Fuel efficiency drives semiconductor content in cars
Fuel-saving engines and hybrid drives have one thing in common: They make use of intelligent electronic controls to reduce fuel consumption. In the case of the all-electric vehicle, the need for electronic controls is inherent. All these factors drive the market for electronic components. During the current year, the global automotive IC market is poised to grow 8% to a total of $19.6 billion. By 2015, the market size will reach a value of $27.3 billion - a growth of 11% per year on average and well above the growth rates of other semiconductor markets. In particular electric vehicles are "chip sinks": In 2015, they will contain about twice as much semiconductors than conventional cars.
The average semiconductor content per vehicle will be about $380 in 2012, the researchers from IC Insights reckoned. This is 9% more than last year. During the time span from 2009 through 2015, the semiconductor content per vehicle will grow in lockstep with the market at a pace of 11% per year. IC Insights believes that electronic controls will increasingly be found not only in the luxury car segment but also in the medium and compact class; the trickle-down effect of advanced technologies to lower price segments happens faster than estimated.

Stubbies (brand)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2009)
Stubbies is the brand name for fashion shorts in Australia and New Zealand. The shorts were introduced in 1972 as short fashion shorts for men. Since then the range has expanded to include a range of styles of shorts and shirts for men, and shirts and schoolwear for boys and girls.
Stubbies has entered New Zealand and Australasian slang vocabulary, referred to in the Australian Macquarie Dictionary as "Short shorts of tough material for informal wear".
The brand was established in 1972 by clothing manufacturer Edward Fletcher and Co. More than 750,000 pairs of Stubbies were sold across Australia in that first year. The company later changed its name to Stubbies because of the success of this line. The company was bought out by US-based Sara Lee Corporation in 1990 and moved offshore. Pacific Dunlop (now Pacific Brands) acquired Sara Lee Apparel Australasia in 2001 and brought the company back to Australia.
Stubbies also make schoolwear for boys and girls, and a line of casual footwear.

Also, emptying the tank I would get a little run out of the tap but then it would stop. Releasing the fuel cap would start the flow again).
During the running in I wasn't bothering to open the fuel cap because I thought the vents were clear.
OK, so you need to fix or replace the cap.
What does a leaky crankcase do that would cause this? Again, apologies. I'm learning as we go :).
An air leak on a 2 stroke will make a lean condition that could cause a seizure. If the seal on the clutch side leaks you will suck oil out of your transmission.
Yes it is a rotary valve with the carb inside the engine case. I have heard of leaks between the carb and the mount before. Again, would this cause this cutting out condition?
Maybe not so much at the carb and mount, but check that, but the rotary valve may have seals that leak. I don't know if that would allow air or oil or what to leak past.
The loading up does clean up after a couple of accelerations, thanks.
When in doubt, gas it.
One more thing to check. Pull the baffle out of the muffler and make sure the openings are clear. If it is clogged, may cause it to run crappy in the higher RPM's.
I really hope I don't need to split the case.
Me too.
Thanks again.

Warning for HD renters @ Blockbuster
For those who know, I work at Blockbuster as a shift manager or manager on duty. We are just now getting our HD-DVD/Blu-Ray shipments in and are about to put them on shelves. Actually, if your local BB doesn't carry them yet, they should within the next handful of weeks.
IF you do rent either format from Blockbuster, think again. A memo got passed around to different stores and turns out, when you turn in a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc, managers have to carefully inspect the discs for ANY type of change in the condition of the disc. If there is a change in the condition, you get charged $40-$50 on the spot!
Do I agree with this new policy? Oh yes. Most people bring back movies with Coke rings (no, not drugs lol), baby-puke on the disc and even GASOLINE all over the casing and disc!!! My boss is just too whimpy to charge the customer for the movie.
So, just a heads up for all of you BB renters. If I could suggest anything, go take your money to Hollywood Video or just SOMEWHERE ELSE. Don't support Blockbuster!!!!

Command line user management
Linux is a multiuser system: many users can work at the same machine at the same time on separate accounts. In this month's column, we take a close look at how to create and manage Linux user accounts from the command line.
Multiuser systems neatly separate individual user workspaces. You can save your own files by assigning appropriate access privileges. The typical Unix/ Linux paradigm of having a separate account for administrative tasks (root) helps prevent the possibility of user errors that might otherwise take down the whole system.
The system administrator, root, is the boss of the whole system; a user needs root privileges to run the commands for setting up and managing user accounts that we will be looking at in this article. After discussing the most important configuration files, we will take an in-depth look at the useradd, usermod, and userdel tools, which allow us to create, manage, and delete accounts.

The Venice Recreation Center is a place for many forms of exercise. Its facilities include a weight pin, a skate park, basketball, handball and paddle tennis courts, and the famed muscle beach. The center is frequented by many skilled athletes and home to many challenging and sometimes obscure sports. These factors may seem daunting for a newcomer, but the few that train there are unconcerned by the spectacle they might create on the highly trafficked boardwalk that winds through the property. Coordinator Fred Ealey provides equipment such as punching bags or basketballs, and welcomes anyone to partake. Competitors can argue or get heated in a game but at the end of the day, sportsmanship wins. Ealey says there's never a dull moment at the center.

I used to be worried about Swine Flu till I got a little bottle of Oinkment.
I used to be worried about Swine Flu till I got a little bottle of Oinkment.
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
A lot of people are going to have to back up their words if they ever said "when pigs fly"
I think a lot of people are not scared because of the whole crying wolf thing and been there done that with other diseases. 2nd case here in Columbus, a worker at OSU med center has it now.
I'm a bit concerned.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
Not to sound like a jerk but do you guys even know what WHO's level 5 means?
And throwing the word "pandemic" out there like it means "apocalyptic plague" is pretty irresponsible, too. Pandemic simply means a widespread (continental or global), sudden outbreak of a disease. Technically, isn't flu season always a "pandemic"?
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
The current phase of alert is 3, on a scale of 1 to 6. A full-blown pandemic, level 6, denotes sustained, human-to-human spread over many countries of a new and serious virus.
Here are details of the six phases:
Predominantly animal infections: few human infections
No animal influenza virus circulating among animals is reported to cause infection in animals.
Animal influenza virus is known to have caused infection in humans and is therefore a potential pandemic threat
Animal or human-animal influenza virus causes sporadic cases or clusters of cases in people, but no human-to-human transmission, except in specific circumstances
Sustained human-to-human transmissions
Human to human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza virus able to sustain community-level outbreaks
"The ability to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a community marks a significant upwards shift in the risk for a pandemic."
Widespread human infection
* PHASE 5: The same virus causes sustained community-level outbreaks in two or more countries in one region
"While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalise the organisation, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short."
The virus causes sustained community-level outbreaks in more than one region
"Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way."
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Worried? Well, I live in the developed world, so no. However, I am concerned that this thing will spread and kill thousands in the developing world. Someone mentioned that thousands die from the regular flu each year, and it's my understanding that swine flu is basically the same as the other flu types in terms of symptoms and lethality, but that once spreading human to human it has the potential to spread very quickly. For us in the US, that might mean many, many people getting the flu and just like with the regular flu, the deaths will be in the very young and the elderly. In the developing world, the lethality could be much higher.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Make sure you're getting accurate information. As late as yesterday, the WHO was reporting on 7 confirmed deaths from swine flu. Not hundreds. The number of deaths has been grossly exaggerated in the past days. This is not to say the total won't rise dramatically, but right now it's no where near the level of even the regular seasonal flu.
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and 4,000 hits."
-Pete Rose
I'm not really worried about it. Ohio State has its first case, it's actually a worker at the OSU Med Center. Now THAT could be a problem... It's probably much more likely to effect the very young, very old, and very sick. It's certainly a serious thing, but from a personal standpoint I don't worry about getting it.
The word pandemic conjures up images of a Hollywood apocalypse, the Andromeda Strain or Dustin Hoffman in a hazmat suit, but it's really just a narrow definition of who gets it and in how many countries, not how serious it is.
The fact that the numbers are so small means they can be reported one by one, giving each one more attention. Can you imagine regular flu cases reported every hour by CNN?
In other words, it's a concept familiar to most baseball fans: Small sample size.
pandemic" has a number of different meanings ranging from purely technical to full blow catastrophe. The media has gotten addicted to "terror in the streets" reporting and so they blow up the catastrope angle. It's what sells unfortunately.
Really the simple "wash your hands" goes a long way. Cover your mouth when coughing, etc. All those things your mother told you. Even something as simple as a staph infection can kill you (tragically happened to the very talented Jim Henson). I've always found it interesting that many of the so called purity laws in ancient scriptures throughout the world are often matters that are just good health practice. Don't eat pork? Pork often carried these sort of germs and, as we read on every package of meat, require proper handling and sufficient cooking. Hence ancient people who didn't know the microbial world we now do, made them "laws" to see that people kept clean. So wash your hands, etc.

Best adventure bike for a picky ole fart?
I'm 50+ & considering my first adventure bike. I've ridden a Goldwing for years (which I'll most likely keep...unless the adv bike completely satisfies), but I want a bike that provides more opportunities for exploring back roads. I estimate that 80% (or more) of my riding will be on pavement, and the other 20% will be on relatively decent dirt/gravel rural roads. Only occasionally will I have a rider on back (less than 2% of the time). I like to take meticulous care of my bikes & keep them washed & polished, but at the same time, I'm not afraid to get them (temporarily) dusty or dirty while exploring. So, having said that, I'm not the kind of rider that's going to be taking my bike down through the woods on narrow trails or slopping through the swamp with mud up to the axles…just the occasional pot-hole riddled dirt or gravel road…and, if I'm lucky, maybe a trip from the deep south where I live to Prudhoe Bay or some other once-in-a-lifetime dream trip like that. With that in mind, here's my must-have (or what I feel are must-haves) list:
* Relatively large motor (1000+ cc)
* Relatively large bike
* Shaft-drive
* Electronic cruise control, if possible (the Goldwing spoiled me!)
* "Lazy Boy" comfortable seat
* Butter smooth engine with no handlebar buzz or vibrating mirrors
* Very predictable off-road manners
* Bullet proof & "stupid" reliability/dependability. Other than routine maintenance, I, basically, want to put gas in it & RIDE. No valve adjustments, no taking it to the dealer, or crap like that.
Here are some of the bikes that I've considered, but most have been eliminated because they don't meet the criteria on my wish list:
* Triumph XC: I hear it has a s-m-o-o-t-h engine, but it was eliminated because it has chain drive & a relatively small engine (although I probably could have learned to live with the 800 engine).
* Ducati MS: probably too fast/zippy for an ole fart like me (although I would welcome the opportunity to learn to live with that :-)), but eliminated because I read that Ducati has spotty reliability
* Triumph Explorer: once again, smooth & revvy engine, but I read that it sucks off road…way too front heavy…front bogs down…goes where it wants to
* Moto Guzzi Stelvio: I read several reviews, and it sounded great…until I read that it vibrates like a son-of-a-gun. Handlebars vibrate so bad that your hands go numb, and mirrors vibrate so bad that they're worthless
* KTM 990: chain drive
* BMW GS/GSA: THIS WAS MY TOP CHOICE. I LOVE THE STYLING & LOOKS…but I won't even consider one because of the absurdly high cost of ownership and maintenance (from what I've read).
* Honda Crosstourer: Hondas have served me very well for decades, so the CT just might be the ticket...if they ever bring it to the US.
* Yamaha Super Tenere: If Honda doesn't bring the CT to the US (and even if they do), then I'm looking strongly at the S10. Some call it boring with "no soul", but from what I've read, it sounds like a great bike that meets most of the criteria on my wish list.
I welcome any & all comments. Don't hesitate to "rake me over the coals" if you think my logic is flawed or for any other reason that you care to comment on. I look forward to hearing from all of you, b/c the more information that I have, the better decision I'll be able to make on my bike purchase. Thanks.
I think what you could be looking for is the Yamaha Super Tenere.
At first I was a little perplexed "gravel roads, shaft-drive, arm chair comfortable" - huh? :huh
But I think I see where you're coming from now. Yamaha's are really reliable and from what I've heard the S10 is surprisingly able in the dirt despite it's size. You'd need to get some kind of custom screen like the madstad though since the stock one is pretty horrible for road use from what I've heard.
If you can accept chain-drive the F800GS is also a great all-rounder: more user-friendly than say a 990Adv and much simpler and cheaper to keep than a 1200GS.
Question though: will you be keeping the gold wing? Because if you're keeping the wing I would get something MUCH smaller and lighter instead to complement the wing. Buy if you're selling the wing I understand....
I wouldn't discount the Ducati because of reliability. Both my 2010 MTS 1200S's (first one totaled) have been very reliable, closing in on 50,000 miles.
Cost of ownership is not low, however. But cruise control is available.
Just MHO.
To me this reads like the wish list of a "spec buyer".
You're coming from a Goldwing, don't even know the adventure bikes or how riding them (especially the "large ones with the big engines") feels, on road or on dirt.
I think your list reads like you should just keep the Goldwing and put decent suspension on.
Other than that: go to the dealers and test ride. Then buy what makes you smile. Not what sounds good on papers and in reviews/tests. Everybody is different, you are different from all of us and the description you're giving is in my opinion useless as it is build from dreams and wishes and not from riding experience on adventure bikes.
Btw: I owned a 2009 BMW F800GS (great bike, annoyed me with buffeting), a 2010 BWM R1200GS (awesome bike, but heavy and big), and now own a Tiger 800 (Road version).
I actually hate chain maintenance, but in reality I don't give it too much thought just keep it adjusted properly and put some DuPont teflon lube on whenever I feel like it, so I'll just have to replace it a bit earlier - big deal. I like big and comfy bikes, the Tiger is smaller and more agile, I like that better nowadays. Recently I test rode a 2013 R1200GS (water cooled) and the handling felt dog slow to me. And the (standard) suspension sucked compared to a Traxxion/Öhlins equipped Tiger. Sure, the bike had lots of power - I'd use that about 0.05% of the time. I have nothing to prove, no need for big power, I like having fun, cruising around, burning some rubber from time to time, but I mostly just ride, so I'm good with the "small" engine (still 95HP).
Really, in your position, you seem to be able to buy any bike you like, so why do you limit yourself without even knowing ANY of them? All of them are great bikes and coming from a Wing, I'd rather try them out and buy what I like most instead of doing spec shopping.
I don't think your idea of 'Off Road' (" just the occasional pot-hole riddled dirt or gravel road ") will really be a problem for the Tiger Exporer. Any reports of 'sucks off road' I'm sure refer to much more technical riding than a dirt road with a few pot holes. I wouldn't count it out based on that alone, as it seems to match all your other criteria nicely.
Mirrors is a US problem, easily fixed by installing the EU indicators and mirrors.
Yeah you can feel some vibration, but it's a motorbike not an electric scoot. Never had numb hands or anything.
Since 50+ as you say makes you an ole fart I guess I'm almost there as well at 47... so my suggestion is: testride some adv bikes, even the ones you might have ruled out already and get the one that makes you feel 32 again. If it has a chain? So what, it'll take 5 minutes every other day to take care of it. We're both too old to waste our time riding on boring bikes, don't ya think?
To further their point I might also add that some of the most die-hard adventure riders on this forum do serious week long excursions on nothing but a Yamaha WR250R and they love it. They think it's the best thing since sliced bread and that it tours at 65mph all day in absolute comfort.
When I get old and wise enough I'm going to be that strange old dude riding a WR250R and I'm going to be blissfully happy doing it - I can feel it.
Why not just keep the gold wing and buy something silly like a Honda CRF250L to play with? Several people in your position have.
I'm in my 50s as well. Originally my wish list would have been similar to yours.
Sold my Strom and bought the Tenere. The thing that changed the most was
the off road intent. These things are so surprising on the off road capability end.
Been to Prudhoe on the Strom. The Tenere would have been a nicer bike all the
way around to do that ride on. Destroyed the Strom chain in the mud. Got lucky
on finding a replacement chain. I too wanted a shaft after that.
It's no Gold Wing on the vibration end. Seems a little hit and miss. Some owners
have complained of unacceptable vibration that got better with miles. I've always
felt mine was fine....not vibration free, but comfortable enough to not be a consideration.
Of course I'm biased. I've read good things on the big Triumph. If it were me doing it again
I'd try one of those too. For now very happy with the S10.
Thanks for your reply. Based on what you said, I take it that the F800GS requires MUCH less maintenance & fussing over than either a 1200GS or GSA? I can handle routine maintenance, but I have zero tolerance for any brand of bike that requires more than occasional trips to the dealer. Thx.
It's a very nice bike for sure.
What's your budget?? Your a youngster at 50, Keep in mind it is all downhill to 60 :cry.
Wee and V-Stroms are fine, reliable, economical, comfortable with a few ergo adjustments if needed. cug had great thoughts on chains.
I was in the same Goldwing cult syndrome, sold that hippo in running shoes for several sport tourers but could never get comfortable (I'm 6'3") and ended up with a "11 GSA and love it. Yes it can be heavy/top heavy if full of fuel but rides better than anything out there and is very capable if you are off-road. Is it butter smooth??, not as much as an inline 4 but has a nice feel for me and I like the torque. So far it has not given me a bit of grief and I do not expect any. I easily do all the maintenance myself, Yes it is recommended every 6k miles but not an issue for me.
Go look in person, touch, feel, sit on them all and ride the ones you can. One of them will start to trip your trigger then you may need to find that lazy boy seat to fit it.
Thanks for your reply. About the vibration, I assume you're referring to the S10? If so, I'm surprised...because none of the S10 reviews I read mentioned ANY vibration. Me thinks that my Goldwing has spoiled me on lots of things, including vibration...which is almost non-existent on the Wing. BTW, did I understand you to say that you encountered LOTS of mud on the trip to Prudhoe?
Thanks for your reply. When you say maintenance every 6k, are you talking about anything other than oil changes? What about valve adjustments? Is that difficult? I'm reasonably mechanical (but definitely not a full-fledged wrench), and I can handle relatively small jobs...and could probably handle valve adjustments if necessary. But I'd rather have a bike that doesn't even require valve adjustments.
If you have a chance to read the link I provided above you will see several owners
complained of high vibration levels. Very random. You can also check out the
Tenere site and do a quick search yamahasupertenere.com. Most seem to find a
solution with putting miles on the bike. I have done the reflash of the ECU as well and
recommend that modification.

36 year old woman | Altamonte Springs, FL, USA | Seeking men 31-40 within 50 miles
Looking for the real deal
iHmmmm what to say....? Hi! I am back in the scary and confusing world of dating and decided online was a new way of trying this. About me, I recently finalized my divorce but have been single for a Year and a half. I am outgoing,talkative,fun, sarcastic and enjoy trying new things. I am a single mother of two,own my own home, and pay my own bills. I respect honesty and am upfront. If you have ever wondered what your lady wants or are clueless about what she means have no fear I'm the type of woman where you will never have to guess, you will always know where you stand. COMMUNICATION is a must for any successful relationship. What I am looking for... A good man, nice looking, confident, with an outstanding personality. He has to enjoy life, be able to laugh, and enjoy family and children. If you are a child, a thug want to be, or a senior citizen I am not the woman for you. Games are for teenagers and Im not interested in reliving the glory days. Honesty, Loyalty, and a Passion for life is a must have for my other half. My faults are no more or less than the next person. i am loyal to a fault and have a giving nature but have found people who like to abuse this. I can curse like a sailor, tend to blurt out what i am thinking, and unfortunately smoke. I am trying to quit but it is hard and often takes multiple attempts. Men always wonder why women search for a man with a job, a car, and a home and it is because we want a man to want us for who we are, not need what we can provide. I have no preference on your job just that you have one, I dont care about the make of your car please just own one, and i dont care about how many homes or how big your place is just dont live at home with your parents. And for all those men who say no drama let me assure you that anyone that has lived life has had drama. It is not a question of having drama but whether you allow it to become the focus of your life or allow it to control your life. As I said I have children but please dont worry; they have a father who is active in their lives. I do not do drugs, I do not have any outstanding warrants or on probation, I am not unintelligent and can carry on conversation about an array of subjects. please have the courtesy of have the same IF ALL OF THE ABOVE HAS NOT SCARED YOU MAKING YOU RUN SCREAMING FOR THE HILLS THEN MESSAGE ME WE MIGHT BE A PERFECT MATCH!

Prep Work Requirements for Clay Tiled Roofs
This article describes the requirements for battens on clay tile roofs, and how to stack and lay out tiles for roof installation. This article series discusses best practices in the selection and installation of residential roofing. This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons.
Batten Specifications for Clay Tiled Roofs
Tiles with projecting head lugs can be installed either directly on the deck or with the lugs fitting over pressure-treated wooden battens nailed horizontally across the roof.
Roof tile battens are typically nominal 1x2 or 1x4 lumber, but they may be larger to accommodate snow loads or unsupported spans over counterbattens.
[Click to enlarge any image]
Battens for use on clay tile roofs should be made from pressure-treated lumber except in very dry climates.
Clay tile roof battens are nailed at minimum 24 inches on-center with spaces for drainage every 48 inches. Lay out battens to provide equal courses with a minimum 3-inch head-lap, unless the tile profile is designed for a specific head-lap.
Watch out: as Smith (NRCA) pointed out, battens shimmed off of the roof deck should be supported 12" o.c. to avoid sagging. -Ed.
Fasten the roof battens with 8d galvanized nails or corrosion-resistant 1 1/2-inch 16-gauge staples with 7/16-inch crowns.
Battens under clay roofing tiles are recommended on roof slopes greater than 7:12 to provide solid anchoring and on slopes below 3:12 to minimize penetration of the underlayment. On low slopes and in areas subject to ice damming, counterbattens nailed vertically up the roof slope are also recommended to promote drainage.
Counterbattens on clay tiled roofs should be minimum 1/4 x 2 inches thick in moderate climates, 3/4 inch thick in areas subject to ice damming. When battens are nailed directly to the deck, allow a 1/2 -inch gap every 4 feet or set the battens on minimum 1/4 -inch shims placed at each nail (see Figure 2-21 above).
Layout and Stacking Specifications for Tiled Roofs
Lay out the courses so that tile exposures are equal with a head-lap of at least 3 inches (unless the tile specifies a different lap).
Snap lines on the underlayment along the top of each course or along each batten. One or more vertical lines can also be helpful in keeping the tiles aligned. Accurate layout is critical with most tile patterns.
Next, carry tiles up to the roof and distribute the weight equally across the roof, as tiles weigh as much as 10 pounds each.
Depending on the tile, stacks of about 6 to 10 tiles is workable. Our photos (above-left - DF) shows roof tiles stacked and ready for installation in Mesquite Cove AZ.
If mixing different colored tiles, arrange bundles with the correct proportions on the ground before stacking them on the roof.

Tile Roof Batten Options from NRCA
In the 1990's NRCA's Thomas Smith noted that a paper published in the Proceedings of the 10th Conference on Roofing Technology expressed concern for the lack of conservative roofing industry guidelines for the components of tile roofing systems in the U.S. The recommendations in the then-current NRCA Steep Roofing and Waterproofing Manual indeed included recommendations for tile roof underlayment, fasteners, and metal flashings, but Smith noted that these were "non-conservative" for many areas in the United States (and other locations of challenging weather).
Smith posed some interim batten options to improve the life of tile roof systems, including

Between IPods, rovers on Mars and gene specific cures for various ailments it's easy to think that we are at the pinnacle of human history. We can easily be convinced that all that preceded us was mere prelude to our incomparable achievements….and then you have an epiphany where you realize we aren't all that innovative or exceptional.
Read yesterday's New York Times' article about a map on display at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. It was created by a Jesuit priest, Matteo Ricci, who lived in China in 1602—-a mere 110 years after Columbus
The map he created for the Chinese Emperor is of the world, but you need only see the cartography of North America. It's uncanny. Baja California, Florida, the Great Lakes, the Yucatan, Cuba are all in the right place in very much the right relative proportions.
Father Ricci didn't have satellites, radar, or photos—-just the recollections and information provided by explorers of the New World—- and some genius. He did an amazing job. It's quite extraordinary and humbling...could we come close to understanding the world around us stripped of virtually all of our fancy gadgets and tools?

Healthy work lunches (or school lunches) are so important in sticking to a healthy eating plan.
And I have some tips and recipe ideas to keep you on track this fall.
Portable. Unless you work/study from home, you'll need to take your lunch with you.
Grain or bean salads are my favorites for packing up to go, and they have a chance to absorb the flavors of the dressing all morning.
Soup can also travel well, if you take it frozen solid or hot in a tightly-sealed container or thermos.
Low-Smell. If you eat in a lunch room or class, you don't want something that others will wrinkle their noses at.
Peanut butter smells good to me, but it does carry pretty far and also has the potential of being a dangerous allergen.
You also might want to be conscious of not having foods that will carry on your breath all day, like garlic and onions.
Looks Delicious. If you're eating healthy foods for lunch, you want to make everyone jealous rather than feeling sorry for you.
Veggie burgers, wraps, leftover soup or pasta - these are all things that will have your coworkers or fellow students drooling.
Not Gassy. It's always terrible if you have to hold in gas after a meal until you get home from work or class.
Beans can be a problem if they make up too much of your meal, but are fine if you have them in smaller portions.
Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) and onions can be disastrous if you have too many in one sitting - especially when they're raw.
Tofu, soy milk and dried fruits are some others that always give me gas. Do you find that, too?
Weight Loss. If you're trying to lose weight, lunch out with friends or coworkers is such an easy way to stray off course.
Healthy lunch choices are so important to reaching your goals. It might not seem like a big deal, but a bad choice at lunch can make a huge difference.
You don't have to eat perfectly healthy all the time to lose weight, but the trouble with lunch is that it very easily becomes a habit to eat out.
Gain Energy. If you eat healthy food for lunch, you're giving your body fuel and energy for the rest of your afternoon.
If you're prone to the 3 o'clock slump, try having healthy lunch meals and see what it difference it makes.
I used to crash on my desk mid-afternoon - literally could not keep my head up or my eyes open - when I ate crappy food for lunch.
Now I stay alert and productive through the afternoon, and that's even when I feel most energized to do my strength workouts.
Save Money. As cheap as fast food seems, it's always cheaper to make your own lunch from healthy whole foods.
You might pay more up front when you go grocery shopping, but when you average out the number of meals you make it's much more affordable.
What I mean by whole foods, by the way, is fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. Stick to that stuff and your food costs will go down.
Feel Awesome. When you eat healthy work lunches, your body gets the nutrients and energy it needs so you feel fantastic.
You also start feeling good about yourself because you're doing something beneficial for your body.
It's a positive feedback cycle that just keeps getting better - something pretty rare in our world of so many negative feedback loops.
I had trouble narrowing down this list to just 6 easy healthy lunch ideas because once you get in the habit, there are so many options...
Those are some specific healthy lunch recipes for work or school, but you can also think of them in broad categories:
If you get yourself in the habit of making the same types of meals, it gets faster to put together easy healthy lunches.
Take a can of beans, chop up three types of veggies, put a dressing on it and then separate it in three lunch-size containers and you have three days worth of lunches ready.
Variety's important, though, so taking leftovers from last night's dinner is a really popular way to always have quick healthy work lunches.
I always get questions about reheating food. My favorite way is to put it in a toaster oven. But I also love eating leftovers cold, so you might want to ask yourself if you really need to heat your lunch.
I'm the kind of girl who finds fresh veggies with a yummy dressing just about the most fun thing to eat, and I could have that every single day without getting sick of it.
However, I know that not everyone is as crazy as I am, so to make your lunch more fun and exciting for you to eat it instead of being lured to fast food, put your favorite foods in your lunch.
If you love pineapple, put a few tidbits in your salad. If you would die for peanut butter, make a dressing with peanut butter. If you have an addiction to avocado, put some in there.
If you really like fun lunch bags or boxes, there are tons of great ones. And there are more cool options for food containers (glass, stainless steel) and portable cutlery (bamboo) - or try chopsticks!
A lot of times, I like to have a little lunch dessert, because I never want dessert after dinner. A bit of fruit, a couple of dates, a bite of chocolate...
Some little treat after a healthy lunch can make you feel totally decadent and special.
Try to get outside! I feel so much happier when I eat lunch outside rather than inside. Not possible in the winter, but at least see if you can eat somewhere with a window.
Another important thing to keep in mind is how your lunch is going to look when you get to the point of eating it...
I love having salad for lunch, but lettuce will wilt if it sits with dressing for too long.
I like to toss the veggies and beans or grains with dressing to marinate, and then bring greens in a separate bag or container to add when I eat.
Or, if you use kale, spinach, chard or some other sturdy green they'll hold up and be deliciously soft and flavored by lunch time.
The same thing goes if you take a pita, wrap or bread with your lunch. Veggies that are too moist can leave your bread a soggy mess, so take it on the side and assemble at work.
I try to think about making my lunch easy to eat, especially if I'm going to be eating with other people. I don't want to have to stuff my face and make a mess - unless the others are into that.
My choices tend to be bean or grain salads with veggies chopped to small-ish pieces to fit in my mouth on a fork.
What are your favorite healthy lunch meals? Let me know below.

Healthy. Vegan. Delicious.

Orange Freeze
|4 Large
|Low fat vanilla ice cream
|1⁄2 Pint (300 Milliliter)
|8 Ounce (225 Gram)
|Icing sugar
|3 Ounce, sifted (75 Gram)
|Redcurrant sprigs
|3 Ounce (For Decoration)
1. Set the freezer to rapid freeze. Using a sharp knife carefully cut the lid off each orange.
2. Scoop out the flesh from the orange, discarding any pips and thick pith.
3. Place the shells and lids in the freezer and chop any remaining orange flesh.
4. Whisk together the orange juice, orange flesh and vanilla ice cream, until well blended.
5. Cover and freeze, for about 2 hours, occasionally breaking up the ice crystals with a fork or a whisk. Stir the mixture from around the edge of the container into the centre, then level and return to the freezer. Do this 2-3. times then leave until almost frozen solid.
6. Place a large scoop of the ice cream mixture into the frozen shells. Add another scoop on top, so that there is plenty outside of the orange shell and return to the freezer for 1 hour.
7. Arrange the lids on top and freeze for a further 2 hours, until the filled orange shell is completely frozen solid.
8. Meanwhile, using a nylon sieve press the raspberries into a bowl using the back of a wooden spoon and mix together with the icing sugar. Spoon the raspberry coulis on to 4 serving plates and place an orange at the centre of each. Dust with icing sugar and serve decorated with the redcurrants. Remember to return the freezer to its normal setting.

Last week, I talked about where this paper doll set was inspired from. This week, I want to talk a bit about color choices.
Color scares a lot of people. It scares me too. Truthfully, I use a lot of tools to help me develop color schemes. Some are as simple as searching Colour Lovers for a theme, but other times I use tools from ColourLovers to calculate diferent types of color schemes. My other favorite color scheme website is Design Seeds.
Normally, I try to keep my color schemes to five or six colors. There just aren't enough pieces in the average paper doll set to justify more colors then than that. Even today's set with all the pattern has only seven different colors, not including the warm soft brown of her skin tone. Choosing a skintone color is actually just as important as selecting a color scheme, because depending on the surrounding colors, all colors look different. I tend to think of the skintone choice as part of the color scheme selection, just as much as I am picking out colors for clothing, but I do try to keep to my palette, except with Asian skintones that generally have a strong yellow undertone. That can be very hard to not look jaundiced, so there's often trial and error when I am coloring those paper dolls.
In today's paper doll, I knew I wanted a rainbow scheme and I wanted it to feel a little bit like candy- bright and sweet colors. Pink stands in for my red, but other then that I have a purple, a blue, a yellow, an orange and a green. White acts as a neutral, rather than black, and that keeps the set feeling light and bright. The only black appears as the soles of her boots. Her nails are multicolored as are her hair ties to keep the sense of mismatched style.
I really am quite pleased with how she turned out.

Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s stock plummeted nearly 9 percent Monday after Reuters reported on a series of emails that detailed possible collusion with another oil and natural gas company ahead of a 2010 land auction in Michigan.
Chesapeake stock drops after report of land plot
"The allegations expose both companies to potential fines and claims for damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars and put Chesapeake's beleaguered CEO Aubrey McClendon at the forefront of yet another corporate scandal," Morningstar analyst Mark Hanson wrote in a note to clients.
The Reuters report indicates McClendon directed Chesapeake to work with rival Canadian company Encana Corp. to reduce the cost of land in Michigan's developing Collingwood play two years ago.
Officials from the two companies allegedly discussed ways to avoid bidding against each other in a public auction and negotiations with at least nine landowners.
Harry First, a former antitrust lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice, described the email exchanges as a "smoking H-bomb" that could result in criminal charges, according to Reuters.
Chesapeake said Monday it had explored a potential joint venture with Encana in 2010 to secure Michigan leases, but the companies never made any joint bids.
Encana officials told Reuters the company has launched an internal investigation.

On January 1st we can start a clean slate and draft our ever crucial new year's resolutions. Whether or not we actually achieve those goals is another matter (we've yet to do 2012's spring cleaning). Nevertheless, it's always a fun challenge to set them for ourselves…and also for our friends in Hollywood. Just like us, our celebs could use a little goal setting for 2013. Just like your mother says, we do it because we love you. Here's our resolutions to the stars, and -most importantly- Happy New Year!
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling – We know one of Hollywood's hottest couples is costarring in The Place Beyond the Pines in 2013 together. However, after watching the two show their comedy chops in the latest Drunk History clips, we cannot wait to see more of these two collaborate. We know the duo has some off screen chemistry, and the silver screen may not even be able to handle the hotness between them. We have a proposition for these two for 2013: more projects together, please!
Charlie Sheen – Well we thought this guy was gone forever, but Charlie Sheen keeps finding a way to slither his way back into the spotlight. Last Friday night, at the opening of his restaurant in Cabo San Lucas, he apparently greeted his guests with homophobic slurs. What a welcoming gesture! Charlie's resolution for 2013? Stay out of the spotlight. We've all had enough.
Ryan Lochte – As you know, we love Ryan Lochte. He had us at his good looks, charm, and his strong showing at this year's London Olympics. With eleven medals around his neck and Miss Universe on his arm, It's safe to say Lochte had a good year in 2012. Hey, he even started a new catchphrase in America: Jeah! Since Lochte is clearly such a wordsmith, we challenge him to find an equally as enduring phrase for 2013.
Taylor Swift – America's sweetheart is famous for using her relationships as material for her lovelorn lyrics and catchy songs. This year she's been seen with younger men Conor Kennedy and now One Direction frontman Harry Styles. Before she gets super cozy with her British lad, we have one resolution for Taylor in 2013: hold off on the real estate. You may have coincidentally wanted to buy property near the Kennedy compound ("Omg, Conor! You live here too?"), you may just have so much extra cash lying that you decided you wanted to buy a house on a whim because you could…but if, for some wild reason, you bought the house to be closer to your 18 year old boyfriend of a couple of months, we have some advice going into this new relationship with Harry: take it easy! Harry Styles still has acne on his forehead – the last thing he is thinking about is settling down. We know you can buy property whenever you want, but save the house hunting for your 2020 resolution.
Beyonce – We cannot get enough of Bey, her overall amazing talent, fierce style, and, of course, her daughter, Blue Ivy. We just want to see more of the little Carter! Blue turns 1 in January, and we are already putting the candle in the cake for this celebration. We know she is going to have the coolest birthday ever…at least Jay-Z and Beyonce will be making appearances! So we ask simply of Bey to post more Instagram photos of her daughter. We're already obsessed with the beautiful portraits we've seen so far displaying Bey's maternal side, and we simply want more!
Prince Harry – The royal party boy suffered some royal embarrassment after naked photos leaked of him during his stay in Las Vegas over the summer. Clearly what happened in Vegas didn't stay there. We understand, it's difficult to let loose when the camera is on you twenty-four-seven, but try to bring some extra boxers when you're out and about. I'm sure you have some butler who could hold it for you. That way, the next time you are getting plastered and walking nude at the Encore Wynn, you can quickly slip into your princely Hanes.
Jessica Chastain – She may be the hardest working actress in Hollywood today, acting in at least ten movies between 2011 and 2012. While she's been promoting her latest film, Zero Dark Thirty, she has also been headlining Broadway in The Heiress. Our New Year's resolution for Jessica? Take some vacation time! You've clocked in so many hours these past two years, you could make any workaholic look like a 20-something slacker. Relax, unwind, and revel in all of your accomplishments this past year. We know you'll be in back front of the camera in no time.
Clint Eastwood – Clint got everyone talking after his bizarre appearance at the Republican National Convention when he brought a chair on stage and pretended he was speaking to an invisible President Obama. Our thoughts on the matter? Clint just had an extra chair lying around his house and decided to utilize it for his Mitt Romney endorsement. Resolution for Clint: Hire an interior decorator for your house! Since you have so much extraneous furniture, I'm sure your new designer could help you put it to good use. Not only will your feng shui improve, but maybe you'll even feel happier about the state of the union.

- 90% of genotype 2 or 3 patients achieve undetectable HCV RNA levels following 4 weeks of treatment with R7128 1500mg BID with Pegasys(R) plus
Copegus(R) - - Safety and tolerability comparable to placebo administered with Pegasys
plus Copegus -
PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmasset, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRUS) announces the preliminary results of the fourth cohort of a 4-week Phase 1 proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluating R7128 1500mg twice daily (BID) in combination with the standard of care (SOC), Pegasys(R) (pegylated interferon) plus Copegus(R) (ribavirin) in 20 patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 or 3 who had not achieved a Sustained Viral Response (SVR) with prior SOC therapy. R7128, a prodrug of PSI-6130, is a nucleoside analogue polymerase inhibitor of HCV that is being developed through Pharmasset's collaboration with Roche.
In this study, preliminary results indicated that R7128 demonstrated
significant short-term antiviral activity in patients who were previous
non-responders or relapsers to treatment and was generally safe and well
tolerated. Of the 25 patients enrolled, 20 patients received R7128 1500mg
BID and 5 received placebo. Patients receiving R7128 1500mg BID with SOC
for 4 weeks achieved a mean 5.0 log10 HCV RNA decline and 90% (18 of 20)
achieved undetectable (<15 IU/ml) HCV RNA levels (RVR). Patients receiving
placebo with SOC for 4 weeks achieved a mean 3.7 log10 HCV RNA decline and
60% (3 of 5) achieved an RVR. These viral load reductions for patients with
genotype 2 or 3 are similar to those reported earlier for patients with
genotype 1 treated with 1000mg BID and 1500mg BID and

Back in the 1920s, the intelligentsia on both sides of the Atlantic were loudly protesting the execution of political radicals Sacco and Vanzetti, after what they claimed was an unfair trial. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote to his young leftist friend Harold Laski, pointing out that there were "a thousand-fold worse cases" involving black defendants, "but the world does not worry over them."
Holmes said: "I cannot but ask myself why this so much greater interest in red than black."
To put it bluntly, it was a question of whose ox was gored. That is, what groups were in vogue at the moment among the intelligentsia. Blacks clearly were not.
The current media and political crusade against "bullying" in schools seems likewise to be based on what groups are in vogue at the moment. For years, there have been local newspaper stories about black kids in schools in New York and Philadelphia beating up Asian classmates, some beaten so badly as to require medical treatment.
But the national media hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil. Asian Americans are not in vogue today, just as blacks were not in vogue in the 1920s.
It's 1943 and you find yourself in Germany. A Nazi officer is pointing a gun at you and demanding that you hop on a bulldozer and use it to bury hundreds of Jewish families who have been shot and are piled up in a huge pit. But among the dead are some individuals who are still living, crying out for mercy. What would you do, knowing that if you refuse to bury these people alive you will be gunned down yourself?
This is one of the thought-provoking questions that noted Christian apologist Ray Comfort asks a group of "pro-choice" individuals in the new online video 180, a movie that many in the pro-life movement argue is poised to radically change the debate about abortion.
In the movie, Comfort subtly juxtaposes the Hitler-led horror known as the Holocaust — which, by some accounts, stole the lives of more than six million Jews — with America's own abortion holocaust, that, conservatively, has claimed the lives of over 53 million unborn babies over the past 38 years.
The responses of the "pro-choice" individuals to the bulldozer question are varied. "I don't know," responds one lady with emotion.
A federal judge has ruled that individuals who signed a petition seeking the repeal of a 2009 Washington State law expanding homosexual partnerships have no right to keep their names private. The ruling prompted fears that radical homosexuals will follow through on promised retaliation against the individuals.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle ruled October 17 that Protect Marriage Washington (PMW), the conservative, pro-family group that had organized the petition drive, had not demonstrated "serious and widespread threats, harassment, or reprisals against the signers of R-71, or even that such activity would be reasonably likely to occur upon the publication of their names and contact information."
Referendum 71, which would have overturned the Washington law that gave domestic partners all the rights of married couples, was ultimately rejected by state voters by a 53 to 47 percent margin. "In the weeks after the referendum, several groups requested copies of the R-71 petition, which Protect Marriage used to place the referendum on the ballot," reported Courthouse News. "The initiative's conservative supporters sued Washington in 2009 to keep the names of 137,000 people who signed its petition secret, saying the release under the Washington's Public Records Act violated their civil rights and there was a 'reasonable probability' that signees would be harassed."
Newt Gingrich emerged as the winner of the October 22 Iowa Faith and Freedom Forum, if measured by the level of audience applause. The Christian-right audience gave the thrice-married Gingrich several rounds of loud applause and an enthusiastic standing ovation at the end of his address.
Gingrich — a former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives who began the presidential race with a devastating resignation by much of his campaign staff — had been judged not a viable candidate. He was even parodied several times on Saturday Night Live as a "curio from a bygone era." Yet Gingrich has gradually risen in the polls after performing well in recent debates, and has been scoring in the high single digits in national polls in recent weeks.
The national Faith and Freedom Coalition is run by former Pat Robertson functionary Ralph Reed, who served as head of Robertson's Christian Coalition. Both the Christian Coalition and the Faith and Freedom Coalition focus upon social issues such as the sanctity of marriage, abortion, and opposing the homosexual agenda.
The additional irony of the strong crowd enthusiasm for Gingrich (other than his personal life) is that the former House Speaker's record is far from the conservative crowd's well-known small government preferences. Gingrich's record has proven he's no friend of limited government, even though much of his rhetoric sounds good. As a Congressman, Gingrich voted with President Jimmy Carter to create the U.S.
Where does Herman Cain stand on abortion? In an October 19 interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, the GOP presidential candidate managed to paint himself into a corner on the issue, causing some conservative voters who had supported him to wonder if the self-described pro-life candidate is really subtly pro-choice.
Cain began the interview solidly enough, answering Morgan's query, "What's your view of abortion?" by declaring: "I believe that life begins at conception, and abortion under no circumstances."
But then things began to go badly. Feigning disbelief at Cain's response, Morgan baited the rookie politician, wondering, "No circumstance?" adding, "… because some of your fellow candidates qualify that — rape and incest, and so on. Are you honestly saying that … if one of your female children, grandchildren was raped, you would honestly want her to bring up that baby as her own?"
Cain told Morgan that "it's not the government's role or anybody else's role to make that decision." Using rhetoric that pro-life observers said made him sound like an abortion activist, Cain added that "it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. Whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn't try to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue."
The Vatican on October 19 sent a message to Hindu leaders asking them to resist "hateful propaganda" against Christians and allowing Christians to practice their faith in peace. A principal cause of conflict is the conversion to Christianity of Dalits or "untouchables." The aggression against Christians stretches across much of India, from the eastern state of Orissa to the southwest state of Kerala.
Christian outreach to untouchables in India is well over one hundred years old. Christianity, like Islam, places no special value on the circumstances of birth. The government of India sets aside certain benefits for Dalits, a form of welfare for a still-despised group. Yet the same government programs deny benefits to Dalits who become Christian or become Moslem, because — the argument goes — their denial of the Hindu caste system means that they no longer consider themselves in the sub-caste (or "casteless") position of "untouchables." This does not apply, however, to Dalits who become Buddhists or Sikhs, although those conversions also would mean a rejection of the caste system.
Christianity also grants women a higher status than Hinduism (which historically does not regard a woman as possessing a soul until she marries) or Islam (which creates a distinctly inferior status for women). As a consequence, Christianity has a profound appeal for the most hopeless Indians, "untouchable" women. The message of Christian love finds an eager ear among the "untouchables" of India.
A classic example of the blind faith in scientific speculation required by Scientism is on display in a discussion of the role of comets in the origin of life.
Speculation about a possible connection between comets and the origin of life has been around for decades. The discovery of a cloud of debris near a star 60 light years away has been the latest occasion for such speculations. Headlines have described the discovery in quite sensational terms; for example, FoxNews.com brazenly declared, "Strong Evidence Life Spread by Comets, Astronomers Say." However, the finding, though intriguing, is far less dramatic.
The discovery of a band of dust around Eta Corvi hundreds of trillions of miles from Earth has led astronomers to speculate how that band was formed. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was responsible for spotting the band, and the facts were more modestly described by the American space agency:
Now Spitzer has spotted a band of dust around a nearby bright star in the northern sky called Eta Corvi that strongly matches the contents of an obliterated giant comet. This dust is located close enough to Eta Corvi that Earth-like worlds could exist, suggesting a collision took place between a planet and one or more comets. The Eta Corvi system is approximately one billion years old, which researchers think is about the right age for such a hailstorm.
For Zubaida Bibi, a Christian woman working in a garment factory in the Korangi Industrial Area of Karachi, Pakistan, the workday on October 12 at Crescent Enterprises probably began like most. Her job as a custodian helped make it possible for her to care for her children. But before her shift was over, a Muslim worker at the factory attempted to rape her, and then slit her throat, leaving four orphans without a mother to care for them. And the case of Zubaida Bibi is far from unique: In Pakistan, the phenomena of Islamic men raping Christian women is becoming more common.
An October 18 story for PakistanChristianPost.com relates some of the details of the tragic death of Zubaida Bibi:
On October 12, 2011, during duty hours, Zubaida Bibi entered to clean factory bathrooms when one Muslim employee named Mohammad Asif followed her and locked door behind him.
When Mohammad Asif attempted to sexually assault Zubaida Bibi, she cried for help on which Mohammad Asif took out a dagger and slit the throat of Zubaida Bibi.
The factory management called police help and Mohammad Asif was arrested on crime scene where throat cut dead body of Zubaida Bibi was lying on floor.
According to U.S. News for October 14, Mississippi voters will be presented with Amendment 26 on their November ballots, an initiative redefining "personhood." U.S. News wrote: "The amendment would, if enacted, add 'The term "person" or "persons" shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof' to the state constitution."
Is it really that simple? The entire Amendment does indeed read "Should the term 'person' be defined to include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the equivalent thereof?" with spaces for simple "yes" or "no" answers.
Two more Hollywood actors have joined their voices with those of Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, John Hamm, and Janeane Garofalo: Sean Penn and Alan Cumming say the Tea Party is racist. Cumming added that the Tea Party is also "homophobic."
The stars fired the salvo on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. As with the previous actors, neither Penn nor Cumming offered any proof that the Tea Party is racist.
What They Said
Piers Morgan set up Penn to knock one out of the park, as Brent Baker wrote at Newsbusters.org. Morgan "helpfully boasted of how actor Morgan Freeman, on his show three weeks ago, 'was very passionate about that very subject, saying there are elements of the Tea Party who just, as he said, want to get the black man out of the White House. He said it on this show,'" Baker wrote.
Penn quickly agreed that Freeman is right, opening his remarks about the Tea Party with a short mention of President Obama's being akin to Bulworth, a fictional leftist presidential candidate. He then observed:
