You're going to be able enough to throw all of the trash within the roll off dumpster rentals you've got and they'll haul it away when you're done. You may use the huge dumpster to do away with bulky bed mattresses.
A roll off dumpster rental looks exactly like a miniature dumpster that one may rent for your own own personal or company use. You'll probably need to lease a dumpster a minumum of one size bigger than you think you will need. Before the dumpster arrives be certain to clear a location for your own dumpster. As it's local, that indicates the dumpster costs less, and it'll arrive quicker.
The local construction dumpster business will have a lot of sizes of dumpsters to select from. If you're able to discover a cheap, dependable and trustworthy dumpster support, your job is finished.
A dumpster is only a big container which may carry a great deal of waste. In summary, a dumpster liner is just a massive garbage bag. The dumpster business will drop off the tremendous container in your yard or driveway. You wish to look at where you'll set the dumpster.
Every time a great deal of waste gets accumulated, dumpsters are the most outstanding choice you have. They should also know different forms of garbage that can be put in a dumpster.

Dumpster rental service can be found on the internet in addition to in the local surrounding. Simply the appropriate quantity of dumpster will turn you into a star in the firm's books, or in your own family's.
Before calling up a neighborhood dumpster rental company around you, it truly is necessary that you find out your duration for the project. Armed with this specific information about dumpster prices, you ought to be able to track down a good deal in your town. The decision between both options will likely be determined by quite a few factors like the aim of the dumpster along with the duration of use. There has not been any attempt to clean-up.
Home owners are frequently prompted to dispose of excess possessions when they're getting ready to place their home up available for sale. The homeowner won't have to be worried about maintenance and permit as it is taken good care of by the rental firm. Get quotes from other construction dumpster businesses in your region.
There are a few things to contemplate about the location the container will be set at. The sole requirement would be to pick a perfect size of roll off dumpster that will be appropriate for the project of cleaning and disposing. Many dumpster rental companies not enable you to fill the complete container and might even charge you extra in the event the materials deposited within the dumpster exceed the maximum weight limit. As if you do, it is not going to only result in trouble in regards to the rental company attempting to select the container away, but it could also result in you being forced to pay an extra charge consequently.
Consequently, the size of the bin is often the greatest factor in regards to dumpster rates. Get the true size and the proper estimate from an internet roll off dumpster rental site and you would get the ultimate value possible, and this will definitely leave slightly more in your financial plan for all those gold-plated faucets! Although you can certainly find smaller containers, if you got a massive scale job to do then it's often likely to make sense to have the biggest possible option you will be able to find. The size could be small or might be large based on the requirement.

Posted by Editoress on 08/29/13
Earlier last week, Montreal-based Canadian bike company Argon 18 invited us to a preview of their 2014 line. Next year will represent an impressive 25 years of business for founder Gervais Rioux.
Argon 18 focuses on road, triathlon and track; in fact, they have dropped their cyclo-cross model for next season, since they felt it did not offer the performance for value they are known for.
Gallium Pro
The biggest update for next season will be to the top line road models - the Gallium Pro and Gallium. These are the bikes that are raced by the Italian continental squad Amore Vita, and were raced by Steve Bauer's Spidertech squad in previous years.
Both are carbon, designed by Argon 18 and built in Taiwan (as are most top composite bikes these days). For 2014 the frame weight has been dropped by 10%, with brand new moulds designed for each size. Each size has specific moulds and geometry, unlike some off-the-rack builders. All models are Shimano Di2 ready, and are available as either frame sets or with a number of build kits - from Shimano Ultegra mechanical to the newest 11 speed Dura Ace Di2. Suggested retails for complete bikes range from $3499 to $9749. Below the Gallium series is the Krypton, which is now Di2 ready.
E118 TT/Tri
Argon is also known for its triathlon / time trial bikes - the E118 and E116. They receive no major changes to the frame design for 2014, but do offer upgraded component options. Both models meet UCI certification rules.
Electron track bike
Argon 18 also offers bikes to two under served markets - track and performance youth. The Electron track bike is available in both a carbon (Electron Pro) and an entry level aluminum version (Electron), as both a complete bike and a frame set. With the growing interest in track, and the new velodrome coming to Milton, these bikes offer good value; particularly the Electron as a complete bike for $1099.
The Xenon is the youth bike Argon 18 offers, and is available with both 24" and 650b wheels. Make no mistake, these are fully fledged road bikes, suitable for racing, and easily convertible to triathlon use. Prices range from $749 to $999, for a complete bike with STI shifting.
Argon 18 will be starting their second quarter century with an impressive line up.

Soft-serve frozen yogurt places are EVERYWHERE these days! Wanna know how to make the best choices at your local yogurt shop? You're in luck...
Read before you spoon. Check the store's website for nutritional stats -- that way you can go in prepared with a game plan. If you find yourself at a yogurt shop and you didn't get a chance to do the research, ask the peeps behind the counter if they have nutritional info handy -- sometimes the stores do have it, even if it's not on display. Pssst... Click on these store names for a shortcut to nutritionals town: Pinkberry, Red Mango, TCBY, Menchie's, and Tasti D-Lite. Serving sizes can be deceiving. The serving size listed with the stats is usually much smaller than what ends up in your cup. While 1/2 cup is a typical amount listed with calorie counts, when was the last time you had 8 measly tablespoons of fro yo? (Yup, 8 tbsp. = 1/2 cup.) Even if you order your yogurt in a 4-oz. cup, you can bet your brownie bites there's up to 8 ounces of yogurt piled into it. Just think about that towering swirl extending out of the cup! If you're looking at nutritional info, get ready to do some multiplication. Choose your yogurt wisely. Some yogurt shops offer a TON of different flavors on any given day. Don't get overwhelmed, but make sure you know what you're getting. A store might boast 10-calories-per-ounce options yet also serve choices with 30+ calories an ounce. It's sometimes fun to mix a few of the very low-cal flavors with some of the more decadent ones. That can help keep calorie counts down when you want to indulge a little. The calories from toppings add up fast. This is where you REALLY need to be careful. It doesn't matter if your fro yo has only 8 calories an ounce -- if you load it up with candy and fudge, it can easily amount to a ton of calories by the time you're done. So heap on the fresh fruit (always a good option), scoop on some mini marshmallows (just 2 calories each), and finish it off with a low-calorie topper like a few crushed cone pieces, some sprinkles (only about 20 calories per teaspoon), or a bit of sweet cereal. Watch out for deceptive toppers! You probably know to limit the hot fudge, cookie dough, and crushed candy bars. But watch out for these seemingly innocent, yet fattening items: fruit in sugary syrup (opt for fresh), sugar-free syrups and fudge toppings (they can still be loaded with calories and fat), fat-free brownie bites (can still be crazy-caloric, even if they pack no fat), and granola (easily adds 100 calories per 1/4-cup scoop!).
TCBY Shivers
PER SERVING (1 order): 530 - 1,850 calories, 8 - 85g fat, 280 - 740mg sodium, 108 - 233g carbs, 6 - 13g fiber, 72 - 159g sugars, 16 - 43g protein -- PointsPlus® value 14 - 51*
People, this is an EXCELLENT example of what a huge question mark customizable desserts can be. You pick your flavor, you pick your toppings, and the TCBY peeps mix it up for you. Is your dessert closer to 530 or 1,850 calories? Does it have under 10 grams of fat or over 80? Only you can determine that. (And the person scooping the toppings, of course.) So don't fool yourself into thinking that a huge heap of Peanut Butter fro yo loaded with walnuts in syrup and hot fudge toppings is on the low end... It isn't!
Pass this email on to all your fro-yo-loving pals -- click "Send to a Friend" to keep them informed!
Today, June 24th, is National Pralines Day. In keeping with today's theme, we suggest celebrating with a scoop of Praline & Cream frozen yogurt from TCBY!

This is how bad it was for terrorist hunters before Sept. 11: after weeks of dangerous surveillance work along the Afghan border, Egyptian investigators visiting Pakistan last summer with the permission of that country's government finally tracked down their quarry, a close associate of Osama bin Laden named Ahmad Khadr, who was wanted in connection with the 1995 bombing of the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad that killed 15 people. The Egyptians surrounded the safe house in the Pakistani frontier city of Peshawar where Khadr, an Egyptian Canadian, was hiding. All that remained was to notify General Mehmood Ahmed, then Pakistan's chief...

An agency that once fostered militants is showing success in fighting them. Now comes the $25 million question: Can the ISI help find bin Laden?

My name is Paula Carver. I'm 36 years old. I'm a stay at home mom. I have 4 children; all are currently enrolled in the Public School System. After alot of thought and consideration, I would like to Home-School my children.
I have 3 boys and 1 girl. My eldest child is from my previous marriage, he is 12 years old in the 7th grade. He will be 13 in July. My three younger children are from my boyfriends 1st marriage. His wife died 8 years ago. I love his children as my own.
My second son is 12 (just turned 12 on Feb. 7); he is in the 6th grade in Special Ed. My third son is 9 years old in the 4th grade. And lastly, my baby girl is 8 years old in the 3rd grade.
I just recently purchased Mary Pride's book "Complete Guide to Getting Started in Home Schooling". I love her book. It's very informative. In her book she talks a little about her children and them talking about "What about my Friends?"
My question to anyone out there that can help me is...What if they have already been in Public School for some time and they yell about "My Friends!"
I am so tired of the Public School System. I was in the system myself and it's alot worse (horrifying)now than it was then. I just don't want to subject my children to it anymore.
Could anyone please help me? I really could use some advice. Because I am really firm in my beliefs and my boyfriend is so supportive. He has and expresses the same concerns and beliefs. He is very willing to help out also. So, with that kind of support, how can I not do this for our children?
Waiting to hear from someone~

I'm New! I need some advice.

There's no reason why their social life can't be just as...
There's no reason why they can't still see visit their friends from school, or even participate in school sports and extracurriculars if you think this is ok and the school allows it. There might be a bit of unhappiness during the transition, sure, but it won't even be as bad as if you moved from one place to another and had to change school districts. At least they'll still be in the same geographical area as their friends.
Bottom line, their safety and education is more important. They might feel for a while like they're having less fun, but they'll certainly have less fun at college or applying for a job if they don't have a proper education. And there's no reason why their social life can't be just as rich now as it used to be.

I am pulling my son, who is currently in 4th grade, from public school next year. That is the biggest complaint that I get.....that he will miss his friends. I tell him that he will have more time for his friends. Right now, he has to do hours of homework after getting home from school. Then we have dinner and it's time to get ready for bed. So he doesn't get to play with friends on school days. I tell him that when we homeschool, he will be done in the early afternoon and have plenty of time to play. He also will continue in his activities.....scouts and hockey. Plus he will make new homeschool friends through the coop classes. So I tell him that he will have plenty of friends and more time to spend with them. He's not convinced now and constantly complains about being pulled, but I have to make the best decision for him and it's really not up to him.

My 8year old son is a social bug, he loves people, especially girls. We have a great time playing with his friends when they get out of school, or during school vacations. They have a lot of fun together. The other time he sees them is in GYM, our school district allows them to go to any extracurricular activity, gym art or music. For the older students you have have them pick an afterschool activity depending on how the school feels about it. It doesn't hurt to ask.

text: Wherever the trail leads, SRAM's Roam 40 is ready to go.The 25mm wide rims give big tires the support they deserve for outstanding cornering control, and the rims are durable enough for day-after-day sessions, yet light enough for race day. Ditch the tubes with full UST tubeless compatibility, and reap the rewards of excellent traction, control, and fewer flats. And, the Roams' great features continue with their Solo Spoke design that uses one spoke length to fit the entire wheel. This front wheel comes with a quick-release skewer and 15mm thru-axle end caps that can be interchanged without tools.

My Friday Five is somewhat of a mishmash of stuff I have recently seen around the interwebs, some of which I actually kept track of and others, I just remembered upon the writing of this post. Enjoy.
After a truly stunning two-week excursion to China, there is just so much to catch up in life. Here are a few things that I offer for your contemplation, information and prayer.
ONE | Last night while stumbling around a bit, I found myself on the site, www.thisiswhyimbroke.com. No website has been named so true and I am proud to say that I made it out without buying a roll of Glow-in-the-Dark Toilet Paper, the Fun Runny Nose Shower Gel Dispenser or the above pictured Pet Hoodie . . . though I would not be surprised if this coffee mug found its way into our kitchen some day.
TWO | For those of you who live in a city where finding a convenient parking space is like searching for a unicorn, you know that sometimes you know you are going to get a ticket, but you park in a space anyway. I am one of those who will park in at a one-hour meter and try my darndest to make it back in time. I usually make it back in time, but too often I am greeted by a $50 ticket courtesy of San Francisco's Department of Parking and Traffic. Well hello Pay By Phone, the newest way to pay for your meter via your smart phone. Simply awesome and well worth the 45¢ fee.
THREE | This story of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill I having a very expensive watch photoshopped out of a photo has been making the rounds. While many were outraged and found justified ranting fodder – and yes, I would question wearing anything on my body worth $30K – my gut reaction . . . "What's a watch?"
FOUR | Marion Barry is still in politics? What?!?!? For all of my friends in the Washington DC area, I'm praying for you all especially after Barry's latest comments when he said, "We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops," Barry said. "They ought to go. I'm going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too." He claims that these comments were taken out of context and offered his version of the "I am sorry that you were offended" apology, but again . . . What?!?!? [h/t: Angry Asian Man]
FIVE | With my family's history of gun violence seeing the headlines about the Oikos College murders when we returned from our trip has been particularly wrenching. Thankfully the numbers indicate that instances of these kinds of rampages are going down, the pain inflicted on the families, communities and generations to come are too great to measure. I am so grateful for my hometown paper, the San Francisco Chronicle for their handling of this story. Yes, there has been much commentary on the social and political implications, but they have also been running stories on each of the shooting victims. Well done. Please keep in prayer the Oikos community, the families of the victims, the shooter and all who die as a result of gun violence.

JR's Bike Dungeon. He was getting ready to fix up the wheel for me. This is only a small amount of the bikes he has in storage. I think he needed to get these out of there just to open his tool box :)
My... mobile office? I had to swing by the bank and get money out of my PayPal account for JR. Couldn't remember my ATM pin for that card. I must've looked pretty strange standing there in business casual clothes using my bike as a computer desk to reset my pin while standing right in front of the bank.

I'm looking for a seat pack for my mountain bike, and stumbled onto your blog in my search. The one on your bike looks cool, can you tell me the brand/cost/your use for it, also do you recommend it or any others? I don't have one now and I've been stuck with a flat out in the woods so now I want a pack to keep extra tubes, some tools, etc in it. Nothing big, just the few essentials to make sure I can get back home.

I'm currently using the Trek Side Loader and it's been a pleasure. Lots of room and easy access. It's been a while since I did a product review, and I've had enough time with the Side Loader to write one.
I also had really good luck with the Headland CMT And you can see what all I carried in that one. I carry the same stuff in the Trek Side Loader now.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check those out. From the pic's online, they look like what I'm looking for. Every store around here has the topeaks and none are what I want.

FieldsLive Video Archive
This archive holds videos of past Fields lectures. Lectures are archived in two formats.The interactive format, viewed in a flash-player-enabled desktop web browser, allows you to zoom in and out on specific areas of the blackboards or screens (providing a viewing experience more like being present in the room). The static format, although it does not allow for zooming in to read small blackboard writing, is downloadable and compatible with a wide variety of desktop and mobile video players.
About the Archive
Pressing the interactive button beside a lecture title takes you to the interactive video, viewable in any desktop browser with Flash Player, that lets you zoom in and out on anything of interest (such as blackboard writing). Pressing the static button takes you to a downloadable video that can be played on any desktop or mobile player that supports the Ogg Theora video format (Firefox and Chrome have this support built in), but without the zooming in/out ability that helps make blackboard writing legible.
The info (and, in some cases, slides) links take you to a web page with information and downloadable slides. If there is no slides link, there may still be downloadable slides available from within the info page. Please note that, during our transition to a new web site, many of these links will still take you to the old site.
Some Flash Player versions have a bug that causes garbled video in the interactive version. If this happens, right-click on the video, choose "Settings" and then the (left-most) button for Flash Player's "display" settings, where you should try turning off hardware acceleration.

Some people you love to hate. I love to hate Katherine Heigl. It's so much fun. And Jessica Biel too. Very entertaining. Many of you feel the same way about Gwyneth Paltrow. I get that. She's always there, giving you reason.
But Dina Lohan, Dina Lohan you can't love to hate. Dina Lohan you just hate. At least I do. There is nothing entertaining about Dina Lohan. There's nothing redeemable about Dina Lohan. Dina Lohan sucks. Everything. She sucks it all out of her children, she sucks it all out of anything she can suck. She's a professional sucker, opportunity, appendage, or otherwise.
If you watched last night's episode, you will recall a scene in which Gwyneth Paltrow – in perfect Spanish no less – tries to make her class more interesting by using phrases she thinks her students can relate to.
"Lindsay Lohan is totally crazy right?"
"How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?"
Whatever. It wasn't particularly funny, and the good parts came after, when my G bounced off Kurt; they had great chemistry.
But guess who's threatening legal action again?
Of course it is.
Dina Lohan told Gossip Cop exclusively that her lawyers are writing to Glee to yell at them for defaming her daughter.
Stupid f-cking twat... WHERE'S THE DEFAMATION???
Lilo was just namechecked on the most popular show on television. She's probably happy about it, no matter the context. And here's another thing about Dina Lohan and her constant baseless bullsh-t – nobody ever calls her on it. If she tried to tell me that her lawyers were sending a letter to Glee, I'd tell her to save her money and stop talking out of her ass. I'd also tell her she's a useless twat and a compulsive liar, and make her to show me a copy of the letter so as to prove she's not using me as her mouthpiece when she knows she doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Have you ever noticed that when Dina Lohan releases any statements about anything, she always speaks in the royal We?
"The Family is very disappointed that a judge would say that in a court of law."
Like the Lohans are the Kennedys?
I feel violent.

As part of AdvisorOne's Special Report, 20 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 2013, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Business Media sister service, Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format. In this 11th article, we look at how sales of precious metals are taxed.
Q. When a precious metal is sold, how is the transaction taxed?
Unless a precious metal is part of a tax straddle owned by the investor, or is part of a conversion transaction, no special tax rules apply to its sale. Therefore, to the extent that the selling price received exceeds the individual's tax basis in the metal, the individual must report a taxable gain; if the individual's tax basis in the metal exceeds the selling price, he or she may report a loss from the transaction. Metal held as an investment is considered a capital asset, and gain or loss on the sale will be considered a capital gain or loss, subject, however, to the special rules for collectibles. Whether the capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depends on how long the investor owned the metal prior to sale.
When bullion-type coins are acquired in the ordinary course of a taxpayer's trade or business, the taxpayer's purpose for holding the coins at the time of their disposition (even if different from the taxpayer's purpose in acquiring them) apparently controls for purposes of determining whether their sale results in capital gain (or loss) or ordinary income (or loss).
The sale of a precious metal that is part of a tax straddle is subject to special tax rules, as is the sale of a precious metal that was held as part of a conversion transaction.
Planning Point: In light of the likely change in taxation (as to deductions, ordinary and capital gain tax rates), and the new FICA tax imposed on certain investments held by certain levels of taxpayers that is slated to begin in 2013, sellers should carefully check to determine the current income tax impact of a proposed sales transaction. Some sales may also be preferable if executed before the end of 2012 rather than in 2013 (or later) for these same reasons, since they may generate less overall tax and therefore a larger net gain for an investor.
State Income Taxation: Some states (and local county and city governments) impose a separate state income tax on precious metal sales transactions. The rates and the tax treatment in the states vary widely by state, and the tax can be substantial depending upon the state in which the sale takes place. As of the date of this publication, those states that apparently do not impose an income tax on the sale are Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming (primarily because these states have no state income tax). Advisors need to check the impact of the applicable state capital gains taxation and other income tax regime at the time of proposed sale to assess the impact of such taxation on the sales transaction.
Taxation Inside Qualified and Nonqualified Plans:
IRA – Precious metals purchased by the custodian inside a self-directed IRA will be exempt from all capital gains taxes if sold inside the IRA by the custodian, since the transaction is generally exempt from income taxation. Precious metals for IRAs may be purchased only by the account custodian, except in instances of transfers of rollovers. All contributions must be made in cash.
401(k) – A qualified plan could provide for an account permitting plan participants to invest in precious metals on a pre-tax basis. Moreover, trading by the participant in such an account would be tax-deferred. However, the distribution would normally be payable in cash rather than in kind, and would thereby produce ordinary income rather than capital gain. Whether a distribution can be made in kind from a qualified plan appears in doubt. Therefore, with negative income tax consequences and technical issues, use of a qualified deferred compensation plan to acquire precious metals is generally not attractive, even in smaller companies for a sole participant.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan – A nonqualified plan could provide for an account permitting plan participants to invest in precious metals on a pre-tax basis. However, the sponsoring company must own the assets held in connection with the plan, and so would actually possess ownership of the metal. The precious metal account is a record-keeping, notional account only, even if the sponsoring company actually invests in those precious metals. Trading on the account (any account) is taxable (to the degree taxable) to the sponsoring company; not the individual participant. The participant never has, nor can have, any beneficial interest in the underlying account. Even if distributed in kind, the value at the time of distribution would be taxable as ordinary income to the participant, and not as a capital gain.
Planning Point: Therefore, satisfying the account liability owed a participant by the distribution of actual precious metal rather than cash has negative tax consequences and also raises potential ERSIA and income tax issues. Therefore, use of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to acquire precious metals is not an attractive vehicle to purchase such metals.

Don't Shoot Messenger for Revealing Uncomfortable Truths
WIKILEAKS deserves protection, not threats and attacks.
By Julian Assange
December 07, 2010 "The Australian" --IN 1958 a young Rupert Murdoch, then owner and editor of Adelaide's The News, wrote: "In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win."
His observation perhaps reflected his father Keith Murdoch's expose that Australian troops were being needlessly sacrificed by incompetent British commanders on the shores of Gallipoli. The British tried to shut him up but Keith Murdoch would not be silenced and his efforts led to the termination of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign.
Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public.
I grew up in a Queensland country town where people spoke their minds bluntly. They distrusted big government as something that could be corrupted if not watched carefully. The dark days of corruption in the Queensland government before the Fitzgerald inquiry are testimony to what happens when the politicians gag the media from reporting the truth.
These things have stayed with me. WikiLeaks was created around these core values. The idea, conceived in Australia, was to use internet technologies in new ways to report the truth.
WikiLeaks coined a new type of journalism: scientific journalism. We work with other media outlets to bring people the news, but also to prove it is true. Scientific journalism allows you to read a news story, then to click online to see the original document it is based on. That way you can judge for yourself: Is the story true? Did the journalist report it accurately?
Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest. WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars, and broken stories about corporate corruption.
People have said I am anti-war: for the record, I am not. Sometimes nations need to go to war, and there are just wars. But there is nothing more wrong than a government lying to its people about those wars, then asking these same citizens to put their lives and their taxes on the line for those lies. If a war is justified, then tell the truth and the people will decide whether to support it.
If you have read any of the Afghan or Iraq war logs, any of the US embassy cables or any of the stories about the things WikiLeaks has reported, consider how important it is for all media to be able to report these things freely.
WikiLeaks is not the only publisher of the US embassy cables. Other media outlets, including Britain's The Guardian, The New York Times, El Pais in Spain and Der Spiegel in Germany have published the same redacted cables.
Yet it is WikiLeaks, as the co-ordinator of these other groups, that has copped the most vicious attacks and accusations from the US government and its acolytes. I have been accused of treason, even though I am an Australian, not a US, citizen. There have been dozens of serious calls in the US for me to be "taken out" by US special forces. Sarah Palin says I should be "hunted down like Osama bin Laden", a Republican bill sits before the US Senate seeking to have me declared a "transnational threat" and disposed of accordingly. An adviser to the Canadian Prime Minister's office has called on national television for me to be assassinated. An American blogger has called for my 20-year-old son, here in Australia, to be kidnapped and harmed for no other reason than to get at me.
And Australians should observe with no pride the disgraceful pandering to these sentiments by Julia Gillard and her government. The powers of the Australian government appear to be fully at the disposal of the US as to whether to cancel my Australian passport, or to spy on or harass WikiLeaks supporters. The Australian Attorney-General is doing everything he can to help a US investigation clearly directed at framing Australian citizens and shipping them to the US.
Prime Minister Gillard and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have not had a word of criticism for the other media organisations. That is because The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel are old and large, while WikiLeaks is as yet young and small.
We are the underdogs. The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn't want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings.
Has there been any response from the Australian government to the numerous public threats of violence against me and other WikiLeaks personnel? One might have thought an Australian prime minister would be defending her citizens against such things, but there have only been wholly unsubstantiated claims of illegality. The Prime Minister and especially the Attorney-General are meant to carry out their duties with dignity and above the fray. Rest assured, these two mean to save their own skins. They will not.
Every time WikiLeaks publishes the truth about abuses committed by US agencies, Australian politicians chant a provably false chorus with the State Department: "You'll risk lives! National security! You'll endanger troops!" Then they say there is nothing of importance in what WikiLeaks publishes. It can't be both. Which is it?
It is neither. WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history. During that time we have changed whole governments, but not a single person, as far as anyone is aware, has been harmed. But the US, with Australian government connivance, has killed thousands in the past few months alone.
US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates admitted in a letter to the US congress that no sensitive intelligence sources or methods had been compromised by the Afghan war logs disclosure. The Pentagon stated there was no evidence the WikiLeaks reports had led to anyone being harmed in Afghanistan. NATO in Kabul told CNN it couldn't find a single person who needed protecting. The Australian Department of Defence said the same. No Australian troops or sources have been hurt by anything we have published.
But our publications have been far from unimportant. The US diplomatic cables reveal some startling facts:
► The US asked its diplomats to steal personal human material and information from UN officials and human rights groups, including DNA, fingerprints, iris scans, credit card numbers, internet passwords and ID photos, in violation of international treaties. Presumably Australian UN diplomats may be targeted, too.
► King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia asked the US to attack Iran.
► Officials in Jordan and Bahrain want Iran's nuclear program stopped by any means available.
► Britain's Iraq inquiry was fixed to protect "US interests".
► Sweden is a covert member of NATO and US intelligence sharing is kept from parliament.
► The US is playing hardball to get other countries to take freed detainees from Guantanamo Bay. Barack Obama agreed to meet the Slovenian President only if Slovenia took a prisoner. Our Pacific neighbour Kiribati was offered millions of dollars to accept detainees.
In its landmark ruling in the Pentagon Papers case, the US Supreme Court said "only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government". The swirling storm around WikiLeaks today reinforces the need to defend the right of all media to reveal the truth.

Bolivia, bad information and the State Department
by David Knowlton
The release of thousands of secret documents by WikiLeaks justifiably troubles the U.S. government, but it also provides the rest of us with a window into the information on which American foreign policy is based.
Though the window is broken and dirty, quite a lot can still be seen through it, and those glimpses are useful for evaluating our government and its policies.
Bolivia is one of the countries besides Cuba and Venezuela that troubles the United States in Latin America. Among the documents made public by WikiLeaks is a memorandum from the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia reporting on the buildup to that country's Jan. 25, 2009, referendum on a new constitution. As a scholar who specializes in the study of Bolivia, I find the published memo important. It suggests how the United States filters information about a country in problematic ways that may well become the basis for making important decisions.

The Ambassador Has No Clothes
By Ben Dangl
A classified cable from the US embassy in La Paz, Bolivia released by WikiLeaks lays bare an embassy that is biased against the Evo Morales government, underestimates the sophistication of the governing party's grassroots base, and out of touch with the political reality of the country.
The recently released January 23, 2009 cable, entitled "Bolivia's Referendum: Margin of Victory Matters," analyzes the political landscape of the country in the lead up to the January 2009 referendum on the country's new constitution, and was sent to all US embassies in South America and various offices in Washington.

Fun with Fox News and Polls
Fox News is having a tantrum that some Indian named Evo Morales thinks he has the right to tell Defense Secretary Gates a bunch of true statements to his face just because Morales is the President of a sovereign country or something. Why give "50 million dollars" in aid to Bolivia when they act like an independent country? The ever insightful FoxNews readership has chimed in with their own reasons in the comments. We have selected a few choice responses (without modifications!) and are asking your humble opinion as to which is the best. Put your thinking caps on!

Stop the foreign aide, stop paying the UN, let them fend for themselves I doesn't matter what we do they still hate us. Let's give them a good reason. If they become a direct threat to us wipe them out
2. bolivianwingnut:
YeeHaw! Finally I am reading a news article that honestly desrcibes President Evo Morales presidencey. I have lived in Bolivia and watched it take place! I have felt for years that the US should cut off all aid. Every single penny. If that had been done long ago maybe they would have realized how great a help it is and also see the error of their ways. Socialism doesn't work!
3. flyingpossum:
Yes! We need to keep supporting them. Their women are the sickest, freakiest ho-ma's in all of the Americas (except maybe Venezuela). We need to keep them fed and breeding so as to maintain a constant supply of young, servile wenches for wealthy Americans to use for entertainment.
4. blackshirt:
In our current state of affairs and with the economy the way it is, I do not believe we should be giving money to anyone. If you do not have it, Don't give it away. How is giving something that you do not own different from stealing?

I2P dev meeting, March 21, 2006
Quick recap
- Present:
ashter, Complication, jrandom, mihi, postman, tethra,
Tam IRC Günlüğü
15:09 <@jrandom> 0) hi
15:09 <@jrandom> 1) Net status
15:09 <@jrandom> 2) jrobin
15:09 <@jrandom> 3) biff and toopie
15:09 <@jrandom> 4) new key
15:09 <@jrandom> 5) ???
15:09 <@jrandom> 0) hi
15:09 * jrandom waves
15:09 <@jrandom> weekly status notes posted up at http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-March/001271.html
15:11 <@jrandom> lets jump briefly on in to 1) Net status
15:12 <@jrandom> we've been a while since a release, but things still seem fairly stable. there are some improvements coming down the pipe though, and I hope to get us a new 0.6.1.13 this week
15:13 <@jrandom> anyone have any questions/comments/concerns regarding the status of the network?
15:13 <+Complication> About the periodism I noticed yesterday on a freshly started node: it desynchronized itself in a few hours
15:14 <@jrandom> ah cool
15:14 <+Complication> Meaning, the highs and lows became a lot more random
15:14 <@jrandom> I think it still may be worthwhile to jumpstart that at the beginning though
15:14 <@jrandom> (for those playing at home, we're talking about the implications of the 10m rebuild period)
15:15 <+Complication> Probably helps prevent tunnel failures
15:15 <+Complication> I'm still observing a healthy amount of those, but haven't counted
15:15 <+tethra> (thanks for the translation :)
15:15 <+Complication> Aside from that, working decently here
15:16 <+Complication> I think I get "as there are no inbound/outbound tunnels available" about once per 2 hours
15:17 <@jrandom> hmm, on an i2phex / i2psnark / eepproxy / ircproxy / eepsite destination?
15:17 <@jrandom> (its possible for clients to overload their own tunnels, which is why I ask which)
15:18 <+Complication> Checking if there's a trend
15:19 <+Complication> Bit of shared clients and Pycache, more of I2Phex
15:20 <@jrandom> hmm ok cool, thanks
15:20 <+Complication> Significantly more of I2Phex
15:20 <+Complication> Might have to limit its bandwidth
15:21 <+Complication> (was at default 16K)
15:23 <@jrandom> ok cool, anyone have anything else for 1) Net status?
15:25 <@jrandom> if not, lets shimmy on over to 2) JRobin
15:26 <@jrandom> jrobin is neat. I like it. it was dirt easy to integrate, fairly small (177KB), fast, has a low memory overhead, and provides visualizations that are easy to understand
15:27 <+Complication> Quite agreed :)
15:29 <+Complication> Convenient graphs, with high enough resolution, help find oddities and help ask about them :)
15:29 <@jrandom> if there are any rrdtool gurus out there, if you want to give the latest cvs a glance and see what we're doing and/or see if there are easier ways to accomplish these tasks, I'd love some advice
15:30 <@jrandom> (rrdtool <-->jrobin info @ http://www.jrobin.org/api/jrobinandrrdtoolcompared.html)
15:31 <@jrandom> (and, if someone wants, they could write a fairly small app to read netDb/routerInfo-*.dat, feed them into jrobin databases, and essentially run your own stats.i2p)
15:32 <@jrandom> the in-console jrobin integration is different from the stats.i2p functionality though, as it summarizes *your* router, not all routers. both are useful
15:34 <@jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else on 2) JRobin, lets swing on over to 3) biff and toopie
15:34 <@jrandom> postman: wanna give us the rundown?
15:34 < postman> aah yes
15:35 < postman> years ago the mailservice had an irc bot called biff could notify you about new mails
15:35 <+Complication> Postman's AI foundry ;P
15:35 < postman> with the migration to a new platform biff became unusauble and i had no time to revamp it
15:35 < postman> now it's back online again
15:35 <@jrandom> (yay!)
15:36 < postman> if you wish to monitor your mailbox over irc just /msg biff .help for a list of commands
15:36 < postman> usage is straightforward
15:36 < postman> question/errors/rants/flames -> firstname.lastname@example.com
15:36 < postman> 2.
15:37 < postman> in order to cope with the (hopefully) increasing stream of newbies jr, cervantes and me thougt of a Q&A bot that can be asked for helkp on the usual daily topics and problems
15:38 < postman> first draft is named toopie and will soon reside on #i2p (i2p-chat maybe too)
15:38 < postman> it will hold a list of topics, and Q&A sorted by topics and indexed by keywords
15:38 < postman> toopie can speak to the channel as well as privmsg with a user
15:38 <+Complication> Sounds neat, though I've never seen one before :)
15:39 < postman> we hope to fill its brain asap
15:39 < postman> Complication: you can play with it in #irc2p (in private if you wish :))
15:39 <@jrandom> and one of the good parts about it is that we can fill it up with messages on irc :)
15:39 < postman> yes
15:40 < postman> admins can add some lines straight from irc and make it a new q&a
15:40 * tethra suggests an entry purely for the sake of TheJudge/closedshop to the effect of "No, predecessor attacks don't work."
15:40 <+tethra> ;)
15:40 < postman> hee
15:41 < postman> there is still room for the way of structuring the informationm
15:41 <@jrandom> (but they do. though they're not a particular program you "run" to attack someone)
15:41 < postman> more to come soon
15:41 * postman hand back the mike
15:41 <@jrandom> word, thanks postman
15:42 < ashter> postman; will toopie speak in other langages too ?
15:42 < postman> ashter: not (yet)
15:42 <+fox> <mihi> igpay atinlay? *g*
15:42 < ashter> ok
15:42 < postman> ashter: the infrastructure is there ( /me planned this )
15:42 <@jrandom> word
15:42 < postman> ashter: it will be a version 2 feature
15:42 < ashter> great, really nice thank you
15:44 < postman> (thejudge makes alone 50% of alle irc disconnects today)
15:45 < postman> jrandom: ok next topic
15:46 <@jrandom> ok cool, anyone have anything else on 3) biff and toopie?
15:46 <@jrandom> if not, lets swing on by to 4) new key
15:47 <@jrandom> well, there's not really anything to add to what I posted. new key, yadda yadda
15:47 <@jrandom> ok, lets jump on over to 5) ???
15:47 <+tethra> erm
15:47 <@jrandom> anyone have anything else to bring up?
15:48 <+tethra> how does biff know you are you? :/
15:48 <+fox> <mihi> tethra: you have to register
15:48 <+fox> <mihi> just read what is referenced in the weekly notes :)
15:48 < postman> tethra: 1.) you know your mailboxes credentials, 2. you register with an identified nick@biff
15:48 <+fox> <mihi> yes :)
15:48 <+fox> <mihi> what is the point to have expiring keys when you could have expiring subkeys instead?
15:48 <+tethra> postman: ah, ok. thanks.
15:49 <@jrandom> mihi: to compartmentalize compromise.
15:50 <+fox> <mihi> you can delete expired secret subkeys from your keyring if you wish
15:51 <+fox> <mihi> but I guess it is much nicer to have ppl lsign your key every year :)
15:51 <+fox> <mihi> nicer in some sadistic point of view :->
15:51 < postman> jrandom: now, riddle mihi this :)
15:52 <@jrandom> (assuming only the subkey could be compromised)
15:54 <@jrandom> in any case, anyone have anything else to bring up for the meeting?
15:54 <+fox> <mihi> assume someone compromised your key yesterday. now he can have played a mitm and replaced the new key.
15:54 <+fox> <mihi> i.e. compromise one key -> compromise all future keys, isn't it
15:55 <+Complication> Unless the owner uses a revocation certificate
15:55 <+Complication> invalidate compromised key -> invalidate future ones
15:55 <@jrandom> mihi: and I could revoke the compromised key and tell you not to trust new keys
15:55 <@jrandom> you now have the choice whether to trust the key change or not
15:56 <+fox> <mihi> whom to believe then? :)
15:56 <@jrandom> good question. if you hear a signed revocation in the next day or two, you should discard the new key
15:57 <+fox> <mihi> and if it was a subkey, you'd revoked the amin key and the subkey is automatically discarded :)
15:57 <+fox> <mihi> s/amin/main/
15:58 <+fox> <mihi> agree to disagree?
15:58 <@jrandom> aye, that we can agree to ;)
15:58 <@jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else for the meeting...
15:58 <+fox> * mihi hands jrandom the *baf*er (after years, just like in good old times...)
16:00 <@jrandom> hehe
16:00 * jrandom winds up
16:00 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed

Each incident is life-transforming, and can cause painful injuries, mental suffering and devastating economic losses from medical expenses, wage loss, or reduced future earnings capacity.

We will seek punitive damages to help protect your financial future as you recover from the death of your loved one.
Get Compensation – Personal Injury Attorneys Birmingham, AL
The traumatic injuries from an accident can sometimes last a lifetime, especially in those cases involving brain, burn or spinal cord injuries. We have an excellent reputation for trying and successfully resolving catastrophic injury cases at trial, especially in incidents where an insurance company's offer to settle, was grossly inadequate for the long-term medical and financial needs of a catastrophically-injured individual.
Skillful Handling of Aggressive Auto Insurers
Although we are a caring, family-owned law firm, we are known for our assertiveness when it comes to protecting our clients against insurance companies. Due to current economic instability, many insurance companies use delay or bull-dog tactics to avoid paying medical bills, lost wages and other out-of-pocket expenses for legitimate accident insurance claims. We fight hard to win successful outcomes for each of our clients through equitable settlement or by verdict at trial.
Negligence of a Business or Property Owner

Team USA squeezed into the knockout round of the World Cup in dramatic fashion with an injury time goal by Landon Donovan that ended the game 1-0 against Algeria.
The Americans were in a must win situation when Donovan picked up the scraps of a goal mouth scramble in the 91st minute and drilled a shot in the back of the net. The star midfielder was mobbed by teammates after the goal and was later in tears.
It was Donovan's 44th international goal -- a US record -- and without a doubt the most important one.
U.S. & World
"I have been on a long journey the last four years. I'm just shocked and so proud of our guys, unbelievable," Donovan said after the match, Yahoo! reported. "We're alive, baby."
U.S. coach Bob Bradley applauded his players.
"These guys put a lot into it," he said. "They never quit. We were pushing hard for a goal. It made for a wide open game, but we needed a win."
With the victory, the USA finishes at the top Group C -- the best finish for an American team since 1930 and a far-fetched notion coming into the tournament.
England beat Slovenia 1-0, also advancing to the Round of 16. Their early goal added massive pressure on the USA who would have crashed out of the tournament with a draw against Algeria.
The USA' s next opponent will be Ghana, who finished second in Group D. That game will be played Saturday and can not end in a tie. The winner will face either Uruguay or South Korea in the quarterfinals.
Once again, the game against Algeria was marked by poor officiating when an apparent US goal was taken away on an offside call. Clint Dempsey appeared to be level with his defender when he put the ball in the net off a shot parried by the Algerian keeper.
But the referee called Dempsey offside. Maurice Edu's late goal was disallowed against Slovenia last week, a score that would have given the Americans a victory.
The US responded with a fierce attack but missed a handful of easy goal opportunities.
With Donovan's goal, the USA went from being on the brink of elimination to group winners. Former US President Bill Clinton was in attendance, sitting next to FIFA President Sepp Blatter at the stadium.
The win even drew cheers from the current occupants of the White House. "USA USA USA" the White House tweeted moments after the final whistle blew.

Even established groups can and should review what they are trying to achieve.
A formula some managers use is to divide objectives into aims, strategies and tactics, where aims are the overall intentions of the group, strategies are the means of achieving aims and tactics are methods of implementing strategies.
For example, you might decide that your group's objectives were:
- Aims - to make your area a safer place for cycling and to encourage cycling for transport and recreation.
- Strategies - calming city centre traffic; obtaining a local authority commitment to spending on cycle schemes; having beginners rides promoted by the City Council.
- Tactics - writing letters to the local press; making links with sympathetic councillors and local authority officers; petition; organising beginners bike riders and courses.
You should review your objectives regularly, with particular focus on your strategies and tactics. If one strategy or tactic is not working, discard it and try another.
You can also use this framework as a means of monitoring your group's activities and whether you are focussing on the right objective, and using your time and energy accordingly?

I've been trying to figure out how to write this post for quite awhile now. Nearly 2 weeks ago, I backed out of the business partnership. This past Monday it was made official. And, as of today, I have also moved out of that big, beautiful studio space that I only recently moved into.
There is a part of me that wants to scream, WTF(?!?!) into the bright blue sky. There is a part of me that wants to explain everything. But it's not worth it. Nor would it be respectful, since all of this involves another person.
At first, there was a part of me that felt like the Universe had just played some kind of sick joke on me. I have dreamed of a space like this for as long as I can remember. For two months, I put my heart and soul into getting the space ready and into all the plans that it included. Then I enjoyed it for barely 2 weeks. There is a part of me that is incredibly mad at myself for investing so much time, planning, labor, and dreams into something that was never meant to be.
There is another part of me that feels grateful that the Universe saved me from getting deeper into something that could have become much messier down the road.
There was a part of me that thought I needed that space in order to grow. There is another part of me that realizes that, because of that space and the experiences attached to it, I have already grown. Having a big, fancy, "proper" studio space does not make me more of an artist. It does not guarantee success. It does not make me a better person.
There is a part of me that feels stupid and embarrassed for getting into this situation in the first place. There is another part of me that is grateful for what this experience is teaching me.
Lesson #1: Always listen to your gut. Oh, how cliche! But it's funny how your gut always knows...usually waaaay before you're willing to admit it to yourself.
Lesson #2: I am capable of much more than I was giving myself credit for. I hate to admit that there was a part of me that went into partnership because I lacked enough self-confidence to believe that I could be successful on my own.
Lesson #3: Negativity, holding grudges, playing the victim, and moving through life with a chip on your shoulder will get you no where. I would prefer to move forward with an attitude of open-heartedness, joy, and love. That is, after all, what the core of my work as an artist is all about. You know the saying: "Energy flows where attention goes"? Well, I want my energy to go in positive directions. That means only one thing: that I must allow myself to let go, let go, let go, let go.... this has become my chant.
I couldn't agree with Olivia more when she writes, "it is really exciting for me to read about and see women courageous enough to make so-called "mistakes" and then just keep right on going. Let's face it, lots of people share their successes, which are indeed inspiring. But to share your mistakes and then to work to turn them into something that does fit in a beautiful way---that's even more inspiring to me." I can't thank Olivia enough for those words. I read them at just the right time.
A few nights ago, I went downstairs to paint, but was instead drawn to the journal I got in celebration of The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women. There was a photo of my studio laying on my workbench. Impulsively, I glued it to the page. Then I wrote the words: "Goodbye beautiful Studio. You were never mine. Be well." This made me sad. I knew that no matter how many years might pass, if I opened up the journal to that page, I would probably feel a sharp pang of loss. The journal is still relatively new and I hated to put something in it that would make me feel so bad. And so I kept adding. I added an image of a road, a window, wildly blooming flowers, a butterfly, and words that speak to this journey.
By the time I was done, I felt transformed. Oh, the healing power of art. It will never cease to amaze me. Flipping through the pages of a magazine I saw the words "Leap of Faith." It was for an article about sky diving. The words felt good. I mean really good. They felt like the next chapter of my life and so I pasted it at the top of the next page.
This is the place where I begin again.
One of the best things to come out of an otherwise shitty situation is that is has given me an opportunity to reassess and get clear about my goals. This is an opportunity to stop and listen to the whispers of my heart. I'm learning that there's something to be said for the unexpected gifts that flexibility can bring.
What it boils down to is this: I made a mistake. I made a very big mistake--one that I am tempted to regret. And yet, I don't want to regret this.
Today I am letting go of what wasn't working. I am letting go of a vision that wants to take a different path. I am letting go in order to let something better in.
Even though I only worked in that studio space for a couple weeks, I enjoyed it beyond measure. It made me want to dance and sing. It showed me that anything is possible. My friendship and brief partnership was a nudge that helped me to learn how to dream bigger. I have a feeling that the space and the dreams that it held will always hold a profoundly important place in my heart.
But today is the next stage of the journey. Today I am starting over. Today I am grateful for what was because it is leading me to what is next. Upon waking this morning, my life looked like this:
To let go is to celebrate the deep art of living in the present.The benefits of working from home are countless. Despite losses, despite messiness--I am grateful for all of it.

Pipelining for Parallelism - Two alternatives
Pipelines make a great way to exploit parallelism, and there are two great ways worth exploring to do exactly that.
Of course - both offer solutions for good scaling with multi-core processors, and both focus on fitting into C++.
Where they differ is how much they help with avoiding non-determinism in your parallel application.
One solution makes it your problem, and the other guarantees a deteministic program. As you might guess - to use the guaranteed method will require more learning of the techniques, and more investment of re-casting your program in new terms.
Is it worth it? Time will tell - both are available for trying - free of charge...
Intel Threading Building Blocks offers pipeline constructs for just this reason - and is available for free. TBB doesn't force you to make you program easy to debug - it makes that your problem. On the other hand, TBB makes doing pipelines in C++ with great scalability very easy - it slips into a C++ program without a great deal of learning necessary. It is easily one of the most popular features in TBB.
Whatif.intel.com offers Intel Concurrent Collections for C/C++ which embodies many of the concepts here - and is available to experiment with for free. CCC takes more effort to learn, but in exchange guarantees a deterministic program. It grows out of a research project formerly known as T-Streams (tagged streams), which is now very timely for multi-core processors.
TBB is a couple years old, and nearing one year as an open soruce project. CCC is a very new entrant - appearing on Whatif very recently.

The post should contain clear instructions for how to install and run the script.
Remember: ZBC has advanced search capabilities. Write your posts so that other members can easily find your script!
Please note that this forum is not the place to share tutorials that take the form of ZScripts. Those should go in the Tutorials Forum instead. It is also not the place to share recorded sessions. The only kind of ZScript that should be posted here is a utility.
Thank you, and happy authoring!
