Having found the issue "quite… complex" when facing it herself as a parent, Veronica Arreola of Women In Media & News writes (10/8/08) that "the debate over vaccines is a serious issue and does not deserve to be sexualized" as in this Chicago Tribune lede (10/3/08): "Former Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy and actress Amanda Peet are publicly feuding over the safety of childhood vaccines. Who says there's nothing sexy about inoculations?" Arreola reads on:
After some serious discussion about the issue, Peet, a mom who decided to vaccinate and believes in it versus McCarthy, a mom with an autistic son who believes that vaccinations are the cause, the Tribune ends with another jab at sexuality:
Too bad the Wall Street bailout debate is devoid of celebrity combatants. Just imagine how spicy it would be if Heidi Klum was ripping Kate Hudson for her stance on credit default swaps.
I somehow doubt that if two Hollywood dads were feuding over something I doubt that it would be sexualized. There is enough drama surrounding the debate to on whether to vaccinate or not to vaccinate, whether vaccines causes autism, and how much we can trust medical societies.

Here's a grab-bag of new tunes we've taste-tested for you and we recommend for downloading (legally, of course) or streaming to your personal media device.
"Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons
'); } -->
Here's a grab-bag of new tunes we've taste-tested for you and we recommend for downloading (legally, of course) or streaming to your personal media device.
"Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons
What you think is going to be a light romp into Top-40-Land turns into a beat-heavy, atmospheric blast. This Las Vegas band must've pulled some influence from the desert wastelands of Nevada because this song is an anthem for post-apocalyptic survivors. With lyrics like, "I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus. This is it, the apocalypse" – this is the Mad Max of indie bands. And the group's debut album is ripe with heavily produced songs that have both pizzazz and humanness.
"Eyes Wide Open (Yeasayer Remix)" by Gotye
If Gotye was somebody that you used to know, you'd call him, Wouter De Backer. This Belgian-Australian has been around for roughly 10 years, producing his Peter Gabriel-esque music. He allows the experimental rock band, Yeasayer, to twist and morph a new song out of this single from his most recent, highly successful album, "Making Mirrors." Yeasayer brings its weird noise approach to the track – you'll ask questions like, "Is that a conch-shell horn?" The vocals hang on the broken melodies as the music swirls through a digital pipe in the dark, without knowing what to expect around the next turn
"March to the Sea" by Baroness
Hailing from Lexington, Va., playing out of Savannah, Ga., Baroness yells unusual harmonies with hoarse, battle-weary vocals. These guys are old-school hard, rocking the sing-along while drums pound, the bass thumps and fingers bull-rush guitar frets. This album is the third to be colored-coded – "Red Album" in 2007, "Blue Record" in 2009 and the current "Yellow & Green" – all share the same bruising tone. Unfortunately in August, the band's tour bus crashed in England and three of the four members of the band were injured. They've cancelled the remainder of their 2012 tour dates. It just goes to show you, life is too short not to check out some great, new music.

What does the word community mean to you?
Webster's on-line dictionary defines it as a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
In my world it is the group of mountain bikers who come together once a week with a shared common goal — to shred. It's the band of runners training for a race who go for coffee after each well earned run. It is also the herd of families who venture on an annual kayaking trip.
These events keep us happy and grateful to be part of something bigger than ourselves. They also keep us engaged in the activity. Research shows that you are more likely to stick with your exercise routine if you are doing it with a friend instead of alone.
Here on the Sunshine Coast, there are many ways to get involved with community when pursuing your outdoor sport. If you like to run, there is Sunshine Coast Athletics (http://sunshinecoastathletics.org/), the tireless folks who put on events and have coaching clinics.
If paddling is your thing, check out the Gibson's Paddle Club (http://www.gibsonspaddleclub.ca/) for outrigger canoeing clinics and events.
If you like to ride a bike, go to the Sunshine Coast United Mountain Bikers (SCUMB) www.scumb.ca or the Sunshine Coast Cycling Club www.sunshinecoastcycling.ca who do a variety of group rides for all ages and abilities.
Finally if you like to hike, try the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club http://tetoutdoor.weebly.com/.
There is nothing like being part of a community especially when the people there share your passion for the outdoors.
So what are you waiting for? This month, join a group or a club…it costs very little and the benefits extend well beyond the activity itself.
Until next time, see you out there!
Editor's note: Lydia Watson's column appears monthly in Coast Reporter. She handles marketing and outreach programs for Off the Edge Bike shop in Sechelt and is the conveyor of the highly successful mountain bike operations program at Capilano University.

Current Time
see + do
Miami see + do
From families seeking fun in the sun to Brazilians escaping the Southern Hemisphere winter to gaggles of Midwestern girls on bachelorette weekends, Miami's colorful tourist cross section demands a wide range of things to do. And the city delivers both ocean and land-based pursuits.
The beach, of course, is a big draw and there's sand for every taste. Those looking to loosen their bikini top gravitate to freewheeling Lummus Park while families prefer the quieter scene in North Beach and nature lovers head to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne. Water activities like surf skiing and parasailing are centered in South Beach. Pools at hotels like the Raleigh and the Gansevoort are additional just-add-water options with a vibrant scene. The city's warm climes also make outdoor pursuits such as tennis and golf (there are more than 20 courses in the area) a big part of daily life.
Nowhere else in the country has architecture like Miami's. The homegrown MiMo styles along Collins Avenue in Miami Beach encapsulate the jokey optimism of the atomic era in its colorful facades. South Beach contains one of the world's largest and best preserved concentrations of Art Deco and Art Moderne buildings in the world. The Design District and its culturally inclined surroundings are also becoming a popular draw. The area's Art & Design Night, on the second Saturday of each month, opens the door to a hive of creative activity in former warehouses that now contain photography studios and contemporary art exhibits. As for the city's cultural offerings, the Adrienne Arsht Center, built in 2006, houses the city's opera, symphony, and ballet. The most buzzworthy event alights in early December in the form of Art Basel, when the beau monde of the international art world turn Miami into jet set central for a few extra-decadent weeks.

This build is yust a test to see if it was possible and so far yes, most testsuites also ran fine apart from some strange things (binutils final strip didn't work acording to the tests) Base of the book is clfs since toolchain builds from hlfs are bailing out with cross-compiling errors. I was looking for a way to build a hardened wahtever lfs since hlfs is currently only for x86 and to see or hardened specs could easely be intergrated into another platform, maybe someone over here can help out? -- Groetjes Japie

Online Edition of Another Baloch Newspaper, Daily Tawar, Blocked
MASTUNG/KARACHI: Authorities in Pakistan have allegedly banned the online edition of a popular Urdu language newspaper which pursues a critical editorial approach toward the government policies.
According to the details, the online edition of Daily Tawar, the most widely quoted Urdu newspaper of Balochistan with a staunch pro-nationalist policy, has been blocked by the government authorities in order to deny access to local and international readers. Viewers of the site said since the last one week they had been receiving one message on the newspaper's home page saying that it was inaccessible because of containing technically harmful material. However, the site is still accessible via proxies such as Vtunnel.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) had previously banned the first online English language newspaper of the restive province, The Baloch Hal, in November 2010 allegedly on the instructions of the military authorities. The online newspaper's site is still not accessible in certain parts of Pakistan with the government unwilling to clearly state the reasons for such a blocked of a liberal and progressive newspaper.
Banning online newspapers, websites and blogs has been a consistent government policy in Balochistan where the Amnesty International recently called upon Islamabad to offer an accountability for the government's "kill and dump" policy in the insurgency-stricken province.
Past Tense
The government and media relations in Balochistan have been very tense in the past few years in the province since the inception of a military operation. Several journalists have been killed, kidnapped, tortured and threatened while performing their professional responsibilities. Officials have also shut down dozens of websites and portals criticizing the government policies.
A leading Baloch newspaper, Daily Asaap, was forced to shut down by the government functionaries two yeas ago after the security forces laid a siege of the paper in Quetta. The offices of Daily Balochistan Express and Daily Azadi were also besieged by the government in the recent past to interfere in their editorial policies.
Meanwhile, the Canada-based Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) has condemned what it called as "the brutal act of Pakistani security agencies to silence the voices of freedom of expression by blocking the web site of a newspaper…known for its critical coverage of the military operation and gross human rights violation committed by the Pakistan Army against secular forces in the occupied Balochistan."
No government official was available for comment when approached by The Baloch Hal to ascertain the official stance on the ban on the Baloch newspaper site.

March on the Farm
Making a Difference for the Environment – with Our Food Choices!
By Peggie Griffin
What a winter! How exciting that spring is just around the corner! Get those seed ordered and those hoes sharpened! I can't wait to get my hands in the dirt again!
When the hands get dirty, one also needs a good soap! One of the luxuries I allow myself is hand-made soap. Today as I was noticing that my soap supply is low – I remembered that I haven't written about the farm from whom I purchase wonderful soaps.
Farm of the Month: 7 Paths Farm
At left: LaVona Mickler at 7Paths Farm with one of her goats
7 Paths Farm is a Certified Natural Grown farm in Lincoln, Alabama. The farmer, LaVona Mickler, works with her three children to make the farm diversified and to try to preserve some of the diversity of the wildlife around her.
When asked the story behind the name of her farm, LaVona commented, "It's a bit of humor – a path to the chickens, one to the rabbits, one to the garden, one to the goats – and so forth. It also represents my multiple heritages and the diversified crops I grow."
LaVona has always loved animals and nature. "I grew up around ponies, horses, getting to walk in the woods and enjoy the trips to the mountains. I love Nature, animals, mountains and the woods with creeks and streams. I enjoy watching the hawks fly, listening to the crickets at night. Music is a pond with the bullfrogs at night. . . or the swaying of the trees before a storm."
She got her first look at some aspects of farming when she started raising rabbits as a young mother in Oklahoma – and worked with the children in 4-H Club. When she returned to Alabama to be close to her family, she had to decide how a young single mom could support her family and still have time for her children. Her love for animals and nature and her desire to grow her own food seemed to make farming a natural fit.
She has now been marketing produce at the farmers' market for 4 years. Last year they sold produce through the Sand Mountain Clean Food Network, a local farmers market and directly off the farm. "I grow a hodge podge of everything," she commented. Indeed, if you look at the 7 Paths Farm website, you will see an array of farm fresh free range eggs, flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. She also has CAE clean registered Nubian and LaMancha goats, goat milk soap, layer hens, rabbits, and rabbit manure for gardens.
Learning to make a living by farming has been a learning process for LaVona, and now she eagerly shares it with others who want to learn to farm. Her first students were her children who have their chores that help with the day to day work of the farm. (One of her children is now married and lives in Oklahoma.) In addition to their daily chores, Alex, Valarie, and Rebecca each get to raise their own crop and earn the proceeds.
LaVona also serves as a resource person for people in the community who come and learn from her. She told me about one person who came for a lesson in trimming goat hooves. Another came for a demonstration on learning to handle and care for rabbits, as well as to determine the sex of the rabbits. Feeling very strongly that farming is an important part of our heritage, she is eager to share her knowledge and to help folks acquire farming skills.
Children are important to LaVona. She enjoys sharing her love of farming with children – and introducing them to her goats, chickens, rabbits, and dogs – as well as to her garden-fresh produce. "I let the children get first hand experience – giving the children an opportunity to interact with life, instead of computers, televisions, and electronic games."
LaVona's life-choice of farming is a spiritual and philosophical decision. She writes, "What I have learned these last few years about how our food is grown opened my eyes to what is a scary situation that everyone who cares about this earth and their families should know about. But people don't have a clue – or don't want to know.. . . It requires an awakening."
As I concluded my interview with her, La Vona summed up her commitment to farming: "Farming is a lot of work. It's a necessity – that if you're not able to grow for yourself, then support someone that can. If you are able, continue sharing and growing. If it inspires someone along the way, then its even better.
"We're here to take care of the earth – the earth takes care of us. We need to try walking a better path – learning from those before us to pass on to the future. Carson Waterman said – "You may be as modern as you wish, but please learn and take your traditions and heritage with you on into the future."

Recipe of the Month
Apple Cider Vinegar Ricotta
1 gal. fresh whole goat's milk
1/4 c. cider vinegar
¼ - ½ tsp. non-iodized coarse or kosher salt to taste
Bring the fresh whole milk to 185*. Remove from heat. While stirring the milk add in the vinegar. Tiny curds will form very quickly. Pour into a cheese cloth lined colander. Drain for 20 minutes. Mix salt to taste. Keeps well in the refrigerator for about 1 week. For a creamier texture add a little heavy cream or milk.
I have taken this cheese and added fresh herbs mixed them together and used as a spread on breads.
My daughter has cooked the recipe idea below.
Take 4 large tomatoes. Cut off the tops of the tomatoes and set aside. Clean out the seeds.
Take the cheese and add fresh basil, parsley, garlic, onion... mix together at this time if you wish to add any roughly chopped cooked meats like chicken, beef, or bacon pieces you can blend them in together with the cheese mix.
Stuff the Tomatoes with the mixture and add reserved tops. Bake at 350* for 5 to 10 minutes depending on your preferences and your oven.

A decision not to repair some sea defences on the north Norfolk coast has huge implications. The EDP spoke to UEA ecology professor Alastair Grant about what the future could hold.
The uneasy balance between the vast salt marshes on the north Norfolk coast and the freshwater habitats has been disturbed by the aggressive storm surges which battered our region last month.
The sea tore through the flood defences on the coast, but also ripped open the debate about whether we repair the defences and protect freshwater habitats, or allow the salt water to remain.
Environment Agency boss Paul Leinster told MPs that there would now be discussions with Natural England, and others, as to whether the flood water, which breached defences in Brancaster, Blakeney and Salthouse, will be thwarted.
"The question has to be, do we reinstate those defences and then allow freshwater habitat to re-establish, or allow inter-tidal habitat to establish?" the agency's chief told MPs on Wednesday.
University of East Anglia professor of ecology Alastair Grant, who particularly studies salt marshes, said it was almost inevitable that the sea would break through at some point. Sea level is steadily rising, particularly in East Anglia. The storms had just seen the flooding happen more quickly than expected.
The UK government – through the EA – has to create more salt marshes to replace those being lost to the rising sea to comply with European Union directives.
"In one sense, the surges have created salt marshes that are needed to replace this loss," said Professor Grant.
"If the breaches aren't repaired then the salt water will stay in and the land will gradually revert to salt marshes, if it is relatively high, or mudflat if it is low down."
But he said freshwater habitats, "artificial" but prized by the nature conservationist, would be lost. "These artificial habitats are actually very important. A lot of money has been spent on building the freshwater marshes, such as Cley, and they are used by birds particularly."
The bitterns are probably the most high-profile of these species – the Cley marshes are one of the few places in Britain where they breed.
Several species of ducks, warblers, water fowl and water plants could also disappear from the areas affected, he said.
On the flip side, the creation of more salt marshes would be particularly good for Brent geese and wading birds.
But the most visible difference would be the salt marsh plants which might appear, according to the UEA expert.
These could include sea lavender and samphire – the trendy vegetable favoured by top London chefs.
Professor Grant does point out that the areas prone to seawater flooding were originally salt marsh anyway.
"The whole coastline from Salthouse westwards is a series of shingle ridges and sand dunes, which would have originally had salt marshes behind them. They were reclaimed, largely for agricultural use and some of it is grazing marsh," he said.
In his job he has studied areas that have returned to salt marsh after being flooded either deliberately, or accidently, including sites at Brancaster and Titchwell.
"The work we have done indicates that you often don't get a really high quality salt marsh. There was a big storm surge in 1898 and some areas flooded then still do not look like natural salt marshes, even after 100 years," he said.
But that does not mean you cannot intervene.
"There are some things that can be done to improve the quality of what you get, such as planting of more interesting species," he added.
And he also said that agencies could landscape the areas to ensure there were not large waterlogged areas that plants could not grow on.
But what about the lost freshwater environments? That is the crunch, says Professor Grant.
"What needs to happen is some sort of creation of new freshwater habitat. There is not really space to do that on the north Norfolk coast. We may have to go around to the Fens or the Broads to provide for the species and habitats that we are losing."
So what is the answer?
"We cannot hold back the sea, or at least not without great expense," he said.
"It makes sense to try if you are protecting many properties, or large areas of land.
"I suppose some would argue that the Cley marshes are irreplaceable, and should be protected at any cost."
But with sea levels set to continue to rise, repairing flood defences may only be temporary.
Whether or not the Environment Agency and other bodies decide to do this is the big question that will have to be answered in the coming weeks and months.
1 comment
Logically, it makes no sense to repair the sea defences if the impact on property or wildlife is inconsequential to the well being of the area or local economy. However, the desire by the Environment Agency to limit spending on repairing sea defences in North Norfolk may have more to do with spending cuts than concern for the environmental or economic impact of carrying out such a plan. Indeed, one must question 'if' the need to even consider such a plan would have occurred if the economy wasn't in such a mess? As it stands the impact of failing to renew the sea defences is being left to a paid consultancy firm which is financed by the government. Hardly, something which instils confidence in those of us who would like to see an independent assessment of the situation. The reality of abandoning some of the sea defences along the North Norfolk coast has some potential benefits in some areas and hugely damaging ones in others. To expect, and more importantly trust, this government to put the interests of the community before its quest to save money is quite frankly absurd and comes down to the simple question of whether or not you believe that they care about the consequences of whatever decisions they decide to take.

The Baluchistan Union of Journalists released a statement condemning Haq's death and demanding the formation of a high-level committee to investigate the brutal murder and provide security for journalists.
The Balochistan Peoples Party appeals to pressure the Iranian government to stop mass execution of innocent Baloch people.
Snubbing allegations and threats by armed organisation Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Aman Balochistan, female relatives of the missing persons on Wednesday declared that they will not back down from protesting and will continue the hunger-strike camp for the recovery of their loved ones.
Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) Chairman Nasurrallah Baloch has said that his and other members of VBMP's lives are in danger. He has sent a letter to the Supreme Court registrar and the United Nations.
[The UN team] said that, according to the 1992 Declaration for Protection of All Persons Against Enforced Disappearances, no circumstances whatsoever, whether a threat of war, a state of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked to justify enforced disappearances.
Group's chairman says Justice Iqbal misrepresented number of missing persons
The International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons have send the following letter to United Nations Secrtary General Mr. Ban ki Moon and head of Working Group on Enforced Disappearances Mr. Olivier de Frouville urging them to make direct contacts with Baloch families of extra-judicially killed and enforced-disappeared activists.
The Baloch Diaspora in Europe has held simultaneous protest demonstrations against continuous disappearances and extra judicial killings of Baloch activists by Pakistani and Iranian security forces in Balochistan. The International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons and Baloch Student Organisation Azad had given the call for worldwide protest on 30 August, 'the International Day of Disappeared'. Protests were held in Ireland, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Germany and Canada.
LeJ claims responsibility: Late in the night, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) sectarian extremist group claimed responsibility for the gruesome killings. A purported spokesperson for the LeJ said that his group was responsible for the killing of seven Hazara community members.
Enforced disappearances continue in the province as does the dumping of bodies and impunity for perpetrators. Frontier Corps and intelligence agencies are generally believed to be involved in enforced disappearance; in some cases their involvement had been proved beyond doubt, the report says.

Costello audit urges Qld to sell assets
PUBLISHED: 01 Mar 2013 08:16:14 | UPDATED: 01 Mar 2013 08:18:15PRINT EDITION: 01 Mar 2013Former federal treasurer Peter Costello's report on Queensland's finances says that if the state "is to substantially reduce debt, it will have to review its assets." Photo: Jesse Marlow
A report on Queensland's finances is expected to recommend selling off major assets to reduce debt.
Former federal treasurer Peter Costello's report will be handed to the Queensland government on Friday.
The Commission of Audit he has led says it would take 50 years to pay off Queensland's debt if nothing was done, The Courier-Mail reports.
The sale of electricity assets such as Energex and Ergon would raise the $25 to $30 billion needed to reclaim the state's AAA credit rating, the Costello report says.
"If the government were to achieve a consistent fiscal surplus of one per cent of revenue year after year, it would take 50 years to reduce debt by $25 billion," it states.
"The state will have to manage its balance sheet quite differently.
"If it is to substantially reduce debt, it will have to review its assets."
The report recommends the state also consider selling some of its other government-owned corporations (GOCs), such as water infrastructure manager Sunwater and the Queensland Investment Corporation.
It says Queensland's GOCs are costly, with $300 million spent in the past three years on electricity generator CS Energy.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls told The Courier-Mail the government would keep its promise not to sell assets without a mandate.
"I think the balance of this term is about making sure we have got the government-owned corporations running effectively and efficiently, delivering the services they should," he said.
A summary of the report will be released later on Friday and the government will spend several weeks considering the full audit.

That's pretty hard to compete against.I was playing for the championship one of those yrs (I THINK 99?), and he has Johnson going on Sunday night while I was 38 pts up. Needless to say he went on to pitch a CG SO with like 18K's, and I lost. IMO, he's the all time Fantasy Ace.

Food Allergy ResourcesSchool Spotlight: Inly School in Massachusetts Raises the Bar
By Paul Antico
Inly School, in Scituate, Mass., is a pioneer in dealing with food allergies in schools, and continues to be progressive in its efforts today. Although a lot of educational institutions nationwide struggle to figure out how to accommodate students with food allergies, while keeping happy the other 94% of the parent and student population, Inly has been at the forefront, thanks to the efforts of its Head of School, Donna Luther. A nut-free school for over 10 years, Inly also recognizes, and has successfully accommodated, students with a wide range of food allergies. The Inly faculty and staff understand the severity of food allergies, as does the Inly community of parents and students. The community recognizes and respects that these young children need to be accommodated and protected, and that they're just like every other child—they have play dates, they attend birthday parties and they go on field trips. All members of Inly's compassionate community take seriously their own role in ensuring that every student can comfortably experience the school's innovative educational opportunities. Existing as an allergy-friendly school for over 10 years has helped Inly cultivate such an understanding and respectful community. It's sad to say that in this day and age it's a luxury to have a full-time nurse. Inly bucks the trend. School nurse Ruth Rizzi has trained the entire staff about food allergies and in the use of epinephrine auto-injectors. The school keeps epinephrine auto-injectors in all its classrooms, as well as in the nurse's office, something many schools do not even consider. Epinephrine auto-injectors are also brought on all field trips and overnight excursions. Because Inly prefers to have its school nurse administer epinephrine whenever possible, Rizzi carries a specific cell phone at all times to be alerted if a child is experiencing an anaphylactic reaction or seizure. One push of a button on the classroom phone will ring this cell phone. Inly's nurse also maintains a binder containing folders with key information for each student's food allergies, so this critical information can be immediately handed over to paramedics in an emergency. Now, thanks to the efforts of thoughtful parents, Inly has a food allergy support group that discusses and shares ideas amongst each other and the rest of the community in an interesting, informative, yet non-intrusive, manner. In essence, Inly is a ground-breaking and successful example of a school that properly accommodates, cares for and protects students with food allergies. The entire community—faculty, staff, parents and students—has every reason to be proud of their school's progressiveness in managing food allergies in an educational setting, as well as in their own understanding and compassion toward students who are forced to deal with these allergies every day. Inly truly is a role model for all the schools in America facing this critical issue. Paul Antico is a father of five, three of whom have food allergies. He is president of the board of directors for the Inly school, serves on two other food allergy non-profit boards, and is the Founder of AllergyEats (www.allergyeats.com), the largest and fastest-growing peer-rated guide to allergy-friendly restaurants. Approved by KFA's Medical Advisory Team September 2011. Kids With Food Allergies is a nonprofit charity. More than 80% of KFA's financial support comes from donors like you.

The only toted advantage to the PSP-3000, the latest revision in Sony's PlayStation Portable line, is its more vivid, brighter, colorful screen. Brighter and more colorful it may be, but early user reports are hovering question marks like vultures above the "vivid" claim.
According to multiple users on the PlayStation forums, PSP-3000 owners are experiencing scanlines and ugly interlacing problems with a huge number of games… to the point that in a game like Disgaea (above), the PSP-3000's screen is noticeably inferior to the PSP-2000.
Sony's early response? It's a "feature." Worse, there are no plans to fix it with a patch, because it's not a "feature" of the software, but of the hardware.
In truth, until the PSP-3000 is hackable, there was little reason to buy one anyway. But messing up the 3000'S only advantage over more hackable models is a supreme FUBAR.
PSP-3000's screen has scanlines, games have odd interlacing problems [PSP Boards via Engadget]
Update: Sony Japan's full explanation:
PSP-3000 has a new LCD device with vastly improved picture quality, achieving a more natural and vivid picture than older models. By improving LCD response time to reduce ghosting, the horizontal-line phenomenon becomes more visible… Since this is caused by hardware characteristics, there is no plan to fix it with system software update.
Personally, I'd be happier with marginally less vibrant colors.

Ran across a Glenfield 30-30 today that was a straight stock (like a Texan) and it had a deer head stamped or carved into the butt stock. I think I recall a post were someone commented on this as a special run for some store. I forget the model it was something like 30GT or something like that. Is this worth more than a regular pistol grip Glenfield? Any information on this gun is appreciated. Don't need another 30-30 but this looked a little "different".
well i aint no expert by anymeans, and the one i bought was not a straight grip, but it was a Marlin FOREMOST mdl 3040 in 30/30,with a deer head in the stock as well.This one was mede for JC Penney i believe.There is a reference library here that tells you what model for what "store brand" it was made for.As far as being worth more,there was one on GB for around 300 when i bought mine,so the prices are pretty identical, but the carving is a nice touch!
always remembered,KGW.thanks for the good times

Eventually everything becomes collectable - but it's value is a matter of time and demand. How much time do you have? Will there ever be demand? To the best of my knowledge, straight stock Glenfields are pretty rare. Don't know if there is much of a market for them though.
The better question is, "Do you want it" - because you never know how long us Marlin crazed guys will be around to sell it to and but for us there is no market.
I look at these things this way - how much does it cost me to own it.

...how much does it cost you to own it? Unless one is put on a charge card that is not paid in full each billing cycle, nothing. They only eat whenever you want them to. Have fun, jack
This I-pad knows what I want to say and how to spell better than I do. Sometimes I catch it's mistakes, sometimes I don't.
I would pay up to $400 on a 30GT. Is it worth that? Maybe not. To most folks, its just a Glenfield 30-30, a $300 rifle at best. But those 30GT's are rare! I have only seen them in pictures. It would be worth, to me, the $100 premium just to know that it resided in MY gun safe.
Not nothing - the money you have into it that could be doing some thing else is the cost to own it.Originally Posted by jack therwhanger

Intel Stock Starts Countdown to Launch
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Intel (INTC - Get Report) has been trailing the semiconductor industry for the past year, experiencing hard times even in this good market.
Revenue and earnings haven't been disappointing but have been in line with analysts' expectations. They feel that the stock price is depressed and if they are right, investors coming in at this level could see an annual total return in the 19%-to-21% range over the next five years.
Let's look at how depressed the stock really is.
During the past year while the stock was down 21% the market as measured by the Value Line Arithmetic Index was up a solid 15% as this graph provided by Barchart shows:
Fundamental factors: Intel is huge with a market cap of $105 billion. The price-to-earnings ratio is a reasonable 9.88 and the dividend yield of 4.24% is about 45% of projected earnings. This year revenue is expected to be up 1.40% and up again next year by 4.50%. Earnings are estimated to be down 8.90% this year due to heavy research and development expenses but up again by 8.20% next year, possibly continuing to improve for the next five years at an annual rate of 12.33%. The financial strength is A++ and TheStreet considers this a B- stock. Technical factors: Due to the downward momentum the stock gets a 67% technical sell indicator from Barchart but recently the Trend Spotter has issued a hold signal. The stock is trading above its 20- and 50-day moving averages but still below its 100-day moving average. The price was down 3.30% for the month and 20.40% for the year. The relative strength index was a neutral 49.89 and Barchart computes a technical support level at 20.97. The stock recently traded at 21.15 slightly above its 50-day moving average of 21.05. Investor sentiment: Sentiment is getting stronger with both the professional and individual investor. Thirty-seven Wall Street brokerage firms have assigned 49 analysts to predict the numbers and they gave six strong buy, 10 buy, 25 hold, seven under perform and just one sell recommendation to clients.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Lisa Mason's Morning News (09-17-13)
by Lisa Mason
posted Sep 17 2013 8:07AM
I've added a handy chart to this morning's news to preempt everything the MSM is about to start saying about Buddhism. 34 year old ex-shooter Aaron Alexis is said to have been a practicing Buddhist. I ... think he's doing it wrong. BTW, do you know many Zen Buddhists it takes to change a light bulb? Three. One to change it, one to not-change it and one to both change and not change it. The 12 killed in yesterday's shooting at the Washington Naval Yard haven't all been identified yet but the debate over gun control is already heating up. If guns cause crimes, then I'm blaming this Dell keyboard for all the typos.
Only in Colorado can you go snow skiing and water skiing on the same day. I've always felt bad for the people of that state, prone to so many disasters plus they spend their entire childhood having to plan Halloween costumes around a coat. The footage of the floods is staggering – seems like every car fleeing the area has a mountain bike on top that cost more than the car.
I don't want to say things are going badly for President Obama, but the winner of the Miss America pageant received a congratulatory phone call from Vladimir Putin.
There's a crisis in New York! Since Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner both lost their races, the city currently has no politician embarrassing himself.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says he is turning over his chemical weapons because Russia asked him to, "not because of the U.S. threatening to bomb him." He also said his doctor just told him he's allergic to gluten and being bombed.
New reports say that there are 1,000 feral rhesus monkeys living in Florida and many of them have herpes. Whatever you do, don't walk around down there dressed like a sexy banana.
And a few things you need to know…
On this date in 1796, President Washington gave his farewell speech, saying he was retiring for good. Washington had it tough; he didn't have much of a previous president to blame everything on.
Today back in 1964, "Bewitched" made its debut. It taught us that if you replace Darrens and act natural, no one will notice.
It was this date in 1920, the American Professional Football Association -- which became the NFL -- was formed in Canton, Ohio. Up until that time, people got things done on Sunday.
I missed this one yesterday thanks to the sick freak who shot up the Naval Yard in Washington. The fans at Seattle's CenturyLink Field set the Guinness Book record for the loudest crowd ever at 136.6 decibels, which is comparable to a jet engine at 100-feet. No wonder people are sleepless in Seattle. It's too loud to doze off. You know who I feel sorry for? The NSA operatives who were listening to that Seahawk game with their super-sensitive microphones
It hasn't commanded decent press in years but now we know NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is now officially 12-billion miles from Earth. Of course, Voyager doesn't recognize The Seattle Seahawk's Guinness Book record for world's loudest crowd, because in space, no one can hear you scream.
And finally -- Miley Cyrus has quit following Liam Hemsworth on Twitter. That can only mean one thing: breakup! More information about their relationship is available through the freedom of information act at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Bonus random story of interest: You'd think Hawaii would be used to this but a woman there is in trouble with the DMV because her name won't fit on a driver's license. Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele married into that beast of a last name and is being told she can't have it on official documents because there's not enough room. Mrs. Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele lost her husband in 2008 and takes great pride in the name. In Hawaiian, her name means "When there is chaos and confusion, you are one that will stand up and get people to focus in one direction and come out of the chaos." Seems perfectly suited someone fighting with the DMV.

Your comment of just when we thought we'd run out of things to complain about, "along comes a free album" was ignorant. People aren't complaining because they got a free album.

Case Overview
The Graham's penstemon.
(Photo: Susan Meyer)
The Graham's penstemon is a beautiful wildflower that lives exclusively on oil shale in the Unita Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. The penstemon is uniquely adapted to live in this harsh, dry climate. Future development of oil and gas and oil shale threatens the very existence of this flower.
In 2006, the Fish & Wildlife Service proposed that the Graham's penstemon be included on the endangered species list. But in 2007, the FWS reversed its decision, despite scientific evidence that this wildflower is threatened.
Earthjustice is suing on behalf of conservationists.

Groundhog Day
Not yet rated
Time Out says
How would it feel to wake up to the same day every day? Would you crack up at the sheer tedium of it all? Cynically exploit others (they don't know they're trapped in a time warp) with what you learned about them the day before? Or use the situation to better yourself? That's the dilemma facing misanthropic TV weatherman Phil Connors (Murray) when he once more visits the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania - 'weather capital of the world' - to report on its annual Groundhog Day ceremony. What's so satisfying about Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis' script - besides the sheer plethora of gags - is the way it rigorously covers every last nuance of Connors' nightmarish predicament: he can drink himself legless without fear of the morning after, endlessly refine his chat-up lines, become an expert in 19th century French verse, but whatever he does he ends up back where he was on the dot of six. Ramis directs this surreal suburban fantasy with an admirably light touch, revelling in its absurd repetitions, surprising us with narrative ellipses, and allowing Murray ample space to indulge his special mix of sarcasm and smarm. But this is first and foremost a comedy of ideas, on which score it never falters.Author: GA

Ruler 2 is a new app from the same folks who brought us the popular book app, Classics. Like Classics, Ruler 2 pays equal attention to form and function; beneath the glossy interface is an easy-to-use ruler, complete with a slider for measurement instead of forcing you to guestimate. The app supports both inches and centimeters, includes a trick for measuring longer objects, and allows you to copy and paste your measurements into apps like Calculator or Mail.
It's a big step up from the original Ruler: just ask the developers. "Ruler 1.0 was, to put it bluntly, awful, so we burned it to a fine ash and began again," said co-creator Andrew Kaz. Their hard work seems to have paid off. Ruler 2 is clearly well-thought out, proving that traditional mediums aren't necessarily the best implementations. In some ways, the iPhone/iPad app is more useful—and certainly more convenient—than a wooden ruler. (I really like that automatic slider. No more guestimation!)
To celebrate Ruler 2's launch, developers Andrew and Alexa are hosting a contest. Happily, you don't even have to buy the app, and entering is easy. Prizes include fresh new Apple swag—a 64GB iPod Touch, a 16GB iPod Nano, the new iPod Shuffle, and the new Apple TV. By spreading the word about Ruler 2 via Facebook or Twitter, or by signing up for the email list, you get one entry in the drawing. (For more information, or to enter, go to http://rulerapp.com/.)
Ruler 2 is a great new implementation of a ruler app for both iPhone and iPad, and the contest is just an added bonus – you don't have to buy Ruler 2 to enter! Check Ruler 2 out on the App Store; the universal version is a mere $0.99.
