text: Word on the street Slowgirl Racing is closing the doors at the end of this month. Guess all the rip offs they got away with finally caught up with them. Surprised they made it this long seeing the laundry list of forum complaints and many complaints to the Better Business Bureu (BBB). Last year they tried to scam me from a refund for an item I bought with cash and they tried telling me they cant give refunds and got the run around for 6 weeks to get my refund. The customer service is horrible and tell you what you want to hear just to get your money and your lucky if you get your parts in a month if they even ship it. From all the other forums they are known for taking your money and not sending the item and then play dumb that the part was "lost". Just glad there is one less scamming shop out there to take peoples hard earned money!

11-Year-Old School Bullying Victim Tries To Commit Suicide
RALEIGH, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) – The family of an 11-year-old boy says he tried to commit suicide after being bullied at school.
Michael Marones' mother tells WTVD-TV her son was teased mercilessly because he is a fan of the TV cartoon "My Little Pony."
Michael parents found him hanging off the top rail of his bunk bed.
He was rushed to the hospital, but his brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long, he remains in the hospital on life support and the damage to his brain may never heal.
"He's the kid that never walks. He dances everywhere," said Michael's mother, Tiffany Morones-Suttle. "He's so full of energy. He's always on the move.
Stepfather Shannon Suttle says Michael's favorite cartoon was all about teaching kids to live in harmony despite their differences.
"It teaches the most basic moral values to a lot of complex thoughts."
Other fans of "My Little Pony" heard about Michael's plight and have chipped in money to help pay his medical bills.
Some of the money will be used to start a non-profit organization to help kids who are bullied in school.
"I've heard a lot of people say you need to go after bullies and hold them responsible," said Tiffany. "But you know, I don't think that's what Mike would want. I would rather teach people how to do right than turn around than punish, because punishment doesn't always work."

Guest writer number 6, Arita Baaijens, has been very helpful when it comes to advice on all topics regarding the desert. Once I asked her, since she speaks Arabic and is as much Bedu as the Bedu themselves, are you Moslem? Arita got slightly upset and answered: I am a free soul! Indeed she is! She is also a biologist, author, photographer and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Twenty years ago she gave up her job as an environmentalist, bought camels and made a solo crossing across the Western Desert of Egypt. Today she has made over 25 expeditions (3-6 months at a time) with her own caravan of camels all over Egypt and the Sudan. She travelled the Forty Days Road twice with trade caravans of camels. In the eastern desert of Sudan she and archaeologist Krzyzstof Pluskota discovered a hidden valley with hundreds of petroglyphs depicting cows. She just came back from Darfur (Sudan), Egypt and Mauritania. Although she knows everything about camels, she intends to travel on horseback from Siberia to Afghanistan. Her most recent book Desert Songs, a woman explorer in Egypt and Sudan (AUC Press, 2008) won an award in the Netherlands.
Female leadership in the desert!
Venus and Mars in the desert
During the past twenty years I've spend most winter seasons exploring the desert of Egypt and Sudan on camel. Sometimes friends kept me company during a leg of the journey, which was great. Camels are wonderful animals, but a conversation with them can be boring because they are only interested in food. So it was fun to have a friend around, although, to be honest, with some of them the fun didn't last very long. A week at the most. After that the top-dog type of guys – never seen a desert, let alone knew a thing about camels – would point out how I could and should organize my caravan in a much better and more efficient way.
"This is the limit," one of them shouted with a face turned purple. I was repairing a broken saddle without consulting him. A terrible insult, according to him. "Well, do you know how to do it?" I asked genuinely surprised. "No, but you don't have to rub into my face."
Another friend was annoyed because I made him feel insecure whenever he walked with the camels. Why? Picture the following scene: my friend climbs steep hill after steep hill with heavily laden camels and after two hills I, of course, tell him to circumnavigate those hills. Something he would have done automatically if he would have been the one to carry the load. Anyway, my friend was not amused and our never ending arguments threatened the relationship. So in the end I decided to give it a try and shut up in order to let him learn from mistakes. It worked. Until one of the camels seriously injured herself because of a stupid and unnecessary mistake my friend make. 'No more soft approach,' I decided there and then.
My top-dogs friends had a problem with female leadership, I decided. But as the list of incidents grew doubt crept in. 'Maybe it is me,' I thought. After all, I was the only constant factor in all those stories. A man in my position would never question his leadership style, but being a female, I wondered what I could do to avoid future fights. I searched for female role models in the desert and hoped they could teach me a few tricks. But alas, female caravaners were hard to come by. All the local desert guides where male and they couldn't care less about the feelings of their staff. On the contrary. A guide, or chabir, does not accept any criticism during a dangerous desert crossing. Which makes perfect sense. A guide is responsible for the lives of people and animals in the caravan and conflicts create tension and confusion, which in turn may affect his judgement.
Imagine my joy and disbelief when about five years ago I came across a thesis about trade in west Africa. The historian who wrote it claimed and proved that women in the region played an active role in caravan trade. As a merchant, investor and even as a caravaner.
Recently I travelled to Mauritania and met two female caravaners, both well into their seventies now. I also met the sons and daughters of a locally well known woman who had worked as a trader and a caravaner. One of her sons, now a grandfather, rubbed his knees and shins with a painful grimace when he talked about the long journeys with his mother. The whole family went together, parents and children, and they were on the road for several months. The children walked or sat on top of salt loads, hour after painful hour. The caravan would only come to a stop after sunset. And after such an exhausting day the mother still had to cook. Women were also responsible for selling goods at foreign markets. The profit was used to buy local products they could sell back home.
When I asked men and women about the daily routine in a trade caravan, nothing indicated that women had an inferior position. "Men and women worked together," an old man commented. Many others confirmed this. In I learned that in Mauritania women have always had a very strong position in society and within the family. Women are also well educated. When I explained to a few young women that their Dutch sisters, in order to keep their marriage intact, pretend that their husband is the boss, the girls laughed and laughed. They just couldn't believe what I said. In Mauritania, they giggled, it is the other way around. Men like strong women. Indeed, if a spouse bosses his wife around she knows something is wrong. Very wrong. When a husband acts out of character he usually fancies another woman.
Needless to say that I had the time of my life in Mauritania, where I met a lot of bold, bright and strong women. The Mauritanian caravan model functions, these role models taught me, because next to every strong woman stands a gentle man.

Dear Mikael,
it has been a while since I found out your blog on the Internet….And
the article about more women in adventure was the one that got me.
Why I am writing…Because part of my life I dedicated to adventure. I
had spend a lot of time outdoor during my early 20-is and couple years
ago I decided to ride a bike from Slovenia to Beijing, China and back.
I had one rule – every single km on bike….. It was experience that
left a mark on me. And yeap being a woman was different. I paid the
price or still paying it while processing things that happened while
being on the bike.
And one of the hardest thing is being back. In society. I would like
to do more adventures, but I do not like to see that because of
adventures I am something more, super strong…. I am human. I am
woman. I cry and smile. (which I am learning again to use feelings in
everyday life…) At the moment I am in Georgia. And I meet some super
strong woman here. The system decided for them to make their life
harder, but they have the power and energy to fight back with
education, with gathering, supporting…. They are doing small step
but for sure they are doing them.
Go back to adventure thing. Personally I learnt a lot using nature or
traveling as best classroom for experiential learning, but I am not
saying it was hardest. For me it was and is the thing I love. It is
just different. But at the end of the day it is egoistic selfish act.
Because I dream I have to do it. I have to try it…..But for my
family, they do not understand but they have to except it…..And
beside it all, the question still remain now what is next?
There is one thing I had to do after I return back was read and read.
Because I had to many questions. I am still searching for the answer
and to find kind of balance in my life… There will be more traveling
in remote areas and harsh environment, but the "biggest" adventure is
to try to find couple people around myself who thinks similar and make
life better for few more. To be a positive role with what I am doing
in my everyday life. Adventures are part of it, but for sure it is not
all and there is no price tag on it.
Hope and wish my words makes sense. Would be more then glad if you
decide to share your opinion.
Wishing you all the best with future adventures as in everyday life as well,
Marija Kozin
Slovenia, but for now in Georgia
I would love to meet you, Arita, and I wish had known you before I went walking! What a wonderful article – and I related to every word.
Keep trekking, girl, what amazing adventures you have had and continue to do. I am envious and admiring….
@Marija Kozin
Dear Marija,
I have often struggled with the same questions. Am I egoistic following my dreams? should I do something more useful? After many, many years I came to realize that the world offers space to all of us. Factory workers, mothers, fathers, scientists, civil servants, people who live according to their agenda and people who don't. The world would be a sad and dull place if it was only inhabited by so called responsible people. Artists and adventurers open the door to another kind of reality, not governed by the clock and duties. We offer a breeze, a bit of fresh air in a world run by bureaucrats and the clock. Living your dream IS egocentric and at the same time by doing so you offer others a glimpse of another world, you also show that one can live life to the full by doing what you love to do most. It doesn't mean that traveling is the thing to do. But for people like you and I it is. If you feel uncomfortable, ask yourself why. The answer will give you a clue about what to do next. After giving up my regular job 20 years ago – the only compass I wanted to rely on from there on was my heart. Not easy, but very rewarding in the end. If you pay attention to the signs of the body (headache, stress, or a lightness of being) I am sure you know what steps to take from here. Wishing you alle the best with your journey. Arita Baaijens
Hi Paula,
So good to know that there are more women out there traveling with camels!!
Wonderful. And the same for you > keep going girl… hopefully our paths will cross somewhere in the desert. Am sure we'll have a great conversation sitting by the fire.
Hi! What a wonderful and inspiring article and life you lead!
I think when you are young, you can follow the rules because you are afraid of 'not' fitting in. When you are older, you need to kick the traces and follow your heart. It is hard to go against the tide…but what if you never did and wanted to do this so much? At the end of your life, what would you have?
I am writing a fictional (very fictional) novel based on the historical woman, Tin Hinan. I have been researching and writing this book for three years now. It is almost completed. In this research, I have found Berber/Egyptian Goddesses, found out much of Berber traditions, and since I am a belly dancer, I work with Berber men in the restaurant I dance in. They are amazing people, and I feel though not of their culture, very, very close to them and their history.
As to that history, I have had to study camels, caravans, the routes, the Ahoggar Mountains, Algeria, the Tuaregs, other peoples in the countries of Morocco and Algeria and around this historic area. I have learned customs and traditions, and I find that all people are generally alike. Strip off the modern issues of consumerism, etc. and you find that we are all of a people.
By the way, in a few days I will be 63 years old. I have ridden on one camel and been spat at by the same, and I intend in a few years to travel the desert…somewhere~!
Life is only limited by our vision. Break away the cobwebs of convention, especially for women, and you will soar!

About Cathy
I grew up on the island and can't imagine calling anywhere else home! Each time I have a chance to welcome guests, whether 'newbies' or 'repeaters', I am reminded of just how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place. Having the chance to share my beautiful island home is a wonderful treat for me...and hopefully for 'my' guests too!
Why Cathy chose Bermuda
I didn't choose Bermuda; Bermuda effectively chose me and I am so glad!
What makes this cottage unique
Perfectly located on Bermuda's South Shore with amazing water views and offering easy access to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, including Church Bay Beach and Horseshoe Bay, this is a charming property with many wonderful features. Although modern throughout in its conveniences, its architecture is traditionally Bermudian; from the open beamed ceilings to the feature fireplaces, it oozes warmth and character. And when you step outside, the pool beckons and the view is spectacular.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Cathy, your hospitality is as exquisite and dear as Bermuda itself. Truly an unforgettable place which now has made a home in our hearts, we already look forward to our next Bermudian adventure, chez "Bougainvillea". Thank you for a tremendous stay, fondest of memories, and the loveliest of settings for our engagement!

This will be a great fight between a legend and a Phenom and altough you can never count a fighter out..i see the passing of torch and a new HWGHT champ being crowned and the era of Lesnar Begins…Nov 15th… All in all should be a great fight and i cant wait win or lose both fighters deserve much respect in this one.
Video: Randy Couture's Perspective on Fighting Brock Lesnar at UFC 91
UFC legend Randy Couture gives us an update on his preparation for fighting Brock Lesnar in about a week and a half at UFC 91. Couture, who has again found himself as the underdog in some peoples minds, looks prepared for fighting Lesnar who will provide a difficult fight physically for any heavyweight.

War Couture! hope Randy beats the hell outta' Lesnar!… then wee might get to see Couture V Fedor!
i will be interested to see what randy weighs in at he looks pretty slim to me. is his body slimming down with age or is it his game plan to be lighter and faster to out move brock? or maybe he's the same im not sure we will see when he weighs in.
I get the feeling that instead of trying to bulk up for this fight Randy"s game plan is the opposite he is going to be very cardio prepared and work on quickness so that he can move more effectively so that Lesnar will not catch him. U could see him do the stick and move gameplan in this fight for five whole rounds. Effectively testing Lesnars chin and his cardio.
If you consider Lesnar slow by any means your really have no idea what your talking about…Lesnar is far from Slow..and his cardio will be either better or the same as Couture…Brock was known for his cardio in College as a HWGHT and even more so now since he has been training MMA…you might want to watch his training vids the guys workout is intense more so than Coutures in my point of view but thats just the different training styles i presume..Couture has great cardio not taking anything away but if you think Brock is just going to stand there and let him move around on him your crazy…first off Brock has a major reach advantage and is a hell of alot more powerfull and faster in my eyes at being explosive with his punches and take downs..also keep in mind Brock will use alot and i mean alot less energy taking down Randy then Randy will trying and key work trying to take down Brock…Couture 220 Brock 275 law of math and energy prevails in Brocks Favor..Now i am not taking anything away from Randy but he is seriously in for one hell of a fight and this time he will not have any advantage that he is normally the better at…all i can say is this will be a great fight and i dont see Randy winning but you never know…Brock in my opinion is just too much overall for anyone to handle and the only way he loses is by beating himself..the Era of Lesnar begins Nov 15…
I really like this blog, I started a forum, which has a ton of
information on MMA, the url is http://www.ultimatefightingforumz.com
. I am not sure you guy have videos yet on this blog for MMA, but I
would love to help out and provide some for you. My webmaster
compiled a bunch of video feeds from youtube and other sources, that
would benefit this blog as well, if you are interested. Thanks again
and have a great day!
We know ur opinion on the matter tim u have said it 30 times no offense but u keep putting the same thing n every freaking thread that mentions Lesnar. I mean u take the thread over and like type 10 things in a row. We got it u think lesnar is gonna win. But he could lose. Good call.
I'd say its more a law of physics than math or energy. Yeah, calm down Tim, we know brock is physically favored, heavily. But Randy is mentally favored. So will brains or brawn prevail? That's what we will find out November 15, and I also cannot wait.
does anyone know what the fighters payouts are for UFC 90?
It all depends… if your good and a heavy weight like Randy it's millions,,, but you'll get paid less for lighter weights because they are harder to come by, but if your really good…..
Tyson Griffin and Sean Sherk – Fight of the Night – $65,000
Junior dos Santos – Knockout of the Night – $65,000
Spencer Fisher – Submission of the Night – $65,000
oops,, you get paid more for being a heavier weight (correction)
Hard to find big guys? Sure? Randy made 250k for a signing bonus and another 250k after he defeated Sylvia. Hardly millions, but he did get a substantial share of the PPV revinues. Most non-headliners only get a few thousand unless they get fighting bonuses.
You also must take into consideration the marketing pay they get from sponsors…most fighters earn more than whats reported…
WHAT MAKES ANYONE THINK THAT LESNAR IS ANY DIFFERENT THAN KIMBO. I have always liked Kimbo, he is a rags to riches story. Although I have never felt that he was very talented, I did enjoy watching him fight. Lesnar is no differnet though, he's just a big guy who goes out and slugs away at his opponents, but he has no skill otherwise, so why is he enev here? OH Yeah, because he was already famous, so he sells tickets, so that's why he gets paid more than Chuck Lidell and everyone else. I hope he gets his ass kicked so everyone just shuts up about him, and talks about how much of a punk he is and that he didn't deserve to be here in the first place just like the way everyone turned on Kimbo. Need I remind everyone, Kimbo has never claimed to be the best, and in fact he was always humble about his abilities andn experience during his interviews, so the poor guy lost, so what, anyone could get dropped by a single well placed punch. What does that prove? NOTHING. So could everyone just lay off, and let the guy catch a break, it wasn't his fault that EliteXC headlined him, that was a financial decision on their part, what was Kimbo supposed to do, not take it?

President Barack Obama's recent meetings with members of Congress have raised hopes that a major fiscal deal will replace the sequester and put the federal debt on a healthier long-term path. But the key barrier to a deal remains the disagreement between Republicans and Democrats about the balance between raising revenue and cutting government spending.Republicans say they are against any further increase in taxes. Democrats including the president say that any budget deal must include additional revenue as well as spending cuts.Fortunately, Democrats indicate that they want to raise the extra revenue without increasing tax rates. Raising revenue without increasing tax rates requires eliminating or reducing the subsidies in the U.S. tax code. Such subsidies, for things as varied as hybrid cars and increased health insurance, are really the government spending through the tax code.Reducing those subsidies, then, is really cutting government spending.Billions of dollars of revenue are lost through many relatively small subsidies, such as the tax break given to homeowners who install better insulation or buy a more efficient refrigerator. These may be desirable actions, but given the current budget situation, the country cannot afford to subsidize them.The big political challenge is dealing with the large tax subsidies to home mortgages, employer-provided health insurance, and state and local taxes. Any attempt to eliminate these would almost certainly fail. That is why I advocate allowing taxpayers to keep all their current deductions and exclusions -- but limiting how much they can reduce their tax liabilities in this way.Congress should cap the reduction in tax liabilities that taxpayers can gain from using these special features of the tax code.I favor a cap of 2 percent of adjusted gross income on the tax benefit that an individual receives from deductions and from the exclusion of municipal bond interest and of the value of employer payments for health insurance. For someone with a 25 percent marginal tax rate, that 2 percent limit on the reduction in taxes translates into a limit of 8 percent of adjusted gross income on the deductions and exclusions.The full deduction for charitable contributions should be retained, because the money that taxpayers give to charity benefits those organizations rather than the individual taxpayer.A 2 percent limit on the tax benefit from deductions and exclusions would produce about $140 billion in additional revenue if it were applied in 2013. Over the next decade, the additional deficit reduction would total more than $2.1 trillion.The president has proposed raising revenue by limiting tax subsidies, but his plan would affect only high-income taxpayers. Under his proposal, taxpayers would keep all their deductions, but deductions would be limited to a 28 percent tax rate.The president's plan, unfortunately, is inadequate and unfair. It would raise only $21 billion if applied to 2013 and about $300 billion over the next decade. That's less than one-sixth of the deficit reduction achieved by a 2 percent cap on tax benefits. And virtually all that money would come from taxpayers earning more than $200,000. Any serious plan to reduce government spending that is built into tax law should raise more revenue and call on most taxpayers to participate.Tax reform can play a key role in reducing future budget deficits and in making tax law simpler, fairer and more supportive of stronger economic growth. Republicans should recognize that limits on tax subsidies are reductions in government spending.And if Republicans agree to a substantial revenue increase in this way, Democrats should agree to significant structural changes to slow the growth of Social Security and Medicare.The key to breaking the fiscal impasse is to reduce government spending done through the tax code.Martin Feldstein, a professor of economics at Harvard University and president emeritus of the nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research, was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in 1982-84.

I love Spinal Tap and found The Last Exorcism to be hugely intriguing but I tend not to like found footage or mock documentary films. I feel that they rarely manage to use the conceit to any good that offsets their self-conscious fakeness enough.
2012 was a good year for these subgenres, however. Here are trailers for five of the best.
REC 3?*is a bit of a cheat, perhaps, as only parts of the film are in the "found footage" style - but that's part of what made it work. Only part, mind.
I suppose the following merits an honorable mention despite the film itself being a rather uneven experience, not to mention a film that seemed curiously fearful of women. Still, it did have a few good creepy moments.
I should probably warn you that this is a red band trailer.

Aiding cancer diagnosis using ultrasensitive biosensor
New sensor detects minute amounts of proteins, crucial for the detection of cancer and other illnesses
Researchers at Boston College discovered that a cluster of carbon nanotubes coated with a thin layer of protein-recognizing polymer forms a biosensor capable of using electrochemical signals to detect minute amounts of proteins. This new biosensor could provide a crucial new diagnostic tool for the detection of cancer and other illnesses.
The nanotube biosensor, described by Thomas Chiles and his colleagues in a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, proved capable of detecting human ferritin, the primary iron-storing protein of cells, and E7 oncoprotein derived from human papillomavirus. Further tests using calmodulin showed the sensor could discriminate between varieties of the protein that take different shapes, according to the multi-disciplinary team of biologists, chemists, and physicists that developed the sensor.
Molecular imprinting techniques have shown that polymer structures can be used in the development of sensors capable of recognizing certain organic compounds, but recognizing proteins has presented a difficult set of challenges. Dr. Chiles' team used arrays of wire-like nanotubes coated with a non-conducting polymer coating capable of recognizing proteins with subpicogram per liter sensitivity.
Central to the function of the sensor are imprints of the protein molecules within the non-conducting polymer coating. Because the imprints reduce the thickness of the coating, these regions of the polymer register a lower level of impedance than the rest of the polymer insulator when contacted by the charges inherent to the proteins and an ionized saline solution. When a protein molecule drops into its mirror image, it fills the void in the insulator, allowing the nanotubes to register a corresponding change in impedance, signaling the presence of the protein.
Binding can be read in real time, instead of after days or weeks of laboratory analysis, meaning the nanotube molecular imprinting technique could pave the way for biosensors capable of detecting human papillomavirus or other viruses weeks sooner than available diagnostic techniques currently allow. As opposed to searching for the HPV antibody or cell-mediated immune responses after initial infection, the nanotube sensor can track the HPV protein directly. In addition, no chemical marker is required by the label-free electrochemical detection methods.

It could also be that the more established restaurants simply have more experience with this and have developed a policy on the subject, whereas newer, smaller & trendier restaurants may not have had the experience to develop a cohesive & well-informed policy.
The bar makes a huge difference– and I'll bet that if the server at Joe Doe had apologetically offered a special after-dinner drink at the bar on the house with a small dessert or something, they may have been happier about it. A small restaurant set in a house simply doesn't have those kinds of options available to them.]]>
That's basic consideration on the customers' part.
The restauarant – if they are unable to seat you on time, should offer you free appetizers and a drink while you are waiting. That is basic consideration on the restaurants part.
If you make a reservation at a popular/crowded time at a FINE DINING/MICHELIN STAR RATED restaurant where 8 and 10 course tasting menus are common and it is considered an experience to dine there – the restaurant needs to be aware that 3 hours is likely to be the extent of the meal service and book accordingly.
Therefore, if they book a 7:00 and then an 8:30 it is their mistake/greed.
Sometimes it is the customers who are rude.
Sitting all night at a table because you want to talk in a busy restaurant is just thoughtless. It's one thing if it is a birthday or anniversary or special occasion and you let the restaurant know this in advance so they were aware your table might not turn over.
It's also one thing if you stay at the table and tip the server accordingly for the fact that she/he is losing money by only having you there. (I am very conscious of the fact that they are working for minimum wage usually, and depend on their tips.)
If I'm going to 'hog' a table on a regular lunch or dinner, I tell the server when they come to my table that I want to sit and chat with my friend(s)- and I also let them know I will pay them double their usual 20% tip on the bill because I am inconveniencing them.
On holidays such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's and Father' Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc., restauarnts should give ample time over and above the norm for their customers and not expect to rush them.
So lots of different factors come into play with this.
Great discussion topic !
Loving Annie]]>

I missed this comparison this week as I had company and little computer time, but I think I would have guessed correctly!
It is so true that we have beauty that rivals Europe in the US. Someone once said to me that Americans will go to Rome or Paris but they don't take the time to visit their own nation's capital. I've been to Washington DC many times but that comment made me think about places in the US I haven't seen, and my husband and I decided to begin to visit the National Parks. We have enjoyed all the ones we've seen so far and hope to visit many more.

For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Genetic Engineering page, Millions Against Monsanto page and our Washington News page.
Anyone can file a complaint with the WSAG's office and the Grassroots Coalition urges you to do so. As one activist so aptly put it, "KTCS 9 has taken the 'P' out of PBS, leaving us with the BS." We are quite used to that by now, we just didn't expect it from this quarter.
Today the Washington State Grassroots Coalition for Yes on I-522 are calling on their members and supporters of the Washington state Initiative 522 (label GMOs in food) to cancel their subscriptions to the Public Broadcast Station KTCS 9 and to refuse to donate during their telethons. And tell them why.
As reported here last week, KCTS 9 in Seattle changed their programming schedule to air a one-sided Quest program on genetically engineered (GE) crops called, "Next Meal: Engineering Food," on Wednesday,Oct. 30, 7:30 PM. This program was originally scheduled to air on Wednesday, November 13 at 7:30 PM. Instead
it was switched with the program, "Lake Tahoe: Can We Save It?".
The programming change was made despite hundreds of calls and e-mails in protest from the Washington State Grassroots Coalition for Yes on I-522. Then, despite the article, "Et tu, PBS?" which clearly outlined why the program is biased propaganda, and despite hundreds more calls and e-mails, KTCS 9
aired it again on Monday, November 4 at 7:00 PM
on the eve of the election.
There were no other PBS stations airing the Quest program this week. Most significantly, KCTS 9 broadcasted this one-sided program on the purported safety of GMOs, while every other PBS station in America apparently broadcasted "Antiques Roadshow." Public Broadcast Station listings for Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Boston, New York, Miami and Atlanta did NOT air the Quest program when KCTS 9 did its broadcasts. Why only in Washington? And why the switch?
Executive Director of Programming, Randy Brinson insisted that it was his decision to change the programming and that it had nothing to do with the election, though he has since regretted his decision. If it was his decision, and his decision alone, which he came to regret, then why not change it in the face of public outrage and the appearance of impropriety?

Search warrants yield new clues in south side explosion probe
Warrants detail DNA, computers, phone records
Police and prosecutors have kept quiet about many details in the south side explosion investigation, but new clues are emerging from 22 search warrants that are now cataloged in the case.
While nearly all of the search warrants remain sealed by a judge's order, the Call 6 Investigators were able to review basic details on those warrants through filings entered in the Marion County Clerk's office after Christmas.
Those filings are hand-written in a log book with nearly one entire page being devoted to explosion-related warrants, which were signed by criminal court judges in November and December.
Prosecutors have mentioned the existence of search warrants since the day they revealed that the explosion was a criminal act, but they have never described any specifics of what was being searched.
One court order was obtained, allowing police to harvest evidence from computers and hardware now being examined at a local police crime lab.
Homeowner Monserrate Shirley and her boyfriend Mark Leonard were arrested last week along with the boyfriend's brother Bob Leonard, Jr.
Prosecutors released documents on the day of their arrest, revealing that Mark Leonard owned two laptops and an all-in-one computer.
No details have emerged yet on what, if anything, has been discovered on those computers.
Search warrants were also signed, allowing police to take fingerprints and DNA samples from the male suspects in the case long before they were arrested.
The prints and the DNA of the Leonard brothers could be used to match a man's DNA that was recovered on the front door of the home where the devastating and fatal explosion was triggered.
Court records also show that fingerprints were found inside several vehicles that were searched as part of the investigation.
One search warrant also allowed police to take DNA samples and fingerprints from a fourth suspect, who has yet to be charged in connection with the crime.
A lead investigator on the case told Call 6 Investigators that he's hoping for a fourth arrest in the case soon. He said the three suspects who are already jailed could feel enough pressure to implicate that fourth person, or additional evidence could be developed in the coming days to allow for that arrest.
The list of search warrants also revealed that six homes or buildings were searched, including the leveled remains of Shirley's home where the blast was triggered. Also searched was Bob Leonard's trailer home, weeks before he was arrested, as well as a conference center on East Thompson Road, where Mark Leonard was in charge of demolition for the property owner.
Three different vehicles were searched, including the Ford Taurus that Shirley and her boyfriend had taken to a casino the night of the explosion and a Ford van that was owned by Mark Leonard.
Nine different warrants were signed for records surrounding calls and text messages to various phones that were suspected of being tied to the case. One of those phones belonged to Mark Leonard, and court records indicate those texts and call records have already been analyzed by investigators in the case.
Investigators have yet to reveal whether relevant fingerprints have been found on any of the fireplace or other gas lines that had been tampered with in the Shirley home before the explosion. If prints are found in those locations, prosecutors could use the search warrants to match prints from the suspects to those gas pipes.
The defense attorney for Shirley and her boyfriend has said in the past that prosecutors have only circumstantial evidence in the case, but lab analysis of many of the items listed in the search warrants remains under way.
Since the warrants remain sealed, only those connected with the case have access to the inventories of exactly what has turned up as the result of the 22 search warrants.

Run WEI and getting black screen until reboot?
So I thought I had a problem with my graphics card or display as whenever the computer went to sleep the screen would not come back on unless I reboot. Since then I have done testing and the sleep mode works fine, but it was actually when I was trying to run WEI. It starts off okay but then goes to a black screen after a few moments and won't come back on.

Welcome to Seven Forums ryanphoto. Let me be sure I have this right. You are only having this issue when running the WEI assessment? If that is the case, does the WEI assessment start and appear to be running fine, and then at some point the screen blacks out? Can you tell at what point the assessment fails? Has the WEI score ever been set, or is it unrated?
Let's try something. Open an advanced command prompt:
Start> In search box type cmd> Right click on cmd.exe in results above and choose Run as administrator> When the command prompt opens type winsat formal -v> Enter
See if it will complete the full assessment. Report back how it goes.

So I just did the command prompt method you suggested and I got a black screen again. I was running fine for a few seconds and then the screen went black and cannot locate a signal.
Not sure exactly the point it fails but I remember seeing command prompt saying "D3D created successfully" and then boom - screen out. No I have never set the WEI before, I have only just built this computer and installed Windows 7 in the last 4 days.

I'd test my hardware, beginning with the GPU. I'm no hardware expert, but it seems like you might have a faulty piece of hardware. Have a look at this link:

Star Style: Emma Watson in Proenza Schouler and Christopher Kane for Harry Potter U.S. promo tour
From ShinyStyle... Finally it was our turn for the kids of Harry Potter to grace us with their presence. Emma Watson arrived in New York this week to promote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She hit the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Theatre last night in a gorgeous black leather halterneck dress with contrasting white skirt by Proenza Schouler, and black strappy sandals. Earlier, she attended a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman in a gorgeous nude tired dress with black trim from Christopher Kane's Fall '09 collection. During the show, Letterman quizzed her about that unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at the London premiere, to which she cheekily replied: "At least I was wearing underwear."
Check out a video of the interview after the jump...

Top 5 takeaways from 6th camp practicePosted by on August 1, 2013 – 12:59 am
By Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
Here are my five biggest takeaways from the sixth day of practice at Browns training camp:
>>Dion Lewis likes to run inside. It's striking that, despite standing only 5-foot-9 and weighing 195 pounds (making him relatively small for the NFL), Dion Lewis constantly looks to cut inside on runs and after pass receptions. Defenders almost seem to be caught by surprise, assuming that Lewis' preference would be to go outside, which he also does well. He continues to turn heads with is tremendous explosiveness and speed. It looks more and more like the Browns will have to find a role for Lewis in the backfield to complement Trent Richardson, especially in the red zone.
>>Phil Taylor on officials. The idea of having officials at practice is to help give players a sense of what they can expect during games and to develop the necessary discipline to help avoid penalties. They're supposed to function as sort of an extension of the coaching staff. But for players, zebras will always be zebras. Just ask nose tackle Phil Taylor, who reminded one official standing within ear shot: "You don't call false starts (on the offense), but you call off-sides (on the defense). It's a defensive practice, too!"
>>What does Greg Little have in common with 7-Eleven? Little has had a strong camp. He isn't simply catching most of the throws that come his way. He's making numerous difficult receptions. Little also seems to be maturing as he enters his third season. He is consistently spending extra time after practice catching balls from the JUGGS machine. But Little can have his moments of frustration. After failing to have a pass thrown to him in a seven-on-seven red-zone drill, Little turned toward fans on the sideline and said, "I'm like 7-Eleven. I'm always open." Not an original line, but he made his point.
>>"Opportunity Period." Coach Rob Chudzinski wants to make sure his younger players have the best chance possible to demonstrate they can make the team. So at the end of practice, as the veteran and more established players go through stretching and/or running drills, the rookies and less established players run through additional plays in what Chudzinski calls an "opportunity period."
>>Food classification. As he led players through their post-practice stretching, strength and conditioning coach Brad Roll made a point of reminding them of the difference between "athletic-performance" food and "comfort" food. "Comfort food is too much cheese, too much sauce, too much bun, too much fried," Roll explained. The point: stay clear of the comfort stuff … especially with a weigh-in coming up in 14 days. Overweight players are fined.
>>Carucci's Call is presented by Revol Wireless. Come Save With Us.
>>Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET, for "Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford" on ESPN 850 WKNR or catch the live stream right here on ClevelandBrowns.com.

Rob & Sheryl Ross (15-25 August, 2012)
Just wanted to write this little note to say very sincere thank you to you and your wonderful crew for helping to make time we spent on the MY Kalibobo Spirit so enjoyable. We also enjoyed our 5 night stay in our waterfront bungalow at your Madang Resort.
We appreciated the little "extras" that you so kindly indlued during our stay and your concern for our enjoyment and safety. Just an ice cream in a cone after lunch on a hot afternoon was special. Thank you also for taking such good care of Sheryl on the evening that she was no feeling well. It was so considerate and kind of you to get assistance to help her with her condition.We are so luck to be retured and able to enjoy travelling to places of interest and if it was not for Georg, we would probably not have visited PNG, because of the problems we hear about on the news, at home and the reaction of our friends, when we told them wghere we were going, but so pleased we did visit - the "Land of the Unexpected"Our expedition with you up the Sepik on your beautiful and very comfortable motor yacht, was a great way to see the riverside villages, unique in their customs and artistic traditions and living museums of their tribal past.We have returned hom with lovely photos and special memories and would just like to enclose a cheque for your Melanesian Foundation, to say thank you and hope in some small way our contribution can help. Thank you, Rob & Sheryl Ross (Australia)
We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to the owner, Management and Staff of your hotel for your hospitality extended to us during our Depoartmenal Workshop held at the Madang Resort from 26-28th June 2011.
