Auto sales in the USA are expected to be even worse in 2009 than in 2008, reflecting the lower sales volume that hit at the tail end of this year. Estimates range from 11.5 million to 12.5 million for 2009, a far cry from the 17 million-a-year sales level in 2001, the Detroit 3 automakers said in testimony this month as they sought a federal bailout.
Consumer spending accounts for over two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. DeKaser and analysts at Barclays Capital, UCLA and John Hancock all expect spending to increase in the April-June quarter. One thing that will help is the sharp drop in prices of commodities, particularly gas. "It's one of the good pieces of news that's out there," says IHS Global Insight chief economist Nariman Behravesh.
4. Business spending
Businesses are expected to cut spending dramatically through much of 2009. A number of economists, including those at Citi, UCLA, National City and Wachovia, don't expect business investment, which accounts for about one-tenth of U.S. economic activity, to decline through 2009.
According to a survey of 679 chief financial officers by Duke University and CFO Magazine this month, U.S. businesses expect to cut capital spending by more than 10% in the next 12 months, a sharp deterioration from September, when the CFOs expected business investment to increase slightly.
John Graham, finance professor at Duke and director of the survey, says businesses are finding ways to repair existing machinery and buildings rather than replace equipment or move. They likely won't increase their spending until they see concrete evidence the economy is on the mend.
"Some people are doing it because the business is just not there," Graham says. "Other companies are potentially cutting back even as a precautionary measure."
Also holding back businesses is the lack of access or high cost of credit, Graham says.
Robert Safro, president of LOGOmotion, a Bethesda, Md.-based company that creates marketing materials such as coffee mugs and tote bags for conferences and businesses, sees a great deal of caution from his clients.
Those planning meetings for late winter and early spring are either buying fewer or less-expensive items, or they're not buying at all. One client who usually spends about $80,000 on a conference each year is spending half that.
"I'm concerned," Safro says.
Robert Coen, director of forecasting at media-analysis firm Magna, predicts a 4.5% drop in ad spending to $259 billion in 2009 on the heels of a 3.2% drop in 2008.
"A recovery in U.S. ad budgets will probably not get underway until 2010," he says.
Another negative for 2009: There aren't any big ad-spending events such as the Olympics or national elections.
Declining business spending will hurt a number of industries but will be especially tough for the manufacturing sector. Nearly two-thirds of manufacturers expect revenue to be unchanged or lower in 2009 than 2008, a survey from the Institute for Supply Management found.
5. Prices
Concerns about inflation are so 2008. In 2009, deflation worries are expected to dominate the pricing landscape.
With the economy in a slump, prices are falling for a variety of goods — prompting worries that the economy could sink into a deflationary spiral. Deflation is a broad, sustained decline in prices that is hard to stop once it takes hold.
If consumers expect prices to decline, they put off making purchases, thus crippling the already weak economy.
While many economists say the chances of deflation are remote, the Federal Reserve is taking no chances.
Tuesday, the Fed slashed interest rates to near zero and vowed to keep them low while also pledging to plow money into the financial system to unlock lending and boost the economy.
Concerns about deflation will make the Fed "all the more aggressive," says Comerica's Johnson, arguing that although price pressures are abating, the chance of outright deflation is remote.
Still, "That is going to be a risk for a while given the severity of the recession."

Anthony T.W. Myers: Perilous EscapadesIllustration // Saturday, December 28, 2013
'Growing up terrorizing a small town in Oklahoma, Anthony T.W. Myers spent most of his childhood exploring abandoned structures, getting dirty in creeks, and pestering his fellow neighbor kids. During his perilous escapades, he'd hoped to discover a new unrecorded aquatic species, a real live ghost, or most importantly a true friend that was at least half as crazy as he was. Whether or not these aspirations ever became a reality is hardly relevant. His childhood ambitions stewed and fermented in his soul and his head throughout his life..'

Rebecca Chaperon's AntarticusIllustration // Friday, December 27, 2013
With a compulsion to create unique visual stories, Rebecca Chaperon takes the imaginative subjects of her illustrative paintings and establishes an ability to engage people by speaking to the enchantment of our human experience. Her paintings act as a means of storytelling, conveying the notion of human struggle in the 21st century. Tempered by references to the synthesized, modern world she combines the classical landscape aesthetics of the past with an aspect of ambient self-reflective self-portraiture.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
More changes in the Bucks' front office
Mike Burr, the Milwaukee Bucks' chief financial officer, will stay on temporarily as new owners Wes Edens and Marc Lasry begin to put their own stamp on the franchise.
Burr said Edens and Lasry asked him to stay on for three months. Beyond that period, Burr said he wasn't sure. "I don't know what their interest is," he said.
Also, JoAnne Anton, who serves as project coordinator and special assistant to former senator Herb Kohl, has moved out of the Bucks' offices and now works in Kohl's private office downtown.
Anton said in an email that her job title stays the same. The only change is that she will no longer work on Bucks' projects.
Anton has worked for Kohl for 20 years.

Leaving Himeem near Mousel, Chavo was up a little at 116kph but Goncalves and Coma were still quickest at 122 and 125kph.
Chavo is on a 499cc while Coma and Goncalves are (supposedly) 50cc down on him. Makes one wonder how much power the full factory efforts are able to wring out of such a small capacity.
Great quote from Don @ CPW (when he was talking to the Austrian guys that built his KTM 450RR engine).
Austrian guy said something like: 'Hows the engine doing'?
Don:'We seem to be down a couple of K's in topspeed'
Austrian guy: 'Are you sure your rider is giving it full throttle?'
Turns out that the exact same engines were used by CD and MC.. When used by factory riders, they had a topspeed that was a little higher...

Poderosa Rd., Ishi Wilderness, Black Rock and the Hogsback. Whooo Hooo!!!

Continuing on....
Once you cross over to the other side (north side) of Deer Creek you enter into a State Game Refuge and after a little ways it opens up to just brush. You're out of the trees for awhile. Why the lack of trees I'm not sure but it's still beautiful country where there was a lot of volcanic activity about a billion years ago.
Actually the most recent volcanic activity in the area wasn't that long ago. If I weren't so lazy I'd pull up the info for you but if you're really interested, you can google it.
As I rode along I noticed there was a lot and I mean A LOT of bear scat/poop/dung, whichever you prefer, on the road. The most I had ever seen on a ride. Seriously it was everywhere. The only thing I could think of was the bear population may have condensed to the Game Refuge due to bear season being open. I did see a lot of bear hunters in the Hogsback area.
Looking West,
As I rode through the area, it was pretty overgrown, bushes overgrown the road a little, I began thinking maybe I should slow down a little in the event that I might come around a curve and run into a bear. Probably wouldn't be a good thing. So I did and took it all in a little more. Looking Northwest.
Soon after the previous picture the Lassen Trail and Ponderosa Rd. merge together for a little ways, Soon I came to my turn that would take me into the Ishi Widerness Area.
A couple of pics as I decended in elevation.
Looking west. That mountain range way off in the distance is the Pacific Coast Range the other side of the valley.
Looking down the road where I was heading. Sorry about the glare but I actually like the picture.
I passed by these sign boards and had to turn around to come back to them. Hadn't expected them. I wish you could read them. Sorry.
This is Mill Creek. Black Rock Campground is here.
Black Rock. It's one big a--ed rock.
Another veiw, better.
Another veiw from the canyon looking towards the valley. The thing about this ride is you wind your way in and out of multiple canyons working your way north from Chico towards Red Bluff. It was kind of cool as I slabbed it back to Chico on Hwy 99 to look east toward where I was riding and realize that I had just come through the area working my way through the canyons.
Just a road shot. Nothing intense here. Pretty easy riding but fun stuff.
Rock wall along the canyon.
South Fork Antelope Creek. South Antelope Campground is here also.
More mossy rock.
Water crossing Middle Fork Antelope Creek.
Ok, I'll leave you here at another water crossing and finish this tommorrow night.
No, I don't know where that road goes, let's find out!

Floor lamps are both functional and stylish and one style particularly stands out and that is the arc lamp. It's a classic go-to piece for the modern living room and as been a staple of modern design for over five decades.
An arc lamp is an easy way to enhance a room's interior design. It can become a focal point, drawing attention to an area you want to highlight.
An elegant and simple arched floor lamp is more than just a pretty face; it can provide light where a table lamp can't, and is a great option when a chandelier or pendant light isn't a possibility.
While chandeliers and pendant lights are more for ambient lighting, arc lamps are especially good for task lighting as you can see in the picture above of a reading corner decked out in metallics.
They can also act as a space saver when there isn't enough room for a side table with a lamp, and their bases are small enough that they can hide behind large furniture or be backed into a corner.
Arc lamps aren't just for living rooms - they are also a great way to illuminate a dining area. We love the combination of the sleek contemporary lamp and modern chairs with the more rustic live-edge dining table.
We had to include this groovy 70s restaurant by Warren Platner for its inventive use of arc lamps. The arc lamps preclude the need for chandeliers, which would have ruined the effect of that show-stopping ceiling.
The finish on these lamps isn't limited to the chrome in which it was originally designed. There are versions with shades, multiple lights and different finishes like brass or bronze, which makes them very flexible and easy to incorporate into just about any interior design style.
Arc lamps also come in a range of prices so there is no need to break the bank in order to get one into your room.

A soft patriotic color palette for your home
Happy July 1st everyone! Independence day is just around the corner... Let's talk about how to apply a patriotic spin on your interior design without hanging a flag on your wall.
You can include patriotic colors in your home and you don't have to use the traditional red, white and blue. Try softening it up a bit, like this great palette idea above.
Minimal design with red,white and blue.
The modern living room above does a great job of using a patriotic color palette without throwing it in your face, or being too thematic.
You can subtly mix the colors together in a rug and then choose a bold blue chair for this same look. Notice how sleek contemporary floor lamps have the ability to upgrade any color palette!
Red, white and blue kitchen design.
Take a cue from this cool kitchen design and go bold with your tile. This design above had lots of fun with their color scheme, mixing up different shades of blue, while using a more orangey red.
The most important thing is to have fun with your color palette and plan out its execution before you begin the design.

Water features bring a spa-like quality to outdoor living spaces and patio fountains are a great way to bring this serene feeling to your patio or backyard.
In this peaceful flagstone courtyard, two white outdoor patio chairs and a fountain provide a place for quiet contemplation.
Free-standing fountains provide a focal point in your outdoor living space design. On this patio, the red accent wall draws even more attention to the black basalt fountain.
Patio fountains can also go in unexpected places, as seen in the outdoor living room above. The fountain is almost treated like a work of art in its own lit niche.
Fountains can be both sculptural and soothing with the trickling sound of water, guaranteed to soothe even the most frazzled of nerves.

Chic interior design from Spain.
The interior design style of this home designed by Isabel Lopez-Quesada can be described as eclectic chic. This mix of styles come together perfectly to create something very distinctive.
Modern living room with mixed lighting styles.
Lopez-Quesada mixes unexpected details that make all the difference, like this door frame above. The palette is mostly neutral with cool pops of green.
She also balances a perfect amount of contemporary light fixtures, making the room functional and unique. Notice, a classic style table lamp can be paired with an ultra modern floor lamp and wall light for a perfect contrast.
Modern wall light fixtures in a stylish bathroom.
The bathroom is jaw-dropping, featuring marble from the floor to the counter top, with mirror in between. Modern wall light fixtures keep the room functional.
Spanish style outdoor patio.
The eclectic chic interior design style doesn't stop with the inside... Once you step outside, you'll have to make the hard decision of how to split your time.
The modern outdoor furniture is paired with delicate details, making the perfect design statement among all the greenery.

Modern architecture draped over the Norwegian seaside.
This Norwegian seaside sauna called The Band, was designed by students at the Oslo School of Design and Architecture.
It's made up of three bands of wood that drape the rocky terrain perfectly. Beautiful architecture, like this sauna, enhances its environment rather than destroys it.
Modern seaside sauna design.
The landscape is appreciated from inside the sauna as well. The curves of the terrain are mimicked by the shape of the large windows, which provide an epic view.
Modern architecture by the sea.
The only thing missing are a couple of outdoor patio chairs and a patio accent table so you can continue taking in the beautiful landscape while cooling off from the sauna.
In my opinion, this is a top-of-the-list vacation destination.

Orange-Beef Broth
11 Nov 2009
Orange-Beef Broth has a fine taste. Orange-Beef Broth gets its taste from oranges mixed with beef broth and butter. Orange-Beef Broth is used to make lovely soup recipes.
|Navel oranges
|2 Large
|3 Tablespoon
|Canned beef broth
|21 Ounce (2 Cans, 10.5 Ounce Each)
|120 Milliliter (1 Soup Can)
|Orange juice
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
|Whole cloves
Using a vegetable peeler, cut thin strips about an inch long of orange zest (only the colored layer of the skin); cut one for each serving of soup and set aside to use for garnish.
With a sharp knife, cut all the remaining peel, including the white membrane, from the oranges.
Lift out the orange sections (work over a pan to catch all the juices); discard the pulp and peel.
Add butter to the orange sections in the pan and simmer for about 3 minutes.

King Dividend's benevolent rule over the stock markets is being challenged.
Investors are in a more speculative mood so far in 2014, and that means dividend-paying stocks have slipped down the performance charts. The top three sectors in the first quarter of the year were materials, energy and gold. Even the benighted S&P/TSX Venture index has come to life. We may well be at an inflection point where the dividend stars of the past five years give way to companies that offer more growth potential. But there's still enough uncertainty out there to maintain a dividend core in a portfolio.

Exhaust looks awesome. Very impressed with speed of delivery. Ordered the part on a Monday night and it was at my door on Thursday early afternoon.

Great experience.

Most of my dispute is with fedex under the free shipping. They did a lot of backtracking because the label was bad so my package was delayed. However, I installed it myself at home with the use of rhino ramps. I would however recommend taking it to a professional to install. This is because the bolts on the OEM midpipe are a half inch too short to properly mount the axleback. So I had to buy longer bolts to mount it better. The old ones can be grinded with a dremel at the weld points by the bolt head and knocked out with a hammer. It looks great and sounds great. There is some drone when ran cold but it does mellow out as you drive. Also for the AT, it does do a slight drone around 2k-3k rpms. If you are willing to spend some extra money and do some extra work to make it fit, then this will be a great buy for any 9th gen accord coupe owners.

Insaniac, on 21 November 2012 - 02:25 AM, said:
Anyway, for anybody interested, here are some passages from the book "When Pigs Move In" by Don Dickerman, on Freemasonry. The speak mostly about penaltys and punishment for exposing their practices.
-- These are Don's words, not mine.
Humbly, I ask the Moderator's to leave this post as is. Granted, it gets graphic towards the end, but I believe this post could be very educational for those who are interested in Freemasonry, or the occult. Peace.
Don: "I don't condemn people who are Masons. I have many friends who made the choice to join. I do believe they made a choice out of ignorance. Most of them tell me "Aw, I never go. I just joined because someone asked me to and I thought it was an honor to be considered." Others say, "I thought it might help me in my business ventures and associations."
"I would like to see every believer free. I don't think folks who get involved in these occult organizations realize what they are doing, nor do they understand what curses they may have brought on their family and future generations. Selwyn Stevens of Jubilee Ministries in New Zealand has gathered some valuable information to help free people from the curse of Freemasonry. I share this with you and encourage you to prayerfully read through it. Let the Holy Spirit give you direction."
Information about various Degrees and Oaths taken:
Thirty-Third and Supreme Degree:
"The Thirty-Third and Supreme Degree of Masonry has secret passwords, and these words show up as demonic powers during a deliverence session. This ungodly oath includes calling Lucifer the great architect of the universe and refers to him as the universal fatherhood of God. This degree includes the cable tow around the neck, the death wish that the wine drunk from a Human skull should turn to poison, and the skeleton whose cold arms are invited if the oath of this degree is violated.
This degree also involves greed and witchcraft in the attempt to manipulate and control the rest of mankind. Also introduced in this degree are the three infamous assassins of their grand master: law, property, and religion."
Blue Lodge:
Every oath of Masonry invites unclean spirits and often brings curses upon future generations. The Blue Lodge oath involves the first or entered apprentice degree and especially affects the throat and tongue. Involved is the "Hoodwink Blindfold" and it effects the spirit, emotions, and eyes including confusion, fear of the dark, fear of the light, and fear of sudden noises. Results are often the blinding of spiritual truth, darkness of the soul, false imagination, condescension, and the spirit of poverty, that can be caused by the ritual of this degree.
There is the "usurping of the marriage" covenant by the removal of the wedding ring, the invoking of the secret word "Boaz" - the serpent clasp on the apron, the spirit of the python, which is brought to squeeze out all spiritual life, the ancient Pagan teaching from Babylon and Egypt, and the symbolism of the first tracing board. There is the mixing and mingling of truth and error. Mythology, fabrications, and lies taught as truth. The dishonesty by leaders as to the true understanding of the ritual, and the blasphemy of this degree of Freemasonry. Also included in Blue Lodge oaths is the presentation of the compass.
There is also the cable tow noose around the neck, resulting often in the fear of choking and possibly causing asthma, hay fever, emphysema, or any other breathing difficulty. There is the ritual dagger, or the compass point, sword or spear held against the breast, causing the fear of death by stabbing pain, the fear of heart attack from this degree, and the absolute secrecy demanded under a witchcraft oath and sealed by kissing the Volume of the Sacred Law. Included also is the kneeling to the false deity known as the "Great Architect of the Universe" revealed as Lucifer. Results often brings curses of the throat, vocal chords, nasal passages, sinuses, bronchial tubes, and the like. I have dealt with virtually all of these symptoms in deliverance sessions with folks who have Masonry in their ancestry."
Second or Fellow Craft Degree of Masonry:
"This includes the curses on the heart and chest, the ancient Pagan teaching and symbolism of the second tracing board, and the sign of reverence to the generative principle. Resultant issues are often emotional hardness, apathy, indifference, unbelief, and deep anger. The chest, lungs, and heart areas many times are healed when this is denounced."
Third or Master Mason Degree:
"The curses here show up in the stomach and womb area. The ancient Pagan teaching and symbols of the third tracing board are used in this ritual. Blows to the head enacted as ritual murder are known to result in the fear of death, false martyrdom, fear of violent gang attack, assault, rape, and helplessness, the falling into the coffin or stretcher involved in the ritual of murder. Hiram Abiff is introduced as the savior of Freemasonry. The stomach, gallbladder, womb, liver, and any other organs of the body can be affected by Masonry.
The demonic spirits of Tubal Cain and Maha Bone have shown up in many deliverance sessions I have directed. They are high-ranking Masonry territorial spirits. In a recent deliverance, demons who were present by permission of Freemasonry in the ancestry began to cry for help. The candidate said "I am hearing "Maha, Maha" over and over. I hear it like a cry for help.
There is the Pagan ritual of the "Point within a Circle," with all it's bondages and phallus worship. The symbol "G" and it's veiled Pagan symbolism and bondages, the occult mysticism of the black and white mosaic checkered floor with the tessellated border and five-pointed blazing star. The symbol "G" does not represent God, as some may tell you."
The All-Seeing Third Eye of Freemasonry:
"This includes Horus in the forehead and it's Pagan and occult symbolism and the third eye and all occult ability to see into the spiritual realm. Because of the false communions taken and the mockery of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, unbeleif, confusion, and depression are found as a result. This also results in fear of insanity, anguish, death wishes, suicide and death, anger, hatred, murderous thoughts, revenge, retaliation, spiritual apathy, false religion, and all unbelief, especially in God's Word."
York Rite:
"This includes the Mark Lodge and the mark in the form of squares and angles, which marks the person for life. There is the jewel or occult talisman that may have been made from this mark/sign and worn at lodge meetings. The Mark Master Degree, the penalty is having theright ear smote off, the curse of permanent deafness, and the right hand being lopped off for being an imposter.
Why is Masonry so secretive? Read very carefully the penalty of revealing their secrets as taken in vows. Past master penalty includes tongue split from tip to root, and of the most excellent master degree penalty: breast torn open and heart and vital organs removed and exposed to rot on a dung hill."
Holy Royal Arch Degree:
"This includes oaths taken and the curses involved in the Royal Arch Degree, especially the oath regarding the remonval of the head from the body and exposing the brains in the hot sun. Yes, you are reading correctly. It also includes the false secret name of "God" and worship of the false Pagan Gods Bul or Baal and On or Osiris. This degree also includes false communion or Eucharist, mockery, skepticism, and unbelief about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. Many times healing of the brain and mind come when this is denounced and confessed as sin.
Just look at the curses involved in the Royal Arch Degree of the York Rite and the Select Master Degree. The penalty for telling the secrets is to have one's hands chopped off to the stumps, to have their eyes plucked out of their sockets, and to have their body quartered and thrown among the rubbish of the Temple."
"Super Excellent" Master Degree:
"It's curse is to have one's thumbs severed, eyes put out, body bound in fetters and brass, and conveyed captive to a strange land."
Knights Order of the Red Cross:
"It's curse or penalty is having their house torn down and being hanged on the exposed timbers."
Knights Templar and Knights of Malta Degrees:
"The Knights Templar & Knights of Malta degrees include vows taken on a Human skull,the crossed swords, the curse and death wish of Judas of having the head cut off and placed on top of a church spire, unholy communion, and drinking from a Human skull in many rites."
There are some more, but thats enough for now.
Seldom have I read so much BS in so short a time... ask yourself - how many times have such mutilations been reported in your local press.
You are just repeating that same Papal Bull from 1307 - which even the Roman Catholic hierarchy has apologised for - even the Pope.

Free-agent outfielder Endy Chavez has agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles. An experienced and dependable fill-in, Chavez batted .301 with five homers and 27 RBIs in 83 games for the AL champion Texas Rangers last season. Dan Duquette, the Orioles' new executive vice president of baseball operations, says Chavez is a ''tremendous defender'' who gives the team ''needed depth'' in the outfield. A left-handed hitter with speed, the 33-year-old Chavez is a .274 career hitter in 10 major league seasons with Kansas City, Montreal/Washington, Philadelphia, the New York Mets, Seattle and Texas. He is best known for his spectacular catch with the Mets in Game 7 of the 2006 NL championship series against St. Louis.

Season subscriptions are $93-$1,080; call 713-522-5538. Single tickets go on sale Aug. 6 at www.houstonballet.org.
Houston Ballet's dancers just began rehearsals for their season's second half, but some of them must also be smacking their chops over what they'll be performing in 2012-2013.
Among six new works entering the company's rep next season are its first commissions for up-and-coming choreographers Aszure Barton and Edwaard Liang, a new version of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring from artistic director Stanton Welch, and company premieres of some classic oldies but goodies - George Balanchine's Ballet Imperial (1941), Mark Morris' Pacific (1995) and Twyla Tharp's The Brahms-Haydn Variations (2000).
Story ballets include reprisals of Welch's Madame Butterfly (1995) and La Bayadère (2010), plus the return of Trey McIntyre's Peter Pan (2002), which we thought was surely lost in Never Never Land.
The Cullen Series, a program of smaller-scale dances, has also been dusted off for a visit by Les Grands Ballet Canadiens de Montreal. They will perform Mauro Bigonzetti's Cantata and The Four Seasons.
The Nutcracker and the one-night Jubilee of Dance are back as well.
A Houston audience saw Barton's work in 2010, when Society for the Performing Arts presented her New York-based company, Aszure Barton & Artists.
"I'm fascinated with exploring every part of the body. So much can be said with even the small parts," she said then.
An artist in residence at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York and the Banff Centre in Canada, she's created ballets for many of the world's top companies, including Netherlands Dance Theater, the National Ballet of Canada and American Ballet Theatre. She also choreographed the 2006 Broadway revival of The Threepenny Opera.
Her Houston Ballet piece will likely use the entire company, Welch says. It doesn't yet have a title, and the music hasn't been announced, but it will feature designs by Fritz Masten and lighting by Burke Brown.
Liang has been here before, too, appearing in Houston's Dance Salad Festival.
He made his first piece in 2003, when he was performing with Netherlands Dance Theater, and his choreography quickly became a hot commodity. (He's also starred in Broadway's Fosse, and he danced with New York City Ballet from 2004 to 2007.)
Welch likes Liang's brew of influences, from Asian culture to Balanchine and Jirí Kylián. This year, Liang also has commissions from San Francisco Ballet and Tulsa Ballet.

I was just thinking that it's been too long since we last spoke. Like, really spoke. And now that I'm about to turn 14—yeah, I know! Fourteen!—I figured it would be super adult of me to clear up a few things.
New York: The Frederick P. Rose Auditorium at Cooper Union, a twisted lecture hall of aluminum and mesh wire, seemed a most-fitting setting for Monday night's event entitled, "Breaking Through Internet Censorship." Scheduled on the, "World Day Against Cyber Censorship" (Reporters Without Borders), this chilling event explored the citizenry of surfing the world wide web...and being watched, censored, and hunted in the process.
During the three month occupation of Zuccotti Park by Occupy Wall Street protesters last year, cameras were everywhere. News agencies, police, and demonstrators trained their cameras (high end and low tech) on each other for around the clock surveillance. And all of this streamed live on the Internet. In this collaborative essay, Shaun Randol discusses this all-seeing phenomenon side-by-side Ahmet Sibdial Sau's photographs of the occupation.
Numbers is hardly real and they never have feelings
but you push too hard, even numbers got limits.
–Mos Def, Mathematics
This summer has been bookended by two fairly significant events that have put the concept of virtual money squarely back on the table. The first was the hacking of a Bitcoin (an "experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone") account in June, and now the soft launch of Google Wallet, Google's new Android app that turns a phone into a wallet.
Though media and public interest in the organization has waned recently, WikiLeaks continues to publish a torrent of diplomatic and other sensitive material. In this essay, Shaun Randol argues that, from top to bottom, the anti-secrecy organization has permanently altered how international affairs are conducted: emboldened citizens worldwide can now act in arenas normally reserved for a powerful, elite few.
A new war has emerged on the Internet. Its battleground is our increasingly precious and oft-used social network platforms. And the weapon used on either side is your identity. Welcome to the Nym Wars.
On July 9th Africa's largest country, Sudan, split into two new states, Sudan and South Sudan. After fighting for the majority of the country's history, the mostly Islamic North and the multicultural/Christian South finally agreed to divide—thanks to 99% of the Sudan voters agreeing to separation.

Book early, or it could be the beach for you..
Despite the myriad of Bed and Breakfasts in the village and surrounding areas, it is best to book ahead of time, especially on summer weekends.
We recently spent 4 hours searching for accommodation before we struck lucky, and got a whole house to ourselves for the price of a B&B room.
At one house we knocked at the door to enquire about B&B and was greeted by a pair of small boys from the garden who were having a kickabout. After enquiring if their parents were in, they returned after a few minutes.
"Me Da's not in"
"Me Ma's not in"
"There someone on the couch"
"Well can you ask someone on the couch if you have any rooms going ?"
A few minutes later still the boys returned.
"He said we are all full"
I'm sure I distinctly heard the words "And tell them to Feck off as well" from the distant background.
With customer service like that the Celtic Tiger is in good hands.
Walking to Hag's Head?
When we asked at the tourist information at the Cliffs that we wanted to walk to Hag's Head and back, they tell us that this walking track is already several years closed and that its dangerous to walk this route. But in a lot of guide books they tell us about this beautiful walk. We were indecisive in what to do, but due to the bad weather (fog) we decided not to go to Hag's Head.
I can't give any advise in if you can do this walk or not, because we met people who did it. So be safe and decide well.

GeeXBox TV-Out
Well this is a GOD SENT of Media Player on a LINUX format
Ive just built a 586 system with 2xDVD Drives just to watch movies on and play music
Im planing to put a SBLive 5.1 in the system too for the sound.
It boots up and runs ever format and ever type of disc i got BRILL.
But i would like to be able to hook it up to the TV and Video Player, So I would need a BASIC Graphics card that could do TV Out and would work with GeeXBox OS.
Any one know of such a card that it has drivers for, or has any one ever done daul Display (Monitor Monitor or TV Monitor) with GeeXBox OS
Also Knoppix
Another Great OS of the 21st Centry
but like GeeXBox i need to Run this with TV-Out
as like my GeeXBox System, i plan to use Knoppix for a surfing OS, and would need it to run via the TV as well.
Re: GeeXBox TV-Out
Well i managed to buy a TV Adaptor, wireless one come to think of it
also brought a DVD-AGP card, what LINUX doesnt like at all great

i built a few ar's and am almost done w/ an ak. and will soon start a belt fed ak (just got some parts in).
but i was wondering, what is involved in building something bolt action? are there any builds here?
i built a few ar's and am almost done w/ an ak. and will soon start a belt fed ak (just got some parts in).
but i was wondering, what is involved in building something bolt action? are there any builds here?
From scratch (pieces of round stock), or from a commercially available receiver? There are plans for the various .50 BMG builds out there, most use a surplus M2 bbl. The main problem with a scratch build is proper heat treatment. With the rifle kits we use for AKs, ARs, etc. the critical locking parts are already manufactured and heat treated. Especially with the BMG round, get the heat treat wrong and your face or shoulder could be toast.
For smaller calibers most would just buy a commercial receiver or barelled action and go from there. With a bare receiver you can turn a bbl from a blank, or if a Mauser is the starting point they make "short chambered" complete bbls that screw in and only need the chamber deepened a bit to set headspace. All sorts of aftermarket triggers and stocks available. Except for custom reworking of the bolt handle and such, it is a buy parts and assemble build.
i was thinking more like something in .308 and building the receiver. after i do my belt fed build, i was thinking my next step would be to progress on to a bolt action (but i have to make the receiver because i dont want to deal w/ paperwork, lonnnng complicated story).
i want something like a rem 700 but just didnt know what is involved in building something like that and havent really found anything online.
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
PTG sells remmy bolts complete or assemble what you want.
Guys are making the receivers from 4140 or stainless and heat treating BEFORE final machining.
Check out this site and this thread.

You ain't going to save any money, but you can have fun.
Hello leonpiper69,
A possibility for building a bolt gun is restoring a deactivated 03A3 Springfield into .308. That has been done before.
One added item is re-building a dewat Mosin-Nagant from parts. That has been discussed here on gunco as the fellows were searching for a legal means to build pistols from Mosin-Nagant parts.
Neither of the above is a cheap answer but they are "paper-less".
the only reason i want to go paperless is im not in my home state so its a huge pain in the but to buy anyhting here in PA. my wife can (she's active duty). but then i have to have her involved (which means i need permission to spend money.........)
if i build it myself i figure it may still cost money but i can spend it over time here and there. thanks for the link juanni. im gonna check that out. i may not even try, but i have no idea how hard it is or what tools are invloved. i have been thinking about getting a mini mill. but i may need more than that.
Here is another good link,
You would need at a minimum a lathe and at least a drill mill. Don't think a mini mill would handle the loads required.

Bearing in mind I am in the UK.
Things have gotten rubbish with the ex. I have decided to just file for divorce and get it over with.
He comes over and has bought the girls loadsa stuff (a lot of it is super messy stuff, so he comes over, gives them this stuff, they make a mess and ex says 'this place is a tip' and I'm like, you bought this stuff, sure hes doing it on purpose).
He keeps bringing up the past, hes accusing me of having had an affair for the past year (so not true), stealing his post, accusing me of having 'company', that kinda company, just because I bought a bottle of wine.
Hes been accusing me of just wanting money for the kids so I can spend it on what I want, hes been harassing me about getting this custody agreement thing signed, his own solicitor said that I could get legal advice but the ex expects me to just sign it and give it back. He says I am doing it on purpose, I'm not (will explain situation bit better in a minute).
He wants me to apply for child benefit for just one of the girls and he will get it for the other 2, but I don't know the ramifications of that legally so I want to check that out, again, he says its taking to long (bearing in mind we only split up towards end of December and the papers only came Tuesday last week).
This is the situation I find myself in..........
First, I have 3 girls to look after and I have to get them to school which is knackering.
2) I have loadsa housework to do with zero help, turns out, 3 kids can make a hell of a mess.
3) On Tuesday just gone I found a lump in my breast and have to go get checked for breast cancer, so kinda worried.
4) I have been maybe getting 5 hours sleep a night at most, so totally exhausted.
5) I have hardly any money coming in, its going to take an age for child benefit and tax credits and in the mean time, me and the kids have to live off £137 a FORTNIGHT.
finally, when things are stressful, my guts give up the ghost, no one really knows why, but I am living off 500 cals a day max. Have nausea and vomiting, I am literally retching the whole way to school and back. Have lost over half a stone in the past few weeks and I am now reaching the point where I am getting severe bruising for no good reason. I simply do not feel well.
So, with all that going on, I'm sorry, but life is kinda difficult right now, doing things as fast as I can, but it does take time.
He bombards me with texts saying that I don't give a damn about the kids, I just want the money, I'm a bitch, I'm being cruel to the kids by not signing the agreement yet, blah, blah, blah........... He sees them every other day, so what if the agreement hasn't been signed yet? We have a current agreement that is working out at the moment, all the custody agreement does is formalise it. he keeps telling me that I am obviously going back on what I said about custody, that I only want him to see the kids every other weekend, but if that was the case, why is he seeing them every other day?
I thought once we were apart, this stuff would stop and for a bit it was good but now its driving me nuts.
I have told him to just leave me alone and to stay away from me. He can see the kids, but leave me the hell alone. Just sick of him coming round, accusing me of stuff, assuming the worst about me, yadda, yadda, yadda and then he says (because I reach a point where I get snappy) 'if it was anyone else here you wouldn't treat them like this' and I'm like, 'if anyone else was here they wouldn't be treating me like this and therefore I wouldn't be snappy.
I cannot bear to be in the same room as him anymore.
Then, to top it all off, he says hes done nothing wrong and everythings down to me....... Go take a flying leap!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so frustrated and angry and hurt and everything else.
At the same time I feel awesome, free for the first time in years, its hard with the single parenting bit but I am doing ok. Everyone says 'you look so much better since you split up with him' and I do. I went got a haircut, had I don't that before I was obviously trying to get some guys attention, having an affair whatever. I can shop for as long as I like without being accused of having an affair.
I am talking to my family again, my Dad was in tears, he said 'I've got my daughter back'...... Ex would call me stuff like bitch, slag, slut and cunt in front of family and he was also quite crappy with my family so they didn't want to come round, same with friends. Apparently, if he didn't have a family, I couldn't either and he often said 'had I known you would continue to be in contact with your Dad I never would have married you'.
I can't explain how much better I feel, how much relief I feel now its all over. Turns out everyone who was in my life, docs, health visitor etc etc was concerned about me and the relationship with ex. Shame they waited til now to tell me .
So, yeah, I want a divorce, I know I can get legal aid, I just want to know how long it will take (I would really like the answers to be like, a couple of months or so but I don't think it will actually be that short lolol).
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired...............................
I can't answer your question but wanted to say hi. I'm in the uk too, northwest. In sorry your going through a bad time, I'm only four weeks into my split so I understand how your feeling. I've finally got my tax credits through just waiting on my student bursary so I'm skint too!
Just a word about the child benefit... Keep them in your name... All of them. Tax credits and other benefits use the person getting child benefit as the main carer. eg I needed to child benefit letter to prove I was the one that was looking free the kids to claim the tax credits and my bursary.
Have you looked at the gingerbread website? They have loads of great info and forums for single parents... They also have a free helpline
Good luck with everything feel free to pm me if you want someone 'local' to chat too x
Sorry ... Autocorrect did its best to ruin my post!
Thing is, ex is living in emergency accomodation, he wants 50/50 custody which I am not oppsed to, but his solicitor told him that in order for him to get a 2 bedroom place so the girls can stay over, then he needs the child benefit or tax credits which just seems crazy to me. Surely the agreement would suffice and the fact its down mainly to health reasons, Both of us have health issues so it being 50/50 gives us the time with the kids and also time to recouperate so the kids get the best out of both of us.
It seems stupid for me to claim for one kid and he claims for the other 2 and to have me tell people that the eldest 2 are staying with him. Whether he likes it or not, even if it turns into 50/50, I will still be primary carer because there are times he simply won't be able to deal with it, I just get on with stuff because I have no choice.
I just dunno..... Going to talk to a solicitor tomorrow!!!!!!
A solicitor is a good idea. Be careful, I'm learning to put myself first now that I'm single ... Although its hard after a decade of putting xp's needs before mine.
Where abouts in the uk are you?
In devon.
I too am tired of doimg the same thing for a decade lol!!!!!
When I broke up with my ex, I also felt simultaneously relieved and so upset (about the uncertainty of the single-parent role) that I lost weight quickly. It got better rather quickly, as my ex and I settled into a routine, regarding money and the kids, and life was more predictable. I hope it will be the same for you.
As far as how long it will take to get everything straight in court, I couldn't begin to tell you. I'm not in the UK and my ex and I were never married and never went to court - we wrote up our own agreement. My husband's divorce from his 1st ex-wife took about 6 months, I think. Both of them were focused on the kids' needs and shared parenting responsibilities well, from the outset. His divorce from the more recent ex-wife - from initial separation to the final resolution of child custody - took 8 years! The good news is, that's very unusual! You can almost rest assured yours won't be that long. And when you're frustrated with how yours is progressing, you can remind yourself, "Hey, at least it's not been 8 years!"
Here, the court will issue temporary orders, to let you establish a routine with money and visitation, even as everything is still being discussed and finalized. Courts there most likely do something similar. Anyone understands it's not in a child's best interest to wait a year for predictable child support payments, just because the parents' divorce takes a year to be finalized.
He bombards me with texts saying that I don't give a damn about the kids, I just want the money, I'm a bitch, I'm being cruel to the kids by not signing the agreement yet, blah, blah, blah........... He sees them every other day, so what if the agreement hasn't been signed yet? We have a current agreement that is working out at the moment, all the custody agreement does is formalise it. he keeps telling me that I am obviously going back on what I said about custody, that I only want him to see the kids every other weekend, but if that was the case, why is he seeing them every other day?
He, too, is hurt and insecure. While his behavior might make it seem he didn't value you very much, he must have. He married you. Then he behaved in ways that drove you away. He feared you didn't want him anymore (i.e., he suspected you of having an affair with someone else)...and now that fear is material: You don't want him. In fact, you feel happy and free to be rid of him. And, at some point, you will be with someone else. If his personality drove you away, maybe he's destined to drive away every woman he gets close to? Maybe he will even drive away his daughters, some day? (This is generally what a parent fears, when they buy the kids too much stuff.) Or maybe he's made you hate him so much that you will teach them to hate him?
And to top it off, you are in effect the gatekeeper to his children. Sure, right now you're giving him access to them. But what if you stop? That custody agreement can't get formalized fast enough, as far as he's concerned. For him, it represents an assurance that he will continue getting to see the girls.
He's probably also worried about money. If you don't have tons of it to start with, it's scary to think about having to pay a chunk of it to your ex (even if you know it's important). What if he can't keep up with what he owes? Will he lose access to the kids? Will he be able to support himself?
Childishly, he thinks if he says and does things to make you feel hurt and insecure too, he might feel better (or at least have company in his misery). Try to regard him like a child throwing a temper tantrum. You haven't done something wrong, to cause him to act this way. He wants your attention. He wants reassurance. And you can't give it to him, while he's acting this way. So sigh and go on with the rest of your life, while he gets himself together. Of course you should consult a professional before you sign the agreement. He'll just have to deal with it.

Saw a solicitor today, she said as long as no one fights the divorce it should take around 3 months.
I understand he feels hurt etc, but this isn't just about little things like suspecting I was having an affair etc, he broke my jaw in 2 places, hes thrown hot coffee over me, kicked me, spat on me, called me all the names under the sun in front of people, isolated me from friends and family and essentially, controlled every single part of my life.
I KNOW he loved me but what he did to me and what he expected of me was way too much and on top of that I was essentially looking after the kids pretty much by myself anyway as well as looking after his care needs because of his health while he totally ignored the fact that I suffer from chronic pain conditions and bipolar.
I dunno, its so sad. I reached a point where I felt I deserved it.
Hes a great Dad though and he should know me better than to prevent access to the children, they need him, thats what counts.
Anyway, whole thing is being sorted now, hopefully it will all be sorted by end of April. The solicitor expects it to be over and done with ASAP as long as I let it go undefended (he got in before me for filing divorce), so, I don't care what he says about me anymore, I know the truth and thats what counts and I want it done with ASAP, even if that means putting up with crappy things said about me.
Argh but very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say I'm sorry you are going through this!!! I've been divorced from my ex for 6 years now and I still get the name calling and whatever!! So, it's not just going to end.. I hope it all works out for you and the kids!!! Thats whats important! YOU AND YOUR KIDS!!!! I know it hurts when he calls you names and puts you down in front of people, I dealt with it for a ling time, but just keep your head up and think of your girls!!! You are going to make it through this and you will be better off in the long run!!! Good luck with everything!!!

Please don't think I was justifying his behavior or trying to make you feel sorry for him! ESPECIALLY not if he is abusive, rather than simply annoying. I depicted his side of things because you said you felt hurt. It's important to distinguish between times your feelings are hurt because you know you've screwed up and someone's rubbing your nose in it; vs. times someone is trying to make you feel hurt just because they feel that way.
I know you already have a lot on your plate. But if he has been dangerously physically abusive to you, you must seriously assess the wisdom of giving him unsupervised access to your daughters. He may not be abusive to them now while they're little, but could become so when they're older and he feels like he has less control over them. It sounds like he needs to feel like he controls people he loves and that he gets abusive when he's out of control. No father of teenage daughters has ever failed to feel out of control! Also, he will have girlfriends and seeing him be abusive to them could have disastrous effects on what your daughters consider acceptable treatment, in their own relationships as they get older.

Hi Jeanine, yeah, I understand. I guess I feel a bit defesive. Been kinda stressful cos he is now denying he offered me the chance of a break by taking the kids for a night or 2, he says he'll do it if its in my house but obviously, not gonna happen!!!!
I asked if he would take the youngest Thursday morning because I could be in hospital for up to 4 hours while they check me for cancer whatever and he said he would have to check his diary...... Gah.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh, men.
Thats it.
No men for a good long time. Had enough.
Thank you all though. I knew ex was a jerk but I guess I kinda hoped it was over lol (there I am, always optimistic and look where it gets me PMSL). Shoulda known better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in the US so I don't pretend to be an expert on how things are in the UK. I hear that you want everything to be over with but I am concerned that in your attempt to make life easier right now you might give up on things that will impact you and your children for years. Do you really want this man to have 50/50 custody of the children? The way he treats you will be the way he treats his female children. Men don't change. He is abusive and you want to protect your girls from that, the easiest time is now. He wants 50/50 custody to hurt you and to gain financial benefit. You will loose financial benefit by him having 50/50 custody.
You will probably have to go back to work. If you haven't worked for a long time it may be difficult for you to find a good paying job. You need to teach your girls to take care of thier belongings and help with the housework. You are not the maid. They need to learn to cook, do laundry, and everything so they can do their share and so they will know how when they are adults. It is hard being a single mom. I know, I did it with 3 boys for 20 years.
Try not to worry about the lump in your breast. Cancer is rare in young women. It is probably something like a fibroadenoma. I've had several lumps that turned out to be nothing. It's good to get checked out.

I am not allowed to work due to health, has its pro's and cons.
With the ex, the kids are his world, I know he wouldn't do anything to hurt them, hes so protective. It was me he didn't like.W
ith the 50/50 thing, its not just about me and the girls and the ex, its just about generally making life easier. Ex can't cope with sole custody because he has really crappy health, cos of my health, I need time out and we have no family whio can take them for a while instead (well, no family near by anyway). I trust him with the girls (although he won't be happy about some decisions I have made), he will do his best for them.
I dunno, say that a lot but I really do not know. Still processing!

Comments about Wildgame Innovations Pile Driver Game Feeder:
Bought this brand new from Gander Mountain. The ONLY parts not plastic are the screws and turn shaft. Was time consuming to put together. The quality control from the factory was terrible; was missing a screw in a set, no item descriptions (had to measure the different screws and figure out where they each went), one nut wasn't threaded for any of the bolts causing me to use one of my own to make it work, the timer diagram didn't match the timer in the box; had to figure out the wiring on my own; the timer is supposed to snap between two plastic clips and one of the clips was broken upon opening the box. A total waste of my time on this over priced door stop.

Women need estrogen, but estrogen levels diminish with age. In the short term, estrogen's departure leaves most women in a frequently overheated, uncomfortable state. In the long term, its exodus places their hearts, bones, and brains in harm's way. And conventional hormone replacement therapy, with its potentially distressing side effects and increased risk of breast cancer, doesn't provide a reassuring rescue. Faced with every menopausal woman's frightening estrogen dilemma, Nina Shandler discovered exciting news: Some foods contain estrogen. She headed straight for the kitchen and created this easy-to-swallow alternative. Part eating program, part cookbook, Estrogen: The Nat-ural Way shows women how to make fast, fun food using nature's estrogenic ingredients. From breakfast bars to soups, from main courses to desserts, Estrogen: The Natural Way provides a gentle yet effective version of estrogen replacement therapy.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Nina Shandler, Ed.D, is a licensed psychologist and family therapist who has counseled women, children, and families in private practice, clinics, and schools and presented workshops and lectures to parents, couples, and teachers. Her articles on psychology have appeared in… More about Nina Shandler

Product description
TWO LIVES tells the remarkable story of Seth's great uncle and aunt. His great uncle Shanti left India for medical school in Berlin in the 1930s and lodged with a German Jewish family. In the household was a daughter, Henny, who urged her mother 'not to take the blackie'. But a friendship developed and each managed to leave Germany and found their way to Britain as the Nazis rose to power. Shanti joined the army and lost his right arm at the battle of Monte Cassino, while Henny (whose family were to die in the camps) made a life for herself in her adopted country. After the war they married and lived the emigre life in north London where Shanti, despite the loss of his arm, became a much-loved dentist. During his own adolescence in England, Vikram Seth lived with Shanti and Henny and came to know and love them deeply. His is the third life in this story of TWO LIVES. This is also a book about history, encompassing as it does many of the most significant themes and events in the 20th century, whose currents are reflected in the lives of Shanti, Henny and their family: from the Raj and the Indian freedom movement to the Third Reich, the Holocaust and British postwar society.

This is an accomplished and profoundly moving work DAILY TELEGRAPH Written as an act of love and duty it is a testament to his modesty and familial affection. SUNDAT TIMES A fascinating and honest read. TRIBUNE Seth is a thorough biographer, but his considerable narrative skill is as evident here as it is in his fiction...
