Biker films himself getting arrested2:46
20secs: A motorcyclist used a helmet camera to film himself jumping red lights, racing, pulling wheelies and getting arrested.
A MOTORCYCLIST has been banned from driving after being caught out by his own helmet camera, which he used to film his wild riding.
Lewis Shallcross, 20, of Crownhill in Plymouth, England, had his KTM 125cc motorbike confiscated by Judge Paul Darlow, who also demanded his helmet, the Daily Mirror reported.
Police in an unmarked car saw Shallcross riding his motorbike at about 60mph (100kmh) on a road with a 30mph (50kmh) limit in Plymouth just before midnight last August. His headlights were switched off.
When Shallcross was stopped, a police officer saw he had a camera mounted on his helmet.
When police looked at the footage they saw Shallcross had filmed himself pulling wheelies, speeding over a footbridge and through a park almost hitting other vehicles. He also filmed himself racing a friend with no lights on.
In December Shallcross was stopped by police again after he was speeding along a street and pulling wheelies.
Shallcross pleaded guilty at Plymouth Crown Court to dangerous driving and careless driving.
Shallcross, a roofer, paid £3,500 ($6400) for the motorbike and spent another £4,000 ($7300) on it, the court heard.
He was also ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work, banned from driving for 18 months and has to take a re-test for the dangerous driving, and had his licence endorsed and must pay a £60 ($100) victim surcharge for the careless driving.

Answer to a Question from the Ohio LP
Thanks for your question. I have read the comments on the Ohio Freedom Webpage. The present time does not allow for divisions. We have to get together and support Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party. The idea that the Libertarians are former Republicans and Democrats does not hold water. In fact, the Libertarian Party was formed in 1972 from disaffected Republicans and Democrats.
We have to support Bob Barr and The Libertarian Party [as well as the Declaration of Independence and the 1787 Constitution] for two reasons.
1. If things continue the way they are, the USA will be headed for a civil war, dismemberment, or conquest by another country. We are already in a dictatorship mode. For those who say that "it cannot happen in America" tend to forget history. I have not forgotten what happened in Cuba, Venezuela, and even the Roman Republic. It is happening here.
2. The state motto of the Commonwealth of Kentucky says "United We Stand. Divided We Fall". The Kentucky State Motto reflects the fact that lovers of liberty must unite now or as soon as possible or be prepared for the consequences [see number one] in which our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will curse us for thinking about ourselves instead of the future generations.
I hope to have answered your questions.
In Liberty
Una respuesta
Lovers of liberty must unite by finding common ground. And humans must take care of each other – person to person.
But I reject the premise that 'dismemberment' of the USA would be somehow awful or that 'United We Stand.Divided We Fall' as political subdivisions. Yes, it would be the end of an era. No, it would not be a sad day if people grouped by their choices and responsibilities.
The right of voluntary association and self-determination was American long before the Union became the Holy Grail in the 1850s. If you take away those freedoms and continue to load regulations, interventions and taxes on our heads, there WILL be a civil war.

The state Supreme Court's ruling this week that trained school personnel can administer insulin to students provides not only long-sought relief for diabetic children and their parents, it marks a victory for reasonableness over financially self-interested unions.
The legal dispute, which has dragged on since 2005, originated in the San Ramon Valley and Fremont Unified school districts, which had refused to make provisions for diabetic students who require regular monitoring of their glucose levels and administration of insulin.
Under federal law, schools must provide assistance to students with disabilities. But some school officials were refusing. In the San Ramon case, the school principal told a child's mother that she would have to be on-call at all times to administer insulin.
A federal court lawsuit followed. The case had widespread implications. Roughly one in 400 school-age children nationwide have diabetes, including about 14,000 in California. They don't all need insulin injections and many who do are old enough to self-administer without supervision.
But, for the rest, there are only about 2,800 school nurses statewide. Just 5 percent of California schools have full-time school nurses. Yet most children requiring insulin injections need them about the same time, around lunchtime. And many students need insulin at other, sometimes unpredictable, times during the day.
The challenge is how to serve so many students with limited staffing. In 2007, a reasonable settlement was reached with the state Department of Education. Under the deal, when possible, school nurses would administer insulin. When they weren't available, other school personnel, who would receive special training, would provide the injections.
But the American Nurses Association, which was more concerned with manufacturing jobs than protecting precious education dollars for, well, education, kept fighting, this time alleging in state court that California law allowed only licensed health care providers to administer insulin to diabetic students.
They won superior and appellate court rulings, but fortunately the American Diabetes Association took the case to the state high court. The justices ruled Monday that California law expressly permits trained, unlicensed school personnel to administer insulin and other prescription medications in accordance with written direction from a student's physician and parents.
Unfortunately, this is probably not the last we'll hear from the nurses' unions. They're already talking about seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention. Meanwhile, look for them to haggle over the meaning of "trained" personnel, and to discourage nurses from providing that training.
And, of course, look for them to lobby state legislators to change the law, to force schools to spend limited funds to employ more nurses — to put the interests of one special interest ahead of the children's educational needs.
Lawmakers must say no. For students' sake, it's time to move on.

Raipur, Nov. 24: The personal animosities of Vidya Charan Shukla and Mayavati are the driving factor behind the electoral equations in poll-bound Chhattisgarh.
Shuklas hostility is directed towards chief minister Ajit Jogi of the Congress and Mayavatis towards the BJP.
With Mayavati iterating our main enemy is the BJP; do anything to defeat the BJP, the party, in a rather desperate move, has fallen back on a tacit understanding with Shukla, a former Congress heavyweight.
This may suit Shukla fine, though his Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is supposed to keep away from both the Congress and the BJP, because as he says: After all, the BJP and my party have a common enemy: Ajit Jogi.
The remark follows a cold stare when he is asked about the unwritten pact with the BJP, and his retort: Nothing that I know of.
Shukla, significantly, does not protest when BJPs Romesh Vyas, who is the Union mines minister, says in front of him at a private programme: To overthrow Jogi, we are with V.C. Shukla.
The rationale is similar to that of the unwritten alliance between Mayavatis Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Congress.
Seniors in the BJP foresee a chance of victory for the party in 18 Assembly constituencies that it has never won, including Kota, Dharamjaygarh, Ambikapur, Surguja and Dandilohara.
All are Congress pocket boroughs and the BJP hopes to wrest them in a friendly contest with Shuklas NCP, which by splitting votes will shift a share of backward and upper-caste votes to the BJP.
Besides, there are 10 other seats including Sauri, Jashpur, Tapkara and Tohragaon where the party, with Shuklas blessings, seeks to ensure a sweep as the Congress has won them only once since the 1977 polls.
The BJP has resorted to the tactic as even an aggressive campaign, marked by vituperative slogans, has failed to reassure the party of its chances in the December 1 polls.
It has been targeting chief minister Jogi by crying jaali jaati, jaali aaye
petrol pump ke liye jaali shapath patra (fake caste, fake income
fake affidavit for a petrol pump), in a reference to the dispute over his tribal status, alleged disproportionate income and a relatives fake affidavit.
The state Congress chief spokesman, Rajendra Tiwari, says that (Shuklas tacit alliance) is the result of an ideological adulteration.
But the 77-year-old Vidya bhaiya, as Shukla is called in Raipur, could not have forgotten the evaporation of his support in the Congress when key leaders of his faction were inducted into Jogis team.
The humiliation would have rankled more as the Shukla brotherly clan Vidya Charan and elder brother Shyama Charan had held sway in the region ever since their father Ravishankar Shukla became the first chief minister of Madhya Pradesh.
Once a formidable candidate for the Congress, Shukla snapped ties with the party this April and joined Sharad Pawars NCP.
The Shukla-Jogi rivalry hit rock bottom when Ramavtar Jaggi, an NCP treasurer, was killed early this year.
Jaggis son had filed an FIR alleging the involvement of the chief ministers men in the murder.
So now, both the BJP and Vidya bhaiya are united in animosity against Ajit Jogi, says V.K. Jain, a retired social researcher in Raipur.
The challenge before the BJP, perceived to be pro-upper caste, is to draw tribal and Dalit votes by ultimately co-opting Shuklas support base as the communities hold the key to electoral victory.
Tribals constitute over 35 per cent of the states population and Dalits 12.19 per cent, according to the 1991 census, and a total of 44 constituencies are reserved for both.
Shukla may just be able to help as he has now managed to cobble together a respectable group with tribal leaders such as Arvind Netam by his side, his associates say.
The Congress, in a counter move, has strengthened its ties with the BSP that has fielded candidates in 54 of the 90 seats in the Assembly.
Of the 54 seats, the BSP would have a friendly contest with the Congress in 34 to prevent the BJP from making inroads into Dalit belts.
In the 1998 polls, the BSP had won three seats and was placed third in 20 others.
With Mayavati spitting fire at the BJP at a campaign rally in the state last week, she appears as strongly opposed to the BJP as Shukla is to Jogi.

text: Steve Silverman Joined Glenn To Talk Hernandez Case Managing partner of Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin and White, Steve Silverman joined the Glenn Younes show tonight to discuss Aaron Hernandez. Steve described what the hearing was about today. "It is a probable cause hearing. Which all that means is there is some link between the defendant and the crime." Then, Glenn asked Steve about Aaron Hernandez' appearance at the hearing and the possibility of getting new tattoos in jail. "I don't think the court would allow any evidence of what a tattoo is or what it means because I don't think it's relevant to whether or not he shot Lloyd." Then Steve spoke on how Carlos Ortiz and Earnest Wallace are related to the shooting. "I think it's very clear that Ortiz is cooperating. He's trying to negotiate a walk." "If the prosecution is convinced that Hernandez its his idea and he's the ring leader and he's the one that fired the shots. They're going to play Ortiz against him."

With the help of the immortals, Claus settles into human life in the Laughing Valley. And as he enters into manhood, he creates one of his most famous inventions: toys. L. Frank Baum, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.
This marks the 500th episode of The Classic Tales Podcast. Since we began back in 2007, we have visited the worlds of Tom Sawyer, Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe, The Arabian Nights, and many others. We have also delved into the wonders of the short story with O. Henry, Guy de Maupassant, H.G. Wells and more. But some of my favorite episodes are the ones that are, to me at least, the lesser-known tales. We've been able to explore the ancient roman world of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, the complex fantasy of Ambrose Bierce's The Monk and the Hangmans' Daughter, and the dashing adventures of Arséne Lupin just to name a few. So here's to 500 episodes, and here's to 500 more.
If you have enjoyed The Classic Tales Podcast over the years, please consider becoming a supporting member at www.thebestaudiobooks.com. Your support ensures that we can continue producing professional audio productions of these treasured classics, so that everybody can enjoy them – especially those who otherwise would never be exposed to classic literature.

Greatness, is an attribute that everyone on this Planet is seeking to attain, no matter what they do for a living, no matter how they live their lives and no matter what or who they aspire to be. And that is because all of us were created with Greatness deep within our cells and inside our heart and mind. And so we are compelled to do something great, we are powerless in our constant search and thirst for something meaningful, for something that will establish our legacy forever.
And so this is why Greatness is such the epitome of all that is to be accomplished in life. And so this is why you must do whatever that is within your power to create that in all your endeavour. But just how do you begin?
Well Beloved, you begin to create Greatness by having a mindset that all you think, say and do are Eternal. Yes Eternal, in other words every thought of yours that transmit into words being spoken or some actions being taken, are for ever recorded in the Akashic Records, or the Eternal records of the Universe, along with in the mind and history of Humanity (Remember that in all Religions there will be a Judgment Day, when You will be asked why you spoke such and you did such..). And so starting today, You must be mindful of each action that you take, each word that you speak out loud, each moment that you live.
All because you must keep Greatness in mind, you must constantly keep it in the forefront of your mind, that you want to make a difference, you need to be known for something, you have to leave a legacy, you must be the light of this dark path that Humanity is on. And it really doesn't matter what you do for a living, what you are involved in, what you strive to become and who you associate with. All that matters is for you to ask yourself: Is what I am speaking right now, is what I am doing right now, and is what I am involved in right now all working toward my Greatness?
If Not, Then Do Not Speak It. If Not, Then Do Not Do It. If Not, Then Do Not Get Involved In It. Because your Great Name, your Amazing Character, your Eternal Legacy and your Greatness are all at stakes. SO CREATE YOURS TODAY IN EVERY WAY... Your Life Advocate, James Dazouloute

Obamessiah: Signs And Wonders
You remember these stickers?
Yeah, they used to go up in your tragically hip pockets of suburban anomie across the country. Whereever disaffected stoners and skaters would gather, they'd slap up those odd little Andre the Giant stickers. The guy who did them simplified them after a while and pared it down to just ol' Andre's face and the word OBEY underneath it. Because capitalism makes you a zombie, or something.
What you may not realize is that the guy behind that…er…neighborhood beautification project…is doing the artwork for the Obama campaign.
Shepard Fairey is his name, and Gerard Vanderleun has his number. It was an extremely odd choice to bring Fairey on board, but I can see why the Obamanites might reach out to him. This guy is tragically trendy, and he is a master of subversive propaganda. What Roy Liechtenstein did for comic books, Shep Fairey has done for advertising and political propaganda. He uses the conventions of the form and tweaks them, adds in a super-sized order of postmodern irony, giving you what at first looks like an advertisement or a poster, but really might mean nothing at all…or something else entirely. It's clever, and hipsters love it because it messes with the squares but also subverts the capitalist paradigm and (what's actually cool ) laughs at totalitarian, fascist-style Big Brotheresque propaganda. Plus he's a moonbat.
But here's the weird part: they didn't bring Shep Fairey on to be ironic or to make little jokes at Obama's expense. They brought him on to play it straight. They want him to churn out the propaganda without the wink, without the gag, without the absurdity. They want the pure splash of iconic dear-leader worship, which is why you get bold, strong-man posters for Obama that look like this:
That looks kind of cool, but in light of the weird Messianic hope-and-change cult of personality campaign that Obama's been running, it's frightening. We just don't do the "ten foot tall picture of the leader" thing in America. We quite rightly associate that with some very un-American politics.
But don't be alarmed; this story has a happy ending. Gerard busted out the photoshop and brought the irony back into Fairey's neo-fascist Obama posters. Go back up to the first link and click. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, at least scroll through the pictures to the last one and you'll get his joke.
I hope he's gonna make some T-Shirts off of that. I'd wear one.
On a related note: everyone's seen this, right? I think it's some secret Hillarite getting in his anonymous, deniable digs:
Delicious. The Shep Fairey signs quite naturally make an appearance in there somewhere.

Current therapeutic approaches to Crohn's Disease (corticosteroids, neutralization of TNF-?) rely upon broad-spectrum immunosuppression, an approach that is not uniformly effective and is frequently associated with major side-effects. To address this market gap, Radikal Therapeutics is developing a novel soluble receptor decoy receptor fusion protein (hR-421) that induces immune tolerance in antigen (Ag)-specific activated T- cells. Constructed from Ig-Fc and the second ecto domain of the CCR5 receptor, hR-421 binds and neutralizes all 3 CCR5-binding ligands (chemokines MIP-?, MIP-?, RANTES) and prevents their binding and activation of CCR1, CCR3, and CCR5. In contrast to CCR5 inhibitors, mR-421 (the murine homologue of hR-421) blocks CCR5-independent pro-inflammatory pathways and is effective in CCR5 knock-out mice. Therapy with mR-421 profoundly suppresses experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a classic autoimmune model system, even when treatment is initiated after disease onset. Moreover, Ag-specific effector Th1 cells isolated from EAE donors treated in vivo with mR-421 produce substantially less pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppress EAE in adoptive transfer experiments. The purpose of the current application is to extend the protective effects of the R-421 technology beyond the preliminary findings in neuroinflammation and establish its potential benefit in a clinically-relevant model of Crohn's Disease. The proposed studies are specifically designed to test the hypothesis that mR-421 attenuates preexisting colitis via its suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the intestinal mucosa.
Specific Aims : Establish the pharmacodynamic profile of mR-421 in mice utilizing 1) a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model and 2) a dintrobenzenesulfonic (DNBS) model of intestinal inflammation Treatment with mR-421 (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/day QD IP), an irrelevant IgG control (10 mg/kg QD IP), dexamethasone (1 mg/kg QD IP), or anti-murine TNF-? (10 mg/kg QD IP) will begin 7 days after the start of oral DSS or intrarectal DNBS exposure, a timepoint of significant ongoing colitis. A sham group without exposure to DSS or mR-421 will be utilized as a control. Animals will be monitored for body weight and clinical signs of illness: hunched-over appearance, weight loss, loose stools/diarrhea, and bloody stools. After 10 days of therapy, the intestine will be analyzed for biochemical, immunohistochemical, and morphologic parameters indicative of inflammatory injury. Progression to the Phase 2 SBIR will require that with mR-421: 1) dose-dependently ameliorates tissue injury, as demonstrated by >50% reductions in all of the following injury parameters: lipid peroxidation, neutrophil (PMN) infiltration, peroxynitrite (ONOO-) production, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase formation, gross and histologic injury scores, and 2) demonstrate a clear mechanism of action, as shown by suppression of mucosal pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the DNBS and DSS models. All of the above effects of mR-421 must be superior relative to the irrelevant IgG control group and at least non-inferior relative to therapy with an anti-murine TNF-? mAb and dexamethasone (at p<0.05).
Crohn's Disease remains recalcitrant to existing therapies, with a high percentage of patients enduring recurrent bouts of inflammation and intestinal damage. We are developing a novel drug that specifically blocks the inflammatory process in this condition. We will test this agent in a series of clinically-relevant animal models of autoimmune colitis.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank's involvement in reforms of developing countries may do more harm than good, according to two Wharton School of Business studies led by Witold Henisz.
Indeed, IMF and World Bank programs can produce a backlash when they are implemented in countries where domestic support for free-market reforms is lacking. In some cases, the result is a "mob on the street" scenario where angry crowds protest and political unrest prevails.
Henisz and his colleagues examined 71 countries between 1977 and 1999 and found:
- IMF or World Bank involvement (multilateral borrowing) increases the likelihood of a developing country privatizing its markets and separating the regulatory regime from the executive branch.
- However, such involvement does not reduce politicization of the regulatory regime, nor does it improve market liberalization (access of firms to enter the market).
- Moreover, investors who send money to countries facing stronger-than-average pressure to enact IMF or World Bank reforms are 63 percent more likely to face some type of government intervention.
In other words, countries that are not faced with the internal demand for free-market reforms are likely to fail when coerced into them by international organizations.
Promoting market reforms requires winning over a country's populace through unusual steps, such as "playing politics," doing community work, and talking to citizens on their terms, say the researchers.

What Is It About Maps?
Terry McDermott
I HAVE A MAP THAT SHOWS nearly every commercial building and names the occupants in most of them, floor by floor, for large sections of central Tokyo. I have here in my desk other, less-ambitious city maps of Albuquerque, Anchorage, Beijing, Bangkok, Jakarta, Los Angeles, Moses Lake, Portland, Pullman, two San Franciscos, Santa Fe, Shanghai, Seoul, Spokane and Walla Walla.
I have combination maps of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, the Tri-Cities of Pasco, Kennewick and Richland, and the Quad Cities of Davenport, Rock Island, Moline and Bettendorf. I have state highway maps of Hawaii, New Mexico, Montana, Oregon, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio and two maps of Alaska, one – for reasons I no longer remember – in German.
I also have a map of the Pearl River Delta in southern China, maps of the Republic of Korea and the People's Republics of China and Vietnam. I have maps of the legislative districts of Washington, the fishing zones of the South Pacific, radiation dispersion in Nagasaki and hog densities in Iowa.
That's in my desk.
On it, I have a road map of the state of Washington, another of the city of Seattle, a building-by-building map of the University of Washington campus, and a map of Puget Sound ferry routes.
On a bookshelf next to my desk, I have a world atlas, a state of Washington atlas that displays such things as timber and mineral reserves by county, a map of golf courses in Northern California, a bicycle mapbook of Seattle, telephone directories with ZIP and area-code maps, and a guide book with maps of every country and large city in East Asia.
Atop a file cabinet next to the desk I have a set of Seattle plat maps. I have a map I made myself showing who has owned every piece of property since the city was settled in a six-block area in the middle of town. I have census tract maps of the Puget Sound region and a housing deficiency map of the Yesler-Atlantic neighborhood.
I have 18 maps in the trunk of my car and a 144-page book of local street maps in the back seat.
In my computer, I have two more atlases, one of the United States, another of the world. The world atlas allows me to select a map of a particular country and, by merely pointing and clicking a couple of buttons, find out such things as the number of telephones in Brunei (168 per 1,000 people) and the average annual sugar-beet crop in Algeria (117,000 metric tons). At home, I have a map of the sky. In my basement I have a box full of papers, many of them maps or full of references to maps, the remnants of a lawsuit brought by a former neighbor. At the heart of the lawsuit was an interpretation of what the maps said, over who owned some land.
The map said it was mine. The neighbor said it was hers. The map was wrong.
I do not consciously collect maps, but as you can tell, I have a hard time throwing them away. They accumulate around me. I'm not all that unusual in this respect.
Rand McNally, the largest commercial map publisher in the world, recently surveyed people buying Rand McNally road atlases. They found out that most the people buying the atlases already had at least one other road atlas at home. Who knows why they felt the need for another, says Jerry Jones, manager of specialized services for Rand McNally.
Jones says there are people who will come into a map store and ask simply, "What have you got that's new?"
It used to embarrass him, he says, to tell such people that the only thing that had come in lately was, say, a new street map of Cleveland.
It didn't matter.
"Oh, my, you've got a nice Cleveland," they'd say. "That's a good-looking Cleveland. Do you have Columbus?"
"Who knows?" Jones says.
People who like maps like maps. I have no Clevelands. The maps I do have are diverse in quality and utility, but they have at least one thing in common. People seldom notice them, or if they do, they never mention it.
We live, as one writer recently put it, in a map-immersed world. Maps are ubiquitous, but unremarkable. They are background noise, ambient information.
Several weeks ago I laid four maps made by Raven Maps and Images, a tiny company in Oregon, on top of an empty desk near mine. I do not sit in a high-traffic area of the office I work in, but I spent most of the rest of the week in unsolicited conversation with a steady stream of people about these maps.
"What's that?" people would say, looking at a particular feature on a topographical map of the United States. "Is that Green Lake?"
"What's this?" they'd ask, looking at what appear to be mountains in the middle of the United States, where many people supposed there shouldn't be any.
Although this topographic map has no cities on it, people invariably would look and find places they had lived or visited and point them out. If they were from California, they often would look at the immense flat plain in the middle of their state and say with some sense of discovery, "So that's where the central valley is."
And, finally, many of the people would say: "Where did you get these maps?"
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING maps almost as long as there have been people. References to maps have been found as early as the seventh century B.C., and there is reason to think they predate even that. The U.S. government alone has produced more than 250,000 maps, not copies, but distinctive individual maps. In a normal year, the government will sell more than 161 million copies of these.
The American Automobile Association distributes 55 million maps a year. Rand McNally sells 8 million atlases a year and more than 400 million total maps. Its road atlas has been on The New York Times' paperback bestseller list every year for the past two decades.
More than a billion maps are printed every year. Some of these maps are quite useful. Some are nearly the opposite. Many are like the maps in my desk. They are invisible.
Raven Maps and Images was founded in Medford, Ore., in 1987 after Michael Beard, a cigarette salesman for Phillip Morris, met Stuart Allan, an artist-turned-cartographer, at a baby shower. Allan wanted to make beautiful maps. Beard wanted to sell them.
To get off the ground, Beard gathered three maps that Allan's company, Allan Cartography, had made as calendar decorations – one of Hawaii from the point of view of a blue whale, one of Mount St. Helens before and after the blast, and a third of the San Francisco Bay area.
Beard took the maps with him on his cigarette circuit. He would pin them up on university bulletin boards with an address and telephone number while he went off to sell tobacco. Amazingly, the phone started ringing. The maps, which were in many ways novelties, sold themselves.
Beard was convinced there could be a market for a type of map Allan had been thinking about for years, large-scale topographic maps of each of the 50 states. They would be what are known in the cartography business as elevation-tinted, shaded, relief maps. They would be big, up to 4 feet by 6 feet. They would not fold or fit in a glove box.
They would hang on walls. They would jump at you from across the room.
What distinguishes Raven's maps? There are plenty of topographic maps in the world and have been for centuries. They evolved into their modern form from maps made for Napoleon's artillery brigades. Artillery commanders needed to know distances and elevations of terrain. Topographic maps gave it to them.
The color schemes Raven uses aren't new, either. What distinguishes the maps, quite simply, is that they are beautiful.
One map in particular, called "Landforms and Drainage of the 48 States," is perhaps the most beautiful map ever made. It is the only non-color map Raven sells, a 37-inch-by-58-inch black-and-gray map of the contiguous United States. No cities, in fact, no political units of any kind, are named on it.
It shows, as its title states, landforms and drainage, not the sort of thing that normally enthralls. But despite its subject and its scale (1 inch equals 55 miles), the level of detail on the map – in other words, the amount of information – is astonishing.
"The quality of a map is defined by its clarity and ease of reading," Allan says.
The relief is so sharp and the detail so great on the Landforms map that people often mistake it for a photograph.
On it, the West is alive with land rising and falling, rivers gathering and tumbling. Basins are bathtubs, filled with water and what grows with it. The Rockies look like a wall forbidding passage. Is it any wonder the politics of the West are different? It looks like a separate country.
The more sedate rest of the nation is awakened on the map. The Arkansas River is suddenly significant. That batch of Midwestern mountains no one knew was there – the Ozarks – arises. The bayou country is wet and flat.
I come from a tiny Iowa town of no physical distinction. I can find the exact location of this town on the Landforms map merely by tracing the Maquoketa River up to my home valley.
In the east, the scraping of the great glaciers looks as if it had happened just yesterday.
The map has such a strong, three-dimensional quality that even after being around it for weeks, I still have the urge to touch it, to feel the texture, which of course it doesn't have.
It's an illusion.
Raven sells an overwhelming majority of its maps through mail order. The company sends catalogs all over the world to anybody who asks for one and tens of thousands of people who don't.
Every couple of months a buyer will return a map, saying it wasn't what he expected. The map, the buyer will complain, isn't bumpy the way it looked in the catalog.
RAVEN'S MAIN BUSINESS is selling the individual state maps Allan had originally envisioned. The state maps take on average 1,200 hours each to produce. Some – those with steep relief and lots of it – take longer. Since Raven was founded in 1987, 27 states have been completed, including all the Western states. The whole country will be finished sometime before the end of the century.
Allan and Beard went into debt to finance the first eight states. The company had almost no revenue and was doing eight of these things that no one had ever done, and for which there was no certain market, all at once. This made for some tense days, said Lawrence Andreas, the production foreman at Allan Cartography.
"No one knew if there was a market for it. Not very many people worked this big," Andreas said.
Maps are not drawn; they are built, Allan has written. The great modern revolution in mapmaking – digitization – has yet to arrive at Raven, except for use in the production of a couple of novelty maps. Computers can't do the work, the imagining, that Stuart Allan wants in his maps.
The process, instead, is incredibly low-tech and laborious, involving weeks of hand-etching contour lines on photo-sensitive films and carefully shading the relief features with pencils. Dyes are washed over the films in a search for the correct coloring. The California map alone has 23 separate color combinations. Washington has 14.
In the beginning, the small crew of cartographers and technicians worked extraordinarily long hours for not much more than a promise. Detail was tacked upon detail, sheet upon sheet, until the composite – the maps – began to emerge. When the maps did start to take shape, to become what Allan had envisioned, the cartographers were rewarded.
"Gosh, these are beautiful," Andreas remembers thinking. "Stuart had the idea from the start. He was right, and damn, we did it."
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT by 1987 every sort of map that could have been made would have been made. Aside from the need to update maps as countries come together or apart, how could there possibly be new maps?
The answer lies in the nature of maps, which are not, as we often suppose, neutral objects.
Why are people still writing books? Because not every story has been told. Mapmaking is the same. It's not a job that can ever be finished. It is not just the Earth that is being mapped, but the mapmaker's conception of it. Stuart Allan's conception of the Earth is unique.
Will Tefft of Map Link, a California-based map wholesaler, says without qualification, "Allan Cartography is the best cartographic production company on the continent right now. … When you're dealing with a graphic image, there's an artistry to it. That's Allan Cartography. They have the eye. A lot of companies try it and they don't have the eye. It's art."
"There have been plenty of gifted cartographers who spend their whole lives unable to make beautiful maps and wanting to," Allan says. "They rarely get to do it right. Cartography is very expensive because it's very labor-intensive and there's no way to push it faster."
To Allan, the most amazing thing about Raven is not the maps, which he finds endlessly fascinating, but the fact they are selling by the thousands, which he finds inexplicable. Last year, Raven sold 49,000 maps. The author John McPhee has used Raven maps on the covers of two of his books. Allan says the most significant reason behind the company's success is its 800 number.
Raven hit the market just as a revolution was under way in the American commercial map industry. In 1985 there were probably only a dozen map stores in the entire United States, says Tefft. There are now hundreds of specialty-map stores and thousands of other places where maps are sold.
Mapping was to again become a full-scale creative enterprise. For decades the industry had been dominated by – indeed, was nearly the exclusive preserve of – oil companies. Nearly all the maps that anyone had were road maps.
In the early part of the 20th century, as oil companies began searching for ways to entice people to use their products, they hit upon the idea of using road maps as advertisements. By the 1960s the free road map was a staple of almost every gas station in the country.
When you thought of maps, you did not think of something to go on the wall but something to go on your lap.
"What most people knew about maps was you used to get them for free and you'd use them, clean your dipstick with them and throw them away," says Michael Beard.
The free road maps might have kept drivers from getting lost, but they virtually destroyed creative commercial cartography in the United States. Then came the oil shocks of the 1970s. Using less petroleum rather than more became the new ideal. Oil companies began cutting back on advertising. The maps began to disappear. They then started to reappear, but this time with price tags on them.
By 1985, the free road map was an historical icon. Map publishers, who had been selling millions of maps to the oil companies for decades, had to think of new ways to sell their products. New forms of marketing had to evolve; so did new markets.
"Initially, we thought the market would be academic cartographers," Beard says. "It turned out to be UPS drivers." Beard describes drivers making deliveries or pickups and lingering over the maps, eventually becoming customers.
GERARDUS MERCATOR, THE man who devised what was for hundreds of years the standard projection system for two-dimensional maps, created one of the first atlases. He called his atlas "cosmographical meditations," which indicates Mercator understood the subjective nature of mapmaking.
Maps are biased. They have opinions, or at least reflect the opinions of their authors. They often involve small fictions.
Many maps, for example, have on them things that often don't actually exist on the ground – borders between states or countries. Even the land masses themselves are altered to fit maps by the choice of projection method.
Denis Wood, author of "The Power of Maps," writes: "There is nothing natural about a map. It is a cultural artifact, a cumulation of choices made among choices every one of which reveals a value: not the world, but a slice of a piece of the world; not nature but a slant on it; not innocent but loaded with intentions and purposes; not directly but through a glass; not straight but mediated by words and other signs; not, in a word, as it is, but in … code."
Think about it. If you were to make a map of your neighborhood, what would you put on it? Everything in the neighborhood? Your neighbor, Joe? The contents of his attic? No, that would be impossible. What you would put on the map would probably be closer to nothing than to everything. You would edit the neighborhood, deciding what was important enough to be on your map. This would require ranking what you wanted to portray. You might even decide to emphasize some things, to ensure they stand out.
What is most astonishing about Raven's maps is the degree to which the announced intent of producing beauty also serves the purposes of revelation. What is revealed is not that the Earth is pretty. The map is pretty. What is revealed about the Earth are all these other things. Raven's maps give you a way of seeing things, finding things you had overlooked before. They are the opposite of a road map. They don't tell you how to get from here to there. They tell you where you are.

CFX Heat Transfer
Hello All,
I'm running a CFX Multifield simulation of flow over an airfoil that includes heat transfer modes. I do have a couple of questions...
-What's the difference between "Heat Flux" and "Wall Heat Flux"?
-Does either "Heat Flux" or "Wall Heat Flux" include all modes of heat transfer, i.e. convection, conduction, radiation? In other words, is either of these the total heat flux?
-Is a positive heat flux in or out of the body? Is it the same for "Wall Radiative Heat Flux" "Wall Heat Flux", etc...?

From AdamC - 15mm WWII Bazooka Teams (8 Points)
Nothing to fancy here just standard US uniforms mostly mid-war colors and gears. The Bazooka is the US AT weapon for infantry men and needs no introduction any one who plays us infantry or faces US infantry know there is no such thing as too many Bazooka Teams.
One of the guys has a leather jacket just to a slightly different look
I am racing to see if I can get my stuff for this week finished but it will be close. Until then we have 4 15mm figures for 8 points. A true point spit-wad if ever there was one :)
From Curt:
Ah, but these 8 points were just enough for you to pip past Ian for 8th place, so no mean victory there! Good job on these.
11 comments:
Nicely done Adam!ReplyDelete
Nice nip and tuck into 8th place Adam :)ReplyDelete
Those are some nice 15's! I like the mix of footgear too! I'm sorely tempted by all the neat 15mm WW2, but I'm going pulp and Sgt Rock, the Haunted Tank, and the Unknown Soldier will be more epic in 28...I really don't want to convert an Unknown Soldier in a smaller scale! ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
15mm Bazooka teams. What's not to like.ReplyDelete
A neat little points grab, Baz's you got to love them, unless your in a Panzer that is.ReplyDelete
Nice to jump back into 8th but I suspect IanW or someone else will jump me soon. I sent in two more entries after 11 PM last night... maybe too late. If so I shall have to hope the bump from my Hot entry can help me fend off those behind me.ReplyDelete
Nice figures Adam.ReplyDelete
Nice work Adam.ReplyDelete

Michigan Legislature Gags Local Officials On Ballot Proposals
Kathleen Gray of the Detroit Free Press has uncovered a potentially earth-shattering story from the Michigan legislature. Lawmakers have passed a measure that bans using public funds or resources to educate the public on any proposal appearing on a ballot within 60 days of the election; SB 0571 was approved by both the House and Senate in some late-night legislative wrangling before lawmakers skipped out of town for Christmas break. It was presented to the Governor for his signature at 10:52 on December 28.
This story of ambush is all-too-familiar to Michigan's civil rights organizations: This was "the final bill passed before the legislature adjourned… started out as a fairly innocuous campaign finance bill… was totally changed at the last minute in the House…that provision was added without any public hearings or notice to the parties that will be most affected… the revamped bill grew from 25 to 53 pages during the late-night session… Democrats objected to the bill, primarily because it wasn't shared with them until moments before a vote was taken… the bill passed, mostly along party lines…"
The exact language of the Bill reads:
Sec. 57 (3) EXCEPT FOR AN ELECTION OFFICIAL IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER DUTIES UNDER THE MICHIGAN ELECTION LAW, 1954 PA 116, MCL 168.1 TO 168.992, A PUBLIC BODY, OR A PERSON ACTING FOR A PUBLIC BODY, SHALL NOT, DURING THE PERIOD 60 DAYS BEFORE AN ELECTION IN WHICH A LOCAL BALLOT QUESTION APPEARS ON A BALLOT, USE PUBLIC FUNDS OR RESOURCES FOR A COMMUNICATION BY MEANS OF RADIO, TELEVISION, MASS MAILING, OR PRERECORDED TELEPHONE MESSAGE IF THAT COMMUNICATION REFERENCES A LOCAL BALLOT QUESTION AND IS TARGETED TO THE RELEVANT ELECTORATE WHERE THE LOCAL BALLOT QUESTION APPEARS ON THE BALLOT.

Blueberry Kush (Indica)
Blueberry is a mostly indica hybrid that provides a pleasant and long-lasting high when smoked. This marijuana has a sweet fruity smell and tastes like blueberries. Dutch Passion's version of Blueberry, which was derived from the original Delta 9 Collection, won first place in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup in the mostly indica category.
Judge Calls Last Year's Federal Marijuana Banking Guidance Memo A 'Nothingburger'
Marijuana businesses are largely boxed out of the banking industry. Most banks will not work with marijuana businesses because marijuana is illegal federally. Last year the United States Treasury Department issued 'guidance' on the issue in an attempt to help banks navigate through the rules. That 'guidance' proved to just create more confusion and chaos. The marijuana industry is massive, and growing constantly, yet it's an all-cash industry right now (except for the lucky few that have bank accounts, which could get shutdown at any time).
There needs to be a place that businesses can safely deposit their money and experience the benefits of a regulated banking system that all other state-legal industries experience. Today a credit union (Fourth Corner Credit Union) argued before a federal judge about how the credit union was chartered by the State of Colorado, but that the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has blocked the credit union's access to the nation's banking system, effectively preventing the credit union from working with the marijuana industry. The judge had mixed reactions, in that while the judge sympathizes with the credit union and marijuana industry, the judge isn't inclined to force the federal banking system to allow access to the credit union. Per the Associated Press:
U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson repeatedly said he sympathizes with the struggling pot businesses. Jackson twice called existing federal guidance on marijuana money a "nothingburger," meaning that memos from the Treasury and Department of Justice don't solve the federal-state conflicts caused by legalizing pot.

Alien Bubba (Hybrid)
This hybrid marijuana strain is the result of crossing the stable Bubba Kush with Alien Kush. The Kush x Kush blending brought about a solid variety that can grow in both indoor and outdoor setting. It can also thrive in the use of other growing mediums like hydro as well as adjust to monster cropping techniques and training imposed by expert growers. Mostly indica in its genetics, this weed plant grows to a medium height and has the tendency to be bushy with side branches stretching sideways and might need to be trimmed periodically.

Reviews of All Trust Home Care
Nancy122667 August 23, 2016
I am a past client of this provider
I used All Trust Home Care for about six weeks. They weren't stimulating mom. They would bathe her and help her dress. I would set the food out for breakfast and lunch and they would get it ready for her. She could eat by herself and then they basically were just sitting with her all day watching TV, and that was really not what we wanted. They were flexible to my needs, and billing was not an issue. We had a wonderful woman starting out, and then they pulled her after 2 weeks. We started another one who knew very little English, and my mom is hard of hearing and couldn't understand her, so then we had to go with a third person. Within six weeks, we had trained three different people which became a bit of a pain.

text: I'm loving this crap being stirred up by the liberal media. Trump is getting a bad rap and start, but by design. Liberals and some RINOs are scared to death of his potential for success. Additionally, many fence sitters are turning away from liberal media and anything else going on against Trump. I think this will backfire on the midterm people that think they are stealing congress away. This crap has opened the eyes of many sheeple and won't end well for democrats.

Phuket & Elephant Hills Combo
Day 1 – Elephant Experience
Pick up from your hotel or the airport in Phuket, Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Krabi, Surat Thani or even from Koh Samui and transfer to Khao Sok. En-route, one can catch glimpses of tropical rural life here in southern Thailand.
Upon arrival at Elephant Hills Camp, buffet lunch is served at 12h00; a variety of delicious Thai dishes cooked not too spicy awaits you. After lunch, you can relax during a jungle river canoe trip down the Sok River. The canoes are very stable and safe; life jackets are provided as well as a local river guide to paddle the canoe. Drift along the jungle river passing Limestone Mountains and cliffs covered with exotic tropical vegetation. Sometimes horn bill birds can be seen flying high overhead or reptiles basking in the sun on the riverbanks. From the canoe, you can experience some of the last areas of primary rainforest, a world that has changed little in thousands of years. Get out of the canoe and head over to the elephant sanctuary.
Here you can see, touch and learn about the life of Thai elephants and about the Elephant Hills elephant conservation project. Your guide will also teach you about the mahout, the elephant caretaker. While participating in our amazing Elephant Experience you will get very close to and even get your hands on these magnificent animals, you will have the chance to interact with them and learn the secrets of their mahouts. You will prepare and feed them one of their daily meals, including their dietary supplements that help with their digestion and their overall well-being; then watch them bathe before you scrub and wash them clean. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to really experience the Asian Elephant; this part of the world's largest land animal.
After all this activity close to nature, it is time for a hot shower in the unique bathroom of your luxury safari tent. Relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding jungle-covered mountains; this is 100 percent real nature! A wide selection of cocktails, wines and spirits is available at the Jungle explorer's club bar. Optional evening entertainment includes a movie presentation, a traditional Thai dance performance from local schoolchildren and a cooking demonstration; where you learn how to properly prepare Thai specialities.
At 20h00 it is time for dinner in this unique location beside the rainforest. The sounds and the atmosphere will make this a memorable meal. Spend the night in your luxury safari tent with a comfortable bed, reading lights, hot water and a western-style toilet. This is real luxury so close to the heart of the rainforest.
Day 2 – Spectacular Cheow Lan Lake
Wake up to the sounds of nature and birds calling from the bushes next to the tent. By the time, the sun comes up and the mist over the rainforest covered mountains to the south of Elephant Hills clears; gibbons' territorial morning calls echo down the valley. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in your tent for early risers; breakfast is at your leisure.
Today you will explore Cheow Lan Lake by local long tail boat. The man-made lake is surrounded by Limestone Mountains and cliffs covered in tropical rainforest that rise up from the shore of the lake and disappear somewhere in the far distance. The scenery has been compared to Guilin in China and Halong Bay in Vietnam. Few people know of the lake and even less have visited it. There are more than one hundred islands in the lake and it stretches over 60 km from North to South. In the 70's the area was a hide-out for communists and students opposing the military dictatorship, which well preserved the area's unique environment as it was spared from urbanisation.
You can enjoy the spectacular scenery from the boat and will have time to dip into the lake's emerald water. Please bring your swimwear; towels are provided at the local raft house, where you will stop over for lunch and relaxation. In the late afternoon return to Elephant Hills for dinner and overnight in your luxury tent. The jungle bar will be open for people wanting to exchange stories of their day's experiences at the lake; and as extra entertainment you can witness a different movie, a different dance performance and a different cooking demonstration today enough program to keep you busy until dinner, and enough action to ensure sweet dreams after you have been lulled to sleep by the background symphony of insects and frogs.
Day 3 – Little Jungle Adventure
Start the day with a wholesome breakfast before you come face to face with the jungle by exploring it on foot. It is not an army survival exercise, there are no prizes for the fastest, snakes and spiders do not jump out at you, it is just an excellent opportunity to explore the ecology of one of the world's oldest rainforests, to see a great variety of exotic plants, tropical hardwood trees with huge roots, orchids, palms, ferns, bamboos, mosse. The variety is huge. Birds such as the horn-bill live high up above, gibbons can often be heard calling to their mates, a macaque or a leaf monkey may be swinging through the branches, beautiful butterflies buzz around, every day is different, but it is always truly wonderful to discover the great variety of life forms that co exists here together.
Walk slowly. Look, learn and listen. Then you too will start to discover some of the secrets of the rainforest. Weather dependent lunch can be served in the rainforest, cooked in bamboo, an old tradition of jungle explorers from past centuries. Sadly, around noon, it is already time to return to Elephant Hills and after a refreshing shower the onward transfer to your next hotel or the airport awaits you. All good things ends, they say, but luckily, this unique experience will remain in your memory for the rest of your life.
Please kindly note that all mentioned activities depend on local conditions and may be subject to change.
All itineraries may be subject to change, due to; weather, local and political conditions and for reasons outside of Elephant Hills control on the day of the tour. Under those circumstances, tour itineraries will run as closely to the issued itinerary as possible.

|How can I bypass the Windows NT security check and automatically logon?
|You can skip the Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0
security checks by editing the registry using Regedt32.exe:
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Add the values:
If automatic logon fails, due to a typo or a blank password, Windows NT resets to AutoAdminLogon:REG_SZ:0.
Note you may need to run User Manager (Musrmgr.exe) and set Password Never Expires. If you need to logon as another user with different privileges, then you hold down the SHIFT key at startup and the login dialogue will be displayed. Beware after logging on as another user, the next automatic logon attempt will fail as it will try to login as the other user but will use the password for the auto logon user as specified in the registry. You can simply type in the details for the auto logon user when the logon fails or if you wish you can make the registry key read only so that the other users details never get saved in the registry. To do this select the "WinLogon" key in Regedt32.exe and then select Security - Permissions. Now change the Type of Access for all the displayed accounts to "Read"

Discussion in 'Linea 1.3 MJD' started by dr_shiva29, Jan 7, 2011.
Viny, here you go:
Mr. Mohammed
Jeewajee Car Decors
Binze, good one on Teky.. BTW adding to that may be there is a shift in desire.. What say Teky?? :mrgreen:
I got this call couple of days back when an unconfident sounding guy asked me for an appointment to get feedback about my car. This Morning I received a call again at 9.30 am when the same guy reminded about our appointment at 10.00 am and that he was standing within my flat premises. I didn't care much and told him that he was early to which he willingly agreed to wait another 30 minutes. Thought I will get some extra sleep after the long and tiring night shift.
The guy was well groomed and dressed and intoduced himself to me as someone who is working in the Ranjangaon plant and that he is conducting a survey for FIAT. The usual routine of Q & A started wherein I maintained what I really feel about the car. On my mention of the service quality and spares availability, his face changed and told me politely that this issue is something which will be dealt by people at higher positions.
After 30 minutes of discussing various topics on FIAT (he virtually explained the whole FIAT plant with the different settings, requirements etc. He mentioned that Linea, Manja and Punto have a separate plant for production), I found the guy interesting and his knowledge on cars was also commendable. Running out of time, he prepared to leave but before doing so, he pulled out a pair of Linea neck rest pillows from his bag and presented them to me. Said, it was a gift from FIAT.
I just thought to myself that in so many years of my Dad's ownership of a Maruti and then a Hyundai, I have never seen anyone visit my dad at home, let alone gift something. This was a really nice gesture by FIAT.

View attachment 2011-03-22 10.47.55.jpg
Wow ! thats cool and a nice gesture from FIAT.
really cool..... One thing I can say about FIAT is that they are really open to comments and feedbacks more than ever....
thats good. and they better do it to get things right. just now browsed through a consumer complaint forum and linea owners had a sea of complaints for the car.
What about the low beam of Linea. In Punto low beam is useless. In city also I was using High Beam because of this.
One word useless... I am planning for an Philips HID kit for my Linea
Why not try Philips extreme power or Osram Night breaker Plus for low beam.
They are good and decent but not as powerful as the HID.
The advantage is that you need not fix any relay or add-ons.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar 111, has appealed to perpetrators of violence to tow the path of dialogue in order to bring an end to wanton killings in the country.
Abubakar said this in a statement by the Secretary of the Sultanate Council, Alhaji Attahiru Hussaini, a copy of which was made available to THISDAY in Sokoto on Friday.
According to him, the perpetrators of violence should desist immediately, sheath their swords and embrace dialogue which is the best option in resolving all problems. The statement expressed the total commitment of the Sultanate Council towards ensuring peaceful co-existence and unity in the country.
"We must use this holy month of Ramadan to reaffirm our resolve of being our brother's keepers and also eschew violence and intolerance," the statement read.
It called on Muslims to intensify prayers to seek God's divine intervention to various problems affecting the Muslim ummah and the country in general.
The statement appealed to traders to desist from hoarding and inflating the prices of foodstuff, clothing and other essential commodities in order to enable fellow Muslims carry out their Ramadan fast with ease. The statement urged Muslims to re dedicate and devote themselves to the worship of God in order to obtain his blessings.
"While wishing our Muslim brothers and sisters a successful and rewarding Ramadan fast, we urged all to intensify prayers and total devotion to Almighty Allah for his abundant blessings on us and the country," the statement added.
