These socks, from past experience, are fine. They are good for both athletic and everyday wear. They stand up to multiple washes with vigerous bleaching very well, however the elastic wears and they tend to stretch after about 4-6 months.

Results vs. Catawba (2007-03-27 17:00:00)
March 27, 2007
|Baseball Loses 10-6
|Tuesday, 27 March 2007
|SALISBURY, NC -- Catawba rallied from a six-run deficit to defeat visiting 10-6 Pfeiffer in baseball action on Tuesday night. Pfeiffer stands at 18-18 on the season while Catawba improves to 24-12.
Bryan Braxton put Pfeiffer on the board with a solo homer in the first then the Falcons scored five times in the third. Ryan Brown had a RBI double and Kyle Pugh a RBI single before Zack Pou hit a three-run homer for the early 6-0 edge.
Zach Strickland held Catawba to just two hits over the first five innings, but the Indians began their rally in the sixth. Jerry Sands cut the lead in half with a three-run homer to chase Strickland then Craig Lyerly had a RBI single and Chad Baker a bases-loaded walk off reliever Tim Peele to pull within 6-5.
The Indians took the lead with another five-run frame in the seventh. David Thomas doubled with one out and Zach Evans followed with a home run for a 7-6 lead. Lee Page added some insurance with a three-run homer.
Fairweather improved to 5-2, while Peele (1-2) took the loss.
Pfeiffer travels to Tusculum Wednesday for a 3:30 pm game.

The square Spanish Mission Red floor tiles are the most popular and come in the following sizes: 8x8, 12x12, and 16x16 in. The tiles can be used throughout an entire project. As one of mans earliest discoveries, terra cotta tile embodies timelessness. Perhaps its classic appeal stems from the richness of the earth baked into it or how it glows at the mere hint of sunlight. Spanish Mission Red Terra Cotta floor tiles combine color and texture to create the rare beauty of centuries-old tradition.
The properties of earthtone color, and texture of our Spanish Mission Red Tile are derived from its clay. The tiles are composed of clay deposits from California and totally handcrafted using old-world methods introduced to this region by the first Spanish explorers and missionaries. Using local natural resources the early Spanish settlers made the first Missions with adobe clay tiles, which were only sun-air dry. And covered floors, walls, and roofs with terra cotta tiles (baked earth). Clay tiles were essential for the foundations of the first California Missions, and continue today to be an important element in the building of Spanish Revival Architecture homes in California, and in other states such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida to name a few.
All Spanish Mission Tiles must be sealed in order to preserve their beauty. We recommend to use a high quality penetrating sealer such as 511 Impregnator or 511 Porous Plus from Miracle Sealants Company
511 Porous Plus is a penetrating sealer designed for the protection of the most porous surfaces. 511 Porous Plus forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Porous Plus is not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look. All surfaces are harder and less slippery. Therefore, 511 Porous Plus is highly recommended for all our Mexican terra-cotta floor tiles.
NOTE: The process of making the Spanish Mission floor tiles is the same as the process of making Saltillo floor tiles.
The clay is extracted from mines that are nearby the hills of Saltillo, Coahuila. Once the clay has been extracted and consolidated in wells it is soaked in water.
The clay is left soaking in water overnight before it is ready to be transformed into beautiful rustic handcrafted Saltillo floor tiles.
A cart wheel is used to bring the Saltillo clay to a working area where it will be transformed into a Saltillo tile bisque.
Artisans bring some of the clay from clay pool. And make each tile by hand. The artisan makes tiles in sucession and fills rows and rows of handcrafted Saltillo floor tiles.
To make Saltillo floor tiles the clay is placed in individual wooden molds.
|And an artisan spreads the Saltillo clay with his hands.
The creation of each Mexican handcrafted floor paver involves a laborious process.The artisan makes sure the mold is well covered with an even thickness of clay.
The artisan smooths the surface of the handcrafted Saltillo floor terra cotta tile with a piece of wood.
Artisans smooth the surface of each handcrafted Saltillo floor tile some more.
Rows of Saltillo tile pavers dry up under the sun before they are fired in a kiln.
Mexican handcrafted floor pavers are piled after they are fired, before they are packed to be shipped. Look for the ocassional bird or coyote footprints marks on handcrafted floor tiles. The variations in shades and colors are unique charateristics of handmade tiles. Handcrafted floor tiles bring warmth and interest to any environment.
How to Order Tile Samples
|You may order samples online or by phone. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. When ordering samples please keep in mind there is no guarantee tile samples will match future orders due to the handmade process.
|Available sizes (all in inches) 12x12, 8x8, 6x12, 12x12 Hexagon, 8x8 Hexagon, 12 Arabesque 1, 8 Arabesque Picket, 9x11 Arabesque 2, 12x4 Picket, 4x12 Cove Base, 12x12 Stair Tread.
|Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to ¼ in. Sizes are nominal; meaning that sizes vary from the actual.
|Unsealed Red body clay, Spanish Mission Red tiles are fired at a low temperatures using wood as combustible. Therefore, scratches and imperfections are intrinsic of these terracotta tiles.
|Mission Red Tiles are highly porous and easily absorbs liquids.
|Mission Red tiles may be concave or cupped (not perfectly flat) and soft. May have chipped edges, craters, and vary in texture.
|Tile Thickness
|Spanish Mission Red tile has a ½ in. thickness. May have variation in thickness
|Suitable for all residential and commercial floor applications. We recommend applying Porous Plus from Miracle Sealant (or comparable sealer) for highly porous tile, which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is subject to climate change, exterior applications with moderate climate.
|Spanish Mission Red tile is NOT frost proof.
|Recommended Grout Width
|¼ in. grout line suggested. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Recommended Grout Type
|Use sanded grout. We recommend to seal tiles and grout lines with a high penetrating sealer.
|Color, Size and Design Variation
|Variety of color and size between tiles and within individual tiles. Vary in colors within a range of natural earth tones from red and oranges.
|Customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Installation Recommendations
|Tierra y Fuego strongly recommends consulting an experienced licensed contractor for the installation of your Spanish Mission Red floor tiles. Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size and color variation, we recommend to shuffle thru several boxes before installation. The surface of Spanish Mission Red tiles must be pre-sealed with a penetrating sealer before installation; this will prevent staining and reduce the probability of efflorescence. We recommend to use a high quality penetrating sealer such as 511 Porous Plus. 511 Porous Plus is a penetrating sealer designed for the protection of the most porous surfaces. 511 Porous Plus is not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look of your tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface.
|Care Recommendations
|For routine maintenance immediately clean any spills. Damp mop floor tile with a neutral PH cleanser, and water, as needed. Never use abrasive cleaners, acids or bleaches.
|How Much Extra Tile to Order
|Industry standard recommends adding on 5-10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations. Specially with diagonal patterns.
|How to Order Tile Samples
|You may order samples online or by phone. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. When ordering samples please keep in mind there is no guarantee tile samples will match future orders due to the handmade process.

If you've delivered a baby by C-section, you might have a choice with your next pregnancy — schedule a repeat C-section or attempt vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
Years ago, a C-section ended any hope of future vaginal deliveries. But today, thanks largely to changes in surgical technique, VBAC is possible in many cases. In fact, an estimated 75 percent of women who try VBAC have a successful vaginal delivery.
VBAC isn't right for everyone, though. Sometimes a pregnancy complication or underlying condition prevents the possibility of a successful VBAC. Many local hospitals don't offer VBAC because they don't have the staff or resources to handle emergency C-sections.
Women consider VBAC for various reasons, including:
The chances of a successful VBAC are higher if:
The chances of a successful VBAC are lower if:
You're not a candidate for VBAC if you have any health conditions that might affect a vaginal delivery or you had a uterine rupture during a previous pregnancy. Similarly, VBAC isn't recommended if you've had a vertical uterine incision — the type of uterine incision most likely to rupture during labor.
VBAC might be possible with twins if the lower twin is in the headfirst position, but VBAC generally isn't an option for triplets or other multiples.
VBAC poses potentially serious risks.
Labor results in a repeat C-section for an estimated 25 percent of women who attempt VBAC, often because the baby doesn't tolerate labor.
If you must have a repeat C-section after labor has begun, you face a slightly higher risk of C-section complications — such as a uterine infection — than if you had a planned repeat C-section.
Rarely, the uterus may tear open along the scar line from a prior C-section.
If your uterus ruptures — either before or during labor — an emergency C-section is needed to prevent life-threatening complications, including blood loss, infection and brain damage for the baby.
When delivery takes place in a hospital equipped to handle such emergencies, rarely is the baby at risk. In some cases, however, the uterus might need to be removed (hysterectomy) to stop the bleeding.
If your uterus is removed, you won't be able to get pregnant again.
For some women, pelvic floor problems also are a concern.
The weight and pressure of pregnancy can weaken the pelvic floor muscles that support the uterus, and vaginal delivery can stretch the pelvic floor muscles even farther. This can lead to temporary urinary incontinence, particularly for women who give birth vaginally.
If you choose VBAC, boost your odds of a positive experience:
If you choose VBAC, your prenatal care will be just like the care you'd receive during any other healthy pregnancy. When you go into labor, you'll follow the same process as any woman expecting to deliver vaginally — although more precautions will be taken during labor. This is called a trial of labor.
Here's what to expect:
Remember, your ultimate goal is a healthy baby and a healthy mom — regardless of how you get there.

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery includes:
For the benefit of women in western Massachusetts, Baystate Medical Center gynecologic surgeons use the minimally invasive approach to most pelvic surgeries, including hysterectomies.
Formerly, our mothers and grandmothers underwent gynecologic surgeries with large abdominal incisions, entailing increased risks of blood loss, infection, pain and a long hospital stay. Those who underwent vaginal surgery where the surgeon operated through a natural orifice (the vagina) to remove or correct diseases of the uterus and vagina were considered fortunate.
While many women are still candidates for vaginal surgery, many others need surgeries that provide a full view of the pelvic contents. Robotic surgery utilizes miniature TV cameras that enable the surgeon to see the surgical site and manipulate a remote-controlled instruments that perform the surgery with microscopic precision. This combination of laparoscopic and robotic procedures offers these women smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities and work.
The two da Vinci surgical systems in use at Baystate Medical Center enable our skilled laparoscopic surgeons to treat gynecologic cancers and severe pelvic diseases with greater accuracy and success. Very obese women, in particular, benefit from the smaller incisions that laparoscopic surgery require.
When a woman needs a hysterectomy, she should feel confident that she and her physician have made choices that will produce the best possible outcomes.

They were beautiful, easy to design, quick to ship and the package that they came with along with the extra's in the box to help me design the invitations made me feel special and appreciated! Love them!
Great Magnets!
I liked these magnets! I changed the names and pictures only. They turned out really nice. The design was awesome and the magnets themselves looked professional and beautiful. I got the shipment quickly and hassle free. My biggest complaint were the envelopes. Half of the adhesive on each envelope was missing on 90% of the envelopes provided. This was quite frustrating because I ended up having to use a glue stick to get half of every envelope closure to stay. That is why I rated them poorly in the material department. Otherwise, the services rendered were great!

Syntactic macros allow new language constructs to be created. See Macros for a list of existing ones in boo.
We could, for example, mimic VisualBasic's with statement.
Given the following code:
If we define a 'with' macro we could rewrite it like this:
In boo, macros are CLI objects that implement the Boo.Lang.Compiler.IAstMacro interface. It is interesting to note that there is nothing magic about these objects. They must simply implement the interface the compiler expects. This implies that boo macros can be written in any CLI language!
When an unknown syntactic structure is encountered at compile time, like the
with statement above, the compiler will look for the correct IAstMacro class, create an instance, and ask that instance to expand the macro. The compiler identifies the class to use via a simple naming convention. The class name must start with the name of the macro and end with 'Macro'. Additionally the Pascal case naming convention must be used. So in this case the name must be 'WithMacro'.
Here's the code to implement our macro:
Some explanation is in order. The parsing stage of the compiler pipeline parses a source stream into an abstract syntax tree (AST). A subtree, corresponding to the macro, will be passed to the Expand() method. Expand() is responsible for building an AST that will replace the provided subtree.
The subtree corresponding to a macro statement is embodied by the MacroStatement parameter.
A MacroStatement has a collection of arguments and a block.
In this case we expect a single argument: a reference to an object. We then traverse the block looking for references whose name begins with the '_' character. Whenever we encounter one, we replace it with a reference to a member.
There are two classes related specifically to AST traversal: DepthFirstVisitor and DepthFirstTransformer. Both classes walk an AST invoking appropriate methods for each type of element in the tree. In this case, we subclassed DepthFirstTransformer as a convenient way to find and replace ReferenceExpression nodes in the macro's block.
You can find this plus other macro examples in the examples/macros directory.
A custom macro syntax is also planned.
Built-in macros

With Halloween just around the corner, you might be tempted to make your cat or dog a star by dressing him up in the cutest mini-sized costume you can find. But wait—is trick-or-treat apparel really safe for your furry friends?
Our experts suggest putting your pet in a costume only if you're sure he will enjoy it. Some pets love the limelight: wearing a costume and posing for pictures is a blast! Others prefer to stick to their birthday suits for all occasions, and being dressed like a pumpkin for their pet parents' amusement can cause unnecessary stress.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are some helpful safety tips to keep in mind:
- Your pet's Halloween garb should not constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, you'll want to ditch the mini-pirate hat and vest.
- Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
- IDs, please! Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
For a complete list of animal safety guidelines for this spooky holiday, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips for pet parents.
Tell us: Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween?
ONLY if the animal is OK with it and it is comfortable, not too hot, and safe as per the guidelines ASPCA just posted, then go ahead and dress the pet. They like being included in family activities, and if the rest of the family is having a blast dressing up, the pet may want to be included in the fun. Might not know what the fun is, but when its human puts a costume on and everyone fusses over it, the pet will love the attention. Some pets really do love clothes, especially really small or thin-furred breeds. No matter how cute the costume is, let the pet make the final decision on whether to dress up or not.
I work at a hospital and there is a group of ladies that have permission to bring dogs in to the hospital for pt's healing therapy but for Halloween they dress the dogs in costume that i feel is unsafe and cruel to the dogs. They have them in masks, body costume as well as around their legs.
Is this unsafe and cruel or am i just being to sensative?
If unsafe whom may i call in my community to report this to?
Some of you who think dressing your dog up is cruel must have bigger dogs and/or live in warmer climents. I have a maltese and live in PA, my dog would freeze if I didn't put something on her. It's the same as you wearing a hat in the winter since all no shed breeds have hair not fur which means no warm undercoat. You people are probably the same people that think it's wrong to put a leash on a kid which I also used to do as a safty precaution with my son. As with the kid leash I also belive the dog clothes need to be on a case by case basis, but people shouldn't judge what others feel is the right thing for their family and pets.
I dress my dog up every year. Usually a t-shirt with a halloween design. My dog Likes clothes. He gets excited when i'm about to dress him up. I only put it on for his walk in the afternoon and for photos.
Some people enjoy halloween and want to celebrate it with their pet, just like you would a child BTW.
Anyone who thinks that is abuse, hasn't actually seen an abused dog. Save your outrage for actual abusers.
If God wanted pets/animals in costumes, He would dressed them Himself!! All I put on my dog is a harness/leash and maybe a bandana. And don't forget the reflectors!!
If God wanted pet/animals dressed in Halloween costumes, He would have dressed them Himself!! All I put on my dog is a harness/leash and/or a bandana. Happy Halloween to you all!!
I have 6 cats and 2 dogs. I am going to make each one of them a stretchy Halloween collar so that all of my kiddos will be wearing matching outfits. My ll year old Hannah will wear her usual Halloween sweater and greet the children as she does every year (and just loves it)! Since 3 of my cats are black, they will be carefully tucked away in my bedroom, but I will take a picture of them all before the evening is over. My chihuahua, Matilda, is not a happy camper when people are at the door, so no other costume for her (other than her stretchy Halloween collar) and no helping to answer the door. The safety and comfort of each of my individual pets is paramount!
I think what "The Experts" wrote regarding pet costumes is dead-on. The owner ought to make sure to be completely in tune with their pet's comfort level in a costume, as well as being well aware of any safety hazards. Pets are living creatures with feelings, not props or dolls for our amusement, even though they're pretty good at being hilariously amusing a lot of the time!
It is always fun to see a little dog or cat dressed up in a 3-piece power suit with eyeglasses perched on their snouts, but the priority should always be the animal's comfort, not our fun. If the pet likes it, then go for it. Otherwise, their being stressed out is not worth the laughs or that first-place prize for cutest costume.
I think, in my own personal opinion that dressing up dogs is wrong, but some dogs may be cold and that is the only way to keep them warm
(by the way i am 12 and that is as much as i could take in)
i have a 6mos old mix cat this halloween i plan to put her in a witches skirt. Its not like im keeping her all day in that skirt. I like to dress up my cat for a few mins and take pics of her then take off the outfits bc i would not want her to be miserable. I see nothing wrong in dressing up your pet just as long as its safe and their comfy. I dont have any kids and to me my cat is like my baby. Of course im not mad enough to take her outside in a stroller, i would never cross that line. I plan to get her a hareness and take her outside when weather is nice and it would be a nice lil work out for both of us. (although people will think im crazy that im walking a cat! Lol )

I really expected that of all the budding stars on the Clips, Band would be the on Sterling felt he had to give the max contract. But this is Sterling and the Clips. With the rumored dealus interuptus -- apparently because he couldn't bear to part with Odom -- on draft night, the drafting of two 4's no one seems to have a whole lot of interest in, and the public statement that he would not offer Brand the max, it looks like the Clips may have put themselves into a situation where they have to sacrifice Brand to get the PG they covet and keep all the other players theywant.
Personally, I don't get it. I dont think too much of Odom, and with Miles and Maggette at the 3, Odom would hardly be missed. He's a great handling and pretty good passing 3 whoi s really not fast or explosive enough to go over or by defenders. Plus the wrist injury. Brand is a consistent workhorse who gives you 20 & 10 nightly. Plus he has a developing post game that forces double teams. His addition was definitely the key to the Clips improvement last year.
That said, and it looks like Brand might be available -- if he helps the clips get the PG they covet. Why not offer Baron for Brand? Do a sign and trade where they both get the max. Maybe have them send us some point guard help in exchange for Elden Campbell or PJ?
I love Baron's game. And he's perfect for the Hornets. He provides full court defense, playmaking, scoring, and outside shooting. I think he's way better than Andre Miller- who is a great pure point, but not nearly the scorer or physical presence all over the cout. He's not a superstar like Baron and he's not worth 25% of a team's salary -- not a team that wants to win it all and avoid the luxury tax.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope Baron sees the offer and decides to forget his dislike of the owners/organization, and go for the sure cash. But this rumor of the draft night deal makes me think the Hornets brass knows they can't resign Baron and something is in the works.
If we're forced to part wit Baron, you should try to get another young superstar in the making -- and that is Brand. I know he doesn't fill the PG void, but he is the type of guy who can change the course for your franchise long term. Like Karl Malone did for Utah. Miller is a short sighted quik fix.
Put Brand out there with Magliore, Mash, Alexander, and a solid PG like Jeff Mginnis (clips free agent) or Kenyon dooling (clips), and you probably still get to the second round in the East. Plus you have a guy who can be the centerpiece for a long time. Of course I'd rather have Baron as my centerpiece.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals Self-Help Center answers some of the frequently asked questions about appeals and petitions to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
Appeals are usually very different from proceedings before a trial court, an administrative agency, or a child support magistrate:
Most appeals do not focus on whether the trial judge or decision-maker correctly determined the facts of the case. Instead, most appeals focus on the legal issues and whether the judge or decision-maker correctly applied the law after deciding any factual disputes. You must do research, to see whether the trial court made legal errors that the Court of Appeals can correct. Just because you are unhappy with the decision, or a decision contains some minor mistakes, that does not mean that it is legally wrong.
If you lose on appeal in a civil case, you may be ordered to pay the opposing party's costs and disbursements (such as brief printing and copying charges). If the court finds that your appeal is frivolous, or was taken for improper purposes, such as harassment of another party, you could be ordered to pay double costs and/or attorney fees. It is important to consider these potential costs when deciding whether or not to file an appeal.
This Self-Help Center is a general guide to appellate procedures, but there are many different types of cases and many exceptions to the rules explained here. You are responsible for researching court rules, caselaw, and statutes that govern your case and for evaluating whether there is any reason to appeal in your case.
Court staff must be neutral and cannot give you legal advice about your case. This means that they cannot help you fill out papers, discuss the merits of your case, or tell you if you will win or lose. The information you get from this site or from your discussions with court staff cannot replace legal advice from an attorney. You are strongly encouraged to discuss your appeal or petition with an attorney. There are organizations that can help you find an attorney, including the Minnesota State Bar Association (click on "find a lawyer"). You can also check out the Minnesota Judicial Branch Self-Help Center, which focuses on district court (trial) matters.

Le Westin Montreal
Local Area
Le Westin Montréal's ideal location gives you easy access to some of the top cultural attractions in the city, many of which can be reached on foot.
We're located across the street from the Convention Centre and the entrance to Old Montréal, just two blocks from the breathtaking Basilica Notre Dame. Our direct connection to the underground city provides countless subterranean attractions—anything from boutiques to restaurants and museums.
The business district is just a short walk from the hotel, and the VIA train station can be reached within 10 minutes on foot. A five-minute walk will lead you to some of the most vibrant streets in Montréal—St. Paul, Notre Dame, De La Commune—where you will find charming art galleries, souvenir shops, and restaurants.
Those interested in shopping will find numerous stores and boutiques within a few blocks of the hotel. Two upscale department stores, Holt Renfrew and Ogilvy, are a 20-minute walk away. Art aficionados can reach the Fine Arts Museum in 20 minutes on foot. If you prefer to relax while taking in the sights, City Tours Gray Line can pick you up in front of the hotel for a tour of more than a hundred points of interest around the city.
The Olympic Park area, located in the eastern part of the city, features four incredible attractions. The Biodome boasts more than 230 live animal species and 750 plant species in four ecosystems under one roof. The Botanical garden offers flora enthusiasts 10 exhibition greenhouses and 30 outdoor gardens. The prestigious Insectarium has thousands of varieties of insects from virtually every corner of the earth. And the Olympic Tower, a striking architectural marvel, regularly hosts trade fairs, sporting matches, concerts, exhibitions and more. All four attractions are accessible by the metro (25 minutes) or by car (15 minutes).

Once again Sam Harris addresses the question of free will in his recent video.
1. Argument: "everything we are aware of is the result of causes, which we are not aware of." Again, this is the determinism argument. It is basically his belief. This has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread and it has been thoroughly refuted from a scientific point of view. Complete determinism contradicts the modern scientific point of view.
2. Argument: Think of a person and tell me why you thought of him/her. I thought of my mother and a friend Why? Because they are very dear to me and occupy a very prominent place in my memory and psyche. So I can account for why I thought of these people. Then he appears to argue that we are in no position to say why we make choices. I don't think that's true, we call the reasons for our choices our motives and deliberate about them.
3. Argument: "We know from neurophysiology that that was manufactured by the brain at the end of a series of causes of which you are not conscious of which you are witness"; This is just argument 1 but this time he claims to know what he believes.
4. Argument: Sam claims that neuroscientists know, which hand we were going to move before we actually move them. So what? That doesn't disprove free will. The scientist would have to know the hand before we make the conscious decision to move the hand in order to disprove free will. There's a time lag between making a choice and executing it. Again, he appears to be referring to the Libet experiment, which does not prove this notion. "We know that we are downstream of causes of which we are not conscious". He doesn't know this, this is Sam's firm belief. This is just argument 1
5. "How ever you look at this you have to admit that the contents of consciousness are born of an unconscious mental life, which is almost certainly at bottom a matter of neurophysiology".Why do I have to admit this? His thought experiment? No, his experiment doesn't even address a choice in the sense of an action of a person. It merely deals with the mental state in a certain situation. So what? Does that prove that all mental states are exclusively due to an external cause? No, definitely not. Sure, lot's of mental states are due to external causes, such as physical pain. No one has ever denied that.
Then he goes on:
"If in fact we can't choose what we choose but simply choose then how can choice be important?"
The question is absurd Sam. Look at the question form a logical point of view. Apply your faculty of reasoning to the question. Then - I claim - how ever you look at the question you have to admit that the question is either absurd or trivial.
The logical inconsistency: "...we can't choose what we choose but simply choose…"
The first part of the sentence presupposes that we do not make choices (we can't choose), whereas the second part presupposes that we do make choices (what we choose but simply choose). The rules of logic tell us that a proposition cannot be true and false at the same time. Therefore, we have to find out what you really mean. I suppose that you mean that we do not make choices, because we cannot choose. So let me rephrase your question:
"If in fact we do not make choices then how can choice be important?"
The answer is simple. Choice is not important because it doesn't exist. That's the only reasonable answer. Sure we can talk about illusions all day long but it has no meaning in real life. I must say that Sam really rambles on about mental effort and weighing pros and cons. So what?
Sam, if you really believe that choice is a mere illusion then you are no longer in a position to discuss issues of morality. You must leave the table because your point of view renders the whole discussion as inconsequential and meaningless. Nevertheless you feel compelled to write books about morality. This just shows to me that you do not really believe in what you profess to know, namely that we have no free will. You are like the religious person who professes to believe in the effect of prayers, but when push comes to shove he/she doesn't rely on prayers.

Create a Sonar file for your solution
Here is the simplest "sonar-project.properties" file that you can write to be able to run a Sonar analysis for your project:
"sonar-project.properties" file for the Simple Java Runner
The "sonar.projectKey" parameter will create a unique identifier in Sonar for your C# solution.
C# plugins options
Every C# plugin defines its own options that can be overriden, may it be through the Sonar configuration file that you've just created or through Sonar "System Settings" web page. You will find below the pages that describe each C# plugin options:
- C# Core
- C# Squid
- C# FxCop
- C# StyleCop
- C# Gendarme
- C# Gallio
- C# DependencyParser (new with version 1.3)
Paths and file patterns (since v1.1)
Each time you need to define the location of a file or a set of files, use '/' instead of '\' (even if that looks weird on a windows box)
If you need to specify a path, this path may be absolute or relative. Relative paths may start from the location of the sln file or the csproj files, depending of the property specified. Relative paths may use "../" to climb in the folder hierarchy.
When several files need to be specified, for example for properties such as "sonar.dotnet.assemblies", "Ant style" wildcard patterns can be used. "*" means any file or any directory. "**" means any directory and subdirectory :
Above pattern will select any dll files prefixed by "Foo" anywhere in a project.
You can combine an absolute path prefix with wildcards :
This will select any dll files in any subfolder of the "lib" folder of the drive "T:".
If you need to reference assembly files outside your solution folder, you can use absolute paths or "../". For example :
Above pattern can be used to specify all the dll files of a lib folder located at the same level as the root folder of your visual studio solution.

Why won't the Smart TV YouTube app let me use the keyboard?
by Superveloce - 4/9/12 6:39 AM
Hello, I had a couple questions including the one above regarding the Samsung Smart TV that my family recently purchased. We bought a Series 7000 55 inch LED HDTV (Model #: UN55D7000LF). We are very pleased with it, the screen is just amazing and we love the design.
However, we still had a few issues with it. The YouTube app was poorly designed and hardly ever works. Initially, when we first got the TV, we could still use it, but with a recent update, it always gets stuck at the loading screen. When it is able to load, there are two big problems.
First of all, why can't we use the qwerty keyboard on the remote to search for videos? Selecting individual letters is painfully slow and is very frustrating. The Pandora app allows searching via the keyboard; why can't the YouTube app? Is there an update planned to fix this?
The other issue with the YouTube app is that my account information is not maintained. In other words, every time I open the app and want to access my playlists and favorites, I need to log in again by typing the code at a computer. Once again, Pandora does a great job of preserving my account; why can't YouTube?
Lastly, the built-in Internet browser also requires an update. It is very slow and frustrating to use, which is the opposite of what we expected. Streaming videos is very slow and often times doesn't even work. Does anyone know if Samsung is planning to update their old TV's? I'm starting to wish I had purchased the new models with their touchscreen remotes and gesture capabilities.
Those were the main complaints I had; if anyone from Samsung can tell me whether I can expect an update or fix, I would be very thankful. Has anyone else had these problems?
Aside from those issues, we are very satisfied with the TV. Watching movies is amazing on the 55'' screen! We can't believe how slim the TV is and how small the bezel is. Thank you to anyone who read through all this!

I have been consistently impressed with your site manager. She has gone out of her way to be professional and helpful, and appears to take a genuine interest in keeping the place in its best condition.Allyn from Fair Lawn, NJ
I've been a customer of Bob's storage for about 4 years now...I wanted to take a minute to compliment the changes made to this facility recently...especially the customer service! I have had a lot of very negative experiences at this facility in the past and was reluctant to return but needed a bigger unit then I currently had...the customer service & friendly atmosphere now is such a pleasant surprise. I've mainly dealt with Raymond in the past few weeks and cannot say enough about how professional, informative & friendly he is...what a big difference! The office was clean, smelled nice & although it is usually busy when I go in, Raymond deals with everyone in the same manner, he's fast, but you do not feel rushed, he's consistent, attentive & friendly...very professional! I really hope you acknowledge him, he is the change this place needed!Gloria from S. Plainfield, NJ
I know that my storage items are safe and the staff is real nice and ready to help if it needed. They are great!Euripides from Lodi, NJ
I am very satisfied with Uncle Bob's. From the first day it was easy to do this and the office couldn't be more helpful when I needed to ask questions, etc. I definitely would recommend Uncle Bob's to anyone who needs storage. Happy that I made the best selection. Your staff is friendly, considerate and again, so very helpful!!!Francine from Hawthorne, NJ
The manager at the Wayne, NJ location has gone above and beyond to help me. I can't say enough good things about Tatiana.Karin from Hawthorne, NJ
I keep my boat at the Hillsborough NJ facility. The facility is kept in impeccable condition. It's always clean and neat. The staff is great!!!!George from Hillsborough, NJ
First time I am renting a storage space. Before going with Uncle Bob's I conducted some research and it appeared that Uncle Bob's offered the best value. Despite the good reviews I did not expect it to be this good. Accessibility is very good and getting to our storage space on the 3rd floor from the truck is quick. Overall, the entire facility is very well organized. Moving our stuff into out storage space went smoothly. At this point Uncle Bob's is my go-to place for storage purposes and I would also recommend it to anyone who asks me about storage.Hamed from Jersey Cty, NJ
I think that it is a very safe location. Very accessible off rt 17. The hours of operation are very convenient. I like this storage very much. Thanks. Keep up The good work.Raymond from Bergenfield, NJ
I have been using the same place for 8 years when it changed hands and before that I never had any problems.Denise from Bloomfield, NJ
When I did not lock my unit properly. I was called and advised of that. I was so grateful that someone took the time to call me so I didn't lose anything.Margaret from Hackensack, NJ

Camp Lejeune and New River officials announced Monday that nearly all furloughed civilian employees have returned to work on base.
The furloughs began Oct. 1 as a result of the government shutdown that occurred due to the federal government not approving a fiscal budget. Official numbers of furloughed employees at local bases have not been released but more than 800,000 workers have been affected nationwide.
Currently, according to the Department of the Navy Civilian Human Resources website, employees will be paid for their work as of Monday. A determination has not been made as to whether employees will be paid retroactively for the time they were furloughed.
Other local bases such as Marine Corps Air Station New River have recalled nearly all of their employees with less than 1 percent still on furlough, according to 1st Lt. Sarah Burns, the air station public affairs officer.
"I don't live on base but it is a drive for me to come here," said Leslie Rosales, 36, of Jacksonville, who spends on average $100 per week at the commissary. "I come for the savings. It was a bit of an inconvenience for this to be closed down but I know there are other people out there who are worse off without pay and no commissary benefits."
The commissary is a benefit for the troops, Rosales said adding that "politicians shouldn't be paid if the government is going to be shut down."
I hope they can come to an agreement or a compromise so that society won't be affected like this any longer," she said.
Store Director of the Camp Lejeune commissary Michael Dunn said he is happy to have his more than 130 employees back at work, although he is unsure how long this will last, he said.
"I think our patrons are really happy that we're back in here," Dunn said. "Everybody who was on board is here. We were called back 100 percent. It was a pleasant surprise for us to be told we could open our doors."
The scene just before the commissary closed was like a hurricane, Dunn said, due to how much people were buying. Monday, however, people were shopping for staple items that they either forgot to buy or didn't get to buy last week, he said.
"We are a benefit for the military, their dependents and retirees," Dunn said. "Across the store you'll see discounts of approximately 32 percent for a family. It's one of their benefits that they look forward to much like their medical care."
The commissary is not the only area of the base welcoming their employees back to work, according to Marine Capt. Joshua Smith, the deputy public affairs officer for Marine Corps Installations East.
"(The base) is in the process of conducting an orderly recall of the vast majority of our affected furloughed civilian employees," Smith said. "Based on Department of Defense guidance any personnel related to the morale, well-being or the readiness of service members or their families are able to be recalled. At a training base like Camp Lejeune that is nearly everyone."
Approximately 99 percent of personnel have been recalled to include workers at the commissary as well as all Marine Corps Community Services employees, according to Smith, who was unsure what employees made up the one percent who were not recalled. Updates, according to Smith will be provided to media and posted on the base's website and social media accounts.
"We'll bring back as many people as we can but it's still to be determined," Smith said "We're going to continue to keep the public informed ... as our government makes decisions."
The furloughs, according to Smith, have affected all operations on base and the recalling of employees will help the base get back to normal. The recalls, which according to Smith were made by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel as well as the Department of Defense.
"Obviously our civilians have a very important role … they are in direct support of Marines day in and day out," Smith said. "We're certainly glad to have them back."

Women's Lacrosse Wins Third Player of the Week Award as Melesh Gets Honored in Week #7
April 3, 2012
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Women's Lacrosse Player of the Week during week number seven of the 2012 season. In their only game of the week, the Lady Falcons scored a 13-10 win over nationally-ranked #12 Florida Southern thanks to Melesh and her five goals and one assist.
Down 2-0 early, Melesh tallied back-to-back goals to tie the contest at 2-2 before later getting the Lady Falcons to within one early in the second half and tying it at the midway point of the period with her fourth goal of the day. The senior midfielder would later add insurance giving the Lady Falcons breathing room over the final 10 minutes on Saturday.
Melesh leads the Lady Falcons with 35 goals on the season, 10 of those in league play, as the Black and Gold get back to action on Thursday hosting nationally-ranked Limestone for a first place Conference Carolinas showdown.

Defense systems that depend on the commercial electric grid are vulnerable to electromagnetic pulse attacks and solar storms that could seriously damage the nation's infrastructure, experts from the Homeland Security and Defense departments told a House Homeland Security subcommittee.
The likelihood and the effects of such an event have been the subject of debate, and legislation that would require defenses against them is stalled in the House.
Major military weapons systems and nuclear assets are hardened against EMP events, but "DOD is heavily dependent on the commercial electric grid," Michael Aimone, director of DOD Business Enterprise Integration, told the subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection and Security Technologies.
Related coverage:
DHS outlines goals for nation's critical infrastructure
Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), who testified as a witness at the Sept. 12 hearing, said Russia and several other countries are developing an offensive EMP capability, but there is little protection against such attacks on the commercial grid. He called for installing hardware protection for the most critical elements.
"The major vulnerability we have right now is damage to our major transformers," which could put parts of the national grid out of operation for years, Franks said. Operational procedures cannot provide timely response, he added, but equipment called neutral phase blockers could provide cost-effective and automatic protection from surges that could cause damage.
Current regulations do not require this protection, however, and industry has been slow to adopt it, although Chris Beck, president of the Electric Infrastructure Security Council, said there are no significant technical or financial barriers to deploying it.
Electromagnetic pulse is an electrical disruption that can be caused by high-altitude nuclear explosions or naturally by solar activities such as flares. Studies by the congressionally established EMP Commission and by Oak Ridge National Laboratory have concluded that in a worst-case scenario a serious event could leave large portions of the nation's power grid out of service for four to 10 years by causing physical damage to transformers and other equipment. Communications systems and individual electrical devices also could be at risk.
The likelihood of such an event has been questioned, however. The North American Electric Reliability Corp., which is charged with creating mandatory reliability standards for the U.S. bulk power distribution industry, believes it is more likely that there would be little physical damage and resulting problems would last only days.
Beck blamed the lack of preparedness on industry inertia and lack of awareness.
Current processes for creating industry standards are inadequate to address such threats to national security, said Joseph McClelland, director of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office of Electric Reliability. NERC writes the standards, and FERC can only approve or reject them.
"The procedures used by NERC are appropriate for developing and approving routine reliability standards," McClelland said. "However, it can be an impediment when measures or actions need to be taken to address threats to national security quickly and in a manner that protects against the disclosure of security-sensitive information."
The SHIELD Act (H.R. 668), introduced last year by Franks, would enable FERC to establish reliability standards for the bulk power system to protect against EMP attacks. No action has been taken on the bill.
DOD currently relies on on-site and mobile back-up generators to protect against disruptions from outages in the commercial grid, and also is developing next-generation microgrids to enable local generation and storage of power on bases.
This could not only protect against outages but enable better local energy supplies and the balancing of supply and demand. DOD's Aimone said microgrid demonstration projects currently are under way at 29 Palms Marine Corps base in California and at Fort Bliss, Texas.

The most effective NEMP weapons are smaller than big nukes. They can be launched from freighters - like container ships using mid range missiles. It only takes one about 250 miles up to take out most of the computers that control everything. Anything connected to wires is susceptible to EMP. SCADAs, transformers, chips, etc. Then you sink the ship so that theres no evidence. The explosion would be too high up to leave trace elements. If this was done by a clandestine operation - exactly who do we go after? We'd have some ideas but without any real proof our friends Russia and China wouldn't support us taking anyone out with whatever we have left working. Granted we'd have plenty available but the damage would be done and it would be years before we bounced back. If we ever did.
Casualties would be horrific due to disease, starvation, dehydration, crime, and suicide. We do not have the systems in place to live like they did in the 17-1800s and we have 100 times the population if not more. We definitely need to invest the money in our infrastructure to protect our electricity which is the lifeblood this country runs on.
Fortunately, not too many countries can air burst a nuke over the US. And we'd see it and retaliate with the mutually assured destruction policy of the cold war. Sure, we should prepare, but I'm really not too concerned. There much easier ways to attack us.
As stated, this has been a known vulnerability for a very long time. Although EMPs and coronal ejections get the attention, there are less massive ways to accomplish this on a small scale. The technology has existed, and been used, since at least the 80's. I'm not sure how easy it would be for a terrorist use but given how much technology has grown, it wouldn't surprise me if things have been scaled down to a more portable level.
This threat has been known since early in the Cold War days. EMP blasts are the real threat from nuclear bombs.
After reading "One Second After" by Dr William Forstchen, the well thought out worst case scenario. My life changed and I began to study this online. There is a ton of information out there about it. As a Ham Operator I was on the air during the solar storm in 1989 that took out Hydro Quebec's 6 million customers for 9 hours. This isnt SCI-FI its quite real. We are not prepared for it and the bad guys know it. There is also a National Geographic Documentary called "Electronic Armageddon" which encapsulates the problem in 45 minutes. For those who wish to read on visit http://www.thenoahprojects.com or empactamerica.com The more people who know about this threat the more we can get done to fix it.

NY Times: The New Caveman Life
An engaging overview of the emerging paleo movement. The idea is that humans should live and eat as they did when they were hunter-gatherers, since that is what we evolved to do, and modern food (cooking, dairy etc) and society have only come about relatively recently.
I agree completely with the spirit of living in a way that is more connected with nature; after all we wake up in our air conditioned houses, get into our air conditioned cars, and into our air conditioned offices sitting in a cube in front of a monitor all day…We don't even know what the climate is like and if we need to check the weather we rarely push aside the blinds and take a peek out the window, or venture outdoors, we'll log into a website! According to many sages modern man is disconnected, from each other, ourselves, nature, food that sustains us and ultimately reality.
Their alternative view on working out also makes a lot of sense, most traditional forms of exercise engaged the full body, and of course you didn't really need to exercise when you were hunting and gathering. I recall seeing mountain villagers from the Kashmiri highlands, and they were amazing physical specimens that lived long healthy lives (that is for another post…).
From a diet perspective we obviously agree in eating well, and eating meat that has been raised naturally to ensure its wholesomeness. We do have some quibbles (like raw meat, no grain, no dairy), but nonetheless its quite an interesting movement that is highlighting some of the challenges we face.
We'd all agree that reconnecting modern man with reality is important, and by returning to traditional methods of living that have sustained humans for centuries we could benefit greatly.
