Not exactly the most pressing question, but... I'm having trouble finding certain goods (groceries) in my area (neither Carrefour nor the massive Hyundai Dept. store here in Mokdong have what I'm after), and would like to see if Wal-Mart is any better. I know that there is a Wal-Mart somewhere in Kangnam; can anyone give me more specific directions? Thanks... Back to top DerrekJoined: 15 Jan 2003 Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2003 8:05 pm Post subject: Dogok I don't know about Kangnam... that one's news to me, but there is one in the Dogok area on the orange line. It's hell to find though. If you take the bus up the big hill from Dogok station to Lotte Department store, you can almost see the top of Wal-mart peeking out in the distance. It's a 5 to 7 minute walk to Wal-mart from Lotte Dept. Store. Not at all easy to find, but basically, after you reach the Lotte, if you keep going until you hit a main road, take a left and go up that hilly road, and Wal-Mart is on the left. It's not its own building.... it's down in the bottom of one.

Hope this helps. You might want to check out Costco in Yangjae but it is not convenient to get to without a car.Last edited by lawyertood on Fri Jan 31, 2003 1:08 am; edited 2 times in total Back to top BulsajoJoined: 16 Jan 2003 Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2003 4:18 am Post subject: My info is out of date by over a year, but I never found Wal-Mart to have anything particularly special in the way of foreign products/groceries. It felt like a Kim's Club but with 'Wal-Mart' written on the bags. I think it's bus 78-3 that takes you within a block of it. I thought the Carrefour in Bundang or the Dept store supermarkets were better. For me Costco was definitely the place to go for groceries etc. You can catch a bus from Samsung sta. (just above Coex mall, southbound traffic side) or Yangjae sta. (near the pedestrian overpass, north side) that will bring you across the street from Costco. Memory is hazy, but I believe it was bus 11 or perhaps 10-3. Back to top lighthouse1971Joined: 22 Jan 2003Location: Seoul Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2003 11:42 pm Post subject: Costco The 11-3 goes to Costco from Sports Complex, past Samseong/COEX through Daechi/Dogok past Yangjae Station and then on to Costco and to Gwacheon after that. The 97-2 starts at Nonhyeon Station, goes through Kangnam station and Yangjae station and then past Costco and to Gwacheon after that. There is also a Costco up on northern line 7 somewhere. I think it's close to Sagajeong Station...or is it Sangbong...not exactly sure. Good luck!

France and Germany have agreed to a plan that will get each state a 12% voting stake in European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. N.V. (EADSY, EAD.FR), French daily Les Echos reported Monday on its website, without citing specific sources.
With their combined 24% and Spain with 4%, the three states can avoid a 30% threshold that would require them to off to buy the company's remaining shares, the newspaper said.
France would park another 3% stake in EADS outside of the arrangement, the newspaper said.
The deal will pave the way for Daimler AG (DDAIY, DAI.XE) of Germany and Lagardere SCA (MMB.FR) to divest their respective stakes in EADS, the newspaper said.
The arrangement would give France and Germany equal say in strategic decisions for the company, Les Echos reported.

MACON, Ga. (March 10, 2010) - After helping the No. 72 ETSU men's tennis team extend its Atlantic Sun Conference winning streak to 36, while helping the Bucs post their 47-straight home match win at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center over the weekend, junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) was named the A-Sun Male Tennis Player of the Week the league announced, Wednesday.
Wednesday's decoration is the second A-Sun honor for Teraz this season, after he won the award back on February 10. The only other Buc to win the award this season was sophomore Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) who took the honor February 3.
Individually, Teraz anchored the top of the Bucs strong singles lineup this past week. As conference play opened, the Mojstrana, Slovenia native rolled past Kennesaw State's Tyler Mills and Mercer's Evandro Rosindo in No. 1 singles action. Not to be outdone in non-conference action, Teraz stood as a key figure in ETSU's 4-3 comeback win against No. 48 UNC Wilmington, Tuesday.
After dropping his first set 6-1 and then evening the match with a 6-2 second set win, Teraz and UNC Wilmington's Kinshuk Sharma battled throughout the third, forcing a tiebreaker to decided the contest. Down 4-0, Teraz showed his heart and determination with a dramatic comeback, breaking four of Sharma's serves for a 7-5 tiebreaker win, which led to the Bucs' victory.
In addition to his singles victories Teraz, along with freshman doubles teammate Juan-Carlos Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay),posted a pair of wins versus Mercer and Kennesaw State.
Currently, the junior business major leads the A-Sun with a No. 85 ITA singles ranking.

Shotgun slugs
I have a Marlin Goose for years, first thing I was told was NO SLUGS. I assumed the 36in smooth bore was the reason, What other s/guns are not good for slugs and why.

The only reason you could not or should not shoot a rifled slug in a smooth bore is the choke being so restricted to create a dangerous situation. Not sure why you could not shoot a rifled slug unless it has an extra full choke but you need to follow manufacturer directions. Try Dixie Slugs Tri-Ball, it will kill anything on earth.

It probably has a full choke and really shouldn't be used with slugs. If you only wanted it for slug purposes you could shorten the barrel therefore removing the choke .

It probably has a full choke……a very full choke if it's a typical goose gun.

very full ? it's even more so if it's choked for lead shot . My Benelli with STEEL shot and MOD choke gives me a EXTRA EXTRA FULL pattern !!
That's because steel doesn't deform and the cup is extra thick .
Lesson --always pattern your ammo !
My solution was to think turkey and head shots and I was very successful that way.

Mossberg 3-1/2 chamber barrels are over-bored, I don't know about the 3".
I think that's the reason behind not shooting slugs in them, you may not achieve a proper gas seal,or may induce excessive yaw,could be dazed and confused though:rolleyes

A Mossberg 12 Gauge Model 835 is overbored to .775". Don't shoot a slug from one of them - a chance of the slug getting sideways in the bore and possibly sticking.
As far as the Goose Gun goes, The only choke claim for them I've ever seen is Full Choke. That's 0.40" of constriction. Any Foster rifled slug can be fired through a full choke with no problems. I've seen a measurement of 0.695" for the choke on a Goose Gun, which would indicate a slight overbore from the 0.729" nominal bore size to 0.735", not enough to pose any danger from firing slugs.

common misinformation
Its not unusual to hear "no slugs" in reference to full choke. But measurements and metallurgy will allow it. Common Foster slugs rattle down the bore of most 12 ga's anyhow. They will clatter through the choke and go their merry way.
Not recommended for accuracy, but in most cases, possible and safe. Only thing I can think of is if somebody pressed/sleeved a choke tube in the gun that is absurdly tight. But a factory, fixed, full choke will handle a slug, though likely not w/ best accuracy.

This will work
Brenneke USA Black Magic Short Magnum Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz Lead Rifled Slug will work in any type of barrel - rifled or smooth and are very accurate in a smooth bore and hard hitting

Remington Model 11
I have a Remington Model 11. Shells are not chambering. I can manually chamber the first round fine. Spent shells eject when the shotgun cycles but the next round doesn't chamber and jams. It seems like the round is not getting kicked up into the receiver. Any ideas what my problem is and how I fix it.

Viking, there's a couple things to do, some of which are for a smith.
First, some 11s were chambered for ammo shorter than what we use now. A smith can tell by measuring the chamber, and while he/she has it, have them deep clean the action. Browning designs are famously overbuilt, but tolerances are tight and there's lots of little parts in there. While you're at it, have the smith install new springs and friction pieces,keep the old ones as spares. Browning A5 parts will interchange, at least these will but not others.
Inside the forearm wood is probably a diagram of how the friction pieces go together for loads of various power. If not there. mayhap someone here will post a link.
Once running, stick to 2 3/4" ammo.These are not magnums but are fine old workhorse shotguns.

Fishing & Boat Charters
Every true angler has that one special fishing spot, the one place he or she can always count on to reel one in. Not surprisingly, many have come to refer to their special spot as Massachusetts, where you'll find an extraordinary amount of great freshwater and saltwater fishing, all four seasons.
For freshwater fishing, you'll enjoy more than 500 lakes, ponds, rivers and streams stocked annually with trout, bass, herring, salmon and many other varieties. Venues range from the ice-cold streams of the Berkshire Hills to the mighty Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers.
If you're a saltwater angler, on the other hand, you will be treated to the likes of bluefish, tuna, cod, haddock, halibut and sea bass onboard charter boats, leaving from numerous Massachusetts ports in the Cape and the Islands region and up and down the coastlines.
If you're docking in Nantucket, consider the Nantucket Boat Basin. You'll have access to bathrooms, showers, electric, gas, internet connections, and more.
For more information about fishing in Massachusetts, please visit Massachusetts Dept. of Fish and Game
Watch a video on fishing the coast of Massachusetts from the Division of Marine Fisheries.

Footloose (US - DVD R1 | BD)
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced the new 2011 movie
Starring: Kenny Wormald
Released: 6th March 2012
SRP: Prices TBC
Further Details:
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo releases of Footloose which stars Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Andie MacDowell, and Dennis Quaid. Each will be available to own from March 6th. We have no word on any extra material, apart of a digital copy on the Blu-ray/DVD Combo release. Further details as and when we get them.
Quote: The 1984 classic is now the modern hit that will make you stand up and cheer! Big city teen Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) moves to a quiet little town and discovers that the hard-line minister has outlawed loud music and dancing. But everything changes when Ren decides to challenge the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's rebellious daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough). Critics and audiences agree "Footloose has an infectious spirit"* so get ready to cut loose! *Alynda Wheat, PEOPLE

Definitely Enjoyed this. Wish Kevin Bacon had filmed that Cameo he was going to film. He was set to play Rens dad in the remake but couldnt because of Xmen. Overall, Movie was great as was the music and dancing. Glad they went on a more country music route.
Meh. It's obviously one of those remakes that will never be better than the original. I like some musicals (for some reason not Glee) and the trailer for this film didn't look terrible. I may or may not check it out. I like the cover.
LOVES This Film 'Footloose' Was A GENUINE GOOD Film On American Dreams.Dance And Youth And Music WHAT ELSE 4/5
Surprised they even decide to remake this what with its outdated concept.
I actually never saw the original and have zero desire to see this. I've seen bits and pieces of the original and if i ever decide to watch one version in full it'll be that over this. Hollywood needs to stop remaking all these movies and start with something new and fresh.
Easily one of my favorites of the past year, day one purchase for me. Had a blast watching it!
This was surprisingly good, and it's got the reviews to back that up.
This wasn't bad. The people above me definitely didn't see it, and felt the need to bash something. It's not a purchase, but it was a nice way to pass a few hours.
This movie was nothing but a god-awful piece of steaming horse feces.
I LOVED this movie! I saw it twice in theaters and I'm so disappointed I have to wait until March to buy it. This will definitely be a Day 1 buy for me.
Day 1 pass for me!!! Yay...

I have discovered the question to end all questions. And, whaddaya know, someone's answered it. #bookmark
I think I just tried to make @nerdhaus quiche. Whether or not I accept that interpretation of the past as canon depends mainly on the degree of misshapenness of whatever it is coming out of the oven in a few minutes.
Sad that Horse_ is gone? Pining for some hilarious nonsense? Come spamwatching on the microformats.org wiki for a bit.
Corn starch is the paradoxical inb4/f1r5t p0st of the kitchen — it stops things from sticking by sticking to things before they have the chance to stick. #baking
@appdotnet @voidfiles #microformats2 markup on ADN post permalink pages is great but markup for reply posts could use some improvement, where is the best place to file issues/make suggestions?
@schmidt_fu there does indeed! Not sure how to fix that. Looking into it now, thanks :)
There doesn't seem to be a decent minimal, standalone websockets server for #python, and #golang doesn't have a simple way of accessing I2C devices. Looks like I might finally have to jump on the nodejs bandwagon for my #raspberrypi schenanigans.
catandgirl.com is one of those things I read precisely because I have no idea what it means. #creativecommons licensed too, which is cool
Databases are the wrong way round. A database should be something you do to content rather than content being something you to a database.
@benwerd my take: use
rel=next/prev[ious] (like inter-post nav) then progressively enhance, make sure you're not making people play "catch the footer" :)
Also in #raspberrypi today: learning about I2C communications. Tips+resources:
sudo i2cdetect before and after plugging it in and see which address changed
i2cset and
i2cget, they're super useful for poking around in I2C devices
I cobbled together a #python class for communicating with the ADXL345 by cross-referencing between the Arduino library for that chip and Adafruit's I2C library, only to find that someone else had done so only hours earlier!
Successfully got both my RPis automatically connecting to WiFi and serving HTTP and SSH over @pagekite. If you're having trouble setting up SSH over Pagekite, using Interactive Testing is super useful. Turns out I had typed my secret in wrong — oops!
At least I can not run them headless now and not keep lugging monitor, keyboard etc. into the kitchen (only source of WiFi strong enough for tiny antenna to pick up). Better for my own sanity as well as my housemates'.
The best way to predict the future is to build it — then document the hell out of it so it's not just your future.
Otherwise ugly and cumbersome rats nests of cables become suddenly beautiful with a #raspberrypi in the middle.
#sourdough culture names suggested so far:
This is going to be difficult. Only one way out… more cultures! I knew I was saving all those peanut butter jars for a good reason.
If you're getting weird errors when trying to copy #raspberrypi NOOBS files onto your SD card on Mac OS X, try copying the files one by one. Sounds stupid (and is stupid) but just worked for me.
@benwerd high expectations

Dulce, Mimmy. Create one more stupidity here and I'll hate you 2. I'm serious.

5-6 years to go.
i would say a year heres why there are a few things i would need to know i would have them live with me because you cant know what they are like unless your with em when you wake up honestly if i really loved the girl 6 months at the most
When you are ready, I say live with him for a couple years and then go

5+ years. That's a serious ass commitment that deserves a lot of thorough research lol
probably 2 1/2 years... depends on your age and maturity level.. I think that if you are really ready for marriage (not the fairy tail kind) but the kind that you have to hold on to with your teeth to keep (the real kind ) then you should know definately after two years of not just going out on dates but knowing each other and your crazy habits and also FAMILY. cuz families matter, they have a big impact on us and what we think. If you go into a marriage thinking "if this doesn't work then im gonna cheat or leave" then you aren't ready.. the mindset should be this is it...period. I like the will smith philosophy: we might be sleeping in seperate rooms for a while but we know we gotta work it out sooner or later cuz theirs no going back. we're married and thats it.
2 years at least, since if you can last that long without breaking up then you should be ok in a marriage situation.
I more or less agree with what exbi said on the first page. There's no defined minimum time. Marriage is of course a big commitment, and so it's a matter of understanding that commitment and being ready to take it on with that other person. How long it takes to reach that point can be quite variable-- if one ever even reaches that point with someone. I'd say it's more a matter of maturity, wisdom, and effort than simply time (or necessarily even age). I met my wife through eHarmony, wrote/phoned for about 3 months before meeting face-to-face, confirmed in my own head that yes, this is the woman with whom I'll grow old together for better and for worse, and popped the question two weeks after our first meeting. She said yes, we were married 5 months after that, and are now looking forward to our first anniversary very soon with our 7 week old son.
Most successful couples I know talked about marriage and married life with each other (kids, money, house. job, travel, relatives, illnesses, etc...) while still in the dating or courtship phase, well before the question was officially asked. By the time the guy popped the question, while the details, circumstances, and the exact time of the question may have been a surprise to the girl, the question itself was not-- she knew it was coming. While the guy always feels a little nervous when popping the question, the affirmative answer was really no longer in doubt either. I kind of wonder whether those sad awkward spectacles where the guy, say, proposes to the girl live on the big screen TV in the baseball park, but she says "no" right there on live television could have been prevented by a bit more careful planning and communication.
Winter Is Coming.
Looks like it's gonna be 2 years or so.

Check out new casino
Saturday, Feb. 4, the tribes at Warm Springs opened their new temporary casino in the city of Warm Springs, on the highway, a joyous occasion for the tribes.
It's architecturally a reflection of Celilo Falls, designed to be subtly understated with no sign of bright lights or neon. The colors help it blend in to its surroundings much as the museum across the highway does.
The casino is being called temporary as the Warm Springs tribes still look forward to being in Cascade Locks; in fact Greg Walden said in his opening statement that he expected to have driven 17 miles to the casino, referring to the Cascade Locks location.
Among the guests were a representative from the governor's office, various legislators and one of my favorites, ex-governor Vic Atiyeh.
The food was excellent; we had salmon and lamb and it was as good as any I've had in any of the Portland restaurants. There is a gift shop and plenty of games and machines; and the air is completely changed in the building every 5 minutes to maintain purity.
It's a great drive down through some beautiful country on a trip through Central Oregon either as a destination or on the way to other points. When you get a chance go and check out Oregon's newest casino owned and operated by our neighbors at Warm Springs.

Self-praising president
Studying feverishly for my test entitled "Political Posturing in the Nation's Capitol," I realized it wouldn't take long - there was only one question which asked: "Who consistently gives the president an overenthusiastic avalanche of accolades, adoration, respect, praise and approval?"
My answer was Barack Obama.
Gosh, I hope I get a good grade on this test and it doesn't hurt that I gave the teacher a Hood River apple!

Support Aaron
I am writing in support of Brian Aaron's candidacy for Hood River District Attorney. I have known Brian both personally and professionally for over 20 years. In that time, Brian has always demonstrated his dedication to his clients, and his principles.
In his work in the criminal and juvenile justice systems, Brian has always worked hard to see that his clients' positions were presented clearly and forcefully to the court and other parties involved in their cases.
Brian has an ability and willingness to listen to all sides of an issue, and to work with others to resolve even what seemed to be impossible disputes. However, when necessary, he has never lacked the will to be prepared and to do the work necessary to present a client's case at trial.
I believe his dedication and empathy for those he represents would be a great service to the people of Hood River County.

Drive and
bike safely
Re: Country Club Road realignment project, please keep us in mind (commercial vehicles and bicycles); a place to chain up trucks before getting onto the hill and bike lanes would be great.
I would also like to respond to the "Take bikes seriously" letter (Feb. 15); I couldn't agree more. Bikes are not always toys. Please slow down for intersections and expect the unexpected - that goes for bikes and cars.
My work truck weighs approximately 40,000 pounds empty and that doesn't stop people from rolling through a stop sign to get ahead of the big truck that might slow them down or anybody on wheels.
Please ride and drive safe this year.

Kudos to
'Out Loud'
An event happened this week that should not go by without note: The Poetry Out Loud recitation contest happened this Wednesday at the Columbia Center for the Arts.
Thirty-five Hood River Valley High School students got up one at a time to recite two poems in front of their peers, a panel of judges and a few lucky audience members. With only words to guide them the students put on a show that left me in awe.
The amount of effort and time put into this performance by each student was remarkable. Even though this was a competition, I would say that every person in that room won; even those of us who were only there to listen.

'Temporary casino'
It was a privilege to be at the Warm Springs Indian Head Casino dedication on Feb. 4. The event was "a temporary celebration" as some were calling it, with their goal of still coming to Cascade Locks.
The attendees were in high spirits, hearing speeches about how the new casino on Highway 26 would be the beginning of a new tribal economic development plan, being an anchor for new businesses as well as providing more jobs.
Councilman Moses reminded everyone that the project took less than a year to complete, saying, "We wanted this project to happen at the speed of business, not the speed of government." Past Gov. Victor Atiyeh reiterated the tribes' goal of coming to Cascade Locks by saying, "This is just a stepping stone to the River." Congressmen Greg Walden said, "This is a great celebration but I was hoping the trip would only be 17 miles away."
The casino architecture artistically represents Celilo Falls, fishing platforms and the Columbia River. The Warm Springs people are not giving up on their hopes to someday return to the River, be it a casino in Cascade Locks or Hood River. This goal is continually obvious, and as Vice Chairman Ron Suppah says, "We are a patient people!"
Many local residents are still in support of a resort/casino being on port property in Cascade Locks. It's only right that the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has a chance to return to their home Nch'i Wana (The Great River).

On the ground floor with about 267 m² there are 6 rooms, 2 baths with toilets, 2 separate toilets, 1 kitchen and a conservatory, from which the private garden can be accessed.
The souterrain consists (approx. 116 m²) comprises 3 rooms, 1 bathroom with separate toilet as well as a washing room and a central heating room.
This large apartment lies in prime location of the 4th district, directly in the diplomatic quarter and only a short walk from the Belvedere Palace. The connection to public transportation is very good. The U1 station Taubstummengasse can be found nearby - two stations further one already is at Stephansplatz, the heart of Vienna. By foot, the roughly 1.6 km to Stephansplatz take about 20 minutes. Furthermore, Karlsplatz can be reached by foot in about 8 minutes and connects with the subway lines U1, U2 and U4.

Me neither, but James G. Cummings of Belfast, Maine, had (quoting Wikileaks) "four lots of one gallon containers of bomb-grade hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium (also radioactive), lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium (radiation booster), boron, black iron oxide and magnesium ribbon" which he somehow planned to set off at the inauguration. Personally, I don't think that volume of material could have been easily smuggled in anywhere near the inauguration activities without raising suspicion.

Peak Lists
Log In
Ascent of Clark Mountain on 2006-01-22
Dennis Poulin
Sunday, January 22, 2006
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Clark Mountain
7907 ft / 2410 m
Ascent Trip Report
I needed to get out from under the rain in Oregon so I headed south. I wanted to try some of these desert P2k peaks and Clark was next on my list. It is #15 ranked in California and I have already climbed the first 14. I followed the directions in the Desert Peaks Section of the Sierra Club and found the picnic area. The road that parallels the wooden power line should be avoided. There are several washouts and 4WD was necessary. Instead drive another 200 ft on the good road where it turns left for 2 miles and ends up behind the power substation. If you avoid the power line road you can drive to the picnic area in your mother's Honda without any problem.
I got to the picnic area on the evening before my climb and I car camped there for the night. There is plenty of room to camp in this area and there were no signs prohibiting it. It cooled off real fast as soon as the sun set. In the morning it was 31 degrees. I put on my warm clothes and headed up the canyon behind the parking area.
The trail was good and easy to follow. I saw where others had started climbing on the right side of the wash in anticipation of the dry waterfall. I followed their lead and soon I could see the dry waterfall ahead. It is kind of steep climbing up this little part, but it was a good warm-up. Once up about 50 feet above the wash the climbing was easier, so I continued going up this little ridge. This was a mistake and soon I could see the cliff band above the left side ridge with the wash down below. I gave up some of my elevation gain, descended to the wash and started climbing up the left ridge towards the cliff band.
This ridge climbs several hundred feet. I didn't remember seeing any reports of airplane wrecks on this peak, but I could plainly see a plane up in the headwaters of the wash at an elevation of about 7,300 feet.
Soon I reached the cliff band and I followed along the base of the cliffs as it climbed to the north. The first place that looked like I could climb up I tried to climb. This again was a mistake. I got up about 10 ft and then couldn't find an acceptable hand hold, so I came back down. There is a big bush in front of this route and it didn't look like it was climbed very often.
I continued north along the cliff for another 100 feet and found the Class 3 route that I wanted. No real problem climbing this route, I just took my time since I was all alone. Once to the ridge line I could see the summit above me and in another 10 minutes I was standing on the summit. It was 25 degrees and the wind was blowing 30 MPH. I signed the register but didn't stay long. It was cold.
I had no issues returning back to the picnic area. Total hike was about 4 hours even though it was only about 3 miles and gained about 1,900 feet. This is a nice hike if you happen to be driving from LA to Las Vegas on I-15. You can see the trucks on the freeway far below you on in the valley.

Best thing about it is that it appears to include Broadside. Long overdue.
Saw this over the 'Scum. The AWESOME NEW Y-WING MOLD folks really wanted...er...not.Mini-rig in the kiddie ride version of a big vehicle style. Like the rear turret (is if for astro droids?). They had a servicable concept but had to make it too Y-wingy (those engine pods look playskoolish) rather than just an "off screen" air speeder/mini-fighter.

The State of California is one step closer to using a known carcinogen on strawberry fields. PAN's Susan Kegley, interviewed on CBS 5, states,"The real hazard is for the people who live and work next to the fields that are fumigated. Here's a chemical we know causes cancer. It's on the Proposition 65 list of carcinogens. And we're introducing it on purpose, with very few controls."

The manuscripts that later became On The Origin of Species are going online for the first time. The good guys at the Cambridge University library, who were the only people with access beforehand, have put Charles Darwin's notes on his book and another 20,000 archive items online, turning it into one vast educational/scientific resource. Apparently it's actually so vast that if you downloaded one image a minute, it'd take you two months to view it all.
The hosting site, Darwin Online, went live 18 months ago, but largely held just the final product publications of Darwin's lifelong research interests. With the addition of the new material, people will now be able to read his notes, his notes on reference reading he'd done, interesting press clippings he kept and private communications with others.
There're some gems in there too: his first scribblings doubting the "stability" of the species, made on his voyage aboard Beagle; his first pencil outline of the species theory, all 61 pages of it (about half crossed-out as his writing progressed). There's even a memo written by his wife Emma, concerned about Charles' religious doubts.
Apparently the archive, stored as images of the texts, will be most useful to Darwin scholars, due to his notoriously scribbly handwriting. But if you're into cooking, then there's also some recipes for muffin pudding and other dishes from Emma, and instructions on how to boil rice from Charles himself.

Not sure on the different cardbacks, but am I the only one that thinks that Luke's hair here is blonde vs. brown in the early bird set? Don't have an early bird set yet so I can't confirm that. But, all the pictures of the carded ones look like he has much lighter hair. Perhaps another nod to the vintage line? James

Bad form or use your genetics?
What is the general consensus amongst the BJJ Gods regarding the use of pure force in a situation such as this? Bad form in general or if you can do it, do it?
If someone has the mount on you and you are able to place your fists on or around their pelvis and basically press them up as you upa...is this generally considered a bad habit to get into as opposed to working to replace some type of guard and/or sweep?
The main reason I ask is I've done this to very light people in the past (under 200 pounds) but the other day I stopped by my friend's Krav class and launched someone who was 230-240.
I'm assuming someone who was a bit more skilled on the ground would either have me better controlled via grapevining their legs or maintaining their balance to keep me from launching them into orbit?

I personally don't like trying to buck someone who is my skill level or better like that, especially if they are close to my weight. I might do it once or twice just to see what they do, or to keep things unpredictable, but not generally for much more than that, or for very long, because . . . well . . . I'm lazy and don't like to expend a lot of unnecessary energy.
Generally, when someone my skill level or better is mounted on me, I don't do massive Upas. It's a way to tire yourself out. What I generally do is a combo of smaller, faster upas and ebbies (shrimps, whatever). My only real goal when doing this is to distract the person and unbalance them long enough to dig my elbow into one their legs, making space to do a real ebby and get my knee through. From there you can stop at half guard, or you can do the smarter thing and utilize the space you've just made to regain full guard.
I will place the hands on the pelvis to brace and push, though. As long as your arms are planted, I don't see a whole lot of risk. Might want to confer with someone that has a tighter escape game than me, though.
One related technique that is kind of fun to try occasionally:
If my opponent is mounted on me, but leans a bit too far back, sometimes I will give a little shove to my opponent's pelvis, upa and bring one knee part of the way through, bring the other leg up and into the hip (think the standard heel hook/ankle lock setup, except your opponent is upright instead of on his back, and you are on your back instead of upright), then push up with your legs a bit (pushing him onto his back wouldn't be a bad thing here) and secure the heel hook on the leg you just wrapped with your leg.
Just something fairly different to play with if you get bored and can halfway visualize what I'm describing."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal
2/21/2006 5:02am, #3
what you've just described is my bog-standard mount escape, with one exception - hand position and foot position.
You'll find there is a natural groove between the hips and thighs, where your thumb and spread hands will fit in quite nicely. This will give you greater pushing power
If at all possible, try to get your feet on the inside of your opponent's feet before you start upa-ing like a bronco. This will save you much energy, and ensure that your opponent goes flying with an absolute minimum of effort.
When done technically, this escape doesn't require a lot of strength. I pressure-tested it late last year in drills to see how long I could continuously do it for. I went through the entire class of about fifty people twice before I got exhausted, giving every single one of my opponents exactly what they wanted, including double underhooks and grapevines in many cases.
I've worked this on a number of good black belts before, with success in all but two cases. Trust me, it works well when you get it down

My biggest fear as I enter into "teh deadly grapple" once again after a year off is using the crappling I had from before. I've got size and what most people would consider a decent amount of strength so I'm scared to death of using strength instead of technique which I know is generally an issue with big guys.

That's a fair point. I've got a similar issue, being at the start of the heavier end of my academy's weight spectrum (I walk around at 88kgs/194 pounds).
I used to be a more strength oriented grappler, up until the point where I adopted an indifferent attitude as to what position I ended up in whilst training (Side control? Great, time to practice shrimping to guard. Half-guard? Fantastic, I need to work my sweeping from here).
Once you view every possible position in a positive light whilst training, your learning curve is much steeper than otherwise possible.
As to the mount escape example: Mount is a precarious position as compared to side control and NS. Your weight from the top is balancing on very few points, and it isn't very difficult to take those points away, at which juncture even lifting someone over the magic 100kg mark isn't too difficult, as you're using your entire body to lift a weight that is already off balanced.

Most of the time I am trying to work on a specific position, so I will work to get to that one. Currently, I am working on my bottom game, so it is not exactly difficult to end up there . . ."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal
2/21/2006 8:30pm, #7
Here's the thing about using strength vs. technique. Sooner or later you're going to have a partner who is stronger and/or heavier than you are. How will your strength and size aid you then? If you always rely on strength versus technique how will you perform when you're exhausted? This is one of the primary reasons technique is so heavily emphasized in Bjj.
I regularly roll with a guy who weighs one hundred pounds more than I do. Am I stronger than he is? Hell no! But I regularly dominate him on the mat because my technique is better.
So don't become reliant on strength. It won't always be there for you, and there is always someone bigger and stronger out there so focus on your technique. Plus there is nothing more devastating than a big guy with excellent technique.

Revelent Thorntonism:How do you know if you are training technically?
You have to ask yourself if you are pacthing up weaknesses in your game, technical holes, areas where you may lack skill, with superior attributes. And if you are, you have to willing to shelf your own ego long enough to stop doing that.
In other words, if you can rip out of an armbar using explosiveness and speed, or escape a triangle by picking up your opponent, or escape bottom by bench pressing the person on top. . .should you?
The answer is an obvious no. Within the Gym you want your training to be as technical as possible. So if you are getting caught with armbars, find out WHY? And then find a technical solution that will work against larger and stronger opponents. This way, when you find yourself matched against a bigger, stronger, faster opponent, you will still have game.
Although this seems like common sense, it is often very hard for some people to do. And those athletes that have trouble doing this will eventually find themselves falling behind the others in the class. They may dominate at first with superior athleticism. But as time passes and the smaller athletes gain more skill, they will eventually find themselves getting caught. And this is where a mature Coach needs to speak to the athlete one on one about how and why they train.
Does this mean we don't want to seek to become stronger and faster?
Asolutely not!
We want to train the body, the vehicle, as well as the skillset. We just want to make sure that the power of the vehicle is not masking a technical hole in the game of the driver.
That way when our athletes enter competition they will have a strong, and in shape body, AND a high level of technical proficiency. Not a strong and in shape body, in place of a technical proficiency.

I think the thing alot of folks are looking for in a thermo is quick reading and the glass types just aren't that quick.
For what it's worth, once you know what your hydrometer reads at mash temp for a couple target gravities, you should be able to use it at those temperatures. At least until you brew a different size beer.
The thermopen in our house is fast, accurate, precise, and a multitastker. We like it. They have sales on some limited occasions.
If you are looking to get your pre boil gravity readings I would highly suggest getting a refractometer with ATC. That will be so much easier than slowing down your day waiting for a hydro sample to cool. You can pick one up on eBay for under $30 including sipping. Good luck!
I don't want a bunch of different thermometers. Been down that route to madness so now I just want one that is accurate, quick and reliable.

Review: XtremeMac XtremeHD HDMI Switcher
Company: XtremeMac
Website: www.xtrememac.com
Model: XtremeHD HDMI Switcher
Price: $100
Compatible: Apple TV
Pros: A powered four-port switchbox designed to add four HDMI inputs to any high-definition television with one existing HDMI port. Generally matches the look of Apple's Apple TV device, and includes a good Infrared remote control. Far better style than typical switchboxes; solid picture and sound quality.
Cons: Price premium over less stylish, similar switchboxes can be steep unless you shop around. HDMI input and output cables aren't included. Infrared commands may conflict with certain TV remotes.
Like it or not, high-definition video components are expensive right now, as companies are charging considerable premiums for everything from the HDTVs and high-def disc players themselves to the HDMI cables you use to connect them. Before the March release of Apple's Apple TV, simple HDMI cables were often selling for $50-60, and some companies were pushing alternatives for twice as much. But to coincide with Apple TV's release, XtremeMac in March debuted more reasonably priced, nicely designed XtremeHD series audio and video cables (iLounge ratings: B+), and promised a new Apple TV-matching switchbox as well. That device, the XtremeHD HDMI Switcher ($100), is now available in stores, and while it's not as aggressively priced as the company's cables, it's an extremely handy and nicely designed option nonetheless.
The premise is simple. High-definition television sets, disc players, and game consoles made over the last several years may or may not have an "HDMI port," which combines top quality digital video and audio connections into a single connector. If you're lucky enough to have one HDMI port on your TV, it's quite possible that you don't have two or three—a LCD set we purchased in late 2005 or early 2006, for instance, has only one; a protector purchased earlier has none. Like a USB hub with USB ports, the XtremeHD HDMI Switcher adds four ports to a TV that has at least one, but can't add anything to a TV without an HDMI connection.
Unlike all other HDMI switchboxes currently on the market, XtremeMac's is specifically designed to match the look and footprint of Apple TV. While it's not precisely the same—its silver body is plastic rather than metal, and a shade or three off of Apple's—they look good when stacked together. On the front are subtle white-backlit numbers that indicate which of the rear four HDMI inputs is currently being sent to the unit's single HDMI output port.
A five-button Infrared remote control is included to let you switch from HDMI device to device, and uses standard commands that can be programmed into a universal remote via learning mode. Generally, we had no issue using the remote from across the room, and we liked how it looked and felt. One of our editors noticed that XtremeMac's remote codes are the same as certain numeric input buttons used by his Toshiba television remote; this thankfully wasn't an issue for our editor, who uses a separate cable box remote for his TV tuning, or for the rest of us, but under certain circumstances it could create issues for some users.
XtremeMac has also built in a video amplifier, which is powered by an included external power supply. For techies, and despite Apple TV's current limitations in these regards, it's worth noting that the device is capable of passing through up to 1080p, HDCP-compatible, digital surround sound signals. Consequently, even if four HDMI devices—say, an Apple TV, a DVD player, a game console and cable box—are connected at once, the images Switcher puts out will still look great. We tested it with multiple Apple TVs, an upscaling DVD player, a cable box, an HD-DVD player, and a PlayStation 3 console, and were entirely satisfied by the results; video looked bright, detailed, and interference-free, and audio sounded exactly as expected. Notably, however, we needed to supply all the input and output HDMI cables ourselves, a common enough omission from today's switcher boxes.
Our only other issue with the Switcher was suggested at the beginning of this review: it's not cheap. While comparable 4-port HDMI switchboxes can be had for $65 or thereabouts, XtremeMac's retailing the XtremeHD HDMI Switcher at $100, or a $35 design premium. This is rendered tolerable in our view only by the fact that the device can be found for $80 or less online. While it's true that good design is worth paying a bit extra for, it's also true that if you're neither concerned about design nor in need of four HDMI inputs, you can find less expensive solutions elsewhere. That said, this is a very good option for Apple TV owners concerned with preserving a consistent look for their components, and if you shop properly online, you'll be very happy with its features for the price.

College of mine pointed a blog post to me written by Peter Kent, author, SEO for Dummies. The post claims that 80% of search engine marketing consultants are scammers and I must say that I agree. I have seen some poor samples of SEO consultancy to even the biggest companies.
In the post there is also a mention of flash designed webs having poor visability, even though I have seen search optimized flash sites they tend to have lesser chance than other and I must also say that I agree with Peter when he claims not having seen evidence showing that flash sites are indexable, I have but for me it's rather a question of the ranking.
The rule is that you do not hire anyone that says he/she can get to the top 10, even if he has done it for another client, different clients have different needs.
Another thing is be carefull of what tools you use, many are just there to collect information about you and your activities, understand trends and so on.
Get case studies and references to verify that they are correct.

@00Coyote For me, this show is sort of like Cowboys and Aliens/Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter where I like it when silly premises are taken extremely seriously. Yeah, the fact that the stakes concern a crap movie does hamper the seriousness somewhat, but the way the characters treat it so seriously causes me to enjoy it. And of course, I really like Houtarou due to my Daria-fanboyism.

what a great episode to a very interesting story arc.
Started off extremely slow, mainly due to the actual terribleness of the home made video, but the last two episodes had a lot of good character development.
Orange text is obviously Hotarou's sister - senpai, calling Houtarou an "idiot", across the globe (she's in India).
What I want to know is WILL WE SEE IRISU AGAIN?! Best girl by far in the series.

Whoever that "It's me~♪" was, I can't help but feel she's somehow underestimating the people around that "idiot" and their power of curiosity...

IMO I think the person who solved this case FIRST was Satoshi. Chintanda already felt something was fishy at the beginning but didn't say anything (she probably do not know why too).
Satoshi was the one who said that Oreki symbolizes STRENGTH in the tarot. So, perhaps Satoshi noticed something also and hinted that Oreki symbolizes STRENGTH and should look up STRENGTH in the tarot and realize that he (Oreki himself) is just being used (by Irisu). Not sure if this happened prior or after the STRENGTH scene, but Satoshi did meet up (walked, and talked) with Oreki and asked if he was serious about completing this "mystery ending" as Satoshi probably felt something was off.

I don't know about you guys but I would totally feel like shit if I was in Oreki's shoes. I might not show it outside but I will be feeling numb for quite a while there.
Imagine this, you got so worked up about a something. You didn't want to do it at first but then something or someone hooked you up to it. You're morale was at a high. The helped solve a problem which was given to you except that THAT particular problem had a twist to it and that you would be playing the fool for it.
I hate being sugar coated with motivational words just for the purpose of getting used for others benefits.

I can understand that he's upset over being manipulated/used. I would be, too. But I wouldn't even be half that emotional about it. I found his reactions (as well as Chitose's during his private convo with Houtarou) a tad too dramatic to be realistic.

Actually, some people can be that very temperamental, even if you think they shouldn't. Might sound unrealistic to see one snap out like that but they exist.

But to say in the Hyouka's pov, i think Oreki's heart is so close and near to the Classic club, though it sometimes annoyed him coz messing his peaceful life, but he just couldn't ignore them. So when he deducted something that made his friends feeling bad, he couldn't ignore that. Its like betraying something close to his heart.
The burden of pain doubles when he realized that he was made to do such thing which betrayed his friends' feelings by a manipulative senpai, and triples when he realized that he was such an idiot to not realized that earlier.
Well thats what you get with a simpleton. Don't blame him for such over emotional act lol.

But thats the power of friendship. After several episode, Oreki might find how friendship affects him in so many ways. His relationship with his club members, and how it affects him, which outweighs his personality and nature. Even if its going to annoy the hell out of him, he is still willing to follow and be with them. Its a bond that is so different from Hongou-Irisu, because Irisu never considered Hongou's feelings in the very beginning.

Loved the dismissive smackdown by Houtarou's sister towards Irisu at the end of the episode.
"I'm the master (manipulator) now!"
"No, grasshopper. You have much more to learn."
Makes me wonder if Houtarou's sister will be the final antagonist. Wonder why is it so common in anime to have "I Mean Well" elder siblings that completely screw up your lives in psychopathic ways.
*burns your puppy alive*
"It's for your own good, young brother of mine."
With his sister's involvement in both major arcs, will she play one in the next one, and how so.

This is just idle speculation on my part, but I believe that Houtarou is, in truth, a rather emotionally fragile person, which could explain why he built up so many walls around himself. After all, it hasn't been all that long since he first ventured from his comfort zone, so being "betrayed" (or at least deceived) by Irisu might have hurt him quite a bit.
That is another possible interpretation of Houtarou's sudden outburst, although it's not quite as intuitive (or convenient) as the melodrama explanation.

not a bad episode but too much melodrama over nothing, i would get jotaro acting like that, and eruu because she displayed to be that kind of character, but the other two just made a storm in a teacup, and if they noticed that much why didnt they say anything sooner, well at least they filled that scrptwritter plothole.

For some reason Irisu doesn't appeal to me that much although I like the manipulative type. On the other hand I'm probably the only one who likes Hongou (<3) aka the shy and reserved person who does her best for the sake of others but can't confront others at all.

Brilliant. I'd give it 9.5 if I could. All questions that I remember popped up in previous episodes discussion got answered, especially "Why don't they just ask Hougou?" one.
About the outburst scene, I think we have to consider that they (the stuff) intentionally add music, camera angle, voice acting and etc. to make it dramatic. After all, they want to show that he's serious.
Once you take that into account, I don't think it's over dramatized. For all we know, Houtarou has been living a grey life. He never think he has any talent (Implied in episode 7 that it's most likely because he's constantly overshadowed by his sister.) This is the first time he was told he is needed. He's special, and no one else can do it. Then he realized it's all a lie. I might not go and confronted the person who said it like he did, but I'll certainly feel like crap like he was.
I said last time that Irisu is a good leader, but not a great one. This episode strengthen that idea. There is no loyalty in her leadership, since all she can is "force" people to do things for her, directly or indirectly. She cannot "ask for a favor" from people. People will eventually realized, like Houtarou did, and get sick of it sooner or later.
In any case, I stated to understand why this series is described as "the bitter-sweetness of growing up." This is a realistic version of growing up. It's not a story about Houtarou realized his talent, become a great detective, and goes on to solve "exciting" mysteries. It's about realizing the non-idealistic world. Exciting "Rose-colored life" can backfire on you like it did to Sekitani Jun. Or people will say all kind of irresponsible thing to get the result they want, like Irisu did to him. Similar to when Eru realized that the sibling relationship is neither her ideal or Houtarou's opposite version of it, but something in between.
He's becoming an adult. One that have to survive in this cruel world. Maybe his sister is trying to make him learn about that?

Lady Knight coach Kaitlyn O'Donnell gathered her gymnasts at the end of the meet and began to prepare them for the outcome. Win or lose, she was proud of the effort. Everybody seemed to hit their routines, and that's all that they can ask for.
The rest was up to the judges to decide.
"I had actually told them to not be upset if we lost because I didn't know the results until the end," said O'Donnell. "It was just two good teams going up against each other, and it really just comes down to who has the higher start values, who hits on that day, and who works the hardest."
For the past two years, Glastonbury has dominated the rivalry. For the previous eight seasons, Southington was the winner. Over the last 10 years, the winner has gone on to claim the Class L title in all but two seasons. This was the measuring stick, and Southington entered the meet as an underdog in the CIAC rankings.
When the final scores were announced, the Tomahawks had improved their season average by almost a full point. Southington jumped up more than five points from their previous best.
The Knights improved to 4-0 with a 143.7 to 141.45 victory.
"It was a big jump from our last meet, but I knew that we were capable of doing this," said O'Donnell. "I just didn't know when we were going to do it."
Once again, Erin Malone set the pace. The first-year senior set the top score on vault (9.6), bars (9.5), beam (9.6), and floor (9.35) to set the highest all-around score for the day (38.05).
"She's very solid every week. She's a first-year senior, but she has a lot of meet experience in general," said the coach. "But they're all really stepping it up, and it really works for us that we have so many all-arounders. They're all very good, and they're all very consistent."
In fact, Southington scored four of the top five all-around scores. Kayla Nati (35.6) edged Marilyn Sporbert (34.85) for third place overall, and Lexi Rothstein (34.25) finished within a point and a half of both of them.
As a team, the Knights swept all four events, and O'Donnell said that she was most impressed with their work on the vault.
"We had a full vault lineup with all of our kids doing their hardest vaults," said the coach. "That really made a huge difference with our all-around total, but we were very solid on everything. They're a good team, too, and it was very close the whole meet."
Even with the victory, Glastonbury held on to their ranking as the No. 2 team in the state in the CIAC point standings. On the other hand, the third-ranked Knights scored more than a full point higher than the averages of both Glastonbury (140.217) and top-ranked Woodstock (142.442), a favorite to win the Class M title.
The teams are bound to meet again at the division meet, and they could square off again at the state open. But O'Donnell wants her team to enjoy the victory… for now.
"They were so excited because we haven't won in two years," said the coach. "It was such a great feeling at the end of the meet. We didn't know if we were winning. When I finally found out, the girls were so happy."
If history is any indication, this could be the start of something special.

The same day the White House unveiled a proposal to give consumers more rights and privacy on the Internet – it was revealed that Google hired a government insider to head its lobbying efforts in Washington. Google revealed, in a statement released Thursday, that Susan Molinari, a former New York congresswoman and a once rising star in the Republican Party, will be the vice president for public policy for North and South America. She will be replacing Alan Davidson, who stepped down in November 2011.
Ms. Molinari, a Republican, was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1990, but stepped down in 1997. She worked in television for a period and has been a lobbyist since 1999. She is married to Bill Paxton, who was also a Republican representative from New York and is currently a lobbyist at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. Ms. Molinari has extensive ties to the Republican Party establishment, according to The New York Times. Over the years, she has donated a quarter of a million dollars to Republican candidates.
Just this past summer, Google hired an additional 12 lobbying firms to represent it – they did this after an investigation on breaches to user privacy was launched by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). That FTC probe eventually resulted in Google paying out millions, admitting to violating the privacy of its users, and agreeing to a 20 year consent order in which the company will regularly file assessment reports with the FTC.
Google is one of the biggest spenders among corporate lobbyists – spending $9.7 million on lobbying in 2011, nearly double the amount the company spent the previous year (an increase of 88%).
Ms. Molinari's appointment to her new job at the company is a calculated strategy by Google to try to win over Republican support at Congress. According to the newspaper, The Hill, Google has even also been working hard to get former Republican lawmakers to join the company as lobbyists.
Google obviously wants to control how Congress votes and passes its bills by making sure to strategically place Google employees to influence outcomes. By hiring people who already know how to skillfully navigate waters at Washington and who have influence over important people there, Google can make sure it sways things in its favor.
This is especially important for Google and its advertising partners, to completely stop or significantly water-down proposed and future legislation that gives Americans more rights over their online personal data. If laws that limit Google from collecting our personal data are passed, then this is a disaster scenario for the company. You have to remember that Google makes over 90% of its revenues from advertising! Any law that prevents Google from harvesting our personal information to sell to advertisers will result in huge losses for the company. Google will fight tooth and nail to halt any legislation that gives Americans more protections online.
Google has hired other Republicans over the years as well. Google is trying to distance itself from a perception that it's too close to the Obama administration and, in general, the Democratic Party. Former CEO and current executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, has very close ties with the Obama administration. He is a major party donor to the Obama presidential campaign. In addition, Mr. Schmidt was a member of Obama's transition advisory board and a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He had also been considered for several other positions, including a cabinet position within the Obama administration.
Over 80% of Google executives have donated money to support Obama and other democrats. This isn't much different from how other Silicon Valley tech company workers spend their money. In 2008, the industry gave then-Senator Obama more than $9 million dollars to support his campaign for the presidency. This was three times what the industry raised for any other politician. It is expected that contributions for to Obama's 2012 campaign will exceed that number and President Obama is depending on it. These Silicon Valley tech companies now spend more money to support Obama than Hollywood does. President Obama depends on Google and Google depends on President Obama.
The Daily Beast has a great article called "President Obama Courts Silicon Valley's New Digital Aristocracy", which discusses this further – click here
In a 2011 report, the advocacy group Consumer Watch compiled a report that details how Google benefits from close ties with the Obama administration. Consumer Watchdog received evidence to back their report through Freedom of Information Act requests – click here (PDF file)
According to the Washington Post reporter, Cecilia Kang, experts have said that lawmakers in Congress are suspicious of Google and feel that it has received too much favoritism from the White House. In response to this – Google is hoping that if it implants high-profile Republicans in Washington, it can start winning support in Congress. Already, there have been several bipartisan efforts made by several lawmakers to put more restrictions on Google and Google has already been grilled recently by a congressional committee made up of both Democrats and Republicans. If Google can divide Republicans by winning over some support of Republican representatives in Congress, the company can eventually conquer Congress. If successful, Google can destroy bills and/or render bills ineffective in helping the average Internet user by watering it down.
Google has already succeeded with this type of political manipulation in Britain. Privacy advocacy groups in Britain have recently accused Google of meddling to stop more stringent privacy laws. Google was able to convince a British government department to ask an independent regulatory authority to reverse its hard-line stance on Internet browser security. For further details on this – click here
So, how the heck was it possible for Google to convince the British government to do what it wanted?
Well, one major reason can be credited to a woman named Rachel Whetstone. If you recall, I first wrote about Ms. Whetstone a few days ago on my site when I gave you a breakdown of her ridiculous convoluted statement after the whole controversy surrounding Google deliberately circumventing privacy settings on Apple's Safari browser – click here
Anyway, Ms. Whetstone, who is Google's vice president of communications and policy, is married to Steve Hilton. Mr. Hilton is the Director of Strategy for the British Prime Minister David Cameron. Both Rachel Whetstone and Steve Hilton were godparents to Prime Minister Cameron's eldest son (who sadly passed away three years ago at just 6 years of age).
Opposition parties have accused the British government with having too close ties with Google and a prominent Conservative entrepreneur has even called Google a parasite that drains revenue. There was also the infamous "review" of British IP laws, initiated by Prime Minister Cameron, and nicknamed by others as "the Google Review". According to reporting by The Register in the UK,
"…it was introduced with a quote attributed to the Google founders by Prime Minister David Cameron. According to Cameron, the Google founders had said they could never have founded Google in the UK, because of copyright law here. There was one slight problem: the founders had never said anything of the sort, and the claim was finally traced to Google's European public policy director Richard Sargeant – who had led the lobbying for reform of copyright in Google's favor"
Google will do anything to wiggle its way into any government and influence any politician. If Google can influence politicians, it then can have influence on governments. Google can control the way laws are developed and it controls which laws to dump out completely. Google has enormous power and persuasion. A single company with this much international power and influence is a deeply concerning and, quite frankly, scary.
Call up your representative in Congress and tell them to not let Google control how they vote. If important, comprehensive, and stringent Internet privacy laws for Americans have any chance of succeeding in Washington – it will be absolutely dependent on Google failing!
Susan Molinari's tenure is slated to begin in mid-March with the official title of "Google's vice president of public policy and government relations for the Americas."

Highlights from the 'Bridgegate' e-mails
Emails released as a result of a subpoena on New Jersey's "Bridgegate" scandal have linked one of Gov. Chris Christie's top staffers to the controversial closure of multiple lanes on the George Washington Bridge in September that led to massive traffic problems in the town of Fort Lee, N.J. The town's mayor, Mark Sokolich, had refused to back Christie's reelection bid, and has alleged that the road closures were a punitive measure.

Reader Uses Being Nice To Quickly Escapes Verizon Without Early Termination Fee
Mason used the increase in monthly administrative charges to escape his Verizon cellphone contract without early termination fee, but unlike others, had very little trouble. The secret seems to be being nice! Wow, are we still doing that? Yes, we are, and it works wonders:
In 4 1/2 minutes I had both my phone numbers canceled and ready to port to ATT with the ETF waived on both lines. No escalation, no deep explaining, no pain really! I told the CSR that she was very pleasant to work with and thanked her for her help with this matter. She proceeded to thank me as well and told me that I was pleasant as well, and that most that have called that she has talked to, were "Abrubt and sometimes rude" when calling about the "Opt-Out".
The moral of the story. No matter what you're dealing with, treat others the way you want to be treated. If you're nice to a CSR, they will be nice back and work hard to help you. I've been with Verizon 6 years and have had only one problem with their customer service. But even then, it doesn't matter what Customer Service department I talk to, no matter how rude "they" may be, I still can get good service by being friendly, personable, and kind to them.
You wouldn't want to help out an asshole, so don't be one.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI recited the Angelus today in the town of Romano Canavese in northern Italy, thanking the doctors who repaired his broken right wrist and thanking the faithful all over the world who offered their prayers for him.
"As you can see, because of an accident, my mobility is a bit limited, but my heart is fully present," he assured the crowd gathered in front of the parish church in Romano Canavese, about 50 miles away from Les Combes, where he has been vacationing.
"I offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone — and there are many of you — who have demonstrated your closeness, your sympathy and your affection for me and who have prayed for me," he said before reciting the Angelus. "I especially want to thank the doctors and the medical staff who treated me with such diligence, compassion and friendship. As you can see, they were successful … we hope they were successful."
The pope used his casted right hand to wave and even wiggled his still slightly swollen fingers. The swelling has gone down enough to allow him to put the papal Fisherman's ring back on his right hand.
The right-handed, 82-year-old Pope Benedict looked especially pleased with the notebook-sized portable computer he received as a gift from the mayor of Romano Canavese. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state who was born in Romano Canavese, told the Italian news agency ANSA that the broken wrist would make it difficult for the pope to use his Alpine vacation to continue work on the second volume of his book about Jesus.
Here's a video news report of the pope's Angelus that you can find on the Vatican's YouTube channel:

Chicago (Illinois, USA)
Chicago, Illinois, the second largest city of the United States in 1950 (third largest in 2005), with a population of 3,606,436 in 1950, was the home of nine Mennonite congregations in 1953. Several score Mennonite students could always be found in the many educational institutions of the city. The Mennonite Central Committee customarily held its annual sessions, executive and section meetings in Chicago.
The first Mennonite church (Mennonite Church) in Chicago was organized in 1866 by two businessmen, Peter Neff and John F. Funk. The congregation continued until 1871, when the small meetinghouse was destroyed in the great Chicago fire.
John F. Funk, a co-worker for several years with D. L. Moody, laid the foundations for the publication work of the Mennonite Church (MC) when he started his publishing company in Chicago in 1864, which he then transferred in 1867 to Elkhart, Indiana. Funk published the Herald of Truth and the Herold der Wahrheit, both founded in 1864 and "devoted to the interests of the denomination of Christians known as 'the Mennonites.'"
Chicago has been the scene of pioneer efforts of the Mennonites in city mission work. In many instances the work was begun spontaneously by interested individuals and groups with the conferences subsequently authorizing and supporting the already operating programs. The first Mennonite Church mission in Chicago was established at 145 West 18th Street in 1893 with M. S. Steiner as superintendent. This mission was suspended in 1895 but was re-established in 1896 under the auspices of the Mennonite Evangelizing and Benevolent Board. Other conferences inaugurated mission work in Chicago during the next two decades: Evangelical Mennonite Brethren, 1907; Evangelical Mennonite Conference (Defenseless), 1908; Central Conference, 1909; General Conference, 1914; and Krimmer Mennonite Brethren, 1915.
M. B. Fast and later D. M. Hofer and J. W. Tschetter edited and published in Chicago the Wahrheitsfreund, which came to be the official publication of the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren.
The General Conference Mennonites in 1945 established in Chicago the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in affiliation with Bethany Biblical Seminary (Church of the Brethren).
Following were the Mennonite congregations in Chicago in 1953, their addresses, conference affiliations, and dates of origin: Mennonite Home Mission, 1907 S. Union (Mennonite Church), 1893; Bethel Mennonite Church, Loomis and 14th Place (Mennonite Church), 1950; Mennonite Mexican Mission, 1014 Blue Island (Mennonite Church), 1932; First Mennonite Church, 73rd and Lafflin (General Conference Mennonite Church), 1914; Grace Mennonite Church, 4221 S. Rockwell (General Conference Mennonite Church), 1916; Woodlawn Mennonite Church, 46th and Woodlawn (General Conference Mennonite Church), 1950; Brighton Mennonite Church, 34th Place and Wollcott (Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Conference), 1907; Calvary Memorial Church, 1217 W. 72nd St. (Evangelical Mennonite), 1908; and Lincoln Avenue Gospel Mission, 2812 Lincoln Avenue (Krimmer Mennonite Brethren), 1915.

Aspirin Use in HIV-Positive Patients
May/June 2013
While there is increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in HIV-positive patients, aspirin use has not been studied in this group. Sujit Suchindran and colleagues from Massachusetts General Hospital presented results from a retrospective a cohort analysis of around 3,700 HIV-positive patients and 33,000 HIV-negative controls without known baseline coronary heart disease, followed from 2000 to 2009 in a U.S. healthcare cohort.1
They investigated use of aspirin whether it reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease. They found that aspirin use was lower in HIV patients, particularly men and those with highest cardiovascular disease risk. However, aspirin use had no obvious effect in reducing myocardial infarction in HIV-positive patients compared to the HIV-negative individuals.
Aspirin use was recorded as being slightly but significantly lower among HIV-positive people compared to HIV-negative controls (12.4% vs 15.3%, p <0.001) although the difference was driven by lower use by HIV-positive men rather than women. It was more almost 50% lower amongst higher risk patients with two or more coronary heart disease risk factors (22.1% vs 42.4%, p <0.001), with similarly reduced use byt both HIV-positive men and women.
In multivariate analyses, aspirin use was only associated with reduced risk of myocardial infarction amongst HIV-negative patients with no association of protection in overall HIV group or any subgroup.
Aspirin use was lower amongst HIV-positive patients compared to HIV-negative patients with a greater relative difference amongst those with significant cardiovascular risk. Although benefit was not demonstrated in HIV-positive patients, this was an observational study with potential for selection bias especially with data dependent on hospital inpatient and outpatient prescription registries.
In the absence of evidence from randomised studies, aspirin use should probably be considered in HIV-positive patients for similar indications as the general population.
