getting a bike?????
i plan on buying a bike on the near future i havent got my own n this will be my first bike ne one know??? i was thnkin of a late 90s ninja to start off with r they ne good
project homeskillet in the makin
90s ninjas are ok, if you are new to riding i would suggest you get something that you dont mind if it hits the pavement and something with out too much power

well, i have a gsxr 600 and i've had it for almost a year and it's my first bike. i think it's fine for a first bike. JUST DON'T BE STUPID!!! you HAVE to be careful till you really get to know how to ride a bike. i suggest, if they offer this in your state, to go take the motorcycle safety course. that's what i did. it was only a weekend and it was pretty fun (plus you get ur license if you pass).
a friend of mine who i ride with often bought a brand new 05 ninja 500 just before i got mine. a couple months later he was ready for a bigger bike. there's a HUGE difference in performance from a 600 to a 500 but not so much between the 600 and 750 and so forth. when we go riding he can't go anywhere near as fast as me, they just don't have a lot of power. sometimes i have to leave him behind and get on it (can't help it sometimes but he don't mind). but anyway he still has it and he's getting a 600 or 750 this spring.
my suggestion, is if you think you can control yourself and not be crazy the first couple months then get a USED 600. i wouldn't get a new one because it's your first bike, you want something cheaper than new. go with a cheap used 500 if you think your going to want to go fast when you first start riding, then after probably a year when you get tired of it and want something bigger and faster, which you will! then go with a 600 or 750. hope i helped you out a little

I disagree. You should start off with good fundamentals. If you haven't signed up for the MSF course. Do so now. I know a lot of riders who poo poo the class...saying it's a waste of time. I totally disagree. If you talk to any pro rider out there (and if you have the movie Faster), you'll hear this comment numerous times...."In motorcycle racing, it's 80% rider and 20% bike." The fastest guys out there don't necessarily have the strongest/most powerful motors. These are the guys that can stay on the throttle, not use up their lean angle and carry constant speed from straight away through the corners. On the track, you'll have guys in smaller bikes running circles around guys in the hot latest sport bikes.
I would get a small bike like a Ninja 500 or a SV650. Learn all you can on it. Because if you panic on one of these bikes, you're less likely going to kill yourself over a high horsepower one. The newer 600s aren't that far off from the liter bikes in terms of overall performance. You can get yourself in trouble just as fast in a 600 Supersport as you would on a liter.
Besides, on the street, you're not even going to tax the capabilities of the Ninja 500 or the SV650 without having the potential of being thrown in jail by your local 5-0. I had a buddy who thought he was ready to move up to an R6 from his SV650. That was until he wrecked his bike coming up to my house. He didn't even know what had happened. I went out to where he fell as he called me on his cell phone. I got there saw the black streak on the pavement and asked if he used his rear brake. He asked how I knew. He had locked his rear brake trying to slow the bike down for a U turn. I got his bike all fixed up enough for him to be able to ride it. He was meeting me to see what this road I call suicide run was all about. After I took him through, he realized he still had a lot to learn about riding before he would be ready to "step up" to a 600 SS bike.
Me personally, I went ahead and took the Experienced Riders Course through MSF and will be signing up for Keith Code's Superbike School when I have the cash freed up for it.

I used to own a '93 Ninja ZX6 (ZX6E1 to be exact). Black and teal. This was the fastest 600 available in '93 and was such a great bike that Kawasaki made them until last year (ok, you could only get one in CA last year, 2004 was the last for the rest of the US). If you haven't been there yet, check out zx6e.com. It's a great ZX6 forum. This is a great bike for a beginner because it has good power and torque but the bike is very stable (not prone to tank swap). Downside is that this means the bike is fairly difficult to wheelie well...not something I'm a fan of anyway and not something a beginner should be trying (and highly illegal on a public road).
Anyway, these are great bikes.
Hope this help.
Capital Obvious
90's ZX6's are good bikes. But, I am a Gixxer man myself. It will be fine for a starter bike. Just remember to not do stupid things and just because you have power doesn't mean you have to use it. Moderate yourself.
Drag racing is for fast cars, AUTOCROSS is for fast DRIVERS...
You can live in your car, but you can't race your house.

I just picked her up a few days ago.
I had an R6 as my first bike and it was a great bike. If you have had any riding experience at all you'll be fine with any 600.
Id recommend looking into finding a used Suzuki SV 650.........those are fantastic bikes with great power down low, and you can find them fairly cheap with low miles .......also your insurance will be substantially cheaper with the SV bikes.
But even the older kawi's are good bikes to.

I'm with ZX10guy when it comes to training. Any time you can get on a closed track (or even a parking lot) with an experienced motorcycle trainer, you're going to walk away with some valuable knowledge. Not to mention that many insurance companies give discounts to riders who have completed a training course.
I completely forgot about the SV650, this would also make a good first bike...or just a good bike period.
Unless you're made of money, I would run some of these bikes by your insurance agent and see what the premiums are going to run and then ask about discounts for things like motorcycle training, being a member of a recognized motorcycle club (AllState discounts for this), and to make sure the bike isn't on a black list (that list of bikes they just won't insure).
Don't forget to alot money for the proper gear; full-face helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots should be considered a minimum. Some may scoff at this list but if you've ever seen the results of someone going down hard without these items, you'd never ride without them. I had a friend that hit a dog and slid on the front face of his helmet long enough to make it paper thin...imagine if that was his face! He was wearing a leather jacket although it was not a motorcycle jacket. It shreaded in the first few yards and left him with major road rash over his entire torso.
SVT Fanatic
you disagree with what? i told him to go through the motorcycle safety course just like i had done. i started on a 600 and i knew how fast it was when i got it therefore untill i went and passed the MSF course and got used to the bike and felt comfortable, i went very slow. accelerated slow and went the speed limit. i didn't even ride it untill after i completed the course and got my license. i agree with starting with good fundamentals, you'll get that from the MSF course (they use 250cc bikes). but i was saying if you don't want to outgrow a bike fast you certainly won't with a 600. DO NOT get a ninja 636 or any 750 or higher cc of course. you'll be fine on a 600 just make sure you RESPECT IT. i always say don't be scared of it but respect it! you're going to outgrow and want something faster after a short time. a 500 can only go so fast i don't care how good of a rider you are. the best quarter mile time i've seen from a proffesional rider was 12 sec. oh and that's a 05.
i'm not trying to tell you to go with a 600, you should probably want a 500 first to learn the basics but as long as your careful you'll be fine on a 600.
EDIT** oh shit lol i see where you disagree, the performance of the bikes. i'm saying a 600 is a good bit more powerful. an inexperienced rider who does something wrong can easily get thrown off a bike on a 600 than a 500. also the 500 is smaller to go with the smaller engine, it'd be a lot easier to handle the 500 over the 600. sorry i seem a little twisted lol i'm at work! ok i'll get to work now

Released: Jun 01st, 1988
Running Time: 30
Director: Anthony Spinelli
Company: Bel-Air Video
Cast: Amber Lynn, Ona Zee, John Leslie, Robert Bullock, Jerry Butler, Nina Hartley, Colleen Brennan, Kimberly (I), Tom Byron, Jamie Gillis, Krista Lane, Keisha (I), Randy West, Shanna McCullough
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: All-Sex
This mail-order designed video series is culled from the videos of Anthony Spinelli. As with any compilation tape there's no real plot, but why do they all seem to cut out any seduction scene and start often in the midst of the action? Don't they know getting there's half the fun? Oh well, for the most part the scenes are fairly well shot featuring three 10-minute couple segments. Then at the end of each tape is the director exclaiming, "That's a wrap. I'm the director Anthony Spinelli!" Although nothing here could be called spectacular, video retailers are serious collectors might find some worthwhile clips.

what the critics say
Toby Young - 11/20
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
After a month in the UK, a young friend of mine from LA had eaten just about every type of food available. On her last night here I took her to the Gay Hussar, mainly because I don't know of any Californian equivalent. Much as I like the Gay Hussar, for its history, its welcome and other non-food related reasons, I wasn't sure that the food would be anything other than filling and hearty. It was that: it was also delicious, attractively presented and charmingly served. She loved it and so did I!
A decade ago I worked nearby and visited the Gay Hussar once or twice a month. I liked it then, but the food was rarely more than Eastern European home cooking. Last night's dinner was much more than that and I shall be returning as soon as I can.
For the record, we ate foie gras and the cold cherry soup for starters, followed by venison goulash and goose as a main course. All delicious!
Highly recommended!

David Moyes got his first Champions League group stage win as Wayne Rooney's landmark double helped Manchester United to a 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Rooney struck midway through the first half after Patrice Evra – who Leverkusen felt was offside – found him with a left-wing cross. That was his 28th Champions League goal, a British record.
Leverkusen drew level in the second half when Simon Rolfes curled a stunning strike past David De Gea, via a slight deflection off Michael Carrick.
United restored their lead five minutes later when Robin Van Persie unleashed a trademark volley, contorting his body to hammer the ball through Berndt Leno. It was spectacular but the keeper should have saved it.
Rooney extended the lead with a cool finish after a defensive howler by Emir Spahic, the England striker's 200th goal for United and 29th in Europe's top competition.
Antonio Valencia added a fourth with a driven finish to seal a classic United counter, as Rooney bagged an assist with a lovely weighted pass.
Omer Toprak bundled a late consolation home after De Gea flapped at a corner, and seconds later Van Persie marked a contender for miss of the season as he heeled the ball wide of an open goal from just two yards out.
PRE-MATCH: Shinji Kagawa is freed. Kagawa, conspicuous by his absence so far this season, was handed a start by Moyes, who also gave Marouane Fellaini a full debut. For Leverkusen, Germany midfielder Lars Bender recovered form a hip injury but only for the bench.
22' – GOAL: Rooney sweeps the ball home, but was Evra offside when he ran in to make the cross? And did Valencia foul the keeper?
42' – CHANCE: Rooney curls a free-kick inches wide. The England striker is having a great game.
44' – CHANCE: Kagawa with an inventive half-volley that is deflected inches wide. Was heading in.
52' – CHANCE: Rooney greedily goes it alone when he should have found Van Persie for a tap-in. All from a howler by Toprak.
54 – GOAL: Fantastic curling effort from Rolfes, which may have taken the slightest deflection off Carrick but was headed in anyway.
59' – GOAL: A wonderful volley from Van Persie, but Leno let it fly through him. Poor keeping.
70' – GOAL: A similar error to Toprak's, this time from Spahic, and Rooney is in once more. This time the angle is better and he finishes with aplomb.
79' – GOAL: Valencia puts United out of sight after a lovely through-ball from Rooney.
88' – GOAL: Toprak bundles the ball in as De Gea makes a meal of a corner. Consolation.
89' – BAD MISS: Van Persie somehow connects with his heel to put the ball wide of the far post from two yards.
Rooney's 28th Champions League goal was a British record in the competition, while his second made it 29.
Leverkusen have failed to win in their last 13 away Champions League matches and are yet to beat an English side away from home in eight matches.
The last six German clubs to travel to Old Trafford have lost.
TALKING POINT – Should United's opener have stood? Evra was possibly offside as he latched on to the ball down the left. Valencia definitely wasn't and, while technically not interfering at that moment, he continued his run into the path of Leno, who was prevented from getting to the ball before Rooney – with Leverkusen arguing that he was fouling the keeper too.

The Navy secretary's public Web portal has gone commercial, and now reaches the masses via Amazon Web Services' public cloud.
The switch to a commercial cloud was announced in an article penned by Department of the Navy CIO Terry Halvorsen in the latest issue of the department's IT magazine.
In the article, Halvorsen said the decision was made after analysis of the "type of data stored in the portal, the ease of access due to significantly faster response times, security and cost." He added that it was the first step in "moving unclassified data to a commercial hosting environment."
Overall, it will cost half as much to operate the portal via Amazon's cloud.
"The DON first considered a government site to host the portal but found that commercial sites are less expensive," Halvorsen wrote. "Further, congressional guidance requires the department to evaluate and select commercially provided services that meet security standards and are less expensive than what it costs to perform those services internally. As a result, the DON has achieved a 50 percent reduction in cost to operate the portal."
Halvorsen said the move to AWS is the "first case of the DON placing low-risk, public-facing data on a commercial server to save money" and hinted that it would not be the last, saying the department would continue to explore similar options.
AWS is no stranger to the federal market and has more than 300 customers at the local, state and federal levels.

Configuration :
Mac OSX 10.7.5 on a Mac Mini mid 2010.
I installed MobileGo a while ago, a backup solution for Android, and I am using Spotify for music streaming. Important : I am also using Soundsticks speakers to output my music by USB.
This morning, I noticed that my speakers were acting weird, the music played for ± 2 minutes, and then stopped : no more sound on the speakers. I had to unplug / replug to get it work again (for 2 extra minutes).
I checked the console, and I have noticed these error triggered every 1m40s :
18/03/13 09:27:06,762 com.apple.launchd.peruser.505: (com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon[3455]) posix_spawn("/Users/mjugan12/Library/Application Support/wondershare_mobilego/MobileGoDaemon.app", ...): Permission denied

09:27:06,764 com.apple.launchd.peruser.505: (com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Result: exact same timing than my speakers' breaks.
Note : this error happens even if my speakers are unplugged || Spotify is not launched.
I uninstalled MobileGo and MobileGoDaemon with AppZapper. Didn't fixed, but I now have :
18/03/13 10:18:47,866 com.apple.launchd.peruser.505: (com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon[8011]) posix_spawn("/Users/mjugan12/Library/Application Support/wondershare_mobilego/MobileGoDaemon.app", ...): No such file or directory
I though AppZapper would have remove all the daemon calls, but no.
I've found this and this topics, searched for any pList about MobileGoDaemon, didn't find anything else.
Last step, I located
com.apple.launchd.peruser.505(505 is my user ID) in
private/var/db/launchdb.db/, found the
override.plist, and didn't see
com.wondershare.mobilegodaemonanywhere. I tried to add :

Picked up one a couple years ago for a decent price when I was staying down the street from CDNN. Lots of fun to shoot and that picture of the muzzle flash is pretty accurate. Still glad I bought one...
Yeah, you can replace the items that break with RPM items and wait until the next weak link pops up. Unless you're an idiot like me and replaces everything first before it even runs. A lot of fun on...
I love my M&P AR. I've never had a jam with it going through many rounds.
That is true but for the price, why not.
That's why it looks so familiar. I have a Mueller on mine also. I'll post up a pic when I get back into town.
What scope is that? That looks a lot like my 10-22 build.
I just picked up one of these from the Lego store. I can't wait to put it together. :)
And 10k has been hit.
I'm eager to fire off a few rounds when I get back home and try this out. At least I'll have a FN5.7 pistol to try the same ammo at the same time.
It's escaping me now since I'm out of town and don't have the rifle with me but I'm pretty sure my casings never looked like that swollen one, and that was with SS192, SS195, and SS197 ammo run...
The 5.7 upper comes with it's own buffer. Never tried it with the regular AR buffer I had.
They are fun tack drivers at 100yds. Modify a spare steel AR15 magazine and that will hold roughly 75 empty casings before you have to empty it. A lot of fun all around.
I'm not a huge Vodka fan but I wouldn't turn down Chopin if offered. I'm quite fond of it if I'm going to drink Vodka straight.
You would be dealing with a very flaky company if they decide to not renew your policy because of comprehensive claims, unless those claims are suspicious. Most comprehensive claims are a result of...
I should have clarified my initial response. I'm looking for a telescopic scope. I'm not looking to break the bank but willing to spend a little if it means good returns in terms of quality.
If you have comprehensive with SF, it's covered. I know because I've been looking at flood cars from Long Island before the storm hit.
Wish I would have seen that one before I left Texas. I could have driven over and picked one up.
I'm looking for suggestions for a scope for my Ruger 10/22. I'm not looking for the cheapest scope out there but more for the best bang for the buck. I see a lot of choices out there but would like...
I was actually wondering about the question of proper size.
Thanks for the help so far. How much more would my budget have to be for a decent full suspension bike? Would it be worth it?

More than 13,000 animals captivate visitors in the heart of Berlin. The exotic animal houses and naturalistic enclosures are home to rare animals such as gorillas and kiwis.
As if Berlin didn't have enough sights and attractions to offer – the zoo is a real crowd-pleaser too! More than three million people a year come to this lush 35-hectare site to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The people of Berlin have a close relationship with their zoo and its residents.
The zoo here is one of the oldest in Germany and among the ten oldest around the world. Nowhere else can you see so many different types of animal in such an amazing world of sounds, smells, colours and experiences.
Forgetting the animals for one moment, the zoo itself offers a fine reflection of the past 160 years of zoological architecture: from the historical menagerie and exotic-style buildings to the modern animal enclosures.
There is also an art nouveau aquarium, spread over three levels, which takes you on an expedition from the Great Barrier Reef with its tropical reef sharks to the crocodiles in the Amazon jungle. Every couple of days or so, the zookeepers announce the arrival of an adorable new baby animal, which often become the stars of the zoo and firm favourites with visitors from around the world!

Hi Guys
Great plugin thanks for making everyone's lives a little easier.
Not sure if this is the correct place to put in a feature request so please let me know if there is a more appropriate area.
Being able to have different "SUBMIT" text for each form would be an excellent addition to this plugin as not every form works well with the same text.
form 1 "SUBMIT"
form 2 "DOWNLOAD"
form 3 "Ask Us How"
etc more appropriate text for each landing page to grab the readers attention.
so i guess an area within each form to change the submit button text would "ROCK".
thanks for listening.

Yes, I have the same problem with newforms-admin branch after the 6613/4 merge. Specifically the problem seems to be with having picked up the fix for #5104. Now checkboxes, if they are not checked, are returning a value of False instead of None from value_from_datadict. But this makes BaseForm.is_empty (a newforms-admin specific function? I can't find it on trunk...) think that the form is not entirely empty, leading to the validation errors instead of just ignoring the empty edit-inline forms. Sorry, though, I have no idea what the correct fix might be.
comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
- Cc brosner@… added
I can verify this is a problem too. I have currently working on a fix since I need it for work. If someone else can get to it faster that would be great. Good catch Karen, it does look like like adding False to the list of checks:
However, I haven't tested that to know if it works. Will do so tomorrow.
comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by Karen Tracey <kmtracey@…>
Yes, adding False to that list of "empty" values does fix the problem, in that the extra empty edit-inline items are not flagged as invalid. I just don't know if there are any other field types that might return False where False is not equivalent to "not specified". If there are, then the fix would make is_empty potentially start returning True for forms that are not entirely empty. Perhaps not likely (you'd need a form whose only specified field was this hypothetical set-to-False one)...but given my unfamiliarity with forms and fields it seems possible. Or maybe I'm just imagining the potential problem....
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Ah, that is a good point I had not thought of ;) Well, it looks like this is now finally addressing another problem with the InlineFormSets which should not be displaying a deletion checkbox for add forms. That looks to be the correct fix as well as fixing that issue in general. I will get to work on a patch now.
comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by jkocherhans
After thinking about this for a couple of days, I think an is_empty method on fields is the way to go, and then the form level is_empty would call field.is_empty(). The current implementation of that method is a total hack and now is probably a good time to clean it up. I won't be able to get to it for awhile, but it should be a fairly straightforward (but lengthy) patch if someone else wants to take it on. I would be happy to field questions.
I'll try to get my form_for_queryset patch + tests committed in the next couple of days so people can add to that test suite instead of creating a new one.
comment:6 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Wouldn't it make more sense to put the is_empty method on the individual widgets?
comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by jkocherhans
Actually, yes. That would make a lot more sense. Maybe I should look at code before writing replies instead of waving my hands around. :)
comment:8 Changed 9 years ago by Karen Tracey <kmtracey@…>
Ah, good. I had a long car ride this morning where I came to the tentative conclusion that the individual [fields or widgets, I didn't know which] ought to be answering the question "are you empty?". Glad to see I wasn't totally out in left field in my thinking there. Brian I'd be happy to test out a patch if you'd find that helpful.
comment:9 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Great. I am working on a patch now. I will post something soon. Karen, that would be very helpful since it seems we are a few of the handful of people using newforms-admin ;)
Changed 9 years ago by brosner
adds an is_empty to widget classes w/tests.
comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Ok, I have attached a patch that passes all tests and seems to work fine with inline models. I think it would be correct behavior for the CheckboxInput to return as empty when the value is not True. I did the same thing with NullBooleanSelect since it is similar to CheckboxInput that cleans the data in value_from_datadict. Let me know if shouldn't be the correct behavior. I also created an is_empty method on MultiWidget to handle the hacked cases in the original is_empty method in BaseForm.
comment:11 follow-up: ↓ 12 Changed 9 years ago by Karen Tracey <kmtracey@…>
I've had just a brief bit of time to try out the patch and it works for me so far. One oddity I noticed is if you have 3 "additional" edit-inline forms, and try to use the 2nd one for adding a new item (while leaving the 1st entirely empty), it doesn't work. All the required fields on the first one are flagged "this field is required". Is this behavior intentional/correct...that when adding an entry you must use the "additional" forms in order?

That behavior is intentional. The validator works through the add forms backwards and once it finds a non-empty one, all the rest are required.
comment:13 Changed 9 years ago by akaihola
- Cc akaihol+djtick@… added
- Has patch set
The patch works at least in my fairly straightforward case and applies cleanly to rev 6718. BTW, a kinda related bug is #5919 -- adding new instances with inlines is broken.
comment:14 Changed 9 years ago by akaihola
I noticed a slight usability problem. I have a related model which only has a foreign key to the parent model and an e-mail field. So in the inline view I see the e-mail field and the delete checkbox. If I both clear the e-mail field and check the delete checkbox, I get a validation error for the blank e-mail address, which doesn't make sense since I'm removing it anyway.
comment:15 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Interesting point. Sounds like the deletion needs to happen before any validation. akaihola, could you open a new ticket about that. That is unrelated to this ticket, but is a good point. I'd hate for this ticket to be fixed and your issue doesn't get fixed as it should.
comment:16 Changed 9 years ago by akaihola
Another observation: if the inlined model has a BooleanField with default=True, you can't save the parent object unless you clear the checkboxes for that field on the blank items.
comment:17 Changed 9 years ago by Øyvind Saltvik <oyvind@…>
The boolean problem is with the add forms, right?
comment:18 Changed 9 years ago by brosner
Yes, I came across that as well. I have actually opened a ticket to fix that problem with a BooleanField and other fields with a default value. Take a look at #5878.
comment:19 Changed 9 years ago by jkocherhans

"The doctor came in and told me that she had actually had two strokes during the week that no one had known about (and that) they would have to take her into brain surgery to stop that bleeding," President McKee said. "He told me that she probably wouldn't make it through the surgery; that's when we started calling our children — we had four with us there and we called the other six and they all flew in."
One of the McKees' sons, Scott, flew to Tennessee a few days earlier to take care of his younger sisters who were living without their parents in the mission home since that Thursday.
"I flew out from Boise and that just seemed to be the longest flight ever because I didn't know what to expect," Scott McKee said. "I don't think the kids or anyone knew how serious the situation was. When I first saw her she could speak in a whisper, but you really couldn't understand her. I just remember going in and giving her a hug and talking to her and it was a scary experience for me. Honestly, I didn't think she would make it."
As doctors performed Sister McKee's brain surgery, the family faced difficult questions as to how and if she would recover. Doctors told President McKee that they stopped most of the bleeding in her brain and also that they had to remove a portion of her brain during the procedure. Sister McKee had also put herself into a self-induced comatose state. The doctor said, "She just may stay this way I can't promise you anything."
The family sang hymns for her in the hospital and kept a hopeful outlook.
"We had a spiritual time together as we gathered around Sister McKee's bed and sang and shared spiritual insights. I am sure that Sister McKee could hear the music," President McKee wrote on the family blog in November 2012. "For now Sister McKee is resting peaceful. We have seen very minimal movement of arms or legs but are also told that this may take a few days. I am very clear that the Lord is in charge and that He will guide us through this situation."
But "a few days" in a comatose state turned into three weeks.
"Her brain surgeon said it would usually take 24-48 hours before she would wake from her coma but within 48 hours we didn't see anything happen. There was just nothing, and that scared us because they just said that if we didn't see any improvement by then she may never come out of that coma," Scott McKee said. "Then we had another doctor come in and tell us that her body just went through a heart attack, two strokes, and when your body does that, your body's just going to shut down and it just needs time to heal. That gave us a new hope, and we just waited."
During the wait, President McKee set up his computer and other office tools inside his wife's hospital room. He held mission-related meetings inside her room as well as led them over the phone. When he had to attend zone conferences and other meetings, his children would stay in the hospital to watch Sister McKee.
"I would go and stay up at the hospital and we kept someone with her 24 hours a day," President McKee said. "We never left her side."
While Sister McKee was in her comatose state, her family began to notice and celebrate her tiny movements. Scott McKee recalled one night when his father called all of his children from the hospital.
"(He) said, 'You're not going to believe this but her right toe moved,' and we just got so excited for that, I think that was probably the first movement," Scott McKee said. "Then about a week later you'd be able to kind of communicate with her — 'Mom, if you can hear me, wiggle your toe,' so she'd start to wiggle her toe or move her finger, but she was still in a comatose state and couldn't obviously talk or anything, but we would just wait for the next little movement that she would make."
Sister McKee's movements became more frequent and she gradually came out of her comatose state. Her family worked to help her regain abilities and skills she had before her strokes.

I love you, city
I just want to echo Amy's enthusiasm for Cal Anderson Park — it's incredible. It's so weird and beautiful. It's restored my faith in the city. The fences have been down for three days now, and I've spent good time each day there — working, mostly, but also just feeling generally glad to be alive. Last night, after the bars closed, a friend of a friend climbed the volcano fountain, stood at the top, and punched the air like a champion, even as his shoes and pants filled with water. A guy sitting outside his building across the street applauded.

Product Description
Canada's tarsands are one of the handful of focal points that will decide the planet's environmental future―because there's a huge pool of carbon there, but also because, as Jeff Gailus makes clear in this revealing book, there's an epic struggle between a government that's a subsidiary of the fossil fuel industry, and a citizenry that's increasingly seeing through their lies.―Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and author of The End of Nature(2012-10-01)
Little Black Lies is a must read for Canadians who believe as I do that a healthy democracy can only function if based on fact, not unsubstantiated drivel.―David W. Schindler, Killam Memorial Chair and Professor of Ecology at the University of Alberta and co-author of The Algal Bowl: Overfertilization of the World's Freshwaters and Estuaries(2012-10-01)
Jeff Gailus has a finely tuned bullsh*t detector and a sharp tongue. He exposes and explains the disingenuous and dangerous propaganda spewed forth by Big Oil and Canadian governments in their attempt to greenwash Alberta's tar sands.―David R. Boyd, Adjunct Professor, Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser University and author of The Environmental Rights Revolution: A Global Study of Constitutions, Human Rights, and the Environment(2012-10-01)
Little Black Lies is a painstaking depiction of how the Canadian government's oil sands obsession, coupled with the United States' oil addiction, has smashed aside the once-vaunted environmental safeguards of both nations, enabling Big Oil to wreak havoc upon the health, safety, political discourse, and civil society of two failing democracies. Under these extraordinarily dark circumstances, Gailus' call for a resistance that matches the monomania of tar sands boosterism is simple common sense.―David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K and The River Why(2012-10-01)
This well-written and engaging book examines what the author calls the war on truth around the issue of oil and specifically in relation to Alberta's tar/oil sands. Gailus looks at how rhetoric and public relations have taken over the dialogue from science-based facts. He shows how both sides of the debate have been guilty of this, but concentrates more on the larger and more egregious incidents produced by the pro oil-sands side. Key references, additional reading and endnotes are included.―BC Books for BC Schools, 2014-2015(2012-10-01)

Jonathan Ross confirms Fable III voiceover
Jonathan Ross has confirmed via Twitter that he's recorded some voiceover work for Fable III.
First our hero John Cleese and now Ross? What a great move by Lionhead.
Here's the tweet:
'Gotta go. Am doing Fable3 today! What larks, Pip!'
Throw Mr. Darcy or King Arthur in the mix, and you can bet your bippy that we're locking ourselves up with the game come the holidays.
Especially since it supports Natal and all. Rawr.

Are there any differences between formatting a drive in Windows XP vs. 7?
closed as not constructive by Simon Sheehan, studiohack♦ Dec 2 '11 at 22:47
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Nope. Use the same tools to format in Windows 7 as in XP.
Yes, Windows XP will not align the sectors to 4KB which is harmful for performance if you use a Solid State Disk drive, or a new Advanced Format standard hard drive with 4KB sectors.
Windows 7 formatted NTFS partition has a higher version number of NTFS than Windows XP. The higher the version of NTFS, the more features are available. For example, symbolic links are not supported in the NTFS on Windows XP but it does in Windows Vista (and 7). There may be a backward compatibility issues if you try to use the coolest features offered in Windows 7 on an older OS.

I've recently set up an ArchLinux system at work and added the ArchHaskell repo. This is far from the first time I do this. I have a number of systems where it's worked just fine, but this last time it did not. The signed repo database file, which is a gzipped tar-ball on the server, arrives as a straight tar-ball on my system. This of course prevents
pacman's signature checking.
The strange this is that the other repo databases, e.g.
[core], do arrive gzipped just like they should!
I've tried downloading the same file using
wget and
curl -O, in both cases the file also arrives un-gzipped!
As far as I can judge the only difference between my machines where I don't have this behaviour, and the one where I do, is that they are on different networks (i.e. at home vs. at work). I haven't had a chance to move the work system onto a different network yet, but I thought I'd ask this question even before doing that.
What on earth could explain this strange behaviour?
- On my work system this one, out of 4,
pacmanrepo databases arrives un-gzipped.
- It arrives un-gzipped when using
curl -Omanually.
- It does not arrive un-gzipped on ArchLinux systems on other networks.

Groups Ask FCC To Reform Set-Top Box Market, Say New Rules Could Save Consumers Billions Every Year
While the cable industry hasn't fessed up to how much it makes leasing set-top boxes to their customers, in July, lawmakers crunched some numbers and found that it could be a $20 billion industry, with consumers paying up to $232 every year on that equipment. Two advocacy groups are now asking the Federal Communications Commission to begin a rulemaking proceeding to reform the video set-top box market, saying cable and pay-TV companies are overcharging consumers by $6 billion to $14 billion annually.

Verizon, Sprint Customers Have Until Dec. 31 To Claim A Piece Of The $158M Cramming Settlement Pie
The holidays can be a tiring, stressful time, full of never-ending checklists. While you might have checked off plenty of your to-do items, if you're a Verizon or Sprint customer, you'll want to make sure you add "check to see if I'm eligible for a bill-cramming refund," to the top of your list.

Verizon Wireless Asks FCC For Permission To Start Offering WiFi Calling

AT&T Gets The Go-Ahead From FCC To Enable WiFi Calling For iPhones

Sprint Stops Throttling Data Speeds As Net Neutrality Goes Into Effect
Net neutrality only became well and truly legal on June 12, and yet already the new rules are prompting change: Sprint stopped intermittently throttling data speeds for its heaviest wireless Internet users during busy times as of Friday, the same day the Federal Communications Commission's net-neutrality rules went into effect.

FCC Fines CenturyLink $16M, Intrado Communications $1.4M For Actions During Massive 911 Outage
Last month the Federal Communications Commission ordered Verizon to pay $3.4 million for failing to alert authorities of a preventable programming error that left nearly 11 million people in seven states without access to emergency services for six hours in 2014. While Verizon's fine was decidedly hefty, it pales in comparison to the $16 million penalty the agency just levied against CenturyLink for the same 911 outage. [More]
FCC Proposes $640,000 Fine For AT&T's Violation Of Airwave License Rules

FCC Fines ESPN, Viacom $1.4M For Improper Use Of Emergency Alert Tones
Hearing the emergency alert warning tones blaring from your television typically makes you take immediate notice (and immediately hit the Mute button).

FCC Proposes Some Consumer Protections As They Inch Closer To Killing Off Copper Landlines
Phones are wireless, consumers are cutting back, and copper is expensive: all are reasons why the big phone companies want permission from the FCC to walk away from old-fashioned landline networks and to keep moving toward an internet-based future. The FCC tentatively agrees, and voted 3-2 today to take another baby step in the process that will end up making the nation's century-old copper landline network obsolete. [More]
FCC Pauses Review Of Both Media Mega-Mergers Because Content Companies Won't Share Confidential Info
The slowly-turning wheel of the approvals process for two big media mergers has temporarily ground to a halt, as the FCC today announced delays in their reviews of both AT&T's planned acquisition of DirecTV and also the Comcast/Time Warner Cable union. The delays in both proceedings stem from the same core issue: media content companies who don't want their rivals to learn their secrets. [More]
Media Companies Afraid To Leave Public Comments Privately Tell FCC Why The Comcast/TWC Merger Stinks
Plenty of big companies have left lengthy public comments explaining their opposition to Comcast buying Time Warner Cable. Still, though, not everyone who is afraid of the potential consequences of the merger is able to go air their grievances publicly. Media organizations that usually love announcing their opinions to anyone and everyone have been suspiciously silent on the matter, perhaps, as Sen. Al Franken suggested, due to fears of retaliation from their largest business partner. But just because those companies aren't filing public comments doesn't mean that they're in love with the merger, and they may be telling a very different story behind closed doors. [More]
Lawmakers Wade Into Fight Over FCC Chair's Potential Plan To Overturn Bans On Municipal Broadband
Not very much happens in Washington, D.C. in August.

San Miguel Reports First Quarterly Loss Since 2008 on Weak Peso
San Miguel Corp., the largest Philippine company, posted its first quarterly loss since the period ended December 2008 as a weaker peso led to a foreign-exchange deficit.
Net loss was 6.6 billion pesos ($151 million) in the second quarter ended June 30, compared with a profit of 5.65 billion pesos a year earlier, according to figures derived from first-half results announced yesterday by the Manila-based company. Sales fell 4.4 percent to 179.2 billion pesos.
The strengthening of the dollar against the local currency resulted in an "unrealized" foreign-exchange loss in the first half, the company said yesterday in a statement. The company and its units have 243 billion pesos of debt due by 2018, about 149 billion pesos of which are denominated in dollars, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"It could only be the debt," said Astro del Castillo, managing director at Manila-based First Grade Holdings Inc. "The company needs to re-strategize to address that debt issue."
San Miguel shares fell 0.5 percent to 84 pesos at the close in Manila yesterday, before the results were released. The shares have fallen 20 percent this year, compared with the benchmark Philippine stock index's 11 percent gain. San Miguel is the second-worst performer among 30 companies in the Philippine Stock Exchange Index this year.
Falling Peso
The peso has fallen 6 percent this year and is the worst-performing currency in the region after the yen and the Indian rupee. It fell 5.5 percent in the three months ended June, halting five quarters of gains, according to Tullett Prebon Plc. The drop last quarter was the most in five years.
First-half loss was 2.4 billion pesos on sales of 357.5 billion pesos, San Miguel said in its statement yesterday, without giving year-earlier numbers. First-half profit last year was 13.89 billion pesos on sales of 329.5 billion pesos, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Excluding foreign-exchange losses, recurring net income was "sustained" at 7.8 billion pesos in the first half, the company said. Operating income increased 19 percent to 28.9 billion pesos, it said.
"Forex losses mask the solid performance we had in our business," Chairman Eduardo Cojuangco said in the statement. "We remain bullish about our underlying performance."
San Miguel, which started as a brewer more than a century ago, has made more than $5.6 billion worth of purchases since 2008 as it expanded into industries such as airlines, oil and power to triple the return it used to get from food and drinks.
The Southeast Asian nation's most acquisitive company plans to raise about $4 billion by selling power assets, to help fund its transformation from a brewer and foodmaker into an investor in energy, mining, airlines and roads, President Ramon Ang said in a July 12 interview.
The company is seeking to increase revenue to $50 billion pesos in five years after last year's 30 percent gain to $16 billion, missing a $20 billion goal.
The sale of 64.3 million Manila Electric shares last month resulted in a gain of 9.6 billion pesos, San Miguel said.

Spending less time sitting down could help you live longer.
At least, that's what a new study in the British Medical Journal Open suggests.
Researchers say reducing your sitting time to less than three hours a day could tack on an extra two years to your life.
They say limiting TV time to two hours a day could add on more than a year.
Researchers looked at several previous studies that examined 167-thousand men and women ages 18 to 90 across the globe.
They also studied the health risks of sitting and how prevalent inactive behavior is in the U.S.
Researchers say their findings do not prove that being a couch potato will cause you to die younger.
