I have a fond spot for the Bentley Motor Car marque and often stumble across Bentleys that I find interesting. My plan is to post pictures and comments of Bentley cars that I observe both on the Interweb, and in real life.
Historically the Bentley has been the sporting man's Rolls-Royce, so when I am not feeling sporting I may post about Rolls-Royce cars.
Fellow RR&B enthusiasts David Irvine and Andy are also helping out posting articles. Thanks guys.
Email email@example.com with tips, pictures and links that may be of interest, or just to say g'day.

Mother's Day Proclamation
Arise then…women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
Nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
At the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace…
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God –
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And the earliest period consistent with its objects,
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace. ~ Julia Ward Howe, written in 1870

We are here for you online 24/7!
Live customer service hours are Monday – Friday 8AM – 5PM Central Time
Custom yard signs are a great way to advertise your brewery. Get signs with your brewery's name and logo to use for any event you are a part of. Advertise new products, seasonal brews, and merchandise you have available. If you do brewery tours or have a tap room at your brewery, custom yard signs are a great way to let people know what times you are open and when tours are given. Custom signs are also perfect for brew festivals and tasting events. Breweries can use signs to let everyone know who they are and what they're serving, and festival organizers can use yard signs to promote their festival and direct visitors to various locations around the festival grounds.
Our yard signs are printed on 4 mm corrugated plastic making them durable, lightweight, and waterproof. They can be printed single or double sided and come in 17 different sizes. Whatever signage your brewery or brew fest needs, Signline.com has you covered!
Ordering Custom Yard Signs Online is Easy:
Choose the size you want for your product
Choose the options you want for your product
Click on a template to customize your product
The signs are digitally printed in full color on a 4 mm white corrugated plastic material. The plastic signs are lightweight and waterproof. The material has hollow flutes similar to cardboard. We can print single sided signs or double sided signs. The material can withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures and lasts up to two years outdoors.
The corrugated plastic material is commonly referred to as "yard signs" or "lawn signs" and is used outdoors for short term advertising.
Click here to request a sample packet of materials
We can print corrugated plastic signs up to 4 feet by 8 feet. The hollow flutes run on the 8 foot horizontal side. Some of the most common sign sizes are 12" x 18" signs, 18" x 24" signs, 24" x 36" signs, 32" x 48" signs and 48" x 96" signs.
Create Your Product
There are three easy ways to order your corrugated plastic signs online. You can pick one of our sign templates to customize in the online designer, upload your own file or have a graphic designer create your artwork.
If you select a template or upload a file you will be taken into the online designer to customize your product. In the online designer you will be able to add a background image, upload clip art images and add text. You can also upload your own logos, pictures or other images. If you select the let us design option a pop up window will appear where you can upload any logos or images and provide instructions for a graphic designer.
During the checkout process you can choose to have your artwork go straight into production after payment is received or have an artwork proof emailed to you. The proof will include a low resolution image of your artwork, a summary of your order, pricing information and your billing and shipping information. If you select an additional proof you will have to email the customer service representative back with approval before your order will go into production.
The standard finishing option for corrugated plastic signs is a square cut with a half inch white border on all sides.
*Please note, all coroplast yard signs will be cut 1/8th of an inch on each side to allow for finishing. (ex. a 18" x 24" yard sign will actually ship out to you as a 17.75" x 23.75" yard sign.) If your yard sign needs to be precise, please reach out to one of our customer service reps to discuss your specific application.*
We provide flexible production time ranges for you to choose from. Because it's important for you to have ultimate control over your order, our production times range from one to five business days. This allows you to make the final decision on when you need your order.
Timelines can be tight. That's why we offer this zippy one day turnaround option.
Have an extra day, but still need your products quickly? The express option is ideal for you!
This is our most popular fast turnaround option. Free and speedy enough for almost any custom order.
If you're not in a rush, then you can save some money by choosing our 5 Day Saver option.
Contact Us: 320-391-5275 or [email protected]
All orders must be paid for prior to being put into production. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards. We also accept checks. Checks must be received before your order is put into production.
We will not charge your credit card until you have approved your proof for your order.
All products are printed in CMYK. If files are submitted in RGB, color shifting will take place. If a specific PMS color is needed, please let us know when you submit the order. We will do our best to meet that specified color
When submitting these files, make sure you convert all fonts to outlines or curves to ensure they print correctly and the fonts are not substituted.
Thumnail sized jpg and gif files are not a high enough resolution to be used on large prints like banners.
Vector art consists of lines and curves that are mathematically defined objects. When viewing art in key line mode you can see the points or vectors when connecting your lines and curves. They can also be seen when using the pen tool or editing the points along a path. Vector art is ideal for type and drawn shapes because they can be enlarged to any size while maintaining crisp outlines and details without sacrificing quality. The distance between the vectors is calculated mathematically and is not dependent upon resolution.
Raster images consist of colored squares, called pixels. They are created by combining a series of various colored pixels. Digital photographs are made up of pixels. If you view a raster image at 200% or more you are able to see the individual pixels that make up the image. Raster images are dependent upon resolution so image enlargement is limited by the individual size at which the file was created. If a file is produced at a size that is larger than its resolution will allow, the quality will decrease. Printing a low resolution file will result in pixelation. Individual pixels are large enough to be easily discernable. Increasing the resolution will not solve this problem is there are not enough pixels to begin with. The program will add more pixels based upon the estimation of their location and will then assign their neighboring pixels's color value. This may cause an image to look muddy.
If submitting these files, please follow the guidelines below:
If you are not able to provide us with a good quality image, we do have a vectorizing/recreating service available. Most logos or images can be recreated for $35; however images with more detail are subject to quoting prior to vectorizing the image. Please contact a sales representative for more details. This service needs to be paid for in advance and we will be happy to give you a copy of the vector file once it is complete.

A bipartisan Senate plan unveiled Monday to overhaul the U.S. immigration system frames a pitched debate expected in Congress around the areas of border enforcement, a path to citizenship for those already in the country and the future flow of new arrivals.
The brief outline includes a call to expedite citizenship for young people brought here as children, and a path to citizenship for the more than 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States — the issue certain to stir the greatest political fight.
Notably, the plan nods to conservatives' preference for stricter enforcement efforts by requiring that America's borders be secured before existing illegal immigrants can seek legal status.
"We have a long way to go, but this bipartisan blueprint is a major breakthrough," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference attended by five of the eight senators who are crafting the plan.
Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, one of the signatories, pledged that the process wouldn't repeat "the mistakes of 1986," when he said an amnesty program legalized millions of immigrants but set conditions for the illegal arrivals of millions more.
The announcement came on the eve of a Tuesday speech on immigration by President Obama in Las Vegas, where the president is expected to lay out his own principles, which align with the senators' framework. Obama advisers have signaled that he could offer more details in his State of the Union address on Feb. 12.
Members of the "group of eight" senators — four Democrats and four Republicans — said they hope to complete a draft of the legislation by March and send it to the full Senate for a vote by late spring or summer.
Groups on both sides of the debate already have begun to mobilize campaigns to apply pressure on lawmakers over the coming months.
"The public is overwhelmingly on our side and on our president's side," Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, told reporters Monday in a conference call with civil rights and pro-immigrant groups in support of the plan. "We think it's important for both parties to take leadership at this incredible moment. And we don't want some piecemeal solution. Reform must include a path to citizenship."
Opponents quickly criticized the plan as an amnesty program and a retread of the last overhaul bill, which failed in 2007.
Some conservatives also dismissed the provision in the new plan that would prioritize securing the borders over granting legal status. They say it mandates tracking people exiting the country by air and sea, but not by land.
"There were good reasons that [2007] bill failed, and I think that it will apply to this bill, as well," said Rosemary Jenks of NumbersUSA, which advocates greater enforcement measures and a reduced flow of immigration. "The enforcement mechanisms are fairly meaningless and actually weakened current law."
The plan was backed by Republicans McCain, Marco Rubio of Florida, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona; and Democrats Schumer, Richard Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and Michael Bennet of Colorado.
The senators' plan reflects growing agreement in both parties that any legislation must accomplish several goals, including normalizing the status of existing illegal immigrants, strengthening border enforcement, requiring verification of workers' immigration status, and increasing visas for temporary agriculture workers and those working in the fields of science and technology.
Immigration analyst Muzaffar Chishti of the Migration Policy Institute says the political environment in Washington "has never been more favorable for comprehensive immigration reform. The issue is whether there is enough political space between now and the end of the year for the mechanics of the legislation to go through."
A large and growing Hispanic population voted overwhelmingly for Obama over Republican Mitt Romney in November, and many Republican leaders have said addressing immigration law is key to beginning to capture some of those voters.
But there are several potentially deal-breaking questions unlikely to be answered right away.
The biggest is whether existing illegal immigrants would receive legal status or a path to citizenship, an issue Chishti calls "the big elephant in the room."
The White House's statement said "any legislation must include a path to earned citizenship." And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., recently drew a line on the matter, saying no legislation would pass his chamber without the provision.
Most Republicans in both chambers have declined to go as far with their support. A number of Republican senators had lined up behind an earlier blueprint offered by Rubio that favored normalizing illegal immigrants without expressly providing a citizenship path.
But on Monday, Rubio, a Cuban-American senator and potential leader on the issue in the GOP, joined the seven other senators in the bipartisan call for a "tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants."
The other matter is whether the reforms will be packaged in a single bill, as Obama and Democrats prefer, or divided in separate pieces of legislation as favored by many Republicans.
The Republicans' position was undercut by Jeb Bush, the Republican former governor of Florida, who argued in a recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal for a single comprehensive bill.
Obama on Friday met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which is expected to play a key role in the debate. The caucus, which is made up of House and Senate Democrats, had for weeks urged the White House to take a leading role.
Hispanic lawmakers have issued their own policy priorities, most of which align with Obama's and those of conservative lawmakers. They include requiring illegal immigrants to register with the federal government, undergo a criminal background check, learn English and pay taxes as conditions for obtaining legal status and eventual citizenship.
The bigger fight may come in the House, which would have to take up a Senate bill or draft its own version before the two chambers could reach a compromise in conference. Unlike the Democratic-led Senate, the House is controlled by Republicans, who have installed immigration hawks on the Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on immigration, which would handle related legislation.

The Police Beat
Officer Justin Barrett. Boston, Massachusetts. The Boston Police Commissioner recently suspended and moved to fire Boston patrol cop Officer Justin Barrett, after being forwarded a racist-ass e-mail that Barret wrote in response to Yvonne Abraham's Boston Globe column criticizing Sergeant James Crowley for his stupid arrest of Henry Louis Gates. All the news stories have mentioned how Barrett stated
I am not a racist, but I am [prejudiced] towards people who are stupid
and repeatedly described Gates as abanana-eating jungle monkey.
Some also mentioned active patrol cop Barret's statement that, had he been in Crowley's place, he not only would have arrested Gates but would have pepper-sprayed himin the face.
None of the mainstream media articles I've read so far have mentioned that active patrol cop Officer Justin Barrett also complains thatYour defense [4th paragraph] of Gates while he is on the phone while being confronted [INDEED] with a police officer is assuming he has rights when considered a suspect. He is a suspect and will always be a suspect.
(Brackets in original; emphasis mine.) Or that, alongside the violent racism and explicit totalitarianism, he adds some crude misogyny, writing to the immediate target of his letter, Yvonne Abraham, thatYou are a hot little bird with minimal experiences in a harsh field. … You have no business writing for a US newspaper nevermind detailing and analyzing half truths. You should serve me coffee and donuts on Sunday morning.
He later repeats the joke about coffee and says thatyou just need to get slapped.
Officer Justin Barrett, when not a racist, sexist, police-statist patrol cop, is also a veteran of the United States government's Army; he felt comfortable forwarding his racist, sexist, police-statist e-mail to a few of his buddies in the Boston police force and several of his buddies in the Army National Guard. Since the story hit, Barrett has complained to the media that in the uproar over his repeated use of the phrasebanana-eating jungle monkey,
People are making it about race. It is not about race,
and that, although he made apoor choice of words,
I didn't mean it in a racist way. I treat everyone with dignity and respect.
His lawyer says that he plans to fight to hold onto his cop job at the upcoming hearing.Disorderly conduct. Patrolman Robert Lang, Patrolman Jared Bock, and Patrolman Shawn Panchick. Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Three white patrol cops in Pennsylvania are being investigated by another local government's cops in response to allegations that they beat and robbed a three black teenagers who they arbitrarily commanded (why?) to clear off of a friend's front porch where they were hanging out late at night. I don't know whether or not the allegations of robbery are true — one of the victims, Kyle Dudley, claims that he was beat down and robbed of his watch and money by a group of cops possibly different from the three who originally responded to the call, which makes it hard to compare stories — but I do know that, whether or not those allegations are true, the story that the cops all agreed on for their report is more than enough reason to call their conduct belligerent, violent and stupid. Cops have exactly no business singling out black teenagers to be hassled, or for forcing them down and arresting them on a
disorderly conduct
beef simply for refusing to obey arbitrary bellowed commands that they leave a private residence where they have been invited to hang out with their friends, or a neighborhood where they are hanging out on public property. And once again, it is clear thatdisorderly conduct
charges are thesheepdogs'
favorite threat for making that thesheep
stay just where they've been herded, regardless of whether or not anyone is actually doing anything that would threaten anyone's rights even in the slightest.Cops are here to keep us safe. (Cont'd.) By sideswiping our cars while they tear down the road at 20 mph over the posted speed limit with no lights and no sirens on. Then by concealing information or flat-out lying in the accident report and to the media about how fast they were going, until they finally reveal, a couple days later, that the accident was, after all, clearly the fault of the cop's speeding. Where have I seen that before…? I guess his victim is lucky that he wasn't doing 100; if he had gotten himself hurt or killed in the crash he caused, she probably would have been arrested for
reckless driving
and smeared as a cop-killer all over the local papers.Fun for ages 7 to 70. Unnamed patrol officer, Knoxville, Tennessee, and Deputy Chris Beize. Austin, Texas. In Knoxville, a government cop, who had important business to do Investigating reports of some neighbor kids getting into a fight, has been accused of trying to coerce a 7 year old boy into talking more candidly by handcuffing the child and cussing him out, while the boy was crying and asking for his mother. The 7-year-old was not involved in the fighting and was never suspected of, or charged with, any crime.
refuse to so much as disclose this dedicated public servant's name, but they promise that the matter is being Internally Investigated.Meanwhile, in Texas, Deputy Chris Beize tasered Kathryn Winkfein, a 72-year-old great-grandmother, twice during a routine traffic stop, after she refused to sign a ticket and he decided to escalate the situation by ordering her out of her car, instead of just mailing the damn thing to her home address. Beize claims that she swore at him (which is not a crime) and that she
pushed him into oncoming traffic
(no she didn't; the dashcam video clearly shows that he lunged over and grabbed her and shoved her back several feet, when she tried to de-escalate the situation by sidestepping him to get back to her truck). Then he blasted her with a 50,000-volt electric shock from the taser, and then tasered her again while she was lying on the ground. Then he arrested her for resisting arrest. His superior officers in the paramilitary chain of command have defended Beize's hollering belligerence, physical assault, and torture by repeated electrical shocks, against an unarmed, 4!!!@@e2;20ac;b2;11!!!@@e2;20ac;b3;, 72-year-old great-grandmother who never threatened any physical harm and was guilty of nothing more than a moving violation andcontempt of cop,
as an appropriate reaction to adangerous situation.
By the by, when Beize is not busy shocking the hell out of elderly women, he is a taser instructor for the local police.Officer Morris Taylor. Springfield, Missouri. Officer Morris Taylor, a cop formerly on the Springfield, Missouri city government's police force, is facing misdemeanor assault charges for beating John Sedersten, a prisoner under his authority, after Sedersten had been restrained and booked in the Greene County Jail. The story's in the news because Sedersten, the victim of the beating, recently decided not to testify against Taylor in the criminal case, on advice from his attorneys, because of the danger that his testimony will open him up to lines of questioning that the government can use against him in his pending criminal cases. Sedersten is pursuing a separate civil lawsuit against Officer Morris Taylor for the beating; apparently he's just not particularly interested in working closely with the same government office that is trying to lock him up in other cases, particularly not for so minor a vindication as a misdemeanor assault conviction. Even without his testimony, apparently
of the assault are recorded on video.Besides having spent 11 years in local government police
Officer Morris Taylor also has experience in dealing with prisoners from working as a government soldier in the U.S. government's war and occupation in Iraq.Deputy Marcus Smith. San Joaquin County, California. San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies stopped a car on a routine traffic stop near Manteca; Charles Inderbitzen was riding in the car. Inderbitzen was ex-con out on parole, and believed that he had a warrant out on him, so he got nervous around the cops. He tried to leave the scene without the cops' permission; even though the police had no reason whatever, at this point, to suspect that he had committed any crime, or even (since he was not the one driving the car) of even the most minor civil infraction. But government cops in America aren't actually interested in dealing with crimes; they are interested in targeting suspects, and are more than willing to summarily declare you a
sort of guy based solely on your failure to follow their arbitrary bellowed commands, or your decision to try to leave the scene when they are present. So a gang of police chased Inderbitzen down, cornered him in a back yard, drew their guns on him, and ordered him to get on his knees and put his hands on his head. After Inderbitzen complied with their orders, with several cops pointing guns at him and while physically at their mercy, Deputy Marcus Smith hopped the fence, kicked Charles Inderbitzen in the gut, punched him in the back of the head, kicked him two more times in the stomach, and then punched him about 5 or 10 more times until Inderbitzen was beaten unconscious. I guess he's lucky they didn't taser him to death instead.Oops. Our bad.
Deputy Matthew Paul. Seattle, Washington. Christopher Harris was trying to get away from a group of King's County police (or rather, a gang of beefy, heavily armed strangers, dressed all in black, who didn't bother to identify themselves before they started hollering and chasing after him late at night). Turns out he didn't actually do anything wrong (they were chasing him because a witness fingered him as having been involved in a bar fight; the witness was wrong). But rather than risking the possibility that someone possibly might get away from the cops (even when he had no way of knowing they were cops, who had every right to leave the scene, who posed no physical threat to anybody, and who, at the very worst, wassuspected
of some minor-league drunken fighting), Deputy Matthew Paul, who outweighed his victim by about 100 pounds, decided to put an end to things by waiting until Christopher Harris slowed down to a walk, and then body-tackling him so hard that he knocked him eight feet into a wall, slamming Harris's head into the concrete so hard it put him into a coma. The story's in the news because Deputy Matthew Paul's coworkers in the King County government's prosecutor's office have announced that, as far as they're concerned, Deputy Matthew Paul did not violate Christopher Harris's rights and the only personal consequence that Deputy Matthew Paul will face, for putting his falsely accused, completely unarmed and physically harmless victim on life-support, is having been given a paid vacation from his job for a while during the investigation. According to the county government,It's a tragic incident.
Well, oops. I guess he's lucky they didn't just shoot him in the back instead.Non-Lethal Force (Cont'd.) Unnamed officer, Officer Debra Lynn Indovina-Akerly and Officer Charles Watson. Swissvale, Pennsylvania. Last summer, a 37 year old unarmed black man named Andre DeMon Thomas was extrajudicially electrocuted by a gang of three Swissvale cops, who tortured him with three 50,000-volt electric shocks, handcuffed him, and, after he was handcuffed, kicked him, punched him, and crushed him until he vomited, passed out, and died. They were electrocuting him, incidentally, For His Own Good, after he begged neighbors to call the cops to help him out. He was unarmed; he wasn't acting aggressively; none of the neighbors felt threatened by him; he was never at any point charged with any crime at all by anyone; he seemed disoriented and terrified, and he wanted the cops there to keep him safe. But in cop-think, being terrified and disoriented means acting
and actingerratic
in the judgment of a cop, even if you pose no threat to anyone and even if you have not been so much as accused of committing a crime and even if you are yourself seeking help, is reason enough for you to get Served and Protected good and hard until you are physicallysubdued.
Or dead, whichever comes first. [And]((http://radgeek.com/gt/2009/06/22/the-police-beat-3/) yet again, it became necessary to kill Dre Thomas in order to save him. The case is in the news again because the family has filed a lawsuit and the coroner's autopsy report, which revealed deep and widespread bruising all over Thomas's body, contradicts the Medical Examiner's initial report absolving the cops and claiming that Thomas died from a mythical made-up condition calledagitated delirium
.Gang cops (Cont'd.).
Gang Strike Force,
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. Seven victims of racist shakedowns by a multi-agency paramilitaryGang Strike Force
in the Twin Cities have filed suit against the members of theStrike Force,
the city governments that put it together, and the boss cops who commanded it. TheStrike Force
was permanently shut down earlier this month after repeated complaints about the cops on it makingimproper seizures,
which is to say armed robberies under color of law, of money and property from innocent people with no connection to gang activity, but who happened to be immigrants (hence easy targets). If only we had some warning, had some way of knowing, that anelite
gang police unit with an unlimited mandate, overwhelming force, and extremely broad legal powers to roust people and take their property with minimal legal accountability, might end up just acting like the baddest gangsters on the block. But who could possibly have foreseen that? It's not like anything like this has ever happened before.Detective Keith Alfaro. San Antonio, Texas. A couple years ago Detective Keith Alfaro of the San Antonio police department got himself involved in what the media at the time dignified as a
poolside scuffle with a teenager
. By which they meant that he punched an 18 year old girl in the face, then, after he knocked her down, got on top of her, put her in a chokehold, and, according to an unrelated witness,pummeled
her black and blue while she was on the ground. After Alfaro ran away from the Sheriff's Deputies who responded to a call, Vaughn had to be taken to the hospital; she still couldn't open her jaw for weeks after the attack. The reason he did this was that she told him to put out a cigar he was smoking; the community pool had a no-smoking rule. Tamara Vaughn claims she asked him politely; Alfaro claims she copped anattitude
, got up in his face, dared to say some vulgar words in his hearing, and tried to swipe the cigar out of his mouth. Apparently, even if we grant his story to be true, Detective Keith Alfaro believes that that's good enough reason for a grown-ass man to throw the first punch, then beat the living hell out of an 18 year old girl while she's lying on the ground, and that doing sowas totally defensive … It was her own actions that forced me to take those measures.
Perhaps that's also what forced him to answer her request that he not smoke a cigar at a non-smoking pool by telling her totake that East Side attitude back over there;
maybe that's also what forced him to call her anigger
and ahalf-breed
while he was beating the hell out of her, or to tell Vaughn, who is a lesbian, thatYou wanna look like a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man.
. Detective Keith Alfaro testified that his problem was not with her race but with herattitude
(you know, the East Side kind), and thatShe though she was talking to a child, … She thought she was talking to someone she could bully — not an adult family man.
Apparently Detective Keith Alfaro believes thatan adult family man
deals with tense social situations by punching 18 year old girls in the face and dislocating their jaws. In any case, thisadult family man
bragged in an online profile for an Ultimate Fighting website about hiscountless street KO's
.The story is in the news again because Keith Alfaro finally ended up going to trial this year on a misdemeanor assault rap, along with some resisting and evading arrest for having run away from the Bexar County Sheriff's deputies. And just today, after the judge refused to allow Bexar County prosecutors to tell the jury about the online bragging about street fights, or about the numerous existing complaints against Alfaro in his internal affairs file (complaints which, of course, never endangered his position with the San Antonio Police Department, until he got into a fight on another police agency's turf), the jury voted to acquit Alfaro on the assault beef. They convicted him on the misdemeanor evading and resisting arrest charges, because apparently busting up an 18 year old girl's jaw is OK, but they'll be damned if they'll let anyone get away from the po-po.
Rapists on patrol. Officer Feliciano Sanchez, Los Angeles, California. (Possible trigger warning.)
Officer Feliciano Sanchez, formerly hired muscle for Los Angeles County's Bell Police Department, recently plead guilty to using his police powers to abduct a woman he had detained on a traffic stop, drive her to an isolated location, and then flashed his gun and coerced sex from her before he would let her free. Bell Police Department Captain Anthony Miranda says he is
to hear that a male cop might use his government-granted legal powers and his arsenal of deadly weapons to intimidate and violently coerce sex from women who come under his power. He says that he's indisbelief
because he's never heard of such a thing before. Well, I'm not. I have.18 shots for running a stop-sign. Officer James Arnold. Fort Wayne, Indiana. The city government in Fort Wayne, Indiana just spent $335,000 of other people's money in order to cover Office James Arnold's ass after he shot an unarmed immigrant named José Baudilio Lemus-Rodriguez 18 times, after Lemus-Rodriguez refused to pull over for a routine traffic stop for running a stop sign.
Fort Wayne Police Officer James Arnold, by the way, was just four months on the
when he lit up Lemus-Rodriguez's car; before that, he had years of combat experience as a United States government Marine fighting for the U.S. government's occupation and counter-insurgency operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan.Allen County Prosecutor Karen Richards refused to file any criminal charges; the city hired on a PR flack to declare Arnold's actions
objectively reasonable.
The city's main concern in settling the family's lawsuit, besides using taxpayer money to cover Officer James Arnold from any personal legal liability for his lethal actions, is apparently as a bribe to ensure that the objective video record of theobjectively reasonable
shooting remains permanently concealed from the public.

popular restaurants and bars along Weser river in Bremen
The 1,200 year old "Free Hanseatic City of Bremen" and its North Sea port sister of Bremerhaven make up a two-city state, which is the smallest of Germany's sixteen states. The cities are separated by a mere 60 kilometers along the river Weser. Bremen is a center of technology, renowned for its leadership in aircraft construction and space station assembly as well as space propulsion systems. The city-state earned the distinction of being named the "City of Science" in 2005 as demonstrated by the science center "Universum Bremen" and the "EADS Astrium".

Everything is F*cked
Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
From the author of the international mega-best-seller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been - we are freer, healthier, and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked - the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education, and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't - and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the number-one best seller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom - and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

It is said that Caucasian design Peshawar oriental rugs are mainly exported from Pakistan and Afghanistan, often made by Afghan weavers in their homes. These rugs are sometimes referred to as "pak caucasian" rugs or as "Kazak" rugs.
Rather than featuring colors of typical Peshawar rugs, this particular variety often features significantly brighter reds, blues and ivory. A red field is one of the more common of the three colors. The style of this variety of the "Kazak" design is also much different than typical examples of Peshawar weavings. Often designs feature geometric (or rectilinear) design elements and outlines, embracing Kazak designs of past. Often the foundation (and fringe) of this variety is cotton and of a grey or charcoal color tone. There are examples which may have a double cord cotton foundation, with each of a different color (at times light grey and deep charcoal to give the barber pole look). Edges (or selvages) often are flatwoven, and upwards of 1/2" wide using alternating red and blue yarn every 1/2" on each side.
These rugs come in a wide array of qualities and knot densities. However, they feature three main qualities which are generally commercially available: a straight wool pile, with a medium to high luster, as well as a thin, low pile height.
It is said the wool is dyed with natural dyes, however, there are certain colors used in these rugs which may reflect a very low percentage of actual "natural" dyes. This variety of rug has been imported from Pakistan for the last 10 years or so, but weaving has migrated somewhat in recent years. It is not uncommon to find these rugs at a local retailer, or even bazaars around the globe.

Substance Information
Substance Information
Data platform availability banner - infocard, search, nanomaterias
REACH Registration data can be found in the new ECHA CHEM database. The old 'Registered substance factsheets' will be available on this web site during the transition period but have not been updated since 19 May 2023. More
Substance Infocard
4-benzoyl-3-hydroxyphenyl methacrylate
The 'Substance identity' section is calculated from substance identification information from all ECHA databases. The substance identifiers displayed in the InfoCard are the best available substance name, EC number, CAS number and/or the molecular and structural formulas.
Some substance identifiers may have been claimed confidential, or may not have been provided, and therefore not be displayed.
EC (European Community) Number
The EC Number is the numerical identifier for substances in the EC Inventory. The EC Inventory is a combination of three independent European lists of substances from the previous EU chemicals regulatory frameworks (EINECS, ELINCS and the NLP-list). More information about the EC Inventory can be found here.
If the substance was not covered by the EC Inventory, ECHA attributes a list number in the same format, starting with the numbers 6, 7, 8 or 9.
The EC or list number is the primary substance identifier used by ECHA.
CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) registry number
The CAS number is the substance numerical identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, to substances registered in the CAS registry database. A substance identified primarily by an EC or list number may be linked with more than one CAS number, or with CAS numbers that have been deleted. More information about CAS and the CAS registry can be found here.
Molecular formula
The molecular formula identifies each type of element by its chemical symbol and identifies the number of atoms of each element found in one discrete molecule of the substance. This information is only displayed if the substance is well–defined, its identity is not claimed confidential and there is sufficient information available in ECHA's databases for ECHA's algorithms to generate a molecular structure.
Molecular structure
The molecular structure is based on structures generated from information available in ECHA's databases. If generated, an InChI string will also be generated and made available for searching. This information is only displayed if the substance is well-defined, its identity is not claimed confidential and there is sufficient information available in ECHA's databases for ECHA's algorithms to generate a molecular structure.
More help available here.
EC / List no.: 218-000-6
CAS no.: 2035-72-5
Mol. formula: C17H14O4
The 'Hazard classification and labelling' section shows the hazards of a substance based on the standardised system of statements and pictograms established under the CLP (Classification Labelling and Packaging) Regulation. The CLP Regulation makes sure that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union. The CLP Regulation uses the UN Global Harmonised System (GHS) and European Union Specific Hazard Statements (EUH).
This section is based on three sources for information (harmonised classification and labelling (CLH), REACH registrations and CLP notifications). The source of the information is mentioned in the introductory sentence of the hazard statements. When information is available in all sources, the first two are displayed as a priority.
Please note:
The purpose of the information provided under this section is to highlight the substance hazardousness in a readable format. It does not represent a new labelling, classification or hazard statement, neither reflect other factors that affect the susceptibility of the effects described, such as duration of exposure or substance concentration (e.g. in case of consumer and professional uses). Other relevant information includes the following:
- Substances may have impurities and additives that lead to different classifications. If at least one company has indicated that the substance classification is affected by impurities or additives, this will be indicated by an informative sentence. However, substance notifications in the InfoCard are aggregated independently of the impurities and additives.
- Hazard statements were adapted to improve readability and may not correspond textually to the hazard statements codes description in the European Union Specific Hazard Statements (EUH) or the UN Global Harmonised System (GHS).
To see the full list of notified classifications and to get more information on impurities and additives relevant to classification please consult the C&L Inventory.
More information about Classification and Labelling is available in the Regulations section of ECHA website.
More help available here.
Harmonised classification and labelling (CLH)
Harmonised classification and labelling is a legally binding classification and labelling for a substance, agreed at European Community level. Harmonisation is based on the substance's physical, toxicological and eco-toxicological hazard assessment.
The 'Hazard classification' and labelling section uses the signal word, pictogram(s) and hazard statements of the substance under the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) as its primary source of information.
If the substance is covered by more than one CLH entry (e.g. disodium tetraborate EC no. 215–540–4, is covered by three harmonisations: 005–011–00–4; 005–011–01–1 and 005–011–02–9), CLH information cannot be displayed in the InfoCard as the difference between the CLH classifications requires manual interpretation or verification. If a substance is classified under multiple CLH entries, a link to the C&L Inventory is provided to allow users to view CLH information associated with the substance and no text is automatically generated for the InfoCard.
It is possible that a harmonisation is introduced through an amendment to the CLP Regulation. In that case, the ATP (Adaptation to Technical Progress) number is displayed.
More info on CLH can be found here.
Classification and labelling under REACH
If available, additional information on classification and labelling (C&L) is derived from REACH registration dossiers submitted by industry. This information has not been reviewed or verified by ECHA, and may change without prior notice. REACH registration dossiers have greater data requirements (such as supporting studies) than do notifications under CLP.
Notifications under the Classification Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation
If no EU harmonised classification and labelling exists and the substance was not registered under REACH, information derived from classification and labelling (C&L) notifications to ECHA under CLP Regulation is displayed under this section. These notifications can be provided by manufacturers, importers and downstream users. ECHA maintains the C&L Inventory, but does not review or verify the accuracy of the information.
Note that for readability purposes, only the pictograms, signal words and hazard statements referred in more than 5% of the notifications under CLP are displayed.
Warning! According to the classification provided by companies to ECHA in CLP notifications this substance causes serious eye irritation, causes skin irritation and may cause respiratory irritation.
The InfoCard summarises the non-confidential data of a substance held in the databases of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). InfoCards are generated automatically based on the data available at the time of generation.
The quality and correctness of the information submitted to ECHA remains the responsibility of the data submitter. The type of uses and classifications may vary between different submissions to ECHA and for a full understanding it is recommended to consult the source data. Information on applicable regulatory frameworks is also automatically generated and may not be complete or up to date. It is the responsibility of the substance manufacturers and importers to consult official publications, e.g. the electronic edition of the Official Journal of the European Union.
InfoCards are updated when new information is available. The date of the last update corresponds to the publication date of the InfoCard and not necessarily to the date in which the update occurred in the source data.
More help available here.
Regulatory context
Here you can find all of the regulations and regulatory lists in which this substance appears, according to the data available to ECHA. This substance has been found in the following regulatory activities (directly, or inheriting the regulatory context of a parent substance):
- ECHA Legislations
- Occupational Exposure limits (OELs)
- Emission Limit Values (ELVs)
- Other chemical legislations
Substances predicted as likely to meet criteria for category 1A or 1B carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity, or with dispersive or diffuse use(s) where predicted likely to meet any classification criterion for health or environmental hazards, or where there is a nanoform soluble in biological and environmental media.
Substances assessed for potential regulatory needs.

Debian is a little different from other distributions. Even if you're familiar with Linux in other distributions, there are things you should know about Debian to help you to keep your system in a good, clean state. This chapter contains material to help you get oriented; it is not intended to be a tutorial for how to use Debian, but just a very brief glimpse of the system for the very rushed.
The most important concept to grasp is the Debian packaging system. In essence, large parts of your system should be considered under the control of the packaging system. These include:
(excluding /usr/local
(you could make
and be safe in there)
For instance, if you replace /usr/bin/perl
, that
will work, but then if you upgrade your perl
package, the file you put there will be replaced. Experts can get
around this by putting packages on "hold" in
One of the best installation methods is apt. You can use the command line version of apt as well as tools like aptitude or synaptic (which are just graphical frontends for apt). Note that apt will also let you merge main, contrib, non-free, and non-free-firmware so you can have restricted packages (strictly speaking not belonging to Debian) as well as packages from Debian GNU/Linux at the same time.
There are official and unofficial software repositories that are not enabled in the default Debian install. These contain software which many find important and expect to have. Information on these additional repositories can be found on the Debian Wiki page titled The Software Available for Debian's Stable Release.
Alternative versions of applications are managed by update-alternatives. If you are maintaining multiple versions of your applications, read the update-alternatives man page.
Any jobs under the purview of the system administrator should be in
, since they are configuration files. If you
have a root cron job for daily, weekly, or monthly runs, put them in
. These are
invoked from /etc/crontab
, and will run in
alphabetic order, which serializes them.
On the other hand, if you have a cron job that (a) needs to run as a
special user, or (b) needs to run at a special time or frequency, you
can use either /etc/crontab
, or, better yet,
. These particular files
also have an extra field that allows you to stipulate the user account
under which the cron job runs.
In either case, you just edit the files and cron will notice them
automatically. There is no need to run a special command. For more
information see cron(8), crontab(5), and

Watch These Diving Boards Cracking Under Pressure — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5126962"]
Yesterday we showed you some people who were having trouble using diving boards correctly. Today, however, any diving-board-related issues are entirely the fault of the diving boards.
We're not entirely sure how difficult diving-board maintenance is—for all we know, sometimes they just snap—but this is probably a good reminder to screw those boards in extra tight and double check those springs. You know, just in case. It can be a bit embarrassing otherwise.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

The two hulking rocks hurtling toward Earth today seem to have caught Congress' attention: Science, Space, and Technology Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith, a Republican from Texas, is calling for a Congressional hearing on what we can do to protect our planet from asteroids.
He said the meteor that exploded above Russia and the massive asteroid that whizzed past Earth at 2:25 p.m. ET., are a "stark reminder of the need to invest in space science."
His statement continues:
"Fifty years ago, we would have had no way of seeing an asteroid like this coming. Now, thanks to the discoveries NASA has made in its short history, we have known about 2012 DA14 for about a year. As the world leader in space exploration, America has made great progress for mankind. But our work is not done. We should continue to study, research, and explore space to better understand our universe and better protect our planet."
Unfortunately, Wired has pretty grim news on that front. Their headline today: "There Is No Way to Stop Space Rocks From Hurtling to Earth and Killing You."
The magazine explains:
"'The reason, simply put, is physics,' explains Brian Weeden of the Secure Earth Foundation, a former captain and missile expert in the U.S. Air Force Space Command. Asteroids orbit the sun like Earth does, and occasionally our orbits intersect, causing the rocks to enter the atmosphere as flaming meteors screaming toward impact. They are not flying like airplanes and missiles that air defenses target. Shooting them will not change their speed or trajectory — at best, a missile impact might change its direction somewhat or shatter it into more pieces."
Smith said his committee will hold a hearing "in the coming weeks."
