Book 'Octopus Dismantling Cikeas: Behind the Century Bank scandal' written by George Aditjondro since the last two days hard to find. Not clear why the book could not be found in bookstores. In the event of withdrawal of the book, then this is considered as a bad precedent.
"Hopefully this will not happen, the government made the withdrawal of books. If this happens obviously a bad precedent," said political observer Yudi Latif when found in Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta, Sunday (27/12/2009) night.
According to Yudi, if it is true the book 'Dismantling Cikeas Octopus' withdrawn, it is regarded as a setback of reform has been running from 10 years. Withdrawal of the book, said Yudi, is the style of an authoritarian government.
"Censorship of the book really is the antithesis of democracy. Withdrawal of the book features authoritarian government," explained the man with glasses.
Yudi added, the withdrawal of books by the government is an indicator that can distinguish clearly a democratic government with authoritarian rule. Yudhi further explained, if there are objections to the facts presented in the book, then the government does not need to make a withdrawal of the book.
"If there are facts that are considered wrong, the game is not the withdrawal of the book. Kan can pass legal mechanisms. If there is one data writer you could have the author must account for incorrect data or with an apology," Yudhi added.
Withdrawal of the book, light Yudi, it can make assumptions as to justify the fact that it contains. If there are errors in the book data, then Yudi suggested that given the data errors alone and let people judge.
"If the error can be shown, it actually makes the book value declined to be rubbish. But if the book had nothing, certainly not his fault, just withdrawn, it raises a big question," added Yudi.

Hello everyone,
I am giving my little green thumb another go. After losing all my plants to the demon Root Aphids I almost wanted to give up completely with having plants and everything. It was just devastating to watch plant after plant die from the roots out. I tried everything aside from harsh chemicals that may have been harmful to my kitties.
I have a very young and curious kitty and it is so important to bring in plants that are non-toxic for them. This Boston Fern is a non toxic for cat and dogs plant and I chose to hang it for now to rid that temptation. I am hoping the kitty gets used to having a plant around and hopefully will lose that desire to eat it. The Plant I bought here is already full and looking at it now I could have separated it into multiple plants but I didn't. I will save that for next year or something. I did re-pot it into a slightly bigger pot so it will be happy for the year.
General Care
The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) likes a humid environment, warm slightly on the cooler side and shady indirect light is best. Since most homes are on the dry side it is a good idea to add humidity by misting the plant and keeping the soil moist. Since this plant is a bit of a water guzzler it will add to the overall humidity of the home. A great air purifier as well. The soil should be moist without being soggy. The soil should be a mix of peat moss, perlite and all-purpose soil. When re-potting do not cover the crown as this can lead to crown rot. The Fern can be propagated by separating a larger plant by cutting the roots apart or from baby ferns on runners. Looking at my plant I think I have runners happening but I don't see baby ferns. After the baby ferns on the runners are large enough to sustain themselves they can be cut away and planted. Ferns can tolerate being cut back so the older fronds can be trimmed down if they start to age dry and brown. Ferns do not require fertilizing as the soils usually already contain them and the plant is fast growing in ideal conditions.

Uniting to help the homeless
Leeds United Foundation, the official charity of the famous football club, has launched a unique fundraising event to support the city's homeless and expand its work in the community.
The 'Big United Sleep Out' will see over 100 volunteers face the challenges of homelessness by agreeing to sleep out overnight at Trinity Leeds on Thursday 14th April. Retailer Marks & Spencer, which first started trading in Leeds Kirkgate market in 1884, is also supporting the initiative by providing a 'Survivors' Breakfast' at its café in the Leeds Trinity store. Employees from the store will also be swapping their beds for blankets.
Mick Ferguson, Leeds United Foundation CEO, said:
"Leeds is one of the very best cities in the UK but there is an increasing challenge of children and young people facing homelessness. At Christmas, that is especially heart breaking. We want to pull together so that nobody is alone in facing such a desperate situation. The Big United Sleep Out will help raise all important funds so that we can support them and give them hope, guidance and the opportunities that they desperately need."
Leeds United legend Eddie Gray and Coronation Street star Colson Smith joined the launch at Trinity Leeds, encouraging fans, Christmas shoppers and the wider public to sign up and lend their support. The pair also handed out food and hot drinks to the homeless, along with sleeping bags.
Colson Smith, Leeds United Foundation Ambassador said:
"This is a great initiative by the Foundation to make sure our children and young people in particular are steered away from having to sleep rough. In the modern day it's something you don't expect and I was personally shocked when I saw some of the challenges they face. I'd encourage as many people as possible across this great city to volunteer, join us for the sleep out and raise as much as they can to support this great cause."
'His Church' Charity has also pledged its support by providing sleeping bags and refreshments for the event.
Mark Robson, Finance and Operations Manager at M&S Leeds, said:
"We are committed to supporting local communities as part of M&S's Plan A commitments. Here in Leeds, we have chosen The Archway as our store's Charity of the Year and we're delighted to be working with the Leeds United Foundation on this campaign. Some M&S colleagues will be taking part in the sleep over and I'm sure the volunteers will enjoy our 'Survivors' Breakfast' the following day. It's a great campaign for a very worthy cause."
Those wishing to take part in the event can sign up by emailing email@example.com for more information or calling 0113 367 6014. Registration is free and each volunteer will receive 2 tickets to a Leeds United home game.

A scene from the video game Tomb Raider.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
LOS ANGELES — It's been four years — almost a generation in video game years — since Lara Croft embarked on a Tomb Raider expedition. The unenviable task of rebooting the well-known and well-worn series seemed impossible, but with a gritty and focused approach, it's one developer Crystal Dynamics got almost completely right with Croft's latest adventure.
Tomb Raider finds an inexperienced young Croft shipwrecked and separated from her crew on a mysterious island in Japan's brutal Devil's Triangle. This isn't the savvy, sexy, and sassy Croft that hunted down relics in the previous eight games and two films starring Angelina Jolie.
This is a vulnerable Croft, one who's never had to resort to killing another person. Over the course of the lengthy single-player experience, this Croft must survive the elements, amass an arsenal, rescue her friends, and battle a cult of castaways. It's the tale of her transformation from thrill-seeker to superheroine. It's Batman Begins for Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider is mostly a story about survival, so Croft begins with almost nothing, eventually accumulating some firearms, as well as climbing tools like an ax and rope. It's the first weapon Croft finds, a silent but deadly bow and arrow, that's the most satisfying to employ. This Tomb Raider does for the bow what GoldenEye did for the sniper rifle.
The game's winding trails, claustrophobic caves, and perilous cliffside formations created by lead level designer Chris Botta and his team are some of the most imaginative and thrilling platforming elements crafted in recent years. Some tombs that Croft comes across are optional excursions, but they're all so well done, it shouldn't be a choice to skip 'em.
Tomb Raider also sounds as good as it feels. Jason Graves' powerfully tense score and Camilla Luddington's performance as Croft hit the right tone, and the conversations Croft overhears between many of the island's all-male goons are so enlightening and humorous, players will want to let the reticle linger a bit longer to eavesdrop on all the chatter.
Tomb Raider isn't perfect though. Sometimes it's sloppy. Croft falls — off cliffs, through roofs, into the ocean — more than those dwarfs in The Hobbit, and that's not even including the moments when the X button isn't mashed quickly enough. Surely there must be more creative ways for Croft to go from Point A to Point B on the mythical Yamatai island.
The weakest link is Croft's laughably underdeveloped shipmates. Each is a cliche: bespectacled geek, gentle giant, wise old man. It's difficult to sympathize with Croft for putting herself through hell to save them, or understand why the writers couldn't create 3-D supporting characters like in the Uncharted games.
Speaking of that epic treasure-hunting franchise, while the developers have clearly borrowed some of Nathan Drake's moves, they've created more than an Uncharted clone. The tone is darker, and the levels are less linear. This is not just Uncharted or Assassin's Creed with Lara Croft, it's Tomb Raider for a new era.

I had a wonderful hour-long catch-up via Skype with my brother Rogan, last night. One of the enjoyable things of us both having excellent broadband is that staying in voice (and even video) contact is easy. They have lived in Southfork, Colorado since January 2007:
Images from GoogleEarth. '>HERE'S THE PLACEMARK
Nicole, Amy, Caroline, Rogan, Emma - Looking so much more relaxed than we we last saw them 9 months ago
They recently purchased their first home - something they had not been able to do when living in Zimbabwe. It is a typical wooden house for the mountain area they live in, and was originally delivered on a truck, in two halves. Their eldest daughter Amy is home from College for the summer, and they all have had summer jobs. Nichole will start College in the Autumn, about 75 miles away. Emma stays at the local High School. They seem to be very happy with their new life - different for sure - but not so much of the general stress that comes with just living between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers these days.

Looking for IPV6 Expert for building a squid proxy server
Budget $30-250 USD
I'm looking for an expert on IPV6 and squid (linux)
We want a squid proxy server on debian which has some special requirements. (not sure if if it is possible at all or requires custom programming)
1) the proxy server is using ipv6 to make outbound connections. It has a /64 block IPv6.
2) I have a server application on another server (ipv4) that needs a proxy to run.
Now what I want is some kind of ipv4 to ipv6 mechanism on my ipv6 proxy server. E.g I must be able to enter 1 ipv4 address in my application server, which will then connect to my ipv6 server and internally the ipv6 server will rotate all available ipv6's and use them as outbound connection.
Hope i'm clear with this explaination.
I'm looking for someone who can build this type of ipv4-->ipv6 proxy server for me.
5 freelance font une offre moyenne de $156 pour ce travail
Hi! Check pls pmb!Thx
Please see PMB.

I am a Linux professional will implement your goal within 2 days

Best Ensemble
Will Win - The Help
Should Win - The Help or Bridesmaids
Could Win - The Artist
Commentary - I firmly believe that the ensemble award should go to the film in which the cast truly performs as an ensemble, each character intricate to the plot, and not necessarily about one actor or even two that make it worth while. That is why I cheered decisions like Inglorious Basterds and abhorred decisions like Slumdog Millionaire (although I still thought it deserved Best Picture). This year, the two films that fit that mold are The Help and Bridesmaids. Either deserve it, and both could be left out if The Artist sweep is strong enough. But my guess is that the actors love The Help enough to give it a win here.
Best Actor - Film
Will Win - George Clooney "The Descendants"
Should Win - Brad Pitt "Moneyball"
Could Win - Jean Dujardin "The Artist"
Commentary - I recently rewatched Moneyball, and was reminded of just how damn good Brad Pitt was. While I think he has a shot here, my guess is that his friend, and frequent co-star George Clooney will win instead for his emotional portrayal in The Descendants. The wild card here is Dujardin. If the actors become infatuated with The Artist, he could be swept into the mix.
Best Actress - Film
Will Win/Should Win - Viola Davis "The Help"
Could Win - Meryl Streep "The Iron Lady" or Michelle Williams "My Week With Marilyn"
Commentary - This is a tough race to call, with three leading ladies all having a legitimate shot. My guess though is that the acting power of The Help, combined with the possibility that two biopic stars steal votes away from each other, will be too much for any other contenders to overcome and Davis will take home the gold. But watch out for Streep, she is hot on her tails.
Best Supporting Actor - Film
Will Win/Should Win - Christopher Plummer "Beginners"
Could Win - Really can't see anyone else doing so, although Branagh looks like his next biggest competition.
Commentary - Without Albert Brooks, this category is quite simply incomplete, but it paves the way for the legendary Christopher Plummer to finally get some recognition. At the Oscars, the inclusion of Von Sydow complicates matters, but here it looks like smooth sailing to the podium.
Best Supporting Actress - Film
Will Win - Octavia Spencer "The Help"
Should Win - Spencer or Jessica Chastain "The Help"
Could Win - Melissa McCarthy "Bridesmaids", Chastain, or Berenice Bejo "The Artist"
Commentary - The only person I think who doesn't have a shot in hell is Janet McTeer. Each of the other contenders could hear their name's called. My guess is Spencer continues her march to the Oscar, but Chastain could pull votes away. Bejo, like Dujardin, could ride an Artist wave. But my guess is that Spencer's longtime friend Melissa McCarthy is her biggest challenger. Yes, Melissa McCarthy. She will have the television crowd in her corner, and could be enough to propel her to a shocking victory.
Best Ensemble - Drama Series
Will Win - Boardwalk Empire
Should Win - The Good Wife or Breaking Bad
Could Win - Game of Thrones
Commentary - The exclusion of Homeland is interesting to me, and the inclusion of Dexter is just appauling. But that being said, it is a four way race. The Good Wife or Breaking Bad should win, and both certaintly could pull off a win. But the sprawling casts of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones seem more up the SAG's alley. Of the two, my guess is that Empire repeats.
Best Ensemble - Comedy Series
Will Win - Modern Family
Should Win - The Big Bang Theory
Could Win - Glee or 30 Rock
Commentary - Glee, with its huge cast is always a possibility, and The Big Bang Theory's quirky group is deserving. But the power of Modern Family has overtaken the awards circuit, and should take the prize.
Best Actor - Drama Series
Will Win/Should Win - Bryan Cranston "Breaking Bad"
Could Win - Steve Buscemi "Boardwalk Empire" or Kyle Chandler "Friday Night Lights"
Commentary - Bryan Cranston is mesmerizing on Breaking Bad, but Buscemi won this last year, and could repeat. The one to look out for is Kyle Chandler who pulled off a surprise Emmy win, and could get an outgoing prize for FNL.
Best Actress - Drama Series
Will Win - Julianna Margulies "The Good Wife"
Should Win - Margulies or Jessica Lange "American Horror Story"
Could Win - Lange or Glenn Close "Damages"
Commentary - Jessica Lange shold win for her biting turn in AHS, and especially since she will most likely not be back next season, this is her chance. Margulies though will probably win, which is perfectly fine with me. Watch out also for Close, who could win this as an honor for both Damages and Albert Nobbs.
Best Actor - Comedy Series
Will Win - Alec Baldwin "30 Rock"
Should Win - Steve Carrell "The Office"
Could Win - Carrell or Burrell or Stonestreet
Commentary - Alec has won this five times in a row, and while it would be nice to see Carell to get some recognition, and completely possible that one of the Modern Family guys steals it away, but it is probably not a safe to bet against Baldwin
Best Actress - Comedy Series
Will Win - Betty White "Hot in Cleveland"
Should Win - Julie Bowen "Modern Family"
Could Win - Tina Fey "30 Rock"
Commentary - Fey could win, or one of the Modern Family women, but the SAG's love Betty White, and probably as long as she is still working they will find a way to honor her.
Best Actress - TV Movie/Miniseries
Will Win - Kate Winslet "Mildred Pierce"
Should Win - Winslet or Lane
Could Win - Betty White "The Lost Valentine"
Commentary - As is the case with all of the awards this year, Winslet seems to have this one in the bag, and I would be shocked if anyone else wins.
Best Actor - TV Movie/Miniseries
Will Win - Guy Pearce "Mildred Pierce"
Should Win - Laurence Fishburne "Thurgood"
Could Win - Laurence Fishburne "Thurgood" and Paul Giamatti "Too Big to Fail"
Commentary - Laurence Fishburne gives a masterful performance and Giamatti is an actor's favorite. But my money is with Guy Pearce who won an Emmy for his role in Mildred Pierce.

As the peer-to-peer marketplace expands in size and scope, it will increasingly upend the hospitality, tourism and transportation industries.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
In its latest trend report, JWT, the world's best-known marketing communications brand, surveys the latest travel trends, focusing on the rise of peer-to-peer services and hyper-personalization, as well as a range of other developments, from holographic concierges to pop-up hotels.
"As the peer-to-peer marketplace expands in size and scope, it will increasingly upend the hospitality, tourism and transportation industries," says Ann Mack, director of trendspotting at JWT. "But it will also present opportunities to established travel brands. In partnering with peer-powered businesses or launching their own version of a P2P service, for instance, they can infuse freshness or modernity into their persona, broaden their appeal or get an existing consumer segment to look at them in an interesting new light."
Travel is also getting hyper-personalized, thanks in part to the rise of Big Data and social media sharing. "Today's travel industry is starting to fine-tune offerings around individuals—increasingly, even first-time customers will be known entities as companies shift from reactive information gathering to proactively researching customers before they arrive," says Jessica Vaughn, JWT senior trends strategist.
The report also takes a look at Millennial travelers, whose adventurous and social approach to travel is influencing the industry in a number of ways, and maps out more than 20 Things to Watch in travel, from innovative tech tools and services to new categories of hotels to the next hot vacation theme.
JWT's "Travel: Changing Course" is the result of quantitative, qualitative and desk research conducted by JWTIntelligence throughout the year. It includes data from a survey we conducted in the U.S. and the U.K. from Nov. 9–19, 2012, in which we polled 1,006 adults aged 18-plus, and input from experts and influencers in the travel, investment and marketing sectors.
The report can be found on JWTIntelligence.com. Additional knowledge and research on JWTIntelligence.com includes recent trend reports on mobile, embracing analog, health and happiness, food and JWT's 10 Trends for 2013 and 100 Things to Watch in 2013.
JWT is the world's best-known marketing communications brand. Headquartered in New York, JWT is a true global network with more than 200 offices in over 90 countries, employing nearly 10,000 marketing professionals. JWT consistently ranks among the top agency networks in the world and continues a dominant presence in the industry by staying on the leading edge—from producing the first-ever TV commercial in 1939 to developing award-winning branded content today. JWT embraces a WORLDMADE philosophy, making things inspired by the world through blending technological innovation with international imagination. JWT has forged deep relationships with clients including Bayer, Diageo, Ford, HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg's, Kimberly-Clark, Macy's, Mondelez, Nestlé, Nokia, Rolex, Royal Caribbean, Schick, Shell, Unilever, Vodafone, Vonage and many others. JWT's parent company is WPP (NASDAQ: WPPGY). For more information, please visit http://www.jwt.com and follow us @JWT_Worldwide.
JWTIntelligence is a center for provocative thinking that is a part of JWT. We make sense of the chaos in a world of hyper-abundant information and constant innovation—finding quality amid the quantity. We focus on identifying changes in the global zeitgeist so as to convert shifts into compelling opportunities for brands. We have done this on behalf of multinational clients across several categories including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, home and personal care.

He steps closer, pressing his body against mine. I push at his chest but he doesn't seem to notice, or, if he has, doesn't care. "What do you want?" I manage to whimper out.
"You know what I want." He says undressing me with his eyes. "I want you."
"St-st-stay away from m-m-me." I stutter out.
"Idon't think you want me to." He replies a smug expression dancing on his face, as he nibbles on my earlobe. "I am the only one who can set your body on fire like this" licking down the side of my neck and sucking where my neck finishes.

Crisis lessons from Irving Fisher. Enrique G.
Mendoza, 12 February 2009 This column rehabilitates Irving Fisher's debt-deflation theory to explain the current crisis. It suggests that fiscal stimulus will do little to prevent the crisis from becoming a protracted slump because the problem lies in finance. A cure will require reversing deflation and restarting the credit system. "…in the great booms and depressions, each of the above named factors (over production, underconsumption, over capacity, price dislocation, over confidence, over investment, over saving etc.) has played a subordinate role as compared with two dominant factors, namely, over indebtedness to start with and deflation following soon after;… where any of the other factors do become conspicuous, they are often merely effects or symptoms of these two." The credit crunch may cause another great depression. The crisis is shaping up to be a perfect storm – a huge surge in uncertainty that is generating a rapid slow-down in activity, a collapse of banking preventing many of the few remaining firms and consumers that want to invest from doing so, and a shift in the political landscape locking in the damage through protectionism and anti-competitive policies.
Back in June 2008 I wrote a piece for VOXEU predicting a mild recession in 2009. The crisis of 2008: Structural lessons for and from economics. Foreign Policy: Why China's Currency Manipulation Doesn't Matter. With just a few words in his Senate confirmation hearing, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner resurrected the long-held American accusation that China's penchant for money management is hurting the U.S. economy. President Obama -- backed by the conclusions of a broad range of economists -- believes that China is manipulating its currency, Geithner wrote in his prepared remarks.
As the argument goes, an undervalued Chinese currency makes the country's exports artificially cheap, giving Chinese goods an unfair competitive edge. Reduced demand for American goods hurts U.S. manufacturers and limits the size of the U.S. job market. China is taking jobs from the American heartland. Blaming China for flailing U.S. manufacturing may be good domestic politics, but Geithner should hold his tongue. Geithner's is certainly not the last Western complaint we will hear of China's currency, particularly now with an economic crisis in full swing. It Was the Saving Glut? The paradox of thrift. Or, how come you used to say that if consumers don't save more, it will wreck the economy, and now you say, if consumers do save more, it will wreck the economy?
For the record, I am certainly among those who had been suggesting that America's low saving rate was a significant problem. Let me begin by reviewing why I said that. Recall that we can separate the various components of GDP (Y) in terms of goods and services purchased by consumers (C), government purchases (G), investment spending (I), and net exports (X): Opinion: Expect a Prolonged Slump - WSJ.com - Mozilla Firefox. Mortgage Rates Likely Headed to 4.5%: Pimco's Gross - Economy * Pimco's Gross on the Current Financial Crisis The shift in economic growth has most of the world's connected economies and their citizens in shock, says William Gross, Pimco co-chief investment officer/founder In addition to driving down mortgage rates and stimulating home-buying, the government's efforts also could include a move to cap Treasurys rates to encourage investors to take more risk, Gross said during a live interview on CNBC.
Bank Balance Sheet: Liquidity and Solvency, Par. By Bill McBride on 4/26/2009 11:57:00 AM Note: I took some short cuts to make this simple - think of this conceptually.
I'm intentionally mixing financial institutions. For commercial banks, the FDIC stopped the bank run by upping the FDIC insurance. For investment banks, the Fed provided the liquidity. Please think of this conceptually or I'll have to write 100 pages ... This post looks at a bank balance sheet and a liquidity crisis. Economics and the crisis of 2008. No, Greenspan Was Not Right. Nick Rowe asks an interesting question: In 2003, Alan Greenspan argued that the Fed needed to set low interest rates to prevent falling into a liquidity trap and deflationary spiral...
In 2008, Greenspan's critics argue that those same low interest rates caused an asset bubble, which burst, causing the economy to fall into a liquidity trap and deflationary spiral. A New Depression?

Stanley Fischer would be the perfect choice. He has an ideal combination of all the desirable qualities, unique in the literal sense that nobody else has them. Richard Rorty and the efficient markets debat. I use the efficient markets hypothesis in my research and in my blog.
Once I started looking at the world through the EMH lens, I found it much easier to understand the relationship between policy and the financial markets—particularly in my research on the Depression. Here I'd like to do three things; indicate why I believe markets are more efficient than they seem, acknowledge that there are events that look like market inefficiency, and then argue that those perceived inefficiencies, even if real, don't have the policy implications that many people assume they have. Last Sunday I discussed cognitive illusions, aspects of economic theory that are highly counter-intuitive. I regard the EMH as one such economic theory—strange, but (almost) true.

This is a financial crisis to remember.
The financial losses are measured in trillions of dollars; elite financial institutions have fallen; fear and mistrust are widespread among investors and lenders; credit markets are not operating except for those with very short maturities; massive and unorthodox policy interventions are an every day occurrence; and we have been, and continue to be, on the verge of a global financial meltdown.

My family and I have been saying at this cottage on Pleasant Beach for more than 10 years. It fits our family of five comfortably with room to spare. The beach and cove are right outside the door, and it has nice water views. It is a great place to spend the day but is also within striking distance of all the major attractions, including Port Clyde, Spruce Head, Rockland, the Camden Hill State Park and a half-dozen light houses. It's the perfect place for a family of day-trippers who want to hike, go to the beach, or access some of the best restaurants the area has to offer. It is extremely affordable and is located along a quiet cove away from the crowds. Truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
The house was dirty. No cleaning between the renters. And a large box with a wood burning stove was parked in the middle of the living room area. House needs a good cleaning.
Maine is great this time of year. Not too busy. The house was a little unkempt but was comfortable. Nice fire pit for the late evening S'mores. Had a great time.
My wife and I have stayed in this cottage during the last three summers while we were taking classes at a woodworking school in nearby Rockport, Maine. The cottage has always met our needs comfortably. The surrounding area is very peaceful and the views of the rocky seashore are very beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped with whatever might be needed to prepare a meal but we frequently ate our dinners at one of the many restaurants in the vicinity. The beds are comfortable but as others have written you should provide your own pillows and linens. Overall it provides a comfortable place to stay while you explore the beautiful mid-coast of Maine and is very reasonably priced.
Overall it was a resonable accomodation for the price. There were a few unexpected events, but nothing that reuined our vacation. We had to leave a few days earlier than expected due to personal issues. Wi-fi is not that strong and not always available throughout the cottage. The place is only as clean as the last person who stayed there, so it was not as clean as we would have liked. But we mopped and swept and scrubbed when we got there and before we left. There is not an actual beach, but a boat launch only. But you can take the kayak out from there. You will need to carry it a ways from the cottage. However the beds are very comfortable and it is very peaceful and quiet. Also a new large gas grill was available that the ow er purchased just a few weeks prior to our stay. You will need to bring your own linens and towels. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Downtown Rockland is only about 10 minutes away with lots of lovely shops.
In fairness to the owner, when the place proved unsuitable for us, he refunded our money. Be warned that there are no spectacular views, no beach view, no ocean view from this rental property. The owner has another property with the same name close by, with water views. Renters for the smaller cottage must bring their own sheets & pillowcases.

About Dlinza Forest Accommodation
Dlinza Forest Accommodation is situated in the historical town of Eshowe in Zululand, KwaZulu Natal. Eshowe is 1½ hours from the city of Durban. A warm Zululand welcome awaits you; Alan and Bev will be your hosts and your comfort is our priority.
Self Catering Log Cabins
There are four unique, tastefully furnished fully equipped self catering log cabins, set in a tranquil garden bordering the Dlinza Forest, where abundant bird life is ideal for bird watching.
Each cabin consists of an open plan kitchen, seating area and bedroom, with a bathroom leading off the main area (sleeps maximum of two adults and two children). All cabins have a covered patio and braai (BBQ) facilities. All cabins have a DStv package and there is secure parking.
The Dlinza Forest
The edge of our garden is the beginning of the 250 ha indigenous Dlinza Forest, one of the many beautiful forests in Zululand. The forest is easily accessible and is currently visited by birdwatchers from all over the world hoping to catch a glimpse of rare bird species, such as the Spotted Ground Thrush (Zoothera guttata) or the Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon (Columba delegorguei).
The forest echoes with the calls of Trumpeter Hornbills, Purple-crested Turacos (Purple-crested Lourie) and Narina Trogons (as does our garden). For a nominal fee, forest walks are only 200m away.
Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk
The Dlinza Forest has an impressive 125 metre aerial boardwalk, at an elevation of 10 metres which allows visitors to walk right under the canopy of Dlinza's indigenous scarp forest and culminates in a 20 metre observation tower with a breathtaking view. The walkway, which is wheelchair friendly, provides intimate access to 65 bird and 85 butterfly species, as well as to small mammals such as blue duiker, bush pigs and bush babies.
Shakaland, famous for depicting Zulu culture is in close proximity to Eshowe as well as various museums, battlefields and the Phobane Dam (Bass Fishing). The Hluhluwe / Umfolozi Park, containing the Big Five, is also only one hour's drive away. Eshowe is situated 25 km inland from the warm Indian Ocean.

When I ask someone if they read e-books, I usually get some version of that meme about "the smell and feel" of a "real" book. But when I show someone an e-reader they say, Wow! When I pull my e-reader out in a public place to read, it always attracts attention and I happily answer questions and show people how easy it is to use. Very few people know what an e-reader looks like or how to acquire an e-book and read it. And that's a shame, because there are so many free digital repositories of knowledge and great literature. After helping find e-reading solutions for a woman who'd given up reading because she was paralyzed but for the minimal use of one hand, I realized promoting e-reading literacy could be life changing on many levels for a wide range of people.
I teamed up with author Shara Lanel to arrange public demonstrations of e-reading in places where readers gather. In approaching book sellers and libraries about working through them, I couldn't land one yes to the idea. I think with time, education and persuasion I can change that.
In some instances a lack of knowledge and fear of something new motivated the resistance. In other cases greed and the battle to control the market barred the doors. I'm not here to name names or point fingers. I don't think that's how to solve this problem. I'm on a crusade to educate readers about e-reading and the muliple options for reading e-books. I'm planning to have demos at fairs and festivals during the spring and summer. I'll be doing an e-reading workshop this fall with some other authors. I'm not normally a put-yourself-out-there person, but I'm passionate about this cause.
I'm not the only e-reading crusader. Read an E-Book Week, March 7-13th is an annual event to promote e-reading, started by Rita Y. Toews. You can visit the event's central website for a list of other activites planned. To celebrate Read an E-Book Week I'll be blogging on e-reading and e-readers March 1-15. I'll have guest bloggers joining me to promote the cause. The official twitter hashtag for e-book week is #ebookweek. Tweet about the e-books you're reading and events you're participating in.
If that isn't enough to make you bounce in your chair and shout hallelujah, I've got the coolest prizes to give away. I put mini e-libraries on one gig flash drives and installed an e-reading program right on the drive. All you have to do is plug the drive into the USB port on your PC and you have all you need to start e-reading. I'll include links to resources for e-books on the flash drive and install a mini-browser that runs from the drive, so you can use it to download more books. I'll hold a drawing to give away one flash drive each day during read an e-book week. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on my blog or sign up for my E-Book Evolution newsletter. You get one entry in the contest for each relevant comment at the blog (no spamming the comments for extra entries) and one more entry if you sign up for the newsletter.
I was thrilled when I learned my novel, The Tiger's Tale, will be released March 12th during Read an E-Book Week. I'll include a free copy of my book on every drive I give away and some great reads from some of my favorite authors.
The next e-reading post is about the launch of my E-Book Evolution newsletter, so put this URL in your feed reader and get ready for two weeks of e-book fun.
If you're as passionate about e-reading literacy as I am, please get in touch. I'd love to brainstorm ideas about how we can promote e-reading. If you're doing something to promote e-reading literacy, let me know and I'll promote your efforts here.

2017 isn't business as usual.
Under the guise of 'populism', authoritarian regimes are inciting hatred and xenophobia, posing a direct threat to freedom of expression and human rights in general. Media are being devalued and undermined. Attacks on journalists' safety and reputations are diminishing the public's right to be informed. 'Alternative facts' are served up by social media and by governments, obstructing access to the credible information citizens need to engage meaningfully in their communities. And, at a time when so many free expression rights are tied to internet access, shut-downs are on the rise.
Is this the new normal?
The IFEX network now includes 119 non-governmental organisations committed to the defense of freedom of expression and information, based in 70 countries.
We are profoundly concerned by the diminishing space for a vibrant civil society in places where it is most needed. It is all taking a toll on our members, on our traditional allies, and on the important work we do.
We are meeting these challenges head on at our 2017 Strategy Conference.
On 12 June 2017, in Montreal, Canada, our network kicks off three days of solutions-oriented discussions with people on the free expression front lines, civil society organizations, and representatives from funding agencies, inter-governmental agencies and the media, coming from over 60 countries.
It will be a space to connect, assess our context, discuss threats to rights, tools to resist the increasing attacks on them, and ways to strengthen our resilience to better confront these challenges.
Timothy Garton Ash, author of Free Speech: 10 Principles for a Connected World, will get us started by presenting his framework for free expression rights. Then we'll hear stories and experiences from individuals who have been involved in movements designed to resist injustice in other areas. Along with these allies and stakeholders we will develop strategies for strengthening our resistance work and our resilience, as defenders of the right to freedom of expression and information.
Rights. Resistance. Resilience. IFEX is 25 this year, and we're ready. #IFEX25
IFEX at 25: Voices to be Reckoned With
This year the IFEX network marks 25 years in the defense of freedom of expression and information. As members from around the globe meet in Montreal for the 2017 IFEX Strategy Conference, it is a year rife with regimes inciting hatred and intolerance, with media and even the concept of truth attacked, devalued and undermined. And, at a time when so many rights are tied to internet access, shut-downs are on the rise. Is this the new normal?
2017 isn't business as usual.

Weibo: Tech execs trash CCTV consumer rights show
Where were you this past Saturday night? Most of us probably spent the evening having dinner out, or perhaps visiting friends. But for many of China's tech executives, the date of March 15 has become for nervousness due to CCTV's annual investigative reports broadcast that evening for Consumer Rights Day. The program often targets high-profile brands in its effort to uncover abusive business practices, and many of those names come from the tech sector. But this year's program was a relative disappointment, with some observers cynically noting on their microblogs that CCTV seemed more interested in generating advertising revenue than protecting consumers.
One notable exception to the chorus of cynical comments was Qihoo 360's (NYSE: QIHU) controversial and outspoken CEO Zhou Hongyi, who took delight on his microblog in the fact that archrival Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) was featured in one of the program's reports. All the attention shows just how influential CCTV's Consumer Rights Day program has become, with the ability to send any company into crisis mode if it gets featured for abusing consumers.
Global tech giant Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Chinese online game operator NetEase (Nasdaq: NTES) were both featured on last year's show, resulting in a firestorm of negative publicity for both. The situation got so bad for Apple, which was criticized for bad after-sales service, that the company took the rare move of issuing an apology to Chinese consumers and promising to address the problem.
By comparison, this year's program was a relative non-event. One of the most prominently featured companies was a supplier that provided expired ingredients to several major food chains including Singaporean bakery chain BreadTalk. Most of the biggest consumer and tech names escaped any mention on the show, undoubtedly bringing huge sighs of relief from their top tech executives and public relations officials.
Qihoo 360 analyst Mi Xiaobin summarized a lot of the sentiment with his comment that commercials on this year's program were more numerous than actual investigative reports. Yan Yuelong, the public relations chief at e-commerce giant JD.com, concurred, saying CCTV was looking to capitalize on the huge audience it has built in recent years for the program. He went on to repost a list of many of the advertisers who helped to sponsor this year's show.
The lack of big stories this year, coupled with the growing cynicism, hint at waning influence for not only the show, but also for CCTV as it faces competition from a growing group of Internet-based video channels. CCTV has itself also become the subject of controversy, drawing criticism in 2 more recent cases that tried to expose bad business practices.
One of those saw CCTV criticize Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) for its high prices, only to see many Chinese come to the coffee chain's defense by saying it should be allowed to charge whatever it wants. More recently, a CCTV commentator branded e-commerce giant Alibaba as a "vampire" because its Yu'ebao savings product was drawing money away from traditional banks. But in that instance also, many came to Yu'ebao's defense, saying it was providing much-needed competition for China's stodgy financial sector.
While response to this year's CCTV show was muted and may reflect the start of a broader decline, you would never know that based on the prolific posts from Qihoo 360 CEO Zhou Hongyi, who delighted in the fact that archrival Baidu was featured on this year's show. Qihoo and Baidu have been locked in a fierce and ugly battle for supremacy in China's online search space over the past year, employing numerous underhanded tactics and filing lawsuits against each other in their ongoing war.
The CCTV report that grabbed Zhou's attention focused on abusive software often found in so-called "copycat" smartphones that look like popular models but cost far less. It should come as no surprise that such cheap phones come loaded with software that steals personal data and engages in other abusive practices, since the phone makers rely on fees from such software makers to earn some extra money. Zhou re-posted one photo that shows a long list of Baidu software used by one copycat phone maker, and also berated Baidu's founder Robin Li. Of course he made no mention of the fact that Qihoo itself is often accused of similar practices. But perhaps that's a subject for next year's show.

- White smoke after the engine is warm would be water condensing, i.e probably cylinder head gasket failiure. there are other things butthis would be first on my list, check coolant level.
- If it's white it usually just means the car is cold. Sometimes mine will do it if the water is low.
- White smoke has nothing to do with Oil White smoke is Coolant. You have a blown head gasket and coolant is leaking into your intake manifold. Did your car overheat recently?
- This could be underfueling, an intake air leak, coolant getting into the cylinders (smoke would be greyish in colour at close inspection), many things.
- White smoke = engine coolant mixing with oil. On this model it is more than likely obvious because the coolant expansion tank will become brownish in colour and the coolant will start to thicken. Experiance of this in the past would normally lead me to replace the Oil cooler first (squarish device that sits just above oil filter with two pipes coming out of it) Then fully flush the radiator and cooling system (including the heater matrix). Once this is done carry out a "block test" which basically is a chemical sniffer which detects exhaust gas in your coolant – a useful check on your head gasket to see if any subsequent damage has been done.
Any reputable garage should be able to complete the above work and checks for around £200 or under.

Itty Bitty Baby Girls.. er Boy
I was listening to the baby lullaby type of song titled "Itty Bitty Baby Girl" but I can't help singing it as
Itty Bitty Baby Boy
Daddy's pride and Mummy's Joy
Tiny treasure so petite
But great is the joy that you bring
To your daddy and me
Our love for you
Will only grow stronger each day
For yes, it's true
You've stolen our hearts away
And my little boy
You're just the right size today
To hold in my arms
To look in your eyes and say
Sigh! What a sweet boy!

text: After a loooong day of purging and packing, we are exhausted. But now, we are able to collapse onto the couch and relax and take in our evening view for one of the last times. And I must say, the moon has been putting on an absolutely spectacular show for us the past few nights. What a nice farewell!

Discussion in 'Touring Models' started by dcfatboy, May 24, 2010.
Is there a way to repair a broken fairing boss other than replacing the fairing?
There's a repair kit available from the dealer and some use an epoxy to repair the fastener like JB weld.
Thanks glider!!
I used epoxy on 93 w/ good results still in there..
I was talking to a guy that had his saddlebag repaired after a tip over. A big piece broke out. He had a auto body shop do it. It seems there is/are special products and techniques to repair injection molded plastics. Maybe a google search will turn something up, or stop by a body shop and ask.
I think TQuinten striped out his and just drilled through the fairing. He had some picutres posted showingthe finished change.
I had to drill through the two outters on mine. The moulding on mine had split and I couldn't keep the brass nut in there. I had tried the Harley repair nuts that you thread in but no luck. I used 1/4" stainless buttonhead cap bolts with stainless acorn nuts. Works perfect for me.

Skip to comments.Gary Glenn's agenda for Gov. Rick Snyder
Posted on 06/04/2011 1:10:17 AM PDT by AFA-Michigan
LANSING, Mich. -- Oh my, this could get mucho messy.
The ultra-conservative wing of the state GOP has been patiently marking time since January when the Rick Snyder juggernaut rolled into town.
The new governor told everyone he was all about getting a new budget and business tax in place and would not be diverted by other issues.
Well the budget is in place, as is the business tax, and here comes Gary Glenn of the American Family Association of Michigan. Lets just say Mr. G.G. is not a liberal...not by any stretch.
And hes got an agenda as long as your arm of 15 issues that he wants the governor and GOP legislature to tackle.
Try this on for size:
(1) prohibit state funding of any sex changes for prison inmates.
(2) prohibit use of classroom dollars to promote any form of sexual activity outside of marriage."
(3) Halt any show of nudity during drama productions at state universities.
(4) Cut off support to Planned Parenthood
(5) Make sure homosexual couples cant adopt children.
One could go on to list the other 10, but you generally get the idea here, right? By the way, none of those items were in the Snyder campaign blueprint to reinvent Michigan.
Obviously, theres been a pent up demand to address some of those social wedge issues which the current governor has demonstrated little stomach to stomach.
Mr. Glenn even launched some radio commercials sticking the Right to Work issue right in the governors relentless positive action face. Recall Mr. Snyder thinks Right to Work is divisive and would pit business against labor in what could well be a nasty political bloodbath.
Mr. Glenn and company appear to be saying, bring on the blood.
Wonder what blood-type the governor is?
One thing is clear, any elected official who doesn't support right-to-work is a fascist, and that is precisely what forced unionization is.
Put the whole list up for a vote in Michigan and every one of the items would pass by at least a 60-40% margin.

A security researcher discovered malicious Android APKs containing Coinhive, a cryptocurrency miner that hogs CPU power and can damage user devices.
In this month's Gears release, we have made the onboarding process much faster for Android users, enabled cookie injection for Firefox browsers, and made other fixes and enhancements that will make Security Score information more clear. In light of recent Android breaches, we are also announcing our upcoming APK scanning feature!
I'm often asked if anti-malware engines designed for Windows can detect Linux and Android-based malware. These anti-malware products were developed specifically for different platforms over a period of 20+ years. Most anti-malware software vendors have solutions for both Windows and Linux-based platforms that were first developed in the 1990's or 2000's. Conversely, the first anti-malware product for Android was released around the second half of the 2000's, as the Android platform is relatively new from an anti-malware perspective.
Kaspersky Lab and Interpol's recently released Mobile Cyber Threat Report shows a significant increase in the number of cyber-attacks targeting Android users, highlighting the need for successful anti-malware solutions for the Android OS. Because Android applications are distributed via Android package files (APKs), compressed files that contain all of the files in a given app, special care must be taken when scanning them for malware.
Android applications are available through a number of different stores and sites. At some stores, you can even download the app file to your PC and apply it directly to your Android device. This diversity in stores and download mechanisms is an attractive aspect of Android to consumers, but a less restrictive marketplace eco-system brings risks along with freedom. Are these apps safe for your Android and what is the chance they contain malware that could infect your Android OS?
OPSWAT announced a new release of their OESIS Mobile SDK for Android today and a coinciding launch of OPSWAT Certification for Android security applications. Free OPSWAT Certification is now available for Android antivirus, backup, firewall, location services and mobile device management applications.

They also offer very good live betting and in the popular racing section, there are great unique coupons and plenty of easy building of exotics from global racecards.
Pros & Cons
The operation of the website will show up a lot of other bookies. There is nothing fancy about it, it just all feels so easy and laid back to get around, which is a huge pro for CrownBet's operations. There are so many small touches which have been done well and add up to a great product. The sportsbook could use padding out a bit, and the bet slip is a little slow and basic, but overall a very good service.

The issue is about having a single name, and not inventing a namespace technique for json docs. The choices are: 1. The current scheme of prepending _ to atom names when the atom is used inside a document. Con is the breakage of name identity, which has technical consequences as well as cognitive ones. Does the rule only apply at the top level of a document? What about future injected metadata that has internal structure? 2. Use '_' for all atoms, inside and outside documents. Con is the noise of extra underscores everywhere. 3. Don't use underscores inside documents - for id and rev at least, this wouldn't seem to be a big issue, but isn't future-proof if you want to handle other injected fields. 4. Use '_' for atoms that have to be injected, and make the name BE the '_' form. Con is that you have to decide in advance if an atom is going to ever be injected. 5. Use a '_meta' wrapper for the metadata. I don't see any technical cons, and IMO is by far the cleanest model. Name identity is preserved, it's arbitrarily extensible without scalability concerns, and is structural rather than lexical. IMO option 5 is the best and cleanest solution.

So we've got the two gift guides, budget party tips and now we need some gift wrapping ideas for those presents that we will be giving too. You don't want to reveal what you got for them immediately and the little suspense between the wrapping and the gift is pretty exhilaratingly nice. Sometimes for the oddly-shaped items, I like asking the store if they offer wrapping services otherwise I do it all. I also try my best to find wrapping paper that would suit the person but sometimes you just have to get a bulk one for all because it's not cheap!
- Brown Paper: Classic brown paper that makes everything look so classy and neat. You can decorate it with colourful markers, stickers or keep it simple with all sorts of ribbons.
- Newspaper: Yes, newspaper. Your hands will get stained along the way while wrapping but the end result is pretty cool. You can do the trick of layered wrapping over and over again with newspaper to heighten the anticipation or increase the annoyance. Hah.
- Fabric/Cloth: This is a good one when it comes to bottles or anything fragile to keep the items safe, or weird shaped stuff to just bag it. You can definitely upcycle what you have like scarves, table cloths – do a quick sew and done.
- Interesting Prints: Like road maps, music sheets, chalkboard paper, customised word puzzle etc! These make things a lot more interesting and give the feel that you have spent a lot of time on it.
- Boxes: These will definitely be a lot easier to wrap and such. Try to box whatever that you're gifting. Decorate the box itself with paint splatters, crayons melted on it, dried flowers or with (extra) Christmas decorations such as baubles, trinkets.
How are you wrapping your gifts this holiday?

United States District Court, Ninth Circuit
July 29, 2013
BARRY G. INGRAM, Plaintiff,v.CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEP'T, et al., Defendants.
(Docket No. 39)
CLAUDIA WILKEN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Barry Ingram, proceeding pro se, brought this action under the United States Constitution and the California Civil Code against the City of San Francisco Police Department (City Defendant) and three of its employees, Sgt. Frazer, Officer Fiorello, and Officer Khmarskiy (Individual Defendants). City Defendant moves to dismiss Plaintiff's second amended complaint (2AC). Plaintiff opposes the motion. After considering the parties' submissions, the Court finds the matter suitable for decision without oral argument and now dismisses the complaint with prejudice.
Plaintiff alleges that Individual Defendants impounded his vehicle during a routine traffic stop in October 2010 based on their erroneous belief that Plaintiff was driving with a suspended license. Docket No. 35, 2AC at 3:1-:4. Specifically, he contends that Individual Defendants violated his rights to due process and equal protection by failing to confirm that his license was not suspended before they impounded his vehicle. Id. at 3:4-:17. Plaintiff further alleges that their actions harmed his "personal business relations" in violation of section 43 of the California Civil Code. Id. at 3:19-:22. Although Plaintiff admits that City Defendant has already compensated him for "property damage" to his vehicle, he seeks "personal injury damages" of roughly forty-seven million dollars for "mental anguish and emotional distress" resulting from the impounding of his vehicle. Id. at 4:19-:26.
A complaint must contain a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a). On a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim, dismissal is appropriate only when the complaint does not give the defendant fair notice of a legally cognizable claim and the grounds on which it rests. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly , 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007). In considering whether the complaint is sufficient to state a claim, the court will take all material allegations as true and construe them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. NL Indus., Inc. v. Kaplan , 792 F.2d 896, 898 (9th Cir. 1986). However, this principle is inapplicable to legal conclusions; "threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, " are not taken as true. Ashcroft v. Iqbal , 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (citing Twombly , 550 U.S. at 555).
When granting a motion to dismiss, the court is generally required to grant the plaintiff leave to amend, even if no request to amend the pleading was made, unless amendment would be futile. Cook, Perkiss & Liehe, Inc. v. N. Cal. Collection Serv. Inc. , 911 F.2d 242, 246-47 (9th Cir. 1990). In determining whether amendment would be futile, the court examines whether the complaint could be amended to cure the defect requiring dismissal "without contradicting any of the allegations of [the] original complaint." Reddy v. Litton Indus., Inc. , 912 F.2d 291, 296 (9th Cir. 1990). The court may deny leave to amend for "repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed." McGlinchy v. Shell Chem. Co. , 845 F.2d 802, 809-10 (9th Cir. 1988).
A. Federal Claims
Plaintiff has not alleged sufficient facts here to state a due process or equal protection claim against any Defendant. The only due process injury Plaintiff identifies in his 2AC is the loss of his vehicle, for which, he admits, he has already received compensation. Plaintiff has not alleged a deprivation of any other liberty or property interest that might serve as a basis for his due process claim in this suit.[1] Accordingly, he has failed to state a valid due process claim here.
Plaintiff has similarly failed to identify a factual basis for his equal protection claim. He has not alleged that Defendants' actions were motivated by discriminatory animus nor does his complaint explain how he was treated differently from any similarly situated individual. Indeed, the 2AC contains no specific facts that, if proven, would demonstrate intentional discrimination of any kind, as Plaintiff apparently concedes in his opposition. Docket No. 41, Opp. 2 ("Plaintiff makes no allegation of discrimination."). Thus, Plaintiff has not stated a valid equal protection claim.
Finally, because Plaintiff's complaint fails to allege any constitutional violation, his claim for municipal liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 must be dismissed. The Ninth Circuit has recognized that "general principles of § 1983 liability" dictate that "an individual may recover [under the statute] only when that individual's federal rights have been violated." Quintanilla v. City of Downey , 84 F.3d 353, 356 (9th Cir. 1996).
B. State Claims
In addition to his federal claims, Plaintiff asserts a claim under section 43 of the Civil Code. Section 43 provides that "every person has, subject to the qualifications and restrictions provided by law, the right of protection from bodily restraint or harm, from personal insult, from defamation, and from injury to his personal relations." Cal. Civ. Code § 43. Here, Plaintiff does not allege that he suffered any bodily restraint or harm, personal insult, or defamation; rather, he contends that Defendants harmed his "personal business relations" because he had been planning ...
