Mexico's ruling party candidate is stepping up attacks on the presidential front-runner to play on fears of corruption within the once-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Trailing in the polls, Josefina Vazquez Mota of the National Action Party suggested last week that the PRI, which held power for seven decades until 2000, colluded with drug traffickers. Her campaign has also called the party's candidate, Enrique Pena Nieto, a liar, saying he didn't complete public works projects that he'd claimed credit for as a governor.
Vazquez Mota is treading a fine line between unmasking what she says are her opponent's weaknesses and breaching a new election law against negative campaigning ahead of the July 1 vote. Pena Nieto says Vazquez Mota's accusations hark back to campaigning in the last election in 2006, which ended with supporters of the losing candidate alleging fraud and blocking Mexico City's main thoroughfare.
"Six years ago, Mexico saw itself divided by dirty campaigns that only achieved confrontation and rancor between Mexicans," Pena Nieto said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. "I am not going to divide Mexico."
Ads by Vazquez Mota's party in 2006 calling opposition candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador a danger to Mexico helped erase the lead he held in early opinion polls. After losing the race by less than one percentage point, Lopez Obrador, who is running again this year, pushed to overhaul electoral laws to prohibit personal attacks.
Vazquez Mota's campaign spots show leaking pipes and unfinished roads that her party claims are among dozens of projects Pena Nieto failed to complete while governor of Mexico state. Pena Nieto said he completed all 608 of his pledges.
The PRI filed a complaint with the electoral institute April 15 to halt airing of the ads, arguing that they distort the truth. The two parties have agreed to meet to investigate the allegations.
Vazquez Mota has also criticized the PRI's record on tackling drugs gangs.
"Organized crime did not come on its own," she said on April 13 at an event in the northern state of Tamaulipas, which is governed by the PRI and has been hit especially hard by the recent drug war. "There had to have been complicity or at least much complacency" from the authorities.
'Doesn't Deliver'
Vazquez Mota's assertions at public events or on the Internet do not violate the new electoral law, while negative TV or radio ads may do so, according to Aldo Munoz, a political scientist at the Autonomous University of Mexico state.
The law "prevents the voter from receiving information about the negative aspects of the parties fighting for power," Munoz said.
The PAN started a website over the weekend called "Pena Doesn't Deliver" that reports on dozens of his supposedly incomplete public works projects.
Vazquez Mota had 21 percent support in a poll released April 16 by Grupo Economistas Asociados-ISA, up from 18 percent on April 11. She remains about 19 percentage points behind the front-runner, Pena Nieto, who had 40 percent support in the face-to-face survey of 1,148 people from April 14 to April 16. Lopez Obrador of the Party of the Democratic Revolution was third with 14 percent support. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
Former President Vicente Fox, who is from Vazquez Mota's party, said last week that it would take a "small miracle" for her to win the July 1 vote.
The candidates will hold their first debate May 6.

Hello, I am getting a sales pitch for a Calcite Neutralizer but have no idea if the unit they are recommending is correct. My water parameters: PH: 6.0 We are on a well. About 10 GPM flow rate. (takes about 5-6 seconds to fill a gallon jug on the largest flow faucet 4 persons in the home and we have 4 baths (3 full). They recommend a Neutralizer 7000-SXT Calcite 1.5 CF. Any advice? Should I add a sediment filter in line before the unit? thank you |

While the recommended neutralizer will certainly fix your pH problem, with such clean water, I would be hesitant to use a calcite neutralizer. It will add a significant amount of hardness to your water, making a softener desirable. You may want to investigate using a soda ash neutralizer. These are typically used where pH is very low or TDS is quite high, but feeding a dilute soda ash solution could, in your case, solve your pH problem without creating a hardness problem. |

Yesterday morning, I mentioned the extent of cognitive dissonance surrounding the Gold was surprising (What Are Gold's Fundamentals?).
The reaction to Gold's crash has produced some astonishing rationalizations. The refusal to acknowledge basic trading facts leads us to recognize that Gold bugs and traders have very specific rules that they MUST follow. These social conventions look less like a debate about asset classes and more like a religious cult.
The advocates for any sort of investing thesis have their rules, metrics, heuristics and biases. Here are the rules we teased out for the Gold Trade:
The Rules of Goldbuggery
1. Gold is a Currency: This is rule number 1. It is not a decorative or industrial metal, it is a permanent store of value, as dictated by Greeks in Lydia around 700 B.C. And, it shall be ever thus.
2. The price of gold cannot fall, it can only be manipulated lower: When gold's price falls, it is an unnatural act. It can only occur as the result of an international cabal of Central Bankers and politicians. Its a conspiracy, and we know who the guilty parties are.
3. If the price of gold is rising, it is doing so despite enormous and desperate efforts by manipulators to prevent the rise: This is the corollary to the prior Rule of Gold manipulation. Gold runs up despite the overwhelming opposition to it.
4. The world MUST return to the Gold Standard one day: It is inevitable that we will return to a Gold Standard. We all know this to be true. When we compare the size of the money supply to past amounts when there was a Gold Standard, we can derive prices of Gold in the $7,000, $10,000 even $15,000. Hence, we know its cheap even at $2,000.
5. Central Bankers are printing money relentlessly, and this can only drive Gold prices higher: NOTE: You must ignore, for the moment, that Gold has not gone higher for the past 2 years as Central Banks around the world have ramped up QE. This only means that ultimately, Gold will go much much higher.
6. Gold works whether the economy is good or bad: When we have a red hot economy, Gold is your hedge against inflation. When we have a bad economy, Gold is a safe harbor against collapse. It is a one way trade that never fails!
7. Gold will survive after the world economy crumbles: Gold is the ultimate currency, as it has a value that will survive even after the whole world tumbles around you. Get yourself some gold coins and a Glock and you will be just fine when the whole world goes to shit. We welcome the era envisioned in the movie Mad Max.
8. Never admit that Gold is essentially a sucker's bet: Never discuss how in the last century, gold has run up only be to trounced in repeated massive sell offs (always blame rule #2 for this). Do not discuss how this has happened in 1915-20, 1941, 1947, 1951-66, 1974-76 1981, 1983-85, 1987-2000 and 2008.
9. Gold is a rejection of government, and their control of fiat money and finance: There are no printing presses that produce gold, it is finite, natural and God created. How much we scrape out of the ground each year is limited, and the only variable to the old equation. (Just ignore Man's natural tendency to organize into to City-States over the past 12,000 years).
10. All Gold discussions must contain ominous macro forecasts: Your description of why Gold is going higher must consist of spurious correlations, unprovable predictions, and a guarded expectation of bad things in the future. Avoid empirical data at all costs.
11. Gold is always rallying in one currency or another: Sure, it may be down 30% in Dollars, the reserve currency it is priced in, but you can always find a currency falling faster than it does and claim you own it in that denomination. Last week, it was up in Japanese Yen. This week, it is up in Zimbabwe dollars.
12. China & India know the value of Gold; the Western world does not: The massive buying of gold by consumers in Chindia reflects the culture, intelligence and investing savvy of the people in these countries. The West doesn't get it, and it is their loss.
Bonus rule: Never admit Gold might be falling because it trades on human emotions and psychology and has no intrinsic value whatsoever.
The enormous amounts of dollars involved in the Gold trade has attracted all manner of charlatans and frauds to the Gold trade. Although this list can help you separate the true believers from the criminals, time has proven them to be both are enormous money losers.
Ignore the risks of being a gold bug at great peril to your portfolio . . .

Here's a little surprise: The top military contractors have all been doing pretty well since Sequestration hit.
I know what you're thinking: They already got hit in anticipation of Sequestration. Only they didn't.
Boeing (BA) and Oshkosh OSK are near 52 week highs, while United Technologies (UTX) and McKesson (MCK) 20% are at all time highs. (Table below)
So much for the impact of these government cutbacks on Military contractors . . .

To answer that question, look at the chart above, courtesy of Société Générale's Albert Edwards, who asks the question "Are equities really unambiguously cheap?". (Cyclical Earnings charts after the jump).
Shiller's CAPE chart shows that while US equities are fairly reasonably priced, they are not, to use Edwards term, "unambiguously cheap." But for about a week in March of 2009, they were, but if you blinked you may have missed it.
Europe, on the other hand, appears to be appreciably cheaper than US equities. (Funny how recessions tend to do that). We have about a 16% European weighting, primarily through ETFs like GAL and DVYE.
Regardless, contrarians may wish to take note of this from a valuation perspective.

...according to Christopher Brooker in the Telegraph
"The ordinary man may not flinch from a dictatorship of the proletariat, if you offer it tactfully; offer him a dictatorship of the prigs, and he gets ready to fight..." - www.orwelltoday.com/wiganpier.shtm
I read "The Folly of Fools" when it came out. Now I'm backfilling earlier Trivers: "Natural Selection and Social Theory", and "Social Evolution". He held the torch of sociobiology high while social "scientists" tried hard to extinguish it. By 1970, when they were still respected in academia, he'd already dismissed Freud and Marx.

(AP) A search continues for a southern Nevada teenager who has been missing since his mother and younger brother were found stabbed to death in their apartment last week.
Henderson police spokesman Keith Paul said Monday that 16-year-old Adrian Navarro hasn't been located since 40-year-old Elvira Canales and 10-year-old Cesar Navarro were found dead Friday.
The bodies were discovered after Canales failed to show up for work as a chef at the Venetian resort since Wednesday, and the younger boy didn't appear at school.
Police have released no information about suspects or a motive.
The teen's father also is named Adrian Navarro. He lives in California, and has issued a plea in Henderson for his son to contact family members.

I am fairly new to dahlias so need some advice. I lifted mine out of the ground in November and stored them in dry peat moss in a large paper bag in a cool basement over the winter. Just took them out and the tubers look all shriveled up. Only one of them has what looks to be a new sprout. No eyes visible. Are they dead? Can they be revived by soaking them in water? Or should I buy new tubers and start over? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I thought the same thing with one my dahlias last year. They were all shriveled up and looked dead. I said, what the heck, I'll put them in the ground. I have nothing to lose. It came up and probably grew better than the one I left in the ground to my surprise. Go ahead and plant it. You have nothing to lose. |
- Posted by DapperDahlia z6 Pa (My Page) on Fri, Apr 15, 05 at 20:23
A couple of sources i found said that you should check your stored tubers monthly over the winter and if they start to look dried out that you should sprinkle them lightly with a little water.....maybe that will be helpful for next year :o) |
Thanx, this info helped me too. I only have a couple that look that way - but the colors are important to my Newbie planting plan, so glad to hear they have a good chance. |
I lost one last spring and finally found it in fall in a pot, still dry. I planted it in the ground but didn't see anything come up. If it ever comes up and blooms I'll report. |

Is Beach Club last stop on Expot resorts bus run?
Trying to decide, just going to be there one night, and take bus to MK evening, and AK next morning.
Isn't the bus run--- Boardwalk, then Swan then Dolphin, the Yacht club, then Beach Club? It seems like Boardwalk is first, and Beach Club last on way to park, not return. I really remember Boardwalk seems to take 35 minutes to finish picking up other hotels before finally hitting the road to drive to the park. Is this correct? Sorry, it won't let me correct typo in title. |
I don't think there is a bus. I know you can walk to Epcot from Beach Club, or take the boat.:)
I've been on the MK run a few times recently and they do not have buses sharing at all five resorts. They have one bus for Swan/Dolphin/Boardwalk and one for Yacht/Beach.
Don't know about AK. |
sometimes if not busy time - it will be swan/dolphin, yc, bc, bw
during busy times - one bus - yc, bc another bus - BW, swan, dolphin so the only time the bc is the last bus stop is when it is just it and yc. |
The ride home is different. For the last few years, even in slow times, the bus has gone from MK to YC then BC when we've been there. I can't remember what the AK bus route is. |
During my stay, the order was Swan/Dolphin, YC, BC, BWI.
My experience is same as pp. BW is always last. Next time we stay we'll get off at Swan and walk since that's close to BWV side
I've stayed at BC many times since 1992 and in the past two years, I've stayed at BC/YC six times. The timing of my recent stays ranges from value season (winter and summer) to peak holiday season (Easter week) to regular season (October.) In the morning, it's usually BC straight to MK or AK (on rare occasions, and if the bus is not full, we've stopped at BWI, which added three minutes to the trip when I timed it.) On the way back from MK, it's been S/D, then YC, then BC. I don't mind the leisurely pace at the end and we always have the option of bailing at S/D or YC, but we never do. Can't recall the journey back from AK, for some reason!
The question is TO the parks, not return from the parks. |

LAT 365 • Advanced Latin Reading
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
28930 |
Galinsky |
Course Description
You started it in LAT 312 or AP Latin; now find out how the Aeneid ends! In this half of the poem, Aeneas and his followers quit wandering aimlessly around the Mediterranean and get down to business. The first goal of this class will be to read as much of Aeneid 7-12 as possible given the range of student preparation. To this end there will be daily reading assignments, and we will devote two days a week to translation and discussion of local issues. At the senior level, however, it is also important to engage with a broader variety of issues. One day a week will be reserved for lecture and disscussion of more global issues: what is Vergils relationship both to specific predecessors and to Hellenistic aesthetics in general? Can we give a more precise discription of Vergils fabled ambiguity and its function(s)? Does contemporary critical theory have anything to add to our understanding of ancient poetry? At what level(s) does the Aeneid, as a piece of poetry, react to contemporary historical events? Why do some people still insist on spelling Vergils name with an i?

I've been on a couple of blogs lately where I've clicked on a link or image to someone's store only to find out that that link contains something it should never...the part of the url that reads &zenid=awer09-0712w344848602345 (or some weird string). It's very innocent to be in a store and want to copy the url and give it someone so they can go visit it. BUT...here's the problem if you include that part of the url that begins with "zenid=". This is a session id and when multiple users click the link with this is in it close in time, they all could potentially share the same session and potentially the same user account. NOT GOOD.
FYI, we haven't been the victim of this...just taking precautions with all users.

Anyway, you should read some stuff about linux and realtime. I agree
totally that linux is not a hard-realtime OS, and was never designed
to be such. So I wouldn't deploy it in a few places where QNX is king,
but it's still quite capable.
Here are a couple of links, it's your project, so it's totally your call:
* http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8211887833.html this is an
extract of a lkml message (available here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/7/256) which compares different ways of
achieving realtime in linux.
* http://www.realtimelinuxfoundation.org/ it's basically a bunch of
guys talking about how to make linux realtime, all the time. Check the
"Variants" and "Solutions" sections. There seem to be a few
hard-realtime solutions (unlike Molnar's patch, which gives you
soft-realtime), but they seem quite hard to implement... haven't tried
them, tho'.
Now, I'm going back to lurking mode...
Have fun!

Come one. Come all. And bring a friend:
November 10th from 8 - 1ish. It's being held at a church on Central and Glendale avenue. We'd have to bring some of our own chairs and tables (they would provide a couple tables and some chairs), and we would have access to bathrooms, a playground and electricity. There is no cost as we would be outside. The church is also close to two different community gardens as well as the The Root (Urban Farm Nursery) at 7120 N. 12th St If you have plants, cuttings, or seeds to swap please bring them along. It's short notice so if you don't have anything handy just come and set a spell, chat with other valley gardeners. The announcement was posted on Dave's Garden: Southwest Forum, All Things Plants: Arizona Gardening and I'll post also on the VPA site. The weather is grand for it. Hope to see many of you in order to put faces to screen names. |

How did you manage to post this? I got a pop-up window that abruptly told me that I could not mention DG in any fashion when I attempted to link an article posted in a DG newsletter. I had to rewrite my message. |
Dunno, but now I'll take pagancat's warning.....don't mention it too loudly. It may have been that you tried a link but I also disabled pop ups. |

I'm in Tucson now, but my user name dates to years of hanging out on the Virginia forum. |
One or more members from Dave's will sometimes come up. Email if you would like me to connect you with some folks in Tucson. Thanks for the interest, many of us would sincerely like to see companionship and commaradrie between *all* forums. |
Actually, I just wish we'd all pick one forum, lol. I hate going between them, and I'm too cheap to go back to DG. |

Ditto, P.C. Mary, I think a few of the Tucson folks have moved to other climes. Jill moved not too long ago to Nebraska. |
didn't know Jill moved - darn! There's still Dete though, unless he packs up for Hawaii so he can grow those plumies in a more hospitable climate. |
Actually, he'll be up here Sunday - I asked him to do some photography for me. Well, of me. And Teddy. |
ahhhh, sweet. He'll do a good job for sure. |
I'm in touch with Detrick, Eileen ... and I think that's it. |
Bump - this is next weekend, Saturday. 8am'ish. The NWC of Central and Glendale Ave's. |
So far I have a purple basil start and a purple and a green Ornamental Sweet 'tater start to give away, lol. Not exactly overflowing with stuff, but that's what I got! I'm really going to see the people, of course - will be nice to reconnect! |
I don't have much either but hope to get some cuttings started today although it's getting on in the day......I go for the social hit. Some folks I only see at swaps and it's just fun to connect. |
Okay PC, thanks for the kick in the butt. I've got 8 cuttings and am waiting for Judy to tell me what they are. All I know is: Lady Slipper - sqiggly growing plant |
Here's what they are, if anyone is interested. Pedilanthus macrocarpus, the other one is Euphorbia tirucalli. If you can't make the swap and want some of these pretty ladies, just let me know. Looking at those pictures, mine may need more sun - or something. They do not get that bright red. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Some Images
Shoot, I'd *love* some pedilanthus. Wonder what else I can dig up around here.... =) |
It was a lovely, albeit chilly morning, thanks so much Jackie for setting it up. Good to sit and yak, and I love my new succulents. And my dogs love the new toys, lol! (Cross posted to ATP!) |
Hey Mary, what was the name of the shriveled-kale looking thing? |
From me? In those recycled toilet paper rolls? It's lighter in color than kale though right? I think you are asking about pedilanthus tithymaloides varigata or Devil's Backbone |
Here is a link that might be useful: Devil's Backbone
Nope... dark as Kale, kinda flower shaped. Perhaps I got it from Jackie, although I thought Judy B said she had a bunch from you. No biggie. |

The Philadelphia Mint initiated coinage with a few pattern 1792 coins and a small issue of 1792 half dismes, many of which entered circulation along with the various foreign and colonial issues then available in the fledgling United States. By 1793 copper coinage began in earnest with half cents and large cents, although the designs of these initial copper coins met with general disfavor and were changed in 1794 for the half cents, and completely changed three times on the large cents during 1793 alone. Our government required that a bond be posted before the Philadelphia Mint could issue silver coins and gold, and the money for the bond was not available until 1794 for the silver coins and 1795 for gold. Thus in 1794 silver half dimes, half dollars and silver dollars were coined for the first time in significant numbers. Once the bond was posted for gold coinage in 1795, coinage of half eagles and eagles began. As the eagle was the premier coin and largest denomination for which coinage was planned, special care was taken in preparing the dies. Fewer mistakes are seen on eagles as compared to half eagles, and the dies were also carefully monitored to check for breakage or clashing as well as the original design layout. In fact, the only significant aberration during the 1795 production was the Nine Leaf reverse die, which was used quite sparingly and perhaps replaced soon after it was noticed that the symbolic thirteen states had been reduced to nine (leaves).
A few die markers are worthy of note, on this specimen we see a thin die scratch which extends from the middle of the 5 up toward the loop of the 9, above the 17 to the lowest curl on Liberty, where it merges with a faint die crack. Another die line extends from the back serif of the (LI)B to the top of the curl which wraps up over the top of Liberty's cap. Most of the stars and the date have a faint peripheral crack along the outer points, but it extends through the middle of the last star to the bust. The reverse die has a few die markers of its own, including a thin line up from the left wing of the eagle very close to the neck, the (A)M has a raised lump on the inside left angle, and the is a small die lump within the center of that letter, just above the junction. Three of the leaf points on the lower branch show extended die scratches all of which project straight downward toward the edge.
As stated, the surfaces of this coin are very attractive and show only a few faint handling lines. We also note a dull nick on and just below the right wing of the eagle, on the third feather out from his body. This nick is probably the most pronounced handling mark on the coin, and it is very minor and partially hidden by the feather. A smaller nick resides in the middle of the field underneath the left wing, and this nick is horizontal. Housed in an older green insert PCGS holder, and one of the highlights of this entire sale. Destined to become one of the highlights of a major collection, and as the first year of issue of our largest denomination coin, the importance of this coin cannot be overstated.

Okay, so I'm trying to make an animated .gif but the images are too dark. I created an image sequence from a .mov file using Quicktime, then opened the image sequence in GIMP using the "Open as layers" option (I'm using GIMP 2.6.6 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, if it matters). I upped the brightness on a few of the layers and I like how it turned out, but I don't want to have to do that manually for 163 layers! Is there a way to apply the increased brightness effect to all of the layers at once, instead of changing it one at a time? ???
idk if u could merege them down apply the layes and then get them apart again...maybe try that...pls post the outcome!
I don't think there is a way. But 2.6 remembers the effect setting for a lot of the color options so it will make the task less daunting.
Say for instance that you apply a levels effect to a layer. If you go back to the levels there's a pulldown tab and the last effect you applied will be at the first option.

Fair winds and following seas!
Hi neighbor. Nice to meet you.
Earlier in the morning, I did see a boat heading out and heard a mention of a race. If you see me out there, stop on by or hail me on the radio.
My mainsail has NS27 near the top and 170 halfway up.
I may go out to the boat again in a couple weeks. See you around.

Another farmworker union leader fired – retaliation from Sakuma Bros.
On Monday August 11th over 150 Sakuma Bros Farms blueberry pickers, members of Familias Unidas por la Justicia protested and assembled a picket line at the farm's field office on Benson Road to protest the firing of a union leader, unreliable lunch break times, onerous piece-rates and a new disciplinary scheme that was imposed by the company.
Cornelio Ramirez, a Familias Unidas por la Justicia negotiation committee member has been the target of an internal campaign by the management of sakuma Berry Farms to seek out and discipline farm workers who are sympathetic to the independent farm worker union with a previously un-enforced company hand-book that establishes a warning based discipline system. The farm workers do not even have a copy of this handbook. Cornelio received two warnings for talking back to company representatives (a labor contractor and an anti-union consultant), one warning for using his cell phone to record a conversation in Spanish, his second language, and another for "picking too slow".

Seattle City Council Passes Immigration Resolution
Councilmember Nick Licata Councilmember Bruce Harrell Councilmember Kshama Sawant Council Urges Federal Comprehensive Immigration Reform to Help Seattle Families SEATTLE - City Council unanimously adopted a resolution today emphasizing the importance of family unity and calling upon the Obama Administration to stop deportations of undocumented residents without serious criminal convictions. It also calls for the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and urges the administration to end the use of the I-9 audits that have resulted in the firing of hundreds of undocumented workers in Seattle. The federal government's stated priority is the deportation of individuals with serious criminal convictions, yet the majority of those deported have only minor convictions, or no convictions whatsoever. Deportations have reached an annual national average of nearly 400,000 people since 2009. The resolution also urges Congress to increase funding for resettlement services, to support family unity with the passage of comprehensive immigration reform that eliminates visa backlogs and to give immigration judges discretion in immigration and deportation proceedings. Finally, the resolution calls on the City of Seattle to redouble efforts to inform the immigrant and refugee community of their legal rights and Seattle's policies related to their immigration status, including options to qualify for different types of immigration status.

Justice Department's Losing Battle Over Deportation Waivers for Permanent Residents
For more than five years, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has defended a policy that deprives long-term lawful permanent residents (LPRs) of the opportunity to apply for a waiver that would allow them to remain in the United States. The policy at issue—announced through a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision—significantly narrows the group of LPRs who are eligible for this waiver.

I was a bit confused when i only got one of the o2 sensors i ordered but with in 1 day got the other. The certified macanic said the parts were what he could get but i got them at $100 dollars less than his quote. he installed them for 60 bucks. I saved over 300 dollars,on the estimates given by the local auto shops. so far so good.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Cutline: Peruvian workers making preparations for the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation forum]
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev left Nov. 21 for Lima, Peru, to attend
the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference, which brings
together the leaders of 21 countries that border the Pacific Ocean at a
time when the global financial crisis is at its height and tensions are
growing among many of the world's heavyweights.
<link nid="23298">APEC itself</link> has devolved from its original design
as a multilateral trade group to mainly that of a forum for some of
the[delete? Can we put `a handful of'?] world powers -- principally the
United States, Japan, China and Russia -- to hold bilateral[this would
mean between 2 countries; is that what you mean? yes] meetings. Each of
the member countries typically gets some face time with other leaders, but
it is typically the Big Four that are heavily watched -- especially now.
This is the first big summit that the new Russian president will attend in
which the United States will also be present since August, when Russia
<link nid="122296">redefined itself</link> on the global stage by going to
war with Georgia and testing the U.S. ability to come to the aid of a
so-called[was Georgia not technically or actually a U.S. ally? It is an
ally... but that is a weird thing to say bc it makes Russia look like an
There are many critical issues on the table between Russia and the United
States, including the aftermath of the Russo-Georgian war, missile defense
in Europe and the global financial crisis -- all expected to be discussed
during the next U.S.-Russian summit. But Medvedev implied Nov. 5 in his
<link nid="126573">state-of-the-state address</link> that he would no
longer deal with the current U.S. administration and was waiting for
President-elect Barack Obama to take office before it started negotiations
with Washington. Medvedev has seen a <link nid="124213">possible
opportunity</link> in Obama's presidency to strike deals on issues and
polices that emerged during the Bush administration.
Although Russia and the United States traditionally hold side meetings
during the APEC gathering, none is on the schedule. According to Stratfor
sources in Moscow, Medvedev is willing to meet with George W. Bush for
what adds up to mainly a photo opportunity but not to discuss anything in
depth, even though Washington has requested a more serious sit-down.
Medvedev is making a point of marginalizing the current U.S.
administration at a very public forum.
Medvedev has other things he would rather concentrate on while he is in
the Western hemisphere. First, the Russian president is looking to his
meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao to cover a host of topics,
including <link nid="126970">Chinese loans to Russian energy firms</link>,
<link nid="114022">pipeline connections</link> and Russia's relations to
its Asian neighbor as Moscow continues to push back out into the
international arena. But Hu has other things in mind -- mainly working
with the United States on the current financial crisis-- and China has
given no indication that it is committed to any Russian agenda.
This leaves Medvedev with the other reason for his trip: <link
nid="127253">a tour of Latin America</link>. Following his snub of the
American president, Medvedev will travel to Brazil (Nov. 24-26), Venezuela
(Nov. 26-27) and Cuba (Nov. 27) -- all countries that the United States
considers critical in maintaining stability in the hemisphere.
The interesting thing is that Medvedev has pulled together an unusual
entourage of Russian power brokers. Stratfor sources indicate (though this
is not confirmed) that the team includes Russian Finance Minister Alexei
Kudrin and former Federal Security Service chief and Security Council head
<link nid="116612 ">Nikolai Patryushev</link>. These two are not typical
travel companions for the Russian president -- and they never travel
together. But they are two people who can get things done in the Russian
system: one holds the checkbook, the other the cloaks and daggers. Their
joint presence is a clear sign to Washington that Moscow is attempting to
solidify its position either financially or with shadier tools right in
Washington's backyard.

I usually am bored with just straight pve but i did like gw2 events. However I think that rifts zone wide invasions where on a bigger scale then gw2 events and if you played on a pvp server much more dynamic because of the other faction. |
Originally posted by aRtFuLThinG Shush! This is no place nor time to be correct and accurate!

They just needed to put a good doze of sandbox philosophy in them, maybe not in each event per say, but at least on the meta event like the fight against the dragons, or the fight against the centaurs and things like this. Players should be able to be in NPCs factions and the dev should have delivered them the action through those. That's my 2 cents, but at least "they" did it, props to them for that.

Originally posted by eyelolled The assumption is not legit because a lot and probably most of the DEs (I haven't played in a while so not gonna quantify beyound these general terms) are nothing more than go kill x number of mob y, or gather x number of item y, or escort NPC joe shit the rag man from point a to b and don't let him die type of quests. Nothing groundbreaking, just disguised so some will not realize that they are doing the same stupid quests that a lot of players hate so much. Oh, on that note GRATZ!!!! It seems there is something groundbreaking to the DEs, they fooled a lot players. |
Originally posted by Latronus Dynamic Events do have the possibility to become more than they currently are in GW2 though, despite everything, in GW2 dynamic events are entirely repetitive, and its possible for the exact same outcome to occur every single time, in that sense their not that much different to questing in other games, what would change things, is if not only was the Dynamic event a bit more random in how often it spawns, but in how it is meant to be dealt with each time, ideally a dynamic event should have several possible objectives, with each one having its own chain of possible events. But even this itself isnt really revolutionary, Trion may have broke the ground some with Dynamic events in Rift, but their really just a new type of 'quest hub' hopefully though, in future games the 'dynamic events' will be a bit more maleable. |
I do really like them, however my problem is playing alts there is no one around and so I cant complete most of the events as they are mostly grooup based... The decent ones anyway... |
Originally posted by Latronus That is like saying 3D graphics are nothing more than 2D graphics disguised in a different way and 2D graphics as nothing more than wall of texts just disguised in a different way because what you doing is killing stuff. Having bandits walking around dropping poison in the water system isn't the same as having a text saying those bandits standing over there are trying to poison the water system. In the end you kill bandits in both, but the method of delivery is different. DE's move quests from part text/part 3D graphics/part imagination to full graphical action. Currently playing: GW2 |
No wonder GW2 gets flamed so much on these forums. Thanks to obnoxious topics like these. As if OP want to encourage flaming even more. I am so sick of these buzz words like Revolutionary, next gen and blah blah!! This is such a subjective matter where as OP sounded more like facts and not an opinion. "The problem is that the hardcore folks always want the same thing: 'We want exactly what you gave us before, but it has to be completely different.' "Online gamers are the most ludicrously entitled beings since Caligula made his horse a senator, and at least the horse never said anything stupid." |
Originally posted by cronius77 http://www.guildwars2hub.com/features/interviews/dynamic-events-dev-journal-colin-johanson If you don't want to read all that, here it is: Are events an entirely brand-new system people have never seen before? No, they are not. They are our attempt to innovate on traditional concepts and elevate them to something different than what people have experienced before, while keeping alive enough of the old so that people feel comfortable with the system. It's worth noting that development on our event system started long before we ever knew about games like Warhammer Online or Rift, which share some commonalities with the events in Guild Wars 2. We learned lessons from their choices, but they never drove our core decision to use dynamic events. Focusing on what really makes dynamic events unique is really important in either enjoying them or in being disappointed based on the expectations someone may have for them. For us, the things that we expect from the dynamic event system, and what we think makes it unique, are the following: Unlike any game ever made before Guild Wars 2, these events are our core content model for the game world. In other games you might find hundreds or thousands of quests, and some events scattered around as well; we literally have thousands of events with additional content scattered around to help support those events. The events are the core world content in Guild Wars 2 and make up the bulk of the content in the game between the open world and dungeons, with stuff like more traditional-style renown regions and exploration challenges there to provide a supporting hand to the events. We believe this creates a fundamental paradigm shift in the way you play and experience the game. It's also worth noting that there was a thread for arguments like this: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/view/forums/thread/361194/page/1 |
Originally posted by Doogiehowser Got to agree. There are a few (both fanbois and haters) who simply lack any sense of perspective or objectivity when it comes to this game, but I find the threads like this one most objectionable. |
@ OP GW2 events are anything buy dynamic.. They happen at the same points over and over and over.. how on earth is that Dynamic? My 3D models |
Originally posted by aRtFuLThinG It also means in it's basic form change. And that's is excactly what Anet has done. If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |
Originally posted by Torgrim It doesn't simply mean change; you are distorting the meaning and the intent behind the use of the word, and for what reasion I really cannot fathom. Perhaps if you were to add a couple of premodifiers such as 'huge', 'complete', 'monumental' before the word change I might take your post more seriously. |
Originally posted by Piiritus Uh.. did I say they came up with them first? No. I did not. |
Originally posted by Gaia_Hunter Precisely. In addition to that, they change quests into group activities. Originally posted by Quesa Pretty much, but GW2 is a huge step in the right direction. |
Originally posted by ScaryMonk The meaning of the word Revolution is based on the French word "re voltere" which means revolver as a revolver spins fast and that means quick change. If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |
Originally posted by Torgrim I see you have added the premodifier as I suggested. Well done you. Although I would add that the derivation of a word (whether used as a desparate attempt to win an argument or not) is largely irrelevent to its current meaning. Likewise many words have alternate meanings, if we were to choose to read the alternate 'wrong' meaning every time the word in its context did not suit our argument we would still be using rocks as tools. |
You know... dynamic... like they happen without scripting. Sorry I just disagree, don't get me wrong GW2 Dynamic events can be entertaining, but they should be called "static" if anything. They lack much in the area of being Dynamic and even at their best, they don't pull off anything new. It doesn't do much in terms of making any changes in how things work, unless you wish to push making them more 'level boosting' of sorts as revoluationary. They just offer so little to really make any 'revolutionary' change at all. To their credit though, making a dynamic event system that is truely dynamic would be quite a difficult task to do, at least to make it less obvious of it being scripted. |
Originally posted by ScaryMonk True the words tend to have different meanings for different things I grant you that. What some gamers on this site think the word revolutionary means that It's something new that has never been done before same with the word innovate. If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |
Originally posted by Purutzil If you think GW2 DE are static then I guess you also think that the rest of the themepark games like WoW,RIFT,SWTOR are frozen then right? If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |

Spread the baby news with easy, iconic cards.
- Birth announcement template
- Glue
- Fabric
- Scissors
Step 1
To make a tiny snap T-shirt announcement, use our template and any leftover fabric lying around. Glue the T-shirt onto a plain-bordered card. Write the baby's information -- name, date of birth, and measurements -- at the bottom of the card, or use a specially made rubber stamp.
Step 2
Take pictures of your baby's face, using black-and-white film and natural sunlight (flashes are not good for babies' eyes). Ask the photo processor for a contact sheet. Cut out each frame, and glue the separate pictures on plain-bordered cards from a stationer. Rubber-stamp or write the baby's information at the bottom of the card.
Step 3
To create a little diaper pocket to hold a small card with all the details, use our template. Leftover wallpaper from the baby's room makes a good material. Fold diaper along dotted lines. Punch two holes at diaper's closure, and tie with a ribbon, or insert a diaper pin.
Step 4
Another idea: Cut paper measures to the length of your newborn, and tag with birth information. Buy tape measures at sewing stores (or get just one and make photocopies). Punch hole through tape measure to attach tag.

Our magazine has frequently professed its affection for the BMW 3-series, but the Audi A4 is certainly a very worthy competitor. Most enthusiast drivers, including myself, would be quite content driving a basic A4 such as our test vehicle. I like its palatable $39,180 as-tested price, too, which includes all the features I'd want in my own A4 (heated seats, sunroof, manual transmission, Bluetooth, satellite radio) and none that I'd skip (automatic transmission, navigation). It's also nice that a basic Quattro-equipped A4 costs some $2000 less than a basic BMW 328 with all-wheel drive.
I had several opportunities to test the A4's abilities in snow, and, with the help of its Continental winter tires, the Audi passed with flying colors -- and allowed me to pass slower traffic easily, safely, and quickly. When there was no traffic around, the A4 even showed off its rearward torque bias as I gleefully slid through slow corners with the tail hanging out. The Volkswagen Group's venerable turbo 2.0 liter offers excellent performance, too, and it's really cool to have a six-speed stick in a fancy-pants Audi. I was also fairly happy with the indicated 25.5 mpg achieved over 400 cold-weather miles, which included a fair amount of warm-the-car-for-the-new-baby idling.
I wasn't as pleased, however, with this car's sport package, which made the ride quality fairly harsh at times. The rear door openings also turned me off, as their relatively short height made it a bit tricky to load the kids into the back seats. If I were buying a new Audi, a taller Q5 would probably be my best choice, as much as I, a car lover, hate to admit. Also, the A4's low-beam headlights seemed really weak, although their alignment is likely just as much to blame as the lamps themselves.
The entire Audi brand just barely outsold the 3-series in the U.S. in 2010, with each boasting about 101,000 sales; about one-third of those Audi sales were A4s. So in addition to its other charms, the A4 should appeal to those who don't want to follow the crowd.

If someone is standing on the altar (maybe in a certain spot and if your camera is on a certain angle), and the altar locks (padlock animation), and you are spam clicking that person, then your champion will attempt to walk to that location as if your mouse clicks are clicking on the ground and not on the enemy. To clarify, I was playing ashe and I was killing vayne. she stood on her altar and it finished capturing, so the padlock animation came up. I used volley and then tried to click her again so I could keep auto attacking, but just as a the padlock animation came up, all ashe did was run towards vayne as if my mouse was clicking the animation and not the champ. QQ anyway was wondering if riot can somehow recreate this bug so that they can fix it.

Dear fellow gardeners: I am new to GardenWeb and this is my first post. I am an experienced gardener and have had success with both small space and large space gardens, sun, shade, etc. I have developed my hillside garden over ten years in.northern virginia. It's fairly steep at 2:1, 3:1, has mostly sun and some partial shade. I have multiple terraces with retaining walls. The last five years production has been excellent. Pix taken, amateur gardening website posts, etc. This year was totally different: From mid May into July we had constant rain and gray skies, with 1 or 2 partly sunny days each week. My plants came up and looked pretty good until early July when I realized they just didn't have that 'lush green' look you see right before everything blooms. Within a couple more weeks, mature perennials looked splindly, few leaves and few flowers. everything from liatris to echinacea to agastache looked bad. Other plants got crown rot, New plants never developed roots beyond the limits of the pots they came in. A 3 year old patch of monarda never got to two feet tall until september with almost no blooms. The only "normal" area was at the very top of the hill on almost level terrain All the "virginia clay" has been amended at 2 parts hummus/compost to 1 part clay or just replaced with garden soil over several years. I've also used groundcover against erosion. I started using Perma-till in late summer trying to add more aeration. In september, I planted four japanese anemones using Permatill for extra aeration.....they began to die within three weeks. Again, stems were soft, leaves wilted to nothing, unopened blooms dropped or didn't develop. My theory on this disaster is that, in spite of soil amendment and constant attention to drainage and erosion, gravity has nonetheless, over the years, severely compacted the rain soaked and saturated soil and maybe created some garden-wide disease or fungus causing garden-wide stunted, splindly plants with poor roots in both new and established plants. Anyone on a hill or otherwise had this happen? The only things I can do, if i'm correct, is garden wide aeration and some sort of disease/fungus prevention applied early spring into the soil. Please send any/all suggestions. Even magic, druid, or other rituals gratefully accepted. This has been a wonderful garden but i'm afraid i'm losing it. I have included photos from 2011-12 (good) and 2013 (bad) for comparison. Thanks in advance, |

I've owned this brush for at least a year and for the longest time, I didn't quite know what to do with it. I don't think it picks up product (loose or pressed powder) very well. It's good to apply a sheer wash of colour all over the lid, but it's difficult to build up intensity with it (which I need because I have visible red/blue veins on the lids, no matter how much concealer I use). I prefer to use brushes with shorter bristles for all-over-lid application, such as the Eco Tools one, for instance.
However, I have recently discovered that it's a wonderful blending brush! I've never used Alima's blending brush (or any other for that matter), so I can't compare, but this large shadow brush does a very nice job. After I apply colours to my crease and/or along the lash line with a crease and/or angle brush, I blend with the #39 to soften the edges (depending on whatever look I'm going for). I don't consider I have particularly large or small eyes and I think the size of the brush is just right. The bristles are soft and I haven't noticed any shedding so far. I recommend it, although you might want to go for a "real" blending brush if this is the only thing you're going to use it for.

Perfect brush for applying lid color and/or a general color wash, and I also use it slightly damp to apply mineral eye shadows. I've used this nearly every day since December 2007 and it's just like new! A fabulous price and a great investment.

I bought this brush to use with eye shadows both loose and pressed. But after reading the suggestion for #39 on Alima's website, I decided to try it for applying my undereye concealer. Now I have to buy another one for my eyeshadow! I love this so much as an undereye concealer brush - I use Alima's foundation and concealer - and it works so well under my eyes. The concealer goes on so nice and the brush is so soft, applies to my skin with no irritation at all and it covers great. I highly recommend this brush for both eye shadow and mineral concealer application.

This is from Alima's new line of synthetic brushes that I cannot rave enough about. I bought them all when they first came out and I have to say I love every single one.
This brush retails for $14 and is an HG brush for me! I use every single day for light colors as a wash or my base color. It is thick and picks up the perfect amount of eyeshadow, blending it nicely from browbone to eyelid. It is slightly domed with long soft bristles. I also use this sometimes to add a slightly darker color on my lid. Definitely a must-have eyeshadow brush!
