So Gibson sued ESP for making the Explorer.
But what I want to know is...
People always talk about that ESP is not allowed to build them in America anymore.
But what about Europe?
I live in Europe but you can't get them here either. The only chance is Japan it seems.
Buying one used over here is hell. People ask way too much for their guitars. A couple of times a year an EXP-200 surfaces here and they always ask around fucking €800 for them! That's around $1100 I believe. I ain't gonna pay that much for the lowest end model in the series. :x
They don't make the EXP shape as a production line at all, anymore, anywhere. You can order the shape from the custom shop anywhere but the US.

Slower Internet is about more than speed. The Consortium for Slower Internet pursues projects that promote the following principles.
There is no inherent concern with information that is transmitted and distributed with great speed, but Slower Internet suggests that information be consumed at a more contemplative pace. If information is to be a central part of our lives, Slower Internet is interested in finding ways to live with it on more human time scales; news, facts, updates, etc should be absorbed slowly and given time for consideration. Systems that emphasize duration are central to a Slower Internet.
The information delivered by Fast Internet is the white bread of data: predictable, lifeless, sanitized for mass appeal. Slow Internet delivers content in unexpected formats and spaces. The practice of defamiliarization encourages users to scrutinize their role and participation in a given system. Seamless experiences are suspect.
Fast Internet dazzles with maximum features at minimum price, but it often does so at the expense of user autonomy. Increasingly, users are encouraged to sacrifice their rights to own material they produce with a given system when services are rendered free of charge. Slower Internet respects user autonomy by giving creators control and ownership over their data. Charging reasonable fees for a service is always preferable to spying on customers and appropriating their data to serve advertisements.
Computers have long been universal machines, able to perform any calculation regardless of content. A Slower Internet, however, requires that dissimilar tasks occur in a diversity of spaces on a multitude of devices. Living with information does not mean that we have to give any type of machine a monopoly over our attention. Slower Internet is a process of cultivating a garden of machines that fit localized, individual desires.

Inexpensive, mass-produced genes core of synthetic biology advances at UH
We ran a similar gene synthesis story earlier; progress in this area is made in the UK, too. It'll open tons of research avenue, speeding the slow (and tedious) process of gene cloning, or gene modification (mutations, deletions, etc).
Devices the size of a pager now have greater capabilities than computers that once occupied an entire room. Similar advances are being made in the emerging field of synthetic biology at the University of Houston, now allowing researchers to inexpensively program the chemical synthesis of entire genes on a single microchip.
Xiaolian Gao, a professor in the department of biology and biochemistry at UH, works at the leading edge of this field. Her recent findings on how to mass produce multiple genes on a single chip are described in a paper titled "Accurate multiplex gene synthesis from programmable DNA microchips," appearing in the current issue of Nature, the weekly scientific journal for biological and physical sciences research.
"Synthetic genes are like a box of Lego building blocks," Gao said. "Their organization is very complex, even in simple organisms. By making programmed synthesis of genes economical, we can provide more efficient tools to aid the efforts of researchers to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate biological systems. There are many potential biochemical and biomedical applications."
Most immediately, examples include understanding the regulation of gene function. Down the road, these efforts will improve health care, medicine and the environment at a fundamental level.
Using current methods, programmed synthesis of a typical gene costs thousands of dollars. Thus, the prospect of creating the most primitive of living organisms, which requires synthesis of several thousand genes, would be prohibitive, costing millions of dollars and years of time. The system developed by Gao and her partners employs digital technology similar to that used in making computer chips and thereby reduces cost and time factors drastically. Gao's group estimates that the new technology will be about one hundred times more cost- and time-efficient than current technologies.
With this discovery, Gao and her colleagues have developed a technology with the potential to make complete functioning organisms that can produce energy, neutralize toxins and make drugs and artificial genes that could eventually be used in gene therapy procedures. Gene therapy is a promising approach to the treatment of genetic disorders, debilitating neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and endocrine disorders such as diabetes. This technology may therefore yield profound benefits for human health and quality of life.
"The technology developed by Dr. Gao and her collaborators has the potential to make research that many of us could only dream about both plausible and cost effective," said Stuart Dryer, chair of the department of biology and biochemistry at UH. "In my own research on neurological diseases, we've often wished we could rapidly synthesize many variations of large naturally occurring genes. The costs of current technology have prevented us from doing this, but Dr. Gao's research will break down that barrier."
This technology offers tremendous potential benefits, as synthetic genes could allow for development and production of safer, less toxic proteins that are currently used in disease treatment. It also could allow for production of large molecules that do not occur naturally, but that are needed for new generations of vaccines and therapeutic agents, including vaccines for HIV and other viral diseases. This technology also will facilitate development of new medications through the creation of humanized yet synthetic antibodies that could be especially useful in detection and treatment of infectious organisms that could be used by terrorists.

Food allergy treatment update… and a thank youPosted on April 21st, 2009 by Alison Read 1 Comment - Add Your Own »
I would like to send out a big THANK YOU to the brave and patient families who have volunteered for the food allergy studies that are currently underway. I truly believe that their devotion will result in a treatment that will allow my daughter to be free of her severe food allergies someday. I wish you success!
There are currently three types of food allergy studies being conducted under doctor supervision (don't try these at home!):
- Oral immunotherapy: Patients build immunity to food allergen by swallowing gradually increasing amounts of the foods.
- Sublingual therapy: Patients build immunity by putting drops of allergenic proteins under the tongue (this allows for faster absorption into bloodstream).
- Food allergy herbal formula-2: "FAHF-2" is a pill that contains nine botanical herbs, including ginseng and oil made from cinnamon tree bark. I wrote about this one: Could Chinese herbs be used to treat asthma and food allergy?
To learn more about these studies and also about the sacrifices that some families have made to be a part of the studies, read USA Today's story: New strategies may help overcome food allergies.

Adams: Taoiseach needs to forget loyalty to Shatter
29/03/2014 - 13:17:48Back to Ireland Home
The Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has said the reform of the Gardaí cannot take place under the Justice Minister Alan Shatter.
Mr Adams says he intends to support the upcoming motion of no-confidence in Alan Shatter which Fianna Fáil will table on Wednesday,
He says Minister Shatter has been at the centre of a string of scandals involving the Gardaí and the justice system.
Deputy Adams says the Taoiseach Enda Kenny needs to put loyalty to Minister Shatter aside, and do what is best for the country.

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Big Klu (09-19-2013)
Now, he did hit it to SS and 3B another 21% (combined).
But spraying the ball to left field isn't something he was exactly good at. He had 1 double and 1 triple to left field, from the left side, all year in AAA.
RedEye (09-19-2013)
jhu1321 (09-19-2013)
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Best thing about his game last night was the eye he displayed. One walk was an easy 4 pitch walk. The other one he took some fairly close pitches. If he is selective like that it will help his OBP tremendously and take some pressure off him, as his OBP won't be so dependent on getting hits.
I believe the difference between Hamilton being a star and a side show is going to be his ability to work the count and take walks.
AmarilloRed (09-19-2013),Homer's Ghost (09-19-2013)
The Baseball America article said that he is faster than Henderson at his prime. I wish the article had recorded Vince Coleman's speed-I think that is a good comp.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Old school 1983 (09-19-2013)
Fact is, he is an improving contact guy who will support a high BABIP (.356 career minor league BABIP). There's no reason to think he'll only be a .300 OBP guy at the MLB level IMHO.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
joshua (09-19-2013),Old school 1983 (09-19-2013),REDREAD (09-19-2013)
I wonder how good a comp Hamilton is to Vince Coleman. Coleman had a career OBP of .324. He stole over 100 bases with a .301 OBP in 1986. Ridiculous. Could Hamilton put up similar numbers?

Volume 1 No. 37
Page 3 Col. 5b
I DO hereby forewarn all persons from trading for two notes of hand,
both payable to Joshua Holden, and signed by myself, and dated the sixth
day of August 1827. One of said notes was due the 25th of December 1827
for one hundred yards of home spun. The other is due the 25th of December
1828, for one hundred and fifty yards of homespun; I am determined not to pay
them, unless compelled by law, as the consideration for which they were given
has failed.

Looking for uses for coffee filters, besides their original purpose? I have found many uses for coffee filters, but my favorite use for them is to put them in the bottom of plant pots before you pot the plants. When you water the plant, the dirt stays in the pot and just the excess water flows out. But don't stop there, there are more uses for coffee filters! Coffee filters are great servers for tacos, hot dogs, popcorn and other snacks. They are great for cleaning mirrors and windows, They don't leave a speck of lint and you can dry them and use them over again. Apply shoe polish with a coffee filter. Pour a small amount of liquid fabric softener into the center of a flattened coffee filter. Rub it in. Toss the filter into the dryer and you have an inexpensive fabric softener dryer sheet. I could go on forever about uses for coffee filters… Somebody stop me!

The Rockets will face the Trail Blazers tonight, aware that it is Feb. 8 and not March 8 or April 8. The Rockets, however, could not help but see the game as vital in the pursuit of Western Conference playoff spots.
They could be right. They also could be falling back on the strategy that worked so well in Utah, when they also checked out the standings and considered the game key to their playoff goal, coming away with a 45-point blowout. Either way, the Rockets knew just where they and the Blazers stood in the standings – with the Rockets in eighth, just one game ahead of Portland – and that the Blazers could clinch a head-to-head tie-breaker with a win.
"Absolutely, we know they're one game behind us," guard Jeremy Lin said. "We could really distance ourselves. This one kind of counts as two because it gives us a win and them a loss, or vice versa. We understand that and on top of that, we know we dropped two overtime games to them earlier in the season.
"We're in too tight of a playoff race right now to drop any more games."
The more immediate, familiar concerns – shoring up the defense and taking care of the ball – naturally dominated conversation, but coaches made sure Rockets players knew they would be the team playing the team giving chase.
"I know who is in front of us; I know who is behind us. The coaching staff mentioned that Portland is one game behind us right now so these games we play them are pretty crucial for the standings. We definitely don't want them to get ahead of us. Plus, we owe them a good game against them since we let two slip away and lost in overtime. So, tonight is going to be a huge game for us."
The Rockets led by 12 in the first meeting at Toyota Center and by 16 in the second game in the Rose Garden. They return to Portland April 5. The Rockets would need to win both games to tie Portland in the head-to-head tie-breaker, but have a long way to go to take the next tie-breaker, conference record. The Rockets are 10-18 against Western Conference teams. Portland is 16-14; Utah 15-17.
"It's a game we need to win," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "It's a game we need to come out and play well. I thought the Miami game we did a lot of good stuff to put ourselves in position to try to win the game. We didn't. We lost two tight games to this team this year. They're right on our heels for a playoff spot. It's an important game that we come out and play the way we need to play and get after it."
McHale said he would start looking at the standings more after the All-Star break. His players did not wait.
"Of course we are," James Harden said. "They're right behind us. This is a playoff game for us, especially they beat us twice, both overtime games. It's going to be a good game, a good challenge."

It was a typical morning along the Waters Avenue corridor Wednesday.
Hezekiah Hudson, 71, was instructing students at his barber school, the Savannah Barber Styling Institute at 35th Street, where he has taught for 21 years.
A couple blocks south, Jerome Letbetter, owner of Grandma's Diner, cooked up some lunch at the restaurant he has owned about seven months.
Farther down, Lonzell Parmley used a weed whacker to trim the front yard of his house on 41st Street, before taking a break to sit in the shade.
A lone teen stood on a street corner.
But there were some small differences.
The benches across the street from Rosette's Lounge, where men commonly congregate, oftentimes with a brown-bagged beer in hand, had been removed as the city renovates the parking lot of the shopping center there. The city is trying to make the shopping center more marketable after abandoning a plan to renovate the building it purchased for $1.6 million in 2009 and locate a police precinct and city offices there.
The city awarded a $1.4 million contract about a year ago to Pioneer Construction to renovate the shopping center and parking lot. This year, the City Council abandoned the plan and chose to sell the building instead. The scope of the contract with Pioneer was reduced to improving the parking lot for about $326,000, which is expected to be completed by November.
The parking lot improvements, which include landscaping, brick pavers and a Chatham Area Transit bus transfer station, is considered one aspect of a plan to beautify the Waters corridor, said city spokesman Bret Bell.
Streetscape improvements from Wheaton Street to Victory Drive — similar to the $3.7 million project completed last year along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard — are also being planned. The City Council is scheduled to consider a $249,000 design contract today for the project, which includes bricked sidewalks, new crosswalks, additional lighting and surface improvements.
The city has budgeted $1.5 million in sales tax revenue for the project, although a firm estimate of the actual cost won't be known until the design work is done, Bell said.
While disappointed the city is not moving forward with the police precinct, Hudson, who also serves as president of the Waters Avenue Business Association, said the streetscape improvements are welcome.
"Nobody wants to come to an area that is run down," Hudson said. "They will want to come to an area that is already beautified."
Area resident Parmley agreed that the project was a good thing for the neighborhood.
"It's needed," he said.
At Grandma's Diner, Letbetter, reminisced with a customer, Marvin Golden, about the many businesses that used to operate on Waters up until the late 1970s.
Golden said his grandfather used to tell him stories of a Waters he would not recognize today, when it wasn't just lined with night clubs and vacant buildings.
"The whole Waters Avenue was like Broughton Street," Golden said. "I think it was a shame it went down."
On the other hand, crime has decreased in the last decade along Waters, which used to be like the "wild, wild west," he said.
Letbetter was glad the city is planning the streetscape improvements, but said the vacant buildings and flooding along the corridor are what really needs to be addressed. He would like to see the city pressure owners to do more to maintain their properties and alleviate the flooding that occurs during heavy rains.
"People know you can't get to Grandma's Diner," he said. "You're going to get wet."
Bell said a planned $14 million Bilbo Box drainage project should mitigate the flooding problems in east Savannah, including along Waters.
The city is hoping the sale and development of the shopping center will provide an anchor for the revitalization area. A request for proposals issued Tuesday requires a minimum bid of $1.6 million, which was the city's purchase price in May 2009. In addition, 2,000 square feet must be reserved for community room space that will be built out at the city's expense. The city also has final say over what can be located within the center, in hopes that the tenants will support the overall development plans of the neighborhood. Bell said residents are hoping a grocery store will be there, but the city is not limiting itself to that option.
WHAT: Savannah City Council
WHEN: 10 a.m. workshop; 2 p.m. regular meeting

Mermaid workers strike new pay deal
The Maritime Union of Australia says Mermaid Marine workers have agreed on a new pay deal with the company.
Workers at the Dampier supply base have been taking industrial action since July in their push for better pay.
The union's Will Tracy says the agreement is a significant improvement on wages and the local living allowance.
He says the offer is in the process of being officially signed off on.
"The agreement itself has been formally agreed to by the membership which means it's been formally agreed to by the union," he said.
"We're simply going through the process that's required by Fair Work to get the agreement signed.
"We anticipate that that will happen some time in the next week or two and then that agreement will be formalised properly in terms of being registered inside Fair Work."
Mermaid has confirmed its employees voted to accept the new agreement.

There isn't only one version of poker – there are in fact several, however, the majority of them adhere to these basic rules:
The 'Pot' – all players must contribute chips towards a central 'pot' in order to play the hand. Chips are
representative of actual money.
A 'Hand' – all the players of the game are dealt cards which are called your 'hand'. These cards are concealed and are only visible to the players themselves (but not to each other).
Wagers – this is the amount of the bet made and is determined by the strength of the cards in a particular betting round.
Winning – once the betting has taken place, the player with the either the best/strongest hand or the last player left with cards in play – wins.
In any game of poker, it is imperative that the player understands both the deck of cards and the rank of hands. To download poker software, go to SilverSands Poker download.

Freedom Eroding Away
Obama ruling America by mandate must be catching.
Now we even have some states and cities starting to rule by mandate. A current example is that some coastal cities are mandating that stores cannot put customers' purchases in plastic bags. It seems too many politicians are caught up in becoming rulers in our nanny state.
This trend is eroding and destroying our freedoms, a step at a time. They are destroying our freedoms using the "how to boil a frog" system. That is, bring the water to a boil slowly and by the time the frog realizes he is being cooked, it will be too late to jump out.

I agree, totally. It's sickening to see what is happening to this once great country.

Freedom, what about my freedom to take a walk on the beach and not have it ruined by trash including plastic bags? May be I should go for a hike in the hills to see the modern day foliage – plastic bags. I can't wait for the day the state wide ban comes in.

If the owner of the msi handle was to reestablish it differently he can. But it's only returned to the system (for allocation by another msi handle) after msi_free is done.

Highland helped us turn a raw idea we had in school into a viable business that we were able to launch quickly and scale. We've been fortunate to have Highland as a partner after the summer as well and highly value the firm's advice, connections, and support.
We had a lot of resources at our disposal at both Harvard and MIT, given the composition of our founding team, but Highland stood out by providing both exceptional product insight, access to a deep relevant network, and great general advice.
We had a great time at Highland – the mentorship, speaker series and connections were top-notch.
The fact that we were able to spend time with senior partners was absolutely incredible.
A terrific opportunity to gain feedback from Highland and find the partners and team members critical to building our business.
The guidance and advice we got at Highland was fantastic. It helped us turn our grad school research into a consumer product.
Highland Capital Partners is a 29-year-old global venture capital firm with offices in Palo Alto, Boston, Geneva, London, and Shanghai. We have invested in nearly 400 companies across both consumer and enterprise technology and are often the first institutional partner for the entrepreneurs we back. Our recent investments include 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU), Aviate (acq by Yahoo!), Bit9, Bitnet, Enjoy, Gigamon (NASDAQ: GIMO), Handy, Harry's, Jaunt, Malwarebytes, Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU), Rent The Runway, Rethink Robotics, Shift Cars, SmartThings (acq. by Samsung), thredUP, VMTurbo, and WePay.
We require all teams to work full-time for a continuous period of 10 weeks between June 1st, 2017 and August 31st, 2017. All teams must reside in the office space provided free of charge by Highland in Cambridge, MA and Palo Alto, CA.
Highland will invest up to $30,000 in each selected team's company. In an effort to use a standard and straightforward structure, we provide this capital via an uncapped convertible instrument modeled after the Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) financing documents. In addition, Highland will have the option to invest up to $250k in the first $1M you raise in excess of the aforementioned note. We want to be able to support our teams beyond the summer, especially those who decide to continue down the track of building significant companies (and many do!).
First and foremost, we look for evidence of an exceptionally strong team. We like to see a standout academic/extracurricular track record, and some degree of working history with the other team members. In addition, we like to see that the team's demonstrated skills are closely aligned with the demands of the summer project.
We also seek applications that address significant pain points in large, growing markets. Ideally, the solution suggested involves software, or maybe cheap hardware. Ideally, we would like to see some traction (e.g. prototypes, user interviews, market research, etc.), but do not require any specific level of product maturity. We simply want to see that you've made some preliminary effort to validate your assumptions.
Finally, we look for plans of action that are practically achievable over the summer. That does not mean you'll build the next Google in 10 weeks, but that you can validate a few key business model or technical assumptions by the end of our program.
The application has three main parts:
We request that each team member provide basic contact info, as well as at least one personal URL (e.g. LinkedIn, personal homepage, etc.). You can also attach a resume, if that's more your style.
We require two letters of reference per team. You should pick referrers who actually know you as entrepreneurs, technologists, business people, or (ideally) all of the above. It's very important to get these in by the appropriate deadline. We will not review incomplete applications.
We ask you to describe your business in 140 characters or less and upload a two minute video on YouTube or Vimeo answering the following questions:
Videos must feature every team member. We want to see your smiling faces too, so if you do a screencast, don't make it the majority of the video. If you wish to include a supplemental screencast video, there's room for that in the application too. Finally, do not password-protect your video, as it interferes with our ability to screen them efficiently. Instead, make the URL private and non-searchable.
Most teams consist of 2-3 full-time people and a maximum of 4. Exceptions for teams with more than 4 people will be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, we generally advise against organizing a large founding team unless your company is at a slightly later stage of growth.
We require at least one full-time team member to be a current student, or to have graduated no earlier than December 2016. Temporary interns working with companies that apply to the program are not considered student team members. Preference will be given to teams with a higher ratio of students.
Yes. Several of our recent teams have done programs like Y Combinator simultaneously and found the programs to be complementary.
Yes, we have. Our portfolio companies Gemvara, Handy, and a few others started in Summer@Highland. Some alumni have raised capital from other notable angels and venture firms, as well. That's all ok with us. We think it speaks to the true flexibility you have as a participant in Summer@Highland.
Sort of. We don't call it a Demo Day because the expectation is not that you need to raise money at the end of the summer. We do, however, have a Presentation Day, where you share what you've accomplished and learned with your fellow team members and a handpicked selection of mentors and fellow entrepreneurs from the Highland network. We think this helps with accountability and community building amongst the teams.
Some teams continue on to raise venture capital and build their businesses. Others get acquired. Still others end up shutting down and going back to school or joining the workforce. We believe that by helping out students, who are just starting their careers in entrepreneurship, that the entrepreneurial community will benefit for many years to come.
Applications for Summer@Highland will be accepted beginning Thursday, December 15 at 12:00am PST. Admission to the program will be granted on a rolling basis. Submitting your application early will grant you an edge, and is highly encouraged. The first round of applications are due on Thursday, March 30 at 11:59pm PST. The final round of application are due on Tuesday, May 2 at 11:59pm PST.
We take the application review process very seriously at Highland. Each application is evaluated by at least two members of the Highland team before we decide to pass or move it forward. You will typically hear from us within two weeks of a given deadline, although that can get stretched depending on application volume. If you have a pressing need to hear from us in a quicker timeframe, please email us at email@example.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Because the Summer@Highland program is hosted at Highland locations in the U.S., all participating team members must be citizens or have the appropriate paperwork in place, independently of Highland. Highland is not in the position to assist in this process, unfortunately.

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by juanfrancisco89 on 2011-01-03 14:04:35.7580
I just registered my TonePort KB37 in my account but when I open POD FARM v2 I always get a messege that says that the license key sent to the server was not in the proper format (Code 80003020)
I even turned my anti-virus off but nothing improved. I also can't make the keyboard work. When I open Nuendo 4 and insert a virtual instrument I'm supposed to be able to play that instrument with the keyboard but instead of that, I get a red bar on the left side of the master volume (instead of the green one on the right) whenever I hit a key. Help please.
Thank you.
by ricksox on 2011-01-11 16:40:46.1350
I'm not seeing any records of you ever purchasing POD Farm 2. This is a paid upgrade for older TonePort KB37's.
You can buy it from our online store at http://line6.com/store/.
For more upgrade information please see this FAQ:
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

On Thursday, Josh Castle started a petition on Change.org after I confirmed a rumor that the Space Needle was not going to fly the Pride flag again during Seattle Pride.
In less than 24 hours more than 1,500 people signed Josh's petition thanking the Space Needle for flying the flag for the first time last year, and they asked the Space Needle to fly the flag again.
Today, the Space Needle said no to the more than 1,500 fans of the Space Needle who signed Josh's petition. They told the Stranger, "we are not flying the flag again."
I have to wonder, did the Space Needle even read some of the comment's on Josh's petition? Leif T. wrote, "Seeing the flag on our city's symbol made me feel so welcome and part of this place," Leif said. "While I'm an adult and have found my way and feel welcome already, there are thousands of young people who need to know they are welcome in this city. Please fly the rainbow flag again to remind us all that this is an inclusive place!"
A lifetime resident of Seattle, Robert W. wrote, "Having grown up in the Seattle area I have always taken pride and comfort in the city's support of the LGBT community," He explained. "In so many ways, the Space Needle is Seattle – In the 60s it looked forward to the future; it continues to do so to this day. I hope it will continue to point the way!"
The Space Needle also announced their plan not to fly the flag through a press release on their Facebook page written by Seattle Out & Proud (SO&P), a non-profit that organizes a portion of Seattle Pride events, including the parade. SO&P wrote, "Seattle Out & Proud (SO&P) is excited that we are able to connect with the Space Needle this year to bring the flag to the parade and march with it up front."
I spoke to Josh Castle, who started the petition on Change.org, and asked him what he thought of the Space Needle's plan. He said, "People won't remember that the Pride flag led the parade. People will remember that the Space Needle did not fly the flag. That is an unfortunate message to send to our community," Josh said. "The Space Needle needs to raise the flag."
While I firmly believe the Space Needle is a friend to the LGBT community, I do not believe they understand how sad their decision has made our community.
If you agree with Josh Castle, and you want to help raise the flag on the Space Needle, please continue to sign and share Josh's petition. Leave your personal stories on the Space Needle Facebook page. Politely tell them why this is important to you. Send them a tweet @Space_Needle. Tell them why this matters so much to you.
I sincerely hope the Space Needle changes their mind. I know you do too.
Please sign and share Josh's petition to ask the Space Needle to raise the Pride flag during Seattle Pride.

The buying-links-discussion all over again?
22 Aug
With the "Are paid links evil" session at the San Jose SES in sight, it seems like the buying-links-discussion has started all over again during the past few weeks. Rand and Aaron both published great articles about buying links and the discussion seams to get hot again in other places -and in other languages- as well.
Last week's SESSJ session has already been covered in a few places (thanks for that, those recaps are really useful for us home stayers), which should get this thing heated up again. I guess that, because buying links as a link building strategy still works, this discussion will remain to go on for a while. Great, I love this discussion, so there will be a lot of new blog posts about paid links during the next few weeks :)
Here's something about paid links to think about:
– If link purchases have a positive ROI for a company, they'll continue to make them. If they have a positive ROI, chances are good that they must also be serving the searcher effectively and thus, be good results for the engines. (Todd Friesen)
– Link Baiting, what Google's suggest as link building strategy, is as egregious if not worse for relevancy than paid links – viral content of such an off-topic nature should not help your rankings and is more "polluting" than relevant paid links. (Greg Boser)
– Google often uses the example of the Yahoo! Directory as a place where paid links are acceptable, because these links get an 'editorial review'. However, not only is Yahoo!'s directory filled with spammy sites, but the $299 reviewing fee is a recurring fee. What kind of editor needs an annual fee of almost 300 bucks to review a website?
– Matt Cutts states that the FTC has said that word of mouth marketing is like any other kind of marketing, and if you're being paid to say something, you should disclose this to both people and machines. Do regular ads have hidden disclosure messages for the Yellow Pages? Should I disclose that the link has been disclosed to search engines as well?
And I really love Michael Gray's theory about paid links & Google (copy/ pasted from SEOmoz):
- Both commercial and non-commercial queries exist on the web;
Commercial websites are NOT generally linked-to naturally;
Non-commercial websites are much more likely to entice natural links;
By eliminating paid links, Google will fill the top results for commercial queries with primarily non-commercial results;
Thus, when a searcher wishes to take a commercial action, the only relevant results will be the paid listings;
And, thus, searchers will be more likely to click on AdWords links, which earns Google money.
Not that I think that this theory is the truth, but it is a nice point of view.

Craig Smith's hat trick Wednesday lifted Team USA to a 4-1 victory over host Finland at the IIHF Men's World Championship in Helsinki.
Smith tied it 1-1 at 7:58 of the first period, just 2:05 after Finland took an early lead. The Nashville Predators forward broke the tie with a power play goal 3:22 into the final period and put the game away when he scored into an empty net with 42 seconds remaining.
"It feels really good," Smith said. "… I think we're getting better and better. We're excited to have a couple days off here and get ready to go for the next game."
The victory was the third in four games for the U.S., which lost 5-3 to 2012 champion Russia on Tuesday. Three contests remain in pool play — Saturday against France, Sunday against Germany and Tuesday against Slovakia.
Smith had just four goals in 44 games for the Predators during the recently completed 2012-13 season. He went 20 straight contests without one before he finally scored April 25 at Detroit, the next-to-last game.
That production was down dramatically from his rookie season (2011-12), when he had 14 goals and 22 assists in 72 appearances.
He currently is the Americans' second-leading scorer with five points and has a three-game point streak. He had one assist each in a victory over Latvia on Sunday and the loss to Russia.
Playing in the tournament for the third time in as many years, he is one point short of his career-high. He had six points (three goals, three assists) in seven games in 2011, following his final season at the University of Wisconsin. He joined the team last year after Nashville was eliminated in the second round of the NHL playoffs and had two goals in four games.
Smith is one of two Predators players on the U.S. roster this year. Bobby Butler has one goal and one assist in four the four games.

I found this powerful TED (http://www.ted.com/) talk (see below) by Ben Cameron on http://yankeediva.blogspot.com. I've heard Cameron speak in person and he is incredibly dynamic. I especially find his thoughts on the pro-am concept fascinating and thought-provoking.
The San Antonio Symphony is dipping its toe into the Pro-Am waters this season on January 30th, when we invite adult amateur musicians to play with the Symphony. This will be a free side-by-side Pro-Am performance of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy under the baton of Sebastian Lang-Lessing. This is just the first of many exciting innovations our new Music Director is bringing to San Antonio.
The Pro-Am will take place at 3 p.m. at the Majestic Theatre on Sunday, January 30, 2011. If you play an instrument you can sign up at http://www.sasymphony.org/proam. Applications are due November 19th.
I hope you can join us at the Municipal Auditorium!

The prevailing view for reducing costly impatience has emphasized the use of willpower. That is, emotions are to be tamped down in order to avoid irrational impulses for immediate gain. But as Northeastern University psychological scientist David DeSteno notes, "Emotions exist to serve adaptive purposes, so the idea that emotions would always be a hindrance to long-term success makes little sense."
In a potentially landmark study, a team of researchers from Northeastern University, the University of California, Riverside, and Harvard Kennedy School challenge the conventional view by demonstrating that feelings of gratitude automatically reduce financial impatience.
The study is forthcoming in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
Impatience was assessed using a set of decisions pitting desire for instant gratification against waiting for larger, future rewards. For example, participants chose between receiving $54 now or $80 in 30 days. To increase the stakes, participants had the chance to obtain one of the financial rewards they selected.
Before making these decisions, participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions in which they wrote about an event from their past that made them feel (a) grateful, (b) happy, or (c) neutral, depending on condition.
Although participants feeling neutral and happy showed a strong preference for immediate payouts, those feeling grateful showed more patience. For example, they required $63 immediately to forgo receiving $85 in three months, whereas neutral and happy people required only $55 to forgo the future gain.
What's more, the degree of patience exhibited was directly related to the amount of gratitude any individual felt. Positive feelings alone were not enough to enhance patience, as happy participants were just as impatient as those in the neutral condition. The influence of gratitude, possibly due to its ties to a sense of fulfillment and a need to "pay back" in the future, was quite specific.
The implications of this finding are profound.
"Showing that emotion can foster self-control and discovering a way to reduce impatience with a simple gratitude exercise opens up tremendous possibilities for reducing a wide range of societal ills from impulse buying and insufficient saving to obesity and smoking," says Assistant Professor Ye Li from the University of California, Riverside School of Business Administration.
Harvard Kennedy School Professor Jennifer Lerner underscored that economic impatience is one of the most common and troubling tendencies in human decision making.
In addition to DeSteno, Li, and Lerner, co-authors on the report include Leah Dickens of Northeastern University.

SHOCKED fans blasted Rihanna
yesterday after the singer was pictured pouring a mystery powder on her
minder's skull.
The We Found Love star was shown emptying the substance on to the bodyguard's
head while
being carried on his shoulders at a Los Angeles music festival.
Rihanna, 24, posted the snap online herself, together with a caption saying:
"Memories don't live like people."
Within minutes more than 1,000 fans had posted comments, with most suggesting
she was rolling a cannabis joint.
But others speculated that the substance was cocaine. One warned: "Yep take
coke! U gonna die."
Trubeauty8 wrote: "Chick looks like a druggie." Fan astock913 said: "I love
her music, not her lifestyle. Hope she gets this under control before we
have her funeral on TV like Whitney Houston."
A parent wrote: "I have a ten-year-old daughter who loves her, and I wouldn't
want my child seeing this."
Party-loving Rihanna was earlier
seen at the Coachella festival smoking what appeared to be a joint.
She was nine when she caught
her dad taking crack at their home in Barbados, and has recently
admitted smoking marijuana herself.

Customer Testimonials
Great group of guys that really care about the safety of your family and home!
Dan has always been totally amazing, responsive to any needs or problems, installation was painless and the system is excellent. I would not use anyone else, and it feels good to be working with a local company as well.
The best company to work with. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great security system backed up with the best customer service out there. I just can't say enough. Thanks guys for being the best sub contractors on this project.
When looking for a professional alarm installer in Spokane look no further then Solid Rock Security. Not only was my alarm system setup and installed quickly but the team were very helpful when it came to showing me how to use and arm my new alarm system.
Dan the owner is also an outstanding installer with years of field experience so he knows both sides of the business. He wired my house and you couldn't even tell he had been there when he was done! He also wired up my office and did a fantastic job.
Mark Trail is a rep that I have worked with for years before he made the move to Dan's Solid Rock Security business this year. Great guy, honest as you can get and super knowledgeable.
