text: South Korean Activists Air Drop Condoms Into North KoreaLaura Beck11/08/12 11:55pmFiled to: North KoreaSouth KoreaCondomsHealthtweetFb68EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink South Korean activists sent balloon packages carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets, condoms, sanitary pads, electric torches, sweets, underwear, socks and toothpaste into North Korea today. These types of launches are not highly unusual, and are often carried out by North Korean defectors, Christian activists, and right-wing organizations. It's weird thinking about "Christian activists" and "right-wing organizations" meaning something other than super extreme*, but Christians worldwide don't really give a shit about condoms, it's mainly Americans and Catholics, right?Advertisement"We've heard condoms are particularly difficult to secure in the North," said Bong Tae-Hong, who heads the right-wing activist group Right Korea."North Koreans also need them as contraceptives and for protection against sexually transferred diseases," Bong told AFP.Cool, I'm hoping some made it. I know that in the past critical food and supplies drops were successful and cherished, so fingers crossed that this stuff gets into the right hands.AdvertisementOf course, the powers that be in Pyongyang aren't thrilled about giving North Koreans any basic tools for survival. After a similar leafleting exercise last month by a group of North Korean defectors, Pyongyang said it would respond with a "merciless" military attack.Maybe they're mad that South Koreans are sending the wrong type of deodorant, the kind that leaves white streaks on your clothes? And instead of tampons, it's the giant napkins with safety pins and belts? And wait, are the condoms "ribbed for her pleasure"? Because Kim Jong-un doesn't need that shit.Or maybe it's the fact that they're pretty much the worst.Sponsored*I'm curious to learn more about these groups, does anyone know anything? I can't find much online but ever since I read B.R. Myers' The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters, I'm kinda obsessed with learning more.South Koreans Launch Condoms Into North Korea [Business Times]Reply68 repliesLeave a reply

UNL CIG avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 380 designs proposés par 91 designers freelance.
The Biofinity Project
The Biofinity Project (http://biofinity.unl.edu) provides a web repository for biodiversity and genomic data as well as bioinformatics tools. The goal of the project is to provide researchers with federated access to multiple sources of biological systems data and tools for analysis from a single web page.
The Biofinity Project seeks to provide both researchers as well as 'citizen scientists' with robust tools for cataloguing biological systems.
The target audience for the site are primarily researchers in the fields of biodiversity, bioinformatics and genetics although the site is freely available to students and the general public.
We require a logo that can be used for both print ant web. This logo will create a brand for our site as well as the research project under which is is created. The logo will appear on a redesigned version of our site and various forms of print material that we use to market to researchers.
We have envisioned the logo to be a double helix wrapped into an infinity symbol, but be as creative as you can - we want to see many options. The logo should, however, somehow incorporate a stylized double helix and possibly an infinity symbol. The logo should clearly convey the concept of bioinformatics.
Attached is a screen shot of our current data page as an example of the kinds of data that are hosted by the site. We will be redesigning this page based on the winning logo (i.e. the colors and general feel of the site will change - so don't feel that you need to keep this feel in your logo, we want something new).
We require the winning designer to submit an Adobe Illustrator file (CMYK) of the logo and any design elements included with it (any backgrounds, custom fonts etc.).

Hello everyone i wanted to share my experience with DOuble Tap 200 Grain WFGC lead bullets in my LW6" Compensated Glock. I extrapolated some data and came up with a load of 7.8 Grains of Longshot over a Federal Match Large Pistol Magnum primer. Top that off with Double Tap 200 grain hard cast WFNGC bullet. New Starline brass. My goal was to develop a good medium velocity accurate load for my Glock for the taking of deer at distances of 75 yards and under but most likely 50 yards and under. I am not going to guess the velocity but will get a Chrono to measure next week and report velocity at that time. The recoil was low the accuracy was outstanding and not one FTF out of 50 rounds. No leading but to be expected with gas checked bullets. So any thoughts?
Sounds like you are on the right track. I have had good results with that bullet and 800-X. Better results with Accurate no. 9. Carefully working up a load of A9 gets good performance at 1205 fps from my stock G20 barrel. I used a CCI 350 for the A9 load. I can't say that I can share any Longshot first hand experience with that particular bullet though. Glad to hear that they bullet is feeding well in your LW barrel. This bullet is my favorite for wilderness carry.
Here's my data, Copied & Pasted from the Hodgdon Powder sticky: Hodgdon Longshot DT 200gr WFNGC Starline Brass CCI300 Primers 1.255 OAL 6" LWD Barrel Wolff 22# Spring 88* F, Sea Level 8.0gr: 1210 1235 1228 1236 1242 Average: 1230 ES: 32 8.2gr: 1244 1246 1250 1250 1247 Average: 1247 ES: 6 8.4gr: 1217 1243 1254 1246 1262 Average: 1244 ES: 45 I am really happy with the consistency of the 8.2gr load, which is Hodgdon's listed max. I have 2k WLP's on the way, and I may pick up some CCI350's to see if that will help kick up my velocities. With a 1247fps average for a 200gr bullet, there's nothing really to complain about. But as always, I want more... I am pretty happy that 8.2gr of Longshot load beats DT's factory loaded 200gr WFNGC's out of my gun. Here's what DT's ammo did out of my G20L the same day: 1199, 1220, 1173, 1227, 1216 Average: 1207 ES: 54
More: Here's some more Longshot data, this time with Mag Primers. Hodgdon Longshot DT 200gr WFNGC Starline Brass CCI350 Primers 1.26 OAL 6" LWD Barrel Wolff 22# Spring 85* F, Sea Level 8.0gr Longshot/CCI350: 1247 1238 1245 1239 1230 Ave: 1240 ES: 17 8.2gr Longshot/CCI350 1262 1249 1229 1250 1255 Ave: 1249 ES: 33 8.4gr Longshot/CCI350 1243 1285 1250 1267 1278 Ave: 1264 ES: 42 Primers are starting to look more flat, but I think there's still room to grow. I'm still hoping I can average 1300fps with the 200gr WFNGC's out of my G20L with good precision.
I loaded up several batches of 200 and 230gr WFNGC bullets I purchased from DT. I would have to look up my load data and chrono results but I could never quite get it right. I tested them thru gen3 G20 with a KKM barrel. I tried various OAL's and could not get them to feed. I even spoke with McNett several times on the load development but could never beat the feed issues. Was gonna be my bear load.
Okay, my handloaded 200gr WFNGC from my 6" Fusion longslide: 8.3gr LS, CCI300 primer, 1.250" = 1256fps average They tend to run faster than the 200gr XTP's do with the same charge (and with slightly lower pressure due to the shorter bullet length). the 200gr XTP data: (over-book, do YOUR OWN workups please) 8.5gr LS 1253fps average 8.8ggr LS 1241fps average 9.0gr LS 1292fps average 9.2gr LS 1308fps average 9.4gr LS 1325fps average I think that your WFNGC would be DEVASTATING on deer in the 1200-1275fps range... no need to push as high as I've gone here (with the XTP)... I am just showing you for reference. In fact, I think 8.2gr is a FINE load for deer.
Interesting to me the LS with or without Mag primers the velocities look about the same. I figure I was about 1150 FPS with the above load. I shot another 50 rounds today feeding was great accuracy out to 40 yards was outstanding. Recoil mild and with long slide and comp is was like shooting a 38 special. Thanks for feedback now get the mold off the buy here and start casting and loading up 500+ rounds. Deer hunting in November with two tags to fill hopefully the 10mm will bark.
Yes I think I will work my way up to 8.3 grains of LS and see how the accuracy is if good that will,settle it.
Smart man. 8.3gr is a safe and powerful loading without being excessive, at least in my firearms (which includes my stock G29SF, , KKM'd G20SF and Fusion)
Yea that Fusion has me drooling but my Glock is setup well LW longslide and threaded 6" barrel with LW compensator a polymer scope mount with a Burris FF bolted to it . This week I will make belt slide cross draw holster from 9oz leather to accommodate the scope mount and Burris. I absolutely love getting ready for deer hunting.
ME TOO! I'm gonna post up my range outing today with the longslide... did some 25, 50 and 100y shooting ...
HAve you found any evidence of lead fouling after shooting this WFNGC? I observed patches and streaks. Thinking those may be the wax lubrication, I tried cotton patches of Acetone which dissolves wax. I ran bore snake about 20 times, then ran Acetone again. Most was gone, but a couple of streak & patch between the lands. KKM 6". Going to try bore cleaner solution when I get home. Just curious what you guys see.
During a ammo test secession recently my last round of the test was the Underwood 220 grain, this bullet measured 0.4010" as pulled before the testing and had a full lube groove of what ever red lube was being used by his supplier. Being the last round and only cast bullet shot, I had plenty of leading in the barrel of my S&W1006 and it was tough to remove... Cartridge is from Ammo Manufacture: Underwood 220gr Hard Cast Ballistics Information: 10mm Auto Muzzle Velocity: 1200 fps Muzzle Energy: 703 ft. lbs Pictures: Before/After disassembly: Brass Make/Headstamp: Star Line - Brass Bullet Make/Weight/Construction/Info; Length 0.7360"/Dia. 0.401"/Meplat 0.280": Hard Cast 220gr. HC actual weight 219.0 grains top band 0.1800"/bottom band 0.2200"/lube groove 0.1500"/nose 0.2250" (doesn't add up exact nose profile?) C.O.A.L.: 1.2520" Primer: Brass color Case: Diameter 0.4215" Crimp Diameter 0.4220" Length 0.9865" Powder Description/Positive ID/Type/Charge Weight: IMR800X 8.4 grains Tested 11/29/2012 Underwood 220 Gr. Hard Cast WFN 1209 fps : Diameter 0.4285" primer moderately flatten, case didn't eject. 12/01/2012 barrel inspected and cleaned plenty leading to remove, maybe not enough lube or the type of lube.
If you buy just bullets, the wax is pasted into the groove. However, during shipping & handling process, some bullets had only 1/4 of the wax ring left. I was tempted to patch a little Frog lube paste in there. In any case, I shot only five rounds of WFNGC and saw the fouling. Bore cleaner did work well. Not having any experience in this area, I was surprised to find that much fouling in just a few shots. Did I read it correctly? Shadow shot only one round and had much fouling? Also, have anyone bought bullets from these folks: http://www.heavymetalbullets.com/ ? BTW. Shadow, I appreciate you taking the time to document things so well, every time !

Tom Hanks In Nora Ephron's Lucky Guy: My Review
There's a lot of narration in Nora Ephron's last work, Lucky Guy, but that quickly becomes the point.
A swirling drama set in various tabloid newsrooms starting in the 1980s, when scandal, corruption, and suicides ruled the headlines, this is first and foremost a play about the art of storytelling. It recounts the explosion of brash, controversial writer Mike McAlary, and his gift for sniffing out hot reportage and passing it on as if tossing a grenade into everyone's complacence. In doing so, Lucky Guy becomes an act of storytelling unto itself. All the characters in the various newsrooms have a part in telling us what happened, as McAlary rises to front-page prominence, becomes disgraced after a few scandals of his own, and has a final surge (and Pulitzer prize) before succumbing to cancer.
Hanks is terrific at capturing the writer's gumption, drive, and vulnerability. Not easy to pin down, McAlary is horrified when an article he wrote prompts one of his sources to kill himself, but he doesn't hesitate to make TV appearances about the horror almost immediately. Simultaneously self-promoting and self-effacing, adoring and disruptive, McAlary isn't always right, which makes for a good bundle of contradictions for Hanks to play with (in between group bar songs, tough-guy banter, and obligatory domestic scenes of the "We need to spend more time together" variety.)
But this is truly an ensemble piece, and the whole company--as directed by George C. Wolfe--is strong, including the turns by Courtney B. Vance, Peter Gerety, and Richard Masur as various colorful editors who helped squire McAlary's work into fruition.

Act One has too much of that narration, but it captures the screaming, smoking, boozing, anxious, foul-mouthed milieu of the city newsroom, which Efron--who passed away last year--cut her teeth in. The scenes are short-ish, so the play has a cinematic flow that's not surprising coming from an Efron/Hanks collaboration, though the fourth-wall-breaking chats to the audience make the structure more theatrical in nature, and the whole thing is as rich in ambience as a steaming plate of old subway graffiti.
Act Two is less narrated and more melancholy, as McAlary gets sick, but he becomes re-galvanized when he breaks the story about Abner Louima, the Haitian man whom out-of-control police officers sodomized with a plunger, among other outrageous brutalizations. Stephen Tyrone Williams is moving as Louima, but I felt the followup was too hastily dealt with. We don't see enough of McAlary's triumph in that particular story, and never get enough sense of what his actual writing was like.
As the evening's sketchy feeling becomes its defining feature, it's clear that this is more of a character evocation than a strict narrative. It's a play about atmosphere--the booze-and-smoke-filled arena where headlines are born, chances are taken, and, most of all, stories are told. In the uneven but boisterously affecting result, McAlary's pure love of journalism--like Ephron's--shines through like a cigarette in the dark.

Steamboat Springs The Steamboat Springs Police Department has received a $43,000 grant to help curb underage drinking.
Police Capt. Joel Rae said the federal grant is being administered from Dec. 1 to April 2008 through Colorado's Liquor Enforcement Division. The grant will be used to send officers to training programs, to enforce the city's liquor laws through compliance checks and additional investigations and to develop and facilitate youth alcohol education and awareness programs at Steamboat Springs High School and Colorado Mountain College.
The EUDL grant, or Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws, will provide enough mo-
ney for the police department to use officers to spend additional time in bars, restaurants or liquor stores as a deterrent to minors purchasing alcohol. The money will allow officers to spend more time investigating where youth are getting alcohol.
At the end of the 17-month grant cycle, Rae hopes to see a difference in the number of minor in possession tickets and increased compliance with the city's liquor license laws.
"We've always enforced liquor laws but because of the demands of the job, manpower has been an issue," Rae said. "This grant will allow us to dedicate our resources to taking a multi-pronged approached to tackling the issues of underage drinking by broadening our scope of work."
Around $10,000 of the grant money is being given to Grand Futures Prevention Coalition to develop a youth task force, educational programs and alternative activities for teens to participate in.
Grand Futures is a community-based substance abuse prevention coalition organization in Northwest Colorado that provides education, training and research serviced in Routt, Grand and Moffat counties.
"We want to work with the liquor license holders and parents in the community because it is a community problem," Rae said. "We're really focusing our efforts on all groups of people involved with the underage drinking problem we have here, not just the people selling the alcohol."

XEnd of the week musing on recent sports headlines:
1. The idea of Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey as the next Browns coach is growing on me. While my first two choices would be Browns president Mike Holmgren and ESPN analyst Jon Gruden, I love the creativity Mularkey brought to the Pittsburgh Steelers offense when he was coordinator from 2001-03.
Under Mularkey, Kordell Stewart passed for 3,109 yards in 2001. In 2002, the Steelers succeeded with Tommy Maddox at quarterback. The Steelers finished third and fifth in the league in total offense, respectively, in 2001 and 2002, and led the NFL in rushing in 2001 with a 173.4 average.
Mularkey also found a way to quickly integrate Antwaan Randle El into the scheme when the former Indiana quarterback was drafted in the second round in 2002. Randle El caught 84 passes for 853 yards his first two seasons under Mularkey. He would inherit similar talents in the Browns' Joshua Cribbs, and perhaps quarterback Seneca Wallace, if he returns.
Mularkey, 48, also has two years of head coaching experience with the Buffalo Bills in 2004-05.
Although Mularkey cancelled an interview with the Denver Broncos because he wanted to focus on the playoffs, he kept his commitment to talk to the Browns because they called first. He did not rule out interest in the Broncos after the Falcons' playoff run is over.
After years of watching a predictable Browns' offense, the innovation Mularkey would bring would be a breath of fresh air.
2. It appears that some big-spending TCU alum couldn't resist the chance to skewer Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee after the Horned Frogs defeated Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl.
This week, 20 electronic billboards in the Columbus area popped up that read: "Congratulations to TCU for their Rose Bowl victory. -- Little Sisters of the Poor.''
In late November, Gee took a shot at non-BCS qualifiers like TCU and Boise State.
"I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it's like murderer's row every week for these schools," Gee said. "We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day. So I think until a university runs through that gauntlet that there's some reason to believe that they not be the best teams to [be] in the big ballgame."
Gee is well-traveled, having served as chancellor at Vanderbilt and president at Brown, Colorado, West Virginia and in two stints at OSU. But when it comes to athletics, he's a fan first. I once saw him get into an argument with a man impersonating Woody Hayes at a Buckeye tailgate party when Robert Smith played for OSU. On that day, Gee sounded like any other member of Buckeye Nation.
3. Quarterback Andrew Luck decided to stay at Stanford because of the bond he's developed with his teammates and his desire to win a Pac-10 championship, along with completing his degree in architectural design in the spring of 2012. While Luck surely will take out an insurance policy in case of injury, he clearly values his time at Stanford and could encourage more athletes to take the same chance. It's one more indication why Luck deserves to be the top pick in the NFL draft.
Not sure fans of the Carolina Panthers see it that way, though. In North Carolina, Luck's decision is probably viewed more as a referendum on their franchise, which owns this year's No. 1 pick.
As Scott Fowler wrote in today's Charlotte Observer, "This was an enormous blow to Carolina, far worse than any of the 14 losses it sustained to earn that No.1 pick in the first place. The next Peyton Manning just walked out the door.''
Former Ohio State All-American LeCharles Bentley also noted Wednesday night on ESPN 850 WKNR that Terrelle Pryor's chances for the 2011 Heisman Trophy also went up in smoke with Luck's decision. Pryor's odds of winning would seem slim, anyway, unless the NCAA reduces his five-game suspension.

New Acid Leak Detection Sensor Cables
Product Announcement from Pentair Thermal Management
The new TraceTek® TT7000 Sensor Cable from Tyco Thermal Controls provides early warning of leaks resulting from corrosion of fittings, valves, transfer piping and storage tanks through a local, networked or remote digital alarm system, so that you can take action before the damage is done.
TraceTek® TT7000 Sensor Cable detects leaks and spills of strong mineral acids such as sulfuric and nitric acid at any point along the cable length. When used in conjunction with TraceTek monitoring instruments, the cable senses the presence of acid, triggers an alarm and pinpoints the location of the acid contact to within +/- 1 meter accuracy.
Typical applications include:
- Oil refining
- Wastewater processing
- Chemical synthesis
- Mining
- Ore processing and smelting
- Plating facilities
- Fertilizer manufacturing
TT7000 Sensor Cable provides distributed leak detection and location along the entire run of cable. Cable can be installed around localized sources of acid leakage (e.g. valves, pumps and tanks) as well as along pipelines carrying acid.
Individual circuit lengths up to 1000 m can be monitored from a single sensor interface module (SIM). Multiple SIMs can be easily networked to provide extended coverage in chemical complexes or along pipelines. Alarm and control panels with capacity for up to 127 SIMs are standard. TraceTek Supervisor (for Windows PC) is available for stand alone installations, or the SIM units can be directly connected to the facility alarm and control systems.
Contact Tyco Thermal Controls today for a leak detection solution specific to your needs.

Nested List class for Simulation Queue
Hello, all. This is my first post to the forums, and I hope someone out there can help me! For a client, I am developing a (fairly) sophisticated discrete-event simulation written entirely in Java. For anyone familiar with simulations, before an entity can be serviced, it must enter a queue. In version 0.1 of the simulation there was only one queue, a Queue1 class, with a nested List class inside of it, which just initiated an empty list. The Queue1 class added or removed entities from the queue. The List class looked as follows:
Java Code:class List { // Global variables for List public Commodity work; public List next; public List() { work = null; next = null; } }
So, I tried creating a generic Queue class with the list nested, and had my Queue classes, Queue1 and Queue2, extend Queue. However, both queues are still feeding off of the same List. How do I create new lists in each individual queue class so that I can maintain different lists simultaneously? If you would like the code for one of the Queue classes, I'd be glad to post that, as well. Thanks!
Why aren't you just using a LinkedList?
Java Code:LinkedList<Commodity> queue1 = new LinkedList<Commodity>(); LinkedList<Commodity> queue2 = new LinkedList<Commodity>();

Well that's definitely an implementation I can look into, but the List is currently called if a double length == 0, thus creating a new list. For some reason, the second process is reading off the same length value as the first process, and thus never evaluates to true, and passes right by it. However, length is a private variable in both classes. The enqueue method looks as follows:
Java Code:public void enqueue(Commodity commodityToAdd) { if(commodityToAdd == null) return; List ptr = head; if(isEmpty()) { head = new List(); ptr = head; } else { while(ptr.next != null) ptr = ptr.next; ptr.next = new List(); ptr = ptr.next; } ptr.next = null; ptr.work = commodityToAdd; length++; }

U.S. Economy, We Can Ignore Reality!
Economics / US Economy Dec 13, 2012 - 10:18 AM GMT"We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." Ayn Rand
With apologies to Ayn Rand, let's explore some examples of ignoring reality.
We can ignore the (U.S. government) deficit, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring the deficit. If the deficit increases each year, the total debt will soon be so out of control that it is unpayable. Oops, the United States is there now. The consequences that we cannot ignore are:
- The budget deficit (expenses minus revenues) increases the total debt each year. A larger debt usually means a higher interest cost must be paid out of current taxes. If the Federal Reserve artificially reduces interest rates by purchasing most of the government debt, then the money supply is substantially increased and that eventually causes much higher consumer prices. Otherwise, the interest cost will rise so much that it consumes the entire federal government revenues. Higher inflation now and insolvency later or higher interest costs now and insolvency later?
- If the government demonstrates that it cannot control spending, its international credit standing will deteriorate and eventually the dollar will be replaced as the world's reserve currency.
- If the dollar is no longer a reserve currency, the United States might need to reduce imports to match exports. Can you imagine paying for our imported oil with gold or exported corn?
We can ignore the fact that gold is real money, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring real money. Prices were stable for most of the 19th century when gold was real money. But since 1971, when paper money has been backed by nothing more substantial than "full faith and credit," prices have dramatically increased. Can you remember (even imagine) cigarettes costing $0.25 per pack or buying gasoline for $0.27 per gallon? Pretending unbacked paper money is real money has inflationary consequences.
We can ignore the fact that paper money always returns to its intrinsic value of zero, but we cannot ignore the consequences of that devolution. The dollar used to be "as good as gold." Now it is as good as a politician's promise – an IOU backed by nothing. The dollar has not returned to a zero value yet, but history suggests it will. Ask yourself, "Would I rather leave 170 paper $100 bills or ten (one ounce) gold Eagles to my grandson in 20 years?" I suspect most people have more faith in gold than in paper dollars when planning 20 years into the future. So, if gold will be the clear winner in 20 years, what would you choose for five years into the future? How about 1 year into the future? Will gold or unbacked paper dollars be a better store of value over time? If I need to buy groceries tomorrow, I will choose $100 bills, but if I want a store of value, gold is easily the better choice.
We can ignore the financial and social costs of welfare and warfare, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring the financial and social costs of welfare and warfare. Do welfare subsidies to corporations, foreign countries, and individuals produce enough (anything) to justify their existence? Productive activity is critical because it allows individuals, countries, and civilizations to survive and prosper. Will squandering the results of another person's creative and productive activity enhance either our own life or the nation as a whole?
Does making war on other countries benefit anyone besides military contractors, bankers, oil companies, and politicians? Yes, I know, the threat of a mighty military enhances the dollar's foreign exchange value, its reserve status, and the ease with which we can acquire oil from other countries, but is that worth spending $1 Trillion or so per year? What if half or three-quarters of the welfare and warfare budgets were spent on producing things of value, like sustainable energy, healthy food, shelter, roads, bridges, better technology, efficient transportation, and good health? Would the United States be a better, happier, and healthier place to live if we were less focused on welfare and warfare? If we subsidize butter, we get more butter. Unfortunately, if we subsidize welfare and warfare, we get more of both, and the costs will eventually be paid by individuals and society in general.
We can ignore Quantitative Easing but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring Quantitative Easing. Does printing about $1 Trillion of new money every year to purchase government and banker debt sound like it will end well? Will it be $2 Trillion per year soon? When will it be $4 Trillion per year? Maybe we should not ignore that we have chosen "Quantitative Easing to Infinity." (Inflate or die!) Oops, many of our choices from the last three decades were not wise choices. If spending ourselves $16 Trillion into debt (only the official debt – does not include the $100 Trillion to $200 Trillion in other unfunded liabilities) was not a good idea, then will $25 Trillion in debt be a better idea? They often say, "it will work out somehow…" Yes, that is what concerns me – the specifics of the "somehow!"
We can ignore tax increases, but we cannot ignore the consequences of tax increases. What if tax increases don't increase total revenue as a percentage of GDP? What if people find ways to avoid taxes, reduce their income, cheat, buy exemptions from congress, or stop paying taxes? What if we increase government spending as a percentage of GDP, but the tax revenue does not increase accordingly? Oops again, we are there!
We can ignore unemployment but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring unemployment. The BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) assumes that if an unemployed worker has not found work in one year, then he is no longer unemployed. November's tally – 540,000 people had been unemployed for more than 12 months – so they were no longer counted as unemployed. Hence the "unemployment rate" decreased. However, the total percentage of people working (Labor Force Participation Rate – see graph) has decreased down to the level of 1983, and substantially below its peak in 2000, but the unemployment rate is "magically" lowered.
Hypothetical example: Person X has been unemployed for 53 weeks and is no longer counted as unemployed or in the labor force. Do you think person X's creditors will remove his debts from their accounts receivable and that his monthly expenses will magically be reduced to zero because he is no longer counted as unemployed? If politicians want the unemployment rate to appear even smaller, maybe they should reduce the one year time period down to three months. Whatever works in politics is good – right? Oops, ignoring both reality and the consequences again!
Have you purchased enough gold and silver that you sleep well?

Crowd Surfing
True Story,
Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Tue 4th of October 2011
Attending that concert was a big mistake...
My friend Jen and I were so excited. We waited months to buy tickets for the Mosh pit extravaganza concert in Detroit. Little did we know it would be a huge mistake attending the concert. Our lives would be changed forever. Let me describe myself. My name is Brittney. I exercise everyday and am about 5'2" and 100 pounds soaking wet with rocks in my pocket. My tanned legs and bumble bee bum make guys whistle at me all the time. I have long blond curly hair past my waist and am completely tanned with a six pack and completely shaven. Not bad for a 19 year old girl. That makes many girls jealous of me. My friend Jen is 21 and just about six feet tall. She has long brown hair and works out like crazy. She is thin and has a stomach to die for. Her firm tits stand at attention and love it!
She came to my house that afternoon and we had to decide what to wear. I decided to wear a really small pair of jean Guess shorts. They were inappropriately short and frayed on the bottoms. They barely covered my ass. From in seem to top they were probably only 6 inches. I had little slits up the side seems to show off a bit. Under them I wore little white lacy boy shorts. For a top I wore a white t-shirt over a white string bikini. I had on brown well worn cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Jen jokingly said to me that dressing like that would cause trouble.
Jen didn't like to show off as much skin, but she should have with a long tall tan slender body like she possessed. She decided to wear light blue denim jeans that were torn vertically everywhere. That's the new style. She had on little white socks and runners. For a top she wore a spaghetti string shirt over a two piece really skimpy black bathing suit.
On the way to the concert we drank a few beers and mixed some shots. Jen started to get a little too wasted and I told her to slow down. When we got to the concert; it was packed. We made our way down to the mosh pit area and it seemed guys parted and made way for us.
The music started out and was super loud. As the night went on we drank some more and at a few points I could tell drunken guys were eyeing us up and undressing us with their thoughts. At one point I could feel hands grabbing and rubbing at my ass. A few smacks even came my way. I kind of enjoyed it until later. By about eleven pm Jen was wasted. She couldn't even stand. That's when the trouble began. Jen was hoisted up into a crowd surf. She was so drunk she couldn't keep her head up. Her drunken body was passed across an endless sea of drunk mostly horny men and some women. I thought it would be ok but it turned bad. At first hands touched her everywhere and then the clothes started to be removed. Jen tried to resist but hands grabbed her wrists and legs and held her while she was groped everywhere. I saw her first lose a shoe, then the other. I almost swore she had an orgasm from the attention. As she was surfed around her socks were torn off. All the hands engulfed her and I could see people shouting and cheering and yelling to strip her. A group of people held her still, suspended in the air by her waist (securing her by her belt above her ass and hoisting her face up into the air). A bunch of hands, probably 20 or more clawed at her jeans. The tears in them gave way easily. It was weird, I could see them being torn from her ankles up. The denim slowly disappeared. The crowd thought it was a game slowly taking more and more denim as the tears would see fit. Then they were torn off in a frenzy into little and I mean little shorts. The remaining denim she wore only covered her ass barely, and had the seem still connected under her crotch area. The fingers felt up her legs and I'm sure people were finger fucking her. I could see her moaning and was sure fingers in droves took turns entering her asshole and pussy. She wiggled to get away but was held as if suspended. The crowd roared more and the frenzi continued. Her remaining "little shorts" were torn right off. All that remained was a small black bathing suit with strings on each side holding it on her. The frenzy of hands then went for her top. It was like she wore paper. She was stripped right down to a small black bikini. Even girls in the crowd grabbed the little strings and tugged on them. They pulled them releasing her perky tits. She was flipped over face down to the crowd and guys grabbed and sucked her tits while her ass was raised up in the air. Her bottoms were pulled off and guys clammered to lick her pussy and asshole. She was lowered to the ground in the mosh pit and at least 30 people had their way with her. I could see them pumping away on her body taking turns. Some guys came in seconds in her. Others had their way for minutes in her pussy and asshole. A lineup had formed.
As I tried to get near her to do I don't know what, a group of twenty guys at least lifted me. It was going to be my turn. I know they wanted to see my naked body and have their way with me. I was a little excited but somewhat scared. I didn't last nearly as long as poor Jen crowd surfing. The hands grabbed at my cowboy boots and they were gone in no time. The hands continued up my tanned firm legs like a wave. Some squeezing others massaging me. I didn't know how many people tugged and grabbed at my shorts. I heard guys screaming that they wanted to see that sweet ass under the denim. I was on the big video screen. I tried to hold on to my shorts but too many hands grabbed the pockets, seems and belt loops. I didn't expect them to last the animalistic tugging. The denim lasted only for about a minute. I could hear guys saying that a girl who dressed in jeanshorts like that should get it hard! My sexy cutoff $90 Guess jean shorts were pulled and yanked off by sheer force down my legs and disappeared into the crowd. Guys fought over them like a trophy. I saw a group around them cuming all over them and in their pockets. I think they kept my boyshorts on for awhile to tease me. I was getting a bit wet and had orgasmed twice from all the groping. My boyshorts were getting soaked. I think the frenzied animals in the mosh pit could smell pussy. That was the only thin fabric protecting my body from being ravaged. I had never had my ass squeezed and pinched and fondled so much. A finger even stretched the fabric and entered my ass. It felt good. It went way up. Alot of hands reached up under my shirt and destroyed my bra. Once that was gone the shirt was ripped off. As I was surfed around some pervert decided to have the panties. Off they came. They were pulled down my legs and at least they were kept in one piece. I was thrown to the ground and a group of guys surrounded my. Two guys picked me up and started DP'ing me. Guys held my wrists so I could not move. This went on for it seemed like hours. Eventually my shorts and t-shirt made it back to me somehow. I put them on, but they were soaked in cum. Probably 150 guys had used my clothes as a cum depository. I figure 56 guys had their way with me in the mosh pit.
I saw poor Jen. She was lying on the ground and it looked like it had rained around her. The ground and her was soaked. It was cum everywhere. I helped her up and we got the hell out of there. We would think next time about attending another concert!

Got a bathroom that's falling apart and reluctantly decided that it needs to be re-tiled. As far as I can see tiling is a job that is easy to do badly and hard to do well and as it is a rental property, I'd rather it was done properly for the long-term. So any recommends for a good tiler would be much appreciated. Cheers
Bike Forum
Anyone recommend a good Manchester based tiler?

Closure of the heart valves is associated with an audible sound, called the heartbeat. The first sound occurs when the mitral and tricuspid valves close, the second when the pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves close. These characteristic

The White Sand Beach, which I pretty much could experience in any other hotel, and therefore is nothing special with KC. Terrible food, difficult to get help in the reception, most because they dont want to help (and not because almost everybody did not speak understandable english), terrible internetconnection (though they promised me that the internet connection was very good, and therefore possible for me to work. Which it was not!!!! And made my stay quite exchausting). I really didnt like staying at KC at all, unfortunately.Overrated in all departments. A big dissapointment for me staying here, when experience Koh Chang
Excelent location.Nice beach,quiet and nice staff.Hotel club was a nice place to have a drink after hours of sun and swimming.
Natural environment The cinnamonrestaurant.
Cozy facilities, feeling of privacy, close to the nature and in general, combining location by river, nearby restaurants makes a very special place to stay. The staff was very poorely trained, even 5 times cheaper reaturants on the beach had a much better service. The prices are obviously higher than reality. There is a spa nearby with very nice facilities, professional services, their prices are maybe 30-50% higher than on regular location, but even than it is still 2 times cheaper than in the hotel. Same applies to food.
A lot of sand flies and mosquitoes. Horrible breakfast.
free kayak to the beach no value for the price, hotel needs a renovation, sandflys at the beach, room was partly dirty
Good friendly room service who were helpful over having a baby in the room sleeping at regular intervals. A lot of the wooden walk ways and balconies, pool area decking are starting to rot due to lack of maintenance which meant people could easily injure themselves (in fact my wife did and had a fall). Wireless internet is extremely expensive. 200 Bhat for only 60 minutes of internet which was not that fast and often disconnected. As someone who needed to stay in contact with work this would stop me staying there again. 4 pounds for 60 minutes is more expensive then a hotel in London or New York.
the hole area of the hotel is a hudge tropical garden, which is absolutely beautiful. the restourant is very nice? all the dishes are very nicely decorated? even the simplest, such as fried noodles. the coctails in the bar are also perfect however the location of the hotel is very isolated. the is practically nothing outside. the taxi to White sand beach will cost you 100 BTH. also be aware of tide in the mornings and afternoons
the swimming pool was gorgeous, very important as the sea was very bad breakfast was not the same level than the other prestations
Panviman Koh Chang er et veldig fint hotell i Thai stil. Ligger i en flott tropisk hage, direkte på en rolig strand. Hotellpersonalet gjorde alt de kunne for at vi skulle ha det bra under vårt opphold, og lyktes med det.Gratis shuttlebus inn til White Sand Beach 5 km unna flere ganger daglig. Ingenting å utsette på dette hotellet.
Hyggelig personale og nydelig anlegg ved stranden.
Good location, nice beach near the hotel. Friendly staff, wifi everywhere in the area of the Chill resort. Luxury holidays I spent there. Poor choice of breakfast I would prefere more choice of food in this kind of hotel for the value of money.
great luxury hotel with good swimming pool and friendly staff. Good location near beach/sea and restaurants and 7/11-shop. Would definitely come again. Beach was a bit rocky and not ideal for snorkeling / swimming. No remote for the air-conditioning. Sometimes people in the swimming pool who didn't stay in the hotel-rooms
Very friendly staff, always attentive and helpful. Perfect setting. Pool could do with a clean. Restaurant unnecessarily expesive and consequently very quiet which limited the evening ambiance which had great potential - instead guest went to White Sands 10 minutes away for dinner. Spa prices were exorbitant even by UK prices.
Everything, good food, fabulous location, excellent value Noisy air-con, would have been good to have transport to main beach strip running a little later
Everything was perfect. None
The service and attention of hotel staff were really excellent.
Expensive internet access, mosquitos
Staff was very friendly, room was very clean, roomservice was ok, an adress to go back! It was very difficult to take a decent shower: sometimes the water was hot, two minutes later the water was very cold. We also informed the staff at the lobby.
Beautiful location and beautiful resort.. very calm and quiet..but a little too far from White Sand Beach or other villages. You need every time a taxi or the shuttle of the hotel (only three times a day and none in the evening).Good food at the hotel. Rather expensive at Thai norms.. The hotel asked at arrival a deposit of 50 percent of the total sum, something not foreseen when we booked. We did not agree and payed only ten percent.No free Wifi in the hotel, neither in the lobby. The system to get paid wifi is rather complicated and doesn't function all the time well. So this is not a good hotel when you want to stay in contact with your business at home.
No WiFi available in the rooms. Too secluded from any bars,or restaurants
Private and Quiet beach , Mountain bike very loud aircondition
Nice place, easy access to both beach and the main road, lots of restaurants near the hotel, clean rooms. It would be really lovely to get real coffee for breakfast!
friendly owner, modern rooms 500 meters to the beach is not what I was expecting
The owner Martin helps with advice. No direct beach. 5 minutes to walk. Beach is very nice. But there are other nice accomodations near to beach for same or better price.
In the middle of the west coast of the island. You are not isolated. WiFi in your room. Looks clean and well maintained. Breakfast wasn't special and breakfast-staff was a bit slow.
The best in the hotel is Martin (man on the reception) - this guy speaks fluent english - you will understand that issue after spending few day in thai - local staff usually know just few words. This guy will solve all your problems and help you a lot. Boongalo is nice and fresh with free-wifi. Nothing
Martin Noren - the owner and the manager of this hotel is very helpful and always available at the reception. The hotel territory is small but nice, clean and well-designed. We appreciated the location, which is close to the beach. From the hotel you can easily reach both White sand beach and Lonely beach for instance (by the way we recommend to rent a scooter right here - the price is reasonable). We enjoyed our stay at Noren Resort. We were slightly fed up with the breakfasts, but actually it is not a problem, because you can go out and eat something everywhere.

What software should small businesses rush to buy? Software that helps them run their businesses? Maybe. Software that helps them get new business? Probably. Software that turns their small businesses into bigger businesses? Definitely.
Expect a run on Intuit's forthcoming version of QuickBooks. In what should prove to be one of the most useful enhancements to a business application,
The buying and selling will take place in a virtual marketplace created by Intuit with the help of Intelisys Electronic Commerce, New York, an affiliate of
Access to QuickBook's purchasing services, which will be provided free of charge to users, is a component of a broader electronic services effort by Intuit. Over time, the company says, it will offer small-business customers increasing integration of their purchasing with QuickBook tools.
Internet-based marketplaces, often called buying communities, are catching on as a way to quickly allow businesses to trade goods and services with other businesses. The low cost of entry–often either a small registration fee or an agreement to share a percentage of the proceeds–is expected to be particularly enticing to small- and medium-sized businesses. While participants in electronic marketplaces still have to produce online catalogs and maintain links to back-office software applications, the virtual markets are expected to save them time and money in reaching new business customers.
Meanwhile, the economic potential of business buying communities has lured technology providers near and far. They include e-commerce software specialists, like Intelisys and its archrivals, Ariba Inc. and Commerce One Inc.; full-service vendors, like Hewlett-Packard Co. and IBM Corp., which provide hardware, software and hosting services; and hundreds of software firms that specialize in different aspects of e-commerce, such as marketing automation. "A remarkable transformation has already begun to occur," declares Doug Chapin, vice president and general manager of Hewlett-Packard's operation and management services. "It will have more impact in the next few years than anything else to date in the Internet." For HP, which hosts Chase's Intelisys-based purchasing community in its St. Louis, Mo., facility, the transformation is also under way: HP expects to generate 20% of its more than $47 billion annual revenue from such "e-services" and Internet projects in two to three years.
Yet most of the efforts in business-to-business e-commerce have been limited to larger players. For example, Intelisys customers include
In the case of Intelisys, it is the vendor's IEC-Enterprise software that has created the e-commerce link between its corporate users and MRO suppliers. Department-level users of the IEC-Enterprise software can use it to compare products and fill out electronic purchase orders, which are then sent to their managers. If the manager approves the purchase order, it is forwarded to the supplier, which ships the goods and electronically invoices the company. Users of IEC-Enterprise have said the product has a particularly strong link between the intranet on which it typically resides and the Internet. This strong link allows a department-level purchaser to more easily compare products from approved suppliers that maintain product catalogs on their own sites. Once accessed, the purchaser can quickly return to the IEC-Enterprise software on his or her company's intranet and continue the procurement process.
The economic potential of business-to-business communities, whether involving massive corporate entities like Ford or home-based businesses, has not escaped the notice of industry analysts. U.S. business trade on the Internet will rise to $1.3 trillion in 2003 from $43 billion in 1998, according to Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research. In all cases, Internet-based trading efforts start small but grow rapidly as early adopters use their industry clout to pull suppliers and customers online, Forrester notes. Once these companies realize the efficiencies of Internet trading, they will persuade their business partners to join them online.
Such is likely to be the case with Intuit's electronic-commerce community. Not all 3 million QuickBook users will be logging on immediately to buy and sell business goods and services. Not immediately. But you can hear them coming.

If you happened to catch the full moon over the weekend, you may have noticed a slightly bigger and brighter display than usual — a lunar view that captivated skywatchers around the world. Dubbed the "supermoon," Sunday's full moon on June 23 was the largest moon of the year, because the moon's full phase coincided with its arrival at perigee, its closest distance from Earth.
In spots with good weather Sunday night, the moon offered an awesome sight.
"Because of the haze, the rising moon exhibited a vivid reddish orange color, similar to that of a deep total lunar eclipse," photographer Edwin Aguirre, who snapped photos of the supermoon from Boston, told SPACE.com in an email. "Others thought it looked like the red planet Mars. The sky cooperated so everyone had a great time." [Photos: Dazzling Supermoon Views for June 2013]
"Dozens of people, young and old, gathered well before dark where we were — at Robbins Farm Park in Arlington, which overlooks the city skyline," Aguirre wrote. "They brought blankets and lawn chairs — and their dogs — to enjoy not only the spectacular view, but also the nice, cool evening breeze, which was a welcome relief from the heat and humidity earlier in the day."In many places, moon watching over the weekend was a big event.
Some celebrated the supermoon in style.
"Took the kids out to see the supermoon near Las Vegas," wrote Tyler S. Leavitt, whose children dressed in capes and spandex for the occasion. "They had so much fun running around as superheroes as the moon rose."
The supermoon occurs because the moon's orbit around our planet is not perfectly circular, so sometimes it swings closer than others. When the moon is also full at the time, it creates a vision that's about 12 percent larger in the sky than other full moons.
In addition, when the moon is sighted low on the horizon, behind trees and buildings, the contrast can create an optical illusion that makes the moon seem even bigger.
"The total personal experience is surely wonderful!!" Giuseppe Petricca from Pisa, Italy wrote in an email. "And the 'horizon illusion' makes you really think that the moon is way bigger that the reality."
If you missed this supermoon, your next chance to observe an especially large full moon is more than a year away, on Aug. 10, 2014.

From the Publisher:
When Charlotte Lucas married Mr Collins, she did not love him but had at least secured her future.
However, what price must she pay for that future? She once said she was not romantic, but how true is that now after almost one year of marriage?
Mr Collins is submissive in the extreme to his patroness, and his constant simpering, fawning and deference to the overbearing and manipulative Lady Catherine de Bourgh is sure to try the patience of a saint, or at least of Charlotte.
As Charlotte becomes part of Hunsford society, she discovers she is not the only one who has been forced to submit to the controlling and often hurtful hand of Lady Catherine.
She feels trapped and realises her need for love and affection. She is not as content as she once thought she would be. The easiest thing to do would be to maintain the peace and do as she is told. But as Charlotte witnesses the misery around her due to her inimitable neighbour, she must decide to remain as she is or to begin a chain of events that will change not only her life but also the lives of those around her in the village of Hunsford forever.
But...after all, doesn't every girl deserve a happy ending?

Atlas Genetics Ltd Completes £16.9 Million Series B Financing led by Novartis Venture Funds
BRISTOL, England, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Funds to Accelerate Launch of Velox™ Point-of-care Test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea
Atlas Genetics Ltd ("Atlas" or the "Company"), a diagnostic company developing ultra-rapid point-of-care tests for a range of infectious diseases, announces that it has raised £16.9 million from a syndicate of new and existing investors led by Novartis Venture Funds, and Consort Medical plc.
The new investors in this series B financing are Novartis Venture Funds, LSP (Life Sciences Partners), BB Biotech Ventures and Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation.
The £16.9 million investment, which will be drawn down over three years, will be used to accelerate the global launch of the Velox™ point-of-care products for Chlamydia and gonorrhoea. It will also be used for the development of other infectious disease tests and expand the immunoassay capability of the Velox™ system.
Velox™ is a highly novel molecular diagnostic system for the ultra-rapid diagnosis of a broad range of infectious diseases using either nucleic acid or immuno-assays. It is based on a patent-protected electrochemical sensor that combines speed and accuracy.
The Velox™ system will make it possible, for the first time, to carry out infectious disease tests in primary care clinics and GP surgeries that are as accurate as those carried out in hospital laboratories. This will help clinicians commence treatment promptly and ensure much improved compliance, particularly in the area of sexually transmitted diseases where a significant proportion of patients fail to return for test results or follow on treatment.
The newly announced financing follows a £1.5 million round in February 2011 supported by Consort Medical plc and other investors. The Company has been funded previously, and continues to be supported, by YFM Equity Partners, Braveheart Investment Group, Wyvern Asset Management, the Crescent Seedcorn Fund and private investors.
Dr John Clarkson, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas, commented: "We are delighted to welcome the new investors at this exciting time when the Company's first product, a test for the sexually transmitted disease Chlamydia, is being transferred to manufacture and the core capabilities of the sensor chemistry are being expanded. This investment syndicate led by Novartis Venture Funds brings a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector and an extensive network of contacts in the diagnostics industry."
Florent Gros, Managing Director, Novartis Venture Funds, commented: "Dr Clarkson and his team have accomplished quite an astonishing technical feat. We have searched hard and long for novel molecular diagnostic technologies and the Velox™ platform is a very ingenious solution to the key issues that have hindered the development of ultra rapid and highly sensitive point-of-care molecular diagnostic instrumentation. Combined with the ability to make immunoassay tests this makes for a diversified all-in-one diagnostic platform that will be commercialized around the end of 2012. We are very excited by the Company's prospects."

Instead what happens is the link is hidden, then the content is shown. Then the content is slid up and the link is slid down. So instead of instant>slide and slide>instant, it does instant>instant and slide>slide
side note: slideDown doesn't seem to work on jsfiddle, but the end result is the same as I get on a normal site where slideDown does work.

It seems to be more like instant>instant and slide>instant.
- The a.alt-toggle element isn't actually being animated, its display property is being toggled between "none" and "inline-block".
- By calling .hide() on .alt-content on line 15 in your jsfiddle, you set its display property to "none". When slideDown gets called on the element, lines 308-312 in the effects module gets skipped which is why it shows instantly. If you inspect the element though, you'll see that the height property is being incremented.
When you try animating inline elements, you're gonna have a bad time. Height and width properties do not apply on inline elements. Your best bet is to use a block-level element for your .alt-content like a <p> or <div>.
There's probably a dupe of this somewhere in the tracker (and likely closed as notabug).

- You're right, after extensive testing I've determined it was a trick of the eyes.
- That code looks like it gets called for both hiding and showing. Since .hide() is only being called once when the document is ready, why does that effect slideDown but not slideUp?
That said, it does work with <div>. <a> version: http://jsfiddle.net/UhEQ6/12/ <div> version: http://jsfiddle.net/UhEQ6/13/
It still seems like something is amiss to me, though maybe it's only an issue for people who don't know what they're doing.

This is a bug. We should be accounting for defaultDisplay when animating width/height.

Ensure display: inline-block when animating width/height on inline elements. Fixes #14344.
