dhb Rogate glove £21.99
Good foul weather gloves that will keep the cold at bay if not the wet
Weight 79g Contact www.wiggle.co.uk
dhb's Rogate make fine foul weather companions so long as you're not fussy about warm, soggy hands. They're made from medium weight neoprene, the stuff of diver's wet-suits so insulate against the chill rather than keeping hands dry and these properties have kept my fingers remarkably warm in icy conditions too thanks to close fit and marginally longer cuffs.
Dexterity is on par with other gloves using arguably more technical fibres and present few problems tackling the inevitable roadside flat, toggling between computer/heart rate monitor functions but a bit of a struggle for opening energy bars and more intricate tasks.
One disadvantage of the material is that because it offers excellent insulation it can also lock the chill inside: so, if you're putting them on with cold hands, they'll stay that way. However, I was extremely grateful for their warmth, immersing my hand, cuff deep to rescue my son's Lego figure from a muddy, wintry puddle. The backs are impregnated with obligatory and in many respects, essential reflective detailing emphasising hand signals along dark lane and suburban roads alike while neoprene's absorbent qualities makes a great nose-wipe.
Flipping them over reveals a leatherette double stitched palm. These look pleasingly retro in an era of space age gel padding but to their credit are surprisingly effective, delivering all day comfort and control on all bar coverings. Middle and index fingers share the reflective silicone chevrons ensuring slip free shifting and braking meaning they're a good bet for wet cross and mtb racing. Good cold weather gloves, they probably fall in to the marmite category, you'll either love or hate them. If you don't mind warm, clammy hands and neoprene's fairly unique texture then they've a lot to offer.

The Rogate are a foul weather neoprene glove for commuting and training duties.

Neoprene, Nylon, Elastane, PU mix, leatherette double stitched palm, silicone finger grips & reflective detailing.
Generally good but silicone finger grips have started lifting on ours.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
The Rogate are very good at insulating hands from cold in both icy winds and driving rain. By the same token, they can keep the chill in too- say if you've taken them off for any time on a cold day. However, this shouldn't be required when mending a flat or other roadside adjustments.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Good fit, nice detailing.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Being neoprene they can leave hands feeling clammy.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Possibly
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, if they value warmth over dryness in a winter glove

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- One of the book industry's largest print-on-demand operations has expanded to keep up with orders.
The Nashville-based Ingram Content Group's Lightning Source division opened three new facilities last month -- two in the U.S., and one in Germany.
Print-on-demand books are a bright spot for the traditional book industry, which has slumped as e-readers increase. According to research for IT Strategies, around a billion pages are being printed on demand each month -- driven by sales from Amazon.
Larry Brewster, who helped found Lightning Source, tells WPLN that the company can print a book and ship it out within 24 hours of getting an order.
He says demand is growing so much that machines that used to print 500-600 pages each minute now print 2,500 pages in the same amount of time.

|Primary alcohol by volume
|Commonly used ingredients
|Dice limes, put them together with the brown sugar into a high glass and crush both. Add crushed ice and pour the rum and the mate over it. Add a straw
Tschunk or chunk [ˈtʃʊnk] is the name of a German cocktail consisting of Club-Mate and white or brown rum.[1] It is usually served with limes. The edge of the glass may be covered with salt. As Club-Mate contains plenty of caffeine and sugar, the alcohol expedites the effect of the caffeine[citation needed], thus the drink has a bracing impact.
Pronunciation and Origin[edit]
The vowel in tschunk is pronounced like [u] ("oo"); there is no connection to the English word chunk. The cocktail was originally served in the "Club Forschung" (German for research club) in Rosenthaler Straße, Berlin.[citation needed] The club was also known as "Club for-chunk"
Like Club-Mate, the chunk is a typical drink within European hacker culture and can often be found at scene typical events or locations like the Chaos Computer Club[2] or c-base. It's also a typical party-drink at German universities,[citation needed] because of the huge amount of caffeine. As a result of the international audience, today it can be found in other countries such as the United States and Canada as well.[citation needed]

text: Republicans Blast Government Officials For Blocking Access to Unaccompanied Minor Facility Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 9 Jul 2014 post a comment Republican Senators blasted government officials on Wednesday for obstructing members of Congress from visiting facilities where unaccompanied minors were being held. During a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee hearing, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) blasted Heath and Human Services official Mark Greenberg for denying access to his Oklahoma colleague Rep. Jim Bridenstine from visiting a facility earlier this month. "I think you made a grievous error in denying Congressman Bridenstine access to the facility," Coburn said, calling the action "illegal." "I think it was illegal to keep a member of Congress from visiting one of these camps, regardless if they come at 3:00 in the morning, they should have access," he said. Greenberg asserted that Bridenstine was denied access to the facility because he didn't schedule a tour, and that they would be happy to make arrangements provided that the proper tour guides were in place. "I'm saying a random check by a member of congress is great for this country because they get to see what it is, not what it's prepared to be to show," Coburn replied. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was angered that he was not allowed to bring his cell phone while visiting a facility and wasn't allowed to visit with staff or children in the facility. "The children have a the right to privacy and that's why we're not having their faces shown," explained commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Gil Kerlikowske. "Are you telling me I can't even speak to staff there?" McCain asked with disbelief, reading the text of the controversial memo in the hearing. "I view that as a violation of my responsibilities," McCain said, demanding that Kerlikowske revoke his memo. "I want it fixed and I want it fixed immediately," he concluded. FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate lamented that the unaccompanied minors who were initially detained by the federal government were clearly suffering before his agency was allowed to help with the border crisis. "I don't approach this as 'These are acronyms,'" he said during the hearing. "We have very, very small children who early in this process were spending far too long in a detention cell, sharing a toilet, and eating food that was microwaved because that's all the agents could provide in the initial push," he said. Fugate said that Americans should remember that the children were all "somebody's child" and should be treated with compassion. "Until we have enough capacity to ensure that these children are not kept in detention, that there's a bed, medical care, decent food, a shower, clean clothes - we fail these children," he added. Fugate defended President Obama's funding request to properly care for the children, particularly for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Office of Refugee Resettlement. "That has been my focus, and that will continue to be the focus until such time as we have stabilized this," he said. Fugate's remarks drew a response from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) who pointed out that it was also important to stop the children from entering the country in the first place. "We're a compassionate society. We understand these are children. We want to show true compassion," he said. "I think the point that a lot of us are making here today is true compassion really would be to prevent this from happening, to actually attack the root cause," he said.

Anarchist Manifesto for a New World FreedomSubmitted by pgrady on Thu, 08/29/2013 - 09:33
When in the course of human history, it becomes time to free oneself from governmental tyranny, it is necessary to state the reasons for such liberation.
1) All taxation is theft and a violation of individual rights and self-ownership.
2) All laws are tools of enslavement designed to keep us in a mental prison.
3) Voting is a joke and gives no authority for one person or group of people to rule another group.
4) Statism, like all religions, is about submission to authority, not the elevation of one's own value as a human being.
5) Violence is a barbaric way to control people and should only be used in self-defense.
We are not sheep to be corralled, prodded, and slaughtered. We are free human beings with the rights to self-ownership, self-determination, and self-respect. We declare that we are the owners of this planet and shall treat it and each other with respect and love.
No more wars, no more disease, no more death, no more hatred. Only peace and voluntary cooperation. Amen.

Anarchism is the only solution.
Minarchism is simply the longer road to tyranny. Proof? The United States. Went from the Articles of Confederation to the far more centralized Constitution, to having a government that completely ignores the Rule of Law.
When will people stop trading one master for another? No man has any right to govern another.
Simple Facts and Plain Arguments
A common sense take on politics and current events.
The Founding Fathers
Rule of law is necessary, just as the US Constitution (which is a document of law) is necessary. Just laws exists solely to protect liberty from tyranny. But to advocate no laws necessarily means that individuals would have no legally guaranteed rights. The trick (which we have failed to accomplish) is keeping good laws, while eliminating the unjust ones.
The founders recognized that some minimal amount of government was necessary. Thomas Paine observed:
"...government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one"
It is tempting to think that no government is necessary at all. However, it only seems that way because our current government has grown from an necessary evil into an intolerable one.
Here is a compromise, let's strive to reduce the Federal government down to the size legally allowed by the US Constitution. If at that point it still seems too big, then we can discuss shrinking it further.
But please understand that if you go around claiming that libertarians are anarchists, then the cause of liberty will be harmed, not helped.
The British accused the American patriots of being anarchists. Of course it was done purely to discredit them. Quincy Adams responded:
"[T]here was no anarchy....[T]he people of the North American union, and of its constituent States, were associated bodies of civilized men and Christians in a state of nature, but not of anarchy."
This is why I'm unconvinced
of the anarchist philosophy. The great paradox of anarchism is most claim that the principles of non-aggression and volunteerism are to be of highest regard, yet how would you stop people from voluntary forming their own governements if done willfully and voluntarily? You would have to break your rules of non-aggression to stop people from voluntarily assembling; therefore a great paradox.
There is nothing wrong with taxation, as long as its voluntary. I agree that i voluntary/ compulsory taxation is immoral and should be abolished.
There is nothing wrong with laws, as long as they are justifyable to the ethics of liberty and are compatible praxeaologically; that is in accordance with human action.
This is why I'm far more convinced of the minarchist/ poly centrist philosophies.
Sorry but, AnCaps and
Sorry but, AnCaps and Voluntaryists believe that if a group of people want to setup their own government somewhere for themselves in a voluntary manner, then that is perfectly fine. However, if your government decides to try and force itself on other people then it is no longer voluntary and it is no longer legitimate.
Similar to if one Home Owner Association tries to expand by mandating that other people have to start paying them. This would not be tolerated by anybody and neither should government.
Also, as stated by others, if the tax is voluntary then it is no longer a tax. A tax by its very nature is not voluntary, but is mandated by some entity with great authority which can deprive individuals of their rights.
What do AnCaps say
about children consenting to that sort of voluntary government? Do their parents consent on their behalf, in a way that's binding on the child when the child is older?
If not then what obligations do these people have when they're older, living under rules they never personally consented to follow? They may not have any other options practically available to them, much like many people in the US were born here (they didn't personally consent to be governed) and have no real practical options for uprooting and going elsewhere. So are they obligated to follow rules they never consented to, in a system they disagree with but find themselves living under by birth?
Children are children and are
Children are children and are generally incapable of making adult decisions or entering into contracts on their own.
And that's straight from Ron Paul, the voluntarist.
Simple Facts and Plain Arguments
A common sense take on politics and current events.
But the question is
what happens when the children grow up and become adults if their parents have voluntarily placed the family under some form of government? When the children grow up they find themselves governed by rules they never consented to, and yet practically speaking there may not be a realistic option for them to disassociate themselves from the system they were born into.
What is their status, from an AnCap point of view? If you say that they cannot be forcibly expelled from the society in which they were born, but cannot be held to regulations that their parents voluntarily agreed to but that they the children did not consent to, then you have one set of problems. If you say that the parents were able to make those commitments on behalf of their minor children, in such a way that the children remain bound by those commitments without consent as adults (subject to whatever mechanisms, if any, are provided for changing their situation) then you have a different set of problems.
Unfortunately there are the
Unfortunately there are the obedient livestock like beatrixkiddo that are happy in their enslavement and love big brother. It is because of their belief that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength that allows the govt to thrive. Their new Neo, (Rand Paul) is just a bone thrown to them to give them false hope that he is the path to freedom.
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it. . . There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be
much easier to deal with
Yes Greg
I only am capable of thinking what my masters force feed me. Seriously brother, quite thee ad hominum and red herring attack you threw at me. I never alluded to mindless compliance to authority, all I'm arguing is that there is quite the paradox within what I believe to be held in most anarchist theory; that government is inherently immoral, yet striving for a voluntary society and one that upholds the NAP.
Nothing Is wrong with the NAP or Voluntarism, I'm an avid supporter of both. However you can't at the same time hold those positions because people under such principles are validated in their actions to form a goverment instituted on voluntary measures, and with respect to the NAP. You would have to break your own rules of respecting peoples choices and non-aggression to break up the formation of governments.
As for the taxation claim, I suppose its a matter of semantics. Yes it would be more so a donation if given voluntary, I guess I've just always thought that if it was voluntary given towards a state/ governing function it should classify as a tax. But I'm open to disagreement with this argument.
actually, within an
actually, within an anarchical society, groups of people would have the right to voluntarily form their own "governments" with their own rules as long as they weren't violating other peoples rights outside of the group. The only issue would be that children born under those governmental societies would be subject to whatever rules were in place by that society. So, unfortunately there would still be violations of rights of the children in those societies but the good news is they would be able to escape at any time and come to the free, anarchical world where they would be treated with respect. Sort of the same idea as we can't go and invade and take over every country that has human rights abuses. Part of libertarianism is allowing people to make their own mistakes and learn from them and setting the example of how to live.
f___ all forms of govt.
"There is nothing wrong with
"There is nothing wrong with taxation, as long as its voluntary."
Taxation that is voluntary, is no longer taxation. That would be charity or a service that you pay for.
"How would you stop people from voluntarily organizing"
Please reread that statement over and over until the logical fallacy clicks :)
Sounds like you are almost there... just gotta let go of that last little kernel of statist brainwashing. :)
minarchism is the first goal on the road to freedom
"how would you stop people from voluntary forming their own governements if done willfully and voluntarily?"
why would you stop them if they are not violating the NAP?

Scrap Wood Block HouseAltered Art/ Paper Crafting, Scrapbook Inspiration Gallery!
The Base Coat paper collection which depicts real images of naturals or weathered surfaces like barn wood, metal roofing, cork, etc… are a favorite of ours. We have been using these papers for altered projects ever since we discovered this line (going on almost 2 years now??). This line certainly came in handy last month when we celebrated our Earth Day inspired Crop event. One of the crop projects we offered was this wood block house.
The roof is simply a paper-covered piece of foam board, cut and attached to the top of the house.

Wells Fargo & Co. and Regions Financial Corp. added at least 2 percent, pacing gains among banks. Ford Motor Co. slumped 3.6 percent as profit missed estimates on overseas challenges. Chevron Corp., the second-largest U.S. energy company, slid 2.2 percent after reporting its biggest earnings decline in two years. T. Rowe Price Group Inc., the asset manager that has posted a profit every quarter since going public in 1986, dropped 1.8 percent as earnings fell.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 0.1 percent to 1,319.35 as of 3:45 p.m. New York time, after earlier declining as much as 0.5 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 43.67 points, or 0.3 percent, to 12,690.96 today.
The revised Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, would pay Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive debt on homes that have lost value. The government-owned companies so far have refused to reduce principal, citing cost. Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the government was "one step away" from completing talks on a voluntary debt swap and was negotiating with international creditors on the terms for a second financing package at the same time.
A gauge of banks rallied 1.2 percent, the biggest gain in the S&P 500 among 24 industries. Wells Fargo added 2 percent to $29.62. Regions Financial rose 2.3 percent to $5.29.
Economic Data
The rally in banks helped the market overcome earlier losses triggered by lower-than-forecast growth in the U.S. economy. Gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, climbed at a 2.8 percent annual rate following a 1.8 percent gain in the prior quarter. The median forecast of 79 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 3 percent increase. Growth excluding a jump in inventories was 0.8 percent.
Benchmark gauges rose earlier this week as Federal Reserve officials said they were concerned about the economy's lack of vigor two years after the recession ended, prompting a pledge to keep interest rates low at least until late 2014. The Fed also didn't rule out bond purchases to bolster the economy.
"Having the world's economic locomotive showing signs of strain is adding to investors concern worldwide," Jack Ablin, who helps oversee $55 billion as chief investment officer for Chicago-based Harris Private Bank, said in a telephone interview. "The GDP report creates doubt about how solid the recovery is. It's a very difficult environment to assess."
Earnings Season
The S&P 500 has risen 4.8 percent this year through yesterday, poised for the best January since it gained 6.1 percent during the first month of 1997, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Of the 169 S&P 500 companies that reported results since Jan. 9, 112 posted per-share earnings that beat projections, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Solar shares gained as chief executive officers from Suntech Power Holdings Co. and Trina Solar Ltd. said China may double its installations of solar panels this year, absorbing excess production that depressed prices and margins in 2011. Suntech added 6.8 percent to $3.46. Trina rose 7.4 percent to $8.68. First Solar Inc. climbed 12 percent to $45.73 for the biggest gain in the S&P 500.
Newell Rubbermaid Inc. gained 8 percent to $18.83. The maker of Sharpie pens and Graco car strollers reported fourth- quarter earnings of 40 cents a share, excluding some items, beating the average analyst estimate of 38 cents.
M&A Deal
Eastman Chemical Co. rallied 6.4 percent to $50.12 after agreeing to buy Solutia Inc. for about $4.7 billion, including debt, to drive expansion into higher-margin specialty plastics and chemicals. Solutia surged 40 percent to $27.36.
The S&P 500 Automobiles & Components Index dropped 2.1 percent, the most among 24 industries. Ford slumped 3.6 percent to $12.28. In the fourth quarter, the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker was hamstrung by a weakening European market and flooding in Thailand that wiped out profits in its Asian operations, Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth said today.
Chevron slid 2.2 percent to $104.28. Chief Executive Officer John Watson has been selling oil refineries and filling stations in Europe and Africa to focus on higher-profit crude production and gas-liquefaction projects.
T. Rowe Price retreated 1.8 percent to $59.93. Net income decreased 1.7 percent to $188.4 million, or 73 cents a share, from $191.6 million, or 72 cents, a year earlier, the Baltimore- based company said today in a statement. Earnings per share increased as the number of outstanding shares fell 2.7 percent. The average estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for profit of 69 cents a share.

HoopsHype Kevin Love rumors
"I haven't really said much. I'm just trying to be a part of this team as best I can to help us win," he said. "As far as getting into a rhythm it has been tough." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Kevin Love is trying to stay positive publicly, but his frustration within this system is beginning to show. Love is shooting .389, which would rank as the second-lowest shooting percentage of his career. The only time it was lower was 2012-13 when a broken hand limited him to just 18 games and he shot .352. His field-goal percentage in every other season has been at least 45 percent. Akron Beacon Journal
A few feet away from where Miller was talking, Love was explaining the infamous moustache sharpening routine with Irving and the unsourced speculation that he was already thinking about opting out and signing with the Lakers. "Whatever people assumed we were doing with our hands was about as true as me going to the Lakers next year," Love said. "I mean, I don't know why it was so hard for people to realize that we were actually curling our mustache. I guess because I had my fingers in the wrong place. Looking at the tape, film don't lie. It looks like we are doing something bad, but that wasn't the case. Going to the Lakers, I don't know where somebody got that." SB Nation
The Love-to-Los Angeles talk has dragged on for years and apparently the trade to the Cavs won't squelch it. Love laughed off the idea Friday, but the simple fact remains he most likely will indeed become a free agent this summer. The salary cap and looming television deal beg him to do it. This isn't meant to incite panic amongst Cavs fans. The organization only made the deal for Love after he chatted with owner Dan Gilbert, who left satisfied the Cavs had a long-term commitment from Love and the trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves quickly fell into place. Still today, the Cavs as an organization have no fears of Love abandoning the plan now. Akron Beacon Journal
So, yes, Love will most likely become a free agent at the end of the season. The Cavs knew this was coming when they traded for him. They surrendered quite a haul — two No. 1 overall picks and a third first-rounder, in exchange for one guaranteed season. Love and James' current contracts run parallel, and that is most likely going to continue throughout their years together. Both want to again be free agents prior to the 2016-17 season, when salaries could explode with the new TV deal. Akron Beacon Journal
When he was asked before Friday's game about his trip to Boston last summer and how much consideration he gave to joining the Celtics, Love gave an interesting answer. "It's tough because I wasn't a free agent last summer," he said. "I have the potential to be a free agent this summer or next, it's just one of those things. It [Boston] is obviously a tremendous city, people love it here, basketball, sports in general are huge here, but it's been fantastic being part of the Cavaliers now. We have a team that is formidable, has a big presence and we see a lot of you guys [the media] on a daily basis." Akron Beacon Journal
Kevin Love denied a report he's interested in joining the Lakers next season while poking fun at all the attention his handshake with Kyrie Irving has received. "Whatever we were doing with our hands was about as true as me going to the Lakers," Love said Friday. "Going to the Lakers, I don't know where someone got that." Akron Beacon Journal
A recap of the star's chat with the media early Friday afternoon: he loves Boston and considers himself a big fan of Brad Stevens, but knows he's lucky to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I love this city," Love said of his Boston tour, which made national headlines. "I always planned on coming back here, checking out Red Sox games. Growing up being a big Boston Celtics fan, it's fun to play here. And we're hoping to come in and get a win tonight against a team that's well-coached and has some young talent." Booth Newspapers
Love said he was unclear whether Boston ever qualified as a realistic possibility over the summer. "I don't know. It's tough because I wasn't a free agent last summer," he said. "Potential to be a free agent this summer or next. It's just one of those things. It's obviously a tremendous city; people love it here. Basketball and sports in general are huge here. But it's been fantastic being a part of the Cavaliers now. We have a team that's formidable, has a big presence, and we see a lot of you guys (media) on a daily basis." Booth Newspapers
Bob Finnan: #Cavs G Kyrie Irving said he'll continue to do postgame handshake with Kevin Love & "sharpen his mustache." "We're going to do it more now." Twitter @BobCavsinsider
The Cavaliers say a postgame handshake between All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were miming imaginary mustaches and didn't include them pretending to smoke a marijuana joint. Following Monday's win over New Orleans, TV cameras captured Irving and Love doing a choreographed handshake, which ended with the two players bringing their right hands to the corner of their mouths with thumbs and index fingers together. Some fans reacted on social media and blogs by saying they were imitating smoking a joint. NBA.com
Chris Haynes: #Cavs say Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving were sharpening mustaches at end of choreographed handshake. Some perceived it to be smoking a joint. Twitter @ChrisBHaynes
It's not going to get as much discussion during the season, but one of the biggest issues for the Cavs is that both LeBron James and Kevin Love own opt outs after this season. LeBron James basically cannot afford to go anywhere after his return to Cleveland. But watch out for Love. Indications are he will seriously consider the opt out and has his eyes on a return to Los Angeles, where he attended college and where the Lakers long have had him on their free agent wish list NBA.com
But, in an alternate universe, Hollins already could have been working elsewhere , had the Timberwolves — one of several teams, including the Lakers, that spoke to Hollins this offseason — worked out a deal with him. That didn't happen, though, and part-owner and team president of basketball operations Flip Saunders returned to the sidelines to coach the team instead, a decision Saunders said he made because of the uncertainty at the time surrounding the status of superstar forward Kevin Love. "We talked a lot about it," Saunders said before his Timberwolves beat the Nets 98-91 in Brooklyn. "I think Lionel is a great coach. … But that whole thing was because of the Love situation. There was too much of the unknowns. Lionel, he's a team who took a team to a conference finals, I thought that he was going to go to a veteran type team, and I couldn't guarantee him that would be this type of team. New York Post
Waiters' role with this team has been the most critiqued. Some believe that since there's no one on the bench capable of creating his own shot, the addition of Waiters in a reserve role would add a much-needed punch. In that role, he would be allowed the freedom to provide instant offense and play-making ability. I approached this theory to Waiters and he expounded on why it's not that simple. "I'm still going to be out there with two or three players," Waiters explained to NEOMG, referring to LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. "If I come off the bench in the first quarter, at least two of those guys are going to play the whole first quarter regardless. So it doesn't really matter. That's what people don't understand." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Portland's always where my heart is going to be. My immediate family still lives here. I love coming home. It's a place that I always have loved playing. I was looking at it today saying, 'This is the Rose Garden to me.' That's what I grew up with. It's a fun place to come and play, the crowd, the energy. The fans are always great, always tough but fun to play in front of. It's good to come home to Portland." Oregonian
"Mixed reaction. That's always going to happen. That's just how it goes sometimes. It gives me a good smile. I know I got a lot of supporters and a lot of people that really love the Blazers and love what they do. It's gonna be us against the world, everywhere we play. It's not only gonna be Portland because of me, we're gonna be taking everybody's best shot because of the talent that we have and we're one of the teams to beat in the league – as are the Blazers." Oregonian
"We won't name any names, but some other people maybe haven't done that in the past," Ruiter said about making a commitment to be in Minnesota. "We're really excited that he (Wiggins) wants to be not only a member of the organization but part of the community as well." CBS Minnesota
Kevin Love took a shot to the rib cage and sat out part of practice on Tuesday, but Cavs coach David Blatt said he will be fine for Thursday's opener against the New York Knicks. "We pulled him out, but he's OK," Blatt said. Akron Beacon Journal

Vote for Hope
11:21 am in Uncategorized by Leo W. Gerard
The electorate is bitter and angry. It's no wonder. Foreclosures rise while Wall Street bankers, whose recklessness caused this grave recession, grab million dollar bonuses. Unemployment is stuck at 9.5 percent, but corporations continue to ship jobs overseas.
The level of acrimony showed itself Monday in Lexington, Ky., when a group of men supporting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul threw a woman backing Democrat Jack Conway to the ground and stomped on her head.
This is not the hope America voted for in the fall of 2008. Now another election is upon us. On Tuesday, voters can choose candidates capitalizing on bitterness, or they can return to hope and provide time for change to play out. Voters can stay the course with the President whose basic philosophy is a Biblical one – that we are all our brothers' and sisters' keepers. Or Americans can empower Republicans who believe it's every man for himself, who espouse the view that a man's success is his own, and, equally, each man is solely responsible for all of his setbacks.
This midterm election is about how those disparate Republican and Democratic values will play out in legislation. Do Americans want to live in a Republican country that blames individuals for their unemployment in an economy creating only one position for every five jobless workers? Or do Americans want a country that lives by the Democratic philosophy that government must aid, not blame, the unemployed, that it must give a hand up, not a slap in the face, to the suffering? . . .

This Oracle tutorial explains how to use the Oracle/PLSQL NULLIF function with syntax and examples.
The Oracle/PLSQL NULLIF function compares expr1 and expr2. If expr1 and expr2 are equal, the NULLIF function returns NULL. Otherwise, it returns expr1.
The syntax for the Oracle/PLSQL NULLIF function is:
NULLIF( expr1, expr2 )
expr1 and expr2 must be either numeric values or values that are of the same datatype.
The NULLIF function can be used in the following versions of Oracle/PLSQL:
Let's look at some Oracle NULLIF function examples and explore how to use the NULLIF function in Oracle/PLSQL.
For example:
NULLIF(12, 12) Result: NULL NULLIF(12, 13) Result: 12 NULLIF('apples', 'apples') Result: NULL NULLIF('apples', 'oranges') Result: 'apples' NULLIF(NULL, 12) Result: ORA-00932 error (because expr1 can not be the literal NULL)

LONDON (AP) — Standing on Fulham's field next to the River Thames, Shad Khan quickly discovered that the issues Premier League owners must tackle extend far beyond soccer.
On his first full day running the London club, the trickiest questions Khan had to face were not about the cash available for new players, or goals for the upcoming season.

Capita were demonstrating their new iPhone/iPad SIMS app at BETT so give them a call.
At our school, all the registrations have been moved online registration with SIMS.net. However, the obvious problem here is the PE department who don't have access to PCs during their lessons. Does anyone know of a possible remote/electronic registration system that can work on something like a tablet or iPad by either by the teacher or biometrically by the kids finger prints, but must have SIMS integration.
Capita were demonstrating their new iPhone/iPad SIMS app at BETT so give them a call.
Yes Groupcall emerge - just been shown at Bett.
Looks quite good and syncs with Sims.
£299 for the first license then £99 per device after that each year.
EDIT: Been beaten to it but its the Groupcall product which capita where showing off
Thats what comes from being 300+ miles away during the demonstrations.
@Zoom7000 have you trialled this solution yet? Just we have had a similar request from our PE department now. Basically our SLT are hounding the PE department to register the kids electronically without taking a paper register first. The areas where they'd be using it don't all have a decent 3G signal but for one site in particular (our sports hall changing rooms) wifi would be a possibility.
We have been using laptops with wireless over in our PE sports hall to take the lesson registers for the past 5 years using both Sims.net client app and also through TS RDP internally.
Just works.
APs are Cisco 1430's and there are 4 to cover the whole of the sports hall they just work never had to touch them since setting them up.

For reasons that baffle me, a big deal is being made over someone photoshopping the president's face into a representation of The Joker from the The Dark Knight. The LA Weekly, eager to play the racism card says "the only thing missing is the noose."
Now, I can see if someone had taken a picture of President Obama and photoshopped whiteface for spite and without context, (or, for that matter, blackface as done here to Michael Steele) then one might have a credible case for crying "racism."
But this is making a clear reference to a known fictional character called The Joker, and there is clearly the word "Socialism" beneath the portrait. This is political commentary; whoever came up with it is using a familiar visual image, and giving us an actual word which delivers a two-point message: he or she thinks the president is a joke, and a socialist.
This -until very recently- used to be called "free speech." It is protected in this country, and thought very highly of. And protest or dissent, we have been told, is the very highest form of patriotism.
For that matter, using The Joker for political commentary has been done before, and more menacingly:
More reaction here:
"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says [Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari] Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."
We just went through 8 years of President Bush being called Hitler and photoshopped as Hitler, as Mussolini, as Saturn Devouring One of His Own Children.
Obama's predecessor endured 8 Years of Assassination Fascination. Actually, the "Assassinate Bush Chic" began even before the 2000 election, when Craig Kilborn flashed "snipers wanted" under a picture of Bush. So-called "newsmen" like Keith Olbermann repeatedly called the president "a fascist" and "a terrorist." And Obama supporters can't handle The Joker and the word "Socialism"?
Politics is ugly, and it is often over-the-top but that's not new. Photoshop happens; it's a free country. I myself have been photoshopped next to a dancing condom, a commentary on my annoying habit of being a Catholic.
Bob Owens amuses himself thusly:
Frankly, I don't get it. One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations. The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger.
Uh-oh. That sounds almost like a late-night talkshow sort of joke, doesn't it? Are late-night comics yet making those sorts of jokes about Obama, or is he still Obama-the-Unmockable? To be fair, the "hands-off-Obama" thing seemed to come out of Hollywood's own instinct to kneel, and not "by decree." Just as Bush managed to roll with the non-stop punches throughout his presidency, I think Obama is cool enough to roll with this little picture.
This Obama/Joker portrait is actually heartening to me. I may not have liked the press' incessant attacks on Bush, and some of the uglier media put out about him, but I never found any of that as worrying as I have found the unquestioning incuriosity of the Obama-press, or the inclination by some to treat him as something more than a mortal politician voted into office by the people. The self-censoring we have seen in media has been sad and a little chilling. More chilling than any of the pics used here.
Besides, Obama has his face plastered all over America. One of the newsweeklies has had him on the cover 12 times in 12 months. One little poster shouldn't get his supporters so hot and bothered. In the end, they might prefer it to this.
As Hillary Clinton famously yelled, "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, 'WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!'"
Free speech. It might be the very best thing about America, even when it irks.
