Your thoughts? This is a very good idea. It is a good place to post some of the very performance raising things like nptl and other things like that. I found some hints about it in the forum a few days ago. It was more something like random that i found it. I searced for something else. When there is a place for enhancing performance finding something like that would be much easier, i think. So I am looking forward to see that new section in the Gentoo - forum.

Fernandez joined the company in March to head up food safety, said Phillip Brooks, chief executive officer of the New Brighton, Minn.-based company.
H. Brooks moved into a new facility in April of 2001 that was set up for improved food safety practices.
The company has since installed new equipment and technology to improve its food safety and traceability, and wanted to bring on a staff member to oversee its capabilities, Brooks said.
The company's director of foodservice sales, Nina Brooks, was also honored this year by being accepted to the United Fresh Produce Association's Leadership Program. She is set to graduate from the program in 2011.
Minnesota Produce Inc. enters banana business
Minneapolis-based Minnesota Produce Inc. is selling bananas for the first time.
"We've started to sell a handful of Del Monte bananas," said Paul Piazza Sr., president. "This company's never sold a banana in its 50-year history."
Bananas were an ideal commodity to break into because Minnesota Produce doesn't have to worry about the logistics, Piazza said.
"They can get us out of Chicago overnight," Piazza said. "We don't have to worry about transportation."
The company is looking for new things to sell to further diversify its product offerings, he said.
C.H. Robinson supports Race for the Cure
Eden Prairie, Minn.-based C.H. Robinson is continuing its charitable work with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this year.
The company donated $126,000 to breast cancer research in 2009 through its Pink Ribbon Watermelon program, said Jim Lemke, senior vice president of sourcing.
At a Race for the Cure event May 8, the company passed out fresh-cut watermelon. It plans to do the same at a three-day national event later this summer.
Albert's Organics looks to expand, update
Bridgeport, N.J.-based Albert's Organics is looking to make some changes to its Mounds View, Minn., distribution facility.
The organic supplier and distributor is reviewing its needs for banana ripening capacity, as well as looking at adding on new refrigeration and freezer space, said Simcha Weinstein, marketing director.

Jan Stephenson earned one of her 16 LPGA Tour wins in Seattle at the 1987 Safeco Classic, so the Australian says she is looking forward to returning to the city that offers fond memories from her 30-year LPGA career.
Now a member of The Legends Tour, the LPGA's official tour for professionals age 45 and over, Stephenson will return to Seattle for the LPGA Legends Swing For The Cure tournament presented by MulvannyG2 Architecture. The tournament will be staged July 29, at Inglewood Country Club.
"I always played well in Seattle and I've got great memories there," said Stephenson, whose 16 LPGA titles include three major championships, including the 1983 U.S. Women's Open.
Stephenson's 1987 win in Seattle came during one of her most rollercoaster LPGA seasons. In the spring of that year, she was involved in an automobile accident that left her with four broken ribs and head injuries. But 1987 was also a year in which she won three tournaments and even jumped to the top of the LPGA's season money list.
"After that car wreck, I thought I'd never win again," said Stephenson, who earned more than $3 million on the LPGA Tour and recorded 14 international victories.
Stephenson lost to Nancy Lopez in Portland, Ore., during the week prior to the 1987 tournament in Seattle, but she defeated Lopez coming down the stretch at the Seattle event, and again held off Lopez to win the LPGA tournament the following week.
Always a Legends Tour fan favorite, Stephenson tied for third at this year's Walgreens Charity Classic in April, held in Sun City West, Ariz. She will challenge her peers again this weekend in Maine at the Tour's second tournament -- the Hannaford Community Challenge, presented by Kraft Foods.
The Australian recently became a Class A member of the PGA of America and is hosting an October celebrity tournament in Australia. She has designed golf courses in the United States and is currently involved in "Jan For Juniors," a non-profit organization that offers opportunities for young people in sports and academics.
The inaugural Legends Tour event in Seattle next month will feature an 18-hole professional challenge event with a purse of $150,000.
Other tournament headliners will be former LPGA stars Rosie Jones, Patty Sheehan, 2013 European Solheim Cup captain Liselotte Neumann of Sweden and Nancy Lopez.
Advance-purchase tickets are now available online by visiting http://www.thelegendstour.com/tickets/tickets_Seattle.htm .
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Puget Sound.
Tickets are $20 each for the tournament day, with children 17-under admitted free. Active military are also admitted free with a current ID.

Total tweets for February 5th Openers
Tuesday saw Dear John continue its torrid
pace on Twitter with 3,178 tweets. This lead to a very solid increase
from Monday of 50%, with little signs of its slowing down as the week
continues. To put the number into context, if I take out expanding
films already in release (Paranormal Activity) and films that were opening on a Wednesday (This Is It), this Tuesday number is the 4th largest I've seen since September behind New Moon, Avatar and Where The Wild Things Are.
No I don't expect it to gross more on opening day than any of them, but
it's interesting to see when a film captivates the heart of Twitter and
explodes. Continuing with my comparisons from yesterday, Jennifer's Body had 980 tweets on its Tuesday before release, and Whip It had 758.The film appears to be hitting not only the traditional
romantic comedy market of 18-45 women, but also a mix of younger teens and older 35+
who have clearly also embraced it which points to a breakout.
Tomorrow I'll take my usual early weekend prediction stand but as of
right now these numbers are pointing to a $10 million+ opening day.
From Paris With Love had a comparatively
underwhelming 530 tweets on Tuesday, up a smidge from yesterday's 509
tweets. It's not uncommon for films targeting more mature audiences to
have a slow patch mid-week, but the relatively low tweet total and
theatre count are working against it. In terms of comparisons, Surrogates had 450 tweets its Tuesday before release, Law Abiding Citizen had 697, Men Who Stare At Goats had 691, Armored had 162, and Edge of Darkness had 833. Its doing solid business, but there is no chance of a breakout
here. Looks like upside of $5 million for its opening day, but check
back tomorrow for our official estimates.
Check back tomorrow to see the Wednesday numbers and more comparisons.
Twitter tracking history. (For 2009's ratio history please check here.)
The ratio is the number of tweets per $1 million of
Friday Box Office gross. A film with 1,000 tweets and a $10 million
Friday would therefore have a ratio of 100. In general, films that
appeal to very young or older audiences have lower ratios since those
audiences are not big users of Twitter. By comparison, films that
appeal to younger audiences (18-35) have much higher ratios since those
audiences are much more active users of Twitter.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
My name is Missy and I am 2 years old. I lived with my young man since I was a kitten. He had to move and could not afford the exorbitant pet fee his new place charged. With a heavy heart he brought me to the humane society. I am ready for a new chapter of my life. DOB 5-16-11. POSTED MAY 23, 2013.
Other Pets at Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo, IL
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Geneseo Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Geneseo, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Geneseo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Geneseo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Geneseo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Geneseo paves the way for another one to be saved.

Streetsboro – Streetsboro City Schools (SCSD) has been offered the opportunity to rebuild all of the district's educational facilities. This opportunity comes from the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC).
According to Streetsboro City Schools Superintendent Dr. Tim Calfee, the district will build a new high school on the east side of the single campus location and will include an auditorium. The current high school building will be renovated and have an addition built and will then house a 6-8th grade middle school. The 4-5th grade Henry Defer Intermediate School will remain as is and the existing PreK-1 building will be renovated and have an addition built so it can then accommodate Prek-3rd grade. The existing middle school will be kept for district use such as for the indoor sports facilities as well as Board of Education offices and meetings, but the existing 2-3 elementary school will not be used as a school building.
According to the Master Plan that was presented in a public board meeting in April, the OSFC has developed a $69 million Master Plan. To fund this project, 35% of building costs will be covered by the state and the other 65% is to be covered by the local share. A portion of this local share was already funded, according to Calfee, by past building projects and the district has a credit to compensate the monies already spent updating buildings.
Because there is a credit for past constructions, there will be less cost to tax payers for this work. Calfee said the required levy could be on the ballots as early as this upcoming November, and that this project is currently expected to take about five years. He also said that at this stage the district is taking community input into consideration, so they have included a copy of the presentation regarding the Master Plan as well as a survey online at www.streetsboroschools.com. Additional feedback can also be provided at board meetings.

Walker Valley High School Key Club shared plans for upcoming projects during a recent Kiwanis of Cleveland meeting.
The club is partnering with UNICEF to eliminate tetanus.
"The tetanus largely affects newborn children in Third World countries whose families are too poor to afford sanitary flooring. When a baby is born on such dirty floors the tetanus is spread from the floor to the child," Key club president Blake Kitterman said.
The club is also raising funds for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
"As the Christmas season gets near, service projects are set in place," Kitterman said.
The club president said the students will participate in The Salvation Army's bell-ringing campaign and partnering with the school's marketing club to participate in Creating Christmas Memories."
WVHS Principal Danny Coggin said the school consistently had 250 to 300 students come out to help with the event.
Kitterman said the club hopes to partner with the Cleveland Key Club to complete a service project together.
"I want to thank you for your sponsorship of Key Club at Walker Valley High School," Coggin said.
He said the students do great things.
Coggin said service to the community has always been an emphasis at the school.
"We want the community to know that we are grateful for all that we have been given," Coggin said
Walker Valley High School's Key Club started with eight students and has grown to more than 20 participants.
"We have a bright future ahead of us because of you," Kitterman said.
Kiwanians also received an update on Walker Valley as a whole.
"This year we expanding … we are adding eight classrooms," Coggin said.
The additional classrooms will help accommodate a student enrollment that has doubled in size since the school opened.
"The good things about those eight classrooms is [they are] … tornado proof," Coggin said.
The cafeteria has also been expanded.
Coggin said the mission of WVHS is to make sure students know they have a firm foundation for life after graduation.
Graduates from WVHS attend colleges and universities across the country, attend military academies or go straight into the workforce.
Coggin said students need to be prepared to be leaders in the community.
According to the National Student Clearinghouse, 72 percent of graduates go onto college. Of those students, 80 percent return for their sophomore year of college.
The academy approach at the high school gives students a real world approach to academics. In their sophomore year, students choose from the business and medical, humanities or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) tracks.
"It has career connections. It has real world connections and it has college connections," Coggin said. "It gives students the opportunity to hear from students who think like they do, and those things help them learn better and help them grow."
Students can also receive an additional challenge by taking AP or dual enrollment courses.
The high school has a 95 percent graduation rate.

"These are very delicious and easy to make. Baking isn't my thing, so I'd never tried to make scratch biscuits before. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and these came out soft and flaky and crunchy and flavorful. I added rosemary and used most of the dough as chicken pot pie crusts, but I did make 4 biscuits with the leftover dough."
"These were so easy to make and were delicious! We added a little fresh lime juice in addition to the limeade to cut the sweetness a little and rimmed the glasses with green decorating sugar. They were beautiful and refreshing. Everyone raved about them!"
"Yum! Very easy and quick, ingredients that are always 'in stock,' and a perfectly satisfying rich, chocolatey taste. Ideal for nights like tonight, when I had one of those 'must have chocolate NOW' moments. I ate it on two bowls of strawberry frozen yogurt (hey--you try stopping after just one!) and a little right out of the pan with a spoon! I kn..."
"I made these for my sister's Oscar party and they went over so well! I changed the filling--I mixed blue cheese with cream cheese and garlic powder. I used the leftover filling to make a little igloo for presentation and it was great on crackers. Everyone commented that these were the cutest things they'd ever seen, and they were so easy to put..."
"This is so easy and very tasty! Right now I'm addicted to eating it warm spooned over sliced bananas. I eat it as a snack, as dessert, or as breakfast. Since I'm just cooking for me, the small batch is perfect! Thanks!"
"I got a last minute invitation to an Easter dinner party and I didn't think I'd have time to prepare anything to bring. I passed a roadside produce stand on the way where they were selling beautiful strawberries and remembered seeing this recipe. It was perfect. It was so easy to put together and looks and tastes so elegant! It was a huge hit ..."
"I've made this twice now, and I'm sure I'll make it many more times to appease the cravings for it I keep having! It's extremely tasty and easy, and as others have noted it's very adaptable to whatever ingredients you may have. I added celery, green beans, and mushrooms and served it with parmesan cheese. SO good!!!"
"Very good!! I have already eaten a few more than I intended to. I added cinnamon, which I was surprised wasn't an ingredient, and I think it added to the flavor. I also threw in some unsweetened applesauce. I might use a lower temp next time (they were a little charred) but I will doubtlessly make these again. And again. Great stuff!"

Anarchy in the Royal Family
Submitted by fiodax on Wed, 02/06/2013 - 15:12What do you think of the word "anarchy"? Does it have a negative or even evil connotation in your mind? Are you a Christian? Have you ever said "No King but King Jesus?" If so, and if you really mean it, then you are probably more of an anarchist than you realize.
Anarchy simply means "without a king". The context of anarchy is generally in a human sense, not a spiritual one, and the philosophy supporting it simply claims that no person has the right to claim ownership to another person. Kings claim ownership, often by divine right, always by force and coercion to not only your property but also to you. It is through this claim that they justify their right to levy taxes, make rules and enforce them with guns, conscript soldiers and slaves, and confiscate property.
In a Kingdom there are serfs, lords, and then there is the Royal family. The serfs are the population whose lives and property are the property of the king, they are not part of the Royal family and are not politically well connected enough to be a Lord. Serfs pay homage to the king via taxation, and are subject to the king's laws and decrees at the threat of violence. The Lords are the friends of the King who he has given land or privilege to, lords can also collect taxes on their lands and subject the serfdom on their lands to their laws. And then there is the Royal family, which should need no additional explanation, this is the king and his family.
That's all real interesting, but we live in America, we don't have a king, right? Well here's a test. Are you free to use your property as you see fit? How about your car, who needs those pesky tags right? Or your life? Are you free to not pay the taxes levied on the fruit of your own labor via the income tax if you don't agree with the policies of the government? Of course not. You are a serf. The Federal Government is the King, and the power brokers behind the scenes are the Royal family. Quite often the power brokers are literally families that have been in power for decades if not centuries who control the political and economic forces that are used to control us. In this kingdom the Lords are the corporations, who are given special privileges and access to the royal treasury and to the royal guard in order to protect and expand their property. We are the serfs, subject not only to the laws and decrees of the king with regards to taxation, conscription into military service, and obedience to untold number of regulations (decrees), but we are also subject to the will of the Lord's (corporations) as they use their special privileges to force us to accept their will in regards to the products and services we are given the choice to live by. This entire kingdom is predicated on the assumption that you are the property of the Federal Government. A powerful elite has set themselves up on the throne of God almighty and assumed ownership of you.
The word "anarchy" has been derided and redefined through our public (royal) education system, and through the mass media (royal propaganda), because it is a dangerous idea to the underpinnings of fraudulent kingdom you are being forced to participate in. If you were to consider the possibility that you belong to yourself, and that no other person has the right to claim ownership of you or your property, then you may experience what is called "cognitive dissonance" when your mind attempts to reconsile the idea of self ownership with the demands of your king to pay taxes, buy car tags, renew licences (what are we pets?), or participate in any other "mandatory" activity. Anarchist see the individual as not only owners of themselves, but also sovereign, and this sovereignty is in direct conflict with the sovereignty the government claims over you. In fact this is evidenced by the fact that they must use violence, or the threat of it in order to coerce you to obey their decrees. Violence and fraud are particularly repulsive to an anarchist because these kinds of acts are violations against the victims property and sovereignty. It is better for the "kings" if you remain ignorant, or even repulsed by the words and ideas of self ownership, because of where these ideas may lead your thinking.
Many Christians may shy away from the anarchist ideology because of the concept of self ownership. We are taught that we were purchased by Christ, and that we belong to God. But a closer examination of this idea will lead you to some interesting conclusions. We need to build a bit of a foundation to get there so lets take a look at these verses:
- Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them;"
It is clear that God establishes himself as the only God. We should place no other God (or King) before him. Nor shall we bow down to any idol, or symbol that is either representative of him, a human king, an animal, or any other thing. On this premise alone the claim of ownership upon you by a human King must be rejected.
- Revelation 21:3 :And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
The intent of God is to dwell with us, not to exist distantly separated from us. That he will live with us and be our God, and that his tabernacle will be with us.
- John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
God is a spirit, and must be interacted with as such. Our interaction with him must be according to his nature (spirit) and it also must be accurate (truth). Idolatry is wrong because it is an interaction with God via the physical, not the spiritual, it is neither spirit nor truth. Legalism is wrong because it is an intellectual interaction with him, it is truth, but not spirit. Mysticism is wrong because it is only a spiritual interaction, spirit but not truth.
- Luke 17:20 "Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." "
The kingdom that God rules over cannot be seen because it is spirit, like Him. If you can see the kingdom you are subject to, that is a pretty good indication that it is not God's kingdom and you are practicing idolatry.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19 it says: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
- 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"
Here is the establishment of God's ownership of us. An anarchist would cringe at this prospect. But as a believer we understand that God doubly owns us. He created us, and then he also purchased us at the Cross. This is how he established the Kingdom that we are able to live in with him. Our bodies are His tabernacle, and his dwelling place is not only among us, but within each one of us. He is "among" us because he is "within" me when I am near you, and you me.
- Galations 4:4 "But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir."
And now we see the radical departure of the traditional kingdom model. There are no serfs or Lords in the kingdom of God, only Royal family. God adopting us and and making us heirs. God's very nature living within and among us, our bodies serving as the physical location of his throne and temple. This is difficult to equate in terms of human government. Even if a human king were to adopt you and make you an heir, the human king still could not use your body to locate his kingdom, because the human king is human, physical, not spiritual.
As a Christian if I identify with the word "anarchist" I don't see how I can be violating any Christian principles, in fact, in order to be able to prepare my body to become the dwelling place of God, one of the first things I must do is deny any recognition of ownership by any other human being or object or idol. In fact if God not only owns me, has made me his son, and also dwells within me, to live as if my body were the property of any other power seems quite ridiculous.
Living life in this paradigm should radically change how we behave and interact with others. When we view others as tabernacles of God we can instantly see why the principles of anarchy become very important in our control of our physical bodies. Every individual is the physical manifestation of the spiritual presence of God. If a person commits an act of violence or fraud, or makes a false claim of ownership to another person or their property, they are in reality putting themselves in the place of God himself.
"No King but King Jesus?", yes, but you can't get there without embracing and understanding anarchy.

It doesn't have to be a single ruler...
The rulership could be an oligarchy...
A king is not always a ruler, look countries throughout history and today with royal figureheads and puppet monarchs. Nor rulers always kings...

Nice article.
I enjoyed your article, however I must disagree on the definition of anarchy. I've always perceived anarchy as meaning "without government or leadership". I think the whole idea of not having a government or some kind of leader scares a lot of people. Especially the people that doubt themselves as having the potential to lead themselves or make their own decisions; or are fearful that their neighbors, or other individuals, in a world without government or some other higher power to subject individuals to the rule of law, would hurt them in some way (physically, psychologically, etc.). However, I also think most people's definition of anarchy is "complete chaos" and I do applaud you for trying to show people how wrong that definition is. There is such a thing as a peaceful anarchist.
If ignorance is bliss, Washington DC must be heaven.

In other words , , ,
The idea of self-ownership and the self-responsibility that goes with it scares the crap out of people who prefer the security of being owned and looked after by a benevolent slave-master.
And the word "anarchy" has been re-defined to mean "violent chaos" by government schools and propaganda . . . which is pretty ironic, when you consider that government itself is the greatest agency of coercion (violence) extant. It's the oldest propagandist's trick in the book, accusing your enemies of your own crimes.

Excellent post, thank you! No wonder that since ancient times God has been a threat to "rulers". We know that GMOs are to alter humans but what effect do they have on our spirituality? We know that cloning is a stupid attempt to play God. Recently is has come out that the pineal gland is the seat of spirituality. Most of us have a calcified pineal gland becasue of the public water supply - fluoride. And big warehouses now spray food with even more fluoride. Call me crazy but if I drink beer I feel a little disconnected from God for a couple of days. I just know what's normal for me. How pathetic that there are those among us who wish to hold hummanity back. No King but King Jesus.

Anarchy means what people say it means
Stop being idiots. All meaning of all words is subjective. Got that? There are no laws of chemistry or physics or mathematics that would objectively state what anarchy is suppose to mean. None.
This word like every other word in our language means what people think it means.
So instead of wasting your and everyone else' precious time how about you stop behaving like a 5 year old and figure out instead how to best communicate the right IDEAS as opposed to a meaning of a word?
p.s.: And this is coming from a staunch anarcho capitalist.

There is however a colloquial
There is however a colloquial understanding of the concept. When you begin to discuss self-ownership, the dismantling of the state, and other concepts important to liberty the word "anarchy" inevitably comes up. Because of it's connotation within the minds of the propagandized public, the word acts as a sort of firewall or trigger, overriding the mind with emotion, shutting down rational thought, and protecting the propaganda by keeping the mind from exploring the idea.
So it is important to attempt to neutralize the emotional charge of the word so that the mind can be free to consider ideas that often exist within the context of its use.

From the sky back to the Earth
A fraudulent company had defrauded a customer (say, Smith) and left the state without a trace. After 6 months, an insurance company that covers detective work (Mr. Smith holds policy at) informs Mr. Smith that detectives had spent the upper limit of the insurance policy with no success. Mr. Smith has no money to hire private investigators to check if his insurance company or the detectives actually did their job or just pocketed money. In any case, he has no hope that the same wont happen again and again.
Anarchists are more dumb than socialists.

Do you believe that the majority of people
A. Want to cheat, steal, hurt, kill you?
B. That most people start from a baseline of good will, and mutually beneficial voluntary exchanges of goods and services?
From your assertions that the only outcome in society with out the state as a coercive monopolist of force and theft, is that somehow the state will recreate itself. That no one will oppose your mafia.
This is merely spreading the Hobbesian view of human nature, there are no good people in the world, and good behaviour can only be enforced by the gun of the state.
BS there are self reinforcing behaviours in a voluntary society. The main one being ostracism or exile. You are a bad actor and no one will deal with you. And if you obdurately persist in your wickedness then someone will use self defensive force and cap your ass.
People who believe in the state want to farm out evil to some faceless minion.
That is what is the logical conclusion to a belief in the state.

O the conceit of the pretence of knowledge, that there can be wise philosopher kings (har har har). Also that I believe that there are no bad actors in society(har har har).
You can live in your world of war of all against the all, very dark and depressing.
I will live in the real world, where the psychopaths and socio-paths are in the government and the majority of the people just want to be left alone to perform productive work with mutually beneficial voluntary exchanges of goods and services. Where there is everyday anarchy between people. You don't need a ruler to buy a cup of coffee, that is handled in a purely voluntary or anarchic manner.
The only utopian here is one who has swallowed the state propaganda from the government youth indoctrination camps.

When you
arrogate to yourself "we" or try to speak for the majority, you behave as a typical collectivist.
Your eyes are blurred from youtube clips. Now look at reality. Yes, 2% voted for capitalism. BUT:
1) 75% of American eligible voters are affirmative-action recipients (women + gays + some ethnic men.) They do not understand why you are so sexist demanding equal pay for equal work. They prefer equal pay by default.
2) 11 million of future Mexican citizens and their 44 mil future Mexican wives and kids do not understand why you are so racist against welfare and like capitalists so much.
3) Government workers, too, wont agree with you. They would say, it is your problem that you stay in private sector and have no pension.

I never spoke with the collectivist WE, I only spoke of thee and me and facts.
1) I'm from Missouri show me, Less than half the people eligible to vote in the last election actually voted. That shows people are not buying the states BS.
1a) So your grand plan is what? Reform the state? (har har har). The state is what enables the problem.
2) So the majority of immigrants come here for the freebies? Show me. I don't believe it.
3) Again what is your solution? Reform the state? (har har har). The state is what enables the problem.
The implied outcome is the status quo, You see no problem with the political philosophy of belief in the state.
I believe as Lysander Spooner said in "No Treason, Constitution of no Authority", that the constitution or the current state, either allowed the current awfulness, or it was designed to create it, and since I did not sign any contract for self destruction it has no authority over me.

My solution is not an optimistic one
Because it is not based on a "good Utopian man of the future" as anarchists and Marxists believe. The government is not a solution for economic problems but is needed to set universal rules the courts can decide upon. There is no recipe for a perfect contained small government, but our Constitution was a good start that could be improved step by step.
The problem is with people themselves. Ron Paul sadly did not study Ayn Rand enough and settled for Rothbard instead. Natural rights come not from god or nature, but from reason. Unless majority of the population (or majority of intellectuals) adapt RATIONAL MORALITY, no clever scheme for a free society will work as planned for a long time. I am sad to report to you that religious folks do not hold rational morality. It is a mixed bag.
- Login to post comments
WTH Rational Morality is not needed
In a society of self interested economic actors there is no need for any adoption of some mind set, only the following of your self interest.
>>>Natural rights come not from god or nature, but from reason. BS,
I own myself. That is where rights come from, property.
People that aggress against others soon find that it is their self interest to behave in a moral and ethical manner. This is called emergent behaviour. The other actors in the society reinforce those behaviours.
No good utopian man of the future (scorn) is needed. The problem is the belief that some people can behave better than the everyone else, and the deluded ones give them power to perform their evil.
Humans act to maximize their comfort. If they behave badly then other people acting in self defence will give them increasing levels of discomfort. The bad actors will either reform their behaviour or pass from this vale of tears.
PS I guess you believe in a prime axiom of marksmanship that a moving target is harder to hit. You keep changing the subject with no acknowledgement of my arguments.

I cannot debate every topic in this format
but I noticed that your arguments do rely on the need of rational mind. But I do not agree with your arguments. Let's take "Humans act to maximize their comfort." Your simplistic generalization without a real context reveal the weakness. Progressives DO act to maximize their comfort - USA let Chinese work for us. They do understand that many intellectuals would do comparatively (that is important, comparatively) worse without government jobs (say an idle astronomer.) They do understand that they do not live forever and their comfort today is more important than 15 years from now. Senior citizens agree too. Those who are receiving gov student loans agree too. Unemployed, too, would ask for help now even if inflation kicks later. MORALITY should not be overlooked.

Without the state all your examples fail
The chinese will realize that the paper tickets are worthless and will stop selling to people in America.
The other examples only work when the state makes you stay in their corrupt game.
If there are no state sponsored wealth transfers the bad behaviour will stop.
Humans have the ability to recognize that there is ethical and moral behaviour, which does indeed require rational thought. But it is not strictly necessary, it just goes better for the ones who can grok those concepts,
So we are back to the concept that the state facilitates bad behaviour.

OMG. If only anarchists could show how anarchism actually works, I would discard the government in a split of a second. But I have demonstarted above & below that anarchism cannot provide a basic security and will result in mafia controlled despair. Funny.
The other point you miss. Assume anarchism works. If new generation adopts a new collectivist idea, nothing could stop the majority from creating a new government if they believe it will benefit them personally (say, they re-interpreted Jesus and spiritual stake is higher than material.)

This week's writer is Bill Schubart, a Vermont entrepreneur, author and commentator on VPR. He writes about Vermont and the nation in fiction, humor and opinion pieces.
There's some discussion these days about the survival of free-market capitalism. Conservatives believe it suffers from too much regulation and taxation, while liberals believe it needs more of both.
VERGENNES — An Oct. 15 debate on economic issues has been scheduled for the 14 candidates in contested Addison County elections for the Vermont House of Representatives.
The public is invited to the Vergennes Opera House at 7 p.m. this coming Wednesday for an event scheduled to last 90 minutes.
The co-sponsors of the event, the Addison County Economic Development Corp. (ACEDC) and Vision to Action Vermont (V2AVT.org), are referring to it as a forum.

This week's writer is Bruce Lisman of Shelburne, a native Vermonter who founded Campaign for Vermont following a career in the financial services industry. Campaign for Vermont is an independent policy and advocacy organization.
VERGENNES — About 100 Vergennes-area residents gathered at the Vergennes Opera House on Wednesday and pledged — with the help of the Vermont Council on Rural Development — to improve the city's economic climate, Otter Creek river basin, and transportation infrastructure.
This week's writers are Annie Noonan, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor and Lisa Gosselin, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic Development. Gosselin is married to Addison Independentpublisher Angelo Lynn.
Editor's note: This letter was written in reply to a letter in the Burlington Free Press (Jan. 9, Page 2c), in which University of Vermont economics professor Art Woolf proposed that Vermont increase its population in order to decrease unemployment.?
MIDDLEBURY — Agriculture is one of the key supports in the economy of Addison County.
Middlebury dairy farmer Bob Foster was part of a four-member panel organized and moderated by Bruce Lisman of the Campaign for Vermont, or CFV, that spent the snowy evening of Feb. 19 at the Ilsley Library discussing how to improve economic security and prosperity for everyone.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont Gas Systems and International Paper Co. on Wednesday announced a $70 million pact through which the South Burlington-based utility would supply natural gas to the paper company's Ticonderoga, N.Y., mill as soon as 2015.
The agreement, contingent on approval by the Vermont Public Service Board, calls for a 10.5-mile pipeline to be built under Lake Champlain as an offshoot of the Addison Natural Gas Project that has already been pitched to extend natural gas service south from Chittenden County into Vergennes and Middlebury.
FERRISBURGH — About six years after the developers of the Pierce Woods received Ferrisburgh and state permits for their 21-lot planned residential development (PRD) off Stage Road, the lots have yet to be formally marketed.
But that status for what is the second-largest housing subdivision ever approved in Ferrisburgh could change in the coming months, according to town resident David Shlansky, one of the principals in the company that owns the land and is developing it.
VERGENNES — Challenges remain for the vitality of the Vergennes economy, said several downtown merchants and board members of the Vergennes Partnership, but there are reasons for at least cautious optimism.
A number of empty downtown spaces are now being filled, some after long periods of vacancy, and shopkeepers said after a summer of weather-related setbacks business seems to be picking up.

- Posted by destin_gardener 8-B/9-A (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 0:19
Has it always looked like that? It doesn't look like it has been fed, not much growth on it. Did it suffer any drought or freeze damage? What is the soil like? Is it getting enough to drink as well? |
Hubby has a drip-ooze soaker type hose around it and gives it water once or twice a week (he's not here right now to ask, sorry). It does fill out a lot more than what you see. The soil was clay, which we dug out (a wide and deep area) 20 years ago and mixed with other soil and amendments and nutrients. Hubby uses those "stakes" for citrus food, and has also used some Miracle Gro. No recent drought or freeze damage, although we did have an uncommon superhot spell for 3 days recently. Any idea as to what's wrong with the lemons? Some are perfect, but some are like in the photo. What's the normal life span for dwarf Meyer lemon trees? TIA for any help, |
- Posted by destin_gardener 8-B/9-A (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 8:45
Those may just have been harvested late, (they look kind of dried up, or old). Lemons tend to be long lived, even the Meyer. I'm more concerned about the overall health of the tree than what the lemons it is currently producing look like. You might try feeding it some additional high nitrogen fertilizer, and a little more water; doing some pruning to promote new growth wouldn't hurt either. |
- Posted by greenman28 Nor Cal 7/8 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 11:53
I agree with Destin's recommendations. Water, fertilizer, and pruning when it begins to bounce back. I would avoid the fertilizer spikes. I've never seen them do good, but I've known them to cause harm. Deep, slow soaking, once a week (maybe twice during the hottest part of summer). Josh |
Thank you both for your very helpful suggestions!! Smiles, Sooz |
Please avoid the fert spikes. I use the Vigoro brand citrus fertilizer from Home Depot with very good results. I also dump used coffee grounds and leftover coffee onto my Meyer Lemon and Clementine orange that is in-ground and they seem to love it. |
Thanks for the recommendation, Ashley! Sooz |
You might also want to remove all the other plants(weeds?) growing under the drip line of the tree as they may be competing for available moisture. I'd be tempted to continue to amend the soil by adding some organic matter into your soil (humus, etc.) Be careful not to cultivate deeply into the soil as citrus roots are near the surface. Then I'd mulch the area beneath the tree. (Note you don't want the mulch up against the tree nor do you want to dramatically increase the soil level) As suggested above, you can prune back to strong growth and might consider increasing your watering (when you do water--water deeply). I usually feed with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants. You may just have a really hot and arid microclimate for in that particular area of your yard. tGood luck! |

I plant Alysum, peppermint, garlic, et cetera, below many of my fruit trees. You might want to pull the plants away from the trunk by a foot or so, however. Josh |

Hate to be a contrarian here, but I have the same tree and have seen those symptoms before. If it is thin on leaves and you have some yellowing, that is an indication that it is getting too much water. Consequently, the fruit quality is affected. I assume you planted the tree when it was significantly smaller and that you dug out the hole twice as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Having grown over many years, the roots may have reached into the clay layers which hold water very well and may be causing root rot. At this point I would suggest just leave it alone and dont water it for several months. If you are ambitious and must do something, 2-4' near the tree auger down as deep as even 4 feet to check the moisture level. Make sure to go slow as to not break any pipes. If you find that it is muddy down to that level, you will need to find a way to drain that area. |

Anvil Storage Utilities
Version and / or Patch Used: RC6
So what is Anvil Storage Utilities? First of all, it's a storage benchmark for SSDs and HDDs where you can check and monitor your performance. The Standard Storage Benchmark performs a series of tests, you can run a full test or just the read or the write test or you can run a single test, i.e. 4K DQ16.
Anvil Storage Utilities is not officially available yet but we've been playing with the beta for several months now. The author, Anvil on several international forums has been updating the software steadily and is adding new features every couple of months.
The software is used several different ways and to show different aspects for each drive. We've chosen to use this software to show the performance of a drive with two different data sets. The first is with compressible data and the second data set is incompressible data. Several users have requested this data in our SSD reviews.
0-Fill Compressible Data
Incompressible Data
Vector 150 performs the same regardless of the data type used. Here we see a test with compressible data and incompressible data.
Read IOPS through Queue Depth Scale
We are surprised to see QD1 read performance decrease with the new model. Toggle flash is usually the way to get near 10K read IOPS at QD1. IOPS scale well through the queue depth range and finally peak in this test at roughly 78K.
Scaling Write IOPS through Queue Scale
The original Vector put all other consumer SSDs to shame with its massive write IOPS especially at low queue depths, even the Samsung 840 Pro. The Vector 150 120GB lost 4K IOPS performance after the migration to 19nm Toggle flash - it's a bit disappointing.

Through October the bridge gallery has an exhibit on the centennial of the University of Hawai´i. It has five topics, plus an introductory essay just inside the bridge from phase II on the left hand side.
The two wall cases feature "Intellectual Life" at the University and the transition "From Agricultural College to University System." The single floor case on the mauka side and the wall space is "Visions and Realities" with various campus plans in the floor case and a series of seven aerial photographs of campus from 1920 to 2001. The two floor cases in the makai/Ewa corner of the gallery feature "Faculty and Students" and "Athletics."

From Sea to Shining Sea: 200 Years of America's Coast Survey
NOAA's 200th Celebration in 2007 will highlight the rich history of science, service, and stewardship provided to the American public by NOAA and its predecessors. There are many great stories to tell, from the founding of the U.S. Survey of the Coast by Thomas Jefferson to the present-day activities of an agency dedicated to the protection, management, and understanding of our ocean, coasts, and skies.
In 1807, President Thomas Jefferson founded the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (as the Survey of the Coast) to provide nautical charts to the maritime community for safe passage into American ports and along our extensive coastline. The Weather Bureau was founded 1870 and, one year later, the U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries was founded. Individually, these organizations were America's first physical science agency, America's first agency dedicated specifically to the atmospheric sciences, and America's first conservation agency.
The cultures of scientific accuracy and precision, service to protect life and property, and stewardship of resources of these three agencies were brought together in 1970, with the establishment of NOAA, an agency within the Department of Commerce.
Today, in 2007, we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the establishment of which set in motion a 200-year legacy of science, service, and stewardship.
The Celebration:
The 200th anniversary of the Coast and Geodetic Survey is an opportunity for us to honor our heritage by celebrating our innovative and dedicated people, programs, and services. Throughout the year, we will look back and celebrate our past, take stock of where we are in the present, and consider the possibilities that lie in our future. The anniversary is also an opportunity for NOAA to share our story with the American people, linking our past, present, and future contributions to the health and vitality of our nation. [NOAA: Celebrating 200 years. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. http://celebrating200years.noaa.gov/about.html Accessed 5 July 2007.]
An exhibit made up of panels and exhibit items will be on display in the Hamilton Bridge until September 2007.

This exhibit highlights the scope of our really wonderful collection of materials on orchids. Included are examples of society newsletters, conference proceedings, field guides and floras, botanical art books, books on orchid growing and on orchid breeding, and books on the botany and ecology of orchids. The exhibit also includes a special selection of books from our Rare Book collection.
A collection of this breadth and depth does not develop overnight. Eileen Herring, the current selector for botany and horticulture, has been actively developing this collection for the past twelve years, but much credit goes to previous librarians and to faculty members in horticulture. According to a 1995 article by Paula Szilard in Na Okika O Hawaii, the first orchid book purchased for the UH Manoa Library was the second edition of American Orchid Culture which was added to the collection in 1939. Several major purchases of orchid books were made during the 1940s and the collection was again expanded considerably in the 1960s and early 1970s. Paula Szilard was responsible for greatly improving the collection while she was the horticulture subject specialist. In 1994, she worked with Dr. Yoneo Sagawa to transfer the orchid publication collection of the Lyon Arboretum library to UH Manoa Library. Dr. Sagawa also arranged a number of exchange relationships with orchid societies throughout the work, greatly expanding our collection of orchid society newsletters. In 2004, the Library received a major gift of rare orchid books from the J.H. Beaumont Orchid Research Library of the Tropical Plant & Soil Sciences Department, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources.
Did you know that dendrobium and oncidium cut flowers and potted plants were three of the top 10 floriculture and nursery crops in the state of Hawaii? Researchers at the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources continue to work on improving quality and performance of the plants available to our local growers. One part of the exhibit highlights the research and publications of faculty of the College.
Thanks to the many people who assisted me in the development and installation of this exhibit: Stu Dawrs, Milton Mukai, Debbie Dunn, Susan Johnson, Merlita Nazareno, Kris Anderson, Miles Hakoda in CTAHR´s publications office, and Dr. Sagawa´s assistant.

Scattered across a vast expanse of water as wide as the continental United States are over twenty-one hundred islands that make up the cultural region known as Micronesia. The area includes three major archipelagoes: the Marshalls, Carolines, and Marianas.Having passed through colonial rule by the Spanish, Germans, and Japanese, the islands of Micronesia became a United States administered United Nations strategic trusteeship following World War II. This new arrangement was named the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI).
Beginning in the 1970s the districts began voting to end the trustee relationship with the US In 1986 the US notified the UN that its obligations were fulfilled. The UN officially dissolved the Trust Territory in 1990. Palau, the last of the Trust Territory districts, voted to end its trustee status in 1994.
Today the Former Trust Territory is comprised of four separate, self-governing districts:
- The Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas
- The Federated States of Micronesia, comprised of Kosrae, Pohnpei (Ponape), Chuuk (Truk), and Yap
- The Republic of the Marshall Islands
- The Republic of Palau (Belau)

First off, these shoes do not belong to me...I took this picture back in 2006 at the Sole Collector Las Vegas Finale. There was a guy named Joe Iqbal that had a table with some ridiculous size 9 Sample heat. He wasn't a competitor there, but more of a special guest per se. He lived in Las Vegas at the time, and from I hear, has close ties to Gentry Humphrey. I spoke with him at the event for a little bit, and he definitely seemed like a nice guy!
They are basically TrueBlue III Samples from 2000, but with a blue-ish hue on the elephant print panels. The quality on these were top notch, and the ankle collar had a similar feel to a 94 Retro III.
Happy #ThrowbackThursday!

Soil Fusaria from Oil Palm Habitats in Malaysia
Ho, Y. W. and Varghese, George (1985) Soil Fusaria from Oil Palm Habitats in Malaysia. Pertanika, 8 (3). pp. 331-336.
3671Kb |
Fusarium species were isolated from 22 sampling sites in 4 oil palm plantations located in different regions of Peninsular Malaysia using Peptone-PCNB medium. Eight species and two varieties of Fusarium viz., F. solani, F. oxysporum, F. oxysporum var. redolens, F. semitectum, F. moniliforme, F. moniliforme var. subglutinans, F. equiseti, F. longipes, F. lateritium and F. heterosporum were isolated. Among these, F. solani and F. oxysporum were the most prevalent species followed by F. semitectum and F. moniliforme. The other 5 species and 2 varieties of Fusarium were of sporadic occurrence. Generally, soils from areas with young palms had larger number and greater variety of Fusarium species when compared to soils from mature and old palm areas. The rhizosp here soil contained a greater variety of Fusarium species than soils in the avenue of palms (non-rhizosphre soil).

Energy Systems and Infrastructure
Energy Informatics
Energy Informatics is the application of information technologies to integrate and optimize current energy assets such as energy sources, generating and distributing infrastructures, billing and monitoring systems, and consumers.
The Center for Energy Informatics (CEI) is an Organized Research Unit (ORU) housed in the Viterbi School of Engineering, dedicated to not only improving and expanding Information Sciences as they relate to energy but also cultivating the future workforce for the emerging energy economy. The project concentrates on software engineering, data management and integration, social computing and behavioral studies, and system and security. The CEI focuses on creating a dialogue between industry leaders and researchers in the Information Sciences field in order to successfully find viable solutions to the world's energy problems.
Currently, the CEI is working on two research projects that will improve oilfield and energy grid operations and technologies: Integrated Asset Management (IAM) and the Demand Response Optimizations for SmartGrid. The CEI works in collaboration with the USC-Chevron CiSoft effort, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and USC Facilities Management.
Integrated Asset Management (IAM)
This project focuses on applying core computer science concepts to develop an improved knowledge and workflow management aptitude for oilfield applications by exploring a wide variety of oilfield domains such as software architecture, distributed and grid computing, artificial intelligence, semantic web, data integration, and services computing. The goal of the IAM project is to create an integrated and intelligent oilfield while offering graduate students the opportunity to expand their work experience and knowledge about oilfield applications in the energy informatics sector.The IAM project is a joint USC-Chevron CiSoft effort that includes a project team of computer scientists from USC, domain experts from Chevron, and technology advisors from Microsoft and Avanade.
Demand Response Optimizations for the SmartGrid
This project focuses on enabling people to manage their energy consumption during peak demand periods in order to decrease the growth in energy demand that is threatening the stability of electric grids and its current infrastructure. By researching the areas of semantic web, integration and analysis of high throughput data, large scale and distributed computing, and social computing which provide various strategies like variable energy pricing and other incentives, it is possible to find the appropriate optimization techniques to successfully manage and regulate energy consumption.The Demand Response Optimizations for SmartGrid project works in collaboration with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and USC Facilities Management.
- Develop intelligent and improve upon existing oilfield technologies.
- Improve energy consumption management and decrease the growth of energy consumption.
- Train the future workforce for the emerging energy economy.
