Is there a roadmap for the product?
Is this product expected to replace Data Quality in Studio?
What features can we expect in future versions? and What is the estimated time frame for releasing those features?
Product shows great potential. I just want an idea of what to expect in the next 6-12 months.
One really important note is that we still automate everything through a DI Job, i.e. Data Prep recipes and rules are fully compatible with Talend DI and can be run inside a DI job just like a tMap.

The 21 stages of this year's July 5-27
Tour de France in detail:
Stage 1: Brest to Plumelec (197.5km)
One of the first innovations this year is the lack of a prologue, meaning
the fight for the race leader's yellow jersey is wide open on this 197 km
stage which features four categorised climbs. The stage finish line is on a
200-metre long stretch which comes after the 1.7km climb of the Cote de
Cadoudal. A sprinter's victory - in the event of a mass finish - cannot be
ruled out.
Stage 2: Auray to Saint Brieuc (164km)
A relatively short stage, but with four small climbs - including the steep
Mur de Bretagne - the peloton will not have an easy day in the saddle.
Breakaways will struggle to go all the way due to the tight, twisting roads
leading up towards the finish line.
Stage 3: Saint Malo to Nantes (208km)
The first stage of the race to fully tempt the sprinters, stage three is
likely to witness plenty of breakaways although the unpredictable coastal
winds could play a deciding role in whether they go all the way to the finish.
Inner city hazards abound in the final three kilometres, before the peloton
reaches the 280-metre long home straight, and a likely bunch sprint.
Stage 4: Cholet time trial (29.5km)
An early test for the yellow jersey contenders. Despite being held over the
relatively short distance of 29km, the first individual time trial is on
rolling terrain where the wind, especially after La Romagne at km 18 could
play a role in determining crucial gear choices.
Stage 5: Cholet to Chateauroux (232km)
This classic sprinters' stage is arguably one of the flattest to feature on
the race in years. With the next day taking the peloton into the hills, the
sprinters and green jersey contenders are likely not to suffer breakaway
riders gladly.
Stage 6: Aigurande to Super-Besse (195km)
Stage six is a product of the organisers' wish to reduce potential boredom
from having too many flat stages. It begins on tight twisting roads and leads
the peloton up into the hills of the Massif Central. Breakaways are a virtual
certainty, and the stage's tricky profile means one might actually go all the
way. At this early stage of the race, the yellow jersey contenders may have to
watch who actually escapes from the bunch. The finish line is at the end of a
manageable 11km climb, whose last 1.5km is nonetheless at a gradient of 10
Stage 7: Brioude to Aurillac (159km)
The first real climber's stage of the race is short in length, but will
take its toll. A total of five climbs feature, although none can be compared
to the monsters of the Pyrenees or the Alps. The first of the two that are
rated category two - the Col d'Entremont - will be easy compared to the climb
to the Puy Mary. A long descent from there leads to another smallish climb
which in turn leads to the finish line.
Stage 8: Figeac to Toulouse (172km)
After a week of racing, the less experienced riders in the peloton will
start to feel the first signs of fatigue - and perhaps be glad that the four
medium-sized climbs on this stage come early on. Those with some energy to
spare would do well to get into a well-organised breakaway, which could go all
the way to the finish.
Stage 9: Toulouse to Bagneres de Bigorre (224km)
The first true mountain stage leads the peloton through the high Pyrenees
and over the Col de Peyresourde and the Col d'Aspin - both of which are
category one climbs. The climbing begins progressively, allowing possibilities
for breakaways although they could be caught before the summit of the Aspin,
and the 26km descent towards the finish line.
Stage 10: Pau to Hautacam (156km)
The very mention of 'Hautacam' tends to send shivers down spines of most
cyclists, except the masochist climbers. The second 'unclassified' category
climb of the race - following the 17.4 km climb to the summit of the Col du
Tourmalet - will host the race's first summit finish. A 14.8km ascent with
average gradients of 7.6 percent, the climb to Hautacam's 1535 metre summit
will be tortuous. After the first two kilometres the gradients increase,
reaching an avergage of 9.5 percent between the seventh and 10th kilometre
before averaging out to eight percent in the closing 4.5 km.
Stage 11: Lannemezan to Foix (167km)
The final stage in the Pyrenees is unlikely to see fireworks between the
yellow jersey contenders, but that won't make it's hilly profile any easier to
negotiate despite coming after a rest day. The main climb of the day is the
Col de Portel, which makes its debut on the race in the hope of making its
13km climb a memorable one for the peloton. A long descent leads to the second
category three climb of the day, and eventually the finish line.
Stage 12: Lavelanet to Narbonne (168km)
Leaving the Pyrenees behind for another year will be a relief for most of
the peloton, but those who have recouped sufficiently will be tempted by a
stage win at the end of a long breakaway. This relatively easy stage will not,
however, be given away cheaply by the sprinters looking to make the most of
900-metre long home straight.
Stage 13: Narbonne to Nimes (182km)
What has been labelled a 'transitional' stage, before the race heads
gradually up into the Alps, will still be closely observed by the teams of
yellow jersey contenders. The terrain is undulating, it will be hot and
breakaways are a certainty. It's up to the race favourites to make sure none
of their potential rivals slip away unnoticed.
Stage 14: Nimes to Digne les Bains (194km)
At the two-thirds stage, stage 14 comes before the big guns prepare for
three days of decisive climbing in the Alps. Those with no yellow jersey
hopes, including the sprinters, will target this relatively easy stage for a
win. A breakaway which is organised well on the sinewy roads leading to Digne
has a chance of going all the way.
Stage 15: Embrun to Prato Nevoso, Italy (182km)
The race's only foray into foreign territory sees the peloton finish on the
summit of the largely unknown Prato Nevoso climb in the Italian Alps, but
first it will have to negotiate the 'unclassified' category climb over the
summit of the Col d'Agnel. Ahead of the race's second rest day, and with the
yellow jersey battle on the horizon, breakaways are likely to form although
the battle for the King of the Mountains may take precedence.
Stage 16: Cuneo, Italy to Jausiers (157km)
The teams of the yellow jersey contenders will be hard pushed to provide
support for their leaders on a stage which features two 'unclassified' climbs
- both of which peak at well over 2000 metres altitude. After a steadily
rising 50km, the peloton will tackle the largely unknown Col de la Lombarde, a
21.2 km slog at an average of seven percent. Next up is the 26.7km climb to
the summit of the Col de Restefond, also known as 'La Bonette', at an average
of 6.2 percent. Attacks, collapses and time gaps are inevitable, although the
long descent to Jausiers will allow some of the slackers to limit their losses.
Stage 17: Embrun to Alpe d'Huez (201km)
If the yellow jersey battle is won anywhere, it should be here. No less
than three 'unclassified' climbs feature on this stage which finishes on the
summit of the legendary Alpe d'Huez. The steady 20.9km climb over the Galibier
will not be decisive, but potential stage winners and 'kings of the mountains'
will start to get frisky once on the 29.2km climb towards the summit of the
punishing Col de la Croix-de-Fer. A long, arduous descent then precedes the
13.3km climb around the 21 hairpin bends which lead to the summit of the Alpe
d'Huez. It's average gradient is 8.6 percent, with some sections at 11.
Stage 18: Le Bourg d'Oisans to Saint Etienne (196km)
For most of the peloton, the worst of the Tour is now over. A few small
climbs feature on this undulating stage but, compared to the previous days'
labours, they will be insignificant. An early breakaway is likely to form,
although its chances of going all the way will depend on how much those
involved have suffered in the mountains. The most difficult climb of the day
is the category two Croix de Montvieux, around 30km from the finish.
Stage 19: Roanne to Montlucon (165km)
Another undulating stage with a few early difficulties. For those riders
still hungry for a stage victory this is the last chance saloon. Others, after
nearly three weeks of toil, will simply be happy to sit back and ride tempo.
Breakaways are a certainty. The question is whether the sprinters and their
teams, with one eye on the 1km long home straight, have the motivation to
chase them down.
Stage 20: Cerilly to Saint-Amand-Montrond (53km time trial)
In the event stage 17 fails to prove decisive for overall victory, the
race's second and final time trial - as it did last year - should do the job.
This race against the clock is over a mix of flat and undulating terrain, and,
depending on wind conditions, speeds are likely to skim the 50km/h mark. Near
the end a small descent, followed by a few tricky bends, leads to the finish
line which is on a small rise.
Stage 21: Etamps to Paris Champs Elysees (143km)
By now, the Champagne should be flowing - at least for the winner of the
race. The final stage to Paris rarely witnesses a battle for the yellow
jersey, and the action is traditionally provided by the sprinters who are
hungry to win a prestigious stage on the world famous Champs Elysees. An
undulating first half of the race gives way to the streets of the capital,
where the peloton races eight laps of a circuit before the finish.

Editor's Note: EarthTechling, always looking to forward the cleantech revolution discussion, is proud to present this article via a cross post from partner Green Car Reports. Author credit goes to John Voelcker.
With the 2012 Fisker Karma now, finally, arriving in volume at dealerships, Fisker Automotive should finally begin to record some retail sales this month.
Still, we're not sure that raising your prices right as your first customers return to their dealers to take delivery is particularly gracious.
Fisker Automotive confirmed to Fox News last night that it will increase the price of the 2012 Karma by 6 percent two days from now, on Thursday, Dec 15.
The base-level EcoStandard model will now sticker at $102,000–up from the $95,900 price announced a year ago–and the high-end EcoChic model will cost $10,000 more, at $116,000.
Fear not, though: If you're one of the Fisker faithful who's already put down a $5,000 deposit on a Karma luxury sport sedan, you'll have an additional month to pay up. Depositors must decide by January 15 whether to place a firm order at the lower price.
About two years late in making it to market, the range-extended electric Fisker Karma sport sedan was first priced in 2008 at a bottom line of $80,000. Quite soon thereafter, the price of the car rose to $87,900 and stayed there for two years.
Like the Chevrolet Volt, the Fisker Karma is propelled solely by electricity but contains a gasoline engine that switches on to generate current. In the 2012 Karma, the engine provides power both when the lithium-ion battery pack is depleted and to give better performance when the car is operating in the higher-performance Sport Mode.
MORE: 2012 Fisker Karma Electric Car Drive Impressions: VIDEO
A pair of 150-kilowatt (200-horsepower) electric traction motors power the Karma's rear wheels, and its 22-kilowatt-hour battery pack is located in the central tunnel of the low, sleek four-door sedan.
Was this the wrong time for Fisker to raise prices? Or won't it matter to the well-heeled early adopters who are likely its core audience for the 2012 Karma?

Mediterranean Diet vs. Metabolic Syndrome: 1-0
The Mediterranean Diet (*) has long been considered as a dietary habit with protective effects against cardiovascular diseases and was recognised last year as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. A recent study by Kastorini et al. (1) analysed 50 research articles, including more than 500.000 subjects, and concluded that this diet is effective against the metabolic syndrome (**) in general as well as each of its individual components, such as waist circumference, cholesterol levels, blood lipids, blood pressure and glucose metabolism. The authors suggest that their results are of importance from a public health point of view and present the Mediterranean Diet as a cost-effective, healthy and "delicious" way to fight the growing metabolic syndrome epidemic. (PM)
* Characterised by high consumption of monounsaturated fatty acids from olives & olive oil, daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, low-fat dairy products; weekly consumption of fish, poultry, tree nuts, and legumes; low consumption of red meat, and moderate daily consumption of alcohol.
** The term Metabolic Syndrome refers to a combination of medical conditions that are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes

Obesity on the rise across continents (and species!)
Obesity, once an epidemic (a localised disease outbreak), currently a pandemic (a larger or global outbreak), and potentially becoming endemic (disease constantly present) is one of the biggest public health concerns. An article published in The Lancet (1) by Finucane, Stevens and colleagues has estimated the national, regional and worldwide changes in Body Mass Index (BMI) (*), based on data collected from community and national health examination surveys including 9.1 million people from 1980 to 2008. The authors analysed the trends in mean BMI for 199 countries and territories and estimated that in 2008, an alarming 1.46 billion adults worldwide were overweight, of which one-third (0.5 billion) were obese. Curiously, obesity is also on the rise in animals. We may have occasionally come across a fat cat or dog, but Klimentidis et al. (2) systematically examined more than 20,000 animals from eight species living with or around humans in industrialised societies and found that in all cases their body weight has been increasing in the last decades. This includes experimental animals (rodents and primates) in research colonies, domestic animals (dogs and cats) and even feral rats living in cities, suggesting other, as-of-yet unidentified factors that may contribute to obesity. (PM)
* BMI: Body weight (Kg) divided by the square of height (m)

A lifetime of Omega-3 deficiency
Omega-3 (n-3) and Omega-6 (n-6) are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) present in foods. Both are essential (i.e. must be consumed via diet) but despite their chemical similarity their effects on human metabolism are distinct. Much attention has been given to their ratio in the diet; for example, epidemiological studies have linked high n-6/n-3 ratios to cardiovascular or neuropsychiatric diseases. A recent study (1) modeled a lifetime of n-3 deficiency in mice (from gestation onwards). The mice had indeed less n-3 in the brain and this was related to specific molecular alterations. Importantly, they also showed behavioural changes; mice deprived of n-3 were more anxious and displayed depression-like behaviours. By showing such behaviour in mice and understanding the effects of the lack of n-3 in the molecular functions of their brains, these findings strengthen the proposed link between low levels of n-3 and mood disorders.

A "cool" way to tackle obesity
A letter recently published in Nature Medicine (1) concluded that "activation of brown adipose tissue might be a therapeutic approach to reduce elevated triglyceride concentration and combat obesity in humans". But what is brown adipose tissue and what implications does it have in obesity?
The adipose tissue (i.e. fat) is composed of white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). WAT is the main energy storage depot of the body, i.e. excess food intake can accumulate in WAT in the form of lipids, leading to overweight or obesity. BAT on the other hand, "burns" lipids to generate body heat and thus spends the energy stored in WAT. BAT adipose cells are considerably different from WAT, one of the main differences being that BAT cells contain larger and more numerous mitochondria (organelles that produce energy within cells), resulting in the characteristic brown colour due to the iron contained in the mitochondria (2). Until recently, BAT in humans was believed to exist only in infants, serving as a protection mechanism against hypothermia, as infants lack the shivering reflex, i.e. the involuntary shaking of the muscles around vital organs to increase temperature (thermogenesis). This led to the belief that the adult human does not possess this BAT-associated, "fat burn", temperature generating mechanism and consequently BAT activation as a therapeutic approach to obesity had generally been discarded (3).
However, recent research has changed this view. Positron emission tomography (PET), a technique used to diagnose tumours, identifies areas in the body with increased uptake of glucose, indicating an abnormally rapid division and growth of cells.
PET can also detect non-tumour related activities in organs of the body that have high energy expenditure such as the brain, heart or active muscles. In the mid-nineties, clinicians employing PET observed that many patients displayed a symmetrical high glucose uptake in the neck and shoulder area (see photo *). This was not related to tumours and was originally explained as muscle activity due to the anxiety of the patient during PET. As computer tomography (CT) was coupled with PET, it became clear that the areas of symmetrical high glucose uptake were not muscle, but a tissue with the characteristics of adipose (3).
It is now established that BAT can be present and functional in adults (4, 5), and further research has made researchers re-evaluate its importance in human metabolism. An important human BAT characteristic is that it is activated by exposure to a mild cold environment or during winter, but not at higher temperatures (6, 7). In addition, the presence of active BAT seems to be positively correlated with lower BMI and inversely correlated with higher age and BMI values (4, 6, 7). Researchers in the field argue that from an evolutionary perspective, BAT was present in early humans (just like extensive body hair) but likely declined as man was able to find increasingly efficient protection from cold (8, 9). Saverio Cinti (**) goes one step further, stating that the indoor temperatures two centuries ago were significantly less than today, and suggests that "reduced energy dispersion, due to diminished energy expenditure for heat generation, could thus be considered as one of the mechanisms favouring the current diabesity (obesity & type-2 diabetes) pandemic" (9). In other words, increased indoor heating would prevent you from "burning" energy to produce body heat and could hence contribute to obesity. Another important finding is that BAT like fat cells can exist interspersed in the WAT of rodents and humans. It has been suggested that WAT can be converted to BAT in rodents, cold exposure being one of the triggers (8, 10). If this is further confirmed, a possible plasticity of the adipose tissue in humans could serve as a powerful target for a therapeutic approach against obesity.
While research on the role of BAT in obesity is blooming and filled with more questions than answers, the findings so far could lead to new and original ways to fight obesity. One is likely many years away; new drug targets may arise from studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation or activation of BAT in adulthood. The other one however, if confirmed, would be in everyone's reach; simple, cheap and environmentally friendly – just turn down the heating. (PM)

No more medical
As of this month i have no more medical and cant go to the doctors until i get some and i make a little to much for public asst and the medical they try to give me i can't afford.What should i do?
Im going to call my doc to get my meds i can get that i still feel real good but
i still need to go in to see my doc.family and diabetic friends let me know what i should do.
5 replies
If any of you are in philly i have a place I don't know about anywhere else.But if you have a free clinic you can get all your meds and check up free and all your testing supplies for free and sometime up to a 3 month supply.
If you all find out anything are anywhere that can help please let me know I have no insurance either
I'm sorry to hear this. It does not make the load you carry any easier.
Do you have a local Health Dept.? They might be able to help, or point you in a good direction. I would check out the Red Cross is you have one in your area, they might have some idea's for you.
Good Luck. We are all here for you. God Bless. Mickey
I will have no insurance in a few months as well. At my age, it will cost me over $500 a month to purchase. I plan on going to a clinic based on my income. Hopefully test through the clinic. I also plan on paying the $70 to see my regular doctor, 3x per year. Get my meds from Wal-Mart $10 for three months. Find where your public clinics are located that include a sliding scale. Talk to your doctor and see what they may be willing to do.
Any other idea's? I need help too! So sorry for your situation!

♥♥ The always stunning, always outrageous Lady Gaga racked up a total of 8 moon men at The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, including the coveted "Video of the Year" award for instant classic "Bad Romance." This accomplishment brings her career total to 11 wins! That's pretty impressive considering that she has only been around for about two years now. In addition to winning awards for her musical talents, she also picked up the style award for the night as well. Her various costume changes were head-turning, eye-popping, and visually stunning! She opened the evening on the VMA white carpet with a dress by the late designer Alexander McQueen. Later that evening, she wore a heavy, black, gothic-inspired gown that was "difficult" to move in. She finished the night in the now infamous Franc Fernandez-designed meat dress. The 4o-pound dress, which came with accompanying accessories, was made of real meat and drew the criticism of animal-rights groups such as Peta and some VMA guests as well. Word on the street is that Pop star Ke$ha wanted to arrive on the back of a glitter-covered lion, but was afraid he might have mistaken Gaga for a meal. Get the inside scoop from the designer himself on Gaga's infamous "meat dress" on MTV.com, including that burning question we all want to know: What did the dress smell like?
♥♥ Pop crooner Justin Bieber picked up an award for "Best New Artist" at the VMAs, but should he have also taken an award home for the worst acceptance speech ever? You decide!
♥♥ Taylor Swift is known for using her real-life experiences as song inspirations. With this in mind, it should have come as no surprise that she would write a song about last year's VMA fiasco that involved Kanye West stealing the mic during her acceptance speech. The Pop star remained pretty mum about the situation up until the night of the VMAs where she chose to debut her song "Innocent", clearly directed towards Mr. West and the events of last year's show. While some fans thought that her performance was classy and dignified, others thought it was just a tad dramatic and unnecessary. Personally, I'm glad Taylor Swift chose to forgive, but I wish she would have chosen to forget also. What do you think? Read the shots fired lyrics to Taylor Swift's "Innocent" on her blog.
♥♥ The internet has been going crazy over Kanye West's VMA performance of the song, "Runaway" set to appear on his upcoming album, Dark Twisted Fantasy! Guest collaborator of the track Pusha-T of The Clipse has confirmed that he and his partner Malice and now signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. Download "Runaway feat. Pusha-T" (CDQ) at 2dopeboyz.com!
♥♥ Enough about the VMAs!! If you live in or near Los Angeles, there's still time to catch some of the week and a half long festivities to commemorate the closing of Fat Beats in that area. The L.A. location will feature artist performances every day starting Tuesday until it closes its doors for the final time on Saturday, September 18th. It's a sad week for Hip-Hop, but you don't want to miss out on this special celebration.
♥♥ MC Suave The Ape has dropped his 7th project entitled, ColoredOnly. The 10-track EP features tight lyrical content from the New Jersey native as well as production from 14KT, Apollo Brown & Sugar Cane Davis. This is one EP that you don't want to miss! Download Suave The Ape's "Colored Only EP" at CoastNation.com!
♥♥ British Duo The Ting Tings return with a new video for their single, "Hands." The new track is the lead single off the group's upcoming second studio album, Kunst which will be released later this year. Check it out!
The Ting Tings – Hands from Warren Fu on Vimeo.
♥♥ If you thought mixtapes were only for rappers and DJs, you were wrong! 19 year old Pop/R&B singer JoJo told Rap-Up.com. that her new mixtape, "Can't Take That Away From Me" is "All over the place, just like me." Soulful sounds and live instruments make this one worthy of download. Be on the look-out for her forthcoming studio album, All I Want Is Everything to drop next year.
♥♥ Naledge (1/2 of Kidz In the Hall) recently dropped his new mixtape entitled, "Twenty Something", in celebration of his 20-something birthday. The mixtape features appearances from Freddie Gibbs, Skyzoo, GLC, Murs, Mikkey Halsted, and many more. Download and take a listen! Happy Birthday Naledge!

Roger Wang, the Sabahan finger-style guitarist, celebrated his 10th year in the music industry in 2010. Already a famous musician in his own right, his recent achievements helped to catapult him to greater heights. Thanks to Jacky Cheung, the Cantopop "Heavenly King" who took his composition "Love Scale" and used it in his Canto-Jazz album "Private Corner". The song gave Roger Wang tremendous international exposures and helped him to win the recent PWH "Best Original Composition - International Category" award, a Bi-annual music award ceremony organized by the Malaysian Chinese press members. His other achievement is his collaboration with local Audiophile producer, Leslie Loh, in the highly-acclaimed Chinese acoustic album 2V1G (2 Voices, 1 Guitar), which has sold over 20,000 copies since its launch in 2008. 2V1G's debut album was recently listed in Hong Kong's Audiophile "CD Bible 2010" as one of the top 500 best recordings of all time.
With such accolades, it is high time for Roger Wang to release his first compilation in 10 years, aptly named "Milestones".
'Milestones' is a double disc compilation album that celebrates Roger Wang's first ten years as a recording artiste. This collection highlights his musical journey with hand picked tracks from 6 albums released over the decade, which includes tracks from Double Take's "1 Voice, 6 Strings, 12 Moods" and "1 Voice, 6 Strings, 12 Days of Christmas", Wang's solo album "Journey Home", his collaboration with Farid Ali on "No Strings Attached", 2V1G's debut album, "Love's Tapestry" with Gina Panizales as well as 3 unreleased bonus tracks. This album has been specially remastered to audiophile standard by Keith Yip of Rock In Music, Hong Kong.
To celebrate this joyous occasion, Roger Wang is going to have a album-launching-cum-mini showcase, to be held in Loud+Clear record shop on 25th Feb 2011 (Friday), from 8:00pm to 9:00pm.
Admission is free! Please book a seat with Caffee Wong at 012-3698160!

Published on H-War (June, 2010)
Commissioned by Brian G.H. Ditcham
"Able and Fitt Soldjers"?[1]
Specialists in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms have long been aware of the "New England connection" in regard to the civil wars through such figures as the siege master Colonel Thomas Rainborowe and the preacher and regicide, the oft-misspelled, Hugh Peter. This creates an interest in what became of the less well-known colonial fighters for the new order when and if they decided to go home. Reading Kyle F. Zelner's A Rabble in Arms leads one to hope for some enlightenment on these matters.
It has to be admitted that "King Philip's War" is largely unheard of on the British side of the Big Pond other than via revisionist discourse, which tends to cast colonial militias in a very dark manner over their treatment of the Native American people who had the misfortune to fall into their hands. However, Zelner's volume goes some way to examining the facts behind the myths and attempts to explain how militia recruiting practices may have led to some of the more egregious excesses. The book consists of an in-depth study of Essex County, Massachusetts--a community for which very good meeting records, court records, and muster rolls survive. Essex County is a useful model because it contains examples of all the community types to be found in the early modern colonial structure.
Traditional assumptions about colonial militiamen suggest that they were hardy yeomen, professionals, fine members of families of high standing, and volunteers to a man; Zelner's study, however, suggests that these were the very people who generally avoided impressment and that the "rabble" mentioned in the title--the criminals, the drunkards, the poor, and outsiders, those who had least investment in a community and who could be sacrificed with little cost--were the ones who were sent to war against King Philip's forces. As Zelner states: "who was sent [emphasis in original] to fight colonial New England's wars is a deeply complex and important one" (p. 2). The first generation of settlers (as so often) blamed the rising generation for all the ills of the colony; the fulminations of Increase Mather and other senior clerics against the godlessness and criminality of younger colonists led to the impressment of the very sort of men whom the older generation blamed for the existence of the wars in the first place.
Chapter 1 attempts an institutional history of the Massachusetts militia, and it is interesting to note that the military reforms wrought in England by the much maligned King Charles I and even the "new modelling" of the parliamentarian army seem to have largely passed by the authorities in New England. They preferred a deeply conservative model based on the Elizabethan system of impressment with local militia committees playing the role of the English county Lord Lieutenant, apparently unaware of that system's poor results in its English homeland and the evil reputation that this system had come to have. Its shortcomings might go some way to explaining the disasters that befell colonial militias in the opening days of the war. It is striking that none of the senior New England participants in King Philip's War appear to have seen service in the British wars in their youth.
The second chapter examines impressment methods and gives some attention to how volunteers were used as well as the use and abuse of substitution as a means of filling ranks. Compulsion to attend militia training and to assist with building fortifications at first fell upon deaf ears until the threat came close enough to communities to be real. Militia committees were slow to learn lessons. The initial reaction to indigenous people's "skulking and lirking [sic]" ways of war was one of outraged complaint that the enemy was not "playing by the rules," though eventually a learning process saw the development of "Ranger Scout" style units of a sort usually credited to the American Civil War (p. 45).
Chapter 3 examines impressment practices in four of Essex County's more prosperous towns: Ipswich, Rowley, Topsfield, and Marblehead. Why these towns sent particular members of its communities to fight is intriguing. Ipswich used impressment as a means to get rid of "undesirables" (as defined, of course, by town elites). Rowley had an unpleasant religious controversy brewing and the losing faction among the town elite exploited impressment as a means to turn the tables in this dispute. Topsfield had a fair number of volunteers and filled the gaps by impressing outcasts and undesirables, while Marblehead, after experiencing the loss of valuable townspeople in the 1675 massacre of Captain Thomas Lathrop and his unit at what became known as Bloody Brook, was careful to impress only outsiders and those with no real link to the community.
The fourth chapter examines the outcomes of impressment in some of Essex County's smaller communities: Manchester, Beverly, Wenham, and Andover. Many impressments in these smaller communities were on men simply in the right place at the right (or wrong, depending on one's point of view) time. These towns often had very little choice in who was sent to fight and had to obey impressment orders from larger communities.
Chapter 5 is an impressive and exhaustive study of all the men who were sent to fight from Essex County and for whom records survive. What is striking about the 357 impressed men is not so much who they were, but rather who they were not. Very few farmers or their sons were sent to fight--a logical enough decision in a community always at threat from famine or starvation. Most of the men sent to serve were young and unmarried. Married men of good standing largely avoided impressment, which could again be seen as logical. However, it is also striking that few members of recognized elite families or their sons were sent to fight. The overwhelming majority of the pressed men were "criminals" (as defined by the elites), the poor, individuals at odds with their community in some way, outsiders, or strangers. It is not hard to understand why such appalling military disasters followed or why massacres took place when colonial forces finally came out on top in the struggle. There were many reasons why certain members of society went off to war, but being a heroic volunteer in a citizen army was generally not one of them.
The book's final chapter attempts to examine the aftermath of the conflict. What became of the men who survived and came back to the communities that had shown so little regard for them? As with survivors of many a war, men came back disabled in both body and mind or hatefully at odds with a society that had rejected them. The wrecking of the meeting house in Newbury by three veterans of the campaign in an orgy of revenge taking against the community that had put them through so much is a startling example of how war could affect young men. More surprising is that the community stood up for them and asked for their crimes to be treated with leniency.
Zelner's volume contains impressive notes and appendices including muster rolls, tax lists, age profiles, and employment profiles of the men impressed--a useful tool for anyone wishing to attempt further research in this area. The book also contains interesting illustrations and useful maps.
All in all, this is an impressive deconstruction of the populist historical view of colonial militias as a group of citizen soldiers and willing volunteers; it ably demonstrates how far the personal interests of elite groups could be placed above genuine military needs of a conflict with often devastatingly damaging outcomes. It is an open question as to whether the Puritan "city on a hill" was ever to be the same again in the aftermath of King Philip's War.

amazing to see the process of two very talented designers. You can tell these guys truly have a love for type. The section on mind mapping and the creation of a mood board i found very helpful. Not so much of an instructional series but more of a "behind the scenes" collection of videos. Recommended for sure.

An integral part of the ethos of American history is the story of the pilgrims who traveled to America on the Mayflower. These heroic figures fled England to escape religious persecution, risking the wilds of the New World to pursue the freedom to follow whichever religion they wished. This perception of religious freedom as being one of the founding ideals of this country is accentuated by the United States Constitution. The first line of the First Amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…" (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment). Following September 11, 2001, however, this ethos and the spirit of one of the most revered laws of the land was directly violated and assaulted in a manner that was reminiscent of violence against African Americans almost half a century ago. Muslim Americans unjustly faced discrimination and prejudice for their religion in the name of protecting a country that espouses freedom of religion and protection from such heinous acts.
Immediately following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Islamic groups around the world began condemning the acts and disassociating the extremists who had carried out the acts from true Islam. Within a few hours of the attack, every major Islamic organization in the United States issued a joint statement. One part of it read, "American Muslims utterly condemn what are vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians. We join with all Americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. No political cause could ever be assisted by such immoral acts" (Council on American-islamic relations). A joint statement was also issued by representatives of the 57 nations in the Organization of Islamic Conferences. "Such shameful terror acts are opposed to the tolerant divine message of Islam, which spurns aggression, calls for peace, coexistence, tolerance, and respect among people, highly prizes the dignity of human life, and prohibits the killing of the innocent" (Council on American-islamic relations). Leaders of predominantly Muslim countries throughout the globe also spoke out against the attacks, as did Islamic religious leaders. The stance of the majority of the Muslim world was clear.
This did not, however, stop the Islamophobic rhetoric from spreading in the United States. Famous Christian evangelical ministers spoke out vehemently against Islam. Franklin Graham delivered the invocation and sermon at George W. Bush's first inauguration and was most recently in the news for claiming Barack Obama was an evil Muslim. Following September 11, he described Islam as "a very evil and wicked religion" (Peek). Jerry Vines, another prominent evangelical, was the president of the Southern Baptist Convention. He described the Prophet Muhammad as a "demon possessed pedophile" and asserted that "Allah is not Jehovah either. Jehovah's not going to turn you into a terrorist that'll try to bomb people and take the lives of thousands and thousands of people" (Peek).
Political leaders also made blanket anti-Muslim statements. Saxby Chambliss, a representative and future senator of Georgia, said that the best homeland security measure would be to "turn loose" local law enforcement and "let him arrest every Muslim that crosses the state line" (Vest). John Cooksey was a representative in Louisiana during September 11. He would later work in an ophthalmologist clinic in Baton Rouge. During his time in office, he stated, "Someone who comes in that's got a diaper on his head and a fan belt wrapped around that diaper on his head, that guy needs to be pulled over" (Vest). Popular political talk show hosts Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly both compared the Qur'an to Mein Kampf, and Michael Savage demanded a complete ban on Muslim immigration and construction of mosques, claiming these measures were necessary to save the United States (Peek).
The FBI received 481 reports of hate crimes against American Muslims in 2001, the vast majority occurring after September 11. This was a 1,600% increase from the year before and is an incredibly conservative figure as it does not account for any unreported hate crimes or crimes that local law enforcement dealt with without reporting a hate crime to the FBI. Crimes included assaults, vandalism, arson, violent threats, and shootings. There were definitely 12 murders following September 11 with the sole motive being discriminatory, but there may have been as many as 19 or more (FBI).
Frank Roque was the first man to commit homicide in retaliation to September 11. His first victim, however, was not Muslim at all. He was a Sikh who, wearing the traditional Sikh garb of turban and beard, was mistaken for Muslim. He was outside of his house gardening when Roque shot him. He would then go on to murder three more innocent people, only one of whom was actually Muslim. When Roque was arrested, he was quoted as saying, "I stand for America all the way. I'm an American. Go ahead. Arrest me and let those terrorists run wild" (Peek).
Mark Stroman was the second man to commit homicide in retaliation to September 11. Both of his victims were Muslims. The first was working in the convenience store he owned when Stroman burst through the door and shot him. Stroman would say after his arrest, "I did what every American wanted to do but didn't. They didn't have the nerve" (Peek).
Following 2001, hate crimes against Muslims have been between 100-200 crimes a year. While significantly lower than the number of crimes committed in 2001, levels have yet to come anywhere close to returning to pre-September 11 numbers. As one of the primary stories that forms the American mythology is of religious freedom, and the founding document that is held in such high regard contains religious freedom in a prominent position as the beginning of the First Amendment, one has to wonder what it is these anti-Islamic Americans are trying to protect. The political leaders, talk show hosts, and murderers all talk of protecting America and standing for America, but if it is not a land of freedom they are fighting for, what is it? If every citizen could answer this question truthfully and understand the fallacy of persecuting a religion in the name of America, maybe hate crimes against Muslims would finally end once and for all.

Slipknot - Slipknot [Digipack version]
Right. Here is an album that most people would likely call 'a pile of shit'. Maybe they are missing the point? Maybe they are sane.
These fuck-heads seem to think that a gimmick is required in the world of pseudo-religious death metal/goth/punk/rock/whatever world they reside in(maybe it is?). I would be willing to bet that the retards that worship(No I don't mean in a religious sense, I mean in a 'loser-with-no-life-must-idolise-musicians' way) these pricks are actually in awe of and amazed by the gimmick, cheap and blatantly transparent though it is. I reckon the name 'Slipknot' is a reference to the preferred trouser fastening these kids have to allow easy and quick masturbatory action at a moments notice, to satisfy their immature urges.
My god. I thought hearing them was bad enough but when I discovered the masks I didn't know whether to laugh or bite my own testicle until it bled.(Probably something else the band followers partake in on an average night to a concert).
Do they have talent?
Unfortunately, (I say that because I despise the fact that I have to admit it) they do.
It is a bit like when you see a christian rock metal band and are asked if you think they are good.
You can tell that they definitely know how to play.
The singing is ok.
The drummer is in time but.. but, something isn't right.
What is it?
Well, in the christian rock bands case they are just going through the motions. They haven't quite got the right heart. They play like an automatic machine.
In slipknots case they are full of ability and are exploding it out onto every available space within a thousand mile radius. They shit into your face and rub it in with pleasure.
They are still shite though, whatever they can do with their rabid guitar playing.
Like Van Gogh. Very close to genius but inevitably branded as a fuckup.
That was cruel - to Van Gogh: He at least did display signs of being a genius and in my opinion, was one.
So Slipknot:
This bands music and accompanying imagery is only for retarded children with no friends and an elevated sense of self(but only when in the company of fellow 'tards). When they are not in the company of their 'peers' they are the type to sit at home picking their nose..
and eating it..
whilst trying to make their own Slipknot mask..
and simultaneously playing some playstation game..
and chatting online...
With acne.
Whilst masturbating.
..their dog.
Download it?
Yes, for the experience alone.
And I'm not talking about the dog part you sick pervert.
======part 1======
======part 2======
======part 3======
I mean for fucks sake! Who are these imbeciles! (please don't tell me who they actually are, it wasn't a question and I don't want to know).
Back tomorrow with more fun and games..
About time I tried out some MP3 software I suppose. Hmm, maybe.
UPDATE! The BEST David Bowie Live show you can find. Tomorrow..

UK immigration cap is 'stupid', says David Miliband
Britain's former foreign secretary David Miliband, frontrunner in the contest to be the leader of the opposition Labour party, says British government plans to place a cap on non-European migrants to the UK are "stupid" because current migration is mainly fuelled by Europeans. Dipankar De Sarkar reports.world Updated: Sep 01, 2010 02:48 IST
Britain's former foreign secretary David Miliband, frontrunner in the contest to be the leader of the opposition Labour party, says British government plans to place a cap on non-European migrants to the UK are "stupid" because current migration is mainly fuelled by Europeans.
"Prime Minister David Cameron says he wants to build good relations with India and that's good but then he has this silly, dangerous and misguided immigration cap. The cap doesn't fit," Miliband told HT in an exclusive interview ahead of the September 25 leadership vote.
Miliband, whose main rival in the contest is his brother and ex-climate change secretary Ed, described the ruling Conservative party's immigration campaign before the May general election as "disgraceful."
"Immigration was a real people's issue. But above all, it was an intra-European Union issue. The A8 accession undoubtedly caused difficulties," he said.
'A8 countries' are the eight East European countries that joined the EU in 2004 – a move that allows their citizens to move and work freely within the 27-nation EU bloc.
The former Labour regime's response to migration from East European countries was to launch a Points-Based System aimed at controlling and raising the standards of skilled migrants from outside the EU region, mainly Indian workers.
The Conservative proposal to impose a limit on non-EU migrants, according to him, will be counter-productive as the British economy emerges from its worst post-War recession. Net migration – taking into account the number of people leaving Britain – was 163,000 last year during Labour rule, but the Conservatives say they want to bring it down "tens of thousands." The cap is also opposed by Indian and British businesses as well as the Conservatives' coalition partner, the Liberal Democrats.
"The idea that you want to keep out of the country highly-skilled tax paying people is plain stupid. Either it's meaningless because the reduction is so small or it's dangerous — either way it sends a very bad message," Miliband said.
Miliband, backed by a many Indian-origin politicians, added, "The big thing for me, and I've lived this out in this campaign, is that I see Diaspora communities in Britain are in the mainstream and not on the margins.
"And there's no better example of that than the British community of Indian origin, because it's a wonderful success story.

TRENTON — A Senate panel today advanced legislation that would require fire sprinklers to be installed in most new homes in New Jersey, a measure backed by sprinkler companies and firefighting agencies across the state, but opposed by the largest builders association.
The bill (S2273), advanced 3-0 by the upper house's Community and Urban Affairs Committee, would require sprinklers in all new single and two-family homes built in New Jersey, but would exempt those connected to wells as well as manufactured homes.
A companion bill was passed 44-30 earlier this year by the state Assembly. The Senate version now goes to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for consideration.
"It took a major fire at Seton Hall for us to enact the first mandatory residence hall fire sprinkler law," said Sen. Donald Norcross (D-Camden), a sponsor. "We shouldn't legislate around tragedies when we can avoid them with commonsense safeguards."
Fire safety officials overwhelmingly support the legislation, saying the systems have been proven to save lives and limit property damage caused by blazes. But opponents fear adding thousands of dollars to new home construction could hurt the economy.
"It is a difficult choice because we're concerned about cost and concerned about affordable housing, and there is an expense related to it," said Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May), the panel's chairman. "There's also the concern for safety."
The cost of sprinkler systems vary widely, depending on the size of the house and the water source. A 2008 report by the Fire Protection Research Foundation found that sprinklers can cost from 38 cents to $3.66 per square foot, with an average of about $1.61 per square foot.
New homes built in the Northeast in 2010 had an average 2,613 square feet, according to the U.S. Census, making the average price of a sprinkler system about $4,200, which advocates point out is only a fraction of the total home price.
"I don't see how you can look at the cost here," said Sen. Brian Stack (D-Union), the mayor of Union City. "Somebody's life has to outweigh the cost. While I respect the economy, it's not a difficult decision for me at all."
A lobbyist for the New Jersey Builders Association, Jeff Kolakowski, said forcing more people to install smoke detectors would do far more to deter loss of life for a fraction of the cost. He noted the bill does not cover existing homes that pose the greatest threat.
"We're not making the argument sprinklers will not save lives," Kolakowski said. "They certainly will, but under limited circumstances."
Sen. Samuel Thompson (R-Middlesex), who abstained from the vote, acknowledged the value of sprinklers but said the decision to spend significant money to install them should be left to homeowners.
"What we're deciding here is whether we are going to dictate, 'No, you cannot make the decision, you must have it in your home,'" Thompson said. "I prefer to leave that prerogative to them considering the expense."
Lawmakers in New Jersey have advocated for the sprinkler requirements for at least a decade, but with no success. An identical bill last year stalled before a final vote. Similar requirements are already in place in California and Maryland.
A residential sprinkler mandate took effect in Pennsylvania in 2011, but was quickly repealed by the Legislature and Republican Gov. Tom Corbett.
In 2010, the Christie administration scuttled an effort to require residential sprinklers when it chose not to implement the provision included in the 2009 International Residential Code. The state feared the added cost would impede a housing recovery.

Many faculty members at Settlement keep busy with full teaching schedules, but few serve in as many roles, or teach as many subjects, as AnnaLisa Mariani.
In the course of a week, Mariani teaches Suzuki violin to both individuals and groups, teaches Children's Music Workshop classes to children ages 3 to 5, and provides music instruction to the two classes for preschool students in the Kaleidoscope Pre-K program at the Germantown Branch. Lastly, she ends each week assisting during rehearsals by the Gleeksman-Kohn Children's Choir at the Mary Louise Curtis Branch.
This diverse range of subjects has its roots in Mariani's own hybrid upbringing in music: studying violin, starting with the Suzuki method, from an early age, and then later pursuing choral music.
"I grew up doing choir, from fifth grade on up, and sang in every choir I could be in, and I also did orchestra outside of my school district," she says.
Soon she was spending hours in rehearsal for both orchestra and choir, and though she later studied music education at Westminster Choir College, a choral-centered conservatory, she never set the violin aside.
"Playing violin helped me with singing," she says. "It gave me a good ear, so when I walked into choir, I could sightread anything they gave me."
Now, with years of teaching experience, the interplay between violin, choir, and early childhood instruction, has helped her become a more effective teacher. Even when changing between multiple subjects within a single day of teaching, she says, "I don't have to flip a switch."
"The subjects are different in a lot of ways, but Orff" —the style of music pedagogy used in Children's Music Workshop—"goes across the ages. I've used Orff methods to teach violin students," she says, adding that the Orff approach helps beginning violinists break down rhythms as they first learn to read music.
Of course, what originally brought Mariani to Settlement was a position teaching Children's Music Workshop, and she still spends plenty of time with some of Settlement's youngest students.
"It involves a lot of thinking on my feet and being prepared to go along with them," she says.
In working as an artist teacher for Kaleidoscope, Mariani finds she has to do a lot of thinking across subject areas and disciplines. Along with the artist teachers who lead instruction in art and dance, she has to look at themes and ideas that unite what they're teaching in each class—and what the classroom teachers are doing, too.
"We meet once a month to check in and to throw all our ideas on the table," she says.

The first time I was on Prednisone, I started at 20mgs/day and it took me almost 4 years to taper down and finally get off it completely. I found that once I tapered down to the 10mg range, even .5 or 1 milligram made all the difference in the world as to how I felt that day. I usually tapered down by .5mg-1mg at a time.
Even though I had to go back on Prednisone this past May (at 20mgs/day) it has only taken me 3 months to taper down to 2.5mgs/day - A LOT quicker than last time. I'm not sure why, though.....
Good luck!
