Prometheus in chains
My life
is not done yet, to resign and surrender,
to the unexplained wonders and myths
untold, let me conquer this titanic strife;
I don't wanna be a devil`s pride.
Am I nourishing an evil spirit, Or deaf
to some celestial hymns? but
I have found these ideals
Hideous and hectic, that
echo in-man's holy shrines.
Time and space has taught me well
how to cope these enchanting spells.
This ever changing life fair.
How could I frame my Will In those
old divine spells? After knowing
the truth and all wise sayings.
Is it fair to lame my inventive brain?
Isn`t it a weary pain to embrace
such fairy tales? Then...
Let your Prometheus unchained.

Apt charachter to draw on, seeing as he was wrongly imprisoned for helping human beings claim knowledge to escape from ignorance. We are all Prometheusus bounded to a rock chained by a god called society which seeks to claim us as a target for speaking and acting our hearts true song. Be free to express your beliefs no matter how far it disregards convention. failing not to question is the sign of self defeat. Great write. (Report) Reply

Time and space has taught me well
How to cope and care
This ever changing life affair The agony of Prometheus is that he is not time bound, and his ability to heal of the wounds inflicted by the birds from Zeus. Also he has the foreknowledge of what would happen to him if he steals the fire for man, yet could not change it, he could not even help helping man.
Nice read...keep it up (Report) Reply

Woods has work to do after disappointing Dubai
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The flashes of brilliance at the Dubai Desert Classic didn't blind Tiger Woods to the signs that his new swing remains a work in progress.
Even so, Woods has no doubt about his future after stumbling in the final round Sunday, shooting a 3-over 75 to finish seven shots behind winner Alvaro Quiros in a tie for 20th.
"I feel like I can still win golf tournaments," Woods said. "I'm not that old. I've still got some years ahead of me."
Woods drew cheers Thursday when he hit a 3-wood 250 yards to the 18th green for an eagle. But he had trouble finding the fairway for much of the week in Dubai, his putter ran hot and cold, and his once-dangerous short game continued to let him down.
Woods started the final round a shot behind, but opened with two bogeys on his first three holes. He came back with birdies on Nos. 6 and 11, but followed that with a bogeys on Nos. 12 and 14, and then a double bogey on the last.
Woods, who won in Dubai in 2006 and 2008, has now gone 16 tournaments and 15 months without a victory after previously winning 14 majors and 82 tournaments.
"Yeah, very frustrating," Woods said of his final round. "I got off to such a poor start, I was 2 over through three early and just couldn't make it up from there."
Quiros shot a 68, surviving a wild round that included a hole-in-one and a triple bogey to finish at 11-under 277, one stroke ahead of Anders Hansen of Denmark (70) and James Kingston of South Africa (67).
Woods opened with a 71, moved into contention Friday with a 66, and survived windy conditions Saturday for a 72 that put him in position for his first victory since the Australian Masters in November 2009. He just couldn't keep the momentum going Sunday in a final round that exposed the problems with his swing.
On the second, he drove over the green and then chipped past the hole, leading to his first bogey. On the third, he yelled at several photographers for disturbing his swing after his approach went left.
But the No. 3-ranked Woods also showed signs that the work he has been doing on his swing with coach Sean Foley is paying dividends. He hit a 160-yard approach to within a few feet of the pin for a birdie on the sixth and then on the par-3 11th hit a tee shot that settled a few feet away from the flag for an easy birdie.
Woods said he just needed "more work and more practice."
"As I said when I came in this week, I hit the ball pure, and that's the thing," he said. "When the wind blows, I have to shape shots and hit shots differently and all my old feels are kind of out the window. That's the thing about making changes. As I said, I've been through this before with my last two instructors and it will come around."

I know. This whole "the media ignores important substantive issues and focuses only on trivial nonsense"-theme is old and tired, but sometimes the contrast between what ought to be getting attention and what's getting all the attention is so overwhelmingly stark that it begs to be commented on.
Elected officials have been doing terrible, despicable things throughout history. Even if we focus on just the last ten years, we can point to politicians who have done things as awful as secretly torturing prisoners, stripping citizens of their rights and civil liberties, collaborating with health insurance and pharmaceutical companies to kill legislation that would save lives, taking food off the table of poor families in order to give tax-cuts to corporations, deliberately obstructing an economic recovery just to hurt a president's chances of re-election, encouraging foreign leaders to enact violently anti-gay policies, starting unnecessary wars to make private contractors richer, and on and on. Every single day, hundreds if not thousands of politicians at various levels of government across the country do horrible, downright evil things.
But one guy sends some dirty pictures to women who aren't his wife, and that is unacceptable. Torture whoever you like, start as many wars based on phony justifications as you want, take as much money from corporations in exchange for hurting the poor as your heart desires, but flirt with girls on Twitter and you are done, sir!
This week, the whole absurd fiasco over Congressman Weiner's wiener (much of which I admit he brought on himself by handling it so poorly) completely overshadowed a story involving not just a faaaar more egregious crime than being a bit of a pervert, but also something far more important with far more real-life consequences for the American people.
Politico reported that our old friends the Koch brothers (oil-industry billionaires), through their Tea Party front-group Americans for Prosperity, is launching a nation-wide campaign to blame high gas prices on President Obama. It's his excessive zeal for environmental protection, they say, his draconian over-regulation of the oil industry, that's responsible for the high prices at the pump. The only solution? Drill for more oil, obviously.
Never mind that Obama's record on environmental protection is virtually non-existent. He not only did agree to open up more territory for oil drilling, but even after imposing a perfectly sensible moratorium on drilling after the BP disaster, he's recently begun handing out new drilling permits in spite of the fact that the problems which caused that disaster haven't been fixed. Obama's refusal to "drill baby drill", as any sane observer would be able to tell, is not the reason for high gas prices.
What is the reason? Who are the real culprits? Ironically, the Koch Brothers themselves might bear the most responsibility.
Most people who know anything about the issue know that that it's speculation in the oil markets rather than actual worldwide supply of oil that drives gas prices. Not only do corporations like Koch Industries drive up the price of oil by betting on derivatives (much like the betting in the housing market that led to the 2008 financial crisis), but they use their own resources to artificially manipulate the price in order to boost their profits. Back in April, Think Progress explained how this game works:
In 2008, Koch called attention to itself for "contango" oil market manipulation. A commodity market is said to be in contango when future prices are expected to rise, that is, when demand is expected to outstrip supply. Big banks and companies like Koch employ a contango strategy by buying up oil and storing it in massive containers both on land and offshore to lock in the oil for sale later at a set price. In December of 2008, Koch leased "four supertankers to hold oil in the U.S. Gulf Coast to take advantage of rising prices in the months ahead." Writing about Koch's contango efforts to artificially drive down supply, Fortune magazine writer Jon Birger noted they could be raising "gasoline prices by anywhere from 20 to 40 cents a gallon" at the time.
This week, Think Progress posted a special report detailing exactly how Koch Industries rose to become the most powerful force in the oil market, from inventing oil derivatives in the first place (there was no such thing before 1986) to aggressively lobbying to deregulate the trading of these derivatives and thus allowing them to basically do to the price of oil whatever they please.
For most people, myself included, this is a complex issue and it's hard to wrap our heads around it. But it certainly sounds as though the Koch brothers are deliberately keeping gas prices high—deliberately making life more difficult for middle class Americans whose livelihoods depend on their ability to drive to and from work—so that they can then turn around and lie to those people and get them to blame the president so that someone more friendly to their industry can take his place in 2013. That's almost as despicable as taking a picture of yourself in your underwear…
I could be completely wrong about all this. I'm no financial expert and I know almost nothing about the oil industry, and the leftist sources I get this information from could very well be skewing it to fit their ideology.
Wouldn't it be helpful if we had some kind of institution in this country that investigated these issues, obtained all the facts, and objectively presented them to the American people with clear explanations so that we'd all have a better understanding of how our system works?
Instead we have a bonanza of talking heads chattering about whether we'll get to see more embarrassing pictures of a congressman's junk. But at least most of them preface their comments by saying, "I wish we were talking about something else."
That says it all, doesn't it? Even the people caught up in this circus can see how woefully pathetic it is. That's what happens when "news" is no longer treated as a valuable, essential element of democratic society, but as just another form of entertainment from which to earn a profit.
Of the three main focuses of this blog post—the Koch brothers, the media, and Anthony Weiner—the one who has done the least harm to this country by far is Anthony Weiner.
@Rw: man it sure would help if we had the progressive equivalent of the Koch Brothers, Scaife, Lindner and all the rest of the right-wing billionaires to fund the vanguard of which you speak :) Therein lies part of the problem. That's why they demonize Soros so hard - to scare off anybody with money on the Left from stepping forward.
The difference between a leftist tea party and a rightist tea party is that the leftist one would have to be based on actual sense. Finding enough sensible people might prove difficult and, if you did find them, they wouldn't be as easy to lead. You'll notice that there is no leftist equivalent of Dittohead - someone who is a proud literal follower. There used to be, but only on the Far Left, far enough to really get into dogma. (They weren't sensible either.) If you've ever read right wing fundraising letters, they pick prominent liberals and talk about what they've said and done, the unwritten assumption being that we work like they do. They really think (or their paying membership thinks because they raise money when they get their paying membership to think) that millions of Americans really follow Al Sharpton like people followed Jerry Falwell. Our model doesn't work like that.
I share your frustration. In all the directions you outlined, emphatically including what Obama is doing with oil, which makes no energy sense at all. American drilling will not only fail to insure our supply (which isn't in danger to begin with), it will have a barely discernable impact on oil prices at best and that impact, if it shows up at all, is many years away. In short, it accomplishes nothing but providing a little political cover for the next election because the President doesn't think it's a good idea to address the country and say: Guys, This Won't Work and This Is Why.

BSD benchmarking improvements
. With Phoronix Test Suite 4.4 Milestone 3, there's even more improvements.
- The external dependencies handling for test profiles to install necessary OS/platform dependencies has received a major overhaul in Forsand. The improvements make the dependency handling much more versatile and accommodating for out-of-tree packages, alternative compilers and other components, and supportive of Linux distributions and operating systems that haven't been "officially" tested with the Phoronix Test Suite. For users of existing tested distributions to the Phoronix Test Suite, dependency resolution and other operations are now handled faster too.
- Initial support for using
for dependency management on Apple Mac OS X platforms. This will allow for more OpenBenchmarking.org test profiles to function with the Phoronix Test Suite. More OS X improvements and test profile verification will happen with the next Phoronix Test Suite 4.4 release while Milestone 3 is just prepping this MacPorts handling.
- Improvements to the appropriate displaying of compiler flags/switches on the result graphs for various computational benchmarks.
- The new
file-system developed by Samsung as the "Flash Friendly File-System" for Linux is now properly detected based upon its magic number in the super block. The F2FS file-system is being introduced in the Linux 3.8 kernel. (Yes, coming soon on Phoronix.com are
F2FS benchmarks
- The Cryptfs, AuFS, LustreFS, and Panasas PanFS file-systems are also now properly detected too by Phodevi, the Phoronix Device Interface library.
- Processors capable of supporting AVX2 (Advanced Vector Extensions 2) are now recognized with this attribute, such as Intel Haswell and Broadwell processors.
- Various other minor enhancements and bug-fixes.
The latest release of the Phoronix Test Suite is available for download at
. The official release of Phoronix Test Suite 4.4 will happen before the end of Q1.

framing section of wall under ac duct work...
andrelaplume2August 18, 2009
I have a section of wall that is partially under some duct work. I want to put 1" XPS to the wall then frame in front of that. I can of course secure my pt stud to the concrete floor but can not attach my top stud to any ceiling joists above since the duct work is there.
My thought was to build the section of wall, raise it in place and secure the base plate to the concrete floor. The top plate would not secure to anything so in every other bay I would take a stud and attach it flat against the wall (tapcon thru the face of the stud, thru the XPS into the concrete)and then tie the wall stud into it's side. Does this seam reasonable, code complainat etc.?

I'm searching a flat text file version of the KJV bible for a word or group of words to get a match that returns the line, the book, chapter, and the verse that the word was found. My problem is that I had to manually find the line number that each book started with and put them in a dictionary, but I didn't consider, at the time, that the file had jumbled lines, for example:
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth, 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
So, if I did a search for God, the line that comes immediately after 1:16 with the chapter listed as 1 and verse as 16, and the same for 1:17 ... but the line in 1:18 would be listed as chapter 1, verse 17.
I need to figure out how to search all lines like 1:18 and move them to a new line. Obviously, the line numbers in first_lines dictionary in the code below will change, but that's minor (I will simply go back through the text file and manually look at the starting line numbers). I really appreciate any help. The text bible can be found here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10 Also, here is the code:

Well today we decided to go into the woods. Niece shot her first squirrel and 2 chipmunks. She used her grandmas first rifle (my moms), A marlin youth model .22. I found the shed antler about 5 feet from where her squirrel fell out of the tree. What a great first hunt.

These Instagram Videos From North Korea Are Surreal
The rest of the world gets a rare, 15-second video glimpse into the guarded culture of North Korea.
1. North Korean woman adds up the restaurant receipts while military videos play on the TV behind the counter.
As the only western media organization with a bureau in North Korea, the Associated Press has been documenting the cautious and isolated culture of the country with photos on Instagram since earlier this year.
On their most recent trip to Pyongyang, bureau chief Jean Lee and David Guttenfelder, chief AP photographer in Asia, decided to update their apps and start posting videos to document the 60th anniversary celebration of the armistice that halted the Korean War and show the culture of the mysterious city.
"I shoot them on my iPhone or iPod touch and can post to Instagram on the local 3G network," Guttenfelder says. He's posted about a dozen videos himself so far, and says that he'll be posting new ones everyday while in DPRK.
3. Giant turtle swimming in the fish tank in the lobby of the Yanggakdo hotel in Pyongyang.
4. Pyongyang at night. Guttenfelder's first video.
5. This is the North Korea national highway.
6. Roadside propaganda next to a construction site in Pyongyang.
7. North Korean schoolgirls on a bench outside a mausoleum where the bodies of the late leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il lie.
8. The kids pose for a photo outside the masoleum.
9. This is what's on TV tonight in North Korea.
10. Sunday morning programming on State TV showing Korean War footage on state TV, including U.S. bombing raids.
11. Opening night at the 60th anniversary celebration of the end of the Korean war.
12. North Koreans are apparently awesome at twirling ribbons.
CORRECTION: North Korean performers in the video above appear to be using ribbons. An earlier version misidentified the activity. (7/25/13)

The tech industry needs to change its culture that has not been inviting for women, some observers say, if it wants to fill a projected growth in jobs.

The ability to effectively communicate is critical to success in any business endeavor. Writing is one skill that, when done well, can set you apart from others. Writing is also very subjective and open to criticism based on individual writing styles and preferences.

ZIFFPAGE TITLECanadian Firearm RegistryBy Mel Duvall | Posted 2004-07-01 Email Print
A national computerized firearm registry in Canada was supposed to cost taxpayers $2 million. Instead, it has held them up for more than $1 billion.: A Shot in the Dark">
Canadian Firearm Registry: A Shot in the Dark
High price for safety: When the Canadian government proposed building a computerized database to track the estimated 7 million firearms in the country, it said the project would cost about $119 million Canadian ($88 million U.S.) to implement. Those costs were to be offset by $117 million in gun-owner registration fees, leaving taxpayers with a bill for $2 million. Instead, costs have soared to more than $1 billion.

"Is the stairway leading to the top of the Qutab Minar in Delhi dark and dingy and has the Government any proposal to electrify it," Mr. B.D Pande asked in the Lok Sabha on November 21. The Deputy Education Minister, Dr. M.M. Das, had to face a volley of questions when he answered "no, sir." The Deputy Speaker, Mr. Hukum Singh, said that the passage was not only dark and dingy, but dirty also. Mr. Pande asked whether the Minister was aware that at the spot pickpockets plied their nefarious trade and women were molested. Dr Das denied that any complaint of molestation had been made. Several other members insisted that the passage was dark and asked why it could not be electrified. One member asked, "Has the Minister ever gone there?" Dr. Das replied that there was no proposal to electrify it. After all, it had remained like that for 750 years.

Nice heavy
Rhonda from United States– Verified Buyer
There was no set up to these barstools at all. The came fully assembled. Hubby did tighten the screws up on the bottom just to make sure they were tight enough. They are nice and heavy and have plastic feet on the bottoms of them. I added felt pads just to make sure they don't scratch my hardwood floors. The leather like material is not as nice as I had hoped but will do for the occasional use they will get. Only gave them 4 stars due to the fact that both stools have a really bad groan to them when swiveling. Would still buy again.
Perfect barstools!!!!
Michelle Huguenin from Granite Bay, CA
These bar stools are absolutely gorgeous! Super sleek, modern and sexy! They are true bright white and very high quality. They are pretty heavy and I was worried about them scratching our wood floors, but they don't. The tiny feet on the bottom prevent them from scratches when you slide them around. We couldn't be happier with this purchase! They are definitely worth the relatively high price tag.
very great product
Karl from Sept-iles, QC– Verified Buyer
Very great quality, the white one is very looking good. very heavy
counter stools
Faye from Eugene, OR– Verified Buyer
Beautiful, comfortable and perfect for our counter bar. But very sharp edges on foot rest.
Great bar stools
Sean from Irvine, CA– Verified Buyer
They look great! One of them was a little loose, but an allen wrench fixed the problem.
Barstool review
Jodi from Westford, MA– Verified Buyer
I do love the barstools. Seem very good quality. The top of the leather back on one of the stools isnt stuffed quite as perfectly as the other two, but I really dont notice it anymore. Other than that, they are comfortable, sleek, contemporary, and gorgeous. Would be 5 stars except for the back on one.
Well made, heavy base bar stools.
Kerry from New Harmony, UT– Verified Buyer
We wanted bar stools with a very heavy base so that people would not move them in and out from the bar, leaving marks on the floor. These bar stools accomplish that objective. The base is heavy enough that people find it easier to simply turn to the side to get in and out of the seat. The turning mechanism, adjustable height, and heavy base are exactly what we are looking for.
excellent value combined with good looks
Joel from Columbus, Ohio– Verified Buyer
These barstools are extremenly comfortable, easily adjustable, and have the exact look that I wanted. I'm very satisfied
Great Product!
Page Mcconnell from Birmingham, MI– Verified Buyer
Excellent Construction, Style, and Comfort!!

Seven marriageable daughters . . . And Lord Zachary Griffin is just the man to help them.
After all, what could be more tantalizing than teaching the beautiful Witfeld sisters all the special ways of driving a man into submission—and marriage? And leading exquisite Caroline Witfeld, the most spirited and least frivolous sister, to temptation would be wildly delicious.
Zachary doesn't realize that Caroline's longing gazes have less to do with attraction and more to do with admission—to a prestigious arts conservatory. If only she could set those high cheekbones, that aristocratic brow, and those powerful shoulders to canvas, her dreams would all come true. But Caroline is soon having dreams of a very different sort—ones that involve the charming rogue and some improper behavior hardly befitting a lady dedicated to her art . . .unless she becomes dedicated to the art of love.
A native and current resident of Southern California, Suzanne Enoch loves movies almost as much as she loves books. She once appeared on an E! special, Star Wars Is Back, as an expert on the romance in the Star Wars movies. Other highlights include winning her third grade spelling bee, receiving an E.T. poster and T-shirt in an alien-inspired poetry contest, and submitting a script for The A-Team (which was not why the series was cancelled). When she is not busily working on her next novel, Suzanne likes to contemplate interesting phenomena, like how the three guppies in her aquarium became 161 guppies in five months.

Sales team courts advertisers as iPad publication ducks behind a pay wall.
Having debuted earlier this month with sponsorship from major brands including Virgin Atlanic and Land Rover, News Corp.'s iPad-based news app The Daily is now pitching advertisers and agencies for its next round of ads.
The product remains in its infancy but advertiser reception so far has been positive, according to publisher Greg Clayman.
"Within the next month users will begin to see new creative and other advertisers," Clayman told ClickZ, explaining that ads are currently being sold in multi-week sponsorship packages. "We anticipate over the long term that advertisers might update their creative frequently. They don't necessarily want users looking at same thing over and over again."
Following an initial free trial period The Daily will introduce a $.99 subscription charge next week to help subsidize the $500,000 overhead News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch estimates the venture will run up every seven days.
"We're priced very aggressively, and priced to attract readers and audience. In terms of the revenue split between subscriptions and advertising we don't know what that will be yet and can't say for the long term," Clayman said, adding that he's seen metrics suggesting similar products run at around a 50/50 split between the two revenue sources.
As Clayman points out, The Daily - and indeed the tablet medium itself - are both in their infancy. As a result the outfit is still experimenting with the technology and its capabilities, and learning how to best serve the needs of marketers. "In terms of how this media is sold there are differences between the Web and the iPad," he said, referring to the way ads sit on virtual "pages" in a manner similar to print.
The Daily hopes to use practices more common in Web advertising, such as behavioral and location-based targeting and detailed reporting. "We intend to be transparent with our data. We'll share the impression data, unique user data and engagement information that advertisers are accustomed to seeing from the Web," said Clayman.
From a technology standpoint, those ad serving and reporting solutions, as well as the creative units themselves, are powered by Medialets, a mobile ad platform provider. Medialets is working closely with The Daily, it's advertisers, and their agencies to produce the ads.
"Medialets is a useful party… Its team will help ensure that creative concepts work for the medium," Clayman said. He emphasized that The Daily's own production staff also plays a role in the ad creation process. "We don't want to create all these ads. They should come from the agencies, that's what they do well… That being said we have a lot of people here on staff who create content and some advertisers are saying to us, 'You create this stuff every day, could you work with us to create some stuff?'"
Clayman added that in-house staff have already created executions for fellow News Corp. brand Fox.
In terms of the type of advertisers The Daily hopes to appeal to, Clayman suggested the base is broad. Beyond the brand-focused campaigns the publication has already run for advertisers in the automotive, retail and consumer packaged goods verticals, however, He also predicted increasing interest from online retailers and digital goods vendors, such as application developers, for example.

Was Popeye found dead, or did a hunter finally take him?

When hunting the SE around the 10-15th of Oct., I have found a loose horn on some bucks, most not though.
I have been considering the W.W. in .270wsm as a western rifle. IIRC, they have a bedding-block and a fair trigger.

I have used "straight" for many years during hunting season, but I have an angled spotter for prone target matches.
