A lecture by Jonathan Noble, University of the Witwatersrand.
Monday, April 16, 201212:00 PM - 2:00 PM10383 Bunche Hall10th floorLos Angeles, CA 90095
In the early post-Apartheid period, topical questions of African identity and imaginative dialogue with African landscapes, craft, and indigenous traditions have inspired some fascinating and impressive works of public architecture. These projects represent a unique moment in the history of South African society and raise important political, social and aesthetic issues that warrant careful consideration. Examining recent public buildings in South Africa, African Identity in Post-Apartheid Public Architecture: White Skin, Black Masks documents the search for new forms of visual and tectonic expression, in response to post-Apartheid society.
The title White Skin, Black Masks is a reference to Fanon's classic study of colonised subjectivity in his book Black Skin, White Masks. Noble contends that Fanon's metaphors of mask and skin are suggestive for architectural criticism, and that his non-essentialist theories of race, culture and identity provide a theoretical framework for dealing with the visionary quality of the new architecture and its relation to dominant versus repressed (African) forms of architectural expression – political and aesthetic themes that are central to this study as a whole. The lecture by Dr. Noble will explore some of these key theoretical considerations and introduce the leading themes of his book in relation to the buildings concerned.
Jonathan Noble lectures in architectural history, theory and design at the University of the Witwatersrand. He is currently responsible for the design Master's program, as well as various third and fourth year courses. He holds a B.Arch (professional) and March by independent research (both from Wits University), and a PhD from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London.

Exactly what do you mean by too many amps? As in it blew a fuse??? That is a short circuit, look for burned transformer, overheated motor, etc.
What would cause a gas furnace to draw too many amps?
Exactly what do you mean by too many amps? As in it blew a fuse??? That is a short circuit, look for burned transformer, overheated motor, etc.
Stalled/jammed blower fan motor?
Can the blower turn freely? I had a bearing failure in one many years ago, it seized. Interestingly, it didn't trip the breaker, and the blower motor didn't burn out...which was good because I couldn't find replacement bearings and had to rebuild it from parts I scavenged off another similar old blower that a shop had removed when replacing a unit. I think I handed the shop owner a couple of bucks for the old unit, other than that the repair was free.
Anyway, I'm assuming blower because it is the biggest amp draw. The second biggest user would be the induced draft fan.
quote; The second biggest user would be the induced draft fan.
It may be the "second biggest draw", but it still a "Very small" one. We would have to know what he means by "excessive amps" and how he determined it.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Merry Christmas everyone! I'm helping my sister-in-law with this issue. I'll try to find out what the amp draw was according to the repairman. No one available til Tuesday. She said they got the furnace running but did not know how long it would last. Right now, I've very limited information. Thanks for your inputs thus far.
If the voltage was marginal (say in a brown-out), and things were 'on the edge' of accepability, it could draw excessive current and trip or blow a safety device. When I had my air handler/a-c unit installed, I installed a low-voltage cutout device. I think it was made by IDS. It's about the size of a deck of cards, has some controls on it to set the desired operating range, some LED indicators, and an internal relay to disable operation if the power is outside of parameters you set. No idea if it has saved my system, but it also has a time-out after power outages to prevent operation immediately after power reapplication when it can fluctuate radically for a few moments or so, thus further protecting things while the voltage is all wacky until it stabilizes. The internal motors probably would be okay, but the unit has at least a couple of circuit boards, and not asking them to operate until the power is stable is probably a good thing.

It is very disturbing how they take advantage of the unknowing. Maybe he spoke the truth. who am I to judge.
If she called because of a blown fuse, then Jim's answer makes more sense than mine.
Have a happy Holiday.

I don't know how to get T-Mobile's edge settings back on Beta 2.0 v3?
Can anybody help?
There is no installer or package for TZone Proxy Hack on 2.0 Beta 3 so you will have to do it manually. I tried the procedure listed here http://arashpayan.com/blog/index.php...on-the-iphone/
but unfortunately it doesnt work. Safari gives HTTP Error $CODE$ message.
The same procedure works great in 1.1.4. So may be we need something more for 2.0 firmware for the proxy thing to work.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to give an insight into this.
Solution: Go back to 1.1.4 firmware, 2.0 is only needed by devs.
Check out the first post on MMI in the link below. Find your preferences.plist file and it'll work fine. I got it working yesterday on 5a240.
Thanks guys!!!
It worked great!

hotel BLUE to Collect Toys for Tots Donations
This holiday season hotel BLUE is teaming together with Toys for Tots to collect new, unwrapped toys for children in need. Those booking with us will able to donate in a variety of ways. One option is by adding on a donation while booking, either online or on the phone. This is great for guests who won't be in Myrtle Beach during the fundraiser but who would like to make a donation. The second way is by donating a dollar or more during the check-in process. This is perfect for guests who are coming for a Myrtle Beach vacation during the holidays. The third way is by dropping off a new toy. Just be sure not to wrap it! These toys can be dropped off any time at our resort.
This is not the first year Vacation Myrtle Beach resorts have helped with this worthy cause. Last year Vacation Myrtle Beach contributed and raised over $2,000 in cash donations and collected three truck loads of toys.
The local Toys for Tots chapter, located in Murrells Inlet, assists thousands of children in needs each year. According to the most recent census data, 21.4% of people living in Myrtle Beach are below the poverty level as compared to 16.4% for the state and according to The Annie E. Casey Foundation Kids Count Data Center's most recent information, more than 25% of children in Horry County are living in households that fall below the poverty level. These numbers are heartbreaking and show how great the need is in our area.
Join together with us and make a donation this holiday season to help a child in need who may otherwise get little to none this Christmas.

Sgt. Chris Sparks said representatives from a business on the 1100 block of South Quintard Avenue told police Tuesday the suspect stole payments customers made to the company. The suspect is no longer employed by the business, Sparks said.
The suspect stole $2,272.30 between Aug. 7, 2012 and Feb. 7, according to a police report.
Sparks said the theft was discovered when staff members of the business looked at accounting figures.
Police are still investigating the incident, Sparks said, but a suspect has been named.
A suspect will likely face second-degree theft charges, a felony, the sergeant said.

Vaginal bleeding is any bleeding through the vagina, including bleeding from the vaginal wall itself, as well as (and more commonly) bleeding from another location of the female reproductive system. Generally, it is either a physiologic response during the non-conceptional menstrual cycle or caused by hormonal or organic problems of the reproductive system. Vaginal bleeding may occur at any age, but always needs investigation when encountered in female children or postmenopausal women. Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy may indicate a possible pregnancy complication that needs to be medically addressed.
Blood loss per vaginam (Latin: through the vagina) (PV) typically arises from the lining of the uterus (endometrium), but may arise from uterine or cervical lesions, the vagina, and rarely from the Fallopian tube. During pregnancy it is usually but not always related to the pregnancy itself. Rarely, the blood may actually arise from the urinary tract (hematuria), although the vast majority of women can identify the difference. It can also be a sign of vaginal cancer.
Differential diagnosis[edit]
Bleeding in children[edit]
Bleeding before the expected time of menarche could be a sign of precocious puberty. Other possible causes include the presence of a foreign body in the vagina, molestation, vaginal infection (vaginitis), and rarely, a tumor.
Premenopausal women[edit]
- Menstruation. Exceptionally heavy bleeding during periods is termed menorrhagia or hypermenorrhea, while light bleeding is called hypomenorrhea.
- Breakthrough bleeding in women on combined oral contraceptives
- Withdrawal bleeding which can occur upon discontinuation of hormonal stimulation. Withdrawal bleeding is generally regarded as a normal physiological response.[1]
- If bleeding occurs between periods, this is not necessarily pathological, but it is termed intermenstrual bleeding. If no period can be identified due to the unpredictable bleeding, metrorrhagia is used.
- Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a common cause of menorrhagia and irregular bleeding. It is due to a hormonal imbalance, and symptoms can be managed by use of hormonal contraception (although hormonal contraception does not treat the underlying cause of the imbalance). If it is due to polycystic ovary syndrome, weight loss may help, and infertility may respond to clomifene citrate.
- Uterine fibroids (leiomyoma) are benign tumors of the uterus.
- Cervical cancer may occur at premenopausal age, and often presents with "contact bleeding" (e.g. after sexual intercourse)
- Uterine cancer will lead to irregular and often prolonged bleeding.
- In recently pregnant women who have been delivered of a baby or who have had a miscarriage, vaginal bleeding may be a sign of endometritis or retained products of conception.
Pregnant women[edit]
Vaginal bleeding occurs during 15-25% of first trimester pregnancies.[2] Of these, half go on to miscarry and half bring the fetus to term.[2] There are a number of causes including rupture of a small vein on the outer rim of the placenta. It can also herald a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, which is why urgent ultrasound is required to separate the two causes. Bleeding in early pregnancy may be a sign of a threatened or incomplete miscarriage.
In the second or third trimester a placenta previa (a placenta partially or completely overlying the cervix) may bleed quite severely. Placental abruption is often associated with uterine bleeding as well as uterine pain.
Postmenopausal women[edit]
All vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women should be medically assessed. The differential diagnosis is:[citation needed]
- 30% unopposed estrogen
- 30% atrophic endometritis / vaginitis
- 15% endometrial cancer
- 10% endometrial polyps or cervical polyps
- 5% endometrial hyperplasia
- 10% other
Diagnostic approach[edit]
The diagnosis can often be made on the basis of the bleeding history, physical examination, and other medical tests as appropriate. Typically a pregnancy test and additional hormonal tests, a Pap smear, a transvaginal ultrasound are needed. If bleeding was excessive or prolonged, a CBC may be useful to check for anemia. Abnormal endometrium may have to be investigated by a hysteroscopy with a biopsy or a dilation and curettage.
The treatment will be directed at the cause. Hormonal bleeding problems during the reproductive years, if bothersome to the woman, are frequently managed by use of combined oral contraceptive pills.
Severe acute bleeding, such as caused by ectopic pregnancy and post-partum hemorrhage, leads to hypovolemia (the depletion of blood from the circulation), progressing to shock. This is a medical emergency and requires hospital attendance and intravenous fluids, usually followed by blood transfusion. Once the circulating volume has been restored, investigations are performed to identify the source of bleeding and address it. Uncontrolled life-threatening bleeding may require Uterine artery embolization (occlusion of the blood vessels supplying the uterus), laparotomy (surgical opening of the abdomen), occasionally leading to hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) as a last resort.
A possible complication from protracted vaginal blood loss is iron deficiency anemia, which can develop insidiously. Eliminating the cause will resolve the anemia, although some women require iron supplements or blood transfusions to improve the anemia.

Design and features
Panasonic likes to release its cameras in twos; for every flagship model, there is a companion camera. In this case, we're talking about the superzooms FZ200 and FZ60.
Both models share very similar characteristics, including a 24x optical zoom equivalent to 25-600mm, manual controls, electronic viewfinder and overall identical body design. The differences are more clearly manifest inside, as the MOS sensors differ in resolution (16.1 vs. 12.1 megapixels on the FZ60) and the FZ60 loses out on RAW shooting. The FZ200 also features an impressive constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the focal length — the FZ60 just makes do with f/2.8 at the widest end, and stops down accordingly as the zoom increases.
There are many more ways in which the FZ60 is a scaled-back camera, but let's now focus on the elements that it does possess.
Overall, the shooting design is run-of-the-mill superzoom. A somewhat chunky right hand grip lets you hold the camera comfortably, while buttons and dials around the back are all within easy reach. A mode dial gives access to a myriad of shooting options.
Photographers get to choose from full manual controls (program, aperture, shutter or manual priority), as well as intelligent automatic, creative filters, scene modes and custom configurations.
The electronic viewfinder is small, but reasonably easy to see through. Unfortunately, there's no automatic detector, which senses when your eye is pressed up to it, so you need to manually press the button to switch the view between viewfinder and screen.
General shooting metrics (in seconds)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
While the FZ60 has a range of fast burst shooting modes (5fps and 10fps), in both modes, the camera will only take three frames before stopping to process them, then letting you take more photos. The only mode that allows for an uninterrupted burst of images (that is, until your memory card gets full) is the 2 frames per second option. In all the speeds, you have the choice of shooting with continuous autofocus or focus fixed from the first frame.
Panasonic rates the battery at 450 shots.
Image quality
Colours are bright and punchy, though more serious photographers will be disappointed that RAW shooting, which would bring out more detail from photos, is not an option. In particular, the FZ60 has a slight tendency to over-expose on some highlights, and shooting JPEG gives you no opportunity to recover detail.
Images are reasonably clean up to ISO 800, especially if you only plan to use photos for online display or produce small prints. At the upper reaches of the camera's sensitivity, ISO 1600 and 3200, photos start to look messy with smeared detail. The image stabiliser works hard to compensate for hand shake, particularly when shooting at the longer end of the zoom. However, as we've noticed with other superzoom cameras, the image processor kicks in quite aggressively to compensate for handshake at this extreme — and at full magnification at 24x optical zoom, things do look a little messy.

Video recording produces decent looking images, though lacking sharpness and with some obvious interlacing artefacts (this camera shoots in AVCHD 1080i, rather than 1080p as on the FZ200).
Video exposures on automatic suffer from a similar degree of over-exposure found with still photos, predominantly when shooting in bright, contrasty situations. Sound quality is surprisingly good from the stereo microphone, situated above the pop-up flash, giving good sound definition and clarity.

The FZ60 offers a lengthy optical zoom in a well-featured package, but image purists won't be satisfied with just JPEG capture and a steep price.
If you are forking out for a premium-priced superzoom camera, you might as well save up a little more and spend it on the FZ200, which gives you a fast and constant lens at f/2.8, as well as RAW capture.

AUSTIN - The start of Texas football season is finally here and that means big crowds for those businesses that cash in on the longhorn spirit.
For many Texas football fans it's the most wonderful time of the year.
"It's time to party and watch some football!" said fan Brandon Boyd.
Tailgaters brave the heat to celebrate the start of the season.
"Every year it's always exciting to come out to UT and be a part of the tailgates and go to the football games," Kelly Easley said.
These fans have high hopes.
"I'm looking forward to a 10 win season at least," said UT fan Alex Siegler.
"We are going to take the big 12, beat OU and beat Alabama in the national championship game guaranteed," Boyd said.
"The first game day is always the most anticipated," said Sholz Beer Garden owner Tom Davis.
Sholz sits just 2 blocks from the stadium.
"Its always the loudest, the craziest," Davis said.
Davis said pulling off a successful season means lots of preparation.
"About 6, 7 weeks in we start really talking, we have meetings every other day. Who's going to do this, who's going to do that? How much beer do we have to supply? How much water do we have to supply?" he explained.
The pay off is well worth it.
"We can probably do $80,000 in food and beer after taxes.," Davis claimed.
A proud UT alum himself, Davis says after 17 years at Sholz it's the Texas spirit he enjoys most.
"I enjoy the fans, sometimes they get crazy like everybody else," he said.
With the season underway, these fans are just getting started.
Next weeks game against BYU is in Utah.

The AD's Corner — Wednesday, April 16, 2014
UTSA Cleans Up Batting Practice Quickly With impressive coordination and teamwork, the UTSA baseball team cleared Roadrunner Field of batting practice equipment in a record 29.4 seconds on Sunday. This YouTube video shows Batting Practice Cleanup Coach Brock Hartson providing hand signals to teammates as they break the huddle and hit the third-base line. After a shift in formations, the Roadrunners snap the baseball and clear the field of the batting cage, screens and mats in record time.
UTSA took two of three games from Marshall last weekend at Roadrunner Field and currently sits in a tie for second place in the Conference USA standings. Rice, which is ranked as high as No. 14 nationally, is alone in first place at 13-5, while UTSA, UAB and Southern Mississippi are tied for second with 10-5 records. The Roadrunners improved to 25-12 with a 7-2 victory against I-35 rival Texas State on Tuesday night and they now will travel to Norfolk, Va., for a three-game C-USA series at Old Dominion (22-15, 10-8 C-USA) that begins at 5 p.m. (CT) on Thursday.
Win A UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game Ultimate Fan ExperienceLike UTSA Athletics, KENS5/KENS5.com and Ticket 760 on Facebook and you can win the Ultimate Fan Experience at the UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game presented by HealthTexas on Saturday, April 26, at the Alamodome. Three winners and a guest will receive sideline access during the game, a pregame tour of the Alamodome, two tickets to the 2014 home opener against Arizona on Thursday, Sept. 4, and UTSA gear. Click here for all the details.
Track & Field Returns Home For UTSA Invitational The track & field program will return home on Saturday to host the UTSA Invitational at the Park West Athletics Complex. The Roadrunners will host Houston, New Mexico State, Sam Houston State, South Plains and Texas State in their second home meet of the spring. All the action will get underway at 10 a.m. and admission is $5.
Low Earns Conference USA Weekly Honor AgainFor the second time this season, UTSA slugger Megan Low was named Conference USA Softball Player of the Week on Monday. The junior first baseman began the week by tying a program single-game record with three home runs in a 9-6 victory against I-35 rival Texas State. In the second game of the Roadrunners' three-game series this past weekend at FIU, Low hit her NCAA-leading 20th home run of the season.
The Roadrunners (20-23, 7-8 C-USA) return home to face No. 16 Tulsa (38-5, 12-2 C-USA) in a 2 p.m. doubleheader on Friday followed by a single game at 1 p.m. the next afternoon.
Women's Golf Headed To Conference USA ChampionshipThe women's golf team will compete in its first-ever Conference USA Championship next Monday-Wednesday, April 21-23, in Gulf Shores, Ala. UTSA enters the field ranked No. 54 nationally by Golfweek and No. 58 by Golfstat. Tulane (29/34) and East Carolina (43/47) are the only league teams ranked ahead of the Roadrunners heading into the postseason event.
Tennis Teams Off To Conference TournamentsThe men's and women's tennis teams will begin competition in their respective conference tournaments this week.
The Conference USA Women's Championship will be hosted by Old Dominion from Wednesday through Sunday in Norfolk, Va. The Roadrunners (11-10) are the No. 8 seed and they will face the first-round winner between No. 9 Middle Tennessee and 16th-seeded Florida Atlantic at 2 p.m. on Thursday. Click here for the complete bracket.
Meanwhile, the men's tournament is slated for Thursday through Sunday at Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla. No. 10 seed UTSA (9-16) will square off against seventh-seeded UAB at 10 a.m. on Thursday with the winner advancing to play No. 2 Tulane at 10 a.m. on Friday. Click here for the complete bracket.
Football Season Opener At Houston Moved to Friday, Aug. 29The American Athletic Conference announced Tuesday that UTSA's season opener at Houston has been moved to Friday, Aug. 29, to accommodate a national television broadcast. Originally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 30, the first-ever contest in the Cougars' new Houston Football Stadium will be televised by ESPNews with an 8 p.m. kickoff.
The Roadrunners now will play three non-Saturday games — the first such contests in program history — this season, as the home opener against Arizona was moved to Thursday, Sept. 4, and the home contest with Southern Miss was changed to Thursday, Nov. 13, both for national TV.
"It's very exciting for our program to have three of our games moved to primetime on weeknights for national TV broadcasts," head coach Larry Coker said. "This creates a tremendous amount of national exposure for UTSA, the type of publicity you really can't put a price tag on. I know our players are really fired up about having the chance to play in these types of games. It's a testament to how hard everyone has worked in a short amount of time to build this program into one that is considered for national TV games."
Entry Deadline For Larry Coker Golf Tournament Rapidly ApproachingThis Friday is the deadline to enter this year's Larry Coker Golf Tournament, which is scheduled for Monday, April 21, at Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country Club. More than 100 players are expected to tee off with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. Lunch will be served following the tournament. Click here for more information or to register for the tournament. Please contact Associate Athletic Director for Development Brandon Raphael at (210) 458-8138 with questions.
Final ThoughtsWe were so pleased to get the call from the University of Houston requesting to move our season-opening football game to Friday, Aug. 29. Conference USA television partners already had requested home games against Arizona (Sept. 4) and Southern Miss (Nov. 13) be moved to Thursday nights. That means three UTSA games this season will be broadcast on national television during primetime viewing hours. Opening the season with two nationally-televised games is a great compliment to our program and it provides a national stage for UTSA Athletics, the University and the City of San Antonio.
The baseball victory last night against Texas State marked the beginning of a busy week for the Roadrunners. The men's and women's tennis teams will compete in their respective Conference USA Tournaments tomorrow through Sunday. Softball hosts league-leading and No. 16 Tulsa in a three-game series beginning Friday. Our women's golf team will compete in its first-ever C-USA Championship next Monday-Wednesday. The track & field program will host a six-team meet this Saturday at the Park West Athletics Complex.
In little more than a month, the Roadrunners' first year of competition in C-USA will be complete. So far, we're much more than holding our own.
In addition to performing successfully on the field and in the classroom, our student-athletes also have been active in the community.
The softball team recently raised more than $1,000 during its Strike Out Cancer game for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of San Antonio. Several of our teams also were involved in raising funds to fight childhood cancer at the For The Kids (FTK) Dance-a-Thon at the Convocation Center. It's my understanding that our women's basketball team won the dance contest. I'm certain it was the tips received from head coach Luby Lichonczak that gave them the edge.
Many thanks to Smithson Valley High School and its head football coach Larry Hill for sharing their wonderful facilities with our football team last Saturday. It was our last open practice prior to the UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game presented by HealthTexas, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, at the Alamodome. Come to the spring game at 1 p.m. and stay for the Fiesta Flambeau Night Parade in Downtown San Antonio beginning at 6:15 p.m. Admission to the spring game is free and fans will be invited down on the field to meet the players after the game.
Thanks to everyone who renewed their football season tickets by yesterday's deadline to retain seats and request parking. Football season tickets have become the lifeblood of our department. We offer payment plans and ticket prices to fit any pocketbook. We want you to be a part of our extensive UTSA family. If you have not purchased your 2014 season tickets, expect a call from us in the next few weeks.
In closing, I want to mention the recent death of Craig Blair, the husband of former UTSA head women's basketball coach Rae Blair. Craig was a victim of early onset Alzheimer's and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go to Rae and her family.
Thanks for all you do for the Roadrunners. Please have a blessed holiday weekend and hope to see you at the fields.
Go Runners!
Lynn Hickey Director of Athletics

(Reuters) - A New York City police officer accused of plotting to kidnap and cannibalize women had been having dark fantasies since he was a teenager, but had no intention of ever turning those thoughts into reality, his attorney said on Monday at the start of his federal trial.
Attorney Julia Gatto also said that Officer Gilberto Valle, who faces 20 years to life in prison if convicted, talked online about torturing his own wife and her female friends and colleagues.
"What really turns on is the idea of a woman - oiled, bound, laid out on a platter with an apple in her mouth, about to be cooked," Gatto told jurors in opening arguments. "That's his dirty little secret."
She argued that Valle was engaged in online sexual fantasy role play involving a little-known internet subculture where people with unconventional desires gather to act them out in cyberspace but with no intention of every carrying out criminal acts. (source)
What do you think about the idea of prosecuting people for unacted-upon thoughts? Is that a horrible idea or a creative way of putting away people with homicidal, phedophiliac, or larcenous thoughts before they commit a crime.

When thought becomes a crime, then 99.99% of the human population had better stop thinking!
The problem with this story is not that it's just a thought, it's been put on the internet, but since I too have what some might call dark fantasy, I'd disagree that it's the business of the court to get involved, it's a very personal thing.
"a little-known internet subculture where people with unconventional desires gather to act them out in cyberspace"
Yeah, some of us refer to it as BDSM, other sub cultures of similar nature exist online such as Gor based on the books by John Norman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Norman
It seems to me this cop has done nothing, his actual fantasy makes me a little uncomfortable, but it's still just a fantasy.
Thought Crime, Orwell was right!
I saw a discussion of this on CNN. The lawyers thought that the prosecutor is going to lose on the criminal thought aspect. The cop did abuse police department resources in researching some of his fantasy targets, and they will probably get a conviction on that.
I am afraid I can't go for punishing bad thoughts. They don't violate people's rights in any way, shape or form.
Acting upon them is another story.
Welcome to the department of Pre-crime!
What do you think about the idea of prosecuting people for unacted-upon thoughts? Is that a horrible idea or a creative way of putting away people with homicidal, phedophiliac, or larcenous thoughts before they commit a crime.
That depends. Are we as cruel as God now?
I have an idea.
Let's find a big empty desert, dig a really deep hole, and fill it with all kinds of flammable material. We'll set it on fire, and call it... I dunno... "Hell" !
Then we take all the people who commit thought-crime and send them there!
Then we take all the people who commit thought-crime and send them there!
There I fixed it.
Thinking potentially evil thoughts or carrying out a warped fantasy online w/ others may be troubling for a spouse or loved ones who learn of it. But how is this any different than playing an FPS game where you maim and murder street side innocents in a sea of blood and guts?
The idea of prosecuting people for un-acted upon thoughts is unconstitutional. I do however believe that we must become aware of the potential for crime derived from such thoughts. Ted Bundy is a good example of what can happen when unchecked fantasy becomes overwhelming and lashes out into reality. Keep in mind that mental illness can (always does) exacerbate these tendencies. Therefore, I do think there's something to be said for helping people deal with these emotions before they do become a reality. One might argue, "it's all in my mind..." But thoughts can and do in many cases lead to action.
I believe that laws exist allowing authorities to force people into psychiatric evaluation against their will. I don't think that treating potentially dangerous thoughts should be taken to the level of a crime.
someone else, or the person themselves, would have to come in or be brought in to the emergency room, if no crime has been committed yet. And they can hold you for 1 week. a doctor stating your a risk to yourself or others cane enlongate that by 2 weeks, really because they can't force treatment only the hospital stay. Then if your doc deems your a risk to others, usually because of denial of treatment, it can be another week or until a court can hear the case. then a committment hearing will occur with the judge siding either way, but they could mandate treatment and a hospital stay for as long as the doctors require, but the doctors do have to state how long that will be once treatment begins. all this is per state btw.
I don't think that treating potentially dangerous thoughts should be taken to the level of a crime.
I don't either. I honestly don't think there's a way to tackle things proactively in this regard. The answer to the above stated question of what to do about a person having dangerous thoughts of any kind is that really it comes down to the individual to recognize the warning signs and seek help. This is normally not done due to different societal barriers that prevent them from doing so. I think we should focus more on knocking down those barriers rather than the notion of prosecuting innocent individuals that just need some help.

Golem is one Pokemon (along with Rhydon) that should be considered on nearly every team. Its role as a resistance to Normal-type moves and immunity to Electric-type moves cannot be understated. These defensive capabilities cannot be duplicated by any other type of Pokemon, and effectively stops several Pokemon from running rampant through the metagame. It completely walls Electric-types (with the exception of Surf Raichu) that would normally be game-breaking, he takes Normal-type attacks and shrugs them off as if they were nothing, and then he hits back with a powerful STAB Earthquake.
Whether to use Golem or Rhydon has been an age old question for all RBY players. They each have their advantages over the other, and the decision is completely up to the trainer. Golem is slightly faster and packs Explosion, while Rhydon has a higher Attack and can take hits slightly better due to its higher HP, although the difference is minuscule. Either choice is a solid option and should be considered when building a team.
Golem is an extremely valuable Pokemon that should be considered on every team due to its amazing Defense, very good Attack, and important resistance to Normal-type attacks. Earthquake and Body Slam are its main attacks, with Rock Slide and Explosion playing specialty roles. Earthquake is a really solid attack that does plenty of damage to anything not immune or resistant to it. Body Slam is the backup, used for predicting switches and inflicting paralysis, something Golem appreciates quite a bit. Rock Slide is for any Flying Pokemon that Golem comes across and the odd Lapras or Jynx.
Explosion is the last ditch effort to remove any problematic Pokemon or to do massive damage before Golem is KOed by the opponent. The threat of an incoming Explosion will always be on your opponent's mind, and it is important to not use Explosion at an overly obvious time to avoid Exploding right into a Gengar or opposing Rock-type. The threat of Explosion is a great tool for playing prediction games with your opponent, as if you play it right, you can Earthquake a Gengar coming in to nullify your Explosion.
Other Options
Golem does not have the movepool for any additional options, although Substitute can be used over Rock Slide if you deem Rock Slide to be ineffective.
Checks and Counters
Exeggutor is probably Golem's best counter, as it takes very little damage because of its decent defenses, resistance to Earthquake, and ability to hit back with a 4x super effective Mega Drain or a powerful STAB Psychic. Venusaur and Victreebel can come in on Golem and threaten with Razor Leaf, but will take a large chunk of damage from Earthquake. Slowbro takes very little damage because of its great Defense and can OHKO with Surf. Starmie can counter it, but will take a powerful Earthquake on the switch in for about 45%.

It seems that there is a scheduler who checks DB connection in the container therefore it shows up this message.
WARNING: RAR5035:Unexpected exception while destroying resource from pool
Exception message: Error while destroying resource :IO Error: Connection reset
But why do i face this error?Yeah something is wrong. That something can be a whole list of possible sources of which if you'd sit down and try to list them all you'd probably forget at least a couple dozen. Let me quote EJP from a stack overflow reply:
"There are several possible causes.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/62929/java-net-socketexception-connection-reset
- The other end has deliberately reset the connection, in a way which I will not document here. It is rare, and generally incorrect, for application software to do this, but it is not unknown for commercial software.
- *More commonly, it is caused by writing to a connection that the other end has already closed normally. In other words an application protocol error.* "

This man is a joke! He is not only after your money he is a slum lord also. Runs crappy properties not up to code, black mold, serious structure problems, won't even acknowledge the people working for him, gives them just a room that they can not rent to the public to stay in, works them 12-16 hours a day 7 days a week and won't even say hello to them when he comes to "collect" or even give them cash to buy food to eat. When he is done with them offers them $100 to get off property and leave quietly or the amount goes down by $25 a day they stay afterwards. A man with no consonance, pay and respect the people who slave for you. And make you all that money that its all about. Karma Karma Karma

Report: Dwight Howard headed to L.A., pending league approval on Friday
Sources tell ESPN's Chris Broussard that the proposed four-team trade involving the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers that would send center Dwight Howard to L.A. is "very close" to happening and could be finalized on Friday.
Broussard's sources have the trade exactly as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports earlier on Thursday, but there is at least one subsequent report that Lakers forward Pau Gasol will not be included. Sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne that Gasol has been in and out of the talks, but that the deal could still happen on Friday.
The Magic had long been said to want to dump some of their undesirable contracts and pick up young players and/or high draft picks in exchange for Howard, and the reported deal doesn't seem to address either goal.
UPDATE: A source tells Marc Stein of ESPN.com that the deal has been completed, pending NBA approval. And Gasol indeed is not part of it.
Source close to talks tells ESPN that trade call with league office has been scheduled for Friday morning to process four-team Dwight deal—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
Names in deal still emerging but sources say ORL definitely getting Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic & one future 1ST from all three other teams—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
Sources tell ESPN trade also calls for Sixers to get Jason Richardson with Bynum, with Iguodala to Denver & Dwight, obviously, to Lakerland—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
Other names likely to emerge. Example: Just heard Harkless to Orlando. But deal that's being submitted for league approval indeed Pau-less—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
ESPN source says Dwight definitely NOT doing extension with Lakers. Will test drive Lakerland for season and go to free agency in July 2013—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
If L.A. does not work out for Dwight, says source briefed on his thinking, he knows "Dallas will be there for him." Mavs will have cap space—
Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 10, 2012
Just let me know when I can start praying for Dwight's career ending knee injury.

"it was easy to make it our own with a little help from their basic design. It was just perfect for my stepdaughter who is turning 9. The back didn't allow for me to have centered text but I made a comment to ask if they could center it and make it larger - and they did it free of charge! and it was perfect. The colors are exactly as they were on the screen."
"Just received the cards; they were better than expected. Thick, quality paper. I splurged for the iridescent paper but due to the background color of the card, the pearlescent quality does not show up, so I wouldn't spring for that for this particular card. The regular card stock will do. Overall, happy with the card."
"I love love loved this invited!!! I am turning my son his 1st bday party and the theme is circus and this invite was just perfect for this theme!! The colors are perfect everything about this invite is perfect!!"
"I ordered this card with a close up of my daughter's face in gold and creams. It was so pretty that it took my breath away when I opened the package. I've gotten compliments from everyone who received one. It was so easy to make, came quickly, and I am very happy with the quality. A definite winner!!!"
"I used a photo of my son taken off my phone and it turned out beautiful! The quality of the card was unreal compared to other companies and every single person we invited commented on it. We dressed my son in a yellow top and it suited really well with the card design."

Curiosity has gotten the most of me, I've been jailbreaking and unlocking since shortly after I got my original iPhone 2G. But I've never quite understood how the jailbreak gets done and what it's doing.
I'm not asking for you guys to detail something that Apple may not know, but an older exploit and how it really works would be interesting. (and feel free to say that this stuff is too secret to post in an open forum)
is this written down anywhere? (like maybe the 24kpwn exploit that Apple plugged already)
Same goes for the unlock and how an older baseband exploit was done.

Brooklyn Nets 2014 News and Updates
4/15/14 - It's looking like the Brooklyn Nets will end up with the fifth seed in the East when all is said and done; they are three games back of Toronto for the lead in the Atlantic Division, as well as Chicago in the overall conference standings, and two games up on number 6 Washington. The Nets picked up their latest win over Orlando over the weekend, 97-88. The Nets' bench did some heavy lifting in this contest, as reserve Mirza Teletovic led the team in scoring with 20 points, including 4 of 7 from beyond the three point line. The Nets as a team shot over 40% from way downtown – not only was Teletovic 4-for-7, but Deron Williams was also, en route to 16 points (along with five assists and four steals); and Joe Johnson made 3-of-7 as part of his 17-point effort. Kevin Garnett had just three points, but collected seven rebounds and a pair of rejections, while Mason Plumlee had a double-double of 17 points and 11 boards.
4/8/14 - After winning their 15th straight at Barclays Center on April 4, the Brooklyn Nets headed up I-95 to Philadelphia, defeating the 76ers 105-101 on the following night. Kevin Garnett returned to the starting lineup for the Nets, after missing 19 games in five weeks' time due to back spasms. Garnett collected 10 points, four boards, an assist and a blocked shot in 13 minutes on the court for the Nets, who were led in scoring on the night by Deron Williams, who had 19 points to go along with nine assists and four rebounds of his own. Mason Plumlee chipped in 16 points and pulled down seven rebounds coming off the bench for Brooklyn.
… more
3/31/14 - Currently standing in fifth place, the Brooklyn Nets should be the next Eastern Conference squad to book their place in the NBA Playoffs. Winners of two straight – and 13 straight at the Barclays Center – the Nets dropped Minnesota 114-99 this past weekend. Six Nets broke the double-figure plateau in scoring against Minnesota, led by Paul Pierce (interestingly enough, one of the few players who likes the league's sleeved-jersey experiment) with 22 points; Joe Johnson tossed in 19 points, while backup center Andray Blatche added not only 14 points, but six rebounds, a pair of assists, a pair of steals AND a pair of blocked shots. Three players – Mason Plumlee, Shaun Livingston, and reserve Alan Anderson – each chipped in 13 points in the winning effort.
3/18/14 - If only the Brooklyn Nets could play Miami more often. The Nets turned off the Heat for the third time last week, only to turn around and drop their following game, a 101-94 clunker to Washington, who pulled back ahead of the Nets by a game in the Eastern Conference standings. The Nets got 19 points out of Marcus Thornton off the pine, to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds from Joe Johnson and 14 points, seven boards and seven assists from Deron Williams, but altogether had no answer for the Wizards' John Wall and Drew Gooden, who combined for 54 points. The Nets did get one piece of good news that night: guard Andrei Kirilenko returned from a sprained right ankle. However, center Kevin Garnett remains out, and coach Jason Kidd has said that Garnett will be out for the remainder of the week.
3/11/14 - Brooklyn's team, the Nets, are hovering just above the .500 mark at 31-30, after defeating the Sacramento Kings over the weekend 104-89, despite the Kings outscoring the Nets in the paint (54-42) and outrebounding the Nets by almost 2 to 1 (53 to 27) Marcus Thornton led Brooklyn in scoring, contributing 27 points off the bench; Joe Johnson's 18 points led Brooklyn starters. Center Kevin Garnett continues to be out with back spasms, which meant he missed the Nets' visit to Boston, a game the Nets dropped 91-84. Late reports indicated that Garnett would miss a fifth game as Brooklyn hosted Toronto.
… more
3/4/14 - Center Jason Collins will get a second 10-day contract from the Brooklyn Nets, the team confirmed on Monday. Collins' initial 10-day contract expires on March 4; once the second 10-day deal expires, the Nets expect to sign him for the rest of the season. Collins has so far played sparingly for Brooklyn, averaging about eight minutes of playing time per game; and just three points, those coming against Denver in their 112-89 road win last week. Collins should see more playing time for at least a few games, as center Kevin Garnett ended his road trip early with back spasms after back to back games in Portland and Denver. Garnett missed the Nets' last road game, a 107-98 win over Milwaukee.
2/24/14 - Even though many commentators noted the Brooklyn Nets signing of center Jason Collins as a historic first for the league, Nets general manager Billy King regarded the signing as strictly "a basketball decision." Speaking on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" show, King characterized the signing as "the right time and the right fit for us." The Nets were in need of an experienced center with Kevin Garnett on a day to day basis and Brook Lopez out for foot surgery, leaving the team with just Andray Blatche and Mirza Teletovic as healthy options. Collins made his first appearance for the Nets this season over the weekend against the Los Angeles Lakers.
2/18/14 - A lone Brooklyn Net player made the trip to New Orleans for last weekend's NBA All Star Game: guard Joe Johnson, who scored five points, pulled down one rebound and collected one assist for the East in their 163-155 win. Johnson, a shooting guard for the Nets, is the team's #2 scorer at 15.0 points per game, and will be counted on in the second half of the season as the Nets make their playoff push; the team currently sits seventh in the conference, a half game behind Washington and a game in arrears of Atlanta.
2/5/14 - Despite a 108-102 win over Philadelphia on February 3, the Brooklyn Nets' Paul Pierce was less than happy with the team's performance in the game, according to the New York Post. The Nets went on big runs to start both halves of the game, but the Sixers were able to claw their way back, even getting within two points at 97-95 with just 22.9 seconds left. "When you have a team on its back," said Pierce, "put them away when you can."
1/31/14 - After a difficult streak of luck in the early part of the season, the Brooklyn Nets may have righted the ship, going 10-2 in their last 12 games, both losses coming at the hands of division mates Toronto. This streak has put the Nets in playoff contention, currently in seventh position ahead of Charlotte. As well, the Nets continue to pay homage to their Brooklyn big-league baseball predecessors, announcing a set of Brooklyn Blue nights and a blue and grey sleeved jersey top. The first of these games will be in March against the Boston Celtics.
1/21/14 - The Brooklyn Nets are gearing up for their huge game against the
this Sunday in Boston. Two thirds of the "Big Three," Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, will be making their grand homecoming on Jan 26, visiting TD Garden for the first time as foes after their trade. It's sure to be a memorable and emotional night, and you can get into this long awaited match-up for just $57 in the Balcony. Tickets jump up to $114 in the Lower Level, but you can steal some floor seats for a bargain $181! After a shoddy start, Brooklyn began 2014 with the best record in the NBA, improving to 17-22 and reaching the East's 7th spot. Brooklyn has won seven of their last eight games, and look to extend this winning momentum over the last half of the season. Two upcoming home games are today against the
(just $2 to get-in!) and Jan 24 against tough opponents, the
(get-in for $27). Get your Brooklyn Nets tickets today and see this resurgence pay off as the squad enters the playoff picture!
2012-2013 Season
3/25/13 - The Brooklyn Nets recently clinched their first playoff berth since 2007. With Deron Williams healthy and playing like his old self – the Nets have a chance to go deep into the
NBA Playoffs
. First round Nets playoff tickets are averaging $331 with potential matchups against the
Atlanta Hawks
, Chicago Bulls, or Boston Celtics. With just a few regular season games left in the season, the Nets will look to improve their playoff standing. Just five of the Nets twelve remaining games, will be played at Barclays Center where Nets tickets are averaging about 62% less than their rival, New York Knicks.
2/14/14 - It only took 55 years, but big-league sports finally returned to the New York borough of Brooklyn. With the opening of the brand new Barclays Center not far from the site of old Ebbets Field. The first tenants of the new arena, the Brooklyn Nets, are one of the four teams imported from the old American Basketball Association (along with Denver, Indiana, and San Antonio) in the 1970s; starting out on Long Island, the Nets ultimately spent much of their NBA existence in New Jersey, before announcing their move to Brooklyn to be effective for the current season.
For the last few seasons, the Nets have struggled on the court, finishing out of playoff contention the last four seasons; this year has seen a dramatic turnaround, as the Nets are battling tough against their rivals from Manhattan. The Nets are having success pounding the ball inside on their opponents, as center Brook Lopez is their leading scorer; also providing key contributions are guards Joe Johnson and Deron Williams, as well as Reggie Evans and Gerald Wallace. New-ish coach P.J. Carlesimo has the rejuvenated Nets playing well, but the question going into the All-Star break has to be whether the team can get healthy; as of right now, the team is on pace to earn more wins this season than they accumulated over the past two seasons.
Brooklyn Nets tickets at Barclays Center average $125; the move from New Jersey to Brooklyn has made the Nets one of the ten most popular home teams in the NBA this season. Nets fans looking for a deal will find Nets basketball tickets from $30-$50 in the 200 level at most 2013 home games. Although popular in Brooklyn, the Nets have been one of the least-watched road team this season. Nets road game tickets fetch an average price of $82 — only Cleveland, Denver, and Phoenix have lower prices. What games do Brooklyn Nets fans want to see at Barclays? The Nets schedule features upcoming games with the
Memphis Grizzlies
Dallas Mavericks
, Atlanta Hawks, and Chicago Bulls.
Brooklyn Nets 2013-2014 Season
Despite a 38%
jump in ticket price
since last season, the Nets fell from the fifth
most expensive NBA ticket
in 2012 to the sixth most in-demand ticket in 2013. The $62 increase is likely due to the Nets adding to their marketability this off-season with 3 veteran players from the Boston Celtics. If anyone is to ever question NYC's love affair with basketball consider this: neighboring New York Knicks are the top selling NBA team and the Nets are second. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry will play their former squad at their new home in Brooklyn twice this season; Celtics vs. Nets tickets are averaging $220 (3/21) and $194 (12/10) entering the 2013-14 season. Both games at Barclays Center are much cheaper than the trios homecoming at TD Garden (1/26) where tickets are averaging $339, for the
must-go-to NBA game
for Boston fans. Another highly anticipated game for the Nets –
NBA Christmas
Day opener against the Chicago Bulls in a rematch of last year's seven game series in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The holiday matchup is one of the top five most expensive games at Barclays this season, averaging $344.
… more
Entering their second year in Brooklyn, the Nets made major offseason moves in hopes of competing with the best in the Eastern Conference. After playing one season with the
New York Knicks
, future Hall-of-Fame point guard Jason Kidd retired from playing this offseason, and will make the unprecedented jump directly to the sidelines with the Nets. The addition of former
Boston Celtics
Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry will give Kidd one of the most talented rosters in the league. The Nets will play the first of four cross-town matchups against the Knicks on 12/5 at the
Barclays Center
and also have a home game against the
Chicago Bulls
on Christmas Day.

The display by 14 artists in Hammond Hall Gallery will be up through Nov. 21.
Pieces by Ron Baker, Doug Clark and Charles Groover stir deep thought, emotion and appreciation for things we see every day. Baker's pastel "The Blue Toulouse" prompts the viewer to wonder: Is the dancer lonely or simply in a lonely place?
She could be a working dancer in the Moulin Rouge district of Paris in the early 19th century, Baker said, although her story is up to the viewer. His inspiration came from his research on Jane Avril, a French can-can dancer made famous through the paintings of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The pastel is framed by a sewing pattern for a little girl's dance costume.
A large panoramic photo by Doug Clark shows the Little River Canyon Nature Preserve. It was taken two miles south of the waterfall over a period of eight weekends, he said. You would never realize that 15-20 images overlap to produce this colorful, clear photo.
Across the gallery is Charles Groover's "New Orleans Lullaby," a hand-colored print of a lady seen in a restaurant window. Groover acquired the piece while on a hunt for something eye-catching in the French Quarter "because she represented so much of what was there," he said.

'A Christmas Story' at CAST
Christmas is for children, it's been said. People do special things for children during the holidays. But in "A Christmas Story," opening Nov. 23 at McClellan Theatre, the kids are doing the entertaining and working hard to generate holiday excitement.
Seventeen children are portraying the familiar characters (both naughty and nice) in the story. According to Kim Dobbs, artistic director, the children were exuberant at auditions. All agreed to accept any role they were given, just to be in the production, she said.
A.J. Long portrays Ralphie Parker, the little boy who wants a BB gun for Christmas. His brother, Randy, is played by Bryant Whitney, and John Mark Butler plays Scut, the bully.
"Ralphie is a good kid, but sometimes he gets out of control," A.J. related. "It's a great plot, and it has some good side stories."
