Voted For David Cozad
It's time to put someone whose first priority is to the PEOPLE of Texas, and not the CEO's of foriegn oil companies.Who do you support for U.S. House in Texas (District 6) in 2010?
Posted in the Crockett Forum
United States |
Joe has been there way to long. However, until there is a more viable candidate I guess he will have to do. I personally will not vote for either of the candidates. It is my opinion that this section of the ballet needs to be left blank as to send Barton a message that he may loose should a more suitable candidate run against him next time.
Having dealt with Joe Barton on a few issues I will say this. I'd rather deal with Rick Perry.....both equally as arrogant and egotistical in my opinion.
Barton needs to go, and I have told him that. |
Since: Dec 07 11 Venus |
Voted For Byron Severns get rid of all of them and start new |
Joe has got to go
Voted For Byron Severns How did we end up with the biggest deficit in history? By electing the biggest spending candidates. I have not spent trillions in Congress, but I do know how to promote jobs and the economy by using ideas from the US Constitution, without any deficit spending. |
How did we end up with the biggest deficit in history? By electing the biggest spending candidates. I have not spent trillions in Congress, but I do know how to promote jobs and the economy without any deficit spending. See my website bryonseverns.com
who is he |
Voted For Joe Barton Mr Burton has held a conserative stance and I want that to stay in Washington. To many free spenders and special interest people in office at this time. |
Voted For Joe Barton Could not get a qualified person to run against him, so he is the last choice with some conservative values |
Voted For Joe Barton He is OK |
Voted For Joe Barton Judged: 1 1 1 However, if any of the Republicans (including Joe Barton) think that we are voting them in just because they are Republicans, they will definitely have a rude awakening coming if they don't perform up to the new Conservative/Tea Party standards. They can quickly find themselves out on their ears along with President. Obama! AMERICANS ARE AWAKE NOW ... AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING THEIR EYES OFF OF THE BALL AGAIN! |
Umm, this coming from the Suzanne that is a teacher and her hubbie that is a firefighter that both belong to big unions. Of course, she has stated she hates unions....except those two.... Blinders! |
Cut and paste left those odd characters in "her" post. A 4 sentence post and it needs to be cut and pasted? Haven't got the brains to come up with something original? |
Every wonder why Joe Barton felt compelled to apologize on behalf of BP for their destruction of our coastline?
Because he's bought & paid for by the oil industry to the tune of $17.2 million over his 13 terms Barton, who decried the "shakedown" of BP, has watched the cash flow in from Anadarko Petroleum, owner of 25% of BP's Deepwater Horizon well. do your research people. To vote along party lines is to remove your ability to think as a free individual Send this crook a message |
Barton is a bible thumping dipwad. This is why Texans love him so.

The Broken Hearth: Reversing the Moral Collapse of the American Family,by William J. Bennett
William Bennett's latest book provides a succinct account of the dissolution of the family and the morality that supports it. In this slender and readable volume, Bennett takes just the right tone in discussing, and defending marriage and family—subjects that are political, with immense social repercussions, and yet involve the deepest of personal sentiments. The book is deliberative, well reasoned, and sympathetic, but nonetheless presses upon the reader the magnitude of the crisis of the American family.
The story Bennett tells is sad—indeed, heartbreaking. He shows, without a hint of shrillness or smugness, the depth of human suffering that has accompanied the destruction of the family, while also painting a vivid picture of the goodness and desirability of a healthy family. He tackles head-on the leading arguments against the nuclear family and the traditional roles of motherhood and fatherhood. And he shows that at the center of these liberal and libertarian doctrines and institutions is a rejection of objective morality that undermines not only the family but also all that Americans once considered good, decent, and sacred.
Going beyond the usual conservative argument for the social utility of the family, Bennett explains in human terms the real happiness and contentment that spring from a healthy family life. Such an effort is critically important today, when so many Americans will never themselves be part of a happy family.

NVIDIA Announces Shield Pricing, Taking Pre-orders
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | May 14, 2013 - 09:06 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tegra 4, tegra, shield, project shield, nvidia
Solid information about the NVIDIA Shield (no longer called Project Shield) is finally becoming available with a blog post written up today on NVIDIA's website. The company will begin accepting pre-orders from users that have previously signed up for the Shield mailing list while the rest of you will have to wait until May 20th to plop down your money.
The cost? $349. Newegg, Gamestop, Micro Center and Canada Computer will carry it.
If you want to sign up for official June release schedule of the Tegra 4 powered mobile Android gaming device, you'll have to head over to shield.nvidia.com.
NVIDIA does point out in the blog that the PC game streaming feature that I truly believe is the one thing that makes Shield a compelling gaming device, will be launching as BETA feature.
And GeForce game streaming, launching as a beta feature, will give SHIELD the power to access your NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU-powered computer from the comfort of your couch. We're working on streaming your favorite PC games to SHIELD, including great titles from Steam.
High level features of the device, for those of you that are unaware, include:
- Tegra 4 – The world's fastest mobile processor delivers rich graphics and unbeatable performance thanks to 72 GPU cores, four CPU cores and 2GB of RAM
- Console-grade controller – Precise control thanks to dual analog joysticks, a full-sized D-Pad, left and right analog triggers, full-sized bumpers and A/B/X/Y buttons
- Multi-touch display – 5-inch, 720p retinal multi-touch display for high-fidelity visuals
- Integrated speakers – Custom, bass reflex, tuned port audio system – we think this is SHIELD's sleeper feature
- Wi-Fi – 802.11n 2X2 MIMO game-speed Wi-Fi for seamless game streaming
- Pure Android – Latest Android Jelly Bean operating system from Google, for access to Android games and apps
- There's more – We put into SHIELD everything we would want in a premium mobile gaming device: 16 GB memory, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, a mini-HDMI output, micro-USB 2.0, a microSD storage slot, a 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack. See the full spec sheet, here.
We took a look at the NVIDIA Shield device at CES this year and posted a video of our experiences, so check it out below.
NVIDIA has also posted a separate blog that talks about some of the upcoming Android games that will highlight the power of the Tegra 4 mobile processor including Broken Age and Costume Quest from Double Fine, Chuck's Challenge from Niffler and more.
I think many people at NVIDIA as well as in the media are very curious to see what the reaction of Shield will actully be upon its release. I am very excited to test it out in real-world, long term usage models but I definitely have doubts about the market's desire for another mobile gaming platform.
Leave me your thoughts in the comments below!!
NVIDIA shows Project Shield manufacturing mold, building hype
Subject: Mobile | May 10, 2013 - 03:28 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tegra 4, tegra, shield, project shield, nvidia
After the initial announcement at CES in January, NVIDIA has been trying hard to keep excitement and interest about Project Shield going. The upcoming Tegra 4-powered mobile Android-based gaming machine will be launched sometime in the summer; both Computex and E3 would make perfect timing.
NVIDIA passed us a photo of the mold for the casing of Project Shield and though you don't really get any awesome new information out of it, I thought I would share.
The photo you see below shows the production mold that's used to craft the ergonomic casing that houses Project SHIELD's high-powered components: Tegra 4, 5-inch 720p HD retinal touchscreen, Stereo Bass Reflex Speakers, WiFi, accelerometer, gyro, a massive battery, and more.
To create the casing, we inject a polycarbonate material into the RHCM (Rapid Heat Cycle Molding) tool at 10,800 PSI and 300 degrees Celsius. We use a polycarbonate mixture comprised of 90% Sabic 500ECR-739 PC and 10% glass. This material and injection molding process ensures a sturdy yet lightweight casing that will deliver hours of gaming with no fatigue.
In case you are behind on what Project Shield is, you should check out the hands-on video we made during our time with the device last January.
What do you think...are you excited about the launch of this device? Do any of its features really make you want to buy it once available?
NVIDIA's Project SHIELD is just about ready
Subject: General Tech | March 26, 2013 - 01:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tegra 4, tegra, shield, nvidia, Tegrazone
Remember Project Shield from CES and before? The Inquirer has managed to get their hands on an actual console at the Game Developers Conference and played a bit of Need For Speed streamed from a PC onto the Shield. Project Shield its self is a Tegra 4 powered controller running Android 4.2 with a 5" 720p display attached and wireless connectivity. The actual game is streamed wireless from a PC with a Kepler GPU via the Tegrazone application, so the real performance limit occurs from latency, similar to the company once known as Onlive. While The Inq was not quite ready to toss their money at Project Shield, but it was close.
"CHIP DESIGNER Nvidia caused something of a stir at CES when it announced the Project Shield handheld games console, and with its launch nearing, the firm is letting people try its first own-brand game console, which we managed to get our hands on at this week's GDC gaming conference in San Francisco."

NVIDIA Project SHIELD Development Detailed - Idea to Launch in One Year
Subject: Mobile | January 30, 2013 - 06:13 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tegra 4, tegra, shield, nvidia
A very interesting blog post by NVIDIA's Brian Caulfield tells the story of "How Project SHIELD Got Built" and you might be surprised about the timeline they were on. In the story Caulfield details the team's move from idea to the CES release in under 12 months:
In less than a year, SHIELD has grown from an idea dreamed up by Jen-Hsun, Tony, and a handful of others into a conspiracy involving hundreds of gaming fanatics across every department at NVIDIA. "We've been talking on and off about building something for more than five years, maybe 10," says Tony.
Caulfield goes on to detail several steps in the process including design, production, the first module shown to Huang, NVIDIA CEO, and more. After realizing that they had the hardware with Tegra 4 and the software (both GeForce Experience and the controller drivers used by games from the TegraZone store), Tony Tomasi surmised that the company should "just build a device with a great controller built in."
The first prototype, assembled in early 2012, was little more than a game controller fastened to a smartphone with wood. From that crude beginning, NVIDIA's team of industrial designers sculpted a device that could fit in a user's hands. No outsourcing required: NVIDIA has a team of veterans who have already shaped the look of a number of products built around NVIDIA's processors, such as the drool-worthy GeForce GTX 690.
Unfortunately no images of that wood-clad version of the SHIELD were shared, but the idea is amusing none the less. NVIDIA does admit that the killer feature of the device is the ability to stream PC games from a GeForce powered machine to the SHIELD remotely.
Streaming games from PCs equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 or better GPUs puts cutting-edge games on SHIELD on day one. As NVIDIA's smart, funny marketing VP Ujesh Desai put it, when cynical gamers ask the eternal question – 'but can it play Crysis' – NVIDIA will have a simple answer 'yes it does.'
And apparently some developers have been "lobbying" NVIDIA to make a console for years - a fact that I find both interesting and hilarious.
Overall the post is incredibly insightful, if a bit overly "marketing-ish" about the product it discusses. With such a tight timeline on the design and build I am curious to see if NVIDIA will be able to meet the deadline of release they set during CES: Q2 2013. Also, many lines in the blog post are obviously meant to temper the fact that NVIDIA chips will find their way into exactly zero (0) consoles this generation and it is becoming more and more obvious that SHIELD is a reaction to that fact.
We are eager to learn more and get our hands on it again!
NVIDIA to start producing tablets and smartphones for white-labeling
Subject: Mobile | January 28, 2013 - 03:35 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: white label, tegra 4, tegra, tablet, shield, nvidia, cell phone
If you thought that NVIDIA's entry into the world of the mobile entertainment and gaming device market was odd with the announcement of the Shield Android-powered unit, we have some more rumors sneaking up from Droidlife.com about a possible move to develop and manufacture cell phones and tablets as well.
While many SoC vendors often create proof of concept designs based around their own chips, none of the major players are in the business of building devices meant to find their way into consumers hands. NVIDIA appears to be taking a page from its own book in the world of retail graphics cards and is planning on producing nearly complete cell phones and tablets to be rebranded and sold directly to consumers. PC users are used to this practice already and you can see if happen with ever nearly every GPU launch - graphics cards that have the same specs and design with only a different sticker on the cooler.
The process of white labeling is very frequent in today's laptop designs as well and it is how companies like AVADirect, MAINGEAR and iBuyPower are able to produce and sell custom notebooks.
From what is in the report, NVIDIA has their eyes set on both tablets and smartphones, with plans to start designing and creating their devices around May or June of this very year. If all goes according to plan, we will begin to see a ton of cheap (but not any less in quality terms) 7-10″ tablets hitting the market, all running NVIDIA chipsets.
If this process does take hold in the mid-2013 time frame you can start to expect a lot of low cost options based on Tegra SoCs to hit in the holiday time frame. There are concerns to be dealt with though if in fact NVIDIA attempt the white label move. First, there is potential for "cheap" products, and by that I mean cheaply built, ruining the Tegra name and brand that NVIDIA has been building over the last few years. Also, NVIDIA could offend and upset other vendors like Samsung and ASUS with whom they depend on to make the "high-end" products that many enthusiasts lust over.
As a small player though (in terms of pure sell through) NVIDIA is looking for anyway it can to improve its market share and starting up a white label market for smartphones and tablets is definitely something that could open up new opportunities.

Drop Dead Diva's resident pakery chef Stacy (April Bowlby) is in for a rude awakening when she seeks the business advice of Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran.
In the exclusive sneak peek below...read more
Like the show's titular character, Drop Dead Diva is coming back to life!
After being canceled in January, the Lifetime series will return for a fifth season Sunday at 9/8c, picking up shortly after Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliot) kissed former love Grayson (Jackson Hurst) at her wedding to Owen (Lex Medlin). Oops! Meanwhile, Old Jane pushed the return button, sending her back to Earth. But whose body will she end up in? TVGuide.com spoke with executive producer Josh Berman to get the scoop on the new season:read more
Popular Shark Tank panelist Barbara Corcoran can invest in and reject companies with ease, but how does she fare in her first acting role, playing herself on the July 7 episode of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva? "I spent five to six hours memorizing my script," she says, "and I still flubbed my lines."
Jane talks to Joan Rivers, her therapist, about her upcoming wedding.
In a case involving toxic soil, Jane decides to represent the plaintiff, in these clips from episode 10.
Paul comes to Kim's rescue and stands up for her, in this scene from Episode 6 (Fool For Love) of Drop Dead Diva Season 5.
In these highlights from episode 7, Jane takes her mother's case when she gets in legal trouble with an airline.
More Clips & Interviews

After surviving the return of crazy Rose, the gang won't have a moment to catch their breath before another whack job from the past returns to wreak havoc on CBS' Two and a Half Men.
April Bowlby, who played Kandi — Charlie's actress/lover and Alan's second wife — in 15 episodes from 2005-07, will pop up in Malibu to seduce one of the regulars (the episode is scheduled to air November 29). And by regulars, I mean Alan (now at a high point in his relationship with Lyndsey), Lyndsey (none too pleased about Kandi's return), Jake (who'll catch an STD), Walden (who's starstruck by Kandi) or Berta (who gets a special birthday gift in the episode).
"The season is definitely heading towards a wedding with Jane and somebody."
That's right, Drop Dead Diva's former model-turned-lawyer — in another body, natch — may soon be walking down the aisle, according to creator Josh Berman, who says Jane (Brooke Elliott) will find herself in the middle of a love triangle between Grayson (Jackson Hurst) and Owen (Lex Medlin).

Forty One Madison App Now LiveThursday October 10th, 2013 - 2:34PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Forty One Madison has launched its own App, available now, designed to make working the Forty One Madison building easier, especially during the fall New York Tabletop Market, held October 15 to 18. "With the creation of the Forty One Madison App, we're making our showroom directory, many of our buyer services and other information essentials more immediately accessible with the swipe of a finger and touch of a button on hand-held devices," said Laurie Burns, svp/director of Forty One Madison. "Our goal is to make the experience for visitors to the show more convenient, efficient and productive." Showroom listings are the cornerstone of the App, and they are organized three ways: alphabetically, by floor and by category. An image gallery also is accessible, featuring a company's newest products. Touch a showroom's email address or phone contact text when it pops up on the screen, and it automatically lets you connect, according to Forty One Madison. Incorporated also is a "To Do" section, allowing the user to keep a record of the specific showrooms to visit. A range of nearby restaurants are listed, with a link to Google maps thoughtfully provided, along with instant access to direct calling for a reservation. The App links, as well, to Forty One's Facebook page and there's an integrated Twitter feed. The App is free and available in native version for Apple, Android and Blackberry 10, plus in mobile web version for all other device models. Lenox brand vp Sherri Crisenbery said, "From our perspective, this is an important reference tool that will aid our retail customers both during Market and throughout the entire year. We're especially excited to have a major presence on the landing page, sponsoring what we forecast to be a 'must have' for anyone doing business at Forty One." Next week during the market, "Get The App in a Snap" ambassadors will be posted in the lobby and armed with mobile devices to help demonstrate the usage, answer questions and help users become familiar with the system. "The guide is very intuitive and easy to navigate, and, coming on the heels of our new building-wide WiFi system, it underscores how deeply committed we are to supporting both our showrooms and the retailers who shop the building," added Burns.

Alicia Sligh was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and friend. She was working and going to school but early Sunday morning she was found her dead in a car in Marshville. Police believe someone killed her. No one saw what happened.
The state of North Carolina is planning to use some of your taxpayer money to pay for toll roads just outside the Queen City.
Monday night, nearly 150 angry taxpayers showed up to protest the state's plan.
If the state continues to move forward, the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane from Brookshire Blvd north would transform into a toll lane. Construction workers would build an additional lane as well. The two new toll lanes would stretch from Brookshire Blvd to Exit 28. From Exit 28 to Exit 36, crews would add one toll lane in each direction.
"They need to widen the road. The HOV lanes are empty people don't want to use them," said Huntersville resident Carole Gibbons.
Gibbons and the group Widen I-77 met to protest plans to add any toll lanes, and use existing gas tax money to fund the project.
"It's (our gas tax) going to other parts of the state. They need to start looking towards Charlotte," Gibbons said.
But Cornelius Mayor Pro Tem Chuck Travis says the camera operated toll lanes would guarantee the widening to happen, and decades sooner.
"It's funding for today," he said.
DOT officials estimate the project to cost between $500 and $550 million. State, federal, and taxpayer money would pay for $110 to $170 of the project. The rest would come from private sources.
"Does it solve congestion? Yes," Travis said.
A spokesman with the state DOT says officials are constantly making changes to their plan and nothing is set in stone, though the state is moving forward with the current plan. Drivers with three or more in the car would not have to pay any tolls.

Rotting wood and corroding steel. There's at least 70 bridges in Woodbury County that look are in desperate need of repairs. But without the funds, the counties' hands are tied.
"It's frustrating from that point of view," said Mark Nara, Woodbury county engineer.
Right now the Iowa Department of Transportation is $215 million behind in critical road repairs. Nara says it's mostly due to the fact that funding remains the same, while the cost of construction continues to go up.
"Our money does not got go anywhere near as far as it use to."
So in an effort to generate more money, a new bill in an Iowa House Subcommittee is looking to take red light and speed cameras revenue from cities, like here in Sioux City. But if that money's taken away, Sioux City will be forced to make more budget cuts than it already has. That's why Nara says this new bill may not be the way to go.
"I've long advocated the increase in the fuel tax."
Nara says given the severity of the road conditions in Iowa, the revenue from the cameras will just be a small drop in the bucket, a drop he thinks would be better for the cities.
"Every bit of a revenue is a help, but I think it would hurt the cities that are utilizing that more than it would help us counties."
Speed cameras in Sioux City brought in close to $2 million to the city last year. Red light cameras brought in close to another million dollars. And all that money is in danger of being taken from the city and given to the state. As the bill stands now, the city would be able to use the funds it generated to pay off expenses dealing with the cameras. The rest of the money would be given to the state.

Long range inductive sensor for difficult applications
Balluff Q40 inductive proximity block sensor is compact in size, senses at long ranges, withstands hostile environments.
Balluff developed the Q40 inductive proximity block sensor with Factor 1 technology to solve the difficult application problems. The Q40 delivers sensing ranges up to 40mm in a small housing, with weld field immunity and the ability to sense aluminium and steel at the same distance. Each Q40 sensor head can be mounted in five positions and has highly visible corner LEDs, while the connector outlet is also adjustable within a 270° range.
Although the factor 1 sensors are the first choice for hostile welding applications due to their PTFE coated sensing face and immunity to magnetic fields, this sensor is also suitable for other applications where the sensor needs to perform no matter what the type of metal target material.
Balluff's Factor 1 Q40 Block sensors are designed with multi-metal functionality in mind. An example of this would be a packaging line where cans of various sizes and/or materials are being run on the same line. Aluminium cans are a difficult target to detect due to their thin walls and low inductance. The Factor 1 Q40 sensor not only detects the cans as they backup in the accumulator, but it also detects the cans at a distance much greater than a standard tubular proximity sensor. Additionally the switching and operating state of the sensor can be identified far away due to the highly visible LED.
In addition to the Q40 block sensor, Balluff offers various Factor 1 and Factor 1+ sensor options combining multi-metal sensing with the longest range of all the standard sensor sizes.

Born David John Moore Cornwell, John le Carré grew up learning a thing or two about deception from his father, who frequently dabbled in shady business schemes and associated with known gangsters. Rather than follow his dad's trouble-prone path, he became an outstanding student and worked for the British Secret Service (MI5) while still at university, monitoring any possible Soviet influence at Oxford's Lincoln College. By the late 1950s, he was a full MI5 operative and regularly participated in various highly classified activities, including conducting interrogations and setting up surveillance. Inspired by fellow spy-turned-author John Bingham, he started writing espionage novels under the le Carré nom de plume, with his first outing, Call for the Dead (1961), marking the debut of the keenly perceptive intelligence operative George Smiley. The inquisitive protagonist returned to track down a killer in A Murder of Quality (1962), but in le Carré's third novel, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1963), Smiley appeared as only a supporting character, with the focus changing to Alec Leamas, a conflicted secret agent contending with Cold War tensions.
Not long after its publication, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold was made into a Hollywood film starring Richard Burton and Claire Bloom. Given its warm reception, the movie paved the way for future le Carré adaptations, including "The Deadly Affair" (1966), which featured James Mason and was based on Call for the Dead. By this point, le Carré's aesthetic was firmly established, with his deliberately unfolding espionage tales rooted in moral dilemmas and realism, unlike Ian Fleming's cavalier and adventurous James Bond novels. Although he briefly detoured from the spy world for the romance-gone-wrong story The Naïve and Sentimental Lover (1971), which was influenced by his own divorce at the time, le Carré returned to form for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (1974), a complex cloak-and-dagger novel that brought Smiley back to the fore. Five years later, the BBC turned the book into an esteemed miniseries that featured the legendary Alec Guinness in the lead role.
After two more Smiley-centric books, The Honourable Schoolboy (1977) and Smiley's People (1979), which rounded out the "Karla Trilogy," the latter novel compelled Guinness to return for another TV stint, once again winning over audiences and critics with his quietly powerful take on Smiley. Shortly thereafter, le Carré turned to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for The Little Drummer Girl (1973), which was swiftly adapted into a 1974 movie by George Roy Hill that starred Diane Keaton and Klaus Kinski, but met with a notably lackluster reception. A Perfect Spy (1986) followed, allowing le Carré to explore his own issues with his father in the themes of the book, resulting in an espionage story with strong emotional undercurrents. Praised by numerous critics, the novel quickly received the BBC miniseries treatment, with Peter Egan playing the central role of double agent Magnus Pym. Subsequent le Carré books The Russia House (1989) and The Tailor of Panama (1996) both led to well-received Hollywood adaptations and provided interesting overlaps with the Bond series, due to the presence of their respective stars, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan.
Around the same time that "The Tailor of Panama" (2001) hit the screens, le Carré unveiled The Constant Gardener (2001), a novel that followed a mild-mannered English diplomat desperate to solve the murder of his wife, a headstrong activist abroad in Kenya. Four years later, the book became an award-winning thriller starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her emotive role. Meanwhile, still operating at the peak of his powers with tense novels such as A Most Wanted Man (2008) and Our Kind of Traitor (2010), le Carré, who was never big on media attention to begin with, announced in 2010 that he was done with television interviews, preferring to spend his time and effort on writing, a reasonable declaration given that the prolific author was pushing 80 at the time. The next year, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was revisited in feature-film form with Gary Oldman portraying Smiley, backed by an impressive ensemble cast that included John Hurt and Colin Firth, as well as young up-and-comers Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. In a stamp of approval, le Carré both executive produced the movie and briefly appeared in a party scene, giving the project a vaguely valedictory mood. However, not one to rest on his considerable laurels, he pressed ahead writing his next spy story, A Delicate Truth (2013), while another le Carré movie thriller, "A Most Wanted Man" (2013), carried on the author's prominent cinematic presence.

Notes |
Le Carré's stories have been made into more than 15 film and TV productions. |
"In all I don't suppose that I spooked around for more than seven or eight years, and that's forty years ago, but that was my little university for the purposes that I needed later to write. I think that if I'd gone to sea at that time I would have written about the sea. If I'd gone into advertising or stockbroking, that would have been my stuff. It was from there that I began abstracting and peopling my other world, my alternative, private world, which became my patch, and it became a Tolkien-like operation, except that none of my characters have hair between their toes." - from The Paris Review, Summer 1997 |
"The world of spying is my genre. My struggle is to demystify, to de-romanticise the spook world, but at the same time harness it as a good story. As someone once said, the definition of genius - not that I'm a genius - is to have two conflicting opinions about any one subject and that's what I do all the time. Some call it ambiguity. I call it lack of resolution." - from The Telegraph, Aug. 31, 2010 |
"I hate the telephone. I can't type. I ply my trade by hand. I live on a Cornish cliff and hate cities. Three days and nights in a city are about my maximum. I don't see many people. I write and walk and swim and drink." - from his official site, johnlecarre.com |

Tylenol with Caffeine Increases the Risk of Liver DamagePosted: Thursday, October 18, 2007A mix of acetaminophen and caffeine may cause liver damage, especially in heavy caffeine drinkers, according to a study at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Although previous studies have linked alcohol consumption and use of acetaminophen to liver damage, this is the first study to link caffeine to the danger. Scientists at the University of Washington found that consuming acetaminophen, one of the main ingredients in many over-the-counter pain-relief medications like Tylenol, and caffeine can eventually scar the tissue in the liver. The study also found a link between liver damage and over-the-counter and prescribed medications that include caffeine and acetaminophen together, like some Anacin and Excedrin products, often used to treat migraines, arthritis and other painful conditions. Consumers may want to limit their intake of caffeine, included in coffee and many popular energy drinks, such as Red Bull, while taking acetaminophen, according to researchers. Researchers have found that caffeine can triple the amount of a toxic byproduct, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), an enzyme produced while breaking down acetaminophen, which is also responsible for liver damage and failure in most toxic alcohol-acetaminophen interactions. Some patients may be more susceptible to the toxic interaction than others, according to Nelson, including patients who take certain anti-epileptic medications, including carbamazepine and Phenobarbital, or those who take the herbal supplement St. John's Wort. These products, often used to boost levels of the enzymes that produce the toxic enzyme NAPQI, may be exaggerated if someone is ingesting acetaminophen and caffeine. Dr. Steven Lidofsky, director of hepatology and director of gastrointestinal research at the University of Vermont Medical Center and the Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington, Vt. said he doesn't know if there's a real link between caffeine and acetaminophen consumption and liver damage since caffeine is often used to slow liver scarring in patients with chronic liver disease. He said the answer may be found in the actual mechanism or initial development of these toxic enzymes and how they affect the liver. "Off the top of my head, it's hard to imagine how caffeine might do it," said Lidofsky. "I have to speculate. Caffeine reduces antioxidants in the liver, somehow affecting levels of CYP2e1, which converts the NAPQI enzyme into a toxin. I'm surprised that caffeine would induce this. In terms of how acetaminophen causes damage and being a toxic metabolite, the things that would promote acetaminophen toxicity are things that inhibit antioxidants in the liver." Researchers at the University of Washington are considering using human volunteers for future studies, including one that will study the mechanism of how the toxic interaction occurs between acetaminophen and caffeine.

a nice advert featuring the very funny Pam Ann, who is the most useless cabin crew staff member ever. I especially like the "For Coffee" part...
Adverts like this make me think of what adverts have really worked in days gone by (and which frankly haven't). BA seem to be getting better at not taking itself so seriously,but i'm interested to see other adverts and so it works in my eyes, but i'll be interested to know what gets people's vote as the best ads gone by. Conversely, it would be great to see some bad ads too!!!
Here's the old BA advert that Saatchi did for them:
It's a bit more traditionalistic i think you'll agree. Flight recently covered Silverjet who cheekily copied this advert.

Group H currently sees England at the top with 16 points, however both Ukraine and Montenegro trail by a point with Ukraine having home advantage on Friday night against fourth-placed Poland.
The former Fiorentina man is not fazed by the challenge of playing at Wembley and is confident that his team can qualify for the World Cup in Brazil for the first time, hoping that England will buckle under the pressure.
"England are the favourites because they have so many good players and they are a huge nation, but in three games we have shown we can compete with them.
"I think they have more pressure than us because they are expected to win - and expect to win. The fact that we have drawn three times with England gives us confidence for this game and the fact we then have Moldova at home."
Despite being underdogs for Friday's match, Jovetic is determined to fulfil his World Cup dream and insists that the group standings won't be decided until the final whistle on Tuesday.
"England have us and then Poland. I think it is going to be a big fight to see which country goes through.
"For us it means everything to get to the finals of the World Cup or European Championship because we are such a small country.
"It is important not just for football reasons but also for the prestige of the country."
Jovetic's strike partner Dejan Damjanovic echoes his team mate's views that they shouldn't be scared of England and believes that the Three Lions aren't a great side.
"England have great players, but I don't think they are a great team. I don't feel like they breathe like one. We are just opposite and maybe that could be our chance."
South Korean based Damjanovic reckons England could be in danger of complacency and that he expects them to underestimate the Montenegrins, insisting that they are relishing visiting England as underdogs.
"They will not admit this, but I am sure that they think 'we are going to beat them without problem, then we beat Poland and go to the World Cup'.
"This is a big game for us. We completely take the role of underdogs because we are far from a full squad.
"But we will not come to Wembley waving a white flag. Miracles can happen - only if you believe."

Nokia (NOK) recently announced that it will be getting rid of its dividend. The company has been paying a dividend for the last 20 years. Nokia reported a profit of $269 million due to cost cutting and an increase in shipments for its Nokia Lumia phones.
While a cut or a loss of a dividend is usually a bad sign, this announcement will actually help the company, and could calm shareholders. Last year, the company paid out nearly a billion dollars in dividends to shareholders.
Nokia will begin to see its cash balance grow and its leverage ratio fall due to savings from distributions. The company had $3.5 billion in cash and long-term debt was more than $5 billion. An additional $1 billion in savings per year will help the company achieve a cash reserve larger than its total debt over the coming years.
Nokia has had a particularly tough time due to lagging sales, and mounting losses have brought concerns over liquidity issues. While the company still has plenty of cash left, continuing losses will keep bringing down its reserve.
While Nokia earned a net income of $200 million last quarter, the company had a net loss of more than $900 million each quarter for the year.
Last year, Raymond James downgraded Nokia over liquidity concerns and its convertible offering. Raymond James became concerned that Nokia will have to continue to dilute shares in order to help cover maturities. With the announcement of a dividend cut, shareholders will not have to worry about dilution.
Nokia is trying to become a more efficient company that can effectively compete with competitors such as Apple (AAPL) and Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) in the smartphone market. I believe the company will cut down on losses and will see marginal profits going forward. With a net profit and lack of a dividend, concerns over liquidity are over. This will allow management to focus on growing sales without having to worry about a time crunch.

AUSTIN—Attorneys general of Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia joined in the U.S. Justice Department's Aug. 13 anti-trust lawsuit intended to block the merger of Fort Worth-headquartered American Airlines and Tempe, Ariz., headquartered US Airways.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, in an Aug. 16 opinion piece first published by the Dallas Morning News, explained why he opposes the merger of the two carriers. Here's an excerpt:
"Why in the world would Texas file a legal action challenging the merger of American Airlines with US Airways?" Abbott asked in his opinion piece. He answered his own question this way: "We believe that actions by the airlines and their officials violate antitrust laws. In fact, the legal violations appear so overt that it would offend my oath of office not to take action.
"The legal action is based on evidence such as internal emails, investor presentations and other comments by top executives of the airlines. Those documents reveal their thinking about how shrinking competition in the airline industry - and, hence the merger - will allow the airlines to pile even more bag fees, ticket change fees and increased fares on customers. American and US Airways compete directly on thousands of heavily traveled routes. The merger would allow the new company to shed that competition and distort the marketplace - while harming competition for nearly 200 Texas routes."
American Airlines, in an Aug. 13 statement, announced plans "to mount a vigorous and strong defense to the U.S. Department of Justice's effort to block their proposed merger."
"We believe that the Department of Justice is wrong in its assessment of our merger. Integrating the complementary networks of American and US Airways to benefit passengers is the motivation for bringing these airlines together. Blocking this pro-competitive merger will deny customers access to a broader airline network that gives them more choices," American Airlines stated.
Combs files lizard motion
Comptroller Susan Combs last week announced she filed a motion to intervene in an endangered species lawsuit brought by environmental groups against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The lawsuit by Defenders of Wildlife and the Center for Biological Diversity asks Fish & Wildlife to reconsider its June 2012 decision not to list the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species.
In an Aug. 16 agency news release, Combs said the lawsuit "could have damaging effects on private property owners, oil and gas producers and agriculture producers, as well as the broader state economy" and that her motion, if accepted, would "ensure that no ruling is made without input from those who would be directly affected by a dunes sagebrush lizard listing under the Endangered Species Act."
The lizard's range includes parts of the Permian Basin, a region that accounts for 57 percent of Texas' total crude oil production and supports 47,000 oil and gas-related jobs, according to the Texas Railroad Commission.
Fish & Wildlife, in a June 13 statement, said, "After a careful analysis of the scientific data and the protections provided by the voluntary conservation efforts, Service biologists determined the lizard is no longer in danger of extinction, nor likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future."
Feral hog grants awarded
Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples on Aug. 15 announced the award of two feral hog abatement grants totaling $55,000 to certain Texas counties in an effort to enhance statewide feral hog abatement.
Bell County, in partnership with Coryell, Falls, Hamilton and Milam counties, was awarded $25,000 to support abatement efforts and $30,000 was awarded to a partnership between Caldwell and Hays counties, the agriculture department reported.
"The feral hog population has exploded in the last 20 years, costing Texans untold millions of dollars," Staples said. According to the agency, Texas is home to the largest feral hog population in the United States with nearly 2.6 million of the wild pigs. These voracious, intelligent, wide-ranging mammals cause about $500 million in damage in rural and urban Texas each year, the agency estimated.
New laws to take effect
Some 659 pieces of legislation passed in the 140-day regular session of the 83rd Texas Legislature, Jan. 8 through May 27, 2013, will take effect as new laws in a few days, on Sept. 1.

Maritime Law - Perils Faced by Seamen
Tuesday, 27 December 2011 | 11:00
Working on offshore oil rigs, commercial vessels and shipping ports can be grueling and thankless work. Seamen consistently work long hours and often in dangerous conditions. Despite the inherent dangers seamen face, employers still have a responsibility to maintain safe working environments, properly train workers, and maintain seaworthy vessels.
If an employer fails to do these things, an employee suffers an injury due to such negligence, he or she can seek compensation under the Jones Act, a law passed by Congress to protect injured crewmembers and maritime workers injured in the course of their employment. The Act is an extension of the Federal Employees Liability Act, a law that protects injured railroad workers.
Congress recognized that seamen could be injured at sea, and on land (in harbors and ports). Because of this, a crewmember's Jones Act rights are conditioned by the contractual agreement of employment for serving aboard a vessel, not where the injury occurred. This means the worker's rights continue while onshore so long as the employee is acting within the course of employment. Therefore, if a crewmember is injured on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico or securing mooring cables while in Houston's Ship Harbor, he or she is covered by the Jones Act.
The Act eliminates many defenses commonly asserted by employers, including assumption of risk and contributory negligence. Injured workers can seek damages for loss of wage earning capacity, past and future medical expenses, as well as physical and mental disability.
If you have been injured and have questions about your rights and options under the Jones Act, an experienced attorney can advise you.

Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever (Hardcover) $3 (reg. $28)
Last edited by anastaciab; 12-07-2012 at 09:04 AM..
Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly $2.99 book deal of the day on Amazon.com
The regular price is $15.39, this is the daily deal for their Christmas promotion.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...1438485942 Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever by Bill O'Reilly A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased. In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth—charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist—murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions—including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller. Last edited by wannawin4; 12-07-2012 at 09:05 AM.. |
Bill O'Reilly, historian. Or rather, is this a historical novel? I can't tell.
Err ... OK. Sure this will appeal to some, but I'll pass. p.s. for those who have a serious interest in carefully researched and considered history of Lincoln, I recommend Donald's Lincoln [amazon.com]. It's been many years since I read it so my memory is a little hazy, but it is universally acclaimed, and the man is a REAL hisotrian & writer, and a multiple Pulitzer winner. As well as the more recent Doris Kearns Goodwin "Team of Rivals," of course Last edited by puddnhead; 12-07-2012 at 09:17 AM.. |

Oops, I just expressed myself at how dumb this is, was that libel or am I really allowed to write/think/say what I want if I believe it to be true?
I also didn't realize UK law applied to US based actions but hey, talk about an uphill legal battle that if successful becomes an assault on free speech.
Hmmm, it looks like Google has several thousand requests for personal information heading your way Brett, this forum has libeled them many times with such words...
This news does one thing however, it reinforces the notion that you should NEVER use your real information online, EVER, because you just never know who's going to go after it.

Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD reviewed, and why Panasonic is rated higher
For quite some time, the battle for CNET's "Best HDTV Overall" has essentially been between Pioneer's and Panasonic's plasmas. Plasma technology may be losing market share every year, but it's still the clear winner when it comes to image quality, thanks to deep, rich blacks that LCDs still can't match. And the conventional wisdom lately has basically been that Pioneer is the best bet for flat-panel videophiles, due to its industry-best black levels (excluding Sony's little OLED set.)
