Michael Byrne, an expert tile setter and consultant in Los
Olivos, Calif., responds: While breezeway enclosures are
good because they help shield walkways from precipitation and
temperature extremes, they can also trap moisture. A floor that
puddles is a nuisance and a safety hazard, and in the
environment of an enclosed breezeway, chronic excess moisture
can lead to mold and wood rot. So, depending on your
breezeway's design and exposure, you may have to slope the
walkway prior to tiling and provide a method of draining off
excess water. And even without the need for a slope, scuppers,
or a drain, retrofitting this installation for tiling will
still require a waterproofing/crack-isolation membrane applied
to the slab. Finally, if the crack in the concrete exceeds 1/8
inch wide or results in uneven concrete surfaces, the walkway
should not be tiled at all.
Flat or sloped, all exterior tiled walkways need a
waterproofing membrane. If sloped, the slope should allow the
walkway to self-drain. I prefer to float a crowned, bonded
latex mortar fill over a concrete slab, but many walkways are
finished with the tiles sloped to one side only. Drainage is
needed in either case; I recommend fitting the enclosing walls
with scuppers large enough to allow for the free flow of excess
water, leaves, and whatever else is going to be tracked
The crack is a serious problem requiring careful membrane
detailing to limit tile damage and prevent water from getting
between the membrane and the setting bed, which could damage
the surrounding structure. Many isolation membranes aren't
suitable for exterior use. I use Noble Deck, a sheet membrane
made specifically for this purpose (The Noble Co.,
800/878-5788, www.noblecompany.com). I lap the membrane
about 4 inches up the wall and use the company's shower-pan dam
corners to detail the membrane around scuppers and openings (an
exterior floor membrane has much in common with a shower pan).
Regardless of the membrane system you install, make certain
that the perimeter joints are filled with an approved sealant
and not hard grout, which can damage the tiles and render the
membrane useless.
Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to moisture penetration,
but not all porcelain tiles work well in breezeways. Some have
a coarse surface finish that helps reduce slips and falls but
also makes the tiles ideal dirt magnets. Dirt lodged in the
surface pores can be very difficult to remove, so make sure
your tile dealer directs you to a tile made specifically for
use outdoors: It should be both freeze/
thaw stable and easy to maintain.
I also recommend using high-quality latex thinset mortars and
grouts that are approved for exterior use; follow manufacturer
instructions and wet/dry mixing ratios to the letter. For
spreading uniform layers of latex thinset mortar, a notched
trowel should be used to achieve the industry-standard 95
percent adhesive coverage. Any less and moisture is likely to
pool in the voids, expand when it freezes, and pop tiles off
the surface. To achieve 95 percent minimum coverage, the tile
industry recommends the use of a 1/4-by-1/2-by-1/4-inch U-notch
trowel for 12-inch tiles, but only on-site experimentation will
reveal the right trowel. It isn't the size of the trowel or the
notch profile that is important; it's the coverage.
When grouting, make sure that all the grout joints are
thoroughly packed. Water can easily fill voids in the grout,
and on freezing cause significant damage to the installation.
All membrane systems require that any joints abutting
restraining walls, plumbing, or other penetrations be filled
with a flexible sealant — not caulk — rated for
exterior use.
Vitreous or impervious tiles, latex thinsets and grouts, an
exterior waterproofing/crack-isolation membrane system, a
sloped setting bed when needed, and regular applications of a
penetrating sealer will get you a simple-to-maintain tile
walkway. Anything less and your customer isn't going to be

Lamborghini Aventador limousine in the works
The planned stretch supercar is mad, but it's a fun kind of madness.
British firm Cars For Stars has released specs for a stretch limousine version of the Lamborghini Aventador supercar.
The company envisions an Aventador with all the trappings of a modern limo and a Lamborghini, from an extra set of scissor doors to a bar, plasma televisions and more.
The difficulty in building a real Aventador limo would be crafting a one-of-a-kind tub, as the standard Aventador is made from carbon fiber.
The practical difficulty, on the other hand, will be funding the project. To that end, Cars For Stars has offered anyone who steps up to help finance the car a year of free advertising on the limo itself, as well as the right to name the finished creation.
As unusual as the Aventador limo concept is, this isn't the first time someone's had the notion to elongate one of Lamborghini's finest for the rich and powerful. A British company unveiled plans for a Gallardo-based limo back in 2008, though it appears never to have seen production.
At least two Countach limos were built, both in America. One was smartly -- if the word is to be applied to a stretch Lamborghini -- made from a replica rather than an actual Countach, though the project hit a series of difficulties, resulting in an inconsistent level of fit and finish. The other was built and is still owned by White Rose Limousines of Orange County, Calif., though it is no longer available for rental. The White Rose Countach limo is another replica, this one an open-top roadster with flat-screen TVs and a heart-shaped Jacuzzi hot tub. We guess if you're going to do it, you may as well go all-out.
It's easy to look at the prospective design for the Aventador limo and recoil in horror, outraged that anyone would defile such a quintessential supercar in such fashion. In the end, though, there are so many things to get legitimately upset about in this world, and it's not as if Lamborghini is running out of Aventadors for wealthy owners to flog about highways worldwide, so why not?
So, in the spirit of "that's crazy but it's our kind of crazy," we hope someone steps up and helps the stretch Aventador get built -- and that someone actually rents it, takes it to the nearest flat expanse and strings it out mercilessly for the cameras. Let the silliness commence.

ECW - Politically Incorrect and Damn Proud Of It!
~ ECW - Politically Incorrect and Damn Proud Of It! ~
~ T.D.M Productions ~
For me ECW was exactly what wrestling should be. It revolutionized the business and lid the foundations for the most profitable time in wrestling history. It marked the end of the Rock and Wrestling connection and introduced new wrestlers with new gimmicks, different to what anybody had ever seen, anywhere else. Talent came and went, as did money, but the one constant was the incredible fans. The ECW faithful stood by the company until it's closure in 2001 (fuck WWECW tbf
!). But how about we switch our minds back 4 years before this untimely demise, to 1997, a year when everything looked rosy for Philly's favourite bingo hall and they finally reached the wrestling promise land - better known as Pay-Per-View. This BTB starts immediately after ECW Barely Legal 1997, which was the company's very first pay-per-view. For those of you unaware of what was going on at this time, here's a recap of Barely Legal:
~ ECW Barely Legal ~
~ EC-Dub ~
Joey Styles introduces the event with the Philly fans going wild. Tonight, Pay-Per-View is taken to the EXTREME!!!
~ ECW World Heavyweight Championship ~
~ Dudleyz © vs. The Eliminators ~
The Dudley Boyz come out with Sign Guy Dudley and 'The Quintessential Stud Muffin' Joel Gertner. After Gertner's seemingly endless introductions Saturn and Kronus come out and we get under way. After a 450 Splash from Kronus the challengers hit the Total Elimination and become the new champions. After the match, for good measure, Gertner takes a Total Elimination too, much to the fans delight.
~ The Angry Original ~
Joey Styles announces that Chris Candido is out of his match tonight with a partially torn bicep, and will be replaced by Rob Van Dam. However, Candido is sure to make sure he's on the show. He cuts a promo on all 3 guys in the Number One Contender's Match tonight - Stevie Richards, Terry Funk & The Sandman. Chris claims that he helped start this company so, despite being injured, he should be in the main event. He then promises he will be involved in the event tonight, no matter what it takes.
~ Lance Storm vs. Rob Van Dam ~
Storm and RVD have an ultra competitive match-up, involving 2 steel chairs and plenty of top-notch grappling action. Van Da dominates early on, hitting a Springboard Moosault off of the steel guard rail and a Frog Splash. But Lance weathers the storm (get it?) and fights back before coming close after a Tiger Bomb into a steel chair. However, a moment of hesitation prove to be the Canadian's downfall as he gets caught playing to the fans and gets smashed in the face with a Van Dominator. RVD follows up with a Standing Somersault Smash and gets the win, and for once is actually cheered by the fans for the great performance.
~ The Whole F'n Show ~
However, the cheers soon turn to jeers as Rob Van Dam gets on the microphone. The disrespectful 26 year-old first refuses to shake Lance Storm's hand before cutting an angry promo about not being first choice to face Storm and only being on the card because of Candido's injury. The promo ends on a loomingly ominous note with RVD even hinting that may be we have seen the last of the skilled high-flyer in ECW, saying his win tonight made him even more valuable to prospective employers.
~ Minchinoku Pro 6-Man Tag Match~
The Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada and Masato Yakushiji enter first to respectful applause from the crowd, but their opponents get a much warmer welcome when they are introduced as The Japanese Branch of the bWo. Taka Minchinoku, Terry Boy & Dick Togo have streamer fired around them as the original bWo wish them luck and head to the back. The 6 enter a show stealing performance, striking a perfect balance between high-flying and technicality. The end to this epic encounter finally comes to an end when The Great Sasuke pins his protégé Taka Minchinoku with a bridging Tiger Suplex. After the match everybody shakes hands, but when Sasuke and Taka come face to face, the mentor turn his back and walks away, leaving Minchinoku confused in the centre of the ring.
~ The Franchise Player, Baby! ~
Amidst rampant jeering and surrounded by riot police, Shane Douglas and his squeeze, Francine come to the ring, with 'The Franchise' proudly sporting the belt they screwed Pitbull #1 out of just a few short weeks ago. Douglas pokes fun at Gary Wolfe (Pitbull #1) at ringside and gloats about breaking his neck. The incapacitated Wolfe is forced to it and observe as Douglas proceed to call out his opponent tonight from the back to go one-on-one. Pitbull #2 hit's the ring, immediately clearing house. Everybody knows how much is on the line - not only is Douglas putting up his TV Title, but should Pitbull lose, the masked man who has been following Douglas recently (rumoured to be Rick Rude) must take of his disguise and reveal his identity to the world.
~ ECW Television Championship ~
~ Shane Douglas © vs. Pitbull #2 ~
Pitbull starts well and immediately target the neck of the Champion. However soon Douglas is taking all forms of shortcuts and rule bending to keep his belt. As the riot squad watch on, the two men wage war and try to keep the crowd under control. However, they soon have another mission to complete as Gary Wolfe decides to get involved y hopping over the guard rail and beginning to unload on 'The Franchise'. However, he's soon jumped on by the riot squad and escorted to the back. It doesn't seem to bother Anthony Durante (Pitbull #2) too much as he throws in a section of the guard rail and proceeds to try to use it as a weapon. As the match advances, things get even more extreme and both men trade weapon shot ad pinfalls. Perhaps the closest of which coming when Chris Candido makes good on his earlier promise and gets involved. Pitbull takes him out but the opening allows Douglas to use a Schoolboy Roll-Up, which Pitbull kicks out of at 2 and seven-eighths. The end finally comes when Douglas manages to pull his signature Belly-to-Belly Suplex from absolutely nowhere to pick up the win and retain his title.
~ The Grand Reveal ~
Seemingly making good on his promise, The Masked Man appears on the ramp wherein a signature Rick Rude robe and struts to the ring. However, The Rude One says he will only unmask if he gets Francine, before planting a passionate kiss on her. However, a furious Douglas attacks from behind and takes the Masked Man down to his knees. He then proceeds to rip the mask off. All eyes shoot to the face, expecting Rick Rude, but what they get is much, much different. To everyone's surprise (and the fans delight), it turns out 'Bulldozer' Brain Lee was under the mask. Meanwhile, one of the riot guards enters the ring and takes of his helmet, and this time…It Is Rick Rude!!!! Douglas doesn't see him but he sure feels it when Rude smashes him in the face, which is followed by a Chokeslam from Brian Lee, with which Lee firmly announces his departure from The Triple Threat and his new alliance with 'Ravishing' Rick Rude. Candido, Douglas and a still smitten Francine all quickly make their way to the back, leaving Rude and Lee celebrating their achievements and anarchy they caused right here in the ECW Arena tonight.
~ The Ultimate Grudge Match ~
~ Taz vs. Sabu ~
After months of build-up, these two men finally go head to head in the centre of the ring. Taz enters first will Bill Alfonso along side him, and almost as soon as 'The Human Suplex Machine' is in the ring, Sabu sprints through the crowd and slides into the squared circle himself. The two men beat the holy crap out of each other and brawl all over the arena. Taz targets Sabu's neck through out, even Taz-Plexing him through a table, and eventually finishes him off with the Tazmission rendering ECW's Evel Knievel unconscious. The fans applaud the great effort shown by both men, as Taz orders a microphone from ringside…
~Now That's What I Call A Double Turn ~
As his music cuts, Taz tells Sabu to listen closely as he tells his opponent that although Sabu got choked out tonight, he gave Taz the greatest fight of his life. The machine also tells Sabu that he is willing to give him a re-match any time he wants, before closing with an offer of a hand-shake. The fans applaud as the cautious Sabu eventually accepting the offer. The two men embrace and Sabu lifts Taz's arm up into the air in victory. The fans applaud this incredible show of sportsmanship, but as always in ECW, the tranquillity doesn't last long, as Rob Van Dam sprints down to the ring. The stunned fans watch on as RVD attacks Taz from behind, and it's not long before Sabu joins in on the act, effectively turning himself heel. The fans can't believe it as the new alliance go after their target viciously, repeatedly stomping and punching his limp body. Things get even worse for at though as Sabu hits him with an Arabian Facebuster and putting him through a table, but perhaps the most painful event comes when Taz's own manager, Bill Alfonso, turns on him too, by removing his Team Taz shirt to reveal a new T-Shirt, one emblazoned with the face of Sabu. RVD the brigs an end to the brutality, by making another ominous announcement - "I Love to work Monday's". It looks to all that Alfonso's selling out has formed a new force in ECW, on which could prove the downfall of 'The Human Suplex Machine'. That's of course, if they stay in ECW which after RVD's announcement, looks uncertain.
~ The Innovator Of Commentary? ~
Joey Styles introduces his special guest commentator for the next match, Tommy Dreamer…but of course the crowd chants for Beulah, who is in accompaniment.
~ #1 Contender's Match ~
~ Stevie Richards vs. Terry Funk vs. The Sandman ~
The winner of this Three Way Dance gets a shot at the ECW champ, Raven, immediately following this match. It's different than a WWE Triple Threat match in that the match isn't over on the first pinfall, but it's an elimination match. The entire Blue World Order hits the ring to kick things off. Sandman, of course, busts himself open with a beer can before the match even starts, with 'Enter Sandman' blaring out of the speakers. Funk gets a great reaction on the way out and is clearly the most over in the ring - but the question remains, can he pull it off at 54 years of age? After a titanic tussle, Terry and Sandman decide to form an alliance again and they both Powerbomb Stevie and finally get the pin to eliminate him. The crowd doesn't like that one. Sandman slugs away on Funk, but gets backdropped to the outside and lands on Richards. He finds a strand of barb wire under the ring, but gets hit with the piece of sheet metal that the garbage can was wrapped in before he can use it. Funk commandeers the barb wire, which is wrapped in streamers by the way, and whips Sandman with it, but he comes back by hitting him with the piece of sheet metal. Sandman wraps the barb wire around his own body and runs into Funk, and then comes off the top rope with a legdrop, but it only gets two. Stevie distracts Sandman, allowing Funk to put the garbage can on his head and Richards hits the Stevie-kick and Funk follows with a moonsault to get the pin. Funk lays on the mat as he is announced as the winner, and he will tae on Raven for the strap, right now!
~ ECW World Title Match ~
~ Raven © vs. Terry Funk ~
Raven immediately runs out and goes to work on Terry Funk, nailing him with the title belt and stomping away. He grabs a chair and sets it up in the middle of the ring and then hits a drop toe hold on Funk, causing Terry's face to crash into the chair. Funk is busted open and Raven goes to work on the cut. They bring the doctor out to take a look at Funk, who is bleeding like a stuck pig, and Dreamer calls bullshit. The crowd chants for Tommy, but he promised Terry he would not get involved in the match. Terry is bleeding all over himself and the ring, and Raven keeps hammering away on the cut. Raven drags Terry to the outside and then Suplexes a table on top of him, then grabs another table from under the rings and sets it up. He puts Terry on top of it, gets back into the ring and dives over the top rope and crashes Funk through the table. He even punches out the doctor just to be a dick. He calls the entire Raven's Nest out and hits a sitdown Powerbomb on Funk. Raven gets on the mic and promises to end Funk's career in front of Tommy Dreamer by chokeslamming him through three tables off of the Eagle's Nest, just like they did Tommy. Dreamer stands up to confront Raven, but Big Dick Dudley (fresh out of jail) comes from behind with a garbage can shot as Raven DDTs the referee. Big Dick tries to Chokeslam Tommy through the three tables, but Tommy goes low to stop it and shoves Dick off the landing and through the tables…OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD! Tommy beats the shit out of all of the Raven's Nest members and makes his way to the ring. He DDTs Raven in the ring to a big pop, but it only gets two. It looks like Funk may have just missed his big chance but from nowhere he pulls out a Small package and gets the pin and the title for the upset and the HUGE pop.

Re: ECW - Politically Incorrect and Damn Proud Of It!
MARK OUT! Its good to see some retro ECW in this forum, with some sleazy low-budget violence, and you chose the PERFECT time. Post-Barely Legal, fans could really feel that ECW had hit a turning point and had the potential to get bigger and bigger. I have high hopes for this BTB especially since you seem like a solid diary.

Note: Portions of the column first appeared in a post earlier this week.
State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, considered one of the most cautious men in Georgia politics, on Wednesday took a huge gamble — and jumped into the U.S. Senate race against Republican incumbent Johnny Isakson.
Consider that Thurmond, despite his status as an A-list Democrat, starts with a vacant campaign treasury. Isakson has already squirreled away nearly $4 million.
Also consider that, within the dynamics of a general election, Isakson, 65, may be the strongest and most popular Republican in Georgia.
So the immediate question becomes whether Thurmond, 57, a former state lawmaker from Athens and a history buff, has been hiding a fondness for the roulette wheel. Or a penchant for Texas hold 'em.
The answer is yes — and no.
Thurmond is better than good on the stump, as he proved in an emotional debut at the state Capitol, beneath a portrait of James Oglethorpe, founder of the 13th British colony.
Thurmond brings a passion that many Georgians will find unusual. Asked whether he was prompted to enter the race by Isakson's recent hospitalizations, Thurmond said no.
The labor commissioner talked to Isakson the day before and declared his opponent to be in excellent health.
Had Washington Democrats lured him into the race? "That's a popular notion, but really, it didn't happen," Thurmond said. "I've talked to people in Washington, but they did not recruit me."
Thurmond said he made his decision to enter the Senate race beneath an oak tree in a Clarke County park where his sharecropping family once had a shack — and an outhouse.
"I used to sit under that oak tree, and dreamed that one day," Thurmond said, choking up for three beats, "that after three generations of sharecroppers who could not read and write, that one day we would rise above that. That I would rise above that."
Thurmond offered himself up as an example of what can happen through faith and hard work. But an African American who has run — and won — statewide three times in a Georgia that's not just red, but occasionally scarlet, also can have no illusions about his chances.
No doubt, national Democrats will steer some money his way, but the cash is never as much as promised. So what, short of outright victory in November, is Thurmond up to?
Politics is very seldom a team sport — but we may be seeing the equivalent of a sacrifice fly to deep right field, for the sake of advancing or protecting the Democratic runners already on base.
Thurmond is a sign that Democrats in Georgia and in Washington, with congressional districts to be redrawn next year, are dead serious about November.
All four major Democratic candidates for governor have settled on Republican ineptitude in the Capitol as the issue that will carry them into the general election.
The GOP, on the other hand, will do its best to tie Democrats to Washington and President Barack Obama, who does not poll well in Georgia. Not among white independents.
The economy will be the topic, and Isakson is likely to become the major vehicle for nationalizing the Georgia contest. Should Isakson, at the top of the ballot, clear much beyond 60 percent, then Democratic chances of winning the race for governor disappear.
That's the case whether the candidate is former Gov. Roy Barnes, Attorney General Thurbert Baker, House Democratic Leader DuBose Porter or former National Guard commander David Poythress.
Thurmond joins the unfunded and unknown R.J. Hadley in the Democratic primary. By putting up a strong candidate fluent in the language of jobs and the economy, who just happens to be black, Democrats have taken a large step toward preventing an Isakson-driven avalanche.
There's more. Thurmond had been spoken of as a candidate for lieutenant governor. His shift to the Senate race leaves the Democratic nomination to Carol Porter of Dublin, wife of the candidate for governor.
Arguably, Thurmond might have beaten Carol Porter, but at the cost of a divided Democratic electorate that still bears the scars of the 2006 Cathy Cox/Mark Taylor debacle.
So Democrats will able to avoid yet another contest that might have fractured the party along the fault lines of race and gender.
Moreover, suppose that DuBose Porter does not win the Democratic contest for governor. By assuring the wife's nomination, Democrats guarantee that the husband — one of the most influential Democrats in the Capitol — will remain engaged through November.
And yes, Thurmond's entry into the Senate race could help Barnes reclaim the Governor's Mansion.
While he has differed with other African Americans in the party over such volatile issues as Genarlow Wilson, as a long-time attorney general, Baker has a legitimate claim on black voters. Barnes likewise has a strong base among African-American voters, through his decision to change the '56 state flag.
But with Thurmond at the top of the state ballot, racial loyalty immediately becomes a lesser issue in the governor's race. And if Barnes is indeed the Democratic nominee, the chances of an African-American backlash are greatly lessened.
Bottom line: Whether he wins or loses the U.S. Senate race, should any Democrat win a statewide contest in November, Thurmond will deserve a spot on the victory stage.

Thurmond wants out of politics so he is doing the 'suicide by cop' thing as a face saving measure. He'll beat Isakson the same day pigs fly. I'm not knocking the man, but it is just not going to happen.

Thurmond has been a class act as Labor Commissioner during a tough time for employment in our State. Democrat or Republican we need to attract more dedicated public servants to politics and less self serving politicians.
However, it will be a tough year for any Democrat in the general election. (The first off year election after a new Presidency is always tough on the Presidents party).

Commissioner Thurmond will represent Georgia quite well. I like my elected officials versed in real world-dom– you know the ones who know what it means to HAVE to work for a living, and have family members and friends of all social strata so they really know what's going on. Folks like that make and support policies that contribute to the common good.
The person who writes that anyone associated with President Obama won't do well in Georgia has a tone of boastfulness. However, it is exactly that type of sentiment that has others throughout the country and the world view Georgia as a bastion of backwoods, racist bigotry.

@sam&linda, I know you. You're the folks that got thrown out of the department of labor because you're sorry government workers that want something for nothing. you're the folks that could care less about helping people. So I guess you will be telling Isakson, how you got over. Thurmond transformed the Labor Department so individuals can get back to work. Unfortunately, that was not your agenda during your tenure. You wanted to be paid attention. Well, you were paid by my tax dollars–that should be enough!

Thurmond's gamble is no gamble at all. He loses, he gets a new job in DC. If the President can endorse Hank Johnson in a primary, he will give Thurmond a job in Dec. Guaranteed. Who wouldn't like those odds? And I'm not surprised that Thurmond decided to get in the race while sitting near an old outhouse. All of this smells.

The first time homebuyer credit was good legislation HOWEVER what have you done for me in 8 years, Johnny. It's time for you to go. Your pink slip is on the way! Not to mention,just for the fact that you've tried to work to enhance our Job position in Georgia and not vote with the Party of NO…you have our votes. HANDS DOWN!

UNDATED (WSAU) -- Officials from the Internal Revenue Service are reminding young people with their first summer jobs to keep an eye on their finances and be prepared to pay taxes.
IRS Spokesman Christopher Miller says the basic thing to know is you should be ready to pay taxes. "Overall students who are working this summer need to know that money you earn doing work for others is almost always taxable." That includes long term jobs at a retailer or food service, as well as self-employment like working as a babysitter or cutting lawns.
Students should also expect to have parts of their check withheld to pay for their taxes. "You will need to fill out a W4, and that is the form for employee's withholding. And that means your employer will use it to figure out how much federal income tax to withhold from your pay."
Young people on their jobs may have to file tax returns this year for the first time as well. "That threshold is around 10-thousand dollars. So if you make 10-thousand dollars at your summer job, you're likely going to have to fill out a tax return and include that income on your tax return." Even if you aren't required to file taxes, if your employer is withholding pay for taxes, you'll want to be able to get a tax refund.
The IRS has help for young workers available on their website at www.irs.gov.

Apple: Like or Follow?
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) victory over rival/partner/co-dependent Samsung has sparked a lot of discussion. A great deal of that discussion centers on the nuts and bolts of the decision itself and how it will affect Samsung, who cannot peddle 8 different devices to consumers in the U.S. who obviously want to purchase them. But that misses the point, entirely. Ultimately patent and intellectual property arguments end up where we are, with a court injunction against one company doing business and consumers being materially harmed in the process and other, inferior players, getting a leg up in the process. The speculation here is that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) will benefit from this ruling.
Apple's success with its products has been a brilliant mixture of clever and empowering marketing and unsurpassed style. They built computers and devices that were designed with care about how we interact with them, conforming to us not the other way around. Apple has always been about pushing the user experience to facilitate your greatness, similar to how Nike markets their shoes, which is what has allowed them to sell at premium price things that really are just commodities.
Now they are the company that is telling consumers that those lofty ideals only matter as long as Apple is the one they choose to achieve greatness. There are a myriad of reasons why a person buys a Samsung Galaxy Something over an iPhone X and it isn't just the look and feel of the object. Many people, in fact most people, are not willing to pay Apple's premium. And, so for that reason, they will now be punished by Apple in the marketplace by using the government to restrict choices.
It seems this is fundamentally at odds with their marketing message.
It also feels like a sign that Apple is not interested in building great products first and leading the way in the darkness but rather has run out of good ideas and is now putting up a moat around their existing business, stooping to the same level of cronyism that other hated companies of the past (and present) have done.
In the fashion industry there is not intellectual property protection. The top designers are the top designers because they are simply better than their competition. As artistic industries go fashion is orders of magnitudes bigger than those that squabble over IP issues, like music, TV and Film. They welcome knock-offs sold in Target and Wal-Mart because it highlights the differences in quality for those they are selling to, which is not everyone. The stratification of the industry is based on merit and a willingness to continually create the new and without the competition the designers would become stale. Apple is not a company marketing to those lacking ambition; they are a company targeting those striving to become more. But this design lawsuit says they no longer feel like they can keep them.
Modern patent fights in the technology arena are becoming tiresome for consumers. For companies that realize they are not great at turning great ideas into great products patent licensing is a means by which everyone wins. Microsoft's revenue stream from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is a perfect example of this. The boys from Redmond get a small cut, Google makes money selling ads and apps, and Samsung et. al. have a platform to sell phones and tablets. All of that exists because Microsoft was willing to accept a $10-15 license fee for their idea.
This lawsuit says that Apple is becoming ordinary and as just another ordinary company it now needs to be valued as one. Investors should take note that this may be the biggest Pyrrhic victory since Netscape's anti-trust lawsuit versus Microsoft.
IP issues like this will ultimately stifle technology. This ruling will bring the same level of innovation to technology that exists in movies and TV vs. fashion.

Inspector Wolf The old lady was dead. I could smell it before I even got into the house. The whole place reeked of adrenaline, sweat, fear, copper and steel. He'd dropped her right in her living room. Chopped and chopped until she stopped moving. But I could tell I was getting close. This had been done in a hurry, and the killer didn't have the time to clean up after himself like he usually did.
Across the room, the phone rang. The shrill sound set my teeth to grinding, but I ignored it. Instead I followed the killer's bloody footprints into the back bedroom. He'd climbed out the window. If I hurried, I could catch up to him and end this disgusting spree he was on.
Then the answering machine kicked in. "Hi, Gramma! It's Red. Sorry I'm running late. I kind of lost track of time. But don't worry. I packed the picnic and I'm heading out the door right now. Love you."

RAM usage on my site is kinda high, with only have like 10 active members on ever once in a while. 5
I was on a shared account, and BuddyPress trampled that, but that was alright because I was of course in need of an VPS, but now the RAM usage is catching up. Perhaps I have too many processes running (50!) or something; or is it somehow because of BuddyPress and the almost-20 plugins I have installed (most are just small plugins, though)? Can I somehow optimize my site (allmad dot org) so it uses less RAM?
Usage is below:
Disk Usage: 13% (5.4 GB of 40 GB Used / 34.6 GB Free)

Mainland Attractions
We've been hangin' on the beach a lot lately (it is summertime afterall) but as fall approaches, we're hearing the call of the mainland, and, well, reality. This week, we took our roving eyes to the mainland for some coffee, and of all things, a Ke$ha concert.
Liz Ferrer

Liz has a certain joie de vivre that shines through in her party time-ready attire. We caught her looking cute at Lester's in Wynwood at the Moustache Ride Comedy night this past Wednesday. She purchased the '90s-inspired floral baby doll dress at Target and bought the Mudd denim jacket at a thrift store and smartly crafted it into a hip little rock 'n' roll vest. Totally trendy with a twist!
© Liz Tracy / MFbThe actress and MAC makeup artist was looking adorable in her signature red lipstick and OPI blue nail polish, a color called "Don't Mess with Opi."
Nina Johnson-Milewski
© Liz Tracy / MFb
Nina always looks like a million bucks. Founder of Gallery Diet, she rocks the most low key, elegant looks every time we see her. She was in stylish safari gear at her husband's bar and coffee shop, Lester's. Nina's laid back tank top and gaucho-like pants were dressed up with black booty sandal leather heels.

Her owl necklace, which says "C'est Chouette" is right! Carved from wood, it adds a touch of the rustic outdoors to urban chic Miami.
Jacqueline Falcone

Jacqueline is an artist who works at Legal Art. She brought a casual hip vibe to Lester's. Her Target grandpa sweater was a sale item that works perfectly on her tall frame.

The shoes complete the outfit with their wedge heel, a score from Old Navy, adding Oxford class a pair of black skinnies.
Denise Victoria
© Liz Tracy / MFb
Denise drove down from Tampa, where she's attending school to become a librarian, with the sole purpose of watching Ke$ha onstage.
The classiest chick at the concert, her adorable Forever 21 dress with puff skirt caught us by surprise. The look was accented with a simple silver bracelet. The black floral on red was sexy, but not trashy (which, for a Ke$ha concert, is saying something).

Her shoes are all vegan. They might look like leather, but these are made by MooShoes, a brand based out of Brooklyn that uses synthetic materials to create a leather look that's "cruelty free" and "animal approved."

Here we have the brilliant Steven Moffat. Unpopular opinion or not, I love the way he thinks about revealing the answers, about making everything so complicated. Sure, he's the ultimate troll, he plays with our minds, but isn't this why we like him so much?
Taken from Doctor Who Confidential for "A Good Man Goes to War" {*}
Um, no that's why I hate him. I was just talking yesterday about it… in earlier seasons, the story seems almost perfectly put together, in an order that the audience can understand, while still keeping the mystery. Moffat's methods are jumbled and confusing, intentionally, and I don't find that clever. He tries to make his storylines more epic by making them confusing as FUCK until the very last minute, where someone's emotions ONCE AGAIN defeat super alien technology. I'm tired of the same old shit.

Swedes aren't the only ones capable of penning cinema-friendly suspense novels. Deadline reports that Summit Entertainment has snapped up the English-language rights to Headhunters, the bestselling novel by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø. The book, about a corporate headhunter whose financial woes drive him to dabble in art theft, has already produced a hit film in Norway.
Headhunters is one of eight Nesbø novels centering on the adventures of headstrong detective Harry Hole, whose name will presumably be changed for the U.S. release.

Judge T S Nandhakumar of the Special Court, formed under the Protection of Civil Rights (SC/ST) Act, also sentenced Katturaja (32) and Vettum Perumal (33) to five terms of life imprisonment to be run consecutively.
In his order yesterday, the Judge slapped a fine of Rs 2.5 lakh on each of them.
According to prosecution, Katturaja suspected that his 29-year old wife Subbulakshmi had an illicit affair with one Jayakumar, a caretaker of a farm house at Meenavankulam near Kalakaadu in the District.
He informed his close relative Perumal about his suspicion. Both of them hatched a plot to murder Jayakumar. On April 19, 2007, the duo went to the farm house and hacked to death Jayakumar after a chase. Later, they hacked Jayakumar\'s wife who tried to protect her husband.
Though Indhira (11) and Chitra (8), daughters of the couple, bolted themselves inside the house aghast at witnessing the murders, Katturaja and Perumal broke open the door and killed them also.
The sensational quadruple murder sent shock waves in the area then. Police had arrested The special judge said the prosecution had proved the brutal murders, including that of young and innocent girl children and the innocent wife of Jayakumar.

I chose this lamp for its clean modern design and its ability to produce a lot of light by accepting up to a 150W bulb. While it delivers on both these fronts, the quality is not what I would expect.
The base is essentially an unfinished weight disc (dumbbell plate) with a cover on top that doesn't entirely reach the floor leaving part of the disc exposed. The shade has a large visible seam and sits slightly canted as opposed to level with the floor. The switch is plastic and wiggles within its housing.

Featured Story
Investing in Defense Stocks: Why Lockheed Martin (LMT) Is Too Big to FailLast year when Congress formed its much-lauded "Supercommittee" to sort out America's debt crisis, there was a lot of handwringing about draconian budget cuts.
But true to form, on the eve of an election year, our politicians did nothing and the sequestration clock began to tick.
In essence, they made the bold move to kick the can down the road.
The problem is if the clock is allowed to keep ticking, those same draconian cuts will happen anyway.
No industry is more aware of this than the defense sector.
For them it is literally like turning a battleship - the major players need a lot of lead time to readjust their bearings.
So it's no surprise that the defense sector, which has a budget bigger than the combined defense budgets of at least the next 30 countries in the world, is worried more than most about significant cuts.
And when corporate execs worry, so does Wall Street.
But somehow, I think the military industrial complex will survive. For investors, it will be all about picking the right players.
Investing in Defense Stocks: Lockheed Martin's Big AdvantageOne of them is Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT).
As the great military strategist Sun Tzu once said, "Opportunities multiply as they are seized."
Today, there is no company better at seizing opportunities than Lockheed Martin.

If you can't wait to check out Back from the Dead , the debut album of former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler 's new band, Adler , you're in luck. RollingStone.com is currently streaming every song from the release on its website.
Back from the Dead arrives in stores on Monday and contains 11 tracks, featuring guest appearances by Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 and Adler's former GnR bandmate, Slash . "I got to the point where I was able to make a new record and Slash was proud of me for how I've taken care of myself," Adler tells Rolling Stone . "The negative crap from GnR was in the past and we were living for today and in the future. I couldn't be happier."
Adler adds that he has some long-term plans for the band and is looking forward to hitting the road to promote the new release next year. "My goal is to take this band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 25 years," he notes. "I want to be part of a team, like the Rolling Stones , Aerosmith or Rush . Those guys are buddies and they love making music together. It's cool to be part of a gang."

Wow - I've never had to spend so much time in line waiting for customs clearance! We arrived around 11:30, and didn't get on board until just after 1:00pm. I'd recommend boarding later if you can be patient, as I've heard the lines get shorter as it gets later. The actual passing through customs was a breeze - we didn't even need to complete an immigration form, but it took a long time to get there.
Ship & Cabins
We heard that the Zuiderdam is going to dry dock for a few weeks at the end of the season - it really needs some upgrades. The cabins are well-used - lots of corrosion on the balcony doors and railings, and the bathroom and furnishings show a lot of wear. The public spaces, though, looked great, and the ship ran like a dream. We didn't make use of the spa or gym, but ate in all of the restaurants, and enjoyed most of the public spaces.
Service & Activities
The ship's crew is as friendly and solicitous as always. The entertainment was enjoyable, and there was always lots of activities to choose from. The offerings in the Computer Lab are more varied, and the Alaskan-themed info sessions - some given by Alaskan park rangers were very much appreciated. The food was as good as always - lots of selection - even more selection in the lido than there has been previously. The service in the main dining room was quite slow at times - and sometimes we had to wait as much as an hour for a table with as you wish dining. We will choose a set seating on our next cruise.
Ports of Call
This was a nice change from Caribbean ports - we did a ship excursion in Ketchikan, and booked two private excursions. There was plenty of time in the ports, and a good selection of things to do. The ship talks about the ports were informative. There is quite an animosity between the ship's "guaranteed shops" and the shops that are not "recommended" - in Juneau, they even put signs in their windows about kickbacks given to cruise ships.

Does Anyone Else Have Problems W/ Nuts?

^ walnuts also have a lot of omega 3s though. For some reason they broke me out though... I've had macadamias before, though I don't remember if they caused any problems and I'm scared to eat more nuts
A lot of ALA, which is pretty useless for the most part.
And it certainly doesn't have enough Omega-3s to counteract the Omega-6s.
Plus some phytic acid thrown into the mix. Non-animal sources of omega-3 are crappy.

I definitley break out from nuts, and i think it's to do with digestion. Your digestion must be spot on to not break out from it i believe. Shouldn't consume much of it though anyway, it really is a snack food and nothing else.
If macademias were to be good, i'd love to have a spread from it for now and then.

For Immediate Release:
May 31, 2004
Media Available
Jenny Slafkosky (415) 528-4367
ASCII Code as a Medium of Artistic Expression
Premieres at the Exploratorium
March 4 – May 31, 2004
A genetically modified plant whose leaves, ironically, express what it means to be human, is at the center of a newly commissioned artwork by internationally recognized artist Eduardo Kac, who is noted for provocative artworks that appropriate the tools of computers. It premieres in Move 36, a new installation commissioned by the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and is on view March 4-May 31, 2004.
The title of the installation refers to the dramatic move made by IBM computer Deep Blue against world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997. Center-stage in the installation is a large-scale chessboard composed of alternating squares of dark earth and white sand. On the square exactly where Deep Blue made its fateful move sits the genetically modified plant. The plant has been modified with a synthetic gene whose four DNA bases have been ingeniously translated from the most common binary computer code, ASCII, to represent Descartes's famous statement, "Cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am.").
The Cartesian gene, made specifically for this work, was created from the translation of Descartes's statement into the genetic bases (A, C, G, T) by associating these bases with binary digits — A=00, C=01, G=10, T=1 — resulting in a gene with 52 base pairs. Some of the leaves of the plant will appear smooth, as in the wild. The Cartesian gene, however, is expressed as curly leaves. Through genetic modification, the link between the Cartesian gene and curly leaves allows the naked eye to see precisely where the synthetic gene is expressed.
Move 36
According to Kasparov, Deep Blue's quintessential moment in Game Two came at Move 36, because rather than making a move that was expected by viewers and commentators alike — a sound move that would have afforded immediate gratification — it made a move that was subtle and conceptual and, in the long run, better. Kasparov could not believe that a machine had made such a keen move. The game, in his mind, was lost.
The work, which captures what Kac describes as "the match between the best player that ever was against the best player that never was," is presented in conjunction with Traits of Life, a major new Exploratorium permanent collection, and is made possible by the National Science Foundation, with partial funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and Creative Capital.
For Kac, the presence of this Cartesian gene in the plant, rooted precisely where the human lost to the machine, points to the tenuous borders between humanity, inanimate objects endowed with life-like qualities, and living organisms that encode digital information. Video projections on two opposing walls evoke the two chess opponents in absentia.
