Stellar clusters and associations: convection, rotation, and dynamos : proceedings of a meeting held in Mondello, Palermo, Italy, 25-28 May 1999Roberto Pallavicini, Giuseppina Micela, Salvatore Sciortino The nonprofit Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) publishes the Conference Series Proceedings as part of its century-old mission to provide resources for astronomers and advance the science of astronomy. Since 1988, the ASP has published the proceedings of astronomical workshops, meetings, colloquia, and symposia to meet the community's demand for affordable, high-quality volumes on current topics in the rapidly expanding fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Since 1998, the Society has also served as publisher for the International Astronomical Union (IAU), adding their Symposia, Highlights, and Transactions to our growing list of publications. For most rapid delivery of each volume, we encourage libraries and astronomy departments to place a Standing Order for the ASP Conference Series and/or the IAU Publications. Standing Orders are shipped directly from the printer and customers receive volumes at the same discounted rates as ASP members (approximately 25-35 ASP volumes each year and/or 5 IAU Symposia). Please refer to the order form to take advantage of this time-saving offer. We encourage all professionals who are sponsoring conferences, workshops, or colloquia to inquire about publishing these proceedings with the ASP. We provide quality volumes at less than half the price of comparable titles from other major publishers, ensuring that the publication will be available to a wider audience of budget-conscious scientists. From a meeting held in Mondello, Palermo, Italy, 25-28 May 1999. |

"I have to confess... I lied. The Justice League is a force for good... I... I was jealous... I'm sorry" - Lucian Crawley Quote taken from Justice League of America #70 (March 1969)
History In his teens, Lucian Crawley developed astounding mental powers. Eager to make a career as a super-hero, with all the added fame and glory that would mean, he created a flashy, though juvenile, costume for himself and successfully foiled a few crimes as the Mindgrabber Kid. To his disMay however, he constantly found himself outshined by the popularity of the original Justice League of America. Jealous of the senior heroes, Crawley wished with all his heart that he could discredit them somehow.
Reaching out with the power of his mind, the Mindgrabber Kid managed to make contact with a group of alien spacemen, convincing them that the Justice League was a tyrannical super-regime, holding the planet in an iron grip. The good-hearted aliens immediately headed for Earth, determined to save the Earthlings from their super-dictatorship.
The Mindgrabber Kid manipulated the aliens and the League into fighting each other, also involving the half-lunatic hero known as the Creeper in the battle. The Kid soon watched the situation grow out of proportions, and after the League had won the fight, he explained the situation and apologized for his shameful behaviour. Though disturbed, the League and the alien crew both accepted his apology.
Mindgrabber Kid made some more attempts to become a full-fledged super-hero, but in spite of his powers, never succeeded. When businesswoman Claire Montgomery attempted to re-form her corporate super-team, the Conglomerate, a few years ago, the Mindgrabber Kid applied for membership. Having gained quite a bit of weight, his costume looked even less impressive than before, and Montgomery questioned how he could still call himself a "kid" at his age. Without having the chance to demonstrate his skills, Crawley was dismissed.
A disillusioned failure, Lucian Crawley could no longer take the strain. He was institutionalized in a mental asylum where he remained until he got released by Alger and Camille, members of the supernatural organization called the August who posed as Crawley's relatives. Realizing the potential of Crawley's abilities, the August brainwashed him and amplified his powers, making him a tool in their plans to re-shape the world. Now called the Mind-Eater, the former hero wannabee was manipulated to battle the group called the Leymen (a.k.a. the Primal Force), and defeated them. The Leymen were imprisoned, but later escaped with the help of Nightmaster. The August's new world order was violently destroyed in the following battle, as was their organization. It is not known whether the Mind-Eater survived this cataclysm. His current whereabouts, if any, are unknown.
The Mindgrabber Kid used a variety of mental powers, including telepathy and telekinesis. His prime telepathic skill was to manipulate other beings to do as he wished. As the Mind-Eater, his powers had been amplified by the August making him something of a "psychic vampire" and a formidable mind-controller.

Matthew H. – Scranton PA 9/30/2014
Likes: Does what it says on the tin. The child safe cap is fairly rugged, but a nice feature as you can imagine. Cap stays tight and doesn't back off, almost to the point where you wonder why you put it on so tight.
Dislikes: Not a complaint, really, but the cap might be tightening itself when I'm not looking.
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 9/18/2014
Likes: I like everything MSR makes. Very durable!
Dislikes: Nothing!
. – Fresno CA 3/9/2014
Likes: Great product, no complaints.

Dislikes: Nothing.
Bryan G. – New Ringgold PA 11/6/2013
Likes: Great fuel bottle, lightweight, durable, and large enough for a week in the mountains
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 8/30/2013

. – San Diego CA 12/18/2012
Likes: Strong and reasonably light. The child-proof cap is a good idea. Better option than disposable canisters. Liquid fuel is more versatile than compressed gas and the fuel bottles don't end up in the landfill.
Dislikes: nothing
Ryan M. – Jacksonville FL 12/15/2012
Likes: Very strong, durable, and has a great seal when closed.
Anton A. – Denver CO 11/23/2012

Dislikes: hard to open
Robert B. – Dalton GA 11/19/2012
Likes: It helped me lighten my load. I'm a fairly novice backpacker and I've been carrying to much fuel for our three day treks. This bottle provides just enough for at least two good hot meals (maybe four) and some clean up, and hot drinks. I have a small dragonfly stove.
Dislikes: As always, the price.
Corrie P. – Birchwood Village MN 7/12/2012
Likes: Lightweight, sturdy, and well made fuel bottle.
Dislikes: No Problems
Edward M. – Dewitt NY 3/24/2012
Likes: Works as advertised. No problems. I like the rubber gasket on top. It helps to seal firmly.
Dislikes: A little large. (The smaller bottles were out of stock)
Chris K. – Omaha NE 1/29/2012
Likes: Clean simple design. Reasonably lightweight. Does exactly what it is designed to do.
Dislikes: A little overpriced for an empty fuel bottle, but it should last a long time.
Chris K. – Omaha NE 12/8/2011
Likes: Reasonably lightweight, and a clean looking design. Bought to use with the MSR whisperlite stove. Safety/locking cap is very sturdy and will not come loose by itself.
Dislikes: Nothing really, but would like it to be a bit lighter.
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 11/1/2011
Likes: Performs as intended, what can you say about a fuel canister?!
Dislikes: Too simple to have problems!
William H. – Delran NJ 10/26/2011
Likes: it's a fuel bottle, serves its purpose. Nice graphics.
Dislikes: A bit expensive for a fuel bottle.
Gregory M. – Orlando FL 9/5/2011
Likes: Got this for my MSR Simmerlite Liquid Fuel Stove. Well built, lite-weight, and stores easily. These come is a variety of sizes. Check'em out, you'll be glad you did.
Dislikes: no dislikes
Jeffrey B. – Silverdale WA 2/4/2011
Likes: It is easy to fit into my pack. Holds more than enough fuel for my reltively short (2-3 nights)Mission Mountain Wilderness back country trips.
Dislikes: No down side!
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 1/2/2011
Likes: This is the highg capacity bottle we used for white gas along with the MSR whisperlite stove and it is excellent- does not leak any fluid and is lightweight.
Dislikes: Elevation and temperature changes caused the bottle to seal really tightly (vacummn) and it was difficult to open it on the mountain; but a glove/rag will help solve this problem by providing better grip on the cap while turning.
Travis D. – Red Bluff CA 10/28/2010
Likes: Strong and light, just like everything else they make.
Dislikes: A different color would be nice but it makes no real difference.
David M. – Carbondale IL 10/19/2010
Likes: Does the intended job with no problems, price better than Primus brand.
Ray H. – Edmond OK 6/17/2010
Likes: works great with the whisperlite stove
Dislikes: nothing negative
James B. – Winter Springs FL 3/31/2010
Likes: A great bottle at a great price. I love the new caps which are extremely secure and will not accidently open. Several sizes to choose from so you can carry just the amount of fuel needed for the outing.
Dislikes: There is nothing I dislike about this product.
Daniel C. – Iowa City IA 1/26/2010
Likes: Good bottle. No issues. Many sizes offered.
Dislikes: Don't like safety cap. Old cap had no moving parts to ices up or potentially fail. That said I have not had any issues with the safety cap yet. Just a concern.
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 1/26/2010
Likes: Good bottle. Holds up well over time, no corrosion, etc. Never had one leak yet.
Dislikes: Don't care for bulk of safety cap over standard non-safety cap, but have not had any trouble with either. Just afraid that is is something else to give trouble at in-opportune times sch a as cold weather camping. I think you can get the standard cap for mountaineering, but many stores only carry the safety cap.
Carl C. – IRON MOUNTAIN MI 1/4/2010
Likes: Great fuel tank. I bought two to make sure I would have enough fuel for a week... I could have done with one. That being said, it packs easy and seems durable... I'll carry both with me in case I spill or want to do more than just boil water.
Dislikes: Nothing - great product.
Shawn M. – Oakland TN 11/4/2009
Likes: Sturdy design. Protective cap won't come off inadvertintly.
Autum s. – entiat WA 6/25/2009
Likes: Does the job
Dislikes: ?

MSR's XGK is the number one choice of expeditions around the world. The XGK EX is MSR's most reliable extreme-condition, high-altitude stove.
The MSR Dragonfly is the premier multi-fuel stove with unprecedented flame control making it great for simmering sauces or melting snow.
For over 15 years, the MSR WhisperLite has been a leading backpacking stove due to its reliability and simple design.
Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.
Rotate SWF would go here... Greg will reconfigure this after we have an actual example. This is just a place holder.

Doesn't Anyone Start on Small Boats Anymore?

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
Rep Power:
I see this a lot in my business (Motorcycle, Watercraft and Jet Boat dealership) and in most cases it's ego, pure ego.
When I was 12 my dad (an air force officer) was stationed at the old Newport RI Navy base for a year. They had a sailing class for military and their families. It was more like basic training. Final exam was to singlehand one of their 26 footers from the slip, around the bay and back into the slip, these boats had no motors. So, I had a good base of understanding when, a year later and now living in Finland, we got a 23 footer. I spent just about every summer day sailing for the next three years.
Years later, now living in Florida, I got a Hobie16. What a fun boat! I think this is one if the best boats for learners. So easy to set-up and sail, and always fun. The Hobie gives you instant feedback and lets you know if that last adjustment was good or bad. Displacment monohull's tend to be more sluggish with feedback, making learning a little more difficult.
When we decided we wanted a weekender I started looking at 23 to 26 footers and found a Westerly Padgent 23. This boat had everything needed for a family of three for weekending and short vacations. I wanted a "stout" boat and the Westerly is about as stout as small boats get. Owned her for 15 years but she never got as much sailing time as that Hobie.
Now, after a 15 year stint of no boat I've decided to start sailing again and found a 28 footer in reasonable shape for a 40 year old girl. She is more work to singlehand but I suspect that will get better as we get to know each other.
i wanted to buy a hobie 2 years ago, but the wife would not even think about going on one.
That's really a shame because they are so much fun to sail. If you could get her to just do one sail (calm day with little chop) she might change her mind. If you can find an old G-Cat in good shape they are even better than a Hobie for the wife. G-Cat's are nearly impossible to flip (you've really gotta be trying) and have a very usable front trampoline so they have a lot more people room.
Sometimes things aren't as logical as they look. Example: We have many customer's who's wives won't allow the kids on a dirt bike but will allow them on ATV's. The logic; four wheels are more stable than two so they must be safer. WRONG! Fact is, when you wreck an ATV (and kids are always going to wreck) it's so stable it falls right on top of you, just about every time and ATV's are a lot heavier than dirt bikes. A two wheeler will usually pitch you off but will rarely fall on you and if it does it's a lot lighter than an ATV.
There is a joy to sailing small boats, solo or as a couple, that you just don't get on larger boats.

I'm always like Etrigan The Demon characther but ı dont know very well about him.... What's happened for Etrigan's side ?!? Can He Fly ?!? ... Or his sorcerey and heal power how powerfull ?!? I'm wonder about this topic.. Help me guys
How Powerfull is Etrigan ?!?
Etrigan is sort of a god also so should be similar to Wonder Woman, Orion and Superman. New 52 Etrigan most of time appears without wings but sometimes demon bat wings are used to fly as seen in demon knights 8 and 2.
So thanks ;).. And what is his special abalities ?!?
My belief is the god like Etrigan is powerful enough to kill the Near East Mythology god called El.
Can someone post feats of etrigan? particularly the new 52 version?
@micahparadise: The new 52 version hasn't done much impressive. Pre 52 Etrigan has a respect thread I made.

According to an article from the Boone and Crockett Club, huge trends in Federal spending from decades ago are squeezing conservation programs out of the Federal budget. Also, the political blame game is making it harder for agreement on real solutions by forcing Congress to "just say no" or "just say yes" on everything from unique special interests to big complex issues.

Dr WASHER (9:27 PM)
—May I congratulate the member for Braddon for supporting this bill and also for the effort that Tasmania, as a state, has put into renewable energy. The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Bill 2002 amends the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 to clarify key definitions in the original legislation and to provide for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the administration of the legislation. These clarifications are needed to maintain the integrity of the legislation and to ensure the full achievements of its objectives.
The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 was a world-leading piece of legislation which a number of countries have identified as a model for promoting renewable energy through a market based trading system. Although this legislation has been in operation only since April last year, its implementation is already achieving and delivering significant benefits. Small and large producers are included in the trading scheme, and there are strong indications of investor confidence in the renewable energy sector, with many projects proposed for development. The clarification of definitions contained within the act is particularly important from the viewpoint of investors in renewable energy. The amendments will provide greater clarity about what is an eligible renewable energy source, what is an accredited power station and what is a relevant acquisition of electricity.
The harnessing of renewable energies is a challenge that we must continue to address to fulfil our commitment under the Kyoto protocol. Electricity generates more than 70 per cent of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, and coal-fired power is responsible for 90 per cent of those emissions. Under the government's current mandatory renewable energy target, MRET, an additional 9,500-gigawatt hours of electricity per year must be generated from renewable sources by 2010, resulting in annual greenhouse gas emission reductions of around seven million tonnes.
There are a number of exciting and innovative projects in Australia at the moment which have great potential to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the years ahead. One of the more notable and ambitious projects is planned for inland New South Wales, and construction is expected to begin next year. It is a revolutionary clean energy solar power station whose centrepiece is a massive concrete and steel tower that will rise one kilometre into the air. It will be the biggest man-made structure on earth—more than double the height of the world's tallest buildings. A large glass `sunlight collector' or greenhouse, seven kilometres in diameter at the base of the solar tower, will create an updraught of hot air powerful enough to spin the turbines in the base. The solar power station, comprising the greenhouse and tower, has the capacity to generate 200 megawatts of electricity—enough to supply 200,000 households. It is interesting that it is effectively a gigantic greenhouse that will help reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
The capital outlay for these sorts of projects is substantial, but their life spans are considerable and they start becoming seriously economical 15 or 20 years down the track. In terms of the environment and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, they start saving us from day one. And of course projects such as this have started looking more viable since the introduction of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000, which introduced a kind of subsidy for electricity generated from renewable sources in the form of renewable energy certificates. This solar tower project confirms Australia as a world leader in renewable energy production aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company planning this massive venture, EnviroMission, has already identified potential sites for further solar towers, including one in my own state of Western Australia.
Another bold and innovative project in the search for renewable energy sources is the exploration of the hot- dry-rock geology lying buried beneath several kilometres of insulating earth in South Australia. The Cooper Basin has the hottest known rocks in the world, at drilling depths that are economically viable. Scientists believe these naturally radioactive rocks beneath the earth's surface could provide an inexhaustible and environmentally friendly power source for many years to come. A series of geothermal power stations fuelled by subterranean radioactive rocks has the potential to meet the total electricity demand of the country for hundreds of years, according to scientists. Such a project would be massive—on a scale similar to the Snowy Mountains scheme or the North West Shelf. But despite the scale, the concept itself is simple. The earth's reserves of heat in naturally radioactive rocks could provide an effectively inexhaustible and renewable source of power: no greenhouse gas emissions, little water usage and minimal pollution. Put simply, water is pumped into the hot zone approximately three kilometres beneath the earth's surface, where it spreads through a `reservoir' of hot, cracked rocks. It heats up and returns to the earth's surface as steam, to spin turbines and generate electricity. The water is then recaptured and reused.
Geodynamics Ltd are focusing on South Australia's Cooper Basin, where the geology is not only highly promising but well researched, thanks to years of exploration and drilling for oil and gas. Whilst time and money are two major stumbling blocks in the path of hot rock technology, it is a serious contender for future energy needs. A geothermal station would require about 25 years to become operational and would be enormously expensive to build. However, once up and running it should pay for itself within a few years, with minimal maintenance and running costs.
Australia has huge potential to develop clean renewable energy. We have huge areas of flat plains and deserts, vast basins of volcanic rock underground, huge tides along the northern coast of Western Australia with great opportunities to harness tidal power, as the member for Kalgoorlie would surely tell us, and a vast coastline ideal for the siting of wind generated turbines and wave power energy generation. There is to be a wave power plant established at Two Rocks, north of my electorate, in the near future. Just a few weeks ago the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Dr David Kemp, announced Commonwealth funding of $5 million from the Renewable Remote Power Generation Program for the new Esperance wind farm in the south-east of my state of Western Australia. The government has also recently given the green light to Pacific Hydro's 120 wind generators at four sites in Victoria. These are all significant measures towards the goal of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and meeting our Kyoto commitments.
The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Bill 2002, with its suite of administrative changes, is being introduced now to ensure that there is as little delay as possible in providing certainty to both the power generation industry and the renewable energy industry in the operation of the renewable energy trading system. This certainty is essential for them to make the types of strategic investments required to achieve our challenging target of an additional 9,500-gigawatt hours of electricity based on renewable energy.
The administrative amendments contained in the bill are designed to ensure that the integrity of the original legislation is maintained and that it achieves its full objectives. As well as clarifying the definitions in the act, this bill also gives the Renewable Energy Regulator the capacity to vary decisions, including those related to energy acquisition statements, energy shortfall statements and the 1997 eligible renewable energy baseline for an accredited power station. This capacity to amend decisions meets a pragmatic need of the regulator to address mistakes made by participants or to respond to changing circumstances, additional information or the results of monitoring and compliance actions.
The bill provides for the introduction of information-gathering powers to underpin the monitoring, auditing and compliance requirements of the act. This bill also recognises that the administrative load for the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator will greatly increase. In order to meet this demand, provision will be made to allow the appointment of Commonwealth officers or employees of state and territory governments to operate as authorised officers and to exercise the power to monitor compliance with the act.
The amendments also give the regulator the capacity to suspend entitlements, including the accreditation of a power station in a number of limited circumstances. This is particularly important to ensure that the owners and operators of these businesses conduct themselves in a manner in keeping with the objectives of the legislation. If a power station contravenes or is suspected of contravening a law of the Commonwealth, a state or a territory, its accreditation can be suspended. Likewise, if the regulator is reasonably of the opinion that generators are manipulating the output by increasing the quantity of renewable energy certificates able to be created without increasing renewable energy generation, their accreditation can be suspended. The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Bill 2002 safeguards the integrity of the world-leading and bold legislation contained in the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. This country already has many innovative sources of renewable energy and it is worth noting that Tasmania, our smallest state, currently generates more than half of this nation's renewable energy. But, as I have said, there are more innovative and exciting projects under way. These amendments will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the operation of the act and promote investment in further projects through greater clarity and certainty. I commend this bill to the House.

It seems to me that it should be possible to make a perfectly jitter-free CD transport without resorting to elaborate, expensive mechanical structures. This idealized transport would ignore all mechanical considerations of disc playbackvibration damping and isolation, for exampleand simply put a jitter-free electrical driver at the transport output. If such a circuit could be made, it wouldn't care about how bad the signal recovered from the disc was (provided the recovered data were error-free). The circuit would just output a perfect, jitter-free S/PDIF signal. The result would be the sound quality of the $8500 Mark Levinson No.31 Reference CD transport in $200 machines. Such a scheme would provide an electrical solution to what has been considered largely a mechanical problem.
But back in the real world there's no doubt that attention to mechanical aspects of transport design affects sound quality. Examples abound: listening to Nakamichi's 1000 CD transport with its Acoustic Isolation door open and closed; playing the Mark Levinson No.31 with the top open; and putting any transport on isolation platforms or feet are only a few of the dozens of experiences I have had that suggest that mechanical design is of utmost importance.
The digital interface between CD transports and digital processors is a perfect example of this dilemma. The Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF) standard was designed so that connecting two digital products required only one cable. This single cable carries left and right audio channels as well as the timing clock essential to making the system work.
When Louis Pasteur uttered these words more than a hundred years ago, he must have speculated that they would apply equally well to future circumstances as to the events of his day. What he couldn't anticipate, however, was the technology to which his insight now seems so appropriate.
For example: "Bits are bits, and it is therefore dishonest for Stereophile's writers to continue to insist that they can hear any differences between CD players or digital processors!" recently wrote an angry reader, canceling his subscription. (They always tell me they're going to cancel their subscription.) "Yeah, right!" thought I, having just sat through a comparative audition of, would you believe, digital data interconnects in Robert Harley's listening room. Some of the differences I heard were not trivial. They might even be audible in a blind listening test.

Election frauds are nothing new and neither are political frauds in general. The oldest fraud is the belief that the political left is the party of the poor and the downtrodden.
The election results in California are only the latest evidence to give the lie to that belief. While the state as a whole went for Kerry, 55 percent versus 44 percent for Bush, the various counties ranged from 71 percent Bush to 83 percent Kerry. The most affluent counties were where Kerry had his strongest support.
In Marin County, where the average home price is $750,000, 73 percent of the votes went for Kerry. In Alameda County, where Berkeley is located, it was 74 percent Kerry. San Francisco, with the highest rents of any major city in the country, gave 83 percent of its votes to Kerry.
Out where ordinary people live, it was a different story. Thirty-six counties went for Bush versus 22 counties for Kerry, and usually by more balanced vote totals, though Bush went over 70 percent in less fashionable places like Lassen County and Modoc County. If you have never heard of them, there's a reason.
It was much the same story on the votes for Proposition 66, which would have limited the "three strikes" law that puts career criminals away for life. Affluent voters living insulated lives in places well removed from high-crime neighborhoods have the luxury of worrying about whether we are not being nice enough to hoodlums, criminals and terrorists.
They don't like the "three strikes" law and want it weakened. While most California voters opposed any weakening of that law, a majority of the voters in the affluent and heavily pro-Kerry counties mentioned wanted us to stop being so mean to criminals.
This pattern is not confined to California and it is not new. There were limousine liberals before there were limousines. The same pattern applies when you go even further left on the political spectrum, to socialists and communists.
The British Labor Party's leader in the heyday of its socialist zealotry was Clement Attlee, who grew up in a large home with servants -- and this was not the only home his family owned. Meanwhile, Margaret Thatcher's family ran a grocery store and lived upstairs over it.
While the British Labor Party was affiliated with labor unions, it was the affluent and the intellectuals in the party who had the most left-wing ideologies and the most unrealistic policies. In the years leading up to World War II, the Labor Party was for disarmament while Hitler was arming Germany to the teeth across the Channel.

NIA plans to lift 183-day rule on foreign residentsCNA September 4, 2012, 12:09 am TWN TAIPEI -- The National Immigration Agency (NIA) is preparing a draft amendment for the Legislature that proposes the withdrawal of the regulation stipulating foreign residents must live in the country for at least 183 days per year to keep residency, the NIA head said in an interview broadcast Monday.
In addition, the draft amendment will also allow foreign residents to keep their permanent residency even if they live outside Taiwan for a long period of time, NIA Director-General Hsieh Li-kung said in a recent interview with International Community Radio Taipei, the only English-language radio station in Taiwan. The period of time, however, will be limited to a maximum of five continuous years, he noted. The official said he expects the Legislative Yuan to quickly pass the amendment bill after lawmakers start discussing the proposal.
1 Comment September 4, 2012 milkalex@ When are they going to remove that stupid 183 days tax rule that starts every year? Even in Australia I can get taxed as a local if commit to stay 6 month in the same area. If I leave earlier I need to repay those taxes. Why can't Taiwan do the same? |

Moderate Voice
Submitted By Todd on October 16th at 3:47pm
O'Reilly made good use of the buzz he created on The View Thursday, exploring in a segment last night the nature of the Muslim Denial Movement that Whoopi and Joy were channeling. People always ask - where are the moderate voices? O'Reilly gives on a forum.
Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy makes a good case for why the gals from The View, who were backed up by Barbara Walters, have it exactly wrong.

Danica to make Nationwide debut at Daytona Feb. 13
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
Following her sixth-place finish in the ARCA Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 last Saturday, Feb. 6, former Roscoe resident Danica Patrick has announced she will be making her NASCAR Nationwide Series debut in Daytona this weekend.
Patrick picked up 80 laps of stock car racing experience in last Saturday's race and got a little taste of everything. She had
plenty of rubbing and racing, and she even went on a spin through the grass and still managed to bring her car back to the garage in one piece after all was said and done.
It was a pretty impressive stock car debut for Patrick. After starting the race in the 12th position, she fell as far back as 23rd with only 16 laps left in the race. She managed to stay calm and ended up with a debut top 10 finish.
Patrick drives the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet Impala in the Nationwide Series for JR Motorsports, co-owned by NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick. JR Motorsports left the decision about whether to run in the Daytona race to Patrick.
"It's totally her decision," said JR Motorsports General Manager Kelley Earnhardt, prior to Patrick making the decision. "I don't know if one race is gonna put it in the bucket for her, so she's going to have to think about that. She probably, right now, would be like 'Hell, yes, let's go' because she's beaming with excitement. But take the night to think about it." Earnhardt, knowing the financial windfall that comes with the whirlwind of attention constantly swirling around Patrick, wanted her to run in the Daytona race.
"I'm ecstatic," Kelley Earnhardt said after the ARCA race. "I think she showed us she was able to drive, definitely. One time I seen her up on the high side, and then she pulled down low, and I'm thinking, 'Come on, let's pull off an Earnhardt and pass 18 cars in three laps and win this thing.'
"But she did fantastic for her first stock car race. She was aggressive, didn't back out of it, and we brought home a good finish. The team did a great job, and the communication was there, she was asking a lot of questions and learning a lot.
"I'm 50-50. I want to see her out there doing it, because this is what we signed up to do, but at the same time there's a lot of experience out there that I don't know if she's ready for, and you're not going to know until she gets out there, so it's just going to be something that we all discuss and think about."
Look for Patrick in the starting lineup this weekend at Daytona International Speedway when the Nationwide Series' Drive4COPD 300 race airs at noon, Saturday, Feb. 13, on ESPN2.

Chiro Games
Point Systems
The Chiropractic Games promises to host a high degree of competition between schools and students. In the interest of appropriate awards to top teams, the Chiropractic Games present both medals and trophies in acknowledgement of athletic achievement. The medals, which are adorned with the Chiropractic Games logo on the front, are presented to all the athletes competing on the first, second, and third place teams. In addition, trophies are presented to the top three teams in the overall competition.
The point system is as follows:
- First place: 10 points
- Second place: 6 points
- Third place: 4 points
The Chiropractic Games overall trophy is a traveling trophy originally donated by the Delta Sigma Chi Fraternity of Logan College in 1992. Etched on the front is the official Chiropractic Games logo. Each year the total points accumulated by teams playing in non-exhibition sports are tallied with the school scoring the most being declared the Chiropractic Games Overall Champion for that year. There are no exhibition sports in this year's games, so every sport will count towards the overall championship point totals
Past champions are:
1992 Logan | 1993 Palmer |
1994 Parker | 1995 Palmer |
1996 Parker | 1997 Parker |
1998 Parker | 1999 Parker |

Are Guns The New Hot Accessory?
Fashion designer Philipp Plein sends models down the runway brandishing guns and wearing gas masks, ostensibly in the name of style. Should a line be drawn when artistic expression abuts the glorification of violence?
German fashion designer Philipp Plein is no stranger to audacious publicity stunts. He made headlines in September for featuring the transsexual model Lea T. in his Milan runway show, further defying convention by having Lea smoke a cigarette on the catwalk. His taste in celebrity casting also raised eyebrows when Lindsay Lohan became the face of his Spring/Summer 2012 campaign and Ed Westwick walked the runway in Plein's Spring/Summer 2013 menswear show.
But not even what appeared to be male twins making out in Plein's most recent ad campaign holds a candle to the designer's most recent shock and awe maneuver. In yesterday's Autumn/Winter 2013 fashion show, Plein accessorized his military-themed collection with balaclavas, gas masks, and automatic weapons waved at the audience as models walked the runway. Plein drove the point home with messages like "Life's a game and it's not fair" and "Only kill for love" stenciled in red on models' bodies.
In the wake of the Newtown tragedy and the ensuing debates over gun control, Plein's strategy (or mode of artistic expression) seems particularly alarming. When is a runway show just that — a show — and when does it cross the line? Check out some of the photos here.
MILAN, ITALY - JANUARY 14: A model walks the runway during the Philipp Plein show during Milan Fashion Week Menswear Autumn/Winter 2013 on January 14, 2013 in Milan, Italy.

Puppy meeting my dog
So I finally bring my girl home this Friday. She will be 8 weeks old. I've read several different ways to introduce the dogs. Any suggestions?? I currently have an almost 14 year old Yorkie. He doesn't act his age. He walks 1/2 mile a day but also sleeps about 20 hours a day. Should I introduce them in our front yard?? Thanks!

If your senior Yorkie is territorial then I would suggest not having the first meeting in his own front yard. Perhaps neutral territory like a nearby park might help smooth things over.

Thanks guys. Ya I would say he's a little territorial. So maybe in my neighbors yard. I'm trying to avoid the park since I live in a major dog community and the pup will have only had one set of shots. I will obviously have the pup on a leash but I'm thinking maybe the Yorkie will be free without lease. He's very obedient and won't run off. I think he's more insecure when on a leash

Can you bring the Yorkie with you to pick up the puppy and just introduce them in the car or where you're picking it up from? After seeing my puppy get sick I would really recommend avoiding the park or any place outside of your home or car to help your puppy not catch something.
We kept our puppy inside by herself for a few days and kept our chihuahua outside. When we finally let the chihuahua inside to meet the new puppy we were kinda worried cause our little guy has King Joffrey syndrome but they actually were great meeting each other. A lot of sniffing and walking around and then he ignored her and wanted to eat her food lol All she wanted to do was follow him around for a bit and then go back to her corner to sleep. Now she runs him over constantly and we hear him barking at her all the time when she gets a little too rough which is most of the time lol |

I'm going to ask the breeder about this. Sounds like the best idea. No way we can make the Yorkie stay outside. He's a major wimp and it's so hot here he probably would die. Thanks! I'm hoping that the Yorkie won't be too aggressive. I don't want the ooh to be freaked out by him and later retaliate Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

I think it's best to introduce two dogs on neutral territory (both on leash) walking them around together first. Since you have such a young pup and have an issue with the Yorkie being insecure on leash I think it would be best for you to go with introducing them with the puppy on leash (or in a crate) and the Yorkie off-leash outside. Try your best to stay calm when you introduce them. Good luck.

Take deep breaths!! Calm... Yes, calm. We are all looking at our poor Yorkie today feeling sorry for him. We need to change our outlook and pray they eventually get along. I feel sorry for my Yorkie but at the same time I can't allow him to rule the entire house until his death (I know that sounds terrible but we all want the dog) I'm almost wondering if I should well be introduction to take place with my husband and the kids with me not around??? Not because I'm going to be stressed out because my Yorkie Acta like more of a jerk when I'm around... However I don't let him get away with it. Thanks! Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Spider-Man 2
Call it Grand Theft Spider-Man. And call it damn fine.
Although both Rockstar Games and Treyarch will probably cringe at the sound of the phrase, Spider-Man 2, the fourth game in Activision's comic-book based series, is, without a doubt, Grand Theft Spider-Man -- a clear fusion of the ideas in Grand Theft Auto and the Spider-Man series. That's a good thing; a very good thing. Critics and gamers alike have been calling for something like this since the day GTA III stole Christmas in 2001, and now Activision and Treyarch have done something wonderful.
The reason this is such a big deal isn't because someone else made an "open-style" game or that you can wander or rather web sling around town doing anything you want at any time. And it's not that the game is based on the second Spider-Man movie, with all the stars, villains, and story developments that follow. That's all fine and dandy. It's how incredible the web-slinging feels, and what you can do with it that adds a gameplay dynamic that's so different than any other game it's hard to put into words. What Treyarch has done, in actuality, is to blend in that nearly unattainable addiction so inherent in Neversoft's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series and meld it with Spider-Man's web slinging in a Grand Theft Auto-style open city. It's one hell of an achievement, and it works. Outdoors anyways.
Sure, there is the dull repetition of the Hero missions, the missions drag down, and the boss fights range from stupid to incredibly annoying -- especially the Doctor Octopus...and well, even the Mysterio fights -- and the voice acting is downright shameful. But the game's integral factors ascend above the fray, giving players a huge, multifaceted game that's rich in skill-based gameplay and replay value. It's fat with a massive array of challenges, and it delivery a distinct Spider-Man style of fun previously unmatched in the action genre.
Video Head-to-Head With our Spider-Man 2 Video comparison you will be able to get the best possible idea how the GCN, PS2, and Xbox versions differ. You won't find this anywhere else. Plus, we throw in a look at the PC version, which as far as we're concerned, is easily worth the price of admission on its own. Get it at IGN Insider now. And check out our other Spidey coverage too! Links :: Video Head-to-Head | Video Review | Head-to-Head | Guide | |
Technologically Speaking
Coming off a relatively successful first effort with Spider-Man for Xbox, PS2, and GameCube in April 2002, Treyarch's first attempt (Neversoft originated the series on PlayStation and Vicarious Visions handled the forgettable second PS game) left some gamers with a headache. The indoor levels and the fidgety camera bugged enough critics so much they stopped talking about anything else. That version, however, introduced interesting aerial combat including the likes of Vulture and the Green Goblin, which felt like it was on the cusp of something, but wasn't quite there. This Spider-Man is the best kind of sequel. Treyarch didn't just put a band-aid on the problems; it drastically changed the game's structure and environments, thus providing the athletic, skyscraper-friendly Spider-Man with an entirely different set of dynamics. No band-aid was needed, Treyarch changed the template.
Spider-Man 2 is drastically expanded. Drastically is subtle for what's happened. The whole island of Manhattan is available for players to explore. Not just in square mileage, mind you, but in volume too. You can swing across the Brooklyn Bridge, walk through the Garment district, swing through Mid-Town, Central Park, and climb from the pavement to the highest building in the city with no load times, few barriers, no problems. You can climb up to the top of the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. In a classy move, Treyarch put in two beams of light at Ground Zero.
The city details remain vivid for the most part and players can swing as fast as they can through it without a single hiccup in the technology -- i.e. no glitches, no stuttering, no massive pop-ups (there is a little here and there). The Xbox version fares better than the PS2 version here, but both deliver a seamless technical experience. You can leap from the tallest building and fall to your death 100 stories down, or at the last second with a single press of a button a strand of Spidey's web will propel you into the air again.

As one who has been a Republican all of my life and have so voted, beginning with my ballot cast for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, I am becoming increasingly concerned at the utterly inane and destructive food fight between "Establishment Republicans" and "True Conservatives," which threatens to divide us into modern day "Hatfields and McCoys."
Webster defines a conservative as one who tends to adhere to and maintain traditional and existing views, methods, conditions and institutions. This portrait conforms to the more cynical Ambrose Bierce's entry in The Devil's Dictionary: "Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wants to replace them with others."
Today's liberal or progressive Democrats would have you believe that Conservatives/Republicans are not only out of touch with the voters but also cater to the wealthiest among us at the expense of the poor, the older adults, the children, minorities and, recently, the middle class.
Conversely, Republicans/Conservatives advertise themselves as limited government capitalists, Constitution-strict constructionists and individual freedom adherents who believe in low taxes and private enterprise.
In my father's and my lifetimes, Republicans have been deemed the standard bearers of conservatism while the Democrats have embodied the more liberal and bigger government style of exercise of authority. Most often, the party leadership from both sides of the aisle has been able to strike an agreement which, while not entirely satisfactory to either faction, resolves the issue.
Sadly, since about 1992, in today's political arena, the widening gap between Republicans and Conservatives has been aggravated by none other than self-appointed conservative pundits and radio hosts. Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole was attacked as insufficiently conservative to face the obviously more liberal Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush was twice elected despite vilification by the same cabal.
Current Republican candidates are forced to run the gauntlet of radio talk hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and other self-appointed critics who toss out derogatory terms like "RINO" (Republican in Name Only), Establishment Elite and Republican Light, to show their disdain for those who don't measure up to their ideal as true conservatives. Along with at least one of the candidates, they invoke the late President Ronald Reagan as their model.
A simple reality check would prove these critics so far out in left field that like Elvis, "they have left the building." Ronald Reagan, a true conservative and a gentleman, espoused two values regarding Republicans: (1) "an 11th Commandment that thou shalt not speak evil of any Republican" and (2) that a Republican who supports the party position 80 percent of the time is worthy of the name and nurturing.
They also ignore the "Buckley Rule," which is named after William F. Buckley Jr., conservative author, commentator and founder of National Review magazine. The rule states to vote for the most electable conservative option — the Republican/Conservative who can win. Otherwise, you invoke the late Walt Kelly's Pogo Standard: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
The 2012 presidential election is arguably the most important of our lifetime as those of us who expect to support the Republican ticket see the country as barreling pell-mell toward statism and national insolvency without a serious effort to contain the growth of bankrupting entitlements. This is no time for Republicans and Conservatives to be fighting among ourselves as to who is the "most conservative."
The November ballot will not have a Conservative Party choice instead, for those not interested in re-electing President Barack Obama, the sole reasonable option will be to vote Republican. The last time I looked, the Republican Party did not grant to Rush, to Hannity, to South Carolina's Senator Jim DeMint nor even to Sarah Palin the political responsibility of determining the electability of the party's candidate — the decision is yours.

Charles Erickson had once confessed to beating Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor Kent Heitholt with a tire tool, and he testified that Ryan Ferguson then strangled Heitholt to death. When Heitholt was dead, Erickson testified, they stole his car keys and the belt they'd used to strangle him.
Erickson recently recanted that story, saying that he alone was responsible for Heitholt's death and that Ferguson "never touched him."
