Flat Holm Island is to be the setting for a Countryfile episode which will be broadcast this Sunday, February 17 at 11am on BBC1.
The programme will feature stories about the possibility of a Severn Barrage and how it would work, the concerns of environmental groups regarding a proposed renewable scheme of this size and the history and current use of Flat Holm, which is just five miles off the Cardiff coast.
Flat Holm Island is a local nature reserve, a site of special scientific interest and is steeped in history as it was previously home to monks, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, silver miners and cholera victims. It is also famous for receiving the first ever radio message across water sent by Marconi in 1897.
The island is a haven for wildlife and home to one of the largest colony of gulls in Wales. Other animals on the island include shelduck, slow worms and George the tortoise.
The BBC television crew and presenter John Craven boarded the boat for Flat Holm Island in the dark, early hours of yesterday (Tuesday) morning. With only a small window of opportunity for filming - the team were at the mercy of the weather and the tides. John Craven, who has visited thousands of locations across the British Isles and abroad with Countryfile said: "The elements were working in our favour, so we were able to get across to the island and back again at high tide. What the island lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its fascinating history and continuous use over many centuries.
"The fact there was a working farm on this tiny Welsh island for more than 700 years is amazing. Being cut off from the mainland has in no way diminished it's character or heritage. It will be great to see the Flat Holm project team and volunteers reinstating a working traditional farm in the future.
"I think it's wonderful that such a small piece of land has such a rich history and to meet people who are genuinely enthusiastic about sharing that with the public. The use of the original Victorian water tank to collect fresh water for the island and its visitors is just one example of the sustainable and thoughtful way the project is being managed - linking history with the present and future of Flat Holm.
"Flat Holm offers a haven for all kinds of flora and fauna and the continuing conservation work there will ensure its success for generation to come." BBC Director Kate Hollingsworth said: "The island was great - luckily we were able to get to the island and back and stick to our tight filming schedule, thanks to the organisation of the Flat Holm team and of course some good weather! Flat Holm is an important part of next week's programme so we were really pleased to get across.
"It was a bit of a whistle-stop tour, and we were spoilt for choice in terms of what we could talk about and film, there's so much there!"
Guided tours of the island are available for most of the year. Visitor trips for 2008 are scheduled to begin on March 14 and sail most weekends and various weekdays until the end of October. The sailing schedule can be found at www.cardiff.gov.uk/flatholm.
To book a place on a guided visitor trip please call 029 2035 3917.

Greetings to the alumni of this wonderful institution. As I write this, I'm in the midst of completing my fourth week "on the job" with Trinity Lutheran College as Vice President of Institutional Advancement. I must say, this is an exciting place to be.
The lineage of LBI to what is now Trinity Lutheran College goes back quite a ways for me. Growing up in north Seattle in the 1960s and 70s, thinking of the campus on Greenwood and 130th brings back many memories as our family would often drive by it and I'd think, "I wonder what they do there?" During my high school years in the later 1970s, I'd drive by the campus daily to and from school....and our football team did our summer conditioning running on the grassy, sloped hillside on campus that ran down toward Bitter Lake.
Today, I consider it a privilege to be part of this terrific school, with our focus on Christ-centered, biblical teaching and encouraging students to seek a life of service in whatever profession God leads them to locally, nationally or around the world. A bonus is that we get to live that mission in the midst of this urban setting in Everett. In my short time here it's been so encouraging to see how the community has embraced this school and how our students, faculty and staff engage with the surrounding community.
As an alumnus, I hope you feel the "connected-ness" to Trinity that we strive for. It's important. You are part of this great work. We hope you feel that, whether you attended when we were known as LBI or as Trinity. If you don't, please feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear from you and understand how we can better include you in this wonderful outreach to empower students for a life of serving Christ.
In Christ,
Kelly Miller
Vice-President for Institutional Advancement
email@example.com | 425.249.4749
Hello, new friends. I can't wait to meet you all. I have been given the privilege to serve you, the Lutheran Bible Institute and Trinity Lutheran College alumni, and I can't begin to tell you how much of a joy that is to me. Thank you for creating this opportunity.
My history may be short, but it is not without content. After moving around the country in a military household, attending both the University of Washington and Oklahoma Christian University, I have found myself in the midst of the folks at this wonderful college.
I share many commonalities with a number of you, as our "home" has changed its address a time or two. More importantly, however, we share the love of this school and the commitment it has to our students and to the Lord. As you and I get to know each other, I look forward to seeing how Trinity can better serve you. You each have an amazing story to tell, and we want to hear it. I ask that you help us as we make some changes here on campus, as your input is important to me. Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. If you're able to do so, come and check out what is happening on campus - God is doing amazing things here.
I am excited to begin this adventure with you as we grow closer to each other and closer to the Lord.
Blessings and prayers,
Aimee Furrie
Development and Alumni Relations Assistant

Searching in all forms has been disabled for a while now (since the update) because of some problems with the way pages are indexed. There was an official topic about it in the FAQ section but I can't find it. It would take them a few days of downtime to reindex everything so that's why they haven't done it yet.

Most Internet Marketers are familiar with the concept of linkwheels, a linkwheel is a very effective way of promoting your site by using several authority Web 2.0 sites. Several properties in the outer wheel are linked together by a one way link and each of these in turn link to your website in the center of the wheel. Using this technique it is very easy to rank for your keyword phrase and get good visibility on the search engines.
The hardest part of creating a linkwheel is the time it takes to put one together, for this purpose I have created a Windows application which will log you into each web 2.0 property in turn, saving you no end of time.
The software also enables you to ping each web 2.0 property after updating content and provides a "sure fire" way of getting your site on the first page of Google.
The software is priced at only $10 too and is a very good investment for anyone who wants to increase their online sales.

Hi Guys, Heres an idea which may build your traffic and reduce your Alexa rating. I'm no SEO guru, but I've noticed my traffic triple recently by using this method. It's very simple to do, and is an automated process once you've set it up. There are a couple of ways to do this. The easiest way is to complile a list of all of the websites you are promoting and save the list as a html document aranged by your keyword phrases, for example:
Check Dofollow Blogs Automatically
Once you've finished the list save it as a html file, upload it to your server and head over to:
http://www.html2rss.com/ and turn that html file into an RSS feed.
Another way would be to use Yahoo Pipes and import all of your RSS feeds into a mashup. If you're not familiar with Yahoo Pipes I recommend that you go over there, watch the tutorial and craft yourself some amazing unique content.
Another resource Is Dapper
Ok, now you have three ways to create a mashup feed.
The next thing you need to do is take the URL of your compiled list and head over to Pingomatic enter all your link details there ping the list and copy the url Pingomatic gives you (Pingomatic asks you to bookmark the url so you can use their service later) and paste it into notepad.
Now visit Online Cron Jobs, set up a free account, copy a bit of code and paste it into the html of a webpage on your domain. Now you can set up a Cron job to automatically run pingomatic once a day.
Theoretically every site you promote will be automatically pinged and therfore get visited by Search engines on a daily basis.
You could also use Twitterfeeder to call Pingomatic too…
I've noticed a marked improvement in Adsense revenue and sales are going pretty well too and my Alexa rankings have been consistently improving.
It will be interesting to see if such a simple technique may increase my online earnings substantially. Give this a try and let me know what results you get. The only thing I'm not sure about is that the sites will be pinged automatically by the cron, this pattern may be detected by the search engines.
For those of you who'd like to run Pingomatic from your desktop, I'll create a desktop program which will randomly run Pingomatic, so it looks more natural.
Please give me your feedback on this idea.
Just released a Dofollow Blog list checker…The software takes a list of urls from a text file and checks each one for the presence of Nofollow attributes. If a dofollow blog is found it is written to a new text file and the site is opened in your browser for commenting. This will save you a lot of time and best of all the software is free…well almost, it#s donationware so if you find it useful please make a donation by Paypal.
Here's a screen shot:
Pretty basic really..you just enter the text file name and file extension and away it goes and checks your 1000's of harvested URLs.
Dofollow Download
Hey Guys, I've just made a free squeeze page for WordPress, here's a screen shot:
You can download it from the following link:
Please consider making a $5 donation and then you can resell the template, remove the link to my site…or do whatever you want with it.

Dilatant Materials (Non-Newtonian) and Molecular Bonds
Name: Jonathan Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: CA Country: United States Date: May 2007
Why do dilatant materials "freeze or lock into place" when subjected to severe stresses? Do bonds temporarily form between the molecules?
Typically, shear thickening occurs because the stress causes some structure or order to occur. Imagine you are trying to work your way through a crowded room (or to the front row of music concert). If you just ram your way through, people will resist and push you back. If you go slowly, you can find the holes and spaces between people and work your way through them. It works in a similar fashion with shear thickening fluids.
I suppose when you push certain particles together, they might form weak bonds such as dipole interactions, but I am not aware of any fluids that form and break covalent bonds. Some fluids -- silly putty comes to mind -- have cross-linkers that form bonds that can be broken and reformed, but that material is a shear thinning fluid (a combo elastic and shear-thinning fluid, actually).
Burr Zimmerman
Dilitant materials (the most commonly well-known one is a mixture of corn starch and water which makes it possible to walk on "water") are able to "lock in place" because the material responds to the intensity or frequency of the stress (or force) applied to it.
Imagine a loose ball of twine. If you were to pull on a single strand of twine in this ball, and you were to do this gently, it is possible to unravel the ball. However, if you were to pull on the thread really fast, you are more likely to cause a knot to form and the ball tightens up. This is essentially what happens at the molecular level for dilitant materials. High frequency or high intensity forces tends to make the polymeric, long-stranded polymers to tangle up tightly and cause the whole system to seize up. But a slow application of force, or a weak force, allows the polymer strands to rotate and flow around the force so that the material remains relatively fluid.

Image imagination
Add all kinds of artistic effects to your images with this fun program.
Some photo-editing programs are utilitarian, concerned only with the basics of correcting images and making them look their best. Other programs, like FotoSketcher, are a bit more fun. This easy-to-use program allows you to add all kinds of artistic effects to your images, turning your photos into drawings, paintings, and more.
The program's interface is sleek and quite intuitive, with the key features represented by icons across the top. The original image and the edited version are displayed side-by-side, allowing you to easily compare your new work of art to your source material. There are a wide variety of effects that can be applied, including various types of pencil sketch, pen and ink, and painting effects. Each of these has characteristics that can be customized, including the size of the brushstrokes, the color intensity, the strength of the effect, brightness, and so on. Users can also crop images and add text. Overall, we thought that FotoSketcher was a lot of fun to play with. You're unlikely to fool anyone into thinking that you actually painted the image in question, but the results are quite good for what they are. We especially like the fact that the program is so easy to use, making it appropriate even for image-editing novices. There's no Help file per se, but we didn't really think one was necessary; everything about the program was self-explanatory. If you enjoy experimenting with special effects, FotoSketcher is worth checking out.
FotoSketcher installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

EUGENE, Ore. — Team Run Eugene, a local non-profit, hosted a sale on Sunday for six Springfield and Eugene high school track and field programs. New and used apparel was offered at discounted prices. The group has been around for about 18 months, but has managed to enlist the support of several well-known athletes such as two-time U.S. 5000 meter champ Lauren Fleshman and 2008 Olympian Ian Dobson.
"High school track and cross county sort of defined me and I think for a lot of us involved in this organization it's just been really important in our lives and we want to make sure that kids have that same chance to engage as we did and have it have the same impact on them," said Dobson.
All the proceeds are to be split evenly among the six schools.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/15/mideast.rockets/index.html JERUSALEM (CNN) -- In a deadly attack from northern Gaza, Palestinian militants hit the Israeli town of Sderot with four Qassam rockets Wednesday morning, killing one woman and wounding a man, Israeli police and medical sources said. Two militant groups, the Islamic Jihad and the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement faxed to the Ramattan News Agency, based in Gaza City. How come I dont see Seymour93, Mikey or any of the other usual "Israel Bad!" suspects rushing out to post this link? How dare those Israelis get in the way of that perfectly good rocket.
After all of these incidents, people still wonder why Israel always engages in payback. They are surrounded by savages.
You are correct for once, and those people you mentioned are called DEMOCRATS Cindy Sheehan John Conyers Jim Moran Jesse Jackson ect................................
Not even worth talking about anymore, the people have spoken, the American Democrat won big time, they are running the show now, Jon Stewart, Streisand, the rest of Hollywood, and all the Jewish big shots in the Liberal Media can now sit back and watch as Islam kicks the sh!t out of Israel and probably kills a few of their relatives but their Hatred for Bush blinded any loyalty they had for their ancestors homeland, I say "F-ck Them" Bush was fighting the element that wants all Jews Dead, the American jews want Bush Dead, figure that one out. Again I say "F-ck Them", bring the troops home now, let the slaughter begin. STOP THE WAR NOW. bricks
NEM, thats not fair. To a point you are correct in that there is a lot of anti-semitism in many red states but I would imagine there is a good amount in blue states as well. As you know I'm a conservative and yet I have no animosity towards Jews at all. Hell, I married one and my 3 daughters are being raised Jewish.
Some of you are out of hand. This story was picked up by all the major media outlets. I don't see what the problem is. This is what I have seen over the past two weeks: 1. Israel launches a weapon and kills 18 civilians last week and blames it on a 'technical glitch'. 2. This week 1 Israeli woman is killed, and you guys are going nuts over it. Frankly, as a neutral 3rd party observer, I think both groups of people involved are nuts, not just the Palestinians. All of you religious extremists on BOTH sides will keep killing an 'eye for an eye' until the entire world burns up in nuclear fire. .
Thieves steal, killers kill and terrorists terrorize, no surprises there. It is when a cop steals and/or kills, when a legitimate government engages in terrorism that makes the news and discussion boards, because it is not expected behavior. Equating criticism of Israel (when it does wrong) to anti-semitism is a tired, worn out cliche and simply does not work any more. There are quite a few Jews out there who are also critical of Israeli atrocities. Where was the outrage week, when Israel killed 18 civilians because of a "technical glitch", or when Israeli soldiers opened fire on a group of women killing one and wounding a few more, again last week? Wasn't it another tecnical glitch when they hit the UN building, for the second time? Compare the numbers of the innocent that have been killed by both sides and then talk about moral superiority. There isn't one. Both sides are guilty, and voicing that fact is not anti anything.
Where's the outrage over this? http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/menu-239/0611138956174628.htm Search for this story on Google news and only four articles come up. And what a surprise, the Iranian site has the most details.
NEM, I think you reveal your own bigotry by stereotyping and generalizing an entire group of people. You are just as guilty of being narrow minded as the people you accuse.

Thanks for pointing out the comment regarding beginners. I was careful to say that an beginner wanting to learn how to fly a CCPM heli like this absolutely needs assistance. That's also why I was careful to point out the head speed. There's no way that a raw beginner can pop in a battery and fly this little monster. A beginner who wishes to self-teach can and should fly a coaxial, of course. I meant to convey that a serious beginner who really wanted to learn R/C helicopter flight could do so with the X3V, only not without supervision. |

3S battery would require at least a 18amp ESC and a different Pinion Gear on the Motor. Yes this is possible to do; Then it would be setup like our Skyartec V4 Belt 250 Helicopters that use a 3S battery.
We have all of the necessary parts should anyone want to contact us about this upgrade. It could be done as a DIY project or we could do it on our bench for a modest cost contact us for more details Max www.parkrcmodels.com www.skyartec-usa.com |

Skyartec will be releasing in the next months a independent 3 Axis Gyro that will work with any Radio System. I think you will see an amazingly low cost on this offering; At this time we don't have a kit /frame only offering, but we might be able to work it out later next month. You would need to provide your own radio, for example. Max www.parkrcmodels.com www.skyartec-usa.com |

Is the hover on that bird nothing short of amazing? Just remember to increase the agility setting on the gyro before you try and go to fast forward flight and remember that the idle up settings aren't calibrated. It's much more agile with the CF blades, so I'd suggest adjusting the agility with them in place if you plan on using them. I've only flown it once with the CF's, but I plan to change over to them for good (despite the fact that the resin blades fly so well) and to tweak the agility before I fly it again. |

okay thanks
I dont have CF blades, only stock. I noticed there doesn't seem to be a lot of cyclic travel. The idle up isn't calibrated for 50% mid stick or other? or maybe you mean I need to calibrate the transmitter haven't even attempted that yet lol Quote:

Is true, the factory shipped units do not include the the CF blades - we add a set as value added item. The factory does not print out the manual but we include one again as a value added item. We also include our own copyrighted CD with our custom upgraded software package and program setup installer. Yes all of the instruction manuals can be found on the factory CD, in Adobe PDF format.

Trinidad and Tobago profile
Trinidad and Tobago is one of the wealthiest countries in the Caribbean, thanks to its large reserves of oil and gas, the exploitation of which dominates its economy.
Inhabited mostly by people of African and Indian descent, the two-island state enjoys a per capita income well above the average for Latin America. Natural gas - much of it exported to the US - is expected to overtake oil as its main source of revenue.
Dependence on oil has made the republic a hostage to world crude prices, whose fall during the 1980s and early 1990s led to the build-up of a large foreign debt, widespread unemployment and labour unrest.
At a glance
- Politics: A four-party coalition, the People's Partnership, won snap elections in 2010. Kamla Persad-Bissessar is Trinidad and Tobago's first female PM. Politics mirrors the country's racial divide
- Economy: Natural gas, oil and chemicals are key industrial sectors and export earners
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
As with other nations in the region, Trinidad and Tobago - a major trans-shipment point for cocaine - has become ridden with drug and gang-related violence. This has clogged up the courts and has fuelled a high murder rate and much of the corruption that is reputedly endemic in the police. It also threatens the tourism industry.
In response, the government reintroduced capital punishment in 1999, despite strong international pressure not to do so.
Trinidad and Tobago hosts the Caribbean Court of Justice, a regional supreme court which aims to replace Britain's Privy Council as a final court of appeal. The council had been seen as an obstacle to the speedy implementation of death sentences.
Sighted by the explorer Christopher Columbus in 1498, Trinidad was settled by the Spanish before being taken by Britain in 1797. A succession of European powers laid claim to Tobago.
Calypso music and steel drum bands feature in carnival celebrations on the larger island. Relaxed and peaceful in comparison to its densely-populated neighbour, Tobago attracts diving enthusiasts and nature lovers. The island is self-governing.

Irom Sharmila completes 12 yrs of fasting
Wants withdrawal of AFSPA
Imphal, Nov 4: A woman has been on hunger strike for the last 12repeat 12years in an effort to have the Government of India withdraw the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA) from Manipur and other parts of India. On the world's longest hunger strike, she has completed twelve years of fasting over human rights abuses in Manipur and promises to continue.
Silently but forcefully, she is highlighting the rarely reported decade-long insurgency in Manipur and the government's response to it with Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), something she opposes.
Irom Sharmila Chanu, also known as the Iron Lady of Manipur, went on a hunger strike on November 4, 2000 after soldiers gunned down 10 civilians at a bus station in Malom.
I was shocked to see the dead bodies. There was no means to stop further violations by the armed forces
. It (fast) is the most effective way because it is based on a spiritual fight
My fast is on behalf of the people of Manipur. This is not a personal battle, it is symbolic. It is a symbol of truth, love and peace, Irom Sharmila Chanu said.
After just three days of fasting, the police arrested her for attempted suicide, which is punishable according to Indian Penal Code. The administration started force-feeding her via nasal tubes and confined her to the Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital in Imphal. Because the maximum sentence for an attempt to suicide cannot exceed one year, Irom Sharmila Chanu is released on completion of one year, and re-arrested after 2-3 days, on the same charges. This has been going on for the last 12 years.
The Parliament had passed this Act on September 11, 1958. It gives the armed forces special powers in the disturbed areas in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. It was later extended to Jammu and Kashmir as The Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 in July 1990.
On October 27 at a function organised in Kolkata, a trust had decided to confer the first Kovilan Smaraka Activist India National Award in memory of Malayalam poet AA Ayyappan upon Sharmila. However, Sharmila, who is also a poet, refused to accept the award.
"Sharmila will not accept any awards until she has succeeded in her mission," said her brother Irom Singhajit. However, Singhajit, who attended the function, returned the award and asked the organisers "to keep it in their custody and present it to Irom Sharmila when she has achieved her goal."
The decision not to accept any awards was taken by Sharmila.
"We appreciate the award and have asked them to keep it in their custody," he said.

PINE BLUFFS – The liberal media is turning a blind eye to the corruption inside Barack Hussein Obama's administration. That's no surprise. It turned the same blind eye to Obama for two years during his run for president.
Why do I say that? The facts, if you're willing to dig a bit, all point to that inescapable conclusion. The liberal media has let the American people down. The Fourth Estate is not doing its job as watchdog exposing corruption in high places.
During the campaign, Barack Hussein Obama ran on a mantra of "hope and change." But the media did not examine what kind of change he was talking about. They let him get away with broad generalities. Had they bothered to investigate, they'd have seen that Obama's "change" was a socialism contrary to anything the United States of America has ever seen here, and definitely contrary to anything Americans – except for those few on the dole – want.
Now, a year into his Presidency, Obama has shown his true colors. He's a power-hungry, ego-driven elitist. An alleged graduate of the pinko Columbia University in New York, influenced by communist writer, Saul Alinsky and the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama seems bent on forcing his socialist agenda upon us at any cost. And he's doing it with a team of tax cheats, crooks, and communists, whom he has appointed to positions within his administration. This by itself has put our country on a path to destruction.
Michelle Malkin, the conservative author of the best selling Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies, released in July 2009, agrees with me. A nationally-syndicated columnist who frequently appears on MSNBC, Fox News, and C-SPAN, Malkin says this in her fourth book:
"Barack Hussein Obama has:
1) Used Chicago style tactics and his shady relationship with the nefarious group, ACORN, to gain the White House,
2) He has filled his cabinet with former Clinton cronies, "loyal" Chicago friends, and crooked Washington insiders,
3) He has appointed a team of more than 30 shadow 'czars' to circumvent our Constitution and push his socialist agenda on America."
Nor does our new First Lady escape her wrath:
"Barack Obama is not the only fraud in the family. Michelle Obama lied when she proclaimed herself to be an every-day mom who knows what it's like to struggle. . . . The truth is Michelle Obama, [who attended Princeton University, an exclusive Ivy-League school] pulled in half a million dollars in 2007, sends her children to a pricey, five-figure private school, and even meets with her own personal trainer four times a week."
Obama's hypocrisy is calculated, practiced and skillfully applied. With his take-over of car companies, banks, and his attempt to ram socialized medicine down our throats with a so-called Health Care bill, which will raise the annual budget deficit and the national debt to staggering figures, he is destroying our country. And you will not hear about it from the mainstream media, because, with the sole exceptions of TV's Fox News, The Washington Times, an excellent daily newspaper, and The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank staffed by excellent scholars, they are in Obama's hip pocket.
Michelle Malkin again:
"CNN won't run any critical stories on Obama's choice for attorney general, Eric Holder, [a lawyer] who once defended a company with known ties to Columbian terrorists,
"You won't see an exposé on NBC, CBS, or ABC about the 32 high-paid Obama 'czars' who include tax cheats and 'pay to play' brokers,
"And the New York Times certainly is going to avoid running hard-hitting stories on the President's ties to ACORN, even though this corrupt organization is under investigation for voter fraud and embezzlement."
As more and more Americans begin to understand the truth about this crooked administration and the awful mistake the voters made in 2008, the public has begun to object to the liberal slanting of all its current events. We have turned elsewhere for our news. Indeed, the dismantling of the giant liberal media machine protecting Obama as he runs roughshod over traditional conservative Americans has begun. Here's what's happening:
Media conglomerate, the giant Tribune Company, owner and publishers of the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The Baltimore Sun, three of the nation's leading liberal rags, filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2008.
Real Estate mogul, Sam Zell, who bought the Tribune Company in 2007 and took on $13 billion in debt in yet another example of liberal financial incompetence, although attempting to disguise the reason somewhat, let the cat out of the bag: "A precipitous decline in revenue [read, a dramatic fall-off in readership] and a tough economy have coupled with a credit crisis, making it extremely difficult to support our debt. All our major advertising categories have been impacted [read, major advertisers don't like the constant drumbeat of liberal ideology contained in the pages of those newspapers, either]."
Zell's group, although among the first, is not the only one to fall on hard times. Rocky Mountain News, Colorado's oldest paper, was put up for sale in 2008, after owner E.W. Scripps Company reported losses of $11 million on operations in the first 9 months of that year. This happened in a formerly solid red state turning progressively more blue during the past ten years, where one might expect a liberal newspaper to be welcomed with open arms.
And 2009 was a bad year for Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the United States, which began laying off 10% of its workforce.
Meanwhile, The Miami Herald, owned by McClatchy, the third largest newspaper chain in the country, was reportedly up for sale. McClatchy watched its stock price plummet, losing 90% of its value since 2006.
And the New York Times was reported in 2009 to be selling office furniture, furnishings, and fixtures in a frenzied attempt to stave off bankruptcy.
Sometimes it may seem like Barack Hussein Obama will never be revealed as the deceiver he really is. And sometimes it may seem like we'll never be able to talk sense into our fellow citizens who blindly worship him. But the above clearly shows that progress IS being made.
As conservatives and loyal Americans, we need to stand together to bring down the liberal media machine that is fueling Obama's radical agenda. You know which newspapers in your area spout liberal propaganda. Do not buy them, and urge all your like-minded friends to stay away from them. Further, if you own a business, small or large, direct your budgeted advertising funds to conservative publications. Perhaps hitting these liberal publications in the pocket book where it really hurts might cause them to take a candid look at the power-hungry man in the White House, who is willing to go to any lengths, even to destroying his own party, to force his socialist agenda on the United States.

High School Principal Claims Indians Were Scalped at Thanksgiving
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On December 9, 2012 @ 11:28 am In The Point | 7 Comments
We need to spend more money on educating our children so that they don't turn into High School principals. Meet Amod Field who offered students the following history lesson in sensitivity for Thanksgiving.
"We must very, very, very, very understanding to our Native Americans, who lost and sacrificed because of the scalping that took place on Thanksgiving. They were invited to a dinner, and then their lives were taken from them."
Apparently some High School students had a better grasp of history than their idiot principal and began circulating a recording, which Field claimed had been altered.
When first contacted by a reporter on Thursday, Field said, "There's been altered tapes sent out," but that he hadn't heard them. After the recording was emailed to him, he said he hadn't had time to listen to it, but he did remember telling students in an announcement to "remember the need to be sensitive about what took place" at an early Thanksgiving celebration and that "lives were lost" at the event.
He said in the second interview he did not recall using the word "scalping" in the school announcement, but he cited several websites — including a blog post titled "The Truth About Scalping" on the Tumblr site Rarely in History — that he said offered evidence that Native Americans were scalped at the second Thanksgiving.
The source of that Tumblr appears to be Sovereignty or Death, which has since been erased, but based on leftovers was a black nationalist hate site featuring the Nation of Islam and Baraka.
"There's different variations in history," Field said. "My thing is about being informative to young people. … I stand for love and caring of people of all kinds."
Field stands for love and hating America.
Grace Giglio, the Paterson school district's representative to the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association, described Field as a "nice guy" and said the district has yet formally to notify the association about the nature of the complaint filed against him.
I think we're all waiting for Amod Field's September 11 announcement. And his Holocaust Remembrance Day announcement.

What is the best way to install wood statues ontop of a building as a permanent installation?
Wood outside is never permanent. But, if I were to mount them, I would use galvanized pipe running through the center of the carving mounted to a plate that is bolted to the building.
If the work is painted and covered by a pediment roof or something like that, it will last longer. But if it is just out in the elements, the wood will deteriorate before too many years pass.
Here's a permanent installation if ever there was one...
These statues are gilded, fiberglass units, cast from a mold of an original wood or clay sculpture. They're supported by a concealed lightening rod which runs through the interior and projects up through the top of the head.
Sometimes they get discolored or damaged by powerful lightening strikes but most of the time, old Ben Franklins' invention works like a charm
I understand local fire departments are often contracted to clean them with their big ladder rigs.
View higher quality, full size image (600 X 339)
I am surprised that weight is an issue with a fiberglass sculpture - why do they need lightening?
As for the rest, the question was about wood, not fiberglass.
Weight is indeed an issue which is precisely why the statue is molded from fiberglass. Since the figure itself is hollow, it weighs only a fraction of solid wood or stone.
I'm also responding to your comment and correct suggestion that "wood outside is never permanent". These fiberglass units with gold leaf epoxied to their exterior surfaces, have a designed "indefinite life span".
The installation of some kind of electrical conductor or lightening rod, is a building and fire/safety-code requirement on almost all high-rise construction anywhere in the world. The steeples of churches as well as flagpoles are particularly vulnerable and should always be protected.
The giant needle on top of the Empire State Building is not there "just for looks".
So, even though they are made of fiberglass they still need to be lightened. I don't understand why.
These sculptures are fairly large and always mounted in what appears as a "precarious perch"
The old originals were cast in hollow bronze but still weighed over 3 tons. Plus they required a heavy counterweight suspended from the base (inside the steeple) which allowed them to move a bit with the wind, instead of cracking the casting.
They also must be removable since the thin gold leaf eventually begins to wear away with the wind.
View higher quality, full size image (600 X 896)
Yeah, I get all that. I have poured bronze and understand that process. Understand how Angel Moroni stands, too.
I just don't understand why they have to be lightened - are they too dark?
Oops,.. Are we talking about a lightened, White or "racial" depiction which may be offensive to some Native Americans or people of color?
You may have a point...
Since this statue is supposed to be a depiction of a pre-Columbian Native American, perhaps a burnished bronze or polished copper would indeed have been more suitable.
You might also wonder why a Jewish carpenter and rabbi, residing in the Middle East 2000 years ago, is almost always (and erroneously) depicted as a White, Northern European (by just about everyone).
I have no answers other than to acknowledge the legitimacy of your observations (at least as far as I'm concerned) and to agree in principle, with you.
Still, you must admit that the gold shines beautifully and the construction and engineering methods are something worth talking about and sharing. It's also (I believe) directly to the point of this post and without regard to race or religion.
No offense intended.
You guys should take your comedy show on tour. Is there a 4th definition of "lightening" you can come up with to raise the hilarity level?
Yeah you're absolutely right. I have no idea what either he or me is talking about. I may have over reacted but I've heard these comments or innuendos before. If not, then call me an "ass" and let it pass.
Still, I would like to address the question if there is one. Maybe Mr. Chicumsuk could explain it in terms that wouldn't leave me jumping to conclusions?
Who's on first?..
And yes, I'm aware that I've said "lightening" several times now when I meant "lightning" (spell check can't save me from all my buffoonery)
Upon that we can both agree.
The purpose of a lightning rod is to attract the lightning and then the charge is "safely" conducted to the ground. It is critical that the top point be very sharp.

Cheddar Ham Soup Recipe
"I knew this recipe was a keeper when my mother-in-law asked for it!" relates Marty Matthews in Clarksville, Tennessee. The hearty soup, chock-full of leftover ham, veggies and cheese, is creamy and comforting. And even though the recipe makes enough to feed a crowd of post-holiday guests, Mary notes, "don't look for leftovers!"
- 2 cups diced peeled potatoes
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sliced carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
- 1 cup frozen peas
- In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, water, carrot and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheese until melted. Stir into undrained potato mixture. Add ham and peas; heat through. Yield: 7 servings.

text: blog postsFuture Women in Business Fall ConferenceNov 13, 2013 12:43 pm by Kendall YoksoulianIf you are a female, we have an exciting event coming up for you! It is the Future Women in Business Fall Conference and it is an event that I have been working on for the entire semester now. I came up with this idea as I thought back to how much I struggled with deciding what major to pursue in college. A lot of people recommended business, but I honestly didn't really know what that entailed. I had this (very far off) perception that business was for outspoken and competitive individuals who sat at a desk all day long working with numbers and spreadsheets. I decided to heed the advice of others and I declared a major in business, not really looking forward to what I was getting myself in to. Now that I am a junior in the College of Business here at U of I, I laugh at my old perception of a career in business. There is such a vast array of things that you can do with a business degree – things that I never thought of. A degree in business can open the doors to so many opportunities and it is not a degree that restricts you to one specific industry. I want current high school girls to realize all of the different things that you can do with a business degree. The Future Women in Business Fall Conference provides a way for female high school students to learn just that. It is perfect for students who are considering a career in business, for people who are exploring what major to pursue, for people who feel lost on what to choose, and even for people who think that they could never see themselves in the business field. The event will consist of a keynote speaker, alumnae presentations on what they are doing with their ILLINOIS business degree, and a panel of current U of I students. The alumnae are from companies such as Google, Motorola Solutions, PwC, Groupon and others. It is an event that I wish I had the opportunity to go to when I was making my college and major decision. You will learn that business is even for someone who is soft-spoken, loves to bake, and wants to have a career that helps others – people like me. Where: The Illini Center – 200 S. Wacker Dr. in Chicago Date: Saturday, November 23rd Time: 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM Follow this link to register TODAY because space is limited: http://business.illinois.edu/undergrad/admissions/events.aspx. We hope to see you there!

[frgeek-michiana] OpenVZ instsall - practice round 1
- From: Richard Zimmerman <csxt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: Free Geek Michiana <frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:02:35 -0400
From the Gooselab (remotely):Thought I'd take a crack at installing OpenVZ on Debian Lenny as a practice round to see how far I could get. I used the following document:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_DebianSo far, so good. I made sure I had a fully patched system first (aptitude update - aptitude dist-upgrade) before I added the OpenVZ specific stuff. So far the install has gone quite well. I'm at the point to reboot the server and load an OpenVZ kernel. I've decided to wait til I'm home before trying that in case of problems.
NEXT: Don't forget to boot / attach the CentOS laptop to the network so I can try an CentOS OpenVZ install tomorrow.

The following resources are recommended by Gretchen Passantino, Director of Answers In Action, as part of a responsible voter's personal study & preparation to vote carefully & thoughtfully. I do not necessarily agree with any or all of the views, opinions, recommendations, or statements from these resources, but I have found them helpful in my own research & decision making & wanted to share them with others. No one can tell you how to vote, but I can share my personal opinions. This is not officially representative of Answers In Action or Prince of Peace Church.
California Connected
Public Affairs news magazine television show from public broadcasting. It purports to be non-partisan & informational only, but with legal, educational, & PBS foundations, treat its objectivity dubiously. But it is a good resource for in depth background on each measure, its supporters, & its detractors.
California League of Women Voters Organization
Usually fair, non-partisan guide with excellent resources for answering questions about voting in general (where, how late to register, rights to paper ballots, etc.). I say usually fair because it tends to presume that government is better at making decisions for us than we are ourselves.
California Secretary of State
Official description, text, & pro-, anti- arguments for all propositions. This site also answers all of your general questions, like where & how to register, how to find your precinct, what a lot of the election terminology means, etc.
California Voter Foundation
Excellent, thorough, fair non-partisan guide exclusively for California.
Gretchen Passantino's Humble Opinions
You may e-mail me (email@example.com) about any particular measure, & I will give you my opinion & a short explanation of why I am planning to vote for or against. If you are in Southern California, you may want to attend our Ballot Discussion Group on Sunday afternoon, November 5 (see the Calendar for the details).
John & Ken's Guide to the 2005 Election Propositions
John & Ken are proud that they are unquantifiable as either conservatives or liberals, but mostly that means that their independent, arrogant, & often ill-thought views are likely to madden practically anyone except their faithful listeners. Having said that, I do find that frequently I agree with their decision about an issue or candidate, even though their arguments don't always hold water. They are passionate about restraining open borders & illegal immigration, so on that count alone, I frequently agree with them.
Roger Hedge c ock (Radio Talk Show Host, KOGO San Diego)
Roger is Rush Limbaugh's #1 guest host, & he is a thoughtful, enthusiastic, principled, but easy to understand conservative. I nearly always agree with not only his views, but his arguments in support of those views. He is an under-appreciated, should-be-known better voice of conservative reason & Christian (Catholic) faithfulness.
Note: You may have trouble using the link above because your computer and/or browser may "censor" the "bad word" in the last part of Roger's last name. To reach his website, hand enter the following URL, substituting the last syllable ("bad word") of Roger's name for the dashes (---): http://www.rogerhedge----.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/
Speak Out California!
This organization advertises itself as the voice of "progressives" (trans., liberals). Not only do its own views give me a guide on how I should not vote, but it collects the views of many other liberal organizations as well, so I can be septuptally confirmed in my opposite views. Sarcasm aside, it is truly useful to hold my own views & voting inclinations up to the reflective glare of completely contrary views.
Traditional Values Coalition (Rev. Louis P. Sheldon)
Conservative Christian Organization with special interest in restraining special rights & inclusion for homosexuals.
General Considerations for Any Propositions
• We usually don't need new laws. We have too many already.
• The initiative protocol should be for very unusual situations in which the normal legislative, representative system just cannot or will not deal with an urgent matter. Such as the California legislature being completely dominated & controlled by diehard liberal Democrats who will sacrifice the good of the state for their own partisan agendas.
• Any measure that includes words like "bond," "tax," "assessment," "funding," or similar synonyms means we have to pay more money, either directly or indirectly. The government has too much of our money already. It does not need more. It just needs to use what it has better.
• Any measures supported by lots of unions I usually don't agree with.
• Families, local communities, businesses, & special interest groups are usually far more frugal & efficient in using their own money than are government agencies with somebody else's money. We almost never need to create a government agency to administrate a program that should be private or local to begin with.
• Any measure giving government more power, & individuals/families less, I usually don't agree with.
• It's usually better if our money & decision makers are very close to us. That is, if I'm going to give any of my money or my decision making to someone else, I would rather give it to my city than my county, my county before my state, & hardly ever to that city 3,000 miles east of here. Those who are close are more likely to have to deal with me (& my fellow voters) directly, & are more dependent on a small concentration of voter supporters.
• Prices & markets should generally be governed by the law of supply & demand, not by politicians, taxes, & regulations. Unless it is in the very narrow realm of national security & constitutional rights, government should generally stay out of our business & our lives.
• Read each proposition very carefully. It is often very confusing & has so many caveats & double negatives that a vote in favor turns out supporting what you dont want, & a vote against affirms what you do approve of.
• Double check the title of each proposition. It is always the case that the title sounds like something all reasonable, good people would want. That can be completely deceptive. It is the wording of the measure that counts, not its title.
• It is nearly always the case that 10% or fewer of the people decide for us all. For example, in Orange County, approximately 50% of the residents are old enough to vote. Approximately 50% of those old enough are qualified to register. Less than 50% qualified to register, are registered. Of those registered to vote, only between 8% – 60% vote in any given election. That 60% range only happens in hotly contested presidential elections or for extremely urgent public outcries (like the recall of Davis). 8% is typical for a non-candidate/office, non- hotly contested issue special election. If it rains or a crucial sporting event coincides with election day, it could be even less. So, for this election, it will probably be the case that only about 30% of the registered voters will vote. And only 50% + 1 of those who vote will determine the outcome. Look at your odds: If there were 1000 residents, 500 would be old enough, 250 would be qualified, 125 would actually register, 37 will actually vote, & 19 will decide the outcome. So the convictions of 19 will control the futures of 1000. And if you talk your spouse, your adult children, your neighbors on either side, your small group friends, & your co-workers into voting your way, you can end up having an enormous impact in this election. Get working!
How I'm Voting on November 7
These are only for the national, state, & Orange County, California races & issues. For your local issues, please do your own research. These are my own opinions, & you must make your own decisions about the issues & races that are important to you.
State Offices
My reasoningSince I am conservative in my general outlook (less government is usually better, fewer laws are usually better, taxes should be minimal, people should be responsible), I tend to vote more often for Republican candidates than for Democrats. I am often impressed with American Independent & Libertarian candidates. But another of my basic principles comes into operation depending on whether the election is a primary or a general one. If it is a primary, I vote for the candidate I agree with the most, regardless of his/her party affiliation or chance of winning. If that candidate is not the perferred candidate of my party of registration, I always write a letter to my county party telling them why I didn't vote for their endorsed candidate & why I did vote for whomever I chose. This, I believe is the best way I can use my vote to influence my party's platform & choice of endorsements. If it is a general election, however, I always vote for the least objectionable candidate who has an opportunity to win. This is usually a Republican. My reasoning is that if I can't have the candidate I truly want, I should at least use my vote to ensure, first, that the most objectionable front runner doesn't win &, second, that someone who at least shares some of my values & has a chance to win is supported by my vote. I understand the commitment & consistency of my friends who will always vote for the candidate most supportive of their values, no matter how little his/her chance of winning, but my personal conviction is that while my friends are supporting their non-winning candidate, their lack of support for a less objectionable front-runner is contributing to the election of the candidate we both agree has nothing in common with us. Here is how my general principles are affecting my vote this time:
Governor -- Arnold Schwarzenegger; Lt. Governor -- Tom McClintock; Secretary of State -- Bruce McPherson; Controller -- Tony Strickland; Treasurer -- Claude Parrish; Attorney General -- Chuck Poochigian; Insurance Commissioner -- Steve Poizner; State Board of Equalization -- Michelle Steel. For my own district Member of the State Assembly -- Van Tran.
Federal Offices
See my general principles above. Note that the U S Representative is for my own district where I live:
United States Senator -- Richard "Dick" Mountjoy; United States Representative -- Dana Rohrbacher.
Judicial Offices General Principles: Judges are elected to non-partisan court offices. They are not allowed to campaign in any partisan way. There is practically no way that anyone can find out what kind of a judge they will be or have been without professional legal research into their bench record. Consequently, I usually vote for or against a particular judge only on the basis of personal recommendation or warning from personal acquaintances who work in the court(s) or if a particular judge has been extremely high profile in the general press. Otherwise, I skip the judge section of the ballot. You do not have to vote all races, candidates, & issues on your ballot. You may vote for as many or as few as you like. Blank sections do not invalidate those sections where you do vote.
State Measures
1A -- Transportation Funding Protection -- YES This restricts how money is used that has already been allocated for particular purposes. This gives the state less power, not more.
1B -- Highway Safety Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, & Port Security Bond Act of 2006 -- NO Bond means the government gets more money (in fact, borrows it & must pay interest), leaving us less money.
1C -- Housing & Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act -- NO As Christians we have an obligation to help those who are in need, especially women & children. But that is best done by citizens, churches, & charity organizations, not by the government, which always takes a healthy chunk of anything allocated to run any program.
1D -- Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 -- NO The cost of educating students of any age in California public schools is sky high compared to private institutions, & the quality of the education is abysmal. Public schools do not need more money. They need to spend it better. Do not reward those who waste money by giving them more.
1E -- Disaster Preparedness & Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006 -- NO See 1B above. If you were having financial problems, spending more than you made, would it be smart for you to borrow more money so that you could spend more & be further in debt not only for what you spent, but for the interest payments, too? Or should you examine your budget & learn to live within your means? What works for families works for government, in this regard.
Prop. 83 -- Sex Offenders, Sexually Violent Predators, Punishment, Residence Restrictions, & Monitoring -- YES Although this will cost money to implement, it is exactly the kind of responsibility government should have -- protecting its citizens from threats foreign & domestic. While some opponents say that its features are largely already covered by laws recently passed by the legislature & signed by the governor, it is generally stronger than what was passed. Habitual sexual predators cannot be trusted with the same freedoms of non-destructive citizens.
Prop. 84 -- Water Quality, Safety & Supply, Flood Control, Natural Resource Protection, Park Improvements Bonds -- NO Notice the last word of that proposition -- bonds -- that means "borrow & pay back with interest with inflation-lowered value of tax dollars." In other words, it will cost us more. My general principle is that government doesn't need more money, but better use of the money it has.
Prop. 85 -- Waiting Period & Parental Notification before Termination of Minor's Pregnancy -- YES This removes the special, unjustified, & dangerous exception to the general basic parental right to know & supervise their children's medical care. There are exceptions that will protect minors have reason to fear their parents, for example, a teen who has been impregnated by her abusive stepfather. In my own opinion, it does not go far enough because it still makes abortion the solitary dangerous medical procedure that a parent cannot forbid for his/her child. This only means the minor's parent must be informed, not that the parent can stop the procedure. This is the second proposition advocating similar parental rights. The first was passed by a large margin, but was immediately challenged in the courts, where it died without ever being implemented.
Prop. 86 -- Tax on Cigarettes -- NO If cigarettes are truly so dangerous & costly to the community, then why don't we outlaw them? If we are going to keep them legal, we should not colude with the government to tax by discrimination to pay for programs we don't think we can fund by an upfront, across-the-board tax on everyone. Again, the government has more than enough money. It needs to use what it has better.
Prop. 87 -- Alternative Energy Research, Production, Incentives, Tax on California Oil Producers -- NO Let me understand this -- we're too dependent on foreign oil, especially that from terrorist-linked Middle East countries, so we should make it too expensive to produce oil domestically? This flies in the face of my general princple -- the law of supply & demand should govern the market, not politics, taxes, & regulations (except limited to basic life, safety, & protection from enemies). It is delusional to think that the oil companies, profit-making corporations, are going to altruistically refrain from passing on the cost to the consumer.
Prop. 88 -- Education Funding, Real Property Parcel Tax -- NO See my basic principle about how much money the government needs.
Prop. 89 -- Political Campaigns, Public Financiing, Corporate Tax Increase -- NO Taxes usually means an automoatic "no" to me. Creating yet another government agency to administer a new program with other people's money (yours & my tax money) is usually an automatic "no" to me.
Prop. 90 -- Government Aquisition, Regulation of Private Property -- YES This one is attempting to recitfy the (in my humble opinion) atrocious Supreme Court ruling that redefined the constitutional "eminent domain" principle to include practically anything any government body wanted to do with anyone's private property. While it comes close to providing what I believe is a more constitutionally conservative position on private property rights, it does open government entities (especially cities) to what may be huge financial & legal burdens they did not have before that have little to do with a true "eminent domain" situation. This makes an automatic "YES" vote (less government power is better) difficult. What we truly want is a reversal of the Supreme Court ruling, & local or state remedies in the meantime. This is such a remedy, but it's not the best that could have been written, & it does have some dubious features. I think its protection for property owners outweighs its weaknesses, so I am voting for it, but I respect my friends who are voting against it & holding out for a better worded proposition.
County Measure
Measure M -- Orange County Transportation Improvement Plan -- NO This is extending the life of a "temporary" sales tax increase that has already been renewed, reinvented, & rewritten more than once. Again, they don't need more of our money, they just need to spend it better. I don't care to continue paying higher sales tax just so we can add another HOV lane few people use or a rapid transit upgrade that few people ride. If we truly had a commitment to providing good highways for the majority of typical Caifornia drivers, we could do so with the money we already have for transportation. If we don't have that commitment (& history confirms that resoundingly), then just throwing more money at the wrong commitment won't magically transform it into the right commitment.
Remember, these are my personal opinions. This is the way that I am going to vote. I have many friends who are voting differently & I respect them, their faith, & their principles, although we disagree about certain candidates or propositions. You have to make your own mind up. The Bible commands us to participate in our government in truth, justic, & mercy. It does not tell us how to vote. That is up to each of us individually.
The Lord's Servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will give them a change of heart leading to a knowledge of the truth II Timothy 2:24-26
