Discussing the success of DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3, the game's producer, Larry Liberty, said in an interview with NowGamer that the PlayStation 4 will be a 'great platform for MMOs'.
DC Universe Online, developed by Sony Online Entertainment, was launched in 2009 and became a free-to-play title starting November 1, 2011, and to date is one of the first and only MMO titles available on consoles.
"We proved that we could get a full-featured MMO onto the PS3 and that it could be very successful," Liberty said. "The majority of our player base is on the PS3, and we get thousands of new players each day."
Liberty went on to praise SOE for its efforts towards creating a stable environment for console MMOs and free-to-play titles, both of which were widely considered unthinkable at the onset of the current gaming generation.
"They've become a great partner, and are genuinely interested in effecting change that will make their platforms work better for free-to-play titles," he said.
Considering the success of DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3, the working relationship developers are forging with SOE, Liberty is optimistic regarding the PS4's ability to become a good source of MMO and free-to-play titles in the coming years.
"I would expect that, with all of the amazing features that have been announced for the next PlayStation, that it will be a great platform for MMOs," he said.
The PS4, despite little being known publicly about it, has already garnered considerable praise from developers and publishers across the board. More information regarding Sony's upcoming next generation console will be revealed next Monday at E3.

Last week, in "The Real Price of Chocolate," I wrote about the labor challenges associated with the expanded cocoa supply chain. This week, I want to focus specifically on child labor. To shed additional light on the topic, Quartz outlines the complex issues associated with child labor in emerging markets in "What Happens When Apple Finds a Child Making Your iPhone."
"There could be as many as a dozen different suppliers between raw materials and the finished iPhone, iPad, or MacBook you hold in your hand," Fernholz writes. "The most responsible companies look perhaps two or three steps down."
Apple faced a public relations disaster in 2010, when a wave of worker suicides brought to light bad working conditions at Foxconn factories in China. Foxconn built products for Apple, but also for HP, Dell, and others. Because of its success, however, Apple's reputation suffered the most. That same year, Apple found 91 underage workers in factories making its products. It was forced to closely examine how to improve its supply chain monitoring.
Stopping business with the supplier wasn't enough, because the problem would reemerge elsewhere. Going further, Apple adopted a program that makes the supplier pay for the education of any child laborers it is found using, plus pay the child wages until he or she graduates.
"The idea is to deter suppliers from hiring children, while making sure any they do hire end up back in school," Fernholz writes. The program was developed by Impactt, a social responsibility consultancy that works in China, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Turkey. Impactt staff people visit the factories to identify underage workers, meet with workers' families, and convince underage workers to return to school.
Sadly, Impactt reports that in 2011 only 34 percent of underage workers offered the package agreed to take part in the program. Why? Quartz reports that although workers might be hired when they are children, they often are discovered when they are of legal working age. Also, sometimes, underage workers prefer work to school. Lastly, and adding to the complication of this issue, is the desire to earn more money. "In China, as the economy grows with more and more foreign production, the cost of living has in the last decade started rising faster than wages," Fernholz writes. Additionally, "rising wages have put pressure on manufacturers to move inland, automate, or even get out of the country altogether. But for second-and third-tier suppliers who don't have those options, cheaper labor may be all that's left." Last year, Jeff Williams, Apple's senior vice president of operations, spoke to Bloomberg Businessweek about the issue of child labor. "Most companies, they either don't report on it at all, or they say they look for it and found none, or they obscure the data in some way. If they're not finding it, they're not looking hard enough."
Supply chain responsibility
Having a supply chain that includes the work of child laborers isn't just a public relations problem; it's a blight for the global economy. I brought the topic of child labor to you knowing there are no easy answers, but I think your contributions to the subject are invaluable. You know the complexities of supply chains, and you know what might work. Let's start the conversation. After all, I can't turn to a page in the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework and find the formula for eliminating this crisis.

Future Shop Discovers Nearly Half Of Canadian Grads Pursue A Different Career Than Originally Intended
Hottest products for back-to-school include laptops, tablets, smartphones and more
Announcement Highlights:
- Future Shop finds almost half of graduates do not pursue the career they originally intended
- Future Shop offers students the top five tips for optimizing their study time with technology
- Future Shop survey finds laptops top the list of must-have back-to-school products, followed by tablets, desktops and smartphones
BURNABY, BC, Aug. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - A lot can change during the years a student spends at college or university: interests, friends and even future dreams. In fact, almost half (43 per cent) of post-secondary graduates Future Shop surveyed 1said the profession they entered after university or college was not the same profession they thought they would enter when they started. No matter what profession they enter in the end, students are about to embark on an exciting journey and Future Shop and Futureshop.ca, Canada's leading destinations for consumer electronics and lifestyle goods, has the exciting stuff they need to succeed.
Now, more than ever before, technology is playing a vital role in students' lives. Whether helping them stay organized, complete assignments efficiently or making group work seamless, technology has transformed the school environment and helped students study smarter.
To help students optimize their studying time so they can balance their socializing time, Future Shop is providing them with the top five tips to making the most of their time: 1. Slim and light is just right From mobile phones like the new Blackberry Q5 (coming soon to FutureShop.ca to the HP Envy ultrabook WebID: 10225637), small and thin accessories are a student's best friend. Light enough to be carried around all day, these products are perfect for whipping out between classes and getting some homework done during the day. That way, the evening can be free for extra circular activities. 2. Boost your software IQ Nothing slows down technology-based tasks like outdated software. By updating the software on your laptop, you can enhance its security and overall performance. To avoid the dreaded hour-glass and to improve program functions, a simple update will make multi-tasking a breeze and offer students the flexibility and power they need when juggling study notes and term papers. Make sure you can keep up with your peers by installing Office Home & Student 2013 ( WebID: 10236494) and the latest antivirus program. 3. Graduate to a touchscreen Touchscreens offer a quicker, more intuitive way to interact with your computer - letting you tap, swipe and scroll your way to great grades and more fun. Inspired by the explosion of smartphone users in Canada, the power of touch, featured in products like the Toshiba Satellite touchscreen laptop ( WebID: 10257005 or Microsoft Surface Pro WebID: 10205741), transforms the way you do everything from homework to social networking and is now a cool new part of the future of computing. 4. Listen now, write later Students may find that they understand lectures and new material better when they're able to listen to the professor without worrying about writing notes at the same time. With today's smartphones, such as the Galaxy S4 ( WebID: 10248521), students today can tape lectures and play them back again and again, helping them retain the information for exam time. 5. Get connected Regardless of the features your new technology has, it won't help you study more efficiently if it's not set up properly or you don't know how to use it. Get the most out of your technology by letting a pro show you how it's done. Buying a new laptop but want to migrate your data from the old one? No problem: The experts at ConnectPro will install it right and teach you how to use your gadgets to your advantage. Top back-to-school products for 2013 When asked by Future Shop to name which items would help students the most with their studies, Canadians stated the following:- Laptop (81 per cent)
- Tablets (57 per cent)
- Desktop computers (45 per cent)
- Smartphones (37 per cent)
- Sound systems and televisions lagged behind, both with less than 10 per cent

Useful Tips on Investing in the US Penny Stock Market
These days, penny stocks seem to be more and more into the attention of stock investors, drawing also the attention of many beginners interested to run this activity with the obvious purpose of putting in little money and make big profits for the future. More than this, as a beginner you will have the chance to practice with small things before moving further on bigger investments.
Although this type of trading refers to penny investing, do not consider that it will cost you as much as a penny for your efforts. You should be very well prepared and work very hard until you reach the professional level in this industry. This is a helpful guide pointing you the basics on penny stocks to make your introduction much smoother.
* Learn about the definition of penny stocks. You should know that there are 3 ways through which penny stocks are defined:
1. The price per share is generally set for less than $5, although these stocks actually sell for a few cents, given their name.
2. The capital of the company makes this one be considered small and thus selling its shares as penny stocks. A small company should have a capital less than $50 million to be able to issue these penny shares.
3. Another way to define these penny stocks is revealed by the place where these stocks are traded. They are named penny stocks because they can be found listed on Pink Sheets, in OTCBB, and NASDAY Small Cap Market.
So, if you find a stock defined by any of the above, then you should know that this is what makes it a penny stock.
* Know the basics on trading. This involves the adherence to trading stocks principles that are listed in Big Boards – NASDAQ and New York Exchange. You should do the research on the company and run a technical analysis. After that you must know how to buy and sell profitably, following the market trends along with tips on stock investments.
* Know also the things that are positive and negative when it comes to penny stocks. For instance, be aware of the fact that penny stocks are very risky shares to invest into. It is a market which is very fluctuating not to mention that it lacks reporting requirements and control over the set regulations. This will require on your behalf more caution especially when you need to do some thorough research into the company that you want to invest.
Another thing that you should avoid is the information coming from the inside. This information will be released with the clear intention of attracting your investments into a company that is about to go down. The best thing to do, is to research on your own and make your decision based merely on your conclusions.
* Get yourself educated into penny stock trading as only in this way you will be able to become a good investor.

Symbian Qt Quick Components Competition 2012Q1
Package: redak URL: http://rzr.online.fr/q/redak Contact: Philippe Coval <email@example.com> Licence: GPL-3 (OpenSource Free Libre Software)
Redak is just a simple text editor to be used on touchscreen. Basic features are Load, Save, Save As, Browse and Edit text. It has been tested on maemo/meego harmattan n950 and n9 ...
Contents |
History of this project :
I needed a basic text editor to handle files on my handset ... So I created once a Qt texteditor under the name redaktilo as sample to teach Qt on desktop or tablets (n810) ... using QtGui was usable with a resistive screen (n810) but not on capacitives screens so I deciced to create it again from scratch using QtQuick...
Today supported platform are symbian and meego harmattan.
Basic features are ready to be tested :
- Load, Save, Save As, Browse and Edit text (select, cut and paste).
Features are very limited but enough for me ?
I can't promise I will polish it and add more features but it's opensource so I can promise i will make efforts to merge patches ?
The project is mostly based on QmL and uses C++/Qt for io.(load/save)...
IO access is done in C++ , the rest UI logic etc is pure qml Javascript
Used ones (symbian or meego) :
- PageStackWindow Page QueryDialog
- Menu MenuLayout MenuItem ToolBar ToolBarLayout ToolButton
- Flickable Column ListView FolderListModel Component MouseArea
- TextArea TextField Text
- Image Rectangle
- Connections
Since the project is opensource you can tear out and reuse my components :
Custom ones to be reused :
- EditPage : the text area
- BrowserPage : the file browser for loading saving pages
Problem Areas
First I created for harmattan then ported to Symbian, the main issue was a minor bug in C++ that prevent loading files (bad path workaround). I feared that was a security issue but it's not ...
Most of the qml code is common between MeeGo and Symbian. But I did not share common parts and I prefer to merge new features ...
I had to find also common images to reuse platform ones ...
- QueryDialog : Had to workaround this bug (using an extra '\n')
I wish I had a n900 to port it to maemo5 too or a RasperyPI to edit text on TV ...
I'll also plan to use it to test Qt lighthouse ports
Just open this link I tested "redak_qt-4_7_4_symbianBelle-0.4.0.sis" on NokiaE7

It was here in our garden when I moved into the house. It has the most lovely soft pink flowers with white on the inside. The flowers are semi double but not too frilly and the leaves are deciduous. Unfortunately it has been hit twice by falling limbs so I have no idea what size it should be, right now it is just one branch about 18" tall. I don't think it gets very big, though. Would appreciate any opinions! I'd love more of these. |

Manual transmission/transaxle
Posts: 1
in Ford
Has the Windstar ever been offered with a manual transmission (transaxle)? Does anyone know if one can be fitted from a different Ford vehicle?
8313354761 Posts: 2I have a 1985 corvette that has locked itself into reverse after giving me some trouble earlier in the day. but the main trouble had been going on for awhile, which was I cruise down the road and whatever gear I was in would make this airplane going down the runway noise... until I 'd push the overdrive button and everything would get quiet . Run fine tell I'd half to push the button to turn off, and it would get all noisey again... So later coming to a stop sign ,downshifting and the gears felt like a bowl of jello. Got it home ,backed in my driveway,put it in reverse, shut it off etc. etc. 10 min later go out put the key in and the shifter was locked in rev. .,backed it in the garage and there she sits. Whats wrong??? Trany? Gears ? Overdrive It's a 4 speed.
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855
wwest Posts: 10,706For almost as long as FWD vehicles have been commonplace the manufactuers have deemed it unwise to equip those with manual transaxles for sale to general buying public.
That may change now that VW has come out with a technique to make the combination less hazardous. The VW technique will automaticall uprev the engine if a downshift results in too much engine compression braking for conditions.
Manual transaxle in a FWD "soccer mom" minivan...no way. -
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855Manufacturer has not deemed anything, they simply build what people want to buy and for about 95% of drivers what they want is an automatic.
We did have a manual transmission in our first minivan, a 1989 Voyager. But in those days the manual gave you 5 gears, instead of the 3 in most automatics and it gave you significantly better mpg.
When we got our 2nd minivan, 1997 Windstar, automatic was the only option but at least it was a 4 speed auto by then. -
igozoomzoom Waleska, GeorgiaPosts: 797I'm sure anything is possible, if you are willing to spend enough money. I doubt it would be worth the cost, though. The same engines were used in trucks that, I assume, had manuals.
The two engines used in the Windstar were the 3.0L Vulcan V6 and 3.8L Essex V6.
The 3.0L Vulcan was used in '86-'07 Taurus but only with an automatic. The only front-wheel-drive application of this engine with a manual transmission was the '90-'92 Probe LX and '92-'94 Tempo/Topaz. The Tempo/Topaz used a slightly revised version of the 'MTX-IV' used in the '89-'91 Taurus SHO. It was designed and built by Mazda for Ford.
The 3.8L Essex V6 was used in everything from the Taurus and Mustang to the Lincoln Continental and Thunderbird/Cougar. The rear-wheel-drive Mustang was the only one that offered a manual transmission with the 3.8L. It was never paired with a manual transmission in a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
So, in theory, a Windstar with the Vulcan V6 could be modified to work with the MTX-IV. The Essex V6 has never been paired with a manual in a front-wheel-drive, so it's unlikely that it could be done without spending ridiculous amounts of time and money.
With all that said, a manual-transmission conversion is rarely (if ever) financially worthwhile. In an older minivan, it makes no sense at all...2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT -
dub_c Posts: 3i have recently lost first second and reverse in my sandrail, no noises that i heard, i have already pulled it once and replaced the nose cone and bench tested it, after i put it on i tested it again and then i put the motor on and tested one last time, with no motor on it went into first gear, i could not hold the transaxle shaft with it in gear and rocking the rail. I also put a new shift shaft on the rail, i can only think maybe the shift fork for 1/2/R either broke or the cinch bolt backed out. if u have any hints, tips, tricks, or ideas plz post, i have 2 days to either fix that box, or put a built bus box on for a desert trip. any knowledge of this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Every meal I put out for my family has heart and love put into every ingredient and every bite. I love making meal time an excuss to have a new experience for enjoying good food. I enjoy getting my kids involved in the kitchen with me so that can learn the skills to grow up into productive men and expose them to new foods they other wise wouldnt be open to trying.
We have a pretty eclectic variety of foods that i enjoy cooking, but i think our favorite would have to be italian, pastas, lasagnas, parmasean.... yuummmm. We love it all. But I try to change it up and keep variety. We love eating at Olive Garden, where i get lots of ideas for new dishs and have perfectly replicated the tuscana soup and the Chianti braised beef with wild mushroom risoto, my hubbys favorite dish.

Thanks again Sonic yall kick butt, and like i said ill be back fo sho. :)

Background Staining Technique
By: Theresa Cifali
Make more elaborate paper craft projects with this Background Staining Technique from Theresa Cifali. You'll love the gorgeous look of this staining technique.
- Tim Holtz's Adirondack Color Wash
- Watercolor paper
- Freezer paper or another non-porous work surface
- Paper towels
- Windex
- Since this technique involves introducing a lot of moisture to paper you are going to want to choose a paper that can stand up to that. I like to use watercolor paper. I used these small post card size that I will later stamp on and layer onto the front of a card.
- Before I get started, I cover my work surface with freezer paper, which you can find right in the grocery store. You'll want to make sure that you have the shiny side up as that will be your palette. It is the perfect palette because when you are done with your first set of color, you can just wipe it right up and start all over.
- After you've covered your surface, choose between 2 and 3 colors to create your design. Spray them right onto the freezer paper.
- I tried this technique with water and it will work. However, I discovered that the colors really pop if you spray some Windex onto it. Then it looks like this...
- Then you take your paper and press it down into the mixture. Tap the paper to make sure that the whole surface gets covered. Don't worry...the curling that occurs is normal. It will straighten out some as it dries and then pressing it under some heavy books will take it the rest of the way.
- Pull it up and lay it into a clean area of your palette. It is going to drip, so be careful.
- Take some paper towel and blot! Don't rub, just blot it to get the excess water off.

DOW, deer committee look at deer options
Tuesday, September 1, 2009
The Colorado Division of Wildlife and Craig deer committee left an informal meeting Friday with plans for progress.
Since its formation in 2007, the deer committee has been searching for an answer to what some residents consider a problem population of deer that live year-round inside city limits.
Bill de Vergie, DOW area wildlife manager out of the Meeker office, said he presented various options to committee members and community residents who attended an informal lunch meeting Friday.
The options include everything the agency considered biologically feasible, de Vergie said, from creating a special deer-hunting season for lands surrounding Craig, to education classes about how to keep deer out of a person's yard, to doing nothing.
Craig Mayor Don Jones, a committee member who attended the lunch, said he plans to organize a meeting with other committee members in the coming weeks and then make a presentation to the City Council about the DOW's given options.
In addition, de Vergie said the DOW will continue to assess the situation and look for any other ways to mitigate issue caused by deer inside city limits.

Wonder if the deer committee might be able to get the dog committee to let the numerous Craig delinquent dogs chase all the resident Craig deer out of town ??
grannyrett 5 years, 5 months ago
Wonder if it would work to get a recording of a mountain lion and have the police cars driving around play it on their speaker system. Don't know how all the dogs would react, but it might scare the deer away. Don't think they would have to play it very loud.
hanginj 5 years, 5 months ago
Let the games begin. There have always been deer in town always will be. The thought of anyone wasting time and money for something people find "charming" to witness is two steps past dumb.
als362 5 years, 5 months ago
In my opinion the deer were here long before we, Craig or even Colorado was here. If anyone should leave perhaps it should be us.
Ray Cartwright 5 years, 5 months ago
On the subject of "deer options" could we order some up with those bright headlights and chrome wheels
GreyStone 5 years, 5 months ago
Give the deer a break, they have enough trouble fighting off the lions, bears , dogs and some bizarre gardeners and flower people. When I was a younger person, Taylor street was on the far West, outskirts of town, where we used to hunt deer Summer and Fall, hunting season or not. Deer stew is a food group.

At AimHighProfits, we take research very seriously when highlighting and alerting on the best penny stocks and value investments on any stock market, including the OTC and PinkSheets. The penny stock picks issued at AimHighProfits are derived from the top penny stocks that we have evaluated for the best return on investment.
One of the newest marijuana penny stocks to watch right now is Med-Cannabis Pharma Inc., formerly SW China Imports, Inc. (OTCBB:MCPI)
Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. (MCPI) is a development stage company operating a medical cannabis collective, Townsend Herbal Collective, with plans on opening a second collective in the same general area of Washington State as the Townsend facility which will include a grow facility so that the Company can grow more of its own product and experiment with different levels of CBD concentration.
Shares of MCPI stock have been trading between .06 and .15 for the last 3 months after skyrocketing from 0.004 back in mid February. With New York having just recently adopted to legalize medicinal marijuana, the 23rd state to do such, testing facilities are sure to soon become a popular subject which immediately makes MCPI a prime candidate to target.

This is news to me, but apparently not the rest of the world. The Chinese are using a 5.8x42mm cartridge. Has anyone ever shot one? Wikipedia says the Chinese claim better ballistics than both the 556 and the 762x39. Seems like it would be a neat cartridge if that were true.

Never heard of it
I don't need No stinking signature.
My above post said better ballistics than the 556 and the 762x39. I was wrong. The Chinese are claiming better ballistics and barrier penetration than the 556 and the 545x39. The cartridge doesn't look like it is anything to really sneeze at at all. Seems well thought out and well made, with the exception of the metal cases...but all in all, seems solid. I'd be interested in someone who has shot one of these at distance. The Chinese claim flatter trajectory than a 556 out to longer ranges using 64 grain steel core rounds.
The Chinese claim a lot of things… Unless they specified the specific 5.56MM cartridge that it was supposedly better than, it's kinda hard to answer that question. With 5.56MM, you have options. Up-close and personal anti-personnel round that doesn't over-penetrate: M193 GP penetrator with better medium range ballistics: M855 Better barrier penetrator with better accuracy: M855A1 Better barrier penetrator: MK318 MOD 0 Better fragmentation envelope and distance and accuracy at distance: MK262 There are other rounds in inventory, like AP (uncommon), but you get the idea. If you look at the barrel length that M855 is fired from, it becomes apparent why DBP87/95 or later variants thereof are superior to M855. The test barrel length for US cartridges is 20". The test barrel length for their DBP87 cartridges is 557MM or about 21.9". The cartridge is the just about the same in overall length as US M855, the bullet is only 2 grains heavier, and less than half a millimeter wider. How superior do you think that ammo could really be to 5.56MM? Chop that extra two inches off the Chinese barrel and see which cartridge performs better. MK318 already does 2900FPS from a 14" barrel and about 3100FPS from a 20" barrel. If DBP87/95 does 3100 FPS from a 21.9" barrel and DBP10 does 2900FPS from a 21.9" barrel, which rounds are they superior to? Can you chop 3.9" of barrel off of their guns and get the same velocity we're getting from MK262 MOD 1? I'm a little skeptical of Chinese claims of producing superior ammunition or weapons.
On that note, 7.62x40MM Wilson Tactical cartridges basically make the AR equivalent to an 7.62x39MM M43/M67 cartridge in terms of exterior ballistics while permitting the use of most of the major basic AR components (magazine, bolt, bolt carrier, receiver). Obviously the barrel and gas port diameter on the barrel would vary. If you want to do something with an AR pattern rifle or carbine that's actually possible, someone probably already thought about it and did it.
After LSAT is deployed, it really won't matter if DBP10 is slightly better than M855. A Chinese QJY-88 weighs about the same as the SAW. A LSAT machine gun would weigh the same with 250 rounds of ammunition. With further refinement it'll probably be possible to produce an 8 pound belt fed machine gun. It won't take any genius in mathematics at their military sciences committee to realize that if we can field guns that weigh 50% less than theirs with ammunition that weigh more than 50% less than theirs and comparable ballistics that their soldiers are going to have to get a lot stronger or they're going to run out of ammunition long before our soldiers run out. I assume they are working on stealing that technology because they are not able to produce it themselves or they already would have, as the caseless ammunition technology suitable for military weapons is now several decades old.
The new Chinese cartridges made for their new guns are pretty guarded. There is less than a dozen worldwide as far as collecting.

Looking for a beach vacation? Let us help you find the right spot.
MoreMost Kolkatans rely on buses, trams, and the metro to get around, but you will probably rely on taxis, rickshaws, and your feet (the bus system is indecipherable, the slow, rickety trams are good only for an early-morning ride, and the metro is somewhat limited).
The base fare for Kolkata taxis is Rs. 20, and the meter should read about Rs. 30 after 5 km. The legal inflation factor, however, is 100%, and it changes periodically; so ask your hotel for the current inflation factor. If a driver refuses to turn the meter on, find another taxi. Traffic, unfortunately, plagues Kolkata, and it might bring your cab to a full stop amid humid air and diesel exhaust, so at rush hour you may just want to find a sweet shop and wait until it's over.
Auto-rickshaws are cheaper than taxis, but they're not as easy to find in the city center. At rush hour they can be more efficient (albeit dirtier) alternatives; taxis are liable to get stuck in traffic.

We like more than 90 percent of small farmers across the nation have full time jobs. We've been working every weekend since March 21st, non-stop. We've had some good times, great successes and huge failures. We are physically and mentally tired and looking forward to the colder days and slower pace.
Yet there is melancholy to the coming days. Putting the green grass covers on the gardens, getting the chickens on next years production beds and covering the strawberries. We are exhausted yet we do these choirs with a heavy heart. We need and want the break but there is something sad to the fact that we won't be outside for long periods of time tending to growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and watching the chickens frolic.
We'll get into canning mode so we have vegetables over the winter. The irrigation will be pulled and plants mowed from this years production fields I'll do a shallow till and cover the fields with winter rye and hairy vetch. Once that is done the place has been put to bed for the winter.
We then turn our attention to making Italian and French breads, the Italian cooking classes and keeping the chickens comfortable if the weather gets to extreme. I do lament the passing of summer, as hard as the work is, the sun hot and atmosphere moist, I like eating fresh vegetables out of the garden. I eat more vegetables now knowing there the freshest, safest money can buy and they are from our hands and our efforts. I'll miss the weekly interactions with our customers and talking about how to prepare a vegetable or certain dish. Our customers have been supportive, rejuvenating, focused, motivating and most importantly there.
Keep eating fresh and local, David did beat Goliath and we will again this time. Eat local, find a farmer that is growing healthy food. Tell your friends, your family and your colleagues about him or her. The more we speak out the safer our food supply should become.
Don't be complacent, there are some people like my wife and I who do extraordinary things in order to bring safe fresh foods to our community and there are people in your community doing the same thing for you. We all know of parents that have a child or children that have food allergies? Let me ask, how many friends did you have growing up with food allergies? I didn't have any; except for me I hated Brussels sprouts. Proportionally more humans are suffering from food born illnesses now then ever before, despite taking into account the increase in surface population. Haven't enough people given their lives just because they wanted a simple meal with maybe spinach or a hamburger with lettuce, or peanut butter treat?
Please don't underestimate the fight that we are in. Food is our energy, our fuel and a life sustaining force. Don't let the big Agra-businesses jam GMO foods down our throats, they've been killing us for profit and will continue to do so unless we the consumer stand up and say "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more" (from the movie "Network"). Demand more with your dollars, choose with your wallet. Money and the lack there of will make them notice. Choose to live healthy. Choose to stop playing Russian roulette with your food choices. Pass the word on it is too important to leave to the media and our officials. Start with your family and work out from there.
Buy Local - from a farmer not a chain advertising "Local"

Punish the fool
Now that they have caught the kid that sprayed the buildings they ought to make an example of him and give him enough juvenile time to discourage other fools from doing it. This is a serious problem in this country that costs over a billion dollars a year.
What Supremes don't
To the Sound Off commenter "What Supremes do," you were right that the Supreme Court is supposed to render an opinion on constitutionality, but that has not been the case since the 1970s. Look at how the opinions have been split along political lines. For instance, nowhere in the Constitution does the phrase "separation of church and state" appear. This came from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson 10 years after the Constitution was ratified to a group of Baptist ministers who wanted to be assured that the government wouldn't interfere with any public display of their faith. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a woman has the right to murder her unborn child, but the liberals of the Supreme Court would have you believe it does.
Hacks 'heart' unions
To "Speechless": The answer to your question is simple. The citizens of Methuen don't elect the City Council or the mayor. The unions do. This is why Methuen has the same old hacks running for office. The hacks know this and in return take care of the unions.
Thanks, teachers
I just want to say thank you to the sisters and teachers at the Presentation of Mary Preschool. My children have been so well prepared to enter kindergarten thanks to their educational program and the dedicated efforts of the teachers. I hope many others can take advantage of the kindness and guidance they show the children. You are truly a blessing to the future generations that will some day lead us.
Wrong turn?
Lots of great points in the editorial about the differences between New Hampshire and Vermont. But ending by saying Vermonters take Route 93 to go home? Maybe you meant Route 89. Route 93 does not go from New Hampshire to Vermont.
Good job, all
Many thanks to the mayor and the director of public works for the repair to the benches at Methuen's Riverside Park. The repair was long overdue, but now this beautiful setting has been restored. Realizing that funds and manpower are tight within the city's budget, this is one grateful park walker who truly appreciates this delightful "gem of the neighborhood."
Medicare scam
Another reason we need to deport illegal immigrants, not reward them: A woman in New York and her husband for four years stole Medicare blind. She had a fake identity for a doctor, wrote prescriptions and stole elderly patients' records. They stole $10 million. And our dear leader wants amnesty for illegals. The government needs to do a clean sweep and give illegals a one-way ticket back to the country they came from.

Reminder Assistant Editor Your kids might hear the word "museum" and balk, but you could use that reaction to start the explanation that the museum you're going to isn't full of stationary still-lifes, it's full of interactive science exhibits. Then you can explain what a balk is in baseball. (It's when a pitcher makes an illegal move which penalizes his team and advances runners on the other team.) The Museum of Science in Boston will be hosting the last incarnation of the "Baseball as America" tour from now through Sept. 1. The tour is billed as "a national celebration of America's romance with baseball and is a once-in-a-lifetime venture that only the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was capable of creating." Since the tour began in 2002, showcasing a mere two percent of what is on display at the shrine in Cooperstown, N.Y., it has attracted more than 2.3 million visitors nationwide. The exhibit in Boston is the tour's 15th and final stop. At the ribbon cutting ceremony on June 12, Hall of Famers Eddie Murrary, Dennis Eckersley, Wade Boggs, Carlton Fisk, Carl Yastrzemski and Bobby Doerr were on hand to help open the exhibit, as were Dr. Ioannis Miaoulis, the Museum of Science president; Jane Forbes Clark, chair of the Hall of Fame; John Ferraro, Global Chief Operating Officer of Ernst & Young, the exhibit's sponsor; Dr. James Sherwood, director of the Baseball Research Center at UMass Lowell; and Peter Gammons, ESPN columnist. "It is fitting to finish [the tour] here in Boston because of the city's passion," Clark said. She described the touring museum as baseball's version of King Tut. Ferraro said, "We saved the best for last." He noted that Red Sox Nation is alive throughout the United States. If you're a Red Sox fan -- or just a big baseball fan in general -- this exhibit is a must-see for both young and old. It features a jersey worn by Red Sox pitcher Cy Young, a glove worn by Doerr, a bat used by Ted Williams, a silver bat awarded to 1967 American League MVP Yastrzemski, batting gloves worn by Boggs, Curt Schilling's infamous "bloody sock," the baseball caught by first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz for the final out of Boston's 2004 Series sweep, the cap donned by Clay Buchholz in his second major league start, when he no-hit the Baltimore Orioles, a glove worn throughout 2007 World Series by Jonathan Papelbon and so much more. On top of all the wonderful, historical artifacts, there a variety of interactive displays in "Baseball as America" in the Home Plate Baseball Lab. Visitors can test their reflexes against a 95 mile-per-hour fastball, learn about pitching momentum inside the pitching cage, try out different pitching grips, see what the inside of a baseball looks like, test the difference between aluminum and wooden bats and see how baseballs react to different turfs. (This reporter personally enjoyed the pitching cage, although my aim wasn't what one would call stellar.) "Baseball as America" is a great way to share history and fun with your children this summer. "It is who we are," seminal sportswriter and broadcaster Peter Gammons said of baseball. "It ties people together. When I watch a game, I know what it is to be 12 years old again." But wait, there's more. Even if there isn't a baseball enthusiast in your family, the museum offers much more. Watch "The Alps" in the Omni Theater in stunning 3-D. Learn "What Happened to Pluto?" in the new planetarium. And really, who doesn't like dinosaurs? Visit "Dinosaurs: Modeling the Mesozoic" to learn the most up to date information about the prehistoric beasts. If you want something tamer, there's the butterfly garden. See the world's largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the Theater of Electricity. Learn how your body works -- from what you put in your mouth to what's inside your genes -- in the Human Body Connection. A family could easily spend a full day at the Museum of Science, so make sure you stop by the museum cafe to grab some lunch. It offers Mexican, pizza, pasta, salad, fresh fish, sandwiches, ice cream, grilled goodies (including "Hot Dogs as America," which offers guests to savor the flavors of 10 unique hot dogs from across the country) and Starbucks. The best part of this trip? Even with the air conditioner pumping in your car, you can make it to the museum and back on less than a half tank of gas. If the traffic's bad, it might take two and a half hours to get to Boston; if the traffic's good, it will still take about three and a quarter hours to get to Cooperstown, and at least 45 minutes of that journey is not highway. (Trust me, I know -- I worked there for five years.) The Museum of Science is open now through July 4, Saturday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. From July 5 through Labor Day, hours are Saturday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Basic ticket prices for adults (12 to 59) are $17; seniors (60+), $15; and children (three to 11), $14. Combination tickets for up to three shows are extra. Don't balk at the idea of a museum as a one-day vacation spot -- make a home run with your family this summer.

Nation Topics - George W. Bush
News and Features
Instead of Bush's imperial presidency, America needs the vision of
Congressional progressives: rapid withdrawal from Iraq, universal
healthcare, campaign reform and a shift to renewable energy.
As his State of the Union message approaches, we deserve a rest from the fundamentalist presidency of G.W. Bush, whose guiding principles are antithetical to democracy and will only accelerate our decline.
If we are suspending the law in deference to Bush's unchecked impulses,
let's call it by its proper name: Benign lawlessness? Gitmo Governance?
Fear Factor?
The time has come to call for the impeachment of President Bush. Any President who maintains he is above the law--and acts repeatedly on that belief--seriously endangers our consitutional system of government.
Revelations of the Bush Administration's domestic spying program have sharply shifted the focus of Samuel Alito's Supreme Court confirmation hearings from domestic and social issues to executive privilege during times of war. Here's a list of questions Alito should be asked to fully elicit his views on the scope and limits of presidential power.
Since I am Commander in Chief,
My powers to spy or debrief
Are limitless. That's my belief.
So go somewhere else with your beef.
Chastised by Russ Feingold for extrajudicial spying, the President who would be king invokes the divine right of kings.
The Bush Administration believes it can ignore the rule of law--in pursuit of torture, Pentagon surveillance of antiwar groups and now, domestic spying. We must continue to insist that in a democracy, the rule of law cannot be ignored.
A belligerent President has vowed that warrantless domestic spying will continue. He also hopes to quash open debate of the issue in Congress on security grounds. Given the palpable outrage over the President's contempt for basic constitutional law, will illegal wiretaps lead to the undoing of the Bush presidency?
The Bush Administration is not a dictatorship, but it has all the markings of one in embryonic form. Bush has declared himself to be above the law, and members of Congress have no choice but to accept the challenge. Either the President upholds the laws of this country, or he must leave office.

Jim Matheson holds on for slim win over Mia Love after final vote tally
SALT LAKE CITY — Republican Mia Love narrowed the gap on Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson after the outstanding votes were counted but not enough to keep him from a seventh term in Congress.
As expected, Matheson held his Election Day lead and escaped with a slim victory in Utah's new 4th Congressional District as counties released their final election results Tuesday.
Matheson ended up defeating Love by only 768 votes, his closest race yet. He owned a 2,646-vote lead before provisional, mail-in and paper ballots were counted. A total of 238,838 votes were cast in the district.
To force a recount, Love would have had to come within 488 votes, one for each precinct in the four counties that comprise the district.
But state Republicans aren't ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Utah GOP Chairman Thomas Wright said some provisional and mail-in ballots in Salt Lake County were disqualified, while others were accepted. GOP poll watchers, he said, weren't able to get all their questions answered about the counting process as the county tabulated votes.
"We'd like to get those questions answered to ensure that every vote is counted," Wright said. "We're not making any accusations. We're not saying anyone did anything wrong. We just want to be sure."
Democratic Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen said she doesn't know what Wright is talking about. Poll workers, she said, went through ballots two and three times in an attempt to validate them.
"(Poll watchers) were here day in and day out asking questions, and we answered everything they asked," Swensen said. "They were there right in the room as we were verifying provisionals, so I don't have a clue what he's referring to."
Matheson, meantime, is relishing his victory.
After what Republicans threw at him this year, he sees the seat as his for as long as he wants it. The Republican-controlled Utah Legislature made sure the new district remained conservative, while the national GOP backed Love with unprecedented money and resources. She also had Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket.
"I don't think the moon and the stars can line up any more than they did this time against me," Matheson said. "They threw the kitchen sink at me this time. If it wasn't successful, I don't see how it could be in the future."
Matheson said he developed a campaign plan based on knowing the race would be close. He said he worked hard, raised the money and differentiated himself from Love.
A Deseret News/KSL poll just days before the election had Love leading Matheson 48 percent to 43 percent.
The difference came down to Salt Lake County, which has six times as many voters as the other three counties in the 4th District combined. Though Love gained on him in Salt Lake County since election night, Matheson pulled enough votes overall to offset Love's big margins in Utah, Juab and Sanpete counties.
The poll showed Matheson leading Love 48 percent to 44 percent in Salt Lake County. But pollster Dan Jones said Matheson would have to do better than that to win, and he did, capturing 52.5 percent in the county.
Neither candidate expected the canvass to change the outcome, though Love clung to the remote possibility of a reversal.
Calling him a survivor who won on conservative turf, the Washington Post named Matheson one of the best candidates of 2012. With polls showing him behind late in the race, "he overcame the odds to defeat one of the highest-profile Republican House challengers in the country."

World Wide WoW: Upcoming "Gold Farmers" documentary {WoW}
Dec 21st 2008 1:27PM the gold farmers and the corporations are almost one and the same persons.
You imagine a developed system but in truth it's just kids wasting their life on computers, not caring about school or a job or the reality of life out there.
Gold farming does damage the economy. All the gold goes into the AH and you realize items there are a lot more expensive than you can afford.
I would never wish death on anybody though, I just don't feel bad for them. Gold farming is not the _only_ choice. It might be an easy one but it involves doing immoral things so it's the wrong one

Use Case 2 (most actual fort me): I'm going to track some important but *delicate* projects with my android phone. It has pin protection but it's not enough (e.g. I click it, put it aside for a moment, then anyone who accaionally pick it up and clicks todoist sees all my life :) )
So it would be nice to
* have some login expiration option in settings so I have to enter my password (say, after 30 mins of inactivity)
* some additional PIN like in sweet SpringPad
- it also would be nice to have such option is settings too
I know there is a possibility of manual log out but that's not the case.
