Free Trade's "Peace Dividend"
"Peace on earth, good will toward men" is a phrase we associate with the Christmas season. One bit of good news that you will probably not see in the newspaper or on cable TV over the holiday is that the world in recent decades has actually been moving closer to that ideal, and free trade and globalization have played a role.
In its latest "Trade Fact of the Week," the pro-trade Democratic Leadership Council reminds us that "The world has become more peaceful."
Citing a recent report from the Human Security Center in British Colombia, the DLC memo notes that wars are less frequent and less bloody than in decades past. The average annual death toll from armed conflicts has been declining since the 1950s, from an average of 155,000 down to 17,000 in 2002-2008. None of the world's "great powers" have clashed since the 1969 border conflict between Russia and China, and none of the major European powers have exchanged fire for 65 years—-the longest intervals of peace for centuries.
In Chapter 8 of my 2009 Cato book, Mad about Trade: Why Main Street America Should Embrace Globalization, I describe this phenomenon as "Free Trade's 'Peace Dividend'" (pp. 140-143). There are two main ways that globalization promotes peace: The growing network of global trade and investment has raised the cost of war, so that now if two nations go to war, they not only lose soldiers and tax dollars, they also lose markets and cause lasting damage to their economies. Globalization has also reduced the spoils of war by allowing people to acquire resources through peaceful exchange rather than conquest.
The DLC Trade Fact memo shares the credit with decolonization, the end of the Cold War, the spread of democracy, and peacekeeping missions, while also recognizing the contribution of economic openness:
[L]ower trade barriers, more open economic policies, more efficient logistics industries and better communications technology speed up and deepen integration across borders through trade and investment, strengthening mutual interests and reducing reasons for conflict. The [Human Security Center] report suggests that a 10 percent increase in FDI reduces a nation's chance of international or civil war by about 3 percent, and that globalization reduces the reasons a country might want to fight:
"[T]he most effective path to prosperity in modern economies is through increasing productivity and international trade, not through seizing land and raw materials. In addition, the existence of an open global trading regime means it is nearly always cheaper to buy resources from overseas than to use force to acquire them."
Eliminating all remaining trade barriers would be one of the best Christmas presents our politicians could give us.

After winning the first set handily from someone named Virginie Razzano, Serena Williams was leading the second set tiebreak 5-1. She dropped six straight points for the set, and the first five games of the third (in which Serena only managed six points).
Williams suddenly looked dominant for three games, but after an incredible 12-deuce, five-break point, eight-match point final game, the French Razzano won on home clay—and Williams lost in the first round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career.
No wonder Serena said she doesn't like sports.

The music is what drew me to my career in radio. My love for it started when I was young, listening to my 45"s, singing into my hair brush, and taking dance for 10 years. It didn't matter what genre either! Pop, Classical, even my mother's albums, Herb Alpert, Ramsey Lewis, and Burt Bacharach. I couldn't get enough.
I am an Akron native, and pleased to say I have been able to stay in Ohio for my entire radio career. I was also a big fan of The Wave! The idea of now working at the station is one of the most exciting prospect's, and I can' t wait to hang with all of you "after dark' in Cleveland!
When I am not listening to music, I do love to read. Most recently I read the Steig Larson trilogy, and a couple of bio's by Stephen Tyler and Chelsea Handler. I love to cook, am a bonifide Food Network and Cooking Channel junkie, and have not met a glass of vino I really didn't like! My husband Ray and I are trying to raise a 13 year old and an 18 year old, if we survive 2012, we'll consider ourselves lucky!! That is where the wine comes in!
Looking forward to the coming year bringing you the most exciting new format Cleveland has heard!

Evamor has been heavily promoting its artesian water. They claim their water has an alkalinity of up to 8.8 on the pH scale, which is definitely better to drink than tap water or regular bottled water.

Filming has commenced on director Pascal Chaumeil's (Heartbreaker) adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel A Long Way Down. The story revolves around a group of strangers who coincidentally meet on the top of a London skyscraper on New Year's Eve where they individually had gone to commit suicide. The four strangers make a pact to stay alive until Valentine's Day at least, and the story follows this group of unlikely friends "as they try to pull back from the brink." The ensemble cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul, and Imogen Poots, with Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike (Pride and Prejudice) also signing on.
The four central strangers are played by Brosnan, Collette, Paul, and Poots, who are set as a once-beloved TV personality, single mother, failed musician turned pizza-delivery boy and a "sassy teen" respectively. Hornby is the author behind such great works as High Fidelity, About a Boy and Fever Pitch, so the source material is a solid foundation. Jack Thorne (How I Live Now) wrote the screenplay and production is taking place in England and Spain. Hit the jump to read the full press release (which includes a synopsis) and to check out the first image.
Here's the press release:
LONDON – September 17th, 2012 – Principal photography is underway on A LONG WAY DOWN. The film is currently being shot on location in England and Spain.
Nick Hornby's ('About A Boy', 'High Fidelity') irreverent hit novel has been adapted for the screen by Jack Thorne (How I Live Now, The Scouting Book for Boys) and is directed by Pascal Chaumeil (Heartbreaker, Fly Me to the Moon).
A LONG WAY DOWN features two-time Golden Globe nominee Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia, The Ghost); Academy Award nomineeToni Collette (The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine); Emmy Award winner Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) and Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later, Jane Eyre). Three-time Golden-Globe nominee Sam Neill (The Piano, Jurassic Park) and Rosamund Pike (Pride and Prejudice, An Education) have also joined the cast.
Ben Davis (Kick Ass, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) is director of photography on the film, with Barney Pilling (Quartet, An Education) as editor. Production designer is Chris Oddy (Under the Skin) and Odile Dicks-Mireaux (BAFTA-nominated for An Education, Dirty Pretty Things) is costume designer. Nina Gold (Prometheus, The King's Speech) is casting director.
New Year's Eve on the top of a London skyscraper. MARTIN (Brosnan) is literally on the edge. A once-beloved TV personality, he's now desperate to jump. But he's not alone. Single mother MAUREEN, (Collette), sassy teen JESS (Poots), and failed musician turned pizza-delivery boy JJ (Paul), have all turned up on the same roof with the same plan.
Instead of jumping, these four strangers make a pact to stay alive and stay together until Valentine's Day at least. Both funny and poignant, A LONG WAY DOWN follows this group of unlikely friends as they try to pull back from the brink.
A LONG WAY DOWN is produced by Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey (Academy Award nominees for An Education) through their company Wildgaze Films. Finola mostrecently produced Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut Quartet, starring Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connelly and Pauline Collins. Quartet premiered to acclaim at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, with its UK premiere to be at this year's London Film Festival. It will be released in cinemas January 2013.
A LONG WAY DOWN is financed by BBC Films and DCM. Executive producers are Christine Langan for BBC Films; Dario Suter, Christoph Daniel and Marc Schmidheiny for DCM; Thorstan Schumacher for HanWay; Zygi Kamasa for Lionsgate UK and Nick Hornby.
Christine Langan, head of BBCFilms comments 'Nick Hornby's challenging yet heartwarming novel is safe in the hands of dynamicscreenwriter Jack Thorne, dazzling director Pascal Chaumeil and accomplished producers, Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey. The alchemy is further reflected in the wonderfully talented, funny and brilliant cast they have brought together for this highly original movie and we are extremely proud to be a part of it.'
A LONG WAY DOWN will be distributed in the UK by Lionsgate, and international sales are being handled by Hanway Films.

A model, dressed in Levi's clothing, exposes the Detox logo on her arm in a call for the world's largest producer of jeans to make fashion without pollution. Greenpeace investigations have revealed hazardous chemicals in a number of Levi's clothing items, as well as links between the brand and suppliers in Mexico that are releasing hazardous chemicals into local water supplies.The Detox logo (and tattoo on the model's arm) is also the Chinese character for water, and forms part of the creative material used in the global campaign calling on major fashion brands, like Levi's, to make credible and ambitious commitments to clean up their supply chain and products.

I found OSS4 to be by far the most superior audio system on linux. Therefore, I cannot fathom the following:
Why won't the developers get it to support suspend/resume?!?
Lack of this functionality makes OSS4 virtually useless for most laptops!
And yes, I am familiar with the infamous 'workaround' but killing all audio-using apps prior to suspend is not a solution. It is an utter absurd!
Please, explain this to me like to a 4yo child

Re: Please, explain this to me like to a 4yo child
reason is that each OS has a different mechanism for suspend/resume.......when OSS was being developed Solaris and BSD didn't even have concepts to deal with ACPI & power management. The honest truth is we just got lazy. But one can retrofit PM support into OSS. the oss_ich audio driver has some skeletal code for PM

I see. Is there any roadmap that includes suspend implementation?

Lockheed wrote:I see. Is there any roadmap that includes suspend implementation?
again, we have suspend/resume in the roadmap for OSS - the problem is now finding time to code or getting other contributors to OSS to code.
Re: Please, explain this to me like to a 4yo child
Well, I am running into the risk of talking about things I know little about, but I am guessing OSS is being developed in other departments anyway and I would think suspend/resume is such a major thing, the developing team would want do drop whatever else they are doing and get it done first.
Re: Please, explain this to me like to a 4yo child
The problem is not that other things are developed in preference to suspend/resume, but that there is no development.
There is no funding and very little developer manpower.

The absence of development does not always produces problems.
On the contrary, problems tend to be caused by development and innovations.
Examples: ALSA, PulseAudio, Chernobyl, Fukushima, and so on.

IMHO in case of OSS it is the problem because it lacks a function fundamental for home users and I imagine home users are the largest group using sound on linux.

It is not a problem, because home users tend to use Mac OS or Windows rather than Linux.
The real problem is that web-conferencing is going to become as important as e-mail in the near future.
You may need it working on notebooks, netbooks, smartphones, etc.
That is why Microsoft paid billions for Skype.
On Linux, you have PulseAudio instead of web-conferencing. This is the problem.

waterlaz wrote:Could anyone give me some details on why doesn't suspend work with oss?
Or perhaps point to a nice document about what should a general device driver do to support suspend?
A big thank you in advance.
You may try to study this:
pm-utils can be thought of as a collection of shell scripts that wrap the kernel mode suspend/resume with the various hacks. These hacks are needed to work around bugs in drivers and subsystems that are not yet aware of suspend. It is easily extensible by putting custom hooks into a directory, which can either be done by the system administrator or those hooks can be part of a package, especially if this package needs special attention during a system suspend or power state transition.
All this "very advanced open-source power management crap" (suspend/hibernation, etc.) can be completely disabled in GRUB (kernel boot options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootO ... el_Options ). Otherwise, it may destroy your notebook. Read this, for example:
Bug #370173: laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down/off
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... mments=all
You do not need to study all those lunatic ravings, of course. It might be sufficient to read the title. In short, "laptop overheats and suddenly shuts down", when the processor is going to melt.
A common Linux problem is missing ACPI functionality (fans not running, screens not turning off when the lid is closed, etc.) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DSDT
If fans are not running, the processor might be melted. Right?
In theory, PCs and notebooks should automatically shut down, before processors are completely melted. In practice, it may not always work.
Code: Select all
$ acpi -V | grep critical
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 95.0 degrees C
ACPI is a kind of "very advanced crap" http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/ACPI It is ill-documented, of course. The available information in Arch and Gentoo Wikis is outdated and/or misleading. You have to find out how it works on this or that particular hardware by trial and error. Such experiments may destroy processors, of course. Therefore, a sensible person may prefer to make such experiments with very old notebooks. Since PulseAudio tends to load CPU, it might be utilized for melting processors. Adobe Flash plugin (for Linux) can also help to melt processors (you may try to run several instances of Adobe Flash with YouTube).
Linux is so designed that it tends to overload CPU. Processors should be cooled. This consumes a huge amount of energy. Therefore, the so-called "advanced power management" does not make much sense. It might be reasonable to disable it, because it may destroy processors. It makes sense, of course, to remove PulseAudio, Gnome, and other "very advanced open-source crap" to reduce CPU load.
If you want to save energy (and prevent your processor from melting), you have to clean fans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA7zMnzYAWo It is advisable to study an official service manual, because certain notebooks (e.g. Dell Latitude D531) are designed in such a way that you may need to disconnect keyboard, display, the palm rest, etc. First of all, read the safety instructions.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the back panel on the computer.
If you touch chips (e.g. memory) by your fingers, they might be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
Cleaning a System
One of the most important operations in a good preventive maintenance program is regular and thorough cleaning of the system inside and out. Unlike desktop systems, laptop systems don't have air flowing through all their parts, so they are more immune to dust internally and normally don't have to be disassembled for cleaning. Laptops do, however, usually have fans that draw air through cooling ducts with heatsinks mounted inside them. Dust buildup in these cooling passages can be a problem because the dust acts as a thermal insulator, which prevents proper cooling. Excessive heat shortens the life of components and adds to the thermal stresses caused by greater temperature changes between the system's full power and sleep/power-off states. Additionally, the dust can contain conductive elements that can cause partial short circuits in a system. Other elements in dust and dirt can accelerate corrosion of electrical contacts, resulting in improper connections. Regularly blowing out any dust and debris from the cooling passages (through the vents) will benefit that system in the long run...
Cigarette smoke contains chemicals that can conduct electricity and cause corrosion of computer parts. The smoke residue can infiltrate the entire system, causing corrosion and contamination of electrical contacts and sensitive components, such as floppy drive read/write heads and optical drive lens assemblies. You should avoid smoking near computer equipment and encourage your company to develop and enforce a similar policy. http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/a ... x?p=102215
Thus, the first thing to learn is how to clean fans. If you are not experienced in such things, you can easily destroy something. The "service manuals" for Dell notebooks are available for download on the Dell website. Dell notebooks (and other crap of the sort) are so designed that fans must be cleaned on a regular basis.
If your old notebook is still working after cleaning fans, you may try to install Lm_sensors https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lm_sensors Lm-sensors are also crap, of course.
Arch Linux users keep destroying their processors:
2012-02-09 08:37:19
Hi. I have the problem with the temperature. The notebook gets too hot. I have read and tried everything in the web but the problem persist. The sad part is that the same notebook with windows has much less temperature.
Sometimes the notebook turn off by itself due a high temperature. Almost daily.
I'll put all the informacion of my pc and hopefully you can help me because i dont know what to do.
Lenovo G460
Video Intel HD Graphics
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz
3Gb de RAM
Arquitectura x86_64
Kernel Linux 3.2.5-1-ARCH
Normally the temperature is over 70. When i decompress a big zip or I have 3 flash videos open the temperature rises to over 80
Please please please help me!
Nobody is going to help, of course.
He seems to be a GNU/PulseALSA enthusiast from Argentina, he does not seem to be able to learn from experience (our brothers in Vanuatu also fail to learn from experience http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmlYe2KS0-Y ). "Normally the temperature is over 70" - this means that the processor may soon be destroyed (if it is not already melted), and the problem may solve itself (in this sense).
One may wonder how many Lenovo laptops have already been destroyed by Arch Linux.
[Arch Linux] Lenovo Ideapad U460 overheats very easily and loud fan
My Lenovo Ideapad U460 overheats even when I have 10% CPU usage while my fan is often on and very loud even while I'm using very low resources. Any suggestions?
I've been having this issue for a long time and just figured it's just how this laptop performs.
In this particular case, cleaning of fans is not likely to help, because it is a Lenovo notebook. The cause of problem seems to be the "very advanced open-source power management crap" which can be disabled with a proper kernel boot option https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootO ... el_Options There is a risk, of course, that processor might be melted, because the fan does not work with Linux for some strange reason.
IMB/Lenovo notebooks are so designed that fans may work normally without cleaning for 10 years. Although cleaning is advisable, IMB/Lenovo notebooks are not supposed to be cleaned in the same way as Dell notebooks and other crap. The work should be done by professionals who have special tools such as "computer vacuum cleaner", etc. http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/a ... x?p=102215 The service manual for Lenovo G460 can be downloaded here: http://notebookservicemanual.com/ja/len ... guide.html
You may find a lot of "CPU overheating" stories on Arch Linux forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=31
For example:
arch + samsung r540 = CPU overheating
Today 13:21:23 (2012.02.27)
Some time ago I installed arch on my laptop (samsung r540), and I've been experiencing problems with overheating ever since.
Every time I need to do something that requires CPU power (in my case mainly compiling/installing form aur) my cpu temp spikes instantly and laptop shuts down. This is quite frustrating, since it's preventing me form doing any work.
...the temperature spikes instantly to 90C and the system shuts down. Same thing if I try to compile something, encode/convert audio/video or do anything that requires cpu usage.
Before shutdown I see message about throttling down my cpu speed because temperature is above threshold, then I get message about critical CPU temp and system shut downs.
I hear the cpu vent going up when the temperature goes above 80C [!!!]
Arch Linux is not for "doing any work", it is for destroying computers.
This should be obvious, but the Arch Linux users constantly fail to learn from experience.
This might be a perfect example of "stupid business". There might to be a correlation (if not a causal relationship) between deafness and stupidity. The story of PulseAudio proves this point. Not seldom, perhaps, stupidity (or lack of knowledge) might have caused deafness http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/ho ... ing_living
The deaf might be perfectly happy with PulseALSA. The stupid may consume any crap, if it is said to be "advanced". The purpose of symbolic words (such as "advanced", "progress", "freedom", and the like) is to provoke enthusiasm among the stupid. This is how Cargo cults work. To paraphrase Alfred Korzybski, those who rule the symbols, rule the stupid
Why does nobody help? Because the Arch Linux forum is not a forum. It is something else. Moderators keep practicing a sort of censorship and enforcing PulseAudio ideology instead of moderating discussions. If dissidents attempt to protest, they are diagnosed as "dumb" or "stupid" and topics are closed. For example: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=856580 In short, the Arch Linux forum is a kind of anti-democratic institution, and, therefore, sensible people may not like to participate. The basic principle of GNU/PulseALSA ideology is rather obvious: the ends justify the means. It seems to be a kind of radical Trotskyism, or something of the sort.
A variety of desires for collective benefit coupled with apparently irrational strategies to attain those desires have attracted the label cargo cult. Such labeling occasionally evokes tragedy, playing upon the melancholy future of unfulfilled desire. But most often, cargo-cult labeling highlights an irrationality of practice rather than sorry futures.
Lamont Lindstrom, Cargo Cult: Strange Stories of Desire from Melanesia and Beyond (1993).
The Cargo cult phenomenon is not as simple as that, of course. On the one hand, it is a way of life. On the other hand, it is, perhaps, the shortest path to enlightenment (satori):
You see, many of the troubles going on in the world right now are being supervised by people with very good intentions whose attempts are to keep things in order, to clean things up, to forbid this, and to prevent that. The more we try to put everything to rights, the more we make fantastic messes. Maybe that is the way it has got to be. Maybe I should not say anything at all about the folly of trying to put things to right but simply, on the principle of Blake, let the fool persist in his folly so that he will become wise.
Why is Linux sucking so miserably?
Novell Incorporated: Convergence of Windows and GNU/Linux Since 2006
http://techrights.org/2008/10/14/conver ... s-and-gnu/
Google's Android code deleted from Linux kernel
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/03 ... ux_kernel/
The convergence of M$ Windows and GNU/Linux is a convergence of crap of a similar nature. The users of crap seem to experience the same problems with cheap laptops (such as Dell notebooks, and other crap):
Fan Always Runs Or Laptop Overheats And Shuts Itself Off
Warning! Before Disassembling Laptop always unplug power and remove the battery.
Laptops that shut down without warning are often experiencing overheating issues. Overheating may be a symptom of age, of clogged ventilation or impending failure, but it can also result from simply using the laptop in a bad location. Before you try to take the laptop apart to look for problems, it pays to patiently troubleshoot the symptoms and see if an easy fix is possible...
Read more: http://www.ifitjams.com/overheat.htm
The difference is that Linux tends to overload processor, and, therefore, the problem of overheating might be more severe.
Do not forget that ACPI is "a very advanced crap", which can cause malfunctioning of fans and overheating of processors. Notice that Linux kernel developers proved to be Novell/Micro$oft Fellows (that why Google's Android code was deleted from Linux kernel):
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/03 ... ux_kernel/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell#Agr ... _Microsoft
If the Linux kernel has already been somehow privatized by Novell/Micro$oft, it might not be surprising that Linux is sucking so miserably.
There seems to be something fishy going on. Have you noticed very strange kernel bugs, or ACPI backdoors camouflaged as bugs? For example:
Whether it is a kind of backdoor, or simply a very advanced open-source crap which might be easily exploited by "evil hackers" and three-letter agencies http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... r+Agencies it continues to destroy laptops with Arch Linux installed:
[Arch Linux] laptop going to meltdown [2012-05-31]
I've only recently installed arch but i worked fine until the last update I did.
Since then my cooling fan hasn't been comming on after boot (it starts untils arch boots).
I've looked into it and found this :
# sensors
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +81.0°C (crit = +120.0°C)
temp2: +81.0°C (crit = +120.0°C)
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +79.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +79.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Is there any way to bring the crit temperature down please.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
ps:if it's of any importance I'm on a HP pavillion dv2500.
This seems to mean that Arch Linux update may destroy your notebook, if the very advanced crap (that is, ACPI) is not disabled. However, "acpi=off" may cause problems, for example:
[Arch Linux] Poweroff doesn't work with acpi=off [2012-06-15]
shutdown -hP now, poweroff etc results in halt but not poweroff. I have to press the power button (lightly) for it to finally power off.
All the daemons stops, then it says
[(number)] System halted.
Then it doesn't turn off. It works without the "acpi=off", but then the computer freezes when the fan turns on.
Reboot works fine.
HP Compaq nx6125, i686, 3.3.8-1-ARCH
What is more, "acpi=off" may render Arch Linux unbootable on a Dell notebook. If it happens, and Arch Linux fails to boot, an Ubuntu refugee may simply boot an Ubuntu LiveCD (preferably, an old stable release) and edit menu.lst of Arch Linux. Alternatively, one may boot "Arch Linux Fallback" and fix menu.lst with nano text editor:
Code: Select all
# nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_nano
GRUB1: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub
Ubuntu 8.04.4 LiveCD ISO can be downloaded here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.4/release/
If "acpi=off" causes troubles, one may try "acpi=oldboot"
Common Kernel Options
acpi=oldboot Deactivates the ACPI system almost completely; only the components required for the boot process will be used.

Auto On/Off
By Whitetiger on Tuesday, August 27, 2019Great truck the auto on/off is a little annoying but it probably does help with the MPG as I avg 15.6 most of the time around town and some hwy. When it rains just be careful on making a turn with the pavement being wet or accelerating too quick as the rear end will want to come around and see you very easily. Lots of compliments though!

Style and look is great but some quality issues.
By Gbn on Monday, November 18, 2019Style is great and I love the look of my Super crew Lariat. It feels very solid and the ride is great. I've owned 3 an 2003, 2016, and 2019. The issues I've found with this truck have been with the driver seat seeming to shift from side to side slightly, it was missing a few inches of defroster element in the sliding back glass(they have ordered a replacement) and a very noisy engine compared to the 2016 model 5.0 v8. The 2019 5.0 has some faint valve chatter and a single pop noise when taking your foot off the gas under load. Louder going up hill. Also the 2019 was below minimum oil requirement at just 2500 miles. So far it has used about a half a quart in a 1000 miles since change so that has slowed down some. The noises do not seem to hurt my mileage or vehicle operation, they are just annoying in a $55000 truck.

love the regular cab pickup
By shawn on Thursday, November 07, 2019The regular cab F150 XLT V8 FX4 is the truck I got. So far I love the truck if I could change some things it would be the fit and finish on the interior its not up to the price tag of these trucks if you pay 35000 for a truck it should be perfect I think. The only other issue is the 10 speed transmission in normal driving mode is doesn't shift smoothly if you use any other mode it seems much better especially sport mode the V8 is awesome. I dislike the auto stop/start ignition it doesn't save any gas what so ever. I disabled mine it was easy. I drove a Silverado regular cab and would have bought it but GM financing offers you rebates only to take them away with high interest rates and for the same money I got a more powerful V8 and better XLT FX4 package with navigation the Silverado was a work truck w/black out package no information system no NAV a bad stereo just a basic truck for the same money but it is a very good looking truck. The RAM sport regular cab would have been my first choice it had everything I wanted but I couldn't find new one within a 150 mile area the ford I got was in Maine about a 100 miles from where I live. The regular cabs are not popular especially the ones with options. In the end I'm happy with the F150 but I think any of the big three RAM Ford Chevrolet would be a good choice in the end it depends on the deal you can get from the dealers

In what seems like a Cthulian moment of experimentation, scientists have fashioned a biotech "nose" by genetically engineering frog cells to behave like insect nose cells. And then they turned the hybrid cells into a control device for a robot.
Why would they do this? The idea is to create a biosensor that responds to specific chemicals in the environment. It could, for example, be used as a warning system that sniffs out toxins that human noses can't smell. The results of their experiment, published over the weekend in the Proceedings of the Academy of Science, suggest that the nose works:
According to the authors, in tests the "bio-hybrid" sensor was able to differentiate between nearly identical chemicals, such as compounds that have similar chemical formulas but slightly different molecular structures.
But here's where things get even more interesting:
To test the device's potential in a portable system, the researchers amplified the sensor's output and used it to actuate a robot that was equipped with an electric motor. The authors suggest that the sensor may enhance the portability of current odor detection systems, and could be incorporated into a variety of applications, such as environmental monitoring and food administration.
What that means is that when the "nose" smells something specific, it will cause the robot to react in a pre-programmed way. For example, if it smelled something rotting in a commercial kitchen, the frog-insect nose could direct the robot to locate the source of the smell and then say, "Something is rotten right here! Clean it up now, human slaves."
The robot these researchers created is also a perfect example of a cyborg, incorporating biological systems from two different kinds of animal into a technological system.

Jody Stecher & Kate Brislin: Home
WELCOME to the website of Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin. We have been singing together as a vocal duet, doing old-time music, early country, old-style bluegrass, recently composed songs, and some really old traditional folk songs since 1974 and playing guitar, mandolin, five-string banjo, and fiddle. Our recordings have been Indy winners and Grammy finalists. We are "semi-retired" from touring as a duo but are still singing, maybe better than ever. This website provides access to our music via our CDs, especially to our most recent duet recording called "Return" and to Jody's new recording of songs and tunes he has composed, called "WONDERS & SIGNS", which is receiving a very favorable response for its beauty and originality, and which is now available for purchase.
We've recently added a Music feature for displaying the words to songs and are re-activiting the News and Calendar pages as well. We're glad you've stopped by to visit. Please have a look around!
"Their music captures the essence and core of traditional music. Their bare-bones approach to this art form ranks them among the legends."
Pete Kuykendall, Bluegrass Unlimited
"Jody and Kate have the uncanny ability to crystalize the spiritual essence of an old song, while making it their own." – BOTMC
"They bring an almost unearthly savvy and sensitivity to Appalachian and early bluegrass material, breathing freshness and vitality into even the most timeworn of standards". Elderly Catalog

Spectacular new Grand Vermilion Chalet, a grouping of four gorgeous townhouse-style units, all under one roof. Open year round!
The Grand Vermilion Chalet is perfect for family reunions, retreats, and business groups. The four two-story units making up the Chalet are similar in design and feel to recently built Pehrson Lodge cabins Chickadee and Sandpiper. While this building is new and grand, great care has been taken to blend it with its historic resort surroundings. Its architectural design retains the feel of this Classic Minnesota Resort.
The walkout level houses a gathering/meeting space room with excellent lighting., spacious patio, A/V equipment and a catering kitchen. The Main floor sundeck features a 360-degree outdoor fireplace and plenty of space for your group to spread out and enjoy each other's company.
Each unit features vaulted ceilings, lake views through two-story glass, an indoor gas fireplace, central-air, TV (but you can pretend it's not there!) and telephone. For added convenience, the new guest laundry facility is located in the walkout level. "Lighthouse" and Harbor View", on the two ends of the building, have four bedrooms and three baths. "Moorings" and "Beacon", centrally located, each have two bedrooms and two baths.
