Wonderful ! Thanks for the heads up. I like Mike Pence. I will be watching and cheering him on!

I really, really hope Pence runs in 2016. He´s the perfect candidate. Apart from his unimpeachable conservative credentials, he has legislative experience, executive experience, and the advantage of having been a broadcaster earlier on in his career, so he knows how the press operates and can deal with them effectively.

Avios appoints MBA to DM and digital account
Avios, the travel loyalty programme previously known as Airmiles, has appointed MBA to handle its direct marketing and digital account.
Avios: anything can fly by 101
The independent agency landed the business following a pitch organised through Agency Assessments International and began in November 2012.
Avios previously handled its direct and digital business in-house. Its advertising account, which is held by 101, is unaffected by MBA's appointment.
MBA's brief will cover communication across all digital, direct and social channels.
The brand's most recent ad, "flying baskets", highlights that purchases through Tesco Clubcard can be used to buy air miles, which can be used to pay towards British Airways flights.
Avios is a shared currency for the Avios UK reward programme, British Airways Executive Club and Iberia Plus, allowing customers of the airlines' parent group International Airlines Group (IAG) access to all three schemes.
Consumers can collect points through Tesco, Lloyds TSB and Shell, as well as through purchases of more than 200 other brands.
Airmiles was renamed as Avios and re-launched following the merger of BA and Iberia to form IAG. The brand was chosen because it is "simple to pronounce and evokes travel and flights in many languages".

Six city churches vandalized
Windows and doors smashed with similar yellowish rocks
Emma Prestwich, Edmonton JournalPublished: Tuesday, October 16 2012
Don Wong doesn't know why his church was targeted.
The business administrator and other members of St. Agnes Roman Catholic Parish had to literally pick up pieces of their church Sunday morning after vandals threw rocks the size of fists at the stained glass windows by the church's entrance.
Wong said it must have been a heavy throw - the rocks smashed through three layers of glass and hit an inside wall, making a dent.
Rev. Jonathan Crane looks at windows damaged by vandals at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 10037 84th Ave.
John Lucas, Edmonton Journal
He said this is the second time a window has been damaged in the last two months.
"We're really upset. It's appalling that people are targeting the church."
St. Agnes was one of six church properties damaged after a vandalism spree early Sunday morning.
Windows and doors of churches were smashed at St. Therese Roman Catholic Parish, Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Edmonton Central Korean Presbyterian Church, Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy, St. Agnes Catholic Parish, and Holy Trinity Anglican Church. The churches are scattered across the city.
The attacks occurred between midnight and 6 a.m. Sunday.
Const. Alex Thomas from the Edmonton police hate crimes unit said at a news conference that the churches were targeted, but police haven't yet discovered a link between the incidents.
He said police can't call the attacks a hate crime because they don't yet know the motivation, but that the hate crimes unit investigates any crime involving a religious institution.
"We're trying to piece together this puzzle; we don't have any suspect information," he said.
However, he said police discovered similar yellowish-white rocks inside all of the vandalized churches.
"They're similar enough where we would have questions as to whether they're from the same place," he said.
Stephen Dufresne, the business manager at St. Therese, said the attack makes him nervous. "When you break a window like that, something could happen afterwards."
Glass panes in four of the church's eight doors were smashed.
Dufresne said the church has video footage of someone walking up to the doors and smashing the panes with a hammer.
Thomas said the estimated cost of damages ranged up to $28,000 for one church.
No one was injured during the attacks, but Holy Trinity Rector Christopher Pappas said he cut his finger while picking up the glass that lay on his sanctuary floor Sunday morning.
He thinks the damaged portions of the stained glass windows likely date back to 1913 and will be expensive to replace. "I was a bit annoyed, to say the least," he said.
Wong said his parish is looking to install video surveillance at the main entrance where the windows were broken.
"We're going to beef up our own procedures to discourage things like this from happening again."
Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or the police complaints line at 780-423-4567.

Hi all,
I installed the Ruby interpreter for Windows on my XP box and all is well except:
The command line window closes *immediately* upon execution of a script.
I click on an .rb file and the window opens, runs the script, and closes so fast it is impossible to review any output.
There must be a configuration setting somewhere that will solve this problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? I prefer not to use FREERIDE or Scite as a workaround.

Fallen at Gettysburg
The Battle of Gettysburg began on this day, July 1, in the year 1863.
4 comments:
The photo is actually a fake. It was taken at Gettysburg after the battle but the man in question was a confederate soldier who was shot in the field (and appears in another photo). The photographer liked this location and moved the body to it and took this photo, titled Sharpshooter at Devil's Den....ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2008 at 10:25 AM
"Fake" is probably much too strong of a word . . . Brady and his photographers were known to re-arrange things to get a good photo, but the picture does show a dead soldier killed at Gettysburg during the battle.ReplyDelete
The point being that the impression given in the photo that the man fell where he is photographed and the reality of the situation are completely different. What is awfully sad is that the photographer just carried this dead guy around to suit his photographic needs. Show some respect for the dead, CSA or not.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry, fake is a strong word, STAGED should have been the word I used. It still was taken on the battlefield days later and that is a dead CSA Soldier killed at Little Round Top.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the correction

Comments about Slime Skabs Pre-glued Patch Kit:
What a disappointment. The levers that come with these patches are the worst I've used in my 40+ years of cycling and the patches failed to hold. Had I not had some of the Nashbar glueless patches as well I would have been stranded on the side of the road.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

worked for me
By LadyWrench
from Columbus OH
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Have bought these twice. 1st time just got the skabs; 2nd time there were levers included. Really like the levers (better than the ones I had). Got a flat while out on the road. Used 100 grit sandpaper to prep the tube, wiped it clean then applied patch. Love the self adhesive feature. Done ~ 50-60 miles on it so far (bike paths,city streets & country roads) no problems with excessive air loss. 27x1 1/4 tire, 70PSI
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We've used this product for a 190 mile bike tour with students - we've used them on LOTS of flats. WE LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Follow the directions and you're good to go.
Good as a LAST resort
By Larry
from Santa Ana, CA
Keep a pack in the bottom of your bag in case you forget to have a fresh tube of glue for your real patches or a spare tube. These usually get me home but need to be replaced with real patches right away.

Get the real thing...
By Rolling Rich
from Atlanta, GA
I have tried these several times on my road bike. They simply do not work. The glue generally did hold, but once inflated, the patch itself ruptures directly over the original leak. These might be effective on a mountain bike or other tubes with lower pressures, but are definitely a waste of time on a tire with 100+ PSI in it. I highly recommend going with a real patch kit (with glue).

Quick & Easy
By Longwheelbase
from Knoxville
Needed to use one of these patches on a recent ride. Quick and easy and patched tire holds air as well as it ever did. Not sure what was wrong with the few folks I saw complaining about these not working. Scuff the rubber up, peel backing and apply and it works!
Not so Good!
By Filbert
from Albuquerque, NM
I would not buy this product again. The patches do not stick no matter if the tube is cleaned/roughed up. Patches pop when tube is inflated.

Does its job
By RTDub
from Colorado
When used correctly, these patches will save you money on tubes. Easy to apply, just be sure to keep the area around the puncture free of grit before applying and the tube is as good as new.
Doesn't hold.
By KSmith
from Royal Oak, MI
I went through a pack of these trying to fix flats on the road, and repair tubes at home. Every single one was a dud. This is the only patch kit I've every had problems with. Maybe they work better for mountain bikes, I dunno.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

text: I have a bottle of homemade vinegar, cultured off a wine pressing that went wrong. Diarmaid and I used most of it educating fighters and Boy Scouts about the joys of oxymel, and kept back about a liter for cooking and medicinal purposes. We put it in a bottle, fed it the remains of any bottle of wine we didn't finish, and eventually it developed a "mother", and has been happily working every since - about 6-7 years now. As we use the vinegar, we refill the bottle with wine and let the "mother" it do its thing. The "mother" is kind of hard to describe - It's a living organism. I think its a particular kind of fungus. There are places online where you can buy vinegar-making kits. There's a good article on homemade vinegar at: http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/the-virtue-of-homemade-vinegar It's absurdly simple to make and keep up, and better that the stuff in the stores.

Policy briefs
- College urges support of sickle cell treatment bill
- College endorses national electronic infrastructure conference
College urges support of sickle cell treatment bill
The College is urging Congress to support a bill that would increase treatment options for sickle cell disease, which disproportionately affects patients in minority populations.
The Sickle Cell Treatment Act of 2003 (S. 874, H.R. 1736) would establish a research center charged with sharing information nationally about the disease and monitoring services provided to patients. The bill would provide states with federal matching funds under Medicaid for medical and nonmedical services related to sickle cell disease, including genetic counseling.
The College sent a letter endorsing the bill on April 9 to Sen. Jim Talent (R-Mo.) and Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.), the bills' sponsors in the Senate and the House. In the letter, then College President Munsey S. Wheby, MACP, pointed out that the bill supports College advocacy for flexibility and innovation in public programs, including Medicaid. (See letters online.)
College endorses national electronic infrastructure conference
ACP has given its formal endorsement to the second annual National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) conference, which will be held in Washington July 20-23.
This year's conference, "NHII 04: Cornerstones for Electronic Healthcare," will bring together participants from all sectors interested in establishing a national health care electronic infrastructure, including physicians, payers, employers and patients. One of the goals of this year's conference is to map out an agenda for achieving a national information infrastructure within seven to 10 years.
More information on the conference is online.

iTunes Will Finally Let You Gift An iBook
Apple has added the ability to gift iBooks through its iTunes Store. Until now, the iBookstore was the only section of iTunes that did not support gifting. Here's how it works.
Apple has added the ability to gift iBooks through its iTunes Store. Until now, the iBookstore was the only section of iTunes that did not support gifting. Here's how it works.
Apple has clashed with comic creators over its decision to ban Matt Fraction and artist Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals from selling on the iOS version of Comixology. The title, published by Image Comics, tells the story of two people whose orgasms give them the power to stop time (!).
Somewhat confusingly, at time of writing Apple was still selling the comic via its iBooks storefront.
While Apple decided to hold out for a court battle — that it eventually lost — five of the publishers involved in the iBookStore price fixing antitrust case have already reached settlements with the DOJ. Two of those publishers, Penguin and Macmillan, are already sending out emails to customers to notify them that they're eligible to receive iTunes credit, or a check for the settlement.
The final season of Breaking Bad begins tonight on AMC, and if you're like me, you can't get enough of the show. Fans like myself need to check out Breaking Bad: Alchemy, an awesome book from the show's creators. It was my pick on Faves n' Raves during the last CultCast.
The ongoing iBooks antitrust case between Apple and the United States Department of Justice took a very interesting twist this morning when the DoJ and 33 state Attorneys General laid out plans to remedy Apple's wrongdoings and restore competition to the market.
The DoJ wants Apple to terminate all of its deals with book publishers, and refrain from entering into any new ones for at least five years. It also wants the company to start selling e-books from rivals like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Apple was found guilty of e-book price fixing by federal judge Denise Cote earlier this month, and it looks like the total bill for colluding with book publishers for the launch of the iBookstore will be pretty steep.
The five publishers in the case – Hachette, Penguin, Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster – have already paid out $166 million, according to figures obtained by GigaOm. Based on the settlement payments publishers have already shelled out, it looks like Apple might have to pay $500 million to the states and class action lawyers in the case.
Following a lengthy trial, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote has today ruled that Apple conspired to raise the price of e-books. Another trial for damages will follow at a later date, Reuters reports.
Eddy Cue is at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse in lower Manhattan testifying in the Department of Justice's e-books antitrust case, and he's been sharing more information on the work that went into developing iBooks prior to its launch in 2010.
Cue reveled that Steve Jobs, then Apple's CEO, chose to give away a free copy of Winnie-the-Pooh not just because he liked the book, but because its colorful illustrations showcased the capabilities of digital e-books in the iBooks app.
During Apple's trial against the U.S. Department of Justice it was revealed that Apple now controls about 20 percent of the U.S. ebook market, thanks the growth of Apple's iBookstore.
The news came during director Keith Moerer's testimony in court on Tuesday. Moerer was called as a government witness in the U.S. vs Apple case where Apple stand accused of working with publishers to fix the price of ebooks when the iBookstore launched in 2010.
Penguin announced this morning that the company has reached an agreement with the US State Attorneys General to pay $75 million as a settlement for the eBook price fixing claims that have been launched against Apple's iBookstore.
US authorities have called Apple out for collusion with electronic book publishers, saying that the Cupertino-based company conspired with publishers to raise eBook prices when negotiating iBooks by playing them all against each other and against rival eBook retailer, Amazon.
Here's Penguin's official statement on the settlement:

Anywhere/Somewhere Lyrics - The Unseen Guest
And the road runs through
From your left eye to your right
Straight as an arrow,
Till it runs out of sight,
And built like a level
In a video game
Not a road rises to meet you
Not a door calls your name
When the train runs through
There's a rattling sound
Like a cast-iron snake
Slipping over the ground
And the only light that shines
Is the hotel's neon sign
Take me anywhere that's somewhere, where there's noises and lights
That would be some kind of relief
Take me anywhere that's somewhere
Where there's no straight lines
Cause the silence is deafening me.
Every Friday night
The paychecks come out
And the quiet is broken
And the music gets loud
And the room starts to shake
As the voices swell
And just for an hour
The night is dispelled
And outside the highway sleeps
And the dawn is beginning to creep.
Anywhere/Somewhere ©2004 Declan Murray / Amith Narayan

Judge: Apple not liable for dropped, broken iPhone screens
Re: Hell no, don't stop using glass!
Zedsquared, that's the problem right there, whilst the marketing material might say it's 30 times harder the OP has reinterpreted that to mean tougher and added his own words in to the marketing statement.
That shows how easy it is to mislead people with the truth.
The marketing also says it's "ultradurable" which means fuck all in the real world, it's not a quantifiable statement like the hardness one.
Re: Frackin MORON JUDGE!
"Actually, he said it was 30x harder than plastic, not stronger, but never let the facts get in the way of a good rant, eh?"
Completely OT, but did he really say it to mean that?
Is that really a selling point unless you plan to use the thing to engrave something, or maybe as a drill bit?
Did he say where it appears on Mohs scale? Presumably around 6/7.
Just wondering what purpose a "harder" phone actually serves.
Presumably that you'll only be able to scratch it with harder materials.
That probably is it thinking about it, a typical marketing thing, say something which whilst accurate is going to be misinterpreted by pretty much everyone and isn't necessarily what a lot of people want.
Apple do marketing well.
I'd prefer durability to hardness, but it wouldn't be good marketing to say it's vastly less durable than this cheaper (albeit not as hard) plastic product.

Organic food offers basically no health benefit, boffins find
Thanks JDX
I hadn't made the link between local/organic before. It's good to know.
I do buy some organic stuff simply because it tastes nicer, like tomatoes that actually have a flavour instead of tasting of water, but I'll not go out of my way to avoid GM or non-organic farming methods.
I also recognise that something that is listed as "organic" could also be GM, but I've no problem with that really, given the quantity of testing that's done (if the fucking hippies don't destroy the test fields)
I've actually thought the opposite was true about the length of time organic foods last, I think they don't last as long, but generally the stuff is all eaten before stuff goes off and there's not much waste in my house anyway.
Torvalds bellows: 'The GNOME PEOPLE are in TOTAL DENIAL'
Re: Desktops
I agree with you, up until the point you talk about politics and then I begin to shudder.
Unfortunately choices between things that are ultimately crap are sometimes less appealing than not having a choice at all and having something that works.
On the other hand though no choice at all could be considered a parallel for the political situation in North Korea and having several crap choices would be akin to the UK, I know I'd prefer to be born in the UK, at least then I have the choice to leave...

'IT is no place for the little ladies', says Dell mouthpiece
Re: Shirley not
I'm not going to disagree, but I've only worked with 2 or 3 women who actually do anything related to IT, one's a great linux admin, one does a first rate job as a support analyst and one works leading our testing. The trouble is, they're the exception rather than the rule, all the other women I've worked with and known just don't want to get involved in the technical and it's far easier for them to get administrative jobs, or even easier sales & marketing.
I don't know whether that's as a result of the existing male dominance or whether it's as a result of female predisposition to those sorts of roles.
For the same reason I don't know whether little girls are predispositioned to like pink and hence there are vast numbers of pink products marketed to little girls, or do little girls like pink because everything marketed towards them is pink.

Nokia's fontastic Pure wins 'design Oscar'
Re: It's a font...
@Ragarath that's a seriously good spot. I had not noticed until you pointed that out.
Your comment is rendered in a font where it's actually impossible to see the difference, there is a slight difference in this new font, but you have to look closely, which kind of breaks it in my opinion.
It also makes a mockery of Magnus_Pym and his comment about specific characters being visibly different.

Council to chuck £28m wad at schools' ICT supplier
Re: Er, iPads?
Hey Micky (you're so fine), I understand that not all special needs kids are clumsy careless people. However some kids with violent behaviour disorders will not treat anything with respect, and you're proposing it's a better idea to give them a £400 iPad than to give them a ruggedized tablet.
I think it's a bad idea to give any kids that sort of equipment, whether they're in a wheelchair, on crutches, are in a coma or totally hyperactive.
I was a kid once too.
So no I'm not insinuating that ALL special needs kids are clumsy careless people, just that some of them aren't going to respect anything they're given.
You also seem to be suggesting that IT folks shouldn't have an opinion on what IT equipment should be used in a given situation.
You know that a lot of IT folks have experience of gathering a set of requirements and making a recommendation based on those requirements right? And that those IT folks will have a far broader knowledge of available technology than that of the average "skilled professional" (or case worker)
Re: Er, iPads?
Further to the other comment about "why iPads?", wouldn't kids in schools and in particular Special Needs kids actually be better off with something a bit more rugged? I'm pretty sure that nothing about the iPad is actually unique apart from maybe the price.
Also I'm not a huge fan of the whole locked in OS thing, in my opinion the Apple strategy is worse for the consumer than the whole MS strategy, at least when you bought a PC with a MS OS installed you could still get support for the hardware in the event you replace the OS.

Re: imagine if they had been....
We probably would not have heard about the story unless maybe we lived in Asia and they reported it in the Asian press, never having been there I assume they have newspapers and the like.
I'm not sure why you'd expect to hear about incidents involving Americans and Asians in the European press?
Similarly, I had a friend who mentioned that during the reporting of the Costa Concordia incident that the numbers breakdown mentioned Spanish, British, Italians etc. the rest of them were apparently Asian.
I would expect the Asian press to break it down similarly, so there were Chinese, Korean, Indian etc., the rest were from somewhere else.
I think you may be a British with Asian origins or an Asian living in Britain who's a bit disgruntled about the lack of Asian reporting, don't take it so personally, it's just a different part of the world.
Facebook IPO: Boom or bubble?
The money is real
The money comes from the purchase of virtual items with real money.
Zynga is a top provider of freemium games. If you're not sure what freemium is then google will help.
I'm not entirely sure that their valuation is based entirely on genuine currency though.
Zynga valued at roughly $7bn, from what I can gather FB take a 30% cut (the Apple model) of transactions made on the site, so 30% of what Zynga makes is 12% of what FB makes.
If you go with the simplest of maths and use some poor logic still favouring facebook two and a half times the valuation of Zynga, roughly a fifth of the $100bn valuation.
I don't trade, but I have been on facebook and got bored of Zynga games so I find it interesting that they come up with these astronomical numbers.
I'm guessing the rest of the revenue comes from other freemium games, advertising and probably some "goodwill" which from what I can gather is a proper "virtual money"

What happens to the cash given to ICANN then? Presumably a hefty amount of "skimming" and maybe a chunk goes to the people it's intended for, presumably those running the DNS servers?
If I was looking after those DNS servers I'd be thinking - "Where's my chunk?"

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
I am honored to join The Ohio State University today with the privilege of serving as the university's 15th president. In the wider world of higher education, Ohio State is the place to be, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with and learn from you.
From the moment Brenda and I were first introduced to the Ohio State community in January, we have been welcomed with open arms. Thank you to all the individuals who marked our Ohio State beginning with smiles and Buckeye spirit. We immediately felt connected to this university and the remarkable work being done here. Whether it is participating in a bike ride to raise funds for cancer research or celebrating a technology-savvy marching band, we easily envisioned ourselves immersed in the university community and the city of Columbus.
A strong commitment to developing new ideas and solutions that elevate society is at Ohio State's core. I wholeheartedly believe in this commitment, embodied by the university's land-grant mission. Ohio State's impact extends throughout the state, the country and the world. I look forward to seeing that impact firsthand as it continues to provide opportunity and improve the quality of life.
The Ohio State University is an institution unlike any other. The university acknowledges respected traditions while maintaining a steadfast vision for the future. It is rich with both achievement and possibility, creating an atmosphere of excellence in education, research and stewardship. For these and many other reasons, Brenda and I are truly excited to call Ohio State home!
