1. MMORPG.COM is not supporting the SOPA Act in any way. I just checked recently and they closed down the Politics Section, and the Religion section they simply do not allow topics about such anymore. One of the Moderators already said this on another thread topic about SOPA.
2. Since this was posted by a Moderator, I will say that it is up to those individuals who wish to support SOPA, or Not. If SOPA was just about stopping piracy all together I would be for it, however I have found that SOPA is a violation of our first right ammendments and U.S Constitution in my opinion after looking into SOPA myself. It gives rights to whoever is in charge to censorship the internet, which means I will no longer be able to access certain sites such as Pirate Bay, or any site they deem has copyrighted material even YouTube if I am recording a video of my family in real life for example and someone drives past in a car playing a song I could get sued for what I know unless I edit all that out.
3. Piracy is not as bad as they say anyways I mean no offense and wont name software companies specifically here, but there are some software companies they sell their software license for $1000 USD for the entire collectors suite of programs, then the next update comes out they again you have to pay at least $500 or such for an update, I really do not have that type of money. As for illegally cracking software there are 3 ways to do it. 1. You can run the software on a virtual machine, and system restore the Virtual machine 30 days each time it expires so you can keep it as long as you need. 2. You can use a crack, or 3. You can use a program that allows you to inject running the program at a certain date before the trial expires called Run as Date, it is a legit program used for the right purposes.
4. Piracy of Movies, Games, Music, ETC. Again it is not as bad as they say, I have a netflix subscription myself so I pay for movies, however if Netflix doesn't have the movie I google the movie and find a free site streaming the movie, wherever or not I go to a site like Pirate bay and obtain an illegal download or not is besides the point because even if I stream a movie from netflix I could just hit the record button on my camtasia and that is just as illegal, however the only difference is I am not making any profit off anything, and I am not selling their movie or work in any way so really no one knows but I do pay for my movies legally through services such as netflix however I will not pay for 1. Rentals for 1 day streaming for one single movie, 2. I will not go to a red box, 3. I will not pay for Video on demand rip-off for streaming movies, 4. I will not go to a video store.
Why? To answer this I beleive that Cable Television needs to come to an end there is no reason cable television should exist anymore period, even Satellite can come to an end pretty much. The only TV Channels you need live are 1. The News Channels, and 2. The Weather Channel, Beyond that there is no point in having streaming movies through a Cable, because it is a waste of bandwidth and we all know it. We have DVR's and Netflix for example so if we want to watch a movie just storing the movie in a Database people can pay a monthly fee without all those stupid HBO, Stars charges, and go pick any movie, and episode they want to watch and watch it on their time on their Television through a digtial box without the need for high priced cable/Bandwidth fees, all it would requite is an internet connection aka Cable Internet, and without all those extra signals bandwidth on Cable Modems could be increased.
5. Game Piracy is a serious joke, some games are not even worth buying period I will not pay $50 a copy of a game when I don't know if it is worth playing or not. If I want to purchase a game then I will wait until christmas and spend $5 for the game on steam if I dont know if it is worth playing or not.
Another Fact is that Game Piracy is easy to deal with if they do not want their games pirated all they have to do is make most of its features online such as game save files so that they save to a server with all their other data and the person has to login with a user name and password for them to save properly this is a simple solution, but the game companies like those that made some of the most pirates games such as Red Faction Armageddon, or Dead Island, These games are easily pirated throguh steam or not by using certain programs I wont name here and for what you dont know how to pirate there is google it teaches you everything step by step for almost anything, but again those that actually like the game will buy the game so no worries there. I just bought like 5 steam games + addon packs as well.
6. Music Piracy, This is something you cant or will never be able to stop as long as recording from a computer, radio, or anything else exists period, You can record movies from a computer, or record music to a tape on your Radio so there is no real way to stop this, what is going to stop me from walking around real life and selling my tapes illegally or making an illegal underground exchange through SD Cards between friends for real money or piracy I have seen others doing it in my community so what would SOPA Really do.
I am not saying that I have actually done any of this piracy as I have listed above but simply I know more than enough about all the piracy to know how to get around pretty much any security a software company or game throws at me, and as far as I am concerned their electronic agreement with an I agree button means nothing to me period unless I actually sign it in real life in a court it could be debated however I really don't care about City Laws, or State Laws myself, I don't even bother to read them all the only laws that really make good enough sense and everyone should be following are the ones in our U.S Constitution which people are completely trying to get rid of every single day. I am not saying that I go out break laws daily or something like that just making a point about some of the laws that states, and city have tried to pass which have been unconstitutional.
The united States OF America Is still We The People Right?
I would say that We The People, never really voted for SOPA, this has been something passed by Senate, Software Industries, and Government under our noses, therefore we really did not vote for such, and the only people who are in favor of such realyl are the big Software and Entertainment industries who are paying off other people to help in favor of them and such as well too most likely. But hey for those supporting the SOPA act, why not boycott all their games, and Software it will help them realise that we are in control not them. Again You can't restrict the Free Flow OF Information on the Internet, and You Can't restrict our rights as American Citizens.
Anonymous, whoever you are as Anonymous, Do what you have to do to stop this corruption, I will do my part by complaining to the ESA myself and continue to spread the word about SOPA. We can't have these acts of our government to ruin the United States for what it is and what it has been for all these years, and hey the Software, and Game industry knows I am right. Internet Censorship is not the key to solving any of this, and will not stop illegal downloaders either as some sites say, but even if SOPA does get passed there will be a new threat on the internet which they will try to pass which gives people the right to know exactly where you are from, aka they will get a bill started to get rid of proxy, and VPN services because of illegal uploading to site like Rapid Share & Mega Upload, and hey this is just me thinking ahead.
So bottom line Software Industry, and Gaming Industry No offense, but you are nothing without us paying for your products, so we Dictate the orders for you, not you controlling us. You Protect your own work, And hey the game companies know they can keep illegal pirates from pirating their games by require a connection to their servers and storing the save data to their servers instead of their own pc they just dont do it because this prevents offline play, and costs them money. If you do not want your movie, music, art, or Games pirated, Do not create them. Because no matter what they are going to get stolen by at least one person out there, and from there it can go vial, not that I support this, and I do support DMCA takedowns. But not Cneosrship. Otherwise by broadcasting, showing anyone your music Lyrics, etc, know that people have the right to free speech, and will use your work with fair use with anything they please such as a Video on YouTube, or background music playing, etc, don't like it, dont release it, dont make money that simple. But hey I am sure they get paid enough anyways its just all these movie stars, and such all they do is go splurge and spend their cash so fast, get their fame up so fast that they loose a lot of money compared to the common person flipping burgers then they have the nerve to complain about piracy.
I mean no offense to anyone but this is the way I feel about all of this, and the links I just read from the moderator, I can't support such a bill that violates our U.S rights, and again I might as well move to a foreign country like China, or Asia so I can have internet censorship because that is where our Country is going starting with this.
http://www.jesseventura.net/ Ever wonder why the United States has so many FEMA camps, well the conspiracies are all right here, things that will start a chain of events like SOPA, aka possible Civil War.

Mess With The Rest
I don't support SOPA and as it turns out one of the people who represents me is one of the leaders on this bill so they will not get my vote. Now if somehow this bill does pass then I am going to just cancel my internet service.

May the game be ever in your favor.
The governement has already passed the NDAA and now they want to pass SOPA... NDAA gives the government the power to put any terrist suspects in jail, but the truth is ihat's just a cover up and they now have the power to put ANYONE in jail by saying that because the NDAA also states the suspect will not be allowed a court trial or anything. Basically if you do somethign the government doesn't like, you're going to rot behind bars for the rest of your life without even ever getting a court trial or a chance to say your side of the story. As if to add onto this now the SOPA may take away freedom of speech over the internet.. The book 1984, wasn't far off with it's famous quote, "Big Brother is watching you."

The more you hype an upcoming game in your mind, the more it will fail to meet your expectations.

I never actually realized that the distributors of all the big name file sharing programs back in the day were all being hosted and actively promoted on websites owned by the same companies that today support SOPA. Thinking back about it now, I do recall all of the promoting, advertisements, and content that was pro-piracy on these sites back in the day. The research that was done for the video does look to check out as well...
I'm just stupefied by this.

This sort of thing makes me sick. This is a symptom of a bigger problem called CORPORATE PERSONHOOD. SOPA will be passed because the $$ is behind it. The end.

Another edit: I am not promoting anything. Just showing that the adverts are still on the site. Along with the tools to pirate. On another look the ads do change. So it might take a couple of page loads to see the p2p ads.
About the thread in general: Guessing the staff got enough pm's/ emails to write an article on SOPA. Shame you all locked every thread about the topic. Better late than never.

SOPA will definitely stop piracy altogether. Just like banning drugs has stopped their production, distribution and usage.

SOPA has helped me pick and choose what products I will and will not buy. I simply won't fund any SOPA supporters if I can manage to work around it. I wonder if this type of publicity will actually have a negative impact on Sony's revenue, or will the sheep continue to be tools?

I saw the one post that got locked on here about sites doing a blackout in protest. I figured it was just a few small no-name sites. Wikipedia is doing a 24 hour blackout in protest. That's huge...

Every site with 100's of thousands of views everyday should make a blackout and make sure people know why when they try to use the sites.
But tbh, I don't think it will ever go through, people would go absolutely nuts if they removed the freedom on the internet, and Obama already said he would Veto it, if it goes through.

as much as i hate SOPA and PIPA, even i have to admit that theres ONE good thing SOPA would have helped with. Gold Sellers and Bot makers.
Gold Sellers are making a profit by infringing on the rights of game developers. their sites could been been shut down one by one. although they would just move to a new site and continue, its alot harder to convince someone to buy your product from a new site then it is from an established site.
it could have helped keep the gold selling down.
but over all, that bill was bad for the us citizen in general. it would be no better then china censoring its citizens for political reasons. this one would mainly benefit large corporations by censoring anything that remotely looks like compeition off the internet.

sopa and pipa are bad for 2 reason ,the reason given are urban legend first and everything related to it was made avail by the same said industry,google it!they showed the web how to do all these stuff then come and say foul check what they do!why would they skeem like this ,to CONTROL the web,LET ME PUT THIS BLUNTLY,whatever they do whatever they think they can muster to do what they want the only person that will be affected by unsecure web and unsecure everything will be common folk cause the rest that are techno savy will do like they did when satelite release paid per view on satelite ,they will hack the darn thing,why cause it wil be huge business.instead of hacking the satelite they ll hack the web for free web instead same difference.
all the various industry make more money since the web exist why ,cause take me i see harry potter in 240 quality wow i love it i go see it in theater
they want a law i will tel them how
1 sound lower free lagal quality to old am quality radio (most will know what i talk about if they are 40+
2 videp lower quality to what we had without cable with rabbit ears (it was what 240 but looked like 128 or so
one problem with this idea same as before it means giving control of the web to someone and this is also a nono
so i say put these two mesure in place by law let them sue those that stream copyright meterial in higher quality as long as it is stuff they own ,not a obscur thing like the patent troll issue
and before all this copyright and patent agency need to change the way they work and revisit all exisiting patent and copyright
and remove all that are too similar!with the techno avail today this is very easy !

In my professional life, I have always tried to follow the latest trends. I wanted to know and be able to do more, to work better and more efficiently. Hence, I kept attending trainings in many hairdressing academies such as Tony and Guy, Vidal Sassoon London, Frank Prowost Vienna, Aleksander Berlin and Matsuzaki Tokyo. Apart from this I took part in several trainings once a month such as Wella, L'Oreal, Schwarzkopf, Joico, Alfaparf, Goldwell or Londa. Additionally, I underwent intensive trainings in extending and thickening hair by laser methods, ultrasounds and popular rings, micro-rings and keratin capsules. I fell in love with London and decided to live here to train, create and design haircuts, above all for our beloved beautiful women and handsome men.

Early childhood education programs win children's books at bingo
NORTHUMBERLAND - More than 50 parents and guests of Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit (CSIU) early childhood education programs won children's books as bingo prizes in an event held at Townside Too. Each player took home more than 10 books, and more than 300 books were distributed.
"Book Bingo is a way to celebrate and support literacy," said Patty Edwards, CSIU Head Start programs manager. "Parents have the power to boost their children's learning potential simply by making books a fundamental part of their lives."
She said the event gives parents an opportunity to engage with other parents of young children.
Parents from Northumberland Area Early Head Start in Stonington; Northumberland Area Head Start in Herndon, Milton, Mount Carmel, Shamokin, Sunbury and Turbotville, and Pre-K Counts at Line Mountain, Shikellamy and Milton Area school districts were invited.
Early Head Start is a comprehensive program for expectant mothers, infants and toddlers (from birth to 36 months). The program offers education, nutrition, health, social and mental health services, and emphasizes parent involvement.
Head Start and Pre-K Counts are programs that promote school readiness for children ages three to five and emphasize parents as their child's first teacher.
Head Start and Early Head Start are federal grants awarded to the CSIU to conduct programs in Northumberland County. Pre-K Counts is an initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of Education and is administered by the CSIU.
These early childhood education programs are available at no cost to parents. For more information, call 570-523-1155, extension 2240.

The company Bonnebell which produces cosmetics for women was launched in 1927 by J.G Bell. It has been manufacturing cosmetics for women ever since. There is an official website for the Bonnebell range of cosmetics. You can purchase these cosmetics directly online, or otherwise the official website contains a store locator if you prefer to buy products in person. These products are sold in big-name stores such as Wal Mart, Target and Walgreens. The Bonnebell range of cosmetics includes, among other things, bronzing powder, eye shadows and lip-gloss.
Product Details
The Bonnebell range of products concentrates mainly on cosmetics. There do seem to be a few skincare products within the Bonnebell range, such as the Bonnebell Deep Pore Cleanser. There are not, however, any anti-aging creams within the brand's range. We are given some ingredient information regarding the cosmetics within the range. We are told, for example, that the Bonnebell Lip Smacker Lip Gloss, which was created in 1973, contains Castor Oil, Sesame Oil, and Beeswax. The cosmetics in the Bonnebell range are very reasonably priced. There does not, however, appear to be any kind of money back guarantee, nor is there a manufacturer's offer of a free trial size sample with purchase.
The official website does recount the story of how the Bonnebell range was launched by its founder J.G Bell. Those who are interested in the history of cosmetics in the United States will find this story interesting to read. This range has a loyal following, which is probably due in some respect that to the fact that it is a long-established brand. As far as cosmetics go, Bonnebell looks pretty solid and affordable choice, but we'd probably go somewhere else if the goal was to do more than just cover up persistent wrinkles.
The Good
- There is an official website for the Bonnebell brand.
- The products can be ordered directly online.
- The cosmetics in the Bonnebell range are very reasonably priced.
The Bad
- There are no anti-aging skin care products within this range.
- There are other cosmetic brands to choose from which are also reasonably priced.
- There does not seem to be a money back guarantee.
- While Bonnebell make an affordable and easy-to-find cosmetic line, they don't seem to be heavily involve in anti-wrinkle treatment, or even in general skin care.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day, if you are looking for a cosmetics line that also sells anti-aging treatments then this is not the brand for you. Although it does sell some skin care products such as cleansers it does not sell anti-aging products at all. There are, however, a number of anti-aging products for sale on the market that are believed to be effective following clinical trials, such as products that include potent ingredients like Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline.

The secrets to building successful interpersonal relationships
NAPLES - Are you a people person? Are you a person who everyone gravitates to and likes, or are you the type everyone tries to avoid? Despite some theories, interpersonal skills can be learned. It is possible to improve your interpersonal relationships.
One characteristic of a person skilled in interpersonal relationships is empathy. Empathetic managers and employees express to others a sense of understanding and compassion.
One manager who understood empathy well, showed it in a simple way: His employees often expressed to him their work frustrations, career disappointments and even their family problems. All of his employees got the impression he really understood how they felt. His secret was he would listen intently.
He said virtually nothing, but his attitude said a lot. He gave the employee his undivided attention and nodded in understanding, even handing out tissues when they cried. However, he never let the employee or himself off the hook. He gave the problem back to the employee with the challenge to solve it. He would ask, "What are you going to do?" and "What can I do to help you get what you want?" He showed compassion and understanding, but never pity. This is empathy.
Being able to laugh at yourself is one of the greatest talents interpersonally skilled people have. It shows others you take responsibility for your mistakes. Revealing some of your human frailties, opening up and sharing your personal self — all of these contribute to solid interpersonal relationships. This can be scary but it is well worth the risks.
Just remember, when you use humor, keep it positive. There is nothing funny about hurtful sarcasm or put downs, even of yourself!
Basic common courtesy at work also helps to build strong relationships. Courteous behavior tells others you are thinking of someone other than yourself. It also says you are treating others as you wish to be treated. It shows you are an approachable person, willing to engage in a relationship. Try a simple and sincere "good morning" when you arrive at work.
One of the greatest compliments a person can receive is that they are fair and can be trusted. Trust is a fragile thing. It must be earned. If it is violated even once, it may never be regained. To get the trust of others, you must demonstrate that you will be honest and that you have their self-interest in mind. Words usually aren't enough. Only actions — your actions — are what really matter. Trust must be at the core of interpersonal relationships.
People at work often say hurtful things that undermine interpersonal relationships. Many times they don't realize just how dumb their actions or words are until it's too late. And unfortunately, some never learn, even after it's been pointed out repeatedly. Think before you act or speak. Try analyzing the person with whom you are working or talking with. This will help you avoid putting your foot in your mouth. Learn what they like or dislike, what offends them or doesn't. You will then be able to predict better how people will react to you.
By building trust, showing courtesy, being empathetic and being able to laugh at yourself, you will steer a better course through the pitfalls of interpersonal relationships. And you will protect yourself from the negative consequences of unwittingly hurting others.

This whole situation makes me sick. Not only for the victim but for the situation as a whole.
I will admit it..I am clueless as to what should be done to correct the situation short of waiting till Ray is out of office and we hopefully get a mayor with the desire and the ability to change the city for the better.
I dont get it...I never see any cops in that part of the quarter and there are 132 of them? Where the f are they?
It is not the job of the Federal govt to react to situations like what happened after Katrina. It was the responsibility of the individual, the city, parish and the state.
Read Rising Tide and you will see that after the floods of the 1920's the Fed did nothing. They are responsible for protecting us from outside.
You are an idiot.
If you have to be hand fed the contact info (even though the website address is given), then I do not think you would be a candidate for volunteering. But thanks for the bitch.

Problems in Indonesian marine security
By Amelia Hapsari
"How come the movie is about dynamite fishing? Why don't you make movies about foreign vessels coming to Indonesian waters and taking our resources away?" This comment was made by Jun, a friend of the filmmaker, when she told him about her recent works. This friend lived in Central Java and was working as an office assistant in a private school. He argued, "These blast fishers did what they did to find food, but those foreign vessels took much more than blast fishers."
Jun's observation was indeed astute. Compared to her ancient maritime dominance in Southeast Asia, contemporary Indonesia witnessed a sharp decline in marine control and security. Eddy Prasetyono, a security expert quoted International Maritime Bureau that the Malacca Strait and Indonesia was the most vulnerable water to sea pirates. Among 285 pirate crimes on the sea, 117 happened in Malacca Strait and other Indonesian waters. While comprising of 5.9 million square kilometers of terrestrial water, Indonesia did not have sufficient facility for marine surveillance and control.
Indonesian Navy Chief Tedjo Edhy Purdjianto in a national seminar on February 2009 admitted that the number and the severity of crimes committed in the sea were increasing. The navy admiral also disclosed that by 2008, there were 13 marine institutions who were responsible for marine security and 10 different laws that tended to overlap.
Piracy, illegal foreign vessels, and other marine security problems are eminent in Indonesian waters. The movie was not merely intended to put the blame on dynamite or cyanide fishery. As this website elaborates, the global market of fish trade as well as the lack of sustainable fishery training programs, corruption, and other factors contribute to the marine ecosystem destruction in Indonesia.

260.19.06 regression
2 Attachment(s)
The 256.x series of drivers had been very stable for me. I recently upgraded my machine (i* series...) and I started experiencing alot of lag on my desktop if I ran any 3D games.
For instance I would launch HeroesOfNewerth and if I was to switch desktops to view ssh/irc there would be a visible lag in displaying new text ( something that isn't present when HoN isn't running)
The 260.x beta drivers came out and I installed them and imidiately experienced a vast improvement in performance - the 2D rendering lag which a 3D app was running was gone
HOWEVER two extreme regressions have been noted
#1 HoN would now crash. in a 40min game I am pretty much guenteed to crash *IF* I CTRL-ALT-{left,right}
the games crashlogs clearly show it is part of the drivers AND associated with pthreads
ALSO some very basic 2D apps start playing up:
When executed under the 260.x drivers and using openbox as the desktop environment the GUI is non-responsive.
IF gvim is launched: gvim -f it is usable but the save/open gtk dialog is non-functional.
Associated gentoo bug on the topic of gvim and nv-260.x
Re: 260.19.06 regression
Well I installed 260.19.12 today and exactly the same issue.
May I ask why these drivers have been classed as stable release by nvidia when this very clear regression exists?
Re: 260.19.06 regression
I can confirm that gvim issue. Hope to see a fixed driver soon, as 256.53 doesn't compile with kernel 2.6.36 on my machine.
Re: 260.19.06 regression
Re: 260.19.06 regression
1 Attachment(s)
You can use 256.53 driver with Linux 2.6.36.
Here's that patch:
Re: 260.19.06 regression
Thanks Artem. Works great.
Re: 260.19.06 regression
I upgraded to 260.19.12 today in hopes of getting rid of video tearing (from both vdpau and non-vdpau apps) and ran smack dab into the gvim problem. Gvim -f is often usable but I have a lot of breakage because I call gvim from about a dozen scripts, none of which use the -f flag.

TSD Sports M116 Sniper Spring Airsoft Rifle
3.5(3 reviews)
From: TSD
30-day limited warranty
Average Customer Review5.0 (1 review)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:For lower end springers, the TSD M100 and M116 are very good for the price. The rifle has a good heft to it and feels very solid despite being mostly plastic (with exception of several crucial parts). It has good effective range (100 to 125ft, 150 max) and is fairly accurate. If you take the time to adjust the hopup, the rifle can be a very good DM/counter-sniper rifle. Remember to use .20g bbs, what you sacrifice in FPS you make up in accuracy.
Things I would have changed:I wish the groove machined into the RIS was deeper and ran the full length of the rail so that I could use the iron sights with the rail on. Not a biggie, but it would have been nice. Use a scope (something better than the red dot they give you!).
What others should know:Invest in at least one extra magazine if you plan on skirmishing with this rifle. If you're going to use it for sharpshooting, you should also invest a decent scope (4x or less).

North Kitsap Man Arrested For Threats Against OC Students
BREMERTON - A North Kitsap man suspected of making threats against Olympic College students was arrested at his home Thursday afternoon by Kitsap County sheriff's deputies.
The 45-year-old made the threats while on the phone with a loan center in Texas, according to Bremerton Police and Olympic College officials. He also threatened to hurt himself, police said.
The call center alerted authorities in Texas, who called the Kitsap 911 center at about 2 p.m., Bremerton Lt. Pete Fisher said.
While sheriff's deputies went to the man's North Kitsap home, Bremerton Police went to the college to evacuate students. They were in the process of evacuating the campus when sheriff's deputies called to say the man was in custody.
The man was taken to the Bremerton Police Department to be interviewed. He will later be taken to Kitsap County jail on suspicion of making felony threats, according to Fisher.
School resumed a normal schedule Thursday and will be open for business as usual Friday, according to OC spokeswoman Jennifer Hayes.

Smashing the wrong facade
As I was getting ready to drive over to Trenton for the governor's press conference yesterday, I rummaged through my bureau to find a T- shirt to throw into the car. I needed it because I like to go for a run on the way home after work. A nice, long run followed by a few cold beers relaxes me.
The first one I found was my "Irish-Americans for McGreevey" T-shirt. My wife picked it up at a St. Paddy's Day parade in Belmar back in 2001. I'm an Irish-American, but I've never been for McGreevey. Still, I've worn the T- shirt on many an evening run.
Even before I got into the car, I knew what was going to happen. Gov. James E. McGreevey was going to admit to being gay. This was already suspected by just about everyone in the Trenton press corps. The only surprise would be whether he would continue as governor after the revelation.
On the drive over, I got to thinking about McGreevey's inauguration. Just for fun that day I had marched with the pipe band of the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh, a club in Belmar of which McGreevey was a member. I banged on a drum as we walked past the reviewing stand where the new governor was standing with his family.
"He looked as if this was the happiest day in his life," I wrote later. "Which it may well turn out to be."
Well, I got that right, though I can't say I'm particularly happy about it. I would have preferred to see McGreevey run out of office in the usual way, by voters who rejected his policies. As for his sex life, I would have been just as happy if that had stayed private forever. He was quite good at playing the role of the beer-drinking, sports-loving Irish guy, a description that fits most of my male friends. It's an easy role for most of us, since it's what we are. With him, it was all a facade. And there is much to be said for facades. If we all knew everything about one another, this country would be more chaotic than Iraq.
The facade that should have been penetrated was not the personal one. It was the political one. Every idea he ever put forth, every program he ever proposed was a fiction. You may think every politician is this way. Not at all. The typical politician, upon proposing a program for property-tax reform for example, invests himself in it. He believes that he is such a smart guy that this must be a smart idea. He will bore you to death talking about it.
Not McGreevey. He was content to utter a few platitudes and leave it at that. To give any real detail would be to alienate people. And he wanted everyone to love him.
"Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am," he said yesterday. "As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused. By virtue of my traditions, and my community, I worked hard to ensure that I was accepted as part of the traditional family of America."
He worked so hard at it that by the time he was an adult, he could put on any persona that fit the moment. Was he a pro-lifer? Yes, in his early days. But then he figured out that only pro-choicers get ahead in the Democratic Party. Was he a tightwad who was going to cut spending and crack down on waste? Yes, until he got into office and had to reward the people who put him there.
"It makes little difference that as governor I am gay," he said before announcing he would resign. True enough. What made a difference was that as governor, he wasn't governor. He never wanted to do the only thing a leader has to do: make tough decisions.
To his credit, McGreevey was never personally corrupt. He came to Trenton to get attention. He got a bit more than he desired.
As he said, it can't have been easy. The rest of us Catholic school kids really can get enough pleasure out of life by something as uneventful as a long run and a cold beer. We don't need everyone to love us, just a few key people. There's no great moral superiority in that.
Over the next few days, the newspapers will be filled with more details of this sordid little episode. But all the details we really needed were there in public during McGreevey's two campaigns. I was amazed that a guy could get elected governor by peddling such an obvious bunch of hokum. That's the real story here.

Retired Cumbrian teacher offers science lessons help in Gambia
Last updated at 16:07, Friday, 08 April 2011
A retired Cumbrian teacher has gone to Gambia to find out how the UK can help African schools teach physics to children.
Laurie Mansfield, from Watch Hill, near Aspatria, has flown out to Gambia for the first time as a volunteer with the Institute of Physics as part of its global Physics for Development programme.
He was a physics teacher for 35 years and worked latterly, before his retirement, as headteacher of Workington Sixth Form Centre.
Mr Mansfield, who has served as a director of Workington Sixth Form Centre for the last 21 years, has taken a suitcase with him full of basic physics school laboratory equipment – including magnets, thermometers and circuit boards.
He wants to help teachers make their science lessons more practical and relevant to pupils.
Laurie will donate the equipment to Sifoe Secondary School, which is hosting his visit, before he returns home.
In the long-term, the Institute of Physics hopes to develop a new education and resource centre near the secondary school, following the model of six others in Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana and Malawi. The centres aim to train local teachers and help students embrace physics.
Mr Mansfield said: "I am excited about the trip and curious to assess the local situation in schools. There will be plenty of opportunity for us to make a difference there.
"What is 'basic equipment' and 'essential teacher training' to us in the UK are scarce resources over there, and not to be taken for granted.
"The impact of an experienced teacher sharing practical teaching skills can be immense, and the impact on the children's education and life opportunities even greater, in the long run."
During his first visit, Mr Mansfield will be assisted by UK charity Jole Rider, which for the past five years has been supporting education in Gambia by shipping refurbished bicycles to the country for children to use.
They help children get to and from school, avoiding what could otherwise be a very long and dangerous journey for them.
Mr Mansfield will also open talks with officials from the Ministry of Education in Gambia to discuss how the Institute of Physics can help them develop their national physics curriculum, provide better training and resources for teachers and support future physics education.
Mr Mansfield is also part of the Mechanics Band in Cockermouth and the town's amateur dramatic society. He is married to fellow teacher Janet, who is also a governor at Cockermouth School.
They have four children.
The Institute of Physics is a scientific charity devoted to increasing the practice, understanding and application of physics around the world.
Donations can be made to the Physics for Development scheme in Africa by visiting www.justgiving.com/iopforafrica/donate

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Jade Schultz shares a unique bond with her coach John.
"I guess I'm just used to my parents being the coach, because my mom is my softball coach, too," Jade said.
"There are different rules when I'm coaching her, because she's not quite as sassy" John said. "At home, you see a different Jade, but in front of her teammates she behaves, and she follows the rules, and she works hard."
"It's better at practice, because I understand him more. I know when he's mad, I know when he's happy, so that helps a lot," Jade said, laughing.
John has helped turn his daughter into one of the best players in the area. Jade is averaging 13 points, ten rebounds, four assists and three steals a game for the (22-1) Panthers.
Even though she's only a junior, she scored her 1000th career point against USC back on Jan. 25.
"I didn't think I was close to it really, but my mom had a big mouth and told me," Jade said.
"It was a secret, and then she got down under 100 and my wife let her know. She can't do math well enough to figure it out from 100 down," John said.
He's clearly joking - we think - but the milestone allowed the duo to share a special moment when John tried to give Jade an honorary gameball.
"She's a pretty tough kid, and she's not much of a hugger, so I told her I wouldn't present the (honorary) ball unless she gave me a hug," John said. "She kind of gave me a half-hug, so then I let her have the ball. It was a fun moment."

Good ol' Dina Lohan. She's on her way to see her detoxing daughter in rehab – TWO WEEKS after Lindsay was admitted. Her visit will be the first by a family member, though Lilo's beloved bodyguard has already stopped by.
Does this seem a little weird to anyone else? Her kid's trying to kick a coke habit, but Dina's too busy working out the deets of her new reality tv show to notice. Maybe that's a little harsh, cuz she is making some huge sacrifices to see her first-born. Word is that Mama-Lo's trip will force her to miss out on the "Paws for Style" charity event she was scheduled to attend in NYC next week. She chose her daughter over dogs. How noble! I see a "Mom of the Year" award in her future!

I recently spent a lot of time explaining to an AT&T rep and even longer explaining to her supervisor (who frankly didn't want to hear it), that because AT&T are imposing caps on their DSL service we should be able to cancel our service without incurring any early termination fees.
The rep and supervisor were adamant that because we had not "yet" gone over the cap and had not "yet" been charged overage fees that this would not affect us and no matter what we argued, we would be subject to early termination fees of between $65 an $250 depending on if they charged us for the remaining time or for the "full price" of the offer we had signed up for.
If I had to listen to that rep say "Are you telling me that you'll send more than 7 million emails a month?" or "Are you telling me you watch more than 88 films a month?" one more time, I would have gotten highly indignant.
Actually, considering AT&T's new terms, that might have worked better for them.
I digress.
Needless to say, we didn't agree and ended up filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
It's amazing what a quick complaint to them can do.
Today Sara received a message from Marian Hall, Office of the President AT&T, to call her back to discuss our complaint.
I actually made the call and, prepared for a confrontation on the matter, was unprepared for this soft spoken older lady to tell me that, upfront, the service would be cancelled with no termination fees because of the cap issue and because I was well within the deadline.
She was the first human /compassionate sounding voice I've heard since we first started dealing with AT&T.
Anyway, for those of you who are AT&T DSL / U-Verse subscribers looking to switch to another broadband provider, just make sure you call in before the deadline and you should be able to terminate with fees.
If the reps say you can't, just point them to this blog post, tell them exactly what Marian Hall said and failing that file your complaint with the BBB.

According to Wiki:
A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of stock character possessing "extraordinary or superhuman powers" and dedicated to protecting the public.
According to dictionary.com:
su·per·he·ro [soo-per-heer-oh]
noun, plural su·per·he·roes
a hero, especially in children's comic books and television cartoons, possessing extraordinary, often magical powers.
I am here to tell you that Gluten Free Superhero is not saying that *I* am a superhero… Though I think we *all* have it in us. Gluten Free Superhero is here to help *YOU* be the superhero you need to be, that we all need to be, in order to work around these new challenges in eating a gluten free diet.
What makes me qualified to help you? Well, I've been where you are. In fact, I still am there, and likely always will be. Food (ESPECIALLY CARBS ) has always been a go-to for me when I'm emotional (especially angry – weird, right?), bored, or tired. I am always learning, always trying to better what I have done, and always struggling to make the right choices. (Oh, that's right, I'm human.)
Though I can trace my issues back to when I was 16 (hindsight is 20/20, right?) my gluten free journey started in 2004 when I met and fell in love with a man that had had a juvenile oat allergy. This oat allergy, although supposedly "gone," came to haunt him repeatedly, until we finally made the connection that it wasn't just oats, but wheat, and gluten in general. We thought for 4 years that it was YEAST that was bugging him so much. It may well be, but gluten seems to be WAY worse. So, with hubby in the office, dinners were mostly GF, but our boys and I still had normal gluten bread and cereal… hubs just ate leftovers for lunch instead of sandwiches. But man, did he miss his sandwiches.
GF bread was expensive, small, and not that tasty… and in our small town, hard to find. I spent over ONE YEAR researching gluten free cooking and gluten free baking and gluten free flours and how they interacted, before I baked my first loaf of gluten free bread in the summer of 2011. I kept thinking, while I was reading for hours and hours and hours, that there MUST be a way to organize all of this info in a way that isn't so CONFUSING, or OVERWHELMING, or FRUSTRATING…. and damn it! This is gonna be EXPENSIVE!!!!
Eventually, I went gluten free too (accidentally!), and then each of our boys. Wow, the eczema? All but gone. The sleeping habits? Better. My joint pain? GONE. Headaches? Gone. Say WHAT? So I needed to learn more. And boy did I find it. Through more hours and hours of reading.
There are SO many amazing blogs and sites out there, and you will find links to MANY of them here on my site, in my blog. These people have helped to educate hundreds of thousands of people, and will likely help you too.
So why another gluten free site? A couple of reasons:
1) because we *all* LEARN differently. How I say things may sound like complete gibberish to one person, but give another person repeated light bulb moments. I may be funny to you, but severely annoying to your best friend. And your father may have been diagnosed with celiac disease 18 years ago, so he doesn't need any more info, thankssomuch, but you, well you just got a diagnosis of NCGS (non-celiac gluten sensitivity) last week with your GP, and have no idea where to start. We are all at different junctures in our lives. We all have different language and different visuals that speak to us, because we ALL have different world views, different histories and experiences that make us who we are. That's what makes us beautiful.
2) because I am a certified life COACH. And with a huge life change such as this, you might struggle with frustration, confusion and overwhelm. (If not, then you are AWESOME, and I need your autograph. Seriously.) With my coaching skills, I want *help you* see the light at the end of that sometimes really dark tunnel. To help make sense of the confusion. To help organize the overwhelm. And to help you find the knowledge that will dispel the frustration.
3) because I am another voice to come alongside you and assure you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I have been where you are. I have cried when I realised that the food that I had in my house, that I *thought* was gluten free, had some hidden wheat in it, and even though I was starving, I had nothing to eat that wouldn't take me half an hour to make. I have been in gluten fog, not being able to function, forgetting my keys, forgetting my wallet, forgetting where I needed to drop my kids off. I have suffered for YEARS with eczema and other skin issues, chronic headaches and joint pain (I'm talking 8 extra strength acetaminophen and 8 ibuprophen every day, *minimum*) that *magically* clear up when the offenders are out of my diet. Yes, I said offenderS, because I have other things that I eat "free" of… I am THAT person at the party. Really, you aren't alone. It might seem like it, when your family looks at you like you're crazy, when your GP tells you that you shouldn't take gluten out unless you have a positive test for celiac (do you know, by the way, how COMMON false negatives are with celiac testing?), when your friends tell you that "oh, it's just a fad." But I assure you, you aren't crazy, and MAYBE you should (only YOU will know) take out gluten without a diagnosis, and it isn't just a fad.
4) because not everyone *loves* to read blog after blog after website after cookbook. Not everyone wants a story behind every recipe. Not everyone has the TIME to sort all that info out. Not everyone *can* sort all that info out. (Believe me, it is *a lot.*) I want to save you TIME.
5) because not everyone can – or wants to, or *should*, for that matter – buy prepackaged gluten free goods. They are usually just as processed and nutritionally empty as their wheat-filled counterparts, and making your own will save you MONEY, give you the knowledge that you know what's in what you and your family are eating, and damn it, it just feels good.
As GlutenFreeSuperhero.com is in its infancy, there isn't much to the site to explore right now. Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google+ to see when I add new goodies. Heck, come back here often, I'll be adding more stuff every week. And don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
I'm honoured to share your journey with you. If you need to, feel free to drop me a line.

COLUMBIA — Bruce Ellington noticed a difference with his quarterback when this season began.
Suddenly, South Carolina senior Connor Shaw saw the whole field. No longer did he automatically throw to his primary receiver. In games, the Gamecocks' second-year starter scanned the secondary, passing over targets like he was going down a check list. He stayed in the pocket, more reluctant to tuck the football and run.
It's the transition every quarterback must make. Ellington sees Shaw on film, and he's convinced the senior made that leap.
"Last year, he'd look at the first option and run out," said Ellington, USC's top receiver. "But this year, he's taking his time. Coach is talking to him — who's open, who's not open. He's staying in the pocket and throwing the ball.
"He's just got that confidence. He's coming out to practice and being a leader. That's what it takes as a quarterback — to control the offense — and that's what he's doing."
In a rare moment of transparency Tuesday, Shaw was blunt. Yes, he said, this is the best he's ever played. His numbers show it. Of course, his reputation still lags behind.
In the SEC, there is no shortage of quarterback talent. This is the conference that produced last season's Heisman Trophy winner, and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel wasn't even selected to the Preseason All-SEC First Team. That distinction went to Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. Others thought Georgia's Aaron Murray deserved it. Neither had the best stat line through the first four weeks, with LSU's Zach Mettenberger becoming a breakout star.
On and on the list goes, no mention of Shaw. He's always been viewed a cut below the elite. Early this season, he boasts something Manziel, McCarron, Murray and Mettenberger can't.
Shaw is the only SEC quarterback to toss at least six touchdowns with no interceptions. He hasn't thrown it to the other team in his past 116 attempts, going back to last season's win against Wofford. It's the longest streak in his career.
"I'm playing well, probably better than I have in the past," Shaw said. "As far as protecting the ball, and doing things differently, I'm just playing smart. I'm not forcing things. I'm taking what the defense is giving me."
USC coach Steve Spurrier would like Shaw to take more.
As a pure playmaker, Shaw has room to grow. His 220.3 passing yards per game don't blow anyone away — though, his 287.7 total yards per game is fourth in the SEC. Shaw is more game manager than superstar, even if USC is on pace to average 30 points per game for the second straight season with him as a full-time starter.
USC has benefited with Shaw behind center. His 66.5 percent completion rate is the highest career mark in program history. Along with Jeff Grantz, Shaw is one of two Gamecocks to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000.
Most important, Shaw is 19-4 as a starter, including 12-0 at home.
But, while Shaw has progressed as a pocket passer, Spurrier is focused on the next phase. He wants Shaw to take more shots downfield, going after more big plays.
"We should be taking more, if I could get him to throw it," Spurrier said last week. "We're calling more, but a lot of times he doesn't throw it. He doesn't think the guy's open, and sometimes it's not. But, at times, I wish he would chuck a few more deep ones down there, when there's an opportunity."
There's always something to improve, but Spurrier finds it hard to complain too much.
The worst thing a quarterback can do is turn the ball over. Shaw lost a fumble at Georgia, a costly mistake late in the game. He hasn't been perfect. Still, with Shaw managing the offense, South Carolina has experienced some of the best quarterback play in program history.
"He's played very well," Spurrier said Tuesday. "He takes care of the ball extremely well. I watched some of those NFL guys toss those careless interceptions, and I say, 'Our guy doesn't do that.' So he's careful where he throws it."

DX Engineering set new standards over ten years ago with the introduction of the industry's best clamps for mounting antennas and element tubing. DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps are available to fit 2.00, 2.50 or 3.00 inch OD tubing with ultimate gripping power. Commercial and industrial engineers and installation technicians all over the world have discovered a diverse range of applications for DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps.
Super Duty Saddle Clamps are designed to be used where maximum torque handling is required on aluminum, steel or stainless steel tubing. Conceived for use by builders of large and heavy Yagi antennas and Log Periodic arrays, these clamps are made in sizes that securely fit the outside diameter of tubing for mounting to a flat plate or surface. Their wider gripping surface equals superior clamping power!
Perfect for antenna construction and mounting, or wherever standard U-bolt saddle clamps and other torque-control products have proven inadequate, Super Duty Saddle Clamps provide maximum grip on booms, masts and element tubing. Unlike stamped or machined-type clamps, Super Duty clamps are cast from a rugged aluminum that grips tubing with a special textured surface and are sized for an incredibly secure fit that resists torque, wind and weather.
Super Duty Saddle Clamps include two cast aluminum saddles (two halves) and a stainless steel reinforcement plate for high strength and superior corrosion resistance. Due to the wide diversity of clamping applications where Super Duty clamps are beneficial, mounting hardware is NOT included. However, a complete line of Armor-Coated and Stainless Steel Hex Bolt Hardware Sets are available for top performance in most mounting applications. Typical Super Duty clamp mounting applications on a 1/4 in. plate require a minimum-length bolt set, as indicated in the chart, linked in "More Detail…" and displayed in the "Required Parts" tab.
Our tradition of innovation continues with the addition of narrower solid saddle clamps, our DX Engineering Heavy Duty Saddle Clamps, available to fit tubing with Outside Diameter (OD) inch-sizes of 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00.
Plan your next project with the best clamps available... period. DX Engineering Super Duty Saddle Clamps are ready to provide superior performance for your antenna, mast or other tubing mounting application.

The Body Shop has provided skin care and bath and body products like the Body Shop Face Treatment for more than 30 years. The company strives to find the best natural ingredients from "the four corners of the earth", according to the company website. The Body Shop is also dedicated to protecting the "beautiful planet and the people who depend on it" through environmental policies and programs. The product line for this company includes bath items, skin care, makeup, hair care and fragrance. The products can be purchased through the company website and at other online retailers. They can also be found at the physical stores that are found in department stores across the country.
We are pleased to see that the company offers a generous 60-day money back guarantee on all purchases; however, we also wish we would have been able to find customer testimonials as well. This information shows that the company stands behind the products they sell, and offers consumers the ability to shop with confidence. When we examined the information for The Body Shop Face Treatment, we were happy to see that the company offers plenty of good ingredient and benefit information.
Product Details
We believe it is always a good sign when a company discloses a full ingredient list that allows consumers to make educated decisions about their skin care. The ingredients in The Body Shop Face Treatment include Water, Cyclomethicone, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Behenoyl Lactylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Squalane, Dimethicone, Kinetin, Camellia Olefera Leaf Extract, Butyrosperum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Tocopheryl Acetate, Mica, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Titanium Dioxide, Xanthan Gum, Tin Oxide, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Fragrance, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, DEA-Cetyl Phosphate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben.
Unfortunately, we do not see anything in the formula of The Body Shop Face Treatment to suggest that it would be particularly effective in diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. These substances might include matrixyl, argireline, soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are all conspicuously absent from this list. We are further concerned with the fact that there are so many parabens listed at the bottom of the formula, since these substances have been suspected to be possible carcinogens.
The Good
- The Body Shop provides complete ingredient lists and a 60-day money back guarantee.
- The products are available from numerous sources online and in stores.
The Bad
- There are no proven anti-aging ingredients in The Body Shop Face Treatment.
- The company website does not include customer testimonials.
- There are potentially harmful ingredients in the formulas.
The Bottom Line
We know that many consumers enjoy The Body Shop products for the bath and body, and may be tempted to give the skin care line a go as well. However, if you are looking for a product that will effectively turn back the clock on the skin, there are more potent formulas available than that found in The Body Shop Face Treatment.

The great thing about William Parker is that he doesn't stop looking for new approaches to music, as long as they're acoustic and based on genuine interplay between real musicians. On this CD he brings a double quartet, his usual band consisting of himself on bass, Rob Brown on alto sax, Lewis Barnes on trumpet and Hamid Drake on drums, augmented with Mazz Sqift on violin, Jessica Pavone on viola, Julia Kent on cello and Shiau-Shu Yu on cello. Leena Conquest guests on vocals on "Natasha's Theme" and "Natasha's Theme 2". Or, if you want, a male quartet and a female quartet.
Like Matthew Shipp's tribute to Jean Genet on the French RogueArt label, this one is a tribute to and inspired by another great French piece of art, Jean-Luc Godard's movie "Alphaville". In this movie, the futuristic city Alphaville is dominated by the logic of computers and ruled by an evil scientist named Von Braun, who has outlawed love and self-expression. And "love and self-expression" are of course themes close to Parker's heart and they have permeated his career and art.
Adding the string quartet helps to evocate the music of the film itself, with the eery tension and typical movie suspense full of romantic drama and sentimental outbursts. But the strings here are luckily more modern, more avant-garde, offering a great contrast with the free jazz musicians, sometimes limiting themselves to pizzicato chattering in the background, sometimes driving heavy unisono lines accentuating the jazz solos, with an especially gloomy and menacing counterpoint in the long "Dr. Badguy". The overall effect is utterly bizarre, creating a kind of busyness which is too much to grasp at once, because there is too much going on, but still in a coherent way, following its own logic. The jazz dominates, and it's great as you can expect from these artists and there are times, especially in the longer pieces that the strings let them do their thing, leaving some breathing space, but never for long : there they are again, to chase the jazz quartet forward, jabb it in the sides, kick it back, emphasize it, play along in moments of frenzy, move it to weird territory, or offer shades and an overall darkness that is highly unusual, to say the least. Without specifically saying that the string quartet would represent the cold futuristic logic of the evil scientist and the jazz band the proponents of love and free expression (or female vs male :-), at least the tension between good and bad and the overall mood of the film is well-captured by the concept of the double band. And the music is excellent to. Like Parker's "Requiem", this is one you should listen to often before you can appreciate it to the full.
