DuJuan Harris wasn't much of a car salesman. Didn't sell a single one, in fact, in the week he was working at a Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership in Jacksonville, Fla.
That's OK. As the Green Bay Packers have discovered -- and the rest of the NFL is quickly learning -- the pint-sized running back is far better suited for a job in the NFL.
Elevated from the practice squad Dec. 1, Harris' speed, elusiveness and surprising power have helped give the Packers the consistent run game they've been trying to find all season. The Packers (12-5) play at San Francisco (11-4-1) on Saturday in an NFC divisional game.

Like a fantastic hybrid of some very useful furniture pieces from the sideboard to the baker's rack to the kitchen island, the potting bench is built for function. Think of it as an extra helper in the backyard. When the time comes to pot new flowers, or prune your bonsai trees, a potting bench makes the job more comfortable. Wide work surfaces are brought to your level so you can forget about having to squat in the dirt. Shelves keep pots handy, hooks hold your tools, and shelves keep potting soil in easy reach. The more features on the potting bench, the more helpful it will be in your gardening tasks.
Potting Bench Parties
But the really cool thing about the potting bench is what it can do after sunset. Wisk away the dirt, tuck away the trowels, and dress this item up with a table runner, some outdoor lanterns, and pretty serve ware and you've got an excellent drink or appetizer station for your next outdoor party. Hang a few strings of fun lights and stock it with adult beverages and you've got an instant poolside bar.
Brunch, Lunch, and More
Your potting bench can be used for daytime entertaining, too. Place it near your patio dining table and make it part of your outdoor brunch buffet. Some potting benches even have a built in "sink" that would be perfect for filling with ice to keep drinks cold for guests. It also makes an excellent food preparation spot for backyard barbecues.
How Entertaining
So what other ways are there to use a potting bench? The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Place the guest book on your potting bench at your graduation open house. Pile it high with presents at your child's birthday party. Set up a cheese spread at your next wine tasting. Pull up a stool and work on your model car in the sunshine.
And Don't Forget …
This bench is made for potting. It may look so pretty that you'll be afraid to get it dirty, but don't be. Play in the dirt. Dig, cultivate, prune, and water. Potting benches are built to handle the rigors of gardening. Once you've discovered the convenience of owning one, what used to feel like a chore will quickly turn into a hobby.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Pakistan girl who defied Taliban nearing end of surgeries
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 31st, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A very brave Pakistani teenage girl who dared to pursue education against the wishes of her nearby Taliban - and almost died as a result, is nearing the end of her surgeries in the United Kingdom. Malala Yousafzai has only two more surgeries to endure; a metal plate in her skull to repair the damage bullets caused, and an inner ear implant. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A gunman shot Malala in the head and neck in October as she rode home from school in Pakistan's Swat Valley.Islamist extremists from Tehrik-e-Taliban wanted to kill her for taking a stand for in education for young women and girls. The terrorists vow that they will try to kill her again. Fifteen-year-old Malala's brain swelled dangerously days after the shooting. Pakistani doctors extracted a section of her skull, the size of a hand. Surgeons said that the pressure in her cranium would have caused severe brain damage, killing her. "There is no doubt that the surgery performed in Pakistan was life-saving," Dr. Dave Rosser, medical director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, U.K., said. Malala faced her ordeal with bravery and has made impressive physical strides, Rosser said. "She's very lively. She's got a great sense of humor," he said. Malala is also highly aware of her high profile in the world and what it could mean for her safety. "She remains incredibly cheerful, incredibly determined and incredibly determined to speak for her cause," Rosser said. Malala is limited in what she can do with the patch in her skull missing. Her brain is vulnerable to injury, if she bumps her head in the wrong way. Only her skin and soft cranial tissues stand between the outside world and her brain. Doctors could have covered the breach with the original piece of her skull, which she has carried under her skin since October, where a surgeon in Pakistan implanted it for safe keeping, a common procedure. Malala's own skull section would have no longer fit properly without the addition of some titanium parts, as her head and the bone fragment have since changed. Titanium also has a low incidence of infection and can be handcrafted to near perfection. "It was Malala's final decision," Rosser said. She picked the titanium plate. Rosser says that "the bone will be removed from under the skin in her stomach and cleaned up and sterilized and given to Malala," who will keep it as a remembrance. Malala will also receive a cochlear implant to restore hearing to her left ear. The gunfire broke the delicate bones that help turn sound into sensory impulses to the brain. The device will not allow her to hear completely naturally but will restore enough function to the damaged ear to allow her to hear in three dimensions, which is important for safety, enabling her to hear such things as an approaching car. She recently had surgery to reroute a facial nerve that was damaged in the attempt on her life, leaving part the left side of her mouth listless. "There is a very good chance after this procedure that within a year to 18 months, this will completely recover," Rosser said. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Contest: The SodaStream Taste Test Spectacular featuring CNBC
Ms. Fizz | Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 |Nothing gets us more excited here at Ms. Fizz than a soda showdown at the OK Corral!
Last Tuesday, CNBC stock gurus Jim Cramer (of Mad Money fame) and stock analyst Herb Greenberg went toe to toe in a blind taste test between SodaStream and Coca-Cola products. You see, while Cramer is a huge fan of the product, Greenberg had his doubts on how well SodaStream would compare to name brand soda.
The two decided to put their tastebuds where their mouth is and took a blindfolded taste test. They compared both SodaStream's Cola to regular Coca-Cola and Seagram's Ginger Ale to SodaStream's. Herb and Jim picked SodaStream hands down, both times! (And for the record, the name brand versions were taken straight from the studio's vending machine.)
You can see the action all unfold here! Bottom line: little guy takes on Coca-Cola and wins! SodaStream turns out to be better for the planet AND better tasting!
So we want to know fizz fans, have you ever done a taste test at home for friends and family that are skeptical of the machine? How did it go over?
And in light of all the taste excitement this past week, we've got a very special contest going on to celebrate our triumph! If you help us spread the word about the CNBC taste test by simply retweeting our tweet about it, you could win a SodaStream machine! Winner will get picked tonight 6pm EST, so hurry!

Micro SIM Card Adapter Photo: Gadget Review
You know how the Apple iPad 3G doesn't make use of a regular SIM card for its cellular identification? You know how it uses a micro SIM card instead? What if you wanted to use a micro SIM in a place that normally takes a regular SIM?
Many enthusiasts out there have already taken their scissors to regular-sized SIM cards, trimming them down to micro SIM proportions for use with the iPad. The question is, how do you add that material back?
As it turns out, a company saw the business opportunity and capitalized on it with the $10 microSIM card adapter. It does exactly what you think it does.
Plunk in your newly sized micro SIM card into this adapter and, voila, it looks like a regular SIM card again. This way, you can effectively use the same SIM card for your iPad and for your iPhone… just not at the same time. It does mean that you can save by only having one wireless data plan though.
Wow, kinda expensive over there. I found one from an American company for only $6, here: http://www.luxmo.com/p-1501-luxmo-micro-sim-adapter-with-cutting-label.aspx
Mine is on the way…can't wait!
it states it above that it will be $10
and you can compare with that,which one is better
Could you let me know their price?i want to buy one for testing

Match Preview
Douglas doubt for Robins Skipper Jonathan Douglas is Swindon`s only injury concern ahead of the visit of Sheffield Wednesday. The midfielder is making solid progress in his recovery from the groin injury he sustained during last Tuesday`s 1-0 defeat at Notts County, and manager Danny Wilson is hopeful he will be in contention to face the Owls. Douglas missed the club`s 1-1 FA Cup draw at Crawley a week ago - a game which saw the return of Town striker Vincent Pericard (groin), goalkeeper David Lucas (shoulder) and defender Kevin Amankwaah (knee) from their respective injuries. Loanee David Ball comes back into the equation having been ineligible for the cup encounter. The game sees boss Wilson come up against the Yorkshire club he both played for and managed, reaching three domestic cup finals in the early 1990s as a player, while assistant manager Peter Shirtliff, goalkeeper Lucas and midfielder Jon-Paul McGovern have also enjoyed memorable times with Wednesday in their careers. Sheffield Wednesday striker Neil Mellor is doubtful. Mellor is struggling with an ankle problem that forced him out of the action during the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Carlisle and faces a late fitness test. Paul Heffernan will be vying with Jermaine Johnson for a place up front alongside Clinton Morrison if Mellor fails to make it. Owls boss Alan Irvine could also be without defenders Lewis Buxton and Jon Otsemobor again. Buxton has been sidelined for three games with a hamstring problem and Otsemobor has missed the last five matches due to a calf strain. Irvine has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side chase a fourth successive league win.

Match Report
Robins on song Swindon claimed a vital three points to pull themselves away from the relegation zone with a 2-1 win in an entertaining clash with high-flying Sheffield Wednesday. Jon-Paul McGovern scored the winner for Danny Wilson`s men in the only game in League One to survive the big freeze. Swindon took the lead in the 24th minute in stunning fashion. Good work from McGovern down the right-hand side found Charlie Austin unmarked in the box. The red-hot Robins striker let fly with a sweetly struck volley that found the top right-hand corner of the net - his 13th goal of the season. Wednesday equalised five minutes later in controversial circumstances. Lewis Buxton ran into the penalty area and looked to have rounded Robins goalkeeper Phil Smith from six yards out to score. But Smith brought down Buxton for a certain penalty and red card. However, the referee waved play on and Clinton Morrison was there to tap into an empty net from a yard out. Swindon`s winner came from a long throw by Michael Rose which was flicked on by the towering Sean Morrison in the box and McGovern was on hand to guide it home past Nicky Weaver`s outstretched hand.

The revolutionary Subaru EyeSight1 driver assist system gives the driver a second set of eyes.
The EyeSight system includes stereo cameras mounted on either side of the interior rearview mirror that continuously scan the road ahead. The system processes the images from the two cameras to identify vehicles, obstacles, traffic lanes, and other objects in front of the car.
Subaru chose cameras rather than the front-mounted radar or laser units found in competitive systems. Cameras offer the advantage of readily recognizing cars, trucks, people, motorcycles, bicycles, and some taller animals. Plus, they are not subject to the dents and dings that bumper- or grille-mounted units like traditional radar and laser sensors must endure. Such daily hazards can cause expensive repairs.
1 EyeSight is a driver assist system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance and weather and road conditions. See Owner's Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations.

Circuit's Blog :
Return to BlogLinux Controlled Dumb Terminal Based on MCU
The project shows how an 8-bit ATmega128 microcontroller was used to run a dumb terminal along with an LCD screen and a keyboard.
An RS232 is being used by this simple serial terminal in order for a headless Linux system to be controlled. A level shifter will be needed since this device will be communicating through RS232 and will be using an ATmega128 running at 16MHz. A MAX233 chip will be used to protect the 5V microcontroller since RS232 uses 12V signals. Also, the MAX232 RS232 level converter and the onboard power supply will be used.
A very common 4×20 character LCD is chosen for this project because they are easy to control using a microcontroller and even without one. For parallel programming as well as commands or even custom characters, several bit widths are allowed by the HD44780 chip. Moreover, this LCD makes it even easier to use due to its nice software library. For character input, a common AT keyboard was used. The ET-AVR stamp module with stamp board was used for this project since this dev board is cheap and with built-in essentials. The software used was WinAVR.

UM & Haas: Ensuring the Future of Innovation 2013
By Alicia Bermudez on April 28, 2013 7:50 AM
UM San Francisco invited members of the media and tech communities to support and celebrate the growth of entrepreneurship in the Bay Area by hosting a fundraising event for the annual UC Berkeley Startup Competition (Bplan) at the Walter A. Haas School of Business. The program provides entrepreneurs with the best possible resources, including education, networking, team creation, mentorship and venture financing.

[Windows] Take control of your computer with useful tweaks offered by Fresh UI
Posted By Justin On October 19, 2012 @ 12:30 AM In Windows | 9 Comments
[1]Name the last Windows operating system you used that didn't benefit from a good 'tweaking'. The truth is, almost every operating system runs better after you have it set up the way you want it. The problem is, opening all the different menus to make these changes, or even finding all these menus, can be tiresome. Fresh UI is a program that brings many of these tweaks to you, under one roof.
Main Functionality
To put it simply, Fresh UI is a program that makes tweaking your computer fast and easy. The program allows you to tweak everything from system settings to visuals and everything in between. Yes, all of these tweaks can be done without the program, but Fresh UI helps to speed up this process by offering all of these changes in one place instead of you having to hunt all over your computer for them.
[2]Everyone wants a fast running computer. We also want a computer that is set up in a way that we like. For the most part, you can make a computer do whatever it is you want it to do. However, most of us don't know how to go about doing that. That is where Fresh UI comes in.
This is a program that dedicates itself to helping your computer not only run better but the way you want it to. Please note, this is not a 'miracle' program. Simply installing it won't 'fix' your computer. You need to manually enable/disable/modify the tweaks and settings available in Fresh UI for it to have any affect on your computer. However, after going through the tweaks that it offers, you may be able to offer yourself a better computing experience.
Fresh UI has tweaks related to five main categories:
- Customizing Windows User Interface (UI)
- Optimizing system settings
- Optimizing hardware settings
- Customizing Windows application settings
- Controlling user environment with policies
Of course, this program is not without its flaws. The program offers a lot of tweaks, some of which can be dangerous to your computer if not used right. Don't expect this program to hold your hand as you go through it, either. This is obviously a program that is made for people who have a pretty good understanding of computers. Your best bet is, if you don't know what a tweak does, don't use it!
Also, this program does not offer you anything that you can't do yourself (assuming you know how to do it, that is). This program is only helpful because it offers you all of these tweaks in one easy-to-find place so you don't have to go hunting for them. That alone should be enough to warrant a download. It is free after all.
Overall, I would say that this is a decent program for people who are looking to make tweaking their computer easier. It offers tweaks for every operating system from Windows 7 all the way back to Windows 95. On the flip side of that, if you don't understand what a tweak does, this program is not going to help you figure it out. So if you don't understand what a certain tweak does (whether the program says it is safe or not), I would suggest leaving it alone.

A gated, exclusive and private riverfront estate in the heart of Healdsburg, Sonoma County Wine Country. Riverstone Ranch is just 2 miles from historic Healdsburg Plaza, a short drive to 90+ wineries, Lake Sonoma, Old Town Windsor, Sonoma County airport, and an easy drive to the Pacific Ocean.
The estate has gone through a complete renovation in every house, including the Queen Anne, The Coop and the Oak Tree House, as well as the gardens and property grounds and decking.
THE QUEEN ANNE, late 1800s, is a legacy Queen Anne Victorian with 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom suite has fireplace, king bed, and access to the veranda. The two upstairs guest bedrooms each have their own queen bed and bathroom. One has access to its own balcony.
A remodeled gourmet kitchen offers gas cook top and ovens, fireplace, patio access, and dining area.
Walking from the kitchen to the living area, our guests pass a remodeled half bathroom with hand-painted murals, formal dining room, and finally enter the formal living room and drawing room, featuring hardwood floors, sofas and chairs.
The brick patio is extensive with plenty of outdoor seating, gas grill, hot tub, fountain and pond, a beautiful newly sodded lawn, oak and redwood trees, crushed granite walkways, beautiful new decking with river views, and a vintage Sonoma water tower.
THE OAK TREE HOUSE is a storybook cottage with one bedroom featuring a queen bed, a extra room with trundle bed, and one bath. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and counter tops, and the beloved oak tree still rises from floor to ceiling. Guests will enjoy the circular dining area with glass windows and doors offering vineyard views. There is a deck with table and chairs to relax in the evening or have your morning coffee while listening to the birds and sounds of nature around you.
THE COOP is a charming cottage with two bedrooms, each with its own queen bed and private bath. It has a small kitchen, sitting area, and private deck.
The vacation rental includes The Queen Anne and either The Oak House or The Coop (a total of 5 bedrooms). Or, for groups wishing exclusivity, the entire estate can be rented, which will include conference table and chairs in 'The Office Building' on the estate.
Caveat. Country estates such as this offer guests a unique opportunity to experience the Sonoma Wine Country, but they are not hotels. Agricultural work at nearby vineyards is occasionally noisy and performed at night. You may hear the sound of a wedding at nearby Healdsburg Country Gardens. All the elements of a country estate are present, including deer, foxes, hawks, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, and poison oak. Some areas on the estate are rugged and steep. There is no beach, nor safe access to the river. Children need to be watched at all times.

On a recent overnight visit to my grandparents' home, I left my make-up bag behind in their bathroom after taking my shower. My grandma brought it in to me a few minutes later and said, "Ken, Hon, you need a new make-up bag. This thing is terrible." I laughed because I have used the same make-up bag since I was 16 years old. I'll be 39 this year and my make-up bag definitely looks like I've had it since I was 16 years old.
Since my bag never leaves home with me other than in an overnight bag, I've never really cared that it's tattered and worn and pretty grungy. But my grandma inspired (embarrassed) a desire in me for a nice, new, pretty bag so I decided to make one. I'm also in need of a new coin purse so while I had my materials out, I made myself a new one of those, as well.
I'd share a photo of my old make up bag so you could see I used it as a pattern for my new one. But since my grandma who loves me more than life itself was disgusted with the old bag, I'll spare you!
The construction of the bag is very simple. The front, bottom, and back are one continuous rectangle of fabric and the 2 sides are also rectangles. So you'll begin by cutting a 14" x 9" piece of fabric and (2) 6" x 3 3/4" pieces. You'll need to cut the same pieces from contrasting fabric for the lining of the bag, leaving you with 2 large rectangles and 4 smaller ones.
If you want to create a multi-patterned large panel as I did, cut (3) 14" x 3 5/8" panels. Stitch the long edges of these panels together using a 1/2" seam allowance. Press the seams open.
Layer each piece (except lining pieces) over quilt batting and baste along the edges. Trim away any excess batting.
Create appliques using the Hearts Shape Template. I find the easiest way to work with appliques is to create a double-layered applique with the fabrics right-sides together and stitch along the outline. After cutting the shape out, make a snip in the back layer of the fabric and turn the shapes right-side out. Press the appliques and stitch them to the middle of the front of the large rectangle panel. The turning hole will be hidden when the applique is stitched to the bag.
Place the front panel on the corresponding lining panel, right-sides together. Stitch along the long edges (only) using a 1/2" seam allowance. Turn the panel right-side out and press. Do the same with the side panels but stitch around all the edges, leaving an opening for turning. After turning them right-side out, hand stitch the turning opening closed.
Locate the center of each long edge of the large panel, as well as the center of each side panel. Pin the side panels to the large panels, matching these center points.
Fold the sides of the long panel up and pin the edges to the side panels. Stitch all the panels together using a 1/4" seam allowance.
Using the zipper foot of your sewing machine, baste one side of a 10" zipper to the inside edge of one side of the bag.
Prior to basting the zipper to the bag, you can pin a piece of trim to the front edge of the bag so that when you baste the zipper on, it will pick up the trim piece as well.
Baste the other side of the zipper to the other edge of the bag, opening the zipper as needed (with your needle in the down position) to allow the presser foot to pass easily. Use 1" seam binding tape to cover the raw edges of the zipper and fabric panels. Cut (2) 4" x 2 3/4" pieces of fabric and fold and press all the edges over to the wrong side of the fabric 1/4". Fold the pieces in half long way and press so that you have (2) squares. Stitch these squares over the ends of the zipper to create decorative tabs as seen in the photo of the finished bag.
The coin purse is made similarly, only round instead of rectangular.
Using the 4 1/2" circle from the Super Size Shape Templates, trace (2) circles, for front and back, and (2) circles for the lining. Make marks 1/2" from the edge of the cirlces all the way around the circle to create a seam allowance. Cut the circles out using the marks you made as a guide. Create appliques using the Hearts template and stitch them to the front panel. Follow the instructions for the side panels on the make up bag to add quilt batting and assemble the panels.
Cut (2) 3" x 2 3/4" pieces of fabric and (2) lining pieces of the same dimensions. Follow the instructions for the large front panel of the make up bag to add quilt batting and assemble the pieces. You will have (2) short tubes of fabric. Turn the edges of these under 1/4" on each end.
Cover the edges of a 9" zipper using 1" seam binding tape.
Slide the short tubes of fabric over the ends of the zipper and stitch them to the zipper. Pin the 2 ends of the strip together and stitch them with a long zig-zag stitch.
Match the zig-zag stitched seam to the center of the panel with the appliqued heart. The center will be right below the point of the heart. Pin the pieces together, keeping the edges of the strip and the edges of the circle matched until you reach each end of the zipper. Stitch these pieces together using a 1/4" seam allowance, just as you did when stitching on the sides of the make up bag. Blindstitch the edges of the zipper/seam binding tape to the lining of the panel. The zipper will be recessed so it will not line up with the edges of the circles. Just take care to attach it evenly all the way around as you stitch. Repeat this process with the back panel of the purse.
Add embroidery stitches as desired.
When you're finished, you have 2 pretty new bags you'll be proud to throw in your purse or overnight bag!
buttons (optional)
Embroidery floss (optional)
Eyelet trim (optional)
10" zipper for make up bag

Mitt Romney's super PAC is making a big buy in PA:
Restore Our Future is launching an eleventh-hour ad blitz in Pennsylvania, POLITICO has learned.
It is going up Tuesday with a $2.1 million ad buy across every Pennsylvania market, including pricey Philadelphia.
The group will air a spot, "New Normal," that lashes President Barack Obama on the economy and is already up in other parts of the country.
All is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen.

Question for the other Vodkayaites (Vodkapunditaites?) in Colorado — today we had to turn off the radio in the car because there was an Obama ad between each song and the next (and I was starting to speak to the radio, and when the German swearwords started, husband turned it off.)
Is this "normal" — it's never happened to us before.

I don't listen to the radio much, so all I can go by is the TV ads. Romney (and his supporters) seem to have the airways covered pretty well there, though there are some Obama ads (the "Morning in America" ad with Morgan Freeman, piped in from an alternate universe, comes to mind), and a really stupid ad featuring cartoon ducks.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't normal. Colorado has been purple for a while.
Maybe that will change now.

"All is proceeding exactly as I have (Edit: ordained)." You are a god.
Looks like the firewall is succeeding in NV and maybe NH. Does not look like it is holding for IA and OH. Now, Mitt is expanding his campaign to MN, WI, and PA. Trying to pick up a little insurance, maybe?

Whose firewall? According to Rasmussen, Romney's 50 – 48 in NH and Obama's 50 – 48 in NV.

I just hope it's not all happening too late. I would have really liked to have seen this two weeks ago.
On the other hand–maybe it works better this way, because if Romney really can grab these states, it'll be too late for O's Chicago Machine to get in place to steal them through fraud. If Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc. flip this late in the game, then there's not a whole lot that the Dhimms can do to counter it.

People in at-play states (I dislike the term "swing state" for some reason) get inundated with political advertising and quickly tire of it.
Those of us in states not perceived as "at play" have an even lower tune-out threshold than, say, your average Ohioan because we don't have to put up with it regularly. I suspect that if Pennsylvania has only just become "at play" in this election cycle it's probably better not to pound them with messages three times longer than they'll listen to.

Well it looks like Obama is running all over the place either trying shore up or regain support in states that were supposed to be safe for him. The view for Obama has been gauzy, YEAH!

I'm a California resident in Las Vegas for a few days, seeing presidential election ads for the first time in forever. Back-to-back Romney and Obama ads. I can't imagine who would be swayed.
Funny, that supposed geeks-only debate made the difference.

According to pollsters they have. I've seen ads in Republican Primaries that have changed who I supported. And I've seen ads in general elections that pushed me from "hold my nose" to "like".

I don't know why Mitty is spending money in PA, since the cities are going to overwhelmingly go for the Dems, leaving the uneducated bitter clingers in the rural areas to vote for the Union buster.
In my area over the weekend, I saw a lot of Obama signs on the better looking houses, with the Romney signs usually in front of run down trailers and houses that looked as if they housed the Addams family after being financially ruined.
I attended 2 gun shows, one in York, and the other in Gettysburg, clandestinely spreading my message of gloom and doom for the Repubs(Romney has no chance; it's a shame, but he's going to lose). At the Gettysburg show, there was no politicking, although the number of Confederate lovers was sickening.
At the York show on Saturday, the announcers kept warning about the doom that would come from an Obama victory, as people rushed to stock up on machine guns, .50 caliber ammo, fake grenades, and the usual sort of trash on sale at these shows. I don't think a lot of people paid attention to the ads, and some of the dealers were irritated with the constant interruptions.
It should be noted that a lot of dealers I've talked with in the last several weeks actually want Obama to win, so as to keep the gun prices high and people buying out of fear. They aren't smart enough to understand that Obama can(and should) after being re-elected, issue an executive order stating that the UN Small Arms Treaty is now the law of the land, and the bitter clingers have 30 days to turn in all guns, ammo, and such. There won't be any rebellion, despite the alcohol fueled talk.
I talked with a few people at the political tables, and when they asked me who I was voting for, I told them that I couldn't vote for Romney since he wants to destroy unions in this country. I mentioned this to a lot of the dealers and buyers. It's true, although I exagerrated things a little. I also pointed out that Romney's support is mostly coming from the bankers, and do they really want to support the people on Wall St?
A good weekend's work, as far as I'm concerned. I'm taking today off because my office is closed, and am going to drive around the York outskirts and put down some Obama signs.
BTW, note this chart via The American Conservative:
A lot of real conservatives support Obama, and very few real libertarians are supporting Romney.October 30, 2012 - 6:18 am Link to this Comment | Reply-

This paper introduces a new family of multivariate distributions based on Gram-Charlier and Edgeworth expansions. This family encompasses many of the univariate Edgeworth-Sargan (hereafter ES) or Gram-Charlier densities as marginal distributions of the different formulations. Within this family, we focus on the specifications that guarantee positivity so obtaining a well-defined multivariate density. We compare different "positive" multivariate distributions of the family with both the multivariate ES and the Normal in an in- and out-sample framework for financial returns data. Our results show that the proposed model provides a quite reasonably good performance being so of interest for applications involving the modelling and forecasting of heavy-tailed distributions.

Stanley Park
Vancouver, Canada
Submitted by: Andrea Winkler
A unique urban forest in the middle of Vancouver.
Why It Works
Stanley Park is a unique place, not only for its magnificent trees--like giant fir and cedar--which are unusual for an urban park, but also its variety of activities, which make it one of the top destinations in Vancouver for locals and visitors alike. The park spans 1,000 acres and includes sandy beaches, swimming pools, lakes and stunning vistas from the sea wall. The large expanse of grassland through the park provides an ideal spot for picnickers, and many groups organize outings and sports activities here: family reunions, groups of friends hanging out, or even company picnics.
The array of activities available have inspired nicknames like "Vancouver's playground." Its rolling hills host numerous events throughout the summer, from 'Theatre Under the Stars' to the annual Chihuahua walk-a-thon (thousands of Chihuahuas -- a sight not to be missed!). The park is also home to the Vancouver Public Aquarium and Zoo, nestled among the trees. The large grounds of the zoo are not visible from the road; they unfold into an unexpected animal kingdom. A network of trails lead visitors through the forest along "Lost Lagoon" (a tranquil habitat for many animals and birds that has an almost ethereal quality) to a majestic fountain. Moving along the beachside, there are food kiosks, playgrounds and an outdoor swimming pool that overflows with children in the summertime. Two wonderful restaurants benefit from some of the most spectacular natural settings of any urban park in North America.
Stanley Park is a great lesson in public space real estate: Its best asset is location, location, location. Only minutes from downtown, it is easily accessible by foot, bike and car. A road meanders through the park taking drivers from downtown to the Lions Gate Bridge, which hosts marathon runs in the summer months. The seawall, which circumnavigates the park, extends from Coal Harbour to the West side. The wall is used by pedestrians, bikers and rollerbladers. It's a calming and enjoyable way to commute to work, and a great way to take in the scenery on a Sunday afternoon stroll.
History & Background
Originally used as a military installation for the British and named after Lord Stanley of Preston, the acreage is now protected and remains Canada's largest public-funded park.

This is what happens when you try and ignore the Ron Paul movement

GOP can stop O by preventing a quorum at Electoral College
<<<"What is this final chance? Will the Republicans step up to the plate and do what is necessary?
Barack Obama has not yet been re-elected president.
Yes, the election is over – but remember, a presidential election in America is not by popular vote. We vote for the candidate, but what we are really doing is voting for the electors who will meet on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December.
That is when the actual re-election of the president occurs.
Is there a way to stop this?
Yes, there is.
And the best part – this is totally constitutional.
The 12th Amendment of the Constitution as well as Article II of the Constitution govern the Electoral College.
According to the 12th Amendment, for the Electoral College to be able to select the president, it must have a quorum of two-thirds of the states voting. If enough states refuse to participate, the Electoral College will not have a quorum. If the Electoral College does not have a quorum or otherwise cannot vote or decide, then the responsibility for selecting the president and vice president devolves to the Congress.
The House of Representatives selects the president and the Senate selects the vice president.
Since the Republicans hold a majority in the House, presumably they would vote for Mitt Romney, and the Democrats in the Senate would vote for Joe Biden for vice president.
Can this work?
Sure it can.
Democrats have actually set this precedent of refusing to participate to deny Republicans a quorum. They did this in Wisconsin and in Texas. Why can't we do this with the Electoral College?
Mitt Romney was a terrible candidate, and he will not be a great president. But he will be infinitely better than Barack Obama.
So how do we do this?
Mitt Romney carried 24 states. We need to have conservative activists from all over the nation contact the electors, the Republican Party and the secretary of state in all of these states and tell them not to participate in the Electoral College when it meets on Dec. 17.
If we can get 17 of those states (just over one-third) to refuse to participate, the Electoral College will have no quorum. Then, as the Constitution directs, the election goes to the House of Representatives.
That is how we can still pull this election out and make Mitt Romney president in January.
We need this concept shared with every tea party, liberty and patriotic group throughout the country. We have time to act, but we must pressure Republicans to do the right thing.
It does not matter who gets credit for this. The credit is not important. Using our last chance to defeat Barack Obama is important.
Far too often the Republican Party seems more interested in losing gracefully than winning and governing.
This is our last chance. We the people must contact the electors, party officials and secretaries of state from every red state and insist that they refuse to participate in the Electoral College.
We can still save America and use the Constitution to do it. But this truly is our last chance.">>>
No Man's need constitutes an obligation on the part of another man to fulfill that need.

so we can have a different statist for Prez. It's like asking if we want Coke or Pepsi.
"Would you like your tyranny w/cream or just black?"
Being infinitely better the Obama isn't saying much and I don't know that infinitely is the right term.
"The Monday after the second Wednesday..." ...so, the third Monday??
Anyhow, you shared some info I had no idea about and I thank you for that. I will look into it deeper in case we ever have someone worth going through all the trouble over.

Identifying land use practices in relation to settlement shifts in Medieval Islamic Transjordan using phytolith analysis
This project will investigate the agricultural practices adopted by the state and villagers during the Middle and Late Islamic periods in the Transjordan, and assess the long term effect of their choices on the environment of the areas under study. In addition, this analysis will evaluate human-environment interactions and changing agricultural economies, as key factors of settlement shifts and periods of 'decline' in the periods of study (Mamluk, 1260-1516 and Ottoman 1516-1918 periods). The study is very interesting as it is the first attempt to use phytoliths, micro-botanical remains, to approach the macro-questions of current research on rural life in Medieval Islam.
For the purposes of this project, soil samples for phytolith analysis will be acquired from selected sites under study. This project may shed light on subsistence, economy, agricultural practices, settlement cycles and micro-environments of different regions of the Medieval Islamic world. It is an effort to complete the picture of state-villagers relationships and how land use strategies adopted by both sides marked demographic and environmental decline of different geographic regions.

My dad was a news man. He didn't write for a newspaper or report it on T.V. --he just loved the news. He would plop a newspaper over my book and say, "Here, read this and find out what's going on the world!" I was not interested, my world consisted of books like Pardon Me, Your Stepping On My Eyeball and The Exorcist.
Let it be known, however my Dad wasn't just any news man. To be more specific, my Dad was strictly a CBS news man. Huntley and Brinkley or Harry Reasoner were not welcome in our living room--but Walter Cronkite always was offered the place of honor, and everyone had to pay their due respect. No one and I mean no one could speak during the CBS Evening News. If you were so bold, Dad would glare at you wide-eyed and point and snap his fingers at you for your immediate silent compliance!
I never knew what was big deal. I would ususally try to sneak outside. Not a chance. For some reason, my Dad had it in his head that I was some Edna R. Murrow in training and expected me to sit with him and "watch the news find out what's going in the world!"
So while my five brothers and sisters were living it up, playing Freeze Tag or kickball, I'd be imprisoned on the couch doing NP (News Patrol) with Dad. Walter would be talking about this girl named Karen would couldn't wake up or this other girl named Patty who wore this very cool Beret and on and on about something called Watergate. That last one I really didn't get. Why didn't they just let the water of the gate and be done with it already?
But soon the 30 minutes of mind-numbing torture would be over and I could escape back into my little world of playing Star Trek with my brother or writing stories about demon possessed cats. Soon though Sunday would roll around and I was captured again. SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!
Sunday may have been a day of rest according to God but according to Dad, it was the biggest news day ever. Sundays were the worst because I was stuck on that couch for 10,000 minutes! Okay, only 90 but it felt like 10,000. Yes, Walter Cronkite talked for the first 30 but then Mike Wallace droned on for the next 60 Minutes! All those Sundays of childhood lost because Mike Wallace had to report in excruiating detail about the sleeping girl, the Beret girl and that dumb Watergate thing.
Now, never in a million years would I have fathomed being able to tell Mike Wallace face to face how he ruined my childhood. But low and behold, thirty years later, there I sat in Mike Wallace's office in the CBS Building in New York City. I wasn't anyone of import, mind you, just a lucky flunky on a film crew but I didn't let that stop me.
I mean all I kept thinking of was my dad and how maybe I could make it up to him a little. Make it up to him for dropping out of high school journalism and never reading his great American novel and just being a stuck up English Lit major.
So when a lull in the conversation presented itself I jumped in. "Mr. Wallace, I just want you to know that you ruined my childhood."
"Great!" the eighty-six news icon replied not missing a beat.
"My Dad loved the CBS Evening new and 60 minutes. Every Sunday, he would make me watch the news with Cronkite and then you on 60 minutes. My father is in the last stages of Parkinson's Disease and it would mean so much to him if you would say hello. His name is Hendrik."
Then Mr. Wallace looked straight into the camera and said, "Hendrik, thanks for watching CBS all these years, with Murrow, Cronkite and the rest, I know it wasn't easy with such a devil daughter. Good health to you, sir."
It was perfect. And the icing on the cake was the picture I sent standing between Mike Wallace and Morely Safer with the biggest, sappiest grin on my face.
My Mother said my Dad watched the whole demo reel and when it came to that last little bit with Wallace addressing him personally, he paused the tape and asked, "Did Mike Wallace just say my name?" Mom said he played that part over and over and called his brothers and sisters too. From that day on, he kept that picture of me and the 60 minutes men on the table next to his easy chair.
Yes, Mike Wallace ruined my childhood but he made it up to me when he gave my Dad one of the biggest thrills of his life. Now, I'm sure my Dad and Mr. Wallace are in the next life enjoying their reward but still looking down on us to see what's going on in the world.
Wallace was kind to do that for your Dad. Sorry for your loss.
Before you make snide remarks, I suggest you read comments more carefully. It's perfectly clear that I was commenting on OS, not you.
and this follow up
And as this new urban newsroom legend has it, never fact-checked of course, which is par for the course, of course, beer magnate Joseph Coors reportedly originated the alleged maxim when he allegedly quipped, although there is no recording of him saying it: "The four most dreaded words in the English language -- 'Mike Wallace is here.' "
Most likely, Coors never said that.
True, there was a newspaper ad that Coors took out in 1983 that used that line as part of the ad copy, but Mr Coors himself never quipped those exact words, never said those words, never uttered those words. They were put in his mouth by a savvy team of Madison Avenue copywriters. Welcome to another faux quote making the rounds of the Internet in this Age of UnFactCheckable/UnFactChecked Facts.
Whoever actually first uttered that Coorsian phrase, it wasn't Jean-Paul Sartre, that for sure, nor was it Sartre-joker Jonathan Rauch, but you can bet that plenty of big shots believed it, and when Mike Wallace passed at 93 recently, newspapers and wire services and TV eulogies and websites and blogs were inundated with the faux Coors quote as if it was a real quote.
Joseph Coors never said that. When I asked a top newspaper editor, whose newspaper had also used that faux quote, he wrote back to me in a very nice way and said: "The editorial about Mike Wallace and Joseph Coors in our newspaper did not report that Mr.
Coors said it. It reported that 'as legend has it,' he originated the phrase. We also were diligent to note that "regardless of whoever actually first uttered it" -- clearly casting doubt on whether Coors was the first. So no, we didn't "fall for it.""
But hundreds of newspapers and blogs and Web sites did fall for the faux Coors quote and it's now part of urban newsroom legend, which no amount of digging or investigative legwork can undo. What's done is done. Coors said it, make no mistake about it. Mike Wallace knows the truth, but he aint talking now. Gone with the wind, Mike took the truth with him. Long live Mike Wallace!
Andrew Beaujon at the Poynter Institute asked in a headline: ''Who really said, 'The four most frightening words in the English language are 'Mike Wallace is here" '?
Beaujon asked in his short item on the faux quote, if faux it really is, and the jury is still out to a three-martini lunch on this one:
"[It's an] interesting question: Who really said "The four most frightening words in the English language are 'Mike Wallace is here'?''
The Los Angeles Times attributes it to Joseph Coors. "Wallace had such a fearsome reputation as an interviewer that 'Mike Wallace is here to see you' were among the most dreaded words a newsmaker could hear," writes David Bauder of the Associated Press.
In The Washington Post, Adam Bernstein wisely goes with the passive tense: "For anyone hiding a secret, it was often said, four of the most dreaded words in the English language were 'Mike Wallace is here.'" In an AP gallery:
"His reputation preceded him: 'The four most dreaded words in the English language: Mike Wallace is here,' as the saying goes." Someone get an investigative journalist on this pronto!"
Investigative journalists around the country are now looking into this tempest in a Coors can.
A top newspaperman in New York, well placed to know what he is talking about, tells me: ''A copy of the 1983 ad was on the wall in Mike Wallace's office. CBS aired another copy in its Wallace obituary on the evening news the other night.''
So the ad exists. The copywriters really did put those words in Joseph Coors' mouth. But he never really said it. Not in real life. Only on Madison Avenue. Coors is now credited with the famous faux quote, he is said to have quipped the quip, and whether we like it or not, in this Age of Internet Gullibility, the fake Coors quote is here to stay. And ''hell really is other people at breakfast,'' as John Paul Sartre once quipped in 2003. Not.

Great story telling, and you're a daughter who turned out right.
Other than "60 minutes" (I was actually on a segment related to 9/11--another story), "The Daily Show" is my only other source of TV news, which speaks volumes for the decline of broadcast "journalism" these days.
