A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

"Tough to Finish"
This is the second Robert B. Parker novel I tried to listen to. The novel is very hard to finish with all the
More of the same. Not my favorite.
Not impressed. No obvious changes in character voices.
Not if the he said....she said....Jesse said continues. So annoying to listen to.
"Well done"
I am loving the series and it still continues to entertain.
It is hard to chose my favorite character, but grandma and Lula cracks me up!
Lorelei King is amazing! The book would not be the same without narration.
"Excellent Read"
Excellent story and great narration.
The plot was very interesting and the twist and turns were unexpected.
The performances were on point and made the story come to life.
Immediately after finishing this book I handed my Ipod to my husband and said

You may remember, there was a product in the '90's that was hot for a while called Let's JAM. It smoothed out edges and left your hair looking shiny. I think my mom uses it to this day. Well it was good at smoothing down edges but it was full of petroleum products.
Enter Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste. This product is pretty much a dupe of JAM but without any of the nasty stuff. Its all natural. This does a great job of making my edges smooth, and unlike gel, the hair is soft and pliable at the end of the day. I pretty much only use this on edges when I want a sleek look. I think its too sticky to try to control an actual curl, but I've never given that a full go. One thing I like about this is the contrast it creates between the slick sides and my fluffy hair when in a puff or just pulled back on the sides. Keep the fact that it does changed the look of your texture a bit. Just in case you are anti smoothness.
Update: As promised, here is a peek at what it looks like in my hair:

Audience Reviews
Yes I think we all get the picture that the leads played their roles fantastically. The movie itself wasn't perfect because of the cheesiness of it. It's great if your into romance films but it's not for everyone. Olivia Hussey is definetely the best Juliet there's ever been. It's solid for a romance but as I said it wont hold universal appeal. The reason being for me because it didn't feel like it was on a large enough epic or tragic scale.
- aquateen2, Tuesday, January 24, 2012
I liked this version, but I had a feeling they had a lot of vreepy clothes and terrible acting.
- DreamExtractor, Thursday, May 19, 2011
Saw this in English class my freshman year of high school. I don't have excellent memories of all of it, so I should probably rewatch it sometime, but, for a straight take on the story, it's probably the best one to pick. No one does spectacle like Zeffirelli.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Why doesnt the automatic fi ligature work in Quark 4 with my font? I exported the font with Mac Roman encoding, as a Postscript Type 1, in Font Lab 4.6. The ligature is in the right place too. Is there anything else I should do?
And yes, I did activate the function in Quark
I think the one encoding to use is the one used in most of Fontfonts typefaces. Whats it called? Is it custom made? Thanks.
Tech problem with his fi ligature and Quark.
This is a thread started in the DESIGN area. I thought might get a few more useful eyeballs on it if it were here in the BUILD area.

text: Alonso: I don't think change is going to happen soon at Ferrari 22 May, 2014 Fernando Alonso during a media call in Monaco Nothing much has changed at Ferrari since Marco Mattiacci took over as team principal of the Formula One team last month, Fernando Alonso said on Wednesday. "Not much to be honest. I don't think it's going to happen soon," the double world champion told reporters at the Monaco Grand Prix when asked what was different under the new leadership. "He's still learning about the team situation, the Formula One environment, the F1 weekends," explained the Spaniard. "There are a lot of things to learn and [he wants to] get some experience before making any decisions that at the moment he will not take." Mattiacci, the former head of the Italian carmaker's North American operations, was drafted in after Stefano Domenicali resigned in early April following the team's disappointing start to the new V6 turbo era. Ferrari pit garage in Monaco The new boss, who has no Formula One experience, said last month that he thought initially Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was joking when he made the approach. While Montezemolo has attended two of the five races so far, and has said he wants to be more hands on with the race team, Mattiacci has kept a low profile. The Italian hid behind sunglasses on his first day in the pit lane in Shanghai, when he also held a news conference. In Spain two weeks ago, he was a largely silent presence alongside Montezemolo when the president met the media. Alonso said life at the factory was largely unchanged too, with meetings and simulator work the same as ever. "Probably it was expected not to have any change in the first month, because he still does not have the experience," said the Spaniard. Ferrari have not won a race in more than a year, or qualified on pole position since 2012, and are currently third in the constructors' standings. (Reuters) Subbed by AJN.

How Much Is A Scrap Of Royal Wedding Toast Worth?
By editor
Originally published on Tue July 24, 2012 9:52 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. In honor of the London Olympics, here's dramatic British news. An auction house sold a memento from the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Rose Marie Smith says she visited her daughter, who worked for the royal family back in 1981. She saw toast that Prince Charles left on a breakfast tray. Last week, she sold it for the equivalent of $361. It's one of the higher prices on record for a scrap of food. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

well, you need 3 things to run. spark, fuel and compression.
you need to find out what is missing. my guess is the fuel pump has failed as it is a very common failure.

Five years after a gunshot changed his life, the author reflects on what a decade of war has cost Americans
I cry whenever I think of a memorial service I attended in Iraq. From the back of the hot, packed room next to the chaplain's office, I looked down the center aisle and saw six sets of boots, rifles, helmets, and dog tags. Six Americans had lost their lives defending their country. I had seen these Marines hug each other before heading out on patrol -- real hugs, as if they guessed they might not see each other again. They had been in Iraq for a while and knew how dangerous every mission was.
Blood and treasure are the costs of war. However, many news articles today only address the treasure -- the ballooning defense budget and high-priced weapons systems. The blood is simply an afterthought. Forgotten is the price paid by our wounded warriors. Forgotten are the families torn apart by lengthy and multiple deployments. Forgotten are the relatives of those who make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. As we look back on 9/11, we should also remember all those who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Fewer than 1 percent of Americans have fought in these wars, and it is important for the public to understand their effects on our fighters and those close to them.
The attacks of September 11, 2001, ushered in a new era of reservist involvement, and like many others, I volunteered to deploy to Iraq. As a Civil Affairs Team Leader, I was entrusted to help local Iraqi communities develop critical infrastructure projects. Our focus on foot patrols, combined with the intense heat and carrying 65 pounds of weapons and gear, made for long days. The enemy threat was omnipresent, and this was a chance to truly lead from the front. Being a part of this unit was the highlight of my military career, and in my short time there I learned a lot about leadership and troop welfare.
October 18, 2006, started out like any day over there, at least as much as I can remember of it. We had a newspaper reporter with us, and he rode next to me in the up-armored humvee. We stopped to inspect an Iraqi police station that had been shot up the night before, and then to check on a squad of Marines who guarded a notoriously dangerous area.
As we exited the vehicle at our next stop, I told the reporter about an enemy sniper in the area who had already killed several Marines, and warned him to move quickly. Based on this advice, he took a big step forward, and a bullet smashed into the wall next to us right where his head had been. The next bullet hit me behind my left ear and exited out my mouth, causing catastrophic damage along the way. Somehow, from hundreds of yards away, the sniper had managed to shoot me in the thin sliver of exposed skin between my helmet and neck guard. Miraculously the bullet did not hit my brain or my spinal cord. It did, however, tear apart my mouth and face. Although I initially did not lose consciousness, I do not remember anything from the sniper attack, nor anything else from the next two weeks.
The Marines closest to me thought that I had been killed instantly, but that did not deter Corpsman George Grant. With complete disregard for his own life, Corpsman Grant ran over to me, even though the sniper was still trying to pick off other targets. George saved my life that day. He performed rescue breathing and an emergency tracheotomy on me, even under these chaotic conditions. Ultimately, he was able to stabilize me long enough to get me to the closest medical facility. The Battalion Commander also stared down death to help provide emergency medical care to me.
Fortunately for me, these two warriors weren't the only ones willing to sacrifice their lives for mine. Lance Corporal (LCpl) Buhler, a young Marine whom I barely knew, then drove me to safety at 70 miles per hour, although we normally drove at a quarter of that speed due to the inordinate number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the roads. Had we run over an IED driving that fast, our vehicle surely would have flipped over and killed both of us.
From Iraq, I flew to Landstuhl, Germany and then on to what is now the Walter Reed Bethesda Naval Hospital. By an odd quirk of fate, I would later run into LCpl Buhler at that hospital - he and his best friend in Iraq had approached a black BMW due to an intelligence tip, but the insurgents exploded it when they were just a few feet away. LCpl Buhler was lucky enough to only suffer from shrapnel wounds to his abdomen, but his best friend, as he said, was "vaporized" right in front of him. Although LCpl Buhler recovered from his stomach wounds relatively quickly, I am certain he will struggle with the mental image of his dying friend for the rest of his life.
The next four to six weeks were difficult for me, and at several different times the doctors were not sure if I would survive. At one point, my fever spiked to 105° and I had not slept in a week. I suffered from anxiety, fear, and depression, and had a severe allergic reaction to the medicine administered to me. As a result, extremely graphic and violent hallucinations filled my mind, to the point where although just lying in my bed, I was sweating profusely from the horrific images in my mind. In fact, my heart was beating so quickly that the doctors told my family that if they could not slow it down, I would have a heart attack and die.

"An individual's rights ARE the goal, ARE the mission, ARE the program."
When Silk Road launched in February 2011, it was one of several online marketplaces selling drugs to the public. If a buyer wanted to shop around, the Open Vendor Database (OVDB) and The Farmer's Market (TFM) were two other relatively popular options available around that time. In 2012, OVDB was absorbed into Silk Road and TFM fell to a major drug bust. The Silk Road remains active today as the largest market of its kind.
Online drug markets have a long, difficult-to-pin-down past that extends back beyond Silk Road and the Bitcoins spent there to more than a decade of dealing over different mediums. Finding information on past markets is tricky. When asked, some veteran vendors will talk about older digital currencies such as e-gold, Pecunix, Liberty Reserve and even Western Union and PayPal being used on markets like The Hive or in small, ephemeral IRC channels. Still others point to deals made in the 1990s and even further back on Usenet.
Some of the old vendors and buyers from these markets will not talk about them in public. Years after most of these markets ceased to exist, former patrons still stick to an old ethos that once covered them all: Loose lips sink ships.
It took black markets like Silk Road using anonymizing tools such as Bitcoin and Tor to bring these activities closer to sunlight.
"Silk Road is hands down the most popular mainstream internet drug market to ever be," wrote user kmfkewm. "It also uses some of the best security honestly, although there is room for improvement for sure. It was the first community to embrace Bitcoin and one of the first to operate openly (OVDB launching almost simultaneously and Black Market Reloaded coming shortly after). It was the second drug market to be structured similar to E-bay or Amazon (the others were more like OVDB with a forum and private message system versus a market interface). TFM was the first market to have a market interface built into their community as far as I know, but I am pretty sure the Silk Road interface pwnt theirs."
Whereas most older markets had operated as closed forums, chats, instant messages or otherwise privately organized groups, Silk Road is the most recognizable name in a new generation of marketplaces. The site's open market, large and active community, polished interface and business model mimicking the best of eBay, Craigslist and Amazon have played instrumental roles in the rise of the Road.
For a buyer, the site is simple. He downloads the anonymizing tool Tor, signs up for a free account on Silk Road and purchases encrypted Bitcoins to use in the market. Ideally, the buyer will take his time to search for a vendor with a good reputation selling a product with positive feedback on the forums. Or, as happens often enough, the buyer will hurry to buy LSD from the first dealer he spots. When the buyer has found what he wants, he can place it in a shopping cart as if he was buying a classic baseball card on eBay.
Next, Silk Road receives the buyer's money in an escrow "as a trusted third party", takes a commision off the top and then launders it to sever any traceable connections it had to the buyer. The vendor is informed of the purchase and given the buyer's shipping address.
When the product is received, the buyer can "finalize" the transaction and release the funds. If there's a problem, Silk Road will step in to mediate. The site's administrators say that over 99% of transactions go through successfully or are mediated to a mutually agreed upon conclusion. Independent studies of feedback on the market have confirmed those numbers as strongly as is independently possible. Beyond the sale, buyers and sellers can affect each other's reputation by submitting ratings similar to eBay's feedback and rating system and by posting reviews in the forums.
There's nothing else quite like it out there. Today, imitators and off-shoots are building new marketplaces with lessons learned from Silk Road. It's a system that has helped to launch a new generation of black markets that have stymied law enforcement the world over.
But even for the most enthusiastic buyers and sellers, Silk Road is far from perfect.
The Bitcoin itself has been one of the site's major strengths thanks to the relative anonymity and security it provides. It's also been the cause of serious pain for vendors and buyers alike. When Silk Road launched, Bitcoin was a famously volatile currency with a tendency to lose and gain significant value in sudden swings.
"I have been here for many of [Silk Road's] new adaptations," wrote user anarcho47. "When I first started selling on here, there was no hedging against BTC fluctuations and this is back when BTC was making its wild swings from $1.00 – $30.00+ and all over the map, so buyers would be hesitant to purchase while the price was going up, and sellers would cancel orders while the price was going down. The few ones that stayed honest (myself included) hardly made any money at this time, and the currency issues alone completely wiped out more than a couple of sellers."
Silk Road had a working community of buyers and sellers from day one. From then, word of mouth in the growing Bitcoin community and curious onlookers around the web steadily built up the user base in what was a young but already impressive marketplace.
As with any other market, price can attract or repel money from Silk Road. Depending on when and what you look for, you may find drugs on sale for less than local street value. More commonly, prices are at least slightly inflated but come with the benefits of anonymity that Bitcoin and Tor provide.
As Silk Road matured, the market diversified. Marijuana has always been the most popular product but harder drugs have become more readily available over time. Sellers began to offer products outside of drugs including hardware, pirated digital goods, forged documents, guns and stolen web accounts. Nevertheless, drugs have remained the market's dominant offering by far.
Dread Pirate Roberts, the now famous and much-loved libertarian founder of Silk Road, began as the head administrator and a vendor on the site. As its popularity increased by word of mouth, he quickly stepped back to what he says is a purely managerial role. Doing this avoids potential conflict with customers, allows him to dedicate more time to role of CEO and, perhaps most importantly, vexes law enforcement who would like nothing more than for Roberts to poke his head out from the shadows.
By May 2011, the site had grown quickly to an active user base in the hundreds according to Bitcoin Magazine. On June 1, 2011, Gawker's Adrian Chen published an article showing Silk Road to the world.
Making small talk with your pot dealer sucks. Buying cocaine can get you shot. What if you could buy and sell drugs online like books or light bulbs? Now you can: Welcome to Silk Road.
About three weeks ago, the U.S. Postal Service delivered an ordinary envelope to Mark's door. Inside was a tiny plastic bag containing 10 tabs of LSD. "If you had opened it, unless you were looking for it, you wouldn't have even noticed," Mark told us in a phone interview.
Chen's article changed Silk Road forever. When Silk Road showed up in one of the most influential blogs on the net, the stream of new users became a torrent. Soon, prominent politicians expressed disdain for the "brazen" and "audacious" selling of drugs. Law enforcement expressed frustration at their inability to act against the site.
The public had many reactions but, above all else, they were intensely interested in what was happening. Silk Road is a seductive experiment in tech, economics, anonymity, crime, law enforcement, drugs, personal freedom and community. Even many of those disgusted with the ideas promoted by the market have long had their eyes glued to the drama unfolding.
Thousands of new users rushed into the marketplace to see if it wasn't just a mirage. Membership jumped "an order of magnitude to over ten thousand," reported Bitcoin Magazine.
The new members were initially faced with a creaky Silk Road website that went down for several days under the weight of sudden massive publicity. Eager scammers waited to prey on the curious newbies. A still-volatile Bitcoin made doing business even riskier as its value quickly doubled, halved and then continued to fall as it adjusted to the rush in the days following the influx. "Silk Road suffered as the price fell from $31 to $2 between June and November, making it difficult for sellers to make money," reported Bitcoin Magazine.
After the new users purchased Bitcoins, they made orders in droves and turned what was a reasonably popular marketplace into a singularly successful business. Dread Pirate Roberts began work on upgrading the infrastructure to deal with the surge in traffic. Technical difficulties on the site, economic woes for the Bitcoin currency and security difficulties facing the web's largest BTC exchange led many curious new faces to leave or step back considerably during 2011.
However, reports of the death of Bitcoin turned out to be greatly exaggerated. The price of Bitcoins would rebound and eventually stabilize towards the end of the year. Despite all the hiccups, Silk Road was traveling on an indisputably upward trajectory.
To help fight Bitcon volatility, a "hedged escrow" option was introduced for buyers and sellers in July 2011. Today, Bitcoins are converted into US Dollars after the purchase, held in an escrow and then quickly changed back as the transaction is finalized, shielding both sides significantly from whatever currency volatility may creep up. When Roberts announced the new option, the site's American majority seemed just as pleased as international users.
Whatever else was being said about him, Roberts and his team were repeatedly proving themselves to be supremely competent businessmen.
On August 16, Dread Pirate Roberts announced that he was hiring new talent with an attention-grabbing $1,000 referral prize.
We are looking for a unix administrator to add to our team. The person in this position will be responsible for the security, reliability and performance of our servers. They should have at least several years of experience and be able to formulate and clearly communicate new ideas for improving our systems. This is a temporary position that could turn into a more permanent arrangement depending on your performance and character. To apply, please send your answers to the following questions via the "contact us" link on the main site. Use the subject line "unix admin application".
Why do you want to join the Silk Road team?
Describe your experience as a unix admin and your skill set. Do you have other skills that might be applicable to our operation?
If you were starting from scratch, how would you set up the Silk Road servers to maximize security, performance, and reliability?
Are you able to work full-time (40+ hrs/week), part-time (at least 20 hrs/week), or both?
How much would you need to be paid?
Were you referred by someone? Who?
How did you hear about Silk Road?
What is your drug of choice, if any?
Anything else we should consider?
We are offering a $1000 to anyone who refers the person we hire
About 4,000 people have viewed the offer, many of whom said publicly that they'd be sending in resumes. Several site members became nervous about a public hiring.
"Wouldn't it make sense for you to hire someone that you know and trust?" wrote user whome. "The paranoid me jumped out of his shorts when he saw this ad. What if someone says hire this guy! and that guy is Law Enforcement…"
"your concern is appropriate," wrote Roberts. "However, the person we hire will not be put in a position to be able to compromise the site. There are also substantial advantages over using someone I know. In an operation like this, people are the biggest liability. Someone I know and trust can tell someone I don't know and trust what's going on. If this person needs to be let go for any reason, there are no loose ends."
Not all the Silk Roaders were convinced.
"Really? I don't think this is a good idea," wrote user envious. "How could he not be in a position to compromise the site? You have to at least give him some sort of SSH access, and local root exploits are a dime a dozen. Just do your homework and run OpenBSD with full ASLR and isolate each process in a VM. Then your site is virtually impenetrable."
Roberts explained the new position further.
"Access is not necessary," he wrote. "At least at first, this person will be more of a dedicated expert adviser. There are many layers to this site and more we want to add, and unfortunately my expertise and time are maxed out. Several members have been very generous in volunteering their time to help improve the site, but by their nature, volunteers can only do so much and have other obligations. Right now we need someone with plenty expertise who can dedicate their time to this project and help take it to the next level. If all goes well, we'll be opening up other positions too."
"A random advisor could still be in the position to trick you into installing something dangerous," responded envious. "For instance they could work with some sort of software developer, install a backdoor and host it on the actual real hosting site, and tell you to install it. Instantly rooted. I think it should be someone you semi-trust, not some random. Not someone CLOSE to you per say, but someone that you have known for a while, has a history in the scene, and you are pretty confident they are not LE. Hope this helps."
Several other forum members continued to discuss the idea of outside hiring and related security concerns. Other more enthusiastic users discussed passing the wanted ad onto qualified friends from major tech companies such as Cisco. Roberts withdrew from the conversation except for one more update:
"I've been blown away by the caliber of the applicants so far."
Drugs launched Silk Road into the stratosphere but the marketplace has had much more to offer since launch. Whether you want to buy a MacBook, cell phone jammer or imitation designer fashion, Silk Road has a section for you to browse. However, there are limits.
"Practically speaking, there are many powerful adversaries of Silk Road and if we are to survive, we must not take them all on at once," reads the Silk Road Seller's Guide. "Do not list anything who's (sic) purpose is to harm or defraud, such as stolen items or info, stolen credit cards, counterfeit currency, personal info, assassinations, and weapons of any kind. Do not list anything related to pedophilia."
All the above — from child pornography to weapons to stolen credit cards — are easily available in other marketplaces around the web.
In fact, Silk Road had allowed the sale of small-arms through the first year of its existence. It was a regular source of debate on moral, ethical and business grounds.
"Silk Road should strive to have every item and service that subverts the power of the state," wrote user dird in January 2012.
"How much of us wants this place to represent some philosophical/ideological/social idea," wrote user prsnnknwn, "vs. how much of us wants it to be another convenience store (yeah, unusual, but still, just another one). And from there you can start ask whether we should ban this or that or nothing whatsoever."
Polls on the subject were repeatedly split near the middle.
On February 26, 2012, Dread Pirate Roberts opened an off-shoot of the Silk Road called the Armory focused "exclusively on the sale of small-arms weaponry for the purpose of self defense."
First off, we at Silk Road have no moral objection to the sale of small-arm weaponry. We believe that an individual's ability to defend themselves is a cornerstone of a civil society. Without this, those with weapons with eventually walk all over defenseless individuals. It could be criminals who prey on others, knowing they are helpless. It could be police brutalizing people with no fear of immediate reprisal. And as was seen too many times in the last century, it could be an organized government body committing genocide on an entire unarmed populace. Without the ability to defend them, the rest of your human rights will be eroded and stripped away as well.
That being said, there is no reason we have to force everyone into a one-size-fits-all market where one group has to compromise their beliefs for the benefit of another. That's the kind of narrow thinking currently used by governments around the world. It's why we are in this mess in the first place. The majority in many countries feel that drugs and guns should be illegal or heavily regulated, so the minority suffers.
Here at Silk Road, we recognize the smallest minority of all, YOU! Every person is unique, and their human rights are more important than any lofty goal, any mission, or any program. An individual's rights ARE the goal, ARE the mission, ARE the program. If the majority wants to ban the sale of guns on Silk Road, there is no way we are going to turn our backs on the minority who needs weaponry for self defense.
The Armory lasted only six months until August 16, 2012 when it was shut down due to slow business. After all, it's usually easy for most American citizens to purchase guns from local dealers with greater privacy, a lower price and, often, completely legally.
"As someone who likes guns and likes privacy, I saw no real benefit to having the Armory," wrote user IveBeenBit. "In most states in the US, you can get what you want and do so privately or semi-privately, and completely legally. We're lucky to have some REALLY powerful lobbyists that have successfully hampered the government's tracking of firearms ownership.
The online weapons market is far from dead. With The Armory gone, Black Market Reloaded is now likely the most popular limitless Tor market. Even there, the gun market is many times smaller than the drug market. Overall, BMR carries less than half the volume of goods offered at Silk Road. It also has far less publicity. BMR users generally like it that way.
The attempt to create a separate market for guns highlighted Dread Pirate Robert's political streak. His brand of active anti-state libertarianism has been the subject of much discussion. In answering questions on the forums and in private, Robert has made his ideology well known. He's produced a number of political essays that have attracted great attention in the community.
Here he is laying out his vision of drug legalization and the future of personal freedom:
I keep hearing this argument come up when people talk about drug prohibition: legalize, regulate and tax it. On the surface it sounds like a good idea. No more drug war, more tax revenue, government regulators can make sure it is safe. Makes sense, right?
I can't help but think something is wrong though. Feels like the bastards that have been screwing everyone over all this time still win in this scenario. Now all that money can go to the state and to their cronies, right?
Here's the rub: the drug war is an acute symptom of a deeper problem, and that problem is the state. If they "legalize, regulate and tax" it, it's just one more part of society under their thumb, another productive sector that they can leech off of.
If prohibition is lifted, most people here will go away. You'll go back to your lives and get your drugs from whatever state certified dispensaries are properly licensed to sell to you. Drug use will be as interesting as smoking and drinking.
Here's my point: Silk Road is about something much bigger than thumbing your nose at the man and getting your drugs anyway. It's about taking back our liberty and our dignity and demanding justice. If prohibition is lifted, and the drug industry is placed under the yoke of the state, then we won in a small way, but lost in a big way. Right now, drugs are ours. They aren't tainted by the government. We the people control their manufacture, distribution and consumption. We should be looking to expand that control, taking back our power, no giving what is ours to the very people that have been our enemies all along.
It's easy to justify though. Think of all the horrors the war on drugs has caused that will be gone, almost instantly. That pain could stop!
Don't be tempted by this short-term easy fix of "let the government handle it." Their time is coming to an end. The future is OUR time. Let us take this opportunity they've given us to gain a foothold from which we can throw that yoke off completely. We are NOT beasts of burden to be taxed and controlled and regulated. WE are free spirits! We DEMAND respect! The future can be a time where the human spirit flourishes, unbridled, wild and free! Don't be so quick to put on that harness and pull for the parasites.
If prohibition is lifted, where will you be? Will you forget about all this revolution stuff? Will you go back to ignoring that itching feeling that something isn't right, that men in uniforms and behind desks have just a bit too much control over your life, and are taking more and more of your sovereignty every day? Will you go back to thinking that taxes are as inevitable as death and the best you can do is to pull as hard as you can for them until you mind, body and spirit are all used up? Or will you feel the loss, as one more wild west frontier comes under the dominion of the enemy, and redouble your efforts to stop it?
I know where I'll be. I won't rest until children are born into a world where oppression, institutional violence and control, world war, and all the other hallmarks of the state are as ancient history as pharaohs commanding armies of slaves. The drug war merely brings to light their nature and shows us who they really are. Legalizing it won't change that and will only make them stronger.
Hold on to what you DO have, and stand for the freedom you deserve!
If Dread Pirate Roberts believed much in the state, he might have some support in a political campaign with that sort of rhetorical arsenal. In his forum signature, he links to Murray N. Rothbard's Libertarian Manifesto and Samuel Edward Konkin III's New Libertarian Manifesto.
As it stands, Roberts is the CEO of the world's largest online drug market and a crusader against what he sees as violent, vile statist oppression. He seems happier this way. Wealthier, too.
Nicolas Christin, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon, monitored Silk Road from February to July 2012. Released in August, the study made headlines all over the web when it claimed that the marketplace had $22 million in sales during that period. "Dr. Christin will be publishing a revised version later this month that lowers the estimate to around $15 million," reported The Verge in November.
The researchers found 24,422 unique items being sold. From 220 distinct sellers in February, the researchers saw 564 by the end of July. Top 100 vendors may be earning $180,000 per year from Silk Road alone. "Superstar sellers" could take in much more. Considering an overall population of at least tens of thousands of users overall and several thousands of active users, the ratio of buyers to sellers seems extremely high.
Silk Road's growth was steady but not exponential in 2012. The Road gained about 50 new active sellers each month but many left after just a few weeks. It's worth noting that a number of these disappearing vendors may have gone into "stealth mode" — that is, they sold privately to their established customers rather than publicly. Stealth vendors may go hidden to avoid unwanted notoriety and the torrent of orders that a "superstar seller" may receive.
A total of 1,397 sellers were documented during the study but "the top 100 sellers were responsible for approximately 60% of all feedback gathered, a strong indicator of the number of sales made." For all of Silk Road's growth, it seems a steady core of vendors has remained the foundation on which the market's success has been built.
"The four most popular categories are all linked to drugs; nine of the top ten, and sixteen out of the top twenty are drug-related. In other words, Silk Road is mostly a drug store, even though it also caters some other products. Finally, among narcotics, even though such a classification is somewhat arbitrary, Silk Road appears to have more inventory in "soft drugs" (e.g., weed, cannabis, hash, seeds) than "hard drugs" (e.g., opiates); this presumably simply reflects market demand."
As the researchers crawled Silk Road, several changes took place that made profiling the site more difficult.
"Whether this was due to Silk Road operators noticing our crawls or to other activity is unclear," wrote Christin.
URL structure changed. Instead of items and users being referenced by a linearly increasing numeric identifier (/silkroad/user/795, /silkroad/user/796), they became unique hashes (/silkroad/user/b00812aa62). Feedback data was obfuscated until strong push back from sellers and buyers alike convinced Roberts to revert back to a system with time-stamped, per-item feedback.
The day-by-day of Silk Road's security is obviously difficult or impossible to pin down. These changes caught by the researchers provide valuable insight into where Roberts' gaze is directed at least some of the time.
Like a lumbering bear swatting at bees, hitting nothing but air and feeling a bit slow and stung, law enforcement have come across as impotent against Silk Road.
The most notable hit law enforcement has landed against Silk Road came in July when Australian police arrested a Melbourne resident attempting to smuggle drugs into the country, reported Betabeat.
Australian law enforcement published a triumphant press release.
Silk Road is an overseas based illicit e-commerce website which facilitates the sale of drugs, weapons and other items prohibited under Australian law.
Law enforcement is well aware of this method of drug procurement and other illicit e-commerce platforms and are committed to identifying and combating users importing narcotics via this website into Australia.
"Criminals are attempting to exploit the international mail system through online networks, but the recent arrest demonstrates that we are one step ahead of them.
"The AFP will continue to identify, investigate and prosecute individuals or groups importing narcotics into Australia, including via illicit e-commerce platforms such as Silk Road," said Australian Federal Police Manager Crime Operations Peter Sykora.
"Persons who buy or sell through online market places, on so-called 'anonymous' networks should understand that they are not guaranteed anonymity," said Acting National Manager Cargo and Maritime Targeting Branch, Alana Sullivan.
Despite the ominous warning to Silk Road users, there are important caveats to note. The consensus is that the suspect was caught through more traditional means — that is, the product was likely nabbed in the mail. This scenario presents its own set of issues relating to packaging and international mailing. The prospect of mailing to island nations is particularly interesting as they can guard their borders relatively effectively.
However, an intercepted package is far less daunting to Silk Road than the prospect of governments monitoring Tor or Bitcoin's anonymizing services. Much to their collective delight, that is not what seems to have happened despite the grandstanding of the police.
The most pervasive threats to the site have been scammers and hackers.
Vendors often convince naive, impatient buyers to purchase drugs outside of Silk Road's escrow, leaving those buyers vulnerable to scams.
Early in 2012, the site's top vendor held a major 4/20 sale in which he convinced buyers to either go outside of escrow or, if in escrow, finalize the deal before they'd received their drugs. He delivered none of the product and walked away with a whole lot of cash in one fell swoop.
This is a scene that has repeated itself numerous times on Silk Road and across other anonymous marketplaces that have grown in its shadow. Buyers become vulnerable when they choose to purchase goods outside of escrow and vendors are vulnerable to buyers who lie and cheat and in an effort to harm the vendor's business.
Hackers have attacked Silk Road, disrupting business and bringing the whole market down for days at a time.
By November 2012, Silk Road was in "uncharted territory in terms of the number of users accessing Silk Road," wrote Roberts. "Most of the time we've been able to keep up with the demand, but we ARE behind the curve right now. Being the largest hidden service ever to exist and having limited options for expanding infrastructure due to the need for security means we may stay behind the curve until we can find a way to accommodate the demand. There are several paths we are currently pursuing and we hope to be back on track very soon. Please be patient and try using the site during off-peak times"
On November 8, it was discovered that a "very skilled and clever" hacker had changed product images, added a "Quick Buy" option that included a Bitcoin address, removed shipping options and made it impossible to place an order for nearly a week, explained Dread Pirate Roberts once the site was back online. "It doesn't look like anybody fell for it & the hack didn't affect most of the product listings, they however do not have backups of the original images so these will have to be reuploaded by the vendors."
Several Silk Roaders wondered if the hacker (who used an SQL injection) was now the proud owner of the Road's entire database. If so, would Roberts say so? What exact data does that entail? Is the Silk Road's database now for sale on another less visible black market?
Every time Silk Road stumbles, Black Market Reloaded and other competitors tend to grow as vendors look for alternative markets. BMR has a significantly smaller customer base but has no limits on what can be sold and sports an interface very similar to Silk Road's, putting it in a unique and attractive position. During the Road's troubles this past November, a number of vendors publicly explored BMR's marketplace and have increased the amount of drugs available there.
Today, there are one to two hundred active users on Silk Road at any given time. The total membership sits around 50,000 but that no doubt includes many clones.
The most active thread on Silk Road's forums is h3ЯØ|n Vendors, a vendor review discussion at 198,000 views and 14,793 replies. LSD, coke, MDMA and meth review threads follow. You can view publicly available and up-to-date stats from Silk Road's forums here.
Silk Road remains the net's largest hidden service of all time and an increasingly important cornerstone of the Bitcoin economy. Dread Pirate Roberts remains an endlessly fascinating figure. Orders keep coming in, deliveries continue to be successfully made and money keeps moving from wallet to wallet.

So I am planning a Spring Break, late March, riding trip and looking for recommendations. I have done the Moab and Fruita riding so I am looking for something different. With the way the current snow conditions are it certainly seems like spring break time will be a good time to start riding.
Right now I am super interested in Salida riding if it is OK to ride there in the late spring. Any recommendations on where to ride there? Camping OK/where?
Any other locations in CO that you think would be good to head out to in late March?

The City of Minneapolis Bicycle Program is integrated into many divisions and departments at the City of Minneapolis. The core staff of the Bicycle Program operates out of the Traffic & Parking Services Division of the Public Works Department. They have the primary responsibilities of educating the public through the Bike Walk Ambassador Program and implementing new projects through the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Program. Bicycle Program staff also produces the Minneapolis Bicycle Map and organizes the annual bicycle count. Other staff in Traffic & Parking Services responds to bicycle traffic safety issues and rents out bike lockers at municipal parking ramps in the downtown area.
Elsewhere in Public Works, new off-street bike trail projects, the bike rack cost share program, and the Bicycle Master Plan are managed by staff in the Transportation Planning & Engineering Division. Many Minneapolis bikeways are cared for by crews in the Street Maintenance & Repair Division.
In the Minneapolis Police Department, the Bicycle Recovery Unit stores recovered and abandoned bicycles and holds bicycle auctions. The Traffic Unit investigates accidents between bicyclists and motorists. The Traffic Control Unit enforces parking rules in bike lanes. Police officers in each of the five precincts enforce bicycle-related laws and respond to emergencies. Twenty-Eight percent of the MPD police force is certified to patrol by bicycle.
Staff in the Department of Community Planning & Economic Development prepares city plans which contain bicycle-related goals, assists with bicycle-related business development, and prepares land use rules such as bicycle parking regulations (pdf).
Staff in the Department of Health and Family Support manages grants to increase bicycling for physical activity, such as Communities Putting Prevention to Work and State Health Improvement Program.
Mayor and City Council Members handle bicycle-related constituent issues, pass resolutions related to staff recommendations, and provide direction and approve financing related to bicycle projects.

Rice fires back after dropping US top diplomat bid
Published on Dec 14, 2012 6:35 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - UN ambassador Susan Rice on Friday defended her record and lamented the partisan politics that she said had forced her to withdraw from consideration for the post of US secretary of state.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Rice defended her controversial statements about the deadly September 11 attack on a US mission in Libya and struck back at Republican lawmakers who had vowed to block her path to becoming top diplomat.
"As it became clear that my potential nomination would spark an enduring partisan battle, I concluded that it would be wrong to allow this debate to continue distracting from urgent national priorities," Rice wrote.
The longtime member of President Barack Obama's inner circle and favorite to succeed Hillary Clinton had announced on Thursday that she was removing herself from consideration for the post, despite never being formally nominated.

Thomas Fogarty Winery
6 total reviews

Wedding: 7/19/2014
Getting married at Thomas Fogarty Winery was by far the best wedding decision made throughout wedding planning. As soon as we found the place I was in love! We had toured a few other wineries in the bay area but nothing was as well maintained and as beautiful as Fogarty. You have a few different options for doing your ceremony and reception indoor/outdoor and with any option you choose you have the most beautiful view of the vineyards, bay area, santa cruz mountains, and even Oakland on a clear day. We choose to do the ceremony on the lawn and the reception on the Pavilion. Our guests were literally blown away by the whole place. We have been getting so many compliments and guests saying our wedding was the best they've ever been to since the big day.
Fogarty also has a great preferred vendors list. The vendors are all top-notch and the ones we did choose to work with from the list made wedding planning a breeze! They all know the venue and team so well. It made everything a lot easier and we knew we were in good hands!
Wedding: 6/29/2013
Do you want a dream wedding? Visit Thomas Fogarty Winery. Not only is the view spectacular, but the staff is top notch. Having great wine on site doesn't hurt, either. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, Becky and Patty took great care fulfilling all of our needs and requests. If you want a wedding site that has unlimited potential, look no further than Thomas Fogarty Winery.
Wedding: 7/21/2012
My brother introduced us to Fogarty winery. The customer service was great and wine fantastic. We've received compliments about it during our wedding.
Wedding: 9/2/2012
Very pretty outdoor venue, but it'd be difficult for guests to get to without a shuttle.
Wedding: 9/7/2012
The staff at Fogarty was helpful along the way with all of the planning process. They let you tour and come as much as you want, and more often then not we had free wine tastings! They were especially great with the vendors that they suggest, at first I didn't want to be held back by having to choose from their vendors, but we are so glad we did!
We've had so many people tell us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to and Fogarty is to thank for that!
Wedding: 9/30/2011
Becky and Ellie,
I thank you for all of your help and assistance on and before Aaron and I's special day. You truly made the experience of planning our wedding easy. Choosing our Vendors off the preferred vendors list was exactly the right thing to do, because everyone on the preferred vendors list knew everything about the location and the event space. On the brochure of Thomas Fogarty Winery it says "Your Dream Wedding Come True..." to be honest our day was exactly how we imagined it to be. Dreams really do come True! The weather was beautiful! We had our ceremony in a 360 round on the lawn in the garden overlooking the most spectacular view of the Greater Bay Area stretching across the Bay to S.F. We had our cocktail hour and dining experience outside on the deck and pavilion.Words to describe our day; perfect, serene, magical, memorable, relaxed and FUN!
Forever thankful to be able to look back at our photos and relive the moments that we shared on Sept 30, 2011.

We don't know what this phone is, but we do know what we want it to end up being: a Google Nexus S, anyone? Getting way ahead of myself here, but there's nothing else to go by (this is the first time we've heard of a Samsung GT-i9010.) The original Samsung Galaxy S was modeled GT-i9000. An i-9010 model number could indicate an incremental jump, which is what we've been hearing about this supposed Nexus S: that it's a Galaxy S with stock Android.
But that's only an educated and uninformed guess. For now, this is just a phone with an outline sitting in FCC's database with 3G radios. The WiFi alliance has also approved the device recently. For all we know, this could just be the Samsung Continuum. November 8th is just a bit over a week away, so we won't be trying too hard to come up with some answers before then. If anything does turn up, though, be assured you'll see it right here.

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision. We seek to provide all the information about vacuum cleaning systems and various replacement parts including vacuum filters which you can use to extend the life of your vacuum cleaner for several years.

So, I keep falling off and coming back and each time I tell myself that it will be different this time. I have all (at least A LOT) of knowledge about what I can do right. I have made many mistakes and learned from them, at least for a little while until I give up and make them without much remorse. So what is making THIS time different?
Well, I'll tell you. A "Hotter in Your Hot Pants" challenge came my (and other derby girls') way at the right time. I had already started exercising more and tracking what I was eating because tryouts for the teams was coming up and I knew I needed to get into shape to make the dreaded 50 laps in 10 minutes. I'm doing my half-assed effort at exercising four days a week: that's two days of practice and two days at the gym. Well, along comes the challenge and I am determined to win it. Not only am I going to win it, but I am using this as my spring board to continue the journey to it's end or a healthy life style transformation. I have not tracked my eating for so many days in a row. I am also on the 14th day in a row of exercise!
That's just the beginning. A week ago I decided to try the couch to 5k program. I am not a runner. I never played sports that required much running and now I'm a skater, but I knew I needed something else to help my cardio along. First two times on the treadmill I was SHOCKED that I could run a minute without stopping. I kept up the intervals for 20 minutes and felt good. Yesterday, something happened. I am not sure where it came from, but, it was there. The determination. I was determined to run for as long as I could. I thought I would last 2 minutes, and collapsing from lack of oxygen. So I ran. Two minutes went by and I still ran. I watched the time and distance creep up. Before I knew it I was at a half a mile. I've never done that before, let's see if I can keep this up for one more minute. I kept telling myself "one more minute" until I reached a mile and then continued to run for 15 minutes straight. I had never been more unsure of what to do in my life. I wanted to laugh, cry, dance, sing and scream all at the same time. I though if I were to ever run a mile in my life, it wouldn't have happened so soon to me. I have trouble believing I did it, but if anything I'm more determined to go back and do it again!
My name is Kellie and on June 18, 2010 I ran my first mile at 31 years old!
I have become super excited about derby again. We have a coach who is amazing on skates and teaches very well. On the outside it seems he is teaching the basics, but it's basics that some of the more experienced girls are having trouble with and are breaking a sweat. I sweat so much last practice and it was cold! The last time I was that drenched was in the middle of summer when it was boiling hot on the track. I really feel like now I can become a great skater. Plus I have the confidence to skate outside now. I went out twice last week and was trying to jump parking blocks (trying it the key word, though).
That being said, I have really been struggling and lately my appetite has been insatiable. I can't figure out why, exactly, I have been doing the same things as before, same routine and eating times. The only thing I can figure out it is I think that when I feel hungry my body is actually trying to say that I'm thirsty. I don't think I have been drinking less water, but when I have glass of milk with dinner, I have been downing it in one gulp and wanting more right away, and usually I only have one cup at dinner and it I don't drink it all at once. So, I am going to drink more water and start tracking and coming to this site every day.
I am not drinking again. I feel so bloated, lazy and depressed. I think about exercising, but I can't get myself to do it today, even the boot camp challenge feels like too much for me. I just want to cry.
Practice yesterday was a mess. I had no energy and my back hurt almost instantly. I need to double my cardio efforts during the week, we have bouts scheduled and I am in no condition to skate.
I feel like crawling back into bed and sleeping, hoping everything will go away...but I know that's not going to happen so I have to make it through the day as best as I can, get to bed on time and start fresh tomorrow. I'm thinking of hitting the gym either in the morning or after work and start running intervals on the treadmill and doing that monday and tuesday, wednesday is skating thursdays I'm lazy, so I don't know if I would make it to the gym so maybe that's a day off then go on friday since I don't work, but making it a set time and then there's practice on saturday and taking it easy again on sunday...that sounds like a good start.
So here I go...gonna put together an exercise routine for this week. Add some strength training and I am going to push myself as hard as I can, and harder.
I had not set up any visual motivators yet and after the article today, I got to it. It was discouraging to see how far I have to go. It felt a bit like deja vu. I have tried this many times before and was wondering if I am going to stick with it to the end this time or will I give up before I lose 30 pounds like always. I know I am doing well and I have to do well or my health is going to be in serious jeopardy. My uncle is in the ICU dying right now because he was unhealthy and obese for many many years (for as long as I have been alive) and I won't let that happen to me, and I won't let it happen to anyone else.
I can do this, I will do this, for myself, for the loves of my life; my son and boyfriend, and the rest of my family. I am going to be here for a long time to come. I will show the world, it can be done!
Well, I did it, just barely, though. I made my New Year's goal of 261 by weighing in at 260.6. I do have a few more days before I would have to weigh in, though, but I kept it at my regular day and since I am under goal, I'll keep it at that.
I am noticing big changes in how my clothing feels, but I just cannot seem to lose it in my waist. I am losing all the fat from my legs and butt. I have no butt! My clothes are looser around the middle, but my legs are ready for a size smaller and my pants all look like MC Hammer pants. I need to do more ab work which would help. But, all in all, I cannot complain, I am losing weight, have more energy and I do feel terrif!
My next goal is 250 by Valentine's and hopefully in a size smaller pant, I have so many of them waiting!! I've been doing more exercise daily so I need to keep it up and add some strength training and more cardio minutes the further along I get.
