Feinstein pushes five-year agriculture guest worker program
Farmers fear labor shortage with E-Verify
WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced Tuesday that she intends to file emergency legislation calling for the creation of a five-year agriculture guest worker program so that growers will have the labor force desperately needed to work the fields.
Feinstein, D-Calif., said her proposal, which she plans to introduce next week, would not give amnesty to workers who are in the country illegally, nor would it offer them a pathway to citizenship.
What it would do, she said, is provide a counterfeit-proof "blue card" to immigrant workers who have met certain conditions and would let them remain in the United States with their families for up to five years, providing they work in an agriculture job a certain number of days per year.
A critical workforce shortage has forced growers to turn to undocumented workers to pick their crops because they are unable to find Americans willing to do the work, Feinstein said.
"I have come to have a great respect for people who have the stamina and the ability to be able to do these jobs," Feinstein said. "Now, I've also come to the conclusion that Americans don't — and don't want to have — the stamina and don't want to do those jobs. The people who do, I think, should."
Feinstein disclosed her plans for a temporary guest worker program at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing prompted in part by a separate piece of legislation, which would require employers to use an online verification program to check the immigration status of potential workers.
The program, known as E-Verify, is already available for businesses to use on a voluntary basis but is mandatory for federal agencies and some federal employees.
Legislation mandating use of the E-Verify program has passed the House Judiciary Committee and is now headed for a vote on the House floor, where it is likely to pass.
A number of agriculture groups warned during the Senate hearing that mandating the use of E-Verify without some sort of mechanism to let growers hire desperately needed labor would devastate the industry.
"In the absence of a workable ag labor program, E-Verify not only promotes the movement offshore of what was once U.S. production, it is a jobs killer for rural America," said Tom Nassif, president and CEO of the Western Growers Association, an Irvine-based trade group representing produce farmers in California and Arizona.
Feinstein and other Democrats have been pushing for a decade for Congress to pass an AgJobs bill that would set up a temporary guest worker program for agriculture employees who are in the country illegally.
Such a program is critical, supporters argue, because the only other mechanism in place to help growers find workers is the H-2A visa program, which allows foreign nationals to enter the United States for temporary or seasonal agricultural work.
But the H-2A "is utterly failing the agricultural industry," Nassif said, citing complaints that the program is too administratively burdensome, is implemented ineffectively and is too unresponsive and inflexible to meet agriculture's labor needs.
Yet despite the labor shortage, the AgJobs bill has never been able to win congressional approval, partly because it would have allowed cardholders to apply to become permanent legal residents under certain conditions.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, suggested the mandatory E-Verify bill pending in the House and the passage of similar laws in at least 18 states might have created the climate for Congress to pass a guest-worker bill like the one Feinstein is proposing, as long as it doesn't offer undocumented workers a pathway to citizenship.
But Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said that while he believes a guest-worker program could be crafted in a way that would be passable and serve national interests, five years would be too long to let undocumented workers stay in the country. Guest workers should not be allowed to stay more than a year and should not be allowed to bring their families, Sessions said.
"You are not entitled to unlimited, low-cost labor," he told the agriculture representatives testifying before the committee.

Marshall Chess: All the right moves
Unquestionably one of only a handful of record labels that can claim to have changed the course of popular music, Chicago-based Chess Records - in signing and developing some of the most seminal artists in recorded music history, including the likes of Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Howlin' Wolf - undoubtedly provided the early blueprint for some of the world's biggest-ever selling acts (Britain's The Beatles and The Rolling Stones included) and in turn ultimately helped set the fundamental foundation-stone for popular music as we know it.
All of which is currently evidenced in a new 4CD box set 'A Complete Introduction To Chess'. Which - acting as an informative and indispensible guide to the legendary label - features a staggering 100 tracks, including UK chart hits from the likes of rock & roll icon Chuck Berry; America's original Queen of Soul Etta James; mid-Sixties soulstress Fontella Bass; plus crossover jazz/soul pianist Ramsey Lewis. All of which additionally proves how - while known originally and primarily as the home of the blues - Chess' varied output during its quarter-century existence (1950 to 1975) also later extensively encompassed such varied black music styles as doo-wop, R&B and soul as well as progressive new directions in psychedelic jazz and funk.
… Which in turn proves the ideal cue for Pete Lewis to speak in-depth to Marshall Chess - son and nephew respectively of Chess Records founders, Polish American immigrants Leonard and Phil Chess. Indeed, having started working at his family's label at just 10 years old, Marshall would ultimately end up doing everything from pressing records and loading trucks to producing over 100 Chess Records projects and eventually heading-up the label as President (after its GRT acquisition in 1969), before quitting in 1970 and going on to become founding president of Chess-influenced British rockers The Rolling Stones' high-profile own label Rolling Stones Records.
Indeed, with Chess' relevance in contemporary music ranging from hip hoppers sampling late-Sixties Blues albums like Muddy Waters' 'Electric Mud' and Howlin' Wolf's 'The Howlin' Wolf Album' to London girls Amy Winehouse and Adele's take on vintage soul harking back to the Sixties US R&B chart-toppers of the aforementioned Etta James, 68-year-old Marshall proves a highly-informative, enthusiastic and all-round fascinating interviewee.
PETE: What are your ideas on the new 4CD box set 'A Complete Introduction To Chess'?
MARSHALL: "Well, what I realised years ago, is that the Chess label is something people DISCOVER. You know, because music has become such a major part of the culture of the young people growing up, a large percentage of them are really getting interested in the roots of a lot of the music that's happening TODAY. And, with Chess being such a seminal label that was crucial to the whole foundation of rock & roll and pop, Universal Music - who own the Chess catalogue - are smart enough to KNOW that every so many years there's a new audience out there wanting to discover it. So, while there have been many box sets of Chess in the past, the timing was definitely right historically for a NEW one - and this is a beautiful little package! They've picked some great sides; it's been mastered to the highest quality… Plus it shows the DIVERSITY of the label - from the very early blues all the way up to the more sophisticated Seventies R&B at the end."
PETE: So how do you personally recall your early days growing up as part of the Chess Records family?
MARSHALL: "My father was a workaholic. And so, for me to be around him, I had to join him at WORK. So I began working for Chess very young. They tell me that I was actually 10 when I went on my first trip with my father to the South, in a car visiting disc jockeys! You know, this was 1952 - before cell-phones and the internet - and the distribution of records was very different from today! Back then you had to go from town to town, looking for new places to get your records sold and new radio stations to play them… And, in terms of the actual OFFICE, my first job was probably getting coffee! Like 20 times a day I'd walk two blocks to the corner to get drinks for everyone! Then from there I began loading trucks, working in the shipping room… And, by the time I was 16, I was actually working with a record press! You know, I was being raised to be a RECORD man like my father and my uncle. And back in the early days of the record business, a record man was the guy who DID everything and KNEW everything! He found the artists, he recorded the artists, he arranged for the manufacturing, the distribution, the sales, the radio play… You know, he did it ALL!"
PETE: So what was the background behind your father and uncle (Leonard and Phil Chess respectively) first setting up Chess Records in Chicago in 1950?
MARSHALL: "My father did not like working for anyone. He wanted to be independent - and his first business was a liquor store selling alcohol in a very bad black neighbourhood. He'd basically decided to start out there because it was the cheapest rent! And while there, he soon discovered how black people love to have a good time, that they bought a lot of liquor… And so he sold the liquor store and, in the same neighbourhood, opened a corner pub that had a jukebox - which in turn gave him his first experience of knowing what a hit RECORD was! Because obviously there'd be favourites in the jukebox that the people would play over and over. So from there he went on to start a club that had food and live music called the Macomba Lounge, which became a regular after-hours hangout for jazz players. And, because many of the players would get up and jam, it was actually in the lounge that my father was first approached by a blues and jazz record label - Aristocrat Records - to record one of his bands playing live. After which he immediately thought 'Oh, ANOTHER business with black people!'!... You know, because he'd seen how black people loved their music and loved having a good time, he saw recording as another business for him to branch into! Like, after World War II there was a whole rising group of black people in America with money to spend on having a good time. So, when Friday night would come, they'd go out dancing, listening to music... And it was out of that social climate that Chess Records was born! You know, from 1947 to 1950 - as well as running his club - my father was working as a salesman for the Aristocrat label. And then when - in 1950 - the club burnt down in a big fire, my dad basically took the insurance money, bought out the partners of Aristocrat Records - and renamed it CHESS Records!"
PETE; Chess Records' Fifties blues output had a massive impact on the whole British blues and beat boom of the following decade, with groups like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds. What were your thoughts about that at the time?
MARSHALL: "Well, to our surprise, by osmosis somehow that great early Chess stuff got into the UK. And so, very early on, we found a couple of scruffy Englishmen knocking at the Chess Records' door in Chicago saying 'We're The Chess Records Appreciation Society from England'!.. I mean we didn't even know what they were TALKING about! But anyway, I took them and I showed them the Chess Master Book, which was like a big black book with everything written in script - this was before the days of typewriters and computers in the office - and they put their hands on that book like it was The Holy Grail!.. And that was our first inkling of what was happening in England! But then, as you know, shortly after that groups like The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and The Kinks all started doing Chess material and talking about Chess artists. The Stones were pushing Bo Diddley and Howlin' Wolf; The Yardbirds were pushing Sonny Boy Williamson... Plus there were shows like 'Ready Steady Go', who'd bring the Chess artists over and put them on television in England... So yeah, I definitely credit the English with really helping break the legacy of Chess to a whole new audience."
PETE: A Chess' artist of significance was surely Etta James. Who, by scoring consistent US R&B success, shortly after her arrival at the label became dubbed America's first Queen of Soul…
MARSHALL: "Yes, because Etta was - and still is - undoubtedly a brilliant artist, we enticed her over to Chess… And we of course we ended up having hit after hit! You know, once we created the formula of recording her with violins and a symphony orchestra for such standards as 'At Last', things broke wide open for both her and Chess. And as a person, Etta was very close to my family - especially my father. But, though he had a great rapport with her, when he'd produce her in the studio they'd be ROUGH on each other! He'd push her until she'd cry; he'd rip up her contract... Anything to get that EMOTION out of her! You know, my dad knew how to get emotion out of a singer just like Alfred Hitchcock knew how to get emotion out of an actor!"
PETE: Etta James's success also spearheaded Chess' move into soul music in the Sixties, via such legendary acts as The Dells, Fontella Bass, Billy Stewart, Mitty Collier…
MARSHALL: "Well, like I said, we were in the black record BUSINESS. We'd started in the Fifties with the blues, but then we became very aware that the market was CHANGING. You know, blues morphed into soul music, into R&B… And then Motown exploded with a whole OTHER sound. So yeah, we were riding the WAVE! Because both us and our artists wanted SUCCESS! Again, like I said, for us it wasn't just trying to make great records for ART'S sake. It was about trying to make great record for BUSINESS' sake! Because what the artists and my family learnt very early, was that the greatest music made the most MONEY! Which is why Chess had so many rare and unissued tracks. We RECORDED a lot, but only put out what we thought was GREAT."
PETE: A major force behind Chess' success with soul music was producer and song writer Billy Davis. Who, having previously written in Detroit with then-future Motown Records' boss Berry Gordy, worked for Chess from 1960 to 1968…
MARSHALL: "Yes, Billy Davis made a BIG difference to the Sixties era of Chess. And what a lot of people don't know, is that both Billy and Berry Gordy first came to Chess with a label called Anna Records - which was named after Berry's sister Anna Gordy. And the first Miracles' record - 'Bad Girl' - did actually come out on Chess! But then, when Berry decided to found Motown and went back to Detroit, we enticed Billy to STAY! Because we knew that this R&B/soul thing was taking over and replacing the blues - and that Billy was a great PRODUCER! So Billy stayed with Chess, and of course ended up having SO much influence - with hits like Fontella Bass' 'Rescue Me' (a 1965 transatlantic pop and R&B smash) to Mitty Collier's 'I Had A Talk With My Man Last Night'.. You know, one after the OTHER!... I mean, Chess in general during that time had some really great soul acts - from people like Sugar Pie DeSanto and Billy Stewart right up to groups like The Dells, who for that sound became our flagship act in the late Sixties when we paired them up with our great arranger Charles Stepney."
PETE: The late-Sixties also found you personally branching out to create your own, more experimental Cadet Concept label as a division of Chess Records…
MARSHALL: "The thinking there was simple - I wanted my own label! You know, I'd paid my dues; I'd worked eight years under my family... And the secret was, I had the key to the recording studio - and it was empty most nights! So the whole thing started with an idea called The Rotary Connection - a multi-racial-slash-psychedelic/soul/jazz group who had the great artist Minnie Riperton in it. You know, the great thing about being owners of a record label is you can do whatever you WANT! You don't have to listen to anyone's opinion, you can do different things without the criticism... And, though it didn't do much overseas, as the first of my own projects The Rotary Connection did sell fantastically well in the States!"
PETE: So what are your memories like of the late, great Minnie Riperton (who later, after signing with Epic Records, became an internationally successful solo artist in the latter half of the Seventies before her untimely death from cancer in 1979)?
MARSHALL: "Minnie Riperton and I were very close friends. She began singing professionally at 16 - while in High School - in a girl-group called The Gems, who were signed to Chess. Then at 18, after graduating, she became the front-door receptionist at Chess - while also doing a lot of background singing on records by people like Bo Diddley. So - as we'd become good friends - when I put together the idea for The Rotary Connection, she was the first person I WENT to. You know, she had this high note that I totally loved; she had a great set of lungs; she could sing... So I put her together with this young band of players I'd used for some other Chess albums; I added strings and The Chicago Symphony Orchestra… And that became The Rotary Connection!"
PETE: So what were your reasons for leaving Chess Records in 1970?
MARSHALL: "Well, what happened is my father - unexpectedly and surprisingly - decided to sell Chess Records. Which made me quite shocked and depressed, because I'd always felt I'd been raised to run it. He basically wanted to sell Chess Records -plus a black radio station he owned - and get into black television, and I was gonna get a nice bit of money for my part of Chess and start my own label. But then, six months after Chess was sold, my dad died unexpectedly while the radio station was still in the process of being sold. And the people who'd bought Chess then made me label President - and I HATED it! You know, the new owners (GRT) were just TERRIBLE! They fired most of the people, they wanted to close the studios... Like all big business, they didn't understand what they were BUYING! I mean, they were buying this fantastic creative machine, and they just destroyed it! So I was very unhappy - and QUIT!... And then six months later I ended up as founding president of The Rolling Stones' new label, Rolling Stones Records ."
PETE: So how would you sum up in general the significance of Chess Records?
MARSHALL: "I'd say, if not the greatest creative label of all time, Chess is at least in the Top Three! And the reason why I say 'greatest' is that - even though I think Atlantic and Motown are fabulous - they didn't have the BREADTH of Chess. And the thing that really sets Chess apart is the fact that that electric blues and that early Chuck Berry/Bo Diddley stuff really did lay the foundation of ROCK & ROLL! And rock & roll changed the WORLD! I mean, when Carl Sagan - the famous astronomer - sent Voyager 1 and 2 into outer space to contact aliens, they put a disc on the satellite. And that disc contained Shakespeare, Mozart, Beethoven - and 'Johnny B Goode'! And I often told my children, when they were very young, 'Your grandfather produced a record that's representing the earth to ALIENS!'... Now, what could be better than THAT?!"

What is the base of your irrigation system?
Order within 0hrs 0mins for same-day shipping!
*Not available with backorder/drop-ship items. See Shipping Policy
Patented pest control system that utilizes an existing sprinkler system to automatically apply a natural concentrate to all lawns and gardens to kill and repel mosquitoes and other biting insects like midges, black flies and no-see-ums. Select how often you want to treat and it does the rest! Warns you when low on concentrate too. For use with Mosquito Magician Concentrates. Safe for your family, pets, and the environment. Install it yourself or have your irrigation professional install it in 2-3 hours, for an average house.
This model specifically utilizes existing in-ground sprinkler (irrigation) systems to apply an effective treatment to all lawns and gardens, and can be installed into any new or existing sprinkler system. The advanced electronics monitor and control the sprinkler system, allowing it to distribute the natural concentrate to all lawns and gardens. A high pressure pump accurately injects the concentrate into the stream of water so that it spreads evenly on all plants and lawns. The system circles through, completely automatically, zone after zone, until all areas have been treated. Typically it would deliver a few ounces per treatment, depending on the garden/lawn size. The system is fully automatic and can be preset schedules each week.
100% Automatic
Once the system is installed, you're done. The system will automatically run on a schedule that works around your watering schedule, and it will let you know when it is running low on concentrate.
100% Safe
The Sprinkler Magician concentrate is completely safe for children, pets, and guests, whether wet or dry.
Long Lasting
Unlike other systems that run with your watering cycle, the Sprinkler Magician is smart enough to only run after your watering cycle is over. This allows the concentrate to stick to dry plants and not be washed away. The result is long lasting pest protection.
Fertilization Cycle
With the Sprinkler Magician, you have the option to include a fertilization cycle along with your watering and pest control cycles. This keeps lawns and gardens lush and healthy (and pest-free!).
In addition to treating plants and lawns for biting pests, the Sprinkler Magician system can also (optionally) dispense liquid fertilizer to gardens and lawns. This is a great way to fertilize, giving complete coverage and a lush, green lawn using 100% natural fertilizer through your sprinkler system. Studies show that liquid fertilizing is more effective and environmentally responsible than other methods.
Sprinkler Magician is continually testing and developing concentrates that will be designed to repel other animals that may be pests in certain regions.
Sprinkler Magician supplies a power natural concentrate called ''Mosquito Magician.'' The Concentrate has all natural ingredients but unlike many of our competitors we use no less than 6 active ingredients.
To ensure the maximum effectiveness of the applications, the system is set up to defer pesticide treatments for an hour if the irrigation system has run within the last 6 hours. This allows the plants to dry off which allows maximum adhesion of the pesticide to the plants for best residual action.
There is the option to have the system run either daily, every 2 Days, twice a week, or once a week. How often you choose to run the system depends on your local conditions, the amount of mosquitoes in your area, as well as the amount of rainfall. You can change the setting any time you want to.

What happened to my 4GB of RAM?
Q: My system says the maximum is 4GB, so I've installed
it BUT not all 4GB are showing up in Windows. Is there something
wrong with the memory or my machine?
Here is a
good semi-technical article summing up the basics of what's
going on behind the scenes, which should help give you a clear idea
of the situation.
Dude, Where's My 4 Gigabytes of RAM?Due to fallout from a recent computer catastrophe at work, I had the opportunity to salvage 2 GB of memory. I installed the memory in my work box, which brings it up to 4 gigabytes of RAM-- 4,096 megabytes in total. But that's not what I saw in System Information:
Only 3,454 megabytes. Dude, where's my 4 gigabytes of RAM?
The screenshot itself provides a fairly obvious hint why this is happening: 32-bit Operating System. In any 32-bit operating system, the virtual address space is limited, by definition, to the size of a 32-bit value:
232 = 4,294,967,296
4,294,967,296 / (1,024 x 1,024) = 4,096
As far as 32-bit Vista is concerned, the world ends at 4,096 megabytes. That's it. That's all there is. No más.
Addressing more than 4 GB of memory is possible in a 32-bit operating system, but it takes nasty hardware hacks like 36-bit PAE extensions in the CPU, together with nasty software hacks like the AWE API. Unless the application is specifically coded to be take advantage of these hacks, it's confined to 4 GB. Well, actually, it's stuck with even less-- 2 GB or 3 GB of virtual address space, at least on Windows.
OK, so we're limited to 4,096 megabytes of virtual address space on a 32-bit operating system. Could be worse.* We could be back in 16-bit land, where the world ended at 64 kilobytes. Brr. I'm getting the shakes just thinking about segments, and pointers of the near and far variety. Let us never speak of this again.
But back to our mystery. Where, exactly, did the other 642 megabytes of my memory go? Raymond Chen provides this clue:
Ian Griffiths offers a more detailed explanation:
And if you think devices can't possibly need that much memory-mapped IO, I have some sobering news for you: by this summer, you'll be able to buy video cards with 1 GB of video memory.
To be perfectly clear, this isn't a Windows problem-- it's an x86 hardware problem. The memory hole is quite literally invisible to the CPU, no matter what 32-bit operating system you choose. The following diagram from Intel illustrates just where the memory hole is:
The proper solution to this whole conundrum is to use a 64-bit operating system. However, even with a 64-bit OS, you'll still be at the mercy of your motherboard's chipset and BIOS; make sure your motherboard supports using 4 GB or more of memory, as outlined in this MSKB article.
264 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 / (1,024 x 1,024) / 8 = 2 exabytes
In case you're wondering, the progression is giga, tera, peta, exa.
Although the performance benefits of 64-bit are somewhat dubious on the desktop, a 64-bit OS absolutely essential if you run applications that need to use more than 2 GB of memory. It's not common, but we're getting there.
The memory hole for IO still exists in the 64-bit world, but most modern BIOSes allow you to banish the IO memory hole (pdf) to some (for now) ridiculously high limit when you're running a 64-bit OS. Don't get too excited, though. The user-mode virtual address space in 64-bit Windows is a mere 8 terabytes. Suffice it to say that we won't be running out of physical or virtual address space on 64-bit operating systems for the forseeable future. It's the final solution, at least for the lifetime of everyone reading this blog post today.
Here's one parting bit of advice: if, like me, you're planning to stick with a 32-bit operating system for the next few years, don't waste your money on 4 GB of RAM. You won't be able to use it all. Buy 3 GB instead. Every motherboard I'm aware of will happily accept 2 x 1 GB and 2 x 512 MB DIMMs.
* Could be raining.

You can also check this Microsoft support article (© 2007 Microsoft Corporation.) talking about this in regards to Windows Vista:
Note You can access the System Information dialog box in the following
ways:• Click Start, type System in the Search box, and then click
System under Programs.
Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This is known as memory-mapped I/O (MMIO). For the MMIO space to be available to 32-bit operating systems, the MMIO space must reside within the first 4 GB of address space.
For example, if you have a video card that has 256 MB of onboard memory, that memory must be mapped within the first 4 GB of address space. If 4 GB of system memory is already installed, part of that address space must be reserved by the graphics memory mapping. Graphics memory mapping overwrites a part of the system memory. These conditions reduce the total amount of system memory that is available to the operating system.
The reduction in available system memory depends on the devices that are installed in the computer. However, to avoid potential driver compatibility issues, the 32-bit versions of Windows Vista limit the total available memory to 3.12 GB. See the "More information" section for information about potential driver compatibility issues.
If a computer has many installed devices, the available memory
may be reduced to 3 GB or less. However, the maximum memory available
in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB.
Note When the physical RAM that is installed on a computer equals the address space that is supported by the chipset, the total system memory that is available to the operating system is always less than the physical RAM that is installed. For example, consider a computer that has an Intel 975X chipset that supports 8 GB of address space. If you install 8 GB of RAM, the system memory that is available to the operating system will be reduced by the PCI configuration requirements. In this scenario, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory that is available to the operating system by an amount that is between approximately 200 MB and approximately 1 GB. The reduction depends on the configuration.

October 31, 2011 In 1975, the Khmer Rouge told the family of Peou Nam that their father had been executed. In fact, he'd been bludgeoned and left for dead twice — but survived both times. A dream, an inexplicable impulse and the work of psychics brought the Cambodian family together after 36 years.

I've been trying to find ways to reduce the amount of information about me that's tracked every time I do anything online. I don't like that every piece of activity is tracked, analyzed, and sold. I've said over and over, that if any government or agency had proposed tracking this much data on every citizen, there would be an uproar. But we just shrug it off when it's done by the big online properties.
So I have just sworn off using the Google search engine. Well, as much as physically possible – it's still built into to so much that it's absolutely impossible to completely withdraw from Google.
But, I'm going to try switching to DuckDuckGo. Some early tests show that the search engine is decent. The results may be ranked differently than Google's, but that may be a good thing. What interests me isn't the search engine, as much as they give a crap about privacy.
They have a pretty detailed description of what they do to prevent personal info leakage, which makes me want to use DuckDuckGo far more than any of the others. And, the search engine has some pretty cool features, including !Bang.
My biggest concern with DuckDuckGo is how they pay their bills. I'm not seeing any ads on the site, nor in the search results. That's great, but then how are they paying for bandwidth and infrastructure, and who's paying the people running it? So far, it looks to be self-funding, but how will that be sustainable?
Regardless, it's an interesting new search engine that puts privacy to the forefront, rather than quietly tracking everything you do while simultaneously shouting "DO NO EVIL."
I found out about DuckDuckGo through a thread on Reddit, where the developer was responding to additional privacy concerns by modifying the search engine on the fly. That's pretty cool stuff.

The installation of spectacular lighting brings the refurbishment of iconic building, the Rotunda in Birmingham, England to an end. Mindseye Lighting were asked to design a lighting scheme to dramatise the reception area for the newly refurbished Rotunda Building that, in itself, could become a talking piece.
The Grade II listed cylindrical building has been part of Birmingham's skyline since the 1960s and is a key landmark in Birmingham's City Centre. It has recently undergone a makeover and been completely restyled by developers Urban Splash and Glenn Howells Architects encouraging every one of its' 232 residential apartments to sell out on the first launch day.
Mindseye Lighting were commissioned by Glenn Howells Architects and challenged with filling a 9m high void in the entrance lobby. Effectively a large scale chandelier, the final design measures 14.5m long and 4.8m at its widest.
437 Element Lab's pixels are suspended in the ends of polished aluminum tubes, with some lengths reaching almost 6m. The contour and layout of the 'ceiling wave' was carefully considered to maximize interest and viewing angles for the public, with 46 rows of tubes running front to back. A total of 940m of tubes were used to achieve the desired effect. The polished finish provides light reflections making it look just like a chandelier.
Mindseye also generated content which plays out through the LEDs 24/7. The content clips loop every 5 minutes providing continuous waves of colour. A sky scene has been created along with coloured scenes.

RNLI rescues 10 in one day at Polzeath
Posted: August 03, 2013|
The first day of August proved to be one of the busiest this year for the RNLI lifeguards at Polzeath when they carried out ten rescues.
Conditions were perfect with a good two to three foot surf and an estimated 7,000 people headed to the beach, and at the busiest time of the day the lifeguards think there were about 1,200 people in the sea.
RNLI lifeguard Craig O'Rouke, who was helming the inshore rescue boat, said his team carried out nine rescues while fellow lifeguard Christian Parker brought in a person on the rescue board.
The duty lifeguard team also dealt with four minor first aid incidents and six lost children.
Senior lifeguard Philip Bartlett said: 'It was the busiest I've seen Polzeath for a very long time.'

Hotkeys doesn't work in russian layout.
For example, when I hit "A"-button in english layout, it will add a task, but when I hitting the same button in russian layout (it's "Ф") nothing happens.
Obviously, other hotkeys doesn't work too.
All responses
Thank you for your report, we'll look into this issue now.
Best regards,
Thanks ! I also have some suggestions about hotkeys, but I guess that "Votebox" will be better place for that.
Any news regarding this issue? Would be nice to have hotkeys working not only with latin. Lots of web apps can do that.
Hi Alexey,
We will look into this further. Sorry for the inconvenience! For now, Ctrl + q should work as a quick add in Russian so does Enter (to save a task). The tab shortcut should work to move focus to the date field.
In Firefox most of shortcuts should work as following:
instead of q -> Ctrl + q
instead of а -> Ctrl + a
instead of А -> Ctrl + Shift + a
instead of / -> Shift + /
instead of p и s -> Ctrl + p и Ctrl + s
We will consider adding more universal shortcuts in the future.
Ctrl + a - this is standart hotkey "select all".
This hotkey not working correctly in Chrome and in Windows application.
Hello Konstantin,
To add a task at the top, please use Shift+A instead of Ctrl+A :-)

Henry Spencer Ashbee
Henry Spencer Ashbee (21 April 1834 – 29 July 1900) was a book collector, writer, and bibliographer, notorious for his massive, clandestine three volume bibliography of erotic literature written under the pseudonym of Pisanus Fraxi.
Ashbee was born in Southwark, London. He was by occupation a textile trader, the senior partner in the London branch of the firm of Charles Lavy & Co.[1] He travelled extensively during his life, including Europe, Japan, and San Francisco, collaborating with Alexander Graham on Travels in Tunisia, published in 1887. He was an avid book collector, with perhaps the world's most extensive collections of Cervantes and erotica. Influenced by a friendship with the Belgian diplomat Joseph Octave Delepierre, his erotica collecting proceeded with purchases in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris.[2]
Ashbee was a part of a loose intellectual fraternity of English gentlemen who discussed sexual matters with a freedom that was at odds with Victorian mores; this fraternity included Richard Francis Burton, Richard Monckton Milnes, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and others. He also amassed thousands of volumes of pornography in several languages. He wrote on sex under the pseudonyms "Fraxinus" (Ash) and "Apis" (Bee), and sometimes combined them as "Pisanus Fraxi".
Ashbee's will left his entire collection to the British Museum, with the condition that the erotic works had to be accepted along with the conventional items. Because the trustees wanted the materials related to Cervantes, they decided to accept the bequest. The trustees were allowed to destroy any of the books if they had a duplicate, but in practice went much further and destroyed six boxes "of offensive matter which is of no value or interest" including cheaply produced Victorian erotica.[3] The remainder of the works formed the core of the Private Case which were kept hidden from readers in the British Library for many years; they include a work by William Simpson Potter.[4]
Ashbee married Elisabeth Lavy[5] in Hamburg, Germany in 1862. They had one son, Charles (the designer Charles Robert Ashbee, born 1863), and three daughters.[6] His family life grew unhappier as he aged.[7] As he became more conservative, his family followed the progressive movement of the era. "The 'excessive education' of his daughters irritated him, his Jewish wife's pro-suffragism infuriated him, and he became tragically estranged from his socialist homosexual son, Charles".[8] Henry and Elisabeth separated in 1893.[6] Henry Spencer Ashbee is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
Ashbee's most famous works were his three bibliographies of erotic works:
- Index Librorum Prohibitorum: being Notes Bio- Biblio- Icono- graphical and Critical, on Curious and Uncommon Books. London, privately printed, 1877. (The name is a reference to the Catholic Church's list of banned books "Index Librorum Prohibitorum").
- Centuria Librorum Absconditorum: being Notes Bio- Icono- graphical and Critical, on Curious and Uncommon Books. London, privately printed, 1879.
- Catena Librorum Tacendorum: being Notes Bio- Icono- graphical and Critical, on Curious and Uncommon Books. London, privately printed, 1885
The Index was arranged by author, the Centuria and Catena by subject. Ashbee includes plot summaries of the works listed, with liberal quotations. Of particular note are the 300 pages of the "Centuria" devoted to anti-Catholic pornography.[9] Initially only 250 copies of each volume were printed.[10][11][12]

Ashbee is also suspected to be "Walter", the author of My Secret Life, a lengthy sexual memoir of a Victorian gentleman. Gershon Legman was the first to link "Walter" and Ashbee in his introduction to the 1962 reprints of Ashbee's bibliographies; the 1966 Grove Press edition of My Secret Life included an expanded version of that essay.
A character based on him is central to Sarah Waters's award-winning novel Fingersmith: a man obsessively collecting and indexing pornography and works about human sexuality, in an atmosphere of oppressive Victorian hypocrisy.[13]

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these headphones for commuting, school, and hanging out. The sound quality is awesome! Super loud and clear. They look really good too. Connect super easily to my phone and laptop. Definitely recommend these headphones and other outdoor technology products. Have yet to let me down
Get the job done and then some...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used these casually and for snowboarding. They're super comfortable and durable. I think they could've designed the touch buttons a little bit better (made them a little easier to find and push, especially with a thinner glove). I also wish they were a little louder as has been mentioned in other reviews...can't really get them absolutely blaring. They're great though! Def get the job done on the slopes or at home
Mike Cushing, Employee
Great buy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the first headphones I've purchased that are Bluetooth, and I won't go back. I've used these for a couple months now and they keep getting better and better. They are comfortable, have a long battery life, and the mic is good quality. They can take a beating without breaking, which is also a huge plus. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the sound quality. It's good, but not great by any stretch of the word. I still give these five stars because you're still getting a great headphone for a good price. If you're looking for incredible sound quality, you might want to try something different.
Great: Cheap & light till they break
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these headphones. They are cheap, have good battery life, decent sound and phone microphone. As an active wheelchair user these things are indispensable. Imagine not being able to walk and talk at the same time... that's life in a chair (where your hands are needed to move about) until getting a good handsfree bluetooth device. DJ slims are a perfect way to rock out or be able to answer a phone call and talk on the phone with ease while our hands are full. I love these guys while they're functioning, but I have found that they tend to break down and eventually get internal electrical shorts that can: make it hard / impossible to get them to charge (lots of wiggling the cord), can loose audio to once side, can turn off, etc. I am currently filling out a warranty claim to get them replaced for the 2nd time ...but at this cheapish price and with a one year warranty...its still a good deal, even if you need to replace them intermittently.

Forget all the fancy nancy headphones out there. I'm going on two years with these and they just don't quit. I use them at night with my computer/tablet to keep noise down for others. I'm snowboarded COUNTLESS days with them. I've been rained on, gotten them soaking wet, dropped them, abused them, used them...and they keep going...they're currently on my head playing some mad Kesha...but we're not here to judge.
do these fit under a snowboard helmet
do these fit under a snowboard helmet
I would bet against it... and if they did, I'm guessing the helmet doesn't fit.
False! These are so sleek I'm able to fit them under my Bern Watts and Baker with ease...It works best without the button on liner but I've used it both ways with ease. But if you want a better solution, order an audio helmet from BC and order the USB adapter also made my Outdoor Technologies.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awsome love em, have two pairs now. they are great for whats on the market today. could go louder and last longer on a battery but thats what the futures for. i get about six hours off em at max volume and they do great in the cold snowboarding. finally no cables
Fit & Functionality with Bluetooth Tech
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Only great things to say about these wireless headphones.
Very good quality sound for non-noise cancelling headphones, even in noise-filled environments they still perform adequately. I'm probably most impressed by their ability to handle simple phone calls. The mic must be something special because I get more complaints from talking on standard iphone headphones than these.
I wear these when I'm washing dishes, walking the dog, or anything else where cords may get tangled. One overnight charge and you can use them on and off for 2-3 days. I have a smaller sized head and unless I'm doing some inverted yoga or tumbling, they always stay on.

Slim and Comfy
Gotta say these headphones are pretty badass. I like them so much, i got all three colors. Only downside, gets a little annoying when your battery is getting low and it constantly reminds you with a soft beep while listening... so just keep these badboys charged and you'll be set!
VanityMan, Employee
Go wireless!
Purchased this item for myself since I wanted to get rid of some cords in my setup. These headphones are great! The bluetooth works really well and I'm able to roam about the house without worrying about the music cutting off. The headphones has decent bass output and the sound leak is not that loud.
Must Get
Definitely ideal for travel. Lightweight, no chords bugging you and sound quality is great. very comfortable and easy to store and very durable. The only downside is the fact that these have a small blue light on the right side that is actually quite bright so if you are on a plane in the dark it might really annoy your neighbor. That is the only thing I did not like, but overall great headphones and for the price these are top of the line.
Quick question before buying:

Quick question before buying:

Freddie A., Gearhead
They don't cup your ears like regular over the headphones. They will allow moisture to move and your ears to breath. They are great!
These babies rock!

Tipping the Velvetby Sarah Waters
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A classic picaresque, Tipping the Velvet chronicles the adventures of Nancy King, who begins life as an oyster girl in the provincial seaside town of Whitstable and whose fortunes are forever changed when she falls in love with a cross-dressing music hall singer named Miss Kitty Butler. When Kitty is called up to London for an engagement on "Grease Paint Avenue," Nan follows as her dresser and secret lover. Before long, Nan dons trousers herself, and the two male impersonators become a celebrated pair of the stage. But when Kitty betrays her, a solitary, heartbroken Nan reinvents herself as a butch roue — a sort of Moll Flanders in drag — navigating her way through London's seamy and flourishing gay demimonde as she pursues her thrilling and varied sexual education.
"Tipping the Velvet is a luscious turn-of-the-century English tale of lesbians, lust, kept girls, Socialists, oyster-shuckers and of course...love. It's a feast for the imagination, and just when we think we know where the story is going, Sarah Waters takes us in a more seductive and tantalizing direction." Bust
"This is the lesbian novel we've all been waiting for — a sexy, funny, sometimes deeply moving romp through the Victorian underworld, saturated with period detail and almost completely free of activist harangue." Peter Kurth, Salon
"Readers of all sexes and orientations should identify with this gutsy hero as she learns who she is and how to love." Newsday
"A rather formidable debut." Kirkus Reviews
Erotic and absorbing Written with starling power."—The New York Times Book Review
Nan King, an oyster girl, is captivated by the music hall phenomenon Kitty Butler, a male impersonator extraordinaire treading the boards in Canterbury. Through a friend at the box office, Nan manages to visit all her shows and finally meet her heroine. Soon after, she becomes Kitty's dresser and the two head for the bright lights of Leicester Square where they begin a glittering career as music-hall stars in an all-singing and dancing double act. At the same time, behind closed doors, they admit their attraction to each other and their affair begins.
"Lavishly crammed with the songs, smells, and costumes of late Victorian England" (The Daily Telegraph), this delicious, steamy debut novel chronicles the adventures of Nan King, who begins life as an oyster girl in the provincial seaside town of Whitstable and whose fortunes are forever changed when she falls in love with a cross-dressing music-hall singer named Miss Kitty Butler. When Kitty is called up to London for an engagement on "Grease Paint Avenue, " Nan follows as her dresser and secret lover, and, soon after, dons trousers herself and joins the act.
In time, Kitty breaks her heart, and Nan assumes the guise of butch roue to commence her own thrilling and varied sexual educationa sort of Moll Flanders in dragfinally finding friendship and true love in the most unexpected places.
Drawing comparison to the work of Jeanette Winterson, Sarah Waters's novel is a feast for the sensesan erotic, lushly detailed historical novel that bursts with life and dazzlingly casts the turn of the century in a different light.

Within a Tribal Organization
Tina M. Phillips
Qualitative Business Methods
Pam Houston, Instr.
Research Report
Fall 2012 Semester
The purpose of my research report is to draw both positive and negative conclusions to the following questions:
* Do the Supervisor-Employee relations within a tribal organization consist of friends or enemies? * Do supervisors within the tribal organizations make attempts to have professional relationships with their employees ? * Do Supervisors teach their employees about change within a tribal organization and is it implemented in the organization?
The present day supervisors within tribal organizations are all women and though some are men the majority of the workforce are women and could this be the reason for the high employee turnover and lack of skills on the part of the supervisors within the tribal organization.
After interviewing my 6 participants at this time for this research report it is clear that both supervisors and employees and of both gender classes with both recanting stories of how difficult it became when personal issues were brought to work and try to deal with them at work. With three of the participants being employees and three participants being supervisors within a tribal organization. These participants were asked a total of 10 questions mostly dealing with employee issues, supervisor attitudes and learning techniques. Subordinate complaints are that supervisors tend to get into their personal business while they are on the job and this further complicates the problem as the employees need to learn that dealing with a Supervisor is strictly for professional types of problems and not personal issues. It was also asked of the participants not to lay blame or criticize others as this was not my intention but to find out how employees within a tribal organization implement and teach about change to their employees.

Serious support for charging hard in any terrain.
Take your riding to new levels of crazy with the Ride Men's Insano Focus Boa Snowboard Boot. Lightweight enough to wear in the park and supportive enough to stomp the biggest cliffs, the Insano is loaded with top-shelf features for a locked-down fit that keeps your feet feeling awesome all day.
The Boa Focus closure features two reels so you can independently tighten two different zones of the boot so you can dial in the perfect fit in a matter of seconds, every time. It also has The Closer lace guide so tension is distributed evenly throughout the boot. The Intuition Dream Liner sports multi-density foam for maximum rebound and comfort, and it's heat-moldable for a custom fit. Lock Down Turbo liner lacing keeps your foot securely in place, and the Tallboy Harness extends higher above the ankle for extra support.
Harsh landings are mitigated by the shock-absorbing Impacto insole and Gel Pod heel. The Blown Light Apex outsole is so light you'll forget you're wearing boots, yet is grippy enough to maintain traction on icy terrain. Thermo-moldable J-bars keep your heel locked down for better response and less fatigue, and the new articulating cuff and 3D-formed tongue allow for more natural flex.

So far so good
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Right out of the box, these boots were comfortable, nice and snug, allowed for very minimal heel lift, and had a stiff but not overly-stiff flex. So far I've only ridden in them twice but they have felt fantastic and worked great with my Diodes and Jones Flagship. I'd recommend sizing down a full size with these boots. My street shoe size is 12 and I got these in 11. At first I was afraid I had sized down 1/2 size too much, but by the second day riding I could feel them packing out a bit and am confident the 11's will work out.
i found the sizing small. I was an 11 in my DC superparks so ordered 11 in the insanos and they are small. I would recommend going up half a size or trying them on before you buy them like i did
other than the sizing it is an awesome boot
Insane Pain
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After two seasons I started having extreme ankle pain. Turns out it's the lower cable that tightens via the wheel on the outside of the foot. There is a wire, housed in some sort of metal sheath, that goes from where the lace leaves the tongue area and then travels from the medial section of the foot, around the calf, to the dial on the outside.
That sheath is now pulling away from the liner and digging into my ankle. J-bars, pads, etc. aren't helping. Looking for some flexible plastic shims I can insert to try to prevent it. Otherwise, they're toast.
Wish i bought these from Backcountry, but they were a gift from elsewhere, otherwise they'd have come through with something for me.
