The Restaurants nearby are also playing loud music but that is what Playa del Carmen is :) A very short walk to the beach and the main road (1 minute). The breakfast is very tasty. You get to know people very easily and the staff is very helpfull. "

Justin Garner - Love You Long Time
Artist: Justin Garner
Producer: Kenna Okoye
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 12 votes )
When Stanley Kubrick and company were writing Full Metal Jacket, I doubt they were working under the assumption that (arguably) the film's most lasting mark on pop culture would come courtesy of walk-on character "Da Nang Hooker," who propositions a U.S. Marine by announcing, "Me so horny, me Love You Long Time." Famously flipped by 2 Live Crew and Sir Mix-a-Lot, that immortal line gets put to an unusually seductive use on this cut, the latest promo single from Justin Garner. Backed by Kenna Okoye's time-tested chord progression and handclap-driven percussion rhythm, the rising soul star makes his most direct assault on pop-accustomed eardrums to date, exhibiting some characteristically impressive vocal chops as he lets a special girl know exactly what's gonna happen if she comes 'round his way. (And ladies will be happy to hear that, unlike the character he's quoting, he won't even be charging for his services.) Will this tunefully seductive selection be Garner's ticket to Hitsville? You tell me. Whatever your verdict, you can keep it locked to you-know-where for all the latest from this talented up-and-comer.

Bernadette Peters Mary Tyler Moore Hosts Annual Broadway Barks
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 7th, 2011 in Actresses, Animal Issues.
Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore will once again host the annual Broadway Barks. The cat and dog adoption event is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and is meant to let the animals in New York City shelters shine and give them the opportunity to find loving, permanent homes.
Representatives from several New York area animal organizations will attend the event, including Animal Care & Control of New York City, Adopt A Boxer Rescue, Animal Relief Fund, the ASPCA, Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition, Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue and North Shore Animal League America.
Broadway Barks will take place at Shubert Alley on Saturday, June 9 from 3:30pm-6:30pm. Presentations of animals from local shelters will take place from 5:30-6:30pm.
According to statistics at Pet Finder from the American Humane Association, more pets are taking residency in homes. In 1956, 44% of American households had either a dog or a cat. Today, that number has climbed to 57%. And 9 out of 10 pet owners say they consider a pet to be part of the family.

A Minute With: Director Deepa Mehta on "Midnight's Children"
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Film director Deepa Mehta is no stranger to controversy. Two of her movies - "Fire" and "Water" - were hit by protests from right-wing groups in India, and there were fears her latest cinematic offering would meet a similar fate.
"Midnight's Children", Mehta's adaptation of the Booker Prize-winning novel by Salman Rushdie, opens in Indian cinemas on Friday. The film, which chronicles the story of an Indian family living through the tumultuous events of the country's recent past, features a voice over by Rushdie.
The book's depiction of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's role during India's Emergency in the 1970s had thrown the film's screening into doubt. Rushdie's even more controversial 1988 book "The Satanic Verses," which many Muslims deemed blasphemous, remains banned in the country.
Mehta, 63, spoke to Reuters about "Midnight's Children," adapting a book for the screen and "un-filmable films."
Q: Many people had said that "Midnight's Children" might be un-filmable. Was it an easy book to adapt?
A: "This is not the first book that I have adapted. I worked on Bapsi Sidhwa's book for 'Earth'. All books, by their very nature, don't have to make good films. I think it depends on the filmmaker -- if the filmmaker finds that something in that inherent story has resonance for them, then you say let me try and do it ... One of the things you have to be aware of is that the film is not a facsimile of the book. It was the same with Midnight's Children. Yes, it was an iconic book. Yes, people said it was un-filmable. For me, it was a very clear narrative."
Q: Were there parts that you wanted to leave out?
A: "Absolutely. Early on I told Salman (Rushdie) ... to write down in narrative form what he thought the flow of the film should be and I'll do the same. Separately, we wrote down what we felt the progress of the story should be in the film. We found, much to our surprise, that the points were almost identical. You know then, that your vision is the same."
Q: There's always been a debate between book lovers and moviegoers whether books are better. What do you say?
A: "Some films are better than the book. I think 'The Constant Gardener', the film was much better than the book. And some books are so much better than the films. There have been some disastrous adaptations. I think it depends on what the film turns out to be. There is the adaptation police, a group of people going 'this book should never have been made into a film', but if Salman had no problem, what's theirs?"
Q: This was also a difficult film to shoot, right? You had to shoot in Sri Lanka under a fake working title because of security concerns?
A: "That's not true at all. We came to Mumbai, looked at locations and realised that if I wanted to shoot here, it would be very difficult because nothing looks period. There are high-rises everywhere, BMW cars on the streets. That's why it was important to shoot in Sri Lanka -- it's very similar, except that it isn't as built-up. There are lovely bungalows, etc. And the reason we had to shoot under a fake working title was because I didn't want to attract press, because it distracts the actors."
Q: You've made a lot of films about women and attitudes towards them in India. What do you think is behind these skewed attitudes?
A: "Patriarchy. We've always felt that the girl child is worth nothing and should in fact be aborted even before she is born. The boy can do no wrong. If the girl is treated as a sub-human, or the boy is raised to believe he can do no wrong, then this is what will happen."
Q: Do you think films can help change these attitudes?
A: "I don't think so. They can be an instrument of looking at things differently but then films also become old-fashioned and people move on."

Stennis International serving as hub of oil fight
Published: July 6,2010
Tags: air travel, airports, disaster, energy, environmeny, offshore drilling, oil and gas, oil spill, transportation, travel
BAY ST. LOUIS — For the second time in five years, Stennis International Airport (KHSA) is serving the Gulf Coast as the aviation support center for another ecological disaster cleanup effort.
The first was Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and now the current British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil spill that is threatening the habitat and economy of the gulf.
Bill Cotter, airport director at Stennis International, said, "I think we're a great example of how a strong general aviation airport serves its community and region during good times and when times are challenging."
Since the initial efforts began in early May to contain and disburse the growing oil spill from reaching the gulf shores, Stennis International has become the staging area for civilian and military aircraft to fight the growing oil slick and prevent it from endangering the delicate gulf shoreline. In the critical first days of the relief effort, Stennis staff was pumping more than 23,000 gallons daily, or four tanker trucks, of jet fuel into support aircraft.
Responders have been flying operations out of Stennis from dawn to dusk since the spill begin to disperse the spill with thousands of gallons of dispersant to contain the spill and protect the delicate coastal environment. Aircraft ranging in size up to C-130Hs from the Air Force Reserves 910th Airlift Wing and the Marine Spill Response Corp have been using the general aviation airport.
Five years ago, Stennis International was the epicenter of aviation relief efforts when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama coastal communities. Within eight hours of the initial storm surge, Stennis become operational again as hundreds of flight began arriving to bring critical relief supplies to the hurricane ravaged region.
AT&T's Network Disaster Recovery team deployed emergency communications vehicles at Stennis to support air and ground control communications at the airport during the initial hours following the hurricane. The adjacent Stennis Space Center and employees from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston served in various volunteer roles to disperse equipment and supplies while assisting medical first responders in helping load injured residents onto transport aircraft for flights to medical facilities within the region.
International Aid used Stennis International as its delivery and staging area to help disperse more than $40 million in disaster relief packs, infant supplies and personal care products.

The NFL season hasn't even started yet, but if you're up to it, you can definitely draft your fantasy team right now. That's fine by me!
Surely, most of us already know who we'd take first in our drafts, but there's still something missing with this year's crop.
Predicition: Top Five NFL Defenses
As the 2014 NFL regular season nears a beginning, it's time to gather some final projections for how next season will turn out. Predictions are getting more intense as time runs out on pre-season predictions. Before all of these predictions become reality, I figured I may as well follow suit and make some myself. Last season, the top five defenses in the NFL were the Seattle Seahawks in first, the Carolina Panthers in second, the Cincinnati Bengals in third, the New Orleans Saints in fourth and the San Francisco 49ers in fifth place. Will there be a new team at the top next season or will the Seahawks defend their ranking as the top defense in the league. Making these types of predictions is a very fun and enjoyable project to tackle before the season starts. It's interesting to see how right you are at the end of the season. I feel confident in these decisions and will be rooting for these teams on defense to be at the top, just for my own enjoyment. Enough chit chat, let's get to these projections and see what you think of them:Continue reading
In the last few days, Chiefs QB Alex Smith and his agent have been in talks with the team to extend his contract after Bengals QB Andy Dalton received a lucrative, long-term deal. Smith has made it clear, though, that he isn't interested in getting the same type of contract that Dalton received from Cincinnati.
Dalton's contract, though potentially lucrative, is more of a "pay as you go" contract. The Bengals included a lot of outs should their partnership with Dalton not work out. Alex Smith does not want this type of contract, as he made clear on Saturday.
"I want to get something that's right that I'm going to play out, absolutely, and that's definitely a focus of mine," Smith told USA TODAY Sports after Saturday's training camp practice.
Chiefs general manager John Dorsey spoke to USA Today and said that he last spoke to Smith's agent, Tom Condon of CAA, "a couple days ago," but declined to comment further other than to say he has "great respect" for Smith as a player and person.
But does "great respect" mean that he'll give Smith the kind of guaranteed contract that he's seeking?
The Dalton contract is also extremely similar to the contract of Smith's former teammate, 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick. These deals are becoming much more common in the NFL. Instead of boatloads of guaranteed money, these contracts are more "show me" deals.
Smith, 30, is looking for stability. Stability is something that the #1 overall pick in the 2005 draft hasn't seen in his 10 years in the league. His time with the 49ers was during numerous changeover periods for the team, and by the time the team settled into a scheme Smith was on his way out.
Asked directly if he'd sign Dalton's contract if the Chiefs offered it, Smith said, "We're on the record. That's a tough question. Certainly, I think it's a tough thing. I look at both Andy and Kap and they're both on their rookie deals. They're both second-round picks in the new rookie wage scale, so what were their salaries? It's a very different situation for me."
In 2014, Smith is due $7.5 million in base salary. After throwing for over 3,000 passing yards and 23 touchdowns as well as guiding the Chiefs to the playoffs, did Alex Smith prove that he's worth a lucrative contract to the Kansas City Chiefs?
"I would love that," Smith said when asked if he would like to negotiate a contract before the 2014 season begins. "I certainly don't want it to carry on into the regular season and be thinking about it. It's hard to. It's hard to be dealing with it and eliminate it always. It can become a distraction. Hopefully, it gets knocked out and I won't have to worry about it."
What do you think?
Has Alex Smith earned a lucrative contract from the Chiefs?
Is he right in saying that he doesn't want a Dalton/Kaepernick deal?
Let me know by following me on twitter: @tadjohnsonsk
Tonight the Seahawks open up the preseason in a matchup against the Denver Broncos. There is a lot of noise coming out of Denver saying they are looking for revenge for the bludgeoning they received from the Hawks in the Super Bowl. This coupled with Pete Carroll's now infamous, "Always Compete" mantra should make for a decent Exhibition Game.
The Seattle Seahawks on Monday reportedly signed free-agent Cornerback Terrell Thomas, who spent the previous six years with the New York Giants.
Two Seahawks fans are raising money to build a bronze statue of Richard Sherman's famous tipped pass in the last moments of the NFC championship game; the play that sent Seattle to Super Bowl XLVIII and has come to be known as "The Tip."
It was announced by EA Sports that the Start screen in the upcoming Madden '15 video game will feature The Legion of Boom. If you remember correctly, After Richard Sherman won the Madden Vote, he lobbied hard to get the entire Seahawks secondary on the cover. This seems to be an acceptable compromise:
What if the NFL logos and the NBA logos joined forces to make a joint city logo? The outcome is actually pretty spectacular. All photos are courtesy of the Black Adam Shefter, who is an absolute hilarious follow on Facebook, for the record:
The internet exploded yesterday when 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick signed a record-breaking extension through the 2020 season that was reportedly worth up to $126 million. However, NBC's ProFootballTalk have gathered details of the deal, and it may not as luxurious as advertised. For starters, the alleged $60 million in guaranteed money may be an inflated figure, as it is based on Kaepernick staying healthy, and he will only receive just over $13 million upon signing between the signing bonus, and his 2014 salary. Much of the details around Kaepernick's contract highlight potential injury concerns, including the Niners requiring Kaepernick to purchase an insurance policy that will pay the team $20 million if he were to suffer a career ending injury:
The contract also requires Kaepernick to purchase, with after-tax dollars, a disability policy that pays the 49ers $20 million if he suffers a career-ending injury.
I highly recommend clicking the link above to PFT's post, as there are other interesting details about the contract, including how the deal depreciates if Kaepernick doesn't take the Niners to a Super Bowl or make an All-Pro team. Honestly, precautions make a ton of sense in the new age of the quarterback, where guys like Kaepernick expose themselves to so many big hits (granted, Kaepernick is as good as anyone about knowing when to slide, get out of bounds etc.) by being mobile quarterbacks. Hopefully, he can stay upright and collect all the cash he now has coming to him.

I liked more the beach and the pool. Sunsets are perfect from this location. Not too crowded to enjoy either pool or beach. I would come back if i visit Curacao again.
The room's air conditioner have a fixed temperature and during nigths is hot sometimes.
Phantastic beach, very gentle and full of attention staff. very good breakfast, very clean, nice rooms, it was an excellent stay. If I ever come back to Curaçao, for sure I will stay again at Marriott.
A little expensive the dinners
It's a beautiful hotel, the pool and jacuzzi are great. The breakfast were really good. People on the front desk are extremely nice
Paid or limited wifi
Bel hotel, beau cadre, petit dejeuner excellent, on y retourna sans hésiter ;)
The shuttle has to be reserved the day before, and only two rotations (morning or afternoon)
nice beach
the taxi to center city is expensive
The pool and the beach.
Rooms are a litte bit outdated.. Simple but effective.
This resort is truly paradise. The staff at the hotel were excellent and the place is very clean. Food is good and entertainment also good. Overall one of the best vacations I've had!! I'll be back.
I have to be honest I felt that food and drinks at the hotel and their onsite coffee/store was over priced. $5 for a cup of tea is a bit much and $12 for a cocktail at the bar by the pool also over priced. If I could change one thing it would be not to gauge the tourist.
Everything about this hotel was great,it wasn't easy getting internet in the rooms and the restaurants could use some creativities on their menu but this place is worth every peny the staff is great from the restaurant to the lobby..will definately go back
the internet wasn't free of charge
I liked the friendly personnel. The pool The food Very clean and modest everywhere,
A bit remote, no other stores/restaurants nearby and high prices on food/drinks. Even the small convenience store has same price as the restaurants. Internet too expensive Rooms need to be modernized
private beach, staff
price, dirty rooms (pillows and towels smelled), old equipment in the rooms too (the sink was leaking, a lot of marks of usage on many items)
restaurant service room pool casino food drinks in night: romantic atmosphere breakfast restaurant: Gigi, excellent women and services in birthday: Gigi and her partners singing birthday in almost 3 lenguages (awesome) in general: everything
stones in the beach
Beautiful setting, so close to a wonderful beach.
Not enough choice of restaurants.
- the beach - the atmosphere
- requested for decoration (way in advance) for the room because of a birthday celebration; didn't happen
First of all, the view is stunning because almost every room has a good view to the sea. The room cleaning was very good and the cleaning persons were very friendly.
The price was extremely high for what you get. The beach is ok but the location is not perfect for having a beach. And the bed are not really comfortable (not even american standard)
Great breakfast,pool,beach,room. Cant really complain.
Wifi should be free everywhere,not only in the lobby
Very helpful, friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Lovely facilities. Great beach for snorkeling etc. and good sized pool. A variety of restaurants. Free shuttle into town 2x day. Pool bar. Live entertainment - enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again.
No wifi in rooms, rooms a bit dated, at weekends pool area and beach areas taken up quickly - so if you want an umbrella you have to go early. Stones at beach in water so may want beach shoes but lovely beach.
Loved our stay here. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Our room was very pleasant although it could do with being updated. The pool was lovely but could get crowded. Loved the beach and the sea but you need to watch out for stones in the water. The food and drink were quite expensive as to be expected but a couple of restaurants. Free shuttle into town . Would definitely stay here again.
The pool and beach could be difficult to find a bed in the shade - people grabbed them early and was pretty crowded especially at the weekend. Would have liked some local food choices - too much American food and few options near hotel but the food was good.
Ambiente geral e casino
Recepção e toalhas de banho dos quartos.
The Hotel is very unique located perfectly right on a nice cosy beach.
Friendly staff Snorkeling right infont of the hotel. Great facilities and well maintained. Great beach Good food
The hotel is a bit far from willemstad
Beach in front of the hotel is nice, good place for snorkelling!
Wi-fi not for free, bathroom rather poor, not Marriott standard
Facilities and setting
Waiting time for breakfast
Installations were good. Pools nice. Staff was very cheerful and helpfull.
Beach was not very good. Have to take water shoes along! Hotel restaurants were expensive and the food was not exceptional!
the staff was very friendly and allways willing to help and to make our experience better.
The breakfast room was too small for the size of the hotels, we had to wait almost for 20 min every morning. There is no real benfit on the ocean view, at least in the room we were. we selected one king size bed on the reservation and got a double bed room Towels need replacement. Location is not very convinient as its not close to the center. minibar was empty when we arrived, and never filled up during our stay.
I loved the friendliness of the staff and the clean facility.

Is excess intelligence for your social situation a disability? Discuss.
These two concepts are presented as being synonymous in popular discussion. A "You can't have one without the other." kind of thing.
This concerns me greatly.
I could write at great length about the threat secrecy poses to human culture, and have before, but that's not what I'm going to do right now.
I've had conversations in the past where I claimed people never had privacy in the first place, that between the government and the schools and the banks and credit card companies and whatnot, their movements and activities have been monitored since the day they were born.
But this was never precisely right. Because privacy doesn't require secrecy. That is what I want to talk about.
First, a couple of illustrations:
When you go to the bathroom, it's not a secret what you're going in there for. We know you're going in there to release waste. You know that we know. But we would generally agree that this gives you privacy.
When you live with roommates, and you take your special someone to your room and hang a tie on the door, we know what you're in there for. You know that we know. But you still feel a sense of privacy, and you still do what you went in there to do.
So. What makes these situations private, when they're not even vaguely secret?
The lack of a requirement to interact.
It's a matter of social decorum. Good manners.
At the end of the day, I don't really care that you know I took a dump. What I care about is that I don't have to carry on a conversation about it. I don't even want to have the "conversation of the eyes". I want to forget, for a moment, that you exist.
I don't think I'm exceptional in this regard.
So, clearly, you can have privacy without secrecy.
Let's examine something a little more pervasive.
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last 15 years, you're probably familiar with the "Reality TV" concept.
These people are living in a fishbowl. They have no secrets, and they know it.
But you can clearly see that, despite this, they will seek out a space where they are physically alone so they can have some privacy. And you can clearly see them relax, because their need for privacy has been fulfilled.
Why? There are likely more people observing them that ever before... how can they possibly feel like they have privacy?
The answer is, they don't need to react to you. They don't need to respond to things you say. That automatic reflex we have to decipher what your eyes are saying never kicks in. That is what they really crave.
So. One more illustration. Not even anecdotal. Could not tell you when or where I heard this, but here goes:
The story is, there is an Asian culture where everyone is packed in so tightly, and their building construction affords them no secrecy because their walls are so thin that a man walking past your house can see and hear right through your rice paper walls.
Nevertheless, these people successfully find the privacy they need. Because they do not react to things that are none of their business. They know their place.
There is a lesson here for us.
We are grappling with a real problem in our civilization. We have forged tools with the power to extend our senses further than our great grandparents could have ever dreamed. But we have not yet demonstrated the maturity to handle it.
The result of this is that there is a small class of people who have access to vast amounts of information about everyone, and a large class of people who have very little access and what access they have has been carefully chosen to control their opinions.
The small class of people and the large class of people are both fighting to preserve this state of affairs. The large class are defending the "right to secrecy" because they feel they are fighting to protect their privacy from their ill mannered fellows. The small class are defending the right to secrecy because they have an unfair advantage over their fellows and they wish to preserve that state of affairs.
Simultaneously, you have people who are fighting for "transparency", because they recognize the unfair advantage that is held by a group that seeks to control them, and they wish that unfair advantage erased.
In this way, we are turned against ourselves by those who would rule us.
I've argued this point exhaustively in online forums under my standard pseudonym, and have been jeered at, and invited to publish my real name, address and banking information.
This is what we're up against. I've got skeletons in my closet, same as everyone. I'm flawed, but I'm confident I'm no more flawed than any of you. If the veils of secrecy came crashing down for one and all, I'm confident that it would be impossible for anyone to attack my character and reputation without being seen for a gross hypocrite.
But, to go first is to allow hypocrites to destroy you, and to fail in your attempt to address the problem.
It's a difficult problem. I'm not sure how to get from where we are to where I believe we need to be. I see it as a real possibility that we will destroy our own potential to grow beyond the limitations of our fragile flesh rather than develop the maturity to cope with this situation.
However, I think that creating a sense of the distinction between privacy and secrecy is an essential step towards having a dialog that will lead us there.
Thank you for reading.
Yeah, I get it - you have to serve mobile kids too. I don't like that interface. Have been using classic on Android since I got it. I browse logged in. There should be configuration preference for "never show me the mobile site again".
This is a work in progress, which I will continue to expand upon. I feel it is important to share it in it's unfinished, because I am frequently misunderstood when I attempt to communicate my ideas in conversation, and am attacked by people based on a false understanding of what I propose. This is intended to be a tool which I deliver as a gift to mankind, to use or ignore as they see fit, and not something I impose upon anyone.
The Principles:
Any person who wishes to participate in the running of society has the right to do so. They operate in the fashion that suits them best in each sector, and they do as they will with their spare time. They have the right to vote in the operation of the society they participate in and have their vote counted.
Some people cannot choose to actively participate in society. Children who are too immature to be safe, invalids who are unable because they are in too much pain, those too elderly to function properly.
People need to be involved to have the right to make decisions. If they are not involved, their vote should not count. To allow their vote to count is to those who are ignorant to rule. When one man knows, and another does not, the second should bow his head, and the first should take responsibility.
However, people who are not involved should still have the right to cast votes, propose changes to the system and express themselves just as any other. Wisdom can come from those who are young, elderly and infirm, and it is important that we respect that fact. We can all remember bearing witness to hidebound foolishness amongst our elders at some point in our youth, and those of us who are not yet elderly and infirm can rest assured that we most likely will be.
Those who are not involved and cast votes should not have their vote counted towards a decision, however, those who are involved are free to assign their vote to them, and those votes will count. Thus, a wise elder or visionary invalid who cannot participate through deeds may still be the voice of those who do participate through deeds, for as long as they believe his leadership is wise.
Children should be treated as a special case.
It is important that children continue to be born and that the system should treat them as future citizens of vital importance to us all and not the same as mature or invalid dependents who are cared for out of compassion.
Therefore, parents should be considered to have an additional vote that represents their child, for so long as they continue to nurture to them.
Children should still continue to be able to cast a vote for themselves when they are mature enough to understand what that means, participate in the process and develop their voice, and if mature adults choose to appoint a child as their representative, those votes should be assigned according to the choices of the child and not automatically be passed along to the childs parent.
All data and information should be available to everyone in principle, and it shall be an ongoing goal of society to see that all measures available to make it accessible in practice are implemented. Transparency of information shall never be compromised in support of other concerns, because it is essential to the sane and wise operation of a democratic society.
Where secrecy exists, the act of participating in democracy is itself insane and unwise. It is through exploitation of this truth that those with arcane knowledge make themselves parasites of the ignorant, leading to weakness and suffering of those kept ignorant, the inevitable execution of the parasitic ruler, and often the destruction of the entire human culture.
Preventing this situation from arising is the responsibility of all humanity.
The Tools:
The Watchers - A sensor network, intended to gather data and allow all people to be aware of the environment to the maximum practical degree
The Testaments - Personal mesh networked voting devices with record keeping and personal sensors, intended to allow a person to demonstrate their votes to their peers, review the ongoing operations of the culture and propose changes to the way things are run.
The Witnesses - Stationary mesh networked recording devices, intended to decentralize vote archives and create enough forensic evidence to make wide scale vote tampering impossible
The Web - Wired network, intended to act in a supporting role to the Watchers, Testaments and Witnesses where it is advantageous to use Artifacts of Mankind to analyze data and discover patterns.
The Transition:
This presupposes that the infrastructure for the new model for representative democracy has been designed and distributed and the vast majority agree in principle with its use.
I started writing this proposal with the idea of applying it strictly to legal systems, but realized that it really should govern all common systems, which would include all large scale infrastructure and commonly used systems for governing human affairs. This is a statement with far reaching implication and is going to have to be expanded upon significantly for it to make sense.
1) Cataloging:
We should create a catalogue of laws and systems, together with the justification for those laws and systems, an articulation of the sacrifice they represent, and an articulation of any conditions which would justify their being revoked.
The population should have x number of days to create a catalogue of the laws and systems which exist, together with the justification for those laws and systems continued existance.
2) Judgement:
The population should vote to determine if the closing period for contributions to the catalogue should be extended.
Any laws and systems which are not indexed after the closing period will be judged to be unsupported by anyone and therefore eliminated (there being no reason why they cannot be re-introduced at the end of the migration process)
The laws and systems should be indexed in terms of those which are justified by core values and those which are justified because of how they affect other laws and systems, and a map created that articulates these justifications.
The laws and systems sould then be considered in terms of the relevance of their stated purpose, how well they fulfil their stated purpose, and a consideration of how and if the current conditions are right for them to exist. The population should vote to keep them or remove them on this basis.
At the conclusion of this process, there should be no laws and systems which do not have justification, common support, and some thought put to the time when they might cease to be sane and wise.
3) Ongoing Operation
Any person may:
a) Propose a new law or system with novel justification
b) Propose that a new contraindication be ratified for an existing system
When the conditions of our culture are x, this rule will cease to be wise.
c) Propose that a new sacrifice be ratified for an existing system
This rule causes hardship in x way, and that hardship should be acknowledged.
d) Propose that the conditions for revoking an existing system have been met
This contraindication was set down long ago when this rule was made, and I propose that it now applies
e) Propose a new law or system to supersede an existing system by meeting it's justification with:
- less sacrifice (demonstratable justification)
We can meet need x with this different system, and hardship x which the previous system demanded
would cease to be necessary
- less contraindications (deductive justification)
Existing system x will become a poor and unwise tool when condition x occurs, and this new system will meet
the need without the risk of becoming defunct under condition x.
- both
A system will have to be agreed upon to determine at what point a proposal must be put to a vote. Possibilities might be that a certain critical number of people must "second" the proposal, or perhaps a critical percentage of the population.
Apparently Backblaze has a third generation box out. Backblaze is a provider of online backup who has a fixed fee "all you can eat" price structure. Because of this they have to minimize the cost of providing their huge storage needs. They designed a 4U server to hold 45 drives some years ago and open sourced it. Netflix uses the design now for their CDN. Since then Backblaze has improved it some and it has been reported here.
Now there's a site where you can buy them for retail, and there's a new version out. If you want to put 180TB raw into 4U, there is no more efficient way to do it.
In Star Trek they have a great deal of amazing technologies. Warp drive, transporters, phasers, replicators, lots of cool stuff. Some of these things have been realized at least partially with technology. Tech people love Star Trek mostly, and adore the tech. Some think that this is what Star Trek is about. This technology stuff is what makes Star Trek science fiction. This is not what Star Trek â" nor any popular fiction â" is about.
The tech in Star Trek has almost never been the story, and certainly never in a good episode. The tech is a method where the storyteller sets his story in a place just different enough from the current day that the audience can view the story objectively rather than subjectively. It is a prop. With this diversion the moral play becomes not a threat to the viewer's established prejudices because it happened in a mythical place far away in space and time, opening the viewer to alter their prejudices and experience (pleasurable) personal growth. Every Star Trek show is a moral play showing conflicts arising between people, and how they resolved them. It is about educating people about conflict resolution and ethical behavior. This and only this is why we watch. Roddenberry was shameless in re-telling all of the basic stories of the past in his postmodern future â" even Aesop's fables and Shakespeare. It's about the people because how people engage with other people is what we, as humans, connect with on an emotional level. That is what makes it a good story.
In the technology world we focus on the widget. What its gigawhats and megathings are relative to the one that came before. How many FPS it gets on TradeBench. This is entirely the wrong approach. The technology world is not about gigawhats. It's about people. People who have wants and needs, aspirations and dreams. To a certain extent we acknowledge this in the marketing department where the people who sell the stuff we make live and bring the money that buys our sweet engineering gear. Marketing understands this is how you sell things: You associate the thing in the customer's mind with a greater affinity with his family, the public, the world â" you empower and enable him to do what he needs or wants to do, to be important, or at least convince him you will, and he gives you his money.
Somehow a one-way conceptual firewall has been built between engineering and marketing where this idea cannot pass back to the people who invent stuff. Engineering doesn't respect marketing, and is living in its own Star Trek world where they invent ever more widgets they think are really cool and then fling them through the Barrier to Marketing to make of them what they can.
If you start instead at âoewhat do people really want and needâ and build that you don't need marketing much at all. People will beat down your door to get it once they know you have it. Make it your engineering goal to understand what people want and need at a basic human level, and focus on inventing stuff around enabling and empowering them to have that.
So what do people want and need? After air, food and shelter they want to connect with their fellow humans, to share and partake of sharing of each others' lives. This is why Facebook and Twitter are so huge. They want to relax and enjoy life, and enjoy songs and stories â" so, Netflix and Pandora. They want fame and recognition, so: Facebook and Twitter. Notice Facebook doesn't have a âoedislikeâ button? Know why that is? Because the fear of negative feedback would ruin the sharing experience by including the risk of rejection. They want love without fear. Give them that and they are yours.

The US Attorney Carmen Ortiz and the professional prosecutor Steve Heymann both have petitions on the whitehouse "we the people" site calling for their termination in the wake of the Aaron Swartz scandal. The Ortiz petition was filled almost immediately, but the Heymann petition took longer. Today the Heymann petition is also filled.
The whitehouse has promised to give a response to petitions which meet these thresholds. Now we will find out what the response will be, and what the reaction to that response will be.
There are plenty of signatures on the Whitehouse petition to fire US Attorney Carmen Ortiz but she's just a politician. The frontline prosecutor who drove this case was Steve Heymann. He needs to go too, but his petition isn't trending to enough votes to get it done. We need to be rid of him too.

The prosecutor who hounded Aaron Swartz to death, impoverishing his family and guaranteeing he would spend the rest of his natural days in federal prison because they had not enough to defend him properly: her name is Carmen Ortiz. She is the one who would do this to him - not for killing somebody, or stealing something, but for accessing information he was entitled to access manually in an automated way. Building scripts was his crime. Carmen Ortiz was his prosecutor. She killed him.

Intro and NG Tube help/advice needed
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 01-10-2006 - 4:52pm
Hi everyone!
I am new here, and Jan mentioned that there are other moms here who have dealt or are dealing with feeding tubes. My name is Megan, and my special needs child is Abigail. We live ouside of Philadelphia, PA.
My dd was born in September with a bunch of problems (none of which I knew about before she was born). She had TEF repaired the day she was born (her esophagus was attached to her trachea at one end, and at the other end her esophagus just ended in a pouch). Because of the TEF, she has a pretty bad case of reflux. At 2 days old, she developed a very bad case of pneumonia where she had no healthy lung tissue, so she couldn't keep her blood oxygenated. She ended up on a lung bypass machine called ECMO. She also has Down Syndrome. Not really related to the feeding issues is that she also has what is hopefully Transient Leukemia that should go away on its own. We have an oncology appointment tomorrow that I am hoping to get good results from.
All of these things have contributed to her not knowing how to eat from a bottle very well. She came home from the hospital at 6 weeks old, and has done better with the bottle since being home, but she still only takes about an ounce at a time from the bottle. The rest of her feeding is done through an ng tube.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to get her to take more from a bottle so that we can get rid of the tube? We have tried different formulas, different bottles, and delaying feedings through the tube so that she'd be hungrier. Nothing really seems to have any effect.
We recently found out that one of the local childrens hospitals has a feeding clinic, and I am waiting for a call back from them to schedule an appointment. They have a 3 month waiting list, but the person that did her intake evaluation said that they try to see babies earlier. I'm kind of hoping that she is an interesting case to them because there aren't a whole lot of kids out there with Down Syndrom that have been on ECMO. That way maybe they'll get her in soon.
In the meantime, I have ordered a Haberman feeder to see if that makes any difference as well. We also have a pediatrician appt next Monday and I am going to ask them to adjust her reflux medicines. Maybe that would do something.
If anyone has any advice on anything for me to try, or if you have used a the Haberman and have any words of wisdom, I would LOVE to hear about anything that you have done.
Thanks in advance!
|Tue, 01-10-2006 - 9:37pm
Welcome to the board! You came to a wonderful place full of wonderful mothers!
I do not have any experience with what you are dealing with; however, I do have a 4 yo son with Down syndrome and he experienced some feeding difficulties in the beginning. In Cincinnati, we have a Down syndrome clinic, so I was able to get a lot of help and advice from them. We also had the MR/DD program that offered feeding clinics and I enrolled Cal in this as well. The only advice I have for you is to continue doing all the things you think will help and have patience. The one thing I have learned from Cal is that I need to have LOADS of patience. Just when you think you can not do anything else they will surprise you. It gets EXTREMELY frustrating at times, but things will work themselves out. Sounds like to me that Abigail has the best parents she can possibly have. That is the first step to helping her. Continue fighting and trying different things. Do not except waiting lists. If they tell you they are putting her on a waiting list call them ALL the time! NO ONE is more important than your child and her welfare so keep up the fight. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Unfortunately, I have not experienced the same conditions with Cal that you are experiencing right now; but, I do have loads of experience in the Down syndrome department!
Keep your chin up!

I'm new as well...just passing through actually and your message caught my eye. I usually am on the cleft lip/palate board or dev.delays.
My son also has a syndrome trisomy 13...downs I believe is trisomy 21? Anyway, feeding has always been an issue due to his cleft lip and palate (now repaired). Oh, Mitchell is 1 year old. :)
We continue to use the haberman bottle. It has worked very well for Mitchell. With the haberman you have different lines on the bottle according to the flow you want. I suggest playing with it before feeding her so you can get the feel for it. You may also squeeze the nipple a little to "help" her. Of course you have to be careful to not give her too much of a drink and try and coordinate it with a swallow. Do you have early intervention services through the school district? If so, a speech pathologist or OT probably could help or you could get a referral from your dr to see one of them to help you. I only say that because Mitchell didn't tolerate us squeezing at first. But, he was only a few days old. After about 2 months old he was able to accept "help". It really works well for a lot of babies. Many parts to the bottle and a pain in the butt-but it has been worth it for Mitchell. I sure hope it works for you.
Another thing we did for Mitchell was we made the formula have higher calories because he too couldn't take that much. This is something you would have to talk to her dr about though because it can be hard on their system. Norm. formula is 20 cal/ounce and Mitchell gets 24 cal/ounce...we just mix it different. He doesn't have to take as much then. We are still struggling with weight-he had a NG tube in for night time feedings only and we just got it out! Now he really has to work! I can't think of anything else. Is she struggling with breathing at all? Mitchell would get so tired from eating because of his cleft.
I know how you feel though...we didn't know about any of Mitchell's conditions until he was born. Let me tell you, that first few days sucked! Okay-the first few months. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. I'm not sure if I'll be a lurker here or what...not a lot of time. Mitchell has his own website

WSJ Covers Ask.com's "Information Revolution" Ad Campaign
Ask.Com's 'Revolt' Risks Costly Clicks from the Wall Street Journal weighs
in on the Ask.com guerrilla marketing campaign we covered last month, especially
focusing on the negative comments that have appeared on the
associated web site.
The article also highlighting the television commercials now airing. I've seen these myself on TV here,
and a video clip below give you a taste.
Writes the WSJ about the campaign's web site:
The online discussion has been dominated by people complaining they've been
misled. "I thought this may be an informative Web site about how information is
used on the Internet," said one posting last week. "Instead I discover it's just
a cheap ploy for an inferior search engine." The six-week campaign is designed
to lift Ask.com's profile in the U.K., where it trails Google, Yahoo and
Microsoft. The Ask.com network, a unit of New York's IAC/InterActiveCorp, was
used for 4.3% of all Internet searches in the U.K. in January, according to
comScore Networks Inc.
Fallon says it expected some criticism but felt there was little to lose,
because Google is so much bigger.
Indeed. Ask CEO Jim Lanzone had told me earlier that relatively few people
are hitting the site. The real goal of the campaign is to raise awareness
through offline promotion. Picking up a Wall Street Journal story certainly
gives them a success, on that front.
Below is a trailer explaining the campaign from Ask's advertising company,
that they said I could share. To see the TV adverts, jump to 1 minute 45 seconds
into it.

Defensive end now under contract through 2015 season Aaron Wilson
The Pittsburgh Steelers have picked up the fifth-year option for defensive end Cameron Heyward through the 2015 season, their 2011 first-round draft pick.
This secures Heyward for a fifth season.
The Steelers exercised the option prior to a May 3 NFL deadline.
Drafted 31st overall out of Ohio State, Heyward is due a $6.969 million salary.
In 13 starts last season, Heyward recorded 63 tackles, five sacks, five passes defensed, and 31 pressures.
