Open source racing game with a track editor. It focuses on closed rally tracks with possible stunt elements (jumps, loops, pipes). You can drive in Single-Player mode racing against the clock or completing championships. There is also an online Multi-Player mode.
Stunt Rally 2.1 is released and after neglecting to update Desura for too long, it's now also available here. For some pretty pictures, visit the gallery at Picasaweb.google.com
The changelog for this one is the longest ever! You can check it out in full at Code.google.com (there are also the changes from previous releases that were not uploaded to Desura).
Contentwise, there's lots of new tracks and cars. The most awesome gameplay additions in my opinion are a prerecorded ghost on all tracks, a beam to guide you to the next checkpoint and a first version of a car damage system. On the graphical side, brake lights now have flares, there's an adaptive FOV effect when boosting and the GUI has received some improvements. Under the hood we have a new input implementation and simulation tweaks and then there's numerous editor improvements, bug fixes and whatnot.
Feel free to take it for a spin and give feedback so that we can make the next version even better.

Why am I having contractions?
Today I am 36 wks and having contractions. I'm not having BH cause my contractions are not going away. I have had them for 3 wks now. I was hospitalized for 3 days and was sent home because I was not dilated past 1 cm. But my contractions were 7 minutes apart. After that I went back 2 more times cause they were getting stronger. Now I'm 36 wks and once again my contractions are stronger and less than a minute apart but still at 1 cm. My pelvic area hurts so bad that I can barely walk. Im having pressure in my bottom kind of like Im in labor. I am not dehydrated nor constipated. My doc does not seem to be worried at all because Im not dialating. What is going on here? Can any of you ladies help?

Sounds like you have an over-active uterus. I had this after I went into pre-term with my son at 34wks. An over-active uterus contracts like true labor contractions. They are strong and can be monitored. but do not dilate the cervix. The also do not ever get closer. That is going to be your main labor determinator- monitor the contractions- since they hurt like labor contractions you may not be able to go by the intensity- so make sure you time them. True labor contractions WILL get closer together.posted 06/07/2011 by Emkaed
i have this at 32 weeks, i get sooo much pressure in my bottom and the pressure in the front hurts sooo bad! My dr. doesn't seem to be concerned either because i am not dilated nor is my water leaking...he says that is just the way the baby is sitting and that it may be like that til the baby is bornposted 06/07/2011 by kellipetery

How are people thinking and talking about the role that HIV plays in their lives and in their communities? Below you'll find a diverse compilation of first-person reflections by people living with HIV or affected by the epidemic, and a wide array of responses to some burning questions in our community. Make sure to peruse, ponder and participate in this year's World AIDS Day "Perspectives" section.
Columns | Word on the Street | poster/VIRUS Gallery
Say What You Wanna Say: Be Brave on World AIDS Day
Remembering those who have died in silence ... who suffered because to be brave would've cost them their friends, their relationships ... would've cost them their jobs, their insurance. To be brave cost some their lives. We give thanks for their bravery.
HIV -- At an Airport Near You!
At the airport in Atlanta, on this particular day, as I came through the security gate, the security officer said (as I went through): "Hey, what's up with that shirt?" I turned around and said: "Oh, I am HIV positive." (And in my head: what, you don't know?)
HIV, Intersectionality and the Generation Gap
I don't just bring this up because I think it's funny to make Gen Xers feel old ... I think it shines a light on something that we try to keep in mind here, behind the scenes at TheBody.com: Sometimes, it's easy to just assume that everyone out there knows what you know, that other people are all basically like you, and to not realize how important those differences are.
A Litany for Burning Condoms
Part of the problem is the conscious and unconscious meanings we project onto condoms, which are public health's top method of intervention. It is a crisis among us of apathy and learned helplessness that is reflective of our quest to find peace and ease within a world that attempts to make simple the complexity of our sexuality.
The Other HIV Stigma: An Inside Job
Fighting stigma in the world is essential to get to zero, but it's not the whole story. Each of us living with HIV needs to identify and throw away our inner stigma, those dark beliefs about ourselves that bring us shame and affect our behavior, and which do not belong to us.
Don't Trust Any AIDS Organization Over 30?
What happened to the chorus chants of "never again"? For many gay men, they are living the nightmare we swore they would never see. We all know the numbers, stats, and dire predictions for the rate of infection amongst gay men, yet still no outrage. That is not smoke you smell from behind your back as you look toward the sunrise; that is the putrid aroma of a house in perpetual flame.
The Grinch Who Stole World AIDS Day
The goal of World AIDS Day should be to get people talking about the battle against HIV/AIDS, where we are today, what we have achieved and why we are not winning. This is an important goal during a time when people living with HIV/AIDS continue to pay a heavy toll worldwide. We need to provide the full picture on where the failure is and why.
Honoring the "Gay Family" I've Lost to AIDS
Toward the end of August of 1992, I was with Russell the night that beautiful man finally succumbed to AIDS. I got so drunk that night I had to call in sick to work the next day -- which is why I was home when Eric called. Eric called to say he was in San Francisco General and would not be getting out, and he had to see me before he died. So, within 48 hours, I was walking into SF General Hospital to see yet another young man who looked like he was 90 years old.
HIV Stops With Me
I am very blessed to have an HIV-negative partner that loves me and understands my struggles ... but I do not like when others say, "Aww Maria, you are so blessed that Lisa accepted you with what you have!" Ummmm, NOT! I am super-blessed to have a wonderful person -- but she is blessed as well to have a human being like myself.
Honoring Our AIDS History -- Without Punishing Younger Gay Men
We successfully entrenched the immediate, mortal danger of HIV, the shameless inaction of our government, and the profit-driven, opportunistic role of the pharmaceutical industry. Anything that veers from that narrative, especially for those of us who lived it, feels like betrayal. Yet here we sit, in an age that confounds so much of what we once knew to be true. The 1980s are history. They are not a prevention strategy.
For World AIDS Day, My HIV Diagnosis Day, Finally Conquering My Demons
While many have unprotected sex because of a decision they make, many of those who did not have a choice are forgotten and called words from lips I would never kiss my own mother with. People who are sexually assaulted like me are forgotten about and placed under the description of "over sexualized homosexual." I strive very hard to break that thought process.
A Longtime HIV Survivor Shares Concerns From Quebec
In earlier days, gay men were ready to start a relationship knowing that they could protect themselves. Ironically, now that we know more about prevention, the population in general knows less. So my hope of finding somebody is diminishing with each passing year. Yes I do have good friends and am close to my family, but a good friend is not a partner.
Stories I Lived to Tell
They were artists. Society is so busy labeling and shame-blaming their being gay without acknowledging that fact that they were artists. Imagine what the world would have looked like if they had lived and continued to create.
Reclaiming My Life, Beyond HIV -- and Finding the MAGIC!
Every decision, every musical gig, everything I write about, every personal relationship or lack thereof, is more than affected by the openness with which I live with HIV. What if I listened to my therapist when she said to me: "You can just be Sherri, you know. You're not HIV. Why not let someone get to know YOU?"
Living With HIV, Surviving the Boston Marathon Attack and Running the NYC Marathon
The destruction from "Superstorm Sandy" that devastated many people's lives had cancelled last year's New York City Marathon ... Just six months ago I was a half-mile before the finish line of last April's Boston Marathon after the bombs went off. I could not avoid being affected, my endorphins could not flow with happiness, and I got physically sick. After these overwhelming experiences I had a responsibility to my team guides and myself to again transcend limitations and be a part of the 2013 New York City Marathon.
When We Talk About HIV, Who Are We Not Talking About Enough?
Which communities do you think don't get their due share of attention when it comes to HIV awareness, policy, prevention and/or care? Since HIV thrives on silence, it is essential to find ways to address the impact of the epidemic among populations that get left out of conversations -- and subsequently funding, programming, media coverage, activism and more -- around HIV. We asked a wide range of HIV/AIDS community members which groups they saw falling through the cracks.
Growing Older With HIV: What Concerns You Most?
By the year 2015, the majority of people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. will be age 50 and older -- due to the longer lives brought by modern HIV treatment, and to the fact that one in six new diagnoses of HIV is an older adult. Growing older is a vexing prospect for many people as it is, and living with HIV, or receiving an HIV diagnosis, can bring a host of complexities to this life phase.
As the length of life among people living with HIV expands, what are community members' worries about the quality of those lives? We asked this question at conferences and via our weekly newsletter; the responses trace paths to advocacy for a wide range of increased support for older adults living with HIV.
Artists Affected by HIV Use Images to Make Daring Statements: Posters From a Toronto Street Campaign
"We are not the
"We are tired of the limits imposed on how we can talk about AIDS. We are tired of individualized responses that ignore the realities and complexities of our lives. We are tired of being defined through acronyms. We are tired of the buzzwords, language that privileges some groups over others and increases the divide between us and them. The bureaucratization of AIDS has marginalized voices that complicate for too long."
poster/VIRUS is a collaborative project between artists and activists through Canadian activist group AIDS Action Now. The project features in-your-face posters plastered all over the city of Toronto throughout the weeks surrounding World AIDS Day.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Denver Broncos defensive tackle Ty Warren will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair his partially torn right triceps.
Coach John Fox said Thursday that the Broncos won't place him on injured reserve. The team is hoping he can return to play in November.
Warren was the Broncos' top free agency acquisition, signing a two-year, $8 million deal two weeks ago.
Warren was hurt during practice Monday after lining up alongside Marcus Thomas, who strained his right pectoral muscle during a 1-on-1 drill. Minutes later, Warren was hurt during a 9-on-7 team drill.

Michael Sweeten: Hi! I'm Michael Sweeten, Sporting Goods Product Manager for Lifetime Products. Today we're going to be looking at performance.
A part of performance with the basketball system is the backboard. The performance of your backboard is tied directly to the material that it's made out of. Composite Backboards are typically molded and are great for beginners or for you. They are also the most affordable boards. A step up from my composite board is the Polycarbonate Backboard. These backboards are typically shatterproof, an integrated, clear, unbreakable playing surface with either a composite or a steel frame for a durable pro-glass look.
A step up in performance from a polycarbonate backboard would be an Acrylic Backboard. Acrylic backboard feature professional styling and while not as durable as a polycarbonate backboard, they do provide a better rebound.
Finally, Tempered Glass. Tempered glass is the premium playing surface and gives you the look and play of a professional game. Tempered glass is the material used in all collegiate and professional applications. In addition to the backboard, the rim is an important part of the performance of your system. There are different rim types ranging from a standard rim which bolts directly to a backboard, to a spring-loaded rim which does provide spring-back action and, finally, a professional rim which provides spring-back action as well as a wraparound brace giving it not only a professional look but performance.
Now that we know how your system is going to need to perform, we can take a look at adjustment.

Stata 1 2 3 - Workshop 1: Social Class and Health
Keywords: Stata, descriptive statistics, cross-tables, bar graph, pie graph.
Stata is one of the leading statistical software packages. Most of its users work in research, especially in the fields of economics, sociology, political science, biomedicine and epidemiology. The Social Science Data Services at Government Information department designs this "Stata 1 2 3" workshop series to introduce the basics as well as advanced uses of the application. Meanwhile, several primary social science data resources will also be presented.
In the first workshop, Social Class and Health, you will explore a real national survey data (National Health Interview Survey 2009, available from ICPSR) in Stata to test if there are statistical differences of health insurance coverage and number of nights staying in hospital across different family income groups. You will learn how to use Stata 11 to:
- Load in a data file in Stata format and Excel spreadsheet.
- Find an interested variable in the data file, generate new variables.
- Run descriptive statistics (average, range, count, etc) and generate crosstables.
- Visualize your work by bar graph and pie graph.
We will also include the category of numerical information, and several tricks to better organize a research data file in Stata. At the end of the workshop, we will introduce ICPSR, one of the key resources for social science data.
Please contact Sui if you are interested. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Peru Blows Up Gold Mine Machines in Bid to Legalize Activity
Crisologo Quispe says he halted operations at his gold mine in the Peruvian jungle in April after police used dynamite to blow up $350,000 loaders at a nearby site.
Quispe fired 17 workers and moved machinery elsewhere on concern his concession in 428 hectares (1,057 acres) of jungle bordering the Madre de Dios region of southeast Peru will become embroiled in a government campaign against illegal mining.
"I'm not operating for safety reasons until things become clearer," Quispe said last month in an interview in Cuzco, where he's applying for a mining permit. "I'm not illegal but I'm worried that what's happening to the illegal ones could happen to me. The raids don't differentiate."
Quispe owns one of 58,000 small mine operations that the government says have signed up for a process to operate legally and abide by environmental, labor and tax legislation. The crackdown on another 30,000 has fed a slump in gold exports from Latin America's largest producer. The government needs to streamline the permit process and stop attacking mines operating in areas where previously it encouraged mining, or it will face social conflict, according to Miguel Santillana, an economist at Lima-based Universidad San Martin de Porres.
Protests by mine owners and workers in April left one person dead in the jungle town of Mazuco as police sought to reopen a highway connecting Brazil with Peru's Pacific coast. Police clashed with as many as 2,000 miners marching towards Congress in March in Lima.
Success Story
Mine operators that signed up for formalization before an April deadline have been granted amnesty to continue operating and have nothing to fear from the raids, which only target illegal mines, said Daniel Urresti, a retired army general who's leading the crackdown.
Rising exports of copper and gold have helped Peru become South America's fastest growing economy over the past decade, expanding an average of 6.3 percent a year. Gross domestic product grew 4.8 percent in the first quarter.
Santillana, who has advised mining companies on community relations in Peru, estimates there are as many as 550,000 people working in informal mine tunnels in the mountains and mining pits in the jungle. The formal mining industry employs about 180,000, according to the Energy and Mines Ministry.
President Ollanta Humala's government passed legislation in April 2012 that gave small-scale mine operators two years to sign up for a six-step formalization process. The operators need to apply for certificates from five government entities, covering areas such as water, exploration, processing minerals and reforestation.
Falling Exports
Registered gold mines led by Newmont Mining Corp.'s Yanacocha unit produced 151 tons of gold last year. The government doesn't track illegal and informal production. Customs data, which until this year included gold from informal and illegal mines, show exports of 172 tons for 2013.
The value of gold exports tumbled 47 percent to $1.2 billion in the first quarter from a year earlier as international prices declined, formal mine output fell and the government clamped down on sales by illegal and informal mines.
Madre de Dios, which accounts for 11 percent of Peru's gold output, is the focus of the government campaign to eliminate illegal mining.
Laying Waste
Gold mining has turned more than 50,000 hectares of rain forest in Madre de Dios into a wasteland of craters and pools of brown water, according to a study last year by the Washington-based Carnegie Institution for Science and Peru's Environment Ministry. Illegal mine operators have encroached on the buffer zone of the Tambopata reserve, home to jaguars, capuchin monkeys, the endangered giant river otter and about 7 percent of the world's bird species.
The annual average rate of deforestation tripled between 2008 and 2012 after gold prices surged, the study said.
Since December the government has stepped up raids on illegal gold mines and limited the sale of gasoline in Madre de Dios to starve miners of fuel, Urresti said in a June 4 interview in Lima.
Urresti reports directly to Humala as head of the office for mine formalization, eradication of illegal mining and environmental remediation.
Humala was elected in 2011 on pledges to increase mining royalties and tighten environmental regulation. The government is taking steps to curb tax evasion and expand the tax base to offset lower metal prices, the Finance Ministry said April 23.
Protecting Nature
The cost of combating illegal mining in terms of falling incomes in gold-producing areas is outweighed by the benefits to the environment, labor conditions and tax revenue, said Elmer Cuba, a partner at research firm Macroconsult.
"It's a collateral effect of something that's positive for the country," Cuba said by phone from Lima.
One mine owner, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation by neighboring operators, says that after clearing an area of forest and extracting the gold, workers at the company put the soil back, top it with fertilizer and plant native trees and shrubs from an on-site nursery.
It hasn't done the mine owner any good. Excavators and dump trucks sit idly at the site in Mazuco while a dog sleeps in the bucket of a loader. The owner says there are no buyers for the mine's gold and even though the company pays income taxes and respects labor laws, it could be targeted by the police.
Causing Panic
The owner says the site's skeleton staff panic when they hear the sound of helicopters after police destroyed equipment at a nearby site.
Urresti says police explosive experts are authorized to destroy mining equipment in the presence of a public attorney after the Mines Ministry has confirmed the site is illegal. Impounding the equipment isn't an option as most of the jungle sites are far from any roads and the legal process is lengthy and costly, he said.
Rather than encouraging mines to operate legally, the campaign is putting out of business mines that are on their way to becoming legal, said the economist Santillana.
"The government is making an extraordinary effort to show people it's doing something," Santillana said in an interview in Lima. "Bombing is not the solution. Most of the mine workers are peasants who haven't finished primary school. They know the gold is there and at these prices they'll make more money extracting gold than growing maize or potatoes."
Informal Market
In December, customs officials began verifying exporters' gold comes from mines that comply with the new legislation, and seizing any metal that doesn't. As a result, many export companies have closed and the informal market for gold has collapsed, Urresti said.
About 60 illegal mines operate in Madre de Dios and the biggest built up a fleet of about 120 loaders and excavators, he said.
"This is a problem that had been swept under the carpet," Urresti said. "I've declared a fight to the death with illegal mining. We can't allow them to continue destroying the Amazon."
International gold prices have tripled in the past decade, and brought prosperity to Madre de Dios. The region's poverty rate fell to 3.8 percent last year from 28 percent a decade ago and is the lowest of Peru's 25 regions.
Everything is changing this year. In Mazuco, gold merchants and gas stations have closed and many other businesses are struggling.
Antonio Diaz says he used to earn 100 soles ($36) a day carrying workers or sacks of rice to local mines in his three-wheeled auto-rickshaw. His earnings have dropped to 20 soles and his son has had to suspend his pre-university course in Cuzco to take up a job in a bakery.
"The so-called formalization isn't working. It's a farce," said Luis Vargas, a 45-year-old mine owner who took part in the protests in Mazuco. "Miners have lost everything. There's no fuel for the equipment so there's no economy. People are ready to explode."
Losing Faith
Quispe, the mine operator, says the process to register mines is too complex and time consuming. He was the first of about 1,800 mine owners in Cuzco to sign up for formalization since April 2012 and is still waiting for the all-clear from the Mines Ministry, according to Olga Arana, who oversees the process for the regional government.
Twice as many miners in Cuzco probably would have signed up if her office had resources to travel to more mining areas to explain the formalization process, Arana said.
Quispe says the government's current approach probably will lead to more conflicts as mine owners and workers fight to protect their livelihoods.
"The government wants to get rid of the small and traditional producers," Quispe said. "We generate more jobs than big mining but no one's looking out for our interests. We're very vulnerable."

text: A bi-partisan group of U.S. Senators has crafted legislation that focuses on sexual assault on college campuses. Virginia's senior U.S. Senator, Democrat Mark Warner (pictured), is among eight sponsors of the Campus Safety and Accountability Act. Iowa Republican Charles Grassley says he and his fellow co-sponsors want to make sure colleges and universities take the issue seriously. Grassley says there are some universities that are often reluctant to say much because they fear it will harm the school's reputation. The issue gained new prominence after the U.S. Department of Education released lists of 67 schools that are facing greater scrutiny. The federal agency has listed schools from coast to coast, including the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary, and the University of Richmond.

Meanwhile, "Oklahoma" continues its remarkable reprise. The revelatory revival directed by Molly Smith proved to be quite the sensation when it opened the marvelously renovated Arena Stage in November and quickly sold out, so the company brought it back this summer.

Digital & Social Media Strategy
From strategy to implementation, the GFM Digital Strategy & Social Media team sees the big picture without losing sight of the smallest details. After all, digital and social media, by nature, change constantly. In a liquid landscape such as this, we're always finding new ways to incorporate digital strategy and social media into communications plans.
Tightly integrated into our strategic public relations programs, GFM's Digital and Social Media team works to bolster online relationships and connect a brand directly with consumers and influencers. Connecting directly with consumers is the core communications. Digital and social media channels afford brands and organizations direct access to authentic, two-way conversations with their audiences. This kind of dialogue not only brings a brand to life, it provides a direct pipeline for feedback from customers, as well as a powerful platform for highlighting products and services in a lively, visual way.
The digital and social media strategies GFM delivers run the gamut, covering online research and targeting; measurement and monitoring; SEO/SEM; influencer engagement; online advertising and mobile apps; motion graphics and animation; brand enhancement; video production; and digital design and development, including websites and branded social media tools. We'll help find just the right mix of tools to build visibility, credibility and profitability for your brand.
Social Media Overview
Social media is the great communications equalizer. No longer must we rely on traditional media alone to deliver a story to the public. Now anyone can be a content publisher and a content consumer. In the skilled hands of a firm like GFM, social media provides the means not only to listen to and interact with key audiences, but also to connect with them in meaningful ways that bring stories and brand experiences to life.
The GFM Social Media team takes a strategic approach to delivering those stories, creating those brand experiences, and connecting directly with our clients' audiences. We see social media not as a "plug and play" channel where conversations are canned and information is pushed out in a self-promotional manner, but rather as a vehicle to generate connections, foster brand advocates and map back to organizational goals and objectives.
That approach has produced measurable results for the likes of Qdoba Mexican Grill, America On the Move, Children's Hospital Colorado, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, Oskar Blues Brewery, LiveWell Colorado and the Wyoming Department of Travel and Tourism, just to name a few. Those clients have seen:
- Increased website/webpage traffic
- Retail foot traffic
- Highly successful coupon and special offer redemption
- Consistent social engagement, including comments, shares and likes
- Traditional media coverage and exposure
- Overall brand awareness
Our social media services include:
- Content optimization
- Community building/blogger outreach
- Digital Snapshot™
- Metrics, analytics and measurement
- Online War Room®
- Platform POV™
- Social media audit
- Social media campaigns
- Social media contests
- Social media editorial content calendar
- Social media education and training
- Social media monitoring
- Social media platform development & management
- Social media policies

Filed under: How to
The next step in my ceramics process is optional. I like things to look really clean and simple, so I often don't add any color at all. But I decided to give some of my new pieces a little splash of color.
I use all Duncan paints, mainly because it's what my mom used when she taught me. Any paint that you use prior to glazing is called an "underglaze." My favorite Duncan underglaze is called Cover Coats. You can get a really solid, intense color, but it takes 3 coats, so it's not great for detail work. Technically, Cover Coats are thinned, colored slip (which, if you recall, is the liquid clay we used in step 1), so you can pile on as much as you'd like, as long as you let it dry completely before firing.
Here's a piece I did using Cover Coats.
For details I use EZ Strokes, which only takes one coat (in fact, if you use more than one coat, it could flake). I added a little red detail to this piece with EZ Strokes:
Up next: Firing!! Finally going to add some heat to these bad boys!
All of the steps:

What's happened to Easter brunch?
A lively if sporadic discussion has been going on about favorite foods to serve for Easter dinner under an earlier entry. It seems to me the subject deserves its own post.
I realized I haven't heard from anyone wanting to know the best restaurants to go for Easter brunch this year. And I haven't gotten press releases from restaurants touting their Easter spreads. Usually I get a call or an e-mail or two.
I had heard that nationwide hotels and such were discontinuing their expensive all-you-can-eat brunches except for the holidays. People are preferring to pay for just what they can eat. ...
How did Easter brunch and not Easter dinner get to be the meal to eat out anyway? We always had Easter dinner in my family, almost always lamb, asparagus and new potatoes with some sort of lemon or strawberry dessert.
I told my brother -- Gailor and I will be visiting him in Los Angeles for Easter -- that I would shop and cook for the three of us but no other guests (because I'll be on vacation).
But he's off lamb, he says, and Gailor wouldn't eat it anyway. I countered with a roast chicken, but he thought that would be too plain. Now he's talking filets with a red wine sauce.
Maybe I'll turn over the cooking to him. Or maybe we'll go out.

This evening (at 6PM PT) Brian and I will be at Intel's booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Central Hall, Booth #7252) filming the second on-location AnandTech Mobile Show. We'll be discussing all of the mobile announcements at CES thus far, including the Tegra K1 that was just announced earlier this week. If you're at CES, feel free to drop by Intel's booth to check out the show as it's being filmed. We'll post the show to our YouTube channel immediately afterwards so look for it tomorrow evening.
Update: It looks like we may get Intel's Hermann Eul (VP and GM of the Mobile & Comms group) to stop by for a candid interview on the show. This is going to be an exciting one. If there's anything you guys want us to discuss on the show let us know in the comments!
Update 2: Sorry for the delay, bandwidth is a little limited here at CES and we're trying to get the video uploaded asap!
Update 3: The CES 2014 Mobile Show has been published here. It has also been published as a podcast for our mobile listeners, and as avaiable via our regular podcast feeds.

David de Rothschild: Talking Trash
On the eve of a two-year project to combat waste, one of England's greenest aristocrats shares his plans for cleaning up the planet.
Text by Mary Anne Potts Photograph by Martin Hartley
David de Rothschild is a
National Geographic Emerging Explorer
for 2007.
David de Rothschild, 28, founder of
Adventure Ecology
; heir to one of the world's largest banking fortunes
A series of expeditions, from the Amazon to the open sea, to draw attention to the world's most polluted places
Adventure Ecology's Ten Easy Ways to Clean Up Your Act
1. Reduce the number of plastic bags you acquire. If you have to accept a bag, find an additional use for it.
2. Use newspaper instead of logs in your fireplace. One paper will burn for up to an hour. Visit
for details.
3. Reuse envelopes.
4. While waiting for tap water to get hot, collect the water for your plants.
5. Avoid disposable razors. Every day Bic sells 10 million razors that end up in landfills.
6. Use cloth handkerchiefs to reduce the energy and expense of producing and packaging paper tissues.
7. Water your garden at night so the water soaks into the ground instead of evaporating.
8. Write to mail companies and get yourself off junk mail lists.
9. Buy local produce that's in season.
10. Reuse greeting cards. Get creative and cut them up as gift tags.
For more, go to
Adventure Ecology.
You have the resources to indulge in any number of interests. Why this fascination with garbage?
It's not so much a fascination as an observation that our consumer society is creating a planet of waste. Eighty percent of what we buy gets thrown out within six months. So who you are isn't what's relevant. It's recognizing that we're all part of the problem—and the solution.
In January 2005 you completed a traverse of Antarctica, and five months later your team clocked the fastest crossing of Greenland's ice cap. Trash touring seems a bit tame in comparison.
When we skied across Antarctica, it generated a lot of interest. It seemed insane to let all that energy dissipate. I still wanted to go on great expeditions, but ones with a point. So with Adventure Ecology, we've reversed the model and built them around environmental issues. I think saving the planet is going to be one of the century's greatest adventures.
In April you'll begin traveling with scientists, artists, and filmmakers to the world's filthiest places. What's the first stop?
Near Lago Agrio, Ecuador, is an area about twice the size of Manhattan that was once a rain forest teeming with biodiversity. Now it's an apocalyptic wasteland littered with open-air toxic oil pits. It's a tragedy of epic proportions that needs to be told.
You're also planning a voyage from Hawaii to California. Is there a Bermuda Triangle of junk out there?
Actually, I was horrified to learn that the largest accumulation of trash in the world is not outside New York City or Shanghai, rather it is in the Pacific Ocean—and only sailors and marine conservationists seem to know about it. We'll be traveling in the style of Thor Heyerdahl, except that our boat will be made out of plastic bottles.
How many plastic bottles will it take to build this recyclable
More than I care to think about. Considering that we throw away billions of bottles a year, we won't be short on raw materials.

For three days in May, this sunny music room in Berlin in the apartment of cellist Julian Arp and writer Johanna Arp served as the rendezvous point for Ithaca College Violin Professor Nicholas DiEugenio, pianist Mimi Solomon, and Hungarian pianist Ferenc Rados.
A faculty member of the Liszt Academy in Budapest for many years, Mr. Rados continues to coach professional musicians throughout Europe and as a guest at Prussia Cove in England. For twenty hours over three days, DiEugenio, Solomon, and Rados explored in great depth each movement of the three Brahms Sonatas for Violin and Piano. The heart of the discussion centered on Brahms' use of musical notation; the way in which performers interpret notation within the context of "what the notes themselves want to do." This past October, DiEugenio and Solomon also worked with Rados on a program of Enesco, Schumann, and Janacek, later performing the recital at La Loingtaine near Paris, France.

Words as Real as Actions
Speech can make worlds come into being--and must therefore be used with utmost care.
"Actions," they say, "speak louder than words." People "talk, talk, talk"-- but what really counts is action.
Given the power of these maxims in our culture, you might think that the Bible would model a preference for deeds over words. You might think biblical figures would pay more dearly for their deeds than their words.
But in the world of the Bible, speech is as powerful as action, maybe more so. Its consequences are real and enduring.
God speaks into the void, and, sentence by sentence, with each "Let there be!" a world comes into being. God speaks to Abraham, telling him, "I will maintain my covenant between me and you...." And with these words, a complicated covenantal relationship of thousands of years is set into motion.
Linguists call such world-changing utterances performative acts: when you speak words and a new reality comes into being. "I now pronounce you man and wife" is a good example, for after those words are spoken, not only is the couple married but their children are considered legitimate, they get to file for taxes as a pair, and they can receive a spouse's medical benefits.
The Torah portion we read this week, Vayeshev, is chockfull of various kinds of utterances with implications that ripple out and endure. There are unkind words spoken that cannot be taken back. There are words that don't literally come to pass but ignite huge explosions of events. And there are words of kindness that when spoken restore life.
Consider some of the different speech acts made by the biblical figures we encounter in Vayeshev, and consider their heavy consequences:Joseph brings back "bad reports" (Genesis 37:2) of his brothers' flock-tending practices to his father, Jacob. That is to say, Joseph doesn't keep his critique to himself. Filled with righteousness, he makes atsimmis,
speaking truth to power.
What are the consequences of Joseph's lust for reporting such tales? The flow of words moves Jacob to affirm that he loves Joseph more than he loves his other sons, a situation that causes them to hate Joseph so much that, ironically, they are silenced, unable to "speak peaceably with him" (37:4). (Their speechlessness, for the exegete Rashi, earns praise for these otherwise most naughty boys: They were rightnot
to give voice to their bitter feelings or to feel one thing but say another.)
Joseph then has a dream--which could, had he remained silent, have had no social consequence. But he reports it to his brothers, increasing their hatred for him even more. (Just imagine if we felt compelled to sit at the breakfast table and broadcast the content of our dreams involving family members, or compelled to stand around the copier and report our dreams to our colleagues who "starred" in them.) A second dream, a second report. This time, Joseph's words--more so than his dreams--anger his brothers enough to cause them to conspire against him. Jacob rebukes Joseph, not for having such dreams but for speaking of them. He rebukes Joseph because such words, as Rashi explains, can only give rise to enmity. The problems with words is that they make what one feels indelibly true. Sometimes too true, sometimes truer than need be expressed.

September 23rd, 2009:
The slow moving storm that has plagued Southern Colorado for the past few days, has been a pain. Not only from a forecasting standpoint, but from a sensible weather standpoint. Temperatures have been way below normal and we've had rain and snow showers to contend with. While most of the precipitation hasn't been that significant, our computer models have struggled at times to figure out what to do with the storm. Sometimes that happens, especially with early and late season storms. This one is no exception. The little snow that we did see, did get folks thinking about Winter though. Here are some September snow stats:
Earliest Snowfall for Colorado Springs: September 2nd, 1961
Highest Total Monthly Snowfall for September: 27.9" in 1959
The last time it snowed in September in Colorado Springs, was in 2006. That was an El Nino year, and we had a nasty Winter thereafter. While we only totaled 30" at the Colorado Springs Airport that Winter, Briargate picked up over 100" of snow, and Monument over 200". I am not saying that this Winter is going to be identical to that Winter, but El Nino Winters are usually pretty active for Southern Colorado.
By the same token, the weather can change rapidly for the better in September. This weekend, we'll have highs in the 70's and 80's and make people forget about this early brush with late Fall/Winter type weather.

Silky Sweet – Natural Face and Body Sugaring. A friendly and professional service at competitive prices
Discovered hundreds of years ago, Sugaring was used across North and East Africa, Greece and some of the Arab countries, including Egypt, as it was deemed to be more hygienic to remove all bodily hair in an age when soaps and deodorants did not yet exist.
If you have discovered my website then you too are no doubt looking for an effective, hygienic and convenient method of hair removal for the face and/or body, and Traditional Hand Sugaring is an ideal solution to what can be a sensitive, and sometimes embarrassing issue.
Traditional hand Sugaring is so effective because the hair is removed from the root. This means that hair takes longer to grow back and with repeat treatments the roots can weaken, which can lead to diminishment of the hair growth. In addition, Sugaring uses only natural ingredients and is therefore suitable for all skin types.
So if you would like to join the many people who have discovered the benefits of Sugaring, you are very welcome to call for appointments or further information.

Others said unhappiness over spending outweighed fears that the financial markets will plunge on Wednesday if the fiscal cliff hasn't been averted.
"There's a concern about the markets, but there's a bigger concern, which is getting this right, which is something we haven't been very good at over the past two years," said Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio.
House Democrats met privately with Biden for their review of the measure, and the party's leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, said afterward that Boehner should permit a vote.
"That is what we expect. That is what the American people deserve," she said.
For all the struggle involved in the legislation, even its passage would merely clear the way for another round of controversy almost as soon as the new Congress convenes.
With the Treasury expected to need an expansion in borrowing authority by early spring, and funding authority for most government programs set to expire in late March, Republicans have made it clear they intend to use those events as leverage with the administration to win savings from Medicare and other government benefit programs.
McConnell said as much moments before the 2 a.m. Tuesday vote in the Senate — two hours after the advertised "cliff" deadline.
"We've taken care of the revenue side of this debate. Now it's time to get serious about reducing Washington's out-of-control spending," he said. "That's a debate the American people want. It's the debate we'll have next. And it's a debate Republicans are ready for."
The 89-8 vote in the Senate was unexpectedly lopsided.
Despite grumbling from liberals that Obama had given way too much in the bargaining, only two Democrats opposed the measure.
Among the Republican supporters were Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, an ardent opponent of tax increases, as well as Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, elected to his seat two years ago with tea party support.
It marked the first time in two decades that Republicans willingly supported higher taxes, in this case on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. Taxes also would rise on estates greater than $5 million in size, and on capital gains and dividend income made by the wealthy.

Valdosta State Blazers prepares for the semifinals this weekend. It will be a match-up of the North and South, even if the opponent's name indicates that they are from the west.
No, California is in fact located in Pennsylvania, hence the eastern regional match-up... but really it will be typical north versus south, the north boasting the size and power, while the south... well they've got the wheels.
Senior wide out Jeffery Felton says,"I guess the south is known for speed, and we do have a lot of team speed, they have a tough defense, but we're going to give them a run for their money. It'll be a fun morning to see if they can catch up with us."

I can't do it anymore. I'm sick of losing fish!
I did not lose a fish but I lost one of the albino frogs. I looked into the aquarium to feed them and I noticed he had some red on the tip of his face..then I noticed how he was stuck. SOME HOW i can't understand how he did because it's like..almost impossible but the fake plant he some how got into a leaf part that wrapped around another leaf and he got stuck. Now I feel horrible because I was here all day and I did not look into the tank to see this. In my head now I feel like sh!t because while I'm doing stuff in the room, he was slowly dying and I could have prevented it! :( He was def dead. Stiff and eyes gone. I'm not getting any more fish or anything for the tank. I'm done with expanding. :(
I'm so sorry for your lost froggie. I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes we can only do so much, though. I have been neglectful and sometimes just ignorant and it has sometimes ended up fatal for a fish or a few. I'm hoping that I am learning from all this. Maybe next time you have frogs you can have live plants so they don't get stuck? I don't know anything about frogs so I can't really say much on that topic.
My experiences with frogs has not been good. For all the frogs I have kept, they all seemed healthy until they died. The only lead I had in their deaths was that I never saw them eat anything. Have your frogs been eating?
I'm so sorry to hear about this - But don't blame yourself, if this one had a suicidal agenda for today, he'd have done it with or without your help.
One of mine had once wedged his tiny FOOT into this LITTLE crack on the filter, even thou I managed to get him out again...he died, I assume a broken leg or so....
But don't let that get you down please!!! Look I'm having serious troubles in my new 55g and I also never had troubles in the past, now I have sick & dead fish, algae outbreak from hell...so if YOU are quitten then I should quit battling it too then shouldn't i!?
Don't do it *hugs*

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
For me, I've added the code to 3 new sites that are not yet listed in google search, so no impressions yet of course. I noticed a big decrease in my account's EPC and eCPM. Could that be related?
When do you start adding adsense code? and why?
I see no problem in adding Adsense to a new site as long as you do not visit your own site. Of course, I will not be earning much from this new site as the visitors to this site are coming from my other sites that are indexed by Google. It seems to me that Googlebot nowadays is very slow to index my new web sites. Yahoo! and MSN seem to be faster in indexing new web sites.
a) It takes time to build enough content and earn regular visitors trust and natural SE traffic.
b) During this time, ads are not generating enough earnings to justify their existence
c) Most importantly, I have observed other webmasters are less likely to link to your site if it has ads on it, call it envy, I don't know, some do, but most don't.
d) What has previously discussed here about account wide eCPM, and I am not ready to risk it.
Others do it differently from day one, to each his own method, that's just my way.
In fact, I practice this myself.
There are many types of content, some of which are:
* Adsense fluff
* Research, not for profit
* Non-commercial blog posts and tech tips
* Good site that someone put adsense on
Often they deal with the same matter, but the research and depth of #2 is vastly superior to what is often an article written by some webmaster who just picked a niche and started writing.
#3 can just be interesting, if brief.
#1 is the same article that was written for adsense before about another subject, and will be written again about yet another subject. Same tiresome keyword repetition, same lack of depth.
