It has been suggested that this article be merged with Condensation trap. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2012. |
A solar still is a simple way of distilling water, using the heat of the Sun to drive evaporation from humid soil, and ambient air to cool a condenser film. Two basic types of solar stills are box and pit stills. In a solar still, impure water is contained outside the collector, where it is evaporated by sunlight shining through clear plastic. The pure water vapor condenses on the cool inside plastic surface and drips down from the weighted low point, where it is collected and removed. The box type is more sophisticated. The basic principles of solar water distillation are simple, yet effective, as distillation replicates the way nature makes rain. The sun's energy heats water to the point of evaporation. As the water evaporates, water vapor rises, condensing on the glass surface for collection. This process removes impurities, such as salts and heavy metals, and eliminates microbiological organisms. The end result is water cleaner than the purest rainwater.
Solar stills are used in cases where rain, piped, or well water is impractical, such as in remote homes or during power outages.[1] In subtropical hurricane target areas that can lose power for days, solar distillation can provide an alternative source of clean water.
A simple basin-type solar still can be constructed with 2-4 stones, plastic film or transparent glass, a central weight to make a point and a container for the condensate. A cubic hole in moist ground is created of about 30 cm (12 inches) on each side. Into the centre of this hole, a collection container is placed. Then a sheet of plastic film is stretched over the hole.
An alternative method of the solar still is called the transpiration bag.[2] The bag is a simple plastic bag and it folds over a stemmed plant with a corner pointing down to allow the condensate to pool. From there a person can remove the water by taking the bag off and pouring the water out or one can make a tiny incision into the corner to drip water into a cup. Its advantage over the basin type solar still mentioned before is that it only requires a bag like one can get at the grocery store. It doesn't need to be completely transparent. A disadvantage of the transpiration bag is the requirement for a plant in direct sunlight or heat to take the condensate.
In a study performed in 2009, variations to the angle of plastic and increasing the internal temperature of the hole versus the outside temperature made for better water production. Other methods used included using a brine to absorb water from and adding dyes to the brine to change the amount of solar radiation absorbed into the system. During the adjusted tilt angle experiment, the different angles used by the different researchers created different results and it was difficult for any of them to get a definite answer. In the graph, a bell curve is observed with the maximum water output being at 30 degrees angle adjustment. Each brine depth created a different amount of water and it is noted on the graph that about an inch is optimal with a decreasing trend if more is used.[3]
The "wick" type solar still is a glass-topped box constructed and held at angle to allow sunlight in.[4] Salt water poured in from the top is heated by sunlight, evaporating the water. It condenses on the underside of the glass and drips to the bottom. A pool of brine in the still attached to the wicks which separates the water into banks to increase surface area for heating. The distilled water comes out of the bottom and depending on the quality of construction most of the salt has been purged from the water. The more wicks, the more heat can be transferred to the salt water and more product can be made. A plastic net can also catch salt water before it falls into the container and give it more time to heat up and separate into brine and water. The wick type solar still is made vapor tight, as in the vapor does not escape to the atmosphere. To aid in absorbing more heat, some wicks are blackened to take in more heat. Glass's absorption of heat is negligible compared to plastic at higher temperatures. A problem, depending on application, with glass is that it is not flexible if the solar still is not a standard shape.
The system is inefficient for how much work is put into it versus the water output.[5] In desert environments water needs can exceed 1 US gallon (3.8 L) per day for a person at rest, while still production may average 8 US fluid ounces (240 mL) per day.[5][6] Even with tools, digging a hole requires energy and makes a person lose water through perspiration; this means that even several days of water collection may not be equal to the water lost in its construction.[6] Because of this, it is advised to make a solar still to supplement another water source, such as a reverse-osmosis unit or water purification tablets.
In 1952 the United States military developed a portable solar still for pilots stranded on the ocean, which comprises an inflatable 24-inch plastic ball that floats on the ocean, with a flexible tube coming out the side. A separate plastic bag hangs from attachment points on the outer bag. Seawater is poured into the inner bag from an opening in the ball's neck. Fresh water is taken out by the pilot using the side tube that leads to bottom of the inflatable ball. It was stated in magazine articles that on a good day 2.5 US quarts (2.4 l) of fresh water could be produced. On an overcast day, 1.5 US quarts (1.4 l) was produced.[7] Similar sea water stills are included in some life raft survival kits, though manual reverse osmosis desalinators have mostly replaced them.[8]
There are many films and books talking about this technique.
In Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, the main character, Piscine Molitor Patel (Pi), survives on a life boat in the Pacific with a Bengal tiger by using twelve solar stills to extract fresh water from saline ocean water.[9]
In the 2002 horror film 28 Days Later about a "zombie apocalypse" in Britain, Frank attempts to use this technique after seeing it on television, but is unable to do so properly.
In the 2013 movie All Is Lost, the character played by Robert Redford discovers that his water jug was accidentally contaminated by seawater. Later, after observing condensation in some of the plastic bags he has on his life raft, he constructs a crude solar still using the water container, with one side cut out, a plastic bag that fits over the whole water container, a small collecting can in the middle, and a compass in the middle, so that the condensed water drains into the can.

text: Balloon Rocket Experiment On SCOPE's Rockets episode, Tasmin experimented with different types of rocket balloons. Here's how to try this experiment at home! What you need: Balloons (different shapes) A few metres of string and fishing line Drinking straws cut into small sections Sticky tape Bulldog clip What to do: 1. Tie one end of the string to a high point, and roll the other end out to the ground. 2. Thread the string through a piece of straw. 3. Your balloon rocket will be fuelled by air, so blow up one of the balloons but don't tie it – clamp it closed with the bulldog clip instead. 4. Sticky tape the balloon to the straw, with the balloon opening pointed towards the ground. 5. When you're ready for blast off, take the bulldog clip off the balloon and watch it fly! 6. Record how far the balloon flies up the piece of string. 7. Try the experiment again with different shaped balloons, and with fishing line instead of string. Does this change how far the balloon rocket travels? If you blow more air into the balloon does it travel further or faster, or both? What's happening: When you blow up the balloon, you're creating lots of pressure inside the balloon. Once you release the balloon the air rushes out, propelling the balloon up along the string. Narrow balloons have less air resistance than round ones, which means they can travel faster. String is much rougher than fishing line, and so the balloon travels more slowly on the string. It's the same as trying to slide down a smooth plastic slide or a rough wooden one – you slide much faster down a smooth one!

One Michigan school district recently changed the way it chooses and teaches students advanced mathematics, leaving some parents upset that their gifted children will not continue in the accelerated classes. The district says it uses a combination of assessment scores in math and cognitive reasoning -- as well as grades, exam scores and teacher recommendations -- to select students in fourth through eighth grades for accelerated math instruction. However, parents say a good program for accelerated children has been cut.

The recipients of this year's PEN Translation Fund Awards were announced last week, and once again, a number of really interesting projects are highlighted—including a number that are still looking for a publishers . . .
For those unfamiliar with the prize, this was established in 2003 thanks to an anonymous gift of some $730,000 and every year ten or so translators receive $2,000-$5,000 for a project they are working on. These projects don't need to have a publisher already, and since translators apply directly, the Fund receives approx. 130 applications each year. (Almost half as many applications as the number of translations published in the U.S. . . .)
Anyway, here are this year's winners:
Eric Abrahamsen for My Spiritual Homeland by Wang Xiaobo (1952-1997), a collection of penetrating, funny and breathtakingly frank essays written fifteen years after the Cultural Revolution by one of China's most insightful and controversial writers. (No publisher)
Mee Chang for Garden of Youth (1981) by Oh Junghee, a series of powerful stories that center on the struggles of domestic life during the Korean War, by a writer widely recognized as the master of the Korean short story. (No publisher)
Robyn Creswell for The Clash of Images (1995) by Abdelfattah Kilito, a hybrid bildungsroman, written in French, set in the medina of an unnamed Moroccan city. Growing up in a traditional world where the image is taboo, the protagonist is seduced by new American technologies of the image. (No publisher)
Brett Foster for Elemental Rebel: The Rime of Cecco Angiolieri (1260-1310?), a selection of impudent sonnets by a Sienese rival of Dante with a penchant for parodic wordplay. (Forthcoming from Princeton University Press)
Geoffrey Michael Goshgarian for The Remnants by Hagop Oshagan (1883-1948), a historical novel widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Armenian literature, written in the early 1930s "to save what remained of our people." (No publisher)
Tess Lewis for That Didn't Reassure the Children (2006) by Alois Hotschnig, a collection of disquieting stories about the mystery, fluidity and perils of intimacy, by a prize-winning Austrian writer renowned for his stylistic virtuosity. (No publisher)
Fayre Makeig for Mourning (2006), a selection of free verse poems by H.E. Sayeh, an eminent contemporary Iranian poet whose life and work span many of Iran's political, cultural and literary upheavals. "Tell us, heaven, why the rain / pours from your eyes…" (No publisher)
Arvind Krishna Mehrotra for Poems of Kabir, a selection of 60 Hindi padas (songs) by India's legendary mystic poet saint (1398?-1448?) who opposed all religious and social orthodoxies and oppositions. "But I'm wasting my time, / Says Kabir, / Even death's bludgeon / About to crush your head / Won't wake you up." (No publisher)
Frederika Randall for Deliver Us from Evil by Luigi Meneghello (1922-2007), a darkly original memoir, ordered by theme rather than chronology, set in rural Italy when the Church and Il Duce ruled. The savage immediacy of childhood perception combines with amused and astutely ironic insights in an unsentimental human comedy. (No publisher)
Daniel Shapiro for Missing Persons, Animals and Artists (1999) by Roberto Ransom, a short story collection by an acclaimed young Mexican writer which explores the enigmas of art and the creative process with gentle irony and whimsical, at times fantastical, premises. (No publisher)
Chantal Wright for A Handful of Water (2008), poems written in German by Tzveta Sofronieva, a young Bulgarian-born poet, trained as a physicist and science historian, who also writes in Bulgarian and English. Joseph Brodsky said of her, "Listen carefully… She has something to say." (No publisher)
Congratulations to all the winners, and I'm especially pleased to see Tess Lewis, Eric Abrahamsen of Paper-Republic) and Daniel Shapiro of the Americas Society. The unsigned books on this list usually find a publisher within days, so it's possible this is already out of date . . . Which is great for the translators and authors, and means that I really have to get moving on contacting the right people about the projects that sound most interesting to me . . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .

iPod shuffle clone introduced
LuxPro, a Taiwan-based maker of digital audio products, has introduced what can only be described as a blatant rip-off of Apple's iPod shuffle. LuxPro's "Super shuffle," which is being shown this week at the CeBIT conference in Germany, is nearly identical to the iPod shuffle in every way—from its form factor to its name and advertising.
Made from the same white plastic and featuring the same control pad as the iPod shuffle, the Super shuffle is also the exact length (3.3") and width (0.99") as the iPod shuffle. The flash memory-based Super shuffle is a little thicker (0.38") than the iPod shuffle (0.33"), but offers an FM tuner and voice recorder, which the Apple device lacks.
LuxPro's music player weighs in at the same as the iPod (.78 ounce), offers the same USB 2.0 connectivity and charging, and even copies the iPod shuffle's backside slider switch and battery light indicator. The Super shuffle boasts two slider switches, apparently one is needed for general use and one is needed for the extra FM and recording features. The LuxPro product offers MP3, WAV, and WMA support.
Like the iPod shuffle, the Super shuffle is offered only in 512MB and 1GB sizes, and works with both Windows and Mac OS X. Pricing and availability were not immediately available. However, German iPod site iPodLife has provided iLounge with a handful of photos of the device and its advertising at CeBIT, which show that LuxPro is not only cloning Apple's low-cost player, but is also replicating its well-known silhouette ads.
Click "Read more" for large photos of the Super shuffle and an Apple-like poster.

Apple has threatened to invade Taiwan if the self-governed island moves toward formal independence from the iPod Shuffle. The threat has become more real to many in Taiwan as Apple prepares to enact an anti-secession law that some analysts fear may provide Apple with a license to attack the island.

The codec chip inside is a Sigmatel (http://www.sigmatel.com) device, which already has an "on-chip" (i.e., built in) LCD driver AND an FM tuner. That is, the capability for an LCD and FM tuner are already in the ishuffle. You are already paying for it.
To get FM radio would be a minor modification to the existing product (also the LCD screen, as the LCD drivers are already there…)
Draw your own conclusions, but LCD and FM capability are already there, and you bought it. Apple has chosen not to use it, or perhaps will offer a new product with added features?

It may not matter what happens on the legal front, the market for black market DVD copies is bigger than the real thing. No surprise if the same thing happens with consumer electronics like MP3 players
Posted by Stujo on March 15, 2005 at 8:44 AM (CST)
First off this is just a bad bad BAD move. The only reason a company does this is to ride the brand rcongition of other companies. The ipod brand is world know and best selling. "it needs a tuner, they can make it better" stop your bitching and grow up. Apple is doing what sells PERIOD iriver and teh other boys have done every update save put a tuneable TV on there units and the shuffel in 3 months has about the same market share as any "one" other non apple mp3 player. This companny is looking to be confused for teh apple unit and piggy back on it's sales. Hell they could have made the same unit and pained it black if it was just about getting a better product on the market. These guy are dead wrong , just as e-machines was wrong back in the day for making the knock off imacs and the got sued into a buy out…Stand on your own and don't steal good ideas from others.

Re: Radio functionality in Apple products
Weasel - very good point there. However on the flip side, one could argue that it could BOOST sales. If people hear a song they like on the radio, they might want to check it out and buy it from the ITMS ;)
Posted by dottz on March 15, 2005 at 1:27 PM (CST)
Well, I'm glad to see this product. It'll show all the Apple lovers how much they're getting ripped off by Apple. I hate Apple products….I wish Apple would go bankrupt and show the non Wintel users how bad their coveted Macs really are.
As for this iPod clone, first, there won't be any lawsuits….the company's in Taiwan. Do you think they care about copyrights? Second, I'll bet they offer this product for half of what Apple charges, and rightfully so, since everything that Apple makes is overpriced and under powered.
Oh, and it's great to know that this new clone will do wav and mp3 files. You're better off signing up with Rhapsody and getting everything you can download for $10 a month, then, if you have the right software, copying all the songs to your hard drive for free.(well, okay, it does cost you $10 a month, but that gets you 900,000 songs)
I got their free 14 day trial, and so far, I've burned 6 CDs, and have over 100 songs. Not bad for free.
The heck with iTunes, get Rhaposody, and download and copy up to 900,000 songs for only $10 a month.
Oh, I have downloaded many iTunes in the past for free (one of their promotions), and changed them to non-copy protected wav files and copied them to CD's also. The heck with Apple's aac format…..with the right software, you can copy anything to wav or mp3 files.

I don't really care that this rip-off exists. It can only benefit the consumer as it will make Apple up the ante in terms of technology and design. Yes its lacks imagination copying the design and advertising… But counterfeit goods have been going for as long as companies have been charging over-inflated prices for goods…
And floridante…. I thought Jobbs had copied Xerox's OS in the first place?! Didn't they develop a mouse controlled OS which they showed to industry… Including The One True Jobbs?
Posted by Flakmunky on March 16, 2005 at 4:22 AM (CST)
I find it sad that some of the people here admire Luxpro for copying another company's creative work. Even for simple products like this, design and creativity requires an investment of resources. In fact, elegantly simple is often much harder to create. It requires time and energy.
We'll never know how many shuffle designs were rejected before Apple came up with the final shuffle design. Ditto for marketing. Apple spends tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on ad design and some weenie in Taiwan sits down with Photoshop and produces a nearly identical ad.
Then people here think it's just fabulous that some company in a country known for its lack of integrity in business, where people work for a fraction of what Apple has to pay its employees, is saving all the development costs and selling a cheaper near-clone. Are those people really too stupid to realize that without a company like Apple to copy, they wouldn't have any cool products? These companies are nothing more than parasites that suck the life out of their own hosts.

if there's a country more advance than USA, u can bet your ass that US will try everything to steal whatever they want. one thing to hate rip off compnay, another thing to bash other country as a whole. japan stared out copy other people stuff lloks where r they now, given time China will be like them. Also on what ground you said 'Pick up a shuffle and one of these knockoffs and tell me that even you couldn't tell the difference from feel alone of the latters inferiority.'
have u use one of this already?

itunes and wmp suk use real player (if you're willing 2 pay…) u can even sync your ipod with real player and serach your harddrive for music instead of adding music one-song-at-a-time. Just saying. And i think this copy of the ipod shuffle will be in a lawsuit…
Posted by ihavanipod in none on March 22, 2005 at 2:12 PM (CST)
while reading this article, I was listening to "take California" on my Ipod, and getting mad at this tiwan company.
The creators of this new "super shuffle" must be old enough to know electronics, but dissconnected enough from the world to know about Apple's past legal battles with "copycats".
That is almost as in your face to Apple, as "Lindows" is to Microsoft (note the L)

I have a question about the recipe "José Pizarro's Salt-Crusted Potatoes with Cilantro Mojo" from Genius Recipes. can you only use flaked sea salt (like maldon) or any sea salt is fine?
You can use any salt, but you'll want to vary the amount depending on how fine the salt is (and how much you like salt). For fine sea salt I might try half the amount.

Hedge fund manager Jeffrey Vinik has installed Hockey Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team he bought in February.
"He had all the characteristics I've talked about that I and the Lightning organization are looking for," Vinik, who runs Boston-based Vinik Asset Management, said at the press conference introducing Yzerman. "Leadership, integrity, hard work, loyalty and an intelligent, thoughtful approach to making decisions."
Yzerman, who won four Stanley Cups in a 23-year playing career with the Detroit Red Wings, returned the compliments to his new boss.
"With each conversation Jeff and I had, I liked his plan," Yzerman, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame last year, said. "In my opinion, I believe Jeff has a complete understanding of what has to be done here."
Vinik said Yzerman will have "full rein" in picking a coach and rebuilding the club, which won the Stanley Cup six years ago but has missed the playoffs in each of the past three seasons.
Yzerman spent the last four years as a vice president of the Red Wings. It is believed Vinik offered him a five-year deal that will make him among the highest-paid general managers in the National Hockey League.

:o I want. |
She's a beauty. And the new rear grip matches the stock foregrip perfectly. |
I'm dying to see how it's laid out on the inside though... |
My next project is a .68 cal 1887 in brass. look through the manual at the sight below. http://www.chiappafirearms.com/sites...l_1887_ENG.pdf http://www.paintballcity.org/images/Smiley/ex87.jpg |
SO... Stupid question... Did you chop the original stock, or generate a new one? If you made one, would you consider making another? I have one of the IAC/Norico clones and wouldn't mind a T2 style/pirate stock :) Ty |
I made a new one from the short unfinished blank. http://www.paintballcity.org/images/.../1887t2022.jpg http://www.paintballcity.org/images/.../1887t2023.jpg |
Where did you acquire the blank? It would be an interesting project to have a spare piece of two laying around for the 1887 :D Ty |
LOL, thanks for changing the thread title. I was racking my brain trying to figure out the T2 (CCM) connection all night. It makes much more sense now, I like it. :D |
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 01:34 PM. |

Richard Moulds is vice president of product management and strategy at Thales e-Security.
The Obama administration's cloud-first strategy is designed to lower IT costs and consolidate federal data centers through the adoption of cloud-based applications. The new policy requires agencies to identify three IT services that can be migrated to cloud computing applications.
However, many government organizations are rightfully concerned about the security of sensitive data, and creating a protected cloud environment is not easy. Generally, the adoption of a data-centric approach to security provides a strong starting point. Here are some strategies for applying data security and maintaining control.
1. Rely on cryptography to secure data in the cloud. Over time, cryptography has been proven to maintain confidentiality by rendering data unreadable to anyone unable to convert it back to its original state. That means if a data breach occurs, the data is useless to the attacker. The stolen data is only readable with the correct "key," the string of bits used for decryption.
When assessing cloud providers' security claims, it is crucial to remember the data classifications that will be sent and, therefore, the appropriate security criteria. The definition of what "secure" really means comes down to a number of factors, but at the top of the list will be the data's value, the impact its loss would have and the risk of it being attacked.
2. Determine who is responsible for protecting cloud data. Either the cloud provider has control over security or it doesn't. If the cloud provider does not take responsibility, then the government agency must encrypt the data internally, minimizing the impact of an attack by ensuring that only already-encrypted data is stored in the cloud. Because it can be difficult to manage encrypted data, that approach limits the operations that are performed in the cloud.
3. Take a proactive approach to key management. Central to the overall encryption security model is the question of who has key control and who has key access. For network-level or basic storage-level encryption, the keys may be owned and controlled by the cloud provider.
Keys will span multiple tenants, each of whom will have no control. A multilayer approach is a reliable level of protection but delivers nothing in terms of segregated protection. The only way to achieve isolation between tenants is to have keys dedicated to each while accounting for the fact that even these keys will probably be controlled or at least accessible to the cloud provider. That constitutes a potential insider threat, which is an unacceptable risk for many.
Some government users of cloud services might have no choice but to manage the keys within their own environment. That is important, because at the end of the day, it is the government that is held accountable for that protection.
4. Add another level of trustworthiness. Wherever encryption is deployed and whoever is responsible for key management, it is important to assess the trustworthiness of the systems. Although encryption algorithms are unbreakable, they are worthless if the keys can easily be stolen or misused. Government agencies have known this for years. To deliver necessary levels of assurance in the cloud, agencies must deploy tamper-resistant systems, such as hardware security models.
The cloud opens opportunities for government organizations to address seemingly conflicting goals — increased flexibility, capacity and responsiveness — while simultaneously lowering costs. Government agencies must evaluate their data security requirements and then identify the best security level. Strong cryptography provides protection for data and delivers strong segregation, and the wise use of key management provides the means to ensure control.

Follow-up: Have you done your part to fight the Left's war on Wisconsin and conservative women?
Tweet |
This week, I called your attention to the Left's ongoing war on Wisconsin's brave fiscal conservative leaders. Yesterday, the state's Government Accountability Board certified the recall elections against top GOP officials.
Please spread the word — and thanks to all of you have dug into your pockets to help the recall targets.
I published links in my newsletter to all of the recall targets' campaign donation pages and I'm doing it again here:
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald
The Wisconsin GOP will run protest candidates in all the races to ensure that primaries are held:
"The protest candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there is one clear date for the primary election and one clear date for the general election," said Stephan Thomas, the party's executive director.
He said the move was made because otherwise some or all of the general elections for state senators would happen the same day as the primary for governor – when Democrats flood to the polls to pick their candidate for governor.
John Nolte at Big Journalism challenges the liberal media silence on the vile, misogynist attacks against Lt. Gov. Kleefisch — which I first reported in January 2011. John notes:
Here's the mocking of the Lt. Governor's children:
"I love it that your kids have actually have to hear about what evil things you're doing. I hope they have to hear it every day. And I hope they come home right to you. And just because you're good looking — and she is — and just 'cuz you're cutes and I'm sure you got a precocious little daughter you put in little Jon Benet contests, and I'm sure you have a little jock son, and they come home and say 'Mommy, they're saying you're a witch.' You are a witch!"
The attack on the Kleefisch's children is quite intentional. We've seen the media do the same to Sarah Palin. The idea is to gut-punch the target, to attempt to make the price of staying in the public arena awful and toxic. The left's hope, obviously, is that the target will shrivel up and go away. Well, this evil tactic didn't work on Palin and I doubt it will on Kleefisch.
But where is the media on this?
AWOL, naturally, because Rebecca Kleefisch is an apostate — a self-made Republican woman who became the Lt. Governor of a swing state Barack Obama desperately needs to fall his way if he's to have four more years to be more, uhm, flexible.
The fact that this is a local matter is no excuse for the mainstream media covering it up, either. For over a year now, the state of Wisconsin has seen plenty of national media attention surrounding every twist and turn of these recall elections.
Badger Pundit and Brian Simka of Media Trackers add that many liberal journalists in Wisconsin continue to frequent the program of Kleefisch smear-monger and liberal radio talk show host "Sly" Sylvester:
Sly Sylvester is a guy that's respected not only by the Democratic establishment but by the mainstream media. John Nichols of the Capital Times is a regular contributor to his show. Dan Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel regularly goes on that show. None of these individuals has come out and condemned Sly Sylvester for comments that were reprehensible!
Like I've said before: Acknowledging the the war on conservative women would obliterate The Narrative.
Break the silence.
In related news, a federal judge ruled on Gov. Walker's union/budget reform law yesterday — upholding most of it, but striking down the compulsory union dues reforms. It will go to appeal
Walker considered Friday's ruling something of a victory. Cullen Werwie, Walker's spokesman, said the administration was still trying to figure out what the ruling meant in terms of increased costs to the state and enforcement, but felt the judge affirmed the constitutionality of nearly everything in Act 10.
"We are confident that the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will continue to uphold the constitutionality of the law," he said.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.14 / 5.00 4,074 ViewsThis is my final for my sophomore year of animation at KCAI. The idea for this came about a few years ago. I was doing a flash animation class over the summer with a friend. The teacher Bill wanted us to animate a fable. Instead of use an existing one, I made my own story. After that day I never went back to that class and never did any animation that summer either. The thought was still in my head and since I already had the story board laid out it made things a little easier. All of the animation in hand drawn frame by frame in flash with a wacom tablet. The camera movements and stuff was done using after effects CS3. The music is "To Our Surprise" from the Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack by Yoko Shimimura. All I ask is that you watch the whole thing, its only 1 minute, you can do it. Leave me any reviews you have and enjoy.
[EDIT] Holy Friggin Crap! Wow! The front page, this is so awesome! I hoped to get the front page before I graduate from KCAI but I didn't expect this one to do so well. Thanks everybody who voted and gave me great reviews.
Very nice
I disagree about it being karma, though. I mean, hey, an eagle needs to eat. It's him or the prey. But the airplane gets no benefit from sucking up the eagle. Awesome sound effects, animation, music. It was neat how it seemed to have this layered background, especially during the eagle's dive.
There is ONE thing it's missing though. BLOOD AND GORE! Otherwise a great flash!
I really liked the drawing style simplistic but very effective and the music suited the clip very well.
I couldn't see a fault with the movie keep up the good work i really enjoyed that
Flippin' sweet yo homey g-dog foshizzle mah nizzle
"It sucked me right in, loved the filter too it looked great.
I like this cartoon very much."
Haha. See, it's funny, because the eagle was sucked into the jet engine. Right? Right?! Was I the only one who thought that was extra punny?
I need to get laid. Awsome animation :D
