More PowerBook display issues?
updated 08:00 pm EDT, Wed June 6, 2007
PowerBook owners unite
A new wiki site has launched with the hope that Apple will both acknowledge an alleged batch shipment of defective 17-inch 1.67GHz PowerBook G4s and that the Cupertino-based company -- which prides itself on customer service -- will initiate a display repair extension program to fix the problematic notebooks. The wiki claims that hundreds, possibly thousands of Apple customers who purchased 17-inch G4 1.67GHz PowerBooks manufactured at a factory in Shanghai (W8) around March and April of 2005 are experiencing the "Bridget Riley" vertical lines display defect. The problem manifests with one or more one-pixel wide vertical lines spanning the full depth of the display from top to bottom in a variety of colors which include magenta, cyan, yellow, and blue.
The problem predominantly shows up in PowerBook model M9689, while hardware serial numbers of afflicted systems often begin with W85, according to the site.
"Lines begin to appear by flickering, then soon after stabilise into a steady, solid, vertical line. Once one line appears, others are likely to follow at the rate of 1-5 per week. Typical first onset is 12-24 months after purchase."
Owners of suspect PowerBooks can access the hardware serial number by pulling down the Apple menu, selecting "About This Mac," clicking on the "More Info..." button, and locating the serial number in the Hardware Overview panel. PowerBook owners can discover where and when the computer was manufactured by pasting the serial number into a special online service called Chipmunk.
The wiki is aimed at organizing affected PowerBook owners with the hope that Apple will listen and investigate the claims, eventually initiating a free repair program.
A similar movement erupted in early January when numerous PowerBook owners cried out, posting to Apple's own support forums and launching a website to document each case in one centralized location.

Just saying hello. Im still deciding between a Trek DS 8.4 and 8.5 so currently i am riding my 1991 GT Avalanche. Looking forward to learning from everyone!
A little about me, I have always been active all my life, up until 2003 when I hyper-extended my knee and tore my acl. I gained over 80 lbs and was very unhealthy, getting hyper tension and other related problems. 31 weeks ago i decided to stop taking 9 pills a day and started getting fit. 65 lbs less, i am still on my goal to lose another 30 lbs and i feel biking will get me closer to that goal. Im al glad i decided to get back into riding...i loved it when i was doing it. Here are before and after of me.
So, 30 lbs more to go, a great bike for fitness, life is good so far!

Alternate title: Eliza Graves
The loonies really are running the show in "Stonehearst Asylum," a Victorian melodrama in which no one seems quite right in the head. Not the director, Brad Anderson, who can't decide between camp and chills. Not the writer, Joseph Gangemi, whose strung-out adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe short story is padded to the point of suffocation. And not the big-ticket actors — perhaps drawn by the charge of one another's star power — who realize too late that they have stumbled into a lavishly costumed disaster. -- Jeannette Catsoulis

|Drug use and pregnancy
|Klapmust, Kimberly
|Human development is a remarkably complex process whereby the union of two small cells can after a period of time give rise to a new human being, complete with vital organs, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and much more. Considering the intricacy of the developmental process, it is indeed miraculous that most babies are born healthy. Some children, however, are born with abnormalities. Environmental agents, such as drugs, are responsible for some of these abnormalities. Unfortunately, social and therapeutic drugs are widely used among pregnant women. Many commonly used drugs are known to disrupt the normal developmental process and cause a wide range of birth defects, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. This paper will briefly summarize the normal process of human development and the roles of the fetal membranes and the placenta. It will also explain how teratogens can interfere with normal development and cause a variety of congenital abnormalities. In addition, this paper will describe some of the known and suspected teratogenic drugs and their harmful effects on a developing embryo/fetus. Finally, the last portion of the paper will describe the making of the accompanying pamphlet: the conceptual, research, and technical processes behind the final product. The pamphlet was made with the intention of educating expectant mothers about the harmful effects of drug use during pregnancy and lactation. The pamphlet focuses on risks associated with drugs such as alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, heroin, and cocaine, as well as prescription and over-the-counter medications. Many women are not aware of the potential dangers associated with prenatal drug exposure, and some women, although aware of the potential adverse effects of using drugs during pregnancy, have conditions which require medication. Women receiving treatment need to understand the importance of consulting their doctors upon becoming pregnant, or planning to become pregnant, to determine the safest course of action for both themselves and their babies. Also, it is important for women to be aware of the possible risks associated with breastfeeding while taking drugs. Many drugs a mother uses can be transmitted to her breastfed child. Breastfeeding is generally recommended because breastmilk contains numerous substances which defend a newborn against infections, and the act of breastfeeding helps create a bond between mother and child. However, maternal use of certain drugs may require the mother to stop nursing in order to minimize risk to the baby. Further research in the field of teratology and increased public awareness regarding the harmful effects of drugs on a developing fetus promise to significantly reduce the rate of preventable birth defects.

Hey Folks,
So as the subject implies I'm a rank beginner in the world of coins. I'm also a hack when it comes to cards, but that's an entirely different subject. In any event, I'm looking for good starting points for how best to learn, where to start etc. I own a copy of Bobo's NMCM, but I have to admit it's left me reeling. There's so much material in there that I'm having a really hard time figuring a way to digest it all.
So I guess the real question is whether there are some recommendations on how best to approach NMCM? Is there an "easier" routine to focus on that would incorporate some of the basic slights and give you the skills needed to build on? I'm looking to gain enough skill to have a short convincing routing that I can build on as I learn some of the more complex stuff. Anyone have some advice?
Thanks much,

(Reuters) - Groupon Inc
According to an internal memo obtained by Reuters, Chris Muhr, SVP of sales, will now head the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, while Veit Dengler, SVP International, will be leaving the company.
The memo did not give any reason for Dengler's departure. He will be the latest in a slew of executives, including Lee Brown, who oversees national sales, who have left or decided to leave Groupon in recent months.
Fixing its European operations has become an imperative for Groupon after the second-quarter revealed big problems with that business, driving the company's already weak share price even lower.
In addition to the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis and economic slowdown, Groupon offered discounts that were too big, annoying some merchants in the region.
Groupon, one of a crop of consumer Internet companies that debuted on markets with much fanfare in late 2011, has lost more than three quarters of its market value since its initial public offering at $20 with CEO Andrew Mason, a music graduate, pummeled with questions about its ability to sustain revenue growth.
The stock now trades at $4.78.
Muhr hails from Citydeal, a company acquired by Groupon in 2010 as its entry into international markets. Along with Citydeal co-founders Emanuel Stehle, Jens Hutzschenreuter and Rajen Ruparell, he had moved to North America to improve sales in its domestic market ahead of Groupon's IPO.
"We've made great progress in the last few months, but we still have a lot of work to do, particularly in Europe," Groupon's operations chief Kal Raman said in the internal memo.
"While our challenges in Europe are no secret, after spending two weeks there, I am energized by the great team and clear opportunities to improve," he said.

When you try to edit a GPP Policy on the Domain Controller you only see an option for IE 5 / 6 / 7 and 8.
Windows Server 2008 R2 GPP Internet Explorer preference items does not support IE 9. The problem is clear in the debug log as the filter did not pass. The problem is viewable from the XML file
The released version of Internet Explorer 9 is not 184.108.40.206.
The trick is editing the xml and set "max Version=126.96.36.199", anyway, it is not supported.
More information:
What can we do for use this function -GPP+IE9 Settings-?
Will GPP be eventually updated for IE9?
You can do the trick that editing the xml and set "max Version=126.96.36.199", anyway, it is not officially supported.
Do you know approximate date for the "fix"?
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much for the great information. I always love to read more about social media and marketing.
I have my own site. I hope to offer tips as well. Thank you.
good to read
All the fuss from Microsoft back in 2009 about how great Group Policy Preferences are, and they neglect to support their latest browser less than 2 years later. Pretty poor form, Microsoft.
Daniel is 100% right.
Most is supported via group policy settings which apply to most versions. The few settings you may with to tweak can be done via a registry tweak. Problem solved.
InternetSettings xml is found in c:\windows\sysvol\domain\Policies\..\user\Preferences\InternetSettings in windows 2008 R2
I set max value="10.1.0.0" in xml. so that it should reflect IE 10 GPP in internet settings. but nothing works.. still GPP shows up to Internet Explorer 8.
Can you pls tell me what is the workaround for this..?
Thank you.
Thank you for this, especially with your link to the Microsoft hotfix (didn't work for us and also required a reboot which their KB article stated it would not). We'd already deployed our settings via registry as you suggest but your post solidifies our
extreme frustration with Microsoft's new path in ignoring its supporters. The same thing that happened to Blackberry is going to happen to Microsoft.
Same thing here. Applied hotfix and it did require a reboot. The hotfix also did not work. Back to the beginning .
Ok Folks - what is the fix for this! Thie IE stuff and managing this properly in an enterprise is a complete pain
If your domain policy files are for IE 8 or older then you won't see IE 9. You must update your policy files to get access to all of the newer policy settings. This gives domain admins a chance to control the policies that are applied in their environment.
It would be bad of Microsoft to just update these files through updates or something without you having a chance to test and validate your policies against the new files and settings.

Social Media: 6 best practices
Posted by: Howie2.0 on Aug 23, 2011

Social media is like Google's elusive Algorithm which keeps search engine marketers on their toes around the clock. It's a constantly changing and evolving species of technology meshed with 2-way communication channels, audience scope and UGC.
Everywhere we turn, we're told that we should have this social networking account and that micro-blogging account – but this is all very jarring lingo to some.
Source: Social Media & Learning
So in plain English, here are the five top social media strategies that I've compiled, drawing on the trends, to help those folks out there who need to slow the world down a bit. Let go of your pamphlets for now – and click those knuckles...
6 of the best practices
1. You need at the very least, the "Trinity" – a Facebook page, a Twitter account and a blog
Each platform has a different purpose and can communicate with each other either through widgets or 'sharing' buttons i.e. "Like" or "share" button on Facebook.
2. Have a social media strategy
You need a plan of action. Who are you (organisation)? What are you offering audiences? Who is your target audience? And all those questions. This is important because if, for example, you're selling expensive watches to men above the age of 50 – Facebook is not likely to be your best bet. So knowing your audience and how you can reach them effectively is essential.
Included in this consideration is whether you hire someone to oversee the social media of your company or you look at existing roles within the company and decide which job description could be expanded to include handling social media.
3. Understand your tools and what each can give you
Once you know what you want and who you want to reach – then you need to do some research about the tools available to you. Tools from Flickr (photo sharing) to Crowdmap (collect info and visually represent it on a map), from photosynths (stitches photos together to form 360 degree panoramas and share them) to Storify – each of these can serve a particular need.
For example:
Twitter is great for headlines and teasers with links to your information on your website. It's also personal (if you follow a customer and they follow you = you can Direct Message (DM) each other). Facebook is great for scope and getting one message across to many. YouTube is a platform which you can upload your own videos and then embed them into many other platforms including blogs. Bear in mind though, that the longer your online video (in minutes), the longer it will take for people to buffer and view it across the country – and a long time spent "buffering" is likely to put them off watching it – so keep videos between three and four minutes ideally.
4. Social media optimisation (SMO)
Social Media Optimisation, aka SMO or social SEO, is social media put into practice with the goal of attracting unique visitors to website content.
You can do this by:
- Enabling RSS feeds, 'sharing' buttons, user-rating and polling tools and even using external content like images and videos, or by
- Blogging, participating in discussion groups, forums and updating information on social networking pages.
SMO can be used as part of an "online reputation management" strategy for anyone who cares about what audiences see/know about them online. It can also be used in marketing, recruiting, customer relations and PR amongst many other areas.
5. Measure social media metrics
Martin Zwilling wrote an article on the Business Insider detailing some social media best-practices including the need to identify your goals; get attention and reach audiences; measure respect and find influencers; track the emotional sentiment; measure customer response and action and so on.
You need to gauge how people are consuming your content, are they reading articles? Are they leaving comments or are they more driven to complete certain polls?
Once you know what they like from what you offer, then use that for conversions. Get them to take an action because that's where the company's profit lies (Return on Investment).
6. Get your colleagues involved
Most companies have social networking restrictions that block access to Facebook, YouTube etc. This is a double-edged sword, on the one hand it prevents people from wasting time and decreasing production outputs, on the other hand it limits the social media potential of the company.
If every staff member in the company was allowed access for a certain amount of time so they may upload information onto their platforms, whilst adhering to a social media policy, then the businesses online presence would likely increase.
Final thoughts
The General Manager of Communications & Public Affairs for BMW, Guy Kilfoil, has some interesting thoughts, "Once you open a channel [Twitter account or Facebook etc], you have to keep that channel open. You simply cannot only engage when you feel like it – and I think that's the problem with going into social media without a strategy. You need to be able to go into this area and stay in it for the good and the bad with a purpose of forging relationships. A relationship is never one-sided so you can't expect to deliver content to people and not have them come back to you and ask questions about it, engage and challenge you."
Two more things; be open and honest with your followers and interact with them and remember that anything you write online can be made public – so watch what you say (That's why social media policies are important to implement).

The secret state police (geheim staats polizei -- gestapo) are out enforce to make sure the tourists in Yellowstone National Park are not permitted to do anything other than stay in the Old Faithful Lodge. Indeed, reports are that armed guards are on hand to make sure the tourists don't go out to see Old Faithful. One report is that the rangers were to "make it [the shut down] as uncomfortable as possible for the American public." Thank you democrats! You have repeatedly turned down bills put forth by the House of Representatives to keep parts of the government open. And your reasons are evil to the core in their intent -- to enslave people to the largesse of government. "We have met the enemy and s/he is among us!"
Indaba Capital now owns 11,073, 780 shares 10.1%, now UPIP's largest shareholder. Over $18 million in new investment at ~1.66, plus the loan. Should be a floor to build on from here. I would like to see them make $100 million on their investment.
I don't expect much increase in the PPS until they announce some results. Past time, not one new significant deal in almost two years.
It's TIME!

Okay I took it to a guy who repairs cars and claims its either the main relay or the air fuel filter. I changed the main relay after doing a bunch of research on it and the car was running fine till today. It died once and less frequently as before. I now notice a constant clicking noise coming from around the fuse box area under the steering wheel. Any thought on this guys?
Nvm the clicking noise is solved but the cars still dying and I searched up other cases on google and people are saying the ignition switch?
Thanks for your replies rasmataz but I think I figured out the problem. Found other forums about the exact same issue and they have recalls on my car and other honda/acura cars around the same year and model that all have recalls on the ignition switch wires which causes the engine to suddenly die. Im getting a free replacement and service and so the ignition switch wires are the problem. Hope it helps anyone else

While I personally believe that every bug is worth fixing, the reality of business often causes the minimum-cost-for-maximum-benefit line to be drawn elsewhere. Heck, even customers often prioritize new features over bug fixes! (Not that this is a choice they should have to make....) Writing bug-free software is hard. There is no end of techniques and methodologies that claim to get you at least part way there. Some actually do make a noticeable difference. They all take time and effort that may not be available to spend.
Given this state of affairs, we are pretty much reduced to shipping software that is merely good enough. The specs are good enough, the design documents are good enough, the test cases are good enough, the code is good enough, the documentation is good enough. (I might go so for, in fact, as to say that test cases can't ever be better than good enough, because for anything more than the most trivial cases the set of potential tests is large enough that it's impossible to cover every one.) Unfortunately, I can't define "good enough" for you because it has a different definition for every application to which it is applied.
Here's an example: I have just recently finished ripping my ginourmous CD collection to WMA Lossless. I was not always as careful as I should have been, plus my rules for formatting certain parts of album and track titles have changed since I started, so I need to go through 13,500+ tracks fixing up metadata. This is way more than I want to do by hand, so I did what any geek would do and wrote a program that searches out and fixes up those tracks that don't meet my current standards.
Some of these rules are complex. Fixing capitalizations for example, is not as simple as upper-casing the first letter of every word and lower-casing everything else. Certain patterns occur frequently enough that I added logic to account for them, but others are rare enough (or weird enough) that it was faster and simpler to fix them by hand. Certainly I could have spent additional time and handled every last case, but I-as-the-sole-customer decided the delay wasn't worth the benefit.
What I ended with was mostly sufficient for me. If I was shipping this to the general public I would have almost certainlyspent the time to robustify the rules. Good Enough for me in this case was very different than Good Enough is for something I give to others.
I don't know any set formula you can use to make this decision, but there are several steps you can take to make it easier:
Knowing the minimum level of quality that is acceptable for your situation is vital to deciding what good enough means. Beyond that, you're pretty much on your own!

- Report (from old GMM site):
As you can imagine, having the H*E*M*P Bar and its live web cam shut down and a sign on it's door saying "Gone to Mardi Grass" meant I was in a bit of a sticky situation from an 'organizational' point of view. Fortunate for me, the previous decades worth of 4 20's had left such an impression in the minds of all the hardcore repeat MardiGrassers, that I almost didn't need to mention it, but, mention it I did. At 20 minutes past the hour ,every hour, on the main festival sound system I talked up the event. MardiGrass Saturday was a very POLICE intensive atmosphere, road blocks around the town, riot squad in bullet proof sunglasses every where you looked. I urged everyone if they was going to smoke one joint all day, let it be at 420 today when they could light that joint in global unity with the millions of other people all around earth who will also be lighting up at 420. And I always make a point of asking that when you do light up at 420, let it not be an act of defiance, let it be an act of peace, a sharing, a celebration and a thing you do every day at 420 until the law is changed.................... Peace for Pot ------------ Pot for Peace
Best part is that outside the H*E*M*P Bar wasn't the only venue for the 420 Demonstration, H*E*M*P President Michael Balderstone did a HUGE 420 Demo in Peace Park, Captain Reefer did another in Allsop Park, the Stage down in the Markets did a 420 and pretty much everyone everywhere was part of the Demonstration and if I had to add one last thought it would be that 4.20 PM on Saturday was about the only time that the main street of Nimbin had that traditional smoky mardigrass look to it, no arrests were recorded by the police at 4.20 or in the 30 minutes after. Over 15,000 people attended this years www.NimbinMardiGrass.com and everyone of them
till 2009

More info, links, years Edit
Nimbin tale: Site of the annual "First weekend in May" Nimbin MardiGrass, Nimbin is unique. Once a sacred initiation site for the Bundjalung tribe, it was originally "settled" by white Europeans in the very late 19th Century. Basically that means we clear-felled as much of the forest as we possibly could, fenced it off from the local Kooris and proceeded to wipe out any of them that objected to being uprooted, brain-washed and totally cut off from their traditional lands and way of life... It's a familiar story.
Within a couple of decades the white guys had pretty much run out of trees and so they started looking around for a NEW way to turn a buck. Sticking a whole bunch of heavy-footed European cows on the recently cleared slopes seemed like a good idea at the time, and so within ANOTHER few decades the once pristine forests surrounding this area had been transformed into an expanse of denuded, eroding cow pastures. Meanwhile the arse was busily dropping out of the international market for Australian meat and dairy produce. Ho-hum...
By 1973, Nimbin was almost a ghost town. Luckily for the local real estate agents, a bunch of long haired student radicals from the Australian Union of Students arrived seeking a site for a national student counter culture life style event called the Aquarius Festival. They had taken a left turn at Mullumbimby, chose Nimbin promising the village residents that Aquarius would "recycle the town".
Cut to 1993 - the same deserted dairy town has been transformed. The building and shop fronts are a garish yet somehow compelling collage of full blown psychedelia and traditional Bundjalung art. There's more cafes, craft shops and backpackers than you can wave a traveler's cheque at and the stinky sweet smell of ganja is positively enveloping the street. This definitely AINT Byron Bay.
Down the centre of the main drag of this tiny, tripped out tourist town, there's a huge throng of people, laughing, drumming, chanting, DANCING towards the local cop shop.
Dozens of them are helping to carry a huge smoking joint with "Let It Grow!" painted in 4 foot high letters on the side. Others are holding banners and placards calling for change - an end to drug prohibition, the legalisation of cannabis, an end to the drug war.
Many are openly smoking pot as they drum, sing and humba their way towards the suddenly vacant-looking police station. One dude is on stilts, wearing a huge cardboard helicopter he's made in mockery of the annual pot raids that Nimbin has suffered for more than a decade. Paradoxically, not one person looks angry.
What the f*ck is happening here?
Why, it's the first annual "Let It Grow!" MardiGrass Fiesta and drug law reform rally.
A thousand local "alternatives" (the politically correct way to say "hippies") finally spitting the dummy, coming out of the closet and in true 60s in-your-face street theatre style pointing out to the jaded apathetic mainstream that the drug wars just aren't working.
That night on the national news the Australian general public was faced with the bizarre spectacle of a bunch of aging hippies, their off-spring and an ever-growing army of young and old recruits joyously breaking the cannabis laws en masse and demanding a change to the drug laws. Not only has the war on drugs left a deep and unpleasant impression on our idyllic, lotus-munching existence (the hippies seemed to be saying) but these days it's seriously f*cking with YOUR way of life as well.
Ever since the '73 Aquarius Festival, Nimbin has had a strong tradition of civil disobedience of the drug laws. The cops tried to bust someone for pot in the middle of the festival, but were quickly (and peacefully) overpowered by the crowd and the "criminal" disappeared into the seething hairy melee. This was nothing new at the time.
The same kind of spontaneous rebellion had happened at the Sunbury rock festival the year before, and was of course a regular ingredient in the Vietnam protest movement of the sixties and early seventies.
By the late 80s however, people's willingness to take these kind of measures had markedly diminished... even in a place as supposedly pot-soaked as Nimbin. The U.S.-driven "War On Drugs" was in full swing. In the cities, the psychedelic, sacramental dealing circles of the sixties had long ago been replaced by more commercial, well-oiled interests. Smack was available everywhere in Australia. Hope was extremely unfashionable.
Those in Nimbin still clinging to their hippy ideals were pretty much trying to keep their heads down... at least as far as drugs were concerned. Regular invasive police helicopter raids were just a fact of life. The general wisdom seemed to be that showing an interest in drug law reform was as suicidal as walking into a police station smoking a joint.
Despite this generalised paranoia, a few brave souls were consistently stirring the pot.
Beginning in 1988, a series of public demonstrations, press releases and politically motivated events kept emanating from Nimbin, all of them hammering the same basic point ... the drug laws are a miserable, socially destructive failure.
At first, these words of wisdom only seemed to be coming from one person, Bob Hopkins, a Nimbinite who conducted a vigorous and extremely effective one-man campaign against the drug laws.
Gradually other folk began to get involved. Michael Balderstone (the owner of the local "hippy" museum) and David Heilpern (a lawyer and activist who later became a magistrate) were among the early ones.
By 1993, a small but dedicated bunch of folk had coalesced around the name "The Nimbin HEMP Embassy". Their press releases and activities had consistently kept the issue of drug law reform in the spotlight of the local media and more and more people were coming out in support of what they had to say. The time seemed right for a larger display of local public feelings. Hey presto, the first annual Let It Grow! MardiGrass and Drug Law Reform Rally was born.
The first MardiGrass attracted a crowd of about 1000 people and much publicity. The day went off without a hitch. It was a huge success.But controversy raised its ugly head when the Plantems 13 year old daughters photo holding a marijuana plant appeared in national newspaper 'The Sydney Morning Herald' and later, adult magazine 'The Underworld' including an interveiw with her, raising questions about child safety. Never the less, by the next year, many more local people were openly supportive of the event. That year, the MardiGrass rally was preceded by a conference and seminar which attracted politicians, academics and health professionals from all over Australia. In a tradition that has continued to this day, the crowd doubled over the previous year's numbers... 2000 people paraded through Nimbin calling for an end to the madness, prejudice and social chaos that masquerades as drug prohibition.
In 1995 the first MardiGrass Cannabis Grower's Cup was held.
The year 1996 saw the beginnings of many events that have since become intrinsic to the Mardi Grass. The HEMP Olympix had its inaugural year, as did the Kombi Konvoy and the Hemp Traders Trade Fair. The now-legendary HEMP Olympix comprised pothead contests around joint rolling, bong throwing and, for the more physically-minded, a Growers Ironperson competition. For this contestants pitted themselves against the odds in outlandish tests of strength such as crawling through lantana tunnels dragging large bags of fertiliser.
The Kombi Konvoy opened the 96 Mardi Grass and has done ever since. A procession of variously decorated Kombi vans winds its way from nearby Lismore, arriving at dusk in the crowded lantern-lit streets of Nimbin. Led by the Olympix torch-bearer, the Kombis eventually park in a circle and the crowd forms for the opening ceremony.
Thus begins a weekend of song, dance, speeches, workshops, poems, pot art exhibitions, hemp trade and fashion shows, drug law and drug health information exchanges, seed swaps, magick, myth and joyous, stoned civil disobedience and political demonstration.
Finally on the last day, a lucky few settle down for the Cannabis Cup.
Based (very loosely) on the Amsterdam event of the same name, the Nimbin Cannabis Cup is a nice mellow wrap-up to the heightened chaos of the previous few days. A rather broad selection of the best local buds is tasted, toked and tested by a smattering of card-carrying "expert" judges, eventually choosing a winner. If you don't make it as a judge however it doesn't really matter. Just like in Amsterdam, there's so much good pot everywhere that anyone that does make it to judge status is usually too stoned to tell anyway.
The MardiGrass has grown stronger and larger every year and the Nimbin HEMP Embassy has continued to stay at the forefront of drug law reform activism worldwide. Several large scale smoke-ins and demonstrations have been held outside police stations and courthouses, political candidates have been run (and polled quite highly), a television ad campaign was run requesting people to dial-in to a safe number and report any cases of police harassment or corruption. All this plus maintaining a high-profile drug education outlet in Nimbin's main drag.
One of the more interesting actions was the helicopter blockade in January 1997. Finally sick of the annual hippy-bashing helicopter raids that the police had been mounting every year, the HEMP crew and friends decided to do something about it. With a little ingenuity, they found out where the chopper squad was staying and where they'd parked the chopper for the night. Early the next morning, the cops awoke and opened their motel room door only to be greeted by the rather unnerving sight of one or two hippies chained underneath their wagons, a whole bunch of hippies waving and laughing at 'em from across the car park and a veritable swathe of camera-toting press all clicking and whirring and taking notes right next to those god damned hippies.
Needless to say the hippies had a very articulate and convincing press release ready about the waste of public money inherent in sending a bunch of gung-ho cops on double-pay in a very expensive helicopter to circle and swoop above the local communes and come back with a pathetic payload of what could only be described as personal stash.
Meanwhile on the other side of Lismore another couple of Hempsters were slowing things down by chaining themselves to the chopper. The press loved this story, and the cops?
Well, the cops just shook their heads, got in their little, blue wagon and went away. To this day, the helicopter squad has not returned to Nimbin.
All of these events lend colour and strength to the MardiGrass.
Last year's was a huge success and this year promises even more. As time goes on and the crowd grows, it's interesting to watch the demographic changing. These days, the old-school hippies are well and truly out-numbered by the whole array of society's archetypes. Many of these are just as counter or sub cultural as the hippies (punks, ferals etc). The vast number of them however are just plain, ordinary suburban working people. Many of them are there with their kids. Not all of them smoke pot, but they all know someone who does and they all agree that it's time for the drug laws to change.
It's ironic but somehow typical that the drug law reform movement should find it's most vocal and public face in a place like Nimbin. The MardiGrass gives voice to frustrations and problems that are vexing the whole of mainstream society, but most people aren't quite brave enough to express this to their neighbours. In the anonymity of a "freak-fest" like MardiGrass, many people are quite prepared to stand up and be counted. This is vitally important as a first step, but it's only when there's a MardiGrass happening in every town and when every pot smoker puts their hand up that the laws will change. It's too easy for the mainstream to ignore protest when it just happens in Nimbin.
So come this year to MardiGrass, but remember that it's a drug law reform rally and not just a pot party. We're there to make some points not just to get out of it, and remember to take some of the magick, idealism and commitment home with you when you go, there's enough to spare.

Uruguay believe being forced to scramble through the back-door of a nerve-shredding play-off to make the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ has forged the rock-hard team spirit which has taken them to within one match of the Final.
The South Americans, champions in 1930 and 1950, will play the Netherlands in the semi-finals in Cape Town on Tuesday, an astonishing performance for a country whose recent record has been mediocre. This is their first semi-final since 1970, and they failed to qualify for five of the last ten finals.
They only got to South Africa thanks to a 2-1 aggregate victory over Costa Rica in a play-off having finished fifth in the gruelling South American qualifying competition. "We were the last to qualify for the World Cup so in difficult moments when many things were going against us we knew how to go forward," said striker Edinson Cavani on Sunday. "I think it's a very important thing for our country and our people who have great expectations, we're representing our continent."
Although Uruguay are the only South American team to reach the last four, quarter-final penalty star Sebastian Abreu believes the level of football on his continent is the highest in the world. "The South American qualifiers showed that they're the hardest because we had four teams in the quarter-finals," he said.
Uruguay so nearly did not make it this far as Ghana had a golden opportunity to beat them in the previous round when striker Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty in the last minute of extra time with the scores locked at 1-1. He crashed his effort off the bar and Uruguay went on to win the shoot-out.
But had it not been for striker Luis Suarez's handball on the line to concede that last-gasp penalty, Uruguay would already be back in Montevideo. Suarez is suspended for the semi-final and the South Americans also have concerns over captain Diego Lugano, who has an injured knee after limping out of the Ghana clash in the first half.
And he is not confident he will be fit by Tuesday. "This morning I was able to run only in a straight line, but without pain," he said on Sunday. "With just four days between games that's not much time, it'll be very difficult (to be fit). It could get better, we'll wait until the last moment to see. But you have to be honest with your team, in such a special moment you have to be at 1,000 percent. I have to do the impossible to be ready but I must also be fit (if I am to play)."

For Gary Johnson and his wife Jan Johnson, Stagecoach is just one stop in a year thatâs filled with catering and other contests. They have barbecued at the festival since the inaugural year in 2007.
Gary Johnson, 61, works construction and Jan Johnson, 60, teaches first grade. But they both admit their barbecue catering business has consumed more and more of their time in recent years.
Thereâs plenty of practicing, refining â" and passing down the tradition to the next generation. Nic Johnson, 21, in his final year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, has started to play a key role cooking for the contests like Stagecoach.
That final box of their best brisket actually has Nicâs name on it. Gary Johnson calls his son the âhead cookâ these days. He refers to himself as âthe coach.â
âIn high school Iâd wake up for breakfast and heâd have this huge plate of ribs ready,â Nic explains, pointing to his dad.

Respond to Review of Mighty-O Donuts
by j.lee
Review: In recent years, Mighty-O has improved their yeast raised donut recipe, so that the cinnamon twists, maple bars and (on rare occasion when they have them) creme filled donuts are now soft and fluffy, but still fried enough to let you know that it's a donut. However, the addition this past month of Apple Fritters to the menu is a lock in my mind. One downside for any of the yeast raised donuts (including the fritters), you can't get there too early, because they aren't ready yet...or too late, because they're gone. A testament to the power of the O. There's no reason why you shouldn't visit here if you're in town. Two kind-of cons for me overall: 1) The coffee they use is Stumptown. Which is based out of Oregon. There are a number of local coffee roasters whose brews they could be taking advantage of (Cafe Vita comes immediately to mind). 2) For a mostly vegan donut shop, I'm more than a little annoyed that I get charged the soy tax, just like I would at every other non veg coffee shop in the universe. Is it too much to ask to NOT have to pay the $0.50 surcharge for eating something that coincides with the diet the bakery itself advertises?

ST. LOUIS Aaron Miles had no desire to face Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter again.
Fortunately for Miles, he didn't have to.
Miles hit a tying triple in the ninth inning off Fernando Salas and then scored the go-ahead run on a bobbled grounder, rallying the Dodgers over St. Louis, 2-1, Monday night.
Miles had been 0 for 3 against Carpenter and hadn't gotten the ball out of the infield.
"He was lights out for most of the game," Miles said. "He's definitely not a comfortable at-bat."
The game took an odd twist with two outs in the eighth when Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday walked off the field holding his right ear. A moth had gotten stuck in his ear, and a Cardinals trainer tried to assist Holliday as he walked to the dugout.
Holliday was taken into a dark room and a light was put to his ear, trying to lure the moth out, Cardinals spokesman Brian Bartow said. When that didn't work, an instrument was used to pry the live moth out of Holliday's ear.
Holliday was not available for comment but appeared to be OK, Bartow said.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead into the ninth behind Carpenter, who was 6-0 with a 1.57 ERA against the Dodgers going into the game.
Although Carpenter did not take the loss, he felt it nevertheless.
"It was a tough one, no question," Carpenter said. "Absolutely a tough loss."
Carpenter dominated the Dodgers for eight innings, shutting them out on five hits. He left after hitting Juan Rivera with a pitch to start the ninth.
Lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes struck out Andre Ethier, and La Russa brought in Salas (5-5). Miles tripled to right-center field to tie it.
Miles said that he was looking for a changeup. He was also thinking third base all the way.
"You've got to take chance with one out," Miles said. "I knew I was going to go for it. They had to make a good relay to get me."
LHP Clayton Kershaw (15-5, 2.60) opposes Cardinals RHP Kyle Lohse (11-7, 3.33) at 5 p.m. The game will be broadcast on KCAL/9, KABC/790 and KTNQ/1020 (Spanish).

Happy New Year, Adora! It's great to see you blogging again.
Fantastic story Adora. You explained things which I hadn't realised before. I would suggest you're a better teacher than most adults. All the very best for your future.:-)
rodney (62 years old)
hi Adora..we just watched ur story in the uk on channel4...i woz impressed with ur words of wisdom and understanding, just looked at ur website..amazing...ur parents ave a gifted child and must be proud..my niece is 4 yrs old and im going 2 send details of ur website 2 my sister...
keep up the great work and keep smiling...oh 1 thing dont4 get 2 ave a day of play as well...dancing is great for expressing ur self and u can think all sorts when dancing 2...keep the ideas flowing...God bless u and ur family...ur sis looks very smart 2...bye4now...lol 2 u n ur family...Anthony v
Adora, excellent post. I would suggest one thing further, if you do not mind, and that would be the defining difference, as time went on, between Martin Luther and John Calvin, as Calvinism became the mode for teaching a hitherto unknown concept, called Predestination, which has a diverse range of implications, in and of itself. Other than that, I can only say it was indeed a very good writing, but then, you do know that.
Just to tell you, I wish you were my Introduction to Engineering or my science teacher, or both!!! LOL!!! Seriously, think about teaching at Kesling Middle School! Look it up on the Internet. Do you have a windows live messenger, if so, what is it?
do you often post your history lessons online ? then perhaps you could enlighten me on post-war decolonisation or the israelo-palestinian conflict, or maybe the Vth Republic of France. I'm thinking you could explain it in simpler terms as you did in this article. I hope this didn't come off as brash.

On the beta expansion for Salem numbers of degree 6
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: For a given , the beta transformation is defined for by (mod ). The number is said to be a beta number if the orbit is finite, hence eventually periodic. It is known that all Pisot numbers are beta numbers, and it is conjectured that this is true for Salem numbers, but this is known only for Salem numbers of degree . Here we consider some computational and heuristic evidence for the conjecture in the case of Salem numbers of degree , by considering the set of such numbers of trace at most . Although the orbit is small for the majority of these numbers, there are some examples for which the orbit size is shown to exceed and for which the possibility remains that the orbit is infinite. There are also some very large orbits which have been shown to be finite: an example is given for which the preperiod length is and the period length is . This is in contrast to Salem numbers of degree where the orbit size is bounded by . An heuristic probabilistic model is proposed which explains the difference between the degree- and degree- cases. The model predicts that all Salem numbers of degree and should be beta numbers but that degree- Salem numbers can have orbits which are arbitrarily large relative to the size of . Furthermore, the model predicts that a positive proportion of Salem numbers of any fixed degree will not be beta numbers. This latter prediction is not tested here.

With the popularisation of high-throughput techniques, the need for procedures that help in the biological interpretation of results has increased enormously. Recently, new procedures inspired in systems biology criteria have started to be developed.
Here we present FatiScan, a web-based program which implements a threshold-independent test for the functional interpretation of large-scale experiments that does not depend on the pre-selection of genes based on the multiple application of independent tests to each gene. The test implemented aims to directly test the behaviour of blocks of functionally related genes, instead of focusing on single genes. In addition, the test does not depend on the type of the data used for obtaining significance values, and consequently different types of biologically informative terms (gene ontology, pathways, functional motifs, transcription factor binding sites or regulatory sites from CisRed) can be applied to different classes of genome-scale studies. We exemplify its application in microarray gene expression, evolution and interactomics.
Methods for gene set enrichment which, in addition, are independent from the original data and experimental design constitute a promising alternative for the functional profiling of genome-scale experiments. A web server that performs the test described and other similar ones can be found at: http://www.babelomics.org webcite.

text: I hope I wasn't the only one riding on Turkey Day. Got out for 9.6 miles of singletrack and blasted some previous lap times out of the water. Maybe it was the new Shimano Gore Tex winter shoes that did it. No froze toes today. Of course, I almost fell down while unclipping a couple of times due to installing some unfamiliar cleats just before leaving the house.:eek1 Aurelius would've been proud.
