I absolutely love this shoe. The primeknit breaths like a sock, buts holds the foot as tights as I would expect from any other shoe. Also, the shoe looks awesome. Looks even better in person than the picture shoes. My only comment is that the shoe runs a little big. I would probably order 1/2 size down from normal. I usually wear 10.5, but ordered a 10 and it is perfect. ... read more
Great quality and looks great. I got them for 49.98 at a adidas outlet since their was a storewide promo. The quality great even if you get printed or the mesh or primeknit versions. Their's also a ton of colorways to choose from to meet your taste and their comfortable. ... read more
It is great unless i tought it was more confortable My foot doesn't breath as i was expecting Not perfect for people who sweat easily Difficult to pick up the size, i have a 45,5 abd had to go for a 46,2/3 , tried once in shop the 46. ... read more
previously owned a pair of zx flux, and they were the best shoes i ever had. I saw these in town and i HAD to get them. Amazing fit, gorgeous colour combo and they're unbelievably eye-catching and attractive, 10/10 all day long. ... read more
I love the shoes. I bought three pair but I really want the Gazelles in the light blue color that the originals were issued in. I can't seem to find the matching color. That is disappointing. If you do issue them in that color then I will own four pair! ... read more
I love Gazeele 2s with the wide toe and saw this colour a beautiful purpley grey type blue and had to have it. Imagine how disappointed i was to receive them and find the inner sole was not stuck to the shoe and that the glue holding it there was too weak. I have many many pairs of gazelles but have had this happen once before on a pair of 2s. Sort it out adidas ... read more
Gazelles -- the originals, which were still available just a few years ago -- always had 8 eyelets. Just one of the subtle, cool things that set them apart from the pack. These ones, with just 7: meh. ... read more
These are the best gazelle re-issues, made to a very high standard and they fit perfectly, simple and stylish these icons are the ideal kicks to wear with a smart pair of jeans and polo shirt, Once again top notch from /// ... read more
Much cleaner look compared to many Adidas originals, including the OG (70s-style) Gazelles. Top quality suede, great sleek look on the foot. they fit a tad long but have a good width. Very comfortable for a trend shoe. Only very mild complaints: they are a bit clunky in the heel. Also, the insoles came popped outbut, since I've stuck them back in they have stayed in place. ... read more
Allthough I like my Stan Smith shoes more, it's still the perfect shoe for me. Casual style but still very suited if you want to go to a party. The fit is great, but I think people with wider feet will have some problems. I think this is the best looking Gazelle on the market right now! ... read more
Style and comfort! These shoes are by far better than the NoMaD and the YEEZY! I have all three and this version of the Flux, which I believe adidas have been very "over-kill" with, far to many releases and versions is better in quality and style! The fuss over the NMD and YEEZY I don't believe is warranted! OK I have them for my collection purposes but don't think there good looking at all and the quality isn't there! Save your money, don't believe the NMD or YEEZY hype and DEFIANTLY get these instead - The baby blue is super sexy and the "floating" three strips kill it! COOL... VERY COOL!! ... read more
A great shoe that provides everything you need. Colour combination is awesome and really stylish. Sizing is excellent and fits like a glove. Really comfortable to wear every day. Very tempted to get them in the other colours as well! ... read more
At first I thought the shoe was a little bulky, but after wearing them for about two weeks I seem to have broken them in and they are fitting fine after tightening the laces. Pretty much every pair of Adidas that I own require a 'break in' period and these were no different, they seem to be really sturdy also. Thanks Adidas for having these unique looks on deck! Peace! ... read more
This shoe has been perfect. I can wear them for a couple of hours a day and they feel comfortable and light on my feet. I think they are slightly narrow although it's also true to be said that I do have wide feet, maybe for those of you who share similar widths may too have to move down half a size. I also think they look great too. I've worn them in a lot of outfits mostly jeans and a t-shirt and they always seem to go we'll. the material is excellent quality and the sole is great too, it holds itself well and doesn't easily mark unlike some others I have. Great trainer ... read more
I'm very disappointed with this item. I purchased these shoes about two months ago and after only light use around the office (I work as a web designer so I sit at a desk most of the day) these shoes developed a hole in the front. I'm a very loyal Adidas customer and I consistently fit into a 9.5-- so this shouldn't have been caused by wearing the incorrect size. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. ... read more
The shoe looks great but it runs way too big so buy your exact size or a size smaller, but if you don't want to take the risk like I did and order them online and get the wrong size I would suggest going to a local footlocker and trying on a pair like these to get your average size and then order these shoes. Other than that I would say they are great looking shoes and go good with almost any outfit. ... read more
These shoes are the best. I own a pair of Yeezy 350 Boosts in Moonrock Grey, and these are almost identical in comfort. Styling, on the other hand, looks close to Yeezy's. I would recommend these to anyone. ... read more
I bought this shoe after I lost out on the NMD's. I thought this would be a bad consolation prize but I was wrong. My initial reaction was the shoe is a little bulky but after walking around in it for a couple days, this shoe is perfectly sized. It's supremely comfortable and I've never had foot pain when going to classes or hanging out with friends. The quality is top notch as well and it came with a pair of white laces as well which is always a plus. The wrap around tongue threw me for a curve at first but really it just adds to the uniqueness of the shoe. Lots of compliments on this color way too ... read more
Got em in my size, were too small so I went to adidas outlet store my usual size 10 .5 went to 13 but no problem after finding right size, mucho comfort love the soft leathery suede feel. Great shoe for one on the mark down list $60 ... read more

I have a mini display port output on my laptop and a 27" widescreen LCD monitor that takes in DVI (dual link I presume). To rectify the issue, I purchased a display port to DVI dual link adapter. However, when I plug everything together, the 27" LCD monitor doesn't seem to be able to do any resolution other than 640x480. After two or three weeks of being plugged in, one day, the monitor all of a sudden started displaying the proper resolution of 1920x1200 and I have not changed anything (not even rebooted).
Overjoyed, I used my new monitor for over a month and all was good.
Recently, I went on a rather long trip and took my laptop with me. After coming back, I plug my cables back in and now my silly monitor is back to 640x480 resolution again with no way of changing it. I'm going to leave it plugged in again for a few weeks to see if it suddenly works again.
What is causing this and how do I fix it?
My laptop output - display port
Adapter input/output - display port/dvi dual link
Monitor input cable - dvi-i (yes, I know its not a dual link cable)
OS - Windows 7 ultimate
I know DVI-I can support the standard 1920x1200 resolution, so the cable to the monitor (that it came with) doesn't have to be dual-link capable, and it did work for a month some how, (my guess is voodoo magic), but I would like to know why its doing it.
Since I asked the question, I have left my laptop plugged in and now this morning I notice that the resolution of my monitor is now correct. The only thing I did today was wake it up from sleep.

New "Protectasil" VaccineDecember 30th, 2010 by Elizabeth Kissling
S.A.N.E Vax Objects to FDA Ruling Gardasil Use for Anal CancerDecember 29th, 2010 by Elizabeth Kissling
Guest post by Leslie Botha, S.A.N.E. Vax
Increasing Number of Consumers are Concerned over HPV Vaccine Safety
The FDA's December 22, 2010 ruling to expand the use of Gardasil for anal cancer prevention is unacceptable, according to Norma Erickson, President of S.A.N.E Vax. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil for the prevention of anal cancer and associated pre-cancer lesions due to human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18 in people ages 9 through 26 years. Immediately, the news flooded the media – with many postings on HIV/AIDS sites.
However, medical consumers are unaware the 2010 Gardasil® Patient Product Information (PPI) states if a woman has "…immune problems, like HIV infection, cancer, or takes medicines that affect the immune system" they must be reported to the health care provider. This should be of grave concern to HIV/AID patients and their physicians who may consider the vaccine to "prevent" anal cancer.
Gardasil is already approved for the same age population for the prevention of cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancer and the associated precancerous lesions caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 in females, and for the prevention of genital warts caused by types 6 and 11 in both males and females in the same age group. This same demographic has reported over 20,915 adverse reactions – mostly from Gardasil to VAERS – the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. In addition, 89 deaths and 382 abnormal pap tests post vaccination have been reported with an estimated 1 to 10% of the population filing, according to the National Vaccine Information Center. The rate of deaths and adverse reactions are reported as a percentage of doses distributed, not doses actually administered, and therefore CDC statistics on reported injuries likely misrepresent their frequency.
Data on adverse reactions from males ages 9 to 26 are just starting to be reported to VAERS. Hundreds of social media sited, journalists, researchers and educators have joined forces to publicly decry the faulty science, data, research and fast-tracking of this vaccine through the FDA.
Of course, Merck & Co. denies a causal relationship between the adverse reactions and deaths to their award-winning vaccine. However, on December 20, the QMI News Agency in Canada reported a Quebec coroner can't explain why a 14-year-old girl died after receiving a dose of the Gardasil vaccine. Even though coroner Michel Ferland's report concludes the adolescent girl died from drowning, and while there is no evidence the shot killed the teenager, he is refusing to rule out a link between Gardasil and her death. On December 13, Michael Smith, North American Correspondent, MedPage Today wrote an article titled: Many Fail to Finish HPV Series as Recommended stating that "…Many girls and young women may not be completing all three doses of the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine in a timely fashion…" According to Dr. Lea Widdice, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center; in a single-institution retrospective analysis, only 14% of girls and young women completed all three doses within seven months of the first, and only 28% did so within 12 months.
Although statistical data was cited for non-compliance, SANE VAX wants to know if the girls were surveyed for their reasons in not completing the vaccine series. Until the true reasons are known, consumers must remain wary about the potential health dangers from the administration of Gardasil and Cervarix.
According to the FDA there are limitations on the use and effectiveness of Gardasil:
- GARDASIL does not eliminate the necessity for women to continue to undergo recommended cervical cancer screening.
- GARDASIL has not been demonstrated to provide protection against disease from vaccine and non-vaccine HPV types to which a person has previously been exposed through sexual activity.
- GARDASIL is not intended to be used for treatment of active external genital lesions; cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers; CIN; VIN; or VaIN.
- GARDASIL has not been demonstrated to protect against diseases due to HPV types not contained in the vaccine. Not all vulvar and vaginal cancers are caused by HPV, and GARDASIL protects only against those vulvar and vaginal cancers caused by HPV 16 and 18. GARDASIL does not protect against genital diseases not caused by HPV.
- Vaccination with GARDASIL may not result in protection in all vaccine recipients.
According to the recently revised copy of "Cervical Cancer Prevention, Health Professional Version," published by the National Cancer Institute (NCI): "The finding of HPV viral DNA integrated in most cellular genomes of cervical carcinomas supports epidemiologic data linking this agent to cervical cancer however, direct causation has not been demonstrated."
On October 19, 2010 S.A.N.E. Vax submitted a formal letter to Jack Stapleton, M.D., Chair Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee regarding Valid endpoint and reliable HPV genotyping for expanded use proposal of Gardasil® vaccine stating… "In the interest of promoting and protecting the public health, S.A.N.E. Vax, Inc. respectfully requests that expanded use for Gardasil® as an anal cancer preventive vaccine be delayed, until such time as the efficacy of the vaccine is properly evaluated using the true endpoint for anal cancer prevention, and a reliable HPV genotyping method for detection of type-specific HPV infections." The Gardasil vaccine campaign on unsuspecting and ill-informed medical consumers must be halted until an independent study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. As it stands, this is a classic case of pharma/government vs. medical consumers with monumental social/political implications. The HPV vaccine travesty will go down in history as an example of unethical experimental medical procedures harming the health and well being of the very people the vaccines were supposedly designed to protect.

- Current methods of screening for ovarian cancer have not significantly reduced death from the disease.
- Surveys of women in nine countries reveal that "a range of factors influence a woman's choice of contraceptive". D'oh.

Sex, Lies and PharmaceuticalsDecember 16th, 2010 by Chris Hitchcock
There's a new book about the intimate role of the pharmaceutical industry in the construction of diseases, using the example of FSD (female sexual dysfunction). The authors are Ray Moynihan, an Australian investigative journalist with a longstanding interest in this topic, and Barbara Mintzes, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia. I haven't yet seen the book, but listened to the webinar, which is now available on the Canadian Women's Health Network (CWHN) website.
There were a few things that struck me. One is how blatant the interference of the pharmaceutical industry can be. For example, the webinar includes a reference to an email sent to Lenore Tiefer letting her know that a formative 1997 meeting about female sexual dysfunction was only open to those who were either part of or willing to work with the pharmaceutical industry. Another was the way in which the language about the medical understanding of the cause of FSD tracked the introduction of 3 different potential drugs, each with different targets and different mechanisms. So far, each drug has failed in clinical trials.
The medicalization of human sexuality separates our bodies from our emotional lives, and creates a framework within which emotional or relationship difficulties are seen as being caused by the biological, rather than being interdependent. And little attention is paid to the ways in which pharmaceutical cures may even create relationship problems that were not there before.
There are, of course, parallels with other cases. For example, the idea that menopausal is a hormone deficiency disease makes it much easier to argue that every healthy menopausal woman should take hormone replacement therapy. This replacement language is unfortunately still alive and well in both medical and popular usage.
Another parallel is the construction of "premenstrual syndrome" into a psychiatric diagnosis. This has been provisionally incorporated into the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association, initially as "Late Luteal Dysphoric Disorder", now "Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder". Among other things, this construction supported the repackaging and marketing of Prozac as Sarafem for this newly created psychiatric disorder, extending the marketability of Prozac beyond its patent expiry date.
The APA is currently working on DSM V, to be published in May, 2013, and there is an opportunity for activism. So far, PMDD is listed in the "needs more research" section. But chances are it will be put forward again for the next edition.
PMS Is Not UniversalDecember 14th, 2010 by Elizabeth Kissling
Not only does PMS not turn women into Vikings, heavyweight boxers, or Mexican wrestlers (see yesterday's post about ads for Kitadol), it does not affect every woman who menstruates. Research using daily surveys to examine patterns of depression and anxiety symptoms in young women found that some women experience symptoms mid-cycle, others pre-menstrually, and still others do not experience mood changes in association with their menstrual cycle.
Menstruating Women are Like Vikings!December 13th, 2010 by Elizabeth Kissling
At least according to the newest ad for Kitadol, a menstrual pain reliever sold in Chile.
According to The Viking Network, Viking women retained property and inheritance rights after marriage, plus the right to divorce a husband who mistreated her or their children, insulted her family, or failed to be a good provider. These are considerably greater legal rights than most women had in that era (approximately 800-1050 CE).
I can think of worse metaphors for menstruating women.

- The National Women's Law Center issued the 2010 national and state-by-state report card on women's health, evaluating criteria such as percentage of women with health insurance, access to abortion providers, causes of death, frequency of annual mammograms and pap smears, and many more. As a nation, the U.S. meets just three benchmarks: the percentage of women getting mammograms regularly, the percentage of women visiting the dentist annually, and the percentage of women getting screened for colorectal cancer. FAIL.
- As U.S. readers know, Elizabeth Edwards died of breast cancer this week, at age 61. Amanda Hess takes on the body shaming she experienced from the press, in life and in death.
- More on new TSA (Transportation Security Administration) screening procedures and gender: Judith Levine explains why she'd rather be gazed at than groped.
- Congratulations to everyone at LunaPads on ten years of eco positive periods!

Public may be invited to comment on suitability of funded research projectsDecember 9th, 2010 by Chris Hitchcock
Apparently in the US the Republicans are advocating that the general public be given the opportunity to comment on the usefulness or suitability of publicly funded research. While on the face of it this might not seem to be related to menstruation research, it allows targetted campaigns against controversial research, such as that related to sexuality, abortion, etc. Moreover, stigmatized areas of research, like those related to menstruation, may also trigger reactions from people who feel that this is not a suitable topic for study.
In any case, it's worth double checking titles and lay abstracts with this potential scrutiny in mind.
Mammography and the cycle – timing improves accuracyDecember 7th, 2010 by Chris Hitchcock
According to this article in the journal Radiology, menstrual timing affects how sensitive screening mammography is. The authors analysed the results of screening mammographies collected as part of the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium. They used menstrual timing (week of the menstrual cycle).
Overall, they found that there were no patterns, but when they subdivided by how recently women had had a mammogram, they found some interesting patterns. For women who had had a screening mammogram during the previous 2 years, they found that the mammography was more sensitive (correctly identified those with breast cancer as having breast cancer) during the first week of the cycle. For women having their first mammogram, the pattern was reversed, with screening during the first week tending to be less sensitive. And for women who had a prior mammogram more than 3 years previously, there was no pattern. The abstract says that menstrual timing did not affect the overall rate of detecting cancer. Other online coverage of this result quotes the author as saying that the difference between the first time detections and the detections in regularly screened women might be due to a difference in the size of tumours found – large tumours are picked up on first screenings, while subsequent screenings tend to find smaller tumours.
The study involved fairly large numbers (about 1200 cases of breast cancer in 380 000 mammograms), the results were found in subgroup analysis and the significance levels were around the 0.05 level. So it's worth viewing these results with caution, and looking for confirmation in future studies.
In any case, those women with cyclic breast tenderness probably already know that mammograms are less painful if you time them appropriately, and it's good that that coincides with the best sensitivity for women getting regular screening.

The Way of Christ: The Gospel of John Through the Unitive Lens (Paperback)
While some scholars approach the Gospels from an historical point of view, analyzing John in the context of his own personal experience as a follower of Jesus, others focus on John's roots in ancient Judaism. In this provocative book, Albert LaChance approaches the Gospel of John from the perspective of Eastern mysticism, drawing on indigenous beliefs and ancient global spiritual traditions originating in the Middle East, India, and China. Through this expansive approach, the book attempts to understand John's Gospel in its richest sense as a guide to achieving the direct experience of a universal God.
Throughout the book, LaChance returns to the Gospel's Prologue and uses it as a framework for uncovering Jesus's message about his own identity as the Son of God and his similarities to ancient Eastern mystics. The author also discusses themes woven throughout the Gospel of John that derive from Eastern religions and other indigenous spiritual practices: individual ego versus the essential self, separation versus union, and the earthly versus the heavenly. This important book delves into the mysteries of Christian understanding to unearth universal truths, defining the very essence of religious and spiritual experience.
About the Author
Albert J. LaChance, Ph.D., LADC, CAS, has written and spoken widely on the subjects of psychology, addiction, spirituality, and ecology. Since 1990, he has run Greenspirit: The Center for Counseling and Consciousness, in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he has counseled individuals, families, and groups, and has consulted organizations regarding interpersonal dynamics. Prior to this, he spent five years working with Thomas Berry at his Riverdale Center for Religious Research. Dr. LaChance is an American Academy certified Addiction Specialist in the areas of sex addiction and chemical dependency. He is a member of the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Counselors, and a licensed addiction counselor in the state of New Hampshire.
A knowledgeable and skilled instructor, Dr. LaChance speaks nationally for Cross Country University, and has taught world religions from the high school to the university level. He has been widely interviewed on television and radio and in newspapers and magazines. Dr. LaChance has contributed to several books and recently authored "The Architecture of the Soul: A Unitive Model of the Human Person "and "Cultural Addiction: The Greenspirit Guide to Recovery," which includes a foreword by Thomas Berry.
Dr. LaChance holds a bachelor's degree in art history and literature from the University of New Hampshire, a master's in psychology and spirituality from Holy Names College, and a doctorate in integral psychology from Union University. He is married and lives with his wife in New Boston, NH. They have two grown daughters.
Praise For…
"Albert LaChance brings to The Way of Christ the intellect of a scholar and the intuition of a mystic. Most importantly, his enlightened perspective presents Jesus as a universal teacher of all peoples and all cultures, ushering in what he himself calls 'Third Millennium Christianity.' This book is a must read."
—Craig Bullock, Director, The Assisi Institute, Rochester, New York
"There may be some who think that Dr. LaChance has misunderstood Christianity. Rather, in a brilliant and truly inspired manner, he leads the reader, gently but surely, to the essential spirituality of this great Asian religion. Dr. LaChance helps us see how Jesus, much like the great Indian yogi Sri Aurobindo, heals the division between heaven and earth, the ultimate source of all our suffering. As we read, we come to understand with our hearts what Jesus meant when he told us that we are the 'light of the world,' and that it is our purpose, in every moment of our life, to shine that light–to marry heaven and earth, Spirit and Matter. In these tumultuous times, this spiritual marriage is what is most needed to bring peace and justice to our world. Read Dr. LaChance's book and open your heart to this inspired vision of twenty-first century Christianity."
—Don Salmon, PhD, coauthor of Yoga Psychology and the Transformation of
Consciousness: Seeing Through the Eyes of Infinity
"I have been a practicing Hindu for over thirty years. I have been a Christian my entire life. Growing up in Georgia as the son of a Southern Baptist deacon, I never imagined that I would one day follow an ancient 'heathen' religion. If I had been able to read Dr. LaChance's brilliant exegesis of my beloved Gospel of John, I would have immediately seen the essential underlying oneness of the Vedic and Christian traditions. As it was, I discovered this through my own years of study, meditations, and experiences. In my evolving spiritual life, I never for a moment let go of my relationship with Jesus. In fact, my heart has always known that I was following the path of Jesus as I went deeper into the philosophical teachings and practices of Gaudiya Vaishnava Hinduism.
"Albert LaChance's profound understanding and clear explanation of the teachings of Jesus via St. John are appearing at a most opportune time in the history of the world. For the first time, ordinary people around the globe have access to the full Wisdom Teachings of the world faiths. In his teachings and writing, Albert cuts through the superficial differences of these traditions while illuminating the significant differences. His searing and passionate words look, smell, and taste of truth—especially his explanation of the simultaneous oneness of the soul/world with God, and yet the distinct and celebratory differences of humankind from God resonate with the integrated realizations of the great Vedic acaryas: Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhava, Vallabacarya, and Chaitanya. Albert's unveiling of John's gospel reveals the logos of God who descends as Avatar to show the way of love that is at the heart of the teachings of Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna. And I thank him from the depths of my being."
—J. Phillip Jones, MA, LMHC, author of Light on Death: The Spiritual Art of Dying
"Before I was exposed to Dr. LaChance's profound understanding of the mission and message of Yeshua (Jesus), I had little interest in and even less affection for Christianity. Instead, I oriented my life around what was, for me, the much more accessible and infinitely more practical renaissance of Vedic Science presented by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Since discovering how Dr. LaChance's unitive vision has rescued the teaching of the Divine man, Yeshua, from the ravages of time and cultural distortion, I have found a new yearning in my heart to grow closer to the wholesome beauty and wisdom of the One who is indeed the Son of God."
—Allen Penrod, MA, Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield, Iowa
"Dr. LaChance is a rare voice of lucidity within the emerging consciousness of third-millennium Christian mysticism. When viewed through an Eastern lens, traditional Christian doctrine yields forth a living, breathing vision of radical transformation that is as close to what we know of Yeshua's first century Judean Aramaic as anything I have ever encountered."
—Dale Allen Hoffman, director of The Aramaic Healing Circle

From the acclaimed author of Video Nights in Kathmandu comes this intriguing new book that deciphers the cultural ramifications of globalization and the rising tide of worldwide displacement.
Beginning in Los Angeles International Airport, where town life?shops, services, sociability?is available without a town, Pico Iyer takes us on a tour of the transnational village our world has become. From Hong Kong, where people actually live in self-contained hotels, to Atlanta's Olympic Village, which seems to inadvertently commemorate a sort of corporate universalism, to Japan, where in the midst of alien surfaces his apartment building is called "The Memphis," Iyer ponders what the word "home" can possibly mean in a world whose face is blurred by its cultural fusion and its alarmingly rapid rate of change.
About the Author
Pico Iyer is a British-born essayist and novelist long based in both California and Japan. He is the author of numerous books about crossing cultures, among them Video Night in Kathmandu", The Lady and the Monk, "and The Global Soul". An essayist for Time" since 1986, he also publishes regularly in Harper s", The New York Review of Books", The New York Times", and many other publications across the globe.
Praise For…
"Powerful and essential reading for anyone trying to understand the modern world."–Minneapolis Star Tribune

The "Indefinite Discipline" of Competitiveness Benchmarking as a Neoliberal Technology of Government

Working on the assumption that ideas are embedded in socio-technical arrangements which actualize them, this essay sheds light on the way the Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC) achieves the Lisbon strategic goal: "to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world". Rather than framing the issue in utilitarian terms, it focuses attention on quantified indicators, comparable statistics and common targets resulting from the increasing practice of intergovernmental benchmarking, in order to tackle the following questions: how does the OMC go about co-ordinating Member States through the benchmarking of national policies? And to what extent does this managerial device impact the path of European construction? Beyond the ideological and discursive construction of the competitive imperative, this technology of government transforms it into an "indefinite discipline" (Foucault) which constantly urges decision-makers to hit the top of the charts. This contribution thus argues that the practice of intergovernmental benchmarking is far from being neutral in purpose and effect. On the contrary, it lays the foundation for building a "competitive Europe" which unites Member States through competition.

Re: What kind of car do you drive?
2006 Honda CR-V as of last Friday. I too prefer to be the second owner and also prefer to have known the first owner really well. Call me frugal, but I just can't stomach the depreciation of the first two years.
This one, purchased from a dear friend who wintered it in FL until I was ready to buy it. The last one a 2001 Mercury Sable purchased from my ex father-in-law. It gave me nearly five years of outstanding service and it's being sold to a friend's son as his "first" car.
He isn't real keen on having an "old man sedan." I think that is his mother's full intention. She's a smart woman.

Dr Jon Heron (course organiser), Prof Kate Tilling, Dr. Laura Howe, Dr. Liam Mahedy.
Three days
22-24 March 2016
This course provides an introduction to methods for analysing longitudinal/repeated continuous data, with a focus on methods for analysing individual trajectories over time. Multilevel modelling and structural equation modelling (SEM) approaches will be described and compared. Throughout the course there will be an emphasis on what kinds of research question different types of method can be used to explore and on the interpretation of results.
The course is intended for researchers who are, or will be, involved in analysing longitudinal data. Participants should be familiar with the algebra of standard regression models for continuous outcomes (to beyond the standard of the short course " Introduction to Linear and Logistic Regression Models", or to the level implied by module 3 of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling's online multilevel modelling course, which can be found at www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/learning/course.html).
The course will comprise a total of seventeen hours teaching, including introductory talks, lectures, worked examples and practical sessions using both Stata and Mplus software package. Approximately 40% of the course will be practical work.
We also recommend that participants refresh their knowledge of single-level models for continuous responses in advance of the workshop by reading the 'concepts' parts of Module 3 of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling's online multilevel modelling course (www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/learning/course.html). In particular, participants should ensure they are familiar with algebraic regression equations, and partitioning of variation (e.g. ANOVA).
Please note: This course is concerned with analysis of repeated measures. If you wish to learn about rates or survival analysis, please see the short course Rates and Survival Analysis. The course is also not about time-series models nor does it cover repeated binary/ordinal data.
For further information: please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bandeja paisa at Presto Latin Restaurant
Your gluttony will fall in love with this overwhelming platter of protein. A middling arepa is overshadowed by a huge hunk of avocado, a thick curl of fried pork, a thin piece of grilled beef, fat sausage, rice, fried plantain and, of course, a fried egg. Every creamy, greasy, meaty, sweet and salty craving satiated on one plate of food. $11.50 1157 Roswell Road, Marietta. 770-973-1280. www.prestorestaurant.com.
The beef rib at Fox Brother's Bar-B-Q
The Flintstones would be proud of this monstrous, nicely fatty beef short-rib. One poke with your fork and the beefy goodness falls off the bone. Each smoky shred of is a hefty heaven, especially when it's paired with a bowl of creamy and tangy coleslaw. Half rack: $11.94; whole rack: $22.95. 1238 DeKalb Ave. 404-577-4030. www.foxbrosbbq.com.
Chicken leg at Lunacy Black Market
This ain't your mama's chicken leg. It's a cleanly sculpted bone with a fat chunk of meat that's served in its juices, redolent of "cinnamon curry cardamom." You get slightly sweet and musky flavors, a bit peppery, a bit astringent. Like all dishes at this restaurant, it's a small plate and — don't question this — you do not want to share. Less than $4. 231 Mitchell St. 404-736-6164. www.lunacyblackmarket.com.
Chicken mole at Zocalo Taqueria
Mole sauce, to its lovers, is as controversial as barbecue is to its fanatics. All Mexican cooks have their own version. Zocalo's, the owners' own Mexican family recipe, has no equal in town. It's complex with nuts, chiles and countless other ingredients, including a bit of chocolate, and emits a mouth-watering fragrance. Zocalo serves it over a chicken breast. The sauce is frequently available in jars at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. $15. 187 10th St. 404-249-7576. www.zocalocreativemex.com.
Fesenjan stew at Falafel Café
The term bittersweet is often used to evoke beautiful melancholy, but at Falafel Café there is no sadness to the interplay between bitter walnuts and sweet pomegranate in the fesenjan stew. The dark brown sauce clings to chunks of chicken, and when ladled over the fluffy Persian rice, creates a sticky, sour, nutty mess that'll make you long for it like a lost lover. $7.99. 950 Cobb Parkway. 770-429-8999.
Fried chicken at Busy Bee Café
A crackly and simple breading coats each piece of uncomplicated fried chicken. Not a trace of grease in sight, every juicy, salty bite will fulfill your Southern-fried food dreams. $10.99. 810 Martin Luther King Drive. 404-525-9212. www.thebusybeecafe.com.
Fried chicken at the Colonnade
Some things must be eaten for the same reason certain movies must be seen — because they are classic. The Colonnade has been serving gigantic portions of batter-fried chicken since 1927. It's super-crispy, steaming-hot, juicy and served in a dining room full of gays and greys by servers with major mother complexes. $13. 1879 Cheshire Bridge Road. 404-874-5642. www.colonnadeatl.com.
Ginseng and chicken juk at BonJuk
Bits of chicken and a pungent piece of wild-looking fresh ginger dot a large bowl of mild, smooth rice porridge. The silky texture shimmies down your throat, and has the power to soothe the nastiest of colds with every sip. $10.95. 2645 N. Berkeley Lake Road, Duluth. 770-232-1944. www.bonjukatl.com.
Honey pig at Honey Pig
The sam-gyup-sal, or honey pig, cracks and sizzles on the hubcap-like grill and runs its piggy juices into the kimchee, garlic cloves, and other goodies provided at this upscale Korean barbecue joint. Some of the most tender, flavorful bacon you'll ever have, wrap it up in a cool lettuce leaf, pile on the kimchee, swipe through the salty, savory bean paste, and gobble your porcine self to contentment. $17.95. 3473 Old Norcross Road, Suite 304, Duluth. 770-476-9292. www.honeypigatl.com.
Mac and cheese with pot roast at Carver's Country Kitchen
Go ahead and unbutton your pants now. Fork-tender chunks of salty beef and soft carrots swim in a savory, beefy gravy that would make Gramma proud. A creamy side of Velveeta-rich mac and cheese is the stuff food comas are made of. $11.95. 1118 W. Marietta St. 404-794-4410. www.carverscountrykitchen.com.
Merguez sausage at Social
Honest, delicious food that reflects the Tunisian/French ancestry of Social's owners, this dish presents two merguez sausages, redolent of lamb and spices, over hearty, al dente lentils. Two meaty slices of grilled squash complete the dish, which feels like eating Mama's cooking if Mama were a way more cosmopolitan and interesting cook than she actually is. $19. 12 W. Peachtree St. 404-525-2246. www.socialintown.com.
Pollo dorado salvadoreño at Rincon Latino
Long crunchy curls of golden fried chicken look more like pork rinds than fowl. Pull apart the crunchy bits of chicken with your hands or, better yet, tuck a piece of the chicken into a thick fresh tortilla with a dollop of creamy refried beans for a taco that swings both ways (toward the South and Central America, that is). $9.99. 5055 Buford Highway, Doraville. 770-936-8181.
Rib-eye at Bones
Pure meat nirvana: blood, fat and tang come together in one hulking slab of flesh. Get it with some sweet and fluffy corn pudding and creamed spinach (which isn't on the menu, but they'll make it on request) and you'll feel the virile thrill of the manliest meal in town. $45. 3130 Piedmont Road. 404-237-2663. www.bonesrestaurant.com.
Spare ribs at Daddy D'z BBQ Joynt
A zillion barbecue joints have opened around town, but the spare ribs here remain unforgettable. Lean, tender, spicy and spotted with coveted bark, they have an antidepressant effect on the doleful blues often performed at the restaurant. $14.99 for a half slab. 264 Memorial Drive. 404-222-0206. www.daddydz.com.
Spicy fried chicken at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
If you're going to indulge in fast food, let this be it. The chicken is juicy and fried in a spicy-hot batter that turns into an uncommonly crispy exterior. If you want to avoid grease, stick to breasts and wings. Still, it is recommended that you do anything necessary to avoid learning the calorie content. Various prices. 683 Boulevard. 404-875-7070. www.popeyes.com.
Three little piggies at 4th & Swift
A study in porky contrasts, this revamped version of the restaurant's popular three-pigs dish offers a base of velvety grits, a centerpiece of pork loin, the sweet/sour combo of pickled grapes, bitter greens, and chicharrón "popcorn" that literally snaps, crackles and pops as it arrives in front of you. From salty to crunchy to creamy to bursts of juicy fruit, this is that rare entrée that's creative, accessible and stunningly delicious. 621 North Ave. 678-904-0160. www.4thandswift.com.

PASADENA (CBS)— NASA announced a major milestone in the quest for life in the universe Monday: The discovery of another planet close enough to Earth that it could support life.
The planet, dubbed Kepler-22b, has a radius 2.4 times that of Earth and is 600 light years away, according to NASA. It's the first planet confirmed to be in a "habitable zone," a region around a star where liquid water can exist.
In the case of Kepler-22b, its star is similar to the sun, though it is slightly smaller and cooler. It takes the planet 290 days to orbit the star, according to NASA.
"This is a major milestone on the road to finding Earth's twin," said Kepler program scientist Douglas Hudgins.
Astronomers don't yet know if Kepler-22b is predominantly a rocky planet, such as Earth, or made up mostly of gases or liquids.
Kepler-22b is the first planet confirmed to be in a habitable zone found by Kepler so far.

So maybe I have this all wrong, but I'm sure there is a way to do this, say I have a an
if statement, that I want to return
true if all the conditions in an array evaluate as true.
say I have this:
def real_visitor?(location, request, params)
valid_location = [
params['referrer'] == 'us',
params['bot'] != 'googlebot',
5 + 5 == 10
if valid_location
return true
return false
How would I evaluate each of the conditions in the array
valid_location, some of those conditions in that array are just pseudocode.

Strawberry plants are really hardy. You can still plant out strawberries now as there will be enough heat in the soil for them to root before the onset of winter, alternatively you could plant some up in a trough and over winter these in the GH for an early crop of forced strawberries in the spring. You might be taking a chance as they are new runners and get a low crop though but if you have alot of plants, nothing ventured nothing gained.
I'm impressed too. I like the use of the trellis to support plants
Cold and windy here today. The nights are begining to draw in it was going dark by the time I got home this evening.
Haven't had chance to get out in the garden for a few weeks now, hoping to give it a tidy up at the weekend and clear the GH.
Busy-Lizzie - there are seversal slots, my home computer is an old one and has a hard drive. Should really invest in a laptop for home use but use a laptop daily for work and have had problems with posture, bad back etc...
I've tried to load pics and will try again, but it's a tab bit late now and they aren't fabulous pictures which I took of Kew or Savill garden, I've only a digi camera.
Thanks for posting a picture Busy-Lizzie. I must learn how to do that, it might be a while though as I've also lost the connector wire from the camera to the computer.
The garden is set in about 35acres. The picture is the summer gardens. The scent in the rose garden was amazing. There's a spring wood, summer wood, bog garden, dry garden, an autumn wood and winter beds. The list goes on...You could visit at any time of the year and see something of interest.
First time to Windsor too, certainly worth a full weekend visit.
Leaves are easily collected anually were they fall. I collect bags of the stuff from the road side, there are several spots near me were residents are happy for you to bag leaves up.
Parks are great spots if you live near one, their boundaries often shed leaves onto the pavement and wind blows them into a corner.
There are no instant fixes, leaf mould does take time to decompose, 12 months as a mulch.
There 's a sculpture for the garden display at Savill Garden until 31st October.
Zoomer goes off to check her reviews - 1372 I don't think so...
Hi, I tried to post a message on 'the places visited this year' thread' but couldn't and got a message saying 'review or comment' required' I only wanted to say....
Visited Kew and Savill Garden this weekend.After hearing such a lot about them and being two very different gardens they are the first I've visited in this country which are on my must visit list .
Visiting both in the same weekend and visiting at this time of year probably didn't do Kew justice, the big GH/grow house was closed and the garden is on such a big scale. I like growing veg and many of these beds and displays had gone over although I was impressed with the size of stuff at Kew after visting Savill Garden I was a tab bit disappointed with Kew. Savill were replanting flower beds but Kew had veg stuff which was well past it's best.
Savill Garden didn't seem to realise it was autumn and it is so much more compact in respect to Kew. There was still loads in flower in the summer gardens, everything thing is labelled and I was able to identify stuff which grows in my garden but see heaps of diferent varieties. Savill projects a garden for all seasons .
There were no signs saying keep of the grass at either Kew or Savill Garden. I'd like to visit both again at a different time of year and would recommend a visit to either but my favourite was Savill Garden. Liked the hidden garden, I sat on a bench taking in the scene and all you could hear were nuts dropping from the oak tree's

All Rise...
Is the Sorcery Globe called the "Philosophy Globe" in England? Judge Mac McEntire wants to know.
The Charge
"Where are those ugly Dragons? Ashton Anchors, hero of the day! Those stupid beasts must have fled. Cowards. They didn't stand a chance. Huh? Is there some reason why you guys are staring at me?"
The Case
Picking up from where we left off at the end of Volume 1, headband-wearing space hero Claude C. Kenni is still stranded on the magical planet Expel, which has been overrun by monsters, thanks to a mysterious object called the Sorcery Globe. With an elf-like girl named Rena as his guide, Claude is off in search of this powerful artifact. Not only can the Sorcery Globe rid the world of all the monsters, but it might mean a way home for Claude. On their journey, Claude and Reni are joined by Celine, a powerful enchantress with a fear of bugs.
The bulk of this volume concerns our three heroes' newest ally Ashton, a bumbling swordsman who ends up with a two-headed dragon permanently fused onto his back. We get three episodes about the characters spelunking through an ancient tomb, fighting their way through traps and monsters, just to find a cure for Ashton's condition. After that, it's off to a harbor town for two episodes of encounters with pirates and ghost ships, and even some genuine character development for Rena and Claude.
These five episodes show a definite improvement over the first volume. The animation is bright and colorful, and the characters' movements are much more fluid and lively. Visual highlights include a ghost floating past Claude at night, the fight against the slug-like monsters in the tomb, and Celine relaxing in her hotel room. Like the first volume, there's still some freeze frames and repetition of shots, no doubt because of a low budget. But this time around, these shortcuts are used more sparingly, so they're not as distracting. Story-wise, this volume opens up more interesting and emotional plotlines, whereas the first one came across as nothing but non-stop monster fighting.
Unfortunately, the creators also introduce an element that has killed many a fantasy adventure epic: comic relief. Ashton spends a lot of time whining about being left behind, about not having any friends, about dragon heads growing out of his back, and anything else he can think to whine about. And every time he does this, it's accompanied by the same upbeat comedy music. This character could be exciting in a comic book superhero kind of way, but the creators are making him unlikable by playing him as a buffoon.
In keeping with the sharper look to the animation, the picture quality is just as sharp, with few visible errors. Like the first volume, the two 2.0 tracks are a highlight, bringing the action scenes to life loud and clear. When Jean the demon king first speaks with his deep voice, your bass will set the floor rumbling. Differences between the subtitles and the English dub are mostly negligible, except that the dub adds a few more little character touches. For example, take a look at the moment where Claude asks Celine, "May I ask you a question?" In the subtitles, she responds, "What is it?" But in the dub, she comes back with "Spill it, handsome." Purists might appreciate the more accurate translation, but the other adds a small insight to Celine's personality. Fortunately, both versions are available on the disc, so fans can choose whichever version they prefer. Extra features include three anime previews and four needless character profiles. You can also view the closing credit animation without text, or with the original Japanese text.
Lovers of sword-swinging, spell-casting fantasy adventures will enjoy this sophomore effort, especially if they've already struggled through the lackluster first volume. This reviewer is curious to see where the creators take the series from here.

At a campaign event in Lady Lakes, Florida, Governor Sarah Palin criticized Senator Barack Obama for - she says - telling his supporters to "argue" with those who have a different point of view, and "really get in their face".
"That isn't the politics of hope or change".
Palin contrasted Obama's statement with the response her running mate, Senator John McCain, had to some hecklers at a rally last week in Cedar Rapids. McCain said at the time - "One thing Americans want is for us to stop yelling at each other".
Palin was joined onstage by her husband Todd, her baby son Trig, and two of her three daughters, and at one point in the event she handed the microphone to her youngest daughter. She said Piper Palin wanted to thank Floridians for the opportunity to be there. Prior to the event, the Palins had been to Disney World.
