Talk on hauling, roads continues
By SUE WATSON
The Marshall County Board of Supervisors heard from concerned citizen Melvin Lay about the hauling moratorium at the Tuesday, Feb. 16, meeting.
Lay said he and his son, who make their living hauling gravel for driveways and logging, cannot support and feed their families as a result of the moratorium on hauling set to expire March 1. The board put the moratorium in effect in early January after loggers began to tear up county paved roads when coming in and out of the fields with heavy loads of timber.
The county has studied the permitting process and attorney Kent Smith provided a permit form the county administrator's office can use to provide information on the restrictions, as well as in obtaining a permit to haul timber or dirt or gravel on county roads. The permit is required primarily for those who will be making many trips in and out of the fields with heavy loads.
"I know we have some tremendous damage over all Marshall County," Lay said, "even some on roads some logging trucks have never been on. I would appreciate some type of relief. I haul gravel and some driveways in my neighborhood need gravel. I can't do it. I don't see it feasible to not let citizens have gravel to get in and out."
Supervisor Ronnie Joe Bennett promised Lay the board would have word on the situation by day's end that Tuesday.
Later in the meeting, supervisors, the attorney and the road manager discussed the new permit form, with Bennett asking for revision of the form to make sure haulers know all the information on the form is pertinent to the hauler. Once in effect, haulers will pay $100 for a permit. The permit also includes a specified route or several ones the hauler will take in going in and out of the field with product.
County administrator Larry Hall made clear this is not just a concern to Marshall County but other counties are grappling with issues of damage to roads due to hauling, particularly heavy loads coming out of gravel pits.
The issue is two-fold. A person has to go to the zoning board to get permission to operate a mining pit in the county. Then the operator has to go to the county administrator's office and request a permit.
The attorney passed the permit before the Marshall County Forestry Association officers and accepted 100 percent of what the association asked for, Smith said. Then the county added its own language and elements to the application form.
Smith said most buyers won't take timber that is grown on farms that are not certified for good forest management practices.
County engineer Larry Britt asked if the permit requirement would apply to someone who has a contract to haul many loads to a construction site in the county from somewhere outside the county, including traveling over county roads that are overlayed with State Aid monies.
Smith said concrete trucks hauling to a construction site would not likely be affected.
"It is the repeated hauling over the same spot that is plain in case law," he said. "You have a right to route somebody - to protect county roads this board is trying to resurface and get up to a level."
Bennett suggested that language specifying weather conditions be moved up high in the form instead of below where the county's signature goes on the approval form.
Hall said everything on the form would be explained to the hauler and that State Aid built roads should not be excepted from routes that require a permit.
"So, if a hauler is tearing up a road, any supervisor or the county administrator can stop them and the action can be ratified at the next board meeting," Smith said. "If they mess up a road, sue them. That's what it all comes down to. There is no law specifying you (the county) have to build a road to a certain standard. They are putting you guys in a cat box, when you all are doing everything by the law."
Supervisor George Zinn III added, "This is no attempt to shut anybody down. It's just asking for cooperation."
In other business, the board of supervisors:
• motioned to pay mid-month bills totaling $179,309. Chancery clerk Chuck Thomas said the county may find itself in a cash-flow crunch in a month or two because the carry-over of funds into last year's budget year was less this year by $800,000 than two years ago and by $400,000 from one year ago. He said departments may need to cut back their quarterly allotment by as much as eight percent. Supervisors passed a motion to give departments advance warning that expenditures may have to be reduced soon if revenues do not come in on time.
Thomas said two years ago the county had $1.9 million carry-over to operate on until tax monies came in in January. This last year the county had only $1.1 million carry-over, causing the county to come close to running out of operating cash and necessitating using all the county's CD savings for cash.
He said the county has to operate on the carry-over dollars for about three months in the late fall, then operates on new cash flows from property tax dollars until the summer tax sale when additional monies are collected.
• appointed Virginia Jeffries to replace retiring library board member Jewel Stover at the recommendation of supervisor Willie Flemon.
• discussed sending a letter to the Mississippi Department of Transportation and to the BNSF Railroad requesting crossing arms be placed at intersections of the railroad at Shinault and Mason roads.
• learned from Britt that inspectors with the Federal Highway Commission will check files and documents on work on Mt. Carmel Road and the North Holly Springs Bypass, according to requirements set in place by the Obama administration. The audits are required by the Congressional bill that provided money for ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) stimulus monies.
Britt announced a cut in State Aid Program Funds to Marshall County amounting to about $86,000. He said some projects would have extra money to make up for about a third of the cut in funds.
• heard a request from Charles Green to place a mobile home perpendicular to the highway on his lot. Zoning requires mobile homes to face the road. Zinn said the board would not step over zoning regulations and take away from the zoning board's authority.
"If I go against them, I would be questioning their integrity," he said.
Green argued the direction his mobile home faces hurts no one and would not affect anyone.
"If I go to them and complain about them, are they going to correct it?" he asked.
Green then asked for something in writing stating the board of supervisors concurred with zoning on the matter. The board passed a motion to provide the statement.
• voted to pass a resolution in support of a WIN Job Center in the county that would be sent to Jackson and the Legislature.
• took under advisement a letter from Gov. Haley Barbour concerning economic development recovery bonds and recovery facility bonds. The Legislature has approved several millions in bond money for construction of several projects in the county. These monies may be needed to complete some infrastructure projects, supervisors said.

Questions & Answers
"Hey, does the height adjust?" asked by Ammie
LumiSource Occasional Furniture Adjustable Height Pub Table
sally from Billings, MT– Verified Buyer
Perfect for my small room where table was needed. Description was right on.
Great value and perfect size.
Ean from Toledo, OH– Verified Buyer
We love the style and adjustable height. Great price!! Looked everywhere and here it was all the time
Linda from Gainesville, FL– Verified Buyer
The table looks great. The real problem was the lack of directions. I tried to follow instructions from one of other reviewers and almost ruined table. My friend went on web and found instructions from manufacturer and put it together very easily. The metal cap needs to stay on! Do not remove try to remove it.
jack from saint louis, MO– Verified Buyer
The pub table was just right at a reasonable price.
The perfect accent to my game room
Linda from North Fort Myers, FL– Verified Buyer
Exactly what I hoped it would be! It fits perfectly in my game room and looks awesome! It's very classy looking. I love it!
Looks good. Lets see how long itll last!
Hojat from Miami Beach, FL– Verified Buyer
Just got it an hour ago and put it together. Packaging, in a prism shaped box, is basic to shoddy but the two parts arrived undamaged. There was no instruction sheet included to instruct that one NEEDs TO PULL THE SECuRITY CAP OFF THE HYDRAULIC ROD so the hydraulic height adjustment works properly. Called Lumisource and their rep told me about the need to pull off the cap with a pair of pliers... Not exactly obvious specially given the fact that the cap was metallic and hard to pull off. Now it is sitting on my balcony with a pair of stools. I was told before buying that it is ok for modest exposure to outdoor elements... Let's see how long it lasts. It looks like it is well worth the price. Just wish they would have charged $1 more and included a sheet about how to properly put it together...
Good buy
Amoy from Chandler, AZ– Verified Buyer
Looks great as shown in the picture. But the only thing is that it is a little bit of balance itself when standing on the title. You might need to find small soft pads to adjust balance to be more stable. Overall, it is good enough to have it!
almost bang on
Andrew from Orleans, ON– Verified Buyer
The table is very nice, for the most part exactly how we had pictured it to be, except for the black ring around the base, which we had hoped for as it looks (in the picture) as its a rubber protector to not damage the floors. This was not the case. it is just a thin metal base that in are case has a good size dent in it. the table is very nice and for the most part what u see is what you get. shipping times where right on.
Really Cool Table
Michael from La Vista, NE– Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble, perfect for standing around in small groups or can be combined with two stools, excellent quality, we bought two.
Good for laptop users who like to stand up.
Nancy Grant from Milo, Maine
In a high school setting, teachers or students with laptops, especially those who need to move.

UnixWare read/modify users' mail (/var/spool/mail)
This is also not applicable on OpenServer. OpenServer's >equivalent
is /usr/spool/mail which has 1777 perms (world-writable, but >sticky
so only owner can delete files). The local delivery agent will
not deliver to a file not owned by the recipient; will not follow
symlinks or write to a file with multiple names (hard links);
and is designed to avoid race conditions.
The meat of this exploit is not only that the directory is mode 0777, but
that, by SYSV standards (thanks to Aleph to clearing that up for me), we can
change the owner of any file we own. Therefore, under OpenServer (SYSV
based), we could still create a file, change the owner and have mail delivered
to that user normally. I don't know if that OpenServer LDA will deliver to a
file which is world-readable, however.
I've marked in the Buffer Overflow list below which ones were known (in the
sense of publicly posted) and which were not.
In addition to the first two vulnerabilities, we are also putting the
finishing touches on another large collection of previously reported
OpenServer vulnerabilities (and vulnerabilities we discovered ourselves)
which will be available by December 25th. The current contents include
(but will not be limited to):
1. Buffer overflows in:
/usr/mmdf/chans/smtpsrvr * unknown
/etc/killall * unknown
/etc/popper * known or newer version of old exploit
/usr/bin/mscreen * known or older version of old exploit
/usr/bin/rlogin * unknown (same as UnixWare gethostbyname()?)
/bin/su * unknown (same as UnixWare exploit?)
/usr/lib/sysadm/termsh * unknown, but I remember doing some work on this
program. I'll re-post if I dig up my files on it.
/usr/lib/libX11.so.5.0 * all the X problems known 5 years ago
/usr/bin/X11/xterm * known
/usr/bin/X11/xload * known
/usr/bin/X11/scoterm * known
/usr/bin/X11/scolock * known
/usr/bin/X11/scosession * known
/usr/bin/X11/scologin * known
/usr/lpd/remote/rlpstat * known
/usr/lpd/remote/cancel * known
/usr/lpd/remote/lpmove * known
BTW, if any of you Bugtraq people are in serious need of OpenServer exploits
for any of the above, I would be happy to help out. I'm interested in finding
out what the bug in smtpsrvr is, in particular.
2. Algorithmic vulnerabilities in:
Can improperly write to privileged files
One of those complicated algorithmic symlink vulnerabilities :) known.
Can improperly read privileged files
(also buffer overflows)
Unknown, but:
If I recall correctly, I reported this to SCO as a buffer overflow in -query
<hostname> (with a long <hostname>). If there is an overflow there, I would
suspect that OpenServer has the gethostbyname() overflow that UW7 has.
My memory is just as shady on the "read privileged files" vulnerability. I
think it was "Xsco -config /etc/shadow" that would print the first line of
/etc/shadow in an error message.
Can improperly acess privileged devices
Allows transmission of dangerous characters
Dangerous characters? Unknown.
Allows transmission of dangerous characters
" " Unknown.
Corrupt /etc/dialups causes login failure
Insufficient error checking
Thanks to SCO for posting fix information publicly instead of only to
www.sco.com/security and providing actual information about which programs are
vulnerable (even if the information wasn't complete). I might've hoped for
more timely fixes, but considering the sheer number of holes they had to deal
with, I'm just glad they didn't wait until 5.0.6.

Shoe by Herbert Levine, 1953. Photo by Richard Rutledge.
Maria Aparicio Puentes
This is one of my favorite photos thus far. I believe it is the unusualness that drawn me to it. The use of shutter speed is just perfect making this photo not perfectly crisp but almost there. I also love the models expression, without it this photo would not be as strong as it is. The pop of color really compliments the direction of the string straight to the model. I hope to capture a simiar photo like this one some day.
Steven Klein
This photo is very playful. Ranging from the fun colors to the disfigured shapes, a "wacky" world is portrayed. Perhaps it is the models view on the world or simply her just her personality. Overall, i love the cropping and the use of colors in this photo.
No end in sight by Dorothea Lange (1939)
I love the direction this photo. The lines play a huge role in making what this photo really is. I enjoy the choice of color the photographer chose to use on the overall photo. It successfully made a modern component of our world in the present in the past!

Notes for
Jacob Posch
Biography of Jacob Posch given by himself in 1936.
I was born in Libno Upper Selesia, Poland on May 2, 1872 and came to the United States in the year 1872 with my parents. We landed in St. Cloud, Minnesota in the summer of 1872 and my father settled on a homestead in section 28 Township of Two Rivers, Morrison County, Minnesota. In the early days there were no schools in the vicinity but when I was 8 years old, School District No. 23 was established but there was no schoolhouse so I started to go to school to a neighbor's granary which was fixed for a school till a new school house was built in the year 1882. My first teacher was Miss Otelia Wroblewski. I attended school during four winter months and in 1887 I attended the St. Cloud Normal School.
My first teacher at Normal was Mr. Shoemaker. He became the principal of the St. Cloud Normal School and he stayed there as the head of the school till he died. The first year I attended the St. Cloud Normal School theres the bad cyclone in April of 1886 where hundreds of people were killed. It was an awful sight. Later my father Lawrence Posch started a store of General merchandise in The township of Brockway, Stearns County, Minnesota where (the) Opole Post Office was established.
I was appointed assistant Postmaster of the Opole Post Office. After my father sold the store I took up further education in the Sauk Centre Business College until I obtained a third grade certificate to teach in public schools. I taught school four months in the winter for 8 years and in the summer I had the agency for Buckeye Binders and Mowers and other farm implements. I continued that business until I was married in 1897.
I married one Mary Ginter and settled in the Township of Pike Creek, Morrison County, Minnesota near the Lindbergh State Park. I was elected town Clerk in the following year and two yeas later I was also elected assessor the town of Pike Creek. I (have) held these two offices until I moved to the City of Little Falls in November 1907 and here I (have) started a General grocery store and several years later, after being in said business 7 1/2 years, I sold out and when I lived in Pike Creek and during that time I was Deputy Auditor for two years. I resigned and became candidate for County Treasurer but was defeated by Lyman Signor by 45 votes. In those days women did not vote yet and two years later I was candidate again and defeated by Frank Renick by 65 votes.
A few years later I tried for the nomination for Clerk of Court but was defeated the the nomination by Mr. Stoll who was later elected Clerk of Court. I worked in various offices in the Courthouse: the auditor's office when Mr. Wm. A. Butler was Auditor: (and) in the Register of Deeds office when Mr. Wm. H. Hall was Register Deeds; in the Clerk of Court's Office when Mr. Simon P. Brick was Clerk of Court; in the Treasurer's Office when Frank Renick was County Treasurer.
When I was running the store I was appointed census enumerator for the Township of Swan River. I bought 20 acres of land in section 25, Township of Pike Creek, Morrison County, Minnesota. I built a house and barn on it in the year 1897 and made a well of 30 feet deep and resided there till the year 1907 when I moved to the city of Little Falls, Minnesota. There I and John Eckman built a store building the summer of 1907.
I started a general grocery store in the south half of the building and in the north half, John Eckman started a saloon. After 7 1/2 years in the grocery business I sold out my interest in the grocery business and the building for $3000 cash. A few years later I bought the Button Mercantile building on 3rd St. S.W. and after remodeling the building, my son-in-law, John Karnowski, started a general grocery store and in 1920 I took over the store business from John Karnowski. I stayed there till the year 1930 when I was elected City Assessor. I sold the store business to Mike Zyvoloski and when I operating the first grocery store I bought a lot and erected a barn and made a well on it. Later I built a residence in which I now live. (My Note: This was on Fourth Street S.W.-the house is still there).
I was re-elected City Assessor in 1932 and again in 1934 and now in 1936.
When I made some more money I bought the old Water Power Building for #3500 and remodeled it, some for dwelling purposes on 3rd St. S.W. across the street from the building I had bought before from the Button Bros. Later when I made a little money I bought a half interest in the Jefferson Highway Garage with Christ Karnowski, Sr. Later we sold it to John A. Trutwin for $12,000.
When I moved to the city in 1907 I belonged to St. Stanislaus Church at Swan River now in the village of Sobieski but it was too far to go there so I joined the St. Adelbert Church on 7th St. S.E.
In a short time after joining I was elected Treasurer of said parish. Father T. J. Rekosiak was the priest and after he was transferred, Father John T. Musial was appointed in his place. I was still treasurer. In 1916 the church was too small for the parish so they wanted to enlarge it or take it down and rebuild and later build a parochial school. I resigned as the treasurer of St. Adelbert Church and started to organize a new parish on the West side. I was elected Treasurer of this new organization. We bought the Old Antler's Hotel, remodelled it, and on July 8, 1917 we had the first services in the new parish.
The name of the new parish is Our Lady of Lourdes. It is located on Block 54, Thayer's addition, second street Northwest. Later in 1921 the parish built the basement for a new church and 1922 the upper structure was built. In 1936 the debts of the parish were all paid. Rev. John T. Musial died on Jan 22, 1936 and Rev. Stan P. Goryczka was appointed in his place. I am still treasurer of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced April 1 that President Barack Obama has nominated Air Force Maj. Gen. Wendy Masiello to be director of the Defense Contract Management Agency. Charlie Williams was director of DCMA until late 2013; Deputy Director James Russell has been running the agency on an acting basis since then.
If confirmed by the Senate, Masiello would also be promoted to lieutenant general.
Masiello currently serves as the Air Force's deputy assistant secretary for contracting -- a role in which she has pushed the Air Force to be an early adopter of the General Services Administration's OASIS contracting vehicle, and warned publicly of the risks posed by agencies' shortage of experienced contracting personnel. In 2011, she won a Federal 100 award for her work as the Air Force's program executive officer for combat and mission support.
No replacement has yet been named for Masiello's current job of Air Force deputy assistant secretary for contracting.

There are risks associated with trading penny stocks. In many cases these risks can be mitigated or avoided altogether, but there is always the chance of losing money.
The Single Biggest Risk for Penny Stock Traders:
Never buy penny stocks that you heard about for free. This is so prevalent and dangerous, that we have devoted an entire section of this web site to The Single Biggest Risk for Penny Stock Traders. Click the link to learn more, and protect yourself.
There are also other risks, such as low visibility or low tradeability. Read more about these other risks.
Here at the Penny Stocks Guide you can learn all about how to protect yourself from the penny stock risks. Trading penny stocks can be the most exciting and rewarding type of investing around, and if you take the time to do it right, it will pay off for years and years.
Learn all about the worst penny stocks, and some tips on how to avoid them.
Penny stocks have a bad name, because scammers use thinly traded shares to take advantage of people, with pump and dump schemes, and by providing manipulative information.
They also get a bad name because many investors lose money trading them, when they don't understand what their investing in, or how to trade.
Many people trade penny stocks before they learn about the easily avoidable dangers, and then complain that penny stocks are dangerous.
However, for those investors who do learn how to find good quality companies, and take the time to understand the dangers and how to avoid them, there are tremendous profits to be made.

Earlier today there were rumors (which were quickly debunked) that the Minnesota Timberwolves had a deal in place to trade for the number one overall pick in next week's 2013 NBA Draft, currently owned by the Cleveland Cavaliers. And while those reports ended up being false, the was nothing false about the conversations – this according to Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio.
Per Amico:
Reports of Cavs trading No. 1 pick to T-Wolves for No. 9 and Derrick Williams are false. Although teams have had conversations.
The Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers attempting to work out a trade for the number one overall pick isn't anything new as days after the Cavs won the NBA lottery, they approached the Wolves in an attempt to trade for Kevin Love.
Those conversations obviously didn't get very far, but the Cavs have apparently told teams that a top ten pick along with a starting caliber player may be enough bait for them to bite on a deal.
Buckle your seat belts – should be an interesting seven days.

sit ere for how long of my life thinkin to myself i need to be social
thinkin that my circumstances of only talkin to people i know once a month, or if i happen to bump into em while out doin my shit, was acceptable
im turnin 19 in 20 days and it only just occur to me now that it aint even worth it, the world has got too many snakey people in it
my best friend basically turn into Judas, purposely rejectin my calls and shit for other people and when he do answer he just happen to be busy. he talks shit bout me to the people we used to, or still do, chill wit when i aint around and when i bump into him he actin like he wants to know me
my other best mate dont answer his shit and when he do he make arrangements, sayin that he'll call me cuh im always stressin bout how i dont like havin to call cuh i feel like i'm intruding, but never followin through with his word. i dont know if he talk shit about me but i got one of those feelins he does cuh i get that vibe bout him
two weeks ago i fracture my jaw and skull, i'm in and out of hospital and people who aint even that cool wit me seem to show some concern, but ofcourse they gotta talk some shit behind my back. "oh aint karma hit jack hard" laughin and shit, it aint even bother me tho it just made me realize
that night there was only one person who seemed genuine, talkin bout my motives and how i act, advisin me that i should enroll into the army. 5 minutes into a decent conversation, she go for a piss, doesn't come back, so i start walkin home and then the incident occurred
perhaps doin fuck all with my life aint as bad as i thought it was
i sorta like the thought of that too aha

According to BTN.com blogger Brent Yarina, Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough is the third best defensive player in the Big Ten.
"The anchor and leader of the Big Ten's premier defense, Bullough totaled 10 tackles and one tackle for loss in Saturday's home loss to Nebraska," Yarina wrote Monday.
His ranking of Bullough seems about right. Entering last weekend, Michigan State had the No. 5 ranked defense in the nation and the best defense in the conference. Despite Michigan State falling behind late against Nebraska, the defense did look great.
It goes without saying how much Bullough helps this team.
RELATED: The Northwestern at Michigan State game time is set for noon ET on Nov. 17. The game will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN2.

The Great Masturbator, 1929
Salvador Dali Print, 60cm x 80cm View all Prints…
60cm x 80cm (24" x 31") Print
Art print: This is one of Salvador Dali's more personal paintings which depicts his struggle with sexuality and intimacy. This piece is full of Dali's usual dream like images and motifs including a naked woman, a locust, a swarm of ants and eggs which he commonly associated with fertility. If you have the time, then this stunning print has many stories to offer and many images to find and depict. Certainly one of his more fantastical pieces which will add a real touch of class and un-bound imagination to your home.

Jehane Noujaim's Egyptian Revolution documentary "The Square" has won the best feature award from the International Documentary Association.
The award, presented Friday night at the Directors Guild of America theater, adds to a growing list of kudos for the film, which depicts the revolution of 2011 from its roots in Tahrir Square. "The Square" won the Audience Award for World Cinema in the documentary category at Sundance and the People's Choice Award in the doc category at the Toronto Film Festival.
Netflix recently closed a deal for distribution rights to "The Square," the first documentary deal for the streaming service in several years. "The Square" is also on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' shortlist of 15 films competing for an Oscar nom along with three other IDA nominees -- Joshua Oppenheimer's "The Act of Killing," Gabriela Cowperthwaite's "Blackfish," and Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell."
The fifth IDA contender, Jason Osder's "Let the Fire Burn," didn't land on the Oscar list. Malik Bendjelloul's "Searching for Sugar Man" won the IDA trophy last year and went on to win the Oscar.
Paul Provenza presided over the ceremonies.
Josh Izenberg's "Slomo" won the best short award for its portrait of neurologist-turned-rollerblader John Kitchin. It topped Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's "The Education of Mohammad Hussein," Johan Palmgren's "The Flogstar Roar," Alicia Dwyer's "Nine to Ninety" and Russell O. Bush's "Vultures of Tibet."
Best Continuing Series Award went to the PBS series "Independent Lens," now in its 12th season, and Best Limited Series Award went to CNN's "Inside Man," hosted by Morgan Spurlock.
The previously announced Career Achievement Award was presented to Alex Gibney, whose credits include "The Armstrong Lie," "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" and "Taxi to the Dark Side," which won the Oscar for documentary feature.
The IDA Amicus Award went to Impact Partners co-founder Geralyn Dreyfous, who also founded the Utah Film Center. Dreyfous' credits include "The Square," "Born Into Brothels," "The Invisible War" and "The Crash Reel." Filmmaker Laura Poitras received IDA's Courage Under Fire Award. She is working on the third film in her trilogy of films about America post-9/11, which includes "My Country, My Country" (2006) and "The Oath" (2010).

It's weird to think that nearly 7 days ago, I was on my way to another heart hospital appointment, dreading what was to come, and now it's done with and I don't need to think about it for another year. Well, I guess I do a little bit. All went well at the appointment, my sister and mum are both gene carriers, but doing well, which is great, and good news, but then there's me, and i'm the one that get's the most attention and speaking too. I kid you not, the lady literally told said to me "okay so -insert name here-, you're a little different, because your heart muscle is thicker, quite a bit thicker" and I sat there and just..laughed, because I'm so aware of this, so so aware of this, and it's something that was said last time too, and it just came across a little insensitive to me, but I get that she's doing her job.
Anyway, the appointments went well, I'm on lower medication that's twice a day, so it's the same amount I was on before, just now its half and half so to help with my blood pressure problems, since I'd been feeling dizzy alot, but still need to be on the amount of meds I'm on now. I also spoke alot about an ICD, and for those of you who don't know, an ICD is
"An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered electrical impulse generator which is implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia."
according to wikipedia, anyway, and I'm apparently in need of one of these for safety purposes so that i can prevent a possible episode via one of these magical things. i've never been comfortable with the idea of getting one though, so i've said no to it alot, but it's constantly something they've brought up. this time i got info on something called an S-ICD, which is basically the same thing, only it hasn't got a pacer in it, but I don't need that anyway. I feel a bit more comfortable about that, but I'm still not sure about surgery, it's just a big deal. I'm sure alot of people perhaps think I'm being silly, and I should just get it, but I'm 18, nearly 19, and I'm thinking about alot of stuff that most people my age don't have to think about.
I don't know, I'm waiting on an info package on it now, and we'll see how we go from there, the S-ICD is fairly new in the world of medicine, though it has been used plenty in the UK, I'm told. Anyways, that's enough from me, until next time.

43 dollars
in 3 hours.
plus the 6 dollars I get for just showing up to work.
16 bucks an hour.
I celebrated with an Oreo McFlurry.
a la mode.
HAHAHA jkjk.
Socializing is so much work.
too much work.
It's amazing how clear it is to see God working through so many people.
And how excited and crazy they are to serve Him and give their life to His glory.
It's amazing.
I'm in awe of them.
Their works.
How unashamed they are.
art fair
more art.
bubble island bubble tea.
1 1/12 hour ride home.
olive garden.
the vow.
the office.
hot cheetos.
chex mix muddy buddies.
milano cookies.
SO. MUCH. FOOD. aghhh.
I just went to Emart.
Gloomy days like this can always be fixed with good Korean food.
and random variety shows in which you have no idea what they're saying.
and plastic chairs and tables.
and that one family of like, 8 people that ordered in front of you so you end up waiting three times the wait for your food…
because they practically ordered every single dish.
but. anyway.
yum. :]
So I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all. So I'll stand, my soul Lord to you surrendered, all I am is Yours.
This song came on today when I was driving home from practice. And is it crazy to say that everything I've been running from these past months it kind of all crashed down on me with those words.
You spoke the earth into motion.
So much power, so much greater to be able to speak the earth into living, breathing, moving. As Esther would say, "This is our God". Because that's just how great and powerful he is—to the point of incomprehensibility. And that's something I forgot. Wait no, I didn't forget -I'd never forget- but it's something that I've turned to hide from. Because life is just so much better and freer when you don't have to think. It's so much easier to leave everything behind and to go with the flow, slip into the mainstream, secular, conformity of society.
In awe of the One who gave it all.
How can somebody love something or anything at all so so much that they give up their life to follow that one thing forever? I am still at a loss for people like that. They're in awe of Him. And I'm in awe of them.
It is crazy. These past few months…I've been so lost. I've slowly, but gradually been cutting off this rope I have tying me to anything of this so called Christianity. Not like I've ever doubted. Not like I've stopped believing. But because I didn't have the strength to be. To just be the person I was expected to be. I grew apart from CBC friends- the kids I grew up with, I didn't talk to them anymore. I lacked any root in any other church organizations I went to. There was no point to put all this effort into..almost nothing, it seemed. For me, and the way I saw my life compared to other people's lives it was almost like there were people who weren't Christians and yet, everything works out for them because they never knew God. They never knew Him so there's no guilt in what they're doing wrong. There's no 'wrong' for them so everything works out just damn peachy. And then there's me. Who struggles every. single. day. Who can't even accomplish devos for two days straight, who sits and wonders why nothing is working for me. And everybody tells me I have to pray and be a good Christian otherwise God won't bless me. So I'm cursed. The other people don't have this God to please so they can do whatever the fuck they want and it doesn't matter until they die. And they can be good at things and have all these damn accomplishments that I never got to have. And everybody who told me to pray and be good. Well those were the same people who told me those accomplishments I never got to have were because I didn't pray and wasn't good. And yet the other people who never knew Him don't have to pray and be good. The way I saw it, everything was just so much better if you weren't forced to know and I was sick of knowing. That's when I gave up. I was in this deep hole in the ground with ropes and ladders all around me pleading that I take their help but I never did.
I chose to stay there.
Because finally, finally I was fitting into friends and people. They liked me. And it was great, to be liked, to be loved. That sense of belonging that I had never found in the places I was supposed to. It was great to be able to have fun without tension and panic. Without the thought of oh, I shouldn't be doing this. It was fun. It was free. I was free.
Is that scary? Do you think it's scary? How close to the edge I am right now that I might just fall over and never look back?
Don't be scared.
It's just the truth.
I got my first college letter today for swimming!
nothing special, but it's a start.
oh happy day
For once you finally see what I'm thinking and you say I'm at risk. Hell, you should know that it's been a while. The risk has been risked and it's far too late to turn back now. Stop trying to control everyone's lives. You'll end up with nobody on your side.
It has not so much been a way to take that next step in life, that next step in responsibility.
No. It's more like.
I've realized how lonely I've become and what it's done to me. I've realized just exactly how anti-social I've become, and how I can no longer carry a conversation. Much less initiate it. I've realized that life sucks not having any good friends. Not just friends. But good friends. Not besties. But good. …If that makes any sense.
The kind where you text and call 24/7, the kind where they literally know every detail of your life. Where you introduce them to your other friends and they introduce you to their other friends. Where they are able to invite themselves on your family trip up north. And it really doesn't matter because they're thismuch a part of your family. I need the good friend who will know every single aspect of who I am and what I do without judgement.
And really, that's the problem. Because I am a two-faced double edged sword. I am a diamond with too many facets. I am the most infinitely-pieced-together kaleidoscope.
Of fake.
See, I'm too much.
Too much in too little a being.
I dabble and I can't commit.
Can't commit to the good. Can't commit to the bad.
So far I'm the only one I know who's like this.
And being this fake person with too many sides to life…
It sucks.
Because it's so damn lonely.

Company Name: Curls by Sister Smith
Product Name: Fabulous Body Butter
Price: $6.50 8 0z
Consistency: Extremely thick
Scent: Many to choose from
Ingredients: shea butter, cocoa butter, aloe butter, coconut oil, water, castor oil, Hydrovance
Purchase from: Curls by Sister Smith
I've been using this butter lately for my winter-abused skin. It's the type of moisturizer you can just slather on and it makes my itchy/ashy skin feel so much better.
When I describe the consistency as thick, I mean Noxema thick. So it takes awhile to sink in. I ordered the peppermint scent and it was very light and disappeared a few hours after I applied it.

What You Should Know Before You Travel
Most people will travel to some place far from home at least once in their lives. Whether you are a rookie or experienced traveler, gaining traveling knowledge is always helpful. This article will supply you with travel advice that might come in handy one day.
Purchase tickets on the Internet in advance and print them at home when you have a specific destination, like a theme park, in mind. Just avoiding the time you will wait in line makes up for the small online printing fee. Timed entry is another option that can allow you to bypass long lines to pay for admission.
Workout at the gym the day before you take your flight. A long flight can be extremely boring. Sitting in the same position for long periods of time can cause leg and back cramps. If a workout is out of the question, then at least do a little stretching before you board.
Make sure your passport isn't expired. Some countries have very specific rules regarding passports, including when they expire. Depending on the expiration date of your passport, a country may not let you visit. Usually this range is between three and six months, but some countries can require more, even up to a year.
Weather can play a huge part in the amount of enjoyment you get out of traveling. Check forecasts so that you know what the weather will be during your stay. This way, you can prepare for unpleasant surprises and plan alternate activities if the beach is too frigid or the ski slope is sweltering.
Be sure to bring plenty of bottled water when traveling out of the country. Drinking water in a foreign country can lead to stomach problems. Use bottled water any time you need water such as when you brush your teeth. It is quite possible to become ill if you do not use it for this type of personal hygiene task.
Sign up for the email alerts that some travel sites offer. These sites will alert you should accommodations or flight prices change. You are able to receive alert via email whenever something has changed with regards to your travel arrangements.
Avoid waiting until you arrive to obtain local currency. You can get that country's currency easily. Get your foreign currency out of a bank's ATM. A lot of times these machines offer better exchanges rates, and are cheaper than using an exchange.
Get a room on the highest floor possible. It might seem like no big deal, but thieves have an easier time breaking into rooms on the ground floor. If possible, avoid rooms where sliding doors are present. A room with a sliding door can be broken into more easily.
When traveling, it is important that there are copies of any important documents you may have. Keep these copies of passports, insurance information, and any other pertinent documents in a safe place as backups for the originals. Leave another set of copies with someone you trust in case something happens to your copies.
Be very cautious of any unsolicited emails you receive for travel deals. Never open emails from a travel company that you do not specifically do business with.
If you are planning to travel abroad, make sure to purchase your electric adapter here before you leave. If you wait till you get to the airport to purchase one, you will likely pay more than twice the local price.
If you decide on bringing along a pet on your trip, call ahead to see what hotels accept pets and what their fees are. Look in various places before choosing one that fits you and your pet's needs.
Hotels have many patrons at once. When you stay in a hotel, be conscientious of your neighbors, as you would want them to return the favor, by not slamming doors or being overly loud. People at hotels may be trying to sleep at any time of the day or night. A little consideration and common sense are all that are needed to keep things quiet for your fellow guests; monastic silence is not required.
You should know before you arrive at your destination what the laws and local customs are. Actions that may be considered acceptable in your home town may turn out to be unacceptable or even illegal somewhere else. Respect the local authorities when traveling.
When traveling, you should rotate drivers often. Consider taking more people on your trip if you are going far away. Avoid driving when exhausted. If possible, share the driving with someone every couple of hours. Switching up regularly is important to making sure you reach your destination safely.
If you have taken a flight and your checked luggage has not made it to your destination, do not panic. Locate and approach the lost luggage desk and obtain the proper paperwork to file a lost luggage claim. It is very rare that bags are lost forever; a little patience at this point will go a long way.
Make sure to favor dark clothing when packing for your trip. Wrinkling and dirt are two things that happen in any travel situation. Dark clothes can conceal both. Use darker colors with brighter-colored accessories to avoid looking dreary.
As you can see, traveling is something most people will end up doing at least once. With some preparation, your travel plans should be a little easier. You should be equipped to deal with many of the difficulties. Behaving correctly, knowing a little about the culture and having the ability to communicate will make your trip more enjoyable.

Well, I couldn't sleep.
Here's an update.
All of the roads that are currently on this map are really just place holders. Once I am satisfied with their positions and the lay-out I will go back and redo them. At the same time, all of that space that is green between the buildings will be paved as well (or whatever).
I had to take a break from drawing buildings and stuff tonight - so I threw together a little something more artistic. You can see it in my Homebrew Maps thread over in the World/Region Mapping section.
Well, I couldn't sleep.
Here's an update.
Haha, now this is turning a city

Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
I haven't posted an update in a couple of weeks. I've been kind of busy. My wife had our new baby, I had to rebuild my computer from scratch, my oldest daughter turned two, so on and such forth.
I have also been working on a couple of other things. I have a new dungeon I am working on that I might post up in a day or two - I don't know.
As far as Opal Island goes, here is the latest update. I have added a few metric butt-loads of buildings, retweaked some roadways, added an orchard, some pasturelands and a few other odds and ends. AS always, C&C are welcome and encouraged!
I'm digging it.
The wharfs though, see a little to artificial. They are perfectly straight and 100 feet wide and in the case of the one near 62, over a third of a mile in length! (A mile is 5280 feet, or 1760 for a third of a mile). This means a caravel (standard Fantasy fair ship), with a length of 20-30 meters or 60-90 feet would be able to birth almost 20 of them Bow to stern along the longest dock.

Wow, this is turning into a very good looking, sprawling city. Really cool!
I still think you need more roads though
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Here is tonight's update. I retweaked the docks/wharf considerably after chewing over what NeonKnight had to say (Thank you Very Much, BTW). Lemme know what you think.
I also added several more buildings, and some trees.
The roads are coming Gandwarf, the roads are coming. Much of the green areas between buildings will eventually be paved. I am going to have four different types of pavement: Heavy Traffic roads, Light Traffic roads, Back Alleys, and Court Yards. The thick brown lines you see now are only place holders.
Another thing I am wanting to do is put in a couple of sea-walls. Even though this is an island on a large freshwater lake, its big enough that waves could be a problem. Also, I think it would look cool.
Any feedback and commentary is greatly appreciated.
This is looking really cool, Katerek! I haven't seen this thread before. How are you going about making the geometric shaped building lots (pictured below)? Is the process automated or semi- automated or are you doing them by hand?
Superb work and looking forward to seeing more of this. I particularly like the way that no one lot is entirely 'landlocked' by other lots.

Looking good. The docks are much improved!

OREGON Scientific sells an electronic weather station with indoor and outdoor sensors. Reader Robert Caillau was tickled to discover among its many listed features: "Predicts the weather forecast". Feedback prognosticates an interdisciplinary conference of meteorologists and linguists to decide whether this is easier than predicting the weather itself. We bet it didn't predict that weather forecast forecast...
THE Chambers dictionary describes a "bestseller" as "a book that has sold many copies, overall or in a given season". So presumably the Book Club Association from Swindon, Wiltshire, which advertises "The latest bestsellers - as soon as they're published!" in its recent prospectus, has some kind of forecast forecast too?

Brits take iTablet moniker for 12in iPad rival
35mm thick?...
Obviously not a head to head competitor to the iPad then - I know Apple seem to go to extremes to make things smaller than they really need to be, but I think this looks far too big. Maybe this is the laptop replacement device that so many geeks seem to want.
Thai firm flies in early-80s style keyboard PC
A laptop...
..without screen or battery or optical drive.
I like it - particulary the low power consumption.
MS store staff in spontaneous electric boogie
I am so glad I do not work there - being a Brit there are loads of things to be ashamed of but I am happy to be stuffy if it means we do not do this kind of stuff.
If I had been in the store I as a customer, I would have walked out - those staff should be serving customers not doing some stupid corporate dance.
Corporate culture - resist the crap!
Boffins working on biodegradable flexi LED implants
....this allows changeable Tattoos for people who change partners sooner than they expected.
Intel touts NAND-killer breakthrough
It is what I am waiting for
The unified memory - get rid of all this copying data back and forth, don't bother 'loading' an app into RAM, just run it where it is, modify a few bytes her and few bytes there, only duplicate when you need to.
Now all we need are OSes which would work with this architecture.
Bridge made of recycled plastic supports 70-ton tank
But I would like to have seen a bit more of what the bridge was spanning as being track laying vehicle, it spreads the load out more than say a lorry with a few axles and therefore I wonder if it is mostly resisting shear forces at the ends rather then bending moments in the middle.
I still like the idea of it - something (else*) to use up all that dumped plastic.
*Thermal insulation made from recycled drink bottles seems to be getting common now.
Peugeot looks to 1940s for quirky e-car design
Why are they given such free reign these days? - is the car industry trying to kill the electric car by making them undesirable? Why do all these electric cars have to look weird? (with a few notable exceptions of course)
If I was designing an electric car, I would make it function well first before trying to make it look good. It's a bit like architects coming up with the design then asking the engineers to make it however complex and impractical it is.
Liberty launches McKinnon paper plane campaign
I wonder how much effort the UK authorities would make to find/recover Mr McKinnon if he was kidnapped? (Obviously benevolently by people who would take good care of him)
Asus laptops top for reliability in Q2
Although I think they have done the best they coudl on the numbers the have collected, I wonder if:-
1 More linux notebooks shipped in Q1, and linux users are more ready to have a go at fixing things for themselves or conversely later machines had more windows and less skilled users 'messing them up' - I am not a linux user myself but would opt for it if I was getting a notebook (unless Apple comes out with something AA1 sized and similarly priced - yes I know.......)
2. How many of these issues were OS/Config/Software/User cock-up related and not hardware issues?
Nice to see figures in context though.
Staten Island manhole swallows texting teen
If I was the Judge
And this came to court, I would to the DEP - 'have your learnt our lesson?' and waited until the explained without prompting how sorry they were and how they made a stupid mistake and will make sure it does not happen again. I would ensure they pay for a sneaker and nominal sundires - plasters and then I would ask the claimant if she had learnt her lesson to pay attention to what I around her and then I would dismiss the case and tell the lawyers tough, go do some proper work.
Honda promises hybrid Jazz, CR-Z next year
Trouble with Jeremy Clarkson
is that he and Top Gear, entertaining as it can be (though more often purile) it only seems to assess a car's ability to go as fast as possible around a race track and how good the think it looks. We never hear how good a car is for going on a longer journey with lots of luggage or how good it is for bringing stuff home from the DIY store or other important practical stuff.
I did see last week's with the dogs and small cars which was a bit of an exception and made me laugh uncontrollably.
NASA working on 'open rotor' green (but loud) jets
Passenger miles per gallon
I read in the 70s that typical passenger miles per gallon were:
Car:- 150 (I guess 4 passegners - 35-40 mpg)
Jet airliner: - 90 - i guess a full 490 seat Jumbo - I am not sue how man of these there are.
Diesel Train:- 800 - I presume this is also full, and I suspect that an empty passenger train uses only a little less fuel than a full one - I'd bet tube trains vary more full vs empty while express trains vary little.
I also suspect that the figures should be revised for modern transport. Some modern cars are getting much better mpg and I do not know the quoted figures for more recent airliners. I suspect trains are much the same as man can go faster but probably return the same pmpg.
(Imp gallons used here)
The return of the diskless PC
Combine RAM and SSD/HD
I want a computer where the app does not 'load' into 'RAM', but the RAM and 'HD' are effectively the same thing so there is no loading - it just runs from where it is - surely this is where the technology should be heading (and yes I realise current flash memory is not suitable for this)
Dell designs 10in netbook for Bash Street
I actually like it
And I'm a mac fan. It is plain and lacks fussiness - I am not excited by uber-thin. (still will not be getting one though)
Doro PhoneEasy 338gsm
I agree on your comment about the battery being flat when probably needed - thoguh having said that my parents have these as 'normal' mobiles - they never text or use voicemail - when they make a call they want to talk.
'Its not like there aren't normal phones around now with big buttons, and vibrant large screens which would suit them down to the ground, as for complexity, well just dont tell them how to get to those features!' - I find most non-tech people have a habit of finding the hidden features, changing the settings and then not being bale to use the device again.*
[not necessarily @Stu]
This phone has hardly any features/settings. Sadly you cannot turn off the annoying chime it makes when you turn it on - at least I was unable to find it....
But I feel this is a good idea - too many device these days are deisgned with too many great features which are too diffcult to use or avoid or just get in the way.
*My mother in law used to set the video by following the instruction manual to the letter. One step said select LP/SP and she had no idea what this was so pressed the button each time. Alternate recordings were SP and LP. Too many features I think.
Leaving PCs on costing UK business millions
Understanding power
Most people have a very poor grasp of power consumption. They tend to know that boiling the kettle 'uses a lot of electricity' but do not equate this to a similar amount of energy used by leaving a 100W bulb on for an hour. I blame everyone for this, the education system, the media, the government.
The majority of the population see this as 'Science' and are turned off immediately. It is either too complicated before they have even tried or too dull. The main reason we have trouble getting students - particularly females - into science/engineering is that it is not sexy/groovy/fashionable.
The media have a very poor grasp of numbers and science. It's all 'carbon' - whatever happened to -dioxide and -monoxide??? Why cannot they say kWh instead of KW for energy used? Why do they have to emphasize 'billion', when put into perspective the relative quantity might be small?
I work with a load of engineers who should all understand power (watts) but they still leave PCs idle when they go home - probably through laziness. I put a simple power tester on our idle PCs and found they used around 30W sitting on their login screens - and let's face it - most offices are mostly unattended for 70% of the time (evenings/nights/weekends)
I suspect companies need help in this respect rather than the iron fist approach, but turning off unused items (lights, aircon) would make massive savings to energy used - forget the money and cost savings - that would be a bonus, what about the environment and fuel stocks?
Skinny, curvy Asus Eee inspired by MacBook Air
Screen border still too big
I agreed with many of the comment about netbooks getting too big - a bit like hatchbacks - the original VW Golf is the size of today's Polo..
What I think the manufacturers are missing is making the bezel around the screen narrower and giving us a larger screens but in a more compact unit overall. I don't care about the camera above the screen.
ITV 'could dump' Friends Reunited
I am surprised it has lasted this long
When I first started using it I thought it was interesting to read what people claimed had happened in their lives - what really annoyed me was people saying the had Jonny ad Mary aged 5 and 7 - how do you get children who don't get older each year????. After a few months I thought - the 'inventors' need to sell that asap and get out of it.
The creators sold it about a year later and still appeared to do well - which surprised me because I thought it had had its day then.
I think social networking will now be with us for the foreseeable, always re-inventing itself, but it has peaked and many of us will never sign up - I have since signed out of FU and never been on Facebook, bebo etc.
Apple prices MacBook Pro battery surgery
But without VAT..
The UK price without VAT would be equivalent to $175.65
I wish people would stop comparing US prices without sales tax with UK ones which include the VAT. Apple list prices appropriately for the the country where they are selling, and yes, when the non-VAT price is much higher it annoys the shit out of me, but if you don't like the VAT rate have a word with the treasury/government.
'Podestrian' risk rising for drivers, warns insurer
@Tony Green
I agree and some pedestrians will not look if they cannot hear anything coming, like a silent bicycle.
UK launches major road signage review
Only a little weaking required.
IMO UK road signs are pretty good and clear. I have just been driving in France and theirs are not bad, but unlike ours, lack useful detail until you get right to the turning.
Having said that why does the 'no cycling' sign simply show a bicycle? - surely a bicycle with rider and a red stripe through it/them would be more logical??????
Tardy Apple finally releases DNS patch
Is'nt he/she a Reg staff troll? - I think a lot of sites have them to get hits/responses for their advertisers (source of income)
Just adding my response.
BAA 'invented green superjumbo' to OK Heathrow plans
Freedom to fly
What I don't understand is why so many people talk as if they have some god* given right to fly as and when they please.
(*apostate/atheist here - no particular god as such)
Hopefully the price of oil and credit crunch will start to have an affect on the number of flights people take and reduce the number of aircraft flying - though just be be balanced - I do realise that this affects the poor first.
Asus blames lack of Linux Eee PCs on Atom hold-ups
Who makes the SSD in the eee 901? - if it is Intel then maybe - otherwise I am doubtful of this explanation. Shurley shame mashine except for OS and 'HD'????
Apple punts 'Penryn' iMacs
RE: UK Pricing etc
"I can't help noticing the obvious price hike for the UK - £799/$1199 should be more like £599/$1199 !!"
Um, not quite, US price does not include sales Tax, UK one does. So in fact £599 inc VAT would be a better deal than the US price - however at roughly $2=£1 the price ought to be more like £705 inc VAT.
I blame Apple UK for this (the £95 'overcharge') - I doubt Apple US gives a damn what the prices are overseas - maybe that weird Mr Jobs might open an international store with international pricing someday....[/wishful thinking]
Disintegrating wind turbine caught on camera
Explosive blades
I understood that the blades on big wind turbines like this are on synchronised* explosive couplings so that the blades can be ejected in situations like this where the rotational speed gets too high? (*Hence why they all fly off simultaneously)
Forth Bridge painters to down brushes in 2012
There was a programme about it
Sorry to be boring, but there was a programme about it a while back and this time the process of repainting is much more than just painting over the top. Sections of the bridge are carefully sealed against the elements, old paint is shot blasted to bare metal and the metal is primed asap with a decent (etching?) primer with corrosion protection - I was told once by a shotblaster (person) that bare steel starts to oxidise quickly once being exposed to air and getting the primer on asap is important.
The primer is cheked with some sort of handheld scanning device to ensure it has coated/stuck/taken properly to the metal else it gets blasted off and they start again that area again.
Hopefully this will last or they can build a new one in stainless (if there is that much chromium around...)
Asus reschedules 8GB Eee PC to Q2, moles claim
Bigger display?
I like the Eee but I wish it had a slightly bigger display - not just resolution, but the border around the edge could be made thinner to accommodate say an 8 in display (if there is such a thing) but not increase the overall size of the machine.
Still - seems a good value device.
Laptop power cranks up a gear
Not so silly..
What is the difference between this and a treadle 'powered' sewing machine or potters wheel - very little except that potter or seamstress/tailor is probably doing some actual work.
I think this is a great idea - I would love a treadle desk to recharge/power a laptop or even a desktop - might eat some of those excess pounds we westerners are prone to accumulate and would save time and money wasted at the gym.
BBC HD channel gets green light
@ Steve Foster - Freeview radio
Yes I listen to freeview radio - well sort of - I record it via a USB DTT tuner - but only because I have not found an easy to use radio recorder which works like a video recorder with the ease of programming of the better ones. I know there is
listen again, but quality is a bit iffy and there are a few programmes which are not available.
But I sort of agree - if the number of DTT TV channels was reduced to 10 quality ones instead of the 25ish crap plus 5 so-so ones....
Mayor Ken buys hydrogen buses for London
Hindenburg did not explode - hydrogen safer than petrol
Half of the passengers on the Hindeburg survived - none of them were blown to bits and the fireball went upwards away from the poor falling people - jet liner disasters though rarer usually have a much higher death toll.
Hydrogen is explosive and burns nicely if it leaks an ignites, however it does not explode if it leaks - it needs to be nicely mixed with oxygen to go bang.
Also if if does leak, it floats upwards and away unlike say petrol or propane which will hang around creating a nice explosive mixture so yes it has its problems but it is not as dangerous as the ignorant posts here suggest.
If hydrogen could be readily generated from solar powered electrolysis then maybe it is a good idea and I think trialling 10 hydrogen buses is a brave idea - at least then they can be assesed on reality rather than a load of idiots on a discussion forum.
eBay employee 'torpedos' fraud trial
eBay checks
I have only had one bad ebay experience as a seller when a winner of a bid said he would not pay as I did not take paypal at the time - he had not read the listing properly and did not trust me (his words) with £5 even though I have 100% rating and I am a private seller of 'my old stuff' - no problem, I sold the item to the next bidder. I decided against marking him down as I suspect he was the kind of stupid idiot who would have retaliated.
As a buyer I always check before I buy/bid if the seller allows you to collect the goods. If the seller does not or will offer no addres - I smell a rat. Also anything over £50 I would not dream of paying for without seeing it first. Pretty basic stuff this.
I always offer local collection on sales even thoguh 99% of the time people live too far away for the item or it is to cheap to worry about.
2012 Olympics to be 'car-free'
Can I apologise now to the rest of the World
For the fiasco the UK Olympics will be.
It will not run well - we are not good at running things - the infrastructure will not be ready or capable.
It will costs loads - much more than predicted beacause the UK is full of greedy people wanting their 'cut'
It will not even break even.
It will not revitalise the areas concerned (I work in White city which had the Olympics in 1908 - I undertstand it has been a dump before and since then and for at least the past 20 years)
Many of the best seats will be filled by people who have not paid for them - just like WImbledon and major football matches - fortunately I don't care except we all pay indirectly for corporate sponsorship and get little for it(maybe that's why many things in the UK are expensive)
Why is'nt the Olympics more like a circus which brings a resuable portable stadium where it goes rather than dumping underused expensive stadia all over the place?
On the upside, I intend to rent out my house and go on a World tour for 5 weeks (I hardly travel so my carbon footprint is banking up now) - I will just have to to keep quiet about my nationality.
Apple to announce HDD-less iPods tomorrow?
'Apple will tomorrow unveil revamped iPods - the first without a hard drive' - I don't understand - Nanos and Shuffles both use flash memory???????
