Published August 12, 2007 THE MAILBOX When my grandmother had to downsize and move into an assisted living facility, my aunt stumbled upon a beautiful silk baby dress and a pair of leather button-up baby shoes that had belonged to my grandmother. She had these framed for me along with a photograph of my grandmother on her 1st birthday wearing them! She gave the finished product to me because she knew how much I am fascinated by our family's history. Sincerely, Diana Larson?

SHOW NOTES Published August 5, 2007 Genealogy Reviews Online blog: Genealogy Gems - You've Got to Check this One Out. Lisa's Movie Pick: Full of Life (1957). It's a really heartwarming movie about immigrants and their American born children that you can watch comfortably with your kids and your grandkids. The novel by John Fante is still available: Full of Life by John Fante GEM: Freedom of Information Act Follow Up Email from Richard Hrazanek: "I loved the tip about requesting your ancestor's immigration file through the Freedom of Information Act. Do you know if you can do the same thing with a person's military record." FOIA can assist you in obtaining military records. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press Website article: How to use the Freedom of Information Act. Rod Powers of About.com does a great job outlining how to obtain military records The National Archives website article: Access to Military Records by the General Public, including genealogists who are not next-of-kin Timothy E. Blaise's website devoted to the 4th Infantry Division 224th Infantry Regiment Company "D" which his uncle served in. Timothy outlines his experience with obtaining military records. GEM: Thanks for the Memories Get a piece of paper or pull up a word document. Close your eyes for a second, and visualize a favorite memory from your childhood. In my case I started with a favorite place, my maternal grandma's house. But perhaps yours is the back alley where you and your friends played baseball, or your great uncle's garage where he showed you how to work on cars. Whatever is meaningful to you. Now, open your eyes, and write your thoughts one at a time. Just free flow it. They don't have to be complete sentences. Later you can try your hand at writing more of your actual experiences or memories of a person. Again, it doesn't have to be a novel or sound really professional. It's just the memories from you heart. Tie together this gem with episode 20's Sweet Memories gem where we made a family history chocolate bar label for a candy bar that could be tucked in a Christmas Stocking as a gift. Replace the Ingredient's list on the back label with a text box that includes these free flowing memories about the photo that appears on the front label. |

SHOW NOTES Published July 29, 2007 Book Recommendation: Home and Home Again by George and Helen Papashvily. GEM: German Homeland - Part 2 Here's a checklist of other types of records that might contain information about your ancestor's home town.
Bremen Passenger Lists 1920 - 1939 Hamburg Emigration Lists - BallinStadt â Port of Dreams Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1872 A research outline from FamilySearch for Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934 Look sideways, at brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, even friends. If you can determine where one of them was born, you will have an EXCELLENT place to look in Germany for your ancestors! In addition, determine if your ancestors had traveling companions on their way to America and look into their backgrounds. Go back to the census and check out your ancestors first recorded American neighborhood. Where were their neighbors from? Folks often settled near family and friends from the old country. The Freedom of Information Act is a federal statute that allows any person the right to obtain federal agency records unless the records (or part of the records) are protected from disclosure by any of the nine exemptions in the law. It can take up to six months to receive a reply. I've obtained two ancestor files so far, and both contained information and photographs that I had never seen before. No fees are required when you make the request. And the first 100 pages of copying and two hours of search time are free!
GEM: Christmas in July Sweet Memories Candy Bar Stocking Stuffers First, you'll need the following items:
Here's how to create the label: Scan the photos you want to include on the label Open a new page in Microsoft Publisher Use the Rectangle Tool to create a 7 " high x 5 " wide rectangle Insert a background image using the INSERT IMAGE function, and then resize it to fit just over the rectangle. Another option is to select the rectangle, and use the FORMAT FILL COLOR function to color the box. Use INSERT IMAGE to add your photos, and resize them to fit. Measure down 2" from the top of the label, and that's where the top of the front side photo is placed. Set it Ââ? from the left edge. The backside photo should begin 5" from the top of the label, and be set Ââ? from the left edge. Insert the text boxes. The "Sweet Memories" and Ingredients text boxes are about 3" wide and 1 1/4" high. Format with the borders and colors that you want. Reflect your own family values in the Ingredients list. To Print: From the menu, click FILE then PRINT and then click the PROPERTIES button. From this window select "high resolution paper" or "High Brightness" as the Media Type, and select HIGH for the Print Quality to get the bestlooking label. Print the label & cut out carefully. Folding guidelines: The first fold line is 1 Ââ? from the top of the label, and the second fold line is 4 Ââ? from the top of the label. Use a small piece of double sided tape to stick the label to itself on the backside snugly. Now you have your own custom family history themed chocolate bar ready to tuck in Christmas stockings this year. They're guaranteed to put smiles on everyone's face on Christmas morning, and hopefully inspire a bit of curiosity about the family tree. August Episodes - In order to get the book finished and prepare for some exciting new episodes for Season Two I'm not going to make any promises about how often new episodes will be published in August of 2007. However, I will be putting out a couple of new podcasts as well as doing some blogging on the website so check back often.

SHOW NOTES Published July 15, 2007 GEM: A Long Look Sideways Have you ever heard the piece of genealogical advice that says if you get stuck with your own ancestor, look sideways - at their siblings, aunts and uncles? Well in this episode we stretch this idea even further by looking at folks who aren't even related to us in order to get a clearer view of our ancestor's lives. EXAMPLE Here's a list of books that I've found that are about specific locations and experiences that apply to my ancestors:
Places to find old or out of print books: Ebay.com, Amazon.com, Google Search, Garage Sales GEM: Finding Your German Ancestors Town of Origin A little German village can seem like a needle in a haystack when you're starting with ancestors who made it to the shores of America. But once you've found that gem, it will open up all kinds of records from their native land, and likely take you back several more generations. There are three important pieces to this Ancestral puzzle:
First step: find them in the most recent census and work backwards. Look for immigration information. The naturalization process created a lot of paperwork, and in that paper work your ancestors were asked for specific information about where they were born, where they immigrated from, the ship they traveled on, and when they arrived in America. Naturalization was applied for at the county courthouse in most cases. Try the free GenWeb website http://http://usgenweb.com/ for the county where you think your ancestor's applied for citizenship to see what resources they have available. Also, look up the county courthouse online for records and contact information. Declarations of Intent: The first document filed for citizenship The more recent the naturalization, the more likely you will find listed the place of birth, date of emigration and the ship on which they sailed. Brush up on your German border history. Most recent border changes occurred in 1945 and 1871. Wikipedia Consult a gazetteer at the library or online, and look up the town. This should indicate the parish and Kreis. Check familysearch.org: Enter the last name, and the country as Germany to see if people with the same last name are listed in the same location you have pinpointed in Germany. Also, Search PLACE under the Family History Library link to find out what records they hold for that village. Suggestion: Put the village name in the first field and the kreis in the second. Next, Timelines are a great tool for seeing the bigger picture and determining how the little bits of information fall within it. One of my favorite German sites is Genealogy.net German Genealogy website http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/ger1871.htm Email me & Visit the complete website at lisalouisecooke.com

Math game using playing cards?A few weeks ago, I was searching the web for ways to help my daughter learn multipication. I came across a game that she could play using standard playing cards. It envolved laying out a row of cards, doing some multipication - maybe multiplying a card from a draw pile by card in the line....but somehow, I didn't bookmark the page and now I can't find it. If you know of any such game where multipication is practiced with standard playing cards, please tell me about it. #2 2011-01-02 00:08:54

Allthough their backorders go back to june 2012.
Allthough their backorders go back to june 2012.
Yeah. Availability is a huge issue with the Bitcoin ASICs. If you were lucky enough to get one of the first Bitcoin mining units from Avalon you would now be making around $500 per day!!!
Inside the Race to Build the World's Fastest Bitcoin Miner « Wired
Those folks who've been lucky enough to get their hands on one of these early Avalon systems are cleaning up. Miner Jeff Garzik was the first person to take possession of a Avalon machine. Last year, he plunked down preorder money for a variety of custom ASIC rigs, including $1,300 for his Avalon system. "At the time, it was a very risky bet," he said in an email interview. "None of the ASIC vendors were shipping, and all were funding their efforts through a pre-order model, akin to Kickstarter. This meant any buyer was paying months in advance for hardware that did not exist, and not even a guarantee of a refund upon failure."
But Garzik's Avalon bet paid off. Big time. He got his system the end of January. Within 20 hours, it had earned him nearly 15 Bitcoins. Today it cranks out just under 4 Bitcoins per day. That's about $500 at current Bitcoin exchange rates. "The first mover advantage is enormous," Garzik said in an email interview.
There's also cloud mining https://cloudhashing.com
I bought 60 at £4.50 each. Got my stake back + £300 then sold a load more last week at £86 each. Kerching
@plexer. KnCMiner's Saturn and Jupiter Bitcoin ASIC miners are now available to order if you want one? They do 175GH/s and 350GH/s respectively, which is equivalent to approx. 245 or 490 AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards!!!
Oh god please don't invest in Bitcoin mining. You won't make your money back, and if you do it with school hardware you'll just end up wrecking the equipment and massively increase the electricity bill for the school too. Even if you do manage to make some coins, they won't hold their value for much longer because bitcoin is utterly useless as an actual currency. If you aren't looking to buy illegal drugs or questionable "adult" content, you will be hard pressed to find anywhere to actually spend your coins. Add on to that the fact that the value fluctuates by up to £50 per coin over a single day, and you have a completely unuseable currency in every way.
If you decide to ignore all these facts and set up your equipment to mine anyway, good luck actually mining any coins. Graphics card mining is literally worthless now that people have ASIC machines up and running, as ASICs are capable of performing hashing calcuations thousands of times faster than graphics cards. Bitcoin mining works by increasing the difficulty of the next hash depending on the total hashing power of the network. This means that the more people there are mining, and the more powerful their mining rigs are, the less profitable mining is. You will not make money now unless you run an extremely large mining operation, and even then you won't make a great deal.
Also lol at whoever linked BFL like they're some kind of legit mining company. I've been following them since they started pretty much, and they've had to change the spec on their boards about 10 times because they don't know how to properly build electronic systems. The units they're shipping now have a fraction of the originally promised power, and it could be up to two years before you even see the machine you've ordered because they have such slow production and such a massive backlog of orders. This is bad because it also means that by the time you receive your rig, hundreds of others will already have similarly powered rigs. This means that you will most likely never make a return on your investment, even if you mine 24/7.
In conclusion I would like to remind you that bitcoin was never actually meant to be used as a currency. It was a proof-of-concept toy designed to show how a decentralized currency system could work, but it was never intended to be used as an actual currency. If you want to make money using a cryptocurrency system there are much easier ways to do it than mining bitcoins.
Bumping to say that the price per coin has dropped to $86 now on btc-e bitcoinity.org/markets It's still at about $94 on MtGox but that figure is largely irrellevant as MtGox have frozen withdrawals at the moment so you can't actually cash out.
That's about $20 value lost on each coin over about 2 weeks. Who still thinks these are a good investment?
You could apply the same logic to trading any other kind of stock
Pick a short period where MS or Apple stock drops and say 'Who still thinks these are a good investment?'
Oh I've got a good place local to spend them Bitcoins for beer now in the UK - Mind Of The Geek
They aren't anywhere near as volatile as BTC though, and are somewhat predictable by following company news etc. The value of BTC is tied to nothing, and on their own bitcoins are worthless - they only have value if someone is willing to exchange them for something which does have value. There's no reason to own a bitcoin other than to spend it on something else, and so few businesses accept btc that this generally doesn't happen. On top of that the protocol is actually massively limited (only handles 10 transactions per second) which makes it totally impractical to actually use for sales. Bitcoin has been kept afloat by media attention up until now, but with the MtGox withdrawal freeze and the slow decline in prices we've seen over the past month or so, I don't think it will recover. The reason it's rebounded from crashes in the past is because the price has always fallen so dramatically that it becomes attractive to buy in, which in turn causes a big spike in the price and generates more media attention. If the price continues to decline slowly like this it won't generate any headlines, and so the protocol will just die a slow and quiet death in obscurity.
In the future a single coin will be worth nothing. Bitcoin value requires you to trade bitcoin for stuff, and people aren't actually doing that very much.
This was a double post but @plexer replied while I was typing so I'll use this to reply to him too.. (apologies)
This is one pub out of how many thousands in this country? I like how they don't mention that customers paying with bitcoins would have to stand around for 10-30 minutes waiting for the transfer to be confirmed before they could actually have their beers. Or they could pay a bigger transaction fee to get their beer faster, I suppose.
The thing is, the bitcoin protocol literally cannot work in any of these situations. If any significant volume of traders started accepting payments in btc, the network would grind to a halt and only the highest-fee transactions would be processed by miners. Do you find it annoying when you're paying with your debit card and you have to wait ~1 minute for the machine to dial the bank? Bitcoin delays would be ten times as long as that. This delay isn't something you can "fix" either, it's hard coded into the network.

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves
Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera returned from injuries to make their 2013 spring training debuts Saturday in the New York Yankees' 2-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
The 38-year-old Jeter was a designated hitter and singled sharply to left field on his first pitch since breaking his left ankle on Oct. 13 in the AL championship series opener. Jeter, who missed New York's first 13 spring training games, grounded out to third base in his only other at-bat.
Hours after announcing this will be his final season, the 43-year-old Rivera made his first game appearance since April 30, throwing a 1-2-3 fifth inning. Looking like his overpowering self of old, Rivera retired Dan Uggla on a popup to second, then threw called third strikes past Juan Francisco and Chris Johnson.
Rivera made just nine appearances last season before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while shagging fly balls on May 3. Rivera had surgery on June 12.
Braves starter Mike Minor allowed three hits and two walks in four shutout innings.

Well, some of the songs were pretty good...... and there was some violence..... however, the animation parts involving the portals were just plain awful (like an object passing through a portal that's waaaaay to small for it to fit through wth?)

Liked the idea very much and it was generally funny, however, do the voices yourself, or get a voice actor because i couldn't hear a word.

My HP 6930 laptop has a built in webcam. This used to work just fine when I had Windows installed.
Now that I am on Ubuntu, the webcam does not work.
I installed Cheese, but this is what I get:
How do I go about debugging this?
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
"No device found" sounds like no driver is found/loaded for the camera...
The camera on that model seams to be a Chicony, running the following should give you one line with the camera model: lsusb | grep 04f2 You can then look up your model (search for the number after the red text) on this site: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ |
Do u have /dev/video file? This is how webcams are seen. Also, try launching gstreamer-properties and inspecting the 'video' tab |
Install cheese (webcam software) by searching for 'cheese' in Ubuntu Software Centre. Then run cheese in a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) using this command:
Have a look at any errors that are printed in the terminal. You can copy these by selecting the text and pressing ctrl-shift-c. These should give you a clue to what the problem is. You could use the same process for any other software that you are using that uses the webcam. |
There are a number of webcam programs to access your webcam; Cheese is just one. To test if the default open source drivers are working I access my built-in webcam on my laptop using Video for Linux or Video for Linux 2 and VLC media player.
I use Video for Linux 2 [try experimenting with the other modes]. You may need to install Video for Linux in order for the Capture Device to become available. You can also check if there is a v4l device in the
which is a link to If you can see that It is a USB device but when I do
It looks like it does not show up. But it works for me. |
check the connections. Even if its an inbuilt one; for these you unscrew the front panel of the screen to get to the LCD itself (don't worry, it wont fall out, and the webcam plugged into USB on top of it (it will not look like a USB port, it looks just like an internal connector, but the technology is USB) |
I know this question is old, but I am desperate... Raj More, have you fixed this issue? I am experiencing the same problem with the same webcam (04f2:b221) and nobody seems to be helping me one the sites I posted the question :( Please, help! |

Have you considered trying with another monitor? You keep reporting connecting problems with the same TV and video card, so it's possible that either one could be the culprit.

Feb 3, 2013, 10:19 PM | #3 | |
it is a flashed card which connects perfectly to my tv via HDMI(no boot screen) but when connecting from DVI-VGA, it boots up with apple logo then doesn't send any signal. |

Have you tried both DVI ports? On my flashed 6870 card, the top DVI port does not work but the bottom one works fine with a boot screen. If both have the same issue, try borrowing a monitor with VGA/DVI inputs to test the card. That's all I got for now.

when booting i get the apple logo, spinning gear then boom no signal, as soon as this happens the fan on the card kicks up just a tiny bit btw. also is this the right adapter? http://www.ebay.com/itm/200714396562...84.m1439.l2649 |

then my friend let me borrowed his x1900xt and no problem at all using the dvi-vga adapter. im guess is my card then, so what now? |

Looks like a bad flash that somehow disabled both DVI ports. You could still try with a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable, but it probably will get the same result. This is the thread from netkas forum for flashing 5870/6870, and you need to register to download the EFI package attached to the first post. If you could locate a copy of the card's original ROM, you could try to reflash it again following the instructions, otherwise just use the HDMI port as a regular PC card with no EFI.

Shockwaves ran through the city this week as the FSA launched what it described as its largest ever operation against insider dealing in the UK, arresting six people including senior executives at BNP Paribas Exane brokerage affiliate and Deutsche Bank and a well-known equity execution trader at Moore Capitals European arm.
Julian Rifat of Moore Europe is among those implicated in the alleged insider dealing ring, which the FSA claims to be sophisticated and long-running. Well-known in London...

HUNTINGTON - Let us bust the myth right now, the one where George O'Leary's Central Florida teams like to just line up and pound the ball up the middle on every snap.
Not that the Knights don't enjoy doing that, but . . .
"They pound it 15 percent of the game, 20 percent of the game," said Chris Rippon, Marshall's defensive coordinator.
One in five, one in six plays, that's all. Still, the Knights are not exactly known for "grass basketball" - they haven't averaged 400 total yards a game two consecutive years since 2001-02, in the trash-talkin' Mike Kruczek era.
So what all do these guys do?
"The offense is centered on that [power running]. But the more people you put in the 'box,' the more opportunity they have of getting it out on the perimeter," Rippon said. "They're not a high-tempo, run 100 plays - that's not what [O'Leary] wants. He wants to keep the other team's offense off the field.
"But he's going to be in a two backs, a tight end, two wides; three wides, two backs; three wides, a tight end and a back; four wides; two tight ends, a wide receiver ... he's got every formation group, one tight end, four wide receivers. He's got every formation.
"So everybody says, 'He's pounding, he's pounding.' Yes, he's pounding you to open up everything else, and the second you spread yourself out he comes back and he pounds you, pounds you, pounds you. And they're good at it."
In other words, the Knights are really as diverse on offense as anybody, and Rippon's defense could see it all Saturday night. The teams meet at 8 p.m. Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, in a game with major Conference USA East Division implications.
Charlie Taafe, head coach at The Citadel in another Thundering Herd era, is in his fourth year as O'Leary's offensive coordinator. That's a constant, but the man behind center hasn't been - when Blake Bortles takes the field Saturday, he will be the sixth UCF starting quarterback the Herd as faced in seven years.
In 2010 and 2011, it was Jeff Godfrey, since moved to receiver. In 2009, Brett Hodges; in 2008, Rob Calabrese, still around as a receiver; in 2007, Kyle Israel; and 2006, Steven Moffett.
O'Leary and Taafe, who has coached every offense from wishbone to wildcat, has adapted to all. Bortles has adapted to them, too, and all teammates around him.

Donald Says: The Centric is hands down one of the most fun freestyle boards that I have ridden. It's got a "Nomex Honeycomb" tip and tail to make a very low swing weight, thus making spins super easy. The combo of a full sidewall and a "klothoid" side cut gives this board effortless high speed turning capabilities. If it's pop without a super stiff snowboard that you're looking for, this is it: It has carbon fiber strips in specialized areas to increase the pop without killing that wood core feel.

I'm a little unsure if the Palmer Centric is a freeride board or a freestyle board. The Palmer website has it under all mtn freeride boards while the Sierra website shows it as a freestyle board and Donalds comment on it is that it is a good freestyle board. Also the Sierra site shows that it has a low powder riding ability, is this true? The Sierra site makes it look more like a park board than an all mtn board.
Thanks for clearing up my confusion! |

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Time passes so quickly in Open Source that you can easily
trip over all the milestones if you don't watch where you're walking. Although this is definitely more agreeable than what you'll trip over in Closed Source, dancing around all the momentous beginnings and endings is always a challenge. We have one of those milestones this month. Because this event is much mentioned and little analyzed, I'll take a crack at it. I'm talking about the appearance of the Linspire free version known as Freespire. You'll find a review of Freespire in our Reviews section, as well as a news bit on it in this month's Software News. What's the big deal about another free Linux distro from a consumer-end corporate supplier? In truth, I don't think there is really a big technical story with Freespire, but we should at least mark this moment as the end of an experiment.

A Late Take on Barack Obama's Second Inaugural Address
Real life prevented this post from being written earlier (please don't ask for details; you would find them tedious), but the most striking thing about the president's inaugural address was its marked ideological tone, and its combative nature. So much for the politician who promised to heal our politics.
This president has proven that he is no different a political gladiator from the others who have come along—others whom he has accused in the past of cheapening our politics. There was some pretty phrasing in the inaugural address, but no "ask not" moments. The most notable item to me was the embrace of marriage equality for same sex couples; as one who supports same sex marriage and the end of "Don't Ask/Don't Tell," I am glad that the president finally got around to endorsing positions long held by the likes of Dick Cheney and John Bolton on the issue of marriage. Indeed, let us not forget that the president believes that marriage equality for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals is so incredibly important that he waited until last year—when he had to shore up his liberal base in advance of re-election—before endorsing and embracing the idea.
I can understand why liberals loved the speech—it was like catnip to them on multiple levels. But that doesn't detract from David Ignatius's criticisms:
… the speech lacked the unifying or transcendent ideas that could help Obama do much more than continue the Washington version of trench warfare during his second term. If you were hoping that the president would set the stage for a grand bargain to restructure America's entitlement programs and fiscal health for the 21st century, you wouldn't have found much encouragement.
Missing from the speech was the first inaugural address's perhaps naïve dream of uniting America. This second speech seemed to accept that America is divided and, as Obama put it, "progress does not compel us to settle centuries long debates about the role of government for all time." He called out those who would "treat name-calling as reasoned debate"—I wonder who that could mean?—but Obama's plan seemed to be to roll the negativists, rather than try any longer to reason with them.
The area where the speech was spongiest was foreign policy. Obama reiterated his campaign theme that "a decade of war is now ending" and that maintaining peace does not require "perpetual war." That certainly fits the mood of the war-weary nation that re-elected him. And there was a ritual assertion of internationalism, in the insistence that "America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe."
This is good rhetoric, but empty policy guidance. A listener wouldn't have had a clue that a war is going on in Syria that has claimed over 60,000 lives, and that there is no discernible American policy to deal with it. A listener wouldn't have known that a group called Al Qaeda still exists, let alone that it has left savage calling cards this past week in Algeria, just as it did in September in Libya.
(Via InstaPundit.) Incidentally, does anyone else find it hilarious that the same president whose re-election campaign was responsible for … well … this, has the temerity to lecture the rest of us about how name-calling does not constitute reasoned debate?
We Americans, in the president's telling, have continually "discovered" the need for ever-larger government while conveniently retaining all of our skepticism of central authority and celebration of private initiative. And a lucky thing it is that we keep enlarging government, since the alternative is apparently the end of all large-scale enterprise: "No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people."
We cannot "treat name-calling as reasoned debate," Obama said, in a speech made possible by a campaign that described his opponent as seeking to ship jobs overseas, oppress rape victims and spread cancer.
Yes he can … overcome strawmen.
But he chooses not to. Meanwhile, Robert Tracinski just finds the president's rhetoric to be yawnworthy:
I was not going to comment on President Obama's second inaugural address until I saw a headline quoting a line from the speech: "We are made for this moment."
Really? "This moment"—again?
"This moment" was in Obama's big speech in Berlin as a candidate, when he declared to the "people of the world" that "this is our moment. This is our time." For what, was never clear and still isn't. "This moment" was also in his acceptance speech in 2008 and it was probably in his last inaugural. Let's just say that we've heard it before.
I said recently that politics is going to be boring for a little while, but in his second term, Barack Obama is going to be really super boring.
The rest of his speech suffered from the same insufferable sameness. Paths will be long and difficult, "some" may be recalcitrant naysayers, but it will be our generation's task to carry on, etc., etc., etc.
Within all of this, there was a central idea, but it was—no surprise—one we've heard before.
"No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people."
This is the president's favorite false alternative: either we do things "alone," or government does them for us "collectively." What this world view leaves out, of course, is the voluntary cooperation of private individuals, particularly their cooperation in the free market. Which is to say that he excludes from his world view the actual majority of human activity.
I disagree with Tracinski. I don't find the president to be boring. Quite the contrary; he is proving to be rather consequential. It's just that I am worried about those consequences he is bringing about and I think that Tracinski does a better job of validating those concerns than he does in validating the idea that the president is "boring." I doubt I am alone in stating that I would take "boring" over "wrong" any day of the week any twice on Sundays.

What is frightening is the media's reporting of the speech. The left has got their supporters convinced that the right are selfish, gun crazy hill billies who woukd nit pass an exam on history or math. This very false image has been blasted to the world for decades now. Hilary with her glasses to hide her eyes, is seen as tge poor lady being attacked by extremists who just want to fight. It must be depressing for the conservatives to see the media lap up Obama's speech.

Recognizing irony is not their strong point. Nor is consistency. (Those who think Barack Obama is the smartest guy to ever occupy the Oval Office would probably point out here that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds").
I have a little mind.
Which is why I said yesterday, in a comment on the member feed, that if you want to find out how much of a 'difference' it makes, just see what happens if you announce that you have incontrovertible proof that the murder of four Americans in Benghazi was committed by a gun-toting, Bible-thumping, Tea Party member from Looneyville, WV.
The 'giant sucking (in every way) sound' you would hear is the national press corps exiting the room and heading for the nightly news cameras.

"How do you bear it?"
Finnick looks at me in disbelief. "I don't, Katniss! Obviously, I don't. I drag myself out of nightmares each morning and find there's no relief in waking." Something in my expression stops him.

Does anyone know how we stand with the J Benjamin? I almost like that kid as much as Kimbrough... Benjamin may even hit harder, he's also one of those combo backers i've been talking about in that he can play inside LB on running downs then go do De/Outside LB in sub packages... Joker needs to throw the kitchen sink at that kid. If joker could land Drennon, Benjamin and Timmons that would be sweet... Is J Benjamin coming to lex anytime soon??? Kids a SEC starter right now.
Warmother51 said...
Word I got on Benjamin is, he is interested right now. He is definitely looking hard at UK.
Ok well what about Cunningham, Battle's teamate? He's said to have 4.5 speed and his highlight video is elite, make sure you watch both if you haven't already... He has over 30 offers so I would say our chances are slim if any...

► Grapheme-color synesthetes display hyperexcitability in primary visual cortex ► Synesthetes and controls do not differ in motor cortex excitability ► Synesthesia can be modulated using transcranial direct current stimulation
Synesthesia is an unusual condition characterized by the over-binding of two or more features and the concomitant automatic and conscious experience of atypical, ancillary images or perceptions [1,2,3]. Previous research suggests that synesthetes display enhanced modality-specific perceptual processing [4,5,6,7], but it remains unclear whether enhanced processing contributes to conscious awareness of color photisms. In three experiments, we investigated whether grapheme-color synesthesia is characterized by enhanced cortical excitability in primary visual cortex and the role played by this hyperexcitability in the expression of synesthesia. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, we show that synesthetes display 3-fold lower phosphene thresholds than controls during stimulation of the primary visual cortex. We next used transcranial direct current stimulation to discriminate between two competing hypotheses of the role of hyperexcitability in the expression of synesthesia. We demonstrate that synesthesia can be selectively augmented with cathodal stimulation and attenuated with anodal stimulation of primary visual cortex. A control task revealed that the effect of the brain stimulation was specific to the experience of synesthesia. These results indicate that hyperexcitability acts as a source of noise in visual cortex that influences the availability of the neuronal signals underlying conscious awareness of synesthetic photisms.

Five Essay Prompts for Breaking Bad 5×11: 'Confessions'
These questions regard last night's episode of AMC's Breaking Bad. Please answer the prompts with specific examples from LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE, though supplementary material will be accepted as a secondary source. Please write legibly. No. 2 pencils only. You have an hour to finish this test. See below for questions and sample responses.
1. Just when you think Breaking Bad is getting cliched … well … so much for Walt's heartfelt, Sergeant Brody-esque "confession" tape. Marie's right to call it a "threat," since it places the blame directly on his brother-in-law. The message is clear: I go down, you're going down harder. But doesn't it almost seem like just that–a threat, and nothing more? It's hard to conceive of Walt going through with that story, one in which he's been played for the patsy, for no other reason than his own ego. (And whatever happened to family first?) Read More

text: American Korean Civic Organization 3218 Corinth Avenue Los Angeles, California 90066 December 1, I98O AKCO TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS ACTIVITIES On November 15> 1980, after nineteen years (since 1961) of community service, the American Korean Civic Organization has temporarily suspended its activities. At a dinner meeting held at Yue's Restaurant in Gardena, a majority of the membership in attendance voted to temporarily suspend operations. In taking their action, the current officers headed by Kay Song noted that interest and participation in Club activities had been declining in recent years. The membership also acted to entrust the guardianship of the organization to Philip Lyou. There Is approximately $1400 in the Club treasury, and Rose Shur will continue as treasurer. Carrie Kwon will continue in a secretarial capacity as needed. It is anticipated that the AKCO will be reactivated when there is renewed interest and a worthwhile objective can be identified as a viable goal. Any suggestions can be placed for Board consideration by contacting Philip Lyou at 16419 St. Andrews Place, Gardena, California 90247, (213) 323-8424.

You do need a referral to begin TMJ therapy.
Referrals for physical therapy can be made by a doctor, chiropractor or dentist. If you have Medicare, you must have a referral from your medical doctor.
To make an appointment or for more information, call 612-262-7900 unless noted on the list below.
TMJ therapy is available at the following Courage Kenny Sports & Physical Therapy locations:
From yawning to chewing food and talking, the TMJ is one of the most frequently used joints in our body. When injured or overused, TMJ disorders can be painful.
Courage Kenny Sports & Physical Therapy therapists have special training to reduce pain and increase function.
Temporomandibular and mastication disorders, also known as TMJ disorders, are common causes of headache, facial pain, ear pain and ringing in the ears.
The TMJ is the jaw joint, located on each side of the face in front of the ear. The joint can be damaged or displaced during a fall or a blow to the face or jaw.
TMJ disorders can also be the result of chronic problems such as clenching or grinding teeth or constant gum chewing, poor posture or chronic neck pain.
As TMJ disorders become worse, jaw noises such as clicking, popping, rubbing or grinding can occur. Jaw movement can become limited and irregular and you may experience headaches, facial pain, difficulty or discomfort while chewing and muscle spasms.
Physical therapy is highly effective at managing TMJ conditions by decreasing pain and improving function.
Courage Kenny Sports & Physical Therapy has several physical therapists who provide specialty care to patients with TMJ conditions.
Physical therapy involving specific procedures directly over the chewing muscles and joints, inside and outside the mouth, can help restore jaw function. Treatment of associated neck and back problems frequently is needed, too.
Our physical therapists work closely with the referring provider to help coordinate care to ensure the best outcomes.

The first Tokaji Aszú (toh-KAY ah-SOO) wine was created in the 1600s, perhaps by accident - a harvest delayed by threat of enemy invasion.

"It's just not true at all because that totally ignores the fact that once Kennedy got the nomination Byrd goes out and campaigns for John Kennedy," Corbin said.
Corbin point out Byrd campaigned for Kennedy and his running mate Lyndon Johnson in North Carolina and Texas, where there was a large Southern Baptist population.
"It was very important because the Southern Baptists in Texas were furious with LBJ for being on the ticket with John Kennedy," Corbin said. "Both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson would attribute their victories in North Carolina and Texas to Byrd's help."
Corbin's research shows John F. Kennedy and Robert C. Byrd had a good personal and working relationship during the President's tenure.
After Corbin delves into Byrd's childhood and rise in West Virginia politics in the book, he breaks the book into 11 more chapters, one for each President Byrd served with.
Corbin came up with the idea of dividing the chapters by presidential administration while sitting with Byrd on the Senate floor just before Byrd delivered a speech about serving for 50 years in the Senate.
"He and I started discussing the speech, looking over the speech, and we started discussing a lot of the historical events he'd been involved in," Corbin said. "We were talking about the cold war, Vietnam, civil rights, Watergate, the near impeachment of Richard Nixon, the impeachment of Bill Clinton."
Corbin said Byrd related each event to the president who was serving at the time and whether he worked or fought with that president. After that conversation it dawned on Corbin that no other senator had served with as many presidents as Byrd.
"A better way to put it, no other person has had so much impact on 11 U.S. presidents," Corbin said. "To put it in perspective, that's one fourth of the presidents in the history of the United States."
Corbin said four pillars were at the heart of everything Byrd did: God, country, the constitution and West Virginia. Corbin also wants the book to convey how well Byrd related to people in the state, which Corbin observed many times traveling around the with the senator in an RV called The Mountain Eagle.
"I saw the way he related to West Virginians, or the way West Virginians related to him is what was amazing," Corbin said. "People would just come up to him and actually they would hug us, his staffers, because we worked for Byrd.
"All over the state, wherever you went, it was just amazing to see the way people gravitated toward the man, just the way they admired him, and the emotional attachment as well as the political attachment."
Corbin hopes to eventually write a full biography about Sen. Byrd.
"The Last Great Senator: Robert C. Byrd's Encounters with 11 United States Presidents" is published by Potomac Books. It will be released next Friday.
Corbin is scheduled to appear at the West Virginia Book Festival in Charleston Oct. 13, and will speak at the Robert C. Byrd Center for Legislative Studies at Shepherd University on Oct. 16.
