In Saint Petersburg, they are making a mega miniature of Russia which we mentioned about in one of our previous posts. It covers a lot of sides of Russian reality, and it's really worth seeing!
The Kaliningrad Region.
The miniature of the largest country in the world should be large as well. Its 800 m2 include houses, trains, cars, people, lanscapes and many other interesting things inherent in Russia. Besides, all of it is automated and lives its life. Here you will find alternation of day and night, running trains and people doing their job.
The miniature is still uncompleted and they let visitors in only on Saturdays and Sundays.
Its railway station.
Saint Petersburg.

Your Pop Alternative Source
"Some of the songs continue in the trajectory of the last Keane album, so 'Your Love' (which has touches of 'Early Winter') is quite electrical and 'Stop For A Minute' (featuring a rap from K'Naan who manages to rhyme 'females' with 'e-mails' thus putting this song on a level with Pixie Lott's 'Cry Me Out' in that respect and that respect alone) sits well alongside something like 'Spiralling'."

Bit Of A Blur by Alex James
I read this book when we were recording Perfect Symmetry in Berlin and I found it to be very, very funny and inspiring. Alex James is the bass player from Blur and I really liked the juxtaposition of his very throwaway gung-ho approach to being in Blur and living it up, against his more serious insight into the working process of a band. I actually found it very inspiring. He has some quite interesting ideas - one philosophy that he keeps…

Silvia McCollow
Silvia McCollow and her husband, Cory, own Nido, a farm to table Mexican restaurant. The inspiration for Silvia's approach to food was her father's farms in Nayarit, Mexico, where she worked every summer as a kid and her family's own urban garden in Los Angeles.
"You name it, my parents probably grew it. Limes, pomegranate, peppers, walnuts, and figs," she noted. "They never wasted a thing. My mother always found a way to use any leftover scrap from rind to root."

"I had Tina Bell clean my cats teeth and I couldn't believe how relaxed my cat was in her care. His teeth came out so beautiful and it was amazing how much better my breathsmelled."

K9 & Feline Teeth Cleaning provides affordable, portable anaesthetic free teeth cleaning for cats and dogs all around B.C. We also offer products that aid in the prevention of calculus & tartar buildup, and bad breath. Free brushing demonstrations for your pet are available on request.
Free Consultation
Bones and pet treats alone will not keep your pets teeth clean and healthy. Just like people, most domesticated pets need professional scaling, and polishing to keep their teeth in top condition. Horrible dog breath is often the result of gas given off by bacteria that lives in your pets mouth. The more bacteria your pet has in its mouth, the more severe the odor. Good oral hygiene care greatly increases the dreaded dog breath. Gum disease is a serious problem that can lead to even bigger problems

Abstract: This paper presents the implementation of a smart environment that employs Ambient Intelligence technologies in order to augment a typical hospital room with smart features that assist both patients and medical staff. In this environment various wireless and wired sensor technologies have been integrated, allowing the patient to control the environment and interact with the hospital facilities, while a clinically oriented interface allows for vital sign monitoring. The developed applications are presented both from a patient's and a doctor's perspective, offering different services depending on the user's role. The results of the evaluation process illustrate the need for such a service, leading to important conclusions about the usefulness and crucial role of AmI in health care.

Ikea's adjustable Bekant desk looks to bring you to your feet
As the abundance of standing desks to emerge this year would indicate, sitting on your butt all day is not all that good for your health.

Thanks to augmented reality, customers of the Swedish home furnishings giant can now try out select products in their homes with the help of a printed catalog, a mobile app and a smartphone or tablet.

A tragedy of modern times is the millions of refugees displaced by poverty, oppression, war and natural disaster. Most end up living in canvas tents of a basic design that are hot in summer, cold in winter, and only last about six months in constant use despite some refugees living in such tents for up to 12 years. On World Refugee Day in June, the Ikea Foundation unveiled a new flat-pack refugee shelter with a modular design and solar panel designed to help improve living conditions for refugees. Read More
Teaching a robot how to deal with real-world problems is a challenging task.

A robotics group led by Professor Sylvain Calinon at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is making progress in solving this problem. Read More

Summary: GNU File Utilities Name: fileutils Version: 3.16 Release: 1 Copyright: GPL Group: Utilities/File Source0: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/fileutils-3.16.tar.gz Source1: DIR_COLORS Patch: fileutils-3.16-mktime.patch %description These are the GNU file management utilities. It includes programs to copy, move, list, etc, files. The ls program in this package now incorporates color ls! %prep %setup %ifarch alpha %patch -p1 autoconf %endif %build configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" LDFLAGS=-s %install rm -f /usr/info/fileutils* make install gzip -9nf /usr/info/fileutils* . . . |
In the above example, fileutils has a patch for 64 bit machines. Obviously, this should only be applied on the Alpha at the moment. So, we add an %ifarch macro around the 64 bit patch like so:
%ifarch axp %patch1 -p1 %endif |
This will insure that the patch is not applied on any architecture except the alpha.
rpm --rebuild /usr/src/SRPMS/*.rpm |
and have the right packages build. If you haven't yet ported an application to a certain platform, all you have to do is add a line like:
ExcludeArch: alpha |
to the header of the spec file of the source package. Then rebuild the package on the platform that it does build on. You'll then have a source package that builds on an Intel and can easily be skipped on an Alpha.

Dear Sir
Standard & Poor's has a reputation to protect !.Rating agencies after 2008 have become really globalized institutions above Nations-Estates interests .Theirs released reports all those past decades WERE NOT supposeddly to ;deceive , to mislead , to cheat , to fool , to fake, to forge , to trick , to swindle , to defraud , to embezzle , to counterfeit , to humbug and especially to double-cross people in the International financial markets as some Countries are trying to do right now!.
Of course they can be wrong. But only in minor margins and surely theirs reports give a somewhat realistic picture of what is going on International investment markets under the present protocols of "Free Markets" .
Look up at the datum at last year (from the The economist Panel :"The debt clock" :

Thursday is Feature-Freeze for Ubuntu 9.10
Whoever wants their favorite features integrated into Karmic Koala will have to hurry. From Thursday, the impending Ubuntu will accept no more changes.
The feature freeze primarily concerns developers and maintainers of single packages. Any large changes will have to be made in the source code by Wednesday, latest, writes Steve Langasek on the Ubuntu Announce List. Package changes after the deadline will have to be filed as bugs in Launchpad.
The last few days before the freeze have seen Ubuntu developers buzzing about the Pidgin issue. The free instant messenger has been replaced by Empathy in the new Ubuntu 9.10.- a decision that has not pleased all Ubuntu users. The latest version of Pidgin now comes with web cam support, a feature that has always given Empathy the edge over Pidgin. So, until Thursday, there is still a slim chance that Pidgin may well remain the default IM client, with Empathy waiting eagerly in the wings.

text: So last week i had the maintenance man knock on my door at my apt. complex. lately me and my wife have been sleeping in the living room of my apartment. Anyway the maintenance guy knocks once on the door and yells "Maintenance!" while putting his key in the door and trying to get into my home. Heres the problem, my wife sleeps in the nude and i had to yell at this guy multiple times not to come into my apt. I also had to physically hold my front door shut while he was trying to force his way in. luckily my wife made it to our bedroom in time to get some clothes on. i do sleep with my carry gun right beside me and in kansas it is illegal to enter an apt. without at least some type of notice. Honestly i feel violated and like somebody might walk in on me at any time of the day. has anybody had something similar happen to them? if so, do you have any advice?

Weekend Link Love – Edition 289
Posted By Mark Sisson On March 30, 2014 @ 8:00 am In Weekend Link Love | 36 Comments
I'm excited to participate in a special eBook package built specifically for everything having to do with bodyweight training. As you well know, I'm a huge fan of bodyweight workouts, and the Bodyweight Bundle [7] represents the cream of the crop. Just $37 gets you 38 books from the masters of the field. The offer ends and the bundle won't be available after tomorrow, so grab it now if you're interested.
Episode #12 of The Primal Blueprint Podcast [8] is now live. I answer your questions and give a short preview of the upcoming Primal Blueprint Expert Certification program. If you haven't already subscribed on iTunes, do so now and you'll never miss an episode.
A recent systematic review [9] of the literature found that, in subjects with poor glucose tolerance, high-fat diets have more favorable effects on various cardiometabolic risk factors than low-fat diets.
Despite having lower BMIs and drinking less alcohol, vegetarians have [10] "poorer health (higher incidences of cancer, allergies, and mental health disorders), a higher need for health care, and poorer quality of life."
Organic milk is higher in omega-3s [11], and it may be enough to favorably impact the health of consumers.
Heated vegetable oils are, indeed, bad for you [12].
Dr. Briffa asks a simple question [13]: If statins are so safe, why aren't the researchers tasked with proving the drugs' safety offering up their raw data?
Why are doctors failing to prescribe [14] a highly-effective therapy for depression?
Kids are sports specialists these days [15], playing the same sports and doing the same repetitive movements on a daily basis, and it may be leading to an epidemic of ACL tears – and girls are at greater risk. The proposed solution is a "warm-up" that simulates "the movements that children used to do on playgrounds and in backyards." Or, you know, kids could just play on playgrounds and in backyards.
A nice piece from the Guardian [16]: "Why almost everything you've been told about unhealthy foods is wrong."
Glenn Beck appears to have gone effectively Primal [17].
This is really cool [18], but I gotta wonder about BPA.
It's true: happy workers are better workers [19].
Can't squat? Try pooping like a samurai [20].
Do endurance athletes have health problems [21] because of the food they eat to fuel the exercise, the endurance exercise itself, or both?
Mac users might get some use out of this screen-dimming Pomodoro timer called WorkBurst [22].
One year ago (Mar 31 – Apr 6)
Recumbo ergo sum…

Welcome! I know that feeling when it comes to health. My old job I just relyed on fast and cheap food. I didn't think about fresh foods. I was working full time (and then some) at a high stressful job for me. Even though I'd try to go on a diet it just didn't work. Since I left that job I've ate much better and I'm not so stressed anymore. Good luck on school! Change can be great!
Motivation is very hard. Trust me changing my diet and trying to keep it was very hard for me at first. Even then I've cut back on eating a lot. So my meals are smaller. I'm proud of myself. Slowly but surely I'm getting there. If you're having trouble, then just take baby steps. You'll make it! Just remember why you want to change and lose weight.
Good luck with everything!
Thanks for all the warm wishes and insight! I think one of the first things I'm going to try is doing something physical on my breaks from homework. Usually I turn on netflix or poke my head into the kitchen to see if I can scavenge for food. Remedying this sounds like a good baby step to conquer first, so we'll see how it goes.
I also went shopping today for grocery and bought more fruits and vegetables. I'm hoping to try making lighter meals that still taste good. Any suggestions or favorite healthier meals?

After years of being primarily a 1911 guy. I bought a Glock 23 sometime back, and have put a couple of hundred rounds through it. I decided it needed a lighter recoil spring (for starters).
So I removed 5 coils from the factory spring. Reassembled it and am very pleased with the results. I hope to replace the factory barrel with a Wilson very soon as well.
What mods have you done to improve the performance of your Glock?

Archos 7 Home Tablet
Affordable. Sleek, compact design. Android-based OS provides means scores of free apps. Built-in kickstand. User-adjustable EQ.
- Cons Poor screen sensitivity. On-screen typing is difficult. Music and video players could be improved.
Bottom Line
At $200, much can be forgiven of the Archos 7 Home Tablet, since it offers such a large touch screen, HD video, Web access, free apps, and a lot more. But make no mistake, with an unpolished interface and a less-than-responsive touch screen, there's a lot to forgive.
Leading the way with one of the first products to make it to market in the post-iPad tablet deluge, Archos presents its inexpensive, more-compact answer to the iPad: The Archos 7 Home Tablet ($199.99 direct;8GB). The 7-inch tablet runs an Android-based operating system that's as open as Apple's iPhone OS is controlled. The Archos 7 can be forgiven for its less-than-graceful user interface because of its low price tag, but the most glaring annoyancesan unpolished interface and a touch screen that lacks proper sensitivityprevent it from being a cure-all tablet.
At 4.2 by 8 by 0.5 inches and 13.7 ounces, the black plastic Archos 7 is manageable to hold while still offering a large, 7-inch, 800-by-480-pixel touch screen. It comes with a built-in kickstandsomething Apple should've implemented for the much larger, heavier iPad ($699, ). The kickstand makes it even easier to manage for video watching and other hands-free uses. Unfortunately, the aforementioned screen sensitivity, or lack thereof, makes the kickstand less useful when you need to type or select on-screen optionsa light tap doesn't always get the job done, and the kickstand doesn't provide sufficient resistance. The top panel of the Archos 7 houses the Power/Lock switch, a MicroSD card slot, and a charging indicator. On the right side of the device, there's a headphone jack, the AC adapter connection, and a USB port. On the front face are built-in speakers and a microphone. Included in the package: earphones (something you don't get with an iPad), a USB cable, and a power adapter. The most notable design omission: There's no accelerometer, so when you turn the tablet sideways you're looking at things, well, sideways. The Archos 7 connects to 802.11b and g Wi-Fi netowrks.
Features and Performance
Before we go any further, let's get one thing straight: If you love the iPhone OS and its App Store, you probably won't like the Android 1.5-based OS that the Archos 7 runs. Quite frankly, it lets everything through the door in terms of apps. For those who dream of an unlimitedand, more importantly, uneditedselection, this OS is the perfect antidote to the squeaky clean world of the Apple App Store. Just be prepared to dig through a seemingly endless pile of appssome of which are naughty and many of which are buggy or simply not optimized for the Archos 7. Personally, I can see the merit of each operating system, but I prefer the Apple ecosystem, which is controlled, yes, but runs more smoothly because of it. At least Archos lets you confine your search to only "approved" titles in its app store, AppsLib, which you can access right on the device. Also, an Archos rep assured me that the company tests various new apps for the Archos 7 approval process every day.
My primary issue with the Archos Android-based OS is redundancy. On the main screen, there are a variety of apps that are all customizable. The fact that the music sectionas well as video and photo sectionsare all considered independent players seems less useful than, say, having a music, video, and photo menu like many portable media playersand most Archos devices, like the 605 WiFi ($300, )have. If you select the Apps menu by dragging an arrow to the left on the main screen, you see all of your appsincluding the same ones that exist on the main screen's customizable desktop, which is otherwise dominated by a large Google search window that takes you directly into the tablet's browser. It's less confusing than it is pesky. It just adds more clutter. A more grave issue is that, surprisingly, the new player apps offer no real upgrade over the ones in existing Archos devices. Navigating artists or song selection can still be a counterintuitive process with superfluous steps and a touch screen that doesn't always do what you want it to. Compared with graceful touch-screen systems like Microsoft's Zune HD ($219.99 direct, ), the Archos 7's navigation can feel a bit low budget.
The virtual keyboard works intuitively but falls victim to the touch-screen's sensitivity issuesand that's too bad, considering how well the e-mail app works. You can set up multiple e-mail boxes, selecting one as your primary account. You can also choose how often, in increments of five minutes, you'd like to be notified about new mailan icon appears on the top border of the screen regardless of whether you are on the home screen, listening to music, or using the browser. But scrolling through the settings menu with downward finger swipes often means inadvertently selecting an option. The browser works intuitively, as well, but again, you should expect some level of annoyance when trying to type on the keyboard or select options on a Web page. Also, many of the sites you visit will default to watered-down mobile versionslike PCMag.com and ESPN.com. As with the iPad, there's no native support for Flash, so much of the Web's video content can't be watched on the Archos 7. It is easy, however, to resize a site to fit your screen with a simple tap of a button at the bottom of the touch display.
Syncing the device using Windows Media Player is a simple process, as is loading video or photo content on to the player. The process isn't as seamless as using iTunes or iPhoto with an iPad, but it's certainly not a headache. The user-adjustable EQ is something every media player or tablet should have, as are included earbuds. Sure, the earbuds don't sound great, but that's better than nothingwhich is what you get with the iPad. More importantly, though, video and photos looks sweet on the sharp, bright, high-res screen.
Archos has always offered robust file support and this tablet is no exception. For audio, it will play MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, OGG, FLAC, and AAC files; it can display JPEG, BMP, and GIF photo files, and play H.264 and MPEG-4 video files.
Archos estimates the battery life of the home tablet at 42 hours for music playback and 7 hours for video; we'll post our lab results here shortly.
If the glossy, edited world of the iPhone and iPad call out to you, you're unlikely to hear the call of the Archos 7 Home Tablet, which uses more of a "by-the-people" platformbut is it for the people? Only the ones who want every possible app at their fingertips, and are willing to sift through some stinkers. For $200, the Archos 7 is a fair dealbut don't say I didn't warn you about that finicky screen.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that police had taken the three suspects into custody on Monday.
Mr Lovern said a decision on whether they would be charged could be made as soon as Thursday.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Sagging is a manner of wearing trousers or jeans which sag so that the top of the trousers or jeans are significantly below the waist, sometimes revealing much of the underwear. Sagging is predominantly a male fashion. Women's wearing of low-rise jeans to reveal their G-string underwear (the "whale tail") is not generally described as sagging.[1]
A person wearing sagging trousers is sometimes called a "sagger".[2]
In some countries this practice is known as "low-riding". It has become popular since the popularity of wearing brightly colored and patterned "boxer shorts"[citation needed] or briefs and trunks.
According to Greg Mathis, sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are sometimes prohibited[3] to prevent prisoners from using them as weapons or committing suicide by hanging themselves.[4][5] The style was later popularized by hip-hop artists in the 1990s.[4] It later became a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness among some youths[6] or a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society.[7]
During the first decade of the 21st century, many North American local governments, school systems, transit agencies, and even airlines passed laws and regulations against the practice of wearing sagging pants, although no state or federal laws have been enacted banning the practice.[8] US presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking just before the 2008 US Presidential Election appeared on MTV and said that laws banning the practice of wearing low-slung pants that expose one's underwear were "a waste of time ... Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on. Some people might not want to see your underwear. I'm one of them."[9]
In June 2007 the Town Council of Delcambre, Louisiana, passed an indecent exposure ordinance, which prohibited intentionally wearing trousers in such a way as to show underwear.[10]
In March 2008 the Hahira, Georgia City Council passed a controversial clothing ordinance, in the name of public safety, that bans citizens from wearing pants with top below the waist that reveal skin or undergarments. The council was split 2–2, but the tie was broken by the mayor.[11]
Benetta Standly, statewide organizer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia stated, "In Atlanta, we see this as racial profiling ... It's going to target African-American male youths. There's a fear with people associating the way you dress with crimes being committed."[12] The interim police chief of Flint, Michigan ordered the arrest of saggers for disorderly conduct; however, as of August 2008[update], only warnings had been issued. The local chapter of the ACLU threatened legal action in response, saying that sagging did not violate the Flint disorderly conduct ordinance.[13]
Sagging clothing is a violation of some school dress codes,[14][15][16] and the prohibition has been supported in the court system.[17]
Two weeks after the "Pants on the Ground" video became popular thanks to American Idol (see below), a billboard campaign against the style of sagging pants was launched in the Dallas, Texas, area. The billboards feature Big Mama Joseph from the 1997 film Soul Food saying, "Pull 'Em Up!" and asks youngsters to "Keep it a secret!" The campaign is the brainchild of Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine R. Caraway, and uses advertising space donated by Clear Channel Outdoor.[18] Another billboard campaign against sagging pants was launched in Brooklyn by New York State Senator Eric Adams on March 28, 2010.[19] In May 2010 New York State Senate President Malcolm Smith used US$2,200 from his campaign fund to launch a similar campaign in Queens.[20]
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Japanese snowboarder Kazuhiro Kokubo was barred from participating in the opening ceremonies due to dressing sloppily, including a loosened tie, shirt hanging out, and sagging pants.[21]
In the fall of 2010 at Westside Middle School in Memphis, Tennessee, the policy on handling sagging pants is for students to pull them up or get "Urkeled", a reference to the character Steve Urkel of the 1990s television show Family Matters. In this practice, teachers would pull their pants up and attach them there using zip ties. Students would also have their photo taken and posted on a board in the hallway, for all of their classmates to see. In an interview with WMC-TV, Principal Bobby White stated that the general idea is to fight pop culture with pop culture.[22] One teacher at the school claimed to have "Urkeled" up to 80 students per week, although after five weeks students got the message, and the number dropped to 18.[23]
On November 23, 2010, Albany, Georgia passed a city ordinance that banned the wearing of pants or skirts with top more than three inches below the top of the hips, and imposed a fine of $25 for the first offense, increasing to up to $250 for subsequent offenses. By September 2011, City Attorney Nathan Davis reported that 187 citations had been issued and fines of $3,916 collected.[24]
On December 8, 2010, the city of Opa-locka, Florida voted unanimously on a $250 fine or 10 hours of community service for individuals who did not pull their pants up.[25]
In Fort Worth, Texas, the local transportation authority implemented a new policy in June 2011 that prohibited any passenger from boarding a bus while wearing sagging pants that exposes their underwear or buttocks. Signs were posted on buses saying, "Pull 'em up or find another ride", and one City Council member was looking for funds for a billboard campaign. The communications manager for the Fort Worth Transportation Authority said that on the first day the policy was enforced, 50 people were removed from buses for wearing improper pants. Some complained about the policy, but the overall response was positive.[6]
A new state law in Florida recently went into effect for the 2011-2012 school year banning the practice of sagging while at school. Pupils found in violation receive a verbal warning for the first offense, followed by parental notification by the principal for the second offense, which will require the parent to bring a change of clothing to school. Students would then face in-school suspension for subsequent violations.[26]
University of New Mexico football player Deshon Marman was removed from a U.S. Airways flight bound for Albuquerque, New Mexico for wearing sagging pants.[27] A few months later Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank, California for the same reason.[27]
In April 2012 Alabama County Circuit Judge John Bush sentenced 20-year-old LaMarcus Ramsey to three days in jail for appearing in court with sagging blue jeans that exposed his underwear, telling him, "You are in contempt of court because you showed your butt in court."[28]
On June 12, 2013, the Town Council of Wildwood, New Jersey, located on the Jersey Shore, voted unanimously to ban sagging pants from the town's boardwalk.[29]
Sagging has been ridiculed in music videos, first, in the 1996 song Back Pockets on the Floor performed by The Green Brothers of Highland Park, Michigan.[30] Another song in 2007 by Dewayne Brown of Dallas, Texas entitled Pull Your Pants Up has a similar message.[31] On January 13, 2010, "General" Larry Platt performed "Pants on the Ground" during auditions for the ninth season of American Idol in Atlanta, Georgia.[32] In 2012 a 9-year-old rapper named Amor "Lilman" Arteaga wrote a song titled "Pull Ya Pants Up," and made a music video with an appearance by Brooklyn president Marty Markowitz.[33]

Tapas of Stars: 5–Cinco is the first project in Berlin of Spain's Michelin-starred chef Paco Pérez (Enoteca, Miramar). The restaurant delights all five senses and also symbolizes the five handcrafted Spanish flavors of Pérez's culinary art with products, textures, aromas and tastes in a unique synthesis of sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty. His avant-garde Mediterranean menu builds a flavorful bridge between Spain and Germany with the oyster and caviar tartar for 45 euros or around $59 or the Iberian suckling pork 38 euros, or about $50. It features sea cucumbers, razor clams and oysters that he brings from the waters of Cape Creus in Spain, regional Berlin-Brandenburg specialties such as sweet water fish from Müritz Lake and Teltower turnips, plus seasonal tastes such as white asparagus or chanterelle mushrooms.
Meals prep can be observed through tinted glass under an overhead arrangement of copper pots and pans along with copper lamps by Tom Dixon.
"Diners are experiencing the meal and having a conversation about it because they are constantly being surprised with what they are eating," said Pérez.

I just got back from a CCW training course with a certified firearms instructor. The instructor made a point to explain the difference between "reciprocity" and "recognition." He told me that a state with reciprocity has agreed to honor all the rights to carry granted by the permitting state. The specific example he used was this:
This struck me as rather too good to be true, so I'm wondering if someone can please elucidate the exact details between "recognition" and "reciprocity," and either confirm or deny this quote.If you have a Utah CWP and travel to a state that has reciprocity with Utah such as NC, then you can carry concealed into a place that serves alcoholic beverages due to the reciprocity agreement, even though a native NC resident with a NC CWP cannot legally carry concealed in a place that serves alcoholic beverages. In contrast, in a state that only recognizes the Utah CWP you would still be subject to the local restrictions while visiting that state.

okay, Hal Jordan has the power of his ring that can generate and create anything by thoughts only, and he can also fly. he faces a fierce man made of sand, who can shift his shapes into anything, and as long as there is sand around him, he's litteraly invisible and can use it to grow infinitely in size or be as tiny as a sand molecule. how about millions of kilometers of sand for an example? the fight takes place in the middle of the sahara desert but this time Hal Jordan has a ring that never gets empty.
the winner is lucky to be alive.
. who would win this fight? and how?
- in my opinion, Sandman wins this one, the only way to beat him is by containing him and drop him into water or any liquid. i find it impossible to contain every piece of sand which Sandman is made off. but Hal Jordan isn't going to be defetated easily on this one. u decide it !!!!

May 20, 2012 | An okay speaker |
Review by
Bradley from Ames, IA
Good bass and midbass for a 6.5" speaker. The highs were somewhat harsh. This is even though I was running the speakers with an Alpine PDX-5. I ended up giving them away and getting Polk MM speakers instead - which were a big improvement in sq. But for the price the infinity's aren't a bad deal.

Review by
Robbyn from Philadelphia, PA
I have a Pacifica and the Infinity speakers manufactured for the car from the dealer which I thought I was getting when I ordered these, can not handle or compare to the sound quality, the power, and clarity that I miss in the ones I had replaced. The sound quality of these speakers are better than some others that I listened to prior to purchase. Unfortunately, one of them already sounds busted and I haven't had them a year yet.

Washington, DC— This week, Nevada Senator Harry Reid will be talking about his legislative priorities to help address the challenges facing Nevada, starting with the economy."The economy is facing some serious challenges and Nevadans are feeling the pinch. I will continue to leverage my position as the Senate Majority Leader to strengthen our state's economy and make Nevada an even better place to live and raise a family," said Reid. "During the new session I will work to help strengthen our economy, ensure that the budget addresses Nevada's needs, ensure tax fairness for those living in the Silver State, spur Nevada's renewable energy industry, create jobs, and provide tax relief for college tuition. I look forward to working with the president and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to implement solutions that revive our economy." Below are just some of the solutions Reid will push to strengthen the economy. Countering an Economic SlowdownReid will work with President Bush and members of Congress in both parties to develop legislation to strengthen the economy, largely by putting money into the hands of the middle class and those in greatest need.
Passing a Pro-Nevada BudgetReid will work for a fiscally responsible budget that addresses Nevada's needs and rejects anti-Nevada proposals, such as those relating to Yucca Mountain and the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act.
Tax Fairness for NevadansReid will continue to push for a permanent extension of the deduction for state and local sales taxes. This deduction expired on December 31, 2007. This is a matter of fairness for taxpayers in states, like Nevada, that do not have a state income tax. Investments in Nevada Clean Energy IndustryReid will continue to push for tax incentives to spur Nevada's growing renewable energy industry. Many of these incentives expire on December 31, 2008. Yucca Mountain LayoffsAs Nevada wins the fight against Yucca Mountain, Reid will work on solutions to put those who have lost their jobs at the proposed dump back to work by making Nevada the leader in renewable energy, which will also strengthen Nevada's rural communities. Tax Relief for College TuitionReid will continue to push for the extension of the deduction for college tuition. This $4,000 deduction ($2,000 for couples with incomes between $130,000 and $160,000) expired on December 31, 2007.
Fully Fund the Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes ProgramThis program provides critical funds to western counties for police, teachers, road construction and other essential services. Reid is committed to seeing this program fully funded.

The American obsession with food
An English professor examines America's 'gut-centricity.'
A Short History of the American Stomach
Author: Frederick Kaufman
Top TV celebrity chefs lick their fingers and glance coyly at the cameras even as they tantalize viewers with unattainable meals. The Food Network has 90 million enthusiastic viewers but if you ask Frederick Kaufman, professor of English at New York's City University, the shows are just another example of "gastroporn."
This is only one of the topics that Kaufman explores in his recent book, A Short History of the American Stomach. Although the current preoccupation with food seems to have reached a peak within the past 15 years, Kaufman makes the case that Americans have been obsessed with food ever since the Puritans stumbled off the Mayflower.
From the historical writings of Cotton Mather and William Alcott to the modern-day antics of on-air chefs, Kaufman dissects the country's fixation with its gut. His tastes are wide-ranging: eating contests at Coney Island, a lab genetically engineering Chesapeake Bay oysters, and an underground raw milk coven in New York.

History of the conflict between religion and science
by John William Draper
228 editions published between 1095 and 2012 in 7 languages and held by 3,099 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "The antagonism we witness between Religion and Science is the continuation of a struggle that commenced when Christianity began to attain political power. Can we exaggerate the importance of a contention in which every thoughtful person must take part whether he will or not? In a matter so solemn as that of religion, all men, whose temporal interests are not involved in existing institutions, earnestly desire to find the truth. What I have sought to do is, to present a clear and impartial statement of the views and acts of the two contending parties. In one sense I have tried to identify myself with each, so as to comprehend thoroughly their motives; but in another and higher sense I have endeavored to stand aloof, and relate with impartiality their actions. I therefore trust that those, who may be disposed to criticize this book, will bear in mind that its object is not to advocate the views and pretensions of either party, but to explain clearly, and without shrinking, those of both"--Preface.

History of the intellectual development of Europe
by John William Draper
171 editions published between 1861 and 2011 in 5 languages and held by 1,535 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "At the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Oxford in 1860, I read an abstract of the physiological argument contained in this work respecting the mental progress of Europe, reserving the historical evidence for subsequent publication. This volume contains that evidence. It is intended as the completion of my work on Human Physiology, in which man was treated of as an individual. In this he is considered in his social relation. But the reader will also find, I think, that it is a history of the progress of ideas and opinions from a point of view heretofore almost entirely neglected. There are two methods of dealing with philosophical questions--the literary and the scientific. Many things which in a purely literary treatment of the subject remain in the background, spontaneously assume a more striking position when their scientific relations are considered. It is the latter method that I have used. Social advancement is as completely under the control of natural law as is bodily growth. The life of an individual is a miniature of the life of a nation. These propositions it is the special object of this book to demonstrate. No one, I believe, has hitherto undertaken the labor of arranging the evidence offered by the intellectual history of Europe in accordance with physiological principles, so as to illustrate the orderly progress of civilization, or collected the facts furnished by other branches of science with a view of enabling us to recognize clearly the conditions under which that progress takes place. This philosophical deficiency I have endeavored in the following pages to supply. Seen thus through the medium of physiology, history presents a new aspect to us. We gain a more just and thorough appreciation of the thoughts and motives of men in successive ages of the world"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Human physiology, statistical and dynamical; or, The conditions and course of the life of man
by John William Draper
12 editions published between 1856 and 2011 in English and held by 186 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Two years ago the first edition of this work was published. Since that time several thousand copies have been disposed of; it has been introduced as a text-book in many of our medical schools, and has been very favorably received by the profession and the public. I have therefore felt it necessary to submit it to a careful examination, for the purpose of removing any errors it may contain, and improving it as far as its present form admits. In these corrections I have availed myself of many of the suggestions made in various reviews of the original work, and take this occasion to express my thanks for the consideration shown toward it both in America and Europe. To treat Physiology as a branch of Physical Science; to exclude from it all purely speculative doctrines and ideas, the relics of a philosophy (if such it can be called) which flourished in the Middle Ages, though now fast dying out, and from which the more advanced subjects of human knowledge, such as Astronomy and Chemistry, have long ago made themselves free-to do this, amounts, in reality, to a reorganization and reconstruction: a task of extreme difficulty, and for complete success demanding the conjoint labors of many philosophers and many physicians. To physicians I would earnestly address myself, in the hope of obtaining their continued aid and hearty patronage for every such attempt. I would ask them why it is that we never hear of empiricism in Natural Philosophy, Engineering, Astronomy? Is it not because the principles upon which those subjects rest have ceased to be speculative, and are restricted to the demonstrative, the experimental, the practical? In Philosophy, sects only arise while principles are uncertain; in Medicine, the quack only exists because there is a doubt. The practice of Medicine must rest on an exact Anatomy and a sound Physiology. As soon as it is brought to this, empiricism will disappear of itself; it will need no legal enactments, no ethical codes for its destruction. And for this reason, if there were no others, it is the bounden duty of every physician to encourage to the utmost within his own sphere of influence every attempt to realize such a state of things. The encouragement which has been given to this book I regard as a token that these principles are profoundly recognized by the medical profession of our country. In this work I have therefore endeavored to treat of man according to the methods accepted in Physical Science, but still of man as an individual only. Physiology, however, in its most general acceptation, has another department connected with problems of the highest interest. Man must be studied not merely in the individual, but also in the race. There is an analogy between his advance from infancy through childhood, youth, manhood, to old age, and his progress through the stages of civilization. In the whole range of human study there are no topics of greater importance, or more profound, than those dealt with in this second department or division. It is also capable of being treated in the same spirit and upon the same principles as the first"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
