Although I play with computer hardware on daily basis, it is still fun when the opportunity to build an entire system from scratch arises. Having that said, I had a heap of fun with the Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000 as it truly is a pleasure to work with. Everything seemed to be where I wanted it to be, and there was enough room to install things the way you want to.
Before I began to build my new HTPC, I tried installing everything in their possible locations. To be perfectly honest, I had no problems with the case layout I could write about. Being such a large case, the Tyr PC-X2000 was pleasing to work with, no tight fits anywhere. Hardware becomes very accessible, which is great in case you need to install/remove hardware later on.
Getting into the case could not have been easier as it only requires to remove a single thumb screw, then pull from a small latch that allows removal of the door.
With a completely empty Tyr PC-X2000 case on the workbench, I first had to pick the hardware that would eventually end up inside it. So my choice of parts was as follows: Thermaltake Toughpower 750w power supply, Gigabyte EP45-DS4R motherboard, 4GB OCZ memory, Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 processor, Palit Radeon HD 4850 Sonic graphics card, six 1TB Samsung hard drives, and the Noctua NH-C12P cooler.
The Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000 supports the EATX (extended ATX) format, meaning motherboards as tall as 13 will fit comfortably. Lian Li also included a special mounting bracket that supports server motherboards though we didn't use this. The case comes with standard mounting screws that the user must install where necessary to support their motherboard.
As mentioned earlier, the hot-swappable drive bays are one of my favorite features as they made installing hard drives into the Tyr PC-X2000 extremely quick and easy. Once the drive bays are connected to the motherboard, you never need to touch another SATA data or power cable again.
The case does require you to install a special bracket to the hard drive which is done using four custom-made screws. This should take less than a minute, and once completed you can simply slide the drive into one of the six hot-swap bays. Installing optical drives was done in a similar fashion, which I found to be just as easy.
All the case fans use 3-pin power connectors, though Lian Li has kitted them with their own 4-pin power adapters, allowing the user to plug them directly into the power supply if they choose to do so. Alternatively, the three frontal fans can be connected to a fan speed controller using the 3-pin connectors. This gives the option to run the fans at one of the three available speed settings.

Sex-offender ban eyed near colleges
Original post made by sue, Gunn High School, on Aug 16, 2008
| Lawmakers and college administrators are trying to shut paroled sex offenders out of one of the few places they can still live - student neighborhoods near major U.S. universities.
"A convicted sexual felon should not be able to live next-door to your college student," said Alabama state Rep. Jamie Ison, a Republican who sponsored a bill that would include universities under the legal definition of a school.
In Los Angeles, 60 offenders live within a mile of the University of Southern California. Nine live within a mile of Duke University in Durham, N.C. In Chicago, six can be found within a mile of Northwestern University. Within a two-mile radius of Jacksonville University in Florida are 93 paroled sex offenders. Web Link

I certainly support keeping sex offenders away from campuses, some students are under 18 and the 18-21yrs old are vulnerable more so with alcohol around.
There should be a technical solution such as implanting an identification chip or a GPS monitoring system.
I realize these felons have to live somewhere, probably some sort of camp would be best, far away from kids and vulnerable young people.

Devil's Island? Yes, the technological solution is the best hope. Internal exile - let's ask the Tsar how well that worked out.
Another solution is to get away from this Nancy-pants coddling and bring back penal servitude that is indeed servitude.

A few of the vagrants on University or on the offenders website and one hangs around Pete's by Whole Foods.
What sort of area is proposed for the ban? one mile from campus?
Off campus Stanford student housing extends to MV, RWC and MP how practical is that?

I believe Stanford has as strong policy, but Palo Alto does not, the predators have free range here, why is that?
a resident of Midtown
on Aug 17, 2008 at 7:25 am
Sharon: Sex Offenders must comply with California law. Both Stanford and Palo Alto must also comply with California law. An initiative was passed by the voters of California which says where sex offenders may and may not live. However, that does not stop an initiative regarding colleges being placed on the ballot at some future time.
a resident of Barron Park

Sex offenders have rights. Society has rights. Balancing the two is the issue.
Felons lose their right to vote. Sex offenders lose their right to privacy. Both are the result of having been convicted of a crime in a court of law.
Whose rights demand greater protection, a young female sexually assaulted or the person convicted of sexually assaulting her?
Both have rights which should be protected in a democratic system of laws. If we must err, I would err on the side of the victim. The perpertrator chose the course of action, the victim did not. A choice which will be wrong in some cases, but right in most.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!We were rear ended while waiting at a stop light by a fully insured guy with USAA insurance (same insurance that we have) who was driving a large Range Rover. We were sitting at a stop light when he hit us while speeding. Police report is very clear and he was totally at fault. All 4 of my small children (6,4,2,and 7 months old) were in the mini van along with my wife. We have all experienced pain and bruising. We are all going to the chiropractor and all of our backs and necks are messed up. I already did all the leg work between USAA and Blue Cross Blue Sheild (my insurance), would hiring a lawyer at this point be worth their 1/3 of what they make me legal fee? The accident occured on 4/13/13. We are all in pain and the car was totaled. I appreciate any advice on this.
You don't necessarily need to hire a lawyer, but you should at least speak with a few qualified Board Certified attorneys. You can also research your situation on our law firm's website:
If you have questions after visiting our site, let us know and one of our Board Certified attorneys will be happy to address your questions.
I always tell people that the insurance companies are the only winners when people try to handle settlements themselves. Generally attorneys can assist with not only getting a higher settlement, but also reducing medical bills. Is that worth 1/3 of the legal fee? I believe it is. In any event, if you have not provided a statement to USAA - Do not. They are only interested in minimizing the extent of your injuries. The best thing you can do is talk with a lawyer and Know your Rights before settling. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Good luck to you and your family.
Know YOUR Rights. Take Action Now. CALL 855-648-4695. Legal disclaimer:This message does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Any statements are made for general informational purposes and do not constitute legal advice. Mr. Crockett is licensed in Texas in Illinois only.
I'm sorry to hear about your accident. I've got two young girls (2 and 10 months) and would have serious concerns about them seeing a chiropractor (and I have nothing against chicorpractors.)
As far as your main question, I would tell you unequivocally to hire a lawyer. I'd avoid the ones on TV, but a good personal injury lawyer will be worth it, no question.
I have personally seen this play out time and time again in my practice. I'd be happy to visit with you for free about the case, and you can decide from there whether to hire me or some other lawyer, or none at all.
Good luck.

It will cost you nothing to consult with a board certified personal-injury trial lawyer. You should not communicate with the insurance company any further until you have done so. After discussing the matter with one or more attorneys, you can make a decision.

My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.
Generally, it depends on how much the medical is and whether medical liens need to be negotiated down. But since all of you were hurt, I think getting a lawyer is a no brainer.
This is not legal advice. You should always discuss the specifics of your issue in person with an attorney. Be aware that there are time limits on all claims that depend on the kind of claim, so do not delay in seeking an attorney.
Yes. Retain one of the distinguished lawyers above to investigate your claim.
I am very sorry that your entire family is having to go through this. You definitely can't go wrong with any of the attorneys shown above that are from your local area there in Texas. Please do not continue working on this all by yourself. The insurance carrier for the other party is crossing its fingers that you do not hire a personal injury attorney there. You should concentrate on getting yourself and your family well from all of your injuries. Let your attorney handle the insurance carrier. Best of luck.
Mr. Crosner is licensed to practice law in California and has been practicing law in California since 1978. The response herein is general legal and business analysis.. It is not intended nor construed to be "legal advice" but rather it is analysis, and different lawyers may analyze this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. Oftentimes the question does not include significant and important facts and timelines that, if known, could significantly change the reply and make it unsuitable. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.
The answer depends upon many factors which cannot all be addressed here. Here are some considerations and questions I would mention: 1) Don't even think about talking to the other driver's adjuster about anyone's injuries while you are still under a doctors care. Don't make the mistake of assuming because it is the same insurance as yours they will treat you differently. Legally, they cannot. They must assign a different adjuster to the other driver than you. They must treat each policy like they are from two separate companies. The other driver's job is to look out for the other driver's best interests, not yours. That adjuster will try to get you to minimize your own injuries by agreeing with statements like "its a good thing nobody was seriously hurt." The recording of you agreeing to that will get thrown back in your face when you realize the back pain isn't going away. 2) Have you made a pip claim on your own policy? 3) Have the little ones seen their pediatrician? 4) Is there a hospital lien to negotiate? 5) Don't agree to give any recorded statements to the other driver's adjuster. 6) Did you know that the fact that the defendant go ticketed is generally not admissible in a civil lawsuit for personal injuries? Statements of causation routinely get excluded too. 7) Do you know how to negotiate liens and subrogation claims? 8) How much time do you have on your hands because this is not going to be a quick, easy process.
I would suggest you at least speak to a lawyer who does free consultations and see what you are in for before you decide to go this road alone. There have been times when I have meet with someone who had a case that truly was small and simple enough that I told them "yea, you can go this one alone and call me if you hit a snag." Sometimes they call back and hire me, other times I never hear from them again. But why not get a free consultation and make sure you are on the right path? Most personal injury lawyers offer a free consult.
The stakes are much higher when you are talking about an interruption of the lives of your entire family. I recommend you talk to a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible. Using an attorney for your injury claim will take the pressure off of you and your family so you can concentrate on getting well and you will end up with more in your pocket, even after paying an attorney's fee.
Most lawyers specialized in the field of personal injury will be glad to provide you with initial consultation free of charge. One of the major problems with "chancing it" by not hiring a lawyer is that one or more of you are injured more than initially thought. I have field dozens and dozens of calls from potential clients who found themselves in this position, yet they had done already done damage to their case by not initially consulting a lawyer. Without a doubt, you should consult a lawyer, and one who's practice primarily involves personal injuries.
Licensed to practice law in all Texas Courts as well as the Eastern and Southern Divisions of United States District Court. For more information about my areas of practice, please go to our website - www.gta-law.com. Or, if you have follow up questions, you might email me at email@example.com. An attorney-client relationship is not formed until the client and attorney have agreed in writing that representation should be accepted and an explanation of the terms of the representation.
I would definitely consult an attorney. Most attorneys will offer you a free initial consultation where you can ask the lawyer any questions and make a judgment as to whether to hire them. Typically, lawyers will be able to obtain better results with a carrier justifying their fee.

Inventors ordinarily profit from their inventions by licensing them to manufacturers or distributors to commercially use or develop for a period of time. Inventors' compensation typically takes the form of royalties based upon the invention's sales. How such royalties are measured is extremely important.
Net sales are the most common measurement for royalty payments. In a net sales license, the royalty rate is multiplied against the net sales. The big issue when negotiating net sales is what deductions should be included in the definition of net sales. Obviously, the more deductions there are, the less money the inventor will earn. It is generally acceptable for net sales to include deductions for shipping freight, taxes, credits, returns and discounts made at time of sale. It is less desirable deductions for sales commissions, debts, uncollectible accounts, promotions, marketing and advertising.
Sometimes a licensee may seek to increase sales by offering a discount on large quantity orders. The licensee then deducts this discount (also referred to as a volume discount) from net sales. This can be favorable to the licensor because it increases sales. If you choose to include it, you should qualify the discount by describing a quantity discount as "a discount made at the time of shipment" or "a discount actually shown on the invoice," since it is possible that an unscrupulous licensee may attempt to offer a discount after items are shipped, splitting the discount with the purchaser and diminishing your royalty payment.
Sometimes a licensee may seek to deduct bad debts and uncollectible accounts. For example, say a third party orders products and then fails to pay. The licensee feels no royalty should be paid since no money was earned for these sales. On the other hand, you are not a collection agency and should not have to lose money because of the licensee's bad business dealings. Even though insolvency and uncollected debts are not especially common, it would be better for you to avoid this deduction.
Sometimes a salesperson is paid a commission for each sale of the licensed product. The licensee may seek to deduct these commissions under the net sales definition. We would discourage the deduction of commissions because they are a cost of the licensee's business.
Net sales are supposed to be total sales, not a collection of business deductions. For that reason we would discourage the use of promotional, marketing or advertising deductions in the definition of net sales. Marketing should be a cost of doing business, not a licensor expense.
This vague term includes a wide range of costs and business expenses. If the term "fees" can be made more specific, you may be more comfortable with the deduction.
Freight and shipping costs of the product, although a cost of doing business, are traditionally treated as a deduction against net sales.
It is acceptable for a licensee to deduct credits and returns from the total net sales, since returns reflect merchandise which was not purchased or was defective. Some licensors prefer to qualify the definition to state "bona fide returns" or "returns actually made or allowed as supported by credit memoranda" in order to weed out returns which are part of some unscrupulous arrangement between distributors and retailers.
If a product is taxed locally, it is common to include this as a deduction against net sales.
One way to limit net sales deductions is to place a limit on the amount to be deducted. For example, in your license agreement you could include a statement that reads as follows:
"In no event may the total amount deducted from net sales (for discounts, credits or returns) during any royalty period exceed ten percent of the gross sales of the products during that royalty period."
A provision such as this guarantees that the deductions will never be more than 10% of gross sales. Some license agreements forego a listing of the deductions and simply state that net sales are "gross sales minus ten percent for shipping, freight, taxes, returns and other deductions." This provision may not accurately reflect the actual deductions but it does remove any accounting issues. That is, you no longer have to wonder whether net sales deductions are accurate.

Intel Atom processor used in Safaricom Yolo in Kenya
Intel's Atom processor is being used in an Android smartphone in Africa for the first time, courtesy of Safaricom. The Yolo, based on Intel's smartphone reference design shown at CES this year, appears to be a mid-range offering that has been designed for the "cost-conscious and first-time buyers" in the Kenyan emerging market.

 Powered by the "Lexington" Atom Z2420 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, the Yolo has a 480x320, 3.5-inch touchscreen and a 400Mhz GPU, according to Techweez. Internal storage is set at 4GB, expandable by up to 32GB via microSD, and has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with a seven-shot burst mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, FM Radio, and a 1500mAh battery. WiDi connectivity is possible, while buyers will also get a one-year subscription to McAfee Mobile Security at no extra charge. The Yolo is on sale in Kenya for Kshs 10,999 ($125) as part of a bundle with 500MB of data. The smartphone may reach other markets in Africa, as Intel is still working with other producers to create Lexington-based handsets, though not necessarily in this exact form. |

Procyon (also known as Alpha Canis Minoris) is a binary star system, made up of companion stars named Procyon A and Procyon B about 3.49 parsecs (11.4 light years) from Earth, where it is visible in the constellation of Canis Minor, in Beta Quadrant. (ST references: Star Fleet Technical Manual, Spaceflight Chronology)
The Federation starship USS Procyon was named for this location, or for Procyon A, which was also known simply as "Procyon." (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)
On several occasions in 2364, viewscreen readouts aboard the USS Enterprise-D showed the location of Procyon, in the form of charts from the Enterprise library computer. (TNG episodes: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Conspiracy")
- The Chronology depicted Procyon's components and distance from Earth on star chart illustrations, but since it is a "real" star system, modern scientists know a few things about its makeup that weren't in its Star Trek mentions. It is notable that Procyon was briefly glimpsed onscreen in canon productions of Star Trek because the production staff copied their star charts from the earlier Chronology.
The Andorian system was located here. (ST references: Star Charts, Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library)

In the Battles of Großbeeren and neighboring Blankenfelde and Sputendorf (23 August 1813) an allied Prussian-Swedish army under Crown Prince Charles John – formerly Marshal of France Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte – defeated the French under Marshal Oudinot. Napoleon had hoped to drive the Prussians out of the Sixth Coalition by capturing their capital, but the swamps south of Berlin combined with rain and the Marshal's ill health all contributed to the French defeat.
Following the Battle of Bautzen, in May 1813, during the War of the Sixth Coalition, both sides agreed to a seven-week truce to plan and better prepare. When the campaign resumed, in August, Napoleon ordered an offensive drive to take the Prussian capital of Berlin. With its capture, he hoped to knock the Prussians out of the war. Meanwhile, he kept the bulk of his army on the strategic defensive, to deal with any potential moves by the large Austrian army, which had now gathered in southeastern Germany. For this task, he chose one of his bravest and best commanders, Marshal Nicolas Oudinot, to lead the offensive. Oudinot tried to turn down this honor due to his poor health. He had been wounded on several occasions during the previous year's disastrous campaign in Russia, and had not yet fully recovered. But the emperor insisted, so Oudinot with three corps of about 60,000 men advanced on Berlin.
Unknown to both Napoleon and Oudinot at the time, this strategy played right into the Coalition's hands. In accordance with their Trachenberg Plan (formulated during the truce) they would avoid any large, main engagement with Napoleon himself until after they had gathered overwhelming strength and weakened the emperor by defeating his marshals in separate, smaller battles.
From its start the offensive was plagued by misfortune. On the same day as the advance began, 19 August, heavy rain storms broke out turning the roads into muddy quagmires and making it nearly impossible to move the artillery. Further hindering the advance, the area south of Berlin was crisscrossed with small lakes and swamps. In the best of weather there were only a couple of roads by which to approach the city from the south. But rain turned many of the Prussian defensive positions into fortified islands. Oudinot was forced to advance his Corps along three separate roads, with little communication between them. General Bertrand's 4th Corps of 13,000 men and 32 cannons to the right, on the left General Guilleminot's 12th Corps of 20,000 mainly inexperienced recent recruits (nicknamed Marie-Louises). In the center was the main column of General Jean Reynier's 7th Corps of 27,000 largely French allied Saxon troops. Oudinot did not expect any serious opposition and a lack of cavalry kept him unaware of the position of the enemy. Berlin was defended by the Army of the North, commanded by Crown Prince Charles John of Sweden, formerly French Marshal Bernadotte. When Reynier's corps reached Großbeeren, he encountered the bulk of Prince Charles' army drawn up for battle. Acting without orders or support, he attacked Friedrich von Bülow's corps, which had just been reinforced by the Swedes to 38,000, and was repulsed with heavy casualties. Oudinot, unable to concentrate his army, arrived late in the day just as Reynier's Saxons had begun to waver after that general failed to rally them for another assault. Realizing the advance had been checked, and believing his army was in an exposed position, Oudinot ordered the retreat to Jüterbog after sustaining heavy losses. Reynier alone lost over 3,000 dead and wounded, 1,500 made prisoner and 13 artillery pieces.
The defeat at Großbeeren, combined with continued ill health, had shaken Oudinot's confidence, and he continued the general retreat to Wittenberg. Napoleon was furious with Oudinot, not so much for his defeat, but for his withdrawal to Wittenberg instead of back to Luckau. He fumed, "It is truly difficult to have fewer brains than the duke of Reggio!". Napoleon then appointed Marshal Michel Ney to lead a second drive on Berlin with the same three, now reduced and demoralized, corps and the ailing Oudinot as Ney's subordinate. The result would be the Battle of Dennewitz.
Literary reference[edit]
In 1833 Theodor Fontane – then a fourteen-year-old boy – visited the site of the Battle of Großbeeren and was deeply impressed, later writing a school essay about this battle – the first work known to have been penned by a man who would become a major German writer. Fontane recounted this reminiscence in a much later essay, written in his old age (1894). He mentioned also that his mother – at the time a young Berlin woman – had in the aftermath of the battle tended wounded soldiers, both German and French. Being of a Huguenot family who still spoke French among themselves, she was able to speak to dying French soldiers in their own language.[1]

Once giants walked this earth, and some of them were Democrats. In sharp contrast to the thin gruel that passes for leadership today, the old party of the people, with all its flaws, shaped much of the modern world, and usually for the better. Think of Franklin Roosevelt or Harry Truman, John Kennedy, or California's Pat Brown, politicians who believed in American greatness, economic growth, and upward mobility. read more »

California Business Needs to Go Small or Go Home
Here's the bitter reality for business in much of California: there's no cavalry riding to rescue you from the state's regulatory and tax vise. The voters in California have spoken, and with a definitive, distinctive twist, turned against any suggestion of reform and confirmed the continued domination of the state by public employee unions, environmental activists and their crony capitalist allies. read more »
The Curious Comeback Of U.S. Downtowns
Perhaps nothing better illustrates the notion of urban revival in America than the comeback of many downtown districts. Yet if these areas have recovered some of their vigor, they are doing so in a manner that hardly suggests a return to their glory days in the first half of the 20th Century.
Instead what's emerging is a very different conceptualization of downtown, as a residential alternative that appeals to the young and childless couples, and that is not so much a dominant economic hub, but one of numerous poles in the metropolitan archipelago, usually with an outsized presence of financial institutions, government offices and business service firms. read more »
The Three Generations of Black Mayors in America
A select group of cities elected black mayors during the brief and tumultuous Black Power Era, seeking to implement an activist social justice platform. These cities – notably Cleveland, Gary, Newark and Detroit among large cities — became stigmatized in a way that few have been able to recover from. A negative narrative was developed about most of them that stuck, despite considerable efforts to dispel them. Cities that elected "first black mayors" after the Black Power Era, during a period of relative calm, were able to adapt as the political skill set grew in the read more »

New Class Order
In this predictably difficult year for the Democrats, the party of the people is turning, of all people, to its plutocrats. However much the party stigmatizes right-wing billionaires like the Koch brothers, a growing proportion of America's ultra-rich have become devoted Democrats, giving them an edge in fund-raising. Indeed, an analysis of billionaire contributors this year by Politifact found that 13 supported liberals while only nine backed Republicans. read more »
Legal but Still Poor: The Economic Consequences of Amnesty
With his questionably Constitutional move to protect America's vast undocumented population, President Obama has provided at least five million immigrants, and likely many more, with new hope for the future. But at the same time, his economic policies, and those of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, may guarantee that many of these newly legalized Americans will face huge obstacles trying to move up in a society creating too few opportunities already for its own citizens, much less millions of the largely ill-educated and unskilled newcomers. read more »
The Progressives' War on Suburbia

Choosing Fortune Over Freedom
"If the 19th [century] was the century of the individual (liberalism means individualism), you may consider that this is the 'collective' century, and, therefore, the century of the state."
Benito Mussolini, "The Doctrine of Fascism" (1932), translated by Barbara Moroncini.
Where goes the 21st century? Until recently, it could be said that, with the defeat of fascism, in 1945, followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union about a half century later, that we had seen the demise of what the Italian dictator Mussolini envisioned as "a century of authority." But, now, liberalism's global triumphal march, as was so brazenly predicted in some corners just two decades ago, seems to have slowed, and may even be going into reverse. read more »

Paul Rudd found it ''surreal'' getting back into character for 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues'.
The 'This is 40' actor – who starred alongside Will Ferrell and Steve Carrell in 2004's 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' – admitted it was strange returning to the franchise almost a decade after the original film was made.
He told Digital Spy: ''It has been [a decade] which is crazy to think about. I'm really excited. We start shooting next month and it's unbelievable – it's been almost a decade.
''When it was announced, we didn't even really know. Will Ferrell was on a talk show as Ron Burgundy and I just remember the day before, I got this message, 'You gotta watch Conan tomorrow night'. And that's how I found out.
''A week later we all got together to film a teaser trailer for it and it was surreal getting back into the costume and seeing each other.''
The 43-year-old star – who plays Brian Fantana in the films – added that he hopes fans will still be interested in the film despite the long wait between the original and the sequel, which is due for release later this year.
He said: ''It seemed with 'Anchorman', it got more popular after it was in the movie theatre. Hopefully the interest will still be there 10 years later. It seems like [there will be interest because of] the number of people that ask about it.''

Sometimes you need to go back to the beginning to remember where you came from. Robert Earl Keen has obviously taken a long, hard look at the music he's been making since 1997's Picnic, the album that put him on the map commercially and made him a superstar in Texas. Keen's records after 1994's Gringo Honeymoon have, no matter how commercially successful and stylistically and sonically imaginative, lacked the focus of his earlier ones. Ready for Confetti, despite its title, is the most natural-sounding, poetic Keen album since 1994. That doesn't mean he's gotten pretentious; nor that he's lost his sense of humor. There is precious little here that's extra; the writing reflects a steely eye for detail, arresting images, hooky melodies, and incisive vision; and, produced by Lloyd Maines, it contains an exquisite sense of balance. "Black Baldy Stallion" begins with Rich Brotherton's nylon-string guitar playing classical and flamenco motifs. Keen introduces his lonesome, bittersweet melody backed by an instantly memorable chorus. This song feels like it could have been included on 1993's Bigger Piece of Sky. Keen actually revisits that album by re-recording "Paint the Town Beige." While it doesn't replace the earlier version, it underscores its meaning from a place of wisdom, with Maines' pedal steel, and organic percussion coloring a slower tempo. The title track employs synthetic beats playing Caribbean rhythms, a perfect, saucy accompaniment to a nearly journalistic narrative on life's ironies. Country-blues and knee slaps fuel the darkly "I Gotta Go," with killer resonator guitar from Maines. "Lay Down My Brother" begins like it's coming out of a scratchy 78 before shifting into an elegiac country song. "The Road Goes on and on and On" is a scathing indictment disguised as a country shuffle, while "Waves on the Ocean," written with Dean Dillon, is a wedding of Texas country and reggae that works. The cover of Todd Snider's "Train Song" is deep enough to actually replace the original. The set closes with William M. Golden's "Soul of Man." Sometimes Keen performs it live sans microphone. Maines' convinced him to record it, and his restrained production, populated by bass, banjos, accordion, mandolins, guitars, and staggered, chorus-like backing voices, shimmers under Keen's grainy baritone delivery, sending the album off with a reverent whisper. Ready for Confetti is, without question, Keen's most inspired and focused project in nearly 20 years.

Well - I have to own up to one ND with a revo! 20 or more years ago.
I used to shoot comp's with my 686 and while on the line waiting for targets to turn ... I was premature on trigger in ready position and shot into ground! Egg on face and disqualified for that stage!
It was an ND but - as ND's go a pretty minor event - it still tho brought home the trigger discipline aspect of shooting.
Overall a revo is so much easier to clear anyways - swing out cyl - and it's empty or it ain't - no excuse for mistake. Of course if some maroon pics up a revo with no checks and starts pulling trigger, well - Russian roulette almost!
IMO there is much more potential for ND's in semi's - way too easy to drop mag and leave chambered round ... plus maybe too, poor safety use discipline. I am guessing but I'd suspect for every ten ND's with semi's - there just might be one with a revo .... probably not even that.

UTI with no bacteria?05/30/2008 |
Hi. I consider myself to have a chronic UTI problem. I have tested urine myself with dipsticks and never found anything other than protein (on one occasion), never any leucocytes, nitrites etc. It has been sent off for testing twice with negative results. It seems to affect my urethra mostly, sometimes I awake feeling very swollen, but if I drink a lot of water it eases and then starts to burn (actually relieved by urinating, tends to be worse between times). Is it possible to have a UTI without presence of bacteria?
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. A question similar to yours has been previously addressed. The links below will connect you to that information.

Reviews for Dream Cupcakes
"I made these yesterday for a family gathering and they were delicious! There were skeptics because of no frosting, but that issue was forgotten once the took a bite! The recipe made about 24 using my larger pans. Don't fill each tin more than half, and use about a tablespoon of filling for each. I baked mine 25 minutes and they were perfect! I did garnish the tops with a little cluster of mini chocolate chips when I took them out of the oven."
"EXCELLLENT!!! I usually make a similar recipe but this one is so much easier with less mess. My nine year old was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I've been looking for some good recipes. My two other teanage kids also loved them. Used 1/2 cup dark mini chocolate chips. Would put 10 stars if I could!!!"
"My 7-year-old daughter requested I make these for her classroom birthday treat. They were a hit! No frosting needed! We've also made these using strawberry cake mix, yum!"

The Discussion
LightSwitch looks like a real time saver for many apps. Being able to retarget to browser or out so simply is great. Being able to apply new data entry heuristics (from UI Research) to get most efficient table layouts with least keystrokes and mouse movements would seem very welcome. Will there be a Sketchy-style skin? I see need for galary built in to select community text box formats (i.e. phone, email, etc) and shells and layouts. I assume that is comming or is there already.
I would imagine some old MS Access folks are feeling good about themselfs to see a new product take a similar approach and bring it into present time. Is the story on Reports going to be just as cool or do we use ms report control? Thanks. Looks like a great product so far!
I wonder if VS LightSwitch will merge with SharePoint Designer 2010, looks like ideal for online Business App
I had to bail out after 20 minutes. Does the lightswitch tool create C# code that provides all the functionality featured? Do I run the app in the browser or the desktop?
LightSwitch supports development in both C# and VB .NET. LightSwitch applications can be run in the Silverlight 4 Out of Browser host or hosted within the browser.
LightSwitch is about building business applications using data from numerous sources and is not a SharePoint site development tool.
Couple questions, the product looks interesting for sure, I could see using it beyond just business use for quick one off personal data pulling/processing stuff where UI/Data view/entry is mostly optional but tedious to add in later if need arises.
1) Is it easy to bring data from CLR objects (binaryformatter) on the disk to the app?
2) If target system is Windows 7, can LS apps be xcopy deployed when LS app doesn't use Silverlight?
3) Can the backing store for the LS app data be simple CLR objects as well, or what's the lowest latency/init time option you have? Eg. if I know I'm not going to need SQL features, just LINQ to in memory objects, can I have that - I'm mostly after the load of the app being fast and not being impacted by stuff I don't use
What do you get cross the following
Microsoft Access Designer
WCF RIA Services
Cloud Services
You get ...Microsoft Lightswitch!! .....I love the idea
LightSwitch does not have built in support for using persisted CLR object from disk as a datasource. We're working on a blog series that goes deeper into the underlying architecture of a LightSwitch application over on the team's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lightswitch/archive/2010/08/06/the-anatomy-of-a-lightswitch-application-overview.aspx
All LightSwitch applications are Silverlight 4 applications. THey either run out-of-the-browser (the default option) or in the browser.

So, during my super-busy Monday, I apparently missed the brand new music video for Sigur Rós' "Fjögur píanó," which, as you may have heard, does feature a nude ... Shia LeBouf. What to make of this, I have no idea, but watch the video if you don't believe it.

or maybe obsidian supporters can use /back and /last and even /home in the wild!P.S. we would need to add obsidian supporters for this -_-
Baa, what's the fun in that.... I am really enjoying the community here on EMC - but I miss Hardcore... Try building a nice castle then getting vaporizied by creepers.
its good if u can aford to do it but if not that means that less people would have houses on the surver.well looks like im going to have to make sure my apartments are finished then
Yeah, many people want more perks added to the iron donator.If im planning to donate, the first thing im trying is iron donator, i wont go for the gold or diamond at the first time though ;p
I really don't agree with any of the suggestions for /last or /dmap or any of that. I think it would dull the survival experience.Also, please understand that Diamond and Gold are the ones getting more perks because they were way too weak as far as money to perk ratio. Iron is a great deal for 5 bucks. Just getting the assured spot on the server is more than enough to justify the 5, but then you get a rupee stipend as well as the ability to hide on the LiveMap.
This does sort of exist already. After you die DONT click the button to respawn, instead go to the Live Map and get your coordinates first
Guys it is called SUPPORTER for a reason. If they added a whole ton of perks to iron, or the others for that matter, it would be more of like suscribing to a pay option site, to have a huge advantage over free players. If they just added a whole ton of stuff to supporters, all of us freebies would likely leave, or some become supporters. So jus stop bugging Jeremy about it guys......
Long story short...Justin and I care about the Empire as a whole. This includes every supporter option as well. We also care about keeping the perks in balance. This means that each perk will have something significantly less than the one above it. Gold and Diamond will always by default have the more 'pulling' perks as the iron was just created as a very cheap alternative to get your reserved spot 24/7. Does this mean we won't ever add things to Iron? No. It simply means, that those who only get Iron should do so with the thought in mind that they're paying for a reserved slot, and anything else after that, is bonus.
I love it! But I feel as if the iron supporters are being left behind. Honestly I know quite a few who are involved in things like wow so they can't afford any better.
I see what you mean, but just look at the HUGE gap between Iron and free member.In fact, the gap is so large, I am thinking about getting iron. And next time you go on, notice how there are none, or only a couple, free members with largely successful shops or buisnesses, as the dont get 400 rupees everyday, or 1300. Nope, just 100
Don't forget you can double this daily 100r bonus by going to the "Rupees" page and voting for empire and getting 50r for each vote.

Sending an email using Microsoft Outlook 2003 is nothing original for most of the VBA developers. It is very common and also a very good practice. I hope that most of the VBA developers are very much familiar with this one. This article is not about how to send an email from customized Microsoft Office Applications using Microsoft Outlook API, it's about how to place / set an appointment using Microsoft Outlook 2003 API.
A large number of companies use the Microsoft Office application for their In/external office automation application. In this article, I would like to demonstrate how to set an appointment using Microsoft Outlook 2003 API.
Using the code is very simple. Before we start, I would like to share some objects of Microsoft Outlook 2003 API, which I used for this purpose. The objects list is given below:
More details on Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Integration API Reference can be found at this link.
I wrote a very simple procedure for doing this. A sample code example is given below.
Public Sub myAppointment(strRecipient As String, _ strSubject As String, _ strBody As String, _ dtStartDate As Date, _ Optional intReminder As Variant, _ Optional intDuration As Variant) 'Author: Md. Marufuzzaman 'Created: 'Description: Set an appointment; On Error GoTo ErrorHandler: Dim ObjApplication As Outlook.Application Dim ObjNamespace As Outlook.Namespace Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim ObjRecipient As Outlook.strRecipient Dim ObjApplicationt As Outlook.AppointmentItem Dim apptDate As Date Dim strContact As String Set ObjApplication = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set ObjNamespace = ObjApplication.GetNamespace("MAPI") Set ObjRecipient = ObjNamespace.CreatestrRecipient(strRecipient) Set objFolder = ObjNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(ObjRecipient, olFolderCalendar) If Not objFolder Is Nothing Then Set ObjApplicationt = objFolder.Items.Add If Not ObjApplicationt Is Nothing Then With ObjApplicationt .strSubject = strSubject .strBody = strBody .Start = dtStartDate If Not IsNull(intReminder) Then .ReminderSet = True .intReminderBeforeStart = intReminder End If If Not IsNull(intDuration) Then .intDuration = intDuration Else .intDuration = 10 End If .Save End With End If End If Set ObjApplication = Nothing Set ObjNamespace = Nothing Set objFolder = Nothing Set ObjRecipient = Nothing Set ObjApplicationt = Nothing Exit_myAppointment: Exit Sub ErrorHandler: MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error!" Resume Exit_myAppointment: End Sub
I hope that this article might be helpful to you. Enjoy!

Cathy Models the 1950's Maternity Ensemble!
Friends, the big day has finally arrived!
No, not Cathy's due date (sometime this summer, I believe). I mean the day of our 1950's maternity ensemble photo shoot!
This wasn't our easiest shoot, primarily because Cathy's ankles now have a tendency to swell and she constantly craves tuna fish with Nutella. But ever the trooper, Cathy came through, and how! Radiant, with a twinkle in her eye and skip in her step (at least at the beginning of our shoot), Cathy proved once again that she is the consummate professional.
The opera coat lined and hemmed, fashion accessories at the ready (including a beautiful vintage hat -- a gift from an MPB reader!), we set out on this resplendent April morning.
As always, I hope you enjoy our photo shoot. I know you'll be sensitive to Cathy -- who does seem more prickly these days -- and avoid the word "hilarious" when describing her delicate condition. She doesn't see the humor in it. Especially as she begins to resemble a late-August heirloom tomato.
As always, to see these photos full-size, please click on any image and in Picasa, choose the album name, and then, in the upper left hand corner, "Slideshow." Or something like that.
Honestly, readers, don't you think pregnancy brings out a special loveliness in our young(ish) model?
56 comments:
As usual, I LOVE your photoshoots, and am trying really hard not to use the word hilarious - nothing to do with Cathy's 'situation' of course, but your photoshoots always make me giggle.
The outfit is FABULOUS!!! After your posts about your pattern I found myself an amazing vintage house-coat pattern and I am hanging out for it to arrive so I can make something divine to wear this winter here in Australia.
Please pass on my love and best wishes for the upcoming event to Cathy.

Wow! What a lovely chic outfit she is wearing? This is such an elegant outfit for an expectant mother.
Do we know who the father is? She didn't bring a little souvenir back from an overseas holdiday. Did she? Or maybe latin?
Josette I LOVE the opera coat ... it is absolutely fabulous. Watching you sew it, I realised that if you are sewing things yourself, you are not restricted by the fabrics garments are normally made of. I can use a light(ish) cotton and make myself a coat that I can wear even in the tropics (in the cooler months) :-) Okay, not the me right now, but the me in a years time when I have more sewing skills.

It feels like Christmas when there's a new photo shoot! Thank you for the pleasure of viewing Cathy's latest look, and anticipating the blessed event. Well done!

The outfit is fabulous and that opera coat will go on looking good even when Cathy is in the last stage where one seems to have morphed into a whale. The girl has great style (or gets great style advice?)

Hilarious is not a word that comes to mind. 'Lovely' is a word that does. With that special glow...and with a fabulous wardrobe. That opera coat is to die for!!!
ReplyDelete Cathy, as usual, looks fabulous...the maternity look suits her; sans the cigarette of course :(
I hope Cathy is thinking post baby (babies) fashion; we all expect nothing but pure fabulousness from her as a new mother. I recently saw a lovely vintage bath apron pattern on Etsy and totally imagined Cathy bathing her new born wearing such a garment.- SondraGApril 16, 2012 at 7:51 AM
I'm surprised Cathy can get through her day in those heels. You may need to take her shopping for something more comfortable.
Love the smock and coat! - Andrea CornellApril 16, 2012 at 9:23 AM
I love the opera coat! Really stylish and elegant!
ReplyDelete - VictoriaRApril 16, 2012 at 10:22 AM
Great pictures. I was wondering about the father. I hope he will be able to celebrate the birth! You really must get her to stop smoking.
ReplyDelete Beautiful!!!! The coat really is lovely. And, as always, Cathy carries herself with poise.
Will there be clothes for baby at some point?- RobertaApril 16, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Wow! What a great outfit! The colors work together so beautifully. I agree with Mainelydad. You took a frumpy, muu-muu-type house coat and made it look absolutely fah-bulous, dah-ling. I'm also amazed at how quickly you made the entire ensemble. I give Cathy credit for struttin' her stuff in those heels. What a gal! The photo shoot is also really beautiful, with the sunshine, flowers and asbestos warnings. Well done! I really do hope Cathy can ditch the ciggy habit.

I wish we all lived closer and could pile into Cathey's apt for a baby shower. I have some cute things in mind for the little bundle!! Yes dear Cathey. Please put the cig down. If nothing else it will ruin that Pond's complexion fo your's.

After almost a year of speculation about a new search engine emerging from Silicon Valley, Cuil (pronounced "Cool") arrived with some big claims - more relevant search and a greater number of web pages indexed than larger more established rivals. But it has met early criticism.
The new technology has been launched with $25 Million of venture capital by husband-and-wife team Tom Costello - Cuil's CEO - and Anna Patterson, an ex-Google architect, along with Russell Power - also an a ex-Google developer.
Cuil launched on Sunday claiming to index over a 120bn web pages - a bigger pool of potential sources than most other search engines - and to also offer more relevant search than Google.
Users of the new site will see results displayed in a way they may not be used to. Instead of lists of links Cuil offers two or three columns of results with images pulled in alongside the text.
A tabbed home page breaks out the search term into a series of sub-categories.
Cuil also offers users the option of refining search through an explore "by category" box. This works by recording, along with the keyword, all the other information listed on a web page to build up a detailed contextual picture that allows it to rank pages based on relevance.
Such was the excitement and early buzz about the site that it was brought down by the vast number of people attempting to pay with it yesterday. However, it was soon back up and running.
But is all the hype surrounding the launch justified?
According to Webware, because the site is designed to run as a series of parallel search sub-categories, yesterday's traffic spike didn't just take the site down but also affected the results that were being generated. Cue much early criticism.
CNET News' Rafe Needleman and Charles Cooper reviewed the site in a video, but they weren't too complementary about the service - "an unsatisfying experience" Needleman says.
TechCrunch also sounded a note of caution.
While saying its tests found it to be an excellent engine, Michael Arrington wrote that Google beats it hands down.
"[I]t doesn't appear to have the depth of results that Google has, despite their claims. And the results are not nearly as relevant."
A quick test by MediaGuardian.co.uk found similar results.
A search for "Prince Harry" in Cuil generated 1,102,578 results. A similar search on Google brought 2,340,000.
The rub would be if the Cuil results were offering a clearer route to understanding the world around Prince Harry - but it doesn't do that.
Google's first returned results are his Wikipedia.org entry, a personal profile on Princeofwales.gov.uk and then a series of links to related news stories.
Cuil's results are more confusing, offering contextual links to categories about cities in Lesotho and a prominent link to a second Wikipedia.org page that contains little information about the prince.
A final note of caution: CrunchGear warns users to watch out how you type the site's name, swapping the "i" and the "l" it says can get you to the kind of site you really shouldn't look at in the office.
So what we have is an interesting new site that is all of two days old. What it really needs now is time to bed-in so the developers have the chance to iron out the bugs in the system - so that it can have a concerted bash at justifying the hype.

Boycott Canadian Seafood to Save Seals!
On average, sealers make less than 5 percent of their income from killing seals. So what brings in the other 95 percent? Seafood.
Here is how your boycott of Canadian seafood can help:
Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans says it will shut down the commercial seal slaughter when Canada's fishing industry asks it to do so—and since more than 60 percent of Canadian seafood exports go to the United States each year, this gives us a lever.
Through the boycott of Canadian seafood we can send a clear message: If Canada's fishing industry would like open access to our U.S. market, it needs to stop the commercial seal slaughter for good.

Joey Votto Bobblehead
Last year's National League MVP, Joey Votto made his major league debut with the Reds on September 4, 2007 against the New York Mets. He pinch hit and struck out, but that wasn't a sign of things to come. Votto has become one of Cincinnati's most disciplined and consistent hitters. He was second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2008, losing out to Chicago's Geovany Soto. This particular bobblehead is one of a series of four that the Reds released in 2009. The first 30,000 fans to show up on Saturday May 9th to watch the Reds take on the Cardinals were fortunate enough to take one of these home. Unfortunately, if they stuck around for the complete game, Cincinnati fans would have left heartbroken watching the Reds lose to the Cards in 10. Shouldn't have that problem now that Pujols left St. Louis! Woo-Hoo!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources

- - clown
clown I have a mating pair of nemo :) clowns in my 90 gal tank that I have just started up. now the mating pair have been in this tank for about 4 years. I bought the tank from someone. I also have a nemo clown in my 75 gal reef tank, but I feel I have to many fish in that tank. to much waist. so I would like to move the single nemo clown into the 90 gal tank. Also the 90 gal tank only has one anenomy. the mating pair love to play in it. it is not very large What do you think? Will they all me happy? Will all 3 use the anenomy? Will the mating pair still mate? Roger |
A mating pair will obviously defend the anemone as their territory. A 90 gallons will however allow the single clown to escape the aggression if ever it erupts. Remember, a pair will obviously treat an anemone as their home and territory so it is not possible that three of them will live together in an anemone. Sounds like your clowns are Amphiprion ocellaris. |
In the wild many clowns will reside in the same anemone. Luck be on your side.... I wouldn't recomend it, but like anything within the hobby it might just work. I've seen many a single clown kill any other clown introduced into it's 200g tank, but then again I knew one guy with 4 adult occellaris or false percs, not "nemos". |
Thanks for your info I put Nemo because I don't know what ones they are occellaris or false percs. I know one has a thinker strip then the other but I can't tell the difference. Roger |
what if I was to add a second anenomy into the tank so they both had there own home? |
My 2 maroons claim every (3) anemone in my tank as their own. Lucky they are a pair. So that might not be the end all answer. I'd suggest if you really want to try it to be ready to net the new comer out. |
My 2 yellow striped claim the same one, but I think, they became a pair now. |
I would say as caferacermike says. Just be ready to backup & get the guy out. It could go great though. Getting another anemone doesn't mean it will host with it. Also they'll host with some corals. I have a tomato clown that hosted with a trachyphyllia geoffrey brain for a couple of weeks, but now has been hosting candy cane colony for a while now. |

Tough Questions for Israel and Its Supporters
from Bill Warner's Political Islam
October 28, 2009
When America entered the war in Vietnam, Ho Chi Min said that it would be a long war and that the communists would win by using propaganda in the media and the universities. He was correct.
It is time to take stock in the war between Israelis and the Palestinians and deal with some forbidden subjects. Israel is losing the propaganda war, hasbarah, and for a very good reason.
Israel is not in the hasbarah game, unless one counts belated responses to the Palestinians' propaganda offensives. Pierre Rehov, a Moroccan French Jew, is a documentary filmmaker. He claims that the Palestinians have made over 50 propaganda movies, while Israel has done only 8. Of those eight, Mr. Rehov made six.
Why don't Jews and Israel want to deal with propaganda? Simple. It would mean talking about Islam. Jews and Israel must face the facts that the Koran and the Sunna (the actions and words of Mohammed) are filled with invectives against the Jews. At first the words were complimentary, but when the Jews of Medina rejected Mohammed as a prophet they were all enslaved, exiled, murdered and robbed—all acts of jihad. These were not historical acts, but perfect examples of Islamic action towards Jews—models prescribed for Muslims to follow up to the present time. To illustrate the severity of this predicament, statistically speaking, in the Koran of Medina 10.6% of the text is devoted to Jew hatred, whereas, only 6.8% of Mein Kampf is devoted to Jew hatred.
The language and actions of Palestinians and all Muslims in general are directly approved by Islamic political theological doctrine. Not only the language, but also policy is set by the Islamic political doctrine. To repeat: political doctrine—a political theological doctrine of jihad against all kafirs.
Yet, it seems until now that both Jews and Israel choose annihilation over talking about Islam. It is simply not an acceptable subject matter. Political correctness prevails over survival.
Unfortunately, these are suicidal choices. It is obvious that the ADL and the Jewish Federations for example, are only two Jewish organizations that have corporate polices of not discussing Islamic political ideology relating to the so called "Israeli / Palestinian conflict".
The ADL will admit that there are a "few" radical Muslims, and would gladly argue in public that except for a few Muslim extremists, Islam is not the problem. ADL is the first to argue that Jews and Christians have their share of crazies and they are no different from the Muslims. This is the ultimate multiculturalist view, which may well lead to a disaster for Israel and aid to the demise of Western civilization.
Since a propaganda war is about the use of intelligence, one would think that the Israelis would be the world's best and the Muslims would be the worst. Look at Nobel prizes, especially in the sciences. Israelis win them by the handful compared to the Arab world. But in the hasbarah, public relations, the Israelis are lazy fools and the Palestinians are industrious geniuses.
Israeli government officials who will comment off the record say that as a government, Israel cannot launch a propaganda war over Islam.
And, if Israel were to launch an ideological war, who would be the target audience? The ultimate target would be the secular and liberal Jews of America and Israel, who are the near enemy. If you can launch a hasbarah campaign that would open their eyes, enough of the world would tag along.
Otherwise, if the Israelis continue to think that they can keep scoring military victories and by that win this ideological war, they are fools and worse. America won the Tet offensive on the battlefield, but lost the propaganda war in the media and the universities, exactly as Ho Chi Min predicted.
As a brilliant example of ideological war, revisit Netanyahu's UN speech on September 24, 2009. He laid out the civilizational differences between Holocaust deniers and Israel. The same arguments about civilization should apply to the war between the Palestinians and Jews in Israel. This is because the Israel/Palestinian conflict is no different than the jihad in Kashmir, India, the Philippines, or in dozens of fronts in Africa.
Now, which one of the two maintains a stronger position—peace or victory? Today Israel desires for peace and the Palestinians insist on victory. Guess who wins? Peace is for losers. Regrettably, Israelis and American Jews are choosing to be the losers. The consequences however are too dire; ultimately, Israel may get their peace, but it may be the peace after jihad's victory.
Ironically, Israelis and Jews abroad are not the only ones in a state of denial about Islamic politics; they just happen to be at the frontline. President Bush demonstrated after 9/11 that he too had no clue how to fight this Islamic ideological war. Instead of using military force against our enemies, he and his successor– President Obama should have declared ideological war against our true enemy—political Islam.
They seem to lose their war and so will Israel unless some tough questions are faced and actions are taken.

Knowledge transfer and innovation among attractions

Studies of knowledge transfer and the diffusion of innovations in tourism have largely ignored the attraction sector. This study examines the level and form of knowledge transfer amongst attractions in Cornwall (UK), paying particular attention to the significance of spatial clustering and product similarity. It is based on in-depth interviews with tourist attraction managers and key informants in two contrasting spatial clusters. The findings demonstrate that spatial proximity, product similarity and market similarity have positive impacts on knowledge transfers and innovation spillovers, at both the local and the regional scales. They also show that the influences of product similarity and spatial proximity are closely related, but that the first of these is generally more influential at both the local and particularly, the regional scale. The paper also identifies some of the sources, mechanisms, channels and outcomes of knowledge transfer.
