Product Information:
Trying to learn the art of wood burning? There are more complex ways to do it: with fancy controls, and a hundred different burning tips. However, in this book, Dick Armstrong reminds us that the art of woodburning is as much about the technique as it is the tools.
Using a single-tip, simple woodburner, he goes back to the basics, starting with the skills that every woodburner should know and then applying them in three projects. The projects are designed to move from the easiest, a lighthouse, to one of medium difficulty, a dilapidated barn, to one that requires some skill, a clipper ship.
Every step is illustrated with a clear photo and description. In addition, a gallery of Dick's work gives the reader many ideas for application of these skills. This is the book for beginning woodburners, but the techniques and experience Dick shares will be valued by pyrographers of every level.

Savings seen on diabetes supplies, other equipment
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 3:59pm EST
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Medicare is announcing a price cut.
Diabetes testing supplies now average about $16 a month for beneficiaries. That's going down to around $4.50.
Savings are also coming for many patients who rent home oxygen gear, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment.
Medicare deputy administrator Jonathan Blum said Wednesday it's due to competitive bidding making inroads against wasteful spending.
Starting July 1, diabetes patients will get blood sugar testing supplies through a new national mail order program.
Competitive bidding for home medical equipment, now being piloted in nine cities, will expand to 100 metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Some seniors may have to switch suppliers, but taxpayers will save nearly $26 billion over 10 years.
Outside experts say Medicare should make even greater use of competitive bidding.

Lee Naus was just 21 when he died 15 years ago.
But why he died remains a mystery.
The Lindsey man's body was discovered inside a garbage truck during the early morning of Oct. 1, 1999.
He was last seen alive sleeping outside Bud's Tavern on West State Street, according to a Fremont police report, where a garbage truck driver was getting ready to empty a Dumpster.
An autopsy performed by Lucas County deputy coroner Cynthia Beisser determined Naus accidentally died as a result of being crushed to death in the truck's compactor.
But police never determined how Naus ended up in the Dumpster.
"No one at the city is going to answer your questions regarding this matter," Fremont Mayor Jim Ellis told the Register. "It is an old case, and so the prudent thing is to promptly provide you with the documentary record and have you refer to it."
Get Sunday's Register to find out what, if anything, Fremont police determined about the death of Lee Naus.

Product description
A fascinating slice of social history - Jennifer Worth's tales of being a midwife in 1950s London, now a major BBC TV series. Jennifer Worth came from a sheltered background when she became a midwife in the Docklands in the 1950s. The conditions in which many women gave birth just half a century ago were horrifying, not only because of their grimly impoverished surroundings, but also because of what they were expected to endure. But while Jennifer witnessed brutality and tragedy, she also met with amazing kindness and understanding, tempered by a great deal of Cockney humour. She also earned the confidences of some whose lives were truly stranger, more poignant and more terrifying than could ever be recounted in fiction. Attached to an order of nuns who had been working in the slums since the 1870s, Jennifer tells the story not only of the women she treated, but also of the community of nuns (including one who was accused of stealing jewels from Hatton Garden) and the camaraderie of the midwives with whom she trained. Funny, disturbing and incredibly moving, Jennifer's stories bring to life the colourful world of the East End in the 1950s.

Customer reviews
By Sally 18 Oct 2010
This book was a fascinating insight into the life of a midwife in the poorest part of London during the 1950's and 1960's. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the social aspects of this period of time or who is interested in midwifery.
Review quote
Worth's books are full of fascinating social history: about living conditions in east London, the scale of poverty and violence, the realities of postwar medicine and the workhouse NEW STATESMAN

Which is fine if you're at home and the ref won't call stalling. But in the postseason on neutral mats, he'll get called. Yes, he'd probably have been dinged 3 or 4 times at Carver, but that's the home mat advantage, it just happened to be at PSU's house. On a neutral mat, he gets hit at least once, maybe twice.

In California contracts sometimes a party is obligated to use "best efforts" to accomplish a goal of the contract. For example, a contract to buy real estate may be subject to a condition to obtain financing. In such a case, the implied covenant of good faith requires the buyer to exert their best efforts to satisfy the condition. Or, the actual requirement may be in the contract, such as for a holder of water rights to use "best efforts" to maintain the level of water in a reservoir. California courts have never defined best efforts, but look to the specific facts of each case to determine if best efforts were actually made. A party with such an issue is well advised to consult with a real estate and business attorney to determine how far their efforts must extend. A property owner's associations in Modoc County recently was disappointed that a best efforts provision did not make the other party a fiduciary.

But this isn't the only occasion that karma has bit McConnell on the ass. You'll recall the offensive Tweet from a member of Progress Kentucky making a joke about McConnell's wife, former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's ethnicity? Well McConnell invoked race and ethnicity to help get his buddy Jim Bunning (R. KY) elected to the Senate:The flap over a secretly recorded discussion of how to attack potential opponents of Sen. Mitch McConnell isn't the first such taping controversy.
But in 2008, it was McConnell's campaign which surreptitiously taped his Democratic opponent, entrepreneur Bruce Lunsford.
At a forum in western Kentucky, Lunsford and McConnell stood behind podiums. As the debate concluded, Lunsford removed a legal pad and notes he was using to disclose a tape recorder. Assuming the recorder belonged to his own campaign staff, Lunsford placed it in his pocket and subsequently handed it to his press secretary.
"I handed it to Cary (Stemle) and that's when he told me it wasn't ours," Lunsford said Thursday, recalling the event in 2008.Richard St. Onge, a staffer for the McConnell campaign at the time, demanded the recording device be returned. At first the Lunsford campaign refused, but then relented.
But then the McConnell campaign claimed the tape had been erased and St. Onge went so far as to swear out a criminal complaint which was later dropped.
Five years later, Lunsford finds it ironic that McConnell has criticized someone for "Nixonian" tactics and McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton, described the taping originally reported by Mother Jones Magazine as "Gestapo" like. - Daily Independent, 4/11/13
Plus I pointed out earlier that the Progress Kentucky members taping McConnell and his staff's conversation about how to attack Ashley Judd isn't considered a felony:McConnell, being the puppet master he is, was up to his elbows in that race, loaning his crack campaign staff to Bunning and orchestrating the state Republican Party's message.
A few weeks before the election, the Republican Party of Kentucky, using money from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which McConnell directed at the time, ran an ad that played on the same xenophobic fears.
It cited Baesler's vote for the North American Free Trade Agreement, claimed he sent thousands of jobs to Mexico and had a Mexican actor saying, "Muchas gracias, Senor Baesler."
The ad then says, "But he also voted to give China special trade privileges, even though they're shuttin' out Kentucky-made products."
And then, with Chinese music playing in the background, an actor said, "Thank you, Scotty Baesler," in Cantonese, a Chinese language.
McConnell's campaign spokesman said at the time that McConnell, who was Bunning's chief strategist in that race, personally signed off on the ad. - Louisville Courier-Journal, 3/17/13
But ironically, the recording revealed that McConnell committed an ethics violation:Kentucky law says it is a felony "to overhear, record amplify or transmit any part of a wire or oral communication of others without the consent of at least one party thereto by means of any electric, mechanical or other device."
But if the conversation was audible from a hallway, it's disputable whether recording qualifies as eavesdropping. - WFPL News 89.3, 4/11/13
McConnell's campaign manager, Jesse Benton, tried to claim that there's no legitimate reason to compare what Progress Kentucky did to McConnell to what McConnell's campaign team did to Lunsford:The bigger problem for McConnell is that CREW has filed an FBI complaint against him for misusing official staff for campaign purposes. "Using taxpayer-funded resources to pay staffers to dig up dirt on political opponents isn't just an ethics violation, it's a federal crime. Sen. McConnell requested, the FBI is investigating the recording. A thorough and fair investigation necessitates the bureau also inquire into whether Sen. McConnell himself violated the law," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan.
The leaked tape opened up a can of worms for McConnell. The Republican still hasn't answered questions concerning his remarks about Ashley Judd's mental health, and now he has to deal with an ethics complaint.
Mitch McConnell is not the victim here, and he has definitely not been vindicated. What Progress Kentucky did, much to the dismay of Democrats, was feed the vulnerable incumbent's desperate attempt to ride right wing paranoia to reelection. - Politics USA, 4/11/13
Lunsford said that McConnell's attacks on Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergran Grimes (D) would backfire on him. McConnell's early attack ads did give Judd's approval numbers a hit but they didn't help McConnell's image at all:"McConnell's 2008 campaign team getting their own audio from a public debate, conducted in front of the media, broadcast on television and in front of a live audience of hundreds, is completely different than a shadowy left-wing activist sneaking into a private office, hiding in a hallway and secretly taping a private conversation under a door," Benton said. "It's not in the same ballpark. Heck, it's not even in the same zip code."
Lunsford scoffed, noting the recorder was hidden under other papers on the podium and was clearly against the rules established for the forum.
"When they did it to me in 2008, they did it at an event where the rules were clear and they knew the rules," Lunsford said.
Lunsford also thinks McConnell's skillful public relations reaction to the taping has obscured the real issue which ought to be foremost in the public mind.
"The information they were gathering on (Ashley) Judd and Alison (Grimes) is the real issue here," Lunsford said. "I think they just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. If they're not careful, they're going to get themselves in trouble." - Daily independent, 4/11/13
So yeah, karma has been a bitch for McConnell and hopefully karma will be a huge bitch to him next year. By the way, this story keeps getting more ridiculous:36% of voters approve of the job McConnell is doing to 54% who disapprove. That -18 net approval is the same as we found in December when he was at 37/55. McConnell gets tepid approval from Republicans (53/34) while meeting with disapproval from most Democrats (23/69) and independents (32/54).
It's just as well for Democrats that Ashley Judd decided not to challenge McConnell. Her popularity declined quite a bit over the last 4 months. In December a plurality of voters had a positive opinion of her at 42/36, but now her favorability numbers are under water at 34/41. The attacks on her clearly took a toll on her image.
The good news for Democrats is that they still have several candidates who poll within striking range of McConnell. Alison Lundergan Grimes, despite having only 50% name recognition, comes within 4 points of McConnell at 45/41. She's gained a little bit of ground on him since our December poll that found him with a 47/40 advantage. And former Congressman Ben Chandler trails McConnell just 46/41. Ed Marksberry, the only announced Democratic candidate in the race at this point, trails the incumbent 46/35. - PPP, 4/9/12
On April 11, WFPL reported Jacob Conway -- a member of the Jefferson County Democratic Executive Committee -- said Shawn Reilly and Curtis Morrison of the group Progress Kentucky bragged to him about recording the McConnell meeting. Now, Conway is saying he may never have spoken to Reilly.
"I had a lot of conversations with both of them during that time period, and maybe I was just confused, and maybe Shawn never said anything," Conway told The Courier-Journal.
"I did reach out to Mr. Reilly's attorney and said that maybe my memory was not correct and I'd be willing to say that at a joint news conference," Conway said. - Huffington Post 4/13/13

Some Public Recongition Of The ProblemI read this story in our local newspaper yesterday.
I also showed it to my partner, the refuser in our relationship. She had no real reaction. She continues to believe that her refusal over the years was justified by how I was treating her. My behavior apparently wasn't bad enough to try counseling or try harder to get her view across but it was be bad enough for her to withhold sex. Getting irritated with her about refusing, well, that is one of the ways I treated her poorly.
The ulitmate Catch-22.

Well you can always Treat her to a full set of divorce papers I suppose. But she would probably see that as abuse too. But what have you got to lose is she going to cut you off? Oh she already did that well if you cut off the financial goodies then that would only be fair I guess. Give her life back to her and let her be free (and incidentally you get to be free too). Let her move on to her next victim since she's saving herself for him anyway.

Donaire 'will face a monster' in April
THE TRASH-TALKING has started even with the fight venue yet to be decided.
Caribe Promotions CEO Boris Arencibia, who handles Guillermo Rigondeaux, fired the opening salvo against WBO super bantam champion Nonito Donaire Jr., saying his ward is a "monster" in the ring who will provide an exciting fight that will end with the Filipino 2012 Fighter of the Year on the canvas.
"Rigondeaux will show all of his potentials in this fight, and he will be ready to knock Nonito Donaire out," said Arencibia, in a report in boxingscene.com.
"I can only confirm one thing, that Rigondeaux is a monster and Nonito has never faced any fighter with the skills of the 'Jackal.'
Rigondeaux (11-0-0 with eight KOs), the WBA super bantamweight champion dubbed as the Jackal, shone as an amateur fighter with two Olympic golds for Cuba. But he has yet to face an A-lister like Donaire (31-1-0, 20 KOs) in his largely uneventful professional career.
Donaire has remained silent and is not expected to make a formal announcement regarding the fight soon because his handler, Top Rank, and Caribe have yet to meet this week to finalize the venue of the April 13 super bantamweight unification bout.
Among those on the venue short list is the 5,000-seater Radio City Music Hall in New York City, which last staged a boxing fight in 2000 featuring Roy Jones Jr. Another option is the Theater of Madison Square Garden, also in the Big Apple, which has about the same capacity as Radio City.
Home Depot Center in Carson, California, where Donaire fought twice last year and beat Jeffrey Mathebula (July 7) and Toshiaki Nishioka (Oct. 13), is also being eyed.
Donaire fought Nishioka before 7,665 fans at the 8,000-seater venue. He is making his fifth and probably last fight at 122 pounds before moving up to the 126 lb featherweight division.

"I don't think any of us know, frankly," Chishti said. "Imagine the enormity of the population this time. It's so different. It's 11.2 million potential new voters, eventually."
According to the Immigration Policy Center report, nearly 87 percent of IRCA recipients lived in only four states: California, Texas, Illinois and New York. Those states still have sizeable immigrant populations that could gain legal status if immigration reform passes, but now so do places like Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.
Some critics argue the growth of the undocumented population is a direct result of IRCA. The Migration Policy Institute noted in a report, for instance, that some analysts believe it spurred further illegal immigration.
"The five-year gap between the qualifying date and the date of the law's enactment left many settled immigrants in the country without status, and critics charged that the law increased the incentive for people to migrate in hopes of future amnesties."
Critics of immigration reform today have a valid concern in wondering whether a new plan will truly curb illegal immigration. That's why some Republican members of the Senate "Gang of Eight," which has introduced a comprehensive immigration proposal, have said they will not consider any plan that does not prioritize efforts to secure the border.
There are also other criticisms of IRCA that make lawmakers today wary of a sweeping reform bill. MPI pointed out allegations of fraud in the seasonal agricultural workers program that helped more than one million IRCA recipients gain legal status. Lawmakers also worry that immigrants could take public assistance funding away from citizens, a concern that also existed in the 1980s. Many states now have rules in place that bar newly legalized permanent residents from receiving benefits. IRCA also gave funding to states to help offset some of the cost of providing care for newly authorized residents. The gang's bill would prevent newly legalized immigrants from receiving most federal benefits for years.
While there are bound to be some similarities between any new immigration reform and IRCA, as MPI points out, there will be differences too. The immigrant population is better documented, so the impacts will be better chronicled. The population is larger, but more spread out, so while immigration reform might be more widely felt, the impact might be more muted. Agriculture is no longer the major employer of undocumented workers, so other industries will be affected as well. And MPI argues that international cooperation with Mexico is more realistic today, so their collaboration on the issue is more likely.
Chishti thinks this last point is key. Immigration from Mexico is close to net zero at the moment.
"Something's happening," he said, "and it's not just the recession."
According to Chishti, education has become more accessible in Mexico. Engineering has become popular, and the country is now a huge software exporter. There are more incentives to stay and fewer reasons to risk crossing the border.
But that doesn't change much for the roughly 11 million who already call the United States home. Ortega and Hernandez Luna are looking at President Obama to change the lives of this group.
"I know there are many families out there similar to mine," she said, "waiting for the opportunity given to my family to be able to reach their dreams and give back to their communities."

Battery alarm while moored.
Time to pull out the multimeter and check it. First, the obvious, what's the actual voltage of the batteries. Then measure the voltage at the meter and see what it's seeing. There are only a few possibilities, either the voltage was actually low, the wiring is flaky, the meter is on a point where there is a voltage drop (inadequate wiring/large load), or the meter is bad or programmed wrong. Another thought is electrical noise, are your sense leads too long and going past something "noisy" the fridge motor, a transmitter etc?
Ground is one of two wires, it's no more likely to be the black/yellow one than the red one..

I have a .NET2.0 C# web-app. It has a variable number of large, init-expensive objects which are shared across multiple requests but not sessioned to any given user. I therefore need to persist them in a lookup structure. These objects need to be created as required and are not required for the lifespan of the app, merely the lifespan of their usage.
Plus a bit.
The memory leaking way to do this is a simple dictionary, the memory safe way to do this is a weakreference backed dictionary, but the problem I'm having is that the GC is just too damned fast. Realistically this may not be a problem because the traffic to the objects should be such that they'll stay alive without being forced to regenerate too much, but ideally I'd like them to scale down too.
Is there some kind of middle-ground solution I'm not thinking of which will keep the objects safely hidden from the GC for a period of time X, but also allow them to be collected at the end of that time, preferably where that time counter gets reset every time they're used in a way similar to session tokens?

South Park sword manifests in Burning Crusade beta
updated 11:40 am EDT, Fri October 13, 2006
South Park sword in WoW
You knew it was coming. In South Park's World of Warcraft episode, Stan Marsh uses the specially-crafted Sword of a Thousand Truths to slay an otherwise unstoppable griefer. Now that the closed Burning Crusade beta is underway, testers have discovered the sword for sale from a merchant - "Finely crafted to Salzman's specification." Joystiq has confirmed the sword's existence with Blizzard. The weapon is apparently intended as a reward for gladiators in the new Arena PvP mode. Unlike the fictional sword, however, the real one doesn't cause instant mana burn or 120 points of damage per second. Click below to see bigger screenshots.

Six years is a long time to wait.
…Like Clockwork, the follow up to Queens of the Stone Age's last album Era Vulgaris has been a while coming. Oh sure, frontman JoshHomme has kept himself busy, between releasing albums with his other bands Them Crooked Vultures and Eagles of Death Metal and producing the Arctic Monkeys albumHumbug (not to mention becoming a dad). Even still, it's taken six years for a release from the band proper, and the big question is, was it worth the wait?
First off, we should clear something up immediately. This is not Songs for the Deaf II. It seems that there's been a contingent of the fan base that's been clamouring for another album in the same vein and if you fall into that category I've got some bad news, you're going to be disappointed. I find it strange that this is still something that comes up three albums on, but to be perfectly honest I can't say I totally blame those people. Songs for the Deaf was a monster of an album and pretty widely recognized as the bands pinnacle . It was a midnight, headlong rush through the desert where your only companion was your psychosis and an FM radio turned up to 10. If I were actually to make a Top Ten album list, Songs for the Deaf would be on there. With a bullet.
So I understand, you guys. I really do. But again, Like Clockwork (and henceforth I am dropping the ellipsis because I can't NOT mentally pause every time I see it and this is my blog and I'ma do as I please) is not that album, just like Lullabies to Paralyze and Era Vulgaris was not that album. In fact, as different as those two were, Like Clockworkis by far the biggest departure for the band since they formed back in 1996. It is also, without a doubt, their best album since Songs for the Deaf.
Like Clockwork reunites the majority of the band that has been around since the early days of Era Vulgaris and before with the addition of a number of collaborators including long time pals DaveGrohl, Trent Reznor and Mark Lanegan as well as some new faces like Jon Theodore and Elton John. Yeah, that Elton John. It's a somewhat schizophrenic list of talented musicians and it's produced what, at first listen, feels like the most schizophrenic Queens album to date. The last few queens albums had what felt like a pretty clear theme running through each one. I wouldn't go so far as to say they were ranging into concept album territory, but there was a through line you could grab on to. A trip through the desert. Nightmares and insanity. Our obsession with ourselves. Like Clockwork, however, takes some time to sink into as there's so many left turns and detours, not only from track to track, but from what your expectations of what this band is 'supposed' to sound like.
It doesn't hit you right away, the first track Keep Your Eyes Peeledsets a pretty familiar tone. Dark, distorted and brooding, it's familiar territory for the band and sets expectations in a familiar direction. With it's slow, almost ponderous pace, It's an interesting choice for an opening track, it feels like something that would be more at home midway through the album. Maybe it's because of that familiar tone that it was chosen to start things off.
The second track I Sat By The Ocean isn't totally out of the range of previous Queens songs, albeit a complete left turn from the previous one. While Eyes Peeled is dark and plodding, Ocean is up-tempo, catchy, almost something you'd expect to hear on an Eagles of Death Metal album complete with hand claps.
Then The Vampyre of Time and Memory. A piano ballad, as Hommesings, 'I want God to come, And take me home/ Cause I'm all alone, In this crowd'.
Yes that's what I said, a piano ballad, and it's backing Homme singing about vulnerability and loneliness and the unsurety that comes with feeling incomplete.
This is about the time where you start to realize we're dealing with a very different Queens of the Stone Age.
This isn't the first time a piano has shown up in a Queens album, listen to Go With The Flow off of Songs for the Deaf, you can hear one note frantically being hammered as that song barrels down the highway, speed limits be damned. It is, however, the first time it's been used like this. Even more of a departure, however, is the vulnerability in Hommes lyrics, and if there's a theme to Like Clockwork, I feel like this is where you'll find it.
To this point in his career, you would be hard pressed to describeHomme as a 'vulnerable' frontman. No I'm not trying to paint him as some aggressive meathead, a meathead can't croon like that, but more so than maybe any other singer out there, the guy just oozes swagger.
No, not 'swag'. That's not a thing. Swagger.
Whether he's singing about the desert, girls, death, drugs, whatever, there's an undeniable confidence to the lyrics and his vocals that to this point have been as big a hallmark of a Queens of the Stone Age track as the guitar tone. That's not completely absent from Like Clockwork, Smooth Sailing is a groovy, sexy falsetto driven song that almost comes out of nowhere with lines like 'I got bruises and hickies, stitches and scars / Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are'. It's almost as if tracks like this and My God Is The Sun, a distorted, robotic, riff-heavy monster that's catchy as hell and probably the loudest song on the album, are there as a reminder. Like Homme and co. are saying "Yeah, we didn't forget how. Relax."
But then there's piano ballads. The title track, and the final song on the album is another one that's even more achingly sincere thenVampyre. And it's phenomenal. To be clear it's not all just a piano and Josh (although I think that would be pretty great too) the song picks up a little once the rest of the band kicks in but that vulnerability remains. Lyrics like 'Most of what you see my dear, is purely for show / Because, not everything that goes around, comes back around, you know' continue to present a guy that's maybe lost some of that swagger and confidence. Or perhaps it's the exact opposite, it's aHomme who's confident enough in where he is, that he can show that side of himself for the first time. Maybe it's somewhere in the middle.
It's entirely possible that I'm reading too much into this but the fact remains that he's no longer the same guy he was when Songs for the Deaf was recorded. He's got two kids now with wife Brody Dalle (of The Distillers and now Spinnerette) and being a dad's gotta pretty drastically change your outlook on life. Added to that, dealing with depression from being bedridden for 4 months after complications from a routine knee surgery almost killed him, and you can see where these changes might have stemmed from. Regardless of the reasons, the point is, it works. It never feel schmaltzy or insincere or calculated. It feels like a brand new facet of a frontman we've had over ten years to get to know, and while some fans might be put off, hey, whatever man, Peter Pan has to grow up sometime. And become Robin Williams. Who marries Wendy's daughter and uh…wait…hold on…never mind, I've lost control of this metaphor, let's just move on.
I haven't said much regarding the numerous talented musicians joining the band on this album and there's a reason for that. If youaren't already aware of them before going into the album you'd actually be hard pressed to spot where they pop up. As far as collaborations go, the guest stars on this album mainly stay in the background filling in some vocals here, or instrumentation there. Rarely do they ever come to the forefront. The drums on the album are spread mainly between Joey Castillo (who was released from the band midway through recording) and Dave Grohl. Jon Theodore rounds out the trio of drummers as well as taking over for Castillo on tour. It's somewhat of an embarrassment of riches drummer-wise with Castillo and Grohl bringing their own energy as well as Theodore who might technically be the best drummer to ever join the Queens (seriously check out his work with Mars Volta, it's bananas).
The track Kalopsia features Trent Reznor who roars into the chorus briefly before fading into the background. The whole thing plays out like leisurely stroll through a coma patients dreams as they descend into nightmares, complete with a ventilator wheezing in the background. It's another one the tracks that immediately makes you take notice and is easily one of my favourites. Plus Trent Reznor. Did I mention Trent Reznor?
Sir Elton shows up on Fairweather Friends playing the piano and backing up the vocals and again, it's almost a case of blink and you'll miss it. It's not necessarily a bad thing that the majority of the collaborations blend so seamlessly with the rest of the band, this is still a Queens of the Stone Age album and, lets be honest, the Queens are pretty much the Josh Homme show, and I don't mean that as a negative. There's something to be said for a bunch of talented musicians coming together to produce music without this track having to be the Elton track and that having to be Jake Shears track (he's in there too).
The only two instances where I would have liked to see the supporting players brought to the forefront a little more is with two older friends of the band, Mark Lanegan and Nick Oliveri. If you're familiar with the band you know that Oliveri really was the other half of the Queens up until having to leave the band after Songs for the Deaf. This is the first time he's been on an album since then and it would have been cool to highlight that a little more. Even more so is Mark Lanegan, who's been a prominent voice on albums in the past, in particular lending his distinctive, gravelly 'Tom Waits before all the booze and cigarettes' vocals to some of the best songs the Queens have produced such as Hanging Tree and In The Fade (seriously if you haven't heard In The Fade, go listen to it right now, one of the BEST Queens songs). You can hear him growling in the background of a few tracks like If I Had A Tail. It's one of the hookier tracks, with a swinging bluesy groove and a simple but pretty killer bassline that immediately has you tapping you foot. It's one of the best tracks on the album but as great as it is, I would have loved to hear Lanegan's voice featured a little more prominently. That being said I do feel like a bit of a douche complaining about a song as good as this one.
I would be remiss to not mention the rest of the band who's returned. Troy Van Leeuwen (A Perfect Circle, Sweethead) continues to hold down the other half of the guitar work on the album and remains one of the best dressed dudes in rock. Mikey Shoes (Wires on Fire, Mini Mansions) supplies the bass line and Dean Fertita (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) rounds out the group on the keys. There isn't a poor musician in the bunch, they've all proven themselves in previous bands and have been with the Queens on the previous two albums including the tours, aside from Fertita who joined in 2007, replacing the late Natasha Shneider (who sadly lost her battle with cancer in 2008). The band meshes in a way that's evident on the album and even more so live and despite my comment about it being the JoshHomme show, these guys are just as responsible for how great everything sounds. The band seems to almost have a revolving door of talent sometimes but I hope these guys continue to stick around for a while.
…Like Clockwork (there I put it back) is absolutely a departure from what has come before. It's going to upset some fans, some might say the band's gone soft, people will continue to look for that return to the Queens of Songs for the Deaf. The evolution of a band that's been around for this long is a tricky thing. If you continue to release albums that play off of what's come before, you run the risk of being called derivative and tired. If you change things, you run the risk of alienating your fan base. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't and I don't envy bands in that situation (who am I kidding of course I do). Some artists try to change things up and fumble along the way (Muse) or crash and burn spectacularly (really Chris Cornell? Timbaland?). Queens of the Stone Age, however, manage to chart a course that takes them to some strange places but they come out the other side stronger for it. Older, wiser, a little more self aware, but still able to make you shake your butt and melt your face in equal measure. …Like Clockwork might seem a little harder to dive in to than previous efforts at first listen but give Homme and company a bit of time and you'll find an album that earns its spot next to Songs for the Deaf. The future's looking bright for the Queens, let's hope we don't have to wait another six years.

Today's guests:
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.)
Rep. Elijah Cummings — Congressman, D-Md.
The financial management structure of all federal agencies may change because of the GSA scandal. The House Oversight and Government Reform committee has asked every agency for information about past conferences and the level of autonomy for decision-makers. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) spoke to Francis Rose earlier today about what he has learned at his committee's hearings that makes him think it might be time for all agencies to change.
Julie Tagen — Legislative director, National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association
A spate of legislation introduced in Congress is zeroing in on the wallets of federal employees — from Sen. Daniel Akaka's (D-Hawaii) amendment to the Postal Service bill to Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-Calif.) bill to allow phased retirements. Julie Tagen from the National Active and Retired Federal Employees association talks to In Depth about what feds can expect and what her organization is doing to support them.
David Maurer — Director, Homeland Security and Justice, Government Accountability Office
After 9/11, the FBI named counterterrorism its top priority. The bureau has hired a lot of people to fit that need, but its long-term strategy to fill vacancies is still up in the air. David Maurer, a homeland security expert from the Government Accountability Office, talks to In Depth about his new report and recommendations to keep the FBI's counterterrorism positions filled.

On July 21, 2014 the OECD released the full version of a new global standard for the exchange of financial information in tax matters "OECD\Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters"
The new standard which will be presented for formal adoption by the OECD Members in October will establish a system of country-country information exchange agreements for the purpose of reducing tax evasion and money laundering. The systems will require enhanced due diligence programs varying in detail depending upon whether the accounts are preexisting or new and further depending on whether the account holder is an entity or an individual.
The effect of the new programs is that there is likely to be multi-jurisdictional conflicts over who has the right to tax and who has the obligation to report. Is essence who is the taxpayer and who is the taxing authority. Example: A taxpayer with dual national citizenship, such as U.S. and country X has an undeclared account in country Y a non-tax jurisdiction for non-resident accounts. Country Y will have a reporting obligation, presumably to both the U.s and Country X. The taxpayer may then face enforcement actions in both countries where he/she holds citizenship.
The planning issue for anyone with an offshore undeclared account is framed in the context of penalty avoidance or mitigation. In order to avoid near certain multi-jurisdictional fights financial institutions and taxing authorities U.S. taxpayers should consider coming forward under and make a Voluntary Disclosure or if qualified use the Streamline Procedure NOW.
If U.S. taxpayers are discovered through an information exchange agreement or other means then their conduct most certainly will be deem "willful" by the Department of Justice and the IRS. The penalties for "willful" failure to report foreign financial accounts range from the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the highest account balance per year for up to 6 years and include criminal prosecution.
The above described penalties are only the U.S. penalties for willful failure to file a Report of Foreign Financial Account (FBAR) in addition the taxpayer must pay the tax interest and tax penalties on unreported account earnings. The U.S. penalties leave open the issue of penalty proceedings in
foreign jurisdictions. The potential for legal costs, tax and penalties as a result of failure to come forward are not theoretical as the actions of the OECD demonstrate. Every member state of the OECD and most non-members can be expected to enter information agreements even between seemingly hostile nations. IT in only a matte of time and time is not on the side of the undeclared account holders.

In perhaps the biggest healthcare reform news of the year, the Obama administration announced late Tuesday that it is delaying the so-called "play or pay" mandate for one year until 2015.
A key component of healthcare reform is the play-or-pay mandate, which generally provides that an employer with at least 50 full-time employees must either (a) "play" and offer health coverage to its full-time employees, or (b) "pay" a penalty. Up until yesterday, this mandate was generally applicable January 1, 2014.
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is extending the deadline until 2015 because of the numerous concerns voiced by employers. "Any employer shared responsibility payments will not apply until 2015," wrote Mark J. Mazur, Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, in a Treasury blog post. Mr. Mazur also indicated that additional guidance would be issued in the next week.
So, what does this mean? Many employers have been working hard to identify their full-time employees before 2014 by relying on the complex measurement and stability period rules that the IRS gave us in 2012 and again in January of 2013. For example, some of you are measuring your part-time employees' hours – right now – to determine which of those employees average at least 30 hours per week. It seems likely that any measurement period that you are using now, in 2013, for purposes of identifying your full-time employees in 2014 is no longer relevant.
We strongly recommend that you contact your legal counsel and determine a new strategy, given the delayed deadline that was announced yesterday. Your new strategy may be to do nothing until additional guidance is issued, but you should discuss this with your legal counsel immediately.

Groove Juice is a good cymbal cleaner. It gets most gunk and stick marks off in one try. However, there are a couple things to keep in mind. First, you have to be a little careful when using it. I learned the hard way. This is a more aggressive cleaner, so after spraying it on, it is wise to quickly get the cleaner off of the labels. If you don't have labels or don't care about them, no problem. After the cleaner is wiped off of the labels, let it soak for a minute, then wipe and rinse. Second, the nozzles aren't the best; they tend to leak a little. The cleaner itself it very effective, though, so it is still a good option to consider.

- " Staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke English. Accolades go to Daisy who was most helpful. The room was spacious and clean. There could have been more electrical outlets (there were four of us). It was close to bus, trams, and trains. Restaurants were within walking distance. Security was great because you had to use your room card to get above the first floor. We were there for three nights and we lost the WiFi for the last two nights. That was the only downer. "
- 30 Apr 2015 Anonymous USA
- " A fantastic hostel, the dorms were some of the best we have stayed in. Clean, comfortable beds, bathrooms were immaculate! Common room has a bar and the staff have plenty of information to provide. Fantastic location, only one stop on the train into the main central area, otherwise walking distance. Would stay here again- great hostel! "
- 26 Feb 2015 Kara Australia
- " I stayed for a weekend and quite enjoyed the bar downstairs, the free (Albeit not fancy) breakfast and the huge bins to lock up your stuff. Only con was that the room had a weird smell and the bathroom was pretty crowded. "
- 14 Feb 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " In general it was a good hostel and with great location. But excepting a blonde girl that was very nice and the barman, the staff was very awful. They didn't know anything from the city and they didn't have predisposed to help either. I really would prefer a hostel with the according staff. "

International Applicants
Priority for admission is given to applicants who are residents of Newfoundland and Labrador. Due to this admission priority, there are few international applicants admitted to the Program, Four Year and Fast-Track Option, each year.
To be considered a strong international applicant, it is advisable that international applicants have a health care background along with the required courses for admission.
If international applicants do have a health care background, they must meet all admission requirements to the Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program and Memorial University of Newfoundland, as well as submit all required documents by the March 1 deadline.
If international applicants applying to the Four-Year Program do not have a health care background, it is strongly advised that they take courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland for two semesters before applying to the Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program. During the two semesters of study at Memorial University of Newfoundland, applicants should complete the required courses for admission into the Four-Year Program: Biology 1001, Biology 1002 and Chemistry 1010.
It is advisable that students complete eight to ten courses, in the most recent two semesters at Memorial University of Newfoundland, for admission into the Program. Therefore, in addition to the required Biology 1001, Biology 1002 and Chemistry 1010, applicants can complete the non-nursing courses.
International applicants applying to the Fast-Track Option should have an undergraduate degree completed, preferably in a health care area, and have the three required courses completed: Biology 3053, Biochemistry 1430 and Statistics 2500, or their equivalents. Please note: due to the intense pace of the Fast-Track Option, it is strongly advised that international applicants apply to the Four-Year Program.
The deadline to apply and for all required supporting documents to be received in the Nursing Consortium Office is March 1st.
Additional information on admission into Memorial University of Newfoundland for international applicants can be found here: http://www.mun.ca/regoff/admission/international.php
More information and supports for international applicants can be found on these links: http://www.mun.ca/undergrad/international/index.php; http://www.mun.ca/international/

Dell Drops Ubuntu PCs From Its Website 473
from the too-hard-to-spell dept.
...that Microsoft had told them that if they continued to market Linux PCs, they would, quote, "rip them a new one", unquote.
Mac or Ubuntu didn't matter as long as you could do your job.
That is why I did not get the job. I am not running Mac, Windows or Ubuntu. I run a different version of Linux.
Ahhh yes, the ol' Intercontinental Ballistic Chair.
Do you really think sudo is ever mentioned in the user-interface ? It maybe what is going on in the back, but in the user-interface it just says: enter your password to perform administrative tasks
Which works just fine, thank you.
Also I don't know why you are complaining, because Windows Vista, Mac OS X have something similair.

Thomas DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, talks about financing the MTA, controlling debt, and the "white elephant in the room"--the upcoming state budget.
Guests:Thomas DiNapoli
Comments [2]
"White elephant in the room"
Viva Los NPRisms!
Mar. 21 2008 10:32 AM
Mr. DiNapoli,
The white Elephant in the room is the mismanagement and corruption in the MTA.
How a rate hike was approved is a disgrace.
The MTA is a disgrace!

By clear, i mean, reset the mobo, video card, and whatever else back to original factory setting?
Well, resetting the bios settings (can usually be done in the bios menu) or through a jumper on the mobo. Not likely to be the cause of your problem, unless your AGP/PCI ratios are set to something else than 66/33.
One more thing... MSI provides a 3d overclocking utility which displays the current settings for the video card. This program worked fine a couple of months ago, now when I run it all the current settings display NA (not available...i guess) or display nothing about the card at all... this is strange.
Yes, I have an MSI too, since this is only software, I'm guessing the files for it are either missing or corrupt. This is not a very useful software, it actually tends to odownclock the memory back to defaults for no reason. This is not a big problem.
Do you think restoring the computer back a couple of months would help?? I know the computer worked fine back in November.
Thank you for your help.
In my opinion, if this reset is software only (windows drivers), no. Unless that MSI tool is overclocking your card without knowing, use coolbits, rivatuner or everest to check. An overclock on the video card is done through software in windows. Overclocks on CPU/RAM is done in mobo bios. Don't flash anything, just reset the options to default. Make sure video is not overclocked in windows. Run memtest86 to test everything except video.
But I need to know if you see the graphical corruption before loading windows. (in the bios, at post, etc)

Mild agnosticism
the view that the existence or nonexistence of God or gods is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable, therefore one will withhold judgment until/if more evidence is available. A weak agnostic would say
"I don't know, but maybe you do."

The University of Pittsburgh, commonly referred to as Pitt, is a state-related research university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Founded as Pittsburgh Academy in 1787 on what was then the American frontier, Pitt is one of the oldest continuously chartered institutions of higher education in the United States. Pitt evolved into the Western University of Pennsylvania with an alteration to its charter in 1819, and upon relocating to its current campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh in 1908, the school received its current moniker, the University of Pittsburgh. For most of its history Pitt was a private institution, until it became part of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education in 1966. Pitt has been placed in the top cluster of seven leading U.S. public research universities and among the clusters comprising the overall top 25 research universities, is ranked among U.S. News & World Report's top public universities, has been placed among the best for the quality of life of its students, has been named as a "best value" by various publications, and has appeared in multiple rankings of the world's top universities.
