Pantex engineers Mitchell Jefferis, from left, and Halianne Crawford help camper Peter Keller with a project at the West Texas A&M University Summer Engineering Camp. Engineers from Pantex are volunteering this week to help out at the camp, which is in its fourth year and hosts students as young as 14 who are interested in engineering.
LANL's newest facility, the Radiological Laboratory Utility Office Building (RLUOB), is the first to achieve both the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) status and LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
At more than 200,000 square feet, this building is the only radiological facility within the Department of Energy to have attained LEED Gold, which contributes to NNSA's achievement towards the high performance sustainable building goals.
The facility contains laboratories for analytical chemistry and materials characterization of special nuclear material, along with space for offices, training and emergency operations. Its multi-functional purpose makes RLUOB a unique project for which LEED certification was sought.

Work by 90-year-old photographer Ed Westcott, the federal government's photographer for Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project, can be seen throughout the walls of Y-12 National Security Complex buildings and in other locations in Oak Ridge. His work is also featured in A Nuclear Family: Y-12 National Security Complex miniseries which aired on East Tennessee PBS.
During the 1940s, Westcott was charged not only with capturing images of government work under way but also with documenting the daily lives of Oak Ridge's residents. A 20-ft-high by 50-ft-wide mural of a photograph commonly called "Shift Change" covers part of the north wall of Y-12's cafeteria in Jack Case Center.

Today, the MOX project at the Savannah River Site reached 10 million safe working hours – representative of nearly two years of continuous work during heavy construction without a lost workday.
"The first construction project of its kind in the United States, the MOX project is being executed with precision and safety because of the shared commitment between everyone involved to successfully completing the mission while making safety the first priority," said Clay Ramsey, NNSA federal project director. "To reach this milestone during such a heightened level of construction is a remarkable achievement."

The May 2012 NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here.
The quarterly summary prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world including, the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year.
The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering (ST&E) facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.
The NNSA 2012 Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program Symposium was held today in Washington, DC. The event, "Discovery and Innovation for National Security," featured keynote presentations by Dr. Charles Shank, inventor of the DFB laser and former Director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Dr. Norman Augustine, retired Chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Thomas Kalil, Deputy Director for Policy for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), discussed the White House priorities for science, technology, and Innovation. Neile Miller, Principal Deputy Administrator for NNSA, provided a DOE/NNSA perspective of the NNSA TriLab LDRD program.
Red Storm, a massively parallel processing supercomputer, was recently decommissioned at Sandia National Laboratories. Red Storm was part of NNSA's Advanced Simulation & Computing (ASC) supercomputer program and helped monopolize world computing records.
Red Storm was designed by Sandia and Cray, Inc., to address the highly complex nuclear weapons stockpile computing problems. Red Storm allowed modeling and simulation of complex problems in nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship that were thought impractical, if not impossible.
Red Storm was used to run simulations during Operation Burnt Frost, a U.S. military operation, to intercept and destroy a nonfunctioning U.S. satellite before it could reenter the atmosphere and release its potentially toxic fuel supply.

I don't know if there are any Community fans here, or if anyone here besides me has even seen it, but I myself am a huuuuge fan of the show. It's the best thing I've ever seen on TV and a lot of people agree with me, but for some silly reason NBC has seen fit to remove it from their mid-season schedule.
Community is just about the smartest, funniest and most innovative sitcom on TV right now. There's nothing like it and it's being pushed aside for the likes of Whitney, a show that in this day and age still uses a flipping laugh track and is also being overshadowed by the juggernaut that is The Big Bang Theory, which I believe currently airs at the same time on another channel.
The official line is that the show will return at some point next year to complete the third season, but then there is a strong possibility that NBC will not pick it up for a fourth (the show is formatted for four seasons, being set at a community college).
I'm not trying to convert anyone into fans, although if you want to give it a watch, then great, I hope you love it! Really, all I'm asking is that you take a few seconds to sign this petition to save a show much loved by its fans who want nothing more than to see it run its four season course to a fitting end: http://www.save-community.com/
If you do, there's a silly picture of me wearing a fake goatee in it for you...

Cat Mummy in Cartonnage
Mummies of animals, the most numerous type of artifact from ancient Egypt, number in the millions. The animals mummified represented a god or goddess, such as the cat belonging to the goddess Bastet or the ibis belonging to the god Thoth. Some animal mummies contained a papyrus with a request to the god written on it. Animals were mummified using the same techniques as with humans.

Save time when developing complicated XQuery expressions by using oXygen XQuery debugger. oXygen can debug and profile expressions run over the MarkLogic XML database, or using the Saxon EE processors.
oXygen provides a special layout when entering in debugging mode to show the XML source (optional) and the XQuery documents side by side and to show also the result and special XQuery debugging views and toolbars. The perspective allows you to use the common XML and XQuery editor features.
The XQuery debugger support is based on the Saxon EE XQuery processor which is bundled with oXygen.
oXygen provides all the usual debugging capabilities: step into, step over, step out, run, run to cursor, run to end, pause, stop. The current XML and XQuery nodes reached by the debugging process are shown (see the right part in the image that follows) with the following details: an arrow icon to show the action performed on it (entering/leaving), the name, the resource and the line. By clicking the arrow the text sections corresponding to the XML and XQuery nodes are highlighted in the editor.
Allows you to easily find out what element from the XQuery document generated a section of the output. For this you just have to click on the Output text view. The editor will highlight the line in the XQuery document that generated the output.
The following image shows the right part of the debugging perspective, with the XQuery source in the left and the output in the right. The "<name>J. D. Salinger</name>" fragment of the output was generated by the highlighted name element of the input XQuery file.
Breakpoints can be set on the XQuery document used in the transformation. The breakpoints appear in the left bar of the XQuery editor, as a red dot, and they can be created easily by using the shortcut key or by clicking the breakpoints area.
A condition can be attached to a breakpoint set in the Debugger perspective so that processing stops only if the condition is true.
The current stack containing XQuery instructions can be inspected at any time during the debugging process. The Stack view shows the sequence of XQuery instructions currently executed by the debugger.
Entering and leaving node events are logged and made available in a view to show the history of the processor execution. You can click the entries in the list to see the corresponding instructions highlighted in the editor associated with the XQuery file where the instruction is defined.
It is possible to save the element trace obtained from a debug session as XML. This permits comparing different debug runs.
The current context node value or the values of variables that are evaluated to tree fragment or list of nodes are presented in tree views, thus giving access to the whole variable content. This is useful especially in debugging XQuery transformations that keep intermediary results in variables.
The user can easily locate the nodes from the tree by simply clicking on them: the editor will select the corresponding XQuery instruction.
The debugger lists all XQuery variables and parameters that are visible in the current XQuery context together with their scope and actual value. The view is updated as the XQuery processor changes the context during the transformation.
The output is dynamically presented as it is generated by the XQuery transformation process. The user can examine directly the output as XML source.
oXygen has a powerful transformation support based on reusable scenarios. The same scenarios can be used for debugging. The XQuery Debugger will be initialized with the information from the XQuery scenario (source document location, transformation parameters) when the Debug scenario action is executed. This allows to easily manage and trigger different debugging sessions.
You can profile your XQuery queries to identify the performance issues using two comprehensive data views of the activated templates: an Invocation Tree view and a Hotspots view. The profiling information can be saved to XML or HTML formats.
Profiling is available only for the Saxon XQuery processor which is bundled with oXygen.
Invocation Tree View
Using the Invocation Tree view, also named a call tree, you can examine how XQuery instructions are processed in a top down manner. The profiling result shows the duration time for each of the style-instruction including the time needed for its children and then, when an instruction is expanded, you can see how the instruction time is composed from child instruction times.
Hotspots View
Using the profiler Hotspots view you can immediately detect the time the processor spent in each instruction. The hotspot displays the inherent time of the instruction, that is the total time of processing that instruction minus the time for processing its children instructions. When a hotspot is expanded you can see all the different paths that instruction was called from (a reverse invocation tree), each path being labeled with the number of invocations, the instruction time on that path and what percentage from the instruction total execution that path contributes.

First drive: Caterham Supersport R
If the barmy R500 is too much, here's just the right amount of open-top lunacy... Dan Read reports
Posted: 03 Dec 2012
What do we have here?
A semi-hardcore Seven, which essentially replaces the R300 at the fast end of the Caterham showroom.
It's getting busy in that showroom.
The regular Supersport lives somewhere in the middle of the range, between the soft-ish Roadsports and barmy R500. This R version uses the Supersport's bespoke racy dampers, but ditches the 140bhp 1.6-litre Sigma engine for a 180bhp 2-litre Duratec.
So it's quick, then?
Maths tells us that 180bhp and 535kg equals 336bhp per tonne, which more than a Porsche 911 Turbo. Zero to 60mph takes 4.8 seconds, so it's brisk, but not silly, and just 0.1 seconds quicker than the regular Supersport. But those are pub stats. What really matters is the extra meat you get from the Duratec at, say, 40mph to 70mph. No waiting around for turbochargers, no deep breath while it gathers its thoughts. Just press throttle, enjoy results.
So it's a muzzled R500?
Sort of. Thanks to the firm suspension it's a bit of a handful on bumpy roads, but push your luck and it'll give you decent warning before sending you towards a hedge. It has a limited slip diff, which helps to trim corners into neat lines. And the rear tyres are just 175mm wide, so they're more playful than really fat and grippy ones. Put it this way: where the R500 might bite your ears off without hesitation, this thing would stop at a gentle nibble.
Is it comfy?
Not really. If you want squishy seats and a radio, get a Roadsport. Otherwise, prepare for thin seats and a stiff ride on your way to the circuit, which - of course - is where most R buyers will be going. But it still comes with an optional, removable weather pack, including a roof, flappy doors and windscreen to bat away bees. So it takes a bit of commitment, but it's not as masochistic as less roofy rivals like a Radical.
What's the damage then?
If you are James May it will cost £24,995 for the parts, and you will build it yourself. Otherwise it's £27,995 if you'd like Caterham to make it for you. That's £3.5k more than a basic Supersport, but still cheaper than the R300, which had lashings of mostly unnecessary carbon fibre.
The Supersport R is probably the pick of the Caterham range. It's not too bare. It's not too hard. It's not too fast. But it is amusing, and very satisfying, which is how we felt about the R300. Some will crave a more eye-popping experience, but there's always the R500 or Ariel Atom for that. Just one big niggle: the gearing of the 5-speed 'box might struggle on some longer, faster circuits. You can have a six-speeder fitted for £2,995, but that pushes the price over £30k. Best stick to this one because, for this money, and at this weight and power, it's about as honest as it gets.

He said Big Red which is Verizon right?
Anyways, the HTC DNA is top dog now (or G Note 2 if you want to go that big, check around as some people here got it)
Then there's also the GS3 which i wouldn't mind if i was on the big V, decent phone for sure.

Top of the line: Droid DNA. Nothing can touch it right now with it's 1080p screen and S4 Pro CPU. And at $200 it's a good price compared to some of the top of the line phones hitting $300 right now.
If $200 is too much, there's the Galaxy Nexus for $100. Unfortunately the Nexus 4 doesn't work with Verizon, but the Galaxy Nexus is still a very respectable phone.
Of course there's always the Galaxy S III or the RAZR line, but you'd need the RAZR HD to compare to the others, and for the $200 price point of the RAZR HD, $249 for the Galaxy S III, or $299 for the RAZR MAXX HD, I don't see why you wouldn't get the DNA instead.
As for your comments on the DNA's battery, I don't think non-removable batteries are that big of a deal. Battery problems are rare, and if you get insurance for your phone, it should cover it. What's wrong with getting a whole new phone? Depending on who is fixing it, they MIGHT replace the battery, but a lot of times they'll just send you a refurb which really is typically as good as new. A lot of times it's a chance to get a fresh screen and case if you had any scratches. Besides, the iPhone has been like that forever and how often do you really hear people make that a big issue? These batteries don't usually just randomly go bad, and they can handle enough charge cycles to long last you into your next phone. If you REALLY need extra power on the go, get one of those boxes with 5000 mAh or so of battery that you can plug usb into and you can charge any device on the go. It's just my personal opinion, but I think that non-removable batteries offer more positives (thinner and stronger designs), than negatives because the negatives are rare.

Thanks for the thorough reply.
$200 is what I was expecting to pay. That was how much I paid for the Droid X, plus i'm going to purchase it at Best Buy and use some Rewardzone coupons to drop it down some more.
The battery thing is just something I have read on the forums from users as a concern. I guess personally it doesn't bother me. I have had issues where my X would lock up and it's nice to be able to just pop the battery out and be done with it. As far as getting it replaced, I typically don't purchase insurance, so my concern would be if it's past warranty date, do I have to pay for a new phone etc...

Basically looking to get a router that is super solid, I don't need any fancy features like a built-in LCD screen or built-in NAS or anything like that, just a basic wired/wireless router. But I do want the ability to use Tomato firmware (or similar) and a solid wireless capability (my current gateway, SBG6580, gets 2.5 MB/s over wireless max, it's so damn slow).
Most of my wireless devices support 802.11n, but I still have one or two that only support 802.11g.
What are the current models out there for solid routers, preferable with changeable firmware?
If any other questions need to be known, ask away.

What You Should Know About Inflation
What You Should Know About Inflation
The book's title—What You Should Know About Inflation—only hints at the extent of the issues that Hazlitt addresses. He presents the Austrian theory of money in the clearest possible terms, and contrasts it with the fallacies of government management. He takes on not only the Keynesians but also the monetarists, as well as anyone who believes that government debt accumulation and manipulation of interest rates are harmless.
So this book is about far more than inflation. He touches on a wide variety of macroeconomic topics, any area of economic policy that is related to the monetary regime, including budget and trade issues, as well has the economic history of inflation.
Neither does he neglect the moral cost of inflation:
It is not merely that inflation breeds dishonesty in a nation. Inflation is itself a dishonest act on the part of government, and sets the example for private citizens. When modern governments inflate by increasing the paper-money supply, directly or indirectly, they do in principle what kings once did when they clipped coins. Diluting the money supply with paper is the moral equivalent of diluting the milk supply with water. Notwithstanding all the pious pretenses of governments that inflation is some evil visitation from without, inflation is practically always the result of deliberate governmental policy.
Particularly interesting is the final section of the book in which Hazlitt critiques various proposals for monetary reform and then presents his view.
What is Hazlitt's own idea for monetary reform? He wants competitive monies, which he believes will be based in precious metal. He doesn't demand that governments get out of the monetary business altogether but merely that government permit everyone to choose to use any money and make any form of contract.
Hazlitt lays out a scenario that he believes will lead to a 100 percent gold standard rooted in private coinage. In effect, he argues that private markets can do for money what private services have done to a whole host of government ones: outcompete and displace them.
It is a challenging thesis, particularly because it doesn't depend on any reform other than freeing the market.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by kelseyawalker Without flaw I've never been so obsessed with something. This has to be the best thing i've gotten from free people, which says a lot, free people being the store of my dreams. The bag is so light weight and comfortable to carry around. It seems to hang on my shoulder just perfectly. I've had it for a few months now and use it nearly every day. It's held up pretty well, except for a slight tear on one of the patches (it looks almost as if it belongs though.) If you're even considering making this purchase, i say go for it. You won't be disappointed. 5.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by heatherwrthm cute but lacks the quality of the price tag Overall this is a cute bag. The colors are subdued, but it still stands out. But, the quality is not worth the price. The lining is quite thin and the outer material is as well. I have been using the bag for about 5 days and had to sew a burst seem already. If you pay $98 for a bag, I'm thinking you shouldn't have to repair it within 5 days, so that is why I'm giving only 3 stars. Wait for it to go on sale...like a really good sale!!! 10.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jabrown1350 Love this bag! I just got this bag and I love it. It's exactly what I was looking forl. The lining is thin but the bag is awesome. I 'm in love. So glad I made this purchase. Was not disappointed. Jackie Pennsylvania 6.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RockyD Picture Perfect I was admiring this one online and unexpectedly found it in my new FP Bethesda MD store. Happy Mothers Day for me! The strap appears sturdy. I've already used it once and it feels great on your shoulder. As an earlier reviewer stated, I'm a bit concerned about the lining being a bit thin but I was more than willing to take the chance. Super sized with cell pocket and larger pocket inside. Mine has a beige lining with is unique and makes it very easy to spot things. I'm very happy with my purchase and new Bethesda store! 5.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jeg Love it. I am going to have to disagree with the previous review. It is what it is. It's a Vintage Kanta Bag....and that's what you get! I went to the store to purchase it (My first visit to a Free People store! <3, love, love love Wicker Park!) so that I could choose my bag myself. I knew my bag immediately, I found one with colors that make me smile, and I love the kitschy fabrics, the colors are bright and the patterns are so fun. And I can't find any stains. I love the two outer pockets, so handy for my keys and such. I can easily fit my hand in the pockets with room to spare. And yes, the studs on the pocket are just studs...but the bag is made of scraps, so....... Great drop on the strap. I can carry it over my shoulder and no slipping off. If your look is boho or you are just a hippie at heart, you will love this bag. I am going to wear this bag out! 2.10.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gnomelover Hmmmm I have to admit that I am obsessed with Kantha. I have 4 Kantha dresses from Free People's sister site. And anytime I am at the flea market and see a reasonable piece of Kantha, I snatch it up. When I saw these bags, I knew I had to have one. I also thought it was a great price for a vintage Kantha bag. So, I ordered three so I could choose one and send two back. They came yesterday and of course, in my secret heart of hearts I was yearning for the gorgeous pink one the model is wearing. All three that came looked very similiar. Much more like the multicolored darker bag in the pictures. The bags are very shapeless, more like a giant beach bag than a purse. I also found the lining and clasp to be flimsy and I do not know how long it will last. However, the vintage Kantha is gorgeous. Every bag that came had at least one patch that had some sort of stain on it, so be aware this is vintage used fabric. I am keeping one of the bags, because I think it makes a great carry on for the trips I am taking this year. It is not nice enough to use as an everyday purse. And I hate, hate, hate the cheap beaded studs on the pockets. It really cheapens the "purse.". It is still a really cool patched bag, but if I did not know it was vintage fabric or how much it costs, I could mistake it for a bag from the store with the giant bullseye. 2.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by vacantly_louche Super cute, not terribly durable. I love this bag. It's cute and massive and great with summer dresses. Unfortunately the sewing is kind of awful. I've had it for less than a month, and despite never putting anything heavier than Chapstick or an iPhone in the side pockets, they have both half ripped off, which is super ugly. It's fixable, but kind of annoying. I know the seams are raw and the frayed look adds to the bag, but you can make threads look frayed and still have them actually hold fabric together. Bummer. Still cute though. 7.25.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rachaelwells6 Best Baby Bag i purchased this bag when pregnant, i saw it online and it was a 'I HAVE TO HAVE IT' purchase. I originally had a baby bag but it didnt fit over the pram handles, when my daughter came along i was struggling with the baby bag when i thought the Kanta bag might be the answer! it is awesome!! it fits perfectly over the pram and it holds everything i need for bubs, sometimes overflowing with stuff. I have used it for 10 months and LOVE IT!! not only does it look good but i recommend as a everyday bag, or if you are expecting, a baby bag. Its HUGE and holds everything you will ever need and then some. 5.18.2014

Good Thing We Got Mean Old Egyptian Dictator Hosni Mubarak To Relinquish Power
Posted by KingShamus on November 24, 2012
Because newly-minted Egyptian dictator Muhammad Morsi is totally not becoming the new dictator of Egypt.
With a constitutional assembly on the brink of collapse and protesters battling the police in the streets over the slow pace of change, President Mohamed Morsi issued a decree on Thursday granting himself broad powers above any court as the guardian of Egypt's revolution, and used his new authority to order the retrial of Hosni Mubarak.
Mr. Morsi, an Islamist and Egypt's first elected president, portrayed his decree as an attempt to fulfill popular demands for justice and protect the transition to a constitutional democracy. But the unexpected breadth of the powers he seized raised immediate fears that he might become a new strongman.
B-b-b-but…youth and revolution and Facebook and stuff.
This #ArabSpringFail has been brought to you by President Barack Obama, who insisted that the relatively reliable American ally Hosni Mubarak get the hell out of Dodge. Why? Because he wasn't down with the new-fangled 7th century Koran-thumper lingo those Islamofacist hep-cats are all jazzed up about these days.
But hey, maybe we should see how this Egyptian Dictatorship Version 2.0 thing works out before we judge it. I mean, what democratic reform movement doesn't start out with numerous charges of sexual assault carried out against women counter-protesters and end with legalized female circumcision? That's how George Washington did it when he wrote the Constitution all by himself back in 1492. And if you dispute that fact, you hate the Founding Fathers. Why are you chugging the anti-American haterade, hater?
I wonder what Mona Eltahawy, the brave defender of free speech when it lines up with her brand of delicate soft-focus socialism, thinks of the enlightened Egyptian autocrats sanctioning genital mutilation for Egyptian girls. It's sad that full-time PLO apologist and part-time Columbia University professor Edward Said isn't alive today. He could've written a beautiful 20,000 word propaganda piece about why the Muslim Brotherhood was completely justified in sending out the rape-squads to deal with those lippy female protesters at Tahrir Square.
At least President Barack Obama finally recognizes his error in supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and is now doing everything he can to stop the creation of a new dictatorship in a vital part of the Middle East.
UPDATE: Linked by the great Bob Belvedere! He asks a very good question:
How long will the pyramids last?
I'd say it all depends. Does Not-Dictator Morsi value tourist dollars? The only reason anybody outside the Middle East gives a shit about Egypt is the archaeology. World opinion–and a lot of cold hard cash–would turn very heavily against the Muslim Bothering Brothers if they vaporized the Sphinx in a fit of Islamodouche pique.
On the other hand, the Taliban turned the Bamiyan Buddhas into piles of rubble. Nobody cared. Sure, there were some weak outcries and some concern troll pooh-poohing over the loss of priceless works of megalithic art. But that was pretty much it. There are plenty of wackos in the MB who want to finish the job of cleansing Egypt of it's pre-Islamic history the same way the Taliban did in their country.
Egypt is more connected to the world than Afghanistan was or is today. That means there might be enough relatively sane Islamists who know just how valuable the Pyramids are to the nation. Hopefully that is enough to save Egypt's national treasures.

Classic example of one tyrant replacing another. The Egyptian people understood the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood, this is why for the most part they were banned and considered a extreme fringe group. They planted to seeds of discontent and then struck when they saw an opportunity. Now the Pharaoh has returned to enslave the people once again.

I love female circumcision. It's a beautiful and healthy example of nonpartriarchal, nonwestern, nonwhite values. It's peoples of color at their best. We should all emulate it.

DUI numbers falling statewide and locally
January 28, 2011 in The Daily Republic
Arrests for driving under the influence have declined each of the past three years statewide and each of the past four years in Davison County.
Law enforcement officials say the trend is driven by a variety of factors, including an aggressive program to keep DUI offenders from drinking, public awareness of sobriety checkpoints and the rise of new taxi services.

Eastern and southern Asia hosts some of the most interesting cities and sites in the world. The ruins of Angkor Wat beckon with ancient walls and exquisite sculptures. In China, the Great Wall and the majestic features of The Forbidden City are experienced by millions of visitors. Glittering, golden temples that date back hundreds of years can be visited in Thailand and other countries and most of those temples feature a variety of Buddha statues. Some are small Buddha sculptures that were placed in grottos 400 years ago. Others feature a smiling, laughing jolly Buddha, and others are truly massive in size. However, despite the large size of a huge reclining or standing Buddha, those statues don't lose their very peaceful, humble appearance. If anything, they contribute to the peace and tranquility of their surroundings.
However, you don't need to commission the creation of a twenty foot tall statue for your garden to pay homage to the Buddha and fill the backyard with peace. Buy the Giant Buddha Monument-Sized Garden Sculpture and you can make a tranquil statement with a four foot tall, authentic Buddha statue. Complement and add to the peace with the three foot tall, standing Enlightened Buddha Sculpture. This sculpture is imported from southeast Asia and is an authentic, beautiful depiction of the Buddha standing on a lotus.
Buy these and other quality religious outdoor statues as well as anything on our site between today and July 5th and get a 20% discount as part of our 4th of July Sale!

Great Style and Functionality

Great System
By speakerfanatic777
from Barrington, RI
The sound quality on this docking system is great. At normal volumes, the bass is deep, the mid-range is clear, and it provides very good treble. But, when the volume gets really cranked, the bass stops going up with the volume. But this product is highly recommended by me a music lover. The styling of this product is sharp and is well built. Since this device is also portable, I took it to a party to celebrate the end of the school year. Thanks to the speakers, that was one of the best times I ever had in school. Great Job Sony!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Absolutely Fantastic !!

Oh let's see now. Blizzard have said that they're going to change all of their forums to use the Real ID system.
Chas at Righteous Orbs makes makes a strong case again this change from a discrimination standpoint. He's (tragically) almost certainly correct.
Larisa at the Pink Pigtail Inn is horrified (that's my reading, not a word she used btw) that the slippery slope, so often erroneously invoked, appears to apply in this case. I fervently hope she's not correct, because that would suggest there's more to come. I'm not confident though.
Hatch suggests that implementing real ID on the forums in this way will have precisely the opposite effect to the goal stated in Nethaera's announcement — the humans leave, the trolls colonise. I think Hatch is probably right too.
Kurn suggests that this might be a money-saving exercise. Much as I instinctively shy away from the "Actiblizz is ruining teh game for $$$$" memes that show up on a regular basis, that sounds plausible even if only as a useful side-effect.
Gah. I could carry on linking to people who make valid points but at this point it seems like you could pick almost any random blog and find an argument against the forthcoming change.
Rather than repeat the points other people have made with different words, here are some bullet points. Because bullet points are nice when you can't structure things in your head properly.
- Could this make money for someone? *If* the furore of the blogging few is in any way representative of the wider community, then there's potentially a good number of people who now need somewhere new to post guild recruitment threads, discuss classes/specs/mechanics without needing to be EJ-approved, organise realm activities etc. ZAM networks, the people behind Wowhead/Thottbot etc., might be an obvious candidate given their knowledge of the game and expertise with web properties. Perhaps the forum sections of the guild website hosting sites are about to get busier.
- I realise that, RP servers notwithstanding, Blizzard don't really care too much about RPers, but even if care about roleplay at all, seeing "[Ragescream] (Steve Weatherspoon) roars with bestial vigor" would break the immersion a little, don't you think?
- If they'd provided the privacy options people suggested at various points and which aren't *that* hard to come up with (appear offline, disable friends-of-friends, assign a single master "name" for forums etc, make it possible to find the master name by inspecting a character) then we'd probably all have ended up disabling them with the year anyway, once we got used to it or found a reason to.
- Facebook is facebook. Warcraft is not facebook. Gamers have Facebook accounts. Gamers who want to share their identity and their love of games with others are doing so on Facebook already. Why not just have an option to integrate your battlenet account with your facebook account, and designate a contact group who can contact you ingame?
- Why do people have to post absurdities to try and make a point. Just make your point. The first reply on that previous link is from someone who has had their identity stolen in the past, who is known to classmates only as "Dagoth" because they protect their real name so carefully, and is in the witness protection programme as a threatened key witness in a capital case. O RLY?
- I do not want to be "me" in the game world, in the game community. I want to be me+. That's the escapism part, remember? Don't make the in-game "me" be the me who forgets to unload the washing machine or phone home often enough.
- My friends do not automatically forward my contact details to all of *their* friends. When I am asking the beleaguered LU worker besieged by angry commuters why the Jubilee line is broken AGAIN, I do not begin my question by first announcing my name to the crowd. I cannot claim to be a particularly private person but I do not broadcast personally identifying information to random psychopaths in the street. I do not do these things because I AM NOT A TOTAL MORON.
Right. That'll do. Next up, some tales of derring-do in Icecrown Citadel (spoiler: Sindy was not involved), Ano comes to terms with the fact that knowing the hit cap for ret paladins does not make you an expert on all things WoW, Cent has shiny new shinies and went on a "PuG" ""raid"", trinket envy, and why I love Looking for More.

I find little to disagree with in Scott Lemieux's look at the legality of minting a trillion-dollar coin. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, the idea is simple. When the president is required to spend all money authorized by Congress, in most instances, that requires the Treasury to borrow money to fulfill congressional obligations. But Congress has also imposed a borrowing limit on the Treasury. In the past, Congress has lifted the limit with little fuss, but beginning in 2011, House Republicans have used it as leverage for spending cuts. If Treasury reaches the limit without paying its full obligations, it defaults, which would have catastrophic consequences for the global economy.
At the moment, Republicans are threatening not to lift the limit (though, there is some question of their sincerity). This leaves President Obama with three options: He can let the government default, triggering a global recession. He can concede spending cuts to the GOP, giving further incentive to legislative hostage taking, or he can take advantage of a loophole in the law, which allows Treasury to mint platinum coins of any denomination.
The law was passed to facilitate the creation of commemorative coins and generate a little revenue for the government. Treasury would mint a coin for $10, sell it for its full value of $50 to collectors, and pocket the difference. The trillion-dollar coin is a variation on this idea. Treasury would mint a coin worth $1 trillion, deposit it in the Federal Reserve, and use the funds to pay its obligations, as mandated by Congress.
As Lemieux notes, there's no legal argument against this: The plain text of the law gives this authority to Treasury, which is to say that it gives this authority to the president. But there are critics, on the left and the right, who are wary of going down this road. Justin Green, for example, doesn't think the president should make inroads around Congress, even if its facing a real abuse of congressional power.
I understand the sentiment, but it's mistaken. For starters, in a system of shared powers, all branches of government act as a check against each other. By refusing to lift the debt ceiling—and blocking the government from fulfilling its obligations—Congress is abusing its power. It's as if your parents told you to mow the lawn, but then barred you from using the mower. Insofar that the $1 trillion coin is an expansion of executive power, it's one meant to check an abuse—a distinction worth making.
What's more, if there's anything that would provoke a constitutional crisis, it's hitting the debt ceiling. Lemieux explains:
Complying with a refusal to lift the debt ceiling, however, would require Obama to violate the law. Drum is of course correct that "the debt ceiling is legal," and President Obama cannot directly refuse to obey it. But the problem is that Congress has also instructed the president to spend more than the debt limit in its appropriations bills. Not only that, but allowing a default based on the debt ceiling would conflict with the 14th Amendment, which states that "[t]he validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." If Congress refused to raise the debt limit, then, Obama would be forced to violate federal law either way.
Finally, I think opponents of the coin are missing a key fact in this debate: If there's anything that would provoke a constitutional crisis—or at least, undermine public faith in our system of government—it's a global recession. Constitutional governance tends not to fare well in periods of economic distress, and that's even more true when the distress is self-inflicted.
The $1 trillion coin is a ridiculous idea. But it's no less ridiculous than the debt ceiling, and in the big scheme of things, it's far preferable to defaulting on our obligations.

"Treasury would mint a coin for $10, sell it for its full value of $50 to collectors, and pocket the difference. The trillion-dollar coin is a variation on this idea. Treasury would mint a coin worth $1 trillion, deposit it in the Federal Reserve...."
Minting a commemorative coin and SELLING it is not at all analogous to stamping out a coin and claiming that you magically have $1 trillion. The fact that this Marx Brothers nonsense is being seriously discussed sheds light on how totally the left has become detached from reality.
Mark Matson
Thu, 2013-01-10 13:17
Actually, it is exactly the same, though you are correct to highlight the word "sell". The $50 coin actually says $50 on it and is legal tender. The word "sell" is actually wrong. The government doesn't sell collector coins any more than someone sells you four quarters for a dollar.
Yes, governments print money that has real value. The justifiable fear is inflation, but in this case not really an issue.
Sat, 2013-01-12 14:40
A trillion dollar coin would not accomplish anything, and the Constitution only gives Congress the power to coin money. The Democratic Party is now a one-party government with the power to threaten Americans with financial disaster unless they are given permission to borrow unlimited money for the purpose of strengthening their one-party control. There is really only one rational way for an independent voter to view this situation.

I send $40.00 every year to the Bureau of the Public Debt for payment of the debt, not because I am charitable, but because I like to show this comparison between an independent voter and the two-party corruption that has controlled this country for two hundred years.

(1) Terminate a term of supervised release and discharge the defendant released at any time after the expiration of two years of supervised release, pursuant to the provisions of the West Virginia Rules of Criminal Procedure relating to the modification of probation, if it is satisfied that such action is warranted by the conduct of the defendant released and the interests of justice;
(2) Extend a period of supervised release if less than the maximum authorized period was previously imposed or modify, reduce or enlarge the conditions of supervised release, at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the term of supervised release, consistent with the provisions of the West Virginia Rules of Criminal Procedure relating to the modification of probation and the provisions applicable to the initial setting of the terms and conditions of post-release supervision;

The length of such term of supervised release shall not exceed the term of supervised release authorized by this section less any term of imprisonment that was imposed upon revocation of supervised release.
(j) Delayed revocation. -- The power of the court to revoke a term of supervised release for violation of a condition of supervised release and to order the defendant to serve a term of imprisonment and, subject to the limitations in subsection (i) of this section, a further term of supervised release extends beyond the expiration of the term of supervised release for any period necessary for the adjudication of matters arising before its expiration if, before its expiration, a warrant or summons has been issued on the basis of an allegation of such a violation.

He's certainly not hurting for money, and he isn't holding the title hostage, so more power to him.
March 15th, Hendricks/Lawler for WW title.
WTF? Robbie Lawler & Hendricks for the title in March.
Sorry, but Lawler doesn't deserve a title fight yet. He's only on a 3-fight win streak, all after returning to the UFC & WW.
Good for GSP. He seems like a good person and can do with his life what he wants. Wish him the best and look forward to the inevitable comeback.
Guess they're going with the hot hand in Lawler, but IMO Hendricks dusts him, while I think a Condit II would be a helluva lot closer and IMO, if feels like they're looking to give Hendricks a lob, hoping that he retains and GSP returns sooner than later.
Meltzer's question was awesome, bringing up "why not Condit?" and Dana's response was some nice double-talking about rankings and how Condit already fought for the title and fought Hendricks, totally side stepping that the "UFC rankings" themselves, which while highly dubious, have Condit ahead of Lawler. Dunno what "special fight" Dana's trying to nail down for Condit on the same card, and he's now said the Brown fight is off of the table. Only thing I can think of is they pull Lombard from his Shields matchup.....oh and Dana reiterated that Nick Diaz is still retired, but he could definitely be kayfabing.
Also, was super awesome to hear them raking Dana over the coals for his original dickhead comments about how "GSP thinks these problems are a big deal, but they're not" and what changed.
If he comes back, I'll definitely watch that fight. If he doesn't, I hope he finds happiness in whatever he decides to do. I'm definitely happy that he vacated the title. That to me showed his priorities are in order. Good for him.
Now watch a year from now he's bloated and shoving a poutine/Tim Horton's hybrid pile in his face on the regular. Likely not to happen, but I can dream...apparently about fat men, but still!
obviously it's not ideal for gsp to go out on a controversial decision, but i'm glad he retired. i, like any fan, want him to be able to at least try to redeem that, but it's also selfish to want that. gsp is the greatest ww fight in the world and could be argued that he was one of the best mma fighters.
robbie vs hendricks -- robbie wins then condit gets a shot and beats robbie.
What's the over/under on GSP staying out longer than Cruz has?

He was born in Ozone Park, Queens but was brought here by hie parents, the late Joseph and Virginia Sanetti at the age of six months, so that Lynbrook could be called his own "home town." His sister, Mrs. Gloria D'Auria, widow of the late Tony D'Auria is a long time member of the Dow Club of Lynbroc*. Jerry graduated from Lyn-brook schools, including West End and Lynbrook High School. He served in the U.S. Navy in World War II in both the Atlantic and Pacific Theatres of War as a Chief Gunners Mate in a crack Gun Crew and has had the ex-perience of having his ships torpedoed and lost at sea. The battles with enemy submarines is something he would rather forget. He was in business for himself in Lynbrook in the food line until he became Deputy Building Inspector in 1%7, for the In-corporated Village of Lynbrook. Jerry is married to the former Frances Caunizzaro since 1936. The couple have a son, John, who resides in West Palm Beach, Florida with his family. Jerry and Frances are very proud of their three fine grandchildren,. Marie, age 11, Jackie, age 7, and Lisa, age 3, who are the delight of their grandpa's heart. Jerry is a slim 5 ft. 10 in. with dark hair and expressive eyes. He generally shows a rather pleasant, outgoing, extravert type of personality and has a warm smile when actually he has an introvert nature but likes people so that he makes every effort to be of help. His favorite colors are brown and a rich blue and he enjoys reading, gardening, and "making new friends" to quote him. He and Frances usually vacation in Florida so that they can see and enjoy the grand-children. A great tragedy in the Jerry Sanetti life ot the Sanetti family was the loss of a grandson, in 1965. Jerry does not have the best of health and has managed to work at a hectic pace in spite of any difficulty. He is a member of American Legion Post M334, V.F.W. Howard Lathrop Post #2307, the Lynbrook Lion's Club, the u.r-.O.E. # 1515" Lynbrook Elks, the New York State Assessor's Association and the Building Inspector's Association of Nassau County called BIANCO. Jerry stated that his marriage to his wonderful wife, Frances was the most important highlight of his entire life. Serving his own community is of prime importance to him and he has proven this fact by his diligent work as a prime member of the annual Lynbrook Week Committee. Jerry also recalls the loss of many good friends in World War II and meeting a fellow Lyn-brookite, Ozzie Lowenburg of Woodlawn Ave. Lynbrook in Burma. It is quite true that it is a small world after all. Jerry Sanetti is the sort of person who makes a project or task he is engaged upon "tick." Some people are "dOers" and others are spectators in life letting "Joe do it." Jerry gets involved in more things t h ^ the average person could even begin to handle. He has an un-forgettable personality. Lyn-brook, U.S.A. means a great deal to him. East Rockaway Fire Chief Robert J. Reynolds presents a twenty-five year pin to Mrs. Charles Fr^thingham, posthumously for her husband, Ex-Captain Charles Frothirigham, of the Grant St. Firehouse, who passed away this past year.

Music Monday Corgan – "Panopticon" by The Smashing Pumpkins
Posted by KingShamus on January 7, 2013
Here's a song I overlooked last year. My bad.
This little ditty is taken from The Smashing Pumpkins' latest full-length disc Oceania, which came out in 2012.
Lead Smasher Billy Corgan can be such an arrogant doucherocket, even by platinum-selling guitar hero standards. He's never really matched the consistent high quality of the Gish/Siamese Dream/Mellon Collie era. He had a seriously lame mid-period lull in the late 90's/early 2000's because he had to over-analyze and over-produce every single idea that breezed through his head. He somehow alienated the ultra-adorable Paz Lenchantin when she was in his other band Zwan.
But when Corgan nails a song, it's amazing how good it is. Forget about his big radio hits. That's hunting cows with a grenade launcher. Homeboy designed the singles to be irresistible earworms.
How do you know BC is talented? Look at some of the Pumpkin's deeper tracks. "Tristessa" filters a bit of punk rock simplicity through Jimmy Page's cranked Marshall stacks with excellent results. "Geek USA" is exuberant rock music that doesn't fall into Corgan's hyper-cerebral trappings. Da Punkins somehow figure out a way to simultaneously celebrate and mock the mopey goth-kid ethos in the woefully underrated "Here Is No Why".
The Smashing Pumpkins' enduring genius was, and still is, the ability to meld hippy-dippy kumbaya dreams with carefully orchestrated heavy rock riffs. From what I've heard of Oceania, Billy Corgan might just be ready to embrace this legacy rather than run away from it. I'm still not sold on SP version 3.0–or is it 4.0?–but still, "Panopticon" is pretty great.
One More Thing: Billy Corgan has a habit of hiring lady bass players. Why not run through a partial list?

Midwest Living Review
Your best friend may think you're barking mad if you skip the Indianapolis Humane Society's Pet Park, located along a nice wooded creek east of Michigan Road just north of 79th Street. There's a large, rolling play area of more than 2 acres with 2 1/2 miles of wooded trails outside the main fenced section. (Leashes required on trails.) There are also plenty of trees inside the play space for shade and necessities. In the center is an 11-element agility course including a tunnel, two up-and-back-down ramps, hurdles, a series of quick-turn posts and other items. All are solidly constructed to take a pounding from the biggest pooches. The agility course is fenced within the larger play area, which patrons say also makes it ideal for dogs that need some simmer-down time. Yearly membership in the Humane Society is required, along with vaccination and spay/neuter records. Daily passes ($8) are also available for visitors. The park is equipped with cleanup equipment and waste containers. There is a water pump, and they encourage you to bring your own bowls, but there are some on site if you forget. There is also a box of free Frisbees in the lobby of the nice Humane Society building. There is plenty of parking, and access to the play area is by electric key-fob that you get with membership. Hours: 7:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m. (fall/winter); 7 a.m.-9 p.m. (spring/summer).

Putting Faith in the Conservative Creed
As Democrats continue to bask in the post-election schadenfreude of watching Republicans weep and gnash their teeth at losing the presidential election, the sense that conservatives are the architects of their own misery is only enhancing liberal glee. It seems the initial shock hasn't warn off: In a conference call with his fundraising team, Mitt Romney is still blaming his loss on those freeloading Americans who wanted stuff.
Clearly, the only explanation for all this delusion is that conservative media and campaign consultants, steeped in years of confidently lying about everything from global warming to the causes of the deficit, got a little too bold about their ability to create their own realities. The only question is whether conservatives will learn their lesson and exhibit more skepticism about their self-selected news media in the future.
The answer is almost surely no, for a very good reason: Conservative credulousness is so baked into the culture of the right that it could well be considered a defining feature. This has been true for as long as movement conservatism as we know it has existed, and there's no real reason to think conservatives are going to sharpen up about this now.
Before the election, historian Rick Perlstein published an essay examining the long history of intra-conservative con artistry in The Baffler, with a heavy focus on the way conservative publications and mail-order fundraisers exploit audience gullibility to sell people snake oil and convince them to give to "causes" that never see much, if any, of the money. Perlstein's aim was to explain why it is that conservatives didn't seem to mind Romney's nonstop lying, even though his constantly changing positions made it unclear which lie he'd be backing if he ever made it to the presidency. Perlstein argued that after years of training themselves to enjoy the garbage shoveled out by their media outlets, conservatives have come to rely on lying as a kind of comfort blanket, a way to know that they are with their own people.
It's time, in other words, to consider whether Romney's fluidity with the truth is, in fact, a feature and not a bug: a constituent part of his appeal to conservatives. The point here is not just that he lies when he says conservative things, even if he believes something different in his heart of hearts—but that lying is what makes you sound the way a conservative is supposed to sound, in pretty much the same way that curlicuing all around the note makes you sound like a contestant on American Idol is supposed to sound.
There are post-election lessons to be learned from how movement conservatism has long housed weirder claims than run-of-the-mill climate-change denialism. Perlstein cites examples such as claiming naps cure cancer better than chemo or that grandmothers can trust their dollars are going to Bibles in Africa, when they're simply being pocketed by fundraisers. Stanley Kubrick mocked this tendency in Dr. Strangelove, when a character repeats a popular '60s-era right-wing urban legend about fluoridated water being communist mind control. (This fear still haunts the right, as demonstrated by Georgia state senators convening a meeting last month to discuss Obama's supposed communist mind-control plot.) The lesson in all this for the rest of us: Right-wingers don't really have the same relationship to the truth that we do. They aren't just creating their own truth for comfort but also to mark themselves as members of the tribe.
Part of the problem is the word "believe." In many cases, "believe" can be used interchangeably with words like "know," "understand," and "accept." I believe that my dinner will be a burrito. I believe in the theory of evolution. But the word also stands in for ideological stances. Then there are "beliefs" that serve to align individuals with other conservatives. Believing that climate change is a hoax, that Obama is a foreign national, or that ACORN stole the 2008 election: These beliefs have more symbolic than literal meaning to those who hold them. They are to being a conservative what believing in the Virgin Birth is to being a Christian.
The mind-set, reaffirming core principles in every conversation, has become the dominant way of communicating in conservative circles. Some of this stems from the heavy overlap with evangelical Christianity, where evangelical-specific urban legends run rampant. Religion blogger Fred Clark used as an example the Christian myth that Proctor & Gamble was run by Satanists, pointing out that people who share this story do so to prop up their identity as loyal evangelicals more than to make a factual observation about the world. Liberals understand very well how conservative nonsense serves political ends—by rationalizing attacks on reproductive rights or stalling regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse emissions—but equally important is the way that bullshit plays this role in establishing that the bullshit-believer belongs to the conservative club.
The devotion to untruth serves right wing's emotional needs as well. Movement conservatives take discomfort with the changing nation and channel it into a belief that everyone outside of the conservative tribe is out to get them. Everything else flows from that. If the real world is out to get you, reality-based knowledge—especially that mediated by perceived "liberal elites"—becomes suspect. So many urban legends in conservative circles center around the idea that the outside world is conspiring against them, such as fevered claims of "voter fraud" or Reagan-era claims of welfare cheats making three figures defrauding the taxpayer.
From characterizing everyone Not-Them as "moochers" to the persistent suspicion that Obama faked his birth certificate in an effort to take the presidency from someone who actually has a right to it: Conservatives fantasize that the mostly older, white population moving further and further to the right is being oppressed by the various groups liberals have forced them to power-share with. To give that up would be to completely reorder their world. As painful as it is to grasp the reality of Obama's win, it's safe to say they're going to go right back to putting their faith in fantasy instead of the realities that the rest of us live in.

Great article. I have long found the right's alternative parralel world (think tanks vs universities, news sites that have nothing to do with facts, etc) to be very disturbing. It is very hard to get someone to unbelieve something, once they buy in. I find frighting similarities between these modern parralel systems and the institutions and propaganda that flourished right before the American civil war and the Spanish civil war.
I'd like to believe (that word again!) that should push come to shove, reason and purdence would take top priority, but that doesn't seem to be the way it actually works out.
The Baffler article is a good read, if you want a longer view of the history of this.
