5 Movie Apocalypses That Would Defeat Themselves
You have to think that one reason people are so pessimistic these days is that when we were growing up, every third movie involved an apocalypse ... via zombies, robots, monkeys or natural disaster. It can be kind of a downer, but if you want to make yourself feel better, all you need to do is remember that almost none of the apocalyptic scenarios actually work.
What do we mean? Well ...
#5. In the Terminator Series, the Machines Have No One to Build Their Army
In the Terminator series, the American government ill-advisedly relinquishes control of their nuclear defense system to an unfeeling artificial intelligence programmed only to kill. It proceeds to do so indiscriminately, and mankind is reduced to a few scattered rebels fending off hordes of Austrian robots.
"Sir, may I ask why it's giggling?"
So, What's the Problem?
Who or what is building all those Schwarzeneggers?
At the time when Skynet initially nukes the world, it's still just a computer program drifting around the Internet. Sure, it has access to nuclear launch codes, but not to more delicate equipment like opposable thumbs. Even if we assume that, in the world of the film, Skynet is able to hack into and usurp control of every factory and power plant through the Internet, it's still inheriting a world of machines designed to be operated by humans. That means valves need to be turned, buttons need to be pressed and levers need to be pulled. And just in case you're assuming that Terminator takes place in some kind of post-valve world, these scenes from Terminator Salvation would seem to suggest otherwise:
"Wait, I'm not here to kill you. I just need you to show me how these valves work."
"We've got to get away from these valves. If they find us, they'll make us turn them."
If you're thinking that Skynet probably just employs a division of Terminators to operate its factories, you're missing the point -- the computer didn't have access to Terminators back when it killed off all the humans. In fact, the most sophisticated robot that Skynet had access to at the time, the T-1, was a goofy-looking tank with Gatling guns instead of hands that could barely fit through a doorway, let alone turn a valve.
It can play the guitar surprisingly well, though.
It doesn't really matter how smart the computer is -- it can't recommission a car factory, for example, to start churning out Terminators. And even if it could, how is it going to mine the ore, refine the metal and drive it in trucks to those factories? You know, all that stuff that still has to be done by human beings with hands?
In reality, after it nuked everybody, Skynet would probably be left with very little to do in the few days it had to live before something important broke somewhere.

Turns out that beating it was as simple as running Skyrim on its primitive graphics card.
#4. The Demographics in The Matrix Can't Possibly Match the Real World
In the Matrix universe, everyone in the world thinks that they're living perfectly normal lives within a normal (if slightly green-tinted) modern world, when in actuality they're living in a computer simulation and their unconscious bodies are really lying in tubs of pink goop. And, most importantly, they're living in a year that is decades later than anyone realizes.
If the machines are behind all popular culture, The Matrix is a surprisingly optimistic view of humanity.
So, What's the Problem?
There are two important things to know here. First, it's established that everyone in the Matrix looks pretty much the same way they do in the real world, sans body hair and a tan (they go out of their way to point this out, calling it their "residual self-image"). If you're a man in the Matrix, you're a man in the real-world pod. Black people are black, white people are white and Asian people are Asian. And Neo looks like the offspring of his parents, which means that when a baby is born in the Matrix, the genes were taken from parents in the real world.
Now, we know what you're thinking: "That means that every time a man has sex in the Matrix, inside his real-world pod a robot hand comes out and jerks him off and collects the semen. No wonder they hate us!" This is no doubt true, but it's not the point we're making.
It also means there's a flying house-call dildo with AI.
The problem is that the demographics of the Matrix can't match up with the real world.
Remember, we know that the Matrix simulation has been running for at least 50 years (in Reloaded, we meet an old man in the real world who said he was freed from the Matrix when he was 11). That means that when it started, the simulation was pretending it was the year 1950, when the real world was around the year 2150. But the demographics and population of 1950 were hugely different from what they are even now (with Africa's population increasing at a much faster rate than, say, Europe's or Japan's), let alone what they'd look like 200 years into the future.
In fact, the numbers of European and Japanese children in the world are actually shrinking over time. Europe's population of children aged 0 to 14 has shrunk from 143 million in 1950 to 127 million in 2000, and Japan's has gone from 30 million in 1950 to about 18.5 million in 2000. In other words, the machines would be short millions of children and would be forced to take tens of millions of children from Africa and reassign them to be children in Europe and Japan and try to convince the population that they are their naturally born kin.
"Honey, we need to have a talk. Now, I'm not accusing you of cheating or anything ..."
Considering that the Matrix simulation is so fragile that the vaguest idea that something is wrong with the world can break people out of the spell, this is going to be more than just a minor problem for the machines. At the very least, a lot of white women are going to have a lot of explaining to do.
#3. The Monsters in I Am Legend Would Starve Within Weeks
I Am Legend is set 1,000 days after a virus has destroyed humanity. The seemingly lone survivor, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, lives in Manhattan and gathers food by day while fighting vampirelike plague victims called Darkseekers by night, in search for a cure to turn them back into regular, non-flesh-eating people.
And maybe come up with a good skin cream, because damn.
So, What's the Problem?
After the violence died down, there shouldn't be that many Darkseekers left in Manhattan. Only around, say, 10. That doesn't leave many for Will Smith's experiments.
There are 1.6 million people in Manhattan, and the movie tells us that around 1 percent survived with immunity, while 9 percent became Darkseekers. So, what do these 144,000 monsters eat? It's safe to say that there's not a lot of goods being shipped in from the mainland anymore.
And definitely not with the road department taking every weekend off.
Obviously, the first thing they did was chow down on the roughly 16,000 people who survived without monsterfication. Now, the CDC says the average American weighs 176.5 pounds, so we have about 2.8 million pounds of meat. Assuming human meat has the same calories as pork (about 1,100 calories per pound), each Darkseeker needs to eat about 2 pounds of human per day. So, by feasting on surviving humans, the 144,000 Darkseekers would ensure their survival for a whopping 10 days before everybody starts going hungry.
OK, how about deer? We know they eat deer. At their most densely populated, 60 deer can live in a square-mile area. Manhattan has about four square miles of parkland, so, being generous, there's 240 deer in Manhattan. So, if the Darkseekers eat half of the herd and leave the other half to repopulate, we can get about 21,000 pounds of meat a year from the deer population (about 58 pounds per day), which is enough food for about 19 Darkseekers to survive. Also, there are lions on the island. The adult lions by themselves would eat 27 pounds of deer per day. All told, there's enough food on the island for 10 Darkseekers.
"Simba, it's time I taught you about the food chain -- via a cheerful, bouncy rap tune."
But this is all splitting hairs anyway, considering that Will Smith would have killed them all for his experiments. The cure that he develops is referred to as his 391st attempt, so considering he's most likely wiped out the species he was trying to save, that kind of makes him the bad guy in this situation.

The industry that put Colon on the map was the source of awe and laughter for more than 100 people Wednesday.
The first of the four-day MagiCelebration culminated with an all-star magic show at Colon High School. Organized by Rick Fisher, owner of FAB Magic Co., MagiCelebration and the nightly showcase performances help mark the 10-year anniversary of Fisher's downtown Colon business.
Fisher said it was a relief to finally get the event underway.
"I'm not anxious in the sense of being nervous," he said prior opening night. "It's just been a long process that started a year ago and it's finally here."
Wednesday's show was a salute to veterans. As such, veterans and military families were admitted at no cost. The audience was treated to magic and comedy by Fisher and his sidekick, Riley Rabbit; special effects and illusions by Larry and Nancy Pew, who go by the stage name The Zodiacs; and a fast-paced series of illusions by Gordo and Company.
Steven Mahlburg of Tawas City said he and his family have attended performances in Colon in past years.
One of his four children won a writing contest and, as a result, received tickets to MagiCelebration.
"The kids love coming to Colon and we always look forward to the shows down here," he said.
Two of his four children will be a part of a youth stage contest at 9 a.m. Friday at the high school.
Fred Pessell, who lives in Barry County, said he found out about MagiCelebration through an advertisement in his local shopper's guide. He said the trip to Colon was a long time coming.
"I'd always wanted to take the grandkids to one of the magic shows here, but it never worked out," he said. "I finally decided this was the year and my grandson, Ross, was able to come with me."
Five-year-old Ross Pessell, who was entertaining himself with a magic wand purchased outside the gymnasium, said he hoped to see a disappearing rabbit.
"But it's really not magic … it's the way you move your arms and your magic wand that make the rabbit disappear," he said.
Elsewhere in town, a persistent mist kept action at a minimum. Debbie "Madam Zaleena" Morris, a Colon resident, had a small amount of action at her fortune-telling table. Using a 25-card deck of Russian Gypsy cards, Morris said the absence of Curly's will be especially glaring this week and during next week's Abbott's Magic Get-Together.
"I used to set up a table in there and there would always be a good crowd on hand," she said. "I know the weather isn't the best and it's opening night, so I think by Friday we'll have many more people around town."
Page 2 of 2 - For the record, she made the projection without consulting her cards.
MagiCelebration continues with a variety of events today, Friday and Saturday. The roster includes free magic shows at FAB magic at 2 p.m. daily, nightly shows at
8 p.m. at the high school (tickets
are $10 and $15) and other attractions.

Most Derby City natives claim they say it correctly. Those from beyond the Commonwealth have their fair share of input, too.
But, just how do you pronounce the "L" word?
It's simple to spell: "Louisville." Articulating it – not so much.
In fact, the debate on how to say the word has spurred many to seek a definitive answer to no avail, and prompted an ad campaign back in the '90s featuring five possible phonetic varieties (Looavul, Luhvul, Loueville, Looaville, Looeyville) heard throughout the region.
"(The campaign was) really based on what we heard and how we thought we would spell it," said Susan McNeese Lynch, former employee of the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau and current marketing consultant. "The reason why I (personally) honed in on this was because … I went on a Southwest Airlines flight and their whole opening introduction and the safety message was jokes about how to say 'Louisville.' George Carlin talked about how to say 'Louisville' (in his stand-up routine). I remember going back to people saying this is a major (campaign) because it shows … we don't take ourselves too seriously and it places focus and emphasis on the name of our city."
Yes, there's more than one way to say the name "Louisville," but does that mean that it's right? Could there actually be a proper way to say our city's name? The Voice-Tribune sought to settle the perplexing debate once and for all (yeah, right), asking notable Louisvillians, either from the city or those who have migrated here, to offer their unique pronunciation of the "L" word on camera. A compilation of their responses are the subject of a video you can find online at www.voice-tribune.com beginning June 28. We encourage you to check out the clip, which features Pat Day, Clear Channel's Mandy Connell, WAVE 3-TV's Dawne Gee, Coach Scott Davenport, 102.3's George Lindsey and many more people you're sure to recognize.
But, before we discuss how these Louisvillians said the name of their hometown on camera, let's look closer at the history that led to all this confusion in what once seemed a simple word.
Named after King Louis XVI of France, the original pronunciation of Louisville was understood to be "Lewisville" – the "usual" English pronunciation, as in St. Louis, according to the Louisville Encyclopedia. But, it's speculated that after the Civil War brought rural Kentuckians to the area, so too arrived the newfound "Lou-a-vul" pronunciationNonetheless, in 1934, a street directory noted that the city "was named in honor of Louis XVI of France, and is, therefore properly pronounced Loo-y-ville." Yet, once again in 1970, "Lou-a-vul" began to gain ground, and the pronunciation stuck rather permanently, with such sources as Wikipedia and Dictionary.com now acknowledging both the "Looeyville" pronunciation and the native-friendly "Looavul."
"It doesn't really matter how you say it, but it's a great place to do business," argued Carmen Hickerson, vice president of public affairs and communications at Greater Louisville Inc.
No, it doesn't necessarily matter if you say "Looeville" or "Looavul," but a lot can be said about someone who chooses one pronunciation over another, as those born and raised in Louisville are more likely to prefer the latter.
For instance, Lieutenant Governor Jerry Abramson, born in Louisville, subscribes to "Looavul." So does Clear Channel Radio's Matt Jones and Patrick Henry Hughes. The 2012 Boston Marathon winner Wesley Korir, a native of Kenya and former cross country runner at the University of Louisville now living in the city has also adopted the "Looavul" enunciation.
However, Hall of Fame Jockey Pat Day, originally from Brush, Colo. clearly states "Looeyville," along with Gary Roedemeier, who grew up in Missouri.
Lynch argues one's pronunciation is more often about expediency rather than geographic location or upbringing, however. "A lot of people when (they're) on the telephone, they'd say 'Looeyville' to be more clear, but in conversation would say 'Looavul.' One single person could use different pronunciations."
As witnessed by our research with a sample of Louisville's population, there's definitely more than one way to say the "L" word and it's understood all the same; however, "Looavul" was most popular by a slight margin.
The world may never know if there's a correct way to say it, but that's what makes the city all the more interesting, especially to those who are new to the area.
"It's a talking point," said Nancy Stephen, Communications Manager at the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It still sticks with us. We have people stop in the visitors center every day. They don't go one day or even one hour without saying, 'How do you say Louisville?'"
Regardless of how you say "Louisville" or "Looavul" or "Looeyville," the city's still the same great place, home to the Kentucky Derby, Muhammad Ali, Louisville Slugger Museum and that beloved Southern hospitality. And the war of the word may just be a fun game that embodies what this city is truly about: endless possibilities.
"Our whole goal … was to make people comfortable saying it however they wanted to say it," Lynch said. "Louisville is a place you can come and feel comfortable as you are."

Evaluating the effect of adding risperidone to clozapine...
Read more
Evaluating the effect of adding risperidone to clozapine is an example of clinical practice getting out ahead of evidence and theory. It has become common practice, so we need to know the answer. The combination surely will add adverse effects, but what hypothesis supports the notion of increased efficacy? Clozapine has superior efficacy for psychosis in treatment-resistant patients and low occupancy (fast on/off) at the dopamine 2 receptor. Is this important for diminished motor adverse effects or for superior efficacy? If so, adding risperidone will terminate this advantage. I think this may be the case for adverse effects, but we tested the partial occupancy hypothesis and the D2/5HT ratio hypothesis for clozapine (Carpenter et al., 1998) and found that full D2 occupancy did not interfere with clozapine superiority. But in this analysis, we found no evidence that being on a drug with high affinity for the D2 receptor combined with clozapine gave any efficacy advantage and recommended against the practice.
To reason in the other direction, it is clear that risperidone has its best benefit/adverse effect profile at low doses. Combining risperidone with another antipsychotic could move that profile in an unfavorable direction.
But clinicians are stuck. In most patients, no matter what the pharmacotherapy, response is incomplete. It is understandable that doctors try "harder," and increasing dose and polypharmacy seem the only way. When only first-generation drugs were available, this routinely lead to excessive doses with more adverse effects, poorer adherence, and no evidence for better efficacy. Are we now repeating this mistake with polypharmacy? This clozapine/risperidone report is well done, and the failure to observe an advantage for the combination should be a decisive influence on this common practice.

The paper by Honer et al., which reported a lack of benefit from augmentation of clozapine by risperidone in patients with schizophrenia who were partial responders to clozapine, is consistent with our previous report which had the same design but was of somewhat shorter duration (Anil Yagcioglu et al., 2005), with the exception that we found that improvement in psychopathology after the addition of placebo was superior to risperidone. A second paper from our double-blind, randomized trial has been submitted which showed that improvement in cognition with placebo was often, but not always, greater than that with risperidone as well. Honer et al. explicitly stated that their results were consistent with ours. We proposed, based upon my hypothesis that more potent blockade of 5-HT2A than D2 receptors contributed to the beneficial effects of clozapine (Meltzer et al., 1989), that the reason for the superior response to placebo in our trial was that risperidone, by adding D2 receptor blockade to clozapine, interfered with the beneficial effects of being part of a clinical study with its increased clinical contact and supportive nature. The results of our study and that of Honer contrast with a third study (Josaissen et al., 2005), which found risperidone addition improved psychopathology more than placebo.
The New England Journal of Medicine editorial from John M. Davis is a very disappointing commentary on this important confirmation of our research in a key area because it has a number of serious errors in fact and gratuitous criticism of industry-funded studies which, at least in this case, are easily refutable. Davis stated that our study and that of Josiassen et al. were industry-funded, as contrasted with the Honer et al. study, which was funded by the Stanley Medical Research Foundation, of which Davis has been a long-time adviser. The implication is clear that the industry-funded studies are biased. Davis then continues his effort to raise doubt about industry-funded studies by contrasting the results of his several meta-analyses of industry-funded clinical trials, which found advantages of atypical over typical antipsychotic drugs, with that of the NIMH-funded CATIE study, which did not (Lieberman et al., 2005).
In fact, our study was clearly marked as having been funded by the Stanley Medical Research Foundation, the William K. Warren Medical Research Foundation, and the Janssen Pharmaceutical Company, manufacturer of risperidone. The Josaissen study was industry-supported. Instead of evaluating the three studies for their merits, or even reading the paper carefully (in the case of our study), Davis would have us doubt their validity because they were industry-supported. This is unacceptable in my view. His call for more industry and non-industry studies is a smoke screen for his real message, that industry-funded studies are biased. I and my coauthors can vouch for the fact that none of the three funders of our pioneering research exerted the least influence on the design, performance, or write-up of our work. Janssen was informed of the results of the study as called for in our contract and made no effort, nor should it have, to restrain or modify the message. This, in fact, has been consistent with my entire experience with major pharma and biotech companies. If Professor Davis has had more negative experiences with industry in this regard, he should make them public. As it is, he offers incorrect information to raise doubts about industry-funded research at a time when it is already under attack in the area of clinical trials and when continued investment on its part in clinical research in psychiatry is urgently needed, in my view. What we need is more thoughtful consideration of the merits and shortcomings of all clinical trials regardless of funding source. The clinical investigators and funder of the CATIE trial are now finding that merely because their study was government-funded, it is not being taken by many as the last word in informing us about antipsychotic drug treatment in schizophrenia.

Our paper (
Read more
Our paper (Honer et al., 2006) and the associated editorial by Dr. John M. Davis (Davis, 2006) concerning augmentation of risperidone with clozapine drew some commentary in this Forum, and recently, three letters to the Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. The April 27 issue of the NEJM also includes our response, and a response from Dr. Davis. The first of the letters, from Grass and colleagues (Grass et al., 2006) concerns the broader issues of the confidence with which we can conclude that risperidone augmentation of clozapine offers no benefit, and the degree to which the results of this approach to antipsychotic polypharmacy can be generalized to other combinations of antipsychotic drugs. Basically, our conclusion in the paper is that the difference between risperidone and placebo augmentation of clozapine is unlikely to be associated with a moderate-to-large effect size, such as would be observed with switching a group of patients from typical antipsychotics to clozapine. Smaller differences cannot be excluded. However, as clarified by Dr. Davis in the recent issue, one of the two previous, smaller placebo-controlled studies showed relative benefit for placebo versus risperidone augmentation, at least for positive symptoms (Anil Yagcioglu et al., 2005). The NEJM letters from Meltzer and colleagues (Meltzer et al., 2006) and from Gerson (Gerson, 2006) concern the Davis editorial which accompanied our paper. Dr. Meltzer's concerns about the editorial are also presented in his commentary in the Forum, and Dr. Davis has graciously apologized for his errors in the current response in the Journal, and clarified that monitoring of white cell counts provides a safe approach for patients taking this medication.
We still face the broader issue of antipsychotic polypharmacy, which appears reasonably prevalent despite a very small evidence base. Our trial was initially designed with the hope that risperidone, being a high-affinity dopamine D2 antagonist, would be an optimum drug to augment the low D2 affinity of clozapine. This was not the case, and strictly speaking our results cannot be generalized beyond this combination of medications. Much larger studies would be needed if a non-inferiority design were to be used. For example, subjects currently treated with antipsychotic polypharmacy could be randomized to continuation or to substitution with placebo for all but one antipsychotic drug. A preliminary, uncontrolled study indicated this strategy was successful in most, but not all cases (Suzuki et al., 2004). Perhaps new findings concerning the consequences of antipsychotic polypharmacy for cognitive function (Kawai et al., 2006) and the economic costs (Stahl and Grady, 2006) will also contribute to improving evidence-based practice.

James Patterson returns to the genre that made him famous with a thrilling teen detective series about the mysterious and magnificently wealthy Angel family...and the dark secrets they're keeping from one another.
On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, Tandy Angel knows just three things: 1) She was the last person to see her parents alive. 2) The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. 3) She can't trust anyone—maybe not even herself. Having grown up under Malcolm and Maud's intense perfectionist demands, no child comes away undamaged. Tandy decides that she will have to clear the family name, but digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs is a dangerous-and revealing-game. Who knows what the Angels are truly capable of?
I have some really bad secrets to share with someone, and it might as well be you—a stranger, a reader of books, but most of all, a person who can't hurt me. So here goes nothing, or maybe everything. I'm not sure if I can even tell the difference anymore.
The night my parents died—after they'd been carried out in slick black body bags through the service elevator—my brother Matthew shouted at the top of his powerful lungs, "My parents were vile, but they didn't deserve to be taken out with the trash!"
He was right about the last part—and, as things turned out, the first part as well.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? Please forgive me…. I do that a lot.
I'd been asleep downstairs, directly under my parents' bedroom, when it happened. So I never heard a thing—no frantic thumping, no terrified shouting, no fracas at all. I woke up to the scream of sirens speeding up Central Park West, maybe one of the most common sounds in New York City.
But that night it was different.
The sirens stopped right downstairs. That was what caused me to wake up with a hundred-miles-an-hour heartbeat. Was the building on fire? Did some old neighbor have a stroke?
I threw off my double layer of blankets, went to my window, and looked down to the street, nine dizzying floors below. I saw three police cruisers and what could have been an unmarked police car parked on Seventy-second Street, right at the front gates of our apartment building, the exclusive and infamous Dakota.
A moment later our intercom buzzed, a jarring blat-blat that punched right through my flesh and bones.
Why was the doorman paging us? This was crazy.
My bedroom was the one closest to the front door, so I bolted through the living room, hooked a right at the sharks in the aquarium coffee table, and passed between Robert and his nonstop TV.
When I reached the foyer, I stabbed at the intercom button to stop the irritating blare before it woke up the whole house.
I spoke in a loud whisper to the doorman through the speaker: "Sal? What's happening?"
"Miss Tandy? Two policemen are on the way up to your apartment right now. I couldn't stop them. They got a nine-one-one call. It's an emergency. That's what they said."
"There's been a mistake, Sal. Everyone is asleep here. It's after midnight. How could you let them up?"
Before Sal could answer, the doorbell rang, and then fists pounded the door. A harsh masculine voice called out, "This is the police."
I made sure the chain was in place and then opened the door—but just a crack.
I peered out through the opening and saw two men in the hallway. The older one was as big as a bear but kind of soft-looking and spongy. The younger one was wiry and had a sharp, expressionless face, something like a hatchet blade, or… no, a hatchet blade is exactly right.
The younger one flashed his badge and said, "Sergeant Capricorn Caputo and Detective Ryan Hayes, NYPD. Please open the door."
Capricorn Caputo? I thought. Seriously? "You've got the wrong apartment," I said. "No one here called the police."
"Open the door, miss. And I mean right now."
"I'll get my parents," I said through the crack. I had no idea that my parents were dead and that we would be the only serious suspects in a double homicide. I was in my last moment of innocence.
But who am I kidding? No one in the Angel family was ever innocent.

I have read a copy of the evacuation plan for the Kilburn/Slade streets area in the event of a catastrophic fire in the King Philip Mill. The plan is a good one if the wind cooperates, but how will these residents evacuate if the wind doesn't cooperate and the mill becomes an inferno (such as the Kerr Mill or Notre Dame Church)? They are trapped.
Evacuation by Kilburn or Slade streets will be impossible; anyone who lives there will be lost. This possibility should also be strongly addressed.
Having grown up in the Globe and living in the Fall River area all but nine of my 81 years, I've witnessed many mill fires and have seen the devastation — especially when the wind is "right."
We have an outstanding fire department who worked miracles during these infernos. Kerr Mill had the width of a street, a parking lot, and a six-lane highway as a buffer and the siding on houses beyond this buffer melted.
How are the residents of Kilburn/Slade to plan with a buffer of only the street widths?
The people around Notre Dame were fortunate the fire was discovered at an early stage and had time to evacuate.
No one is at fault. These things happen, but I believe the situation should be looked at from all angles. How will these people survive?

Coal-seam-gas drilling will be banned within 2 kilometers of residential areas in Australia's most populous state, the conservative Liberal government said, adding that bans would also apply to land containing vineyards and horse studs. The moves may constrain the activities of energy companies.
By ROSS KELLY
SYDNEY -- Lawmakers in Australia's New South Wales
on Tuesday tightened restrictions on the production of
coal-seam gas, prompting an angry response from energy
companies planning a host of new projects in the state.
Coal-seam-gas drilling will be banned within 2 kilometers of
residential areas in Australia's most populous state, the
conservative Liberal government said, adding that bans would
also apply to land containing vineyards and horse studs.
The moves may constrain the activities of companies
including AGL Energy, which has significant coal-seam-gas
drilling projects planned in the state.
"The New South Wales government has listened to community
concerns about CSG," Premier Barry O'Farrell said in a
statement. "These new measures build on what are already the
toughest controls in the country."
The government's stance is in stark contrast to neighbouring
Queensland state, where companies including ConocoPhillips and
Total are spending more than $60 billion combined to liquefy
coal-seam gas for export to Asia.
The decision illustrates the difficulties facing companies
attempting to replicate the US boom in unconventional gas
production in other parts of the world.
US unconventional gas production has accelerated thanks to
the advent of "fracking technology" that allows access to
gas trapped in dense rock formations using high-powered bursts
of water, sand and chemicals. The product obtained through this
method is known as shale gas.
Some countries, including France and Bulgaria, have banned
fracking, while other EU nations have raised environmental bars high enough to
discourage the practice.
The extraction of coal-seam gas carries in particular the
risk of water contamination, as salt water mixed in with the
gas is sucked up to the surface from the rock in which it is
embedded. Some more experienced coal-seam-gas producers have
claimed their wells are safe because they're cased in concrete
to prevent leakage, while contaminated water is collected at
the surface and treated.
On Tuesday, the chief industry body representing Australia's
oil and gas producers said the New South Wales government's
bans "ignores science". It added that the planned export of
large quantities of coal-seam gas from neighbouring Queensland
would push up domestic energy prices.
"We are concerned that the decision today will have serious
ramifications for households and businesses given that New
South Wales imports 95% of its natural gas from interstate,"
said Rick Wilkinson, an official at the Australian Petroleum
Production & Exploration Association.
The company most likely to be affected by the rules, AGL
Energy, said it was seeking an "urgent meeting" with Premier
AGL has proposed three large coal-seam-gas developments in New
South Wales, including the expansion of its existing Camden project, located in a residential
area about 60 kilometers southwest of Sydney. The company last
week suspended the expansion, estimated to supply
580,000 households, as it attempted to address community
concerns over safety.
AGL also has a proposed project in the Hunter Valley that
has sparked widespread criticism from the area's established
wine and horse-breeding industries. Its third project, Gloucester, is located in a
more remote part of the state.
Santos owns coal-seam-gas properties in the Narrabri region,
in the north of the state. A spokesman for the company said it
was too early to say whether its development plans would be
"We need further details around the proposed measures, to
better understand the potential implications," he said.
Smaller developer Metgasco said the decision could have a
"significant impact" on its Northern Rivers coal-seam-gas
operations, while Dart Energy said the restrictions would put
thousands of jobs at risk and drive the industry out of the
Dow Jones Newswires

My SubmissionDear Sir or Madam,I am totally oposped to fracking being used in the Tweed Valley of NSW.There is not one aspect of this industry I would support.I am appalled to see the use of the word minimise when you talk about health risks. How can any government allow any industry to affect the health of residents? Minimise just isn't good enough. All Australians have a right to good health and it should never ever be put at risk.Neither should good farming land, or land that is as environmentallyas biodiverse as that in the Tweed Valley.The thing that concerns me the most if the fire hazard this industry would cause. Leaking methane gas, escaping into a valley which fills with heavy fog most nights has to ring alarm bells. This valley is heavily forested with both rain forest and worse,. sclerophil forest.Areas in the Tweed are already recognised by fire authorities as being high fire risk areas. How can you even consider adding methane to the coctail of eucalyputs trees, inaccesable locations, heavy dry undergrowth, and a reasonably large rural population living within these heavily timbered areas. Further more, many residents in the Tweed take very seriously our aboriginal community and their connection to this land. To pepper this sacred place with gas pipes and drilling sites is to me disrespectful, unthinking and scandlous. Hardly the way to show we are sorry This area is known as the rainbow region, strongly connected with aboriginal custom and tradition. Many people were attracted to come and live here for spiritual reasons and many have a strong sense of connection with the earth. To drill deeply within it for the sake of the dollar will bring these people out and they will fight any mining company that should venture into this area. This could turn very ugly and no Australian should have to fight to protect his land, his health, his home, his childrens future so a few fat lambs can grow even fatter.This issue is far more important than jobs, government revenue or anything else you can name..Up here, we see it as fighting for our lives, and fight you we will.Sincerely yours,Julie McNamaralot 17 Warragum Drive,Pumpenbil 2484

Does an English country house count as a palace? Looking at dictionary.com they provided the following definition for palace:
- the official residence of a king, queen, bishop, or other sovereign or exalted personage.
- a large and stately mansion or building.
- a large and usually ornate place for entertainment, exhibitions, etc.
An English country house is not necessarily the residence of nobility, so the first definition does not fit. Two and three do fit. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Custom Intercooler System Build - The Bumpside Build-OnWritten by on June 18, 2010 How To Build A Custom Intercooler System
Nothing quite gets the blood flowing like popping a hood and seeing a blower sitting atop just about any engine. From old hot rods, to drag cars, to even late-model vehicles that came with a huffer from the factory, it's not only fun, but a supercharger actually helps the engine reach its full potential by forcing it to breathe. And today's blowers aren't the finicky part-throttle power robbers of yesterday. There is a reason more and more automobile manufacturers are making them a common option on new vehicles. It's because they work-really well.
This story is a follow-up from last month's supercharger installation on the '08 Ford 4.6L 3-valve V-8 in the Bumpside F-100. Ford Racing offers several different screw-type Whipple supercharger kits for the Mod engines rated at 400, 475, or 550 hp. The extra power from the Big-Boost kit is from just that-bigger boost. It runs 12 pounds of boost versus the "milder" 8- and 5-pound kits, the later doesn't require and intercooler. But with any boost especially over 5 or 6 psi create heat, which can be detrimental to the engine. This is where adding an intercooler comes into play.
Like any high-horsepower forced induction system (supercharged or turbo) we needed to install an intercooler system to keep the supercharger from producing too much heat and killing parts. An air-to-water intercooler system is basically another self-contained cooling system like the one for your engine. Ford Racing includes all the parts for the intercooler system with the kits that require them like our Big-Boost kit, the only bad thing is that we aren't putting it in a new Mustang, which is what the kit was designed for. This month I'll be showing you some of the things I had to do to install the intercooler system in the F-100.
There were two areas that needed to be addressed-where and how to mount the heat exchanger (radiator) for the intercooler and what to do about a fluid reservoir. These can both be easy or hard depending on your truck. For me they were difficult (of course) but that was mostly due to the lack of space from other parts being in the way, like the A/C condenser in front of the radiator. The kit comes with a molded plastic reservoir that bolts right into a Mustang engine bay, but I just wasn't happy with the way it fit in my truck. There are actually a bunch of simple universal reservoirs with an in and out that can be had easily from places like Summit that carry many different sizes and configurations, you just need to make sure they have provisions for 3/4-inch in and outlets. One of the brands Summit carries is Canton Racing, which had some promising pieces, but I was running out of time and had to improvise the best I could, so I made one that is definitely and option for those inclined to do so with the tools to do it-DIY, right? Even though I redesigned the intercooler system from what Ford Racing had intended for a Mustang it worked well in the end and I did so using the preformed hoses supplied with the kit.
While there is plenty on the Internet about supercharging and intercoolers, there are many good books available for those who like to hold things in their hands. One that I have been reading is A Complete Guide to Street Supercharging by Pat Ganahl. This book goes over the history of superchargers and while it was originally written in the '80s, it just got revised and now includes modern blowers and tons of good info for gearheads.
This is very well the last Bumpside installment for a while until it is basically on the road-which will happen. Thank you all for the support over the last five years that I have been with CLASSIC TRUCKS. I am transferring within the company to go run the Tech Center for our Los Angeles based magazines like Hot Rod and Car Craft, but you'll still see my name pop up here from time to time. Thank you!

Several days worth of head scratching netted the beginnings of what we see here (the backside of the core support). The biggest obstacle I faced was where to put the heat exchanger. It needs to be in the path of fresh air and someplace that's relatively easy to mount. Or you can mount it out of position and use electric fans. I opted for the first scenario, but it was easier said than done because the grille on the '68 is quite shallow, and I already had the A/C condenser in front of the radiator. There was plenty of room (81/2 inches) behind the radiator to move it back, which is what I did to make room for the heat exchanger.After bending a few 1-inch tubes that would lift the radiator off the core support approximately 4 inches we can see there will be a nice spot for the heat exchanger between the radiator and the condenser.To mount the radiator to the tubes I bought some of the common pre-fabbed mounting tabs you see at metal supply houses or racing/off-road shops. I added doubler plates to the core support where the top of the tubes meet it that are just 1/8-inch cold rolled steel. Again, all this can be a bit tricky to say the least, but patience, design, and careful measuring will net good results.Ford Racing includes these brackets to mount the heat exchanger to the Mustang and depending on your truck and design you might be able to make them work.I chose to make my own out of 1/8-inch cold rolled steel to mount to the tubes. After centering the heat exchanger within the tubes and setting its depth I cut out the start of the mounting brackets and marked the mount measurements on them with a scribe.After drilling the two mounting holes I measured, marked, and hole-sawed a big hole in the middle just for speedy looks. Always use extra caution when using hole saws or any fabrication equipment for that matter!At this point I was pretty sure this was all going to work so I began welding more of it, luckily my good friend Jimmy White at Circle City Hot Rods let me invade his shop so I could use his tubing bender, sheetmetal brake, bandsaw, Burr King sander, and hog the only flat spot left in the shop!
Finally I was able to put the core support back in the truck with the radiator, heat exchanger, and condenser all securely mounted to it. Eventually I will skirt in each side around the radiator opening of the core support to help keep the air traveling through all three units instead of trying to go around them.Next up is an alternative to the fluid reservoir that was designed for the Mustang. Like I mentioned, you can buy a reservoir that will work or you can make one like I am. I made one first out of template paper that was only two pieces that I bent in the sheetmetal brake. I also bought an aluminum filler bung and some 3/4-inch aluminum tubing that I had a local race shop roll a bead on for the in and outlets.I traced my templates to some 0.090-thick 5052-series aluminum sheet and cut them out on the bandsaw. You can see the scribe lines for the bends; this is all done on what will be the inside of the reservoir.After a few minutes with the sheetmetal brake I wound up with this. I designed the box so that the front side would have a deeper bottom than the back side since the outlet would be on the front side at the bottom. This will be mounted to the driver-side inner fender panel when it's done.After I welded up the seams I cut a hole for the filler. Note: Never fully TIG weld what will be a sealed space when the welding is complete. Always drill a small breather hole prior to finish welding.Here I am welding the filler to the reservoir. You can also see that I have filled down all the welds on the corners. I want the box to look seamless when it's done instead of fabricated, but either way works.Even though I like incorporating other stock items into builds, I couldn't find a place for the included molded plastic reservoir that has a unique shape. I may even wind up painting the reservoir I made to make it blend even better, but not too bad for homemade, right?OK, the intercooler plumbing is actually pretty simple. First it comes out of the driver side of the blower and into the top of the reservoir. This hose I'm holding actually tapers from 5/8-(blower) to 3/4-inch I.D. (reservoir inlet). I just cut a little off the blower side to fit with my reservoir.The only other piece of hardware that needs to get mounted is the electric water pump. It needs to go between the reservoir and the heat exchanger. I mounted it to the front lower portion of the inner fender panel just to the side of the heat exchanger so only a short straight piece of 3/4-inch hose would be needed to connect the two. The hose going back from the pump has a 90-degree bend at the pump and heads back to the reservoir.
I actually had to hole-saw a hole in the horizontal part of the inner fender for the water pump to sit down into, which not only aligned the outlet with the inlet on the heat exchanger, but it also made it sit below the area I am planning a cold air intake box. I drilled and tapped the provided aluminum mount to mount it to the inner fender to make it cleaner, the excess still needs to be trimmed here.All that's left is to attach the hose from the 5/8-inch outlet on the heat exchanger to the 5/8-inch inlet on the passenger side of the blower. Then the water pump harness can be installed. I need to modify the stainless radiator hose/tubes I made a while back after moving the radiator, but that won't be hard. For the most part that wraps up the majority of the possible worst-case modifications you might have to deal with when retrofitting parts like these to work in an old truck.As mentioned, I will be making some sort of fresh/cold air box for the intake since it does make a difference. Although I'll be working out of a different office, you will get updates from time to time and hopefully not too much time will pass before I'll be driving it! Thanks again folks! Until then see what you can do to push yourself in both the areas of fabrication and technology-it's been worth it so far for me.

TEXOMA--The U.S. Postal Service has decided to take a step back on closing thousands of post offices across the nation despite losing more than $8 billion dollars in revenue last year.
U.S.P.S. officials agreed Tuesday to delay closing 3,700 post offices by a few months. So instead of starting to close offices in January and March, the postal service decided to wait for Congress to make a decision that can help the agency save money.
Postal service representative McKinney Boyd said the U.S.P.S. is waiting on lawmakers to pass a measure giving Congress authority to prevent the agency from going bankrupt. Because right now, Boyd said, the postal service is losing $23 million everyday and they're predicted to lose another $14.1 billion next year. He said post offices studied for possible closure will stay open during the delay.
"We would like for our customers to understand that we're losing $23 million everyday. We're not targeting any post office for any specific reason in any community, what we're trying to do is remain efficient," he said.
Boyd said the U.S.P.S. is planning to start closing post offices in May.

I have a business critical application server that was installed some time ago. The installation was an expensive process (large complicated CICS based system on Win2k3) and is something i'd not like to repeat.
However five years have past and i'd like to virtualise the server (using VMWare) so we can secure it and upgrade the hardware.
We have successfully tested virtualising the system but have found that the original Win2k3 OS wasn't installed using our usual volume license but a retail copy. I'm guessing this means every time we move the underlying hardware it'll call for activation and eventually run out. This could be a problem if we have to resort to a backup due to a massive hardware failure.
What i would like to do is change the underlying licensee for the OS without having to reinstall everything. Is this possible for Win2k3? How do you go about it?

Here is "how to draw Lana Del Rey easy", step by step. If you're wondering what is going on with her lips, just know that she does look like how you see her here. There is many ways to tackle this lesson, I find that the simplistic way is to follow the steps. Drawing Lana Del Rey should be easy as well as fun so go ahead and get started.

I am not sure if the nomenclature is correct but my module says this to be the remainder theorem,
If a natural number $n$ is divided by a natural number $m$ and can be brought in the form: $$\frac{x \cdot (a^p)^q}{a^p-1}$$ such that $n=x \cdot (a^p)^q$ and $m=a^p-1\,$ where $x,a,p,q \in \mathbb{N}$ and $x \lt m$, then the remainder of the division of $n$ by $m$ is $x$.
This theorem is holds and I have used this in some problems, I was inquisitive about how probably we can prove this? I asked my instructor but according to him I don't need to be bothered about the proof but only concentrate on solving the problems. However I am rather not much convinced; could anybody explain me how we can prove this?

Here we are, warmer weather in place with more coming soon, all with the promise of green grass, flowers, and budding trees coming to mind. Yes it's time to say, "I told you so"!
For those who procrastinated on deck maintenance (and blamed it on the Mayan calendar) your time has come.
With the threat of (most) foul weather behind us for a while and the promise of nice days ahead, it's time to pay the piper for letting all that maintenance go while waiting for the end of the world.
Don't allow faulty construction and maintenance ruin your day. Take time early this spring to do a thorough inspection of your deck. Look over the decking boards for any rot, splits, cracks, or sags.
A good place to start: Think about all that company you'll invite to spend time on the deck eating grilled dogs and burgers. Sure, give some thought to getting the buns and charcoal, but remember to check the deck for safe conditions.
Millions of decks have been built over the past few decades, and thousands of them have been built wrong. Hundreds (if not thousands) have collapsed, causing scores of deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Check everything. Check the rails and posts for looseness or give when wiggled. Does it feel like you can pull it apart with your bare hands?
Think about running and smacking into the rail: Will it hold you safely back, or let you fall to the ground below?
If possible get under the deck and look at the framing closely. You're looking for any type of rot, splits and cracks here, too, as well as joints coming loose, fasteners coming loose, and rust from the fasteners.
One common area for deck failure is when the treatment of the wood is not compatible with the fasteners used to build it. Sometimes corrosion from chemical treatments can take fifteen years or more to do its dirty deed. This can consist of rotting the nails, screws and even the larger bolts completely through.
Damage can even occur to galvanized fasteners coated specifically for outdoor use.
The proper match of fastener treatment to wood treatment is critical. Sometimes it only takes a couple of seasons for weather to destroy the fasteners so even newer decks can often have a serious problem.
Spending some time with this type of checkup will pay great dividends. If in doubt, call a trained inspector to look it over. What with the Mayans being wrong, you will want that deck to last a long time, and give many years of safe usage About the House.

5 Crazy Street Performers (Who Happened to be Geniuses)
Even when times are good, you're going to see guys on the corner asking for money in return for the privilege of watching them struggle through "Free Bird." That's just how it goes. The guys on this list, however, aren't your run-of-the-mill bums who've decided to take up an instrument to help with their panhandling. These are the guys with acts superior to what you're likely to see on a stage. Guys such as ...
#5. Charlie Barnett, aka Dave Chappelle's Mentor
Get a picture of Eddie Murphy in your head. Young, hilarious Eddie Murphy, not fat-suit wearing, latex-faced, farting for laughs, CGI-donkey Eddie Murphy. Funny Eddie Murphy. Got it? Now replace that image with this guy:
Via maryellenmark
That's street performer and comedian Charlie Barnett, and in 1980 Eddie Murphy took Barnett's slot on Saturday Night Live. Not because he was funnier or better at short-shorts wearing, but because Barnett was a little illiterate. Put a pin in that, because we're coming back to it.
Through the 70s, 80s and 90s, Barnett was a guy who could win over any crowd with his raunchy, racially inappropriate jokes. And also AIDS jokes. And he won them, whole Washington Square fountains full of them, without a microphone, stage or eighth-grade education. Don't even watch this if you're sensitive to the N-word, blatant racial stereotypes or tight red sweat pants:
Back in the day, comedians loved Charlie Barnett. People who saw him said he was lightning fast with ad libs, and since Richard Pryor was nursing a coke addiction, Barnett was supposed to be the next big thing. He got that SNL audition, which he failed because he couldn't read the cue cards, and a three movie deal from Universal. He also got the cliche behind every good '80s performer -- a crippling drug habit.
So when the movies didn't do well and TV auditions stopped rolling in, Barnett just kept killing it at the park. Day after day, year after year. Performing for random passersby.
Who were mortally afraid he might point at them next.
His reputation and footage alone were enough to get a spot on this list, but consider this: We wouldn't have the Dave Chappelle we know and love today if it weren't for Charlie Barnett. Because while Chappelle was developing his act, getting booed at the Apollo and just figuring out how to make audiences love him, Barnett was his mentor. He even let Chappelle practice his act on his own audiences, like some kind of standup godfather. By the time Barnett died of AIDS in 1996, Chappelle's career was on its way.
Thanks, Charlie.
#4. Moondog
A lot of street performers start off with a hard luck story, and Thomas Louis Hardin, or Moondog, was no exception. He was blinded by dynamite at age 16 ... aaaaand that's where his hard luck ended. Because despite performing with made-up instruments and making his living on sidewalks, Moondog was apparently a really influential musician. And also a little bit of a genius.
Via moondogscorner
This is not a still from Hair.
Moondog's career started in 1943 when he landed on 54th Street in NYC ready to perform. But instead of hitting the jazz clubs like the other musicians of the time, he stopped short a few steps and stuck with the sidewalk. In addition to performing on handmade drums, flutes and portable keyboards, he was also known for his made-up instruments, like the trimba and the ooo-ya-tsu. Here's Moondog and his "oo" in action:
Oh, and did we mention that Moondog wore homemade leather pants, a horned helmet and a cape? In the 1940s?
Via moondogscorner
There's no word on whether he used that spear musically.
Despite looking like a Rasputin/Nordic Santa mashup, by the mid-1950s Moondog's biggest fan was a conductor at Carnegie Hall, and Walter Winchell was writing him up in his world-famous column. This street musician was so well known that early rock deejay Alan Freed swiped his name and song for his own show, "The Moondog Rock and Roll Matinee," presumably because he assumed blind people are incapable of listening to the radio. Moondog won a NY State Supreme Court case against the guy with the help of major musicians like Benny Goodman, who testified that Moondog was a serious composer and musician.
Moondog reached such a surreal level of fame that he even made a record of children's songs with, we shit you not, Julie Andrews.
We assume his viking soul stained the cover blood red.
Not bad for a dude who played on sidewalks. As for the music itself, it was jazzy, and not nearly as weird as you'd expect. It's not like he was flapping his penis on a bongo or anything. You even can hear it for yourself:
And for a nice little bedtime lullaby:
#3. Joshua Bell
Let's play Choose Your Own Adventure: The Mystery of the Secret Street Performer. Imagine you're on your way to work. Maybe you're running late. You pop into the subway station and there, in a corner next to a trash can, is a guy playing the shit out of his violin. He's got his case out, so you know he's playing for money. Do you:
A. Stop for a few minutes and appreciate a glimpse of sublime art on an otherwise ordinary day;
B. Toss the guy a bone and throw some pennies in the case;
C. Pretend like he's not there. He's probably a rapist.
It could be a banjo for all you know.
If you're one of the 1,097 people who had a chance to hear world-famous violinist Joshua Bell on January 12, 2007, you most likely picked C. As in, you kept walking without giving the guy a second glance. After 43 minutes of playing, Bell made $32 bucks.
That might sound like a nice chunk for less than an hour's work to most of us, but Joshua Bell is no ordinary homeless guy trying to turn his music skills into crack money. That violin he was playing? A 300-year-old Stradivarius worth $3.5 million. Under other circumstances, people pay $100 a seat to hear Bell play -- he's played with just about every major orchestra in the world. He even has a Grammy.
Here he is, beasting it at the Grammys to prove it.
The whole thing was an experiment set up by Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten. The question was simple: What would happen if a world-famous violinist performed incognito in rush hour traffic? The music director of the National Symphony Orchestra thought a crowd would gather and that a virtuoso would earn $150, easy. Bell himself didn't admit any expectations, except that he was surprised when nothing even remotely resembling a hint of a crowd gathered during the performance. At all. Some willfully ignored him, like he was the Cootie Man there to hand out free cooties to all who looked his way. Others loudly talked over him on their cells as they passed him, like they were jackass jerkfaces. Very few bothered to stop. Most interesting of all? Some pedestrians didn't even notice he was there.
And we know this because about 40 commuters were stopped as they left the station and asked if they'd mind participating in a survey later in the day. The first thing they were asked was if they'd noticed anything unusual about their commute that morning. Of the 40 people questioned, only one guy, a postal worker named John Picarello, mentioned the violinist. Correction: He didn't just mention him, he gushed about him. Out of a subway station full of people, only one guy had the insight to be impressed by one of the world's greatest violinists, playing for free.
Congratulations John, you win at the universe.

I've scoured the internet for the last few hours looking for an example of how to run even the most basic OpenGL ES 2 example using JOGL but "by Jupiter!" it has been a total fail.
I tried converting the android example from the OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide examples (and at the same time looking at the WebGL example -- which worked fine) yet without any success.
Are there any examples out there?
If anyone else wants some extra help regarding this question see this thread on the official Jogamp forum.

Man Jailed for Stealing After Charging Cellphone at a Public Park
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:56 a.m.
A homeless man spent the night in a southwest Florida jail after a police officer accused him of stealing by charging his cellphone at a public park.
An arrest report said that a Sarasota police sergeant spotted 28-year-old Darren Kersey charging his phone Sunday evening in a public picnic shelter at Gillespie Park. The sergeant told Kersey that the "theft of city utilities will not be tolerated during this bad economy" and then arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of theft of utilities.
Unable to pay the $500 bail, Kersey spent the night in jail. But the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that Kersey was released Monday morning after a judge threw the case out, saying the sergeant lacked the legal justification to make the arrest.

In the film Alice in Wonderland (2010), at the Tea party, when Alice is hidden in the Tea pot Bayard comes sniffing under the table right up to the Tea pot, indicating that he knows she's in there. The Mad Hatter then says something to him and he goes away. I assume it's some sort of pass phrase letting him know that they all work for the white queen??
I couldn't figure out what he says though, can anyone enlighten me?

A "Jewish Remodel"…Really?
Really? In this day and age? Posted on a blog, for all the world (well, at least a few people in Delmar) to see? Yes, folks! Ignorance, anti-semitism, racism…it's alive and well on a little-read blog in Delmar. The blog is Delmar Daily and it is run by a Delmar resident…T.J. McGuire…yup, the same T.J. McGuire who ran for commissioner and who's wife ran for Mayor!!
On Tuesday, there was a huge house fire in Delmar! The home was being remodeled and apparently, an electrical fire started on the first floor, quickly spreading and engulfing the home. The heat was so intense that it also melted siding on neighboring homes and caused substantial damage to one home and the utility lines that ran in front of the home. On TJ McGuire's blog, there was a post about the $250,000 blaze, entitled,
"Rumor has it it was a Jewish remodel"
I am not Jewish, however, I have an abundance of Jewish friends. I also have two grown sons, both Jewish, based upon the fact that their Mother was Jewish. If you know anything about Judaism, you'll know that children of a Jewish Mother are automatically accepted as Jews, no matter the Father's religion. BUT, even without my special affinity for the Jews in my life, I would still be offended by TJ's remark. It is a casual, off-hand remark, that rolls easily off the tongue, without thought or premeditation. That's because prejudice can be overt and outward, or it can be subtle and ingrained into our thought and speech patterns, sometimes the most insidious prejudice of all!
Now, we all know that ignorance can lead to stereotypes and use of stupid phrases that your Daddy or Grand-Daddy might have commonly used and thought nothing about! But, in times when racism is still rampant in America and there seems to be a rise in anti-Semitic remarks and actions, everyone needs to be aware of the stupid things they say, BEFORE the words escape their lips or leak out of their pen, or jump the arc from their fingertips to the keyboard.
We all have a responsibility, now, more than ever, with the worldwide ability for anyone to write anything about anybody, to pick our words and phrases carefully. If TJ's anti-Semitic remarks were meant to be just that, then that's what he meant; he'll not want to change or apologize. However, if his post title was merely an ignorant mistake, then folks, we all need to demand an apology from him. If you're going to put your words and thoughts on a public forum, you have to take responsibility for it. TJ…I demand an apology from you for your anti-Semitic remarks; or, if you meant them as such, then I demand that you explain yourself and your philosophy!
TJ McGuire lives in Delmar and his blog can be found at: http://thedelmardaily.blogspot.com/ I encourage everyone that is offended by his remarks to visit and let him know what you think!

I have been reading and experimenting with techniques for many years. I have read the GTD book among dozens of others but I still can't find the answers to everyday problems. Working as a Web design/development freelancer and as an Administrator at the same time, I have tried countless ways to organise data, todo lists, applications, notes etc. and take control of my life. Every time I go a little further and then fail.
Expecting too much of myself usually leads me to fear of failure and procrastination. The hundreds of tasks to accomplish, plus errands plus exceptional cases, always confuse me and finally depress me. I have different operating systems for work and home, many email accounts, different applications I must use for home/business etc.
I would like to kindly ask for your opinion on my organisation technique right now. why do you think it fails and what do you suggest me to do?
I use (home/freelance/mac os x): - Asana for organising projects and tasks - Workflowy to keep a "draft daily paper-like list" - Google drive (spreadsheets mostly) to keep my finance and goals data - Evernote for keeping notes - Google calendar for scheduling. I have created a calendar for each "life category": professional, health, spiritual, intellectual, family, etc. - Mail for sending/receiving emails
I find great difficulty to deal with project data. I have a separate folder X for each project in a folder called "projects", then a X folder in my /htdocs/ folder, a folder in Asana with project tasks to accomplish, a folder in Evernote with notes and data, a folder in google drive with documents I need access from elsewhere etc.
I find a great difficulty also in scheduling. I have tried to set "blocks" of time each day to accomplish a task and simply it does not work. I have tried to accurately schedule tasks like 15.00-15.45 This, 16.00-16.45 That etc. and they fail because of the exceptional tasks and errands. Finally everything pile up and even I feel self-confident with lots of inner power to accomplish something, I see hundreds of tasks, I ask myself "God, when am I going to do all these? I am going to be old before I even realise I have completed some projects." I imagine myself losing contact with time and family, trying to accomplish a really endless list of infinite tasks...
