I love this helmet. My oval-ish head usually gets bad hot-spots on the top of my forhead. Not with this. The helmet's also lighter than my 5 year old H-D half helmet and seals comfortably around my ears. There's noise. .. and I'm on a motorcycle therefor there always will be. No worse than any other lid I've worn. I did pair it up with a SENA com unit, Not the 10 that it's designed for but the less expensive 5. Instalation was easy and unobtrusive. Everything tucks away and I feel nothing. If I was going to deduct a star it would be for BELL's lack of instruction for removing the visor to reconfigure. I know I can find a video on youtube to get it so I'm not going to whine, but unless someone knows to do it, they might end up breaking something. Comfortable. Light. Reasonably priced. Cool style. Versitile.
I like this helmet so much. It fits my head better than any other helmet I've tried. It's light and doesn't make me feel like it's going to twist my head off when I'm looking around. It's stable at speeds unless I have my windshield on and it's getting buffeted by its turbulence. It covers my face well enough for my com system to work with my passenger. I didn't get the Bell/SENA system but rather opted for the FAR less expensive Sena 5. The mount up wasn't as slick as for the compatible unit but it still fits and works really well. If I was to deduct a star for any reason it would be for lack of printed/downloadable instruction on re-configuring the visor and face shield. Bell markets it as a transformable helmet but does nothing to tell you how to do it. I emailed a request to their customer service and was sent pictures of what my lid could look like when I do start re configuring... but no instructions. Bell is too big and recognized a company to make mickey mouse oversights like this... BTW, keeping the visor on has proven a nice protector for the visor when it's flipped up. More than once it's taken a scratch instead of the visor. If you're as clumsy as me it could help.
Very pleased with the helmet. Comfortable, size chart was right on. Good purchase.
I hate helmets. But for adverse weather conditions this one has all that I need. It's even comfortable.
I was very eager to receive this helmet, the finish was very good. Unfortunately I have a large head and they didnt make my size. I had to return and I was credited for a reorder quickly. Good return policy and easy.

Alternate name: Crab's Eye
Family: Fabaceae, Pea view all from this family
Description This slender woody vine bears attractive clusters of pink, purple or white flowers, but it is weedy and invasive, covering shrubs and small trees.
Habit: introduced perennial vine; twining stems, very thin, branching.
Height: stems to 10 ft (3.3 m) long or more.
Leaf: alternate, feathery, pinnately compound, 2-5 in (5-12.5 cm) long; leaflets oblong, 0.5 in (12 mm) long, in 5-20 pairs, lacking terminal (unpaired) leaflet.
Flower: small, pale purple to pale pink to white, 2-lobed, one lobe much smaller, 0.7 in (17 mm) long; held in tight cluster in leaf axil.
Fruit: narrow pod, to 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) long; holding 3-5 round seeds, 0.25 in (6 mm) diameter, shiny red with black "eye".
Warning The seeds of this plant are very poisonous. If one is swallowed without first being chewed, it is apparently less toxic, but if the seed coat is crushed, one seed can cause death. Because of their attractive scarlet color the highly poisonous seeds are sometimes strung for necklaces or rosaries; but since children might be tempted to put these items in their mouths, such use is not recommended. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Flower May to September.
Habitat Abandoned farms, rangelands, pastures, undisturbed pinelands and hammocks, thickets, roadsides, disturbed areas; also grown as an ornamental.
Range Thought to be native to India, Indonesia, or Africa; now naturalized throughout the tropics; introduced as an ornamental, now escaped and naturalized in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
Discussion Also called crab's eye (from the appearance of the seeds), jequerity, jumbie bean, pois rouge, precatory bean, tento muido, Indian licorice, rosary bean, lucky bean, prayer beads, weather plant, etc. Two subspecies are proposed. Considered weedy or invasive in most areas of the U.S. Rosary pea is a category 1 invasive species in Florida.
The seeds are highly toxic and can be fatal if eaten. They are quite uniform, making them useful in jewelry and in maracas; they were once used as balance weights.

Pure unadulterated BS. Doing the vote by congressional districts means that the presidential vote can be gerrymandered. I have for years been quite taken back by the fact that many conservatives seem to think that congressmen represent land mass, showing maps of huge expanses of land colored bright red, with those small islands of blue that dictate how all those country folk must live. Yes, it is hard to accept that a lot of people live in cities and that their votes for Democrats "cancel" out those red votes out in the countryside.
I know you all hate Maddow, but she did an interesting story on what gerrymandering did to the congressional outcome in many battleground states. Now that Democrats can garner the majority in a state overall and get slaughtered in the ratio of blue-to-red in the congressional delegation, you all want to extend that to the presidential election. No amount of outright and obvious underhandedness and cheating shames them.

|This is the article on Baku the chimera. For Baku the Anbu member, head to Baku.
|貘 Baku
|Volume #51, Naruto Chapter #479
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #210
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Impact
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
The Baku (貘, baku) is the personal summon of Danzō Shimura.
It is a gigantic elephantine chimera, large enough to dwarf Sasuke's Susanoo. It has tiger-like limbs and bandages wrapped all around its head similar to Danzō and armour on the base of the trunk and between the eyes. It is predominantly dark orange in colour with the exception of its trunk, legs and the markings around its eyes. Its feet are also striped; reminiscent of those of a tiger and it also has huge tusks and what looks like a beard, as well as long, sharp claws.
The Baku is said in legend to be able to devour dreams and nightmares, a fact that Tobi also echoed. When it opens its mouth and inhales, it can create a powerful suction that sucks in everything within a large radius, while at the same time exhaling through its trunk. Danzō uses this suction in conjunction with his own Wind Release techniques to amplify their power. It was strong enough to break the defences of Sasuke's Susanoo.
Part II
Five Kage Summit
Danzō attempted to use it to draw in Sasuke's Susanoo, and also took advantage of the suction to increase the power of his Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves, which when used, created an opening in Sasuke's Susanoo, allowing Danzō the opportunity to attack Sasuke head on. However, using the suction to his advantage, Sasuke launched a fireball into its mouth, which due to the vacuum suction, increased fire's size and power, forcing it to retreat.
- A baku (獏, 貘) is a mythological Japanese creature said to eat dreams and nightmares. As a chimera with an elephant's trunk, a rhinoceros' eyes, an ox's tail, and a tiger's paws, they resembled somewhat the real-life tapir. After the two creatures were connected, the baku was more and more often depicted as a tapir. Modern images depicting Baku as actual chimera are rare.

I was watching the tennis last night, while surfing the Interwebs, and discovered this commentary:
What happens if we steal their rackets? If we steal their rackets, the zombies can no longer hit their aces and thump their backhands and keep us all prisoner on Court 18. I'm shocked that this is only occurring to me now. Will nobody run onto the court and steal their rackets? Are they all too scared of the zombies' clutching claws and gore-stained teeth? Steal their rackets and we can all go home. Who's with me? Steal their rackets and then run for the tube.

|Duke Bryology Lab
Welcome to the Duke Bryology Lab site
Members of the bryology lab at Duke are involved in a broad range of taxonomic, phylogenetic, molecular, ecological, and floristic research. Our general goal is to apply appropriate laboratory and field techniques to understand patterns and processes of evolution in mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. We interact extensively with other lab groups in the biology department dealing with complementary problems in organismal evolution.
The bryology lab group holds informal weekly meetings at which we discuss current papers, critique each other's work in progress, "brainstorm" potential research plans, and share good food. Other related activities in which we participate are the weekly systematics seminar series, the more informal weekly systematics discussion group, and the population biology discussion group.

quote:You just don't get it, the defense has gotten better...or some shite like that
This franchise is not winning another SB if they stick with the current group of idiots whose job it is to build a Defense and a roster for a Defense.
But, other than getting lucky with these two great men, this franchise has never had all of the pieces needed to win playoff games consistently in the NFL.
you realize the saints have had worser seasons of late and bounced back better than ever the following?
The FO has no idea how to build a winning D.
You kind of have to win playoff games consistently if you win a SB.
Except in 2009 when we won the SB.
I'm talking about a franchise that can sustain a solid decade of excellence. THAT is what a superior NFL franchise does.
When the Saints do that, I'll change my opinion.
Only way Saints ever win games is for Brees to play lights out. Been like this for years. With 2007 as a exception. I don't expect nothing more but the same ol same ol. Brees throwing 75% of time and defense giving ip big play after big play.
Our offense has easily been as big an issue,More consistency on offense, better play calling, more time of possession

Casework Approach I
Class Code:
Subject Area:
- R - Biology / DNA Program
Class Location:
Class Description:
Whenever we open a case to work on, we are always making decisions. Which items should be examined first? Should all the items be examined, or only some of them? What type of information does each examination provide and how does that impact decisions on what to examine? How do we know what to sample and where? What is the significance of the test results in the context of the case? How does one know when the work is done? This two-day class will provide a logical framework and principles for making defensible decisions while working on non-complex biological-evidence cases. The principles are elicited as students are presented with casework examples. Examples from many cases will be used. The presentation will consist of interleaved lectures and exercises that participants will do in small discussion groups. This class covers material suitable for a forensic scientist with little casework experience or little experience with complex casework. Class is limited to 36 students. Casework Approach I introduces tools that apply to all types of cases. Casework Approach II briefly introduces the same tools, then adds and spends more time on tools for complex casework including using case hypotheses that address evaluating various scenarios to explain what occurred.
BFS instructors
Teaching Methods:
Lecture, classroom exercises, and discussion
This workshop provides conceptual tools for the forensic practitioner to use in making the everyday decisions upon which the development of sound and defensible scientific information rests. Doing a thorough job on a case does not mean examining everything or doing all possible analyses. Upon completion of this workshop, the participants should have the principles -- and a logical framework -- for making decisions about the focus, priority, and sequence of examinations and when the work can be considered done. The suggested approach is grounded in understanding the case context and is directed toward providing information that addresses the overall case issues.
Little or no casework required. Non-complex casework involves laboratory examination or a standard battery of examinations or analyses, the results of which lead to a definitive conclusion acceptable to experts in the field.
No cost to California public crime laboratory personnel. A $240.00 tuition fee will be required of all other public agency, private sector, or out-of-state applicants.

BOONEVILLE – Northeast Mississippi Community College head tennis coach Ben Shappley made a splash with his first recruiting class.
Shappley picked up the Mississippi High School Activities Association's (MHSAA) top Class 4A player in the state as Lewisburg High School's Joseph Shidler agreed to become a Tiger during a ceremony at the DeSoto County based school on Monday, April 29.
Shappley, who had a freshman-filled women's team in 2013 and made a run in the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Tournament, added Olive Branch's Lindsey Clark to the Lady Tiger roster during his trek into DeSoto County.
Northeast's latest tennis signees will both be in Jackson for the MHSAA State Tennis Championships.
Shidler was named the top ranked Class 4A tennis player in the state of Mississippi when coaches met to seed individual players for the upcoming MHSAA State Tennis Championships on May 1-3 at the Bridges Tennis Center in Jackson.
Shidler will open up the individual portion of the state tennis championships with the sixteenth-ranked player in the state on Thursday, May 2.
Clark advanced to the Class 6A State Tennis Tournament in Jackson after picking up a seed in the women's doubles event and will also open play at Bridges Tennis Center in Jackson on Thursday, May 2.

The irresistible flavors of two family favorite pies come together in one delectable dessert.
For quick chocolate curls, pull a vegetable peeler along a chunky bar of milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is softer than semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate. Lift the curls onto the dessert with a toothpick.
Make this pie early in the day so it has time to set up, plus you'll eliminate last-minute preparation. The chocolate curls can also be made ahead and refrigerated in a single layer in a small container.
Dark corn syrup has a caramel flavor and color, which gives it a darker color and stronger flavor. It works well with the chocolate in this pie.

text: Background...I started searching for a pup over a year ago. With a lot of help from someone far more knowledgeable than me and a little patience (the hardest part) I found a breeding that fit. A few emails and phone calls later the breeder agreed to sell me a pup-thanks Crimson Kennels. My FC/AFC Roux, MH X Faith MH (just passed the Master National) was born towards the end of April. He's been an absolute joy for my family and me. I had the opportunity to observe a HT several weekends ago. If I wasn't already hooked, the HT sealed the deal. I can't get enough of all things retriever. He will be headed off to the trainers before long and that got me thinking-when would be a good time to start searching for pup #2? I know there are multiple factors that go along with this question/answer but when did YOU take the plunge? I'm thinking 3 would be a good number for me to keep at all times but trying to figure out how to space them out has me a bit confused. Having said that I'll say this: I'm COCDAWG. My pup is @ 5 months old. He has caused my ability to work and think clearly to decrease. I am an ADDICT!!

In the pacific Northwest there is currently a huge surge in public work projects due to stimulus. Having worked in the construction industry here for about 17 years I have seen several ups and downs but none like this one. Over the last 10 years we have seen growth in the industry like know other time. Companys were poping up one after another due to the demand for contractors. We are a union company and our workers are very well paid. over the last 5 years the work load was so high it was almost impossible to find help. The hiring halls took in anyone they could find. The market has since changed the private work that was carrying the market has dried up and everyone is looking at the public work projects that are being supported by stimulus dollars. There is one problem with this that most do not understand and I will try to explain as best I can. First off a person has to understand how state and federal jobs are awarded. They go to the lowest bidder period. So this is what is happening with these dollars. These projects have been going out for 30 to 40 percent below estimated costs. The reason for this is companys are dying and doing anything they can to hold on including taking jobs at less than cost. So the question is what does the stimulus really do? There is plenty of work around if you don't mind going broke doing it. I know this will come up so I will answer the question before it is asked. All public work in the Pacific Northwest is prevailing wage so wages are set by the state and federal government. We have seen surges before in public work before but untill the private companys start spending money again little will change. So I can only hope that the jobs that I am creating at a loss are going to bring stimulus to the private sector maybe they will. I don't have the answer to the current problem but I wanted to shed some light on what is happening around my area with the stimulus dollars.

"Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy." – Joe Paterno
I am a self proclaimed Football freak. I love to watch Football, especially when my son is on the field. This weekend I was blessed with watching some good football games, my son's team won in a shut out against a team that was supposed to blow them away.
The character part comes in the sportsmanship that was displayed by both teams. On one hand the team that was beat demonstrated their true colors. You see it can be said that your true character is brought out when times are the toughest. In loosing, do you understand that you were out played or matched? Did you put forth your very best effort and help your team have a fighting chance? Or did you give up on your team mates, did you lack that understanding that only one team can walk away the winner?
I watched as my sons team, the clear under dog, played their hearts out. They, as they say "Left it all on the field". They helped the opposing team get up, they shook hands at the end of the game and quietly left the field with out dancing or celebrating. Not that some celebration is ok, but they saw as the other team left the field throwing their helmets and cursing one another. It was a small glimps into the true character of the team and the individuals of the team. As I sat in the stands clapping for a game well played I watched as the parents of the loosing team demonstrated those same actions. I even heard parents bad mouthing their own sons.
Our team is from a smaller community, boys that have played football together since the 3rd grade. Their coaches are good men, they teach the boys how to play the game right. There is so much more than just touchdowns and tackles, there is sportsmanship and winning and loosing with class. It is nice to have coaches that share the same values of our community and the families that are in it. Clearly lost in the community that our boys played in on Saturday.
It's not the first time that I have seen this, but looking at it on Saturday it made me think about the character or lack of character that these young men were developing. You don't have to be a Boy Scout to figure out where this will all lead.
You can draw your own conclusions. But I am proud of our boys.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
A testament of Character

Deeplinks Blog posts about OECD
Normally when you buy a product that has a hidden defect, consumer protection law in your state or country comes to the rescue. For example, if you purchase a product—say, a book—it comes with an implicit promise that it will be fit for the ordinary purposes that books are used for, such as allowing you to read it, quote from it, lend it to others, summarize it on your blog, and donate or recycle it when you're done.
If the book can't be used in these common-sense ways, and you weren't warned about that before handing over your money, consumer protection laws will generally give you the right to a remedy such as a refund of what you paid.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an organisation of 34 developed-country governments that work together to promote economic progress and trade through information sharing and research. This week it turned its attention to copyright, patents and other forms of so-called intellectual property, at a workshop on "Society's Gain from the Intellectual Property Exchange." EFF attended as an invited expert.
Several governments are pushing for proposals that seek to draw borders around the global Internet. With big decisions at stake, it's critical that Internet users understand the threats and have a meaningful say in the final outcome. At a panel held in Washington, D.C. June 26 to highlight global threats to Internet governance, much of the discussion revolved around multistakeholder processes, or the involvement of all stakeholders in Internet policy making discussions on equal footing.
The United States Government is taking its stance pressuring the European Union to weaken its new strengthened data protection bill. The European Union has a history of strong data protection standards, emboldened by the European Charter's explicit provisions upholding data protection as a fundamental right. European Digital Rights (EDRi) revealed today a widespread U.S. lobbying effort against the November 29th leaked version of the legislative proposal for a Data Protection Regulation (DPR). DPR will repeal the existing EU Data Protection Directive, which details regulations regarding personal data processing within the European Union, and is due for official release on January, 25th 2012.
Yesterday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) approved a Recommendation on Principles for Internet Policy Making. It contains a set of 14 principles intended as a blueprint guiding Internet policy development for its 34 member states. Many of these principles uphold core values we have long championed: fostering an open Internet, evidence-based policy-making, multi-stakeholder policy development, decentralized online decision-making, effective global privacy protections, and limiting Internet intermediary liability.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Best experience was Arizona, worst was San Diego they were still holding on to Eli's snub....
Tampa for the playoffs in 07 was great
Dallas always fun. Great nightlife, great looking women...lots of fun. I go to an away game in Dallas every year.
Carolina. Great little college town. Again the nightlife was great. Stayed at Marriot and walked to stadium on game day.
San Diego for this yeal is already booked. Cant wait!!!
None, but I want to go to Lambeau terribly. Would like to go to Dallas as well.

Thanks Jedikmg for the tip, I was able to pick up the elusive Tie Bomber.
Thanks Jedikmg for the tip, I was able to pick up the elusive Tie Bomber.
Did anyone see Count Dooku in their travels today? I think that is going to be the hardest to find, followed by Yoda, Anakin (Hangar) and Royal Guard. I found everything else but that one. Any tips?
Both the WM in Frederick had the snowspeeder and tie bomber this afternoon
Let's get organized...what time is it and what day is it?
I picked up 1 of the 3 count dookus at mt. airy wal-mart today. They also had plunty of yodas and hanger anakins... I only saw 1 Royal Guard and i grabbed it up.
I just got home from a trip out to the WalMart in Manassas and they've got EVERYTHING. I went out there mainly to find a Dooku and they had at least 6 or 7 of him there. They also had 3-4 Luminara, 4-5 Anakin Hanger, 2-3 Yodas and at least 5 Royal Guards. When I left there at 11pm they were still bringing cases out. I don't have a clue where they're gonna put them all cuz the pegs are stuffed.
Hey Sloppy, you still out there?
Anyone finding Taun We? Him and the Royal Guard are all that I need of the first 27. I managed to get the last TIE Bomber and second to last snowspeeder at the Springfield WalMart. I'll have to make a Manassass run soon.
"Three goofballs and a guy in a monkey suit."
Is it just me or are the cases with Dooku and Taun We tough to find around MD?
It looks like only WM has the box with Count Dooku in it. I found a badly damaged one in Charles Town WV and had to leave it, but there were lots of Yoda, Royal Guard, Tuan We and Anakin Hangar found in all the WM in MD I went to today. Guess I should go south to Manassas or Potomac MIlls.
Don't bother with Potomac Mills WalMart. I stopped by there twice today (near my work and home) and still no Dooku. Manassas would be your best bet. They had them last night, but I don't know if they're still gonna be there.
Fixer - I forgot to mention it last night, but the WalMart in Manassas also had around 3-4 Taun We.
Just got back from the Manassas WM, which still has several Count Dooku left if anyone is still looking. My collection is now complete and i can rest till the next wave.

text: This isn't really a big deal. Tom gets nearly double the guaranteed money over 5 years, and it gives NE an additional 8 million in cap space this year. NE has their own free agents to resign and this most likely is an attempt to help resign Welker. Depending on who they resign, they might have enough to go after an aging vet looking for another SB win like Ed Reed, or Charles Woodson but NE isn't going to spend the majority of their cap on a Wallace, Bowe, or Harvin.

FRIDAY'S FAB FINDS! | May 28 | Shoe Love, a Macaron Wedding Suite, a Free Download, Antique Brooch & DIY Knob Bouquets, a DIY Thank You, Outdoor Table Scape & One Delicious Wedding Dress!

With the end of another campaign season, it's time to recognize those who may not have been successful in influencing voters, but were clear winners in eliciting derisive snorts.
In this nostril-honking pursuit, our honorees were following in the footsteps of Hayes Gahagan, whose 1978 US Senate campaign disintegrated after he announced that an unknown entity had attempted to exercise subliminal mind control over voters by altering Gahagan's campaign photos to insert hidden images of female genitalia in his hairline. He distributed enlargements.
Looked like dandruff to me.
Today, Gahagan is a member of the Republican State Committee, which could be the subliminal reason hardly anybody in the state votes Republican.
Nevertheless, he remains the inspiration behind the Gaggie Awards for Political Cluelessness. Winners receive a Gahagan replica wig. Genitalia optional.
Considering GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Poliquin's sizable bald spot, he should be able to put his Gaggie to good use. Poliquin qualified for this toupee thanks to a brochure he put out claiming there were "6,800,000,000 reasons" to vote for the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. Why 6.8 billion? Poliquin's handout states, "That's what Maine government spends in a year."
His accounting methods appear to be suffering from brain freeze due to thinning hair. The current state budget is about $5.8 billion — for two years. (That figure doesn't include some federal money, but those dollars aren't subject to TABOR, anyway.) Spending will likely be further reduced next year, because Democratic Governor John Baldacci's administration has overestimated revenues by at least $200 million.
For his puffery, Poliquin receives the Even-Further-Off-In-His-Budget-Projections-Than-Baldacci Award.
Candidates often have a lot on their minds and can't pay attention to every little detail about running for office. Take, for example, Martha Henderson, who was seeking a Westbrook school board seat as a Democrat. According to the American Journal, Henderson's candidacy was derailed after city officials determined she was actually a Republican.
To Henderson, we present the Hayes-Gahagan-Will-Be-Conducting-Your-GOP-Orientation trophy.
On October 26, Gerald Weinand, editor of the Dirigo Blue blog posted this comment on the tactics of same-sex-marriage opponents: "Like a receding tide (and utterly as predictable), the advertisements and claims made by Stand for Marriage Maine . . . have become ever more outrageous as Election Day draws closer."
The outrageousness of a receding tide is nothing compared to that of a receding hairline infested with subliminal images.
I'll now pin the Lunar-Gravity-Is-Influencing-My-Brain medal on Weinand's flotation device.
A surge of water also seems to have left independent gubernatorial candidate Samme Bailey all wet. Bailey was explaining his familiarity with the northern part of the state to the Web site As Maine Goes, when he announced, "I arrived on the shores of Limestone, Maine, some 40-odd years ago."
Landlocked Limestone has shores? Who knew?
Bailey is the belated recipient of the I-Survived-The-Great-Limestone-Stream-Flood-Of-1969-Or-Thereabouts plaque.
In Windham, Town Council candidate Peter Busque sent out an e-mail in September listing local businesses that were supporting him. His opponent, Councilor Liz Wisecup, had doubts about those endorsements and, according to the Lakes Region Weekly, called some owners of those companies, several of whom denied backing Busque. That prompted Busque to accuse Wisecup of criminal activity. He told the paper, "As a town official, [Wisecup] isn't supposed to use her power to persuade or affect the vote in an election."
Busque is this season's winner of the You-Do-Understand-That-The-Whole-Purpose-Of-Campaigning-Is-To-Affect-The-Vote prize.
Remember Seth Carey, the Rumford lawyer behind the failed 2008 effort to build a casino in Oxford County? Carey single-handedly sabotaged his own proposal by including ridiculous items in the proposed law (membership for himself on the University of Maine System Board of Trustees, for instance) and then being cited for unethical and inept conduct as an attorney. But his spirit lives on in the latest attempt to legalize gambling in western Maine.
Black Bear Entertainment, the new and allegedly more politically adept force behind the casino plan, sent out a press release on October 16 complaining about Dennis Bailey, the spokesman for CasinosNO. According to the release, Bailey (who wasn't mentioned by name) posted a blog entry charging casino supporters with "pimping" for the gambling industry. I wouldn't have noticed that comment if Black Bear hadn't called it to my attention. Once it did, I read all Bailey had to say.
That earned the would-be high rollers the Seth Carey Memorial Sometimes-It-Makes-Sense-To-Just-Shut-Up Citation.
Didn't win? Congratulations. You must be doing something right.

- Description
The cockpit of Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) 905 hasn't been updated since it was built in 1970. There are no computer screens and no joystick controls. Both the pilot and co-pilot do have their own ashtrays, harkening back to the days when smoking would be common while flying a jumbo-jet. The additional weight and drag of the passenger orbiter dramatically limits the range of this aircraft because it can't carry as much fuel and is forced to fly below 15,000 feet. Without the orbiter, the 747 can travel over five times further between stops but is forced to carry pig-iron in its cargo hold to balance out the center of gravity.

Study shows H7N9 flu virus possesses pandemic potential
Study: Further research is needed for vaccine development, risk assessment
MADISON, Wis. - The emerging H7N9 avian influenza virus has qualities that could potentially spark a global outbreak of flu, according to a new study published Wednesday.
The H7N9 strain is responsible for at least 37 deaths in China.
An international team led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Tokyo revealed the H7N9 virus's ability to infect and replicate in several species of mammals, including ferrets and monkeys, according to a release.
The data suggest H7N9 viruses have the potential to become a worldwide threat to human health, according to the release.
"H7N9 viruses have several features typically associated with human influenza viruses and therefore possess pandemic potential and need to be monitored closely," Kawaoka said in the release.
The new study suggests that the ability of the H7N9 virus to infect and replicate in human cells may be due to just a few amino-acid changes in the genetic sequence of the virus, according to the release.
"These two features are necessary, although not sufficient, to cause a pandemic," said Kawaoka.
"If H7N9 viruses acquire the ability to transmit efficiently from person to person, a worldwide outbreak is almost certain, since humans lack protective immune responses to these types of viruses," said Kawaoka.
Most of the H7N9 strains tested were somewhat sensitive to antiviral drugs effective against the seasonal flu virus, although one isolate, which appears to be a mix of two variants of the virus, seemed to resist neuraminidase inhibitors like Tamiflu, according to the release.
Kawaoka said further research is needed to support vaccine development, to assess the risks and to better understand why the H7N9 viruses infect humans so efficiently.

Call Back Tuesday features the best comics from our Monday Madness Open Mic.
We take the strongest comics from our previous Open Mic and give them more stage time. Longer sets give the comedians more time to better develop their material.
If they can throw heat, we offer them a chance to do sets for our weekend shows and from there, the sky is the limit.
We encourage local up-and-comers to work harder on their game as well as professional Pacific Northwest comedians to drop in, work on new material and positively interface with the younger generation, which helps make the vibrant Seattle comedy scene even stronger.

When you travel out of the continent, it's wise to expect the unexpected. Being far away from home means there is a risk
of contracting disease. The physicians at Travel Clinics of America can help you get the appropriate travel shots and teach you about diseases
common at your specific destination.
Recommendations for travel
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A, transmitted through contaminated food and water, is the most common vaccine-preventable disease. Vaccination
against Hepatitis A virtually eliminates the risk of the disease. It is given as a series of 2 shots, 6 months apart.
Read more...
Hepatitis A vaccine
Typhoid Fever
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection. It occurs worldwide but is more common in developing countries.
Typhoid is transmitted by contaminated food. The Typhoid vaccine is by far the best protection for the travelers traveling to developing countries.
Read more...
Typhoid vaccine
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B, a serious viral illness, is transmitted through blood products, contaminated medical instruments
(such as during an emergency surgery) and unprotected sex. Some travelers, such as adventure travelers, Peace Corps volunteers, missionaries,
and military personnel, may be at increased risk for infection. Generally given over 6 months,
the Hepatitis vaccine also may be given on an
accelerated schedule over 21 days. Read more...
Hepatitis B vaccine
Rabies is characteristically transmitted by the bite or scratch from rabid infected animals. Travelers to
rural areas for extended periods of time, children, and those in close contact with animals are at a higher risk for rabies and should discuss
receiving a prophylactic anti-rabies vaccination with a travel physician. This vaccination involves a series of three injections, given over 3-4
weeks. Read more...

I feel I should write something about chaos, since it's been a while..
Anyway, the development goes on. I've heard rumours about ATA (IDE) support coming up, but I don't know how far it is. Myself, I'm hacking on the ISO and POSIX libraries, which is really horrible (to say the least!), but alas nice to have. Anyway, I think I'll start fixing the PCI server instead, so that we can write drivers for some PCI cards (like 3C905). That'll be nice, but I think we'll need shared memory at first... oh, there's always so much to do before I'm happy. :)

Moving Claws Mail from CVS to Git
After a long week which started past Friday it's done and official: the Claws Mail project has moved from using the ancient CVS to Git.
Most of the unavoidable problems which happen when such transitions are made are solved now, so we can probably concentrate ourselves on some bug killing before making a new shiny release.
I've still had no time to migrate the Debian packages autobuilder from using old CVS to the new Git, so if you're using it, be patient, will be working again soon ;-).

1.Julian Barnes | Arthur & George | Knopf | In a time of tenuous allegiances and deep culture clashes, Julian Barnes's novel asks, "What determines nationality? What does it mean to be included, to be excluded?" Set in Late Victorian England and based on a true story, Arthur & George alternates sections headed "Arthur" (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes) and "George" (a half-Indian Staffordshire solicitor whose tidy, provincial existence is disrupted when he's accused of hideous crimes). Barnes's language takes in Kipling's florid prose, Gilbert & Sullivan's lilt, Mrs. Gaskell's delicacy, and Elgar's pomp, merging elements of the Victorian thriller and romance to tell a whopping good tale with unsettling existential and moral implications.
2.Upamanyu Chatterjee | English, August: An Indian Story | New York Review Books | Originally published in India in 1988, this American debut can be shelved along with the work of Chatterjee's compatriots, but a few delightful differences set it apart, the most obvious being its protagonist, Agastya Sen, a 24-year-old slacker whose primary activities are masturbating, smoking pot, and contemplating his place in the larger order of things. Unlike the uneasily acclimatized expatriates of Jhumpa Lahiri's fiction, Sen has remained in his home country. Yet he experiences the same feelings of rootless confusion.
3.Richard Ford | The Lay Of The Land | Knopf | In what he says will be the last of his Frank Bascombe novels — which began in 1986 with The Sportswriter and continued in the Pulitzer-and-PEN/Faulkner-Award-winning Independence Day — Ford follows his protagonist, a philosophical novelist-turned-sportswriter-turned-real-estate-agent, over three days that culminate in Thanksgiving 2000. Contending with prostate cancer, two challenging adult children, an ex-wife, a current marriage at risk, and a Tibetan Buddhist employee named Mike Mahoney, Bascombe is grouchy, likable, garrulous, infinitely observant. Deploying him against the backdrop of the Jersey shore, Ford makes an implicit argument about the novel not merely as a depiction of the world but as a mode of thought.
4.Etgar Keret | The Nimrod Flipout | Farrar, Straus and Giroux | The Tel Aviv author is a deadpan surrealist chronicling the intrusion of the bizarre into the quotidian: a man's girlfriend turns, every night, into a bald potbellied soccer fanatic; devoted parents shrink an inch for every inch their son grows; a booklet advertised in the newspaper teaches humanity the meaning of life for only $9.99; a beloved pet dog keeps coming back from the dead; a beautiful little girl covets the glittering eyes of the grubby, ordinary little boy who's in love with her. But Keret's weirdness is never without a recognizable emotional component, and at their best these stories work as elegant metaphors.

Alternate name: Brown Bear, Alaskan Brown Bear, Kodiak Bear
Family: Ursidae, Bears view all from this family
Description Impressive, powerful, large brownish bear with a massive head with a dished facial profile and a humped shoulder. Fur color variable and may be virtually any shade of brown. Head and shoulders are typically paler than the darker sides, belly, and legs. Front claws are extremely long. Ears are round and indistinct and tail is short. Variable in size with larger coastal and island (including Kodiak Bear) populations and smaller inland (Grizzly Bear) forms. Males are larger.
Dimensions 1.0-2.8m, 6-21cm, 80-600kg
Endangered Status The subspecies of the Grizzly Bear that lives in the contiguous U.S. is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in the lower 48 states, although its current range extends only into Idaho, Montana, Washington (rarely), and Wyoming. (It has not been recorded in Colorado in many years.) Perhaps 50,000 Grizzlies roamed the western U.S. in 1800 from the Canadian border to Mexico, as far east as the middle of the Great Plains. The settlement and development of the West meant changes to and destruction of the Grizzly's habitat, competition with humans for game such as White-tailed Deer, and clashes between bears and humans. Grizzlies were seen as a threat to humans and livestock, and were hunted, trapped, and poisoned extensively, both for food and fur and to eliminate them from areas where humans lived. In 1975, when the Grizzly Bear came under the protection of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, only about 1,000 remained in the lower 48 states. Habitat degradation, from recreational and residential development, road building, and mineral and energy exploration, remains a threat today. Even the development of areas that Grizzlies don't normally live in can be destructive, because the bears may use these areas as corridors to reach suitable feeding habitat. Some private landowners and companies have volunteered to protect these corridors on their land in order to protect the bears. Plans to reintroduce Grizzlies into suitable habitat in the U.S. Northwest have faced serious opposition and may never come to pass.
Warning All North American bears can be dangerous in the following situations: when accompanied by cubs, when surprised by the sudden appearance of humans, when approached while feeding, guarding a kill, fishing, hungry, injured, or breeding, and when conditioned to human foods, as has occurred in some Canadian and U.S. parks. Campers must firmly seal up food and place it out of reach. Bears will break into unattended vehicles if they smell food. The Grizzly is the most dangerous of all bears. Do not feed, approach, surprise at close range, or get between a Grizzly Bear and its food or cubs. While Grizzlies normally avoid humans, they will attack and have been known to seriously injure and even kill humans. Grizzlies can outrun humans, and can climb trees. If charged by a Grizzly, stand your ground; if attacked, lie flat on your stomach and play dead.
Breeding Breeding is in May-July, but implantation delayed until November, and gestation is 6-8 weeks while the female is hibernating. In January-March, 1-4 young are born growing rapidly from a birth weight of 500g to 15kg by 3 months of age. Maximum life span is 20-30 years in the wild.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Alpine & subalpine habitats, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Lakes, ponds, rivers & streams, Meadows & fields, Beaches, shorelines & estuaries

Technical Scope of Work
The technical scope of work will focus on several components of Bellevue's downtown transportation system.
A. RoadwaysOne of the first tasks will be to review the roadway projects identified in the Downtown Subarea Plan to ensure that they are still the right projects to meet expected needs, or if a different approach may provide a better solution. Potential roadway capacity and operational improvements will be identified and evaluated as stand-alone projects and/or as aggregates of related projects. Ideas and options will be analyzed with the intent to provide additional on-street parking and loading zones to support the short-term parking and loading/delivery needs for downtown businesses and residents.
B. Roadway OperationsBellevue implements advanced technology to improve roadway efficiency – an important mobility strategy downtown, where rights of way are limited and expensive, and where there are multiple travel options. Incorporating intelligent transportation systems (ITS) into the City's transportation system provides better signal timing, real-time traffic information, system monitoring and performance measures, and supports transit and emergency services. Staff and the consultant team will look for additional opportunities to improve signal operations downtown, and will quantify any associated benefits for future mobility.
C. TransitDowntown Bellevue transit service in 2030 is planned to be a combination of light rail and bus service to meet the demands of downtown residents and businesses. A significant focus of this work will be to identify improvements to the speed and reliability of the transit service, to improve transit ridership and reduce driving trips. Building upon the regional investments in Sound Transit East Link light rail and King County Metro RapidRide, this plan update will identify the complementary transit service -- with recommended additional routes and greater frequency to serve downtown.
D. Non-Motorized Transportation Recent analysis of average daily vehicle trips on downtown arterials reveals a slower rate of growth than might be expected given the amount of development that has occurred in the past decade. This trend may reflect growing commuter and daytime transit use, more bicycle riding and higher pedestrian volumes along busy sidewalks. The Downtown Transportation Plan Update will consider and plan to accommodate the non-motorized trips that will comprise an increasing portion of the overall number of daily trips within downtown. Recommendations for projects that improve the environment for pedestrians and bicyclists will be a key part of the strategy to improve downtown mobility.
E. Greenhouse Gas Emissions AnalysisThe analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is becoming increasingly important in city planning efforts. Approximately 50 percent of GHG emissions in the Puget Sound region come from transportation sources -- cars and trucks. In 2006, the GHG contribution from transportation sources within Bellevue stood at 43 percent. It is expected that in downtown Bellevue the transportation-related GHG emissions are less than the city as a whole – a finding similar to that of other mixed-use urban areas due to less driving per capita. Still, Bellevue must identify strategies to further reduce emissions, including those from transportation sources, to meet its overall GHG reduction goals. In 2007 the City Council adopted a communitywide GHG emissions target: to reduce emissions to 7 percent below their 1990 level by 2012. Quantitative measures of GHG emissions will inform decisions on various options to ensure long-term mobility while reducing carbon emissions.
F. Implementation StrategyWhile this plan update will extend the planning horizon to 2030, it will also provide recommendations for phased implementation, a prioritization strategy and potential funding resources for recommended improvements to the transportation system. As part of the phasing and prioritization considerations, threshold metrics or conditions will be described that would trigger the need to implement a project –- such metrics may include degraded level of service, increased traffic volume, inadequate transit capacity or increased transit or auto travel time.
G. Public Involvement Strategy Innovative and emerging strategies in public involvement, such as web-based information-sharing and social networking, as well as traditional approaches of community meetings, focus groups and newsletters, will be utilized. The City Council appointed the Transportation Commission to serve as the primary advisory body to oversee the work program and to provide a final recommendation. There will be briefings to other boards and commissions, in particular the Planning Commission, which will be responsible for providing recommendations on any amendments to the Downtown Subarea Plan. There will also be significant input and ongoing interaction with the Bellevue Downtown Association, the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, other downtown businesses and residential stakeholders, and with residents of nearby neighborhoods.
H. Project Principles The City Council has approved a set of project principles that describe expectations and provide guidance.

07 Dec / Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free Grilled Chicken Sandwich
So, it's been 35 degrees in the mornings here. That. Is. Cold. For me, anyway. With the coldness, I start craving warm, yummy foods. And that's when both my crockpot and my George Foreman grill become my best friends when in the kitchen.
I concocted this tasty masterpiece the other weekend. It was delish.
Perfect for a weekend lunch. Filling and warm, feel free to play with the types of non-dairy cheeses you use (I am loving soy mozzarella right now).
Wheat & Dairy-Free Grilled Chicken Sandwich
2 slices wheat-free bread (Ezekiel Bread is my preference.)
1 T Tofutti cream cheese
1 small organic chicken breast, grilled and sliced
1 oz. non-dairy cheese
4 cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves
3 artichoke hearts, sauted in olive oil and chopped
Season chicken with your favorite seasoning blend (Trader Joe's has some great options), grill and slice. Saute artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes until lightly browned. Spread Tofutti on both slices of bread. Then, add chicken, cheese, tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Place sandwich on George Foreman grill, pull down lid. Let grill for approximately 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to desired levels. Let cool for a few minutes and slice in half. Serve.
Happy Eating!
Heather 🙂

Turning bioplastics into child's playComments Email Print
Hong Kong-based product development firm Bioserie started with the ambitious goal of building a consumer brand around bioplastics. Its first effort, smartphone cases made entirely from plant-based polymers, hit the market in 2010.
Jump forward four years, and the business hasn't lived up to expectations. But the small company hopes a shift to toy manufacturing can change that. In May it launched what it says is the world's first line of infant toys made entirely from plant-based polylactic acid and additives.
"Our smartphone cover business did not do as well as we hoped for, but we have no complaints as it helped us develop the brand and high performance PLA manufacturing technology," said CEO Kaya Kaplancali. "We believe toys are a much better category for our concept and we now feel ready to tackle it after four years of hard work."
The company said it focused its R&D in the intervening years on improving the heat resistance and durability of its materials.
Last year, it was a finalist for bioplastics manufacturing awards given by the Society of the Plastics Industry Inc., and Germany's Nova Institute, based on its iPhone 5 cover made from PLA from Minnesota-based NatureWorks LLC.
"We spent over three years researching and experimenting with bioplastics," he said. "We developed our own manufacturing technology for injection molding using a special blend of the best available bioplastic materials."
The company subcontracts its manufacturing to plastics firms in Southern China.
Kaplancali, a former executive in the mobile phone accessories industry, thinks toys have more potential than phones because of growing concerns about how chemical additives impact children's health.
As well, he believes there's increasing demand for renewable-resource, lower-carbon-footprint products.
"Electronics accessories are not the best category to reach environmentally conscious customers," he said. "An accessory is a secondary item and it always puts you in the lower level of attention, whereas with toys we can put our concept and our brand in the first tier of attention for consumers."
The toy campaign is just beginning. Bioserie launched sales of its teethers, rattles, stack toys and toy cutlery in May on crowdfunding website indiegogo.com. The company hopes to sell them more broadly with toy retailers and websites later in the year.
While the company said it doesn't want to "stir things up too much" with the petrochemical plastics industry, its marketing is aimed squarely at separating itself from traditional petroleum-based materials.
It prominently raises concerns about health effects of vinyl, phthalates, bisphenol A, styrene and heavy metal additives like lead.
"Most available toys are made of oil-based plastics [and] it's very hard to know for sure that a product won't have any negative health effects on your baby now or later," said Bioserie co-founder Stephanie Triau Samman. "The information on toy packages are either inadequate, too technical for a normal person to understand or at times misleading."
Bioserie said its toys are the first in the world to be made completely of plant-based plastics and materials.
"Lately, some companies introduced toys that were made of recycled plastics or toys that were made of a mixture of bioplastics and oil based plastics," Kaplancali said. "However, to the best of our knowledge, we will be the first and the only brand to test and certify the 100 percent bio-based product claim."
It said it's one of the first companies in the world to receive 100 percent bio-based certification under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's BioPreferred program, and its products also meet ASTM standard 6866 for 0 percent fossil-based material content.
Kaplancali admits bioplastics have not had extensive studies on potential health effects of exposure, unlike the stacks of research on phthalates, BPA and other materials.
But he said bio-based materials are safer and more environmentally sustainable: "We are shielding the consumer from known oil-based harmful materials."
He said he first become intrigued with bioplastics in 2008 while working in the mobile phone industry and wanted to work on bringing them to consumer markets.
"We're providing a different choice, or alternative, for the consumer," he said. "Ultimately the market will decide what's best. This alternative did not exist prior to our work."

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Michael Howard Saul
Cigarettes are displayed in a deli in New York City.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday signed into law a bill that raises the minimum age to purchase tobacco products in New York City to 21 from 18, a policy his administration hopes will be replicated around the globe.
The new law – the strictest of any major city in the nation – is New York's latest effort to combat smoking in the five boroughs and marks a reversal for Mr. Bloomberg, who previously opposed legislation to increase the minimum age to buy tobacco products. The law will take effect in mid-May, more than five months after Mr. Bloomberg steps down as mayor.
A companion bill, also signed into law by the mayor on Tuesday, creates new penalties for the evasion of cigarette taxes, bans discounts on sales involving cigarettes, sets a price floor on packs of cigarettes and little cigars at $10.50 and requires inexpensive cigars to be sold in packages of no fewer than four.
"People always try to put things like selling cigarettes in the context of jobs and whether or not it helps or hurts stores," Mr. Bloomberg said at a bill-signing ceremony at City Hall on Tuesday . "I think that is just so outrageously misplaced. This is an issue of whether we're going to kill people. This century a billion people will die from smoking around the world. And we don't want any of the people to die to be New Yorkers."
Mr. Bloomberg, who quit smoking decades ago, said critics of the law who try to frame this issue as hurting the economy "really ought to look in a mirror and be ashamed."
Thomas Farley, the city's commissioner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said New York has made tremendous strides in reducing smoking in adults and teens, but he said more progress is needed. City statistics show roughly 20,000 public high-school students smoke in the city, and roughly 80% of all city smokers started before the age of 21. The rate of teenage smoking in the five boroughs fell to 8.5% in 2007, but has remained stagnant ever since.
"Each of these bill will save lives, each of these bills is historic and each of these bills will reverberate around the world," Dr. Farley said.
In 2006, Mr. Bloomberg said he opposed legislation that would raise the minimum age because he wasn't convinced that it would be effective.
"The best ways to reduce smoking among young people is to raise cigarette taxes because cigarette taxes have been shown to directly impact the younger people's ability to buy cigarettes," he was quoted as saying at the time.
Administration officials said Mr. Bloomberg has more recently been presented with new data from the United Kingdom that showed raising the smoking age could have an impact. After Britain raised the minimum sale age to 18 from 16 in 2007, there was a 30% decline in smoking among youth ages 16 to 17, according to statistics provided by City Hall.
In 2002, Mr. Bloomberg convinced the council to approve a citywide ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, a policy he often cites as one of the greatest accomplishments of his tenure. In 2011, the mayor signed legislation that extended the ban, prohibiting smoking in parks, beaches, marinas and on boardwalks and pedestrian plazas.
In a statement, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Council Member James Gennaro, the law's chief sponsor, said, "This legislation marks a major step forward in reducing youth smoking rates with the potential to spare thousands of New Yorkers from a lifetime of nicotine addiction and health problems."
Audrey Silk, founder of Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment, a city-based smokers' rights group, said supporters of the law are hypocrites.
"The same people who are saying this age group cannot be trusted to be smart enough or responsible enough to choose to smoke or not are the same people, these politicians, would love their vote because they're smart enough to know the issues and who to vote for," Ms. Silk said.
"This is nothing but paper," Ms. Silk said of the law. "It will do absolutely nothing."

Instead of serving cheese spreads separately, layer them for an attractive appetizer. Sliced almonds and chopped parsley add crunch and color.
Cold-pack cheese food comes in a small plastic container. Look for it in the dairy case near the other cheese products.
This easy yet impressive, do-ahead appetizer is perfect to take with you when you're supposed to bring something for nibbling. When you reach your destination, arrange the chilled cheese wheel on a platter with crackers surrounding it.

The plan I've briefly talked about in other ocassions (more details in the wiki) is getting a good shape, now I have a dbus-ified backend object for the shares list [1] and a library that allows just doing:
int main (int argc, char *argv[])) { GMainLoop *loop; StbSession *session; StbObject *shares_list;
g_type_init ();
session = stb_session_new (); shares_list = stb_shares_list_new (session);
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (shares_list), "changed", G_CALLBACK (foo), NULL);
... }
just to get a list of shared folders, sadly the hardest part right now is being to get a good name before creating a CVS module (libSTB isn't neither nice nor descriptive), so I brought up the issue in the #gst channel and some ideas for the name came up:
- BackWrap (from Backends Wrapper)
- GarBack (something about my back? I swear I didn't tell it! :)
- LibNacho (again my surname got mixed, but this name is tasty)
- GoBack (GObject backends?)
- LibOObs (Object Oriented backends system)
Honestly, I have to admit that I like the last one, it's fun and descriptive, and I don't get disturbed if I read "boobs" somewhere (nor to touch them, if the carrier allows me to do so), but people may find it offending [2], so I guess that I'll have to keep thinking in a name and fall back on this one if I don't find anything better... any suggestion? :)
[1] Of course, in an experimental branch
[2] remember the "pair of testicles" issue?
Other GNOME stuff
both Guadec-ES and Guadec are getting nearer, I'm impatient :)
It seems to be a good season for Heavy rock concerts in Madrid/Spain!, I've already got tickets for Porcupine tree + Anathema, Soul Sirkus, and Lorca rock Festival (in Murcia, featuring Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Running wild and others), I'm missing another good music festival in favour of Guadec, and had to refund the In extremo ticket, due to their concert being cancelled...
Congrats to Jeff and Pia!

Program Snapshot
The Nanomedicine Initiative has two major goals:
- Understand how the biological machinery inside living cells is built and operates at the nanoscale.
- Use this information to re-engineer these structures, develop new technologies that could be applied to treating diseases, and/or leverage the new knowledge to focus work directly on translational studies to treat a disease or repair damaged tissue.
The program began in 2005 with a national network of eight Nanomedicine Development Centers. Now, in the second half of this 10-year program, the four centers best positioned to effectively apply their findings to translational studies were selected to continue receiving support.

I've finally drunk the git kool aid. I'd tried it before, but didn't inhale. Maybe I'm just feeling the effects of that cocktail of mixed metaphors but I really like it.
No more manually copying files between my home machine and my netbook (which isn't big enough or strong enough to handle a whole gcc subversion checkout, let alone the whole git repo) so I can work on the train. And I've already created about one new local branch a day in my gcc clone, so I can juggle fixes for several different PRs at once without constantly applying and reverting patches to my svn working dir.
I signed up to github so I can easily fork other people's repositories and send pull requests via the web interface, but decided to use gitorious for hosting some of my own projects. I like that gitorious itself is open source, but unfortunately ... it just doesn't work as well! I don't mind occasional weird rendering bugs on the web pages, but now I can't push/pull anything, due to an ssh error that didn't happen previously. Ho hum, I'll stick with it for a while yet. Github, on the other hand, is pretty damn slick.

I am all for alternative fuel vehicles. Anything to quit sendng money to the middle east!
But just like you video says, these vehicles if proven to be viable are at least 10 to 25 years away!
Here is Ford's hyrdrogen powered pick up. Checkout the date when they displayed this truck at the Detroit auto show.
Cost will be very high, way beyond what the vast majority can afford. But, at least we are developing alternative.
BTW, just about all the automakers around the world are experimenting with prototypes.
So, how about tax payers getting thier money back from GM?

Ford announced that sometime soon (2012?) ALL their vehicles will be auto-on/auto-off technology. Your engine will shut off after sitting still at a stoplight for some period of time.

Barns are a compliment to any farmstead or country living acreage. They provide a valuable storage and animal comfort and control facility. Most animals do not need a highly insulated, heated, or cooled barn facility. Animals mostly need protection from the wind and snow in winter and shade from the hot blazing sun in the summer. Horse and Livestock owners are often dismayed to have built a fine barn for their animals, only to find them standing outside in a rain or snow storm.
When building a barn, be sure to consider prevailing winds, early or late sun orientation, drainage, ease of access for cleaning, feeding of animals, size of animals to utilize the facility, durability and longevity of the construction materials, what the barn will be used for (animals, equipment, or hay storage, etc.) as well as fit, costs, and how the barn will compliment the home and other out buildings.
Remember: "There is nothing as permanent as a temporary building", so be sure to plan ahead, look into the future and build the barn you need today as well as tomorrow.
Utah State University Extension does not advocate any of the barn suppliers listed below, but instead has chosen a few from Internet searches that show a variety of kinds, shapes, sizes and appearances of barns and sheds.
We hope you find your dream barn from these examples and we welcome any other questions concerning barns and/or horse and livestock shelters.

MAX Muay Thai Announces August 10th Event Headlined by Buakaw
- Written by Dave Walsh
Consider this some of the most exciting news that we all saw from a mile away to happen in quite a while. After the recent movement in Buakaw's legal status and camp and MAX posting about the "best is back" on their Facebook page it was very clear what was going down. It is now, apparently, official according to their Facebook page.
On August 10th MAX Muay Thai will originate from Zhengzhou, China and feature a four-man tournament. The four men in the 68kg tournament are Liam Harrison, Sagetdao Petchphayathai, Zhang De Zeng and Martin Ahktar. Those four make for a pretty interesting tournament, although you could argue that Segetdao and Harrison are the clear favorites to meet in the Finals, but that's OK with us.
They also have confirmed that Buakaw Banchamek will be making his official return to the ring, meaning actually fighting and not involved in an exhibition, at this event. His opponent has yet to be named and on a month's notice I do not suspect that it will be a huge fight like everyone wants, but be patient.
