What's a poor gorilla to do when he can't ship his bananas? uShip to the rescue!
On a Friday afternoon several months ago, teams of competing uShippers produced video skits and parodies with one goal — to crack people up (and explain why uShip is awesome). Ideas included golden parodies of "When Harry Met Sally," "American Beauty," "Silence of the Lambs," a few music videos, and others that are just plain wrong and will never be suitable for public viewing.
This, however, is one of the clear winners.

The Great Gatsby Blu-ray Review
Would you believe The Middling Gatsby?
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, April 24, 2013
Will five be the charm for The Great Gatsby? F. Scott Fitzgerald's immortal story, which is regularly placed atop any list of the supposed "Great American Novel", has had four (large and small) screen adaptations through the years, and is about to experience its fifth with the high profile Baz Luhrmann adaptation which is set to open momentarily. Few are probably that familiar with the first adaptation, a 1926 silent starring Warner Baxter and and Lois Wilson, which is considered a "lost film". In 1949 Paramount put out a fatally miscast version, with Alan Ladd (replacing Tyrone Power, who arguably would have been better) as Jay Gatsby and Betty Field as Daisy Buchanan. Seemingly divorced from Fitzgerald's vaunted Jazz Age timeframe and retaining little of the novel's doleful flavor, this Gatsby was a big, glossy ultra-Hollywood entertainment that was kind of like experiencing Fitzgerald through a prophylactic. The film industry was certainly a different animal some twenty-five years later, when Paramount again decided to tackle The Great Gatsby, after a long gestational period that had actually begun several years previously when Paramount's then head honcho Robert Evans optioned the rights to the book as a starring vehicle for his then wife Ali MacGraw. A number of different stars came and went in the intervening years, but things seemed to be significantly better cast, at least on paper, when Robert Redford and Mia Farrow were finally announced as the leads. While eyebrows may have been raised by the writing credit afforded to Francis Ford Coppola (as well as allegedly early uncredited work by Truman Capote), cynics' tongues may have simultaneously been wagging over the producing credit, the legendary (and legendarily difficult) Broadway impresario David Merrick. Merrick had one of the most lustrous producing careers in the entire history of The Great White Way (flops like his infamously disastrous musicalization of Breakfast at Tiffany's notwithstanding), but as a film producer he was never able to recapture that stage magic. In 1972 he had produced the film version of one of his recent stage successes, the interesting psychological thriller Child's Play, but Merrick probably had neither the experience nor the expertise to really adequately manage a production as large as The Great Gatsby promised to be. Merrick did have the public relations hubris to make his Gatsby one of the most publicized films of its year, with tons of cover stories on various magazines (including one of the first issues of the then-new People). And while it's certainly arguable that the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby is much more faithful (some might even say reverent) to the tone and substance of Fitzgerald's original work, the film is often listless and uninvolving, and for all its splendor is often like experiencing Fitzgerald through two prophylactics.
It was F. Scott Fitzgerald's great achievement in The Great Gatsby that he was able to craft what on its surface seems like a story of unrequited love, but which is in fact a rather scathing assessment of an entire era. Most people probably know the broad outlines of the novel. Jay Gatsby (Robert Redford) is a mysterious millionaire whose Long Island parties in the early 1920s are legend, as in fact are stories about his perhaps criminal ties which helped him to achieve his millions. Gatsby is an elusive, enigmatic individual whom no one really seems to know, which becomes ironic when Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), the character who narrates Fitzgerald's novel and this film, finally gets invited to one of Gatsby's parties and it turns out the two served together in World War I. Nick's second cousin Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow) also lives on Long Island and is married to a brute named Tom (Bruce Dern), a man who comes from "old money" but has few social graces to match his wealth. Tom is involved in a tempestuous affair with Myrtle Wilson (Karen Black), something that he doesn't work very hard to keep hidden from Daisy. As the story progresses, it turns out that Gatsby and Daisy have a history together and that in fact Gatsby's arrival in Long Island is no mere coincidence, and his goal is to rekindle their long ago romance.
This hopelessly brief précis only barely scratches the surface of the story's convoluted plot and in fact leaves out at least two major supporting characters (Myrtle's hapless husband George and Nick's kind of girlfriend Jordan), but it provides enough context to get to one of Fitzgerald's major points in his piece: no one is exactly who they seem to be. While all of the major characters have their own identity issues, none is more obvious than Gatsby himself, a man who has literally remade himself in order to recapture a lost love. There's an unstated desperation about Gatsby which Redford deals with in an understated manner, one which plays relatively well against some of the more florid representations of Black as Myrtle and Dern as Tom. But Redord really provides little interior life to this iconic cipher, making that desperation seem uninvolving and even mundane. And while Farrow has a certain patrician grace as Daisy, there's a waifish quality to her portrayal that becomes slightly annoying after awhile, especially since Daisy's marriage is such a rocky relationship. There's also a rather surprising lack of romantic chemistry between the two stars, something that is pretty fatal to a story about a tragic love affair.
With a certain vacuity at the center of the film, that leaves things like the supporting performances, production design and other technical aspects to pick up the slack, and it's here that this Gatsby does quite nicely. As vapid as the central Jay-Daisy relationship is at times, there's a real visceral intensity to the performances of Black and Dern, and Waterston brings his quiet intelligence to the most "decent" of all the characters in the film. The production design of the film is virtually flawless, with Oscar winning costumes by longtime Broadway designer Theoni V. Aldredge which perfectly recreate their era (even if they failed to create a "fashion rage" despite Merrick's nonstop publicity to make the "Gatsby look" the new haute couture in 1974). Nelson Riddle won the film's only other Oscar for his adaptation score, one which frankly might have been a "career award" to an iconic figure. But Riddle's contributions are quite lovely, nicely interweaving vintage source cues (including some gorgeously orchestrated versions of "What'll I Do?") with some original underscore.
In a way, though, the film's emphasis on looks rather than substance is at its core one of the most salient points that Fitzgerald himself sought to make. The Great Gatsby is a story of assimiliation, some artful, some hopeful, but mostly misguided (as evidenced by Nick's decisions at the end of the novel if not the film), but all of which is geared toward appearances, not necessarily any inherent truth or reality. The plot's tip towards melodrama in its final act has always struck some literary critics as perhaps the weakest element of the story, but it only serves to point out the shallowness of some of the characters. In fact, when one major character finally finds his true depth, he literally finds himself in over his head.
The Great Gatsby Blu-ray, Video Quality
The Great Gatsby is presented on Blu-ray with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. Director Jack Clayton and cinematographer Douglas Slocombe favor a lot of diffuse light and even occasional soft focus lenses throughout this film, which some may mistake for a so-called "soft" looking transfer. This is actually a lustrously beautiful high definition presentation that very ably recreates the original film appearance. Grain is still very much in evidence, and fine detail is abundant, helped immeasurably by Clayton's favoring of extreme close-ups throughout the film. Colors are very accurate looking (it's such a pleasure to watch a film that hasn't been color graded to within an inch of its life) and very well saturated. There are some very minor stability issues which are almost not worth mentioning on fast passing patterns like car grilles.
The Great Gatsby Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The Great Gatsby features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that doesn't over aggressively repurpose things for a surround mix, and in fact plays things relatively conservatively. I was in fact kind of surprised in the opening credits how the "ghost music" was anchored in the front channels rather than being discretely splayed through the surrounds. Later, however, in the first of the big party scenes, Riddle's source cues are clearly pumping out of the rear channels while the party sounds emanate from the front and side channels, giving a nice sense of aural depth. Dialogue is almost always front and center, but is clear and easy to hear and uniformly well prioritized in the mix. Fidelity is excellent and dynamic range has a few spikes in the more crowded sequences.
The Great Gatsby Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
No supplements are offered on this Blu-ray disc.
The Great Gatsby Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Fitzgerald cloaked his social criticism in the story of a handful of desperate characters on Long Island one fetid summer in the early 1920s, but he indicted the entire Jazz Age for its indolence and self absorption at the same time. Perhaps none too ironically, this film adaptation is equally indolent and self absorbed, lacking any real dramatic momentum (the film is at least a half hour too long, perhaps even more than that) and ultimately being a pretty bauble that is fairly empty at its center. Jack Clayton has an impeccable eye for place and time, but he's lost at sea when it comes to pacing. It's going to be interesting to see what the always colorful Luhrmann does with this material. One thing's for sure, it's pretty much guaranteed to have more energy than this lumbering albeit beautiful dinosaur.

Bells and whistles elevate firehouse fare
By Tom Sietsema
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
The fire pole hole at 438 Massachusetts Ave. NW is plated over with nickel.
Hoping to salute their building's past without resorting to cliches, however, the five guys behind Sixth Engine kept the exposed brick walls, soaring windows and rafters of the historic fire station that preceded their new restaurant in Mount Vernon Square.
Co-owner Jeremy Carman even managed to sneak in a personal effect: the dog running alongside a ruddy firefighter in the Norman Rockwell-esque painting on the loftlike second floor. Turns out the canine is the restaurateur's lab-hound mix, Trudy.
Sixth Engine's menu, from chef and co-owner Paul Madrid, takes a pleasant detour from standard-issue neighborhood American restaurant cooking. While diners will find a cheese plate and a cheeseburger, those staples are joined by lamb shank ravioli dappled with minty gremolata butter and grilled shrimp poised on orzo and a pool of Parmesan sauce. As for starters, a hedge of bright green broccoli festooned with grated cheddar and minced red onion and bacon is straight out of a Midwestern potluck party, but also easy to dispatch.
Four of the owners share a stake in Town Hall, a watering hole in Glover Park with the slogan "gulp, gather, grub." But the 100 or so-seat Sixth Engine was designed to be "more restaurant-forward," explains Carman. Indeed, some of the fancier plates in the new venue, which starts with a front patio and handsome blue bar, best the more familiar. (A hoagie stuffed with pork shoulder showed up desert-dry.)
The entree I'm most eager to try again partners red snapper with snappy andouille risotto and crisp, sweet corn. The fish gets some nice heat from a splash of chili-infused butter, but the fire is nothing a draught Guinness or Pimm's Cup can't put out.
The first-floor bar feels preppy with its mix of exposed brick and deep blue walls, a white tile floor and lots of dark wood. It gets crowded on a Friday night, but it's easy for people to spill over into the large booths in the dining room behind the bar area.
Run by the guys behind the Dubliner and Glover Park's Town Hall, this is a tavern that caters to a slightly older crowd — one willing to pay a little more for a draft beer from Sixpoint or Ommegang (most beers are about $7 to $9), or a well-made cocktail. At just over $12 each, the cocktails are priced to compete with Buddha Bar across the street, and they're pretty good: The Jalisco Razor Blade, a sharp mix of tequila, cayenne pepper and house-made agave syrup, and the sweet, full-bodied Road Runner (rye whiskey, applejack, elderflower liqueur, sweet vermouth and bitters) are the highlights.
In coming weeks, look for the kickoff of the "Locals and Lights" happy hour, with $3 light beers, $4 DC Brau and Lost Rhino pints, and $5 wines by the glass, which, unlike the other offerings, are neither local nor light.
-- Fritz Hahn (Feb. 22, 2012)
After very slow service, flat Diet Cokes which were replaced twice and a pretty bad and pretty expensive hamburger, the bill came and we were charged for the Cokes that were flat. The server said that she was told to charge for them, but if I wanted she could take them off the bill. I can get the hint. Lots of other restaurants that actually want my business.

This past weekend we hosted a large group of blog experts for a retreat at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. Family Forward was the host organization and Zion Ponderosa simply provided the backdrop, lodging, and extracurricular activities.
General Manager Michael Kane did have one big surprise up his sleeve, as he brought in some helicopters from Upper Limit Aviation out of Cedar City to provide some short helicopter rides for the Family Forward guests.
Watch this video and enjoy some of the photographs posted on our Facebook page – here.
This is the retreat provided by the Family Forward organization, and this is the big event they'll be hosting this fall with us.

Ayrise, sponsors refers to a resident within the clubhouse if you are not a resident yourself... so how you will contact them would depend sa kung sino ang kakilala mo na resident sa chosen venue mo... kung wala kang kakilala, you may ask within your circle of friends kung may kakilala sila para ma-introduce ka nila... or, sure ball na makakatulong sa iyo eh either party planner or catering service provider... meron palang magandang garden set up sa loob ng filinvest.. sa tapat mismo ng clubhouse... as for your last question on parang sobrang mahal... ano ang nire-refer mong mahal? can't see a post na possible na ni-reply-an mo eh.
ang mura lang pala sa Blue Ridge.. kaya lang i need your opinion.. ok lang ba na mura kahit medyo hassle on how to get there?

Professional quality 2.5m 3 section multi purpose ladder with box section twist proof rungs enabling double sided use and enhancing safety, adapts to four different modes double sided step ladder, extension ladder, extended step ladder and stairway step ladder.
"Looked at the 2m and 3m. 3m to big for stairwell and a bit to heavy for 1 person (I am 5ft 6 and in my 50's). 2m just didn't seem tall enough so opted for the 2.5m. Glad I did, just right for stairwell but also big enough for me to easily get onto my conservatory roof with. As I think I have read when I looked at reviews for this item, the instructions are a bit pants but after a few minutes common sense and the pictures on the side of the ladder get you there. One thing that did get on my pip was the dirt that you get on your hands after handling them, a mixture of alloy and oil/grease. I was painting walls all white so every time I moved the ladder had to was the old hands, just to stop dirt transfer to wall. However, TIP TOP LADDERS AND WORTH THE MONEY. GLAD I BOUGHT THEM. xx Delivery was swift."
"Nice ladder used to paint stairwell and pick apples from tree. Did both jobs well. Nice and light, packs away neatly."
"This combination ladder was delivered next day as specified. This product is well made, sturdy and is stable in use. The extension step ladder function is the main reason for purchase. I have been able to hand pick all the apples on my old large tree without damaging any branches. The ladder is quite heavy and can be difficult to manoeuvre in tight spaces. However, this weight and wide stance gives security in use which is important for safety. I was even able to find a stable position on uneven ground. I will be able to make good use of this versatile ladder."

'Cut number of cleaners' to keep Singapore clean
Move will make people think twice before messing up public areas
Published on Jun 11, 2013 6:27 AM
IT IS a suggestion that sounds perverse: keeping Singapore clean by cutting the number of cleaners here and cleaning up after Singaporeans less regularly.
But the head of the Keep Singapore Clean Movement Liak Teng Lit is convinced that this is what needs to done to make people think twice before they litter or leave a mess in public areas.
The Government is cleaning Singapore so efficiently that people are conditioned to behave badly, he told The Straits Times, ahead of the Keep Singapore Clean conference on June 29.
"We rely too much on cleaners. It is because they are cleaning so much that people don't even feel it when they litter.

Homemade Tortillas Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-12 times, adding a little flour or water if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle.
- In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook tortillas over medium heat for 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned. Keep warm. Yield: 8 tortillas.
Reviews for Homemade Tortillas
Sort By :
"I ran out of tortilla today at dinner. So I made some of these. What a hit. My son asked me to make more and my husband loved them as well. Thank you"
"this recipe is terrible. it was sticky and doughy and had no flavor at all. don't waste your time."
"Made these a couple of times, with varying results. My personal tips are: Using hot water at the start helps. I did not find any need to add any other ingredients to what is listed. If you don't have a large work surface, just knead the dough in the mixing bowl and it saves on making any mess at all.Don't underestimate the 'keep warm' instruction in the recipe. They will dry out quickly and go hard, so cover them in some foil, and the trapped steam will make them soft and perfect for wraps. If you cook them on a heat that isn't high enough, they will dry out while cooking and become hard, so cook them hot and fast."
"I would like to make them, like my mom use to, and most of the ingredients are correct, except my mom used baking powder and they turned out perfect. Her dough was alittle sticky, but she would use more flour on the dough when rolling and flour the rolling pin. also, when she gave us a super treat, she would use the dough rolled out and place in some hot oil, and turn it over, till crisp and then onto paper towels and sprinkle cinnamon/sugar both sides, so awesome. You encouraged me to try making tortillas again. Thanks"
"I'd never made tortillas before, but I often make chapatis, which follow a similar recipe, so I already had an idea of what it would entail.I made a double batch and modified the recipe slightly, I used gluten-free flour and added 2tsp xanthan gum(1tsp per batch as a gluten replacer), I also substituted half of the olive oil with coconut oil and replaced a quarter of the flour with buckwheat flour, I also added 1tsp of baking soda and used hot water(amongst other things this melted the coconut oil, which is often solid at room temp). Even with all of these modifications to the recipe the tortillas were soft, had a nice texture and tasted great. However, there are a few things not mentioned in the recipe that are worth noting. Firstly the dough is slightly sticky(at least it was for me, but I did have to add a little extra water as it was too dry at first) so you need to make sure that your rolling pin and board are well dusted with flour and to remember to re-apply the dusting of flour regularly, also it's important not to press too hard when rolling a soft dough like this, otherwise it sticks regardless. I found that while rolling it helped to flip the tortilla after every roll or two, often re-applying a light dusting of flour in the process to prevent sticking, they seemed to turn out rounder and more consistent this way. It's also worth noting that you can't pre-roll and stack the uncooked tortillas as they will obviously stick together, so I found that rolling one out while the last one cooked was a good method. I also used the oven timer to time the 1 minute required on each side, which made it easier to get them consistent. It's also worth noting that they fill up with steam while cooking and this dissipates as they cool, so if you start piling the cooked tortillas up, the steam gets trapped and they can go a little soggy, so put them on some paper towel and give them space to breathe.A great recipe, and I will definitely be using it frequently for the foreseeable future."

Chris Grayling has defended his plans to privatise the bulk of probation services, insisting difficult offenders will not be ignored after the move.
Probation officers' union Napo said the move would create chaos and "compromise public protection", while Chief Inspector of Probation Liz Calderbank expressed fears that plans to pay the private companies by results would mean it would be difficult to deal with "damaged" individuals.
But the Justice Secretary said private providers would have a "duty" to abide by orders from the court.
Speaking to the Today programme, he added: "We've got to price it carefully to make sure the most difficult offenders aren't dumped in a corner."
Labour has accused the Government of not properly assessing the evidence of the policy before pushing ahead with it after the Government cancelled two pilots of similar programmes.
But in a statement in the Commons this afternoon, Mr Grayling argued the last administration had been wrongly "obsessed" with testing policies before implementing them.
"The last Government was obsessed with pilots. Sometimes you just have to believe in something and do it," he said.
Labour MP Graham Allen, chair of the Early Intervention Foundation, also lent his backing to the scheme, saying any moves aimed at integrating former offenders into society were to be welcomed.

The Value of Ideas - Update
Oct 24, 2012
General Nonsense
An attractive young woman went out for a long run. She picked her route carefully, avoiding sketchy neighborhoods. But despite her best precautions, she could never feel completely safe in New York City, miles from her apartment, especially after dark.
Her 110 pound frame sliced through the night leaving nothing but the sound of her running shoes on the pavement. If necessary, she knew she could outrun almost any pursuit that came on foot. Assailants generally give up before the twenty-mile mark. It bothered her that she even had to have such thoughts. She kicked it up a notch.
Parked cars and lamp posts whizzed by. She thought she saw something that looked out of place, but it was just a rogue napkin blown by the wind. Settle down, she told herself. Don't be concerned about random motion in the night. Keep running. Get your miles. It's the only way you can sleep tonight.
She could see the shadowy outlines of three young males in the distance. They didn't look like trouble, necessarily, but she crossed the street anyway and planned her escape routes just in case. One of the men said something and the other two laughed. It sounded as if a comment had been directed at her. She kept her head down and put the three men in her past.
As she crossed the five-mile mark, she couldn't help wondering what would happen if someone with evil intent grabbed her. How long would it be until her husband knew she was in trouble? How long does an adult have to be missing before the police take it seriously?
She had her smartphone with her, but who has time to dial a number and make an emergency call during an attack? It takes time to get to your phone. Then you have to concentrate to get to the right mode. Are you wearing gloves? If you get the gloves off, do you have time to dial 911, explain your situation, and give your location?
She had these thoughts every time she ran, which was nearly every day. And she knew that others must sometimes feel the same way. There are some environments that feel unsafe no matter what precautions you take. As she ran, she tried to work out a solution. What she needed was a quick way to activate her phone in an emergency. And once activated, it needed to call for help automatically and give her location. But how?
At this point in the story you need to know that the runner's father is an electrical engineer living in California. The runner and her dad talked about the problem and brainstormed a variety of solutions. The best of the ideas turned into a patent application, a prototype, and now a business that just launched. The product is called
It's a ring that pairs with your Android phone (iPhone version will follow) via Bluetooth. If you're out by yourself, and you encounter trouble, just press the button on the ring to send an emergency text message via your phone to whoever you pre-designate. The text message will say you're in trouble and it will give your GPS coordinates. Obviously that won't stop an attack in progress, but at least you'll know help is on the way, and the help will have a good idea where to find you.
To me, the interesting part of this story is how two people starting with nothing but an idea can form a company that designs, manufactures, and markets a consumer product. I'm fascinated by the fact that none of the components of the business are physically in the same place. Most of it was outsourced by contract.

This sort of everywhere-at-once company structure would have been impractical ten years ago. In the old days, ideas were worthless and implementation was everything. We're entering a phase where implementation is a commodity that is universally available at a reasonable price. The real value is shifting to the quality of ideas. It's not a complete shift - someone still has to coordinate all of the disparate parts - but you can see the trend: If your idea kicks ass, and you have access to the Internet, you have the entire world to help with implementation. You can even crowdsource part of the funding, as the runner and her father did.
Along these same lines, a few weeks ago I teased you by saying I had a valuable idea I would try to "sell" to a venture capitalist - for someone else to implement - just to test my hypothesis that even unpatented ideas are beginning to have economic value. I can report to you today that the result of my experiment is a qualified success. I was able to find a highly capable investor willing to form a company around my idea and grant me an equity position in return for my contribution, which will be mostly around defining the idea in more detail. That's not quite "selling" an idea, and there is a lot of distance between deciding to form a company and actually creating something of value. I'll also end up doing some actual work, but that should be manageable. (My idea will need to stay secret for now. Sorry!)
Implementation will always be important, but the shift to an ideas-based economy is underway.
The runner and her dad are friends of mine and I have an interest in the company's success. The opening story has some literary flourishes but it's accurate in a "based on a true story" way.

I think its more likely that nation master used different criteria. According to Nationmaster their data is pretty current, and even if it wasn't its showing the rate of rape is more than twice the US rate. How many years does it take to go from 100% higher to roughly 5% higher?
Have since tried to look up crime comparison statistics from other websites. Conclusion: its all over the place. Figuring out which one of these sites is definitive is more work than Im willing to put into it.

I think the nation master statistics were old - according to the most recent here:
the UK is doing marginally better in 2009 and marginally worse than the US in 2010. So there is not a lot in it.

I got those numbers from the website you provided. By comparing the assault and rape statistics for the US and the UK. You say it doesn't make sense that guns would account for our lower rate of rape. Maybe, but I also used that site to compare the US to a lot of other rich countries and Japan was the only one with fewer rapes and assaults, so SOMETHING is keeping crime low over here. And I don't know that I want to believe its not guns, because the alternative that comes to mind is that we yanks are the second best people on the planet.
So by all means provide another alternative explanation.

I don't want to prolong this thread but would point out that most rapes are not carried out by strangers but by people known to the victims. This is certainly borne out by any victims of such that I know. Carrying guns is unlikely to help in those !$%*!$%*!$%*! (it certainly would not have helped the victims I have known). Also, I am not quite sure where 'for every firearm murder we prevent 75 rapes and 500 assaults' comes from but I think we can assume this to be nonsensical. We are not awash in assaults or rapes here by an stretch.

Fair play, I kind of agree with you in principle here that this is an imposition on free speech. It's not a joke though. I am a parent though and if my kid was murdered or abducted, and someone started taking the mickey on Facebook (or at least somewhere I could see it) I may well be inclined to physical violence. I can't feel too sorry for Matthew Woods - I see no real reason why he should not learn to be a decent person. I do accept you let the Westboro boys do their thing in the US - however you do have (for instance) quite heavy libel / slander rules and you cannot shout fire in a crowded theater, so essentially this is a question of degree (i.e. speech is never completely free you invariably have to draw a line someplace).

@joethewebmaster, no I'm not stuck in the 70's.
I have a newsflash for you, in the majority of countries around the world, you can't buy handguns legally, let alone carry loaded concealed firearms while going for a jog.

I meant to say that there is no conclusive study in favor of gun-ownership when looking at the net effect. Shouldn't be surprising considering that the topic is very complex.
Either way, I think this thread is dead now. Thx for a satisfying discussion.

Those numbers are based on comparing US and UK crime statistics. If you demonstrated that there are very important factors in UK crime that don't exist in the US and have nothing to do with guns that would be a start. You could also help your case by demonstrating that crime in the UK is out of control compared to other wealthy gun control countries (don't include poor or becoming-rich countries; not a fair comparison) and, when you compare those countries to the US, things don't look so good.

"for every firearm murder we prevent 75 rapes and 500 assaults"
If there was a study that was so conclusive in favor of gun-ownership, everybody would know about it.
Nobody has actually proven that the link is causal (in either direction). But for the sake of this discussion, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Since pepperspray is better than a gun in the sense that abuse/accident is less likely to result in a death, I would have to make the case that the reduction in those deaths is larger than the increase in assault (if we assume that pepperspray is less effective than guns in preventing assault).
Naturally, I'm unable to whip up a study like that (unless maybe Denmark goes all in for pepperspray). But I would like to believe its common sense. Maybe thats just me.

NOW Im gonna shove that website in your face again. But, JIC you missed it before, I should mention that Im not married to that argument. You are welcome to try and persuade me that my conclusion (for every firearm murder we prevent 75 rapes and 500 assaults) is wrong. Persuade me the numbers are wrong and you might even persuade me its not such a good deal after all. But back it up with links.

"Your escalation theory is simply retarded"
So says you. Denmarks own police department and intelligence agency regularly warns against escalation of violence when citizens take matters into their own hand.
"The police generally do not wear bulletproof vests let alone citizens, I do not see people running around with bazookas"
Similarly, not all criminals know how to take down a dog like you do.

I admit that if we did legalize some kind of self-defense weapon, I would actually be ok with pepperspray, since abuse/accident is much less likely to lead to a death. But there's no way that doesn't have bad repercussions further down the road.
Here comes a follow-up question you probably saw coming a mile away: if we could settle with pepperspray, what justifies going the extra mile and getting a firearm? The freedom argument wouldn't appear to be useful here, because all you'd do is replace the gun with a can of pepper, right?

@uhmdown, I've been trained and self trained in various physical and intellectual arts. I would list my capabilities but would probably be called a liar or despised as low skilled people do not like a braggart. I've been through many walks of life and perspectives and fully understand everything is not black and white. Your escalation theory is simply retarded, in the state I live AZ anyone can carry concealed if they do not have a felony record. The police generally do not wear bulletproof vests let alone citizens, I do not see people running around with bazookas etc. Quit being a p.u.s.s and return your batman dvd.

Home > Live Scanner Streaming Audio
Sometimes on the weekends when there is little MilAir activity
I'll stream the Volusia County (Daytona Beach, FL) talk-group.
Scroll to down to see list of Callsigns you'll hear
Here is the setup for live audio streaming. In the picture below you'll see 10 scanners, however only the 6 scanners (all BC-789-XLT's) on the
middle shelf are actually being streamed. The audio out of each of these 6 scanners feed the New Communications Solutions NCS-3230 Multi-RX device.
This is the device on the bottom row with 6 red LED's across. The NCS-3230 has a single 'record line' output which is feed to the soundcard of
the laptop computer you see at the right. This laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L505 which has a 2.2GHz CPU, 4GB of ram and running Windows 7 operating system.
The laptop is running Microsofts Expression Encoder 4 software (you can see it running in the picture) which handles the streaming to the internet.
You can see picture of the entire shack by Clicking Here.
I get alot of questions on how I have my antennas arranged, if I have 10 antennas since I have 10 scanners. Well, no, I don't have 10 scanner antennas, I only have 2. Each scanner is connected to either a Stridsberg MCA208 or MCA204 amplified multi-coupler. See photo below. The multi-coupler isolates each scanner's antenna input from the other scanners as well as amplifies the RF by about 3dB to overcome the loss of more than 1 scanner connected to the same antenna. In the photo below I have have the MCA204 (4 port) coupler connected to a Create Log-Periodic 5130-2N antenna. The MCA208 (8 port) coupler is connected to an Antennacraft Scantenna (Model ST-2). For a review and more info on the Stridsberg Multi-Coupler I have a review Here.

Plywood Edge - Creating a New Material in SketchUpcomments (11) December 21st, 2008 in blogs
There are a number of new features in SketchUp 7. One of them is called Combine Textures. I think this one is somewhat overlooked but it can have some uses for us woodworkers. The description for Combine Textures in Google's What's New in the Release document is this:
"The Combine Textures menu item combines separate textures on adjacent co-planar faces into a single larger texture. This feature also, optionally, removes edges between co-planar faces to reduce the polygon count for the model as a whole. Context-click on multiple selected parallel faces, with at least one face having a texture, and select "Combine Textures" to create a texture which is unique to that set of faces."
I used this recently for a split top drafting table I've been working on. I needed a plywood edge material and rather than searching for one I made it in a few seconds. Here's how.
I started with a rectangle that I drew as 3/4" high. The length is unimportant in this case. I wanted the final texture to fit 3/4" plywood so I laid it out to scale. The material can be scaled later but in this case it's easy enough to draw it to size which will make it simpler to use later.
Using guidelines, I laid out the limits for the layers of the plywood. Then I drew in horizontal lines along the guidelines. I went so far as draw the outer layers as thinner than the inner ones. I also made an odd number of plies.
Then I applied a light-colored wood grain material to alternating layers. Then I used a brown color on the remaining layers. One of the materials needs to be a texture. Combine textures doesn't work with only colors.
I selected the faces and then right clicked on one of them to get the context menu. I chose Combine Textures and then clicked on OK to have the coplanar lines removed.
At this point the new material shows with a thumbnail in the In Model section of the Materials browser. I gave it a name and clicked on Create Material. Then I opened the secondary Materials Browser. I set the secondary window to the desired library, Wood1 in this case, and then clicked on and dragged the new material from the In Model library to the Wood1 library.
That's all there is to this one. It probably takes longer to read this than to do it.

I did a quick little video grab showing what happens when I used a texture and a color. You can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8294157@N08/3731366419/
If you don't get it sorted out soon, send me the SKP file and I'll take a look.

For veneered plywood:
0) Create a rectangle defining an edge of the plywood sheet.
1) Draw a line across that plywood edge rectangle to define the top veneer ply.
2) Select that line.
3) Select the "Move (m)" command.
4) Hold down the Control key and drag the new line copy to a position defining the bottom veneer ply (i.e., copy the top veneer line to where the bottom veneer line should go.)
5) Before selecting any other objects, commands, etc., type "/5" to create both the new line for the bottom veneer ply, and 4 additional evenly spaced lines between it and the original line.
This will give you two (2) veneer plies and five (5) uniform interior plies, for a total of seven (7) plies. The only measurements you need to know are the thickness of the sheet, and the thickness of the veneer.
For plywood with uniform plies throughout (i.e., no veneer):
0) Create a rectangle defining an edge of the plywood sheet.
1) Delete the bottom line of the rectangle.
2) Select the top line of the rectangle.
3) Select the "Move (m)" command.
4) Hold down the Control key and drag the new line copy to the bottom of the rectangle, replacing the deleted bottom line. It should snap into place, closing the rectangle and making it a "surface" again, instead of a mere collection of lines.
should go.)
5) Before selecting any other objects, commands, etc., type "/5" to create both the new line for the bottom of the rectangle, and 4 additional evenly spaced lines between it and the top line.
This will give you five (5) uniform plies. The only measurement you need to know is the thickness of the sheet.
I don't have SKP installed on this machine, so I'm kinda doing this from memory, but I'm pretty sure these sequences work ;-)
There's a nice tutorial video of the "/n" VCB shortcut here:

Yes, I am using the pro version but everything I've done could be done in the free version as well.
The wood grain materials I used aren't standard SketchUp textures. They are textures I found doing image searches. You can import any JPG and use it as a texture if you wish.
Posted: 7:04 am on December 22nd
The wood textures look nicer than the standard ones in my SolidWorks 2009 software.
I am truly amazed at what Google Sketchup offers you for so little cost (I am assuming you are using the paid professional version)
Best Regards

3rd round was technical interview with international manager. This round is more about a broader view and some general techniques that you have used in your written examination and how you could have improved it.
4th round is HR round. This I felt was more of a formality and unless one does anything very offensive should not be a problem.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7+ months – interviewed at Lexmark International in June 2014.Interview Details
Really a disappointing experience. After completing a ten-month internship in which my work was constantly praised, I was brought in for an interview (five months after applying for the job, by the way). The gentleman who interviewed me the first time kept constantly checking his watch, which was rude and distracting for me. Nevertheless, it led to a second interview that I was told went really well, even though I felt that the gentleman interviewing me spent more time applauding his own wisdom than asking about my specific qualifications. Anyway, I was given a tour of the building, benefits were discussed, and I was assured that I would be called about the position. For about a week thereafter, I was sent videos to watch and encouraged to do my own research to prepare me for the position...but the call never came and then a month passed.
I spent three weeks trying to follow up on the status of the position, only to find my emails ignored. When I tried to send a courteous email to a recruiter asking about the interview and inquiring for feedback, I received a blunt, automated response that didn't even attempt to address my questions. It would have been a lousy way to treat a customer; I was in disbelief that they would treat a former intern with such blatant disregard.Interview Questions
