Research on
NEW: The Composition Filters model now supports
crosscutting across multiple components/objects.
recent paper can be found here in pdf format (431 KB)
Composition Filters has been developed by the TRESE group, at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Twente, The Netherlands.
The Composition Filters model provides a set of filters and it has four important characteristics:
Modular extension: Each filter enhances a class abstraction (expressed
for example in Java) in a modular way. A modular extension means that a filter
can be attached to a class without necessarily modifying the definition of that class. | |
Orthogonal extension: Orthogonal extension means that each filter extension to a
class is independent from other filter extensions. This allows easy composition of
multiple filters. | |
Open-ended: New filters may be introduced if necessary. | |
Aspect-oriented: Each filter represents an aspect (concern). Filters are
predefined and have a well-defined semantics. | |
Declarative: A filter specification describes what it means but not how it is
implemented. |
We advise you to first read the paper Solving the Modeling Problems of Object-Oriented Languages by Composing Multiple Aspects Using Composition Filters, since this paper introduces a set of problems and possible solutions to these problems using the composition-filters approach.

Opposition seeks raise in LPG cap
Moily says govt considering demands to revise the cap
"Is it possible for a family with five members to manage their kitchen with just six cylinders in a year? Keeping the sentiments of the House, will you consider withdrawing the decision or do away with the rationing ?" Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj asked during Question Hour.
She said, government's decision to limit the supply of subsidised LPG cylinders to six has created furore all over the country. Families which need extra cylinders will have to purchase them at a whopping Rs 900.
Attacking the government on the issue, Sudip Bandopadhyay of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) said cap on LPG cylinder was the only reason they pulled out from the UPA. "Our long pending demand is that the cap on subsidised LPG cylinders should be increased and for this reason only we pulled out from the government," he said.
Bandopadhyay requested Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily to increase the quota of subsidised LPG cylinders to 24 per family in a year and sought the government's reply on the issue at the earliest.
'Decision to revise cap'
Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Moily said: "We do agree that there is a demand for increase, but on the question of how much to be increased, I will be discussing it with the Finance Minister and also with the Prime Minister. We are considering it and we require a few days," he said.
However, Moily maintained that the government's compulsion for imposing cap on cooking gas was quite clear. "As far as diesel, kerosene and LPG are concerned, more than Rs 1.64 lakh crore is paid as subsidy. Even with a cap of six cylinders the subsidy burden is Rs 36,000 crore per annum. In fact, many of these marketing companies are bleeding. Some of them are not in a position to purchase raw materials," he said.

Novella it calls, as ever wanting and never tireless as always, seeping in through the darkest places of ur soul to obscure the light. What if suddenly every thing u new was worthless nothing but a figment of ur imagination, what if the power was urs to be all and end all, would you take it? Or would the dreary existance of a mere mortal be enough to surffice? The question is not wether u are strong enough to deny ur own cravings, it is wether u are strong enough to deny the cravings of all humanity. If not the world may fall into a darkness unknown before in its completeness, may god help us all...

Like hearts, wineglasses are fragile, full of goodness, and frequently broken. Live life to the brim with this Groupon
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for a winery-tour package for two (a $10 value/person) with two souvenir glasses (a $2.50 value each), two glasses of wine (a $10 value) and a complimentary wine tasting (a $35 total value)
- $18 for the winery-tour package for four (a $70 total value)<p>
The winery tour lets guests explore Treehouse Vineyards' inner workings, from the vats of fermenting grape libations to the casks of wine. A knowledgeable guide explains the process from vine to glass while showing visitors the rooms, machinery, and grape-stained toes necessary to craft each varietal. Visitors can also enjoy a full glass of their favored variety, including cabernets, merlots rieslings, or blends of muscadines.
Treehouse Vineyards
Grape ranchers Phil and Dianne Nordan preside over a rotating flock of wines, which fuel the sounds of clinking glasses in their treehouse nestled high in the arms of a towering oak on their land. A treehouse aficionado from an early age, Phil decided to build a treehouse for adults on his farm in 1999, equipping it with furniture, an indoor fireplace, and phone. Later, after growing vines on the farm's land for more than 50 years, the duo decided to plant a vineyard in 2004, and thus Treehouse Vineyards was born.
Many of the Nordan's wines are culled from native grapes, including one strain claiming centuries-old lineage from the Mother Vine in Manteo. Nurtured with organic fertilizer, the vineyard's crew ultimately fills bottles with concoctions ranging from its Crystal Creek magnolia muscadine to the bolder Tack Shack Red, perfect for toasting a special occasion or christening a spouse's shoe before they go to work. Other varietals include cabernet sauvignons, merlots, and dulcet riesling. Down the hill overlooking the pond rests Papa's Dream Treehouse, one of the property's two secluded treetop bungalows straight from the pages of a child's imagination. Available for overnight rentals only, the treehouse boasts a grill, kitchenette, and lofted bedroom for an all-encompassing visit.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources

- - Saltwater Trumpet fish
Saltwater Trumpet fish We just acquired a 2ft Trumpet fish.He/she is allready weaned off live food.Just looking 4 more in depth info. on them.Housemates,type of housing(rock or plant),feeding habits and lifespan,etc.? |
Hi, I'll help however I can. I'm curious, how big of a tank is your trumpet fish in at present? Trumpets top out at just over 30 inches and will eat any other fish they are able to. The trick for finding something compatible will be to find something large enough to not be food and peaceful enough to not bother the trumpetfish... some of your angelfish might be possibilties, also some of the larger tangs (like the unicorn tang). Please be sure there is plenty of space for all fish and that filtration is good. I didn't see a whole lot of info posted on them online, and some of what I saw was inaccurate. I don't know what the life span is on them, but I do know it is potentially very long (20 - 30+ yrs) if they are housed properly, which can be hard to do because of their size. The trumpet fish is a predator, and it stalks it's prey. Trumpets tend to swim in "open spaces" around reefs, stalking other fish for food and patroling the reef. They are also found in deeper waters of the reefs, if that helps. Do some studying about reefs and their makeup at depths of 15 - 30 ft and you'll find the natrual habitat of the trumpet fish. Here is a bit of reading and referral to other reference materials that can help get you started: http://www.amonline.net.au/FISHES/fi...sh/achinen.htm Hope this helps. Can you post a pic for us to see? |
Trumpet Fish Thanx For your reply,Dawn! I think weve found the same info.Didn't know about their life span.He/she is in a 300+ tank.Not alot of live rock(swimming room)Added some tall fake plants.Now it hangs out Head down.It waits in that position for smaller prey too swim/scuttle by in the wild. Have it weaned off live food.Now it eats enriched silversides/whole shrimp.I'ts as close too its natural prey as possible.He's housed with angel,tang,wrasse. Seem too all do fine.No fin nipping.He is defintely my gentle giant! |

- "I'm happy that I will be resuming work soon," says Zarbistan Khan, who owns and drives a tanker that takes oil from the southern port city Karachi to Afghanistan. But the joy comes under the shadow of a Taliban threat to attack supply convoys.
"We will do our best to stop the NATO supply and will never allow someone to ship weapons for killing Muslims," Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan has declared.
Pakistan's roads are primarily used for sending oil and other supplies, not weapons. In 2007, the military was burning 575,000 gallons of fuel per day in Afghanistan, and 80 percent of this fuel came from Pakistani refineries. But this supply too is under threat.
"We don't have much confidence the government can provide us foolproof security," Akram Khan Durrani, chairman of the All Pakistan Oil Tankers Owners Association tells IPS sitting in the comfort of his airconditioned office in Karachi's Shireen Jinnah colony.
Since NATO supplies via Pakistan began in 2001, Durrani says at least 150 drivers and cleaners who accompany drivers had been killed, and many more have suffered serious injuries. Hundreds of vehicles have been torched in militant attacks.
In 2008, 42 oil tankers were destroyed in a single attack. The same year 300 militants attacked a freight terminal in Peshawar, setting fire to 96 supply trucks and six containers.
"We need more security this time as the militants have openly threatened us and said not only the NATO trucks and tankers will be attacked, but the drivers and cleaners will be beheaded," says Durrani. Of a total of 4,500 tanker trucks, about 2,200 are available to take NATO oil supplies to Afghanistan. The rest are used for domestic ferrying.
Driver Ziauddin Afridi believes it will take time to get moving. "It will take us a good one month," he says, pointing at the hundreds of vehicles parked on the road facing the Arabian Sea. "These tankers have been sitting lifeless on the road for over seven months. They need overhauling – the tyres, the engine, batteries and the paintwork – all this will take time."
Mechanic Abdul Ghaffar has already begun work. He and his four brothers are the only ones in the area who can repair a Chinese-made Mercedes engine. "We used to earn between Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 (53 to 106 dollars) comfortably on a given day before the NATO blockade, and we worked from 9am to 9pm." In the last seven months Ghaffar says they were lucky if they could take home that much in a week.
Mirbaz Khan is a welder working out of a huge steel trunk chained to a wall outside Ghaffar's shop. "It's all about money," he says, wiping his oil-stained hands on a rag. "The more they (Taliban) damage the vehicles, the more work there is for me."
Truck artists too are jubilant about the reopening. "We've already got orders to decorate the vehicles," Haider Ali tells IPS. "The past few months have been very difficult."
NATO – Relief for Small Traders from IPS Inter Press Service on Vimeo.
The reopening, he says, will benefit several other small businesses linked to trucking – dent fixers, painters, electricians, mechanics of all sorts, body-makers, decorators, and restaurant and tea shops owners.
Even the highway police will 'benefit'. Drivers say that more than the threat from the militants they dread harassment by the highway police. "We have to bribe our way through, otherwise they do not let our vehicles pass. But no one talks about this injustice," says Rahat Khan, who has been a driver since 1990.
Pakistan cut off the supply line in protest after a deadly air raid by NATO forces on two Pakistani checkposts on Nov. 26 last year killed 24 soldiers. The blockade has cost the U.S. more than a billion dollars in extra shipping fees through Central Asia.
Pakistan decided to reopen the route after the U.S. apologised for killing the soldiers.
"I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement after a telephone conversation with her Pakistani counterpart, Hina Rabbani Khar.
Opposition leaders have criticised the government's move.
"Parliament's recommendations demanding an unconditional apology over the Salala raid, a halt to U.S. drone attacks, 5,000 dollars transit fee per NATO container and assurance for respect of ground and airspace of Pakistan have been bypassed," said Imran Khan, former cricketing hero and chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI).

A Feature on Apartment Therapy!
February 29, 2012
Well my peeps, I've been blogging a bit shy of one year and I just got the best anniversary present – Julia's reading corner was featured on Apartment Therapy! (I don't think it even qualifies as a blog anymore, its become such an entity of awesome.)
Can there be such a thing as a mega-squee? If there is, than I was doing it.
In case anyone in the known universe is unfamiliar with the mother-ship mega-site that is Apartment Therapy, it's a design based website that features everything related to home decor, family life and cooking, among other topics.
AT is the first thing I read every morning of my life, so to be featured there was really a hefty dose of thrill. It was so exciting and odd to see Julia's little reading corner right there on this site that I have read for years!
Also, I noticed that I overuse exclamation points. But if overusing exclamation points is wrong than I don't want to be right. !!!!!!!
This proves my theory: READING IS COOL. (It really is, you know.)
You can see the whole feature on Apartment Therapy here.

I saw your pin last night and I swear to you I experienced heart palpitations. APARTMENT THERAPY!!!! I don't think "Congratultions!" does this experience justice... but I'll say it anyway: Congratulations! :) Did you know you were going to be featured or were you shocked when you saw your feature?
ReplyDeleteTee hee thanks Whitney! I can cross one off the bucket list -- being on AT is something I never thought I would be able to say happened to me! I applied for a job there a couple years ago but it was before I had my blog or knew anything about anything about blogging and I didn't get in. That's what made me start my blog! Because I had to spout my yapper somewhere....:)

For the first time (I believe...?) I'm joining in on this "weekly blog theme" thing that Lost_In_Translation is arranging, and this week it's about our favorite video game weapons. A lot of games I play contain a lot of weapons, and there are tons of them that I really like to use. However, mentioning all of them would be too much, so I'll just go with three. Mostly write about two, but mention three, nonetheless.
The very obvious weapon (which I'm getting over with early here) is the Master Sword. Being the Zelda fan that I am, how could I not mention this? But I'll just do that, mention it, since it should be one of, if not THE most common choice in this community. Plus, I talk about Zelda all the time on my YouTube channel anyway, so it's nice to share other gaming experiences here with you.
To find the second weapon, we'll have to go to Azeroth in the World of Warcraft. I've had my WoW account for about 8 years now, so I've seen a gigantic pile of weapons in this immense world. There are a lot of great and awesome looking weapons, but I've never equipped that many, seeing as I've pretty much only played as a Warlock, a class that can't equip much else than one-handed swords, daggers and staves. We all know that the two-handed weapons are the coolest, and I'm going to go with a weapon from the classic period. My favorite raid, which I have been unfortunate to never have tried in its original state, is Naxxramas. Yes, the very same raid that has entered Hearthstone. In there, you'll find my favorite boss of all time - The Four Horsemen. One of these Horsemen was Alexandros Mograine, and he carried one of the most badass looking swords I've ever seen. This is the Corrupted Ashbringer, and while I never equipped it myself in the game, and the fact that it has pretty much no use in the game nowadays, it's still a freaking sweet looking sword. The handle is cool looking, the blade is gigantic and looks menacing, but the skull really completes it! It used to be called just the Ashbringer, and it looked "cleaner", until it became corrupted and got that skull and green writing on it.
One little honorable mention from World of Warcraft - The Hungering Cold, also from Naxxramas. Mostly because it was that look South Park used in their own episode for the Sword of a Thousand Truths.
So, obviously, my favorite kind of weapon is the sword. I've always found it to be the coolest and one of the most useful melee weapons. While I do like ranged weapons like the bow and arrow more than handguns and other types of newer ranged weapons, I feel I do have to have a little more diversity in this blog. So, I'm going to pick out a little hand gun I bet all of you know about. James Bond's own Golden Gun!
Among every little gadget and weapon that James Bond has possessed, I gotta say that the Golden Gun definitely is my favorite. First introduced to the video game world in GoldenEye for the N64 (if I'm not mistaken), and later used in the remakes for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3, maybe in addition to a few other Bond titles I'm not familiar with, this gun was a blast to use. Not only does it look cool, being a handgun completely made of/covered by gold, but this weapon kills with one shot no matter what! This gun is a one-hit killer, and I find that awesome! I absolutely loved the Golden Gun mode in multiplayer in the remake of GoldenEye for the Wii, where a regular kill counted as 1 point, and a kill with Golden Gun counted as 5. It was fun, exciting and intense to play that mode. This weapon is just pure James Bond, it makes you look good carrying a golden killer like that, and is just a blast to use!
Just as I was about to save this blog post, I realized...isn't it weird that a guy with a nickname like ShotgunHoward would go on and NOT mention any shotguns...? Oh, to hell with it! A fourth choice is all the shotguns in video games! I always use it in FPS games if the map is small enough and has close quarters. I can be unstoppable with a thing like that, and it's always my go to weapon when it comes to certain games.
Thanks for reading!

The early bombardment history of the Inner Solar System is recorded in a number of interesting places (e.g., the surprisingly high abundance of highly siderophile abundances found in the Earth, Moon, and Mars, the observed impact basins found on Mercury, the Moon and Mars, various properties of main belt asteroids and meteorites, etc.). To date, two dominant scenarios have been used to explain these constraints: (i) most impacts came from the tail end of a monotonically-decreasing impactor population created by planet formation processes, and (ii) most impacts were produced by a terminal cataclysm that caused a spike in the impactor flux starting ~4.1 Gy ago. Interestingly, we find that both scenarios are needed to explain observations. For (i), we will show that leftover planetesimals were long-lived enough to hit various worlds long after the end of core formation. The record left behind can be used in interesting ways to probe the nature of terrestrial planet formation. For (ii), we will explore new applications of the so-called Nice model, which provides a plausible dynamical mechanism capable of creating a spike of comets/asteroid impactors.
Dr. Bottke will show that his results suggest that many "late heavy bombardment" impactors came from an unexpected source, and that they possibly continued to hit Earth, Venus, and Mars well after basin formation terminated on the Moon.

Was Ancient History a hoax invented during the Renaissance?Moderators: fschmidt, jamesbond

Was Ancient History a hoax invented during the Renaissance?Have any of you ever heard of Anatoly Fomenko? He's a brilliant Russian mathematician that stirred up controversy in historian academia by claiming that the ancient history of Europe and Russia was a fiction and hoax invented and crafted during the Renaissance of the 1600's. His theory claims that recorded history actually began in 900 AD, and that many of the events in ancient history occurred after 900 AD, including the Roman Empire and the life of Jesus. So he has created a new Chronology of history that differs from the traditional one.
It sounds crazy, but the greatest chess champion in the world, Gary Kasparov, agrees with much of his theory. But of course, just because one is a great chess player or mathematician does not mean one is also a great historian. Fomenko has written volumes of scholarly books about it. You can find them on Amazon.com. Here are some promo videos about Fomenko's theory and books. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C_52bZxie4[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm8nychBkGc[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDtRajr8MYs[/youtube] Description: Has history been tampered with? The documented history of human civilization is supposed to reach several millennia back into the past. And yet if we consider the rate at which civilization is supposed to have progressed, we encounter periods of obscurity and informational vacuum following the alleged decline of every ancient empire, and then everything starts anew. Inventions are presumed lost for centuries, then re-invented by people whose names bear suspicious semblance to those of the ancient inventors. Just how true all of this is? Could history as we know it really be a collation of several chronicles relating to one and the same period of time? Apparently, this is what the Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko claims. He is the author of the first volume in a series of seven that came out in English recently, and generated incredible controversy amongst professional historians worldwide. Many are trying to put the author into one league with numerous paranoid conspiracy theorists and mad inventors - however, all of his work conforms to the highest academic standards and is backed by solid scientific facts; furthermore, some of the most lucid minds of our time support many of the theories put forward by the authors. Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion, says the following in his preface to volume 1: "Let us consider the factor of a mass character that I shall be referring to as psychophysical. Documented history tells us of the insatiable need of human beings to make discoveries. The vector of technological progress is a strictly vertical one. Every ten years something happens: discoveries, sea voyages, explosions... Everything keeps on changing, we see constant evolution - from Columbus to the landing on the Moon, from crossbows to nuclear bombs. Forwards and upwards. However, the traditional ancient history tells us of periods when humanity apparently remained dormant for centuries - "ancient" Egypt, the mediaeval "Dark Ages" - whole epochs of utter stasis in human thinking. It appears that the inhabitants of ancient Egypt and Rome had a different genetic code, and couldn't be bothered about anything at all, so they froze in their development, the result being a total lack of innovative activity. At the same time, there had been prosperous ancient empires where those among homo sapiens who possessed penchants for arts and sciences could get plenty of opportunities for growth and development. But, alas and alack, all of the prosperous "ancient" empires had ceased their development at some point." -------------------------------------------- Has history been tampered with? Did events and eras such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Roman Empire , the Dark Ages, and the Renaissance, actually occur within a very different chronology from what we've been told? Yes, they certainly did! The history of humankind is both drastically shorter and dramatically different than generally presumed. Why is it so? On one hand, it was usual custom to justify the claims to title and land by age and ancestry, and on the other the court historians knew only too well how to please their masters. The so called universal classic world history is a pack of intricate lies for all events prior to the 16th century. It's likely that nobody told you before, but there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artefact that is reliably and independently dated prior to the 11th century. Naturally, after what you've learned in school and university, you will not easily believe that the classical history of ancient Rome, Greece, Asia, Egypt, China, Japan, India, etc., is manifestly false. You will point accusing finger to the pyramids in Egypt, to the Coliseum in Rome and Great Wall of China etc., and claim, aren't they really ancient, thousands of years ancient? Well, there is no valid scientific proof that they are older than 1000 years! The oldest original written document that can be reliably dated belongs to the 11th century! New research asserts that Homo sapiens invented writing (including hieroglyphics) only 1000 years ago. Once invented, writing skills were immediately and irreversibly put to the use of ruling powers and science. The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the 16th century by Jesuits. Early in life, we learn by heart the names and deeds of brave warriors, wise philosophers, fabulous pharaohs, cunning high priests and greedy scribes. We learn of gigantic pyramids and sinister castles, kings and queens, dukes and barons, powerful heroes and beautiful ladies, emaciated saints and low-life traitors. Dr debunks not merely the odd pillar, but the total, entire bastion of historical dating, proposing a 700 to 1000 year fictitious "add-on" section between 400 AD and 1100 AD (or larger) & argues that the conventional chronology sequence of almost EVERYTHING is erroneous. Even if partially true this would be scary stuff. Forget forbidden archeology which is for kindergarten.... Last edited by Winston on Fri Mar 07, 2014 12:16 am, edited 4 times in total.

Btw, the founder of this theory is supposed to be a mathematics genius from Moscow State University. He has written telephone sized books about it which you can get from Amazon.com. The readers on Amazon said that he does make a compelling case, though they are not sure that everything he says is correct. The thing is, he claims to base his claims on real serious scientific analysis, which historians do not usually do.
Here is his first volume of work: History: Fiction or Science? http://www.amazon.com/History-mathemati ... =8-1-spell Now, as to what I think. I don't know. I don't judge or come to quick conclusions about everything. Truth is not handed to you on a silver platter. It's something you gotta DIG for, and even then, you will only get fragments of it. The problem is that many assume that truth is handed to you on a silver platter, and that truth is simply whatever the official version told to us is. That's simply not true. We all know that history is the propaganda of the victorious. It's very easy for the powers to manipulate history to fit their agenda of things. I'm sure you all know that. Therefore, it's smart to question things, even cherished beliefs. When you do, you often find that the official version of things is often not the truth. That is the disturbing but liberating realization that you come to eventually. There's a reason why society is set up so that you don't have much free time. In your youth, school keeps you busy. In your adult life, work keeps you busy. In your spare time, the mainstream media holds your attention with the official version of things. The reason for all this is that if you have too much free time to think about everything, eventually you realize that you are a slave on a prison planet and that most of what you are told are hogwash, lies and gross distortions. That's the scary part, that when you have too much free time, you discover a lot of disturbing things, not just in terms of conspiracies, but about the state of existence itself. We are kept from all that by society that keeps us busy and distracted. That's what I've learned and what I've discovered anyway. Sorry if that sounds wacky. I'm just being honest about it. Bottom line: The stuff I posted here is just something to consider and contemplate. If you don't agree with it, then fine. But dismiss it for good logical reasons, not simply because it contradicts the official version of things. One more thing: Skeptics seem to have a double standard when it comes to evidence. When evidence supports the official version of things, it is accepted and counted. But when it doesn't, then it is dismissed and labeled as "nonexistent or invalid", to justify their "no evidence exists to support any alternative hypothesis other than the official one" claim of skeptics. But of course, we all have biases and tend to be selective in what evidence we will accept in accord with how well it fits into our beliefs and views (aka confirmation bias). That's human nature. It's just that skeptics tend to be more rigid about it than the average person is. Last edited by Winston on Tue Dec 14, 2010 8:49 am, edited 1 time in total.

I've never trusted skeptics, for the very reason that they are willing to accept the official version of things without a shred of proof but require unrealistic amounts of evidence to accept any other possibility.
I find it interesting that one of the reviews says forget "Forbidden Archaeology", which is interesting because that book goes in the very opposite direction make history much much longer than previously imagined and showing possibly great advancements in millennia old societies. I am always curious about history, and it is not hard for me to imagine that it could all fall apart with a single discovery. "b***y is so strong that there are dudes willing to blow themselves up for the highly unlikely possibility of b***y in another dimension." -- Joe Rogan
Skeptics have a double standard.
Any idea that is counter-cultural and disproves 'the official version of things' is readily accepted with numerous flaws, mis-statements, omissions and logical fallacies.. But when it doesn't disprove 'the official version of things' it is ridiculed immediately. The numerous CT posts that are now showing up on every sub-forum here are ample example. Winston's flaw is that because he is a behavioral out-lier in his peer group and family, he projects this mindset on to every single aspect of his reality and identifies with anything that is outside the norm. Even if it's absurd nonsense. If it rebels against the status quo, then it must be true.
Gee um, if humans only invented writing 1,000 years ago, that's a lot of "fake" historical coins we'd have to produce and bury into ancient graves and shipwrecks around the world.
I can just imagine this photo caption: "Chinese cops stashing fake Tang dynasty coins in elaborate conspiracy to prove that Chinese writing dates back over 1,000 years".
Another problem is that the history we get is simplified and inaccurate. For example, I have a link below which clearly demonstrates that George Washington was not the first president of the United States.
Here is a Wikipedia entry about Anatoly Fomenko's New Chronology of History. It describes his theories, methodology and arguments. His critics' counterarguments are summarized as well.

Here is one way to look at it. According to the out of Africa theory, man first left Africa 50,000 years ago. If you take, as a rule of thumb, 25 years per generation, that gives you 2000 generations. In only 2000 generations we went from the Stone Age to where we are now. To me, it seems amazing that so much was accomplished in such a short period of time. If anything, it's a mystery why it didn't take longer.
Ancient history revised? Meh. How about recent history? I'd be interested in his opinion about a particular Tuesday in 2001. не поглеждай назад.

Re: Was Ancient History a hoax invented during the RenaissanWinston? I would like bring up the instituted racism history curriculum in the USA. It makes undermine the achievements of other minorities historical achievements, but makes the white anglo saxon male look like God's angel. Also, white supremacists have cherry picked history. Whites did not begin accepting Mediterraneans until they found out about the Romans and Ancient Greeks. They also cloak the true African history of ancient egypt.
This is true. Basically, everything you've been told your entire life is a lie. Education controls the flow of information so you never learn too much. However, the internet changed this which is why one day it will be censored.

Re: Was Ancient History a hoax invented during the RenaissanWikipedia says Anatoly Fomenko's work is wrong though, because he doesn't explain why we have coins and artifacts from Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. But of course, Wikipedia is controlled by the establishment as is highly biased on controversial topics. Here is Wikipedia's lengthy debunking of Anatoly Fomenko's historical revisionism.

Re: Was Ancient History a hoax invented during the RenaissanThey are the same people....The guys in Rome, Egypt, Babylonia, Sumer are still here with us ..they are now living in America.
Its the same blueprint of lies and deception...They are snake people...extremely intelligent..and live like for ever...They don't die... Death has been made a big deal for humans. Its not really difficult not to die, you can easily live for ever...You just make sure, your amino acid chain in DNA do not break down as you get old and have constant supply of good proteins to your DNA. Gold, Silver, Copper can do that you...plus other chemicals which are unknown to man due to secrecy. All history is manipulated because we die... Also, now they have technology of consciousness transfer, you get a new body with same mind and live for ever... All our thinking is twisted and it starts with death. All the skeptic, debunkers will vanish if you never die. They are heavily invested in making sure that we die one day. It is the greatest scam on earth. If you think death is natural..You are mind controlled. God never intended for his creation to die...That would be diabolically satanic...why would god ever put a set time on his creation....?? You can live for ever like how elites do...The blue bloods...History is manipulated for THIS REASON ALONE...DEATH

"Bassin at the Pits"By HSP Member, Dave"I learned a lesson about bass fishing last week!" Now that is saying a mouthful. At my age, (which is a taboo subject) and as long as I have been catching and releasing bass, to admit that someone younger than I, could show me a few things is really astonishing. Every bass fisherman who considers himself a bass-man has his ego, his favorite pole, his "stash" of lures, his own presentation of his lures to the "hawg." For an "outsider" to infringe on my turf is tough. Especially when he proves his stuff. Glenn "Scottie" Porter is a co-worker with my son Brent. Both are Air-Traffic-Controllers at the Indianapolis Center. Brent, a long term HSP member makes several trips a year to hunt and fish with "Dear 'ol Dad." The Strip Pits are his favorite whether the game is flying or swimming. Brent brought Scottie as a guest after him hearing numerous stories and seeing pictures from our newsletter about our "famous" Strip Pits. Stories of bass fishing become almost an argumentative state when you place two or more fishermen in a confined space. Each trying to out do the other on the drive to the pits. Well, we made it to the pits. The weather was horrendous upon our arrival. A passing cold front, rain, high winds, and yet temperatures still reached the upper 90's as the clouds broke up! For the first three hours each of us trying our "best of the best," never fail favorite lures. Then Scottie started to catch 'em. Just one here and there, but before long he had caught four or five to our one. Brent and I finally had to admit his favorite lure (which will remain a secret) was the lure of the day, and by doing so, we were rewarded by receiving one of many extras he brought along. Immediately, Brent and I were in on the action. That was how the pits always were! Two on at the same time (see pic), and the action continued. Brent caught a dandy that had to go five, perhaps six pounds. Then Scottie hung into "THE HAWG!" It was huge! Half of its body came out of the water to take his lure. It was hooked good, we thought. I kept the boat in deep water; Brent cleared everything out of Scotties' way. Scottie's dream was to catch a ten pounder and here was his chance. Believing his fish was well hooked, Scottie took his time. He let him make his runs; he made sure his drag was set for those quick fast jerk-runs. Scottie was playing him like a violin. We had no landing net so it was going to be a hand-jaw landing. When the time seemed right, Scottie reached out to grab its jaw and it was gone! Silence, pure silence, for several seconds, then the questions: Did the line break? No! Did you bump him off? No! Did you get to touch it? NO! What a dream maker. The gift of having this experience was worth the trip, Scottie said. Even if we had not caught a bass all day and Scottie would have hung into this monster, and had the excitement, even if it was only a couple of minutes, and as fate ruled, it was not to be landed, Scottie as well as Brent and me will have a memory that will live on until another (if ever) equal size bass takes Scottie for a ride. All bass were released, but Scottie says he'll hang on to that memory, THAT he is taking home! |

Latvia Clears Path to Apply for 2014 Euro Adoption
Aaron EglitisLatvia passed legislation allowing it to apply for euro-area membership starting in 2014, boosting eastern European support for the embattled currency region.
The Baltic nation's Parliament, based in the capital, Riga, voted 52-40 today to pass the euro-adoption law in its second and final reading, according to its website.
The move provides further backing to the euro region as it grapples with its second recession since 2009 after Poland and Lithuania said they'd also seek to join. Latvia, which exited a 7.5 billion-euro ($10.2 billion) bailout last year, is vying to follow Estonia by becoming the 18th euro-area member and meets all the criteria it needs to do so, Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis told lawmakers today before the vote.
"The passing of the bill is a further positive for Latvian credit, as the country is now one step closer to euro accession in 2014," Mohammed Kazmi, a London-based analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, said by e-mail. "We expect the government to now push for an extraordinary convergence report from the European Commission so that the process for joining the euro zone can formally begin."
Bonds, Swaps
The yield on Latvia's $1.25 billion bond due 2020 rose about 1 basis point after the vote to 3.02 percent as of 12:26 p.m. in Riga. The cost to insure its debt against non-payment for five years using credit-default swaps fell 5 basis points today to 104 basis points, about 3 basis points more than neighboring Lithuania, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Estonia was last nation to join the euro region in 2011. While Latvia would be next, if the government's application is accepted, Lithuanian Premier Algridas Butkevicius announced Jan. 25 that his government would pursue entry in 2015, while Poland will seek to follow suit at a later date, Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski said Jan. 24.
"Euro adoption is the logical next step in implementing our macroeconomic policy framework," Dombrovskis said today. "We're already importing euro-zone monetary policy, while not being in the euro zone and not sitting at the decision-making table, and we pay for converting the lats to euros and back."
'A Formality'
More than 80 percent of household and business loans are denominated in euros, while more than 40 percent of deposits are held in the currency, according to the prime minister. The Cabinet will submit its euro-adoption bid in February or March, he said last week in an interview in Davos, Switzerland.
Latvia is very close to meeting requirements for adopting the euro in 2014, Violeta Klyviene, a senior analyst at Danske Bank A/S, said Dec. 17 The nation's inflation, debt and budget deficit already meet membership criteria, leaving only requirements on long-term interest rates that are "more a formality than a real obstacle," Klyviene said from Vilnius, Lithuania.
Support for adopting the euro was 31 percent in December, up from 26 percent in October, according to pollster TNS. The survey of 1,024 people gave no margin of error.
About 50 people gathered outside Parliament before today's vote to demonstrate against the proposed currency switch. One of the protesters, Guntra Viksna, called the national currency, the lats, a sign of independence, saying Latvia "isn't ready for the euro."
"For 50 years we were in the Soviet Union, we each dreamed about when the lats would return," she said. "We refuse the euro without a referendum, without listening to the people."

Franzie, you and Kronner are now sister wives.I don't understand this post. Where's the junior college grammar and over-used cliches?
In related news: agreed about Gator. When they showed the replay of the quasi-fight, I told my lovely bride that if that first haymaker connected, Scott Nichol's season would have been over. Luckily for Nichol, it didn't, and it ended up being a rather uneventful fight, but it was nice to see that Abdelkader didn't want to let anyone take liberties with the team. The Sharks aren't a dirty team at all, and I'm positive they were just frustrated, so I doubt there's any carry-over, but it was great to see someone say "fuck this noise" for a change.
Also, Scott Nichol's a pain in the ass, eh? I was only vaguely familiar with him from his Nashville days, but he's an agitator like whoa. Hell of a guy to have on your team, assuming he doesn't go all Avery on 'em.

How many bathroom trips per night?
Ever since we got George as a puppy over a year and a half ago, we've always brought him/let him outside to do "his job" when he asked to. We were under the assumption he needed to go so we never wanted to deny him. Now that he is nearing 2 years old, he continues to ask/whine/bark to go outside many times per evening. By the time we get home at 5pm and go to bed around 10:30pm he usually will have asked to go out 8+ times.
We always watch him if we let him out alone to make sure he's really going and coming back in, or we'll take him out on the leash. He will always pee some amount and can take up to 2 poops per night depending on his amount of activity. I've spoken to other dog owners who tell me they let their dog out 3 to 4 times max per night and it's when the owner tells them to go outside, not the other way around. As George will continue to whine loudly, park, and harass us until we give in and take him outside, are we just playing his game of controlling us? As he goes the entire night while we are sleeping without going out and can go the workday without going out, going 8+ times in a ~5 span seems excessive and unnecessary to us. If he needs to go then we are happy to let him but most of the times they are very very quick pees and don't seem necessary. Just curious about the bathroom behaviors of other boxers on here. Is it just that he's still somewhat a puppy and this will change? Is this uncommon? Should we do something to try to prevent/stop this? Saying no or denying him, as I mentioned, does not go well in the end. Not to mention we don't want to associate asking to go outside for the bathroom to be a bad or negative thing. |

They train us pretty easily. I wouldn't think he needs to go out that much. If he can hold it all night etc he is just bored and wanting to go ouside. Mine do it often during the day when I m home. Once we taught him to use the bell on the door now they do it for fun.

Sounds to me like a boredom behaviour, he probably doesn't have to actually go to the bathroom nearly as often as he asks to go outside. Does he get a walk in the afternoon/evening when you get home from work?

We always say he's just bored, but regardless his loud whining and barking is hard to ignore. We walk him almost every night unless it's raining or overly cold out. He also plays for several hours inside the house every night as well. Most nights he won't shut his eyes from the moment we get home until around 9-10pm.

My boy Reuben (10 mo.) does the same thing. I'm talking immediately after he comes in and you sit down, he goes to the door and rings the bell. Sometimes we'll take him out and he doesn't do a darn thing. Last night was especially annoying. He gets plenty of run time and played with lots, but I think he is very high energy & just does it to see if it will work. We take him out right before bedtime, he sleeps all night, he does fine in his crate when we work, so there is no physical problem. He is just a big adolescent hunk of smart trying to see what works. I also wonder if not being neutered yet is a factor.

He sounds like he needs more stimulation. The alks just arent cutting it. Do you take him to parks where he can fetch a ball and run off leash?

Cynical, jaded, suspicious of authority and fed up with the rat race: the middle-aged are the most miserable people in Britain. Frustrated idealism, overwork and tight finances are blamed for demoralising the radical youth of the late Sixties and Seventies and disillusioning the Thatcher generation.
A survey of Britain's social attitudes among 1,190 people for the Mori Social Research Institute shows that portraying the fictional pensioner Victor Meldrew as the country's biggest complainer is wide of the mark.
The study finds those aged 35-44 or 45-54, rather than the elderly or even the young, are the most negative about almost everything. They are the least likely to think education, health or transport will improve, the least satisfied by their jobs, the most resentful of long hours and the least impressed by material success.
They are deeply distrustful of authority, least likely to agree the "people in charge" know best, and have little faith in Tony Blair or Iain Duncan Smith. Perhaps worryingly for Mr Blair, given that the two age groups make up the majority of the workforce, they are the most likely to believe strikes are a sign of a healthy society.
Their discontent appears to stem from disappointment at how their lives have turned out and a belief that their elders and juniors are having a better time, the survey's authors say. They believe the unhappiness of the 45-54 group, or "Vietnam generation" of the late Sixties and early Seventies, might be explained by the high expectations of their radical youth being dashed by the realities of middle age. Disappointed in their careers, and harassed by commuting and children, they worry about the shrinking value of their pensions.
The Thatcher generation aged 35-44, having bought into the work ethos of the Eighties, is now dissatisfied. But the over-55s have generous pensions, and their children have left home, leaving them with high disposable incomes.

"Deep in Tarka the Otter country where the river glides beneath the trees and time stands still..."
Orford Mill lies alongside the River Torridge in a beautiful wooded valley, nestled below the historic town of Torrington. With its air of peace and tranquillity, abundant wildflowers and river life, it became the setting for Henry Williamson's magical story of Tarka the Otter. Indeed, the mill wheel in which Tarka hid from the hound Deadlock was at Orford Mill. This superb location makes a wonderful holiday base, especially for families, with sandy beaches on the North Devon coast only 10 miles away.
The complex consists of a Grade II listed water mill and manor house, now converted into nine delightful cottages, all equipped to Visit Britain '4 Star' standard. Most overlook the charming ornamental courtyard with its ponds and flowerbeds. Riverside is detached and overlooks the river. All cottages retain character features such as exposed beams and stonework, and each is furnished in an individual style to a very high standard. Guests can enjoy an indoor heated swimming pool, with lovely river views, as well as a spa room and all-weather tennis court, games room and fenced outdoor children's play area. There is an on-site cafe with wi-fi (open 9am-9pm). In addition, fishing rights are available on 200 yards of river (bring own licence, or avail locally at cost). All the waterways are safely fenced.
The countryside around Orford Mill is dotted with sleepy villages nestled among the hills, while extensive woodlands, traversed by many footpaths, offer the chance to experience the area's natural beauty at close quarters. Adjacent to the grounds are the renowned RHS gardens at Rosemoor, and other local attractions include Dartington Crystal, offering a factory tour and visitor centre. Great Torrington is only a mile away with good shopping and amenities, and there is golf at nearby Hartland. Orford Mill adjoins Torrington Common which extends to 365 acres, incorporating 20 miles of footpaths. The common is a haven for wildlife. The 'Big Sheep' and 'Milky Way' theme parks are each less than 10 miles away.
The River Torridge runs downstream to the ancient port of Bideford, still with a working quay offering boat trips out to Lundy Island. Just around the corner is the attractive little town of Appledore with its colourful houses and narrow streets. To either side lies Devon's most spectacular stretch of coastal scenery – a chain of magnificent cliffs and rocky promontories, interspersed here and there by long flat sandy beaches, where the Atlantic breakers roll in to create ideal surfing conditions. There are splendid beaches at Instow and Westward Ho!, the latter bordered by the Royal North Devon Golf Club, and the Northam Nature Reserve. Further west is the supremely picturesque Clovelly, whose narrow, cobbled main street descends at a dizzying gradient to the little harbour below. To the south, the cathedral city of Exeter can be reached via a delightful drive through lush river valleys.
Orford Mill offers very attractive accommodation set in 3 acres of beautiful gardens with streams, waterfalls and the water wheel which is still operational. Excellent as a touring base, it makes a good choice for a holiday whatever the weather. Shop ½ mile.
This three-storey property is a converted former mill enjoying river and countryside views, with the original mill wheel still in place. Open-plan living/dining room with electric woodburner and 42in plasma TV. Well-equipped, modern fitted kitchen. First floor: Double bedroom with TV and en-suite shower room with toilet. Two twin bedrooms. Family bathroom. Second floor: Double bedroom with TV and en-suite shower room with toilet. Two twin bedrooms. Family bathroom. Separate toilet. Low ceilings on second floor.

Right now, I like the Trenchers better. Since I scalloped the foams, they compress & conform better. I just got another Pro Line order in with some Interco TSL SX Super Swamper 2.2" G8 Rock Terrain Truck Tires, and memory foam. I'll post pics later, as I'm going to mount them on some bead-loc's.
Thanks! I enjoy it a lot. It was a fun build.
I'll try anything once, maybe twice!

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Just to put this in perspective, this would mean that our mighty, gargantuan federal leviathan would have to exist on a paltry $1.2 trillion. In other words, it would have to exist on the expenditures of the last year of the Reagan administration, in 1989. Chew on that for a moment. Think about that. Then come back to me and tell me exactly how, practically speaking, this can possibly financially or numerically or mathematically work itself out. Check out today's transcript for the rest…
What Did You Think Decreasing The Size And Scope Of Government Would Look Like?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Again, I fail to see why anyone that participates in, advocates for, and has been dreaming about shrinking the federal leviathan, why you are not taking the chance or the opportunity to hit the ramparts, to dig yourself in, and to encourage those that have a vote or say-so in this to hold the line. Folks, this is the battle we've all been waiting for, isn't it? What did you think it would look like? Check out today's transcript for the rest…
Obamacare – An Austrian Economics Lesson
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – In Human Action, you learn one of the principles of the Austrian economists is you can't predict what people are going to do. A scheme like the Affordable Care Act is what you should call a planned market. It is a centrally-planned market. Centrally-planned markets don't work. They do not deliver what it is they are created to deliver. They don't deliver it because they can't. It is impossible to predict human action, thus the title.

States Need To Give Federal Government All Their Powers Or None At All
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – With the revelation of Franklin Pierce's veto of the indigent insane bill, my perspective on fighting the federal leviathan has taken on an entirely new tint now. I always knew there was no general welfare power granted to the Congress. I wasn't aware that a first generation descendent of the founder had actually had to deal with it and so forcefully and so mightily and so irrevocably demolished that idea that it wouldn't gain a majority in the Congress for another 80 years. That's how powerful Pierce's smackdown of Congress was. Check out today's transcript for the rest…

Caller Aaron Discusses Waste, Fraud And Abuse In The Military
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I'm currently a member of the military and have been for a while. I just deployed and got back from Afghanistan. I have firsthand experience of what you're saying. This is a complete boondoggle. There were maintenance contractors and intelligence contractors and so forth earning well into the six figures in their income and they really didn't do anything all day long. In fact, we sat over there not doing anything all day long. There are some people over there that have it rough, but for the most part it's like a college campus or spa over there with minimal risk.

Will Congress Raise The Debt Ceiling? Of Course They Will!
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Speaker of the House John Boehner and company plan to begin dealing with this this week. There are a couple plans out there. I love how the National Journal story frames this today. [mocking] "They're going to begin their deliberation with the far right-wing plan of Paul Ryan." The far right-wing plan of Paul Ryan, you mean the one that adds trillions of dollars of new debt on top of the mountain which is 15 Everests high that already exist? That's the far-right plan? I shudder to see the far-left plan. Check out today's transcript for the rest…
