Don't Stymie Nanotech
Reality (352 comments)
It's going to happen. If it's banned it'll happen in secret government labs (not in the US of course as they honour all their treaties) and out of the way countries.
If it does go wrong, or is abused, chances are the only solution will be better nanotech than is threatening us. Are you sure you'd rather it wasn't looked into?
p.s. still laughing at the idea of the US government honouring a treaty. Should keep me smiling all day that one....

Spontaneous miscarriage is not the result of a willed choice on the part of the woman. It's just the way the human body naturally works. When you engage your free will to actively end a life, however, that's when you're on the wrong side of the line.

In a way, you're absolutely right. In others, not so much.
Re:Are you kidding (818 comments)
Adding my support to P/GP. The Catholic Church is much more concerned for and supportive of the poor and disadvantaged than she gets credit for. But somehow we get lumped in with the worst that the Protestants have on offer after doing 2000+ years of philosophical inquiry into what it means to be a human being.
The main thing is that Catholics who are faithful to the teachings of the church do not fit anywhere in the narrowly-defined left/right spectrum that people use to try to understand politics in the US. Speaking for myself, I can't throw my support behind any party currently on stage. I tend to agree with the Libertarians because that direction gives the best chance for dismantling the centralized power structures and implementing something more in line with the principle of Subsidiarity. I'd encourage anyone who's tired of the choices we've been presented with over the last few decades to have a look at Distributism.
Re:They could afford the talent with enough money (341 comments)
The system is upside down. The people with the most power should live locally and be elected locally.
Couldn't agree with you more on that one. One of the reasons I'm such a big fan of Distributism.

Living in Alabama, I have to wonder if some states have the maturity to be responsible for their own governance... I'm convinced that the only reason we have Interstates is that the Feds paid for all of it. And I say that as a believer in States' Rights... I just don't know how to let states have completely free rein and still have a decently uniform standard of living across the nation. Heck, we don't even have a uniform standard of living now...

When they actually pay that rate without using dodges and loopholes... Let's be honest here. The middle class doesn't have the same access to accountants and lawyers, so appealing to the rate is meaningless if you're trying to argue that the plutocrats are paying just as much as the average worker.

Refusing to authorize a raise in the debt ceiling would create a situation where the President is legally bound to do two different things (he MUST spend the money, but he's NOT authorized to do so).
For whataever reason it's being done, my impression is that this administration no longer feels legally bound to much of anything if it's not in the interests of those in charge.

So basically exactly the same argument for creating a monopoly across the wireless spectrum that was used to create monopolies across wired infrastructure. Look at the history of electrical and wired telephone rollout... Everything went fine until--
The monopolies lobbied for and got deregulation. Now there is no accountability and we get to either accept it or not have electricity and telephone communication.
Look, I get the economic benefits of centralizing. But to pretend that the monopoly formed will stay regulated in perpetuity flies in the face of history. In fact, given the way change has accelerated, I wouldn't give you a decade before a scheme became corrupted.

Re:wrong? (296 comments)
This is what I like about Slashdot. I can always find something new to learn. You're right that I've been guilty of prejudice in thinking that nihilism and solipsism were the position that modern atheism is based on. I see that in assuming that, I've disrespected you and many other people. I apologize sincerely for that. Equally so, I respect the amount of thought that you've put into this conversation and thank you for taking the time to discuss this rationally. And I agree totally with the distinction of society and government/corporate power that you elaborate here. My wording was imprecise. However, corporate interests appear to be driving the overall culture, and don't see that culture respecting individuals the way you so eloquently describe it.
That being said, you seem to be much smarter than me as well as much better read, so you've got plenty of firepower at your disposal that I don't have the capability to answer. My only choice at this point is to say, "Well played, sir."
I don't reject outright the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or godlike pink unicorns. The universe is simply too large and we don't know nearly enough about it for me to be arrogant enough to reject even the possibility of such things. I believe in a God that loves each and every one of us as a child made in His image and likeness. A God that only wants the best for us, despite the poor choices we insist on making. Now I know that the Old Testament seems to refute that, but if you asked a child to write a story about their parent after being punished for unacceptable behavior, you wouldn't get a very flattering result either. Christ's coming was an attempt to rescue us from childish behavior and clarify God's nature which we have consistently misunderstood.
I've come to this belief in God by way of personal experience, and of course I can't expect anyone to accept that as evidence. Being cured of an addiction to pornography instantly and completely after deciding that you're lonely enough to return to the church you were raised in has a way of doing that to a guy, though. I know how weak it looks, but this belief is what I need to get through each day without shutting down due to the pointlessness of it all. Your mileage appears to vary.
There's a few things that I don't understand, though, and I'd be interested to see what your answers are.
1) If the Golden Rule is completely sufficient for deriving what is moral versus immoral behavior, then is it morally justified for a masochist to torture someone or a suicidal person to commit murder? The wording I'm familiar with doesn't contain exceptions for deviant ways of wanting to be treated. Also, the fist-swinging wording doesn't seem to allow for self-defense the way I understand it.
2) When does human life begin? At what point does the Golden Rule start applying? Biologically speaking, human life begins at fertilization but there seems to be some controversy over when that life becomes worthy of being treated like a person.
3) How is "Life has value because life values itself" not a tautology? Because my understanding was that basing an argument on a tautology is a logical fallacy. And even if it's not a tautology, it does appear to assume itself and thus beg the question. I'd appreciate being corrected on this matter.
Again, well played, sir. I wish you all the best in life.
Re:wrong? (296 comments)
Ok, good. Now we're getting somewhere.
I'll lay my cards on the table here. Postmodern philosophy (if you're intellectually honest and you follow things to their logical conclusion) eventually leads one to conclude that nihilism and solipsism is the only rationally defensible position. And if you've done that, we're done with the conversation because we're not playing on the same board. That's the limit of rational truth in this universe. I believe Gödel incompleteness was mentioned earlier, and that's absolutely true. If you choose to only believe rational truths and reject faith in unprovable truths, we have no basis for argument.
But I suspect that a lot of people are uncomfortable with that. Something inside us doesn't like those choices very much. You can come up with all sorts of rationalizations to comfort yourself, but if you're interested in nothing but rational truths that's the road you're led down. Now you can argue that belief in God is just another of those rationalizations, and you wouldn't be logically wrong in thinking that. But that doesn't make it any less valid of a coping method than any other you could come up with (such as ignoring the problem altogether and not thinking through the logic). So the hostility of some atheists towards religious is not the result of an honest search for the truth, in my opinion.
Now points 1 and 2 I concede. It's a symptom of stereotyping, and also assuming that anyone who's honesty searching for truth yet trying to take God out of the picture must necessarily have followed the logic all the way to nihilism. But those don't really hurt my argument.
Now as to the value of human life, something either has value or it doesn't, yes? Ignore intrinsic vs. extrinsic for a moment. Something either has value or it doesn't. If the value is extrinsic, in other words, dependent on circumstance, then it's not guaranteed to be there at all times. Value can be reassigned or taken away. Only if value is intrinsic does it stay no matter what the external circumstances are. That's why I believe objection #3 is invalid. Once again, if you're all way down the road to nihilism, it doesn't matter and nothing I say is going to make a difference anyway.
Now the question of value is important because the Golden Rule is not a reality in itself but is dependent for meaning on whether or not you value other individuals enough to take their well-being into account. There doesn't seem to be any rational basis for the belief in inalienable human rights (as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence) other than the intrinsic value of human life. I'd be happy to learn of any other logically supported grounds for our rights as individuals. So if inalienable rights depend on the value of human life, they can't be inalienable if based on extrinsic value and can be taken away due to external circumstances. So inalienable rights depend on intrinsic human value. Now again, if you're a nihilist or a solipsist, then the Golden Rule doesn't really apply to you anyway, right? You just prefer to live that way, you're not rationally required to.
Now as to #4, I would be interested in other suggestions for another basis for the value human beings such that there is a rational argment for the existence of individual rights. My life experience has led me to make the leap of faith that my theology is a sufficient basis. Given other arguments for the existence of God and none against other than "you can't prove it!", it seems to me that Occam's razor favors that notion.
So here's the bottom line. Our society has lost focus on the value of individual human life and has cheapened it to such an extent that we're all just cogs in a bureaucratic machine, easily replaced and only valued as long as someone's making money off it. So yeah, you're absolutely right about the dismal state of affairs regarding lawyers. It wasn't intended to be this way, as evidenced by the writings of the founding fathers. There was a belief that self-government of individuals was an inalienable right. That right has been usurped as we've forgotten the value of human life over the desire for short-term satisfaction.
So to bring things back around... All of the crap that the government has been pulling behind our backs, all the lying and unconstitutional behavior, has as its root cause the lack of respect for the value of individuals. Until we get that back, we might as well bend over and take it or go all French Revolution in reverse because we won't be able to recover what made this country great over the years.
Re:wrong? (296 comments)
Well, just enumerate off the top of the list, then. I'm interested in exactly what erroneous assumptions I've made. Or are you full of it?

This woman speaks with a forked tongue. James 1:8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. She reminds me of a spoiled brat having a tantrum when it doesn't get it's way. That's how she was behaving when Obama took the lead. If she were to be our president, consider our goose cooked! I am for Obama, because of his impressive resume', and what he represents, change.

Andre Johnson to have MRI on ankle
LANDOVER, Md. -- Texans receiver Andre Johnson will have an MRI exam on his sprained right ankle after injuring it Sunday, leaving the game, then returning to make a tying, fourth-down touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter of Houston's 30-27 victory over the Washington Redskins.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
"We're going to go in, look and see what we find. I don't think it's nothing real bad, because the ankle didn't swell up on me since I played on it," Johnson said. "I think I should be fine."
Johnson limped off the field late in the third quarter after getting his foot turned one way while his body went the other getting hit as he grabbed a pass.
"I was a little discouraged. I was running around on the sideline. Wasn't feeling too good at first," Johnson said.
But he got his ankle heavily taped, then was back in the lineup in the fourth quarter.
Johnson finished with 12 catches for 158 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown reception on fourth-and-10 with 2:03 left in regulation that made the score 27-27.
"They came and told me he was done. He had a pretty good ankle [injury]. I think we were down by seven and they were fixing to kick a field goal at that time, so it didn't look good. We block the field goal. He had them re-tape him. He walked over to me and said 'I'm playing,'" Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "He tells me he's playing, he's playing."

If I buy anymore fabric for a while! I decided to reorganize my fabric today...well I am a few shelves short! I have been picking up fabric at estate sales and thrift shops lately and just piling it under the longarm frame...well it is still there because I have no room on my wall to wall built-in shelves! Those shelves are 8 feet tall and 12 feet wide and 2 feet deep. So I guess I need to make a bunch of quilts. LOL Jackie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had decided a while ago not to buy anymore until I whittle down the stash. It is a challenge but I am working on it. I don' t have as much shelving as you do but what I have is filled. Good luck! Theresa |
Jackie, I'll be happy to come visit you! And I promise I'll bring an empty suitcase! :) Donna |

I sure identify with you. Thank heavens for plastic tubs. I still have lots but when it is organized, people think you are supposed to have that much! |
Jackie, don't curse your stash! I'm not wishing bad things on you, but there may come a time that for whatever reason you either can't afford to buy new anymore or can't get out, etc. You are going to be so grateful for it. When I was working it was nothing for me to go out almost weekly to buy however much I wanted, but now the only time I buy new is when I get a gift certificate or when I need to buy yardage for backing, which lately I've been using stash to piece together anyways. I've still got fabric in the stash, and last year I was given a bunch. I've been making scrap quilts all year with it. I do occasionally buy the wide muslin by the bolt when it's on sale, too. This quilt that I am now quilting is all from my stash, with sashings of scrap strips. I'm doing the strip piecing on paper method from Bonnie Hunter. The only new fabric in it is the border, which I bought with a gift certificate I got for my B-Day. |

I am not cursing my stash as much as cursing myself for being out of control! I understand that when I reach retirement, I will not be able to buy like I do now and really have planned on that. I have also been making scrap quilts lately. It seems the more scraps that I use, the more that I have. I think those things breed sometime in the night! I love scrap quilts though and want to use up most if not all of my scraps before cutting into yardage. |
Jackie, you are right! I've been making scrap quilts, too, and somehow even after I cut a bunch of pieces from scraps I still put scraps back into the stash. How does that work? LOL It's like the loaves and fishes sometimes. Donna |
Maybe that's God's way of treating us in our old age!! Miracle stash!! But shush - don't tell the younguns, make them spend their money just like we did! Someone has to keep the fabric shops open enough for when we have to buy something! I mean, occasionally we do like a special fabric treat or thread, or batting or something. |

Ahhhhh, Jackie. You will appreciate all that fabric once you retire. My mission for the last few years was to use as much from my stash as possible. It does work, but as others have said, it seems that the scrappy pieces multiply. When it's on sale, I have bought basic background fabric that I knew would be used, but haven't washed it yet to make sure I use up what I already have. Have fun as you fondle your fabric. :-) SharonG/FL |
I am so enjoying this thread and some of the analogies like casting your bread on the water with scrap pieces. It's why I've been doing scrap quilts for so long it's become my trademark. I have may stash of actual quilt material down to one of those huge plastic tubs, but have three more the same size of other sewing materials like silks and linings, wools and flannels. It's also why I've ventured into flannel and wool quilts occasionally. I also had a SERIOUS fabric addiction and I think it's just honestly inherited from my Mama. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. At present I'm backing my scrappy puff (utility) quilt with some absolutely gorgeous heavy cotton slubby border print I bought on sale years ago with the intention of making draperies with it. It seemed like such a waste to use it for this, but honestly I live in the country where curtains are not needed for privacy, and I get by with lace or just valances. It's quite wide, so there is only one seam on the back I'll do by hand to join the two sections, and when I turn the bed down, the wide border will show. Why not? Not only does one have less money to spend on the luxury of 'collecting' fabric after retirement, the costs of cottons has skyrocketed in the last five years. It's almost a luxury now to buy it. I've picked up endless yards of cotton on clearance sales over the last decade for a dollar a yard and just told the clerks I'd finish off bolts of it and had lengths of it sometimes in the same patterns twelve yards long. Same stuff now, same quality is going for six and seven and UP, UP, UP a yard and the cheaper stuff, is junk. You can read a paper through it. |

I too suffer from fabric hoarder/lover syndrome. I was hoping to initiate a future quilter into the picture, but no grandchildren. As it stands now, at my current pace my stash will outlive me. Guess I'd better quilt faster! LindaB/CA |

You're speakin' to the choir here, Jackie! I rearranged my stash today so I would actually have room on my cutting table to cut! I started the baby quilt for my niece with the "Donkeys in Wellies" fabric. The new mom might not like my bright colors, but seeing those donkeys just makes me smile! While I was making space, I realized I had plenty of empty shelf space ----- because most of the fabric was on my cutting table! Ooops! Teresa |

I should let my DH read this post so he understands I'm saving him retirement dollars now in anticipation of future dollars I won't have to spend once I retire! Obviously I'm a lite weight on the stash department.....me shelves do not runeth over, but I'm working on it! V. |

V-Play Gaming Components
V-Play Gaming Components provide a specialized set of QML components for building 2D games on top of Qt 5 for multiple platforms, with the same source code. Components exist for handling multiple display resolutions & aspect ratios, Sprites, Physics, Particles, Multimedia, Multitouch Input and AI.
See V-Play Benefits for Qt 5 Developers for more details how V-Play improves the Qt framework.
Supported Platforms
The supported mobile platforms are iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10, Symbian and MeeGo. Supported desktop platforms are Windows, Mac OS X and Linux which are also used for fast development and testing.
Specifically, these platform versions are supported:
- iOS Apple iOS version 5.0 and above / iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 3rd Gen or newer (armv7 architecture)
- Android Android version 2.3 ("Gingerbread") and above / armeabi-based devices (armv5 and armv7 architecture)
- Windows 32- or 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later
- Apple 64-bit Apple Mac OS X 10.6 or later
- Linux 32- or 64-bit Linux Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 & 13.10 or OpenSuse 12
- Windows Phone 8 & Windows Runtime See here for the Deployment Guide.
Documentation Overview
If you are new to QML & the Qt Creator IDE, please follow the QML Introduction in this document. The Getting started with QML & Qt Creator guide explains QML and Qt Creator step-by-step in more detail.
For a short overview of V-Play, see the V-Play Introduction below. The tutorial about the Getting Started with V-Play goes through the most important V-Play components by creating a simple yet fun stacking game. For more sample games, have a look at the V-Play Components Examples and Demos overview. It is a collection of games that are live in the App Stores and also part of the V-Play SDK. They contain the full source code, so you can quickly create your own versions of tower defenses, platformers, side scrollers and more.
The table below shows an overview of the V-Play documentation:
QML Introduction
QML stands for "Qt Markup Language" and is a declarative language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like, and how it behaves. In QML, a user interface is specified as a tree of objects with properties. This tree is also often referred to as Scene Graph, because when the parent item moves all children will follow. JavaScript is used as a scripting language in QML. For a detailed documentation about QML, see the Qt & QML Resources section below for further links. In this section we will cover the basics of QML and its advantages by an example.
As code speaks more than 1000 words, here is a QML example implementing the following:
- Displays a white background Rectangle with 800x600 px
- Adds a grey button element which changes the color from grey to blue while pressed
- The button is draggable
- The button tracks the number of presses and displays it in its text element
- The button gets invisible after it got pressed 10 times.
How many lines of code would it take you to develop this application with the same functionality in another programming language? With QML, it is just 30 lines, excluding the comments and empty lines:
import QtQuick 2.0 // for accessing all QML elements like Rectangle, Text or MouseArea import VPlay 2.0 // for accessing all V-Play elements like GameWindow GameWindow { Rectangle { // background rectangle filling whole screen with black color color: "#000000" // white color, open up color picker with Ctrl+Alt+Space anchors.fill: parent // make as big as parent GameWindow } Scene { Rectangle { id: button color: "lightgrey" x: 100 y: 50 width: 100 height: 40 visible: pressCount < 10 // after the button being pressed more than 10 times, it gets invisible property int pressCount: 0 // initialize with 0, increase in onPressed Text { text: "Pressed " + button.pressCount + " times" // this will automatically update when pressCount changes color: "black" anchors.centerIn: parent } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent // make the touchable area as big as the button drag.target: button // this forwards the dragging to the button onPressed: { // make the button blue when pressed button.color = "blue" button.pressCount++ // increase pressCount property by 1 each time the button is pressed } onReleased: button.color = "lightgrey" // reset to initial color when the button is released } } }// Scene }// GameWindow
For a step-by-step introduction to QML and the Qt Creator IDE follow the Getting Started with QML & Qt Creator guide. This guide also contains tips how to use Qt Creator most efficiently, so it might be a good read even if you are already familiar with QML. More information on QML can also be found in the following resources.
Qt & QML Resources
- QML Syntax Basics - A great introduction to the QML Language
- Qt Quick QML Types - Functionally grouped lists of all available QML elements, so the API reference of Qt Quick
- Qt Quick Module Overview - Collection of guides for QML introduction and documentation about all QML features. The most import ones are:
- Qt Creator Manual - Documentation of the Qt Creator IDE
If you need any support don't hesitate to ask for help in our support forums.
V-Play Introduction
After downloading the V-Play SDK, you can create a new V-Play game in Qt Creator: Select File/New Project and choose one of the V-Play templates. The following image shows a sample project created with the Empty V-Play Project template.
All V-Play games automatically support scaling to multiple resolutions if the GameWindow and Scene elements are used. You can read more about this feature in the guide How to create mobile games for different screen sizes and resolutions. You can even test how your game will look like on different devices like iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 or popular Android devices by pressing ctrl(cmd)+1-7 on your keyboard while your game is running.
For an introduction of the most important V-Play components, please follow the Getting Started with V-Play guide. It contains a step-by-step tutorial how to create a simple game with V-Play including physics, particle effects and sound.
The V-Play Gaming Components are available with the following import statement in your QML file:
import VPlay 2.0
For a list of available components see the Functional List of V-Play Components. It contains an overview of all V-Play Gaming Components with a short description what they do and is thus the perfect starting point if you are looking for certain functionality in your game. Also use the support forums if you have any questions how to implement your game idea, or for code-specific questions.
V-Play Benefits for Qt 5 Developers
V-Play, a Qt Technology Partner of Digia, enhances the Qt 5 framework with many components and its gaming API used in hundreds of games.
Existing Qt 5 games can benefit from this gaming API and V-Play plugins, because they work as an extension of the Qt framework and work together with existing projects. As a Qt developer, you get the following benefits by using V-Play:
- Increase your player retention and game downloads with V-Play Game Network in 10 minutes
- In-game Level Editor to cut level creation and balancing times
- Add user-generated content and level sharing to make a game your players will love
- Entity & Component system
- Content scaling & dynamic image switching that makes it easy to support multiple resolutions
- And lots of other gaming components helping you to make your game faster
And of course as part of V-Play you can use our leading Qt plugins that enable you to:
- Monetize your game with cross-platform in-app purchases, AdMob & Chartboost ads or a Level Store
- Constantly improve your game with Flurry analytics
- Make your game social with V-Play Game Network including support for Facebook and GameCenter
The following sections explain V-Play benefits for Qt developers in more detail.
Content Scaling
Content Scaling allows you to create a game once for all screen sizes and resolutions. V-Play simplifies working with a single logical size with these use-cases:
- Position your game entities on a logical scene for equal and fair game experience across all platforms.
- Easy positioning of UI elements based on the screen and not based on the logical scene. See here for a tutorial.
- Easily define physics objects across devices. Without this addition, each physics object would behave differently because its dimensions would depend on the physical screen size. V-Play solves this issue.
- Keep entity positions in levels consistent across screen resolutions: If one level is saved on one resolution and then played on another device with a different resolution, the level would look different. V-Play solves this issue.
Content scaling can be used with the MultiResolutionImage, AnimatedSpriteVPlay and SpriteSequenceVPlay components. For a tutorial see How to create mobile games for different screen sizes and resolutions.
Dynamic Image Switching Support
V-Play adds support for dynamic image switching based on the screen size, on top of Qt 5. This allows you to:
- Save graphics memory: based on the screen size, the best matching image is selected to avoid upscaled and blurry images, and to save memory compared to an approach where always the highest resolution images are used.
- Improve loading times: as the best-sized image is selected, you get an ideal loading time of the used image.
- Work with the logical size of the image in your GameWindow and Scene to simplify multi-resolution positioning and to use Content Scaling.
See the V-Play File Selectors documentation for more details about dynamic image switching.
The V-Play Script for Multi-Resolution Asset Generation alllows you to create sprite sheets from single sprite frames and scale them down automatically.

You folks in Tulsa didn't cool off much over night, did you?
The Oklahoman's website is reporting your low temp since midnight is 88 degrees. If today's temp doesn't fall below 88 before midnight, you'll have a new all-time highest ever minimum temperature. The last time you recorded a new all-time high? Way back in good old 2011. I cannot believe y'all didn't cool off more than that, and you have my sympathy. The only thing that makes this hear bearable is that the early morning hours are cool, and y'all are being denied that one small pleasure. Dawn |

It was still 88 here in Edmond at 4:30 am. Don't know if it cooled off after that. I was too disgusted to keep track. |

text: I went to the market today for my weekly visit and picked up a box of cat liter to put in my cart. As I picked up the box, I thought to myself, "gosh this stuff is heavy". As I put the liter into my cart, I looked at the box to find the weight - 20 Lbs. This may seem like a minor occurrence, but it made me think about the extra weight I have been carrying around. No wonder my knees hurt. No wonder I get tired walking up the stairs. I tried to imagine myself hauling around 2 or 3 of these boxes of cat liter all day long. That's exactly what I am doing by allowing myself to be burdened with my extra weight. I think I'll keep the box of liter out so I can see it and remind me of how important it is to my health to get rid of my extra weight.

Rudy Gay Fractures Jaw, Still Livid Over "Dirty Play"
During USA Basketball's 96-68 evisceration of Lithuania in the FIBA World Cup semifinal game on Thursday, Rudy Gay wasn't as excited about moving on to Sunday's gold medal game as some of his teammates. That's because he got socked in mouth during a drive mid-way through the third quarter, fracturing his jaw and probably requiring a root canal. Gay said afterwards it was a "dirty play."

What?! Somebody check Newt's pulse. He gives Governor Kaine "very high marks." Decent text. Atrocious delivery.
I am IM-ing with my Marine brother, who is not a political junkie, so is not familiar with Kaine. He asks: "Who is this churchboy? Their sop to the red states?" Maybe he doesn't need to follow politics any more than he does.
John: By process of elimination, you're not crazy. Kaine only won because he faced an awful campaign. Dems will rue this choice. It's good on paper, but the man's a goof.
John: He does resemble a Mr. Rogers gone bad. I've seen that smile before on some used car salesman. He keeps saying there's a better way. But he never says what it is. Or did I miss something?
A Virginia blog, Bearing Drift, is liveblogging Kaine as well.
Am I crazy, or does Tim Kaine have a noticeable Mr. Rogers vibe?
For her anti-war T-shirt.
Oil is (mostly) fungible. It's not that much of a simplification to say that consumption of any oil enriches everyone who has oil to sell. Of course, this mean that cutting into Middle Eastern oil wealth is a lot harder than a lot of people realize. A reduction in US consumption would put downward pressure on oil prices and hurt petrocrats' revenues, which is good. But the OPEC cartel is designed to support prices, and wouldn't sit still in the face of falling demand. Really, a post-petroleum economy is the only way to permanently break OPEC.

Thank you for your honest comment, Oscar! I appreciate that very much. Personally, I agree... but sometimes I find abstract is a hard sell. I do have the painting available without it, but I know there is an audience for this kind of thing. Can't hurt to try!
Thanks, for the reassurance, Andre! As I see it, you can't be afraid to fail. Appreciate your encouragement so much!

Trying to plan ahead. I have a 4 month old maltipoo fluff ball that we will be taking to a beach that I know has some tar. I will keep her on a leash at all times and do my best to avoid any tar but in the event she gets some, what is the best way to remove it that won't cause any problems on her hair/skin.
My google searches showed Goo Gone but that it also caused skin irritations, as well as some using olive/vegetable oil. Any personal experience? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mom always used to rub peanut butter in my hair when I fell asleep w/gum in my mouth. WHY did I do that so many times? Lol well it did work, took a minute to rub it in well. A plus would be that the dog will lick her fur for days if you don't wash it off when you're done. If it were me, I'd use pb or oil then trim any that won't come out after a good bath to remove the oily stuff. Have fun at the beach! |

My dog got a piece of duct tape stuck on her foot as a pup. I found something on the internet, I think. It recommended using vegetable oil. It came right off and then I just washed her paw with soap and rinsed it. |
Thanks for the suggestions. Luckily I have all those in my pantry. Jomuir, I remember gum when I went to bed and waking with a sore jaw in the morning. |
Last week I used Avon Skin so Soft on a carpet to remove a spot of dried liquid nails. Took some rubbing but it came off leaving the rug intact. Years ago before flea meds came out I remember using it on our dogs, just lightly, to keep fleas away. As with anything though some dogs might be sensitive to it and others might not. |
BABY OIL!!! It works wonders, then wash it out with some diluted dawn dish soap. I wish we knew about this when we were younger, then we used lighter fluid. Get the cheap store brand. I guarantee it works, I had to do it almost every day when I was in California. |

The House of Representatives passed three bills on July 28 designed to protect U.S. critical infrastructure against hacking by boosting information sharing, advancing cyber technologies and improving the Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity workforce.
One measure, by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), would codify and enhance DHS's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center as the hub for information sharing on threats across infrastructure sectors, according to a committee summary. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee reported its own NCCIC bill in June.
"Last week, the former co-chair of the 9/11 Commission testified that we are in a pre-9/11 mindset when it comes to cybersecurity," McCaul said in a statement. He said his bill would create "a true partnership between DHS and the private sector to ensure the distribution of real-time cyber threat information in order to secure our nation in cyberspace without burdensome mandates or regulations."
Larry Zelvin, NCCIC's outgoing director, has called for legislation clarifying DHS's role in cybersecurity.
The House also passed a bill by Patrick Meehan (R-Pa.) that would direct the DHS secretary to submit to Congress a plan for research and development of cybersecurity and physical security technologies. According to a Congressional Research Service summary, the legislation would also have the secretary report on DHS's use of public-private research consortiums to develop technologies for critical infrastructure protection.
The third bill, by New York Democrat Yvette Clarke, would require the DHS secretary to develop classifications for cyber expertise used in the department and make those classifications available to other federal agencies, according to a CRS summary. While the first two measures were approved by voice vote, this bill was put to a recorded vote. It passed, 395-8.
The Senate is considering a related bill that would authorize DHS to pay cyber experts more and retain them with bonuses, which the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved in May.

Do you ever second guess the advantages of getting a liberal arts degree? Gregory Giangrande's book entitled The Liberal Arts Advantage, gives an in depth look into just how impressive a liberal arts education can look to employers. Employers are continually looking for workers who are able to see the 'big picture' and are well-educated in multiple fields of study. Throughout my process of reading this book I will incorporate into my blogs topics that Giangrande highlights. Hopefully you will feel more confident about your preparation for the corporate world coming from a liberal arts school.
The first part of this book emphasizes how important your education is to landing a job. It isn't all about how you look and act, but about how well-rounded of a person you are. Gregory states, "Your liberal arts degree is your advantage. You are prepared. Trust that your individuality will come through without gimmicks. Make it easy for the employer, who will appreciate and hire you for it." Yet, he doesn't want you to get too confident either!
Be sure to take advantage of your time at school, and constantly thinking of how to apply the resources and classes available to your future endeavors. Make it a priority to take a business or public speaking class even if it isn't required. Get a temporary job in an office setting so that you have experience doing office-related tasks. Don't be afraid to visit your career center (we're super friendly!) and explore different career paths. These are all important things to keep in mind so that you become a well-rounded individual.
Besides all the academic and extra-curricular activities, Giangrande stresses how important it is to "do what you are". By this he means to follow a career path that suits you in every way possible. You have four years (typically) at school to pack in as many experiences as you can. Make them worthwhile and meaningful! Throughout these experiences, you will continue to find out more about yourself and how you fit into a career path.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been released from a hospital a week after undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer.
In a statement, the court said Friday that doctors had determined her tumor was in the early stage, TNM Stage 1, and that the cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes.
The court said the 75-year-old Ginsburg has returned to her home in Washington to recuperate. She had been at the Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York since her operation on Feb. 5.
Ginsburg has indicated she will be at the court when the justices next hear arguments on Feb. 23.
