As the power socket on my BMW K1300s projects the standard straight plug out into the area where the riders legs are then the 90 deg plug gives a closer profile of the plug and wire lead to bike coming up to the seat area. I have installed it and it works well.

Nice idea, screw terminals a bonus if you do not have a soldering iron handy. Would had preferred a 'sleeved cable inlet' saves having to use heat shrink tubing to stop water ingress.Other than that not a bad product.

Great! Very small plug, but a little hard to fix the wire with the screw. It is very small.
Perfect for my bike and my application.

Good quality plug. keeps power cable tidy and out of the way as it runs along the bike rather than sticking straight out and getting in the way.
NN description could do with stating cable size at plug entry. NN might consider selling coil cable to go with the plug.

the 90 degree bend is perfect for keeping wires out of the way and everything supplied for easy fitting.

A much better idea. Helps keep all the wires out the way. Also less obvious to prying eyes.
Unique right angle design means the plug and wire sits closer to the bike and does not get in the way !
Now you con convert items with a car style plug fitted to suit the DIN (BMW size) sockets on your bike.
Simply remove the large plug and fit this smaller size in seconds. Easy screw connection (no soldering !)
Top quality German made with proper copper connections - avoid cheap alternatives which will let you down!.
The centre pin of the plug is normally the live one.

I am really liking Janoris jenkins, He has fluid hips, great hands, and fantastic ball skills. I hope we trade back and take him, he could help our d alot
Its funny that you mentioned this because I just read this article http://www.letsgosandiego.blogspot.com/2012/03/dont-rule-troubled-jenkins-out-as.html But please NO the Chargers arent in a position where they can take a chance like that.
Lol, The reason i think the Chargers should roll the dice on the kid are two reasons. He is the best coverage corner to come out since deion, put on the tape what how he flips his hips, how fluid his hands are, how he take receivers off their routes, and how he can take big receivers out the game, " Examples, he took Aj Green out when he played him, Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffery, Percy harvin" all of which are good nfl receivers. 2. Cason is shaky and jammer sucks, Both are at the bottom of the nfl rankings. We upgrade with him here, and go linebacker or safety in the 2nd.
I'm wondering where you got this from, because i'm just gonna go ahead and assume that you never watched him at NAU. Jenkins is very similar to Brandon Flowers. He's a great player, but the character concerns are just too much to put him over the top. I dont think that he's enough of an upgrade to take a position of a bigger need, who would provide a similar upgrade.
Really... I don't want to be mean but please, please stop trying to sound like you know all the technical stuff you're trying to represent like you know what you're talking about. Fluid hands? He took Percy Harvin out of the game? Um... last I checked Jenkins and Harvin - back when Harvin was a collegian - were on the same team. Jenkins isn't the best coverage corner to come out since Deion Sanders... not by a stretch. He's got skills and upside, no doubt, but he has flaws as well (doesn't press effectively, still has some footwork issues in his COD, doesn't wrap as consistently as he should on his tackles, etc.). He doesn't scratch Peterson, Revis, or even - honestly - Marcus Trufant as a prospect; he's the closest to Trufant though in a long while - comparing him to Deion is ludicrous. That all said, the guy is beyond a loose cannon - he's an NFL suspension waiting to happen and you want to know how someone makes less of an impact on a defense than Cason made last season... by being suspended and not even able to be on the field to botch plays, which is what Jenkins' track record is far more indicative that he'll continue to do as a pro than not, or so he's shown thus far.
You should learn the difference between "whose" and "who's". JJ is a 2nd round pick based on his risk factors. He's a top 10 physical talent with UDFA character issues.
Fluid hands as in at the line, He jams players very well despite his size. And When i said took percy harvin out was during spring practices ext. But i mean player wise hes the best prospect at the CB position this year. I honestly believe that he will make a huge splash in the nfl
Do you mean talent wise? Also, I've never heard anyone use "fluid hands" to describe someone being able to "jam well at the line"
Yes talent wise, i see him as the best Corner in this draft. And yea it was late when i posted the whole fluid hands thing, so i was just trying to say why i said that. i understand that it makes no sense
Crap!! I almost electrocuted myself this morning, getting my Vans Whole Grain waffles out of the toaster. Curse you, damned fluid hands o' mine!!!
Jenkins could easily end up being the best CB in this class, but unfortunantly he's like a Pacman Jones/Antonio Cromartie demon spawn. He's got the kids and the arrest record to prove it....now just throw a couple million dollars at him and I'm sure his issue will fix themselves!
True that, but hes got Cro's athletic ability with smart and instincts. Who knows he could mature, i wouldnt mind giving hima shot. Ray lewis also had a track record coming out of the U, but every other team is kicking themselves now that he is a future HOF
Ray Lewis, like many prospects have had, had one incident on his record... Jenkins has close to 6. The word mature doesn't appear to be in his vocabulary. The guy has crapped on too many second and third chances to deserve to be give nany benefit of the doubt. Also, for every Ray Lewis - who still had incidents as a pro and was damn lucky to have player-jocking Tagliabue as the league's commissioner when he did because if Goodell had had the job Lewis' name probably wouldn't even be relevant right now outside of maybe the CFL or in terms of being paralleled with Rae Caruth. - there are 2-3 times as many Johnny Jolly's, Adam Jones', and Matt Jones' who continued their streak of repeat offenses as pro's. Given those odds, coupled with Jenkins' track record, I wouldn't be willing to risk anything higher than a 5th round pick on him - and that's pushing it really. I don't care how talented he is - if he's never on the field because he can't keep himself from doing dumb crap that gets him perpetually suspended then his level of talent means bupkiss.

Laci Le Beau Maximum Strength Super Dieter's Tea Cinnamon Spice -- 12 Tea Bags
laci le dieters tea
This stuff works well. But you better remember not to go any where for the first 3 hours because you will have to run to the restroom! I have both strenghts and they both make you go. The best thing to do if you don't have alot of time in the morning is to let the tea bag steep for only 1-2 min. If you make it too strong, you will have bad cramps around 3-5 in the morning.

Sabor A Fresa (aka Verano Del 72) (plus bonus track)
CD (Item 489791) Vampi Soul (Spain), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
A groovy set from 70s Spain! This 1971 groover was recorded by keyboardist Alfonso Santisteban and his La Nueva Banda De Santisteban – in a style that's very similar to some of the best Italian soundtrack work of the time, and bits of bossa! Alfonso plays both electric and acoustic piano – and the album grooves along with funky bass, tight drums, and a swirl of voices and instruments that jangle around the beats with a mad, free feel. The whole thing's a mod easy party from the word "go" – and has the freshness that on par with the best groovy soundscapes of the era! Titles include "Sabor A Fresa", "Brincadeira", "Zorongo", "Persecucion", "Limon Y Sal", "Nuestro Ayer", "Tierra Mojada", "Soledad" and "The Suitcase". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

WINNSBORO — There has been a case of mistaken identity in the missing velveteen bunnies and teddy bears in Winnsboro.
The stuffed animals that were donated to the public by an anonymous donor in fact were not the stuffed animals that Winnsboro resident Amy Douglas noticed were missing after the Winnsboro Christmas parade.
Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce President Terry Vickers called Douglas to clear up the misunderstanding.
It was Vickers who placed the donated stuffed animals on the park bench with a sign for persons who could not afford Christmas gifts to take the bears and rabbits to distribute as they saw fit.
According to Vickers, the stuffed animals were donated by Patsy Edenfield, Bonnie Myers and Beth Holt at a yard sale they held prior to Christmas.
"The Edenfields held a yard sale and sold (various goods and sundries) from the upholstery shop that was in South Winnsboro," Vickers said.
While browsing the yard sale, Vickers noticed the stuffed animals and offered to buy them and then donate them to charity, but once the yard sale organizers heard her wishes, they donated the animals in hopes of making someone's Christmas a little brighter this year.
Douglas understood, when she was contacted later on Friday about the animal mix-up.
She remembered growing up around Florence Short, whom she called "the icon of South Winnsboro."
"I have no doubt that she had the velveteen rabbits also," Douglas said. "She was a well respected community member who did a lot for South Winnsboro."
That said, the recipients of the donated rabbits can rest easy, knowing that the gifts were not, in fact, the keepsakes that the Douglas family wound up losing after loaning them for the 4-H float in the Christmas parade.
Douglas hopes that the warmth embodied in the tale of the velveteen rabbit, a character in a children's book that is a rabbit who loves a child so much it eventually becomes real, will inspire someone who has the lovable stuffed animals to return them to their rightful owners.
If anyone has seen the other set of velveteen rabbits or anniversary bears that in fact are the Douglas' missing crew, call Amy Douglas at 815-0688.

The Walkmen - We Can't Be Beat
This is the best thing I have listened to today, and that's pretty crazy because I was listening to a pretty damn good Andy Bird song like right before it.
Sometimes I forget what a great band this is.
Slow, acoustic goodness with vocals and lyrics semi reminiscent of something from the 50's or 60's. Harmonizing background vocals. Then it takes off. Electric. Really, just a beautiful song, perfect for Monday morning listening.
The new album, Heaven, is due out May 29th.

Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
I got to thinking about this subject because of some recent discussions that I've had with some other members here regarding the drop in activity on the site, why it occurred, and what we could potentially do to increase it again -- because a couple of the suggestions that were thrown out involved the idea of rewarding people for their involvement here, or of granting them some kind of spotlight recognition. And although that all sounded OK on the surface, I quickly began to question it, and then later suggested that perhaps those ideas weren't so great after all.
My initial thoughts were about how so many of our members originally signed up here hoping for a chance to get close to, or to at least get noticed by their favorite YouTube celebrity, Athene; and how that was a poor reason for becoming a member. And then I started thinking about how many 100's of people that we have had here along the way who have only wanted to use I-Power as a platform to potentially increase their own YouTube subscriber count. And then I also had some discussions this week with members about celebrities, and what it must be like to be one; trolls & class-clowns, and what motivates them to act the way that they do; and also about how companies will sometimes use job titles as a reward instead of money; and some other subjects, but all of which seemed to consistently keep coming back around to the same idea of people wanting to be recognized as being special or important, and how the very chance of them receiving such recognition would often motivate them, even when other, more practical reasons would not.
Perhaps my age and maturity have caused me to lose some appreciation for all of this. I don't know. Perhaps I've become overly idealistic. I do remember, for example, that it used to be very important for me to feel important when I was younger. As I recall, that was one of the main reasons that I joined the military. And I remember how I used to love wearing my dress uniform around civilians, because it made me feel special, and important. I suppose, in the end, that this is all related to ego, insecurity, and the need for social validation. And, I guess, I've matured enough by now that I don't feel the need to be patted on the back all the time like many young people do. I like and respect myself now, whether anybody else does or not. -- but I have to admit that I wasn't always this way. :-)
How about you? Do you need somebody else to tell you that you are important? or are you able to feel important all by yourself without having the notion validated by others? Do you seek fame & fortune? want your picture in the newspaper? or a merit badge on your chest? And if so, Why?
I think that this is a very important question that relates to social activism, {and therefore to the members of this community,} because activists are people who almost always have to go against the majority opinion, or an entrenched system or ideology, and so they cannot afford to rely upon what other people think about them. They need to be able to feel that what they are doing is important in the face of opposition! And don't delude yourself about any of this, either. Getting arrested and going to jail for a cause that you believe in will not usually earn you any kind of martyr's recognition or reward. Most activists suffer their persecutions very quietly and are never noticed. Martin Luther King, Jr., for example, received some attention and status during the Civil Rights movement here in the United States back in the 1960's... but there were multiplied thousands of other people who were arrested, beaten, and killed during that resistance movement who were never noticed and whom nobody remembers. Even King was eventually assassinated, by the way. But he did get his picture in the paper. :-D

Quick contribution on how I feel about this related to IPower.
I don't need to be told that I'm important, normally I even try to avoid the situations of being in the spotlight. I get most of my validation from what I have achieved and engaging in discussions.
Whether I am able to feel important myself, well that depends on the purpose/situation. For example I can feel important by contributing a good deal to a project and seeing the end results without validation by others. Where as for example in a discussion I need to have my arguments/statements taken into account and not completely ignored to feel "important".
As for the ranking system, I have no need for such a system but I do see how it might encourage others to be more active (although maybe not for the right reasons). I rank myself by getting people motivated to engage in some of my discussions/statements or projects.
I do notice that I have to validate others efforts more (even if not in my field of interests), I have the tendency to think everyone feels the same way about it as I do, which might lead them to feel unappreciated.
"but all of which seemed to consistently keep coming back around to the same idea of people wanting to be recognized as being special or important, and how the very chance of them receiving such recognition would often motivate them, even when other, more practical reasons would not."
You might be talking about codependence in the context of this kind of empowerment or truth-seeking movement.. this is one of my particular 'problems'.
I have a problem seeking validation from others although I'm a lot better at catching myself in acting that way nowadays. You can't please everyone and not everyone will like you, but I find that the best thing to do is to figure out what is important in life and what your values are. I believe that a lot of insecurity in people lies in not knowing what they value, which leads them to look to others for approval. That's one case, but there are many cases out there. Just stick to your values and learn to live by them. It also makes you less likely to be controlled by others.
Let me first describe my spin on the two words in your title and than go a bit into the topic how I see it.
For me reward is a possitive feedback that is given to someone if some conditions are reached. As an example: If a kid has drawn something it gets a compliment from the mother"
Recogntion is more tricky to describe. I think what we can agree on here is that recogntion is part of the social interaction among people; and an additional property, which does distinguish it from reward, is that you also atomatically "give" recognition to others. Let me give an example: Many people here "give" recognition to Athene and the Crew for doing awesome stuff.
I am not sure if it good to distuingish both but it may be usefull, especially if you think to implement such systems into this site.
That said I think both recogintion and reward are important for all self developement activities and paramount for every kind of activism.
Let me explain why I think it is important for activism, since thats easier to do (for me):
Simply think about what Athene achieved simply by being a good player and a hilarious person. Do you think it would be possible withouth him beeing famous and havind the kind of social recognition and influence? I dont think so.
I think folower and recognition are a crucial part in such kind of activism. You might can argue that it may not be good at an individual level but I realy wonder how you can move something in this world withouth recognition. Thus my hypothesis would be: If beeing an activist and changing the world is your aim you need recognition, whetever you want it or not.
Some good points; and very akin to some of what I've been hearing recently from Nathan Davies about how the lack of inspirational leadership around here is a serious problem that we have to overcome in the absence of the Belgian Crew. One person even went so far as to say that he thinks it is a natural human tendency to "always look to one man as an embodiment of their totality." Which I think is just a fancy way of saying that people need somebody that they can point to as an embodiment of what they believe in.
A figurehead?
A Representative?
Definitely something to think about; because I know that all great "Movements" have had this.
And you're absolutely right, of course, that Athene could never accomplish things like his recent Sharecraft project without his "army" of followers -- and he wouldn't have that army unless he continued to "play the role" of a celebrity entertainer. So, I suppose that it's not always a bad thing to seek the spotlight; but I do think it would be important to be consciously aware of why you are seeking it, and to not be doing so for the wrong reasons. Ego? Insecurity?
I think you hit the entire point here. What is your motivation for seeking the spotlight. To pet your ego? Or to change the world for the better?
I think it takes a disciplined mind to stay on the right path with that, but it is possible. Like the old saying goes, "Absolute power, absolutely corrupts." I give props to the belgian crew for staying true to their original values in spite of their fame. I think that if someone has similar values/reasoning, that the spotlight can be used in a very positive way. On the other hand, it can also be used for ill.
As long as you learn from what you do, I think that's good. In politics someone else can always take the reigns.. (I'm thinking of a scene in Starship Troopers about politicians..) like, literally step forward when the other figurehead steps back, and it's a very human thing to feel like you've started afresh with a new leader.
If there was a 'leader' in this community it would feel better for me I think, yeah, why not.
But then I look at what Athene's doing and I get the impression he's tied down a lot *by* the process of making consistent videos, as opposed to making videos of new insights and philosophy if they happen to be so good.
You raise a great point there. Athene is very, very busy just maintaining his audience. I really believe that's why he has surrounded himself with people who want the same thing he does, so that the workload is spread around efficiently.
i think we should have some more moderators to help relieve shiz of some of the workload, especially if we actually succeed in increasing traffic.
What kind of activism and changes in the world are you talking about? Charlie Chaplin didn't need these things for his famous speech to be effective. He needed to be an effective communicator, know the nature of the problem he was addressing, and be troubled enough by it to deliver a good speech (perfectionism & creativity).
If you are talking about activism for wildlife for exmaple, it may be that you need influence & an internet identity to pull off something big.. but wouldn't the core problem be that people don't care enough to do things as it is? In reality we have all these ongoing issues like bees, whales, and other species in danger, and in place of something *effective* like infographics which COMMUNICATE things really well, we have news organizations skimming the surface each time. Well, part of the inherent problem of anything human can be said to be that we don't have the mental capacity to care, or in simpler words we're doomed by design to be intolerant of caring about all these issues [each of us, with all the details in our lives as well] period.
Well, it's pointless making or arguing against a point like that, anyway.. the general gist of what I find myself talking about all the time is that our world and our reality is far too complex for us to only be concerned about insights like this, like insights of today's political climate... it's not often very useful information (and then, even if we had all the information in the world we'd fear that a government would use it against us)
my god, what a sorry state the world is in today.
What did Charlie Chaplin not need? Recognition? He had to have had an audience to listen, which implies some sort of recognition.
I've read some on the "circles of empathy" idea that humans are not capable of empathizing with more than a certain number of people/ideas and are thus mankind is doomed to always destroy itself and the planet. I don't agree with this at all, because the number of ideals you have to sympathize with are very limited and few to make large changes. We simply aren't sympathizing with the right things as of yet.
He already had a film career, but today that's irrelevant because if you were to upload a speech that hard-hitting and that relevant particularly about today's society, it would get attention. Videos do exactly that today, for entertainment but also for 'feels'.
>about empathizing with lots of views
Well, I'm talking about fundamental limits of mankind's psychology. So, yeah what you said would seem to make sense; exactly the same thing I'm talking about. If we are born into a world that teaches us to only love the culture and nation we happen to be located in, and then our psychology is also incapabple of empathizing will all cultures unless we make a significant conscious effort individually. (I would say that such a psychological limitation [and as I write this I remember I've seen a good American Politics example somewhere..] has (psychologically) driven the emergence our ideas of nationalism and xenophobia, period. )
I'm not limited by a number of ideals I can identify with, myself. I understand the world somewhat, so I identify for example with the poverty and the hate in some countries of America & the west in general.
>We simply aren't sympathizing with the right things as of yet.

This lean hog and feed commentary contains thoughts from Jeremy Knutson, a commodity broker with Hurley & Associates.
Corn – July '11 corn is looking for some direction and higher looks like the direction it wants to move. I don't think we are going to see fireworks to the upside just yet but if the weather stays cool and wet and prevents planting of the much needed corn acres we could see the market add more premium to the old crop. Corn is only 7% planted and it sounds like we won't get much accomplished this week either.
I'm of the opinion corn is going to work its way higher or at minimum be supported until planting progress reaches 50-75% complete. By then the trade should begin to assume the crop is going to get planted okay. Then we move on to growing conditions and weather (still). It is going to be a rocky road this summer so try to use known risk strategies to protect feed needs!
Bottom Line – I'm looking for an early low and late high tomorrow.
Meal – July '11 meal is searching for a bottom and as we hold support just above the $343.00 area. I'm looking for a sideway's market for a bit with a slight tilt to the upside. Right now the challenge to the upside would be to get above $356.30 and close there otherwise we should stay sideway's.
Bottom Line – I'm looking for an early low tomorrow.
Hogs – June '11 hogs had a good day as we managed to close higher with our strength coming in and after the pit close of 1:00 p.m. central. The June hogs need to get above $102.45 and hold it as support then we can look to $103.00 and ultimately our contract high of $104.35. I'm of the opinion that the futures market wants to move higher from here but the cash market is lagging. The basis levels are outrageous! Either cash needs to climb or May futures are waaaay too rich.
My opinion is that cash should continue to firm over the coming weeks. This week is the exception because of the shortened week due to Easter. The June '11 contract is making a wedging pattern which suggests a significant breakout in one direction or the other. To me the breakout looks to be favoring the upside if we get one but it is a signal that the market should make a big move soon.
Bottom Line – I'm looking for an early low in the June '11 hog contract for tomorrow.
Hurley & Associates believes positions are unique to each person's risk bearing ability; marketing strategy; and crop conditions, therefore we give no blanket recommendations. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. NFA Rules require us to advise you that past performance is not indicative of future results, and there is no guarantee that your trading experience will be similar to the past performance.

Corn – May '11 hasn't looked back since last Thursday's stocks report. I have to say I was looking for a pull back today but the market just laughed at me. There was good volume again today as the May '11 futures closed up $.24 1/4 on the day. I think one of these days we should see an intra-day pull back but by the looks of it any pull back would be bought. $8.00 futures looks to be the next likely target for May '11 corn.
Meal – I have to say I'm surprised at the action we've had in May '11 meal. We are still holding the support levels of $356.30 but if the market doesn't hold support at $352.30 then we possibly drop back to $339.40. Like corn, I think any breaks in the meal market will be bought.
Bottom Line – Based on today's action I'm looking for an early low tomorrow.
Hogs – June '11 hogs closed higher today after starting out softer. The cash market didn't do much today but didn't fall out of bed either. The cutout was $.18 higher which isn't any big deal either other than the fact it wasn't lower on the day. Longer-term thought for June '11 hogs is still higher even though we had a warning sign on our weekly chart last week. I will monitor this sign to see if it may lead somewhere but after today's rally on the close I think it is evident that hogs are firm.
Don't get complacent, make sure you make business decisions! If you sell hogs, buy your corn and meal. Don't mess around with this volatility in the market. If you have a contracted in price for your pigs at a reasonable price you should be making excellent profits right now even with corn and meal at current levels. The stocks report last week is looking to take prices high enough to ration usage so to me that means the profit margin in hogs probably will not grow as fast in the front months as it will in the back months.
Bottom Line – I'm looking for an early high in the JUNE '11 hog contract for tomorrow.

The Headache Relieving Wrap.
Developed by a neurologist, this head wrap helps relieve headaches naturally, eliminating the need for medications. A study published by the Archives of Family Medicine proved that the head wrap alleviated migraine and tension headaches in 87% of patients. The unit straps comfortably to your head and provides a soothing, consistent pressure that gently compresses blood vessels to help relieve migraines. It comes with three reusable gel packs that can be heated or frozen and inserted into the headband to provide relief from throbbing pain. Heat therapy relaxes tense muscles and the cold treatment cools and constricts blood vessels, helping to alleviate tension headaches. The headband is insulated to retain heat and cold and its adjustable strap and Velcro strap keep it in place. One size fits all.

Leprechaun Ghost Clowns In Love
Hello. My name is Brian, and I write hard science fiction.
Audience: Hi, Brian.
I fell off the wagon again…
Audience: *Gasp!*
But I've been hard SF free since 7:30 this morning.
Audience: *Mumble, mumble*
My mind is clear, and I'm proud to say that I think I can make it through the rest of the meeting without firing up my laptop and pounding out a few passages of my trilogy.
It hasn't been easy these past few months. With my debut novel on submission, it's been difficult to concentrate on anything but my craft. Will I be able to demonstrate to publishers that I can improve? Will I have what it takes to make the edits they require? What if an editor asks me to insert MAGIC into my story?
Audience: *Double Gasp!*
I know. I shouldn't dwell on such things. But, truth be told, not many successful hard science fiction writers were optimists, now were they?
Audience: *Cold stare*
Not that I, you know, have any interest in going down that road. Not at all. There lies madness, or so we say.
But things work the way they do for a reason, don't they? Why can't we use the comprehensibility of the universe to aid our readers in their suspension of disbelief? The stories we tell are so speculative, grounding them in current scientific understanding helps the reader to relate, to own the story, does it not?
Audience: *Double mumble*
Wait, hear me out. It all started when I was in third grade, and my teacher explained that pulsars flash because they spin. I asked if that was because they were light on one side and dark on the other. She thought about it, said that didn't make sense since they're basically stars, then told me to stop asking ridiculous questions.
It wasn't until I was a teenager that I realized I had a science teacher who actually had a disdain for science, a disdain for knowing how things actually worked.
Audience: *Nods in unison*
But what if there are readers out there who like that sort of thing?
Audience: *Triple gasp!*
No, seriously. What if there are readers out there who prefer the speculative stories they read to be, you know, plausible?
Audience: *Lights torches and gathers pitchforks*
Why should those readers be left behind? Why should they have to settle for stories about leprechaun ghost clowns when they would prefer something that can happen in a universe that's realistically extrapolated from our own? Should we not be serving those readers? Should we not strive to create stories in tenable settings that serve to deepen the significance of the narrative impact on the reader?
Audience: *Charges podium*
I brought cookies.
Audience: *Eats cookies*
Anyway, thanks for helping me with my addiction. And thanks for disabusing me of the specious notion that reasonable attempts at plausibility aren't for the best writers among us.
Audience: Huh?
Has anyone seen my laptop?

I'm thinking about purchasing the Canon Pixma Pro9000 unit as it's considerably less expensive and almost identical to the Pro9000 Mark II, and am wondering if any of our scrapgirls out there have used either printer. I'm so tired of forking over $$$$ to HP for ink cartridges, and I've read several reports that Pixma users are happy with the Canon ink output. I'm sure not happy with my HP cartridge output. I should have invested in HP stock the way I go through ink. Thanks, I appreciate your input!

Hi Annie, long time no see. Sorry I can't help you. I use a Pixma all in one but not either of those models. I use Epson. I've sure seen a lot about the newer Pixma printers, but no first-hand experience. Hope you get some good advice.
A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. ~Author Unknown
Posted 24 April 2012 - 10:53 PM
Hey Sandi, good to hear from you. I have been considering Epson, too. Which model do you have and are you satisfied with the output quality and the ink supply? HP ink is costing me a bunch, and Ro said her Pixma ip4500 is great on ink usage and has a beautiful output. I'm willing to change brands but want to be sure that what I buy is what I need.
Thanks for such a quick response!
Thanks for such a quick response!
Posted 24 April 2012 - 11:04 PM
I use an Epson too, but mine (and R1800) is 6 1/2 years old so it is no longer being sold. I absolutely love the prints. I only use it for color printing and use a laser printer for everything else. When I print big stacks of 12x12 pages, I end up changing a few of the ink cartridges, but overall, I don't feel like it uses tons of ink.
Posted 24 April 2012 - 11:33 PM
Thanks for the reply, April. I wasn't impressed with the reviews about the Epson Workforce series.....they tended to feel the output was ok for text printing but below par for photos. But some of our Scrapgirls have raved about their Epsons, maybe they own a different series or perhaps the older models like yours were the better models. I'd consider an Epson IF it meets my specs. Thanks again!

WASHINGTON -- Massachusetts will lose more than 60,000 jobs, much of it in the defense industry, and $127 million in federal research funding, harming a critical sector of the state economy, if Congress allows across-the-board spending cuts to go into effect in March, according to a report released Friday by Representative Edward Markey of Malden.
The automatic cuts, known in Beltway parlance as "sequestration," were scheduled to take place in January under a 2011 budget deal to raise the nation's debt limit, but the crisis was temporarily averted when Congress struck a last-minute New Year's Eve bargain.
Now are you jumping for joy because you voted for Obama and the Left Wing Liberal Democrats!!. What is the next scare threat that our belevalent Government is going to throw at us. How many of these constant scare tactics will you believe that are tossed out to each and every group of Americans as a threat to our core beliefs while hidding the Obama adgenda of usurping the American way of life dictated by our Christian forefathers........ If passed, this will certainly put a DINT in our Governors plans to tax those of us who WORK??????

The children of the poor are to be left behind in education. The elderly are to freeze in winter at home. The Oba-ma-niacs have decreed that the new program of Obamacare gets the federal dollars, instead of about-to-be downsized home-heating-help and education-assistance-for-the poor programs. Majority rules; so be it. But there are only so many federal dollars to go around, no matter how high taxes are increased. The feds (U.S. Treasury, Fannie Mae, etc.) are trillions and trillions of dollars in debt, and the annual federal budget is now adding $1 trillion a year to those overall amounts. Something's gotta' give. And if defense spending is going to be drastically decreased too, it's time to consider the horror of America being invaded, without a suitably armed civilian militia to assist the regular military, the reservists, and the National Guard. Imagine America as a husband and wife, crying at the kitchen table over unpayable bills; and while this is going on, an armed gang is getting ready to invade their home. So things are bad; but if we stop fooling ourselves and others, and if we rationally prioritize and compromise, America can retain its national security and regain its financial stability.

"Imagine America as a husband and wife, crying at the kitchen table over unpayable bills; and while this is going on, an armed gang is getting ready to invade their home."
Not to worry, "husband and wife", the NRA has a solution for part of your problem. They will build an army of volunteer gun-toters to protect the homes of the not-so-well-off. Everybody steps up. It takes a village, right?
TAX INCREASES have cost Mass. far more than 60000 jobs. And since when is the Globe which HATES the US military, concerned about defense department jobs? The Globe is the CAUSE of the loss of defense department jobs.
The Globe strongly supports the confirmation of Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. Both of these men, as well as Barack Obama (who is busy campaigning right now and can't be reached), all insist that the US military and defense spending be cut...Therefore the Globe right is complaining about and pretending that it is not reaponsible for, the Globe's own agenda.
This comment has been removed.
How lucky can the Glob be??!!! Eddy the Mooch Markey grants Globies an interview... When was the last time that happened? The Blob even found a Malden Republican who tries to vouch that Markey actually lives in Malden. Since when did Republicans gain such an aura of truth about them that a Demomob mouthpiece wants to quote one of the GOP's finest as a verificator of claims about a Demomob hack? Oh yeah... one other thing . . . Markey hands out numbers on how much Massachusetts loses due to this expected sequestration. And this guy wants to be a U.S. Senator, junior to Granny, but still able to call himself 'Senator'. Did I miss the Markey genius expressing solutions for the sequestration mess? Or maybe the Glob's reporters just forgot to include it.
Gee, I guess the much-vaunted and beloved capitalist private sector will have to step up and absorb the workers laid off due to government cutbacks that the private sector and its cheerleaders wanted in the first place. Hey, right wing commenters, call up your favorite company CEO and urge him/her to pony up the funding for the research grants and to hire the laid off scientists and military industrial workers. I'm sure the CEOs will do their patriotic duty, right? They'll finally have those tax breaks and smaller government they've wanted for all this time.
Not so pretty when the reality of it all hits, huh?

During the days when Willie Howard Mays was still playing baseball professionally, the late Aristotle Onassis was known for wearing his black neckties with the front blade thrown over the knot rather than pulled through it, much as an ascot is worn today. The Onassis, as this knot was known at the time, was copied fairly widely in New York's garment district but disappeared shortly after the wearer left the scene.
Perhaps Mr. Mays, probably the greatest baseball talent of all time and certainly the finest of the modern era, learned the knot as a young man roaming the Polo Grounds in New York before the team moved West. Wherever he was exposed to it, he wore the Onassis the other day for his visit to the White House.
Visits by champion sports teams are one of the perquisites of the American Presidency. They are rarely interesting from a sartorial perspective, but this one was.

It's been many years in the making, but Spike Jonze's take on the classic children's book has finally arrived.

Disappointing adaption
By BenLaw (32 reviews) , 14 Feb 2013I remember being wowed by this book as a small child and then marvelling at the illustrations when a little older. However, in hindsight I have probably never looked at this book as an adult, so maybe my hopes were too high. My recollection is this was a short and sparse book, relying on a child's imagination to fill in the gaps rather than any great narrative. Unfortunately, therefore, there isn't really enough narrative content to flesh out an entire feature film. It does look great (it says something that the original author, Maurice Sendak, was heavily consulted and also very happy with the result) and the acting by the small boy is very good, very poignant. But it's a fairly bleak film, with no great joy or redemption, and therefore missing the fun that a small child might want, and lacking the narrative or character arc that might suit a parent. A real shame, although I suspect this was an impossible job.- Was this review helpful to you?

Terrible, not for little ones
By eskeemo7 (3 reviews) , 03 Feb 2013Unsuitable for young children as it contains violence and explores feelings of isolation and loneliness. Like previous ratings I found it very dull and laborious, certainly not suitable for children under 10. When I saw the trailer I thought it looked great but when I sat down to watch it with my 4 year old I discovered it was totally unlike the trailer. My daughter did want to watch it but I think that was because of the wild things themselves and probably to get ideas on terrorising her mum and dad.- Was this review helpful to you?

A beautiful film
By a customer , 29 Jan 2013I thought this was a really beautiful film. I adored the book when I was a child and could escape into it myself to escape the adults in my life. Perhaps it isn't suitable for all children but then it has a PG rating for a reason - so you watch it first and decide if it is appropriate for your children... I would probably have been a little scared but still loved it as a child. It is such a beautiful story. If you don't enjoy more complex films, you most likely won't enjoy this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

We wanted the ideal smoothie recipe, for an icy, fruity, slightly sweet shake that would be lightly creamy and thick but straw-friendly. We simply filled the blender with plenty of fruit and added just a touch of whole milk for a drink that was chock full of fruity goodness. A few spoonfuls of sugar and a squeeze of lemon balanced out the flavor. Three ice cubes were enough to make a cold but not overly icy drink.
Vary the amounts of sugar and lemon juice depending on the ripeness of the fruit.
Dear Friend,

The track record of the Democratic members of the Colorado congressional delegation—including the two U.S. senators—on labor issues is, at best, only fair. The Republican record is worse.
And those records probably won't get any better for a long while.
To get anything done for working men and women, it is necessary that our elected representatives have the interest of those workers at heart. They must feel the pain of every unemployed, underemployed, underpaid and underappreciated man and woman in the workforce. They must be committed and they must have empathy.
It is in their best interest and it is in the best interest of the country when the world's most productive workforce is working, making a livable wage, a wage that allows them to purchase a few nonessential commodities occasionally while enjoying a relatively high standard of living. Such workers pay their share in taxes, which helps to control the federal deficit and balance state budgets. If they make good money, they spend good money, keeping both the government and the business community prosperous.
Unfortunately, millions of the best jobs available to working class American have disappeared over the past 20 years. These were manufacturing jobs. Most of them were exported to foreign countries where wages are much lower—a condition favorable to employers concerned only with the bottom line.
In the past decade the manufacturing sector of the nation's workforce has declined from more than 17 million workers to about 11.5 million. In the 1950s, manufacturing accounted for 50 percent of U.S. jobs. By the 1970s it had dropped to 25 percent and it is now less than 10 percent. Former President George Bush supported, even cheered, those corporations that shipped American jobs overseas. Can anybody figure how that was good for America?
Voters are rightfully scornful of incumbent U.S. senators and representatives who have shown little ability or inclination to solve the nation's economic problems, of which one of the biggest is the erosion of the U.S. manufacturing base. Independent polls show that the loss of manufacturing jobs rates as a key concern of the electorate.
I would be surprised if a single member of Colorado's congressional delegation has a plan to resurrect the country's manufacturing base, which has to be done if the economy is to recover. From what we have observed, none of them is fully committed to helping working men and women. When confronted with labor issues, they procrastinate, wring their hands, gnash their teeth, make excuses and generally do nothing.
I recently heard an anecdote about a meeting years ago between then President Franklin D. Roosevelt and A. Philip Randolph, the great black civil rights and labor leader. Randolph, who was the founder and president of the Sleeping Car Porters Union, came to the White House to make certain demands on the president. Roosevelt's response was "make me do it," which Randolph did later did by forcing the president's hand through effective planning and public opinion.
That's what we must do with present-day politicians, "make them do it," make them fix the economy.

U.S. judo coach Jimmy Pedro brought two backup phones to the London Olympics. And when Kayla Harrison delivered the first Olympic gold medal in USA Judo's history, all of Pedro's phones went bonkers with calls and texts from well-wishers. Pedro was holding an iPhone — which had a steady stream of texts rolling up the screen, so many that Pedro simply couldn't keep up reading them. "Everybody and anybody in American judo that has ever touched my life, Kayla's life or my father's life," Pedro said, when asked who's been calling.

Charlie Sheen and His MEGA Team of Lawyers Coming to A Court Room in Hollywood Soon!!!!
Posted by Rose in Beverly Hills, Celebrity Trials, Desperate Exes, High Proflie Trials, Hollywood, John J. Nazarian, John J. Nazarian P.I, John Nazarian, Marty Singer, Nazarian P. I.Hey, I have a great idea, let's just leave Charlie Sheen alone, enough already. So the guy has had a few bumps in the road…so what? Maybe it is that he expresses himself in a somewhat "outward" fashion. And if "bumps" on the road to success were a crime, we would not have much to watch on the tube! Charlie is a big talent and he knows it as do all those around him…including the best sex money can buy! And again, so what? pretty girls and cute boys have always been in the Hollywood mix…this is happiness that money can buy!
Sure the drugs and hookers, ok… and so what, he is trying to take care of it and it would appear that he is doing the best he can. So what, he buys sex, he is rich and can do as he pleases, it is his money. He does not like AA so maybe he has a point…I found his thoughts on the AA organization interesting. But all of this BS and the attack mode of what seems like the world against this guy is total bullshit. Just let him work through what he has to deal with. What? is the plan to get him to hurt himself, I hope not as much of this is none of anyone's business. Just leave him alone and get things together.
Here is another reason to leave Mr. Sheen alone, MARTY SINGER. Marty is a friend and one of the best lawyers I think in the country at what he does. And what he does is to assure that people leave him and his clients alone. Can we all agree that Mr. Sheen is clear-minded enough to hire the best legal mind in the country to help him in his affairs?
The last few days of his former wife's silliness is another issue, who is advising her that she would go to the wrong police department to file her restraining orders? She went to Beverly Hills Police and Charlie does not live in Beverly Hills…duh. Brooke get some competent help or at least someone who knows where the guy your complaining about lives!
…An "emergency restraining order," ridiculous, outrageous, does "kick the guy when he is down" ring a bell here folks… what was the emergency? "He threatened me." …The actions of Brooke Mueller in my mind are…
If I was Charlie Sheen I would not worry too much, he has a mega firm backing him in the DIVORCE action, Ron F. Brot and Mark P. Gross of Brot and Gross ( 818-549-0800 ). …Their client looks great in this story and …so let's see, Marty Singer, Ron Brot and Mark Gross…
Read the rest of the article by John J. Nazarian at Desperate Exes.com. I saw the interview on CNN with Piers Morgan and I agreed with a lot of what Charlie Sheen had to say. He is a mega talent and like most has a mega ego, AND he carries his latest drug test results in his pocket taking a drug test every 48 hours to put a halt to all of this "hysteria".

This is an interesting question that I have always pondered to myself, do I have to marry an atheist? Although I have never dated an atheist (not many) I have always dated non-religious secular people - but none that would call themselves an atheist as they still had a vague belief in god at the minimum. I have always said to myself that I will probably want to marry a Persian - but someone like myself who was raised in America and who is not religious and who definitely does not identify themselves as a Muslim - but I would rather marry an atheist but I don't know how many of them are out there - and why Persian as I have dated mostly non-Persian? A lot of people I have dated have been non-Persian but maybe simply so that my children don't forget who their parents were and subsequently my grandchildren not forgetting who their parents were so that my eventual legacy is passed down through generations...but that is a negotiable point but not put in stone as of yet but it is more of an "ideal" I would like to have....
But to the main point - do you have to eventually marry an atheist or would you marry a non-religious secularist (as I would consider) or even someone more religious? Just interested as to what you would say..
Tags: atheism, atheist, marriage, religion, religious, secular, spouse
I was a catholic and my husband was a sikh when we were married....but now we're both atheists....I don't know if subconsciously we knew going into our relationship we were ready for a change or if we just got lucky. My husband was alot more resistant to the idea of no god in the beginning but seeing how happy and uncomplicated it made things for me he soon let his guard down and started questioning his own faith. I know this doesn't answer your question but it's my personal experience. As for you wanting to marry someone the same race as you, I'd have to say being married to someone from a different culture has been the best experience of my life and my husbands. And my children will always know where they come from....
A similar question was asked to me by a fellow atheist a couple of years ago. It was not something I'd thought about before and it was at a time when I'd only just rejected my previously held Christian beliefs. I came to the conclusion that I would find it hard to be in a relationship with someone who held strong religious views but not impossible, and I still think that's the case today. I think I'd find it hard not because of a different outlook on life but because for me intelligence is a very important factor and although there are intelligent religious people, having a strong religious view always makes me question that intelligence. A couple of weeks after my friend had asked me this question he started dating a Christian girl and it became clear why he had asked the question, they are still together and very happy which proves an atheist-Christian bond can work.
I agree with Graham, it's who you love. You've got to be able to appreciate their worldview though, if you're going to be sharing your life with them. Rationality is a great quality to look for. Even if a person has certain beliefs, if they're rational about them it's way easier to respect them. Engage in conversation, and I think it should be stimulating not frustrating!
Have to? No. Is it probably a good idea? Probably so.
Only after a lot of Carbondatting first :-)
No, you don't have to marry an Atheist. There are plenty of mixed relationships that are working just fine. Differing theological opinion need not be a road block if both parties are understanding and respectful. In fact, I'm married to a Wiccan. Surprisingly, one of the reasons she felt comfortable starting a relationship with me was because I am an Atheist. She comes from a Catholic family (as do I) so she felt that I'd be understanding of the fact that she had some 'different' thoughts on theology. Although, there are some details where we don't agree, it has never gotten in the way of our relationship. It is nice that we can have long discussions about science or the Abrahamic religions and see pretty much eye-to-eye though. So it can work, it just depends on how understanding the parties involved are.
I think the institution of marriage is over. - in the traditional sense of the word as evident by the number of divorces. It would be interesting to see if arranged married couples are more content than couples who find a spouse on their own. Getting along with the in-laws is as important as getting along with the spouse.
I don't plan on marrying at all honestly, but I could see myself with someone religious as long as they know religion is a personal decision and not something that the world MUST follow. Also if i plan on having children with this person, i would never by no means allow them to enforce their religious beliefs on our kids.
I don't habitat well with others.
Nope, wouldn't marry an atheist, that is another story 'or discussion' but I could only live with an Atheist. Couldn't live with a xian, and couldn't call one 'my best friend'.
On both counts, friends or partners, they have to think alike. Love does not conquer all. Respect is my key, logic, civility. Chemistry, goes without saying, but I just couldn't respect anybody that believes in a sky ghost that comes from a book written by herdsmen.
For Eric, was your ex xian. I have also been there done that, and would never marry again,
Marriage is man constructed, and in the end, doesn't mean anything, as by the divorce rate, and the number of people now living de facto. People generally, marry too quickly, without really knowing who 'they' are', let alone somebody else. I have been in this relationship for 23 years - and still love him to bits - and both atheists.

Dear all,
I have a few signed Arsenal memorabilia items available if anyone is interested (wasn't sure if this should be in the ticket section?).
I recently managed to get a Arsenal away shirt (2011/12) signed by the whole team. The chief scout at Bristol City managed to get Aaron Ramsey to sort it out. Happy to send pics.
Also have a signed & framed Reyes shirt, signed & framed Ian Wright picture, signed & framed Thierry Henry picture (all of these come with certificates of authenticity.
If anyone is interested and would like pics, drop me a PM and I'll send some over.
p.s My twitter is @charlie_lincoln
Got a picture of the away shirt there as well as me with Jack Wilshere getting a signed shirt the other day! lol

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Riding at night. The clocks have gone back in the Northern Hemisphere and the evening commute is made in the dark, after-work training rides under twilight.
Lights at night appeal to the senses (emotional and visual). Perhaps a basic human instinct, dating back to the first people to stare up at the stars or gaze into a fire. Whilst the LEDs and illuminations we use keep us visible to motorised predators after dark, it's exciting riding through the city amongst a reef of neon shapes, a spectrum of luminescence emitting from buildings and the blaze of traffic.
Being a nocturnal cyclist beyond the metropolis is also a thrill, but for different reasons. You ride against the natural realm. It's pitch dark out in the lanes and trails (unless the moon is shining), so you should really stay indoors where it's safe and warm. But with a decent spotlight on your bars you can light up the gloom and explore the world without interruption, aside from the odd owl hoot. You flick the switch and, like a remarkable idea that's been lying dormant all day, a new world opens up. Nightfall is left to you and the bats, foxes and badgers.
Time triallists in the last century would have to test at night to avoid the police (and still do), Paris-Brest-Paris, 24 hour rides and various other voyages take place under darkness. It requires fortitude, and a degree of insanity. Rolling after nightfall in the wintertime is, for some, the only option if you want to clock miles. But for others, it's where the real fun lies. Just make sure you have lights.

I commute in the countryside and then in London after the train journey … I get the best of both weird worlds. The wildlife and I have shocked each other many a time. A fox missed me by half a wheel length last week - I'm also convinced the owls will take me away soon ! The countryside commute through the lanes is definitely best when it is crisp, frosty and moonlit. You just have to try it !
