Iran's Fictional Flotilla
By Christopher Albon
My jaw dropped when Iran boldly announced that it was sending a Red Crescent flotilla of its own to Gaza. This was going to be a high seas confrontation between Iran and Israel, two bitter enemies. However, the entire time I was thinking about the flotilla, a little voice in the back of my head kept saying: "This is Iran, the masters of inaction, beware". But I did not listen. The Iranian flotilla was going to happen, and it was going to be a big freaking deal.
Now, it looks like I should have listened to that little voice. The Iranian Red Crescent quietly announced last week that two ships of the flotilla were being delayed due to lack of coordination and a change of cargo with "no definite" date of departure. The third ship of the flotilla seems to have to disappeared entirely, or at least is unworthy of mentioning. The real message is clear: the Iranian flotilla is not happening.
Lastly, there is one interesting sidebar to this story. On June 21st, media outlets reported a fleet of one Israeli and 11 American warships passing south through the Suez Canal. Later that day, Galrahn serendipitously discussed the phantom fleet reports and the power of fleets to change national behavior. Why serendipitously? Because Iran announced the delay of the Red Crescent flotilla on the same day as the phantom fleet's Suez passage. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Ashton big on ideas, not cash for campaign
Federal NDP leadership race
OTTAWA -- Manitoba MP Niki Ashton may have less money in the bank than some of her opponents, but the hardy northerner isn't letting it push her out of the NDP leadership race.
Quebec MP Romeo Saganash, who was second-last in the fundraising race, dropped out of the contest Friday, citing family needs and a lack of finances.
"People send you good wishes, but they don't send you money," he said in a news release.
Ashton, who raised $7,337 less than Saganash before Christmas, is not following suit.
"My goal is not to be the Mitt Romney of the NDP leadership race," said Ashton. "My goal is not to have a big-money campaign but to focus on innovative ideas and innovative ways of getting them out there."
According to financial filings released by Elections Canada last week, Ashton pulled in $10,215 from 58 donors in November and December last year. It put her dead last among the nine people who started in the race and is less than one-tenth of what the front-runners raised.
About 10 per cent of her total came from herself and her father, Manitoba provincial cabinet minister Steve Ashton. They both donated $600 to her campaign.
Ashton said her campaign has dozens of volunteers and she is utilizing social media and other non-traditional means to get her message out.
She added it's important to remember she was the last candidate to join. She announced Nov. 8, nearly two months after the first candidate -- former party president Brian Topp -- joined.
She also said since the new year "fundraising is growing exponentially."
Ashton has travelled to eight of the 10 provinces, many of them several times. She is focusing a lot of attention on Western Canada and particularly Saskatchewan, which doesn't have any sitting MPs but does have more than 10,000 member votes up for grabs.
To the end of 2011, Topp had raised the most money, with $156,597 from 304 people, followed by Quebec MP Thomas Mulcair with $145,863 from 621 donors. Toronto MP Peggy Nash was third with $108,223. Nova Scotia MP Robert Chisholm dropped out of the contest before Christmas, so there are now six people left. B.C. MP Nathan Cullen, Ontario MP Paul Dewar and Nova Scotia pharmacist Martin Singh are also running.
Ashton, 29, is the youngest candidate in the leadership race and the only one from Manitoba. She said nothing is going to push her out the field of candidates before the March 24 leadership convention in Toronto.
She disputed comments she is running only to raise her profile.
"If I just wanted experience, I'd take a trip or something," she said. "This is a huge undertaking and it's a very serious undertaking."
One NDP insider said by running, Ashton has likely secured herself a position in cabinet as regional minister for Manitoba, if the NDP ever forms government. She has impressed in debates and is fluent not just in English and French but also Spanish and Greek.
Pat Martin is currently the only other NDP MP from Manitoba. He said Tuesday he won't endorse anybody in the race. Previously, Martin said he'd back the candidate who promised some co-operation with the Liberals in order to defeat the Conservatives.
Cullen is the only one who has, however, Martin said he's going to be a panelist for the convention and will remain neutral.
Ashton has banked her campaign on the theme of "new politics," in which she says equality is the goal. That includes equality for aboriginal Canadians when it comes to such things as living standards, education and economics, equality of marginalized groups, equality for young people and new Canadians.

When the Greener Grass Is Concrete; Some New Yorkers Find Suburban Life Is Far From a Dream Come True
Published: September 12, 1999
(Page 3 of 3)
Education of three children, Oliver, 15; Lucas, 11, and Aron, 10, was the issue when Randi Marie Hoffman and her husband, Janos Marton, decided five years ago to move from their spacious Upper West Side brownstone to a huge, ramshackle Victorian in the Westchester County town of Ardsley. The reason: the family simply could not afford to send all three to private school.
Yet despite the good reputation of Ardsley's schools, Ms. Hoffman and Dr. Marton, a ponytailed psychiatrist who heads the Living Museum at Creedmoor Hospital in Queens, have been disappointed, at least on the high school level, so much so that Oliver is now in his second year at a Massachusetts boarding school and the couple is considering sending the younger boys to private high school as well.
''It's a dumbed-down culture here,'' said Ms. Hoffman, a tall, willowy independent-film maker with a penchant for scarves and dark glasses. ''The minute the kids hit middle school, to be intelligent is not an admirable quality.''
In her opinion, ''The suburban public school system is more about management, about controlling the students, rather than truly educating them.'' And while suburban school systems like Ardsley's have impressive reputations, that, she suggested, is based on test scores rather than students' overall achievement. ''There's no test for creativity,'' Ms. Hoffman pointed out.
Sex, Drugs and One Pizzeria: The Kids Aren't All Right
The lure of suburbia tends to be strongest for younger families, enticed by the halcyon image of a backyard sandbox and quiet streets where youngsters can ride bikes and romp with neighborhood children. But parents often fail to consider what life will be like when the little ones become teen-agers.
''We find families who moved to suburbia when their children were young are moving back to the city once their children are older,'' said Peter Mara, president of William B. May. A city child in eighth or ninth grade can use public transportation and not have to depend on an adult with a car, something that gives young people a sense of freedom.
This was the case for Stephanie Jameson, who was 15 when she and her father, Patrick, a divorced single parent, moved from Madison, N.J., to the Upper West Side. Their move was driven by their dissatisfaction with Madison High, where Stephanie's grades had started to fall.
''In Madison, there just wasn't much for the kids to do, maybe one pizza parlor where they would hang out,'' said Mr. Jameson, a writer who describes himself as ''typically Irish-looking,'' with blue eyes and dark hair. ''I remember Stephanie telling me, 'All the kids do here is sex and drugs.' When you have teens with cars, money and nothing to do, it's a dangerous combination.'' By the following autumn, they had moved to Manhattan, where Stephanie was able to take the subway to St. Ann's, a Brooklyn Heights private school.
Stephanie spoke emotionally about her time in the suburbs. ''I felt like I was living in a wasteland,'' she said. By contrast, she found her city peers ''better able to avoid getting lost in hazards of teen-agedom.''
Welcome, Neighbor. Here's the Bill
New Yorkers heading to the suburbs to save money are often rudely awakened by numerous unexpected expenses and hidden costs. Basic -- and sharply escalating -- housing costs are a factor everywhere, in the suburbs as well as in New York City. Manhattan private school tuition can cost $20,000 per year, but property taxes in choice suburbs can be punishing, too. According to Linda Peterson, tax receiver for New Castle, which includes Chappaqua, average annual property taxes are $13,000 to $14,000. Add the expense of home and property maintenance, along with the cost of commuting and the need for two cars, and expenses can mount up.
House painting (exterior painting can cost $10,000 to $20,000), lawn maintenance ($150 to $300 a month during the season), gardening and pest control are significant costs and can quickly match the costs of city living.
''Those who thought they'd be saving money by moving out of the city are usually disappointed,'' Mr. Thomas of William B. May said.
One-time city dwellers who return home are often delighted the moment they arrive. Even their children seem relieved, as if a preference for urban over suburban living had been encoded in their genes.
After Gabby and Julian Agin-Liebes, now 11, returned to the city, they promptly set out to explore TriBeCa, their new home, relieved to be mobile without a car. They are happily settling into sixth grade in Intermediate School 89.
''They are emancipated,'' said their mother. ''They are empowered. They've never had such independence. I know it's going to be good for them.''
She feels especially vindicated in light of their neighbors' responses to their decision. Many of their suburban friends simply did not understand their choice, and some, Dr. Agin said, ''made us feel as if we were doing something terrible to our children.''
'' 'How could you do this?' they would ask. Some of their kids told ours, 'You're going to get murdered in New York.' I think they expect us to move back and admit we made a mistake.''
But for Dr. Agin and others, the move to suburbia was the mistake.
''I always regretted leaving the city,'' she said. ''I never adjusted. Now my kids call themselves city kids. That makes it all worthwhile.''

SCIENCE SUNDAY. The issue of nuclear weapons is a topic not openly discussed by the American public. This has happened while nuclear weapons have been stockpiled in vast and increasing amounts. American nuclear policy needs to be aired openly. Bob Farquhar, a member of High Street UUC in Macon Georgia, has been attending DUUC since he arrived in November to "winter" here in the north. Bob is a retired Air Force Senior NCO and Cold War Warrior who lived with the realities of nuclear weapons and their effects for 24 years during the Cold War, realities we still face 23 years after that war ended. Bob has been a student of nuclear weapons, their history and policies for over 15 years and writes extensively to educate the general public about this issue. He is a member of Georgia WAND (Women's Action for New Direction) and other non-profits and is on the board of Nuclear Watch South in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of his advocacy and work educating people, he has written a book, "Duck and Cover: A Pictorial History of Nuclear Weapons". On Easter Sunday, April 5th, Bob will take us on a pictorial journey of nuclear weapons, highlighting various aspects of those weapons and showing where we are at now in our nuclear weapons journey. Come join with us in exploring the 70 years since we entered the atomic age.

We will explore how the elementary subatomic particles of the known universe, and the four fundamental forces of nature are related to one another. We will also talk about the deep link between the laws of conservation (e.g. the conservation of energy, of momentum, of charge, etc.) with symmetries of physical systems. This talk will begin to tie together topics we have previously covered in particle physics, mathematics, relativity and lead ultimately back to considerations of the Big Bang and the overall properties of the cosmos. This will position us to wrap up the year in May with a talk on cosmology and multiple universe (or multiverse) ideas.

Re: iPhone 5 iOS 7 how do I reduce wifi data usage? in response to MplsApple
It sounds like you've tried some very good remedies. A couple of additional thoughts:
Have you removed Game Center based apps? Game Center can run checks to make sure you are still a high scorer, etc.
Have you considered contacting your cellular carrier and simply finding an international roaming plan supplied by them? That would allow you to keep your number for texting and calls, but not have to deal with the pocket broadband. It sounds like you're just planning to use the texting and/or calls very rarely.
Hopefully you know you can check cellular data use at Settings > Cellular > Cellular Usage (near the bottom). You could dry run only using cellular data at home to see what is consuming your data. Or if you simply keep your home cellular service while abroad, you can monitor your progress while traveling.

Re: iPhone 5 iOS 7 how do I reduce wifi data usage? in response to sberman
Are there any more recent news on this topic? Maybe changes coming with iOS 8?
There are many scenarios, where you may use a limited connection over wifi (tethering from Android to iOS, from iOS to iOS, mobile access points, limited data plans at some relative's place, ...). Windows 8 has a setting to declare a wifi connection as metered in the Wifi connection menu. Android 4.1+ supposedly does this automatically, if the wifi source is another Android 4.1+ device, and otherwise has a somewhat hidden setting for that purpose. Both make the device treat those Wifi connections as if they were mobile data (and often they are).
On iOS7 at least I know no method to do the same, hoping very much for iOS8. (Note that while the intelligent-hotspot feature hopefully includes this, it is no help in any use-case, that includes a non-apple device).

Final Thoughts: Didactic Year of PA School
|March 26, 2015
|Posted by Madeline @ Food, Fitness, and Family under PA School
Yesterday was a pretty amazing day. I finished my didactic year of PA school. When I started this journey in January of last year this day was a mere dot on the horizon. I knew it was going to take innumerable hours of hard work, intense commitment, some tears, and maybe even a little pain. There were many times that first quarter when Bryn was only a month old that I wondered if this was even possible.
Each day was a tiny step up that mountain. Every day I juggled my life as a student with my family life … sometimes I found a glimpse of balance, other times I felt incredible burned out. But the 15 months went by faster than I ever could imagine and here I am just 10 days from starting my clinical rotations.
When I look back on this last year I feel incredibly grateful.
⇒I am grateful for the opportunity to be here. PA school is insanely competitive and getting this chance in the first place was an incredible blessing. It's an amazing feeling knowing you're doing exactly what you were born to do.
⇒I am grateful to my family. Without Chris' unwavering support there is no way I could be doing this. He is my rock, my anchor, and the most amazing life partner. Our parents have all stepped up and been there whenever we needed them. It is taking a village to get me through my program but I am lucky enough to have the best village ever. I also have really awesome and resilient kiddos.
⇒I am grateful for the amazing faculty at my school. Not only are they incredibly talented educators, they legitimately care about their students. They cared not only about our academic performance but about our personal wellbeing. They were the biggest cheerleaders we could have and were always available for mini-breakdowns.
⇒I am grateful for my classmates. All 70 of us are still here. PA school would have been miserable without them. The people in my class are so much more than colleagues – they are my family now. It was a bizarre feeling leaving campus yesterday knowing that I wouldn't see some of them until June. This is the most unique, intelligent, compassionate, and determined group of people I know and I fortunate to have them in my life.
Overall I learned a lot, experienced more, and I know I am ready for this next road ahead. Clinicals are going to be a whole different ball game and I am up for the challenge. I am looking forward to learning SO much more and being with patients every single day.
I want to thank all of you for all the encouraging words you have given me over the last year. They have lifted me up when I needed it! I can't wait to share this next chapter with you guys

The Perfect Sandwich
|March 24, 2015
A turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread. That to me is the PERFECT sandwich and is certainly one of my "go-to" lunches when in a bind or when I need to feed the family on the weekend. Making the perfect sandwich is easy – just layer on mustard, homemade mayo, spinach, turkey, and ham and […] more

MyBankTracker rated FirstBank based on the following criteria that includes real customer reviews and bank fees, among others. Our bank report card is a proprietary rating system that highlights the financial health and stability of the bank.
Pros: 1STBANK is locally owned and opperated with NO shareholders to make happy; plenty of Front Range locations and is one of the last banks to still offer a traditional overdraft line of credit. They also have the best customer service I have ever encountered at a bank or credit union. Cons: for whatever reason, 1STBANK had decided to move into Phoenix, AZ and has become less, Colorado-y (the debit and credit cards used to look like Colorado license plates which were very handsome, now Visa Debit is orange and the Visa "Gold" is green with white numbers and letters and looks very cheap). They also have very sneaky fees: for instance...free checking; however, after the first year, the Visa Debit card has a $10 annual fee....Chase, Wells Fargo and US Bank may not have "free: checking; however, with direct deposit, their fees are waived. Also, as they are a Front Range area bank, if you happen to need cash whilst visiting say, LA or Miami etc you will get hit with a foriegn ATM fee...I know other banks do this but if you have Chase, BofA etc etc you have a very good chance at finding one of their ATMs free of charge in most states. They have many locations; however, most are on some of the busiest roads in Denver. Another con is their antiquated online account management. It gets the job done but it seems very old.
Overall, I love 1STBANK because it has been in our family for years and I like the traditional feel that they have; however, with Chase, Wells Fargo and US Bank in our own backyard with fewer fees, it is increasingly hard to recommend 1STBANK.
When things were going well for me, they were all smiles and customer service. When i fell on hard times because of the economy, things quickly changed and customer service got ugly. Although i took care of my issues within months, inflexible management and bank policies still haunt me 5 years later; a heavy price to pay. I will never bank with them again, and i certainly do not recommend them. Find a local bank or cu. 1st bank is really just another big box bank that is happy to use your money, but they get unreasonable very quickly.
I am charged an annual fee for having a debit card and a monthly fee for not using bill pay. Do what you say and say what you mean and you will have happy customers! It doesn't seem that complex of a concept. Also, if you make a deposit with a teller, it takes an entire business day to post to your account.
I have made only atm deposits for the past year because that is the only way that the deposit posts immediately (as long as it's under a certain amount). I have been with this bank since i moved to colorado in 2011. I am closing both of my accounts next week. So over this awful way to do banking. Thanks 1st bank. Free means free. Not free if and only if.

Jeg likte alt ved hotellet. Servicen var upåklagelig og alt holdt en høy standard. - Linda
I loved this hotel for many reasons. The hotel is situated in the heart
of all the entertainment you could wish for. As a lover of cinema I was
in heaven going to the cinema just next door to the hotel. There are
many shops and restaurants to choose from. There is also a lovely little
Chapel up the road dedicated to the saint St Rita were Mass is
beautifully celebrated. The room we stayed in was lovely and spacious
and had everything we needed. I liked also that we had WiFi free, the
connection - Anonymous
Likte rom og utsikt. deilig balkong, gode senger. Beliggenheten er perfekt. HAr vært mye på Malta og alltid ønsket å bo på San Gorg, litt skuffet over service og informasjon. - Stian

I am from Barcelona. Photographer. I live and work here. I love traveling around the world. Both for living and traveling i love (I need it!!) to see the sun and the sky from the place i am staying. Open views please. Most of my apartment are attics with amazing views over the city or to some open nice places. I enjoy very much music. Now i am addicted to Spotify: it is like traveling around the world! When i travel, specially if i stay long, i like to have access to spotify and other Internet tools. That's why all my apartments have free Wifi connection and computer with web cam.
Victor Bello purchased this apartment in 2005
The open big space with 3 small balconies and a nice window will give you a relaxing feeling of pleasure. Its wood floor, its big bed, NON Ikea forniture, new kitchen and bath, etc... All ready for you to feel in a sweat room of a 4/5 stars hotel. Trust me. But with the advantage of being in an apartment where you can enjoy cooking, you can be yourself without being disturb in the morning.
Also the neighborhood is ideal to discover the city. In center town but not too much touristic. And only 5' walking from Las Ramblas and Palau Guell
The apartment is modest, but cute, cozy and clean. Worked nicely for 2. Many things you'll want to see are just a short walk away. And the neighborhood is interesting -- slightly off the beaten track, a lot of immigrants, university students, appealing vegetarian restaurants + cute coffee shops. The building is on a small square with palm trees, playing dogs and a resident flock of lively, lime green parakeets -- fun and who knew?! Flora, who met us when we arrived and showed us how everything worked, is lovely. The apartment is furnished with lots of guide books and a number of movies, should you want to have a cozy evening at home at some point. Nice place, sunny, nice experience. We'd definitely recommend it.
Full of windows and wood and light, the apartment in the sweet Raval neighborhood was exactly what we wanted. It was close to the action, not on top of it. There were trees and clotheslines and flower pots...very neighborly. We loved the apartment, which was roomy with a nice kitchen, full size refrigerator, stove and Nespresso coffee-maker. You can find anything you need in the hood, and it's a great place from which to launch a day's outing. Plus you'll love hosts Victor and Aisha. We'd return anytime!
My wife and I stayed here for nine days and have just returned home. This is a terrific little apartment. It's very well-located, a few blocks from the Rambla (a bustling and lively main street), on a corner in an ethnically diverse and interesting neighborhood. It's a five-minute walk from the grocery store and a short walk from many popular tourist destinations -- the Church of Saint Paul, the Gothic Quarter, many museums, the Barcelona Cathedral. Other popular destinations are reachable by a quick trip on the subway (also a short walk away) or by cab.
The apartment itself is simple, but very comfortable with a small kitchen (very clean), computer (with internet), washing machine, A/C and elevator. It overlooks a busy square, but the room is nice and quiet if you shut the windows.
The owners are extremely helpful and considerate and were quick to answer our questions about the city and the apartment.
If you want a really fancy place with high-end furnishings and luxury, you won't enjoy this apartment. But if you're looking for a comfortable and spacious studio in a neat part of town, this is a good option.
And the owners returned our security deposit within twelve hours of our checking out! So nice not to have to worry about that!
Highly recommended.
With our two daughters aged 11 and 9 years, we spent my wife and me for a week in this beautiful apartment located in the central district of Barcelona. It is quiet on the 5th floor of an old building standing and has all amenities. Aida and Victor have left nothing to chance, nothing is missing to pass the best stay to enjoy Barcelona. Nothing is missing in hardware household and kitchen and the bedroom. In this, we enjoyed the hospitality and assistance of Aida whose advice was very helpful. This apartment is located in the heart of historical Barcelona and during our stay with our children we did all the walking tours without any problems. We enjoyed the terrace and also air conditioning parts! We went to the beach almost every day, too, because it is close and it is a place where there are many leisure activities. Finally we loved Barcelona for the friendliness of its people, its artistic temperament, mild climate and incredible modernity of its urban infrastructure. An extraordinary urban and architectural success. This is an example for our French cities! In all cases, we recommend you this beautiful apartment that has all the ingredients for success great vacation in Barcelona. And thank you to Aida and Victor for your kindness and your professionalism!
Me and my friend spent 4 days in Barcelona and had a great homely feeling at Victor's flat.
It was a cozy place and a perfect location to stay while we enjoyed beautiful Barcelona. I highly recommend it! Victor and Aída helped us with suggestions and interesting information about the city. Next time I come back to Barcelona I will definitely stay in this apartment again, thank you!
Dear Victor and team,
We want to "THANK YOU" for the great time we had in Barcelona! Thank you very much for all your help, information and hospitality. We enjoyed it very much! The appartment can be highly reccomended as it is very central (only 2 minutes walk to LaRambla) and exactly as per description. It is very clean and the Kitchen is equipped with everything. The living room has a computer and TV, WiFi, HiFi, Aircondition etc. If this apartment were a hotel room it would have 5 stars.
Victor thank you for all the information and tipps, which you send about your beautiful city before we came over.
Aida thank you for all your help! Du bist klasse!!!
We can highly recommend Victors appartment and to stay there! We will come back at some point in the future!
Take care and all the best wishes,
Norbert & Nicole

Linux as a File and Print Server
Over the last three weeks we looked at Linux from the beginning and then talked some about its capabilities. This week is the first episode where we drill down to more specifics. And, in this episode, we look at using Linux as a file and print server.
Right off the bat, let me point out that here at Linux Journal we have a network of Linux systems that runs the gamut from desktops to web servers. All printers are served by Linux systems, and the MS-Windows system used for layout still relies on a Linux system as its file and print server and has for about five years.
It doesn't. That is, Linux distributions include all the necessary software to use any Linux system as a file and print server. Because multi-user and pre-emptive multi-tasking are part of the basic Linux kernel, there is no need for a special version of the software.
This is not to say that servers and desktops have to be configured the same way, just that they can be. If you are building a server that will be subjected to heavy traffic volumes, you will want to use faster, more reliable disk drives or possibly a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) storage system to allow the system to continue to operate even if a disk fails. You will also want some sort of backup device, such as a tape drive on the server.
On the software side of a server, you may want some sort of commercial backup software. While Linux includes backup software, many people choose a commercial package because they find it easier to use.
There are lots of alternatives including Windows2000 and Solaris-based systems. While Linux isn't the only answer, it is an excellent answer.
Linux can act as a server for UNIX, MS-Windows, Mac and Novell-based systems through the use of netatalk and Samba, the latter reviewed here in Linux Journal.
Linux has proven reliability offering typical uptimes in the hundreds of days.
The cost of a Linux solution is lower than that of the alternatives.
Cost deserves more discussion. Besides a zero cost for the software, Linux tends to be frugal in resource utilization. You can squeeze more performance out of your hardware with Linux than say Windows2000. As an example, I know of two ISPs in Vancouver. They have about the same amount of traffic to handle. One ISP uses nine WindowsNT systems, the other uses a single Linux system. While you shouldn't expect a 9:1 ratio, you will see the difference to be significant. One case study of Linux as a file server comes from our story here from our "Linux Means Business" column.
Print service is another area where Linux will shine. Linux includes print spooling software. The Samba and netatalk packages mentioned above offer print service capabilities as well. This means that The supported printers can either be connected to the serial or parallel ports on Linux systems or they can be on Ethernet and just be managed by a Linux system. For an explanation of how far print management can go, see our discussion on the Linux Print System at Cisco Systems, Inc.
Linux speaks TCP/IP, the standard communications protocol of the Internet. As MS-Windows and Macs can speak TCP/IP as well, TCP/IP over Ethernet becomes the standard. Linux has the additional software (Samba for MS-Windows systems, for example) that allows it to perform the requested services. No add-ons, nothing to buy--it just works. (More on Linux and TCP/IP is available in an early LJ article here.)

Your INSTA-NOPE games.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Ever bought a game on a whim, or maybe even after having waited months on it arriving, eagerly tossing the disc, cart or tape into the machine, playing for a few minutes, then...
The game, even after a few minutes, has done enough to destroy any semblance of potential fun from your mind. It's something about it that you know will never achieve a state of basic fun or interest to you personally. It's just... no. Just no.
What are some of your INSTA-NOPE games, and what was the point where it happened for you?
Double Jump Game Comics: http://doublejump.thecomicseries.com/
Nothing that major but dead rising 3 was not as fun as it should have been. The barriers on every freaking street ruined a lot of fun.

MK double dash when I got the game to play with friends and the battle mode sucked hard compared to the n64 version, had it on for like 10 mins then put it away forever.
For me, both Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 and Bomberman Act Zero INSTANTLY made me regret my purchases... and I bought them ironically, too!
When even an ironic purchase cheats you, you're in a bad way.

If you didn't have fun with that game you should find a new hobby
"I educated myself entirely on Wikipedia. I think harmless typos are a sign of stupidity."
GT je suisLe juif PSN lol!
paperboy 64. terrible game.
GT. CRASS RAT GT2. LBC iGoNegative
*Official Topic Killer*
From all the games I've played, no game has made me hate it within the first hour. Actually, the closest game that even comes closes to personal hate for it is F.E.A.R. 2 so far.
It's to be noted that I own a small number of games (about 130), so I'm not as immersed as other people.
Metal Gear Solid 4 was a nope for me....even though it wasn't instant, the first 1 hr was very annoying and boring, didn't like the mechanics, and the "all these toys to use but we'll punish you for using them" mentality of the gameplay was the last straw for me.
Another title was Bayonetta. Played about 5 min and knew it wasn't for me. Same thing for Too Human back when the demo came out.
Best games of last gen: Mass Effect series & Bioshock series \m/ (O_o) \m/
Yes, I bought a Wii U, and I still don't know why.
oh yeah FEAR 3 was a pretty NOPE game too

I didn't say I didn't have fun with it. I said it could have been more fun if they removed the stupid barriers that had no reason to be there. There was a freaking bridge that was completely useless! Every time I took a corner in a vehicle if hit something if not a dead end.
Why make vehicles a priority it you can only drive them for two feet?

It is certain that those machines made for industrial and commercial pressure washers would need high grade components as opposed to the regular pressure washers intended just for residential use. The thing is, many commercial consumers these days commit mistake of purchasing pressure washers for the home as they cost less. Such investment can be of no use because pressure washers made for the home will not be able to keep up with the major chores of industrial requirements. The result is that the machine quickly deteriorates or become damage because of the high requirements of industrial tasks.
The pressure washers intended for industrial and commercial used are made up of industrial motors, pumps and some heavy duty parts. Hence, such machines are specifically intended for heavy duty chores. Other information can be found at http://ezinearticles.com/?Pressure-Washer-Reviews&id=183026
Types of pressure washers
- Cold water pressure washers- this device emit the water with similar temperature like that of the inlet water temperature. Such type is perfect for general dirt and other substances cleaning that do not need any heat.
- Hot water pressure washers- this type is better that the pressure washers that uses cold water for cleaning cars during construction equipment, auto detailing and food contact surfaces.
- Steam pressure washers- in terms of grease, dirt, food, chewing gum or other substances removal, this type is the best among the other types of pressure washers. It utilizes heating coils in order to reach a 330'F of temperatures. There is another benefit of making use steam pressure washers. It is the fact t hat it no longer need any sort of chemicals like that of cold or hot water pressure requirements. High steam temperatures pressure washer works best in disinfection and sanitation. For an overall cleaning method, the use of 100% organic ingredients of green cleaning chemical can add up to the power of extra cleaning. This pressure washer uses kerosene, propane, heating oil or gasoline so as to have the 'wet steam'.
Aside from the steam pressure washer, there is also the vapor steam cleaner. This provides some steam pressure for the machine yet it does not have the flow that can remove the particles from the surface. This is measured in PSI. It can normally secrete just 60 PSI or a bit higher as compared to the up to 4000 PSI emitted on steam pressure washers.
When in the selection to buy the one to suit one's need, knowing where and how the machine will be used must be considered. It can either be used for major or minor requirements and indoor or outdoor used. A great way to make sure that the one that you will buy is something worth the investment, it would be best to read along a few pressure washer reviews. Such can be located in different community boards, forums and reputable review sites on the web. By spending a little time and effort of reading and checking some, you can buy the one that is suitable for your own need.

"offensive if you don't like R rated movies"
I barely made it though the first four chapters of the book before I just couldn't listen to it anymore. I'm disappointed as I had heard it was a good book. For one, the language is too offensive for me to continue listening to. Another reason is that there is a disgusting scene described with a circus prostitute. Need I say more? I wish someone had warned me in a review before I spent the money and time downloading it. So if you don't watch R rated movies and even get offended at some PG-13 rated movies, then this book isn't for you either and you won't have to waste your time or money.

WDYT of Banjo?

I know I know I know, breaking the scrabble rule, but Banjo has been the only name DH and I have really agreed on all pregancy for DS2. I'm now getting cold feet about it...
DS1 is Lenny (not Leonard, just Lenny) so we're after something laid back and cool.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:01 AM
I'd think, oh that's different, cool. Don't love it or hate it.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:04 AM
I like banjo. If cool and laid back is what you're after, it fits the bill. It also has a nice Aussie Flavour and I like Joey as a Nn. I think its good with lenny too. It was on my list for ds1 but hubby vetoed unfortunately.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:25 AM
I don't love it. It's not horrible though.
It just seems to be trying a little too hard.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:29 AM
I wouldn't use it myself but I can see why you like it!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:30 AM
Spunky and evocative but like Atticus I always think the parents are trying a bit hard to be cool.
Overall, I don't mind it.

Not a fan at all, sorry.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:45 AM
I don't think I would have the guts to use it personally, but I actually quite like it. Quite funky and if your child grows up hating it there's a "normal" sounding nn attached to it with Joe or Joey.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:46 AM
Cute as a child's name. In my opinion though, these "cutsey cool" names just don't work for adults.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:47 AM
NMS remotely, but it does go with your other DS's name.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:49 AM
I really like it. Some really fabulous people have been called Banjo. Is perhaps quite pecularily Australian, but IMO that only adds to the charm. Goes good with Lenny as well.
However that said some people may think it is a bit try hard. And depending on which Banjo they are most familar with may also think you are anything from a bit of an arty type to a rat bag lefty activist trying to make some sort of political point.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:56 AM
Cute but would your child hate it as an adult? I cant imagine employing someone named Banjo.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:17 PM
wouldn't use it myself, but i don't mind it at all.
i have a friend whose son is Banjo and it suits him to a tee.
they could always go by Jo when older for a more 'grown-up' name.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:36 PM
Sorry, but I think it's awful. I'm just wondering how an adult would get on with a name like Banjo. I suppose there was 'Banjo' Paterson, but his name was actually Andrew Barton Paterson. Generally, unusual names or 'cool' names don't worry me, but I think Banjo is awful.

I considered it when I was pregnant with DS2. I love it
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:45 PM
I would normally throw up my hands in horror at any unusual names but when Rachel Griffiths and her husband named their son Banjo it really struck a chord with me. Unfortunately it just seems to be one of those names that would suit a child but it is hard to imagine a man named Banjo although there are lots of worse names out there. I would love someone to use it because I never had the chance to.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:49 PM
Sorry OP, don't like it one bit!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:50 PM
I agree with the sounds a bit too try hard-y calls.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:55 PM
Great name .... for a dog!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:56 PM
Strangely for me, I like it.
Not as a mans name. I cant imagine meeting a Dad at school and being introduced to Banjo, the Dad, not the child, or a professional work environment. I just cannot picture it. Sorry And like a PP I love the whole Banjo Patterson thing.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 01:15 PM
When Rachel Griffiths called her son Banjo I thought that was cool. Because everything about Rachel Griffiths is cool.
However when people started 'copying' her that didn't seem so cool because copying cool is never quite as cool.
By now there are a few around and I suppose (as per a PP) it has become a bit Atticus-like.
I don't get excited by people calling their sibset Matilda and Banjo to be 'Australian' but you're not doing that anyway.
I'm a Lenny fan from way back and Banjo does go well with that. There might be something else cool, though with no hint of try-hard, that goes just as well. If not stick with it.

Good Quality Mid-Price Patio Furniture
I am in the market for patio furniture. Though I love the look of the high end stuff, I am not even thinking about that in this economy.
I need a rectangular table that seats six and 6 chairs. Thinking cast aluminum, but might be open to wood. I am looking to spend $1150 max but would rather spend less. I want good quality and good looks.
Which manufacturers should I look for?
Scancom is a larger manufacturer of outdoor furniture, You cant buy from them directly but they offer quality products at a good price from many established retailers
We got lovely cast furniture (tables and chairs) at BJ's Warehouse a few years back. They seem to carry 'a' design each year. If you have one (or maybe even a costco) nearby it's at least worh a look. I seem to remember paying for 6 chairs, cushions and the rectangle table a little more than one "name brand" chair would have cost retail. We figured we could replace it every few years if need be and still end up ahead. It's holding up wonderfuly so far.

A dramatic video captured by a fisherman in Canada shows a pod of killer whales hunting sea lions. The YouTube video has gone viral as the footage recorded seems to be quite a rare one.
The incident took place near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Travis Twizell was on a holiday with his family. The family that was in a boat was observing humpback whales. Additionally, they also notice some sea lions. When they decided to have a closer look, a pod of killer whales appeared out of nowhere and headed for the sea lions.
The family was able to record the unbelievable incident which happened only inches away from their boat. The terrified sea lions apparently remained closer to the boat, which - they might have presumed - would distract the whales, The Telegraph reported. The tourists could only silently witness one of the most dangerous predators in the world picking off tired sea lions just in front of them. According to Mr Twizell, the incident was "an incredibly impressive thing to witness."
Mr Twizell uploaded the video on YouTube on March 20, and within a few days, the video grabbed the attention of viewers. The video became viral as it has already been watched for more than 450,000 times. The video shows the family in in a boat that was travelling in deep water. When the aquatic giants appeared, the family sounded quite excited. The sea lions appeared desperate to save themselves but did not seem to fight strong enough against the whales which were gigantic.
Even though one of the sea lions was apparently caught by the whales, the rest of them might have survived, at least for the moment. The video comes at maximum 720p resolution, which is decent. If the resolution was higher, the action could have been a better treat to watch. However, the family on a holiday should not be blamed for not expecting such a phenomenon to be a part of the holiday experience. They are sure to cherish it for the rest of their lives.
