32 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 5 miles
We haven't met! Let's change that!
I believe everything happens for a reason, and therefore never plan ahead. Every choice posed is full of potential and every choice made is perfect. Existence is meant to be explored, not ignored. I'm looking for someone to share the wonder and excitement that each day's choices can bring. I find myself drawn to people who know what it means to say "yes" to life. There are so many things out there that I don't understand, and it always excites me when I meet someone who knows more than I do about a subject. Learning never stops, and the ability to learn is my greatest asset, and the one I foster the most. I have the extraordinary pleasure to say I love my job. I work as the Entertainment Technical Support Manager for Vicon Motion Systems. This may sound stuffy or even nerdy, but I get to spend my days travelling around the country and teaching people how to do something I'm good at. It's an amazing feeling to walk into a game studio and teach people how to capture the best possible motion from amazing stunt people/actors/friends. One day I'm helping shoot Dead Space 3, and the next day I'm teaching NASA engineers how to use our software to help people into space. I have been able to travel to so many places and meet so many people. Every day is new and exciting, and while there are those mundane moments, everything becomes worth it when I walk into the studio that makes my favorite video game and they start asking me questions that I know the answer to. Sadly, work is not enough, however. I'm looking for someone to share my experiences with. I love telling stories, and hearing stories from my friends. We all have such unique perspectives on this thing called "Life", and my ultimate goal is to talk to and learn from as many of those perspectives as possible, so that I can broaden my own perspective and offer it to others. here are a few of my favorite things Directors: Wes Anderson - composing every shot to be a perfect piece of art Quentin Tarantino - a true movie buff who makes perfect movies in his mind and then shares them with us Christopher Nolan - takes the things we know and love and makes them even more awesome Music: *deep breath* Band of Horses, Bjork, BLonde Redhead, Bon Iver, Breathe Owl Breathe,, bright Eyes, Broken Bells, Built to Spill, Chemical Brothers, Childish Gambino, Chris Cornell, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Coheed and Cambria, (some) Coldplay, CCR, Daft Punk, Damien Rice, Dashboard Confessional, Bowie, Death Cab, Dire Straits, Dirty Projectors, Elliott Smith, enon, Feist, Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes, FOO FIGHTERS, Four Tet, Frank Fairfield, Girl Talk, Gorillaz, Gotye, Grizzly Bear, Imogen Heap, INCUBUS, Interpol, Iron & Wine, Jimmy Eat World, JOANNA NEWSOM, Johnny Cash, Jonsi, Journey, Kimbra, Kings of Leon, the ZEP, Modest Mouse, Mumford and Sons, MMJ, the National, Neutral Milk Hotel, NIN, Peter Bjorn and John, Phoenix, Queens of the Stone Age, RADIOHEAD, Ratatat, Scrillex, Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens, Talking Heads, Tegan and Sara, The August List, The Civil Wars, The Mars Volta, THE SHINS, The Weepies, The XX, Thom Yorke, Tori Amos, Wilco, Wolfmother TOOL Books: This is tough, because I'll read just about anything. I read all the time. I guess my favorite genres would be Sci-fi/fantasy, simply because I like combining the two into Science Fantasy, where I imagine what the future is going to be when we all ride horses during the day and fly space-ships at night. *AHEM...Firefly* TV Dexter, Breaking Bad, Mad-Men, Game of Thrones, Top Gear, Wheeler Dealers, How it's Made, and various other random History channel reality TV shows (guilty pleasure). I love being creative. I am an artist at heart, and will always default to doodling and drawing when bored. Luckily I'm also very technical, and therefore end up applying my creativity towards technical matters. It's the balance between the two halves of my brain that makes me the happiest!

Some other viewpoint
I either stay close to home and hit up The Wood or maybe Pitfire Pizza, bike to the beach and have a few at the Whaler for the sunset, or cab it into downtown Culver City to sing at Backstage or go to Public School.

I love the smell of a new book, waking up without an alarm going off, finding new music, trying different beers, and seeing hummingbirds on my morning walk with Archie.
My current favorite things to do in my free time are walking my dog and driving my new car. I typically spend my time fulfilling whichever fancy strikes me at the time!
um...I'm constantly reading, so instead of constantly updating this spot I'll discuss my most important book I've read in the last 10 years: I recently read "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" ...which I did!

Following Europe's dangerous path.
Click here to listen to the broadcast of You Tell Me on KTBB AM 600, Friday, January 13, 2012.
As we discussed in this space, President Obama appeared before cameras at the Pentagon last week to lay out a proposal to dramatically reduce defense spending. Under the plan tens of thousands of uniformed personnel will be cut from the rolls and the military's ability to prosecute two ground wars simultaneously will be eliminated.
In a sudden burst of fiscal responsibility, the president said that such reductions are necessary in light of soaring deficits (as the president for once characterized the federal budget).
In my earlier post on this subject, I put forth the question, "Why defense, why now and why no similar concern regarding other cabinet-level departments?"
Valid as those questions are, much else on this topic remains unexplored.
For example, one has to believe that our allies, our enemies and those that stand forever shifting in between are taking notice.
Our allies take notice out of fear that the U.S. can't be counted on to come through if the fertilizer hits the fan at some inconvenient time at some inconvenient place in the world.
Our enemies take notice out of the axiom that wars start when bad actors come to believe that the cost of aggression is cheap.
Those irresolutely in the middle take notice and perhaps come to decide that aligning with the United States might not be a safe bet. Perhaps China or Russia might prove to be a more useful and reliable ally.
But aside from discussing these strategic issues attendant to the president's proposal there is a philosophical discussion to be had as well.
Self-reliance lies at the heart of conservative belief. Conservatives believe that individual responsibility for the conduct of one's life and for one's personal welfare is the ultimate expression of freedom. Liberals, on the other hand, believe in a statist model, one in which economic output is collectivized, centralized and dispersed, ostensibly for the benefit of everyone.
That the statist model has ultimately collapsed every time it has been tried, as it is now doing in Europe, does not deter those that advance the statist argument.
Self-reliance also means possessing and maintaining the ability to defend one's self, something of which Europe is now utterly incapable.
Europeans have essentially had a pass on self defense since World War II, relying on the United States to keep the neighborhood safe. But rather than employing the savings attendant to not maintaining a capable military toward keeping taxes low and avoiding ruinous debt, European countries have taxed everything that comes into view, dramatically expanded the entitlement state while financing the whole thing by hocking the silverware.
As a result, taken all together, Europe is not only defenseless, it's now broke.
History has been unkind to nations and empires that failed the test of self-reliance embodied in the capacity to defend one's self. History has also shown that self-reliance and prosperity are as inextricably linked as are dependence and poverty.
Europe's experience strongly suggests that savings derived from cutting defense spending in the U.S. will not be used to reduce deficits and pay down debt. The money will be used to prop up an unsustainable entitlement state.
One might argue that such is exactly Obama's motivation in making the proposal.
With Europe's impotence and financial woes now on full display, only the blind and the delusional can fail to see the dangerous parallels for America.
Your warning of the European history of impotence and the dangerous parallels for America is frightening. However, the Marxist/Socialist/Statist ideology trumps all logic as in Obama's plans for the "transformation" of America (as you have stated):
"The money will be used to prop up an unsustainable entitlement state……One might argue that such is exactly Obama's motivation in making the proposal." — P. Gleiser
If a President of the USA, the most powerful force for liberty in the World, successfully abandons the Foundational Unalienable Rights (as defined by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that he has sworn to uphold) then, we are left with a rudderless society that is ultimately beholden to a President for its future. In that role he would enjoy the dictatorial power of determining the fate of citizens who are willing to trust in his benevolence and in the execution of his Social Justice dogma.
That is what is so hideous about the false promise of the Social Justice (Marxist) dogma that has infiltrated our country since 1913, starting with the Progressive Movement, 99 years ago. It has converted nearly half of our society to this belief system, to date.
This pairing of President (benefactor) and citizen (beneficiary) becomes a self-promoting love affair until it collapses, of course. In the meantime, the President and the dependent society feed on each other's needs to the ultimate benefit of the last man standing: an all powerful President and his Party. What better way to achieve his "transformation" of our society and overcome the "unfairness" that has plagued our "selfish" past.
If this occurs, I believe we will enter a new era, "The Dark Ages II," where corruption, bribery, thuggery and political favoritism will rule the day. Frankly, the Obama Administration is already acting this way, now, and getting away with it. The next election in November may be our last chance to stop this juggernaut.
C.M. Solomon, you are indeed a wise person who has correctly portrayed exactly what happens when history is ignored. We are, indeed, on the edge of a dark age II if we do not turn this Nation back around. The corruption, bribery, thuggery and deception is already here, in this administration which is steamrolling over the wants of the people. We have seen it from day one of the obama administration. As clinton before him, obama has chosen to demoralize the military…the one thing we need to strengthen, not weaken. One thing comes to mind, Nero fiddled while Rome burned. obama is fiddling while the US is on the verge of collapse. I have always learned more by watching how people do things…my mother insisted I had been having someone teach me the first time she let me behind the wheel of her car. It was simply a matter of watching her drive over the years…just a matter of observation. It mystifies me that people can see what is going on in Europe, yet they can not comprehend the magnitude of the situation or the cause! Is it because they are too stupid or is it because of the deception that has been going on by those we elect to do our biding? I wrote to the paper before obama was even nominated that the "change" obama speaks of might not be the change we expect or want it to be. Also, I said that obama was a wolf in sheeps clothing. In both cases, I have been correct. We have seen how obama has used thuggery and bribery to get his policies enacted. Everything obama has done since he was put into office has been destructive and it has been deliberate. One by one he has been driving more nails in the coffin of the USA…downsizing and demoralizing the military is just another one of those nails. Perhaps people should do less listening to the media and do more observing to what is actually going on! Nero fiddled while Rome burned…obama is up there fiddling while watching America go down the tubes!

View Where People Drink In London in a larger map
Certain London pubs attract certain types of people. Some of these associations are obvious — bankers frequent the bars round Bank, insurers huddle down the road in the drinking holes near Lloyds, Soho and Fitzrovia's pubs are full of media types.
Some are not so obvious. Where do science fiction fans congregate? Which pub is noted for its congregation of ukelele players? Where are you most likely to find a gathering of London's tallest people, or those with handlebar moustaches?
We asked our Facebook friends for examples, and have plotted the answers on the Google map above. But this is just a starting point…
Please let us know any pubs or bars which attract the following clientele:
- Special interest groups and meetups
- Certain types of profession
- Lots of workers from a particular company or organisation
- Particular nationalities (we've left Walkabouts off the map because, well…we just can't be arsed with that one)
- Fans of particular sports teams, or music genres.
- Any other tribe, group or type who regularly frequent a particular pub.
Either add a comment below, or put your suggestion on our Facebook page, and we'll update the map as we go along. So, who uses your local?

Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre
The Pioneer Press and Star Tribune featured the exact same story from AP writer Matt Apuzzo. The Pioneer Press posted it online at 1:40 am, and the Star Tribune posted it most recently at 4:43 this afternoon.
The story is appropriately long, having been written well after the attacks, it is filled with not only a description of the events that unfolded the day of the shooting, but also background on the shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old English senior. The story also provided quotes with reactions from students, instructers, the University president, and police officers.
The coverage of this story is mostly predictable because it is a predictable scenario: Of course the gunman was distrubed. Of course there were signs and missed opportunities for intervention.
It is interesting to compare national coverage to the local media at the university. The Collegiate Times is the Virginia Tech student newspaper. In an article posted yesterday afternoon on the paper's Web site, written by Saira Haider and Kevin Anderson, details such as the place where news conferences were held, the floor of the dorm that the shootings occured on, and a more detailed account of the attack from a student witness.
One feature of the school paper's article I thought was helpful in understanding this story was a timeline of events, including the two-hour gap between the first shooting and notification to the campus community.
I don't know exactly how the logistics works for newspapers using AP stories, but I think a good idea would be to consult more local sources for information when national news occurs. The AP reporter might not be from the area the event(s) occured in, so a credible source that is closer to the community may be very helpful in understanding the story and humanizing it.

Update: The 4.45 firmware update has been taken down from the site. Sony Computer Entertainment is currently fixing the problem. Users are advised not to update their PS3s until further notice.
Problems are arising with Sony's latest update to the PS3, according to comments on the official PlayStation forum .
Several user comments on the PlayStation forum have stated that the latest 4.45 update is causing a lockdown on their consoles. User JadeTreeInWind, for example, said that after the PS3 logo was on display post update, the crossbar menu would not show up. The user tried restarting the console, but the same problem still persisted.
Reports on the thread stated that PS3s over 500GB were affected by the error. One of the main features of the new update is to allow users to disable trophy notifications during gameplay.
GameSpot has reached out to Sony for comment and will update this article as more information surfaces.

Chuck Freedman, director platform strategy at Mashery speaks at today's API University in New York City.
Before APIs— the shorthand for application programming interface—the only way a company could access another company's data was by actually going to the company and getting behind the scenes access. Now APIs have become so crucial to the startup world, that there's a conference for them.
Today, API University held at the opening of the Business of APIs conference in New York City, hosted some 300 tech execs from startups around the world for a crash course in API management and strategy to help them better leverage their company's data.
"Companies open up APIs to expose their data, or their content or their services outside the walls of their organization," said Chuck Freedman, director of platform strategy for Mashery, the San Francisco-based API tech provider, and host of the event.
"With APIs," he added in an interview with Upstart Business Journal, "you can start to engage partners so they can use your data in their own software, their own applications, reflecting your brand." Some companies offer this partnership for free, recognizing the value of the partnership as equal to or greater than the value of the data whereas other companies only "open up the valve" after charging a fee, and then charge more based on how much data is needed.
It's important to remember when dealing with APIs that the word data is plural, and as such, different data can be branded differently. Freedman said startups should analyze their data and figure out how it can be broken down for different audiences. Check out Sports Data's developer page to see how it breaks down its data and brands it for different sports leagues. Or try Aetna's Carepass developer page, which has literally created a gallery to sell tiered access to it's uniquely branded data.
Successfully branded APIs can be a great way to make a big splash in your industry, said Freedman. So he recommends timing the release of the API to major industry-related conferences, hackathons or other events where your competitors—and potential partners—are looking directly at your company.
"At these events you have developers from startups or big companies that have freed themselves up to creatively working with your content in the context of what their company does," he said.
And by doing this startups can "hire" partners that work to spread their brand for free, or in some cases, will actually pay to be your brand evangelist simply by marketing their own brand.
One of the most interesting side-effects of opening an API to the public is increased industry influence.
"Because you're creating a relationship with more partners your relationships grow. And if you have more relationships, you become more influential, more valuable to the industry as a whole," said Freedman.
API University was the introductory course to the larger Business of APIs Conference taking place in San Francisco, New York, and London, which itself is part of a weeklong Social Week which started yesterday and continues through Friday.
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals.

He is also the cofounder of Literary Manhattan, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Manhattan's literary community and creating new ways to appreciate literature.

- maybe a bit more chuckable from side to side
When I ran my mild 980 against an 860 in a similar chassis there was not a lot in it.
The 980 was easier across the paddock in slow going .
Once the revs were up to low 3000s there didn't seem to be much performance difference
The 980 was stronger 5000 - 6500 but the 860 carried what power it had further into the rev band past 7200.
Peak power was probably similar in the low 70s and the 980 clearly had more area under the curve.
Lots of vibration from the 860.
For a dirt race bike is probably a very good choice.
AW certainly seemed to get some pretty credible performance out of the one he rode.
Did you miss the grunt of the 980 under race conditions?
My bike is slow but the earth is patient.

I've had a static website for quite some time. I'm thinking of incorporating my static website into my blog and using the blog to administer everything. Would make maintenance much easier!
However, there are numerous inbound links to my site to these static pages. I don't want to lose those visitors.
So would using 301 redirects through htaccess be the solution? What's the best practice when using this method?
Thank you!
Hello Jacorre,
You are correct in using a 301 redirect with your htaccess file. It is the proper way to tell search engines (like Google) that you website has moved permanently(different redirect codes), and will keep any SEO you've built up over the years.
An extra step to take to help keep users coming to your pages, and to keep any search engine standings for particular pages you might have, is to redirect any old pages to new pages with the same, or updated content.
Basically if you had a page on the Dinosaur T-Rex, and then you 301 redirect that page to your new home page that isn't specifically about the T-Rex, that link will drop in position.
So consider 301 redirecting every individual page for the best results.
Hope that helps!

I have first hand experience with the frustration of the waffle on a brand new framing hammer wearing smooth long before the rest of the hammer wears out. As anyone who swings a hammer for a living knows, that grooved surface makes all the difference in driving nails. That same surface, though, damages finished products, and can make mincemeat out of fingers or thumbs that get in the way every now and then.
For over a decade and a half, I dealt with the aggravation of using a hammer that just did not hold up under every day use. Worse yet, when titanium hammers became available, the problem was all the more troublesome because the cost of those hammers was so much greater, while the traction lasted only a fraction of the time that a steel waffle did, which was only a few months at best. It was then that my brother had an idea: place a hardened steel disc with the waffle formed in it into a cavity bored in the face of the hammer, recessed slightly from the smooth outer rim. This protected the waffle from ever coming into contact with anything but the nail being driven, no matter what material the nail was being driven into. At the same time, it also protects fingers from those merciless sharp points on a brand new waffle. His idea worked.
The result was the best framing hammer either of us had ever seen. Now the waffled face lasts longer than the rest of the hammer, and we no longer have to switch to a smoothed face hammer for finish work. We wore out three hickory handles over the course of 18 months, and the first hammer we made still looks like it has only been used for a few weeks. The level of abuse this hammer received and survived was astounding. We quickly saw that we needed to get this hammer out there, so we patented it and decided to start a company dedicated to making a hammer that outperforms all others.
After all, pro carpenters work hard; shouldn't our #1 tool be able to keep up? Finally, there's one that can. As my brother said after a hard day's framing "This hammer is HARDCORE! And it has one, too..."

CHICAGO — President Obama's political advisers have long been preparing for a general-election contest against Republican Mitt Romney. What they have seen of the former Massachusetts governor in the past 30 days makes them think he will enter a fall campaign, if he survives a turbulent nomination battle, significantly weakened by self-inflicted wounds and a major strategic mistake.
That assessment in no way changes the view from the sixth floor of the Prudential Building here that the president faces major challenges in his bid for a second term. Continuing economic uncertainties, general unrest among the electorate, frustration with the pace of the recovery and the reluctance of independent voters to embrace the president constitute the stiff head winds that Obama and his team are facing.

DEA: Chargers' MD wrote 108 prescriptions to self
Padres' drug orders also face scrutiny
Federal drug enforcement agents searched the offices of Chargers team doctor David Chao two weeks ago because they learned he apparently had written at least 108 drug prescriptions to himself since June 10, 2008, which would violate controlled-substance regulations, according to recently unsealed search warrant affidavits.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Amy Roderick said that "based on what we have reviewed, we have no reason to believe that he was using the medication himself."
The DEA also searched the offices of Padres doctors because of similar prescription-writing irregularities. Documents were seized at pharmacies where Chao and another Chargers doctor, Calvin Wong, had the prescriptions filled, and at the La Jolla office of Padres doctor Gaston Molina.
The DEA declined to say which drugs were prescribed.
"The data and the information retrieved during the warrants are being processed and reviewed," Roderick said. "The investigation is considered ongoing."
Chao's attorney, Jim Godes, said he doesn't think criminal action is likely against his client. A spokesman for the Padres doctors said they "are cooperating fully with the DEA in this investigation and have prescribed all medications for appropriate medical reasons."
The Chargers and Padres declined to comment Wednesday.
The DEA searched the offices of the two teams' doctors June 29 after serving 10 administrative inspection warrants. The DEA asked a magistrate judge to grant the warrants after finding irregularities in how some team doctors issued prescriptions.
Padres team doctor Harry Albers apparently wrote six prescriptions to himself, according to an affidavit. Molina wrote six prescriptions for fellow Padres doctor Robert Kakehashi, which made the prescriptions "suspicious," an affidavit said.
Doctors who write prescriptions to themselves sometimes do it to fill office supplies, even though it is illegal, said Glen Crick, a Chicago attorney who has represented medical practitioners.
"It happens, but it is a violation," said Crick, who is not involved in the case. "If they were not self-medicating, it would be unusual if there would be any criminal charges. If somebody did it 108 times, I'm surprised the DEA didn't realize it before. Generally, a local pharmacist will see the prescriptions and say this is wrong."
If the DEA finds violations, Crick said an outcome of the case could be that the doctors will have to make a case to the government about why they should be allowed to continue dispensing prescription drugs.
"A DEA registration (to dispense controlled substances) is not a right," Crick said. "It's a privilege granted by the federal government."
The case's origins can be traced to the May arrest of former Chargers safety Kevin Ellison, who had been charged with illegally possessing 100 Vicodin painkiller pills when he was stopped for speeding in Redondo Beach. The Chargers have said the Vicodin was not provided by the team or its doctors.
"Based on this arrest and other recent media coverage of another NFL team (the New Orleans Saints) dealing with suspected controlled substance violations," the DEA's San Diego office conducted a review of prescription drug records through its automated records system and the state controlled-substance monitoring program, according to an affidavit by DEA investigator Brenda Catano.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Margus Hunt is still grasping the nuances of American football. Learning adjustments, identifying offensive sets, understanding proper angles and attacking specific pass rush depths top the curriculum.
He must soak up those concepts all while identifying the desired tempo and pad level of the coaching staff. "It's a new system, I'm trying to get used to it," said Hunt, who ran a 4.6 40-yard dash at 6-foot-8, 277 pounds at the NFL Combine. "I only knew one sort of defense the past four years my entire football career. I'm trying to get a hold of it."
He's primarily been running with the second team in practice. Hunt receives tips from Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap among others on the field and in meeting rooms while spending extra time in the playbook every night.

text: The HyperScan wiki last edited by Apparatus_Unearth on 02/09/14 07:54AM View full history OverviewThe Mattel HyperScan is Mattel's only entry into the video game market besides the Intellivision. It is the first and only console to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The console reads UDF-format CDs that contain a proprietary executable file with the game file. The idea of the HyperScan was to combine card collecting with video gaming and target an audience of younger children who are not ready for mainstream consoles. When scanned, cards will activate characters or power them up for the game currently being played. Only five games were released for the HyperScan out of seven announced, and the system was discontinued by Mattel in 2008.HardwareThe HyperScan's main feature is an RFID scanner that reads cards and writes data back to them. It retailed for $69.99, with extra controllers for $19.99. The system has a 4x CD-ROM drive and only supports composite video. The 162MHz Sunplus nMedia processor is not very powerful, and the console only has a 2D graphics engine, so none of the five games released have any 3D graphics. The graphics are frowned upon for being excessively choppy and sluggish, and the load times off of the CD-Rom drive are upwards of 20 seconds in games. The system supports up to two players. Each controller is a simple faux analog stick with 4 buttons which is not ergonomically designed at all. The video in the games is compressed using MPEG4, and the audio using MP3. Each character has only one line of low-quality spoken dialogue.Technical SpecificationsCPU - SCore (162 MHz Sunplus mMedia 32-bit RISC processor)Video - Composite, 2D graphic engine, 640x480 resolution, MPEG4 codecAudio - MP3 codec, 24 PCM sound channelsMemory - 16 MB SDRAMODD - 4x CD-Rom drive IO - 1x USB 1.1 port, RFID ScannerRFID Scanner - 13.56 MHzRFID Storage - 110 bytes (96 bytes of user memory 8 bytes unique ID 6 bytes of one time programmable memory)SoftwareThe HyperScan had seven titles planned but only five were ever released. Games were mostly 2d fighters and platformers. An X-Men 2d fighting game is included with the console and other licensed games available with characters from Marvel Heroes and Ben 10. Each game requires cards to work, which much be purchased separately for $14.99 per booster pack of 6 cards. Games retailed for $24.99 and included the game disc, a manual, and a booster pack. Avatar: The Last Airbender and Nickelodeon Sports were planned for the HyperScan, but never released.

- This wonderful hat as to be shipped full open Review by Eliza C
Price Value Quality
I love this hat. Very practical. I was replacing my original one that I left on an airplane. I have been very disappointed with this hat as it came folded into quarters for shipping and maybe storage and even with the advice of Kavu (who do not ship their hats folded) I have been unable to get rid of the folds. I recommend buying this wonderful hat from a company that ships it fully open.

David Brooks, in his online conversation with Gail Collins, observes of the upcoming rally by Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart:
By the way, I'm totally confused about what the political impact of Stewart-stock and Colbert-palooza will be. On the one hand, watching their shows I get the impression they are generally mainstream liberals. On the other hand I do think their shows are unintentionally conservative. Just as the show "60 Minutes" sends the collective message that political institutions are corrupt, so the Comedy Central shows send the message that politicians are buffoons. Both messages undermine faith in political action and public sector endeavor and so cut right against the intentions of their founders.
But normally their audiences are self-selected, largely liberal viewers who enjoy the collective experience of mocking conservatives. So they don't really do damage to their "cause." Their goal is more cultural than political: to reaffirm that they are cooler, smarter, and more clever than those dim-witted right-wingers.
How that comes off to the "public" — that is, a larger audience that is not in on the joke but rather the butt of the joke — is what has so many liberals nervous. The title of the event — the Rally to Restore Sanity — tells it all. Like Obama (but funnier), Colbert and Stewart are quite certain that Americans, after demonstrating sheer brilliance in 2008, are suffering from some mental affliction. If the comedians really wanted to restore sanity, they'd start with those on the left who are convinced that foreign money, Karl Rove, and Fox News are to blame for their party's woes. But I don't see that happening.

Video: Eva Longoria confronts her 'H8R'Add to Favorites | H8R
This Wednesday (Sept. 21), Eva Longoria surprises one of her critics on The CW's new show, "H8R."
Somehow, Mario Lopez and his camera crew manage to capture some dude talking trash about Longoria and -- surprise surprise -- she just happens to be waiting in the wings.
"I wanted to confront you because I feel like you were hating on me without knowing me," says Longoria to her surprised critic. The guy had been deep in a discussion in which he accused Longoria of not being a true Latina (too skinny apparently) and racist, to boot.
Watch the clip above, then catch the whole show Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

5 Ways to Lose Visitors
August 31, 2011 at 3:34 am 2 comments
We all have a mental list of things that bother us about websites; things that send us scrambling to another site. The web is huge, competition is fierce and the best thing a webmaster can do is to adhere to the KISS principle. (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID). Users of the Intuit-Homestead SiteBuilder program to design sites need an awareness of what does and doesn't work on the web.
Here is my list of 5 things that send me clicking out of a site as fast as I can:
- Websites that have entry pages. You know the kind I mean … A splashy landing page that has no info and may or may not have an obvious place to click on to enter. These webmasters have forgotten rule #1 – KISS because your competition is only a click away. Give the visitor what they are looking for immediately when they land on your site. Entry pages aren't on good terms with Search Engines and search engine optimization so that is another consideration if you find yourself tempted.
- Ok so how much does it cost? E commerce sites that don't have the cost of the product WITH the product are no doubt losing paying customers. I see sites all the time that show a product, but you have to click a link or an image to go to another page that shows the price. Remember we're still in KISS mode here. The more complicated you make the process the less apt you are to sell the product or service.
- Those dang scrolling images in headers. Seriously? Do you really think a visitor is going to sit there staring at the screen watching that? Not only does it add weight to the page, but it's a distraction. A nice static image can convey the idea, not annoy the visitor and doesn't add a great deal to the load time of a page. Your visitor came to your site with a purpose and generally people on the web are pretty focused on what they want. Toss in a scrolling anything and you break their focus.
- The 'talking heads'… talk about distraction!! Very few of those are done well and none of them, in my opinion, add anything of value to a site. I was on a law site the other day and the 'head' was actually a full figure of the attorney yapping away. Annoying, but it got worse … as you scrolled down the page the attorney followed along still yapping. When I hit a site that has one of these 'yappers' I'm out of there in a heartbeat.
- Large websites that don't offer either a Site Map page or internal search function or both. It's so easy to get lost in the labyrinth of a large site and who wants to spend a lot of time ferreting out information.
What's on your list?

it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending the time to discuss this matter here on your internet site.

Lissie sat down recently with the fine folks at Daytrotter. She recorded 4 songs including 1 unreleased track: Listen to the session right now at www.daytrotter.com
"Lissie's a woman who has finally found her calling and her voice, putting out one of the most sensational records of last year - whether we were rooting for her or not. It's a short five-song EP that sounds like the reminisces of a 100-year-old woman who has lived in plains country her entire life, watching the railroad tracks being laid, the tornados squaring off with the wood barns and windmills and making cherry pies with hardened hands. It sounds as if a life well-lived is being looked back on with the eyes of the young woman decades earlier."

CHURUBUSCO — Turtle Days' president was on hand at the latest Churubusco Town Council meeting. His intention — to extend an olive branch.
For those relationships to be mended, one issue of importance that had to be discussed was finances surrounding the annual festival.
In regards to paying for town utilities and resources used during Turtle Days, Barkley emphasized he held a different perspective than previous Turtle Day board members.
Editor's note: The following is the third of a four-part series on Columbia City's football team.
COLUMBIA CITY — Rain was falling that October Friday night. The Max Gandy Athletic Field was soft and slick.
With conditions like those, the game was bound to be a low-scoring affair dominated by defense.
If someone could bust off one big play, that might have been all it would have taken to win the first sectional game.
Someone did.
Columbia CIty's wrestling team raised $730 for Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. Head coach Blane Culp presented the check to Linda Bewley of Cancer Services after Wednesday night's match against Garrett.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's wrestling team suffered a disappointing loss on senior night to Garrett Wednesday, 37-33.
The Eagles went into the final match with a one-point, 34-33 deficit. Despite 152-pound Riley Harter's best effort, he lost 10-3 to Garrett's Sam Lawrence.
Although it was one of the final matches of the season, it was Harter's first time on the mat as a varsity grappler.
Columbia City head coach Blane Culp commended the efforts of Noah Ray and Michael Wright. Wright won a close match in the 126-pound weight class.
COLUMBIA CITY — With high school wrestling's regular season meets drawing to a close this week, all teams, including the three Whitley County squads (Columbia City, Churubusco and Whitko) are all preparing for their "second season" of conference tournaments and the month-long Indiana High School Athletic Association Individual State Tournament series.
All three Whitley County teams will be traveling this Saturday for their conference tournaments. Each enters the tournament with differing, yet similar, goals.
KENDALLVILLE — Indian Springs Middle School's 8th-grade Lady Eagles (12-2) traveled to East Noble Monday night and won a hard-fought battle by the score of 50-45.
Three players scored in double figures for the Lady Eagles, with Holly Martinez leading the charge with 15 points. Miranda McConnell had 11 points and Darian Farber added 10, with six points coming in the final quarter. Chelsea Pettigrew contributed eight points inside and Morgan Bales had four — including two key free throws in the fourth quarter.

Editor's note: The following is the second of a four-part series on Columbia City's football team.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whatever plans the Eagles made for 2012 — Columbia City was brought down to Earth in a season-opening loss at the hands of its neighbors to the west, the Warsaw Tigers.
The Eagles fell by a score of 20-14 in a game where their defense gave up 323 rushing yards.
"I was disappointed by how we came out in that first game," said head coach Randy Hudgins. "But, that game got us much more focused.
COLUMBIA CITY — Former Whitko head coach Rob Irwin tried out his third team against Eagle head coach Chris Benedict Tuesday at Columbia City Tuesday. After taking on the Eagles with Carroll, Whitko and now Huntington North, Irwin fell just short of his first win against Benedict since 2001.
Irwin's only two wins over Columbia City as Whitko's play-caller came in 2008 and 2009, when Benedict was coaching at Valparaiso.
Though Irwin was hoping for the win, he holds no animosity against Benedict.

To whale or not to whale?: nations, environmental groups do some soul-searchingAnalysis by: Jeremy Hance
June 22, 2010
The other way forward is a complex agreement supported by the United States that would for all intents and purposes end the whaling ban for a period of time, legitimizing the actions of Japan, Norway, and Iceland. However, this agreement would put the whaling activities of these three nations again under the power of the IWC, allowing the regulatory body to progressively lower quotas. A move that some say will cut the number of whales killed every year by half.
So, the argument hinges on whether governments legitimize whale-hunting but cut down the number killed, or say 'no' to whaling but essentially change nothing regarding the situation on the high seas where thousands of whales, including endangered species, perish every year on the end of a harpoon.
On the menu: minke whale kebabs served up in Iceland.
For example, Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Pew Environmental Group have stated they will accept 'interim quotas' (i.e. a limited allowance of whaling over the next decade), if the agreement bans the hunting of endangered species, puts the South Ocean off-limits to whalers, ends the trade in whale meat, and forces Iceland, Norway and Japan to give up the current quotas they award themselves.
This deal would essentially give conservationists everything they want, except of course a total end to whaling. For Japan, Iceland, and Norway it gives them a window of a decade (at least) to continue whaling, but saves them from another ten years of international rancor, since the whaling would be sanctioned by the IWC.
Such a move is surprising for Greenpeace, a large and effective organization that cut its teeth on the whaling issue, since they have long fought any commercial whaling. Facing possible backlash, Greenpeace says their final goal remains the same: to end commercial whaling entirely, only they are willing to allow it for another decade in order to move closer to that goal. Of course,

"The IWC must not undermine the conservation achievements of the last few decades by again endorsing commercial whaling," the petition read according to the AFP. "There is no evidence that any of the few populations and species known to be increasing have reached, or are anywhere near, the levels that might justify non-zero catch limits."
These scientists are joined by Australia, looked on by many as the most anti-whaling nation in the world. Of course, at this point the environmental groups' deal is not on the table, so if a deal is struck it could still very well include the hunting of endangered whales and the continued trade in whale products.
While the way forward would prove much less complicated if Japan, Norway, and Iceland simply gave up whaling altogether, this is unlikely to happen any time soon. Given the situation, anti-whaling governments and conservation groups must decide what's more important: standing tough (but toothless) on whaling or compromising to reign in the rogue actions of Japan, Iceland, and Norway.

Region to lose inexpensive, no-frills health coverage
Small regional employers learned Wednesday their workers will lose affordable healthcare coverage provided by a plan that specifically targeted lower-budget firms.
HealthShare, created in 2008, told member companies their coverage will cease on Dec. 31. An internal analysis determined participants will be able to find affordable options through MNsure, Minnesota's health insurance exchange, HealthShare Director Jenny Peterson wrote in a Sept. 3 letter. A significant outflow of customers to MNsure would "negatively impact HealthShare's financial viability," she said.
Peterson also noted that HealthShare doesn't meet criteria required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which often is called "Obamacare." Provisions of the ACA will force anyone not enrolled in a qualified healthcare plan to pay a penalty in coming years.
"So even if a person had HealthShare coverage, he or she would still have to pay the penalty next year," Peterson wrote.
Although Peterson could not immediately be reached for comment, it appears the decision was made in recent weeks. In August, members of the plan were mailed re-enrollment packets that didn't mention the program might close.
Approximately 240 companies participate in the HealthShare program, according to the provider's web page. Most are relatively small, including such businesses as daycare providers, autobody shops, family construction firms, property managers, community publications and nonprofits. (Full disclosure: BusinessNorth is a HealthShare customer.)
The decision to cease operations represents a change in philosophy for Peterson. In a September 2011 interview with BusinessNorth, she said, "The jury's still out on whether exchanges will lower costs. We still think there will be a place for HealthShare." Numerous provisions of the Act, however, have been developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the two years since her original prediction, and some are still evolving.
HealthShare was created by Generations Health Care Initiative, which was funded by a $12.8 million trust fund created when the St. Mary's/Duluth Clinic (SMDC) Health System acquired Miller-Dwan Medical Center. The goal for Generations was to continue the hospital's mission of indigent care that began in 1917.
Coverage through HealthShare has been available to companies in St. Louis, Carlton, Lake and Cook counties that employed from 1-50 persons. The median wage of employees at the time of enrollment could not exceed a median of $19.33 per hour.
The program's coverage differed somewhat from traditional insurance. It was billed as having limited frills, and medical care was only provided within HealthShare's geographical coverage area.
According to the Affordable Care Act, companies employing fewer than 50 persons aren't required to offer healthcare coverage. Peterson, however, said small firms may qualify for tax credits if they provide alternative healthcare coverage to their employees.
But tax credits are of limited value to micro-size companies, said Bob Boone, owner of the Duluth-based Reader, a weekly regional publication.
"HealthShare was created for a very valid purpose and so far it has worked remarkably well," said Boone, a HealthShare customer who fears similar coverage won't be available once the ACA fully takes effect.
Companies enrolled in HealthShare pay a minimum of $68 per worker. The employee portion of the premium is no more than $99 per month. Boone anticipates policies offered through MNsure will cost many multiples of that rate and, unlike HealthShare, will require high deductibles. That could prompt some small companies to stop offering coverage or force them to provide much more expensive plans. Either alternative would make it much more difficult for small firms to attract good employees, he said.
Several executives at regional hospitals agree with Boone's assessment. In recent interviews, they also have told BusinessNorth that both premiums and deductibles are likely to climb, leaving many people with insurance that only covers catastrophic health problems. An Associated Press analysis released Wednesday evening said rates will range from $270 to $615 per month, depending upon age, for a mid-range policy.
Employers were to first to learn HealthShare will be discontinued. Employees are to receive a letter "within a few days," Peterson wrote.
"We trust that this notification will provide you and your employees adequate time to explore options for health coverage," the letter said.

IT SEEMS obvious: with stocks of salmon and cod plummeting, why not top up endangered populations with fish bred in captivity? "People feel that if you add some fish, it must be doing some good," says Andy Ferguson at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Not so, according to a 10-year study by Ferguson and his colleagues that followed salmon released from captivity into the wild over three generations. The results of the investigation suggest that deliberate and accidental releases of fish from farms could send wild populations into terminal decline.
The team released more than 120,000 salmon eggs into the Burrishoole river system in the west of the Republic of Ireland. They compared the survival and competitive abilities of wild fish with farm-bred individuals and hybrids. Unsurprisingly, farmed salmon, with their poor genetic heritage, were much less successful and their life expectancy was far lower than that of the wild ...

New rules go into effect Monday that allow startups to advertise the fact that they're raising money. iQoncept / Shutterstock.com
The UpTake: On Monday, for the first time in 80 years, startups will be able to advertise that they're raising money. That's a big deal and here's why.
Monday's a really, really big day.
No, we don't get a long weekend. Instead, Monday is the day the Securities and Exchange Commission puts in place its final rules under last year's JOBS Act allowing startups, hedge funds and venture capitalists to advertise that they're raising money.
"This is in my opinion is the biggest securities law change in the last 80 years," Vince Molinari, chief executive of impact investing platform Gate Global Impact, tells me.
That's pretty big, all right. But what does it really mean? Well, here are four reasons to pay close attention to the final rules the SEC will implement Monday:
1. The rules are expected to open the way for small- and mid-sized companies to advertise that they are raising money. That's a big deal. Since the Great Depression, companies have been under orders to raise money by word-of-mouth, limiting the pool of potential investors. With the new rules, a startup could go as far as buying advertising to state it's raising money. "Previously, most of us never had a shot at investing in the rounds of the best companies. The insiders only had that kind of access. That's all about to change," writes WeFunder cofounder Nick Tommarello in a blog post.
2. Startups will be able to leverage the power of the web to raise money, through equity crowdfunding sites like CircleUp, WeFunder and RockThePost, and by reaching out to founders' own social networks to let people know a company is raising money. "It's really harnessing the power and how wonderfully efficient general solicitation can be in a Web 3.0 environment," Molinari said.
3. Even with the new rules, only accredited investors are eligible to put money into startups, and companies are required to take precautions insuring that their investors are indeed wealthy enough to withstand losing all their investments. Some have called this provision of the rules too restrictive. Any expansion of equity crowdfunding to non-accredited investors will have to wait for future SEC action.

In a report released today, the European Council on Foreign Relations said the 27-nation EU must take more responsibility for security in its own neighborhood because the United States has its hands full dealing with Afghanistan, Iran and China and is no longer focused on Europe. The study says the current system failed to prevent wars in Kosovo and Georgia, or disruption to Europe's gas supplies, or to resolve a string of legacy disputes on the fringes of the former Soviet Union.

Captain America's shield as a supercapacitor? Intriguing, oui? Thank you to Matt Shipman and his April 15, 2014 post on The Abstract (North Carolina State University's official newsroom blog, [h/t phys.org]) for presenting a very intriguing exploration of the science to be found in comic books and, now, the movies,
I have a new appreciation for Captain America (never one of my favourite super heroes). From Shipman's April 15, 2014 posting on The Abstract (Note: Links have been removed),
It's tough to explain how the shield works, in part because it behaves differently under different circumstances. Sometimes the shield is thrown and becomes embedded in a wall; but sometimes it bounces off of walls, ricocheting wildly. Sometimes the shield seems to easily absorb tremendous force; but sometimes it is damaged by the attacks of Cap's most powerful foes.
"However, from a scientific perspective, it's important to remember that we're talking about the first law of thermodynamics," says Suveen Mathaudhu, a program manager in the materials science division of the U.S. Army Research Office, adjunct materials science professor at NC State University and hardcore comics fan. "Energy is conserved. It doesn't disappear, it just changes form.
"When enormous energy, such as a blow from Thor's hammer, strikes Cap's shield, that energy needs to go somewhere."
Normally, that energy would need to be either stored or converted into heat or sound. But comic-book readers and moviegoers know that Cap's shield usually doesn't give off waves of heat or roaring shrieks (that shockwave from Thor's hammer in The Avengers film notwithstanding).
"That absence of heat and sound means that the energy has to be absorbed somehow; the atomic bonds in the shield – which is made of vibranium – must be able to store that energy in some form," Mathaudhu says.
Mathaudhu, later in the posting, describes the shield's qualities as a supercapacitor. (For more information about supercapacitors, you can look at my April 9, 2014 posting.)
Shipman's piece appears to be part of a series featuring Wolverine, Iron Man, and Thor, which you can access by scrolling past the end of the Captain America posting (April 15, 2014 post), where you will also find at least one comment, which is worth checking out.

FUTURE colonisers of Mars needn't worry about lugging materials from Earth to build their bases - the most widely used building material on Earth, steel, could be manufactured on the Red Planet.
The rover Opportunity has found elemental iron - a key ingredient of steel - peppered across the Martian surface as a result of collisions with iron-rich meteorites. The dry conditions and lack of atmospheric oxygen mean that the stuff has not rusted, says Geoffrey Landis of NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
On Earth, any natural metallic iron rusts in our wet, oxygenated environment, so we rely on iron oxides such as haematite to make steel. Yet these oxides must be stripped of oxygen molecules in the steel-making process, which requires vast amounts of energy (Acta Astronomica, DOI: 10.1016/j.actaastro.2008.07.011).
