on May 23, 2012I am certainly going to be one of those people who celebrates the 40th Gawd anniversary of the Watergate break-in come this June 17. I intend to wallow in Watergate as thoroughly as I did at the time. I will recall the works of Gordon Liddy, who volunteered to kill Jack Anderson, and then volunteered to stand on a streetcorner if the Nixon people wanted to shoot him in order to keep him quiet, and whose plans for the 1972 Democratic convention were so bizarre they scared John Mitchell to the depths of whatever he had that passed for a soul. I will remember fondly the pranks pulled by Donald Segretti. I will call to mind Mexican checks, modified limited hang-outs, smoking guns, and Fred Thompson in wide lapels. I will wallow, I will.
(And not for nothing, but my old Conde Nast running buddy Tom Mallon's novel Watergate is a terrific read. There was even a millisecond in which I felt sorry for Nixon, but that passed, and he remains history's yard waste.)
These were criminals with great imaginations. These were crooks of great vision. And what do we have today?
Turner claims the email sent to Democratic Party spokesman Graeme Zielinski was a prank it was very specific. It reads in part: "If you are willing to pay good amount of money, I am willing to give you the email and password... this could be used to your advantage if you knew what to do with it." Zielinski and the Democrats contacted the district attorney.
I mean, honestly, Republicans, where's your pride? Where's the old CREEP spirit? Where's the breadth of innovation that proposed to catch Hubert Humphrey, of all people, in a floating brothel off Miami Beach? Howard Hunt wept.

Letting Go Quotes, Sayings about moving on - Page 4
It hurts to say goodbye to someone you love but it's the best for both of us to move on.
Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?
Just give me time and I'll get over you.
Moving on is simple, it's what you leave behind that makes it so difficult.
If someone you love hurts you cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
Because love was not the answer to every question. Because real love meant sacrifice. Sometimes love means letting go.
– Melissa de la Cruz
Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.
– Steve Maraboli
Letting go of your ego opens the door to taking a new and creative course of action.
– Suzanne Mayo Frindt
Sometimes, it's ok to let go of some people, to help them understand your value and importance in the future!
Giving up and letting go are NOT the same thing. One says you weren't worthy of the prize, the other says you ARE the prize.
Sometimes we have to let go of whats killing us, even if its killing us to let go.
I made a choice to finally let go, because I can't stand the pain, it's time for my last tear to fall and smile again.
People think it is holding on that makes you stronger, but sometimes it's letting go.
There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.
– Elizabeth Berg
Letting go of someone you love is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't even feel the same is much harder.

Quick request as far as the two factor authentication goes: any chance of implementing TOTP in addition to the email/SMS? There's plenty of clients that can handle the protocol already, so it's not like you'll need to create a LoL-specific app.

Why is Jason, the hacker, still allowed to play the game and post on the forums? Why am I allowed to chat with him in the game? And he's been using the same account for several days (PVP), even though he could get a new one if you tried to ban him. But why haven't you even tried? You're letting him run rampant.
Thunder God Olaf
Hi Riot staff and employees I am not happy with the fact that our info was compromised, I am however extremely pleased have not tried to cover it up, Dont see this as a dark day Riot, Rather a turning point where a business can actually still be honest and still do extremely well. As far as i'm concerned You guys have done an excellent job I'm sorry things happened on your end but with the level of honesty in revealing it to us, makes me feel safer at night knowing that you guys are being truthful as well as trying even harder to keep out accounts and stuff safe. Thanks for being an awesome company even when things get tough.
i can't even update league at all it was running fine earlier today but ever since this latest update. Do not know if it is just me. But it downloads then stays at 99% for step 1 and will not go past that. Do not wat else to do
Steven Mcburn
So this happened because they changed the forums right? Something that they didn't need to do and had all the time in the world to make sure was right? ........
how will we know if our account is in jeopardy?
i changed my password and i am unable to log in now
So, what about this supposed hacker?

"Shepherd…plays piano with old-soul authority and composes rich, evocative music." Peter Hum, The Ottawa Citizen, CANADA
Kyle Shepherd, one of South Africa's leading progressive pianists and composers of his generation, is fast gaining international recognition for his distinctive compositional style and performances.
The 2014 Standard Bank Young Artist of the Year Award winner for Jazz already has a well-established record of celebrated solo and trio performances in South Africa, Europe and Asia.
2014 is proving to be a highly successful year for the twenty-seven-year-old virtuoso pianist whose industriousness has been rewarded with the release of 2 new critically acclaimed albums this year, adding to his tally of 3 South African Music Award-nominated releases – fineART, A Portrait of Home and South African History! X.
Dream State, a 21-track double album of his Trio, was launched in South Africa in July while Into Darkness, his debut solo piano offering, which was recorded in Japan was launched with a tour in the South-East Asian country in September that included a performance at the prestigious Tokyo Jazz Festival. In another milestone for the year, Shepherd heads to the USA for the very first time for a series of performances with Kesivan [Naidoo] & The Lights with the highlight being a show at Carnegie Hall, New York on the 30th of October 2014!
As a pianist, Xaru player (traditional mouth-bow) and composer, Shepherd has forged a unique compositional and performance concept that pays homage to all his musical influences and the many great musicians he has worked with, all while continuing to look forward musically in a way, which, in the words of the great South African Jazz writer and historian, Gwen Ansell, "live in the jazz world but are never imprisoned by it".
Shepherd regularly performs in concert as a Solo pianist, while also leading his Trio with Shane Cooper (double bass) and Jonno Sweetman (drums).
In 2013, Shepherd performed his special festival-commissioned music project, Xamissa, Place of Sweet Waters, to critical acclaim at the Festival d'Automne à Paris (Paris Autumn Festival).
Apart from South Africa, Shepherd has also performed in Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, France, Denmark, India, Malaysia, China, Swaziland, Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe, with notable concert appearances, either as a solo pianist or trio, quartet and other formats at Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord and L'Onde Théâtre et Centre d'art as part of the Festival d'Automne à Paris (France), The Bird's Eye Jazz Club (Switzerland), Jazzwerkstatt Festival Bern (Switzerland), Reformierte Dorfkirche Kleinhüningen (Switzerland), Klubschule St. Gallen (Switzerland), Der Sendesaal, (Germany), Hallenbad Kultur Am Schactweg, (Germany), The Tokyo Jazz Festival (Japan), Body & Soul Jazz Club (Japan), Shikiori (Japan), Kaho Gekijo Kabuki Theatre (Japan), The Aarhus Jazz Festival (Denmark), The Cape Town International Jazz Festival (South Africa), The Joy of Jazz Festival (South Africa), The National Arts Festival, Grahamstown (South Africa), Harare International Festival – HIFA (Zimbabwe),The Tianjin International Jazz Festival (China), No Black Tie (Malaysia), MICA (India), B-Flat (India) and The Gonsalves Mansion 'Home of Jazz' (India).
Album & Concert Review Highlights:
"… it's in his linking of international influences with his own local traditions that his strength lies." - Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast [UK]
"… a straight-ahead modern jazz piano sound, where well-crafted melodies are the vehicle to coast over the surface of tight, dynamic rhythms." – Dave Sumner, Wondering Sound [NY, USA]
In the 'Dream State' album's liner notes, renowned arts journalist, Percy Mabandu succinctly described the ethos of the trio in this way:
"There's a palpable connectedness they share as players, a connection that also touches attuned audiences at their live performances too. This band is on a search for more than beautiful notes. They are asking more of the music. Its corporeal and ethereal aspects are invoked into the simultaneous sound ritual. Each performance takes on the nature of a meditation and as Zim Ngqawana said, 'the music must lead us towards ourselves'. "
"Repeat listening to the same material on record underlines what a distinctive voice Shepherd now has. Those fragments of musical home that have always characterised his compositions and playing are still there; the reworkings, though, are often unexpected and subtle, emerging from a modern and personal pianism that isn't in anybody's shadow. Dream State joins an impressive 2014 list of albums of the year." Gwen Ansell, Arts Journalist, Author & Historian, Business Day
"As a composer and arranger Shepherd is proving to be one of the chief architects of modern Cape jazz." Andre Manuel, The Cape Times
"This is improvisation as a search for freedom, "freedom from", yes, but also "freedom to", a key to unlock the doors of music making in the future". Miles Keylock, Editor-in-Chief, Rolling Stone South Africa
In his review of the Trio album, "A Portrait of Home", international music critic, Marcus O'Dair | The Arts Desk UK, commends the work of the Trio. "A Portrait Of Home sees Shepherd, together with Shane Cooper on double bass and drummer Jonno Sweetman, creating music of subtle yet tremendous power. Though the technique of all three is undeniable, this is no antiseptic chopsfest: it is music of genuine passion, meditative and stately but always emotionally engaged. It has groove at its very core, with hummable, stripped back melodies on top – and not just in the "head" sections that traditionally top and tail jazz arrangements."
In his Foreword to Shepherd's Debut Album "fineART", internationally acclaimed South African music legend, the late Zim Ngqawana had the following to say about Shepherd's music:
"Authenticity is another word for originality and this is clearly evident in Kyle's compositions, arrangements and improvisation. He has managed to find a balance between the intellect and intuition. Kyle is a meditator and a poet."
"I believe that on fineART, Shepherd carries the torch for this style of music." Don Albert (Financial Mail)
"(His compositions) unashamedly display his cultural music traditions, drawing on the unique rhythms, harmonies, and melodic devices of what Kyle calls "music from home". Carol Martin (SAJE – South African Association for Jazz Education).
"It's this 'Proudly South African' tradition that audiences can expect to hear" … "which sees the multi-instrumentalist navigate an impressionistic collage of South African jazz sounds, from slam poetic minimalist re-imaginings of Afrikaans volksliedjies and Muslim calls to prayer, to goema groove deconstructions, tributes to Abdullah Ibrahim, Ngqawana's philosophy of "Zimology" and more that, as the doyen of South African jazz scribes Gwen Ansell pointed out in Business Day recently: "live in the jazz world but are never imprisoned by it". Miles Keylock (Mail & Guardian)
"Shepherd's jagged edges and questioning dissonances sound far more like Ibrahim at the start of his career than his magisterial solemnity. The young player's plaintive little minor-key segues into fragments of musical fragments represent a sonic collage of his city, much as pianist Robert Glasper's sounds (also heard this year in Cape Town) collage the jazz history and hip-hop present of New York. " Gwen Ansell (Business Day / The Weekender)
"Shepherd is an outstanding pianist …. His ability to craft extensive melodic passages and tangents takes one on a musical journey." Keenan Oakes (Artspoken, Artslink)

Winston Smith, the hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.
The year 1984 has come and gone, yet George Orwell's nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is still the great modern classic of negative Utopia.

Re:USPTO Mission (195 comments)
the USPTO must defer that decision to the courts.
The problem is that the courts seldom make those decisions. The threat of expensive legal action is used by these patent holders to basically extort money from companies. Out of fear the companies settle with the patent holder, and they are free again to swing away with their questionable patent simply because they have the financial clout to do so.

Santa is a member of the Q continuum.
November 27, 2011
Laura Grace Weldon/
- 13 Comments
- Entertainment
A few decades ago I indulged in some concerns about the likelihood of Santa's existence while playing with a neighbor kid. A reasonably science-minded kindergartener, I wondered aloud how reindeer could fly without wings. I speculated about the chimney girth problem and the issue of children who lived in fireplace-free homes. And then, as if no one else had encountered these breaches in holiday logic, I asked how Santa could fly across the whole world in one night.
I was torn, wanting my friend to take me seriously but also hoping he'd prop up my fading sense of magic. I was disappointed when he dismissed every one of my speculations.
Later that day his mother called my mother. Her son was upset. According to her I'd ruined his belief in Santa. She said I wasn't a nice little girl at all. That we were the same age didn't seem to matter. My mother, who held politeness up there with God and cleanliness, insisted I apologize to Mrs. Barton right there on the phone.
After that particular trauma I badgered my mother for days with my Santa-related questions until she fessed up. The truth stung. My older sister was in on the falsehood. Other kids at school probably were too, but by some twist of propriety they knew better than to tell believers, even if they felt superior to Santa holdouts. Clearly a victim of my mother's politeness gene, I felt awful when it hit me that I'd been opening packages every year thinking that Santa owed me for my good behavior when all along those gifts were lovingly bought and wrapped by my parents. And I'd never even thanked them.
Fast forward a few decades. I vowed I would not follow the collective Santa lie with my own children. Sure, the truth might lead them right into the same minefield of logic versus belief with some other kid. That isn't a bad thing, it's how kids learn to think for themselves (as long as their parents don't run interference). But I had no intention of killing Santa entirely. That's because small children inhabit a different world than the rest of us. They don't make clear distinctions between fantasy and reality. There's probably something to that. Ever notice how happy little kids are? So I wanted an approach that kept wonder and excitement alive.
The philosophy I decided to use with my own four kids was based on the classic 1897 newspaper column titled "Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus" written by Francis Pharcellus Church. It reads, in part,
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished."
I took the casual approach. I never hyped Santa, any more than I promoted the whole commercial side of Christmas. No "better be good for Santa." No Santa at the mall (pretty easy with our mall avoidance lifestyle).
Sure, we still like Christmas carols that mention Santa. And my family cheerfully accommodates the thing I have for that early 60's special, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, even welcoming my teary-eyed joy at the scene when hope returns to the Island of Misfit Toys. But we keep the holidays simple.
My reply to "Is Santa real?" has always been, "Everyone who loves children is Santa's helper." The few times I've gotten more questions, which happened rarely because kids like to keep that possibility alive, I explained that even grown-ups like to believe too. By the time kids reach a certain age, they know what my answer means. Either it means there's no Santa or their Mom is a believer. Maybe I am. I've lived long enough to know that there's magic everywhere. I just call it by different names: love, hope, compassion.
Oh yeah, and forgiveness. By the next day Mrs. Barton's kid was already over it.
Laura Grace Weldon is the author of a poetry collection titled Tending as well as Free Range Learning, a handbook of natural learning. She lives on a small farm with her family where she's working on her new project, Subversive Cooking.com. and blogging optimistically.
Thank you for this. My parents never focused on Santa at Christmastime, and neither did my husband and I. And like you, I have a soft spot for Rudolph. : )
The Island of Misfit Toys gets me every year.
It's because children have difficulty understanding the difference between fantasy and reality that it is so important that parents be there to help them distinguish between the two. It's not something to be "indulged" for the sake of "childlike faith" — it's not really faith at all.
Imagine that your mental state was temporarily rendered into that of a child's, perhaps due to some necessary but strong medication you were prescribed. Would you want ambiguous answers that were meant to be understood later (but could easily be interpreted by you, in that state, in a misleading way)? Would you want the people who were supposed to guide and support you go to great lengths to plant false evidence (milk and cookies, Santa at the mall, etc.) to lead you into believing that something was as a real as the planets or the ancient Greeks? Of course not. That would be cruel. The only true enjoyment of "Santa fun" would come from the people trying so hard to fool you.
It isn't difficult to lie to a child. You can do it by omission of the truth, or by more proactive means of fraud. But let's be honest with ourselves about what we're doing if we choose to take part in this tradition, and not dream up virtuous motives of protecting children's innocence. The truth is that most people do it out of conformity, with a pinch of self-gratification thrown in (some people call it a "game" but a game can only truly be enjoyed by the players who *realize* that it is a game while it is played). The idea of lying to children about an actual Santa that brings them gifts is relatively recent in our culture, and I think it's high time we put this one to bed.
If our children can't rely on their parents for straight answers, who can they rely upon? If parents think it's okay to lie over something as unjustified as this, how can they teach their children not to lie without sounding like hypocrites?
I'm not sure it is possible for very young children to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Child development research tells us that they don't really distinguish this until they're at least 4 or 5 years old, no matter how much reality intrudes. Most of us spend quite a bit of time trying to clear that up for our kids. I know I have. My daughter was positive that cats spoke to her and that her doorknob was possessed by some kind of scary being. No amount of discussing truth versus fantasy made a difference, until she matured.
I do think that fantasy, via fairy tales and make-believe, helps kids deal with the meaning of big abstract concepts in ways they can comprehend. As I noted in this piece about Santa, I told my kids it was ME who wanted to believe in Santa just as so many other adults want to believe in what is truly a spirit of giving. You may see this as lying. I hope I haven't ever lied to my kids.
I like Santa. It's not rational, but as a kid we did the "Santa-thing". And then some older kid at the school let the truth out and I asked my mom, and she confessed – but my "Santa" gift left unwrapped with a tag with my name in my Mom's best handwritting (which is something to behold in and of itself, it's goregous), still was there every Christmas. A couple years later my sister learned the truth, but before she did I distinctly remember my Dad getting on the roof with jingle bells because he knew we weren't asleep yet. After the mystery was gone we all voted and decided that Santa would keep coming to our house each year, even though we all knew it was Mom and Dad who were his helpers, who did the shopping, assembling, and propping up of gifts in the middle of the night. – My parents enjoyed it to. One night they were up all night playing with our new train set!
Now my kids are still in the age of belief, I try to drop clues that I'm Santa's helper, but we still watch the Google Santa tracker with delight, as much in seeing the city fly-over of distant places as it is counting down until he finally reaches the Western United States and my husband and I get to stay up playing with and assmebling something special.
You see in the morning, the Santa gift is fair game, it's open for play as soon as the kids awake. I hope that when the magic starts to fade – my oldest is figuring it out – they too will vote to keep up the game. And maybe when they are all at the edge, or just beyond I can get up on the roof with some jingle bells and stomp around on their heads…
Yes, it's about magic, yes it's about compassion. There is so much that can be in the Santa story, and it should be. It's not about free gifts for being good, it's about serving others without them knowing it was you. Which is a much much more valuable lesson – plus its loads of fun!
As for Rudolph… Well I even have the Lenox ornament which thought it weighs a ton always adorns our tree. AND we voted to play Rudolph as a school fundraiser in December (the school bought a movie license to use for fundraising), there is a lot of love for that classic!
What you (KtCallista, if I didn't hit the right "reply" button) said! Particularly in the next-to-last-paragraph.
I wrote about this a few years ago: http://rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com/171341.html
In general, I personally am trying to focus on the joy of giving and preparing and everything else BESIDES receiving presents with my kids, and it bugs me how many people keep encouraging my kids to talk about What they Want Santa to Bring, and bringing up the Better Be Good sort of stuff. But in general, I'm a big supporter of Santa, not as an arbitor of judgement, but as a general spirit of giving.
We didn't do the Santa thing for our kids, and they have shown no sign of not feeling the "magic" of Christmas without him. There's the anticipation of everything, just as strong as in a Santa-apostle.
We did tell them not to discuss Santa with their friends, because if the friends did believe in Santa, it would make them unhappy to have him questioned. As far as I know, this practice in compassion has worked out well.
This is how I did it for my eldest daughter "Princess":
I'd done a Santa gig when she was a few years old (she's 9 now) and they let me get a photo with her. As she has always tended to be cunning and wily, she seemed to suspect there was more to the myth in the next few years. When it became apparent that we couldn't keep it up, we showed her the photo and explained that was me as Santa.
She still enjoyed taking part in the tradition, and didn't decide to discourage anyone at school. It was a fairly easy, smooth transition, and it was a good way to strengthen our affection.
I do not believe that the Santa tradition is harmful or deliberately deceitful. I'd also participated when two of my younger sisters were much younger. For me, it became the part of fond memories that quite a bit of the family has enjoyed.
Your Mileage May Vary [Depending On Road Conditions and Driving Habits], as usual.
I don't feel as strongly about it as Hope does, but I did feel uncomfortable about the idea of selling a story to my kid that wasn't true. Plus I didn't grow up with the Santa thing (since my mom is religious and didn't want Santa undercutting the Jesus story), so I didn't have strong feelings about the "magic" of believing in it. So we just didn't really bring it up to our son. But of course he heard about Santa in books and stuff, and very quickly he asked us point-blank, "Is Santa real?" (As he typically asks us about superheroes and dragons and so on.) We just couldn't bring ourselves to say "Yes," so we said he wasn't real, but that some people like to believe in him, and that it's a nice, fun story. I don't think he's really missing out, but I also don't fault those who want to give their kids an experience they enjoyed as children. If you yourself enjoyed it and remember it fondly, then why would it be a bad thing for your kids? It's not just for me.
I am, however, thoroughly creeped out by the "Santa's watching" admonitions and particularly the "Elf on the Shelf" toy you can position in your house — Santa's sneaky little spy. *shudders*
I use the Santa revelation in my discussion of paradigm shifts with my seventh graders; that point where the evidence outweighs the old idea (Santa) and a new idea (it's my parents!) is clearly the correct paradigm.
To illustrate the idea, I pair them up and have one ask questions (how does he do it all in one night?) while the other offers an explanation. This leads to more questions, until every answer is "magic". At this point there is no defense; doesn't "mom and dad" make more sense?
We then look at science, art, literature and other fields to see what questions were asked by new practitioners, and how those fields leaped forward.
The way you demonstrate that asking questions in any field helps move thinking beyond old boundaries is inspiring. We need to foster this sort of Big Thinking.

CapitalSource's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Investors are urged to carefully read the forward-looking statements language in our earnings release, but essentially, it says the following: Statements made on this call, which are not historical facts, may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements, including statements regarding future financial operating results, involve risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of CapitalSource and which may cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results.
CapitalSource is under no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to do so. And more detailed information about risk factors can be found in our reports filed with the SEC.
Jim will begin the prepared portion of our call. Jim?
James J. Pieczynski
Thank you, Dennis, and good afternoon to everyone. 2011 was a solid year of progress for CapitalSource. As Tad will describe in detail shortly, CapitalSource Bank had a particularly strong financial performance with nearly $2.5 billion in new loan production resulting in an annual loan growth of 25% and net interest margin of roughly 5% and pretax income significantly in excess of our 2010 level. The Parent Company's balance sheet contracted as planned, with its loan portfolio declining by $1.3 billion or 58% and total debt reduced by more than $1.2 billion or 61% during the year. Our consolidated credit metrics improved dramatically and our strategic decision to aggressively return excess Parent Company capital to shareholders was extraordinarily successful. Over 70 million of our shares were repurchased between August 1 and December 31 at an average price of $6.22 per share. And during 2011, we reduced a total outstanding share count by 21%. As we look ahead to 2012, we are excited and confident about our ability to further leverage our national specialty lending platform and our highly efficient deposit gathering bank franchise in Southern and Central California. As a result, we expect to produce another year of substantial loan growth at CapitalSource Bank, while simultaneously continuing to liquidate the Parent legacy assets and returning capital to shareholders. We entered the new year with a streamlined executive management team and a condensed organizational structure as we have moved to consolidate corporate support functions and transferred remaining Parent employees into the bank as of January 1. Doing so starts the process of eliminating redundancies and support functions, which will enhance our ability to meet 2012 expense efficiency objectives, which John Bogler will outline in his comments. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Tad who will focus his comments on the bank's financial performance. Tad?Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Workstation ErgonomicsLooking for office ergonomics information? Workstation Ergonomics is the science of designing the workstation to fit the worker.
Why is office workplace ergonomics important?As we spend increasing amounts of time at our workstation, we need to be aware of Workstation Ergonomics. We have to ensure that the workstation fit our bodies and our natural way of moving. This can impact our health, productivity and even mood! Not only we'll prevent computer injuries such as, musculoskeletal disorders and discomfort, we'll reduce fatigue and get our work done in a more efficient manner.
Do You Notice Your Strain?The problem with the lack of knowledge of workstation ergonomics is that people do not realize their strain. They accept that back pains come with getting older. They try to rid their pain by seeing massage therapists. A greater knowledge of office computer ergonomics can make a world of difference. Learning about workstation Ergonomics can save time and money. We can reduce occupational health payments in the form of medical expenditures, insurance premiums and disability expenses by
pushing higher ergonomic standards in the office.
Implementing Ergonomics in the OfficeIs Your Workstation Ergonomic?Have you done any ergonomic risk assessments to your work place? Mentally check off this ergonomic checklist:
Work AreaThe work area should not be too small but large enough for you to feel comfortable and 'perform' your physical motions when working, such as
reaching for the mouse, resting your feet on the floor or a foot stool and sufficient elbow room. If you have a printer and phone, there should be enough
room for them too. It should be easy for you to access these equipment.
Characteristics of An Ergonomic WorkstationDesks usually come at a standard height. We all have different heights and length of torsos and legs. So in an ideal ergonomic world, we'll be able to adjust the height of our ergonomic desks to suit us. A taller person may need to have his/her work surface raised and a shorter person, lowered. Of course, ergonomic chairs with adjustable heights are more readily available. Read more about Chair ergonomics to help you select the perfect chair for your body type. A shorter person may use additional help of a footrest too. Click to read Ergonomic Chair Adjustment - How to Adjust Your Chair For Ergonomic Benefit. An ergonomic workstation is best when it's tailored to you, however this poses a problem it is shared. Hopefully, you'll have your own workstation, if not, chair! Sitting for long periods of time is strenuous for the back. The human body is not designed to sit for long periods of time. Apart from getting an ergonomic chair, ensure you get off your chair and take breaks. Walk around the office. Get a cup of coffee, go to the washroom.
Computer Ergonomics - monitor, mouse, keyboardAnd so you'll have your computer monitor, make sure it is centered and your torso is not twisted. There are some ergonomic theories that says the monitor should be at eye level and some say it should be slightly lower. We all agree that the laptop montor is definitely too low for you, and it should be raised by one of those laptop elevating accessories or docking stations. This prevents eye strain, neck and shoulder fatigue. It helps develop a bad habit or jutting your head too forward. Your computer ergonomic keyboard and mouse. Most computer injuries occur in the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. And many of these occur because of the keyboard! You might want to consider getting used to an ergonomic keyboard if you do lots of typing. Ensure the mouse fits your hand. Your hand should 'wrap' over the mouse like a fitted blanket. Not too big or too small. Your mouse should not be placed too far away. It should be natural for your body to access the mouse without twisting or 'reaching' too much, otherwise you'll cause strain to your body.
Ergonomic LightingDon't forget about 'lighting'. Though ergonomic lighting is not a common topic of workstations ergonomics, it affects your eyes and causes strain if it is not right. Ensure that the monitors are not too bright, you can get one of those monitor filters that reduces the glare.
For reading, supplemental desk lighting is better than overhead light.
Ergonomic Office EquipmentHere is a list of other ergonomic office equipment to consider. These ergonomics equipment helps in the practical applications of ergonomics.
Other Qualitative Examples of ErgonomicsExamples of ergonomics would to learn keyboard shortcuts, instead of reaching for your mouse all the time. To look away from your screen every fifteen minutes and focus on something far away to prevent eye strain.

fixed translation is already send out. So far everything went fine. I just see TI Backup get no root rights as before, I had to add them manually in Super SU, then it worls fine. just in case anybody else has that problem.
I also see that FB app will be installed always, I deselct in 1.9 and also now but it come always. same for the launcher. I only select apex but get them all. Both is no problem at all but should be maybe fixed.
Now I go deeper in modifications to make it as nice as it was before
I love Tiramisu !!!
Here some updates from my side. I like the new version and it runs smooth as silk The only problem I still have is about the Play store. After I install the new version with no theme and the default settings, the play store work complete (I could buy stuff). Then I modify my installation via AROMA and add that black Theme and also the inverted Gapps and then I wasnt able to buy anymore. Play store work and I can get any free stuff and also my apps but i can't buy anything new. So I went back into modification mose and select to go back to the original Gapps but that dont help. Finaly I try to wipe again anything and format system and flash again but this time with inverted Gapps directly selected and also black Theme but it has the same result, to buy stuff is not possible.
But there was another big difference, the new SU which made also some problems before with giving root access to some apps, work perfect this time. So the new SU works now perfect here.
Any advices about the Play Store stuff ?
He kicked a few apps out of the package (like talk), just flash the talk app from RootzWiki?
Nope,sadly this super user is very strange and hates build prop changes in the settings. Going to go back to the old app I think as the 3g tweaks really help my speed. Aside from that ( and it's by no means the roms fault) everythings working very well

Southend United's Paul Sturrock and Chesterfield's John Sheridan after the game
Both managers had their say after the Southend United v Chesterfield clash bought about a 3-2 win for the league leaders Sturrock: Blues boss Paul Sturrock was so upset about the manner of his side's fifth home defeat of the season he wants to change the teams name!Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I'm very disappointed and think we should call ourselves 'Southend shoot ourselves in the foot United'. So far this season we have kicked ourselves in the teeth so many times with zany goals. The first was stupid, the second was poor defending and the third was hard to believe, altough I will have to look at the penalties again.'Not sure the new name would fit on the pools coupon Luggs, and as for the spot-kicks, thay all looked fair, and, yes, stupid.Luggy continued: "After the previous game I emphasised to the players about clearing their lines and two of their goals we lose again are stock clearances. You cannot give a quality side like Chesterfield a two gaol lead, but we showed a bit of bite in the second half. To the lads' credit, there is a pride about them and anyone coming in for the second half would not have known who was the top team and which was in the middle of the road team. I'm looking to freshen things up during January but it's not about knee-jerk reactions." Sheridan: Meanwhile, Chesterfield boss John Sheridan was a happy Spireite after his side's first win at Roots Hall since a 2-0 win in April 1998, and a victory that took the Sheridan told www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk: ""I knew it was going to be a hard game. We are going to play poorly at times; the other day we didn't play well and got a draw but it was a good performance," said Sheridan, after the Spireites got their first win at Roots Hall since a 2-0 victory in April 1998. "We were very comfortable to get a 2-0 lead, although I'm disappointed with the goals we conceded because it gave them a bit of belief, but fortunately we got a penalty and got back into a two-goal lead. "We caused them problems with the way we played and they had to change things to cope with it. I changed the system to brighten things up and we looked a good team who are top of the league for a good reason."

British Open
Park's run ends, Lewis wins at St. Andrews
Park, aiming to become the first golfer of either gender to win four majors in a calendar year, was never in contention in Scotland, a final round six-over par 78 consigning the world's top player to six-over for the tournament and share of 42nd place.
She was one shot behind leader Morgan Pressel heading into the final round, but at one stage found herself three shots behind 36-hole leader Choi Na-yeon.
"Those last few holes are playing so hard and with the pressure, but obviously I did it so it was doable, so I tried to stay in the moment and be ready for a playoff if it happened," she said.

so i bought a hibiscus that was supposed to be rum runner. turns out there was also an enlightenment in the pot. I decided i wanted to separate them. because the roots were all tangled up, i had to separate them. the plants didn't like this idea and went into severe shock. treated them with some vit b1 and they are now recovering. this is a picture of one of them about 2 weeks after i repotted and they look a lot better than they did. |

Generation III: E46 M3 CSL
Light, loaded, and at the limit.
Grab the handle, slam the CSL's door shut, and you're treated to the tinniest tink this side of a Trabant. Turn the key, and the straight six coughs to life and then promptly stalls. When you restart it, there's a discordant choir of five or ten or fourteen exhaust heat shields all buzzing at different frequencies while the computer desperately tries-and fails-to keep the engine at a steady speed.
You drive around slowly, patiently waiting for the illuminated yellow segments on the tachometer to gradually extinguish, indicating that the engine is warmed up and ready to be flogged. The racing bucket seat is comfortable despite being rock hard, but the ride is brutal and you hear everything going on around you. There's precious little sound deadening in the CSL, and carbon fiber-the roof, the inner door panels, and the center console are all made of the lightweight stuff-conducts noise like the walls of a cheap motel. The ducktail rear trunk lid, the rear diffuser, and the front apron are also carbon fiber, and the trunk floor is cardboard. But the CSL wears big brakes from the E39-chassis M5. It's pretty clear where selective weight loss was important-and with more than 240 pounds gone, the diet was a success.
You're thinking that the semislick Michelin tires are warm because they're picking up pebbles and flinging them at the underside of the car. You tip in. Only slightly modified from the base E46 M3, the S54 engine boasts the same broad torque curve and chain-saw sound track. To your right, you spy a button labeled "Sport" and press it. Hmm, no discernible change-until you exercise your right ankle again. Suddenly the large, carbon-fiber air box under the hood sounds as if it's being ripped to pieces by the guttural, staccato intake pulses. In fact, the whole car seems like it's being shaken apart by the sound. Now freed from restriction by way of a five-inch air-box flap that swung open when you hit the button, this is the loudest intake roar you'll ever hear from a street car-it completely drowns out the buzzy exhaust note and transforms this M3 into a race car.

gap has a thicker web at the case head. one theory: glocks have a fatally flawed barrel design in the chambers of their 45s ar unsupported. lots of kabooms, so much so that instead of redesigning the chamber glock introduced the 45gap with its reinforced case to get around the issue. most liekly is they are simply using glock marketing to sucker people into buying a new proprietary cartridge chambering.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
Thanks bro, i was just curious. I dont think i have even seen a 45 GAP round. Do they look different? Thanks, Ed
The .45 GAP is a shorter cased version of the .45 ACP. It's just like the .45 Schofield compared to the .45 Colt.
"It's a gun you loaded on Sunday, and shot all week." -Confederate Soldier "If God didn't create man equal then Sam Colt had made them equal." -Unknown "Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." -Wyatt Earp
GAP on left, ACP on right:
"Ideology deludes, inspires dishonesty, and breeds fanaticism. Facts, experience, and logic are much better at leading you to the truth." "Despite the conviction and seeming depth of knowledge with which ideologues speak, they are intellectual weaklings--joiners--who defer to systems of belief and charismatic gurus for their ideas." -- Daniel J. FlynnGOA
Thanks for the pic. While i am on the subject and since there is a pic of the SA XD. Are they pretty good pistols, same, better than a Glock? I dont know much about them. Is it another Glock wannabe or is it for real. Thanks, Ed

Merkity, The unexpected ones don't look like hibiscus. Sorry. They remind me of oak trees. LOL. Interesing though, see if they bloom. |
this batch of seedlings came from pods i harvested off my plants. most of them are either red double or butterfly pod parents. There is a variety of hibiscus with "fascinating foliage" aka these tri-lobed leaves... it will certainly be interesting to see what kind of flower i get from them. i only have to wait another year or two... |
Merkity, Curious to see what you get. I have 8 seedlings from over a year ago that are growing well. They are hybrids from some strains with good genetics. This past fall I crossed a lot of unusual varieties. Many with Pinot Noir genes that are producing the unusual leaf patterns. |
those look great! nice and green. so far my funny leaves are holding - your tri-lobes are a lot smoother looking than mine. I am bad at feeding mine - need to fertilize them more often. I think i figured out that my current batch is about a year and a half old. my first two seedlings are about 3 years and one is producing the very first flower bud :) can't wait! I have a bunch more seeds that need to be sprouted - but until i clear my counter, i don't have room to grow them - gotta kick this batch o' seedlings outside! |
I have to laugh at the room issue. I have about 40 growing tropical, 40 seedlings, 30 growing cuttings and several hardy varieties. The wife is beginning to get agitated as we have hibiscus everywhere! |
LOL yep. i was on orchidboard the other night, someone started a thread of growing areas and i realized that mine had expanded rapidly...our kitchen bar, the top of the birdcage, my sons room, one in the bathroom, our front patio and hubby is now helping with food stuffs in the backyard! yikes! |
Haha. Every available flat space that either has sunlight or artificial is used. You know it is bad when the wife wakes you up at 3 AM because the cat has pulled a growing cutting down and is chomping away. |
lol - yep our youngest cat has been knocking one of my poor cattleyas off the dresser - its now sporting several broken bulbs :( guess i have to find it different home or anchor it down. |

In the midst of one of the worst economic crises in memory, the Georgia General Assembly has to make some extremely difficult financial decisions. I don't envy their job.
The news is not good for Georgia on the economic front. It seems sales tax revenue is down approximately 10 percent from February 2009, and last year revenue was down ... well, let's say they were way down and leave it at that for now.
April 1, 2010 is the deadline for accepting applications for homestead exemption for tax year 2010. Applications can be accepted year round but those received after April 1st will be applied to 2011 taxes. You can file at either of the two offices of the Tax Commissioner: (1) 11 North College Street in Pembroke or (2) 185 Richard Davis Drive in Richmond Hill.
As a child who wanted nothing more than to grow up and become a journalist, I used to write stories for and draw out my own homemade "newspapers" to distribute to my family on Sunday mornings at breakfast. I tried to design my publications based on what I thought each of my family members might want to read. Dad's "newspaper" was about sports and my younger sister's often featured reports on Strawberry Shortcake and her social circle.
For the past two weeks, the Georgia state legislature has taken a working recess to address our budget crisis. At issue are both the FY 2010 amended and the FY 2011 general budgets.
The crowd gathered behind barricades in barely contained anticipation - and in some cases adoration - Tuesday prior to President Barack Obama's arrival at Savannah Technical College reminded me of Beatle-mania way back in the 1960s, when four charismatic musicians from Manchester, England, forever changed America's rock music scene.
Editor's note: State Rep. David Casas, R-Lilburn helped write this column.
The budget was the focal point and our top priority last week. Although the General Assembly was not in session, our time consisted of attending and giving input during the subcommittee meetings of the Appropriations Committee.
I am up to my gizzard with our governor and Legislature and assorted bureaucrats stomping around in public education with little regard for the consequences of their actions. Example: One school system in the state has been considering allowing the police to bring Tasers into the schools to quell unruly students.
Editor's note: Carter (R- Pooler) is reporting each week during the Legislative Session. The session began Jan. 11, and is expected to last until the latter days of March.
The Georgia General Assembly adjourned last Thursday, after day 20 of the 2010 legislative session. The Assembly has decided to take a two-week break from the legislative session to work on the daunting task of balancing the Fiscal Year 2011 budget.
The body is a little frail and he walks with a cane but the man still has the look of a warrior. His name is Charles Ector. He experienced the uglier side of society and with dignity and determination took prejudice head on.
The House and the state Senate voted Thursday to adjourn the current legislative session until March 8 to allow Appropriations Committee members to work full-time over the next two weeks on the budget proposal for fiscal year 2011, which begins July 1.
A majority of the House of Representatives Thursday approved an amended state budget for the remainder of fiscal year 2010. Overall state spending is reduced by $1.2 billion to reflect that state revenues have declined for 14 consecutive months.
Day 14 (Feb. 8): As we head back into session today, we are greeted with the disappointing news. The January revenues are down 8.7 percent over those in January 2009. Combined with the losses from a year ago, this means January revenues are a whopping 23 percent lower than January 2008. More importantly, the governor's proposed amended FY10 budget called for a $1.44 billion shortfall with the expectation that the remaining six months revenues would be flat.
"What I am saying is, we spend too much time, we waste time, the city's time that the people have us up here to do. We waste that time. We looked at it the first of October and November and December, we're still going over the same stuff. Why don't we go on and do what we're supposed to do? Get it approved and move on to the next issue that this council is supposed to be doing".
When thinking about the $1.1 trillion spending bill passed by Congress last month, one might ask, "What does Congress have against conservation?"
