" So many of us are enraged about the impact of gold farming on the game we love so much, but the fact is, we need to do something real about it, not just foster a pet hatred for poor people thousands of miles away."
Um, thing is that according to the article some of these people certainly have the skills to do something else:
"On most days Li's replacement is 22-year-old Wang Huachen, who has been at this gold farm for a year, ever since he completed his university course in law. Soon, Wang told me, he will take the test for his certificate to practice, but he seems in no particular hurry to."
And the author doesn't even go into the fact that there are some American based gold sellers as well. Of course the author engaged in gold selling himself, and not only made a living but produced a book and now this series of articles. So I think I'm going to continue hating the gold farmers in an equal opportunity, multinational kind of way. Though I think I hate the hunter bots more.

5 Things to Organize With Ice Cube Trays
Sometimes the most common objects are the best problem solvers, like ice cube trays. Tucked inside a drawer or box, they can organize a multitude of small things...
• Ice cube trays are great for sorting jewelry, especially earrings.
• Store one in a drawer by your entryway and use it to sort pocket change.
• Inside a tool box, it's the ideal organizer for screws and nails.
• Use one in an office for paperclips, binder clips, rolls of stamps, and thumbtacks.
• Use them in a medicine cabinet for bobby pins, safety pins, or other odds and ends.
Bonus: They're stackable space savers.
Other ideas for organizing with ice cube trays?

a great idea for dressers with the top small (but too small!) vanity/jewellry drawers!
thanks for showing this old tip - I have some drawers I can definitely use this in.
These are good. I like the cupcake pans, too, for slightly larger items (and, here, U'm talking about the soft silicone pans). In fact, at a TJ Maxx HomeGoods I found this really cool bright green, low, segmented silicone cake pan shaped like an alligator; it's real useful for watches, cufflinks, change, etc., yet still looks like a crocodile. And they were all REAL cheap.
old egg cartons work great as well!
Great idea but I think I'd prefer the cupcake tin. Or a mini muffin tin would be nice if one could find a tin with lots of pans in it. I find ice cube trays really ugly and wouldn't even want them in a drawer. It's all I can do to make ice in them (but I do).
I second the egg carton idea - one variety of Egglands Best eggs come in a clear, plastic carton which is a little more visually appealing than an ice cube tray. I have one in one of my bathroom drawers right now that works great at holding earrings & rings!

Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta
Off-road racing game Mad Riders has a release date of May 29, and studio Techland has found a clever way to get its trailer noticed. Rather than release a video showing off the features as normal, it's released a cheeky commentary on game trailers as a whole.
The trailer pokes fun at trailer cliches like teaser-teasers and artsy slow-motion. The game is coming next week to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 for $9.99 (800 MSP).

2. VoIP Restrictions on the University Network
University regulations regarding peer-to-peer technology have been revised (18 June 2010). The University IT regulations now state:
"Use of file-sharing technology and participation in distributed file-sharing networks may be subject to additional regulation and restriction in order to prevent excessive use of university network resources, or the use of those resources for purposes unconnected with the University. If a user has any reason to suppose that an application employs peer-to-peer (p2p) or other file-sharing technology, they should seek the advice of the IT officer responsible for the college or departmental network on which they propose to use the software."
However, this does not mean that you can use any peer-to-peer application regardless. The use of peer-to-peer software/services may be restricted by local policies within individual colleges and departments. Some colleges and departments may operate a relatively lax policy, others may be extremely restrictive. Different policies may apply to wired and wireless networks owing to the differing bandwidth available. Local policy may forbid certain software or network usage irrespective of whether it uses peer-to-peer technology; You should check your own unit's policy in this area before using any peer-to-peer product or service.
This document cannot describe policies within individual units. It is each user's responsibility to ensure that they comply with any local regulations as well as University-wide rules; in the event of any queries they should ask their local IT staff.
The ICT rules regarding peer-to-peer technology are on the ICT web site.

How about this for a movie that will bring in the whole quality crowd: Leo Tolstoy. That whole business at the end of his life, with the leaving home just before dying. I agree with Mr. Scott's. review. Those identifying with Tolstoy here might consider the same end life strategy, which allows, nearly, dying in peace and at the same time offering the wife a chance to show some love rather than win the last argument.

After a 12 hour work day yesterday, I piled up in bed with left over chicken/rice casserole and was thoroughly entertained by this movie. I was so pleasantly surprised after reading Mr. Scott's review. I thought the actors were right on target and the dialogue was rich and very believable. Add to that the music, the romance, and the scenery,; what a gift!

I absolutely disagree with A.O. Scott. This is a great film, both in form and substance. Simple, vivid film, life itself. I'm very well acquainted with Leo Tolstoy's works and the works about him, and this film does great justice to the larger-than-life russian master. The negative reviews written here are just snobbish -at the worst- and ignorant -at the best- material that are just about what the great russian would have discarded. Great performances.

In the December, 2009 rush of movies, perhaps Scott was exhausted. What a great movie with wonderful acting. There should be a celebration of excellent writing, photography and acting rather than nit-picking criticism!

The consensus of critics, as I've learned over the years, often has little--if anything--to do with the caliber of the work at hand. Unfortunately too many of us, having read the review, decide against paying a visit to the movie theater, exhibit, or concert because we trust the critic's assessment more than we do our capacity to judge art according to our own aesthetic standards. What a shame! "The Last Station" is absolutely marvelous. Having majored in Russian language and literature, I found myself spellbound and emotionally-wrenched by "The Last Station"'s power, as well as its touching and historically accurate portrayal of the characters involved. The movie is now available on DVD. I urge you to dismiss Scott's petty analysis, rent (or buy) the film, and treat yourselves to a thoroughly gratifying cinematic experience.
As the composer Max Reger once wrote to a disgruntled critic: "I am sitting in the smallest room in my house. Your review is before me. Soon, it will be behind me."

What is missing is Tolstoi, the man and his vision. On the plus side, it furnishes us with some historical data about the end period. Don't regret having seen it (for Tolstoi's sake).

August 2nd, 201010:50 pm
Tolstoy was a fascinating and contradictory man, especially in his later life, after his religious conversion experience (which is barely alluded to in this film). This film, while visually rich and sometimes engaging, does much too little to contextualize Tolstoy's life, ideas, and marriage. Although it alludes to Tolstoy's rejection of sexuality (and his misogyny, especially in his later years and later writings), and does give some sense of the changing relationship between Sofia and Lev over the decades of their marriage, it doesn't give enough sense of why and how the marriage changed. She did "bear him" 13 children (not all of whom survived), so they obviously had an active sex life for many years. Mirren does a great job with a strangely written role--part hysteric, part loving wife and mother, part aristocrat wedded to privilege and to Tolstoy's aristocrat-reborn-as-peasant. The film--like so many these days--needed more attention to context, history and to ideas, especially Tolstoy's beliefs in his later years about non-violent resistance to evil (and, as another post-er mentioned, his direct influence on and relationship with Gandhi and its legacy in the work of MLK), to making a kingdom of heaven on earth instead of using the idea of a heavenly afterlife as a sop to the suffering, his belief in educating the poor and his freeing of his own serfs, his lifelong pattern of idealizing the life of the peasant, his rejecting and ridiculing modern medicine, and rejecting of sexuality while emphasizing (Platonic?) love, etc. A film without much in the way of big ideas about a man who was all about big ideas is bound to be a disappointment. I agree with Smith that there was some over-acting, too. I also found it offensive that as much attention and screen-time was given to Valentin and Masha's youthful love affair as to Tolstoy's complex relationship with his wife (or to Tolstoy's work as a writer and thinker)--as if audiences could only relate to young, good-looking people having sex and seeming to be in love. I did appreciate the film's acknowledgment of Sofia's collaborative relationship with her husband-as-writer. The film did convey some sense of Tolstoy's contradictory nature, but more sense of history and context would have enriched the film. (For instance, the Russian Revolution was only a few years after Tolstoy's death.) I appreciate the effort to capture something about Tolstoy's life, ideas, marriage, and legacy, especially in a film marketplace with lots of superficial dreck. One small quibble about the DVD version as seen on my older, not-huge TV--what looked like amazing actual early film clips of Tolstoy et al. that appeared during the credits were too tiny for me to see. These would have been the best part of the film so I wish they'd been shown full-screen before the credits, instead.

I agree, the acting was enjoyable. However, we didn't have any background of information about Tolstoy. We also didn't hear a lot about Tolstoy's ideas or beliefs from him. He seemed just to mock the ideas of the Tolstoyeans. It was a lot of arguing about nothing and missed the mark about his true life and ideas both in his early and later years.

The Times Review focuses on one foible - overacting - and fails to fixate on the best - exceptional acting. In a time of increasingly fewer great films, this is a very good film in quite a few ways.
This film did not quite work as a compelling story with all scenes leading to the Rome of the Last Station. The plot was rather flimsy with only two or three points. However, the acting was incredibly subtle and tender concerning the McAvoy thread of infatuation with his young object of affection. You felt nearly embarrassed at moments from the intimacy and you felt exhilarated at others, as they deftly replicated the clouds of joy that love can trigger. I have long ago forgotten of the power of love but their scenes, inexplicably, reminded me of those heady days.
However, more than McAvoy and Ms. Condon, Mirren and Plummer were astounding in replicating their larger-than-life marital combatants. Yes, it's Tolstoy but it could have been any henpecked genius and any deeply frightened devoted spouse about to lose everything she has to an interloper. If money is the root of all evil, then these boughs of complicity, trickery and deception, equalled by moments of sheer gun-toting madness by the Contessa, drive home the adage again and again.
Giamati was nuanced and serpentine in his understated menace. There always the glint of brilliance in his eyes and here he is no less apparent in his role as the well-meaning noble interloper.
There were also moments of great wit here and always, always the visual canvas. You saw sweeping golden fields, proud straight forests of birch with their black and white grandeur and you were drenched in the golden, sepia hue of the spot-on period costumes, interiors and the like. A treat to see.
But for me, at least, this business of the heart was rendered with mastery by the two primary couples and each - while certainly at times overacting - more importantly deftly nailed their parts into place with a grace and skill beyond my ability to articulate. This is worth seeing not so much for the dance but for the dancers and their steps.

June 22nd, 20108:43 pm
Yes, I really did. Christopher Plummer blew me away with the sheer physicality of his Tolstoy, and Helen Mirren's virtuoso performance astonished from start to finish. Set against the fanaticism of Chertkov and the innocence of Valentin, the tragi-comedy of the Tolstoys' marriage becomes grand opera in a bucolic setting. Not to everyone's taste, obviously, but superb as a daring experiment with melodrama that works because Plummer, as Tolstoy, and Mirren, as the countess, are so perfectly cast and equal to the challenge of their roles.

Like so many of this era's "serious" movies, this one has little to say, no point of view, doesn't really inform the viewer of the people or times of the period (or why those portrayed are even worthy of big screen attention in the first place), and just follows a bare skeleton of a plot, with no nervous system or meat, or even much of a skeleton. Ok, I get it, "Love Conquers All", it's in the opening cue card titles, a quote about "love" from Tolstoy himself, proved by (climax spoiler alert!) Tolstoy seeing his estranged but loved wife before his last breath, cross cut with our young hero reunited with his exiled part-time lover. If the final months, or years of Tolstoy's life are worth chronicalling, Michael Hoffman hasn't found the way to do it. Performances are average, Helen Mirren is sure trying to find something here, the rest of the cast just go through the motions of the weak, unmemorable dialogue. Oh sure, like every picture today, it looks great, with fantastic costumes, sets, cinematography, all put to the use of another wasted two hours that could've been spent watching Turner on cable, to see how it should be done.

Like several other readers, I usually agree with Mr. Scott's reviews. I read it before attending this film and went anyway. I was braced for over-the-top acting and it never came. I found the whole movie very enjoyable in a sort-of good, old-fashioned way. It was visually lovely, it had a good story with a worth while theme, and the subjects, Leo Tolstoy and his wife, Sofya, are certainly people who deserve to be subjects of a film.
All of the principle actors were good, and Ms. Mirren was especially praise-worthy as Sofya. I found all of her "outbursts" to be very credible; Mirren was extremely careful to keep the character real, and not to lapse into a stereotype. This is the work of a really good actress. Gee, Sofya was Russian and a member of the aristocracy--she certainly had a right to her scenes.
Perhaps Mr. Scott has seen so many films that he's burnt out and can't appreciate something as simple and "wholesome" as this one. Maybe he needs a sabbatical.

March 10th, 20108:29 pm
OMG I am so glad I went to see this movie, despite the negative review. I totally disagree with the reviewer about the charge of overacting. Tolstoy's wife was a DRAMA QUEEN--and Helen Mirran played her perfectly. The "over" acting was exactly what was called for. These people were deliciously larger than life. If anything, Plummer did not fully portray the true charm of Tolstoy, not that I know him from anything but a few of his works, but he must have been something. Jane Adams herself took the trouble to visit him at his estate wrote about the encounter as a pivotal experience in her life and career, so he must have been a quite attractive character. I loved it, and loved the scenery, loved the vision of technological innovation invading the Russian woods--a teletype machine, and a record player, in a world of hand axes and candle-light.

Like several others here, I have to strongly disagree with A. O. Scott's review (also difficult for me since I usually agree with him). Although I did find some of Helen Mirren's performance to be a bit tiresome (but recognize the inherent difficulty of the role of Sofya), I thoroughly enjoyed everything else about this satisfying film. I do agree with RBG from Brooklyn -- with so much formulaic junk coming out of Hollywood, millions of us are hungry for an original, gorgeous, multi-layered, thoughtful film such as The Last Station. It was evident that everyone in the packed theater where I sat in the heart of Washington DC was enthralled and very moved by it -- the house erupted in loud applause at the end. I wonder if A. O. Scott has ever read Anna Karenina or War and Peace (I've read each book twice) -- Tolstoy's characters are very emotional, exaggerated to an extent, even operatic, but so incredibly human and alive -- I believe the film's actors captured the essence of Tolstoy's larger-than-life characters. (I'm afraid I'll have to read Scott's future reviews with a large grain of salt.)
— Karen, Washington, DC
March 1st, 20108:38 pm
The Last Station review by A.O. Scott is the most appalling and misguided review to appear in the NYT in memory. It is a fine film, certainly, by all measures, story line, acting, photography, etc., The Last Station is one of the very best movies in recent memory. All actors, from the top down, were superb, and it's not mere chance that Mirren has an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and Plummer for Best Supporting Actor. The picture deserves better than Mr. Scott's distorted assessment.

Like several other reviewers, I am a great admirer of A.O.Scott and usually find myself in agreement with his assessment of movies. However I cannot go along with his cantankerous review of this film. It is not a great movie but a very enjoyable one with outstanding cinematography. This is especially true of the final scenes at the railway station, which were so authentic I find it hard to believe they were shot in Germany and not in Russia. I found the film absorbing and, on the whole, well acted - particularly by James McAvoy and Christopher Plummer. Unlike them, Helen Mirren was not at all convincing in her admittedly difficult role. An English-speaking Russian or East European actress would have been better, or maybe Meryl Streep (remember Sophie's Choice?)

Couldn't disagree with Scott more. Wonderful acting all around and an unusual storyline. I was mesmorized from start to finish. I am sure some liberties with the truth were taken, but this does not detract from the quality of the picture.

FIRST AND FOREMOST: I hopped onto this review page expecting to see that everyone else liked the film as much as I did. Then read A. O. Scott's review. Eh ... film snob; whatever. Then read everyone else's. What gives?
C'MON, ADMIT IT: This is a delightful, lightweight, character-driven film about an aging writer and the circus of celebrity and greed that surrounds him. His minions crave a piece of him, his family wants control, his wife wants recognition. Poor Valentin just seems to want to do the right thing.
AND I CARED: I felt empathy for Valentin, I admired his integrity (and attempts at integrity). Masha offers up her sexy self, but also her sense of balance. She wasn't just about transgression, she was about humanism. "This is what men and women have always done," she said. Count me in. Sofya also had a good case. Really, so did Chertkov.
BIG LIVES, BIG CHARACTERS: Sure they were over the top ... it's a movie. What could be better? Christopher Plummer played it big; think Tolstoy wasn't big. Helen Mirren played it big; why not, she was the Yoko Ono of her day. And don't get me started about Kerry Condon; I saw Rome. Woof! Her character Masha could have been a throwaway tart, but instead demonstrated depth and accessibility. Paul Giamatti, well, he just seems to play Paul Giamatti. But he does it really well. I *knew* what he was thinking, and moustache twirling aside, it made me feel protective over Tolstoy and Sofya.
BTW: The whole moustache thing was worth Sofya's little power play when she points out that Chertkov's moustache is crooked. Strong wills in battle.
SO: This wasn't a heavy-handed, bleating attempt at literary profundity. Want heavy? See Schindler's List. The Last Station was a fine, warm-hearted, engaging film that featured compelling performances, lovely cinematography, and a nice, human touch. "I'm your little bird," says Sofya, "and you know the noises I make."

What did poor Tolstoy do to deserve being ridiculed in way by such a bunch of ham performers? As another viewer mentioned, this movie strips the Tolstoys of dignity -- just to make a quik buck. I didn't learn anything watching this sugary guff, I gained no inkling into who Tolstoy was and what his sect was about. It was impossible to believe, even for a single moment that the people on the screen were Russians, even less so aristocrats of 100 years ago. You can't play above of who you are, these thespians make it abundantly clear. The young couple's romance, complete with the obligatory steamy sex scene, is an absolute disaster. What a disappointment.
— Francesca Gee, Brooklyn
February 21st, 20105:42 pm
This is a terrible movie. It turns Tolstoy's last year into melodrama. No mention of his writings on anarchism or his hugely influential exchange of letters with Gandhi that was taking place during the time period depicted in the film. In fact, the film gives the false impression that Tolstoy is producing nothing at this point in his life. It turns his followers into simple caricatures without explaining their ideas except in the broadest and most inane way (it's about the love, man).

Internet gambling, which was dealt a body blow by the GOP-controlled Congress in late 2006, may be making a quiet comeback, thanks to the lure of tax revenues in an economy that is still struggling to regain its footing.
At least three bills have been introduced that would, to varying degrees, lift the virtual ban on Internet gambling that went into effect three years ago when former President George W. Bush signed into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UNIGEA). None of the bills pending in the House and Senate have moved out of the committees to which they were assigned, and none has been scheduled for floor action. Still, prospects are brightening sufficiently to start a slight, but audible, buzz in the nation's capitol.
For example, many expect hearings will be held this fall on at least one bill — Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank's "Internet Gambling Regulation and Taxation Act." If so, it is likely that testimony in support of the legislation will be based as much on economics as on the principle that individuals should be able to gamble online if they want to. The economics of taxing Internet gambling are indeed impressive.
Online poker, for example, which is but one segment of the online gambling universe, accounts even now for some $6 billion per year just in the United States, according to the Poker Players Alliance (PPA). Globally, Internet gambling of all types will grow to a staggering $144 billion in revenue by 2011, according to estimates by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Already, lawmakers like Frank are pitching their proposals as revenue "enhancers." The lawmaker, who chairs the House Financial Service Committee and is a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, would accomplish this by imposing a 2 percent "licensing fee" on internet gambling deposits held by any Internet gambling company operating in the United States. That 2 percent tax alone would yield an estimated $51 billion in its first decade. Five billion dollars or more each year to a federal government starved for income to help balance a vast outflow of red ink is gaining the attention of lawmakers in Washington. This is happening despite continued opposition from the religious right, the NFL and other "hard sports," the NCAA and many domestic casino operations. State government could also be expected to jump on the online gambling tax bandwagon.
Reportedly, even casinos that have in the past strongly opposed online gambling are starting to realize that if Internet gambling is even partially legalized, the entire gambling industry stands to profit. As noted by John Pappas, executive director of the PPA, in those countries in which online gambling is legal, many participants also place bets at "brick-and-mortar" casinos.
The focus on potential revenue from online gambling is entirely understandable when considering the almost desperate search by lawmakers in Washington to find new sources of income with which to fund its insatiable appetite for money. This process is also dictated because of the way in which the federal government has attacked gambling over the years.
The two primary weapons in the federal government's war against Internet gambling are the 1961 "Wire Act" (which addresses telephone or telegraph-based gambling) and UNIGEA, which updates the 1961 law to include the more modern mode of communication. Neither statute outlaws gambling outright. Rather, the laws combine to make it illegal for businesses to transfer or retain funds derived from or related to gambling activities. Thus, to "legalize" online gambling, it becomes necessary to focus on the "money trail," since that is where the federal law has directed its enforcement effort.
Moralists and business that see online gambling as competition can be expected to continue to oppose efforts to resuscitate the Internet gambling industry. The poor economy and profligate government spending, may have become their most serious adversaries.

Internet gambling should be legalized and taxed heavily.Say 50% of winnings and no deductions for losses.Legalize only gambling within the confines of the country.Outlaw out of country betting.I need another tax that I won't be paying.like the tobacco tax.And the tax on soft drinks.

"…President George W. Bush signed into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UNIGEA)."
This is one of the better examples of liberal legislation in recent years.
And I will be surprised if Mr. Barr is not correct on this – expect the tax to get approved.

The Lottery was intended to "enhance" the education budget, but instead, the budget is reduced and now depends on the millions created by the lottery — not as an enhancement, but to supplement what has been reduced in the budget.
Now, use your common sense, if you subtract the tens of millions of dollars generated by the lottery, how is this going to address the educational needs of the children of Georgia? Or, buy textbooks, if that is indeed the problem?
The pledge politicians make to never raise taxes is stupid, given the erosion of inflation over time, but it's that populist BS that voters buy into that creates the need for a lottery. Politicians refuse to "man up" to the economic realities of the day, choosing rather to prostitute themselves to be re-elected.

When the internet gambling industry gets US regulation, I'd like to see strict rules on gaming odds. For example: Enforcing a Christian elected company that oversees and has 100% control of onling gambling gaming odds by way of the only allowed access to manipulate payout odds in software.

Today's piece is entitled, "Virtual Gambling, the Christian Right, and other Solid Pairs"
Bob Barr is….RIGHT! This whole thing reminds me of why Las Vegas doesn't have a major league baseball team: The umpires would keep getting ejected (and beat up) for counting balls and strikes, (and St Louis Cards).
Of course the next step after virtual gambling is virtual prostitution with all the sights, sounds, smells and feel of reality prostitution. Pocket-rocket scientists are working on the I-Pud, and that will be one time this happy camper will be in a tent outside of Target for when they open the doors on that premier!!
It is up to our congress, who represent the peoples of the United States of America, to pass this legislation. Yes, our congress, who, disguised as mild-mannered, metro-sexual christian males, fight a never ending battle for sooth(saying), caucus(stuffing) and the Amerian Ways (and Means).
If they lift the ban on internet gambling, will the phrase "One armed Bandit" become obsolete? What will replace the term "One Armed Bandit" I ask you good people? (The one-eyed mouse)
Another solid pair!

Clyde, if you taxed winnings at 50%, then no one would gamble within the law, making the legalization of gambling pointless. Poker is all about calculating and maximizing your odds, and if you cut them in half, people would just play poker outside the law where they don't have to worry about such an oppressive tax.

The state of GA is missing a golden opportunity by not allowing casinos on Jekyl Island (only) in the state. MS was kicking butt in Biloxi until Katrina. What's funny is the changing of the (somebody's) morals when it comes to their own pocketbook. I wonder how many non smokers would like to make up the revenue if we just banned smoking completely, gov't is just the middle man in the dope deal.

Well, the poker is not gambling, it poker. I was outraged at the UNIEGA passing, as it was backdoored into a port security bill, without really ever coming up into discussion, by a senator who took hundreds of thousands of dollars from the brick and mortar casinos in campaign donations. We need to make poker safe and regulated for our citizens who want to play poker online. The tax angle is the not the real issue, this issue is allowing our citizens to do what they please.

Let the nose of the camel into the tent, and soon you'll be sleeping outside on the cold, cold, ground. Get one tax on the internet and they'll tax everything they can, including free speech, printed and cyber. Wake up and smell the limburger cheese that emanates from DC.

It's a good idea – billions of US tax dollars are now lost because people gamble outside the law. Legalize. Tax. Regulate.
And it's not a "tax on the internet", edredneck, it's a tax on certain companies who do business on the internet, in the same way that physical casinos in Vegas or Atlantic City pay taxes.
Hopefully the current budgetary situation will lead to a few things:
1. Republicans will hopefully realize that you can't cut taxes until you cut spending.
2. Democrats will hopefully realize that you can't up spending until you up taxes.
Either way, for the past decade (essentially since Gingrich blocked Clinton's spending and Clinton Gingrich's tax cuts), both parties have been unsustainable. Either way, cut the populist crap about providing more for less tax $, and deal with it. Either up taxes or cut spending.
It seems remarkable that even now, the crazier side of the right wing is concentrating their slogans on cutting taxes more than cutting spending.
Taxed Enough Already? No.
Cut the Crap(py spending, earmarks, Murtha, etc.)? Yes.
The military appropriations are bloated by funds for pet projects (and for those of you who've watched 'Charlie Wilson's War', think that but much less noble, but still controlled – as it was at the end of the movie – by John Murtha, possibly the single most corrupt politician in DC), transport appropriations by private airfields that are subsidized but used mostly by multimillionaires (or, of course, congressmen: see John Murtha Airport, one flight a day to Washington), and most other spending is wasted by being sent to campaign contributors rather than the people who need it.
If we cut all this crap, either we could cut taxes, or actually spend the money on more worthwhile things like teachers.

Sounds good to me. I think they should legalize gambling everywhere. They should also stop prosecuting drug users and sellers. They shoudl legalize prostitution as well. Regulate it and tax it.
And I would be all for having a "Public Option" in these areas as well. We already have the public option on gambling and it can easily exist side by side with private casinos and internet sites.
We could have "Public Option" for prostitutes and drugs too

Joseph Sanderson's comment has this 100% right. Legalize it. Tax it. Regulate it. It makes absolutely no sense to have legalized gambling in casinos while having internet gambling illegal, especially poker. This is a no-brainer here!

For many people who have not researched this issue, the knee-jerk reaction is to condemn internet gambling. I'd strongly suggest that you take the time and research the issue before offering an opinion. There have been many studies on this, particularly overseas, where they have legalized, regulated, and taxed gambling industries. Each of these studies comes back as saying that regulating and taxing online gambling does not increase gambling addiction at all. Britain conducted a study in 1997 measuring gambling addiction and again in 2007 (after the online gambling boom) and found no measurable impact in gambling addiction. Other studies have come back with similar results. The only studies that have said otherwise are ones based in Canada or the U.S., which are based on opinion and projections, not actual data.
I for one am tired of the deficits and spending going on with this corrupt government, along with the rising deficit thats going to haunt my children. If we can get another income tax stream from something thats going to have no impact on me, then I'm all for it.

Okay, so, it was really tough to say whether or not Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were actually "back together" this past weekend, when the only report circulating originated in the tabloid The Sun. But now that a bunch of other publications are onboard with the story, it's kinda looking like there's some solid evidence to support that being the case. Or to support the fact that they're saying they're back together now, as they may have actually been together the whole time, and the entire scandal may have very well been a sham.
Whew, anyway, sources have told Us Weekly that the two recently "had a dramatic makeup" in Los Angeles. Apparently, RPatz agreed to meet his "estranged love" on several occasions, and now, "they're working it out." Why? Because Rob's "still in love with her." Cue collective "aaawww!"s or "boooo!"s.
For argument's sake, let's just assume that KStew really did cheat (and this wasn't a total PR stunt). And it was a one-off indiscretion. Or even worse. She has been saying she is sorry and loves Robert first and foremost all along. He has always seemed completely besotted with her. So, there's something to be said for a couple acknowledging that they DO still love one another and that they want to try to work through the darkest hour of their relationship. Especially because we're talking about a couple that is already up against two major challenges: They're young, and they're famous!
More from The Stir: Kristen Stewart Finally Feels Guilty About the Right Thing
Okay, so, maybe Rob's family and friends won't be thrilled with him for taking her back, and there's always the possibility that she could hurt him again (or vice-versa). But, at the very least, good on them for taking their love seriously enough to attempt to rebuild their relationship. And hey, if they do ever get hitched one day, they'll already have more than a clue about what it actually takes to make a marriage last.
Do you admire these two for "working it out"?
Image via Summit Entertainment
glad they are talking it out, people, friends and family should leave them alone. he is 26 and her 22, they are old enough to deal with their own issues without family and friends making their decisions. we all get hurt in life and hopefully we all learn from our mistakes. if they do make their relationship work, it will become stronger, for they both will realize how it felt to be without the other. if i were them and the magazines that talked ill of them i would give them no more interviews, shut them off and let them continue to make up their stories that almost destroyed to young lovers.

Could I Be a Birth Mother?
Could I be a birthmother? This is a question that recently crossed my mind. Our journey to parenthood includes several adoption stops along the way, none of them successful, with parenthood finally arriving thanks to the blessing of embryo donation. On our third attempt with this method, we finally found our forever child, due to be born next month. I have proceeded cautiously throughout the pregnancy, in denial the first half, cautiously optimistic in the second half. After all, we had a child in the home when we fostered, we got used to her being in our lives, we loved her as our own, we were her parents for every intent and purpose, and then she was taken away. She… [more]
One Name to Unite Us?
When I got divorced last year, it made sense for me to keep my married name. I got married during graduate school, so my entire post-education career had been conducted under that name. It was my daughters' last name and I had no intention to ask them to change it. It would be simpler to deal with school and other organizations if the girls and I shared a name. I felt no particular attachment to my maiden name. I asked my soon-to-be ex-husband whether he had any objections to my keeping his last name. He thought I was nuts for asking. "It's your name," he said. "Why wouldn't you keep it?" It was settled. I signed the divorce papers and called a realtor… [more]
Not My Problem
A few months ago, an uncle called to catch up and see how my daughters and I were doing. I let him know well the girls were doing in school and how much I enjoyed my job. I then gave him an update on my relative's situation. I reminded him of the personal challenges she's faced and reminded him that her son, Alan, had been in foster care since January. My uncle is related to Alan. Alan and I fall in similar spots in our family tree from our uncle's perspective. When I began to explain that I had thrown my hat in the ring to adopt Alan, my uncle grew quiet, then began listing all the reasons that this would be… [more]
I've been silent here for many months. This process, trying to adopt my relative's son because his mother cannot care for him, has been heart-wrenching for everyone involved. The last time you heard from me, I was hopeful that Alan would leave the UK to join our family in the US before too long. Sadly, that didn't come to pass. My viability assessment described me as having "strong parenting skills," but next to my history of depression, a major concern they raised was that my "strong financial position" was "dependent on [my] being able to work." Every American I've spoken to about this statement has expressed disbelief. Of course my income is dependent on my working! Things just work differently across the Atlantic. In… [more]
Should You Foster if You Want to Adopt?
Should you foster if you really want to adopt? Some areas have thriving foster-to-adopt programs where you go through the foster care training and become licensed foster parents, but you are only called with placements of children who are already likely to be in need of an adoptive home. Either their parents' rights have already been terminated, or the social workers expect this to happen shortly. If that's the case, perhaps this route to adoption may be ideal for those who don't have too many criteria limiting what children they'd like to adopt and/or whose adoption budget is quite low. However, not every locality has a thriving foster-to-adopt program. My area, for instance, only took prospective foster parents willing to do "straight… [more]
Encouraging a Colleague to Adopt
I recently encouraged a colleague to adopt. The topic came up unexpectedly, and I found myself relating our fostering experience and suggesting that she adopt an older child or even siblings rather than fostering, which was her initial idea. I noticed myself repeating several times that "I hate to discourage anyone from becoming a foster parent, but…" The truth is, our one time fostering experience was less than stellar. The little girl we had was a handful, but that was not at all the problem. Her parents were teenagers and inexperienced, but that was not the problem either. Well, not really. Actually, it is my belief that the department of social services (and I use this general term on purpose, as it… [more]
Adoption Ads in Pregnancy Magazines
When we were pursuing domestic adoption, we did so independently, without the assistance of an adoption agency. This meant that we had to do our own networking and advertising, as well as screening potential birth parents. Many times we came across people who were not familiar with private adoption and found our attempts at reaching out suspicious. Many hopeful adoptive parents likewise found the idea of having to essentially sell themselves as a viable option for someone's child as demeaning. Yet adoption agencies can – and are expected to – advertise and network on behalf of their hopeful adoptive parents without raising any red flags. Still, as I came across an entire column of advertisements in the back of a pregnancy… [more]
Encouraging Minorities to Adopt
While all transracially adopted children deserve adoptive parents who are culturally sensitive and willing to expose not only their child, but themselves and their entire family to the child's ethnic and/or cultural heritage, good intentions on the part of the parents do not take the place of parents who already have a personal vested interested in the same culture by virtue of having also been raised in it. Over the years, informal adoption has been the preferred option among many non-Caucasian families for a variety of reasons. In many communities, relatives simply take in children whose parents are unable to care for them, either on a temporary basis or until they are grown and on their own. However, informal adoption leaves the… [more]
I first heard the term "rehoming" from my sister. For a time, she ran a guinea pig foster home of sorts, caring for the little rodents while she looked for permanent homes for them. I liked the positive connotation that goes along with the term "rehoming" – finding a new home. In the field of information technology, rehoming is used to refer to the movement of an item from its current location to a new location, mostly in a virtual environment. In both instances, there is none of the negativity that is often associated with the concept when humans look for a new, permanent home for their baby.
The antiquated term, "put up for adoption", makes the child… [more]
Foster Care: Understanding
Both the American and British foster systems initially seek, in my experience, to enable birth parents to regain custody of their children. There are cases in which it seems clear to me that there is no hope for parents to change the circumstances that caused them to lose access to their children, but I am no professional. I'm just a mom, and being a mom, I'm glad that foster institutions do their due diligence to understand and help the entire family instead of jumping to conclusions. In case you're unfamiliar with foster care, it is the institution of placing a child temporarily within a family that has been vetted and trained to care for them. These children have had to be removed… [more]

New developments in the Thomas Mallory civil lawsuit. This Saturday marks one year after 16-year-old Mallory, a former Coronado High student, took a hit of ecstasy, overdosed, and later died at University Medical Center. NewsChannel 11's Jennifer Vogel has been tracking down the progress in this case and has the new information.
Just weeks before Thomas Mallory's parents, John and Louise Steinspring, were supposed to go to trial against several prominent Lubbock families, we have learned there will be no trial. Sources have told us several families have decided to settle out of court.
You'll recall, EMS responded to an overdose call from the Lakeridge Country Club last June 10th. Mallory, was with several other teens, who reportedly gave him a shower, food and fluids but nothing helped. A few hours passed before the teens moved Mallory to the golf course and called 911. He died two days later.
For the next few months, an investigation surrounded the other teens that were with Mallory that night. The Grand Jury did not indict anyone in the case. But Mallory's parents filed a civil lawsuit against eight teens and one Lubbock doctor. They believe if the teens had called 911 earlier, Thomas might still be alive.
Paperwork with the details about the outcome in the civil lawsuit is expected to be filed in the courts as soon as next week. We'll keep you updated.

Are MILEY CYRUS' recent sad tweets hinting at trouble between her and fiancé LIAM HEMSWORTH?
We sure hope not.
Of course having trouble in a relationship doesn't necessarily mean that they're heading for splitsville.
The couple, who became engaged three months ago after dating on and off for three years, have not been photographed together since they announced their engagement, but their relationship still appears to be as strong as ever.
Miley's recent tweets, however, have made a lot of people wonder…
On Thursday, a seemingly depressed and discontented Miley tweeted:
"ever feel like you want just…. something more. not sure what exactly… passion perhaps?"
She then added:
"sometimes i feel like i love everyone more than they love me. hatttte that feeling."
Could she be talking about Liam?
After a few minutes, the singer and actress tweeted again:
"Thought of the day: maybe it's not that they love you less, they just love you the most they are capable of loving."
It sounds like she's complaining about someone not loving her enough, doesn't it?
But when celebrity gossip websites began speculating—based on her tweets—that she and Liam were on the rocks, Miley immediately tweeted:
"no there is not trouble in paradise…. just thoughts."
Then, as if to prove that there really wasn't any trouble between her and Liam, Miley again wrote:
"having some quality fiancé time. just what I needed ❤"
Whew! False alarm, guys.
But we're still wondering why (and for whom) Miley wrote those tweets…

I'm planning on making an multi channel temperature monitor based on an Arduino, perhaps a pro mini, and a 1-wire bus with DS18B20 temperatur sensors.
I contemplates using 3.5mm stereo jack plugs as external connections, one for each "channel" (sensor), is there a way to make the Arduino determin which sensor adress is connected to which "channel" (jack socket) so that I don't have to manually set up the system to know what each measurement represents.
Best regards
Just finding my place in the wonderfull world of Arduino

Most sensationally, Summers is said to be tainted by his time as President of Harvard. Too much has already been said about this. But I will make just a couple of observations. First, although Summers may not be Mr. Personality, and he will never be elected to high office nor chosen to head offices for women's rights or the environment, he has all the most important qualities for the Treasury job. Despite a tendency to say what he thinks, I don't think he committed any true faux pas or became involved in any mini-scandals during 8 years in the government — no easy feat. (The closest he came to a faux pas, or what counts for one in the media, was a statement that the argument that was then being made for abolition of the estate tax was based on greed alone rather than efficiency. He quickly retracted the statement without bothering to try to explain what he had meant, having already by then become familiar with the rules of political brouhahas.) In his time in Washington, he learned how to get along with politicians across the spectrum, from socialists to the far right. It's true that he wasn't able subsequently to get along with the full range of faculty in the Harvard English Department, but that is a tougher task.
Finally, I continue to be surprised at how the press describes Summers' ill-fated and ill-considered (but "off the record") remarks regarding explanations for the lack of women in academic science departments. He is most often reported as having suggested that women generally have less aptitude for science than men. Memories of these remarks in some quarters probably accounts for the recent decline of Summers in the betting odds, though he also has defenders among women with whom he has worked. I link to the text of what he actually said here, and urge readers to make up their minds for themselves. But I don't read his speculative remarks about the various hypotheses quite the way most people have assumed. To me the most outrageous line in the remarks was, rather, the suggestion (made to illustrate the penalities for being out of the academic workforce for a couple of years) "that no economist who had gone to work at the President's Council of Economic Advisers for two years had done highly important academic work after they returned" !

Exchange Rate Pass-through: The Role of Regime Changes
AbstractWe consider the effect on the degree of exchange rate pass-through of the exchange rate regime in operation. We test the hypothesis that pass-through will be lower under a float as firms may be reluctant to pass appreciations or depreciations on to their customers when there is a strong chance that they will be subsequently reversed. Taylor's hypothesis that pass-through will be lower in a low-inflation environment is also considered. Both hypotheses are assessed in relation to the price of manufactured imports into New Zealand and we find that, whereas the shift to a float dramatically lowered the degree of pass-through, the later shift to a low-inflation regime has no significant additional effect on the pass-through relationship.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts on Wrestling Voice Radio
Hosts: Duane Doogan & Luke Barry
WrestlingVoiceRadio.com (http://www.wrestlingvoiceradio.com/shows/jake-roberts-interview/) & iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/wrestling-voice-radio-podcast/id397878356)
Jake "The Snake" Roberts sat down today to talk to Wrestling Voice Radio, some of the highlights are below:
What it would mean to him, if he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:
"A lot. A lot, because I did make a lot of mistakes in my career but if they would acknowledge what I did and what I accomplished by putting me in there, it would be something I could give to my Grandchildren, for everything I did right, I know I belong in there, a lot more than others that are in there but I don't care about that, the WWE was very good to me. I didn't understand a lot of things, I was not a good business man. Vince would call me say we need an idea for this and I'd give him an idea and we'd just rock and roll with it, I didn't know I'd to go in there and fight for my money and my place and the bottom line is the squeaky wheel gets the grease and I should of recognized that. I should of done the right thing and been squeaky."
Did he think when Stone Cold cut the "Austin 3:16" promo on his that it would one of the most iconic moments in history:
"Oh absolutely, I told Vince from the get-go that Steve was going to be his next super-superstar and Vince said he'd 'never be better than third or fourth match' and I said 'Vince, it will take him longer to get over, but once he gets over he will get so far above everybody else, you will not believe it!', and what happened?"
On whether he believes scripting wrestlers promos is good or bad for business:
"Nobody knows my character like me, but the problem today is these guys don't have any characters, they don't know what they are, hell, they all do the same damn thing and nobodies selling anything.
Never say anything and not do it, because you'll destroy your own credibility, most important thing about that is if you ever destroy your credibility to a fan he will never believe you again, today they're going out there and doing all this crap nobody sells anything in the ring, and the reason is these guys have not learned they're trait. In my day you had to progress, you had evolve, to change to keep your job, there's a little initiative to get you going and that's the difference."
Other topics included the inspiration behind the name DDT, working with Andre The Giant, Undertaker, Randy Savage and more as well as a pretty hectic story regarding the snake biting a referee in the eye.
