Back in Cali
I am almost back home and I have to stop for gas at a Shell for $45.85. I had breakfast at McDonalds. The pancakes cost me $2.19 and I just snacked on some fruit for lunch because I was not very hungry.

Trying to Get This Show on the Road
... days in Brussels so that we can travel with our friends too. Then we will trade the van for a mid size SUV and rent it for 28 days, the max you can rent. It isn't all perfect to rent a car as we will need to find parking in Salzburg and Vienna, and don't know yet if we can take it into Prague. But it is a start.
Without an RV we will need to camp in campgrounds, which means bringing some camping gear. Don't know if we will fit in the car. We ...

... study of American junk food, ate a chilli cheese dog. And apparently enjoyed it (while parents looked on in admiration and horror - me the former, Jill the latter). After crossing the arid plains of California a little south of Death Valley, it was nice to come into Bakersfield over the hills and down onto what Jill tells me is an alluvial plain (she also tells me, having now read this, that those hills actually ...

... between Tucson and Phoenix we pass the 10,000 mile mark of the trip. Just like in Texas, by the time we get to a big city it is rush hour and the traffic is terrible! People in Phoenix drive 75 miles an hour with one foot on the brake!! It's like playing dodge ball with a car!

Fun in the sun - not so much
... Wacky Wednesday again which unfortunately didn't take up as much time as I had hoped. The day dragged on as usual so I couldn't wait for camp to be over. We then went again for Caesars palace before heading back home. Once I headed back home I chilled out by the pool before we went to a local baseball batting cage. It was such a destresser especially after looking after the little ones all day. Once I arrived back to the house I had to quickly get changed ...

Motorola Moto G (2014)Compare8.5 reviewWhile most of the buzz has been for its brother the new Moto X, there is officially a new Moto G as well. Of course, there isn't exactly all that much that is new about the device, as it shares quite a bit in common with last year's Moto G. The major difference this year is in the design of the device, while the internals are only a modest update overall compared to last year's Moto G. On the outside, the changes can be summed up in two points: the display is now 5-inches rather than 4.5, and there are stereo front speakers. That's about it. On the inside, the cameras have gotten modest updates (8-megapixels in the rear and 2-megapixels in the front compared to 5MP and 1.3MP), and there is now a microSD card slot. Otherwise, the device has the same Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, swappable shells, and software offerings.+ View Specs

Motorola Moto X (2014)Compare8.8 reviewWith the new Moto X we are getting a 5.2-inch AMOLED display running at 1080p, a customized Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5GHz, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, and a 2300mAh battery. The device measures 72.4 x 140.8mm (~2.85 x 5.54-inches) and the width ranges from 3.8 mm (0.15-inches) at the edge to 9.9mm (0.39-inches) at in the middle, and it will weigh 144 g (5.08oz). Sadly, the back logo is not a button, although it does look like one. But, the edge-to-edge design means that Motorola has been able to fit a slightly larger display in the same device width as the Samsung Galaxy S5.+ View Specs

Huawei Ascend G7CompareThe Huawei Ascend G7 is an upper mid-range model that seems very interesting and appealing. For starters, the device has a big 5.5-inch 720p INCELL display. Thanks to this, the Ascend G7 is only 0.29 inches (7.6mm) thick. The build is impeccable, too - it's all metal here, folks. No plastic, no masters! The internals don't disappoint, either - a 64-bit quad-core CortexA53 1.2GHz processor, almost certainly Huawei-designed silicon, runs the show, together with 2GB of RAM. The processor is 4G LTE-enabled, and the phone has 16GB of non-expandable storage. The Ascend G7's main camera is a 13MP BSI unit with f2.0 aperture size. The front camera is a five-megapixel fixed-focus snapper. Both cameras have 88 degree-wide lens and blue-glass filters.+ View Specs

Again though - I suspect the wildly varying differences are more personal preference and our own unique physical and mental idiosyncracies - rather than quality control issues at Grado. We can agree to disagree anyway.
I know we had very big differences in the way you and I heard/appreciated the SR line. Your preference for the 125i was at complete odds with mine. But that's what makes this hobby interesting - listening to other's POVs and comparing them with your own.
1. I'm with you on this one
2. Im with Biscuitz on my preference of the Sr125, well at least vs. the 225i (never heard the 325's).

NASA Trying To Reinvent Their Approach 123
from the handle-my-lightweights dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
More committees. Way to think outside the box.
If they want to reinvent their approach, perhaps they should start by not creating multiple committees every time they want to accomplish something
It's not like it's rocket science.
Slashdot user C: You both suck, we should be dumping money into a big hole and burning it, screw the earth and space, kill everyone.....
Committee: The only known form of life with 6 or more legs, and no brain.
(From the notebooks of Lazarus Long
Managing large organisations is hard. You can't just say make it so and expect anything will get done. Getting even one thing done in a four year period in a large organisation like NASA will take an enormous amount of organisation and planning.
Once we find out if asteroid detection, deflection or destruction is trivial and reliable, then we can go on to mentally masturbating about colonizing other bodies.
I presume the NASA memory foam will come into play here. We should be good to go.
No one grows up wanting to fuck up an asteroid.
Ha, not so! Inspired by many hours playing asteroid, to this day I love the idea of blasting the fuck out of asteroids! NASA's Deep Impact mission was just about the coolest thing ever! Comet, asteroid, planet, the freaking moon, whatever. I say bring it on!
In fact, if you made the (granted somewhat dubious) assumption that the portion of my allowance that I spent on pretending to blow shit up in space as a kid should be reflected by the federal budget, then not only would the entirety of NASA be devoted to building rockets for fucking up asteroids and other heavenly bodies, NASA would be about 80% of the budget. The DoJ would be operating on a shoestring budget. Sorry guys, I know you have stuff to blow up here, but Titan is acting cocky and needs its ass kicked!

Police say impairment and speed not factors in fatal crash in Conway
Police Lt. Chris Mattei on Tuesday said he was told by a member of Sullivan's family that she suffered extensive damage to a leg and would require several days of hospitalization, "but she's going to make it."
"Our investigation is pretty much on hold until we hear from the medical examiner," who, said Mattei, may be able to determine whether Guerin experienced a medical emergency.
A funeral service will be held for Guerin on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Bryant Funeral Home, 180 Hillside Ave., Berlin. Calling hours will be Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m.

Several years ago, a member of our congregation gave a slide presentation on Kairos that in- cluded letters from participants telling how their weekend with Jesus and the Kairos team was changing their lives inside prison. I thought, "What a wonderful thing it to bring love and joy to peo- ple in a situation that must sometimes seem devoid of both." Only years later, on my own Emmaus weekend, did I fully understand just how life-changing the experience of God's unconditional love can be, especially when it's delivered by His Holy Spirit through hundreds of helpers—those who are there in the flesh and the many others who support His work through round-the-clock prayers and gifts of agape. Last spring, I learned that a women's team was being formed for Kairos Outside (KO), a Kairos ministry new to northern Virginia. Unlike the "Inside" weekends, this one would be for women who had loved ones incarcerated. This was very appealing to me. I believe that women have historically supported each other through life's biggest crises. If the crisis happens to be a loved one incarcer- ated, finding friends who understand the emotional complexities and day-to-day challenges of this particular situation would likely be difficult. On a KO weekend, guests would meet other women who understood their situation completely and find mutual support that ideally would continue after the weekend. The team formation for KO depends on prayer, worship, and Fully Relying on God [F.R.O.G.] to ensure that the weekend happens according to His plans. God puts the team together, calls the guests to participate, and, as we pray for and learn more about each other, infuses the whole enter- prise with His loving spirit. The weeks of team-building for KO NOVA #1 went by almost too quickly, and at last we were all on our way to the hills of Maryland in the glorious early autumn sunshine. After the toting of bags upstairs and down, unpacking, greetings, preparation of meeting spaces, and lunch, we eagerly awaited the arrival of our guests. Our cook team was AWESOME! These folks were working behind the scenes from the very first team meeting to make sure that our bodies were nourished along with our spirits. They were much more visible, however, on the actual weekend. After finding spaces to store the mountains of cookies and snacks contributed by the Kairos community, they set up the dining room, whipped up a "little" lunch for the team, consisting of homemade soups, salads, sandwich fixings, and desserts, and then did it all over again a few hours later for our guests. A big surprise was the comedic talent this group had been nurturing! Their skits, funny songs, poems, and other entertainment during the weekend definitely contributed to its joyful ambiance. At last, we got to meet our guests! They were beautiful, amazing, and inspirational. They ranged in age from 20s to mid 80s. In some cases family members attended together. As a table leader, I was blessed with an opportunity to watch the same bonding experience the team had experienced unfold before my eyes as the guests drew closer to each other. Their common life experience took precedence over differences in age, careers, and languages. Furthermore, these strong women were already finding ways to transcend many of their challenges and comfortably shared these with each other. Our hope for the weekend—the development of a support network for the first group of KO NOVA guests—was becoming a reality. The women grew progressively closer, the team was blessed by the guests, the guests were blessed by the KO NoVA and Maryland Kairos communities, and we were all blessed by the moun- tains of agape that grew hour by hour in the community room. I think the weekend was especially fun for us rookie team members, because a lot of the little surprises prepared for the guests throughout the weekend surprised and delighted us, too. Because KO NoVA community is still very new, increasing our group of potential team members is important as we prepare for the next two weekends. If you have been a guest on a Kairos week- end, and would like to contribute your hands, feet, voice, and experience to a special weekend for other women with loved ones who are incarcerated, please sign up to team or sponsor a guest… Go to www.KairosOutsideNoVA.org for a team application and instructions.

If you grew up in the 1980s, you may recall a series of tiny pink wrestling figures called M.U.S.C.L.E. men. More than 200 different characters were released, but the fad faded away quietly with the onset of the 1990s, quite possibly because there wasn't an accompanying cartoon series to maintain interest in the toy line. Recently, Bandai introduced Ultimate Muscle, a new line of wrestling toys based on the original M.U.S.C.L.E. line. The marketing for Ultimate Muscle is much more pervasive than the campaign for the original series. An animated cartoon show regularly exposes children to the ongoing adventures of characters such as Kid Muscle, Terry Kenyon, and Ramen Man, and there are also accompanying video games available for the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance systems. The GBA game is titled Ultimate Muscle: The Path of the Superhero. It's a simple yet entertaining game that should appeal greatly to fans of the cartoon series.
The game features 24 individual characters and four different play modes. Like the TV show, the story mode centers on Kid Muscle, a reluctant hero living in the shadow of his father, the legendary King Muscle. As you defeat opponents in the story mode, you'll see various events unfold just as they have in the animated series. These moments are presented using comic-book-style cutscenes overlaid with textual dialogue drawn directly from the show. The other play modes include the typical one-on-one versus and survival options you've seen in other games, as well as a unique three-on-three team battle mode that's similar to what you'd find in SNK's popular King of Fighters fighting game series. Unfortunately, there isn't a tag team mode, nor is there a create-a-wrestler feature that allows you to put together your own characters. On the upside, however, every play mode other than the story mode includes link-cable support, allowing you to compete against a friend who also owns a copy of the game.
For the most part, Ultimate Muscle is easy to get the hang of, although it does take a brief amount of time to become accustomed to the game's timing system. When characters grapple, a vertical bar with a cursor and three different color zones appears. Weak moves can be pulled off when the cursor is in the yellow or blue portions of the bar, while strong moves, whips, and throws can be accomplished only when the cursor is in the blue portion. If you hesitate too long or input a command when the cursor is in the red section, your opponent will perform a move. As you wear down an opponent, the sizes of the blue and yellow portions of the bar increase, improving your chances of successfully performing an attack. Each character has his own set of roughly a dozen or so grapples and counters, although there aren't any turnbuckle or over-the-ropes maneuvers.
What separates Ultimate Muscle from other wrestling games is that you don't win matches by pinning your opponent. Instead, you have to KO your adversaries by performing signature moves when their stamina is low. You can execute a signature move when an opponent is stunned or has been launched into the air, but the timing window for performing these moves is much shorter than for normal grapples. The only time the blue area of the meter is substantial is when your opponent is completely worn out. Otherwise, you'll need to activate what's called a friendship power in order to supersize the meter. The friendship meter builds gradually every time you and your opponent come in contact, typically giving you two or three opportunities to perform signature moves during a match. Signature moves liven up the pace of a match considerably, mainly because they're accompanied by glitzy graphical effects and digitized voice clips taken directly from the cartoon series.
The cutscenes that occur between matches and when signature moves are performed help tie the video game into the cartoon series, but even the action in the ring bears striking a resemblance to the TV show. The characters are large and look exactly like they do on TV or in the toy packages, even if the animation isn't as smooth as is possible on the Game Boy Advance. Every time you perform a signature move or activate a friendship power, you'll hear the actual characters call out their moves, thanks to the use of digitized voice clips. There's even running, text-based commentary from Mac Metaphor and Doc Nakano that scrolls across the bottom of the screen. Some of the ring locations don't display much in the way of outside detail, but that doesn't detract substantially from the game's intended celluloid look.
While Ultimate Muscle: The Path of the Superhero is primarily a game for fans of the franchise, there's enough in it to appeal to enthusiasts of traditional fighting and wrestling games. The characters and their moves are positively hilarious, and the combat system is complex enough to allow two human players to play match after match without growing bored.

No. 9 Miami, No. 2 Duke ready for ACC tourney push
Miami rolled through most of the Atlantic Coast Conference season and coasted to the program's first regular-season championship. The ninth-ranked Hurricanes enter this week's ACC tournament as the No. 1 seed and looking to add another crown to their trophy case.
To do that they're going to have to capture their first tournament title in the home state of No. 2 Duke, which has won 10 of the past 14 ACC tournament titles.
Miami coach Jim Larranaga said winning both the regular-season and tournament titles has been a goal all season.
''So now we have a very clear target and for us, we hope it will be a three-day event - Friday, Saturday, Sunday,'' Larranaga said after Wednesday's practice. ''But we know to win it, we're going to have to play very well and beat some very good teams.''
The tournament opens Thursday in the Greensboro Coliseum, starting with eighth-seeded Boston College and ninth-seeded Georgia Tech. The top four seeds all earned byes into Friday's quarterfinals.
The Hurricanes (24-6, 15-3) were picked to finish fifth in the preseason, but they won their first 13 league games and reached No. 2 nationally. They stumbled late but still finished a game ahead of the second-seeded Blue Devils (27-4, 14-4) for the outright title and the tournament's top seed.
The Hurricanes are trying to become only the third team from outside the state of North Carolina to win the tournament in 20 years, joining Maryland in 2004 and Florida State last year.
Miami has reached the semifinals only once before, as a No. 12 seed after a pair of upsets before falling in a close game to top-seeded Duke here in 2010.
''There has been a lot of adversity, going from last in the ACC to a team with a lot of expectations and not really living up to them, and then this season people not thinking we were as good as we turned out to be,'' senior Julian Gamble said.
''We still have work to do. We're perfectionists. We want to play our absolute best basketball and we don't want to make mental mistakes, especially going into these tournaments.''
The Blue Devils are still working to integrate senior forward Ryan Kelly back into the lineup after he was out for two months with a foot injury.
Kelly returned with a career-high 36 points in a home win against Miami on March 2, and Duke is 18-0 with him this year as opposed to 9-4 without him.
''We're getting the feel back, but he was out two months, so it's not going to just happen overnight,'' point guard Quinn Cook said. ''We're getting the feel back. Practices have been great just with him. We're getting back to where we were before he got hurt. We still got a long ways to go but we're just taking baby steps to where we need to be.''
For third-seeded North Carolina, the challenge is to prevent last weekend's ugly loss to the rival Blue Devils from lingering into this weekend.
The Tar Heels had won six straight with a four-guard lineup, but Duke ran out to a 14-0 lead in Saturday's rivalry game and never looked back to drain some of UNC's momentum.
''I don't think you can let one game crush you and lead to another one and another one and another one,'' UNC coach Roy Williams said. ''I think that does happen with some teams who struggle quite a bit, but we had been playing pretty well, so hopefully we'll handle it that way.''
Virginia is the No. 4 seed for the second straight year and could use a good showing in Greensboro to bolster its NCAA tournament chances. The Cavaliers edged Maryland in overtime Sunday to secure their first-round bye.
''Nobody knows exactly what's needed today to make the NCAA tournament or not,'' Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. ''But (the players are) aware that we could certainly continue to position ourselves better if we can be victorious, without a doubt.''
North Carolina State is seeded fifth after being the preseason favorite for the first time in nearly four decades. The Wolfpack started 3-0 in ACC play but played inconsistently all year and blew a chance to secure a first-round bye by losing at Florida State on Saturday.
N.C. State faces 12th-seeded Virginia Tech and ACC player of the year Erick Green - the nation's leading scorer at 25.4 points per game - in Thursday's first round.
''It's crunch time,'' Wolfpack senior Scott Wood said, ''If we're not ready to play now, we're not working hard enough.''
Among the lower seeds, the reigning champion and sixth-seeded Seminoles face No. 11 seed Clemson, while seventh-seeded Maryland faces No. 10 seed Wake Forest on Thursday.
If the season's scores are any indication, it should be a competitive tournament.
For the second straight year, the ACC had 40 league matchups decided by five or fewer points, according to STATS LLC. That number is higher than any total from the previous 10 seasons.
''I do think it's open,'' Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. ''You look at the top four or five seeds, are they clearly better than the rest of us? Maybe not, but they have the talent and the upperclassmen to get it done here this weekend.''
AP Sports Writers Joedy McCreary in Durham and Steven Wine in Miami contributed to this report.

About the Book
"Ann Mah's Kitchen Chinese is a delicious debut novel, seasoned with just the right balance of humor and heart, and sprinkled with fascinating cultural tidbits."
—Claire Cook, bestselling author of Must Love Dogs
Kitchen Chinese, Ann Mah's funny and poignant first novel about a young Chinese-American woman who travels to Beijing to discover food, family, and herself is a delight—complete with mouth-watering descriptions of Asian culinary delicacies, from Peking duck and Mongolian hot pot to the colorful, lesser known Ants in a Tree that will delight foodies everywhere. Reminiscent of Elizabeth Gilbert's runaway bestseller Eat, Pray, Love, Mah's tale of clashing cultures, rival siblings, and fine dining is an unforgettable, unexpectedly sensual reading experience—the story of one woman's search for identity and purpose in an exotic and faraway land.
Isabelle Lee thinks she knows everything about Chinese cuisine. After all, during her Chinese-American childhood, she ate it every day. Isabelle may speak only "kitchen Chinese"—the familial chatter learned at her mother's knee—but she understands the language of food. Now, in the wake of a career-ending catastrophe, she's ready for a change—so she takes off for Beijing to stay with her older sister, Claire, whom she's never really known, and finds a job writing restaurant reviews for an expat magazine. In the midst of her extreme culture shock, and the more she comes to learn about her sister's own secrets, Isabelle can't help but wonder whether coming to China was a mistake . . . or an extraordinary chance to find out who she really is.

Syria civil war was brought about by Israel? So you believe its in Israels interests to bring down a Secular Assad and help to bring another Islamic Extremist country into existence on its own border? Makes no sense.
You have an interesting outlook on Justice and freedom of speech. Do you consider yourself a Progressive?

Kids Production a Blend of Acting Instruction and Performance
The Acting Studio of Southwest Florida is looking for kids, ages 9 through 17, of all acting skill levels, to act in a fun production that will blend training by experienced, working professionals in the acting field with a real Broadway-style show. Everything about this program will create an atmosphere of authenticity, including an open audition that will be held on Saturday, November 9 at 11:00 a.m. at The Acting Studio of Southwest Florida in South Fort Myers.
"The program will run for ten weeks," says Pasquale Gaeta, the founder and director of The Acting Studio of Southwest Florida. "The kids will meet on Saturdays for a two-hour session that'll include acting skills training and rehearsal. In the Spring, we'll perform four shows and we'll be inviting local critics and casting agents to attend. It's all about getting a real-life experience."
Kids with little or no acting experience are welcome and should not feel intimidated or afraid to attend the November 9th open audition. "This is about getting the experience of a big production—from start to finish—while also getting trained by professionals," Gaeta emphasizes, "so all kids are welcome to come, and since the studio is underwriting the program ourselves, we can do this at no cost to the kids."
The production, titled Bigger Than Life, is being directed by actor, comedian, director, and acting teacher Gary Obeldobel, a well-known artist in the Southwest Florida theater scene. Obeldobel, who attended the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City, has worked locally for many years with organizations such as Theatre Zone, Charlotte Players, Cultural Center Theater, and Lab Theater, just to name a few.
"Gary brings a lot of experience to the program, including his work with kids' theater," Gaeta notes. "He'll be working with the young actors to improve their craft and also directing them in the production. It's going to be a lot of fun and a fantastic opportunity for the kids."
Bigger Than Life shows what happens when the famous P.T. Barnum and his lovable troupe arrive in a small town where the mayor challenges Barnum's legitimacy. When Barnum agrees to put on his show for the town, hilarity and fun ensue as he brings characters from American folklore to life to tell their stories.
Kids should attend the open audition on November 9, 2013 to be considered for entrance into the program. The open audition will be held at The Acting Studio of Southwest Florida, which is located at 19451 S. Tamiami Trail, Unit 11, Fort Myers.

Delicious Raspberry Bush Produces Huge - Plump Berries
Heritage Raspberry plants are a newly developed berry bush, bred for:
• Huge, delicious berries
• A long season of fruiting
• Better disease and drought resistance
Flavorful raspberries of the highest quality can be grown right in your own backyard!
'Heritage' Raspberries are the most popular red raspberry plant on the market. A vigorous, hardy plant that thrives in most soil types, and even tolerates the coldest of climates.
A trouble-free berry bush... just plant, then pick for years to come. This award winning cultivar will provide you with a bountiful harvest beginning in June. High in antioxidants, these raspberries are so nutritious and flavorful.
These new raspberry bushes produce bushels of plump, juicy berries for months. You'll enjoy these delicious berries from June until winter... much longer than most berry bushes.
Great for small yards or tiny areas… these raspberry bushes only grow to 4 to 6 feet wide.
Heritage Raspberries are great for southern states because they are extremely drought tolerant once they reach maturity, but they can grow up north as well!
Expect huge raspberries wherever you plant them. And they aren't finicky like other berry bushes.
Plant them in full sun to get the best results for full, tasty fruit all summer and fall.
Don't wait! The sooner your 'Heritage' raspberries are planted, the sooner you'll be enjoying a plentiful supply of sun-ripened berries whenever you walk into your backyard!
Growing Zones: 4-8

Chrysler Group has appointed Robert Hegbloom as the new Head of Ram Truck Brand.
Hegbloom joined Chrysler in 1986 and previously served as the Director of Ram Truck Brand. As part of his new role he will be a part of Chrysler Group's NAFTA leadership team.
Reid Bigland, the former president and CEO of Ram Truck Brand, was appointed to a new position with Alfa Romeo and is also a member of the NAFTA leadership.
"Reid has been working intensely with Bob in the establishment of the Ram Truck Brand after separation from Dodge and it is appropriate that Bob now be given the opportunity to continue and intensify the work started by Reid," said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group.
"Both Reid and Bob have grown tremendously as leaders in the last five years and the time has come for them to have expanded leadership roles," said Marchionne.

Why is it okay for Jordan to build a Nuclear Power Plant but not okay for Iran?
Is there any corporate malfeasance that someone won't try to explain away. How about if Comcast came out and shot the guy? Would you say that was his fault?
Yes, you never call Comcast for any reason. At least Comcast shooting him is more honest then what they normally do.
Dear mother, smoking, drinking and having tattoos are not good traits, but they are not necessary for someone to be a nasty criminal.
Curious - what is necessarily wrong with those traits? Obviously, from the story, one can be quite devastatingly evil (causing an incident resulting in innocents at gunpoint) without them.
Smoking gives you cancer, drinking ruins your liver and can result in uncontrolled behavior (brawls, DUIs, etc), and tattoos basically ruin your chance at a lot of jobs. They're also all correlated somewhat with anti-social behavior (of various kinds) in general, which I think was the point the mother was relying on. "Because he lacks traits correlated with bad behavior, he must not have engaged in bad behavior." Obviously, this is faulty, but mothers often aren't rational when it comes to defending their kids.
Any job that can't accept me how I am isn't a job i want to work at.
If the NSA does not already have access to Cisco's obfuscated address system, then they are not doing their job.
Perhaps, but I believe it is incumbent upon us as American citizens to make their job as difficult as possible. The more steps they have to take to get at our information, the better. The ultimate aim should be to make their data collection so difficult that they have to ration their efforts.
I find it funny how I was raised in the 70 & 80's being told this is the sort of stuff communist countries (ie. Russia/Soviet Union) do, not free countries. That America would never be like this.
How fucking times changes.
Thanks America, for showing me the real enemy is politics.
The people who wrote the Constitution couldn't imagine the technology we have today, therefore the Constitution doesn't apply anymore. Q.E.D.
Nope, not how it works.
Can you imagine how effective would it be if the kid's talking doll suggested buying some other toys or accessories ?

thanks! =)
I'm guessing we'll be having a future of where people will abuse their various body parts via drugs & alcohol and then just buy a new one. The new "plastic surgery".
Personally I'm waiting for the full human clones and the mind transplants.
Unless I am mistaken, the Washington, USA, area runs on UTC-5 when on Eastern Standard Time and UTC-4 when on Eastern Daylight Time; never UTC-3 unless someone is working very early hours. So it seems like weak evidence indeed!
Funny how this is weak evidence, but stuff like this is what they used to say North Korea hacked Sony.
you know that DRAM hack-attack that was just made public? how much you wanna bet the US gov had a hand in making that possible?
I doubt that. My guess is it's just a prime example of cutting costs. It's cheaper to run non-ecc ram, and it's cheaper to implement software based ECC, then it is for hardware ECC.
Corporations want to make as much profit as possible, and the best way to to use cheaper components when making stuff.
Unless you mean the actual software to exploit it? This issue isn't new, just no one has actually made a proof of concept and shared it with the public. Guess it is quite possible that other people (NSA, Hackers) figured how to use this exploit.
I keep hearing about Microsoft's Android patents but I still don't know what they are?
The patents are that they will tie you up in court for years at costs way beyond what you'd pay if you just gave in.
Apparently it's a new idea when you add: on a cellphone to it.
So they create a console that is a computer and a year or two in, it's too slow because they didn't travel into the future and grab a GPU fast enough to keep up with PCs. What else is new? Welcome to desktops vs consoles. The next 5 years are going to be a joke for consoles.
Or we are going to get another 5 years of lame PC ports and GPU's that never reach there full potential unless you go with 3 4k monitors.
I'm so fucking sick of it, I'm SO SICK OF IT.
If you want 1080p ALL the time and 60fps ALL the time then buy a goddamned PC.
Consoles are not the be all and end all of power, the new consoles are not ultra beast powerhouses, they are affordable gaming boxes, which are surprisingly powerful for the cost.
I can't believe I once identified as a PC gamer who loved insulting peasant console people. Now that I'm older, I just want to play some games, I really dont' give a damn.
60fps MANDATORY or QQ!!!
You wanna demand 60fps minimum in my single player storyline focused games? Nope. Shut up. Stop whining, stop badgering developers. Go to NeoGAF and cry with the rest of them.
Look, this isn't reddit, and this isn't the pcmasterrace, so while you are claiming you aren't about that, you use the "peasant" which tells me you actually do believe you are a pcmasterrace. Only peeps in that sub called console users "peasants".
I think it's more akin to, if someone shoots at you, don't take cover or return fire until you radio up the chain of command, describe the situation, obtain observations, and get approval to respond. Meanwhile, bullets have been fired, and you're dead or the assailants have moved on.
Since when has the NSA given a fuck about the chain of command or even the constitution?

At a recent debate among other candidates for the top job, Mr. Péladeau told those assembled that Quebec sovereignty was increasingly a now-or-never proposition.
Thomas Mulcair keeps his New Democrats out of silly squabbles, and embraces the obvious fact he and the Liberals could work together. François Legault roars to the front of Quebec's Amazing Stupid Policy Race. And Ontario continues its hilarious liquor liberalization debate.
Political leaders are dumping on Parti Québécois leadership hopeful Pierre Karl Péladeau for saying an aging and immigrant population are holding back the sovereignty movement
The hijab is unwelcome in a Quebec judge's courtroom. No one in that province is willing to douse the flames of intolerance. The federal Conservatives are flirting with the same brand of politics. And get ready for new anti-terrorism laws that haven't been properly examined by Parliament.
The Ontario Liberals are just as morally decrepit as we thought they were. Politicians seem to have forgotten about freedom of religion. And Canada's sanctions against Russia still have two very odd, man-sized holes in them.
The Parti Québécois leadership candidate is not excluding the possibility of Quebec becoming independent based on an election result that puts the party in power
Ms. Marois' heir-apparent, Mr. Péladeau, is all about sovereignty. Still. That would be the theme of the leadership campaign, he declared upon officially throwing his hat into the ring.
If party luminaries cannot convince Mr. Péladeau of the need to divest his shares in Quebecor, member will have a very important existential decision to make
Jean-Francois Lisée says there was no point in his continuing to seek the leadership of the separatist party: the election in May has already been decided, and Pierre Karl Péladeau won.

Slain Toddler's Mom Pleads Guilty To Charges
The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
Listen to the Story
The Ohio Department of Transportation has released a draft transportation plan for new projects in early every part of the state.
The proposed transportation plan provides a $3 billion investment that's expected to create at least 60,000 new jobs. One of the big projects planned is a $334 million investment to improve interstate access to a key part of Cleveland.
$440 million is being set aside for the Portsmouth bypass in Southeast Ohio, and another $107 million interchange in Southwest Ohio.
The plan also calls for millions of dollars to widen some roads throughout Ohio, including I-75 in northwest Ohio, I-80 in eastern Ohio, and the 70/71 spit in downtown Columbus.
The Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, Jerry Wray, says the projects chosen scored at the top of a process that took into account many different factors.
But he says that doesn't mean the ones that were rejected were necessarily bad.
"There are tremendous needs all over the state and all of the projects that were requested and applied for have value," Wray says.
"They have merit based on safety, congestions, opportunities for jobs and development and when you begin to score them , they have merit. However, the resources are finite. The resources, when I talk about that, a lot of people think about money but there's also time in what it takes to develop a project.
"So even though we have a lot of money in the eyes of folks who are looking at the department of transportation, it's still finite and our mission is enormous. There is so much that we are expected to do all around the state and there's just not enough money to meet all of those wants and needs."
The Northern part of Ohio gets a lot of new projects under this plan, and Wray says that's because the $1.5 billion in bonds that will come from leasing the Ohio Turnpike.
"We've followed the same process we've always followed but the only thing is there is the opportunity for those projects that have a proposed nexus and are within 75 miles of the turnpike, there's a better opportunity for them to get funding because there's money that's available to them."
But an advocate for public transportation in Ohio says he's disappointed this proposed budget plan.
Gene Krebs says the fact is the department's long tern funding still depends on the gasoline tax that drivers pay. The problem, he says, is this budget ignores an important trend.
"The youth are simply, as a cohort, driving 23 percent less than previous generation groups. The Millenials, the Y generation coming through, drive about a quarter less than their parents did," Krebs says.
"And that's going to translate into two things….one, less traffic on the road but also it is going to translate into substantially less dollars for ODOT to spend because this is a state where the ODOT money comes from gasoline sold. So as everyone trades in Hummers for Hondas and the youth drive substantially less than their parents ever dreamed of doing, it's all going to have a negative impact."
Krebs says younger Ohioans favor public transportation, not driving. Yet this budget doesn't contain any major public transportation projects. So what happens to this plan? Ohioans can find it on the transportation department's website and make written comments on it up until the 16th of August.
After that time, the commission will get together again and use that input from the public to finalize the final transportation plan .

quoting commercial jobs
I was wondering if someone might give me some advice on bidding on commercial jobs. This is a small company just starting out and we're starting to receive plans on some commercial jobs. When calling around for our wholesale price on trees/plants/palms what is the protocol for pricing to the customer, for instance how do most of you decide what to charge, do you double the price of the item? Do you just add a small percentage on? I realize that you have to factor delivery charges and such if they are there but just need some basic advice on what the general rule of thumb might be for pricing the job and how much to add on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Be aware that commercial work is a rough business. You have to be very savvy about reading and understanding plans and specifications.There are some contractors who have made an art out of low bidding to take advantage of lack of information in a plan. Then they point out short comings as the job goes along and mention that it is not in the contract. They write up change orders and in the end the job costs more than the highest bidder.
If you are bidding on work as a sub, be aware that ou may expect the site conditions to be a certain way only to find that you need to bring it fill or remove it before you get to the point of what you expected at the beginning. Not all are like that, but don't assume this work to be the same as residential.
The toughest thing is that there will be a million other subs working (and parking) all over the site until the last day. You won't have the luxury of waiting for them to clear out.You will have to work around them.
The GC won't care about your work so long as something else is more of a priority.
Be careful.
I haven't done that many commercial jobs, mostly for the reasons laag mentions. It's absolutely true; I've had to put plants in while the irrigation guys were coming up behind me, pulling up what I just planted! They'll leave the plant on the sidewalk because it's not their job to replant it.
I don't do that type of job anymore; I've focused on residential with some small commercial jobs (coffee shop, local non-profit, etc.). Much more workable for me, and less stress!
First things first, price the job based on what you need to make for wages, material, overhead and a slightly reduced profit margin.
Make sure to read the specs provided, and not just those in the landscape section. Find out if you must have union labor or pay prevailing wage. Do you need any special insurance or bonding?
Review the plans closely, and do not rely on plant counts provided. Count everything yourself.
After you provide your proposal follow-up to see if you got the job, and if not why. Most gc's will tell you what everyone came in at.
My friend just bought over 200,000.00 in Commercial Landscaping Equipment and had a guy that said he could operate the equipment and bid the jobs. However we have invested over 5G in advertisement and leads, and have recieved a couple of leads that would cover all investment cost and still have a large profit. It would appear that the guy either doesn't really know how to bid or just doesn't want to. So I am trying to find out what people do I need to contact in order to have these leads bid upon and the equipment actually working instead of sitting.
