Five-Term Incumbent Loses School Board Race
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Aired 11/3/10
Scott Barnett beat five-term incumbent John de Beck for the San Diego Unified School District C school board seat. Barnett is a former executive director of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association.
SAN DIEGO Scott Barnett edged five-term incumbent John de Beck for the San Diego Unified School District C school board seat. Barnett is a former executive director of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association.
In the other contested school-board seat, math teacher Kevin Beiser defeated businessman Stephen Rosen.
John deBeck, known for his gruff, no-nonsense personality, had served 20 years. He drew 49 percent of the vote compared with Barnett's 50 percent.
"The status quo isn't going to work anymore," Barnett said. "I respect the fact that Mr. deBeck has given 20 years of his life to this board. We should thank him. But (voters) decided it was time for a change."
John deBeck was criticized for wasting board time by proposing reform ideas that get little traction. For example, he proposed an across-the-board salary cut to save the district money. He said at least he's coming up with some solutions.
John deBeck was no longer backed by the teachers union because he has supported layoffs in the past.
Scott Barnett has been involved with local politics for several years.
Barnett said his goal would be to overhaul the way the district analyzes and spends taxpayer money.
The San Diego teachers union recently pulled their support from Barnett because he didn't back a parcel tax on the November ballot. That tax could bring extra taxpayer dollars into the school district.
Kevin Beiser won the race for the District B seat on the San Diego board with 57 percent of the vote over Steve Rosen. Votes for incumbent Katherine Nakamura, a write-in candidate, have yet to be counted, but clearly were very few.
"Instead of looking to divide people," Beiser said, "we have to look to bring people together, collaborate -- especially on the budget committee."

Mental-health first aid
would make us safer
The Mental Health First Act, H.R. 274, a bill in the House of Representatives, is essential to keep our communities safe. The bill would provide $20 million for three years to teach mental-health first aid. The program would teach police officers, first responders, teachers, faith leaders, students, parents and veterans how to recognize a person having a mental-health crisis.
Imagine how significant such training could have been in preventing recent horrific tragedies.
Mental-health first -aid seeks to change the stigma of mental illness as a character disorder and reclassify it as a medical problem. For hundreds of years, the mentally ill have been shunned by society and secluded in institutions. But mental illness is a real medical problem and is treatable, like any other disease.
Mental-health first aid training brings understanding to those suffering from mental-health crises and provides resources to secure proper medical attention. Just think of the difference it could make when a person is intercepted before problems escalate to tragic events such at the fatal attack on tourists visiting Atlantic City in May 2012.
Antoinette Pelzer, of Philadelphia, a known schizophrenic, was suffering from a mental-health crisis when she fatally stabbed two Canadian tourists. Had someone been trained in mental-health first aid to recognize her symptoms and intervene to get her medical help, the whole situation could have been avoided. Instead, Pelzer fell through the cracks, with her actions resulting in two deaths.

CIA whistle-blower
deserves a pardon
Though he did not participate in torture, ex-CIA agent John Kiriakou was the first person to publicly acknowledge the Bush administration's inhumane abuse of detainees.
Kiriakou's disclosures informed the public and encouraged debate that helped pull this country back from a very dark place. But he drew the ire of the government, which began to harass and intimidate him and his family under both the Bush and Obama administrations, looking for ways to prosecute him.
Finally, when Kiriakou privately shared a colleague's name to a journalist for use as a source, the government seized the opportunity and threw the book at him. Kiriakou is now serving 30 months in prison. By comparison, Scooter Libby didn't spend a single day in prison for his role in publicly outing CIA agent Valerie Plame in an act of political revenge for her husband's statements against the war in Iraq.
President Barack Obama opposed and ended the U.S. torture program. So why is the only person being punished in connection with that program the man who helped expose it? The president should do the right thing and pardon Kiriakou.
Tsarnaev should face
military court for treason
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, and three of his Republican colleagues got it right - Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is not just a criminal and should have been held by the military without access to a lawyer or the fundamental rights of a citizen. And he is not just an enemy combatant. That affords him too much dignity. He should be tried in the military justice system. This is more than Tsarnaev deserves.
The U.S. Constitution deals with treason in Article III, Section 3: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in leveling war against them ..." The "them" is us. Tsarnaev negated all his rights as a recent American citizen when he committed a sickening act of violence against innocent people.
He does not deserve all the protections rooted in our Bill of Rights. When you commit treason, you are no longer a citizen. I believe it was wrong to have given him Miranda rights, but he should be granted Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.
What Boston teaches us is that the horrors we have viewed on TV from afar are now here. We must accept that there will be more radical Islamists among us who will repeat this horror. But if they terrorize our innocent women and children (of course I include Muslim women and children, for this is not about Muslims, but radical Islam), we will try them for treason. War is terror. But no political cause justifies killing innocents.
Atlantic City
Roll out the hospitality
for Miss America guests
Regarding the April 26 story, "A.C. could see $32M from Miss America":
We are welcoming back our returning daughter, the Miss American Pageant, thanks to Trenton. The pageant should have a positive financial impact for the city. This was always its purpose.
I do have some concerns. The hospitality industry has to be especially fine-tuned that week. Visitors will surely judge us, and will write about their experiences on the Internet. They will be critical, as will members of the media, some of whom, like Gretchen Carlson of Fox News, are former pageant contestants.
The hospitality industry must push itself the extra mile. Atlantic City does not need another 1964 Democratic National Convention disaster. We have progressed since then, and we must continue to serve visitors professionally .
On Sept. 20,1973, I was serving lunch to football greats Earl Morrall, Fran Tarkenton and Y.A. Tittle. They asked me if I had any influence at a major hotel. Their request was simple: They had not had towels for two days. I called a local general manager and he called the owners. The problem was solved.
The point is that Atlantic City is our town. Our paychecks and our pride are on the line as we represent the people of the city and New Jersey. The more we extend ourselves, the more those efforts contribute to the general hospitality travelers experience.
If Atlantic City receives poor press, the slogan "Do AC" will turn to "AC done." We cannot afford this. No institute can teach harmony and a positive attitude toward the public. It is learned. It is experience.
Egg Harbor Township
Legislature must limit
gun-magazine capacity
I was stunned when the New Jersey Senate package to reduce gun violence was released Thursday missing the most significant piece. How could that have happened?
Ignoring the 10-round limit on ammunition magazines, allowing bullet shells to litter the ground like peanut shells at the circus, is a mistake.
It reminds me of the summer of my 14th year, when almost everyone in my Illinois town was psyched for the new town swimming pool that was being unveiled. Shortly before the ceremony, the tarp was pulled back to reveal that the drain was missing. The architect or the contractor had made a mistake of dramatic proportions.
The oversight in the Senate's gun measures can be remedied at today's Law and Public Safety Committee hearing. If it is not, this omission will be remembered as catastrophic.
Because if or when another massacre takes place, it will not be peanut shells that law-enforcement officers will be picking up.

My next BIG build
My next BIG build is going to look something like this of course it will need some LED lighting, and a functional drawbridge to make it supper-cool. The top will hold her bed and the inside of the castle will be a learning center with fun games and tons of hiding spots for toys. The stairs will double as a dresser and in time the learning center will have space for a second bed for #2 I am thinking at my current productivity rate in my shop this build will take around 10 months and at least another one to do all the paint. Any thoughts or Suggestions ???

Great idea, the drawbridge with a little winch does get you some extra cool points. Are you going to make it collapsible so it can built in your garage and broken down etc?

Wasn't this attached?
Very cool. My daughter is still in a crib so I have a little while for this but im thinking building something like this myself. Cheaper than a decent bedroom set and way cooler. I dont know how I feel about the bed up top though. Sick kids or whatever may pose a challenge but I dont know as its my first kid. I was sort of thinking about a multi leveled thing so the bed still is relatively low if we need to get her in or out with a wall on hinges to make it easy to do so.
Sorry, just thinking out loud. I have seen things like this here and there on the internet but anyone know of a website or something that has more of this stuff for ideas? |

The Kenyalang Park night market, it only opens during the weeks before the Chinese Lunar New Year. Always held some fascination for me so I wanted to try to get some pictures of it. Took a while to get these developed but I'm glad most of the pictures turned out okay as most of the place was very cramped and I had to guess the right settings on the camera since its lightmeter was broken. It was fun though :)

'No More Solyndras' Act Approved By House; Would Terminate DOE Program
14 September 2012 (Solar Industry)
"The U.S. House of Representatives has approved H.R. 6213, known as the "No More Solyndras Act," by a vote of 245-161…The [anti-renewables] legislation - introduced by Reps. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., in July - would phase out the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) loan guarantee program by prohibiting the issuance of any new loan guarantees and subjecting pending guarantees to new standards.
"The legislation was developed as Upton and Stearns led extensive congressional investigations into bankrupt thin-film module manufacturer Solyndra, which received a loan guarantee under the DOE program…"
"Although Section 1705 - the provision under which Solyndra was backed - has expired, the DOE is still considering applications for loan guarantees under Section 1703, which authorizes the DOE to support clean energy technologies that are unable to obtain conventional private financing.
"Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., whose proposed amendment to make the underlying bill's prohibition against awarding new loan guarantees contingent on the extension of the wind energy production tax credit failed, criticized the final legislation…[The] now advances to the Senate [where it is expected to die from inattention]…"

The only thing I can think of is to have an invoke function set in motion right when the application opens, but that would require your application to actually open and then direct the user to the browser. Then the user would be left with an empty screen for your app.
Another approach would be to simply have a webview within your app as the opening page, which would show your website and therefore the user can use your app like they would the browser.

'Turbo' Teaser Trailer: This Little Guy Has a Long Way to Go
Posted on Thursday, December 20th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
One of the next animated outings from DreamWorks is Turbo, which features Ryan Reynolds as the voice of a snail who is determined to win the Indy 500. Yeah, seems like that might be difficult.
This first teaser for the film turns out to be pretty cute, as we see the lil' snail doing a time trail well away from the Indianapolis track. (Complete with music from the soundtrack to Drive.) Suffice to say, he's got some training to do. Check out the footage below.
Apple has the trailer. Turbo opens on July 19, 2013.
Cool Posts From Around the Web:From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, Turbo is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail who kicks into overdrive when he miraculously attains the power of super-speed. But after making fast friends with a crew of streetwise, tricked-out es-car-goes, Turbo learns that no one succeeds on their own. So he puts his heart and shell on the line to help his pals achieve their dreams, before Turbo-charging his own impossible dream: winning the Indy 500.

Jack Straw w: Hunter m: Weir AGDL: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/jstraw.html LASF: http://www.whitegum.com/songfile/JACKSTRA.HTM
Jack Straw Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Bob Weir Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission. We can share the women, we can share the wine We can share what we got of yours, 'cause we done shared all of mine Keep on rolling, just a mile to go Keep on rolling, my old buddy, you're moving much too slow I just jumped the watchman right outside the fence Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain't that heaven sent Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well be me We used to play for silver now we play for life And one's for sport, and one's for blood at the point of a knife And now the die has shaken, now the die must fall There ain't a winner in the game He don't go home with all, not with all Leaving Texas, fourth day of July Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride There ain't a place a man can hide, Shannon, will keep him from the sun Ain't a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down And dug for him a shallow grave, and laid his body down Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light One man gone and another to go My old buddy you're moving much too slow We can share the women we can share the wine
"I had just read 'Of Mice and Men' for about the tenth time. I was com- pletely smitten by that story. I took a step back in time into the Depres- sion, and that era, and this story emerged between me and Hunter about these two guys on the lam... ne'er-do-wells... victims of the Depression." - Bob Weir 3/2/04

Heh... another dislocation in time... ambiquity between the musical themes, the implied temporal space... and the rails the song rideäF@f course.
But were they the victims or the crime?
Tangent: the ending of Of Mice and Men brought me to tears when I read it at age 11 or 12, a landmark experience for me in terms of the power of literature as art.
Hearing Weir talk about "Of Mice And Men" makes me wonder if he wrote some of the lyrics as well as the music. In the O'Franken interview, he certainly seems to imply that some of the ideas for the story came from him ("I just went there and made up my own sad little story"). In "Box Of Rain," some of the lyrics are in italics (eg "Hurts my ears to listen ..." and "We used to play for silver ..."). The same is true for "Sugar Magnolia" but with a footnote saying lyrics in italics were written by Bob Weir. That may not mean that much, since there are other purely Hunter songs with sections in italics. And the sheet music clearly says words by Hunter and music by Weir. Nonetheless, it set me thinking.
It would be very interesting to hear the whole story about the interactions between Hunter and Weir in the course of the development of this song.
I always assumed the italics in ABOR are there to set off dialogue between the two protagonists.
So did I. But then I always assumed the same thing about the parts sung by Jerry, and the two don't correspond.
Tim writes: Jack Straw the British Foreign Sec has no talent for anything apart from being a snivelling little piece of shit. If he has to do a cameo, could he be The Watchman? Then we can see him get knocked on the head by Shannon. I'm not a violent man, but I make exceptions for some people... I see the characters as younger, like the boys in Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy books (All The Pretty Horses etc), or the young Ben Johnson and Harry Carey Jr. in John Ford movies, or in a different location, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy. Tim
From "bamfinney": Greetings, I was musing on the various levels of meaning in Jack Straw and thought I might share some insights I've had about it. Hopefully it's worth the time! This song seems to pitch two travelers at odds. The character "Jack Straw" is not named in the song and the only other character that is named is referred to as "Shannon." The title, Jack Straw, reminds me of a scarecrow: an empty imitation representing the real substance, or a "straw dog (man)": something set up as a target, which is fictional but based on some reality: as in a theory a disbeliever misrepresents and then attacks those misrepresentations as if they are the true underpinnings of the theory (which they are not: it is a "straw dog" not the real dog which is attacked). This is a very common practice for those who are not well versed in the subject they are attacking, or those who find no issues with the real theory but nonetheless are on the defensive for one reason of another. The "bad" character in Jack Straw is perhaps a "straw dog"; he's the kind of person the Dead are to some degree set against, extra baggage to be drug around ("Bertha don't you come round here anymore": almost too much trouble to be worth it). Perhaps "Shannon" in the first few lines is Jack Straw: the guy who jumps the "watchman" and steals his stuff, killing him in the process; the guy who has to go to Tulsa and commit an act of vengeance because of wounded pride (not too virtuous). Perhaps there is "no honor among thieves," but Shannon has crossed a line ("you keep us on the run") and the other character has serious issues with Shannon's behavior: "Burns my ears to listen, burns my eyes to see; cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well been me!" The one having a moral dilemma with Shannon's actions is the one we are to emulate. The opening lines of the song might point to this: "Cause we done shared all of mine." This sarcasm is biting. Shannon takes ("shares") the other man's woman and wine. He is a moocher. Shannon is someone to put up with, a man of straw, without substance or virtue, but the other character does put up with him, surprisingly. Maybe you can't always choose your friends or companions? Maybe Fate puts us with folks we don't always understand or agree with but who we walk with anyway, as in Uncle John's Band: "no time to hate". In the end, Jack Straw (who I think is Shannon) cuts "his buddy down." This is one less man Jack has to put up with (he's already killed one: the watchman "in cold blood," and certainly intends to deal with another: the one in Tulsa who hurt his pride). His dead buddy is one less person to hinder his un-virtuous lifestyle, one less person to preach to him ("might as well been me," and it in fact was him who also died, buried in a shallow, hurried, disrespectful grave!). In the end, the bad guy wins, but does he? "One man gone (Shannon's buddy) and another to go (Shannon himself); my old buddy you're moving much too slow." Shannon is perpetually on the run. No matter how many "buddies" he has, he'll always be on the run and he'll always subject his buddies to his particular predicament. Reminds me of certain characters in Friend of the Devil and Sugaree: being "on the run" is a large theme worth serious exploration in the Dead's music, but the one on the run is not necessarily to be envied. Another take could be that Jack Straw is the one Shannon kills in the end, not Shannon himself. Perhaps the best morality, in the end, turns out to be straw. The moral position has been seen by some to be the weaker position. Even Jesus said, "Do not resist one who is evil?turn the other cheek," (Matthew 5:39) and "the meek will inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5, see also Psalm 73, "Why do the wicked prosper"). Despite his position against Shannon's "sins," which would be the "right" position, he is cut down anyway. Religious history is full of "saints" who are cut down for their faith. One would think "God" would protect "his" own, but "the good [often] die young." But, perhaps it is better to die young and be good than to narrowly survive, get away with murder, and be on the run? Either way, this song presents to us a paradox of right and wrong, of tricky friendships that are worth keeping despite their trickiness, as well as the logical progression of things starting out bad and ending up worse (Shannon's buddy should have known what the outcome would be if things started out on the wrong foot to begin with). Who's shoes we stand in depends upon the choices we make, but in the end, "like the good book says, you're gonna reap just what ye sow" (Thanks, Pigpen). The lyricist gives us a playful, yet serious, look at Life in all its twists and turns. You can't avoid the paradoxes and you can't always chose sides so easily or even at all. All you can do sometimes is "keep on rolling," your foot always in that next "mile to go."
Interesting, but a key premise is wrong. 'The character "Jack Straw" is not named in the song and the only other character that is named is referred to as "Shannon."' Jack Straw from Wichita Cut his buddy down Dug for him a shallow grave And layed his body down I don't find much room for doubt about who was killed by whom. I was just looking at the GD Comix take on this lyric this morning, funnily enough.
"Cut his buddy down" is ambiguous: did Jack kill him, or did he cut his buddy down after someone else strung him up?
Bryan Miller writes: In my interpretation, Jack is Shannon, the violent one, the one most likely to cut someone down. If Jack is Shannon's buddy, not Shannon himself, Jack takes on Shannon's violence after having reproved him for it in the first verse (jumping the watchman).
Bryan Miller again - I think he is responding to my post <14>: If this is true, it would dramatically and rightly change my take on the song. It would actually end better for the "good guy," if a good guy he is. Shannon would have "paid" for his "sin" by death on a tree, would no longer be "on the run" and Jack would be free. but who is the "another to go" in the final verse of the song? I wonder...
I've always thought of that as Jack Straw talking to himself and his dead buddy Shannon about himself realizing his own days are numbered.
From Bryan Miller: I think I'm answering a lot of my own questions now since Russel's reply (thanks u by the way!). I was thinking that since Bobby talks about two "ne'er do wells," it must be that both Shannon and Jack are somewhat in the same shoes. With Shannon having been buried, the narrator of the story repeats the chorus, "one man gone and another to go..." Jack must be that other man to go. Perhaps jack, the other "ne'er do well" is on the run no and moving too slow. Perhaps he'll be hung next if they catch up with him. I think i see this song a little more clearly now. thanks. What a great way to come to understandings!
Jack Straw

I always took it to mean that Jack Straw had to get to Tulsa to settle an old score. He got there, cut his buddy down, buried him and then had one down and one to go. I'll have to rethink him cutting someone down who was hanging. Not sure if it works for me.
Bryan Miller writes: In response to Lightning: That would seem to be a straight forward reading of the last two verses, but every other time "buddy" is mentioned is seems to be between Jack and/or Shannon. I don't know if "buddy" would then be used to refer to someone he had a score to settle with. But who knows. I figure there's gotta be some irony in the song some where (?).
Jack Straw: "We can share ..." Shannon: "I just jumped the watchman ..." Jack Straw: "Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon ..." Both: "We used to play for silver ..." Jack Straw: "Leaving Texas 4th day of July ..." Narrator: "Jack Straw from Witchita .." Jack Straw: "Half a mile from Tuscon ..."
Bryan Miller writes: the very long entry i made a few days a go needs serious revising (i feel) in light of all the responses. I certainly wont post that! It would be too long... but weir's comments about the great depression, two guys "on the lam," "two ne'er do wells," leads me to believe that both Jack and Shannon show desperation in their actions and words, and desparation leads a man to do what he perhaps would not do in other circumstances. This song is a slice of real nitty gritty pie.
Nothing is too long if we can use it to approach enlightenment. I see Jack and Shannon as a bit worse than ne'er do wells. Murderous sociopaths is probably closer to my perception of them.
i don't buy Jack=Shannon. It doesn't work for me.
also, i wonder if any clue can be taken by considering the lines that were given to Jerry to sing?

If enlarged pores are one of those not-so-ideal skin concerns you've been gifted with, don't fret—there's a fix! Perfect skin oftentimes doesn't come naturally, so if you're concerned about pore size, fear not: you can take control of your skin (and your pores!) with a few products and a diligent yet simple routine. While there's nothing we can technically do to shrink our pores for good, there is a way to make them look smaller (airbrushing and perfect lighting not included!).

Neck and shoulder pain like slept wrong03/31/2004 |
Iam taking moltrin 600 have pain in my neck and shoulders like I slept wrong have had it for about 2 weeks doenst seem to ease up stiff should I sleep with no pillow at all ? I did have wip lash once ago it kinda feels like that.
It sounds like you`re asking for a specific diagnosis and treatment recommendations, which is more than I can provide online. Only a detailed history and physical exam by a healthcare professional can provide enough information to make a specific diagnosis and provide treatment. Please discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider.
In the meantime, I would suggest that you apply heat to the area and try sleeping without a pillow. Also, you may be causing problems by some of your daily activities. I would not maintain a fixed position of your neck for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time without taking a break. This could help minimize strain on already inflamed muscles.

Just wondering...
How is this supposed to help Japan?
Well they are bringing attention to the catastrophe and if there is one horny guy who gives money to the quake victims because he sees boobs, It's worth it in my book.
I much rather hear about these thing than than the "Pearl Harbour" shit from the scum of humanity.
Totally agreed.
Just as ItsDemo said in a witty way, "if titties were offered, then titties should be received."
she`s an EXHIBITIONIST, duh!
a public ultra-pervert whore.
..Well they are bringing attention to the catastrophe and if there is one horny guy who gives money to the quake victims because he sees boobs...
...yeah, but when the loot comes to them, they`ll keep in for themselves & thus using Japan as an excuse.
Judgmental much?
Sex sells. Its a known marketing tactic, even if the US is too prudish to go any further than skimpy clothing unless its an R rated movie.
So... this would work, without all of your other judgmental comments being anywhere close to valid.
Also, whore = someone who charges for sex. has nothing to do with anything above.
It doesn't.
But that's not stopping them, the cameras and imminent faps from happening.
"Just wondering...
How is this supposed to help Japan?"
Because all the insenstive bullshit about past transgressions really doesnt help today's people. So their history is littered with war and violence, so what? that is the case for most countries.
So when a natural disaster occurs and people point out the bad things their ancestors did it really is pointless.
Some people say the earthquake was divine retribution and I feel thats what femen is protesting against. That its better to shake boobies rather than the Earth.
I'd rather see boobs than stupid messages about pearl harbor etc..
Japan needs every help they can get at this point and if titties were offered, than titties should be received.
People are really using this disaster to promote themselves....
Well at least this one is good and not like the bad ones from before.
I have a perfect idea: if they like to show their boobs so much. They can offer to show them to someone in exchange for a donation to help Japan. Then their protests would accomplish something.
Well, at least they are not insulting... Or at least I don't see an insult...
...not like I could see anything besides the boobs...
but they are ugly soz they dont count
dude you are an idiot , how are those chicks ugly . Boobies are finely shaped and all , are you into old men or something ?
Can you not see her face? She IS ugly. Not every girl with a nice rack is attractive FFS.
"That's your fault then. Why were you looking at her face?"
^Trying to hard. This one's a closet fag.
Am I the only one who laughed my ass off at how ridiculous their logic is?
Looks like just about anything is a good enough reason to show boobs. You can even protest against nature nowadays...
*epic facepalm*
Is that what this is? I couldn't tell what they were actually protesting, since you know Nature don't give no fuck about titties. It's fine though, cause I do.
They aren't protesting anything. They are trying to bring attention to the disaster. Could you really not figure that out?
You kidding? For a moment there as I scrolled down the pics, I braced me-self as the chick placed that sword Edge side up under her tits! I sickly thought the next one would have her arms thrust straight up with Both knickers looped OFF!
Devotion indeed if so~~~~~*shnik*
I think their stance is still basically "pro women's equality" since "Anti-earthquakes" isn't really very controversial.
Honestly, I think it REALLY says something when a Feminist group (you know, the kind Japan will occasionally fight from time to time) shows more compassion for them than ISHIHARA! Seriously, at least these people are showing some semblance of morality.
Isn't anything a good reason to show those tits?
"Hey I got my dick in my hand, show those tits!!"
I have no problem with this, except that I believe the Femen's protest was rather incomplete.
After shaking their boobies to protest the earthquake, should they not have gone bottomless to protest the fissures which opened in the cities' concrete, peed on the ground to protest the Tsunami, and farted to protest the radiation leak?
What's the Protest for? I don't get their Point of doing such thing in public.
The main point is that there is none.
I really don't find this amusing, but they feel that they are making a difference so I guess both parties win right?
Well.... Their country has been hit by a worse nuclear accident. But who cares, their women still have boobs. Maybe that's the point. Natural distraction is going to happen anyway, but who cares.. Just shake those boobs as long as you can :P

Keep in mind that it was not unusual for a last name to be altered as an ancestor entered a new country.
Mc Myne DNA Projects
Don't believe the hype! When DNA testing was first made available for genealogical purposes, some companies boasted how it could solve all your Mc Myne family tree mysteries. DNA testing can be a useful tool, when applied properly to a given research issue. If you're not sure how DNA testing could aid your Mc Myne research, read "Utilizing DNA in Family History Research".
Mc Myne Family History
Every family has a different history, and every document you discover about your Mc Myne ancestors will help paint a picture that can be shared with your relatives. Whether you are a beginner or expert genealogists, knowing How do I find my Mc Myne family history on the Internet? is always useful.

Networking with Mc Myne Researchers
If you are doing genealogy research in a particular town or region distant from where you live, you may want to consider posting a message board query requesting a lookup; often local volunteers or residents are willing to lend a hand, but remember to be specific in your request and be respectful of others' time. The article "Looking for John Smith - Focusing a Query" provides some valuable tips for posting successful Mc Myne queries.
You may also want to consider posting a query to the Community Message Boards at Genealogy Today to get assistance from other researchers on your most elusive Mc Myne ancestors.

Upcoming Mc Myne Family Reunions
Whenever possible, consider holding the family reunion in place where you have a strong Mc Myne family history, which provides opportunities to share stories and visit cemeteries or old home sites; you may even want to consider as a one-day activity, having each family take on the task of gathering information from the local courthouse, school district, public library, etc. -- this, of course, requires advance planning and assignment, but could generate considerable interest and results. The article "Reunions: Beyond Aunt Pat's Rhubarb Pie and Aunt Edna's Wet Kisses" may provide you with tips for hosting a successful Mc Myne reunion.

Vintage Scanspeak drivers, modern crossover, trials and tribulations
It all started with a fleamarket Ortofon P20 and
http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/SS_vintage.htm. Making a modernized version of the P20 with a more elaborate crossover and just using the larger tweeter went fine. Installed in a box everything sounded good. At the time I had everything patched together, to tidy things up I among other things resoldered the wires on the tweeters. In this case the usual tags are mechanically very sturdy metal rods, about 5mm in diameter and 40mm long. For some reason this mechanical sturdyness was not linked to thermal robustness, and my soldering killed one of the tweeters.... Well I had an other pair of 4 Ohm tweeters just as the D3804 dome. So I just swapped it in and it did not sound that good. The replacement a vintage Luxor dome not that dissimilar to Peerless domes of the time with a high Q resonance at 1 kHz is quite different from the D3804 that has a very well damped resonanse at 700 Hz. Blue and green curves respectively. With the crossover at about 2 kHz bad things happens with that high Q resonance. I hastily made a LCR trap of what I had at home. Orange= driver, pink and green= LCR trap. Blue= driver and LCR combined. I guess that I could work with components values to increase the 1.5-5 kHz one ohm or so. System impedance is not far from Troeds design. Frequency response from the individual drivers (close) and system 1 m on axis looks quite good. I used the the XTZ Room Analyser II, a setup aimed at analysing rooms so the measurements are quite basic and is affected by reflections from the surroundings as well as the foot of the microphone. I might revisit this later with better measurement gear. The box is a rather squat onken style box tuned to about 55 Hz. With removable baffle it has proven to be a very useful tool for testing various drivers. After decades of very slim speakers they do look quite odd especially on stands. |

Registered 11 years agoFrom the front page.
2K has announced the second expansion for Civilization 5.
It's called Brave New World, is developed by Firaxis Games and is due out on the PC and Mac this summer.
Brave New World introduces nine new civilizations, each with new unique units and builders. There are new leaders, too, including Casimir III of Poland.
A new Culture Victory condition has been added. To this end you can use Great Artists, Writers and Musicians to create masterpieces. To win a Culture Victory you need to become the first civilization with a majority influence in all other civilizations.
Also new is World Congress, which votes on issues such as trade sanctions against rogue nations. Firaxis said you'll be able to influence "game-changing resolutions". "A new lead into the Diplomatic Victory ensures that the end of the game will be more dynamic than ever before."
Elsewhere, there's new International Trade Routes, eight new wonders, including the Parthenon, Broadway and the Uffizi, and two new scenarios: War Between the States (fight the American Civil War from either the Union or Confederate side), and Scramble for Africa.
"After adding a number of great new features to Civilization 5 with the Gods & Kings expansion, the team continued to search for ways to create even more exciting gameplay through new systems and features," said Civilization creator Sid Meier.
"We're happy to bring our fans another ambitious expansion that will provide hours and hours of new Civilization experiences."

I've had Civ V installed on my Mac ever since I replaced my ancient one a couple of years ago. I've been playing games since long before the first Civ was released, and have owned a couple of Civ games (1 and I think 3, on top of trying FreeCiv countless times) without ever managing to click with them. The only one I've really got into was Revolution, so I'd arrived at the conclusion that the main series was too complex for me to be bothered with, but I left it installed anyway just in case.
I loaded it today because I felt guilty that Steam was telling me I'd only "played" it for four minutes, so I figured I'd have time to bash through the tutorials before settling in to drink beer and watch the football, then the boxing.
It's nearly 2 a.m. here in Prague now. I didn't see the football or boxing, and the beer's still in the fridge. -

Registered 4 years agoyeah...I dont like how much time i use on it, but once i start it there is no way back
Civ V is simple but yet so compelling -
I've always had a soft spot for what used to be called "god games" (a genre that back then was considered to include everything from Sim City to Syndicate), but I haven't lost track of time like that since the original Settlers on the Amiga. I can see from this thread that some of the purists don't like it, but I'm hooked. Maybe I'll go back and re-try some of the older games in the series once I've properly got to grips with this one, it's always been a regret that I never got on with the original as much as I expected to. -
I'm a Civ IV diehard, but the idea of no stacks is so tempting in its own right... -
I'm loving the scenarios. I must have only played one or two full games of Civ5, because I spend almost all my time on the scenarios. The fall or Rome is a fucker.
What's a good resource for learning different playstyles? I keep finding myself dropping into a 'build everything' mode and covering all options, but I'd like to try specialising properly. Particularly with religion. -

If the former: it looks like you have had mining for a while (considering you have coal) and the place looks mined.
I'd guess the mine either isn't fully finished yet or it's just ye ole resource yield display bug causing tiles to appear to yield less than they actually do. Hover over the hex when out of city view to see actual yield.
If the latter: you're probably trading silver away you tool ;P -

Dr. Jekyll (Mark Blankfield) is a highly regarded surgeon with a yen to move into pure research. Seems he's been looking for a formula that will help humans explore their animal nature ... or something. Hitting some type of jackpot, he concocts a white powder that turns him into a capering disco fiend. The die is then cast, as Jekyll must choose between animalistic sex with a lounge singer-cum-hooker (Krista Erricson as Ivy) or chaste, surgeon-ly love with his betrothed; a virginal, racist, rich white snob (Bess Armstrong as Mary) who's father owns the hospital where Jekyll works. Further complicating our hero's life, (and compromising our enjoyment of the movie) low-level blackmail comes into play as Jekyll's boss holds daughter out as bait in exchange for a 'whole body' transplant Jekyll would rather not perform.
Episodic, grinding and not the least bit funny are ways to describe what happens next. After a briefly promising start - wherein the movie looks like it might turn out an affable, poor-man's Young Frankenstein crossed with Young Doctors In Love - Together Again shoots right off the rails. Actual jokes are few and far between, with tiny bits of Zucker Brothers-type comedy being the exception. What's left, mainly, are three interminable segments in which Jekyll snorts the formula, hulks out, runs off to pay for sex with Ivy with a bag of groceries, wakes up, regrets what he's done, and runs to Mary. Jekyll's transformation is mildly amusing; bling appears from under his skin and he comes equipped with coke-snorting gear, but the 20 minutes it seems to take for Jekyll to transform is unbearable. This relatively short movie feels composed of 65% hysterical mugging from this unlikable gent. Really, Blankfield makes Jim Carrey look mellow: like I said, I hope he was genuinely coked up for this. As ferocious physical effort, Blankfield's effort is heroic. Entertaining? Not even close.
When Hyde climbs the walls of Mary's mansion for some wooing, two live, African American little people - dressed-up and holding lanterns like the statues that flank wealthy people's stairways in the Deep South - comment: "Is that a white guy up there? Let him fall ..." That's so funny I knocked over my cotton gin. Ivy and other ladies who cross Hyde's path are problematic too, as they'll pimp themselves out or call themselves trash in order to get at his dangerous dong. Some of other less offensive (but no less flat) attempts at humor flail about before Hyde (further ganking from Young Frankenstein) performs a screeching, awful disco song and dance called 'Hyde's Got Nothin' To Hide' for purposes that elude me. As an horrific penultimate capper, it does this crappy movie proud. When (SPOILER ALERT) the various ladies in Jekyll/Hyde's life decide they'll share the task of 'taking care of him' I tossed my DVD player out the window.
You owe me big time for this one, DVDTalk.
The DVD
Video: Jekyll comes together with Hyde in 1.78:1 ratio enhanced for widescreen televisions. With a fairly crisp, clear image and no glaring compression artifacts the stage is set to spot consistent (but not distracting) film grain and a few bits of damage here and there. In all, the movie looks quite decent for its age. Colors aren't particularly vibrant, but are fairly natural, while dark areas are consistent but not super-deep.
Sound: Prevailing trends lead one to believe we're dealing with Dolby Digital Stereo Audio, though packaging remains mum. Deficiencies from source audio aren't an issue, the mix is fairly dynamic for stereo, and levels are balanced well too. There's no aggressive sound design, just Blankfield screaming, yelling and hollering non-stop. Oh, and the horrible soundtrack songs come through loud and clear.
Extras: Paramount's Legend Films imprint is the guilty party, cursed to sail a ghost-galleon forever for dredging up this misbegotten movie. They did it justice, however, by including no extras, save Closed Captioning and Chapter Stops.
Final Thoughts: I recall seeing the VHS box for this junker at my local rental agent when I was but a lad. It looked like crap sitting there, then, and the truth will always out. Now that I've had to watch it, I pronounce it crap. Not zany enough, too few jokes, too many jokes that are just wrong, and far more hardcore capering from Blankfield than anyone should put up with. Why didn't they pull the plug on this one while viewing rushes? It's that bad, so please Skip It.

Welcome to ehealthforum and thanks for writing
Pain under the left rib cage along with heartburn could be due to:
1) The first possibility is of Peptic ulcer disease or Hiatal hernia. Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper GI endoscopy. Try raising the head of your bed about four inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for two hours before you lie down. To help control the stomach acid, one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them, or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods. Also take some antacid but if the symptoms are severe, then you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors.
2.)The second possibility is of pancreatitis as it may cause upper left abdominal pain which is worse when bending over or sitting. Pancreatic enzymes like serum amylase and lipase should be measured to rule out any pancreatic cause.
3)The last possibility is of any kidney stones which may present as sharp pain radiating to the back. For this purpose you need to get an ultrasound abdomen and kidneys done.
I suggest you to consult a physician and get an ultrasound upper left abdomen, pancreatic enzymes, upper GI endoscopy to rule out any peptic ulcers and a chest x-ray done to rule out these causes.
Take care!
