I've just been on the Debate forum and posted a comment about something quite volatile. Basically it was about killers who really brutally murder someone and whether or not they should get the death penalty. If you want, you can read my post on there, it is one of the last posts on about page 24!
I know it's a really emotional topic and my question is more about whether or not we are trying to be too politically correct about a lot of things these days, not just the death penalty but other things that actually end up compromising our belief system or our values and principles.
I know I personally am very un-PC. I don't believe in abortion, I don't believe in gay marriage, I do believe in the death penalty, etc. I do also respect other people's opinions on the above topics, even if they differ vastly from my own. But I sometimes wonder if people feel that if they support something that is un-PC, they will be shunned and what have you, so instead they support things that they 'think' the majority of society would approve of.
Am I making any sense?

Author information
For over twenty-five years, Chris Columbus has written, directed and produced some of the most successful box-office hits, which have established him as a major force in contemporary Hollywood film-making. As a writer, he launched his career with the legendary films Gremlins and The Goonies. Columbus directed and produced the first two films in the blockbuster Harry Potter series and produced the third. More recently, Columbus has directed features such as the hit film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. As a director, Columbus has been at the helm of such films as Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire. Ned Vizzini (1981-2013) began writing for the New York Press at the age of fifteen. At seventeen, he was asked to write a piece for the New York Times Magazine, and at nineteen, he published Teen Angst? Naaah..., his autobiography of his years at Stuyvesant High School. His debut teen novel, Be More Chill, was selected for the Today Show Book Club by Judy Blume. It's Kind of a Funny Story, a cult classic, was adapted into a 2010 film starring Zach Galifianakis and named one of the 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels by National Public Radio. The Other Normals, his third novel, was a Junior Library Guild selection. He was the co-author, with Chris Columbus, of the New York Times bestselling fantasy-adventure series House of Secrets. He wrote for the New Yorker and Salon. He also wrote for television, including MTV's hit show Teen Wolf. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages.
Customer reviews
By Amanda Townsend 16 Mar 2013
House of Secrets is a really fun read, full of adventure, action, mystery, with a little bit of romance and even pop culture references. I enjoyed the book's themes of selfishness vs selflessness and the importance of family and working together. I would definitely recommend to any one who enjoys middle grade/YA and especially books about books. I'm really excited to see what happens next, and will definitely be checking out the other works by the authors!

Great look, but bulky!
Debra from Los Angeles, CA – Verified Buyer
If you have tons of room in your bedroom, then maybe you will not have this problem. I have limited space to work with and needed very specific measurements. My old nightstands measured about 12 inches or so across. This one is practically double so it gets kind of squishy to have one on each side of the bed. However, if you want the matching set, this is the only option and I do love the Paula II series!
OUR SKU # HE4757Paula II 2 Drawer Nightstand is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 2459-5, 2459ED-5

general statements such as 'Nato soldiers are rapists …' are not helpful. If we would bring actual facts (such as the difficult times that female troups have) your statement would be more useful.
Posted by Sazzad Khandakar
Source: AlJazeera
Ramallah, occupied Palestinian territories – A dirty mattress fills up a space barely two metres long and one metre wide. A suffocating stench emanating from the toilet hovers over the windowless room, and a light turned on 24/7 means sleep is a distant dream. This is the infamous Cell 36 in Al Jalameh Prison in Israel. It's one of the cells that many Palestinian children have either heard of or, worse, been inside when placed in solitary confinement.
The children imprisoned here are most often taken from their homes between midnight and 5am. Most don't even see it coming. In one case, in Beit Ummar near Bethlehem, Israeli soldiers detained a Palestinian boy after reportedly taking some of the house's doors off their hinges. Most of the children detained live close to "friction points", areas close to Israeli settlements, roads used by settlers or near the separation wall. And their offence is almost always throwing stones at settlers or troops.
"Mohammad was interrogated for two to three hours every day while sitting on a low seat with his hands tied to the chair."

I wasn't expecting notting fancy, but the room was very small, no proper wi-fi signal, any night lamp or plug next to the bed, any desk, any plug in the toilet, old furniture, uncomfortable bed. I couldn't lock my room, just close the door. I have nothing good to say about this place apart from the really friendly cleaning lady.

Something Whimsical: A perfect baby gift!
by Sara Osburn
posted Sep 28 2011 10:06AM
A LOT of my friends are having babies...so I am always on the lookout for cute/different baby gifts. I was at a craft fair in Dallas over the weekend and just fell in love with 3 Bears Studio. Maybe it is my love for Babar/Elephants (she paints a lot of elephants), and everything whimsical, but I can't get over how stinking cute these original paintings are!
Even better - they are affordable with many options under $40.
You can buy paintings straight off the Etsy Site -

In my last post, I began a series focused on the gender wage gap, and discussed why demonstrating its existence is not always a simple proposition. Most importantly, I argued, it is not enough to simply look at the difference between men's and women's median wages. Not only do these estimates tell us less than we might like (recall those overlapping margins of error), but their analysis also often ends up oversimplifying the conversation by providing only a comparison between all working men to all working women—not, ultimately, the comparison we really want to make.
This is because human capital—the abilities people bring with them into the workplace—and wage structure—the amount we compensate various jobs relative to others—affect how much we can reasonably expect people to be paid, as do some outside factors, such as when and where a worker is hired. In other words, there are plenty of reasons other than gender that could explain why two individuals working full time earn different amounts of money. In order to investigate the extent to which a worker's gender influences his or her wages, we need to make sure we're comparing workers who are similar in as many other ways as possible.

Most awesomely fabulous dog bed ever!
Valerie from Palo Alto, CA – Verified Buyer
My furkid loved this gem of a bed from the moment I took it out of the box. And an added bonus is how adorable it looks. Most dog beds don't look stylish at all, but this one, which I bought in charcoal, is super cute. It actually looks much nicer than the picture.
West Paw Design is the only pet beds I buy!
Susan from Bel Air, MD – Top 1000 Reviewer
We have 7 pets in all, 2 dogs, 5 cats. I've got West Paw Design pet beds all around the house. They are made really well, look GREAT, and my pets LOVE THEM ALL! I love their new hemp line I have this same fabric in their bumper bed and thought my dogs would get a kick out of this style. They do, and so do the cats! Great job West Paw Design!

Wonderful hostel. The owners, Thomas and Abby, were super friendly and helpful: they gave us maps and plenty of tips where we should go in Tainan. They even drove us to the nightmarket and picked us up again when the rain started pouring down! It was more like staying at a friend's house than in a hostel. Everything is spotlessly clean and comfortable, it's closer to a hotel than anything else, but with a very personal approach. Definitely recommended to anyone wanting to visit Tainan.

Carmelle is an outstanding realtor and enjoyable to work with. She understands the market and helped us sell our property in a difficult time for selling homes. She provided comparisons for us to study and helped us in making the final decision. After the sale we felt she had served us well and helped us get the most profit from the sale of the home. She is someone that I would want to work with again.

AboutThis exhibition focuses on two decades of Jenkins' life, a time of intense productivity and reflection. It is the first major retrospective to explore this period and includes rarely seen collages, a little known aspect of the artist's oeuvre that has evolved since the early 50s, together with related watercolours and ink drawings. None of the works shown here have ever been exhibited in the UK, and many have never been seen outside of the artist's studio. The paintings and works on paper brought together for the first time in this exhibition provide a more comprehensive view of this artist's range in various media, reflecting his extraordinary achievements in colour, movement and collage.

Following UCLA's announcement, however, student Alexandra Wallace released a statement apologizing and indicating that she was leaving UCLA for "personal safety reasons," including threats against her and her family. "We are pleased that UCLA will not attempt to punish Alexandra Supreme Court in Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education (1999), Wallace for her constitutionally protected speech. The cure for defining actionable harassment as conduct that is "so severe, 'bad' speech is 'better' speech, and the outpouring of parody and pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and criticism of Wallace's video demonstrates once again that our detracts from the victims' educational experience, that the victim- nation's First Amendment tradition of vigorous discourse is the students are effectively denied equal access to an institution's best way to handle speech controversies," said FIRE President resources and opportunities."

Bucknell, Michigan State, Colorado College, Brandeis, Tufts, and Johns Hopkins already comprise FIRE's Red Alert list. For the six schools not included on this list, FIRE staff members used experience as a guide. Which administrations have failed over and over again? Which ones just don't seem to get it? The exception was Marshall University in West Virginia, which made the list simply because it had so many policies that so thoroughly violated students' First Amendment rights. Marshall represents the wide swath of universities that maintain unconstitutional speech codes.

At the conferences, FIRE staff signed up approximately 100 students for the Campus Freedom Network, passed out copies of the 2011 Spotlight report and FIRE's new Challenging Your College's Speech Code pamphlet for potential student plaintiffs, and talked to hundreds of students about current threats to freedom on campus. This year at CPAC, FIRE's Vice President of Programs, Adam Kissel, spoke on a panel entitled "Defending Free Speech on Campus," and his address helped spread FIRE's message to a ballroom full of student attendees at the conference. Meeting students face-to-face at these conferences is one of the most fun and effective ways the CFN reaches out to engage new students each year. ISFLC and CPAC are just two of the many student conferences that FIRE attends to inform students of their rights and spread our nonpartisan message FIRE Co-founder Alan Charles Kors joins FIRE staff members at CPAC of protecting free speech on college campuses. We are looking forward to attending the annual Campus Progress conference in Washington, D.C. this summer, as well as the Students For Liberty (SFL) regional conferences in the fall. –Jaclyn Hall, Campus Freedom Network Associate Director PLEASE VISIT for comprehensive information on the state of liberty on America's campuses, including pages for individual academic institutions, relevant links to our research of speech codes, and case materials from FIRE's Individual Rights Defense Program. 6 Spring 2011 FIRE Speakers Bureau The Campus Freedom Network's Speakers Bureau has had a busy year!

Last academic year, the three professors were banned from campus, placed on leave, and formally reprimanded because they had joined with students who had strayed beyond the college's unconstitutional free speech zone—a single patio. "Last fall, Southwestern College suspended four faculty members FIRE's letter of May 12 points out that the new policy not only and banned them from campus for allegedly violating an threatens First Amendment liberties, but also betrays a public unconstitutional free speech zone policy," said FIRE Vice college's function as a true marketplace of ideas.

"The 'free speech patio' policy remains on the books, chilling speech on campus every day On October 22, 2009, a group of students and faculty members and further violating the rights of students and faculty members. assembled in SWC's "free speech zone" to protest various actions This policy must be revoked immediately in order to forestall taken by the SWC administration. According to a professor who further damage to free speech on campus." was in attendance, one of the students said, "Let's go where they can hear us." When some of the protesters reached the courtyard where SWC Superintendent/President Raj K. Chopra's office is located, they were met by police officers who would not let them pass. Three faculty members who were with the group for different periods of time, and a fourth who was merely in the area, were placed on paid leave and banned from campus that night via letters hand-delivered to their off-campus homes. The faculty members also were banned "from using any District facilities, phone or email." FIRE wrote Chopra on November 3, 2009, explaining why both the "Freedom of Expression" policy and its application to the protesters were unconstitutional. In a November 25 response, SWC attorney Jonathan A. Pearl promised to "carefully consider the issues" raised by FIRE. SWC convened an administrator-faculty-student committee to draft a new policy in January 2010. The committee announced a new proposed policy on April 28, but it contained significant unconstitutional flaws. In May, both FIRE and ACLU-SD sent Southwestern College campus map showing the location of the "Free Speech Patio" letters protesting the constitutional problems in the new policy. 8 Spring 2011 FIRE Report: Campus Speech Codes Trend Down While New Threats to Free Speech Emerge On December 20, 2010, FIRE released its 2011 report on campus speech encouraging," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. "But if we do not codes, revealing that 67 percent of the 390 colleges and universities continue to guard vigilantly against restrictions on students' free speech analyzed maintain policies that seriously infringe upon students' free rights, these gains could be eroded very quickly." speech rights.

While well intentioned, these bills ignore the crucial difference between children in elementary and high schools and adult college students, as well as the fact that much of what is being termed "bullying" on the college campus is actually already prohibited by existing laws. FIRE's fifth annual report is the largest and most comprehensive effort to date both to quantify the proportion of colleges and universities that restrict free speech and to assess the severity of those restrictions. The report surveys publicly available policies at institutions ranked in the 100 "Best National Universities" and at the 50 "Best Liberal Arts Colleges," as rated in the 2009 "America's Best Colleges" issue of U.S. News & World Report. FIRE also researched codes at more than 230 additional major public institutions. The research was conducted between September 2009 and September 2010. Spotlight on Speech Codes 2011: The State of Free Speech on Our Nation's Campuses reports on policies at America's largest and most prestigious colleges and The policies cited in the report are accessible online in FIRE's searchable universities.

So, should I take 'discard' out of my fstab then?
Martin PittShared publicly -
Finally, SSDs are now being trimmed automatically out of the box. Embarrassingly late, but at least in time for 14.04 LTS.

You can keep it if you prefer (the cron job will ignore mounts with "discard"), but on a desktop it seems generally preferrable to run from cron.
Very good. I already run a cron for this, but it seems better as an out-of-the-box job. Thanks
This is so wrong. This something the kernel should and not userspace be involved with.
+Lennart Poettering , that would mean to turn on "discard" on implicitly and always get the performance/battery life penalty. We can't impose functionality like "run this cleanup once a day/week/whatever else is suitable for that workload" on the kernel itself, surely?
+Martin Pitt Well, the kernel has all kinds of timers for file system and block device actions anyway. Flushing things out, and stuff like that. This really should be done by the kernel itself, maybe with a tunable in procfs or sysfs, but that's all. Userspace should not be involved in this.
I guess if it shouldn't be done in userspace one should inform Lukas Czerner and Karel Zak who wrote fstrim..
It's hard to say as it depends on the SSD and firmware, but we did see mass file deletions (such as removing entire kernel source trees) taking significantly longer with discard on some devices that don't support queued TRIM. Also, some actions like heavy random file extend/shrink with ftruncate() were 3.5-4 x slower with discard on ext4. Generally speaking though, discard overhead was minimal, but it does seem more efficient to batch up discards with periodic use of fstrim .
SSD's?! You kids with your new fangled technology. You'll pry my mechanical drive from me when it dies.
+Colin King How does windows and osx handle the trim issue? I don't understand why there's such a big performance hit on linux :S
Sten Heinze
util-linux git has for a week now a new option fstrim --all that trims all filesystems, see https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/36c370c
I thought TRIM support with modern controllers causes ext IO\premature ware and tear and that garbage collection was something done on chip for modern SSD's? Can someone tell me why everyone thinks the kernel should be worrying about this what the drives do by themselves?
+Derek Dickerson , the drive has no idea about which blocks the OS considers as unused. Disk drives don't "think" in terms of file systems, just in terms of reading and writing blocks.
My only concern with this is fstrim will cause a good 1-2 minutes of heavy I/O activity causing the system to slow down while the user has no idea what is going on or why.
+Martin Pitt
Thanks for clearing this up
if anyone is curious here is the trim command "fstrim"

Considering that SSD is widespread, this change comes too late. It should, by an update, input and versions 12.04.3, 13.04, 13.10
Hey does this mean Lubuntu 14.04 has SSD trim feature as a default...

Organization: California Center for Public Health Advocacy Agency: Brown-Miller Communications Timeframe: 2009 With the national obesity crisis growing to epidemic proportions, some health experts say there's a need for consumers to understand what they're eating—not just how much in terms of caloric content. For consumers in California trying to make sense of what they were eating in restaurants, with meager information at hand, it was a frustrating experience. At the same time, health advocates in the Golden State who were pushing this issue were running up against an immutable force: a powerful fast-food lobby. HOLLOW LEGISLATION As a sponsor of landmark restaurant menu-labeling legislation (Senate Bill 1420), the California Center for Public Health Advocacy (CCPHA) enlisted the services of Bay Area-based Brown-Miller Communications to increase public understanding of and support for the nation's first statewide menu-labeling law. According to Michael Miller, president of Brown-Miller Communications, the agency was brought to the project after having worked with the California Center for Public Health Advocacy for over a decade on a host of nutrition issues, mostly addressing them from a media advocacy point of view.

Close to central Madrid nand train station
Very nice stay
Our stay here was very nice. It is close to the train station and metro stop, and a short walk to the museum district. The room was very comfortble and quiet. The AC was delightful. We only wish they could have provided free computer use.
Don't miss taking a quiet evening walk through the Retiro Park after a busy day of touring and shopping. It's a great place to relax quietly and enjoy the lakes, wooded walkways, and the entertaining in-line skaters.
Good quality hotel
The hotel was nice and clean, and the rooms were spacious. The bathrooms were clean and also, very spacious. The hotel is located in a good part of the city. You can comfortably walk to Museum row, and all of the surrounding neighborhoods. Also,
Azucar, a salsa nightclub, is next to the hotel.
Museum Row is not that far away - you can walk it...
Good Value
The hotel is right off the Metro and walking distance to the Prada and all the great sights. It puts Madrid right in your back pocket. You can get there right from the airport and not spend but a few euros on getting around town over the entire
We found the front desk staff very friendly and knowledgable of English. The bathrooms were clean, with good water pressure. The beds were comfortable. The chocolate on the pillow at night was a nice touch. We have no complaints about this hotel. Book it and breathe easy!
a very nice stay
We were adequately pleased. The staff was not always friendly. Several messages were never delivered
Agumar Hotel Madrid
We were in Madrid for one day and one night. Flew into Madrid and had tix for high speed train to Seville next day to visit daughter studying there. Took metro from airport (wouldn't recommend because need to take three lines ---not a
problem---but lots of stairs from one line to other. Not good with lots of suitcases.) Spanish people friendly and nice. Hotel near Atocha train station so easy walking access next morning for high speed train. Hotel was very comfortable. Quiet. Great first night's sleep. Also, bus right in front took us to Plaza Mayor where we walked around and found good restaurant for dinner. Madrilenos are friendly warm people. Couldn't do enough to help.
Great location
A wonderful garden close by that was great for jogging. The train was about 2 blocks away so no need for a car. It was wonderful
Walking distance to El Prado, El Centro, Retiro Parque and the train station.
A Break from the Heat
Good location near the center. Access to the metro was near-by. Hotel was clean and comfortable with a wonderful buffet for breakfast. The only thing that caught me off guard was the twin beds... almost fell out of bed my first night.
Wonderful location near Atocha Train Station
Within walking distance of the main train station and El Parque Retiro, this hotel is in a good neighborhood full of local restaurants and self-catering and laundry services, a bit off the tourist path but really convenient to transportation. It
is not the place if you want to be right in the thick of tourist Centro for your lodgings but the value quotient and convenience to Metro and local services was a great combination for me.
A coin-operated laundry service is about a 10 minute walk away further east and down the hill a bit.
