STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates ROWAN COMPANIES PLC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ROWAN COMPANIES PLC (RDC) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- RDC's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 8.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.41, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 4.05 is very high and demonstrates very strong liquidity.
- In its most recent trading session, RDC has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Energy Equipment & Services industry. The net income has decreased by 8.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $54.07 million to $49.70 million.

Hi all... I am going to try to hit Owensboro for lunch on my upcoming trip. Curious as to whether I should do the buffet at Moonlite or order off the menu and hit some other places in town before I head out of town for I-65 and parts south. TIA...

Rossi 462, 6 shot, .357 can handle 38spl +P.
John Steinbeck: Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 638 Bodyguard yet. I think I've seen many other responses here to other threads that sing it's praises. I've always gotten nothing but positive responses when discussing CC with others and I say I have a 638 (Usual response: GREAT CC gun!). More power? How about a 640 or 649 or (the one I'm currently lusting over) M&P 340?
I carry a S&W Model 629 3" OWB. I have a 642 for pocket carry and a 696 for those times when I have to dress a little better. I'll only be called "Tiny" as a joke and I do dress around my guns.
Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
I carry a S&W 442. Love it.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
I carry the S&W 640. The weight is just fine. Front pocket, mica holster, +P Speer ammo. Take it to the range, shoot 100 rounds +,
.357 ammo works great. Carry all the time, one speed strip, and a Beretta .380 in the car. Works for me.
Pretty much any S&W J frame or a Taurus 85UL....I have and use both.
I carry a wheel gun daily in the field while surveying. For a long time I carried a Ruger Security Six, but the blue job really was showing some wear due to daily sweat. It was a great gun, although really too heavy considereing all the other equipment I had to carry all day. I traded it for something else (don't remember) and started carryinig a light weight Charter Arms...only for a short time. I just didn't like it and traded it for an old model Rossi M68 which was very dependable. The Rossi (pre-Taurus) was just o.k., but the last year it was showing signs of rust problems. I got tired of having to rub it down daily to clear the rust specks (due to 100 degree East Texas sweat) and finally broke down and replaced it with a real wheel gun. The S&W 637 has been on my want list for years, but I just could not seem to justify the price of the S&W for just a field gun. After looking at the years I have spent with all the others, I think I would have saved a lot of money by buying quality the first time around.
I had the trade fodder in hand when I went to the shop, and could have had either the 637 or 642. Either is a great choice, although I just prefer the SA capability for snakes.
I also like the Sp101 as a carry gun. It is just heavy enough to shoot magnums accurate but not to heavy to carry for me. It all depends on you I guess.
Not sure whether I'll carry it or not, but I just broke down and ordered me a Taurus 617b2. Bud's has them for 319 delivered this weekend and I've wanted one for more than a year now - just couldn't take it anymore!

There are principally two areas where you´ll find several restaurants, one is called Schlachte (next to the river Weser and next to downtown) and the other one is called Viertel. Both places offer several bars for the evening as well.
Half an hour of Bremen is another city called Bremerhaven where you can eat very good fish, for example in the "Schaufenster Fischereihafen". Just recently a new museum was opened there- it´s supposed to be incredible: http://klimahaus-bremerhaven.de/

In Germany it is easy to find something like what you are looking for. Seems that there are as many hotels and hostels as houses here sometimes. Because of that, it is easy to just look around until you find one you like rather than show up with a reservation to somewhere. Some of the nicest places (though simple) are the 10-room places that have been family run for years. They are typically nice, inexpensive and usually well located. If they have a kitchen (many do) than it is also your good place to eat. I would suggest if you have the time and are able (with baggage and all) to look around a bit for a place, do so.

In a scathing New York Times op-ed, Goldman Sachs executive Greg Smith announced that he was quitting his job after 12 years. You see, he only recently realized that the investment bank had lost its "spirit of humanity." Ah yes, Goldman Sachs and the "spirit of humanity." This is the place where we are all supposed to vomit.
The Daily Beast's Tunku Varadarajan asks: What?! "Did Smith just wake up from a fairyland?" Smith, you see, can no longer tolerate the moral turpitude that netted him at least $1 million a year for over ten years. So, with a cry from the heart, he must now cleanse himself to stay pure. He tells us that once upon a time Goldman Sachs, "wasn't just about making money." I do believe in fairy tales. I do, I do, I do! When he first got to Goldman it was all about integrity and humanitarianism you see. It's about "humility" and not about "being promoted to a position of influence." Mr. Smith is no Howard Beale. This is more like Darth Vader quits the Evil Empire.
He, of course, does not "know about any illegal behavior." And congressional insider trading wasn't "illegal" either was it. Heaven forbid ethics and law should merge. Screw the spirit of the law , just meet the letter. Dot the 'i' and cross the 't'. It disturbs him that the "muppets" are just another breed of sheep to fleece. After all integrity demands they have the integrity to fleece the sheep on behalf of the "muppets." This is a distinction with a real difference to him.Just in case we are the stupid cattle this privileged Stanford alum presumes we are Tunku Varadarajan provides a superb thumbnail summary of Goldman's conflicts, urging us to read Michael Maiello's review of William D. Cohan's Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World.
Mr. Smith doesn't know of any illegal behavior? Really? Let's spend a bit of time on what are arguably written admissions of illegal behavior. It's easy enough to vet that self-serving c/y/a statement. Smith admits that Goldman is a "toxic' environment in which "Absolutely, every day, in fact. ... people push ... and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client's goals." He admits, in writing, to a corporate culture in which Goldman employees do not do right by right by their clients and that they put making money above that duty.I can think of few more unequivocal admissions of "illegal behavior" and Smith's breathtaking statements are published in the New York Times no less. But there is more; however, first understand the legal duties here. Greg Smith and Goldman-Sachs are not selling used cars. They are fiduciaries.
Like doctors and lawyers, investment bankers are fiduciaries and a fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care imposed by equity or law. Fiduciaries are required to be extremely loyal to the 'muppets' the law calls their "principals" and they are not allowed to put their personal interests before that duty. Aside from law, equity (not like financial 'equity' in your home) also requires a stricter standard of behavior than tort law. Goldman, like all fiduciaries, has a duty not to be in a situation where personal interests and fiduciary duty conflict, or where their fiduciary duty conflicts with another fiduciary duty, and they have a duty not to profit from their fiduciary position without knowledge and consent of the not-fully informed 'muppet' who might not make the investment if he knew all the hustling pitchman knew. There should be no undisclosed conflict of interest. Fiduciaries must conduct themselves "at a level higher than that trodden by the crowd" and they are held to an overriding obligation of undivided loyalty. While precedents may be in conflict the fiduciary duty itself mandates that all such questions be resolved in the 'muppets' best interest not the hustler's.Understand, all this is precisely why hedge fund managers are exempt from certain disclosure requirements and held to lesser legal standards of care. Since they are dealing huge individual investments it's presumed their investors s are far more sophisticated— or so the argument goes. But we are not talking about hedge funds here.
As I said, it gets worse. Smith further admits the Goldman practice of "persuading ... clients to invest in the stocks or other products that we are trying to get rid of because they are not seen as having a lot of potential profit" and then he writes, "Call me old-fashioned, but I don't like selling my clients a product that is wrong for them." Whoa baby! Wait a minute! What an admission! Open mouth. Insert foot. Pull trigger. It seems to me that he didn't just shoot himself in the foot but put his foot in his mouth before he pulled the trigger. Selling clients a product that is "wrong for them" and admittedly "not seen as having a lot of potential profit," taken together with Mr. Smith's other statements, is not a trivial matter of not being old fashioned but arguably written admission of an ongoing pattern and practice of breaching fiduciary duties. Is this not the very definition of "illegal behavior"?It is precisely because Goldman employees are pushing, peddling and hustling complicated investments to clients who don't sufficiently understand them the law imposes a far more stringent a duty. They are not selling used cars. In a fiduciary relationship, the 'muppet' is in a position of vulnerability and justifiably vests confidence, good faith, reliance and trust in Goldman employees whose duty it is to aid, advise, and protect the principal cynically and disgustingly referred to as a mere 'muppet.' In such a relation good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times for the sole benefit and interest of the trusting and presumptively gullible 'muppet.'
But Greg Smith admits he looks around and sees virtually no trace of that culture at Goldman Sachs. Integrity is admittedly eroding and he doesn't know of any illegal behavior? Please. Pardon me but he arguably just admitted the contrary "in fact". He did so in writing and he published those admissions in the New York Times. So why is Greg Smith not arrested and prosecuted for the "illegal behavior" his published complaint arguably admits to? I like Greg Smith's face but I'm not sure which one to believe. It seems to me that this last hustle is actually a written confession.Smith pleads for us to treat him equitably as he washes his hands like a Wall Street Pontius Pilate; but those who seek equity must do equity. It seems to me that Mr. Smith pleads with unclean hands perhaps made filthy by sharing in the profits of alleged fraud and deceit during his tenure at The Great American Bubble Machine. Come on. Does he really think we fleeced sheep are so gullible as to buy this self-serving bill of goods too? Really? This is his contribution? One last hustle to peddle just for old times sake? Integrity? What, the disingenuous Rip van Winkle just woke up from his lavish slumber to realize how ill-gotten his decades of gains might be? Bad enough talk is this cheap but he wants a pat on the back to boot.
Come on. He's no scrape-and-claw grunt! But a Goldman Sachs executive. As Morris Berman points out in his bone-chilling diagnosis , at the center of the American character lies a "penchant for hustling." American English contains no less that two hundred nouns and verbs referring to a swindle. We are a nation of scrabblers and speculators. Everyone has got an angle. But beneath it is a "sordid reality" of a "ubiquitous sleeze that won't go away. This is a way of life with very high costs."The seeds of this nations "hustler culture" were sown from the very beginning and the rules that enabled the country's expansion have become instruments of our demise. Hustling, materialism, and the pursuit for personal gain without regard for its effects on others have been powerful forces in American culture since the first Pilgrims landed. In a letter to Ernest de Chambrol, June 9, 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote,
As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?
America, wrote Richard Hofstadter in The American Political Tradition, is a "democracy of cupidity." The classical republican ideal of republicanism meant subordination of private interest for public good, that free men realized their human potential in service to the commonwealth. The tradition of noblesse oblige. That ideal has been smashed on the rock of selfish individualism. The pursuit of naked self-interest is our social glue. As Berman reveals it, the manipulations of Goldman Sachs and others are the logical endpoint of the hustler culture. That Goldman and their ilk thrive in the wake of the disaster they wrought only proves that it's really too late: America is incapable of changing direction.Do you think this 'honorable man' will walk his talk and demonstrate 'good faith' by disgorging himself of any share in ill-gotten gains that brought so much suffering to so many millions? What's that you say? No? Aha. Just as I thought.
Perhaps the Wall Street bronze should not be a charging bull but a sated pig wallowing in a trough. After all, Wall Street was named for the wall built to keep the pigs out. On Manhattan Island, a long solid wall was constructed on the northern edge of the colony to control roaming herds of pigs. This area is now known as Wall Street. Unfortunately it now protects the pigs from those who might wish to occupy the space against porcine invaders. What a reversal. But let's not malign the poor pig which has already suffered too much hatred. To paraphrase the late Christopher Hitchens in "It's Everybody's Trough in Wonderland Pork,""The more one reflects on the nature of the national trough and its imagery, the more one wants to spring to the defense of the maligned pig ... Pigs have a fine ratio of brain-to-body weight, almost the equal of dolphins. They do, if left to themselves, know how to keep clean. They possess many intelligent and humorous faculties. Can the same be a said of, say, [Goldman Sachs investment bankers]? I rest my case."
Frankly, though I do admire his courage (or is it just a self-serving egotistical drama-queen exit?), after 12 years of sopping at the corporate trough I don't think Mr. Smith can tell on Goldman Sachs without also telling on himself. All of a sudden, after he gets his 12 years of glut, he's sick and tired of it and he's not going to take it any more. Sorry but Mr. Smith is playing the world's smallest violin.Roast pork anyone?

Posted September 12 2004 - 12:41 AM
I was feeling really curious about it with all this talk on here about it, and researching it and stuff, so I figured a first hand experience would help me understand the mystical, maniacal qualities of Datura. I had some seeds already dried, I use to grow the plants sometimes. I took ten of them, and crushed them up. Downed them with a cup of water and 2 am. By 3, I thought I wasn't feeling anything, til I got up to go pee. Took me about ten minutes to get there, and about 20 to remember why I was in the bathroom. I was really confused, and I had no short term memory at all. Anyway, made it to bed about 4, and went comatose until 5 this afternoon. I woke up in a daze, and had a very bad headache. I drank a few glasses of water, and took some tylenol, which didn't help my hed at all. Anyway, I went to work, and went about my day normally. I have felt very strange all day though. I keep feeling like there are people moving around me, but when I turn to see them, they are alwqays right out of my field of view. I hear strange noises, and feel very groggy. I still haven't much sense of time, where I am, what I am doing, anything. I feel like a floating stick in a pond. No short term memory at all. I came home tonite and started my comp, and then totally forgot about it and went outside and walked in circles around the house. I fianlly realized what I was doing, and I had my cell phone in my hand but no one was on it. I don't know if I thought I was talking to someone at some time or what, but I just ended up outside walking with my phone. I can't remember why or when. I feel so strange right now. I am having muscle pains in my joints and hands, and the hea still aches. I am constantly thirsty. Well anyway, I am gonna wait a few weeks and try this again with a few more seeds to see if I can get a stronger response. Oh yeah, I have no visual problems at all, except my eyes hurt bad. I can focus clearly though.
If i felt like that after a drug experience i would be concerned. I suggest you keep hydrated, clean out your system with some apple cider vinegar, and start using a good antioxident to help protect you from all those free radicals.

Datura can have very alarming effects which may appear to be strange or scary.
It all depends on the dosage.
A small amount of extract can bring on the effects quciker.
Noticable visible side effects include,
dryness of mouth
skin becoming dryer
eyes irritated
blurred vision
Mental side effects from higher doses can be severe and mentally harmful.
deranged thought changes
sounds visions
These effects can last days, i`ve experienced effects for 2 days from one tea made with just 2 leafs brewed in. Very powerful stuff.
I personally haven`t yet fully got over or understood the effects yet.
It can take ages
The trip seems so real, as real as day, me or you.
I find too many explorations with datura can be harmful to ones health, mainly mentally.
It can leave one feeling lost and weak for long periods of time.
It aint no small trip
Everything can seem in place but not be.
The trip comes on slowly but a strange uplifted kind of sensation can occur quick, not in any respect compared to extasy or amphetamines.
Everything seems normal so its difficult to tell when the trip starts and ends.
I put much empathsis into the bad bits because their really isn`t that much good bits.
It is unlike any other hallucinogenics in respect to its power and just a whole lot of not knowing, whereas one can sort of get use to LSD or mushrooms.
Their are no ways to describe the true effects, except it feels asif it is a portal to new dimensions which our normal minds cannot even begin to percieve.

His heart rate is hovering around 115 - 130 bpm and his mouth is coated with blood. He is shaking, agitated and in four points restraints (which he got out of and tried to pull the catheter out of his penis which would have resulted in severe injuries did he not get stopped in time). For the first nine hours of his 'high' we were in the dark about what could be the cause of this - ambulance drivers, fire chief, police all said it was drugs but the test results all came back negative - blood and urine samples negative. This all led the doctors to believe this was neurological and my nephew was taken for a CAT scan, where results still came back negative. We all feared the worst, brain damage, anuerism, etc. every terrifying thought came to mind. All family members were called in the middle of the night where we all rushed to the the Emergency room. We cried, worried and prayed - the younger children witnessed this chaos and won't soon forget.
If you want to try this drug, please consider what the effects of this on others will be...$20,000 hospital bill at least -ICU for days, CAT scan, Ambulance, Specialists - please take warning. We can't determine how much he took as a plant with four pods were found in his room. We still don't know if he will pull out okay or not. The doctors cannot say if there will be any long term effects. We are so worried.

that's because atropine/scopolamine (the chemicals responsible for how you felt) block the transmission of acetylcholine, your brain's neurotransmitters responsible for short-term memory and motor function (which I bet yours was shot)I was really confused, and I had no short term memory at all.
there's nothing euphoric about datura, and no insight to be gained.

Obviously from the effects you got- that shit is poisonous.
And you're thinking of taking more!!
Fucking crazy- I know a guy who took datura frequently, he's always in a daze- years after his experiments.
I'll try just about anything once- except datura- I have no burning desire to fuck up my mind- once you're crazy thats it- no coming back and you'll probably never remember what it was like before- just that things are now different.

If people are attempting or do sell jimson weeds, they probably would get a manslaughter charge for it. Where I am, if you have a lethal ammount of mushrooms or excstacy, you get manslaughter just for selling them or possessing more than the recreational ammount.
I love these urban legends. (Or bullshit deals pressed on idiots with no lawyer)
5 year old thread is 5 years old
OP is lucky as a mofucka' they survived, if you're stupid enough to play with datura, you work up with like matter from the same plant. Ie. take 2 seeds, take 3 seeds.... take however much (by weight) of plant matter from the SAME level on the plant... etc.
I've heard of 4 seeds (of stramonium I think) being average for a hellish experiance. Lucky as FUCK the op survived.
well, i thought id do the same , and test the datura i had, datura stramonium with the smaller white flowers , i ingested about 200seeds and felt bizarre for a short while and then fell asleep, i woke up in a complete delirium, i live alone and i believed that there was a couple sleeping in the other room, i could actually see them on the bed that was covered with cloths, the gurl and the guy. A few days before i tested the datura i watched a south park episode called a jersey thing ( i think?) and theres this strange lady/monster in the restaurant and the girl looked just like her, even worse, her face was glittery brown and she was very short, the guy was just laying there wth his pants off , and his whole body was gray blue as if he were dead, his penis was breaking into peices and i kept yelling at them to get out. I didnt want to touch them , they looked ill and disgusting, so i wore gloves and started getting the cloths that i believed wasnt mine and putting intoo bags and trhowing them out , the door open and going back and fort tto the room and yelling at them to get out or else i would call the police... hmm.... at one point, i got back to the room , and the girl had disapeared she would pop out of the balcony which joins both bedrooms, mine and the one they were in, and would run and trick me so i couldnt reach her and hit her with this big wooden stick, i finanly went back to the room , and started hitting on the guy ( which was actually just a bunch of cloths )... then i decided that i couldnt get them out so i decided to leave my appartment and get a friend, i got into the streets, around 10 am in the morning (ingestion was around 3-4am maybe 5) and started walking, i called my friend, several times, no answer, so i called him at home and told his mum to wake him up because i was in trouble, a few minuts later he called me and i explained the situation , he was aware that i had ingested datura seeds the night before , he eventually decided to get out of bed and pass by to check out what was going on , he told me to go back home until he got there. during my trip in the streets,, my friend, his name is Amen, would appear coming from any random street and i would talk to him , and then i would look soewhere else and he would suddenly disappear:confused:, i remember being very confused about him just disappearing , and i would go back and check if he hadnt stopped on the way, this happend several time, and yes i remember some guy asking me who i was talking to, hmm, i finaly got back home and went back into the room with the couple, and looked to the floor , there were some cloths and i saw huge orange leeches crawling on one of my shirts... the girl had completly disappeared only some parts of her body would appear from time to time from underneath the cloths and the guys arms were there but i couldnt see his face or his body parts anymore... my friend finaly arrived, checked the whole apartment, hugged me and told me everything would be ok, that i needed to rest, we went to bed and i kept talking to him in french while he doesnt speak a word of it , he napped next to me and i can remember i talked to my mum several times, and when i woke up from my nap, i was very confused about whether i had spoken to her or not, the conversations i had with Amen in the street, even though he wasnt there it was just my imagination , seemed so real , everything was very real, i have tested other psychedelic drugs before such as LSD and mushrooms, but they never got me tripping the way datura did, datura is delirium , pure and simple delirium, u know when ur halucinating, but this time , i thought it was real, once i realized it all wasnt real , i freaked out, i was scared i might lose my mind or become schizophrenic due to this trip, my first bad trip and it reminded me of an advice i would give any one wo wanted to try psychadelic drugs or any drugs for that matter, never be alone , and always be accompanied by someone that is sober and that can bring you back to reality. that trip was about 2-3 weeks ago, and i will never forget, till now im still scared of going back in the other room. When i described to Amen what the couple looked like , he freaked out , he is a muslim ( I live in Egypt) and apparently, djinns, which are some type of evil ghosts have gray bluish skiin, and he is pretty well experienced with drugs and believes that some drugs can sometimes open the mind and widen perception, or vision, or whatever u may want to call it, ... datura had been on my mind for 6 years now , first time i found it i was 18? i think , and i was scared of its effects heard a lot of stories about it , most of them were very strange. I think as a drug it has a lot of potential , but it shouldnt be misused, in the sense that you have to try it and know what you are getting into, expect delirium, complete delirium, have a few free days infront of you in case, and always have someone with u, i am not an expert but from what i have experienced and from the little knowlege i have, i believe it can be used for many different things, as long as you have a target while doing it , such as a spiritual quest, during a party a very long party , but i would advise most people not to do it, health wise it is dangerous, no playing around, i believe i ws very lucky, and it messes with your mind, during and after, so take care, i dont thnk ill ever try it again,...
cheers , Sarah
Yeah.... I don't think you did take 200 seeds.... Maybe 200 MGS, but not datura.

And yes imagine what the E.R. visit would cost today! You're looking at $5-7,000 just for the ER and they would probably have to keep you under observation as an in-patient for at least a day.
The long-term effects? Who knows. As some have said you are never the same, but not in a good way.
Remember this folks, your brain is NOT permanently wired. All sorts of traumatic shit can rewire your brain, change your personality, affect your perceptions and emotions. Good ol' datura can do that for you overnight and you become someone else entirely.
Again, there ain't anything good to say about Datura.

In March, the Heartland Institute, which which says its "mission is to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems," will hold its second annual International Conference on Climate Change in New York. Speakers there, says the Institute's website, will be "calling attention to new research that contradicts claims that Earth's moderate warming during the 20th Century primarily was man-made and has reached crisis proportions." Find more HERE. In today's Guardian of London, Leo Hickman gives them a hard time. He points out that the registration fee is $720 — but you get a 20 percent discount if you've signed the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine's Global Warming Petition, part of which reads: "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth." "So, let me get this straight," writes Hickman. "If you say you believe in what they believe you will earn yourself a reward worth $144? Is this how climate change scepticism works? This must come as something of a let down for those that cling onto the notion that climate change scepticism offers a rare sanctuary for free thinking."

Ships Within 24 Hours Sellout Risk: Extremely High
We debated names for what referenced a group of friends on the hill lapping the park. Steele thought we should animate the title with an exclamation point. I agreed. The feeling of the cap was light and snappy, almost weightless. The vibe was young and fun. We edged our way through the latter part of our test day just as the sun caught only the ramps of the jumps up on Kings. I'll never forget dropping in seeing those pink lips.

ABC News' Shushannah Walshe (@shushwalshe) reports:
Alec Baldwin, the 53-year-old actor that stars in NBC's "30 Rock," seems serious about a future career in politics and it looks like he has the New York City mayor's office in his sights, but don't count him in for 2013.
Baldwin told the New York Times that he's heading back to school to learn about politics after he's finished his commitment to the NBC show, but that he would "consider other positions."
Baldwin told the Times he's interested in enrolling in a master's program in politics and government to help him "better understand what the fiscal imperatives of that job are."
So what do New York City politicos think of the Long Island native's ambitions? Hank Sheinkopf, a longtime New York Democratic political consultant, said, "Warning people you are coming into politics is not the way you get things done.
"Two days in politics is 50 years in anything else. He wants to run in 2017, but there may not be a place for him," Sheinkopf said. "All politics is present tense, not past tense, not future tense."
"Politicians don't listen to actors, they only listen to politicians who become actors."
What about New Yorkers? "They know Alec Baldwin on '30 Rock.' They think he lives there," Sheinkopf said. "He needs to make himself a candidate, become fluent on issues, get out to the outer boroughs. Manhattan is a different planet," Sheinkopf said. "No one will remember he wants to run. In 2013, when the bells go up, and the horses are crossing the finishing line in June, no one is going to be shaking in their boots saying, Alec Baldwin may challenge me in 2017. They are saying, I'm going to win and stay here for eight years, but there may be other ways for him to serve."
The other side of the aisle was somewhat more charitable to Baldwin. Marco De Sena, a New York Republican consultant and an Assembly candidate in Queens, said he likes the "pro-growth, pro-capitalism" message Baldwin champions, referring to past statements the actor made about New York City's tax rate.
"I tend to be the more the merrier, and so I say more power to him if he wants to do it," De Sena said.
But, said De Sena, after the glowing endorsement, "he doesn't know the issues, he doesn't know the people. It's going to be a steep uphill climb to do so. The only thing he's got is he's famous. He's civic-minded, as are a lot of people. But the only reason people know him is because he's rich and famous," De Sena said.
"Of course, as a Republican anything that brings another Democrat into the mix and allows them to battle it out until the general election is great, especially someone with a lot of lot of baggage, which he does."
Baldwin also told the New York Times that it helped him to live on the Upper West Side, which he described as more of a "middle class" community.
"It is more real," he told The Times. "There's old people, it's ethnic and it's economically mixed. … I am more comfortable living where it seems more middle-class, and I have lived there deliberately."
The New York Post reported Baldwin was selling his $9.5 million Upper West Side apartment to move downtown with his girlfriend.
Andrew Moesel, another New York Democratic consultant, said he would counsel Baldwin to "appeal to middle-class voters and also minority voters."
"The Upper West Side does have a wide range of economic backgrounds. There are young people, middle-class, minorities," Moesel said. "However, I think the way he phrased that he has a long way to go to before he has an ear for political commentary."
In the end, though, Moesel urged Baldwin to go for it.
"I'm in favor of a diverse pool of candidates coming from different backgrounds, so I would urge him to continue to explore the run."
Baldwin declined to be interviewed for this story.

Hello all.
I am a follower of the "use your rights or lose your rights" school of thought.
I carry pretty much everywhere during my daily activities, thanks to our local Sheriff, only leaving it locked in the car during working hours (strict no weapon policy where I work).
While I generally prefer to maintain a low profile in town by concealing, for most outdoor activities (fishing, hiking, horseback riding, etc..) I open carry. I have never had a problem with this in my local area. If someone even notices, the usual comments are along the lines of "What are you carrying there?" or "That's a good idea. I didn't know you could do that here."
I have never had an issue while out and about where I considered drawing, and I hope I never do. I am, however, too attached to my friends, family and myself to trust our protection to someone else, so I will continue to go armed.
If anyone is keeping track or interested in personal bio stuff, I am a 28 year old male. I have had my CHP since I was 23. What I carry changes based on what I have been shooting the most.

Clough: Tyson ready to face Forest
Nigel Clough is ready to start Nathan Tyson against his former club on Sunday.
Having struggled with a groin injury since leaving the City Ground for Pride Park in the summer the striker inspired a Rams fightback at Barnsley on Tuesday when appearing as a substitute.
"He looked strong physically and a threat and it just highlighted what we have missed in the first half of the season," said Clough, quoted in the Derby Telegraph.
"It was a big boost towards Sunday's game.
"Nathan is getting close to a start."

Carl Wayne Buntion fatally shot Houston cop more than 20 years ago
Houston — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; defense lawyers for Carl Wayne Buntion on Monday implored jurors to spare the convicted cop killer's life because he has not caused any trouble since he was arrested for the 1990 shooting.
Buntion has spent the past 22 years on death row. To read more on court proceedings, head to The Houston Chronicle's website: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Jury-deliberating-death-penalty-in-1990-police-3383018.php [1]

"A pair of moto-inspired jeans is the easiest way to toughen up your go-to denim wardrobe and these pre-distressed ones from Balmain capture the wear and tear you'd get after months of riding, without ever having to get on a bike. The key is wearing them with classic menswear pieces, like the cable knit sweater, shirt, and tie shown on Big Sean in our October issue, to put a subversive spin on traditional fall dressing."

An Industry That's Leaving Billions of Dollars on the Table
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I have yet another way the music industrial complex can dig itself out of the 1990s. And it has nothing to do with making amends with the evildoers who front Internet radio outlets around the world.
Last month in an article titled "Forget Apple (AAPL) and Pandora (P - Get Report), Google (GOOG) Can Change the Music Industry," I wrote about my experience live streaming an entire Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band concert, in mostly high quality, for free, from Rio via YouTube.
I wondered if anybody formalized -- as in, monetized -- the process of broadcasting concerts live over the Internet. If not, it's ripe for Google's picking. It could, however, also make sense for Google to stay focused on its core business, let somebody else do the legwork, facilitate the process and collect a share of the attendant advertising dollars.
That might be exactly what's happening.
You might think a record label such as Sony (SNE - Get Report) subsidiary Sony Music Entertainment would be all over something like this. They have the artists and surely could put together the platform or work a deal with Google to stream their acts' tours. But no . . . as is the often the case in the barely breathing music industry, it's a fledgling startup left to get the real work done. Leafing through VentureBeat the other day I stumbled upon a UK company called LoveLive:LoveLive's purpose is to help music artists make more money ... More specifically, LoveLive helps record and distribute live performances from musicians. It also helps copyright holders monetize those performances through paid sponsorships from major brands, charging pay-per-view fees to fans who want to see the live stream, and managing distribution channels like YouTube and Vevo. The startup processes over 400 live performances per year from several well-known artists, such as Madonna, Ellie Goulding, and many others. Some of the brands it has worked with include HP, Ford, and Nike.Nothing short of brilliant, which is why LoveLive just scored another round of funding. The idea of live streaming concerts is nothing short of a money maker. For outlets such as Google and Vevo. But, most importantly, for artists of all scales and sizes and a music industrial complex too hyper-focused on the always has been, always will be dead end of royalties to use modern technology and changing consumer habits to its advantage. Think about it. You're a big Springsteen fan. Or Taylor Swift. Or whomever. There's a world tour. You go to a handful of shows. Imagine being able to live stream any show on the tour you like -- multiple shows on the tour -- for $2.99 or $4.95 or whatever a pop. Imagine being able to pay a monthly fee for unlimited streams of an artist or a handful artists on tour. The possibilities are endless. But, hey, it's probably better for the record labels to continue their vendetta against Internet radio, enlisting musicians and bias news outlets in a disingenuous fight. Or probably not. Royalties are not the only source of income for the people who make, perform and distribute music. Moreover, companies like Pandora did not come along and break a royalty structure that had been working. It's always been broken. All Pandora did, along with other digital pioneers such as YouTube, is come along and increase the potential for exposure and new lines of revenue fiftyfold. As annoying as it is to see big companies such as Sony miss the obvious way forward, it's probably best they stay out of it. I'd much rather witness savvy startups take control of these new and exciting areas. The established players would most likely come in and muck things up.

Also, before that happened Spoiler for railgun s episode 4:
AC still can't truly model a brain (NO NT ALLOWED!) so they can't actually make them smart enough to learn quickly. Another good explanation instead of not being to make a brain is that being able to make a brain would be VERY COSTLY and would probably TAKE ALOT of ASSETS so they would rather have cheap experimental lab-rats instead that are only 1800 yen. I hope that explains why they aren't that smart. |

NO. A Level 5 Uiharu CANNOT defeat Accelerator. Just because something is of high temperature doesnt mean that it is hot. ie Temperature ≠ how hot or cold something is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXT012us9ng The temperature (scalar) itself doesnt hurt, the heat flux (vector) does. Also, There are no such things as SCALAR attacks (at least on the science side). If you think of a scalar as something that holds information, then there is always a paired vector to transfer that information on to other objects. Because of the above, that Accelerator's power is control over something so fundamental and paired with the fact that he technically is Academy City's smartest honour student; these are the very reasons why he is nigh invincible on the Science side of things. Not undefeatable though if you know what to exploit and have the appropriate ability (see my earlier post). However, Mikoto does not have either of these points so she cannot win, especially in her mental state. Gravity is not a vector, it is a force. Acceleration due to gravity IS a vector. Accelerator needs to manually let it affect him. Espers who can control gravity itself on a macro scale are IMPOSSIBLE under the Academy City Curriculum. So please do not think up a theoretical Academy City gravity esper to combat Accelerator. The graviton bomber could only move gravitons on a micro scale so he is allowed. There are technical reasons as to why this is but it is one the main focuses in the latest novels. So not in this thread.

Beat accelerator isn't hard by any means, it just requires more resources and exposure then Misaka can afford, or even consider.
It's simple, you don't fight a strong force with a stronger force, you fight the the ability he has to maintain a stronger force, i.e. his human side. Stamina. After all Misaka herself experienced near defeat from simply prolong active combat of hit and run sneak attacks. Misaka imouto had the right idea of destroying all the oxygen in the area, but it could have easily take a gorilla approach, and slowly drain accelerator out due to mental and physical stress. Of course it would get the whole city involved and who knows how tricky it is to maintain such a large siege on accelerator. |

Just wondering, as indirect force that does not cause direct contact seems to work on Accelerator, would a Cryo-Kineticist (one who controls the cold) snap freezing the air around Accelerator andturning him Into a human Popsicle without hitting him work?

Accelerator was bathing his feet in lava, if the heat it created didin't kill him I fail to see how cold could harm him in any way.

But the cold affect people because the difference in temperature make us loses heat. Accelerator is likely able to stop the heat from escaping his body. It may be a problem if he stays in the cold for too long.

Netflix's House of Cards
NFLX data by YCharts
Netflix is serious about adding more original content in 2014, with the company noting during the third-quarter it expects to "double our investment in original content (though still representing less than 10% of our overall global content expense)," according to Netflix's shareholder letter. Aside from House of Cards, there will be the second seasons of Orange is the New Black, Derek and Hemlock Grove and the recently announced project from Todd and Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman, the creators of Damages. Netflix is also teaming up with Dreamworks Animation
(DWA) to unveil a new animated series.
With the addition of more original content, Netflix's spending is likely to go up, not including the near $6 billion in off balance sheet liabilities the company has. Content deals are getting increasingly more expensive for Netflix, and the company's free cash flow is going more toward spending, hurting the company's future profitability, Pachter wrote in his report.
As Netflix expands its services to other parts of the world, including Latin America, Europe and Canada, free cash flow is likely to be negatively impacted in the short-term, but over time, may wind up benefiting the company greatly. Netflix added 1.4 million international subscribers, led by expansion into the Nordics and the Netherlands.
Hargreaves notes the momentum is likely to continue in those regions, as well as the U.K. and Ireland, due to incremental "likes" on Netflix's Facebook pages for those regions. "While it is unlikely that incremental Facebook 'likes' will correlate directly to net subscriber additions in their respective geographies, we consider it to be a positive indicator of Netflix's brand attraction in each geography, which should translate into subscriber growth."
As of the end of the third-quarter, Netflix had 9.4 million international streaming subscribers.
Aside from concerns about streaming subscribers and profitability, Netflix faces the major issue of net neutrality.
Recently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently allowed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to charge variable pricing to businesses and individual depending on the amount of data consumed. Netflix accounts for a disproportionate amount of online data, and could have its margins affected, should the net neutrality ruling ultimately be the law of the land.
Wedbush's Pachter noted Netflix's EBITDA could be cut by more than half, if it decides not to pass on the potential added costs incurred by net neutrality. "If it decides to absorb these fees, we estimate net income per user could decline by $1.00 per month, or $360 million per year, two-thirds of 2014 consensus EBITDA."
Whatever the issue may be, whether it's net neutrality, increased spending to add more subscribers, or increased content spending, Netflix shares are not likely to have a repeat performance of 2013. Investors may want to look at shares at much (mid-$200s) lower levels, where the upside is more prevalent, notes Pacific Crests' Hargreaves. "We continue to view Netflix as the leading non-live video distribution platform of the next decade and expect strong fundamentals for the foreseeable future. However, we believe NFLX prices in aggressive assumptions about long-term subscriber growth that leave little room for upside from current levels and create a slightly negative near-term risk/reward."

Ephemeral though the dock may look, in reality it couldn't be sturdier. General contractor Rusty Signor built its steel frame atop steel piles drilled into the lake. A wall of steel tubes spaced 1½ inches apart lets in light and air, and the ipé deck atop the building gives the clients a place to sit and relax after a day of boating. A subcontractor who specializes in tensile structures installed the waterproof canopy between precisely placed steel masts. "The canopy is similar to sail fabric," says Miró. "It's very durable, mold resistant, and stable in both directions." The entire project took just a day and a half to build, but it will provide its owners with years of enjoyment. "I want to be in there," said a judge enviously. He's not the only one who feels that way; Miró and Rivera are currently working on another boat dock, this time for the owner's brother.
