A nerd is someone who is passionate about or obsessed with scholarly fields, intellectual activities, and esoteric knowledge. The interests of a nerd could include, but are not limited to the following: mathematics, the sciences, linguistics, and technology.
A geek is someone who is passionate about or obsessed with a specific subject or cultural following, which does not necessarily have to be intellectually-based. The interests of a geek are far more specific than the interests of a nerd, and could include interests that would otherwise be considered interests of a nerd. A geek could be interested in anything; it's the intensity and depth of their interest that "deems" them a geek. Such interests include, but are not limited to theater, culinary arts, music, movies, photography, computers, video games, and much more.
A dork is someone who is socially inept and awkward. A dork does not have to be a nerd or geek to be considered a dork.
By my definitions of the words "nerd" and "geek", the terms are only interchangeable when the interests involved are intellectual. For example, someone who is deeply interested in astronomy could be considered both a nerd and a geek; however, someone who is obsessed with such things as Star Wars could be considered a geek, but cannot be considered a nerd. When social ineptitude is present, then a nerd or geek can also be considered a dork.
Now, I know that there are people out there that have their own definitions of the three words, in some cases even having the exact opposite definitions of "nerd" and "geek", but this is just how I define them.

OXFORD – Ole Miss, ranked as high as No. 16 in the nation just a couple of weeks ago, will try to snap out of the doldrums and rescue a season that once seemed destined for the NCAA tournament when it hosts Georgia tonight.
Tipoff at Tad Smith Coliseum is 7 p.m., and the game will be televised by ESPN2.
Georgia struggled through the non-conference season but was one of the SEC's hottest teams – winning five in a row – before falling 52-45 at home against Alabama on Tuesday night.
For Ole Miss to win, it will have to find a way to guard one of the league's top NBA prospects in Georgia guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, second to the Rebels' Marshall Henderson in SEC scoring. Henderson is averaging 19.5 points a game – though he was held to his SEC low of 10 points in the Rebels' 69-67 loss at Texas A&M on Wednesday – and Caldwell-Pope averaging 17.7 a game.
Defending any shooter – whether Kentucky's secondary option, Kyle Wiltjer, Florida star Erik Murphy or Texas A&M's streaky Elston Turner – has been a problem as Ole Miss has lost four of its last five games.
The Rebels had no answer for Turner, the son of former Ole Miss star Elston Turner, who lit them up for 37 points and shot 65 percent from the floor.
"We tried to slow down Elston, but it was not enough. We talked for two days about how you can't give him space. He is going to go to his right hand," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "We gave him space and he got away early."
Since scoring a season-high 24 points on 5 for 12 3-point shooting, Wiltjer has been held to single-digits three times in four games and has peaked at 14 points.
Murphy, another 6-foot-10 matchup problem, was 5 for 6 from 3-point range against Ole Miss.
Missouri's success was more of a team effort, as guards Phil Pressey, Keion Bell and Jabari Brown combined to go 10 for 18 from 3-point range.
Their work created spacing issues in the middle and allowed Missouri center Alex Oriakhi to shoot 7 for 10 from close range and finish with 22 points and 18 rebounds.
Over the life of the school-record SEC-opening six-game win streak, five opponents were held to below 30 percent 3-point shooting.
Caldwell-Pope, fifth in the league in 3-point accuracy at 37.5 percent, has that potential. He's a bigger-body guy who can also defend – second in steals at 2.2 per game – and rebound.
"Our first-shot defense hasn't been as good as it needs to be," Kennedy said. "We've got to get back to the way that we've shown capable in order for us to be successful. That's rebound, defend, get the shots to the right people at the right spots and knock a few of them down."

By "Arduino ground", are you using an actual Arduino board, or making your own PCB?
Biggest thing is to use 100nF caps on each power pin to ground. Use a 10uF cap nearby each "group" of ICs to remove any power dips. If you're making your own board, a 100uF cap at the PSU entry helps too. If noise is still a problem, you may need to use inductors between noisy components.

Best Mustards 7/4/11
Chances are you have a couple of jars of mustard in your fridge - whether you like the traditional kind or you're partial to Dijon, which can have a more intense flavor.
If hot dogs epitomize a slice of American life -- then you could say mustard adds the spice to life. But choosing a mustard can be a bit complicated. Consumer Reports put 11 mustards to the test -- five yellows and six Dijons -- to find out which, well, really can cut the mustard.171670
Without knowing which one they were trying, sensory panelists sampled mustards several times, evaluating them for texture and flavor. Amy Keating, "We found you don't need to spend a lot for a good mustard." In fact, the most expensive mustard tested, Annie's Naturals Organic yellow - which cost eight times more per serving than some of the others - tasted good, but it was the lowest-rated yellow mustard.
Gulden's yellow was top rated, for a fraction of the price. Its texture is somewhat coarse and its flavors are more complex than others. "It's tastier than your average ballpark mustard, with hints of caraway and dill pickle."
Another very good, inexpensive yellow mustard - French's Classic. Testers found it has a slight kick, a moderately sour flavor, and a hint of cayenne pepper.
But if Dijon is more your taste, try Grey Poupon. It's flavorful and pungent - but you will pay a little more for it. For about a third of the price, Walmart's Great Value All Natural Dijon also rated very good in Consumer Reports' tests. Any of these are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
While mustards can vary greatly, they all have the same basic ingredients - ground mustard seeds, some spices, vinegar, and water -- a combination which not only adds a zing of flavor, but helps keep the calories down.The recommended mustards had a mere five calories per teaspoon, or even less.

Balancing risks and opportunities in efficiency investments.
Hossein Haeri is a principal at Cadmus Group, and Jim Stewart and Aaron Jenniges are associates.
Balancing risks and opportunities in efficiency investments.
In June 2008, the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) established the electric energy-efficiency portfolio standards for New York's investor-owned utilities. 1 In its order, the PSC directed utilities to file three-year energy-efficiency plans which, once implemented, would generate cumulative savings of nearly 2.1 GWh from 2009 to 2011 at a total cost of about $518 million. Later that year, the PSC issued a supplemental order approving shareholder incentives for utilities successfully implementing their portfolios. 2 If all goes according to plan, the six affected IOUs stand to earn about $27 million annually in performance incentives over three years (see Figure 1) .
The structure of the incentive mechanism approved by the PSC presents risk factors that might affect utilities' ability to realize the full earning potentials the mechanism offers.
The Case for Incentives
The PSC order was issued in August 2008, 21 years after the July 1989 resolution of the National Association of Regulatory Commissioners' (NARUC), which recognized the earnings implications of conservation and least-cost planning for utilities. 3 The NARUC resolution recognized the need for removing obstacles standing between the idea of least-cost planning and the practical realities of traditional ratemaking, which created a strong economic disincentive to the utilities' implementation of it. The resolution urged NARUC member state commissioners to: consider the loss of earnings potential associated with conservation and demand-side management; adopt appropriate ratemaking mechanisms to encourage utilities to help their customers improve end use efficiency cost-effectively; and ensure the successful implementation of a utility's least-cost plan as its most profitable course of action. 4
The resolution proved popular and effective. Within four years, by the end of 1993, shareholder incentives had been approved for over 50 utilities in 20 states, including Con Edison and NYSEG. 5 The hallmarks of these early incentive structures were assured recovery of prudent energy-efficiency investments, and financial incentives to offset the loss of revenues resulting from reduced sales.
However, as utilities in many regions dealt with regulatory reform and restructuring of the electric utility industry in the mid 1990s to early 2000s, these schemes were abandoned in most jurisdictions. Uncertainties related to restructuring in general and the potential risks of stranded investment resulting from open access (in particular) led many utilities to cut back, or in many cases, to altogether halt their energy-efficiency investments. The low activity levels and dwindling new investments in energy efficiency lessened the importance and, to some extent, relevance of shareholder incentive mechanisms.
The past few years have seen a significant resurgence in energy efficiency for a number of reasons, mainly due to a renewed interest in integrated resource planning and the adoption of energy-efficiency portfolio standards (EEPS) in many states given concerns over climate change or energy security. These developments have prompted many regulatory commissions to reconsider energy-efficiency incentives. Based on recent data compiled by the Edison Electric Institute, incentive formulas have been approved in 18 states

Using Organizer
Posted 01 April 2012 - 10:33 PM
I was thinking about using the organizer to tag all my supplies but I don't want to keep it all in there and bog the program down. I use a Mac and it seems like I see the colored spinning wheel quite a bit sometimes.
Anyway, I have a question. I thought I read somewhere that you could put things in the organizer, tag them, and then "move" them (from within PSE) onto an external hard drive and then the full-resolution item would no longer be in PSE. It would just be a "snapshot." Is that correct? Are the "snapshots" small enough that you could have tons in PSE and not bog it down?
Would appreciate your thoughts. (I use PSE 9 on a MacBook Pro.)

Posted 02 April 2012 - 12:04 AM
I use a PC rather than the Mac, but you should be able to put your supplies directly on your EHD and just tell Organizer to watch the folders on the EHD. I was doing that when I used the Organizer.

Posted 02 April 2012 - 12:34 AM
The organiser is good, if you can cope with the slow running and the time you will need to spend tagging everything.

This might be a silly question - but - will putting another program (like Picasa) on my MacBook Pro slow it down? I don't like getting that little colored spinning wheel!
I've not noticed a slowing of my computer, in normal running mode. When you first put it on your computer it has to do a scan to locate and then load all ( and I mean all) photo files into it's database. This initial phase will effect your computer speed a bit, but once it's done any further update, like when you buy new supplies or create a new LO, should have no effect on computer speed.
One other note Picasa will only run when you open it, then it constantly scans your folders for changes in the background. When you close it, it stops scanning. I keep mine open all the time, but like I said I have a high speck PC with loads of RAM.
Hope this helps.

Explain for this newbie, please, what is Picasa and how would I utilize it?
Picasa is a Google program that you download to your computer (i.e. you don't have to be online to use it). It is used to search your image files (png, jpeg, psd, etc.). The way Scrap Girls names their products, you have to do very little tagging to find products when you search. Also, Picasa can do color searches without tagging as well. If you use the search box in the top right corner (under your picture) you'll find lots of threads where we've talked about Picasa and listed lots of tips. HTH

Explain for this newbie, please, what is Picasa and how would I utilize it?
Another thing- When you first open Picasso, it will automatically start to scan all of your photos and supplies. Go to Tools-Folder Manager and it will take you to a list of your drives and folders. You can select which drives or folders you want it to search. It will also scan External Hard drives if you set it to scan them. You can click on scan once or always.
There is a version for Macs too that I need to get, but I've never used the Mac version.

Prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey with Born to be Wild 3D, now playing in IMAX theaters nationwide. The film takes audiences from the rugged savanna in Kenya to the lush rain forest of Borneo, in Indonesia. It's in these two wild places that a pair of extraordinary women have devoted their lives to saving endangered animals.
World-famous elephant expert Dame Daphne Sheldrick and respected primatologist Biruté Mary Galdikas have made it their mission to rescue, rehabilitate and return orphaned elephant calves and baby orangutans to the wild. Born to be Wild 3D, narrated by Morgan Freeman, follows their work as they protect these creatures and their homes.
Since establishing The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in 1977, in honor of her late husband, Sheldrick and her team have successfully saved and raised more than 130 orphaned elephant calves in Nairobi, Kenya. TFK spoke to Sheldrick about her work with the baby elephants.
Where did you learn how to care for orphaned animals?
Learning how to care for the orphaned elephants resulted from understanding how elephants behave in wild situations... plus, just plain common sense. I had already cared for many orphaned wild animals having grown up on a farm in Kenya, but I had never cared for an elephant.
If you had grown up anywhere other than Kenya, do you think you would have the same passion for wildlife?
Definitely. I love all animals, whether they are of the domestic variety or wild. In fact, I love everything that forms part of the natural world. Over the years, I have learned to appreciate the beauty of nature and have broadened my knowledge about the part that every species plays within the environment.
Can you describe your first interaction with an elephant?
Having been born and bred in Africa, my first exposure to elephants was viewing them in a wild situation on safari during the holidays. However, my first close-up interaction with elephants was with my late husband's first two orphans, Samson and Fatuma. They were rescued at the age of 2 in Tsavo National Park. I came to love and understand those orphans, and appreciate the sophistication and intelligence of elephants.
What was your reason for building the elephant orphanage?
My husband was only 56 when he died in l977. I was only 42 then, which is still young. The idea of setting up The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in his memory, and as a vehicle to [continue] his work, was not my idea. It was the idea of his many friends and admirers worldwide. David was considered to be, at the time, the finest wildlife warden in Africa. He created what today is the famous Tsavo National Park from largely unexplored bush country. After my husband died, there were many orphaned elephant calves that had been rescued. There was no one other than myself who had experience in rearing elephant calves, so I was asked to help. That is how it all began.
Do the animals ever come back to visit after they've been reintroduced to the wild? How often does this happen?
The orphans often come back to see their human family and the other orphans based at the two rehabilitation centers in Tsavo. Elephants never forget. They regard all of the orphans as part of an extended family. They recognize and love their human family (their keepers) for life. Elephants are just like us humans—only better than us!
What are some of the wrong ideas that people have about elephants that you hope Born to Be Wild will dispel?
The film shows how wonderfully gentle and caring elephants are, and just how intelligent and "human" they are as well. People have to learn to accept that we humans are, in fact, animals. Whether we like it or not, we are still part of the whole. Every species that exists on planet Earth has a role to play. The role of humans has, on the whole, been destructive. Humans need to have more respect for nature. If we continue to ruin it, we threaten our own survival, as well as the existence of many other innocent creatures.
What is an interesting fact that people may not know about elephants that might surprise them?
There are many facts that might surprise people who do not know elephants well, such as their strong family bonds, their incredible memories and their sophisticated means of communication.
What's the most important thing the animals have taught you?
Animals have taught me humility and given me inner strength in the face of adversity. They face much more adversity on a daily basis in their lives. How they cope with tragedy and heartache, by turning the page and focusing on living, has been inspirational.
Do you have a favorite memory of working with the elephants?
I have so many... Seeing a baby elephant come back to life, having been almost dead. Watching baby elephants play and interact with one another fills me with joy and pride every day. It counteracts the sadness of those elephants we lose.
What can children do to raise awareness of the need to protect endangered wildlife?
Everyone can do something to raise awareness of the need to protect and care for the natural world. Children can raise funds to help those working with animals. They can have respect for nature and wildlife. Children must be able to appreciate beauty and celebrate the beautiful world in which we live.
What is your ultimate hope for the animals you care for and for the animals of Africa?
I hope to see all wildlife in Africa protected and nurtured. I would like to see an end to all illegal killing and killing for sport. I would like to see humans live in harmony with the natural world, and become caretakers of it, rather than [destroyers].
Do you feel as if you have accomplished what you originally set out to do?
Yes. I am amazingly proud of the wonderful support given to me and the Trust by caring people all over the world. I am particularly proud of my two daughters, who have helped me every inch of the way. I know they will continue my work after I am gone, as will my two little grandsons and two granddaughters. Like the elephants, I have a very supportive and close family. I give thanks for that every day of my life.

Though the South African swimmer, still just 20, was hotly tipped to take home medals from London, his stunning victory in 1:52.96 at the Aquatics Centre was still one of the major shocks of the Games. The scale of his achievement, and what it meant to him, was obvious on the podium, where he shed tears of emotion.
Afterwards he said: "This is a dream of mine, I have always said Michael Phelps was my hero. I wanted to be in the final for my main event, I achieved that goal and my coach said you have done all you have to do. But I just remember sitting in the call room thinking that Michael Phelps has never lost this race for 10 years in international meets."
"I remember turning in the last 50 and just looking at him underwater and realising this is my hero, it's crazy. I can't describe how I felt. In the last 25 metres, I can't explain what came over me. I'll have to try and defend my title in four years time, but to beat Michael Phelps is something I have wanted my whole life."
Le Clos, who began swimming competitively aged 10, is one of South Africa's most exciting Olympic prospects. His potential became clear when he won five medals at the Youth Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games in 2010 while still a schoolboy – followed by gold in the 200m Butterfly at the World Short Course Championships in Dubai.
In November 2011 he took the overall Fina World Cup title in Japan, joining his countrymen Ryk Neethling and Cameron van der Burgh in capturing the prestigious title, despite only being included as a late replacement. And at the South African National Swimming Championships ahead of London 2012 his multiple qualifying times even eclipsed established star Van Der Burgh.
Le Clos competed in six events in London – a record for his country – and added silver in the 100m Butterfly to his 200m gold. Now he is being groomed for glory at Rio in 2016, and without the almost invincible Michael Phelps in the pool, his chances of bagging more gold medals are significantly raised. But no matter how the powerful freestyler fares in four years' time, it's likely that his besting of the most decorated Olympian of all time will remain a career highlight.
He said: "Eight years ago when I was a 12-year-old boy who looked up to Michael Phelps as a hero, or more like a god. I didn't think I'd be up here talking about beating him. My coach Graham Hill and I call it destiny."

Richard, his wife and their two primary school-aged kids are getting into family camping - the only problem is their vehicles are not fit for tenting life.
First in the driveway is the 1997 Toyota Corolla that's now too small, while the 1997 Volvo V40 wagon is too expensive to maintain, Richard says.
"The Toyota is great, light to drive, fuel efficient while the Volvo is heavy but a more sensible car for everything that we want to do."
Richard wants a reliable vehicle that provides a comfortable ride and can tow a trailer.
The two brands you mention, Richard, make an interesting comparison. Your Corolla is testament to Toyota's reputation for providing low overall running costs, while safety has always been Volvo's strength and point of difference since inception in the mid-1920s.
In your case we need to look for a combo package that fits within your price range and provides the best of both worlds.
We will also stick to station wagons and a crossover as they provide a good roomy vehicle well suited to your planned outdoors lifestyle.
The budget: $25,000
The shortlist
Honda Accord
Inside and out the 2009 2.4-litre Tourer L is a very high-spec vehicle that includes built-in navigation and reversing camera on some models. Safety features include Electronic Stability Control and the all-important side curtain airbags. It may not handle as well as some European cars but for a family the need should be overall occupant comfort rather than race-car characteristics.
Hyundai i30 elite
The 2010 model is not as big as the Honda but stacked with similar safety features. Smaller engine (2-litre) will use less fuel around town but on long trips fully loaded you may lose that advantage and wish you had a little more power at your disposal. May fit the garage better if space is limited,
Nissan Qashqai
Nissan NZ market the 2WD Qashqai as a passenger vehicle rather than an SUV although it shares many of the same positive attributes such as elevated seating - great for driving and vehicle entry and exit. The Constant Variable Transmission and 2-litre engine work well together achieving a claimed low fuel use of 7.6 l/100km. The rear space may lack the depth of a station wagon but gains an advantage in overall height.
Driven recommends
The Nissan Qashqai is safe, economical, modern, uncomplicated and user-friendly.

The Rusk County Sheriff's Office is investigating a plane that crashed near East Texas Regional Airport in Gregg County Thursday evening.
Sgt. David Roberts with the Rusk County Sheriff's Office tells KLTV 7 that the plane went down around 6:30 in a field near County Road 2156D.
The pilot was the only person on board, and authorities say that he was talking with emergency crews on scene. It's unclear if the pilot was transported to the hospital. His name has not yet been released.
Authorities say that the plane was a small "crop duster" aircraft, and only damaged trees when it crashed. No buildings or homes were affected.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been called to the scene, and is expected to begin its investigation on Thursday evening.

IT is more than thirty years since I first saw the great Cardinal. He was then at the head of the oblates of St. Charles Borromeo, and apt to be called in the outer world "Dr. Manning of Bayswater." He seemed to fill the populous suburb with his greatness. Somebody, I forget whom, who saw that I was tending to the Church, urged me to go and see him, and I remember feeling a strong disinclination to go. I had never spoken to any human being, priest or pastor, on spiritual things; but an appointment was made, and I went, and was shown into a small, narrow room, where I waited a few minutes, and then the tall, thin, severe‐looking priest came in. He was not severe in later years, and, to one who knew him well and loved him much, it is not quite easy to accurately record that first impression. He page: 210 was perfectly polite, but I thought that he disliked speaking to a woman who had taken an active part in a public movement. This may have been a morbid impression on my part, but it caused me to be frightened. I was not long in the room, but though he spoke with the most measured chilly calmness, the few things he said made a deep and lasting effect on me. He told me that "by the mercy of God" he had never doubted of His Personality. He spoke as if perfectly conscious of the Comtist influence then taking possession of English society. It was just at the time when George Henry Lewes and George Eliot were beginning to reign supreme. If one so peculiarly impersonal as Dr. Manning could stoop to a personal revelation, the words and the accent he used may be held to have conveyed this meaning: "Though I am well aware of the length to which the controversy has been carried, still I have never had to concern myself with it. Doubt never touched me in that direction. I have always had an entire faith in a Personal God."
He then spoke, with a curious divining sympathy, yet not in any way sympathetically, of page: 211 the manner of torments to which sensitive converts were exposed by the change.
He said that the wearing of the round Roman collar in the street had been a misery to him; and he told me of having said to Hope Scott as they walked away from the church where I think they had both been received simultaneously, "Now my career is ended." And he added, looking at me impressively, "But where I once worked on an acre I now work on a square mile."
He knew that I had worked hard, and he had some secret wish to console and encourage in a possible loss of influence, though his manner was that of a man of marble.
He then advised me to read up the history of the Reformation on all sides, for he put down several books on a sheet of paper, and among them D'Aubigné, remarking, calmly, "But it is full of lies." In this interview Dr. Manning gave me no spiritual advice, made no appeal to me. His look seemed to say, "You are an unpleasant young woman, one of the stiff old Presbyterian stock; but I will tell you faithfully what I think, and let it take its chance." I do not think he page: 212 had any suspicion that I was so impressed and overpowered by his intellect, that when I left the room and the house I ran nearly all the way home, with the sense that I was fleeing from an overmastering brain, and that I dreaded it.
I did not see him again till he was Archbishop of Westminster and I a married woman with a young child, whom I took to him for his blessing one day when I had to call upon him about the subscriptions got up for poorer French exiles in 1870‐71. How good and kind he was about it, writing a letter which I took to Lady Lothian. Since then I have always loved him with a full comprehension of the absolute fitness of the choice of Rome; a fitness which everyone was finally compelled to acknowledge before he died. Other priests and bishops have been good, holy, of old English birth, and assimilated to the type of the Vatican, but it was Henry Edward, Cardinal Archbishop, who was then wanted for England, and he seemed by his whole experience and training to be the appointed man.
Sunday, June 8th, 1890, was his silver Jubilee. He preached in the little Catholic church of St. Edward, Palace Street, Westminster, standing page: 213 for three‐quarters of an hour by the altar rail; his text: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." After a very few doctrinal words, he fell back on the personal example of Jesus Christ our Lord, talking very simply and plainly to his congregation, saying he had no doubt they were "good," but were they good? A word not to be forgotten. To his Jubilee he made no allusion whatever; but he did say that he had remembered on the previous day that in this church he had said his first mass, or rather in the poor room which then did duty for a church in that parish. And his first pastoral work had also been in that most poor parish, now totally changed by the building of Victoria Street. He said he had worked with the good Sisters of St. Vincent, some of whom he noticed among the audience this day.
In his scarlet robes, and with his fine worn face, he was much less terrible than "Dr. Manning of Bayswater" in the black dress of the oblates. I do not think anybody ran away from him in his closing years.
In the afternoon a goodly gathering took place at Archbishop's House, and nearly four thousand pounds was given to him for church purposes. page: 214 As he passed through the crowd, in which every layer of the English world was represented, he bore himself with upright dignity, but his tall figure seemed so frail, and its movement so noiseless, that he might have been taken for a visitant from another world than ours. He took his place on the red daïs, and in thanking the subscribers for their gift, and making a special allusion to those who were absent in Ireland, he spoke of his own great age, and as being conscious that he would soon be called away; and instantly from every corner of the vast room rose an interrupting murmur of men's and women's voices, of which the sense was an entreating "No, no!" It was a spontaneous and unconventional cry, which no hearer could forget, and for nineteen months longer it prevailed. On the 14th of January, 1892, the old man who had nobly done his work, and the young man on whom so many hopes were set, passed away almost in the same hour.
Seldom has any man more completely conquered prejudice than did Cardinal Manning, and in the slight speech to which allusion has been made, he spoke of times when he had felt page: 215 it his duty to withstand some current of thought popular among his own people, adding, in a tone of intense feeling, "And I bore the reproach." These words would make a wonderful epitaph for his tomb, for they were like all his utterances, emphatically true. Probably none of the English converts to Roman Catholicism had suffered from interior causes more deeply than he. It used to be said of him that he was an ambitious man, and in the sense in which Pitt and Fox, Gladstone and Beaconsfield, have been ambitious, it was no doubt true. He had taken a great place at Oxford, and was of that stuff of which statesmen are made. How should he not have been ambitious, when he might have been the Becket or the Wolsey of the Church of England? Our country offers great prizes to her worthy sons, and Henry Edward Manning might have been anything he chose. But in 1851 he obeyed the call of conscience, resigned his place and his work, and for fourteen years lived literally in obscurity, like any other ordinary ecclesiastic. As a childless widower, his life had for many years been a lonely one. When he took Catholic orders I believe that a female relative page: 216 of an older generation kept his house in South Audley Street; and when he went to be head of the Oblates in Bayswater, his position, though important and dignified, was not more so than that of a hundred others. In the ten years during which England passed through the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny, and when the French Alliance was a prominent political factor, Dr. Manning's name was literally unheard in the outer world. He had lost himself, and his place knew him no more, so far as his Protestant fellow‐countrymen were concerned; and when, in 1865, he was made Archbishop of Westminster, a post in which Dr. Wiseman's genial kindness and literary gifts had greatly succeeded in disarming prejudice, the appointment was greeted with a deep murmur of dissatisfaction, of which perhaps the most reasonable element was the feeling that the honour was due to one of those old English families who had held to their faith through centuries of difficulty. And the new Archbishop was known to be far from conciliating. He had the severity of a Wesley; he turned the ladies out of the choirs; he put down florid church music; he detested page: 217 theatres, round dances, and the drinking of wine; and, above all, he never tried to soften dogma. A Frenchman might have said of him, "Qu'il etait plus Royaliste que le Roi." When a young lady had the audacity to tell him, "But, your Eminence, I like going to balls," his characteristic answer was, "Better not, my child." His whole leaning was towards counsels of perfection, and he died when he did because he absolutely refused to take stimulants lest his tempted children should thereby feel themselves ever so slightly loosened from their pledge; and for these and other most unpopular causes he "bore the reproach" with a certain pathetic severity. And little by little, year by year, the ascetic old man, who went about on ordinary occasions like "a shabby curate," won upon his own recalcitrant people, and upon the outer English world. They came to understand his point of view, which was that if a man saw a good thing he was to strive after it utterly regardless of human respect; and if he saw a bad thing he was to fling himself against it; and if it was clear about a text of Scripture it was to be obeyed in all its length and breadth. His page: 218 natural fastidiousness never stopped him for an instant. To the repentant woman he simply said, "Go and sin no more"; the drunken man he took literally into Archbishop's House, and set him on his feet again.
Also, in the later years of his life, when all opposition had faded away in the respect and affection gained by his great qualities, the Cardinal himself softened. In nothing was this more evident than in his widened sympathy with other men and their partial conceptions of Christian faith; but it was a sympathy born of perfect security that none could misunderstand him. When it was a question of the submerged millions, he went down into the arena, and the delicate, fastidious Dr. Manning of former times seemed infused with white light and heat of Christian love.
I will conclude by a few extracts from a letter written by a witness of the funeral service at the Oratory, who was stationed in the organ loft of the immense church. It begins by an allusion to the lying in state, when the people stood waiting in the streets in a queue half a mile in length.
"Ah! how I wish you had seen the Cardinal page: 219 lying in death. There was no pomp of any sort, though the size of the great square rooms draped with black cloth gave a certain external majesty to the scene. He lay on a sloping bier clothed in dark purple, and surrounded by tall green palms and wax lights, severe in beauty, and suggesting one of the older monuments in our Abbey, and his delicate, worn face and calm repose majestic as the bronze image of Margaret of Richmond.
"And at the Oratory on Thursday the only pomp was the great array of white‐robed priests of his diocese, each with a lighted taper. Every man represented a world of work. And there also were gathered representatives of every rank, of every profession, of all the services. But what most moved me were the long minutes when I stood by the temporary porch on the pavement and saw the coffin carried out, and the pall slipped from the polished mahogany as it was placed in the small, low hearse, while the bishops and the clergy stood in a circle with bowed heads. There ensued a long halt in the street, amidst the silent crowd; and it seemed an especially fitting farewell to one who had peculiarly been page: 220 the people's priest. It was the last of Henry Edward, one of our four greatest, Gladstone, Tennyson, and the Queen the other corners of the great English Square; but the Cardinal and the Queen are morally first. He stood out as a landmark or a lighthouse in the troubled sea of public life, and on the day of his burial, all over the world, wherever live the English‐speaking peoples, from Melbourne to San Francisco, from New York to India, went up the prayers of his fellow‐Catholics following the course of the sun. And all the way to the cemetery the three miles of road was lined by the English working‐men; they came by the hundred thousand to see that little low hearse pass by, just as by the hundred thousand they had come to see him lying dead. I have been tempted to destroy this letter lest you should think it of intemperate warmth, not thinking as he thought. But impressions of the hour are worth preserving, and what I have sought to convey is this: The man who so died and so was buried was no emissary of an alien power, no head of an 'Italian Mission.' He was peculiarly English—nay, even insular—in the severity of his piety, and every man within or page: 221 without the Oratory Church was almost without exception English. Into the very marrow of the social politics of his time had the English Cardinal penetrated, striving to bring into them the will and words of that only Saviour in whom he believed. And not until Queen Victoria is gathered to her fathers shall we see such an emotion of the popular heart again."

here's my take on pics:
Xwing Luke - this particular fig looks to have a sloppy paint job. I wouldn't expect all to be like this and am not worried. Some on the 'Net are freaking out over the 'rabbit' teeth on Luke. First of all, it ain't that bad and if you think so, take a littke xacto knife and scrape the teeth paint off - you'll never know it was there. Helmet on Luke looks great. The eyes in the loose pics look more normal. My grade A-
Han Solo DSE - to me, this is a great likeness of Han. Some on the 'net are complaining that this has a terrible face sculpt and I disagree. Looks just like H. Ford from the 70's. It's a very specific look right from ANH that's great! I hope that the holster is functional? Anyone know for sure? My grade B+
Shmi - great sculpt all the way. The paint deco aside from the head is great. However, on this one, the face on this fig is way to pale... hopefully some will have a more accurate flesh tone deco. My grade: B+ (would have been A if face wasn't soo pale)
Vader EW - well, I'm kinda mixed on this one. A great idea, that has a pretty good execution to it. The head is just 'odd' to me - kinda cool, but that's it. The body sculpt is great - don't know why Vaders hands are transparent like the head while the rest of this fig has a solid look to it. Nice lightsaber accessory. Overall, this is an interesting piece that I look foward to getting. My grade: B+
Obi wan training - what a terrible, terrible fig. DOA in my opinion. Really has no redeeming quality to it and I hope this kills off the off - concpet figs (or whatever the hell this is). Of the four off-screen concept figs, this is the worst. Why did they use an old Obi Wan head and not the last one from the Snowobiwan figure? The helmet looks kinda lame and the lightsaber is not painted at the handle, which is inexcuseable. I give this one an: F.
Aside from the abomination known as Obi Wan, this is a good (not great) wave. I look foward to X Wing Luke the most. It is great to finally get a Shmi, albeit a pale one!

Self-correcting bug: My script for transfer of diary entry from Palm would overwrite an old entry rather than create a new one, so the entry in which I posted the code got overwritten. Hopefully nobody copied the old code before it Darwinized itself. I'll edit the old entry with corrected code.
My hosting provider is lame. JServ has not been running for some time. They never got back to me on any bug reports. I would finally phone them days later to get the latest promise. Now they say they're moving to JRun. We'll see. Meanwhile, the only place where I can demo BRL is BRL Cabaret. This is a free service shared by thousands of other apps, and the entire BRL environment gets unloaded after a short period of inactivity. This makes the first page load exceptionally slow. For now I'll wait and see how things go with my regular provider. If it doesn't improve I'll have to consider paying more than $17.95/month for servlet+db hosting.

|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Dielectric grease - juice up everything before you put the boat in the water, chances are the contacts have never seen the stuff when it wired up in the boat yard. I'm talking take the stern light apart and put it in the socket of the bulb, same for the bow light. Gps connections, fishfinder, fueses, anything where something plugs into a socket gets a shot of dielectric. Coat the battery terminals with regular grease or the spray stuff you get in the automotive section. The electronics will go south quicker than anything else on that boat so a little preventitive maintenance will add years to the life of the wiring.
Oh yeah and Duct tape....
on the flint!!!!
I read a story many years ago, I believe the guy was out of the north shore... boat sank, and he was able to swim to a bouy. it was a large bell bouy I think. anyways he opened the repair hatch in the side of it and crawled he stayed alive in freezing temps by cutting his boots in thin strips and lighting them, keeping the inside of the bouy warm enough to survive.
You are probably right under those situations but if you are going to take the family over to some island for a cookout or a walk on the beach I'd carry the extra chain. But with the ten feet of chain on a windy day and you got to keep your broken down boat off the beach or rocks I'd worry about you and the boat.
Wish I could come out and fish with you all, what a great time to be in New England.
I see your point in that instance. I just don't think it is a realisitic situation out here and having to use 30ft of chain day to day would clearly outweigh any rare instances I might find myself wanting to anchore up like that. Most shore spot anchoring is done in just a few feet of water in protected waters. Maybe if I were to get into Scuba or more serious snorkling but in that instance you really should have a lookout on the boat anyway. Not sure of the dimensions of my chain but I have yet to come loose in a fishing situation yet. Not to mention fly fisherman tend to drift more as well.
The chain is so very important as it is what keeps your anchor in the right holding position. I know it's a pain to drop anchor and even worse to pull it seeing one has to lean over the bow to lift it strait up so as not to scrape the glass. Your boat may not have the room in its anchor locker for that much chain but if you have to go with 3/8's instead that may be even better, it sure weighs a lot less. 300 feet of rhode is usefull on bigger boats as windage scope is all important but I think 100 feet and 30 feet of chain will give your anchor a good angle for holding power in up to 25 feet of water, remember that chain is going to drag along the bottom and your anchor flukes will have a chance to reset. With little chain and lots of rhode your chain may not be heavy enough and angle up towards your boat along with line and that means disaster.
Two weekends ago I watched two boats one 24 feet and the other 18 feet drag anchor when the wind did a 180 and came up at 25 knots. The anchors they had were Danforths about the right size but they only had 10 feet of chain. Both boats had a strong set and held firmly till the wind changed dirrection This made it impossible for the anchors to reset long enough for the owners to get back out to their boats as they were on shore claming. If you put out all 300 feet of rhode you will set your anchor very nicely indeed but that means you need plenty of room if you swing. I would worry without the extra chain that the anchor would skim along the bottom especially if the she let go on a fresh breeze blowing off shore with the bottom angle dropping into deeper water. I guess I feel lucky in having 300 feet of 5/8 chain, a 65 pound Bruce and a windless. When the wind changed dirrection that day I was still on board. Once my chained tightend after the 180 swing it took about 10 feet of drag before I reset long enough to get the engine started and reset for real. The two other boats luckily went out into deep water and the owners had an inflatables with outboards to go retrieve them. Experience is the only thing that can make you feel confortable when leaving your boat after anchoring, lot's of practice helps. Both of those owners went out last week and got more chain.
|Make sure that the trailer has a spare tire and that you carry a jack capable of lifting the trailer with the boat on it.
Are you sure about the 30' of chain? That seems almost unmanageable for a 18' center console. Remember you have to lift that chain out of the hatch along with the anchor and drop it over the side without dinging the crap out of your hull. I have 300' of line, about 10' of chain and I believe a 12-15lb anchor. I also have a small 8lb anchor and minimal chain and rode for the stern.
Get yourself a good anchor, chain and rhode. I would suggest a Danforth hi tensile first and a Fluke second. This style anchor is the best all around anchor for your area. It holds well in mud. sand and mixed bottoms but like all anchors does not hold in Kelp, seaweed or eel grass. I think you should get the 13 pound size or close too it. That size is for boats up to 33 feet but that is BS. If you get caught in an emergency on a windy day it will have about 900 pounds of holding power,( wind poundage against your hull) and your new boat will be well under that untill it blows 35 knots . Get 30 feet of galvinized 1/2 inch chain a couple of galvinized shackles and about 100 feet of 1/2 inch anchor line. That will cost you for everything a couple hundred dollars but is is well worth the insurance of knowing you are going to hold on one of those days we wish we had never gone out in the first place. Remember the rule of at least 3 to 1 scope/ depth all the way to 7/1 scope for very windy days.
Spare parts...
After a quick glance at the items already listed it looks like most things are covered. I would add to the list spare fuses, fuel filters etc...Things that make the boat run that could go bad on a trip out. I now keep a basic tool kit, with filter wrenches, fuses, pliers, a few screw drivers etc.. in a dry box in the console. I have already used the fuses a few times. Spare bulbs for running lights should also be in there which come to think of it I'm not sure I put back the last time after changing them.
Personally, I am not sure I would want to do the spark plug, prop thing on the water. If the seas are calm enough I would just drop anchor and call Sea Tow/Boat US. If the seas are too rough to go on the hook odds are you won't be able to do that maintenance on the water either and a call to the tow boat service is still in order. Spark plugs would probably be a different story if I had a two stroke but the likelyhood of that being the issue in a newer 4 stroke just doesn't seem to warrant their inclusion in the tool kit.
Hey Eddie you don't start the fire on the boat
True I ran my boat on a primitive north pacific coastline. If you lose power and drift off the shipping lanes on the north peninsula you could be in for a long wait for help and a fire and food would be nice to have if you get past the rocky coastline to make a safe landfall.
Year-round water temps are in the 50's and if you swamp you have 20 minutes before acute hypothermia sets in. Not the case out here either when the stripers are in town, maybe for cod jiggers. Out there survival suits are commonly added to the list. At least I did not mention that
The flint never goes bad, it's fire whenever you need it without ever running out of gas or getting wet. Might need it, might not - I felt comfortable with it and used it in non-emergency situations to enjoy a beach fire here or there.
I guess the Maine coast isn't Point of Arches! Neither is Rhody.
flint fire starter? mre's? I don't think that there are many places on the east coast where you might find the opportunity to use those items. Heck, if you think you might need them, you might want to think about a life raft first, and then an epirb and then a water still/maker.
Maybe a few power bars and a gallon of water. And an extra lighter for the cigars.
A really good additional item would be a set of manley pliers. They could come itn very handy if you needed to cut a hook.
|I only own a yak but essential items to carry are a hand held GPS, and Marine Radio. The marine radio is better than a cell phone as you can get instant help from other mariners and talk to the Coast Guard directly. FishHawk
Another shore schlepper bites the dust!
Good lists so far... most covered above. PFD's go without saying.
I also always kept:
- serious first aid kit w/ epi pen
- emergency starting rope with knot on the end (buy proper diam / length)
- Jesus on a roll (duct tape)
- a few MRE meals / water
- emergency blanket
- spare spark plugs in sealed bag
- pump powered flashlight (needs no batteries)
- emergency beacon ($20 at marine store)
- hand mirror
- flint firestarter
at home get a foodsaver and seal some fresh batteries in it, spark plugs, etc.
All tiny stuff but can be handy.

The Beach Boys should be the official band of Tesla Motors (TSLA). The upstart automaker's shares are feeling the good vibrations this morning, as its stock has jumped 5.3% to $170.36.
Why the advance? Why not? On Friday Quartz reported that Tesla's Model S is outselling other luxury sports cars in California:
If you've visited California lately and there seem to be a lot of Tesla Model S's on the road, it's not your imagination. Californians are snapping up the luxury electric sports sedan like organic dry-farmed tomatoes, according to sales figures. In June Tesla outsold Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mitsubishi, Porsche and Volvo.
The numbers compiled by Polk for the California New Car Dealers Association also report that Tesla grabbed 12% of the luxury sports category in the first half of 2013, beating the Audi A6 and Lexus GS.
Tesla sold 4,714 Model S's in the first half of the year with 1,097 of those registered in June. Among other cars the Model S has outsold in California, the US's largest and trend-setting automotive market, are the Audi A4, the Mercedes M Class, the BMW X5 and various compact cars and sport utility vehicles.
Gigaom, meanwhile, looks at the threat Tesla poses to the auto industry:
It's funny, electric car company Tesla has been building its business for a decade now, but it's just in recent months that the auto industry seems to be taking Tesla's innovations as an actual threat to their businesses. That's because it's only been in 2013 that Tesla has shown how it can make a small profit and use its popular electric car to compete with competitors in the auto biz. But reacting to a threat when it's finally arrived, versus skating to where the puck is going isn't necessarily the best way to run a business. The tech industry is littered with late-movers like Blockbuster or Kodak.
Bloomberg reports that Toyota (TM) is offering discounts for its all-electric RAV4, which is powered by a–wait for it–Tesla battery and motor:

The Barony of Iron Mountain is the Birmingham, Alabama chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA is one of a large number of living history hobby organizations. Some of these groups focus on times such as the American Civil War or the American Frontier Settlement. The SCA's focus is on re-creating an idyllic slice of life based on the historical times now called the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Geographically, our focus is mainly on Western Europe but it also extends to any culture with which Europeans had contact.
If you have ever enjoyed a "Renaissance Faire" you will probably enjoy participating in the SCA. However, there is a large difference between the two. Renaissance Faires are usually money-making companies which primarily put on shows to entertain paying customers who may learn something in the process. The SCA is a non-profit educational organization which provides its members with an opportunity to participate in re-living the "days of yore". Instead of just sitting and watching a show we enjoy being part of the activities, making and doing things for ourselves, and even just finding out how those things were done so long ago. We learn about life in a bygone era through re-creating the best those times had to offer.
Like any club we have various local meetings and activities, which are run by the group officers, but the primary historical re-creation activity in the SCA is something we call an event. Our events do not usually attempt to re-enact specific historical events. Instead, we focus on re-creating the atmosphere of a day at a royal tournament, a Medieval festival or faire, or some other enjoyable activity of the time. An event may include tournaments or wars (the SCA's own sport based on Medieval tournament-style combat), craft competitions, classes on topics of interest, Royal Court (where awards are given), dancing, singing, and of course sumptuous candle-lit feasts!
The different administrative regions of the SCA are called Kingdoms. There are currently sixteen Kingdoms in North America, one which encompasses Europe, and one that includes Australia and New Zealand. The Barony of Iron Mountain is in the Kingdom of Meridies. (The term Meridies is, roughly translated, Latin for South.)
Local SCA chapters are called Cantons, Shires, or Baronies. A Barony is the largest type of local group with a minimum of thirty members. A Barony serves as mentor to its Cantons. Alabama is currently home to nine SCA chapters including two Baronies.
If you are interested in romance, honor, Chivalry, history, crafts, customs, feasts, or even just enjoy the ambiance of the Middle Ages, then the SCA is the club for you! For general information on the SCA, including membership information, please visit the official SCA website. You can find out more about Iron Mountain and our chapter's upcoming events by using the navigation links, or please feel free to contact our Web Minister . You are also welcome and even encouraged to just show up at any of our meetings or practices. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome in the Barony of Iron Mountain!

Spent most of yesterday trying to stop ypbind from going into a CPU-eating loop and stop serving requests. It mysteriously started working properly after about four hours, which probably means it will happen again next time I don't have time for it. But at least the slave server is back up and running. I hate yp.
It seems like every time there's a deadline coming up, things start breaking. Today the T1 from hell has gone down again.

GARDEN GROVE – Sometimes when playing ball, you'll look for a fastball and the pitcher will throw a curve – and all you can do is stay back, go with the pitch and try to find a hole.
This is the situation the West Garden Grove Little League was put in when the Garden Grove School District broke ground July 17 at Bell Intermediate School for the first project in a multischool, multiyear, $503 million modernization plan. The work prevented the league from using its home fields and jeopardized the 56-year-old league's 2013 season.
But it now appears that the league is close to a solution, thanks to an agreement with the West Grove Girls Softball League that will allow the baseball league to share the girls' fields at Enders Elementary School, across the street from Bell.
Even though it is not the league's preferred option and the details have yet to be finalized, officials say they are relieved that a resolution appears near – and just in time, as tryouts are on Saturday at Barker Elementary School. Opening Day is less than a month away.
"We're thrilled about being able to use Enders; we really appreciate it," said the league's auxiliary president, Lara Cassidy.
Still, she expressed frustration over the inability to breach the barriers among the league, the district and its contractor, PCM Construction.
"We're just exhausted," she said. "We never got a meeting."
That exhaustion stems from what the league views as a lack of communication among the three parties, as well as confusion over who is accountable – and ultimately liable – for what goes on at the Bell campus.
Even though the contract between the district and PCM Construction, a copy of which was obtained by the Register, contains a sublease transferring responsibility of the property to the contractor, there are sections that suggest the district has room to maneuver without undertaking a wholesale reworking of the contract.
"Everything I've read (in the contract) leads me to believe there is room to negotiate," said Tony Flores, an advocate for the league who works in risk management.
PCM Construction Vice President Todd Miller said he would be open to allowing the league on the fields if all of his concerns were met, a list of which he claims to have sent to the district more than two weeks ago.
"Liability, contractually, is an issue," Miller said. "The safety of the kids is the biggest issue. Access is an issue. My concerns have not been addressed."
But Cassidy's recounting of the league's private discussions with Miller and district Superintendant Laura Schwalm suggests the issue is more complicated.
"He's pretty adamant that he wants to renegotiate the entire contract," Cassidy said. "While he understands our plight, he's concerned about the liability."
She said Schwalm told the league that there is nothing they can do because the renegotiation would take months.
"I think Dr. Schwalm has done everything she can," Cassidy said. "But she's up against the wall with this contractor."
The official communication from the district, however, is more ambiguous.
"It is not a viable option, because it is not a viable option," said district spokesman Alan Trudell.
The result is that the league has had to shift its primary focus toward finding alternate fields and ensuring the season goes on. The West Grove Softball League proved the saviors.
"West Garden Grove is a tight-knit community," said Aaron Kimura, the softball league's president. "If the shoe was on the other foot, we hope they'd extend the same offer to us. So we wanted to help any way we could."
Using Enders Elementary quells one of the biggest concerns for the league: Children can still walk or ride their bikes to the games.
"It's the next-best solution," said David Morse, a single parent whose 11-year-old son, Peyton, has played at Bell every year of his Little League career. "If we had to go anywhere else, it would have nixed a number of kids, including my own."
In fact, with only two days of sign-ups remaining, the league was down between 100 and 150 kids, according to Cassidy.
And a number of obstacles still remain. For one, the league can access the fields only on weekdays when the girls aren't using them and on Sundays – a substantial conflict for those players who attend church. Also, there are no lights, so the league can't extend the hours of play past nightfall, and officials may have to purchase transportable mounds. Parking is yet another hurdle.
"We'll adapt," Morse said. "We'll have to be creative."

Memorial service planned for Melissa M. Huang, Oct. 17
Posted September 15, 2004; 03:13 p.m.
A memorial service for Princeton sophomore Melissa M. Huang is being planned for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17, at the University Chapel.
Huang, 19, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., was found in her Wilson College dorm room on Sunday, Sept. 5. The cause of death remains unknown, however police officials have ruled out criminal activity. An autopsy was conducted by the Mercer County Medical Examiner's Office, but preliminary results were inconclusive. It will be several weeks before final results are available.
Huang was a student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. She spent this summer working on a chemical engineering research project on campus.
Survivors include her parents, Leon Keng-Lock Huang and Sauling Huang; a brother, Kevin, and a sister, Alina, all of Mechanicsburg, Pa.
President Shirley M. Tilghman and other University officials have met with Huang's parents and Wilson College students to offer comfort, counseling and guidance. University Health Services is open 24 hours, and students may also call the Counseling and Psychological Services team at (609) 258-3285.
The University's Wilson College community has established a fund in memory of Huang. The fund was created with the approval of Huang's family, who will be involved in deciding how to use any contributions.
Those interested in honoring her can send donations through the University to: Melissa M. Huang '07 Memorial Fund, Princeton University, c/o Nancy Kalmikoff, Gift Records, P.O. Box 5357, Princeton, NJ 08543-5357.

A news video report type thing that said Guns are the leading "cause of suicide"! Words mean things, and guns do not cause suicide. It was of course in regards to Mindy Mccready and her suicide in which she used a gun. They say the gun caused the suicide, it caused the death yes, but did the gun tell her to do it? Did it make her addicted to drugs? I mean she might have bat crap crazy and maybe the gun did tell her to do it, but did the pills tell her to do it the last time she tried.
This is not about the anti or pro gun issue it is the fact that MSM is constantly using people with PHDs to distort the facts of things. How is it that an inanimate object can cause someone to kill themselves, it may be the tool but it is not the stressor or the cause by any stretch.
Why can we not just have an honest conversation about mental health?

Whitelist your cookies
I followed the suggestion at DaveJ's comments as an experiment, because I visit way too many forums and other identity driven sites, but so far it worked very well. There was not a single case of website failing to work with explicit permissions to set cookies, and the work required to add permissions was not too onerous.
It would be even better if Firefox threw up a dialog or something, to let me whitelist a website on the fly, without opening the preferences dialog with its tabs.

Lehmann and Scoles honored by American Physical Society
Posted December 16, 2002; 05:52 p.m.
The American Physical Society has awarded its Earle Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy to Princeton faculty members Kevin Lehmann and Giacinto Scoles.
Lehmann and Scoles, both professors in the Department of Chemistry , received the award for developing and applying an innovative method of studying individual atoms and molecules.
Their technique, called "optothermal molecular beam spectroscopy," surpassed the sensitivity of conventional spectroscopy, which involves passing a beam of light through a gas and measuring how the molecules absorb parts of the light spectrum. Instead of measuring light absorption, Lehmann and Scoles measured how much heat the substance acquired from the laser.
The award also honored them for using extremely small droplets of liquid helium as a medium for improving the spectroscopy of other atoms and molecules.
The American Physical Society will present the Plyler Prize at a special ceremonial session of its March 2003 meeting in Austin, Texas.

The Florida Bar
The Florida Bar News
January 15, 2013
Disciplinary Actions
Prepared by The Florida Bar's Public Information and Bar Services Department
The Florida Supreme Court in recent court orders disciplined five attorneys, disbarring one and suspending four.
The following lawyers have been disciplined:
Faye Esther Bennett, 252 3rd St., Neptune Beach, suspended for 91 days, effective 30 days from a November 28 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2011) Bennett was conditionally admitted to the Bar and placed on probation for three years because of alcohol dependence. She was found in contempt for failing to comply with the terms of the May 4, 2011, consent agreement with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners and her Florida Lawyers Assistance contract. Bennett was required by both to abstain from consuming alcohol. (Case No. SC11-1813)
Ryan Scott Hobby, P.O. Box 568, Minneola, suspended for three years, effective retroactive to October 6, 2011, following a November 28 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2005) Hobby misappropriated client trust funds and admitted to making improper online transfers from his trust account to his operating account totaling $14,250. Hobby replaced those funds using a loan from his parents. (Case No. SC11-2223)
Juan Antonio Sanchez, 10251 S.W. 72nd St. No. A106, Miami, suspended for 90 days, effective 30 days from a November 28 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1994) Sanchez served as closing agent for several real estate transactions in which individuals obtained mortgage loans in order to invest the proceeds in a sports/entertainment ticket resale enterprise. In one of the transactions, Sanchez failed to satisfy a previous mortgage, which ultimately resulted in the insurance company having to pay a significant claim. (Case No. SC11-1986)
John A. Stanton, P.O. Box 3062, DeLand, suspended for 15 days, effective 30 days from a November 28 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1985) A Bar investigation found that Stanton failed to maintain adequate accounting records in an estate matter. (Case No. SC12-1121)
Heather Joy Sykes, 9000 Sheridan St., Suite 150, Pembroke Pines, disbarred effective 30 days from July 26, following a November 28 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2005) Sykes was the subject of a pending disciplinary matter. Sykes was hired to collect rents and hold the monies in her trust account. She agreed to remit more than $26,000 to the client, but failed to do so despite repeated demands. Sykes subsequently admitted to misappropriating the funds for her own use. (Case No. SC12-1821)
Court orders are not final until time expires to file a rehearing motion and, if filed, determined. The filing of such a motion does not alter the effective date of the discipline. Disbarred lawyers may not re-apply for admission for five years. They are required to go through an extensive process that rejects many who apply. It includes a rigorous background check and retaking the bar exam. Historically, less than 5 percent of disbarred lawyers seek readmission.
