Yuletide and the Wren!
Yuletide is upon us. Time for wassail, the Yule log, and of course, hunting the wren!
The Wren is a small brown bird, common throughout Britain, Europe and North America. But the wren is a very sacred bird, and holds a place in British myth and in Yule lore. Called The King Of The Birds, the Wren is a symbol of the Old God, or Holly King, and of the death of winter. This smallest of birds is known in story, myth and folk song, often simply as The King. Here is an excerpt from my book The Flowering Rod:
"At Yule, young men who had recently reached puberty would go hunting in the woods. Their quarry was the wren, the symbol of the Winter God. The wren's name comes from Cutty Wren, or Cutty Bran, Bran's Sparrow. Bran is the Welsh name for the Antlered God, king of the Underworld. The death of the wren at the hands of the young hunters symbolizes the death of Winter at the hands of the young Sun God, and helps the young men internalize that archetype. This ritual helps the young men establish that they are each the embodiment of the Oak King. In killing the wren, they stop seeing the Holly King as father or nurturer, and establish their own identities with the older men as mentors and role models.
The young men take the wren to each house in the village, so that each household can rejoice in the death of Winter and the promise of Spring. In one English village, the following song is sung as the young men go from door to door. This custom is the forebear of Christmas caroling.
Joy, health, love and peace
Be all here in this place
By your leave we will sing
Concerning our King
Our King is well dressed
In silks of the best
In ribbons so rare
No King can compare
We have traveled many miles
Over hedges and stiles
In search of our King
Unto you we bring
We have powder and shot
To conquer the lot
We have cannon and ball
To conquer them all
Oh, Yuletide is passed
Twelfth tide is the last
And we bid you ado
Great joy to the new.
The Wren can be seen on English coinage (above), and in many instances of British myth: Aside from the Welsh Bran, mentioned above, and from whom the bird gets its common name, we see the creature in the myth of Lleu Llaw Gyffes, a Welsh tale from the Mabinogion. Lleu is under a curse that he can have no name until the Goddess Arianrhod names him. Lleu kills a wren (the symbol of winter), establishing himself as the God of the sun. Arianrhod sees him kill the bird with a well shot stone from his slingshot, and exclaims "The Little Lion Has A Steady Hand!" The Lion is a common name for the sun god (Lleu Llaw Gyffes, and the Irish Lugh, both mean lion), and in Welsh, The Lion With The Steady Hand is...you guessed it...Llew Llaw Gyffes.
The English forest God Herne also has strong associations with the Wren, and its summer counterpart, the Robin. It's very likely that the hero Robin Hood takes his name from these two birds and their place in the Herne myth. On a side note, the Robin represents the lithe, sexual summer God who presides over the Beltain rites: anyone with the name Robinson or Robson most likely had an illegitimate ancestor conceived on that merry eve.
As Britain became Christian, like many other mythic figures, the Wren was given a new story to explain his kingship. In the new tale, the birds have a contest to see who will be king. Whoever can fly the highest will earn that title. The small birds make their attempts, as do geese, herons and hawks. But the eagle seems most likely to win. Indeed, the eagle soars high above all the others, but at the zenith of his flight, a wren who had hidden in the eagle's neck feathers popped out, flew a tiny bit higher, and won the crown.
In the Wren tradition of rural Britain (a custom still observed today), we always have a small effigy of a wren in our Yule ritual. We crown it King, then celebrate its death as the sun grows in strength, bringing the Robin and the new life of spring.
Have a merry Yule: Wassail!

What is the maximum and/or ideal length of an ethernet cable? Is there a distance that data cannot be transferred over an ethernet cable, say over X number of feet?
There is no ideal length of a cat 5 cable but the specification states that it should not be more than 100m (328 feet). More info on the wiki page |
The ideal length is exactly as long as you need (up to 100 meters) and no longer. Every extra 11.9 inches adds another nanosecond of extra latency. |
Ideal: As short as possible, as isolated as possible. Maximum: 100 meters without repeaters. |
To be in spec, a CAT 5 UTP cable should not exceed 100 meters. Cable can be connected with repeaters and you can get another 100 meters and so on. However, if you network is too large, then the TCP/IP packet will take so long to go from end to end computers will reach the timeout before they get a reply back. At that point other devices will have to be used to retransmit the packets, like switches/routers... I'm not sure about that distance/time before packets are considered lost. |

BOSTON - A jury convicted a Franklin woman on charges that she stole more than $77,000 in government retirement benefits.
Sharon Kay Bowles,55, has been convicted on five counts of theft of government money. The verdict followed a trial before United States District Judge William G. Young who scheduled sentencing for July 24, 2012.
Bowles was charged with stealing money from the Office of Personnel Management by taking monthly annuity payments intended for her mother for nearly four years after her mother's death in 2004. Bowles failed to notify the Office of Personnel Management of her mother's death and falsified verification forms to mislead the government into believing that Bowles's mother, the only legal recipient of the annuity payments, was still alive.
Bowles faces up to 10 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine on each count.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Drew Grimm, Special Agent in Charge of Eastern Operations, Office of Personnel Management, Office of Inspector General; and Steven D. Ricciardi, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service made the announcement. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul G. Levenson of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.

Thought about trying one out. Anybody tried one? Let me know your opinions?
Thought about trying one out. Anybody tried one? Let me know your opinions?
are you going to use it for everything ? or just for hunting?
I use one, but I'm mainly a hunter. If you are going to use this as a target or 3D bow I wouldn't go that direction. Some people that try them like them, some don't.
i use one similar for hunting , but is not a hindsight. It has a single pin front sight and the rear aperature is a large crosshair. It is set up for 30yds. and since i don't use a peep sight with it....it works much better for those early morning and evening shots under very dense canopy.
After hunting season it comes off and my regular sight with the peep go back on.
Not using the Hind sight, however I am using the "Anchor Sight" by Archery Inovations. IMO a much better anchor sight than the Hind Sight or the No Peep. Micro Adjustable also the mounting plate included can be mounted in various configs. Do a search on archerytalk.com on all three then make a decision. Thats what did. That sight is a wealth of information. Research befor you buy! That's my $.02.

Specialty Foodie souvieners to take home
Hi Chow Hounds!
Any suggestions for some specialty items to take home to share w/other foodie friends? Looking for locally produced, would be hard to find else where, & unique. I taken home honey & jams. I really appreciate any suggestions!
Here's where I get some of my bring back with me stuff when I visit family in Hawaii.
http://4jshawaii.com/ -
Hi all. Here is what I ended up getting, thanks for all your input!
Wailua Soda...loved the Lilikoi. So much so that I am contemplating ordering more & having it shipped. Also like the Pacifikool Ginger drinks from the Ala Moana Farmers Market since we didn't have time to go to the KCC one :( but they don't sell the syrup there, just drinks!
Honey & Macadamia butter from the Aloha Swapmeet...super good!
Kaua'i Kookie Co.'s - Kona Macadamia my fave
Island Princess Mele Macs - brought them back for coworkers & they loved themI tried most of the other things but ran out of room (both my luggage & stomach! LOL). Can't wait for the next trip!
re: killersmile
Hence; my posting of it! There are plenty food samples there and produce from some farms between the 2 halls. I always buy those great outlet covers - I take an inventory of my house for the remaining ones needing a cover with the configuration and buy them there. I also have bought kava from Kava Boy. He has samples too!
I always stock up on tins of Honolulu cookies..sea salt..macadamia nuts for $7..Kona coffee at the ABC store..great place for cheap kitchey gifts.
What's the name of the dried plum stuff you islanders put on everything?
Surfing Goat Dairy in Maui has t-shirts and glasses that I'm going to order from the mainland.www.surfinggoatdairy.com/products_merchandise.html
re: Beach Chick
Li Hing Mui powder, available at Long's, and probably lots of other places. Agree ABC is best for kitschy souvenirs, but much better prices and selection on mac nuts at Don Quijote, just a few blocks, short bus ride from Waikiki central...and they have got plenty of kitsch too...maybe even cheaper than ABC...can't say, because those are never on my shopping list.
I often buy salt or salt rubs to give as gifts. They go over well and travel easily.
You could take assorted crackseed. It's fun to go to a crackseed store and buy a variety out of the big glass jars, or you can buy the packaged ones from Longs. Some of my favs are lemon peel, red mango, rock salt plum, wet prune & apricot lee hing mui, and the old standby, red lee hing mui. YUM. Oh, and the red coconut ball candy. Mainland people love those. Also, dried cuttlefish and taco. YUM. If you like dried fish, you could also look for some dried Aku and take that with you.
i would recommend portuguese sausage, pacific brand. they're only at don quijote and are the same brand used by mcdonalds. used to be that you could not get them except at fundraisers.
re: indelibledotink
You can buy this large plastic tub of Won-Ton at Costco, I do this for parties. I would suggest the North Shore Cattle Co. portuguese sausage, it's amazing as is their Andouille. You can call them and ask to have some for purchase at the KCC market. Sometimes they have it sometimes they don't (available for purchase beyond the served in a bun on their menu). Hawaiian Chip Company also has a very good sized bag at Costco of the mixed variety.
re: manomin
I have plenty of room for stuff to take back so I appreciate all the feedback. Portuguese sausage & taro chips have been added to the list!
Does anyone know if there are any good seasoning mixes for Poke to make it fresh at home? I think I bought one once a long time ago from Hilo Hattie. Any others out there? -
re: manomin
I'd forgotten that they have those 1-ton chips in large, sturdy containers at Costco...thanks for the reminder, manomin. For chips and other easily breakables, you might want to find similar inexpensive large plastic storage containers (try Long's) to keep them from turning to powder on the trip home. However, if you do end up with lots of crushed chips, putting them or arare into popcorn is something you should consider...great local flavor. Same with furikaki...a dried Japanese condiment available in supermarkets and Long's...meant to be sprinkled on rice. Several varieties, but most include dried bonito, seaweed, sesame, etc.
Locally made fish jerky, available packaged at many places, such as Tamura's, and by the piece/lb (with an interesting selection, and I think they offer tasting) in the deli in the new Nico's at Pier 38.
I often take won ton chips; there is a Hilo-made brand, I think called "1-Ton" you can find at Long's...friends who have moved to the Mainland appreciate them with fond memories, and others enjoy them at cocktail hour. They are more sturdy than Hilo-made Atebara brand potato chips, so they travel better. Similarly, I usually take arare rice crackers (local name: "mochi crunch" which is mostly imported. There are numerous brands and different types...not sure if any are made here, but are a local favorite snack, again great with beer or cocktails.
re: SweetObsession
That's basically the gist of it. Highly addictive though. Another thing I always take up to relatives in California are the taro & sweet potato chips from Hawaiian Chip Company, although it will be kind of bulky, so it might be difficult if you don't have the space. You can even visit their factory outlet and have some fresh made chips.
re: macaraca
FWIW: Costco carries One-Ton Chips in big plastic jars that are more likely to survive in your checked luggage.
Some other suggestions:
Cornflake "School Kine" Cookies that you should be able to find at Costco (also in big jars)...
Island Princess Mele Macs (you can get the jars at Costco and at Don Quijote)
Cookies in Paradise Furikake Party Mix (sweet local style Chex mix in jars at Costco)(saw that someone already mentioned that you can get the tubs of One-ton chips at Costco, I'll leave my post here anyway :)
+1 on killersmile's jam and honey suggestion (my fave is ohia lehua honey), and manomin's of PacifiKool ginger syrup (you can get it on line, too, 2 kinds).
I'd also suggest some real pa'akai (native-harvested salt) if you can find it. Kaua'i Kookie Co.'s poppyseed dressing mix is killahs, too.
Kaleo -
go to the saturday farmer's market at KCC Community College. they have many different jams and jellies all using locally grown or harvested fruits. they also have many different types of honey, some from single types of flowers such as ohia or hibiscus. there is also chocolate made from cacao plants grown in waialua, ka'u and kona coffee and other goodies.
re: killersmile
Thanks for the info. Any ones that are a particular standout? I know there are plenty of items but I want to know is anything is of a standout nature. I love the idea of locally produced chocolate though ; )
BTW, I will be visiting Oahu. Will have car so willing to travel for good finds!
re: SweetObsession
Sometimes the Alii Kula Lavender Farm is there, they have wonderful things! Also you can buy some Pacifikool Ginger Syrup, it says to refrigerate (and I would when I get home and in a fridge while you are here) but it travels well and I always take home some to friends who have come to love it. That's from the farmer's market too. You didn't say when you are coming but in August - always Admission Day weekend is the Made In Hawaii festival. I do almost all of my Christmas shopping there. There are plenty food products and lots of sampling. There is lots of sampling at the market as well. If you are in Kailua there is a Sand People store that sells really great locally made jewelry and next to that is Lanikai Bath & Body which has great things. Kailua has their market on Thursday nights if you happen to be there, it's behind Long's and has lots of locally made things, it is affiliated with the KCC market (HFB).
re: SweetObsession
If you like the idea of locally grown & produced chocolate, then in Kailua there are two shops (Madre Chocolates and Manoa Chocolates) that opened recently that produce artisinal single origin chocolate bars using cacao grown on oahu and the big island. They actually go through the entire process of processing the cacao from bean to bar in their small shops. Definitely not cheap, but excellent chocolate. You can find their shops locations by going to their websites, http://madrechocolate.com/Home.html and http://manoachocolate.com/. You can also find Madre chocolates at the Ala Moana Farmer's Market and in some shops around town. They have the list of shops on their website.

Celebrate Gay Marriage—or Else
Future historians will likely be flummoxed by the moment we're living in. In what amounts to less than a blink of an eye in the history of Western civilization, homosexuality has gone from a diagnosed mental disorder to something to be celebrated — or else.
Indeed, the rush to mandatory celebration is so intense, refusal is now considered tantamount to a crime. And, in some rare instances, an actual crime if the right constable or bureaucrat concludes that you have uttered "hate speech."
Or, if you refuse to bake a gay couple a cake for their wedding. That was the horror story that sparked much of this foofaraw.

Sam Marsdyke is a lonely young man, dogged by an incident in his past and forced to work his family farm instead of attending school in his Yorkshire village. He methodically fills his life with daily routines and adheres to strict boundaries that keep him at a remove from the townspeople. But one day he spies Josephine, his new neighbor from London. From that moment on, Sam's carefully constructed protections begin to crumble—and what starts off as a harmless friendship between an isolated loner and a defiant teenage girl takes a most disturbing turn.
Questions for Discussion
1. Out Backward is a novel with a strikingly original voice which brings to life the Yorkshire patois of the young narrator, Sam. What effect did this unique voice have on your reading experience?
2. We learn that Sam has been shunned by his community for the alleged sexual assault of a classmate, which led to his subsequent expulsion from school. Is the community at all to blame for Sam's later actions? Could things have unfolded differently for Sam, or was his fate inevitable?
3. The Marsdykes are a farming family trying to get by the only way they know how in a town where land is quickly being bought up and developed. How, if at all, does this "progress" affect both Sam's family and Sam himself?
4. Is Joanna in any way responsible for what happens to her in the novel? Does she instigate the chain of events or lead Sam on in any way? Or, do you see her as purely a victim?
5. How reliable a narrator do you find Sam? At what point in the narrative did you reach that decision?
6. How important do you think the novel's setting—the Yorkshire Moors—is to the story itself?
7. Discuss the title—its significance to and role in the story. Can you think of a more fitting title? (The British edition is called God's Own Country.)
8. What do you think happens after the novel ends? How, if at all, has Sam changed as a result of everything he has been through?

A new set of tools, called the Healthy Weight Protocol, have been developed to help veterinarians and pet owners select a petfood and determine the correct amount to feed their pet.
Hill's Pet Nutrition and the University of Tennessee collaborated to develop the tools, which help veterinarians to more accurately diagnose overweight pets and create a feeding and monitoring plan for pet owners to follow.
The tools use a veterinarian's measurements of six parts of a cat's body or four parts of a dog's body to calculate the pet's body-fat index and ideal weight. If measurements can't be taken, a body-fat index risk chart can be used. The program then produces a detailed feeding and weight-loss plan that can work with a combination of dry petfoods, canned petfoods and treats.

Green In Eugene
In a city known as the "emerald city" it's important to try and keep things green! After just one year of our event, we knew it was important to focus on green initiatives to help minimize the environmental impact of an event our size. So after our inaugural year (2007) we went to work to implement efforts that we continue to use today. Each year we strive to better our efforts and implement new green strategies to keep it "Green in Eugene."
- 2008 (only our 2nd year) we became the first race in Lane County to "go green."
- November, 2008 Runner's World recognized our green efforts and named the Eugene Marathon a "Top 10 Green Race in North America!"
Some of our Green Initiatives:
Goodie Bag: In 2012 we took a major step toward staying "Green in Eugene!" We partnered with Virtual Race Bags to poduce 'virtual goodie bags' for participants. Registered participants receive an email invitation to the Virtual Race Bag before and after race day. In the bag folks will find an array of valuable information including exclusive offers, coupons, givewaways and messages from partners! Note: Participants still receive the commemorative reusable goodie bag and a few quality samples at the expo.
PickUp Pal: Interested in ride sharing to Eugene for race weekend? Sign up here - It is free to join and use. PickupPals can track the number of rides they have given or taken and the number of miles they have traveled via ride sharing and we can keep track of the amount of carbon emissions we have collectively reduced as a result
Waste Free Oregon: We employ Waste Free Oregon and "master recyclers" to help divert 80% of the garbage generated from our event from landfills. WFO works with us before, during and after the event to ensure we are taking necessary steps to help achieve such a high diversion rate. Learn more about the amazing work they do to help keep Oregon "waste free."
Educate: Keep volunteers, workers and runners informed of our goal to be Green in Eugene
Water: We've worked hard to reduce our dependance on bottled water by over 1/3. Now, many water stations use the city's water supply to hydrate runners, not only eliminating the bottles but also the transportation that goes into providing water to 17 stations around Eugene and Springfield. Our water sponsor, Earth2O, provides reusable jugs at all other water stations.
Green Mountain Energy® Green Ticket: Eugene Marathon partners with Green Mountain Energy Company to provide participants with the opportunity to offset a portion of their CO2 emissions created by traveling to and from the Eugene Marathon. Do your part to green Eugene by adding the $5.00 Green Mountain Energy® Green Ticket to your marathon registration. By doing so, you can offset the equivalent of 440 pounds of CO2. That's like recycling 1,080 aluminum cans, not driving a car 490 miles, or as much as 26 trees can absorb in one year!
Signs & Printing: We make every effort to reuse signs and banners from previous years. We work with a local printer (Green Solutions Printing) to print brochures, maps and handouts using recycled paper with a minimum of 55% recycled content and soy basked ink.
Recycling Toolkits: Utilize the City of Eugene's "Recycling Toolkits"
Donate: After the race we donate all leftover food (from the Pasta Dinner, Finish Line & Pancake Feed), discarded clothing and extra race shirts to charities in need.
10 Things to Reuse/Recycle from the Eugene Marathon
- Race Shirts - Send old shirts to Haiti, Africa, etc… Make a race t-shirt quilt. Check out: www.toocooltshirtquilts.com
- Medals - Donate to races like the ReRun Run. They reuse medals and shirts from local races. Or make a windchime from all your old medals.
- Space Blankets - Good for reflecting light in indoor gardens, make great halloween decorations, or can be used as packing material
- Water Bottles - Can be refilled once or recycled
- Goodie Bags - Great all purpose bag
- Clothing - Any clothing left behind at the race is donated to Goodwill
- Food - Leftover food and drink is donated to Food for Lane County or the Eugene Mission
- Shoes - Donate your used running shoes to Nike. They recycle them to make things like basketball courts. Drop them off at the Nike Store in Eugene.
- Gel Packets - Roll your empty gel pack and put it in your pocket to drop in the next available trash bin! These are the hardest clean up item for the marathon crew.
- Transportation - Use alternate transportation to the Eugene Marathon. Take one of our shuttles from Valley River, Eugene Hilton or Lane Events Center. Bike or walk to the start/finish. For longer distance travel, you can use PickUp Pal and make sure to purchase a Green Mountain Energy® Green Ticket to offset a portion of your CO2 emissions created by traveling to and from Eugene. You will be given the option to add the $5 Green Ticket to your shopping cart when completing your race registration.

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."
Oprah Winfrey
"Love is like energy. It can never be created nor destroyed...it is just always there. You just have to realize that fact and you have to learn that as soon as you stopped loving him in the way you did that love left to somewhere else. Now all you have to do is find out where that love went. That love went to whoever the next person in your life will be. That next person could be one of your friends or someone you might dislike, you just have to find that out."
Ian Philpot
"To help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though not easy, is the work of divine man"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."
"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
Albert Camus
"I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity"
"The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."
Anthony Robbins
"There is not the slightest indication that energy will ever be obtainable from the atom"
Albert Einstein
"The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have."
Norman Vincent Peale
"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one."

Like many people, I do a lot of reading, especially on airplanes, where I seem to spend way too much of my time. I read not only about fire service and homeland security issues, but also about organizational leadership, management, government and politics in general. Newspapers and magazines seem to attract my attention the most. It's obvious that the national political landscape is changing, and many people are writing about it. These changes can't help but impact the fire and emergency services arena as various decisions are made at the local, state and national levels of government.
• Public perception – As one example, the July 2011 edition of the magazine Governing leads with two articles that directly relate to the fire service (especially the career service) and the new political landscape that is emerging. One is titled "Public Disunion" and the other is titled "Rewriting Retirement." Both authors focus on the premise that public employee wages and benefits are the root cause of the budget shortfalls being experienced in state and local government.
The articles identify shortfalls in funding for retirement plans as a prime example of unsustainable benefits for public employees. It is professed that the public has come to view the benefits of public workers as exorbitant. Propaganda asserting this has been repeated over and over throughout our society, and it is beginning to gain footing in some areas. In fairness to the authors of these articles, they also interviewed labor leaders and published their points of view as well. It's obvious that the parties quoted in the articles are miles apart in their views of the current state of affairs and how the country got here.
• Biased scrutiny – Another area receiving more scrutiny than ever before relates to the resources necessary to provide public safety services at the local level. Local government leaders are hiring consultants who come forth with pre-determined findings of how police and fire departments can be re-invented with the result being increased service levels to the public with no negative effect on public safety. A county in northern California recently convened what it calls a civil grand jury to review fire department management effectiveness, deployment and response models, and other important aspects of fire protection, EMS and other areas of service delivery. The process was obviously stacked against the fire service up front and the published findings were less than flattering to the fire departments in that county.
Whether it's consultants, civil grand juries or any other person or group with an opinion, berating the fire service and representing the importance of meeting national fire service codes and standards as irrelevant and unnecessary is risky business for the safety of the public and the safety of firefighters.
• Government focus – Issues surrounding the debt limit and spending cuts at the federal level have consumed almost all of the energy of Congress and the Administration for months now. There is no reason to believe this will temper over the next 15 months, or even more. This is a critical issue for our country and has already changed the political landscape on a very broad scale, which will most likely continue for years to come. With entitlements and interest payments on the national debt virtually off the table for consideration in the debt-reduction process, cutting what will amount to a couple of trillion dollars from the federal budget over the next decade is quite likely to have some impact on public safety funding, including funding for fire service programs.
It's obvious that we're living in a much different political world than just a couple of years ago. We can't deny the importance of our nation's economic and employment recovery as the number-one issue we all face. We need to keep writing about it, talking about it and taking positive steps to address it. There will no doubt be sacrifices that must be made along the way.

A 6-12 ft., open, straggling shrub, often with pendulous outer branches which root where they touch the ground. Flat-topped clusters of white flowers have a lacy effect similar to some hydrangeas and contrast well with the medium green foliage. Berries change from red to blue. The fall foliage is usually bright red. This shrub has fragrant, flat-topped clusters of small, white flowers, the outer flowers larger than the inner ones.
This straggly shrub has beautiful bronze-red or purple- pin autumn coloration and is used by wildlife for food and cover. Its branches often bend and take root, tripping or hobbling passers-by; hence its common name.

Human Rights Watch Calls For Ban On Killer Robots
As Bill Clinton flies to the Middle East in the hope of effecting a truce [3] between Israel and the Palestinians [4], an NGO has called for a worldwide ban on automated weapons. Human Rights Watch yesterday released [5] a 50-page report [6] that outlines the case against Killer Robots. Although the sharp end of defense is still at the semi-automated stage, the research arms of the various weaponry firms are looking at systems which need no human input whatsoever. This is great news for governments, who can go to war without worrying so much about their own soldiers' loss of life, not so good for civilians caught up in the conflict.
As well as using drones, the Israelis rely on a semi-automated border patrol system, which replaces guards in situ with a weapon and camera. HRW fears that the technology is already in place to make these machines automated, meaning they can make their own decisions as to whether to take out the target or not. And how, adds the non-profit organisation, can it differentiate between an assailant holding a gun and a kid holding an ice cream?

Loved it, but....
Loved my Mia for just shy of 14 months, when it just stopped working. I was very, very disappointed. Spending that kind of money, I would think that it would last longer.

like the size, color. i just wish it came with a pouch or carrying case.

I purchased the Clarisonic as a gift for my adult daughter. She says it's great.It exceeded her expectations. She especially likes to use it, cleansing her face, while in the shower.

a lemon
I heard great things about the Clarisonic and was excited to receive my package from Nordstrom. But mine started shaking and would not stop the minute I started the 24 hour charging process. I called the 1-877 Clarisonic Co. # to see if I had somehow misunderstood the simple instructions. They could hear the problem over the phone, and immediately asked me for the serial# and said they would...

great for my combination skin
I love using the Mia to deep clean and smooth out my skin. For those prone to acne I would recommend starting off using it less frequently. I had a terrible break out because I was told to use it twice a day. Now that I only use it 2-3 times a week, I really notice the benefits - my skin is clear and smooth.

Your music library to go with ZumoCast
Streaming music from your PC to your phone is a nice alternative to music locker services like MP3Tunes and mSpot, which require you to upload your music to a server on the Internet before you can access it on your phone. Simplify Media had a great iPhone app that performed this function, but Google bought the company earlier this year--presumably to integrate it into some sort of future music service for Android--and discontinued the iPhone app. I've been looking for a viable replacement ever since.

Street & City / Re: How to not get beat up when photographing public places?
« on: May 28, 2013, 10:24:04 AM »Don't take photos of people in public unless you get signed permission. Many people are concerned about their photos showing up on the internet, and its a valid concern. If there are children with them, you could end up in trouble. In some countries, you will end up in jail by photographing people without permission. Claiming that you were not actually photographing anyone, is not going to be believable, if a person sees a camera pointed their way or toward their children. As more and more so called street photographers take photos of people and children without their permission and post them on the internet, we will move closer and closer to totally restricting the use of cameras in public places.[\soapbox]
Totally untrue - except for the "in some countries" part. I'm sure there are some countries that prohibit such activity. Countries like North Korea and Iran for instance. Here in the USA, if its seen from a public place, its ok to shoot. There is no expectation of privacy, whatsoever, in public. The only "caution" is what is, and what is not, public. For instance, a public park, is public. A theme park, is not public - its private, with paid admission. I got ejected from the Palm Beach County Fair one year for taking pictures. That is, the Fairgrounds is public, but the event is private, held by private company that rents the public Fairgrounds for their private event! And so it said, on the back of my ticket stub, in fine print "... no commercial photography..." amid the rest of the clutter in about 2pt type. The cops said because I was shooting with medium format equipment, I was considered a commercial photographer. I didn't push the issue... left quietly, as I was pretty much done for the evening anyway.
My wife and I have been for two months in Iran and only once, near Persepolis, I was politely ask by the police not to point eastward as there was a military post. At Teheran, Qazbin, Isfahan, Kerman, Shiraz, Bam, Mashhad, Tabriz, Ardabil had absolutely no problems taking people photos. Furthermore, we got invited as guests of honor to a wedding in Mashad, to eat on many occasions, and two times the taxi driver refused to be paid. I encountered problems only in Quom but I still wonder if it was due to me being in a different mood or the people. Iran is, by far, the most welcoming country I have been in. (I'm european and only speak english and spanish).
I've travelled extensively and intensively for the last 18 years in Africa, Asia, Europe, North Central and South America and, in my personal experience, the places where you are more likely to get in trouble are: taking photos of the indigenous people of Central America and on many places on the US's midwest.
But this is only my experience.
I try to be polite, don´t feel guilty if I take photos without permission and always smile. When confronted, if needed, I apologize.

I have a weird problem with the subs in XBMC.
Before when i wanted to use the subtitle add-on during a movie (download subs for that movie for example) I always used to press the little subtitles icon on the "in-movie" menu (the one you bring up by pressing M).
But now whenever I try to open it nothing happens. I can't even select the button when navigating with the keyboard arrows. It just stays grey...
I'm using XBMC 11.0 btw

The adventures are chronicled in the large-format film, "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure," which opens Saturday for a long run.
This is fascinating stuff that blends modern footage and actor re-enactment with actual footage taken by the expedition's photographer, Frank Hurley.
Shackleton gathered his crew with an advertisement that read: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
More than 5,000 applied, and Shackleton selected 27.
His goal: to make it across Antarctica by foot. Unfortunately, before the crew made landfall, the ship became trapped in an ice floe, and all were stuck for 10 months in the Weddell Sea. When shifting ice began crushing the ship, the men were forced to abandon it and hope the lifeboats they saved would bring them to safety at a whaling station at the tip of South Georgia Island.
Conditions become so dangerous, Shackleton ends up splitting his crew, leaving some on an island in the middle of Antarctica while he and others set out for an 800-mile journey into rough open sea to reach South Georgia Island. Using a sextant to navigate, even a slight error could have thrown them completely off course.
Shackleton and his crew never realized the dream of walking across Antarctica, but the journey they did accomplish was no less amazing.
This is a short but taut film. Made in 2001, it includes the familiar voice of actor Kevin Spacey. It's well worth an hour, actually less than an hour, of your time to learn about a remarkable name in history.

Dilated cardiomyopathy
Other Names for this Disease
- Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] It is the most common type of cardiomyopathy and typically affects those aged 20 to 60.[2] The left ventricle of affected individuals becomes enlarged (dilated) and cannot pump blood to the body with as much force as a healthy heart can. The heart muscle also has difficulty contracting normally, which can lead to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), blood clots, or sudden death.[1][2] Over time, the heart becomes weaker and heart failure can occur.[2] While the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy is often unknown (idiopathic), some cases are acquired or inherited.[1][2]
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle which primarily affects the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle.

Duke Riley has been on our minds a lot over the past month. I've received a crash course in his work and the man himself as a result of the Museum's involvement with his naval battle "Those Who Are About To Die, Salute You," which played out (in all of its insane, tomato-stained glory) two weeks ago. As I was busy getting pelted with tomatoes from point-blank range, it dawned on me that Duke had created a very "New York" experience. This is the type of spectacle—getting a couple thousand people to wear togas to a mock naval battle fought in a public park in the middle of Queens—that is completely ridiculous and yet seems somewhat unsurprising given what goes on daily here in NYC.
What we have not done so far in the eight months of the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed is feature someone whose art often involves New York City itself, and that is why we're pleased to announce that Duke Riley is going to be the Twitter Art Feed artist for September. Like other artists who have participated in the Feed, Duke's work is in the Museum's collection. That piece, "The Bright Passage" (2006), depicts the imagined inhabitants of Mill Rock Island, a little-known piece of NYC real estate just north of Roosevelt Island on the East River.
Duke has spent time in some of New York City's least-visited (and accessible) spots, so we thought it would be interesting for him to give 1stfans access to the New York city he has come to know. Hence, "Duke Riley's Map of New York City," which will be an online map on which Duke will tweet out the locations that relate directly to his work. He'll tweet out a location and a sentence about what that location means to him every couple days, and then at the end of the month the map will provide insight into how one of New York's most notable (and notorious) artists working today.
Update 10/1/09 – Now that September is over, we thought it would be nice to share Duke's map with everyone. Below is Duke Riley's Map of New York City, which was revealed to 1stfans members via twitter over the last month:

minnesota newborn screening programWhat is Newborn Screening? |
Newborn screening is the process of testing babies for hidden, rare disorders. Newborn screening takes place before your baby leaves the hospital. With a simple blood test, doctors can tell whether newborns have certain conditions. Often, newborn screening is the only way to tell if newborns are affected, since these conditions cannot be seen at birth.
In Minnesota, a few drops of blood are taken from the baby's heel before the baby leaves the hospital. This small amount of blood is tested for over 50 disorders that:
- affect how the body breaks down proteins (such as PKU)
- cause hormone problems (such as congenital hypothyroidism)
- cause blood problems (such as sickle cell disease)
- affect how the body makes energy (such as MCAD)
- affect breathing and getting nutrients from food (such as cystic fibrosis)
Additionally, all babies born in Minnesota need to have their hearing checked before hospital discharge. Newborn hearing screening tests for hearing loss in the range where speech is heard. Hearing loss in this range can affect language and communication.
What Parents Need to Know about Newborn Screening |
- You can protect your baby's health with newborn screening – the disorders screened for in Minnesota are treatable.
- Newborn hearing screening and follow-up testing are the best ways to find hearing loss early.
- Newborn screening helps protect every baby's health. Minnesota law requires all newborns to be screened at birth. Your baby's blood will be tested unless you refuse in writing.
Parental Options - Your baby might need to have a second newborn screening or might need more testing.
- A baby who has a positive newborn screen needs additional testing
- A baby who has a borderline newborn screen will need another newborn screen done.
