A birdcage (or bird cage) is a cage designed to house birds as pets.
Antique (or antique-style) birdcages are often popular as collectors' items or as household decor but most are not suitable for housing live birds, being too small, or of unsafe materials or construction. Good quality cages designed for pet birds are more suitable.
Most parrot cages are made or wrought iron and painted with a non-toxic paint referred to as powder-coating. However, the newest trend in the market is cages made of solid stainless steel. Large parrot cages made of stainless steel can cost thousands of dollars and will actually outlive a powder-coated cage by 5 to 6 times. While small cages are relatively cheap, large parrot-sized cages can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The materials used to build the cages has a lot to do with the price level.
Size and requirement[edit]
In general, the larger and the more active the bird, the larger the cage one should use. The amount of time the bird will spend in the cage each day is also a factor. A bird that is caged most of the time requires far more space than a bird caged only at night.
Some birds have special requirements. Amazons and cockatiels prefer horizontal bars, as they like to climb. Messy eaters should have a seed skirt to catch food. Breeding birds may require a nest or breeding box and a larger size cage. Smart birds, like parrots and crows, need secure latching mechanisms to prevent them from figuring them out, and often require toys and/or playstands to keep them entertained. Parrots in general tend to gnaw on cages, with larger macaws known to tear bars from flimsy cages. Zinc coated cages or chicken wire could cause toxicity to parrots over a number of years.
A cage for a tame pet bird which is allowed out daily should be large enough to allow it to easily extend its wings fully without hitting cage sides or toys or objects within the cage. In some countries, it is illegal to house a pet bird in a cage that does not permit it to spread its wings. Wingspans of common pet birds range from approximately 30 cm (12 in) for a budgie and 41 cm (16 in) for a cockatiel up to as much as 91–122 cm (36–48 in) for the larger macaws.
Untame birds which are not allowed out of their cages regularly, such as most finches and canaries, require larger cages that are long enough to permit some flight. The bars should be spaced so that curious birds cannot stick their heads out of the cage and become stuck. The cage should also have non-toxic paint, because birds tend to gnaw at the cage, and if the paint is consumed, they can die from poisoning.
Cages should also be equipped with appropriate perches. There should be several diameters of perches available, but the diameter should be large enough so that the bird's toes are unable to overlap or completely wrap around the perch. Flight cages and aviaries should be equipped with perches at each end with open space in the middle for flight.

Sewing Cabinet to Swanky Nightstands : Before and After
September 17, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I have to admit, furniture transformations are one of my favorite things. I love picking up sad little pieces and turning them into something amazing, or at least amazing to me. The master bedroom in current home is much larger than our old bedroom, and I was really having a tough time finding nightstands or […]

What Does Love Look Like?What Does Love Look Like? I often think about love.I think about the shapes and forms it takes on.And I believe it is all around us, even when humanity isn't. What does love look like?It looks like the sunlight,Rays that shine through the clouds,Eternally keeping you warm and bright. What does love look like?It looks like death;The dwindling of the physical embodiment.Your hands may never hold each other's again…But the souls of true lovers will never fade, true love has no end. What does love look like?It looks like the tide of a sea.The way it flows in and away,Then back again.Love is a like a tide that always returns back to the shore,Because it cannot stay away for too long before it returns back to her.
ChrysanthemumChrysanthemum Last night, I dreamt of us.We were together on a mountaintop,I was sitting on the edge,With my legs dangling above the bottomless pit,With a lone, white chrysanthemum in my hand as I pull the petals from the stem.While you were standing above me, looking on, languidly,None of us wanting to say anything,My own mental battle sewing my lips to one another,Unable to speak,While you were probably trapped within your own mental depths;In my mind, I was debating between venting and jumping,Simply over the fact I didn't know what that look was in your eyes,But I think that's probably the point, that we're no longer of the same kind,Maybe I changed into something I'm unaware of, maybe you were the one to transform,But I don't get the same feel of what used to be,This is foreign to me,An unapologetic feeling of extreme apathy,And that is the unfortunate reality of this situation,No matter how long

If you can step away from the end-of-the-world hype for a second, you can instead focus on some club-style Christmas entertainment.
River Street Jazz Café will highlight the big December holiday with a double dose of Cabinet, set to play on consecutive nights with different openers. Kyle Morgan will take the stage before Cabinet tonight, and Mike Dougherty will open tomorrow.
Cabinet, a six-piece folk/bluegrass group, recently made waves locally due to its newest album, Leap.
The band recorded the tracks in front of a live studio audience, fans who contributed to the group's Kickstarter page, formed to help cover recording costs.
This forced the musicians – Pappy Biondo on banjo and vocals, J.P. Biondo on mandolin and vocals, Mickey Coviello on acoustic guitar and vocals, Dylan Skursky on electric bass and double bass, Todd Kopec on fiddle and vocals and Jami Novak on drums and percussion – to be on point with performance from the start.
It's like, 'Well, we have these days booked, and we're going to have people come in, so we've got to do it,' Coviello said. We had no choice. It kind of forced us to be on our game and really concentrate and try to play to the best of our ability.
If you're looking for some wind-down entertainment when the Christmas festivities wrap up Tuesday, the annual Christmas show with local band Suze is set for 10 p.m. at the River Street Jazz Café.
Suze, a blues/rock band out of Kingston, has been around a little more than five years. In April, the band released its debut album, When the World is Not Enough, its sound doused heavily in rock and blues with jazz and funk undertones.
The band is Adam McKinley on lead vocals and guitar, Brandin Shaffern on bass, Kevin Gallagher on drums, Adam Gabriel on lead guitar and Angelo Miraglia on keys.
If it's not really the end of the world as we know it, why not spend tonight hanging out with some of the local musicians who will toast the conclusion anyway? Take your pick of:
• The Chatter's End of the World Bash: 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. at Ole Tyme Charley's, 31 S. River St., Plains Township.
• Face the Apocalypse
with the Best Cover Bands
: 9:30 p.m. at Evans' Roadhouse, 330 North Hunter Highway, Drums, with Ostrich Hat and Kartune
• Apocalypse Party: 10 p.m. at Rodano's, 53 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, with Siege, Gino Lispi and the Abstract Peoples and DJ Tonez
• It's the End of the World at the Keys!: 9 p.m. at The Keys, 244 Penn Ave., Scranton, with Blinded Passenger, Kids on Bikes, and Days in Transit

Hey guys. GUess who?!?!?
For the people that don't know me. I am thebigpaki. Yea i really am paki. I am 17 and turning 18 in September. I started using this site i think two years ago. I mostly got on because i had nothing better to do at school. Most of the time ppl on this MB made fun of me bcuz i would ask for free tix or cheap tix. I didn't care though.
As for the offseason, I think it has been a good one. I like the ppl we got in FA. Matt schuab-Nice if he works out. I mean of course he will work out. Green- I hope he still has it in the tank. bethel johnson- I love this dude on madden mainly for his speed. Watch out Mathis. Black- i prefer him over salaman(however u spell his name). He has too many offside penalties last year. Made me mucho mad Davis- Never saw him play so can't say anything. didn't we get flecther also. I think i remember him for the chargers. He is a decent second cb imo. Man Amobi is too big for only being 20 years old.He will be a beast and Mario will also have a better season. My prediction: 10-6 I probably mispelled like ten times. sorry i still can't spell. Haha I will be posting more often from now on. Admin i didn't know where to put this thread so u can move it if u want. P.S. Anyone got any tix? Haha |

The exhibition re-envisions a series of urban environments that are typical for Chicago in order to examine alternatives to the way architecture engages the city. It is a collaborative effort by five teams – David Brown, Alexander Eisenschmidt, Studio Gang, Stanley Tigerman, and UrbanLab – determined to find potentials for spatial, material, programmatic, and organizational invention within the city. — City of Chicago
Same as it never was? What inspires a city to look back on abandoned plans?

If San Franciscans like to describe their city as "49 square miles surrounded by reality," the visionary ideas that were too grandiose for even San Franciscans to consider remain some of the most fantastic designs for any city in the world.

San Francisco is a small yet fierce city; its 7x7 mile girth is home to a rich history of social activism, tech start-ups, foodies, artists, composting programs and absurdist housing rates.

This Christmas, Keanu Reeves stars in a big budget 3-D adaptation of the tale of the 47 Ronin. Reeves is Kai, a disgraced swordsman man who joins Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada) on his quest to lead 47 outcast warriors seeking vengeance over an evil overload.
At the very least, it's the best Hollywood-version of Japanese tale opening this holiday season. So is Reeves speaking softly and carry a big blade enough?
Here are five things to know about Keanu and the rest of the masterless samurai:
PHOTOS: Dramas out this holiday season
1. Epic Tale Becomes Ho-Hum: The story of the 47 Ronin is one of Japan's most popular and beloved legends. Based loosely on events from the 18th century, the main plot follows the loyal samurai who become masterless ("ronin") when their leader Lord Asano (Min Tanaka) is tricked and forced to commit ritual seppuku (suicide by sword). The 47 waited a year, planning their vengeance. The new version includes an unneeded damsel (Kô Shibasaki) in distress sub plot, underdeveloped CGI creatures,and lots of 300-style slow-motion. Lost among the pizzazz is the most captivating aspect of the story: the 47's code of honor, one that was unflinching.
2. The Real Leader of the 47: Oishi leads his charge into battle and we're rooting for him the whole time. Keanu's Kai is probably the easiest to identify with, yet Oishi has the most layers. We wish the film had been more focused on him.
NEWS: Is The Wolf of Wall Street Leo's best film yet?
3. 3-D Meh: The production value of Ronin is spectacular. The colorful costumes, the huge set pieces, everything has a beautiful sheen to it. Sad then that the 3-D version suffers from the all too normal dark haze that plagues viewers wearing shades. If possible stick with 2-D presentation.
PHOTOS: Action and adventure movies
4. Watch the Witch: Credited as witch, Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim) is the shape-shifting henchwoman of overlord Kira (Tadanobu Asano). Her twisty satin-draped entrances are like some beguiling fashionista tornado. The character is pretty darn silly, but as least Kikuchi doesn't look like she's going to tear up in every scene like she did in Guillermo Del Toro's monsters vs. robots mash.
NEWS: Five things to know about The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
5. Only the Second Best Keanu Pic of the Season: Last month, Reeves starred and directed Man of Tai Chi. Set in modern Beijing with the help of his former Matrix fight choreographer Woo-ping Yuen, Chi was loose, fun, and had energy to spare. See it on VOD!

Fresh off signing a two-year extension that he negotiated himself with the 49ers, Justin Smith met briefly with the media at team headquarters Wednesday. Here is a transcript, highlighted by his thoughts on the process, on his future and the… Extra Point:
Justin Smith has been a complete professional for the 49ers, and his play on the field has nabbed him another 2 years of life with the team. Smith wants to finish his career playing, and he seems to be an honest judge of his own capability to do that. I expect at some point over the next three years for him to hang up his cleats. It will be a sad day for football... that's for sure.

EDGE OF SANITY An Edge Novel, Book 3 SHANNON K. BUTCHER ISBN# 9780451238818 4 December 2012 Signet Eclipse http://www.penguin.com Paperback $7.99 US/$8.99 CAN 368 Pages Action Romance Rating: 5 Cups
The blackouts and bruises are scary enough, but when Clay Marshall wakes up covered in blood, he knows this cannot go on. His best friend, Mira, takes the initiative Clay lacks to seek help, asking her friend, Payton, to get Clay to safety before he hurts someone else or himself.
Working with Payton, Dr. Leigh Vaughn has compromised more than just her medical license. Patching up and not reporting a gunshot wound is one thing. Letting a rabid killer walk around free is something else entirely.
Clay's aversion to doctors is of almost phobic proportions, so Leigh knows she has her work cut out for her just to keep him from bolting. Whoever messed with Clay's mind did a thorough job, yet the man himself stirs up all kinds of feelings that Leigh has never had for another man. Clay is so overwhelmed by everything he has learned about himself he can barely trust the feelings he is having for Leigh. Her very presence calms his soul, but there is no way he will allow her to come to harm by his hand or anyone else's.
When you cannot even trust your own mind, where do you turn? Clay's mind has been controlled for most of his life, and you can easily imagine his terror when he learns the truth. His anger, fear and disgust for himself would destroy a lesser man, but with Leigh by his side, he has the strength to persevere. I love that Leigh is as much, if not more, a dominant force in their relationship, and that she will fight tooth and nail to see Clay regain his life. This is a fantastic series, with each read able to stand alone; although once you get started, you will not ever be satisfied with just one!

text: Business Guest Why is our payment card data being hijacked? It's people — not PCI Image Credit: Shutterstock March 2, 2014 5:00 PM Christian Janoff, Cisco 0 Successful CMOs achieve growth by leveraging technology. Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston, where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited. Request your personal invitation here! Recent payment card data breaches in the headlines have led some here to criticize PCI standards. Elsewhere, the US government is scrutinizing how merchants and banks are securing card data. The problem with payment card security is not the PCI standards, it's people. Don't get me wrong. PCI is not perfect. I am both a supporter and critic of PCI. But PCI is a reflection of the world we live in. We are not yet mature enough to deal with the threats that are clearly in front of us. As few as 10 years ago, IT security was seen as a necessary evil. It was like car insurance. If you drive a car, you need to have insurance. But you feel like you waste your money every month, if you never get in a crash. So, it wasn't cultural to overspend on security but rather to do the bare minimum. We didn't see headlines about 100 million credit cards being stolen a decade ago, so attitude towards security was different then. You are Probably Already Breached Clearly things have changed. Anyone following security trends over the last few years realizes that there is a new mentality. It is no longer a matter of if you will be breached and how to prevent it. If you are a lucrative target, you are likely breached already. The new truth is not to avoid being breached but to minimize the amount of successful attacks once they get in and to be capable enough to stop the damage as soon as possible, or before the actors can steal the data they are after. It is no longer just about defending a perimeter, but about the ability to disrupt the intent of the attackers. We need layers of security and an approach that combines people and process with technology. This is what the PCI standards do. This is the new reality. Today there are new complexities and new attack surfaces. This has nothing to do with any proposed failures of PCI; it just reflects this new reality. It has to do with the fact that thieves are making billions of dollars. According to Verizon, fraud was responsible for about $2 billion around the year 2000. By 2012, it climbed to $12 billion. That is a steady return for criminals, and I don't think that is going to change. A New Attitude for a New Reality In a recent report, Verizon states that when it conducted PCI assessments, only 10 percent of the merchants they visited passed their baseline compliance audit in 2012. Clearly, many merchants are having trouble becoming compliant or maintaining compliance year round. As the breaches continue to grow, it is easy to point a finger at PCI and say that we need something better. And I agree. But it's not a new standard or a federal regulation we need — it's a new attitude. Over the last decade, I have been working in the security space with some of the largest companies across the world. Some take security very seriously, and some just want to do the minimum. In this modern world of risk, even the companies that are taking threats seriously are not entirely safe. A new attitude towards security needs to be supported throughout the company starting at the highest level. This attitude needs to take security seriously. It means hiring well-trained staff and paying them well. It means purchasing quality security systems. It means developing a security strategy and policy that is proactive and not reactive. With this renewed vigor and vigilance, companies are still not safe. But, they are much safer than the ones that don't have it – the statistics prove it. And that is the unfortunate reality that we must all face. We are not safe. Anyone who thinks any security standard can save us all is still not listening to the music. The PCI standards, however, are today's best prescription for minimizing the likelihood of a breach and for helping to mitigate the damage. There is no alternative or silver bullet to shoot the monster with. It all comes down to that well-known punchline from an ominous joke: You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the slowest runner.

Faced with the stiff challenges posed to the aviation industry by rising fuel costs, Euro debt crisis and infrastructure bottlenecks, the Union Civil Aviation Ministry has embarked upon several initiatives for propelling the aviation sector.
The Ministry is working out on an economic policy framework for future airports to attract investments as well as ensure their viability. This is in addition to allowing 100 per cent foreign direct investments in the Greenfield airports under the automatic route and formulation of an Air Cargo Promotion Policy which will soon be brought out for consultations, Union Minister for Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said here on Wednesday.
Mr. Singh formally launched the India Aviation 2012, the third edition of the country's premier aviation exhibition and conference, here on Wednesday. The event, according to FICCI civil aviation committee chairman Dinesh Keskar, has seen 20 per cent increase in participation compared to the previous edition with more than 200 companies including the leading aircraft manufacturers taking part in it.
Mr. Singh said the Ministry was working upon a framework to modernise regulatory work for aerospace sector including its promotion. Coupled with this was the bilateral aviation safety agreement with the FAA of the US that was expected to boost export of aeronautic products.
The Minister admitted that the aviation sector that felt the tremors of the slowdown witnessed contraction of cargo markets worldwide by 0.7 per cent. Growth in demand lagged behind the increase in capacity for passenger and cargo segments, putting downward pressure on loan factors and yield.
"The skies are not expected to clear anytime soon and 2012 could prove to be equally challenging with European airlines likely to be hit the hardest in 2012," he warned. The Asia Pacific region was expected to provide the "boost that is badly required'' and this would be led by the expanding Indian and Chinese markets.
The trend would continue over the next few years, shifting the aviation's centre of gravity eastward and by 2015, the APAC region was likely to account for 37 per cent of the passenger traffic compared to traffic associated with Europe and North America that was expected to fall to 29 per cent. Global aircraft fleet was expected to be doubled by 2030 of which APAC would account for about a third of all new aircraft deliveries.
In the Indian context, he said the country would continue to register domestic passenger growth at 9 to 10 per cent and it was expected to be among the first three markets with about 420 million passengers as against the 140 million handled in 2010. Indian airspace would see nearly 3.2 million aircraft movements including over-flying.
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister S. Jaipal Reddy said special attention was needed to promote aviation sector in view of the robust growth in the economy since the past few years. Concentration towards this end should be on middle class as it was seen as one way to come out of the current slowdown. The Government was committed to promote the aviation sector in spite of its priorities by addressing the challenges it was facing.
Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, DGAC France head of international operation Elisabeth Dallo, and Peter Burleigh, Charge d Affaires, US Mission in India, also spoke.

What have you got to prove man? I have yet to see a positive comment of yours. Maybe you're kidding to see how many people bite, maybe you really do feel the way you say you do. Either way, its getting old. Most of the world surfs in mediocre spots, but its about enjoying what you've got (or move). If you surf epic places all the time I should think it would have mellowed you out a bit by now. When I'm surfed out I can't find a negative thing to say.

Have any of you used this or something similar to it? I am looking at it for my 90 gmc suburban. http://bit.ly/161pLmj
no im sorry. I asked the same question a while ago and this was the guy every directed me to. They say he is a great guy to deal with. I used one of his articles to figure out my speedometer issue if that matters lol.
You know what they say, "if it is too good to be true, then it is"! I bought my from PCMforless. http://www.pcmforless.com/ They ask you all the right questions, and burn a custom CHIP. Very easy to install, and I am very satisfied with my results.
I figured as much. That's why I asked about similar chips. That was just an easy to post example thanks for the input!

See the picture I took at the social.
As this is a hypertext document you can immediately skip down to the most appealing-sounding section ("Butter", I'm sure).
DIRECTIONS: Read each story carefully and answer the questions at the end. Mark only one answer per question. Use only a #2 pencil. Erase mistakes completely. There is no penalty for guessing.
Don Harlow organized the social to be held at the Taiwan Restaurant
in Berkeley at 6:00 on Saturday 8/24. He warned us about parking...
He said that he'd gotten one parking ticket from a time when nobody
in his family or using any of his cars could possibly have been
anywhere near Berkeley. He got another ticket from when he stopped
for 10 seconds to drop off his wife... the ticket came in the mail
and bore the note "Car drove off". The kicker, though, was when
Don drove past Berkeley and merely thought about parking there.
His ThoughtCrime was picked up by an experimental remote cerebral
sensor, and he got a ticket. It, too, came in the mail but bore
the note "Driver changed his mind."
Most parking was legal by 6:00 on Saturday, but few spaces were
available. I had to park "right near the Clarendon Metro Stop",
as Pam joked. Actually, I think the subway sign said "Berkeley".
Anyway, I found a space near the Wells Fargo Bank. When I later
mentioned this at the table, I almost precipitated a fight.
Geez, you West Coast folks take banking too seriously.
As my hike back from Clarendon made me a few minutes late, I walked
right into the restaurant to see if I could find some darkfriendly-
looking people. Sharon (whom I didn't know before she introduced
herself) recognized me from the picture(s) on my webpage and
welcomed me over to her table. I asked her if any other darkfriends
had arrived yet, but she said she didn't see any. She said there
were some suspicious-looking people in the next room, though.
I looked through the portal and saw a table full of suspicious-
looking people, with a very suspicious-looking copy of ACoS
perched atop their table like a lighthouse beacon guiding befogged
darkfriends to safety. Sharon and I joined Don Harlow, Ester
Harlow, Courtney Footman, and Emma Pease.
We ordered food and I started passing around my "Newsfroup Family
Photo Album". It's a collection of pictures from past socials
I've been to.
Our food arrived. Esther's dish looked like pea pods in snot.
Not yellow snot like when you have an allergy or green snot like
when you have an infection, but plain-old clear snot. It looked
like a 600-pound snail crawled across her plate or like a whale
coughed on top of her peas.
Anyway, enough of that. All that snot talk is starting to make me
Pam Basham, Kevin, and P.J. joined us. They had driven from LA
for the social. Pam and Kevin wondered if driving ~400 miles for
a social made them "weird". As there were two East Coasters at
the table (myself, from North Carolina, and Courtney Footman from
New York), they certainly weren't the weirdest by distance measure.
Of course, I had an excuse. I was staying in Oakland for a few job
interviews, so I didn't pay to travel to the DFS. And, the flight
from home to the Bay Area was only about 7 hours, which is considerably
less than John Novak's and Pam Korda's "You drove 15 hours just to
have lunch?!" car trek from Illinois to a DC DFS.
We squeezed around the table to make room for the three new arrivals.
Apparently the only DF group that can afford more than one table
are the Texans. Maybe Texan tables are really small. Or maybe
Texans are really big. (Maybe that 600-pound snail was from Texas.)
We discussed our thoughts about Cadsuane. I said, "I think
Cadsuane is really just Verin in disguise." Several people mis-heard
that as "PERRIN in disguise."
We talked about Faile. We started with an initial vote, in which
about half of us said we liked her and half of us hated her.
After a few minutes, I think we all agreed that Faile will be a
better person once she works out some problems.
Someone at the social -- it must have been a newbie -- brought up
the perpetually asked question of who would play which character
in a screenplay/animation of the series. Don (I think) quickly
diverted it to, "Which Sesame Street characters would play...."
I don't remember what everyone else suggested, but I thought
that Big Bird should play Rand, and Snuffaluppagus should play
Lews Therin, since only Big Bird sees Snuffy, and everyone else
thinks Big Bird is crazy.
Ernie and Bert would be Aginor and Balthamel, largely because of
their silly laughs. Also, Ernie and Bert have been rumored to
be gay, which sorta fits with Balthamel being reincarnated into
a woman's body.
Imagine Cookie Monster as Eamon Valda. "Darkfriends. Me smell
darkfriends! Oh, darkfriend everywhere! Me kill darkfriends!!
Finally, Oscar the Grouch would play Faile. And Nynaeve. And
Egwene. And Elayne. And just about any female character, now
that I think about it. :)
[What's that? FAMILY newsfroup, you say?]
Friends, I'm getting complaints from the viewers already, so I'll
have to forgo my description of strip clubs. I will, however,
tell you about the Hookers.
A fellow named Michael Hooker is the chancellor of UNC Chapel Hill.
The local school newspaper loves to have fun (or so it is my
opinion) by carefully wording and warping its headlines. For
example, Hooker arrived to take his position last year around
July 4th. Above a picture of the would-be chancellor looking at
a fireworks display, the newspaper ran the headline, "HOOKER COMES
Another funny headline that now adorns my wall ran in the paper
the morning after the chancellor's wife, Carmen Hooker, addressed a
women's support group. "HOOKER ADVISES WOMEN TO BECOME INDEPENDENT
OF MEN", the top of the article read.
So of course it was understandable that when I read headlines like
"Morris accused of affair with hooker", I wondered why so many
newspapers in other cities were trying to use a local joke.
"What time is it?"
We headed down to Telegraph Road, the collegetown strip section of
Berkeley. Pam's already given me flack about my insistence on
finding street parking. We only had to park 3 blocks away; that's
closer than the chinese restaurant that's "right next to the
Clarendon Metro Stop." More than the cost of parking in a garage,
my concern was that all the garages we saw said they closed and
locked up at 1am. At that point, I didn't know that Berkeley
closed down and rolled up its sidewalks at 12:30. I honestly
thought we could stay out until 2 or 2:30, in which case returning
to find one's car under lock-n-key until 9:00 the following morning
would be almost as bad as the parking travesty at the recent DC social.
As Pam already griped, the summer weather in Berkeley was very
un-summery. Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever spent
was a summer in San Francisco." Twain always was a master of
Just to remind myself that it was mid-August and not mid-February,
I got an ice cream cone at the coffee shop we went to first.
It didn't melt but rather froze solid as I ate it.
PJ wisely got hot coffee.
Berkeley's a weird place. It's not just the 50 degrees F weather
in August, but the people. Berkeley has the highest per-capita
population of panhandlers I've ever seen, and they come in all ages
from about 15 to 85. In Berkeley, 10% of the men look like Jerry
Brown. Another 10% look like Jerry Garcia. 40% of the men over
40 dress and act like teenagers. The women are weird, too, of course.
I saw this one gal who had her tongue pierced and had something that
looked like a vacuum cleaner attached to it. All I can say is, I'll
bet her blow jobs are outta this world!
We picked a decent-looking pub (Raleigh's) and entered. Right
inside the door was a young guy with a dog. The dog was lying in
front of the table, licking his balls. The guy was scopin' the
room. I was tempted to walk over and say, "Look, kid, you're
trying to pick up babes, but I gotta tell you, the dog lickin'
hisself in front o' the table is a real turnoff." Instead, I
just made fun of him behind his back.
We grabbed a table near the back (far from Puppy and Boy Wonder).
P.J. and I went to get some beer. Pam sniffed at our choice. Kevin
drank a coke. That left P.J. and me to drink most of 2 pitchers.
Burp. We didn't complain.
After the bar kicked us out at closing time, we returned to the car
and found that the tree P.J. parked beneath had begun to eat the
car. I fought valiently to get to my door -- tearing the hapless
tree limb from limb, you might say -- and managed to tumble into
the vehicle with minimal damage to myself. One of the branches
caught in my door, so I opened the door to free it. Then I decided
that having the branch caught in the door was really funny, so I
opened the door again, grabbed the branch, and slammed the door on it.
We drove off with my little cutting from the Tree of Life. Gee,
does this mean I get cast as Laman in the next "Who would play..."
We found an all-nite diner somewhere near the hotel Pam, Kevin,
and P.J. were staying at. I think the restaurant's name was
something like "Hot Links and Eggs". I don't really remember...
I was drunk at the time and was trying to focus on my driving. :)
A better name for that diner would be "Free butter with every
entree." Everything we were served came with butter. Rolls?
They come with butter, of course. Eggs? butter. Sausage? butter.
Even the chocolate/chocolate-chip muffin I ordered came with three
dishes of butter.
We left behind most of the butter, along with one of the rolls.
Actually, I'm not sure whether that was a roll or a dislodged brick
from the exterior wall of the restaurant. They both made the same
thud and left the same type of dent when dropped from a small height.
I was both very tired and very beered, so I drove out to my car,
stumbled home, turned out the door, opened the light, undressed my
bed, and hopped into my clothes. Or at least that's how I remember
it. It was all okay when I woke up the next morning, except I couldn't
figure out why there was a traffic cone and a meter maid's ticketbook
on the floor of my room.
Back to the Darkfriend Socials page
I. Darkfriends in the City of Love
I visited the Bay Area last week for several job interviews. I
like to meet darkfriends when I travel (remind me to describe
sometime how a fellow DF and I were standing next to the altar
at my sister's wedding), and so in preparation for this trip I
contacted a few BAD (Bay Area Darkfriend) people.
II. "Who Would Play..."
The nine of us put our brains together to form one super intellect
to answer some of those burning questions about the series. Between
us we were easily 3 times as smart as a normal person.
III. Strip Dancers and Hookers
You may have heard rumors about my recent visits to strip clubs.
You may have heard rumors about what I know about hookers.
I stand before you now to say that these rumors are completely,
without a doubt,
true. So I might as well tell the story now so that y'all hear
it straight from the... er... goat's mouth.
IV. Beer
Sometime during the evening I mentioned that I'd like to go out
to a pub afterwards. P.J.'s eyes lit up. "Beer?!" he whispered
excitedly. I think only Pam, Kevin, and I heard. The rest of the
table were discussing something totally worthless like X-Men comics.
"Beer" because a monosyllabic mantra that we mouthed across the
table for over two hours, until we finally managed to ditch the
homebodies and go out for a pub crawl.
"It's beer o'clock." -- P.J.
V. Butter
The four of us intrepid pubcrawlers got the munchies as we drove
off. Unfortunately, not only does Berkeley shut down at midnight on
weekends, but pretty much everything else around does, too.

Lux Sedan (2.0L 4-cyl. Turbo 6-speed Automated Manual)
2012 Volkswagen CC Sedan Lux 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
I bought the car about 2 years ago as a commuter vehicle, and after putting over 50k miles on this car, I can confidently say this is one of the worst cars I've ever owned. The speedometer is 5 mph off (something VW told me was acceptable in their vehicles), the trunk opens when putting the car into gear unless you lock the doors before hand, the car idles incredibly rough when first started, the small engine paired with a turbo makes pulling out into any sort of traffic a game of roulette (due to the lag before the engine responds to the gas pedal), and the air conditioner sensors have gone out twice.
The list continues, but the point is this is my first and last VW.

2012 Volkswagen CC Sedan Lux 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
We have been driving the CC for 5 months now and we love it! Cruises wonderfully and gives us just enough get up and go around the city to keep things interesting. Gas mileage is great, better than advertised. The 2.0 Turbo is a great engine that seems to perform better than the specs. The styling and quality, inside and out is classy lux for a price much less than similar lux vehicles. I definately like that we have yet to see another CC on the hwy. A truely beautiful car that performs admirably in its class.

and told me that he could put me in a 2012 CC Lux for 50 dollars less than I was paying on my 2008 Passat Lux.
Both cars are wonderful but the touchscreen stereo not only sounds better with better bass but it has a port for a sd card. the sd card I use is 32gb thats holds over 2200 songs 800 cds. needless to say I no longer have need for SiriusXm or cds. It also has Hd radio and bluetooth for hands free use of your phone. plus it has 3 year free maintenance.

Spincah smoothie
I made this last week and it gave me a MASSIVE buzz of energy and made me feel absolutely amazing!
Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips
Salt and vinegar potato chips. A variation on Rawkidchef's "potato cakes" recipe. You could also try this with sweet potato. I am interested to try it with yuca but don't know how well that would work with the spiral slicer... Makes a great crunchy, salty snack.
Golden Kumara Chips
Kumara is an iconic New Zealand vegetable and a staple of traditional Maori cooking. It's also known as sweet potato in the northern hemisphere and comes in a variety of colours and flavours. It's rich in anti-oxidants and one of the top potassium rich foods. Kumara is also high in vitamin A and C and full of fibre. You could really use any colour, the orange ones are just much sweeter than the red, white fleshed kumara.
Banana Towers
THis recipe is simple and quick to prepare!
And especially great if you are trying to get your kids to eat healthier. (:
Cauliflower Curry
This is a really easy and versatile curry. You can have it on it's own, with crackers or so many other ways and all the spices are really warming so it's great if you're feeling the cold.

In the question i forgot to mention that G is transitive on A(sorry for that).
with this in mind there exists a
for such a g there exists a bijection:
to prove this consider
from my first post
to show that the mapping is injective i must show that
i will use contradiction to do so. Assume which is a contradiction. so the map is injective.
has the injection been shown correctly? If this is correct then i can attempt to show the surjection too. Please comment.
I have committed a mistake in defining the bijection, what i should have written is the following:
you have asked whether it can be said for sure that .
I show that it is sure to hold. proof: since
but we know that
now since
Thank you for your help. is the definition of the bijection alright now? it was a blunder on my part
