faith.
That hasn't percolated to the surface much during the campaign, but it could help explain some of the continued resistance to a candidate who still remains the party's likely nominee. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, speaking on Fox News this week, called it "a very subtle issue" that "may be a problem" in some states.
Former Louisiana senator John Breaux was more blunt Tuesday on MSNBC. "People in the South may think that President Obama is a Muslim, but they know that Gov. Romney is a Mormon and it makes them uncomfortable," he said. "They feel like it's sort of a cult, it's not really a Christian religion … That's the basic problem."

Mormon Church going before BSA
March 15, 2012
Times Ledger (New York)
Flushing civics and lawmakers want the city Board of Standards and Appeals to deny plans for a Mormon church that exceeds zoning regulations, but the agency recently gave a green light to a similar application in southern Queens.
Civic leaders and a state senator turned out to show their disapproval of plans for a house of worship that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wants to build at 145-13 33rd Ave.
"Why in God's name are we even considering this?" asked state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), standing outside of the empty lot where the LDS church submitted plans to build a two-story church with a 95-foot steeple that seeks to double the maximum allowable floor space.
"The community board has already voted against it. The borough president voted against it. We're here to send a message to the BSA," he said.

Mormon bishop takes deal in failure to report child abuse case
March 14, 2012
Salt Lake Tribune (Utah)
A Mormon bishop accused of failing to report the alleged abuse of a child in his congregation has taken a plea deal that could end with the misdemeanor's dismissal.
Amado Gress Rojas, 62, entered into a "diversion agreement" Monday in Provo Justice Court. The deal with prosecutors means Rojas can ask the court to dismiss the single class B misdemeanor count if he has no criminal violations over the next six months.

Glenn Beck: Chris Matthews Is 'A Bigot On The South' And Mormons (VIDEO)
March 14, 2012
Huffington Post
Glenn Beck tore Chris Matthews apart on Wednesday, railing against the MSNBC host's remarks that the GOP "is willing to outsource" the general election "to a Mormon" out of desperation to beat President Obama.
Matthews made the comments during his network's coverage of the Mississippi and Alabama primaries on Tuesday night. He was discussing the role of religion in the election. He went on to compare the GOP election to outsourcing jobs to India, and jokingly described Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as "cultists."
Beck reacted with outrage on his Wednesday show. He accused Matthews of insulting the intelligence of Southern voters, and evoking "Mormon bigotry" in his comments. "The guy is a bigot, through and through," Beck alleged.

Glenn Beck Calls Chris Matthews 'A Total And Complete Bigot' Over Mormon Remarks
March 14, 2012
During last night's primary results, Chris Matthews explained why Mitt Romney is doing as well as he is among conservatives despite being a Mormon, by comparing him to a computer technician in India, because "you don't care who's fixing it, just fix the damn computer." On his show today, Glenn Beck (who is also a Mormon, mind you) responded to Matthews' remarks, calling the MSNBC host a "total and complete bigot," suggesting it's part of a larger pattern of anti-Mormon bigotry on the part of not just Matthews but the media in general.

Chris Matthews: Southern Haters Have to Choose Between 'Cultists' Romney and Santorum
March 14, 2012
Chris Matthews doesn't think much of southerners. The Hardball anchor appeared on MSNBC's primary night coverage, Tuesday, and mocked the supposed thought process of the Republican voters: "They've got three RCs, or two RCs- two Roman Catholics- running and a Mormon, so three cultists running, and they gotta pick one of the three cultists, as they see them."

Romney wins heavily Mormon American Samoa, Hawaii; Santorum takes Alabama, Mississippi
March 14, 2012
Gant Daily (Pennsylvania)
Romney won the caucus in Hawaii on Tuesday and is the projected winner in American Samoa, both places where the Mormon Church has a long-standing presence, many members and temples.
One in every 19 people in Hawaii is Mormon, while American Samoa is more than 25 percent Mormon. The Mormons first sent missionaries to American Samoa in 1843, only 13 years after the church was created.
However, Romney lost the primaries in Alabama and Mississippi where only 2 percent of the population is Mormon. Newt Gingrich came in ahead of Romney in both of those states while Paul trailed in the single digits everywhere but in Hawaii, where he came in third.

Mormon Political Activism: a History
March 14, 2012
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormon church, is officially politically neutral. It does not allow its meetinghouses or membership lists to be used for "partisan political purposes," and does not officially endorse political parties or candidates.
It does reserve "the right as an institution to address, in a nonpartisan way, issues that it believes have significant community or moral consequences." And according to the late Mormon apostle (later prophet) Ezra Benson — who was quoted twice by Mormon church leaders addressing the membership in worldwide General Conference in 2010 — "The [Mormon] prophet can receive revelation on any matter-temporal or spiritual," and "the prophet may well advise on civic matters." (This line was changed by the leaders who quoted him, to this: "The prophet may be involved in civic matters.)

Barbour: Romney's Faith Would Not Deter GOP November Voters
March 15, 2012
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said Wednesday presidential front-runner Mitt Romney's faith might have cost him votes in this week's southern primaries, but should he win the Republican nomination, "there will be 25,000 Southern Baptist preachers who will vote for a Mormon before they vote for Obama."
"If you had asked me three months or six months ago: OK, you got a moderately conservative former Massachusetts governor who is a Mormon, what are his chances in Mississippi and Alabama, I would say those three M`s make a pretty tall mountain." Barbour told Fox News' Neil Cavuto.
"And I think there is a likelihood that [Rick] Santorum`s faith and campaign counterpoised against the fact that Romney is a Mormon was worth some votes to Santorum, and cost Romney some votes here in Mississippi and Alabama — probably also in some other Southern states heretofore," he said. "The main thing, though, I think, is, in the fall, there will be 25,000 Southern Baptist preachers who will vote for a Mormon before they vote for Obama."

Marriott reflects on 40 years leading hotel giant
March 14, 2012
Detroit Free Press (Michigan)
Q: How important should a candidate's religion be?
A: It's important that the candidate be a person of strong moral character. They should be true to their beliefs, whether it's Protestant, born-again, Mormon, Jewish. There should be separation from church and state. When Kennedy was running, they didn't want the pope to tell Jack Kennedy what to do. We don't want the president of the Mormon church telling Mitt Romney what to do. If he's president, he won't. The Church is totally hands-off, politically. We want the country to understand that a Mormon in the White House is going to be just as effective as anybody else.
Q: You are a very active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How do you balance your religious beliefs with some of the desires of your guests?
A: I've always been concerned about (pornographic) movies in rooms. In the next three or four years, we won't have any more of those. That's something we've had a real problem with because the Church is very, very opposed to pornography, as it should be, and we are for families. But the owners of our hotels were making a lot of money. In fact, the only movies that make any money are pornography.

The highest Mormon Church officials gathered in January 1849 to finalize and circulate the most historic paper currency in their history.
Using Kirtland Safety Society Bank notes that were emitted in Ohio twelve years earlier, the notes were countersigned by the group for use in Salt Lake City and redeemable in gold. Placing their signatures on these notes were N.K. Whitney, Brigham Young, and Heber C, Kimball. Also penned on the notes are the "TB" mark of Thomas Bullock.

Railey: Who gets to define 'Christian'?
March 15, 2012
Richmond Times-Dispatch (Virginia)
I've got something in common with Mitt Romney: I'm not a Christian.
Neither one of us are, in the eyes of many Christians. They don't think Romney's one because he's a Mormon. And I'm a Quaker, which many Christians don't consider a Christian denomination.
Mormons and Quakers think of themselves as Christians. Many Christians say otherwise, because Mormons have a number of beliefs that differ from mainstream Christianity, including the Book of Mormon, the scripture they follow in addition to the Bible. And Quakers lack a dogma that includes some of the basics of mainstream Christianity, such as a belief in the Trinity, even though many individual Quakers believe in it.
I can't help wondering: Who really gets to decide?

New Rules, Same Old Retail At Utah's 'Mormon Mall'
March 14, 2012
International Business Times
Finally, a mall the founder of the Mormon faith, Joseph Smith, could warm up to … though it may not be the best hang-out spot for your run-of-the-mill teenager.
The nation's first "Mormon mall," City Creek Center, will open March 22 in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The 700,000-square foot will be one of the only mega retail hubs to open in the U.S. within the last year, featuring many of the expected brand names — but a wholly new set of rules.
Sure, you can hit Macy's, Nordstrom, Brooks Brothers and Tiffany & Co. all in one location, but leave the cigarettes at home, keep your wardrobe classy and forget about shopping on Sundays. The place will feature a code of conduct as extensive as its retail selection.
The "Rules of Conduct" were devised by the mall's developer, Taubman Centers Inc. They include a moratorium on snarky T-shirts, photography and pamphleteering.

A Megamall Backed By The Mormon Church Is Opening Next Week In Salt Lake City
March 14, 2012
Business Insider
It's a risky venture building a megamall these days. But a new one set to open next week in Salt Lake City is expected to do quite well.
The City Creek Center is jointly backed by Taubman Centers, Inc. and the Mormon church, with a big investment from the latter (no pun intended), reports Kris Hudson in The Wall Street Journal.
The mall has already leased out 92 percent of its retail space, with tenants like Macy's, Tiffany & Co., and the Gap.
What's more, Hudson writes, City Creek is located right across the street from Mormon headquarters and features a creek similar to the one Mormon settlers lived off of.

Mormon baptism an act of kindness
March 14, 2012
Worcester Telegram and Gazette (Massachusetts)
Recently the press described the Mormon's baptism of generations past, specifically when it involved people of other religions.
I am a practicing, synagogue-attending Jewess, and I see no problem with their genealogical effort. If Mormons believe their baptisms assure my progenitors' entrance into heaven, then I say "thank you." Likewise, when my father was dying, our Catholic friends lit candles and prayed for him. My family felt sincere gratitude.
In no way do I feel my beliefs or Jewishness has been blunted by their acts of kindness.

Mormon FAIR-Cast 79: Does Mitt Romney belong to a "racist religion"?
March 14, 2012
FAIR Blog
In this episode of Religion Today that originally aired on March 11, 2012, Martin Tanner and the president of FAIR, Scott Gordon, discuss the recent allegation of a Florida minister that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a "racist religion." The minister has called on Mitt Romney to, as the minister puts it: "openly renounce his racist Mormon Religion." Tanner and Gordon discuss the past history of racism that was pervasive in many Churches, even before the founding of the LDS Church, and the way in which some racist attitudes and myths may have crept into the thinking of some early members of the Church. They emphasize the more recent statements from the Church that "unequivocally condemn[] racism, including any and all past racism by individuals both inside and outside the Church."

SilenceThe Silence were first mentioned during Series 5 of the revived Doctor Who by Prisoner Zero and again by Rosanna but were not seen until the first two episodes of Series 6. The Silence appear as tall humanoids with bulbous heads, a mouthless bony face with eyes sunken in their sockets and the skin of their cheeks stretches to the points of their narrow cheek bones. They have large hands with 3 fingers and speak in a low, guttural voice. Though they have no mouths, a hole where you would expect a mouth to appear while absorbing and discharging energy when killing someone.
An individual member of the race is called a Silent, and were seen wearing black business suits during their on screen appearance in Series 6. The Silence are difficult aliens to beat, as you forget you have ever seen them the moment you turn your eyes off them. This gives them the advantage of sitting in the subconscious to play with humans, and is thought to have inspired Edvard Munchs The Scream painting. It is also believed that the Silence got humans to travel to the Moon in 1969 as they required a spacesuit being developed. Although the Silence were able to wipe themselves from memory, they were forced to abandon Earth (where they had lived for many centuries) when the Doctor, with the help of Canton, sent a broadcast from a Silent saying that humans should kill us all on sight which results in the humans turning on members of the Silence every time they see them.
The Silence were also responsible for the TARDIS exploding on June 26th, 2010 and thus creating the cracks in time that erased things from the universe, including the universe itself at the end.

ABOUT METROPOLITAN KLEZMER:Hailed as "one of America's finest klezmer bands" by Songlines Magazine (UK), METROPOLITAN KLEZMER performs an exhilarating range of musical treasure with astonishing agility and refreshing depth. Formed in 1994, this collaborative adventure of exceptional New York musicians combines the best of downtown, classical and World Music scenes to create inspired neo-traditional interpretations and compositions around a panoply of eclectic Yiddish repertoire: ethereal trance, rollicking dance, imaginatively-arranged Yiddish swing and tango, plus genre-expanding originals such as klezmer cumbia.
Metropolitan Klezmer bandmates bring together stylistic backgrounds from Latin jazz to funk and folk, zydeco and reggae to baroque, complete with panoramic instrumental array and multi-lingual vocals. Led by drummer-archivist Eve Sicular, the ensemble has toured from coast to coast, and has released four award-winning CDs exploring unexpected musical angles which transform familiar favorites from the inside out.
Time Out New York extols the group: "Metropolitan Klezmer takes a scholarly approach to the genre's history, yet never skimps on the exuberance at its core." The band's music has been heard in soundtracks and soundscapes from HBO's SCHMATTA: Rags to Riches to Rags to London's Covent Garden (Royal Ballet) to New York Theatre Workshop, plus broadcasts worldwide. Their upcoming fifth CD "Mazel Means Good Luck," recorded live in concert earlier this year, is to be released in time for the band's 20th anniversary.

So Portland does a MUCH better job than New York City of providing bike parking. This is my understanding, at least, from folks who live in New York City and marvel at the ease with which we Portlanders lock up any old place, relatively unconcerned (compared to New Yorkers) about theft.
But the very fact Portland does such a damn decent job somehow makes the outrage all-the-more palpable when you can't find parking, right? It's for this reason I support the civic-improvement efforts well-known video maker/bike guy Casey Neistat displays below.
Yes, NYC heavies made Neistat remove the rack, but that's NYC. The scenario I envision in Portland plays out thusly:
-You surreptitiously install a bike rack.
-The City doesn't realize or doesn't care OR
-The City realizes and cares and asks you to remove the rack, but you jujitsu the whole scenario, framing the city as bike-hating monsters in various press releases and blog posts.
-The City relents.
-You're greeted as a hero and liberator.
Someone prove me right. I'm too busy to try it.

Hexagram by Duncan Bradshaw: Their lands plagued by invaders, the Inca resort to an ancient ritual. By harvesting star dust from people, they hope to accumulate enough to raise the sun god, Inti, and reclaim their lands.
Yet when the collection is interrupted, it sets in motion events which will rattle human history.
Six stories. Six different time periods. One outcome.
We are all made of stars.
When an ancient Inca ritual is interrupted, it sets in motion a series of events that will echo through five hundred years of human history. Many seek to use the arcane knowledge for their own ends, from a survivor of a shipwreck, through to a suicide cult.
Yet...the most unlikeliest of them all will succeed.
Not Just A Book
By Duncan Bradshaw, author of Hexagram
First up, this is not a post about which format is better than another. Personally, you cannot beat a Kindle for when you go away on holiday, saves so much space, which is then used by my wife for the extra clothing she takes, to cover all bases.
But…I will say, that when I am putting my books together, there is something really cool about creating the files for the physical copies. For that, I have to rewind around thirty years, to when I was a littler version of myself, and absolutely besotted with Roald Dahl. Not only were his books the perfect fodder for me, irreverent, gross, completely OTT and silly, but they also had kickass illustrations inside. Quentin Blake's work not only complimented the words so well, but they set the tone for what was inside, just by looking at the covers.
Now, the last thing I want to do when I'm putting together a book, is copy what they did, it's just not possible, plus, it worked well as a kids book, not for adults. Particularly within genre fiction, it would look out of place. It's not to say that you can't do something though.
I played it pretty safe with my debut, 'Class Three', a few different fonts, some black and white zombie pictures, nothing too much. When I got to the first book in the Class Four trilogy, 'Those Who Survive' though, I wanted to up the ante a bit.
There are a couple of parts in there, which lended themselves perfectly to having something a little extra done for them. The main one, is the Trevor Norman's Penny Gaff section. When our protagonists are 'treated' to a show, each travesty of nature has its own poster, turning them into a focal point, and giving them a bigger presence.
Another part of the narrative focused on survivors relaying their tales to others in a support group. These were singular stories, and again, provided the opportunity to give the reader something cool to find, and breaks up the wall of words. There were some other design choices made too, which I feel, added to the story. So much so, that when I created the book, I released it the same size as a graphic novel. It's those little touches that most people won't even be aware of, having opted for the digital version.
When I released my first bizarro novella, 'Celebrity Culture', a poke at the obsession with vapid people, there are forty three made up diseases. To highlight the extent to which brands invade our lives, each of these diseases have their own font. So, diseases released by the same person will have their own brand and image.
Again, is it needed? No, not at all, but for me, I love these little touches. Writing is fun, reading is fun, I want people who pick up one of my books, to go through it and have a little smile on their face when they do so.
Hexagram though is probably my most serious book, so these touches I wanted to keep at a minimum. There were a number of things I wanted to do though. When I sent the brief to Mike McGee for the cover, I wanted each point of the Hexagram to be each of the main characters. Not just that, but by each, there would be an image, which is part of the story, which makes up the point of the star. For example, Pastor Jim Gimbal gets a drug loaded syringe:
These also adorn each chapter cover, which has a quote, date, location and countdown to the end of the world. Plus, you'll see that each story has a different font used for the chapter numbers. I just think this helps to frame the story, add a little extra detail in there, it's not required, but I think it just helps to make a product which stands out as something different.
At the end of the Gimbaltown segment, there is a transcript, an 'after-action' report if you will. Given the subject matter, I looked up the Waco reports, and in particular the transcripts of the tapes of David Koresh. At the front of each, a disclaimer was printed, which I thought would be cool to use, just to add a dash of authenticity to the words:
So when you get to the end of that story, you feel like you're rooting through history, which ultimately is what Hexagram is trying to convey. The final thing was that there is a wraparound story, which I use to bookend the entire narrative with. I wanted something that would just give you a final impression, before you closed the book and put it away on a shelf.
There's a guy called Neil Baker, who runs April Moon Books, a small press in Canada. He published a novella by Rich Hawkins, called 'Black Star, Black Sun', within it, are a number of creepy black and white illustrations. Similar to the cover, I had an idea in mind, and contacted him to see if he would be up for doing something. I received it about a month or so after the last edits were done, and the proof copy has just been ordered, a blank space reserved for his work.
This is what he sent in, and to me, it captured perfectly what I was after. A father and daughter, standing in the heavens, watching a star burst, marvelling in the creation of the universe. It takes up the whole page, in a 5x7 book, chosen instead of the industry standard as it is was the closest I could get to being the same size as a King James' bible. I believe that every aspect of the physical product should be considered, and if something can be done to help it fit with what you have written, do it.
Duncan P. Bradshaw lives in the county of Wiltshire, nestled around the belly button of southern England, with his wife Debbie, and their two cats, Rafa and Pepe. During the day, he is a mild mannered office goon, doing things which would bore you, if he was forced to tell you. At night, he becomes one with a keyboard, and transforms his weird and wonderful thoughts into words, which people, like you, and me, can read.

Transient Mechanization
I've been thinking about an idea for a project for a long time now. I'm very interested in turning the obvious into the, no so. People and nature and their relationships intrigue me greatly. There are functionalities in body and nature that mirror each other, show us that we are all connected. Mathematics helps to describe the actions of the world. Movement and texture, as well biological processes are part of all of our existence. Including the thought process, which is often neglected in the natural world as we don't often witness the conversation. We see static images, but rarely take the time to sit down and talk to a tree. Distorting the line of, what is, allows for a fresh approach. Without representation you must interpret and project your interpretation of life.
It is my goal to reduce to the whole. Interrelate the parts to a degree that the image becomes an expression. I plan to shoot macro image shots of the human body. I'm looking for kinematic structures. The gears behind the machine, both external and internal. The landscape ridges that form in the bend of a wrist and energy radiants escaping and reciprocating. I will take these shots and begin to overlay cgi imagery, designed by a friend. These images will form from an equation relating to condensing singularity, holographic light reflection of one. I will also be incorporating other natural imagery, plant and biological life as the notions strikes. There may also be a call to revisit photographing the original model based on the cgi interpretation of the first shots. I will likely print these in large scale further distorting the value of the perception of, what is.
edit* During the second round of cgi work my friend is going to input certain data from the actual models. In this way a cgi form can be generated, both from the actual corporeal model, and an interpretive algorithmic model. After this cgi model is created there are several possibilities for exploration. I would like to have another session with the models where I project the wire-frame and shade cgi images onto the models and then photograph those. The cgi models can also be texturized with different images and mapped onto the surface. These models can then be used in a later project where we intend to do live interactive projections on the models in white body suits. The models would be the projected moving canvas becoming something completely different, depending on actions and different inputs.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)- Zach Randolph scored 25 points and grabbed 16 rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Utah Jazz 99-86 on Saturday night to halt a 3-game losing streak.
The win was Memphis' first in Salt Lake City since an overtime victory on Jan. 24, 2007, as the Grizzlies had dropped nine straight in Utah until Saturday.
The Grizzlies outscored Utah 28-10 in the third quarter to turn a 10-point halftime deficit into a 72-64 lead entering the fourth. The Jazz shot just 15% (3 of 20) in the quarter after shooting 56.4% at halftime.
Al Jefferson led Utah with 21 points. Paul Millsap added 12 and Gordon Hayward 11 for the Jazz (13-12), who have lost two straight.
Memphis held a 48-35 advantage on the boards, including an 18-7 edge on the offensive end.
Marc Gasol added 16 points for Memphis (15-6), including nine in the decisive third.

Here's a driving report with the Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder. Enjoy the read! Cool gallery as well.
On a track, though, you're more likely to hear that sport exhaust before you see it. On the car's first lap around Barber, everyone's attention was focused on seeing what car was lapping. At speed, the Porsche's pipes open up and the sound changes from refined sports car to snarling Germanic wail. Tim Cupp, Porsche's product manager for sports cars, says the sport exhaust is available on other Boxsters, but only raises the volume. On the RS 60, it helps the car take advantage of a re-worked engine management system, which adds eight horsepower.

Beautiful! Love the slideshow and your hygrometer. It is so much prettier than my digital!I decided that crottin is to be my next cheese make and I am going to use Yoav's recipe. Thanks for all the photos, I'm ready now!Christine
Very nice! Good photos too!
loved your slide show, and great ideal to use those frosting containers, I was going to ask were you got the interesting molds from when i watched your slide show. I too have just made my first crottin from my own nubian goats. The mold is growing very slowly. Can't wait to try them when they are close to being ready.
Looks very good. I also enjoyed your slide show. Very nice moulds too, perfect size for crottins.

I've been fermenting food recently. There's nothing like some old vegetables to compliment a meal. It's true. I currently have lacto-fermented salsa and kimchi in jars in front of the radiator in the living room. Our kitchen is too cold to encourage the fermentation process. Actually, we really don't need a refrigerator. We can keep our veggies cold by storing them in the cupboard. I'm also growing an experiment in gluten-free sourdough bread in front of the radiator.
The other day my husband walked into the living room and said, "It smells like a barnyard in here." He was probably thinking that I was trying to make kefir again, but I haven't tried that since the last kefir debacle.
Anyway, when my family starts complaining about the barn-like odor I know it's time to put the ferments in the frig. My salsa and kimchi joined my raw sauerkraut in the refrigerator this morning. Of all the fermented vegetable sauerkraut is my least favorite. What were they Germans thinking? Didn't they have any other seasoning besides salt?
I proofed my sourdough last night. I started a loaf rising this morning and now it's in the oven. I have no idea what it'll be like. As I write this I'm realizing that I don't even know what time I put it in the oven.
My husband who happily eats my fermented foods is always ready to make fun of the process of making them. Here's his recipe for sourdough bread.
First put some dough in a jar and let it sit for three days.
Next put the dough in a glass bowl and let it sit overnight.
Then put he dough in a loaf pan and let it sit for a few hours.
Finally bake it.
It isn't rocket science, but it is a little more complicated than that. As one of sourdough websites I read said, "If this sounds brain-dead simple, that's because it is. People who didn't believe the Earth was round did this for millenia." They may of not realized the Earth was round, but they sure made some good bread. I wonder how good they were at figuring out whether to push or pull a door open. Probably better than me.
In Case Your Wondering:
You may be wondering, "Hey, what's up with all the fermenting going on in your house?" You may find it frightening. You may even be thinking, "Remind me never to eat at Lovelyn's house."
The good bacteria found in fermented foods promotes gut health. Fermented foods have been part of many traditional diets for years. Find out more about the health benefits of fermented foods.

Got a fun little email from the ASPCA today pushing a new bill that would negatively effect exotics in Ohio. Just figured I'd go ahead and share.
And apparently none of their fancy graphics are going to pop up on here but you get the idea.
Prevent Tragedies
Like Zanesville
Urge Your State Senator to Pass S.B. 310!
Dear Ohio Animal Advocates,
Ohio is one of only a handful of states with virtually no regulations on wild/exotic animal pet ownership. Even before last year's horrific incident in Zanesville, this oversight has led to tragedy for both people and animals: The Associated Press found that along with having some of the nation's weakest restrictions on exotic pets, Ohio has among the highest number of injuries and deaths caused by them. This is partially due to the fact that the state has become a haven for breeders and dealers of these animals.
It's time to stop the insanity! The ASPCA supports Senate Bill 310, which is currently pending in your state legislature in Columbus. If passed, it would prohibit keeping many wild, dangerous and exotic species of animals as pets (effective 2014). The full Ohio Senate may vote on the bill as soon as this Wednesday, April 25!
What You Can Do
Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center online to quickly email your state senator and ask him or her to support S.B. 310 to ban keeping wild animals as pets. Your senator will likely vote on the bill this week, so there's no time to lose.
Thank you for defending wild and exotic animals, Ohio!

A slim and simple nodejs framework.
The idea of Slimple is to make it easy for you to write service oriented nodejs web applications.
It is abandonning too much fancy shmancy modules and tries as much as possible to be pure JS.
At the first look, it might not be as simple as express for instance.
But it provides you a coherent environment for writing apps.
Its core focus lies on a service oriented architecture and MongoDB support.
Everything you create will be loaded automatically to the Slimple application context (if you follow the convention).
$ npm install slimple
As it doesn't come with convenient building tools, following step has to be done manually to get your first Slimple app running:
copy the content of https://github.com/0x1d/slimple/tree/master/skeleton to your project root folder
Change the path in the file config/app.js
If you want to add mongoose support to your project, perform following steps:
$ npm install mongoose
Caution: at the moment, only mongoose 3.5.8 is supported
You don't have to worry about the apps.js at the moment.
If you're familiar with JS you know what you can do with it.
$ node app
By installing the skeleton app, you already get some examples of how to write services, mongoose schemas and events.
Just have a look at the corresponding folders, you will see that it is really easy.
By default, the services are located in the /services folder.
By adding subfolders, you create the path to your REST service:
$ mkdir /services/test
Now create a file (the name doesn't matter) and add the basic service structure:
module.exports = { resource: '/echo(/:what)', GET: function(ctx, http){ http.reply(http.data.what); }};
This service will be available through this URL:
You can nest folders as much as you like, but keep in mind that each folder will be added to the resource path.
You also create other methods like POST, DELETE or PUT.
As you can see, the service method(s) need following parameters:
http.reply is a convenient method to send back data to the client. It will be stringified automatically if it is a JSON object.
The resource defined here is a URL pattern which will be resolved by WayJS.
For further informations about what URL patterns are possible, have a look at the WayJS documentation.
Note on POST services: http.data has to be parsed in the service at the moment: for example
Later, there will be support for content/accept types.
If you like to return some http errors, just throw an error object in your service:
throw { status: 500, message : new Error("that sucks").stack};
Accessing session attributes within a service is quite simple:
var sessionId = http.session.uid();var attribute = http.session.get('attribute');http.session.set('attribute', attribute);
Because Slimple uses the mongoose module, you can take a look at the mongoose documentation about what is possible.
To use mongoose schemas in Slimple, you can simply place your schema below the /schemas folder.
module.exports = { name: 'BlogPost', schema: { author : { type: "String", required: true}, title : { type: "String", required: true}, body : { type: "String", required: true}, date : { type: "Date", default: new Date() } }};
It's quite easy to use this schema in a service now:
var model = ctx.db.model('BlogPost);
You don't have to worry about creating the schema and connecting to the database, Slimple will do that for you.
Similar thing for server side events.
Just put your event code below the /events folder.
module.exports = { name: 'echoEvent', invoke: function(ctx, data){ ctx.log.trace(data); }};
And fire the event (for example) in your service:
ctx.event.emit("echoEvent", "hello event");
Convenient logging stuff is possible with
Documentation on this topic will follow soon.

Your home network is a computer network you have in your home. True, but not very helpful? Let's look a little deeper.
Most people know by now that in order for one computer to share information with another, it's necessary to connect them together in some way. Those connections and the computers that are part of them form a network. Just like a spider web, when the trapped fly tugs on one part, a signal is sent to the spider at the other end.
In the case of a home network, the web is made up of either cables or wireless signals. Those two basic options make up the difference between what is called a cabled or wired network versus a wireless network. As recently as five years ago, a lifetime in the computer world, the wireless option was complicated and expensive. Today, wireless home networks are often less expensive and easier to create.
At different points along the web there are junctions called nodes. Those nodes can be in the form of computers, switches or routers.
Switches provide a place to plug the cables in that allow a physical connection between communicating computers. Routers perform a similar purpose but with more functions, such as the ability to connect multiple networks together and (as the name suggests) route traffic intelligently between them. In many cases, computers themselves can perform those functions. Software within the system can use the network cards in each computer, with a simple switch in between, to allow communication between them. Though routers have become commonplace, that's still possible and if your needs are fairly simple it can be the cheapest, easiest way to create a home network.
But computers, switches and routers aren't the only possible components of a home network. Familiar devices that go under the general name of peripherals are often part of the home web.
One of the reasons for undertaking the expense and effort of creating a network is often to share folders, printer, fax or scanner among multiple computers. If you splurged for a color laser printer or a fax machine at home, you save money by only needing to purchase one device each, instead of multiple printers and faxes for each computer. A home network allows sharing those devices. As part of the basic home network system, you'll often want to include software and/or hardware known as a firewall. A firewall allows for passing some information sent by trusted sources, but blocks other types of data, or unfriendly malware, viruses, etc that are sent from any other source.
With wireless networks or any home network connected to the Internet, they are a must. Fortunately, routers typically contain some inherent firewall functions. Even software within the OS today can usually perform that function. Putting all these different pieces together in a coherent way that allows you to send and receive files, share printers and more is the process of creating a home network.
Of course, doing it in a way that doesn't get you tangled up in a sticky web requires a bit of homework.
Probably by the year 2015 all of your appliances in the kitchen along with every entertainment device you have in the house will be connected to the internet.
