in America. They sanctioned groups of riders from the same area that rode together as clubs. Some wore complete
give out awards for the best dressed clubs. This was the start of the motorcycle clubs patches.
During an event in Hollister, California in 1947, an exaggerated news story that was later made into a movie called "The
law-abiding citizens and only "1%" are outlaws. This then began what today is known as 1%'ers. These clubs were then
banned from all AMA events and functions.
In order to designate themselves as outside the rules of the AMA to all other clubs, the 1%'ers cut their club patches
into 3 separate pieces. The top rocker identified the club name, the center identified the emblem or crest of the club,
and the bottom rocker identified the city, town, or geographical location from which the club was located.
The term "colors" is used in referring to a motorcycle club's patch setup. Rockers on top and bottom, patch in the
center. Because all three parts are separate, the term three-piece-patch is used.
Motorcycle clubs differ from motorcycling organizations in that they have a probationary "Prospecting" time required
before the club members decide whether the individual (Prospect) will be accepted into the group and allowed to wear,
or to "Fly" the colors of the club. A separate "cube" with the letters "MC" on it is designed to clarify and distinguish them
as a club and not an organization.
1. A one-piece patch typically signifies a family club, riding club, AMA- sanctioned motorcycle club or political
action/biker rights organization. Some require little more than filling out an application (which is actually a release of
liability) and mailing a check.
2. A 2-Piece patch has many different meanings and variations as long as it's done with "respect" to other clubs. A two-
piece patch may signify a motorcycle club in transition, awaiting approval from the dominant club(s) to become a three-
piece patch. These clubs are sometimes, but not always, in the process of becoming an associate or support club. The
hierarchy and traditions in the MC community are complex but not without purpose. They are valuable for maintaining
order and avoiding trouble.
3. The 3-Piece patch normally identifies the club as a traditional motorcycle club(MC). A three-piece patch signifies that
the club is not sanctioned by the AMA, but not necessarily a 1% club. With very few exceptions, the club has been
approved by the dominant club in the state or area.
The three- piece patch is awarded in three parts as a prospective member earns the privilege to wear the full patch. A
"hangaround" is someone who is eligible for membership and has been invited to attend club events and runs, but
wears no part of the patch. If he is sponsored by a full member and approved by the club members he may wear the of
the members, he is allowed to have the top rocker and the "center patch" or club insignia. His colors are then complete
and he is considered to be a full member or "patch holder."
The traditional, or "old school," three-piece patch MC is one that adheres to established protocols, traditions and a
code of conduct. Motorcycle clubs differ from riding clubs or other types of motorcycle organizations as they traditionally
have "prospecting" time required before an individual is allowed to wear or "fly" the colors of the group. Most club colors
will also have MC printed on the rocker or as an additional small, rectangular patch
4. The diamond patch with the 1% or 13 worn with the 3-Piece Patch is a 1% or support club.
5. A "nomad" rocker is worn only when a member continues to live a lifestyle within the definition of the word "Nomad"...
A person with no fixed address.
6. Many national organizations in the 1980's joined their rockers in with their patch to avoid any designation or
confusion within the biking community. An example of this would be the "Harley Owners Group" (HOG) or the Blue
A Few Points to Remember!
Never, under any circumstances, ever touch a member's colors. Members take extreme pride in their colors and rightly
so. They have gone through a rigorous and time honored tradition to "earn" their colors and therefore they treat their
colors with the utmost respect and will protect and defend their colors at any and all costs.
Never ask a member to borrow or wear his jacket with their colors on it as you'll likely get a swat up the side of your
head. The only time a non-member is permitted to wear the club's colors (and this varies from club to club) is ONLY
when worn by a FEMALE passenger riding with the club member.
Always ask to take a photograph of a club member and/or of their bikes. If granted permission (and you usually will,
providing you asked first) NEVER take a picture of the license plate area.
In the event you do start taking pictures of a "biker" on the road, do not be offended if he "flips you the bird" or gives
you the "solo finger salute" as this is actually a common friendly gesture in the biker world.
MC members understand the meaning and importance of respect. They demand it for themselves and their club
brothers. They provide it to patch holders outside of their own club until given a reason to do otherwise. Regardless of
what's on your back, or how you got it, it is of the utmost importance to show an appropriate degree of respect to those
who earned their colors in the old-school tradition.

You have to take those numbers into context. Smoltz pitched in the steroid era, and his ERA+, which takes league numbers into context, was 125, 25 points above the average pitcher. Carlton pitched in a much more pitcher friendly time, and conversely his ERA+ was 117. Seaver's was 127. Koufax was 131. Bob Gibson was at 127. The two guys you compare in your other thread, Tommy John and Bert Blyleven, were at 111 and 118. Clemens and Martinez aren't even in the discussion, they were a tier above all the rest. At that point we're talking top 10 pitchers all time, and that's irrelevant to the conversation.
I'm far from a total stathead, but I think that's really important. The difference you perceive other who belongs in the Hall and who doesn't is clearly influenced by the fact that putting up 25 wins and a 2.50 ERA was seen much more often in the great pitchers of the 60s and 70s than in the 90s and 2000s.
Wrong, he was an awesome 3 games above .500 after 6 years with consistent high 3 ERA's.

Bayerischer Rundfunk Puts New Headend from Rohde & Schwarz into Operation
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), Bavaria's public broadcasting service, has gone on the air with the new R&S®AVHE100 headend from Rohde & Schwarz. BR is the first to use this headend for its DVB-T2 test operations. BR broadcasts one program in HD and several programs in SD in Munich and the surrounding area.
Experts from Rohde & Schwarz, BR and RBT (a technical consortium of the German public broadcasters) have already integrated the innovative system into their existing infrastructures. Sophisticated testing performed by BR and RBT is delivering proof of the stability and quality of the components. The R&S®AVHE100 takes a completely new approach to headend architecture. The professional R&S®AVS100 IT server in combination with proprietary software modules now makes it possible to integrate several previously separate functional units such as encoders, multiplexers or T2 gateways into a single, compact, 1 HU enclosure.
Bayerischer Rundfunk is also using the R&S®AVG100 audio/video gateway, which converts broadcast signals such as HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI into IP transport streams. Error control is improved due to the use of forward error correction in line with Pro-MPEG CoP#3/SMPTE 20/22.
With the introduction of the R&S®AVHE100, Rohde & Schwarz has succeeded in dramatically reducing signal delay between headend input and output. This lets BR viewers see their favorite team score goals faster than viewers of broadcasters using headends of other manufacturers.

You'd be hard pressed to find a company that talks more about its "people-centric" management culture than Barry-Wehmiller, a privately owned manufacturer of industrial equipment.
Barry-Wehmiller, which has $1.5 billion in annual sales, says it's all about fostering "personal growth" among its 7,000 employees, whom it calls "team members." Its "Guiding Principles of Leadership" include the imperative to "treat people superbly and compensate them fairly." (Italics are theirs.)
The chief yogi of this philosophy is Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Chapman, who gives talks about the "crisis of leadership" in corporate America, lamenting that "over 130 million people in our workforce go home every day feeling they work for a company that doesn't care about them." With a catch in his throat and possibly a tear in his eye, he told one audience in May about the "awesome responsibility" he shoulders for "the lives that are influenced by my leadership."
Hey, Bob? Tell it to the 111 steelworkers you're laying off in Southern California so you can transfer their jobs to a lower-paid workforce in Ohio (with the help of a "job creating" tax break from the latter state).

The American Pie Series
American Pie (April 4/12)
A fairly interminable teen comedy, American Pie follows four high school buddies (Jason Biggs' Jim, Chris Klein's Oz, Thomas Ian Nicholas' Kevin, and Eddie Kaye Thomas' Finch) as they vow to lose their respective virginities by prom night - with the film detailing the foursome's expectedly flamboyant and over-the-top efforts at accomplishing this feat. Filmmaker Paul Weitz, working from Adam Herz's screenplay, has infused American Pie with a low-key and surprisingly down-to-earth sensibility that proves instrumental at initially capturing the viewer's interest, with the perfectly watchable atmosphere heightened by the affable work from the various performers. (As likable as the four leads are, however, there's little doubt that the movie's MVP is Seann William Scott - with the actor's frequently hilarious turn as the raunchy Steve Stifler standing as a consistent highlight within the proceedings.) It's only as time progresses that American Pie slowly-but-surely morphs into a distressingly tedious piece of work, as Weitz's ongoing emphasis on aggressively unfunny comedic interludes - eg Jim's infamous encounter with a fresh apple pie - drains one's interest on an increasingly pronounced basis. The meandering midsection, which seems to consist primarily of time-wasting subplots (eg Finch's difficulties using public toilets), eventually leads to a hopelessly sentimental third act that is, to put it mildly, somewhat anticlimactic, which effectively (and ultimately) cements American Pie's place as a disappointingly tame and conventional bit of mainstream filmmaking.
out of
American Pie 2 is that rare comedy sequel that improves upon its predecessor immeasurably, which is - admittedly - not a difficult proposition when one considers the caliber of the original. The entire cast is reunited for this sequel, though most are relegated to supporting roles. The movie picks up a year after the events of the first one, with the gang going on summer holidays after their first year of college. Jim (Jason Biggs) and his buddies (played by Chris Klein, Seann William Scott, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Lawrence Pressman) decide to rent a cottage by the sea and subsequently party for the duration of their holiday. (Raunchy shenanigans, of course, ensue.) Like the first film, American Pie 2 is incredibly light on plot but heavy on isolated comedic set-pieces. And like the original, most attempts at humor fall completely flat; aside from one really hilarious bit involving Stifler's overly enthusiastic enjoyment of what he thinks is champagne being poured on his head, the movie never quite becomes the laugh riot it's desperately trying to be. While the plotless nature of the film does get a little tiresome after a while, the characters have become endearing enough that we're willing to overlook the lack of a cohesive storyline. Among the actors, Alyson Hannigan, as the sweet and naive yet curiously experienced Michelle, provides the film with some much needed humanity. She's certainly the most compelling character here, and it's easy enough to wish she were the focus of the film. But in all fairness, the rest of the actors are quite good in their roles (Shannon Elizabeth is thankfully offscreen for much of the movie) and Biggs once again proves he can play an effective everyman type. Though Scott's said he'll never do another American Pie movie, American Pie 2 ensures that the idea of further installments is no longer as objectionable as it once was.
American Wedding supposedly marks the end of the American Pie series, which is something of a shame given that each successive film seems to improve upon its predecessor. While American Wedding is essentially on the same level as the second one, it's certainly miles beyond the original - which was nothing short of an unfunny, downright strained mess. American Wedding opens with Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) getting engaged, much to the delight of Jim's dad (Eugene Levy). The essentially plotless film follows their attempts at organizing a wedding, while also putting up with Stifler (Seann William Scott) and his attempts at throwing a bachelor party for Jim. Unlike the first two films in this series, American Wedding is actually funny throughout - with at least one absolutely hilarious moment involving Stifler and his consumption of the very last thing one should eat. But like the original American Pie, American Wedding occasionally suffers from some sentimental moments that would feel more at home in an episode of Full House. There's no place for mawkishness in a film like this; such elements might have worked had the movie claimed to be a realistic portrayal of young adults, but when you have a character as outrageous as Stifler, that's clearly not the case. But primarily, the film sticks to the tried-and-true formula of gross-out gags and over-the-top shenanigans.
Though there are several references to previously established characters and Eugene Levy reprises his role as Jim's dad, Band Camp has virtually nothing to do with any of its three predecessors and instead comes off as a typically bawdy sex comedy geared solely towards teens. This time around, we meet Matt Stifler (Tad Hilgenbrink) - Steve Stifler's younger, hornier brother - as he unwillingly attends band camp after ruining his school's graduation ceremonies. Screenwriter Brad Riddell - making his debut - imbues Band Camp with virtually every cliche of the genre one could possibly imagine, including a melodramatic third act that finds Matt re-evaluating his bawdy ways after he double-crosses all his friends to prove that he's still cool. And while the movie does contain the same sort of gross humor that the series has become known for, very little of this stuff is actually funny (a problem that has a lot to do with the fact that the viewer doesn't actually care about any of these people). Hilgenbrink proves early on that he was clearly hired not for his acting abilities (which are virtually non-existent), but rather for his slight resemblance to Seann William Scott. And as effective as Levy is in his limited role, his presence simply isn't enough to disguise the film's status as a shoddy and blatant cash grab.
A typically worthless straight-to-video American Pie sequel, American Pie Presents The Naked Mile follows Erik Stifler (John White) as he's offered a weekend pass to do whatever he wants by his virginal girlfriend, Tracy (Jessy Schram) - with the story detailing the debauched shenanigans that ensue as Erik and his friends arrive at a nearby college campus just in time for the title event (in which various coeds run around wearing absolutely no clothes). It's clear that American Pie Presents The Naked Mile fares best in its relatively low-key opening half hour, as director Joe Nussbaum, working from a script by Erik Lindsay, emphasizes the appealingly sweet relationship between White and Schram's respective characters - to the extent that one can't help but wish that the entire film had been focused on their romantic exploits. The film instead, predictably, revolves primarily around the gross-out shenanigans of the central character and his one-dimensional cohorts, with Lindsay continually stressing a series of overlong, padded-out sequences that are neither entertaining nor funny. (There is, for example, a football game that seems to go on forever.) American Pie Presents The Naked Mile's latter half, as a result, moves along at a plodding pace that's compounded by an episodic structure, as the movie lurches from one ill-conceived set-piece to the next with little thought towards momentum or consistency - which inevitably does confirm the film's place as just another interminable waste of time designed to cash in on the original trilogy's success.
Beta House is so completely and utterly devoid of anything even resembling competence that even the most forgiving viewer will be forced to throw their hands up in frustration almost immediately, and it's ultimately difficult not to wonder just which demographic the film has been geared towards (semi-retarded college kids would be my best guess). The continued presence of Eugene Levy in these increasingly inconsequential films is nothing short of baffling, as it goes without saying that the actor deserves far, far better material than this. The storyline follows buddies Erik (John White), Bobby (Nic Nac), and Cooze (Jake Siegel) as they attempt to pledge the Beta House fraternity, with off-the-wall hijinks predictably ensuing as a rival frat challenges the Betas to a series of Greek games. Director Andrew Waller and screenwriter Erik Lindsay constantly (and consistently) aim Beta House squarely at the lowest common denominator, as the film possesses plenty of lewd elements designed to appeal to precisely the sort of drunken frat boys it exclusively portrays. The performances are uniformly unimpressive, although - on a perversely positive note - the film does manage to top its predecessors in terms of gross-out jokes and sequences. So there's that, at least.
no stars out of
American Pie Presents The Book of Love marks an obvious attempt to return to the series' high-school oriented roots, as the movie follows three horny teenagers (Bug Hall's Rob, Brandon Hardesty's Lube, and Kevin M. Horton's Nathan) as they doggedly attempt to lose their virginity over the course of a few particularly eventful weeks. Despite the best efforts of a game cast (and although it fares much, much better than its immediate predecessor), American Pie Presents The Book of Love primarily comes off as a typically low-rent and flat-out needless straight-to-video endeavor - with the pervasive lack of laughs ultimately exacerbating the film's myriad of problems. Screenwriter David H. Steinberg offers up eye-rollingly over-the-top comedic set-pieces that become more and more desperate as the movie unfolds (ie a character is raped by a moose), yet it's the absence of compelling characters and the almost uniformly hackneyed nature of the various storylines that inevitably cements American Pie Presents The Book of Love's undeniable downfall. In terms of the former, the protagonists are generally presented as one-dimensional sleazeballs whose ongoing exploits possess few elements designed to capture and sustain the viewer's interest (ie everything here, from Rob's desire to pursue a romantic relationship with his female best friend to Lube's efforts at bedding a classmate who's way out of his league, has been done many times over in other, better movies with far more skill and subtlety). The dearth of positive attributes subsequently ensures that American Pie Presents The Book of Love is unlikely to appeal to even the most ardent American Pie fan, and it's finally impossible not to view the continued existence of these movies as a shameless cash-grab by the studio.
The first true American Pie sequel since 2003's American Wedding, American Reunion follows Jim (Jason Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and the rest of the gang as they return to East Great Falls for their high school reunion - with the characters' exploits inevitably threatened by a whole raft of comedically-tinged problems and complications. There's little doubt that American Reunion has been designed to echo the original in both its execution and spirit, as the movie, for the most part, comes off as a companion piece that effectively bookends the entire series - with the novelty of the premise going a long way towards initially capturing one's interest. It's just as clear, however, that the film's incongruously languid pace stands as an almost insurmountable obstacle virtually from the get-go, as filmmakers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg have employed an episodic structure that becomes more and more problematic as the thin narrative unfolds - with the ongoing emphasis on subplots of a decidedly underwhelming nature (eg Jim's continuing efforts at resisting the advances of a sultry neighbor) compounding the movie's increasingly lackluster atmosphere. And although Hurwitz and Schlossberg have admittedly peppered the proceedings with a handful of hilarious gags (eg Stifler finally gets his revenge on Finch for sleeping with his mother), American Reunion, saddled with a hopelessly sentimental third act, ultimately establishes itself as an overlong and underdeveloped sequel that could only be loved by hardcore fans of the original film.

About Rex
"Due to a technical error, however, some customers whose devices were not infected by the malware experienced a temporary loss of service. As of 6 a.m. Pacific time today, all service was restored. We regret any inconvenience these customers experienced."
I have two sites through no-ip.com. One of which I rerouted through another service yesterday, the other is still hanging.
Here's how I see it:
If MS had been properly prepared they could have served this order, rerouted the service correctly, and did what they wanted to do with either (1) no one the wiser (or 2) getting praise for their action. Even though it's not their job to do this and I don't agree with it.
If they had done it correctly they could have possibly shut down some of these malware users. Instead they now know what's going on have moved on (as said by an earlier commenter).
But they weren't prepared. They screwed up royally and are paying for it. This 'reputation' everybody is talking about is tarnished yet some more (not that it matters with their history).
They'd do better to just release the service back to no-ip and just cut their loses. Admitting they screwed up might just earn them some favor in the public view.
So it's Communism for company's? Maybe we should create a new name for that.
I hate to say this but re-brand it for parents of teenagers and they've got a pretty good business model.
I'd buy two. It'd be nice to know what it is my kids are constantly deleting from their phones.
Am I wrong in seeing this as a communist point of view? He's wanting to abolish the concept of personal property.
Am I wildly off base?
DVDFAB (which you can still get), Plex, and a a house full of ROKU boxes. I'm slowly converting an entire bookshelf full of DVD's to instant access.
I'd love to support Kaleidescape if they had stuck to their guns, but their device is now crippled and pointless.
It's sad but I place my money on this being another one of those: "The lawyer took the opportunity to send out a letter and aggressively pursue rather than actually notifying the home company first". The lawyers at Pokemon probably just saw dollar signs like usual and went into attack mode without thinking (also like usual).
Now that it's making the new they're thinking "oh s**t, maybe we shouldn't have done this."
We'll probably hear later about how Pokemon quickly dropped the matter and states about how they encourage their fans to support their product.
"But what about the other situation where someone is about to post something that is going to make a lot of people miserable."
Then that leads to more people posting as they debate/argue over it. It's a win-win for Facebook.
Either way it's just another reason for me to stay away from that site.
As a school employee and a parent I'm on the fence about this. I wouldn't want my kids being shot at with a pellet gun while walking by someone's yard.
But... If they stayed to play then that would be their own stupidity and they'd get what they deserved. That's the kind of parent I am, if you continue to do something stupid then you live with the consequences.
The fact remains though that this was a police issue and had NOTHING to do with the school. They WAY over-stepped their bounds. If the police failed to act then it should have ended there.
Class action lawsuits will not disappear completely if people would not agree to TOS contracts forbidding them. Companies (smart companies, this may not include Sony) would catch on that including this bull was costing them money and customers and then they'd just concentrate on good service instead.
Playing games and having their PS3 is more important to most people. The toy they get to play with is more important than the possibly of getting to sue when everything goes south.
But sadly this won't happen. I never read TOS contracts so I can't blame anyone, but news articles like this alert myself and others to what Sony is trying to pull over on us. Most people will click "agree" and move on. I won't, I haven't bought a Sony product since my PS2 and I doubt I ever will again. There's too many reasons why to list here.
To everyone who's reading this story (on any news site, not just this one), you know what you're doing by agreeing to the terms and you know what the company's been capable of in the past so good luck.
I think that suing the fans is great! We should help Summit fight the idea that it's ok for a 106 year old man to sleep with a 16 year old high school girl.
Ok, my bias of how stupid Twilight really is aside:
I hope this kind of crap NEVER ends! It just means that smarter people who actually have good product value and are smart enough to not stab their fans will have all that much more "wiggle room" in the market and will be appreciated that much more.
So will they get Internet Tickets too?
My losses can't be measured in dollars. I've lost one relative to Alzheimer's and one to cancer. My fiance' lost her mother to cancer and father to heart disease (when she was only 13). My 8 year old daughter has suffered from type-1 diabetes since she was 5.
How many medicines and cures are being held up because of copyright bickering? I vaguely remember some articles on this site concerning that. I care not about the stealing of copyrighted material as much as copyright law being broken and holding up innovation.
"So if the boss of Sony committed ritual suicide then this would be forgiven?"
I won't be happy until the entire company falls on it's sword.
...Or at least the legal dept.
I guess if they believe that gold farming is funding terrorism then I'd understand it (but wouldn't that be homeland security?).
I will never understand how attaching things to other things getting passed through Congress (Both here, and whatever New Zealand uses) is legal.
Not "Twilight", you're thinking of "Dim", and I agree.
So, let me get this straight. After Anonymous's attacks on anyone cutting off wikileaks this company thinks it's a good idea to ban anything to do with it to PREVENT DDoS attacks????
Sounds like backwards thinking to me.
This is what it's like to have a cop as a friend or relative. It's great when you need them but you don't want to be on the wrong side. A little "wink-wink" and buy him/her a beer and you have paperwork rushed through, a ticket torn up, or an enemy picked up on suspicion. I'm not knocking it because I have those friends but it does go to show that the "Buddy System" is still around. I'm still not condoning it though.
Luckily technology and the internet brings it to light easier. This story is a great example.
This just has to be another pathetic attempt at publicity. No one can be this stupid.

This is my first post not counting my intro. I have been reading and learning for about 2 months now and finally signed up the other day.
Being in Boy Scouts we go places that trees are to far a part or we are not allow to use trees so I was inspired by the turtledog stand. I wanted a stand that was compact but still easy to setup.
So i thought how can I do this? My 1st attempt is below:
6 - 3/4" conduit pipes 4' long
6 - 1/2" conduit pipes 4' long
5' section 4" PVC
5' section 3" PVC
1 PVC coupler 4" -3"
various metal fittings u-fittings, swivels etc
para cord
cotter pins
So I drilled holes in the 1/2" conduit about 1/2 from top and then middle of 3/4" conduit. Insert 1 1/2" into 1 3/4" line up holes and insert cotter pin this pole is now 6' long. put 3 together and lash putting in fittings that you want.
Put PVC pipe together you get 10' length of PVC hang between tripods put on hammock.
TO pack up collapse poles into each other 3' long put both tripods into 3" PVC then put into 4" PVC now have a 5' PVC package that has my tripod stand in it.
It is heavy so there is no just carrying around but I can leave it in the car ready to go at anytime.
Please let me know what you think good or bad. It is a work in progress and other then 2 nights in the basement it has not been really field tested.
Pics......need to get better ones these are from a phone sorry
packed up looks like this:

Thanks for checking it out.

not tell us how we are supposed to react or predict how we will react ... and worse yet, tell an elected official how he should reacted based on polls that haven't been taken
This reaction, based on Nanos advising Harper to act swiftly on Lukiwski, to counter-act any potential damage to the Conservative brand:
"The prime minister needs to deal with this issue directly and try to put it behind him as soon as possible," Nanos said. "I think the prime minister has to personally say, 'I don't accept these comments, I repudiate them and it's not part of the party or the government or where its mind is at on a lot of these issues right now."
"If the Prime Minister is not forthright and he doesn't take things head on, I think the opposition is going to pounce. If he deals with this swiftly and directly, then there's not going to be a lot to poke at."
The Nanos recommendation is based on this:
Nanos said mainstream Canadians have been uncomfortable with social conservative attitudes on issues like sexual orientation.
Nanos also said that this issue wouldn't hurt the Conservatives with their base, but it could raise red flags with target voters. Our little BT friend, who immediately lumps Nanos into the communist conspiracy to usurp the Conservatives, fails to see the statements for what they are- good advice. All Nanos is saying here, based on his research, there is a latent unease with the Conservatives, this story feeds a negative impression, which could cost him with the electorate.
Funny, I don't remember any outrage when Nanos suggested possible Liberal erosion because of the abstaining strategy. No, then Nanos was bang on I'm sure, feel free to tell us "how we might react".
Anyways, in the end, Harper did nothing.

What You'll Get
Becoming an acrobat is a more poised method of defying gravity than riding on an astronaut's back or repeating everything Isaac Newton says in a falsetto voice. Soar stylishly with today's Groupon: for $37, you get a flying-trapeze class package at Emerald City Trapeze Arts (a $74 total value). The package includes:
- Two-hour flying-trapeze class (a $48 value)
- Waiver of the registration fee (a $26 value)<p>
Emerald City's instructors welcome aerial enthusiasts of all levels to experience the sky-splitting thrill of the flying trapeze. Expertly guided and safe trapeze adventures begin with a succinct stretching session before pupils develop balancing skills on a practice bar. From there, the basics of proper takeoffs, swinging, and body positioning are added to students' acrobatic tool belts. Leaping learners acquire skills at their own pace and obtain new techniques with ample demonstrations by Emerald City's circus-grade instructors. When ready, class-goers are able to swing through the arena and catch their teacher's hands in midair—proving to formerly doubting third-grade gym teachers that they can, in fact, trapeze with ease. With classes scheduled every day of the week, aspiring acrobats can fly in on their own time and experience the blissful perspective of no longer being glued to the surly bonds of the earth.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Jun 21, 2012. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person, may buy multiple as gifts. New clients only. 48hr cancellation notice required.

About Emerald City Trapeze Arts
Once upon a time, the Canal Boiler Works building in SODO housed Seattle's blacksmiths, who spent their days harnessing the power of fire and steel. Today, the building is still around, but its tenants tap into a different kind of power. Beneath a wood-beam ceiling, the aerialists of Emerald City Trapeze Arts fly through a 20,000 square foot studio, learning classic circus and trapeze skills from instructors with decades of experience. During aerial arts classes, students engage with silks, hoops, and ropes suspended in midair, mastering artful, fluid motions while simultaneously boosting their strength and coordination. Trapeze classes take things even higher; the studio's full-sized trapeze rig towers 30 feet in the air, recreating the thrills of big-top flips for beginners and seasoned aerialists alike. The space also invites students to try their hands at several other classic apparatus, including Trampoline and Cyr Wheel.
Although the air is their natural habitat, Emerald City Trapeze Arts' instructors teach earthbound classes, as well. Tumbling classes unlock youngsters' inner acrobats with cartwheels and somersaults, while pole fitness classes introduce the tricks and transitions needed to develop a full dance routine.

Pirelli wants long-term F1 deal
Paul Hembery, Pirelli's F1 boss, has revealed the Italian tyre supplier is pushing for a longer-term contract beyond 2013.
Recently, the FIA has been tendering is contracts with F1's sole tyre suppliers on a three-year basis, and Pirelli is now approaching the end of its first run.
Hembery said Pirelli wants to stay on the grid beyond 2013, but is pushing for an even longer contract than three years.
"We will know soon if we get a new contract as the sole supplier in formula one," he is quoted by the German-language Speed Week.
"We would prefer a long term contract, say five years," he added, referring to the world of Nascar racing, where Goodyear's latest contract is for five years.
Asked when Pirelli needs an answer from F1 about the future, Hembery smiled: "Yesterday, ideally.
"Seriously, we have 600 professionals at work, and so if we're no longer in F1, then we have to see how we can use them elsewhere.
"Unlike last time, we don't want the decision in June or July -- it's just too late," said the Briton.
Complicating the matter further, added Hembery, is the switch to turbo V6 power for 2014.
"It is expected that the turbos will develop more torque, which influences the traction of the corners," he said.
"More traction means more temperature, and we also need to know what to expect in terms of top speed so that we don't have problems with the integrity."
After a sneak peak of Pirelli's 2013 tyres in Brazil late last season, the F1 field got their first real taste of this year's rubber at Jerez on Tuesday, as the official pre-season test period began.
Red Bull's Mark Webber - and many other drivers - complained about high wear, according to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
"You could see it with the naked eye, so sudden was the loss of grip," said the Australian.
"The difference between a new and an old tyre was very big. After a few laps, the times were falling off dramatically."
Webber added: "But Jerez is a bit different. You can have problems here that you don't have somewhere else."
Romain Grosjean agreed: "The asphalt here is very rough and the layout is hard on the tyres, and the temperatures are also low."

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

Sam26888 needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 43 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
I am the creator of iAlarm and am looking to update the application icon with a newer look.
My original icon intended to symbolize the yin and the yang of day and night. I still like that idea but I think I need the icon to represent more of a clock feel.
I am looking to target the general consumer market of customers looking to download an alarm clock application from the Mac App Store.
I am looking for an icon that will catch someones eye and clearly communicate that this is an alarm clock application. This icon will sit in the dock of OS X so it will need to have transparent edges and I'll need a version to put on the web up to 512x512
I would like to integrate the concept of the sun and the moon if possible.
My marketing pitch is currently:
Wake up to your sytle. Your news, your music, your way. iAlarm for the Mac.

These double-baked crisp biscotti are crammed with figs and and nuts, and are made lighter without butter. They're best enjoyed with a strong coffee or dipped in some vanilla ice cream for a sweet treat.–Isidora Popovic
LC Jumble of Goodness Note
We quite like the contrast between the lovely lemon-inflected biscotti dough and the jumbled tastes and textures of nuts and dried fruits. We think you'll agree. Be sure to chop the stir-ins so they're not too large and not too small but rather a pleasing in-between. This ensures that the dough remains workable and the flavor of each ingredient stays quite distinct.
Fig, Apricot, and Nut Biscotti
- Quick Glance
- Makes about 24
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup pistachio kernels, left whole
- 1/4 cup shelled hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 4 dried apricots, cut into small pieces
- 4 dried figs, cut into small pieces
- Freshly grated zest of 1 small unwaxed lemon
- 1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and sugar into a large bowl. Make a well, add the eggs, and lightly beat. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the eggs and stir just until you get a somewhat sticky, dough-like mixture. Stir in the pistachios, hazelnuts, raisins, apricots, figs, and lemon zest.
- 3. Lightly wet your hands with cool water and bring the dough together to a ball. Transfer the dough to 1 of the baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Lightly dampen your hands with water again and pat the dough into a log, flattening it slightly so that it is about 3 inches wide. (You can use a sheet of parchment paper to help you shape the sticky dough.)
- 4. Bake for 24 to 30 minutes, until when you press very lightly on top and it springs back. If it feels firm, leave it in the oven for a few more minutes. Let the block of biscotti cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- 5. Transfer the biscotti to a cutting board and, using a large, serrated bread knife, slice it into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices on their side on the baking sheet and return to the hot oven until pale gold, turning them halfway through cooking, about 10 minutes total. The biscotti should appear dry; if not, leave them in the oven for a couple more minutes on each side. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Name: Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus)
Status – Critically Endangered (CR)
Length – up to 100 cm
Height – up to 50 cm
Weight – up to 15 kg
Interesting fact:
The world's most threatened species of cat, this elegant looking lynx is a very specialised predator with rabbits accounting for 80-100% of its diet!
Where am I found?
This magnificent cat once used to roam through Spain, Portugal and the south of France. The Iberian lynx can now only be found in a few areas in Spain where it prefers to live and hunt in Mediterranean woodland and scrub-like habitat.
What do I eat?
The preferred prey of the Iberian lynx is the rabbit, which forms 80 to 100% of its diet. It will occasionally take rodents, hares, partridges, ducks, geese and small deer, but these do not form an important part of the diet.
How do I live?
A nocturnal species, the secretive Iberian lynx is generally active at night, emerging from its daytime shelter at twilight. Both the male and the female Iberian lynx are territorial, with male territories overlapping those of several females. The mating season peaks in January and February, and the female gives birth to between one and four kittens around two months later. The young are cared for by the female in a lair, which may be located under a thicket or in a hollow tree. Weaning occurs at around eight months old but the juveniles stay in their natal territory until they are around 20 months old.
Why am I threatened?
There are now thought to be less than 200 Iberian lynx left in the wild, with habitat loss being one of the main threats to this species. Much of its habitat has been converted for agriculture and development, such as dams and highways. The Iberian lynx's main prey, the rabbit, has also dramatically decreased in number due to hunting and the introduction of disease such as myxomatosis and Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease. Illegal hunting is also a problem, with some lynx being accidentally caught in rabbit traps.

The Pueblo Indians give much attention to food, especially on Feast Days, when they must feed their families, a circle of friends and even casual visitors. Field parties for planting or harvesting, kiva parties, a Kachina or Corn Dance, an initiation or wedding, the pueblo's Saint's Day - all require elaborate food preparation. In the Pueblo world, the households of men engaged in any ceremonial activity are the busiest, and at the conclusion of the feast, leftovers are distributed and carried home. Pueblo hospitality is identified, as everywhere, with food; under no circumstances may one refuse food or, asking for it, be refused. To a caller from the vicinity, watermelon, pinon, or peaches will be offered, and it is proper to eat before announcing the reason for the visit. For visitors from far away, whenever they arrive, a regular meal will be served. To be stingy with food is unacceptable. Visitors on Feast Days might be offered these special cookies, but we doubt there are ever any leftovers to be carried home. Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, cream 2/3 cup sugar and lard. Add egg and blend thoroughly. Stir in flour, baking powder, vanilla, and anise seed, blending thoroughly. Gradually add milk until a stiff dough is formed. Mix in the pinon nuts. Roll dough out on a lightly floured board to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch cookies with cookie cutter. Sprinkle tops with mixture of the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Bake cookies on a well-greased baking sheet for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a rack.

Jammie Thomas Refuses To Make RIAA Propaganda In Exchange For Reduced Payment
from the laughable-propaganda dept
Given that experience, it seems a bit bizarre that the RIAA has suggested that it would accept a lower payment than the $222,000 verdict (the one of a few verdicts that is now the final verdict) requires if Jammie Thomas were to do the same sort of propaganda. She, however, has made it clear that she has no interest in doing that. As she told Dave Kravets at Wired:
However, the 36-year-old mother of four and the nation's first file-sharer to challenge a Recording Industry Association of America lawsuit, said she would rather go bankrupt.Of course, bankruptcy declared after the court ruling may not be that helpful, as I don't think she can get out from the amount owed that way (a bankruptcy lawyer recently explained that it is possible, in some situations, to get out of such rewards by declaring bankruptcy before the case is final, but once it's final... not so much). Of course, the RIAA isn't that interested in the money anyway. The focus here has always been on making "an example" of Jammie Thomas and others, in the mistaken belief that it would scare people away from file sharing. That, obviously, would be the same goal of any propaganda video, and it would almost certainly fail.
"I'm not doing it," the Minnesota woman said in a telephone interview today.
The issue is that the RIAA and other maximalists still think this is an "education" issue, rather than an issue about how people want to access and share content. The "education" doesn't stop infringement, and it never has. Putting someone that was put through the wringer by the RIAA legal machine in front of a camera would just be even more ridiculous, because pretty much everyone would realize that a forced statement was not sincere, and that propaganda made in response to a required payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars really would just do more to highlight what an incredible bully the RIAA really is.
