Only help if you can be helpfulHey All, A topic has come up of late in the IRC channel in regards to the general feel of the forums and the community that supports them. Things have progressed further than I would have liked with out this being addressed more publicly because I would much rather have snubbed this out sooner rather than later.. but I have been busy. Here is the general rule I would like people to follow: Wheaton's Law "Don't be a dick." Those of you from the IRC channel know that this is the only rule I ask people in there to follow and we generally have a good and lively time chatting about all manner of things. This is basic rule that just about everyone understands and I am going to expand it to the forums from here moving forward. If you can not help people in a helpful and polite manner then I simply ask you to stop. Now I generally take a back seat to moderating the forums as I like to participate in the suggestions forum fairly heavily at times and would rather do so as a forums user than a moderator. But I am also fairly well known for being the person who constantly puts their foot down and so I am stepping up and doing so on here. If you find yourself unable to respond to a message politely then I ask that you do not respond. This mostly focuses on the increasing level of hostility found within the Suggestion forum as well as the Server forum. I do not care if this is the 30th some odd time you have seen someone make the same suggestion. Or even if the new post on an older topic is one entry above the old one. I expect the members of this forum to respond politely to the user, new or old, and point to the older topic if it applies and even go the extra step to suggest they either add in new information or to summarize the outcome of the previous discussion based upon the new post's entry into it. That is what we are here for, that is why I close most topics instead of deleting them, so that they can be found and referenced down the road. The next topic is the slew of derailment attempts I have seen as of late. If you want to have fun and joke around that is what the off topic forum is for and pretty much anything goes there. I do not expect to read a suggestion thread and have to go through 3 pages of image memes people have shot back and forth. Quite simply this is a waste of my time to read and then have to clean up. Now for the summary. I am going to start taking a more active role, especially in policing the suggestion forum, and handing out warn levels to people whom I see doing this. These will be indiscriminate and applied not to just the first person who derails or is impolite on a topic or response, but to everyone whom follows the lead of that person. As I do not like doing things with out giving you all warning this post shall serve as that warning. If you have a desire to bring this topic up with me then I invite you to do so on the IRC channel. Lets raise the level of quality and grow the community. Let us not descend into the quality often found on the minecraft or league of legend forums. There is simply no need for that here. Be passionate about things, just do not be abusive.
Offline ServersRecently I've seen a few server listings showing up on the first page of the Servers forum that have been closed for an extended period of time, but have recently gotten a reply from a new member who didn't realize the server is offline. To help prevent this from happening in the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the report function on the original post of any servers that have been confirmed as offline, so that the topic may be locked. If you are the admin of a server and plan on taking the server offline, please use the report function on the original post of your topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be locked. If you are the admin of a server that has a locked topic, and would wish to bring the server back online, please use the report function on the original post of the topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be unlocked. As always, please remember to follow rule #3 of the servers forum and update your topic title to contain the version of TFC that the server is currently running. You can do so by editing the OP, and then clicking on "Use Full Editor."

Cast Bronze Armor
Mileaos2 replied to buzzy613's topic in Suggestionswell, then i suggest to change copper and bronze plates, so you have to cast them (like the weapons they only need 100 units of metal)
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionswoops, my bad, sorry about that
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionswhy more grind? okay, you need charcoal instead of wood. its a bit more work, but isnt that big problem. and the extra oven, but like i said the shaft oven shouldnt need any metal, only cobblestone and some clay, not that hard to get your hands on.
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionsi reworked the initial post and added iron related stuff. and to adress tedium: the shaft oven should increase the metal output, because it can smelt more stuff at the same time and the metal pieces make it easyer to create alloys. and to the iron change: so you cant loose your blooms by accident anymore (or any iron by that matter) because the forge wont get hot enough to smelt them anyways.
Torch Poll
Mileaos2 replied to Kittychanley's topic in Discussioni like the change =) and when we get canldes and laterns, iam even more happy =) (those with burnout aswell ofc^^ )
Mileaos2 started following TonyLiberatto

improve peat as fuel
Mileaos2 posted a topic in SuggestionsPeat is used since centurys until today as fuel (startet with cooking, over iron production up until now for energy) my suggestion is: only mineable with shovel the mined peat has to be dryed then, just rightclick it on the ground. it shouldnt appear as "peatblock" anymore, more in "brickform" both forms should be placeable like metal ingots after a few hours you can use it in a campfire (should be quite hot, afaik it has an similar calorific value like browncoal) but to refine it more, you could place it in a charcoal pit like wood and generate peat-charcoal (same uses like normal one, but less efficient)
Barrel Tiers
Mileaos2 posted a topic in Suggestionsan post in my barrel preservation topic pointed out, it isnt really nessesary for barrels to need metalrings to craft them. so i developed the idea for barrel tiers. here is the specific suggestion, i removed the barrel-need-metal part http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/5679-barrels-for-conservation-and-storing-stuff/ they shouldnt have slots like ceramic vessels, dont get my wrong! they keep how there working, but get different sizes and capacities (and looks ofc) the numbers are not perfect, i know normal barrels just out of planks should have the sice of ceramic vessels and can hold up to 5 stacks of 1 item. (for preservation, storage purposes or the actual uses for barrels) those small barrels could be placeable like ceramic vessels. the next tier need 2 bronze rings (each oneis crafted out of a (double?-) ignot on the anvil) the bigger barrel is more like the actual barrel, but a bit shorter in size it can hold, lets say 20 stacks of1 item. last tier is out of iron or steel, needs 2 rings size is like the actual barrel it can hold up to 25 or more stacks of 1 item
Barrels for Conservation and storing stuff
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionswell, the vessel should be less good in preserving food with sealed foods than barrels and i guess it easier when they use the same decay mechanik than everything else and the basic idea to give each food type they own preservative material is, to give those materials more uses ofc it isnt nessersary, but then all those preservatives should be usable.
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionsstuff i find shittons of every world i load: native copper and native gold, bismuth, iron ores
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionswell, black bronze needs gold and silver and in most worlds i have a shitton of gold, but no silver, so no black bronze XD and cass is no native ore, so you have to use the shaft oven + copper anvil from my suggestion by the way, the shaft oven could be used to smelt bigger amounts of ores, than the pit kiln. cassiterite is an oxide sphalerite is an sulfid, but roasting it provides zincoxide, and you cant smelt zincoxide, because it evaporates before smelting. (@ 1200°C) and without cass or sphalerite, the best bronze alloy materials are out of the way
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 replied to Mileaos2's topic in Suggestionswell, the biggest point of my suggestion was to delay your first bronze tools cause iam unhappy with not using copper tools, because i normally skip copper age completly
Stone tools durability
Mileaos2 replied to Mac4s's topic in Suggestionsits allready an feature afaik
An Aesthetic Use for Gems
Mileaos2 replied to Pathfinder's topic in Suggestionsill suggested something like that a while ago XD in addition to placeable small glass blocks with different colors. but i still love the idea and would be happy, if it get implemented
Metallurgy rework (former no ore reduction in crucible/ pit kiln)
Mileaos2 posted a topic in Suggestionsmrs. €dit says: changes to older post: Pre-Iron shaftoven metal cakes can be smashed with an hammer (without anvil) and some other things iron changes, at the second part Why my suggestions? the first part: delaying bronze tools a bit, cuz most of the time everyone just skips copper tools. and with the metal pieces are alloys easy to combine second part: its just for believability, the material costs should be the same. and it should be less difficult to create steel with the metal pieces. first part: pre iron most ores have to be reduced, to become native metals, but that need charcoal. my suggestion is, to take avay the feature of smelting ores from the crucible enterely! (native ores would work, but they bring in lot impurities...) and the pit kiln should only be able to smelt native ores! so my suggestion is an shaft oven a new furnance between the bloomery and the pit kiln. the shaft oven should only need simple materials to build (no metal) maybe any cobblestone and some clay to prevent falling cobblestone. the shaft oven needs charcoal and can smelt/reduce all types of non iron ores. but only 1 metal type at the same time, so the crucible would be an excellent device to mix alloys and before that the pit kiln. the shaft oven produces an "metal cake", simmilar to the iron bloom from the bloomery then "mine" the cake with an hammer (any hammer will do) and you gain metal pieces (each 1/10 of an ignot) those metal pieces should stack up to 32 or even 64, with those it should be quite easy to mix your alloys. summary: only native ores in the pit kiln no ore "smelting" in the crucible shaft oven for reducing non native ores (can handle native ones aswell) second part: iron changes. smelting iron is very difficult. only the blast furnance is capable to produce liquid iron. i suggest the forge (and crucible ofc) isnt able to smelt iron at all. in order to gain iron ignots from the refined bloom is just continue hammering it on the anvil until its an ignot. to gain iron pieces place the refined bloom on the anvil and split it again, to gain the 1/10 ignot pieces. (should be doable with any ignots aswell) with those you can mix them with pieces from other metals and flux to create steel ignots. (steel production is an rather complicated thing befor the industrial revolution)
Active Forges and Bloomeries should smoke
Mileaos2 replied to TyronX's topic in Suggestionsjeah, wouldlove it =)

The Magic Bullet That Microsoft Corporation Would Rather Not Fire
Microsoft is about to become an Android phone designer. By way of soon-to-be-aquired handset specialist Nokia, The Wall Street Journalsays that Microsoft will have a low-end Android phone to sell by the time the Nokia deal closes.
Citing its usual anonymous sources, the Journal explains that Nokia had been working on an Android phone before Microsoft stopped by with a $7.4 billion buyout check. Scheduled for unveiling at the Mobile World Congress conference in two weeks, this phone would fill a void in Nokia's product portfolio, where Microsoft's Windows phones just don't play. Google designed Android to run on lower-end hardware, where Windows Phone refuses to work at all.
This report also jibes with advice from The Guardian's Charles Arthur, who says that Nokia and Microsoft should create their own version of Android in order to explore the untapped low-cost market in high-volume geographies like India and China.
Now, Google has made it hard for outsiders to fork their personal take on the Android platform. Do that, and you lose access to some of the most important pieces of the Android ecosystem, like the Google Play app store or built-in apps to take advantage of Gmail and other Google-backed services.
But that hasn't stopped third parties from going this route. BlackBerry built Android compatibility into its BlackBerry 10 software; it's easy for developers to port Android apps over to BlackBerry, and BlackBerry 10 can even run some unmodified Android apps in a compatibility layer.
Then there's Amazon.com , which broke away from the standard Android platform to power its Kindle series of e-readers. Amazon provides its own app store, and the missing Google apps often have their place taken by third-party alternatives or Amazon's own apps.
So sure, Nokia and Microsoft could give it a try. The two companies certainly have the resources to build their own core apps, redirecting Nokia Android users to Microsoft's Bing ecosystem whenever possible.
Worth a try?
Will cost-conscious consumers buy these handsets? Is it worth the effort?
Maybe so. Nokia built a massive brand in emerging markets, back when the world cared about feature phones. This brand awareness, coupled with the proven Android platform in a cost-effective product, could be the silver bullet that Microsoft never could build on its own.
Moreover, Nokia is well known for its high-quality phone cameras, including a contract to offer Carl Zeiss' high-quality lens systems. Other companies put Zeiss lenses in stand-alone cameras, but only Nokia can offer this feature in smartphones. Admittedly, this is more of a mid-market or upscale selling point, but a nice camera never hurt anybody.
Microsoft's hard-to-swallow payoff
So yeah, if Nokia goes through with this idea and creates its own spin on Android, the brand might actually gain traction in high-growth developing markets. That'll be a bitter pill for Microsoft to swallow, since it would essentially prove that Redmond's mobile platform can't compete on its own merits. But at the very least, Microsoft would get some sustainable revenue out of its $7.4 billion Nokia buyout.

The only solution to the Kashmir issue is to create a situation where the "lines, while in existence," between India and Pakistan become "irrelevant", Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said.
In a two-page interview published in the Daily Times on Sunday, he said if former military ruler Pervez Musharraf had not got into a "scrap" with Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry in 2007, there was "every possibility" the countries would have moved forward on the dispute.
"…if you were to create a situation wherein the lines while in existence but irrelevant, I think that is the only situation. Wherein if you start from Kashmir and then you widen it, we have this grand vision of a South Asian Free Trade Area which essentially would mirror what you have in the EU," Omar said. "But I believe that is the only way forward. The moment we get into territorial give-and-take we will get nowhere. We have not so far. The problem of Jammu and Kashmir has plagued our relations since 1947, and it will continue to plague our relations," he said.
The interview was done by Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar in New Delhi last month. Tarar has been at the centre of a controversy over an alleged affair with Union minister Shashi Tharoor.
Omar said there were opportunities in the four-point formula proposed by Musharraf to resolve the Kashmir issue, including demilitarisation and softening of borders.
"Because for the first time he (Musharraf) stepped away from stated positions. I think what happens is that India and Pakistan relations are hostage to stated positions…The stated position is that both sides have to vacate the occupied part," he said.
"Now that is clearly not going to go anywhere. He (Musharraf) moved it from there; he said, look, leave that aside, we can have, sort of, no territorial give-and-take. The Line of Control can be irrelevant. You can have demilitarisation on both sides. You can have some sort of mechanism…," Omar said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said on January 4 that the two sides were close to an "important breakthrough" on the Kashmir issue during Musharraf's regime.
Asked what in his view was the outline for a feasible settlement of the Kashmir issue, Omar said, "Look, stated positions will not get us anywhere, so leave that aside."

Availability: In stock

Kaye suspension harness for suspension walkers is made of material that has a high compression element so that the body vest fits snuggly around the client and fastens with buckles. Kaye suspension harnesses were designed and made to comfortably hold clients when they are suspended in the Kaye Suspension Walkers.
Kaye Suspension harnesses come in two distinct styles depending on the size and weight of the user.
Models 9820-Small and 9821-Medium Slim, have three components: a body vest, 4 compression straps and four strap pads. These harnesses fit between the legs like pants and buckle up each side. Because of the construction of these harnesses, they are most comfortable for children under 60 lbs.Models 9822-Medium and 9824-Large, have four components: a body vest, 4 compression straps, four strap pads, and two thigh cuffs. They depend on the compression of the vest and the thigh straps to hold the vest in place. These vests buckle up the front and back. Because they do not have any component between the legs, they are comfortable for older, heavier clients, and can hold up to 200 lbs. The four compression straps can be added to aid alignment and have been found useful in many ways, to align the trunk, head and hips. The strap pads are added once the client is suspended to protect the head from the hardware on the suspension system.
It is recommended that the user should put on the vest in supine or standing position since an optimally fitted harness depends on the hips being in extension and the vest fitted low around the pelvis. In addition, the lower buckles, around the pelvis, must be pulled tight to keep the vest in place when the client is suspended.
The riding up problem usually occurs with patients whose pelvis is tilted forward, have hip flexion contracture, or who have larger derrieres. To reduce or eliminate the riding up problem, the following steps should be taken:

California Bill to Expand Eligibility for Year of Manufacture License Plates Approved by Assembly; Moves to Governor
DON'T DELAY! Please request support for S.B. 1429 immediately from Governor Jerry Brown by emailing now:
You may use the following points in your message:
S.B. 1429 expands the authorization of year-of-manufacture license plates to include owners of 1980 or older model-year vehicles.
The state may consult with an organization of old car hobbyists in determining whether the date of year of the license plate corresponds to the model-year date when the vehicle was manufactured.
- A fee of $45 is charged for the application for the use of the special plates.
Overview: Legislation (S.B. 1429) to expand the authorization of year-of-manufacture license plates to include owners of 1980 or older model-year vehicles was approved by the California Assembly. The bill has already been approved by the California Senate and will now be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law. Current law only authorizes owners of vehicles that are of a 1969 or older model-year or owners of a commercial vehicle or pickup truck that is a 1972 or older to utilize California year-of-manufacture license plates. These plates must be legible and serviceable.

To distribute your apps, make sure you set up tax and banking information in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking module. And before you submit apps for review, you will need to provide metadata, pricing, keywords, icons, screenshots, and other information.
Outside the Mac App Store
The Mac App Store is the safest place for users to get software for their Mac, but we also want to protect users when they download applications from other places. If you distribute outside the Mac App Store, give users the confidence that they can safely install and run your application. To get your application ready, be sure to:
Sandbox Your Application Recommended
Enable sandboxing to help protect user data if malicious code exploits your application. Sandboxing allows your application to access what it needs, while limiting access to other system resources and user data. Though sandboxing is not required for applications that are distributed outside the Mac App Store, we recommend sandboxing for increased stability and security. Learn more about sandboxing and how to sandbox your application.
Integrate App Capabilities
When you distribute apps signed with your Developer ID, you can integrate advanced capabilities such as CloudKit and push notifications into your app. CloudKit keep your apps connected and up-to-date across iOS, macOS, and the web with CloudKit JS. Push notifications are great for keeping users informed with timely and relevant content.
Sign Applications and Installer Packages for Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper is a security feature in macOS that gives users control over which applications can be installed on their Mac. Using the Developer ID code signing certificate, Gatekeeper verifies the identity and integrity of applications that users download. Learn more about signing your applications and installer packages with Developer ID.
Features and Requirements
New apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit starting January 2018, and Mac app updates and existing apps must support 64-bit starting June 2018. If you distribute your apps outside the Mac App Store, we highly recommend distributing 64-bit binaries to make sure your users can continue to run your apps on future versions of macOS. macOS High Sierra will be the last macOS release to support 32-bit apps without compromise. For more information, read the 64-Bit Transition Guide.

In this investigation, students use "point-source" light, light meters, and graphing software to quantify the reduction in light over distance. Through careful measurement of light received at several distances, students discover the best fit of the... (View More) data is the inverse square rule. Using this rule, students then calculate the distance between the light source and the light meter at random placements. Finally, students extend this principle to model the manner in which distances to Cepheid variable stars are measured. The distance between the Cepheid (here the light source) and the Earth (the light meter) can be determined by comparing the output of the source to the amount of light received. An historic scientific breakthrough occurred when the period-luminosity relationship of Cepheids was quantified throughout the early 1900s.

Lisa A. Polansky has been licensed to practice law since 1990 and is committed to providing quality legal representation in both state and federal courts in Colorado. Ms. Polansky has taught trial skills at the University of Colorado, School of Law and has also trained lawyers for NITA (National Institute for Trial Advocacy), as an International Legal Fellow in Nepal, as a Supervisor in the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office and in a variety of programs on juvenile law, sentencing policy and on pretrial and trial advocacy skills.
Our firm is dedicated to protect our clients' rights and defend them as they face the most serious charges and accusations. As a former Deputy Public Defender and private practitioner, Ms. Polansky is comfortable in the courtroom and willing to take cases to trial if the government wishes to proceed and not dismiss or reach a reasonable disposition of the case. Ms. Polansky has been successful in negotiating that there be no charges filed when the client retained our firm upon first contact with law enforcement.
The firm handles juvenile and adult criminal defense matters in federal court and state court throughout Colorado. Please feel free contact us should you find yourself under investigation or have a pending case or if you would like to appeal a conviction or petition the court regarding a conviction or sentence. While we make no guarantees, Ms. Polansky has had great success in these types of cases, even when all seemed lost and the sentence was life without possibility of parole.
Lisa Polansky as lead counsel for young man wrongfully convicted at age 15
released after 14 years in prison on a sentence of life imprisonment.
Denver, Colo. – Lorenzo Montoya was released from prison June 16, 2014 after reaching a plea deal days before a scheduled hearing that would have revealed significant Constitutional flaws in his conviction and new evidence casting serious doubt on his guilt. In January 2000, then fourteen-year-old Montoya was one of three Denver teens arrested and charged for alleged involvement in the brutal murder of a north Denver schoolteacher. Mr. Montoya, later convicted of felony murder and other charges, was sentenced to mandatory life without parole.
Mr. Montoya, now represented by lawyers from the Colorado non-profit Center for Juvenile Justice, a team of court appointed counsel, and a team of pro bono lawyers and paralegals from the law firm Cooley LLP, filed a petition in June 2013 in Denver District Court challenging his convictions. The challenge was based on egregious Constitutional violations, including ineffective assistance of counsel and incompetence to stand trial, and new evidence, including DNA.
Montoya's new counsel, Lisa A. Polansky, Elizabeth Espinosa Krupa, and Peter J. Sauer, also succeeded in obtaining new DNA testing that produced powerful evidence of Mr. Montoya's innocence. Additional new evidence included Montoya's co-defendant, Nick Martinez, telling defense investigator, Gina Brovege, that Mr. Montoya had nothing to do with the brutal crime. In lieu of a hearing on Mr. Montoya's claims or a new trial, the Denver District Attorney offered to dismiss all of the charges against Mr. Montoya and release him immediately in exchange for a guilty plea to accessory after the fact. The factual basis for this plea is that Mr. Montoya rode in a car stolen from the victim and did not reveal what he heard about the murder. After 14 years behind bars, including many in solitary confinement, Mr. Montoya pled guilty and was given a time-served sentence.
Polansky said his lawyers and the system failed him back in 2000: "He believed without a doubt in his mind that he would be freed because he was innocent."
"Change needs to happen so this doesn't happen again," Montoya said.

Concrete curing times can vary depending on environmental factors, such as moisture and temperature. However, properly cured concrete should reach 100% strength in approximately 28 days if the concrete is poured correctly and the curing compound is applied in a timely fashion.Continue Reading
The curing process is designed to protect the surface of the concrete and seal in the moisture to allow the concrete to dry slowly and uniformly. It is important to apply the curing compound immediately after pouring before heat or wind speeds up the drying process. If concrete dries too quickly, it may crack unpredictably or become weaker than it would have been if properly cured. Proper curing purposely causes the concrete to crack along the joints instead of randomly throughout the slab.Learn more about Home Maintenance

I've always secretly envied those chic women who don't check bags. While I'm trudging through the airport, dragging luggage that's bursting at the seams, these low-maintenance ladies breezily float past me, clutching the cutest carryons.
I always find myself marveling at how they manage to fit all of their beauty essentials in such a small bag. And with the current TSA regulations, where are they finding all of their personal care products in three-ounce-or-less sizes?
Well, I think I've found the answer to this conundrum – and hit the motherload at the same time. Grab a pen, ladies, and take copious notes. Minimus.biz is the secret to packing light. They offer several hundred travel-size items in stock. Their inventory list continues to grow, with the help of customers' input – and their products are out of this world (some have even gone up to the International Space Station)!
Spoiled Pretty Tip: Minimus has a blog where they post about their products, coupon codes, and stories/photos submitted from customers.
1 Comment on You Are Now Cleared For Boarding
That sounds too familiar! 2 weeks ago, I tried to take a carry on instead of checking my little suitcase. And after I arrived at my destination, I couldnt feel my right shoulder because I had to drag and lift my 9 kg (19 lbs) carry on suitcase. So on the way back I just checked it. Thanks for the link, its great. Sephora.com also has travel size products. What I did was I bought little empty containers for lotions/ lens solution/ perfume and used those.

- Left Forum 2014: Reform and/or Revolution: Imagining a World with Transformative Justice (May 30-June 1, 2014, NYC):
"Pressing questions loom for justice-seeking social forces: What is to be done today when a reform brings us one step forward, while leaving other important struggles worse off in the process? What type of movements will it take to overcome such challenges? What type of institutions, systems and societal conditions are possible when transformed conditions of justice no longer take the forms of, 'the aggrieved speaking to the grievance alleviators'? How do these issues raise the question of the relation of reform to revolution? More than ever, people know that a new and different world is urgently needed. How do we get there from here: reforms, revolution, or strategic combinations of both?"

"Previous meetings focused on the theory; this one is about concrete options. How do campaigns work? Should we learn by working on Howie Hawkins' campaign for governor? Should we run open socialists? Now, in a few years, or when? What opportunities to run exist between 2014 and 2018? Will running candidates interfere with important movement work? How do we approach nationwide formations? This event is an open discussion and organizing meeting, so it will involve "audience" participation more than typical events. Bring your thoughts, listen to others, and focus on the nuts-and-bolts of what we will actually do."
- A New York that works for all of us Rally in Albany, NY, March 20, 2014 (via Edge Left):
"We stand for a NY that works for all of us but today, Albany works for the super-rich and powerful corporations. If it favors the wealthy and CEO campaign contributors, it's sure to pass in Albany. On the other hand, common sense legislation the majority of New Yorkers believe in, is stalled by politics. It doesn't have to be this way. We can do better. On March 20th we are going to hold our elected officials in Albany responsible for putting people ahead of campaign contributors. We demand that our basic democratic rights be respected."
Things to read:
- Edward Snowden's Testimony to the European Parliament on NSA Spying and its Consequences:
Snowden's testimony is vitally important for every citizen in every country to understand, yet it has barely been covered by the commercial or (non-commercial) global media. At stake is the possibility of individuals and organizations (not just the media) to function as checks on executive power. It also demonstrates the ability of a secret agency to become an executive power, able even to control the spy services of foreign countries.
- Heroic Imagination Project:
"Headquartered in San Francisco, California, The Heroic Imagination Project was founded by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University. At HIP, we translate the extensive research findings of social psychology and related fields into meaningful insights and tools that individuals can use in their everyday lives to transform negative situations and create positive change. Dr. Zimbardo's work has studied the psychological foundations of negative forms of social influence (such as conformity, obedience, and the bystander effect) and is now refocused on understanding the nature of everyday heroism and they psychology of personal and social growth."

TextWho exactly are these Gnostics and what was their "influence"? They were pretty much done away with in the Forth Century. This is just a fantasy to make it seem like parts were removed, instead of what probably really happened, which was that parts were later added.
. . . there are Gnostic churches in America today.

Jesus never once makes himself equal with God...
Paul made Jesus equal with God, and John made the statement in narration....read john 5
Jesus did not... ever
He knew better...

In regards to the resurrection according to the Quran, It says in the Qumran that Jesus was not crucified and that another person was put in his place and made to look like Jesus. Therefore, Jesus was not crucified and resurrected but he ascended to heaven unharmed. Jesus was not a Christ; he was a Muslim prophet just like Mohammed Do Muslims really believe the Qumran to be true in this aspect?
In the Holy Qur'an, not Qumran it is indeed stated that Jesus was not crucified. Also Jesus ascended to heaven unharmed. The fact that he did not die in the cross as people believed does not mean that Jesus is not a Messiah, or annointed one of God, but it does prove that Jesus is a Messiah. God has promised in the Torah, Psalms, Gospel of Jesus and in the Holy Qur'an that He will save His Messengers and those who followed them and God always keep His promise.
Allah saved Jesus from the Israelites who disbelieved in the message with which he has been sent, and crucified in his stead the one who betrayed him, his disciple Judas Iscariot, the whole account of the story is written and preserved in the writings of one of Jesus' disciples, but which account is discounted by the Christians because it contradicts the bible and agrees with the Holy Qur'an account of the life of Jesus.
As for Jesus being a Muslim Prophet like the Prophet Muhammad, that is true. Since God told us in the Holy Qur'an that He sent down only ONE religion ( Submitting to the will of God= Islam in Arabic)
21:92 Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.
23:52 And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, so keep your duty unto Me.
16:123 And afterward We inspired thee Muhammad, saying: Follow the religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the idolaters.
Jesus himself clearly states that he is a Muslim in his teachings and his brothers are the Muslims.
Mark 3: 31 And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." 33 And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34 And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Here Jesus is saying that his mother and brothers and sisters are the Muslims. The religion that Jesus established is the religion that Abraham followed, Submission to the will of God, Islam in Arabic.. just as revealed by Allah in the Qur'an
saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." Luke 22:42
A Muslim is one who surrenders his will to God. Judge for yourself if Jesus is indeed a Muslim, because he is not a Christian.
22:78 And strive for Allah with the endeavor which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting Friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper!
42:13 He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: establish the religion, and be not divided therein. Dreadful for the idolaters is that unto which thou callest them. Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will, and guideth unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him).
establish the religion, and be not divided therein only ONE religion , from the Prophet Noah to the Prophet Muhammad.
Is Jesus not a Prophet from God? Is he not Muslim and is not Islam the religion from the time of Noah?
" If Jesus and Moses are alive today, they will be my followers." The Prophet Muhammad. Peace and blessings be upon all the messengers of Allah!
TextWhat I was saying is that the religion that Abraham followed is the same one that Jesus established. All prophets followed this religion, which is the surrender to God's will, whatever it was called in those times but in the Holy Qur'an which was originally revealed in Arabic, it is called Islam.

TextYou also said that the difference between the teachings of Islam and Christianity is that the Prophet Muhammad is born of flesh and blood but Jesus' followers believe that he (Jesus) is born of the Holy Ghost.

The Authentic Japanese System of Reiki
Reiki is a system of healing developed by Usui Mikao, (Usui Sensei)
Although today variations of Reiki exist, the method taught by Usui was initially known as Usui Do, and developed as Usui Reiki Ryoho.
In its movement to the west it became known as Usui Shiki Ryoho.
Reiki is an energy healing system that taps into the energy (Ki) of life.
In fact, the word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words,
Rei – meaning spiritual, and Ki – meaning life force energy.
Ki is known in other traditions as qi(chinese), prana (indian), ha (hawaiian), num (african) pneuma (greek), ruach (hebrew)
Each person is born with the ability to heal themselves i.e. to make themselves whole, to bring themselves back into balance.
Ki (qi,prana) exists in all things. It is the life force that is found in each person. It has been recognized for at least 5000 years in Chinese, Indian and then in Japanese culture. In China Qi Gong (Dao-yin) and in India Yoga are scientifically accredited with aving a positive impact upon health.
The system of Reiki that was developed by Usui Mikao as personal practice and consequently as a healing method is unique in that it enables everyone to purposefully develop the ability to heal self and others.
The System of Reiki offers each one of us the opportunity to recognize our true source, our original nature bringing healing to all aspects of our being.

Every week, it seems like at least a few of the tech blogosphere's top news stories have something to do with patents. From patent auctions to patent troll lawsuits that, at worst, threaten to put individual innovators out of business, it seems that patents have become one of the biggest sources of headaches in the tech industry.
According to billionaire internet entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban, the chaos created by software and process patents has some very big negative effects: it's costing the U.S. economy jobs and spurring a "Patent Arms Race" that will inevitably impact consumer prices. But he's proposing a solution: eliminate the process patents that are used to 'patent' software.
As Cuban sees it, eliminating these patents will not only help create jobs and benefit consumers, it will relieve some of the burdens currently shouldered by the patent and court systems, saving taxpayers money in the process.
While there is a risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, if one looks at just how crazy the software and process patent landscape has become recently, it's hard not to think that Cuban's suggestion might be worth considering. Which is probably one of the reasons it's attracting attention.
Some, of course, will complain that eliminating process patents would be an overreaction that harms individuals and small businesses the most. It's an argument that should be taken seriously, but the unfortunate reality is that individuals and small businesses are currently faring the worst under the current system.
Many of the patently absurd patent shenanigans are being carried out by 'non-practicing entities' (read: patent trolls) that build up patent portfolios that they can license to others. Rather than spend millions litigating, large companies often settle with these entities, providing them with the money they need to fund lawsuits against parties that don't settle. Those parties usually often consist of individuals and small businesses that can't afford to settle or fight. Case in point: Apple wants to step in and stand up for its developers in their battles against Lodsys because it knows most developers can't afford to fight Lodsys. Apple, of course, has a real incentive to do this because some developers outside of the United States are now avoiding the U.S. App Store lest they open themselves up to a lawsuit.
On the flip side, individuals and small businesses are less likely to be able to defend their own patents. After all, the average cost of litigating a patent dispute now reportedly exceeds $1m, meaning individuals and small businesses without supersize bank accounts can't ever expect to have the ability to protect their patent rights. A patent that can't be defended, of course, is not worth the paper it's printed on.
The bottom line: if you don't have lots and lots of cash, you realistically can't play ball in today's patent system, which has become little more than a high-stakes game for monied interests. Until the United States Patent & Trademark Office proves that it's capable of filtering out dubious patent applications before they're granted, Mark Cuban's 'throw the baby out with the bathwater' solution may unfortunately be the best one out there.
Comments (2)
I thought there was something with trademarks that one had to use them regularly in order to keep them. Patents should have the same, if someone is hoarding patents and not actually creating those "inventions" then he should loose the right to have them.
That will force the patent trolls to WORK and not just sue people to make money.
But I'm no expert and that's just my opinion.
Our small but growing technology company has been the subject of a patent lawsuit by a much larger firm as a means to curtail competition and basically bankrupt our company. We do not infringe but the court let's companies file these lawsuits like they are throwing stuff at a wall just to see if anything will stick. The little company must defend itself and patent attorneys cost over $500 per hour! So much for encouraging free enterprise and competition.

Google just announced their Q3 financial results, and the earnings call is streaming live right now. We're still analyzing all the info, but new Google CEO Larry Page just let out a big Android tease. When talking about Ice Cream Sandwich, Larry said, "You won't believe what we have managed to do in this release. We see Android going gangbusters, and we don't see anything that will stop that."
What could Google have up their sleeve that we won't believe? Will it be one of the 13 things we thought could be coming to Android 4.0, a competitor to Siri or something completely unexpected? Let us know what features you think Google might announce next week in the comments below.

|Vehicles (Crime) Bill - continued
|House of Commons
|back to previous text
Part II: Number Plates
66. The British Number Plate Association has estimated the following costs for the regulation of number plate suppliers:
First Year Cost
Registration £1.35 million
Record Systems £2.7 million
Administration £1.87 million
Total £5.92 million
Continuing Annual Cost
Record systems £1.4 million
Administration £1.87 million
Total £3.27 million
67. These costs would be distributed among some 27,000 businesses and assume a registration fee of £50. The average cost per business is £219 (set up cost) and £121 (ongoing annual cost). The figures for administration include labour costs based on the average wage in the industry; administration costs would be lower for smaller businesses because they would sell and record fewer plates.
68. The Secretary of State is responsible for registering number plate suppliers. Initial set-up costs have not been quantified but are not expected to be substantial. Insurance companies would benefit through the reduction of vehicle crime. It is estimated that the annual saving might total up to £112 million per annum in terms of vehicle value.
Part III: Vehicle Identity Checks, Information Requirements and Miscellaneous
Vehicle Identity Checks
69. The total cost of this measure would be around £7 million to £14 million annually. These figures assume that all written off vehicles in salvage categories C and D (the most likely to be used for "ringing" crime) are repaired and returned to road use.
70. The Vehicle Inspectorate of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions would incur an estimated £610k in set up costs. The Inspectorate would need to recruit additional staff, at an annual cost of up to £5.7 million, if written off vehicles in salvage categories C and D were subject to compulsory identity checks on presentation for registration and/or re-licensing. These figures assume that each inspection will:
71. It is estimated that all these costs will be recovered through the inspection fee of £20-£25 per vehicle. This would be borne by the vehicle presenter who would also incur indirect costs, probably of the same order, of overheads involved in arranging for vehicles to be inspected.
72. Savings would greatly exceed costs. The police estimate that criminals currently disguise the identity of up to 10% of stolen vehicles. This works out at some 40,0000 vehicles annually with a market value of around £140 million.
Information Requirements
73. The costs to the insurance industry as a result of this clause will be minimal, as the industry is already developing this database. There will be costs to the Lord Chancellor's Department and Crown Prosecution Service as a result of additional prosecutions. This provision will not be brought into force until the money to cover these costs has been made available.
74. The likely cost of implementing the application of receipts from magistrates' courts measure, which would enable the Lord Chancellor's Department to recirculate monies received from magistrates' courts, is minimal.
75. The annual cost (including legal aid cost) to the Lord Chancellor's Department of extending the time limit for bringing criminal proceedings for the unauthorised taking of a vehicle is reckoned to be £697,958. The estimated annual cost of the proposal to the Crown Prosecution Service is £209,000.
76. With the exception of the following proposal, the measures in the Bill will have no significant staffing implications:
77. Regulatory Impact Assessments have been prepared for Regulation of the Motor Salvage Industry, Regulating the Supply of Number Plates and Vehicle Identity Checks. These have been cleared by the Regulatory Impact Unit (RIU) and are available in full on the Home Office website (www. homeoffice.gov.uk). The main points are brought out in these Explanatory Notes, particularly in the two preceding sections.
78. The substantive provisions in this Act will come into effect when it is decided appropriate by the Secretary of State who will issue a commencement order. Different dates might be considered appropriate for different parts of the Act or for different geographical areas.
79. Parts I, II, and clauses 34 to 37 inclusive extend to England and Wales only. Clauses 31 to 33 inclusive extend to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
80. Section 19 of the Human Rights Act 1998 requires the Minister in charge of a Bill in either House of Parliament to make a statement, before second reading, about the compatibility of the provisions of the Bill with the Convention rights (as defined by section 1 of that Act). The Secretary of State for the Home Department has made the following statement:
In my view the provisions of the Vehicles (Crime) Bill are compatible with the Convention rights.
