You may be wondering how the number of votes tallied in our Law School Dean hotties contest, on the women's side, went from about 1,000 to over 7,000 — basically over the weekend. The answer, in a word: Fark.
Fark is a hugely popular website, started by a fellow named Drew Curtis, that collects weird news and humor. It can be very funny, as long as you don't mind juvenile jokes, and a little — or a lot of — vulgarity.
(Yes, Fark is even more juvenile and vulgar than ATL. Think of it as the xoxohth message board, but without the ambition.)
Anyway, Fark linked to the Law School Hotties contest, and the rest is history.
Fark has a large and active community of commenters. A number of them had some, er, interesting things to say about the candidates.
Check out some selected excerpts from their comments, after the jump.
Here are some of things that Fark.com readers had to say about ATL's Law School Dean Hotties contest. The comments started off with a modicum of intelligence (albeit with a spelling error):
Damn, some of them are really good looking. Kagen [sic] may be on the short list for potential Supreme Court Justices if one retires/dies during a Democrat presidency.
But things went downhill from there — and quickly:
Asha be studying my briefs, for sure!!!
#'s 1, 3, and 6 are very hittable, no doubt about it. [Ed. note: That's Leah Jackson, Erin Keyes, and Asha Rangappa, for those of you scoring at home.]
I think everyone should vote for elana [sic] kagan just to complete screw up the poll.
Who comes up with this crap? Up next: Hottest stenographers!
I'd rather follow the Tyson's chicken truck on a slow and twisting road for 1,000 miles than do Kagan.
Wow.. yeah. Leah, Erin, and Asha are all very hot, but I have to go with the consensus here. Asha is teh winnar. I'd hit her like a ton of lawschool books.
OMG Now that I see the polls… Kagan is in front of Wiggins!? How can that be?? I mean, Mary Jo isn't in my top 3, but she is definately 4th. Elena Kagan looks like Jabba's sister!
I need to school Asha on the penal codes of my state.
1, 3, 6, and 7 [Ed. note: Jackson, Keyes, Rangappa, and Wiggins]. I'd like to res ipsa their loquitor.
Thats creepy… Jackson is my girlfriend's old roommate's mother…
A few comments on the men's race:
I've got to agree with the "the smoking hotness of Evan Caminker, Dean of the University of Michigan Law School." Good god why couldn't we have had someone like this at my University?
Hiram Chodosh has a bit of a Viggo Mortenson thing going on, with a touch less smouldering intensity. The rest are ho hum, worth a romp for a good grade, but I wouldn't stick around once the semester's over.
If [Caminker] was my law prof, i'd damn sure actually make it to class and pay attention. . . and see if he offered any private tutoring 😉
And, finally, some Farksters tried their hand at Photoshop:
Oy. In the words of Rodney Dangerfield, Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan "don't get no respect."

The consolidated net after tax profits of HELEX for H1 2009 amounted to EUR16.9m vs. EUR35.7m in H1 2008, reduced by 53%. The consolidated turnover of the Group dropped by 49%, to EUR32m vs. EUR63.2m in the first half of 2008.

The total value of transactions in H1 2009 amounted to EUR20.5bn vs. EUR49.2bn in H1 2008, reduced by 58%.
In the derivatives market, in H1 2009 the volume of transactions (number of contracts) posted a small 4.6% drop compared to H1 2008 (44.5 thousand vs. 46.6 thousand contracts respectively).
During the second quarter of 2009, the Group also posted non-recurring revenue of EUR1.8m from the claim on the tax paid on the Capital Market Commission fee in fiscal year 2000, which, following the Company's recourse to the Courts against the Greek State, in the final judgment, the Council of State decided that it should be paid to HELEX by the Greek State.
Total operating expenses amounted to EUR11.6m vs. EUR13.6m in the corresponding period last year, reduced by 15%. The Group's EBIT in H1 2009 amounted to EUR19.4m vs. EUR44.7m in the corresponding period last year, a 57% reduction.

Hi Galu,
Can you further explain the issue? So, you tried to invite someone to your project and they did not receive the message?
Now you aren't able to update or change the project? What exactly aren't you able to do?
thats right, I invite someone to my project and they did not receive the massage.
And the projects didn't actualize in chrome extention.
Hello Galu,
Are you certain that you're sending it to the correct email address, the one that this person uses with their Todoist account? Also, are you, by any chance, using the "Leave project" option right after sending the invitation before this person even gets it?
As for updating projects, please clarify what update exactly are you expecting. The more details you can provide the faster and better we can assist you with this - how can you recreate a situation where you can't update a project (change its name? color? move tasks to it?)?
Best regards,

Jesse James Can't Stop Talking About 'Pretend' Life With Sandra Bullock
Days ago, James revealed to PopEater that he apologized to Bullock, and she accepted. But did she also give him the okay to analyze their romance in public, and keep trying to justify his infidelity?
While promoting his memoir, 'American Outlaw,' James seems bent on taking digs at their time together.
"I'm 100 percent to blame," he told Piers Morgan, Friday on CNN, about his cheating. Nevertheless, he expressed relief to be free of the "pretend" Hollywood life he lived while married to Bullock: "I don't know how I survived."
And he made sure to say his new relationship with fiancee Kat Von D is a happier one free of cheating because it's "on a higher level." He declared, "I don't think me and Sandy were ever really friends."
"I was never 100 percent in," he recently told Men's Journal about marrying Bullock, adding, "I cheated on my wife. Guess what? So do millions of other men."
And of course, he famously told Howard Stern that sex is better with his new partner.
Still, is anything more outrageous than an unfaithful spouse calling the betrayed partner's honesty into question?
When Morgan asked James to recall the loving things Bullock said about him while accepting awards last year (including a Best Actress Oscar for 'The Blind Side'), the former reality TV star revealed a deep-seated doubt in her sincerity:
"She said that same speech at four different awards shows," said James. Then he turned the tables on the talk-show host, asking, "What does she do for a living?"
Morgan: "Movie star. Actor."
James: "Oh, ok. Cool."
Morgan: "You think it was an act?"
James: "Um...You know...I think people have to live in that world."
Speaking of recycling dialogue, it was in her 2010 Golden Globes acceptance speech that Bullock looked at her husband and said, "My work got better when I met you, because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back." Now, James finds himself describing Kat Von D in nearly identical language, telling Morgan: "I've never had someone, like, have my back 100 percent, you know?"

This is so ridiculous–they sure give the President a lot of super powers, don't they?
There was a hurricane at the start of the 2008 Republican Convention, too.
A "Christian" pastor actually got down on his knees on TV a few days before the Democratic Convention (which was first in 2008) to pray that God bring rain on the Dems on the last night of the Convention because it was being held outside.
That night was perfect weather for the Dems, but a few days later, a hurricane came on the Repubs. Maybe they should be careful of what they pray for…"God don't like ugly" my grandmother always said.

June 14, 2010
On June 1 the Senate passed a bill that would mandate public utility companies pay industry standard wages to their maintenance and janitorial subcontractors. But the utility companies say passage of this legislation would result in higher energy costs for consumers.
The legislation, sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Gianaris, D-Queens, and Sen. Eric Schneiderman, D-Manhattan, would amend the state's labor laws to close what bill supporters say is a legal loophole that exempts all public utility service workers classified as independent contractors, such as building cleaners, drivers, food service workers, gardeners and security guards, from being paid the same prevailing wages as other employees in similar positions at public agencies and authorities.
The bill (A.10257-a/S.7096-a), which is expected by Gianaris' office to advance soon through the Assembly Labor Committee where it has been since April 21, would also establish criminal penalties for utility companies that do not comply.
Several downstate legislators made appearances at a service workers' rally at the Capitol in mid May. Most of those participating in the rally were contracted by ConEdison Co. to clean offices. They are organized under SEIU Local 32BJ.
"Si se puede," the workers yelled, "Salario justo," meaning yes it is possible, salary justice.
"Don't believe the smokescreen the utilities are going to throw at you," said Gianaris. "They talk about how much this is going to increase their costs but let's also remember that when their workers are not making a fair wage, they are relying on public subsidies — for health care, for housing and for other things. That is passing the cost already onto the taxpayer, and that's something that we're going to seek to end by paying a prevailing wage."
Gianaris said it's disingenuous for utility companies to object to paying workers industry standard wages in the name of keeping energy costs low on one hand while paying corporate executives exorbitant salaries on the other and bringing in billions in profits.
"Con Edison is going to sit here and cry poverty about paying people enough to live in New York. They have no problem paying their executives five million dollars a year to live. They don't talk about the escalating costs of their executives' salaries," he said. "So they line their own pockets, they impoverish the people who work cleaning their facilities and they stick it to the rate payers over and over again."
Although not able to attend the rally, Schneiderman later called the exemption disgraceful. "It's a disgrace that public utility executives are making millions of dollars a year while contracted workers are living in poverty. This bill ends the exploitation of working families at the hands of unaccountable monopolies like Con Edison," he said.
Hector Figueroa, union secretary treasurer, said although most building cleaners in state agencies and authorities earn around $22 an hour, public utility building cleaners earn at most $8.50, sans benefits such as health or dental insurance. Figueroa elaborated on Gianaris' point about workers often receiving public assistance and Medicaid, which taxpayers are already paying for.
"Con Edison and National Grid are being indirectly subsidized by taxpayers because when they pay poverty wages to workers that they employ through contractors, what they in fact are doing is passing the bill to taxpayers because these workers rely on food stamps, are eligible for all sorts of programs, need to use the emergency room because they don't have any health insurance. That's simply not right," Figueroa said.
"There's no reason for this exemption. Period," said Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi, D-Queens. "As a member of the Energy Committee, I follow the rate cases of these public utilities. They are constantly asking for rate increases. Constantly. And for reasons that are not so good," he continued. "They have no problems and no qualms about going to the Public Services Commission and asking for rate increases. The very idea that they're going to put their foot down and say we don't even want to ask for an increase to pay people a prevailing wage is an outrage."
Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, D-Manhattan, a co-sponsor of the bill, said at the rally that the justification for eliminating this exemption is simple. "Workers in this country should be entitled to a fair share of the wealth that they create. And they should be entitled to enough wages to support themselves and their families with an opportunity to grow and be educated and be healthy and live a productive life. That's what this bill is all about," he said.
National Grid Vice President of Government Relations William Flynn defended the exemption in written opposition to the bill, stating, "These individuals do not work for the utility or on utility facilities and have no impact on system operations or reliability."
Patrick Stella, National Grid's Capital District spokesman, clarified this statement by saying that as subcontractors, the workers are not on payroll, and "on utility facilities" refers to equipment and infrastructure, not buildings.
Flynn said because utility companies are private businesses, the prevailing wage standard for public agencies and authorities is not applicable.
"This legislation would wrongly place public utilities into the existing prevailing wage law along with the state municipalities, public benefit corporations and public authorities. This bill would define utilities as a public agency, similar to municipalities or state agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicle, and apply associated requirements on privately owned utilities such as National Grid," Flynn said. "It is not appropriate to force the same requirements on a private business which are required of government bodies, especially when it will result in higher utility bills."
He continued on to say this legislation would add tens of millions in costs for the company, which would be passed on to consumers. "Lawmakers need to recognize that these types of legislative measures will have a direct impact on utility bills for the people and businesses of New York," he said.
Something has to change
June 17, 2010 | 10:37 PM
I never understood how people are expected to live off of minimum wage. The amount of greed has brought this state to it's knees. I barley survive but refuse to go assistance but people with children do not have this option. You can not as a humane society take care of select people but not others. It a smack in the face while diving to work one 3 dollars a gallon watching 7 contruction workers stare into a whole in the street making 20 plus dollars an hour with cushy benefits while your on your way to a job just as Important but with an unethical wage.

Entertainment mogul Russell Simmons has stepped into the controversy about home improvement chain Lowe's withdrawing its ads from TLC's reality TV show All-American Muslim due to pressure from a right-wing Christian group, the Florida Family Association (FFA). Simmons has bought up all the ad space that Lowe's gave up. New York Magazine quotes his announcement on Twitter that "The show is now sold out!" and "keep your money @lowes and we will keep ours."
Lowe's has protested that it has "a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion," a statement quite contradicted by its pulling its ads from All-American Muslim, which follows the lives of five Lebanese families in Dearborn, Michigan. Others including actress Mia Farrow have joined Simmons and strongly criticized Lowe's for its anti-Muslim stance and calls for a boycott have arisen.
California State Senator Accuses Lowe's of Religious Discrimination
California state senator Ted Lieu sent a strongly-worded letter to Lowe's CEO Robert A. Niblock on Saturday, saying that the decision to withdraw the ads was "bigoted, shameful, and un-American" and also "profoundly ignorant."
"Lowe's religious discrimination is the equivalent of a company asserting that it is pulling advertising from the Christian Broadcast Network's 700 Club because the program somehow 'riskily hides' the agenda of Christian radicalized groups such as Aryan Nation. That assertion would, of course, be utter nonsense and religious bigotry."
Lowe's should apologize and reinstate the ads and also carry out "outreach to the community about bias and bigotry." If not, says Lieu, the company could face a boycott and even legislative action for discrimination against Muslims, in possible violation of California laws. ThinkProgress also quotes from the responses of other politicians including State Senator Rashida Tlaib, who is the first Muslim elected to the Michigan legislature and who wrote a letter to Niblock, expressing deep disappointment with Lowe's in effect giving "credibility to these hate groups."
Lieu has said that he expects to make a decision about calling for a boycott of Lowe's on Wednesday or Thursday. The hardware chain has issued a statement that attempt to be conciliatory, but rather suggests that Lowe's, having found itself in the proverbial hot seat for withdrawing the ads, is trying to say, hey, we just sell home improvement supplies, why is everyone getting all political on us?
From Lowe's statement:
"Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views. As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
Suehaila Amen's family is featured on All-American Muslim; she notes that Lowe's has "succumb[ed] to bigots and people trying to perpetuate their negative views on an entire community."
As Lieu points out,
"The show is about what it's like to be a Muslim in America, and it touches on the discrimination they sometimes face. And that kind of discrimination is exactly what's happening here with Lowe's."
Yes indeed. Lowe's response to the demands of FFA clearly shows why there is a huge need for a show such as All-American Muslim.
A full list of the 65 companies that have withdrawn ads from All-American Muslim due to FFA's pressure is posted at the website of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

The only reason I would 'boycott' the show is because it is so terribly boring. These people don't know how to have fun; most are very dull. However, that said, Lowe's went way beyond the boundaries of humanity by allowing a so-called christian society; no such thing except in their minds, to put the muslims in a category all their own. Where in the hell do these religious numbnuts think every human being in the U.S. was dropped off here by the magical stork & that they are the ONLY Americans.
Frankly, I'm sick to my stomach with American (& worldly) thinking. Humanity has become a mentally deficient species.
Who are the other 23 companies who pulled their ads, and why isn't anyone boycotting them?
I will just say that of course you can create your own religions as much as you like. That is your choice. God made his rules, you can decide that you are not going to follow them & that you are going to only LOVE. You can create your own religion where life is a free-for-all & there is no laws or rules but to love everyone. That is called free-will. I mean satan has his own free-for-all religion much like that which you believe in, except for the love part. So you are just making that one addition to differ from satan's religion.
But once you understand that that is YOUR religion & have nothing to do with God. Everything about God relates to law. From physical laws, chemistry laws, the laws of the universe down to the test "dont pick the fruit of knowledge". Everything is about law & order.
You do not have to study it. Same like spirituality. With spiritualty you become involve, you do not read about it.
You speak of me thinking how I was taught to think. Let me just repeat that I have live all my adult life off Africa & I was inducted at a very young age in certain spiritual practises way outside of christianity. That is why I laugh at atheists because I know personally of God & satan because I was immersed in that life. I didnt study it. It was & is part of me. Today, tho I align myself with christianity, I am not really a christian. I usually say that I am spiritual with leanings towards christianity. And I align my beliefs with christianity because I know that religion is the most close religion to God than any other as it comes directly from him. I also know that the Bible is a very potent & powerful book because when I made the move to switch from my former spiritual beliefs to those more aligned to God it wasnot easy to leave. , That book you laugh at was used very extensively, in ways that I doubt many who use it know that it can be used.
So it is not about being taught to think. There are things many experiences that I have been thru that I can speak of. You have been given something very precious that you take for granted & reject. Instead you hold on to fools gold.
It is a spiritual book & no error made in it affected its TRUE message.
I have heard people debate when Jesus was born. Many believe that he was born in October. Suppose the Bible had said that he had born in December (which he never did) & it was an error. Is that important? Is the birthdate of Jesus important spiritually? The account of the birth of Jesus was not written to focus on his birthdate. The account was written to focus on the birth of the Son of God as was predicted by earlier prophesies. EVERYTHING ELSE is just window dressing. Whether 3 kings came & offer him gifts or if it was 10 wisemen or 50 aliens. Doesnt matter?
So I am telling you that not one spiritual iota of information needed to save humanity & prepare them for God have been affected by any of the errors. Whether Mary BECAME a High Priestess, whether God had a consort, whether Joseph had pneumonia...isnt worth squat.
But the message now...that is what we should care about. And that is why I will say that while I do study religion also, it is only as a pastime but I do not see it as being important. One can read all the books on how to ride a bicycle or how to swim, but that can never make one know how to ride or swim. It is a total different ballgame when you get on that bike or go into that water. In most cases, your instructor will tell you to forget all that you know...or think you know. Why? Because riding & swimming are practical endeavors. You do not have t
And therein lies your problem. You have studied religions. There are some things that you just get immersed in, but to study it is to get lost.
But first I will reply to your doubts concerning the authenticity of the Bible due to its translations among other things. So, I will share an experience with you to prove my point. I visited China last year for 6 months on a technical training workshop. I know absolutely no chinese or any asian languages at all. The workshop invited only guests from english speaking countries but it was conducted by chinese who had learned english. Note I said learned english, because they certainly did not know it. During the course they called (& wrote) wrong words, used the wrong tenses, & basically butchered the english language. Yet every guest understood everything single bit of info that was imparted & we all passed the workshop. Why? Because the workshop was not an English test workshop. It was a TECHNICAL workshop. Verbs & tenses & all those errors the Chinese instructors made was not important. They couldve written that Reagan was the 10th president of the US or that King Charles was the King of England, it would not have made no difference to 4G networking.
So, I said all that to say, that the errors made in the Bible never interfered with what the Bible is meant for. The Bible is not a history book or a geography book or an encyclopedia. It is a spiritual book & no error made in it affected its TR
The one who seeks to ascribe the law as root to salvation truely has missed the mark ...it CANNOT save....Only the BLOOD of JESUS. SAVES .
Flesh cannot comprehend it, can only stand by Grace before the LAMB as His own sing to His Glory the song of wonderous thanks which are given in the absolute knowledge that salvation is a Gift...it cannot be paid for and as I have SEEN brings even the hardest, proudest of hearts..(like mine) to tears of gratitude unspeakable. Yes Lord ...Why did you do this for me?...It is a thing from above... How, why ; my heart weeps for LOVE so underserved.
GLORY...to the LAMB of GOD.
Enter in by the narrow gate yes... in Him who SAID ...I AM the WAY, THE TRUTH and The LIFE... THE GATE....beautiful.
Dear lawman...many moons ago, as part of a journey through hell ; I wrote this poem .
Absolutely tender,
Absolutely true;
Understanding all things,
understanding you.
Infinitely loving exquisitely near;
This, is God our Father,
What...have we to fear?
Shortly after this; I entered one day into a room during an eclipse (sun) to cease to be.
In terror i waited as a veil of darkness filled even my heart as I looked into eternity..alone ..forever.
I called upon 1 Name as my last and only hope ....Jesus.
His eternal peace covered and filled me.
I had been delivered out of culpability for ancestral sun worship sacrifice and blood guilt.
Years later I found the poem in an ancient english bible ...in immaculate 100 year old penmanship.
Bob, thank you. :)
by that I mean, how can you tell if what you have is the full and complete translation? The Bible has been rewritten and revised so many times, why? And the books left out (at Nicea) which included some 13 or more chapters written by Magdalene (who was not a whore at all, but a High Priestess), that are in the archives (somewhere) at the Vatican, what might you have missed by not having access? God had a consort named Sophia (called the Mother of All Souls) that was in the beginning, look her up. I am open to discussion but not unless you are able to listen as well as speak.

• Nagurski Trophy Watch List | Outland Trophy Watch List
MADISON, Wis. -- Two more members of the Wisconsin football team have been targeted for major awards with the release of a pair of preseason watch lists Thursday.The linebacker duo of senior Mike Taylor and junior Chris Borland were named preseason candidates for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, while senior left tackle Ricky Wagner and junior center Travis Frederick each were named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy.The Nagurski Trophy is presented to the best defensive player in college football each year by the Charlotte Touchdown Club and the Football Writers Association of America.The Outland Trophy is presented annually by the FWAA to the nation's most outstanding interior lineman. Wisconsin's last two starting left tackles, Joe Thomas (2006) and Gabe Carimi (2010), won the Outland Trophy as seniors.While Taylor and Wagner were added to the Badgers' list of preseason honorees, Borland also was named a candidate for the Chuck Bednarik Award on Monday, while Frederick earned a nod to the Rimington Trophy watch list on Tuesday.A consensus honorable mention All-Big Ten selection in each of the last two seasons, Wagner has appeared in 38 games through the first three seasons of his Badgers career. He has started 24 contests, including all 14 games last year at left tackle, a position he moved to for the start of the 2011 season after previously playing right tackle.A converted tight end, Wagner played in 12 games as a redshirt freshman in 2009 before starting 10 games at right tackle as a sophomore in 2010.Frederick started 13 games for the Badgers as a sophomore in 2011, including 11 at left guard and a pair at center in place of injured teammate Peter Konz. With Konz joining the Atlanta Falcons as a second-round NFL draft pick, Frederick will move to the center role for the Badgers full time in 2012.The Sharon, Wis., native was a consensus second-team All-Big Ten pick last season after redshirting the 2010 campaign. Frederick became the first true freshman in school history to start a season-opener on the offensive line when he snapped as the Badgers' center against Northern Illinois in 2009.He went on to start four games as a rookie and has 18 games under his belt heading into his third season on the field.Frederick and Wagner are among 71 candidates on the preseason watch list, with Big Ten players occupying 12 spots -- second only to the SEC's 19. The award, named after former Kansas All-American John Outland, will be presented Dec. 6 at The Home Depot College Football Awards. The winner will be selected from a group of three finalists announced on Nov. 19.Borland and Taylor up for Nagurski TrophyThe Big Ten's top tacklers from a year ago head into a new season among the candidates for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. The duo of Borland and Taylor also led the way for a UW defense that ranked No. 15 in total defense and No. 13 in scoring defense nationally last season.Borland is on the Nagurski Trophy watch list for the second time in his career after also being named a preseason candidate prior to what became an injury-shortened 2010 season.Last season, he finished second to Taylor in the Big Ten with 143 tackles and earned consensus first-team All-Big Ten honors. The Kettering, Ohio, native ranked third in the Big Ten and tied for 12th nationally with 19.0 tackles for loss, the most by any middle linebacker. His total was also the highest for a linebacker in UW history.In addition, Borland forced five fumbles, a number that ranked second in the Big Ten and tied for seventh in the country. He has forced 10 fumbles in his career, dating back to a rookie season that saw him named 2009 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and earn freshman All-America honors.A first-team All-Big Ten pick by the league media, Taylor led the conference with 150 tackles last season to rank No. 3 nationally in total stops.The Ashwaubenon, Wis., native had seven games with at least 10 tackles on the year, including a career-high 22 tackles against Ohio State on Oct. 29. He started all 14 games last season, recording 9.0 tackles for loss, forcing three fumbles, recovering a pair of fumbles and snaring two interceptions.Taylor has started all 33 games in which he has suited up for the Badgers after starting 12 games as a sophomore and making seven starts as a redshirt freshman before being sidelined by an injury.Five finalists for the Nagurski Trophy will be announced on Nov. 15, with the winner named Dec. 3 at the annual Bronko Nagurski Trophy Banquet in Charlotte.

Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road. While I don't have any issues with louder tracks, with more subtle ones, my ESW9 aren't up to the task, and so my search began. Actually, I'm not really keen on the idea of using an IEM since they irritate my ears..." --lotusbloom
Ortofon e-Q5
" This "moving armature" descendant of the Ortofon e-Q7 makes no sacrifices in terms of quality, despite being introduced at a more affordable price point. The introduction of a new cord and strain relief system help tame microphonics and make the model easy to wear both down and over the ear. The all-aluminum housing is large and may not fit all ears, but the design is simple and..." --Dekimasu
Ortofon e-Q8 in-ear earphones
"Released earlier this year, the e-Q8s are a pair of single balanced armature (BA) driver earphones which are the new flagship to Ortofon's long stagnant IEM lineup. I purchased mine not too long after their release in April 2014 for 36930 yen (approx. USD 350) and so at the time of writing have approximately six months of experience with them as my daily driver IEMs. I will be providing..." --fonzler

Bishop David Walkowiak would like to talk about welcoming people to Mass, looking ahead to the new year as a great time to get in touch with your Christian beliefs and discover your local parish.
- We want the people of West Michigan to know that they are welcome to join us at Mass.
- We've been using audio and video messages to get the word out that, "We are always here and you are always welcome." We hope that people will learn more about our Catholic community and be inspired to return or seek us out for the first time.
- As Catholics, we are still celebrating the Christmas season (which goes until January 13th) and it's a great time to celebrate the love of Christ and participate in our rich Catholic traditions.
- For a variety of reasons, there are people who were baptized Catholic, but no longer attend Mass or consider themselves part of a parish. In fact, that's one of the biggest religious categories in America. Just as Pope Francis has said, we want you to know that you are welcome to worship with us and get back to the beauty of our faith. We would love a chance to talk to you about why you may have left in the first place.
- Staff across the diocese have also been collaborating on ways to make our parishes as warm and welcoming as possible---especially for new visitors.

FORT DRUM An Army sergeant who had been accused of secretly photographing and videotaping at least a dozen women at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to charges in a court-martial, officials said Friday.
Sgt. 1st Class Michael McClendon agreed to a plea bargain Wednesday that includes a 33-month sentence, loss of pay, a reduction in rank to private and a bad-conduct discharge, according to military officials at Fort Drum.
McClendon was a combat engineer who joined the military in 1990. He was assigned in 2009 to the support staff at West Point, where he worked with cadets.
He was charged last year with dereliction of duty, mistreatment, entering a womens bathroom without notice, and taking and possessing inappropriate photos and videos of women who were naked or in various states of undress.
He then was transferred to Fort Drum.
A statement released by Fort Drum said McClendon pleaded guilty to one charge including eight specifications involving indecent acts. A call seeking more information on details of McClendons plea wasnt immediately returned Friday.
In exchange for the plea, the duration of McClendons confinement was reduced from five years to 33 months.
When he was charged in May, McClendon violated four articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, with some allegations dating to 2009, the military said.
The charges came amid increased concern about the handling of sexual misconduct in the military and the confidence, particularly among women serving, that justice was being done.
A Pentagon report estimated that as many as 26,000 service members may have been sexually assaulted in 2012.

Firefox "Fight Against Boredom" Video
Update: I've posted a follow-up that explains in more detail what happened.
Earlier today TechCrunch linked to a still-in-development site for a marketing program we are working on called "Firefox Users against Boredom." The site was not meant to be publicly available and contained several stats, taken from a recent Nielsen study, that were offensive and in poor taste, as pointed out both by readers of TechCrunch and many people here at Mozilla. I want to sincerely apologize for this oversight. We hadn't reviewed the stats before they were accidentally published and some of them are clearly in poor taste and humor. This does not reflect the views of Mozilla and we are working to fix this immediately.

The old saying about when one door closes, another opens has never held more true than for designer Emma Fletcher. The Australian native had decided to close down her cult-favorite NoLIta boutique Lyell after the birth of her daughter, when the opportunity arose to reinvigorate Tocca.
A line that was a favorite of cool girls everywhere when it launched in 1994, Tocca had become as well known for its lovely beauty line as for its original feminine designs. The self-taught designer and former winner of the Ecco Domani Foundation Award for Young Designers has risen to the challenge with incredible success.
Fletcher has reinvigorated the brand, as evidenced by the fall collection available on Gilt.com, starting at noon ET on August 31. Inspired by Victorian stationery, the collection features pieces that fuse delicate details with flattering shapes. Nubby wool tweeds are charming in schoolboy coats, while peter pan collared tops find edge in bold fuchsia. And scalloped details run throughout in standout shift dresses and on-trend shorts.
Shop Tocca on Gilt.com, starting at noon ET on August 31.

Red Sox give up: Casey Kelly, Raymond Fuentes and Anthony Rizzo.
Coming out of the Orioles system, what would the Orioles have to do to match that? Which prospects in the O's system are equivalent to the Red Sox threesome?
For me Zach Britton = Casey Kelly.
Raymond Fuentes = Xavier Avery
Rizzo is a little harder to match. I'm not sure Joe Mahoney or Tyler Townsend are equivalent to Rizzo. Maybe LJ Hoes or Mychal Givens makes more sense.

The Politico quotes a press release from Tina Brown:
"The Daily Beast and Howard Kurtz have parted company. Under the direction of our newly named political director John Avlon we have added new momentum and authority to our Washington bureau with columnists such as Jon Favreau, Joshua Dubois and Stuart Stevens joining our outstanding DC team of Eleanor Clift, Daniel Klaidman, Michael Tomasky, Eli Lake, David Frum and Michelle Cottle – giving us one of the best politics teams in the business which was instrumental in this week's Webby win for Best News site."
Mediaite spots the proximate cause of Kurtz's dismissal:
According to Tina Brown, Newsweek/Daily Beast's editor in chief, her publication has decided to end their relationship with Howard Kurtz after he mistakenly claimed that NBC center Jason Collins, who recently came out as gay, had failed to disclose that he was previously engaged to be married to a woman.
Kurtz's "See no liberal bias" liberal mindset can be maddening, but swapping him for John "everyone on the right is a crazy wingnut" Avlon doesn't exactly seem like a fair trade. Still, for the first time in its long existence, Kurtz's CNN show will be required viewing this week, to see if he comments on the move.
Update: Now is the time when Twitchy juxtaposes:
Update: Will CNN be next to drop Kurtz? "Don't be surprised if CNN acts next against Kurtz," John Nolte of Big Journalism tweets. "His brand as a media analyst is now in shambles." I don't know — as with Roger Ailes sweeping up Juan Williams after his run-in with the PC thoughtpolice at NPR, I bet Ailes would hire Kurtz pretty quickly, which may slow or block CNN from issuing an exit visa to Kurtz.

Kobe Bryant is one of the only players to continue is immense success in high school, straight into an even more successful professional career. The Black Mamba rose to superstar status while he was playing for his former high school, Lower Merion Aces, in the Philadelphia area. And now, Kobe is paying tribute to his former team by releasing a player exclusive version of the top-selling Nike Zoom Kobe VIs in the Lower Merion colorway.
The metallic platinum and white sneaker is complete with an "Ace" logo on the back of the shoe, shows that Bryant never forgot where he came from. With the touch of crimson red on the logos, these pair of sneaks definitely be "Ace-Highs" on the court.
The shoe will be released on September 10th at the KB24 Store.

By Edward L. EllisPrice
To the Carbon County Commissioners.
This letter is not anonymous.
How many times have you got up at 2 a.m. to go look for lost people snowmobiling, or hunting in the middle of winter ?
How many times have you got out of bed or missed dinner with your family to go look for a missing plane, drowning victim, missing person, suicidal person or to cover other types of emergency situations. How many times have you had to notify a family of a tradedy of a loved one ?.
How many family dinners have you missed for those reasons ?
You go to a meeting wearing a tin foil hat and think it is funny, I for one don't feel it is funny, but who am I ?. I'm not a commissioner.
You talk about money being wasted. You had better take a look at every county department and not just focus on the Sheriff's department.
There was nothing done about the television department using the counties snowcat at the Boy Scout Camp at Scofield in the winter. There was nothing done or said about using the Search & Rescue snowcat for a memorial in Huntington Canyon that the Sheriff was not notified or knew nothing about.
I have alot more information since I have been a member of Search and Rescue for 46 years. As of now I have resigned as quarter master and have taken a senior retired membership. I can truthfully say I have donated my time and at my own expense to benifit the people of Carbon County.
I have mentioned this because I know personally what the Sheriff has done for this county.
I can guarantee you he is a resident of this county. It is true his wife lives in St. George and is employed there.
I don't know were you came up with 26 days, Does that count the weekends that they spent here ?
I don't think so.

By Akbar Ganji, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Akbar Ganji is an Iranian journalist and dissident and was imprisoned in Tehran from 2000 to 2006. The views expressed are his own.
Much has been said and written about liberalism, economics and even feminism in Iran. Yet despite much lamenting among outsiders determined to paint a grim picture of Iran by focusing on the supposed stifling of political thought and discussion in the country, the reality is in many respects quite different.
So what has really been going on?
The dominant discourse in Iran before the Islamic Revolution was focused around developing world leftist ideology. Marxism was seen as progressive, with the examples of Lenin, Mao and Che Guevara preferred over the social democracy of some European nations. Indeed, those who did not buy into this view – particularly those close to the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi – were not considered true intellectuals.
In an effort to fully control the country after the revolution toppled the Shah's regime in 1979, Iran's ruling religious forces nationalized the country's resources and institutions, with intellectuals like Ayatollah Morteza Motahhari declaring that the "spirit and foundations of the universal declaration of human rights are supported by Islam."
It was clear in his writing and speeches during his 10 years as supreme leader that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was not really familiar with liberalism and Marxism, yet he was opposed to both. In contrast, Khomeini's successor, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, has been pointed in his criticism of liberal democracy, dismissing it on countless occasions and presenting an alternative, "religious democracy." His criticisms of liberal democracy are based on two pillars: the track record of liberal democracies for what he considers as the destruction of family values, and his faith in "religious democracy" being superior over liberal democracy.
Yet anyone believing that Khamenei's views have in turn resulted in a top-down squashing of political discussion – even of imported ideas – would be mistaken.
True, the authoritarian rule of Iran's Supreme Leader rejects liberal democracy and feminism. And books that are published in Iran are subject to censorship and must receive a permit for publication from Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. On top of this, publishers receive subsidies from the government, making it difficult for them to survive without government help.
But none of this has prevented some of the most important books on liberalism and feminism from being translated and published over the more than three decades since the revolution (although the government does oppose the Bahá'í Faith religious minority in Iran, and does not allow the publication of books and thoughts of its adherents). Indeed, the restrictions have not prevented some of the most influential works of Western thought, from John Locke's Two Treatises of Government to John Stuart Mill's On Liberty to more recent tomes such as Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom and Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom from being published.
Meanwhile, although the ayatollahs are fiercely opposed to feminism, consider their own views on women and their rights to be fair and just, and claim that unlike the West, Islam is opposed to using woman as an object for advancing one's own agenda, an astonishing number of books on feminism have been translated into Farsi and published in Iran, from Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex to Eliz Sanasarian's The Women's Right Movement in Iran.
But Iranians' growing access to a range of views is also evident in the sheer numbers of books published or translated since the revolution. In 1976 and 1977, just prior to the revolution, around 900 new books were published in the country. This dipped to just 274 books in 1978. But fast forward to 2010 and around 65,000 new books were published, according to Iran's parliament library, a number that climbed to some 68,000 in 2011, of which around 14,000 were translations of foreign books.
Indeed, the reality is that hundreds of books have been published in Farsi discussing freedom, democracy, and respect for human rights – on topics ranging from the separation of church and state to the importance of distinguishing the public from the private domain. Such breadth and depth, coupled with the expansion of university-level education, offer an image of Iran as a genuinely dynamic society.
This dynamism has gained momentum with the expansion of the country's urban middle class – in 1978, just 47 percent of the population lived in urban areas, compared with about 70 percent today. In addition, the literacy rate has soared from less than 50 percent in 1978 to around 85 percent today, even as the population has more than doubled. And while women represented less than one-third of the country's college students in 1978, they now make up some 60 percent of students studying at Iran's colleges.
The expansion of university education has bolstered scientific research in the country – in 2013 the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) counted 32,600 scientific articles published by Iranian scientists in ISI-recognized, peer-reviewed journals, placing Iran first in this category in the entire Middle East. In March 2011, the New Scientist declared that Iran has seen the highest rate of "scientific growth" in the world.
It is not just in the sciences that Iran has made strides – the U.N. has indicated that, whereas in 1980, Iran was performing below the worldwide average in terms of human development, it is now considered to have high human development – a shift no doubt helped by the healthy 3 percent annual average economic growth from 1979-2012, despite a long and costly war with neighboring Iraq.
All this suggests that the foundations for democracy to grow and even thrive on the back of an increasingly well educated, more urbanized middle class are in place.
None of this is to suggest that Iran under Khamenei is a democratic state – he is an authoritarian leader that has blocked the democratization of Iran. And not only is he determined to stifle the democratic movement, but he also has the power and the tools to do so. And yet, despite this, certain social developments are beyond his control, in part because his power is not absolute, and also because of the strides that Iranian civil society has made in recent years.
Of course, the balance of power between Iran's civil society and the government still favors the latter, and there is an ongoing tension between the two as the country tries to find the balance between the will of the people and a regime that wants to control everything. But ultimately, there is nothing intrinsic to Iranian society that can prevent it from eventually achieving democracy.
good article did a good job pf covering both sides. That being said I highly doubt that Iran will ever be a democracy as long as there is political and religious pecicusion I think its still against the law to pray openly in public if your not a muslim. Then there is the whole destroying Isreal thing. I guess what ot comes down to is islam wants the world to be an islamic one and this will never happen. so therefore the west and islamic governed countries will never be able to co-exsist. Because I for one will never accept islamic law EVER

PSR improves access for hearing impaired
IT systems administrator Jeffrey DiGregorio announced this week that PSR has installed an induction loop system in the Chapel of the Great Commission. The loop works like a wi-fi system, allowing those with loop-enabled hearing aids to tune in automatically to the chapel sound system without using any extra equipment. The loop covers the first nine pews on the southeast side of the room. DiGregorio also said that PSR has a portable loop induction system that can be set up with the portable sound system as needed throughout the campus, and that the AV department can provide an audio feed from the mixing board for use with personal portable loop systems.
Ethan Pope, the spouse of PSR MDiv student Bryce Current, has been signing for the hearing impaired at chapel services and special events. He said the addition of the induction loop was a "dream come true" for students, family, and friends of the school who are hearing impaired. "Not everyone understands American Sign Language," Pope said, but "the combination of the induction loop system and interpreting helps to bridge gaps that hearing people often never think about."

Version: 1.6.1 - Released March 5, 2015
Imagine a world where you can write JavaScript to control blenders, lights, security systems, or even robots. Yes, I said robots. That world is here and now with node-serialport. It provides a very simple interface to the low level serial port code necessary to program Arduino chipsets, X10 wireless communications, or even the rising Z-Wave and Zigbee standards. The physical world is your oyster with this goodie. For a full break down of why we made this, please read NodeBots - The Rise of JS Robotics.
This library is admittedly a base level toolkit for building amazing things with real world (including robots). Here are a couple of those amazing things that leverage node-serialport:
For getting started with node-serialport, we recommend you begin with the following articles:
Using node-serialport is pretty easy because it is pretty basic. It provides you with the building block to make great things, it is not a complete solution - just a cog in the (world domination) machine.
Special Notes
Good luck.
For most "standard" use cases (node v0.10.x on mac, linux, windows on a x86 or x64 processor), node-serialport will install nice and easy with a simple
npm install serialport
We are using node-pre-gyp to compile and post binaries of the library for most common use cases (linux, mac, windows on standard processor platforms). If you are on a special case, node-serialport will work, but it will compile the binary when you install. Follow the instructions below for how that works.
This assumes you have everything on your system necessary to compile ANY native module for Node.js. This may not be the case, though, so please ensure the following are true for your system before filing an issue about "Does not install". For all operatings systems, please ensure you have Python 2.x installed AND not 3.0, node-gyp (what we use to compile) requires Python 2.x.
Ensure that you have at a minimum the xCode Command Line Tools installed appropriate for your system configuration. If you recently upgraded the OS, it probably removed your installation of Command Line Tools, please verify before submitting a ticket.
You know what you need for you system, basically your appropriate analog of build-essential. Keep rocking! Ubuntu renamed the
node binary
nodejs which can cause problems building
node-serialport. The fix is simple, install the nodejs-legacy package that symlinks
/usr/bin/nodejs => /usr/bin/node or install the more up to date nodejs package from Chris Lea's PPA.
# Ubuntu nodesudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy # Or Chris Lea's PPA Node (more up to date)sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.jssudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install nodejs sudo apt-get install build-essentialnpm install serialport
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -y
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.16/node-v0.10.16-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz tar xvfz node-v0.10.16-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz sudo mv node-v0.10.16-linux-arm-pi /opt/node/
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/node/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc
npm install serialport
Opening a serial port:
var SerialPort = require"serialport"SerialPortvar serialPort = "/dev/tty-usbserial1" baudrate: 57600;
When opening a serial port, you can specify (in this order).
The options object allows you to pass named options to the serial port during initialization. The valid attributes for the options object are the following:
Note, we have added support for either all lowercase OR camelcase of the options (thanks @jagautier), use whichever style you prefer.
You MUST wait for the open event to be emitted before reading/writing to the serial port. The open happens asynchronously so installing 'data' listeners and writing before the open event might result in... nothing at all.
Assuming you are connected to a serial console, you would for example:
serialPorton"open" console.log'open'; serialPorton'data' console.log'data received: ' + data; ; serialPortwrite"ls\n" console.log'err ' + err; console.log'results ' + results; ;;
You can also call the open function, in this case instanciate the serialport with an additional flag.
var SerialPort = require"serialport"SerialPortvar serialPort = "/dev/tty-usbserial1" baudrate: 57600 false; // this is the openImmediately flag [default is true] serialPortopen if error console.log'failed to open: '+error; else console.log'open'; serialPorton'data' console.log'data received: ' + data; ; serialPortwrite"ls\n" console.log'err ' + err; console.log'results ' + results; ; ;
You can also list the ports along with some metadata as well.
var serialPort = require"serialport";serialPortlist portsforEach console.logportcomName; console.logportpnpId; console.logportmanufacturer; ;;
Out of the box, node-serialport provides two parsers one that simply emits the raw buffer as a data event and the other which provides familiar "readline" style parsing. To use the readline parser, you must provide a delimiter as such:
var serialport = require"serialport";var SerialPort = serialportSerialPort; // localize object constructor var sp = "/dev/tty-usbserial1" parser: serialportparsersreadline"\n";
To use the raw parser, you just provide the function definition (or leave undefined):
var serialport = require"serialport";var SerialPort = serialportSerialPort; // localize object constructor var sp = "/dev/tty-usbserial1" parser: serialportparsersraw;
You can get updates of new data from the Serial Port as follows:
serialPorton"data" sysputs"here: "+data;;
You can write to the serial port by sending a string or buffer to the write method as follows:
serialPortwrite"OMG IT WORKS\r";
Enjoy and do cool things with this code.
Create a new serial port on
The system path of the serial port to open. For example,
/dev/tty on Mac/Linux or
COM1 on Windows.
options (optional)
Port configuration options.
platformOptions - sets platform specific options, see below.
An object with the following properties:
vmin (default: 1) - see
man termios
vtime (default: 0) - see
man termios
openImmediately (optional)
Attempts to open a connection to the serial port on
process.nextTick. The default is
true. Set to
false to manually call
open() at a later time, but note you'll need to use factory error listener in the case of constructor errors.
callback (optional)
Called when a connection has been opened. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... }
Opens a connection to the given serial port.
callback (optional)
Called when a connection has been opened. NOTE: Will NOT be called if openImmediately is set to false as open will not be performed. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... }
true if the port is open.
Writes data to the given serial port.
buffer parameter accepts a
Buffer object, or a type that is accepted by the
Buffer constructor (ex. an array of bytes or a string).
callback (optional)
Called once the write operation returns. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... } Note: The write operation is non-blocking. When it returns, data may still have not actually been written to the serial port. See
Pauses an open connection.
Resumes a paused connection.
Flushes data received but not read. See
tcflush() for Mac/Linux and
FlushFileBuffers for Windows.
callback (optional)
Called once the flush operation returns. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... }
Waits until all output data has been transmitted to the serial port. See
tcdrain() for more information.
callback (optional)
Called once the drain operation returns. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... }
data and waits until it has finish transmitting to the target serial port before calling the callback.
function writeAndDrain (data, callback) { sp.write(data, function () { sp.drain(callback); });}
Closes an open connection.
callback (optional)
Called once a connection is closed. Closing a connection will also remove all event listeners. The callback should be a function that looks like:
function (error) { ... }
A special thanks to The Hybrid Group for helping create and hosting the precompiled binaries for OSX, Linux, & Windows. This makes installing node-serialport much easier and much simpler for individuals using those platforms. Thank you.
