We are, of course, bored with course boards: an online alternative to formal course meetings
Dron, J. and Masthoff, J. (2004) We are, of course, bored with course boards: an online alternative to formal course meetings Italics, 3 (2). ISSN 1473-7507Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/italics/Vol3-2/cour...
This paper discusses the implementation of an online course board, an attempt to conduct formal course meetings using simple web-based threaded bulletin board technologies. This technique seeks to address some of the problems of conventional meetings where individuals can dominate proceedings, most attendees waste much of the time being bored and there is a heavy investment of time and money for little direct benefit. Although it provides solutions to some of the problems of traditional face to face meetings, the online discussion mechanism suffers from a number of weaknesses which negate many of the potential advantages. The paper describes some procedural solutions to these weaknesses that have been implemented, and technical solutions that are being incorporated into a purpose-built environment for running course boards.

What can I do with my zaatar?
- b
- benbenberi Feb 10, 2012 01:19 PM
I've come into possession of a rather large pouch of good Israeli zaatar, and although I don't want to use it up too fast, I don't want it to sit around till it's lost its flavor.
So, besides mixing it with olive oil to dip bread in (which is yummy, but I don't eat a lot of bread anymore), what are some other recommended uses for zaatar?
i add it to all sorts of stuff. i cook a big batch of sauteed mushrooms each week to have with eggs or on toast for meals during the week and fry it in the oil, along with dried thyme before putting the mushrooms.
it's great with sauteed peppers or tomatoes, onions, fennel and shrimp too.
Roll goat cheese in it. Add it to Greek yogurt as dip or as a marinade for chicken or pork and grill. Add it to butter and spread it on good bread and broil. Stir it into plain hummus. Add it to a falafel mix. Goes well with sliced cucumbers, baked potatoes and grilled onions.
I first heard of zaatar here
for everyday, I sprinkle it on pan fried chunks of potato, cottage potatoes.
I used it in a fish stew the other night, which was very good. But my favorite, and very easy, use is from a Rozanne Gold recipe. It's just za'atar mixed with some finely grated parmesan cheese and olive oil, spooned over ripe tomatoes. Toasted pine nuts on top. Delicious every time!
lebanese flat bread http://arabic-food.blogspot.com/2008/...
lebanese meat pie http://www.tasteofbeirut.com/2011/05/...
re: alkapal
Those meat pies sound wonderful! I've added that recipe to my must try list. I'm curious whether you would suggest adding za'atar in addition to the spices mentioned, or as a substitute (since the spice combination already calls for sumac).
ETA - Now that I think about it, it would probably depend upon the ingredients in the za'atar one had on hand.
re: L.Nightshade
hi nightshade, my lebanese friend makes a version of these meat pies, cheating by using pillsbury crescent dough. they are nice size as snacks. very satisfying to eat, too. ;-).
i'd use the za'atar as a substitute for the listed herbs.
za'atar is primarily thyme, in any event. so, in general, anywhere you'd use thyme is a good place for za'atar. using it in salad dressing is nice, too.
quickie flatbread: brush olive oil on tortilla, sprinkle with za'atar & bake…et voilá! (even can microwave!) you can also bake pillsbury dough like the tortilla. you can also do roll-ups & bake. brush outside with olive oil. nice cocktail snackie.. (would be good with some goat cheese, too).
re: alkapal
I'd still add the cinnamon thought. I find it so compelling in meat dishes with Middle
Eastern or North African flavors. Mmm. Thanks for the links and ideas!
re: L.Nightshade
oh yes, the cinnamon. that is always in those meat pies.
re: alkapal
Well alkapal, this recipe stuck in my head, so I made a cheating version today, using only ingredients I had on hand. I had some beef roast that was already cooked, which I minced as finely as I could, added onion, garlic, tahini, pomegranate molasses, pine nuts, tomatoes, cinnamon, parsley, and, of course, za'atar. I baked them in frozen/thawed puff pastry. The puff paste didn't work very well for the basket shape, so I switched to empanada style packages. For an afternoon project with stuff on hand, these were great. Lovely flavors. I can't wait to try them according to the actual directions! Thanks for the link!
re: L.Nightshade
nightshade, great job! those look so neat and delicious. i like the empanada style, too! isn't everything better wrapped in dough of some sort? LOL. it is nice to find a re-purpose for the leftover beef roast. (i usually end up making a hash with potatoes and onions, but you've given me a good idea here).
i was looking at the "canister" doughs yesterday to see if i could find the "french loaf" one, and i did find it from pillsbury. i've been noodling around the recipe idea that uses it to make stromboli (or what one recipe called "stuffed bread"). http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Sp...
and when i was on the pillsbury site, i saw these cute soup "bread bowls." http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/toma... i like the idea of using the flaky biscuits with the sesame seeds. (i love sesame anything).
It is great for breakfast - both with pita bread. 1- Mix zaatar with olive oil and brush it on the inside of a split pita bread. Toast under the broiler. 2 - Spread a cream cheese on a pita bread and sprinkle zaatar on top then toast under broiler.
It's a blend of sumac, sesame seeds, that often includes thyme, cumin, things like that. Some is coarser then others. If you can find a shaker with holes large enough to work with your zahtar, adding it to the condiments on the table is a fun way to let people try it on whatever they like. Or just put it in a small dish and use it in pinches. It can be added to food before cooking or after. It's good sprinkled on cheeses like feta. Maybe on eggs? It's a fun challenge trying to find how you like it best. Or maybe you won't? Adventure!
Everything. It makes everything delicious. If you're on a diet, put it in plain cottage cheese. It's transformational.
I make a za'atar crusted striped bass with a spiced carrot puree. I season both sides of the fish with salt, pepper, and za'atar. I cook it skin side down in olive oil for about 3 minutes, then flip for 3 minutes more.
We made this for Sunday dinner and loved it. Good use of zaatar.
Its great on potato wedges in the oven & I put it on my chorizo traybake.
1 pack raw chorizo sausages cut into 4
1 pack pork & leek sausages cut into 4
very liberal dusting of zaatar
olive oil
4-6 roasted red peppers torn into strips
fresh mini corn cobs, in 1/2
new potatoes, in 1/2 length ways
2 large red onions, in wedges
4 large garlic cloves, skin on & hit with knife
large closed cup mushrooms, in big chunks
Sling everything in a roasting tin, mix & put in oven for 45 mins, turning half way through. Serve with chunky bulgar wheat salad.
Over the weekend, my son roasted some red bell peppers which he marinated in olive oil, crushed garlic and zaatar. Delicious!
My SO made a salad with shredded cucumber, red onion, and whole olives with a zaatar viniagrette last night (from The Spice Bible ... a cookbook we've been loving recently). I think my own zaatar might have lots its pep but the shredded cucumber and onion salad is a keeper.

Cuba's Communist regime has telegraphed a message to dissidents Orlando Luis Pardo @OLPL, Yoani Sánchez @yoanisanchez, Rosa María Payá @RosaMariaPaya, and any others who were allowed to travel outside the country:
One week after returning to Cuba, Lady in White is missing after being beaten and arrested by Castro State Security
Yesterday, the Castro regime carried out its usual Sunday of violent repression against members of Cuba's peaceful human rights group the Ladies in White when they joined together for Sunday church services as they do every Sunday. As the women stepped out of the church after Sunday mass in the town of Palma Soriano, they were met by Castro State Security agents who began to viciously punch them and beat them with umbrellas before placing them under arrest.
Among the Ladies in White victimized by the violence of the Castro dictatorship was Belkis Cantillo, a Lady in White who just a week ago was in Brussels to take part in the long overdue acceptance of the Sakharov Prize the group had won in 2005. Ms. Cantillo was one of the women who was beaten and arrested by the Castro political police before being arrested and taken away. As of this morning, her physical condition and whereabouts are unknown.

En Twitter, OLPL.
[With apologies to my English-only readers.]
Jaime Darenblum describes Why Cuba Is Getting More Repressive
Raúl Castro's economic reforms are less significant than his crackdown on dissent.
* During the first nine months of 2011, the independent Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation (CCHRNR)documented some 2,784 "incidents of human-rights abuses," compared with 2,074 in all of 2010.
* In March 2012, Amnesty International reported that, since 2010, there had been "a steady increase in the number of arbitrary detentions," with the Castro regime waging "a permanent campaign of harassment and short-term detentions of political opponents." One of Amnesty's Cuba researchers affirmedthat "Cuba has seen worsening repression when it comes to human rights."
* Over the next ten months, between March 2012 and January 2013, the number of political prisoners on the islanddoubled (from 45 to 90), according to the CCHRNR. Those figures only include prisoners jailed on explicitly political charges; the total number of Cuban political prisoners is much larger, since the regime is holding many dissidents on bogus criminal charges.
* In its latest Freedom in the World report, Freedom House says: "The Cuban government oversaw a systematic increase in short-term 'preventative' detentions of dissidents in 2012, in addition to harassment, beatings, acts of repudiation, and restrictions on foreign and domestic travel."
* Overall, notes Miami Herald correspondent Juan Tamayo, Cuba witnessed "a record 6,200 short-term detentions for political motives" last year.
Then there is the story of Oswaldo Payá, a world-famous Cuban dissident and founder of the Varela Project who (along with fellow dissident Harold Cepero) died last July after a highly suspicious car accident. As Wall Street Journal columnist Mary O'Grady has written, Payá's daughter, Rosa María Payá, believes that his car "was intentionally rammed from behind by another car," and that her father's death was "a probable murder." In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Spanish politician Ángel Carromero, who was driving the car carrying Oswaldo Payá, said that they were rammed by a government vehicle whose occupants were "staring at [them] aggressively" before the collision. Carromero also said that, after the crash, he was drugged and threatened by Cuban authorities, who subsequently convicted him of manslaughter. (In December, Carromero was repatriated to Spain, and he has since been paroled.) Florida senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat, has urged the United Nations to launch "a thorough independent investigation of the events leading up to Payá's death."
The death of Payá and the broader campaign of repression against Cuban activists are troubling enough. But for U.S. officials hoping to abolish or ease sanctions, the elephant in the room is the ongoing detention of USAID contractor Alan Gross, a Maryland resident who has been held in a Cuban prison for more than three years on ridiculous espionage charges. It is hard to argue that Havana either deserves or desires warmer relations with Washington when it continues to hold an American hostage. Gross, who turns 64 in May, has seen his health deteriorate, and has reportedly lost more than 100 pounds since his incarceration.
Events in the first quarter of 2013 point to an ongoing trend of a broader political crackdown on religious freedom in Cuba, while reported violations tripled in 2012.
Mary O'Grady reported on Sonia Garro, who has been held in prison without charge since March 18, 2012.
The reason for this trend, according to Darenblum, is that the dictatorial gerontocracy is afraid of the growing democracy movement. I would add that the gerontocracy is also aware of their mortality.
And they'll fight to the death.
Judge María Lourdes Afiuni Mora has been in detention since 2009 without trial; she has now written a book detailing the horrors of her imprisonment, during which she was tortured and raped while in jail. She was moved from prison to house arrest in February 2010.
The book is titled, Chavez me puso presa. Habla la juez Maria Lourdes Afiuni (Chavez Imprisoned Me. Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni Speaks.)
Venezuelan blogger Miguel Octavio posts, With Afiuni's Case, Chavez' Revolution Shows Lack Of Compassion And Scruples
What was not known to the public, but the Government and the UN were informed of, was that Judge Afiuni was tortured and raped while initially incarcerated at INOF in Los Teques. This was only publicly revealed this week, as a book was published with Afiuni's story. The story is no surprise, Venezuela's penitentiary system has become a terror story of how human beings are treated with less respect than animals at the country's jails. What is sad is that Afiuni also had to suffer this additional violation of her rights as a human being to satisfy Chavez' whims and that despite her suffering, nobody in the Chavez Government showed any form of compassion towards her.
But it gets worse.while the Minister for Women says that it has to be investigated and "if true" her rights have to be guaranteed (about time!), the former Head of INOF who goes by the name of Isabel Gonzalez tries to turn it around against Afiuni and says (without any support) that she will sue Afuini, because it is all false and her accusations violate human dignity". They also now deny that the accusation was presented to the UN, which her lawyer clearly says was done and today Maria Corina Machado publicly scolds Chavez, because he knew the reality of what had happened to Afiuni.
I failed to mention this courageous woman's ordeal in this morning's podcast; the fact remains that Chavez continues to repress all opposition prior to the December 16 elections for state governors and state legislators.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced plans to travel to Cuba as early as Tuesday for more medical treatment, even when earlier this year he had declared himself "cured".

Chen Guangchen and his family are on their way here,
BEIJING — Blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng, who emerged at the center of a diplomatic row between the U.S. and China, left Beijing on a United Airlines flight bound for Newark, N.J., Saturday afternoon after Chinese officials and American diplomats swiftly arranged his travel out of the country for an uncertain new life in the United States.
Chen, in a brief telephone interview with The Washington Post, said he still did not have a valid passport in hand when he received a call Saturday from Chinese officials telling him to pack his belongings.
"They came to my ward suddenly at around 11 o'clock this morning," Chen told the Post. "It's a surprise."
Chen said U.S. diplomats arrived at the airport around 2 p.m. Chen's wife, Yuan Weijing, reached by telephone while waiting for the flight, said Chinese officals gave the family their passports after they arrived at the airport. U.S. diplomats readied the visa papers.
United Airlines Flight 88 to Newark took off several hours behind schedule. The delay was likely caused, among other things, by a thunderstorm.
His flight is scheduled to arrive in Newark at 6:05PM.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Chen will most likely study at NYU rather than seek political asylum.
Chen's Freedom Celebrated by Ros-Lehtinen, Says Must Remain Vigilant Against Human Rights Abuse by Beijing
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement today regarding the announcement that Chinese lawyer and human rights advocate, Chen Guangcheng, has left China for the United States. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"I am pleased and relieved by the announcement that blind Chinese lawyer and human rights advocate, Chen Guangcheng, his wife, and their two children have left China for freedom in the United States.
"Mr. Chen's journey to the U.S. marks the end of a seven-year ordeal of harassment, imprisonment, and beatings by the Chinese regime. He dared to publicly speak the truth about the abuse and violence that Chinese officials inflict on the women and families of his home province and, for that, he suffered greatly.
"I remain gravely concerned about Chen's relatives and fellow human rights advocates who remain in China and face retribution by a Beijing regime that denies the most fundamental freedoms to the Chinese people.
"Congress will remain vigilant on behalf of Mr. Chen's relatives and fellow activists. Their well-being must remain a priority for the United States. Responsible nations must not lose sight of our moral responsibility to support those who suffer under the chokehold of repressive rulers."

Petition to Pres. Obama to protect Chen Guangchen
Heritage held a press conference with Bob Fu, President of China Aid and Tiananmen Square student leader and Reggie Littlejohn of Women's Rights Without Frontiers. Both have long established relationships with Chen.
It is worth noting that Chen shares with Cuban dissident Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet a concern for the rights of women not to endure forced abortions.
Roger Kimball is posting about Bulldozed: "Kelo," Eminent Domain and the American Lust for Land, the book his firm Encounter Books published,
which was the subject of a defamation suit brought by the wealthy Texas developer H. Walker Royall. Royall must have really disliked the book. He sued:
1. Encounter Books (of which I am the publisher);
2. The author, Carla Main;
3. The law professor Richard Epstein, whose tort was to have provided a blurb for the book (yes, you read that correctly: Epstein wrote a blurb: Royall sued him);
4. A Texas newspaper, whose sin was to have run a positive review of the book;
5. And the hapless author of that review.
It lead to A free speech fight as big as Texas, which has a happy ending as it also is a victory for free speech,
In ruling this way, the court preserved the right to criticize government without fear that persons who do business with municipalities will sue, saying they were personally defamed by mere association with government. One can easily imagine the chilling effect the absence of this protection would have on free speech in an age of public-private real estate partnerships, bank bailouts, the Solyndra loan and other government forays into the private sector.
And, remember,
You can buy Bulldozed's Kindle version and read it right away.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance, which offers motor insurance to vehicles, has announced that it will charge 15% more premium to cover diesel cars over petrol cars.
Amitabh Jain, Vice President (motor), ICICI Lombard, told reporters that diesel cars are mostly used for commercial purposes and the exposure to risk is higher for these vehicles. He added that 15% additional amount will be charged over the basic premium so as to cover the expenses of maintaining and securing the business.
Other general insurance companies are also considering increasing the premium rates on diesel cars as they feel that the maintenance and risks involved are higher. Sanjay Dutta, Head of Customer Service, ICICI Lombard justifies the hike in premiums by stating that diesel cars run more than petrol cars and hence are exposed to higher risks.
Nilesh Garg , Executive Director, ICICI Lombard said that companies consider the vehicles age, location and model and are now looking to factor the demographic behaviour of the driver and the miles driven. For this, the company is creating a database and will soon implement it. He added that the loading is not same for all model instead it will depend on the age of the model.
Insurance companies have incurred huge losses in the motor insurance segment. To combat these losses, IRDA recently hiked the premium rates on third party motor insurance cover for all vehicles that hit the road. For goods carrying or commercial vehicles the rise in premiums was almost 68%. This increase was made effective on April 25, 2011.
An increasing number of people are more inclined towards buying diesel cars or CNG cars over petrol cars. The government recently increased diesel prices by Rs 3 on June 24. Now, with an increase in the insurance premium rates on diesel vehicles, it is apparent that vehicle owners will have to shell out more money to run their cars.

This is ridiculous. We are college students and we are adults. Seattle University should not censor our internet. Whether it be crude humor, gun websites, or porn, we are adults and we can choose what we look at on the internet. The university is trying to regulate what is "appropriate" but that is including what we may find funny, our political stances, or our right to our own sexuality. Not even to mention this is an academic institution and many of us regularly work with this material for academic reasons. This needs to end now.

|How are Caladiums measured?
Caladiums are measured by the circumference of the bulb. The greater the circumference of the bulb, the more food can be stored by the plant to give it a better start and greater success.
A larger bulb will produce a fuller plant with more flowers, giving you a more beautiful garden. A #1 Caladium bulb will produce a fuller, stronger plant.

Interesting fact… Glen Gordon 15 Year Old (Gordon & MacPhail) whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Glen Gordon 15 Year Old (Gordon & MacPhail) whiskey, instead of whisky.
The nose is of good body with rich notes of Madeira and bramley apple, hints of spice and honey and a thickness. There are notes of star anise and barley, a hint of oak and a fresh mint note. The palate is of medium-body with good balance. There are notes of cut herbs, particularly fennel, there are notes of Madeira and calvados with a touch of oak. The finish is soft, yet of good length with toasty oak and spice.

Install an SSD drive and upgrade to Windows 8 at the same time.
I have ordered an SSD drive that should arrive at the same time as Windows 8 is released later this week.
I want to install the SSD drive and do a clean install of my PC OS at the same time. I intend to keep my HDD for saving photos etc..
What is the best order in which to approach this?
I was thinking I could:
- re install Windows 7 on the SSD, format the HDD and then buy the Windows 8 upgrade
- buy the upgrade before installing the SSD and create the upgrade installation DVD. Install the SSD drive, boot up from the HDD and then use the clean install facility on the Windows 8 upgrade DVD to install Windows 8 onto the SSD and reformat the HDD?
Will this work?
|My System Specs

Win7 x 6 PC's
I'd Clean Install Win8 since you have to start fresh anyway.
In Windows 7 if you install Upgrade version to new HD you must leave Product Key blank during install and afterwards do Option 3 workaround in Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version. We're waiting to see if it's the same with Win8. You might find out faster in our sister forums Windows 8 Forums

Las Vegas is moving east to Clinton. The Student Union Board is hosting its next big event of the year on Friday, November 11th, from 9 pm until midnight –[...]
PC's Homecoming weekend marked a celebration for people of all ages. Not only did our Blue Hose football team win, but we had many alumni on campus who were joyously eager to meet up with their college friends and reminisce on the way things used to be.
students who are joining our college for either a semester or maybe even just two, need places to go and things to do during the times when full-time American students look forward to the most—BREAKS! So I present the question—WHERE DO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GO DURING BREAKS and or LONG WEEKENDS?
Homecoming is a tradition that has been celebrated since the early days of our parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents. It is a time to show pride for our institution and celebrate the alumni who have carried on the beliefs of PC to the outside world. It is a time for those alumni to return and remember the impact their college career had on their lives. It is a time for parents of current students to visit and celebrate with their students. It is a time for the freshman to rejoice and see what PC is all about.
Lately, women of all ages (and a few men!) have been enjoying a new form of exercise called Zumba. Enjoying exercise is an ironic statement considering the fact that a lot of the time people do not always enjoy working out, but Zumba puts a whole new twist on exercising.
Mel Gibson said it best in Braveheart when he gave the advice "run, and you'll live." And with those words, the Presbyterian College Fun Run was born.
The Chinese Corner is a to way broaden PC students' horizons and educated the average American student about China's way of life. Not only are the events informational, they are full of entertainment that will help students with little or no knowledge about Chinese culture become eager to learn more and more.

It felt amazing to stretch his legs after being on an airplane for so long. The situation at customs was fucked though - he had been sure that they wouldn't get out of it with their drugs. The idea of being stuck in Russia with their tosser of a teacher leading the way without drugs was enough to make him want to buy a ticket home. Thankfully, they'd managed to get their drugs through the checkpoint.
Now they were miles away from the airport with a bag full of empty promises of education at their feet. They all knew that they weren't ever going to even try to learn anything. Everyone except for their teacher, that was. He seemed to think that he could actually teach them something. Crazy, right?
They should be unpacking their stuff, getting themselves prepared for their stay here, but Tony and Maxxie had different plans. There was enough time to poke out into the woods for a spliff or two before lunch.
"Let's get off the phones and just get to it, yeah Tone?" Maxxie said as he slid his phone into his pocket. He thumbed at the lighter he had hidden in there for a moment before pulling his hand back out. "Come on!" He reached out and took Tony's hand, then tugged him towards the trees behind the hostel.
Tony breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that they were finally off of that dreadful airplane. It'd been fun for the first few minutes but after being trapped 33,000 feet in the air with his classmates on the flight from England to Russia, he was happy to get a bit of fresh air again. In addition, getting high would be a lovely change of pace to listening to their dull teacher drone on and on about things that no one more or less gave two shites about.
Tony wondered if Tom actually expected anyone to try and learn anything. They could learn anytime (though most of them usually chose partying) back at home. Since most of their parents hadn't been able to get time off of work to go, they were all but unsupervised in Russia. Who would seriously rather learn than have fun? That was most of their philosophies back at home anyway. It was even more so in a completely new environment. Fuck education and work, they had their entire lives for all of that nonsense. They only had a certain amount of time to have fun.
Tony knew he probably should have been unpacking his things and probably head to bed early but he and Maxxie had other plans. If they'd calculated things correctly, there'd be enough time for them to light up before anyone realized they were gone. Drugs would definitely make listening to their teacher a lot more bearable.
Tony slid his phone into his jacket, making sure to turn it on silent before. He could talk to Michelle later; most of what she had to say lately had been rather boring anyway. He wanted to enjoy the time he had left in college, not be strapped to some tart for the remainder of it. Tony followed along with Maxxie behind their hostel. When they reached their desired spot, Tony's gaze fell upon Maxxie. "A lot better than listening to that old todger talk out of his arse about history, eh mate?" Tony said, flashing Maxxie a smirk as he leaned against a tree.
It makes me wonder if she'd be okay with it, but I'm pretty sure she'd do more than box your ears for it. Watching her punch you would be bloody brill though. You deserve it. Just don't let her catch you in a cock up.
I brought enough papers that we don't have to filch anything to smoke. We just need to find a nice, quiet corner somewhere.
She'd probably be pissed off for a while and then come crawling back; broads always do. I totally don't deserve it, life's about doing whatever you want and getting away with it, right? That aside, she won't catch me. If it was going to happen, it would have probably happened already.
There're some woods behind this hotel. Can't let Tom and Angie spot us, though. We don't need to be under some kind of bloody house arrest for the duration of this trip.
Oh come on, like you ever let Michelle get in your way. I've seen the looks you give some of the other girls. But you better make sure she doesn't find out, because you know she'll go ass over tits about it if she does.
Looks like nothin'. Let's split.
More or less true. Being chained to one person just doesn't do it for me but like hell I'm going to tell her that. The last thing anyone needs is a cheesed off Michelle.
Time for some real fun.
There's more to the world than tits, Tony. Besides, they're not really my thing, you know that. I think I've got an eye for men in uniform though, because some of the security guards were lookin' right ace.
Then let's split off from the herd and find ourselves a nice, private setting to make that dream a reality, yeah?
Guess we'll see about that. Mm, I dunno about that but hey, shit could happen. I don't think Michelle'd like it very much, though. Tits or pricks or anything in between. Sod it, what she doesn't know can't hurt her, right?
What are we waitin' for then, mate?
↳@thestonem About time I got off of that plane. Let's see what Russia's got to offer. #selfie (via instagram)
I can't wait to get out on the streets!
Then I can light up this spliff and the fun will really begin.I was gettin' pretty aggro, strapped to that damn seat, but now I'm free!
Was expectin' a bit more but then again, there's ample time to explore. Already heard Anwar raving about some peasant girl with huge tits so something's bound to happen.
I'll smoke to that.

The Sinnerby Tess Gerritsen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Not even the icy temperatures of a typical New England winter can match the bone-chilling scene of carnage discovered at the chapel of Our Lady of Divine Light. Within the cloistered convent lie two nuns-one dead, one critically injured-victims of an unspeakably savage attacker. The brutal crime appears to be without motive, but medical examiner Maura Isless autopsy of the dead woman yields a shocking surprise: Twenty-year-old Sister Camille gave birth before she was murdered. Then another body is found, mutilated beyond recognition. Together, Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli uncover an ancient horror that connects these terrible slaughters. As long-buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes close to home-and toward a dawning revelation about the killers identity too shattering to consider.

What's in a name? Glenturret 22 Year Old 1985 - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory) whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Glenturret 22 Year Old 1985 - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory) whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Sweet, and not unlike poly cement, but definitely in a good, interesting way. Hints of the smell of fibreglass insulation in attics. Freshly baked poppy seed cake and honey.
Palate: Sweet and spicy. A very interesting, digestive biscuit flavour comes through, as does that general attic-iness. A very curious little whisky with quite a bit of golden syrup sweetness.
Finish: White sugar and shortbread.

Astros hot stove | Harden appeals fine | Texans front office frustrated
Houston Astros
- Jon Heyman (CBS Sports) reported that other teams are looking into the availability of Jason Castro. I wrote my thoughts about a possible Jason Castro trade here.
We know Castro has improved on offense and may finally be breaking out. The former first round pick was hitting .310 with six home runs and a .954 OPS in 37 second-half games before his injury. We know the offense is there but his defense is a bit iffy. Castro has struggled to keep the ball in front of him though he does have a good arm behind the plate. With Castro's injury history and spotty defense, it's possible the Astros may be willing to trade their All-Star catcher if the deal is right.
- David Coleman (Crawfish Boxes) on the Astros reported interest in free agent Curtis Granderson.
- Astros County reviews the season of Carlos Corporan.
- Astros tweet of the day…
J.D. Martinez has played three games in Venezuela and is 6-for-12 with three homers. #Astros @JDMartinez14

Houston Rockets
- John Kelly (CSN Houston) on James Harden fighting his flopping fine.
"The first one, I really did get hit in the face," Harden said. "I'm trying to appeal that right now. I really did get hit in the face, it was just a late reaction."
- Michael Ma (Space City Scoop) on Terrence Jones possibly sneaking into the rotation.
- Tom Haberstroh (True Hoop TV) (Video) spoke with Daryl Morey about several different things.
- Rockets tweet of the day…
Dwight Howard has 119 rebounds through 8 games, 2nd-most through the 1st 8 games of a season for a Rockets player over the last 25 years. — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) November 12, 2013
Houston Texans
- Tania Ganguli (ESPN) on the Texans admitting a mistake by releasing Ed Reed.
Reed's time in Houston never went smoothly. He showed up with a torn labrum in his hip that the Texans missed during their lengthy physical before signing him. Once he was healthy, his snaps were still limited. By now, the Texans have gotten to the point where they feel more comfortable starting Shiloh Keo at free safety than a future Hall of Famer.
- Stephanie Stradley (Houston Chronicle) on the Texans front office being frustrated with the current coaching staff.
- Patrick D. Starr (State Of The Texans) on the Texans new addition Jawanza Starling.
- Texans tweet of the day…
Texans HC Gary Kubiak is expected to coach Sunday vs. Raiders, per league source. He's building up his hours this week.

Open Government
The Center for Effective Government on March 13 released a report on the government's Freedom of Information Act response efforts, finding that agencies processed more FOIA in 2012 than in previous years, and that backlogs have declined even as the number of requests has grown. But more requests are being redacted, the report found, and the cost of FOIA processing varied widely from agency to agency.
The data "suggests there may some economies of scale in processing FOIA requests," the report states, but volume alone does not explain the variations -- the State Department spent more than four times as much to process each request as did the National Archives and Records Administration, which responded to roughly the same number of inquiries.
The full report, which includes additional processing details, historical trends and other analysis, is available on the Center for Effective Government website.

The CIA I can understand, every document probably has to be reviewed by a dozen people before it is approved for release. The Archives seems strange, but I guess it depends on what they are asking for and how far back in what vault those documents are stored. The Archives stores a really large amount of hard copy documents. Energy, NASA, and Commerse I would think might be getting more technical requests that are harder to compile. In the end, it is hard to tell what is going on unless you know how many requests are going to each group and what their review process is and what information is being asked for. It may be people are asking for boxes of documents or just proprietary information that belongs to their contractors.

No doubt, all of you have at least some notion of what Sakhalin is. A large island in the very East of Russia with bears walking along its streets and people going to work by deer and having caviar for breakfast… But all this is well-known that's why today we decided to tell you about something that you probably don't yet know about Sakhalin, namely how oil and gas are extracted there.
One of the two large oil projects is called "Sakhalin-1″.
The project includes the development of three oilfields: Chayvo, Odoptu and Arkutun-Dagi located on the northeast shelf of Sakhalin. The development of the first two of them is already in full swing.
The Odoptu field is located 9 km away the northeast coast of Sakhalin, near Piltun Bay.
And this is the small model of Chayvo.
The development of a field is carried out with the help of the boring rig called "Yastreb" ("Hawk").
At the moment, "Yastreb" is the largest and most powerful in the world land-based boring rig, specially designed for the "Sakhalin-1″ by "Parker Drilling". It was assembled in the United States in 2002, then tested, disassembled and brought to Sakhalin.
The height of this thing is about 70 m.

Did you know there was a new Crow movie in the works? It's true! And not only is there a new movie based on the James O'Barr comic book character, but the film's producers have even selected the next actor to portray the avian-named titular character.
According to a post on Deadline Hollywood from this weekend, Luke Evans will appear as the Crow in the new movie. While his name may not be too familiar just yet, Evans is beginning to carve out quite the resume of geek-friendly roles, even before having been cast as the newest incarnation of the Crow. The post points out that he'll be appearing as Bard the Bowman in this year's The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and he'll be reprising his role in the third and final installment in The Hobbit trilogy next year as well. Add that role to his appearance in 2011's Immortals, and 2010's Clash of the Titans, and Evans' credits in movies that are larger-than-life seem to make him a good choice for the new movie.
So who's behind this new Crow flick? That would be Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez, whose first movie was called Before the Fall, depicting a world that discovers that an Earth-destroying meteor will fall in three days. Sounds like just the kind of pedigree for the bleak, gothic fantasy of The Crow, wouldn't you say?

Jamie Cruce isn't interested in talking about dress rehearsals or measuring sticks.
Cruce, Bethany's football coach, expects his team to play well today in its season opener, just as he will in every game the Swedes play this season.
"We've got to be ready to play," Cruce said of Bethany's game against Southwestern Assemblies of God at 6 p.m. in Waxahachie, Texas. "We don't look at this as a gauge to see where we are. We view this as the first game of the season. We need to get out there and play well. If we do that we think we'll have a chance to win. That's all anybody asks for."
Cruce said his focus is on his team and not so much was the opposition does.
"We want to try to play mistake free football," he said. "Don't turn the ball over, no blown (defensive) coverages, play sound special teams. Those things are important early in the season.
"You don't know what the opposition is going to have. At places like Texas and Kansas State, everybody knows what their guys are rated before they get there. At our level you can get some guys who come in late that are game changers. You have a lot of unknowns."
Southwestern Assemblies of God was 4-6 last fall and returns 13 starters -- seven on offense, six on defense. Quarterback Reid Golson is back along with running backs Sean Haynes and Cade Leuschner, wide receiver Nick Morphew and three offensive linemen.
"(Golson) played some last year and ran the football some," Cruce said. "We watched film of last year and when he was in high school. He was a talented high school quarterback and has been at some other schools.
"We expect some sort of spread offense where they let their quarterback get out and run a little bit."
Defensively, SWAGU lost all three linebackers from last season, but returns defensive back Nick Ekanem, who has 10 career interceptions.
Bethany will counter with senior quarterback Darby House, tailback Tevis Linnebur who replaces Junior Allen, and a group of talented wide receivers starting with Brandon Martino, D'Andre Thompson, Chris Lewis and Marco Franco. Former basketball star Haydon Parks will open at tight end and Chad Wollenberg at H-back.
The key will be the Swedes' offensive line where five new starters will line up, four of them transfers.

Portrait of a Minister (1 Timothy 4:6-16)
- Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Once upon another life, before I was a minister, I did a lot of other things. I was even a caricature artist. One day, as I was pursuing my work amidst a gaggle of people all gathered around me at a fall festival, I was commissioned by a father to draw his child. I began to draw the person in front of me. It was a tremendous portrait, if I do say so myself. There was only one small problem: when I handed the portrait to the father he said, "This is not my daughter." I had drawn the wrong kid. The portrait was a perfect rendition of the child in front of me, but it was not the man's daughter! It is important to get the picture right!
We know that as fathers. And so we look to the model of fatherhood in the Bible to draw a portrait of the man we should be. We look to the Bible to get the right portrait of a godly mother and wife and everything else in life.
It is important to get the portrait of a pastor. We may have all sorts of ideas about what a pastor should do or shouldn't do, what he should or shouldn't look like.
Once I was getting my haircut, and I discerned that the barber was not a Christian—indeed had little or no background in the faith. As we were talking, I felt I had finally broken through, when he said, "May I ask you a question?"
"Yes, of course," I said with some hope for a breakthrough!
"Do all priests and monks and ministers like you have this little round place cut out in the back of their heads?" Well, he had the wrong picture of a minister to be sure!
It is important that we get the right picture, the right portrait of what God is calling us to be. This is important for a seminary. This is important for a local church. It is important for your own walk with the Lord.
Now before you check out and say, "This is a good sermon for preachers; but since I am not a preacher, this is not for me," remember that God's Word has something to say to every man and woman and boy and girl here today. For as the Lord gives us a portrait of a minister approved by God, we also see features of the believer approved by God.
Context and depth and perception are important in painting. It is so here. You see, in 1 Timothy 4:1, Paul painted a portrait of apostasy. So he turns to Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:6 and paints the portrait of faithfulness to resist the apostasy and even to save himself and others from the deadly consequences of such teaching.
And so it is in this context that Paul the apostle instructs Pastor Timothy: "If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine."
Because we live in a world of distorted images drawn by men, it is important to focus on the portrait of a pastor approved by God.
Paul speaks of Christ Jesus and calls Him, in this passage, "the living God." He emphasizes the divinity of our Lord Jesus by calling Him this. So let us follow Paul's language and speak of a minister approved by Christ Jesus. Exactly, what are the features of this portrait of the Christ-approved pastor (and remember, we can take the same features and apply them to a "disciple approved by Christ Jesus")?
The first feature is this:
A minister approved by Christ Jesus is a disciplined minister (vv. 6-8).
The training that Paul speaks of in verse 9 is in fact "discipline." One of the best books I have read on discipleship is based on this very verse and is called Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life. Paul is calling for Timothy to be practiced, disciplined, trained as he goes out.
The minister is not naturally given to the life of servanthood and sacrifice and trial that is going on at Ephesus. He must be "trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine." Moreover, we read in verse 7 that he should be "trained in godliness."
At Reformed Theological Seminary, where I serve, we call this training outcome "a mind for truth and a heart for God." This is the Pauline combination of faith, doctrine, as well as godliness. But what is clear is that God expects training to be in place for ministers and in fact for all of God's people, but especially for ministers of the gospel.
I once had a young deacon, naive about the ministry and sadly ignorant about the Word of God, tell me, "I see you give a speech a couple a times per week and then get all this vacation time. This sounds like a pretty good gig to me! Where do I sign up?"
In the training of Timothy, Paul trained him in order to bring about God's kingdom to a most unruly situation. Just look in 1 Timothy and see what this man faced.
• Timothy faced false teachers in 1 Timothy 1:3;
• Timothy faced the need to be transparent, like Paul, in laying his life bare before enemies in order that they might become, like Paul, a trophy of God's grace (1 Timothy 1:12); and he would have to learn that the power of Jesus to plant churches and revitalize churches lies not in his strength but in the power of Jesus moving through a broken man before the cross;
• Timothy must hold to the faith with a good conscience in spite of hardship and in the presence of others who are slipping away (1 Timothy 1:18);
• Timothy must deal with controversies in worship (1 Timothy 2:1);
• Timothy must address the issue of how to integrate faith and politics in praying for kings and all in authority (1 Timothy 2:1);
• Timothy must untangle the messy problem of women in teaching positions in the church, and he had to address the issue of the role of relationships of men and women in ordained ministry (1 Timothy 2:8);
• Timothy had to make sure that the people knew the qualifications for elders and deacons as well as the deacons' wives (2 Thessalonians 3:1); and just to go up to our text and not go any further;
• Timothy had to face off with demon-possessed false teachers who were deceiving the flock and imposing ungodly rules about marriage and diet!
Now, who wants to apply to be a minister?
The Bible is clear. The work of the gospel is opposed by Satan, not naturally accepted by the flesh and resisted by the minister himself, once he comes into contact with the demonic and the anti-Christian attitudes of not just the world but those who bring the world into the church!

Abstract. We have systematically studied the inability of boundary layer turbulence to efficiently mix reactive species. This creates regions where the species are accumulated in a correlated or anti-correlated way, thereby modifying the mean reactivity. Here, we quantify this modification by the intensity of segregation, IS, and analyse the driving mechanisms: heterogeneity of the surface moisture and heat fluxes, various background wind patterns and non-uniform isoprene emissions. For typical conditions in the Amazon rain forest, applying homogeneous surface forcings, the isoprene-OH reaction rate is altered by less than 10 %. This is substantially smaller than the previously assumed IS of 50 % in recent large-scale model analyses of tropical rain forest chemistry. Spatial heterogeneous surface emissions enhance the segregation of species, leading to alterations of the chemical reaction rates of up to 20 %. For these cases, spatial segregation is induced by heterogeneities of the surface properties: a cool and wet forested patch characterized by high isoprene emissions is alternated with a warm and dry patch that represents pasture with relatively low isoprene emissions. The intensities of segregation are enhanced when the background wind direction is parallel to the borders between the patches and reduced in case of a perpendicular wind direction. The effects of segregation on trace gas concentrations vary per species. For the highly reactive OH, the differences in concentration averaged over the boundary layer are less than 2 % compared to homogeneous surface conditions, while the isoprene concentration is increased by as much as 12 % due to the reduced chemical reaction rates. These processes take place at the sub-grid scale of chemistry transport models and therefore need to be parameterized.

On Thu Mar 27 11:17:20 1997,
Bill Paul (wpaul () CTR COLUMBIA EDU) wrote:
NIS+ clients run a daemon called nis_cachemgr which is designed to
cache directory 'objects' returned from NIS+ servers. The object is
really an XDR encoded directory_obj structure (as defined in
<rpcsvc/nis_object.x>). The tricky part about nis_cachemgr is that
any local process on the system is allowed to send it requests to
cache objects; nis_cachemgr is basically just an RPC server, with
a protocol defined in <rpcsvc/nis_cache.x>. Since NIS+ directory
lookups are performed by library code in libnsl, they might be made
by anyone on the system; hence nis_cachemgr must be prepared to
accept updates from privileged and unprivileged users alike.
The cache (/var/nis/NIS_SHARED_DIRCACHE) is later accessed by other
processes: if, say, user 'foo' does an 'niscat passwd.org_dir,' this
will cause the org_dir object to be saved in /var/nis/NIS_SHARED_DIRCACHE.
Subsequently, user 'bar' may issue the same command, but rather than
asking the remote server to do a directory lookup all over again,
the client NIS+ library reads the org_dir object from the cache.
An obvious question is: what happens if a malicious user decides to
write his own client program to talk to nis_cachemgr and instructs it
to load the cache with bogus objects? How can nis_cachemgr tell if
the request is legitimate or if the user is just trying to be a wiseass?
The answer is supposed to be the 'signature' contained in the fd_result
structure returned by the NIS+ server (rpc.nisd). The server is supposed
to compute an MD5 digest of the encoded directory object and encrypt it
(with ecb_crypt()) using a Secure RPC conversation key. This conversation
key consists of the server's secret key and the requester's public key.
(You can get it from the keyserv daemon with the key_get_conv() function.)
Since nis_cachemgr runs as root, its principal name is the same as
the 'requester' listed in the finddirectory request, hence it will be
able to compute its own signature and compare it to the one generated
by the server (using its secret key and the server's public key).
Since only the server knows its RPC secret key, it should be impossible
for a user to forge a directory object because it can't create a proper
But here's the problem: from what I can tell, rpc.nisd never signs its
directory objects and nis_cachemgr never checks for them. I've run
several tests with Solaris 2.5.1 on a couple of different machines.
I've set up a dummy root server and a single dummy client, with all
the right credentials. Authentication of the client works correctly
and the service seems to function properly. However, when I use a
test program to call the NIS_FINDDIRECTORY procedure on rpc.nisd,
the server sends back an object without a signature. I tried several
different variations (using AUTH_DES authentication, using AUTH_SYS
authentication, using no authentication, running the program on the
server host itself) but I could never get rpc.nisd to supply a signed
directory object.
At first I was convinced that I was omitting some magic in my test
program since I could tell that nis_cachemgr was adding directory objects
to the client's cache. The nis_cachemgr man page states that it will
always attempt to authenticate the signature unless you start it with
the -i flag (to activate insecure mode). I did not start nis_cachemgr
with the -i flag, so it should have been checking for signatures and
if rpc.nisd wasn't sending them, it would never have updated the cache.
Finally, after simplifying the test program as much as I could and
still not getting any results, I started to think that maybe the problem
was with rpc.nisd after all. Thanks go gdb, I finally learned what was
going on: the insecureMode flag in nis_cachemgr starts off initialized to
0 but is forced to 1 later in the program even though nis_cachemgr was
_NOT_ started with -i. In other words, nis_cachemgr doesn't really check
for signatures at all, which bore out my hunch that rpc.nisd was never
sending them. As a further test, I even toggled the insecureMode flag
back off with gdb and let nis_cachemgr continue running; now, as I
expected, it would no longer add any directory objects to the cache since
it couldn't verify the signatures.
Bill's analysis is correct. nis_cachemgr does not check for signatures
resulting in the possibility of loading bogus directory objects in the
cache managed by nis_cachemgr. This is a bug that is fixed in Solaris 2.6
which is expected to be released later this year. The only workaround is
to disable nis_cachemgr on the client machines. Sun is investigating
patching this bug for Solaris 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 and will announce the
availability of the patches later through a Sun bulletin.
