Otherwise known in our house as "The Tenth Circle of Hell", because I am firmly convinced that if Dante had experienced Walmart, his vision of Hell would have had a tenth circle.
I don't like to shop there. I avoid it as much as possible, but living in a small town, they are the only store that carries certain things.
So I went.
The shopping part itself wasn't horrible, I found what I needed and salespeople didn't bother me with the pseudo-friendly desperation to sell me something that I run into at department stores.
The other customers on the other hand...there are some things that you can't un-see.
The fact that I am unable to bleach my brain clean of what I witnessed prompts me to state the following...
Size 24W spandex should not exist. (No REALLY it shouldn't)
Evidently parents no longer teach their daughters about pantyhose. Ladies if you just HAVE to wear something that tight...buy some control top pantyhose (all-in-one...no lines) and use them. (I could give this same advice to some people at church.)
It's just as evident that parents no longer teach their sons that walking around with your underwear showing isn't macho...it's just stupid looking.
Just because it's warm out does NOT mean that you have a God-given right to wear Daisy Dukes. NO ONE has the right to wear Daisy Dukes (not even Catherine Bach herself). You don't need to show that much leg. Really you don't. It may be "attractive" to some men, but ask yourself if it's a man who will respect you.
Same goes for short skirts. I'm not talking just above the knee...I'm talking mid-thigh or higher. Who are you trying to attract? And for what purpose? Skirts that short used to only be worn by prostitutes plying their trade on street corners in seedy parts of town. When (and more importantly WHY) did they become acceptable for non-prostitutes to wear?
Neither do you have the right to wear spaghetti straps. (Especially if you are anything larger than a B cup ladies. If you are big busted...give those girls some support!!!!)
While we're talking about spaghetti straps...have you ladies never
heard that it's trashy to walk around with your bra straps exposed?
Last but not least...big bosom-ed women should not wear V-neck shirts. Just SHOULD NOT!!!!
People...you aren't big boned. Take the pork rinds out of your cart and buy some vegetables. And NO they can't be dipped in batter and fried. And lay off the beer. Go for a walk. (Yes I know some people have medical conditions. Trust me, that many people do not. Some have a 'lack of self-control' condition.)
While you are waiting for the vegetables to take off those extra pounds...buy some clothing that covers all the bits and blobs of you currently hanging out the top, and the bottom or oozing out the sides.
Guys...Scratching yourself in public, using vulgar language and belching loudly and then laughing about it is NOT in the least attractive. You don't look like a stud when you do those things. You look like an idiot.
Ladies...screaming at your children to shut up because they don't enjoy spending hours wandering around Walmart does NOT impress anyone with your parenting skills. If you can't keep your temper in public, and become verbally abusive towards your children...it does cause people to wonder how much more abusive you are in private.
Pajamas are not appropriate attire to wear in public. If you can't get dressed for the day...don't go out.
Buy a full length mirror and put it next to the front door. Take a good look at yourself before you leave the house...then maybe the rest of us won't have an urgent desire to bleach their brain.
I'm 45. Which I'm pretty sure is not that old.
So...when did people stop caring what they looked like in public. No really. When did this happen?
It's almost as if society collectively decided to throw away the notion that it matters how we present ourselves in public.
Why is that?
Thanks for reading...

Commentary on a visit to Walmart...
3 comments:
Just popped over from Linen on the Hedgerow, and couldn't help but leave a comment - this post is just spot on. The first time I saw a young man with his trousers hanging down and his underwear showing, it made me think of a toddler running around with his full nappy (diaper) hanging down! LolReplyDelete
God Bless.
Mrs. D. That is exactly what my Beloved thinks as well...he used to wonder when it became cool to look like you need your diaper changed.ReplyDelete

How the hell is a website supposed to pay for expenses on a not-for-profit website if they don't have ads. I. - Ad-Block Plus, Peerblock, AVG Safe Search with Link Scanner, and more can block it, for example, I am on here and all I see is what I type and above, I don't even have to see that stupid Justin Bieber sidebar thing with the hidden link that extends three inches to the left of it.

Adblock Plus
September 13, 2012 at 9:28 am
Christian... Larry specifically stated "video" ads. Thus, obviously he has no problem with the other ads. Another factor is Adblock (Plus) only works on Firefox. Maybe he's not using Firefox or prefers not to when navigating DYAC.
Thaddeus Warner:
September 14, 2012 at 2:06 am
Brian Joslyn Adblock Plus is available for Chrome (I'm using it right now).
I've never seen a video ad on this site with ABP. I recommend it to everyone
September 14, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Brian, before getting all "Hey, I'm smarter than you!" why don't you take a look at the Chrome apps. There IS AdBlock for Chrome. I'm using Chrome right now, and hey, guess what, I have AdBlock running.
Maybe do a bit of research before you start telling people that they're wrong.
September 15, 2012 at 1:32 am
Good rebuttal there, Brian. Considering I was commenting on the fact that you said, and I quote, "Chrome doesn't offer any such thing... it's offered for use on Firefox" your response to me means absolutely nothing. AdBlock Plus IS available for Chrome, even though you sit there and say it is not.
Now, would you like to respond to what I actually said to you, and not come up with some garbage about how it is junk, which has nothing to do with what I said to you?
September 15, 2012 at 1:40 am
Boyd, Brian just doesn't understand. And his comment of "if you have a problem with ads online then you shouldn't be online" is a garbage argument. It's one where the person has absolutely nothing of relevance to say, so they say something that makes themselves feel better.
I'm all for no ads online. I don't need to see ads online. I will never see any ad online that will make me want to buy something. I know all I need to know by my own research. No ad will push me in one direction or another.
September 15, 2012 at 1:47 am
Aww, you're kinda touchy, aren't you? And no, you did NOT respond to my "meaningless nonsense." You mentioned me in your post, but then responded about something completely different. I called you out about Adblock Plus being available for Chrome. Your response to me wasn't even close to mentioning anything about it being available for Chrome.
Again, next time you want to tell someone that something is or is not a certain way, you should research before saying anything. Don't want to look like an idiot now, do you?
September 15, 2012 at 2:01 am
Ok, last time I try to explain this to you. I said NOTHING about ads. Not a thing. I mentioned one thing, that Adblock is available for Chrome, countering what you said, that it was NOT available for Chrome. When you responded to me, you didn't say, "Yes, you were right" or "No, you're wrong," you started in about how it is junk. I never said anything about whether it was junk or not. I never said anything about if ads should be blocked or not. I just said, "You're wrong, it is available on Chrome." Seriously, look back up, and see what I said, then look at what you said! You didn't say anything back to me about it being available, not until a few comments later!
Wow man, I think I'm done with you. You really do NOT understand.
September 15, 2012 at 2:08 am
You need explain ANYTHING to me. I need not read back. You didn't need to specifically mention ads, you implied them by mentioning AB(P). I know I stated it's junk, because it is... and it's a valid factor in such a discussion as this.
The fact remains... I DO understand.
September 15, 2012 at 2:17 am
Understandable Boyd... and I thank you for having the respect to not only state but imply more specifically that it's time for this to end. However, there's technically no debate. I realize that advertising is simply part of life. It's everywhere. As far as online advertising, I know PLENTY about how it works and don't appreciate my true and factual knowledge, although stated in my own words, being disrespected (especially with harassment as a result).
I've not done nor said anything wrong... thus, it's not my responsibility to cease this nonsense. That is, despite the fact that I have PLENTY better (and more important) things to do.
September 15, 2012 at 2:28 am
So now you've harassed me again, Boyd. If only you were right on ANY of the disrespectful assumptions you made. Despite the fact that it's none of your business what all I have to do, I will say that one thing just happens to involve business.

Your Harlem Lifestyle Destination Since 2006
Photo By Lauren Lancaster, Courtesy of City Limits
"Newports! Newports!" You hear that call quite often when walking down 125th Street. Probably second only to women asking to braid your hair. Well, City Limits has done a little digging into the cigarette hustle that thrives in Harlem. There are some interesting smoking statistics and a little background on the sting operations cops do to catch these tobacco peddlers.
Do you think these guys impact how much people smoke or would people smoke just as much regardless of if they were selling cheap cigarettes or not?
Freedom of speech is more than a dried up amendment to our constitution that is taught in high school, it is something we should cherish and protect, even when uncomfortable.
You deleting, editing this site is why it's not relevant and, well basically sucks.
You have to allow for even distasteful commentary, otherwise this will be a whitewashed insignificant empty place, something that is basically is today.
I think there would be fewer smokers if the bootleggers were not undercutting the market. I remember when the prices first went up to $8/pk. people said they would stop smoking. Some did, some cut back due to economics and others who can afford it are still puffing away. Newports are the most disgusting brand of cigarettes on the market and it is very interesting that Newports are the brand that they choose to hawk as opposed to say Mistys or Virginia Slims. By design? Hmmmmmm….
I thought this was a felony, tax evasion..
People have got to stop blaming marketing and advertising for their deadly habits. We have a choice – stop blaming others and take responsibility yourself. This is the same welfare mentality in our neighborhood we hear when parents blame everyone but themselves for their kids turning out wrong.
To turn Harlem around we need to be accountable for our actions and not play the victim all the time.
We have brains. Lets use them. No excuses!

An Obvious Secret
The monumental achievements of middle-class morality.
Jun 6, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 36 • By JAMES SEATON
The Bourgeois Virtues
Ethics for an Age of Commerce
by Deirdre N. McCloskey
Chicago, 634 pp., $22.50
Deirdre McCloskey is well aware that the Western intellectual class—what she calls, following Samuel Coleridge, "the clerisy"—has been, with notable exceptions, hostile to capitalism and downright contemptuous of the morals and attitudes of the middle class that has flourished under capitalism. Since 1848, the most damning adjective among intellectuals from the radical left through the romantic right has been "bourgeois." McCloskey also knows, and demonstrates beyond cavil, that such contempt has been not only mistaken but dangerous: She observes that "in actual fact middle-class people have not been monsters" while "their sworn enemies, from Lenin to Pol Pot, Abimael Guzman, and Osama bin Laden, commonly have been." The great anticapitalist tyrannies of the 20th century "killed many millions and nearly killed us all."
Meanwhile, even well-meaning attempts to interfere with free markets have almost always hurt rather than helped those needing help the most. McCloskey provides plenty
Today there should be little question that capitalism "works better for the average person, as we saw 1917-1989, than so-called central planning backed by a Cheka or a KGB." The success of capitalism and the failure of central planning in improving the lot of ordinary citizens have not, however, diminished the clerisy's attraction to government planning or its disdain for the market. Instead, the clerisy has claimed that the wealth of some in a world where others are poor is a sure sign of the sinfulness of the former and the innocence, if not sainthood, of the latter.
McCloskey will have none of it. Ernest Hemingway is supposed to have pointed out to Scott Fitzgerald that the rich were not really different except in having more money. McCloskey makes a similar observation about those with less: "The poor are not better than you and me. They're just poorer." Individual success in the market does not require another's failure, so personal wealth is not an indicator of moral culpability: "Guilt over success in a commercial society is for a victimless crime."
Likewise, McCloskey briskly dismisses the clerisy's use of imperialism as a blanket explanation for the gulf between the wealth of the industrialized nations and the poverty of what is still called the Third World: "Countries are rich or poor, have a great deal to consume or very little, mainly because they work well or badly, not because some outsider is adding to or stealing from a God-given endowment." Or yet more pithily: "Countries where stealing rather than dealing rules become poor and then remain so." The kleptocratic socialisms of the Third World, that is to say, have succeeded in preventing the embourgeoisement of their countries at the price of keeping the wretched of the earth wretched.
Others, of course, have made the case for capitalism as an instrument for creating wealth, but some of the most influential defenders have erred, McCloskey argues, in assuming that nothing more needs to be said. They have also erred in believing with Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism that human beings are concerned with nothing but maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. On this view, courage, faith, justice, and the other traditional virtues are irrelevant and unnecessary, since the only virtue required for the good life is a narrow prudence. In the American academy for the last half-century the dominant view of capitalism was set by the late Paul Samuelson, whose "Samuelsonian economics" intimated that "the only character we need in understanding capitalism is Mr. Maximum Utility, the monster of Prudence who has no place in his character for Love—or any passion beyond Prudence Only." Thus "in the late twentieth century even sophisticated capitalists came to recommend a devotion to Prudence Only, Wall Street's 'greed is good.' "

JJ Goldberg Disappoints
Former Forward editor in chief J.J. Goldberg has a fairly positive reputation among progressive Jews, and although he has never been a radical about Israel or the Middle East, neither is he a reflexive hawk or neoconservative. Hence it is particularly disappointing to read his recent hit piece on Roger Cohen in the Forward, a piece that is long on condescension and sanctimony but short on any real engagement with the issues. Goldberg's thesis is that Cohen is cynical, or naive, or both – that his writing on Iran has been motivated fundamentally by a careerist desire to "sound provocative," but that he is an amateur "in over his head." It is not clear whether this analysis applies equally to anyone else fighting back against the alarmism of the "bomb Iran" crowd. Does he feel that Cohen's anatagonists – the Abe Foxmans and Jeffrey Goldbergs of the world – are models of subtlety and expertise? Last I checked Foxman was defending East Jerusalem settlements and (Jeffrey) Goldberg was arguing that Iran is the new Amalek.
I won't try to respond to (J.J.) Goldberg's arguments, principally because he does not see fit to make many actual arguments as opposed to ad hominem dismissals. I would, however, just like to highlight one passage that was immediately picked up by some of the usual suspects, in which he discusses Cohen's treatment of Obama Middle East advisor Dennis Ross, known as the administration's foremost Iran hawk:
Ross's role in the administration raises many questions in Cohen's mind, but the one that comes up over and over throughout the article, "a recurrent issue with Ross, who embraced his Jewish faith after being raised in a non-religious home by a Jewish mother and a Catholic stepfather, has been whether he is too close to the American Jewish community and Israel to be an honest broker with Iran or Arabs.†In the crisis atmosphere following the Iranian election, "Can this baggage-encumbered veteran… overcome ingrained habits and sympathies?†Indeed, "Will the Iranians be prepared to meet with Ross?†– a "reasonable question given Ross's well-known ties with the American Jewish community.â€
That, in effect, is the dilemma facing American policy toward Iran at this pivotal moment: Is there too much Jewish influence? We've heard the question before in Hamas sermons, in Al Qaeda videos and on some left-wing blogs. Now it's been incorporated into the nation's newspaper of record.
Of course, Roger Cohen is far from the first person to question whether Dennis Ross is too closely associated with Israel to be an effective Middle East policymaker. It was Aaron David Miller, Ross's former colleague on the Clinton administration peace process team, who famously claimed that the U.S. had been acting as "Israel's lawyer" under Ross's leadership. Another Clinton administration colleague, former ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer, published a book containing complaints from both American and Arab participants in the peace process that Ross was "biased towards Israel and not 'an honest broker'" (as Time magazine put it).
Are Aaron David Miller and Dan Kurtzer fomenting propaganda cribbed from "Hamas sermons" and "al Qaeda videos"? Could Miller and Kurtzer be closet al Qaeda sympathizers? Goldberg is off in Commentary/ZOA territory here, and it is beneath him.
Visit Lobelog.com for the latest news analysis and commentary from Inter Press News Service.
3 Responses to "JJ Goldberg Disappoints"
Roger Cohen's perfectly correct about Daniel Ross. And Goldberg's wrong: There's not too much "Jewish influence" involved in our dealings with Iran. There's too much rabid Zionist neocon influence.
The Middle East–the whole world–knows the U.S. is Israel's protector and benefactor. That's got to change.
Israel is a lost cause. It is only a matter of time until the westernized Jews leave Israel and return to the West. The costs of making a westernized colony in the middle of Arabian culture will have proven to be too costly generating only hatred and discrimination. to no-one's benefit. The Arabic or Sephartic Jews will make accomodations with their Muslim brothers and co-exist with them as they always have before the disruption of Zionism. Zionism failed when it substituted racism for religion.
I agree. Israel is not going to last, which makes all the money and diplomatic capital America expends truly a wasted effort. As a very rough comparison think of Israel as a transplanted organ which the body (the Arab world) keeps rejecting.

Some people will always have Paris. Some of us just feel like were always hearing about Paris. With all the Francophile fanfare, you might expect that the citys well-documented joys, from the Eiffel Tower to the Champs-lyses, are overrated. Theyre not. And neither are some of the less trumpeted things to do in Paris; try adding Sainte-Chapelle to your list of key stops like the Louvre and Notre-Dame. Wherever you go (and whatever you eat), the City of Light and its pleasures are hard not to love, even when traveling alone in Paris. Drift down the Seine on a boat tour or dine at one of thousands of restaurants offering diverse cuisine, from traditional French to African to Indian. In short, everything wonderful you've heard about the city is true, and you can expect amour at first sight. Conveniently, Paris is full of lovely hotels, especially romantic hotels, where you can revel in your newfound appreciation for the capital of France. Find a flight and practice your best bonjour, mon amour!

Dr. Winter interviews centaur, Dr. Levitt.

Christopher Walken's "I gotta have more cowbell," is the line everyone remembers from this popular 2000 "SNL" spoof of Blue Oyster Cult on "VH1's Behind the Music." What's less well known is the wardrobe change that helped make it so memorable. Jimmy Fallon, who famously cracks up during the sketch, says the sketch wasn't as funny in dress rehearsal. Then Will Ferrell changed his shirt. Playing an overzealous cowbell player on "Don't Fear the Reaper," Ferrell's hard-working crop top brought hilarious ridiculousness. "When he lifted the cowbell, his gut came out of the bottom …. He's the funniest man on Earth," Fallon told Larry King. Enjoy the beloved moment and other classics from "Saturday Night Live."

Today, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released their latest Housing Market Index (HMI) showing a continued pullback for all measures as home builders downwardly adjusted their outlook in the wake of the home "buyer" tax credit expiration.
It's important to recognize that currently each sentiment index shows notable year-over-year declines with each still sitting near the lowest levels seen in over 20 years, a testament to the significance of the latest pullback.
Further, the "buyer traffic" index is showing the weakest results pulling back some 23% since July of 2009 and sitting just 3 points above the lowest level ever recorded.
The new home market will likely not resume any significant form of healthy function until the considerable overhang of inventory is cleared.

Is your living space filled with hazards that could cause you to fall? Changes can make you safer. They could even save your life. Take a careful look around your home. Change what you can on your own. Hire someone or ask friends or family to help with harder tasks.
Remove things that can trip you, like throw rugs, boxes, piles of paper, or cords.
Don't store items on stairs.
Keep walkways clear.
Clean up spills right away.
Replace glass tables with wooden ones. They're safer if you fall.
Add handrails to both sides of stairs.
Buy a raised toilet seat.
Add grab bars near the toilet and in the shower.
Get grabbers to help you reach things and avoid climbing.
Add nightlights to halls, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
Put light switches at the top and bottom of stairs.
Be sure each room and flight of stairs has proper lighting.
Use shades or curtains to cut glare from windows.
Put flashlights in each room. Replace burned-out bulbs.
Get glowing light switches for room entrances.
Use nonskid floor wax.
Buy a nonslip mat and a liquid soap dispenser for the shower.
Tack down carpets or use slip-resistant backing.
Put most-used items within easy reach.
Add bright paint or tape on the top front edge of steps.
Save big jobs, such as moving furniture or other heavy objects, for family or friends.
Get professional help installing grab bars. They can be unsafe if not installed the right way.
Don't tackle everything at once. Focus on one room at a time. The bathroom is a common spot for falls, so you may start there. Or start with a room you spend lots of time in, such as your bedroom. Make only a few changes at once. This will give you time to adjust to them.
You might arrange for these changes yourself, or you might need to talk to your building manager or homeowners' association about them.
Have loose boards on porches or damaged stairs repaired.
Have rough edges, holes, or large cracks in sidewalks or driveways repaired.
Have hazards that could trip you, such as hoses or vines, removed.
Use high-wattage light bulbs (100 or greater) near outside doors and stairs.
Get handrails added to outside stairs. Have them extend beyond the bottom step.
Get help in winter weather with ice or snow removal.

Kiteboarding News
- 07 May 2009 | Kiteboarding
The 2009 Triple-S Invitational is coming up FAST, scheduled for May 30th – June 5th in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina !
The Triple-S is an "invite only" freeride event, featuring the 24 best kiteboarders in the world, including 5x World Champion Aaron Hadlow, plus Ruben Lenten, Andre Phillip, Jason Slezak, Sam Bell and more !
Part of this year's Triple-S Invitational was the expansion of the "Wild Card" entry opportunities to 3 positions. This will allow for new talent to make it into the Triple-S Invitational each year through this competitive wild card entry process.
Over 20 Wild Card entries were received, of which the Triple-S Event Committee had to make the tough decision of narrowing the field down to only 3 wild card riders to compete in the Triple-S Invitational.
All of the videos featured a very high level of riding, in flatwater, on the rails, in the snow, and in the surf, from an international pool of kiteboarders spanning the globe.
Just the wildcard entries themselves could be put together to form a world-class event or action DVD ! The riding ability and variety was truly spectacular !
After over 4 hours of viewing all the videos, the diversified panel of 7 judges unanimously voted in Sam Medysky, Ian Alldredge, and Petter Johnsen to fill the three wildcard positions for the 2009 Triple-S Invitational.
These riders, along with 21 others, will travel to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and re-define once again what is possible for the sport of kiteboarding.

The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) has announced today that the Experimental Kiteboarding Competition Rules have been released and published on the ISAF website.
The Appendix BB -- Experimental Kiteboarding Competition Rules have been published to provide a consistent global framework for kiteboarding competition. The Experimental Rules were produced by members of the ISAF Racing Rules Committee and ISAF Windsurfing Committee in collaboration with a group of kiteboarding enthusiasts in Europe and the USA.
These Kiteboarding Competition Rules are called "experimental" because they will be revised from time to time in response to feedback, comments and suggestions sent to ISAF by sailors, event organizers and judges who use them.
Ultimately, it is expected that a revised version of Appendix BB will be put forward to be considered by the ISAF Racing Rules Committee and the ISAF Council for inclusion as a new appendix in a future edition of The Racing Rules of Sailing, the rules which govern the sport on the water worldwide.
The Experimental Kiteboarding Competition Rules were developed from the Windsurfing Competition Rules in Appendix B of The Racing Rules of Sailing. They are freely available to download from The Racing Rules of Sailing pages on the ISAF website.
David TILLETT (AUS), Chairman of the ISAF Racing Rules Committee, said, "ISAF is delighted to introduce the Experimental Kiteboarding Competition Rules. These Experimental Rules provide a great starting point for competition in this exciting new area of our sport. I would like to thank the members of the group that developed these rules, and in particular Dick Rose, Chairman of the Racing Rules Working Party, and Kamen Fillyov, Chairman of the Windsurfing Committee, for their work in producing the Experimental Rules."
The ISAF Council welcomed kiteboarding into the ISAF family in November 2008, when it approved the International Kiteboarding Association as an ISAF International Class Association at the ISAF Annual Conference in Madrid.

Re: buried EE problemDeathBringer-Zen Aug 2, 2013 4:39 PM (in response to shibalrocks)
Yes, all players who start a game (even in custom) to do the easter egg must also finish the game without lagging out or hot joining.
You can still get the achievement ok, but if you lag out and rejoin, you will not be able to get the tower to align.
Re: buried EE problemshibalrocks Aug 2, 2013 4:41 PM (in response to DeathBringer-Zen)
So .. **** SAKEEEEEEEEEEE I AIN'T GONNA DO IT AGAIN -_- DAMN IT TREYARCH
Re: buried EE problemDeathBringer-Zen Aug 2, 2013 4:45 PM (in response to shibalrocks)
Yeah, it seems a little silly on their part, but I suppose it was to stop people hot joining games on the last steps and getting the tower aligned easier.
Re: buried EE problemshibalrocks Aug 2, 2013 4:54 PM (in response to DeathBringer-Zen)
at least make the Game save your process , So they give us ******* broken servers and kick us out and when you do it they don't give me the end game because i timed out what logic is that
Re: buried EE problemto12143 Aug 2, 2013 5:53 PM (in response to shibalrocks)
I had this same problem, after about 6 hours of doing easter eggs(did all 3 tranzit die rise and buried) I learned that i only completed 2 of the 3, even though i completed all 3, i was not lagging at all during the first 2 but when we started to do buried i started to lag really bad, and then lagged out, immediately rejoined, finished the easter egg, but of course the other 3 guys got it, but not I, no, I now have to do it again if i want the infinite firesale and 4 gun mule kick, which it took us a good 2 and a half 3 hours to do buried alone, I was pissed off and now I get to waste even more points from the bank to do something i have already done

Our objectives
IMHSA will work constructively with central and local government to ensure that policy and funding decisions continuously support our vision for the future of mental health provision. We will also actively seek to raise the profile of the independent sector, emphasising the benefits of the high quality, innovative and personalised provision we deliver. As a forum, we will aim to meet our key objectives through the following:
- We will promote a better understanding of the number of people with mental health problems, defining the full range of services we offer which are required to efficiently meet their needs.
- We will promote alternative and inventive mechanisms to improve the fragmented funding system and make it work better for people with mental health problems.
- We will actively support a level playing field between private, state and foundation trust provision, and encourage better relationships with commissioners.
- We seek to promote a better understanding among decision-makers and commissioners of the long-term cost savings that can be achieved through high quality mental health services such as those that IMHSA members provide. Improved commissioning services can harness the involvement of the independent sector and promote choice and diversity of provision.
- We will aim to ensure that the recent changes to the Care Quality Commission enable it to be a robust and consistent regulator. We are proud of the high quality of our services and welcome the role of the Care Quality Commission in assuring standards.

Protect Net Neutrality in India
Internet is a global network, with total freedom. Well, that is soon going to change, unless you act now. While you are reading this, someone is trying to control what you see, read, download, listen or write on the internet by taking control over the sites you can access! Don't wait for that moment to happen. Act now, and protect Net Neutrality by signing in for the petition.
What is the matter with Net Neutrality anyways?
First, read the TRAI consultation paper ( 118 pages ). Don't worry you want to read it all of the pages to understand what their intention is. For example read this:
2.10 - At one extreme, some argue that TSPs should focus exclusively on their role as "bit pipes" (carriers of data through the pipes) rather than remain integrated companies that provide services and infrastructure. However, there is another side to the story. Building such networks will require substantial investments by the TSPs. With more users connecting to the iternet, the network of the TSP is under constant strain and there is the risk that the back - end server will reach its capacity very fast, thus compelling constant upgrades, the costs of which are to be borne exclusively or for the large part by the TSPs which build such networks.
What? If TSPs are going to invest in infrastructure, we are going to pay for better internet, anyways. Like 3G is costlier that 2G, 4G will be costlier and so on. But not at the cost of freedom. Who wants to trade their freedom for money?
Implications are easy to understand. Check out for these videos for more:
- Protect Net Neutrality In India
- Airtel Zero and what it means for Net Neutrality in India
- Firms vs free web: Net neutrality at risk?
Here are the steps:
- First, go through the TRAI Consultation Paper.
- Second, and most important step is send in your comments to TRAI, as mentioned on Page 2 of the Paper:
Stakeholders are requested to send their comments preferably in electronic form by 24 th April, 2015 and counter comments by 8th May 2015 on email id firstname.lastname@example.com. For any clarification / information, Shri A. Robert. J. Ravi, Advisor (TD & QoS) may be contacted at Tel. No. +91-11-23230404, Fax: +91-11-23213036.
Go to http://www.savetheinternet.in/ and send in your respose via email. The deadline for submission is 24th April 2015.

You must note down the three
export commands, and use them to set these environment variables.
Setup GAE ManagedVM environment
Use the Boot2Docker environment variables obtained earlier
$ export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
$ export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/home/tuxdna/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
$ export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
Now begin setup
$ gcloud preview app setup-managed-vms
Ideally this should just work, but if not, then read on.
When there are problems
This will not work right away as you may not have access to different Google registries such as
Get a SSH shell inside Boot2Docker VM, and pull the registry
$ ./boot2docker-v1.3.2-linux-amd64 ssh
$ docker pull google/docker-registry
You need to perform the following steps inside your local machine
Find your refresh token
$ gcloud auth print-refresh-token
Cretae a
registry-params.env file
$ cat > registry-params.env
Now use this file to run `google/docker-registry'
$ docker run -d --env-file=registry-params.env -p 5000:5000 google/docker-registry
And again try to run the setup
$ gcloud preview app setup-managed-vms
While these are the steps I have followed, I am still trying to make it work. Hopefully it will work very soon.

MACLUG Inauguration at New Delhi
Today I attend the inauguration ceremony of MACLUG – Maharaja Agrasen College, GNU/Linux Users Group. I was honoured to have been invited among many esteemed guests to light the lamp of this wonderful new beginning. This reminded me how nine years ago I along with a bunch of enthusiasts started JMILUG.
I shared my thoughts on "Freedom – Community – Science – Innovation"
Four Freedoms
Let me begin with the Four Freedoms. A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Why are these freedoms important?
It won't take much to realize how these Four Freedoms are. For example, lets take parallel between Four Freedoms and other things that affect our lives daily. Take note that these freedoms are applicable for more things than just software programs:
- Science – standing on the shoulder of the giants
- Literature and entertainment – Comics books turned into Super Hero TV Series and Movies
- Internet – wouldn't be possible if Tim Bernes Lee didn't share his idea and the technology
What if Newton or Einstein and many other scientists didn't share their theories? There wouldn't be modern science. What if all the literature was kept secret? There wouldn't be no entertainment. And list would go on and on.
We must be aware of the freedoms we carry with chores of daily life.
How do we take these freedoms forward?
We can spread the awareness of the Four Freedoms only through a Community. Community is a social unit of any size that shares common values. The people invest with shared capital ( such as belongingness ) and people communicate ( via words, art, emotions etc ) to share their views. Community consists of creators ( or contributors ) and consumers. All of the people have different roles and it better be organic, so that it can thrive based on these parameters:
- Motivation
- Passion
- Goals
We need to ensure a thriving community keeps everyone aware of these freedoms. I am confident that MACLUG students have these qualities, and I wish them good luck.
Welcome to the world of Free and Open Source Software

Single Window Mode in Pidgin Messenger Using Window_merge Plugin
I wanted to view all the different chat windows and the buddy list side by side in a single window. There is no such feature in stock Pidgin installation. Fortunately I found a plugin for same from this ticket.
This plugin is available on Github project dm0-/window-merge ( thanks to David Michael / dm0- for creating it ! ).
You can find the build / install instructions on the wiki, however here is how you can do it on Ubuntu 14.04 and other OSes.
First install Pidgin development headers
sudo apt-get install pidgin-dev
Now build the plugin
git clone https://github.com/dm0-/window_merge.git
cd window_merge
mkdir m4
autoreconf -fi
make install plugindir=~/.purple/plugins
Once it is installed, you have to enable it from
Tools -> Plugins, then enable "Window Merge". Here is a preview of window merge in action:
Generation and Visualization of Phylogenetic Trees
In the year 2006, I had created a project as a part of my academics. I finally managed to find the source code and complete project report which I have uploaded to Github. Mainily, I have updated the source code to use cmake build tool. The project documentation is in Asciidoc. Although it is quite an old piece of code, it works:
plyloviz — Phylogenetic Trees Visualization
phyloviz: phyloviz is Phylogenetic Trees Visualization tool. For more details visit Generation and Visualization of Phylogenetic Trees.
ClustalW 1.83,
I hope it is useful for someone already working in the field of Bioinformatics / Computational Biology.
Writing Two Books With AsciiDoc: Apache Mahout and Scala
For past few weeks I have been gathering my notes on two topics: Machine Learning with Apache Mahout and Programming in Scala. Now I have created two repositories for these two books, with source-code in AsciiDoc format. They are avilable on GitHub.

How to Configure 'Is Not Responding' Window Timeout in GNOME?
Everytime I load a heavy application such as Eclipse or Thunderbird, I see this annoying message which keeps repeating even if I press "Wait".
"Eclipse" is not responding.
You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit entirely.
[Force Quit] [Wait]
I tried to search for a solution and found that the question is unanswered in both Ubuntu forum as well as Fedora forum.
So I decide to figure out what code is making the popup window appear. It turns out that the function named
delete_ping_timeout_func is called whenever a timeout happens. Code with exact line number is present here .
However I didn't find any code which reads a timeout value from some configuration file. Is there a mechanism using which I can configure the delete window timeout value? Essentially I would like to make the timeout value to about 4 minutes.
As an aside, I see that metacity developers mailing list has not had any post since year 2011. So is it worth asking it on that mailing list?
OAuth2.0 Server Using Play! 2.0 Framework in Scala
OAuth2.0 supercedes OAuth1.0 protocol, specifically in making it simpler to use. It supports different workflows as described in its specification RFC-6749. The most concise pictorial representation I found is here.
I created a Play! 2.0 Application in Scala which supports server to server token exchange using OAuth2.0 Protocol. You can find the project source code on GitHub at play-oauth2-server. Its a complete working server codebase, with:
- Basic User login
- Client registration with Callback URL
- Auth Code generation
- Authentication Token and Refresh Token generation
This application also demonstrates the following:
- Twitter Bootstrap library using WebJars
- Typesafe Slick 2 library for database access
- Scoverage for Scala code coverage
- and Specification Tests
To play with it, folow project README document. Please report any issues here.
Machine Learning With Ruby
This post is about the talk I was supposed to give at Ruby Camp 2014, Delhi/NCR. After all the preparation, slides and code I missed it. Unfortunately, I fell sick overnight and I couldn't make it. Apologies for that.
The best I could do is upload all the material online on GitHub and my website.
- the code is on GitHub at this repository: tuxdna/rubyml.
- the generated slides are also online here
Thats all!

To be honest, I am confused by your question. What do you exactly mean by "suits my Android Galaxy"? Do you mean applications tailored for Galaxy or applications that look good on Galaxy? Are you looking for a location based App that does something specific?
There are lots of different applications that use GPS in Android Market both free and paid, why don't you try them out?
VineetK Singh wrote:Hi Jothi,
You are a Java developer why not code your own app??
Handling GPS and location based data is very simple in Android.
Tim Holloway wrote:Does the Galaxy not run Google Maps? On my HTC, Google Maps came with the phone.
Then again, on that unit, Google everything came with the phone.
Tim Holloway wrote:That's a bit different. You can get that even without true GPS, if it's what I think it is. Sprint provided one of those with the phone. Google can't do everything, and besides, Sprint owns (or at least leases) the cell towers that are the primary location references.

While the vast majority of Americans who are injured at work report their being hurt to the proper authorities within their employer, a fairly substantial portion opts not to do so - mainly out of fear of reprisal, recently released polling data confirms.
Approximately 10% of American adults, according to a survey performed by legal information website FindLaw.com, stated that they have incurred an injury while laboring but did not tell their superiors about it because they feared what might happen as a result. Potential consequences that they believed could take place included being fired, being teased or harassed by their fellow co-workers, as well as not receiving a promotion.
Stephanie Rahlfs, an attorney-editor at FindLaw.com, indicated that this is a trend that many businessowners need to be concerned about.
"Federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against an employee because the employee reports an injury or illness, and many states have laws that specifically prohibit employers from retaliating against workers who file for or receive workers' compensation benefits," said Rahlfs.
Additionally, she advised entrepreneurs that if they have any type of incentive system wherein employees are given financial or other types of rewards for not reporting an injury while on the job, they could be penalized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is an arm of the U.S. Labor Department.
"If a worker is injured on the job, they should immediately notify a supervisor, and if appropriate, a union safety representative," said Rahlfs.
Most of the accidents that went unreported were slips and falls, the FindLaw.com survey revealed. OSHA statistics, as well as data from the National Safety Council, has shown that workers' compensation insurance claims have largely been filed for these same types of injuries that occur in work-related environments.

i think i am crazy
I don't think you're crazy, I was part of a large family, as was my was my husband - we love having our home filled with a big family and all that it brings! We just conceived, this will be the second for myself and as a blended family our fourth. I had my IUD removed about three years ago, I miscarried the unitentional pregnancy that followed early on, and other than a brief spotting scare at six weeks, this seems to be a normal and healthy pregnancy thus far... Wishing you the very best of luck!

March 18, 2007 - Atari tried to pull a fast-one on unsuspecting gamers, announcing a few revisions to their upcoming release schedule for the first and second quarter of 2007. Of these, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has made another jump away from retail release - originally slotted for release on April 1.
According to the latest release schedule, Portable Ops is now due on June 7, 2007. This further delay will undoubtedly come as sour news for fans of the series awaiting a 'true' fully-fledged installment for the PSP. Hang in there - we feel your pain.

November 26, 2015
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Las Vegas prosecutor in charge of the case against O.J. Simpson has played a tape in which the former football star is heard barking orders during a confrontation with sports memorabilia collectors.
Prosecutor Chris Owens, in his opening statement to the jury, said the panel will learn over the next few days what he calls "the true face" of O.J. Simpson.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, is expected to argue that his client was in the hotel room to recover his own property and that he didn't know that other men in his group were armed.
Simpson and a co-defendant have pleaded not guilty to 12 charges including kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy.

College notebook: BCS replaced by College Football Playoff
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Bowl Championship Series will be replaced by the College Football Playoff.
A person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press the new four-team playoff starting after the 2014 regular season will be called the College Football Playoff, and the conference commissioners made it official Tuesday.
BCS executive director Bill Hancock, who will have the same position in the playoff system, said the goal was to have a simple and descriptive name.
The new postseason format will create two national semifinals to be played New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, with the winners advancing. The six bowls in the playoff rotation will host marquee, BCS-type games on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day during the seasons they don't host a semifinal.
Three semifinal spots already have been decided: the Rose, Orange and Sugar bowls.
Four other bowls have bid for the final three spots. The clear front-runners are the Cotton, Chick-fil-A and Fiesta. The Holiday Bowl also put in a bid, but even its organizers have acknowledged they are a long shot to land the game.
Those decisions will be announced Wednesday.
The site of the first national championship game in the new system also will be determined, and the finalists are Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
Davie gets extension
New Mexico and football coach Bob Davie agreed on a two-year contract extension.
The school announced the new seven-year agreement will run through the 2019 season.
New Mexico said the financial terms from the Sewickley native's original contract remain unchanged.
Davie, a former Notre Dame coach, signed a six-year, $4.5 million contract in late 2011.
Syracuse ball boys want lawsuit reinstated
Two former Syracuse basketball ball boys are asking a judge to reinstate their slander lawsuit against the school and coach Jim Boeheim.
Attorneys for Bobby Davis and Mike Lang filed a 54-page brief with the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court in Rochester in March.
State Supreme Court Justice Brian DeJoseph threw out the lawsuit in May, ruling that comments made by Boeheim after assistant coach Bernie Fine was fired weren't statements of fact but were opinions that are protected from defamation lawsuits.
