Why Obama Won't Be the One to End the War on Drugs
In New York magazine, Benjamin Wallace-Wells has a long article about the failure of the War on Drugs, in which he says, "Without really acknowledging it, we are beginning to experiment with a negotiated surrender." This is in reference to the recently passed marijuana legalization initiatives in Colorado and Washington, which will likely be followed by other states in upcoming elections. Hanging over these policy changes is the still-to-be-determined reaction of the Obama administration, which hasn't yet said whether it plans to send DEA agents to crack down on the businesses these laws allow for, or the growing operations they'll produce. And I'm beginning to suspect that the administration will try to set some kind of policy course intended to be as low-key and neutral as possible, neither giving the two states the green light to proceed as their new laws envision, nor embarking on some kind of dramatic and visible crackdown.
Why? Because that's what Barack Obama appears to want. One of Andrew Sullivan's readers noted a video from 2007 in which candidate Obama evaded and hedged in his response to a question about legalization; the reader said, "the sense I got was that whatever Obama's actual position on marijuana is, he's not about to let that be the issue that he wastes political capital on. That's not going to be the issue that prevents him from becoming president and fixing everything else that he cares more about." That sounds about right to me: While Obama may believe that the War has been a failure and it's absurd to lock up hundreds of thousands of people for possessing, buying, or selling small amounts of marijuana, it just isn't all that high on his priority list. If making a major policy change is risky, he's not going to bother. On the other hand, he doesn't want to alienate the 50 percent of the country that now supports legalization, many of whom are his staunch supporters, so his preferred outcome would be that no one pays much attention to the issue for the next four years.
Obama has been a continuing disappointment to his supporters who favor legalization, but there's a kind of inverse Nixon-to-China thing going on with him. As the first president who admits to being an enthusiastic pot smoker in his youth (and of course the first black president), he'll be the last person to begin the dismantling of the War on Drugs. But maybe, bit by bit, it'll happen without him.

How can any responsible parent not desire a saner drug policy, and one that's based on facts rather than reefer madness? Prohibition guarantees that many illegal drugs are far easier for our children to procure than even alcohol or nicotine. That's because, even though these are both very dangerous and addictive drugs, they are at least sold in properly controlled and regulated environments.
Under our present regime, certain plants/concoctions/drugs are sold only by criminals and terrorists; the huge black-market profits are used to threaten innocent civilians, bribe law enforcement officials, and buy support from unconscionable politicians; the availability and usage rates tend to go up, not down, and our prisons have become filled to capacity with easily replaced vendors and smugglers —this list of dangerous and negative consequences is actually endless. To continue prohibition is ludicrous, and those of us who can't see that by now, must be either severely mentally challenged or using something far stronger than any of us have even heard of.
Why on earth should we be willing to whack ourselves with ever-bigger and more-repressive prohibition hammers, while drug use and availability keep going up, not down, and while we all plunge deeper into Loserville?
Prohibition is the most destructive, dysfunctional, dishonest and racist social policy since Slavery. Prohibition is a holocaust in slow motion. We MUST end it NOW!

This is really not good to legalize this kind of drugs for we all know that this kind of drug will do not good to the families and kids. Of course you can as well compare this one to gun violence and now to State have passed a bill for this idea. This kind of issue must not be the aim of society. I believe that this drug is helpful if use properly however when this will become a usual consumption in a common area where it is legal, there is nothing I could think of is the side effect of this one if this is abuse by the consumer or the user. I believe that this kind drugs can lead user to addiction and probably not a good idea for the future life.

Okay okay it was me. I deleted the posts.
Okay, no I didn't. But I hope it was a mistake because even though Neowin is a dictatorship, I hope free speech has SOME value here. Even if the speech is viewed as unpopular.

You know who did it--
since he said "I AM THE PRESIDENT AND THE BUCK STOPS HERE!"
(I know he didn't delete the post)
I love free speech though it would be nice to debate things like the pro's and con's of Privatizing FEMA without someone saying - NO NO NO because Romney suggested it. Or flaming at me instead of actually talking about the topic
there are some Pro's and Con's to it
There will be accountability to the Better Business Bureau
Companies will go out seeking people to help instead of waiting on the GOV and State approval.
If they don't do a good job they don't get paid instead of what happened to Katrina where nothing happened and they still got paid for doing nothing.
There will be more than just one company looking to help people which means better service...
plus Colleges training people for this work.
that it will no longer be under the control of the Government Agency instead - only to pay for quality services rendered
No one will get paid to sit on their bottoms while people suffer.
But you know most people won't listen to that instead shut it down because of where the idea came from instead of actually debating it.
Posted 31 October 2012 - 00:36
But on topic, I agree with you. People only flame instead of talking about the actual problem and it's a real issue. It sucks because it means we will never get things done. I love to debate, I honestly do, and I can admit when I am wrong, but sometimes I don't even bother because the conversation will get derailed anyway.

Fraser Island, Fraser Coast Area
In the great tradition of many Australian place names, 75 Mile Beach on Fraser Island, was so named because it is approximately 75 miles long. Due to the constant movement of sea and sand, it's not always exactly 75 miles long, but then, '75.173 Mile Beach' just wouldn't have had the same ring to it.
75 Mile Beach runs along most of the east coast of Fraser Island. While it may not be the best place for swimming due to dangerous currents and plentiful Tiger sharks, it is extremely beautiful and has a number of excellent highlights such as Champagne Pools, Indian Head (from where you can often see the sharks in the surf), the Maheno Wreck and Eli Creek. Eli Creek is strikingly clear and has its own unique and varied wildlife.
This unique stretch of beach is also a National Highway as well as a landing strip for light aircraft. Driving along 75 Mile Beach or taking off and landing during a scenic flight of the island is a must do.

Transitioning to Low GWP Alternatives
The Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program is EPA's program to evaluate and regulate substitutes for the ozone-depleting chemicals that are being phased out under the stratospheric ozone protection provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
In Section 612(c) of the Clean Air Act, the Agency is authorized to identify and publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes for class I or class II ozone-depleting substances.
The Administrator has determined a large number of alternatives exist that reduce overall risk to human health and the environment. The purpose of the program is to allow a safe, smooth transition away from ozone-depleting compounds by identifying substitutes that offer lower overall risks to human health and the environment.
The SNAP program has reviewed substitutes for the following industrial sectors:

Everyone knows that electronic fuel injection is great, but messing with computers, wires, a new intake manifold, sensors, and having to program it on a laptop makes dealing with tuning a simple carburetor much more appealing. Many owners of older cars equipped with a two- or four-barrel carburetor, would rather put up with hard starts in the morning and changing power valves to optimize fuel during winter and summer seasons, than deal with the difficulty of upgrading to an aftermarket electronic fuel injection system.
But the fact is that many aftermarket EFI systems have become much easier to install and tune. Easier still is Holley's Avenger EFI system that doesn't even require a new intake manifold and can literally have you swapped from a carburetor to EFI in a matter of hours. The Avenger EFI system is unique, as it replaces any carburetor with a computer-controlled throttle-body injection system. What's more is that the TBI unit simply bolts onto your existing intake manifold so there's no need for new gaskets, draining the coolant, and all the extra expenses.
Despite the fact that it's a throttle-body injection system and not a multiport EFI, (Holley makes those too) the Avenger EFI is powerful enough to work with a variety of engine and horsepower applications from 275-600 hp and with cfm ratings from 600-900 cfm. So it can work on anything from a Chevy 250ci inline-six, a street-performance small-block 350 V-8, or a 502 big-block bracket-race motor.
Installation is simple and we looked on as Rob Green, of JKR Racing in Orange, California, installed the Avenger EFI system onto a '61 Corvette that was being built as a performance street vehicle. One of the first things Green had to do was create a fuel return line for the system. Fuel injection systems provide constant pressure to the injectors, and a return line ensures that the system doesn't get starved (vapor lock) or over pressurized with fuel.
Green used Earl's AN-8 stainless steel braided fuel hose that would eventually attach to the outlet of the throttle body and connect to a hard stainless steel line he bent, which runs alongside the frame. The line feeds into another braided piece of fuel hose that goes back into the tank. In this case the Corvette uses a fuel cell located in the trunk and has AN fittings for both a fuel inlet and return line already on it. If you have an OEM fuel tank, you can simply purchase a return line adapter that fits between the rubber filler neck of the tank. Moroso makes a nice one (PN MOR-6535) that's made from aluminum tubing and retails around $40.
Holley's Avenger EFI system comes with a high-pressure inline fuel pump that must be adapted to your vehicle's existing fuel line. In this case, the Corvette already had an electronic pump with a separate regulator. Green removed both and replaced them with the new Holley electric pump supplied in the kit. After finding a suitable location away from the exhaust, he mounted the new pump to the frame using the isolator clamps provided in the kit. A fuel filter is also included, and Green plumbed it all together using stainless braided hose and the appropriate AN-8 fittings. Once he was done, both the fuel line and return line now run directly from the fuel cell, along the inside of the frame and up to the throttle-body.
The engine in this application was a 427ci small-block stroker that was outfitted with a four-barrel carburetor on top of a Weiand Street Warrior dual-plane intake manifold. Swapping it was only a matter of unbolting the four-barrel carburetor and bolting on the new Holley TBI unit. The fuel inlet hose was attached to the rear of the throttle-body, which already has a pre-adjusted fuel pressure regulator. The new fuel return line was then attached to the outlet on the throttle body that leads back to the tank.

Local NFL fans victimized again by TV policies
There are six NFL games scheduled for 1:25 p.m. Sunday, the final day of the regular season. Five have playoff implications. One does not.
So of course the latter — Chargers-Raiders — is the only one on TV here. Most the country will be allowed to watch two games at 1:25, one on CBS and one on Fox. But, because of the NFL's unfair and, frankly, stupid TV rules, Fox is not permitted to show an afternoon game here.
The NFL says it does so "to maximize attendance" because "full stadiums produce a better, more exciting experience for fans in the stadium and those watching on TV."
Yeah, right. Have you ever turned a game off TV because the crowd wasn't loud enough? Besides, the best way to ensure full stadiums is to provide a worthy product, not by a form of extortion.
Meanwhile, the "victims" here are people — and there many, particularly right now — who aren't interested in this Chargers game but would watch the extra game at 1:25 (Packers-Vikings). So they either won't watch TV, or they will turn on the NFL RedZone Channel. Either way, that doesn't help the NFL's precious TV ratings.
There has to be a better way to treat fans that support an NFL franchise, especially one that plays in a publicly owned stadium. But then it wouldn't be the NFL.
• Good news for local basketball fans: Bill Walton is back on the air Friday night, providing analysis for the Missouri-UCLA game at 7 p.m. on ESPN2. It's part of his new deal with the four-letter network, and it's about time.
• With Jim Rome shifting over to The Mighty 1090 beginning Wednesday morning, XTRA Sports 1360 will replace him with Jay Mohr's new show from Fox Sports Radio. Both shows air from 9 a.m. until noon.
New Year's Eve on TV
For all San Diego has to offer, a central meeting spot for New Year's Eve generally isn't on the list. And that seems as good a reason as any why, if you're looking to just stay home Monday night and watch the clock turn to 2013 on TV, you'll be looking at a national broadcast.
Here's the lineup of the six major channels in San Diego and what they'll have on the air at midnight:
Channel 5/69: Fox's national show, "New Year's Eve Live!"
Channel 6: "Frasier."
Channel 7/39: NBC's national show, "New Year's Eve With Carson Daly."
Channel 8: Rerun of "Late Show With David Letterman."
Channel 9/51: Syndicated national show from Hollywood.
Channel 10: ABC's national show, "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2013."
Sure, all the local stations will offer New Year's Eve coverage on the 10 or 11 p.m. news, but even if they wanted to make an entire program out of the happenings in San Diego, what would they show?
Maybe someone can think of something by next year. You don't really want us to have to watch Ryan Seacrest every year, right?

- How to Read a Study Record
People who are infected with HIV and tuberculosis (TB) need to receive medications that treat both diseases safely and effectively. This study will enroll children infected with HIV and TB and evaluate the safety and tolerance of an antiretroviral (ARV) treatment regimen for HIV that contains raltegravir when administered with a TB treatment regimen that includes rifampicin. Study researchers will also determine the most effective dose of raltegravir for children when it is taken with rifampicin.
HIV Infections
Drug: Raltegravir
Phase 1
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase I/II Dose-Finding, Safety, Tolerance, Drug-Drug Interaction and Pharmacokinetics Study of a Raltegravir-Containing Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Regimen in ART-Naive HIV-Infected and TB Co-Infected Children ≥ 3 Years to < 12 Years of Age
- Termination from treatment due to a suspected adverse drug reaction (SADR), including death and adverse events of greater than or equal to Grade 3, attributable to raltegravir [ Time Frame: Measured through a participant's last study visit, at approximately Month 4 to 9 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Early termination of TB therapy if there is multi-drug-resistant (MDR)/extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB detected subsequent to starting ARV treatment or if due to toxicity attributable to TB medication [ Time Frame: Measured through a participant's last study visit, at approximately Month 4 to 9 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Failure to respond at Week 8, which includes HIV RNA (copies/mL) greater than 400 copies/mL AND less than 1-log10 drop from baseline [ Time Frame: Measured at Week 8 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Development of new opportunistic infections (OIs) [ Time Frame: Measured through a participant's last study visit, at approximately Month 4 to 9 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2014
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|May 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 3 to Less than 12 Years of Age
Participants will receive chewable raltegravir tablets, initially dosed at 12 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 800 mg) twice daily, in addition to two NRTIs to treat HIV and a rifampicin-containing regimen to treat TB. Participants will be enrolled into the study into two cohorts: Cohort I: 3 years of age to less than 6 years of age and Cohort II: 6 years of age to less than 12 years of age. After a study visit at Day 5 to 8, efavirenz will be added to the regimen.
Drug: Raltegravir
Chewable raltegravir tablets, initially dosed at 12 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 800 mg) twice daily.
Detailed Description:
People who are infected with HIV are also at risk for becoming infected with TB, particularly in many resource-limited settings, including Sub-Saharan Africa. Rifampicin is a medication commonly used to treat TB. There is a need for HIV treatment regimens that contain newer ARV medications that are well-tolerated and have minimal interactions with rifampicin-containing TB medication regimens. This study will enroll HIV-infected children who have never taken any ARV medications and who are infected with TB and are taking or will be starting a TB medication regimen that includes rifampicin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of raltegravir-containing ARV regimens to treat HIV when administered with a rifampicin-containing regimen to treat TB in children. Study researchers will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the medications (i.e., how medication is absorbed and processed in the body) and determine the most effective dose of raltegravir when it is administered with a TB regimen that contains rifampicin.
During the study, researchers will continuously monitor participant data for safety and other factors. Researchers may adjust the dose of raltegravir given to participants prior to enrolling additional participants.
At study entry, participants will undergo a medical and medication history review, physical examination, medication adherence assessment, blood collection, and urine collection. Participants will receive chewable raltegravir tablets twice daily, and they will also take their TB medications, including rifampicin, and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) ARV medications that will be chosen by participants' doctors. This study will provide raltegravir to participants; all other medications will be prescribed by participants' own doctors.
At study visits at Days 5 to 8 and at Week 4, participants will remain in the clinic for about 12 hours. During these two visits, participants will take part in the same study procedures that occurred at the entry visit, but they will also have small amounts of blood collected several times throughout the 12 hours to measure the amount of medication in the blood. After the Day 5 to 8 visit, participants will begin receiving efavirenz, which is an ARV medication, in addition to the other medications. Participants will continue receiving raltegravir until they stop taking their TB medications. They will continue to take efavirenz and the other two ARV medications for 3 months after they stop receiving raltegravir and the TB medications.
Additional study visits will occur at Week 8, every 4 weeks until the participant stops receiving raltegravir and the TB medications, and 4 and 12 weeks after stopping raltegravir and the TB medications. These study visits will include the same study procedures that occurred at study entry. Participants will be enrolled in the study for a total of about 4 to 9 months.

Burress back home with SteelersPosted by on November 21, 2012 – 10:09 pm
There was a familiar face in the Steelers locker room on Wednesday as wide receiver Plaxico Burress was back in the black and gold, wearing the familiar No. 80 practice jersey and a big grin.
"I still have some true Pittsburgh fans around here. That's one of the reasons why I went back to my old number," said Burress. "They have to dust off the old jerseys. A lot of my family and friends are going through their closets. I told them to knock off the dust and put it back on and let's get back to work."
The team signed him on Tuesday to add depth after Jerricho Cothery suffered broken ribs late in the loss to the Ravens on Sunday night. Burress wasted no time getting back to work, practicing on Wednesday and looking like he fit right in.
"It feels great. There is a comfort level here," said Burress of being back. "A lot of the guys are still here when I was here. I was just walking around seeing all the old faces. I am happy to be back playing football, but more than anything there is a comfort level. Everybody has been so supportive. I am just anxious to get back to playing football."
Burress caught up with some of his former teammates, joking with Casey Hampton and Larry Foote, but first and foremost he got down to business learning the game plan for this week.
"The first thing I did was study the playbook," said Burress, who said he has been working out to stay in shape. "I've been playing in this league a long time. I've seen some fast and talented guys throughout the years that couldn't grasp the mental part of the game that wouldn't allow just their physical abilities to show. If you don't know what you are doing out there, you can't play. It doesn't matter how good you are. The first thing I did was look at the playbook and I asked questions. Where do I need to be and what do I need to do?"
His role has yet to be defined, whether his 6-5 frame will used in the red zone or to stretch the field, but with Cotchery out and Antonio Brown working his way back from an ankle injury, he is willing to do whatever is asked.
"Whatever role they give me, like I told Coach (Mike) Tomlin, I am going to come in and try to perform to the best of my ability," said Burress. "I am picking things up pretty smoothly, a lot of the terminology is the same but there are some different things. I just have to learn the plays and get out there and make plays.
"I don't see why I couldn't play on Sunday. Like I said, there's a trust level and a comfort level. I have two more days to pick up some of the things on offense. From a standpoint of just going out and making plays, I understand coverage. I have been around a long time. It's just getting to the spots where I need to be."
When Burress left the Steelers as a free agent after the 2004 season, eventually signing with the New York Giants, he didn't anticipate coming back. But having the opportunity to return to Pittsburgh is something he is thrilled about.
"I didn't know where I was going to be," said Burress. "I cannot say that I was ever going to come back, but if you are talking about literally and physically getting a chance to finish what you started, how many guys get that opportunity?"
The team actually brought Burress in for a workout during the 2011 training camp, after he had been out of football for two years while in jail for a gun violation that resulted in his gun discharging and hitting him in the thigh. Instead of coming to the Steelers, he ended up signing with the New York Jets.
"It was a difficult decision to walk away from because of the guys that were here, James Farrior and Hines Ward, really the foundation of the team when I left. There were still here," said Burress. "I ended up in New Jersey. My wife had a job and things like that. It was a decision I basically made for the family based on where she was at, her career and our kids. I was already established there.
"It was a tough situation to walk away from but the ending of it is that the Steelers had enough faith in me and confidence to come out here and be a good football player, be a good teammate and try to win a championship."
Burress said he has learned from his mistakes, has put the past where it belongs, in the past, and is more than ready to move forward.
"There is nothing I can do to change the events that have occurred to me," said Burress. "If you read about what went on behind you, then you can't pay attention to what is going on in front of you. I am just going to keep moving forward. I'm here. I feel good. I am just blessed to have the opportunity to be with these guys and play football.
"You learn from your past experiences, football wise and in life. You go through experiences and you learn from them. That's why they call it life."
And now, life has put him right back where his professional football career began; a place where his love of the game blossomed; a place where he had fun playing football – something he wants to do again.
"The goal every day you walk into this building is to win a world championship," said Burress. "I just want to come in and have an impact, learn and teach some of the young guys some old tricks. I just want to go out and play football and have fun."

I am very happy to see Plaxico Burress back in Pittsburgh and wearing Black and Gold. I will be waving my Terrible Towel for number 80 again. All the while watching to see another great catch by number 17 Mike "60 Minutes" Wallace. These two receivers are fun to watch.

Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.


text: During one of our usual stops looking for fodder, we happened upon what appeared to be an old He-Man toy. It has no markings/writing on it whatsoever, but is in the same style as the late 80s He-Man stuff, and since I'm not really a fan of He-Man, I'm not sure what it is. All I've determined is that you can pull it upwards about an inch at the waist and it is nice in water to be squirted out from a small hole between his eyes. Wondering if anyone had any clue as to what this bizarre looking thing is? Thanks.

If you told me a year ago that the tea party was going to be the movement that it is today I might not have believed it.I didn't think it was a passing phase or fad, but I just never expected it to sustain itself let alone actually organize.
Just when one would think the country is circling the drain of a White House toilet nick-named The Constitution, this truly American movement carrying the torch of truly American values explodes with nuclear fury over the nation and scares the poop out of liberals....or as I like to think of it, the Great Liberal Brain Drain.....
......I probably shouldn't be in charge of history books anytime this century.
Or maybe I should...for the last year liberals have dedicated so much of their media to painting the Tea Party as a bunch of dumb hicks who can't spell anything right on their signs (affectionately called teabonics).
UPDATE: It should be noted that there is very well founded speculation these signs are the product of liberal infiltrators instructed to make the party look like a bunch of buffoons by sites like crashtheteaparty.org.
Now the media is trying to paint them as a bunch of "well-educated" rich people.
If this brazen attempt to rewrite their script weren't so annoying I would be more concerned about such a weird admission coming from the political ideology that spends its time asserting it is the smartest person in the room. If these "dumb hick" teabonics speaking conservatives are better educated than the "general public" then where does that rank the intelligence of liberalism on a scale of 1 to teleprompter?
Either the Tea Party is stupid as or its smart. Whatever liberals want to label them one thing they definitely need to do is pick one and stick with it for once.
They did the same thing to George W. Bush, who was simultaneously the dumbest and most evil genius of a president we've ever had. They never know what they actually believe. They just know they hate conservatives and will SAY ANYTHING to get others to hate them too. Which begs the question if they actually know what they stand for in the first place.
It must really unnerve liberals that the Tea Party doesn't have any ambiguous one syllable tag line that can be made to say anything and nothing all at once. Their signs may be misspelled but at least they actually say something real.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Check out the Contract From America here to see what I mean.
Since liberals seem to understand symbols better how is this for a pretty picture?
Happy Tea Party Day!

I asked how they applied the body techniques to the ken, but no one showed me. Since there was nothing to be done about the situation, I began practicing the ken in 1955 soon after I began Aikido training. What else could I do? Nobody taught me! O-Sensei did sword techniques at lightning speed and would say, "That's how you do it," and then disappeared from the dojo. I tried in vain to understand what he was doing and the next moment he was gone.

Crooked Creek, "the blue-ribbon Smallmouth Bass fishing stream of the state," offers spectacular scenery and Class I to II rapids characterized by deep pools, fast chutes, and clear water.
In addition to its reputation as one of the best Smallmouth Bass fishing areas, Crooked Creek also provides habitat for many other species including channel catfish and several varieties of sunfish.
Meandering its way through northern Arkansas to the White River, it passes through rolling hills, cedar glades, bluffs, thickets, and lush pastures typical to the Ozark landscape.
Nearby roads are well hidden by the gorgeous trees along the creek. Paddling in late-fall is especially beautiful when the plants along the creek begin changing colors.
Canoe camping can be done along the creek, but paddlers should be aware of flash flood potential and set up camp well above the waterline to avoid an unpleasant surprise in the middle of the night.
Many other great Arkansas paddling destinations like the Buffalo National River and its tributaries are nearby and offer fine camping choices as well.
About 52 miles from Harmon, Crooked Creek is off the beaten path, but the drive is beautiful too, so bring your camera.
Although the stream is most navigable from October through June, it's best in late-October through late-April, during the "rainy" season.
These photos were taken by Tony on his recent Smallmouth Bass trip down Crooked Creek.

Megan Fox Says Her Stepson Is "Indifferent" to Her New Baby Noah
It sounds like not everyone in Megan Fox's home is particularly baby crazy.
The This Is 40 star tells The Mirror that her ten-year-old stepson Kassius doesn't pay much attention to two-month-old baby Noah, whose parents are Megan and Kassius' dad, Brian Austin Green.
"Kash is a little indifferent," she says of Kassius' feelings toward Noah. "He's not experiencing any sort of jealousy or competitiveness, but he's not excited because he just wants to go play video games."
Kassius is Brian's son from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil. Brian and Vanessa split in 2003, and he married Megan in 2010.
However, Megan says Brian is a very devoted father. "My husband is amazing," she says. "He does more work than I do, and he's just a champ."
We assume that Megan shouldn't worry, and that Kassius and Noah will become closer as they get older. Plus, for a ten-year-old boy, since when is a baby ever as much fun as video games?

- Percentage of the heating demand of all air-conditioned precincts of the building for a selected day of the year (day of winter) and cooling demand for another day (day of summer), compared to the day of the year with the most heating or cooling, respectively.
- Monthly demand of heating and cooling of all precincts of the building.
Once the calculations of EnergyPlus are complete, Building Services generates the following documents:
- Monthly heating demand of the building and the cells
- Justification of compliance with corresponding thermal code
Computer Platform
Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000
Programming Language
Building Services contains all features for designing a complete project set. It uses a single model to generate many results, including the analysis of thermal and acoustic behavior and the design of building services (HVAC, solar energy, plumbing, gas, electricity, etc.). This eliminates the inconvenience of using multiple software applications during the design process.
The program is self-loaded with Spanish weather data to facilitate the design of buildings in Spain. Additional weather data may be required to design buildings outside Spain. These data may be downloaded free of charge from the EnergyPlus Web site.

Alternative Tentacles is excited to announce the tour dates for Ultra Bidé's 2013 Fall/Winter tour in support of their brand new CD and LP DNA vs DNA-c on Alternative Tentacles (virus 458).
Straight up skull-shattering is what comes to mind when hearing Japanese noisesters Ultra Bidé. On their first US record in over 10 years, they're hyper-energetic, relentless and fun! DNA vs DNA-c documents the trio's duel bass and drum attack, like a monster that pounds ever so thick and creamy, as if it were a custard donut cooked by Satan. Led by original Japanese punk, singer, & bassist Hide, Ultra Bidé will guide you across a complicated galaxy of sound and you're not always sure you will survive the voyage. Equally psychedelic as it is primal and fuzzy punk rock, Ultra Bidé is menacing and confident.
Ultra Bidé will be touring the USA and Canada upon the release of DNA vs DNA-c during October and November. Their legendary live sets head directly toward the stratosphere with unmatchable energy. They have got the musicianship and vigor that is clearly the work of heavy music experts. Hide's vocals drive the insane dragster that is Ultra Bidé far past the supersonic barrier, and the vivacity of the band's massive bass and drum sound will pulverize you into a pulp. These guys have been doing it since 1978 and show no signs of slowing down. Fans of the Unsane and the Amphetemine Reptile sound won't want to miss this.
Even MORE tour dates added to the long awaited Turn Me On Dead Man tour! Get them here: http://www.alternativetentacles.com/tours
And have fun trippin' out to this psychedelic video from their album Technicolor Mother:

Hi all, iv'e been reading a lot of comments lately on EWN on the news feeds, Blogs and Forums and the one thing i keep reading repeatedly is people whinging about the current product WWE are delivering to us, so I thought, i'd weigh in and give my opinion.
I'm gonna start with the one thing nearly everyone complains about, John Cena, personally I am fed up with him being given the title
Hi all! this is my first blog soo please bare with me!
As you can tell this is gonna be a whinge about WWE being PG, ill try to keep it brief and to the point.
The other day i was bored and nothing on TV soo i thought i'd put wrestlemania 24 on ( the last non-PG mania' ) it wasn't an exactly amazing mania but it was way better than the slaver WWE currently produce us!

Hui Li
Office System
Since 2002, Hui Li has been committed to the researches and training on Microsoft Office family products and introducing Microsoft Office technologies via community lectures. Through four years' continuous contributions and efforts in the Office communities, he found that the value of Microsoft MVP has been recognized significantly by users. In 2006, he applied for this MVP honor and was awarded then. Since the first time became a special Office lecturer in Microsoft in 2002, he has always delivered the newest features of Office products with his greatest passions and actively promoted Office and the latest technologies within the communities. Meanwhile, he received public recognition and applause from people within the communities. By sharing technical experience with others, he has continuously drawn the feedbacks and suggestions from people within the communities, which enabled him to keep improving his lecture skills and writing skills, and also motivated him to learn new technologies and products, thus improving his technical competencies.
In 2002, Hui Li became self-employed. He started an IT service company and he was the general manager. So far, the company has been operating for more than 10 years, being a technical service provider of Microsoft, Cisco, DOLBY and Lenovo. While operating his own company, in spare time, Hui Li would also actively share knowledge about Office products within the communities. Since the first time he became a Microsoft special Office lecturer in 2002, he has participated in all the product launch conferences of Microsoft Office 2003/2007/2010/2013 in China. With his company, he has provided more than 10 years' research and technical services in the field of Microsoft Office System. His knowledge domains and service scopes also extend along with the continuous innovation of Microsoft Office products. For every innovative technology and efficient application, he is enthusiastic about delivering it to everyone around.
Since the first time he was recognized as a MVP, Hui Li h
as won this honor for 6 consecutive years. The MVP honor made him more focused on researching and sharing the Office product expertise and also made him clear about his technical directions, that is, to research, promote and spread the Office product technologies. Becoming a MVP, he had more chances to come into direct contact with Microsoft. Later, he was invited to participate in the product launch conferences of Office 2007/2010/2013 editions and the product demonstrations. He gave a keynote speech at the TechEd China. When participating in these Office events, he would always feel the honor and glory from being a MVP at every time when he heard "lecture by MVP Hui Li".
In 2012, as a senior technical lecturer and community leader in Tianjin City, he participated in the Microsoft Office 2013 product launch conference and city-touring, Microsoft TechEd technical conference, Microsoft TechNet Web broadcast and more than 30 MVP community lectures, with over 5,000 audiences. From 2012 to now, he has already assisted in organizing two MVP community lecture activities, introducing to the communities the latest technologies of the New Office. Whether he's giving a community lecture or introducing Office courses at TechED, Hui Li was always one of the most popular lecturers. Now, Hui Li is also the technical director and principal lecturer for Microsoft Customer Immersion Experience in China. In the past one year, he accomplished almost 100 Microsoft CIE activities, in which more than 500 enterprises and nearly 2,000 people have participated.
Interactively, they came to know about the new product and gain the first perception about its application scenarios and Microsoft solutions. As a consultant and writer, Hui Li, commissioned by China State Education Commission Test Center, took part in compiling and planning the examination syllabus, official textbooks and examination papers of National Computer Rank Examination (NCRE) Grade Two (Office) and included the new version of Microsoft Office in the NCRE examination syllabus.

Harker's reasoning is just as flawed as saying that a man cannot work for the benefit of women. Preposterous!
You see that Harker will smirk and challenge you if you don't yet own a DGT. It is not enough to love them and be in the middle of the aristotle/rugerpc 5 step plan to ownership (currently working on step 2). No, you have to prove ownership before you get access to the secret handshake.
Well, sir, we and the rest of the people call "TURKEY" - er, I mean "FOWL!"
Harker also misrepresents our platform. We are not about changing 'a perfectly good guitar', we see the current DGT staying in the production lie for as long as DGh and PRSh say it should. But we are realists. People want options.
I'll cite YOUR OWN PARTY as evidence that things should not be stagnant. The current color options for a stock DGT are:
Antique White
PRS Tobacco Sunburst
Solana Burst
Sunset Burst
Notice anything missing Mr. Representative of the Eriza Green Party?? HUH? You would deny your own party its signature color??
News Flash - it's about options. You SAY you want a SE version, but under your 'rule' there would be even fewer color options in that line. Any of the Eriza Green Party faithful would have to go to PS or PTC to get their signature color. Just how does THAT jive with wanting to give an inexpensive option to the masses? Your platform is thus revealed as an elitist sham. You, sir, care not for the yearning masses.
Like it or not, the Equal Temperament Party is the voice and hopes of the people.

.... is trying very hard to persuade me to read the Harry Potter books.
I've seen some of the movies (on telly), but have never read the books.
Is it worth my while?
I've just tried to explain Discworld to him, and I'd only got as far as the Disc, the elephants and the turtle, and he said it was way too much for him to accept!!

Floor Care
Modified on 2007/12/27 13:12 by Administrator — Categorized as: Somerset Hardwood
Somerset Hardwood Flooring features the latest in surface finishing technology. Somerset's Ultimate™ finish is an advanced formulation of polyurethane coupled with aluminum oxide. This combination produces a finish with exceptional hardness, more scratch resistance and longer gloss retention — so your floor will stay looking like-new with minimal effort.
Routine Care
• Sweep or vacuum your hardwood floor on a regular basis (about once a week) just as you would any floor covering.
• Clean up spills with Somerset's Ultimate Wood Floor Cleaner™ which is specially formulated for the Ultimate finish. This product should also be used for general cleaning, as needed.
Somerset's Specially-Formulated Care Products
We recommend using Somerset Floor Care Products to maintain the beauty of your floor. Somerset's Ultimate Wood Floor Cleaner™ has been developed to protect and maintain the Ultimate™ finish. This cleaner has been specially-formulated for the easy cleaning and care of flooring in Somerset's Color, Maple, Exotic, Country, Specialty and Value Collections. The use of other products not formulated for your Somerset floor may damage your floor, and void the warranty (see Somerset's warranty for complete details).
Minor surface scratches can be easily repaired using the Somerset Touch-Up Kit designed for your floor color. Touch-Up Kits are available from the dealer or installer from whom you purchased your Somerset floor.
Floors that have been damaged from years of wear and tear or neglect can be restored to their original beauty by sanding, staining and refinishing. For best results, we recommend this be done by a professional wood flooring refinisher.
If your decorating needs change over the years, your floor can be refinished to a new color to complement your new decor. Again, we recommend this be done by a professional wood flooring refinisher.
By properly caring for your floor and following basic preventative maintenance tips and common sense, you can keep your floor looking new for years, delaying and possibly eliminating the need for major refinishing or repair. When you make the decision to purchase Somerset Hardwood Flooring, you are making an investment that will last the lifetime of your home, giving you many years of enjoyment and adding value to your home.

It honestly is. As I said, I do all of my browsing, and always have, and a Mac based computer. Typing this from a Macbook Pro. I would 1) totally admit if it was me 2) would never be in such a situation to begin with.
nice, I will suggest this first as it sounds like the simplest approach.
for firefox the two biggies would be Adblock Plus and NoScript
Would this help? If so I am sure he would use it upon my suggestion.
Couldn't he use Metro IE to view pron instead?
Posted 31 December 2012 - 03:59
Posted 31 December 2012 - 05:35
He should probably start using Chrome over Firefox for at least his porn surfing, because it has a sandbox, and have AdBlock installed as well as FlashControl (blocks all Flash content, and it allows in-page enabling, as well as whitelisting for trusted sites, like YouTube). Also, as others have mentioned, uninstall Java, or at least disable it.
Okay, I ask this as I truly do not know. For starters, I have always done all of my devious internet excursions using a Macintosh. But not kidding, that is the truth.
So a friend of mine who shall remain nameless, was having all sorts of issues with his fairly new install of Windows 8 this past weekend.
After running a Virus Scan, which he has a full working copy of ESET Nod32, turns out 3 things were detected, they were eventually removed, and for now, all seems normal. I was unable to see what was detected and removed, he told me about this all after the fact. So not even sure what was found. But he was having some weird issues for sure.
So what can he do to prevent anything like this happening in the future? Can one even really get viruses from visiting adult related sites? Or is that a myth within itself? I am pretty sure it is not, but I honestly do not know, so trying to help my friend avoid any such issues in the future.
So are there any specific apps he can use? Any specific settings to enable in Firefox (that is his browser of choice).
Any help is truly appreciated.

best thing to do is have an up to date virus scanner and do a malware scan once in a while. every site can get infected from time to time, it would also depend on if you are using one or particular sites all the time, or using google to search around for what you wanted, using many sites would be more likely that you come across one that is going to infect your machine.
if you dont have a malware/spyware scanner
Posted 31 December 2012 - 16:59
Nice I did not know that, I installed Win 8 on a partition on my comp, but I keep falling back to 7. I only use my Windows PC for gaming and streaming, so I do not use it much these days. That is definitely a great reason to suggest using it.
WinRT apps are sandboxed and Flash in WinRT IE is locked to trusted sites...I'm sure it would help.
I don't know how my brother still gets infected, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen again.

Model: 2916271 | X Series
The seven-string SLATXMGQ3-7 features an arched Soloist™ mahogany body with a 4A quilted maple top veneer, a three-piece through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement for superior stability, EMG™ 707 neck and bridge pickup set, a bound compound-radius (12"-16") rosewood fingerboard with Piranha Pearloid inlays, 24 jumbo frets, 26.5" scale and a Floyd Rose™ Special bridge.
Jackson X series models feature a selection of EMG® and Duncan Designed™ humbucking pickups for unparalleled tonal versatility from clean to heavily distorted. All tremolo-equipped models feature Floyd Rose® Special bridges.
True neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980. For greater playability and sustain, X Series models feature a neck-through design usually reserved for much more expensive instruments. Further, graphite support rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.
X Series models feature compound-radius fingerboards. Jackson pioneered the use of this innovative design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
The X Series presents a wealth of distinctive Jackson stylistic options from the subdued to the striking. Sharkfin or "piranha" fingerboard inlays. The traditional Jackson six-in-line headstock or an AT headstock with tuners on either side. Deep solid colors or beautifully figured tops. The X Series has something for everyone.

Barbie® doll looks sensational as a Celtic princess in an olive green gown with detailing inspired by the artwork of the Celtic people.
