Global growth hit a soft patch at the start of 2015. In the first quarter it slowed to 2.0 percent, quarter on quarter (q/q) annualized, from 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014. ... See More + The slowdown was reflected in a decline in global manufacturing activity, on the back of weak industrial production and goods trade data, especially in large emerging markets. Among high-income countries, economic activity is strengthening. Euro Area growth picked up to 1.6 percent in the first quarter of 2015 from 1.3 percent the previous quarter. Growth in Japan accelerated to 2.4 percent in the first quarter from 1.1 percent in the previous quarter. For the second quarter, despite the uncertainty surrounding Greece, the Euro Area Composite PMI in July remained close to a four-year high. Confidence indicators for the second quarter point to further improvements, while indicators in Japan also suggest continued, albeit moderate, growth. See Less -
Working Paper 98880 AUG 14, 2015
The global economic recovery remains uneven, as growth in the United States is gaining momentum but appears to be at risk of stalling in the Euro Area and Japan. ... See More + U.S. growth is expected to gain pace over the rest of the year and into 2015 as employment prospects boost real income growth and confidence. Following the Euro Areas exit from recession in 2013, GDP was flat in 2014, and preliminary data for the third quarter suggest slowing growth momentum amid weak domestic demand, ongoing balance sheet adjustments, a fragmented banking sector, and rising geopolitical risks. In Japan, a sales tax hike in April caused a more significant contraction in activity than expected, while exports failed to pick up. See Less -
Working Paper (Numbered Series) 92167 NOV 01, 2014
In its National Development Plan 2030 and its New Growth Path (2011), South Africa identifies the export sector as an engine for faster, more inclusive, and job-intensive growth. ... See More + The National Development Plan is targeting export volume growth of 6 percent a year, to achieve an annual increase in real Gross Domestic Product, or GDP growth of about 5.5 percent and to help generate 11 million new jobs by 2030. Despite successes in some subsectors, South Africa will need to greatly improve its export performance to meet these targets. The report highlights opportunities for growth, particularly with Sub-Saharan Africa being the largest market for non-mineral exports. It also explores strategic directions that can ignite export growth and help South Africa realize its goals of creating jobs and reducing poverty and inequality. See Less -
Working Paper (Numbered Series) 84369 JAN 01, 2014
Purfield, Catriona Mary; Farole, Thomas; Im, Fernando Disclosed
Conditions in global financial markets have eased since mid-2012, reflecting improvements in fiscal sustainability and the establishment of mutual support mechanisms in the European Union (EU), even as the global economic recovery remains fragile and susceptible to downside risks. ... See More + South Africa's growth slowed from 3.5 percent in 2011 to 2.5 percent in 2012, reflecting primarily the sluggish external environment and domestic labor strife. Growth declined in 8 of the 10 major subsectors. Researchers, policymakers, and other financial sector stakeholders are becoming more interested in the transformative power of financial inclusion. In South Africa, expanding access to financial services for individuals and small enterprises could reduce the country's persistent income inequality and stimulate growth. South Africa, as Africa's only G20 member and as one of the BRICS, plays an influential global role, and progress in financial inclusion could thus have an important demonstration effect. While formal financial institutions offer an array of financial services, this Update focuses on formal payments, savings, and credit. Financial inclusion is vital because of the role of financial services in helping individuals and firms withstand income shocks and smooth spending. A well-functioning financial system produces and processes information on investment opportunities and allocates capital based on these assessments; monitors individuals' and firms' performance after allocating capital; facilitates the trading, diversification, and management of risk; mobilizes and pools savings; and eases the exchange of goods, services, and financial instruments.

Working Paper (Numbered Series) 78162 MAY 01, 2013
Section one provides an economic update and assesses the challenges and near-term prospects facing the South African economy. In particular, it looks at the implications for South Africa of the resurgence of uncertainty in global financial markets, the surge in capital flows to safe-haven assets, the continuing Euro zone crisis, and signs of slowdown in some of the large emerging market economies. ... See More + Section two focuses on inequality of opportunity in South Africa. For the first time, using innovative techniques, this section presents an analysis of the interlinked inequality of opportunities for children and for access to employment. Every society has a degree of inequality of outcomes that reflects differences in innate human capabilities, effort, education, experience, and skills. But a recognized goal for public policy is to ensure at least the equality of opportunity for every individual in a country. Many countries have used this new approach to develop targeted policies to promote such equality of opportunity and to monitor and evaluate the success of public programs. See Less -

Revitalift Complete Eye Cream is a water- and silicone-based moisturizer for normal to dry skin anywhere on the face. It is fragrance-free, as claimed. The tiny amount of vitamin A is the only antioxidant, though jar packaging won't keep it stable. Of course, nothing in this product will lift skin or reduce puffy eyes.
Dramatically smoothes lines and surface wrinkles in just 2 weeks, firms skin within six hours, reduces the "morning puffy look" with no greasy after-feel and is dermatologically tested, ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens wearers and fragrance free.

L'Oreal Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly prices; good makeup removers; wide assortment of self-tanning options; one of the best, most comprehensive makeup collections at the drugstore, with superb options in almost every category; the mascaras are a tough act to follow.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging hinders some of the skincare formulas; many of their skincare formulas contain problematic amounts of fragrance and/or other irritants; exaggerated anti-aging claims.
L'Oreal's extensive makeup collection retains its stature as one of the better selections at the drugstore, though they have stiff competition from Revlon and, in some cases, sister company Maybelline New York. In recent years L'Oreal has made significant strides with foundation shades, powder textures, concealers, and, of course, superlative mascaras that rarely fail to impress. Their lipsticks are excellent and you will find many L'Oreal makeup products have a Lancome counterpart, and that the differences are minor—if there are any at all.
L'Oreal's displays in many drugstores reflect better-organized products and shade categories (though testers are still scarce). Given the number of lipsticks they sell, it only makes sense to put them in color families so consumers have a better shopping experience. Their True Match products are also sensibly laid out, but the rest of the foundations aren't as organized, likely due to the smaller selection of shades. Speaking of foundations, L'Oreal has made further strides by offering more that provide sufficient UVA protection. Revlon still has the edge for consistently launching impressive foundations with sunscreen, but at least L'Oreal is (finally) catching up.
The bottom line is that every category of L'Oreal's makeup has some winning (and in some cases, benchmark-setting) products.
Unfortunately, despite the brands' enormous presence in the beauty industry, L'Oreal's moisturizers and treatment products are a nearly all unremarkable and repetitive. When it comes to moisturizers or serums, just about anything from Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, or Aveeno is preferred. L'Oreal does well with most of their cleansers, along with scrubs and self-tanning products, but given the widespread availability and financial resources of this line, they could be doing so much more. The good news is their makeup has made major strides and now ranks as the best overall color collection at the drugstore—imagine the results if their skin care followed suit.

Re: A final throw of the Minty dice before

I have two old codgers on Linux and both have less issues than my windows users. You see, if you have never used a M$ OS there is nothing to relearn ( or to forget).
Sorry my mistake. The years roll on too fast these days. I did mean 14.04 (and not 12.04), so I was a bit surprised when only 15.10 seemed to work.
kubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 works
Xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 ( PVR + mythtv + kodi) (intel atom x 4). No upgrade
Kubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 ( i7) . No Upgrade
I think the kubuntu chaps are still preparing the 14.04 to 16.04 upgrade docs.
Yes sometimes it is best to wait. Depends on what procument and software bashing you are planned to do in the next few months. It think it will be another year before I upgrade to 16.04 for web-servers.
Some laptops which need a bit of work already will get it sooner.
Yeah Backup and Archive are two different things. I use RestoreSure because I can get older revisions back and users can restore ther own files without all the gettting an Admin involved.
Or threaten to upgrade its OS to Windows 10 and stop .net 4 security updates
Yet another paid for app I will now have to uninstall
I found my DASM cartridge in May when I had to move house. I loved the Dragon 32. I will try to get it running again over xmas. I wish I had rescued more of the programs now! Remember Donkey kong, Phantoms.
Viewranger is the best I find for walking and it uses OS map tiles off-line and open street maps.
Yes I have found FreeRTOS to be very good also on the ST Arm chips. Also there is good task and Queue support on the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.
Just get a code signing cert and sign the exe and dll. Package with an installer using the code cert there. Warning will vanish.2 years for 120 quid.
Tripitaka I think. Possibly one good use of a "Cloud"
You could but it would take a long time having custom ASIC inside. I still have a psion netbook running epoc and a development one running debian ( before they got desperate and tried a CE port ).
Anyone interested it is just gathering dust?
I agree with you on this one. One problem that is not well know is that adobe made the latest flash require SSE2 CPU extension. So older PC can not play flash any more.
So for a usable Linux intall you need CPU with SSE2, 1GB Ram, SATA1 disk ( get a £60 SSD hybrid for ebuyer ). 64 bit and dual core is a nice to have, a CD rom drive. Distros that run well are SolusOS, Debian and Kubuntu.
You run AVG! good luck with that. You know firewall don't stop zero day exploits? Guess you wont be running an software built on higher than .net 4 then.
Hi Bob, good plan but.... I started to see blank video on BBC iplayer and youtube when using the latest flash on Debian and Ubuntu based distros (gnash was not good enough) when instaling on older PC's.
Currently Adobe have screwed older Linux PC's that don't have SSE2 in the CPU and don't seem to care.
See below
Considering that manufactures of DECT and Mobile phones are still getting the designs so wrong for older and disabled people, this never had a chance of working.
Basic stuff they get wrong for people with parkinsons, memory problems and deaf:
1) Automatic answer and put on speaker phone at loudest volume. Why this cant be done staggers me.
2) Speak time and DATE every 30 minutes during the daytime for people that have memory problems
No point on having gps stuff if the person cant remember to pick up the phone. Much better to have camera tracking in the home to check against falls.
Thanks for the fantastic SF. Here is to you.
Thanks PaulyV. It was Astron Belt. As you say stunning only 5 years after Space Invaders. Now does anyone remember that 3D film Treasure of the Four Crowns a bit later that blew me away at the time.
Well now stuck on Crysis 3, but still enjoying Skyrim at level 51, off to write some code now.
I remember playing Space Invader with my mates through the night like until 5am and the next day just hearing space invaders all the time. The Tron and Star Wars arcade games that popped up later got lots of attention from me too.
Now there was a video disc arcade game on Margate Pier, I can't remember the name of ( leading edge at the time ) that was fantastic, but not as profit generating as the penny tilt machines ;-)
Nick Frost playing the doctor like in "Attack The Block"
Try http://www.solusos.com it is good on low resource PCs
I suspect that many of these systems use convertors because they are a bit legacy and do not have the credential functionality built in to the main control software. Some will be truly distributed and will need to be connected from different IP addresses while others can be locked down to a single IP. Even in the locked down case it will still be vulnerable from man in the middle routing attacks if the packets are not encrypted. The safest way in the single IP case would be to have paired convertors, doing certificate based SSL. This would mean the two legacy systems being connected would not need software change, just best practice IT configuration control and some routing rules.
I hope they keep on making Trackball. They stopped the wired USB ones some time ago. Less and less trackball around every year now.
Nice list. But even better with WizzBall and GoldenAxe
I Still have my Dragon32 and a DASM cartridge in a cupboard somewhere. I liked the 6809 stuff back then in my teens. I bet it still works though finding a working tape deck will be more problematic. You could speed up the CPU but loose the video with a simple asm write or poke.
RIP Mike. Thanks for LoM it burned my hours as a youth and kept me entertained.
Harry thank you for getting me hooked on to SF, somthing that endures.
RIP Slippery Jim
Just gave new FF (on a LG X2, kernel 220.127.116.11 Cyanogenmod Android 2.3.7) a go and it is a LOT faster than the older version, even a bit faster than the Google browser.
It must be "Return of the Barbarian Women"
I bet the software will cost more than the hardware unless there is an itrash app for 50p.
Do you mean I2C?
If it is I2C then I guess connecting 2/3 wires could be required to change the clock speed.
Be more worried about a flash USB stick with HID built in. Send the stick to several people in a company, some sucker sees a free stick plugs it in, the HID part sends the key macros for the exploit ( possibly using hidden files on the flash. I would not be surprised if they are not already out there
It would be more compeling if linkedin and skype accounts were merged and made secure under a big company.
Also take all that add rubbish out of Skype client at start up, keep the other OS clients up to date (Linux please) and make sure that the video automation is not restricted like it is at the moment (full screen video on start up).
Never use self signed certs on browser stuff it is just a road to pain when users are involved. It's ok for non browser stuff. For web stuff you will have to use a bought SSL cert for your webmail subdomain I guess or let users have unsecured email where packets can be read across the internet. let's just hope they don't send password to each other in email!
What is Apple?
The thought of S3 not being around when you have been using it since S1 is a bit frighting. I wanted Symbian to succeed but they have just had a too big gap on UI and performance ( responsiveness). It will take a bit of time for S3 to die but you have to ask yourself as a user how long are you willing to wait for a decent UI, responsiveness and regular software upgrade service. Nokia made margins out of less hardware cost because S3 EPOC could JUST ABOUT get away with it. It wont be able to do that with W7.
Good set up Linux with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop.
Good free setup with Windows is Comodo Firewall (FW only) with Microsoft Security Essentials ( for runtime protection ) and Clamwin for mail protection.
Avira free would have been my first choice on Windows if it scanned incoming email.
Micro USB may not be robust enough. On the ZTE Blade ( after a couple of months use ) the contacts have become interment, this is because of the lateral flex you get with a non-round connector. I welcome standardisation but these sockets have to be robust.
good work this year
Why not use a repeater in the middle of the field?
A 2 or 3 Draytek AP-700 (with lead acid battery and a solar panel) in repeater mode.
I have been steering home users away from AVG for some time now. Avira is quite nifty as AV and Firewall ( but you have to pay for this ). It plays well with Security Centre and has OESIS OK Certification.
Comodo is good for paranoid people like myself but I only install the firewall on home users machines as the defence notifications tend to confuse most users.
The problem with Security Essentials is the infrequent updates ( if it's not frequently updated you could be more insecure)
In the UK we owe £65,000 each (Above £4 trillion )
learn C first then C++
Here is a good book.
"A Software Engineering Approach" by Peter A. Darnell and Philip E. Margolis
You do need the passion in programming and tech to keep on doing it well. I know it is a bit unfashionable to be a "geek" but for certain jobs being a geek is a good step up ( though possibly not in UI design).
I started dicking around with computers in my teens while still at secondary school. Lucky enough to have a Dragon 32 with a DASM Demon cartridge , I wrote my first assembly invert screen program. From then on I was addicted.
Enjoyed hacking lords of Midnight on my Spectrum for lots magical items and instant teleportation ( I got a military victory before hacking it). Later on soldered in extra ram in my Atari ST ( remember Blood Money ).
Later on did some electronics then an diploma in system software. Leading in to real-time C, then C++.
Now I do C++ and C# in the day time job.
But last night I was soldering relays to the Panda Fez, progressing the automated cat flap project ( though doing it in C# just seemed like cheating ). Sometimes you are just hooked!
This is just a gimmick for Admins with a god complex Or
So this is more about data protection and revenge. The laptops are likely not to be recovered just broken up into spare parts and sold or trashed. Or is it more about hardware vendors wanting to sell more hardware that will be less likely to be reused when OS bloat makes them too slow/obsolete?
It could be possible to have dedicated CPU/Firmware/chipset in a PC that would allow a kind of pre-fetch on access AV file analysis which would speed up overall operation.
It would require some hardened software actually on the OS being protected but would accelerate the process of file scanning. Think of it as putting a scanner between the hard disk and the disk interface on the mother board. Think of it as a hardware assist for sorting out file/memory scanning ( a bit like a graphic card GPU)
They would use all three things AV expertise ( though not the windows version of the code ), real-time kernel Wind River and CPU/Chipset.
10.4 Works for me. I use the 32bit VPS Server on Xen, the kubuntu 64 bit vesion on Del Vostro 1500 and a i7 Desktop. When the kernel is updated I reinstall the nvidia driver manauly and it just seems to work well.
This gives Morris Dancers a bad name! Real ones do it without a sound system or an operating system and certainly with out hotmail ( well this one does anyway).

Hi Randall, it seems to work on my system. In 11.1.x, the setting has been added to the Test Results style.xml, so you do not need to add the text as described above. You would just need to find the "PrintItStyle" setting and change the value to 1. Be sure to save the xml file first AND then save the package to make sure the changes are saved.
 Hope this helps! --Maria

Thanks for this post, but it did not work for me in UPK Developer 11.1.0.

I tried updating style.xml within System / Publishing / Styles / User Productivity Kit / Test Results as per this blog post, however "Test Results" does not appear within the "Format for Print It! mode" drop-down.

To check functionality, I tried disabling "Job Aid" by placing 0 in the associated style.xml and Job Aid was successfully removed from the list.

However, when trying to re-enable Job Aid by changing the field back to 1, Job Aid does not re-appear in the list. I rolled back the Job Aid publishing project using menu option Document / History which successfully added back the drop-down list option.

Is there something else required to get this working?

That's a smart ID Marc.

I used to do this by removing the desktop icons, which is easy in WIndows 7, and can also be done with a registry hack in XP and use a white background.

But this is a little bit easier ;o)

One of the most common items to customize is the header and footer of any of the document types. You can change the logo, insert any Microsoft Word fields, or add static text. Note that you cannot insert bookmarks from the toolbar in the header or footer, only standard Word fields such as page number or document name. If you do put bookmarks in the header or footer, they will not be processed and will appear as static text in the published document.

Hi Paula, Context can be added to any new or existing document in the UPK Library. For sections and module documents you can add context using the Context Property which enables you to associate these document types using the context of existing topics or record a new context from a target application.

If you want to capture context for an existing topic you need to open the topic in the topic editor and use the Edit > Re-record Context IDs menu option to launch the launch the recorder to capture the context.

Once you have context IDs for the desired documents you will need to republish the content and deploy the Player using the Help Integration or Smart Help methods. For more information on using UPK to create and deploy context sensitive content, see the product documentation that installed with UPK or visit the on line documentation here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/upk/documentation/index.html

Here are some links to context specific documentation for v11.1:

In the Player, Print It! is created through the Job Aid print style. To add the Frame ID into this output, customize the Job Aid print style adding the Frame ID where you want it. Toward the end of my original post, there is a link to the bookmark reference and other material that describes how to accomplish this.

This is fantastic! We used this type of feature in Siebel SimBuilder years ago and was the simplest way for our SMEs to pinpoint changes required during reviews. However, changing the setting in the published config.js file, rather than having to republish content with or without the frame IDs displayed, is vastly better. I especially like the option to display on the fly via key combination. Thanks for including in v11 - I welcome anything that assists the review process!

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. Today's page is from Strange Tales #155, which was published by Marvel and is cover dated April 1967. Enjoy!
This is the first issue of the Nick Fury serial that Jim Steranko both wrote and drew (Roy Thomas wrote the few before this), and when I randomly pulled this trade paperback off my shelves, I decided to use this page instead of the first page I opened to. Forgive me for compromising the integrity of the randomness!
Anyway, Steranko's first pages of Nick Fury stories aren't that great, because when he cut loose, he usually did it in double- (or, you know, quadruple-) page spreads. That's not to say that this is a bad page, but it doesn't pulse with awesomeness that some of Steranko's other pages do. Check out the verbiage on the page, first of all. Strange Tales was an anthology title, so Steranko and others had 12 pages in this issue to tell all they wanted to tell. If Stan Lee's prose was purple when he had longer to write, imagine how much stuff writers had to fit in when they didn't have as many pages! So we get the obligatory hyperbolic announcement at the top of "a mighty Marvel spine-chilling, suspense-charged super-thriller of menace, mayhem, and mystery" (dang, if only all comics could promise that these days), and then Steranko takes this page to introduce … an elevator. Oh, sure, it's a cool elevator, but still. S.H.I.E.L.D. has a new toy, and we need to see it! The vortex beam may be the "last word in space-age technology," but, come on, it's an elevator. Steranko does let us know that Hydra are the bad guys and that Fury will never rest until they're completely wiped out, but the dialogue doesn't give us a lot of information. In the caption box at the bottom right, we learn that the main bad guy has taken the "guise" of famed actor Charles Bronson and is about to infiltrate the "heli-carrier," but that's about all the useful information we get from this page.
Steranko's design sense works well on the page. The title is "Death Trap," and the vortex beam is taking an unwitting Fury into said death trap. The reader knows this because of the information at the bottom of the page, but Steranko foreshadows that by showing the elevator taking Fury and the others right toward the banner. The page works counter-intuitively, as Steranko deliberately draws it so that it's oriented upward, but the dialogue moves downward, so we slow down and appreciate that he manages to make an couple of discs heading toward a big belly visually interesting. The city behind the heli-carrier is fully drawn, too, which is nice. The "beams" that raise the discs are interesting – I have no idea how Steranko created them, but it's obvious they're some other kind of media rather than pen and ink. Guys like Steranko and Kirby were experimenting with mixed media at this time, and later in this book we see some rudimentary Photoshopping when Steranko drops in a cityscape that he obviously didn't draw. I don't know how he created the beams effect, but in the 1960s, it added a veneer of technological wonder to the page, and when you're dealing with America's super-duper cutting edge spy team, that's not a bad idea. I imagine Steranko himself drew the caption box at the bottom as an arrow, making it clear that it's time to turn the page, so you better do it! Like a lot of comics of this era, this one never forgets that it is, in fact, a comic book, so even though Steranko is telling a serious story, he and Stan have a little fun with the format. You'll also notice that Editor Lee gets his name at the top of the credits. It's a good thing his ego never ran away from him!
This entire run is a visual feast, and this page gives us just a tiny taste of it. Even with not much going on, Steranko manages to get across the excitement of reading a Nick Fury comic. That's not a bad trick!
Next: I try not to editorialize too much in these posts, but tomorrow's entry is almost a perfect example of what's wrong with modern comics. Blech, say I! Find much better stuff in the archives!
I've always been in awe of Steranko's art, but can never bring myself to actually tread through all that writing. Not that its poorly written, I'm just not accustomed to that style. That, and having read Steranko's interview in DHP a little while ago, I'm totally turned off the guy.
If you compare the (re-coloured) page from the trade paperback with the original comic page, there is a difference in the beams.
The original is a constant grey with uniformally spaced vertical lines. Nothing special from Steranko. Whereas the re-coloured version has a graduated colour and looks, err, wavy. Computers were involved?
I have the same trade and was disappointed with the re-colouring. Can't complain too much as it's cheaper than the originals.
You can view the original splash page on
BitBiteOuch: Well, the Nick Fury stuff is kind of "Sixties," but it's no different than a lot of what comics in those days read like, and better than a lot of them. I don't know if you've read any Marvel stuff from the Sixties, but it's like that. Plus, the art is truly mind-blowing.
Yeah, Steranko came off like a tool in that interview, but his art on this book is, as I mentioned, mind-blowing. Give the guy a break – he's a cranky old man these days!
Mars: Thanks for that link. I think in the original, Steranko still must have used something different than pencils, but you're right – the new coloring does make it look more computer-generated. But I wonder if they didn't change the effect, just put a layer of green over it. If I knew more about comics coloring, I could probably say!
The blocky and pipe-y technology portrayed by Steranko, Kirby, and other 60's Marvel artists never ceases to impress. It has, however, succumbed to Zeerust.
The original printing looks like simple Letratone (or Zip-a-tone), though cutting it to include those tiny figures wouldn't be a simple job.
With all his visual flash Steranko wasn't an inventor of characters or concepts. Best of the Shield run is "Today Earth Died", a standard horror trope but genuinely eerie in its execution.

After the horror that was Northern Illinois University Thursday afternoon, Barack Obama announced Friday morning that, as a constitutional attorney, he supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms, thinks it doesn't only apply to the militia, and that he also plans to use California gun control legislation as a paradigm for a national policy to contain the spread of gun violence.
But, is it really possible to have it both ways? Can one support the right to bear arms, as well as implement the kind of national gun control legislation that will stem the flood of shootings on our nation's campuses, streets, and homes? Essentially, the question is, should Senator Obama become President Obama would he be prepared to take on the most powerful, and influential, congressional lobby outside of the tobacco industry, the gun lobby?
After the spate of campus killings at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and now at Northern Illinois, there is little doubt that the former president, and his attorney general brother, Robert F. Kennedy, would be hard at work on gun control legislation now.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Obama is fond of this quote from President John F. Kennedy: "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate," but is he any more ready for hand to hand combat with those who put their rifles next to Gideon's Bible in Motel 6's from Idaho to Alaska, those who are the most obstinant opponents of restrictions on the possession, manufacture, and sale of firearms? He suggests that he would support legislation on the order of gun laws implemented, in California, during Gray Davis' tenure as governor.
While California has some of the most draconian firearm laws in the country, requiring that only those handguns be sold, or manufactured, that are listed on the Bureau of Firearms approved list, it's important to remember that private sales are exempted from this restriction. Moreover, one does not need a license to own a handgun in California.
In the nation's capital, all firearms must be registered with the police, and possession of handguns is prohibited, even in one's home, unless they were registered before 1976. And, while this handgun ban is currently being challenged by those who think it violates their Second Amendment right to bear arms, the ban will remain in effect until the Supreme Court hears the case.
Importantly, with the exception of certain counties, in Illinois, site of Thursday's mass shootings, and Obama's home state, registering a firearm is not mandated by law, and a Firearm Owner's Identification Card may be easily obtained unless the applicant has been convicted of a felony, or was a mental patient within the past five years, nor is there a carry permit requirement. Notably, the gunman who randomly shot two dozen in a university lecture hall obtained his guns legally.
As one who doesn't profess to know enough about constitutional law to discuss the Second Amendment, I leave it to the Supreme Court to decide what that entitlement is. But, one can only hope that the image of the Virginia Tech shooter will be juxtaposed in the justices' memory along with the Northern Illionis University gunman, as well as others who have taken the lives of middle school students in Oxnard, and done drive-bys throughout our inner cities. One would hope that this, too, would be factored into their deliberations.
Were it possible for the founding fathers to anticipate that, two centuries after their demise, assault weapons would be used by neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, they might have been less ambiguous as to when one has a constitutional right to bear arms. Clearly, as survivors of a revolutionary war, their concept of citizen and militia must have been much different from our own.
Those who like to compare Barack Obama to John F. Kennedy, or his brother and attorney general, Robert F. Kennedy, must be reminded that, whether rightly or otherwise, President Kennedy stood up to Cuba, and Bobby Kennedy took on organized crime. We may not be sure of much, but we can count on the chutzpah of both Kennedy brothers to take on the most virulent of corporate lobbies in this country. But, forty years from now, will one be able to say the same of President Obama?
For the past eight years, we've had a President, and a Justice Department, that is too spineless to admit having taken a wrong turn with respect to our involvement in Iraq, yet is not afraid, or ashamed, to tweak the Constitution in ways that compromise freedom of expression, and due process.
For nearly a decade, the Bush administration has lip synched the neo-conservative mantra of respect for human life while, at the same time, forever changing our notion of human rights. One has only to look at the treatment Jose Padilla received in the hands of his captors to grasp that this administration has no more respect for the human rights, and dignity, of its citizens than of those it detains in Iraq, or Afghanistan.
One thing is clear, a McCain presidency will cater to the gun lobby, and not act to limit access to firearms.
What's more, if interpretation of the Second Amendment is in order, one would hope that it would be weighed heavily in favor of the preservation of human life, thus we ask Senator Obama, or any presidential nominee, to look to Washington, D.C., not to California, as a model for gun control legislation, and to work together with gun groups, and law enforcement, to get firearms out of the hands of our children, out of our classrooms, schoolyards, and streets.
If Senator Obama does become his Party's nominee, then he must distinguish himself from his Republican opponent by taking on the number one obstacle to national firearm reform, and prove his commitment to curtailing the proliferation of handguns and assault weapons.

The tradgedies mentioned here are not because it is legal to buy a gun, but rather that there was nobody armed in a gun-free zone other than the shooter.
Cars kill more people than guns. I don't propose that they be outlawed. Do you?
How are we protecting ourselves from the lawless by leaving them the only ones armed?
Comparing Washington, DC to Northern Illinois in terms of laws restricting gun ownership should include the number of shootings in both places. Guess which one has the higher incidence.
Criminalizing self defense as a defense mechanism is patently ludicrous.

The places with the most restrictive gun laws invariably have the most gun violence. The places with the least restrictive gun laws have the least amount of gun violence.

JFK's thoughts on Gun Control
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY
Lee McGee said:
sovereign citizen
Since the definition of "infringed" is the same today as it was in the 18th century when the Bill of rights was ratified, exactly what part of "shall not be infringed" do you fail to grasp?
Either the Constitution is the supreme law of the land or we live at the whim of executive decree (see torture renditions), judicial fiat (see negating Habeus Corpus), and/or legislative over-reach (see USA Patriot Act).
LarryB said:
Fine. Poof, no private citizen can own a firearm. Let's forget for the moment the estimated 250 million guns now in private hands. Wave our wand and make them go away. So what we have left is the Cops and the Criminals and one big flock of defenseless sheep. The criminals? Oh, they'll get their guns same place they get their drugs, or steal them from the cops or the military, or buy them from some illegal gun factory in someone's basement. During WWII submachine guns were manufactured in bicycle shops at a cost of about ten bucks a copy. Not that hard to do, really. And very profitable given a total prohibition. Look what it did for bootlegging after all.
So, I just gave you everything you wanted. How do you like it?
Henry said:
This article contains so many errors I cannot address them all in this limited space. For one thing, it is impossible for a citizen to carry a gun, open or concealed in IL period. The only ones who can get a permit are police, judges and politicians. IL is one of only two States that requires the additional step of getting an FOID card, then you still have to pass the FBI check and wait three days for a handgun and 24 hours for a long gun. IL ranks in the top five States for draconian gun laws.
You do not need to be a Constitutional lawyer to understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, a fluency in the English lanuage should suffice. The founders knew exactly what they were doing and would absolutely welcome the citizens owning full automatic firearms.
Bush has betrayed gun owners by having the DOJ submit a brief in Heller supporting the DC ban, not lifting it.
John McCain is no friend of gun owners.
Another call to ban the private ownership of firearms ends this tripe as if that would accomplish anything. Crimainls bt defition do not obey the law, so the weak will be easy prey for the strong and armed, insane.

An example of journalism at its worst
But, one can only hope that the image of the Virginia Tech shooter will be juxtaposed in the justices' memory along with the Northern Illionis University gunman, as well as others who have taken the lives of middle school students in Oxnard, and done drive-bys throughout our inner cities. One would hope that this, too, would be factored into their deliberations.
I would hope that the image of the defenseless students would be "juxtaposed in the justices' memory". Like shooting fish in a barrel! All of them at the mercy of lunatic gunmen who broke many gun laws in just a few minutes. Contrast that with the fact that the law-abiding students had their God-given right to self-defense (supposedly guaranteed--not given--by the constitution) taken away from them by a bunch of feel-good, look-busy bureaucrats whose self-defense is guaranteed by armed body guards. Their hypocrisy makes me ill.
Lady Jayne needs to brush up on her history. Her perspective is skewed!
RezDuane said:
Here's another great idea presented by "Lady Jayne!"
What's more, if interpretation of the Second Amendment is in order, one would hope that it would be weighed heavily in favor of the preservation of human life, thus we ask Senator Obama, or any presidential nominee, to look to Washington, D.C., not to California, as a model for gun control legislation, and to work together with gun groups, and law enforcement, to get firearms out of the hands of our children, out of our classrooms, schoolyards, and streets.
She wants to use the murder capital of the U.S. as a model for gun control legislation!
If this were meant as humor it would be hilarious! Unfortunately, it seems she is seriously presenting this as a solution, and that's a tragedy. If she thinks the body count is high now (in perspective, it's not,) think of what it would be if all of America were a "Gun Free" zone. Make that "Victim Disarmament" zone!
Lady Jayne, it's called "logic." Why don't liberals understand logic?
A Berkeley Liberal said:
It never works...
(Hey, don't paint me with the "those liberals" brush!)
I live in California, with some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation. I live right between Oakland and Richmond, two of the leading murder capitols of the nation. Gun control laws do not stop the bad guys, only the law-abiding citizen.
I am a very left-leaning liberal, more so than any of the presidential candidates in this race. But I am NOT in favor of more restrictive gun legislation.

Yes, this is a social media metric, not tightly coupled to CS, and fellow moderators are welcome to remove it. (I sometimes fail to make good decisions.) But this video is educational.
I find it interesting that many of the fraudulent countries highlighted in this video are similar to where a lot members in this community were from who we had to ban, or that Google flagged as spam before they could join. We probably even still have a few sleepers in here. In other words, they don't just play in Facebook. Google pluses are probably just as useless for business pages.

AbstractCoordination and merging of multiple distributed sensors over a communications network can substantially improve estimates of the type and severity of potential hazards for command and control (C2) decision makers. These sensors include long range instruments such as radar, infrared (IR), electro-optical, and long wave hyper spectral; short range instruments such as Raman spectrometers; and a wide array of point sensors such as ion mobility spectrometers (IMS) and chemical-resistor arrays. IR spectrometers, IMS, and Raman Spectrometers have been particularly successful at chemical detection in the past and will thus be a focus of this effort. However, in order to fully utilize this rich collection of data for threat detection and characterization, advanced algorithms are required for data fusion as such fusion is an important part of C2 decision making in WMD scenarios. Herein we propose a system for robustly computing the appropriate ambiguity measures for advanced data fusion algorithms.

Roamin Gnome is a themed slot which tells the tale of a Gnome on a world tour. The theme might sound a little whacky but it really works! With an animated background, reels and complimentary sound effects we really think it's a lot of fun. It also offers an incredible $100,000 jackpot, which would be more than enough to go on your own world tour!
Using the Roamin Gnome Slot
The total bet is shown in the bottom righthand corner. This is calculated by multiplying the 'bet' and 'lines' together. Therefore if you change either of these options your bet will be increased or decreased accordingly.
Bets, also known as coin values, vary from 0.10 to $5 and can be toggled using the up and down buttons. The lines can be configured in the same way from 1 to 30 lines per spin.
Automatic spins can be set using the console on the left. The maximum is 99 spins which play uninterrupted unless a feature is unlocked or the stop button is pressed.
Roamin Gnome Slot Features Explained
A wild symbol, themed bonus round and the Roamin Gnome (atop the slot) ensures every moment is filled with action.
The Gnome Wild Symbol can sub for all other symbols except the plane. On certain occasions the Roamin Gnome will appear above a reel. This will cause an expanding wild to appear, filling the reel which trebles your winning opportunities.
The Holiday feature is unlocked when 3 or more planes appear anywhere on the reels. You are asked to choose three destinations for the Roamin Gnome which will award either free spins or an instant win. The free spins play at the end of the round with any wins doubled.
Travel the world with Roamin Gnome on the free slot version above, then review the slot by giving it a star rating.

Beyond Analytic Philosophy
This cogent and knowledgeable critique of the tradition of modern analytic philosophy focuses on the work of its central figures—Russell, Carnap, and Quine—and finds it wanting. In its place, Hao Wang unfolds his own original view of what philosophy could and should be. The base of any serious philosophy, he contends, should take as its point of departure the actual state of human knowledge. He explains the relation of this new tradition to mathematical logic and reveals the crucial transitions and mistakes in mainstream Anglo-American philosophy that make a new approach so compelling.
Equally at home in philosophy and mathematics, Wang is uniquely qualified to take on the task of critically examining modern philosophy. He carefully traces the path of ideas from Russell and Wittgenstein through the Vienna Circle to modern British and American philosophy, and makes use of his familiarity with the profound thought of Kurt Godel with whom he has had numerous discussions. He also presents the broader significance of Russell's philosophy, provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of Quine's work in logic and in philosophy, and delineates what is common between Carnap and Quine.

I'm in the process of setting up the summer schedule. I know there will be a couple of days where we'll end up with tickets and at the ballpark kind of by accident, but right now I'm planning.
Last year when Barry Bonds came to town, it was a different atmosphere at GAB.
When Nolan Ryan took the mound it was different.
Who would you make a special trip to the park to see?
I've seen pujols bat more times than I care to think about. The cubs aren't anything special. Looking around the national league...I'm kind of hard pressed to say...yeah, that's the player that I want to see (or I want my kid to see)
Am I missing somebody? Who's on your list?

Released: Aug 01st, 1999
Running Time: 104
Directors: Marc Dorcel, Mikael d'Angelo
Company: Marc Dorcel
Distribution Companies: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Laure Sainclair, Eva Falk, Bruno SX, Cassandra (I), David Perry, Matalana, Kathy Kash, Zenza Raggi, Roberto Malone, Oceane, Mike Foster
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Euro-story and Euro-sex for Euro-fans. Youro-kay to stock this.
European cocksman extraordinaire David Perry can't help himself from pathologically cheating on his wife Laure Sainclair, and is made to pay a hefty price when she catches him with his dick in another girl's ass. In one of the video's funniest moments he looks up at Sainclair, exasperated, and says, "I didn't mean to."
A Caribbean voodoo priestess named Matalana is Sainclair's answer for avenging her broken heart. In addition to placing a hex on Perry, denying him any pleasure from sex and making him ache for his lost love, Sainclair must perform sexual tasks with several men to "cleanse" her aura of him. Sainclair has the remarkable ability to fuck like a mink and maintain an innocent, almost virginal, air about her.
The two lovers can't bear to be without each other, and Sainclair must fuck her husband's best friend to find out where he is. Quid pro quo, n'est-ce pas? Naturally, husband and wife reunite and celebrate by having passionate sex, the hottest in the video.
Camerawork is artfully done and the music created by Marc Dorcel contributes to the intimacy of this video nicely.
Adultery is nothing new to the French; facing consequences for adultery is. For American viewers, this video is a cute drama; for French viewers, it's a horror flick!

Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody

|Single by Al Jolson
|August 1918
|Columbia 2560
|Jean Schwartz, Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young
|Al Jolson singles chronology
"Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" is a popular song written by Jean Schwartz, with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. The song was introduced in the Broadway musical Sinbad and published in 1918.
Probably the best-known recordings of the song were by Al Jolson (who introduced it and whose version reached #1[1]), Sammy Davis, Jr. (who frequently sang it in his live shows), and Judy Garland. It was also a Top 10 hit for Jerry Lewis in 1956 and became a gold record. Brenda Lee recorded her version of the song for her 1959 album Grandma, What Great Songs You Sang!. Connie Francis recorded her rendition of the song, also early in 1959, for her album The Exciting Connie Francis.

Cranberry Scones
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 18 mins
Great recipe to use up those holiday cranberries! It's delicious any time of year, though, if you can get the cranberries. Note to World Tour participants - I believe the ingredients are very typical for the Canada region.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3⁄4 cup fresh cranberries or 3⁄4 cup frozen cranberries, thawed, coarsely chopped
- Combine first 5 ingredients; cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
- Reserve 1 tbsp whipping cream; add remaining whipping cream and chopped cranberries to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moist.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5- 6 times.
- Shape into an 8-inch circle.
- Cut into 8 wedges, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Prick wedges with a fork 3- 4 times, and brush with reserved 1 tbsp whipping cream.
- Bake at 425 for 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve warm with whipped cream drizzled on top.

I have been wanting to make cranberry scones for awhile and I wasn't disapointed! These were very tasty, with slightly sweet dough flecked with tart little bites of cranberry. I didn't have the whipping cream so I diluted some sour cream just a little and it worked just fine! Thanks for a treat! Next time, I will make it with the whipping cream.
These were wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly, except I sprinkled turbinado sugar over the tops after I brushed them with cream. Thanks for posting!
So good! My house still smells like cloves. I love it. I used roughly 1 cup of cranberries and piled ("sprinkled") sugar on top before baking. I had to cook them for 25min because they were a little thick. Delicious. Amazing. Ate half of them before remembering I had promised some to my roommates.

God bless Gerald R. Ford.
Anyone have an opinion on the Akintunde Akinleye photo from Lagos? It's stunning, but also looks suprisingly Photoshopped - so Photoshopped, in fact, that I bet it's not.
how come nobody has mentioned this: Serial rapist who attacks men spreading fear in Texas city
It doesn't look Photoshopped, it looks surreal. It's one of those photos of tragedies that's disturbingly beautiful.
Israelis did not stop building settlements in the West Bank 10 years ago. They just privatized it, with the Israeli government giving cover to all the illegal "settler" camps and incorporating many within the socalled green line as if they had government sponsorship. The substantive effect of Israel's decision to build more West Bank settlements is pretty low, but the symbolism is certainly likely to make things worse. Where is the US government? Busy criticizing Carter...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly being used to strengthen various components of civil, aerospace, and automotive infrastructures. Subsequent to the application of CFRP, evaluation of the structural integrity of the strengthened members becomes a critical issue. Microwave noninvasive inspection techniques have been successfully used for this purpose. To this end, a novel near-field microwave inspection system that employs a dual-polarized reflectometer for detecting defects, such as disbonds between CFRP laminates and strengthened structures, was developed. It is shown that this system is capable of automatic removal of the influence of undesired standoff distance (or surface roughness) variations. It can simultaneously generate three images of a defect: two at orthogonal polarizations and one after the influence of standoff distance variations is removed using the information provided by the two images. This paper discusses the unique features of a unidirectional CFRP laminate that enabled the design of this unique system, as well as the design of the dual-polarized reflectometer at the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). The detail design of the reflectometer, as well as the results of several measurements conducted on an actual bridge, whose members were strengthened with CFRP laminates, are also presented, illustrating the practical utility of this system.
