Review this carBy Susan on Saturday, February 22, 2014
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 142,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "Very fair price, fun to drive, extremely reliable"
Cons: "A bit sluggish under 40, but over 40 watch out!"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Yes, nearing 150,000 miles and still going strong! I won't write much because unfortunately they don't make this car anymore. No major problems at all, the headlights burn out once in a while. Seriously, that's about it. Of course, I take excellent care of it and I've done all of the preventive maintenance religiously. I'm very impressed with this car. Wish the American auto makers could come close. It's sad that I had to buy a car that was 95% made in Japan to finally get the kind of quality I wanted. Safety has to be number one for me."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 138,000
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "well made, steering, interior"
Cons: "stiff ride, kind of slow"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"I like this car a lot. I would prefer a manual transmission, but my wife says automatic only. The engine is powerfull enough but has little torque. I do get about 28 mpg average using 87 octane gas commuting to work. If I shift it and drive sporty the mpg drops to about 20 mpg. It has great steering. The brakes are very good but do fade. The seats are almost perfect. I owned it two or three years now. The only things that broke so far are the stereo head unit and the driver door lock actuator. Beware of a stiff ride. If I ever need new struts I will look for the softest ones I can find."

"I bought this vehicle with 36,000 miles on it to use as a commuter car for work. I travel 70 miles each way almost all high speed highway. Bought it for reliability and economy, got both. As a bonus, I found it to be exciting and fun to drive, great handling and plenty of power. I had a 2003 Honda S2000. This car was close to that in performance, but a lot less expensive. Wish they still made them."

"Just about to hit 150,000 miles and it still looks new and rides great. I take it to the dealer every 5,000 miles for a check-up and oil change. Acura says I should be able to get 300,000 miles out of it since I take such good care of it."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 115,000
overall rating 7 of 10rating detailsPros: "silky transmission, versatile engine, reliable"
Cons: "not a lot of torque, not a lot of frills"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"Reliability: this car has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. The only unexpected issues came in the form of a new clutch and a set of power window regulators (a common rsx problem). Regular maintenance is key. Has never left me stranded or not started as long as I've had it. Quality: Quality is slightly above average for the year/type of car it is. Yes, there are 1 or 2 rattles, but everything fits together nicely inside and out. I have yet to drive a manual transmission that feels as smooth, with the exception an S2000. No rust issues, very few rattles, and a relatively smooth ride over most road surfaces. Driving dynamics: without question this is a fun car to drive. Acceleration isn't the best from a stop, but from a roll this car will surprise most vehicles on the road. light and accurate steering allows the driver to place the nose precisely where it needs to go. Buttery gearbox and light clutch effort making shifting too easy. Yes it will understeer (read FWD) if pushed too hard through tight corners. Brakes are decent; nothing to brag or complain about. Design (exterior): to each their own. Design (interior): "Driver oriented". Everything that can be controlled is easily within the driver's reach. Knobs and dials are clearly labeled and easily read during the day or night. Being a hatchback with 50/50 split rear seats allows all kinds of cargo to fit without much fuss. Comfort & Convenience: the front seats are comfortable and supportive enough for spirited driving. Backseats are best left to children or adults under 5'9". There is no nav, iPod, USB, or much else besides an AM/FM radio, cassette player, and 6 Disc CD changer. Sound system itself is a little on the weak side, but that just means you can hear that K20 engine that much better!"

By Sassy on Wednesday, September 11, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 180,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "FUN to drive, great handling and high end power"
Cons: "front wheel drive, back seat only for short people"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I absolutely love this car! It's so much fun to drive! So much fun! I can't emphasize how great this is to have in my life. A car that does not suck your life force from your soul and leaves you with a smile? Awesome! Great handling, great high end power, great brakes! PLUS, it's reliability has been amazing, even as the miles have racked up, no (knock on wood) issues! OK, the headlights burn out really fast, but I think that is a part issue, not a vehicle issue ;). The only thing I wish was different was that it would have rear-wheel drive for a little more added fun, but front wheel drive has it's advantages, so it's a minor complaint. I had an 88 RX-7 GTU for several years that was a freaking blast too. This car is on the same level of fun, but just tighter overall. I am short, so it fits me great, tall people should avoid the back seat for sure (no head room), and getting out of the back seat is like being birthed. I will generally let my husband drive and sit in the back of we have someone riding with us."

Many of us, while teaching an introductory statistics course, have mentioned some of the history behind the methodology, perhaps just in passing. We might remark that an English chap by the name of R. A. Fisher is responsible for a great deal of the course content. We could further point out that the statistical techniques used in research today were developed within the last century, for the most part. At most, we might reveal the identity of the mysterious "Student" when introducing the t-test to our class. I propose that we do more of this. This webinar will highlight some opportunities to give brief history lessons while teaching an introductory statistics course.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! by Kenny Fairris
Watching A Charlie Brown Christmas has become a yearly tradition for generations of viewers. We'll explore the history of this program, consider why it communicates so well, and hear about some of the spiritual and artistic influence it has had.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown! by Kaye Ballard & Arthur Siegel
Several tracks from the 1962 Columbia Records' "Good Grief, Charlie Brown!" -- an album based entirely on early strips written by Schulz. This recording marked the first time ever that the Peanuts characters were "brought to life." It was conceived by Kaye Ballard (as Lucy) with longtime creative partner Arthur Siegel (as Charlie) and produced by the legendary John Hammond. The "music" was created by Fred Karlin. Karlin, an Oscar winner, put together a very odd orchestra of childrens' musical instruments, household objects, and real toys, a concept much imitated afterward.

Best Pitcher Drink Recipes 8 Pitcher-Perfect Cocktails by Emily Bibb 8/31/13 15 Reactions 89 Shares Print 65 4 10 3 7 Cocktails taste better when they're enjoyed with good company, but rather than craft a bunch of different beverages, make pitcher drinks like sangria and punch. All you have to do is make a large batch, and everyone gets a glass faster. Hooray! Here are a few of our favorites, just in time for that pool party, BBQ, or whatever else you have planned for the holiday weekend. Jalapeño Margarita What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Not for the faint of heart, this margarita recipe has the addition of jalapeño, which adds a spicy kick to the classic tequila drink. 1 / 8 Redhead in Bed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Strawberries are the star ingredient in this refreshing libation. The festive color and large batch (it serves 10) make it perfect for a party. 2 / 8 Red Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This red sangria is easy to make in advance and calls for ingredients you likely already have on hand; it also accommodates anywhere from one to 100! 3 / 8 Strawberry Margaritas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You'd be surprised at how sweet the fresh strawberries make this margarita recipe. It's a potent crowd-pleaser, sure to get the conversation flowing. 4 / 8 Salty Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ultrasimple (it only requires grapefruit juice, vodka, and salt!) and mouthwatering, a salty dog is a concoction that might quickly become your go-to party drink. 6 / 8 Classic Mai Tai What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This classic mai tai recipe packs a tropical punch and can be easily adjusted to serve a large group; a solid choice for toasting to a celebration! 6 / 8 Easy White Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sangria isn't just for red wines! Just like its red counterpart, this recipe takes advantage of robust orange and apple flavors and capitalizes on fleshy Summer fruits, like peaches and mangoes. 7 / 8 Classic Mojito What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The ingredients in a classic mojito are easy to come by: rum, sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and mint. The result is absolutely sublime and can easily be added to a big pitcher! 8 / 8 65 4 10 3 7 Back to Homepage Read More Party PlanningHappy HourRecipesDrinksCocktails party planning Lose Yourself in a Soothing Thyme-After-Thyme Gin Cocktail 5 days ago 9 Southern Cocktails That Capture the Mardi Gras Spirit 1 week ago An Oscars Acceptance Peach to Remember 1 week ago 5 Tablescapes Inspired by Our Favorite Oscars Gowns! 1 week ago 8 Bite-Size Nibbles to Serve at Your Oscars Viewing Party 1 week ago Essential Tips For Hosting a Sweet Oscars Viewing Party 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

NEW Updatede Suggestion.After Reading all the comments I have been thinking. and come up with something like the Pvp on/off
addional Bonus Roll = NO option
Get Coin back = NO option
Therefor the suggestion was bad but alot like the idea of getting more gold or OS gear aswell.
so the UPDATEDE Suggestion is as Followed Below
Click your Char image and find Pvp. it can be togglet On and Off
what about a mekanic there work the same way with coins?
Click your Char Image and find Elder Cham of good Fortune
RNG System ON/OFF
MS System ON/OFF
"if MS is ON, RNG is OFF" and the otherway around.
if RNG System is ON it means you can get OS gear and new gold valvue 28,5g to 1000g max "Random" however Leather user wont get mail/plate etc.
if MS System is ON it means you can get MS gear the spec you are playing when boss dies and if unlucky 28.5g
This way it will be up to for each player to deside if they want to use gold coins on RNG or MS maby get more gold or better MS gear or just OS gear.
at some point we will hit the mark som of us with fuld BIS gear and 10 gold coins. what to use em for then? OS :D or maby 28,5 to 1000g :)
Comment the new update suggestion please :) it is better for all classes and non get coins back or 2ed Bonus roll.
However there should be a warning when entering and raid "RNG is ON" or if other "MS is ON" just so you dont start complaning about a OS loot when you are 100% sure it was MS. the Warning was when you enter raid.! and find out that you forgot to set it to MS agian after it was RNG on Last boss. etc.
Original Suggestion! Below
This is a Suggestion.. for Gold Coin's.
Im getting tired of the way gold coin's works.. getting the same item 4 times on 1 boss.. with gold coin's
The way it is now.
Boss Died.
you roll with Gold coin and Win an Item.
The way I suggest its should be chance to is as followed:
Week 1
Boss Died. you roll with Gold Coin and Win an Item. on First boss on in Toes
Week 2
Boss Died. you roll with Gold Coin and Win same Item. as last week on First boss in Toes
What happens now is a Error Box pops op says that you allready Won that item in this Difficulty with Gold Coin's
You get 2 choises.
Get your Gold coin Back.
a new Bonus Roll.
The "2ed Bonus Roll" can give Gear for any Spec not just MS. so you might get Boomking/Resto Gear as a Gurdian.
How ever it can also just give Gold.
The 2ed Option with getting gold coin/Bonus once agian can only happen if you Win an Item that you allready have won once with gold coin's. If you win the 28,50g its just bad luck. :) that remains the same.
there will be 3 differet systems so that you wont get "Gold coin Locked" on a boss From LFR.
System 1 LFR.
System 2 Normal.
System 3 HC.
Please review and tell me your view´s on this suggestion :)
Kindly Regards Xecetoz
Officer TDS.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Earla Taylor
"Creamy corn is a wonderful foil for that Thanksgiving day turkey."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 pounds whole corn kernels, cooked
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
I have this EXACT recipe, EXCEPT my recipe calls for adding Ro-tel to the corn & cream cheese, Try this not bland & oooo so GOOD!
I altered the recipe to serve one person (myself) as a late night snack. I used low-fat cream cheese, but found that it didn't melt very well. So I heated up the corn in the microwave for about 30 seconds, the cream cheese broke up quickly, and it took about half the time to make. I eventually added many of my own seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika) as I found it to be much to bland. Although, I found the cream cheese to corn ratio to be a bit too creamy, this was an okay dish after all. I would suggest tasting it as the dish cooks, and adding your own seasoning as needed. Also, if you are cooking small quantities, cook on low heat, otherwise it will overcook and/or burn.

This was a big hit for Christmas dinner and one of the more popular leftovers. Since it was the holidays, (and we had already blown the diets soooo badly already) I added a few slices of cooked/crumbled bacon and just a touch of bacon grease. I also baked it in the oven to heat it after preparing it the day before - - -wonderful!
I knew ahead of time that this recipe would be too bland for my taste buds, so I added a little chopped garlic and a little more chopped jalapeno for an extra kick. It was even better reheated the next day after the jalapeno had had time to really sink in.
yum! I made half a recipe. I used frozen corn and a can of green chiles, threw it all in a pot on low until warm. I will make this again.
Yummy! I used a tub of cream cheese with chives (instead of plain). Very good - will definitely make again!
My variation of this recipe calls for 1 can of chopped green chilies, garlic salt to taste, and I use 1/2 white corn and 1/2 yellow corn; it comes out colorful and pretty. I cook it in the crock pot - the longer it cooks the better it is. I have friends who won't let me through the door without this dish!!!
While this was a yummy dish, it was too bland for eating in hearty quantities. I will. Try it again with the tips of other reviewers - maybe garlic, salt, paprika, pepper, and a lower cream cheese-to-corn ratio.

CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N.Y. — The Brocton and Westfield school districts continued consolidation discussions Monday evening, offering the public another opportunity to weigh in.
Consultants hired by the districts say both schools are projected to be in financial trouble within five years. They cited rising pension and benefit costs along with declining enrollment as the main factors.
Westfield and Brocton have already merged a number of activities and sports in order to save money.
"You know that our own fiscal cliff is coming for many districts across New York State, and its a matter of being proactive and finding solutions that allow you to maintain the course offerings and everything you have and still being responsible to the taxpayers," said David Davison, Westfield Academy superintendent.
A straw vote on the merger is tentatively scheduled in June.

I think its not a good news for spurs and other fourth place hopefulls either :) they can understand , liverpool will now concentrate on the PL and that will make harder for them to slot in .
Let it be known that Liverpool will now be bought by the Saudis next summer. The fact that they are out of the Champions league now and will need a miracle to make the Champions League next year and if we're being real here...its pretty much a lock that they won't be top 4 this year. The revamp is going to happen. The Saudis will pay off the debt and then some. Expect to see Rafa stay and a whole bundle of new talent signed too. Gillette cannot afford to keep a team that will not make money. The Saudis have money oozing out of the ground and Liverpool will be top 4 again soon.
Ksaki, its only arsenal that dont rely much on money , the other two man united and chelsea are performing with money so why do crictize liverpool blaming luck of money.

It's hard to argue that Windows Vista hasn't been a disappointment for Microsoft. And it hopes the next version, Windows 7, will reverse its fortunes.
Despite the fact that early reviews of Windows 7 provide reasons for hope, the success of it is far from certain. One of the biggest unknowns: whether or not Microsoft's new Windows Anytime Upgrade will sink or swim.

Brattleboro Food Co-op celebrates openingLen Emery Photo
Customers browse products at the new Brattleboro Food Co-op in the meat and deli section of the Main Street store.BRATTLEBORO — Some people quit the Brattleboro Food Co-op back when it switched from wooden to metal shelving.
In its early days, members debated whether to sell sugar, or white flour or even meat.
Earlier moves have been condemned as "too big, too corporate, too clean," said Brattleboro Food Co-op Board president John Hatton.
Hatton said Saturday that while some of the changes at the new $9 million store were hard for some people to accept, the new building, which was 10 years in the making, would keep pace with growth and increased demand, as well as saving money for its members down the road.
The store is a virtual pleasure palace of organic and natural food: a cornucopia of organic Vermont fruits and vegetables, delectable cheeses, many of them made in Vermont, natural and organic meat, and an expanded deli and take-home food section, as well as the co-op's signature bulk foods and herbs section.
Saturday marked the grand opening celebration of the new co-op, which is paired with 24 units of mixed income housing built in the two floors on top of the co-op and its offices, in a partnership with the Windham Windsor Housing Trust.
The collaborative development at the corner of Main and Canal streets was hailed as a combination of historic preservation because it restored the original streetscape of Main Street and greener-than-green new construction with multiple uses, with the added attraction of state-of-the-art energy innovations. The new store has 40 percent more space.
On Saturday there was both a squash pie and apple pie contest, free samples of everything from rustic bread and Cabot cheese to gluten-free shampoo and slices of heirloom apples.
The co-op actually moved into the new building in June, and it is almost finished, but landscaping and its new parking lot are still being completed.
The old, strip-mall-style building in the back of the lot along the Whetstone Brook has since been torn down and is being turned into a parking lot, with the new building taking up much of the old parking lot.
The co-op has endured tragedy during the construction of the new building, when its manager was shot to death in 2011 by a disgruntled employee. And it is also undergoing some growing pains, as employees have petitioned to join a union, the United Food and Commercial Workers, and a vote is set for Wednesday.
Alex Gyori, who has been the general manager of the co-op for 30 years, drew laughs Saturday afternoon when he promised the construction at the building would soon be over.
"Someday soon, we will finish the project," Gyori said when it was his turn behind the microphone. "Someday folks, this will all be done."
The co-op started small. Its first day of business was Feb. 20, 1975 in the basement of a building on High Street. It started as a pre-order buying club, and quickly caught on. It moved to the Rollerdome on Putney Road, and then in 1979 it opened its first retail store on Flat Street, on the back side of Emerson Furniture, Hatton recalled.
It moved to the Brookside Plaza in 1988, and eventually bought the plaza in 2003, expanding and expanding, eventually taking over the entire shopping plaza.
In 1987, sales were $1 million, Hatton said, and this year sales hit $17 million.
Two people that signed the original articles of confederation, Lynn Levine and her husband Cliff Adler of Dummerston, were pleased with the new store. Both had served on the co-op's board of directors.
"I'm proud of it," said Levine, a consulting forester, who said despite a persistent misconception, the co-op's prices were equal to traditional markets.
Adler, who was the co-op's unpaid accountant in the early years, said the co-op was committed to "keeping our margins consistent" and keeping prices affordable.

'LET not the people—I mean the masses—think lightly of those great principles upon which their strength wholly rests. The privileged and usurping few may advocate expediency in lieu of principles, but depend upon it we, reformers, must cling to first principles, and be prepared to carry them out, fearless of consequences.... I yield to no man in the world (be he ever so stout an advocate of the Ten Hours Bill) in a hearty good-will towards the great body of the working classes; but my sympathy is not of that morbid kind which would lead me to despond over their future prospects. Nor do I partake of that spurious humanity which would indulge in an unreasoning kind of philanthropy at the expense of the independence of the great bulk of the community. Mine is that masculine species of charity which would lead me to inculcate in the minds of the labouring classes the love of independence, the privilege of self-respect, the disdain of being patronised or petted, the desire to accumulate, and the ambition to rise. I know it has been found easier to please the people by holding out flattering and delusive prospects of cheap benefits to be derived from Parliament rather than by urging them to a course of self-reliance; but, while I will not be the sycophant of the great, I cannot become the parasite of the poor; and I have sufficient confidence in the growing intelligence of the working classes to be induced to believe that they will now be found to contain a great proportion of minds, sufficiently enlightened by experience to concur with me in the opinion that it is to themselves alone individually that they, as well as every other great section of the community, must trust for working out their own regeneration and happiness. Again I say to them Look not to Parliament, look only to yourselves.'—From a Letter of Richard Cobden, dated October 21,1836. [Back to Table of Contents]PREFACE.THE articles contained in this volume have been written by the various authors independently. For the title, the preface, and for such general argument as is to be found in the book as a whole, no responsibility necessarily attaches to the writers, who are answerable each for his own contribution and for that only. The title suggests that the principle of Free Exchange is capable of inspiring a constructive policy, in which freedom is limited only by a mutual respect for the freedom of all, that is, by the reciprocal responsibility inherent in every voluntary act of Exchange: the articles have been arranged, as far as possible, according to the natural sequence of thought; and for this attempt to give an appearance of unity of design the Editor is alone responsible. The first paper, from the pen of Mr. H. D. Mac Leod, gives an historical sketch of the course of economic speculation with regard to the doctrine and policy of Free Exchange. He traces the rise of freedom of internal and international trade from the teaching of the French Economists and Adam Smith, and points out how the misconceptions of Ricardo and his followers on the subject of value have led mankind astray, and confused in the most mischievous manner all our ideas on the economic mechanism of society. Free Trade, he argues, is the first great benefit which just economic reasoning has conferred on this country. The task before this and the next generation must be the clear establishment of the truth that a largely increased production of wealth and its equitable distribution among all classes of the population can be attained only by developing the facility and the multiplicity of exchange—in other words, by Free Exchange; and, further, that this rule is applicable to all forms of value, whether they be labour or credits or material commodities. Mr. Maitland draws attention to a problem of the immediate future. The adoption of Free Trade by America will produce, without doubt, great industrial changes. If we are to retain our markets, in face of the decreased cost of production which this policy will permit in America, we must cast off from us all unnecessary burdens and all unnecessary restrictions. Mr. Maitland's argument is designed to show that our political leaders are very little alive to the reality of this danger. Changes such as he forecasts can only be met by permitting the principle of Free Exchange to be the distributor both of capital and labour. It is one of the evil consequences of Protection that, even when men become persuaded of its injustice and folly, they cannot return to Free Trade without causing considerable economic disturbance. We are about to encounter an industrial crisis arising from this cause; and it is Mr. Maitland's argument that such redistribution of the industrial markets, as is inevitable, will come on us more gradually and with less suffering, if we accept the principle of Free Exchange in every relation of life. Thus encountered, the process of change need have for us no terror, for it must ultimately lead to an ever-increasing satisfaction of human wants at an ever-decreasing expenditure of human exertion. Mr. Strachey gives an account of the Ateliers Nationaux of Paris in 1848. The attempt was there made to give labour a right to force the community to purchase it for wages. This violation of the principle of Free Exchange rapidly—in three months' time—produced anarchy and revolution. Mr. Fortescue's paper deals with a somewhat similar attempt in our own Colonies to carry on civilization by that vast system of public works which is most briefly described under the term State Socialism. Another aspect of the same problem is treated by Mr. Hooper from the purely financial point of view. The pledging of the credit of taxpayers for government borrowing and government trading is a contravention, possibly in many cases a necessary contravention, of the principle of Free Exchange. Mr. Hooper shows how treacherous a basis for the expansion of industry this method affords, and how readily it lends itself to the creation of disastrous financial complications. Mr. Acworth deals with the vexed question of State-interference in railway management. He shows what a limited amount of truth there is in the allegation that a railway is a monopoly. On the important question of tariff legislation, subject to the necessity of State-interference legislative, judicial, and executive for the purpose of preventing undue preferences and unreasonable discriminations, he is disposed to leave the public and the railways to deal with each other on the principle of Free Exchange. In most other respects he suggests that more advantage will be gained by an enforcement of publicity than from any other form of regulation. Just as in the great Free Trade controversy, the maxim was laid down that a hostile tariff is best combatted by a more thorough free trade, so Mr. Acworth argues that the difficulties arising out of an alleged monopoly, like a railway, are best overcome, not by turning it into a real monopoly in the hands of a government department, but by subjecting it as far as possible to the health-giving influence of publicity and Free Exchange. Mr. Mackay's paper deals with the principle of Free Exchange in its relation to the property of the working classes in their own labour and in their own savings. The argument seeks to justify the opinion that Free Exchange is capable of becoming to labour what a right of free mintage is to bullion, viz. a certain guarantee of employment and wages; further that, in the vast series of exchanges which constitute the economic mechanism of a free community, the value of labour must unceasingly tend to enhancement. It is, therefore, to the organizing influence of Free Exchange that labour has to look for the realization of its legitimate ambition. Here the controversial portion of the volume may be said to end. The two papers which follow, though not, strictly speaking, covered by the title, have a relevance which is sufficiently obvious. Mr. Mallet's paper is a theoretical discussion of one aspect of the interesting problem of taxation. The principle of progression or graduation has been already, as he points out, either avowedly or unconsciously adopted in the financial system of most civilized countries, and its extension is to be looked for in the future. Unless the theory be deliberately adopted that taxation is to be used as a lever for redressing the inequalities of fortune between the different classes of a community, there is, he thinks, much exaggeration both in the fears and in the hopes which this proposal evokes. In the distinction, as stated by Jevons, between value and utilities, he finds a defence of a progressive as opposed to a merely proportional rate of taxation; but he shows that at a point, which can only be discovered by actual experiment, the abstraction by the State of the surplus wealth of individuals may become not merely a deduction from the wealth of a country, but a positive bar to its further growth; further, that taxation is just and politic when it aims at equalizing the sacrifice imposed on individuals, but that it is the reverse when it seeks to equalize incomes. Mr. Lyttelton, in explaining the state of the law with regard to trade combinations, has adhered strictly to the legal aspect of the question. If there is any force in the argument contained elsewhere in the book that, as regards labour as well as all other forms of wealth, Free Exchange, and not coercive combination, should be our rule of guidance, it is obvious that an estimate of the intricacies of the law of trade combinations is an interesting and pertinent addition to the controversy, even though, as in this case, the writer confines himself to a statement of fact, and takes no responsibility for the general argument in which his narrative may serve as an illustration.

Geekologie Reader Snaps Shot Of Moon Dog
I'm not going to lie to you (although I usually do), I had no idea what a moon dog was when Geekologie Reader em_kay11 sent me this picture (high-res version HERE) of one he took early Wednesday morning. Per Wikipedia:
A moon dog or moondog (scientific name paraselene, plural paraselenae, i.e. "beside the moon") is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight by hexagonal-plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Moondogs appear to the left and right of the moon 22° or more distant. They are exactly analogous to sun dogs, but are rarer because to be produced the moon must be bright and therefore full or nearly full. Moondogs show little color to the unaided eye because their light is not bright enough to activate the color photoreceptors in humans.
Cool, a moondog! Can we keep it, daddy? Can we pleaaaase? I'll feed it and walk it every day. And if it ever moon-cheeses on the carpet I promise I'll clean it up and spray the area real good with pet odor-neutralizer and everything. No? Well how about a reptile? I like turtles.
Thanks em_kay11, now how about a mooncat?

PS3 Super Slim
For all-around home entertainment, there's no better value than the PS3 Super Slim. More compact than ever, with the same unbeatable combination of Blu-ray playback, streaming video, and high-def gaming. And with regular firmware updates that add more features, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
The good: The Super Slim PlayStation 3 shrinks a powerful gaming machine into an even tinier package while maintaining the same features as its predecessors: a great gaming library and a strong array of streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, and NFL Sunday Ticket.
The bad: It seems Sony isn't yet able to bring down the price of the PS3, even though some cost-cutting design choices have been made. The Super Slim PS3's odd sliding disc tray and glossy plastic encasing make it appear cheap. Also, a few annoyances like not including HD cables and the lack of an infrared IR port should have been resolved by now.
The bottom line: The latest PS3 slims down to its smallest size ever while retaining everything we like -- and a few things we don't -- about the PlayStation 3 gaming console.

text: RISD's Master of Industrial Design program explores design as a vehicle for addressing social, cultural, environmental and other concerns. Students focus on a series of studio projects – along with seminars on relevant contemporary issues – that enhance and expand industrial design methodologies through both direct practice and group discussions.Graduate students are expected to demonstrate high levels of independence, motivation and competence in developing their thesis work. Completed during the second year of study, this work typically ranges from designing products for the consumer, medical, furniture or alternative energy fields to humanitarian design projects. Working with the guidance of a faculty advisor and thesis committee, students present their final work visually, verbally and in writing.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Karin Christian
"This is just like a pecan pie, using oatmeal instead of pecans. During baking, the oatmeal forms a chewy, 'nutty', crust on top."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1/3 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup quick cooking oats
Great recipe quick and tasty. Will recommend to friends
This was good....I still prefer pecan! :) But, I just had to try it for fun. I did cut down on the sugar and was still plenty sweet. Used the dark corn syrup and it seemed to have given it a nice flavor. Thanks for a good recipe, Karin C.!

This was really good. I wouldn't say it was just like a pecan pie but it is very close. I had to sub brown sugar for the white since I was out. Also added 2 t of vanilla. Oh and I used Old Fashioned oats since that is what I always buy. This was really quick to put together. Thanks for the recipe.
I couldn't find corn syrup anywhere(it's not common over here) so I used a cup of honey and some aditional sugar(dissolved in a bit of water) as substitutes. Since honey browns faster I cooked it for less than 30 minutes(otherwise the upper part would burn), and it turned out great. Very moisty inside, but I love it that way. Thanks for sharing.
This was the first time I have ever eaten or baked an oatmeal pie, but my husband loves them so I decided to give it a shot for Thanksgiving. It turned out very well and was super easy to make. Some people really liked it, some hated it. It does taste similar to pecan pie, and I thought it was good served with whipped cream.
Excellent and EASY!!! I added some spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg) and baked at 375 for 40 - 45 minutes. Came out perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.
Amazing! I made this on a whim to use up some corn syrup and when I put it on the desert table - i noticed 1 piece missing. When I turned around again, it was gone. I do use a little cinnamin and nutmeg, but otherwise it's a perfect recipe - one I have never messed up!
This recipe is what I was looking for. I live close to Amish country and it is just like they make it. The only thing is I added a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp of vanilla.

A musical note
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes on Aug 14, 2013
But I love music, really, despite the treble it can be. I'm a pianist and also play the viola, an instrument referred to in the musical world as kindling. I could write an infinitely long Liszt of reasons I love music, but I'll get Bach to the funny part instead.
This illustration is rather clef-er I think.

How Do I retain 3D when Ripping Blu Ray
As the title says. I can rip any Blu-Ray disk, but can't seem to retain the 3D aspect of the disks. MKV works well, but If I burn a disk it's 2D only.
Anybody found a way to do this?

As yet, it's REALLY fiddly, and I haven't really found a proper solution. I can run the Blu-Ray disk through MKV and then through HB if a preset is required, but in MKV you can merge the output files ( usually get around 10 on a 3D 2 hour movie) But you have to merge them all...even 1 second files are important from what I've found...It's all about overlays and It's pretty new so things should improve. Take a look at this thread for a workflow idea:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=805573 I'm still experimenting, but as the thread got no replies I kind of figure everybody is in the same boat. To be honest the 3D aspect of it is not that big a deal...I have the originals and only really need to rip them for use on my ATV's and iPad.....It's just interesting to see what can be done..I'm not planning on burning many copies or anything....I did do a couple and they came out fine...But in 2D!

Film Screening of Mo and Me: The Life and Work of Mohamed Amin
Dynamic, energetic, brilliant, photojournalist Mo Amin covered it all - from fear and famine to fame and fortune, from war to wildlife wonders. Salim Amin will introduce the film about his father and the Kenya Consul General, M. Nyambura Kamau, will also be a special guest.
Thursday, March 16, 2006
Lenart Auditorium
UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History
Enter Sunset Blvd. & Westwood
Los Angeles, CA 90095
- Reception -- 6 PM
- Film -- 7 PM
No one captured Africa's pain and passion more incisively than Mohamed Amin, photographer and frontline cameraman extraordinaire. He was the most famous photojournalist in the world, making the news as often as he covered it. 'Mo' trained his unwavering lens on every aspect of African life, never shying from the tragedy, never failing to revel in the success. Through the gaze of his camera lens, he showed the world what some were afraid to see and what most people wished they could ignore.
His coverage of the 1984 Ethiopian famine proved so compelling that it inspired a collective global conscience and the greatest act of giving in the 20th century. He and his work served as both the inspiration and as a catalyst for We Are The World/USA for Africa; Live Aid; Heal the World and Live 8. His reporting shamed the world into action and undoubtedly rescued a country from absolute destruction by famine.
In a career spanning more that 30 years, 'Mo' was our eyes on the frontline in every situation and his honest unwavering approach to photojournalism earned him the unconditional respect of both friends and enemies alike. Mo covered every major event in Africa and beyond, braving 29 days of torture, surviving bombs and bullets, even the loss of his left arm in an ammunition dump explosion, to emerge as the most decorated news cameraman of all time.
Mo's remarkable life was cut tragically short in November 1996 when hijackers took over an Ethiopian airliner forcing it to crash land in the Indian Ocean killing 123 passengers and crew. Mo died on his feet as he attempted to negotiate and reason with the terrorists.
By any standards, Mo's life was truly extraordinary; action-packed, full of pain and passion and inseparable from the troubled chronicle of emergent Africa.

It's never good to get a call from a collection agency, but it is especially irritating if you are the victim of identity fraud. For Kenneth Huggins, the first sign of a problem came when he received a call from a debt collector demanding delinquent credit card payments for a credit card he never owned. After calls from other collectors, Huggins discovered an identity thief had fraudulently used his name and social security number to apply for credit cards. To make matters worse, the banks issued credit cards without verifying the identity used by the culprit. When the banks were unable to get payments from the imposter Kenneth Huggins, debts were assigned to collection agencies, at which point the unsuspecting Huggins could do nothing to avoid being sucked into the financial fraud abyss. The burden rested with him to defend his name against collectors and restore his good credit history. To accomplish this, he had to go through a confusing process of dealing with multiple agencies, businesses, and bureaucracies.
Even though Huggins was a victim of ID theft, he received no sympathy from banks or the collection agencies. Under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, an individual cannot be held liable for charges incurred on a credit card for which the individual did not apply and did not receive. Therefore, the banks would ultimately be forced to absorb the bad debt, but, in the meantime, that did not stop collection agencies from trying to collect the money from Huggins.
Huggins spent countless hours writing multiple letters, making and documenting phone calls, leaving and returning messages, sending certified mail, and doing anything he could to right a wrong he never committed.
For his troubles, Huggins sued the banks for negligent enablement of imposter fraud, alleging they were negligent for issuing the credit cards without investigation, verification, or corroboration of the imposter. Further, he claimed the banks were negligent in attempting to collect the debt from Huggins, an innocent victim of a crime made possible by the banks' lack of due diligence.
The banks—also victims of the fraud—asked the court to dismiss the case because Huggins was not their customer and, therefore, they had no legal duty to protect him. Huggins disagreed, arguing that banks have a duty to protect potential victims of identity theft from imposter fraud.
To legally establish a claim for negligence, a plaintiff must prove there is a legal duty of care owed by the defendant to the plaintiff and that there was a breach of that duty by negligent act or omission. In a negligence action, the court must determine, as a matter of law, whether the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. If there is no duty, there should be no action.
You be the judge.
"We are greatly concerned about the rampant growth of identity theft and financial fraud in this country. Moreover, we are certain that some identity theft could be prevented if credit card issuers carefully scrutinized credit card applications."
Having said that, the court ruled in favor of the banks, citing that negligence liability does not attach unless the parties have a relationship recognized by law and "South Carolina does not recognize the tort of negligent enablement of imposter fraud."
Adding an editorial note, the court also pointed out "that various state and national legislation provides at least some remedy for victims of credit card fraud…. While these regulations may not fully compensate victims of identity theft for all of their injury, we conclude the legislative arena is better equipped to assess and address the impact of credit card fraud on victims and financial institutions alike."

Black holes are real phenomena in our universe. These massive objects produce such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape.
In 1783, British scientist John Michell postulated the idea of a "dark star"—a star with gravity so strong that even light cannot escape.1 Any light emitted from the surface of a dark star would be pulled back to the surface by gravity, so such a star would be invisible. But is it possible to have an object so massive that light cannot escape?
Bending Space and Time
Before Einstein, physicists thought of gravity as a force that pulled things through space. Einstein supposed that gravity is not a force at all, but rather a "bending" of space and time.
But what does it mean to "bend" space and time? In essence, this means that gravity imparts a sort of "velocity" to empty space, and matter just "goes along for the ride."
We can illustrate this with an analogy: sailboats on a lake. The surface of the water represents "empty" space. The boats represent matter. The wind represents an external force on those boats, which drives them through the water.
What Makes Matter Move?
- External forces move matter through space. Just as wind moves a sailboat through the water, gravity was once thought to move matter through space.
- In reality, gravity moves space itself, pulling matter with it. Just as a sailboat moves along a flowing river even if there are no external forces, space itself moves matter.
Before Einstein, gravity was thought to be like the wind—an external force acting on matter. But Einstein suggested that gravity is an effect, not on matter but on space itself. In our analogy, this means the water itself is flowing, as on a river, and the boats just "go along for the ride."2 They would move even if there were no wind, because the water itself carries them along.
In our analogy, photons (particles of light) can be represented by fast motorboats that have their throttle stuck open at a certain speed (see illustration below). Like light in empty space, these motorboats always travel at the same speed. But the path of those motorboats is affected if the water is moving. Similarly, gravity bends the path of light because light travels through space, and space is "moved" by gravity. We don't notice the effect of gravity bending light here on earth because earth's gravity is very weak compared to the speed of light. But the bending of light by gravity has been detected in space.
How a Black Hole Works
This effect is merely one of several verifications of Einstein's physics; so we can have some confidence that gravity really does bend space and time as Einstein claimed. Since space itself is pulled by gravity, modern physics indicates that it is indeed possible to have a gravitational field so strong (and thus, space would be moving so fast) that light itself cannot escape. And since nothing can travel through space faster than light, nothing would be able to escape from such a powerful gravitational field. This is a "black hole"—a term coined by physicist John Wheeler in 1967.3 Although they may seem counterintuitive, black holes are a real phenomenon.
Since space itself is pulled by gravity, modern physics indicates that it is indeed possible to have a gravitational field so strong that light cannot escape. This is a black hole.
Black Holes or Dark Stars?
Black holes are similar in many respects to the "dark stars" predicted by Michell, but there are some differences because our understanding of physics has improved since Michell's time. As one example, unlike Michell's conception, the actual mass of a black hole has essentially no size at all. This is because the gravity is so strong that all the mass of the "star" becomes crushed into a point called a singularity. So all the "substance" of a black hole is in the singularity.
To illustrate the physics of a black hole, let's return to our lake analogy. Imagine we pull out a giant cork in the middle of the lake and the water begins to drain. Water near the edge of the lake would be essentially unaffected. But water near the center would rapidly move toward the drain. The drain represents a massive object—the singularity.
At some small distance away from the drain, the water would be moving at the same speed as the motorboats (which represent particles of light). In other words, at this radius the water (symbolizing "space") is moving at the speed of light, which we denote by the symbol c. In a black hole, this distance is called the "Schwarzschild radius"—it's the place where space is falling into the black hole at the speed of light (c). Imagine a motorboat trying to escape by aiming away from the drain. It would be stationary because it moves at the same speed away from the water that the water is flowing toward the drain. Likewise, light that is aimed away from a black hole would be stationary at the Schwarzschild radius. It would be like salmon trying to swim upstream, but not making any headway. Objects much farther away than the Schwarzschild radius do not get pulled in; they could orbit the black hole just as planets orbit the sun. The effects of gravity pulling on space diminish with distance from the singularity just as water being pulled toward the drain is minimal far from the drain.4
The Event Horizon
The region of space corresponding to the Schwarzschild radius is called the "event horizon." It's a horizon because you can't see past it. You would never see any events that happen inside of it, since their light would never reach you.
When astronomers talk about the "size" of a black hole, they are referring to the event horizon. (Recall that the actual mass of the black hole—the singularity—has essentially no size at all!) The size of the event horizon depends on the mass of the singularity.5
The event horizon is the "point of no return" for a black hole. Inside the event horizon, space is being pulled toward the singularity faster than the speed of light.
(Yes, physics allows this. Although neither matter nor energy can move through space faster than light, there is no known restriction on how fast space itself can move.) Since nothing can move through space faster than light, anything inside the event horizon will be pulled toward the singularity and crushed into it—there is no escape! Even light will be pulled backwards into the singularity.
Another strange consequence of being in such a strong gravitational field is that light can actually orbit a black hole at a distance of 1.5 times the Schwarzschild radius. At this distance, light (if aimed in just the right direction) will be influenced so strongly by the black hole's gravity that it will circle around the black hole indefinitely.
Finding Black Holes
But if black holes are invisible, how could we ever find one? Michell suggested looking for dark stars in binary star systems. A binary star consists of two stars orbiting each other. Michell reasoned that in some binary star systems, one of the two stars would be a dark star.
Therefore, we should expect to see some visible stars orbiting around an invisible companion. And we do! One example is Cygnus X-1; here a blue supergiant star orbits around an unseen companion. The estimated mass of the invisible object indicates that it is indeed a black hole.
Many similar cases have been found. But there are other ways to detect black holes as well. For instance, material falling into the black hole can heat up and give off X-rays and other forms of radiation before it reaches the event horizon.
Some black holes have a mass comparable to a star. These stellar mass black holes may be the crushed cores of exploded stars. Other black holes are much more massive. These are commonly found in the center of galaxies. Even our own galaxy is suspected to have a super-massive black hole at its center. These galactic black holes may act as gravitational anchors for some stars in the galactic bulge.
Black holes provide an observable confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Such physics is the basis for several young-universe cosmologies, which allow light from the most distant galaxies to reach earth in thousands of years or less. Scientific discoveries, such as black holes, are not only interesting, but they give us a small glimpse into the thoughts of an infinite God (Psalm 19:1).
What Is Dark Matter?
Astronomers have discovered that galaxies rotate faster than they would if they were comprised of only observable objects, such as stars, gas, and dust. In other words, the visible mass in most galaxies does not provide enough gravitational attraction to account for the motions we observe. This suggests that galaxies contain an invisible source of mass, called dark matter. Dark matter is any nonvisible substance that is detected only by its gravitational influence on other (visible) objects. Most astrophysicists currently believe that there is much more dark matter in the universe than visible matter.
Some physicists believe that dark matter is composed of ordinary matter, but that such matter is so cold that it does not emit enough radiation for us to detect. For example, planets or other large objects that do not radiate energy or reflect light from nearby stars would be classified as dark matter. Black holes are one example in this category. However, it is more commonly believed that most dark matter is composed of exotic, as-yet-undiscovered particles that permeate the universe. This is called nonbaryonic dark matter because, unlike ordinary atoms, it would not be made of protons and neutrons (which are baryons).
Some scientists have suggested alternatives to dark matter. For example, it may be that the laws of physics are slightly different than currently understood, as suggested by the MOND1 and Carmelian2 models. If either of these models is correct, then there may be very little dark matter in the universe. Such a result would be devastating to big bang models since these require copious quantities of dark matter. However, most creation models of cosmology would work either way.
- MOND stands for "modified Newtonian dynamics." Technically, it proposes that the acceleration of gravity deviates from the usual inverse square law for very low accelerations.
- Carmelian physics is a five-dimensional variation on general relativity, which proposes that expansion is an intrinsic property of the universe.

- The concept was also proposed independently by Pierre-Simon LaPlace in 1799. Back
- This analogy is mathematically rigorous when we assign the speed of the water (space) to be the escape velocity. This is called the "river model of black holes" and was developed by Andrew Hamilton and Jason Lisle; see A. J. S. Hamilton and J. Lisle, "The River Model of Black Holes" in General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0411060v2. Back

- If the sun could be compressed into a black hole (of equal mass), the planets would not be pulled in; they would continue in their present orbits because they are far away from the Schwarzschild radius. Back
- The Schwarzschild radius for a mass M is given by RS = 2GM/c2 where G is the universal gravitational constant and c is the speed of light. Visit www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n1/lens to see a black hole gravity lens. Back
