E O. Matthiessen: The Teacher As Creative Spirit
June/july 1982 | Volume 33, Issue 4
And always, he taught. He was not Mr. Chips. He could be sour, obscure, petulant, and confusing; he could spend an hour arguing back and forth with himself, for teaching and learning never parted company in his mind. But when he was working well, he could change people's lives. Alfred Kazin remembers him speaking on Eliot's The Waste Land: "I have never seen a lecture audience so moved, so happily aware that it was in contact with a man at his best, and whose greatest urge was to share with us the things he loved. All that could be so wonderful in Matty flashed out upon our … group that afternoon, binding us together in rever-ence for the creative spirit, transcending our nominal political differences—and all through his love of the poem, through the solemnity, the dignity, the marvelous inwardness with which he read. He was really free that day. …"
But he was not often really free. Even his good friends rarely saw him relaxed, and when the painter Russell Cheney, with whom he shared a vacation house in Maine, died in 1945, Matthiessen lost his one truly close companion. His spirits revived briefly in 1947 when, teaching in Prague, he sensed a growing flow of amity between East and West; but within a year the communists had taken over and his friend Jan Masaryk was dead.
By the time the mean-spirited decade of the 1950's began, Harvard and his students seemed to have changed; he was forty-nine, and the institution to which he'd given his life and his fervor had turned cautious and chilly.
On the evening of April 1, 1950, he asked the desk clerk at the Manger Hotel in downtown Boston for "a nice airy room." He was given one on the twelfth floor. There he wrote a note: "I am exhausted. … I can no longer believe that I can continue to be of use to my profession and my friends. I hope that my friends will be able to believe that I still love them in spite of this desperate act.
"Please notify … ,"and he named a few old friends. Spurred by the intense concern that had both tormented him and made it possible for him to be the teacher he was, he went back to the note and after "Please notify" inserted the words "but not until morning." Then he turned toward the window and death.

So this is not just about breeding cheetahs but increasing the diversity as well.
Yes, and maintaining the populations that exist in the wild.
How do you know if the insemination "took"?
Well, cheetahs actually undergo fetal pregnancy, similar to dogs, and so their progesterone levels—which is the hormone associated with pregnancy—will be increased until day 60 to 65, no matter what, whether they're pregnant or not. And the entire gestation is only about 93 days on average, so that doesn't leave us much window at the end. You know, the third trimester. So the last 30 days is really the only indication where you can look at progesterone levels and see if they're still elevated, which is certainly a good sign but also physically the girls will start looking pregnant. They'll start looking different. Usually around day 65 you'll start to see nipple development and you'll start to see a belly and from then on she should just continue to get bigger and put on weight and she'll start to look more and more pregnant.
So there's not a lot of time to prepare the baby room, so to speak.
No, there's really not, but I think we're going to set it up anyway so it will all be ready to go no matter what and we'll have our bases covered.
When do you hope to hear the pitter patter of little cheetah feet?
Um, their due dates will be right around May 18th.
Was there a rationale for choosing February 14th as the insemination date?
Um, well, uh—It was mostly due to travel schedules of the people doing the procedures. It just kind of happened to fall on that day, but we thought it was—it was kind of cute as well, but it was on Valentine's Day.
Yeah, thought that was romantic, in a way. Even though I'm not too sure how romantic that all really feels for the cheetahs. How often do you hope to do artificial inseminations at the facility?
That will depend on which females we have in our facility in the future—and not every female will be an ideal candidate for artificial insemination. The two girls we have now actually are perfect candidates because they're a bit older but they're still within the window of the most efficient breeding years. So, three to eight years of age for females are the most efficient breeding years just based on records from natural breeding success in the studbook. Also they had both had litters already before, which makes them better candidates for getting pregnant again.

Suspect arrested in deadly Miss. highway shootings
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Police have arrested a suspect in two fatal highway shootings in Mississippi that prompted warnings a fake officer might be pulling over victims.
Authorities said early Friday that the fears of an impostor turned out to be unfounded. Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain told The Associated Press that the suspect, James D. Willie, 28, had not been posing as a police officer in the shootings.
Willie was being held on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and rape and would be formally charged with two counts of capital murder, Strain said.
Willie was being held at the Tunica County jail in north Mississippi.
Willie was arrested Tuesday morning when authorities responded to a disturbance at an apartment. Tunica police found Willie with a woman who claimed he had raped her, a news release said. When Willie was arrested, authorities found a 9mm Ruger in his possession. Ballistic testing later found that it was the same gun used in the two highway shootings, authorities said.
Strain said Willie is a convicted felon, but he did not have details about his previous arrests.
Thomas Schlender, 74, of Raymond, Neb., was found dead in his car on Interstate 55 in Panola County on May 8 around 1:30 a.m. Lori Anne Carswell, 48, of Hernando, Miss. was found dead near her car on Mississippi Highway 713 in nearby Tunica County about 2:15 a.m. on May 11.
Strain said authorities developed several theories during the investigation and one of those was that someone could be posing as an officer to pull people over because there was no apparent reason for the victims to pull over.
"If we're going to err, we're going to err on the side of public safety," Strain said. "The fact is that we got him off the street and people can go back to a level of comfort."
Gov. Phil Bryant and Mississippi Public Safety Commissioner Albert Santa Cruz said in a statement early Friday that investigators spent hundreds of hours working the case and the state Bureau of Investigation and state crime lab used all the resources it had available.
"Our citizens have been terrorized by these murders and we worked tirelessly to resolve them," Santa Cruz said.
Strain said it's too early in the investigation to release details of how or why the motorists were on the side of the roads. He also declined to give a possible motive for the shootings.
Carswell just left work from Fitzgerald's Casino, also known as the Fitz Casino, in Tunica County when she was killed, authorities have said. Schlender was driving from Nebraska to Florida to pick up his grandson, authorities said.
Shell casings were found at the scene of both shootings, authorities have said.

The Artful Year :: Celebrating the Seasons and Holidays with Arts and Crafts
A four part eBook series:
- The Artful Spring
- The Artful Summer
- The Artful Autumn
- The Artful Winter
**Update August 1, 2014 :: These eBooks are no longer available for sale.**
In our home, we celebrate the seasons and holidays through art, crafts, and cooking together.
We mix the familiar (gingerbread cookies) with the unique and creative (stained glass garlands) and we're always trying out new ideas and combinations.
Celebrating the seasons and holidays is a traditional way to embrace creativity together as a family, and the reverse is true as well: engaging in arts and crafts as a family is a fun way of decorating, preparing for, and learning about the holidays we celebrate.
So instead of buying all of our decorations and materials, we prefer to take the time to make our holidays more enjoyable and meaningful by doing at least some of it ourselves.
The rewards?
Memories and mementos, creative growth in our children and ourselves, stronger family bonds, and lots of fun!
In The Artful Year: Celebrating the Seasons & Holidays with Family Arts and Crafts, I share my ideas for simple, family-friendly crafting through the seasons and holidays, with one book for each season.
Here's what you'll find in each of the four books:
- ARTS and CRAFTS, using the materials, colors, and themes of the season
- DECORATIONS to make as a family
- Favorite SEASONAL RECIPES that are fun for children to help make (and eat)
- IDEAS FOR CELEBRATING the holidays together
- CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOKS about the seasons and holidays
Please join me in crafting and celebrating around the year!
The Artful Year: Celebrating the Seasons & Holidays with Family Arts and Crafts
4 eBooks FILLED with Family-Friendly Crafts, Recipes & Activities!
**Update August 1, 2014 :: These eBooks are no longer available for sale.**
NOTE: After July 31st, The Artful Year eBooks will no longer be available for sale. The traditionally published paper book version will be available in February 2015. There will be lots of wonderful new additions at that time, however, due to size and expense and just the general nature of publishing, there will be some subtractions as well—most notably in the number of photographs. If you want a digital copy to refer to between now and then (I especially love having the recipes on my iPad) or want the full complement of step-by-step photographs, grab the eBooks now while they are still available.

Folding and Unfolding
Eric Demaine (MIT) and Joseph O'Rourke (Smith College) recently wrote an amazing book called Folding and Unfolding. This volume charts a large array of geometrical and combinatorial questions associated with linkages, polygons, and polyhedra. Although some of the formal proofs are very complex the problems themselves are very easy to state and understand. This talk will deal with a tiny aspect of their book: Alexandrov's Theorem. This theorem provides the circumstances under which a plane simple polygon can be folded to a convex polyhedron (or in some "degenerate" cases to a double covered polygon). This talk will allow attendees to experience Alexandrov's Theorem for themselves by making convex polyhedra from convex polygons using no more than cardboard (stiff paper) and transparent (plastic) tape. The extra dividend is that nearly any question one might ask about the phenomena one observes here is unsolved!

This talk will be self-contained. No prior knowledge is required.
Refreshments will be served.

Former POW Jessica Lynch tours Phoebe Sumter
Wed, 20 Jun 2012 16:15:00 GMT —
Former POW Jessica Lynch made a visit to southwest Georgia as she toured Phoebe Sumter Medical Center Wednesday morning
Lynch was in the area not only to tour Phoebe Sumter, but to also act as the keynote speaker for the Sumter County Boys & Girls Club Annual Steak & Stake fundraiser Tuesday night.
Lynch said that "this is definitely one of the most impressive hospitals I have ever seen" of the Phoebe Sumter facility which opened after a tornado destroyed the old hospital in March 2007.
Lynch words meant a lot to the hospital, "For her to say that our hospital was one of the nicest she's ever seen, it really puts a big smile on your face. It kind of lets us know and affirms what we already knew, that we have a state of the art facility, but she also talked about how nice the people were and that's just as important." said Phoebe Sumter's Marketing Director Marcus Johnson
During the visit, Lynch visited the chapel to see the stain glass windows from the chapel, which were recovered undamaged from the 2007 tornado. "That is an awesome story, and shows how important faith is and how it can get you through rough times" added Lynch.
Jessica Lynch is a former soldier in the United States army. She served during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and was taken as a prisoner war where she was later rescued by American forces according to Biography.com.

Ny is looking at a B2B, a day off, then another B2B. From a coaching perspective I'm not going to change much of what I can control...it's been working quite well (in spite of injuries.) Chicago is in a bit of a performance dip the L4 games.... losing the last two games, 1-3 the L 4 halves, and 3-5 the L8 qtrs...to Det and Tor.
From a betting perspective I have to lean to NY coming off a 5-0 run vs. playoff teams. And steering clear of their next game...the B2B Cleveland sandwhich......
[Quote: YOU boys are CRAY! stay away from this game! bet on games that are automatic
No one in their right mind is gonna take hard earned $ and bet it on a sporting event they have no control over. Give us something we can use. Like, what is an 'automatic' in your opinion, and when is the next one?

424: Security Holes
Security Holes |
Title text: True story: I had to try several times to upload this comic because my ssh key was blacklisted. |
[edit] Explanation
The "Debian-OpenSSL fiasco" was a major security problem discovered in the Debian Linux distribution and its version of the cryptographic library called OpenSSL. With just a tiny change in the software, which was intended to have no effect on security, its random number generator was completely crippled, as was the security of all cryptographic keys generated by the system. The problem was created when a Debian developer removed one line of code which was crucial, even though it could seem like it did nothing useful. More detail about the fiasco: Crippling Crypto: The Debian OpenSSL Debacle, Debian's information page about the problem.
The title text refers also to this issue: After the security problem was found, all cryptographic keys generated or used on the broken operating system needed to be replaced. Many systems introduced special checks for such weak keys, adding the keys to blacklists, thereby preventing their use and forcing users to create new keys. Randall claims he was affected by that when uploading this comic to the server.
The comics on the left presents Cueball as a programmer who, on a whim, removes pieces of code (commenting out the code by prepending the line with two slashes), presumably thinking they are not necessary. The first removed line, MD_update(&m, buf, j);
is the exact piece of code which was removed in the Debian fiasco. The next panels show him commenting out fictitious lines of code apparently preventing bad things from happening.
The other part of the comic lists "security problems" which were allegedly discovered in other Linux variants afterwards:
Cryptographic software in Fedora Core was allegedly not secure against toy decoder rings.
Xandros (used in Asus Eee PC netbooks) gave superuser privileges to anybody "if asked in a stern voice". This is likely a reference to fact that the preinstalled Xandros OS did not require a password for root privileges by default.
Gentoo would succumb to flattery, which may be a reference to Gentoo's notorious difficulty to manage. Any user who is capable of understanding it, might have a large ego, and therefore be susceptible to flattery.
OLPC OS could have been attacked using Jeff Goldblum's laptop computer, which refers to a scene in the Independence Day movie, where Jeff Goldblum's character was able to hack into an alien spaceship using his Apple PowerBook computer - which is a topic of great contempt by geeks who point to the absurdity of such a construction.
Slackware gave superuser privileges to anybody who "says Elvish word for 'friend'", which refers to a scene in The Lord of the Rings, where the entrance door to Moria could have been opened using a password mellon, the Elvish word for "friend", as indicated on the door itself.
And Ubuntu, which is another Linux distribution, was allegedly found to be actually Windows Vista, the latest version of Microsoft Windows at this time in 2008.

- In the rush to clean up the debian-openssl fiasco, a number of other major security holes have been uncovered:
Affected system Security problem Fedora Core Vulnerable to certain decoder rings Xandros (EEE PC) Gives root access if asked in a stern voice Gentoo Vulnerable to flattery OLPC OS Vulnerable to Jeff Goldblum's Powerbook Slackware Gives root access if user says Elvish word for "friend" Ubuntu Turns out distro is actually just Windows Vista with a few custom Themes
Could the Slackware one imply that harder nerds/geeks are more fond of this specific Linux distro? 188.8.131.52 01:00, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps he's also implying aliens use OLPC? 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I think the Xandros/EEE PC vulnerability "gives access if asked in a stern voice" is a reference to comic 413: New Pet, where Cueball and Megan made a pet out of a EEE PC on wheels inside a hamster ball. Pets sometimes need to be talked to sternly if they're unwilling to obey commands; in this case, a EEE PC needs to be talked to sternly in order to give the commander root access. Codefreak5 (talk) 21:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
The Gentoo explanation does not make sense. Gentoos succumbing to flattery should mean the users use flattery on the Gentoo, not the other way around. --flewk (talk) 16:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Once the neglected stepchild of higher education in Massachusetts, the state's public universities and community colleges are making a comeback with increased funding, state-of-the art facilities, honors programs, affordable prices and higher graduation rates.
With the rising cost of a private school education, combined with the public system's big push to improve its standing, students are flocking to campuses all over the state. Interest and enrollment is up not only at the system's flagship, UMass Amherst, but at institutions like UMass Lowell, Bridgewater State University and community colleges.
"We have been working very hard for the last five years to increase public understanding and recognition of the quality of what's going in public higher education and increasing support for it,'' said Richard Freeland, the commissioner of higher education in Massachusetts.

danielthepoet needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 182 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Hi there. I'm Heather, the Mommypotamus. I'm a mom. I have two beautiful children that were born in my living room.
I'm a researcher. Questioning the status quo comes naturally to me, which is why I rely on evidence-based research to guide my decisions on vaccinations, birth, extended-breastfeeding, circumcision, food and a bunch of other topics.
I'm a doer. For me, life's pleasures come through the pursuit of the next goal. I love to DO, and to do well. Unfortunately, our society's obsession with performance often becomes a pitfall. Who wants to be an amazing wife? Supermom? ME! Not to mention the other "master's degrees" I am currently pursuing: chef, organic gardener, etc.
What do I hope people will get out of this blog? I hope they will encounter ideas that help them re-establish rhythms and a connection to Nature without having to go out and live in the woods. We are intentionally bringing Nature's rhythms back into our lives, and we would love for you to take part in the process.
For more info about the "Mommypotamus" name, read this page -> http://www.mommypotamus.com/what-is…mypotamus/
Audience = Women, Age 24-40, especially moms, who are making strides toward organic, attachment parenting, extended breastfeeding, or alternative health lifestyle. Also anyone who is proactive in researching and learning about more natural ways to live and thrive in our modern culture.
Things I want:
1. A custom stylized font with a design surrounding it (possibly swirlies, paisley, or other decorative designs)
2. Blog Logo PLUS an additional custom avatar for social media profiles, possibly (but not necessarily) involving a uniquely styled "M"
3. Cheerful, Playful, Spirited, and light hearted
4. Some or all of the colors (or a similar warm combo of colors) found on this page: http://hyder.me/blog/
5. POSSIBLY a hippo image - more abstract and less cartoonish is preferable
6. A logo I like is Laura Rauch's at http://99designs.com/logo-design - I may end up going with something totally different but this is one possible direction
Things to avoid:
1. cartoon images of people
2. clip art
3. ultra girlie / feminine stuff
There's a fine line between too childish or cartooney and just right. PLEASE feel free to experiment and be open to suggestions. We'll hone it down to the perfect logo for me!
Note: The theme on Mommypotamus.com will remain, but every part of the above-the-fold style will probably change, as well as the overall color scheme. Will be changing the main navigation. The split color header will be changed also.
This logo may be big enough to be a banner image, or it may flow in conjunction with a solid color background. That part is flexible.
See the attached image for a photo of Heather (the "Mommypotamus").
I will give frequent and detailed feedback on designs submitted that show the designer has read these requirements and is doing some creative work.

Nutmeg Allergy-Causes, Symptoms, And Cure
Nutmeg allergy has nothing to do with nuts as the sweet smelling spice does not fall in the category despite its name. The incidence of allergies to nutmegs is quite rare though; a pleasing fact in itself but it will certainly not harm to learn something about the condition. Read on to find out more…
Reasons for Nutmeg Allergy
The seeds of the nutmeg plant are usually ground into spices which are added to enhance the taste and flavor of certain dishes. However, your body may rebel at accepting the nutmeg protein that enters your body after you ingest it. The chemical called histamine is secreted with the intention of removing the allergen from your body while IgE, an antibody is created specifically to fight with the offensive protein.
Mere touching of the nutmeg powder or seeds may cause contact dermatitis in some cases.
Nutmeg Allergy Symptoms
The reactions occur within minutes of the nutmeg allergen entering your body. The commonest symptoms associated with this type of allergy include:-
- Persistent sneezing and a runny nose that remains clogged
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Skin hives and eczema
- Swelling of the mouth, oral cavity and lips
- Asthma like symptoms occur causing shortness of breath and wheezing which includes coughing continuously.
- Dizziness and fainting spells.
Diagnosis of Nutmeg Allergy
The following tests are conducted to confirm the allergy.
- Skin prick test- A small amount of the allergen is injected beneath the skin and the reactions noted by the allergist.
- Blood Tests- The blood from the patient is examined for presence of IgE which is created when allergy occurs.
- Skin Patch test- A portion of the skin is tested to see if reactions occur on touching nutmeg.
Treating Nutmeg Allergy Symptoms
- Anti histamine drugs can control the runny nose and oral allergic symptoms like itching around the mouth and lips.
- Washing the affected area properly with soap and water before applying corticosteroids can get rid of the contact dermatitis.
- Asthma like symptoms are treated with drugs meant for treating respiratory distress.
- Epinephrine injections are administered when the reactions become severe.
- Avoiding nutmeg in all forms is the only way to prevent recurrence of allergic reactions.
Nutmeg allergy is not a common occurrence and the spice can be consumed safely by nut allergy patients. However, it is better to keep yourself informed in order to prevent untoward incidences over which you have no control.

My current headphone is the Sony xb500 and mi budget is 300$ but I can manage to put it up to 350 if necessary. I listen to alot of hip hop/rap music( mostly old scool ) from my itouch 4 so I need good bass. I researched alot of headphones and I'm stuck between getting these
Ultrasone pro 900 (349$)
Akg k550 (299$)
Denon d2000 (299$)
Sennheiser hd600 (290$) used
and Grado sr325is (299$).
I know some of these need a good amp to be used so if any of you have any suggestions about that to it would be really helpfull.

Womb Watch: Stork Rumors Surround Jessica Simpson
By Kat Giantis
Here we go again. Another avalanche of stork speculation has hit Jessica Simpson after she spent a recent south-of-the-border family getaway covered up in billowy tops.
And the armchair obstetricians over at In Touch have raised the stakes by proclaiming the future Mrs. Eric Johnson pregnant.
A source claims Jess, 31, is due in the spring, and that she and her underemployed fiancé, who are reportedly thinking about getting hitched in November, consider this "the best wedding gift ever."
Other supposed signs of the impending pitter-patter of little feet: Simpson purportedly sent back a glass of champagne while celebrating Johnson's recent 32nd birthday, and she's having "kooky cravings," specifically, nacho chips dipped in chocolate (sidenote: Ick).
No word yet from Jessica's rep, but an insider denied the knocked-up talk back in July. So, what say you? Click on for the roomy sartorial "evidence," such as it is ...

Gotta have steps to get ontop of the deck, it's 37" off the ground
Lots of lights & ramp storage, bumper matches the Jeep. all about the little things. Already had the spare tire mount just moved it back a hair Need to throw the insulation back on the bottom Ran out of time to get interior pics, had to change the oil in the truck & replace block heater since it's getting cold here. Then I had to adjust the overhead door to fit the crawler hauler back in the shop without hassle. Few things left to finish it up: finish plumbing the 2nd water tank (and probably put a 3rd in) replace landing gear re-install insulation on bottom install generator (getting Dar's old Honda EU3000) & small fuel cell to feed it more |

Tri state surplus on ebay, they're actually located in Hudson, MI so you can call them too. They're as solid as any RV step, so yes they flex some.

looking good, I was talking to Roger in China this morning...He really liked the hydro ram in the front....if you can find one cheap, that would be a slick way to go...the best part is , it is completely independent of the other system....Belt and suspenders approach I always say. Heres a pic of the old setup, this is the pic they used in the Diesel Power writeup....you way surpassed my old rig...I was always wincing, wondering when / if my gooseneck was going to fail...that complete additional frame is the way to go.

BTW not to make you feel bad...but I bought two peices of alum siding for 10 bucks, that did not match the camper, and hand beaded (rolled) the lines to match the style of the camper, then bought a pint of paint color matched to a scrap I had cut out for the fram for 6 bucks....they told me the same thing...40-50 bucks for the aluminium, and 200 plus to ship it...what a ripoff.

Very nice build! I have had something like this rolling around in my head for the past few years, but on a lighter and smaller scale. So what engine does that tow rig have, 6.0 or 7.3? How does it handle the load? MPG's all loaded up (if you have had it on the road long enough to get any numbers)?

Hate to bust your bubble, but that is completely wrong. Length laws are for both commercial and non-commercial. Some states are way less than 65'. Will you get hassled? Maybe, maybe not. But, most states are getting WAY more picky about people with pick-ups pulling huge trailers. Many states also have length laws just for the trailer. For example, you are way over the 40' trailer length law in Indiana, plus their combined length limit is only 60'. You are going to want to read up on the rules of the road before you get some significant fines somewhere. I bet you didn't know that you are required to follow the truck speed limit in Michigan too, even as a non-commercial rig. http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm That is a decent link for laws for different states. Some of their information is incorrect as it is out of date. It still says the towing speed limit in MI is 55. It is 65 now, the same as the truck limit. Good luck. |

As for the speed limit in Michigan I learned that the hard way about 3 years ago from a State trooper when I was going 80 on my way to the UP with a 24' enclosed tandem axle.....I knew it wasn't good when he started with "do you know the speed limit for a tandem axle trailer in Michigan", I just laughed at him. He let me get away with a 5 over. The BS, it's not just tandem axle, it's any trailer over 500lbs, that's when I got lippy with him and asked if he was pulling over every snowmobile trailer that weekend. Thanks for the link & info, I want to at least know what laws I'm braking as I go through other states. |

inconsiderate little punks
well lately is seems stealing mygigs are getting pretty popular. mygigs are chryslers touch screen radios for those who don't know. but anyways i'm seeing more and more of them, stolen that is. and it's a pain in the ass to repair all of them especially when they just rip the shit apart and cut the harnesses. chrysler doesn't offer the actual connectors so you have to pull the entire dash and replace the dash harness. or like the 300 i just finished today, the harness is on something like a 3 month back order because they don't have someone to put it together. and the bitch of that one was they didn't cut the radio harness they just cut the am/fm antenna cable. and thats only available with the main harness thats on back order. either way i took care of it but still, pain in the ass. those little bastards need they're damn fingers cut off. and i do realize it's more of an inconvience for the customer but still. end of rant

Judging by location are you at Golling or Shuman? lol
Its not just chrysler's getting the touch screens pulled. Was just workin on an '07 suburban from the WB area. Passenger window smashed out (got new paint from the glass chipping the paint). At least whoever did this one had the decency to pull the connectors out instead of cutting everything. They took the center caps and pulled just the lock nuts off each wheel, but didn't take the rims. They even left the flip down screen in the back alone... You're forgetting eBay and pawn shops (probably using a stolen ID). Brotha gotta make a livin. |

Man that sucks, I hate it when they do that. This Firebird I got for free I somewhat got lucky, the radio wires are cut and the dome light is cut out but I think that's it, which is considerably easier to wire than a screen or something. Either way this car was fucked when I got it, but oh well, I can't beat the price.

sounds like they haven't figured out how to unsnap the antenna yet? if you know what your doing it takes about 30 seconds after the radio is free, you have to be nice to the plugs. I change them in dashes at work on our impact sled. we usually have a dummy or a single unit to jump from dash to dash for weight.

The company that makes the harness is probibly paying the ninjas $10 for each unit they rip out and letting them keep the mygig.
January 8th, 2010, 11:18 AM | #12 |
I know of a quick way to get a harness connectors for the radio. I am 99% sure you can get the adapter kit for the mugig and the Fackra antenna adapter as well. it beats waiting for the parts if they are backordered. That is a Yasaki thing as far as the harness goes. They should know that the radios are a high theft part and stock them.
January 8th, 2010, 12:51 PM | #13 |
The land of Boredom..
actually the mygig radios are a non bus controller type head unit. it could be put into virtually any car that has the space. which is why people are taking the wiring harness as well, just wire it up like you would any aftermarket deck. ive been looking into getting one.

While not everyone uses AirPlay Mirroring to display their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch screen on a TV through an Apple TV, that capability is surprisingly popular with those who need to teach or demonstrate iOS apps.
In the iOS 6 days, you could get to AirPlay Mirroring by double-tapping the Home button, then swiping right as far as you could go, into the Music player controls where you'd see the AirPlay icon. With a tap on that icon, you could turn on mirroring. We've had pings from more than just a few readers who wonder where that capability has gone in iOS 7, so here's the simple solution: it's part of Control Center, which you reach by swiping up from the bottom edge of your screen. Just look for the AirPlay icon.
As with all of the earlier video tips, this one can be enlarged to full-screen for easier viewing.
iOS 7 video tip: Where is Apple hiding AirPlay Mirroring? originally appeared on TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Oracle9i SQL Reference Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96540-02 |
View PDF |
Use the LOCK
statement to lock one or more tables (or table partitions or subpartitions) in a specified mode. This lock manually overrides automatic locking and permits or denies access to a table or view by other users for the duration of your operation.
Some forms of locks can be placed on the same table at the same time. Other locks allow only one lock for a table.
A locked table remains locked until you either commit your transaction or roll it back, either entirely or to a savepoint before you locked the table.
A lock never prevents other users from querying the table. A query never places a lock on a table. Readers never block writers and writers never block readers.
See Also:
The table or view must be in your own schema or you must have the LOCK
system privilege, or you must have any object privilege on the table or view.
Specify the schema containing the table or view. If you omit schema
, then Oracle assumes the table or view is in your own schema.
Specify the name of the table to be locked.
If you specify view
, then Oracle locks the view's base tables.
If you specify PARTITION
) or SUBPARTITION
), then Oracle first acquires an implicit lock on the table. The table lock is the same as the lock you specify for partition
or subpartition
, with two exceptions:
lock for the subpartition, then Oracle acquires an implicit ROW
lock on the table.EXCLUSIVE
lock for the subpartition, then Oracle acquires an implicit ROW
lock on the table.If you specify PARTITION
and table
is composite-partitioned, then Oracle acquires locks on all the subpartitions of partition
If table
is part of a hierarchy, then it must be the root of the hierarchy.
Specify a database link to a remote Oracle database where the table or view is located. You can lock tables and views on a remote database only if you are using Oracle's distributed functionality. All tables locked by a LOCK
statement must be on the same database.
If you omit dblink
, then Oracle assumes the table or view is on the local database.
See Also:
"Referring to Objects in Remote Databases" for information on specifying database links |
Specify one of the following modes:
permits concurrent access to the locked table, but prohibits users from locking the entire table for exclusive access. ROW
is synonymous with SHARE
, which is included for compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle.
is the same as ROW
, but also prohibits locking in SHARE
mode. ROW
locks are automatically obtained when updating, inserting, or deleting.
See ROW
permits concurrent queries but prohibits updates to the locked table.
is used to look at a whole table and to allow others to look at rows in the table but to prohibit others from locking the table in SHARE
mode or updating rows.
permits queries on the locked table but prohibits any other activity on it.
Specify NOWAIT
if you want Oracle to return control to you immediately if the specified table (or specified partition or subpartition) is already locked by another user. In this case, Oracle returns a message indicating that the table, partition, or subpartition is already locked by another user.
If you omit this clause, then Oracle waits until the table is available, locks it, and returns control to you.
The following statement locks the employees
table in exclusive mode, but does not wait if another user already has locked the table:
LOCK TABLE employees IN EXCLUSIVE MODE NOWAIT;
The following statement locks the remote employees
table that is accessible through the database link remote
LOCK TABLE employees@remote IN SHARE MODE;

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Dany Heatley scored two goals and the Minnesota Wild used a rare offensive outburst to hold off the Phoenix Coyotes 4-3 Thursday night.
Jason Zucker scored 1:35 into the game on Minnesota's first shot and Heatley added one late in the period on its third. Heatley scored again in the second and Jared Spurgeon added his first goal in more than a year to put the Wild up 4-1.
The Coyotes rallied in the third period, getting a strange goal by Keith Yandle that caromed off the glass past Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom and another score by Shane Doan with 59 seconds left.
Phoenix couldn't score again, though, sending Minnesota to its fourth win in five games.
Rostislav Klesla also scored for the Coyotes, but goalie Mike Smith also had an off night, allowing four goals on 19 shots before being replaced by Jason LaBarbera to start the third period.

Takeaway: Shorting DG is still the best way to play FDO merger. AMZN finally going brick & mortar. Nike's full court press. Finally a ZQK activist.
FDO - 4Q14 Earnings
Takeaway: Sales were in line, (comps +0.3% vs 0.1%E), but Gross Margins missed considerably (32.9%A vs. 34.3%E), EPS missed by 5.5%, and inventories grew at twice the rate of sales. But best of all was the company's guidance or lack thereof. We'll paraphrase here…[1Q will be challenging, but the investments made in '14 will set up an accelerated rate of sales and margins throughout the year. But in light of the merger, we won't give any more guidance].
The way we see it, when there are two companies who are in a bidding war to buy your company, that's exactly when most retailers would pull every lever possible to print the best (and perhaps inflated) earnings number imaginable in order to get the best price for shareholders. That clearly was not the case here. That tells us that either 1) it actually was the case, and the real earnings stream would have been much lower, 2) FDO is so married to the idea of merging with DLTR that it is putting up worse numbers to discourage a DG bid, or 3) FDO is simply not managing the outcome (we have a hard time with that).
We still think that the best way to play this is to short Dollar General. IF DG 'wins' FDO, then it actually loses as it will be paying close to 13x EBITDA for a marginal asset. If it 'loses' then it gives up the equity value gained since it joined the bid, and the stock goes back to the low $50s.
AMZN - Amazon to Open First Brick-and-Mortar Site
- "Amazon's space at 7 West 34th St., across from the Empire State Building in Midtown, would function as a mini warehouse, with limited inventory for same-day delivery within New York, product returns and exchanges, and pickups of online orders."
- "The Manhattan location is meant primarily to be a place for customers to pick up orders they've made online, but will also serve as a distribution center for couriers and likely one day will feature Amazon devices like Kindle e-readers, Fire smartphones and Fire TV set-top boxes, according to people familiar with the company's thinking."
Takeaway: It's only taken 20 years. This door looks more like an Urban fulfillment center than an actual store, but the framework could be in place for an actual retail presence. We have a hard time imagining what an AMZN store would look like. The breadth of the product offering is limitless, so selecting the right SKU representation at retail would be an interesting case study to watch. But, if any company has the information to make that happen it's AMZN. They've been studying shopper's behavioral habits since they set up a network of computers on retrofitted doors. Most likely AMZN will set up a presence to hawk its own items (Kindle, tablet, phones, set-top boxes, etc.), which would make sense given that most retailers have pulled the items from shelves in response to AMZN's bullying. We're not sure how sustainable that is given that outside of the Kindle - AMZN has been spinning its tires trying to find traction. In light of the news flow around SHLD this week, we think this article is worth a read (http://therobinreport.com/amazon-acquires-sears/). It's more provocative than probable, but thought provoking nonetheless.
NKE, Adi - Louisville's Rick Pitino Says Shoe Companies Overinfluence Recruiting
- "At issue, Mr. Pitino said, is the relationship between major sportswear makers and basketball programs for high-school students, from which top-flight colleges and universities recruit players. Coaches of youth programs affiliated with a specific shoe company tend to encourage athletes to attend colleges with the same sponsor, Mr. Pitino said."
- "The Cardinals won the NCAA Division I National Basketball Championship in 2013. Still, Mr. Pitino said he believes rival sportswear maker Nike is 'winning the battle right now' for top high school recruits."
Takeaway: These comments by Mr. Pitino were just too good to pass up. He's basically saying 'thanks AD for signing a 5yr $39mm deal with Adidas this past April. Now nobody wants to come play ball for me." That $39mm, by the way just so happens to be the 3rd most lucrative deal in all of college sports, behind Notre Dame and the University of Michigan. But, his logic does make sense. Between the Jordan Brand and Nike - NKE owns somewhere between 90%-95% of the basketball footwear market. Plus, college jerseys, footwear and apparel are more important than ever, evidenced by the glut of special jerseys on display on the field every fall Saturday on campuses across America. Nike owns this segment and recruits have taken notice.
ZQK - Quiksilver Shareholder Says Company's Turnaround Plan is a Failure
- "The 11-point turnaround plan announced by Andrew Mooney 16 months ago has thus far failed to deliver the desired results and, based on the deterioration in the company's core brands since that time has in actuality had a profound detrimental effect on the financial position and operating performance of the company, in my opinion."
- "Other investors have come to the same conclusion, since the stock price is down roughly 80% this calendar year. Accordingly, it is time for the Quiksilver board to implement a new strategy in order to preserve shareholder value by commencing a process to sell the company."
- "…I believe that the company's well known brands, global retail and wholesale presence and supply chain still have value. But, the only way to unlock this value for shareholders, and to maximize shareholder value consistent with the board's fiduciary duties, is to immediately pursue the sale of the company through a competitive bidding process."
Takeaway: These are the guys (Consac) that pushed for a sale of Vitacost and Bebe. Regardless of who is calling for a sale, it's near impossible for anyone to argue with their logic. Quiksilver simply should not be a stand-alone public company. With barely $300mm in equity value, the market seemingly agrees. The most surprising thing to us is that companies like VF Corp and Kering don't see what we do.
GIII - Cyber Attacks Spread: Bass & Co. Latest Hit
- "The company said it discovered that an unauthorized person had connected a small data capture device to one of the cash registers in its store on International Drive in Orlando [Fla.].' The device recorded information from payment cards, including cardholders' names, card numbers, expiration dates, verification codes and e-mail addresses, if they were provided. Just one register was targeted in the attack."
Tickers: RCL, SNOW
- Oct 15: LVS 3 earnings 4:30 pm , pw 12611335
- Oct 16: Hedgeye cruise pricing survey (mid-October)
GENTING UK – Phil Ivey has lost his case against a British casino he accused of improperly withholding his winnings. Britain's High Court ruled that Genting Casinos UK does not have to pay him the 7.7 million pounds (USD12.4 million) he was seeking. He claims he won the money during two days of playing baccarat at Crockfords, a Mayfair casino that is part of the Genting group, in August 2012.
RCL– is offering two new sales in one. Book any Royal Caribbean cruise (excluding Quantum of the Seas or Anthem of the Seas) before the end of October, and you can take advantage of these two offers: 1) Buy one guest, get one guest for 50% off; and 2) When booking air accommodations through ChoiceAir, get an additional 5% off the first and second guests. The new cruise deal is good for bookings made between October 2 - 31, 2014 on all ships excluding Quantum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas and all China departures.
SNOW – Steamboat Ski Resort is suing Utah tourism officials, claiming a $1.8 million campaign designed to lure tourists in the lucrative winter sports industry away from Colorado violates their Ski Town, U.S.A. trademark because Salt Lake City is marketing itself as Ski City US.
Takeaway: The battle for skiers and marketing identity intensifies.
Japan's Gaming Enabling Legislation – (Reuters) Contrary to recent stories, Japan's pro-casino lawmakers are set to tweak a proposed bill on casino legalization to address concerns of a possible spike in gambling addiction, but have agreed to not propose banning Japanese nationals from casinos
Takeaway: We look forward to moving beyond the talk and posturing and finally having floor debate commence.
Macau Golden Week Jewelry Sales – (Macau Business Daily) Chow Sang Sang Holdings International Ltd. saw sales in its five jewelery stores in Macau rise more than 10% during National Day Golden Week, with more than 90% of customers hailing from the mainland. By comparison, Chow Sang Sang sales in Hong Kong being declined 6% to 8% during the period, negatively impacted by the Occupy Central movement.
Takeaway: A sales increase of up 10% seems disappointing given Mainland Chinese visitation increased 17% during Golden Week.
Indiana Gaming Law Changes Sought – Leaders from Indiana's ailing gambling industry pleaded their case before lawmakers Wednesday, looking for ways to attract more customers and beat back competition from out of state that has sprung up in recent years. Three of their top requests are for lawmakers include: 1) to allow riverboat casinos to move ashore, 2) allow table games two racinos, and 3) eliminating the tax on free play.
Takeaway: Regional gaming operators seeking relief from the cannibalization of new land based casinos in Ohio and well as video gaming in Illinois.
Best Western Launches Brand Extensions – announced plans for two new brands: Vib, a lifestyle hotel concept targeting millennial travelers; and BW Premier Collection*, a soft brand. The company's global pipeline includes more than 400 properties, 35% of which are in North America. Half of the North American pipeline are new-build hotels and include 26 Best Western properties, 106 Best Western Plus hotels and 10 Best Western Premier properties.
Takeaway: Another hotelier attempts to court millennials.
Atla Remains a No Boarder Mountain – Earlier this year a group of snowboarders filed a discrimination lawsuit against Alta, claiming they were being turned away not because they present a risk to skiers with whom they share the terrain but because they are perceived as being rowdy and obnoxious. A federal judge dismissed the suit, basically saying that the right to snowboard is not guaranteed by the equal protection clause of the Constitution. The only other U.S. resorts that ban snowboarding are Deer Valley, also in Utah, and Mad River Glen in Vermont.
Takeaway: Ski purists rejoiced Alta with the ruling the mountain will remain free of Boarders.
El Niño – the Climate Prediction Center agency of the National Weather Service said on Thursday, the El Niño weather phenomenon is expected to occur in the next 1-2 months and last into next spring in the Northern Hemisphere, although the El Niño will likely be less strong than forecasted three months ago.
Takeaway: We've been talking about El Niño since May and we hope for a stronger pattern which would result in warmer weather, a positive for consumer spending.
Hedgeye remains negative on consumer spending and believes in muted inflation, a Quad Four set-up. Following a great call on rising housing prices, the Hedgeye Macro/Financials team is decidedly less positive.
Takeaway: We've found housing prices to be the single most significant factor in driving gaming revenues over the past 20 years in virtually all gaming markets across the US.

The Hedgeye Macro Team
This note was originally published at 8am on September 26, 2014 for Hedgeye subscribers.
"We are the ones that we have been waiting for."
-Alice Walker
"So," how is everyone feeling this morning? I'm feeling great.
Since I'm running out of fresh content on both shorting the Russell 2000 (IWM) and buying the Long Bond (TLT), today I decided to weave a little Alice Walker (she wrote The Color Purple in 1982) with some perma-bear prepping.
If you don't know what a #prepper is, look it up. On Wiki you'll be re-directed to "Survivalism" and on the Googler you'll get everything from "How To Build Your Own Bunker" to "Getting Ready For Barackalypse." There's always a bear market somewhere!
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
When you see me going all bear-mauler in the introduction to a research note, you buy/cover.
Yep, that's pretty much the call this morning. I call it fading myself. If you didn't buy and/or cover the swan dive that the SP500 took into yesterday's close, you aren't a real bull anyway.
Oh, and don't forget to sell the "GDP is back" bounce by noon. Damn day-traders.
Forget the traders, how about them damn moving monkeys? Huh? Did Mucker call me a monkey? No. No. I would never call anyone names. I'm referring to this billion dollar app thing that I built for my 6yr old son called Monkey In The Middle.
Here's how it works:
- It has a 1yr chart
- It has a simple moving avg
- It has a ticker box
And voila! That's it. So easy a kindergartner can do it. He can analyze any ticker in the world, across asset classes!
Other than this being the most myopic single-factor interpretation of risk since the caveman throwing grass into the wind, the problem I foresee with this billion dollar idea is what happens when my son starts doing wacky stuff like multiplication.
Or, what if he figures out that moving monkeys are different if he uses a simple vs. an exponential moving average? Then my app is dead. But, in the meantime, you never know, yo. There's an app for that too btw (it's called "yo" – you say yo to me, I say yo back).
Serious question though, what is the 50-day Moving Monkey?
- Is it 1978 (exponential moving avg) or 1976 (simple moving avg) for the SP500?
- Or, is it 1151 (exponential moving avg) or 1148 (simple moving avg) for the Russell 2000?
I am not messing around here guys. If I am going to start building my family a legitimate bunker, I need to know what the signal is! Will using the exponential one help me front-run the simple ones? In the bush (with bears), all I need to do is out-run the last guy.
In all seriousness, the entire linear concept of using the 50-day is as ridiculous as the ideology that the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of Japan, can collectively bend gravity.
Moving along…
Does your iPhone bend? The stock did yesterday. It moved 2x what the market did, signaling immediate-term TRADE oversold within its bullish intermediate-term TREND setup. "So" I signaled buy AAPL (Apple) yesterday.
If we get the Q2 "GDP is back" bounce (newsflash: next week it will be Q4), I want to own the real bubbly stuff. Remember when The Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), and BABA had a projected $1 TRILLION in combined cap? I do. That may have been the top.
Tops are processes, not points. And the thing about the real bubbly ones is that you can risk manage them for a little while with a bullish bias (commonly called buying the damn dip). But there will come a time when they pop. Try it at home – those don't bounce.
This is where I use my immediate-term Risk Range process (sorry Jack, our app doesn't have real-world application!):
- SP500 signals immediate-term TRADE oversold at 1962, within a bullish intermediate-term TREND
- Russell 2000 signaled immediate-term TRADE oversold at 1104, within a bearish TREND
- Front-month VIX signals immediate-term TRADE overbought at 15.92, within a bullish TREND
In other words, both volatility and the SP500 are bullish on an intermediate-term duration and the Russell 2000 small-cap #bubble is bearish across all durations. "So" on the oversold signals, you keep your small cap shorts on and buy big cap liquidity (AAPL).
If you're longer-term, and not into managing the immediate-term risk of the range… and are right freaked out about something like the #Quad4 (US growth and inflation slowing at the same time), #preppers have a ton of stuff to sell you. Someone should definitely IPO that!
Our immediate-term Global Macro Risk Ranges are now:
UST 10yr Yield 2.42-2.58%
Gold 1209-1250
Best of luck out there today,

I have been knitting some things and definitely trying to not buy things, but somehow, yarn has been arriving at my doorstep. I got some gorgeous Blue Moon Geisha in the moody blues colorway, just gorgeous! I was thinking of making the Arbor top or the Lotus blossom top, can't decide which one to make. Also, Zachary had a birthday, he turned 10 years old in March, pictures below. He also got a cool Spongebob cake and a good time was had by all. Some people had a better time than others! I also got the loopy ewe sock club kit for May and WOW! I also got the Woolgirl sock club kit for April and another WOW!

America's Political CannibalismPosted on Oct 13, 2008
By Chris Hedges It is no longer our economy but our democracy that is in peril. It was the economic meltdown of Yugoslavia that gave us Slobodan Milosevic. It was the collapse of the Weimar Republic that vomited up Adolf Hitler. And it was the breakdown in czarist Russia that opened the door for Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Financial collapses lead to political extremism. The rage bubbling up from our impoverished and disenfranchised working class, glimpsed at John McCain rallies, presages a looming and dangerous right-wing backlash. As the public begins to grasp the depth of the betrayal and abuse by our ruling class, as the Democratic and Republican parties are exposed as craven tools of our corporate state, as savings accounts, college funds and retirement plans become worthless, as unemployment skyrockets and as home values go up in smoke, we must prepare for the political resurgence of a reinvigorated radical Christian right. The engine of this mass movement—as is true for all radical movements—is personal and economic despair. And despair, in an age of increasing shortages, poverty and hopelessness, will be one of our few surplus commodities. Karl Polanyi in his book "The Great Transformation," written in 1944, laid out the devastating consequences—the depressions, wars and totalitarianism—that grow out of a so-called self-regulated free market. He grasped that "fascism, like socialism, was rooted in a market society that refused to function." He warned that a financial system always devolved, without heavy government control, into a Mafia capitalism—and a Mafia political system—which is a good description of the American government under George W. Bush. Polanyi wrote that a self-regulating market, the kind bequeathed to us since Ronald Reagan, turned human beings and the natural environment into commodities, a situation that ensures the destruction of both society and the natural environment. He decried the free market's belief that nature and human beings are objects whose worth is determined by the market. He reminded us that a society that no longer recognizes that nature and human life have a sacred dimension, an intrinsic worth beyond monetary value, ultimately commits collective suicide. Such societies cannibalize themselves until they die. Speculative excesses and growing inequality, he wrote, always destroy the foundation for a continued prosperity. We face an environmental meltdown as well as an economic meltdown. This would not have surprised Polanyi, who fled fascist Europe in 1933 and eventually taught at Columbia University. Russia's northern coastline has begun producing huge qualities of toxic methane gas. Scientists with the International Siberian Shelf Study 2008 describe what they saw along the coastline recently as "methane chimneys" reaching from the sea floor to the ocean's surface. Methane, locked in the permafrost of Arctic landmasses, is being released at an alarming rate as average Arctic temperatures rise. Methane is a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The release of millions of tons of it will dramatically accelerate the rate of global warming. Those who run our corporate state have fought environmental regulation as tenaciously as they have fought financial regulation. They are responsible, as Polanyi predicted, for our personal impoverishment and the impoverishment of our ecosystem. We remain addicted, courtesy of the oil, gas and automobile industries and a corporate-controlled government, to fossil fuels. Species are vanishing. Fish stocks are depleted. The great human migration from coastlines and deserts has begun. And as temperatures continue to rise, huge parts of the globe will become uninhabitable. The continued release of large quantities of methane, some scientists have warned, could actually asphyxiate the human species. The corporate con artists and criminals who have hijacked our state and rigged our financial system still speak to us in the obscure and incomprehensible language coined by specialists at elite business schools. They use terms like securitization, deleveraging, structured investment vehicles and credit default swaps. The reality, once you throw out their obnoxious jargon, is not hard to grasp. Banks lent too much money to people and financial institutions that could not pay it back. These banks are now going broke. The government is frantically giving taxpayer dollars to banks so they can be solvent and again lend money. It is not working. Bank lending remains frozen. There are ominous signs that the government may not be able to hand over enough of our money because the losses incurred by these speculators are too massive. If credit markets remain in a deep freeze, corporations such as AT&T, Ford and General Motors might go bankrupt. The downward spiral could spread like a tidal wave across the country, especially since our corporate elite, including Barack Obama, seem to have no real intention of bailing out families who can no longer pay their mortgages or credit card debts. Lenin said that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch its currency. If our financial disaster continues there will be a widespread loss of faith in the mechanisms that regulate society. If our money becomes worthless, so does our government. All traditional standards and beliefs are shattered in a severe economic crisis. The moral order is turned upside down. The honest and industrious are wiped out while the gangsters, profiteers and speculators amass millions. Look at Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld. He walks away from his bankrupt investment house after pocketing $485 million. His investors are wiped out. An economic collapse does not only mean the degradation of trade and commerce, food shortages, bankruptcies and unemployment; it means the systematic dynamiting of the foundations of a society. I watched this happen in Yugoslavia. I fear I am watching it happen here in the United States. Advertisement Square, Site wide

Difference between revisions of "Borlänge"
Revision as of 00:49, 21 October 2006Borlänge [1] is an average-sized Swedish city in the province Dalarna. With a population of roughly 50.000, it is the second most populous city in the province, after Falun. ContentsGet inThe town has good communications. The road network is excellent and the only time to expect traffic jams is at four o'clock when most people head home from their work. There is also a railway station and an airport. By busBus is in general the cheapest way of reaching Borlänge from other cities, although the biggest intercity bus company Swebus Express unfortunately doesn't have an English version of its site. By railBorlänge is an important railway hub, tickets can be bought at the website of the Swedish railway company SJ. By airFlights to Dala Airport in Borlänge go from Stockholm, tickets can be booked online at the site of the airline Skyways. Borlänge can also be reached by air from Malmö, Gothenburg and from Oslo, the capital of Norway. Tickets online at Direktflyg. Both airline sites have booking services in English. Get aroundGetting around by car is easy, however the road-signs are - as in the rest of Sweden - in Swedish so a map is suggested. The bus-network covers the entire town and the villages outside. A ride inside the towns borders costs 17 SEK for adults(over 16 years old), and 14 SEK for children. See
