2000 Expedition XLT 4WD - Great, except................ by An MSN Autos Consumer on 07/19/2011. Trim: 2000 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: This is my favorite vehicle I've owned. I bought it new in 2000 and it just recently turned over 100,000. Both the exterior and interior have held up very well; the truck doesn't look 5 years old, let alone 10+. It has the Sports appearance package which only available in 2000, which makes it look different than most of the other Expeditions from that period. It handles well for what it is, and has plenty of power. I regularly tow a 7,000 lb trailer with it without any problems.
Cons: Although the overall design and execution are great; there are some serious & expensive design flaws. One is the Triton engine's tendency to launch spark plugs. I had one launched and it cost nearly $1000 to repair at the Ford dealership. I recenlty lost the rear differential and that was nearly $2,000 to repair at the dealership. Once it was repaired, it turns out the front diff is whinning but the whine from the rear was much worse and so was masking it. I've never had to have a diff repaired in any other vechilce I've owed and to have both go bad in this one is ridiculous; especially since I take good care of my vehicles & don't abuse them.
Overall review: I really like this vehcile and plan on keeping it. Hopefully the money I'm putting into both diffs will pay off and I'll get another 100k out of them. The spark plug launching is a major concern to me, not only due to potential repair costs but the loss of reliability since breakdowns always seem to happen when you're in the middle of nowhere or at very inconvenient times.

The Emergency Medical Hologram, intended as a temporary backup in the sick bays of Star Trek ships, had a standard greeting: "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." But what about medical emergencies of real astronauts?
A rash of illnesses and deaths linked to suspected drug overdoses at electronic music events in recent months will mean increased vigilance at Montreal's upcoming ÎleSoniq festival, officials have confirmed.
A 54-year-old man broke both his legs Wednesday night after getting them caught in a shredding machine at a South Shore recycling plant.
A few weeks ago, my wife woke up with the right side of her face swollen and hard and her skin hot to the touch.
MONTREAL — A collision between a motorist and a semi-trailer truck in the South Shore Tuesday night resulted in the death of a 46-year-old man. The accident happened on Nobel Rd., in the community of St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, about 35 kilometres from Montreal.
Re: "A critical need for better ambulance service" (Editorial, July 16) This is an excellent editorial about the substandard level of the pre-hospital emergency medical care across Quebec. Sadly, there have been many excellent editorials over the decades just like this one.
Up until now, I thought that ER wait times were somewhat reasonable, taking into consideration that ERs are understaffed. This is all a matter of interpretation. My ordeal began with a 40-minute wait to see the triage nurse, was followed by a 16-hour wait to be placed in a cabin to see a doctor, a 50-minute wait in the cabin to see a doctor followed by a 7-hour wait in the orthopedic ER to see a doctor. The total wait time was almost 24 hours.
Public health authorities suspect the worst might be over for Montreal's deadly heroin "outbreak" this summer, but are nevertheless remaining vigilant as a much more potent form of the drug continues to be available on the streets.
As paramedics in Quebec threaten pressure tactics, their current round of contract negotiations has highlighted a number of urgent problems with ambulance service in Montreal and Laval particularly, that require an urgent response from the government, but may mean users of the service could have to dig into their pockets to assure timely care.
Gerald Riley's wife called 911 three times before an ambulance showed up when he suffered an acute heart attack in February 2013.
Montreal police rescued a baby who had been left alone in a car at the Rockland shopping centre in Town of Mount Royal on Thursday afternoon.
A spokesperson for Quebec Health Minister Gaétan Barrette said he has had no formal requests for a meeting from Urgences-Santé paramedics, despite their ultimatum this week they will begin pressure tactics unless a meeting is set up.
The mayor of Laval is "satisfied" with ambulance service in his city, despite claims the island is often left without any ambulances on its territory.
Re: "Montreal, Laval paramedics vote in favour of pressure tactics" (Gazette Online, July 9) Paramedics are simply asking for the means to better serve the public. Who is better than those who work in the field to know what is necessary to protect and save citizens in distress?
The city of Laval is "regularly" left without an ambulance on its territory, say paramedics at Urgences-Santé.
WITH VIDEO: A 41-year-old motorclist died Wednesday morning when he hit a dump truck turning into a construction site.
Nearly a year has passed since the devastating derailment and explosion that claimed lives and created catastrophic damage to the community of Lac-Mégantic. As Lac-Mégantic slowly rebuilds, it is with great sadness that we remember those who tragically lost their lives and recommit to our collective resolve to prevent such tragic events from happening again.
Re: "Our health service needs advanced care paramedics" (Opinion, July 3) How sad that once again the citizens of this province will lose another health-care professional because our politicians can't seem to join the 21st century, like every one else. We are so behind the times that many suffer irreparable health conditions and worse, many die prematurely because we simply cannot convince any government in power to make improvements to our system. Our current Liberal government is tackling from top to bottom the excessive management levels. When will they adopt the use of advanced care paramedics and specialized nurses to improve a patient's chances for a full recovery and, most important, save more lives?
The decision last month by paramedics in Montreal and Laval to invoke pressure tactics against Urgences Santé to protest against the lack of ambulance resources is just one part of a larger problem with ambulance services in this province.
As we await the opening of the new McGill University Health Centre, it would be interesting to know its mission statement, the clientele it will serve and who will have access to the hospital. Will there be an emergency department? Who can go there? What clinics/services will be in the hospital? Will patients from outside of the immediate hospital vicinity benefit from the care offered in this hospital? Will patients from outside of Montreal benefit from its services?

Police Seeing Rise In Camaro, Firebird, Trans Am Thefts
The Slidell Police Department wants all owners of these type vehicles to be aware that there is a person or a group of people that have targeted theses vehicles.
Since October, 2008 nine vehicles have been stolen within the city limits of Slidell. The city is not the only area being targeted by these thieves. Other parts of the metro area have seen an increase in Thefts and Attempted Thefts of these style vehicles.
So far the thieves have stolen five Chevy Camaros, two Firebirds and one Trans Am. To date only two of the vehicles have been recovered a 2002 Chevy Camaro and a 2010 Chevy Camaro. The 2002 Chevy Camaro's frame was recovered several months later on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. With the assistance of OnStar the 2010 Camaro was recovered later the same day in New Orleans East.
In one case a Grey 2002 Pontiac Firebird was stolen in February of 2009 from the 100 block of Queens Lane. The next morning the vehicle was recovered not far from where it was stolen from. Then on March 17, 2009 the same vehicle was again stolen, it has not yet been recovered.
Most of the vehicles have been stolen from large parking lots with only three being stolen from the owner's driveway.
To combat these crimes Chief Drennan has appointed Detective Jeff Theriot to the Metro Areas Auto Theft Task Force. The task force is made up of Officers from, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, the Louisiana State Police and New Orleans Police. The New Orleans Police Department is the lead agency for the Task Force.
Having such a close relationship with these agencies allows for information to be shared on a daily bases. The Task Force is very proactive in its fight against these crimes. The Task Force has used a wide range of techniques, such as the use of "Bait Cars" and License Plate Recognition Systems. Also helping in the fight are vehicle locating systems, such as On-Star and LoJack.
Chief Drennan hopes that informing the community about this problem will increase awareness and possibly encourage people to come forward with information about these crimes. Citizens can also take some easy steps to protect themselves from being a victim of auto theft, by securing their vehicles, park in a well lit area that is possibly covered by surveillance cameras.
Don't leave valuables in plain view inside your vehicle, place these items in the trunk or remove them. The use of an audible or visible theft deterrent device is also recommended. There are also several systems on the market that can be installed on your vehicle that allows the vehicle to be tracked or immobilized should it be stolen, such as OnStar and Lojack.
Anyone with information or questions about these thefts can contact Detective Jeff Theriot at 985-646-4347 or by email at email@example.com. As always CrimeStoppers can be called with information about these crimes at 1-877-903-7867 or 504-822-1111, you do not have to give your name and you could be eligible for a cash reward.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

"The Buyback Party Is Over" - Albert Edwards Warns The "Market Is Now Running On Fumes"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 12:51 -0400
"two landmark firsts have occurred only recently, with the S&P500 breaking above 2,000 and the 10y bund yield breaking below 1%. Our Ice Age thesis has long called for sub-1% bond yields and I see this extending to the US and UK in due course. It is the equity markets where I have been consistently surprised. QE has been an essential driver for the equity market, providing the fuel for the heavy corporate bond issuance being used for share buybacks. Companies themselves have been the only substantive buyers of equity, but the most recent data suggests that this party is over and as profits also stall out, the equity market is now running on fumes." - Albert Edwards

(Un)Comfortable Myths About High Yield DebtSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 10:47 -0400
There rarely seems to be a "reason" for why market crashes happen. Market observers are e.g. debating to this day what actually "caused" the crash of 1987. It is in the nature of the beast that once liquidity evaporates sufficiently that not all bubble activities can be sustained at once any longer, bids begin to become scarce in one market segment after another. Eventually, they can disappear altogether – and sellers suddenly find they are selling into a vacuum. Once this happens, the usual sequence of margin calls and forced selling does the rest. Risk premiums normalize abruptly, and there doesn't need to be an obvious reason for this to happen. Compressed risk premiums can never be sustained "forever".

The Market Reacts To The Fed's MinutesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 14:49 -0400
The USD is soaring after somewhat hawkish Fed Minutes (up 1% this week) - pushing up towards critical resistance at 1-year highs. Treasury yields slammed 3-4bps higher and are holding those losses (30Y up 11bps this week). High yield credit is at the worst levels of the day as stocks retrace gains towards record highs. WTI crude jumped 1% on the minutes, back above $96 as gold slipped modestly back below $1290. Stocks, having kneejerked lower (below VWAP) have been ripped back higher by a VIX-slamming algo that decided that FOMC uncertainty is exactly the signal to buy certainty.

Market Roulette: Dimes On Black, Dynamite On RedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/18/2014 16:49 -0400
The stock market is presently a roulette wheel with dimes on black and dynamite on red... The 'buy the dip' mentality can introduce periodic recovery attempts even in markets that are quite precarious from a full cycle perspective. Galbraith reminds us that the 1929 market crash did not have observable catalysts: "the crash did not come – as some have suggested – because the market suddenly became aware that a serious depression was in the offing... for it is in the nature of a speculative boom that almost anything can collapse it."

Risk On After Ukraine's "Convoy Shelling" Hoax ForgottenSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/18/2014 07:07 -0400
Friday's main event, Ukraine's alleged attack of a Russian military convoy, has come and gone, and as we mused on Friday has promptly faded into the memory of all other fabricated headlines released by the country engaged in a major civil war and an even more major disinformation war. To be sure, Germany's DAX has recovered virtually all losses, US futures are up about 9 points, and the 10 Year is back to 2.37%. One wonders what algo-slamming headline amusement Ukraine has in stock for us today, although anyone hoping for a quick "de-escalation" (there's that word again) will have to wait following yesterday's meeting of Russian, Ukraine, German and French ministers in Berlin where Russia's Lavrov said he saw no progress on Ukraine cease-fire, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says in Berlin, adding that a cease-fire should be unconditional.

US High Yield Inflows Trickle Back But European Stock & Bond Redemptions SurgeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/15/2014 21:13 -0400
High yield mutual funds and ETFs reported a small $0.71bn inflow (of knife catchers) last week (ending on August 13th) after four straight weeks of outflows including a record $6.7bn outflow in the prior week. As BofAML notes, the turn in flows follows a strong rebound in high yield bond prices (drop in spreads), which (before the Ukraine news) had reversed more than half of the losses incurred in July. However, European high-yield funds saw further significant outflows, $3bn more compared to $4bn last week and European equities saw massive outflows. Furthermore, modest equity inflows hide the fact that the only buyer of stocks in the US remain corporates (buybacks) as institutional sellers dominate.

German Stocks Give Up Week's Gains As Bund Yields Plunge To Record LowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/15/2014 11:47 -0400
News of the Ukrainian destruction of part of a Russian military convoy sent European stocks (and bond yields) plunging. German DAX futures lost all the gains from the US close last Friday as 2Y bonds closed at -1bps and 10Y bunds at a record low 96bps. European equity indices all lost significant ground on the news today but generally held on to some gains on the week. Peripheral bond spreads pressed wider today but ended the week lower (Spain -5bps, Portugal -25bps). High yield spreads jumped over 20bps on the news. Europe's VIX soared over 20 today (from 16 earlier).

14 Reasons Why The U.S. Economy's Bubble Of False Prosperity May Be About To BurstSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/14/2014 20:50 -0400
The record-breaking outflows in high-yield bonds are not the only indication that the U.S. economy could be on the verge of very hard times. Retail sales are extremely disappointing, mortgage applications are at a 14 year low and growing geopolitical storms around the world have investors spooked. For a long time now, we have been enjoying a period of relative economic stability even though our underlying economic fundamentals continue to get even worse. Unfortunately, there are now a bunch of signs that this period of relative stability is about to end.

Just The Right Amount Of Bad Overnight News To Ramp Global EquitiesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/13/2014 07:10 -0400
If it was crashing German business confidence yesterday setting the somber mood for European economic "growth" in the second half, with a European GDP decline if not outright contraction now almost practically inevitable, then overnight it was disappointing data from virtually every other spot in the globe (and Europe again) to hammer the message in, starting with a historic 6.8% drop in Japanese GDP driven by a record plunge in consumption, quickly followed by total social financing out of China which in aggregate rose by only RMB273.1bn in July, or just 18% of what was expected, with missing industrial production and retail sales just the cherry on top. Then it was Europe's turn again, where June Industrial Production contracted -0.3% on expectations of a 0.4% increase, to set the stage for tomorrow's Eurozone GDP print which, following Italy's triple-drip recession shocker last week, probably means it will be not only Japan but also Europe which are about to have taken a sharp move for the worse. All of which of course, explains why just as Europe opened, the USDJPY blasted off and took both EuroSTOXX and US equity futures higher with it, and at last check ES was some 10 higher.

3 Year Auction Prices At Lowest Yield Since April, Bid To Cover Tumbles To June 2013 LevelSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2014 13:11 -0400
There was some doubt, when the 3 Year auction priced at 0.992% or the highest since May 2011, if the August auction would finally see 3Y paper pricing wide of 1%. It did not: in fact, with a When Issue of 0.93%, the auction priced through moments ago, at a high yield of 0.924%, surprisingly the lowest level since April. The internals were somewhat more exciting, with the Bid to Cover dropping to just 3.04, the lowest coverage since June of 2013, which as the only BTC with a 2-handle going back all the way to 2010. As for the takedown, Indirects were largely unchanged at 36.2%, just below the 38.2% last month, offset by a jump in Directs from 12.7% to 19.0%, both in line with average, which meant that Dealers were left holding just 44.8% of the final allocation, the lowest since February.

Enough Bad News Overnight To Send Futures Higher On Turbo TuesdaySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2014 07:09 -0400
If the global equity "markets" were in need of a sharp "horrible news is great news" boost overnight, it came courtesy of Germany's ZEW investor confidence survey, which printed at a stunning 8.6, a plunge from the 27.1 in July and far below the 17.0 expected - the lowest print since December 2012 -largely suggesting that a European triple-dip is all but assured. And if that wasn't enough, strong language from John Kerry, assured to fan the flames of geopolitical instability, came hours ago when the US SecState said even more Russian sanctions may be coming. And just to make sure the NY Fed trading desk has to come up with a new narrative is the latest development in the Russian "humanitarian convoy" saga, which as we reported last night, has departed Russia but which Ukraine is now refusing to allow into its country. All in all, it's is setting up to be another super bullish day in the rigged markets for which all that matters is... Tuesday.

Futures Higher On Geopolitical Tensions Which Are Either Easing Or LoomingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/11/2014 07:00 -0400
Since there is nothing on today's data docket, it will be all about, you guessed it, geopolitical risks, where "consensus" is best summarized by these two Bloomberg headlines:
- Stay USD Long as Geopolitical Risks Loom
- USD is mixed and world stock markets rise as concerns over geopolitical risks ease
That pretty much covers it, although in addition to the Ukraine civil war one can now add an Iraq coup to the list of geopolitical fiascoes instigated by US foreign policy.

SPOILER ALERT: Fantastic Four death revealed!
Marvel has kept the secret of who would die in the Fantastic Four #587 for the longest time, even going so far as offering up a bagged copy of the issue to keep those from spilling the secret too early. With all the secrecy, it's surprising that the company sent out a press release (and had an AP story) revealing all the details of the death of one of the founding members.
We've got the spoiler filled information… after the jump, so you won't be Russelled.
Press Release
"FLAME OFF!" In a move sure to shock comic fans worldwide, Marvel unveiled that its ever popular super hero the Human Torch will meet his demise and die heroically in Fantastic Four #587, hitting stores tomorrow (Wednesday, January 26th). Concluding the "Three" storyline that captivated the mainstream media and industry press alike, this issue and the death of such a renowned character from the First Family of comics signals the beginning of major changes for the Marvel Universe as the Fantastic Four lose one of their founding members.
"Jonathan Hickman [writer of Fantastic Four] came to us two years ago with a vision for evolving the characters and concepts introduced to fans 50 years ago in Fantastic Four #1 – and quite frankly his vision blew us away," said Tom Brevoort, Marvel Entertainment SVP of Publishing. "The death of the Human Torch is the first major move in this incredibly exciting evolution of the legendary Fantastic Four franchise and a necessary part of the larger story we will be telling featuring the beloved characters moving forward."
But the story doesn't end there– February's Fantastic Four #588 brings the long running series to a conclusion as the Fantastic Four disband and the surviving characters must discover their new roles in the Marvel Universe. Just what's next for the surviving members of Marvel's First Family?
Fantastic Four #1 debuted in 1961, kicking off the "Marvel Age" of comics and dramatically increasing the popularity of super heroes. As the progenitor of Marvel Universe, the Fantastic Four set a new tone for super hero comics with its nuanced characterization, reflection of real world fears and progressive depiction of super heroes. Through the years, the Fantastic Four have been involved in many of comics most important & memorable storylines, from the introduction of Galactus to the chart-topping Civil War and now the upcoming event Fear Itself.
It all begins with the shocking death of the Human Torch in Fantastic Four #587, in comic stores Wednesday, January 26th, 2011!

Here's a quick video on how to change the orientation of your crop in Adobe Lightroom with only a few clicks of the mouse.
How to Change the Crop Orientation in Adobe Lightroom Video Transcript
Hey, everyone. John Batdorff here, and today I'm going to show you how to change orientation of your crop from Landscape to Portrait or vice versa. So first click on your image and then go over your Crop Overlay, that's this box right here. You can click on the box or simply press the letter R on the keyboard.That's going to activate the crop overlay. Now, to change the orientation in this case from Landscape to a Portrait you're going to hit the letter X. If we want to go back to the Landscape, just hit the letter X again.
So basically this just the letter X cycle through the orientation. So I'm going to go to portrait. Now, if I like this I can move it around but I'm going to settle in right here and if I'm happy with this, I can either click on the box again or hit the letter R. And there we have it. So I hope that was helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at email@example.com. Thank you.

NORRISTOWN Ś The short, form-fitting, black, sleeveless dress was inappropriate attire for court and a judge let a Pottstown woman know it with a stern dressing-down.
ōYouÆre not dressed for court. DonÆt come to court like youÆre going to the beach or a nightclub,ö Montgomery County Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy scolded 20-year-old Jessica Megan Langevin after Langevin pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge stemming from a June disturbance in Pottstown.
LangevinÆs cocktail dress couldnÆt hide scratches on her arm, which the judge questioned her about and which Langevin indicated she sustained in a fight.
The judge, accepting a plea agreement, sentenced Langevin to one year of probation and 24 hours of community service in connection with the 3 p.m. June 13 disturbance near her residence in the 900 block of East High Street. With the charges, Pottstown police alleged Langevin, while arguing with relatives, screamed obscenities and kicked the door of a relativeÆs car after being told to leave the area.
ōShe began to put small dents in the driverÆs side door. The defendant had to be restrained by the police to prevent her from damaging the car or engaging in a fight,ö Pottstown Police Officer Gregory Fritz alleged, adding Langevin initially refused to talk to police.
The judge noted that Langevin acted out in a public area in view of special needs patients and small children. By pleading guilty to disorderly conduct, Langevin admitted that with intent to cause public inconvenience or alarm, she created a physically offensive condition by conduct that served no legitimate purpose.
ōShame on you for acting like this,ö Demchick-Alloy said to Langevin, who told the judge she is the mother of two small children. ōThink of them next time you have a meltdown like this.ö
The judge advised Langevin she must learn to resolve her differences ōin a way thatÆs appropriateö and she ordered Langevin to complete an anger management counseling program as a condition of her sentence.
Langevin indicated she understood the judgeÆs concerns and conditions.
Testimony revealed Langevin has another unresolved case that is on the judgeÆs docket for October. Information about those pending charges was not available.
ōNext time you come to court, cover up,ö Demchick-Alloy sternly warned Langevin.

David began by showing several full size paper patterns of the solid body electric guitars he has designed. After the shape of the outer body is decided, the electronics has to be chosen and recesses have to be located for the pickups, controls, and jacks. Next the wood is selected based on the desires of the end user for the tonal quality, weight, and finish. All of the paper patterns eventually become wooden templates that are then used with routers equipped with pattern bits to shape the body and create the reliefs for all of the imbedded electronics. He finished up by showing 2 of his finished electric guitars that were simply stunning. Thanks to David for sharing his passion with us.

Running is still popular and is relatively cheap and simple, but can take time to master.
Even without access to a weight room, the habitual runner should perform strength training two to three times a week to increase performance and decrease the risk of injury.
The aim should be to perform whole body movements that incorporate large groups of muscles along with balance and stability.
Some of those moves should also be incorporated into a dynamic warm up before running. This will set a solid base to start a running program.
Perfecting your running performance, stride and form are paramount.
Good posture with a slight forward bend will help distribute the force throughout your body while enhancing forward propulsion.
Keep your eyes set on the horizon while keeping your chin tucked in rather than jutting out. This will help maintain form through the rest of your body.
Your arms should be relaxed with a slight bend in your elbows.
As you fatigue, your shoulder will start to elevate toward your ears. This is why you might get sore shoulders and tension headaches as your mileage increases.
To assist your legs, your arms should swing forward and back not across your body.
Your fists should be loosely half clinched with your hands not crossing your pocket line as they swing. The arm swing will help propel your legs, but if you excessively swing you will start to swivel your hips and waste energy.
The foot strike has received increasing attention due to the barefoot craze.
The whole point of barefoot running is to strengthen the small muscles in the feet and to correct the heel striking stride. When you wear shoes with big cushy heels, the tendency is to over stride and heel strike increases.
Heel striking causes many of the common maladies for runners hence the increased interest in barefoot training.
Barefoot training is akin to the samurai master snapping you with a bamboo stick for every mistake.
When you run barefoot and heel strike it hurts and you naturally stop.
When you correct your running pattern, then you can switch to minimalist shoes for moderate distances.
With some vigilance, you can run with minimal injury risks and work on improving your times.

Stonington — A fire that required firefighters to connect hoses to a hydrant a quarter-mile away badly damaged a home Thursday afternoon at 15 Collins Road.
When firefighters arrived on the scene of the 2:50 p.m. fire, heavy smoke was billowing from the roof of the brick home. Soon after, flames began shooting 15 feet into the air from the roof.
It took firefighters about an hour to bring the blaze under control, but not before it caused extensive damage to the rear and south end of the nine-room, 3,681-square-foot home.
Police said EMTs at the scene treated several firefighters for minor injuries, one for a hand injury and the others for heat-related problems.
Police said the homeowner, who had purchased the house in June, had left earlier in the afternoon and returned to find smoke coming from the house.
No one was in the house at the time of the fire.
Firefighters from Stonington borough, Wequetequock, Old Mystic, Quiambaug, Pawcatuck and the Naval Submarine Base responded to the scene, as well as Stonington and Mystic River Ambulance.
Fire Marshal George Brennan and police Detective Sgt. David Knowles began their investigation into the cause of the fire on Thursday afternoon.

This seems harmless enough, but Fred von Lohmann at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has pointed out that the president may have unwittingly committed copyright infringement.

"The early politics of christianity"
The genuine personal search of the author
I'm not one of faithful just a history nut.
"Billy Graham crusade, be warned"
The story is gripping, a bit over the top, and then at the end you find out it was all an ad for the Billy Graham crusade. Unless you're into stories about christian epiphanies pass on it. I was deeply disappointed and felt conned.
the end
all the christian propaganda
I felt deceived
A semi credible story
Naming something after Reagan, trying to teach me what Pacifism and Communism are for no reason.

UPDATE: JP Morgan Upgrades United Microelectronics to Overweight on Attractive Valuation
JP Morgan raises its rating on United Microelectronics (NYSE: UMC) from Neutral to Overweight as valuation gets attractive and the 40mm gap narrows.
JP Morgan comments, "We upgrade UMC to OW for three reasons: valuation, upbeat 2Q and 40nm progress. We expect 2Q results to beat consensus which should provide an immediate upside catalyst along with attractive valuations and narrowing 40nm gap, which should result in UMC's most viable 'second source status' strategy coming back in play. Investors might be worried about macro issues hurting 2H demand, but we stick with our positive industry stance and believe that 3Q will still be a growth quarter followed by a seasonal 4Q."
UMC closed at $2.11 on Monday.

I'm extracting data from SHP files, they are used a lot in geographic apps. The particular set I'm having problems with show all the standing water in the Sudan.
Polygons end up being stored as a sequence of verts, when I draw these with System.Drawing.FillPolygon() it works fine, slow but fine. However I need them in a game and I don't have System.Drawing.
I started out rendering each polygon into a bitmap, but they are too small and lacking in detail so I binned that.
Then I tried generating triangles by calculating a centre point and just running around the edge generating a triangle fan, didn't work.
I looked at the data and I have lot's of 'bays' and 'crosses' in the polygons. Yes I know, I should have looked more closely at the data before starting writing code, I'll give myself an extreme face palm for that.
So I implemented a ear splitting triangulation algorithm. It took forever and failed on a lot of polygons.
So I'm asking if anyone knows how System.Drawing.FillRectangle works under the hood? Is it some kind of shitty flood fill?
I'm really pissed off, I really needed this done today.....
I'm not sure what Microsoft does with their API, but you can find out by using a .NET disassembler. It could be something as simple as the scanline algorithm and they cache the bitmap for quicker subsequent renderings.
If you're interested in generating a permanent mesh, I would do that offline first and then rearrange how the assets are loaded and rendered in the app. Personally I use marching cubes or squares. It's a fast, versatile algorithm that's easy to understand and implement.
well you could try a voxel attempt of some kind... but unless youve put a lot of thought into voxels before itll be months of theory, ive put years into it, nearly ready to do some photo to sculpture scanning.
Since in the final app I need to be able to zoom the view, I am going to triangulate the data.
That's why I tried the ear splitting algorithm.
Just pissed off it didn't work. I'm going to have to try "Sweep-line algorithm for constrained Delaunay triangulation"
Looking at the bitmaps generated in my first attempt, I think TheNut is correct and they do a flood fill. It's not a simple flood fill though. Some of the shapes it can handle make me think it's a decent quality one.
Well that has to count as another extreme face palm.
I grabbed a simple delauney triangulation library and dropped it in.
Not only was it thousands of times faster than the ear splitting algorithm, it handled every polygon perfectly.
The only problem now is I am drawing my rivers with a sprite draw and as you zoom in the lakes look beautiful, and the rivers are too big.
Now I have to go back and redo the lines.....
I never wanted to be a programmer, I wanted to be a Lumberjack swinging from tree to tree across the mighty rivers of British Columbia, with my best girl by my side, I'd sing...sing sing...

Deadly toll on New Hampshire's snowmobile trails this season
A Berlin woman died Saturday night after her snowmobile hit a tree as she rode with her husband across Success Pond in Success township.
State Fish and Game officers said the woman's husband and a nurse who was staying at a camp near the scene of the crash attempted to revive the woman, but she had sustained severe trauma and died at the scene.
On Tuesday, a snowmobiling accident took the life of a Hudson woman in Pittsburg. Pauline Robinson, 47, of Hudson was killed when her snowmobile hit a tree.
Two other serious snowmobile crashes were reported in Pittsburg earlier this season. A Florida man was hurt on Jan. 12 and a Massachusetts woman was injured in a crash on Stewart Young Road in Pittsburg on Dec. 28.
In the 2012-13 winter season, at least four deaths were reported involving snowmobiles in the state.
In January of last year, a 29-year-old Shelburne man died after a snowmobile accident on the Gorham Pipeline trail. The man was found the next day after a bitterly cold night in the woods, but later died at Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin.

Great buy and great glasses
February 16, 2008
I am very happy with my purchase here. I love the glasses and highly recommend everyone to buy here.
Good price great quality
August 31, 2009
These were a really great price and fit really well. I have a small face so it is difficult to find sunglasses that are not too big. While these are bigger than some, they are not huge on my small face. They fit well and block the sun and glare great.

I've been looking for a good deal on these sunglasses for a year now. I not only found a great deal, but they were shipped quickly and are more than I had hoped. I love the polarized lenses and will be buying another color of the same glasses very soon.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Nice Glasses but not what I wanted.

Very nice quality but not the style I was looking for. Lenses were very nice.

All Guilds Meeting - May 2014
2014 continues to roll right along into May, and things are as active as ever in the cavern. This month's All Guilds Meeting had quite a few bits of interesting news. And it wouldn't be a normal AGM news post without a couple of chatlogs, raw and cleansed!
Here's what happened this month:
Vector Cramp returned this month to update everyone about The Lost Art, the group's upcoming machinima project. They have partnered with the creators of DIRT shard to film their episodes. As part of their partnership, the MystiTech team will help DIRT along by playing a few NPCs when the shard is officially released. Anyone interested in contributing to the project is asked to contact MystiTech.
Creators of Myst and Doom Interviewed
In a recent interview of Rand Miller and John Romero, the creators of Myst and Doom respectively, at the NYU Game Center, both of the legendary video game developers shared, among other things, their points of view on the other's game.
Doom and Myst were both originally released in 1993, and both were highly acclaimed, albeit for drastically different reasons. While Myst became synonymous with the graphical adventure game genre, Doom defined the modern first-person shooter genre for many years. According to the interview, their respective creators both initially expressed a feeling of incredulity and anger when they became aware of the others' game. Read more

A remnant of a federal investigation into a Philadelphia motorcycle gang with a national reach has washed up at the Sacramento County courthouse.
The subject of the investigation was a group called the Wheels of Soul, which is now running a little flatter after a federal prosecution in St. Louis wiped out most of its top leadership.
Sacramento became involved through the arrest of a man who flashed a North American Arms mini-revolver to an undercover federal agent two years ago and was arrested three months later in possession of the same gun.
Sherone Bradley, 31, is awaiting trial next week in Sacramento Superior Court for possession of the gun at a July 22, 2011, barbecue at which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives played host. The undercover operation, videotaped by ATF agents, took place at a tobacco shop on Power Inn Road as part of a weapons-trafficking investigation into outlaw biker groups.
The convergence of the investigations has provided a glimpse into the world of the "one-percenters." That's the term biker gangs use to separate themselves from the country's law-abiding motorcycle clubs.
In a hearing this week before Sacramento Superior Court Judge Peter Mering, Bradley admitted under oath that he showed the gun at the barbecue to ATF agent Erik Crowder, who was posing as a member of a New York City outlaw biker gang called the Ching-a-lings.
Bradley testified that he was originally from Philadelphia but now lives in Northern California. He said he had once been a member of Wheels of Soul, but he dropped out along with his father when a friend came under threat for refusing to carry out "a hit" for the club.
Once the three dropped out, and when they made moves to join the Ching-a-lings, all were threatened with death, Bradley said in a sworn declaration.
"You're not allowed to leave a one-percenter club and join another one," he testified this week at a pretrial hearing.
The case out of St. Louis suggests Bradley's fear may not have been unfounded.
In a 40-page indictment, federal officials charged 22 Wheels of Soul members from seven states with a variety of crimes racketeering conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, discharge of a firearm, evidence tampering, sale of a firearm to a felon, kidnapping and conspiracy to distribute drugs. In most instances, their victims were members of other biker organizations.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in St. Louis said the defendants all have been convicted or pleaded guilty. One of them, Anthony Robinson, 26, of Chicago, murdered four people and was sentenced to two life terms.
Federal law enforcement officials say Wheels of Soul is the largest mixed-race outlaw motorcycle club in the country, with about 400 members riding out of 25 states, including a handful of members who wear the group's colors in California and Oregon.
Besides Robinson, the St. Louis prosecution obtained convictions against club president James C. Smith of Philadelphia and regional vice presidents Allan Hunter of Chicago, Frederick Morgan of Youngstown, Ohio, and Dominic Henley of St. Louis.
In Sacramento, Bradley identified a Wheels of Soul official nicknamed "Low Rider" as the person who threatened him and his father as well as the third gang dropout.
The St. Louis indictment identified defendant Morgan as having the moniker of "Low Rider." His St. Louis attorney, Peter M. Cohen, said he knew nothing about Bradley's allegations.
The club's violence, according to the federal complaints, almost exclusively was directed at rival motorcycle clubs, the attorney said. "Maybe a gang had a beef with them, or they had a beef with a gang over different things," Cohen said.
Sacramento's ATF office got a piece of the national case during a weapons-trafficking investigation that focused on the Ching-a-lings.
At the July 2011 ATF barbecue, Bradley rode up with his father. According to the prosecution's statement of the case, Bradley showed the .22-caliber gun to the ATF undercover agent. Bradley also showed the agent his parolee identification card and prosecutors learned he had been "convicted of numerous felonies, making it unlawful for him to carry a firearm," according to the statement filed by Deputy District Attorney Patrick Foster.
The same gun turned up again when Walnut Creek police stopped Bradley on Oct. 18, 2011, prosecutors said.
A year ago in April six months after the Walnut Creek arrest Sacramento prosecutors filed a single-count complaint against Bradley on charges of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. The complaint listed only one prior adult felony conviction for petty theft with a prior in Solano County.
Bradley's case was assigned to Judge Mering on Tuesday and jury selection was supposed to begin Wednesday.
The process was delayed, however, when defense attorney Robert D. Byers of Oakland filed a motion to force the prosecution to identify an ATF informant who attended the barbecue.
Byers argued that the informant is a material witness and said he wants to call him to testify about a possible entrapment defense.
The defense lawyer said in court papers that the informant also knew about the threats Bradley faced from Wheels of Soul.
Deputy DA Foster opposed identifying "a valuable confidential informant." It would put the operative at risk and also jeopardize a nationwide investigation into outlaw motorcycle gangs, Foster told the judge.
Pretrial skirmishing is expected to continue Monday.

an unexpected niche
Now, I've found, that these are quite marketable. I truly enjoy making them as each design is a little way to make a title come alive with typography. It really makes me happy — more than I would have ever thought when I first started making them.
Alas, this is my first hard lesson on Etsy. I've discovered that I've priced my labels too low. I spend about 45 minutes to an hour creating each label, and then there are the corrections, printing, and shipping. So, I'm spending at least 2 hours if not more on each label for a profit of about $7. Eeek! I don't want to say it's about the money, but really my time and my talent is more valuable than that — as my husband has lovingly pointed out to me. It was a very difficult realization to come to. I love my little labels. Each and every one is a work or art in my eyes and truly one-of-a-kind. For now, my price is only going up $2.50, but I plan to increase it further in the future. I'm investigating different ways to handle it — I've even had some very good suggestions on pricing from one of my very first customers. She has been very supportive of my new change, and I must say that the sweet comments that I've received from my quilt label customers have really made this endeavor that much more meaningful. These quilters have spent countless hours working on these quilts, and I am honored that they want to place my little piece of art on their quilt.... something that will be a reminder to all of the love that went into each stitch and who it was made for and why.

I felt a little lost, but it helped to read Day #19
Vallensbæk Strand, Denmark
Glad I was out most of the day and could not do this until now. I at least know there is a team map feature now. Thanks for these challenges and learning new features.
I'm sorry, this one did not work for me!
Not even going to try
I did it, but there are so many overlapping markers in my area of Florida I can't see me. Lol
Life begins outside your comfort zone
Found the map.
Opened it.
Closed and reopened. Then, gave up...patience, not one of my virtues!
Well I did it, but the map doesn't make any sense to me,
For 4KWALK scroll down the page to the bottom, after
the new comers, it shows track team map
With Christ I can do anything!
I followed the steps but when I got to the team page I cannot find the spot where it says
"show on team map" heading. Could you please tell me what part of the page I might find that heading?
Thanks for any help you can send my way.
At the end of the day, be able to look back and say "I did my best today."

I've opened the map a couple of times today and I still don't see myself on it. I tried in on one other team and didn't show up on its map, either. Looks like some of us just aren't registering. If anyone sees me in Colorado, please let me know.

Done and no problems, no lag time.
For those who had problems, I doubt the map refreshes automatically. If you exit the map and then open it again, you should see yourself.
Done, but I'm also not showing up.
It took me quite a while but I finally found where to put myself on the map but I don't show up either. Maybe it takes a while for this to register. Enjoyed seeing who was already in my area though.
Lovin the skin you're in.
I followed the steps but I don't see myself on the map. Will check it again later. There are no markers in Ky.
Looked it up since I didn't know and sure enough there is! It is southeast of St. Augustine.
Is there a Geneva in Texas ?
I did it, but there's still no marker in Norway. Oh, well.
Done but couldn't find myself. When I went back to go threw the steps again it said information was saved. I will check it again later
This is very strange -- I'm not showing up on this team map either, although it has worked perfectly well for me on other teams !!
I'm going to see if I can get some tech help for this -- Sorry, everyone ! I really love this feature and it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult for it to work right.

I was successful. I never knew about this feature. Thanks

This has always frustrated me!
Unfortunately, SparkPeople doesnt know the country Switzerland even if I see it on the map.
I followed all of the steps and am not showing up on the map. Not on any of my teams. Suggestions?
NOTE: Sorry everyone -- after I posted this I discovered that, although the team map works perfectly well for me on several other team, I am not showing up on the one for the HBP team and many other members are reporting problems as well. I've sent a message to the technical support staff to see what they have to say -- I really love this feature, but I have to say I think it should be removed if it just won't work right!
Put yourself on the map -- the Team Map, that is!
Did you know there is a "team map" for each team that you belong to? Scroll down the main team page (link) to the box that shows the newest team members; click on the button that says "team map" to see the map.
To get your own marker on the map:
Click on the "My Trackers" tab at the top of the page and then click on "Start."
Click on "account/email preferences" (near the top of the page).
Under the "Account" tab, make sure the country where you live and your postal code are correct in the "My Information" section; be sure to click on "save my information."
Now click on the "Community" tab and then on the "Spark Teams" button.
Scroll down the list of your teams to the High Blood Pressure team, and then click on the box under the "Show on Team Map" heading.
Now click on the team name to return to the HBP team page, scroll down and check out the map to see your marker!
