They have tried to reach Laotians, Thais and other nationals who live in the Greater Toronto Area. The group became an emerging congregation within Mennonite Church Eastern Canada in April 2006. The congregation has alternated between English and Lao services, with translation into Lao during English preaching. The LCEMC has shared some joint services a few Sundays each year with three other Mennonite Church Eastern Canada churches: Community Mennonite Fellowship in Drayton, Steinmann Mennonite Church in Baden, and Wanner Mennonite Church in Cambridge.
On 11 December 2011 there was reconciliation with the Toronto United Lao Mennonite Church (TULMC), and the remaining members of TULMC became part of Lao Canadian Evangelical Mennonite Church.
For some years the congregation met in the office area of a rice warehouse. On 26 September 2010 it moved into new quarters in an industrial area at the corner of Finch and Weston in Toronto.

Not enough to land in the green room at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday for the NFL's three-day made-for-television draft extravaganza, complete with hairsprayed hosts screeching about fast-risers and high motors, hugs from smiling commissioner Roger Goodell and don't forget the tears.
Or the upside.
The kind you don't need the Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test to peer into the dusty recesses of your psyche to see. Same for combines and pro days and Senior Bowls. Or overeager NFL front-office types who quizzed prospects on just about every imaginable topic, including the unfortunate queries if they, um, like girls.
The measurables are off the charts. What those mysterious charts are isn't clear; no one wants their measurables to be on them come draft day. Same with makeup. Keep that off any charts, too.
No red flags. No concerns about fake girlfriends or health or social media profiles or, shudder, the dreaded "character" catch-all. That, more often than not, is code for being busted for smoking marijuana or similar low-level skullduggery that can make those hopes of a stroll onto the stage with the commissioner go up in smoke.
This is a world of football smarts. Reps and explosive first steps. Look tests and work ethic. Big boards and busts. Playmakers and intangibles. Rising stock. Falling stock. Tweeners. Value picks. Sleepers and, no, that's different than what happens if you're still watching come Saturday when Mr. Irrelevant's name is called.
And potential. Loads of potential. Everywhere potential. Because he's definitely, breathlessly, without a doubt the next …
Oh, wait, we're still on the clock.
There are draft experts of every shape and size to offer their take and approximately 27,431 mock drafts — heck, why not predict all seven rounds? — that litter the Internet. Sources and smokescreens. Mocks and, well, mocking the mocks.
Each prospect is relentlessly picked apart. Nothing is too minute or obscure. Height. Weight. Experience. Too little. Too much. By the time Goodell hands out jerseys, everyone is flawed. His 40-yard dash is slow, but the first 10 seconds, thank goodness, are fine. There are shuttle runs. Three-cone drills. Bench presses. Vertical leaps. Arm length.

* Judge says Argentina cannot evade court orders
* Says holdouts must be paid for debt in default

By Nate Raymond
NEW YORK, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge told Argentina on
Friday it should not even consider evading a recent ruling
requiring it to pay bondholders who did not participate in two
major debt restructurings after the country's 2002 default.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa in Manhattan said
Argentina must not seek to avoid making payments to the holdout
bondholders in accordance with an Oct. 26 ruling from the 2nd
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"If, and I emphasize if, there is any thought on the part of
the Republic to defy and evade the current ruling, then that
thought should be seriously reconsidered and set aside," Griesa
told Argentina's lawyers.
Griesa's comments came in response to remarks by Argentine
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who said the country
would not pay "one dollar to the 'vulture funds'."
The holdouts include Elliott Management Corp affiliate NML
Capital Ltd and the Aurelius Capital Management funds. They are
suing to recoup $1.4 billion of defaulted debt.
Griesa also said he would move to quickly resolve questions
regarding how the payments will be made by Dec. 2, when
Argentina is due to make the first of three payments totaling
more than $3 billion to bondholders.
The biggest payout will come Dec. 15 when Argentina has to
pay holders of its growth-linked GDP warrants, issued during its
harsh 2005 and 2010 debt swaps.
Friday's hearing was the latest development in an array of
U.S. litigation stemming from the country's sovereign default.
The 2nd Circuit ruled that Argentina had improperly
discriminated against bondholders who did not participate in
the country's debt swaps. About 93 percent of creditors entered
the swaps, exchanging their defaulted debt for new bonds.
The appeals court said Argentina had violated bond
provisions requiring it to treat bondholders equally by paying
those who did participate in the restructurings ahead of the
The ruling sent Argentine bond prices reeling and prompted a
sovereign debt downgrade by Standard & Poor's.
Griesa's hard-line stance on Friday further widened the
country's risk spread as measured by JPMorgan's EMBI+ bond index
and sent the price of protection against an Argentine
default surging once again.
Following the appeals court ruling, NML Capital asked Griesa
in a Nov. 6 letter to rule quickly on two issues that the 2nd
Circuit sent back to the trial judge to determine.
Among those issues was how the bond payment formula would
operate. It also asked the judge to determine how the injunction
would apply to third parties, including intermediary banks. The
2nd Circuit will review Griesa's ruling.
NML's letter cited remarks by the president and Economy
Minister Hernan Lorenzino stating they would not pay the holdout
creditors. The officials also vowed to continue servicing the
country's restructured debt.
Those statements prompted a lengthy rebuttal from Griesa on
Friday. The judge said any move by Argentina to alter the
payment mechanisms for the bonds to skirt the 2nd Circuit ruling
would violate a court order from February.
"There cannot be a payment to exchange bondholders without a
court ordered payment to the plaintiffs," Griesa said.
Argentina has systematically fought every court decision in
favor of the holdouts and refused to pay several billion dollars
in court-awarded damages owed to them. Creditors have been
largely unable to collect on the judgments since most Argentine
assets are protected by U.S. sovereign immunity laws.
Griesa grilled Argentina's lawyer, Carmine Boccuzzi, on
whether Argentina's leaders were moving to defy the court order.
He ordered that Argentina submit an affidavit attesting that
it would comply with the February order. He added that "steps
can be taken to sanction the Republic."
"Our courts are not helpless," he said.
Boccuzzi told the judge that Argentina had complied with the
February order and had not made any changes to the way
bondholders were paid.
"They are not thumbing their nose at your honor," he said.
At the urging of NML, Griesa scheduled a quick timetable to
resolve the questions posed by the 2nd Circuit, with briefing
scheduled for completion by mid-November.
He said he intends to rule before the Dec. 2 payment so the
holdout bondholders have a chance to get a cut. A stay on
payments to NML and the other bondholders remains in place at
least until he issues a ruling, he said.
"They have been waiting for years to get some money," he
said. "And they're going to get something."
Argentine Finance Secretary Adrian Cosentino celebrated the
fact that Griesa kept the original payment orders on hold,
despite a request by NML to allow them to move forward.
"Judge Griesa confirmed that the 'status quo' is still in
effect and ratified the stay until this (broader) issue is
definitively resolved," Cosentino told state news agency Telam.
He also emphasized that the judge allowed representatives of
the holders of restructured bonds, as well as intermediary banks
such as the Bank of New York, to weigh in on the dispute.
The case is NML Capital Ltd et al v. Argentina, U.S.
District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 08-06978.

Lincoln has high aspirations for football season's 2015 MKC campaign
DETROIT -- The ad campaign for the 2015 Lincoln MKC launches this weekend on major college and professional football games and will run at least through next April, substantially longer than some other Lincoln campaigns.
By hitting the three biggest college football games and the opening weekend of the National Football League season, Lincoln hopes to get the same buzz it would get advertising on the Super Bowl, said Andrew Frick, Lincoln general marketing manager: "300 million impressions -- that's the expected broadcast television views we'll see through the launch weekend."
The campaign features Academy Award winning actor Matthew McConaughey, behind the wheel of his MKC in a series of slow-paced, meditative spots. The campaign -- called "Live in Your Moment" -- introduces Lincoln's entry in the luxury compact crossover segment, one of the industry's fastest growing.
Lincoln showed journalists five different spots that feature McConaughey in various scenarios as he ruminates in resonant Texas drawl behind the wheel of an MKC. The spots, directed by Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn, were shot in Texas in late June. McConaughey invites viewers to experience the MKC through his eyes in a series of mini-stories.
The choice of Texas was deliberate, as was the quiet, understated tone of the ads. Lincoln wanted to feature the actor in authentic settings in his home city, Austin, and on the empty roads of western Texas near Marfa, said Jon Pearce, creative director for Lincoln's ad agency Hudson Rouge.
"These have a tone that's a bit slower and quieter than you see in a lot of commercials. These spots feel more like small films than commercials. I've probably been on every road in L.A. I'm sick of them."
"It came down to a guy, a car, the road. Each spot plays a distinct role," said Pearce.
In one spot, titled "I Just Liked It," McConaughey confides to the camera: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before somebody paid me to drive it."
In another, titled "Bull," McConaughey comes face to face with a huge longhorn bull standing in the middle of the road.
"Nice big bull," says McConaughey. "That's 1,800 pounds of 'I can do whatever I want.' I can respect that."
Rather than challenge the bull, McConaughey coolly turns the MKC around and decides to take a different route.
Frick says McConaughey's representatives first contacted Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president of Ford marketing, sales, service and Lincoln, earlier this year. McConaughey liked what Ford was doing to reinvent the Lincoln brand, Frick said.
This is not the first cinematic affair McConaughey has had with a Lincoln. In the 2011 movie "The Lincoln Lawyer," he starred as a hustling lawyer who practices his profession out of the back seat of a chauffeur-driven Lincoln Town Car.
When Lincoln announced the McConaughey relationship last month, Matt VanDyke, director of global Lincoln, said in a statement that: "Matthew is a natural fit with Lincoln and where we are going as a brand. With the MKC coming to market in a hot, competitive segment, now is the perfect opportunity to share with a wider audience what our brand offers. Matthew is the ideal personality to help us tell this story."
Building dealer stock
McConaughey won the Academy Award for best actor for his portrayal of an AIDS patient who procures unapproved HIV drugs and distributes them to fellow patients in the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club.
Though the MKC has been on sale since May, Lincoln is determined not to repeat the mistakes it made last year with the MKZ sedan when advertising kicked off before dealers had cars to sell. Lincoln ran a one-minute MKZ ad during the 2013 Super Bowl telecast, but the advertising boost was largely wasted because Lincoln had botched the manufacturing launch, causing lengthy delays.
This time around, Lincoln made sure dealers had healthy stocks before launching the ads.
Lincoln sold 1,760 MKCs in August. Frick said Lincoln dealers will have a stock of about 5,000 MKCs as the inventory channel fills up this month.
Lincoln has hinted that McConaughey will serve as a spokesman for other new models beyond the MKC. But for now, the relationship will concentrate on the MKC. McConaughey will not be used in the campaign to kick off the refreshed 2015 Navigator, which launches near the end of the year.

Trip Start
Jan 31, 2007
Trip End
Feb 25, 2008
Step 2 - Stay away from everyone. (This is to reiterate Step 1.)
Step 3 - Stay away from Altaians.
Step 4 - Stay away from cities.
Step 5 - Stay away from villages.
Step 6 - Find a nice, quiet forest, ...
Step 7 - Stay away from the piles of litter, sometimes humongous, near most natural places where it'd be convenient to sit.
Step 8 - Stay away from broken glass, which Russians like to leave behind them upon finishing their bottles of beer.
Step 6 (cont.) - ... go somewhere far, far away, set up your tent, and sit there. Meditate, if you like. Wait for summer to end.
Step 9 - Beware, beware, of the gifts you'll be given!
Step 10 - Especially stay away from drunk Altaians on horses.
While wild, Russians are also very hospitable. They love getting and giving gifts. They've given me heavy things useless to a traveler; canned pig tongues and other disgusting food items; and useful things, such as a black necklace with a Russian Orthodox symbol, which I wear not for its religious meaning but to remember the people who gave it to me.
I think I would've made it to Lake Baikal, but I was so weighed down with gifts. Serioza and Vera (fifty-year-old tourists who befriended me while I hitchhiked) had bought me a big, hard-cover road atlas. I already HAD a road atlas, except mine was small and paper-back, and I'd ripped out all the pages I didn't need, which were all but the Siberian ones, which were about twelve.
Instead, I returned to Tomsk for nine days.
I failed to find a girl who'd accompany on my next hitchhiking trip, but it was worthwhile to ask. Girls I'd just met have almost joined me. Girl-guy relationships in Russia seem to be, fantastically, very liberal.
While wild, Russians are social and friendly. In addition to, "Pochemu odin?" (Why are you alone?), and, "Net strashnyy?" (Isn't traveling scary?), they commonly ask if I know many Russians in America. No, I don't. But, Matt, a loveable, laughable, not-too-confident young man who drinks coffee at my hometown Steak'n'Shake, does.
Once, I asked Matt how he'd met his Russian friends.
He said that, some years ago, he'd been walking around Grand Haven - a Lake Michigan beach town. Suddenly, a young kid grabbed his wallet and started running. Matt caught up to the kid, subdued him, and retrieved his wallet.
As they lay on the ground, panting and recovering, the boy told Matt, "Hey, you know, you have a really nice uppercut." "Thanks," said Matt. "You fight pretty good yourself." They smoked a cigarette together. And soon, Matt was introduced to all this Russian kid's Russian friends. They seemed to be involved with the mafia, and Matt's friendship with them lasted a long time.
To further sum up the Russian spirit, here's the translation of an "anekdot" (joke) I was told while in Tomsk:
"An international plane takes off. Once it's in the air, the captain realizes they're overloaded. He tells the stuardess, 'We're gonna need to get rid of five people.' The stuardess leaves the pilots' cabin.
"A short while later, she returns, and she tells this story:
"'A French man came up to me. He'd drunk a bottle of gin. He yells, "Privet (Hello), France!" and he jumps out of the plane.
"'A while later, an Italian man comes up to me. He's drunk a bottle of cognac. He yells, "Privet, Italy!" and he jumps out of the plane.
"'And then, a Russian comes up to me. He's drunk three bottles of vodka. He yells, "Privet, Africa!" and he throws three Africans out of the plane."
That joke was told to me by ten-year-old Olesa, who's tall, flower-thin, tan-brown-skinned, with proud cheek-dimples and silvery-black hair straight all the way down her back. She likes telling "anekdoty."
- peace, Modern Oddyseus
Thanks to surly Oleg & a girl; Sasha & Pasha; Vitalik; and Sasha & Natasha for rides!
Much thanks to Serioza, Vera, & Olya - again; Olya & Irofei; Sergei, Roma, & Nikolai; Nastia & Dima; and Yinga for places to stay!

April showers of San Diego record releases
...the latest from local artists
Jay Allen Sanford 7 p.m., March 29
2993 Macdonald Street, Oceanside
Membership: 325
Pastor: James Jerpseth
Age: 51
Born: Graceville, Minnesota
Formation: University of California-San Diego (Engineering); Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley
Years Ordained: 14 years
San Diego Reader: What is your main concern as a member of the clergy?
Pastor James Jerpseth: I think the main concern I have is really for my children and their generation. I have kids that are 13, 11, and 2. I think about what kind of world we're leaving them. What does it mean when there are fewer people who believe or act in a compassionate manner to those around them? What does that imply for our world, especially as we become a divisive country on so many different levels? The gospels seek to unify and build relations and talks about forgiveness. We live in a country that is bent on dividing itself into different colored states and different political parties; yet we're called to a completely different message. It's harder to get that message across and transmit it to the next generation.
SDR: Why is "sin" still a valid concept in your congregation?
PJ: We just went through a whole Lutheran basics course in Sunday school and some of the sermons we had as a reminder that for Lutherans sin is not that list of things your mother told you not to do. Sin is a state of being, a separation from God…. We are on our own, basically, in sin and not in complete relationship with God. But Jesus, who is in complete relationship with God, which is why he's sinless, is not separated from God. He comes to redeem humanity and bridge that gap back to God, because there's no way we can go from where we are to where God is on our own.
SDR: Where do you go when you die?
PJ: God is a whole lot more gracious than I would ever be, and he is more inviting and open than you or I could imagine. Just like a parent would never want his child to be exiled, God is our heavenly parent and he would not want us to be exiled from him. So, God wishes to draw us back home, just as a parent wants to draw a child back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I think that desire rules God's heart more than what congregation or denomination you went to, or whether you said this or that prayer correctly or incorrectly. I think God's love is more like a parent's love, and for that reason God is more gracious and forgiving than we can be. He opens the doors we think are shut.
SDR: How does that graciousness and forgiveness relate to the afterlife from the standpoint of heaven and hell?
PJ: If heaven is being with God, then hell is not being with God. That's a concept I picked up from C.S. Lewis in The Great Divorce. He says hell is a crack in the sidewalk of heaven, and it's a place where God isn't. Only those who wish to be absent from God send themselves there, but God wishes to draw us to heaven, to himself, to eternal life. But, like a parent, God can't force us to do that. We have some choice in the matter and God wishes us to choose heaven, and he will be more gracious to open the door to heaven than we might think.

Kim Kardashian has always had a full figure, but she reportedly didn't realize how full she would get with a baby on the way. At least she has boyfriend Kanye West there to support her, a new insider claims.
The New York Daily News reports that Kardashian, who is around five months pregnant, is "not pleased about her expanding figure." She has allegedly gone up four bra sizes, and gotten bigger in other areas as well.
"At first, she didn't mind because she was excited to be pregnant," a source "close to Kardashian" says. "But now she's flipping out because she didn't think it would be this extreme."
West is reportedly okay with his larger lady, as the insider says, "He encourages her to eat whatever she wants. He tells her not to worry, and it makes her feel better." At least she can always get a Weight Watchers deal afterwards if she needs encouragement to drop some pounds.

Live Blog: The Ultimate Finale Undercard
Brian Stann vs. Rodney Wallace
Round 1:
Wallace charges in for a takedown on the "All American" from Scranton, PA. Stann gets back up. Wallace charges in again, fists swinging, chin out and Stann avoids trouble. Stann mounts an attack and Wallace slips under to score another takedown. Stann is right back up but Wallace still has his leg and is working to take this back to the ground. Stann gets free and lands an elbow in the pocket. Stann fakes a right and lands a leg kick, then another. Wallace just suplexed Stann and sent him head-over-heels to the mat. Stann is back up. Wallace gets another takedown. Wallace lands a few elbows as the round ends.
Round 2:
Wallace scores with a pair of leading jabs and looks for another takedown. Stann fights it but loses the battle. Stann gets up and then scores a takedown of his own. Stann is looking to posture up as lands a few body shots. He creates space and lands a bomb, then moves to side control. Wallace regains guard. Stann lands a couple nagging elbows. He postures again and lands another big one, Walalce gets ahold of Stann's leg and rolls into a kneebar. Stann has a relatively good position and Wallace won't be able to crank the knee bar. Stann adjusts and gets out of trouble.
Round 3:
Wallace gets another takedown. As Stann looks to walk back up, he gives up his back. His face looks calm as he works his way out of trouble and back to his feet. Wallace is not letting go of this takedown thing and continues to look for a way down to the matt. Stann lands some knees inside the clinch and then exchanges a few blows with Wallace. Stann fires off a leg kick that almost goes clean through Wallace's left leg. Wallace gets a takedown. Stann is back up, with Wallace agaisant the fence. The crowd is pleading for knees, but Stann isn't interested. Stann defends a takedown attempt, but with 30 seconds left, he's going to need more than that to win this decision. They exchange blows to end the round and Stann lands some clean blows. This will be close to call.
The unanimous decision comes back for Brian Stann.
Justin Wren vs. Jon Madsen
Round 1:
After an early exchange, Wren already has some marks on his face. He's got a little bit of blood coming from his left eye now. These boys are swinging for the fences and Wren looks for a hard right but misses. Madsen lands one on the jaw. He catches him again with a right. A fierce exchange opens up and it's tough to tell who came out on top. Wren counters and attack and lands a nice left. Wren gets sloppy and eats one. Wren fires a body shot right to the liver of Madsen.
Round 2:
Hulk Hogan just walked into the arena with TNA President Dixie Carter. She's hot. Oh yea, there's a fight. Madsen lands one and Wren smiles back, loving it. Wren has blood dripping from his ear now and he looks for an overhand right that glances Madsen's face. Madsen connects with right. They're starting to look tired, but as the ends Wren chases down Madsen and fires with everything he's got but he cant find the finishing blow.
Round 3:
Wren is getting sloppy but he's still got a lot of power behind his fists and lands a clean one on the chin of Madsen. Wren sticks his chin right out, goading Madsen to take it. Good thinking. Wren might be pulling away on the score cards now. Madsen lands a clean one but it seems to piss off Wren and he goes a little nuts. Technique is pretty much nil at this point but both men are trying to finish this. Wren shoots in for a takedown, doesn't get it, Madsen scores.
That was a sloppy, but exciting, fight with big bombs and heart.
The split decision goes to Jon Madsen and the reaction from the crowd is mixed. I tend to agree with the folks who are in Wren's corner but no one asked me.
Darrill Schoonver vs. James McSweeney
Round 1:
The "Tities" jokes are flying from the stands. McSweeney is really firing off combos on Schoonover. He must be angry about something. Schoonover looks for a takedown to get away from McSweeney's attack and James lock in a guillotine. Darrill pops out. Darrill is now on top and in half guard. Darrill is landing some body shots but James rolls out and lands on top of Darrill. He's looking for the Roy Nelson crucifix and Darrill gives up his back. James loses it and Darrill regains guard. James backs away and Darrill gets up. Now Darrill seems upset and tees off on James. Great way to end the round as Schoonover fought back from a tough opening.
Round 2:
Darrill is in the offensive early and James doesn't like it one bit. Darrill catches one from James and goes down, he's on his back but James is standing in front and won't let him up. James finally steps into Darrill's guard and lands some blows. McSweeney takes his back but Darrill sweeps and gets on top. McSweeney rolls right back. As Darrill tries to get up, James sails in a knee to the downed Schoonover but thankfully it misses. McSweeney gets a full mount, Darrill gives up his back and the bell rings.
Round 3:
James lands a knee from inside the clinch, then an elbow. Now some kind of slap boxing match seeme to be breaking out, McSweeney gets a hold of a leg and takes Darrill to the mat. He's got side control but does nothing with it. Darrill tries to work back to his feet and gets knocked back. The referee stands them up. These guys don't have much energy left. James keeps sending off front kicks to keep Darrill away, then lands a head kick, followed by a right and has Darrill stunned. He puts Darrill on the mat and finishes it with one more shot. The referee steps in to call the TKO.
That's it for the undercard fights. We're about to kick off the live broadcast so tune into the Spike for all the action but if you just can't get enough live blog, you can still follow along online right here.

Cost comparison: Porsche Panamera S-E Hybrid vs. Cadillac ELR
I decided to go check out a Porsche Panamera S-E Plug-in Hybrid yesterday at my local dealership. It's a very nice car, despite having a nondescript exterior shape. What really surprised me, though, was the price difference between the Porsche Panamera S-E Hybrid and the Cadillac ELR.
Here are some general comparisons:- ELR has a trunk; Panamera S-E Hybrid has a hatchback
- ELR has 2 doors; Panamera S-E Hybrid has 4 doors
- ELR sits 2+2; Panamera S-E Hybrid also sits 2+2, but with easier access due to 4 doors and hatchback
- ELR gets ~37 EV miles; Panamera S-E Hybrid gets ~20 EV miles
- ELR accelerates 0-60 in 9 seconds; Panamera S-E Hybrid accelerates 0-60 in 5.2 seconds
- ELR has front-wheel drive; Panamera S-E Hybrid has rear-wheel drive
- ELR has 20-inch wheels standard; Panamera S-E Hybrid has 18-inch wheels standard
- ELR has regen paddles standard; Panamera S-E Hybrid does not offer regen paddles
- ELR base model comes standard with Heated Seats, Reverse Camera, Adjustable Memory Seats, Noise Insulated Glass, all-LED lighting, Heated Steering Wheel, Lane Departure Warning, Park Assist Sonar, Alcantara Headliner, Voice Commands, and a BOSE 14-Speaker Sound System with AudioPilot; Panamera S-E Hybrid does not include any of those features in its base model, but they're available as upgrades
- ELR can be upgraded with Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Front Collision Preparation and Warning, Blind-Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, 20-way seat adjustments, and Red exterior color; Panamera S-E Hybrid offers most of those upgrades too, but also has a plethora of other upgrades and customizations available that the ELR doesn't, including ventilated front & rear seats
- The base model ELR is $75,995. The base model Panamera S-E Hybrid is $99,995
If I go to Porche's website and add in all the upgrades that come standard with the ELR, the price becomes approximately $119,000. (Note that a fully-loaded Panamera S-E Hybrid is close to $180,000!)
So when one sees that the Panamera S-E Hybrid costs $119k vs. the ELR's $76k, the question is whether that $43k difference in price is worth 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, rear-wheel drive, a hatchback, easier rear seat access, less EV range, a less interesting exterior design, and the Porsche crest on the vehicle.
What do you think? Does seeing how the Panamera S-E Hybrid compares in price change your mind about whether the ELR is overpriced? IMHO, if people are complaining about the ELR being overpriced, they should be having an apoplectic fit when discussing the Porsche's total cost!

With all do respect , your kidding right ? You're comparing and "Apple to a Brazil nut". Not even in the same league.
Re: Cost comparison: Porsche Panamera S-E Hybrid vs. Cadillac ELR
With all due respect, you're kidding by comparing an "Apple to a Brazil nut." I, on the other hand, am comparing a Porsche to a Cadillac. The only difference between the ELR and Panamera S-E Hybrid, having driven them both extensively, is that the Porsche is faster, has more available customization options, is uglier, burns a lot more gas, and is even more overpriced than the ELR. The Porsche is absolutely not worth $42k more than my ELR, and definitely not $104k more, no matter how many options I add to the Porsche.
Have you even driven either vehicle? Sounds to me like you're blinded by the Porsche badge and are basing your comments on how both cars look on paper. (I understand, though - I thought the same thing about Jaguar until I sat in one of their cars and felt like I should be wearing clothes from the 70s while turning 80 years old.) The Panamera S-E Hybrid is a very nice car, but its styling doesn't hold a candle to the ELR's, and I don't really care about beating some punk to the next stop light.
If I was driving around in a $119k Panamera S-E Hybrid today and saw an ELR on the road, then learned it was $42k less, I would be beside myself with annoyance for having made the wrong decision. And most likely I would see the ELR gleefully zoom past me in the carpool lane while I was sitting in California traffic, unable to ever make use of my Porsche's acceleration or be able to access the HOV lane by myself. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

Re: Cost comparison: Porsche Panamera S-E Hybrid vs. Cadillac ELR
Blast: Well written. I agree with you completely. After owning Porsche's and Ferrari's I can tell you that the ELR is definitely in the class that the Porsche is and, as I have stated many times before, the ELR is NOT overpriced. In about 18 months when all the EREV's, BEV's, etc. have hit the street and others are on the drawing board, folks will realize why Cadillac did what it did. The ELR, with its small backseat and large doors, is the best EV I have ever driven...and that includes a Model S.

I caught this little guy joy riding on the front of my car today. The photo was shot through my windshield. The little spider attached its silk thread to the window and waited until I began to move. As the wind picked up, off he leapt. And away he went hoping the wind would carry him to a bright new future and home. Sadly, as the wind was only produced upon the movement of my vehicle this little spider didn't make it far. And most likely is laying dead in the road some where.
Spring Spiders Ballooning
The process by which spiderlings will often spread is called "Ballooning". They spin a little silk from their abdomen and let it loose in the breeze. The silk acts like a parachute or kite, lifting the small spider into the air and off to new heights. They often don't travel far. A few yards is common. A hundred yards if the wind is just right, which is enough to escort them to the second floor of a home, carrying them safely over the pesticide barrier. So yes, even really good spider control services have a bit of trouble come spring.
Cool Facts about Ballooning spiders:
How High Can Ballooning Spiders Go? 16,000 feet.
Would you believe me if I said 16,000 Feet? Well you should, because these little critters have actually be found on data balloons that collect air samples at this height. 16,000 Feet.
Adult Spiders Balloon too, just not as often.
Ballooning isn't recommended for most adult spiders. Being heavier they stand to hurt themselves a lot more than a little baby spider. However, there are a few adults that do get out and balloon it up. In fact, some social spiders do this when the heat rises, using the rising heat waves to carry them away. Ballooning without wind sounds pretty risky to me. Luckily that crazy spider family isn't found in the United States. The Stegodyphus are most common in Asia, Europe, and Africa. But a few of them made it to Brazil.
Ever heard of Gossamer?
Yep, High Paris Fashion at that. But that is so last 20'10 spring spider season. Spiders invading other areas. …Scary glasses.

The Association of American Publishers released its monthly statistics for April. Mass-market paperbacks had yet another a dismal showing, and the lowest sales figure in many years.
Average sales per month (wholesale, US dollars):
2006: $65 million
2007: $70 million
2008: $67 million
2009: $65 million
2010: $56 million
2011: $38 million (based on first four months)
April is historically a weak month for MMPB sales, so lets look at just that month:
April sales history (wholesale, US dollars):
2006: $41 million
2007: $52 million
2008: $53 million
2009: $51 million
2010: $49 million
2011: $28 million
MMPB sales are off by almost half over recent years, and the trend is pretty obviously downward. Of course, e-book sales continue to increase, and so far this year, e-book sales have been just about double (in dollars) the mass-market paperback sales. Or, in other words, e-book sales this year have been right around where mass-market paperback sales used to be.

Yes, again, not surprising.
Thanks for sharing all these figures, Doug. It's really cool of you.
I think we're seeing a powerful technological shift in motion.

NEW YORK, Monday—We left the country this morning by an early train. I must confess to departing reluctantly, because I must be away until next Saturday and spend the intervening days in many different places, and the summer has made me lazy.
Yesterday the sad news came to us of Speaker Bankhead's death. I have had the pleasure of talking with the Speaker on many occasions and always found him a kindly, tolerant, high-minded human being. He will be missed, for his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives was one of great importance. He had the respect and affection of his colleagues. His life was a full one, which must be a consolation to his family and friends.
In the last few days I have read a book called: "Beyond Tears," by Irmgard Litten, with an introduction by Pierre van Paassen. There is a short foreword by the Archbishop of York, so short that I can quote it here: "I hope this book may be widely read as a moving human record which illustrates the spirit of the Nazi tyranny."
In his introduction and epilogue, Mr. van Paassen points to the implications which this story and the Hitler triumph in Europe have for our country. To me the book was painful to read and deeply moving. One cannot help but be proud for the whole human race that such people as Hans Litten and his mother have lived in the world and kept faith to the end.
On the other hand, when one sees what an able fight was put up to preserve justice and respect for the law and freedom under the law, one must tremble for what may happen to the rest of the world if such a regime as Hans Litten fought gains mastery permanently over a great area.
The doctrine that might is right is no new one, and martyrs have suffered down through the ages in establishing the fact that justice is meted out according to a code which is above might and which protects the weak as well as the strong. There is one other point to be made and emphasized—that those who have power purely through physical force are very apt, when there is no restraint over them, to become brutal and to use their power with cruelty.
I hope with the Archbishop, that many people who are not yet awake to the menace of power which knows no restraints except the measure of its own physical force, will read this book. But I shall not blame them if they put it down occasionally with a feeling that they cannot bear the human suffering it depicts.

algae i have a lot of green algae growth on my glass and now the rocks have brown algae on them and some purple(not as much as i would like) so is brown good and the green algae on my glass good, i think i just might have high phosphate levels. the whole thing on algae confuses me because its all so different. |
You will always have to clean algae from the tank's glass. I do mine daily whether I can see it or not. Brown algae might be the sign of anew tank maturing. If your tank is new it could be a diatomaceous algae bloom. They take over but quickly use up the available food source and disappear. Purple algae that is good is coraline. It actually looks like rock, not algae. If you have a purple stringy algae that is not good. It is cyano. |
ya ive had my tank set up for 2 months now and the purple is a hard crust on the rock |
Well it very well could be coraline algea. |
nice! |
algea so is the bright green on the tank glass good ?????????????? |
Bright green on the glass is not good. I was just saying it's normal that we all battle it. It would be better if we never had to wipe the glass clean. I've yet to meet someone that does not need to clean it away at least weekly. If it is bright green and occurs rapidly after a cleaning, you probably have a nutrient rich system. Possible causes: to high a bioload, not enough filtration, bad lighting, not enough internal flow, heavy feedings. |

They do look like a lot of fun. Someone put up some pics and let us know what you think.
Got my shipping notification yesterday though it will probably be a while before I can get out and actually play with them.
New toys in hand!
Now I just need a cold front to provide me with some relief from the humidity and enough wind to keep the bugs at bay and I can get out there and go play.
In the mean time, I'll need to do some splicing!
I got a few titanium ones yesterday. Jury is still out. Haven't played with them much. It'll take a bit of convincing because I'm a big Dutchwear gadget fan.

Yeah I don't know...it's tough to beat the Dutch Flyz. What I've found so far is that the Loop Aliens have more fiddle factor particularly when the line is under tension. For instance, I tried using on my over the top ridge line in place of the prussic loops. They are much more difficult to adjust than a prussic if the line is pulled tight. I have to play with them more yet.

Good idea but I thought the shipping cost was out of line.

I am 18 with 45 years of experience ! ................ Hike the Neusiok Trail & check out the NTforum !
I'm getting this impression as well. I made an adjustable loop I just put around my hand so I could put tension on the line and try and slide the thing around.
I'm hoping to use them on either end of my tarp so I can slide the whole works along my ridge line. I suspect in practice that will mean if I want to go to the right, I have to go to the left side first and adjust it left so there's some slack and then I go to the right side and take up the slack and hope I've ended up where I wanted to be.
With prusicks, there's still enough slip you can just tug slowly till it gets to where you want it and then stop. Maybe if rather than going around one of the smaller loops to cause tension, we come in through the medium and around the big one?
Yep, I know what you all mean......
They look great, I got 4 of the alu ones sent over to the uk!!!
At the moment I've got two of them on my tarp guy lines to give me an adjustable attachment point that doesn't rely on a nasty plastic slider but, as they say, "I need to experiment a bit more" to find a good solution......

MemoryCache get in Disposed state Magically
I did many tests, my MemoryCache instances get disposed after some time and always returns null when I call Get method. I think that is after PollingInterval.
To simulate you can start a new webapp and write this code:
private static MemoryCache mem = new MemoryCache("MyCache");
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
string key = "MyKey";
mem.Set(key, "MyValue", new CacheItemPolicy() {AbsoluteExpiration = DateTimeOffset.Now.AddDays(1), Priority = CacheItemPriority.NotRemovable});
LtrValue.Text = mem.Get(key) as string;
}I configured the PollingInterval to 30 hours an seems to work.

General discussion
All replies
This might be happening if ASP.NET AppDomain is unloaded then handler of the AppDomainUnloaded in memory cache instance will call dispose.
Since ASP.NET Cache is meant for web applications, I don't know is this bug in MemoryCache or some design that you should consider if using it in web application. Documentation does not give any instructions how to use MemoryCache in web applications so I have assumed you should not use it.
MasaSam, I thought could be the AppDomain Unload, but after some investigation I don´t think that is it:
1-) MSDN says to use MemoryCache for ASP.NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff477235(v=vs.100).aspx
And says that ASP.NET 4 cache is built with ObjectCache:
In ASP.NET 4, caching is implemented by using the ObjectCache class.
2-) AppDomain unload would reset statics variable, creating new MemoryCache instances.
3-) I attached a event to AppDomain Unload like the MemoryCache does(I saw the decompiled source) in my test it wasn´t called and memorycache get disposed.

A workaround (not a good one) is to change Pooling Interval to something like 30 hours(since default IIS recycle time is 27h).
I realized that MemoryCache is getting disposed after 2 minutes, the default Pooling Interval.
It´s working for 10 hours until now. Before it have worked for 20minutes at best case.
http://blog.fujiy.net/ - MCPD em .NET 2.0 MCTS em .NET 4
I have recently had this issue on a Webapp also. However I have been using MemoryCache just fine on old IIS6 configuration. When moving to IIS7 I noticed this problem. Therefore I played around a little bit and found this is further related to running in Integrated (managed pipeline mode) as opposed to Classic and another 'fix' is to change back to Classic mode.
Not only does this issue cause your Cache to become disposed after the polling interval, I also noticed that this can adversely affect some Performance counters - such as .Net Data Provider for SqlServer which also seems to disappear for that webapp pool instance after the polling interval and the MemoryCache gets disposed.
I looked for error or warnings in event viewer and turned on error tracing but no error or warning is thrown the object is just disposed after the polling interval.
Perhaps there is something in my webapp life-cycle that is incompatible with Integrated managed pipeline and the MemoryCache implementation but I really have no idea what it could be.
Other solution presented are to use httpruntime cache or httpcontext caches but I am really curious as to why this doesn't work going from Classic -> Integrated and in my case IIS6 to IIS7.
Is there any reason not to run in Classic mode given this works?
Thanks for any ideas and I hope the extra info is of use to someone.
I filed a bug on Connect with a reproducer and some more info on reproducing.
Basically needs to be windows Auth webapp, app pool running as a specific user, Integrated pipeline mode and then your memorycache gets disposed after polling interval
I wonder if the app pool user or the auth'd user does not have permissions to do memory management on cache or if there is some timeout on the app pool user in integrated mode? -
So, here's some news. We looked into this and YES, this is a bug in .NET 4.
The good news is that it was fixed in .NET 4.5, so if you can, update your installation to .NET 4.5 and you're solid.
The other good news it that this fix has been back-ported to .NET 4 and will be available as a QFE (Quick Fix...a one off fix you'll apply) #578315. It was backported/fixed and it should be out ASAP. I'll try to get an exact date, but it's soon.
The other other good news is that there's a workaround for this on .NET 4 before the QFE. The workaround is weird, but it could unblock you.
using (ExecutionContext.SuppressFlow()) { // Create memory cache instance under disabled execution context flow return new YourCacheThing.GeneralMemoryCache(…); }
Hope this helps.

text: Kia Motors, sensitive to its world presence, has cut their sponsorship deal with soccer team FC Brussels after the team's president told a Congolese player he should think of something other than "trees and bananas" while playing. In addition to concerns about their image, the communications manager for Kia Motors Belgium pointed out that 10% of their employees were of non-European origin. The sponsorship deal included 20 vehicles and 160,000 euros, which we think is something like $18 million dollars given the current exchange rate. Boy, are they going to feel foolish when they could have had a Kia Soul, or maybe even a Mesa. [Reuters via Guardian]

U.S. Stocks Decline as Bank, Technology Shares Lead Drop
Lu Wang and Callie BostU.S. stocks fell for the fourth time in five days, led by banks and technology companies, as investors resumed a rotation out of the bull market's biggest winners.
Citigroup Inc. dropped the most since 2012 after its capital plan failed Federal Reserve stress tests. Accenture Plc fell 5 percent after saying it anticipates a continued "challenging" environment for its business. GameStop Corp. lost 4 percent after its earnings forecast trailed analysts' estimates. Baxter International Inc. jumped 3.9 percent after announcing plans to split into two companies. Alcoa Inc. rallied 6.2 percent to the highest since 2011.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 0.2 percent to 1,849.04 at 4 p.m. in New York, trimming a loss of as much as 0.6 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4.76 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 16,264.23. The Nasdaq Composite Index sank 0.5 percent to the lowest since Feb. 10.
"People are reducing their risk portfolios a little bit," John Fox, director of research at Fenimore Asset Management in Cobleskill, New York, said by phone. The firm oversees about $1.9 billion. "Some of the speculative parts of the market have been selling off. If you own a stock and the reason you own it is it's going up and it stops going up, there's no reason to own it."
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, a gauge for U.S. stock volatility also known as VIX, slid 2.1 percent to 14.62. About 7.2 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, 6 percent more than the three-month average.
Biggest Losers
Today's drop left the S&P 500 unchanged for the year. Losses this month have been steepest in U.S. stocks that led the five-year-old bull market, with consumer discretionary companies falling 4.3 percent after quadrupling since March 2009.
The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, up 304 percent in the last five years, has fallen 11 percent since the end of February, while the Russell 2000 gauge of smaller companies has slipped 2.7 percent after rallying more than 230 percent.
Some of the biggest losses have occurred in technology companies that sold shares to the public in the last few years. Facebook Inc. has slipped 11 percent in March, while Yelp Inc. decreased 17 percent, Twitter Inc. declined 16 percent and Pandora Inc. dropped 20 percent. The Dow Jones Internet Composite Index of 40 companies has lost 8.5 percent this month.
Since reaching a 13-year high on March 5, the Nasdaq Composite has fallen 4.7 percent. Illumina Inc., Netflix Inc., Tesla Motors Inc. and TripAdvisor Inc. are all down at least 15 percent over that period.
Ukraine Crisis
The S&P 500 yesterday slid 0.7 percent after President Barack Obama warned that the crisis in Ukraine may escalate. The U.S. Senate and House passed separate bills today imposing additional sanctions on Russian officials for the nation's annexation of Crimea.
Applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly declined last week to an almost four-month low, a sign companies are confident in the outlook for demand, data today showed. Gross domestic product grew at a 2.6 percent annualized rate from October through December, less than the 2.7 percent median forecast of 79 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
Contracts to purchase previously owned U.S. homes unexpectedly fell in February for an eighth straight month, a sign of further weakness in the industry.
"The numbers were neutral from an investors' standpoint," Cameron Hinds, the Lincoln, Nebraska-based regional chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank, which has about $170 billion under management, said by phone. "There was no huge, market-moving information. GDP was slightly below, while claims numbers were a little bit more of a positive. It looks like we're trending in the right direction from an economic standpoint."
ETF Flows
Investors have removed $6 billion from U.S. equity exchange-traded funds in the past five days and added $555 million to bond ETFs, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Health-care stocks saw the most money removed among industry ETFs, losing $991 million during the past week.
Financial companies fell 0.6 percent for the second-worst performance among 10 S&P 500 industries after technology stocks. The KBW Bank Index declined 1.3 percent even as lenders announced more than $60 billion of dividends and share buybacks after the Fed approved capital plans for 25 of the 30 banks in its annual stress tests.
Citigroup lost 5.4 percent to $47.45. The bank failed to win approval to raise its dividend to 5 cents a share and put in place a $6.4 billion buyback. The Fed expressed concern about the lender's ability to project losses in parts of its global operations and to reflect all business exposures in its internal stress test.
Accenture, GameStop
Accenture slumped 5 percent, the most since June, to $78.80. The world's second-largest technology consulting company said eastern Europe adds to uncertainty even as it raised its full-year earnings projections.
GameStop dropped 4 percent to $37.33. The video-game retailer forecast full-year profit that trailed analysts' estimates and said it will cut the number of its video-game stores by about 2 percent after last quarter's sales fell short.
Baxter International jumped 3.9 percent to $72.80. The maker of hemophilia treatments will split into two companies, one focused on developing biotechnology and pharmaceutical medicines and one that sells medical products.
Alcoa surged 6.2 percent to $12.59, the highest since 2011. A U.K. ruling against London Metal Exchange's pending warehousing changes is positive for the largest U.S. aluminum producer, according to Sterne, Agee & Leach Inc.
Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. rose at least 1 percent to lead an index of phone stocks to the biggest gain in the S&P 500.
Exxon Mobil Corp. jumped 1.6 percent to $96.24 for the steepest climb in the Dow as oil rose to a two-week high on supply concerns.

This is part of a letter from Wanniski to John Ashcroft. He raises some interesting points. I read of other things too, like residents of America being imprisoned without charge and people having their bank accounts closed for reasons that the bank will not comment on. It does not seem that the main media is paying much attention to this.
See http://www.wanniski.com/
The real reason I'm writing, John, is to ask what the heck is going on with our government's imprisonment of Iraqi political leaders, from Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz down to an estimated 5,000 members of the Ba'ath Party. Yes, the friends of Richard Perle and Don Rumsfeld in the 'Iraqi National Congress' are urging the arrest and imprisonment of practically anyone connected with the Ba'ath Party so they will have a free hand in running the political and commercial show. But doesn't it bother you, as the nation's chief law-enforcement officer, that they have not been charged with anything? You know I say this as a fellow who once told you your background and experience as Missouri governor and U.S. Senator made you presidential timber. You've taken a lot of heat from the left, John, but there is a point where the line has to be drawn on civil liberties. Putting people in concentration camps without cause reminds me of the Third Reich. Aren't you getting a bit queasy?
Did you see the Newsweek piece on Aziz in the August 20 issue, 'A Mighty Fall'? His family says he was spirited away by the U.S. military in April, with promises that they would be able to talk to him once a week or every two weeks maximum, and none of that has happened. I also wonder what happened to Iraq's chief scientist, Amir al-Saadi, who held a press conference when he gave himself over to the coalition's military authorities. Everything he told the world about the non-existence of WMD has been borne out. Are these men going to be kept behind bars until they die of natural causes, or does it matter to you? I can see it would be a military matter if military or paramilitary men were taken prisoner and held for fear they will join the resistance. But Tariq Aziz is no military man, and it should be up to you, not Rumsfeld, to make the call on whether he should be held without any evidence of wrong-doing. No? Above all, John, I think of you as a good Christian, who would do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or does that not apply to Iraqis?
I'm no fan of Ashcroft, but this is just more partisan BS.
Open letters are usually like that, though. |
quote:Let me see if I understand you. You don't dispute the facts, but there's nothing wrong in imprisoning people without charges, so it must be partisan BS? |
quote: Which reminds me, I have a friend who works in Saudi Arabia and he usually sends some money to his family. It was always a simple process until two days ago. Now everyone must fill in a form informing the bank of why he's sending that money, whom to, and what for otherwise the bank in England won't accept the transfer. You can imagine the outrage if that was to happen here. We are requiring from other governments to do things that we ourselves wouldn't dare to do to our people. |
Do we have to kick Godwins law into action in the topic? Really, can this thread lead to anything constructive?

quote:I doubt it. Half the posts will be like yours, that do not even attempt to add useful comment. The others will post known positions and not do anything constructive about it. What I posted will be interesting to a small number that have not seen this news. It seems this is the nature of the Soap Box. |
quote: My comment was perfectly useful -- it pointed out that the topic line was counter-productive. quote: The nature of the Soap Box at its worst, perhaps. It really doesn't take much effort to get more useful than this, though, just a little tact and thought. |
When are you going to finish the higher-res version of the Godwin pic? |
quote: I gotta tell ya ...if you and others didn't post who thought the thread was useless it would die a quick death now wouldn't it? onward to the topic...does anyone here not feel uneasy about the inprisonment of so many iraqis who have not been charged and are not allowed legal access? do you think it's justified? |

quote: I see your point ...that's why I asked the questions I did instead of bringing up nazis and the like... invoking nazis tend to lose my interest as well |
Gendou: I don't know if you were joking or not, but it's not exactly partisan, since Wanniski is a major figure in the promotion of supply-side economics, and a big-time Republican. He was Jack Kemp's economic advisor in the '96 election, and is associated with several of the major conservative think tanks, like AEI. That being said, he comes from the economics-oriented wing of the Republican party; maybe this represents an attempt to take back the party from the "moral wing" that has held power there for so long. The only thing better than Wanniski yelling at Ashcroft for civil liberties violations would be Pete Domenici excoriating Bush for his budgets.
Or maybe he's simply trying to pull an Arianna Huffington. He does seem a teensy bit crazy. |
quote:If that is what you consider useful, I hope you never have to fix anything. The last person who commented that my title was counter-productive was for a thread that ran to over 3,500 hits. I hope you will cease wasting bandwidth. Sonic, I have found Wanniski to be a lot more reliable source about Iraq than the government. If you need confirmation it is not hard to find. There are hundreds of references should you care to Google. These were some of the first that came up. About 11,000 prisoners are held across Iraq, coalition officials said at a briefing Thursday.

quote: Thanks, but Alexander beat ya too it. |
quote: Yeah, well, congrats. Changes nothing as regards fulfilling Godwin's prediction in the tile. It may mean nothing to you, and it shouldn't if I'm the only one, but when I saw this thread I ignored it, only coming into it by ways of the search engine. The point may be minor, but naming threads descriptively should be a fairly obvious point, too. |
uhh, yeah. Its a stupid title.
not because of Godwin's law, which is itself close to the apex of stupidity (and spawn's it's own corolary: the meta-Godwin's law), but because it has sweet fuck all to do w/ the content of the post. personally, I vote we start over, since the topic per se is a good one, and links to a number of related topics such as the US forces taking over and re-opening even the most notorious of the Sadaam Regime's prisons, and bringing "on-board" Sadaam's secret police (the Mukhabarat). |
quote: Well DUH!!! No judicial system, no system of laws, no charges, no trials. It's not rocket science folks. |
quote:naw, I mean that the invocation of Godwin's Law is more effective at ending discussion than any mention of Hitler/Third Reich/Auschwitz. Its a contentless and reactive move. I'm not sure if I've ever seen Godwin's Law actually add to a thread. |
What is wrong with you guys? I can imagine Zionists being touchy but the rest of you seem to be suffering from an overdose of political correctness.
The title was the catchiest quote from the piece itself. "Putting people in concentration camps without cause reminds me of the Third Reich." The whole quote is too long for a title. You don't like it? Well too bad. |
quote: Well, i dont think we are gassing them. |
quote: So as long as this isthe case it's okay to imprison people indefinately? quote: I agree, the fact that people have made comparisons to the third reich too often does not mean these comparisons are out of place all the time. |
quote:Does this count? Newsweek reported hundreds of prisoners transported by America's military partner in Afghanistan were suffocated. "The refusal of the United States to acknowledge and investigate the possibility that its military partner murdered hundreds or thousands of prisoners is a terrible repudiation of its commitment to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable for their deeds," said Leonard S. Rubenstein, executive director of Physicians for Human Rights, in a statement released Sunday. Rather off topic but then only two seem interested in actually discussing the problem. Not as much fun as esoteric thoughts on Godwin's law. |
I don't see why people are so caught up in Godwin's law. Sure, it's funny, but it doesn't actually mean anything. It says nothing about anyone losing the thread, or the thread being over. It just means that if every thread went on for an infinitely long time, ever thread would have a Nazi reference in it.
Big deal, someone mentions Hitler, everyone goes "OMG Godwin's law", and you move on. |
Terrable, yes. Nazi like, No. During a war some terrable things will happen. We are not out killing the people we take prisioner, I dont believe that.
quote: Hey, dont need to trash me, I just asked for a link above. Im not hijacking your topic. |
quote: I agree that its a far cry from "nazi like" but I do see it as the start of a slippery slope..whether people realize it or not there are citizens and non citizens being treated by the US and Canada that are unconstitutional and ignoring human rights. |
quote: Quantity does not imply quality. The issue with the topic is that it's an invitation to a flamewar, not a discussion. Godwin's law is just a shorthand to describe the problem. |
Allow me to quote myself (from the post I linked earlier)
from the earlier article: quote:Not 'Hitler'. But hardly up to the standard that we'd think we Americans hold ourselves to, either. People are suffering and people are 'disappearing' because of either simple incompetence or because the Americans running the place just don't care. |
I still want to know what the hell Ashcroft has to do with the crap going on in Iraq.
quote: I refer you to the Proceeds of Crime Act. [This message was edited by Myk on August 29, 2003 at 07:43.] |
quote:The war is supposed to be over isn't it? I don't see any excuse for imprisoning people without charge for long periods of time. It's not as if they are even interviewing many of them to get information, desperate as they are to find some justification for invading in the first place. I particularly object to families being given specific promises, such as being allowed to contact the person and then completely ignoring them. One expects the government to keep its word or it is no better than the local tin pot dictator. My comment about being off topic was not aimed at you but most of the responders. w.anders 'Quantity does not imply quality.' Now there is an original sentence that adds so much to the topic of the thread. You are wrong about the title putting people off from viewing the thread too. Alexander, quote:I agree that is the reason that most of it is happening, but in the specific cases mentioned in Wanniski's piece there is a suspicion that the Administration doesn't want these people available to answer questions from the press. Although their spin doctors have almost convinced the average Joe that the invasion had nothing to do with WMD, they don't like the possibility that more unpleasant facts will emerge casting doubt on the whole rational for the invasion. While comparing the prisoner situation to the Third Reich is premature, the invasion of another country without just cause and killing 37,000 civilians and probably >100,000 in total is getting pretty close. What else would you compare it to? Treating the inhabitants of an occupied country in such arrogant way after said invasion shows how little the government really cares about them despite their highfaluting prose. |
quote: That's not what I said. |
quote: Without a system of laws, what basis is there for imprisoning people? I mean, they can't be breaking the law -- you claim there is none. |

Stout-Braised Short Ribs
These hearty Irish Stout-Braised Short Ribs are filled with the rich flavors from the famous dark bittersweet beer. They can be cooked in a slow cooker or in an oven. So, I opted to use the oven method. I also added some beef stock to enhance the taste of the sauce. Anyway, do try making these great tasting ribs and the Colcannon, which I posted earlier. It's a great tasting combination!
Recipe adapted from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen
Stout-Braised Short Ribs
(Printable Recipe)
4 lbs Beef Short Ribs
Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp Canola Oil
2 Yellow Onions, diced
3 Carrots, peeled and diced
2 Celery Stalks, diced
6 Garlic Cloves, sliced
2 Cups Stout
8 Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley Sprigs (optional)
Season the short ribs generously on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil until almost smoking. Working in batches (do not overcrowd), brown the ribs on all sides, 5 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan over medium heat, add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Slow Cooker Method: Transfer the short ribs and vegetables to a slow cooker and add the stout. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the meat is very tender, about 6 hours.
Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 300˚F. Transfer the short ribs and vegetables to a Dutch oven and add stout. Cover the pot with aluminum foil and place the lid on top. Transfer to the oven and bake until the meat is very tender, about 4 hours.
Transfer the ribs to a large bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Skim the fat of the sauce. Using an immersion blender, puree the sauce until smooth.
Transfer the ribs to individual bowls. Spoon the sauce on top and garnish each serving with a parsley sprig. Serve immediately.
Serves 8.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I made this and it turned out really well! Instead of either the oven or slow cooker method, I put mine on the stove over low heat for about 2.5 hours and then the meat fell right off the bones. So you could even add that as a third option for cooking it. I served it with your colcannon recipe too.

This may be a Ben's Best award, but it has only received a Dave's "Not Bad" award...
These type of inconsistencies are proof that Dave is not Ben....
lol, I'd like it more if it had APFC and a dual ball bearing fan (which it might have - I'm just assuming it doesn't given the $40 original price), but it is a pretty good deal for $20 AR as I don't know of any name brand 600W with those features for $20.
Dave, you'da man...
Manufacturer's Product page:
Maximum Power: 600 W
ATX 12V V2.2 enables most reliable and robust power delivery
PFC (Power Factor Correction): Active PFC
Ultra silent 120mm fan with intelligent RPM control guarantees cool performance and silent operation
Connector: 1x 20+4pin Main Connector
Note to the casual reader, APFC may refer to:
A. (Active) Power Factor Correction, measure power distribution to operate at its maximum efficiency
B. Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation
C. Albert Park Football Club
D. Annfield Plain C
E. Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner in Employees' Provident Fund Organisation of India
However, for this discussion, the correct answer is "A"...
Amazon's listing is wrong, it does not have Active PFC, only passive PFC or as Thermaltake puts it, PFC "N/A"
General rule is, if it has a voltage selection switch it doesn't have APFC. Technically it's not impossible to have both, but there is no reason it would have both, no gain, only higher expense.
Can't it get a runner up medal for being 72% efficient? Maybe in pewter?
Sure, but instead of a medal let's give it a gray ribbon.
The Ben's Best award for pricing. I plan of getting a Thermaltake TR2 W0388RU 600W Power Supply T Shirt to let everyone know I belong, sort'a like the North Face guys...
