Resurgence Of Souls Lyrics - Overcome
revive the spirit of the low
restore the heart of the contrite
break not your yoke with the Lord
don't tear off your bonds of faith
your backsliding will rebuke you.
you reap what you sow
destruction for those
who sow their sinful lives
but eternal life
for those sowing light
do not be decieved
your actions bring great consequence
restore your dying soul
for wide is the gate
and broad is the road
that leads to hell, many enter through it
but small is the gat and narrow the road.
that leads to life. few find it.

Finished brewing Jamil's blond ale yesterday and I have questions regarding color. The color at the preboil was spot on. However after the 60 min boil the color changed to a much darker wort. This is an extract batch there was no scorching of the malt. Any ideas on the possible cause?
Nothing Beats a Fool's Luck . . . and I am the Master Fool.
Thanks guys-- should this effect flavor?

After Miami Beach, The New York Edition Will Open in April
We've hardly gotten over the exciting news that the Ian Schrager's latest hotel, Miami Beach Edition, is opening on November 10 but now we're absolutely freaking out that the New York Edition will open on April 1, 2015. And no, that's not a cruel April Fools Joke.
In a newsletter update sent out to subscribers, Edition Hotels, a Marriott International brand, touted the rave review that the NY Times bestowed on the London Edition. Of course, we already knew how special this hotel was when it first opened and when we spent the night back in March.
But at the bottom of the email, Edition made note of the Miami Beach opening date along with New York which is listed as "premiering on 4.1.15." Oh Em Gee.

A Sneak Peek at The First Airport Andaz Hotel in Delhi
The Andazms won't stop coming!
We gave you a little update last week on the new Andaz Hotels expected to open in the next few years. Thanks to a connected tipster, we've got some scoop on one of those upcoming hotels--The Andaz Delhi in India.
The hotel will be close to the Delhi International Airport in a mixed-use project called, Aerocity. This will be the first airport hotel for the Andaz brand. According to the architect firm, the hotel will have seven stories, 446 guest rooms, ballroom space, meeting rooms, two rooms, gardens, fitness center, a spa and an outdoor pool. Sounds pretty swish for an airport hotel, we have to say. But you know, don't make this a thing, Andaz.
The hotel has no opening date but it is in pre-opening stages and already has a rather experienced general manager, which is a very good sign. In total, there will be three Andaz Hotels in India--Andaz Aerocity, Andaz Gurgaon and Andaz Jaipur. That's good for us, is it good for you?

A Glimpse Of The Sexy Modern Me Milan Il Duca, Opening 2015
We've got Milan on our minds today
The "young and rich" luxury brand that is ME by Melia is in the midst of a global expansion, making powerful modern design statements (to put it lightly) in each city it debuts.
With hotels like ME London, a futuristic class act by Foster + Partner; the recently opened sexy cool ME Majorca and ME Ibiza; and the mind-altering ME Dubai, coming in 2016, it should be no surprise that when ME Milan Il Duca opens next year, it, too, will be something very special.

The Short, But Very Important, List of New Hotels Coming to Chicago
Chicago has been a breeding ground for new hotels and new hotel concepts for a few years now. We even named it the Best Hotel Scene back in 2011. But the hospitality winds of change are just starting to pick up.
By our count, 8 very important hotels will open in Chicago in the next two years. Of course, there will be many, many, more hotels opening than just eight. But here are the ones we're dying to sleep with.
1. Virgin Chicago: At long last, Virgin Hotels finally revealed its much hyped but much covered up hotel concept last week. And we are loving it. Rooms will officially open to guests in the dead of winter on January 15 at $209 a night. We're currently hunting down a faux fur coat to accompany us on our virgin stay with Virgin Hotels.

Ace Hotels to Bring Their A-Game to Chicago
What is everyone smoking in Chicago? Because hotels want to go to there, badly.
We're still digesting the news that we'll be able to stay at the Virgin Hotel Chicago on January 15 and we're still not quite over the coolness of the new Soho House Chicago. Heck, we're still in love with Ian Schrager's Public Hotel (although a friend tells us the property is starting to show some wear and tear after three years.) Now, our minds are spinning over the announcement of an Ace Hotel coming to the Windy City.
Curbed Chicago has all the pertinent details of the property and its location.
The upcoming Ace will be located literally right across the street from the old Fulton Market Cold Storage building, which Sterling Bay is also developing. The Fulton Market Cold Storage facility, now called 1K Fulton will become the future home of hundreds of Google employees, as well as the new global headquarters of Chicago-based SRAM Corporation.
The area is also home to the Soho House as well as the upcoming Nobu Chicago.
Details are scant on what will actually be inside this Ace but we bet there will be the usual Ace Hotels amenities like plenty of Pendleton blankets, a coffee shop of some sorts , a hipster sort of restaurant and free WiFi. Yet given that the competition in Chicago is getting fiercer by the minute, we suspect Ace will bring their A-game out with a few more special features. We can't wait to see what those will be.

We Actually Set Foot In One of the Suites at Chiltern Firehouse
The hotel game is one of patience, confirmed once again for us this week: four years after we first snapped pictures of a dilapidated Marylebone fire station in London, two years after we uncovered a rendering or two, and six months after Andre Balazs finally opened Chiltern Firehouse, we actually made it over the threshold of one of its suites.
The vibe? Think Chateau Marmont, with a touch of vintage and a lived-in feel. Suite number 26 (incidentally the total number of suites in the house) faced Chiltern Street itself and was described to us as one of the larger options. Frustratingly, the only photo we were allowed to take away is the official one above (of a different suite). While each suite differs in size and layout due to the listed building (hallway doors are fire station red and have the original handles, lights are controlled by original black dial switches), furniture and style is consistent throughout.
Number 26 had two banquets with the blue/grey fabric you see in the photo running along the wall, a table with a few chairs and two rust-colored, chintz-covered, fringe-bottomed armchairs. The bed, around the corner in an open-plan L-shape, was dressed in white sheets and had the same wooden headboard as above. Thick carpet, dark blue and with a paisley-like motif, added to the vintage feel. The hallway had a small walk-in closet, a separate powder room, and a bathroom with separate shower and freestanding tub. The shower, big enough to do cartwheels in, had rather interesting pale blue / sea green tiling.

The Virgin Hotel Chicago Will Open, At Last, on January 15 at $209 a Night
We had hoped Santa Branson would deliver a Virgin Hotel by Christmas but it seems like we'll have to wait just a tad longer. However, now we can sneak a peek at the mysterious Virgin.
Earlier tonight, Virgin Hotels, at long last, unveiled their new website with actual information, not just rumors, about their hotels. Even better, reservations are now open for the Virgin Chicago starting on January 15. Rates for a "Chamber King" start at $209 a night.
We're still undressing the Virgin Hotels site but here are the pertinent details. Before we go any further, we strongly suggest you watch the video above to get a clear sense of what the hotel has to offer and how they plan on doing it.

And There Will Be More Andazms After All
Last week, we wondered if there were any more Andaz Hotels on the horizon, aside from the upcoming Munich and Bali properties (which, TBH, had us plenty excited.) As it turns out, we will be having multiple Andazms once again.
A helpful hotel insider reminded us of some rumored Andaz locations that we've already heard about but with some updates. (Yup, we got intimate with Andaz and forgot about it.)
Andaz New Delhi: But apparently, it's near an airport so only for quickies. No opening date yet.
Andaz Mayakoba: It is still expected to open in mid-2015 but we haven't heard much new on the property since it was announced. We'll file this under "Back-Up Andazms."
Andaz Paris: Oui! Andaz Paris should open after the Hyatt Hotel du Louvre gets renovated. However, the renovations have not begun so we'll have to put that cigar on ice.
In the meantime, you can hit up the brand-new Andaz Tokyo for your Andaz fix.
Got any more inside info on how to get with an Andaz? Hand it over.

The Second Zetter Townhouse Is Delayed Until the End of the Year
On a crisp winter day back in March, we walked down London's Seymour street to look at the latest venture of The Zetter Group, converting a Georgian townhouse into its first Marylebone and third overall hotel.
At the time, we hoped an early fall opening would have been in the cards. While a photo of this past weekend reveals the double-wide brick façade, it also shows some work is still to be done, which the Zetter website confirms: opening will be at the end of 2014.
The official name also appears to be The Zetter Townhouse, Marylebone (rather than The Zetter Seymour) to sit alongside The Zetter Townhouse, Clerkenwell. We still have to wait for a look at the 24 rooms, cocktail bar, and rooftop apartment with terrace and outdoor bath, but we'll have that for you when we can.

Mondrian London Sets Sail at Sea Containers
Following a snapshot on Wednesday, it's time to take a closer look at Mondrian London at Sea Containers, now finally open on the city's Southbank. Getting inside the hotel is possible from the river if you're on foot, but the main entrance – white curtains, candles, and all – is on Upper Ground, where construction on Southbank Tower is still in full swing.
Up a few steps and past the second of two oversized interlocking anchor chains (the first is outside), you'll find reception (above), sliced out of the copper hull that runs all the way to the river, with spotlights marking its shape as a dotted line on the floor.

Andaz Hotels to Open in Bali in 2016, But Where Else?
We were thrilled back in February about the announcement of Andaz Munich since we have
a hot and heavy love affair sort of a thing for Andaz Hotels. But somehow we totally missed out on the other news that Andaz dropped that month as wel--Andaz Bali.
There's not much info to go on but the beachfront Andaz Bali will open in 2016 (before the Andaz Munich). The property will be designed by Tierra Design and Japanese interior design firm Spin Design Studio. Here's a little more on the hotel set-up, straight from the Hyatt press release:
The hotel will be comprised of low-rise clusters and pavilions set within dramatic landscaping, and will feature 144 guestrooms and villas, small intimate meeting facilities, multiple dining options, a fitness center, several outdoor swimming pools, and a spa.
Sounds so very Andazy. And we're completely ok with that.
But aside from Andaz Munich and Bali, there doesn't seem to be any other Andazs on the horizon. We have to ask--Andaz, are you ok? Are you ok, Andaz? Or are you just taking your time with the foreplay?
Guess we'll just have to amuse ourselves with the new Andaz Tokyo and the Andaz Papagayo.

Welcome to Mondrian London at Sea Containers
We said on Monday that September was making its last two days count in London, and it did: following the opening of The Beaumont in tony Mayfair, we finally had a chance to see inside Mondrian at Sea Containers last night.
The references to the building's history are everywhere: from the copper hull that cuts from the entrance past reception to the riverside restaurant in a sweeping curve to the actual containerships displayed in the lounge above.

True-Conservatives need to find their go-to guy. They didn´t seem to have anyone that could stand up to reasonable scrutiny for more than a month or two in 2012. Maybe Cruz will work out. He is certainly smart enough but the press seems to have him squarely in their cross hairs.I think that Cruz could beat a Deval Patrick. America is fed up with Affirmative Action Presidents. Sadly if HRC gets the nomination, she will be deemed as "the safe choice" when compared to a press-demonized Cruz. Thus the general election will bring on eight more years of really bad luck.

One thing Romney has, and every other Republican candidate/President will need is an absolute rock solid faith and self sufficiency to survive the coming brutality.And believe me, the next candidate will need that in spades because we have never seen a tsunami of hate and lies as will descend upon that luckless person courtesy of an enraged media and their progressive allies during the next election cycle.They only made a snuff film about GWB, but the political landscape has moved a lot farther left since then.

If Romney was unable to defeat the ruined ashes of Our Historic First Black President, how could he possibly beat The Smartest Woman In The World - Our Historic First Female President and Saviour?As long as the loathsome MSM is allowed and able to intimidate the electorate, in close and illegal collaboration with the DNC, into only voting for politically correct candidates ( = Leftists), it really matters not many smidgens if the Mean-Greedy-Racist candidate is named Romney or Cruz or Paul or Palin.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Ann Seaburg of Cape Coral says she is planning to sue Lee County Probation, claiming it mishandled the case of Connell Carroll. He is accused of killing Seaburg's daugther, Nicole Smith, in May of 2011.
"My heart breaks the most because my granddaughter will never know her mother," said Seaburg. Her granddaughter was only 3 months old at the time of the murder. Smith was holding the child when she was shot and killed in Fort Myers. Carroll is described as an ex-boyfriend of Smith.
Seaburg says she will claim that probation officers did not enforce requirements for Carroll.
"My daughter would be alive today, if the probation department had done its job correctly," she told WINK News.
Court administration could not address the issues directly, because a lawsuit is pending. However, it did supply documentation showing that officers were monitoring Carroll closely at times before the Smith murder. They even had him sent to jail once for violations.
Seaburg is looking for a lawyer to take her case. She has filed a notice to sue with the probation department.
Carroll has been found competent to stand trial for the murder of Smith. He may get a trial date in winter or spring of next year.

Offensive, iconoclastic internet trolls will NOT be prosecuted, says DPP
No need for publically funded sledge-hammers
If a communication is an incitement to commit an offence, an incitement to racial hatred, or likely to lead to a breach of the peace, then arguably the interests of the wider community are at stake, and prosecution at public expense may be warranted.
If the offensive message is defamatory or offensive to the person concerned, why does the public interest require the state to intervene? The courts have ample powers to settle disputes between parties - and the party affected can bring a lawsuit, and if successful, recover their costs.
There is simply no need to waster taxpayers money enforcing manners through criminal sanctions.

Faking reviews? You should fret about more than illegality
Probably quite illegal
Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006:
(1)A person is in breach of this section if he—
(a)dishonestly makes a false representation, and
(b)intends, by making the representation—
(i)to make a gain for himself or another, or
(ii)to cause loss to another or to expose another to a risk of loss.
Paying someone to post a false review would very probably come within the definition of fraud.
Whether the Crown Prosecution Service would actually prosecute is another matter...
Of course there's nothing to stop any private person, or association, bringing a prosecution, provided they have enough evidence to show a case to answer.
Google's Wi-Fi snoop nabbed passwords and emails

How is this different to walking down the street with a tape-recorder ? If people are having a conversation in public, then they have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

If you don't want it listened to, encrypt it.
Suspended-animation cold sleep achieved in lab
Literally frozen ?
"her body temperature plunged to just 16°C* before she was rescued, warmed - and came miraculously back to life, despite having literally frozen to death"
Hate to be a pedant (ok, I'm lying, I love it actually) but 16° C is not "frozen". Frozen is 0.
So she wasn't. Not literally or for that matter at all.

Here is why you should be very, very careful of what you do on holiday:
1. You can now be extradited to many countries without them showing the Court here the evidence
2. The only requirements are that it would be an offence here and that you COULD get 12 months
3. Re-read point 2 - that's could, not would. Nick a Mars bar, you could get years - you would probably get a fine. No matter, you are off. What's that ? Life destroyed ? Tough.
4. For EU countries, it doesn't even have to be an offence here, provided you could get 3 years
5. Cops beat you up ? Torture witnesses ? You're still off - "it can be all be sorted out at trial".

US state bars sex offenders from 'social networking sites'
Already happens in Blighty
If you are convicted of a sexual offence in England and Wales, a Crown Court judge has the power to impose a "Sexual Offence Prevention Order" - SOPO.
The Crown Prosecution Service routinely draft these to include "not to use social networking sites" - particularly in indecent images or "grooming" cases. Some are drafted even wider - "not to use the internet" - but if defence counsel are even half-awake and object the judge will usually take a more realistic view: "Not to use the internet to contact any person under 18 unless authorised to do so by the Probation Service".
Which seems fair enough. If you are convicted of a sex offence involving minors, you lose your write to contact them unsupervised.
Boston student fined thousands for Napstering
Law 101

DataViz Documents To Go 1.0
Not very useful
At the moment, if you want to edit documents on your iPhone, there are pretty much only two contenders:
It doesn't look as if either have quite thought through how and why people would need on-the-go document editing.
If you can afford an iPhone, you likely have a computer. With a big screen. And a real keyboard too. So are you going to be doing all your word-processing on your iPhone - er, no.
Which means you'll be wanting to do a couple of things: synchronise different versions, and send the documents to people (after all, if you're using your iPhone rather than your main machine, its likely because you are out of the office and in a hurry.
At the moment, Docs-to-Go allows you to synchronise, but not send, and Quickoffice allows you to send but not synchronise.
Both need to try harder.

Pudsey Bear refused UK passport
Judicially Review them
Officials can be compelled by the courts to do their duty:
1. It would appear that Ms Bear has legally changed her name.
2. The law (and the UK passport's services own guidance) entitle her to obtain a passport in that name.
3. The UKPS's purported discretion to refuse her one appears to have no basis in law or be founded on any lawful policy.
It is nothing to do with "human rights" - its to do with acting lawfully - which the UKPS appear to regard as optional.
Perhaps a quick judicial review would serve to remind them it is not.

Pirate Bay judge and pro-copyright lobbyist accused of bias
Bias and appearance
Don't know about Sweden, but here the test in not just whether the judge is actually biased, but whether there is an appearance of bias.
"The question is whether the fair-minded and informed observer, having considered the facts, would conclude that there was a real possibility that the tribunal was biased." per Lord Hope in Magill v. Weeks [2001] UKHL 67
As Lord Hoffman found out to his cost when he failed to recuse himself from the Pinochet case - despite being a member of Amnesty International, which had filed amicus briefs in the case.
Verizon to prosecute anons for communications sabotage
Your healdine: prosecute != sue
The state prosecutes crimes. If defendants are convicted they may pay a fine.
Individuals or companies sue (by bringing a lawsuit). If the defendants are found liable (ie lose) then they pay damages.
Photocops: Home Office concedes concern
S.1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 applies to searches for stolen or prohibited articles, and requires "reasonable suspicion".
It would be a very long stretch to argue that a photograph comes under s.1.
Even if photos were capable of being "stolen or prohibited articles" the officer exercising a power must:
- hold a genuine belief/suspicion etc
- hold a belief suspicion that is *reasonable* (ie a genuine but bizarre or unreasonable belief is not enough)
- exercise any power reasonably (and where any European Convention prohibition is interfered with, proportionately)
So whatever power officers purport to be exercising, s.1 PACE is probably not a runner.
Miss Universe pops into Guantánamo Bay

'Wikipedia killer' pilfers blogosphere, taunts bloggers
Homosexual defamatory ?
Prof. Goldman would be right to say that (thankfully) we have moved on and being homosexual is not something that would lower someone in the estimation of right-thinking members of society. However, a statement that someone is of a particular sexual orientation (straight or gay) may be libelous if it implies to those who know the person that the subject of the statement has misrepresented their identity.
It may be potentially libelous for example to say that Graham Norton is in fact straight.

Apple plays catch-up with new iPhone features
Cut & Paste - why so long coming
The absence of cut and paste is due to the security lockdown on the iPhone. There is no common filespace, and rather than restrict access using POSIX permissions, Apple chose (in its wisdom) to have single user, but use signed executables and encrypted storage - each app can only see and read its own data (Apple apps can read each other's data because they are signed with the same key).
I'm guessing that's why cut and paste was non-trivial to implement (rather than the oft-quoted "we couldn't think of a gesture interface for it" excuse).

US killer robo-plane makes strike without remote pilot

We live in hard times, and expense must saved.
We have more and more drones, more and more surveillance footage, and fewer and fewer qualified intelligence analysts and pilots prepared to take the strain.
The surveillance drone footage can be made available on the interweb, and members of the public can log into view it live.
If someone spots a person of ill-intent bent of destroying our way of life, he can log onto one of the drones flying in a holding pattern in theatre, take control and light that sonofabitch up.
It would keep costs down, keep more eyeballs on targets and give frag-hungry teenagers something to do. Hell, people would even pay for the privilege. Win-win proposition.

Apple channels Pandora with iTunes 8
iPod Classic - New, now with less storage
There is now only one size of iPod Classic. "One size fits all" says Apple - and that new size is 120GB. So the message from Cupertino is if you have more than 120GB, you have too much music - get a life.
Or get onto eBay and snap up a 160GB Classic while you still can.
Game sharer gets £16K fine
Damages != fine
The Court ordered the Defendant to pay damages to the Claimant. A fine is where a court orders a criminal to pay money to the state after a conviction.
Since we're on the subject, damages are not punishment - they are mean to put the Claimant in the position they would have been if the Defendant had not committed the tort. So what the court is saying is that if Ms Barwinska had not done what she did, Topware would have earned an extra £ 16,000.

Apple iPhone 3G
@jai Re: re: Wish list - cut & paste
"how would you implement the "cut and paste" on a system with no keys and only finger input?"
The beauty of Apple's approach (and the breakthrough idea arguably) is the use of more than one finger (eg pinch zoom).
There's already the magnifying glass tool to allow cursor placement - a chorded tap (ie tapping with a second finger while holding down the finger keeping the magnifying glass active), would not be beyond the skill of most users to learn - particularly if there are keen enough to want to cut and paste in the first place. A less elegant, but more obvious and less RTFM way would be to have an interface element (button, pop-up menu etc) that appears along with the text entry tools.
Not an insurmountable problem considering the gargauntuan pile of cash Steve & Co are sitting on.
Wish list
Stevey boy, listen up:
1. Cut-and-frackin-paste. MacOS 1.0 had that.
2. User filespace. We like to keep stuff and use different apps on it
3. Global search. We need to find stuff.

Very impressive, but....
Palm ate the Newton's lunch by doing four basic things right: contacts, calendar, notes and tasks (oh, and not giving its users a hernia).

And fer fracks sake - three words Steve: cut - and - paste.

Second-order correlation
AKA, the skeptics mantra - "correlation does not prove causation".
The poorer you are, the less percieved control you have over your life (google "internal locus of control" and "social status"). You are more likely to attribute your bad job, bad housing, bad health to external forces (star sign, evil spirits or bearded supernatural white guys with divine status)
The poorer you are, the lower you will tend to score in IQ tests (google "underfunded schools").
Not suprisingly therefore the two tend to co-occur.
Likely too that IQ will correlate with driving Bentleys - for the simialr reasons (with some statistical outliers for footballers)

Apple's 3G iPhone to launch 11 July
Wait for January
Here's why its still got the 2 MP camera. In the Book of Steve, expandable=bad. So no SD card slot. So you're limited by onboard RAM. Steve doesn't want you filling up that 8 or 16 GB of RAM with 5 MP pics of your friends when you could be filling it with iTunes tracks at $1 a pop.
So when RAM prices make a 32 GB model feasible, I bet we'll see that camera get a bump.
Now quite what they're smoking in Cupertino that they couldn't fix copy and paste I don't know...
The reason the Palm was such a success (and arguably the CrackBerry) is that it does (did?) the basics well. Contacts, Appointments, Tasks and Notes (and later email).
The iPhone does not yet handle Notes properly, and its too early to tell whether the Tasks are properly synched over the air (whether through ActiveSync or MobileMe)
Maybe the bit that Steve doesn't get is that those of us who don't have minions to remember stuff for us need to write it down somewhere..
City anti-Scientology protestor avoids court summons
Plod need to brush up...
The Public Order Act is not designed to protect people's feelings - its designed to protect, er, public order. So even if what you say is offensive, it must be offensive and threaten public order - hence the requirement that the behaviour or words be within the sight of someone likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress.
You also have a complete defence if you prove that your conduct is reasonable.
Then there's the oft-maligned Human Rights Act, which guarantees your right to freedom of expression (Article 10 of the European Convention). Ok, its qualified, and not as robust as the US 1st amendment... but its better than nothing. Come to think of it, as the Americans aren't using their constitution, can we borrow it ?

While their mates are in school, a growing number of teenage boys struggle with life inside a busy Lagos market, OLALEYE ALUKO reports
The venue was the Ojurin Market at Pen Cinema, Agege area of Lagos. The time was about 10am. The cynosure of traders and buyers in the market was a fighting scene among a group of teenage boys.
The fight, which saw the hungry-looking boys hurling punches at one another, lasted for several minutes while some passers-by who cared to intervene only succeeded in adding to the cacophony of noise in the market.
The lads were fighting over some take-away plates of rice.
Apart from the fact that these children, whose ages range between 13 and 16 years, are supposed to be in school by that time, they are also dressed in tattered clothes, which suggest they have long left their homes.
Though they looked haggard, a closer interaction with our correspondent showed that these lads are not beggars. According to the boys, some of them come from broken homes; while others have lost either or both parents and so are in custody of their relatives.
Fifteen-year-old Akinsiku David says he used to stay with his divorced mother on Ezebuka Street, Akinola area, Iyana Ipaja, before he came to the market about a month ago. He adds that he dropped out of secondary school in JSS2. His parents had separated in court and his jobless father had packed out of the house.
Efforts to reach David's mother on the mobile line which the boy supplied did not yield any result as of the time of this report. Also, David adds that his mother does not come home until late at night.
Wasiu Segun, 16, who finished primary education in Ansar-u-Deen Primary School, Ilaro, Ogun State, but dropped out of school in JSS3, explains what they usually do in the market.
"We normally hang around with the beggars. When 'the good people' bring food or money for them, they drop for us too. Sometimes, we push trucks and carry loads for marketers. Some of us have also started learning phone repairs," he says.
For Aduragbemi Adeiga, 14, who once stayed with his mother on Ifelodun Street, Oko Oba area, Agege, a different reason led to his taking refuge in the market.
"I was attending a private secondary school in Alakuko, and I was in JSS3 when I stopped going. My father is no longer living with my mum, and my mother cannot afford the schools in this area because they are expensive. For me, I still want to return to school. I also love to become a footballer," he says with a smile on his face.
As if they are going to receive honorarium for granting the interview, the boys, numbering about 12, struggle to relay their different accounts to this correspondent.
But a middle-aged man, Mr. Yemi Ojeniyi, who acts as the 'patron' of these market boys, has this to say about them.
Ojeniyi says, "Sir, I don't trust any of them. As you see them, some usually smoke cigarettes and Indian hemp. I caught them red-handed. Most of them steal in the market. There is hardly any of them who has not once been reported.
"Actually, one or two of them have parents who even come here to ask about them, but they simply just refuse to return home. It may be because they are idle at home since they are not in school."
He, however, clarifies that the boys are not into any sexual escapades as much as he knows.
As the discussion lingered, a woman with a child strapped to her back was about taking one of the boys away. The woman, who later identified herself as Mrs. Adebiyi Esther and a mother of one of the boys, told our correspondent that her son, 14-year-old Olusegun, just decided to flee from home.
"Yes, it is true that his father and I have separated. But I try as much as I can to keep him from wandering. I am a petty trader. But he has a secondary school which he has just decided to ignore. Please help me on how to tame him," she pleads.
However, realising that she was being interviewed, she quickly withdrew and left the scene.
Meanwhile, an official of the National Union of Road Transport Workers at Ojurin Park, who simply identified himself as Olawale, urged the state government to assist in rehabilitating the youngsters who roam the market.
"They should all be packed away to a rehabilitation centre, where they can learn a trade or be placed in school," he suggests.
At a recent conference on Child Rights Protection in Lagos, the deputy governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, had promised that the state would be more proactive in the enforcement of the rights of children.
In a speech read by her representative, Orelope-Adefulire said, "Since the passage of the Child's Rights Law in 2007, tremendous efforts have been made to enforce child rights protection in the state. This includes the introduction of the yellow card to create widespread awareness."
According to the yellow card, every child must be in school, as basic education is free and compulsory in the state.
It further warns parents and guardians to comply or face prosecution.
The enforcement of these rights is directly under the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in Lagos State.
An educationist, Dr. Ijeoma Unachukwu, who warns of the dire consequences of teenage dropouts, advises the government to intensify enlightenment programmes for their parents.
"These kids are readily available tools for hooliganism and all forms of societal violence. There will be gradual increase in juvenile crimes, sexual abuses, theft and armed robbery. Illiterate parents hardly care if their children drop out and roam the streets.
"The solution is continuous enlightenment. Imagine all these children growing into manhood without any education. This is a whole lot of dangerous consequences," she explains.

For couple of months now I've been feeling like I'm about to throw up during the workout. It's been getting gradually worse over time. At first it was something I would encounter occasionally in the last few reps of a hard set but now it lasts through the whole workout and starts when I'm warming up. I'm still making gains in both rep weights and bodyweight but the constant bad feeling is starting to degrade my motivation and concentration in the gym. I've also had to interrupt few workouts after squatting because of this.
I've noticed a slight increase in my resting heart rate but I haven't actually measured it. This made me lean towards the symptoms of overtraining but the fact that I'm still making decent gains tells me otherwise. To counter overtraining I've always done a lighter deloading week every 5-6 weeks of intense work-out but this time I didn't really see any positive effects after doing one. The program I used when I noticed that my heart rate had increased a bit and started to experience the feeling of throwing up was MadCow 5x5 which I recently changed to GVT (I've done the routine before and the intensity shouldn't be too much for me).
I've been suspecting that this might have something to do with my nutrition. I've been following my macros for over a year and my target has been to gain 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, 1.5-2x the amount of protein as carbohydrates and the rest as fat - I'm currently running a total of 4000 daily calorie intake. On top of regular food I'm also consuming cod-liver oil (5-10ml a day), apple cider vinegar (2 sets of 5-10ml a day) and vitamin D (1000iu because in the wintertime I can't get it from the sun in my country). Currently I'm also taking creatine but it has never given me any side effects at all. Pre-workout I've usually eaten a warm meal (potatoes, pasta, meat etc.) and in the gym right before starting to warm up a banana or orange to kickstart my workout with the fast carbohydrates. I even tried to bring some raisins to the gym and eat them beetween sets but I didn't feel any better.
Here's some stats to give you some perception of my current shape:
5'9 180lb (up from 170lb this year)
5RM ATG Squat: 280lb (up from 255lb in last 2 months)
5RM Deadlift: 270lb (up from 250lb in last 2 months)
5RM Flat Bench Press: 190lb (been stagnant for a while)
5RM Bent-Over Row: 190lb (up from 165lb in last 2 months)
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Hola, just started playing again after taking a break before Cata came out.
I hit 85 and was looking to play as Arms and Fury, but was asked to Tank as I have more experience tanking than DPSing. So anyway, I am gearing up as best as I can, but my DPS value is pretty flipping low, and I can't figure out how to raise it.
(I am not done enchanting and gemming my gear, as I said I just returned to playing, and still trying to get things to a good point)
When I solo/ run dailies, Recount is putting my DPS at approx 3k, this is in Arms stance, but with Prot gear/ spec, and when I go fully arms, I am at around 2700. I've read all the guides on Elitist jerks and browsed the threads here as best I can. I don't "think" its an issue with how I play or UI issue, it could be.
Truth be told normally I wouldn't care allot about this, but as a casual player now, I want to try to maximise my ability to get through instances faster. (if that even makes sense)
Thank you for your help.

Patagonia Women's Down Sweater
Products on Sale are Discontinued Styles or Colors.
The Patagonia Women's Down Sweater is actually not a sweater at all. It's actually a super warm insulated jacket. Those crazy Patagonia Outerwear folks must be losing their minds. At least they are good at making premium 800-fill-power goose down insulated women's jackets. I wonder if calling it a down sweater when its actually a Superlight, windproof and water-resistant shell is false advertising? Someone should call Patagonia out. It could be a showdown. There could be gunslingers involved. No real guns though, just water pistols.
Super Important Note - Some of the Patagonia Down Sweaters for Fall 2011 are made with non-recycled fabric. If you receive a non-recycled version of a Down Sweater, the fabric color may vary slightly from the images seen here. Sorry about all of it, and please don't hate us.

This jacket is incredibly stylish, but its functionality exceeds its form. Patagonia uses high quality down, so it has a great warmth to weight ratio. It is slightly less fitted than the newer version but it runs true to size. The only down side (see what I did there?) is that the feathers are sort of visible, causing some shadowing, through the white fabric. I thought it added some unique character, but my wife wasn't wild about it. And it does not apply to other colors.
I ordered an XS but it's definitely bulkier than their other pieces with regular fit. This is especially true at the armpit. Also, the jacket is on the short side. But regardless, it is super warm and soft and packed down small.
Just like a down jacket should be. Haven't had any problems with the feathers sticking out like you do on some other jackets. The jacket is well cut (i.e. you don't look like a blob) and I haven't had problems with it riding up. It seems to fit nicely under an outer jacket (if you're using this for snow sports). The only thing I wish it had were thumb loops! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend it.
This jacket is great! Very lightweight, but knowing Patagonia I am sure it will be very warm! ( It's summer so I haven't been able to test it out officially.) The fit is very comfortable and sure to size. The color, berry, is really niceand bright. I would definitely recommend thisjacket!!!!!
This is a great layer for under a shell while heli skiing or back country skiing, its also great casually, you can dress it up, i like the black...i wear it with black skinny jeans when going out but i also wear it with flannels. or with an under layer...its adapts to lots of temps and can pack up small for backpacking. its kind of nice to have no hood...so under a shell you don't have 2 hoods.
I bought this jacket as a gift for my daughter who loves the exterior and the jacket in general. But she NEVER wears PINK and we were shocked to see it has a brilliant pink lining. No wonder it is discontinued.
I received the Patagonia Women's Down Sweater as a gift for my birthday. It is honestly the bomb diggity of jackets! It weighs next to nothing yet is crazy warm and snuggly. I have the white color and yes you can see a faint hint of the feathers yet it somehow adds to the look (clean, modern with a touch of nature!) I can't seem to take it off! And as a side note....I have the vest version in green and have always loved it BUTwho knew that adding arms would be doubly divine!

Nas Says Will Smith Wrote "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" & Details Career In Reddit AMA
Nas also gives praise to Drake, Public Enemy, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Jay Electronica, Rick Ross, ScHoolboy Q, YG, Fashawn and Bishop Nehru, among others.
Nas participated in a Reddit AMA session today (April 15). During the session, the rapper spoke about a variety of topics, including his 20-year-old debut, Illmatic, his view on the current state of Hip Hop and his rumored ghostwriting on Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."
"Alright, let's clear this up once and for all. I hung out with Will in the studio. And watched him write it. It was a fun studio session, and I said a line or two or three to him. It wasn't that serious. Will Smith wrote that song. But seriously, I watched him have fun making that record on his own, and Will is a true MC," Nas says.
Will Smith isn't the only emcee Nas praised. The Queensbridge rapper also recognized several other rappers as emcees he is interested in listening to today, including Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Jay Electronica, Rick Ross, Schoolboy Q, YG, Jeezy, Bishop Nehru and Fashawn. Aside from naming emcees he listens to today, Nas also praised rappers who have crafted albums that have been "significant in shaping the culture."
"Public Enemy's It Takes a nation. Erik B and Rakim Paid in Full. Drake's last album Holy Grail," Nas says regarding this topic.
Another rapper Nas mentions in his AMA is The Notorious B.I.G. "Class act. Also funny. Naturally funny. And he was a genius," Nas says.
Below are some select quotes from Nas' AMA.
Regarding Illmatic's Classic Rating: "Someone asked when I realized Illmatic was classic and what jazz I'd recommend: I would recommend Love Supreme by John Coltrane. And I guess when I played it for my guys in my neighborhood, they told me it was a classic. Really surreal moment."
On His Music's Impact: Yeah, I'm sure man. At least once a year, a fan will tell me that one of my albums helped them find a reason to not commit suicide and to go on. That's powerful. I'm humbled. And it scares the shit out of me too.
When Asked To Tell Jay Electronica To Release His Album: I tell him almost eveyr day.
Regarding His Favorite Television Shows: Modern Family, that girl, Sofia Vergara, I need her. Walking Dead. House of Cards is my shit.
On Remixes To Past Work: I was not down with it originally. I didn't want to do that. But I was happy it happened afterwards. I like the World is Yours remix by Q-tip and the It Ain't Hard to Tell remix by the Large Professor. Those remixes I love.
When Asked About Past Rap Monikers: Rapper Nas, and another one that I will never tell. MC Nice was one too.

I was wondering what you both thought of this...
"The first baby in the UK tested before conception for a genetic form of breast cancer has been born."
"Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves taking a cell from an embryo at the eight-cell stage of development, when it is around three-days old, and testing it.
This is before conception - defined as when the embryo is implanted in the womb.
Doctors then select an embryo free from rogue genes to continue the pregnancy, and discard any whose genetic profile points to future problems. "
|Sun, 01-11-2009 - 11:07pm
Well -- as much as I love science and medicine .. I also feel that just because we can do something doesn't mean we should. One the surface it seems like "Great! Now this family will never have to worry about cancer caused by that one gene!" ... buuut ... I also take issue with the idea of intentionally altering or selecting an embryo to be born based on genetic makeup or features that one assumes he/she will have (ie selecting gender, hair / eye color). Maybe that's the traditional part of me .. I like to have a little surprise and maybe that's messing around with nature a little too much.
I will also pass this along to DH to see what his thoughts are ;) ... though it's my guess that he'll be feeling about the same way about it as I do!
|Sun, 01-11-2009 - 11:17pm
I wanted to see what you (and dh) had to say about it scientifically. Letting us all know that your dh is a scientist may not have been the best idea. Let me know if he gets sick of being bugged about stuff! ;-)

I had a question for your hubby as it relates to HIV. I've been rather submersed in HIV/AIDS literature since Maggiore died. Is he studying any specific mechanism by which HIV destroys CD4s? There are several theories, which do you (or DH) place most of your "stock" and what are your long term thoughts on antiretroviral treatment for those diagnosed with HIV infection but are asymptomatic?
(Sincere questions)
|Wed, 01-21-2009 - 11:00am
Response to the first part: (he's working on the rest)
Although most of my work was not on the pathogenesis side of HIV but
rather focused on viral genetics and antigenecity of the HIV gp120
envelope as it changes over time I can still answer your question as I
have had some decent exposure to this subject. Since the immune
system is pretty complex and involves multiple contributing factors in
developing disease there is actually not necessarily one set way that
the body will lose T-cells. Most immunologists, however, will agree
that there are probably three primary mechanisms by which CD4+ cells
are depleted in HIV infections. First, remember that HIV is a
retrovirus meaning that it has the ability to reverse transcribe its
RNA genome and insert it as DNA into the host cell (generally a CD4+
T-cell although other cells such as macrophages and dendritics can be
infected as well). As these cells divide they replicate the viral DNA
and then at a specific time the cell's machinery becomes hijacked and
the virus begins replicating itself faster than the cell until
continuous replication causes the cell to die via lysis (or bursting)
as its membrane becomes compromised. Secondly, the virus has 15
proteins, some of which actually serve to dysregulate T-cells and
actually send them into overdrive and cause them to commit suicide via
a process known as apoptosis. Third, viral antigens produced in the
cytosol of the host CD4+ cell will be picked up and presented by MHC1
on the surface of infected CD4+ T-cells and this in turn will cause
killing of infected cells by CD8+ T-cells. I also saw a presentation
several years ago by a postdoctoral fellow in Rafi Ahmed's lab at
Emory University who was showed that CD8+ cells also become
"exhausted" by HIV and this leads to their downregulation and allows
the virus to gain a foothold.

Somdev Devvarman sounded confident about pulling his weight in the quest for medals in tennis in the Asian Games.
After a solid training session at the Aoti Complex here on Friday, Devvarman said: "Playing for the country is a great privilege and I enjoy doing it. We have a great opportunity and the young team is motivated. We will be tough to beat.''
With the Indian men's team getting a first round bye like 13 other teams in a field of 18, Devvarman and company will start their campaign against Qatar.
Coach Nandan Bal insisted that Devvarman would play singles in all the matches irrespective of the strength of the opposition. He added that it was a great draw and the team had the chance to go for a medal better than a bronze.
Favourable draw
"We have a great draw. Qatar should not pose much of a problem. We get to play Thailand in the quarterfinals. Paradorn Srichaphan is not there and Danai Udomchoke is not the same force and is ranked around 400. We really fancy our chances,'' said Nandan Bal, quite happy with the way the boys have been shaping in the training sessions.
Though it may be fashionable to look at one match at a time, Bal, who had motivated Mahesh Bhupathi to bring out his best in the last Asian Games with some stinging remarks, was willing to rate India's chances against the top-seeded Chinese Taipei in the semifinal.
"Somdev had destroyed Yen-Hsun Lu in the Davis Cup tie last time. I hope he comes up with a good result again,'' said Bal.
Yen-Hsun Lu has, of course, been in terrific form and had beaten Andy Roddick at Wimbledon on way to the quarterfinals, the first Asian to do so in men's singles in a Grand Slam in the last 15 years. Chinese Taipei won four gold and two silver medals in Doha.
Bal said he was keeping an open mind about fielding Karan Rastogi, Sanam Singh or Vishnu Vardhan for the second singles. He did, however, drop a hint that he may go with Devvarman and Sanam Singh for the key doubles matches as the duo had done well at the Chennai Open.
Ready for the challenge
Conceding that Japan or Uzbekistan would make the final from the other half and both would be tough to face, Bal said the Indian team would be ready for the challenge at every stage.
With Rohan Bopanna not qualifying for the World Tour Finals, there was scope for him to join the rest of the team for the individual events for which entries have to be confirmed by November 14.
Meanwhile, the women's team coach Enrico Piperno felt that Sania Mirza may not be fully ready for the first match against Indonesia as she was still recovering from a throat infection.

text: WSJ: 'Draw Mohammed Day' Equals...Flag Burning? by John Nolte 27 Apr 2010 post a comment Share This: Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto waded into the "South Park" - Muhammad controversy with a column employing this title, subtitle and closing summary: Everybody Burn the Flag If we don't act like inconsiderate jerks, the terrorists will have won .... The problem with the "in-your-face message" of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" is not just that it is inconsiderate of the sensibilities of others, but that it defines those others--Muslims--as being outside of our culture, unworthy of the courtesy we readily accord to insiders. It is an unwise message to send, assuming that one does not wish to make an enemy of the entire Muslim world. Comparing a drawing of Mohammed to flag burning completely misses the point of the energy people have towards the idea driving a Draw Mohammed Day (which looks as though it might have been cancelled anyway on account of...something). Taranto also looks at what kind of behavior will or will not place the Muslim community outside of our culture in a fashion that leans heavily on the politically correct at the expense of logic. When our culture is working the way it should there are no sacred cows. When our culture is firing on all cylinders we collectively take the same amount of incoming fire from our national satirists. Taranto's belief that Muslims should receive some sort of special treatment -- a unique inoculation when it comes to this sort of satire -- that's the act that puts the Muslim community outside of our culture. To be a part of our culture and community means taking the good and the bad. If Taranto's saying we shouldn't offend people just to make a point, that's an impossible standard to maintain consistently, and an especially surprising one coming from a journalist. I also reject the idea that such a protest on our part would "make an enemy of the entire Muslim world." The Muslim world deserves a little more credit than that. But the bottom line is that no one wants to offend Muslims. That's not what the outrage over Comedy Central's gutless censorship and the subsequent attraction to Draw Muhammed Day is about. If we were all about offending Muslims, we didn't need a cartoonist to remind us to do so. It's also worth mentioning that Christians are especially sensitive to the idea of treating all faiths equally and with respect. Not just because that's a requirement of our own faith but because we know the sting better than most when it comes to being singled out for a pop culture thrashing. Granted, some of those shots are deserved and some are even funny. But some are not. Especially the "singled out" part, which is why Taranto's flag burning analogy is such a bad one. We are all allowed to burn the flag. Therefore we all share the right to make whatever statement is made through that act and offend others while doing so. Regardless of your position on the law that allows flag burning in this country, it is at least consistent. Comedy Central, however, is not consistent. They only allow certain statements to be made about certain religions. "While some Muslims hold beliefs that it is against Islam to make images of the Prophet, others have more relaxed attitudes, and among Shia Muslims, such pictures are common, and much liked." Again and again and again, the programming on that channel (and elsewhere in pop culture-dom) savages Christianity and with rare exception, only Christianity, especially of the evangelical sort. In other words, the unwritten rule is that it's okay to burn the Christian flag but not the Muslim flag. And this is what makes Trey Parker and Matt Stone special. The "South Park" creators are equal-opportunity offenders. They are to this generation what the George Carlins and Richard Pryors were to theirs: satirists who don't believe in sacred cows; who employ their unique talents to launch biting, intelligent satire that rarely feels mean-spirited (though it can make you squirm) against any puffed-up balloon they think deserves a pin-prick. Ideology is not what drives them. They don't even seem to be angry. Their muse is what they see as pretense, dishonesty, the very idea that something should be held up as sacred -- and most importantly, making their audience laugh. (This is a striking contrast to the partisan bully-pen made up of Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, David Letterman and whoever's on SNL this season. These are not satarists but rather ideological warriors, Obama's Palace Guards, disguised as entertainers.) The energy towards Draw Mohammed Day has nothing to do with offending Muslims, it's not even about creating gratuitously hurtful portraits of Mohammed -- certainly nothing as wildly offensive as dipping a crucifix in urine (paid for with taxpayer dollars). What it is about is sticking our finger in Comedy Central's cowardly eye and fighting for what they won't on behalf of their own artists: The First Amendment. On some level, we're also standing up to the jihadists, the Muslim extremists intimidating through violence and murder anyone (including millions of innocent Muslims) who don't live their lives according to a twisted ideology. The whole idea behind Draw Mohammed Day was never to offend the everday Muslim but rather to litter the landscape with so many fatwa-worthy targets that a fatwa becomes as impossible as counting the stars. If you think about it, that's a pretty good tactic. And we are at war with these fanatics, right? Is it possible innocent Muslims will see something they rather wouldn't during a Draw Mohammed Day? Of course it is. Just as it's possible Christians like myself will see something we rather wouldn't in an upcoming "South Park" episode. But that's the price we all pay to live in a free society. All. All of us. And paying that small price which serves a much greater good is part of being "inside our culture." The outsiders are the ones given the free ride.
