I could do without the "only" part, frankly.
What's that, it costs $10 to make a Sunday paper and get it to you, the Reader? Yeah, maybe, something like that.
But even so, I could do without the "only" part.
How much is a gallon of gasoline at the Fell Street ARCO station right now? $2.99
And how about the rest of America? Well, some places are at $1.99 and there are more coming soon.
Hey, remember when the SFMTA used to talk about how people should take MUNI because a one-way fare was less than a gallon of gas? I do. Not too forward-looking, huh?
And remember this ad campaign, to teach stupid car drivers about how gasoline actually costs money?
I do.
The SFMTA has stated that increasing gasoline prices are a reason to take MUNI, so, conversely, would falling gasoline prices be a reason to NOT take MUNI?
Think on that.
IMO, the SFMTA needs to deal with its numerous problems honestly.
IMO, the SFMTA isn't even coming close to doing this.
IMO, the SFMTA isn't even close to offering, in its words, EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION CHOICES.
IMO, MUNI's service is worse than a quarter-century ago, despite the dramatic growth in its budget and its fare prices.
So, real gas prices are historically low and the SFMTA's prices are historically high.
Just saying.
As seen by photographer James Corrigan at a South San Francisco Costco yesterday, November 16th, 2014:
Granted, this is a membership-only warehouse so I guess you'd have to factor in the $55 annual membership, but prices are dropping like a stone lately – it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to purchase sub $3 gas in San Francisco proper…
I remember the first time I spent $20 to fill up a gas tank. It was for an Audi 5000 in Hawaii in the 1990's.
And I remember the first time I spent $100 to fill a gas tank. It was for a Toyota Land Cruiser in Marin County in the 2000's (by that, I mean The Aughts).
Ah mem'ries.
Now here's present day SF, at the infamous Fell Street ARCO:
Now I'll tell you, my Nana, who just had stomach surgery Back East, so she's been slowed down a bit, well, she just told me about paying 30 cents per gallon for gasoline something like 60 years ago, back in '54. Adjust that for inflation and that works out to two-something dollars a gallon, right?
And back then, America was a poorer country, right?
And back then, you couldn't buy no hybrid cars to get super-high mileage, right?
Obviously, changes are afoot. Obviously. But the Peak Oil crowd (the latest gathering was circa 2007 or so) has been proven wrong, once again – it's like clockwork, since the 1800's.
Just saying…
OMG, $136K for a "distinctly forward-looking and sustainability-focused sports car" that provides a "revolutionary interpretation of BMW's hallmark driving pleasure."
Here it is. I suppose it actually has a couple of rear seats in the back but they're for like your purse or a dog or something. In mitigation, these rides come with gull-wing doors, just like a Mercedes!
Click to expand
Say, is this ride going to attract a certain "type" of person? You bet, you'll see.
And say, should the U.S. or CA government subsidize the sale of these cars? Absolutely not.
That is all.
What'll happen is that your SFMTA-licensed hack will ask you where you're going before you can get in. Then s/he might quote you a flat fee of like $40 to take you to your destination. This is what happens every new years on the mean streets of San Francisco.
FYI, this is called Failure to Convey. Check it:
"Driver Duties During Shift. (1) A Driver shall not refuse, or direct or permit the refusal, of prospective passengers in any place within the City for transportation to any other place in the City, or to or from the San Francisco International Airport, or to the Oakland International Airport, or Paratransit passengers within the Paratransit Program service area, at rates authorized by law, if the prospective passengers present themselves for transportation in a clean, coherent, safe and orderly manner and for a lawful purpose and the Driver has sufficient time before the end of his or her shift."
So my advice would be to get in to get your ride and then deal with the fare at your destination. I mean, your fare is based on time and distance plus any bridge tolls or airport fees, that's it.
This rule of course doesn't apply to illegal taxis or town cars or Lyft or UberX or others similar.- it just applies to SF taxis.
Like this ride, DeSoto Deuce Triple One (2111). It's a genuine SF taxi. (It's shown here on the day it killed two passengers coming up the 101 from SFO, but oh well.)

What I'm saying is that I knows my rights and you should know your rights as well. I've always gotten my way with cabbies, meaning, I always get to where I'm going and I never pay a cabbie-inflicted surcharge.

Uh, to make more money?
From Ellen Huet comes the news of SideCar doubling its "voluntary" fares for New Years Eve 2013.
So that means you'll need to pay double to avoid getting blackballed by SideCar's drivers.
Of course, if a trained and licensed San Francisco taxi driver charges you double a during busy time, that's a misdemeanor.
But if a SideCar driver jacks up rates on NYE, that's called bidness.
Oh well.
Hey, Gentle Reader! Why not check in on SideCar's "amazing year," below? You'll be able to see if any mention is made of CPUC case #PSG-3360, you know, that whole "cease and desist" thing.
If only this woman on Market had a SideCar sign instead of a TAXI sign:
Click to expand
"Hello San Francisco SideCar Community!
2012 has been an amazing year:
To ring in 2013, plenty of drivers in our community have told us that they plan to get behind the wheel on New Year's Eve so that you can hit the town safely without having to worry about driving. <3 To thank them, we decided to do them a huge favor:
For New Year's Eve only – and in The San Francisco Bay Area Only – from 5pm-5am, as a way of saying thanks to those driving on NYE, we are going to suggest double the community average donation for each ride within the app. This means that a ride with a typical community average of $10 will say $20 on Monday night.
Here's why we're doing this:
Of course, with SideCar what you donate is always up to you, and the community average is just there to help you decide. We just feel that on a night like New Year's a little extra for drivers wouldn't hurt. We hope you'll feel the same way."
Here's the news:
"Reiskin said he'd like to develop a fare system that cuts down on the red tape and provides discounts for those who need them, and full-fare rates for those who don't. Reiskin said the program ideally would be cost-neutral, with prosperous older riders paying increased fares and lower-income adults paying less."
Now of course MUNI wants more money money money all the time time time.
So of course, you could concoct a scheme that would be cost-neutral, at first, anyway.
But that wouldn't be the point of the exercise.
The point of the exercise would be to raise revenue for MUNI by subsequently raising fares for the average rider.
So, step one is to change the fare structure to make step two viable.
Step two is to raise fares.
I see what you're doing there, MUNI.
Well, myself, I'm through with the two-step.
Yet another car on Market Street* delaying MUNI:

*The only way the driver of the white wagon could have been at fault in this collision was if she had raced passed the orange streetcar by illegally driving the wrong way on the wrong side of Market.

text2gui 1.0 released - new Swing development tool
Hi Swing developers,
I'd like to announce my product, called text2gui, which makes Java Swing GUI development extremely easy. With text2gui, you can describe an entire GUI hierarchy with a simple syntax which is much easier to write than Java. You don't need to recompile your application to make changes to the GUI, which saves you a ton of development time. Also, GUI descriptions are stored in resource bundle files, making internationalizing your application simple.
Finally, unlike other GUI builder tools, text2gui allows you to update and receive notifications from your created GUI with simple, uniform mechanisms. This allows you to implement your GUI with the MVC architecture, which leads to cleaner, more maintainable code.
text2gui also includes a GUI editor tool which you can use to edit your GUI descriptions and test them with a single button click.
text2gui is available for purchase by commercial users, but it may be licensed for a nominal fee by free software developers. An evaluation version can also be downloaded for free. Please check it out!
Hi jctsay,
Could you please provide an short example showing text2gui's advantages? Thanks in advance.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your question, and sorry about the delayed response.
Here is an example that shows off some of text2gui's capabilities. A GUI
description for text2gui is normally stored and edited in a resource bundle
file. Such a bundle, which contains a description of a dialog box that lets
the user select a value, might look like this:
dialog.title=Complex Dialog
{%valueLabel, {north}},
{%valueSpinner, {center}},
{%buttonPanel, {south}}
valueLabel.text=Enter a value:
buttonPanel.layout=box axis=x
%okButton, {strut}, %cancelButton
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
argMap.putNoReturn("accepted", Boolean.TRUE);
getGlobal("cdialog", argMap).dispose();
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
argMap.putNoReturn("accepted", Boolean.FALSE);
getGlobal("cdialog", argMap).dispose();
The Java code to create the dialog looks like this:
// Create the resource bundle
ResourceBundle bundle = ChainedResourceBundleFactory.getBundle("MyBundle");
// Create the map used to communicate with the GUI
IObservableNoReturnMap argMap = new ObservableMap();
// Set the initial value of the spinner
argMap.put("val", new Integer(40));
// Optional: listen for changes to the spinner
argMap.addPropertyChangeListener("val", new PropertyChangeListener() { ... });
// Finally, create the dialog box
JDialog dialog = DispatchingComponentConverter.DEFAULT_INSTANCE.toComponent(
bundle, "dialog", argMap);
if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(argMap.get("accepted"))) {
// Get the value the user chose
int value = ((Integer) argMap.get("val")).intValue();
// Do something based on the value
That may seem long, but that's the entire code to create the dialog box
including all of its contents. If the contents change, the Java code
doesn't have to. For example, you might want to add a border to the content
panel. You could add the line:
contentPanel.border=titled title="Choose something"
Or perhaps you'd like to change the spinner to a slider:
{%valueLabel, {north}},
{%valueSlider, {center}},
{%buttonPanel, {south}}
Any other change to the contents of dialog box can be done in the same way,
without recompiling the Java code. All you need to do is edit the resource
bundle file and restart the application (it's possible to avoid the restart
as well).
If you wanted to adapt your application for a different language, you would
create a locale specific resource bundle that overloads some keys. For example,
for the Spanish locale, you might have this single line resource bundle:
valueLabel.text=Entre un numero:
Still, there is no need to recompile the Java code.
If you wanted to respond to the value of the slider/spinner as the user changes
it, you would add a property change listener to the argument map.
Notice the Java code is agnostic about how the GUI is implemented, even how
variables are displayed or gathered. This gives you considerable flexibility.
You can even upgrade the GUI after your application is deployed by
distributing a new resource bundle file. Or you might let users create their
own GUI's, like skins but more powerful.
Also notice that code can be embedded in text2gui descriptions: the action
listeners for the OK and Cancel button where written in BeanShell, which is
basically a scripted version of Java (easy to learn, no types). Another way
that GUI's can cause your application's code to be executed is to watch for
changes in the argument map using a property change listener. For example,
the "pressed" property of a button can be listened to, then your application
can respond to it by executing the proper code.
Hope that helps to explain the advantages of text2gui. For more information,
including demos, please visit the web site:
You may also download the evaluation version which has the demos and complete
documentation. Please contact me (email@example.com or post a reply) if
you have further questions. Thanks for your interest!

Over 3600 Postcards in Support of ENDA for Senator Heller
November 1, 2013 by Guest contributor
This post comes from Latoya Holman, one of HRC's National Board of Governors in Las Vegas. Latoya is a straight ally and the member of the HRC Las Vegassteering committee.
Just moments ago, Americans for Workplace Opportunity volunteers and staff delivered over 3600 postcards to Senator Dean Heller in his Las Vegas office. These postcards are from the thousands of Nevadans that support the employment non-discrimination act and the opportunity for LGBT Americans to be judged on their merits and not because of who they love.
Currently, in 29 states, lesbian and gay Americans can be fired; 34 states for transgender Americans, simply for being who they are. Nevada already provides these protections to LGBT Nevadans and now is the time to provide these protections for all Americans.
Our very own U.S. Senator, Majority Leader Harry Reid, has indicated his strong support of this legislation and his intention to bring up the bill before Thanksgiving. It's time for our other Senator to do the same and stand with the thousands of Nevadans, Las Vegas' former mayor, Jan Jones, and the many businesses and corporations that already provide these protections.
It's not too late to make your voice heard. Senator Reid indicated that a vote on ENDA could happen as early as next week. Make sure you call Senator Heller at 866.439.8155 and let him know all Americans deserve these protections.

(PRWEB) October 23, 2013
Phillip Koss, owner of http://www.strechforlife.com/ is quick to point out that this process is no panacea. A severely disabled individual will need weeks of daily treatments, as much as two hours twice daily. Commitment and dedication is required of both the patient and practitioner. Each session is individually tailored to meet the specific needs of the person at each stage in the process. Since 2009, Stretch for Life has been enabling persons with stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) to regain feeling and function. The process involves full body stretching, massage, acupressure, strength training coupled with mental focus, breathing and visualization to eliminate spasticity and restore feeling and muscle function. Once the habitually tight muscles have been coaxed into relaxing, the relaxation is permanent. Persons who have been in chronic pain report the pain is alleviated.The process begins as a series of treatments to relax the tight muscles and continues as a relearning to use the atrophied muscles. Lastly, the procedure involves exercises to restore strength and coordination.
"By pretreating a client with perispinally administered etanercept (Enbrel), we vastly speed up the entire process and obtain results that would not be possible without the Enbrel," stated Phillip Koss a ATQDA certified motor skills specialist. For example, an individual with stroke who is completely unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair could, after a series of daily treatments over several months, walk with a walker or even crutches. When such an individual is pretreated with perispinally administered Enbrel, the treatment is shortened from several months to a few weeks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors say they won't oppose a light sentence for a former District of Columbia Council candidate who lied about his campaign financing.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/1vLlEXt ) reports that prosecutors say they will defer to Judge Anita Josey-Herring at Jeff Smith's sentencing Thursday in D.C. Superior Court. They cite his cooperation, lack of prior convictions and previous community service.
Smith pleaded guilty June 23 to making a false statement to the District's campaign finance office regarding his failed run against Councilmember Jim Graham in a 2010 Democratic primary. As part of the plea, Smith acknowledged that businessman Jeffrey Thompson had secretly funneled $140,000 to his campaign.
Thompson has pleaded guilty to setting up a $668,000 slush fund that year for Gray's campaign that year.

The Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach fire departments responded to a report of an overturned boat on the east end of the Sunset Beach at about 10:45 p.m. Thursday night. They later found that the boat's owner was already safe on shore.
Two responders from Sunset Beach and one from Ocean Isle were injured during the search for the boater, according to Sunset Beach Assistant Chief Scott Bookout, but have recovered.
Two "suspicious fires" are under further investigation, according to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office.
A residential fire on Market Street in Wildwood Village in Shallotte is being investigated, after a suspect threw an unknown fuel on the back of the house Friday. According to the incident report, the fire caused $200 worth of damage to the wood siding.
On Sunday, a suspect set fire to objects in the back of a truck located at a residence on Alvin Street in Supply, causing $500 worth of damage to the 1985 Chevy pick-up.
Directors of Brunswick Little Theatre's "The Music Man" set three goals for the 67-person musical cast during a recent rehearsal: act with energy, minimize outside conversation and go through every scene without stopping.
The cast seemed ready to tackle their instructions and launched into a quick run-through of the song "Ya Got Trouble" before starting the scene from the top.
CALABASH—Calabash Fire Chief Carl Naecker has resigned.
Naecker's resignation officially took effect last Friday, July 24.
Naecker, 58, was appointed interim chief to fill the department's leadership vacancy last Aug. 1 after longtime department Chief Karl Bennett announced retirement plans. Naecker officially became chief of the department in December.
Fire department board chairman Jennings Edge said he didn't know Naecker's reasons for resigning.
About 20 people who bought property at the now-defunct San Rio Ocean and River Club subdivision off Gray Bridge Road are preparing to file a lawsuit in Brunswick County Court.
They hope to receive the money they invested in property that has not been developed and appears to have been abandoned.
George Dedrick of Gibsonville said this week he and fellow San Rio property owner Kevin Brown began working with their banks to get their mortgages adjusted so they did not have to make balloon payments on a property without infrastructure that could not be developed.
A Brunswick County jury couldn't come to a decision on whether to convict or acquit an 18-year-old West Virginia man accused of raping a girl in Brunswick County.
The suspect is now free on bond, and another trial is not likely until next year, according to assistant district attorney Meredith Everhart, who prosecutes sex offenses and child abuse cases.
Brunswick County Emergency Medical Services and Tri-Beach Fire Department responded to a call about 12:12 p.m. Thursday of a man body surfing on Holden Beach who was driven into the sand by a wave, according to Brian Watts, director of Brunswick County EMS. The man complained of back and neck pain, and EMS decided to call the AirLink helicopter to take him to New Hanover Regional Medical Center 'instead of taking a chance' and transporting him via ambulance. The man's name and condition have not been released.
The N.C. House of Representatives has approved the third reading of a bill that would allow property owners to force a referendum for pending involuntary annexations.
The bill now goes to the Senate, but at least one representative says it's going to be a hard fight there.
House Bill 524 passed its third and final vote last Thursday and includes a provision for town residents or residents of the area to be annexed to petition for a referendum as well as a requirement for the town to provide services to the annexed area.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Animal Services is continuing to suspend dog adoptions after more cases of distemper were confirmed earlier this month.
Two weeks ago, two dogs at the shelter developed a respiratory illness. Laboratory results confirmed the cause of the illness to be distemper.
Canine distemper is caused by a virus that is a highly contagious disease of wild and domestic carnivores.
CAROLINA SHORES—After appointing former Mayor Dan Mann to fill a vacant seat and serve as mayor pro tem, town commissioners voted 3-2 Friday to censure current Mayor Stephen Selby for "inconsistent" behavior.
The board censored the public by refusing to allow comments at the specially called meeting. An agenda stated no public comment would be allowed and cited a state statute that has no such provision.
Mann and commissioners Gere Dale and Tom Puls voted for the resolution to censure Selby; commissioners Joseph Przywara and John Russo voted against it.

Wow, that's awesome news! Good luck.
Good to know, I gave it a shot. I double checked the correct path to the db and rate.in on the local machine in the db.ini and RRmedia still insists on building a new db in the network folder. Am I to leave the db and rate.in file in the network folder as well as the local folder?
Still cant seem to crack this 800X480 though.
I renamed bottombuttons.txt to 600 and dropp ed the 480 one into the root, renamed it "BottomButtons.txt
I changed general.ini to reflect the res i am trying to achieve. Font seems to be an issue an now. I have those numbers down at the bottom where the buttons are instead of labels and volume/cpu % more cut off now. I also cannot see the browser list. If I switch back to my larger test display no issue there doesn't seem to be a media path issue. Perhaps a font problem? :noidea:
Here is the bottombuttons.txt I have in use with the issues.
L,304,537,77,42,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,40,"DigitalFX Font","=2","CENTER"

No, as those settings override the default musicpath locations. Those files should only be in one location, as its only gonna read/write to one.
Just did a quick re-test of the tmp local locations setting and works fine here. Built the db in the default loc(music folder on network path), moved files, set settings, and started RR, when into rrmedia browser and list was both there and correct
TempDbLoc=C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Desktop\RRMedia Data\RRMediaDB.db
TempRtLoc=C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Desktop\RRMedia Data\Rate.in_
Though, that part seems to work fine, when i select something to play, it creates the playlist correctly but WA wont play it.
[play issue fixed with a unreleased rr version, post May release]
Your font issue is exactly that...the font referenced in that old file is wrong, should be "DFX Font"
Here is the correct version of the file. The one from the OLD skin release, had the incorrect font name. Rename this to BottomButtons.txt and put it in the root skin folder. Then the buttons will work correctly on a 800 x 480 screen.
Keep a copy of the original named file for reference in the skin folder as well.
Ahh...Thanks! Yeah that file is the one that was in Backup user profile 1 listed as BottomButtons_480.txt Might want to check that out for release then.
As for the Database locally, I failed to follow a simple space in the root of the folder. My named folder was RRMedia DB and I had it as RRMediaDB.
It does fly now!
Almost got this all sorted out except for the Ilist/list in browser. On a regular TFT LCD I see it no problem. Switch to the 7" touch and in RR/DFX when I go into the browser the list's are empty, well really just not displayed. I made sure flash is current etc.. What handles the list's display? This is on a win7 x86 install.
Thanks, very very much.
the list, if an ilist is Directx drawn
UPDATE: Updated directX runtime and I was able to see the list, then it disappeared. I'm sending the monitor back. Apparently it does not support OpenGl nor' DirectX officially...Weird. What a waste.
This is actually the monitor here.
It is offered in the MP3car.com store. I hope they are aware of it's limitations in the CarPC application.
My first thought was that is impossible. A monitor shows what it is told to really.... Having Medal of Honor work on one monitor, and Brothers In Arms not, would cause ALL sorts of problems in the PC world.
I followed you link to the monitor and see that it is a USB monitor. That explains it! There just is not enough bandwidth in a USB cable for perfect video. They are great for many applications, but can have a lot of lag and skipped frames. The drivers probably are drawing the iList, as you said you saw it for a second, then disappears, but then not updating the list and redrawing it.
It's almost the way video over a remote desktop connection would work. Yea, if you want video and iLists, you need to stick with a VGA. HDMI, DVI monitor for sure.

"We think that's probably because people were more diligent about using the sanitizer after a GI-related incident, such as using the bathroom or vomiting, than after a respiratory incident, such as nose-wiping or sneezing," says Sandora, also an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
A related study from Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston, published in the April issue of Pediatrics, did observe a protective effect against respiratory illness among families who used hand sanitizer gels at their own initiative.
The alcohol-based gels, widely available in stores, do not require water and rapidly kill most bacteria and viruses on the skin. They are a convenient alternative for busy parents who are unable to get to a sink while caring for sick children.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 7.5 million children under age 5 are enrolled in day care, placing them at high risk for respiratory and GI infections, which they readily transmit to household members.
Although handwashing with soap and water is effective in reducing the spread of most infections, it requires access to a sink. In addition, there is evidence that rotavirus, the most common GI infection in the child-care setting, is not removed effectively by soap and water but is reliably killed by alcohol.

Is Switzerland among them? Read a Swiss attack on Jed Babbin. Plus much mroe.
Re: Lawrence Henry's Summer Stock:
I can remember the thought of some of my friends and family members who are invested. The towers were down but the markets were active (though not where they wanted them to be) and not many of my friends chose to pull out of the markets. We had hope.
Then the bookkeeping irregularities were exposed and heads started to roll and corporations started to do the fandango to get out of trouble as politicians and CEOs lined their pockets -- but investors who knew what they were doing kept doing what they had confidence in. We had hope.
We are smarter and more informed (and more opinionated) than ever before, and it is my opinion that this country's citizens may not have the best people representing them in government and they may not trust the heads of corporations but they have hope in a country that opens its borders to everyone (including terrorists -- theological, political or corporate) knowing that one day, the truth will be known and our country will return to stability that grows in the midst of turmoil.

Re: Bill Croke's The Thorofare:
I have lived in New York State my entire life. I used to feel a sense of pride to admit that, but I've grown to almost hate this state. The taxes, the crowds, its ever-increasing liberalism and, of course, Her Royal Clintoness. There was a time when I would have fought the good fight, but I've grown tired/selfish, especially ever since discovering Bill Croke's columns on Wyoming. Wyoming may be mostly worthless sagebrush, but Mr. Croke makes it sound like heaven. Keep his columns coming.

Re: Babbin's quoting Eleanor Clift, who says Tony Blair is "merely Mr. Bush's Smokescreen, his speech an intended diversion from 'uraniumgate' ... "
Eleanor Clift is merely a squawking, incompetent, left-wing hag, who would never have made it beyond office girl if mainstream journalistic practices were basis on value of product.
-- Carl Gordon Pyper
Monett, MO
There are days when we read and can't believe, read again and have a laugh. Courageous Jed Babbin ... the people of the United States must rejoice in the fact that he was and is no more Undersecretary of Defence -- his vision is that of a blindfolded mole with dark sunglasses in a heap of coal dust.
For one thing, there's little hate in European governments for the American and British leaders, but serious concern about policies that have the potential of doing more damage than good. And that concern is shared by an ever growing number of American citizens. But let's leave the silly tit-for-tat babble apart.
Here's what really strikes me: For many years we have experienced a belligerent Islam worldwide, we know that in many Mosques the superiority of that religion is spread in loud words. We know that, just for example, in Shiite circles "dogs and infidels -- among many other things -- are impure and must not be admitted to a good Muslim's home." We know that Sunnite money has fed conflicts everywhere (including the war between two cultures formerly living peacefully side by side in southern Ex-Yugoslavia), and still there's no clear word from any of the "tough" Presidents and Prime Ministers and Chancellors to silence all Imams who don't show absolute respect for the most basic human rights of self-determination. "Freedom of religion above all" has become so obsolete, and still no one in the top ranks dares dispose of it. No-one discards the Jewish claim for the "Holy Land" as bogus, even though, if that right was applied to other cultures and other parts of the world, we would see an insane reshuffle of populations, and an endless stream of fugitives. Neither Bush nor Blair nor Chirac nor our terribly soft-spoken Swiss government hits out against the bloody Hindi caste system on the Indian subcontinent. No, our "leaders" are proud to tell everyone how they pray to God every day, and downplay THE SECULAR FOUNDATIONS AND VALUES OF OUR STATES, DERIVED FROM ENLIGHTENED PHILOSOPHIES, ESSENTIAL FOR ANY FREE SOCIETY.
For men like Jed Babbin it's still a game of "the good guys against the bad," it's bombs and rockets and guns, it's pounding his breast with hard fists and sneering at considerate friends. He should, just for a couple of minutes, think about the Jesuits' conviction: "Let us educate young persons until they're fourteen, and they will live according to our rules for the rest of their lives." With a bit of luck, American troops can "take out" a criminal like Saddam Hussein, but it takes years and years of hard action against "religious leaders" as well as relentless, uncompromising re-education at all levels to change the mindset of hardcore believers -- and they come in the hundreds of millions. Then, maybe, we will see the rise of new democratic societies living in peace with their neighbours.
-- Kurt Schori
Biel-Bienne, Switzerland
Jed Babbin replies:
I always love it when the girly-boys of Old Europe tell us what we Americans are thinking. Better to read and not believe, read again and laugh, and read a third time -- for comprehension.
I'm so glad that there is concern about American and British leaders among the European governments. We reckless cowboys deserve much minding, especially when we're saving the necks of the EUnuchs. Again. What Mr. Schori preaches is the destruction of what he thinks is a few dangerous religions. "Silence all Imams who don't show absolute respect for the most basic human rights of self-determination"? The bloody Hindi caste system? Discard the bogus Jewish claim to the Holy Land? Freedom of religion is obsolete? I thank God and my parents that I was born in the United States, not Switzerland or anywhere else that such neo-Nazi drivel can be taken seriously.
It is -- and always will be -- the good guys against the bad guys. At least we can tell the difference, and it's a pity (as it has been since before 1776) that Mr. Schori and his ilk can't. "Considerate friends," Mr. Schori? Tell it to the Marines.
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Lack of Intelligence:
An excellent commentary. Media folks who bemoan fractional estimates in this war on terror and attempt to track down every uttered sentence have no difficulty in accepting wildly overinflated AIDS estimates with no hard evidence to back up any projections at all. It is simply amazing to me, given the fact that New Jersey has more doctors than all of sub-Saharan Africa, that any of these utterances are accepted as fact -- unless, of course, we figure in "the agenda" factor which is at work throughout the national press.

Re: George Neumayr's Soak the Middle Class:
What do you expect from liberals? Intelligent behavior? Logic? No, you should expect idiocy and stupidity and emotion. Our grand daughter graduated from an accredited HS to UC Berkeley and as you know the constitution of the state requires UC to take anyone with a B average or better. Her average was A!! Did she get in? With a name like Seana Berry (as Irish a name as you can get) the answer was NO. She is Oriental, and adopted, two strikes right there.
Diversity is not their goal, control is! Control of the outcome of elections. Diversity of ideas is definitely not what they want. Just put out a conservative pamphlet on the UC campus and see how long it takes them to steal them all....

Re: John Corry's A Historic Blunder:
One of the numerous problems I have with John Corry's latest analysis of the Iraq war, "A Historic Blunder," is that his present rationale for attacking the decision to invade Iraq contradicts one of his earlier key reasons for opposing the war.
In a March 5 column also devoted to attacking the decision to eliminate Saddam Hussein's regime with military force, Corry's final argument was that the 9/11 devastation "would pall compared with the havoc al Qaeda could unleash with weapons of mass destruction. It is a supreme irony now that in an apparent attempt to prevent that from happening we may, in fact, be bringing it about. If Saddam Hussein knows his regime is ending, all constraints on his behavior will evaporate, and he may give al Qaeda what it wants. After all, he no longer will have anything to lose."
In his latest piece, Corry, echoing the usual Democrat carpers, says that no weapons of mass destruction have been found and no Saddam Hussein links with al Qaeda have been discovered and therefore "the stated rationale for invading Iraq has collapsed." So on March 5 Corry emphasized that invading Iraq was too dangerous if Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Now he says the war can't be justified if Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Which is it, Mr. Corry?
If we cut through the wind and ink now being expended on the rationale for the war, the available evidence indicates that in the Bush Administration, the decision to invade Iraq was a slam dunk. It appears that within a few days after 9/11, the final decisions had been made to (1) take out the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and (2) take out Saddam Hussein.
The Army began training the Georgia-based 3d Infantry Division, (which I was in for 16 months) to fight a desert war within a very few weeks after 9/11. What were they training for if not a war in Iraq? An invasion of the Australian Outback?

Johnson: Get on track with heart health
Women's brunch offers perfect start
How healthy is your heart?
If you have had your blood pressure and cholesterol checked recently, good for you.
If not, I urge you to do so as soon as possible.
And if you want to have fun, raise awareness of women's heart health issues and enjoy a great brunch along with getting your blood tests done, join me at the United Regional Foundation's Heart of a Woman Brunch Feb. 11 at the Multi-Purpose Events Center.
I've attended the brunch in the past and am excited that this year's featured speaker is Deborah Norville, anchor on "Inside Edition" and the author of several books. Norville will talk about the power of gratitude and maintaining a positive outlook despite challenges. Stress is ever-present in our fast-paced, hectic world and I think most women do not understand the negative effect of too much stress on our hearts.
What makes this brunch even more special is that this year, I have a story of my own to share about heart health and the power of being aware of your risks.
My grandmother died of a heart attack in the early 1990s. I was devastated, and although I spent several years in denial about my own heart health, back in 2006, I was in trouble. With high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high triglycerides, I was on a path to an early grave.
Mix in my pack-a-day smoking habit, my lack of exercise and my reliance on high-fat, high-sugar foods, and I had a perfect storm for heart disease.
My doctor told me I was unhealthy, I felt unhappy and I needed to change my life for good or I wouldn't be around for long.
Fast forward to 2012. I quit smoking, lost more than 100 pounds, began a daily exercise regimen and altered my eating habits to include heart health foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats like olive oil. My blood work came out in January and it was great, but I was unhappy to learn that I had an abnormal EKG reading. My doctor sent me to a specialist for more tests, to make sure I hadn't suffered any damage to my heart.
Imagine how terrified I felt sitting in that office thinking about my grandmother and wondering if everything I had done to lose weight and gain health was all for nothing?
My cardiologist eased my mind with a few tests and some simple advice. He told me to quit taking on other people's stress. I listened. Thankfully, my heart is fine and I'm still working to get healthier.
You can't change your genetic makeup, but you can certainly change your habits to limit your heart disease risk.
Get your blood work done, either at the Heart of a Woman brunch, or at your regularly-scheduled checkup, and find out where you stand on cholesterol and triglycerides.
Get permission from your doctor and start exercising. You don't have to run a marathon, just a 30-minute walk every day can give your heart much-needed activity and will benefit you. Quit smoking, please. And finally, renovate your eating habits and limit high-fat, high-sugar foods. You don't have to quit my famous chicken fried steak for good, but eating it every week isn't a good idea.
Sure, these suggestions may seem far-fetched, or impossible, but I know that if a fried food-loving, exercise-hating, ex-smoker like me can get in shape, you can too.
I can give you one good reason — if you do, hopefully, your daughter or granddaughter won't grow up without you.

Two suspected accomplices accused of stealing a vehicle entered "not guilty" pleas Monday in Huron County Common Pleas Court.
Shane E. Danielson, 24, of 9217 Ransom Road, Monroeville, and Brett M. Smith, 22, of Clyde, are charged with theft of a motor vehicle in connection with a May 3 incident.
Both defendants earlier posted a $5,000 bond. Judge Jim Conway has prohibited them from being on the premises of Smiley Automotive in Norwalk.
The court scheduled a Sept. 24 trial date for Danielson, who said he has a prior felony conviction through Sandusky County. Smith's trial is set for Sept. 3.
If convicted, each defendant faces six to 18 months behind bars.

inside story.
EPIC by Nextec fabric. It's water resistant, windproof, breathable and
washable. But how? Nextec's patented Nextec encapsulation process is what
makes it possible. The protection is inside the fabric, encapsulating
the actual fibers for weatherproof performance. No laminates. No coatings.
But more on that later.
Some fabrics pursue
performance by applying a coating to one or both sides of the material.
Water resistance improves, but the coating decreases breathability, drape
and packability, especially when the mercury drops.
Laminated fabrics
are created by bonding a film onto the back of a material. The result
is a waterproof fabric that can be seam taped. The downside is that breathability
is compromised and the fabric feels as stiff as a board. If a DWR is also
used it will eventually wear off and the fabric face will absorb water.
As the water attempts to evaporate it robs your body heat, leaving you
cold, damp, and generally miserable.
Nextec's encapsulation
process delivers the all-weather protection you need, without sacrificing

I originally choose this hotel because I go to one in Wisconsin and my experiences there always exceeded my expectations. This Baymont fell way below that level of cleanliness, service and overall appeal. I walked in to read a sign that the front desk person had stepped out and I had to wait 5 minutes, and when she returned she kept asking me the same question over and over as of she was intoxicated or something. Just did not meet my expectations knowing there are other Baymonts in better shape. ...

DULUTH -- This time, the race hits home.
Just before 24 police officers and firefighters set out on a 600-mile relay run to Tampa, Fla., one of their own wished them luck as they set out to honor her son, one step at a time.
Sherry Fields, a crime analyst with the Gwinnett Police Department, said she was amazed that her friends and colleagues who support the nonprofit Operation One Voice would run all the way to Tampa to honor her son, Staff Sgt. Shaun Meadows.
Meadows, a Winder-Barrow High School graduate, was injured on July 31, 2008 -- his birthday -- while deployed as a member of an Air Force Special Forces team.
A double amputee, Meadows has returned to his unit, and was planning to participate in the race this Veterans Day weekend. But instead he had to report to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to have his prosthetic legs fitted.
Fields' sergeant in the county police force took Meadows' place, alongside colleagues of Meadow's step-father, who recently retired from the county fire department.
"It's a good feeling to know so many love and care for us," Fields said, adding that the group helped the family arrange to be with Meadows after he was injured. "They've been wonderful to us and to Shaun."
Operation One Voice Special Operations Forces Run is in its fifth year. Organized by Duluth Police Lt. Bill Stevens, the run is completed by 24 runners who run for an hour each at a time, running around the clock 72 hours to reach Busch Gardens.
With a motorcycle unit leading the way and a bus for the men and women waiting their turns to run, stops are scheduled for Atlanta, Albany, Tallahassee, Fla., and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
"I'll be thinking about you the whole race," Fields told the group, which included officers from Tallahassee.
Hall County firefighter Steve Durling, who is participating in his fourth run, said he is honored to meet special operations soldiers and airmen along the journey.
"It's an incredible honor to meet these guys, these soldiers who perform those dangerous tasks with the military," Durling said. "It's just police and fire giving back."
The race itself, he said, is powerful.
"It's so exhilarating. When you are going as hard as you can, it's fantastic," he said.

Just a few drops in per oz of carrier oil ( am using jojoba and rosehip ). I have sensitive skin and this product does not irritate. In fact, it soothes and reduces redness on my skin.
Potent smell

This data contains Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) profiles of the underside of the Arctic pack ice along three transects whose total length is 777 nautical miles. The data were obtained by the USS Gurnard (SSN-662), a U.S. Navy submarine, on a traverse of the AIDJEX Main Experiment area in the Beaufort Sea from 07 April 1976 to 10 April 1976. The sea ice thickness derived from the ULS is given in feet.The data are in a single ASCII text file: Aidjex_04_1976_uls.txt. The data in this text file are not formatted into columns; all data are presented in one long row separated by spaces. Little is known about the format of the file, so caution should be used when working with the data. NSIDC is providing this data as part of our effort to preserve historical data. The data file begins with nine values that appear to be header information. These nine values include latitude and longitude values along with other unknown values. After the header, there are approximately 2100 measurements of what NSIDC believes is sea ice thickness in feet, however it is unclear how often these measurements were taken. After these 2100 values, another header of nine values occurs followed again by 2100 measurements. The file continues in this pattern through the remainder of the file. Users with information about the contents of the file are encouraged to contact NSIDC User Services.Two supporting documents that provide some background have been scanned and included as PDF files. These are AIDJEX_ULS_background.pdf and AIDJEX_ULS_format.pdf. These data are available via FTP. Note: These data are in a raw format with unknown fields and are being provided as is for preservation purposes. A processed version of the data are available in the Submarine Upward Looking Sonar Ice Draft Profile Data and Statistics data set.

First time watching Enterprise!

Re: First time watching Enterprise!
Ive seen this one before its on my Borg fan collective dvd set. It has Bonita in it, phloxs real life wife, I had the opportunity to meet her once and she is so lovely and awesome not to mention does a great job as General Beckman in the series Chuck.
It feels like this episode has a different tone to the rest of the series with the focus on the threat posed by these unknown beings and lots of tension as their attempts to stop the Borg drones mostly fail. I kinda like the episode but the whole thing where Phlox just invents a way to cure a Borg nano probe infection annoys me as well as the whole here are the Borg and in the future when Picard and his crew encounter them for the first time there wont be any record of this encounter of Phloxs nano probe cure (not that the Borg Picard and crew encountered had nano probes cause they happened later).
It gets three stars.
First Flight
I have heard it said that the creators of Enterpise originally wanted the first season or half a season to be set on earth and show the events leading up to the creation and launch of Enterprise. I dont know how true that is but if this was the kind of stories they had in mind then I would have loved having the first half of season one being on earth.
I love this episode. We get to see some backstory for Archer and Trip and how they met. We get to see that bar maid that has been mentioned in previous episodes by various characters. We get a really good character in the form of Robinson I wish eh was in more episodes. We also get to see the Vulcans being frustrating in their interference and influence in the development of human technology.
The events in this episode make Archers earlier behaviour toward Vulcans just as dickish as before but more understandable if you see it as the result of years, decades even, of having to put up with this kind of interference.
I'm hoping there are more episodes like this one and I award it a full five stars

The Occupy Wall Street movement started as a handful of people camping in public spaces. OWS chose to establish itself in this way to make a public commentary about the people's need to reoccupy both the physical and virtual commons.
But for some, these encampments were eyesores, public nuisances, and an inconvenient reminder that millions of poor and suffering people have been marginalized by corrupt political and economic policies. So many cities, with help and encouragement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, used public tax dollars to force protesters out of their camp.
Now, almost four months into the Occupy Wall Street movement, camping occupations in many major cities have been permanently evicted. Although the Mayors who ordered these evictions probably thought OWS would die without 24-hour demonstrations, they grossly misjudged the movement's capacity for virtual organization and discussion. They also misjudged OWS's legal prowess.
Protesters have filed a flurry of lawsuits in state and federal courts from coast to coast. While the mainstream media is happy to forget the infringement of Constitutional Rights and police brutality that greeted peaceful protesters in cities like New York and Oakland, the legal teams representing Occupy Wall Street have not.
"When I think about the tents as an expression of the First Amendment here, I compare it to Tahrir Square in Egypt," said Carol Sobel, co-chairwoman of the National Lawyers Guild's Mass Defense Committee. "Our government is outraged when military forces and those governments come down on the demonstrators. But they won't extend the same rights in this country," she said. "They praise that as a fight for democracy, the values we treasure. It comes here and these people are riffraff."
The eviction of Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park was one of the most hotly contested evictions. Police deliberately raided the camp in the middle of the night, destroying personal property, the medical tent and kitchen, and confiscating thousands of books that had been donated to the OWS library. The next morning, 11 members of the New York City Council condemned the eviction and mass arrests, and media figures chastised the NYPD for blocking press access during the eviction.
While many of the plaintiffs in these cases feel that these lawsuits make an important statement about free speech and the preservation of civil rights, it's important to remember that the First Amendment won't absolve them of questionable behavior during protests.
Gene Policinski, executive director of the First Amendment Center in Nashville, Tenn., said police overreacted to the Occupy movement in some cities, which probably earned protesters some new support. Still, he noted, protesters' First Amendment rights are not without limitation.
"We've always had to balance our rights," he said. "No one can really claim you have an unfettered unlimited First Amendment rights. The courts are there to say, wait a minute, that goes too far, or that's OK. It is part of that give and take. Of course we all wish our rights were never intruded upon."

You never fail until you stop trying.
A speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, 1967, a declaration not unlike our own,
For a complete version, go to:
What I'm saying to you this morning is communism forgets that life is individual. (Yes) Capitalism forgets that life is social. (Yes, Go ahead) And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis. (Speak) [applause] It is found in a higher synthesis (Come on) that combines the truths of both. (Yes) Now, when I say questioning the whole society, it means ultimately coming to see that the problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. (All right) These are the triple evils that are interrelated.
Continued from Above:
And if you will let me be a preacher just a little bit. (Speak) One day [applause], one night, a juror came to Jesus (Yes sir) and he wanted to know what he could do to be saved. (Yeah) Jesus didn't get bogged down on the kind of isolated approach of what you shouldn't do. Jesus didn't say, "Now Nicodemus, you must stop lying." (Oh yeah) He didn't say, "Nicodemus, now you must not commit adultery." He didn't say, "Now Nicodemus, you must stop cheating if you are doing that." He didn't say, "Nicodemus, you must stop drinking liquor if you are doing that excessively." He said something altogether different, because Jesus realized something basic (Yes): that if a man will lie, he will steal. (Yes) And if a man will steal, he will kill. (Yes) So instead of just getting bogged down on one thing, Jesus looked at him and said, "Nicodemus, you must be born again." [applause]
In other words, "Your whole structure (Yes) must be changed." [applause] A nation that will keep people in slavery for 244 years will "thingify" them and make them things. (Speak) And therefore, they will exploit them and poor people generally economically. (Yes) And a nation that will exploit economically will have to have foreign investments and everything else, and it will have to use its military might to protect them. All of these problems are tied together. (Yes) [applause]
What I'm saying today is that we must go from this convention and say, "America, you must be born again!
Continued from Above:
Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds. (All right)
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of wealth and comfort from the inner city of poverty and despair shall be crushed by the battering rams of the forces of justice. (Yes sir)
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until those who live on the outskirts of hope are brought into the metropolis of daily security.
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until slums are cast into the junk heaps of history (Yes), and every family will live in a decent, sanitary home.
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until the dark yesterdays of segregated schools will be transformed into bright tomorrows of quality integrated education.
Let us be dissatisfied until integration is not seen as a problem but as an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity.
Let us be dissatisfied (All right) until men and women, however black they may be, will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not on the basis of the color of their skin. (Yeah) Let us be dissatisfied. [applause]
Let us be dissatisfied (Well) until every state capitol (Yes) will be housed by a governor who will do justly, who will love mercy, and who will walk humbly with his God.
Continued from Above:
Let us be dissatisfied [applause] until from every city hall, justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Yes)
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until that day when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together (Yes), and every man will sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid.
Let us be dissatisfied (Yes), and men will recognize that out of one blood (Yes) God made all men to dwell upon the face of the earth. (Speak sir)
Let us be dissatisfied until that day when nobody will shout, "White Power!" when nobody will shout, "Black Power!" but everybody will talk about God's power and human power. [applause]
And I must confess, my friends (Yes sir), that the road ahead will not always be smooth. (Yes) There will still be rocky places of frustration (Yes) and meandering points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there. (Yes) And there will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair. (Well) Our dreams will sometimes be shattered and our ethereal hopes blasted. (Yes) We may again, with tear-drenched eyes, have to stand before the bier of some courageous civil rights worker whose life will be snuffed out by the dastardly acts of bloodthirsty mobs. (Well) But difficult and painful as it is (Well), we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. (Well) And as we continue our charted course, we may gain con
Continued from Above:
Stony the road we trod (Yes),
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days
When hope unborn had died. (Yes)
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place
For which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way
That with tears has been watered. (Well)
We have come treading our paths
Through the blood of the slaughtered.
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last (Yes)
Where the bright gleam
Of our bright star is cast.
Let this affirmation be our ringing cry. (Well) It will give us the courage to face the uncertainties of the future. It will give our tired feet new strength as we continue our forward stride toward the city of freedom. (Yes) When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair (Well), and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights (Well), let us remember (Yes) that there is a creative force in this universe working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil (Well), a power that is able to make a way out of no way (Yes) and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. (Speak)
Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Let us realize that William Cullen Bryant is right: "Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again." Let us go out realizing that the Bible is right: "Be not deceived. God is not mocked. (Oh yeah) Whatsoever a man soweth (Yes), that (Yes) shall he also reap." This is our hope for th
Good members of Care2, Meet George Vreeland Hill, a new plant of the right, a true Tea Bagger, a want-a-be 1%er. It shall never be, and yet he so hopes.
I am anxious for him to go up against Diane O. the clash of the mini Titans, two 1% want-a-be's.
Is it possible that it is actually D.O. in disguise, only time will tell.
George Vreeland Hill, Thanks for your style of humor, or was it your attempt to appear intelligent.
Guess what? All you have proven is how stupid you actually are, I don't mean that as an insult, but an observation. I read your"words" 3X are each time I did, they made less sense.
My suggestion to you, go back to your handlers at Homeland of Insecurity and tells that you failed to impress or suppress. It is then that you will realize how much the 1% actually care for your ilk, a classic traitor to the Republic.
I would wager that you were that kid trying who was always trying to impress your teacher by being the class snitch.
You should have stayed with that security/watchman job, back in New Hampshire. I see that you have risen to Cyber Con, with your plea to have people sent you donations. Border line illegal.
There is a need for security guards even in Beverly Hills, Try Border Patrol, their entry qualifications are low and you need not have much of an education. Sounds perfect for you.
Geo Vreeland Hill, not bad for your 1st day on Care2.
The Occupy Movement needs to expand its voice.
Each of us are to be counted among the 99%.
Someone need to speak for those who believe that they have no voice.
To like to Rich, is to suggest that one envies the Rich.
Few of the Rich started from nothing.
Steve Jobs parents were not poor, they were part of the 99%, the Middle Class.
To suggest that they did not complain is Infantile logic.
We all work out our ideas, some are more successful than others.
The top 1% take jobs away from the Middle Class, to suggest otherwise goes to prove ones lack of education. The Middle Class is shrinking.
The majority of Americans jobs were started on Main Street, not Wall Street.
They were bought out or forced out by the wealthy, goes to the point about education.
Stating that the 1% is an Enemy of the people, is a correct statement.
The truth is that it has always been the American people, the 99% who made America Great, the rich just line their pockets on the backs of the citizens.
And yet, if this "person" were to be asked a single question about the Movement, that "person" would draw a blank, perhaps that is a normal condition.
Quite the opposite, our 1st goal was to see that all Americans come to realize their voice.
