Fujifilm X-E1 review
4.5 out of 5
Image quality is excellent, build quality is superb, retro style works a treat, high resolution electronic viewfinder, 18-55mm lens has bright aperture range and is well built
Autofocus not as swift as competition, close focus limitations, exposure comp dial can be knocked easily, 18-55mm lens positions rotational rings close together, small LCD screen, so-so battery life
The Fujifilm X-E1 is a compact system camera (CSC) unlike any of the competition out there - that's clear from taking just one glance at this well-oiled, retro-designed machine. But it's what's on the inside that's most exciting. When Fujifilm revealed... read the full review.

Global Warming's Terrifying New Math
This article (published June 2012) went immediately viral on the internet. It simplified the debate between people who recognized global warming at it's face value and what was at stake for those enabling the deniers. It identifies the three simple numbers that add up to global catastrophe - and makes clear who is the real enemy.

Never Date A Pisces
Is your ideal lover someone who just loves "Air Supply" and Barry Manilow? Someone who starts crying at the beginning of Walt Disney reruns?
Never Date An Aquarius
If you just adore folks with hot pink hair (on the half of their head that isn't shaved), rows of small pierced silver rings in the most interesting places
Never Date A Capricorn
Are you in the market for a lover who's ultra responsible, In Charge, and Right On Top Of Things? In other words, a workaholic who takes their organizer, cell-phone, and portable fax machine everywhere
Never Date A Sagittarius
Getting a Sag to fall for you is a piece of cake. They're really good at falling, tripping, stumbling, etc. In fact, Sags can injure themselves worse just walking down the street than most
Never Date A Scorpio
Looking for a lover who will automatically suspect you of lying at all times? Someone who will be obsessively jealous of everyone around you, regardless of their age or sex?
Never Date A Libra
Don't ever ask a Libra a question that involves a choice unless you want to camp out wherever you happen to be while they're trying to choose
Never Date A Virgo
If you're thinking of dating a Virgo, your best bet is to invest in a lint brush, some spearmint dental floss, and an expensive pair of double-thick, lined, sanitized, yellow rubber gloves.
Never Date A Leo
Looking for an easygoing, low-maintenance, and independent partner? Someone who can always roll with the punches, never takes anything personally, and is always able to separate their ego from the situation at hand?
Never Date A Cancer
Cancers are known to be private types who are fond of their homes and very, very tight with their families. Don't ask them any personal questions for at least a year, regardless of whether or not you're married by then.
Never Date A Gemini
Geminis aren't nearly as fickle as folks make them out to be. They're just, oh,....easily distracted. If you're dating a Gemini, always have Plan B ready
Never Date A Taurus
Don't date a Taurus if you're not Looking For A Relationship, because once you ask them out they'll consider themselves engaged and want to shop for rings.
Never Date An Aries
Looking for a lover who's mature, gentle, thoughtful, considerate, and entirely unselfish? Well, then, don't even consider dating an Aries.
The Moon Rules Our Need for Security
by Donna Cunningham.
The Moon rules your basic sense of security, which early parenting influences in a crucial but unconscious way. It comes from the way the infant is held, how it is fed, and how it is responded to when it cries -- whether all these things are done with love, with anxiety, with indifference, or even with hostility.
Your Moon Sign: How To Deal with Emotions
by Donna Cunningham.
The Moon in our chart shows our emotions and how we deal with them, as well as how we respond to the emotions of people around us. This relates back to the nurturing we had as a very young child. How well our parents responded to our emotional expressions has a great deal to do with...
The Solar or Yearly Cycle
by John Townley.
Like the moon, the sun exerts a cyclic pull on us, but the pull is much stronger -- it's what keeps the earth in orbit, determines the seasons, and keeps us all alive. The sun's cycle, 365+ days, serves very much as an overall personal energy and health cycle and often determines...
Paying Attention: Signs & Wonders

Horoscope June 20 - 26th 2011
by Pam Younghans
THE CURTAIN OPENS this week to show our cast of planetary players engaged in animated conversation... Mercury (representing our ability to reason logically) looks completely disheveled, winged hat askew, having met up with first unpredictable Uranus on Saturday and then forceful Pluto on Sunday. Usually a bit...
Horoscope: February 28 to March 6, 2011
THE THEME of completion continues this week, reinforced by the New Moon in Pisces on Friday. New Moons typically represent a time to sow seeds and to take action on new projects -- but in Pisces, that intention is altered somewhat. Pisces is the final sign of astrology's twelve-sign zodiac, and so represents the ending of a year-long cycle. Perhaps we can use the energy of this New Moon by taking steps to complete some project -- or some karmic issue...
Horoscope: February 14 to 20, 2011
ANOTHER HIGH-VIBRATIONAL WEEK lies before us, highlighted by a Full Moon in Leo and a triple alignment of Neptune, Mars and Mercury in Aquarius. The other-worldly energy of this stellium (an alignment of three or more planets) will build throughout the week, be amplified at the Full Moon on Thursday/Friday (when the Sun aligns with Neptune), and then reach full effect next...
May 2009 Alignment: Jupiter's Role
by Pam Younghans.
Jupiter's involvement in the May 2009 alignment with Neptune and Chiron means that, at the very least, it will be that much more difficult for us to ignore the primary directives of the alignment. But we can also explore what his presence in Aquarius might indicate and how else this vast planet's involvement might...
May 2009 Alignment: Chiron in Aquarius
by Pam Younghans. The promise of Chiron is that as we learn to heal and release the fears and misperceptions related to issues of rejection and abandonment, we also build a bridge to spiritual enlightenment. This is mirrored in physicality by the fact that Chiron's orbit lies primarily between Saturn and Uranus, and so acts as a stepping stone...
May 2009 Alignment: Neptune

This article, while containing information that may be useful for everyone, is written specifically for those who have Pluto positioned between 25 and 27 degrees of Leo in their birth charts. This includes those born between Sept. 1954 and Feb. 1955, between July and Sept. 1955, and...
Horoscope January 31 to February 6, 2011
URANUS is very active this week, wrapping up business as the planet nears the end of its journey through Pisces. During these past seven-plus years, Uranus has been encouraging us to break out of the expectations and "shoulds" we may have lived with for lifetimes, in favor of following the calling of our soul's higher path. Since the planets are always working to move us from lower vibration to higher...
Horoscope: March 7 to 13, 2011
THE URANUS EFFECT is intensified as the planet of Higher Consciousness and Liberation enters Aries this Friday, March 11th, 2011. Our mental, emotional and physical bodies may take some time to adjust to this new energy. Because of this adjustment phase, at times we may feel expansive and invigorated, at other times a bit overwhelmed or anxious.
We've already gotten some clues as to how this influence might manifest in physical reality, due to Jupiter entering Aries on January 22. Since then, the cries for independence and autonomy around the world have gotten louder,
Horoscope: March 14 to 20, 2011
THE INTENSITY of recent energy shifts is palpable -- and strikingly apparent in our physical reality as well. If current events are accurate reflections of the impact of Uranus in Aries, it seems we have gotten a jump-start on making life-altering changes on our planet and within our global community. It can be difficult to find the positives in catastrophes such as the ones that have occurred in the past few days. And yet...
Horoscope: March 21 to 27, 2011
By the time many of you read today's Journal, the Sun will have moved into Aries, marking the beginning of the astrological New Year (exact ingress on March 20th, at 4:21pm PDT). Of course, we cross this threshhold every year at this time -- but this year, the event is made more powerful because Uranus, the Great Liberator and Manifester of Change, has also just stepped into Aries. This means that...
Horoscope March 28 to April 3, 2011
THE PLANETS are very active this week, continuing to inspire us to make important internal and external shifts. Starting with a Pluto-Sun square on Monday and finishing with a Saturn-Sun opposition on Sunday, we are challenged in various ways -- and almost every day -- to take our game to the next level. We hit the ground running on Monday, with...
Horoscope April 11 to 17 2011
by Pam Younghans.
We start the week with an opportunity to take another look at the new projects that we recently began, or new paths we are just starting to walk. The square between Pluto and Mars indicates a challenge awaits, one that will help us see what inner resistance (or outer obstacles) may need to be overcome as we continue our forward motion. There is a great deal of...
Horoscope January 24 to 30, 2011
THE LAST WEEK of January is already here. It's incredible how quickly time is moving. Challenges and changes initiated during our recent eclipse cycle continue to reverberate through our lives. At times, it feels like the only thing we can do is to hold onto the sides of the kayak as we go through the waves, trusting that we will indeed emerge on the other side and not just disappear into the...
Horoscope February 7 to 13, 2011
WE'RE RIDING a strong wave of Aquarius energy now, a wave that was initiated with the New Moon and Sun-Mars alignment last week. Aquarius is the sign of progressive thinking, independence, idealism, nonconformity and rebellion. As groups and individually, we are making changes now that will allow us to...
Horoscope: February 21 to 27, 2011
NEPTUNE'S ETHEREAL INFLUENCE is emphasized today (Sunday, February 20), as the outer planet aligns with Mars and Mercury in Aquarius. Together, this threesome can help us loosen the reins of control so that we relax into the flow of current changes and allow our higher selves to partner with us in creating our next steps. As part of this process, we are letting go of many things that have defined us to this point, both internally and externally. Paradoxically...

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I ordered these invitations last minute due to the fact that my original printer was slow and not responding to emails and failing to complete my order. Wedding Paper Divas made these and got them to me within 4-5 days. The paper quality was great and I'm so glad I upgraded to the shimmer paper. I've gotten so many compliments on on our invitation paper and design. I tweaked a few things with the wording & design on all three cards- the design person made the proofs and emailed them to me quickly for approval. This was a seamless experience! Thank you again!!"
"I chose this card because I wanted to carry some of the tradition of my heritage into the invitation, without going too far. The simple floral design with red flowers suited well , and the addition of the double happiness character satisfied all family requirements. Overall, a neat and tidy card."
"Was so nervous waiting for my invites to arrive, well all the nerves were for nothing. I opened the package and was so pleased with what I saw. Absolutely beautiful!"
"I really liked the feel and look of the card. It is very simple and elegant. Depending on your wedding, this may be a good choice. Too simple for my tastes. Felt more like a sweet 16 invite than a wedding invite."
"These are perfect! I ordered a number of samples to make sure I would like the invitations in person and they are beautiful! The customer service was also great. I personalized our names in red (our wedding color) and must have changed the wording 5 times. But each time, the design team sent me an online proof to ensure it was exactly how I wanted it."

Unleash the Scientist Within You in 2010 Edinburgh International Science Festival
Celebrating 21 years of show-stopping, eye popping and jaw dropping science, 2010 Edinburgh International Science Festival will be Europe's largest public celebration of science and technology with 26 venues across Edinburgh and beyond. Topics ranging from hot issues of today to predictions of tomorrow, you can get down to see a stream of events that will rip the white coat off science revealing the bizarre, the intriguing and the occasionally mind-blowing.
Meet ASIMO – the world's most advanced humanoid robot, when it visits Scotland for the very first time with its various collections. Scotland's main science festival will showcase a new spin on 'the beautiful game' next month when a kick- about is staged between robots. An all- android football will be one among the main attractions in the Edinburgh science festival which will be hosted in April by the world-leading robotics experts at the university's School of Informatics.
Experts at the Edinburgh university will give an insight to what it takes to make a robot 'bend it like Beckham" before letting the Android FC's finest loose on the pitch. Others will give details about how the latest technology on robots are used to detect human emotions and simple changes in their facial expressions. The event would also take the audience through the process of creating the robots and the progress being made towards having a team of robots stage a proper match against the footballers.
The university's series of events are expected to sale like hot cakes for the two-week festival with guest speakers including the biologist and author Richard Dawkins and psychiatrist Raj Persaud. Between 3-17 April , more than 200 events will be staged at various venues including the National Museum of Scotland and Our Dynamic Earth, the Royal Botanic Garden, the Jam House music venue, the Scotch Whisky Experience and the Filmhouse cinema.
The other main highlights of the festival include the installation of a huge 3D sound chamber at one of the city's best-known beauty spots, premiere of a new play inspired by the latest developments in the genetic engineering and a look at the evolution of heavy metal music. It also explores into the deeper insights of human beings – their darker side- to commit horrific acts of mutilation and murder; an examination into the latest forsenic science techniques that can crack crime cases, what are the concepts or ideas that lead a human to indulge in the seven deadly sins, and the best ways to make artificial blood.
To give the youngsters a chance to explore the science behind what happens when they get a cut or bruise , a "blood bar" is also being installed in the festival's main venue – the City Art Centre.
Many other events like a look at the faulty maths equation that could have triggered the global economic meltdown, a singles night for science buffs, various animation techniques that have been used in the latest computer games and in films like Avatar, and what one can do to try to make a real robot do the same kind of things as well as respond like a human being with a sense of balance, motion and sensitivity.
A stellar collection of the country's best science presenters, filmmakers, performers and comedians, this festival programme is going to be a great collection that will be on par with the very best science festivals in the world.

Product Description
PhotoChances is a program for Windows that will apply random photographic effects to your photos. With a large collection of filters each with many variations, it runs in two modes:
Slideshow: The program will display your digital photos with the effects chosen randomly. You can pause the show at any time and capture the resulting image. The effect used for that particular image will be stored in the saved file and the program will allow you to load and use that same effect on any other image with additional control.
Lab mode: Allows loading the "recipes" of the effects used in any image you captured previously with the program. Then you can choose any target images to apply that effect and save them. There are additional controls to fine-tune the result. The program comes preloaded with an assorted selection of "recipes" (effects) that you can expand with your own captures and the new Random Recipe button will surprise you generating new effects on the image loaded.
Rediscover your old photos. PhotoChances can handle large collections of photographs spread on different folders and optionally show them randomly. You will see photographs you maybe forgot or perhaps discarded.
Inspiration: Find new lines of artistic interpretations of your images, either directly as they come from the program or as working paths. (You can capture the program's output and elaborate it further mixing it by zones with the original)
Build your own collection of effects. As the program generates each instance of the effect with different parameters and on each photo it mixes two effects the combinations are endless.
Your own pictures are your gallery of effects: Each image captured with the program contains the recipe of the filters used. Applying that same recipe to any other image is as easy as dragging it to the program's icon.

Editor's Review
Looking for fun ways to show off or share your digital photos? PhotoChances is a fun Windows program that will show off your photos in a couple of new ways. The first is that PhotoChances will show off your digital photos in a slideshow and will add over a hundred random effects as it displays your pictures. From color changes to fantastic artistic effects, PhotoChances will make your photo much more interesting and make you see new things in even old pictures. When you see something you particularly like you can pause the slideshow and capture the image and effect you want. The effect that created the image will be saved so you create it by design in the future.
The other element of PhotoChances is the "Lab mode" that will allow you to load the recipe directions to the image you captured from your slideshow and you can then apply the same effects on any other digital photos you chose. Then you can use additional options to fine-tune your results or you can apply some of the preloaded effects to photos as well. One fun element of the Lab mode is the "Random Recipe" button that will surprise you with the new effects it applies to the photo you are working with.
PhotoChances is a fun way to explore photo filters and effects without altering your digital photos!

Agriculture and Environment: Beef
Better Management Practices: Less Fat and Leaner Meat
This demand has declined, at least in some areas, and there is now a shift to less fatty meats. Fewer starches from cattle make cattle less prone to developing fatty meats. This means that feed that has less corn and soybeans and more fibrous and woody materials is preferred.
Feed rich in fibres, low on starch
Thus, grasses, canes, and other materials rich in fibres but lower in starches can be increased in the feed. This will tend to result in corresponding changes in land used to produce feeds. Many of these materials can be produced on the farm. This is better for wildlife and wildlife habitat for two reasons.
It reduces the pressure for greater areas to be converted to grain production to feed beef cattle, and it increases the amount of pasture areas seeded with more fibrous or woody year-round grazing plants. Such plants not only reduce soil erosion, they are also better sources of food and habitat for wildlife.
Exercise regularly!Finally, in addition to dietary changes, exercise is key to health and appetite. Exercise promotes more muscled meat as well as healthier animals that get sick less often and require fewer antibiotics, but animals should be worked slowly and quietly.
Crews should use hand signals rather than talking loudly or shouting. Increasing the area of feedlots and rotating feeding in different parts encourages exercise and produces healthier animals. Many of these principles are difficult with a greater number of animals, however.

Grow herbs Sunset climate zones 7–9, 14–17: As soon as frosts are past, plant culinary herbs such as chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, and thyme in a sunny part of the garden.
Plant tomato seeds Zones 7–9, 14–17: Start tomato seeds indoors on a sunny south-facing windowsill early in the month, or about six weeks before the last expected frost. Organically grown seeds of 600 heirloom tomato varieties are available from TomatoFest Garden Seeds. Among site founder Gary Ibsen's favorites for Northern California are pink 'Julia Child', purple-black 'Black Prince' and 'Paul Robeson', red 'Aussie', and yellow-orange 'Kellogg's Breakfast'.
Sow peas and potatoes Zones 7–9, 14–17: These crops like the cool growing conditions of early spring. In coastal areas, plant early in the month. In other areas, plant peas six to eight weeks before theast frost date, and potatoes four to six weeks before the last frost date.
Tend your plot
Apply fertilizer Zones 7–9, 14–17: Almost all plants, including annuals, perennials, trees, and lawns, will appreciate a boost of nitrogen now as spring growth starts, so feed with an all-purpose fertilizer. Wait until azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons have finished blooming before feeding them; then use a formula labeled for acid-loving plants.
Double-dig planting beds To make maximum use of small vegetable planting areas, double-dig and amend the soil with compost so you can grow your plants closer together and water less. See how it's done at Common Ground Organic Garden Supply and Education Center in Palo Alto (class Mar 14; $28; advance registration required; 650/493-6072).
Next: Plant romantic blossoms
Plant rich, romantic blooms
You might do a double take: Are these exotic roses? Miniature peonies? Nope. They're Maché ranunculus. With luscious petals that look like layers of brightly pigmented tissue paper, the 4-inch-wide blooms sit atop sturdy stems and foliage.
They're available in seven colors, including the rose and purple pictured here. Find them as blooming potted plants in 4-inch
containers at nurseries this month and next. Treat Maché like an annual and remove plants when blooms fade, typically as summer

Finland is a Nordic country in northern Europe. It borders Sweden to the west, Russia to the east, and Norway to the north. The capital city is Helsinki. Finland was historically part of Sweden and from 1809 an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire. Finland's declaration of independence in 1917 from Russia was followed by a civil war, wars against the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and a period of official neutrality during the Cold War. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955 and the European Union in 1995. Commercial cruises between major coastal and port cities in the Baltic region, including Helsinki, Turku, Tallinn, Stockholm and Travemünde, play a significant role in the local tourism industry. There are many churches, cathedrals, museums and castles. Olavinlinna in Savonlinna hosts the annual Savonlinna Opera Festival. The capital city of Helsinki, is famous for its Grand Duchy era architecture, which resembles that of imperial St. Petersburg.

in raising the standard of living for the masses?
Soviet apologists usually make 3 claims for why this was the case.
A) Capitalist countries had the advantage of many years of industrialization, while the Soviet Union had to begin from feudal-esque systems present in Russia and Eastern Europe.
B) Capitalists had access to markets in their colonies and neo-colonies.
C) Capitalist countries received investment from their capitalist buddies e.g. Marshal Plan
What Communists et al, are usually trying to say when they make these contentions is that, 1) capitalist nations, like the U.S., were only superior to the USSR because they ''exploited'' the underdeveloped areas of the world, by implementing loyal dictatorships to gain cheap resources, etc. and 2) the only reason the ''bourgeoisie'', and their lackeys in government, focused on investments for raising the standards of living of the masses was to buy the loyalty of the ''proletariat'' in the western capitalist countries.
I'm wondering how people here would respond. Thanks for your time.
Superior in what way? In general economic progress? In that case, I don't think it was, USSR was a country that had massive industrialization and increases in all branches of productivity, that's why it was taken as an example to be looked upon among third world countries.
USSR state capitalism was worse then the western mix between state and laissez faire capitalism in the sense of less authoritarianism, less oppression of the toiling class and less extreme cases of poverty for the poor (e.g. famines that happen even though there is enough agricultural products), yes, but if those are effects of market capitalism or of a different way of government has organized it's laws regarding the workers is a matter of opinion.
South Korea and Japan disproves A quite easily, since their indrustializantion happened much after the one of Soviet Union.
Cuba and North Korea received investements and priveleges from their socialistis buddies, didn't work out that well.
One term: "Economic Calculation", simply the Western Democracies gave their subjects more freedom to perform Economic Calculation than the Soviets did. The results even from the somewhat/mostly socialist democracies advanced humanity. But don't worry, the Russians and Chinese are now allowing their subjects more freedom to perform economic calculation and will both eventually pass most Western Democracies in economic development. Socialism is a restriction on private property by a mob at the point of a gun. It is the antithesis of freedom. Unfortunately even the Democratic version is directly opposed to individual freedom.
And who provided their subjects the greatest freedom: Why England in the 18th and 19th centuries followed by the USA in the second half of the 19th and periodically throughout the 20th.
The Soviet Communists really screwed things up in the Soviet Union.
First there was "war communism", which involved confiscating all agricultural surplus from the peasants. The peasants didn't like that, because they had barely enough to survive on afterwards. So they started producing less and hiding or consuming more of what they already produced. In spite of all that, the Bolsheviks won the Russian Civil War.
Next there was the "New Economic Policy" (NEP). Now only part of the peasants' surplus was demanded from them. The idea was that the taxed produce would be sold by the state to the workers. In turn, the workers would manufacture goods that would be sold by the state to the peasants (along with other workers). This policy was referred to as the smychka or "link" between the proletariat and the peasantry.
The thing about the peasants was that, while the Russian peasant commune typically collectively owned the land it farmed and resided on, each family within it owned what they farmed. They would thus be free to sell any surplus they had. Marxists called this the "petit-bourgeois" tendency of the peasants.
Under the NEP, there was a free market for the peasants to sell their surplus (minus taxes to the Soviet state). Being a free market, prices of commodities sold within it were free to fluctuate. However, this was not the case for the non-agricultural portion of the economy (IIRC). There the prices of commodities were heavily regulated by the Soviet state.
It's no surprise, then, that as agricultural productivity increased, food prices in the free market went down - but prices of industrial commodities remained constant (or even rose) in the face of increasing industrial productivity. This threatened the whole point of the smychka policy. The Communists took some measures to reduce industrial prices, but the so-called "scissors crisis" remained an issue.
By the late 1920s, the Communists were becoming increasingly fearful of an invasion by the Western capitalist powers and subsequent "capitalist restoration" in the Soviet Union. They figured the way to prevent this would be to build up Soviet defense capability to a much higher level. This required a build-up of heavy industry, which in turn required more people to be employed as workers instead of peasants. To make up for the lower number of peasants, agricultural productivity was to be boosted by forced collectivization. This whole effort was to be coordinated by a central plan.
There was another reason for forced collectivization - the Communists were growing increasingly wary of peasants who had become well-to-do from the free peasant market - the so-called kulaks. These peasants tended to keep produce (mainly grain) in reserve so it could be sold at higher prices during lean years. Instead of being thankful to the kulaks because more grain was available during bad harvests, the Communists ultimately classified them as "enemies of the people". Hence the forced collectivization killed two birds with one stone.
The peasants didn't like collectivization, however. Under collectivization, most of their surplus was to be sold to the state at much lower prices than they were getting on the free market. Furthermore, they didn't like how the collectivization was forced. The Soviet state was only barely able to overcome peasant resistance to it, and only then through extremely repressive measures. None of this helped productivity or standard of living in general.
From that point on, the defining feature of the Soviet economic structure was its massive military-industrial complex - proportionally speaking, much more massive than that of the United States. This massive military-industrial complex was a huge hindrance on the rest of the Soviet economy. It seems that both Soviet and Western leaders were aware of this by the early 1960s, if not earlier. It may have helped inspire Eisenhower with his now-famous Farewell Address. Also Khrushchev's effort at reaching détente with the West was spurred by a desire to dismantle the Soviet military-industrial complex and thus reallocate resources toward improving Soviet living standards.
Unfortunately, the most powerful elements of the Western leadership turned out to be those who didn't want détente with the Soviets, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's because they had reason to believe that 1) the massive military-industrial complex would be continued by the Soviet leadership as long as they felt threatened by the West (led by the US) and 2) this massive military-industrial complex was unsustainable and would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Soviet state. As it turns out, they were right on both counts.
The keyboard is mightier than the gun.

By the late 1920s, the Communists were becoming increasingly fearful of an invasion by the Western capitalist powers and subsequent "capitalist restoration" in the Soviet Union. They figured the way to prevent this would be to build up Soviet defense capability to a much higher level. This required a build-up of heavy industry, which in turn required more people to be employed as workers instead of peasants.

Instead of being thankful to the kulaks because more grain was available during bad harvests, the Communists ultimately classified them as "enemies of the people". Hence the forced collectivization killed two birds with one stone.
The point was that industrialization on the scale concieved by the Communists required gigantic investment of capital which the Soviets did not have. Traditionaly capital necessary for industrialization of such a country would flow in from abroad, but that was obviously a non-option for the Soviets. Collectivization is first and foremost how the state, via the aplication of ruthless, colonialist methods of exploitation against the peasantry, went about securing profits for itself on the scale sufficient to build up the industry, while remaining true to the ideal of resisting 'capitalist exploitation'.
Yes that's correct. Thanks for adding that, Marko - it makes explicit what was only implicit in my post. I'll add that the capital in this case was mainly agricultural (surplus food to feed additional workers), at least to begin with.
Just to add a couple things to your excellent write-up Autolykos.
Ike knew very well about the situation in the USSR. His Open Skies initiative was his way of telling the Soviet leadership "We know what's going on in your country... want to know how we are doing?". The U2 (and to a lesser extent RAF) overflights simply confirmed what Ike already knew: the huge military industrial complex in the USSR was not backed by a flourishing economy like the one in the US, but by a really messed up economy.
The US leadership had many ways to keep the Soviets on the edge and pushing them to churn out enormous quantities of armaments. One way was to allow their own citizens to think the USSR was nigh on invincible. If you were alive in the '70s and the '80s you may remember the frequent fabricated "Red Scares", based around statistical figures which, when everybody got to see what was on the other side of the Iron Curtain, sounded like a colossal joke. Two things I remember the most are the figures on cement production and the usual rant and raves about how damn good the Soviet medical system was. At the time I often wondered what in the world were the Soviets doing with such huge quantities of cement. Then I discovered what "planned economy" really means and remembered how damn easy cement is to manufacture. And many of you may not remember this but at the time the press was full of the most enthusiastic comments about the Soviet medical system. Then I learned a curious fact: the two men responsible for both sending Gagarin into space and building the nuclear tipped ICBM's which could wipe out civilization in a matter of minutes, Sergei Korolev and Vladimir Chelomei, both died under incredible circumstances in Soviet hospitals. Kroloev died on the surgical table during a minor operation and Chelomei died of "complications" (infection?) after being hospitalized with a broken leg. Both men had been loaded with titles and medals and both had been taken to the best hospitals in the USSR. If the best doctors in the USSR working with the best equipment available there weren't able to save them, what could the ordinary man in the street expect?
Well, I would respond by pointing out the the communist system isn't really an economic system at all. In fact, it was merely an ill-informed (I would elaborate on this point) critique of capitalism that never introduced any normative proposals and/or reforms. In other words, Marx never explained how a communist society would function; he merely asserted that it would emerge, organically, from the remains of capitalism (the same way that capitalism replaced feudalism). Communism therefore, was just an inefficient form of capitalism in many respects, defined by weaker institutions, perverse incentive structures, and arbitrarily manipulated (in many cases, eliminated) information signals.
But I would probably highlight that (a), (b) and (c) don't explain the development of northeast Asian nation's such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, et al.
"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."
Marko:That's giving them an awful lot of credit, assuming such cleverness on their part. Would these be the same people who were taken totally by surprise by the dissolution of the USSR? So the military-industrial complex in the US wasn't there for its own sake, but to give a reason to its Soviet counterpart to exist and to expand on the bet it will ultimately lead to the downfall of the Soviet state. The US arms build up wasn't meant to arrive at US superiority in arms, but to make certain the Soviets would build lots of weapons themselves. Actually the state of the military-industrial complex in the US since the dissolution of the Soviet Union would imply its existence and activity was not for the sake of the Soviet military-industrial complex.
For some reason I completely forgot about this when I wrote that post. While some people probably thought the Soviet military-industrial complex was or might be unsustainable, given the nature of their economy and government, most of them apparently didn't care that much about it. Either way, a lot of people wanted to take advantage of the Soviet efforts to keep up with the West to boost the military-industrial complex over here. When the Soviet Union finally did collapse, they scrambled for new raisons d'etre for that, instead of shifting resources to other endeavors. Those who may have wanted to push the Soviet Union to collapse by keeping up the arms race may have done so only so the US would acquire an even greater amount of hegemony.
Thanks for challenging me on what I wrote.

"Easy to setup.... NOT!"
2.0 starson by _singo79Pros: This router is perfect for those with no idea on how to customise a router to do all things you expect it to do out of the box.
The UI steps them through procedures and makes it easier, but not too easy for an average person to be able to set it up.Cons: Wasn't easy to set up at all. I'm using a Netgear DM111P ADSL2+ modem. Instructions are inadequate to get you on the net if you have anything beyond a basic setup.
Summary: This router is nothing like I expected. It certainly doesn't qualify as a top of the range router, given that it hardly performs any better then my old Linksys WRT610N.
The setup disc and the instructions were useless to me, as my setup must be something out of the ordinary. I don't know why that would be, but it refused to recognise my ADSL modem and couldn't get me on the Internet.
After a number of hours of mucking around with settings in the ADSL modem and the EA6500 I finally got the two to place nice together, but it was far more difficult then Linksys would have you believe and far more harder then setting up my original WRT610N.
I have also found that the wireless performance on 2.4GHz and 5GHz in the 802.11g/h bandwidths to be on par, but no better than the WRT610N. Though, since I don't own any 802.11ac devices yet the product may come into its own there, but the vast amount of devices using 802.11a/b/g/n have not gotten any faster speeds using this device.
I am pretty disappointed with the EA6500 and in hindsight I would have stayed with the WRT610N, but sadly that router gave up the ghost after many reliable years of service. I don't hold many hopes for this device or place it in the same league as the WRT610N.
Do your research before buying this router and make sure you weigh up all the pros and cons before laying out your hard earned cash for this device.

PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs Class
Provides data for the ListView.PagePropertiesChanging event.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web.Extensions (in System.Web.Extensions.dll)
The PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs | Initializes a new instance of the PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs class. |
Name | Description | |
MaximumRows | Gets the maximum number of items to display on each page of data. | |
StartRowIndex | Gets the index of the first item of the page. |
Name | Description | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The ListView control raises the ListView.PagePropertiesChanging event whenever the ListView.SetPageProperties method is called. This occurs when a button in a DataPager control that is associated with the ListView control is clicked, and a new ListView.StartRowIndex or ListView.MaximumRows value is specified by the DataPager control. This enables you to provide a custom routine whenever this event occurs, such as clearing the SelectedIndex or EditIndex properties of the ListView control.
A PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs object is passed to the event handler. This object enables you to determine the index of the first item in the page that was selected by the user. You can also determine the maximum number of items to display on each page.
For more information about how to handle events, see Consuming Events.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of the PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs class, see the PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs constructor.

Great Thorlo socks...
By: Ambitious_Sloth
As most people have experienced and will tell you, there's nothing more uncomfortable than having your feet be overheating. It feels horrible, and it makes you want to tear the socks you have on that are making your feet overheat. These Thorlo socks don't have that problem. I finally don't have to worry about the comfort of my feet as I've had no problems with these except one. I found this sock more uncomfortable in texture than others as it is rough.

I just want to clarify a few things, I understand people fear the "AR15 Assault rifle" Eyeryone who owns one is owning a machine gun used by the military...Reality is the AR-15 is a semi automatic rifle, if you have a"Compliant" AR-15 it has a "Bullet Button" to remove the magazine, that means a tool has to be inserted to release the magazine, a 10 rounder I must add. Not everyone who has an AR-15 is Rambo, nor do they wish to be. Almost everyone who learned to shoot, learned on a .22 rifle beacuse it is saffe for kids to shoot...By the way a .22 bullet is .222 in size an Ar-15 fires a .224 bullet 2 one thousandths large, many .223 bullets are nearly the same weight as a .22 bullet.
Many shooters shoot .223 AR-15 for long range accuracy, the ballistics on a .223 is flat for 200 yards. Oh and as for Banning Firearms with a magazine capacity of more than 10, I guess I will surely miss the Marlin model 60 rifle, it's tubular magazine holds 18 rounds. Goodbye old friend.
I believe the thing that scares most people of the Ar-15 is it's looks, it is black and has all these accessories you can attach, Oh if you want to see a much less scary rifle I would look at the Ruger Mini 14 , surely with it's wood stock and normal appearance it shouldn't scare anyone, It is the AR-15's first cousin so to say, .223 removable magazine.
To conclude, now with the impending ban, there have been more AR-15's sold and more ammo sold in the last week, than in months, Oh and to the preppers, apparently the Myans were wrong, here it is Dec. 22, and I am writing this letter.
God Bless, and be safe out there, also hug your children and grandchildren.

NAHBS: Beginning the Debrief
This is my favorite shot from the show. This is Mark DiNucci, a true god of frame building giving a pat to his heir-apparent, Chris Bishop. The thrill on Bishop's face is more than apparent and the esteem which DiNucci offered was truly sincere. Bishop didn't just get a nod from DiNucci, Peter Johnson, the greatest frame builder you've never heard of, said he plans to mentor the upstart.
When I think of the many consumer events that have been organized for cyclists, I mostly think of events that failed after, at most, three years. It's not that they weren't good events, that they didn't bring together interesting people. It's that they didn't bring together the dedicated cyclists who will make or break an event. Don Walker, I'm here to tell you, is an unheralded genius. The seventh edition of the North American Handmade Bicycle Show hosted more than 8000 attendees, a record for NAHBS and, I suspect, any U.S.-based consumer bike show. Had you seen the line out the door of people waiting to buy tickets on Saturday you could be forgiven for thinking Don Walker was selling kisses with Taylor Swift.
Okay, that said, I'm going to keep this real. Very real. Don gets criticized for a great many things. He has a very specific view of what the show ought to be. Some folks think he needs to loosen up, take a chill pill. What people need to keep in mind is that NAHBS is what it is because it wasn't designed by committee. It's the brainchild of one very particular guy. That's how entrepreneurs work. They dream stuff up and make them happen. Inventions are not the products of focus groups. So Don needs to be credited with making happen a bunch of people just talked about for years.
Let's say that again: Don actually made this happen.
This Cherubim was given Best in Show. For obvious reasons.
Yep, there are people who want the event to be different than it is. They want it to be friendlier, have more drinking, have more riding, have clearer criteria for the awards judging, have more volunteers so the builders don't have to leave their booths to deliver a bike to judges, and have other, non-Don-organized events be a part of the official, sanctioned buffet of events that are part of the weekend. The dissonance is because well-meaning folks want Don's brainchild to be even better, but their suggestions sound to Don like bashing. Constructive criticism is hard to deliver. And when the intended listener isn't accustomed to hearing it from ham-fisted delivery boys, the experience isn't much fun. Don is like a great many sensitive artistic types, and a bit thin-skinned—not that I've ever rented from that suite. I'm aware that people have trashed the event from time to time, including one popular blogger. How anyone can dislike the event is beyond my ken. If you step back and look at the bigger picture, it's easy to see that the event brings together many of the best frame builders practicing the craft. To collect that many passionate craftsmen in a single location is no small achievement and the opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to speak with some of the best out there is an opportunity rarer than a blue moon.
Following two years at less-than-exciting venues (Indiana and Virginia), Don has hit two consecutive home runs with Austin and Sacremento. It may be that his awareness of the need to draw cyclists from nearby metro areas may be contributing to the show's increased success. Next year's venue—Denver—would seem to reinforce that view.
The junction of head tube, stem, top tube and … well, that other bit that isn't quite top tube made for a truly exceptional-looking bike.
The only criticism I could possibly level at the show is that he has suffered some erosion of previous top-tier exhibitors. While I did see a Vanilla, Sacha White wasn't there, nor were Peter Weigle or Hampsten. What's significant in this is that Sacha was one of the "original six." Don may need to hire a salesman trained in customer retention.
Everyone's favorite question of the show was, "Are you having a good time?" It's a bit like asking the president of the United States if he feels powerful. He better. I had a terrific time and didn't hesitate to tell people there was no place I'd rather be. To put my enthusiasm in perspective, I used my experience at Interbike in the mid-1990s as an example. Back then, tubing suppliers Reynolds and Nova Cycle Supply bought significantly large booths; if memory servers, they were on the order of 10×30. And beyond displays of their tubing, they would have racks displaying the work of their frame builder customers.
The seat mast design of this bike left little room from saddle adjustment. The builder had to have a high level of confidence for the fit.
I spent way too much time in their booths. I mean, I was sometimes late to appointments because I spent so much time hanging out there geeking out over the frames shown by acknowledged masters like Weigle and Carl Strong.
But here's the thing: The quality of the worst work at this year's NAHBS was better than most of the work I saw in those displays. The overall quality of work by frame builders displaying at NAHBS is extraordinary. Don's enduring legacy in the bike industry will not be as a frame builder; it will be for his work in uniting the community of frame builders with an event that helped to elevate their craft and make these guys rock stars, even if only for a weekend. His work to help promote the work of these guys has resulted in countless orders that would otherwise have been sales to Trek, Specialized or Giant. Those guys will be fine, but an extra 10 sales per year for one of these news guys can make or break a year. A career.
The seat cluster from a fillet-brazed frame by Dave Kirk.
I was asked to be a judge for the awards this year. It was a request I accepted with some honor and an acute sense of responsibility. The experience was challenging while ultimately leaving me feeling rewarded. That said, there were frustrations when there were simply more bikes than could be recognized. The naked, fillet-brazed frame submitted by Dave Kirk was one of those bikes that deserved even greater recognition than it received. A "naked" bike, such as this really gives you the opportunity to see just how symmetrical the brazing is; there's no hiding bad or even mediocre work. I felt badly that this bike escaped without a nod. Similarly, there was a gorgeous mountain bike submitted by Independent Fabrication that would have been an instant winner in most other circumstances but when pitted against the hand-pinstripped work on a Vendetta track bike, it went home empty-handed. Ouch.
Fewer than 1 in 10 frames I see with hand-painted details measure up; this Vendetta was truly memorable.
If you've never attended NAHBS and have any sort of affinity for hand made frames, you owe it to yourself to go, even if just once, and see the quality of this work. And, if you have a significant other who doesn't get your love of bicycles, take them. Really. I caught a great many scraps of conversations between bike geeks and their wives and girlfriends who appreciated the artistry of the bikes on display. Witnessing non-bikies digging bikes gave me a huge smile.
The Irony of Craft
In what counts for spare time I've got two book proposals I've been working on. One of them concerns frame builders. My online column for peloton, called Artisans, is meant to be background research for many of the builders I believe will be the subjects of the book. If you've never checked it out, you should drop by and read a few here.
Recently, I was on the phone with one of the legends of frame building. We got to talking about the dream that leads one to want to become a frame builder. I've always enjoyed talking to frame builders. They have that feel of brother-of-a-different-mother to me. The work is solitary, creative, essentially commercial in nature and requires simple acts to be repeated thousands of times to hone one's craft. After a while, they find they begin exploring arcane ideas about heat, silver, steel. At a certain level, writing is no different. I find myself thinking about verbs and the relative evil of sentimentality.
The builder I was speaking to told me how he had dreamt that being a frame builder was like being a shop keeper, such as a tailor. You show up in the morning, open up, work a full day, then close up and head home. But the idea was that working alone was meant to foster craft and remove the need to crank out production-style work. He believed that working alone was the key to being able to perform artisanal work. But that's not all: When he was starting out, he had a belief that most of the builders who weren't employed by the big companies like Colnago worked in exactly that manner.
By the time he found out that wasn't the case, he'd already been building on his own for a few years. What I've learned of most of the European shops is that their priorities were shifted toward maximizing efficiency to increase output. Most of the builders I've spoken to working in the U.S. in the 1970s and '80s favored limited output so they could focus on quality. Indeed contract builders were common in Italy. There were some who kept a stock of their clients' decals around for when they came calling.
What American builders—and consumers—seem to struggle to appreciate is that to most of the builders working in Europe up through the '80s and '90s is that the bicycle frame was a commodity rarely separated by more than paint and decals. Branding and identity were the province of paint, decals and sponsorship. That is, you could put Colnago paint and decals on any bike and—ergo—it was a Colnago. There wasn't a belief that anything beneath the paint could be terribly special.
When you consider those early builders here in the U.S., that is the group that really helped put frame building on the map here in the 1970s, guys like Albert Eisentraut, Richard Sachs, Peter Weigle, Ben Serotta and Brian Baylis, they each epitomized that ideal of the solitary craftsman, at least early on. Nevermind the fact that Eisentraut and Serotta never really made a career of working alone, that romanticized notion of the shopkeeper craftsman that inspired many of them—and most of today's builders as well—is largely a fiction.
This idealized vision held by a handful of American builders of just what the life and purpose of a one-man frame shop is is largely responsible for the state of frame building in the U.S. and even around the world. The example set by Sachs, Weigle and other one-man shops is directly responsible for the influx of guys like Sacha White of Vanilla and David Wages of Ellis. The irony is that Sachs and Weigle weren't really responding to a tradition; they were inventing one.
Relationship counselors are in the business of reminding us that when we enter a relationship we rarely see the object of affection as they are. We see them as we want them to be. Think about that a second. Is there a better demonstration of a love of craft than setting out to be an artisan as part of a grand tradition that exists only in your mind?
Builder Brand
Some years back during an excruciating romantic entanglement the object of my endurance railed against coworkers who she sniped performed only the work they found easy. When I mentioned the nature of competency is to veer toward those acts we do well I suffered for it.
But that's the nature of a career, in a nutshell. We find work that we do with competence, maybe later, mastery. Becoming good at something causes the brain to release reward chemicals so that our proficiency becomes a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. We do it over and over because it feels good to be good at something. And frankly, employers may sometimes want more, but they never want less.
The dream of the average frame builder is to be the torch set's version of a one-man band. The fantasy most hold is one of days spent with the trade's tools in hand. If not a torch, then a file. The reality is that what's in hand is as often a phone, a pen or a mouse.
The pressure of being a sole proprietorship forces questions of profit and loss, fixed costs and production rate—details as unromantic as toilet paper, yet no less necessary. But even a mastery of the tasks necessary to run a successful business won't it make.
Brand. For all the passion, technical wizardry and expert work I saw at NAHBS, the detail that united most of the builders there was a lack of branding.
Some years back a builder I was interviewing complained that his bikes didn't get the same air time as those of Richard Sachs. My reply was less than sympathetic. I said, "Yeah."
"Well how come."
"I called you."
"So what's the problem?"
"Richard calls me. Any time he calls me, he has something to show me."
While I thought the message was clear, the builder's profile rose not one stitch. I've never seen a T-shirt with his logo. His low output is at times the butt of jokes by other builders.
Sacha White has paid attention. He anted Sachs and then raised. Branding isn't a cool logo. It's not just your logo on T-shirts and tchotchkes. It's more than a good graphic designer.
There's no way to deconstruct how a pink grenade conveys speed, style and lust, but it does all of those things, and more. Further, my sense of what his brand stands for is just that: my sense. Because it's my emotional connection to what he does, it doesn't even matter if my perception is different from yours if both are favorable. Done well, most folks will get the same impression, even if not everyone ends up liking it. After all, no one gets loved by everyone.
I kept wandering by the Vanilla booth at NAHBS, partly because I just liked the booth, partly because it was near other stuff I liked (though the same could be said of every booth at NAHBS) and partly because it had a lively atmosphere with an ever-revolving cast of characters. In short, it was a good place to be. And though I'm not a coffee drinker, I know they were serving good stuff. I know this because of the coffee snobs who stopped by for a fix.
That Sachs and White both have waits that are measured not in months, but in years, has generated both gasps of respect and amazement as well as eye-rolling dismissal. As if all those customers were schmucks for their willingness to wait, when they could buy … well what would they be buying?
And that's the thing. There were a great many beautiful bikes there. Strip the paint off all of them and the number of truly stellar bikes might surprise you. One of my very favorite builders there, a guy whose impact on road bikes can be felt in lug design and geometry—to this day—showed bikes of such ordinary appearance I don't think I could buy one.
A bike should be stylish in my eyes. It should be something that unavoidably short-circuits my brain to associate its lines, its graphics with my sense of fun on the road. A glimpse of the fork should make me dream of descending some mountain. If, instead, I find myself thinking, "I should have sent it to someone else for paint," then the joke is on me.
Say what you will, but a wait list is a bold-face confirmation of connection with admirers, admirers who became clients.
At the very least, most builders would benefit from the creation of an internal style guide. Any time I see a powder blue so light it looks like a faded duck egg, I know it's a Speedvagen. And that hot pink? Well, since I stopped seeing Serottas in that color, Sacha has cornered the market. Even without a full-blown style guide, builders would do well to develop a signature color palette. The point isn't to be hard-nosed about the appearance of their bikes; rather most would benefit from having a few colors that could announce the presence of their bike even when it's moving too fast to read the decal.
Builders: Give us more to look at than just your bikes. Give us a window into your passions, your quirks, your whimsy. Give us a way to connect with you beyond just the frame. Be personal. Take a stand. Embrace risk.
Be yourself and we'll love you even more.
NAHBS: Day Two Portraits
I shot more than 200 images today yesterday and there's no way to both upload all of them now AND sleep tonight. So I've selected a group of portraits I shot. They were fun and the subjects delightful. Or maybe they are delightful and the subjects were fun. Regardless, as tired as I was when the show ended today, I didn't really want to walk out.
Leading off the set is Sacha White of Vanilla, who I caught while he was making a small adjustment to my favorite booth of the show.
Jay SyCip, who manages Chris King's Cielo program.
Jeremy SyCip, these days the one-man show behind Santa Rosa's SyCip Cycles.Mike DeSalvo of DeSalvo Cycles relaxing during a calm moment.The ever practical Carl Strong; Carl's aesthetic looks for function long before it seeks beauty. As a result, his frames are austere, but warm to the business end of the peloton.
Even if we never remembered Don Walker's famous fillet-brazed frames, as the organizer of NAHBS, his place in the frame building world would be assured. If he wasn't doing NAHBS, he'd be doing more frames.

The 40-year-old Chico man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting 11 victims in the south campus area of the California State University, Chico, pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of kidnapping, assault with intent to commit a felony, and rape with special allegations in Butte County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Police arrested Lonnie Scott Keith on Saturday following a traffic stop around 3:30 a.m. in the south campus area.
Keith is employed as a physician's assistant at Oroville Medical Center and Enloe Occupational Health, is married and has four children, police reported.
The Chico Police Department said over an 18-month period, between August 2011 and October, 11 attacks involving kidnapping, attempted kidnappings and sexual assaults were reported to have occurred on the university campus. The two most recent reported attacks took place in September and October.
Victims told police a man forced them into the back seat of a dark colored sedan or larger SUV and injected them with an unknown sedative-type substance.
Two victims described the interior of the suspect's vehicles as having blankets or sheets covering the windows in the back of the vehicle, said police.
Victims reportedly described the suspect as wearing latex-type gloves and a nylon stocking-type mask over his face and binding their hands and feet with plastic zip ties and covering their eyes with tape.
Chico police said when they made the traffic stop on Keith's vehicle they saw the rear passenger compartment had blankets and bedding partially covering the windows.
Keith reportedly consented to a search during which police said they also located two syringes loaded with an unknown clear substance, latex gloves, several nylons, adhesive tape strips, and inside a concealed compartment under the front passenger seat, metal handcuffs and leg restraints, zip ties, syringes, and vials of prescription sedative drugs.
Police also located a flashlight and stun gun unit and looped zip ties in the trunk of the vehicle.
Along with the vehicle Keith was driving on Saturday, police said they seized and will process for evidence a dark-colored sedan and dark colored SUV the suspect sold in December.
The department states there is DNA evidence associated with several of the reported attacks.
There is an additional investigation being conducted by the Butte County Sheriff's Office regarding a similar type of incident in its jurisdiction. Keith remains in the Butte County Jail on $3,200,000 bail.
