Hey guys I'm looking specifically for the paint code for the 1970 Renegade I Green. On your History Page here there is a picture of one under where it says "Renegade I Colors" and is titles "org1970cj5". That is the exact color I'd like to paint my Scrambler but can't find the code for it. I know lower for 1971 it says the code is 999 for all of them, but that seems odd since they are all clearly different colors.
I have Googled for it a number of times but it always first brings me back to your History Page. Any way, does any one here have the specific paint code for the Renegade I Green?
Thank you ALL for ready and to any one that has the code.
'82 1-Ton CJ-8 Scrambler - AMC 360-727 Auto, Dana 60's, 42" TSL's and some other stuff.

Sedalia School District 200 held its annual Student Resource Fair on Tuesday in the FEMA Building at Smith-Cotton Junior High School. The event is an opportunity for students and their families to learn about social service and outreach agencies that provide a multitude of assistance options and youth-oriented activities.
This year's fair was the biggest so far, with 35 vendors, including Pettis County Health Center, the Boy Scouts of America, Pettis County Community Partnership, Center for Human Services and others. Nearly 300 people were in attendance, and they enjoyed free pizza and hot dogs, drinks, popcorn and cotton candy; students were able to play games and win prizes.
Dr. Nancy Scott, assistant superintendent, said: "This resource fair was the largest one to date. We appreciate all the vendors that took time to come and offer our students and families opportunities
provided in the community. We are very fortunate to have such a giving and caring community." Photos courtesy of Sedalia School District 200.

I did get a honey pretzel scented pocketbac that is awesome though! And chocolate mint, chocolate donut, lemon fizz, and strawberry. All are awesome but the strawberry…
8/13/11 12:57 Fey:
I hate dogs enough to dislike these. Not really. I just hate how bad dogs smell and how germ-y they are, which is totally irrelevant in this scenario. I guess that means I must buy them all.
8/13/11 16:43 Perilla:
I'm so tired of these! They have a new scent every month @____@ the way they do it strangely reminds me of Pokemon:
Take the old, slightly change it, say it's new and CHACHINGGGG
I always see girls in my school (yes I'm a high schooler) carrying this stuff and showing it off to the world to see, and then they laugh me and my germ-x because the packaging isn't as "cute." They carry it like it's some sort of designer handbag, haha 😉
8/14/11 7:48 Joy August:

I have a "C" client library that accesses a segment of shared memory. I realize that the shared memory address space is outside the JVM and normally unaccessible. However, in reading some updates on the java.sun website, it came to my attention that the latest release 1.4.1_01 might offer a way to access the native address space.
Snippet of native code:
JNIEXPORT jobject Java_TEST_getSharedMemoryBlock(
JNI *env, jobject obj, jint ptr...) {
jobject rc;
rc = (*env)->NewDirectByteBuffer(env, sharedMemStartAddress, sharedMemSize);
return rc;
This "seems" to work. I haven't yet figured out yet how to print items from this ByteBuffer(actually a jobject) on the native side. It doesn't crash the application or the JVM.
The problem I have is when I get the ByteBuffer back into the Java side.
Java snippet (please assume I have done all the appropriate native building correctly):
// ptr was returned through a previous call to a connect
// to shared memory native call. It seems to have a
// valid value
bout = getSharedMemoryBlock(ptr);
// The above call does return successfully!
Now when I try to actually pull data out of this ByteBuffer (like below):
int a = bout.getInt();
the JVM actually crashes. I get reams of output all boiling down to this pseudo stack dump:
Unxpected Signal: 11 occurred at PC=0x40395E09
Current Java thread:
at sun.misc.Unsafe.getInt(Native Method)
at java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.getInt(DirectByteBuffer.java:601)
at java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.getInt(DirectByteBuffer.java:608)
Any suggestions about this would be much appreciated. Maybe there is a better way to gain access (return a bytestream from shared memory) than I am trying? Is this even doable?

Orlando's hot hotel market was at or near the top nationwide in a number of key growth categories in 2004 -- and it might do even better in 2005, a representative of one of the nation's leading industry research firms said Friday.
The Orlando area's average hotel occupancy rate last year, for example, was the fifth best in the country at 70.7 percent, well above the national average of 63.1 percent, said Brian Ferguson, vice president for marketing and strategy with Smith Travel Research, based near Nashville, Tenn.
The rate of growth in Orlando's average occupancy was a sizzling 12.8 percent for the year, leading the country by a wide margin. "It's a great number," Ferguson said during the monthly meeting of the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association.
In terms of room rates, Orlando was in the middle of the pack among the top 25 markets, averaging $87.78 for the year. That was only slightly higher than the national average. But Orlando's 2004 vs. 2003 rate of growth in the category -- 3.8 percent -- was good enough to crack the national top 10.
Orlando should do even better at boosting room rates in the coming year, he said.
"You should see rates go up more," Ferguson said, because of the lag in group-travel price increases. Orlando has more group travel than many markets, he said, and groups have longer-term contracts that take time to reflect price hikes.
The company does not make specific forecasts for regions, he said, but revenue-per-available room, a key measure of industry health, should rise another 7.1 percent nationwide in 2005, after posting a healthy 7.8 percent increase in 2004.
"These are great numbers," Bill McCreary, president of Tishman Hotel Corp. in Orlando, said as he left the meeting at the Grande Lakes Resort Orlando.
Grande Lakes, home of the nation's only side-by-side Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott, is the type of luxury category doing even better than the lower-priced categories as the economy grows, Ferguson said.
Orlando has been adding to its luxury and upscale stock at a faster rate than other categories in recent years, with properties such as the Grande Lakes and Omni Resort at ChampionsGate.
Ferguson said that, while Orlando's room supply grew about 2.1 percent in 2004 -- the fourth-highest percentage increase among top markets -- demand was growing even faster. Orlando's increase in room demand, 15.2 percent, was tops in the nation, also by a wide margin.
While the nation's hotel industry was "shocked" by the falloff in travel after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Ferguson said, the industry has gotten leaner and smarter. So while revenue per room fell nationwide for two straight years, in 2001 and 2002, before rebounding slightly in 2003, the industry overall remained profitable throughout the downturn.
Smith Travel estimates that, even though profitability slipped between 2000 and 2003, the industry overall has not lost money since the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Exclusive: A new poll says 44 percent of Republicans believe "an armed revolution" may be needed in the next few years "to protect liberties," proof of the Right's success in re-branding itself with Revolutionary War symbols and fueling paranoia about the elected national government, Robert Parry reports.
Tag Archive for Second Amendment
Gun Madness v. Gun Sanity
As the gun carnage continues across the United States, the Right won't stop peddling its bogus historical claims about the Second Amendment and rallying its gullible supporters to fight even modest safety laws. But victims of gun violence are finally fighting back, write Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
The Right's Second Amendment Fraud
Exclusive: The Senate has beaten back a filibuster from Tea Party Republicans to block debate on possible gun-reform laws in the wake of last December's massacre of 20 first-graders and six educators in Connecticut. But the setback won't stop the extremists from continuing to twist the Second Amendment, says Robert Parry.
Crazy Gun-Toting Insurrectionists
Exclusive: Just a few months after 20 first-graders were mowed down by a deranged killer wielding an assault rifle, the prospects of restraining this gun madness are fading. A major factor is the Right's success in promulgating a bogus history of what the Framers were doing with the Second Amendment, writes Robert Parry.
Newtown's Hidden Crime-Scene Photos
Exclusive: With solid Republican opposition and many Democrats scared of the gun lobby, Congress is turning its back on a renewed assault weapons ban, a collapse made easier by the refusal of Newtown officials to release crime-scene photos of the bullet-riddled bodies of 20 first-graders, writes Robert Parry.
Bowing to Second Amendment Myths
Even as Democratic leaders propose gun-safety laws – after the slaughter of 20 first-graders in Newtown – they try to sound "reasonable" by genuflecting to the myth of Second Amendment "rights." But this acceptance of right-wing propaganda is dooming these life-saving initiatives, says Beverly Bandler.
Taking 'Gun Rights' Global
For years, the NRA and the American Right have played games with some imprecise wording in the Second Amendment, which was always about a state's right to have a well-regulated militia, but now those games are distorting U.S. foreign policy, too, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Choice of Guns Over Butter
The American political system continues to ignore President Eisenhower's dour warning about the Military-Industrial Complex and embrace President Reagan's happy "We're No. 1" illusions. The long-term consequences of this choice have been devastating to most U.S. citizens and to the world, writes Gary G. Kohls.
Defending Guns, Ignoring 'Due Process'
Millions of Americans are almost literally up in arms over the prospect of a few commonsense restrictions on "gun rights," but there has been no similar resistance to far more sweeping, post-9/11 encroachments on fundamental constitutional rights relating to due process under the law, notes Lawrence Davidson.
The Second Amendment's History
In his Second Inaugural Address, President Obama reaffirmed his intent to seek gun safety laws in the wake of the Newtown massacre, but the Right insists the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to own assault rifles. What is the real history of the "right to bear arms," asks Beverly Bandler.

Navigating life while following my daughter.
The other day I was at a stop light on the way to the grocery store, and an elderly person pushed the crosswalk button at the nearby intersection. Apparently I was in a hurry and those bananas I needed to buy just couldn't wait another minute because I noticed myself getting annoyed that we had to wait for this person to cross the street. And then suddenly my mind flashed forward about 80 years and I thought of M being that person in the crosswalk, long after I am gone, and I was hoping that the drivers around her wouldn't get all irritated with her because, hey, that's my baby you're talking about. A quick reality check of my own attitude made me realize that the very person in front of me was someone else's baby at some point long ago, and I should offer the same deference. Not everyone–young or old–moves through life, literally or figuratively, at the same speed and I need to remember that more often and just submit to the paces and strides over which I have no control.
One thing that I am not very good at is slowing down and just living in the moment. This character flaw came into clearer focus not too long after becoming a parent three years ago. Being essentially forced to submit to someone else's schedule and whims (with an upbeat attitude no less) and put aside all of my own preconceived expectations is challenging at best. And I don't just mean with my child–it's with everyone.
I am sure at its base, a lot of it is from feeling stretched in a thousand different directions, often all at one time, often after very little quality sleep or downtime (which I admit is due to some lingering bad habits that have formed since M was born, but I digress). I think it's also a result of me always trying to get to the next thing, like a checklist of things that "need" to get done. It's no surprise really, considering that is how so much of our lives are designed from a very young age. You go to school and participate in extracurricular things so you can go to college. You go to college so you can get a decent job. You get a decent job so you can buy a home, pay off your loans and/or start a family. You put money under the mattress so you can retire some day. You retire so you can eek out some enjoyment in your golden years. Then you wait to die. Maybe that last part is a bit harsh, but it isn't far from the bigger picture.
But the spaces in between is where I now struggle. How to just stop and linger and really savor the moment of eating summer's last garden tomatoes rather than thinking about the dishes that must be done next, and then the nightly bathtime routine, and on and on. Or how to really just see that when M is a bit more clingy than usual after we get home, that maybe she just needs an extra 10 minutes of hanging out on the couch with me, rather than worry so much that dinner might not start at exactly 6:30 sharp–how easily I forget that she just spent the last 8 hours with someone else that wasn't me. Or how it's actually quite funny when she does something like throw an extra handful of flour into the bread machine because it means that she's learning how to contribute in the kitchen and that I should be at least happy that she didn't throw it on the floor.
Trying to slow down is something that I am actively working on. For me, it will be a lifelong work in progress. Some people seemingly have an innate ability to just let go and an endless supply of patience and positive attitude. I am not that person or that parent by nature. Lately, more days are better than not, but I often feel like I am still selling myself and my family short because of it. I really do need to loosen up a bit and just enjoy these fleeting moments because before long, I, and then she, will be alone shuffling in that crosswalk, with only the memories of the past as motivation to keep going. I don't want the bulk of those memories to be of "hurry up's" or impatient sighs or "it's time to go" or "it's too close to dinner". I want them to be of the secret tastes of sweets before dinner, or an extra lap around the block or a fourth read of this month's favorite book.
Patience and taking stock of what's happening in the now will allow me to recognize that while it might be slowing us down if I let M put on her own shoes, I get an extra moment to notice how small her toes still are and she gets a boost of confidence. By allowing us to take one more spin around the block during our nightly stroll, we might get to see that silly squirrel that secretly pokes in and out of the neighbor's eaves and makes M smile. By letting her read just one more book once in a while before bed, maybe I will help pass along my love of books to her. By letting her linger in her PJs a little longer every now and then, maybe I'll get another glimpse of her being so absorbed in her play and witness some really fascinating dialogue between her and her dolls.
There are too many schedules in our lives, many of them dictated by forces beyond our control, looming over us like an overcast sky. By trying to slow down the time between those deadlines, I can make my family's life and therefore my life all the richer. And I am not giving myself a deadline for the task ahead. Time to just go with the flow.
I am not sure who originally coined the expression, but I first learned about the notion of "social currency" from a parenting advice column that I read daily on www.boston.com. Anyway, the idea is that, at least in the context of kids and fitting in among their peers, that there are certain things that allow kids to participate in conversations, feel like they are part of the group and, in a word, seem "cool". The best examples would be watching popular TV shows, owning the latest gadgets or toys, or buying every conceivable piece of merchandise to show your allegiance to the icon or character of your choice.
The way I see it, parents are the "bank" that provide the means (the stuff or the money to acquire the stuff) to the end (fitting in), at least until a child is old enough to start making some truly discretionary purchases with self-earned money. For someone trying to live on the simpler and greener end of the spectrum, my natural tendency is toward "no stuff". So I am generally not in favor of buying stuff that is all the rage for M's contemporaries. I did not expect to have to confront this issue for at least another couple of years.
Enter Silly Bandz. The scene: M's preschool. The cast: M and an older preschooler who M idolizes because is the very cool age of 4 1/2. The props: tiny, colorful and fun-shaped rings of medical grade silicone. The plot: M (thinks she) wants some.
I see these and I cringe. I immediately think of the images that I recently saw online in the exhibit entitled "Midway" by photographer Chris Jordan who took pictures of dead albatross chicks on the Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. These images were heartbreaking to say the least. As he states on his website, "not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent." Am I acting like Henny Penny or too alarmist? Perhaps. But look at these photographs and tell me that there is not some remote chance that someday silicone bracelets might not be considered interesting fare for a mama albatross to feed her young. They are also not unlike the plastic soda can rings that we all so dutifully cut into tiny pieces before throwing away so that sea turtles and the like wouldn't get entangled.
Fear not. I am no Luddite–much of my reading is done electronically now and yes, I have a cell phone–but I truly and honestly have serious guilt, discomfort and usually mild remorse almost every time new stuff enters our home. Unless it is for the basics–food, shelter, clothing, health–it is hard for me to buy stuff that I know has likely had a dubious life before it entered my home (like environmental impacts and the use of nonrenewable resources to make the stuff, extraordinary shipping distances that require unnecessary amounts of fuel, inequitable labor practices, perhaps child labor) and an uncertain future when I am done with it (ideally recycling or reuse by someone else, but at some point, all or parts of the stuff are ultimately likely destined for a landfill–no matter which way you slice it, each of these comes with its own baggage of environmental impacts). For me, worrying about these kinds of things is the closest thing I can imagine to participating in a religion that has a defined set of principles and rules under which one is supposed to act. In fact, I suppose it is a religion for me. Reading books like The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard and Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell only makes matters worse…or clearer, depending on your perspective.
I am consistently amazed by the sheer number of stuff today that is marketed to and made appealing for kids. I honestly do not think it was quite as bad when I was growing up. At least I certainly don't remember it that way. Perhaps it was the extraordinarily fewer number of children's television stations, programs and commercials that were available when we were growing up in the 70's and 80's. We certainly did not have the internet as another media source either. Sure, there was the "it" toy of the moment–Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, He-Man, just to name a few–but other than the toy itself, maybe a few items of clothing, and occasionally a special run of cereal, that was about it. Now–you can't even go to the Bronx Zoo without seeing Dora the Explorer. (See another blogger's take on this issue here.) I personally find most of it really disheartening. Soon enough, even buying groceries is going to be a challenge for parents trying to keep their kids away from the bombardment of commercial programming.
But back to the Bandz and my growing awareness that I am looking down the barrel of a very large and powerful gun called peer pressure. I am struggling big time. I am struggling to determine how best to teach our values to M in a way that does not ostracize her among her peers or diminish her self-esteem. If she's not aware of it now, soon enough she will be: having certain "stuff" makes you fit in better. And at its base, that's what childhood is all about–fitting in and finding your place, your individuality, among the social strata of your peers. Someday she might appreciate, or at least understand, the values that we are trying to teach her. But I don't expect that to come for many years. So what to do in between?
Do we buy one package of Bandz? That seems to wholly contrary to my beliefs about these kinds of things (especially trendy, throwaway things). Hypothetically, if we were Jews who kept kosher, would we let her eat bacon? Of course not–yet, my impression is that when it's religion, rather than lifestyle, that guides one's decisions, it can't be argued with or poo-pooed.
Do we buy none? At the age of 3, M has probably already forgotten about them, or still thinks that they are things that other kids just "have" rather than they are things that can be purchased. But the window on that ability to distract her or keep her largely uninformed is closing quickly I can sense it. Case in point: flip-flops. She now has a pair. She knows shoes are purchased in stores. She wanted a pair and after many nights of her coming in crying because she was the only one on the block that did not have a pair, I caved. It was not one of my finer moments. She still doesn't know where the Bandz come from. I think I am safe, for now at least. But if she did know, buying none seems all at once harsh and unfair yet a teachable moment (I can't stand that phrase) that lends itself to learning about we can't always have what we want, some things we do in life have greater impacts than others and we have to choose which ones we can live with, and that things like trends come and go so it's not always necessary to jump on the bandwagon.
I am well aware that this is not the last round of weighing M's ability to feel comfortable in her own skin and among her friends against my own personal philosophies about what is truly necessary in life–philosophies that took me almost 30 years to master comfortably in the face of what others do and think. Fitting in is necessary, particularly for kids. I know this. But animal-shaped bracelets are not necessarily the right means to that end in my view. So for now, we will carry on without the currency of Silly Bandz in our house and await the next trend that we will have to negotiate and maneuver in the context of all of these issues. In the meantime, I remain hopeful that somewhere, someone is crafting the next kid craze with a larger, more sustainable worldview in mind.
Edited on 8/16/10 to add the following: Chris Jordan and his crew have recently started another website that documents what they are currently finding on the Midway Atoll with video footage. No words can adequately describe what he is witnessing. Please view for yourself, but note that the images are quite disturbing. www.midwayjournal.com.
So, in light of the fact that we were recently and unexpectedly unable to take a much needed, much wanted and much planned vacation to Vermont with just the three of us (courtesy of the regulatory agency that decided to inspect my husband E's company during which E was required to be present), I decided that I needed some lighthearted reading for a change and to help me get out of my funk. I am not even sure how I stumbled across this book–maybe it was referenced on a website I was reading–but the other night I downloaded Stuff White People Like, by Christian Lander. Now, this book came out about two years ago, so clearly I live under a rock. That became even more apparent when I learned….AFTER reading the book….that it was premised on a blog of the same name and that all of the content (that I had just paid for) was available for free online. So let me save you some dough…if you don't want the book, at least visit the site. That said, I encourage you to get your hands on a copy of this book if you haven't read it already if only because there are some chapters that are a tad longer (and therefore even funnier) than the website. Although the website does have entries that were added after the book came out (most recently, The World Cup). Either way, you can't lose.
To use a local term of art, this book is WICKED funny. Perhaps what is so funny about it to me is that it reads like my autobiography and simultaneously makes fun of people like me. I am a huge fan of self-deprecating humor. If you can't laugh about yourself, then something's wrong. I particularly related to the chapters about coffee, farmer's markets, organic food, vegan/vegetarianism, 80s night, expensive sandwiches, living by the water and dinner parties. Truth be told, some of the other chapters further supported the notion that I am actually living under a rock (or alternatively maybe am not as white as I thought I was!)–I have no idea who the heck Wes Anderson and Michel Conroy are! (Although I did happen to see Dave Chappelle's Block Party movie, so maybe that counts for something). Anyway, it's a quick read and you will likely laugh out loud. The summer's almost over folks so grab your beach towel and get this book in quickly!
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
I read this article by Meathead Goldwyn today on Huffington Post and thought it was worth sharing. No matter how he ultimately feels or acts after the 30 days of his vegetarian experience, I think it's admirable anytime someone can openly step outside of their comfort zone and be receptive to new ideas, new approaches. Good luck Meathead!
I am well aware that there is always more than one argument on any given issue, and I always love a good debate (what lawyer doesn't?). To see Meathead's original post that became the catalyst for his 30-day quest, click here. The original post and the comments that follow provide a good source of ideas in the meat/no-meat debate.
Check back soon for a "want to know more?" resource page for anyone looking to reduce or eliminate their meat consumption and reasons why it might not be such a bad idea.

Seepage Water Treatment: ZS Screw Blower Supplies Bacteria With AirSource: Atlas Copco Airpower Compressor Technique
In the seepage water treatment installation at the Münster waste management center, a screw blower from Atlas Copco supplies aerobic bacteria with air. The low-maintenance technology and the integrated frequency inverter were the deciding factors to use the energy-efficient ZS 55+ VSD.
The seepage water from the two central waste dumps is poisonous and needs to be treated. "This water is normally nearly odorless," says sewage technology specialist Wilfried Rasch. "If it smells bad, then something is wrong."

[google boggled]
From the BBC: "'Human error' hits Google search
Google's search service has been hit by technical problems, with users unable to access search results.
For a period on Saturday, all search results were flagged as potentially harmful, with users warned that the site "may harm your computer.
Users who clicked on their preferred search result were advised to pick another one.
Google attributed the fault to human error and said most users were affected for about 40 minutes.
"What happened? Very simply, human error," wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog.
The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning.
Stopbadware.org investigates consumer complaints to decide which sites are dangerous.
The list of malevolent sites is regularly updated and handed to Google.
When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous.
"We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," Ms Mayer wrote."
After the BBC story google updated theirs (they noted that changes are marked in blue):
"If you did a Google search between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST this morning, you likely saw that the message "This site may harm your computer" accompanied each and every search result. This was clearly an error, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our users.
What happened? Very simply, human error. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously. We do this to protect our users against visiting sites that could harm their computers. We maintain a list of such sites through both manual and automated methods. We work with a non-profit called StopBadware.org to come up with criteria for maintaining this list, and to provide simple processes for webmasters to remove their site from the list."
[phd position: social media]
PhD Position in Sociality and Social Media
University of Amsterdam(Noord-Holland), hours per week
Job description
We are seeking an individual who is excited about engaging in multidisciplinary approaches to studying information, communication and related technologies in a social context. The appointee will be expected to conduct research on sociality and social media; the research should lead to international journal publications and a PhD thesis. The research can combine multiple methods of investigation, qualitative as well as quantitative. The candidate will be supervised by Prof. Rik Maes and Dr Ard Huizing, who have extensive experience in guiding doctorate students' research, and can provide guidance in a wide range of research methods as well as access to a large set of local and multinational organizations.
Human relationships are increasingly mediated by social media such as social networking sites, micro-blogging services and social recommendation sites. Such new media are said to host new forms of group interaction and togetherness. Appealing to the human tendency to bind oneself with others and thus to form and join groups to engage in interdependent relationships, they afford sociality. In turn, the design and usage of social media are continually re-created and reshaped by participants or members translating, enacting and modifying these technologies to suit their various contexts. This project will explore the co-constitutive interplay between sociality and social media, and the implications of this interplay for design and design theory. Theoretical lenses are provided by those who theorize such notions as 'object-centred sociality' or 'the materialization of the subject', which are mainly being developed in social theory, social studies of technology and, increasingly, organization theory. The particular research questions will be framed in line with the interests of the PhD candidate.
Required education/skills:
- Master's degree in one of the social sciences (e.g. Information or Communication Science, Management or Business Studies, Sociology or Anthropology)
- Interest (and preferably experience) in field research
Demonstrated mastery of both written and spoken English
- Determination to complete a PhD degree within four years
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers(Scientific discipline: Economics)

[Médias et transdisciplinarité- Michel Cazenave]
Michel Cazenave's seminar gave me lots to think about; as I said lastnight when we went to coffee to dissect the talk: "je dois penser encore!" The talk was very philosophical but I suppose that is to be expected from someone who is ecrivain, poète and philosophe. Something that kept coming up was the idea that science (with a capital S) has specific demands and methods which means it operates on a different level of being than transdisciplinary enquiries (one might say this holds also for spiritual, moral, or more "humanities" driven questions).
After the talk there was some time for questions and one came from a woman at the back who asked something that has been posed to me: "give a concrete example of a transdisciplinary..." and in this case it was of a film. Cazenave had a good answer: how to give a concise example for something that is so complex and complicated?
NB: that catchy title of "studies in..." is thanks to Basarab Nicolesu who, while chatting about transdisciplinarity (but of course), noted that aptness of the word "studies."

[A Digital Humanities Manifesto]
There are 29 separate points in the UCLA Digital Humanities Centre's manifesto but these stood out for me:
"The first wave was quantitative, mobilizing the vertiginous search and retrieval powers of the database. The second wave is qualitative, interpretive, experiential, even emotive. It immerses the digital toolkit within what represents the very core strength of the Humanities: complexity.Interdisciplinarity/transdisciplinarity/multidisciplinarity are empty words unless they imply changes in language, practice, method, and output.The digital is the realm of the open: open source, open resources, open doors. Anything that attempts to close this space should be recognized for what it is: the enemy."

[social networks and adult usage - stats]
The share of adult internet users who have a profile on an online social network site has more than quadrupled in the past four years -- from 8% in 2005 to 35% now, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project's December 2008 tracking survey.
While media coverage and policy attention focus heavily on how children and young adults use social network sites, adults still make up the bulk of the users of these websites. Adults make up a larger portion of the US population than teens, which is why the 35% number represents a larger number of users than the 65% of online teens who also use online social networks.
Still, younger online adults are much more likely than their older counterparts to use social networks, with 75% of adults 18-24 using these networks, compared to just 7% of adults 65 and older. At its core, use of online social networks is still a phenomenon of the young.
Overall, personal use of social networks seems to be more prevalent than professional use of networks, both in the orientation of the networks that adults choose to use as well as the reasons they give for using the applications. Most adults, like teens, are using online social networks to connect with people they already know.
When users do use social networks for professional and personal reasons, they will often maintain multiple profiles, generally on different sites.
Most, but not all adult social network users are privacy conscious; 60% of adult social network users restrict access to their profiles so that only their friends can see it, and 58% of adult social network users restrict access to certain content within their profile.

Also have a look at the Wisconsin State Journal's Down to a Whisper on the loss of Native languages. There are images, video and the most interesting bit is the option to listen to Native languages; choose paragraphs, sayings or even just vowel sounds.

Happy Money Day (or Monday!) From PCHSearch!
If you love to win prizes instantly — and who doesn't? — PCHSearch is the place for you! Prizes are popping up all over the place and people are winning instantly every day! And today being Prizefest, we get to tell you all about it. Ah, we love Mondays!
You know, this blog may be the only place you'll see those happy words. No, we're not crazy. Look at it this way. Monday is the day to rise up and begin a new week with a fresh outlook. According to PCHSearch&Win, cultures the world over call it the Day of the Moon. In fact, our word came from the Middle English Monenday. Which, if you ask me, looks a lot like Money Day!
Well, Money Day would make sense because today we're announcing a week's worth of giveaways totaling over $10,000 — a fantastic line-up of cash, gift cards and prizes!
Take a look at the prizes to be won….
Monday, August 6th — today — The Prize of the Day is a $500 Travelocity Gift Card! Dying to escape the daily grind? You can if you win it! With this prize, you would have money to spend on a weekend getaway! Soaking in a hot tub with a mountain view, bubbly by your side…but I digress.
Tuesday, August 7th — The Vault is being opened! $5,000.00 in prizes are spilling out, and they MUST be awarded! Go get some — mark your calendar and be sure to SEARCH!
Wednesday, August 8th — FIVE $100.00 Sports Authority Gift Cards!
Thursday, August 9th — Get your game face on, because a Wii will be awarded! Play golf on a rainy day, practice your hoops or your dance steps. Total FUN!
Friday, August 10th — $100.00 Cash Winner Every Hour! A wonderful windfall for a summer's day!
Saturday, August 11th — TEN $100.00 Cash Prizes. Spend it, save it, it's CASH! It's FREE!
Sunday, August 12th — $500.00 Cash For Bills (or for whatever you want!) Win it, and breathe a sigh of relief!
As you can see, there's a ton of great prizes to be won this week at PCHSearch&Win! And don't forget — your first search of the day gets you an entry into the August 31st "Forever" Prize Event: Win $5,000 A Week For Life, then after that, $5,000 A Week for the life of someone you choose. That's one prize opportunity you don't want to pass up. So why not "shoot the moon" — use PCHSearch for all your Web searches every day of the week. You could win prizes instantly or even win "Forever" on August 31st. Imagine what a "Money Day" that would be!
Best of luck to you all!

01335 390 519 / 07905 257 650
Orchard Farm, Parwich, Nr. Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1QB
Today dawned grey but improved steadily and by the time the duck race was due to start it felt positively summery. People walked from Parwich across the fields, others biked and some drove. The children played happily in or near the water and the adults basked in the warm sunshine.
At 2pm this afternoon three hundred plastic ducks were launched just above the ford; the journey was not straightforward as most seemed to head straight for the banks and had to be encouraged back into the flow; the fastest seemed to be those that keeled over and floated on their sides (there might even be a moral there).
The three winners were the first to reach the second of two nets stretched across the stream below the ford crossing, where Carl stood in his wellies waiting patiently to identify the first three through. They didn't just have to get there, they had also to float through a hole in the first net to be caught by the second.
Strangely the second duck to make it through happened to belong to the organiser, Mick, but as he was nowhere near the finishing line there could be no question of foul play. Strangely too, I didn't win a prize. Normally I seem to but maybe 2011 will not be my year. Each duck cost £1, and the whole idea was to raise money to finance the St George's Day parade later in the month. So, £300 raised and a lot of fun enjoyed into the bargain…

Note: Marty Biron Is A Really Big Part Of This Team
This season, Marty Biron has a record of 10-2-1 with 2 shutouts and a GAA of 2.03 and save percentage of .919.
Following the Rangers win over the Maple Leafs recently, John Tortorella talked about Biron on Hockey Night Live:
"I can't even call him a back up. It's not about getting Hank rest, it's about a goalie getting a win for you. He is a perfect fit for where we are as a team. He is a good teammate and understands his role on the team. He has been a very big piece to us in the first half."
Tortorella said before the game against Tampa, "He understands his role and that is very important. We talked to him a couple of years ago before we signed him and had a conversation and that was very important because Hank is our number one guy. He understood that and the thing that is really good is that he brings a personality into the locker room and it's a different personality and I think that is very important with our club. He is a really good teammate and he has really played well since he has been here. "
I say it every time Marty is mentioned, they need to sign him to an extension. I worry that with some team will overpay him in the offseason to be a starter and the Rangers will lose him and have to find another back up to try and recreate not only what he does on the ice but also in the locker room. From an organizational standpoint, Henrik Lundqvist can't play more than 60-62 games a season if he wants to be fresh for the playoffs each season, so the Rangers know that they need a capable backup.

McDonough: The Year 2000 Challenges
|September 21, 1997
| William J. McDonough, President
Remarks by President William J. McDonough before the Annual Membership Meeting of the Institute of International Finance I am pleased to be able to share my thoughts with you today on an issue that is sure to challenge every one of our organizations for the next several years -- the Year 2000 and how the century date change poses a very significant risk for financial markets.
The Basle Supervisors' paper does a good job of laying out the full scope of the challenge, and I commend it to your attention. The paper should serve as a strong wake-up call. There still is time to address the problem, but now there is urgency in making the difficult choices. In the mere two years that are left, the challenge will be to minimize business and systemic impacts as much as possible.
By now, all major financial institutions should have identified what needs to be done and be in, or near, the final stages of developing detailed plans. Work on changing all applications identified as high business priorities also should be well under way. In the United States, most large institutions plan to have their major applications available for external testing around the middle of 1998, with an expectation that testing with other major institutions would largely be completed by year-end 1998. This schedule allows all of 1999 for end-to-end testing on an industry-wide basis.
But even with two years to spare, it is safe to say that no organization will be able to cope successfully with the Year 2000 challenge unless both its management and staff realistically measure its scope and commit to its solution. Bluntly stated, if your own management and staff, or your correspondents and customers, take any of the following positions, your organization may be at risk:
As a bank supervisor, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will do whatever it can to encourage banks to set up and adhere to programs that deal with Year 2000 problems. Our examiners will focus on how well individual banks are doing and will highlight for senior management and directors those instances when progress may be lagging. This oversight will include not only U.S. banks, but also the U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. However, the motivation and determination to cope with the Year 2000 problem must come from within banking organizations rather than from supervisory oversight. Getting the Year 2000 issue right is critical for every organization. Failure to get it right will affect the integrity of the payments system and the performance of the domestic, and maybe even the global, economy.
The Federal Reserve is working hard to make certain that our systems will be ready and fully tested. And I am pleased by the high level of central bank coordination on this issue, as the recent release of the Basle Supervisors' technical paper demonstrates. All of us need to make sure we are paying sufficient attention and applying appropriate resources to the Year 2000 issue. Only in that way will we be able to insure that the millennium changeover is an occasion for joy and optimism.
Thank you.

Finding the best psychic for you is not difficult if you know how and where to look.
While finding psychic today may be easier than ever before, identifying a qualified one can be much more challenging. If you do a search for psychics online, you will literally find thousands of sites dedicated to psychic readers which make all sorts of claims about their authenticity and abilities. There are so many sites dedicated to psychic readings in fact, that you would almost be led to believe that just about anyone in need of a job could become a "psychic" if you didn't know any better. So how can you tell a real psychic from an imposter given what seems to be an almost infinite number of choices? Actually, finding an authentic psychic is a lot easier than you may think as long as you are willing to take the time to do a little research. To find the best psychic for you, here are a few recommendations you should always try to follow:
While psychics who work independently and have there own sites can be great, the sad truth is that many of them can't always be trusted. For one, you can never be certain that the testimonials they feature on their sites are authentic and, for another, there really isn't a whole lot that you can do in advance to research them unless they have at least a few independent customer reviews on sites like Yelp or a similar consumer rating service. If, on the other hand, you don't mind a little risk, and can afford the cost, then by all means take a chance as long as you are aware of what you are doing. There are certainly plenty of great independent psychics out there and you may just end up getting lucky and finding a great one. Otherwise, it is probably best to avoid independent psychics altogether unless you have a strong personal recommendation from someone who has already had a reading from them.
The best alternative is to try one of the more reputable psychic networks. Generally these networks represent anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred psychics who specialize in all types of readings. The biggest advantage of using a network is that most of the reputable ones will back every reading up with a full customer satisfaction guarantee. If you are unhappy with your reading for any reason then these services will typically apply a credit to your account which can be used for a reading with a different psychic. And because psychic networks rely on the authenticity of their psychics to be profitable, the mediocre ones are usually weeded out pretty quickly.
The other big advantage of using a network is that you can be fairly certain that the reviews and testimonials left by customers for each psychic are real and unedited. Spending a little time reading these psychic reviews can tell you a lot of about a psychic. Not only will you get a good idea about the psychic's accuracy, you'll also learn a great deal about what you can expect from them during a reading. You will also want to take the time to review their bios. Every psychic is different and many specialize in particular types of readings. You want to make sure that you are selecting the best psychic to address your type of question.
Lastly, most psychic networks will offer great introductory incentives to encourage new customers to try their service. Shop around a bit and take advantage of these offers whenever possible. It can be a great way to try a psychic reading at a low cost and with very little risk.

I have just upgraded to premium, how do I get premium working on my mac?
All responses
Hi Jonathan,
How are you accessing Todoist on your mac? Are you using the web app, the Chrome extension, or the mac app? You can download the mac version right here. https://todoist.com/mac
Make sure you are signed into the correct account on all plugins/apps that you are using. You can log-out from the TD icon on the top bar on your mac.
Same problem from me. For example, there is no "add note" button at the bottom side!
You are showing up as Premium on my end. As stated above, make sure you are signed into the correct account.
You can also try to log-out and back in again. If you believe you are signed into the correct account, does this only happen on the mac application, or is there a problem on the web version as well?
The key here is that you have to close down todoist, and re-open it. Please add this to your instructions.

About Panera Bread
Panera Bread is a chain of bakery–café quick casual restaurants in the United States and Canada. Its headquarters are in Sunset Hills, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, and operates as St. Louis Bread Company in the St. Louis metropolitan area. In 2010, the company's non profit foundation created Panera Cares, a non-profit "Pay what you can" restaurant in its home market of St. Louis. CEO Ron Shaich based the idea on an NBC profile of the SAME Cafe in Denver, Colorado. It has since expanded the concept to Dearborn, Michigan, and Portland, Oregon.
