John McCain Gives Away the Truth About the Supercommittee
The congressional supercommittee established in the debt ceiling deal has about a month left to come up with trillions in deficit reduction and then move its plan through Congress, lest the dreaded "trigger" go into effect that would viciously cut defense spending and more. So what if the supercommittee gets stuck on, say, tax increases that Republicans will never accept? Will they just give up and let the trigger go into effect? Nope! Old man John McCain let us onto the real Plan B yesterday.
The thing about this trigger, McCain said, is that it is merely the product of the congressional legislative process — the same process that can be used to overturn it if the supercommittee can't get a deal through! Hey, now we're talking like grownups:
"If there's a failure on the part of the supercommittee, we will be among the first on the floor to nullify that provision. Congress is not bound by this. If something is passed, we can reverse it," McCain responded.
But then what's the purpose of creating a trigger, if Congress can simply overturn the budget cuts, another reporter asked. McCain simply said: "I didn't agree with the trigger being created to start with. So I have no ownership of that."
Now, sure, McCain tends to run his mouth a lot. But if the supercommittee fails, do you actually think that these Congress critters — and the White House — are going to rip defense spending to the core? Nah. They'll just overturn the whole trigger idea, congratulate themselves for pretending to give it the old college try, and forget this supercommittee fantasy ever went down. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing.

For all of us who enjoy the summer concerts of the Pasadena Pops, the news Tuesday of the death of Marvin Hamlisch, its music director and conductor, was stunning. Even though it was apparent at his first two concerts this season that Hamlisch was not in robust health, the suddenness of his passing was a shock.
Just two weeks ago Hamlisch conducted the Pops orchestra in a program that featured Michael Feinstein and the music of Cole Porter. At the beginning of the concert Hamlisch made a second entrance, bowing to the crowd of nearly 4,000 people.
Little did any of us know as we clapped and cheered for him that it was, in retrospect, our heart-felt farewell to him.
During his lifetime this brilliant man of music contributed much to America's songbook. He was a champion of making sure that the music of American composers such as George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and a host of others would live on. He was the winner of numerous awards including Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tonys and a Pulitzer, and we will be enjoying his work for many years to come.
We were so fortunate to have Hamlisch as the conductor of the Pops. We were touched by his greatness.
As he said in the Oscar-nominated song he wrote for the James Bond film, "The Spy Who Loved Me," nobody does it better. Yes, Marvin Hamlisch, you were the best.
I have been glued to the TV coverage of the Olympic Games in London.
Olympic watching, even before it came to television screens, has been my family sport since I was a kid. And it seemed like all of La Cañada Flintridge was involved in L.A.'s 1984 Olympic Games in one way or another. I didn't attend the opening of those games, but I did attend the closing ceremony in the Coliseum. It was awe-inspiring.
Another highlight during those games was when I was invited to attend an afternoon tea that was sponsored by the Los Angeles English-Speaking Union with the late Peter Brown, then a resident of La Cañada who was serving that year as the organization's president.
It was there that I was presented to Prince Philip of England. We had a lovely conversation about the upcoming equestrian events and he even mentioned that he knew about the Flintridge Riding Club. As you can imagine, I was positively giddy to be sipping tea with a royal.
The London games have been very exciting. By the time you read this, the flame will have dimmed. So, more about this next time.
More than 50 guests gathered recently in the beautiful Pasadena gardens of Phaedra and Mark Ledbetter for a dinner held by the H100 volunteer group of Hillsides, a provider dedicated to improving the well-being and functioning of vulnerable children and families in Southern California.
The event is called the Farm to Table Dinner and is designed to introduce guests to the philosophy of providing a gourmet meal of fresh, locally grown seasonal food items.
Alexandra Poer Sherida, of Alexandra's Table, created a feast incorporating many of the fruits, vegetables and herbs grown right on the Ledbetter estate, which overlooks the Arroyo Seco. Not only were edibles from the estate's gardens served, but Sherida also went to local ranches for fresh, grass-fed meats.
The evening began with cool beverages served as guests walked among the citrus and Zen gardens and quiet pools on the estate. They marveled at the rose garden that was in full bloom and a delightful shady area of the garden that belongs to a family of adorable ceramic gnomes.
Most dramatic of all is the infinity swimming pool overlooking the famed Colorado Street Bridge and the arroyo far below.
It was a lavish gourmet feast that was served with carefully chosen wines perfectly matched to each course.
In keeping with the Farm to Table theme of supporting and sustaining the local community, a lemon "giving tree" was set up to feature the needs and wishes of the students at Hillsides Education. These necessities varied from school supplies to underwriting a summer outing.
"This event was a delightful way to welcome the summer and learn more about Hillsides," said Joseph Costa, Hillsides chief executive officer. "H100 is a group dedicated to becoming the next leaders for Hillsides as we turn the corner and celebrate 100 years."
Local residents enjoying this beautiful summer evening at this historic Greene and Greene Craftsman home were Karen Tanji, Steve Nishibayashi, Mary Dee Hacker, Peter and Holly Breckheimer, and Michelle and Matt Van Bruen.
Board members of H100 are Scott Stauber, Ava Herrera, April Danz, Lauralyn Deringer, Stephen McDonald and Jeff Welch.

I have more pleasant things to focus my attention, time, and resources on than Gamergate or the Gamergate thread, such as pouring hot sauce in my eyes, lemon juice enemas, and imagining being eaten alive by fire ants.
"Politician" is the occupational equivalent of "Florida".
I agree with ironbite here. How about in the meantime I run us a little one-shot.
Hmm... How's level 3 sound? To give everyone some class features, a bit of gold, and an extra feat?

Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

Question: I need to borrow my brother's car for a week. He says he needs money to add me to his insurance policy. Does he? I thought I'd be covered under his policy. Is he trying to scam me?
Continue Reading Below
Answer: We don't know your brother. You do. Is it more likely that he's scamming, confused, or bought a cheap policy that limits who can drive?
In general if you borrow a car from a person you don't live with you are usually covered as a permissive user. This means their auto insurance coverages will extend to you without being placed on the policy as a driver.
There are, however, some insurance policies where only the named insured and other named drivers are covered by the car insurance policy, so it could be possible that your brother knows this and is correct that he would need to add you to the policy as a driver to have his auto insurance coverages extended to you. (See "Who can drive your car?")
If he needs to add you to the policy, it is possible your brother might see a rate increase. Adding a driver doesn't always cost more to the policyholder, but your driving record would be taken into account. If the auto insurer feels you will add risk, then normally it would cost to add you as a driver.
If he is just uncertain, he needs to ask his agent to review the policy details and tell him if you will be extended coverages without being listed on the policy or if you need to be placed on the policy as an additional driver or occasional driver.
Guidelines vary from insurer to insurer. If you are going to use his vehicle this one time for one week, you might be covered under the terms of his current policy, but if you were going to continue to drive the car on a regular basis for the foreseeable future, you might need to be listed as at least an occasional driver to be properly covered.
Will you believe him if he tells you he's confirmed the extra cost?
If you don't have a vehicle of your own or routinely available to you, then a non-owner's auto insurance policy may helpful to you. This type of policy can limit the amount of risk someone takes when lending you his or her car.
A non-owner policy offers secondary liability coverages that would be extended to a borrowed car if the car owner's limits are exceeded. Collision and comprehensive coverages aren't available with a non-owner policy, but medical payments, uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverages typically can be included.
The original article can be found at CarInsurance.com:Is my brother scamming me for insurance money?

This May, at the Google I/O event, the company rolled out its Google Play Protect for அண்ட்ராய்டு devices with Google Play Services 11 and above. While you might think what Google Play Protect is, the new service is, it's basically a revised and better version of Google's "Verify App".
So what does the Google Play Services offer? What it offers is a complete online and offline protection for your Android device. Yeah, you may think that the Android platform is completely safe, but you'll be wrong. ஆம், it is hard to break into an Android but it is possible.
And recently there has been a burst in malicious activity on Android-powered phones. To curb this problem for all, Google rolled out the Google Play Protect Services. It provides with an all-around and online scan of the Apps that you download and a timely check of the pre-installed Apps on your phone.
Reading that you would realize that Google just took the first step into making Android an Operating System that is not open end. Which means that all the stuff that you want out of a phone, you can either customize it or make it yourself (in terms of Software). But with the Google Play Protect in place, installing Apps other than the ones on Google Play Services becomes cumbersome.
Why you would want to disable Google Play Protect?
If something is keeping your device and data safe, why switch it off? ஆம், Google Play Services keeps your phone safe but it also hampers a lot of your work and has its own drawbacks. It kills your device's battery; it eats up your data, hampers with your work and more.
- Charge
ஆம், the Google Play Services App provides good security of your phone but it's an app that's always on. What I mean is, it is an App that always works in the background hence it drains your phone's battery
- Data
Since it's an App that's always running in the background, it uses data. Yeah, the data it uses is not a lot, but if you are someone on a fixed charge pack, you know that each MegaByte of data counts.
- 3rd Party Apps
For any App to be available on the Play Store, it has to go through a series of checks and meet a lot of criteria that Google puts up. But if you are a tech savvy person, you know you live mostly on 3rd party Apps and Apps that you download from sources other than the Play Store. But the thing with Google Play Services is that an App that is not registered with Google Play store is categorized as not trustworthy. And hence you won't be able to install such Apps on your device.
- Internet Browsing
So Google Play Services also protects you while you are browsing the internet using Google Chrome. This protection comes in a way that doesn't let you browse pages and websites that it finds not trustworthy. You may not specifically be fond of the restriction that will be imposed with this feature of the Google Play Protect Services.
How to Disable the Google Play Protect Services?
Google Play Protect is a default enabled App for devices running on Google Play Services version 11 and above. To check your Google Play Services version, go to device Settings followed by apps, scroll down and locate Google Play Services. Tap it and just below the name "Google Play Services", you will find a number. The number to the left of the first '.' is the version of the App that your device works on. If you still can't find it, just to the bottom and you should a section named 'App Details' where the version would be mentioned.
For devices that run on Android Marshmallow and below, the Google Play Protect is located under device Settings. There go to Google. Select Security. Click on Google Play Protect (or Verify Apps). That's still not an easily discover-able area but on Android Nougat and above, Google Play Protect is also present in the Google Play Store. Just open Google Play Store and tap the Menu icon present at the top left corner to open the navigational drawer, followed by tapping "Play Protect".
To turn Google Play Protect Off, follow the steps:
- Go to the device Settings, followed by Google.
- Scroll down and tap Security under Google Settings.
- Tap Google Play Protect. The feature may also be called Verify Apps.
- Turn "Scan device for security threats" on or off.
And that is how you can disable Google Play Protect on your Android to enjoy the Android experience you expected. A proper open end Operating System for Mobile phones and Tablets.

Well, I put these on a stock Audi A3 with 17" wheels. Took it down around an inch. Handling is a lot better. The ride is still comfy but definitely stiffer. It's not too low and that's what I wanted. It's a cleaner look and Sportier ride. Be careful on those bigger bumps though.

SHOREHAM — A majority of Shoreham voters on Tuesday decided to take a pass on two different options for building new town offices, instead electing to do "none of the above."
That decision volleys the town-office-expansion issue onto the desk of the selectboard, which will spend the coming months deciding whether to fashion a project more modest than the $556,000 and $1,070,000 plans, both of which failed to garner enough support on Tuesday.

LINCOLN — After the Vermont education commissioner in September rejected the Lincoln Community School board's $3.7 million bond proposal to pay for infrastructure improvements, the Building Committee returned to the drawing board. On Monday evening the board approved a scaled-back, $2 million version of the original proposal.
The bond will go to a vote on Jan. 18, and a public information meeting on Jan. 11, for discussion between the board and Lincoln residents, whose taxes will increase for the next 20 years if the bond is approved.
MIDDLEBURY — Abigail Nessen Bengsen, 27, recalled with glee her long involvement with "Night Fires," a winter solstice celebration in which since 1982 local performers had pierced the year's darkest night with a creative cornucopia of music, dance, poems and stories from throughout the world.
"My family was involved before I was born," Bengsen said. "I grew up in it."
But Night Fires went dark in 2007 when its creator, Lincoln's Marianne Lust, needed a break from the arduous tasks of staging what was then a traveling performance.
NEW HAVEN — For 13-year-old Elijah Pedriani there's nothing like the rush of the icy track, the rapid turns, the way everything else around him blurs together as he speeds by.
Ever since the New Haven teen returned from a one-week screening camp at the USA Luge headquarters in Lake Placid, N.Y., a few weeks ago, Pedriani has been itching to get back on the ice.
Did President Barack Obama cave in to Republican leaders when he didn't need to? Would it not have been better for Democrats to let the tax cuts expire on Dec. 31 — along with unemployment insurance for 2 million jobless Americans — and then watch to see if House Republicans would continue to push tax cuts for millionaires, while the unemployed went hungry and tens of millions of middle-class Americans contemplate tax increases?
SUDBURY — The people of Sudbury have spoken, and the town elementary school will continue to teach all 20 students it serves.
Residents voted 110-39 to keep the k-6 Sudbury Country School open on Monday night following a two-hour information meeting held by the Sudbury school board. The vote was scheduled after a petition was presented to the board on Oct. 11 asking voters to consider shuttering the school due to falling enrollment and tuitioning students to other area schools.
MIDDLEBURY — It was fitting that the crowd should be given the helm at last Thursday night's panel discussion at the Ilsley Library about the next generation of democracy.
NEW HAVEN — A horse named J.Lo — and the two New Haven sisters who ride her — have been causing quite a stir on both the local and national horse show scene as of late.
The horse and her riders, Hailey and Brooke, daughters of Kelley and Scott Perlee of New Haven, took home the gold in six different classes at the 2010 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show, held in Oklahoma City in October. Horses in these competitions are judged primarily on appearance and gait.

John Perry Barlow Tells Copyright Maximalists That They've Got The Fundamentals Wrong
from the good-for-him deptA bunch of folks have been submitting the story about how John Perry Barlow went to the e-G8 event and got to sit on a panel with some copyright maximalists, and explained to them how they are arguing about the wrong thing:
I may be one of very few people in this room who actually makes his living personally by creating what these gentlemen are pleased to call "intellectual property." I don't regard my expression as a form of property. Property is something that can be taken from me. If I don't have it, somebody else does.He later added the key point, that everyone else who was on the panel weren't creators themselves, but were those who made their living off of creators, stating he wanted to focus on "incentivizing creativity by people who create things, and not large institutions who prey on them and have for years."
Expression is not like that. The notion that expression is like that is entirely a consequence of taking a system of expression and transporting it around, which was necessary before there was the internet, which has the capacity to do this infinitely at almost no cost.
Of course, this left his fellow panelists stumbling around a bit to defend their positions.
Jim Gianopulos of 20th Century Fox shot back that "no one's going to argue against free speech," if "free speech" means that someone takes a video camera and makes a movie on any subject he or she wants. But when "speech" is defined as sharing copyrighted works?Of course, Barlow understands economics much better than the others on the panel. The problem is that these guys seem to think that the only way to make money is through greater protectionism and treating content as property that needs an artificial scarcity. The whole point of what Barlow was saying was that this is simply not true. It's a fundamental assumption these guys are making that is false.
"Speech has to be free but movies cost money," he said, adding that he hears plenty about the need for new business models but doesn't see any actual alternative business models that generate the cash to fund big-budget films.
Culture Minister Frédéric Mitterand took Barlow to task for his dramatic statements. "I do not share this apocalyptic vision of some dictatorship that will be creeping back through the internet into our lives to control our thoughts and the way in which we function," he said. Some controls on the internet are eminently reasonable—we need "economic solutions to economic problems."
The head of Universal Music France talked about just how much money was necessary to nurture new talent. DIdn't Barlow understand economics?
I actually see this all the time in these debates and it's immensely frustrating. When people like myself and others talk about why copyright is not that important, and that there are all sorts of other ways to make money, we're always hit back with the "but it costs money to make this stuff!" Those who suck off the teat of the old system are so fundamentally wedded to the idea that you must have copyright to make money that they entirely miss the fact that we are talking about ways to make money. Their brains simply default to "no copyright = no money," and thus, to them the argument "but these things cost money to make" makes sense. But that's only true if they don't hear what we say, and don't realize that we are talking about ways to make money -- just without relying on copyright to do so.
Kudos to Barlow for pointing much of this out -- though, it doesn't appear that his points sunk in.
On a separate note, the article points out that other digital thought leaders and activists urged Barlow not to go to the e-G8, because of concerns about how it was set up as a way for governments and companies to come together to regulate the internet to protect old business models and to stomp out speech they don't like.
I have to point out that I think it's silly, dangerous and wrong to suggest folks like Barlow should not participate in these sorts of meetings. If anything, it's better that he and others go and make their voices heard. Otherwise, these people don't hear the other viewpoints, and they assume -- falsely -- that they're right and that everyone agrees with them.

Beech-Nut And Green Giant Team Up For Nutritious Baby Food Line
Amsterdam, N.Y.-based Beech-Nut introduces a new line of nutritious baby foods featuring Beech-Nut purees co-branded with the Minneapolis-based General Mills Inc. Green Giant brand.
Stage 1 is for beginners, Stage 2 is from about six months and State 3 is from about 8 months. Varieties include: Stage 1 -- Golden Sweet Potatoes, Tender Sweet Carrots and Tender Sweet Peas; Stage 2 -- Tender Golden Sweet Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables, Tender Sweet Peas, Butternut Squash, Tender Sweet Carrots, Tender Young Green Beans and Country Garden Vegetables; Stage 3 -- Homestyle Green Beans, Corn & Rice, Homestyle Sweet Corn & Rice, Homestyle Squash & Zucchini, Homestyle Sweet Potatoes, Homestyle Carrots & Barley and Homestyle Whole Wheat & Garden Vegetables.
"We're proud to have selected varieties of Beech-Nut purees to feature the Green Giant brand," says Evan Eckman, chief marketing officer for Hero North America, parent company of Beech-Nut. "Green Giant shares our lasting commitment to childhood nutrition, superior quality standards and delicious tasting foods. Moms and retailers agree; this is another great value-building innovation from Beech-Nut and its new licensing partner Green Giant."
"Green Giant has been an American favorite vegetable brand for more than 90 years," says Andy Dahlen, Green Giant business unit director, General Mills Inc.
"Moms trust Green Giant vegetables for their family. We're proud to announce our licensing partnership with Beech-Nut, a company that shares our values and heritage."
The Beech-Nut Stage 1 to Stage 3 lines are made with natural ingredients. Beech-Nut, which is the No 2 ranked baby food brand in the U.S., introduced the first vacuum-sealed glass jar of baby food in 1931. Today, Beech-Nut purees are still made with natural ingredients and are exclusively produced in traditional glass jars to naturally lock in essential nutrients and good taste.
Suggested retail price for Stage 1 and Stage 2 products is 52 cents; Stage 3 is 76 cents.

The Supreme Court announced Friday it will rule for the first time on same-sex marriage by deciding the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, the voter initiative that limited marriage to a man and a woman.
The justices also said they would decide whether legally married gay couples have a right to equal benefits under federal law.
The California case raises the broad question of whether gays and lesbians have an equal right to marry.
FULL COVERAGE: The battle over gay marriage
If the justices had turned down the appeal from the defenders of Prop. 8, it would have allowed gay marriages to resume in California, but without setting a national precedent.
Now, the high court has agreed to decide whether a state's ban on same-sex marriages violates the U.S. Constitution. The court's intervention came just one month after voters in three states — Maine, Maryland and Washington — approved gay marriages. This brought the total to nine states having legalized same-sex marriage.

- SAFETY:A shock from a stun gun of one second or less will cause pain and minor muscle contractions. Stunning the assailant for one to two seconds will cause spasms and a dazed mental state.

OC Pepper: Oleoresin capsicum is a naturally occurring substance derived from hot peppers. OC Pepper causes an intense burning sensation to the skin, eyes and throat upon contact. Mace® Brand defense sprays are available in different strengths to satisfy virtually every requirement.
Tear Gas: Tear Gas is a lachrymatory agent, or lachrymator, which stimulates the corneal nerves in the eyes thereby causing profuse tearing and pain, an intense burning sensation to the skin and shortness of breath. Common lachrymators include CN tear gas (omega-chloroacetophenone) and CS tear gas (ortho-chlorobenzalmalononitrile). UV Dye: As an added defense, many of our formulations contain an ultraviolet dye. The dye will invisibly mark an assailant which may aid in identification. Blended Sprays: Mace® Triple Action formula combines OC Pepper, CN tear gas and UV dye. The advantage of this formula is that it that you don't have to hit the attacker in the face; even if you hit them in the chest the tear gas will affect your attacker.
Animal Sprays: We also manufactures products for use as deterrents against dogs and bears. Our Muzzle® Canine Pepper Spray and Bear Pepper Mace® are EPA registered products and are effective, humane, non-lethal canine and bear deterrents.
UV Dye: The majority of Mace® Brand Defense Sprays include a UV Dye. This is an invisible marking dye which may help police identify you attacker using an ultraviolet light to show that the individual has in fact been sprayed by pepper spray.
In case of accidental exposure to the contents of your pepper spray, follow these first aid instructions: Remove contact lenses and contaminated clothing immediately.
Flush contaminated area with large quantities of cool water or a diluted baking soda solution. 3) Expose the area to fresh air as soon as possible. Do not apply salves, creams, oils or lotions as they can trap the irritant agent against the skin and result in blisters or burns. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Contaminated clothing should be washed or dry-cleaned, as appropriate, prior to re-use to prevent skin injury. Caution: failure to follow these instructions may result in first or second degree burns, severe skin irritation, depigmentation or other skin injury.
Store your Pepper Spray in cool dry area away from heat, flame or strong light. Do not store it in an environment where the temperature may exceed 120 degrees F (50 degrees C) such as an enclosed vehicle. The Pepper Spray cartridge may leak from over pressurization and fail to function properly. Do not store unit in a cold environment under 32 degrees F (0 degrees C). This may cause depressurization and the loss of effective range.
Mace® Brand Defense Sprays have a shelf life of four years from the date of manufacture and each Mace® Brand unit is labeled with an expiration date. An expired unit will not have the amount of pressurization needed to spray properly. Expired units should be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. We recommend purchasing a new unit every two to three years to make sure you are always safe!
Mace® is actually a brand of pepper spray. Mace® Brand pepper spray is created with OC, Oleoresin capsicum. It's a naturally occurring substance derived from hot peppers. The second biggest ingredient is triple filtered water! Mace® Brand has a variety of safety products that include defense sprays, surveillance products and more!
Upon direct contact with eyes, respiratory system and mucous membranes, the active ingredients in the pepper spray will cause eyes to slam shut, coughing, and an intense burning sensation to the skin. Effects will last up to 45 minutes to and hour.
Stun guns disable a possible assailant by delivering a temporary less-lethal, high-voltage electric shock. Mace® Brand stun guns provide a powerful and convenient option for self defense. Our line of stun guns deliver a punch greater than their size. Each of the products provide a variety of options to fit your lifestyle and self defense needs.They are very easy to use. For example, here is how to use the Mace® Brand Ergo stun gun: When you sense that you are in a potentially dangerous situation, have your stun gun in hand and ready to use. The powerful LED feature of the stun gun may be activated by depressing the round black button located in the finger grip area. Use the LED feature to momentarily distract the assailant. To arm the stun gun, slide the arming switch forward, from the OFF position to the ON position. The LED above the arming switch will glow bright red and the device is ready to stun the assailant.
Many times, the visual and auditory effects of operating the stun gun by themselves are an effective deterrent. The impressive electrical arc and the loud snapping sound will often make the would-be assailant think twice about attacking. Giving the red stun button a quick press as a warning might be all you need to keep the would-be assailant from approaching. If the situation escalates to where you feel it necessary to deploy the electrical charge of the stun gun on an assailant, hold the electrodes against the body of the assailant and depress the red stun button. The most effective stun locations are the shoulder, hip, thigh, buttocks and below the rib cage.
While holding the stun gun against the body, you will not see or hear the spark. You may continue to fire the stun gun for as long as necessary without damage to the device. Once the assailant is subdued, depart from the scene and immediately summon law enforcement for help. Do not punish the assailant by continuing to deploy the stun gun. Do not attempt to take the assailant into custody—you may be injured if you do. When you are in a safe location, slide the arming switch back to the OFF position..HOW TO
With the Mace® Brand Water Trainer, feeling prepared has never been so easy! This is all about creating muscle memory. Spray the water trainer at a target or trained professional and it will simulate spraying actual pepper spray without the effects of pepper spray. The Water Trainer uses the Original Mace® Brand Flip & Grip model, but is filled with water! Our Flip & Grip is designed to be fumble-free, safe and easy to use. Also check out our Personal Safety Kit. It includes a paper training target for use with the Safe Trainer Water Practice Unit. The DVD features a presentation by a retired State Police Lieutenant covering important safety tips that can help you avoid becoming the target of a crime; as well as basic techniques to defend yourself in various situations if the need arises. Download this great info sheet on how to incorporate the Mace® Brand Water Trainer into any self defense training.HOW TO
Products are the best products to keep you safe when your out and about at dawn, dusk or evening. All of these LED safety wear products run on a small battery that is replaceable. To activate any of the products, you simply press the center button to turn on, again for flash mode and again to turn off. MBNB are best for night time safety as the LEDs can be seen from a great distance and unlike average reflectors, do not need to be hit by direct light to function. These LEDs can be seen from all angles, making you visible while on the go. Download the new catalog to see the whole product line up!HOW TO
In addition to pepper sprays for personal defense, Mace® Brand offers a line of portable alarms, safety lights and stun guns for personal protection to help keep you safe. Imagine being in a situation where you want to scream but you are paralyzed by fear, or you need to get someone's attention for immediate help but have no way of reaching out to the people around you. With a Mace® Brand personal safety alarm, you don't have to worry. Mace offers a variety of effective, attention getting personal safety alarms like screechers and whistles that act as a very loud, attention seeking call for help, personal flashers to keep you visible if you are jogging or bike riding at night and even portable multi-purpose alarms that can be temporarily installed on a door and taken with you when you travel. Each Mace personal safety alarm is easy to carry so you'll always have that extra measure of security with you at all times.

Flying Geese, leading dragons and Africa's potential
The potential for expanding the industrial sectors of African countries is substantial – this was a message I delivered on a recent trip to Italy, Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi. This can happen through an improved understanding of the mechanics of economic transformation as well as by focusing on how such countries can follow their comparative advantage in natural resources and labor supply.
During my site visits and meetings with the private sector for the African segments of my trip, I became more convinced than ever of the strong untapped potential for private sector-led industrialization. Yet that can only happen when the government plays a facilitating role, such as by overcoming information asymmetries, coordination failures and externalities associated with first-mover actions. In Tanzania, initial experiments with industrial parks look promising, as do agricultural development projects and rural transport initiatives currently under way. In the case of industrial parks, it's important to have a one-stop shop for registration and other administrative obligations, adequate electricity and water supply, and good transport/logistics links.

Make Jerk Chicken Magic with Miss Lily's Jerk Sauce
On a not-particularly-pretty, busy stretch of Houston Street, there's a place that's way too cool for me. Probably for you, too. Miss Lily's is many things. It's a great Caribbean juice bar called Melvin's Juice Box, that sells way-virtuous concoctions like the Rise Up (that's wheat grass, pineapple, apple, bee pollen, strawberry, and banana).

Due to persistent and sustained abuse by rapid-fire bots, Link Valet has been disabled. This is probably permanent: there are no plans to reinstate the service.
Apologies to bona-fide users. We recommend instead you should download a link checker you can use locally from your own desktop (Google will of course help you find one that meets your needs). The world has changed since the 1990s when this service was first introduced!

I used to work at a movie theatre. On a good day I tore tickets and admitted my friends for free. On the lesser days I cleaned the theatres. I didn't work there long enough to ever see a projection booth, but I did see Batman Returns about a dozen times, and heard Kiss From A Rose about 100, which, in an era before internet, was an awesome way to hear a song for free.
Like all the short-lived jobs on my resume, this one too gave me time to be quiet, work alone and mull over life's greatest mysteries.
A great puzzle from those days is one I still ponder; that which I call the cinema effect:
It's when an audience brings in refreshments to a show and then somehow during the course of the feature abandons the snacks as well as all consideration for the environment. Thus, the job of the theatre sweeper-upper remains in demand.
Since working there I have become immune to the cinema effect and always exit a movie with my popcorn bucket, filling it with other discarded cups, buckets and napkins along the way.
These days my friends and I are the ones putting on a show; and a brilliant one I might add, with live music and cinematic landscapes. And just like the movies, we too offer snacks. Here's a snapshot of our epic concert coming to a city near you.
If you're planning on joining us this summer, beware of the cinema effect and lets inspire others to leave the environment better than we found it. We're doing our part backstage and on the road, and we invite you to do your part in the theaters and in the parking lots. We've even set out a surplus of recycling bins for you to use to make it easy. Thanks for being an awesome steward of the Earth. You're going to make a sweeper-upper's night, and mine.

Do You Believe There Are Any Clean Athletes? — Sports Survey of the Day
The latest report of Major League Baseball players using performance-enhancing drugs lists some prominent players. It makes us wonder whether anyone is clean these days.
Alex Rodriguez was one of the first names to come out when the report from the Miami clinic surfaced a week ago. Now more names are coming out, including Ryan Braun, the 2011 National League MVP. Braun tested positive for high testosterone in 2011, but got off on a technicality. Braun has admitted that he was in contact with the Miami clinic.
Now more names are surfacing, including Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Orioles third baseman Danny Valencia and Astros pitcher Cesar Carrillo.
This news comes on the heels of the whole Lance Armstrong saga, plus the Ray Lewis "deer antler spray" incident prior to the Super Bowl.
So who isn't "enhancing" these days?

It's probably hard to say this without stepping on someone toes, but the artwork for the Aptosid desktop is not very good, in my opinion. Obviously that's something that a user can change, but first impressions count for a lot and Aptosid is not putting its best foot forward in this department.
Often times I will install a new distro and be simply blown away by the presentation of the desktop. "If it looks good on the outside it must be good on the inside". I know that's superficial, but thats how a lot of people think.

I am not into art (you know, i am what usually is referred to as 'a man without taste'), but i am used to complain department work (
yeap, this one
) so your post is a bit unsatisfying:
What is it what you don't like exactly? The color, the form factor, the logo, the composition, missing [cloths optional] babes, …
Oh, and good that you have mentioned it: Art is really something a user can change - beside that in a opensource community you have the benefit of being able to change everthing… So if you have a great idea don't hesitate to get in touch and post something.
But be prepared to be criticized. Unfortunately is art not a binary business where you make it either right or wrong. For example, if you make the greatest design in the universe, but the previously mentioned babes are included in a proposal, i will step up as the not-appointed not-authorized women's officer and at-least-appointed-in-my-hometown young leader and flame you to death.
Keep also in mind that the design is more than just a single wallpaper.
For a nice overview have a look at
btw. And see also the "Art & Design" subforum here.

Fair points to my rather sparse criticism of the artwork. I didn't think I was going to get a friendly reception to the criticism.
It's this monstrosity that I'm looking at when I installed aptosid,
It's not so much that it has the scorpion in it, but rather that it has so many scorpions floating around in the sky for no reason, over a mountain, with really awful looking purple beams coming down either side of the mountain. The scorpion on it's own is not a horrible design, but this particular compostion is bewildering.

art is not meant to be understood; it is meant to be. if you don't like it, change it.
i'll be waiting patiently in #aptosid-art to review your proposal for the ponos theme.

Well, lets not talk about art, but about artwork... It makes the discussion easier.
@mustard: I very much like the horos Theme, that comes with KDE 4.7. Try it!
And of course you are right, the ":aptosid-imera-kdm.png" is discussable...

If someone has better ideas why not share with them or why not post links to possible backgounds, themes...

I can't believe a serious person would make a decision about a computer operating system based on the splash screen or initial theme. Especially not a person who knows anything about KDE. Such people know that it will take all of 3 minutes to change the default theme to something they like better.

It changes per release but some were imo sub-par indeed.

Agreed but if this itches you, feel free to scratch it. That's the rule of the FLOSS game.

Look at it this way: after seeing the wallpaper, users may be pleasantly surprised at how well behaved the distro is.

Aptosid is the distro that made me use KDE and stop distro-hop.
One can always use the wallpapers, icons, fonts, colors etc. etc. one likes.
The OS has to have simple and easy navigation, has to work, and fast.
Personally I believe in the KISS policy.
Have a nice day.

Hi, introductions first - I am new to aptosid, but in no way new to linux, although apt is kinda new to me.
I was drawn to aptosid due to it ingenious underlying architecture, debian (ie: stability), with that bleeding edge balance, and of course kde - gnome 3 is something else.. at the moment.
But, along with the OP, once I aptosid installed and was greeted with
http://wiki.aptosidusers.de/index.php?t ... ra-kdm.png
- my immediate thought was I need to change that, while I may not understand exactly the idea/approach you are taking with the artwork, I just don't find it appealing to the eye, like the OP said some feel that what they might see on the outside resembles what lies beneath. Knowing otherwise I have chosen to stick with aptosid.
However, I do have a keen interest in art and photography alike and have to said in the nicest possible way that the artwork doesn't do the distro justice.
If you look at the default kde artwork, and the themes you might apply along the way, its not hard to see that the two don't mix well.
Rather I feel that the 'crux' theme might be well suited to the default BG.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I only intend to see this distro grow and, with the groundwork as it currently stands it has a huge amount of potential!

typical artwork discussion found here:
http://aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphp ... p;start=15
please note the comments of my fave writer (me) under "disembowel steve ballmer, nail jobs to an ipad".
to this i'd only add, I'M FEELIN THE OP'S LINKED-TO APTOSID ARTWORK (tho the OP is fully entitled to his opinions and other orofices).
as you can see by my avatar, coming upon aptosid after far too long wandering in the parched desert of shoddy/overpriced proprietary and half-baked foss software... coming upon the oasis of aptosid was a spiritual/semi-religious experience for me.
i'm probably not the only one, around here.
so looking up at radiance emanating from a tall rocky mountain-top, with a weird hermaphrodite crab/scorpion thing whose origins are lost in the shifting mists of time and the light-speed evolutions of the interweb scuttling aroun... I FEEL IT.

The aptosid artwork got worse and more inconsistent in recent releases, a concept is not perceivable anymore.

The aptosid first-time posters got worse and (yet) more consistent in recent times, a concept of constructive criticism or self-made contributions is not perceivable anymore.
(as you might notice, the thread was about another theme than the last poster seem to imply -- the main-color in the last one changed in respect to the previous one. Is that to be criticized? Is it the usage of fred? [you are going to hate the next one then] If someone really cares (s)he would write a constructive criticism and our awesome heros of artwork could maybe have an eye on that next time. But general 'bla bla everything sucks bla bla dumb bla bla' doesn't help anyone…)
Just remember that taste is subjective and a constant inconsistency would be a consistency in itself. Other people need to go to the jungle to get 'famous' again. Seems like we just need to release a new artwork to get us into everybody's mind. Mission accomplished i would say.
(and that is only the worst interpretation for those who absolutely dislike the artwork. All others can actually enjoy them. Win-win)

Whether a person likes artwork or not is highly subjective. I like the splash screen described by the original poster, as well as the previous (abtosid tree) splash screen. There have been a few themes that I really disliked (I hate grey!) but instead of complaining, I just took the 3 minutes to change them to something I liked.
I tend to change wallpapers every 6-8 weeks or so, mostly adding 1 of 2 aptosid logos to a picture that I like (easy enough to do in Gimp). Much of the time I will use a photo that I have taken myself.

Marine biologist and former secret agent Doc Ford is on the hunt for stolen artifacts in the latest mystery by Sanibel Island author Randy Wayne White.
White, whose novel "Bone Deep" marks the 21st book in his New York Times-best selling Doc Ford series, said he had always wanted to match book-for-book the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald, a prolific author of novels and short stories credited with spawning a new generation of Florida crime writers from Tim Dorsey to Carl Hiaasen.
In the latest installment of the Doc Ford series, Doc and Tomlinson are asked by a Crow Indian to investigate a stolen tribal carving and the trail leads them to Bone Valley, a region of central Florida known for its black market in artifacts and a booming phosphate industry.
According to White, the plot came from a real experience he had with a Yavapai-Apache named Dean Fallsdown, who needed his help in finding "two little people" lost in Florida.
The two had met years earlier during one of White's trips to Arizona.
"He invited me to a sweat lodge at the reservation in Arizona and I went. It was just torturous," said White. "Dean and I became friends and I realized he was the medicine man of the Yavapai-Apache."
White didn't understand what Fallsdown meant by "two little people," but learned that he was referring to priceless stone carvings that disappeared from his tribe 40 years earlier. After reaching out to some archeologists he knew in Florida who connected him to artifact collectors, White made contact with the man who had the carvings.
He wasn't sure how the collector had come into possession of the carvings, but a year later the tribe got their "two little people" back, and White got an idea for a new novel.
The next step in his process was to research the unique geology and underground economy of Bone Valley.
Fossils and phosphate in that part of Florida are interconnected. The ground in that region is essentially layers of bones and fossils that are slowly crushed and processed into phosphate, meaning one industry couldn't exist without the other.
"It was a fascinating subject to research and during that research I went up to the largest phosphate mine in Florida and I was shocked at the number of fossils that create the geological strata beneath the surface of that region," he said.
Besides publishing multiple novels a year, White also learned that CBS was developing his books into a television series with writer Chris Gerolmo and producer Jeffrey Kramer.
The last book from his Hannah Smith series, "Deceived," about a strong female boat captain solving mysteries on Sanibel Island, earned him a gold medal in General Fiction from the 2014 Florida Book Awards.
White, not one to take time away from writing, is in the process of finishing another Hannah Smith novel called "Haunted."
"I never take a break," he said. "I am devoted to them both."

There's a new taphouse in Denver but it's in a place that you'll probably only go to if you're on your way to the airport. The Boulder Beer Company has licensed the new Boulder Beer Taphouse in the main terminal at Denver International Airport that opened on August 1st, 2008. The Taphouse features many of Boulder Beer's regular and seasonal offerings. Got a delayed flight or just waiting for someone to arrive at the main terminal? Why not stop and enjoy one of many cold Boulder Beer ales while you point and laugh at the poor people waiting in line to go through security. Now, hanging out in the main terminal never sounded so good. Boulder Beer website.
Follow-up news (October 2008): Boulder Beer's Marketing Director Dan Weitz talked about other places around the DIA concourses where you can also drink some Boulder beer:
At the airport, Lefty's has a bar in all the concourses that carries at least 3 of our beers on draft. They're owned by the same company that operates our Boulder Beer Taphouse (it's a licensing thing – we go out there as much as possible, but we/they have no ownership interest in each other. That explains the polo shirts on the staff. I'm working on loosening them up a bit, and hopefully by next summer they'll be allowed to wear shorts, bowling shirts, etc. and be a little more "Boulder." While we trained them prior to opening about beer and specifically our beer, they don't actually work for the brewery.)So don't fret if you had to race through security to get to your gate, you can still find a Boulder Beer out on the concourse at DIA. It may make a delayed flight a bit more tolerable.

Express yourself
A large part of developing successful indicators is being clear, specific and objective about the concepts. For example, it is not sufficient to simply state "when the market is in an uptrend…" You must define what exactly it is that constitutes an uptrend. Examples of specific definitions might be "three consecutive higher highs," "a nine-period moving average crossing above a 30-period moving average" or "ADX is over 20."
Going back to our example of combining average price and average volume, we now must define every aspect of the concept and create a method of expressing this relationship objectively. First, we define the average price and volume as 40-day averages (see "Objectively speaking," below).
Average Price = Average closing price over the past 40 days
Average Volume = Average volume over the past 40 days
Because price and volume have many different values and scales, we attempt to express one in terms of the other. In this case, we create a formula to express volume relative to price so both can be viewed simultaneously. One way to accomplish this is to look back and determine a range for both price and volume, and then build a formula that normalizes average volume to fit into the average price scale. We look back over a fairly significant amount of time (200 days) to create the range values:
Price range = (Highest average price of the past 200 days) – (Lowest average price of the past 200 days)
Volume range = (Highest average volume of the past 200 days) – (Lowest average volume of the past 200 days)
We then build a formula that normalizes volume:
Relative average volume = ((Average volume) – (Lowest average volume of past 200 days) / (Volume range * Price range)) + Lowest average price of last 200 days
Now that this relationship has been defined, we can continue the process of converting the concept into a custom indicator that can be applied to a price chart.

"Pennsylvania's charter schools and cyber charter schools have generally worked well and have benefitted many Pennsylvania families, particularly those students in low-performing school districts," Rep. Mike Reese (R-Fayette/Westmoreland) said. "Our goal in developing this package was simple: to propose fair and responsible changes to charter school funding while preserving parental options for our Commonwealth's students."
"Every school district in the Commonwealth can save money under this plan and lessen the burden on property taxpayers," Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton) said. "We have heard the concerns from school districts and are responding, while protecting the very important educational options available for parents and students."
"Our current funding system does not reflect actual special education populations in our schools," Rep. Bernie O'Neill (R-Bucks) said. "So, whether a public school or charter school, our special education funding formulas need to be overhauled; this legislation will accomplish that."
The Charter and Cyber Charter Funding Reform Package consists of the following:
According to House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny), as a package, these legislative proposals work within the current school district cost structures and ensure all students are able to learn in the environment that is best for them. Turzai emphasized the package is a starting point for discussions with all interested parties as the legislature develops a consensus fair to the taxpayers and to Pennsylvania's families.
"We are hopeful that with the launching of this funding package a consensus will emerge, leading to a fair funding approach, but also enactment of policy reforms to improve this important public school option," Turzai said.
Pennsylvania Charter School Facts:
By the numbers, currently there are:
Actual charter payments for non-special education students:
