Texas Rep. Ron Paul won a straw poll at the Family Research Council's Values Voters Summit on October 8, receiving 37 percent of the vote at the social conservative convention. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins downplayed the results some, saying that 600 people registered Saturday morning left after Paul spoke. "I think people are still in the process of deciding where they want to go," Perkins told reporters. Herman Cain took 23 percent and former Sen. Rick Santorum took 16 percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won 8 percent while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney received 4 percent of the vote.
In his speech, Paul emphasized personal responsibility, using the example of Jesus' response to prostitution. "He didn't call for more laws. But he was very direct and thought that stoning was not the solution to the problem of prostitution," he told the crowd. "So do laws take care of these things, or do we need a better understanding of our Christian values and our moral principles?" In an interview withChristianity Today following his speech, Paul explained why he doesn't think the government can create morality.

The media is being unmasked for all the world to see by the little green map! Here's an update and you can see the landslide only growing. At some point you have to begin to question everything you hear on the main stream media when confronted with this kind of information.
Here is our original post several days ago.
Here is the updated green map via Topix.
NATIONAL VOTE (as of 08/18/11)
Paul 27047
Gingrich 5897
Cain 3202
Bachmann 2484
Romney 2393
Santorum 1042
Huntsman 432
Pawlenty 337
Dear Friend,
A great man was born 279 years ago.
George Washington was a freedom fighter, a leader, and one of our greatest Presidents. But, much of General Washington's greatness was marked not by what he did, but by what he chose not to do.
He could have been a King.
Instead, he stood for Liberty and stepped aside after eight years, allowing our young Republic to grow into the greatest nation in Human history.
2012 offers our movement a tremendous opportunity. Our nation is beset with crippling debt, an out of control federal government, and a foreign policy that weakens our national defense and isolates us from the world.
But with hard work and determination, we can change course and turn our country back toward Liberty and all of its rewards.
Quite frankly, we need to elect a President in 2012 who will do a lot less: less meddling in the economy, less spending, less warrantless ransacking, less bailing out of Wall Street, less inflating, and less foreign aid and overseas intervention.
We need a President who will respect our Constitution, not someone who simply pays lip service to our traditions.
Because I want a President who does so much less, a lot of people ask me if this means I want a weak President.
My answer is "No!" I want a strong President – a President like George Washington.
I want a President strong enough NOT to take power he should not have.
It is no secret that I am weighing my personal political options for 2012, and that I am relying on Liberty PAC to fund my efforts while I make important decisions.
Monday, February 21st, is Presidents' Day, which celebrates George Washington's birthday, and we hope to make it one to remember.
On Monday, Liberty PAC will host its first-ever Money Bomb. Please mark it on your calendar and consider contributing. If we all come together and pitch in, we can take our country back from the statists that are stealing our Liberty and shredding our Constitution.
The next few months will be critical to ensuring a successful political operation for the 2012 cycle. I hope you will join me by making this Presidents' Day, February 21st, truly special.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
So here we are, the red-headed stepkids in the GOP. The elected elite love our message (well, not the foreign policy part, which they intentionally downplayed) during the campaign season, but now that the election is over?
Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does.
(Be sure to click the link. Judd Gregg (RINO – NH) is apparently a banking stooge.)
Contact John Boehner:
(513)-779-5400 or (202)225-4000
Contact Eric Cantor:
(202) 225-2815 or (804) 747-4073
I can't begin to tell you how ticked I am about this. If the GOP followed their own rules, Ron Paul would be sliding into the seat that Barney Frank is leaving. (To get really technical, he should be sliding back into that seat, since it should have been his during the Bush years, too.) But like most of you, I was happy they were finally giving him a subcommittee. No point in complaining about that other thing, especially if Rep Paul wasn't making it an issue.

Southern Avenger @ The American Conservative
(aka Jack Hunter)
Republican politicians who tout their American Conservative Union rating do so to distract from their big government record and are citing a ranking system that essentially means nothing.
[editorial commnent: Southern Avenger just keeps getting better and better! we ♥ you Jack Hunter!]
For the Win in 2010 Series Note: This is the first in a series of endorsements to be released by Oklahoma R3s. It is worth noting that many people working to restore the republic have been involved in all phases of the primary season and are working hard to elect people with constitutional limited government principles, so in one sense this is a formal way of letting everyone know who we have been helping and working with this season.
Press Release for Immediate Release
Subject: Oklahoma R3publicans Endorse Howard Houchen for Congress in CD02
Oklahoma R3publicans are working to restore the republic in the Republican party in Oklahoma. Our state is one of the "reddest" in the nation and we are pleased to be a part of that dynamic. R3s are grassroots, philosophically constitutional people of principle actively working to inspire Republicans to positive action. We believe that powers not expressly delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states and to the people. Our efforts across Oklahoma are focused on limited constitutional government.
In Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District, Howard Houchen rose up early to call out Dan Boren for his bailout vote in public venues [video link here]. For many months, Howard has been traveling his widespread district and beyond, spreading the message of limited, Constitutional government. His commitment to reaching out to young and old, R's and D's, conservative and liberal, proves he would make a conscientious representative in Congress. In addition to his winning approach to working with people, he is a dynamic speaker, and more importantly, thoughtful and well-read on the issues. Howard's work ethic and thorough approach to research provide him with important skills necessary to be a measured legislator. He will serve District 2 well.
Sandra Crosnoe said on behalf or OKR3s, "We are pleased to extend our Oklahoma R3publican endorsement to Mr. Howard Houchen for Congress and pray for him to have great favor from the people and from our Heavenly Father. As Howard does his part so must we do ours for the win in 2010!"
Howard Houchen's website contains additional information on issues and events. He can be contacted via email to houchen2010[at]gmail[dot]com.
Sandra Crosnoe serves on the policy board for R3publicans and can be reached via email to sandiec99[at]hotmail[dot]com. Oklahoma R3publicans participate with other groups in Oklahoma to provide timely information via OKgrassroots online.
This week in Oklahoma candidates filed for primary slots for an election that will occur on July 27th. R3publicans have been working with many candidates for months now; working to restore the GOP to limited government, constitutional principles of a day gone by and sorely needed again. With filing past and the goal post just up ahead, it seems appropriate to profile some of the folks you will have an opportunity to help in the next few weeks (many of you are already doing so!).
Here are their banners with links to their websites and excerpts from their press releases this week:
Senator Randy Brogdon for Governor
Brogdon will forgo a third term in the Senate in his quest to become the next Governor.
Brogdon says his determination to reduce the size of government sets him apart from his rivals in both parties, "I am the only candidate who is truly interested in smaller government," said Brogdon. "I won't be proposing very many task forces or conferences, I am proposing solutions to Oklahomans."
A top priority in a Brogdon Administration will be setting Oklahoma, on what Brogdon calls, "a sustainable growth cycle. If we would prevent government from growing three or four times faster than the economy we wouldn't go through these harsh budget cuts every four or five years."
"The budget process should be about setting priorities and planning for the future," said Brogdon. "As Governor I will not let it become a race to spend all the money on bigger government."
Brogdon believes Oklahoma needs a new tax structure, along with new limits on spending. "Our current income tax system taxes earnings and discourages achievement, we should tax consumption, not savings or reinvestment," said Brogdon. He proposes an end user tax on sales and services. "However, groceries and prescription drugs would be exempt from any tax and fuel taxes would remain at current level, and other steps, to limit any impact on lower or fixed income households."
Nathan Dahm for Congress CD01
Nathan Dahm, a former missionary and current resident of Broken Arrow, has filed to run for Oklahoma's 1st Congressional seat, currently held by John Sullivan. When asked by reporters why he would challenge a sitting Republican, Dahm replied: "I know Reagan's 11th commandment was 'speak no ill of your fellow Republicans', but you can't be a Republican and be for big government. John Sullivan voted for the TARP bankers bailout which cost the taxpayers seven hundred billion dollars. That is not small government, it is not Constitutional, and it is not Republican."
Dahm has been a grassroots activist for several years and is a Teaparty candidate, both of which have helped propel his ground campaign, winning him the Bixby straw poll by 15% with Dahm capturing 47% to Sullivan's 32%. He also recently launched what his campaign is calling his "Oath to Oklahoma", which is a list of pledges including: are a self-imposed term-limit of 6 years, defense of the right to keep arms, repealing of the 16th amendment income tax, and a commitment to enlist in the military upon his vote to go to war.
When asked what separates him from Sullivan, Dahm said: "I am a fighter and I will stand up for the people and have their voice heard in Washington D.C. I will not cower down, keep silent, or vote in violation of the Constitution. I will truly represent the people and serve them whole heartedly."
Howard Houchen for Congress CD02
"A lot of thought went into this," Houchen said. "I am not a career politician and going up against a third-generation politician is, at first, a daunting proposition. But the more I looked beyond Boren's rhetoric and looked at his actual voting record, it is clear that he is no longer representing the constituents who elected him. While he comes home and complains about the liberal direction of Washington, he personally facilitates that liberal agenda by voting not once, but three times for Nancy Pelosi to become the third most powerful person in the country. When important debates have occurred this year on the floor of the House, such as with Cap & Trade and the Health Overhaul Bill, Boren sat silently in the Chamber for hours, refusing to come to the microphone in front of Pelosi to speak out on the record in defense of our state and citizens. Now he admits he does not want the bad law passed to be overturned and proposals to actually improve healthcare to be introduced."
Houchen continues, "With no true representative of the people for District 2, I feel I must, as someone who understands the Constitution and its clear directives on personal liberty, state sovereignty, and specific limits to federal government's intrusion on the lives of citizens, run for office to help put a stop to the massive central-planning power grab taking place in Washington. Boren has been an active voter in support of big government spending in the face of burgeoning deficits that will cause crippling tax burdens on both this and future generations. Boren touts his fiscal conservatism and claims he is a 'blue dog', but his actions on spending bills show clearly his belief that the DC bureaucracy should extend into every aspect of our lives, and that more of our dollars should leave Oklahoma to fund government's growth. He has forgotten the farmers, the ranchers, the doctors, the oilmen, the small business owners who elected him in District 2 to represent our conservative Oklahoma values, and to protect the state's rights and freedom that Oklahomans hold dear."
RJ Harris for Congress CD04
Witnessing such events as the economic melt-down of September 2008 and the response of elected officials such as Congressional District 4's current representative, Tom Cole, motivated Harris to enter the race. "Tom Cole showed the people of Oklahoma that he can't be trusted to make the right decisions under pressure," notes Harris.
Candidate Harris believes his long experience as an air-traffic control chief, especially in active combat, provides him with the skills necessary to make tough decisions. Coupled with his understanding of the proper role of government and straight forward approach to communicating with voters, Harris believes his message will resonate.
This Friday night there will be a forum, open to registered Cleveland County Republican voters which includes a straw poll.
Mark Costello for Labor Commissioner
Costello heads USA Digital Communications, a technology based company he founded in 1998 and licensed as a common carrier in over 40 states."The current state of the Oklahoma economy calls for sound business decisions. I have started and ran several successful businesses over the last two decades. I want to bring my successful common sense business approach to address problems of state government," said Costello.
"The office of Labor Commissioner is the one elected state office that has a legal responsibility to promote job creation. Under state law, one of the duties of the Commissioner of Labor is to 'advance opportunities of wage earners for profitable employment,'" stated Costello.
"According to a recent newspaper report, jobs are the number one issue for most of the candidates for governor. The level of unemployment is unacceptable. As Oklahoma's next Labor Commissioner, I will apply my business knowledge to advance meaningful reforms that foster and promote private sector job creation in Oklahoma," stated Costello.

Name of the Month - Adam
By: Jeff A. Benner
We are all familiar with the name "Adam" as found in the book of Genesis, but what does it really mean? Let us begin by looking at its roots. This word/name is a child root derived from the parent דם meaning, "blood". By placing the letter א in front of the parent root, the child rootאד ם is formed and is related in meaning to דם (blood).
By examing a few other words derived from the child root אד 01; we can see a common meaning in them all. The Hebrew word אד 02;ה (adamah) is the feminine form of אד 01; meaning "ground" (see Genesis 2:7). The word/name אד 93;ם (Edom) means "red". Each of these words have the common meaning of "red". Dam is the "red" blood, adamah is the "red" ground, edom is the color "red" and adam is the "red" man. There is one other connection between "adam" and "adamah" as seen in Genesis 2:7 which states that "the adam" was formed out of the "adamah".
In the ancient Hebrew world, a persons name was not simply an identifier but descriptive of one's character. As Adam was formed out of the ground, his name identifies his origins.

The only reason the US is still in Afghanistan is because everyone knows that once the US leaves no woman in Afghanistan will be safe from beatings, rape, and "honor" killings, and no girl will be able to get an education. It may well be true that the men of Afghanistan want the US to leave, but the women are praying that never happens.

How can you explain that majority of crimes there, are commited by your militaries?
Stop to talk nonsenses. Do you respect your women in USA? I think that they are innocent victims of their brutal men. And domestic violance is very often issue in USA. Women from USA are very oft beaten, raped, maltreated or even killed by their husbands. Respect women' rights firstly in your country.
Afghans want to live in free country and they don't give up. And your invasion, your violations of their rights and other atrocities commited by US politicians and their military servants are danger independence, freedom and human rights in Afghanistan. You must leave this Afghanistan, get out. You will be never tolerated there. This war is waste of money, which could be spent for proper goals.
It is easy way to change it. To come back to normality, to end these criminal, illegal wars, genocide and crime against humanity. 1. Elect normal president, who is sane, it is Ron Paul and he will change everything for better. He will restore peace and he will give money of US society,where it is needed- it means on needs of US society ( retired, middle class, aid for victims of natural disasters, honest health care ) It is such easy way to change everything.

One of many reasons that has little to do with why the U.S. is still in Afghanistan is the welfare of Afghan women. Ask women of Afghanistan. Some have made public statements of remarkable clarity that, for some reason, get no attention in our mainstream corporate press. Here's a statement by Afghan women's group from 2007:
#13 Apr 15, 2012
"U.S. and Taliban fight for key Afghan highway"
Come on Talis! Push 'em back, push 'em back, w-a-a-a-a-y back!
Here's some good advice, Tali Baby! Mount a trafic light at every 5 km interval of the highway. You won't have to wait more than a couple of hours and the Yankee Boys will be blasting each another to hell in fits of road rage! Give it a week and you'll have Afghanistan all to yourselves!

Matteo Inches: House in Switzerland
Swiss architect Matteo Inches recently completed the renovation of an old farm in the heart of the "nucleo", the historic center of a small town in southern Switzerland. Without changing the position of the windows and the existing roof, in accordance with local planning regulations, he transformed the old building into a home in the newly freed space, with concrete floors and white walls.
On this project, says Matteo Inches:
"The house was an old farm storage, Then residence for a poor family and 6 person Recently, only at level 0, the meeting place for the main political party in town.
The project deals with the strict swiss Laws That do not allow to Modify Existing openings and roof structure of the building on the outside.
The project wants to take out though The Most out of the 6 x 6 meters of the interior spaces and to underline the massive structure of the thick old walls of the Existing Building.
Finally, i believe renovations of Existing Building is forced to answer to the Increasing urban sprawl and waste of land in the italian hand of Switzerland. "

Research Institution:
AbstractThis proposal will demonstrate a composite material containing aligned carbon nanotubes with thermal conductivity far in excess of traditional copper or aluminum. A unique process for fabricating the aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) into to a very highlyloaded CNT porous composite will be demonstrated in Phase I. Limited thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer experiments will be performed to demonstrate the improvements. The aligned Carbon Nanotube Composite (CNC) will be fabricated into anair-cooled heat sink and demonstrated. In addition to the potential for a thermal conductivity that approaches graphite (6600 W/mK, compared to 390 W/mK for copper), the CNC heat sink is ideal for direct chemical bonding to solid-state electronic devices,thereby eliminating interfacial thermal resistance. This extremely high thermal conductivity material is ideal as a heat-spreading device, which can ultimately be fabricated into air-cooled heat sinks and chemically bonded directly to GaN components aswell as other high energy density electronics. Phase I will demonstrate a high thermal conductivity composite heat sink composed of aligned carbon nanotubes with enhanced thermal conductivity, enhanced convective heat transfer, and improved interfacethermal conductance. Phase I will include manufacturing techniques, design specifications, experimental data and cost analysis.This effort will experimentally demonstrate the performance of a thermally conductive material that can be fabricated into air cooled heat sinks and related thermal devices to provide a heat flux capability that far exceeds traditional copper or aluminummaterials. The proposed material would be applicable to all types of air-cooled heat sinks. In addition to the MDA applications, other potential applications include commercial or military electronics cooling (high-power electronics, supercomputers,electronic switchgear, and avionics). Mainstream has performed a commercialization study and the commercial potential is tremendous. A commercialization partner has been secured as well as Phase II matching funds.

I am coding an iPhone app using Xcode 4.2.
My iPhone development provisioning profile expired. When I try to build and run my app on my iPhone, I get a message saying: Code Sign error: "Provisioning profile '(expired provisioning profile number)' can't be found"
I went to the iOS developer provisioning portal, renewed the provisioning profile, and downloaded it.
In Xcode I opened up the Organizer window. I deleted the expired provisioning profile, and added the renewed provisioning profile. (They both have the same name).
In my project Build Settings, under Code Signing Identity, I set the provisioning profile to the name that I want (which is the same as the expired profile name) and try to build, and I get the same error message, with the expired provisioning profile number. I can't find the renewed provisioning profile in the list that pops up when I click on the Code Signing Identity table cells in the Build Settings.
How do I set the Code Signing Identity to the Provisioning Profile that I want?

Of Celestial Beings, Sly Foxes and Weehawken
Project Europa: Imagining The (Im)Possible
Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery
Columbia University
Schermerhorn Hall, 8th floor
1190 Amsterdam Ave.
(212) 854-7288, through March 26
This multimedia exhibition brings together 19 contemporary artists whose works address the conflicts, contradictions and sociopolitical reverberations evident since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the World Trade Center towers, the unification of Europe and the rise of globalization.
The most engaging piece here is Dutch artist Aernout Mik's two-screen video "Raw Footage" (2006). Utilizing archival television news footage of the Yugoslavian war (film deemed insufficiently dramatic for broadcast), it juxtaposes soldiers and civilians—fighting, farming, playing—going about the humdrum tasks of life during wartime. But most of the artworks are oversold with curatorial hyperbole.
Francis Alÿs, in the 18-minute video "The Nightwatch" (2004), uses surveillance cameras to track a fox as it runs free through London's otherwise vacant National Portrait Gallery. "Nightwatch" supposedly critiques "nationalism, the politics of inclusion and exclusion, and the climate of xenophobia and fear." Yet it comes off as trite and, as I witnessed the fox rub up against one of the paintings, irresponsible.
The Danish art collective Superflex, in the 11-minute film "Burning Car" (2008), set a Mercedes-Benz on fire and let it burn. The Mercedes is a symbol for "the civil unrest and profound racism that plague contemporary Western Europe" and "the brutal excesses and inequities of global capitalism." What a waste of what appears to be a perfectly good automobile (purchased, by the way, through Superflex's success as global capitalists).
Politics, social strife and revolutions have inspired great art. In light of current events—the riots, revolts and political upheaval in Egypt and Tunisia—one would assume that "Project Europa" would strike a topical nerve. But most of the artists here do little more than document, comment on, refer to or ironically nod to, rather than explore, serious issues. Like many recent politically themed exhibitions, this show's roundup of the usual suspects' conceptually based and visually uninteresting artworks amounts not to a relevant, challenging and stimulating show but, rather, merely more of the same.
Stargazers: Elizabeth Catlett In Conversation With 21 Contemporary Artists
Bronx Museum
1040 Grand Concourse
Bronx, N.Y.
(718) 681-6000, through May 29
"Stargazers" is the first exhibition to frame African-American sculptor and printmaker Elizabeth Catlett (b. 1915) within the context of other contemporary black artists. Ms. Catlett, who studied with Grant Wood, has lived in Mexico since the late 1940s; she worked alongside Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Among black artists, she has long been considered a pioneering matriarch.
Her subjects include politics, racial equality, spirituality, parenthood, women and family. Her influences include Henry Moore, Elie Nadelman and African art. The figures and themes of Ms. Catlett's works—in bronze, wood, ceramic and marble, as well as most printmaking mediums—can be illustrative, embellished and overstylized (a homespun Modernism), but her tenderness and directness toward her subjects, and her unaffected voice and heartfelt message, are easy to warm up to. This show pairs her work with that of contemporary-art stars much more famous than Ms. Catlett. But there is no question who is the star and who are the stargazers.
John Marin: The Weehawken Sequence
Meredith Ward Fine Art
44 E. 74th St., Ste. 1
(212) 744-7306, through March 12
The American painter John Marin (1870-1953) spent 1905-10 in Europe, mainly Paris, before returning to his hometown of Weehawken, N.J. He claimed not to have seen much art in Europe (according to the artist, he spent more time in billiard halls than galleries and museums). But whether through osmosis or direct contact with the Fauves André Derain, Raoul Dufy, Albert Marquet and Henri Matisse, something astonishing happened—a transformation beautifully palpable in this show's 32 small oils (each roughly 9 inches by 12 inches and painted c. 1910-16) from the series of some 100 paintings known as the "Weehawken Sequence."
Mr. Marin, who painted New York and the Maine coastline, is known primarily as a very good perceptual watercolorist, influenced equally by James McNeill Whistler and the fractured space of Analytical Cubism. His art represents a European-influenced though keenly American vision. But in this series, in which he works almost against the medium of oil—heightening color, pushing it like watercolor—he is resoundingly French. These American-Fauvist paintings of trees, docks, railroad yards, the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River, economical and precise in both color and attack, are among the freshest, liveliest works of his career.
—Mr. Esplund writes about art for the Journal.

I downloaded and installed and activated your plugin but cannot find any useful documentation for it. All i see is some CSS code, and an instruction to put it in a post. I do that and i get nothing. What I really need is a simple step by step, "getting started" kind of explanation of how to use it. You know, the basics?
is that to be found anywhere?

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia prosecutors will retry an ousted priest on an attempted rape charge after a jury deadlock.
The Rev. James Brennan says the decision reopens wounds that were starting to heal. The 49-year-old Brennan is accused of trying to rape a teenage boy in 1996. Brennan has admitted in a church trial that he slept with him and let him watch porn, but he denies molesting him.
Brennan's lawyer says 11 of 12 jurors wanted to acquit his client last month. Brennan had been on trial with Monsignor William Lynn and is no longer in ministry.
Lynn awaits sentencing Tuesday after being convicted of felony child endangerment for his handling of abuse claims.

@1) Jailing people for homosexuality--because nothing gay ever happens in prisons...
With the hi-five, jail becomes your Disneyland.
Oh, the debauchery!
Don't pay too much attention to your sons, because then they'll turn out gay. But don't pay too little attention to your sons, because then they'll turn out gay. How's a mother supposed to catch a break?
How I feel about yoooooooou!
Yeah, send the gay men with AIDS to prison, that's safe.
Prisons being a major vector for the spread of HIV, what with the prison rape and all.
So, is this saying that, if the child turned out to be gay AND hypermasculine (like one of those testosterone-fueled Tom of Norway images), then that would be okay in their eyes?
This is all very confusing - good thing none of it was ever proven to be true, I guess.
Poor Dr. Bieber - must have come as an awful blow to find out his theories were bunk.
if my mom ever read that, I think her head would explode. I'd be willing to bet she is already blames herself for "the wayI turned out."
Also, thank dog I don't live in Egypt. I'd be charged with debauchery in a heartbeat.
Why's it always gotta be like that? Ha!
WTF is a Tar Heel?
Wasn't it GW who lengthened the military tours from 12 to 15 months in the first place? Most news stories I've seen don't mention that. They go along with the charade that GW is shortening tours, when in fact the tours are the same length as before. It's similar to suspending troop reductions, leaving the troop levels exactly where they were two years ago, before the "surge". It's the illusion of change.
A Haiku:
Dear Mama, I'm gay.
But that is OK because
it is all your fault.
Overprotective mothers? What a crock of fucking shit!! My mother stood by and watched while my step father beat the shit out me from the time I was 6 years old and I turned out to be gay. Overprotective my ass!!!
hey cato, he covered all the bases: "In other cases he may be underprotected and rejected." so there. oh, and did your mom pluck her eyebrows? that might have had something to do with making you gay too.
I wonder if they had a special chapter on "raising a lesbian" or if lesbians just "didn't exist" back then?
@17) An excerpt from the chapter on lesbianism was up yesterday. According Mr. and Mrs. Wyden's very scientific book, lesbians are the product of puritanical moms and bullying dads. Nothing else. But there are fewer lesbians because they stay in the closet or something.
I like Spoogie!
Haha, thanks for the link.
"Is lesbianism really much less common than male homosexuality? The best evidence suggests that it is."
I'm sure this all footnoted with the very scientific studies in the bibliography, and so forth.
Thanks for the link. Yes, some very interesting scientific theories there.
oops. I thought my first post was accidentally posting to yesterday's post, then I got rid of it, or so I thought - this is confusing :)

- Can I volunteer at Seattle Interactive?
If you are interested in volunteering for this year's event, email us at: email@example.com. We will follow up directly with you by August 15th if you've been accepted or if we have any questions. Please do not follow up with us directly about proposal status, as we will keep you informed.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Seattle Interactive Conference. Volunteers are an important part of SIC and ensure a smooth and organized event. Thanks for your interest in SIC and we look forward to seeing you October 18-19!
- Are the sessions recorded and available to watch after the conference?
We do not record the sessions but will have the presentations available on our Slideshare account at: http://www.slideshare.net/seattleinteractive
- I would like to attend the conference one day and give my pass to another co-worker on the other day. Is this kosher with you guys?
We know that everyone is busy and sometimes can't be out of the office for two days. We don't mind badge swaps as long as you don't mind having someone else's name on your badge.
- I'm attending Seattle Interactive from overseas. How to I obtain an Invitation / Visa Letter?
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your full name, gender, and country embassy info and we will send you a PDF with your invitation letter.
- I purchased my ticket but didn't get an email confirmation or receipt yet.
You should receive an email confirmation receipt from email@example.com immediately after your transaction is completed. If you do not see the email in your inbox then be sure to check your spam folder in case it got flagged as spam.
- Where is the best place to park at The Conference Center?
There are plenty of parking garages around The Conference Center. Learn more about the event parking information from the WSCC Website. The Main Entrance is on 8th Avenue, between Pike & Seneca Streets.
- I want to speak or would like to submit a proposal on behalf of a friend/co-worker. Is there still time?
Yes. You can submit your speaker requests through our call for speakers form. We will follow up directly with you by August 10th if you've been accepted or if we have any questions. Please do not follow up with us directly about proposal status, as we will keep you informed.
- How do I motivate my boss to let me go to this conference?
Beg! In the likely event that begging doesn't work, use a bunch of marketing slang and acronyms like "The top interactive thought leaders will be here talking about [insert acronym] and how the landscape is evolving at a fast pace and we can't be left out of these conversations." Also, let them know that all of their competitors are going. That should do the job.
In all seriousness, SIC brings Seattle a world-class technology and digital media event to call our own. Your boss and your company will benefit from the things you'll learn and the connections you can make — and you don't have to book travel and hotel for places like New York, San Francisco, or Austin for SIC! In short, it's a great investment.
- How do I know that the content will be relevant to me?
If you work at all in a company that has a website, app or idea then we'll have some special sauce for you to bring back to your office and maybe even make you look like a savior or rock star. We promise and if we don't deliver on our promise to provide rich, engaging and educational content then you can bash us on Twitter with the hashtag #SICSucked and we'll make it better the next year. Also, you still have time to tell us what you want to see, using the hashtag #SICwishlist
- If I am a Government employee or Faculty at a University do I qualify for your Student/non-profit discounted ticket?
Yes. We love our government employees and teachers and know that both are always budget challenged. Just be sure to use your .org, .mil, .gov and .edu email addresses respectively when you register.
- Can I bring a friend to the Official SIC:// After Party?
Unfortunately the After Party is reserved for attendees, sponsors, and speakers of the conference. A conference badge will be required for entry.

 There has been many performance enhancements introduced in the upcoming release of JXTA for JSE 2.5, which I will try to cover in a series of blogs detailing the enhancements and the expected benefits. Starting with the most recent, the propagated pipe. To give a little background on how propagated pipes work, a propagated pipe utilizes a pipe service named WirePipe which deals with duplicate message filtering and TTL on the network. The WirePipe service then relies on the rendezvous service for network topology and message distribution. A less frequently publicized feature of propagated pipes, is the ability to specify a set of recipients, which eventually end up as individual messengers (1-1 connections) to recipients. The performance enhancement was introduced as a new class, BlockingWireOuputPipe, in 2.5, which is automatically constructed when the specified set of nodes contains a singleton. BlockingWireOuputPipe then binds directly the destinations propagated pipe endpoint bypassing two layers of indirection (WirePipe and the RendezvousService), thus eliminating two message elements (wire, and propagation header), resulting in smaller message overhead, and faster delivery, also since it is bound directly to the endpoint, it provides reliable feedback on message delivery.

It is highly recommended that such object is cached and reused, for an example, see the PropagatedPipeServer tutorial.

A programmatic interface to JXTA configuration hamada 2006-06-24T12:51:51+00:00 2006-08-28T22:44:53+00:00 If you are familiar with JXTA configuration, you will surely appreciate the new bug fixes, and features added to the latest JXTA platform release (2.4).

The latest release included significant fixes and features to deal with node configuration:

ext:config included several bug fixes, and improved stability, it also included additional configuration profiles.

A programmatic interface to node configuration (see NetworkConfigurator), by design, NetworkConfigurator is a JavaBean, allowing for declarative configuration deployment (see jxta-spring).

 In addition NetworkConfigurator exposes API's (see load(uri), getPlatformConfig(), etc.), which would facilitate secure network based deployment services, as well as automate certificate, ID, and rendezvous/relay seed provisioning.

 Special thanks to the community members who contributed and helped drive these new API's (especially vwilliams, ae6rt, bondolo, fdimglio, ibirrer)

  Network Based Configuration Provisioning

 NetworkConfigurator config = new NetworkConfigurator();
 if (!config.exists()) {
 // Create a new configuration with a new name, principal, and pass
 config.setName("New Name");
 config.setPrincipal("username");
 config.setPassword("password");
 try {
 //persist it
 config.save();
 } catch (IOException io) {
 // deal with the io error
 }
 } else {
 // Load the pre-existing configuration
 File pc = new File(config.getHome(), "PlatformConfig");
 try {
 config.load(pc.toURI());
 // make changes if so desired
 ..
 ..
 // store the PlatformConfig under the default home
 config.save();
 } catch (CertificateException ce) {
 // In case the root cert is invalid, this creates a new one
 try {
 //principal
 config.setPrincipal("principal");
 //password to encrypt private key with
 config.setPassword("password");
 config.save();
 } catch (Exception e) {

 If you have wondered about JxtaSocket performance vs. Java Socket then this maybe of interest. I have always wondered about how JxtaSockets stack up to Java Sockets (there has some research done on this topic, but it's not the same unless you can see for yourself). So, I have decided to write a benchmark comparing the two. The benchmark included two machines connected through a 100Mbit switch, and JSE5.0. Each benchmark run included a data transfer of 65MB, which was repeated 3 times. The chart shows the lowest and highest rates measured. You should also note, that the transfer unit size, and the VM min heap size had an effect on both benchmarks.JxtaSocket vs. Java Socket Benchmarks.

Peer emulation, and load generation hamada 2005-08-30T15:20:00+00:00 2006-12-13T22:41:58+00:00 JxtaSink and companion utilities are some of the least publicized tools available underneath the JXTA platform hood, however don't underestimate their power. JxtaSink emulates the JXTA endpoint protocol, and provides API for message callback, or it can act as a message drain. Such features are beneficial when trying simulate a network of 1000's nodes on a single machine, and in determining breaking, or tuning points. Using JxtaSink requires knowledge of the JXTA protocols and behavior. One test developed which makes use of these utilities is the RendezvousLoad. RendezvousLoad emulates the rendezvous connection protocol and can scale to 1000's peers (on certain platforms). This load test was beneficial in exposing unforeseen OS limitation, as well as bottlenecks. Similar load tests can be written using the forementioned utilities, provided good understanding of protocol of interest. JxtaSink resides in the platform project under platform/binding/java/test/src/net/jxta/test/util

 https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/pipes_jxtabidipipes_and_jxtasockets Demystifying Pipes, JxtaSockets, JxtaMulticastSocket, and JxtaBiDiPipes hamada 2005-08-24T17:00:00+00:00 2005-08-25T06:47:32+00:00 Lately there has been several inquiries about JXTA's PipeService, and companion utilities (JxtaSocket, JxtaMulticastSocket, and JxtaBiDiPipe) on JXTA's discussion lists, hence this blog to shed more light on the PipeService and utilities provided, and their inherit features.
 The initial goal of the PipeService was to provide primitive (unidirectional, and unreliable) message based communication channels upon which complex and sophisticated communication channels can be built. The PipeService provides three types of pipes described as follows:
 JxtaUnicast

Unidirectional
Unreliable
Many to one
Limited to 64KB messages

 JxtaUnicastSecure

Unidirectional
Limited reliability (no direct notification of failures other than channel failure)
Many to one
Limited to 64KB messages

 JxtaPropagate

Multidirectional (many to many)
Unreliable
Limited to 64KB messages in infrastructure mode, and limited by physical transport limitation where applicable

  JXTA JSE platform software stack

 Unicast pipes (clear, and secure) are bound by the PipeResolver, which provides two modes of bindings, a static (where a set of peers is specified), and a dynamic (no peers specified) binding. Static binding is beneficial in constraining communication to a limited set of peers, while dynamic is beneficial in implementing unconstrained mobile communication channels. Both modes can be utilized in implementing fault tolerant communication channels.
 Propagated pipes employ a mechanism similar to that of IGMP, where a creation of an input pipe results in propagated pipe channel join message (a pipe SRDI message to a the peer's rendezvous). In infrastructure mode propagated pipe messages are sent to the rendezvous for propagation to the subscribers of the propagated pipe channel, while in ad-hoc mode messages are propagated over the endpoint (currently only the TCP transport supports such function over multicast). A pipe closure results in a channel resign message (a pipe SRDI message to the rendezvous expiring the previous join). It's worth noting that the PipeResolver plays no part in binding of such pipe type
 Pipe Binding An InputPipe creation results in the creation of an endpoint incoming messenger, and an SRDI message with the pipe ID with an infinite expiration time. Once the InputPipe is closed another SRDI message is emitted with the pipe ID, and expiration time of 0, invalidating any reference for the pipe and peer. note: This behavior applies to all pipe types. An output pipe creation results in a PipeResolver query message emitted querying for instances of the pipe. A match results in a PipeResolver response to the querying peer, where an endpoint messenger to responding peer is created. Note that such messenger may not be fully resolved until the EndpointRouter has determined a valid route. During such event few messages maybe queued (3 to be exact) until the messenger has been resolved. In addition, as part of the pipe resolver protocol the pipe resolver periodically reattempts pipe resolutions in the background to validate resolved pipe endpoints. It is through this mechanisms pipes can migrate from one peer to another. note: this behavior is limited to unicast pipe types.
  SRDI message path within the JXTA network

 Pipe Endpoint A pipe endpoint is composed of a peer, group, and pipe ID, through this definition there are two inherit modes of pipe endpoint migration:

Peer endpoint migration, an inherit feature of the Endpoint-Router, where a peer may change physical, or virtual addresses.
Pipe endpoint migration, where a pipe endpoint ceases to exists on a peer, where the PipeResolver, attempts to rebind to the pipe (which I always refer to as a virtual channel)
 The first mode is transparent the application, while the second may result in an IOException. Reliability A standalone message and stream based reliability layer over non reliable messengers, is provided in the platform to facilitate reliable communication channels. Reliability Library

Ensures message sequencing
Interfaces to pipes or messengers
Ensures delivery
Exposes message, and stream interfaces
Spawns a single thread to deal with retransmission
Does not ensure message integrity

 Bidirectional communication channels JxtaServerSocket, and JxtaServerPipe expose a input pipe to process connection requests and negotiate communication parameters, whereby a JxtaSocket, or JxtaBiDipipe bind to respectively to establish private dedicated pipes independent of the connection request pipe. JxtaSocket, and JxtaBiDiPipe utilize a messenger instead of an output pipe for the back channel to reduce connection latency (avoids 4 messages), therefore only peer endpoint migration is inherited, and one should always expect an IOException if a PipeEndpoint migrates, or ceases to exist.
 JxtaSocket, JxtaServerSocket

Subclass java.net.Socket, and java.net.ServerSocket respectively
Built on top of pipes, endpoint messengers, and the reliability library
Provides bidirectional and reliable communication channels
Exposes stream based interface a la Socket
Provides configurable internal buffering, and message chunking
Does not implement the Nagels algorithm, therefore streams must be flushed as needed (a common oversight when wrapping object and data streams over the socket stream)
 JxtaBiDiPipe, JxtaServerPipe

Built on top of pipes, endpoint messengers, and the reliability library
Provides bidirectional and reliable communication channels
Exposes message based interface
Requires no heart beat to maintain an open connection
Provides no message chunking

 Multidirectional communication utility JxtaMulticastSocket extends java.net.MutlicastSocket and provides mutlicast functionality over JXTA propagated pipes. JxtaMulticastSocket

Subclass java.net.MulticastSocket
Built on top of propagated pipes
Exposes datagram based interface a la MulticastSocket
Provides unicasting through datagram addressing
 Message size and limiting factors

The JXTA platform imposes a soft MTU of 64KB (which becomes a hard limit under load), messages exceeding MTU are simply dropped. While nodes maybe able to transmit and receive messages larger than 64KB, it is strongly advised this limit is not exceeded in reliable mode, as it will result in failed or broken channels.
When utilizing relay peers, such limit must not be exceeded in either mode (reliable or otherwise) as the relay nodes are likely to be loaded and/or the fairness message queue size quotas are enforced, thus leading to message loss and consequently failed or broken channels.
 Common pitfalls

Pipe advertisement mismatch. Typically occurs when dynamically creating and discovering pipe advertisements using non unique identifiers, or deterministic method. Normally overcome through hardcoded pipe advertisements (or pipe ID's), encoded pipe ID's.
Un-synchronized pipe binding. Typically caused by network islands, which are joined at a later point in time. Easily overcome through rendezvous event listener prior to any binding attempt.
Failed Secure pipe connections. Typically due to failure of establishing NetPeerGroup credentials (TLS resides in the NetPeerGroup, and inherited by all sub-groups), or missing a trusted certificate or certificate chain in PSE. This is overcome by stablishing NetPeerGroup credential, and ensuring the perspective trusted certificate or certificate chain is stored into PSE (See the shell command pse.importcert). jxta JxtaSocket https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/jxtanetmap_gets_a_new_face JxtaNetMap gets a new face-lift hamada 2005-07-30T11:25:12+00:00 2008-03-25T17:00:03+00:00 JxtaNetMap is a pretty useful network debugging tool, however you would probably agree that the color choices and arrow representation were kind of dated (reminiscent of the 70's). Since I use the tool often I decided to give it a little face-lift. Some of the changes were simple, such as choosing a color scheme, and node text spacing, others were a bit more involved and entailed changing the arrow drawing algorithm. I hope you like the new look.

This release contains the new binding of JXME proxy-less platform on CDC1.1 (JSR218). A stable version of JXME 2.0 platform is now available. The platform provides edge only functionality with TCP/IP only support, the platform also provides relay transports for peers thar are behind a firewall or NAT. You can read more details about the release at :

The bug manifested itself through lack of proper advertisement indexing, rendering the cache unusable. Services which rely on discovery for advertisement caching, had to rely on the network instead to resolve resources, which caused unnecessary network traffic, and slowed down operations.
 I can't wait to see how the JXME platform performs with a in memory LRU cache in comparison to a persistent cache. Once the JXME 2.0 platform passes a functional test which includes it's cousins (J2SE platform, and JXTA-C) it can be declared stable. https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AD%D8%A8%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%83%D9%85_%E6%AC%A2%E8%BF%8E_welcome_bienvenue مرحبا بكم, 欢迎, Welcome, Bienvenue, Bien Venido to JXME/JSR218 hamada 2005-06-08T17:06:38+00:00 2005-06-09T00:32:04+00:00 Below are snapshots of JXME's ChatDemo on an Ipaq running familiar Linux with Opie 1.2 and CDC 1.1, interacting with a JXTA Shell over a propagate pipe. And yes I will share (sometime soon) the step-by-step details on how to get started.

If you have been tracking progress of the JXME/JSR218 effort, then you should be pleased to know that the JXME platform is close to declaring an alpha milestone. Here are the details of the current state of the platform:
 RendezVousService, now fully functional in both AD-HOC, and infrastructure mode. It supports connections to rendezvous peers directly, through a seed list, and local sub-net multicast. This service is key in the operation of most of platform service.
 RelayTransport, fully functional. A JXME peer is able to establish relay leases, and operate in a firewalled, and/or NAT'd configuration. ResolverService, verified fully functional. PipeService, fully functional. The PipeService supports unicast and propagated pipes ConfigurationFactory, produces a simple and functional PlatformConfig. Features planned are support for specifying seed address, an interface address, and whatever people scream for. DisocveryService, not yet fully functional. There still remains work to be done, with an in memory CacheManager, advertisement caching is a bit different from that of a persistent store, as some advertisements do not define an ID and those must be dealt with properly, in addition it is simply new code and as expected bugs lurk. ChatDemo, verified fully functional. Interoperable with JXTA shell, instantp2p, and MyJxta2 at the NetPeerGroup level. The app displays messages received on the pipe, and responds with a greeting and a message contains the "jxme" substring. GroupDemo, Same as the ChatDemo, however it creates a MyJxta subgroup and joins it, and operates the those pipes within the new group. So when is alpha you ask. As soon as the DiscoveryService is verified to be fully functional, an alpha will be declared.

 And finally, if you are interested in JxtaBiDiPipe, and JxtaSocket stay tuned for upcoming updates https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/jxme_jsr218_configuration_and_unit JXME/JSR218, Configuration and unit tests hamada 2005-05-25T08:38:26+00:00 2005-05-25T15:40:00+00:00 Continuing yesterday's thread, the JXME two additional components :
 A PlatformConfigurationFactory. A lean an simple configuration factory (~140 lines of code w/o JavaDoc ~362/w). The factory provides a standard default edge configuration, which the application can augment prior to calling the factory, e.g. :

ConfigurationFactory.setHome(homeDir); Advertisement config = ConfigurationFactory.newPlatformConfig(); ConfigurationFactory.save(config);

 The above code snippet overrides the default $JXTA_HOME from $CWD/.jxta to homeDir, a default edge configuration is created, and a call to save stores the PlatformConfig in homeDir.
 Unit tests (a must for any project) were also added to validate the newly added components, ans as expected were quite useful in shedding light on lurking bugs. Currently they provided minimum coverage and expected to provide coverage with time.
 Now onto platform bring up :)

One of the performance enhancements added (and likely to make it's way back into the Platform), is a minor improvement with big performance rewards. The base Advertisement class now defines a new method by which the Cache Manager (CM), and any other component for that matter can introspect an advertisement for it's index map without having to exercise the XML parser. All sub classes of the Advertisement now return an immutable Map (even when empty) to be utilized for indexing, and SRDI distribution purposes. This enhancement was a must for JXME on CDC, as processing cycles can be a premium price to pay. I also suspect it will have similar impact within the platform.
 I was also searching for an LRUCache (rather than reinventing the wheel) to serve as the back end store for the in memory Cache Manager, where I stumbled upon a "license compatible" implementation within the Tomcat collections library, which by the way just slotted in with little effort.

 - Have you tried to figure out where the network bottlenecks are?
 - Have you wondered how loaded a particular rendezvous peer is?
 If you have answered yes to any of the above then JxtaNetMap is a tool that can earn a spot in the tool chest. I use it frequently to monitor the health of the network, or to figure out how far peers are separated and whether an ailing rendezvous point is between. It has definitely been a time saver for me.
  JXTA Network snapshop taken 5/16/05 14:00:00 https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/jxme_getting_close_to_a JXME. Getting close to a functional stack hamada 2005-05-15T16:14:52+00:00 2005-05-20T16:52:50+00:00 Over the weekend I added the remaining core services to bring JXME several more steps closer to a functional JXTA platform under the J2ME CDC 1.1 personal foundation profile. The most difficult services to port/integrate were the Rendezvous, and Resolver service, due to interdependencies and additional required components such as the PeerView. What remains now is implementing an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache to support an in memory resource cache, as well as a built-in platform configuration factory. With my last commit the following is available :
 ResolverService, Edge only functionality (no incoming SRDI handling)
RendezvousServcie, Edge, and ADHOC functionality with forced maximum ttl propagation in both modes, I expect to much more trimming, simplification will occur in this package.
PipeService, exposes only valid APIs to support Unicast, and Propagate pipes, and also in support of bidirectional pipes. You should expect JxtaSocket JxtaBiDiPipe to be added later on. I also expect that these utilities will be refactored to utilize a common bidirectional layer (something I had planned on from the beginning just never got around to it).
DiscoveryService, exposes all valid APIs to support local, and remote discovery. Will probably expose extended APIs which allow discovery of an advertisement in a single call (perform local, remote) and avoid caching the advertisement, rather all the application to make that call. The port of the discovery service included the addition of skeletal in memory Cm and SrdiCache, and a SRDI service.
 Currently the platform footprint is sitting on about 581K, and I expect it to remain at about that value, even with the addition of a ConfigurationFactory, and caches, as I expect to trim and consolidate components. https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/jxme_platform_configuration JXME Platform Configuration hamada 2005-05-04T11:01:22+00:00 2005-05-04T19:26:11+00:00 Today I am tackling platform configuration. I decided that to address configuration early on and avoid the pain later on, when JXME/CDC is ready prime time. To give a little background on PlatformConfig :
 PlatformConfig is JXTA Advertisement (XML Document) which identifies, and describes how a platform instance is configured. A PlatfromConfig is read in at runtime by the platform and services, and transports are configured according to the defined service parameters. PlatformConfig defines the following:

PeerID

Meta-data about the peer (name, description)

Core Services and associated configuration (which also happen to be Advertisements as well)

PSEConfig advertisement contains peer certs

Service Elements which define a service ID, along with a advertisement defining the service parameter

TransportAdvertisement representing TCP, HTTP, etc. which defines transport parameters

Core services (Rendezvous, Relay, Proxy, etc.)

 So here's my line of thinking, the platform provides a built in lite XML parser, and better yet it also provides bindings to the aforementioned advertisements, I don't see a reason to use an XML parser directly, nor the need to define another XML configuration representation. A simple configurator factory can leverage those bindings to generate a PlatformConfig, as well as provide static methods to retrieve/update platform service objects.

 https://blogs.oracle.com/hamada/entry/porting_the_jxta_protocols_over Porting the JXTA protocols over the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) hamada 2005-05-02T11:00:00+00:00 2005-05-03T08:51:11+00:00 A couple of weeks ago, I (seriously) started porting the JXTA protocols on top of the J2ME Connected Device Configuration (CDC) platform, and the Foundation Profile. The JXME CDC binding (An open source project hosted at JXME) will provide full JXTA edge peer functionality with TCP, and HTTP transport support, minus few optional services which can be added later on if there's enough demand for them. So far I have completed porting the core API's (Access, Discovery, Document, Endpoint, ID, Membership, Pipe, Rendezvous, Resolver, Service, PeerGroup, and all the core advertisements, and protocol messages), I have also completed porting some of the required implementation packages (WireBinaryFormat, ID, LiteXMLDocument, and all the advertisements and protocol messages, along with miscellaneous utilities). The port has been fairly straight forward (with a few minor bumps in the road), it included culling of deprecated API's, and general code cleanup which one would not normally notice in casual browsing of the code. Going forward however, I must lend some thoughts to simplifying the API, and I look forward to thoughts and comments on discuss@jxme. It is also very likely that devices running such platform are resource constrained, and in order to run efficiently, some implementation pkgs must be simplified to run efficiently on such devices. For example it is very likely an in memory LRU Cache-Manager will supersede the current persistent store Cache-Manager, another example is the endpoint service is likely to change dramatically from it's older cousin PLATFORM), as an edge peer functionality would not require all of the features. Remember, this effort is open source (JXME), and your participation & contribution are quite welcome.
