I'm in!
I'm in and up for anything. I'm going to FL Feb 8 so I need to look good in a swimsuit.
I too hope to be over the flu by Monday and able to exercise. I wanted to do the 30DS challenge but missed that being sick.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
-Eleanor Roosevlet
lol The title of this thread made me laugh because it is going to take me way longer than 30 days to look good naked. I have exercise goals and weight loss goals, so whatever you choose, I am in.

Katie - Your title cracked me up. I'm in! I'd love to be 145 by Valentine's day.... A lingere treat sounds like a good NSV reward!
After losing 75 pounds, I'm sharing tips, tricks, before & after pics: www.justadotnotalot.com
I'm in!
Put me down for 10 lbs by feb 14th.
I really could use some new undies! lol (IDK if they count as lingere!)

My goal is to maintain. I'm on maintenance, but I'm still kind of paranoid about gaining the weight back (even though I didn't gain over the holidays!). My NSV goal will be to do yoga 3x per week. I've been really lax about regular activity since I lost the weight, and I need to step it up a bit, even though winter just makes me want to crawl into a hole somewhere and sleep until June.
Mommy to H (2011), ASD, and A (2014)
I'm in! My goal is to get back to 155 by V-Day. Sitting at an even 160 and up 4 lbs from 2 weeks ago. Gotta get back to the grind!

That's just one opinion, not a consensus. And most of the people complaining about me are the ones doing exactly what I described in my first post in this thread.
You believe your posts are better than mine and that is just your opinion.
A post is just a post - an expression. But you get so angry because of your lack of understanding.

Whatever your opinion of the world is your opinion of yourself and whatever you deem unworthy of appreciation is what becomes and unworthiness in you.
You have to accept the bad. But the good outweighs the bad. So its okay. Accept all of it. You will still be individually imperfect as you always have been, but you will be greater, more truthful, and happier. Great things will happen in our life and your struggles will be reduced.

This happens in the bright and dim modes? If so, it may be a high resistance in the ground of the left head light. The ground is beside the battery on the left fender. I would clean that ground and make sure it is clean and tight.
As crazy as it sounds, the only thing I can figure, is that maybe the left headlight circuit has a higer than normal resistance. When the altenator power is not under a heavy load, the light can pull enough current to work ok. But under a load, the higher resistance wins out and causes the light to dim.
I am just guessing here, but try and make sure the light has a good ground, and then maybe have the altenator checked to see if it isworking properly.

A darkroom without running water works, but it's a compromise. If you have running water across the hall, I'd find a way to get warm and cold water, including drainage, into the darkroom. Maybe, it's not the highest priority, but I wouldn't want to be without it for long.

I just want to say THANKS to everyone for your input. If I was to put it in my basement I would only have 6' of headroom with exposed pipes and I'm 6'3" so ouch!!!! LOL
I don't mind using the other method for my E-6 work because if I do my job correctly at the camera I don't need to do much to it before printing. For B&W it just feels wrong. I have gotten nice results BUT it takes way to much of my time and I'm not really into PS even though I own it.

I've used a darkroom without running water for a while - but I won't lie to you - running water is MUCH more convenient and most of all: saves time. It also becomes more important once you start focusing on local bleaching (although you could still do this elsewhere) and really helps when it comes to cleaning trays and the like after a session. The drudgery of carrying water and trays back and forth tends to get to people after a while.
What are your adjacent rooms? If the bathroom is adjacent or sharing a wall - you can gain access to the hot/cold water supply and tee from there. Most hot/cold supplies are 1/2" or 3/4" copper routed through walls or routed under a crawl space and then vertically run to a fixture. The point being that if you can find them, you can use them.
I'm a licensed Carpenter in MA so I was already thinking of running pipes through my attic and use a reverse type flush system! LOL Don't get me started because in my line of work we like to say "sure you can have it, it's only $$$$" LOL
I have had temporary darkrooms (bathrooms) with running water, and now I have a permanent room without. While fully plumbed hot and cold with drainage would be nice, the permanent space is more valuable. My sink drain drops into a large bucket. For water I bring in a large container with a tap. As long as the volume I bring in does not exceed the capacity of the sump bucket, I'll have dry feet 8-) I do major washing of film and prints in the laundry area of the house where there is a sink and print washer. The print drying racks are in the darkroom.
Putting in water and a drain would be difficult for my setup. If I did a lot of work the need would offset the issues. It is a balance that will be different for everyone.
I feel, therefore I photograph.
Water doesn't run, it trickles. Seriously though I have had no running water in my darkroom for ages and it doesn't bother me. A few buckets and a little lifting is all it takes. Film/prints are washed in the kitchen.

I don't know how much you know copper, or if you use it, but I didn't know how to work with copper before and took it upon myself to learn it in order to setup a sink. I'm glad I learned. It's not that difficult and if access isn't a hassle it's usually only moderately difficult to run another supply leg somewhere else. Drain is another thing to worry about, but as long as you don't mind holesawing around through the walls you'll probably be fine. ;-)
Stop worrying about grain, resolution, sharpness, and everything else that doesn't have a damn thing to do with substance.
I was just kind of joking about running pipes through the attic. I could do it for reasonable $$ but it would be more than necessary. Plus I already have a long list of more important things that need to get done to the house first :rolleyes:
Having had dark rooms with and without running water I will agree that running water is a convience. The biggest difference I found is that setup & cleanup is much much easier with running water.
I will say that not having the convenience of running water teaches you to be "lean and mean" with your workflow.
I have to remember to bring in water before I need it. I have to remember to empty my slop bucket before it gets full. If I don't I'll have to stop everything and go do it, wasting time in the process.
When I develop film in the laundry room, I get all my stuff ready and measure out all my chems into plastic containers and carry it all to the sink in a plastic tray. I get my water up to temperature and temper my developer. I set my timer, I do my thing and it all works out great unless I forget something and I have to run back to the darkroom to get it. Then I have to hurry because, I might miss my next agitation time.
On the other hand, when I'm on my game, I can have EVERYTHING cleaned up and put away before I am ready to hang the film up to dry. While the film is in the fixer, I can rinse out my plastic containers and put them in the drying rack. When the film is in the final rinse cycle, I can put away all my thermometers and utensils. By the time the film is hung up, all I have to do is rinse the Photo-Flo out of my reels and I'm finished. I can literally be turning off the lights and shutting the door 5 minutes after my film comes out of the rinse.
If I ever do get water inside the darkroom I will be a lean, mean film-developing machine!

That's the biggest issue in my eyes - the time lost to setup and teardown and just getting nickled and dimed by things requiring easily accessible water. The time wasting starts to add up.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — On a day where Des Moines police insist dozens of known gangs are operating within the city, Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman said there may be criminal activity in town involving groups of young people but no organized gangs.
"Are there gangs in Cedar Rapids?" Jerman asked rhetorically during an interview on Wednesday. "If you use the criminal definition of a gang … yes. There are groups of people, three or more, who engage in some sort of criminal activity. Are there organized criminal gangs within the city? No, not that we've been able to determine."
KCCI-TV in Des Moines reported on Wednesday that "more than 30 known gangs" do operate in Des Moines, tagging their territory through graffiti.
Yet, in a year with seven homicide victims in Cedar Rapids so far in 2014, Jerman said their findings are not a formal gang operation within the city but on pockets of younger adults in criminal behavior.
"There are groups of young adults that do hang around together and are engaged in criminal activity," said Jerman. "Does that make them qualify as an organized gang? I don't think so."
In February 2014, a large fight at Lindale Mall in Cedar Rapids was recorded with cellphone video. Upon its release and the subsequent arrests, speculation flowed if gangs were involved.
Jerman said two of the city's recent homicide cases involving younger victims, the 2012 shooting of Latasha Roundtree, 19, and the April 2014 shooting deaths of Quintrell Perkins, 22, and Sierrah Simmons, 20, in a house in the 1700 block of Fourth Avenue SE were not due to organized gang activity.
Local police do have extra support for combating violent criminal activity. In June 2009, the Cedar Rapids Safe Streets Task Force formed, through police, the FBI and the Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services.
"Our focus is on violent criminal enterprises but we also investigative individual violent crimes which violate federal statutes to include bank robberies," said FBI Special Agent Thomas Metz, who is based in the FBI Omaha office. Metz added that the task force is housed in their facility in Hiawatha.
Amid an active year for detectives in Cedar Rapids, Jerman said tracking weapons and those who cannot possess them legally remains a constant concern.
"Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in the gun violence this year and it has renewed our resolve to address and combat this crime."

As much of a vent/rant as this post may come off as, I am looking for some insight into the infamous "top of the foot pain"/middle metatarsal/ runner's curse stress fracture. This is the second time I've gotten it, in the exact same spot. (Maybe not the exact same spot, from my knowledge on bone healing physiology, but you get the idea).
The first time it popped up was a couple years ago from running way too far too soon in my Vibrams (i was still in the process of working my mileage up in "minimal" footwear). This time, it was more of a random injury. I wasn't going too far, too fast, too soon, or too anything. It just stopped by to say hello. I think I caught it very early (no severe pain, swelling, bruising, etc), and for the past week I've been resting, icing, compressing, elevating, and downing buckets of almond milk for good measure. The area is still tender when I walk on it, but in just one week it's made progress.
So the point of this post is twofold, emphasis from runners who have dealt with this injury before:
Any tips on prevention/recovery? Xbox, books, TV, and the almost daily trips to the overpriced overcrowded public pool are not cutting it for me; I need someone to show me that the light at the end of the tunnel is nearing.
Weight train. Do seated exercises with free weights or on machines. Get on the floor and work your core. There are tons of options. I have been dealing with a stress fracture in my heel for 22 months! Yes, that is 22 months, as in almost 2 years. I'm stronger and leaner now than I was prior to the injury. Do I miss running? Yes, of course. Would I still be sidelined if I actually fully rested it, no. But I have been pushing it with biking, extended walks which have only been 20-60mins, and other stupid activities hoping that the magic day would come where is was pain free. My job requires me to be on my feet and it's quite physical. However, I could and should be wearing the boot more frequently, but I don't. Moral to the story, REST!!! and be patient. Don't be an idiot like me. I give all sorts of advice on this site, but I don't listen to my own ... That said, you can safely weight train if you are smart about it. No squats, no leg press, no carrying heavy weights to and from chairs/benches, no jumping, lunging, etc. Minimize any and all stress on that met and you will heal. I'd wear a stiff soled shoe for a while, too. Maybe pull out some crutches for a few weeks. And when you return, come back very very slowly. I had a two month window last year at this time where I was running again, but I ramped up too quickly and promptly got myself back to ground zero, as in zero miles and have not run a single step since. It sucks, but you will heal. Just be smart about it. You can't rush physiology.
A bone stimulator will accelerate healing. They're expensive as stink if your health insurance doesn't cover it though.
Were you having any specific problems before switching to minimalist shoes? If not, then would you consider going back to "standard" or at least cushioned running shoes instead of minimalist shoes after this episode has passed? And as unpopular as they may be in running circles right now, orthotics have been shown to be effective in preventing stress injuries in military recruits.
Ah, not really. I have used one off and on the entire time, often times, twice a day. This was typically during period of very good compliance. I saw no change at all. I think the best option now days outside of complete rest is a class IV laser, such a K Laser. I have used that upwards of five x's wk and it does seem helpful.
Megan, saying something is effective or not based on what happened to one person (in this case, you) is anecdote rather than evidence. I know you know that.
Actually we don't know if the OP's situation right now is even a stress fracture. Early onset TOFP without edema or ecchymosis is probably just stress reaction at most, so yeah, bone stim would probably be excessive for him. Certain insurance companies do cover the devices so the out-of-pocket cost varies, and if I'm paying for insurance and I have a fresh fracture that might heal even 30% more quickly and the device is covered then I'll take the stimulator.
My point was that the right device under the right circumstances will accelerate healing. Of course not all devices are the same, not all people are the same, not all injuries are the same. Sorry it didn't work for you. My comment was directed more at you than at him because 22 months of stress fracture is outrageous. Something has gone awry somewhere in the diagnosis/treatment/rehab process. I wasn't aware that you had used a bone stim already and was putting it out there in case you hadn't considered it. Just trying to be helpful. Which device was it? Smith & Nephew's?
I'd like to hear from the OP why he started running in Vibrams in the first place. Was it to help with previous injuries, was it because it seemed conceptually "right," or was there some other reason?
Yes, Smith and Nephew. And no incorrect dx for me: five x-rays over the course ... I'm on my foot daily and too much. It's really my fault in that I continue to aggravate it.
I'm with you MeganZe b/c I'm at 16 mo with stress fracture at base of 2nd met. Mine is tricky b/c I can walk and walk downstairs without pain. I was diagnosed with MRI as "probably healed." But obviously its not. Mine is more like an ache that throbs when i do too much. I got to the point of having no pain and thought for sure it was finally healed and this week I started running again and the ache came back. Honestly I can only blame myself for not letting it heal. Good luck!
Phew, lots of questions I need to answer in here. I'll start with Toecutter since he asked a lot of things that I left out...
My "stress fracture" is indeed a self-diagnosis. I say this with full understanding that I am not a medical professional, and I'm strictly going based off of websites, forums, and previous experience. I also diagnosis it as a minor stress fracture due in part to my hesitation on using "top of the foot pain" as legitimate medical terminology. I think the lack of edema or other identifying symptoms is simply from not being an extensive injury. I've had this same pain in the same location before, and after a few weeks of rest it took care of itself.
I do not run the majority of my runs in Vibrams. I try to vary my shoe use - I'm currently rotating between Altra's and Skora's for the majority of my runs (both are zero-drop from heel to toe, with little support, but much more cushioning than fivefingers), and I sprinkle in some NB minimus & vibrams. I've only worked my way up to ~5 milers comfortably with the vibrams. The reason I began running with less support is mainly the "conceptually right" train of thought, but after a few years (3 or 4, not really counting), I've noticed every single one of my "normal" running injuries (knees, shin splints, hips, etc etc) have vanished. EXCEPT the annoying pain in my 3rd metatarsal (granted this is only the 2nd time this has popped up, but it seemed odd that it was the exact same location).
On that note, I think all of this talk about bone lasers and such are way too involved for my injury. I can already walk normally again (7 days after the initial injury). It's still tender but I'm surprised at how quickly it's progressing. I'll more than likely give it a week or so after I'm 100% pain free just to be safe...
Also, in response to the question "would I consider going back to traditional shoes?", I would wholeheartedly say absolutely not. I'll take 1 stress fracture every couple of years in place of the constant juggling of knee pain, hip pain, shin splints, sore muscles, long recovery times, etc etc etc etc...
Fair enough. I was wondering if you had injuries before going minimalist and that answers my question. I wonder what would happen if you ran in the more cushioned Altras and Skoras but didn't run in the Minimus or Vibrams? The shoe industry seems to be headed in that direction.
I've read that eating pineapple can be helpful. http://www.livestrong.com/arti...ligaments-and-bones/
This is exactly like mine. Nearly unnoticeable, but if I do too much, like walk six blocks, it tells me it's not 100%. It's extremely frustrating!!!!
My ultimate goal (no time frame set) is to run a marathon completely barefoot. I'm not sure how long it'll take to build my supporting muscles to that extent, but I'm working on it. Another ultimate goal is to run an ultramarathon wearing only vibrams.
Like I said in my original post, this is mostly my venting from the fact that I'm becoming increasingly bored and antsy being held back from running during my recovery. This "stress fracture" isn't recurring enough to warrant huge concern, heck I haven't even seen a doctor yet, and I don't plan on it. It's just strange that the SAME pain in the SAME location came back (granted a year or so later).
That's wild that your injury is taking so long to recover. Have you explored any possibilities of your bone healing incorrectly (imagine a broken bone healing without the aid of a cast or rods/screws) or even a tendon/ligament healing issue?
The folks on the Barefoot forum will tell you to lose the shoes altogether right now if that's your goal (not that I'm telling you to do that, but the diehard BFers say that even Vibrams attenuate ground feel too much and lead to poor form then TOFP).
Hi All,
I had a stress fracture last year on my left foot, second metatarsal. It took 3 months completly off from running. Even biking was too much during the first month. My body gave me about 3 weeks of warning pain that I ignored before it finally cracked.
The cause was too much too sone with TEVA sandals ( the minimalist ones).
What I remember from that episode was that my feet was tapping the ground too much. Now I make sure that my feet make no sound when landing. Also both my sandals and working shoes had too much foot print deep in the sole, so I changed them as soon as I can feel the bumps with my fingers.
I also had Achilles Tendons problems, twice, but that's another topic.
It's bone and only bone and it's a stress fracture. I'm not giving it enough time to rest. It's simple as that.
I gave BFR a whirl but in the end I decided that I enjoy trail running more than the act/idea of being barefoot while trail running. In traditional shoes I got shin splints but in minimalist shoes I got TOFP and PT tendinitis. Skin-to-ground barefoot I just got bored because of how cautious I had to be on my runs, then I got annoyed that I was focusing more on my feet than on the great outdoors.
The closest thing to a magic bullet for me has been a low drop shoe with a "normal" amount of cushioning when running (Brooks Pure, Pearl Izumi E:motion), and a minimalist casual shoe (Lems, Altra) at work and around town. I have no more problems at this point; I'm just having a good time running.
Good luck with your issue!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
Why might your site show a toolbar PageRank without backlinks? There are many factors that count, backlinks are only part of the equation.
There are also backlinks that can hurt you. Those from link farms and unrelated sites count against you.
Not to sure about this one, I was thinking that these links are found and just "not count" towards a website ranking factor. However who YOU link to does have implications and can hurt / help your website.
I doubt if any links can hurt. At most, they get disregarded. However, you really do want to be associated with the top sites in your content niche, if possible (good neighborhoods). Association with link farms and other schemes (bad neighborhoods) can mean a lot worse than disregarded links.
.....I discovered (through the kind contributors here at WebmasterWorld - that a link: search doesn't show all the links.
Other techniques I've found for finding who links to you are checking alexa.com (not so reliable, but gives some info), and also searching on google for variants on your company and domain name ie "www.yourdomain.com" search on google shows search results where this string is present on the page where if you remove the quotes google just takes you to the site. Hope that helps some...

|An Evaluation of photo CD's resolving power in scanning various-speed films for archival purposes
|Sanders, Jennifer
|While the advantages of digital archiving are numerous, the process has been slow to be implemented because of several limitations, particularly high costs. Photo CD shows great promise as a technology for archiving not only because of its cost- effectiveness, but also its speed, multi- resolution format, and efficient compression. Organizations that are beginning to construct digital archives of their resources are doing so to the tune of several million images. When archiving such large quantities of images, one wants to anticipate as many future uses as possible to avoid further scanning costs. Of all potential uses for an archived image, printing on coated stock with a fine line-screen will have among the highest resolution requirements. Although the Photo CD master format offers much flexibility, there is some concern that the format does not provide enough resolution for commercial-grade printing, especially at greater enlargement percentages. In these cases, better results may be achieved with Pro Photo CD, which is more expensive and much slower, but provides four times as much resolution as the master Photo CD. However, simply having more resolution does not necessarily translate into improved image quality. The benefit of the added resolution is likely dependent on the speed of the film and whether there really is more information in the emulsion to be captured. For films above a certain speed, the graininess of the film may offset the extra resolution provided by Pro Photo CD, and no improvement in image quality will be gained. The film speed at which this would occur is currently unknown. Testing the scan quality of various film speeds at 16*base and 64*base can help define the boundary of when Pro Photo CD offers a real advantage, if any, for archiving 35mm film. The findings would supply some guidelines for organizations faced with making decisions about how to use Photo CD most appropriately for archival purposes. To this end, three films of varying speeds and resolving powers were chosen: Ektachrome Lumiere 100, Ektachrome Professional 100 and Ektachrome Elite 200. Two test objects were obtained: an RIT alphanumeric resolution target and a continuous tone photograph containing objects with fine detail. Scans of these chromes were made with both Photo CD and Pro Photo CD scanners. An objective analysis was made by observing the smallest levels resolved on the resolution target for each of the films at both the 16*base and the 64*base resolutions. A subjective analysis was conducted by a panel of respondents making pairedcomparison judgments of image quality for the continuous tone test images. It was hypothesized that differences between the 16*base scan and the 64*base scan would be detected only with the Ektachrome Lumiere 100 film in both the objective and subjective analyses. No differences were expected between the two resolutions for the other two films. This is because it was theorized that the added noise introduced by the higher grain of the faster films would offset the extra resolution provided by the 64*base scan. The results did not concur with the given hypothesis. Instead, differences were noted for all of the tested films in both the objective and subjective evaluations. The data from the alphanumeric resolution target shows an improvement in resolving power with the 64*base resolution for all three films tested. In the subjective test, an increase was also observed in the large enlargement of the Professional 100 and the Elite 200 films. Both of these indicate that none of the films tested contained enough noise to offset the benefit of the added resolution. It should be noted that the differences observed were slight. In terms of recommendations for choosing among Photo CD options for digital archives, the following guidelines can be concluded. All films with speeds of 100 or less will see some, though slight, added benefit from the extra resolution provided by Pro Photo CD. Films with an ISO speed rating of 200 that use fine- grain technology, such as Kodak's TGRAIN, will also see benefit from added resolution. However, in either case the benefit does not seem to subjectively matter unless the image is enlarged beyond the standard dimensional limits of 16*base. Thus, unless large-format reproduction of archived images is likely, Pro Photo CD scans are not necessary.

The Politics of Money: Haiti and the Left
Engler, Yves, Canadian Dimension
Since the U.S.-backed overthrow of progressive Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the severe level of political repression launched by the new government has left tens of thousands of Lavalas (Aristide's political party) supporters the victims of rapes, incarcerations, firings and murders. One tragic aspect of this story is the extent to which Canadian federal government money has been able to buy the support of supposedly progressive organizations and individuals. Today they continue to align themselves with Canada's brutal pro-coup policy.
In September, 2003, for example, Rights and Democracy, a Montreal-based NGO whose money comes from the federal government and which was formerly headed by the NDP's Ed Broadbent, released a report on Haiti. The report described Haiti's pro-coup Group of 184 as "grassroots" and a "promising civil society movement." The group says this even though the Group of 184 is funded by the International Republican Institute and is headed by the country's leading sweatshop owner, Andy Apaid. Apaid has been active in right-wing Haitian politics for many years, and, like G-184 spokesperson Charles Henry Baker himself, is white.
Moreover, several Quebec unions that received hundreds of thousands of CIDA dollars for work in Haiti through the Centre International de Solidarite Ouvriere (CISO) passed resolutions condemning Aristide's alleged anti-union activities. The FTQ and CSQ union federations and a half dozen NGOS are part of an informal group known as the Concertation Pour Haiti (CPH). Prior to the coup, they branded Aristide a "tyrant" and his government a "dictatorship" and a "regime of terror." In mid-February, 2004, CPH representatives told the Canadian Press, "We think there will not be a solution without Aristide leaving." This demand was made at the same time CIA-trained thugs swept across the country to depose Aristide.
Since Aristide's overthrow, these same Quebec unions have failed to criticize the installed government for its far more severe harassment of unionists. Last October, for example, Lulu Cherie, head of Haiti's CTH union, had his life threatened by the Haitian Police. No unions in Quebec have said anything about this or about numerous other post-coup affronts to union activity. In addition, Quebec unions also worked to dilute an anti-coup resolution proposed by a number of English-Canadian unions to the Canadian Labour Congress convention held in Montreal in June.
The CPH's antagonism towards Lavalas isn't merely a by-product of the political upheaval of February. In October, 2004--after months of widespread political repression directed at Lavalas sympathizers--the CPH released a statement blaming the victims. The CPH repeated the claim first made by Haiti's ruling elite and ultra-right that Lavalas launched an "operation Baghdad," which included beheading police officers. Numerous observers have noted that "Operation Baghdad" is simply pro-coup propaganda designed to divert attention from the de facto government's misdeeds, particularly the murder of at least five peaceful, pro-constitution demonstrators on September 30, 2004.
In April, 2005, the CPH organized a delegation from Haiti to Montreal and Ottawa. Yolene Gilles, one of the speakers invited by the CPH, is the coordinator of the "human rights" monitoring program at the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH), formerly known as NCHR-Haiti, which is funded by CIDA. This organization changed its name in mid-March, 2005, after its parent group in the U.S., itself pro-coup, condemned the blatantly partisan work of NCHR-Haiti regarding the imprisonment of constitutional Prime Minister Yvon Neptune. …

Gore Vidal. (AP Photo/file)
Victor Navasky tells one of the most revealing stories about Gore Vidal, who died July 31 in Los Angeles at age 86. In 1986, Gore wrote an essay for the magazine's 120th anniversary issue. Shortly after it was published, Victor was invited to lunch by the publisher of Penthouse magazine, Bob Guccione, at his East Side townhouse, famous for its $200 million art collection. "We had barely consumed the amuse gueules when Bob asked me how much it cost to get Gore Vidal to write his essay," Victor recalled. "When I told him we had paid each contributor to that issue $25 and Gore got the same $25 that everyone else got, he almost choked on his Chateau Margaux and told me he had offered Vidal $50,000 to write an article for Penthouse and Vidal declined."
Gore, who had accepted Victor's invitation to join the magazine in 1981 as a contributing editor, published forty-one articles in The Nation at those rates. Some of his most memorable quotes appeared in The Nation: "We are the United States of Amnesia," he wrote in 2004. "We learn nothing because we remember nothing." In that same essay he called the US a place where "the withered Bill of Rights, like a dead trumpet vine, clings to our pseudo-Roman columns."
Gore was a great talker as well as a great writer, and I interviewed him many times—in front of live audiences, on the radio and for print—and in many places. The most memorable was at his legendary cliffside house in Ravello, on the Amalfi coast of Italy, where lots of people visited him. We arrived a few days after historian Eric Foner departed; he told me his daughter had played in Gore's famous swimming pool with the children of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Gore sent my wife to sit by the pool with Howard Austen, his lifelong partner—she had a wonderful time with Howard—while Gore talked about his life and work in the deep shadows of his downstairs study.
In that interview, for the Radical History Review, Gore described his campaign to introduce the term "American empire" into the political discourse—and, later, the concept of "the national security state"—both of which were firmly rejected at the time by establishment thinkers. Indeed much of his writing for The Nation was devoted to elucidating those two ideas—and empire was also the theme with his six-volume series of historical novels "Narratives of Empire," which included number-one bestsellers Burr (1973) and Lincoln (1984).
In that interview he also talked about his transformation from right to left, his path to The Nation. In the beginning he had opposed US entry into WWII. "My radicalization begins in 1948 with The City and the Pillar," he said—one of the first American novels about a gay man—with the "rough" treatment it received in the New York Times. Next, he said, came the Hollywood blacklist—he was working in Hollywood, and although never a Party member, was "horrified" to see his friends banned from the industry. The third step came in 1968, when he published the wild sex farce Myra Breckinridge, debated Willliam F. Buckley Jr. on TV during the Democratic National Convention, and then helped found the anti-war New Party, and then the People's Party, which he co-chaired with Benjamin Spock from '68 to '72. Then in 1980 Victor invited him to become a contributing editor, and he promptly accepted.

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
Great tumbler for pod users
I just received my Tumbler today and was very excited to use it right away. I had noticed the awesome metal basket and double glass wall. Beautifully crafted but not practical for loose tea makers. So i will be making another purchase to be able to make loose tea.
Sufficient for the price
I have just received this tumbler this week and have used it three times so far. It is double walled glass with a basket that sits inside the top of the tumbler. The basket itself is very nice quality metal with a little handle and small holes so that less loose tea gets into the beverage while steeping. The lid is fairly air tight, I tipped it over on it's head while full of tea and none came out. That being said the rubber that seals it looks like over time (maybe a year to a half a year) that it will break down and lose some of that air tight/leak proof quality. The box claims that it keeps tea hot for 3 hours but I'm not finding that to be the case. It keeps tea hot for about an hour I'd say and then just warm for the remainder; but for insulated glass that's really not bad. It is safe and pleasant to hold when filled with hot water, not painfully hot to the touch. I think it could have done with a silicone/rubber hand grip to keep it from slipping, I always feel like I may drop it when I am taking it to my car. I will say that it's rather inconvenient that there is no cover that can be put over the tea basket for drinking, you pretty much would want to remove it so wet tea leaves don't fall on your face. Overall this is a convenient way to enjoy my loose tea while not at home. I would recommend it to others.
Love it
I am new to tea and took a chance on a new type of tumbler. I use it everyday and I love the way it infuses teas. I use loose leaf as well as sachets. This tumbler infuses very well and keeps tea nice and hot. I just love iy.

I still don't think this will work but I hope it does.
I think you're right. They should let it surface and let the skimmers pick it up. Who knows where it will finally surface using this dispersant.

I can't believe they are still using that dispersant. That's what's making all the oil stay below the surface, and breaks it up into small pieces so that all the sea life breath it and then die.
Who the hell is in charge? BP, or the EPA?

Hi Everyone
In first post I would like to introduce myself. I'm Marek Latuskiewicz and I'm a development Lead in the team dealing (among other things) with Silverlight Visualizations for various types of data.
Why am I starting this blog?
The reason is I've notice that many programmers (especially without WPF background) when first writing Silverlight code are at lost and still many areas don't have well defined design patterns.
In my blog I'm going to post two types of entries
· Ready to take architectural solutions for certain problems. These shall be as simple and as generic as possible. Always with working code
· Short posts about certain aspects of Silverlight / C# programming
So what's coming next?
In this week I post the part number one (of two) "How to create animated panels in Silverlight 2 and 3".
I'm going to post once a week (unless on vacations ;)).

The 60-minute informational webinar will teach viewers exactly why a receptionist would better survive a million dollar lawsuit than his/her employer, and how taking steps to protect assets now, rather than later, is the single greatest thing a dentist can do to positively affect the practice's bottom line. There will also be a live Q&A session after the webinar.
During the webinar, viewers will learn:
• How to protect everything they own (including properties, savings, and their business)
• How to make themselves a NO-GO collection target for attorneys
• Which assets they own that are already protected, and which aren't
• And more
"This is a scary time to be an employer. Plaintiffs have access to some of the nation's most aggressive and motivated attorneys for FREE, and almost anyone can file a lawsuit against you with little more than a vague statement of what he/she thinks you have done wrong. During the webinar, we'll teach you how to protect your assets against a lawsuit, and not only survive, but thrive, during the process," said Douglass Lodmell, Managing Partner of Lodmell & Lodmell.
To register for the free webinar, please visit www.lodmell.com/

Indutrade Rises as SEB Says Profit to Increase: Stockholm Mover
Indutrade AB, a Swedish maker of engineering and industrial components, is set to reach its highest price ever in Stockholm trading after SEB AB raised its share price estimate because of an expected gain in earnings.
The stock rose 7 kronor, or 3.1 percent, to 236.5 kronor at 11:36 a.m. local time, rising for a third day. A closing at that level would mark the shares' highest closing price since they started trading in 2005, giving the company a market value of 9.5 billion kronor ($1.46 billion). Stockholm, Sweden-based Indutrade's shares have gained 20 percent so far this year.
SEB raised its price estimate on Indutrade to 269 kronor from 253 kronor and reiterated its buy rating, saying the investment case "remains strong," according to a note to clients today. The bank raised its estimate for the margin of earnings before interest, taxes and amortization by 50 basis points for 2013 and 30 basis points for 2014 and 2015.
"Indutrade has a strong track-record in making successful acquisitions, which we expect to continue," SEB said. "We view Indutrade a quality name in the industrial sales sector with high return on equity, good diversification in terms of sector sales exposures and a strong acquisition track record."
The company yesterday reported an increase in second-quarter profit of 12 percent to 156 million kronor, while sales rose 6.2 percent to 2.28 billion kronor.

Today I became an owner and joined the growing legions of the supremely lucky that have the pleasure ad privilege to drive a Tesla Model S.
This isn't a car, it's a religious experience (and I'm an atheist...)
Here're a few photos...
You know when you're close to Tesla Service Centre as the test cars are parked on the street:
Beautiful, eh? The car's not bad either:
First stop, Ikea:
Showed-up on iPhone app within the hour:
First test of the charging infrastructure and it works! (no neutral here in Belgium, so we have to buy an expensive box to fool the car):
Not the fastest, but my average daily miles are low, so this is just fine for me:
Welcome...finally. ;-)
Grin. :-)
That's great. You beat me by one day to the paradise.
Very nice, sharp looking car, congratulations.
Congratulations! Enjoy it immensely!
Good for you, congrats! (from a fellow atheist)
Great car, but must you shop at Ikea? (just kidding, we are right now redoing our 3 bathrooms with Ikea help, and most everything in our house is also Ikea, albeit, a lot of it IS falling apart after 10 years!)
Very, very nice!
Congratulations! It's dinner time here, and your joy is palpable. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Xanadu! Don't forget to listen to Villa La Strangiato and YYZ!
And, of course 2112... Congratulations!
Darn it. Now I have an ear worm.
Sounds like you're having a howling good time. Congrats!!!
Welcome to the family! She is a real beauty :)
That song played in my MS today when I was listening to the Rush channel on Slacker!
Hope you are not the "Mad Immortal Man"....
Hungry has proved to be a good sauce. Now: beware of the indigestion for Tesla bites as a virus.
And regarding your religious experience: if you have to see the Light, I 'm happy for you it's the Electric Light you' ve seen.
Now you can start singing in the choir of their Orchestra about your car as an Evil Woman. ;-)
Congratulations! Welcome to the club.
You will be looking for any reason to drive now. After a year my wife knows I am still always happy to run an errand when needed. Any drive is in a Tesla is one of life's pleasures.
Love practice in traffic. No brakes. Gilde . . . Enjoy.
Are you Billy Joe's brother? I thought werewolves were allergic to silver bullets...
Cheers, Dave! Welcome to the club. Finally! :-)
ps: Don't say "no neutral here in Belgium", because it simply depends on your location. I have a neutral and I also live in Belgium.
You're one of the "chosen", Chris :-)
Really, this car is amazing. Obviously I'm still in the discovery phase and it just gets better every time I step into it.
Apparently, my car didn't actually arrive from Tilburg until 14:30 yesterday afternoon and my collection was at 16:00 - so they didn't have a lot of time to make it as shiny as it could be. However I don't care as it's going for Opti Coat Pro on Wednesday.
They also didn't have time to install 5.9, but they set it ready to download: I did that after my first charge and it was sitting there waiting for me this morning. The hill-assist is just great. I also turned creep off now and the car is much nicer with the one-foot driving.
Voice recognition works incredibly well, shame Apple's Siri isn't this good. The hands-free is superb and the Rdio amazingly excellent -> my daughter was amazed when I told the car "play One Direction" and voilà, there it was. Not my taste I hasten to add!
So, so good...
Congratulations!!! Enjoy the ride. Your life has changed this point onward. Welcome to the cult.. Sorry club !!!!
Kids like it very, very much. They keep saying they have "the coolest car in the world":
Can you believe it, Ikea once more, however this time I got the free charging working - grabbed 120kms for free while we bought more crap:
Watching from the Ikea rest while people admire:
And back home, with 456kms in the tank still:
Congrats and love the photo of the person taking a photo of your car.
Werewolf-like rock star status! :-)
Had ours for a year and a half and we still adore it, but alas, the mystique is gone now that there are so many S's around northern California…current joke is a Tesla is the Menlo Park Prius….that's the home of the VC community and Silicon Valley bedroom community!
Nice sunny weather in Belgium, too! Double congrats!
Your beautiful children are correct. The Tesla is the coolest car in the world and may I add the most advanced.
Hope you and yours have many years of enjoyment !

Upon entering new Contacts and then trying to forward email by entering a
first initial, the "new" contact fails to appear. Previous entries do appear
as before, it is as though the new entry does not exist, yet it is in my
contact list?
the only time I had this problem is when my contacts folder wasn't set-up as
an address book. goto:
Contacts>choose contacts folder>right click on properties>outlook address book
make sure "show this folder" is checked
Entering the first initial where? I suspect you are confusing autoresolution
with autocompleiton. You must provide more complete and accurate information
for us to tell what your problem is.

As in fordwarding an email, normally you can put an initial in the "TO" area
and all contacts with that initial appear, you select which one and it fills
Wrong. You are using autocompletion which has nothing to do with your
Russ Valentine
OK!!!Then why all of a sudden did autocompletion stop working as it had done
in the past? How does one get it to autocomplete?
You never said autocompletion stopped working. You said you were expecting
autocompletion to pick up new Contacts to which you had not yet sent a
message, which obviously is not how it works.
Do you have another question now? Would you care to pose it along with the
relevant troubleshooting details?
