Couldn't he just have sent a nice card?
Photo Courtesy of Twitter.com
Last month (well, technically last year), "misguided" movie star Shia LaBeouf was caught plagiarizing material from graphic-novel god Daniel Clowes. Bad move, right? Then, to make matters worse, the dolt plagiarized his apology for said thievery. Got all that? Well, hold on, because things get even weirder. Yesterday, on New Year's Day, Shia hired a skywriter to fly over Los Angeles and write the message "I am sorry Daniel Clowes." He then tweeted said apology for all the world to see. Seems Shia really wants everyone to know that he feels really bad about the situation, perhaps because word is out that Clowes is considering legal action. Looks like Shia is just making mistake after mistake, but hey, at least he didn't hire this guy to spread his message…

I got the Petzl corax after using an Edelrid logan. The corax is noticeably heavier with much thicker padding and buckles. The design was very comfortable for me, and has worked very well for gym climbing and at an outdoor climbing gym. What sets the corax apart from almost any other harness I looked at before making my purchase was the adjustability. The small size fits waists 23 to 33 inches. This means that I can lend it out to friends when I take them climbing. They have a very comfortable quality harness instead of those terrible ball crunching gym harnesses. It has fit everybody I know comfortably from my wife to my big ex-army cousin.
Terrific mid-range harness. Comfortable enough for long pitches, light enough as well. Plenty of room for gear, adjustable legs for outdoor, it just has it all.One flaw, kind of a bitch to lock down your waist strap, I've seen better designs here. But whatever, takes like 3 seconds to get used to.You should buy this.
I love my Petzl harness, its is comfortable, easy to adjust and overall a great harness. My first harness was a Black Diamond Momentum AL, and although it served me well, I just recently upgraded to this one. It is much more comfortable than my black diamond one, especially though the legs. It is also easier to maneuver in and its nice that this one is pre-double backed and it tightens on both sides of your hips instead of just one. I would recommend spending the extra $20 and getting this harness over the Black Diamond Momentum AL, this is a really good harness.
This harness is very comfortable to wear compared to the standard gym harness that is typically twisted beyond straightening out. Fits comfortably around the waist and you hardly notice that you are wearing a harness.Since my waist is big compared to my skinnier legs , most harnesses that fit my waist did not also adjust down to fit my legs. A beginner should buy a pair of shoes first but this is an excellent investment for personal comfort. This harness can be used by a very diverse range of experiences from beginner to expert.
I really love this harness. I have used this harness for both sport and Trad climbing and it worked great. It is comfortable and has a lot of adjustment but still make sure to carefully check the size guide because I have tried on a size 2 and even though I about fit in the range for the 2 I needed a 1. The only complaints I have about this harness is I wish the back to gear loops were stiff like front 2 and I would like if it had a larger haul loop.
I got this harness for the wide range of people it can fit. It fits nicely on my girlfriend who is tiny, and on my friends who are big. is is a bit on the heavier side with the double buckle, and it feels like thicker webbing then most. It can also be a little confusing to put on at times, it seems to twist a lot in your bag.
Every thing is awesome except for the leg straps twist very easily while putting it on. Otherwise comfortable, light, and went for the larger one so a lot of range for wearing it over thicker clothes when necessary.
I've been using the harness for a couple years, and it is leaps and bounds better than the loaners I had resorted to before. When I sport climb, it's got more than enough gear loop space to hold me in good stead. The padding is not thick, but the wide straps distribute my weight very comfortably. Super quick on and off, with the buckle in the back and the pre-doubled-back waist strap. Only complaint is no sliding loop to deal with very end of loose straps, but really is nothing to complain about.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rude Rude This Hotel is beautiful inside and out. It is an excellent location for weddings. The guest services staff was rude. I felt unwelcomed due to my StarHot rate. I reserved queen double beds but received cots instead. I was charged for the cot which was later rudely refunded. My room was never cleaned or trash emptied during my stay. I made 3 requests for clean towels. Finally I requested the towels from a guest services attendant on the floor, he behaved as if I was bothering him.

I filled out the hotel's survey after our stay and they offered us a 2nd chance and complimentary stay on them. At first we were hesitant to return, but upon our arrival they placed us in a junior suite and it was great! Super comfy bed, clean, great view, and we loved our room's layout. They really redeemed themselves and we are now happy customers! They didn't have to do this, but the hotel staff really cared to make sure we were satisfied. July 25, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruby20 Billing error I was a guest of the Platt Randazzo wedding and I was charged the wrong price and I am still waiting for a credit. I was lied to from the staff when I arrived and our wedding gift bag was not in our room, I asked the staff if I was charged the wedding fee of $119.00 and they said our fee was $2.30 cheaper than the wedding fee. We were charged $165.65. When we met with family yesterday they told us what they paid. I called the hotel and the desk said they would take care of it and I have not received my credit. I called again this morning and now I am still waiting for a manager to call me. So I am not happy to be cheated. April 14, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 AVERAGE WEEKEND STAY POSITIVES:I love this hotel for my weekend stays. The staff is amazing and the location is beautiful. There were two weddings this weekend at this location NEGATIVES: This is a popular location for weddings in summer especially Indian weddings wherein a few hundred people converge upon this property creating total havoc. The elevators are hard to access during these times as hundreds of people can be in line and it might be a while before you reach your room. There a 3 elevators numbered 9. 10, 11 and they have limited capacity. The wedding invitees tend to cram in there like sardines making the situation dangerous. CLUB LOUNGE: When there are weddings at this hotel the quality of club lounge food deteriorates and I noticed it during this visit. The cheese was stale and tasted awful and the fruit was also stale. This NEVER happens on other weekends. The club lounge also had a stench of cheap ladies perfume as the wedding invitees had used the lounge until 1800 hrs on one day as their personal dressing room. The club bathroom smelled horribly too. In addition some guy walked into the club lounge with a ton load of alcohol bottles stating that he wanted 20 people to party in the club lounge and wanted to empty the lounge fridge to store his alcohol. The club lounge attendant informed him that it was not possible to party in the lounge but he insisted that the front desk had approved it. The front desk had to be called for clarification. All this transpired while there were children in the lounge. JUNIOR SUITES ON 20TH FLOOR: The junior suites on the 20th floor are NOT at par with the suites located on the 21st and 22nd floor. Hairdryer in 2015 had steam oozing out of it and I was very scared to use it. I reported it to the staff but unfortunately it could not be replaced. The staff is amazing but were very busy on this weekend. Overall this is a great hotel and in a beautiful location which you will enjoy. I just wanted fellow SPG members to be aware of the pros and cons. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 ANOTHER FABULOUS STAY This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. ROOMS; Have beautiful mountain views. Thank you for upgrading me to a JUNIOR SUITE. LOCATION: The hotel structure is magnificent and it is located in beautiful Bergen County, New Jersey amidst mountains. GARDEN: It is one of the prettiest garden ever with a magnificent and majestic fountain. Multiple Canadian geese flock here. WEDDINGS: This hotel is VERY popular wedding destination. Beautiful and colorful Indian weddings can be seen here during wedding season. DINING; Fountain View restaurant has great food with beautiful views and the staff is friendly. STAFF; Very friendly and helpful. Thank you Jonathan, Lisa, Makeda, Kathy, Christine and others. CLUB LOUNGE: Located on the 22nd floor. It has beautiful views of Bergen County and fantastic food. TRANSPORTATION: You have to have a car here otherwise you will be stuck at the hotel. If you choose not to rent a car then just take a cab to Ramsey Route 17 Train Station. The New Jersey Transit has multiple trains running on this line. If you wish to go to New York City then take a train to SECAUCUS and transfer to another train to NEW YORK 34th STREET PENN STATION. There is a lot to do in Manhattan on foot. The train ride will be about 1 hour 10 minutes including the transfer. The trains also go from Ramsey Route 17 to HOBOKEN. You can go and meet the Cake Boss on Washington Street in Hoboken. Its walking distance from Hoboken Terminus. From Hoboken you can also take the PATH train to Manhattan. NEWARK AIRPORT (EWR): Ramsey Route 17 to Secaucus and transfer to trains stopping at the airport. If you check the monitors there will be a tiny airplane sign next to the train number indicating that all trains with that sign stop that the airport. NEW YORK JFK AIRPORT: Ramsey Route 17 to Secaucus transfer to New York 34th Street Penn Station. Take New York City Subway A train to HOWARD BEACH. From Howard Beach you can board the AIRTRAIN to all terminals. This is the cheapest and quickest way to JFK. NEW YORK LA GUARDIA (LGA) AIRPORT: Ramsey Route 17 to Secaucus Transfer train to New York 34th street Penn Station. Take a cab to LGA. It will cost about 35 bucks and is the quickest way. You can also take a shuttle that cost $13 but will take about 2 hours as you have to transfer at Grand Central Terminal. OVERALL: One of my favorite SPG hotels and I love it. October 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by 9324 Nice stay Beautiful location and nice Place for Wedding ceremony. I enjoy the hotel, and all function ... July 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by FreezingShower Cold Showers Without advanced warning, the hotel performed maintenance on the water system. The note under the door explained that the water would be shut off for 2 hours in the afternoon. After running brown water and sediment through all of the faucets, I did not have hot water. The next morning, I still did not have any hot water so I was forced to endure an ice cold shower. Several folks from our company did not have hot water for at least two days and therefore were unable to shower at all. There was no warning, no information regarding when the hot water would return, and no mention of compensation, not even some extra SPG points! Poorly communicated, poorly handled. November 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rude Highly Disappointed This is an absolutely beautiful location and excellent for weddings. However, guest services was very rude. I felt unwelcomed due to my StarHot rate. My reservations were for double beds; I received cots in which I was also billed for and eventually rudely refunded. This has been the worse experience with Starwoods personnel in all my stays. My room was never cleaned and when requested clean towels the attendant acted as if I was disturbing him. June 25, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne4911 Clean hotel Room was clean, staff responsive, pool cold, but hot tube great July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by fenny the hotel is comfortable the hotel was lovely and the staff was excellent. There were only 2 things I didn't care for. One was a billing problem. Apparently they didn't charge some guests, but then put those charges on my son and his father in law's cards. And they did overcharge my other son by $60.00. They really messed that up. The other was the club that opens on Sat. night. The place was fine (although outdated), but the music was horrible and sent many of us back to our rooms. We were really hoping to enjoy an after party, but that just didn't cut it. Otherwise the accomodations and staff were terrific. The bellhop is a sweetheart. He did his job with a big smile. I would stay here again. October 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jralr Overbooking issues and lack of SPG Recognition Got there around 2pm after driving 2.5 hours. Realized that it was early to check in but tried anyway. Found out that out of the 3 rooms I booked 6 months in advance and prepaid, told 1 room was not available as a double like I booked. Given run around that someone wanted to extend their stay. Knowing how the person in room cannot legally be kicked out, it was still not my problem. I booked 6 months in advanced. However they still managed to "accomodate us" after some run around. as far as other 2 rooms, told they were not ready and check-in is at 3pm. I asked if my SPG did me any good but I guess it didn't. 3pm came and went. After waiting in the lobby for over an hour after check-in time, with not so much as a water of a status update, it wasn't until my elder parents went up and asked why the delay was so long that we finally got our rooms. And I didn't even try the restaurant because of reviews from people that ate there stating prices too high for the quality. Too bad because it was a mighty comfortable stay, which along with SPG points/miles program and the awesome beds are the main reasons why I stay at SPG family hotels. July 2, 2014

COEUR D'ALENE-- The Coeur d'Alene Police Department has strapped on body mounted video cameras onto every patrol officer.
Officer Josh Sterling has been with the Coeur d'Alene Police Department for one year.
Sterling turns on his body mounted video camera every time he pulls someone over or responds to a call.
Sterling is one of 40 Coeur d'Alene Patrol Officers now equipped with a third eye. The camera records the job from their perspective.
Sterling said he has seen it change the way people act towards him. "It has changed some of their attitude. Once they know they are being recorded, they kind of have a different view on the way they are going to talk and things like that."
At the end of every shift, officers wearing the body cameras, download the video and audio from the day's shift.
The 40 cameras cost the Couer d'Alene department about $36,000.
The Spokane Police Department testing out 4 models.

There's beating castles thereof much Loyal's
Whence where we whom are loved linger longest,
Love renders we feeling as though Royal's;
Witnessed often our souls glowing strongest.
Yes - love thereof all its divinity,
For love is the host enchanting we all
Therein our hearts - love enthroned entity
Renders we feeling so giantly tall.
Entitlements: Baby - Darling - Honey,
Sometimes we knock - sometimes answer the door,
Love more meaningful than material money;
Oh - so knocks love in the form of splendor!
Effortlessly how love erases our frowns;
Sometimes we display our hearts as though crowns.

Stating At $110.00
Mini Split HVAC
Super Blowout
WhisperWall ENERGY STAR؟ through-the-wall fanfeature a totally enclosed AC condenser motors for long-life, energy efficiency and quiet operation. A durable wall cap with a built-in back draft damper is included. Can be used to comply with Green building IAQ standards.
Can't Install a Fan in the Ceiling? Don't WorryThis WhisperWall fan was designed specifically for through-the-wall mounting to provide ventilation in rooms where a ceiling mounted fan is not possible. An exterior hood with a backdraft damper is included to finish off the job.
This fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.
This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.

Toshiba develops contact image-sensor module for recognition of banknotes
Toshiba Corporation announced that it will enter the linear image-sensor market for banknote recognition applications, a high growth business. The company has developed a contact image-sensor module (CISM) for banknote recognition as its first product, and mass production is scheduled for June 2013.
Toshiba has cultivated a linear image-sensor business with products for scanning applications, such as MFPs and text and image scanners, and sensing applications, such as barcode readers. The company has now broadened its portfolio in the sensing field with a linear image-sensor that offers approximately four times the infrared sensitivity of existing Toshiba products. The new linear sensor is a CISM integrated with the new sensors and it will be promoted as a solution that meets the Chinese government's enhanced requirements for banknote recognition systems, under the national standard "GB16999-2010".

eMeter Unveils Energy Engage TM, Consumer Engagement Software that Connects Consumers and Utilities to Drive Smart Grid Conservation;
PowerCentsDCTM Among the First to Deploy Free, Easy to Use Online Resource to its Electricity Customers
San Mateo, CA (June 24, 2009) -eMeter Corporation, the global leader in Smart Grid management software, today unveiled Energy EngageTM, an online, consumer engagement solution that encourages conservation by enabling users to understand the relationship between energy consumption, cost and carbon output. Pilot participants with PowerCentsDC will be the first to actively manage their home energy consumption with Energy Engage. PowerCentsDC is a public-private partnership program backed by Pepco and consumer and regulatory bodies in Washington D.C. that is testing how much electricity consumers can save using key Smart Grid technologies.
Utilities have been investing in smart metering technology to lower operating costs, offer faster customer service and provide consumers with billing options and pricing that corresponds to peak demand. However, there has been little progress in engaging end users to realize the benefits of this technology. Energy Engage encourages behavioral change among customers by helping them understand how their energy consumption levels impacts not only their wallets, but also the environment.
Energy Engage uniquely empowers utility companies to help consumers manage their home energy usage with, for the first time, accurate daily billing information, real-time event driven alerts to budget variations and access to local community guidance and advice.
"To fully realize the benefits of Smart Grid technologies, utilities must engage their customers more effectively for improved energy efficiency and conservation. The critical next steps are to provide better information to consumers about their usage, make them aware of opportunities for savings and get them motivated to make positive changes," said Sam Klepper, Senior Vice President and General Manager of eMeter's Consumer Energy Group. "With Energy Engage, consumers and utilities are able to benefit from a symbiotic relationship, changing passive energy users into active participants of energy conservation and management."
Leveraging Energy Engage, PowerCentsDC is investigating new pricing models and behavioral changes that can be maximized through advanced consumer engagement solutions. All participants will be able to see, for the first time, daily usage and cost updates and have summaries sent automatically by text or email, along with optional budget alerts when their usage or cost exceeds pre-set thresholds.
"We chose eMeter's Energy Engage over other options because we believe it creates a compelling, consumer-oriented experience that pushes the envelope in terms of empowering our customers to make positive changes. We expect improved conservation, customer energy efficiency and greater peak demand reductions," said Rick Morgan, Commissioner of the District of Columbia Public Service Commission and Chair of the Smart Meter Pilot Program, Inc.

Benefit to Utilities
Consumer engagement is critically important for utilities to reap the full benefits of the Smart Grid. With an integrated engagement solution that leverages data traditionally used for billing, utilities are better able to offer consumers an easy to use tool that encourages closer collaboration on reducing peak demand and increasing energy conservation. Energy Engage bridges utilities with customers to monitor energy consumption levels with compelling tools that motivate change and increase energy efficiency.
While first generation web portals typically have provided online bill access and simple tips, Energy Engage gives utilities an online solution for their customers to monitor energy consumption levels together with a variety of tools to enable long term behavior change, including text and email alerts, trusted advice from industry experts, and community building including local advice and views of how their energy consumption compares to others in their neighborhood.
Benefit to Consumers
Energy Engage will be available to consumers through their utility company as a free, online resource that provides unprecedented transparency into their home energy consumption. Providing detailed yet digestible information on energy consumption levels, Energy Engage illustrates the relationship between usage, cost and environmental impact. Consumers will benefit from more insight and control over their energy use, including notifications of power outages, tools to budget energy bills, and industry and community tips on lowering costs.
The development of a consumer engagement solution is a natural progression for eMeter, the global leader in Smart Grid data management. Leveraging the company's operational understanding of utility infrastructure, Energy Engage ensures the most accurate and meaningful consumer communication of usage, cost and environmental impact. By integrating sophisticated Web 2.0 user interface and behavioral activation techniques, Energy Engage entices consumer involvement and motivates them to make behavioral changes to lower energy consumption and costs.
About eMeter:
With over 24 million meters under contract, eMeter enables electric, gas and water utilities to realize the full benefits of their AMI and Smart Grid initiatives, through the eMeter Smart Grid Management software suite. eMeter's experienced professional services team can help ensure project success, as well as provide strategic consulting services for meter data management, advanced metering and demand response. www.emeter.com.

CINCINNATI, OH (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers could not hold a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, and they lost at Cincinnati Thursday afternoon, 2-1. The loss weakened Milwaukee's already-slim playoff chances. They're now four games behind Saint Louis for the final National League Wild Card spot with six to play. Carlos Gomez homered in the third inning today, and that was the only scoring until the ninth, when Todd Frazier tied the game with a two-out solo homer. Jay Bruce singled. And then Dioner Navarro hit a walk-off double, as the Reds won the series over the Brew Crew 2 games to 1. John Axford blew a save opportunity and took the loss. He's 5-8. Reds' closer Jonathan Broxton got the win. Milwaukee would have to sweep its remaining six games - all at home – while the Saint Louis Cardinals would have to lose at least four of their final six. The Cards are off today. The L-A Dodgers would also have to lose some games for the Brew Crew to make the post-season. The Dodgers remain three and a half behind the Cards, pending their game at San Diego tonight. A more realistic goal for the Brewers might be to finish above .500. They'll only need to win two of their final six contests to finish above the break-even point. The Crew will host Houston Friday night.

Funny Happy 125th, The Statue Of Liberty!
The president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, visited the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor last week to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, which was donated by France. Sarkozy, accompanied by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, stepped off a ferry and addressed a small crowd of dignitaries in a courtyard on Liberty Island, the statue rising up behind them. "It is not simply a statue," Sarkozy said in French, according to a translator. "It is a notion, an idea, an emblem. It is for all people of the world." To celebrate the 125th birthday of the Statue of Liberty, photoshop it any way you wish. E.g. show how it could be installed in other locations throughout the world, how it could live a life among us and what hobbies it could have. These are just some ideas. Many thanks to GarRobMil for the contest concept.

A collection of music from 60's and 70's will be added regularly by djkit & djfanis EST. March 12, 2007
Monday, July 19, 2010
"Screamin' Jay Hawkins-Feast Of The Mau Mau-1969-70 US (1988 Edsel Records)":
"Feast of Mau Mau" combines two Hawkins albums dating from 1969 and 1970.The first half comprises "What That Is", recorded live at a North Hollywood club with two different ensembles. Hawkins not only made his living performing live, but he also flourished on stage-as these recordings make quite abundantly clear."What That Is" finds Hawkins in the company of some stellar and sympathetic accompanists, including drummer Earl Palmer, bass player Lyle Ritz, guitarist Herb Ellis, and pianist Grahame Bond.
The second half of this set was originally released as a self-titled album in 1970. It's a bracing mix of swampy grooves, rockabilly carousing, soulful blues, and flat-out screaming. Hawkins' roots include doo-wop and jump blues, but he throws it all into a stew completely of his own making. A bold personality, Hawkins imbues his songs with complete and undeniable commitment.

Welcome to this video looking at 170 years of industrial changes in England and Wales.
First, using these graphs, we will look at the percentage of the workforce that work in each of the main industries in 1841 and 2011. As we can see, in 1841, 36% worked in manufacturing, 33% worked in services and 22% worked in agriculture and fishing. However, in 2011, the majority of the workforce, 81%, worked in services. Manufacturing and agriculture and fishing now account for just 9% and 1% respectively.
Moving down we can use this new graph to look at the percentage of the workforce that work in each industry over the period from 1841 to 2011, the data from 1841 to 1911 covers Great Britain and from 1921 to 2011 England and Wales. Looking at agriculture and fishing over the period, over one in five worked in this industry in 1841. At every Census, that being every decade from 1841, the percentage of people working in agriculture and fishing has declined, and by 2011, less than 1 in 100 people in work were employed in this industry.
As shown earlier, in 1841, most people worked in manufacturing, closely followed by services. By 1881, the percentage of workers in services overtook those working in manufacture. From 1961, the gap between services and manufacturing started to widen at a faster rate than since 1881. By 2011, over 8 in every 10 workers were in the service industry with less than 1 in 10 in manufacturing.
Moving out we will now look at what developments have had an impact on the main industries in England and Wales. In 1801 the steam locomotive was introduced which aided the industrial revolution as it was used to propel railway locomotives, ships and road vehicles, changing the distribution of workers and goods. In 1837 the electric telegraph was developed which was used in the building of railways networks as communications could be easily relayed.
Next in 1856, there was the development of the Bessemer process which was the first method known for mass producing steel from molten pig-iron. This decreased costs and increased the scale and speed of production.
In 1876 there was the patent for liquefying gas, which would become part of the basic refrigeration technology. This meant food could be transported and stored for longer. 1884, saw the development of the steam turbine, and its invention made cheap and plentiful electricity possible.
1902 saw the Education Act passed. The importance of education was expanding around the world and Great Britain needed to keep up. 1928 was the year that penicillin was discovered, which provided safe and effective treatment for infectious diseases and changed the face of modern healthcare.
Nuclear power was first produced at Calder Hall in 1956 which was able to produce electricity in commercial quantities. In 1971 the first microprocessor was created, which would become the heartbeat of all modern day computers. Their invention has allowed low-cost computers to be created which has transformed the way many people work.
Lastly in 1989, the World Wide Web was created allowed businesses to instantaneously by connected to customers and other businesses, making them increasingly global.
Moving back out, we will now look at industry in England and Wales, and focus on 2011. The population of England and Wales in 2011 was 56.1 million, of which, 41.1 million were aged 16-74 with 26.5million of them working.
Looking at the gender breakdown for industries in 2011 we can see that 92% of working women were employed in the service industry compared to 71% of men. Moving down we can see the particular jobs that men and women worked in the service industry, and as we can see, 42% of females worked in public administration, education and health.
Lastly we will look at the distribution of men and women across these nine industries. As we can see, public administration, education and health, as well as, other services are the only industry groups for which there are more women working than men. Therefore there are more men than women in 7 of the 9 industry groups. This is most prominent in the construction industry where almost 9 out of 10 people in this industry are male.
That was 170 years of industrial change across England and Wales.

Are we on the brink of creating a human-like digital mind?
The human brain contains some 100 billion neurons, grouped in specialized function zones, connected by a hundred thousand billion synapses - the neurons representing individual data processing and storage units; and synapses the data transfer cabling, connecting all the processing units.
Correlating its processing ability to a supercomputer, it's been estimated it can perform more than 38 thousand trillion operations per second, and hold about 3.6 million gigabytes of memory. Equally impressive, it's estimated that the human brain executes this monumental computational task on a mere equivalent of 20 watts of power; about the same energy to power a single, dim light bulb. In today's technology, a supercomputer designed to deliver comparable capabilities would require roughly 100 megawatts (100 million watts) of power; an energy equivalent that could fully satisfy the power consumption needs of roughly a thousand households.
An ambitious $1.3 billion project was very recently announced in Europe to simulate a human mind in the form of a complete human brain in a supercomputer. It's named the Human Brain Project. A similar project in the U.S. planned by National Institutes of Health (NIH) is called the Brain Activity Map project.
Assuming we learn enough from these efforts to design a new architecture in computer processing which can approximate the ability of the human brain - what's to stop us from creating the cognitive faculties that enable consciousness, thinking, reasoning, perception, and judgement? After all, we as human beings develop these abilities from data we acquire over time through sensory inputs connecting us to our experiences, and from information communicated to us by others.
Think about it. Is there anything related to our experience - be it physical, historical or conceptual - that cannot be described in language, and therefore be input as executable data and programming to create a human-like digital mind?

Mar 8 2013: you wrote: "Think about it. Is there anything related to our experience - be it physical, historical or conceptual - that cannot be described in language, and therefore be input as executable data and programming to create a human-like digital mind?"
yes, there are limits to what we can describe with language....for example, how does one describe the color red to a person blind from birth? or a taste? or your emotions?
Would you elaborate as to what you mean by human-like digital mind? Also, I'm not aware of anyone in the neurosciences who would suggest we are remotely close to understanding how the mind/brain works in sufficient detail to provide a blueprint which could be mimicked in the form of a machine. And then there's consciousness - what's that all about?

She's pretty much aware that her services are always on demand, but she didn't expect to work 30 guys! One night, her "fans" got tired of waiting for her so they decided to give this chick a bang, literally! One messy gangbang scene is what you'll gonna expect in this uncensored Japanese porn exclusively here on Nipporn. This site has loads of Japanese porn videos that you can download and watch forever. Check out this awesome Japanese girl gangbang scene. Miyako did all that she can to entertain that horde of cocks that kept attacking each of her tight bangholes. She sucked and tugged one cock after another, and after getting her pussy severely ravaged, she got all the splooging right at her round, bubble ass! This is one heck of a Japanese Nude!

New Mexico had highest State unemployment rate at end of 1998
January 26, 1999
Eighteen States had unemployment rates above the seasonally-adjusted national rate of 4.3 percent in December 1998; three had rates at or above 6.0 percent. The highest unemployment rate—6.4 percent—was reported in New Mexico, followed by Hawaii (6.1 percent), West Virginia (6.0 percent), and California (5.9 percent). The District of Columbia's rate was 7.6 percent in December 1998.
[Chart data—TXT]
While the national unemployment rate fell 0.4 percentage points from December 1997 to December 1998, thirteen States experienced increases in their unemployment rates over the past year.
Arkansas and North Dakota reported the largest increase in their unemployment rates at 0.8 percentage points each. Oklahoma's unemployment rate rose 0.7 percentage points, followed by Montana (0.6), Idaho and Washington (each 0.5), and Nebraska (0.4).
These data are a product of the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program. More information can be found in news release USDL 99-19, "Regional and State Employment and Unemployment: December 1998." Comparisons of end-of-the-year national and State unemployment rates are based on seasonally adjusted December 1998 data. Year-to-year comparisons are based on changes in not seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for December 1997 and December 1998.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, New Mexico had highest State unemployment rate at end of 1998 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/jan/wk4/art02.htm (visited September 23, 2014).

I like football stadiums; I enjoy areas for athletic competition. I have been fortunate to have played in many at the NCAA level, quite a few at the NFL level, and all of them at the CFL level. Each and every one is different no matter the sport as each one brings a unique energy level.
Some are beautiful: the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for example. Some are dangerous: the old Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia comes to mind.
I'm not sure who designed Investors Group Field, the new home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but I sure get the vibe they did it right. With all due respect to those who had a fondness for Canad Inns Stadium, it was terrible. The upgrade is no different than going from the old Exhibition Stadium to the new – well, not so new anymore – Rogers Centre; there is no comparison.
Will it assist the Bombers in winning games? Tough to say; the scientific data on that is abstract at best, but it sure can't hurt. The building will be a great addition to athletics, both professional and college, and something people in Manitoba should be proud of … especially if it keeps every quarterback on the Bombers roster healthy! It's a lot to ask I know, but here's hoping.
If Buck Pierce stays upright, Winnipeg will be as good as any team; if he doesn't, they will have tough moments to overcome.
Last year's team never got into a grove. On offence they finished eighth in points, net offence, and passing yards, and seventh in second down conversion rate and red zone offence. They punted the ball more than anyone else and with a defence that regressed from a year ago, it equaled a 6-12 effort.
As much as key players make a defence, in Winnipeg coaches Tim Burke, Gary Crowton, Casey Creehan, and Craig Dickenson are a foundation that have to make the right decisions, evaluations, and assessments. They all have CFL experience and education.
If the Saskatchewan Roughriders are the "best" fans in the CFL in terms of intensity and loyalty, may I suggest that Winnipeg fans are No. 2. With the new and true home field advantage called Investors Group Field, this team has a new feel of professional football that I did not see previously.
Henoc Muamba at MLB is a star; the running back combination of Chad Simpson and Chris Garrett is a great problem; Jonathan Hefney and Alex Suber can regain their spectacular reputation if they're intensely focused and driven; and a lighter faster Buck Pierce can lead and produce if protected and smart.
It has been over 20 years since Winnipeg has won the Grey Cup, but could you imagine if they got there and did it this year? In Regina, Saskatchewan? Bombers fans would travel there, and only if the Roughriders were in the Grey Cup too would Rider fans stay. In an eight-team league, never discount a possibility.

Computers, monitors, printers, copy/fax machines and other office equipment all carry 'phantom' power while in standby mode; unplugging not only saves on energy costs but also protects equipment from possible damage should a power surge occur. Everyone deserves a little peace on Earth during the break so unplug electronics to save energy and have peace of mind. For more energy saving ideas read the article Sustainability In The Workplace.
