Second celeb tweets she hopes hurricane kills every 'SOB' at RNC
posted at 2:18 pm on August 28, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
You probably already heard to read that Obama supporter Samuel L. Jackson showed his true colors on Monday by tweeting, "Unfair Sh**: GOP spared by Issac [sic]! NOLA prolly F**ed Again! Not understanding God's plan!"
He was answered in kind with a barrage of equally obscene and mean-spirtied tweets that took him to task variously for blaspheming, railing out at the GOP, and much else. Recognizing the error of his ways (or the potential of offending move-goers), relented and tweeted: "Daayum! Poked a Hornets nest, hunh? Apologies to God, Tampa, da GOP& Isaac(sp)! Who played the Race card?!"
Now, FOX News reports that Jackson was not the first Democratic supporter to wish the GOP ill by way of Twitter. Actress Ellen Barkin on Sunday debased herself by tweeting: "C'mon #Isaac! Wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean! #RNC"
It's lucky that these tweets are coming long after the shootings in Tucson, which prompted outrage from liberals, who were convinced that the massacres were (1) politically motivated and (2) that the shooter, Jared Loughner, was a member of the Tea Party and/or Republican.
The last lesson in civility from the left came after the mother of actor Brad Pitt wrote a letter to the editor of her local newspaper espousing her conservative beliefs and received death threats.

More infield woes for Phillies
The Phillies say they aren't seeking a replacement for second baseman Chase Utley, who left the team Monday to be evaluated by a specialist.
But their latest injury – a broken bone in infielder Michael Martinez's foot – almost certainly means that the team will pursue a utility man.
Martinez suffered his injury Tuesday when he was hit by a pitch in a Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
Pete Orr and Hector Luna are the non-roster veterans in Phillies' camp. But with rookie Freddy Galvis now expected to open the season at second, the team would prefer an upgrade.
Club officials say that they are committed to Galvis as Utley's short-term replacement, and that they expect Utley to return this season.

President Hamid Karzai admitted this week his nation was on the verge of collapse and there was a possibility security had broken down. "Our roads are not safe, you can't go from Kandahar to Herat. You can't take the road from Kabul to Pakitia. When we came, life was good, but now it's not. We are still a nation deeply in pain and misery." There is something ironic in Karzai admitting seven years ago the situation was much better than the current crisis in his nation. Of course, seven years ago, the United States was not engaged in a war in Iraq and the Taliban had fled Afghanistan. Instead of dealing with the immediate problem of completely crushing the Taliban and initiating work projects to provide employment and raise standards of living, Bush diverted resources to Iraq and his failed policy in that nation.
President Karzai has to examine why his government has failed to contain the Taliban. He can not simply blame everything on others. His failure to create an effective, honest government lies at the heart of problems in Afghanistan. Additional soldiers will help, but Karzai failed to appoint honest men and women to office.

lost in canadian tRANSOLOGY
Gonzalez is the hitting hero with the game-tying AND the game-winning RBIs. Anyone watch the game? How was JV? Seemed like he is still a bit inefficient: 6 innings and a over a 100 pitches. I realize that he's not going to throw 120 pitches on Opening Day, but I think he can throw fewer pitches and eat more innings. Maybe not though.
I saw most of Verlander's innings. I thought he pitched a pretty game. His curve was very sharp, especially for the first game of the year. He couldn't find the strike zone in the 4th inning. He got squeezed by the umpire on a few key pitches. He walked three the entire game, but they were all in the 4th inning. He was over 30 pitches that inning so that made for his early exit. JV mowed them down the first 3 innings, but the Royals made some adjustments and batted more patiently after that. Even on their outs, they were going deeper into the count. It's a good strategy to drive up the pitch count.
New guy with the walk off!
grandson watching...will post in a lil bit...great win for The Ausmus'.
TIGERS PREVIEW 2014: Admittedly I dont watch much pre-season anything because it makes the excitement of Openong Days more fun for me. So I waited until watching yesterday's Game 1 before making my annual TIGERS PREDICTIONS 2014 observations. So , here we go: HITTING (AVG, HR, RBI) C- ALEX AVILA .275, 14, 65.... a catcher's main job is to handle the staff and make them comfortable and that's one thing Avila has done well as The tigers have been a top 5 staff every year he has been here. I believe Ausmus being a former catcher will do a lot to keeping Avila healthy for 125 games(his expected starts) A good example is having avila removed for a pinch runner in the 9th yesterday. The Tigers need to go 75-50 in games Avila starts. 1B- MIGUEL CABRERA .363, 41, 129......THE BEST HITTER I'VE EVER SEEN but will have a higher batting average due to more walks this year. I still hope we can get a Giancarlo Stanton steal at some point this year (yes Nelson Cruz homered on opening day for the O's) but Cabrera is in another stratosphere. And let me end this stupid Mike Trout debate!! Trout hit a 2 run HR last night AND AGAIN THE ANGELS LOST. Trout's W-L last two years 167-157 ,NO PLAYOFFS ...CABRERA'S RECORD: 181-143 AND TWO LCS FINALS!!!!!!! NUFF SAID! 2B- IAN KINSLER .282, 15, 66, 25 SB'S.......All he needs to do is stay healthy, make plays at second base and lead by example. Those 3 things are paramount if Tigers are to win WS. SS- ALEX GONZALEZ .260, 13, 60......SEE ABOVE 3B- NICK CASTELLANOS .268, 21, 81.....Fred Lynn and Jim Rice had rookie seasons in 1975 of .331, 21, 105 and .309, 22, 82 with Boston. If nick has even 75% of that, it would be perfect. LF- RAJAI DAVIS .257, 6, 45 40 sb's.....I'm hoping he will be more of a platoon player because of a trade on th horizon but I still see him contributing as a pinch runner and speed merchant running us into 5 wins on his speed alone. CF- AUSTIN JACKSON ...301, 21, 84....will be the breakout player of the year as the Tori hunter effect will start to pay dividends RF- TORII HUNTER .305, 16, 77...I Still think he has tons of mileage left basically by playing in mild climates like Minny and Detroit more and the sunny skies of Anaheim. Just good to have around the clubhouse. I hope he stays two more years as an effective bench presence at the least. DH- VICTOR MARTINEZ .325, 18, 116...The difference between him and Fielder is that Vic won't leave 258 runners on base as Fielder did last year ( A TRUE STAT!) If leyland would have had the guts to bat Victor 3rd, Cabrera 4th and then Fielder after Miggs got hurt, Tigers may have made it to World Series.What i worry about is who will bat behind Vic this year. Do not be surprised to see a major trade by June....(yes- u know I mean Stanton) BENCH: OUR superior weakness! It actually FRIGHTENS ME. Late inning pinch hitting is absolutely non -existent. We have convenient players in KELLY, ROMINE and COLLINS...but I will better when Iglesias and Dirks return making Gonzalez and Davis better platoon players. PITCHING (WIN-LOSE, ERA) JUSTIN VERLANDER , 19-8, 2.78.....WILL compete for the Cy Young Award this year. Must keep pitch count down and lowering his strikeouts will do that. Will have much more games pitching into the 9th than he did with leyland. MAX SCHERZER, 20-13, 3.15.....WILL regret not signing the big contract . A lot of Max games won last year were due to Tigers giving him best run support in baseball. That wont happen this year. But he still will have solid season because no team has a Number 2 starter that can match him on most nights. ANIBAL SANCHEZ 16-11, 2.55....I think his small stature will find him missing some starts here and there but the same theory follows as Max..No other team can throw a better Number 3 pitcher at him. RICK PORCELLO, 14-14, 4.00....I just dont know with him...he SHOULD be the breakout pitcher of the year. He is 25 with 6 years experience. He could go 17-9 or his usual 13-12...something tells me somewhere in between if the defense is top 5 in league. DREW SMYLY, 12-4, 3.58...This guy will NOT lose games! Watch! He will give us 5-6 good innings 90% of his starts. His record will be due to the bullpen's effectiveness. I still would put him in as the number 3 between Max and Sanchez at least until playoffs start. LONG Relief: I am a big fan of Evan Reed and him and Krol will be good for 2 innings each. Phil Coke can NOT be as bad as he was last year. AL B Sure is a wild card. Will see how he does after June. Putkonen will surprise us all. CLOSER: JOE NATHAN, 5-0, 1.88. 45 SAVES....here's what he did yesterday..three outs-THIRTEEN PITCHES!!! NOT THE 25-30 IT usually tool Todd Jones and Papa Fattybutt. Nuff said. MANAGER/STAFF: 10000 games of big league experience and they were GOOD players, too! Little things like running the bases, defensive positioning and not eating during a post game press conference will add 7 wins to this team alone!!! PREDICTION: I CAN only base this on everyone being 80% healthy. I have my starting pitchers going 81-50 which kind of balances out my prediction of Avila going 75-50 in HIS starts. Nathan being 5-0 makes us 86-50 for 136 games. That leaves 26 games for the rest. If the bullpen can split those games (13-13) THE TIGERS WILL FINISH 99-63. So give or take the 7WINS from the manager, The Tigers should finish no worse than 92-70 and thats my prediction.
Forget about Cabrera and Verlander, the leadership Kinsler brings will be what puts this team over the top.
You made my day. Thank you.
as he showed today...Kinsler with HR and game winning hit.. Max didnt pitch well at all and throws 8 shutout innings.....Tigers start 2 and 0 and our number three starter who won the ERA title last year goes tomorrow and our MVP hasnt had to carry a bag yet..These wins versus KC will come in handy at the end of year!...LAWDY!
I know baseball.
Huh? Max struggled in the first, but he threw a gem after that.
Now Bill...let's look at his stats. 7 strikeouts 1 walk 8.0 innings pitched. 110 pitches 72 for a strike. 0.00 ERA surrendered a whopping 4 hits. Wonder why Skool doesn't like the outing.
Ausmus 2-2 for on challenges today.
Today's challenge at first base took a while (3 minutes), but I like the system. Why not get it correct if technology allows for it?
Well, Scherzer wants about $30 million per season. That's about a $1 million per start. That first inning was certainly not worthy of $125,000. I see where Old Skool is coming from now.
Two wins in the 9th or later. Love it.
Good stuff Skoo, 20-13 for Max ?
What's interesting about that prediction is Max will get around 33 starts for the season. Roughly 162 games divided by 5 starters... A 20-13 record would indicate that the starter will get credit for all decisions (won or loss). In his first start...he got no decision...
OH YEAH??? who was last player before Miggy to win back to back MV Because I ACTUALLY WATCHED the game. I told yall how I feel about STATS ( Mike "statman" Trout and the Angels are 0-3) Max really fought it out there. My point to his credit was , if thats how he pitches WHEN HE STRUGGLES, imagine when he turns it up. The Butler double play was key.

Last night I saw "Inception." No, it was not a dream, I really did see the movie "Inception." And what a movie it was. Lots of action, lots of intrigue, visually arresting. Without giving anything away, I came out of the movie totally exhausted because it was so hard to keep everything separate.
With all the latest excitement over new TPC-C results, I thought it would be good to reiterate the importance of understanding the differences between separate clustered and single system results.
From the TPC Policies, a cluster is an environment where the database workload is executing on more than one node. A node is one or more processors executing a single instance of an OS and one or more instances of the DBMS. Non-clustered evokes the scale-up model, clustered focuses on scale-out. Both are important. The TPC-C benchmark has both these categories to highlight advances in database scale-out technologies. TPC-C results were split into clustered and non-clustered results because of their differences and complexities. A TPC alert message must include a statement of whether the database is implemented on a cluster - there's a good reason for that. The TPC-C executive summary must include whether the configuration is clustered - there's a good reason for that. Understand exactly what you are doing when you compare clustered and single system TPC-C results. And you wouldn't want to extrapolate from one category to the other. Remember, this is real world and not a dream.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Very strange, I'd find another trainer too. Can you pm me the place?
|I would find another trainer. Don't use any trainer you feel uncomfortable with.
Free "training evaluation" - if that's what you want to call it
Another vent. We had an appointment this morning for a training evaluation at a facility this morning. It was probably one of the most unprofessional (and weirdest) encounters I have had in a long time. We arrived just before the appointment time. There was a private session going on in the field so we walked around for a minute. Some very large man pulls up on a golf cart and asks if he could help me. I explained we had an appointment for an evaluation; we are interested in reinforcing basic obedience and would like to at least get our CGC. He replied "ya I saw you walking around. Dog seems a little inattentive. 2 1-hour sessions a week, $800 month. We can work around your schedule. Should I sign you up?".
Am I crazy for expecting just a little more from the " free evaluation"? The owner has won several titles in Europe according to their website. I did get a bad feeling almost immediately when the trainer conducting the session when I arrived "corrected" the dog so hard it was yelping. Not just one yelp. Seemed like genuine fear to me.
Plan B - our local humane society employs a trainer; not just to work with the shelter pups to make them more adoptable, but he offers private and group sessions as well. We took a puppy class with him - a really nice guy. Time to give him a call.
Anyone else have any encounters like this? Kind of disappointed.

|Puberty: Brain Changes, Strange Changes
Those puberty hormones that are gushing through your body are affecting nearly every part of you, and that includes…your brain! Puberty can be a time of changing emotions and new kinds of thoughts. You might feel like you're on a roller coaster of moods and emotions and just want to get off!!
Hang in there! You're just starting to grow
If you've started puberty, these are some of the things you might be dealing with, brain-wise:
Feeling sensitive. Your body is changing quickly, and you feel weird about it. Maybe you're self-conscious and worried if you're normal. You might feel extra-sensitive to criticism, or teasing, or just about everything. Little things might set you off. You might think that nobody understands you.
Intense emotions. You've felt emotions before, but now you feel really STRONG emotions. Instead of just disliking something, you HATE it. Instead of liking something, you LOVE it. You were a little jealous before, but now you're SUPER jealous. There have been times when you were sad, but now you feel TOTALLY DEPRESSED. In other words, your emotions have gotten more intense.
Mood swings. Your emotions are stronger, and they also switch back and forth more quickly than before. One second you're singing happily, and the next you're crying your eyes out. You might be playing well with your brother, and then you're suddenly screaming at him. These are called mood swings for a reason: just like on a playground swing, one minute you're up, and the next minute you're down.
Unfamiliar emotions. Puberty usually brings a whole new set of emotions you may have never felt before. For instance, when you were little, you probably didn't have romantic feelings…but now you're starting to think differently (and romantically!), a lot more. Hey, it happens. That's part of growing up. For more about this, see our topic on Crushes.
Conflict. As you leave childhood and make your way towards adulthood, you may feel like you need to be independent…to control more of your life and make your own decisions. If you're going through puberty, you may be questioning your family's rules and beliefs, and starting to form opinions that are yours alone. You want to be YOU, and this can lead to conflict with your parents, friends, or just about anyone. Of course, eventually it also leads to you becoming a unique person: your grown-up self.
So, How Do You Cope?
Remember that you're not alone. Things always seem worse if you think you're the only one who feels bad or is dealing with challenges. Well, you're not. Even people who seem like they have it all together are probably struggling with the same feelings you are.
Read about it. One of the best ways to get through tough times is to know exactly what you're going through. Read up on puberty, starting with this It's My Life section. Go to the library for books about puberty, or ask your doctor or school nurse for some pamphlets or booklets. Check out the IML reading list Great Books About Puberty.
Depend on your friends. Talk about what you're feeling with your trusted friends. They may be feeling the same way, or they may know how to help you. At the very least, they might offer support and understanding, or just listen to you…so you can get it all out.
Talk to an adult. It can really help to talk to a parent or guardian who may remember what going through puberty feels like. School counselors, school nurses, and doctors can also listen to what you have to say and give you advice and support.
Express yourself. If you like to write, draw, paint, sing, or play music -- you're lucky that you have these great outlets for letting your feelings out! Even if it's just spilling your guts in a journal or messing around with a guitar, you might be surprised by how good it feels to vent in some creative way.
If you're having trouble with different types of emotions, you can also check out the IML Emotions channel!

I remember doing the old 10 mans. Still consider 40m MC my first raid though.
I remember doing the old 10 mans. Still consider 40m MC my first raid though.
i7 3770K OC @ 4.5Ghz; ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 MOBO; Antec Lanboy Air Black Case; 2X GTX 480 SLI OC @ 800/1500 clocks; 16GB 1866Mhz RAM; 256GB CORSAIR SSD; 2X Phobya DC12-400 Pumps; Koolance 370 r1.1 CPU Block; 2X Heatkiller GPU-X GPU Blocks; Tygon Silver 1/2" ID Tubing; Microreservoir
Firelands was the first raid that i actually did at the appropriate level (though i have been playing since vanilla). Fucking loved that place.
The first big one was MC. Someday back in 2006 I think it was.
It was probably BRD, if I recall correctly.
The first "real" raid was MC. I remember decursing people like a mad man on Lucifron, and he dropped the Arcanist Boots for me! First ever raid and I get an item, got hooked.
Strat, around lvl 55. First real raid - ZG in 1.8.
Real Raid? Molten Core
Fake Raid? Was either BRD or UBRS
Blackwing Descent PUG on my warlock, Won a 359 Caster sword from Trash and Ended up joining the guild i pugged with for the Rest of Cata and First tier of MOP.
Vanilla ZG
I think it was Gruul's Lair (if you can call it a raid), then Kara back in BC. Though I do remember doing ZG as well. I can't really remember what I did first, actually. lol
Naxx in WotLK for a weekly raid quest during 3.3
Normal BWD with a group of guildies who already had experience with it during 4.1.
UBRS, I healed and didn't know I could see more then one group.
Hard to remember but I think it was UBRS or LBRS.
Zul Gurub was my first real raid.
Princesses can kill dragons to rescue knights.
Black Temple. I remember joining in late BC and doing it for the first time. Heck I even remember I struggled finding the way in to the instance due to the weird entrance as I thought it would be on that huge door (silly me but I was new).
Onyxia <3
That girl never gets old.
Professional glass cannon since 2004. I live and die a mage.

Many family historians find hidden amongst the branches of their family trees a connection to the French Protestants who fled their homelands to find religious freedom in England.
A usual place to start your search for these ancestors and to understand the background and reasons for their flight is The Huguenot Society of Great Britain. The site has a family history section as well as a list of their publications and details of their library. I see that an index to the Proceeding & Quarto Series in now online.

Coconut Sap: A Paleo Sweetener
We all know that sugar and Paleo don't really mix well. Most people avoid the Paleo diet like the plague purely because they can't have their sugar on the diet. The only sweets we get on this diet are fruits. I used to think that the only dessert worth having was bready and chocolate-y - certainly not fruity. Maybe if the fruit was accompanied by chocolate. Anyway, all of us who eat on the Paleo spectrum probably indulge in sweets … Continue reading

It's nice to see that you were able to sit down with CCP for a few... very interesting interview. I am not so much of a lore buff myself, but I know a few people who are, and they really appreciate the passion and thought process that goes into the story, such as what Hjalti delivers.
Also good to see that you caught up with Valerie as well. She is by far one of the coolest PR people this Earth has seen.

Beginner Planted Tank.. A few questions pls!
Hi Everyone!
I bought the first fish tank I have had in a long time. I purchased the 2.5 g mini betta aquarium, and the tank is ok. Works alright, and my betta seems to be doing well (purchased whole set up two weeks ago).
I made the mistake of buying the fish and tank without actually researching anything, and of course, the sales person in the petsmart encouraged me to do exactly the opposite of what I should have done. Throw the fish in 5 min after I started the filter! no mention of cycling, and the my favorite, I should only change the water about once in 4 months!
Anyway, I have been doing some research and I am very interested in setting a low tech, non co2 planted tank - probably in a 5 or 10 gallon aquarium. I have been reading so much information, including that fellow sudeep and his excellent step by step instructions. I love the way they look, but have a few questions.
Can I do a DSM with non co2?
I have read so much about subtrate... What should i be using exactly?
Can i purchase used equipment and if so, how should I make sure they are clean and ready to support the plants and fish (Sherman, my betta will surely love this set up!)
Any advice? I am excited to have such a cool project to work on, and would love to have a little advice from someone. I have read quite a few articles, and researched Tom Barr and his commentary on this, but I am still a little confused.
Thank all!
Sheesh. Well, you'll get mostly very good advice here. If you get any bad advice it is likely that another member will spot it and correct it. I can't help you with DSM myself. As for substrates, I am not sure if you mean ones to work with DSM specifically. If you mean generally, there are many good approaches. I would not suggest one over another without knowing what you want to get out of it. They all have their pros and cons. Some are low maintainance, some are high production, others are self sustaining, and some are as expensive as hell. If you did mineralized soil capped with sand I could help a little. I run a bare bottom now because I keep goldfish in it and their waste is unbelieveable. Ease of cleaning is what I want/need most for this tank. The plants are tied to big chunks of driftwood, so I can arrange them in different layouts every day if I feel like it. If I wanted a beautiful high light aquascape complete with a rolling green grasslike "lawn" I would have a very different substrate. Anyway, it is nice to have you in the forum.
Decide what look you like - black sand? white sand? brownish gravel? there are a lot of choices (and prices!) out there.
I have flourite in both tanks. It's what I started with a few years ago and my plants are fine.
I don't run CO2 'cause I didn't want to go that route. I dose liquid ferts 'cause my tank is only a 20L it's not too expensive.
Used equipment is fine although one of the small kits might be easier.
I'm glad you're looking after your betta:)
Thanks all! I was thinking the best subtrate for dsm. If I do dsm should I only use carpeting plants? Is it possible to the dsm and still run the setup without co2?
I'm getting excited to take on this project, but this time I'm going to do my research first! I think Sherman my betta will really love this setup.
Thanks all for your replies!
You can do a DSM then run the set up with no CO2.
If you are buying a used set up with the goal of moving the Betta in right away, make sure you see the set up running. Make sure the tank does not leak, and the filter is running.
Take it down, (bring your own buckets) move to your house and set it up right away.
Add ammonia to test anywhere from 1 ppm to 3 ppm.
Let it run overnight.
How well the ammonia is gone the next day is an indication of how good the biological filtration is.
Bacteria and plants both remove ammonia. If all the ammonia is gone, this is great!
Test also the nitrite.
The bacteria that remove ammonia produce nitrite. If there is nitrite showing then the tank is not fully cycled, or maybe just needs to run a few days to get over being moved.
Plants can remove nitrite, too.
Test nitrate. The bacteria that remove nitrite produce nitrate. If there is a lot of ammonia to start with, then it ends up getting turned into a lot of nitrate.
Plants can remove nitrate, too.
Here are the three possibilities, the day after you have added ammonia:
1) No ammonia, no nitrite. GREAT! Add the Betta!
2) Ammonia still there, no nitrite: Not so great. Plants and bacteria are not up to dealing with the amount of ammonia that would be produced by the fish. Do the fishless cycle.
3) Ammonia partially gone, and some nitrite showing: Not so good. The bacteria are enough alive to turn some ammonia into nitrite, but the nitrite removing bacteria are not up to removing the nitrite. Do the fishless cycle.
Here is the fishless cycle.
Note that with plants, they may not like very much ammonia. Maybe just add ammonia to 1 ppm, but do this twice a day until the tank is cycled.
Fishless Cycle
You too can boast that "No fish were harmed in the cycling of your new tank"
Cycling a tank means to grow the beneficial bacteria that will help to decompose the fish waste (especially ammonia). These bacteria need ammonia to grow. There are 3 sources of ammonia that work to do this. One is fish. Unfortunately, the process exposes the fish to ammonia, which burns their gills, and nitrite, which makes their blood unable to carry oxygen. This often kills the fish.
Another source is decomposing protein. You could cycle your tank by adding fish food or a dead fish or shellfish. You do not know how much beneficial bacteria you are growing, though.
The best source of ammonia is... Ammonia. In a bottle.
Using fish is a delicate balance of water changes to keep the toxins low (try not to hurt the fish) but keep feeding the bacteria. It can take 4 to 8 weeks to cycle a tank this way, and can cost the lives of several fish. When you are done you have grown a small bacteria population that still needs to be nurtured to increase its population. You cannot, at the end of a fish-in cycle, fully stock your tank.
The fishless/ammonia cycle takes as little as 3 weeks, and can be even faster, grows a BIG bacteria population, and does not harm fish in any way.
Both methods give you plenty of practice using your test kit.
How to cycle a tank the fishless way:
1) Make sure all equipment is working, fill with water that has all the stuff you will need for the fish you intend to keep. Dechlorinator, minerals for GH or KH adjustments, the proper salt mix, if you are creating a brackish or marine tank. These bacteria require a few minerals, so make sure the GH and KH is at least 3 German degrees of hardness. Aquarium plant fertilizer containing phosphate should be added if the water has no phosphate. They grow best when the pH is in the 7s. Good water movement, fairly warm (mid to upper 70sF), no antibiotics or other toxins.
2) (Optional)Add some source of the bacteria. Used filter media from a cycled tank is best, gravel or some decorations or a few plants... even some water, though this is the poorest source of the beneficial bacteria.
Bacteria in a bottle can be a source of these bacteria, but make sure you are getting Nitrospira spp of bacteria. All other 'bacteria in a bottle' products have the wrong bacteria. This step is optional. The proper bacteria will find the tank even if you make no effort to add them. Live plants may bring in these bacteria on their leaves and stems.
3) Add ammonia until the test reads 5 ppm. This is the non-sudsing, no surfactants, no-fragrance-added ammonia that is often found in a hardware store, discount stores, and sometimes in a grocery store. The concentration of ammonia may not be the same in all bottles. Try adding 5 drops per 10 gallons, then allowing the filter to circulate for about an hour, then test. If the reading isn't up to 5 ppm, add a few more drops and test again. (Example, if your test reads only 2 ppm, then add another 5 drops) Some ammonia is such a weak dilution you may need to add several ounces to get a reading.
4) Test for ammonia daily, and add enough to keep the reading at 5 ppm. You probably will not have to add much, if any, in the first few days, unless you added a good amount of bacteria to jump start the cycle.
5) Several days after you start, begin testing for nitrites. When the nitrites show up, reduce the amount of ammonia you add so the test shows 3ppm. (Add only half as much ammonia as you were adding in part 4) Add this reduced amount daily from now until the tank is cycled.
If the nitrites get too high (over 5 ppm), do a water change. The bacteria growth is slowed because of the high nitrites. Reducing the level of ammonia to 3 ppm should prevent the nitrite from getting over 5 ppm.
6) Continue testing, and adding ammonia daily. The nitrates will likely show up about 2 weeks after you started. Keep monitoring, and watch for 0 ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite and rising nitrates.
7) Once the 0 ppm ammonia and nitrites shows up it may bounce around a little bit for a day or two. Be patient. Keep adding the ammonia; keep testing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
When it seems done you can challenge the system by adding more than a regular dose of ammonia, and the bacteria should be able to remove the ammonia and nitrite by the next day.
If you will not be adding fish right away continue to add the ammonia to keep the bacteria fed.
8) When you are ready to add the fish, do at least one water change, and it may take a couple of them, to reduce the nitrate to safe levels (as low as possible, certainly below 10 ppm) I have seen nitrate approaching 200 ppm by the end of this fishless cycle in a non-planted tank.
9) You can plant a tank that is being cycled this way at any point during the process. If you plant early, the plants will be well rooted, and better able to handle the disruption of the water change.
Yes, the plants will use some of the ammonia and the nitrates. They are part of the nitrogen handling system, part of the biofilter, they are working for you. Some plants do not like high ammonia, though. If a certain plant dies, remove it, and only replace it after the cycle is done.
10) The fishless cycle can also be used when you are still working out the details of lighting, plants and other things. If you change the filter, make sure you keep the old media for several weeks or a month. Most of the bacteria have been growing in this media (sponges, floss etc).
Thanks Diana!
I am looking at purchasing a 5g chi off of Kijiji, and the lady has emptied to prepare for sale. I have asked to add some water so that I can make sure there are no leaks or cracks, and am most likely going to change the filter and the lighting system. I love the shape of the tank but I have not heard great things about the standard equipment that comes along with this.
Sherman the betta is liking his little tank, so he will stay there until the new tank is up and running which I think will probably be some time from now. I would like to plant this tank and run it non co2 low light so will probably start to look for the appropriate equipment. If anyone can recommend a filter and light that goes along with this, that would be very much appreciated.
I have some what of an idea of plants I should be using, or at leas have access to where I can find that list in this forum.
I just have to figure out the subtrate and where to get the plants I would like to grow and I am ready to start setting this up.
I am guessing it will be 6 weeks or so until I add water and fish? Again, any recommendation to an appropriate filter and lighting system for a 5g chi for low tech non co2 would be appreciated! I can't wait to play show and tell!

Today I'm broadcasting from a sweet spot in the Grampians National Park, western Victoria. The museum is conducting a fauna survey with Parks Victoria here over the next two weeks. It's spectacular countryside and this blog is the start of the stories from the trip that will involve over 60 museum staff and associates, including the Melbourne Herbarium and Field Naturalists Club of Victoria.
Here's how the trip started and the first few days of excitement, diary style. Stay in touch for more updates, photos of critters, or leave us comments if you have questions. We will be in touch when the internet reception comes good again.
9 days to go – 10.30am. Meet and greet with Parks Victoria rangers to discuss schedules.
6 days to go – 3.30pm. Final planning meeting at Museum Victoria.
1 day to go – 10.27am. Purchase 1 FME-Sierra cable, 1 FME-SMA adaptor, 1 male SMA-female SMA plug (for remote internet access). To think that ten years ago the nearest communication on a trip like this would have been a telephone booth on a highway in the nearest town 50 kilometres away.
1 day to go – 11.23pm. Throw some survival stuff on the floor for packing in the morning.
Last minute packing for the field trip. Image: Blair PatulloSource: Museum Victoria
Day 1 – 12.23pm. On route, traditional field trip greasy burger for lunch. Delish.
Day 1 – 4.14pm. Arrive at camping site, first wildlife sighted. A skink. I'm not a herpetologist so cannot tell the species.
Day 1 – 10.03pm. Mayhem in the mess hall. First collection has brought back scorpions. Look at the photo below to see how many scientists it takes to be amazed by a scorpion as it fluoresces under UV light! Similar scorpions live in backyards around Melbourne, occassionally entering houses. Usually the smaller scorpion species have more powerful stings because the larger species can overpower prey with their larger claws. The museum's Live Exhibits catcher, Colin, said: "I haven't been stung by this species, but a smaller one did get me once and that was a bit painful."
How many scientists does it take to watch a glowing scorpion? Image: Blair PatulloSource: Museum Victoria
This species glows under UV light from a torch. Why this happens is still a mystery. Image: Heath WarwickSource: Museum Victoria
Day 2 – 8.30am. Another safety briefing closely followed by research teams departing and dispersing to areas across the park. Mammal specialists are checking trap lines, bird observers are out with sound recording equipment, and a group is surveying snails.
Day 2 – 2.52pm. The divers get wet in a remote part of the MacKenzie River in the north-west of the park. Our Parks Victoria guide Ryan Duffy stops our vehicles by the roadside, seemingly in the middle of nowhere with no water in sight. We walk for about 100 metres into the forest, dodging the understory of bracken, wattle, and eucalypts still with trunks partly singed black from the 2006 fire. We arrive at a narrow section of the river and Ryan tells us that three platypus have been reported from here. There were no platypus today but the diving was amazing – freshwater sponges, crayfish, native fish and several species of nymphs and larvae were recorded.
One of the locals: a freshwater gudgeon. Image: Mark NormanSource: Museum Victoria
This little alien is a nymph that will grow into a dragonfly. Image: Mark NormanSource: Museum Victoria
Day 2 – 10.07pm. It's well dark now, but the second day isn't over. We're preparing for 30 degree temperatures tomorrow and the frog team just left to see who's calling-out tonight.
Closing thoughts for the day: this is definitely a place to check shoes for creepy crawlies in the morning before putting them on, and forget checking for redbacks under the toilet seat because the massive bull ants will bite before them.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Updates on what's happening at Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum, Scienceworks, the Royal Exhibition Building, and beyond.
Kitty, just a small correction to your story. It appears that our family was on the same trip. My memory is that we arrived in Melbourne on 8 December, the la...

What if cities could improve services for their citizens without increasing costs? Cities are complex organizations, with numerous departments in charge of a wide range of essential functions, from water management to public safety. Collaboration across those groups is critical for addressing crises, successfully completing projects and enhancing the efficiency of daily operations.
IBM Intelligent Operations Center for Smarter Cities offers a centralized, real-time collaborative environment for planning, organizing, monitoring and sharing information across city departments and agencies. It processes data feeds and event information from individual departments and then presents that information in a citywide view.
In the event of a large-scale emergency, an official at a disaster site can assess the situation and send a report to the operations room via a web-based portal while simultaneously learning that more rescue personnel are on the way. Meanwhile, agency representatives can view report details together, begin communicating instantly and start developing a recovery plan. Collaboration capabilities help accelerate resolution of problems, reduce the impact of crises and minimize the resources needed for getting work done.

Air Travel and Paleo
Packing up to go somewhere cool? I just did. The airport for Paleo people (or anyone who's concerned for their health) is not exactly ideal. It's not like it's impossible to get a Paleo meal in an airport, but you'll probably end up making some compromises if you do. You could get a burger with no bun, but is it going to be factory-farmed meat that you're eating? And will you really pass up the super sized fries? You could … Continue reading

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Pwn Toney, Apr 21, 2007.
You silly man. You practically own the chat. But ahb and I came up with the hyperbolic zone.
From what I have seen in Chic Ben has mainly been used as a bit player, a tanglible player. A lot like Michael Curry. Its still not too late. You can actually enjoy this playoff run with the rest of us. Pistons are going to beat the Bulls.
Invoking the name of one #12 will not assist you in making the completely absurd notion that there was some form of parallel between Big Ben and one M. Curry. I'll enjoy my playoff run from right where I am, sir.
I love you guys. Seriously.
and THAT, sir, is a crime for which you shall never be forgiven....NEVER!!!
C'mon Low. Leave the past behind. Ben got what he wanted and he is where he wants to be. Same for LB. Get back on the bandwagon my friend. Name me 1 other team that performs better on the road and better in crunch time? We have a great team here that has peaked at just the right time. Pistons in 5.
I don't know about completely.... 6 games against the Heat- 4 Blocked shots total But not for lack of trying right? Wrong. Averaged less than 3 fouls per as well. In fact, if you take away the one game in which Ben gave the slightest impression of his standard effort (IMO): Ben averages .2 blocks per game over a 5 game stretch. This is key for me considering that the Heat were entering the paint with reckless abandon and scoring at will. However, I will concede that this is subjective. It is just the foundation of my feelings about Bens effort combined with the body language I saw from him out on the floor last year.
Again, this goes back to Saunders' strategy of double and triple teaming Shaq. If Ben is one of 2 or 3 people on Shaq and he dumps the ball off to a cutter for a layup/dunk...unless the transporter has been invented, there's no way Ben can be in two places at once. Additionally, Ben has always been able to block shots without fouling (hence 4 DPOY awards) so using his lack of fouls as proof of lack of effort doesn't really make sense to me. At the end of the day, you're welcome to your opinion. Yet, Flip himself has said as recently as yesterday that it's his job to put the players in the best position to be successful. As far as I am concerned he did not do this when he had Ben Wallace on his roster and the 5 years of Ben Wallace basketball before his arrival are all the evidence I require.
The past is behind...however, in my book that doesn't mean that embracing a flawed approach is progress. There are ways this team could maintain a defensive focus without resigning Wallace and rehiring Brown. I said it earlier, we have to be the only team in NBA history to win a title and then promptly be jedi mind tricked into thinking that WE have to adjust to the rest of the league. My grievances aren't with the past, they are with the present. If this team proves to me that they won't repeat all the bad habits I've seen from them all year (which is just what they did on their way to elimination last year), then I'll be the first one in here to tell you I was wrong. That doesn't make me a Bulls fan. It just makes me unwilling to eat the "cornbread" ©2006 WDFN. As for your team that executes better in crunch time.....San Antonio Spurs. They may not win it. But, one thing they do is step on your neck and don't screw around with teams that aren't as good as them.
Can we play 5 on 4 when BBeen is in there?
Here is my argument for why Flip Saunders has not ignored defense. 2005-06 season The Pistons allowed 103 points per 100 possessions. The other team shot an eFG% of .478 We blocked 7.6% of shot attempts The Pistons caused turnovers on 15% of opponent possessions 2006-07 season The Pistons allowed 104 points per 100 possessions. The other team shot an eFG% of .478 We blocked 7.4% of shot attempts The Pistons caused turnovers on 16% of opponent possessions Our only real problem was that our offense got worse this year, which was due to our lower eFG%. I did not break it out since Webber though, so these numbers include the Nazr games too. We also had some absences by Billups, Rip, Webber, and Sheed, which was not the case last year. Also, you could argue that we weren't pushing for wins as hard this year and tried to incorporate the bench more.
Well, strictly going by the numbers there is a visible trend away from the defensive strengths this team showed under LB. The true test of the defensive presense is NOT from Saunders 1st year until this year...it's BEFORE Saunders arrived to this year as follows: Under Larry Brown (Opp PPG = 86.9) 2003-2004 Season The Pistons allowed 84.3 PPG The other team shot 41.3% The other team gave up 14.7 TO/game the other team avg'd 40.7 reb/game Stls 8.0 Blks 7.0 Reb 42.8 2004-2005 Season The Pistons allowed 89.5 PPG The other team shot 43% The other team gave up 13.1 TO/game the other team avg'd 39.6 reb/game Stls 7.0 Blks 6.1 Reb 43.4 Under Flip Saunders (Opp PPG = 91.0) 2005-2006 Season The Pistons allowed 90.2 PPG The other team shot 45.2% The other team gave up 13.0 TO/game the other team avg'd 40.9 reb/game Stls 7.1 Blks 6.0 Reb 40.5 2006-2007 The Pistons allowed 91.8 PPG The other team shot 44.5% The other team gave up 13.9 TO/game the other team avg'd 41.2 reb/game Stls 7.1 Blks 5.8 Reb 40.5 While Opp turnovers were highlighted during LB's first season, there is essentially an increase of 4 ppg by our opponents and also a slight increase in our opponent's FG% (2-3%) which came from teams getting easier shots in the lane more often. Our steals, blocks, and rebounds are also showing a trend of decline after Saunders arrival which tells me that the more he gets "comfortable" with implementing his system and running it his way, we will continue to get worse defensively over the life of his tenure.
I personally think those numbers are not going to be cut and dry when you consider the extra years of age our guys have put behind them and perhaps more importantly the legislated change in the way the game was called for the championship winning Pistons team versus the teams of today. Some of the best man defenders before the rules change aren't quite as prolific as they used to be, and that hurt the way LB had us playing ball. Were the Pistons a better defensive team then? Of course; nevertheless, 4 years is and awfully long time for guys knocking down 30.
I'd like to see the statistical difference between LB and Flip when it comes to offense.
Do you by any chance have league wide stats as a comparator to indicate the general trend or comparison to another good club the Spurs?
I could put that together for you, but it was already mid-night when I jumped into this one. I'll see what I can do after work today.
Maybe, but there is no argument that Saunders altered this teams approach to the game. We can bend the numbers all year long, but what really makes the difference is how you approach the game and your overall strategy. Regardless of age, if you have the personnel to play a certain style and then you abandon that style halfway through the tenure of that core group, you are less likely to experience the same level of success no matter how well you execute.
Here is some results from my data mining: All of these stats are per 100 possessions, so that we can compare the Pistons to the Spurs and also to prior seasons. Pistons Year/ Off / Def/ Diff/ Coach 06-07/ 109/ 104/ +5/ Flip 05-06/ 111/ 103/ +8/ Flip 04-05/ 105/ 101/ +4/ LB 03-04/ 103/ 96/ +7/ LB 02-03/ 107/ 103/ +4/ Cola Spurs Year/ Off / Def/ Diff/ Coach 06-07/ 110/ 101/ +9/ Pop 05-06/ 108/ 100/ +8/ Pop 04-05/ 108/ 99/ +9/ Pop 03-04/ 104/ 96/ +8/ Pop 02-03/ 107/ 101/ +6/ Pop So, what is the conclusion? I don't think Popovich has abandoned his defensive focus, and yet the Spurs are allowing 5 more points per 100 possessions than they were in 03-04. They are also scoring 6 more points themselves. From LB's first year to his second, we saw a 5 point slide in our own defense, even though he was still focusing on it. There was a little more slide with Flip, but it is similar to the continued slide of the Spurs defense. So, maybe Flip is holding our D constant and the rules are to blame. It's like adjusting for inflation. But, our offense has exploded with our best years in the last 5. Whatever he is doing, it is resulting is a bigger point spread, which should be the goal.
How much of that is due to people's natural resistance to change (on both sides)? Unfortunately, teams were forced to abandon LB's style. I just about spit up my Cheerios hearing about how Popovich has adopted a Zone strategy in anticipation of playing a team like Phoenix in the playoffs. It's not full blown Saunders type stuff I'm sure, but even he has finally acknowledged that the philosophy has some merit to it. I'm not sure how realistic it would have been to expect Flip to not have different views. Flip and LB probably make a grilled cheese sandwich differently as well. In the end you still have two grilled cheese sandwiches. The funny part is that the Pistons team of two years ago would most likely prefer whichever sandwich they thought was Larry Brown's to Flip's, even if the same ingredients were used. Aren't fans kind of like that as well? I miss LB. I miss Ben. But if this years Pistons can learn from last years mistakes and win the title...I'll miss them less. I really missed reading some of you guy's stuff. Your different perspectives and points of view are very refreshing.
This is what a good team does for its fans...........................

14th annual Treasure of Detroit Gala to be held at DIA March 26
DETROIT (Jan. 20, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School Dean Robert M. Ackerman, the Wayne Law Board of Visitors and the Wayne Law Alumni Association are pleased to announce that the 14th annual Treasure of Detroit Gala will be held at 5:30-10 p.m. on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

|Students Visit Alumni in New York City
|Madison Square Garden, Colgate-Palmolive, Macys and Facebook all have offices in New York City.
So do G2 Worldwide, Consolidated Carpet and VNS Choice.
And all have Ithaca College graduates working for them, who are happy to host visiting students and explain about job and internship opportunities and industry trends.
Twenty-two top students in marketing and management/international business spent two days in March visiting these and four other companies in a New York City trip arranged by the School of Business professional development coordinator, Jessie Stone He, and its alumni and corporate relations coordinator, Stephane Jean-Baptiste.
At all 11 companies, students met with human resources, recruiting and marketing managers and alumni with titles such as coordinator of team sales, group account director, president and CEO, vice president of marketing and vice president of human resources.
"Opportunities like this are extremely rare, and I'm so happy I was able to take advantage of it," said Benjamin Smith '13, a marketing major.
"Being able to see the real culture, makeup of the offices and the interactions between employees really helped me get the most out of this trip. I was able to see the kind of companies I would like to work for. Many of those companies I never would have considered applying for unless I went on this trip to see them in person."
The inside perspective on each company was invaluable, said Anna Isachenko '14, an international business and management major: "You are able to envision yourself working at the sites you visit and truly understand if this is what you want to pursue. I felt empowered by meeting different representatives because they all offered a sense of hope and actual opportunities."
Speakers also imparted wisdom that the students appreciated.
"One of my favorite parts of the visit was hearing over and over again that 'If you feel that you are not learning anymore, it's time to move on,' " said Gizem Kocak '16.
At every stop, speakers stressed the value of networking.
"It made me realize that networking is the most important aspect of getting a job and therefore I will be able to attend a lot more of the networking events," said Sophie Beckerman '14, a marketing major.
"I began networking at this event. It made it easier knowing some people around you and that this was the sole purpose for you being there. The presenters' encouragement to network and hearing their stores have made me decide that my career choice is for me. Seeing it in action as we visited each of these firms is how I made that decision," said Alice Lainez '15, a dual major in accounting and integrated marketing communications.
"The opportunity to participate in trips such as this, where students visit a number of companies and hear advice on how to get jobs and to succeed once they have positions, is invaluable," said Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman. "We are grateful to our alumni who host our students and provide great role models."
The 11 companies were selected based on what students were interested in, where internship and job opportunities existed and where IC has strong alumni connections, said Stone He. Several of the companies immediately followed up with internship opportunities for her office to promote and several students have interviewed with some of the companies, she added.
Among the hosts were David Meberg '85, president and CEO of Consolidated Carpet; Chris Palmieri '96, president of VNS Choice Health Plans; and Michael Kaplan '85, group account director at G2 Worldwide, a global brand activation network.

text: I guess that is my point. Some players in the league get every call. Rodney has established a reputation for forcing contact and doesn't even get the calls he deserves. Can something like that be changed or does he have to start playing on eggshells. Sometimes I think our players don't get the benefit of a friendly whistle just because they play for Detroit. There have been plenty of times over the years when one of our free agents that came from another team looks at the refs after a call like "you gave me that call last year in Chicago; what's up?"

How am I supposed to teach econ class after the students see this video?
I dare you to take Lucas's biggest contributions and make a video explaining why he does not understand economics. If you don't fancy Lucas then I dare you to take Sargent's work and explain to him why he does not understand economics.
You still think I'm Alex. Told you I'm a TF that needs letters from Profs. If you think that you are daring Alex then do you really think he would be afraid to do that if he had something to say? Isn't the Lucas critique one of the things that made him so famous? Anything like the Gheg critique? What's a bigger problem? blasting forecasting to other PhDs or showing every student that no economist knows what quality and convenience are?
Mark bils is a god.
According to the people on this site, this god used a CES utlity function to measure quality growth. How does it show up in there? Some mysterious variable called "q" which is something that people demand when they have higher incomes. What is "q" when they face two endowment choices in Alex's video. Option A or B. If you understand "q" then you should use it to explain why EVERYONE picks option A in the real world.
combine this with http://thedangerouseconomist.blogspot.com/2012/02/ethics-of-incentives.html
from the comments section:
MrIlir said...
I could never keep the difference between ethics and morality straight, but I've got a dilema for an economics professor. Suppose the logical flaws of consumer theory, which is the foundation of the framework, can easily be demonstrated in a short video. Would any show it to the class? What if the video showed a single equation that ties it all together, that is quantity, quality, variety and convenience. Is it impossible to measure utility? Alex Gheg, a former PhD econ student at the U. of Rochester, will shock you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c4mvGekYZY
February 20, 2012 1:39 PM
apparently this guy is a seasoned troll:
Good to know that UofR expects you to understand lexiographic preferences in order to get a PhD.
Is Rochester bad? Bils is there isn't he?
stop it dude. you have been outed.
I wish I knew what you guys have to gain from non stop accusations. Someone else posted Alex's links in econ blogs. Why doesn't he get an accusation? Why does he keep searching for Alex? I saw the Krugman link. BTW the reposted link from him advertises his equation. What if he really has found something important? Has he already ruined himself?
Actual Rochester grad student here.
Good. Then you can please ask Mark Bils about his quality paper and ask him if he knows what quality is beyond putting a "q" in an equation. If an economist can't answer these things then isn't econ theory just applied amateur math?
What's your *actual* beef with Mark Bils? A fine economist I'm sure, but his "quality" paper you reference is not all that widely cited and it's only a decade old. Yet you repeatedly refer to it as a "classic." What undergrad even knows that paper? Did Bils boot you out of Rochester? If so, this is an awfully weird way to get back at him. And did you honestly think your arguments would gain traction here?
And why do you talk as if the #1 purpose of the economics profession is to come up with a watertight definition of quality? Hell, I don't even have a definition of "economics."
Your arguments were better-reasoned in the JSTOR thread.

The mayor of Lahasa, Doje Cezhug, assured the world the so-called demonstrations in his city were caused by a handful of monks working in coordination with some lawless elements connected to the Dalai clique. However, it appears the "handful" has been able to stir up thousands of Tibetans who marched and demonstrated in Lhasa as well as in other cities in provinces such as Sichuan, Qinghai, and Gansun. Initial reports indicate at least 80 people are dead and dozens more wounded as monks and other protestors torched police stations and attacked scores of business establishments. A resident of Aba county in Sichuan said he witnessed a clash between monks and armed police which resulted in the death of at least one policeman while police vehicles were burned,
Monks are leading many of the demonstrations and the Dalai Lama warned the world a process of "cultural genocide" as now taking place in his homeland as Chinese authorities are clamping down on protestors. It appears there has been extensive torching of Chinese run businesses and some reports of beating of Chinese nationals in Lhasa. An apparent fury of latent anger has burst through years of being compelled to remain silent.
Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, announced his opposition to any form of boycott which would "penalize innocent athletes." Which comes first, innocent Tibetans or innocent athletes?

We are living in the 21st century, but to some scholars in Turkey the theory of evolution is just that– some silly theory that is propogated by people in the West in order to prove they know more than people in Turkey. The nation's top science agency pulled its own magazine cover because it featured a story about Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Huseyin Celik, education minister, said, "evolutionary theory overlaps with atheism, creationism, with religious belief. Given that polls show only 1 percent of Turks are atheists, not teaching creationism claims in biology classes would be tantamount to censorship."
Dr. Cigdem Atakuman, editor in chief was fired because of her opposition to pulling the cover. In reality, polls indicate barely one fourth of Turks believe in anything akin to evolution, which, in itself is not shocking, given how many Americans want creationism taught in public schools. The damage to Turkey's image arose from having a prestigious institution caught in this embarrassing mess of trying to deny a scientific concept.

Rana Karimzadeh during her three years in Sweden has become a focal point in the fight to defend the rights of Muslim women, activities that have resulted in considerable hostility among Iranian fundamentalists. However, this fighter for women rights has been denied a Swedish resident permit on grounds returning an opponent of fundamentalism will face no consequence in Iran! Her request to stay was dealt a blow when the Migration Board denied it on grounds her struggle to protect Muslim female rights and opposition to imam education in Islamic schools in Sweden will apparently not upset Iranian clerics. A supporter, Anders Finstrom noted: "the court's ruling is completely wrong. It's extremely dangerous for Rana Karimzadeh to return to Iran."
The Iranian government has been jailing feminist leaders in their country and certainly would place Ms. Karimzadeh in that category. She knows full well "I'm expecting to be punished for my opinions and my political activity." What do these complacent Europeans believe is happening in Iran?

I just got a T-visor from Bobamaker and I'm trying to figure out the best way to install it.
I have a DP 95' and I have cut away the original visor and cleaned it all up.
The main problem is, the T-visor is very thick and does not flex.
There is also very limited room to glue or mount any kind of bracket.
Has anyone accomplished this? Please let me know how you did it.
