I don't know whether it's laziness, callousness, indifference or all three but PayPal, intentional or not, are sending a very strong message to the rest of the world about Africa. Before I go any further, let me clarify that this is a rant. It's about PayPal and how they seem to be 'profiling' users based on IP. It's the new millennium equivalent of 'driving while (insert minority group here)'. If rants irk you…good, that's what they were invented to do. ;)
A Personal Example
For the past year I've been living in Uganda. Prior to coming here I've been a Pay Pal user for around four years. I estimate that in my years using the service, I've used it transfer well over $100,000 if you add up transactions both ways over the past four years. This was because I used to sell and buy lots of things on ebay but these days it's because I use paypal to pay for a lot of goods and services internationally. Most recently I began using to send and receive payments to and from clients or employees.
I don't know whether high levels of financial transactions via Paypal makes me a valued customer or a suspect in their eyes but their actions seem to indicate the later.
Apparently getting paid via paypal, or paying people via paypal is a crime if you're accessing the site from outside of certain 'trusted' countries. This is absurd because the whole idea behind sites like PayPal is to mobilize financial transactions. We live in a global world these days. In 2006 I used Pay Pal from 20+ countries throughout Eastern and Western Europe, In 2007 I used it several times from Mexico, in 2008 I used it as I traveled across ten states in the US and now I'm using it from Uganda. However, if I had to give my mailing address it would be in either Colorado or Georgia depending on how soon I needed whatever the mailed item was.
Some might call me a 'jet-setter' others might simply say, "I traveled more than that THIS YEAR!?!". It depends on who you're talking to and it's a trend that's only going to increase as families and businesses spread out across cities, countries and continents. Obviously there are a lot of financial and phishing scams that originate from the continent. Pay Pal is absolutely right to attempt to curb them. Pay Pal is absolutely wrong to red flag a continent of a billion people as being criminals, and that's essentially what they're doing. How so?
The Customer's Always Self-Righteous
Apparently PayPal's way of 'policing' their service is to simply flag various IP addresses as being 'suspect' . hrmm. I have a few Iranian and Indian friends who could tell you a bit about what it's like to get profiled based on where you appear to be from. (And if they won't suffice as anecdotal evidence, I've got a few million mexican and black american friends who'd double down on the sentiment.) Still, I get the fact that Pay Pal may need to increase security in certain areas because of the liabilities of operating across various borders. Some countries actually aren't friendly to international law, they defy it to spite other governments. Fair enough, protect the customers investments.
So Africa remains a high-risk zone as the sheer number of comments like these from paypal users indicates:
I am in the process of trying to sell a laptop. i have posted ads on comtrader and ebay. So far the item has been bought off ebay by a mother who wants its for a present for her daughter in AFRICA. Two people have expressed interest through comtrader, one wishes to buy it for a business associate in AFRICA, and the other wants it for himself, and guess where he lives….. AFRICA. Sorry for all the capitals, but am i missing something here. I've replied to the ebay purchaser who is going to pay through Paypal, which i know is covered by ebay so i feel safest. Just wondering if this obsession with me posting it to AFRICA is anything i should be sketchy about.
Or this person's thoughtful reply:
Anything from africa is a scam so stay well clear. Re-list the item if you have too.
Wow. Anything from Africa is a scam. I better take back this computer I just bought from GAME!
The unintentional effect here is that by blanketing the whole region as suspect, it reduces the number of viable alternatives for legitimate businesses and professionals who want to use services like PayPal for trade. I use PayPal for some of my payroll now (for people who don't live near me). However, whenever I do, PayPal flags my account and shuts it down temporarily 'because I accessed it from a suspicious location'. To unlock it I have to call them, from Uganda and do a bunch of other stuff that's inconvenient. I suppose this is the price of admission for using the service in country it wasn't intended to be used in. So no complaint here either.
But what it does mean, is that from every angle legitimate African businesses are smacked in the face by measures put in place to police the one's that are indeed abusing the system. But this affects even expatriates and NGOs that might want to use the service. If it's accessed from a certain IP there's a red flag, especially if that IP is not where you registered to use the service.
The Dark Continent…of People Just Like You
Once again, the message perpetuated here is to be cautious when dealing with Africans, Africa or anything you suspect of being related to the aformentioned. This is nothing new. Most people here have been dealing with such mentality their whole lives, why would it stop now that the medium has changed? To be fair, there's truth to this stereotype. There is indeed a huge problem of scams here. There is some truth to most stereotypes, the word itself simply implies that those truths are applied where they don't necessarily belong. If you're a Nigerian Cyber scammer you'd have to be truly special to be offended by people complaining about Nigerian Cyber scams. If you aren't and all you want to do is buy a laptop from someone in North Carolina off eBay, but you live in Botswana….well you're about to be grossly offended by your transaction experience.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people here who are just like consumers everywhere else in the world. They want to buy things, they want the conveniences of online shopping, they want to do business…and they want their neighbors to stop scamming you so they can have those things.
I realize that the problem can't be solved entirely by Paypal alone but I would appreciate at least an option to flag my account in advance for what might be mistaken for 'suspicious activity'. I'd be happy to leave this to PayPal's discretion but my problem is they aren't using any. African transaction? Banned! Banks will allow customers to indicate that they will be abroad for a certain period so that they don't shutdown accounts by mistake. Why doesn't PayPal? You'd be surprised at how damaging these blanket policies can be to an organization like mine that simply just wants to pay employees and be paid by clients.
I suppose the complaint is that PayPal doesn't give me an option to avoid my account getting bricked. It costs me money everytime they do it. they give me no alternative to prevent it from happening and when I talk to them, somehow it's my fault for existing 'in that country where The Last King of Scotland took place'.
A Note of Thanks
Thank-you PayPal, for your charming international policies and your wonderful customer service. Thanks for flagging my account every time I try to pay someone, and thanks for forgetting every single time that I tell you I live outside of the U.S. because clearly people don't travel anymore. Thanks for making it always necessary to prove my identity when you decide it's convenient for me to do so, and thanks for giving me…a customer….no method for complaint when something like this happens.
Also, thanks for reversing payments to people on my behalf, even though I didn't ask or even want you to. It really hurts my startup in ways you can't imagine. Thanks for pissing off clients who didn't think I was scamming them before, but who do now because of PayPals actions of reversing payments without warning. Isn't that ironic.
Update 9.9.09: Theresa has posted an awesome follow-up "Alternatives to Paypal for African Entrepreneurs"
Update 10.9.09: Another great follow-up on "eBillme, Another PayPal Alternative"
Update 10.9.09: To be fair, fixing a PayPal once it's been bricked is relatively painless. I called them, verified my account and I was back in business in twenty minutes (most of that spent on hold). They really work hard to fix things after the fact, but I still feel that it's better business to mitigate risks on your customers behalf prior to a problem. This is why milk cartons have expiration dates, you don't wait for your customer to buy up the rotten milk to discover which of your products needs to be replaced. =)

Please note that software-related problems are not covered on any of the systems.
Repairs to Apple computers and the Dell computers can be done on campus by our certified technicians, regardless of whether you purchase the computer through us, through the vendor, or elsewhere. If you bring a personal computer other than from Apple or Dell, you will need to take your computer off campus for warranty service and support.
In rare cases, you may need to take a class that requires the use of software or resources that are not available for the computer you own — either Macintosh or Windows. You can meet the class requirements by using a computer in one of the public computer clusters.
Dartmouth provides students with an allocation for free printing each term at public printers located around campus - this is our "GreenPrint" system. Once that allocation has been depleted, you will be charged for printing. You may choose to purchase a personal printer, but Dartmouth financial aid is not available for the purchase of printers.

Monday's matchup between New Hampshire and Syracuse University will mark the eighth meeting all-time between both teams, with the last matchup coming on Dec. 30, 2009. The 23rd-ranked Orange got the best of the Wildcats in that contest, earning a 58-48 victory at Manley Field House. Before that game, the last time the two programs met was on Dec. 6, 1986, as the Wildcats posted a 72-62 victory over the Orange at Lundholm Gymnasium. However, Syracuse earned victories in the first two meetings in the series, with its first win coming in a 58-54 decision on Feb. 14, 1981.
Last time out Syracuse earned a 90-36 win against Long Island at the Carrier Dome on Nov. 22 ...

Tyson-Thomas notched her fourth-career double-double with 16 points on 5-of-12 shooting, including a trio of threes while pulling in a team-best 10 rebounds ... Syracuse held a 49-22 advantage in bench points, thanks in part to 13 points by redshirt freshman forward Shakeya Leary and 12 by freshman guard La'Shay Taft ... Leary added nine rebounds while all of Taft's points came from behind the arc ... last year the Orange ended their season in the quarterfinals of the Women's National Invitation Tournament ... the Orange (25-11) concluded its historic campaign with the most wins in a season since it began competing in the NCAA in 1981-82 ... Syracuse has won four postseason games in the last two seasons ... the Orange made its third postseason appearance in four years under the direction of fifth-year head coach Quentin Hillsman ... Syracuse was ranked in the top 25 during five weeks of the season and received votes in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll during 17 weeks of the year ... Syracuse completed its third-consecutive winning season for the first time since it posted six straight from 1984-85 to 1989-90.
Last time out the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team fell to the College of the Holy Cross, 78-67, at the Hart Center on Nov. 23 ... Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) led UNH with a season-high 16 points and 13 rebounds ... She finished the night with four assists and three steals ... Cari Reed (Oswego, N.Y.) was New Hampshire's other double-digit scorer, finishing with 13 points, including a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe ... Holy Cross outshot UNH 40.4 percent (23-57) to 39.0 percent (23-59), however, the 'Cats held the edge in the second half 45.9 percent (17-37) to 42.9 percent (12-28) ... New Hampshire outscored Holy Cross 48-42 in the second frame ... in the game prior, UNH dropped a 66-54 decision to Brown University at Lundholm Gymnasium on Nov. 20 ... Reed poured in a career-high 14 points, including 11 in the second half … the Wildcats dropped just their second game all-time to the Bears on their home court, as they are now 6-2 at Lundholm Gymnasium against Brown … Reed was selected as the America East Player of the Game for UNH, rounding out the afternoon with a game-high seven rebounds … Sarah-Marie Frankenberger (Gross Gerau, Germany) chipped in with 10 points, three boards and three assists.
Junior forward Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) had a breakout game against Holy Cross (Nov. 23), finishing with season-highs in points (16), rebounds (13), assists (4), and steals (3). Her 16 points and 13 rebounds earned the forward her first double-double of the season and the fifth of her career. After notching multiple steals in 13 games last year, it was also the first time she tallied multiple steals in a game this season.
Sophomore guard Cari Reed (Oswego, N.Y.) and freshman guard Sarah-Marie Frankenberger (Gross Gerau, Germany) rank first and second in free throw percentage in the America East, respectively. After going a perfect 6-for-6 from the stripe against Holy Cross (Nov. 23), Reed leads the way with a 1.000 clip (8-8) from line, while Frankenberger is shooting 90 percent (9-10). As a team, UNH ranks second in the conference in free throw percentage, knocking down 42-of-55 shots (.764) from the line.
Freshman guard Kelsey Hogan (Nashua, N.H.) currently leads New Hampshire with an average of 4.0 assists per game, ranking third in the America East. In total she has tallied 16 assists on the year, with her most impressive effort coming against Dartmouth (Nov. 16) when she posted a career-high seven assists.
Sophomore guard Cari Reed (Oswego, N.Y.) poured in a career-high 14 points, scoring 11 in the second half against Brown on Nov. 20. Reed was selected as the America East Player of the Game for UNH, rounding out the afternoon with a game-high seven rebounds. Reed delivered her 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers along the way. She has scored in double-figures five times in her career, including three times this season.
After sitting out the last two years due to injury, freshman guard Kelsey Hogan (Nashua, N.H.) stepped up in a big way for the Wildcats, tallying 15 points and a career-high seven assists against Dartmouth (Nov. 16). With her assist total, she becomes the first Wildcat to reach that mark since Amy Simpson did so last year against Stony Brook on Feb. 3.
Maureen Magarity, who is the youngest Division I head coach in the country, achieved her first career win as a bench boss against Dartmouth on Nov. 16. In six years as an assistant with Army, Fairfield and Marist, she compiled a 106-73 (.592) record. In her most recent coaching stop at West Point, Magarity helped lead the Knights to a record of 72-48, including a program-best 24-win campaign during the 2006-07 season. In her first three years on the job, Army averaged 20 wins a season, the best three-year span in program history.
Senior center Jill McDonald (Middlebury, Vt.) had a career night against Dartmouth on Nov. 16, posting 15 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. The outing comes as McDonald's third double-double of her career. McDonald reached her previous career-high of 10 rebounds during the 2009-10 season on two occasions.
Senior center Jill McDonald (Middlebury, Vt.) tallied two blocks against Dartmouth on Nov. 16, giving her 116 career blocks, a mark that ranks third all-time in program history. Last season she set UNH's single-season block record with 58, while also tying the program's single-game block record with seven. She finished the 2009-10 campaign with an average of 2.0 blocks per game, closing out the year notching a block in 22 of the last 24 games.
The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team shot 51.4 percent (19-37) against then 12th-ranked Notre Dame (Nov. 12) and 51.9 percent (27-52) against Dartmouth (Nov. 16), marking the first time the Wildcats have shot over 50 percent in back-to-back games since 2000. The last time UNH achieved the feat came against Holy Cross (Nov. 21) and Dartmouth (Nov. 25), posting shooting clips of .556 and .550, respectively. UNH ranks first in the America East in field goal percentage this season with a .433 shooting clip (87-201).
Head coach Maureen Magarity and her staff recently announced that Stephanie Spoto (Pittsford, N.Y.) has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the University of New Hampshire women's basketball program and attend the school next fall.
"We are excited about the addition of Stephanie for next season," said Magarity. "She is a tremendous athlete, a tough defender and a slasher on offense. She will bring great energy and has significant upside."
Spoto, who is currently a senior at Pittsford Sutherland High School, was recently named to the All-Greater Rochester Second Team after a solid junior campaign for the Knights. She is also coming off a two-year stint in which she played AAU with the Crystal City Stars Girls National Basketball club team.
The 5-foot-11-inch wing ranked just outside of the top-50 in scoring for her division with 132 points during her sophomore year, leading Pittsford Sutherland to a 14-7 record, including a 9-2 mark in league play. She finished the year with 6.3 points, 3.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game. As a freshman she was equally productive, posting 4.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Junior forward Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) of the University of New Hampshire women's basketball program was recently named to the America East Preseason All-Conference Team by the conference.
Beliveau is coming off her first full season of action since 2007-08 when she tabbed as the America East Rookie of the Year and was named to the conference's All-Rookie team. Playing in 28 of 29 contests, Beliveau averaged 10.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, both top marks among the conference's freshmen.
Rebounding from an ACL injury that sidelined the forward the entire 2008-09 season, Beliveau came back strong last year playing in 27 games, including 25 starts. She finished the season averaging 11.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, totals that ranked second on the team. She also proved to be deadly from beyond the arc, netting the most 3-pointers on the team, finishing 34-of-110 (.309) for the year.
Her defense didn't lack either, showcasing her skills as one of the team's best defenders, compiling a team-best 44 steals. Tallying multiple steals in 13 games, Beliveau tied her career-high with five steals against Seton Hall (12/3); marking the third time she has reached that mark in her UNH career.
Despite making a late push and outscoring its opponent in the second half, the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team couldn't overcome a 17-point first half deficit, falling to the College of the Holy Cross, 78-67, Tuesday night at the Hart Center.
With the loss New Hampshire drops to 1-3, while Holy Cross improves to 2-3 on the season.
Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) led UNH with a season-high 16 points and 13 rebounds. She finished the night with four assists and three steals. Cari Reed (Oswego, N.Y.) was New Hampshire's other double-digit scorer, finishing with 13 points, including a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe.
Holy Cross outshot UNH 40.4 percent (23-57) to 39.0 percent (23-59), however, the 'Cats held the edge in the second half 45.9 percent (17-37) to 42.9 percent (12-28). New Hampshire outscored Holy Cross 48-42 in the second frame.
After controlling the lead for more than 18 minutes, a Whitney Fremeau jumper gave Holy Cross its largest advantage of the night, holding a 68-45 edge with 6:00 left in the contest. However, threats of losing that advantage came moments later when Lauren Wells (West Chester, Pa.) gave New Hampshire new life, drilling a 3-pointer from the top of the key sparking a string of 14 unanswered points by the visitors.
The 'Cats kept the Crusaders scoreless for nearly five minutes, making a living on the charity stripe, with three Wildcats combining to go 7-for-8 from the line during the stretch. Beliveau led the way, notching one from the stripe, while also tallying a pair of layups to cap off the run, cutting the score to 68-59 with 1:48 to play.
Holy Cross battled back with four unanswered, but New Hampshire wouldn't be silenced, posting an 8-3 run over a span of 16 seconds, cutting the deficit to just eight points. However, the run wasn't enough, as the Crusaders' early lead was too much to overcome for the Wildcats.
New Hampshire kicked off the contest with a 9-1 scoring stretch that lasted nearly five minutes, as Sarah-Marie Frankenberger (Gross Gerau, Germany), Beliveau, and Reed all knocked down trifectas to give the 'Cats the early edge.
The Crusaders responded with a 15-4 run, sparked by a pair of free throws by Meredith Ward at 15:29, pushing the home team ahead 16-13 with 8:22 remaining in the first frame. Alyssa May and Fremeau dropped in four points apiece during the stretch for Holy Cross.
The Crusaders would continue to pile on the points in the ensuing moments of the game, adding a 18-6 run, as Alex Smith added a pair of dagger 3-pointers at the tail end of the stretch, giving Holy Cross a 36-19 advantage at the break.
Smith and Fremeau led Holy Cross with 16 points apiece. Smith finished the night with five steals, two boards, and two assists.

Took me a while to get interested in sudo, which is unfortunate. Way cool program. When I set up an OpenBSD system, one of the first things I do is create a personal user for myself, put myself in the wheel group, configure sudo to let wheel users do anything, log in as that user, and disable root logins. Completely disable. This does a few things... 1) Ensures that random PW guessing attacks at "root" will not succeed. (this isn't a huge security gain, but from completely random attackers, it gives them two things to guess, not just one. If you are going after me personally, yeah, not so hard: my most common user name is 'nick' :) 2) Ensures that for systems that have to be administered by multiple users (i.e., business users), that there is no one user who has "more" access than any other, and thus, you have full redundancy in maintainers. 3) In multiply administered systems, you don't have to share any passwords between administrators. Sharing PWs is a bad thing, m'kay? (su requires sharing of root PWs) note: while this is a nice trick for OpenBSD, be careful using it on lesser Unixes -- many need a PW for root access for single user mode (by default at least). As mentioned elsewhere, you can also restrict what people do on a system -- for example, I have set up "controlled" firewalls for schools, where a teacher could turn on and off Internet connections in their classroom. You might not want the teacher to have full access to all functionality in the firewall, but they do need root-level access to change the filter rules. So, permit the proper commands with sudo, wrap it all up in nice scripts, and it becomes very easy and very transparent. Try that with "su" :) Note that in this case, it isn't that I distrust the teacher's intent, I just don't trust their knowledge of Unix administration, and don't want them having accidents... if I didn't trust at least their intent, I don't think I'd let 'em in. :) Try it, it's addictive. :) Nick.

Product description
The master of historical fiction presents the iconic story of King Alfred and the making of a nation. As the ninth century wanes, England appears about to be plunged into chaos once more. For the Viking-raised but Saxon-born warrior, Uhtred, whose life seems to shadow the making of England, this presents him with difficult choices. King Alfred is dying and his passing threatens the island of Britain to renewed warfare. Alfred wants his son, Edward, to succeed him but there are other Saxon claimants to the throne as well as ambitious pagan Vikings to the north. Uhtred's loyalty - and his vows - were to Alfred, not to his son, and despite his long years of service to Alfred, he is still not committed to the Saxon cause. His own desire is to reclaim his long lost lands and castle to the north. But the challenge to him, as the king's warrior, is that he knows that he will either be the means of making Alfred's dream of a united and Christian England come to pass or be responsible for condemning it to oblivion. This novel is a dramatic story of the power of tribal commitment and the terrible difficulties of divided loyalties. This is the making of England magnificently brought to life by the master of historical fiction.

Martial arts part 2
I waa thinking about martial arts again and i was thinking about weather doing punches over and over again into a heavy bag or hand pads would reduce suppleness in my wrists? If it would reduce suppleness suppleness in my wrists that could really hurt my drumming. The style that im looking to do would be muay thai or boxing.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this issue?
Re: Martial arts part 2
Strength and discipline can only make you a better musician.
Re: Martial arts part 2
You should be ok unless you break a bone in your wrist.
Re: Martial arts part 2
Do you use handwraps? I think that can make a world of difference. I always firmly wrap my wrists when boxing to prevent damage.
Re: Martial arts part 2
Repeted punches will build up the muscles in that area. As long as you properly stretch, and like stated before, don't break your wrist, you should be fine. It will most likely improve your technique than anything else since you will also be focusing on accuracy as you hit the bag.
Re: Martial arts part 2
Keep any large bag work to a minimum. Yes, you will damage yourself. As a former practitioner and highly ranked professional who now has arthritis from heavy bag work, I hope you follow my advice.
You are better off working on small bags. Develop speed over brute force. Remember Speed = Power.
Thai boxing is a very good style. I used to do a lot of it back in the day. I studied 32 styles and became an instructor in many of them. Some I never bothered to grade in but know the syllabus up to and beyond 3rd dan.
Here is a shot of me during a visit to a mate's house. I am in the air. Ignore the belt. It's my friends uniform. It's so strange that I only ever took photos during this period. There's about 20 years unaccounted for in my martial arts history with regard to images. It's the same with bands and gigs. I went through my album and you'd think I'd only been in one band. This photo is from many years ago now.
And develop control.

Baby-friendly in the Berkshires?
My wife and I are headed up to the Berkshires in a couple of weeks with our 5-month-old son. Obviously, we're not setting our dining expectations that high - we're just basically looking for baby-friendly places for lunch and places we can put together a nice takeout dinner for our hotel room once our little one goes to sleep.
We're staying in Great Barrington and figure the Gypsy Joynt is a natural for lunch. But we may be taking some trips further north, so would appreciate any suggestions throughout the Berkshires. Also, recs for any good takeout places - perhaps some cafes/food stores that have really good prepared foods - would be welcome.
Guido's market on rt 7 on the Lenox line is a great source of lots of takeout and prepared foods, everything for sushi to rotisserie chicken. They also have a little cafe in there, very low key, with interesting selections. And pretty darn good gelato!
I guess there is a Guido's in GT Barrington too, though I have never been there.
re: magiesmom
Huge +1.
re: pinehurst
Yes, south of the business district.
Bizalion Charcuterie and cafe in great barrington is a sweet little place, very french, with some wonderful quiche and sandwiches and soups and some neat take-out things. The french owner is a doll.
Agree with those recs especially Bizalion. The Guido's in GB is pretty much the same as the other one so no need to go to Lenox. Xicohtencatl is also good for lunch with kids, you can bicker about how authentic it is or not but the food is tasty. Also Rt. 7 Grill, mostly local meats although a tad expensive for BBQ.
We have also successfully brought our baby to Cafe Adam at lunchtime if you want something a little nicer and was not out of place, dinner not so sure though.
Would avoid the Barrington Brewery, while child-friendly the food is boring and the beer not that great.
If you're here on a Thursday, the Meat Market in GB, a locally sourced pasture raised meat shop, does a really delicious fried chicken dinner, which you could get to go, I'm sure.
Check out their website or fb page.
Bizalion might have the best sandwich I have ever eaten.. #5 Baguette. Buttered, crisy, airy baguette with mustard (high end) thinly sliced french ham and runny slice of really great brie. I go every week, but would go every day. There is seating outside and communal seating in. Owners are friendly. Patrons are nice.

Gear Review
Mark Merrill
For the $, you WON'T beat it!
Let the GoPro v. Contour debate rage. Each has there own particular set of positives, and negatives. I will say, with some degree of certainty, that the Contour HD is pretty much all you'll ever need.
It's slimmer, lower profile, and much easier to use than the GoPro family.
I bought the XL handlebar mount and the vented helmet mount. Both work perfectly.
On the helmet, it's hardly noticeable. The weight of the unit is minimal. The beauty of the Contour paired with the vented helmet mount is the fact that, because of the adjustable lens on the camera, you can use almost any of the vents to mount the unit. I ran it on top the first time, then mounted it lower on the side vents after that. Worked perfectly.
As shown in the pic I posted, The XL handlebar mounts works great as well. I ran it yesterday, expecting the video to be a bit shaky...it wasn't. The image is 'stabilized' per se, but it was still pretty damn smooth, even though I was banging down a dirt road on my CX bike.
I did have a slight technical glitch that was ZERO fault of the camera. My el cheapo, 3 year old laptop didn't seem to have enough cajones to process the video.
I posted on the Contour message board and had an answer with hours. I followed the directions, and downloaded the suggested software. Perfetto!
I also came to the realization that running the playback through Quicktime eats processing power. A quick switch to WMP and the video ran smooth like butter on a bald monkey.
For $140-ish bucks, it's really hard to go wrong here. Even with the 16gb SDHC card, and the extra mounts, I still dropped less than $200. Beat that GoPro...
Andrew Arnold
Keep in mind if you want to take this camera rafting, or diving, you'll need to drop and extra 40 to only go down 10 meters. If you want to dive any deeper it will be even more money. I'm not saying that this is not a good by or a good camera, but the mounts are more expensive than gopro mounts, and the housing is an extra 40 as well.
Mark Merrill
That's all fine and well, but as I mentioned in my review, at $140, plus the mounts ($25 for the XL bar mount and $20 for the vented helmet mount), and even the 16gb card ($20), I still came out spending less money than the basic GoPro. If I buy the h2o-proof case, I'm still at less than $250.
If you want to spend upwards of $300+ for a GoPro, and the mounts needed, then by all means, buy the GoPro.
Money was a consideration, as it is for most folks.
I will also say that we played with both cameras at the bike shop, and the majority decision was that the Contour was a better deal as a bicycle specific camera. It's less bulky, and mounts cleaner to both a helmet, and the bars.

NEW YORK (AP) - A former New York City police detective accused
of forcing a 13-year-old runaway into prostitution has been
sentenced to more than three years in prison.
Wayne Taylor pleaded guilty last month to attempted kidnapping.
But Taylor says he was "100 percent innocent" of keeping the girl
captive earlier this year and compelling her to sell herself at
Prosecutor Richard A. Brown said after Monday's sentencing that
Taylor's accomplice was given the same prison term.
Taylor spent 14 years on the force. He resigned shortly before
entering his plea.

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

tortilla chips
1/4 pound
smoked beef sausage
1/2 cup
Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup
barbeque sauce
Great idea! It really hits the spot. I used one smoked sausage link (cut the end off before shredding, and the casing will peel away as you shred it), and I added some sour cream after microwaving. Good snack!
These were super easy to make! And I never would have thought to try BBQ sauce on nachos but it was really yummy. My sister-in-law added sour cream and lime juice to it and I watched her lick the plate!
6 Ratings
This is one of my favorite snacks. It is a weird combo but it really is good.
It's a million times better if you put them on a baking sheet and in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. I usually set the temp to about 375-400. And check on them after ten minutes. Yum, yum, yum.
I created my own recipe & it's always a hit. The meat is usually leftovers from the smoker or beer butt chicken, chopped or shredded & put on the chips. I also line pan w/ foil to cut clean-up. Next is drizzels of BBQ sauce, cheese, diced onion, jalapenos & other "nacho" items. Put in preheated oven 350-375 until cheese is melted. Put on platter, foil & all, & put spoonfulls of sour cream, guacamole, etc, around edges & let everyone dig in. Perfect with football game & cold beer!

should one think about the formative role of genes? In this essay I discuss some results of my own struggles with this problem that may help other nongeneticists think about genes. The companion volume to this one, Cells and Surveys (National Research Council, 2001) contains a chapter (Wallace, 2001) on genetic markers in population surveys of human traits whose language could serve as a model of meticulous accuracy in the discussion of genetic data. This chapter is intended as a kind of reader's guide for how to relate genes to phenotypic traits in general, in order to better interpret research results and public discussions that attempt to relate genes to particular human characteristics. For a more thorough discussion, see West-Eberhard (2003, Part I).
To understand how any complex apparatus works, it helps to know how it was put together. For traits of organisms, this means understanding how they develop and how they have evolved. Sometimes evolution is depicted as a process of random genetic mutation and selection. Advances in the molecular genetics of gene expression and development, as well as in phylogenetic methods that permit more accurate histories of organismic change, support a different view: novel traits originate via the developmental reorganization of ancestral phenotypes, not just by a series of random mutations and their cumulative new effects. That is, the traits one observes have been assembled via the reorganization of older traits, with old genes used in new combinations. Furthermore, developmental reorganization can be initiated by environmental factors, as well as by mutations. In keeping with the universally acknowledged importance of environment in development, environmental induction can play an important role in the reorganizational origins of novel traits (for a summary and extensive documentation see West-Eberhard, 2003, Chapters 9-18, on evolution by developmental reorganization; Chapters 6, 20, 26 on the role of environmental factors).
These findings are relevant to the search for genetic markers—genetic loci whose different alleles correlate strongly with, and can therefore be used to predict, variation in human traits. First, due to change by reorganization of gene expression, related organisms or populations can have markedly distinctive characteristics, or "phenotypes," without having a large number, or any, distinctive new genes or genetic alleles (alternative DNA sequences at the same chromosomal locus). This is illustrated by the small genetic distance between humans and chimpanzees despite considerable differences in their behavioral and morphological phenotypes (King and Wilson, 1975). Second, the reuse of the same genes in different

Two exhibitions running currently in St. Louis make intriguing challenges to the standard operating procedure of the retrospective. Eleanor Antin: A Retrospective is on view at Washington University's Gallery of Art; Moira Dryer: Paintings, 1989-1992 is showing at the Forum for Contemporary Art. Neither one of these shows feels maudlin; neither seems to signal the clear endpoint of a career. Both come off as celebrations of creative productivity by intensely engaged -- albeit very different -- artists.
Antin is so deserving of a retrospective that it's curious that no one thought of it until recently, when Howard Fox, curator of contemporary art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, approached Antin about organizing one. (The exhibition comes to St. Louis courtesy of the efforts of Washington University's Sabine Eckmann.) The resulting exhibition is a collection of works from Antin's astonishing career, which spans more than 30 years.

Antin's work almost demands to be considered retrospectively because so much of her production is connected, conceptually and visually. A large part of her career has been devoted to developing characters, such as the King, the Ballerina and the Nurse, whose lives and stories she performs, documents or otherwise represents in any number of ways. These characters are Antin's alter egos to a certain degree, but they are also vehicles she uses to investigate a broad swath of social and cultural history.
This exhibition allows us, for the first time, to get a full sense of the characters, in all the fictional forms they have taken. We see the video of Antin transforming herself into the King, her regal male alter ego. We see the photographs of the King, engaging unsuspecting Solana Beach residents in conversations about the sad state of his "Kingdom." We see the King's costume, and the "King's Meditations," delicate pen-and-ink sketches and written reveries on life in his imagined realm.
It has recently become fashionable to consider Antin a kind of vanishing mediator who made possible (without due credit) a whole host of artistic investigations into role-playing and identity fictions (think Cindy Sherman, for example). But to assign Antin such a position is to focus too narrowly on "identity" questions, which may in the end be the least interesting part of her work, and to ignore her use of characters to reveal a whole range of cultural and aesthetic practices throughout history. Antin's characters take us to every imaginable cultural and historical space, from '70s action movies to the Russian Revolution, from the battlefields of the American Civil War to a Jewish shtetl in Eastern Europe. The breadth of her engagement with history is only obvious once her work is considered in this retrospective format.
Beautifully mounted at Washington University, Antin's retrospective also rightly foregrounds the conceptual works that are not character-driven. Prominently featured are the "Blood of a Poet Box" (1965-68) and "Carving: A Traditional Sculpture" (1972), well-known milestones of early conceptualism. But the show also rescues other extremely important pieces from virtual obscurity. Among them are "Library Science" (1971), the hilarious "4 Transactions" (1972) and "Domestic Peace" (1971-72), all of which deserve to be regarded as some of the most important conceptual feminist works of the 1970s.
Eleanor Antin: A Retrospective is guaranteed to make converts of those unfamiliar with her work. Even those who thought they knew Antin will likely be surprised at the sheer number of media she has mastered. Antin moves deftly from low-tech conceptual pieces involving typewriters and notebook paper to pen-and-ink drawings, photography, video, films, sculptural installations and, of course, performance. The fact that Antin is enjoying a retrospective exhibition should not imply that she's at the end of her creative trail. Viewers should use this retrospective to get up to speed on Antin's work -- and then watch where she takes us from here.
Moira Dryer: Paintings, 1989-1992 is a retrospective of another sort. Curated by Gregory Salzman for the Art Gallery of York University, Toronto, this exhibition invites us to contemplate work that an amazingly talented abstract painter produced in the last three years of her life, before she died of breast cancer at the age of 34.
It's hard to believe these paintings are all almost a decade old. They are as fresh and sure as works done yesterday. Had Dryer lived longer, she would certainly have established a reputation as one of the major abstract artists working anywhere. In her relatively short career, she had already enjoyed a number of solo exhibitions, and people in the know -- artists, curators and writers alike -- were aware that she was bringing something desperately needed to the landscape of painting of the late 1980s.

Hosted by resident DJ and professional show-off Anna Greenwood, of Guilty Pleasures fame, in true W style the finer details of the brunch are just as impressive as the main attraction. A specially-designed pair of slippers will be ready and waiting for guests on arrival, with Sunday papers and a bespoke blend of eclectic music selected by Anna in her sequins and spangles, all combining to perfectly suit the lazy afternoon mood.
The hotel's luxury, 39-seater Screening Room, will also be transformed into a plush TV pad, with sitcom favourites such as Absolutely Fabulous, Flight of the Conchords and New Girl showing non-stop throughout the afternoon.
Guests can wash away a hectic Saturday night with an upgrade to include bottomless Bloody Marys.

An Ohio judge has ruled that a breathalyzer machine currently used by police during drunk driving stops is unreliable.
Athens County Municipal Judge William A. Grim has opened the door for defense attorneys to challenge the reliability of a breathalyzer machine known as Intoxilyzer 8000 that is widely used by police around the state.
The Athens News, in an story in Friday's edition, said part of the ruling was the result of a defendant who said she had a cell phone on her person at the time she was tested and that interference from cell phones can change the results of the Intoxilyzer 8000, and that police officers using that breathalyzer can can drive up the numbers they get for blood-alcohol levels by the way they administer the test.
"The court has some doubts about the precision of the Intoxilyzer 8000," the judge wrote in his ruling.
Grim reportedly went on to include that the model was apparently never tested specifically to see if its performance can be altered by radio interference.
The Daily Times sought an opinion from Ohio State Highway Patrol Portsmouth Post Commander Lt. M.R. Gore on the matter, but he referred media requests to the OSHP office in Columbus.
"We do have both machines, the I-8000 and the Datamaster, available for our troopers to use, Lt. Anne Ralston, public affairs commander for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, told the Daily Times. "And since we are a statewide law enforcement agency, we're guided by our local courts and prosecutor's offices regarding use of that machine for breath testing in order to see our cases to a successful prosecution. So we're guided by them as to which machine to use on a post by post basis around the state."
Ralston said all of the OSHP troopers carry certification for both the Intoxilyzer 8000 and the Datamaster.

|AIA: Architecture Billings Index Tumbles Nearly Three Points
|Wednesday, 18 May 2011 06:35
The American Institute of Architects released today the results of April's ABI and news was not so rosy.
"The first question is whether this drop is a sign of an industry wide reversal in demand for design services or a bump in the road," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA. "The fact that most construction projects funded under the federal stimulus program have completed their design work, the anxiety around the possibility of a shutdown in the federal government in April, as well as the unusually severe weather in the Southeast had something to do with this falloff. However, the majority of firms are reporting at least one stalled project in-house because of the continued difficulty in obtaining financing. That issue continues to be the main roadblock to recovery."
Key April ABI highlights:
Regional averages: Northeast (51.2), Midwest (51.1), South (48.3), West (47.7)

As one station aptly put it, "She Wolf of London contains subject matter suited to a mature audience. Viewer discretion is advised." There is some mild adult language in some of the London episodes, but nothing you wouldn't typically find, e.g., on British television or on PBS. As for violence: well, this show is after all, about a werewolf. If violence on television disturbs you, then this show probably isn't for you. Additionally, part of the premise of this show is a play on "Freudian psychological needs" vs. the "genuine" supernatural. Most of the episodes are benign. However, there are two, "Nice Girls Don't" and "She-Devil" which seem to have excessive sexual references/content, and, hence, viewer discretion is definitely recommended . Also, there are brief scenes in "The Juggler", "What's Got Into Them", "Voodoo Child" and at the very beginning of "Habeas Corpses" which are a bit risque. Read more

Review Your Bowling Performance
When you reach the end of your bowling season or perhaps at year's end, it is a good idea to review your performance. The purpose of reviewing your performance is to find areas of your game you can work on improving.
Comparing your average(s) to previous year's averages is one way to evaluate overall performance. There are numerous things you can look at to determine which areas of your game you can improve upon before launching into a new season of bowling.
If your average is down, think about why you may have under-performed in comparison to previous averages. Were you steady enough on a week to week basis? If you encountered too many poor scoring sessions, ask yourself why and what you can do about it. Sometimes you might find your first game in league is the one where you suffer from the lowest scores. Or you might bowl poorly the third or final game of league.
For example, if you are typically getting off to a slow start the first game, then analyze why this is happening. You may be missing the pocket too often on freshly oiled lanes and getting an overreaction where your
bowling ball
either skids too far or hooks too soon, or both, on an unpredictable basis. The answer might lie in a ball change or a surface texture adjustment or perhaps even an alignment and speed change. Whichever the case may be, map out a strategy to work on getting a more consistent ball reaction so you get a greater number of pocket hits and correspondingly easier spares to shoot and more recorded strikes.
Suppose your middle game is the weakest. Then you are likely caught by transitioning lane conditions. As oil carries down the lane and as the front ends of the lanes break down, you are caught between making an adjustment in your alignment position or with your sighting target. If, after making logical adjustments you find the results are still poor, then you may need a
bowling ball
change. You may have to use a ball with a noticeably different surface texture than the ball you started with. You may need a ball with a different
drilling layout
so you get a ball reaction in the mid-lane or on the back end matching best with the transitioning lane conditions.
If your final game lets you down too often, then you are certainly suffering from the changing lane conditions when none of your current attempts at adjusting are working. In this example, you have to ask yourself if you are making correct adjustments with your alignment, with your choice in bowling balls, with speed or delivery style changes, or with a layout pattern in your ball in the final game.
Of course, there is always the possibility no one game in particular is giving you problems in scoring but rather your overall performance. In this case, it is a good idea to dedicate some serious and focused practice time to spare shooting. Cutting down the number of open frames per league session is a sure method of improving your average at season's end.
You may need a tune-up with a good bowling instructor to iron out problems with your steps, your body balance, your swing technique, or your delivery. Any of these things can cause inconsistent results and poor shot-making. Everyone can benefit from the services a coach provides for a general tune-up or for addressing problems with the game. If you are able to do so, invest in a lesson or two and work out the areas of your game which are in need of improvement.

The food is super and you cannot beat the value. Choice of TWO: soup, salad, dumplings, spring roll. Then your entre for $7.95. Most people cannot fiinish it all. I would pay twice the price. They'll make it really spicy, too or not at all.
Posted by Monty on 12/12/2012
I really find it hard to evaluate a take out order. When I have dined at Smile Cafe - which I have for over 5 years - the food has been excellent. You have to go there, don't judge this by take out. I love it spicy, but you don't have to get it like that. Candidly, it's also the best lunch bargin in CC. The Owner/Chef is also a terrific artist - check it out!
Posted by NewtoPhilly on 07/25/2012
We ordered delivery - the food came here relatively quickly, but our Pad Thai was dry and sticky, and the spicy fried rice was overlooked and gummy. The dumplings were ok, but the dipping sauce had a strange molasses-y taste, and we couldn't determine if it was intentional. It wasn't a disaster by any means, but there is other good Thai food in the immediate area, so I don't see the need to order from here again.

Go here - this place is amazing. The servers are friendly and attentive, the food is AMAZING and plentiful (I usually take home leftovers, which can then be stretched for another 2 meals), and the restaurant itself charming.
