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.
[OS] US/AFGHANISTAN/MIL-Troop morale in Afghanistan plummets, report says

WASHINGTON a** As fighting and casualties in Afghanistan's war reached an
all-time high, U.S. soldiers and Marines there reported plunging morale
and the highest rates of mental health problems in five years.
The grim statistics in a new Army report released Thursday dramatize the
psychological cost of a military campaign that U.S. commanders and
officials say has reversed the momentum of the Taliban insurgency.
Military doctors said the findings from a battlefield survey taken last
summer were no surprise given the dramatic increase in combat, which
troops reported was at its most intense level since officials began doing
mental health analyses in 2003.
"There are few stresses on the human psyche as extreme as the exposure to
combat and seeing what war can do," Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, the Army
surgeon general, said at a Pentagon news conference.
Some 70 percent to 80 percent of troops surveyed for the report said they
had seen a buddy killed, roughly half of soldiers and 56 percent of
Marines said they'd killed an enemy fighter, and about two-thirds of
troops said that a roadside bomb a** the No. 1 weapon of insurgents a**
had gone off within 55 yards of them.
[ For complete coverage of politics and policy, go to Yahoo! Politics ]
Most of those statistics were significantly higher than what troops said
they experienced in the previous year in Afghanistan as well as during the
2007 surge of extra troops into the Iraq war, the report said.
Some 20 percent of troops said they had suffered a psychological problem
such as anxiety, severe stress or depression. Considering the intense
levels of combat they are seeing, that number may actually be small, said
Col. Paul Bliese, who led the last three survey teams to the battlefield,
in 2007, 2009 and 2010.
"We would have expected to see a much larger increase in the mental health
symptoms and a much larger decrease in morale ... based on these
incredibly high rates of exposure" to traumatic combat events, Bliese
said. The report's authors took the statistics as evidence that the force
is resilient, a trait the military has been working to develop in troops.
The report is a snapshot of the health of the forces in Afghanistan last
year, drawn by a mental health team that polled more than 900 soldiers,
335 Marines and 85 mental health workers on the battlefield in July and
August, as troops surged into the country under the Obama administration's
new strategy for fighting the insurgency.
President Barack Obama sent an additional 30,000 troops there last year to
build the force to the current 100,000. Commanders and administration
officials say the push has weakened the Taliban, and a limited troop
withdrawal is planned by this July.
Troops said they were receiving better training in suicide prevention and
other coping strategies and that mental health treatment was easier to get
at the warfront.
"I do believe we're making progress," Schoomaker said.
But a particularly stubborn problem for the Army persisted: About 50
percent of soldiers said they believe getting professional help for their
problems would make them appear weak. Defense officials have gone to great
lengths over a number of years to encourage troops to get treatment, and
Marines made some headway in reducing the perceived stigma, according to
the report.
Americans "have not solved this problem in the civilian world," said Dr.
Robert Heinssen, a research director at the National Institute of Mental
The military says it boosted the mental health staff in the Afghanistan to
1 for every 646 soldiers last year, compared with 1 for every 1,123 in
"War affects everyone ... and most are able to deal with their experiences
and move on to stable, productive lives," said Joe Davis, a spokesman for
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. "Key to coping with those experiences is
available care, access to care and knowing that you are not alone."
Some of the report's highlights:
a*-c- Only 46.5 percent of soldiers said their morale was medium, high or
very high last year, compared with 65.7 percent in 2005. For Marines, it
was only 58.6 percent last year compared with 70.4 percent when they were
surveyed in 2006 in Iraq. (The report compares numbers of the Marine to
their time in Iraq because they were not in Afghanistan in significant
numbers before the surge.)
a*-c- Nearly 80 percent of Marines and soldiers said they'd seen a member
of their unit killed or wounded, compared with roughly half who said that
in the earlier years.
a*-c- Nearly 1 in 5 soldiers and Marines reported psychological problems
such as acute stress, depression or anxiety last year, compared with 1 in
10 among soldiers in 2005 and about 1 in 8 among Marines in 2006.
a*-c- The use of drugs for mental health or combat stress was lower among
soldiers and Marines than among civilians in the same age group.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
I've spent a solid week reading through all of the posts concerning failed upgrades to 1.4.0. I have the luxury of having a development environment that I could trash and not worry too much about. I had a mirror of my production site loaded on the development environment. The steps I followed to get the update to work were:
Back up your config.xml (at the very least, your database (structure and data)) Delete all of the files in magento/var/cache
Download the full 1.4.0 archive and expand it over the 126.96.36.199 version replacing all of the files in the magento directory. chmod everything in your root (magento directory) to 777. chown all of the files and directories to the user and group your web server runs as.
You should be able to log into the admin interface at this point. Go to Configuration->Magento Connect. Click the Check For Updates button. The entire installation will turn biege with the 1.4 versions noted. Scroll down to the Mage_Core_Modules item and select the upgrade to it. Make sure Clear all sessions after successfull install or upgrade is checked, hold your breath and click on Commit Changes. You should see more than just the Core Modules download and update. This step is also making quite a few changes to your database. I ended up with 301 tables after this step.
Click on Return to Admin. Once back in the admin panel, go back to the Magento Connect page. Click check for Updates. At this point you should see that you have the majority of 1.4.0 installed. ***Note: you DO NOT want to update the default\blue frontend template. Doing so will cause any 1.3ish templates you have loaded to look pretty funky. Repeat the Check for updates, select an update, run it, return to admin, go back to Magento Connect until you see that you have everything other than the default\blue frontend template updated.
I've run several test transactions through the system, changed a user's password, sent a newletter, added more items, created new categories and ran reports. All seems Ok… An iteresting item that I saw that is new is the Widget item in the CMS menu. I got real excited thinking that I may have a way to create menu\sub menu items on the front end other than category related items (like the URL to a second, third, fourth store)… No such luck.
I hope this helps some poor sole that has found themselves becoming "Konan the Librarian" with this upgrade.
Almost forgot; MAKE SURE you go back through your installation and set the permissions back to normal after the upgrade.
Thanks very much for this posting. One thing I'm not sure about is what the original permissions should be set to. How can we find that out? Thanks again!
but what about extensions? are they upgraded one by one?

Student Enrollment Database Software 7.0
- Shareware
- Sobolsoft
- C: \ Others \ Finances & Business
Entries organized in a table
The application is designed to provide fast navigation with a straightforward interface and no shiny visual elements to distract you. Most of your attention is targeted on the student database. It's simply a table that displays an organized view of entries along with their ID, level, room, personal details, medical records and a few more.
Provide thorough student info
All these categories can be managed when adding a new student to the database. The application is not just oriented at a specific level, but open up to kindergarten, sophomore, as well as senior stages. This level is picked in the student information window, with the possibility to also add personal details ranging from name and home address, to guardian information, medical records, financial status, as well as attendance.
Good but far from being a pro
There are no custom fields to add, but you'll find that the existing ones are enough to meet any demand. What bothers, though, is the curiously disturbing simplicity of the interface, which makes it slightly difficult to manage. Minor technical tweaks are required, with some creation steps getting you stuck or find yourself with duplicate entries.
What's more, the application makes it incredibly difficult to find a specific entry in the database. There is no search engine to help you in this regard, and more, the table cannot be sorted out, even though it's got a plethora of criteria.
Generate reports and print them out
Besides getting stuck in trying to organize a database and taking your time to include all details, the application also lets you issue a fair number of report types. Once you select the category, which can be all students, medical information, attendance by date, or students by room, the generated document is ready for printing, or to be saved as TXT or HTML.
To end with
In a nutshell, Student Enrollment Database Software is based on a solid concept, however the overall implementation of features leave a little something to be desired. Moreover, you'll have a hard time putting it to good use in a crowded environment due to the lack of sorting and searching options. Feature set is decent, but can only be used on a small scale education system.

I love the Jungle mocs. Wear them winter and summer. Easy to take care of, even after snows. The are very long lasting. I will continue to purchase them.
Sized as Expected
Winter in the snow. Easy to slip on and go out to get mail or newspaper.
Love these light weight shoes! They let air flow thru and feel really good!
Sized as Expected
I am a hairdresser and I work in them and they are very comfortable.
I have been wearing only Merrell shoes for many years because they cup the heal and help keep my ankles from turning in. I have had to change the type of shoe because my feet have gotten narrow again and the others are too wide. This style has a tighter fit than the ones that I have been wearing.
Sized as Expected
every day
Very cool and comfortable footwear, spending 5-9 hrs. a day on concrete floors.
Sized as Expected
Alternate between Moab ventilators and these for work
I bought this shoes 3 weeks ago and I since I received it I use it EVERYDAY because are so confortable. Are perfect. Thank you merrell!
Larger than Expected
All the time!

Cause you don't have to swap discs like I did on my PlayStation 15 years ago.
Cause online play is free.
Cause it gets more than 2 exclusives a year.
Good enough for me!

The Xbox 360 will chew up your discs. You can't explain that.

I've heard that too. Thing is, I'm still on my launch controller from my phat PS3 and that has had some mega fooking hammer and still holds a consistent charge for hours
The L3 is about shagged though from COD and suffers with a bit of creep. Hell, it's had a hammering over 6 years or whatever so I can't complain!

Looking at these ps3 vs xbox 360 threads is hilarious because it shows people true feeling. Some of these people i would thought to be on the other side.
Remember that i'm going to die is the best way I know to avoid trap of thinking you have something to lose, you're already naked, there's no reason not to follow your heart.

I have a USB extension lead I use for my controller charger cable. Doubles the length it's very handy.
Also picked up some triggers so they actually feel like decent triggers.
The rest of the problems, yep all present. Free online is great but I wish we had XGC!
Still love my ps3 though

That takes many years for the batteries to go bad. I would rather replace the controller once every 5 years than one every couple days on the Xbox. Not to mention the rechargeable battery pack on the 360 sucks ass! That thing lasts maybe a year. And if I am not replacing the damn battery pack, I am replacing the usb cord to charge it.
Many people knocked Nintendo for being cheap with the Wii. Look at the damn 360 lol. Old dvd drive, batteries, and infrared.
07-12-2012 #18
1. yep
2. yep
3. yep
4. yep
5. I have 12ft usb cords for charging and playing.
6. yep
7. yep
8. yep
9. hmmm.... I'm ok with this one because of all the other material I've utilizing for the money.
I have controllers that have been used so much over the past four years and haven't had a single battery issue at all. No problem there.
Same with the 360 recharge batteries... I've had them over four years and haven't had to replace a single one. Play -n- Charge cable x2, over four years old as well. Maybe things stop working when they are used improperly.

Then there's something wrong with the gear you buy bro. Five people using the controllers that I have so they are used extensively. I've not had to replace the recharge batteries at all. I can put a video up on youtube, a tutorial on correct methods for plugging in the controller.
07-12-2012 #22
I really need to get a play n charge kit.... Y_Y hate swapping batteries so often haha. I keep forgetting to pick one up

Bought my PS3 in early 2007.
Never had a fault with it *touches wood*, the controller still works really well, buttons aren't spongy and the battery life still outlasts my 360 controller.
In the same time I have gone through 4 360's due to red light, got sick of it and went and bought a Slim 360.
So yeah, PS3's are pretty reliable in my experience.

Southern Illinois Salukis (7-16)
@Northern Iowa Panthers (15-9)
Tuesday, January 31
McLeod Center
Attendance: 3,466
Southern Illinois
Northern Iowa
Cedar Falls, IA (Sports Network) - Deon Mitchell scored a game-high 17 points as the Northern Iowa Panthers came back to beat the Southern Illinois Salukis 58-49 in Missouri Valley Conference play at McLeod Center.
Mitchell finished just 3-of-11 from the field but 10-of-13 from the foul-line for Northern Iowa (15-9, 5-7 MVC). Chip Rank came off the bench to score 13 for the Panthers, who snapped a two-game slide.
For Southern Illinois (7-16, 4-8), Jeff Early tallied 13 points and Mamadou Seck added 10 points and eight rebounds. The Salukis have lost four of their last five.
Southern Illinois held a 22-19 lead at half. Both teams shot poorly in the frame, with the Salukis making 30.8 percent of their field goals and the Panthers connecting on just 28.6 percent of theirs.
The Salukis were leading 39-36 with 8:09 left in the game before the Panthers went on a 9-2 run to take a 45-41 lead with just over five minutes to play. A Kendal Brown-Surles three-pointer moments later cut the Southern Illinois deficit to one, 45-44, but that's as close as the Salukis would get as Northern Iowa finished the game on a 13-5 run.
Northern Iowa went to the foul-line more than twice as much as Southern Illinois, converting 20-of-28 from the stripe compared to 8-of-12 for the Salukis.

Texas Letter
The following letter was sent on July 30 to the Texas State Board of Education.
July 30, 2009
Dear Texas State Board of Education,
As the education coordinator of the Kochhar Humanist Education Center of the American Humanist Association, I am deeply concerned about the social studies standards currently being set in Texas public schools. Recent reports that advisors to the Texas School Board have recommended a new social studies curriculum that would present the United States as having biblical foundations and would minimize our nation's strong tradition of separation of church and state are troubling.
Speaking as a former elementary school teacher and college professor in the area of curriculum development, I strongly urge you not to adopt such a curriculum, which would not meet vital standards of historical context and accuracy and would do children in Texas public schools a great disservice. Any social studies curriculum that Texas adopts, in order to meet the highest standards of academic excellence and historical accuracy, must refer to America's secular heritage and our tradition of religious pluralism.
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin and many other patriots believed that our government did not ground itself in Christianity or the Christian bible, but rather the United States Constitution, a secular document. In fact, nowhere in the Constitution is there a single mention of Christianity, God, Jesus or any Supreme Being. There are only two references to religion and both use exclusionary wording: the First Amendment says that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…" and Article VI,
Section 3 says that "… no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
With regard to America's tradition of religious pluralism, we need only look at the abundance of churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and shrines throughout the country to see the positive effects that a secular society divorced from religion has on religious freedom and diversity. Pluralism has always been an important strand in the United States' history and character, and the religious landscape has always been dynamic and diverse. As President Barack Obama recently stated, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslin nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." President Obama's words are not only relevant for today, but speak truth to the United States' respect
for pluralistic religion and belief that was established at our country's founding.
We believe that it is important to teach about the significance of religion in history and society. But when that subject is taught, it should be taught in an objective and unbiased way. Fortunately, there are organizations which have resources for teaching about religion at all grade levels. I call your attention to OABITAR (which stands for "Objectivity, Accuracy and Balance In Teaching About Religion"), and I strongly urge the developers of social studies standards in Texas to become familiar with the 36 lesson plans in their web site—which, as
they state, are committed to "national pluralism." Two of the outstanding curriculum resources are "The Bill of Rights Is For Us Today" and "Different Drummers: Nonconforming Thinkers in History." I also urge you to study their six position statements, the last of which states, "Teaching about religion in public education needs to serve the interests of a pluralistic society, preparing students to meet with aplomb the full spectrum of religious and nonreligious diversity within the public realm."
We would, of course, be very pleased to discuss our position with you further and to work with you in any way we can to assure that all students in your state receive a balanced, objective and comprehensive historical perspective.

Interview with Seth Godin, The World's Greatest Blogger!
American Way Magazine calls him, "America's Greatest Marketer," and you probably know him as the world's greatest blogger. Seth Godin is the Author of 14 bestselling books, founder of Squidoo, and he's an inspiration to countless marketers, bloggers and writers around the world.
Seth says more meaningful stuff that matters than anyone else, with fewer words than anyone else, and when I recently asked him the below questions for Positive Writer's launch, he was true to form with concise, yet profound answers.
Exclusive Interview with Seth Godin
It's nice to have you here, Seth. Thanks for the opportunity.
Q: In another interview you mention that in business school you were good at answering conceptual questions, but really bad at building spreadsheets. A lot of people get caught up with constantly trying to improve their weaknesses, what advice do you give those who do this?
Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do. (Click to Tweet)
Q: You are very open about your mistakes and failures and you've become quite successful. What do you attribute to your success?
Making more mistakes than other people. The key word is 'more'. You have to play well enough to get more chances to make more mistakes!
Q: You love helping people achieve their dreams, but what first compelled you to be interested in helping others?
Is there any bigger privilege?
Q: People talk about taking risks all the time, and you actually do. Why do you live so close to the edge?
The edge is a great place to be. Inside the box is too dark. Outside the box, there's no leverage. But on the edge of the box, you can get things done!
Q: What drives you to write every day?
Probably the same thing that drives other people to talk every day. I just talk in written form.
Q: What would you like people to remember you for?
I'd like to be remembered by the impact that people who have read my work have had on the world.
Thank you for your time and answers, Seth!
Seth's latest project is The Icarus Deception.

Portraits – Julia Gogosha of Gogosha Optique
Occupation: Optic specialist and boutique owner
Address: 3208 1/2 Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake; 8238 West 3rd Street. gogosha.com
Why we like her: Lucky for us, Julia has had a passion for glasses since her teenage years. Decades of enveloping herself in the world of optics have given her the kind of knowledge into this niche industry that can't be acquired via shortcut. "A lot of the designers I'm carrying I've known for a very long time. We basically grew up together," she says. "I won't allow any brands in my store that haven't proven that they have staying power otherwise I can't guarantee my customers the kind of long term service I want to give them." Only the highest quality frames make the cut but impeccable production isn't enough. "The design has to push the envelope, and bring something new to the table," Julia explains. We love that! (Check out Julia's guide to the Eastside and West 3rd Street after the jump.)
(A small part of Julia's private collection. Believe me, it's only a fraction of what she owns!)
Where are you from? Made in Ukraine, raised in Detroit, with a pit stop in New York City.
How long have you lived here? Since Spring 2003.
Where do you live in LA? I live in Mount Washington and Gogosha Optique lives in Silver Lake and West 3rd Street.
Favorite restaurant in your hood: Eastside: Breakfast – Little Dom's. Lunch – Forage. Dinner – Polka for heaping portions of yummy polish food. On West 3rd: Breakfast – Joan's on Third. Lunch – Simplethings Sandwich and Pie Shop. Dinner – The Little Door.
This place makes the best coffee/tea: A toss up between Intelligentsia and LAMILL on the Eastside and Kings Road Cafe around West 3rd.
Coolest store: Eastside: Mohawk General Store. West 3rd: OK.
And that's what I bought there: From Mohawk General Store, I recently found an amazing solid pyrite (Fools Gold) cube pendant necklace. From OK, a Phillips/Flathead screw heads earring set.
First three adjectives that come to mind when describing your neighborhood:
Eastside: progressive, creative, transitional. West 3rd: manicured, resilient, horn-rimmed.
Favorite LA artist: Mark Ryden.
Best kept secret about your neighborhood: The "Music Box Steps," from the Laurel and Hardy short film The Music Box (1932), are located in Silver Lake on Vendome Street, just off of Sunset Boulevard.
When I need a time-out, I go to: Boxing classes with Pepe Riley at Wild Card Gym.
The one thing that's a must-see in LA: An evening with Marty and Elaine at the Dresden.
Why did you pick this particular location for your business? Silver Lake was the perfect neighborhood for us. The community reflected our independent business philosophy of 'No licensees, No Labels, No Logos', and was immediately receptive to our die-hard independent nature and the independent, handmade eyewear collections we champion. Our expansion to West 3rd Street was in response to one question that we were asked over and over… "When are you opening on the Westside!"
Favorite moment at your business: Making believers out of skeptics and friends out of strangers.

I have a gas pipe that supplies the hot water heater and a fireplace. It used to run underground (you can see where it came out), but for some reason it was moved to run along the patio overhang by the entry, down the wall by the front door and into the house. We cant put it back underground because it would mean cutting the concrete. It really is unsightly and many people have remarked that it needs to be moved. I have a plumber who is doing all of the plumbing work on the house (install new faucets, toilets, etc.). He says it will cost $900 to move the pipe so that it runs along the roof (instead of along the overhang in plane sight), down through the roof and inside of the wall. It would only entail moving the pipe a few inches to a foot or so, but it means hiding it in the wall and putting two holes in the roof. We would not be moving the gas meter. I didnt know if this is a fair estimate. I would call other plumbers out there, but with him working on the house, I would feel awkward doing this. If this is a fair bid, than I will do it. Thank you for any help. I can post pics later today if that helps. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seems high to me. I had something like that done several years ago and it was about $200. Now your construction may be complicated in ways I can't see from your diagram, but it doesn't look that hard and shouldn't take very long. How about getting another plumber or two to take a look on the weekend or in the evening to get around the discomfort issue? |

soooo im cooling my wort yesterday...and I use a immersion chiller...right before I'm done a piece of pollen from an oak tee flies in there. I didn't want to stick my hand or anything in there as I didn't have anything clean and sanitary to get it out with...what do you guys think my chances for infection are? btw...its been about 16 hrs and no activity yet. I oxygenated but did not make a starter...OG 1046. I had a great brew day... then this happened.
Oh, man, that's rough! Do you know (roughly) what temperature your wort was at? Given what you said above, I'm assuming it was relatively low, which reduces the chance that the potential contaminate got pasteurized and killed. Honestly though, I don't think there's anyway to surely calculate your chances of contamination at this point. Given the fact that you are introducing an sanitized and formerly living foreign entity, there's obviously a chance at contamination. I don't think this would effect your fermentation start time, though. I just had a 24 lag in fermentation start time on a beer I created re-using 001 California Ale yeast, so 16 hours (without a starter) doesn't seem that bad. My advice is to just ferment away and hope for the best. There's a decent chance your beer will turn out fine and contamination free (perhaps with even a bit of polleny accents)!
well...thanks for the optimisum...i just checked it ...there is a little foam...but like a filmy look to the wort...the yeast too is clumpy, and looks to be on the sides of the carboy...this isn't looking good. the wort was in the high 70's at the pollen addition...
You may be creating a new strain of yeast.
the x men of yeast
do a search on here about "does this look infected" that should put your worries to rest.
your fine
you say you didn't use a starter, but how much yeast did you pitch? One vial? One dry pack? Was it an ale or lager? I seem to think that the more of the brewers yeast you added, the less likely a foreign yeast or other bug would be able to take root.

Anthony (Tony) Jack is a PhD. Candidate in Sociology and an Associate Doctoral Fellow in the Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality & Social Policy at Harvard University. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, he made the trek north and entered Amherst College as a first-generation college student in 2003. After four incredible years, Tony graduated from Amherst with a B.A. in Women's and Gender Studies and Religion cum laude in 2007. On the day of graduation, the New York Times released a biographical essay chronicling his experiences at Amherst. In the subsequent year, he served as the Amherst College Alumni Fellow and began consulting with colleges, high schools, and enrichment and pipeline programs that help academically talented, lower-income youth gain access to selective colleges and universities. He continues this work today.
At Harvard, Tony is interested in race, culture, education, urban poverty, and qualitative methods. More specifically, Tony researches present-day experiences of lower-income undergraduates at elite colleges and universities in the context of race- and class-based affirmative action measures in admissions. His dissertation outlines the overlooked diversity in lower-income undergraduates' trajectories to college and examines how these divergent pathways, and the accompanying precollege experiences, affect undergraduates' social experiences once they enter the college gates. Tony's research also examines how African Americans respond to racism and discrimination in their daily lives. His work appears in the Du Bois Review and Sociological Forum.
Tony holds fellowships from the Ford Foundation and the National Science Foundation, and is a graduate student affiliate at the Center for American Political Studies. In addition to his academic work, Tony serves as a Resident Tutor in Mather House.
Outside of work, Tony enjoys rediscovering amazing shows via Netflix, walking along the Charles River, exploring cities through their culinary gems, escaping the real world through works of fiction (from James Baldwin to J.K. Rowling), and documenting new adventures to places near and far through photography.

Hit me up
I realize I haven't been attentive to blog comments since first thing this morning, with so much going on. I've scanned most of them, mostly just for bad language, and otherwise ignored content. Being out of the office for lunch, practice and dinner from about 12:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. didn't help. If you have a question that I didn't get to today, post it in this entry and I'll get to it. That way I don't have to sift through everything else today looking for questions. Thanks.

It certainly does the job, too! The firm bunny ears make sure that plenty of the power is transferred to where you need it most.
The girth isn't massive, but it's thicker than some so bear this in mind. So if you're looking for a powerful vibe that does the job and is built to last, I would definitely recommend this one. (Posted on 03/04/2013) - Carly s's reviewReview by Carly s

So, all three go to the clerk to check in, and pay 10 dollars each (like I said, the company is trying to save money). After the guys check in, the manager checks over the clerk's work, and realizes the guys were over charged. The room was $25 not $30. So he sends the bell hop to the room with 5 one dollar bills. The bell hop, not knowing how to split 5 dollars between 3 people pockets 2 dollars and gives each man 1 dollar. So each man paid 9 dollars and the bell hop has 2. Where did the extra dollar go?
Each person paid $9 (after they got their dollars back). That makes the total they paid $27. $25 for the room, and $2 that the bellhop kept. Elementary, dear Watson! :-)
question were you on a bus?

This is taking so long, I actually bought 3 at the beginning. I tried each one. They didn't work. I called customer service. They wouldn't take them back. I sold them on eBay for $79.99. I came back here and bought 3 more. I tried each one. They didn't work. I called customer service. They wouldn't take them back. I sold them on eBay for $79.99. And I'm back for more.

I have just completed week one of TurboJam, and am ready to start my new schedule this week. I am inspired, on track, and scheduling and tracking my workouts and weight loss.
I had some sort of breakthrough on Halloween in regards to my weight, and actually coming to terms with WHAT I weighed. I knew what the number would be ABOUT on the scale, I just was pretending I really wasn't as big as I looked.
Beachbody has really been inspiring to me, and with 2.4 pounds down I have decided that when I reach 10 pounds (maybe 15) I will begin to coach, and inspire others on basically make time for themselves. I finally realized I NEED to make time for me.
And believe me, my life doesn't have much time .
If others wish to comment on this thread please do so, I would love to hear from others too!
So, I have decided to change things up a bit. I have decided to be a beach body coach and transform myself while I help others along the way. I always do better with a challenge, so I have decided that I am going to put both feet in and GO FOR IT. I am loving loving LOVING Turbo Jam, and I am looking forward to my workouts!
If anyone would like to come on this transformation journey with me, please contact me, or head to my site below!
I soooo wish the biggest loser competition hadn't already started! I would love to be there with my April 08 ladies!
I had my 2nd weigh in day today and could not be happier to see another 3.2 pound LOSS on the scale. I finally feel like this is all going in the right direction and I see no sign of stopping. I didn't get my workout in last night, but I had parent teacher conferences and by the time I got home at 7:30 got Landon ready for bed, I was passed the exhaustion stage. I ate well for the day though, so I am not going to be hard on myself about it. Life happens.
So I have officially finished week three on Thursday. I am down 9 pounds and haven't had more energy and a positive influence in my life in awhile.
Actually I worked out about an hour ago and I am going at it again because a friend is up and I think she would really love it. So, I am off to burn more calories. I will be back to update more.
So 9 pounds down finished with week 3 and onto Thanksgiving week! I can do this though! I am drinking shakeology on my lunches and loving it! Feeling full, getting nutrition my body has needed for SO LONG and just having more energy and an upbeat attitude! I for once can see the weight coming off, ALL OFF in the future! I can do this!
I am already starting to figure out my next route for workouts. Don't get me wrong I love Turbo Jam but I am thinking Turbo Fire might be the best birthday present I could ask for! Kick it up a notch! Brazilian butt lift has my curiosity too, but a wonderful friend may let me borrow it in a few weeks to see how I like it! This one is much more reasonably priced too so I could fit in in before Feb, and then still add the Fire route in and get on a new level, and hopefully shed more pounds that are stubborn months down the road!
I cannot wait for the next biggest loser challenge to start! I am ready to go with my april 08 belly busters, and hope we can continue our wonderful journey together!
Hello all! I am on a journey to a better me and 2011 is going to be an amazing year for me, and hopefully you too!
I want everyone to know that there is 2 days left right now to sign up FREE (40 dollar fee waived) to be a coach at TEAM BEACH BODY! With this you get 25% off all products (P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire....plus my favorite SHAKEOLOGY)! As a coach you can save $300 dollars a YEAR on shakeology, and i'm addicted !
I am also in the biggest loser challenge this round and hope many of you are too! This site has been a great community for me (still is), and I hope i can connect with many of you on a journey to a healthier you!
Please check out my page below and message me with and questions you may have~
I joined beachbody a few months ago to begin my weight loss journey and have been surrounded be a group of amazingly supportive and awesome people!

Pulled out old foam back vinyl from berths...what now?
I have just stripped the old foam backed vinyl from the berths of my Ericson 32. After 30 years, the foam had disintigrated and there was evidence of mildew on the back of the vinyl.
I have some signs of water intrustion in the quarterberth, and during a recent storm I saw a few slow drips. I rebedded everything I could, but I still get a little water there. What should I use as a hull liner? I like the look of the foam backed vinyl, and I also like the sound dampening properties, but I am concerned about mildew. Any other ideas? Thanks, Chris |
Here are a couple of replacements for the headliner. You could also just paint it.
http://www.sailrite.com/headliner-vinyl-white http://www.sailrite.com/Headliner-Pe...m-Backed-White |
Thanks for the link.
Any suggestions on something that wouldn't retain moisture? I was considering some indoor/outdoor carpet, or something that would have an easier time staying dry. |
I wouldn't recommend carpet of any description in any function on a boat, except perhaps a small mat at the base of the companionway. It's a moisture magnet.
While it's labour intensive you could use closed cell foam as a "liner" (ensolite or even the sleeping pads used by campers) and cover it with a vinyl type material. Or you could "upholster" plywood panels and fix them in place somehow but that's tough to do with compound curves, of course. Another tack to take is glue in some vertical furring strips and "plank" the inner hull (called the ceiling) with cedar or teak battens. You can use a layer of foam behind it if you wish, or leave it open-seamed and ventilating. This makes for a very nice nautical look. |
There is an article in the most recent Good Old Boat about using foil faced foam insulation board wrapped in fabric. The auothor used it successfully on compound curves. You should probably fix the remaining leak before using any type of panel, upholstery, or fabric. Otherwise you will just be farming mold. If you can't track down the last leak, paint may be the best option.

I Am The Trireme
Last Known Status: Active
Latest I Am The Trireme News
Below is our complete I Am The Trireme news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
I Am The Trireme Posts New Music Video
Dark Harvest Records is excited to announce that Philadelphia death metal act I Am The Trireme has released a music video for "Repulsed By The Sun." Check it out below. "Repulsed By The Sun" is off the band's latest album "Unholy," which hit stores on June 4th.
I Am The Trireme Reveals "Unholy" Album
I Am The Trireme has announced the "Unholy" album will see release via Dark Harvest Records later this year. The label comments:
"Few bands can match the ferocity and sheer brutal combination of melodic death and vile symphonic black metal that I Am The Trireme (pronounced 'i am the tri'reem') has conjured.
"Hailing from Philadelphia PA, IATT bring forth a relentless, fast paced, crushing wall of blackened brutality and haunting melodies. IATT announced to day the release of their latest album Unholy on Dark Harvest Records. Unholy is the re-imagining and re-recreation of IATT's debut self release titled Unholy Divination."
IATT guitarist Alec Pezzano explained the project, "As artists we have grown immensely in the past three years (since Unholy Divination's 2010 release), and pushed ourselves in ways we could have never imagined. We still loved the material from the original Unholy Divination, but had a new vision for what those songs could have been. Thus Unholy is the re-telling of the nightmare from a much wiser, darker, refined IATT. While the original Unholy Divination was in essence a window into a world of black magic, conjuration, and the occult; Unholy is the promised return to that world, culminating with the bonus track, Finding It Hard To Maintain."
The "Unholy" album was produced, mixed, and recorded by IATT's Jim Jenca at his personal studio. Drum tracking was done at 0x1 Sound Studios in Cherry Hill NJ with award winning audio engineer Jason Ruch. Mastering was done at Arcane Digital Recording in Chandler AZ by Ryan Butler. More...

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is aiming to implement an assault weapons ban for the state.
Quinn has talked about the issue since the massacre in a Colorado movie theater. He spotted an opening in legislation (SB 681) that would have allowed people to buy ammunition by mail from companies within the state (it's already legal to mail-order ammo from out of state).

'Nebraska': a road trip to filial understanding
A 3.5-star review of "Nebraska," a road-trip movie directed by Alexander Payne, written by Northwest resident Bob Nelson and starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte as father and son.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Nebraska,' with Bruce Dern, Will Forte, June Squibb, Bob Odenkirk, Stacy Keach. Directed by Alexander Payne, from a screenplay by Bob Nelson. 110 minutes. Rated R for some language. Guild 45th.
"He just needs something to live for," says David (Will Forte) of his father, Woody (Bruce Dern), who's hellbent on taking a road trip from Montana to Nebraska to claim a million-dollar sweepstakes prize. David knows the prize is bogus, but he knows that his elderly dad — crotchety, waddling, wearing a perpetual expression of angry bewilderment at a world that doesn't make sense anymore — needs to believe it.
"Nebraska," a wonderful not-quite-comedy/not-quite-drama from Alexander Payne (the screenplay's by Northwest resident Bob Nelson), is the story of a father and a son, and of how they come to understand each other, just a bit, on a trip back to Woody's roots in small-town Nebraska. But there's nothing sentimental about this tale; Woody doesn't have a twinkle in his eye, and he isn't remotely lovable. Nor is his perpetually complaining wife, Kate (June Squibb), or their distracted older son Ross (Bob Odenkirk); you wonder where David, a sad-eyed man who works in an electronics store and lives a treading-water life, got his kindness.
Filmed in eloquent black-and-white (suiting the unadorned plains that Woody and David drive past; you feel the heaviness of the clouds), "Nebraska" unfolds with few words. David doesn't know what to say to his father; the taciturn Woody offers up observations rather than conversation. (On Mount Rushmore, as they pass by: "Doesn't look finished to me. Warshington's the only one with any clothes.") But you sense, in Dern's note-perfect performance, a man looking back at a lifetime of disappointment (a common theme in Payne's films), and wondering if that's what his son sees, and what his legacy might be.
Nothing miraculous happens in "Nebraska," or in Nebraska — that million dollars, as everyone but Woody knows, doesn't materialize, and Woody doesn't magically become a nicer guy or a better father. But it has moments of uncanny grace, made all the more beautiful by their dryness: a family, briefly, pulling together; a son suddenly understanding his father's dream; a tiny moment, at the end, of unexpected triumph. Its final scene, both mundane and transcendent, is like a silent movie; two lives changed, however fleetingly.

When brand first came out before people really knew what he did I had an enemy warwick and xin zhao running towards me under my tower with no creeps nearby, they were stood right next to each other and I cast my ult and they both died pretty much instantly
Was blitzcrank when i was roling teleport i had just recalled and my team was completel out of position around mid so itell them to poke/bait and asked the jungler to pop a ward in the middle of thier team. Just as he places it they initiate and ofcourse ehs amumu so he just ults there whole team and ther st of my team comes in kills the carry. And then i pop up right behind them on the ward grab punch annie to death and ult for a double ks on the support and top. Good times
sometimes when i play nid top (AP) i make a security line with traps, well i was against a jax, and he killed me (minute 5 - 6), but he lived with just a bit of health, he went to the bush to recall, stepped in one of my traps, and died xD
Another one was when i as playing mid brand i had to pick first so naturaly the enmy mid goes kass ithink well great now im f'd. Of course kass was free this week so i thought maybe i had a chance seeing as i main brand with smartcasing. As soon as i hit lvl 6 kass did soon after and waht do i see but myself in about half lane closer to my end and udyr runs from my unwarded right side (i know i didnt ward shhh) my jung was no where nearby and hes in stun form and sprinting liek a gezel so i decied to hold my ground i bait udyr pop comflagration on udey and stun him with sear before kazz ports in then quickly finish off the nearby melee minon with pillar of flame. Kass jumps me and now hes inbetween me and the now unstuned udyr so he has to patha round kass saving my life probably i amnage to pop pyroclasam before kass can silence me and 3hits to kass and two to udyr later leaves kass to die of an aouto attack and blaze and udyr to die of aouto chasing a conflag and ignite. All in all a good match i ended up snowballing for agood 17 5 12 fun fun times
First game as Ahri Q+W Kill at lvl 2... earliest kill EVAR(I suck at getting kills)
I was playing morg in S1 and I had just picked up a double with a few Q W combos, eve had escaped in the enemy jungle with almost no health and as Im walking away my ulti lights up I pop it and grab the tripple on an invis eve who thought she was safe
Data Scientist
I once followed Ezreal around a turret about 3 times in a circle. Finally killed him. I think he thought the turret would stun me, but my minions were there!
Season one, when sunfire capes stacked, playing as eve. Kill people while stealthed, with the aura only. best. time. ever.
lol i never get kills and i AD
As Ashe, I was in the bot lane, split pushing. Fight breaks out top lane, I shoot an arrow towards it. Enemy kog'maw almost gets killed during the fight, manages to run away, hides in a bush. My arrow hits and kills him. He hated me.

#131 The Case of the Two-Cent Candy
Years ago, I wrote about a retail store in the Palo Alto environs—a good one, which had a box of two-cent candies at the checkout. I subsequently remember that "little" parting gesture of the two-cent candy as a symbol of all that is Excellent at that store. Dozens of people who have attended seminars of mine—from retailers to bankers to plumbing-supply-house owners—have come up to remind me, sometimes 15 or 20 years later,… (more)

Whether you're looking for a red urn because it was your loved one's favorite color, red reminds you of your loved one's personality, or quite simply, a red urn coordinates with your display space, we offer an artistic collection of beautiful red cremation urns.
In our red urn collection, you'll find a selection of glass urns and metal urns ranging from rich, ruby red colors to striking, bright reds to more whimsical, rosy shades. You'll also find other urns for ashes that use red as an accent color or a secondary shade, adding energy and visual interest to each piece.
Red Urns Make a Statement and Attract Attention
Red is a powerful and intense color that can actually create a psychological response ― an increased heart rate and breathing. While your red urn may or may not evoke that type of reaction, it will certainly attract attention and can be a strong focal point in any room.
Red cremation urns are ideal for loved ones with lively and bold personalities. While the meaning of red varies widely from culture to culture, in the United States red often represents strength, excitement, energy, bravery and ambition, as well as more fervent emotions, such as love, anger and passion.
