It was "likely" that terrorists would stop using phones in favor of mail or courier
You got that new title wrong.
Breaking: NOBODY GOT HURT IN SELF-DRIVING CAR NON-ACCIDENT. Self-driving cars avoid accident, doing exactly what they are programmed to do.
Does an alien from the future count as a "person" in the present? Copyright requires that the copyright be held by a person, hence the whole "the ape took the picture" fiasco. An alien from the future is not a person under the legal definition.
But the CIA had another excuse for not releasing the information, and it's a classic. Yes, the CIA said that United States law forbade the CIA from mailing out "obscene or crime-inciting matter."
I would go with a loud and fully unqualified "NO". They fully expect that the programs will be re-authorized in some form or fashion very soon, and so nothing will stop "until they are really, really, really, ... sure" that the programs will actually need to be stopped. And even then, there will probably have to be a long drawn out multi-year court battle that no one is allowed to be in except the people with the proper clearances (and that does not include the Senators, the Members of the House of Representatives, reporters - legitimately recognized or not, civil rights groups, or citizens of the US). That will come in maybe the next 5 years or so. Until then expect to continue to foot the bill for some very expensive non-programs. Well, unless they can figure out how to just shift it under some other "program", "authorization", or "organization" that can keep it going somehow and just no longer call it by the existing code name. Just prepare yourself for a LOT more tap dancing.
Didn't you read the book? Ernest Goes to Washington (Well, not exactly)
Well, those blasted Senators, they are just starting to listen to their constituents about the massive invasion of privacy that they don't like due to the programs that they let expire that the administration can't say is making us less safe. MR. EARNEST seems to be very good at making long vaguely accusing sentences that don't answer the question but do point the finger somewhere else for letting a very expensive program expire that has no evidence of doing anything.
An extremely huge piece of the problem is that "supposedly" these programs are protecting us, you know, the citizens of the US. However; us little kiddies are just too untrustworthy to know anything about all of these extremely expensive programs we have to pay for anyway.
What I get out of that interview is that MR. EARNEST wants all of the 1st graders that are asking him the hard questions to just shut up and pay his expensive salary, BECAUSE, he know's better than us based on the non-existent evidence they can't show us, because, you know it would make us less safe (only they can't say so).
P.S. Am I getting any good at really long vague sentences that don't really say anything?
One of the problems I see that is not being addressed is that the police departments are agents of the citizens. They are writing contracts that then hide the terms of the contracts from the very ones they represent. Police departments and other law enforcement agencies are not some independent company. They are representatives of the citizens and are writing contracts as their agents. They SHOULD not be allowed to hide the terms of those contracts and their methods from the very citizens they represent.
How do the citizens start reigning in these rogue agencies that are supposed to protect and preserve and yet seem to be more attack and destroy and hide the methods organizations.
"I'm a victim", quoth the multi-million dollar company.
Wow, it used to be that the weak kid on the playground got "bullied". Now, a billion dollar company like Starbucks does something stupid and they "got bullied".
I feel so sorry for them. Would somebody get the government to throw them a billion dollars so that they feel better?
If they are going to include the cost of the Internet, they are padding the cost. It is what is called a sunk cost. People already have it. They already pay for it. They will have it whether or not they are cord cutters. Since they want to pad costs, they forgot to add in the cost of the TV, the cost of the electricity, the sofa to sit on, the footstool, and the snacks. Oh wait, they forgot the cost of a router, some LAN cables, installation and, oh yeah, a house to keep it all out of the weather, heat and air conditioning, and a bathroom, the water bill, and so on.
Since the internet connection is already a "done deal", then that cost should be taken out of the calculation. In that case, option A becomes $65 (which is much better than the $210 that Comcast wanted to charge me).
Option B becomes $48, Option C becomes $40, and Option D becomes $20.
Most people who are considering cord cutting already have Internet access for other reasons. The cord cutting is just making more use of something they already have, just using is some more at no additional cost.
When the cost of the Internet service is removed, those cord cutting number look very appealing, especially since most people have a TV (as opposed to a monitor) which already has a tuner built in that the cable companies bypass with their set top box, so get an antenna and use the tuner to get full uncompressed high definition over they air signals for free again (with the already paid for tuner in the TV).
So, let's get this straight, the police think it is NOT ok to record them (you know, public servants getting paid with public money) and so arrest people under wire tapping laws, but Hertz thinks it's OK to record voice and video of their paying customers in the car they rented and it's not wire tapping. Boy Hertz in for a surprise when the lawsuits start hitting.
Well, Of Course there is, in consideration of me, the tenant, paying you, the landlord, an ungodly amount of money every month to live in your pigsty, you, the benevolent landlord, also get to have all of my current and future copyrights in any creative work that I produce.
Actually, if we take his (really stupid) premise that self-driving cars need an Internet connection to work. It will definitely need Net Neutrality to work. Net Neutrality says that all traffic is created equal. As in all VOIP traffic is treated equal and all video traffic is treated equal and all ad traffic is treated equal. NOBODY (except advertisers maybe) want ad traffic prioritized above VOIP traffic. But EVERYBODY wants VOIP traffic prioritized above streaming movies so that phone calls work.
If somebody was stupid enough to make a car rely on an Internet connection ALL Internet CAR CONTROL traffic should have equal priority. Which you would want to have a higher profile than advertising traffic. That is what Net Neutrality is about. What we don't want is to have say GM car control network traffic prioritized above Toyota car control network traffic.
Since Superfish intercepted ALL communications that the computers users thought were safely encrypted via SSL (as indicated by the green lock on the browser as users were taught to watch), Superfish could be intercepting Personally Protected Information (PII) that is protected by HIPPA and that protection can't be overridden by a EULA. All they need to do is show that someone was accessing health information or Medicaid information on their computer that was being surreptitiously intercepted and looked at by Superfish to show that they were actively violating HIPPA.
They don't mean it's a bug in the software, they mean it bugs them that it didn't work.
Many of these laws are the result of the "must do something" mentality of a nanny state that doesn't feel like dealing with the big issues like the budget problem.
It's just too easy to spend a lot of money to "save the victims" and "protect the little guy" (you know, from the big faceless corporations that we created).
Move along, these are not the facts you are looking for......
For example, Pai co-wrote an editorial in the Chicago Tribune last week that tries to use Obamacare fears to insist Americans will lose the right to choose their own wireless plans if Title II based rules come to pass:
will be nothing, absolutely nothing. The sad state of affairs is that the organizations that were put in place to catch law-breakers, commonly known as criminals, are now so far above the law that anything they do is retroactively OK. As long as they can "claim" it was not deliberate. It's OK for them to be law-breaking criminals, just not anyone they target. That target may not have broken the law (fill in your favorite investigative journalist or their significant other who is traveling through an airport) but they can be hassled into the poor house or even thrown in jail for a while, but since they are not the ones who are supposed to uphold the law, it is bad. If you are supposed to uphold the law, it seems to be OK to break the law, as long as you can issue a press release that basically says "oops", didn't mean it.
This is a sad sad time.
A big part of the situation that doesn't really seem to come up in these types of "conversations" is that Google, Apple, and etc. are just preventing the massive scooping up of private citizens emails by encrypting it by default. Since the "terrorists" out there know that this is happening, or at least if I were worried about someone listening in on my conversation, I would encrypt the message before it ever got into an email. Then the provider would encrypt it again "across the wires". The encryption key I used would never be available to anyone else to "provide" to the government. The US Government already tried to make encryption software illegal by declaring it a munition. With open source encryption like OpenSSL and PGP or GPG, the "magic Golden Key" would be discovered and removed.
This conversation is just about spying on everybody who doesn't care or doesn't know any better. It is not going to stop the determined terrorist who doesn't want their communications read.

Former FRINGE star Seth Gabel is set to join ARROW as super-villain Vertigo, TVLine reported this evening.
However, fan boys shouldn't rejoice just yet - The CW announced that their interpretation of the classic enemy will be a bit different than the comic's. Not only will he not be referred to as Vertigo, he will neither be the Vlatavan count - though his classic powers of disorienting his enemies are rumored to remain the same. Gabel's first episode is set to air in early 2013.
ARROW scored a bull's-eye for The CW with its premiere, which drew 4.14 million viewers, making it the network's most watched telecast of any show, on any night, in three years. The ARROW debut also marked The CW's most watched series premiere since THE VAMPIRE DIARIES in 2009. In its second outing, ARROW became the only new network drama this season to maintain its audience in both adults 18-34 and adults 18-49 from its premiere to its second week.
ARROW is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg.

Only True Love need apply... I may consider relocation.
I basically possess both strong and attractive personalities. I fall into two principal types one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of my character under a thin cloke of frivolty. I show my passion in various ways such as my love for art, ancient history, antiquities, music, dancing, travel, fine dinning and anything eccentric or exotic. I enjoy social settings, but I'm not a party animal. I am honest and don't play games. I am mellow, yet ambitious. I have a drive for life, need for freedom, even if its just feeling a gentle breeze running through my hair. I'm in a constant state of growth and new awareness. I enjoy moments of laughter and conversations that are deep. I seek to understand and wish to be understood. Im attracted to someone considerate, who lives life to the fullest, has a positive attitude and stays in good shape. I desire an attractive harmonious woman, whom I can grow with and make life even more beautiful. Im looking for... ... someone who is passionate about life, confidant (but not self absorbed) Fem is preferred, but I'm also attracted to some tomboys. I'm a little of both. ;) It would be great to have a partner that is well composed, culturally inclined and intelligent. Artistic and creative in nature or that can appreciate those aspects in me. Someone to share life with, enjoy a good book, hold hands during a heart warming symphony. Travel together, walk together, talk together, have a deep bond together. I've been single a long time, I don't have a problem being alone. I am comfortable in solitude. You should be too. I am ready for the Right person in my life. I'm looking for the whole pkg.

"The US cannot tolerate the idea of any rival economic entity," Stone writes.
We just felt that it was unrealistic to suggest that they would continue to tolerate these things.
Why tolerate toxicity in a powerful sphere of modern life that has the potential to—and does—benefit so many?
1530s, from Latin toleratus, past participle of tolerare (see toleration). Related: Tolerated; tolerating.
tolerate tol·er·ate (tŏl'ə-rāt')
v. tol·er·at·ed, tol·er·at·ing, tol·er·ates
To allow without prohibiting or opposing; permit.
To put up with; endure.
To have tolerance for a substance or pathogen.

1 cup
all-purpose flour

white sugar
1 teaspoon

1 pinch
1 tablespoon
melted butter
1/2 cup
4 cups
sliced rhubarb
2 cups
white sugar
1 1/2 cups
boiling water
Soooo easy....and "eat yourself sick" good! I changed it up a SMIDGEN by adding: a sprinkle of cinnamon, and about 1/2 teaspoon of Mexican vanilla. Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy!! My husband, (a farm guy raised on summer rhubarb dishes) asked if there was a way to give it 6 stars...LOL ENJOY!
what smelled great, and actually tasted good, was a floating mess of cake... after 40 min, the crust was browning on the edges but the whole dish was floating in liquid.... what a waste!

This is very easy to make and delicious. It has a very sweet dense cake bottom but the rhubarb is still tart.
Delicious, only changes: I added 2 tsp ground ginger and baked for 50 min. Yummy, very easy to make. Will make this again.
Very interesting recipe. I, too, was skeptical about the water, but it worked. Following others' advice, I cut the sugar down to 1 c. and it was still plenty sweet. It was definitely pudding-y, not the drier cobbler consistency I half-expected. Next time I will increase the amount of rhubarb, or try it in a smaller dish. The rhubarb was too sparse for my tastes.
This was very good and very easy to make. I will probably use a little less sugar next time as it seemed a bit sweet to me, but other than that, it was great.
easy and tasty. I added a little vanilla and cinnamon. I was worried about the water but everything set up great. Just a little plain for my taste (definitely more a cobbler than a pudding)
Good and easy. I was uncertain about dumping the water mixture on top but it turned out great. I took the advice of others and reduced the sugar by about 1/2 cup and it was plenty sweet. I might cut back even more next time.

Sargon Boulus
With my late father, Elsaid Elsayed Rakha—lawyer, disillusioned communist, and incredible anti-patriarch, 1981
What have you learned about the writing process in the last five years?
I've learned too many technical things to list here, and they're all the more difficult to list because it happened mostly in Arabic. But I also learned to pool different kinds of writing – journalism, literary nonfiction, poetry, historical research, erotica, and humor – to bring together my first novel, the Book of the Sultan's Seal (forthcoming in English translation with Interlink). The result is a kind of pastiche, but maybe all novel-writing is pastiche. It's not so much mixing and matching styles of writing as juxtaposing ways of looking at the world through mimicking the corresponding languages in which that world reveals itself, through people – the challenge being to maintain a unified and presumably compelling whole.
Since the novel was published it's been called both an achievement and a pointless experiment: I've learned to accept that too. Not criticism per se – was it Ingmar Bergman who said that all criticism is poison? – because you can't take in poison, but the fact that part of the value of a serious book is that some readers won't like it. It's always more interesting to ask what someone likes or dislikes about your work than whether or not they value it as such. Sometimes what is wrong with your book is simply that another writer feels superior (or inferior) to you, or that a person you've known doesn't want to be a character, or to be that character. So your purpose in asking is never to change course to suit a wider variety of tastes. It's to check your intentions against people's expectations, taking their positions and underlying assumptions into account. I don't tend to invent characters, I tend to reinvent and change real people; it's not always possible to cut all relations with people I've written about, and I'm sure as hell not going to mess up my work just so that they stay happy with me!
More importantly, perhaps, in the last five years I've learned not to pay too much attention to Cairo literary-intellectual circles, which are limited and limiting spaces. While making up a sizable part of the very tiny proportion of Egyptians actually interested in literature, these circles are so incestuous and inward-looking and small-minded they can make writing, let alone being a writer, seem like a hateful exercise – a bad habit, almost. Now even if it is that, writing – even Arabic writing, even writing for oneself, without ambition – should never feel quite so despicable…
Banipal Interview with SARGON BOULUS
Interview by Margaret Obank*
Sargon Boulus has the rare experience of being an Iraqi poet who has been part of the American poetry since the late sixties. Today he is passing this on to the new generation of young Arab poets through his poetry.
He is one of the most important Arab poets today. He started publishing poetry and short stories contributing to Shi'r magazine of Yousef Al-Khal and Adonis in Beirut. When he went to the US, he was 'lost' the Arab world until he re-emerged in the mid-80s with his Arrival in Where-City collection of poems.
His poems and translations have appeared in numerous Arab magazines and newspapers, and he published four collections of poetry. Now in his early fifties, Sargon seems still to have all the energy and vibrant imagination of his youthful days in Iraq and Beirut.
Besides writing poems and short stories, Sargon is well known as an accomplished translator into English and American poets such as Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden (he is soon to publish a complete an his translations of Auden together with extensive notes and an introduction on Auden's life), W. S Shakespeare, Shelley, William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Sylvia Plath, Robert Duncan, John Robert Bly, Anne Sexton, John Logan, and many other poets including Rilke, Neruda, Vasko Popa and Ho Chi Min.
Since the mid-80s, he has been on the move between San Francisco, Paris, London and Cologne a last year has lived in Schoppingen artists' village in Germany, where I visited him last September. We spent a day under the Sh?ppingen sky, eating, drinking and talking about his life, his childhood, his views on poetic form and his endless experiments with the Arabic language.
I keep going back and forth into the past. The discovery which comes usually late is that most of the material that has made you and still works on you, even today, lies somewhere there, mostly in childhood, so that, in a way, I think that whatever happened to you in childhood, your circumstances, the place you lived in, the time, the happenings, these shape you up, especially if you are a poet, if you are a writer, and later on you would come back to this material and discover that that is your real capital. So I keep going, as I said, in these late poems back into that time, to shape them up anew, see them in a new way, kind of bracket in the perspective, tighten it and bring out the deepest possible meaning in those scenes and happenings and family background.
Unfree verse
It is something of a cliche of contemporary literature to say that Amal Donqol is best known for his worst work: "political" poems which, though he paid lip service to high-art injunctions requiring that their message should be veiled in ancient history or mythology, can only be read as populist propaganda against policies of peace with Israel. Not that there isn't always room in poetry for political engagement of some kind, but these works have arguably replaced the complex truths of literature with a largely instrumental sense of the real.
A streetcar named diwan
Wa Qassa'id Ukhra (And other poems), Ahmad Shafie, Beirut: Dar an-Nahda, 2009
A whole new diwan? Maybe. No, yes. If such a thing exists. In a sort of anti-introduction to the book, his third, the Oman-based Egyptian poet Ahmad (Salih) Shafie (b. 1977) considers an older, colloquial sense of diwan, the contemporary word for a book of poems and the traditional word for a poet's corpus – which, born of Farsi, can mean: court, cabinet (as in vizirate), compendium – and is, in Latin letters, the name of Egypt's first quasi-bourgeois bookshop chain. In breadth and in tone, And other poems is the complete life's work of a poet. In other ways it negates completeness in either work or life. The deadpan title captures an essence more reminiscent of Cortazar than of Ashbery, whose influence the book cites.

Disrupting the Narrative by Sousan Hammad
A man with nomadic tendencies, Youssef Rakha was born in Cairo in 1976. He studied English and philosophy in England, worked in Cairo, lived in Beirut, and, most recently, in Abu Dhabi as a features writer for the English daily, The National. He has interviewed some of the most compelling and contemporary Arab storytellers of our time for the English-language Al-Ahram Weekly – from helmers and novelists to actors and politicians (who, to me, are also storytellers) – laying bare his writings with such meticulousness, voice, and reason that he gives his audience a chance to draw their own conclusions as they observe the idiosyncrasies and prejudices of the speaker.
Youssef is currently finishing his first novel, Kitab At Tughra (Book of the Tugra), which, according to his blog 'the arabophile', is an "imaginative evocation of post-2001 Cairo and a meditation on the decline of Muslim civilization." Here, then, we stroll through the mind of Youssef Rakha exposing, in fragmentation, the man and his machinations.

Minnesota Vikings 1st-round pick Matt Kalil hasn't wasted any time living up to expectations.
According to Pro Football Focus, Kalil has allowed zero sacks, zero quarterback hits and just one quarterback hurry. PFF's weighted Pass Block Efficiency rating ranks Kalil among the game's elite with a 98.9 percent rating.
It's only two games and we shouldn't draw conclusions – good or bad – based on this small sample size. But it's certainly encouraging for the Vikings to see Kalil hit the ground running.

I tried Fusion 3 tubless on Fulcrum Zero 2-way rims on a Pinarello Paris. They provided a comfortable ride, however, being a lower pressure tire, my rims took a beating. I think that the rubber is softer as well, and the tires themselves became pock-marked, and eventually went prematurely flat and unusable. They don't measure up for me. I'll try them again when the Fusion 5 comes along. My favorite tire with high performance and no problems is the Continental Attack/Force combination. Now your talkin....

Super Monkey Ball has struggled to recapture the magic that captivated us on the GameCube nearly a decade ago. The 3DS instalment got back on the right track despite a serious lack of content, and the Vita's Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz (not to be confused with the Wii's Banana Blitz) has moved to address that with a 'back to basics' approach.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz does away with the side attractions that have largely tarnished more recent games. It goes back to basics, and the result is the same simple, yet addictive gameplay that made the original two games so much fun. Monkey see, monkey do: that's what Super Monkey Ball is all about. See the target, collect bananas and navigate a perilous stage within a minute to get there. Nothing more, nothing less.
As with the 3DS game, motion controls are an option that should be immediately ignored. Super Monkey Ball commands a level of precision that a gyro sensor simply cannot provide. It sounds good on paper, but in practice it requires the meticulous level of control only offered by the left analogue stick. None of the buttons are required. All you need to navigate the environment is one control stick; although it would have been nice if the right stick could have been used to maneuver the camera.
There's an immediate difficulty spike as you progress that should be to the delight of eventual speed-runners who thrive on admiring their own improvement when confronted with a genuine challenge.
Veteran Monkey Ball players will blast through the basic and even normal levels, but there's an immediate difficulty spike as you progress that should be to the delight of eventual speed-runners who thrive on admiring their own improvement when confronted with a genuine challenge.
The impressive level design is matched by a classic Monkey Ball soundtrack and sharp visuals that make it one of the prettier Vita games with its vibrant colour scheme, at least in the main game. The mini-games in the Party Mode take a more lax approach to their appearance.
However, it's not all glamour, and it does little more than the 3DS version to return Super Monkey Ball to its former glory. The positives are undone by some horrendous loading times, unresponsive menus, constant saving prompts every two minutes and an underlying sense that it's more of the same rather than a strive towards improvement.
While the core game is solid, the returning "best of" mini-games and slither of new additions provide mixed emotions. Monkey Target is a disappointing slimmed down reincarnation of its former self, while most of the others are only of interest if you accept the reliance on touch controls with games like Monkey Bowling, which transforms the screen into a bowling alley.
Love Maze is the standout of the newcomers. It tasks players with controlling two monkeys simultaneously on parallel stages using the left and right sticks to control each. However, it's the exception rather than the rule as most of the mini-games are lesser versions of those we've seen in previous games.
With such little innovation and the improbability of ever recapturing the success of the 2001 original, I'd much rather have seen the GameCube classic ported to the PS Store at a discounted price. Actually, can that still happen?
The mini-games and main Monkey Ball mode offer vastly improved content compared to the 3DS game, which is complimented by the level editor and creator. Using the Vita's camera and gyro sensor, a picture of your surroundings can be shaken up to create a decent unique level.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz is one of the better Monkey Ball games in recent times, from a franchise that has lost its way since amazing us a decade ago. Its back to basics approach with the core game, using the analogue stick, is successful in recapturing what Monkey Ball is all about. The level editor and "best of" mini-games compilation add the longevity that the 3DS version sorely missed, but the latter consists mostly of lesser versions of games we've seen before. Unfortunately what should have been non-issues stack up to hold Banana Splitz back from being Monkey Ball's grand return and it still doesn't come close to recapturing the magic of old. Nevertheless, it's a solid game and will be appreciated by Super Monkey Ball fans that have stuck by the series.

Nice Jars, Too Expensive, By Loretta N. Lawrence 'L.N. Lawrence'
September 14, 2012
I purchased these 32-ounce widemouth quart jars with caps and lids online without the benefit of shopping locally. I paid $31.00 for a dozen of these online through Amazon which is very convenient. I later went shopping at Walmart and found them for $10.98. Exact Ball jars, with lids and caps, a dozen, and the same wide mouth quart jars. A bit higher to say the least. I have to say that sometimes for me it is very convenient to buy online and most prices are very good. Every once in awhile though a few things pop up very expensive in comparison to the local stores. In this case, I should have paid attention and shopped locally first.
The jars are great, but Amazon is overcharging for them, By Kelly Lamb
September 6, 2012
The ball jars are great - you can store a variety of food product in them on the counter, in the fridge and in the freezer (be sure to leave enough room for expansion when freezing liquid!). I give the jars 5 stars.BUT, I can only give Amazon 1 star for these jars. Why the high price? I ordered them in haste from my go-to website Amazon, not thinking to check around for a better deal. Just hours later, I found the exact same 12-pack of jars for 1/3 the price. I immediately tried to cancel the order, but it was too late. Amazon wants me to pay way to much in shipping to return the jars. I did a little extra research and found these for half price with free shipping at other websites. I'm pretty disappointed that Amazon doesn't have competitive pricing on these. And since my purchase, the price has gone up!

I believe that's my calling and purpose, this has been my dream for awhile and I am very driven to get there. I believe what makes me unique is that I am a hopeless romantic and believe in intimate, fairy tale like relationships if they are between the right people don't get me wrong I know all couples fight or argue at some point, but compromise and grace is a given gift. Another unique attribute I have is that I am passionate at writing. I have been through a lot of tragedy and hardships in my short time here , but I believe God raises beauty from ashes and that I am and will overcome my tribulations no matter what comes my way I can weather the storm. Lastly on my uniqueness =P lol I see the world closely and observe closely, I'm curious and I understand easily, I feel emotion very deeply and am not a sissy, but I am sensitive to others and have a large heart. Music I am a human Jukebox I love music the only music I don't like is heavy metal, hard rock, or scream singing.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I love pretty much all music, but my favorite is 80's and alternative light rock. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. I love books and I love writing it's difficult to find the time to do it as much as I'd like to anymore.
For fun I like to spend time with my family, watching movies with them and going on outings with them they are very good people and make life better to live. I enjoy spending time with my son playing with him or teaching him things, he's very bright.

John Tomic allegedly arrested for breaking nose on Bernie's HP
amazing, but it happened yesterday
dolgo noticed there was a man on the floor like 100 metres far from the hotel. the man was bleeding on her face, nose and lips. they called the hotel´s stuff and an ambulance. tomic, who was doing his check in at the hotel(he just arrived there), also went there, and when the police came, we could know it was tomic´s physical trainer(they told us and shew his identity)
when they managed the guy to get awaken again with the ambulance, he told that another coach(dont know who, unfortunately), hit him, and they flew from montecarlo on the same flight and they were arguing already. they hit on the street, and that guy left him on the floor bleeding, having no sense. the police came into the hotel and got that man under arrest. he also had some blood on his face
never seen something like that. bernie was caring so much for his trainer, and really behaved SO good with him
i ve never seen something like that. we could also see tipsarevic looking from his window at what was happening

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi ! I made some tests with my front mic ( the one up to the screen ) today. I was trying to use my front microphone with skype and... it never worked. So I try to record something with the Sound Recorder installed by default with Ubuntu, and here it works. I have a lot of noise but I can hear my voice almost clearly. So I dig a little bit in alsamixer, and PulseAudio parameters but I didn't get something which works with skype. Then I plug an external microphone on the side of the laptop and there everything works perfectly... I was wondering if someone could explain my how that front mic is wired to the sound card, and how to use it. The sound card got 2 inputs ? or is it the same input switched between the front mic and the external mic when we plug something in ? Tell me if you also have some issues with you're LT3103 or some solutions :) Thanks Diffy (Hardware)

poor kde X windows performance after restart

Geforce FX5200Go

I had a similar problem with my brandnew Geforce4 Ti4400 128MB. What happens is that sometimes the card will perform extremely poor, right from booting up! Today I experimented with Twinview and video-out a bit, without much success I might add. However, when I restored everything back I found that performance of my system was very bad e.g. even text mode was sluggish i.e. GRUB boot menu was veeery slow. I "fixed" this by connecting my main monitor to the second monitor out (DVI port with DVI->VGA converter cable). When booting the system up with the monitor connected to the second head everything was back to normal! I reconnect the monitor to the VGA port and it worked full speed.
The solution might sound very strange, but that is how I fixed it. So I think it might have something to do with the card misdetecting the connected output device and using some sort of reduced speed mode or something. Perhaps some NVIDIA gurus can shed some more light on this matter?
So chances are good this problem has nothing to do with GNOME/KDE.

What Good is This Job Anyway?
By Tony Hicks
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 at 8:26 am in Uncategorized.
I got pulled over on the way to work this morning. So I did what a lot of us do: looked for somewhere to pull over while doing a quick mental inventory to make sure I wasn't carrying any illegal immigrants or nuclear weapons in the trunk.
The officer pulls me over and asks me if the address on the license was my current residence. Not even close, I'm thinking, trying to calculate how many places I've lived since then. So he asks me where I live now. Oh God…I don't know. I'm sort of between places, I try to explain. He looks at me and suddenly I wonder if he's getting suspicious that I'm so nervous on account I'm carrying illegal immigrants and/or nuclear weapons in my trunk.
Or was it Illegal weapons and nuclear immigrants?
Thankfully, my new address pops into my head, saving me from a long prison term. Then he gives me the lowdown. I made some sort of illegal lane change while flying down Ygnacio. The good news is that it's some sort of city infraction, meaning I won't have to go to court. But I will have to give money to Walnut Creek which, no doubt, desperately needs it.
Then the guy looks at my license and, after a couple quick questions, realizes I'm the guy who makes his wife laugh so much when she reads our People Column. Great, I'm thinking – I wonder if she laughs enough to get me out of this ticket before the cop realizes I may have nuclear weapons and illegal immigrants in my trunk.
No can do.
But at least his wife likes me.

Jambon Chaud Froid
|Cooked ham
|12 Pound, bone in, fat and rind removed (1 Cooked Ham Of 9 To 12 Pound)
|Unflavored gelatin
|2 Tablespoon (2 Envelopes)
|Chicken stock/Beef stock
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|2 Tablespoon
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Cold water
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Hard-cooked eggs
|2 (Whites Only, For Decoration)
|Green onions
|2 Large (Tops Only, For Decoration)
|Boiling water
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
Make straight cut to bone 4 to 5 inches from shank.
Make one cut at a 45° angle about 3 inches from end of ham to meet the bottom of first cut.
This slant cut acts as a wedge to hold the remaining slices in place.
Remove the wedge and set aside.
Slice remaining ham thinly and evenly, cutting to the bone.
Using a sawing motion, cut horizontally along leg bone to release slices.
Return ham to its original shape, gently patting back any slices that may have slipped.
Replace wedge to hold slices in place.
Then transfer ham to baking sheet and refrigerate.
Measure 1/2 teaspoon gelatin and set aside.
Combine stock and vinegar with remaining gelatin in small saucepan.
Place over low heat and stir constantly until gelatin is dissolved.
Remove from heat and set aside.
When completely cooled, beat mixture into mayonnaise until smooth.
Strain into bowl.
Spoon 1/3 mayonnaise mixture over ham.
Chill until set.
Coat evenly with half remaining mixture.
Chill until set.
When set, spoon remaining mixture over ham to finish coating.
Just before ready to decorate, sprinkle reserved 1/2 teaspoon gelatin over cold water in small saucepan or heatproof dish (a metal 1 cup measure is ideal).
Place over low heat and stir constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool and thicken slightly.
To decorate, cut petals from hard cooked egg whites and stems and leaves from green onion tops.
Dip briefly into boiling water, then into cooled clear gelatin.
Set in place.
Transfer to platter and refrigerate at least 2 hours

What Are Citations And How Do They Matter To My Marketing
In simple terms, citations are mentions of a company around the web.
These mentions are not link based by any means. They are purely textual mentions of a company along with its physical address and telephone number.
A great example are the Yellow Pages and the local Chamber of Commerce listings which only mention a company without any links
Citations are of particular importance to local businesses.
Why? Well, for one, citations are hard to fake. Think about a business trying to rank in a city where it is not physically located. With link building, you could easily manipulate search engines to make a business rank in a city like Dallas when, in fact, the business is located in Irving (about 15 miles outside Dallas).
With citations a business is listed with its address and phone number. This is much harder to fake as no-one want to misrepresent your business address.
That's why citations make it harder to manipulate the search results for local businesses.
Through citations search engines look for mentions of your business, telephone number and physical address. The more citations a company has, the better the chances of ranking in a particular city.
How Do I Get Citations Or Mentions?
Hera are some ways to acquire some for your business:
- Free tool: Getlisted.org (recently acquired by Moz) which is a great starting point. The tool tells you where your business is currently listed or not. Find out which directories you need to get listed in and sign up.
- Paid tool: Universal Business Listing takes your listing and circulates it among other directories for a small fee.
- Manual: Find relevant directories yourself. You can use Google Advanced Operators and just search for relevant directories. More technical internet marketers can use a tool like Scrapebox to automate those searches.
Which Method Is The Most Effective?
Personally, I find Method 3 to be the most beneficial to a local business. The directories will almost always be much more relevant to your specific business. Search engines always give preference to relevant links and citations so if you are are a lawyer in San Francisco receiving a citation from the local San Francisco Law Fraternity will always be more valuable than a general citation from the Yellow Pages.
Methods 1 and 2 will certainly benefit your on-line marketing campaign but you should not stop there. To kick-off a campaign start with methods 1 and 2 but down the road,certainly look for citations specific to your geographic location and industry. These are truly the gold nuggets you want to look for. As is the general rule with SEO and internet marketing the harder it is to acquire something (whether links or citations), the more valuable it is in the long run.
Zain has been in the internet marketing space for several years helping businesses of varying sizes increase their online visibility. When he's not analyzing rankings, traffic and conversions, Zain likes to travel the world and visit exotic new countries. Zain is also the founder and CEO of Search House Media, which is a digital marketing agency.
One Response to "What Are Citations And How Do They Matter To My Marketing"
Zain, this is the best blog post I've read all day (and like you, I read a lot). Co-citations play a HUGE role in SEO, and Internet marketing as a whole. I think Google is going to start giving citations more value than anchor text. But let's face it. No one can predict Google 😉

The idea that women (and men in cases) use their sexuality to feel empowered and to profit off of it all the while feeling empowered and "good about themselves" because of it.
I can't argue that there aren't people out there who fall into a rut where they feel empowered but in reality they are part of a system that is pulling the strings and taking advantage. However, there are women and men who very readily enjoy using their sexuality for monetary gain regardless of who is pulling the strings and they do feel empowered and good about themselves.
The issue in the second example is that there are people who can't fathom that this is true so the come up with all sorts of reasons why the second group can't possibly be feeling positive as well as profiting from it in a heatlhy way. I call them prudes.
But if I'm wrong in that you weren't talking about this then I apologize.

Ah how cute. I love when people get all indignant about this subject. Yes of course i was serious. the fact that you didnt dispute any of my points, just my conclusion, would indicate you are well aware of this even if you refuse to admit it. But ill do you the favor of disputing your points to show that i am in fact serious.
When i watch television and movies you know what i see? I see lots of graphic scenes of death casually handled like its every day involving men. Hard to be much more helpless than dead. Anytime you see a movie or tv show with a woman's death scene, it is usually a very dramatic meaningful affair. Where as most of the on screen deaths involving men are sometimes even played up for comic relief at times if given any meaning at all outside of a main charachters death.
As for women being the majority of victims of domestic violence well yes. Officially any way and that is likely to actually be the case, but with the rather large differences in what vaious places reguard as domestic violence on top of cultural attitudes about a male that is beaten or abused by a female, we may honestly never know the truth on this one and i wont pretend we do. Still even if you accept the official statistics, it still comes down to a 40%/60% in favor of women. Not a margin i would choose as a crushing defeat of my point. Especially since men are the victim of violence in general far more often than women.
To the majority of rape victims being women, that could be true. But having been locked up at some earlier point in my life im pretty sure convicts arent making it onto those statistics. Id much rather be a scantily clad woman walking down a dark alley than a prisoner in any prison. While i was lucky in my short time inside, alot of others were not. Ive actually never heard of a single credible source documenting stats on males being raped. So lets not pretend women win this stat on anything other than a default assumption.

I'm a woman, and I don't care about any type of sexualization. I think there's two sides to every coin you can either look at it as negative, or positive. Is it a fictional character really a hinderance to female progress in the world? Or is it empowering that women are seen as beautiful, and displayed as such while being fully capable of doing what a man does...But in a chain bikini :) I choose the ladder, I don't know why anyone gets upset about this. Who cares?
If it was a half naked man in the picture it would be hilarious and made fun of, it's a half naked woman in the picture and people tend to take it seriously. It's really not hard.
Of course people can feel good about being objectified for monetary gain. Our society encourages it. It is reinforced in our culture constantly. We live in a world where we reward people for dehumanizing themselves. We are born and raised into this way of thinking. It is so ingrained into our life that we actually feel fulfilled by doing it.
When slavery was abolished, there were tens of thousands of slaves that refused to strike out on their own and leave. They stayed with their masters because that was all they knew and they were convinced that it was ok to be owned. And they were genuinely content. Society had encouraged it to be that way.
Oh my God, it's an attractive woman! Run, lest our poor eyes be burned by the sight!
Seriously, really? I wouldn't care if it was a mascular man - the human body is beautiful. It also helps sell products, which is good for employment.
I am... so very suprised that this topic hasn't been shutdown as of yet considering the content of some posts.

If people want to overthink and make their life even more painful and/or complicated so be it :D
All I see is a grow up woman wearing a sexy armor, they didn't even make the breast look beyond retardation when they could ... and yes life is sex driven and I don't think it is going to change anytime soon !

Ok. I'll dispute your points.
Electing women to office doesn't fix anything. This isn't about having the same power and influence as a man. Its not about taking over. Its about mutual respect and inclusion. Its about abolishing dominance and oppression.
Source? This doesn't have anything to do with objectification so I'm not even sure what your point is here anyway. That women have power because they spend money? Show me where women drive the spending market. They don't. But that point is irrelevant anyway.
Patriarchy is participated by women as well as men. This isn't about men v women.
So instead of trying to figure out why this happens, you use it as a reason to label women as screwed up. Why are these women you're referring to acting this way?
Your last paragraph dismisses patriarchy because you claim women have the power to influence and control just as much as a man. They do. And they participate in patriarchy as well. This isn't about men vs women. Its about society as a whole and the roles of oppression that we play in them.
Why do you think when a woman on tv or film is killed it is usually a dramatic, meaningful affair? Because we as a society view women as helpless. As a creature that cannot fend for themselves. We have this thrown at us constantly to the point where we no longer see them as equal, but as fragile beings that need our protection. And why wouldn't they? We live in a world where women are sexually objectified for profit. To sell anything. They are dehumanized in order to sell a product. It is a fact that when we dehumanize someone or something, it is easier for us to act out in violence against it.
Um no. We know the truth. Women are in the majority at about a60% to 40% ratio considering the most broad definition of dom violence. But the most violent acts including rape and murder are being done to women by a much larger margin. Source And since when is this a contest? A crushing defeat? A narrow margin? Its all awful.
So you're saying since prison conditions involve men getting raped, then that negates rape against women in the outside world? That makes absolutely no sense. The prison system is one of the most repulsive and inhumane inventions we have ever come up with. But because awful things happen to men in there, its ok that similar things happen to women who are just walking to their car, or going to the store? No.

Freedom and individual rights are important. Freedom of expression and artistic freedom are essential in a good and happy society. Really for every individual in the world. Being able to respect other peoples opinion and how they prefer to live is also important. That is tolerance. People that think a woman in a computer game wearing a bikini is the end of the world are strange, IMO. And that they feel they need to attack developers and companies that are creating such games is odd. Clearly they dont have to play the games if they dont like them. There is no need to preach morals and ideology. I certainly dont want such values, morals or ideology to be part of my life. At least not when I play games.

Yes, because you're ability to generalize and state what "is really going on" in the minds of women, is so much better than using sex to sell.
Thank god for people who really know what's going on in the minds of others, how in the world would I ever be able to think for myself, without people like the guy I quoted doing all the thinking for me. I am grateful and thank you, good sir or madam, for stearing us all down the right path to tolerant behavior and objective thinking. Without your fingers muddling in my mind, and informing me how to properly think and behave, I would be a horrible, horrible person, not worthy of the air I breathe; unlike yourself.

I'm confused where he told you what to think rather than telling you something you could think about.

I'm not telling you how to think. I never said Trion was evil. I never said I was speaking for anyone. In fact, most of the things I'm talking about doesn't have anything to do with you, personally, or anyone in specific for that matter. Im commenting on our social structure. It is something to think about, not indoctrinate.

I have to shiver a bit at your post because I always find it disquieting when someone has recognized the evils of the world and wants to point them out to people, possibly "clucking their tongue" along the way.
My first thought is that we are wired to be "us". And though we try to be better people, in the end we are going to be what we are going to be. Within humanity there is a nature vs nurture battle that is always going on. Still, I don't believe that setting some high bar, a bar that is sort of academic in its conception, is really going to change us from what we are.
In the end, we are animals. We eat and procreate. Our whole drive is about eating and procreating. And though we do incredible things such as land small cars on mars and take sounds or color or words and weave them into something that is greater than the sum of its parts, we are still programmed with "eating and procreating".
It's just that our intelligence also makes us aware of sexuality in a more profound and perhaps complicated way.
Are there people out there who are victims? Are there people out there who don't know better? sure! Are there people out there who need help because they have gotten into situations where they should never be?
of course!
Are there people out there who embrace their sexuality and try ti imbue their lives with as much of it as possible? Because they are wired this way? um, "yea you bet".
I'm for a live and let live enviroment. I'm not for groups of people looking at other groups of people and creating very strict defiitions on what they should be doing, how they should be acting and how they don't know better because they are misguided, they are led astray or they can't let themselves be better and rise above.
Becuase you know what that is?
That's Plato's Republic.
It's the whole idea that mankind will always be lost unless the small group of learned philosophers take over leadership and shows them "the way" despite themselves. That only the philosophers are capapble of leading the unruly masses who can't possibly make good decisions as a society. That only a few are wise enough to lead the many.
And that type of thing just won't do.
Sex sells because it's who we are. We want to be sexual, we want to have it in our lives as much as we can stand. if people want to temper it that's great. More power to them. If people want to indulge and maximize it then that should be ok as well. If that is not to your liking and you want to say that it's because of the chains of society then that's your prerogative. You can hate and avoid the use of sexual images on games, in movies, on TV as much as you like. I'll fully support you in that. But that's where that ends.
