Hi Linh
Ironically for many Americans, the past is simply used as a mythical fantasy . A magical place in which their were bountiful jobs , everyone was treated right ect. Of course this isn't reality , but I think its apart of the human condition to believe a different place , or time was so much better then here and now .
I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time . If you wrote Love Like Hate in Vietnamese for a Vietnamese audience, and you knew it would be published in Vietnam without a bit of censorship , would it of been a different book ?
Hi Ksou,
Had I written Love Like Hate in Vietnamese, it would be more or less the same book, even with those expository, travelogue like passages seemingly aimed at outsiders. Of course, the Vietnamese language will impose its own quirks, jokes and puns, and I won't resist them.
I did translate the first three chapters into Vietnamese and published them at Tien Ve, the best Vietnamese-language webzine around. I had wanted to do the whole book, but other projects interfered, and I just lost interest.
Thank you so much for your answer.
I'm looking forward to your future projects , and I respect that you have a very realistic approach to writing . It's a bit happier to read " Economy rebounds, everything is getting better, now finance a new 55" 3D TV" . But that's not reality , reality is cities criminalizing the homeless- If you can't see them , if you ban them from public areas, they no longer exist ! .
So many good quotes here, Linh.
Although our writing aesthetics might differ, you are one of my artistic heroes. And I mean that. I don't know anyone as true to their art as you....
Thank you for being.
Yo Ocean,
Hey, many thanks! I'm glad you actually watched this rambling interview. I can't help it, I always ramble.
As for different aesthetics, that's the whole point, isn't it? We should always differ when it comes to what we want to do with our art.

A skills necklace is a dragonstone necklace that has been enchanted with the spell Enchant Level 5 Jewellery. It can carry up to four charges, each of which can be used to teleport to the entrances of one of four locations:
- The Fishing Guild north of Ardougne and southwest of Seers' Village
- The Mining Guild in Falador
- The Crafting Guild southwest of Falador and north of Rimmington
- The Cooking Guild west of Varrock and south of Grand Exchange
Like the other enchanted pieces of dragonstone jewellery, the teleports of a skills necklace can be used in up to level 40 Wilderness, instead of level 26, the normal limit for teleportation. However, the skills necklace, being a piece of jewellery that focuses on noncombat skills, gives no combat bonuses.
As long as it has at least one charge, a worn skills necklace will slightly increase the chance of finding a casket while fishing with a big net. Depleted skills necklaces may be recharged at the gilded totem on the ground floor of the Legends' Guild. Note that the skills necklace cannot be recharged by a geyser titan.
Some players may find that skills necklaces are a useful and economical option for teleporting across RuneScape. For example, using a skills necklace to reach the Cooking Guild is one of the quickest ways to reach the Grand Exchange (apart from casting Varrock Teleport with its destination set as the Grand Exchange, or activating a ring of wealth). Players who have completed Legends' Quest can recharge the necklaces at will, and the Legends' Guild is easily reached with the spell Ardougne Teleport, or via the fairy ring network.
An update on 7 October 2009 improved the right-click options of a worn skills necklace. Previously, the options had been Unequip, Operate, and Examine, and a message came up in the chat box asking to which location to teleport. After the update, right-clicking an equipped necklace will result in the options shown below, where each of the teleport locations is a separate option. Teleporting with a skills necklace is quicker as a result, and it could potentially be used as an emergency teleport item, since combat will not interrupt the teleportation process in any way.

If we think about poverty we typically think:
- no money
- no clean water
- no food/starvation
- no shelter/no home
- displaced/refugee
- unwanted/unloved/uncared for/orphaned
- without hope of a future
This is abject poverty. It is situational poverty.
There is a poverty worse than all these…
It is the self-reliant and self-content person, who thinks he has no-need of God. This is a spiritual poverty and it leads to an eternity spent, permanently separated from God, in hell.
No-one needs to live with this kind of poverty because the greatest of all riches comes to us when we realize our need of Jesus.
Jesus gives Himself to us freely and completely. All we do is accept His free gift.
Jesus makes us right with God and wealthy beyond measure.
And yet, so many people live without Him, thinking I can do this on my own. And still others haven't even heard the good news about Jesus yet…They live poorer than the poorest people on the planet.
Some of the poorest are living on your street and on my street. We have the awesome job of telling them the good news…

The Dean's List - All My Troubles
Artist: The Dean's List
Producer: DJ Mendoza
Album: Red Bull Exclusive (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
I needed this: a heart-pumping song with a hook about "shooting all my troubles down." Yesterday, Boston-based trio The Dean's List released the thumpin' club track All My Troubles via RedBullUSA. This is one of those songs that you can play at a party, when you getting ready for the club, when you're in the car on the way to the club and once again when you step foot inside of the club. The group's resident apper Sonny Shotz delivers on the verses, while producer DJ Mendoza definitely does the same behind the boards. Don't over think things—the blend of electro sounds and distortions, Auto-Tuned hook, hard-hitting kicks and Shotz's easy flow blend well together. The trio will be releasing a new mixtape, entitled Generation X, soon. I might actually have to keep an ear open for these dudes. Let's see how this one plays out.

I'm a fan of 'The Dean's List' last two mixtapes, They always have a few club like songs on them, this is probably a more heavier type of club anthem byt hem to date, not as catchy as 'La Vie' (I think?) but still entertaining.

Ten Ideas in 2011 for the Wisconsin Sports Fan
By Jon in Sports in General on December 14, 2010 9:20 pm / 1 comment
I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions, but I am big on trying new things each year. Here are a few ideas for Wisconsin sports fans in 2011:
1 – Get tickets to a minor league baseball game. Check out the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Beloit Brewers, Madison Mallards, or the LaCrosse Loggers. The tickets are cheap…spend some money at the game.
2 – Play a round of golf at a really nice Wisconsin golf course. Two personal favorites…Hawk's View in Lake Geneva and University Ridge in Verona. Oh, and don't worry about your score.
3 – Wisconsin Badger Hockey Tickets. Easier to get than Badger basketball tickets with a very different (and fun) clientele.
4 – Lake Michigan Charter Fishing Excursion: A tad pricey, but the coho, kings, browns, lake trout and steelhead are big and fun to catch. Most charters will supply all the equipment.
5 – Plan on a weekend at the WIAA Boys State Basketball Tournament: Go on Thursday and Friday in late March to see the excitement shared by teams and communities from every corner of Wisconsin.
6 – American Birkebeiner: The famous Cable to Hayward cross country ski event has turned into a wide variety of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Check out the activities at http://www.birkie.com/.
7 – The Crazylegs Run – Scheduled for Saturday, April 30, in Madison, the 8K run and 2-mile walk are great fun with a few thousand other Badger fans on the UW campus.
8 – Scion Dental Summer Basketball League – Held for the first time this past year at Mequon Homestead High School, the league provides an opportunity for high level players(college and pro) in the Milwaukee area a place to compete in the summer time. The cost is free…great summer hoops entertainment.
9 – Splurge on expensive Milwaukee Brewers tickets. It is a totally different experience when you can here the umpire and the sound of the pitch hitting the catcher mitt.
10 – September 17, 2011, the Wisconsin Badger football team will play at Soldier Field in Chicago against Northern Illinois and new coach Dan Doeren (Wisconsin's former defensive coordinator). Spend the night in the Windy City.

It's no secret that BioWare is working on a new Dragon Age game, but the developer has just made its first official announcement about the title, providing a few vague details about its features. Mark Darrah, executive producer of the Dragon Age franchise, revealed today that...
As you've undoubtedly heard, the third installment of BioWare's Mass Effect trilogy hit shelves last Tuesday. Being one of the year's most anticipated launches, it's no surprise to see it with an aggregate review score of over 90.
We've benchmarked Mass Effect 3 across three different resolutions with two dozen GPU configurations -- including AMD's new Radeon HD 7000 series. We'll also see how the performance scales when overclocking an eight-core FX-8150, along with benching a handful of other Intel and AMD processors.
Here are the real questions everyone has: did my favorite feature from Mass Effect come back? Does my favorite skill from Mass Effect 2 carry over? And what about the romantic relationship I chose, or my favorite companion, or that great gun? Is it my Normandy, my Citadel, my galaxy? Do my choices matter?
Is this, in short, truly the Mass Effect title for which we have all been waiting for so very many interminable months? Yes. Yes it is.
A report from the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) suggests the industry is alive and kicking with record software sales of $18.6 billion in 2011, a 15% increase over 2010. That's partly attributed to China, which is growing nearly twice as fast as the global market...
Yet another triple-A title has received wildly conflicting reviews: professional critics seem overly generous with perfect scores, while players use unfairly low ratings to spite the creators over certain decisions. The PC version of Mass Effect 3 simultaneously dons grades of 93/100 and 25/100...

Camp Agapé , located at 1369 Tyler Dewar Lane, Fuquay-Varina, provides local residents with 624 acres of rolling hills, streams, and diverse forests. The camp also provides its customers with a volleyball and basketball court, fishing, summer camp programs for children, recreation fields, 12-miles of hiking, a swimming pool, a picnic pavilion, an environmental educational learning center, a campground, nature activities and group-building and challenge course activities.
The camp, which has been open to the public since 1974, provides people with a unique secluded setting that allows for spiritual renewal, meditation, group-building, and planning.
As a camp and conference center, Camp Agapé is open to all people for retreats, team building, and day meetings. Camp Agapé also runs resident summer camp programs from June to the first of August each year.
However the fun does not stop there. The Agapé Center for Environmental Education offers field trips and overnight events to public, private and home schools in addition to Saturday Safaris. The Safaris are day events for groups, birthday parties, youth groups, environmental groups and more.
In June through August, Camp Agapé officials run resident summer camp programs.
Every May, Camp Agapé officials holds an Open House.
"Open House is a time for folks to come out and tour our facilities and to sample summer camp activities like canoeing, zip-lining and archery to name a few," Camp Agapé official Penny Wiard said.
During Mother's Day weekend, Camp Agapé officials host a Mother Daughter Retreat.
"This past year our guests spent quality time together making cupcakes, riding the zip-line, canoeing, and making a special craft," Wiard said about the Mother's Day weekend.
In November, the camp offers a Hike-a-thon and Basket Raffle.
"Hikers spend the morning walking the trails of Agapé to raise money for ACE Education. A breakfast of bagels, donuts, coffee and juice as well as a delicious lunch is provided free of charge. Registration and $25 raised in donations required."
The fun does not stop there.
In December, the camp offers O' Holy Night.
"O' Holy Night is an evening of light food and fellowship followed by a special walk and worship under the stars at our Lakeside Chapel. It is a 'Holy Night' filled with Christmas carols, Christmas lights, and the Christmas story."
For those looking for a beautiful location for a wedding, Camp Agapé provides the perfect location.
"Camp Agapé is the perfect setting for a wedding because of the beautiful outdoor Lakeside Chapel as well as for the rustic indoor Castor Chapel. The Johnson dining room offers ample space for a reception and the zip-line offers a fun send-off for any newly-wed couple."
Anyone interested in attending any of Camp Agapé events or reserving any of the camp facilities should go to their website at www.agapekurebeach.org, email us at email@example.com or call the main office at 919.552.9421.

So, we thought long and hard, drank a couple more beers, thought harder, put pencil to paper, pulled out our calculators, read the economist, mulled the WSJ, took a poll and then said. "Yep that's way off-centered"
We decided that it's time for a Dogfish 12 pack. The market is ready for some serious value.
In trying times were trying hard to continue to bring the world the best beer for the best dollar spent!
We're shipping the first round of 12 packs to the following distributors in the following states. The next time we brew 120 minute we will make another round of 12 packs:
Hop & Wine (VA), CR Goodman (CO), BEK Specialty (TX), United (DE), FP Winner (MD), Hunterdon (NJ), Beer House (KY), Glunz (IL), Franklin (CT), Drinx Unlimited (CT), Oak (NY).
We don't have any fancy packaging, nor any fancy whistles and bells. Just a simple box, duct taped together with an incredible mixture of IPA's and values.
There's one last twist when you open the box we've dropped in something to while away the time while the economy makes a u-turn.
Not all the 12 packs will be hitting the market at the same time due to legal approval, drop us a line for updates and time lines to market. NJ and MD have shipped last week!!!!!!!!
did hop & wine acquire all distribution for VA?
did hop & wine acquire all distribution for VA?
What I know so far on our Value 12 Packs:
CT ships this week and the week of the 30th.
Maryland ships next week.
DE ships next week.
Just got approval for IL this week.
Stay tuned as we get further with the legal smegal stuff!
The obvious question for Delaware people is "When can we get it in the 'home state'?"
I am very sure that just about any new thing Adam gins up (pun intended) will be cool, unless he goes down the "can" path, but I don't think we have to worry much about that happening!
Great idea! I'm interested to know when you will be shipping to Illinois.

An FDA investigation into the safety of caffeine-added foods has prompted Wrigley to take its new caffeinated gum off the market for the time being.
Amid growing public concern over the safety of additives in food and beverages the FDA is facing pressure to reexamine its rules -- and there are signs it may do so.

The FDA says it has uncovered possible safety problems at 30 specialty pharmacies that were inspected after of a recent outbreak of meningitis caused by contaminated drugs.
The sequester will be tough on government employees, and on those whose jobs are directly supported by them. But even if you don't run a Jiffy Lube across the street from a military base, you still need to be prepared. Here's are eight unexpected ways the sequester will likely touch your life.
Super Power, an "all-natural herbal extract" promises enhanced libido and more to the men who take it. But the supplement's manufacturer, Freedom Trading, made sure its pills could deliver male performance by adding a secret ingredient that crossed the line.
When it comes to eating healthily, fish has a great reputation. But recent studies show that mislabeling, food poisoning, overuse of antibiotics and a host of other factors may be transforming fish into the most dangerous thing on the menu.
Tobacco companies have introduced almost no new cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products in the U.S. in more than 18 months because the FDA has prevented them from doing so -- an unprecedented pause for an industry that historically has introduced dozens of new products annually.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, food-borne illnesses sicken more than 15% of Americans every year, causing approximately 3,000 deaths and 128,000 hospitalizations -- and the numbers are getting worse. But how are these tainted foods getting past our food inspectors? You won't like the answer.
A U.S. appeals court on Friday struck down a law that requires tobacco companies to use graphic health warnings, such as of a man exhaling smoke through a hole in his throat. The ruling sets up the possibility the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on the dispute.
Experts say high-fructose corn syrup contributes to the obesity epidemic, and the FDA just blocked its makers from calling it "corn sugar." But there's an even smarter way the government could foil this fat-maker.

I really appreciate the Maven2 support in the latest/greatest, i.e spring-ws.1.0m2 deployment. I am new to Spring-WS so the first thing I wanted to do was to generate an IntelliJ project for the samples.
However, both the echo and the airline samples refer to a parent pom.xml of which I cannot find anywhere. I guess it should be located in the root of the samples directory in the distribution. I can get around the problem by removing the reference to the parent, but then I loose the dependency management, so the echo artifact itself as well as the core artifact both need groupId and version. Easymock, JUnit and XmlUnit are missing and must be added manually to the pom files.
It would be nice if the parent pom was added with the samples!

Assistant Fred Castro will join them from Tulsa. 04/19/2013 UW Promotes Mike Neighbors To Lead Women's BasketballA whirlwind, four-day search to replace Kevin McGuff ends where it began - with the top assistant on McGuff's Staff.

Already a noted recruiter, Morrison will have an expanded role in 2013-14. He will assume more duties with on-court coaching and skill development, while continuing to work on advance scouting and recruiting. In 2012-13, Morrison played a crucial role in helping the Huskies reach a second-straight WNIT, while winning 20 games in back-to-back years for the first time in almost two decades. Morrison was also instrumental in the development of the post players, including Talia Walton who was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team and Aminah Williams who finished second all-time at UW for single-season rebounding. In addition to his role with the current team, Morrison was instrumental in bringing a top-10 recruiting class to Washington, including McDonald's All-American Kelsey Plum. In his first season at UW, Morrison was a part of the staff that led Washington to 20-14 record and a trip to the quarterfinals of the WNIT. Responsible for the development of the post players, Morrison helped center Regina Rogers earn First Team All Pac-12 honors while leading the team in scoring (16.8 points) and rebounding (8.6). Before coming to Seattle, Morrison had plenty of experience in California. For four years, the La Verne, Calif., native served as an assistant coach at California under coach Joanne Boyle, where he assisted with recruiting and contributed in the Golden Bears ability to continually bring in highly ranked classes. While at California, Morrison was a part of a successful Golden Bears program that reached the postseason in each of his four seasons at Berkeley, including the Sweet Sixteen, along with a WNIT Championship. During the 2007-08, and then later in 2008-09, the Golden Bears set a school record for wins with 27. Some of the players Morrison brought to California include McDonalds All-American's: DeNesha Stallworth, Eliza Pierre, Gennifer Brandon, Lindsay Sherbert, and Afure Jemerigbe.

MacKinnon's Consent of the Networked: A call for political innovation by Milton Mueller
Posted in: Governance at 29/04/2012 19:09
The best summary of Rebecca MacKinnon's book Consent of the Networked is its subtitle: "The worldwide struggle for Internet freedom." This is a comprehensive, spirited, and rich journalistic account of the way the use of the Internet and its supply industries intersect with classic civil and political rights.
Importantly, it is informed by a realization that this encounter is generating a transnational movement for human rights in the new spaces forged by the Internet protocols. MacKinnon says that we need to figure out how to make the Lockean, proto-democratic idea of "the consent of the governed" apply to cyberspace. In a stirring sentence near the end of the book, she claims that "Netizens, companies and governments all face an urgent moral imperative to innovate politically - in the broadest sense of the word - on a scale that matches the dramatic technical innovations of the past several decades." But it is a plea, not a recipe.

The power wheelchair A200 can be optimally adapted to the requirements of your patient. The A200 is part of the new power wheelchair family from Otto Bock and uses the adjustable seating system of the B500, B600, and C1000 for individual adaptation.
The seat can be adjusted at three different angles from zero to six degrees. Thanks to the multiple fitting options such as puncture-proof tires, installation kit for headrests, contour seat, or mechanical leg rests, the A200 can be equipped according to the individual wishes and requirements of the user.
The very maneuverable A200 which is only 57 centimeters in width fits through narrow doors and can also be easily used in small rooms. In addition, the most compact power wheelchair in its class distinguishes itself by ease of operation. Your patient can easily become familiar with the functionality --- and operate the A200 in an apartment or home without problems. Obstacles up to a height of four centimeters can be safely crossed with the wheelchair. And with the optional curb climber the user can overcome approx. 8 cm.
The high-quality A200 can be disassembled in a few easy steps and stowed in the trunk of a compact car. The entire electronic system is integrated in a single box which makes disassembly simpler and increases ease of service.
The A200 has a maximum speed of six km/h and a range of approximately 20 kilometers. The allowable load is 100 kilograms.

AccountNow Prepaid Cards
AccountNow prepaid cards work like a debit card or ATM card. Cardholders can easily add money to the card in several ways, and then use the card virtually everywhere. The card features online bill pay, enabling you to quickly and easily pay bills over the Internet.
How the AccountNow Prepaid Cards Work
Money can be added to an AccountNow prepaid card in several ways. The easiest, most convenient, and least expensive way to add funds is through direct deposit. Your employer can have your paycheck transferred directly to your AccountNow card. You get access to your funds on payday, avoid the inconvenience and cost of check cashing stores, and don't have to worry about carrying around a lot of cash. And because prepaid cards can be used at ATMs, you can get access to the cash immediately.
You can also add money to an AccountNow card at many local stores, including Walmart, CVS, Kroger, UPS, and more. These stores use cash networks such as Money Gram and Green Dot, which enable them to transfer cash to prepaid cards.
You can use the AccountNow prepaid card to buy products online, get gas, pay for rental cars, hotel stays or airline tickets, or buy stuff everywhere Debit Visa or MasterCard is accepted. Prepaid cards are more convenient than carrying cash and safer too with Visa's Zero Liability or the MasterCard Zero Liability (check the AccountNow website for details) coverage that protects you from unauthorized purchases.
Like an ATM card, you can withdraw funds from your card at more than 1 million ATM locations. And like a bank debit card, you can avoid ATM fees by getting cash back at your local grocery store.
AccountNow Prepaid Card Features
- Instant Guaranteed Approval* – no credit check, no security deposit
- $0 ACTIVATION FEE – when you load your card by direct deposit
- Free Direct Deposit – no more check cashing fees
- Free Online Bill Pay – no need for expensive money orders
- No Overdraft Fees – no minimum balance required
- Reloadable – $10,000 balance limit
- Now with Purchase Rewards
How to Apply for an AccountNow Prepaid Card
To apply for an AccountNow Prepaid Visa or MasterCard, simply visit the AccountNow website and complete a simple online application. Because these are prepaid cards, there is no credit check or Chexsystems review. Approval is guaranteed. And unlike secured credit cards, no deposit is required.
With direct deposit, there are no upfront fees, and no monthly fee. At that price, AccountNow cards cost less than most banks, particularly when bank penalty and "convenience" fees are considered. To get more information about the cards and to apply online, visit www.AccountNow.com.

9.95 is a bunch of bull! I put my money in the bank and got a debit card right then. CHASE bank, for free. it does the same thing yours does for free!!!
- November 15, 2010 at 6:34 am
What exactly is the point of getting a prepaid card? Most banks offer a standard checking account option with no minimum balance, no fees for atmwithdrawals and no fees for using the card, either monthly or for individual purposes. Plus, they don't usually check credit. I know because I have pretty poor credit right now and I just opened a Suntrust account. So why bother with this scam?
- January 15, 2011 at 2:09 pm
The point of these prepaids is for people that can't get a checking account. People who had too many bounced checks or couldn't fund their account after it went so far negative with the overdraft fees at the bank. These folks are now basically blacklisted and can not open up any checking account.
This is an option for those folks.
- June 5, 2011 at 10:50 pm
OK, I just found a card I ordered last week, AccountNow "Gold Card. I activated it over the telephone, and then loaded funds onto it. Well, after trying to use it at an ATM, it says I exceeded the amount I can take out, or whatever…. blah blah. WHAT? I JUST put money on it, and just happened to NEED the money. And NOW I cannot get my own money? This is absolute CRAP.
How is it possible that not even using it, I exceeded the limit?? AND on top of that, I STILL got charged at the ATM. I want my money, so I can burn the card and send it back to AccountNow. I should have learned the first time I got screwed out of money. And please do not tell me to call them, I TIRED that, and it got me nowhere.
- June 5, 2011 at 10:54 pm
"Card number pending", is what it says when I log into Accountnows site. Wtf? OK, so I called and thought maybe I made an error, but I didn't. They tell me over the telephone, on that annoying automated service, that it is activated.. why would it say it is STILL pending, anyone know?? And could this be why I cannot remove my own money from an ATM?
- June 7, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Received card 2 weeks ago, loaded with Money Pak, as always. STILL says pending, and have not been able to reach anyone, because I work late. I expected to be able to use the card, as usual, but something got all bollocked up. Luckily I was able to transfer the money to someone elses card. But this card, as far as I see it, is useless. Needed the funds at a particular time, could not get the funds in time, and lost time that was to be spent making money, trying to sort it. So it ended up costing me money.
- June 14, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Account now SUCKS!!!! I applied for and recieved a pre-paid account now visa card in the mail. I have been trying to activate the card for almost a week now. All I get is automated tellers with a bunch of BS. I would like to talk to a live person, when I do get one on the phone, they transfer me back to the automated teller. I would just give up and find a differant card, but I started a new job and gave my employer the information for direct deposit with this new card that I can not activate. Now Its going to be even more crap to get my pay from my employer. Dont go with account now unless you liked to be screwed around!
- July 25, 2011 at 12:19 pm

- August 4, 2011 at 3:28 am

Action of the Month - Represent the Remnant
Freedom-minded individuals have been called many things over the years. One of the nicer names is "remnant". Although this word often has religious connections, I think it can, at times, be an apt title. A political remnant, that which is still there after the left and right have finished "choosing up". The remains of the political process when the socialists and fascists have finished chewing on each other's legs. This word, remnant, also implies that there aren't very many. Whether you're at a literary release cocktail party in Manhattan, a futures trader's bar in Chicago, a steelworkers saloon in Dallas, an after-Oscar party in LA, or the local Cheers or McGinley's Bar and Grill, odds are, there won't be many (if any) there that aren't interested in living at the expense of someone else. When there are one of those few occasions where more than one or two liberty-minded people might show up, it makes sense to show up yourself and introduce them to the Free State Project (for those very few who don't yet know about Liberty in Our Lifetime). There are local Libertarian Party gatherings, Ron Paul Meetups, Taxpayer rights groups, eminent domain protests, and other assemblies of zero-aggression types. Word-of-mouth has always been the number one way that people have found out about the Free State Project. Face-time is the best path to true communication. Much better than an anonymous flier, an invective blasted from a megaphone or a nasty letter to the editor. A calm, rational explanation of the Free State Project makes it almost impossible not to fall in love with the idea of free living in a free New Hampshire.
The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people's rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else. freestateproject.org

State Police Step Up Parking Enforcement on I-83
Police release: Commercial truck parking is a "tragedy waiting to happen."
Maryland State Police are stepping up enforcement against truck parking on Interstate 83.
In a release Thursday, state police said they will begin strict enforcement of parking laws along I-83 between the Baltimore Beltway and the Pennsylvania state line starting Friday.
"Commercial vehicles parking on the shoulder of the highway cause extremely dangerous conditions," Kimberly Smith, commander of the Maryland State Police Golden Ring Barrack, said in the release.
Except in cases of emergency, police will issue drivers citations that carry a $60 fine and no points.
Federal data show that tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles can contribute to crashes if they're parked on the shoulder, state police said. State officials said those drivers should access welcome centers, rest areas and weigh stations, or make other arrangements for safe parking off the highway.

If the State Police are really going to start patrolling I-83, instead of just giving out parking tickets, it would be nice if they started nailing some of the 90 mph speeders weaving through traffic just north of the Beltway!! This might require plain clothes cars.

There is an ancient Ayurvedic practice of "oil pulling" that has been used as a remedy for oral health problems. It involves the use of pure oils such as cold pressed sesame oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil. Approximately one tablespoon is taken in the mouth and "swished around" (pushed and pulled through the teeth) for 10-15 minutes and then carefully spit out followed by a thorough rinsing to ensure that all bacteria and toxins are discharged to avoid being reabsorbed. Claimed benefits include strengthening of teeth and gums, prevention of cavities and gingivitis, prevention of bad breath, potential remedy for bleeding gums and other possible benefits beyond the mouth. The biggest challenge with the practice of oil pulling is that most people find it extremely difficult to keep moving the oil in their mouth for the recommended 10 to 15 minutes it takes for the treatment to be effective.
We believe we have an excellent alternative to "oil pulling"; simply use Perfect Smile's alcohol-free Mouthwash in addition to your normal brushing and flossing routine. Our Mouthwash contains three tremendously beneficial ingredients to promote oral health; MicroActive CoQ10, Xylitol and Vitamin C.
As we all know, in the days going back to Christopher Columbus, sailors were routinely afflicted with scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C that caused gums to bleed and teeth to fall out. Perfect Smile Mouthwash contains Vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a highly bioavailable, more stable and longer-lasting form of Vitamin C.
Xylitol is another key ingredient in Perfect Smile Mouthwash. Xylitol has been proven in numerous clinical studies to reduce dental plaque with its anti-microbial properties that kills bacteria, especially the most harmful Streptoccus mutans.
Most importantly, Perfect Smile Mouthwash contains MicroActive® CoQ10, proven to build strong, healthy cells that help to prevent and reverse the symptoms of gum disease. CoQ10 has demonstrated in numerous clinical studies to effectively treat gum disease. And, the MicroActive form of CoQ10 used in Perfect Smile products is a water soluble complex that delivers maximum benefit to gum tissue because of its superior bioavailability. In addition, our Mouthwash contains zinc lactate which kills the volatile sulfur compounds that typically cause bad breath.
Here at Perfect Smile, we are always "pulling" for our customers to achieve perfect oral health. So as an integral part of a complete oral care program, we recommend "swishing" Perfect Smile Mouthwash for 1-3 minutes following brushing and/or flossing. This will allow the Xylitol to kill bad bacteria while the gums are absorbing the Vitamin C and MicroActive CoQ10.
To help you get started on this recommended procedure, we have reduced the price of our CoQ10 Mouthwash by $1.50 per bottle at all quantity levels now through March 31st.

Points Whores
I get it. You want points for being social, so you're posting comments on every single blog on here (even ones from 2 years ago) & writing as many of your own blogs as you can. Fair enough.
Just one simple request.... can't y'all at least put a little effort into making your comments & blogs semi-interesting? Or even somewhat relevant? I mean... for fuck's sake... I just had THIRTY TWO emails notifying me of separate comments on blog posts to this site. And the bulk of those comments were either one word (often not even related to the blog itself) or a series of punctuation marks.
C'mon.... put a little more effort into it, people.
Yeah I noticed last year leading up to the line up and then around Oct it was happening a lot to me. Then from around thanksgiving and until the early birds it dies down but I figured I would spend more time on the site especially now with the new design. Though I'm not very interesting, I try not to spam. :)

Members of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) have pledged to reduce the price of vaccines in developing countries.
Serum Institute of India and Panacea Biotec have both agreed to drop the price of their pentavalent vaccine (pictured), whilst GSK and Merck also promised similar deals.
Andrew Witty, GAVI Chief Executive, called on pharma companies to be "in step with society" and base goals and business models around issues that address global health needs.
The offers are in response to a tender by the United Nations Children's Fund, which uses the majority of the vaccines funded by GAVI.
The GSK deal will see its vaccine against diarrhoeal disease in the poorest countries sold for £1.50 a dose, a twentieth of its £30 price in western and developed countries. Merck will also offer its rotavirus vaccine at discounted prices.
"I hope this will enable millions of children to receive this vaccine," Andrew Witty wrote in the Times.
"Importantly, this offer is sustainable, because we are recouping the cost of goods and manufacture."
GAVI donors are set to meet in London later this month, where Prime Minister David Cameron will promote a way to raise a further £2.25 billion in global aid.

Yoshida in China: Time for Japan to exit TV market
Junko Yoshida
TOKYO -- Japanese TV manufacturers reported plummeting sales in China during the most recent holiday shopping week -- China's Moon Festival and National Day holidays that extended through Oct. 7. The combined market share for Japan's eight consumer electronics vendors in China plunged to 18 percent from 30 percent a year ago.
The downfall illustrates the impact of a territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea. Violent protests broke out across China along with calls for boycotts of Japanese products in mid-September after Japan nationalized two of the islands, known as the Diaoyu in Chinese and the Senkaku in Japanese. The gambit by Tokyo followed the purchase of the islands from private owners.

Japanese CE companies had already seen their China TV sales decline by more than 40 percent from a year ago as leading Chinese TV companies increased their shares by promoting a variety of "patriotic campaigns."
At the same time, Korean vendors like Samsung and LG saw their China sales grow by more than 10 percent during the same period, according to All View Consulting, a market researcher based in Beijing.
Among Japanese brands in China, the biggest loser was Sharp, whose TV shipments fell by more than 60 percent. Sony also saw its TV sales volume dive by more than 40 percent.
Japan's auto industry was the first to report a huge drop in China sales during the September unrest. Toyota's China sales were nearly halved, while Honda reported a 40.5 percent slide in its China sales. In a report on the pounding Japanese car makers are taking in China, Reuters quote industry analyst Koji Endo as saying, "Inventories are growing, factories are operating less and retail is not going well at all."
While I recognize the tough spot Japan's automotive industry is in, I find the declining market share by Japanese TV manufacturers in China far more troubling. That's because the sensitive political relationship between Japan and China alone can't be entirely faulted for the huge drop in TV sales by Japanese brands in China.
The key reason is that Chinese TV makers have caught up with their Japanese rivals in terms of flat-panel TV quality and features.
Let's face it. Japanese brands aren't adding much value to their TV anymore. At a time when most Japanese companies are reportedly losing money on every TV they sell, Japan should feel no obligations to stick around the traditional TV market.
It's not China that's driving Japan out of the TV business. Japanese CE vendors should simply move on.
Related stories:
Not very surprising? This same phenomenon happened decades ago in the US. Why wouldn't it be Japan's turn now?
TVs are a mature product segment. And TV makers have been really slow even to upgrade them in a credbile way for Internet access. So even such a seemingly simple way to add value to TVs has been squandered, for whatever reasons. You'd expect the lowest cost manufacturing countries to be the only ones that can continue to produce TVs competitively, under these conditions.
There are so many areas China and Japan can co-operate. It happened before and is happening between China and South Korea. It is really sad for both Japanese and Chinese that things are not moving in the right direction. China suffers although Japan may suffer more due to the down trend she is already in. It is lose-lose between China and Japan. It is surprising why those politicians wanted to do it.
It's actually not a surprise if you look at history.
One of the underlying issues for Japan for a *long* time has been an inferiority complex vis its much larger neighbor. Consider the Tale of Genji, considered the first novel and the first major work of Japanese literature. It was written by the Lady Murasaki, a lady in waiting at the imperial court, in the Heian period of Japan around the 1100's. At the time, educated Japanese man all spoke, read, and wrote Chinese. It was left to thwe women to preserve and develop the Japanese language.
(And you see the effect on Japanese, as the written form has origins in Chinese ideographs, whan a positional alphabet like the Roman wuld be a better fit for the underlying structure of the language.)
And China has not forgotten the Rape of Nanking when the Japanese invaded during WWII.
There are long memories and lots of pent-up animosities in the region that will get in the way of the cooperation they really should have, and China and Japan aren't the only ones holding grudges.
WW Thinker
I am glad to see that you brought out the history. In contrast to how the Germans publicly regretted at the bad things done at WWII, Japan never did that in their heart. Since WWII, Japan government deliberately changed the text books to distort the history to the point that its invasion of China was a good deeds. Worst, USA unilaterally gave the "right to manage an island seized by Japan during before the WWII" to Japan, despite of the potests by the powerless Taiwan and the still-closed China at the time.
Chineses in general prefer money than politics. Therefore, the grudges upon Japan is because the ruling politicians in Japan have been trying over the past two centuries to seize stuff from China, worst still, generations of ruling politicians of Japan never really respect China and keep denying the wrongs done!
There was grumbling by some in the US when Microsoft released a version of Encarta sanitized of references to things like the Rape of Nanking to avoid upsetting the Japanese, who steadfastly refuse to admit it, and I have an old friend who is Chinese and a dedicated photographer, who rails about Japanese actions in WWII and won't use Japanese cameras.
But Japan is hardly the only offender in the "can't admit it" box. Ask the Turks about genocide against the Armenians. The usual answer will reduce to "It didn't happen, and if it did they're an inferior lifeform who deserved it." *Nobody* likes to admit to things like that. Germany didn't have much choice: it was surrounded by countries it had invaded, and if it wanted to be accepted by the rest of the world it had to own up.
Ultimately, I see money as the best hope. I'm in NYC, a block above one of the areas called "Little India". It's full of Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi restaurants, grocery stores, clothing stores, and video rental places. It's a mix of people who hate each other and are at the brink of war back home, but over here, the ethos seems to be "We have a common overriding interest: making money! Check your ethnic, sectarian, and religious rivalries at the door or you won't be happy here..."
For that matter, what about China wrt Tibet? For some reason, Chinese kids are indoctrinated to believe Tibet is naturally belongs to China. Since when?
Good point Bert, I am puzzled why I can't have my Internet on my TV...the signal comes from the same coax cable...I just got Apple TV to go over that hurdle but my iPad doesn't play flash so there are limitations...Kris
WW Thinker
The reason is simple, worldwide, there are a bunch of MSOs (e.g. Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, ..) whose interest is not to serve you, but to make the fat cats of the financial world happy!
Unless, these MSOs, the fat cats, and the broadcast stations, the movie studios, the government officials all come to some kind of agreement, you are not going to see in your life time the realization of the truly "pull" model for TV contents!
However, you can do something now for the benefit of your next generation to force the shift to the "pull model". Cut off the cable/satellite subscription, hook up one of your idling notebook/PC with HDMI output to your flat-screen TV, buy the indoor HDTV antenna from Costco. Then, you will have a true internet TV which is not wall-gardened and HDTV signals without Comcast re-coding the HD signals to a lesser resolution.
How well that notion will work will depend on where you are and what you watch. I'm in NYC. Forget broadcast channels, regardless of whose antenna you buy. If you want viewable reception, you have cable, or possibly a dish. And most of what I might want to watch isn't on broadcast TV, and requires cable anyway.
You might be surprised, if you gave it a try.
First point is, though, that in RFenvironments similar to NYC, i.e. just about any major city in Europe, the majority of over the air TV users rely on either a building antenna or their own outdoor antenna, installed professionally on the top of the apartment building. The majority cannot make do with indoor antennas.
Another point is that one of our neighbors wrote just about exactly the same words you did, in the community newssheet, when analog TV went off the air. Imagine my surprise, since I had been using over the air digital TV for years, relying only on indoor antennas, the downstairs one sitting inside my fireplace!
Digital TV receivers of reasonably recent vintage do a good job with reflected RF. And, of course, there's also lots of TV available now over the Internet, either at the site of the major networks themselves, or in over-the-top sites like Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, heck try even this one:
You can watch live TV from an enormous number of countries online. Even such nice stuff as BBC World Service.
No reason to believe that there's no TV beyond your MSO.
I would be surprised, because I used to *get* broadcast TV. Antenna didn't matter: there was *one* broadcast channel that came through acceptably, because the transmitter was atop the Empire State Building, which is a 5 minute walk from me. Everything else was hash.
And while I watch next to no TV, my SO watches a fair amount, and the majority of her fare isn't available broadcast - it's cable only.
The strategy wouldn't work for me. If it works for others, a tip of the hat to them.
I totally agree with your analysis, ... but hold on.
Since when do the CE companies work for the MSOs? Doesn't the "C" in "CE" mean "consumer?"
That's why, when they seem totally incompetent in designing a proper Internet "thin client," and when consequently their sales drop, I have very little sympathy.
And BTW, your analysis also applies to the inclusion of DTV "tuners." The CE companies kept dragging their feet, not JUST to build in the tuners, but even to sell reasonably effective separate stand-alone tuners. Why? It's obvious. They're in bed with the MSOs.
As I've indicated elsewhere, my solution was to ignore so-called "connected TVs," and instead dedicate a PC to the role of Internet STB.
dont worry junko, japanese folks are blessed with talents. their skill in making (cheap) cameras is still monopolying.
germans, uh... they seems don't know how to make sub $5000 camera.
I believe camera and camcorder market share will be stolen by smart phone. I have rarely used camera and camcorder since i have a smart phone.
I suspect Japan's problems here are fundamentally political.
From a business standpoint, the Japanese TV makers should exit that line of business. They can't make money, are racking up massive losses, and the current territorial dispute with China simply underscores the issues. (I question whether the drop in sales in China is material to the losses: if you aren't making money on a product, and may be losing money on each sale, selling less may be a Good Thing.)
The problem is that actually getting *out* of the TV business will require major layoffs, yet more expenses to write off the remaining value of the TV business, and a rather serious loss of face for "Japan, Inc."
I think whether this happens will be a government decision, and the question is whether this is a step the Japanese government is capable of taking. Making the admission "We can't compete in TV, and should cut our losses and stop trying." will come hard for all concerned.
(I also wonder what the Japanese government *thought* would happen when they asserted control over the disputed islands, and whether the strength of the Chinese reaction was an unpleasant surprise.)
LG and Samsung TV quality far exceeds any other brand. No need to discuss politics; the previous statement is the sole reason for other brands troubles.
It is indeed a very difficult decision for the Japanese brands. To abandon the China market is to give up the huge market to local brands and others. It seems the tactics of foreign brands in China has always been to charge high prices because the rich in China increasingly can afford them. But this puts the foreign brands in a box of small sales numbers while local brands fight for the low price market, but with huge volumes. Take the camera market for example, the Japanese brands dominate by being vertically integrated but small volume. The chinese have however gotten into the volume optical market of the cellphones and computer vision areas and the CMOS chips are the newer technology. So the Japanese camera makers are shut out of the huge volume, high quality, smaller and less expensive area. Sunny for example sells these opto components to everybody; Samsung, Toshiba, ZTE, Foxconn. CMOS will get better and better. As long as the reality of the components are on the side of Chinese, Japan will slowly lose out. Another industry going.
China did not start this latest dispute but once started, Noda thought China can be finessed like previous times. All political parties are getting hawkish and so he went along. Now they did not anticipate the hurt would be this much.
"China did not start this latest dispute but once started, Noda thought China can be finessed like previous times. All political parties are getting hawkish and so he went along. Now they did not anticipate the hurt would be this much."
Japan sounds much the same as the US in this. One of the problems for the US has historically been that foreign policy decisions are made based on domestic political concerns. Someone wants to keep voters happy, says what the voters want to hear, does what they think the voters will approve of, and gets a surprise when it blows up overseas.
It sounds like the Japanese policy makers involved never seriously thought about what China might do - only about what the Japanese voters would think. Oops.

"We're truly very excited to bring Tractor Supply into the Portsmouth area, specifically New Boston," Store Manager Chris Crawford said. "There's certainly a need for a store like Tractor Supply. Lots of customers were already driving an hour one way to get to a store in Ashland (Ky.), Chillicothe, Gallipolis, and now we've given them a hometown location to meet their lifestyle needs."
Tractor Supply District Manager Mike Knoplesch said the company had been looking at the area for a while.
"There has been a gap in the area for the market that we serve," Knoplesch said. "It seemed like a natural fit and everyone in town has been very welcoming, so it's pretty exciting for us."
With a name like Tractor Supply, Knoplesch said it is easy to misjudge their variety of merchandise.
"We sell clothing and pet food and livestock supplies and lawn and garden supplies, even outdoor things for your lawn and patio," Knoplesch said. "We have a tractor show out front. We have animals, a bake sale going on."
New Boston Mayor Jim Warren said the opening of the store follows a lot of hard work to make it happen.
"This store is really a plus for the area. I worked with them hard in order to get it here, and I think it's something that has really added to this mall," Warren said. "It's going to bring it back to life, and with our (Village) Council and everybody working with them, it's going to be a success. So the area has the opportunity to grow again. Tractor Supply is going to be one of those leaders in our area. I'm proud of it, and it has been a lot of hard work. We did a lot of negotiating with Tractor Supply to get them here, and it all paid off."
A ribbon-cutting ceremony with company and village officials drew an applause from employees and customers alike. Shoppers walked through the store taking advantage of grand opening specials, and just checking out the merchandise in general.
"It certainly is a unique store. We cater to that out-here lifestyle – everybody from the person who just puts a few garden plants out in the back yard – to the one who's got the full 40 acres and a mule," Crawford said.
