A living breathing relationship with God, which is what we hopefully have been pursuing, seems to require us to "do this, or do that, or don't do thus and so". Believing this makes faith and relationship a formula, a formula we already know doesn't work. Throughout for years, we have left out the key factor. We have walked away from the one thing that is the absolute. It is not a matter of how any one of us translates the Bible. It is not a matter of my translation and your translation. When I read a sentence that says, the dog walked across the road, then I should without question say, okay the dog is on the other side of the road. But when we read in scripture, "as He is so are we in the earth" we somehow want to say that is not what it means. Though there are absolutes in scripture, we need to remember the diverseness of God. There is only one absolute dear readers, the only absolute is God! For me to say that I am going to study theology is a bit of a silly notion, knowing that theology by definition is the study of God. I am not sure if any of us can do that. Please call me the minute you get God to sit under a microscope for you and let you probe on Him. He won't sit still for us church. He is God, He is absolute. What kind of study would that be? The universe as we know it is ongoing, there is no end to it, it continues to grow. Science says that it is still expanding even as you read this page. Yet God says that He measures the universe with the span of His hand. How long would it take to study that? How long does it take to know God? How do you study God? You don't study God! The concept of theology is an admirable thing. We want to learn more about the Lord, so we study the scriptures diligently. Everything we know about God is what He has revealed to us, and that revelation is our intimacy with Him. This chapter on abiding is what the Lord has revealed to me about how we fit in that relationship with Him. As you know Him better, He can reveal more of himself to us and we can have deeper knowledge and better understanding. Take a look at 2 Peter starting in Chapter 1:2-8
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What we know, He has revealed, to draw us closer to Him, to bring us to a place of abiding(living) in Him I write this to expose what an incredible privilege it is to be able to abide in the Lord and to abide in His word.
2 Peter 1:2-8 reveals to us that according to His power He hath given, (past tense) to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, He has given, (past tense) everything that we need to live a holy and successful life through our knowledge of Him. He has called us to glory and virtue. He has already done it! Now what we have to do is obtain the knowledge. He goes on to say that we need to know that He has given to us exceeding great and precious promises. This is where Salvation comes in. We were born again through the knowledge of the Cross. We acknowledge the work of the cross by receiving, not rejecting God's love. By receiving God's love we have come to a place that we now walk in salvation. Through the knowledge of Him and the promises He has given us we may be partakers of His divine nature. He has created us to be his sons. This is the purpose and plan of God that we have talked about, the privilege that God has afforded us, not a burden but a blessing. To sit at the feet of our Lord, and let Him reveal to us who He is and what He has for us, for Him to change our hearts, our lives, our minds, and for us to see Him in a new light.
For too long we have grown complacent, for too long we have sat at the feet of a man who loves God, but isn't God, and we have learned what he believes is "the way". We have fallen so short. God has so much more in store for us."
There is so much depth to this, so much substance, so much promise that we have to absorb, embrace, enter into. I am hoping that you will abandon yourself, your mind and your heart to the absoluteness and diversity of God. He is the great "I Am". He is absolute, and He reveals to us the things that He would have us to know and to understand. He shows us who we really are as we sit at His feet, the Master's Feet! That is where we hear truth from Him. Would that we would wake up, and stand up and be the Church that we are supposed to be. We would be full of glory, we would be full of power, we would be full of love. We would be full of God and His knowledge. We would understand that He deals with each of us in a unique way that is perfect for the unique person that we each are and that He may deal with the same situation in another's life in another way, tailored to who they are. As a people we need to understand and respect the diversity of God in His absoluteness. This whole journey for knowledge takes patience and time, it is a journey.

and if its' possible can c language program do something about the proxy and vpn thing?
Have you tried something simple, like using google to search for "proxy" and "vpn" to find out what they are?
You would probably learn more through a little investigative work of your own, rather than just throwing random questions on a forum and hoping to be spoonfed.
by me i rather asking whether searching with search engine services like google,
because sometimes search engine has flaws, wasting my time,
sorry if my question didnt related to the c forum
Sure, so you'd rather waste time of other people, by getting them to spend effort answering questions - even when information you're asking about is readily available.
Yes, it is true, sometimes a search engine will turn up low quality information. But, that is true of any source of information, including forums like this, magazines, textbooks, etc etc. Part of the learning process is putting in the time to look at a few relevant information sources, exercising some judgement about what is relevant and what is not. Sure, you'll get it wrong sometimes. But, making mistakes like that - in the long run - helps you learn.
And asking questions, with the expectation of being spoonfed, is actually the best way to become misinformed. Some people will give good answers. Some will make well-meaning but honest mistakes. Some people will deliberately feed misinformation to you. That is why there is no alternative to doing the work for yourself. Use books, google searches, forums like this as resources - but still remember that NONE of them can eliminate the need for effort by YOU to sift good information from the bad.
And, when you find good information, remember the people who provide have probably put in the time to learn - and they are still imperfect. And they will not appreciate you implying your time is more important than theirs.

Little Hint: There is a free online encyclopedia which is in many cases the best starting place if you are searching for an explanation of a special term. I think it starts with "Wiki" :-).

That missed my point. The point was that there is a difference between not providing any helpful information and providing incorrect information. What if the OP had actually believed that? Then you would have provided incorrect information knowingly. That is not something the OP deserves.
I find it amusing that it's more important to you that someone provided incorrect information rather than correcting bad information.
Correcting it would go against what everyone else here has mentioned (find it out yourself). I generally honour other members unless I find them to providing incorrect information.
If I had mentioned nothing, no one would probably complain.
If I inject an opinion without providing correction, then people start to complain... what a world. Perhaps I share the feeling that the OP should put some effort into finding the information him/herself.
Elkvis answer was actually correct. That's what a proxy is. Replace person with server. To the good listener, half a word is enough.

I'm not sure how this works or what fundamentalists will make of it. OK, on second part we know what they'll think, they won't like it. But apparently a group of researchers have used Three D printing technology to fashion a human embryonic stem cell, or literally a facsimile thereof:
Link — In order to make sure that technique was successful, the scientists then performed a number of tests. They made sure that the hESCs remained alive after printing and tested to see if they maintained their ability to differentiate into different types of cells. In addition, they also checked to see if the concentration, characterization and distribution of the hESCs were accurate enough to make the valve-based printing method viable.
It turned out that this method wasn't only viable, but precise. The scientists found that the printed cells, driven by pneumatic pressure and controlled by the opening and closing of a microvalve, were in order and maintained their ability to be differentiated into any other cell type.
If it can be done with single cells, it might be done with tissue made off several different kinds of cells. Since organs are made of tissues, it might be possible to FAX and Three D print organs; next up would be entire metazoan organisms. Could we FAX a person, or a clone anyway, someday?
Maybe. Then no need to flip open the communicator and tell Mr Scott one to beam up. We could just could open the smart phone and say "I'll FAX myself right over in a couple of minutes!"

Rehearing Denied June 9, 1947.
See 331 U.S. 867 . [ Harris v. U.S. 331 U.S. 145 (1947) ] [331 U.S. 145 , 146]
Messrs. Roy St. Lewis, of Washington, D.C., and Herbert K. Hyde, of Oklahoma City, Okl., for petitioner.
Mr. Frederick Bernays Wiener, of Providence, R.I., for respondent.
Mr. Chief Justice VINSON delivered the opinion of the Court.
Petitioner was convicted on sixteen counts of an indictment1 charging the unlawful possession, concealment and [331 U.S. 145 , 147] alteration of certain Notice of Classification Cards and Registration Certificates in violation of 11 of the Selective Raining and Service Act of 1940,2 and of 48 of the Criminal Code. 3 Prior to the trial, petitioner moved to suppress the evidence, which served as the basis for the conviction, on the grounds that it had been obtained by means of an unreasonable search and seizure contrary to the provisions of the Fourth Amendment4 and that to permit the introduction of that evidence would be to violate the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amend- [331 U.S. 145 , 148] ment. 5 The motion to suppress was denied, and petitioner's numerous objections to the evidence at the trial were overruled. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction. 10 Cir., 151 F.2d 837. Certiorari was granted because of the importance of the questio presented. .
Two valid warrants of arrest were issued. One charged that petitioner and one Moffett had violated the Mail Fraud Statute6 by causing a letter addressed to the Guaranty Trust Company of New York to be placed in the mails for the purpose of cashing a forged check for $25,000 drawn on the Mudge Oil Company in pursuance of a scheme to defraud. The second warrant charged that petitioner and Moffett, with intent to defraud certain banks and the Mudge Oil Company, had caused a $25,000 forged check to be transported in interstate commerce, in violation of 3 of the National Stolen Property Act. 7
Five agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting under the authority of the two warrants, went to the apartment of petitioner in Oklahoma City and there arrested him. The apartment consisted of a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Following the arrest, which took place in the living room, petitioner was handcuffed and a search of the entire apartment was undertaken. The agents stated that the object of the search was to find two $10,000 canceled checks of the Mudge Oil Company which had been stolen from that company's office and which were thought to have been used in effecting the forgery. There was evidence connecting petitioner with that theft. In addition, the search was said to be for the purpose of locating 'any means that might [331 U.S. 145 , 149] be used to commit these wo crimes, such as burglary tools, pens, or anything that could be used in a confidence game of this type.'8
One agent was assigned to each room of the apartment and, over petitioner's protest, a careful and thorough search proceeded for approximately five hours. As the search neared its end, one of the agents discovered in a bedroom bureau drawer a sealed envelope marked 'George Harris, personal papers.' The envelope was torn open and on the inside a smaller envelope was found containing eight Notice of Classification cards and 11 Registration Certificates bearing the stamp of Local Board No. 7 of Oklahoma County. It was this evidence upon which the conviction in the District Court was based and against which the motion to suppress was directed. It is conceded that the evidence is in no way related to the crimes for which petitioner was initially arrested and that the search which led to its discovery was not conducted under the authority of a search warrant. 9
In denying the motion to suppress the District Court wrote no opinion. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed [331 U.S. 145 , 150] the conviction, finding that the search was carried on in good faith by the federal agents for the purposes expressed, that it was not a general exploratory search for merely evidentiary materials, and that the search and seizure were a reasonable incident to petitioner's arrest.

text: I was thinking about two different things: 1) From what we can see of our Galaxy, there isn't enough "visible" matter to account for the Galaxy having enough gravity to not tear itself apart. 2) If aliens are out there somewhere, why haven't we seen them? Well... what about Dyson Spheres? Suppose an advanced civilisation (or more than one) made itself a Dyson Sphere among some stars at the edge of the Galaxy, where the gravity isn't as intense as being near the core... so that the Sphere was more structurally stable. That would account for both the undetected matter holding the Galaxy together and be an explanation for why we've not detected any evidence of aliens, because it's all nicely self-contained in a Dyson Sphere.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Hall of Fame Jockey Kent Desormeaux pleaded guilty Thursday to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct after being arrested for allegedly intentionally hitting a New York Racing Authority guard with his car.
Desormeaux, 41, of Placide Road in Maurize, Calif., was charged Aug. 31 with second-degree reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, after police say he drove his 2003 silver Porsche Carrera into a female NYRA security guard.
According to Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III, the victim in the case was satisfied by the jockey's plea to a lesser charge.
"She expressed to me that she did not want (Desormeaux) to have a criminal record, but she also did not want the case to just go away," Murphy said.
The jockey will be required to take a defensive driving course and pay a $200 fine.
According to court documents, Desormeaux was not in court Thursday because he was on his way to Belmont Park, but entered his plea through his attorney.
Belmont Park holds its Fall Championship Meet starting Sept. 10.

Dom / html forms / loops?
Hi everyone,
dest1.php is a PHP script which includes JavaScript to validate a form client side.
Using a wildcard search method the script queries the database for a destination.
Once dest1.php is displayed becuase some journeys may incur an additional surcharge the user has to make a selection from either a YES or NO radio button option displayed within a HTML form. The JavaScript code on the page is meant to check whether a selection has been made so the customer will be quoted the correct amount.
If only one result is displayed the client side validation works fine, however, if more than one result is displayed it does not work at all.
I know it is probably due to the fact that I have referred to the form using the DOM method but I am not sure how to correct it, can anyone help?
I have included the script dest1.php as an attachment,

Hi babe,
I've attached a multiple results page.
I know the problem is that all the forms are called the same but as I am relatively new to programming I am having trouble sorting it out.
It's for my dad and he wants the site online ASAP,

Hi all, I?m looking for a PDA basically to enable me to download a dictionary & to take notes on the go. The dictionary I want to download is the Collins Complete English Dictionary from MSDict. I do not need any other complicated features. But the PDA should be equipped with:-
1) Flash memory (or other means/support) such that info stored will not get lost when the battery goes flat;
2) Self-Replaceable battery (not having to send unit in) if I can help;
3) USB connection to sync with PC;
4) Colour screen;
5) Large screen preferably;
6) Windows or Palm OS ? doesn?t matter.
I know what I need seems pretty primitive, but all other feature can be done with my mobile. I just need something really simple (& kind to the pocket) for dictionary and writing, & not to interfere with communications! Well if the device can take e-book, that will be a bonus! Thank you in advance.

Berkshire public schools to share $90K state grant for curriculum development
DALTON -- Ten Berkshire County public school districts are the co-recipients of a nearly $90,000 state grant to share curriculum planning resources.
Central Berkshire Regional School District is taking the lead on coordinating the new Berkshire County Curriculum Frameworks Project, which also includes the Adams-Cheshire, Berkshire Hills and Southern Berkshire regional school districts; Northern Berkshire Vocational Technical School District (McCann Tech), as well as the districts of Clarksburg, Florida, Savoy, Lee and Lenox.
"The need that we all have, that smaller districts in Berkshire County have, is for resources -- more so for manpower -- to help us develop our curriculum and instructional units to take account of the major changes in the educational landscape," said Central Berkshire Superintendent William Cameron.
As an example, he cited this year's implementation of the new Common Core national standards for English language arts and mathematics instruction adopted by the state.
Another such change is the development of guidelines and proposed new assessments under the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, also known as PARCC.
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, the Berkshire Compact for Education and the Berkshire Readiness Center have worked together to organize and host teacher training sessions on Common Core and PARCC to prepare for, among other things, the curricular changes.
Doug McNally, coordinator for the Berkshire Readiness Center, said this so-called curriculum mapping will change what's being taught grade by grade, the kinds of teaching materials used and the way students are asked to demonstrate and express their knowledge.
"We need to take into consideration the outcomes of the standards and ask what does that mean for curriculum? What should be the readings, the materials, what's the vocabulary, what the best assessment," said Cynthia Brown, MCLA's vice president of academic affairs.
"None of us has the in-house resources to do this [new work] well. We are looking for help from the state for fiscal support so we can share resources in a way that could create support for all our districts," Cameron said.
Initially the curriculum project group put in a request for $300,000 for support, but received $89,520 instead to do their shared work.
The commonwealth's administration has been encouraging municipalities and town departments to regionalize in various ways to promote cost-savings as the state budget constricts. Last fall, the state put out a request for proposals under its Community Innovation Challenge grant program designed to incentivize cities and towns to develop regional collaboratives for projects and services. A total of $2.25 million was awarded to 27 collaborative projects.
"Our new fiscal reality demands that government change the way it does business to stretch every taxpayer dollar as far as possible," said Glen Shor, the state's secretary of administration and finance.
McNally said that statewide, schools and districts can expect to participate in more of this kind of collaboration and regional directive from the state, whether it be mapping science curriculum, improving instruction for English language learners or screening children for early childhood education.

Yeah, Harlem, Bronx, Brooklyn
[Verse 1: Nas]
Let's make a bet, I know the reason you ain't make it yet
Your stage was set, but you ain't see the tedious ingredients
That go inside of a rider, you hiding from problems and
You never knew how to make dollars
You couldn't make orders at a drive-through McDonald's
I was fly at the Apollo with Black Jason, '89 with a bottle
Niggas jealous of Jason, dark green seven forty, no tint
Rollie on wrist, gleaming he rock the baldy
Used to ride with him to Brooklyn, Lewis and Halsey
Cop chocolate Thai, Vernon style and burn it down
My nigga hype in the federal joint, verdict out
Twenty years getting money in the Dirty South
That's alleged, you see my nigga's a stand up dude
So I'm yelling, "Free my nigga!"
My nephew godfather Malik, he jammed up too
For what his hands usually call for, but he ain't do it
[Hook: Victoria Monét]
Who you are ain't in the recipe to what I am
'Cause where I'm from
Man, what I see, you wouldn't understand
Where I been and what I do
No matter how you try you never can
'Cause where I'm from
Man, what I see, you wouldn't understand
Where I been, where I been
[Verse 2: Nas]
You ever been on the other end of a robber's revolver?
Not me, call me Lucky Nas Castellana
Or been shot in the medulla oblongata
And survived and praise God with a bullet I never collided
Some did and they lived, I salute the gods
Moët spilling, splashed by mistake on my Timb boots for y'all
N.Y. nigga, Adidas, jogging suit
Shelltoes, slim, fly nigga
Hudson River, rent a boat, t-shirt with a dinner coat
A vintage Fila like I'm the ghost of Domencio
On any day getting throat in a tinted vehicle
Like a old BK gangsta, but I'm the CEO
Of Nasty Nas Enterprises, mastermind, made men
My success symbolizes loyalty, great friends
Dedication, hard work, routine builds character
In a world full of snakes, rats and scavengers
Never make choices out of desperation, I think through it
Break through walls like Pink Floyd, and drink fluids
Of all kind of alcohol, y'all
Vineyards in France, yachts out in Cannes
[Verse 3: Nas]
Now holla at a millionaire
Rollie, Hublot and Audemar, deciding which one to wear
Who to screw, what to drive
550 with the cream guts inside
Or the Super Sport Range truck is fly
Diamond ring on my knuckles, like fire, bitch
Gats on us, I don't really trust these guys
Spend a couple bucks a night on bottles on cuties
If she beautiful, the lustful type, I'll hit it and bust inside
Fuck it, I'ma die one day
They gon' probably make that day a holiday
Until then, let's go on a shopping spree
Speaking for my real niggas
Only OG's, certified who kill niggas
When put in that seat, but tonight we on chill, nigga
Chill mode, spill more Spades
Listen to Yeezy and Hov, some Rozay
It's like we always on the grind with no brakes
So tonight we gon' act like we on vacation

Numerous missteps by regulators past, insensitive to the differences, assured that in business downturns, railroads were unable to meet fixed costs, much less invest in renewal or demand-driven expansion of plant and equipment. For nine decades following creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), a pandemic of insolvencies periodically ensued, notwithstanding well-meaning attempts to substitute the government leviathan for the invisible hand of market forces.
The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 allowed some 80% of all rail traffic to avoid regulatory oversight, while the ICC and its Surface Transportation Board (STB) successor insulated differential (a/k/a value-of-service or Ramsey) pricing from unwarranted attack. Railroad financial health is now the strongest in modern history, attracting envy from shippers and investors.
Differential pricing makes railroads competitive with rights-of-way subsidized trucks and barges in that rail rates may be set slightly above the variable costs of moving the freight, generating a small contribution to fixed costs. On freight with no effective alternatives to rail (captive traffic), shippers pay higher rates that cover a larger proportion of fixed costs. Collectively, a railroad achieves revenue adequacy.
Captive coal, chemicals and grain shippers, much of whose freight remains subject to potential regulation, most frequently seek regulatory redress. Often, they don't prevail; and their commotions attracted congressional interest. Regulators developed ever more complex and expensive formula to decide complaints of excessive rates. Yet the high-cost of pursuing such cases — $5 million is average for shippers — begs for reform.
Indeed, bringing a rate case under the STB's Stand Alone Cost (SAC) cost test requires the shipper -- on paper and employing for the task a flock of accountants, attorneys, economists, rail operating experts and statisticians -- to construct, operate and maintain a hypothetical railroad built from scratch. There are as many suggestions for reform as there are attorneys representing rail and shipper interests.
The newest member of the STB, former Kansas transportation secretary Deb Miller (at left), just two months on the job, already recognizes something is amiss. Her ability to nurture cooperative focus among disparate interests – "gain consensus to deliver a better product faster" -- resulted in her being retained in her Kansas cabinet post by a far-to-the-right governor whose predecessor was left of center.
"The complexity and cost of SAC is astounding," Miller says. "If one could find an approach that wouldn't require the enormous time and cost that SAC requires would be beneficial. It is not going to be a perfect approach, but an extremely interesting intellectual endeavor to turn up alternatives that are economically desirable." This is especially so, she says, with non-coal, non-unit-train cases, such as chemicals and grain shipments.
Can an alternative to a SAC-type process "that captures all the complexities" of such cases be "satisfying to the parties? I don't know. Nobody does."
In acknowledging the issue will remain before the STB -- it is unlikely Congress will amend the statute near-term -- Miller would welcome greater opportunity for the STB's three members to share ideas, an approach dissuaded by federal ethics rules that prohibit even informal in-camera conversations. "I regret it is not easier to have open conversations and an exchange of ideas, but I appreciate the [ethics rules]."
Miller also wants the STB's decision process to be more transparent and functional. Drawing on her Kansas DOT background, she favors setting interim goals and monitored performance schedules for interdisciplinary staff teams. "I fully understand" complaints that parties sometimes have difficulty learning the status of STB cases and where they are in the decision process."
For an agency oft criticized for opaque procedures and being disinclined toward risk taking, Miller offers refreshing outspokenness. As a shipper attorney said during her nomination process, "She may have this odd idea that staff works for her, and not vice versa. And if she knows enough not to take the railroads, and Washington, at face value, then she could have lots of potential."

A Letter to Hector Ruiz

Dear Mr. Hector Ruiz,
After I heard your speech at the
American Antitrust Institute in Washington, D.C.
, I couldn't believe my ears so I had to write this down. First of all, I agree that you have some valid complaints about Intel. However, you and your lawyers took it way too far. You're making it look like Intel is forcing others not to sell your products by placing military troops at your door; which is not true.
You claimed that Intel is a monopolist and Microsoft isn't. As far as we know, Intel is not forcing software developers to write software and games that will work only on Intel's hardware. But ... Microsoft is taking related actions toward Apple for example, so Intel and Microsoft do not appear to be in the same 'Monopolist abuser' league.
I really think you guys took it too far with that Intel U.S. Antitrust case. Yes, Intel is big and uses certain pressure tactics which some may break the U.S. laws; but you can't blame them for everything. It takes two to Tango, and Intel cannot dance alone. You're dancing with them instead of working on making better products for AMD consumers. It appears that you want to spend money on lawyers and ridiculous antitrust laws which will likely lead you nowhere.
The important thing in competition is you need to work hard to increase your companies chances of winning. If you're sitting down and whining about your competitor, it will get you nowhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to make fun of you nor AMD. I'm here to try to help you, despite the aggressive criticism.
Instead of dedicating your time and your money to this case, concentrate on working hard to provide better products. Let's take a look at the latest R600; we all had very high expectations about it yet after reading results, I burst into tears. Personally, I like ATI/AMD, (
especially after NVIDIA tried to sue me
) but I must admit that the R600 simply doesn't cut it when compared to the 8800 series from NVIDIA. You can probably cook eggs on it due to its high temperatures (And maybe Barbeque), and the performance is a joke. Perhaps a lower pricing point instead of where it currently sits, which is too close to the GeForce 8800 GTS. Also reports that you need a small nuclear power plant to run it in Crossfire, does nothing to entice the high end users to dig into the wallet.
Take a look at your processors line - which is not bad at all. But again, there is such a mess in naminig the SKUs that like the majority of others I'm too confused. I'm a member of the press, I do receive information time to time, and I still don't understand what the hell is going on. If the press dont get enough insight about your current product line let alone upcoming products, how the hell would the consumers know? Every two weeks I'm getting new information but I turn around and see some new products in the shop that you guys never told us about. Even though, when it comes to processors, you're not too far behind to still offer Intel competition.
Here is my take on what your problem is!
Your marketing simply doesn't exist, and you think the world market rotates strictly around the United States. The world is not based just on the United States or OEM's like Dell. Stop using your time and resources on these antitrust lawsuits inside the United States, and all these system builders/suppliers. There is a big world outside of the U.S.! There are 6,555,000,000 people on earth, and only 300 million of them live in the United States of America.
Your real problem is that you failed making AMD and the Athlon into famous brands. For example, if I travel to Africa and ask someone on the street: 'Where can I find McDonalds?' chances are they could give me exact directions. And in McDonalds's, if I ask for Coca-Cola and a Big Mac, they will have it for sure. Why? Because these are known brands as well. After I ate, I want to buy new shoes, and as you know already, everyone knows Nike. Do you get my point? If I ask someone about Intel or Pentium, they will probably know what I'm talking about; because these are known brands as well.
Do you know why? Because you guys never advertise! You're not dedicating enough resources, efforts or time in other countries. Intel is out there making deals with governments and advertising on TV nonstop. How do you expect people to hear about you and your products? I have never seen an AMD ad in my country, unlike Intel's.
Let's admit it, most home users only use PCs for basic needs. Not everyone is experienced like us. If you ask a newbie, 'Which processor do you want? AMD or Intel?' They would say Intel. Why? because that's the only processor, they have heard of. No one will buy your products if you're not advertising and letting them know.
Just for your information, a few years ago when I worked in a hardware shop here in Israel, we had a lot trouble getting AMD products in our country, basically due to the lack of worldwide distribution lines, that again shows us weakness with your marketing and international support.
So how do you break a monopoly? Not by these lawsuits in the U.S., but by increasing the demand for AMD products. If you start working in more countries, placing advertisements in the media, open new marketing offices, you will get far more recognition. If some retailer is working only with Intel, after many user requests, they will have no choice but offers your products as well.
Every business wants to generate income with minimum costs. Every business wants to make high sales, but if 30% of their customers are demanding AMD's products, they will have to provide it, or lose a lot of money and customers. Instead of whining about monopolies, how about you start to work on creating demand?
How much money has AMD spent on litigation since 1997?
Let the public know about your current and upcoming products. Work close with the press so they will like you, put ads in newspapers and TV stations to attract basic users; and focus on making better products. Focus on making AMD into a known brand like Coca-Cola everywhere! Not only in the United States.
As I said, You need to increase the demand, and only then will you see Intel's empire falling down - even without U.S. Antitrust lawsuits. So please instead of crying and whining to Uncle Sam about Intel's illegal behavior, work to fix your flaws and offer us some real competition. Don't blame Intel for monopolist behavior; blame yourself for letting them do that, and for failing to offer international competition like you should.
Don't forget that we are the consumers, we buy your products, we decide which processor to buy. All you need to do is to convince us/shops to pick your product, and if you're failing to do so, you're pushing them into Intel's nasty hands.

text: In mid November I purchased a Shoei Neotec from a local retailer. I noticed pretty quickly that it leaks water from the top of the visor. On December 8th I returned it to the store for repair. From my understanding it went to a company called the Helmet House in California which has a contract with Shoei. I have contacted them, my retailer and Shoei to find out what's going on and nobody knows anything. Repeated promises to call me back have resulted in nothing. I recognize the holidays were right in the middle but is this normal? Am I just being an impatient, douche customer? I've been courteous at each interaction I just want to know what the holdup is. Either it can be fixed or it can't. I would think the retailer and Shoei would work this out and I would just get a replacement if it can't be repaired. Anybody else have some experience with Shoei or helmet repair times/policies in general? Thanks, Mike

Norma, I'm sorry you were not invited last night. I was only going to make a couple pies for my family but then Sue invited the neighbors down and Lauren showed up with her boyfriend and I ended up making eleven pizzas. If I knew it was going to be a party I'd have invited you for sure.
Thanks, everyone, for all the kind words! It's been a lot of work but a lot of fun building the trailer. We lifted the body off the frame in order to beef up the frame to handle the extra weight, and also installed a new heavy duty torsion axle and a new floor. The oven is a Forno Bravo casa 90, 36" floor. Back in the 60s, shiny aluminum Christmas trees were popular. The color wheel has a built-in spotlight that would project colored light onto the tree. It works well against the white walls in the trailer. Kind of psychedelic looking. We've had the trailer out a few times so far with fairly positive response. I honestly don't know if this will ever be anything more than a hobby business. We plan to spend the winter planning for next year and possibly expanding our menu beyond just pizza a little bit. We're fairly space limited, so we can't get too carried away.
Just curious Steve, what is the tongue weight of the Airstream with the oven being up front like that?
I would have liked to take Steve up on that offer, but I had dogs to let out.
Norma,At least you remembered that you had dogs .Peter
Can't wait to see pics of your first event! It's going to blow people's minds!I'm wondering what this is... I blew up the pic.
you still haven't talked about a name for her......just sayin', ORRRRR maybe a naming contest with the winner getting wined and dined in the Airstream, pay your own way there!!!! jon

has struggled this time around in the GPU war. Its first
DirectX 11 products were
delivered a full seven months after AMD's.
While its new units are at last trickling onto the market and are
very powerful, they're also hot, loud, and power hogs. However,
NVIDIA is staking much on the prediction that the computer industry
will be ditching traditional architectures and moving towards
parallel designs; a movement which it sees its CUDA GPU computing as
an ideal solution for.Intel and NVIDIA have long
traded jabs, and Intel's recent failed
GPU bid, Larrabee, does
little to warm to the ice. In a recent op-ed entitled "Life
After Moore's Law", published in Forbes,
NVIDIA VP Bill Dally attacks the very foundation of Intel's business
-- Moore's Law -- declaring it dead.Moore's Law stemmed from
a paper [PDF]
published by Gordon Moore 45 years ago this month. Moore,
co-founder of Intel, predicted in the paper that the number of
transistors per area on a circuit would double every 2 years (later
revised to 18 months). This prediction was later extend to
predict that computing power would roughly double every 18 months, a
prediction that became known as Moore's Law.Now with die
shrinks becoming
more problematic, NVIDIA is convinced the end is nigh for Moore's
Law (and Intel). Writes Dally:
paper also contained another prediction that has received far less
attention over the years. He projected that the amount of energy
consumed by each unit of computing would decrease as the number of
transistors increased. This enabled computing performance to scale up
while the electrical power consumed remained constant. This power
scaling, in addition to transistor scaling, is needed to scale CPU
in a development that's been largely overlooked, this power scaling
has ended. And as a result, the CPU scaling predicted by Moore's Law
is now dead. CPU performance no longer doubles every 18 months. And
that poses a grave threat to the many industries that rely on the
historic growth in computing performance.
says that the only near-term hope for the computer industry now that
Moore's Law is "over" is parallel computing -- splitting
workloads up among a variety of processors. However, he derides
multi-core efforts by AMD and Intel, stating, "Building a
parallel computer by connecting two to 12 conventional CPUs optimized
for serial performance, an approach often called multi-core, will not
work. This approach is analogous to trying to build an airplane by
putting wings on a train. Conventional serial CPUs are simply too
heavy (consume too much energy per instruction) to fly on parallel
programs and to continue historic scaling of performance."He
concludes, "Let's enable the future of computing to fly--not
rumble along on trains with wings."In other words, he
hopes you will buy NVIDIA GPUs and join the "Moore's Law is
dead" party.

Thread: Ballast Timings and comparisons
Ballast Timings and comparisons
Thanks to Moombadaze for helping me out with a little flow test timing compilation. I was curious as to how all of our modifications stack up with our different methods of upgrading the stock ballast or building new systems. Surprisingly the results are not that drastic between the different methods. Some of the results were a lot lower than what I would have expected. You can use the chart to divide your total weight by 8.35 (Weight of a gallon of water) and then divide that by the GPM of each setup. If you are going to use a three Tsunami pumps to fill 3 450 pound bags, your fill time would be around 7.19 minutes, since the pumps can pump at 7.5 gpm to each bag the fill time will match the chart. These timings get a little more complex with the multi valve setup. From the chart you can see my newest setup can do 11.54 gpm through 1 valve filling a 450 in 4.67 minutes three minutes faster than a single Tsunami, but filling 3 450s through three valves will take 9.33 minutes which is 2 minutes slower than three single Tsunamis. With all that said, either method is better than the stock 20 plus minutes and the end result is less than two minutes of fill time.
If you can do a test that is not listed above (Hint hint Ed with those Jabscos), please email me the test you performed, boat model and timings. These tests must be done through the full setup like Moombadaze has done not from just a pump dumping water. The GPM of a Tsunami 800 is 13.33 GPM at the head, but is 7.5 gpm through all of the hoses and fittings as in Stacy's case. If you are already on the water, pull one of your bags fitting and time how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon bucket, you can use a 1 gallon bucket, but a 5 gallon one will give you a better average.
My tests were done very similar to his, 5 gallon bucket pumped dry and timed. Time was divided by 5 to get the Gallon Per Minute (GPM) and the chart filled in appropriately.
Also If I have made any mistakes with my Shade Tree calculations, please correct me where I have given invalid data. The data will be different for some models hose length and pump location are a HUGE factor. I still need to fill in a few boxes this weekend from the new valves with the old pump.
So if you ask me which setup should you go with, my answer would be "It depends". In some cases each method is faster.
Stock setups are highlighted in Yellow.

Would like to see 3 800 pumps, 3 intake results with vented loop results; 3 800 pumps, 1 intake with vented loops. Also, are the stock sprinkler valves in the 08 GGIII system the 3/4" valves? Judging by the numbers looks like it would take well over 20 min to fill a center sac with two 750 rear sacs.

First off, nice chart.... well done.
I am surprised the Tsunami 800 is only putting out 7.5 GPM, they are rated by Atwood for around 14 GPM. I know I am getting better then 7.5 GPM out of my 800's in my setup. With all three 800's running, drafting out of one 3/4" intake, I am getting about 9.5-10GPM per pump, close to 30GPM when running all of them. It takes me about 8-8.5 minutes to fill 1900 lbs of ballast which is about 228 gallons.
Could you possibly get a little more flow from the water pressure coming in from the bottom of the boat when they are mounted well below the draft line??????2008 SUPRA Launch 22 SSV

Fman, the gpm where takin at the end of the hose, not the outlet on the pump as it will make a big difference. I was suprised also but when I read the package it gave to different pgm for pump outlet and after only 3' of hose. The hose i was using is about 7' long--it was the factory length.

Unless my calculations are wrong if you divide yout total weight by 8.35 you get 227.54 gallons then divide that by the three pumps (assuming all bags are equal weight) you get 75.84 gallons for each pump then divide that by your faster fill time of 8 minutes and you get 9.48 GPM per pump if you use the slower time you get 8.92 GPM. It is a true statement that if you spread the GPM across all three pumps your setup can do 28.44 GPM or 26.76GPM. So in your setup you are seeing slightly better results if the timing you have posted is accurate. Could you verify your timings with a stopwatch or use the 5 gallon bucket method. I want to make sure that all timings were gatherd in a similar method.15 Mondo Surf Edition

nice. a major improvement over what she has been wearing since Flashpoint.
All she needs is a large bug on her head. http://bluedevil.uatu.net/friends/images/Zatanna.JPG
I also flipped through Action Comics #19 out of curiosity and actually was pleasantly surprised by it. I'm assuming that Daniel is responsible for writing out what Diggle had already wrote before he departed the book? Luthor's latest plan is interesting, as well as where is right now, interesting that he was only referred to as "Mister Luthor" and not "Doctor Luthor" by the psychologist, I also found that interesting that Lex hired someone to psychoanalyze him. The art is just simply gorgeous. Also I didn't see the "one year ago" header in the preview when I stated my previous comments regarding Lois and Jon. I might actually continue with this.
I'm mixed on the cape. I get it from a stage production as part of her profession, the theatrics of it.
They may find a way to work it in as useful in her heroics aspect as well.
Action Comics: This is much more like, awesome, awesome book and very, very well drawn. Loved this.
Carmine Infantino Passes Away At Age 87
RIP Carmine Infantino
Did i miss something?
Last week Lex was in a Super Jail cell, now he's wandering free... Oh? He's doing a Mad Thinker by transmitting his mind into a robot/clone to live out a normal life in tandem with his life sentence.
Have we "seen" moment where he transitions from heroindustrialistmessiah to puppykickingsupervillian yet or is that still some where in the inbetween times?
How sad. My biggest exposure to his work was actually on Marvel's Star Wars comics. He was the regular artist from issue 11 till 37, with a few few issues after that.
I think this issue takes place before the events in the previous arc. Which, yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense, but, comic books.
This is the New 52 so yeah it's not going to make much sense due to all the time jumping around in the timeline. It did say at the start of the issue that the start of the issue at least takes place "one year ago".
Again I wouldn't call the issue "awesome awesome" but it's off to a good start, and better than I expected, and Daniel's art was simply gorgeous.
Well, Giffen just killed the last of my interest in Stormwatch.
I enjoyed this single issue of Action Comics more than all the ones that preceded it. I know Morrison is a God to some but I am very happy his stint is over.
God stopped writing bibles because he couldn't live up to his own hype.
After almost 2 thousand years, they talked him out of retirement, held a gun to his head and said "type fucker, type!" but what did that washed out hack produce on this outing?
The Mormons.
If God wasn't such a wussy he should have eaten the bullet and saved us from the tediousness that is Mormonism, but when has God ever sacrificed himself personally to save all of us?
Morrison is not so humble.
Morrison should take a page from Gods book and quit when he's ahead.
Stormwatch is written by Jim Starlin not Keith Giffen.
On the up side, Giffen's name is spelled correctly.
Well, atleast she doesn't look like Chriss Angel anymore. Now, if DC just just do a mini-reboot and erase the fact that she was a literal magical stripper, not a stage magician in the New 52 (no matter how much Johns taunts Zatanna fans in the Justice League comic) then she may have the potential to be a good character in the New 52. But, I heard she'll be joining the Justice League, and while that could potentially be good (because Johns may continue ignoring her new 52 history, presumably because he can't be bothered to read or talk to the JL Dark writer) its more likely a mistake that will be corrected.
So, you have a slightly better costume, but now she's being written by a guy who cannot write anything that doesn't have Green Lantern in the title anymore, not even characters he created (like stargirl). So, she's pretty much screwed still, but maybe a bit less screwed then she was before. But, then again, Johns is the one destroying my favorite superhero (Captain Marvel), so if he can ruin him, he can screw up Zatanna worse than the JLD writers. I can just hope he treats her like Cyborg and only uses her every 10 issues for some random task Batman has.
On a more positive note,
I just tried out three DC books that recently got new creative teams. I just read the first issue of the rebooted Stormwatch (I only read the first three or so issues before, it wasn't very good) and liked it. After hearing that #19 has the new writer just iterally wiping the last 18 issues out of existence, I decided to give it a chance. It definately has potential, plus it looks like Lobo is getting fixed after what Liefeld did to him, which makes the stormwatch reboot worth it even if it doesn't turn out well. They certainly couldn't screw Lobo up worse than Liefeld did. I also just read the first three issues of Lemire's semi-Green arrow reboot (he didn't delete anything like the SW guy did, he just pretty much destroyed the status quo and changed the direction of the series) and its interesting so far, although the art isn't great. Still, the story is interesting. I also read Action Comics #19. Now that morrison is gone, I wanted to check it out. The cover was a complete lie, and not a very clever one. Still, it was decent, and Lex Luthor seems like he may be written halfway decent, by New 52 standards, anyway. I wasn't planning to read any more DC books besides the ones I've kept reading from the beginning, but these ones seem worth checking out for awhile. They could go either way, but its nice to see a few books that atleast might have potential now besides the few I was still reading.
But, I just heard scott Lobdell is on Action Comics by issue #22. He's easily DC's worst writer, so of course he'll soon be writing both Action Comics and Superman. He already destroyed teen titans and the cast of Red hood, so I guess they decided to reward him with the Superman books. At this point, I'd rather have Liefeld come back and write Superman. Atleast then there might be some horrible art to laugh at. still, I'll read Diggle's issues, just to see what happens.
I'm watching a Kathy Griffen special right now.
Sometimes you're glad that you're too related to these women that you could never accidentally marry them.
But unfortunately Keith is only a Giffen and fair game.
Although if they did hook up, what an odd hyphenage.
Giffen-Griffen or Griffen-Giffen?
Sorry, that's who I meant. Got the two space guys mixed up. Either way it sucks.
Separate names with a comma.

Because of his dedication to area veterans, Jerry Hedrick was chosen to be the grand marshal for the annual Veterans Day Parade in Lexington on Monday.
Jerry Hedrick has devoted his life to serving his country as well as helping others who have been in the military. Because of his dedication to area veterans, Hedrick was chosen to be the grand marshal for the annual Veterans Day Parade in Lexington on Monday.
The parade, sponsored by the Davidson County Veterans Council, will begin at 4 p.m. on Main Street between Hemstead Street and Ninth Avenue. All military service organizations will be represented. The parade includes area ROTC members, floats, military vehicles, beauty queens and more. Six local marching bands will participate this year.
Hedrick said he is honored, as well as shocked, that he was chosen to be the grand marshal for this year's parade.
"It just about floored me because I didn't know anything about it," Hedrick said. "I wasn't even at the meeting because I was out of town. I didn't know they had picked me until I got back home."
Bob Leonard, commander of the Davidson County Veterans Council, said Hedrick was chosen because he has done a lot for the veterans in Davidson County.
"He is willing to help anyone do anything, and he and his wife are very active in the veteran community," Leonard said. "Plus, he's one of the nicest people I know."
Hedrick is a native of Lexington who had never traveled before he was drafted shortly after graduating from Lexington Senior High School at age of 19 into the Vietnam War.
"It was a rude awakening," Hedrick said. "I remember being on that bus going to Charlotte and being told that some of us would never make it home, and many of us didn't."
While serving in an armored cavalry regiment in the Army between 1966 and 1968, Hedrick was the commander of an M60 tank. He was discharged in 1968 and attended Rowan Technical Community College. He married his wife, Marie Bolin Hedrick, in 1973 and continued his civil servant career by working at the United States Postal Service until he retired in 2001.
Over the years, Hedrick has joined many veterans organizations including the AMVETS, the VFW, the DAV and the American Legion. During his tenure at the American Legion, Hedrick has served in several leadership positions. He was the regional post leader for 12 years and the state commander for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Legion between 1987-88. He has served on the national executive committee in Indianapolis, Ind., since 1992, where he is the senior statesman due to his lengthy involvement with the organization.
Between the times when he is traveling to attend national and state organizational meetings, Hedrick drives area veterans to the VA hospital in Salisbury and provides them with valuable resources to assist them receiving health care coverage.
"It gives me great satisfaction to know I am helping someone and giving back to my community," Hedrick said. "I like to be busy. The Lord has blessed me and my wife in many ways. Our whole lives have been devoted to helping veterans and their families."
Leonard said that the annual Veterans Day Parade is a way to honor those still living who have served the country. Lexington has held the Veterans Day Parade since 1945 when World War II veterans were returning home. Leonard said that membership in local veterans groups has declined over the years, and he hopes that the parade will encourage younger veterans to join their efforts.
"We are losing people because most of our World War II vets are in their 80s," Leonard said. "We have very few younger members who have recently served, and we would like to have their input. We are here to serve all of our veterans and those who are still in service. They might think veterans organizations are for old guys, but that's not the case anymore."
Leonard said the most important thing is for people to attend the parade and recognize the contributions of local veterans.
"I hope we have a good turnout," he said. "It is important to support our veterans and tell them that you appreciate their service."
Hedrick said he is looking forward to serving as grand marshal in the parade at least as a way to bring more recognition to veterans and their service to the community. He said that although it is not solicited, many veterans value any acknowledgement they receive from the public.
"We don't look for a thank you, but if someone does say it, it is appreciated," Hedrick said. "We have done what our country asked us to do. It makes you feel good when someone recognizes it."

OCEAN CITY – The Art League of Ocean City (ALOC) will be holding its second Ocean City Paint Out July 12 – 15.
"These plein air, painting in the out of doors, events have become quite popular," said ALOC President Rina Thaler. "This year we're suggesting that artists concentrate on the downtown area but the entire town will be open to them."
Artists will set up their easels throughout the downtown where they will have an array of subjects – seascapes, cityscapes, bayscapes, historical sites, people, etc. There will be an exhibit and sale of the Paint Out works on Sunday, July 15, on Somerset St. from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
The ALOC has worked with the Ocean City Development Corporation, overseer of the events on Somerset St., several times in the past to encourage residents and visitors into the downtown area.
The ALOC gallery is located at 502 94th St. There is a monthly exhibit with an opening First Friday of the month reception that is free and open to the public. Monetary prizes are awarded as well as a People's Choice award. Workshops in many media are offered for beginners and experienced artists. Children's classes are offered throughout the year.

Rosales to begin Minor League rehab assignment
By Joe Stiglich / Special to MLB.com
OAKLAND -- Infielder Adam Rosales, on the disabled list with a strained rib cage, began a Minor League rehab assignment with Class A Stockton on Wednesday night at San Jose.
Rosales had been doing full activity in recent days, and throwing without pain was the final hurdle for him to overcome.
"We'll get him out on a rehab assignment and see how many games that will take," A's manager Bob Melvin said before Wednesday's game. "You like to bring a guy up when he's playing well. When we get back from the road trip we'll see how he's doing."
The A's begin a six-game road trip on Friday and return for their next homestand on April 25. Injured outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has been running and throwing, but he's still not swinging a bat until his left hand feels better.
Smith's hot bat keeping him in lineup
OAKLAND -- Seth Smith appeared to face a challenge for playing time to start the season, based on the crowded numbers in the A's outfield.
He's helping his case so far by swinging one of the hottest bats on the team.
Smith went 3-for-5 with a run on Wednesday's matinee against Houston, and is hitting .447 with seven RBIs in 12 games. His run-scoring single in the fifth inning Tuesday night gave the A's a lead in a game they eventually won 4-3.
Significantly, the left-handed-hitting Smith is raking against lefty pitching. He was 6-for-9 against southpaws entering Wednesday, and that caught the attention of A's manager Bob Melvin.
"You look at his average against lefties and he's been very productive," Melvin said. "That's where he was going to be limited, was his at-bats against left-handers. But with [left fielder] Yoenis [Cespedes] out, and the fact he's swinging well against lefties, I'm leaving him in there and he's been productive."
The offseason addition of Chris Young, obtained in a trade from Arizona, seemed it might take at-bats away from Smith. The A's entered the season with a starting outfield of Cespedes, center fielder Coco Crisp and right fielder Josh Reddick, leaving Smith and Young to potentially compete for at-bats as the designated hitter and extra outfielder.
With Cespedes on the disabled list with a strained left hand, an opportunity has opened for Smith and he's taking advantage. But he said he didn't come into the season stressing over the numbers game in the outfield. He knows Melvin finds a way to utilize players who are producing.
"I've done it in the past, when you try to do something big and you think if you don't get a big hit, you're not going to get to play the next day," Smith said. "It's different here. There's no reason to press."
Norris leaves game with jaw injury, X-rays negative
OAKLAND -- A's catcher Derek Norris left Wednesday's game after being hit in the jaw with a foul tip in the seventh inning. X-rays were negative, but Norris was talking carefully after the game so as not to move his jaw too much.
He was asked if he felt he'd be available for Friday's road trip opener at Tampa Bay.
"Nothing's broken," he said. "I'll be ready."
Peterson collects first Major League hit
OAKLAND -- Shane Peterson, who was called up Tuesday from Triple-A Sacramento for his Major League debut, drew a second straight start at first base Wednesday. He recorded his first hit, a single to center in the fourth, along with his first RBI and run. Peterson is likely headed back to the minors, as regular first baseman Brandon Moss is expected to come off paternity leave and rejoin the team Friday against Tampa Bay.
"He made a very good impression," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Peterson. "This kid, he's ready to play in the big leagues. It's just not his time right at this minute."
Worth noting
• First baseman Brandon Moss remains on the paternity list, so rookie Shane Peterson drew his second straight start at first Wednesday.
• The Cal women's basketball team, which made the program's first trip to the Final Four this season, was honored before the game, with guard Layshia Clarendon throwing out the first pitch.

A construction boss in Boston was interviewing men when along
came a guy named Vinny from New York. I'm not hiring any wise-ass
New Yorker, the foreman thought, so he made up a test hoping that
Vinny wouldn't be able to answer the questions, and he'd be able
to refuse him the job without getting into a dispute.
"Here's your first question," the foreman said.
"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Widout numbiz?" Vinny says.
"Dat's easy," and he proceeds to draw 3 trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
The New Yorker replies, "Ain't you got no brains?
Tree 'n Tree 'n Tree makes nine. Faghedaboutit......"
"Fair enough," says the Boss. "Here's your second question.
Use the same rules, but this time use the number 99."
Vinny stares into space for a minute, then picks up the picture
he has drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Dare ya go, Buddy."
The Boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get
that to represent 99?"
Vinny says "Each a da trees is dirty now! So it's dirty tree
n dirty tree' n dirty tree - dat's 99".
The Boss is getting worried he's going to have to hire the New Yorker,
so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules but this time use
Vinny stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture once again,
makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Dare ya go,
Mac, a hunnert."
The Boss looks at the picture for a moment and says, "You must be nuts
if you think that represents 100!"
New York Vinny leans forward and points to the marks at the base of the
trees. "A little doggie comes along and takes a shit on each a dem trees,
so now ya got dirty tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a turd,
dirty tree an' a turd - which makes one hundred. Bada boom!!"

The not so dumb blonde:
There once was a sneaky lawyer who was sitting next to a blond woman in an airport terminal. The lawyer was getting bored so he decided to amuse himself by taking money from the blond. So he went up to her and said "Let's play a game. I'll ask you a question and if you get it wrong you give me five dollars. Then you ask me a question and if I get it wrong I'll give you 500 dollars, OK?" The blond was reluctant to play but after coercing her, the lawyer got to play.
He asked this question: "What's in the middle of nowhere?" The blond pondered for a little while, opened her pocket book, and took out five dollars, which she gave to the man. With joy the lawyer said "Ok, your turn"
The blond replies with this:
A) I am white's first move in the game of kings I have how many choices?
B) Number of ways of winnings 0s and Xs
C) "As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, every cat had seven kitts. Kitts, cats, sacks, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?"
D) How many rings not owned by elves?
U = The answer
Please use BODMAS, also spell your answer, for example 2 would become two. And lastly good luck!
The lawyer was dumbfounded, he tried every resource at his fingertips by using his laptop, he called of his friends at the firm, and tried whatever he could, but could not get the answer. He was forced to give the blond the money. As he did so he said "Hey lady, what was the answer?"
The blond pondered for a little while, opened her pocket book, and took out five dollars...

Oldies but Goodies
First year students at Med School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body." For example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention."
A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her
five-year-old son playing with his new electric train in
the living room. She heard the train stop & her son saying,
"All of you bastards who want off, get the hell off now, 'cause
this is the last stop! And all of you bastards who are getting on,
get your ass in the train, Cause we're going down the tracks."
The horrified mother went in & told her son, "We don't use that
kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your
room & stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you
may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language."
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom & resumed
playing with his train. Soon the train stopped & the mother heard
her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train,
please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank
you for travelling with us today & hope your trip was a pleasant one."
She hears the little boy continue, "For those of you just boarding,
we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat.
Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have
a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."
As the mother began to smile, the child added,
"For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay,
please direct your complaints to the fat bitch in the kitchen."

"If it goes to trial"? Our ultra-lazy D.A's better not plea bargain this lowlife's time down. I'll have to climb on my left-wing soapbox here and shout it out: if Mr. Smith had been a poor dark skinned fellow from an area a bit more eastward, he would a) have already been charged, and b) would have been sitting in a cell for the last nine months.

Derek, I believe Mr. Smith is a dark skinned fellow, just one from San Ramon (and an attorney). Your point, however, is well taken. He is, no doubt, connected. "Professional courtesy"- there's a shark joke here somewhere.

I don't care what color the driver of the Mercedes is. More importantly, he hit and ran. That in and of itself shows someone who flaunts the law and was trying not to get caught. Also, he is an attorney and is represented by one of the best criminal attorneys in the area. If you know the system and can pay for good counsel, you may get a lesser sentence. This is what it sounds like. Point in fact: he should be held to a higher standard since he knows the law.

I agree with Louise completley! Why does "color" play into this or anything else for that matter?! I'm so sick of "race" playing into everything. The color of one's skin should have no bearing on anything! However, a person of color should not be allowed to escape their crime because they are "of color"! Also one should not be elected president because he is "of color" but we know many people voted for our current president because of his color!

CW, for a person who is "sick of 'race' playing into everything" you seem pretty fixated on it yourself. Accusing others of voting for a person because of his race is pretty offensive, if you weren't aware of that. A can assure you that everyone I know who voted for the Democratic candidate for President in the election would have done so regardless of the skin color of either candidate. I don't know who the "we" are supposed to be who "know" otherwise, but you're dead wrong.
Your accusation to the contrary just exposes your own obsession with race.

So, THIS is where the Republican talking points about their difficulties being more about 'messaging' than 'message' have ended-up? That Mr. Obama won BECAUSE he's black??
That's really rich. Has anybody run that one through the HoHo Test, yet? Because I'm sitting here just giggling like a schoolchild... Let's see, what else: the civil war was fought to wrest control of the Confederacy's shacks and cotton fields away from those greedy slaves? Medgar Evers shot himself five times in his driveway?
Once you trade-in your Reality Card, why, the possibilities are endless!

My theory is that he hit and ran because he was drunk. Then he went home, sobered up, and called his lawyer. He did it to avoid a felony DUI. Instead he's being charged with a misdemeanor. Smart, when you think about it. Pretty despicable, though.

while each is supposed to have his day in court and that they are innocent..., why cant the public is they believe the facts as provided, do its own impeachment and not provide any clients to people like this.
Band together in an unspoken manner to not refer, provide, seek, any legal contact with is person and soon that person has to make added and probably lethal decisions and move on else to practice law which drunk.
What's your view?

Good job in trying to make this a story about race (as well as money), without knowing the race of the accused. If you were assuming in your mind that an attorney would be white, then perhaps that says more about your own stereotypical views.
Back to the original story, I'd be interested to know what the typical time interval is for scheduling court proceedings in similar hit-and-run cases that resulted in a death. I'd like to think that this guy isn't receiving special treatment just by virtue of being an attorney, or for some other reason. But it does seem like it's taking a long time.

From Holly Mackenzie's blog:
Noah is a player thats fueled by his energy, similarly to yourself. Whats it like when youve got two of those kinds of players facing each other?: Were kinda like the same player, it just comes down to who outplays each other. I wanna be that one that outplays him. Hes a good player and he plays hard too, Ive got respect for him, but Imma play harder.
So knee, ankle, doesnt matter that youre banged up?: Doesnt matter, imma play out there harder. Imma be the first one running down the court, first run to the basket, Imma play hard.How do you approach the game tomorrow?: Youve got to approach it like a playoff game. Both teams are hungry to get into the playoffs, weve really got to bring it. I know its going to be a fight. Weve got homecourt so weve really got to use that to our advantage.http://blogs.thescore.com/nba/2010/0...ril-10th-2010/Do you feel pressure, though, knowing the team needs everyone stepping up with the injuries?: It isnt when you know youre going to come out and play hard everyday and give it all youve got. Its really no pressure to me. Imma just go out and play hard. Im happy with whatever comes to me. Whatever comes. Like I said, Im going to play hard, whatever minutes I get.
This is why Amir, other than CB has become my fave Raptor. It's gonna be an awesome game! We're pullin out the win!
