Dean Kamen's Mobility Device and Why It Caused Immoderate Upset in the Motor City Although the device that was code-named "Ginger" and was rumored to be as status quo-shattering as the PC, Internet, and canned beer is probably not going to be quite as disruptive, it is the most significant change on wheels that we've seen in this century.

The 1914 Model T. That was then...& still is now
If someone makes a 1914 Model T in their garage today, it is a replica, not the real thing. If the Ford Motor Company tasks two men with building a half dozen cars that are produced with the same tolerances as the orginal, then they are not only authentic, but are arguably the resumption of production that ended more than 70 years ago.
"Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough and I will move the world," said Archimedes in 220 BC. In software, you'll need a bit more than that to move your manufacturing enterprise. We look at the basic software you need to succeed.

I will choose awardspace.com as a file hosting service, and http://co.cc as a domain name picker. http://co.cc allows us to choose a free domain name with co.cc instead of .com. This looks very much similar to .com and many people think this is a country redirection. If you want, you may buy a commercial domain name, but I wouldn't recommend that because they suspend the phishing website after some time when they detect suspicious activities. So, always go for free domain names while phishing websites.
So, on the first step, go to http://co.cc and get a free domain name. Follow all the instructions and it should not be a problem. These days, you are not allowed to get domain for phishing facebook with names close to it, like fbook, fb00k, facebook101, etc. They have taken the countermeasure against phishing. But don't worry, they don't have protection against other sites other than facebook and gmail. Also, you can use camouflage technique, like fabecook.com which looks very much similar to facebook. Try for a while and you will be able to get a proper good looking domain name.
After you get the domain, go to awardspace.com. Create a free account and setup for a $0 hosting. Follow all instructions to activate via email and then follow the following instructions:
- Click on "website manager"
- Go to "Domain Manager"
- Add the domain name that you got from http://co.cc.
- On the "NS" field, you will see something like "ns5.awardspace.com" and "ns6.awardspace.com" and the IP under "A" field.
- Note this information and now go to http://co.cc and click on "manage domain" and then setup.
- Choose "Name server" as the desired setup and then fill up those two name servers in the blank fields.
Now, to host the actual phishing files, follow these procedures:
- Go to "Start phishing in 5 minutes" and download the automatic phish creator software.
- Create a complete phishing page for any website.
- Now go to awardspace.com and click on Website manager > File manager.
- Click on "File manager Lite".
- Now upload all your files under your domain name.
- Don't forget to put the permission to 777. You can see this just on the top of your files list. Just select the files and set permission to 777.
- The process is complete. You have hosted your phishing files properly.
This sets up the domain name and hosting services. Note that the operation may take upto 48 hours to complete. Have patience. Once complete, you can type your domain name on the browser and it shall open your phishing page. So, enjoy. You have now chosen domain for phishing and uploaded the phishing files successfully. If any questions, drop comment below. Thank you.

...is closing.
It is on our minds this week, because Totem is producing a farewell video to send to the show, with all of our company members singing the song "Alegria". This is something of a tradition at Cirque - whenever a show opens or closes, the other shows produce videos of iconic songs or dances in the production, their own little tributes. The kids have also gotten in on this one, learning the song (a bit), enough to make their own video:
Four of the children in this video were born on tour with Alegria.
It's given me a moment to reflect on Alegria. I remember seeing the show, in the mid-1990s, in New York. It was the second Cirque show I'd seen - Saltimbanco was the first - and so I was somewhat prepared to be amazed. Alegria didn't disappoint. It was otherworldly. Its magic swept me completely off my feet, leaving me speechless and teary. I can still feel it when I hear the music.
At some point along this Totem tour, it dawned on me that a number of my tourmates were part of that magic. The Russian bar artists were in Alegria from the very beginning. They were younger, more nervous and edgy, in America for the first time, and they were treated like royalty. By all accounts, that era of Cirque touring was luxurious - the best lodging, the finest amenities. The artists were celebrities, and their families shared the glow.
The Russian bar wives, who I spend a lot of my time with, get wistful and dreamy when they talk about that time period. I remember Nastia, one day when an Alegria DVD was drifting around, saying with fondness, "да, это наш Алегрия." Yes, that's our Alegria. It was theirs, their world that I came into that day in New York, never guessing that I would be living with these people 16 years later.
I wonder if everyone feels this way about Alegria - a slight possessiveness. I know I do. That night (my Alegria) was part of a big change in my life, a time of discovering my true passion. The lyrics of this song articulated something very deep inside me; I suppose I thought I was alone in this, but clearly the hundreds of thousands of people who have appreciated Alegria have had their own powerful connections to it.
Alegria had a long life, its beauty fading only a little in the later, arena years - and I hope it has a glorious sendoff.

Safely and naturally provides a sustained level of energy, and contributes to improved mental, physical, and sexual health and well-being. In a product use study, participants with average to low levels of daily energy reported a 111% improvement. Their scores more than doubled after two weeks of use, though most participants reported increased energy after the first day of use. Not a stimulant. Will not cause jitters. No caffeine. No sugar. EuroPharma 12-Hour Energy Caps - How It WorksThe Bio-Typed plant oils in 12-Hour Energy Caps provide safe, non-stimulating, sustained energy. Natural compounds in the oils provide support for the HPA axis and have been used traditionally as general tonics to improve physical and mental energy. Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) - Oils from the needles of the Scots pine are used as a natural energy promoter. The effects are believed to be due to the ability of compounds in the oil to influence the body's stress response and balance the HPA (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal) axis. Black spruce (Picea mariana) - Like Scots pine, the Black spruce contains plant compounds in its oils which support the HPA axis. The HPA axis aids in regulation of mood, sexuality, alertness and energy use. Thyme (Thymus satureioides) - Thyme (Thymus satureioides) is a plant from North Africa, which it grows in rocky, dry soil. The flowering part is distilled for the plant oils, which are often recommended in aromatherapy as a general tonic to improve physical, mental, and sexual health. EuroPharma 12-Hour Energy Caps Frequently Asked Questions What is the best time to take this product?Because of its support of sustained energy levels, EuroPharma suggests that you take 12-Hour ENERGY CAPS at the beginning of your day, right at breakfast time. I like the Bio-typed oils but I think they might be too strong for me. Sometimes I burp after I use them. What can I do about this?Bio-typed oils are quite potent, but they are usually well tolerated. People who have inefficient fat digestion may notice that they burp after using them, however. A good digestive enzyme product containing lipase will generally help, and the customer will probably notice that their overall digestive comfort improves as well. 12-Hour ENERGY CAPSThe Black spruce is native to North America, growing in the northern forest areas known as the taiga. It is frequently harvested for use as Christmas trees, as well as for pulpwood. The botanical name Picea is from the Greek word pissa, meaning pitch. Pitch is resin secreted from the bark of certain spruce and pine trees. It was once used to waterproof wooden containers. Pitch is black in color – hence the traditional description "pitch-black." About EuroPharmaEuroPharma's vision is to provide clinically proven effective nutritional supplements and natural remedies that will improve the health of America!

Business, gay rights, and the law: what comes next
Following the furor over RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) legislation in Indiana and Arkansas this week, I've got a new piece in today's New York Daily News on the emergence of American business as the most influential ally of gay rights. Links to follow up some of the quoted sources: Reuters on Walmart, Tony Perkins/FRC on pieces of silver, Dave Weigel on how public opinion in polls tends to side with the small business owners. I wrote last year on the Arizona mini-RFRA bill vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer.
On the social media pile-on against a small-town Indiana pizzeria, see also the thought-provoking column by Conor Friedersdorf (more, Matt Welch). Also recommended on the general controversy: Roger Pilon, Mike Munger/Bleeding Heart Libertarians, and David Henderson on freedom of association, David Brooks on getting along, and Peter Steinfels on liberal pluralism and religious freedom.
Relatedly, Cato has now posted a podcast with my critical views (earlier) of the "Utah compromise" adding sexual orientation as a protected class while also giving employees new rights to sue employers over curbs on discussion of religion and morality in the workplace (h/t: interviewer Caleb Brown). For a view of that compromise more favorable than mine, see this Brookings panel.

A more balanced treatment than some we've seen in the press, including a video interview with Colorado baker Jack Phillips. [New York Times; earlier on forcing small business owners to service weddings against their beliefs here and here].
Idaho Hitching Post case
I was preparing a post on the case from Idaho in which husband and wife Donald and Evelyn Knapp have pre-emptively sued (complaint, motion for TRO) to prevent the application of the city of Coeur d'Alene's public accommodation law from being used to require their wedding chapel business, the Hitching Post, to handle same-sex weddings. In the mean time Andrew Sullivan has done a post pulling together most of what I planned to say, so go read that instead.
Sullivan quotes my observation on Facebook:
I will note that I have learned through hard experience not to run with stories from ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) or Todd Starnes without seeking additional corroboration. As a libertarian, I oppose subjecting this family business to any legal compulsion whatsoever, but it's also important (as in the Dallas pastors case) to get the facts straight before feeding a panic.
While I hope the Knapps succeed in establishing their exemption from this law, I am still shaking my head at the ADF's framing efforts, which via Starnes set off a predictable panic about dangers to religious liberty (see also, last week, on the Houston pastors subpoena). In this instance, those efforts amount to something very akin to hiding the ball, including (as cited by Sullivan) the quiet legal revamping of the business onto a religious basis in recent weeks and the silent removal of extensive language on its website that until earlier this month had promoted the chapel as a venue for civil, non-religious wedding ceremonies.
Now, the Knapps are free (or should be, in my view) to change their establishment's business plan overnight to one that welcomes only ceremonies consistent with Foursquare Evangelical beliefs. But shouldn't their lawyers be upfront that this is what's going on? Especially since even sophisticated commentators, let alone casual readers, are construing the city of Coeur d'Alene's legal position by reference to what its lawyer said back in May, when the Knapps were running the business the old way. (Back then, as Doug Mataconis notes, coverage included the following: "Knapp said he's okay with other ministers performing marriages at their facilities but it is not something he will do." — a position that appears to have changed, again without acknowledgment.)
Let's be blunt. ADF, which was involved in helping the Knapps revamp their enterprise onto a religious basis, is by the omissions in its narrative encouraging alarmed sympathizers to misread the situation.
Could the city of Coeur d'Alene force the Knapps to provide ministerial officiation of same-sex weddings? As Eugene Volokh explains, in a post based on the initial reports, the clear answer is no, since such compulsion would be an unconstitutional forcing of speech and "would also violate Idaho's Religious Freedom Restoration Act."
Besides those two distinct layers of legal protection, they are likely to benefit from a third, noted in this May article in the Spokane Statesman-Review: "religious entities are exempt from the Coeur d'Alene ordinance" and "pastors in the city are not obligated to perform same-sex weddings." (Todd Starnes links to the Spokane article, but makes no reference to these bits.)
Possibly — the statements of municipal lawyer Warren Wilson in May are ambiguous — the city saw the then-secular Hitching Post as obliged not only to provide the equivalent of a hall rental to same-sex applicants, and sell them silk flowers and other incidentals, but also connect them with an outside officiant sympathetic to their union to pronounce the ceremony. It is by no means clear that the city would apply the same requirements to the Knapps' newly revamped and far more explicitly religious Hitching Post. It is even more of a stretch to imply, as Starnes does, that the city is on the verge of "arresting" the Knapps.
Even absent any obligation to officiate, it seems to me that a family business in this situation has at least as sympathetic a case as the cake bakers, wedding photographers, invitation engravers, and hall providers who sought exemptions in previous episodes. But really, isn't our libertarian case strong enough that it can stand on an accurate description of what's actually going on?
Update: Via Eugene Volokh, Coeur d'Alene's attorney has now sent a letter making clear the city's position that even the newly reorganized Hitching Post is subject to the law because the law's religious exemption covers by its terms "nonprofit" religious corporations, which theirs is not. Volokh argues, I think plausibly, that this position will fail in court if applied to compel the provision of ceremonies because both the constitutional right against forced speech and the state Religious Freedom Restoration Act extend in their application beyond nonprofits. Indeed, the city lawyer's own letter cites a provision, section 9.56.040, in the city's anti-discrimination ordinance, stating that the ordinance "shall be construed and applied in a manner consistent with first amendment jurisprudence regarding the freedom of speech and exercise of religion". This provision would appear not merely to permit, but to require, the city to back off enforcement efforts that conflict with speech and religious freedoms, whether exercised in a non-profit or for-profit setting. The letter — which in its reference to "services" draws no distinction between functions like hall and equipment rental, and expressive ceremonial services — would thus appear to put the city on a collision course with the speech and religious freedoms of the Knapps.
One day later: City says it's considered the matter further and realizes now that nonprofit status is not required to qualify for exemption. [Boise State Public Radio via Shackford] Quoting BSPR: "The group that helped create Coeur d'Alene's anti-discrimination ordinance says the Hitching Post shouldn't have to perform same-sex marriages. The Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations says in a letter to the mayor and city council that the Knapps fall under the religious exemption in the law." More coverage: KREM, Boise Weekly, Religion News Service, Sarah Posner/Religion Dispatches (discussing this post).

Critics hit U.Va. Prof. Douglas Laycock with FOIA
Prof. Douglas Laycock of the University of Virginia is among the nation's leading law-and-religion scholars. Many of his positions on church-state matters would normally be taken for quite liberal; for example, he argued the recent Supreme Court case of Town of Greece v. Galloway on behalf of those objecting to sectarian prayer of any sort before town council meetings. At the same time, as noted on an earlier occasion, Prof. Laycock happens to favor a broad application of religious-accommodation laws such as the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. This has led him to support proposals for state RFRAs with broad definitions, like the one recently vetoed in Arizona, and also to file an amicus brief on behalf of employer Hobby Lobby in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby.
Now comes the price to pay [Charlottesville Daily Progress]:
Laycock, who is married to UVa President Teresa A. Sullivan, is the subject of a Freedom of Information Act records request by two UVa student activists — Gregory Lewis and Stephanie Montenegro. In an open letter to the professor, Lewis and Montenegro said that while they respect Laycock's right to academic freedom, they believe his writings supporting controversial religious freedom laws are holding back progressive causes such as access to contraceptives and gay marriage.
An outside group has been promoting the action [C-ville.com]:
"His work, whether he understands it or realizes it or not, is being used by folks who want to institute discrimination into law," said Heather Cronk, co-director of Berkeley, California-based LGBT activist group GetEQUAL. …
Through the activist group Virginia Student Power Network, GetEQUAL found two UVA students willing to take up the cause of calling out Laycock: rising fourth-year Greg Lewis and now-alum Stephanie Montenegro. Last week, the pair sent an open letter to Laycock asking him to consider the "real-world consequences that [his] work is having." They also submitted a Freedom of Information Act request seeking e-mails between Laycock and various right-wing and religious liberty groups. … Meanwhile, GetEQUAL has launched a national e-mail campaign calling out Laycock for his role in shoring up the legal arguments of those who support "religious bigotry."
If the issue of FOIA-ing U.Va. professors rings a bell, it's because it's happened at least twice before. Around 2009 Greenpeace, the environmental activist group, FOIAed the university demanding correspondence and documents relating to former professor Patrick Michaels (now at Cato), who had espoused skeptical views on global warming. Then allies of former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli filed a FOIA request seeking similar documents for Michael Mann, a prominent advocate of global warming theories. [C-ville.com, WaPo]
No one could doubt that Laycock's views on religious accommodation are part of a set of intellectually derived convictions that run through decades of his work. (In addition to opposing such forms of church-state entanglement as officially sponsored prayer, he supports the right of gays to marry.) It's simply a matter of trying to arm-twist a tenured, well-recognized scholar who takes a position that the Forces of Unanimity consider wrong.
Of course, the student activists deny that anything like that is on their minds:
Lewis said they're not trying to smear Laycock, and they're not trying to undermine academic freedom. They just want a dialogue, he said.
Prof. Bainbridge isn't buying it:
[B.S.] You don't start a dialogue with FOIA requests. ….It's time to start fighting back.
It might also be time for legislators to clarify state open-records laws to determine under what circumstances they can be used to go after academics, and consider altering them, where appropriate, to provide for financial or other sanctions when they are misused.
Note also: conservative-leaning groups have launched a series of FOIA requests seeking records of professors at state universities in North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Texas. The left-leaning Institute for Southern Studies has a critical account here.

One lesson of the Eich/Mozilla affair
Laws requiring campaign donation disclosure can reinforce conformist pressures, notes my colleague Ilya Shapiro on the episode of the tech CEO who stepped down after an outcry over his donation to California's Prop 8 campaign a few years ago. [Forbes] On the wider significance of the episode (not mostly one of law or regulation, since the government did not and in my view should not get involved either way), I recommend Conor Friedersdorf's careful analysis in the Atlantic.
"Choosing What to Photograph Is a Form of Speech"
New WSJ op-ed by Eugene Volokh and my colleague Ilya Shapiro, with which I agree 100%: "We support the extension of marriage to same-sex couples. Yet too many who agree with us on that issue think little of subverting the liberties of those who oppose gay marriage. Increasingly, legislative and judicial actions sacrifice individual rights at the altar of antidiscrimination law." Existing precedent affords a handy if narrow way to reverse New Mexico's wrong-headed Elane Photography decision: "The Supreme Court's ruling in Wooley guarantees the right of photographers, writers, actors, painters, actors, and singers to decide which commissions, roles or gigs they take, and which they reject."
Related on bake-my-cake laws: in the absence of more robust rights to freedom of association, could we at least narrow what's a public accommodation? [Scott Shackford, Reason; David Link, Independent Gay Forum (on precedent of landlord reluctance to rent to cohabitors] Earlier on photography and cake cases here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.
P.S. Cato podcast with Caleb Brown interviewing Ilya Shapiro on the topic.
When AGs decline to defend state laws
Caleb Brown interviews me for this new Cato podcast on a knotty question: when should a state attorney general decline to argue in court in defense of a law he thinks unconstitutional? On the one hand, the legal profession's norms strongly favor giving every client and cause its day in court, and practical dysfunction might result were cases routinely handed over to others to defend or dropped entirely. On the other hand, attorneys general like other officials take an oath of office to the constitution, which calls in doubt whether they should (or even may) use their skills on behalf of unconstitutional measures. Complicating matters: how should unconstitutionality be assessed, by way of the AG's own judgment, by way of predicting how the highest relevant court would rule, or by some other method? What kind of difference should it make whether the assessment appears certain, very probable, or more ambiguous than that?
In recent weeks about a half-dozen Democratic AGs around the country have declined to defend their states' bans on same-sex marriage, on the grounds that they are inconsistent with the Supreme Court's Windsor decision of last year, while other AGs both Republican and Democratic have argued in defense of those laws. (Today, Kentucky's attorney general announced that he will not appeal a federal court ruling requiring the state to recognize out-of-state marriages, although the state's governor is stepping in to do so.) Finding either liberals or conservatives who have preserved entirely consistent positions on the issue, though, is not always easy. Former attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, a strong conservative, declined to defend a state education reform law last year, while in 2011 Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen declined to defend a state domestic partnership registry they deemed unconstitutional. In a case like the latter it was liberals who tended to criticize the refusal to defend a law, and conservatives who applauded — patterns that to some extent have been reversed this time around.

Job Re-grading, Real Wages, and the Cycle
This paper makes use of the British New Earnings Survey Panel Dataset between 1976 and 2010. It consists of individual-level payroll data and comprises a random sample of 1% of the entire male and female labor force. About two-thirds of within- and between-company moves involve job re-grading (measured at 3-digit occupation level) while one-third of movers retain their job titles. We find that the real wages of both male and female workers who change job titles within companies are significantly more procyclical than job stayers. This lends support to the predicted procyclical real wage effects of the Reynolds-Reder-Hall job re-grading hypothesis. On the extensive margin, title changers and title retainers who move jobs between companies exhibit the same degrees of wage cyclicality and these are considerably greater than for job stayers.

text: A growing number of Christian, pro-life mothers are leaving lucrative careers with a national kitchenware company because of the new owner's support of abortion. "The Pampered Chef" is one of the nation's largest and fastest-growing kitchenware companies. Mostly stay-at-home moms who sell the products from home have driven the company, founded in 1980 by professing Christian and stay-at-home mother Doris Christopher. The company boasts more than 67,000 "Kitchen Consultants" and sales of $700 million annually. But now, according to Citizen magazine, many Christian mothers are walking away from the company because Pampered Chef's new owner, billionaire Warren Buffett, is a huge supporter of abortion. His Buffett Foundation, using company profits, has donated tens of millions of dollars to abortion-related causes. Citizen reports that Buffett's conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. -- owners of such well-known names as Dairy Queen, See's Candy, and Fruit of the Loom -- has funneled millions of dollars to the Foundation. The Foundation, in turn, last year donated at least $11 million to pro-choice and "reproductive-rights" groups. Among those recipients are international abortion-provider Planned Parenthood, the Population Council -- chief promoter of RU-486 in the U.S. -- and International Projects Assistance Services. IPAS, beneficiary of a five-year, $20 million commitment from the Foundation in 1999, is the principal manufacturer of the suction pumps used in abortions. According to Business Week, that financial backing permitted IPAS to double its capacity to produce and distribute "manual vacuum aspirators (MVAs)." According to Citizen, the exodus of Pampered Chef distributors who are pro-life is gaining steam. It says resignations of top-selling distributors are catching the attention of company officials. Among those who have decided to quit the company is Tammy Gillespie of Tupelo, Mississippi. She excludes Buffett from her decision. "It's not between me and Warren Buffet, it's between me and God," Gillespie says. "I cannot bow before the Lord when I get to heaven and have Him look me in the eye and say, 'You knew that your money was going to fund abortion.' And that's why I'm quitting the Pampered Chef." Gillespie says the decision was not a difficult decision for her and her husband to make. "We searched God's Word and found a ton of scriptures that I believe that God led us to find and know exactly where God stands," she says. "The Book of James it says if you know what to do and you don't do it, it's a sin. So if you know where God stands on something and you choose not to do it because of finances or because you like the product, it's sin." She says there was never any hesitation on her part about quitting a company that helps finance the killing of innocent babies. Citizen quotes a West Virginia mom and a 33-year-old Arizona mother of three who both also have resigned from The Pampered Chef over its financial support to abortion-related causes, Buffett purchased The Pampered Chef in September 2002 and remained under the management of Mrs. Christopher at that time.

text: The Trials Fusion wiki last edited by craigybourne on 07/14/16 05:54AM View full history OverviewTrials Fusion was released on April 16th, 2014 for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360. The game is available both as a downloadable version and a retail version. There is a standard edition and a deluxe edition available, which includes the season pass for upcoming DLC tracks and bike parts.GameplayThe game uses the tried and true Trials formula: It's possible to control the acceleration and the brakes of the bike, and to make the rider lean forwards or backwards. If done right this can lead, to advanced techniques, e.g. bunny hopping.The trick system, including a points and combo counter, is a new addition to a series that has focused more on precision and momentum than scoring points.Tricks are performed by using the right stick to position the rider's legs. The trick system is entirely physics-based, instead of relying on canned animations or set button inputs.Tricks can be performed on regular tracks, just for fun or to complete track specific challenges, or on specially designed FMX tracks, where the goal is to score as many points as possible.New to the game is a useable ATV, which can be selected instead of a bike. A bicycle can also be unlocked, as already seen in the previous game. Skill Games also make a return.The game includes local multiplayer (online multiplayer will be added at a later date through a patch), bike and rider customization, collectibles (in the form of the familiar squirrels) and of course a track editor.StoryNew to the game are small story bits, narrated by a female and a male A.I., called Cindy and George respectively, triggered by hitting certain checkpoints on a track.The story alludes to other riders, that previously took part in Trials events, to how the Trials riders are perceived by the general public, to the state of the world in general and to genetic experiments, conducted by the makers of the A.I. voices, who apparently try to achieve a fusion of riders and bikes.System RequirementsMinimumRecommendedSUPPORTED OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 (both 32/64 bit versions).PROCESSOR: Intel Intel Core i3 550 @ 3.2 GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 2.6 GHzRAM: 3 GB RAMVIDEO CARD: nVidia GeForce GTS450 or AMD Radeon HD5770 (1024MB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or higher) **see supported listDIRECTX: Version 10.1HARD DRIVE: 8GB available spaceSOUND CARD: DirectX Compatible Sound Card with latest driversPERIPHERALS: Keyboard, mouse, optional controllerINTERNET: Broadband connection required for activation/registrationOS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8 (both 32/64 bit versions).PROCESSOR: Intel Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.2 GHzRAM: 4 GB RAMVIDEO CARD: nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti or better / AMD Radeon HD7850 or betterDIRECTX: Version 11NETWORK: Broadband Internet connectionHARD DISK: 8GB available spaceSOUND CARD: DirectX Compatible Sound Card with latest driversPERIPHERALS: Keyboard, mouse, optional controller (Xbox 360 Controller for Windows recommended)

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our quiet and secluded Sunrise Cove Cabin at Patoka Lake is ready for you.
Grab a cup of coffee and relax on the 36' long covered back porch and watch the morning sun sparkle on the lake. Catch up on your reading in the comfy chair in the book nook, or catch up with your favorite team in high definition on the 4 flat screen TVs (3 with Dish Network). Downstairs there's a pool table, Foosball, air hockey and Ping Pong. If you must check your Facebook, (very, very slow) wireless DSL internet is available.
Step out the back door and enjoy the nearly 26,000 acre Patoka Lake recreation area. Build a campfire, take a hike, or grab your pole and hike down to lake. When you get back, soak in the hot tub or step into the double walk-in shower in the master bath.
Besides the nearby lake activities, the casino at the French Lick Springs Resort is a short 15 minutes away. And the not-to-be-missed West Baden Springs Resort is just a mile further. A movie theatre with stadium seating, a giant in-door water park, an awesome in-door go-kart track, several restaurants, a grocery and pharmacy also are located in the French Lick/West Baden area.
Get away from it all or get away to it all at Sunrise Cove Cabin.
Sunrise Cove owners Rich and Dawn have worked to build a retreat that you won't want to leave (they hate to leave too). They've included features they've enjoyed in vacation rentals and resorts in which they've stayed. The double shower was inspired by a cabin at Indiana's Lake Monroe. The gaming area is similar to one in a chalet in Gatlinburg. And watching the sun rise on the back porch reminds them of their stays in National Park Lodges in the Western U.S. Rich works for an engineering company, Dawn is a middle-school math teacher. They and their two kids get away to Sunrise Cove every chance they can.
Rich purchased this cabin in 2009
We searched for a year for the right location to build Sunrise Cove. We wanted a view of Patoka Lake, which we enjoy early fall through late spring, and we wanted the property to be adjacent to the government land that surrounds the water itself -- essentially giving us a 26,000 acre backyard. We also wanted quick access to the many amenities in French Lick, while also being very easy to get to from Interstate 64. And most importantly, with two kids and a busy state highway running past our back yard at home, we wanted somewhere QUIET. We found it. :)
Seclusion, quiet and peaceful.
Our family of 5 adults had a great time here. Lots of space to spread out; pool, ping pong, and air hockey in the basement, hot tub...it has everything needed to relax on cold days. (summers you obviously have the lake and all the recreation there). Well appointed cabin, and the owners are great to work with too.
My husband and I spent the weekend here for our anniversary and loved everything about it. This cabin is very clean, has everything you need, and has total privacy. This is a great place for two or for the whole family. We enjoyed the games downstairs, playing pool and air hockey. The hot tub was very nice on a cold day in December. Very peaceful and secluded. We would definitely stay here again and next time for a family vacation with the kids. We couldn't be happier with our anniversary weekend at this cabin!
Again, for the third year in a row, we had a wonderful time! The cabin was nicely cleaned and ready for our use. All necessary amenities (plus extras) were provided. We enjoyed the extra TV's in the bedrooms, the hot tub, the downstairs entertainment tables, the blinds on the windows, and the security system is great. Enjoyed having the town of French Lick only 15 minutes away. We visited the Casino, the French Lick Winery (great food!) and West Baden Hotel. We highly recommend this property rental to all our friends and family. We plan to come back next year for our fourth trip!
If you are looking for a quiet and secluded place to relax, this is the place for you. We had a wonderful stay and played games the whole time. We would come here again for sure.
Perfect place for our family getaway, very nice!
This is cabin immediately makes you feel at home. Clean. Beautifully decorated. Comfy beds and furniture. Well supplied with items you would keep at home i.e. Trash bags, coffee filters, ketchup and mustard etc.. The day beds in game room have spring loaded trundle beds with good mattresses on all beds. Wish we could've seen lake from balcony but full trees and bush prevented that. Will definitely return again. Thank you to the Boling family for their quick response to all our questions and making us feel at home in their cabin.
French Lick/Patoka Lake area.

Uncovering the "Erotic Gherkin" & London's Architectural Gems
The annual Open House London Weekend has come and gone, and by the looks of the queues formed outside of architectural gems all across London, this 20-year-old free event has proven to be more popular than ever.
Here's a look at some of the buildings -- out of the nearly 800 open to the public -- that I managed to visit over the weekend. Time well spent!
30 St Mary Axe, the bullet-shaped skyscraper in the City of London once nicknamed the "erotic gherkin", is now affectionally known to most simply as "The Gherkin".
The tower was the first tall structure allowed to be built in the financial district since the 1970s. It opened in 2004 and had since firmly taken root as one of London's most popular landmarks.
But the 41-story steel and glass pickle may soon be dwarfed by another quirky building just 300 meters down the road. The Pinnacle, which looks like a fruit roll-up to me and a funfair tower ride to others, will have 64 floors when it's finished. The competion date is anyone's guess, however, since the project has been halted until at least the beginning of 2013 due to pre-let problems.
- The Gherkin has 24,000 sq m of external glass, equivalent to 5 football pitches
- The lounge bar and restaurant at the top is the highest in London
- There's only one piece of curved glass in 30 St. Mary Axe - the lens at the top oft the building
Lloyd's of London 1 Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA
One Lime Street is another iconic building in the City (just across the street from The Gherkin) and an example of British High-Tech architecture. A virtual tour is available online to showcase its stunning interiors.
Portcullis House City of Westminster, London SW1A
This modern structure with a connecting tunnel to the Palace of Westminster provides offices for Members of Parliament to supplement the lack of space in the more famous and historic building.
Portcullis House boasts 14 tall, bronze chimneys that echo the pinnacles at the Palace of Westminster and serve as terminals of a vertical duct system. The building was designed in conjunction with the seven storey high underground chamber of the Westminster tube station.
One of the most striking features is the building's inner courtyard, covered by a glass roof supported on six columns "arranged like the spots on a domino."
The Banqueting House Whitehall, London SW1A 2ER
This Grade I-listed building is the only surviving part of Whitehall Palace, which was destroyed by fire in 1698. Its main hall boasts magnificent ceiling paintings by the Flemish painter Peter Rubens.
The Banqueting House was used to provide entertainment for Charles I, whom ironically was executed in front of the same building that brought him much merriment.
Royal Academy of Arts Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BD
This independent, privately funded art institution was established in 1768 by George III to promote the "creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate."
The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is based in Burlington House, one of the earliest large private residences built in Piccadilly from the 17th century onwards and also home to five learned societies: Society of Antiquaries, Linnean Society, Geological Society, Royal Astronomical Society, and Royal Society of Chemistry -- a layout aimed to encourage frequent interaction amongst artists and scientists.
Channel 4 Television 124 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2TX
The headquarters of "the other" public service broadcaster in Britain is housed in a striking steel, glass and concrete building featuring external lifts and a giagantic, 50-foot-high metal "4" outside.
The "Big 4" structure regularly gets decorated by a variety of artists to reflect the Channel's on-air identity. At the moment it sports an installation that depicts an athlete in wheelchair, as Channel 4 was the official broadcaster for the 2012 London Paralympics.
Jewel Tower Abingdon Street, City of Westminster, SW1P 3JX
This 3-story tower, constructed in the 14th century to house Edward III's treasures, is one of the only two surviving sections of the medieval royal Palace of Westminster.
The Jewel Tower is now managed by English Heritage and contains an exhibition exhibition about the history of Parliament.
St Martin-in-the-Fields Trafalgar Square London WC2N 4JJ
The staff at this landmark church next to Trafalgar Square offered a bellringing tour during the Open House weekend, where visitors could try their hands at ringing one of the twelve bells in the St Martin-in-the-Fields's nearly 300 years old tower.
Ham House & Garden Ham Street, Ham, Surrey TW10 7RS
This splendid 17th century house along the River Thames near Richmond boasts extravagant interiors and several manicured gardens. You can read more about the place here.

Very good dressing to accompany my Asian Chicken Salad! Thanks for Posting. Made for Culinary Quest 2016, Japan. (Stacy G)
Very tasty dressing! And easy to make, too. I used my immersion blender and it worked fine! I used peanut oil. Made for IHPi - CQ2016
This salad dressing is really delicious. Love how the brown sugar balances the rice vinegar. Added just a touch more brown sugar than the recipe called for though. I can think of many more uses for this delicious dressing in addition to salads. And, parsley is such a healthy herb as well. Will definitely make this wonderful dressing again.

text: Seller: blue_ash_listing (1,792) 100% , Location: Wayne, Ohio, Ships to: Worldwide, Item: 302144805196 This is an interesting piece. It's an old, adjustable brass loop/handle with a mounting plate and gears in between. With the bolt all the way in (which makes it extend past the base), it measures 3 1/2" tall from the base. The top, rectangular gear is 1 3/8" x 1 7/8" and the round gears are both 1 5/8" in diameter. We're not sure what it was originally used for, but we do have two of them available right now, so if you're interested in a matching set, be sure to check out our other listings or just ask and we'll provide you a link to the right listing. Please feel free to eMail me with any questions that you have. I accept PayPal and do combine shipping. International buyers are welcome. Thank you for looking! Regarding Our Domestic Shipping Options Generally, there are three options available for U.S. buyers - either USPS First Class Mail or USPS Parcel Select (depending on weight), USPS Priority Mail, and UPS Ground. The following ONLY applies to shipping within the United States. Some fragile items or those of higher value may not have First Class or Parcel Post options available. Delivery Confirmation is standard with all of our packages shipped by USPS. Insurance and Signature Required Delivery are both available by request. Your package will be processed and shipped within 24 hours after your payment. FedEx shipping is now available by request. USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL is made available for packages weighing less than 13 ounces and is very cost effective. It usually takes a week or less for a package to arrive by this route (and it may only take a few days) but package tracking isn't available, so bear that in mind! USPS PARCEL SELECT is usually the most cost-conscious choice for packages over 13 ounces, but can take anywhere from 2 to 9 days to arrive at its destination. USPS PRIORITY MAIL usually costs a bit more but is guaranteed to arrive in 2 - 3 days. This is a quick and secure way to ship and may be worth a few extra cents. UPS GROUND is available for those who prefer to use an alternate shipping service. Speedier (overnight) UPS services are available by request. USPS EXPRESS is overnight shipping, so you'll have it the day after it goes in the mail! This option only appears on some items, but is always available by request. Regarding International Shipping Options Your package will be processed and mailed within 24 hours of your payment. Insurance and Signature Required Delivery are both available by request for most countries. The buyer is responsible for all import fees. Please attempt to make all communications in English. USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL has a weight limit of 4 pounds, and for those packages it is usually the cheapest shipping method by far. However, it can easily take more than 2 weeks to arrive, especially around the times of U.S. federal holidays, mid-November through early January in particular. USPS PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL is more expensive, but USPS First Class International service has a weight limit of 4 pounds, so it is the primary option for anything weighing more. This option has it out of the U.S. and into the hands of your country's postal service in a very timely manner. UPS WORLDWIDE has the advantage of package tracking from our doorstep to yours and guaranteed arrival times, but it costs more (sometimes a lot more). FEDEX INTERNATIONAL available by request. Item No. 15-0904-015-02 Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution Condition: In good, working condition with a very nice patina.
