City all wet on frozen-pipe fix?
High-pressure hot water works: experts
Retired city worker Brian Treleaven says city hall's repeated claim that high-pressure water machines are not effective at thawing frozen city waterlines isn't accurate.
Treleaven said high-pressure water devices are difficult to use but once mastered are effective at thawing ice frozen in waterlines underneath city streets.
"I spent many evenings in people's basements in the '80s," Treleaven, who retired in 2008, said. "When we had the manpower, we'd take a hot-water machine... that's the way it used to be done."
Treleaven said he wasn't surprised when contractor Jaret Horbatiuk earlier this week announced he had jerry-rigged a high-pressure water machine to thaw frozen city waterlines at an Evanson Street home that had been without water for 29 days.
"The city used to have 12 of those machines but they were difficult to work with," Treleaven said. "They were replaced with the DBH (electrical current) machines."
Micah Cohen said he wasn't surprised either. The owner of Magikist, on Main Street, said the family business has been making and selling the high-pressure water machines to thaw frozen waterlines in cold-weather cities across the American Midwest for 30 years -- and he used to include the City of Winnipeg as a client.
"This year we're sending them to Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois," Cohen said.
"Our machines are designed to feed through the homeowner's line into the city line underneath the street, right to the water main," Cohen said. "If you get it through the curb-stop (the shut-off valve), there's no reason it can't thaw ice right up to the main."
City officials, including water and works director Diane Sacher, have repeatedly stated that the high-pressure water machines are not effective on frozen city waterlines.
The repeated denials surprised David McKeigan, co-owner of The Pyramid Cabaret on Fort Street.
McKeigan said that on March 12 city workers brought a high-pressure water machine to the club and thawed a build-up of ice inside the city portion of the waterline under Fort Street.
But city officials denied the success with the water machine at the Pyramid ever happened, claiming the freeze was contained to the club's property.
"They (city staff) determined the freeze was on the city line but they couldn't use the DBH machine so they brought in (a water-pressure machine)," McKeigan said. "They fed a waterline in at my water meter. I asked him how far it went and they said it went all the way across the street.
"They pumped in hot water. It took about 20 minutes. They said we were the first place they tried it on... They were pretty happy about it."
Treleaven said the high-pressure machines are difficult to work with because the narrow hose often can't penetrate through the shut-off valve that connects the homeowner's portion of the line to the city portion.
While it took Horbatiuk only 90 minutes to thaw the Evanson Street property, he spent several hours trying to manoeuvre the hose through the shut-off valve.
Cohen said he's advised buyers on how to get through the shut-off valve, often referred to as a curb-stop.
Mike Heyroth, director of the Rib Mountain Sanitary District in central Wisconsin, said Magikist's machines can quickly thaw ice in a waterline buried underneath a street -- once you get them past the curb-stop valve.
"They thaw ice very effectively, absolutely," Heyroth said. "Once you get it through that valve, we've had it cut ice every single time, and it's very effective at doing that. But getting through that valve is the tricky part."
Treleaven said the City of Winnipeg probably doesn't currently have any staff in the water and waste utility familiar with using the water-pressure machine, which is why they claim it doesn't work.
Treleaven said if the current workforce is unable to use the high-pressure machines, the city should contact some of the retirees from water and waste who had experiences with the Magikist machines.
"When you're in that kind of pickle and you need experienced staff, why hasn't anyone reached out to retirees," Treleaven said. "There's lot of people with experience... not that I want to do it."
Heyroth said the machine's narrow hose has to be finessed through the shut-off valve, adding it can take a variety of methods including adding a special tip to the front end of the hose that can ease it up and over washers and applying heat to the first half metre of the hose to remove the natural curve that develops.
"When the hose is pushed through the waterline, the natural curve pushes it downward and when it reaches the curb-stop it gets hung up there," Heyroth said, adding applying heat to the lead portion of the hose before it's inserted straightens it out and smooths the passage through the shut-off valve.
Cohen said he knows Winnipeg still has one of his firm's older water-pressure machines and he has recently lent them three others.
Cohen said the Magikist machines recirculate the water through a separate electrically-heated water tank. The machines also come with a shut-off valve to stop the flow of water once the ice has been thawed and until the water meter can be reconnected. The machines sell for $2,295.

Viewing the Nazis Through Their Children's Eyes
One of the curiosities of the current Academy Award season is that Australia was competing in the best foreign-language film category with a German-language film. Cate Shortland's "Lore," a drama about the waning days of World War II, did not pick up a nomination, but it has created a stir everywhere it's been shown, winning audience awards at festivals on its way to opening in New York on Friday."Lore," based on one of the novellas in Rachel Seiffert's three-part "The Dark Room," is the story of five young brothers and sisters forced to make their way alone across 500 miles of war-scarred territory to their grandmother's house after their parents, staunch Nazis, are arrested by Allied troops. During that journey, the title character, a 15-year-old girl, and her siblings meet a young concentration camp survivor, also in flight, who both protects and exploits them....

The images of that day in 1965 were quickly seared into the American consciousness: helmeted Alabama state troopers and mounted sheriff's possemen beating peaceful civil rights marchers in Selma, Ala., as clouds of tear gas wafted around the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
On March 7, 1965 — a day that would become known as "Bloody Sunday" — 600 marchers heading east out of Selma topped the graceful, arched span over the Alabama River, only to see a phalanx of state and local lawmen blocking their way on U.S. Highway 80.
The police stopped the marchers, led by Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and John Lewis, chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and ordered them to disperse. Then they attacked. Lewis, one of 58 people injured, suffered a skull fracture. Amelia Boynton Robinson, then 53, was beaten unconscious and left for dead, her face doused with tear gas.
Photos of that terrible day were seen around the world. Historians credit the beatings, and the public outrage that followed, as a catalyst for the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
For the second time in as many months, a state court has sided with a group of breakaway Episcopalians, ruling that they can keep their property after leaving the national church in 2008 over sharp differences on homosexuality and the authority of Scripture.
Judge John P. Chupp of the 141st District Court in Tarrant County, Texas, ruled March 2 that more than 60 parishes in greater Fort Worth can retain their property and remain independent of the Episcopal Church.
"We are grateful for the ruling in our favor,"said Bishop Jack Iker, the former Episcopal bishop of Fort Worth who's now affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America, which formed in 2009 as a rival to the Episcopal Church. "It's clear that both church laws and Texas laws have been rightly applied to this dispute."
While still a part of the Episcopal Church, Iker was a leader of the church's small conservative wing that opposed the 2003 consecration of an openly gay bishop and blessings for same-sex unions. He's also criticized the theology of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as unorthodox, and he refers women seeking ordination to a neighboring diocese.
The life and legacy of Pauli Murray has been getting a lot of attention from the media lately. Articles on Salonand NPR have highlighted Murray's trailblazing legal work around the intersections of race and gender in America. Murray's scholarship and activism around 'Jane Crow' — the overlapping discrimination faced by women of color — arose from her own experience as an African-American woman in early 20th century and her arguments resonate with seemingly even greater force today.
Less talked about, but equally needed in our present time, is an examination of her work as a priest and a theologian — and, critically, how her understanding of religious and nonreligious concepts provided the means, methods, and motivation for her own activism.
Indeed, in a life filled with accomplishments, it was perhaps her final achievement that she prized most personally. In 1973, Murray became the first female African-American Episcopal priest.
A lifelong Episcopalian, Murray's faith had always fueled her work for racial and gender equality. A small example from her experience at the famous 1963 March on Washington exemplifies this commitment. In typical Murray fashion, she attended with two groups that she felt represented her commitment to civil rights. Marching first with the local American Civil Liberties Union chapter, she then veered off and found the delegation from St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery parish, her home church in New York, to watch the "oncoming multitudes" peacefully demand racial equality in an unequal country.
Pastor Stan Mitchell's announcement that his evangelical GracePointe Church would fully affirm gay members met with a standing ovation from some, stunned silence from others, but everybody prayed together quietly at the end of it.
A month and a half later, Mitchell routinely receives emails inviting him to kill himself, often including the assurance they were sent in love from other Christians. Half of his 12-member board has left, along with half the average offering and about a third of the weekly attendance — once at 800 to 1,000 people.
He's met with dozens of disenchanted members and plans to see dozens more, apologizing almost compulsively for his handling of the issue. But there's no going back, he says. He doesn't even want to.
One of his biggest fears is that talking publicly about what happened at GracePointe could discourage countless other evangelical pastors who he says are ready to make the same move.
"I'm watching LGBT people finally make peace with themselves because they couldn't get away from the authority of Scripture and what they thought it said about them," said Mitchell, 46.
"The upsides — my God, they're everywhere in this."
Most of my life, I've heard people preface some sort of argument they want to support with the preface, "The Bible clearly states…"
I've come to believe, however, that this is a phrase Christians should eliminate from their vocabulary, for a number of reasons:
As well as being a good surfer and a great mate, I believe Hillsong's pastor Chrishan Jeyaratnam is one of the finest preachers in Australia. His teaching on "Your Will Be Done" in the Lord's Prayer: Lent series is exceptional.
WATCH: Your Will Be Done
"And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." [Micah 6:8]
Too often, perversions of our world's religious traditions make the daily news for their violence, corruption, greed, and prejudice. Meanwhile, authentic representatives of those traditions are often busy doing good — good that goes largely unnoticed. That's why I'm glad that a diverse group of religious leaders are sharing about seven ways authentic people of faith can work together to make a better world.
I served as a progressive evangelical pastor for 24 years, and during those years, I saw the evangelical movement struggling with its identity. The best versions of evangelicalism, whether they were labeled conservative or progressive, always took seriously passages like Matthew 25, where Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink." Those verses continue to inspire evangelicals of all persuasions to engage in life-giving mission — and in particular, to engage constructively in the world in seven positive, reconciling, and healing ways.
If you invest just a few minutes over the next seven days thinking and speaking up about these seven ways to participate in our world, I believe by week's end you will be moved to action and in it find a richer, more faithful life:
A couple of folks I really respect – Kate Gould of Friends Committee on National Legislation (aka, the Quaker Lobby), and Jim Wallis of Sojourners – were recently on the O'Reilly Factor. For those of you who don't watch cable news, this is a television program where Bill O'Reilly basically screams at people and incites hatred of anything non-white, non-rich, and non-Republican. I normally don't watch the show. But when I heard that Kate and Jim were going to be talking, I tuned in.
I knew almost immediately this wasn't going to be good. It's Bill's program, so he gets to frame the question. Here's what he asks: Do Christian pacifists have a solution for stopping ISIS?
It's the wrong question.
If you thought I was going to be one of those bloggers who was above using the recent viral #dressgate as blog fodder, you would be wrong. In fact, as soon as the dress started trending, I knew I would be writing about it because it so perfectly encapsulates my message.
By now you have seen the dress, and gone through the stages of denial, bewilderment, and acceptance of how your perception of color differs from the next person. You may have even read The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress. But you may not yet have had a faith writer exegete the profound spiritual significance of the dress. Do not fear, I am here to deliver. Below is a simple Christian Guide to #Dressgate:
A. If you see blue/black: you are a solid Christian. Like a rock, you are steadfast and unchanging. Because rocks are often black.
B. If you see white/gold: we all know only true Christians can see white/gold, as gold signifies the color which paves the streets of heaven, and white, the color of angel's robes.
C. If you see BOTH colors: you are one of those progressive, liberal, hippie types who is so politically correct you can't even exclude a color set of a dress.
D. If you can only see one set of colors, but you're so convinced you can trick your brain into seeing the other that you will spend an entire span of family dinner twitching your face, blinking and winking furiously, twisting your head at ridiculous angles at the photo, then you are just my husband.
I'm C, of course. The freaky dress does crazy mental magic on my brain, switching colors on me spontaneously, forcing me to existentially question every life decision I have ever made with my faulty, cognitive synapses.
And I'm kidding. Please, don't be sending me hate mail about the true Christian thing, I'm kidding.
Our Lady of Vilnius Church, built by families of immigrant Lithuanian longshoremen, started out a century ago as a beloved worship space. Now, it's a coveted real estate asset.
In 2013, six years after the church was closed, it was sold for $13 million to one of the city's biggest developers. The following year, that company flipped it like a pancake to another developer for $18.4 million.
Now the yellow brick church near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel awaits demolition to make way for an 18-story luxury apartment house.
"It makes you cynical," says Christina Nakraseive, a former parishioner who supported the legal case against the church closing until it was rejected by the state's highest court. "It seems like it's all about real estate."
The issue has taken on added significance since the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, citing declining attendance, rising costs, and a looming priest shortage, announced plans to merge scores of parishes and close dozens of churches this year.

My biggest contribution so far to the Saskatchewan election
Category Archives: Twitter
Early anniversary gift
I had wanted to upgrade Wendy's Samsung Link for a while now as Virgin Mobile has had some entry level Android smartphones out for a while. Every time I went out and looked, they were sold out. I finally tracked one down today at Best Buy and decided to pick up a Samsung Galaxy 550. It's not cutting edge but it runs Foursquare, Twitter, Angry Birds, Flickr, and a bunch of other apps pretty well while being a lot cheaper than an iPhone. While I don't think it will make me want to give up my Blackberry, it's a pretty decent little phone. The bad part is now our competition on Foursquare is heating up.
While I am talking about Virgin Mobile, Visions Electronics is giving away free Virgin phones with no contracts. You can cancel a month into it if you want. They have the LG Rumor 2, the Samsung Gravity 3, and some others.
What has Warren Kinsella done lately?
The other day in the hospital, Mark complained to me about his Twitter user name. He doesn't like @coopermark and said it looked stupid. I replied to him that others have that form of username. When pressed who I was referring to, I said Warren Kinsella's username on Twitter is @kinsellawarren. Mark asked who Kinsella was and I said, he helps Liberal's win elections. Mark replied with, "So he hasn't done much lately."
A Year In Review
After reading Sean Shaw's review of 2010 for his blog, I started to look at the stats and demographics of jordoncooper.com. This is what I discovered.
The bulk of my visitors are from the United States and then Canada followed the by U.K. The site used to be blocked in China but I see the Great Firewall of China has invited me back in for 2010.
Of course there are countries that aren't so found of this site. In 2010 it received no visitors from the following countries; Western Sahara, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Central African Republic, Gabon, Mozambique, Somalia, Swaziland, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Then again Sean's blog could be sucking up all of the traffic from these countries.
My worldwide marketing efforts paid off and I received one visitor each from Cuba, Palau, New Caledonia, Greenland, Mali, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Maldives, Laos, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Saint Helena, Congo [DRC], Montserrat, and the Solomon Islands.
My march towards worldwide media domination is working as traffic has doubled in other parts of the world and I have received two visits from each of the following countries. Benin, Namibia, Grenada, Gibraltar, Cameroon, Kyrgyzstan, Haiti, Madagascar, Myanmar [Burma], Libya, Paraguay, Albania, Botswana, Yemen, Zambia, Moldova, and Réunion.
The top ten keywords of 2010
- jordon cooper
- jordan cooper (they could be looking for this guy)
- narcissistic personality disorder
- impact of facebook
- facebook impact on society
- ford festiva
- impact of facebook on society
- facebook impact
- salvation army christmas hampers
- social impact of facebook
As far as technology goes, most of you still use a horrible web browser. You may want to upgrade to Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
The most popular phone to browse the site is the iPhone/iPod touch, followed by the Blackberry, Android, and even some T-Mobile Sidekicks. In 2010 there was also one visitor running OS/2.
Some of the more interesting networks visiting the site more than ten times in 2010 were the RCMP, the Whitehouse (I have had readers now from three different administrations), CTV, Kentucky Department of Corrections, Department of Veterans Affairs, Apple Computer, Briarcrest College (which is interesting in that I used to be banned by them), Defense Research Establishment(apparently there is a military industrial complex), University of Tehran, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Justice (was researching a case I had posted about – someone called me to talk about it), USA Today (I think it is a sports blogger), The New York Times (over 1000 page views), Time Inc, Toronto Star, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Energy (nuclear secrets, second door on your left), U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, the Privy Council Office (page views show a loyal reader in the office), Oral Roberts University (?!), Halliburton, Foreign Affairs Magazine, Council on Foreign Relations, Department of Homeland Security, Department of National Defense (looks like a P.R. thing… looking at my posts on the F-35), Canadian Football League, Canadian House of Commons, Canadian Senate, Canadian Space Agency, Canadian Forces Command and Staff College, and CBS.
As far as Twitter goes, I am being followed by 1,132 people and am blocked by one Saskatoon city councilor.
Winds of protest blowing in Jordan?
It seems to be economic in nature
When rallies erupted in January, they were at first largely tribal affairs in the impoverished Bedouin villages where King Abdullah recruits his forces. But as they spread to Amman, the capital, and to other towns, other disgruntled Jordanians, including Islamists, teachers and leftists, have jumped on the bandwagon.
Not sure if King Abdullah's plan for dealing with the crisis works
In response, the king at first increased the meagre government pensions and salaries by 20 dinars ($28) a month; few of the beneficiaries sounded grateful. Then, on January 31st, he sacked his government, a time-honoured Jordanian device for fobbing off protest. The new prime minister, Marouf Bakhit, comes from the same Bedouin and military stock as most of the protesters. In a previous stint as prime minister, he placated his Bedouin troops by raising their salaries. Muhammad Sneid, who organised the first rural protest in the town of Dhiban, cheered the appointment of one of his own.
Maybe he could take some advice from his step-mother and start using Twitter.

Nothing about me is perfect except, perhaps, the level of comfort I've learned to carry with that fact.

Client Account Manager Interview
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at C-4 Analytics.
Applied online and was quickly called to set up an Interview. I interviewed with a few younger employees and then two senior bosses. Everyone was very nice although one of the bosses seemed like he had other places to be. The Interview was easy overall. They will hire you if you are smart and passionate.
The salary negotiation was tedious. They use the HR department as a middle man (HR doesnt have the ability to approve salary) and will low ball you. They will play mind games with you at this stage. Just be ready for it.
Also the non-competes they make you sign are ridiculous.

social media policies
Infinite innovation in the legal department
Truly innovative companies and law departments acknowledge that they need to apply the principle across the board, utilizing creative thinking in technology, communication and legal practice.
Mitigate risk by deploying social media policies
One of the biggest problems that companies face is that employees have a tendency to intermingle their personal and professional lives when it comes to social media. This creates all sorts of headaches.
When employees leave, Twitter followers up for grabs
While the world of social media continues to evolve, policies and agreements incorporating these provisions should minimize the risks associated with Twitter use and put employers in a better position to protect their interests.
Technology: The 10 best practices for drafting a lawful social media policy
Social media policies and work rules need to balance your company's goals while still permitting employee protected activities under the NLRA.
Compliance: Employers closely watching Supreme Court's ruling in Canning
Our consistent advice to employers since Canning has been to stay conservative and follow the existing NLRB rulings until the courts provide more definitive direction.
Technology: How to link employer work rules and social media policies
Many employers' social media work rules and policies violate the NLRA, causing the NLRB to strike down work rules and policies that it believes pose a threat to employees' right to engage in Section 7 protected activities.
Proactive employee relations practices = Lower risk of litigation for manufacturers
Often overlooked, proactive employee relations practices can play the deciding role in helping to prevent or, at a minimum, helping a company successfully and efficiently defend against, a legal claim from a rogue employee.
Labor and Employment Digest: January 2014
In labor and employment law, the voices of law firms inject the kind of color, insight and expertise that provide inside counsel and other legal professionals with a cornerstone of true understanding.
Social media compliance helps financial institutions manage online presence
The FFIEC has recently released new guidelines to help financial organizations effectively manage the potential risks caused by the use of social media.
Labor intensive: How to drink from the fire hose of workplace litigation
Not only do employers need to be able to navigate complex laws, but they also need to deal with sensitive issues that are historical hotbeds for employers.

New Xbox 360 exclusive Action-RPG announced
Certain Affinity has announced that Crimson Alliance is in development and will be getting an official reveal later today over at the Rooster Teeth Fan Event!
The game will also be present at E3, where gamers can try a playable demo of the title.
The game's official facebook page reveals that it is an Action-RPG title.
Crimson Alliance is the new action RPG from Certain Affinity! It takes everything we've learned about high action from working on shooters like Halo and Call of Duty, and everything we love about the fantasy genre, but gets rid of all that tedious backpack rummaging, and boring dialog!
They've also launched a teaser website for the game to mark the announcement.
The game is probably an XBLA title but we'll only know for sure tonight.

It's prom time. That means long pastel dresses, tuxes and flowers. Decorated gymnasiums. After prom parties. Happy times.
Unfortunately, prom time is when teens may choose to drink. This can lead to tragedy when someone gets behind the wheel. Car crashes are the number one cause of death for teens.
Kids do listen to parents, even when parents don't think they do. Tell the kids it's not OK to drink, not even during prom time. Let's keep these happy times happy.

Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Hermann Göring's second wife
Emma Johanna Henny "Emmy" Göring (née Sonnemann) (24 March 1893 – 8 June 1973) was a German actress and the second wife of Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Hermann Göring. She served as Adolf Hitler's hostess at many state functions and thereby staked a claim to the title of "First Lady of the Third Reich".[1]
Emmy Göring was born Emma Sonnemann in Hamburg, Germany on 24 March 1893 to a wealthy salesman. After schooling, she became an actress at the National Theatre in Weimar.
Married life[edit]
On her marriage to actor Karl Köstlin in late 1916, she became Emmy Köstlin.
On 10 April 1935, she married the prominent Nazi and Luftwaffe chief Hermann Göring, becoming Emmy Göring. It was also Göring's second marriage; his first wife, Carin, had died in October 1931.
Her and Göring's daughter Edda Göring was born on 2 June 1938. Edda was reported as being named after Countess Edda Ciano, eldest child of Benito Mussolini. Time reported: "Herr and Frau Göring became her fast friends."[2] However, in her autobiography, Emmy said her daughter was named after one of her friends.
Hermann Göring named his country house Carinhall after his first wife, while referring to his hunting lodge at Rominten (now Krasnolesye) – the Reichsjägerhof – as "Emmyhall".[citation needed]
Emmy was given an unsoliticed membership to Nazi Party during Christmas 1938.[3]
"First Lady of the Third Reich"[edit]
Emmy Göring served as Hitler's hostess at many state functions prior to the Second World War. This and her claim to be the "First Lady of the Third Reich" created much animosity between herself and Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun, whom she snubbed and openly despised. Hitler consequently issued angry instructions to Hermann Göring demanding that Emmy treat Eva with more respect; one of the outcomes of Emmy's condescending attitude toward Eva was that she was no longer invited to Hitler's Bavarian retreat, the Berghof.[4] As for Eva Braun, she allegedly never forgave Emmy for having assumed the role of "First Lady of the Reich".[5]
As wife of one of the richest and most powerful men in Europe, she received much public attention, was constantly photographed,[5] and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle well into the Second World War. Her husband owned mansions, estates and castles in Austria, Germany and Poland and was a major beneficiary of the Nazis' confiscation of art and wealth from Jews and others deemed enemies by the Nazi regime. Her husband celebrated their daughter's birth by ordering 500 planes to fly over Berlin (he stated he would have flown 1,000 planes as a salute for a son).
After the end of the war, a German denazification court convicted her of being a Nazi and sentenced her to one year in jail. When she was released, 30 percent of her property was confiscated and she was banned from the stage for five years. By the time of her husband's death at Nuremberg, she and her daughter had been reduced to living in a two-room cottage with no running water or electricity; and she, whose gowns had once required multiple closets, now owned only two dresses.[citation needed]
Later years[edit]
Some years after her release from jail, Emmy Göring was able to secure a small flat in a new building in the rebuilt city of Munich and remained there for the rest of her life. In her final years, she suffered from sciatica. She wrote an autobiography, An der Seite meines Mannes (1967), published in English as My Life with Goering in 1972. She died in Munich in 1973.
Emmy Göring is caricatured as the character "Lotte Lindenthal" in Klaus Mann's novel Mephisto: Roman einer Karriere (1936).

Sri Lanka's controversial Buddhist organization condemns HR report by UK government
Wed, Apr 17, 2013, 09:42 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Apr 17, Colombo: The controversial Buddhist organization in Sri Lanka, the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) has condemned the UK government's 2012 Foreign & Commonwealth Office Report UK on Sri Lanka.
The organization has stated that the segment on Sri Lanka in the UK Government Report and its specific note on Bodu Bala Sena are baseless.
The BBS issuing a statement said the UK report has stated that, "A nationalist group called the Bodu Bala Sena (Buddhist army) increased campaigns against religious minorities," but the organization's name meant 'Forces of Buddhist Power' and it is not an Army as specified by the UK.
"We categorically deny that in 2012 we have done any campaigns against any religious groups. But we did have two press conferences on how the Halal Certification was issued illegally. This was done within the democratic rights enjoyed by Sri Lankans," BBS noted.
"Therefore, we have requested to Boycott Halal Certification by Buddhists. It is done in the UK as well by respective groups (Please refer to https://www.facebook.com/BOYCOTT.HALAL.UK). We never demanded to ban Halal in Sri Lanka as it is a right of Muslims," the organization added.
The BBS further noted, "We would like to inform the general public that authorities who compiled this report had not practiced democratic procedures of questioning or checking with the accused party, in this case Bodu Bala Sena, about the allegations made in this report. We strongly believe British Officials who compiled these reports should respect the UK Taxpayers from whom their salaries are being paid. They should have done a proper investigation before compiling such reports, especially making such allegations tarnishing the image or goodwill of such institutions. The UK Taxpayers pay salaries to British officials not just to compile reports based on mass media and letters they have received. They should not write reports based on news but accurate information. We strongly feel that this is a violation of our democratic rights."
The BBS said it would complain to the UK Government in London as well as to the UK High Commissioner in near future on this issue.

T'Pol's candlelit quarters. T'Pol and B'Stiller sit on the floor, facing one another, and T'Pol says, "Mind-meld?" B'Stiller explains that it's an "ancient technique, abandoned centuries ago" that helps Vulcans access each other's thoughts and emotions. T'Pol asks how the melding happens. Do they use a melder's torch? …What? I'm just so BORED. "I'd begin by creating a telepathic link," B'Stiller explains, "and we'd be able to share our memories, our thoughts. In essence, we'd become one mind. It's quite an experience but it is profoundly intimate. Are you prepared for that?" T'Pol doesn't say anything, so B'Stiller suggests a more "traditional" form of "guided meditation." "But it wouldn't be nearly as effective," he finishes. The camera zooms in on T'Pol's face as she says, "Proceed." I've been noticing that they haven't given T'Pol the typical Vulcan eyebrows on this show. Instead of actually making her look more like an alien being, they've given her a thickened-Kim-Novak look, which is more along the lines of traditional human beauty and looks, and is also more of a real eyebrow arch, rather than what other Vulcans seem to have, which is more like a one-way slant, going up. Know what I mean? It's like a circumflex accent, versus accent grave or accent aigu. Pretty cowardly of them if you ask me, and I know no one did, but I'm recapping and you're pretty much a captive audience, so there!
Anyway. B'Stiller unfolds his hands and raises them to T'Pol's face. He braces one hand on her shoulder and spreads the fingers of the other along her chin, cheekbone, and temple. Not quite as good as Spock, but we get the general idea. "It's all right," he whispers, "close your eyes. Try to focus on my voice." T'Pol closes her eyes. "My mind to your mind. Your thoughts to my thoughts. Our minds are merging. Our minds are becoming one," B'Stiller intones. T'Pol shakes him off and tells him it's not happening for her. B'Stiller tells her she's resisting and repositions his hands, saying, "Now, relax." He repeats his invocation, and T'Pol's eyes close and flutter, as if Jolene is rolling her eyeballs into the back of her head. B'Stiller shudders, and suddenly, T'Pol's eyes fly open and she gasps. "Am I with you?" B'Stiller asks, in his and T'Pol's head. "Yes," T'Pol's thoughts answer. "Can you sense my thoughts?" B'Stiller's mind asks. "Yes," T'Pol's mind answers. Aloud, B'Stiller tells her she's doing well and orders her to think about that night in San Fran when she heard the saxophone gently weep. We see Babushka T'Pol walking down the street again. "Good," B'Stiller says, a slightly maniacal glint in his eye. "Now listen. Can you hear the music?" T'Pol's eyes seem to fill with tears. I don't understand getting all worked up over a little Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Arkestra, MMCLI. B'Stiller orders T'Pol to follow the music and the memory. Babushka T'Pol goes into the restaurant again. "I can see why you were drawn to this place," B'Stiller says. "It's unlike anything on Vulcan. I'm not surprised it triggered an emotional response." Why -- is there an orgy going on, or just a bunch of people wandering around being illogical? Now, B'Stiller appears to be with Babushka T'Pol in the jazz café. B'Stiller asks T'Pol what else she felt besides "invigorated." "I don't know," Babushka T'Pol answers. B'Stiller insists that she does know; she just isn't used to describing emotions. "You experienced other things," he supplies for her, breathing hard. "Excitement at breaking protocol, apprehension about getting caught, and the music…the music made you feel…elated. Allow yourself to feel these emotions again."

Merchandise is a band fighting against the easy categorization reserved for abbreviated biographies. The project is equal parts punk misanthropy, maudlin balladeering, fine art, low humor, classical study, psychedelic spacecasing, mad science and pop genius.
Formed as a trio in Tampa, Florida in 2008, the band has undergone ceaseless revision and reinvention. After putting out numerous records and tapes on independent punk labels and touring the underground, the band truly hit its stride with the release of their second LP Children of Desire in April 2012. In addition to a very warm reception from fans, the record received praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NME, Spin, and numerous other critics and journals.
2013 saw the band releasing Totale Nite on Iowa City's Night People label and touring extensively throughout America and Europe.
Merchandise's first album for 4AD, After The End, will be released on 25th August 2014.
Merchandise have shared the latest mixtape from their WMix series, as they head out on the road for a string of Florida dates with Parquet Courts.
Relaunched last year, this sequence is a guest mix by friend-of-the-band David West (Rat Columns/Rank Xerox/Lace Curtain/Total Control/LIBERATION) and features music by Chet Baker...
Ending 2014 on a high, Merchandise have shared a new WMix by Carson, entitled 'Berlin'. You can listen via Mixcloud, or in the embedded player below.
The group have also shared a 'Making Of' film...

Madison police are putting a safety plan in place ahead of Saturday's Final Four game.
Last week thousands of students rushed State Street to celebrate the Badgers' 64-63 overtime win against Arizona.
There were 50 officers on hand, but they didn't make any arrests, and there weren't any injuries.
This Saturday, in addition to city, Capitol and University of Wisconsin officers and mounted patrol will be on hand.
Officials also plan to set up a command center and use surveillance cameras to keep everyone safe.
"I think if we take a look at this team and the character of this team, I don't think there are any of us Badgers fans that are going to disrespect them or embarrass them. I don't think Badgers fans want to embarrass this university, this city or state," Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said.
In the shadows of the endurance races of the 1920s and the entertainment spectacles of the 1980s, roller derby has emerged from the darkness, exploding with energy and character, as one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
But instead of slowly creeping out of the shadows of the past derby scene, these derby ladies are full-fledged skating out into the spotlight, dressed as anything from superheroes to vampires, with passion in their hearts and a thirst for high-contact competition.
Mad Rollin' Dolls, Madison's flat track roller derby league, is in its 10th season.

seeking companions for veggie health
I didn't realize that there was a forum dedicated to Companion Planting, until someone in the Vegetable Gardening forum made it a point to tell me I posted in the wrong forum.
At any rate...I'll just re-iterate my questions below now that I am in the correct forum.
I am planting my own seedlings in raised beds next week as well as in my various-sized Geo Pot containers (which will reside in my fenced-in garden area in the walk paths between my raised beds).
My garden is completely fenced in but until recently I have never given much thought to naturally keeping unwanted insects out of the garden.
I've been reading up on this a lot and watching tutorials. I've come to the conclusion that I should plant marigolds and/or nasturtiums in both my raised beds and my GeoPots. Being in Zone 6, does this sound about right?
What would be a good distribution of these flowers, one to two flowers per Geo Pot depending on size (20 gallon, 10 gallon, 10 gallon, 5 gallon)? One flower every linear foot of raised bed? At the corners of the beds?
Do I only need to plant around specify veggies? Here is my list: tomatoes, cukes, eggplant, sweet peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, lettuce, dill, basil, parsley.
I've seen a video where basil is planted in between tomato plants once the tomatoes have grown a bit. The basil won't grow as it normally would if planted correctly, however it is supposed to act as an insect deterrent.
My garden space is limited, so the bare minimum of companion plants would be sufficient, so long as they are beneficial to the health of my veggies.
Below is a link to a video I recently made of my garden (on an unrelated topic). It should give you an idea of my layout (minus the Geo Pots which are temporarily located elsewhere). I welcome any suggestions as to what to plant and where to plant it. I bought some marigolds yesterday but didn't plant them yet.

A new lease on life for the mysterious lost bank accounts of Switzerlandtags: World War II, Holocaust, Switzerland, Time Magazine, Swiss banks
One of the most enduring myths associated with Swiss banks is the money of "unknown" origin that has been hidden in their coffers for generations. Because of a number of laws enacted in the past 15 years, Switzerland's financial institutions are now tightly regulated, but at least one mystery still remains: who owns hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of unclaimed assets languishing in the nation's banks — and how long will they be kept there?
Earlier this month, Switzerland's parliament set a 62-year deadline for the recovery of unclaimed assets, which are roughly estimated at anywhere from $100 million to $600 million. This means that the banks must keep inactive accounts for six decades after the last contact with the customer, and then turn the assets over to the Swiss government. The new time limit is longer than allowed in most other countries, which liquidate dormant accounts after five to 30 years. And while the deadline is part of larger reforms of the banking sector, it is born out of the scandal that erupted in the 1990s over the dormant World War II accounts stashed in Swiss banks by Jews fleeing Nazi persecution....

Inputs for RCA plugs
I have 3 components that have to be used with the Red-White-Yellow RCA plugs.
Is there a Monitor or TV that has 3 RCA Inputs on it?
I think I can get by with just using only the Yellow (Video) one of the three plugs if I have to cause I only need the video mostly from the items I am using.
Can the wire be snipped and put the end of a HDMI on it? (smiles)
Nice to see you.
Z is correct convertor cables are available. Never personally used one though.
I've seen where HD TVs have aux inputs that are three wire RCA. Both of mine do.
Can't guarantee it for all situations, but my experience is video does require only one wire. The other two wires are channeled for left and right sound.
Would something like this help? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Way-Audio-Video-AV-RCA-Switch-Selector-Box-Splitter-with3-RCA-Cable-/221118058943
Hey Zep---THANKS! That just may be the solution to my problem. I didn't even give it a thought as to there being such. I shall finish clicking to find on those sites. (I peeked then came back here)
Hi DA, Nice to C U Too! (smiles)
I am using two RCA inputs on my TV (like you have) but had to dig out my tiny Sony TV for the 3rd component hookup. My old Mitsubishi TV had all three where I could switch to the one I wanted to see without a hassle. I have my DVR hooked up to the Composite ones.
I was wanting to get a monitor or TV I could hook all three to use to set below my TV on a shelf.
Here is my TV now----
This is my old TV hookup and I used one in front for my 3rd hookup.
chuggerguy, I couldn't get that to open. Will try again later.
OK, I did get to see what chuggerguy had posted and looked ideal but? How does it work? Do I have to get up and go to it to do the switching opposed to from my remote control? (easy chair)
Hope I explained what I meant here.
DA QUOTE:Assuming your main video is HDMI, could one of your components be antenna connected in? HUH?, (me no understand)
No HDMI used and Antenna is hooked to cable TV.
On board now. I thought your TV service was HDMI.
I have never seen a AB switch with a remote, but a cursory Google shows they do have a limited existence. Without the remote you would have to get up to change the input.
If you look closely at the unit tagged by CG (this is an ABC switch-three options) in the center above the word INPUT there is a horizontal three position slide selector. The three circles above the selector are named Inputs A-B-C or 1-2-3. I can't tell from the picture. The unit is displaying input B or 2 selected.
The RCA-HDMI convertor is still looking good, if it works. A stop at your local Radio Shack may answer all your questions.
I did not get a chance to see about the cable mentioned above but just now had time to search the net and seen this.
QUOTE:I think there is a cable made with RCA on one end and HDMI on the other.
To my understanding, the RCA cable to HDMI isn't?
Has to be connected to a converter then to the HDMI port.
Will take a run to Radio Shack today to find out.
Here is a link that might be useful: RCA to HDMI
Welcome my friend. Keep us informed.
YAY! Problem Solved!
I went to Radio Shack and got a Component/s-Video A/V selector Switch WITH a remote control for $9.98 on sale.
(Hope it didn't drop so much in price cause it turned out to be no good?)
It is 4-In/1-Out. Has 4 buttons to press on the remote control.
The only thing I was wondering is, do I (should I) have to unplug it all the time or can I leave it plugged in to the power outlet steady?
This post was edited by urlee on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 8:26
Good for you.
Unless the instructions say different, continuous should be fine. I would go out on a limb here and say it was designed for that. You could also call the Shack and get some advice from them. Save your receipt and product paperwork as to the warranty just in case.
RadioShack makes an AB switch with remote but says out of stock so don't know if it's discontinued or what. Last time I went to ours to get one the guy asked if I wanted the one with remote but it was much more expensive than the one on the site and I didn't need it. Before that I had no clue they made one. Mary

For the children? Let's think of our own children's future first
To The Daily Sun,
The State of Massachusetts will be accepting some of the influx of the illegal children/teens crossing the border. These children/teens are held in deplorable conditions. After they go through the system, they are given a bus ticket to where they want to go and dropped off at the bus station. To think that some of illegal children/teens will not make their way to New Hampshire is naïve.
Gov. Hassan is not aware of the state of New Hampshire being asked to take some of these illegal children/teens. Not aware? She should be aware.
So in the future, if not already, New Hampshire could be receiving these illegal children/teens. Funds will be needed for these new additions to the school and medical systems. Housing will have to be provided if they are not going to a relative already here. This costs money. This costs the towns and states money. This is an added burden to budgets.
Towns in Massachusetts are having these problems. Manchester already has additional homeless people for whom it is responsible to provide housing.
The Democratic House voted against a bill that would allow scholarship money to send their children to the schools of their choosing.
I keep hearing the Democrats say, "for the children". Yet they vote against programs for children that are citizens of this country.
I feel for these children, but it is not the responsibility of the U.S. to take care of the rest of the world. We can no longer afford it.
For the children? Let's think of our children first. There are many children in this country, in this state, that need help.
Gov. Perry is sending about 1,000 National Guard to the border. He asked the president to do this. But the president has not acted. Therefore Gov. Perry has to act. The cost will then have to be covered by the State of Texas. An additional cost to Texans, besides the influx in their school and hospitals. A cost that they would not have to have if the president enforced our borders.
Kudos to Gov. Perry. I hope other Southern governors will have his courage. We must stand with them in protecting our sovereignty.
We must have secure borders now.

Rumors about disease carried by migrant kids are nonsense
To The Daily Sun,
Once again our astute letter writer Russ Wiles has ventured into an area he really knows nothing about. In his most recent letter he states that the children coming across the border have all sorts of disease — such as TB, chicken pox, lice, foot and mouth disease, bacterial infections. I find it interesting that Mr. Wiles does not site his sources, but knowing him from past encounters his sources are usually laughable at best.
I do not know about you Russ, but I find that Dr. Mark Ward, the president of Texas Pediatric Society, is probably a bit more knowledgeable about medical issues than you, especially on what is happening on the border. Dr Ward says, "While some of the kids are indeed ill, they don't have any(thing) exotic or unexpected. The illness are what I see on a daily basis at my regular office." He goes on to say that he has not seen an active case of TB.
Finally, I think these are words we should all adhere to: "The children deserve medical care, we need to take care of them." Our country, the greatest country in the world needs to step up and care for these children no matter where they come from. I side with Dr. Ward and the other dedicated medical care workers lending a hand in caring for these children. Compassion demands it. Our Christian values demand it. And rumors presented as facts should be called out for what they are: nonsense.
Many of these children come with vaccination cards and the rates of vaccination for certain disease is actually higher in these countries than in America, this according to the World Bank.
From my travels around the world in my career, one thing I have found out to be universal, a child crying sounds the same no matter where they come from. And if a crying child does not touch your heart nothing ever will.

Andrew Hemingway from same mold as Gates, Jobs & Zuckerberg
To The Daily Sun,
Sometimes we forget that young people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and many others with new ideas, skills, and energy changed our world for the better.
Andrew Hemingway is another such young man. Andrew has entered the race for governor so he can put his formidable skills, energy and ideas to work solving New Hampshire's problems, e.g., jobs and opportunities, especially for young people, and education.
Andrew is a smart, articulate, experienced, and accomplished young man. Although only 32, Andrew has already faced and overcome the challenges of creating multiple successful New Hampshire businesses. Andrew is committed to using this experience to creating an environment that generates many more good jobs and opportunities.
As a father of young children, Andrew has studied our public education problems and is committed to enabling each New Hampshire student to get an education that prepares him or her for the future.
For more information see: http://www.andrewhemingway.com/
As governor, Andrew Hemingway will work to make New Hampshire the best place to live, to be educated, to work, and to find opportunities for better lives. Join me, support, and vote for Andrew Hemingway for governor of New Hampshire.

Universal health care is an economic issue as well as a moral one
To The Daily Sun,
The Lakes Region of New Hampshire needs more good-paying jobs that will create and sustain a middle class that will have the resources to purchase the goods and services of our businesses.
Henry Ford knew this when he raised the wages of his workers so that they could afford to buy his cars. The Lakes Region offers entrepreneurs a fabulous place to live, inexpensive land, and a productive workforce. To have a productive work force, you need healthy, educated workers.
Before the Affordable Care Act, the U.S. spent 30 to 50 percent more per person than our industrial competitors, while getting worse health-care outcomes. A quarter of our population was uninsured. Universal health care is not just a moral issue, but an economic one as well. The ACA and Medicaid expansion will bend the cost curve and will wind up saving money.
Many in the state Legislature are trying to delay or kill Common Core. The roots of Common Core standards grew out of Achieve, a nonprofit reform group founded in the mid-1990s aimed at crafting education standards that would lead to a workforce with the qualifications necessary for business. The initial state standards were a product of two governors — Georgia Republican Sonny Perdue and Delaware Democrat Jack Markell — working together at the National Governors Association in the late 2000s.
I am voting for Nick Vazzana for state representative from Sandwich, Moultonborough and Tuftonboro. He has been an entrepreneur and speaks their language, and is dedicated to bringing jobs to the area. There is now more social mobility in Canada and Europe than in the U.S. Let's restore the American dream.

Hamas had to know what launching thousands of missiles would bring
To The Daily Sun,
Looks like death and destruction is overtaking even more people in the Middle East again. So much for the Arab Spring.
One thing, it's not like Hamas wasn't asking for it; they had to know that launching thousands of missiles at civilian targets in Israel would draw out a response. They also made sure that many, many of their children would be killed by using them as human shields around their launch sites. Now they tell the world to look at what the evil Jews have done.
Let's be clear here it's Hamas that are the evil ones, but already the usual anti-Israel, anti-Semitic crowed are eating up the lie. Hamas is the moral equivalent of the KKK and it amazes me that many people here in the U.S. that hate and despise the KKK can still condemn Israel and express support for an organization that uses the same bigoted hatred and violence against the Jews as the KKK did against blacks here.
Russia, it is becoming clear, shot down a civilian airliner up in the Ukraine today. I wonder if this is what Obama imagined when he promised Putin he would be more "flexible" after he won re-election? Well, when you make a deal with the devil expect to get blood on your hands I guess. The question now is what will the president have to say? Will he condemn the Russian aggression? Will he draw a red line in the sand and tell Putin there will be consequences? Or will he fly off to another fund-raiser like he usually does and stop for a round of golf?
Bet a coffee and a doughnut it will be the latter.
Foreign policy, he don't need no stinking foreign policy.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?http://mygaylondon.co.uk

Softwood cutting success!
hummersteveApril 20, 2012
Or maybe partial success. I took a peak at the newspaper wrapped hardwood cuttings not anything happening there at 2 days short of 2 weeks. I tried half a dozen softwood cuttings sort of chopping up my prized rosebush. Now to the point I discover one cutting with promise after only 9 days now thats fast. Maybe in a few days some of the others will show something. Following are several shots and my setup. The first couple of shots are shadow shots but they show it best. Im not sure what I do now anyway its back in the medium. This doesnt surprise me much though as ambitious as the parent plan has been.
I just made a little wire cage with saran wrap. the mix is peat, vermiculite and perlite.


text: Airport runways more dangerous than flying Living Living Food & Travel United States Jennifer Mattson on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM Aircraft from Indigo (L), Air India (C) and Spicejet (R) jostle for space on a runway at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on July 13, 2011. Some bad news for frequent fliers: airport runways are more dangerous than actually flying, according to The New York Times. The report said since 2008, there are on average three incidents daily, or 1,000 a year, in which a plane or other vehicle mistakenly gets on a runway. The report was not all bad news, however. Recent technological advances have reduced the number of accidents in the air such as crashes "into mountains and other obstacles, two of the most common causes of accidents," the Times reported. "These incidents remind us how vulnerable we are when procedures or people fail," Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, told the Times. USA TODAY said the news comes as the NTSB reviews two close calls at runways at Chicago's O'Hare airport, the second-busiest airport in the United States. According to the NTSB, two major jets came "within a few hundred feet of each other" in separate incidents in May and August 2011.
