The Sacking of Lawrence, May 21, 1856 – 2
The events leading up to 1856 raid on Lawrence began with the opening of the Kansas Territory to settlement with the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. David Potter in his book The Impending Crisis, 1848-1861 posits that William H. Seward, in a speech to the Senate on May 25, 1854, issued a challenge to pro-slavery supporters effectively sparking a competition to see which side, pro-slavery or free-state, could populate Kansas the fastest and thus gain its control.
"'Come on then, Gentlemen of the Slave States,' he said, 'since there is no escaping your challenge, I accept it on behalf of the cause of freedom. We will engage in competition for the virgin soil of Kansas, and God give the victory to the side which is stronger in numbers as it is in right.' This act transplanted the controversy from the halls of Congress to the plains of Kansas."
David M. Potter and Don E. Fehrenbacher, The Impending Crisis, 1848-1861, (New York: Harper and Row Publishers, Inc., 1976), 199.

Letter from JaipurBy J. D. Daniels
Last year's Jaipur Literature Festival was exciting and boring at the same time—a death threat is exciting, but thirty death threats are boring; as Dostoevsky wrote, "Man is a creature who can get used to anything." Salman Rushdie was scheduled to attend: Islamic groups agitated to deny him a visa, which he does not need in order to enter India, but never mind. It was suggested that instead Rushdie might address the festival via video conference: the government itself advised against this. Hari Kunzru, Jeet Thayil, Amitava Kumar, and Ruchir Joshi read aloud in protest from The Satanic Verses, still banned in India, but, after the gravity of their collective transgression had been brought home to them, they left the festival.
We know what comedy is: life is increased. Think of Rodney Dangerfield addressing the crowd at the end of Caddyshack: "Hey, everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" And we know what tragedy is: isolation increases. I used to think that life was about winning everything, Mike Tyson once said, but now I know that life is about losing everything.
But what is India, with its boundless affirmation of life in general that befouls so many lives in the particular, with its joyous proliferation unto overcrowding, need, and misery? I did my small part, during my brief month there, to maintain those inequalities: Give me your shoes, I know you have other pair, you not need these, give them me, said a man as he tried to pull my sneakers off while a second man tried to pin my arms; and what he said was true, somewhere on the other side of the world I did have another pair of shoes, four shoes and only two feet; all the same, unhand me, my little friend, before I pick you up and throw you like a javelin.
I attended the 2013 JLF. It began in the same way. Read More

Winter Soldier Parallel in Freedom City?
So with Captain America: The Winter Soldier in theaters, I started wondering if there was a Winter Soldier-like character in Freedom City. To my knowledge there is not, in part because I don't think the Patriot ever had a Bucky-like sidekick in the first place. So has anyone created a Winter Soldier-like character for their Freedomverse? I know one way to make it work might be to use one of the members of the Allies of Freedom, given that they did lose some of their number duing the war.

I'd go with Eye of Vengeance (later Eye of Justice) from Freedom City: Iron Age. He's a teen hero who was captured and transformed into an amoral operative with cybernetic implants.

Producers must appreciate and understand the risks in the global dairy market when making risk management decisions at home.
By Carl Babler, Atten Babler Commodities
The export of U.S. dairy products has become an increasingly important part of the U.S. dairy industry over the past several years. Net exports of U.S. milk production now exceed 10% on a milk solids basis. It is important for dairy producers to understand the dynamics of this part of the market since it has largely been the outlet for soaking up growth in supplies and supporting prices.
U.S. dairy exports are largely made up of nonfat dry milk and, from time to time, a significant amount of butter. Cheese has historically been a net import, but in recent years has shown a steady growth and now makes up a small amount of exports.
Dairy exports represent a bright spot, supporting growth in the U.S. dairy industry, especially in light of a relatively stagnant domestic market. Over the last decade, domestic dairy demand has grown only about 11% while export demand has grown 113%.
The export growth story has not been a smooth ride. Year-over-year changes in exports have swung wildly compared to the generally single digit year-over-year changes in domestic demand.
Much of the volatility is driven by weather in New Zealand, the world's largest dairy exporter. Their grazing production model is highly reliant on consistent rainfall. In years of severe and moderate drought in Oceania, the U.S. has stepped in to fill the void in global dairy trade.
As the world dairy export market grows, the linkages between product prices have increased significantly. This increases the sensitivity of U.S. prices to world weather, production, growth and policy changes. As evidenced by the incredible growth in global dairy trade over the last decade, this is a phenomenon that is unlikely to end any time soon. Accordingly, producers must appreciate and understand the risks in the global dairy market when making risk management decisions at home.

Modern households run smoothly and efficiently with the help of a variety of household appliances, washing machines do the laundry, dishwashers clean utensils and vacuum cleaners sweep up dirt! In fact running a modern home without an assortment of trusty appliances would be both backbreaking and time consuming. A microwave oven is the perfect example of an appliance that simplifies everyday life by easily heating up food and faster, timed cooking that gives perfect results each time! For example, a microwave oven can be preset to a time for boiling milk so you will never have spilt milk all over your gas hob again, it also frees you up to do other chores while dishes cook perfectly in the microwave oven.
Given the advantages that a microwave oven provides it is understandable if you are rather frustrated when your microwave oven breaks down. The first decision to make is whether the age and condition of your microwave oven justifies the expense of repairing it or if it is better replaced. If you decide to repair your microwave oven, it is important to hire a reputable microwave oven repair service to make sure that your microwave oven is not damaged and the repair is done in a timely, efficient and professional manner.
There are many other factors consumers need to consider before hiring an appliance repair service. Home appliances are expensive, and you will want to ensure that the company you hire is reputable and has the skills required to complete the fix in a timely and efficient manner.
To start with research any potential microwave oven repair and service agencies, look online and ask for references from friends and family. Check how long a microwave oven repair service has been in business and read online reviews and ratings. When calling a microwave oven repair service ask clearly about visit charges for when the microwave oven service professional will visit your home to inspect the microwave oven. Some services will offer to offset the visit charge against the charges for repair if you hire them for the microwave oven repair job.
When the microwave oven service representative inspects your microwave oven it is important to ask for a clear explanation of the fault in the microwave oven, the parts that need to be replaced, the time involved in the repair and the estimated cost of repair. Also inquire about whether the replaced parts will be original, branded and under warranty and whether the microwave oven repair service employees are factory trained and certified to perform the repair. Reputable microwave oven repair services should provide a warranty for the repair job.
Give us a call and we can help match you with the right professional for the job!

The Other Election: London Mayor
In a poll conducted by the Evening Standard about one week ago-it showed Boris Johnson being 13 points ahead of Ken Livingstone; but as things really begin to hot-up that lead has been reduced to six points.
[The View From London]
America is all excited about the on-going presidential nomination elections; here in London, we also have a race of our own.
There are 10 candidates contesting for the post of mayor of London.
Out of this fold, two main protagonists stand above the rest in their quest to clinch the coveted mayoral prize. Among them is the incumbent, Ken Livingstone. The other is Boris Johnson; so, this is actually a two horse race.
Mayor Livingstone, 63, is a Londoner-born and bred. He has held this position since the inception of the office of mayor in the year 2000. He was re-elected in 2004 and is now bidding for a third term come May 1, 2008.
Livingstone is a man who loves a challenge. When he first ran for Mayor in 2000, the Labor Party would not endorse his candidacy, due to fundamental differences in policy with the party leadership. He ran as an independent---and subsequently won---much to the chagrin of the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
The Mayor has been the architect of one of the most controversial schemes in recent times; namely the introduction of the congestion charge, a proposal that was recently rejected in New York City.
The congestion charge is designed to ease the flow of traffic during peak times in central London and also to fight against pollution. The Mayor saw the heavy traffic-congestion in London as an exigent problem that warranted immediate action---and used his mayoral position as carte blanche to eradicate the curse.
There was fierce opposition to this scheme from a wide section of the London community. Motorist thought they were unfairly penalized, businesses feared they would lose trade because their customers and suppliers would stay away during crucial periods and others tried to fight it on the basis that it was an illegal act.
Most recently the Porsche Motor Company has threatened to take the matter to court because some of their sports cars would not meet the low emission target set.
The mayor triumphed and the initial £5 (about $10) charge to drive into Central London during peak times on Monday to Friday has since risen to £8 ($16) and is soon expected to rise again to £25 ($50) especially for those who drive big SUV's dubbed "Chelsea Tractors."
These are some key policies from the Mayors official website that he believes will win him a third term in office: Continue investing to transform London's transport system - continue improving bus services, modernize the Tube, build Cross-rail and improve London rail services through London Over ground to raise service and safety standards, while holding down fares; continue the six per cent reduction in crime each year; add a further 1,000 police over the next year to London's existing record police numbers and maintain a dedicated police team in every neighborhood; safeguard the policy that 50 per cent of new homes should be cheaper homes to buy and homes at affordable rents; build a minimum fifty thousand new affordable homes in the next three years; introduce 24 hour operation of the Freedom Pass; giving older and disabled Londoners free travel before 9am and throughout the day Extend the student travel discount to Oyster One Day Travel cards; maintain free travel for under-18s on the buses; a £25 ($50) a day charge for high carbon-emitting gas guzzlers to enter the central London congestion zone and no charge for the greenest cars, with a London-wide Low Emission Zone to keep the worst polluting Lorries out of London; maintain good community relations - continue to reduce racist attacks, down more than fifty per cent over eight years; and, build youth centers for our young people, including a £78m program to set up youth centers and improve youth services throughout London to provide safe facilities outside school hours.
The candidate who poses the biggest threat to the current mayor is Boris Johnson. Johnson's slogan is "Time for a change." He is widely seen as a viable alternative to Livingstone. Johnson is the MP for Henley, in Oxfordshire, and a member of the Conservative Party.
Boris Johnson has suggested that there should be an amnesty for illegal immigrants. This did not go down well with Conservative party leadership. But Johnson maintains that this would give a clearer picture of the numbers living in the capital which would then enable better funding from government. Local authorities have voiced their anger at missing out on government funds because of the hidden population.
During a recent campaign trail Johnson said people should vote for him because he is a journalist. Journalists have the skills a mayor would need – asking questions, getting answers, and championing causes.
In a poll conducted by the Evening Standard about one week ago-it showed Boris Johnson being 13 points ahead of Ken Livingstone; but as things really begin to hot-up that lead has been reduced to six points. But some claim that the Evening Standard poll is misleading because it fails to take into account London's ethnic minority population.
These are some of the key tenets Johnson hopes will favor him over the current mayor:
Transport;-scrap bendy buses. [These buses are infamous for two main reasons; the first is that several have burst into flames while on active service, a very scary moment for anyone unlucky enough to be caught in that situation; secondly, the ease with which someone can get a free ride on the bus because there are three entry points and you need not produce a valid ticket (should you elect not to) before boarding the bus thus losing the capital millions in lost revenue. In fact Londoners have christened this vehicle "The free bus." This so-called "free bus" is a godsend for anyone currently experiencing penury. It is quite an amusing site watching fare-dodgers leap off the bus once ticket inspectors come aboard].
Johnson says he will replace them with eco-friendly Route-masters with conductors and full access for disabled people. He plans to reform congestion charge and scrap the £25 ($50) levy on the most polluting cars. He would also introduce better cycling routes and safe cycling parking.
Housing: Increase the number of affordable homes, encourage building of more family homes with gardens and protect historic views.
Crime: Local community projects to steer young people away from crime--£2.6m ($5.2 million) on hand-held scanners and knife arches at transport hubs and a New York-style maps of criminal hotspots.
Environment: Supports low emission zone to improve air quality. Zero tolerance approach to littering and graffiti.
With about 350,000 Londoners expected to vote on May 1st 2008, there will be many more twist-and-turns before will get to the finishing hurdle just over two weeks from now.

There She Is, Myth America
Time for another mythbusting edition of HoseMaster of Wine! In this occasional series (see "You're Mything the Point" from the June 15th edition) I debunk myths about wine and the wine business for your edification. No need to thank me. Just doing my job.
Myth #1 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes.
This is a common assumption with no basis in fact. Most of the world insists that "wine" be produced 100% from grapes, except in Austria where you're allowed to use petroleum byproducts. But New Zealand's climate is lousy for wine grapes, so their Sauvignon Blancs are actually fermented Tasmanian devil urine (which is also used for most Australian Chardonnay). Oh sure, there are vineyards in New Zealand, but they're just a front, sort of like how MacDonald's pretends their hamburgers are made from actual meat. The grapes never ripen in those vineyards, they're just for show. And, as it turns out, there are only two producers of "Sauvignon Blanc" in New Zealand and they produce all of the Taz Blanc for the couple hundred labels you see in wine shops. This is easy to confirm. Conduct a blind tasting of fifteen "different" New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs and try to tell them apart! You can't. Because they're all from the same marsupials!! New Zealand "Pinot Noir" is a different story--it's made from sheep dung.
Myth #2 Wine Tasting is Subjective.
I love this one. This is what wine experts say to people who don't know shit about wine in order to avoid making them feel like their opinions are stupid. But nothing could be further from the truth. Most people's opinions about wine are, in fact, stupid, and only made worse by the fact that they think they are entitled to their opinions. There aren't three correct answers to a question on your driving test, there aren't six answers to a geometry problem, and, really, there aren't any real disagreements about wines. We wine experts just say wine preference is personal taste all the time because it's way too much work to teach you ignoramuses about the fundamentals of wine. We know what wines are actually perfect, fantastic, amazing, and when some imbecile says something like "It's too bitey" we just say, "Well, everyone's different. Just drink what you like." Which is essentially our way of telling you, "You're stupider than a Tim Fish 'Wine Spectator' feature." Don't believe it for a minute. Every wine has an objective and iron-clad rating. You're just not privy to it.
Myth #3 Robert Parker is still alive.
Just as Scientologists, who just lost their great champion in Eunice Kennedy Shriver, still profess that L. Ron Hubbard is alive, Parkerbots claim that Robert Parker is still alive. It's not true. RP died in 2004 when a 100 pound scale fell on him. But his death was covered up, mainly by the French and Australians who knew their sales and prices would plummet without his inflated ratings to sell them. A Parker impersonator was hired, a man equally skilled in butchering the language, who attends charity tastings where he is provided with a script ghostwritten for him by Rod McKuen. Many in the business who are aware of Parker's demise worry what will become of the wine industry when consumers become aware that the great man is dead. Where will they turn for advice? How will wine shops sell wine without the "RP" POS signs? Will they have to resort to actually knowing the wines they sell? And how far will the price of Bordeaux fall without the Wine Pope's blessings? Will they become as unsellable as high-end Australian Shiraz, which even with Parker's wholehearted endorsement people recognize as Bardahl? Who will decide the next California cult wine? Steve Heimoff? James Laube? Alder Yarrow? A different undiscovered industry suckup? It's going to be scary.
The late Mr. Parker getting a snootful of a TCA.
Myth #4 Corked wines are faulty.
There are a couple of myths rolled up in this one. First of all, the idea that a "corked" wine is caused by contamination from the cork. This is a lie cooked up by the folks who make and advocate screwtops, and has no basis in fact. The off-aroma that is defined as "corked" is caused by a chemical compound known as TCA, which is short for Tightly Clenched Anus. It's a result of the bottle of wine having been stored too close to a septic tank. Aside from that, there are actually many wine connoisseurs who prefer corked wines and actively seek them out. They love the specific quality of a corked wine, that alluring aroma of wet blogger, and feel that the corked bottle is superior to the noncorked bottle. Most of the time it is hard to disagree with them.

All eight of us who read this blog have already decided. Of course, there is a reason why there are only eight of us. And, Ron, look out, because Tom Wark now does videos and he could be catching up.

Hey Puff Daddy,
Tom Wark does videos? Holy crap. Who is he, Gary the Pinhead Vaynerchuk? I think Nostradamus indicates that is a sign that the Apocalypse is near. What next? CD's of Dan Berger slurping and spitting? These are like the nightmares I go to a therapist to get out of my head.
If I want to watch Tom on video I'll rent the "Gullibles Gone Wild" tapes.

There are actually 8 of us reading the Hosemaster blog? Wow...that's nearly as impressive as a 78 point rating.
The Wine Spectator is still in business?
Didn't I read someplace (maybe in a Dan Berger column?) that Parker is one of the Flying Elvises when he's not annointing Bordeaux wines with digitally-enhanced scores???
Shouldn't Wine Advocate scores for Italian wines be displayed in Roman numerals?
And, Mr. Charlie, don't ask "What the hell IV?"

USA: Ford CEO Says He's Green
Lana Pollack, executive director of the Michigan Environmental Council, likes William Clay Ford Jr. so much that she says she did a little jig on the sidewalk in front of the Ford Motor Co. headquarters after they met to exchange views.
"He's a real mensch," said Pollack, a former state legislator from Ann Arbor. "He not only cares a great deal about the environment but he's very knowledgeable. This is not a fashion statement with him. It's a reflection of his deepest values. So I expect good things from him. I wish him well."
Her praise was echoed Tuesday by other state and national environmental leaders. Many see him as the kind of chief executive officer who could lead not only his industry but other multinational corporations into a new era of sustainability.
His commitment to the environment will be tested in adding the job of chief executive officer to his role as chairman, though.
"It is easier to espouse those positions when you aren't making the day-to-day decisions," said Efraim Levy, an auto analyst with Standard & Poor's in New York. "I think he'll still be an advocate for more green products, but I also think he'll tone down some of his stances when faced with the complexities of the marketplace."
"To me, my environmental ethic is an easy fit here," Ford said at a news conference Tuesday. "The way I view environmental leadership in this company is really one of technological application. It doesn't mean we'll do extraneous things outside our core focus, but rather introducing technology into our core business that allows us to maintain or improve on environmental expectations."
Those environmentalists who know Ford personally tend to give him high marks. Several leading thinkers on environmental issues who have not had one-on-one contact with Ford criticized him as not doing enough to curb emissions from his company's less fuel-efficient sport-utility vehicles.
For years, Ford has been making headlines with his proclamations on environmental topics. He also has been committing his own time and money to local environmental causes while pushing for change at the automaker.
In a keynote speech to a Greenpeace convention in London a year ago, Ford said that companies will not survive unless they can produce goods in a way that will sustain the planet's resources.
Ford also turned some heads around Detroit by predicting that the days of the internal combustion engine are numbered.
"Fuel cells, which run on hydrogen, a renewable resource, have zero emissions," he said. "Longer term, I believe that fuel cells will finally end the 100-year reign of the internal combustion engine. . . . Fuel cells could be the predominant power source in 25 years."
While Ford has won over some mainstream environmentalists, he still has skeptics.
Jane Holtz Kay, author of "Asphalt Nation," which looks at America's dependency on cars, dismisses Ford's forays into environmentalism as insignificant.
"He's a car guy," Kay said Tuesday. "He may actually believe that he's trying to become more ecologically sound and worker friendly, but it's basically greenwash. It comes off to me as a series of hypocritical gestures. He's a power broker for a polluting machine. I think he could do much more in the way of mass transportation."
The social justice organization CorpWatch bestowed its Greenwash Award on the automaker in April 2000 for launching a huge public relations campaign called "Heroes for the Planet" while the average fuel efficiency of the company's fleet was getting worse due to increasing sales of SUVs.
Still, Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute gives the new chief executive high marks for trying.
"I like and admire him," said Lovins, a well-known auto industry critic. "He's a leader in an industry that too often is run by managers. Both the company and the country need that kind of leadership now."
Lovins described Ford as "head of the pack" among auto executives and "one of the top half-dozen corporate leaders in the country who want to make their companies green both ways," doing well by the environment while earning money.
Dan Becker of the Sierra Club's Washington office points out that Japanese automakers were the first to reach the U.S. market with cars that can switch between the use of gasoline and the use of cleaner-burning fuel cells. Ford and the other U.S. automakers are still developing their hybrid cars.
"So now the Japanese are seizing the high-tech mantle," Becker said. "If Ford is seen as a company that doesn't use modern technology, where does that leave them?
"He's not a protest-in-the-streets environmentalist. He's a hike-in-the-woods environmentalist. It will be interesting to see if an enlightened CEO can make the company more environmentally responsive," said Becker, who was invited to lunch by Ford about six months ago.
The company has made major strides in recent years toward reducing pollution from its plants worldwide and increasing the use of recyclable materials. But Becker and other environmentalists say that the company's largest impact on the environment comes not from the manufacturing process but from the carbon dioxide that Ford vehicles emit.
Numerous scientists believe that increasing carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere is leading to climate change.
In perhaps his most important acknowledgement of environmental concerns, Ford admitted in May 2000 that the vehicles emblazoned with his family name contribute to climate change. Earlier this year, he issued an environmental audit of his company that spelled out its contribution to climate change. Worldwide, about a third of all carbon dioxide emissions come from vehicles.
Ford also has pulled his company out of an industry consortium that had been lobbying against efforts to curb carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, he has pledged to significantly increase the fuel efficiency of his company's SUVs beyond government requirements.
Ford has lent his name and his political clout to efforts to restore the Detroit River, preserve pockets of nature throughout the state and build a network of trails and other natural corridors in southeast Michigan.
In addition, Ford is rebuilding his company's historic Rouge Plant with the intention of making it into a showpiece of environmental sensitivity.
Through the Ford Motor Company Fund, the chief executive has helped steer millions of dollars to environmental organizations in recent years. Last February, the fund contributed $5 million to the Audubon Society, the largest contribution in the society's history. The fund also made a 5-year, $25-million gift to Conservation International for the creation of a Center for Environmental Leadership.
Ford, an avid outdoorsman, occasionally has run afoul of his rural neighbors. In the early 1990s he and his sister sued the state in an effort to limit access to the Sturgeon River near the family's 2,000-acre retreat in northern Michigan. The agency compromised by moving a path. More recently, neighbors of a Colorado development partly owned by Ford have criticized him for failing to keep the land undeveloped.

Loloi Nomad Diamond Jute Rug
Reminiscent of classic tribal designs, this rug draws inspiration from traditional nomadic textiles while keeping in mind modern day style. A bold and beautiful addition to any space, the plush hand-knotted pile makes it welcome under foot, and its aqua diamond pattern makes it welcomed by your inner interior designer. Artisan crafted in India from 100% natural jute.

Using natural fibers such as jute instead of synthetic fibers reduces the amount of energy and waste that is produced when rugs are made. Moreover, natural fibers have a multitude of benefits for the people and the envrionment. Here are a few:Natural fibers have ventillation built into them which makes them great for clothing and for home products.Products made from natural fibers are sustainable as they are 100% biodegradeable. Choosing natural fibers also helps support small farmers from around the world who rely on the culitvation of these plants for their livelihoods.
Featuring rich colors, ethnic patterns, and an earthy 100% jute fiber, the Nomad Collection from India pays homage to tribal design while updating the look for today's interiors. The thick, hand-knotted pile and bold design make for an eye-catching centerpiece in any room.
Clean spills, including water, immediately by blotting with a clean sponge or cloth. Avoid exposure to all liquids. Professional cleaning recommended. Rug pad recommended for use on hard floor. Expect shedding. For vacuuming, use a vacuum cleaner without beater bar or one where you can set the bar to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has variable power settings, set on low. Vacuum full length of the rug, turn and repeat to the next area, rather than back and forth motion. Pile Height 0.25"

A new day, a new H1N1 conspiracy theory! But this one is special. Ken Welch says on his blog, before treating us to an extremely detailed analysis:
We've recently learned the secret behind the Swine Flu Vaccine that is being pushed so strongly on the public. While the vaccine may make you sick, its real purpose is to greatly increase the fast-kill mechanism of the pandemic still to come. Worse yet, the vaccine is being used to target specific groups of people who are simply not welcome in our brave new world.
In the USA these include Blacks, American Indians, and Baby Boomers.

The world has changed drastically in a short amount of time. Once the premiere world power, the United States now hobbles along, crippled by economic depression. All nations of the world feel the resulting shockwaves and face difficulties of their own. As people lose faith in their ailing, bankrupt governments, the corporations rise up with slogans of hope. Billboards of charity. Commercial breaks of brotherly love.
The Internet gives way to the Ultranet - a darkfiber mesh that spans the entire globe. Virtuality becomes a way of life for millions of people seeking to leave the troubles of the real world behind. Quantum computers emerge. Integrated circuits are reduced in size to an atomic scale. Sythetic Intelligence is born.
The Alphagenome is developed; a genetic map for a super-human. One-hundred test embryos are developed, few survive beyond the first week after conception. The pharmaceutical firm behind Alphagenome begins taking pre-orders from prospective Alphagen parents.
Fossil Fuels dwindle, causing further economic strain. Scientists around the globe work to develop a renewable energy source to replace the combustion engine. It is widely accepted that whoever wins the race will likely replace the United States as the world's broker for wealth. Most technology firms persue the practical source: Nuclear Fusion. However, there are a few government-sanctioned projects involving more radical concepts such as the singularity drive.

DrCoolZic wrote:Question on GUI:
You have a very nice track analyzer GUI. What is nice is that in track or disk view the status windows display the content of the sector. However on Windows 8 I do not succeed in "freezing" the display on a specific sector so I can use the scroll bar to look at content. I have tried to right click without success. In track mode if I go out of the sector quickly sometimes it still display the sector, but in disk mode no chance to freeze on what you want to look at.
DrCoolZic wrote:How do you do a full HD export?
A quick question I have noticed that Aufit display the layout using the "inverse" rotation for the disk.
I believe a floppy disk is rotating counterclockwise? Therefore the flux transitions are layout clockwise
IN this case Aufit seems to be right ?
what do you think?
DrCoolZic wrote:Another question: seems like you use the color red to indicate unformated?
or is it "out of range" transitions?
I can see on side one some red "dots". They seems to be located in the "write splice" area. With Aufit I can see by zooming that there a are only few transitions out of band. Does that correspond to these reds dots.
DrCoolZic wrote:The subject of unformated areas and fuzzy bits area is not easy ... Perso I am using Shannon entropy function to detect unformated. It has the advantage to be fast but does not work all time?
For fuzzy bit it is easy inside a sector but for a track it is more tricky as they could be located anywhere. However to be useful they must be located after at least one sync mark.
If I remember correctly one of our discussion for all these you divide the track in blocks and try to match them from one rev to the next. Problem is that these blocks must be shifted from one rev to the next for many reason.
So are you using some sort of sliding of blocks until they match?
DrCoolZic wrote:Again if blocks are align with sync mark it is easy otherwise you will find fuzzy bits in the "sector splice area" (where WG is turned on/off for writing sector). This only happen if the disk has been written on an Atari as this does not exist on mastering machine.
DrCoolZic wrote:So another question is HxC capable of finding if an image is from an original made on a mastering machine or from a copy on an Atari?
The CTA program from SPS people is suppose to be able to detect if you have an original or a copy? I have thought about that for quite some times and the only idea that come to my mind is that it must be by detecting the presence of "sector write splice" but probably I should ask them
DrCoolZic wrote:How do you do a full HD export?
JimDrew wrote:That's a neat display, Jeff!
As for the direction - when the disk is rotating counter-clockwise, are those tracks skewed forwards or backwards when stepping fom track 0 to track 79?
Hippy Dave wrote:Software that displays an image should show what one would see if they were to look at the actual object. Thus, the disk should be shown from the side that the read/write had contacts the media. The software should also show the direction the media is moving. Note that the top of a spinning disk spins counter to the bottom as viewed from an external frame of reference. Other pictorial representations should be unambiguous to avoid confusion.
DrCoolZic wrote:Hum strange behavior?
In batch conversion I specify a source directory that contains 3 directories (for three games) each of them contains directories with actual disk images (several on a multi disk game).
Seems like HxCFloppyEmulator only reads the first directory and stops?

|Holistic Fertility Consulting
Wise Woman Fertility is about the ancient tradition of women healing women. In the times of our ancestors, our Mothers knew the secrets to heal their families and their communities. From taking care of childhood illnesses to healing the ailments of their elders, women were always sought after for their wisdom and intuition. But women were never so much needed as they were regarding issues unique to women, namely fertility, pregnancy and childbirth. It was here that village "wise women" would travel on foot or by carriage, in all conditions and all seasons, to assist other women in their times of need. Slowly, as our world became smaller, women grew further apart. Lost were many of the great traditions of our ancestors. But not all.
J. Rivkah Asoulin has been gathering fragments of these traditions and piecing them together to help women and couples overcome their fertility struggles and other women's health related issues. By using such time-honored practices as Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), EFT, Herbalism, Aromatherapy, Nutrition and Intuition, J. Rivkah has enjoyed tremendous success rates with her clients. But most importantly, J. Rivkah enjoys passing along the traditions of the Wise Women to the future generation of Wise Women, one woman at a time.


text: Weston-Super-Mare -The pews at St Paul's Church are full of worshippers but they're not praying; instead they're all logged onto Twitter and Facebook."Today is a Twitter Sunday so it's time to get your Twitter on," intones Brian Champness, the children's pastor of the Anglican church in the southwestern English seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare."If you have a question, tweet it and will see if we can get some questions answered," he tells the congregation.Six flatscreen televisions hang from the pillars of the 100-year-old church showing the tweets of the faithful as Champness delivers his sermon.The church also has a wi-fi network with the password: "Abraham 123."The project is the brainchild of Andrew Alden, the vicar of the church, who says that he is following in the footsteps of Christians from the past two millennia.The youthful looking 47-year-old introduced Twitter Sundays at the start of the year and they now take place about once a month."The Romans had roads and that enabled them to travel and take the message out; in the medieval period they had printing presses and that enabled them to print and get the message out," Alden said."Today we have Twitter and the Internet, YouTube, we have Facebook, these are the tools that God has given us to get the message out."In most churches, using a smartphone or laptop during the Sunday service would be frowned upon at best.But here, many members of the congregation are logged on. One teenager is updating his Facebook profile, a dad is looking up a recipe.Others, meanwhile, are using the technology to give their reaction to the Sunday sermon."Can a feasting on positive words & blessing, & a fast on negativity change our town in 14 days? Lets give it a go!" says @rev2bshaz, a member of the congregation.The tweet appears on the screens for everyone to see.Then come more, like one from parishioner Charlotte Pike: "Is what you think the same as what you say? Can it have the same repercussions ?""Excellent question!" says Champness, whose iPad lies next to his red-leather covered Bible on his wooden pulpit.The sermon "is not just a monologue where we just chair for half an hour, and this is the information we give you. It actually becomes a conversation, which is one of the way Jesus actually talked. He asked questions," Champness says.The parishioners themselves have mixed views about mixing Twitter and the word of God."Tweeting during sermons helps me concentrate," says Carmen Rogers, a 21-year-old teaching assistant."Otherwise you can kind of drift off and its like being at a lecture. If you are not taking notes, it does not really sink in. If I take notes during the talks, it helps me to concentrate on the talk better."Penny Hynds, 48, opened a Twitter account especially for the church services."I find it makes me consolidate what is being said into little snappy comments, so it makes me learn better," she said.But Adrian Stone, 50, said it was "distracting"."I want to listen, so I would do a small comment and stop. I'm not that good with technology," he said, adding that by the time he had thought about something to tweet, then typed it out and edited "the service is over."Naomi Dunn, 44, said she hadn't even tried."I talk a lot and I would not be able to make sense in 140 something characters!" she said of the social networking site's limit for individual postings.Alden said it was necessary to take a 21st century approach in order to counter falling numbers of churchgoers and the growing disaffection with organised religion."Young adults are increasingly spare in the church in our nation. So using social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube is a way we felt that we could engage with that missing generation," he said."The message is the same, the medium is different."The method is bearing fruit, he adds, with the congregation at St Paul's doubling in five years.But he admits that many older constituents are reluctant to take part."There is a major hurdle here in terms of getting a mobile phone out in a public setting, they feel it's rude," he said.The church also exercises some control over what gets tweeted during services.Local doctor Mike Pimm monitors all the messages from his computer at the end of the nave to ensure that nothing inappropriate appears on screen.This Sunday one of the censored tweets includes: "Is everybody smaller than our vicar?"But he also keeps himself amused by letting some lighthearted tweets through."Can't understand a word that bloke's saying", wrote @robcromwell -- parishioner Rob Cromwell -- referring to Champness's Australian accent.

CBD Oil Spray in Memphis
CBD Oil Sprays And Skin Care Products By Hemp genix
With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within CBD Oil Spray products.
Cannabis CBD Oil Sprays come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. CBD Oil Sprays have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.
CBD Skin Care by Hempgenix in Memphis
Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.
CBD Lotion are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated.
It's also worth noting that CBD Oil Skin Care In Memphis are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It's worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.
That said, CBD Oil Skin Care In Memphis can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They're also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Oil Spray contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. CBD Oil Skin Care In Memphis has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.
CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They'll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. It's not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD Lotion in Memphis become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn't keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it's hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD Oil Spray thus far.
THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD Skin Care has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Oil Skin Care in Memphis , but it's clear that we're many steps closer than ever before.

Research about CBD is still in the beginning stages. This is thanks to the evolving laws in states like California and Colorado that have begun to note that marijuana has a wide variety of medicinal benefits. CBD pain relief cream has helped multiple patients in states where marijuana is medically legal, and has allowed them to enjoy relief of numerous symptoms.
Much of the research about marijuana has been focused on its THC content. This has left researchers with much difficulty learning about the other ingredients in the plant. The last several decades, however, have taught us that CBD and other parts of the plant can provide many benefits to patients who choose to use them to treat their symptoms.
However, it is crucially important to be sure that you get your CBD cream from a distributor who is authorized. States that are authorized to retail medical marijuana have strict rules about making and distributing these types of creams. Learn about the regulations where you are, and be sure that anything you purchase follows these rules.
It's also important that you learn how much of the cream to use, as well as the precise way to apply it. Ingredients of the cream are always absorbed through your skin, so it can be tough to sort out the right dosage for you at first. Some individuals will recommend that you start a chart when you begin to use the cream, noting the result that you're achieving. For instance, you can note your pain levels when you first begin to apply the cream.
Write down how much of it you use on which are of your body, as well as the brand you've used. Also note how you're feeling fifteen minutes after application, a half hour later, and then after a full our. Keep a log like this, and over time you'll have the right dosage to use for the level of pain that you're experiencing. You'll also know where to apply the cream to your body, as different areas may respond to the cream in different ways. This makes it essential that you keep a careful record of all the areas that you use the cream on your body, so that you'll have a complete understanding of your results.
You'll be able to use CBD pain relief in the states where it is now legal, and it will help you to obtain long lasting freedom from the aches and pains that you currently have. You'll be able to permanently say goodbye to your chronic pain, using a good quality CBD pain relief cream.

CBD Topicals From Herb Genix
If you've ever come across the likes of CBD topicals in online shops or even one your local health stores, you're likely left wondering why you should ever put CBD anywhere on the outside of your body in the first place. The general thought surrounding this type of product is that CBD has to be ingested in order for it to provide any usefulness. The truth however is that it works just as well even if it's used externally.
Believe it or not, cannabinoids such as CBD really do work internally and externally alike. In regards to the latter, topicals are among the most rapidly growing means of cannabinoid use. There's actually quite a large variety of cannabinoid rich products currently being sold that are meant only for external usage.
1 - What Is Wholesale Topical CBD Skin Care?
As more research is conducted on THC, the endocannabinoid system, and CBD, many new ways to use products based on cannabinoids are being developed. The advancements over the last few years have honestly been staggering. One of the major breakthroughs was in making them effective when applied to the skin.
Cannabis topicals are often made in the form of lotion, oil, salves, and balms. Any sort of topical cream or oil you can think of has already been given the cannabinoid treatment. Products of this kind are made with active cannabinoids that are absorbed into your system directly through your skin. Topicals can owe their popularity in recent times largely to the wide variety of products available. CBD has even made its way into lip balms, body butters, general cosmetics for the skin, and a number of hair care products.
2 - How Do Wholesale CBD Topicals Like This Work?
Instead of taking CBD hemp oil by mouth, a topical application of cannabinoids means they can absorb into the treated area in a much faster manner. The resulting effects will have a much more focused onset. Orally ingested CBD affects the entire body, and it may take as long as 2 whole hours to work.
Given its nature as such a minimally invasive means of using CBD, the topical cannabinoid method is favored by many consumers that are just barely dipping their toe into the much larger pool of the hemp oil industry at large. Many people are hesitant to take CBD oil orally. An external application feels much safer for a first time experience, especially given the targeted response.
CBD oil topical products are non-psychoactive, much the same as all hemp oil products. Since the cannabinoids are reacting along with CB2 receptors located close to the skin, they never reach the bloodstream at all. The endocannabinoid system is activated immediately upon the oil working its way through the skin.
Since human skin has shown to have such a low rate of absorption for cannabinoids, the application has to be quite heavy. Think of it as a barrier that you're pushing through. As such, CBD topicals generally direct consumers to implement a liberal application to the desired area. CBD is much more prone to penetrating through the skin in comparison to THC however, and it's also a lot more likely to engage the CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This makes CBD a much more popular choice for creating cannabis derived topicals. CBD also has a lot of hemp content, making hemp a great source for CBD topicals.
3 - How Should CBD Oil Topicals Be Used?
Hemp Genix has a wide variety of topical CBD oil products in the online shop. Hemp oil sales made by Dixie Botanicals and RSHO are among the most popular options currently available. Fully infused with CBD, the salves can be worked into the skin, muscles, and joints all throughout the day, as liberally and often as desired.
CBD infused skin products made by Cannabis Beauty Defined are also quite popular. This is a line of skin care products with anti-aging properties. They include moisturizers, toners, exfoliators, and serums along the CBD oil. There are also a mixture of herbal extracts included to make sure the skin is well pampered. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance to the treated area.
Hemp Genix also sells an assortment of CBD coffees and oil sprays, along with various other products meant for eating and drinking. There's also CBD infused body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizers. As such, your entire bathing and showering regimen can be bolstered by the benefits of hemp oil.

Ron Cook and Vinnie Richichi hold down the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. slot on Pittsburgh's 93.7 The Fan. Four hours can be a lot of time to fill for five days a week, even in a town with a hockey team on a winning streak, an NCAA-bound college basketball team, the Steelers just being the Steelers, and something something something the Pirates yeah whatever.
For some reason, Noo Yawk Vinnie took a little time yesterday to tell his listeners all about buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan. Except Richichi—hilariously and earnestly—kept saying something else, over and over and over again, confident he was using the right word. Cook, none the wiser, went right along with it. "Makes about as much sense to me sometimes as baseball does." Cook was trying to make a joke there. He had no idea how funny it actually was.

Going Offline
Oct 20th, 2009 by Aunt Jean
It seems like this blog just came back online. I am taking two weeks vacation, and have decided to go computerless for that time. The computer is so much a part of my work, it really would be hard to get away from work without getting away from the computer. And my body really needs a break from sitting at a keyboard; it will be a big help in getting completely recuperated from the car accident I was in this summer.
I will try my hand (literally) at writing blog posts with pen and paper to post later, and might even need to write some Twitter "tweets" on paper just to get them out of my system.
I'll still use the iPhone, which is admittedly just a small computer you can make calls with, for phone, calendar and address book purposes. All other iPhone apps (including all the apps for the kids) are going to be moved off the home page. My cool aunt rating is going to drop, I know…
We'll see how it goes. Maybe I'm too addicted and you'll see me running panicked back to the keyboard at the first pangs of withdrawal.

At the heart of California's budget troubles are a pair of supermajorities. One is the requirement of a two-thirds vote to raise taxes, a famous limit that was part of Prop 13, the 1978 ballot initiative best known for putting limits on property taxes. The other supermajority -- the requirement of a two-thirds vote to pass a budget -- is even older, dating to the Great Depression.
California is the only state in the union that requires two-thirds votes for both budgets and tax hikes -- a double-barreled requirement that has tied our government in knots. Two-thirds is supposed to be a force for consensus, but in practice, this two-thirds budget system has amounted to minority rule. In each budget negotiation, the majority party (the Democrats in this era) has to bed, plead and bribe minority Republicans to pass a budget. Those bribes often consist of new spending, tax cuts, or questionable borrowing that add to the state's fiscal problems.
But that could change -- as soon as this fall. On Friday, the Democrats and labor unions supporting an initiative to eliminate one of these two supermajorities -- the 2/3 requirements for budgets -- will file signatures to qualify the measure for the November ballot. Getting the measure passed will be an uphill fight -- Californians have grown accustomed to two-thirds -- but if they succeed, it would be a seismic shift at least politically.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Unfortunately, a majority-vote budget might not make the budget much healthier. Democrats would be able to pass a budget -- and thus mandate spending -- without Republicans. But the GOP would still have the weapon of the two-thirds vote on taxes to block revenue increases. In practice, a majority-vote budget with a supermajority for taxes could be the worst of both worlds: more Democratic spending, more Republican blocking of the tax increases required to pay for that spending, and an even bigger budget hole.
As a policy matter, it'd be better to get rid of both supermajorities. But getting rid of 2/3 for taxes would require changing the near-holy Prop 13.

Nevertheless, despite its popularity there are still a number of downsides that you have to consider.
When you're thinking of purchasing a Panasonic MC-4620, make sure that you're familiar of is different sides: the good, the bad, and the things that make it unique despite its flaws.
The MC-4620 is a straight-suction vacuum cleaner, which means it has superior power.
With its 11-amp motor attached to the cleaning equipment, you are assured that this can definitely work wonders, especially if you're talking about deep cleaning.
It's quite small, which makes it very convenient to use and carry around all over the house.
MC-4620 – The Pros
You may think that because the Panasonic MC-4620 is technically small, all other important parts are greatly compromised. But that's not the case; in spite of the size, it has a comprehensive filtration system, of about 5 layers.
This way, you can get rid of allergens and other bacteria that may cause further health problems to household members. The dirt cup, on the other hand, can hold as much as 2.5 quarts of dust and dirt. You don't need to continuously empty the bags.
The handle of Panasonic MC-4620 is easy on the hands, and you can conveniently turn the switch on and off, which is found in the vacuum cleaner's body. There is also an LED indicator for your filters, just in case you need to clean or even change them with something new just for maintenance purposes.
Panasonic MC-4620 vacuum cleaner is ergonomic. You can also easily store the cleaning equipment when you are already done using this.
If there's one thing that you would definitely love about MC-4620 from Panasonic, it will be its excellent performance when it comes to wood floors.
Even if you're covering thousand feet of dust and grime, the suction power of this vacuum cleaner doesn't lose its efficiency.
Hence, you are confident that you can definitely get rid of pollutants that may have lingered in this kind of surface.
You can also take advantage of the 1-year warranty, just in case something happens to your machine.
MC-4620 – The Cons
One of the biggest challenges of the Panasonic MC-4620 canister vacuum cleaner is its wand. First of all, it tends to come off easily unless you try to fit it in really hard.
The brush, which you may need when you definitely like to remove the presence of dust and dirt that may have stuck in carpets, cannot be attached to the vacuum cleaner unless you add the crevice tool first.
Moreover, despite being bagless, there are still a number of its present consumers that are having problems with it. This is because it still doesn't solve clogging. The handle too, in spite of being so comfortable in your hand, may easily come off, and the dirt will eventually fly everywhere.
In the end, though, Panasonic MC-4620 is still a great cleaning machine. You can never underestimate the suction power of this vacuum cleaner, which is one of the best in the industry.
There's no such thing as a perfect vacuum cleaning equipment, but the MC-4620 bagless canister is definitely worth your try.

Video: JBL Soundbars
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Not feeling the impact from your television's tiny built-in speakers? What if we told you that with AC power and one cable from your television we could up your audio game noticeably — with a little help from JBL, of course. They offer three soundbar models, including one with a separate wireless subwoofer.
Video Transcript
Zak: I'm at CES 2013 with Chris from Harman. Chris, tell me about these JBL sound bars.
Chris: Well, Zak, we're really excited to launch three new JBL sound bars. Obviously the sound bar is a very fast-growing category. More and more people want a real simple solution to be able to bring surround sound into their home and to use with their flat panel televisions. So we have three very simple solutions that step up in performance and features that allow the customer to get the best surround in their house.
And the first sound bar we have is the JBL SB 100. Basic sound bar, has great JBL sound so it's got great low end, has a built-in woofer. It's got clear high dynamic range. It's got a bracket which you bracket on the wall or you can actually put it on a table top. There's actually a little switch on the back that actually EQs this sound bar for the best possible performance depending on how you are going to use it. So it's very affordable, great sound, it's a great way to get into the sound bar category.
For a little bit better sound and for Bluetooth connectivity — everybody's using Bluetooth now with all their mobile devices — is the Sound Bar 200. So it gives you Bluetooth and it also has a built-in subwoofer. So you'll definitely hear a step up in the low-end bass on that Sound Bar 200, so it really kind of puts you in the movie, really gives you that cinematic experience.
Now the flagship that we're just coming to market with is the Sound Bar 400. It actually has a separate stand-alone 8" 200 watt powered subwoofer. It's also the biggest bar that we have, so it fits a lot of today's larger flat panel televisions that people are buying. In addition to that it includes three HDMI inputs with Audio Return Channel so it almost kind of functions like a receiver so it gives you a lot more connectivity than you find in a traditional sound bar and it also has Bluetooth. And obviously with a separate subwoofer you have a really dynamic sound. It can play very loud. It can fill large spaces and really gives you that surround experience with very simple, easy connectivity and hook up.
Zak: Great. Thanks Chris. That's JBL's sound bars.
