text: So yesterday I put in the 15 tooth pinions and went around the tall grass and driveway and street for what ended up being 3319mah worth of battery. Pair of 7 cell IB3800s to be exact. With the 19 toothers I didn't like the motors heat when done with a run so I went 15. Mission accomplished, sorta. I felt the motors after the run and was really pleased. I took Eva inside and put it on the bench. Hottest point on the motors was 115 degrees, ESC was 97. But my batts were a little warmer, most cells were 122-135 degrees and at least one was showing 152 degrees. I have the Duratrax Flashpoint so I am not 100% sure of it's accuracy, but it seem to be pretty close. What are your thoughts on this?

Doing a Google search the other day I was reminded that March is Women's History Month, thank God we have Google to remind us of our social obligations as penance for our past sins. But clearly more delineation is needed, turf needs to be carved out, demarcated for emphasis. For instance, the first week of March could be Man Hating Lesbian Week, the next Fat Chick Week, and the next could be for progressive white females, who's two votes for Obama did not alleviate the white guilt and require additional diversity props to anesthetize their shame. Other variances can be considered, "I had an abortion" week, "I filed a bogus sexual harassment suit and now am set for life" week, even "I tricked a man into getting me pregnant and now he is on the hook for 18 years (plus college) of child support" week.
In keeping with this theme, local universities are providing seminars to remind women of their special distinction, "XX" power;
"Fat Justice and Feminism" seminar sponsored by Swarthmore College blamed Ronald Reagan for the suffering of fat people and accused the Body mass index (BMI) of having "direct links to a white supremacist."
The workshop, taught by feminist activist Cora Segal and self-identified "angry, man-hating lesbian," Nicole Sullivan, took place Thursday and sought to "address the ongoing exploitation and oppression of fat people."
The Swarthmore Independent reports that Segal and Sullivan took aim at a variety of subjects including President Ronald Reagan, who they claimed "f*cked everything up" for fat people—though the Independent drily reports that "[n]o specific evidence about Reagan's perverse policies or animosity toward obese people was offered."
We could run in several directions with this; the lunacy of academia, progressives touting more of that victim mentality crap, the supremacy of self esteem to the detriment of everything else, take your pick.
Segal and Sullivan also argued in favor of "communism and socialism as viable alternatives to capitalism and exploitation" and against oppressive healthy eating and exercise programs. The two reportedly went so far as to claim that "every physician is bought off by lobbyists and the diet industry."
Well, there you go, everything you knew about diet, exercise, and a healthy living style is wrong, pass the Cheetos.
I imagine that in a communist society obesity is probably rare, but so is abundance of anything, that's the point, equality of everything including calories.
I did learn one thing about this article, you can get a degree in "Gender and Sexuality Studies", any wall would feel blessed to have that sheepskin hanging on it.

Nominee may be ugly, Jewish, and lesbian
Every time you think, you weaken the nation —Moe Howard

21 May 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Belying his stated goal to increase diversity and represent the common person on the Supreme Court, President Barack Obama has nominated yet another unattractive ethnic woman from New York City.
Elena Kagan, currently Solicitor General, would replace retiring John Paul Stevens, a demented white man who perfectly represents most Americans. However, rumors have surfaced--first in the foreign press, then picked up by U.S. networks that support Obama--that Kagan is a closet lesbian.
Kagan's strategy--whether to confirm it, deny it, or proudly refuse to discuss it--is the biggest issue in American politics. It has overshadowed other aspects of the nomination, such as her recent, unsuccessful argument before the Court that the U.S. has the power to ban books and pamphlets that portray candidates unattractively.
The nomination requires confirmation by the Senate--where the minority party, whose name was not immediately available, might be influential, or at least audible. The party does not have the 51 votes needed to win, but recently acquired the 41 votes with which to derail debate with a filibuster.
Whether it is right to block a Constitutional duty with a cheap trick is a question on which every Senator's opinion flips according to whether he is on top. The Democrats threatened filibusters last time, dropping the threat only when it was agreed that President Bush would only nominate uninteresting judges. Democrats will now call the same tactic shameless and illegal. It is a national role-play of Rodney King, on his back pleading, "Can't we all just get along?" versus the pistol-whipping LAPD, with the participants exchanging positions every two years.
The minority party, however, is divided into two camps:
- Those who believe that, since it's one moon-bat replacing another, it's not worth going out on a limb over; and
- Those who realize there's an election in six months and are desperate to distinguish themselves from the Democrats despite no discernible policy differences--so Kagan will have to "take one for the team"--the other team.
Most of these voted to confirm Kagan as Solicitor General, back when Obama was popular, self-righteously saying a President has the right to his own nominees. This makes it awkward to turn against her now, especially since her niche religion, unfortunate appearance, and femaleness, would normally make her unassailable. Unless there are "new developments," such as a shocking revelation of homosexuality--especially if the details come out after Kagan clams up, you should pardon the expression. Surely Anita Hill, decades after the Clarence Thomas pubic hairs, could come forward with sordid details on a Close Encounter with another Justice. This Congress has borrowed a trillion of bread, but it's not clear we've had enough circuses.

What impact does the procession of ghosts have upon Richard III?
- print Print
- list Cite
Right after the procession of ghosts exits, Richard shows his first moment of vulnerability and insecurity. He identifies himself as a villain and realises that he has cut off every single relation that might have supported him. However, after this brief moment of understanding, Richard quickly dismisses his conscience and is back to the old Richard. This could have been a turning point for the character, but he is too far gone to turn back and what is more, he does not want to turn back.
The moment also creates a lot of sympathy and pity within the audience, much of which had disappeared after his horrendous murders of even the most innocent (eg, the Princes). This is important in the context of the play, because the audience must respond to Richard's death and not rejoice.
Additionally, the recovery that Richard makes after his moment of weakness, that is his bravery on the battlefield, makes us admire him even more.
Richard dreamt that a parade of ghosts- those that Richard had murdered enters the stage. Each of the ghosts criticized him and condemned him for the misery that they had to suffered due to his cruelty and cursed him by saying that he will be killed the next morning and ordered him to go and die and be fearful
Next, the ghosts went to Richmond's side and told him that they were on his side and he would one day rule England and make Richard abidicate from his throne.
The dream really impacted Richard a lot. Scared out of his wits, he woke up from his dream, perspiring and panting a lot.
The effect of the ghost's procession was like curses deliberately aiming and striking at him all at the same time. It gives Richard the time to self-ponder and soul-searching that he had never done in his life, which is the first time that Shakespere had dwelled into a very complicated and egaging topic, the psychology of the human nature.
Arriving at Bosworth Field with his troops, Richard surveys the field while his tent is set up for the night. Richard joins with his troops in a different part of the field and sends a secret message to Stanley. Stanley is planning to help Richmond although he appears to be fighting for Richard. Ghosts appear while Richard and Richmond are sleeping in different parts of the field. The ghosts are wishing Richmond good fortune while cursing Richard. Therefore, Richard awakens in a fearful state, wishing to spy on his own soldiers and test their loyalty. Meanwhile, Richard is well-rested and has strong confidence in his victory. After both leaders make a speech to his soldiers, Richard discovers that Stanley is not going to fight, but there is not enough time to kill his son. That must wait until after the battle.

There isn't a week that passes that i don't think of the good times @ had @ RBMA in 2007. Even better has been the good friends I've made and still stay in touch with. Greatest, has been seeing the releases emerge from these very same RBMA grads. From HudMo, to Samiyam to Musinah (who were all in Toronto in 2007) and even the engineers like Waajeed and Mark Pritchard.
Newest to offer a release has been: The Clonious née Paul Movahedi. A quiet and subdued cat, who simply let his music speak volumes.
Loud enough for SoCal based Ubiquity to hear, 9852 kms away from Vienna, AUSTRIA.
As a result, we now have an EP on the calendar: Adroit Adventures, dropping June 9th on Ubiquity Records.
Though having had a preceding release on Jay Scarlett's Circulations LP, this 4 cut EP will be The Clonious' coming out, introduction to the world. Enlisted to help the creative producer have been the likes of Musinah, as well fellow country cousin and very good friend Dorian Concept.
The Adroit Adventures EP tracklist will read as follows:
1. Fogged Space Suit
2. One At A TIme feat Musinah
3. Emora
4. Emora (Dorian Concept rmx)
So make sure to cop Adroit Adventures by The Clonious when it drops June 9th, and take all the joints in, esp this slow flow banger: One At A Time, featuring Muhsniah.

More than the cold, more than another critical missed call, more than one manager taking the game and the other giving it away, what I'll remember about last night's Rockies/Phillies game is the sheer number of great pitcher/batter confrontations. The difference between this game and the Twins/Tigers one-game playoff, the most recent "great" game this season, is that the playoff game wasn't well-played and is better remembered for the failures of its players, the mistakes by the managers, the terrible umpiring. Last night's game was played at a higher level.
There were so many quality at-bats, many from players who you don't expect to have them. With the bases loaded in the fourth, Raul Ibañez fell behind 1-2 then battled back to work an eight-pitch walk that tied the game. There was Carlos Ruiz, the slap-hitting catcher, pushing the count to 3-2 in the third, chopping a pair of balls foul, then grounding a single into left field to salvage a final run from a rally nearly killed by Pedro Feliz's double-play ball. Feliz himself came up big in the eighth, yanking an 0-2 slider into left field for a double. Leadoff man Jimmy Rollins, coming to the plate in the ninth having played poorly all year and on into this series, working the count to 3-2 against Huston Street and grounding a single to start the game-winning rally. Carlos Gonzalez had three hits on the night, including a big homer in the fourth, but never looked more like he was ready for the majors than he did fighting off Brad Lidge sliders in the ninth to reach on an eight-pitch walk.
We don't think about pitchers having quality at-bats the way we do batters, but hurlers came up huge in this game as well. Perhaps no pitcher made a bigger mark on the game than did Ryan Madson. Forced into the game when Scott Eyre rolled his ankle, asked to warm up on the game mound in the cold in front of 50,000 freezing fans demanding he get on with it, sent in to retire the Greatest Rockie Ever with no one out and the winning runs on base, Madson pitched Helton beautifully, seven pitches in which he changed speed and location and when he needed to, overpowered Helton. The sequence reads like a clinic:
- Fastball up and away, foul
- Fastball up over the plate, ball
- Changeup, up and away, ball
- Fastball, up and away, outer edge of the zone, swing and miss
- Fastball, down and in, foul
- Changeup, low and away, foul
- Fastball, way up, swing and miss
If the Phillies win the series, if they go on to repeat as champions, that's where it happened. The Phillies were on a path to lose the ballgame, they were forced into an awful matchup by circumstance, and their guy beat the other team's guy. That the Rockies tied the game on a sacrifice fly one batter later takes nothing away from the fact that Madson saved them in that critical spot, that getting out of that inning tied was a victory. You can put an S next to whomever you want-Madson got the save last night.
The Rockies countered with Rafael Betancourt, who after being victimized by Feliz's bloop double, pitched out of it by overpowering Ruiz, then taking on Matt Stairs, who is on the roster just for this spot, who hit a huge homer one year ago in almost the exact same situation that essentially ended the NLCS and won the Phillies the pennant. Betancourt went with his best pitch, his fastball, kept going away, away, away, and on the seventh pitch, away again, got Stairs to swing and miss to end the rally.
Now, I want these things to be the takeaway, to remember these incredible baseball moments, these high-tension, high-performance confrontations. I don't want anything else to cloud them, and yet…
… Chase Utley reached first base on a dead ball, and that play allowed the winning run to advance, and the winning run scored on the next out, when maybe it wouldn't have. This, too, is part of the story, another failure by the men charged with seeing the game and ensuring that it is played by the rules. They failed to do so, failed to see that Utley's ninth-inning bouncer in front of the plate hit Utley, still in the batter's box, in the right thigh. Rather than ending the play, a foul ball, the contact caused the ball to bounce to a dead zone, from where Huston Street could not get Utley at first base. As a double became a foul ball in New York on Friday, so did a foul ball become an infield single on Sunday-because an umpire failed.
The Rockies didn't argue that, though Jim Tracy did argue the play at first base, which was a close call that may have gone against them as well. Even in the absence of an argument, though, we're left with what happened-a foul ball-and what was deemed to happen-a single that led to the game-winning run. We're left to wonder why another baseball game has been gone down a path other than what the bats and the balls and the gloves have dictated, and to wonder why we allow the hopelessly fallible men to make decisions when there are better means of doing so.
I don't want this game, this beautiful baseball game, to have been about that. I don't want to think about it and wonder how it should have gone had the reality been observed and not interpreted. And I suppose I'm asking, as someone who has loved baseball since before he can remember, for Commissioner Selig and anyone else who can repair this problem to do so, because everyone deserves better than what the human element is providing us.
It should be "The Phillies played well and won this game." Instead, we're left with an "and," a "but," a "what if." I imagine even Phillies fans-like Yankees fans Friday night, grateful but sheepish-want better than that.
In addition to playing well in this game, the Phillies were managed much better than their counterparts were. Charlie Manuel was aggressive, yanking J.A. Happ in the fourth inning when a chance to open up the game presented itself with Happ due to bat. When Eyre was injured, Manuel went to his best reliever, even though it was the seventh inning, because he had to save the game right there. When restraint was called for, though, he exercised it, allowing Joe Blanton to attempt a sacrifice in the top of the sixth with the Phillies up a run, two men on and one out. Manuel knew he had three right-handed batters due up and needed innings from Blanton. Other than the ninth-inning sacrifice by Shane Victorino-which is defensible-I think Manuel had a terrific game.
(The following paragraph is completely and totally wrong due to a massive factual error on my part. See the comments for an explanation. My apologies to Jim Tracy and to BP readers for the mistake.–JSS)
Jim Tracy, on the other hand, made mistakes, none bigger than in the ninth inning. I was thinking, in the bottom of the eighth, that the Rockies might be better off not scoring. With a lead, Tracy would certainly use his closer, Huston Street, against the top of the Phillies' lineup. This would create an edge for the Phillies. In a tied, game, though, Tracy might use Joe Beimel, a stronger choice given the players involved and their skill sets. Tracy surprised me, though: he used Street in a tied game, and while going to the best reliever in a tied game in the ninth is usually praiseworthy, the special circumstances of playing the Phillies-the Ryan Howard Factor-mean that Beimel was clearly the better choice. Street wasn't hit hard, but he wasn't the best man on the roster for the job of facing the hitters he faced. Tracy setting up the inning to allow Howard to face a right-handed pitcher with the game on the line was asinine, and that Street retired Howard-or that the out record should have been the third of the inning-in no way makes it less so.
Tracy also should be chided for his assignment of pinch-hitters. He used Seth Smith in a situation, for the pitcher the sixth, where it would be criminally easy for Smith to be neutralized by Scott Eyre. He allowed Ryan Spilborghs and Clint Barmes to bat against Chad Durbin in the eighth in a spot where any left-handed pinch-hitter would have been a better choice. He constructed a lineup with Yorvit Torrealba in the fifth slot in the order, which is a pretty clear sign that you can't sort out the relative strengths of your personnel. Tracy's game management was a problem in the second game of this series, and it cost the Rockies the third. When you have to overcome the other team, the elements and the umpires, life's hard. When you have to beat your own manager, too, it's probably too much.
I'm writing this early Monday afternoon due to some scheduling issues, which has given me a chance to see some of the coverage of the game. Much of it seems to be focused on Brad Lidge getting three outs before allowing a run. Is this really the lesson we're taking from last night? I saw a guy who started five straight batters off 1-0, who walked two of the five men he faced, who threw 11 balls and nine strikes, who got one swing-and-miss, and who seemed to have absolutely no idea where the ball was going when he released it.
I think Lidge got incredibly rescued by Brad Hawpe, who hit a weak ground ball on a 1-0 pitch to start the ninth. It was a horrible decision by Hawpe given Lidge's command problems and the value of a leadoff baserunner in that situation. Don't you have to be open to the possibility of a four-pitch walk? A 2-0 count? A 3-1 count? Don't you have to give Lidge a chance to hang himself? Hawpe threw him a rope in a spot where we weren't quite sure yet if he could swim on his own.
As far as I'm concerned, we're still not. Lidge may have succeeded in the big picture, but if Manuel and the Phillies think he's now a high-leverage option, they're wrong.
I'll have wrap-ups of the three series that are now over later tonight.

What is the problem?
The single most common health problem reported by people working at a video display terminal (VDT) is "eyestrain". Symptoms typically reported include blurred vision or difficulty focusing, double vision, burning, sore or itchy eyes and tiredness.
Workers compensation costs have skyrocketed in recent years due to the health effects of working on computer. In 1998, work related concerns relating to ergonomics amounted to over 26 billion dollars! And, although musculoskeletal problems have decreased over the past 6 years, vision concerns for computer users continues to increase.
Employer's responsibility
As of now it is the employees responsibility to ensure that they have regular eye tests carried out by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. The cost of providing the eye tests, and any glasses that may be required for VDT work, will have to be met by the employee. However, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is considering regulations to require employers to be responsible for their employees who use VDTs regularly on the job. Future regulations may make provision for vision screening to be provided as a means of identifying individuals with defective vision who need a complete eye examination.
The Eye-CEE System for Computer Users
The Eye-CEE (Computer Ergonomic Evaluation) System for Computer Users is the product of several years research and development at the Department of Optometry and Visual Science at City University in London, England. The system meets the requirements for screening of video display screen users in a simple, appropriate and cost effective way.
The package consists of a computer program that may be used on any PC capable of running Microsoft Windows. It is also network compatible. The program carries out a comprehensive on-screen assessment of a users visual performance. The advantage of using the display screen to present the tests, is that the results obtained provide direct information about how the yes are performing under normal VDT viewing condition. Conventional vision screeners which use optical systems to present the test targets, cannot provide such direct information.
In addition to the vision test, the program includes a detailed on-line questionnaire to establish how the display is used and the nature of any problems the user may be experiencing with their eyes, back, neck, arms, wrists, etc. The questionnaire also covers problems with the display, lighting and the general layout of the workstation. The program then performs an analysis of the responses to the questionnaire and the results of the vision screening and provides detailed advice about the likely causes of any problems reported and what action should be taken to resolve the problems.
The package therefore provides a powerful too for those responsible for implementing health and safety programs. The program is easy to use (even by non-Windows users), with detailed on-screen instructions provided throughout. A complete assessment using the system usually takes between 10-15 minutes.
Program contents:
On-Line Questionnaire.
The user is asked a series of questions about how they use a display screen and any problems they may have with their eyes, the display screen, lighting condition, etc. The questionnaire is "intelligent" in as much as the questions posed are to some extent determined by the responses given to previous questions.
Vision Screening Tests.
Some of the vision screening tests are based on standard tests which would be used by an Optometrist during an eye examination, while others have been developed specifically for the program. All the tests have been carefully designed at City University in London and validated by the Association of Optometrists. The tests include Visual Acuity, Letter Search, Number Search, Muscle Balance, Eye Co-ordination, Visual Fields, a Subjective Screen Rating, and more.
The program provides on-screen results and recommendations for the user. the recommendations are based on the results of the questionnaire and the screening tests. The user may print their results and recommendations to keep as a personal record of the vision screening. The program will also provide a printed record for the employer and a technical report to be take to the Optometrist if a full eye examination is recommended as a result of the screening.
The program will also provide detailed advice and recommendations tailored to each user. These recommendations are wide-ranging and are designed to educate the user about how to use their VDT safely and efficiently.
The program provides a number of administration functions in addition to the basic screening tests and report generation. It is recognized that different companies will wish to implement health and safety programs in different ways. With this in mind, many features of the program are configurable allowing the employer to tailor the program to suit their particular needs. For example, the employer can select which tests are carried out, which reports are printed and whether or not recommendations on the general ergonomics of the workstation are provided.
The program can readily save results of a screening to disk and provides various tools for managing and reviewing stored records.
Benefits to the employer
There is no conclusive evidence that work with display screen equipment causes any permanent damage to the eyes or eyesight. Furthermore, many eye problems experienced by VDT users are related to poor workstation design or inappropriate work practices rather than vision defects.
The Eye-CEE System provides a simple and cost-effective way of identifying those users who are likely to benefit from a full eye examination. Research has shown that the sensitivity and the specificity of the on-screen vision tests performed by the Eye-CEE System is much better than conventional screening techniques. In other words, the System is very effective at identifying those users with vision defects. Therefore, users who are not experiencing any eye problems will be reassured by the test. Those users who are experiencing eye problems but pass the vision tests are advised to consider the layout of their workstation and work practices, as well as to seek a full examination.
Those users who decide to seek a full eye examination at the outset will also benefit from the Eye-CEE System because the program provides a detailed report which will assist the Optometrist in their examination. A complete vision screening usually takes less than 15 minutes and can be done on site, at the employees workstation or at dedicated health-care stations. Implementing the Eye-CEE System therefore causes minimal disruption to a users normal work routine.
By using the Eye-CEE System, the employer can become pro-active in sight health care, and can regularly test all display screen users for a relatively small cost. The Eye-CEE System provides detailed advice about many aspects of health and safety in relation to display screen and would lend support to health training schemes within a company or organization.
Benefits to the employee
The Eye-CEE System provides a "state of the art" assessment of visual performance while viewing a display screen. The tests are sensitive to small vision defects and are wholly appropriate to a users normal working environment. The employee can use the vision screener simply for reassurance to check on perceived deterioration. The recommendations produced by the program can help the employee to understand many of the problems associated with display screen work and to be more aware of their own health and safety at work.
The Eye-CEE System can be incorporated into the workplace in a number of different ways. First, it can be purchased outright and installed by the health and safety coordinator. The installation is self-explanatory and simple to use. Additionally, an Optometric consultant can be sent to the company and install the program, instruct the administrator on how to use the system and offer a seminar to the employees which will enhance the value of the system.
Free technical support is available for the duration of the licensing agreement.
The Eye-CEE System for Computer Users provides:
A "state of the art" assessment of visual performance while viewing a display screen and thus helps to identify those users who are most likely to benefit from a full eye examination.
Detailed advice and recommendations based on the results of standardized vision tests.
A simple and cost-effective solution for implementing part of a health and safety program.ORDER the Eye-CEE Software Program

The Manchurian Candidate
1962, Crime
Superb political thriller set in the aftermath of the Korean War, about a distinguished soldier brainwashed by the enemy into becoming a remote-controlled killing machine. Laurence Harvey is on fine form as the unwitting assassin, while Frank Sinatra gives arguably the best acting performance of his career, as the fellow soldier who realises what's happened to his old friend. Janet Leigh and Angela Lansbury also star.

SAN BRUNO (AP) — The San Francisco Bay Area city that was the site of a deadly 2010 gas line explosion is suing state regulators over documents and emails related to the blast.
San Bruno officials filed suit against the California Public Utilities Commission on Monday. They are seeking documents that they say could show evidence of improper meddling by the commission in the process to decide fines against Pacific Gas & Electric Co. for the explosion.
The commission said in a statement it is reviewing the lawsuit. It said it has already replied to several extensive records requests from the city, and will continue to evaluate and complete its responses.
The commission has recommended PG&E pay a $300 million fine for the 2010 blast, which killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.

A little while later he noticed a couple pairs of little red dots, almost aligned like eyes. We thought that it might be a reflection of his Christmas Tree or something so we went upstairs to check. All the lights in the house were off except for the glow off the TV downstairs. We went back downstairs and the eyes were still there. They seemed to bob up and down and kept getting bigger and bigger, almost as if whatever they were, they were getting closer. Eventually each eye seemed to be the size of a nickel. There looked like there was about three of the things, each with two eyes. The eyes would squint and peer threw the window as if they were watching us. It sounds like I was seeing things, but I wasnt: my friend and I saw the same exact thing. At points there was enough light that it looked like they had some kind of claws and pointed ears. It sounds crazy but it's true. Help, PLEASE
On Andros Island, Bahamas, is a legend of mischievous, small entities called Chickcharnies. The stories tell of little people that once inhabited the remote forests of the island, that were highly aggressive, and that could turn their heads all the way around. Chickcharnies are reported only from Andros Island and are said to have three fingers, three toes, and red eyes.
Now, there truly once existed on Andros Island -- the largest (104 x 40 miles) and least inhabited of the Bahamas islands -- a Chickcharnie of sorts. It was a 2-foot-tall owl called Tyto pollens, a remote cousin of the smaller Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba). Tyto pollens was a large, flightless owl known there from subfossils. It may be that it was territorially aggressive and coexisted with humans. The ability of owls to swivel their heads, and a territorial aggression, may have been the basis for this particular legend, but this is speculation.
It is said that to see a Chickcharnie brings lifelong good luck to the observer. I once spent 10 days on Andros Island and explored its seldom-visited old Caribbean pine forests in search of rare birds. But ... no Chickcharnies.
(Andros Island is a wonderful place that time and Club Med forgot ... and may they never find it. The few small hamlets are infused with much local color. Andros even has a "Loch Ness Monster" according to one travel brochure, that described it as a dragon-like sea monster called the Lusca. The Spaniards called the island "La Isla del Espiritu Santo," or the island of the Holy Spirit.)

ADVICE NEEDED: How To Go About Getting A DJ Job On CruiseLine???
First off I would just like to say that this site just made my week since i have been searching online trying to get information about hows the best way for a DJ to get a job on a Cruise Line for awhile now. Great Job People!!!
I am a 'newer' DJ...as in i have never had a permanent residency at a club, but have experience at Clubs/Events/Parties. Im the master at working crowds and keeping them in the mix.
BUT my only concern in that im a little to Mainstream for a Cruise Ship crowd. Top 40/Hip-Hop/House-Techno is my far my specialty. (Though I do have thousands of songs from other genres) I just never really get the demand for them where I normally spin. Detroit, MI.
So my main question's are:
What are what are the steps to take for applying?...I went to Carnival's Website and the positions didn't have Disc Jockey listed?
Is there Ships that cater to younger crowds more than others?...Preferably one with a Urban Nightclub scene and music style?
And any other advice anyone would have would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks MATES.

(The story was published in the Bangkok Post on October 9, 2008)
MAE HONG SON, Thailand – As the heavy morning mist begins to lift from the emerald green hills, small groups of children can be seen descending the steep and muddy footpaths that lead to this tiny hamlet in the rugged highlands of Mae Hong Son's Khunyuam district.
Most of the children come from the homes that dot Ban Mae Surin Noi's hillsides or other nearby villages, but others have walked for kilometres, waking up well before dawn to start their journey. Their destination on this rain-swept morning is a simple but solid three-room structure with rough plank floors, partial bamboo walls and a tin roof.

KODIAK - Four technicians stranded on Sheratin Mountain on Kodiak Island have been rescued.
Kodiak Island Search and Rescue members brought the four off the mountain Tuesday morning. They took a helicopter to the lower elevations and then hiked to the men.
Steve Wielebski, president of the volunteer rescue group, says all four are safe and in good health.
The technicians were dropped off Sunday on 2,800-foot Sheratin Mountain with a week of supplies to start constructing the first tower in an island-wide network of high-speed microwave communication relays.
High winds overnight damaged the camp and blew away at least one tent and some supplies.
They contacted the Coast Guard Monday morning by VHF radio and reported minor frostbite and symptoms of hypothermia.
High winds prevented rescue attempts Monday.

Wilson's XCS is a clear departure from earlier classifier systems in terms of the way it calculates the fitness of classifiers for use in the genetic algorithm. Despite the growing body of work on XCS and the advantages claimed for it there has been no detailed comparison of XCS and traditional strength-based systems. This work takes a step towards rectifying this situation by surveying a number of issues related to the change in fitness. I distinguish different definitions of overgenerality for strength and accuracy-based fitness and analyse some implications of the use of accuracy, including an apparent advantage in addressing the explore/exploit problem. I analyse the formation of strong overgenerals, a major problem for strength-based systems, and illustrate their dependence on biased reward functions. I consider motivations for biasing reward functions in single step environments, and show that non-trivial multi step environments have biased Q-functions. I conclude that XCS's accuracy-based fitness appears to have a number of significant advantages over traditional strength-based fitness.

Who said they are shipping?
They are pre ordering till oct..
One of the members on another forum got their shipping notification that their camera would be delivered on the 10th.
I would say that is pretty definite, knowing these shipping companies.
We will know soon enough, I suppose, when they go "whoopie!"

Positivity in bond markets continues its steamroller-esque path into the best levels in over a month. Volumes have been huge, and we're left with the sense that market participants are releasing some pent-up demand in light of today being the only offering of economic data. For sure, the addition of help from the stock lever and the technical break of 2.82 in 10yr yields helps facilitate the follow-through as well.
The net effect is a Fannie 4.0 coupon that's now up over half a point on the day. Early pricing lenders are looking at 5/32nds of improvement, enough for positive reprices and later-pricing lenders are just on the edge. Bottom line, the last few ticks of improvement make reprices more of a possibility for lenders who've been holding off until now.
After rallying all morning, bond markets hesitated to extend gains at first following the weaker-than-expected Existing Home Sales data. In the past few minutes, MBS were finally able to add another tick to the to already solid gains and 10yr yields broke below 2.80. Both have subsequently shied away from those levels, however.
Here's the rundown of the data:
With the brief extension of strength and pull-back, there has been no net-effect from the data. Equities markets (i.e. the "stock lever") look to be as much of a consideration as anything so far today. Stock prices and bond yields have been highly correlated.
Treasury yields fell steadily throughout the overnight session, helped along by weak manufacturing data in China and a strong 10yr auction in the UK. Apart from the overt motivations, volume and tradeflows suggest traders were predisposed to maintain the range anyway.
In other words, yesterday's weakness introduced the risk that bond markets would begin drifting out the wrong end of the mid-January sideways range, and the trading since then is a relatively firm decision to maintain the range.
In fact, as far as Treasuries are concerned (because MBS aren't quite there yet), we're right on the lower yield boundary of that range. The morning commentary discussed a pre-FOMC "lead-off" forming today and although it seemed more at risk of being the weaker variety yesterday, there's no rule against it going the other direction.
The overnight strength was augmented by as-expected Jobless Claims numbers and a surprisingly higher Continued Claims reading. Here are the details:
10yr yields are currently right at 2.82 and Fannie 4.0 MBS are up 11 ticks at 103-31+

A bill proposed by Massachusetts legislators would allow supermarkets to remove individual prices on each item, making customers rely instead on electronic scanners located throughout the store.
Some people don't like the idea, however. The Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group says it will inconvenience shoppers by forcing them to walk to scanning stations. Critics also say it will make it harder to catch overcharges at the register.
But Jon Hurst of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts says this move will ultimately benefit customers as it will lower prices and shorten lines without having to devote resources for item-by-item pricing. However, since most states don't follow this item-by-item pricing, the impact may be negligible.
I'm personally a big fan of the handheld electronic scanners available at my Stop and Shop back home in Connecticut, which lets you zap items as you shop through the aisles, and helpfully figures in any discounts available—not to mention informs you of items that are on sale as you walk around. When you finish, head to a register, scan the UPC code with your scanner, and pay up. It could be a little dangerous if you're guilty of being an impulse shopper, but the convenience can't be beat.

Miss Vogue
One Vogue staffer's diary of a drastic colour change
What it really takes to change your hair colour.
Platinum hair is almost endemic (in the best possible way) in the beauty realm right now but what is it actually like when you decide to go Nordic blonde? Miss Vogue's art director Dijana Savor went over to the bright side with a shift as drastic as they come in hair terms - from brunette to blonde. She documented the (seven-and-a-half hour) process here.
Step one
I arrived iPad and book in hand. Michael Kelly of Oscar Oscar at Sydney's Paddington sat me down and we discussed, in an almost doctor-patient manner, the process ahead; two sessions of bleach and then toning. This is me awaiting the bleach and these are the cotton wraps that Michael used to tuck under my hair near the scalp - it keeps the bleach off my skin as much as possible.
Step two
This is the first session of bleaching. Small sections of hair are painted, wrapped and left to work their magic. Three hours, eight bowls of bleach and who knows how many sheets of foil later I'm sitting there feeling more Tin Man than Soo Joo while my hair went through the heating process.
Step three
This was the moment, friends and the internet assured me, when my scalp would be begin to burn. But nothing! Out went the first lot of bleach with a wash followed by a treatment. My hair was yellow at this point.
Step four
The second session of bleach is to help remove the yellow tone. I was in for such a shock -this time the bleach hurt! Alot more.
Seven-and-a-half hours later I'm fresh-out-of-the-salon platinum blonde (see the before and after picture for full effect). It feels really new and I love it. Leaving with a full roster of products – Michael recommended I use the Redken Blonde Idol range – I feel I've graduated as a fully equipped blonde.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - The Mississauga St. Michael's Majors got a measure of revenge with a 3-1 victory over their Ontario Hockey League rival the Owen Sound Attack in Memorial Cup action on Wednesday.
Rob Flick scored the winning goal on a two-man advantage late in the second period in a penalty-filled game at the Hershey Centre.
Jordan Mayer had the Majors' first goal and Jay Gilbert added an empty-netter. J.P. Anderson made 21 saves for the win in front of a capacity crowd in Mississauga.
Andrew Shaw had the lone goal for Owen Sound. Jordan Binnington stopped 26 shots in net.
Mississauga clinched its spot in the Memorial Cup semi-final and avenged its Game 7 overtime loss to the Attack at the Hershey Centre for the OHL championship on May 15.
The host Majors get the day off on Thursday while the Attack plays the Western Hockey League champion Kootenay Ice in a third-place tiebreaker for the other spot in Friday's semi-final.
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Saint John Sea Dogs have already sealed their spot in Sunday's final.
Much of the game was played on special teams, as Owen Sound took 13 minor penalties while Mississauga had eight.
Mississauga opened the scoring at 8:01 of the first period. With the teams playing 4-on-4, Maxim Kitsyn made nice a pass through the Attack defence to Mayer who wristed a shot that sneaked under Binnington's arm.
The Majors thought they'd made it 2-0 at 18:27 when Devante Smith-Pelly scored, but the goal was disallowed upon review.
It was a penalty-filled first period, with Owen Sound taking seven minors and Mississauga four.
The Majors owned most of the play in the first, outshooting the Attack 11-3.
Owen Sound tied the game eight minutes into the second period. Matt Stanisz's point shot rebounded off the boards, and Robby Mignardi tipped it in front to a streaking Shaw who fired it home.
It was Shaw's fifth point of the tournament, tying him with Saint John's Tomas Jurco for the lead. Shaw also took four penalties in the game.
Late in the period, Owen Sound took two interference penalties on the same play, giving the Majors a 5-on-3 power play. Shaw flipped Casey Cizikas at centre ice with a low hip check and then Mike Halmo checked Anderson as he was trying to make it to the bench for the extra attacker.
Mississauga made the Attack pay, working the puck around to Flick who put a shot high past Binnington for a 2-1 lead at 18:24.
Owen Sound continued to frequent the penalty box in the second, taking another six minors in the period to the Majors' two.
The Attack got a 5-on-3 opportunity in the third but couldn't convert.
Gilbert added an empty-net goal at 19:25 to seal the victory.
The game wrapped up the round-robin portion of the tournament.
NOTES: Attack centre Joey Hishon sat out his second straight game with a concussion…The Majors revealed the banners for their 1935 and 1945 Memorial Cup championship teams in a pre-game ceremony.

Army reservists from Alberta and the Northwest Territories got some emergency training in Calgary this weekend which will allow them to better respond to large-scale flooding, similar to what southern Alberta communities experienced in June 2013.
- MORE LOCAL NEWS | Dog stolen 4 months ago recovered by Airdrie RCMP
- MORE LOCAL NEWS | King of Donair event at Sunshine Village cancelled, but Calgary store likely
Around 70 reservists from the 41 Canadian Brigade Group are working on a military training exercise in tents set up at the Northeast Armoury in Calgary this weekend.
They're training in case they ever have to help out with a flood response.
Some are learning how to plan operations, others are keeping track of people on the ground.
Lt.-Col. Eric Gilson is the Commanding Officer of 41 Territorial Battalion Group which is part of the 41 Canadian Brigade Group.
He says training like this is important.
"If you've never actually dealt with something, you don't know how to deal with it," Gilson said.
"So as much as possible, we try to mimic real world situations. And this gives a chance for everybody to practice their procedures, to understand how we operate with everybody, how we communicate."
While this training session wraps Sunday, it's offered twice a year to keep skills up to date.

Because I always seem to be so busy these days – aside, I thought I was told that less busy was the norm when the kids become more independent – I seem to have tons of trouble even remembering what I was going to write about. Often, I have good ideas, quick turn around topics, and such, but if I do not capture the details right then, it is going to be very difficult to recreate later. (One of the "perks" of aging – I cannot remember a damn thing anymore!). So, sometimes I will create a draft in WordPress, jot down a few lines to hopefully jog my memory later. Only, I am not sure if that is really going to work. I am perusing my rough draft folder, right here, right now. I am not really sure I wrote ALL of them.
The top three items in my folder right now are:
3 for 1 Sale at Gangsters are Us: I remember that one. It's a photograph of three people who wore the same gangster costume to one of my sister's murder mystery parties. That party was more than 6 years ago! The photograph creeps me out a little bit, because I was cross-dressing that night and was actually one of the three gangsters. It's weirdly eerie how much I resemble my late father in it – rather tough for me to put it out there. So I won't.
Blame Game: This one is from January of this year, so it is fairly recent. I even wrote several bullets, apparently to remind me of what I was so stirred up about. There are nuggets like social warrior nut jobs and celebrity worship culture. But, I have NO idea what it was about. Nothing. Not a sliver! Maybe it will come to me.
Watching a Human Give Up: I absolutely know what this is about. There was a moment where I saw in my mom's demeanor that when she received her cancer diagnosis, she completely shut down, and I knew she was giving up on everything. What surprises me, in hindsight, is the date of the draft. It's August 10, 2015. That is maybe the day or very soon after the day that we learned how bad it really was. So, it was at the VERY beginning of a very long and difficult year for everyone involved. Wow. That one hit me hard, in the gut.
I hope you enjoyed the brief tour of what is jostling about in my brain. Have a great weekend, and if you are blessed as we are this week in North Alabama, enjoy the weather outside.

(Literary Essentials: Nonfiction Masterpieces)
In 1714, the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz asked a seemingly simple question which is at the heart of all serious explorations of human existence and the cosmos itself: "Why is there something, rather than nothing?" In a very real sense, that is the question which Eric Voegelin confronted through his entire career, and it is the question which forms the core of Anamnesis.
In earlier phases of his career, Voegelin had approached Leibniz's question by examining discrete, particular institutions or ideas which have occurred in history; in a sense, he sought his answers in specific examples or actions. By the mid-1940's, however, Voegelin had begun to move away from this approach and had, instead, adopted the view that ideas as such are only embodied in human culture; he believed that societies, nations, even civilizations, are but part of the unfolding of human consciousness expressed as history.
In Anamnesis, Voegelin further links the evolving human consciousness both with the particular individual and with the mysterious and divine beginning and end of the cosmos as perceived by human beings. In this sense, the patterns of human history are subordinate to the larger patterns of human consciousness, and the question for Voegelin is how to link these two polar points.
In order to effect this linkage, Voegelin first found it necessary to clear away what he considered philosophical debris from the past two centuries. In the opening pages of Anamnesis, he dismisses those philosophical systems which define reality and consciousness only in the most narrow and limited terms; he rejects philosophers who he believes ignore everything they cannot explain or understand. For Voegelin, the questions concerning history, reality, and consciousness are as important as their answers. He believes that it is in questioning that human beings learn and grow:A consciousness of this kind is not an a priori structure, nor does it just happen, nor is its horizon a given. It rather is a ceaseless action of expanding, ordering, articulating, and correcting itself; it is an event in the reality of which as a part it partakes. It is a permanent effort at responsive openness to the appeal of reality, at bewaring of premature satisfaction, and above all at avoiding the self-destructive phantasy of believing the reality of which it is a part to be an object external to itself that can be mastered by bringing it into the form of a system.
In the first part of Anamnesis, Voegelin seeks just this sort of apprehension of reality and history. In his theory, individual human consciousness is shaped by events in human development, salient experiences that awaken human beings to what Voegelin calls the "awe of existence." There is a clear...

Proposition 104 benefits insiders and special interests at taxpayers' expense
If you only listened to supporters of Proposition 104, it would be difficult to know what the $30 billion transit tax initiative is really about.

I'm wikied out
by Francois Joseph de Kermadec
In my early days, I have done a bit of development work. First it was Hyper Card (my young years), then it was AppleScript studio. My last accomplishment was a complete Customer Relationship Management System developed in ASS (I know, I know), tying in to FileMaker, CUPS, Mail, Excel, HTML Tidy, Python and more. Now, before you laugh, I'm acutely aware that writing an application in AppleScript studio does not have the glory of, say, writing a Cocoa bundle from scratch and linking it to cool technologies like Spotlight but, as with any large-scale project, it gave me a good hand on XCode, development procedures, interface design, etc…
Part of my development work was to write the accompanying documentation for the people who would use the system once the applications would be ready. This was no easy task: sure, my applications were straightforward, with as few options as possible, were doing as much of self configuring as possible but they would be used by interns, who would stay in the office for a couple months, some with absolutely no knowledge of Mac OS X, let alone the accompanying technologies. Then, there was the question of developer documentation, what I was writing for my boss so that he could tweak and recompile the code whenever something needed to be changed — we had chosen to hardcode many options instead of using preferences so as to be sure that any version of the application could only be used in a specific context on which he would decide.
This meant that solid documentation was needed, required even for the system to be used. I spent my time developing making notes, asking for feedback, stuffing my interface with tooltips. Then, I delved into the Apple Developer Documentation about writing help files and wrote as complete an online help as I could come up with. Finally, I wrote two printed booklets: one "Quick Start Guide" and a "Developer Manual" so that nobody, no matter how they were going about the application (carefully planning its integration in their workflow or avidly jumping on it) would be left in the dark.
This took time, about a month. But we had discussed it with my boss and he wanted it that way. I was working on my free time to get it done, saturdays and sundays, mornings and evenings — no, nobody asked me to, I just wanted to do my job well. The result? Anybody with a brain and a few minutes on their hands could, without any exterior help whatsoever walk up to a computer, install the application and get to use it.
Today, I am fed up with the number of applications or projects that don't have documentation or help or anything. Most of them have a couple tooltips and a Wiki or a Forum. That is not enough! No application is clear enough to be used from the start. Even Simple Text on System 7 used to come with a manual. Even Stickies does!
Wikis and Forums are awesome. They allow the community to improve the documentation, build upon it, provide feedback to the developer. But they cannot replace the documentation. By definition, a Wiki is written by someone who feels comfortable enough with the application to need "tips", forums require long searches to extract information: none of these wonderful concepts can replace linear, logically organized documentation.
Yesterday, I have opened an account at a host for someone and was asked to read the forums and wiki for help. Then, I downloaded an application I wanted to test and was, again, referred to the wiki for assistance. Finally, I got a call from a customer for help with a CMS they want to install on their site and that, you guessed it, only comes with a wiki. I'm wikied out! I love wikis, I love forums but, much like chocolate éclairs can become sickening if abused, I can't see another wiki — at least not when it's the first thing you see mentioned in a Read Me file.
We at Antonia, my little operation in Paris, have a tradition: whenever we work with an Open Source project we like but think could use help with the documentation, we try to give a hand, suggest improvements, translate things (in French or English). We take time to help the community and write something that can benefit users at large. Why? Not because we want to "cash in" on the Open Source movement (we don't put our name in the documentation we write for projects) but because we are too often confronted with the need to understand something well and fast, and know that, paradoxically, it is getting increasingly difficult in the collaborative world of today.
