Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Chronic Bronchitis
In chronic bronchitis, exposure to tobacco smoke and other lung irritants over time can lead to inflammation in the airways that deliver air into the lungs (bronchial tubes). As a result, the airways produce more mucus than they would normally. Inflammation and extra mucus reduce air flow and cause coughing. Mucus production and inflammation over many years may lead to progressive and permanent lung damage.

your so called nobody....this is done for a reason...why? come in and see why.

Before I start and explain things...I have no interest in replying to ignorant idiots.
I've done this for a reason...you'll find out the reason as we go along.
It will only go out on this site and this site only...I will not post it out beyond here.
This is a once only thread............................
I'm not here to convince people at all....I don't give a rats arse if i'm believed or not.
There is always a reason behind why I post things.
There are three like me on this planet....we stem from the old mystery schools...way before gnostic or other known mystic schools that inhabited our history.
I don't follow organized religion or god or gods.
I have no directive from any being except my own ability.
We are shamans...heirophants.
We guided intitations in the original mystery schools.
The first original site is the giza complex..(pyramids)
certain ptb were intitated in those schools that we guided.
That's why I know who they are and what they are..
I have crossed paths through the ages with that lot as I have in this life time. They know of me already.
They know not to cross a certain line.....
I never see myself as different to the whole of humanity..I don't see myself superior in any sense of the word.
Were all the same in connection.
It's not just in our hands to change things...there are many out there that will combine to this change.
The change won't happen through preaching knowledge or wisdom to crowds..it will be done inhouse behind closed doors.
We have no interest in going before the public domain.
The only difference between us is that we were intent in going to places through the grid lines or source as some might say....were others weren't prepared to do so.
There were dangers involved in holding certain energy lines.
Because we were commited in our chosen field...were able to not be as closed through certain incarnations..we hold that energy to some extent in our incarnations.
Were good at what we do..that's not being big headed... because those thoughts just rest there and don't surface in the conscious.
We know that larger picture and what it entails.
We come into these incarnations to activate those energy lines that existed on this planet in ancient times.
I wrote the majority of things in the primal grid thread...
There is one difference between us and others that have come along in the past....we will use agression to protect the sacred.
This change is going to happen...there is no one or anything that can stop it.
Please verify you're human:

Sarah Browne Armstrong Adamson
Hi: I think we have been in contact in the past about our common ancestor Benjamin Adamson. I recently discovered the diaries of his wife Sarah. I saw a query of yours asking about the diaries. Did you get any results? I know where the diaries are and was told that they are not digitized. Also, there is a transcription of part of the diary that can be purchased.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out with any of this info.
My name is Shirley Copeland Hudson, I have a tree on Ancestry (Copeland/Adamson) and Family Search.
My question may be answered after reading your blog.
Thanks for any help.
Also, do I need permission to add photos to my tree from another persons Find a Grave or tree?

Claude & Dorothy Sherman
I was told at the cemetery office that they were both located in Lot 1 of Sequoia Plot, but there is only a marker for Claude. I think they are in the same grave, and her name was not inscribed on the stone, but I think you would have to call the cemetery to confirm that.

What indicators should I consider before instituting a shopper marketing initiative?
The best initiatives work for the shopper, the retailer and the category or brand. It can be helpful to evaluate what consumer mechanisms a manufacturer has in place to promote, support or supplement activities inside your store. For example, The Coca-Cola Company often leverages assets like My Coke Rewards® loyalty program, or properties such as sponsorship of events or movies, when devising shopper marketing solutions for its customers. In addition, expertise in multicultural marketing will become increasingly important in the future as the demographic composition of this country changes.
In general, the following questions can help retailers employ successful shopper marketing initiatives:
- Is the solution grounded in a relevant shopper insight?
- How will it make my shoppers' experience easier or quicker, help them make smarter in-store decisions or improve their lives?
- Will the activity provide a strong return on investment?

For AMOK, I decided to "hijack" some jeepneys and pay for everybody's fare. Jeepneys (in this island, multicabs) are some of the most common means of transportation in my country. They're kind of like buses, but smaller. The standard jeepney fare in the capital (Manila) is P8.50, I think, but where I am (Cebu), it's just P7.50. Or P7, if you don't have change.
So this is how I ran AMOK: I went to the end of the route I chose where jeepneys tended to be empty. I flagged one down, sat in the front seat and briefly explained to the driver (in my poor Cebuano) that I would be paying for everybody's jeepney fare. As each passenger got on, I paid the driver their fare. I made a sign so people won't be confused, but because I was an idjit, I didn't bring tape. Hahaha. Everytime someone tried to pay, the driver had to explain to the passengers that they didn't need to. When the jeepney got back to where I got it, I flagged another one down and repeated the process. :3
One of the passengers in the second jeepney thought I was a nun and said, "Thanks, Sister." It was how one would usually address a nun. And then all the other passengers started to address me as such. ^^;;
Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of cash (day before payday, tsk) so I was only able to hijack two jeepneys. And sorry for the shit pictures. I couldn't take a lot because I was alone. And shy. :3

Man, That Was Quick: The First Lawsuit Over Super Ticket Snafu at Cowboys Stadium
On the other side you'll find the 11-page complaint filed yesterday in Dallas federal court titled STEVE SIMMS and MIKE DOLABI, individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, vs. JERRAL "JERRY" WAYNE JONES, NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, DALLAS COWBOYS FOOTBALL CLUB, LTD., JWJ CORPORATION, COWBOYS STADIUM, L.P., COWBOYS STADIUM GP, LLC, and BLUE & SILVER, INC. (It's like a Fiona Apple record.)
Long, familiar story short: Dolabi's a Tarrant County resident who says he's a "Founder" of Cowboys Stadium -- meaning he paid at least $100,000 for a personal seat license, which he thought guaranteed him not only good season tix, but also decent face-value ducats to the Super Bowl. Problem is, says the complaint:
Unfortunately, not all of the ticket holders to Super Bowl XLV got what they bargained for or what was promised to them. Specifically, most of the "Founders" fans, including but not limited to Plaintiff Dolabi, arrived at the stadium on Sunday to discover that Jones and the Cowboys had assigned them to seats with obstructed views and temporary metal fold out chairs, which had been installed in an effort to meet Jones' goal of breaking the attendance record. In addition, almost all of these seats lacked any reasonable view of the stadium's prized "video board," which Defendant Jones and the Cowboys routinely claim is the one of the most unique and best features of Cowboys Stadium.
Simms, from Pennsylvania, was among the 400 stuck without a seat once it became clear (well, to the fans at least -- everyone else knew well ahead of time) that those temporary bleachers were no good. And he's not much interested in the triple-the-face-value refund and the offer of a ticket to the next Super Bowl. Try "more than $5,000,000." The attorneys are out of California and Addison.

Hi Guys,
Haven't been on the support forums for a long time now.
Just did some updates on a network of sites I built using WP (basically just to see if I could). Worked out pretty good I think. I never asked anyone here what they thought so some feedback would be great.
The Codex and Support Forums here were invaluable to creating these sites. No doubt in my mind that without them, I would not have been able to achieve this outcome.
All 6 sites run from the one database, share the same posts, pages, etc... tables in the database. The only exception being that each has their own options table.
I did this because I needed some products to be across 4 websites, and didn't want to have to them 4 times. Pretty neat. Using different themes I've got WP to spit out different information depending on what site you're too.
So if you're on a New Zealand site it spits out the NZ dollar, and Austrlian sites spit out the Australian dollar etc..
The biggest challenge was trying to exclude some product ranges from appearing on some of the websites. For example, primera.com.au is only for Primera range products, so I couldn't have, for example, the 'Mini Cubis' in the Datatronics rnage showing up in searches, or if you typed in its post number as all sites shared the same tables.
Try it out. On the Region4 website, http://www.region4.com.au/?p=56, and then on the Primera website, http://www.primera.com.au/?p=56. Neat.
This is because I put in some code that checks the product range (a custom field entry) each time a product page is loaded and shows content accordingly.
Anyway, I've been typing too long. Tell me your feedback.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's gas giant Gazprom on Tuesday hailed progress to resolve a crisis that is threatening to cut gas supplies to Ukraine and could disrupt the flow of gas to Europe.
Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told reporters Russia has been encouraged by Monday's talks.
"There's an understanding now of how to move forward. This is probably the main result of yesterday's talks," Kupriyanov said in Moscow. He added that the parties are "in the most active stage of talks right now."
Kupriyanov stressed it is important for Ukraine to clear its $1.4 billion debt for the November and December supply as well as to start clearing the April-May debt.
Moscow has not made public the amount of Ukraine's debt for the past two months, but Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said last week the May deliveries alone could cost around $2 billion.
EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Monday that Russia and Ukraine have agreed on a proposal that would see a lower gas price for Ukraine complete with a debt repayment schedule.
Kupriyanov said the talks are likely to continue on Tuesday but he would not say where they would take place. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, Ukrainian acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the talks would be held in Berlin.

Robert Scoble has a rule (The Corporate Weblog Manifesto #12) which states 'Never change the URL of your weblog.'
Unfortunately, I started blogging before reading The Manifesto. Yes, I know: RTFM.
However, I see this as a definite success story about the power of blogging and the tools used to blog. I now want to write and share because the tools make it really easy to do so and the result is presented in a really nice, user-selectable format.
It basically boils down to this: I've outgrown the blogging service provided by http://weblogs.asp.net aka http://blogs.msdn.com and it's becoming a pain to upload files to www.retrosight.com while blogging elsewhere -- I've got enough passwords already. Frankly, FrontPage hasn't exactly rocked my boat for maintaining retrosight-- it was somewhat ground breaking back when it first came out, but certainly hasn't made it easier for me to communicate. When I saw and heard how the folks at http://www.blogbusinesssummit.com/ were using a blogging tool for a corporate website I knew this was the solution for my problem.
And so the fun began and continues...
I'm in the process of getting DASBlog up and running on my hosting service. I got it set up *really* fast on a Windows Server 2003 box in my office last week on our intranet, so I'm already a fan. Getting a hosting service to change permissions as necessary is a bit slower, even though they have already done it at least once for another blogger at Microsoft. C'est la vie.
So, when all is said and done I'll shift my blogging over to http://blog.retrosight.com sometime next week if all goes smoothly. Right now that link gives a glorious .NET server application error -- my apologies are offered -- eggs get broken to make delicious cakes.
So, to help ease the pain for both you and I: My first post at http://blog.retrosight.com will be worth your while, especially if you are A) developing for Media Center and / or B) have struggled with getting Media Center up and running using bits from an MSDN subscription and / or system builder kit.
Stay tuned...

A typical early morning trip to the post office turned into a frightening experience for a Dothan ENT employee when she found a live corn snake hiding under the mail.
"I reached in there and got some mail, and when I reached back in, I saw it under my mail. I saw its tongue," White said. "I screamed and I hollered and I screamed and hollered some more. Then I started hollering 'snake!'"

Why is it that when a custodial parent fails to provide for a child it is called neglect and is a criminal matter. But when a non custodial parent fails to provide it is called failure to support and is a civil matter?

There was a story not too long ago about a woman who went to the bathroom during the night and was bitten by a water mocassin (very poisonous). It was curled up inside her toilet bowl! This was somewhere in Florida. Imo, the only good snake is one that is far away from me

Personally, I'm with comedian Julia Segal on the subject of parrots, but this video from YouTuber peachy525 proves that, when it comes to talking birds, the possibilities are truly endless.
Yeah, that's pretty cool, but Drowning Pool's "Bodies"? Really? It's decent and all, but maybe I oughta buy today's Woot, a few Norwegian Blues, and teach that bird a thing or two about METAL. \m/ \m/
Best Parrot EVAR
The Monkeys The Last Train to Clarksville as metal? Really?
This is epically sweet.
Dave Williams would be proud :P
Hey! That's a quaker parrot, the same kind of bird I have! Why did I never teach it to sing "Bodies" in such an awesome way?! I taught it to whistle the Andy Griffith song. BORING!!!

This series was excellent. It has elements that closed minded people will shy away from. It also plays out darker than the movie of The Golden Compass. I have never had a book leave me feeling so deeply sad but glad when I finished it. I look forward to reading it again some day.
I can't believe you're all just proving Christian stereotypes true, If someone isn't preaching Christianity, you don't want to hear it. Stop being so ignorant and intolerant.
Simply a masterpiece of literature. It may be a young adult series but these books are probably some of the best fiction that you will ever read.
My favorite book EVER. I love to lose myself in these parallel universes.
When will people realize that this is a fictitious work? It should not be such a huge deal. None of these characters are real, nor are they thrusting their beliefs on you. Much like the Bible, this book is whatever you make it out to be: an interpretation. When will the madness stop? This book is an amazing read and it pulls you in. Is that why you all are so afraid of what it means? Because you enjoyed reading it? Give it a shot and shut your traps.
I am Catholic. A coworker of mine was the product of a single parent home. Her mother was refused communion in the Catholic Church because she was divorced. They didn't take into consideration that she divorced a verbally and physically abusive man. I agree with Pullman... if I was God, I would be upset with them! I don't think people read into it enough and GET what Pullman is trying to say. It is not so much killing God, it is putting an end to a very hypocritical and corrupt organization. That being said, I did enjoy the books, but I don't this is a kids book. It is a work of FICTION... We have as much of a chance of encountering an armor clad bear than beaming up on the Star Ship Enterprise! I think it deals with concepts few children under 12 or 13 could grasp. Even an adult with a meager vocabulary might need a dictionary to read this series. From the first chapter, demon is spelled daemon... How many kids would know that it isn't 'day-mon'? Most of the 'kids' I know who have read the books are upwards of 15, which I think is an appropriate age to read this series... That is when they are able to truly start forming their own religious beliefs. In a world of iPods and Playstations, we should be happy that people are actually wanting to read.
Really entertaining series.
As far as books go, His Dark Materials is a well written series that grabs you into the story with a violence. I only caution Christian readers because this book was written with an obvious malicious intent towards God and those woh are sensative to those sortsof things need not to read this series at all!
It was a beautiful and engrossing look at human nature, whether technically human or not, and the power of rightness. Not the rightness someone else has dictated but the kind of rightness that is known instinctively and felt throughout your entire being. That every being in every universe and dimension has the right to be free from oppression and has the right to fight with every fiber of their being to ensure that freedom. It also strips away the facade of organized religion and exposes the atrocities associted with it and the absolute horror of zealotry. Although the story takes place in a world parallel to this one, the words resonate deeply with what has occured throughout time wherever religion is present: murder, torture, theft and subjugation. The replacement of free will with the dictates of religious doctrine. The gleeful torture and murder of individuals who do not agree with that doctrine, simply because that doctrine said it was the right thing to do, overriding the individual's own sense of right and wrong. Although it was published as three seperate books, its true form is one inseperable volume. Each of its parts flow so smoothly into each other that it is more like turning the page on a new chapter rather than a new book. That combined with the massive cliffhangers that leave you dangling from your fingertips make it impossible to not simply turn to that next page. Even the ending of the tale leaves you partially dangling, and hungering for more of a single, emotionally charged plot line left untied. Instead, it stretches into eternity and sets the wheels turning on the possibilities, and leaves you desperately hoping. If rumors play out, that last plot line will finally get tied in a fourth installment.
His Dark Materials has an edgy, original twist to fantasy and religion. It has enticing characters and plot. It keeps you guessing and is great to discuss.
What astounding novels! The Golden Compass was a slow start but I kept reading and it got better and better. Pullman has a wild imagination! The Subtle Knife was slow...very very slow!!! Still, when Will gained possession of the knife, I was hooked. Maybe it is Pullman's style of writing The Amber Spyglass was...is...well, I can't say because I am half way done but it is absolutely amazing so far. Can't wait for teh ending! The US is so sensitive when it comes to religion, but when we were a new country we were forced into the Church of England, so don't blame them. But it is a book! A BOOK! It isn't like kids are going to say 'Huh, lyra is going to destroy God so I think I won't be religious anymore and pretend I have a daemon!' But just because it only swept 7 million in the US and about 30 million overseas doesnt mean anything. The chronicles of Narnia has some religious themes burried under the plot, and it did not sweep as much hatred as the Golden Compass, what is up with that!?
Like another reviewer here, I loved the first book. I labored through the second book in hopes the third would be a good as the first. Unfortunately, the story loses its clarity in the third book. Maybe the messages were too subtle for me, I kept waiting for something to happen that would bring the loose ends together. The Adam and Eve allusion and the temptress seemed to me to have no purpose at all. Even 'what is Dust' wasn't really answered. I love Science Fiction/Fantasy, but this book left me unsatisfied.
One of the most incredible trilogies I have ever had the distinct pleasure of reading. This trilogy is a cornerstone of my childhood. The intricacy of the worlds which Pullman describes lends these books a level beyond mere fantasy for me, a level that leads into myth or legend (which I suppose I might accredit to the theological aspects of it all). These books were a spellbinding read when I was twelve, and a joy to read again now
I recently read the trilogy and was amazed at the world the author created in The Golden Compass. It takes you in and doesn't let go. As I moved on to the second book, the true story of this trilogy comes full force. Controversial as it is, I still had to read on. The second book primarily abandon's Lyra's world into another. The only part that I was very interested in was Lyra's world. Every other world did not fascinate me as much. Now, the third and final book was very disappointing. What was brought up in the second book (the main goal) is never truly satisfied. Though I don't agree with the author's goal of this trilogy, I never really felt that he satsified what he set out to do. Though many may agrue against what I say, I feel that the author left the story empty, even though his goal was accomplished (no spoilers here!) I felt he never truly followed through with his goal. He ends the trilogy not following his controversial 'God killing' theme, but a love story. So, If you want a fantasy, read the first. The other two never truly reach the height of the first only losing my interest, becoming angry at the loss of focus by the end of the trilogy. Not to be an extremist but the last two books really do not convince me of being great. He gets caught up in killing God and really does a poor job at doing it. The events that occur in the last two books are to coincidental and very unlikely in any situation, which goes against his theory of no higher power. It is a great world, but the story lacks reality and his whole goal is never truly satisfied. He ends the trilogy with no great change in the universe, it feels like what Lyra and her friends did was of no importance because the world does not change dramatically. But I cannot get bogged down in the controversy. This trilogy is a great one, very epic and thought provoking. The world the author created was masterfully crafted and very original, if he only worked on the story more...
Best book you will ever read
I liked about half of it. It became distracting to try to understand all of the different realities
I regret certain institutions succeeded in blocking the movie sequels. But then that only shows to go and reafirm the nature of things brought to light by Mr. Pullmans writing. Read and heed; don't curse the darkness, light a candle and embrace it.
No one called it
Great piot & well written. There are many distinct and interesting characters and creatures that you meet throughout this book - they make Pullman's imaginary world really come alive
The Dark materials series in one easy location, step into a beautiful vibrant world with characters that will se as familiar as only family can be, adventure through physics, parallel worlds quantum particles and theology, even as you explore the values of love, friendship, loyalty, honor, family.. deep reading originally intended for children... lucky children who first stumbled into Lyra's world, luckier still the adult mind that can explore the concepts found within.
Not just for children. Escape into it.
I got this book for our Nook to share with my daughter. I like the Nook format, and this ebook has had very few errors to the ereader format. All 3 of the Pullman books are together as one and it's been fun to read all of book one and part of book two so far. Some other books I've gotten have had numerous typographical errors but this one is very cleanly transferred to the Nook and has a few illustrations as well.
The ebook costs MORE than the pb and almost as much a the HC? How does that make sense?
Do you like this book if not you are really CRAZY.and if you have not read the bookthen you should.and dont be sitting playing games on youre WII or youre XBOX 360, get up and read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine says giving people SFTP and therefore jailed shell access is a bad idea. However, I think you need a port open for FTPES to work though.
Which is the better connection method?
You can use the ChrootDirectory and "Subsystem internal-sftp" directive to constrain user without giving them any possibility of starting a shell. There is no reason why it should be less secure than FTPS. You should also disable TCPForwarding and related options.
Ideally, you could have a different sshd process doing SFTP-only on a different port or interface to strongly differentiate from admin ssh. This is needed when running RHEL5 IIRC because it has an older openssh, but on the newer versions there are several more directives to constrain users based on various criterions.
Your friend is right in one respect: jailed shell access is no good. If you don't do what I just described, and merely chroot the users while allowing them shell access in any way, you are not secure. It is unnecessary nowawadays anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.
It's perfectly possible to give someone SCP/SFTP-access without giving them a shell.
What I like about SFTP:
What I like about FTPS:
Depends on what you think is important...

A granite countertop is a staple in high-end kitchens, but don't let the high price tag deter you. Granite tiles are much more affordable than slabs and are easier to install. Now available in 15 new colors, Benissimo's Granite Solutions takes it a step further by offering ½-inch tiles that have a 1½-inch bullnose. The best part: it's about 50 percent less costly than a slab.

Voted one of the "Seven Wonders of Chicago," the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) is among the tallest buildings in the western hemisphere. On your next visit to Chicago, head to the 103rd floor of this famed building and explore all that the Skydeck Chicago observatory has to offer.
Enjoy 360-degree panoramic views from 1,353 feet in the air, marvel at the impressive Chicago skyline, and see all the important landmarks from Soldier Field to the Navy Pier Ferris wheel. You can even see parts of four states at once!
If you've ever seen Chicago on a map, you'll know that the size of this city is nothing to be scoffed at, with dozens of neighborhoods and suburbs stretching for miles and miles. From atop the Skydeck you can see the whole sprawling metropolis and several miles out in each direction, so a visit here makes for great photo opportunities.
Be sure to take a step out onto "The Ledge," an awe-inspiring, all-glass balcony that extends four feet outside the building's edge. Are you brave enough for this exhilarating experience? Take a photo of yourself "floating" above the city of Chicago and amaze your friends back home!

No on 1. Thats surprising.
And since I commented on the wrong thread, I cant wait for th Turks to invade Iraq. What a clusterfuck.
We're all going to die, anyway. I'll be blasting my final sigh's at the bar.
It's not like President Cheney "accidentally" fired a Patriot Missile near Iranian airspace yesterday from Qatar ... um, uh oh ... never mind.
This is just the next step in the Fundies' march towards The Rapture. Cause the destruction of the world as we know it, so the Righteous (guess who!) can start their perfect world upon its glowing ashes. I wish I were speaking in hyperbole, or under the influence of some fun drug.
I'm getting that sinking Winter of '03 feeling in the pit of my stomach. These fuckers are determined to start another war regardless. So this must be what it feels like to live in a dictatorship.
Come on everyone lets sing!
"Spring time for George Bush and America!"
Hail Bush! Long live the Fourth Reich!! Long Live the Father...(wait) Homeland!!
unlike your twice unelected retarded baboon in the white house Putin is smart. He's making agreements for the oil. Not illegally invade and then rape, torture and murder everyone who lives there to try (and pathetically fail like the US has done with Iraq) to control the oil. So before you go slamming Putin for crawling into bed with the Iranians maybe you should slam your retarded baboon for rolling over and spreading his ass cheeks for the jews and the religious right. Then perhaps you can do a slog all about how your democracy is really nothing more than a fascist dictatorship. Or maybe a slog on how your voting system was stolen at least twice without so much as a whimper from your useless congress. Or maybe you can do a slog about how your scum armed forces have murdered more than 1 million Iraqis in an illegal war of genocide to control oil that isnt theirs. Iran hasnt invaded a country in ages. Its last war was one of self defense from the Iraqis. The isrealis and you yanks start wars of aggression all the time. Who is the warmongering scumbags here ? You fuckers are. Why not do a slog on that danny boy. Or is the reality of your nation a little too much for you to cope with so you live in denial instead ? Fix your own shit hole country. Keep out of everyone elses. And while youre at it leave Iran alone. Your nation is responsible for enough rapes tortures and murders this century. See if you can live as decent people for once.
I've been worrying since I was 6 that I'd live to see the end of the world. Looks like I was right to worry!
there is a late, really late-night(early morning to some) jesus humper (jack van impe and his freaky robot wife) on that says this very same thing, that IRAN, GODLESS RUSSIA, and Scary Chinamen are all going to align against us...it is written in his little book, so it must be true, and Dan it's all your fault, cause you wanted to murder every Iraqi or something...
the robot's wife's name is "rexella" isn't that a hoot? she has pink cotton between her ears, and glass eyes. one would think she was a comedy central actress doing her schtick..but no.
You know what, I can't believe this but I kind of agree with 8. LOL I mean, as far as I can tell we (the Americans) are totally the bad guys everywhere. (When I say The Americans I mean our government...not the regular shmoes.)
...although the regular shmoes (including myself) are totally culpable for ignoring the reality of things and letting it happen blindly while we buy more crap we don't need and anesthetize ourselves with drugs & entertainment.

The long-awaited announcement of Felipe Calderon's victory over AMLO — as Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is known here — comes at the end of this traveler's three weeks in Mexico. "Why don't you cancel your trip?" my husband had asked when the news reported the election protests that shut down the main avenue Reforma and closed off streets to traffic around the Zocalo were growing violent.

Ironic Cafe and Bar owners Steve Wilson and Sue Moller will
open a second cafe in December, having taken the lease to run
the cafe being built as part of the Toitu Otago Settlers
Museum redevelopment. It will be known as Ironic @ Toitu.
The two cafes will be only a short distance apart. The
existing cafe and bar, which opened in December 2007, is on
Anzac Ave opposite Dunedin Railway Station.
Three additional staff had been employed to man the museum
cafe, Ms Moller said yesterday.
The museum cafe will be in the new entrance foyer at the
northern end of the building. It will have both indoor and
outdoor seating and panoramic views of some heritage
buildings, such as the railway station.
Architecturally the building was "stunning", Mr Wilson said.
The cafe was set beside an imposing Oamaru-stone wall and had
glass doors leading to the courtyard.
The museum redevelopment and cafe will open to the public on
December 8.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Released: Oct 01st, 1998
Running Time: 75
Director: Shawn Ricks
Company: Sin City Ultra
Cast: Tody Tedeschi, Shawn Ricks, Wynoma Winter, Malitia, Anthony Delphia, Valentino (I), Temptress, Vanessa (VII), Paul Coxx, Dee (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Customers looking for a plot-based tape will enjoy this stylish video. The stunning box cover should encourage steady customer interest.
Okay, let's get something out on the table right away. Temptress is incredibly good looking in a wickedly wholesome girl-next-door sort of way. But she can't act. Tony Tedeschi, on the other hand, can act. But he looks like he needs to be hosed off and the oil squeezed out of his hair in this video. That having been said, In Your Dreams is a visually stunning bit of art. Moving smoothly between moody black-and-white and traditional color visuals and shot in a number of cities, it's a treat for the eyes.
The storyline is familiar to anyone who knows the frustrations of those who work within the adult entertainment industry: No matter how talented you may be (unless you're The Hedgehog), it seems like mainstream entertainment doesn't want you marrying it's sister, so to speak. Such is the plight of wannabe mainstream actors Tedeschi and Wynona Winter in this "Fuck you Hollywood" tale of broken dreams, unsupportive wives and sexual obsession.
The sex scenes range from average to very good, and all the ladies look entirely edible.

Saturday is Climate Impacts Day, a worldwide "day of witness" connecting extreme weather to climate change. One of the thousands of actions will be aimed at educating one powerful man.
Let's call subsidies what they are: freebies for the richest companies in history. Here are five rules of the road that should be applied to the fossil-fuel industry when it comes to subsidies.
Extremes like Chicago's freak March heat wave will be the new normal for a warming planet. But don't expect to hear about that from our presidential candidates.
A comprehensive look at the Keystone XL pipeline's economic impact finds we can expect 91 significant spills from the proposed project.
Big Oil will do anything to avoid coming to terms with the fact that the business models which have made it so profitable directly threaten the Earth's survival, writes Bill McKibben.
Why is the State Department ignoring climate change and pressuring the World Bank to approve loans for a giant coal-fired power plant in Kosovo?
The State Department and the president denied the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. This is a big win for activists, but the fight against Big Oil continues.
We're unfazed by things that should shake us to the core, like how Big Oil pays Congress to do its bidding. We need to get naïvely angry again.

La vision messianique biblique faite science-fiction,
Achat vérifié(De quoi s'agit-il ?)
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence (Broché)
It is interesting to read this older book after the more recent ones. It reveals some of the ideological axioms and methodological traits and mistakes that he started from. And unluckily it is necessary to go back to basics at times when you are dealing with a bestselling author in a field where it is easy to predict the future, even the future of the world, the field of technology and what's more information technology.
Ray Kurzweil with more recent books took us into the clouds of his cloud computing and appeared on these clouds like some Messiah who was the rainmaker of the apocalypse, that time when humans will be taken over by another world entirely dominated by a non-human intelligence, even if created originally by man himself. He tries to be the prophet of the future of a world created by evolution stated as intelligent (whose intelligence?) and later by man's intelligence, and then destroyed for plain humans by the machines created by this human intelligence. The vision is a mixture of Terminator 1-2-3-4, Matrix 1-2-3, The Stand, and The Book of Revelation. He even gives at the end of this here book the four Horses of the Apocalypse page 256: Red War ("the species may destroy itself before achieving this step"), White Political Power ("a malfunction," hence a problem in the system whose constitution is not clear cut), the Black Justice or Commerce and their scales ("a software virus" introduced by the badly designed software or by a pirate or hacker) and the Pale Green Pestilence (a "real biological virus" devised and accidentally, on purpose from the machine or on purpose from a malevolent human with reference to the example of "HIV")
But this enormous metaphor, always present in this book, is quite often expressed when speaking of the beginning of the world, the creation of the Universe, the Big Bang, the end of the world, the end of the Universe, the Big Crunch or the Whimper, the beginning of time and the end of time, etc, the total domination with the alpha and the omega, that basic biblical, Jewish, Christian and Islamic concept that time has a first instant and will have a last instant and both were decided by some God. He even manages to present the God's spot of some epileptic god-fearing patients who see God in their trances, and that vision is identified in one spot in their brain in such a way that we may believe it is true for everyman on earth, hence that God is in every single one of our brains.
This is clandestine and yet widely open religious ideology directly borrowed from the basic sacred books of the three Semitic religions. He could have quoted easily the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls and the Koran. But he kept his quotations secret. Too bad. When one is speaking religion it is important that this one says so and give the references not to be accused of plagiarism.
Let's start with time. Time does not exist in reality, in the real world. Only duration does and time was invented by human beings as soon as they tried to measure that duration. So it is absurd to speak of an acceleration of time or of a deceleration of time. We may speak of the speed of a phenomenon, but not of the speed of time. Time is a human concept and as such it is absolutely objective and has to remain so, like any measurement invented by human beings. Then he speaks a lot about the subjective impression we have according to various psychological states we may be in. That implies that we feel a certain amount of time as having a short or long duration but duration is not time. A star does not know time, nor duration as for that, but for two different reasons, because time is a human invention and because a star has no consciousness or awareness of duration, or anything else as for that. Kurzweil when speaking of time or using the concept of time is in fact juggling around with colored balls and he wants us to believe he is not a juggler but the balls and their dancing in the air are objective descriptions of the Universe.
If he had been prudent with time he would have been realistic with scientific and technological what's more models. All our knowledge is nothing but a complex set of models built by our mind on the basis of our sensations transformed into perceptions in our brain by our mind.
But Kurzweil never discusses the concept of mind and hardly refers to it. He refers to the brain which would in a way or another contain our intelligence and our knowledge. He uses most of the time a computing metaphor and the brain is a hard disk and intelligence is the software or the programming, knowledge being the memory or the data bank of the hard disk. That metaphor is primitive and it is a shortcut if not a mental short circuit.
What is the mind? The mind is a construct of man's brain built from all the individual has accumulated as for sensations, transformed into perceptions and articulated one on top, or whatever, of the other into a complex architecture from the very first moment of conception. The Pro-life or Pro-abortion debate has no value here. The fetus starts feeling and accumulating things, sensations, as soon as it is a fetus, hence just after conception; That fetus will have a heart of its own around the fourth week and from one beating (its mother's heart) it will shift to two beatings (his mother's and his own hearts) and these two will coordinate from one moment to the next and the fetus experiences from the first day and then from the fourth week the beating of one heart and then of two and the coordination of both. Stress in the mother, pleasure in the mother, fear in the mother change the beating of her heart and the fetus knows it. We mustn't forget that the fetus will eventually develop mirror neurons that will multiply the empathy he is living from the very first day. All that is ignored by Kurzweil.
Worse even he ignores that the child from the twentieth or twenty-fourth week of gestation will be able to clearly hear all that the mother says and all that is said within one yard and a half around the mother, and by the way not only said but all noises or music or whatever sound. Before that audition the fetus could feel the vibrations of the mother's body while she was speaking. Now he can hear the very clusters of sounds she produces, and those are associated to the vibrations, and those that are produced in her direction. At birth the new-born will be able to react to the clusters of sounds that had been common with the mother and experiments were done with the names of the siblings of the new-born and the baby reacted to these clusters one hour after birth. All that is ignored and of course language is ignored in its hierarchical articulated nature.
But there is more. The birth itself is never taken into account and the trauma it brings with discontinuous feeding, with breathing, with hunger and thirst, and the first cry of the baby. It will not take the baby very long to understand that when it cries some adult is going to come to take care of its needs, wants, discomforts and desires. That creates a basic MATRIX of hierarchized functions centering on a relation. The functions are theme and location, source and goal, agent and theme. These functions are the basic functions of any human syntax and the relations, static (of the "be" type or of the "have" type) or active (of the transitive, intransitive, transferring or positioning types, not to speak of the particular transfers of "give" and "take"). All that is learned from experience by the new-born child and built in his mind as a model that will inform the language when words become possible.
Yes the child listens and yes the child will babble and discover that the lip movements of sucking or rejecting the tit of his mother or the bottle-tit can be articulated on the flow of air coming from his larynx and when that larynx starts lowering the child will be able to pronounce "ma", "pa", "da", "ta", "ka". As soon as the larynx is low enough to control the flow of air and as soon as the articulatory power of the mouth, jaws, tongue, glottis becomes more developed the child will be able to produce and articulate more sounds, and he will start associating the clusters of sound with the referential elements around him, on the basis of and into the basic MATRIX he will have by then vastly developed in his mind through and from experience.
But the main mistake of Kurzweil is methodological. He does not seems to understand, actually he can't, that the mind being a construct will change its construction constantly every single time a new element of knowledge appears. That connection between the knowledge and the architecture of the mind is not seen by Kurzweil and the evolutionary nature of that relation is not seen either, especially not in its dual carriageway dialectic: a given state of the mind enables a child to learn a certain item of knowledge but that item of knowledge reacting on the mind changes it and restructures it and then the mind is able to learn some new item of knowledge he could not learn before. And that process is never finished, except with death, that can be mental before being physical, but that's not the point here.
So the main methodological defect appears then.
He states what he calls laws, particularly the Law of Accelerating Returns. But he does not seem to know this law is a mental model constructed by his mind of what might be a natural phenomenon. But his law contains a very old defect generally identified as the paradox of Ulysses and the Hare. If Man's mental development is slower than the machine's development then sooner or later the machine will step beyond man. But he forgets the basic principle of man's development. It is mental, hence in the mind, hence a construct, a model, hence every step of it develops the mind itself and every development of what this mind produces develops the mind itself, which means we cannot in anyway consider the mind (and Kurzweil only considers the brain) as in anyway static in power and extension. The brain is hardly overused by the mind. Isn't it said that Einstein used something like 12 or 13 % of his brain? The brain is far from being fully used and the mind has quite a lot of brain reserve to develop more and more models of reality.
The last point I would like to make here is the social hierarchy that is behind that thinking.
At the top you have "the software-based humans who vastly exceed those still using native neuron-cell-based computation." No matter how vast this class is, it is a dominant class. We are in pure science fiction where these superior beings are purely virtual living in virtual bodies in a virtual reality and that they can eventually descend into a nano-engineered physical body. That reminds me of Hubbard's "theta" and "MEST"
The population this superior class dominates is to be seen as composed of several layers.
First the middle human class that uses "neural implant technology to reach an enormous augmentation of human perceptual and cognitive abilities." Note the mind is still absent since, according to Bertrand Russell, the body and its senses can only increase the quality of the sensations, and it is the mind that will build the perceptions. That's the short cut of the presentation which is a short circuit: without a mind the way I defined it, along with Bertrand Russell and all cognitive linguists, we blow the system because the mind is the fuse of it.
At the bottom the lower class is composed of the humans who do not utilize the afore-mentioned implants and are unable to meaningfully participate in dialogues with those who are using them.
This society is an echo of Brave New World and it amounts to real apartheid based not on race, not even on culture and education, but on the use or not of neural implant technology. There is not choice whatsoever in this social vision. Under the virtual dominant class that may condescend to get into a nano-engineered physical body to deal with real humans, the choice, if it is a choice, is to accept neural implants or not. On one hand you can participate in the society. On the other hand you cannot and I guess you will be sent to some reservation if not a simple extermination plant. And this does not answer the question of who will decide and through what procedure, and with what appeal route, that this physical body will be entrusted to the virtual dominant individuals to be able to intervene in the real world. Who will decide who is going to be the vessel of these virtual dominant beings? We are this time in Supernatural. So we can ask who is Lucifer and who is Michael.
To conclude, and I will spend a lot more time to discuss Kurzweil's books (all of them) in another arena, this ideology justifies deistic visions without hardly referring to God. This ideology is socially segregative. This ideology negates the developmental role of the mind by negating the mind itself. This ideology does not understand the developmental role of language among humans. This ideology ignores all the research done on pre-natal existence and cognitive process, procedures and power.
And surprisingly enough some of its conclusions are extremely close to Hubbard's, particularly in the science-fiction of it. Hubbard was more on retrospective science fiction, inheritance from the very distant past. Kurzweil is more on a prospective science fiction, the production of a future that will transcend us. But both base their visions of man and human society on a selection according to some kind of science-fictional elaboration that takes the form of some pseudo-psychiatric form in Hubbard, and that last "elaboration" word is an understatement.

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested a man suspected of shooting and critically injuring a fellow employee at a landscaping business in Sacramento County.
The Sacramento Bee says (http://bit.ly/1oxcrOS ) the shooting was reported Thursday morning in Rancho Cordova. Witnesses told police they heard two other workers arguing and then the sound of gunfire.
The suspect, 52-year-old Cristobal Chavez, fled the business in his car.
He was later arrested in north Sacramento. Police said Chavez would be booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
The shooting victim, who police did not identify, suffered life-threatening injuries.
Investigators say a gun apparently used in the shooting has been recovered.

Founding Mothers & Fathers: Gendered Power and the Forming of American Society (Paperback)
In this pioneering study of the ways in which the first settlers defined the power, prerogatives, and responsibilities of the sexes, one of our most incisive historians opens a window onto the world of Colonial America. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary documents, Mary Beth Norton tells the story of the Pinion clan, whose two-generation record of theft, adultery, and infanticide may have made them our first dysfunctional family. She reopens the case of Mistress Ann Hibbens, whose church excommunicated her for arguing that God had told husbands to listen to their wives. And here is the enigma of Thomas, or Thomasine Hall, who lived comfortably as both a man and a woman in 17th century Virginia. Wonderfully erudite and vastly readable, Founding Mothers & Fathers reveals both the philosophical assumptions and intimate domestic arrangements of our colonial ancestors in all their rigor, strangeness, and unruly passion.
"An important, imaginative book. Norton destroys our nostalgic image of a 'golden age' of family life and re-creates a more complex past whose assumptions and anxieties are still with us."--Raleigh News and Observer

SA8000 Advanced Auditor Training
Social auditors play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the SA8000 certification and other labor audits to ensure human rights in workplaces around the world. As of February 2012, SAI's SA8000 Advanced Auditor Training Course consists of two mandatory components: online training and classroom training.
Part 1: Online Training: SA8000 Advanced Auditor Pre-Requisite Online Course
This online course reviews fundamental concepts and highlights from SAI's 5-day Basic Auditor classroom course. It is a pre-requisite to SAI's 3-day Advanced Auditor classroom course. The goal is to promote a stimulating, value-added learning environment - where all participants enter the Advanced Auditor classroom well-prepared and ready to engage with trainers and peers in the advanced exercises and discussions. The course can also be taken as a standalone, for those seeking a primer or refresher on key aspects of management-systems based auditing for labor standards.
The online course takes about 2 hours to complete and may be accessed on-demand at the participant's convenience. On-screen slides, recorded audio/video, and non-scored quizzes provide an interactive learning experience. Finally, a scored on-screen exam helps participants gauge whether they have effectively absorbed the material.
*Please note: The SA8000 Basic Course is also a pre-requisite for the SA8000 Advanced Course. Participants must have already successfully completed the course and exam prior to enrolling in the SA8000 Advanced Course.
Part 2: Classroom Training: 3-day SA8000 Advanced Auditor Classroom Course
The 3-day classroom course reinforces and develops advanced knowledge, skills and attitudes for experienced social auditors. The class builds on the collective experiences of the participants, offering insight into fundamental issues that arise on a regular basis in field assessments.
Key topics:
This course is designed to simulate an audit and includes document review, worker interviews, writing non-conformance requests and conducting open and closed meetings.
The class concludes with a one-hour examination taken on the final day of the course to ensure that each student has absorbed the critical teaching points successfully and students who successfully pass are awarded a Certificate of Successful Completion.
Both online and classroom components are required for all participants - neither component is available as a standalone and one cannot be substituted for the other. Anyone who does not complete the online course or scores below 75% on both exam attempts will have 10 points deducted from the final classroom exam.

Mt Rex: Hybrid-programming within an industrial terrain vague. A means towards the reinvigoration of a marginalised community.
Lockie, Carley Maree
View fulltext online
Permanent link to Research Bank record:http://hdl.handle.net/10652/2003
My home is at Muriwai; a west coast beach that bounds the Tasman Sea and stretches Northward to the Kaipara Harbour. The legacy of the Kaipara Harbour is [Mt Rex's] concern. Through the preservation and reuse of a semi-abandoned industrial site, the project directs visitors' attention towards the Harbour – its reputation as being untamed, its significance to local communities – and fights for the preservation of its ecologies. The project includes the hybrid-programming of three site-specific programmes on a semi-abandoned industrial landscape – crossing live industry with the touristic and scientific. Programmes have been proposed that will be beneficial to each another and to both the site and wider context in which they are situated. The project challenges society's views about marginal landscapes, and takes advantage of the changing tourist gaze to educate visitors about the area. [Mt Rex] is not an attempt to construct boundaries, enforce reason, or conceal flaws, but rather to celebrate the specifics of place, and to celebrate the marginalised. With the redirection of the tourist gaze and the renunciation of society's ideas toward approaching design in marginalised territories, (terrains vague), the project aims for a community and regional reinvigoration.
