Let me talk for a minute about Warsaw, where I am attending the COP19 conference. It's my first time here, and I'm really taken with the beauty of what has become a very modern city with old-world charm, and with the warmth of the people. But more than that, I have to say I love what the government and other organizers have done with this conference. They have made a potential logistical nightmare as smooth and impressive as their ability to handle all the z's and w's in their language.
I'm aware of the demonstrations and controversies. There are always controversies on these occasions, when everyone has an interest and everyone has an opponent. The CCAC has its share of opponents, too. That's part of the democratic process. But a meeting like this can result in a lot more pain than is necessary if people are frustrated because they can't figure out where to go.
But Poland has taken care of that part very well. Walk anywhere in the labyrinth of offices and meeting rooms at the National Stadium, where most events are being held, and you will find someone to help you. Sometimes every few feet. That's no small thing when there are a dozen essential tasks that you needed to get done an hour ago, and you don't have time to figure out the color-coded map. There is virtue in overstaffing at a time like this. Not to mention training. There is a minimum of shrugs and a maximum of "Yes, I know where that is" or "I know where you can find that out." A little help makes a big difference.
This is a new blog. And, perhaps surprisingly, given the nature of the problem this partnership of governments and organizations is tackling, a positive one.
You can trace that positive approach back to the origins of the partnership. The CCAC is not only voluntary, and it's not only committed to its cause. It's about doing something to reduce emissions while addressing issues of climate change, air quality, public health and food production. That's saying a lot for a group like this, let's face it.
First, it's driven by governments and a United Nations program. In a lot of people's minds, this is not a recipe for efficient action.
Second, it's addressing one of the thorniest problems facing humanity, how to reduce emissions of pollutants that are widespread and historical, with the activities that produce them in many cases deeply entrenched. It's understandable that people might want to throw up their hands and declare the problem insoluble.
Third, the CCAC has a tiny staff that is constantly overworked and scattered among several cities in Europe and Africa.
But the CCAC has defied the preconceptions so far. As one of its founding partners—Lena Ek, Sweden's Environment Minister—said some time ago, "We're not just a coalition of the willing. We're also a coalition of the working." Anyone who wants to talk gets a respectful hearing. Talk is important, because you have to have agreement. But action has to follow, or the talker risks getting left behind.
I'm writing this while attending a number of interesting events and meetings at COP19 in Warsaw. There's a lot of talking here, including by CCAC and its partners. Still, it's refreshing to be part of a global group where speechifying is kept to a minimum.

DENVER (AP) -- Jorge De La Rosa pitched six strong innings to win his sixth consecutive decision, Todd Helton homered and the Colorado Rockies snapped the Los Angeles Dodgers' six-game winning streak with a 7-5 victory on Wednesday night.
De La Rosa (16-6) allowed two runs and six hits in matching his career high for wins in a season and tying Washington's Jordan Zimmermann for most wins in the National League. De La Rosa went 16-9 in 2009 for the Rockies.
Colorado built an early lead off Edinson Volquez, who was making his first start for Los Angeles after being signed last week by the Dodgers following his release by San Diego.
Volquez (9-11) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings in falling to 0-5 in six starts against Colorado this season.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.---An Edgefield man is in jail and charged with strong-arm robbery. The Aiken County Sheriff's Office says Dennis Key grabbed money from a register at the S&S truck stop in North Augusta.
He took the cash when an employee opened the register to make change, and was caught by deputies about an hour later.

Reader comment on: 'It's Your Fault': U.S. Gets the Israel Treatment Over Iran
Submitted by Paardestaart (Netherlands), Feb 10, 2012 13:29
Well, yeah..We're all going to get the Israel treatment from now on.
From now on whenever there is unpleasantness with the natives we are all going to be reprimanded and chased in to a corner by someone impotent but safely up on high somewhere, now the idiotarians have gained the upper hand in the USA as well..Obama and his cronies want to be luved, they want to be a country like every other, just like the Israeli left feels they can be jews luved by arabs if only they stop being horrid oppressors, and no one, but nobody wants to be grim, grown up and responsible anymore.Well, and the rest in the west has been crazy for years already: they are even now still partying and Occupying things, singin Blowin' in the Wind waiting for the times to change.
Well, I'm afraid they are about to be surprised, and they are going to have to put their devalued money where their mouths are. They are going to have to submit - to basically anyone who decides to come walking through their door..Because our American soldiercousins standing at our gates have all left, 'cause we said we hated them for being triggerhappy stupid cowboy yanks..Who needs an Uncle Sam with his shotgun and his big bulk keeping away those interesting kids with the hungry eyes prowling about the house?
Of course now the pauperkids come crawling in, and they won't leave, and they brought their older brothers, their uncles and their fathers, and their sisters and mothers are checking out the beds and the wardrobe closets..
All that is left standing between us and the bad guys is tiny,despised and put upon Israel...If the jews succeed in thwarting Iran's wishes they will be censored, boycotted and hated; if they don't we are toast, as are they, and what is left will remorsefully wipe away a tear, and vow Never Again, or somesuch loftyness
We wouldn't be in these desperate straits if we had stopped replying long ago, and kicked out the traitors in our midst.

Hi all!
It's been a while since my last thread, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working. As you can probably imagine, I've been working on the exact same world I've done all my other maps about. I kinda feel my "Twin Kingdoms" map is finished now (wow, I should make a finished map thread, shouldn't I?), and now I'm going in deeper detail. My current project: a city map of the capital of the eastern kingdom: Cailltir. (don't worry about the castle in the lower right hand corner - it's a WIP!)
Cailltir is a large city, especially to late medieval standards: it's about 4.8 km² (1.9 sq mi) in area and, with a population density similar to London's in the late 14th century (106 people per acre according to this source, which is about 26,000 per km²), should boast a population of roughly 126,000 people.Now, I'm not sure I will keep these figures, as they all depend on the scale of the map. At the moment 1 pixel equals 1 meter. However, if for some reason or other I decide to double that (1 px = 2 m), it would mean a quadrupling of the area and thus the population, clocking in at a nice half million. Which doesn't sound bad at all for the capital of such a large kingdom. Still, as it is now, I prefer to keep the official scale of 1 meter per pixel - unless of course you think that doesn't fit with the dimensions of the city blocks, street widths etc etc etc!
The way the map looks now, is actually based on a Pyrandons fabulous tutorial. However, while he obviously succeeded in drawing in decent-looking alleys and backyards, my insight in scale and reality is apparently somewhat off. Most of the building blocks in the map above turned out to be only about 20 meters wide, there's only 2 street widths on the entire map, sharp corners are all rounded on the outside due to the roundedness of the brush and... well, there's tons of other things wrong with the dimensions and style of the map as well.
So I basically decided to start over. And this time, I took a peak at feanaaro's amazing B&W city map. That was the style I wanted.
Now, since Cailltir is a fairly big city, and considering the massive scale of my map (1 meter per pixel, remember?) I thought it best not to do it all in one humongous file. I've started creating submaps for every district, beginning with the oldest part of the town. This is what I have at the moment:
What do you think? Am I on the right track, scale and roadshapewise? If so, I can continue with the rest of the districts.

I had a woobly wheel a while back and fixed it with your advice, but it has returned and I need some more advise. I think I have discovered the problem on the rear wheel the piece that holds the bearings in opposite the crank (sorry I dont know the name for it) its a circular piece, but its slightly bent at the top I think this is causeing the bearings to jam which force the piece to spin and makes the wheel wobble. If you understood that do you think thats whats causing it?
Now if that is the case I need advise on procceding from there. Could I just buy a replacement for that peice or will I need a whole new axel set as was mentioned before. Also, a whole new wheel was mentioned as remedy, but if that is the problem a new wheel would not be the way to go right? Also should I replace it myself or have the LBS do it?
Thanks for your help.

2005 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Basketball Preview
2005 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Team Preview
In 2004 Georgia Tech made it all the way to the Final Four. Coach Paul Hewitt thinks this year's starters—4 sophomores and 1 junior—are more talented than the seniors who got Tech to the final phase of the Tournament two years ago. As they start this season Georgia has only one player left from that near-championship team of 2004. Looks like it's a new era for Yellow Jacket basketball.
The Yellow Jackets lost all five starters from last season. Together they averaged 62 PPG, while this year's starters contributed 17 PPG. This lopsided figure doesn't reflect a downturn in scoring potential but a lack of experience for the new top five. What can be expected from the prime front and backcourt of center Ra'Sean Dickey, guards Zam Fredrick and Mario West, swingman Anthony Morrow, and forward Jeremis Smith?
At 6'9" and 255 pounds sophomore Ra'Sean Dickey showed signs of breaking out last season, shooting 66% against ACC competitors; he needs to follow through this year for the Yellow Jackets to have success. Anthony Morrow, who has been a streaky player, certainly has the potential to lead the team in scoring while Mario West gives the club sure-handed ball skills and sound defensive work.
Jeremis Smith offers explosive power when healthy, but he has been troubled by knee problems. His knee has healed and if he stays healthy his game should improve steadily. Zam Frederick brings a lot of inexperience at point guard and that can be deadly to other teams.
For Hewitt the point guard position may offer the most challenges but he's certainly got his dance card full with every part of the court. There's definitely talent on this Yellow Jacket squad, but will they reach their full potential?
For more info on the 2005 Yellow Jackets check out the official Georgia Tech athletic site.

It's the middle of the week everyone, which means we're getting closer and closer to AVCon! Geeks in Adelaide including ourselves are getting more and more excited! :)
Alright alright, lets plow through today's post!
First up for today we have alpha video footage of game-in-progress Bad Dudes 2- an official sequel to a classic arcade game. Seems to be coming along quite nicely so far! There are still two weeks to pledge for this to make it a reality, so get on it!
*Warning: the next video may contain offensive language!
Cinemassacre have been very busy as of late with the Angry Video Game Nerd movie, but they have still found time to bring out new episodes of the series. I for one get very excited when a new episode comes out and this one should be no exception. In this episode the Nerd delves into old video games based on films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Check it out yo!
The following game is a scam! I'm mentioning this as a warning to you all so you don't get to see your 99c disappear.
Naughty Dog has released Super Galaxian for the iOS. Now I know what you're thinking. Naughty Dog? Really? They're famous for classic titles like the Uncharted trilogy on the Playstation 3, the Crash Bandicoot franchise and of course Way of the Warrior on the 3DO. So why would they release Super Galaxian? That's because they didn't. It's another company bearing the same name. I wasted 99c to download the game, but at least I can warn you all STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM IT!
Super Galaxian is on the App Store for now. That is before it gets pulled down for being a scam app, or for the actual Naughty Dog company to make it clear that they're not responsible for this game.
Alright, consider the next news item to be rumour more than anything, but over at The Sonic Super Zone there are reports of a few domain names being purchased along the lines of Sonic Adventure 3. There are a few interesting things to consider here: Sonic Generations came out last year; Sonic Adventure also came out after for the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network; Sonic Adventure 2 has been announced recently for the new-gen consoles and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 also came out recently. Should there be a new Sonic Adventure? I think the question is more: "Should there be a new Sonic game?" I say yes!
And now to end today's post with some nostalgia. Well, more nostalgic than usual perhaps? ;) Back in 1976 before Star Wars and before there was the Atari 2600, there was Atari Video Music. Now what in the heck is that you might ask? Well, it's a visualiser for your music which hooks up to your stereo and television. They're rare and very hard to find, but are very cool gadgets! I mean sure we're privileged to have Visualiser plugins and what not included with most music playing software on our computers nowadays and even games consoles. As actual hardware it's amazing! Especially considering the inspiration the creators had when they created it… ;)

I am 20 and sexually active. I don't have a long term partner but have had and do have various partners. I have an IUD so I'm protected against pregnancy, however I know condoms are still hugely important. My problem is that I am completely stuck for what to say to make a man put one on. At the moment, it's just getting carried away then really kicking myself later. I have to be more diligent with this, but please- do you have any advice for laying down the law? A non awkward, but still sexy way of asserting myself?
My boyfriend is transexual and often likes to express it. I'm completely fine with this kind of lifestyle but I find myself becoming nervous/distant when he brings it up too much. How should I become more comfortable with it?
As a sex educator, I don't define sex as only being about penis-in-vagina intercourse, for a whole lot of reasons.
For one, I know that a lot of people (including myself sometimes!) have or have had satisfying, full sexual lives without intercourse, either because they're not at intercourse yet in life or a given relationship, it's off the table for a while for some reason, or because they're in relationships where penis-in-vagina sex just isn't an option or possibility in the first place. I also know, as a sex educator, that some or all of the physical and emotional things that can happen with penis-in-vagina intercourse can and typically do happen with other kinds of sex, whether we're talking about emotional feelings or experiences, the human sexual response cycle, the expression of sexuality in general or possible outcomes like STIs or pregnancy. The way I define sex as a sex educator is like so:

If we say someone is having sex, or doing something sexual, we mean they are acting
I'm Asexual and currently engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman. She really wants to have sex, I'm not really into it. We've done other things I really like, like making out and heaving petting. How do I tell her that I don't want to sleep with her without making her feel inferior, undesirable and bad about herself? I'm scared to hurt her. Should I just compromise and sleep with her?
Heya: so I have always had really strong principles when it comes to sex and relationships. I always envisioned myself with a nice, steady boyfriend before I would do any more than just kissing. About a month ago I was at a party and out of pure curiosity (not drunkeness) I made the decision to let a boy finger me, but I didn't really know him very well. At Christmas I let another boy finger me who I didn't know (again this was a conscious decision I wasn't drunk). But now I just feel sooo slaggy because it is against what I believe in and I feel so awful in myself. Am I right to feel like this, where should I go from here?
This may get a bit vivid. Be warned. I have a twisted sexual history. After being molested at age 5 and again at 14 I somehow allowed myself to get taken advantage of and used in regards to sex. It took me many years to heal and much pain to get to where I am now and I can have a healthy sexual experience with my current boyfriend. I stayed at his house when he was renting a room out of a bachelors pad and I understood and accepted that Playboy magazines were on every toilet and the toilet seats were always up. One day he came to the kitchen with a boner kissing on me and whatnot, a short while after I went up to the bathroom where he had been showering and found a Playboy open. Are you kidding me? How dare he have the audacity to come to me with a boner he got from a slut in a magazine? It was talked about and made clear I am not comfortable with that whatsoever, he should be loyal to me mind body and soul, and I should be enough for him; as it is likewise.
It's been months since then. I found some porn videos on his phone yesterday and it really repulsed me. I get dressed up for him, I go down on him, I put out frequently. We do get kinky. Now the reason this video offended me so much is I do let him [ejaculate] on my [breasts]: its a thrill for him. In this porn video there's a girl who looks like me, disturbing enough as is, and shes giving a guy a blowjob till he [ejaculates] on her [breasts], then she turns to the next guy and does it again. Screen changes and she's [having intercourse] from behind and he [ejaculates] in her, then she crawls forward and starts giving another guy head as yet another comes up to [have sex with her] from behind as well. TOO FAR. It's not your basic porn scene, and it bothers me that its a twisted repulsive obscene image of something him and I share intimately. We've just moved in together and I can't imagine ever letting him see me naked again. I feel like he twisted our passionate and beautiful sex into some perverted expression of his twisted fantasies.
My boyfriend and I have been going out for more a than a year now and we have grown extremely close. We use to have sex regularly and then he just kind of halted it. I want to have sex but he does not want to because of the potential of pregnancy. I suggest using condoms but he still refuses. Is there any way I can convince him to have sex again or will it seem like I am desperate? Please help!
I am 15 years old and I have only made out once. I do not know the person I made out with, and I don't exactly remember what it was like. I want to make out with more people, but I am afraid I will not be good at it, I also don't want to embarrass myself with the person I do make out with. Another thing is, what if the person I do make out with tries to do more with me than I am ready? What should I do and how do you recommend getting over these fears of mine? Thank you!
I'm 18, and I've been sexually active for about three years. I met my current boyfriend in August of 2010 and we've been inseparable since. He just celebrated his 21st birthday. My problem is, my mom seems to think I'm her angelic, virginal teenager. (I'm one of five kids) She doesn't know I'm dating or that I'm not a virgin. Before I go away to college, I'd like to come clean to her. I'm just not sure how to do that without shattering her image of me completely, though it seems inevitable. So, how do I begin to tell her?
I've been in a relationship with my current boyfriend for a year now, and we've been having sexual intercourse for around 8 months. Throughout this time, I have NEVER reached an orgasm through sex, but because I thought I was the weird abnormal one, and was afraid of how my boyfriend may react, I since have faked it every single time which we have had sex. Sex is alright, but I now just want to tell him. But how do I explain to him that this isn't his fault without him being hurt and upset? Please help me because I really don't know what to do!

Boxer shorts are a loose fitting under garment worn by boys and men. They have been popular in the UK for many decades, particularly with teenage boys and young men. Most boxer shorts are designed with a "fly" at the front, so that they do not have to be removed when going to the toilet. The fly is usually closed up with buttons, or sometimes a zip, but increasingly, boxers have an "open fly" design whereby there is a flap of structured fabric which covers the hole but can be moved out of the way when needed.

Service Members and Private Organizations working in tandem
July 7, 2014
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska - As the summer season in Alaska continues in full gear and Soldiers here seek the adventure that is unique to "The Last Frontier," they have to be cautious of gifts and endorsements they may be offered for their service to our country.
The Army is guided by many regulations. Common regulations many Soldiers are familiar with are Army Regulation (AR) 350-1, Army Training and Leadership and AR 600-9, The Army Weight Control Program. While these regulations offer clear guidance on what is expected of Soldiers, some regulations require interpretation and better understanding. Some even require legal counseling.
Likewise, the Office of Government Ethics has established standards of conduct that apply to all U.S. government employees. Within the Department of Defense, these principles are guided by the Joint Ethics Regulation (JER); DOD 5500.7-R.
U.S. Army Maj. Elisabeth Claus, the brigade judge advocate for the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, said, "One of the primary rules is that public service is a public trust requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and ethical principles above private gain."
The JER is made up of the 14 General Principles of Ethical Conduct and Executive Order 12731. President George H.W. Bush signed the regulation in 1990 to revise the President's authority over employees of the executive branch in order to clarify laws that could cause a conflict of interest.
According to Claus, it's important for Soldiers at the junior level to learn about ethics and remember that the JER applies to everyone, regardless of rank. She said understanding the principles of ethics becomes more important as a Soldier progresses to higher ranks and the need to avoid an appearance of impropriety becomes more significant.
"As they grow more senior in rank, their actions become more visible to the public," Claus said.
In the past, the Army and many organizations have partnered to provide support to one another. There is no black and white rule that says one may not have any interaction with an organization, but there are specific rules about how the Army is allowed to interact with private organizations.
"As Soldiers progress through their careers, I just encourage them to start learning about the ethics regulations, and always seek legal advice if they have questions, and continue to enforce that in their formations," Claus said.
Claus also recommends the seeking of a legal and ethics review when participating with private organizations. Some examples which should be reviewed are a planned fundraiser, or active duty service members using their rank and service when identifying themselves in connection with private organizations.
"The advantage to seeking an ethics review from a legal attorney is no administrative action will be taken against somebody if they have received an ethics review from an attorney that approved the activity and told them this is in compliance with the ethics laws," said Claus.
Claus said that when it comes to active duty service members working with private organizations, it's important to remember that ignorance of the law is no defense.
"Like any other infraction, like a violation of a regulation or order, there are a variety of options a command can take from counseling to Article 15," Claus said. "It would be a case by case decision by the command."

Madagascar ground boa (Acrantophis madagascariensis)
|Also known as:
|Madagascar boa, Madagascar boa constrictor, Malagasy ground boa
|Boa de Madagascar, Boa des savanes de Madagascar
|Boa de Madagascar meridional
|Acrantophis (1)
|Length: Length: up to 3.2 metres (2)
The Madagascar ground boa is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1), and is listed on Appendix I of CITES (3).
The Madagascar ground boa (Acrantophis madagascariensis) is a relatively large, heavy-bodied, ground-dwelling snake. Its colouration comprises a pattern of brown, tan and black, helping to camouflage it against the leaf litter in its habitat (4).
The Madagascar ground boa is endemic to Madagascar, where it is found in the north and west of the island, up to elevations of 800 metres (1).
The Madagascar ground boa inhabits areas of humid and dry forest (1). It is found in both intact and disturbed habitats, including arable land surrounding villages (1).
A terrestrial species, the adult Madagascar ground boa is cathemeral, while juveniles are usually nocturnal. The diet of this species mainly consists of rodents, bats, tenrec (Tenrec ecaudatus), lemurs and ducks (1), which are killed by constriction (5).
All boas are viviparous, giving birth to well-developed, live young (6). The Madagascar ground boa gives birth to litters of between two and six young (1) after an eight to nine month gestation period (4). The newborn boa will immediately fend for itself and begin to hunt for food (5).
In some areas, people in Madagascar collect boas to consume as food. These strikingly patterned snakes have also been attractive to both the pet market and the leather industry, with reports of the collection of boas in the Marovoay area to supply a domestic leather trade (7). In some areas, the Madagascar ground boa is killed by humans as it is believed to be bad luck and predates on domestic poultry (1).
However, there is currently insufficient information available to assess the long-term effects of these threats to populations of the Madagascar ground boa, and as it is able to tolerate degraded habitats, this species is not currently considered threatened (1).
Due to their popularity in the pet market and the leather industry, large snakes have received particular attention by international trade regulation. The inclusion of the Madagascar ground boa under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) effectively bans its export from Madagascar and import into other countries (3). As long as international trade is prohibited or regulated, internal trade and consumption by humans is thought unlikely to constitute a serious danger to these animals (7).

I finished my undergraduate degree with the intention of returning as a postgraduate. I enjoyed doing my undergraduate dissertation and felt that I was sufficiently interested in my subject to embark on a PhD. It's hard to know quite what doing a PhD entails at that point, but I felt 'I had one in me' and the prospect of doing fieldwork in Portugal and researching my topic more closely excited me immensely.
Yes, I received a three-year studentship to cover my living costs and tuition fees from the School (worth £54,570 in total). I also benefited from the School Hardship Fund when I was struggling for money in the weeks leading up to me finally submitting my PhD thesis. To help with the costs of my fieldwork in Portugal, the Camões Institute awarded me an additional €1,500.
I studied as an undergraduate at Newcastle, going straight from school. I did a Bachelor of Arts in Government and European Union Studies (2002–2006), which included a year abroad on an Erasmus exchange in Lisbon. After a year working in Norwich and living at home, I returned to Newcastle in 2007 to undertake a Master of Arts in Politics (Research) and the following year I began my PhD.
I studied politics as an undergraduate at Newcastle and as I thought about postgraduate study it seemed logical to continue at Newcastle. I knew my potential PhD supervisors well, and they knew me, which meant that I was sure they could be relied upon to help me through the process of applying for funding and developing my PhD research proposal.
Over the course of my MA year, I worked closely with my supervisors to secure the School studentship, without having this good working relationship already established it would have been hard to get my proposal developed to a sufficiently high standard.
Those reasons kept me at Newcastle University, and the fact that as an undergraduate I really enjoyed living in the city of Newcastle, it meant that I didn't really consider anywhere else for my postgraduate studies. Maybe now it's time for somewhere new, but if I could settle in the North East I would be more than happy to do so.
All the staff in Politics, not just my supervisors, are immensely supportive and frequently offered me advice on everything from teaching to how to approach my viva. It's nice to have a team of mentors and it made me feel like I was more of a colleague than a student.
The teaching and library facilities at the University are excellent. It is a great place to be a young researcher, there are guest seminars every week and I had many opportunities to present my own research also. The Public Lectures Series also has a varied range of speakers, including some big names in politics. Over the course of my PhD many people who I cite in my work have come to Newcastle to give talks, so it's good to get the opportunity to meet them, and question them, in person.
The Faculty provides research training courses to help you to sharpen up your data collection skills, courses on how to do qualitative and quantitative analysis and tips for editing, submitting and defending your thesis. These are all things which are useful to have both during your PhD and beyond. As a PhD student I had my own desk in a shared office and was given a free laptop, which is still working after being on continuously for the last four years!
There is an enormous range of clubs and societies in the University, definitely something for everyone, not to mention dance, yoga and keep-fit opportunities in the city if that's what you're into. In Politics, there is a vibrant postgraduate community, who instigate regular trips to the pub and film nights with free pizza.
The city and the University campus have changed dramatically since my arrival as a fresher in 2002. Changed very much for the better in my opinion! Even after ten years I'm still finding new places to enjoy, such as Chinese supermarkets, pubs I never knew existed, but it's still nice to occasionally take the Metro to Cullercoats and walk down the beach to Tynemouth. Over the years I have lived in Jesmond, in the City Centre and in Gosforth – they all have their charms!
I hope to stay in academia and will be looking for post-docs and lectureships, principally in the UK, but I'm not going to limit myself to this country if opportunities should arise in Europe or North America. I'm sure in years to come Newcastle will welcome me back with open arms to present my research and to hear how I am doing.

Your Cheatin' Cart
The problem with Hummer's new ad.
3. What about the poor dog? We see it left abandoned in its now-useless doghouse, peering sadly through gaping holes where the slats the kid stole used to be. Conclusion: The Hummer kid hoards earth's precious resources, sating his own vanity at the expense of less fortunate, voiceless members of society.
Of course, some will love the shameless Hummer kid and his take-no-prisoners, win-at-all-costs individualism. Not coincidentally, these are the sort of people who buy Hummers. It would make no sense for the company to aim this spot at folks craving a quiet, go-along-get-along image, because those people aren't buying 40-ton cars. The Hummer kid is a me-first kid, and the Hummer is without doubt a me-first vehicle.
But the company tries to have it both ways. By showing us that the kid has devised a novel race strategy, worked hard to build his ramshackle entry, and gotten ridiculed at the start line, Hummer tries to steal back a little respect and good will. The ad also lets the Hummer buyer spin his purchase as an act of clever outsiderism, recasting his inner bully as a scrappy underdog. It failed to convert me, but then I drive a 1992 Honda Accord.
As the kid crosses the finish line, the Who sings, "And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy," and that's an appealing notion: No one can stop me from being happy, once I've got my Hummer. No one, I tell you! To my eyes, though, as the kid closes out his no doubt soon-to-be-disputed soapbox victory, he looks less happy than determined and grim.
Grade: B. Probably the most memorable car ad since Volkswagen's "Mr. Blue Sky" spot. Points off for moral bankruptcy.

Amtrak Proposes High Speed Rail to Take Riders from NY to Philly in 37 Minutes!
Posted By Molly Cotter On July 20, 2012 @ 3:50 pm In Infrastructure,Transportation | 2 Comments
While officials on the west coast of the US solidify plans for their high speed rail line [2], the east coast is hoping not to be left behind. This week, Amtrak [3] announced their hope to create a train line capable of running at 220mph to take New Yorkers to Philadelphia in just 37 minutes [4] and to Boston and Washington DC in roughly an hour and a half (instead of the current 3 or 4 hours). Amtrak's proposal also includes direct links to airports in major cities like Newark [5], Philadelphia, Baltimore, and White Plains, New York [6]. The only snag in this master plan is the astronomical price tag of $151 billion, but considering the amount of time and fuel that could be saved, it may be well worth that figure.
In the US, railways are mostly funded by federal and state governments [8], which would need to contribute the lion's share of the moneys to get the ball rolling on a project like this high speed rail. Unfortunately, with the government's laundry list of programs to fund, $151 billion may seem like a very high cost, particularly when building a new high speed rail may not be top priority. While the project waits to see if government assistance is even possible, Amtrak does have the Acela Express [9] train that reaches up to 150 mph but hasn't been upgraded in nearly a decade. We agree with our friends at Treehugger [10], however, that the new railway would greatly increase travel and commerce between powerhouse east coast cities and create tons of jobs!
If the proposal is approved and funded, we can all look forward to zooming up and down the coast in 2040.

LOS ANGELES—You have probably heard the name before: Habitat for Humanity. What exactly is the organization, though? What does it do and how does it serve the community?
"Since 1990, we have built and rehabilitated more than 400 homes in neighborhoods all across Los Angeles County and more than 700 globally. Shelter is a basic human need and Habitat for Humanity strives to achieve its goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, sustainable and affordable housing a reality for everyone."And volunteers are very much wanted! The organization thrives through the generosity both of volunteers who give their time, and those who volunteer supporting funds. "Volunteers are the heart of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles," Kelly explains. "Thousands of volunteers lend a hand to build and rehabilitate homes with us each year. HFH GLA brings together individual and group volunteers to ensure that everyone can live in safe, decent and affordable housing."
Volunteers can sign up online to volunteer at construction sites, in Habitat for Humanity offices, and in the group's ReStores. (The ReStore sells donated materials including new and gently used furniture, appliances, lumber, hardware, vintage and unique items to the public. All prices are at least 50% off retail value and all proceeds from the ReStore are used toward the Habitat for Humanity mission to end substandard housing worldwide.) No previous construction experience is necessary to volunteer.
Donations to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles are also tax-deductible and can be used to help Habitat for Humanity to fight poverty and the housing crisis and to empower the community as a whole.
There are various ways to support Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles. To learn more about this organization, one can visit habitatla.org or like the group on Facebook or follow it on Twitter.

What could this all mean? TWW.
Ok I had a very sharp pain in my right ovary on CD8 ( I know thats early and normally I feel the pain in my left ovary). My cycles range anywhere from 25-29 days, most often 25 and 26 days. Then on CD11 I had some period cramps in the evening which also never happens midcycle. I dont temp but I do know I had some EWCM on CD11, I didnt check CD8. From 1-3 dpo I had my NORMAL lotiony CM after O.... but now Im 5dpo and having very watery CM (not lotiony, pasty, sticky, white, or EWCM.) Just water. Normally I have lotiony CM from ovulation until my AF so this is really confusing. Anybody ever gone through this?

Green Lantern Review
"The Ring Intended To Rule Them All! Sadly, It Did Not Have Enough Will Power!"
June 26th, 2011
This was comic books next in line for Superman and Batman, the highly awaited main event to at least put more muscle in DC's line-up of superstars and yet every star collapses leaving an empty vacuum of darkness...sadly it wasn't its time!
I told myself and kept on repeating: this is a movie, not a comic book; this is a movie not a comic book and tried so hard to embrace the film's own point of view. Let alone to even grasp on what they did to the film since it was blown way out of proportion, the cannon, the history and the characters.
The prologue for me was epic until I heard him say things that were not in line and expected.
People will have to; need to understand that there will be different ways and means to present something to the market. I took it upon myself that this is only part of the process where you try to inculcate something and let it blow in the wind. Frankly, I did admire their efforts on making this film to make it the best thing that they can especially with the CGI and Green screen era, it has helped give more levity to magnificent backgrounds while inputting digital imagery to flow with its intended environment.
I did even remember a few other films that made headway or not with regards to available technology in their respective time Spawn is a good example another is Batman of Tim Burton and of course Richard Donner's Superman.
From the time it was announced, following news and casting for the film was a riot! This film was really expected to be great. For the fact that Ryan Gosling was being courted to be their Hal Jordan and from the likes of Justin Timberlake and rising star Bradley Cooper as runner-ups for the contested title.
With all the energy built into one goal, to make this film stand out, rock and light more films from DC to come!
Director Martin Campbell is highly regarded and I loved his work in Casino Royale but I believe he does not know anything about comic books! Even the action sequences were abysmal, the training in Oa, the people running and screaming, the helicopter crash party to name a few.
For the music and soundtrack it still holds its own. I can listen to the space saga infused collaborations that fit perfectly to the sequences of the film.
The cast was not even to blame Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong and the rest meant well and did their parts to make things work, to be honest I even find Peter Sarsgaard's portrayal as a villain to be innately creepy, it was good but did not have that charisma to make it linger more as a character.
Although, the love dynamic between the two main protagonists were inert, stressful and without any consideration, we can still call it a relationship even if it was flawed.
The bitter performances are Tim Robbins and Angela Basett, it was terrible, short and inadequate! Especially for the latter who plays Dr. Amanda Waller who is a pivotal character in the DC Universe.
When you read this review is looks like a reprimand on a losing team which breaks my heart in spite of all that was done, it was a huge disappointment and we do hope that there will be a little more light of will power to shine for a next Green Lantern!
The fear that will need to die is how they indoctrinated the Green Lantern Corps and yes, many did lost their lives for the common goal and that is to protect the universe from all evil... but what are they all doing in Oa most of the time?
Out of those 3600 Lanterns who seem always in the planet don't they have patrol duty or something?!?! Not just raising their arms, a gung-ho here and there being led by Sinestro as their Corp Commander!
I was even ecstatic to know that Mark Strong will play the role of the villain, he is one guy who can do this over a million times and that's how much I respect the guy.
To the main character, I believe he did his part but to make a side note, Ryan is technically a comedian he only did Amityville Horror and Buried as another way to expand his horizons. But to point out clearly, come on! He's always jumpy, yes I too laughed of his antics and that's what he brought to the screen but speaking of Hal Jordan as who he is...he will be better off with another person to handle the ring.
The CGI charade had eaten up all the possible story telling of the film. There were only a few moments that Green Lanterns were shown or used specifically Kilowag voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan and to Geoffrey Rush to give life to Tomar-Re. Even other reputable Lanterns were just screen shots.
All these things culminate and thus instil fear to the tent pole character the Cinematography of Dion Beebe (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha) and the Film Editing of Stuart Baird (Casino Royale, Superman). You're kidding right? Both these men help made films that were phenomenal, how on Earth or space for that matter did this film turn out this way?
To Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Michael Goldenburg and Michael Green all did the Screenplay and the Story itself. This montage was actually, literally built on bits and pieces that just needed to be welded up to make the whole picture, it became lame and without focus. From jumping into scenes that were all just mixed up!
It's about how the story and pacing went it was so bombarded by Special Effects and there was no room to let the actors shine or even redeem themselves.
One thing that should be questioned here is the involvement of a Guardian to be Parallax! That turned into a space spanning demonic squid that can even be compared to Hellboy's Ogdru Jahad and Fantastic Four's massive clod...I mean cloud Galactus!
Of course anyone would say that it's how the story should go... fine but it only proves shallow disposition on how a certain entity that made this universe tremble with fear has to be one of Oa's Guardians!
Another factor was, why did the Guardians had the power to forge a Yellow Ring? Ok it was given to Sinestro, but the story dictates it was the Weaponers of Qward who found the Yellow Energy in the anti-matter universe, forged the rings and helped Sinestro build his own Corps. You did not just kill the movie but the possibility of a very good sequel or sequels!
Speaking of which, why can they just have the origins and have the Manhunters serve as villains? Then follow through with Sinestro Corps and then the Blackest Night Saga? Just my two cents.
To Geoff Johns, are you happy? because you don't deserve it! You let this film crumble down like the inhabitants of Sector 666, you of all mentors of this project has lot of explaining to do especially to the fans who at least were trying to see a film that involves the trustworthiness of a comic book for a long period of time.

Holiday retro: A host of Christmas past
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- They're dreaming of a retro Christmas.
Shoppers of a certain age who wander through holiday displays at vintage and antique shops nearly always say the same thing. "Awww. I remember those. My mom/grandmother had one."
The shelves and displays are full of decorations of Christmases past. Holiday décor from the 1950s and '60s particularly appeals to Baby Boomers who grew up during the era of tinsel icicles and futuristic aluminum Christmas trees and color wheels.
Shiny aluminum trees sparkle in the windows of Purple Moon on Quarrier Street, a store that features mid-century modern furniture and accessories. Owner Chuck Hamsher sells only trees made in the 1950s and '60s, not reproductions.
The signature trees were made from materials developed during World War II. "They were looking for new uses in postwar prosperity," Hamsher said. Production started in the mid-1950s. As they gained popularity, Aluminum Specialty Co. in Wisconsin churned out thousands of the Space Age trees, retailing for about $25 each.
Hamsher sells the vintage shiny trees for between $125 to $400. A 7-foot pink aluminum tree produced in the mid-century recently sold on eBay for $3,600.
"They've gained popularity in the past 10 years or so," Hamsher said. "They remind Baby Boomers of their childhoods."
Safety concerns prohibited traditional strings of electric lights on the trees' metal structures, but a well-aimed light and rotating color wheel illuminated the shiny branches.
A Christmas special that aired in 1965 is credited with the downfall of the aluminum trees. After Charlie Brown lamented the commercialization of Christmas in "A Charlie Brown Christmas," sales of the aluminum trees plummeted. Fresh or artificial green trees resurged in popularity and the "Tin Tannenbaums" were considered tacky.
Whether fresh or aluminum, many trees sported a mixture of traditional ornaments made before World War II, newer, more durable plastic ornaments and brightly colored bulbs mass-produced by companies like Shiny Bright. Strings of bubble lights and lights set in foil flowers replaced strings of large colored bulbs.
NASA's first manned flight in 1961 and the development of the atomic bomb inspired Space Age themes and designs in everything from ornaments to serving pieces.
Pre-electronic toy lists
Boys spent hours setting up battlefields with the legions of inexpensive green plastic army men. They strategically positions tiny football players on a field that vibrated and moved the players arbitrarily. Larger-scale Tonka trucks provided outdoor dirt-moving fun.
Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots came out in 1964. Everyone had a favorite, red or blue, and relished the sound of the opponent's head as it was knocked off. Repeated pushing of the button that operated the Robot's fighting arms often resulted in sore thumbs.
GI Joe, the original action figure introduced in 1964, offered a more palatable option for boys who didn't want to "play with dolls." The adventures, missions and fights that GI Joes endured at the hands of young boys made the scalps of many of the orange-haired versions look a little mangy.
Colorforms plastic adhesive toys, Play-Doh modeling compound and Etch A Sketches inspired creativity for both girls and boys.
Many girls wanted a Tiny Tears or Chatty Cathy doll for Christmas. Tiny Tears' face contained holes on either side of her nose that emitted tears when the doll's abdomen was squeezed. Chatty Cathy lived up to her name with a vocabulary of 11 phrases she would utter when a ring on a string in her back was pulled.
As children grew up, so did their doll habits. Mattel introduced Barbie, the original adult-figured doll, in 1959. Ken, her make-believe boyfriend hit the market in 1961. The construction of sturdy cardboard kitchens confounded many parents who put them together late on Christmas Eve.
Whole families gathered around their television sets to watch "The Little Drummer Boy," "The Littlest Angel," "A Charlie Brown Christmas," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," all released in the 1960s.
When they munched on holiday party food, it was often made with pre-packaged foods with international influences, partially as a result of returning GIs who tasted ethnic foods when stationed abroad. Chex Mix and onion dip, due largely to Lipton's introduction of dried onion soup mix in 1952, were popular. Dried beef cheese balls, cocktail wieners, devilled eggs, cheese puffs, stuffed celery and fondue might have been on the party menu.
Adult guests might have washed it all down with a Manhattan, martini, old-fashioned or Tom Collins. Children could have been served Tang, the powdered orange drink marketed as a Space Age treat.
Most people would have found their way to church services at Christmas. About half of Americans polled in the mid-century said they attended services regularly, but that number soared at Christmas, as it does today.
Other trends continue, or resurface, today as middle-aged consumers revisit the holidays of their youths and younger people appreciate the holiday icons of an optimistic period in American history.

eBay amends quarter results
Internet auction site eBay has revised its second quarter 2003 results downward following a judge's decision last week to uphold...
This Article Covers
Internet auction site eBay has revised its second quarter 2003 results downward following a judge's decision last week to uphold a verdict against the company in a patent suit.
eBay said it is amending its results to reflect an operating charge of $30m (£18.7m) and related tax benefit of $12.1m (£7.5m).
The company said that its net income for the quarter ending 30 June has been revised to $91.9m (£57.2m) from $109.7m before taking the charge.
The revision comes in light of a US court's decision to uphold a multimillion-dollar jury award given to MercExchange last May.
The jury originally ordered eBay to pay MercExchange and its founder, Thomas Woolston, $35m for violating patents related to e-commerce, but the damages were cut to $29.5m earlier this month.
eBay still believes the trial court verdict was incorrect and intends to appeal against the court's judgment.
The company also said that it was sticking to its previously announced third-quarter and fourth-quarter guidance.

Michael Phelps has qualified sixth-fastest in the 200-meter individual medley at the Beijing Olympics.
The American ended a golden day at the pool by winning his preliminary heat in 1 minute, 58.65 seconds Wednesday night, good enough to move on to the semifinals.
Phelps' teammate Ryan Lochte led all qualifiers in 1:58.15. Laszlo Cseh of Hungary, already a two-time silver medalist behind Phelps in the 400 IM and 200 butterfly, was third in 1:58.79.
Earlier in the day, Phelps claimed two more gold medals, making him 5-for-5 at these games, with world records in each victory. Overall, his 11 career gold medals make him the winningest Olympian in history.

John McCain brought it to President Obama's attention that a fleet of new Marine helicopters would cost the country about $11 billion. Yowsa!
Obama apparently agreed that the purchase, ordered initially by President Bush, should be put on hold.
Now, that's bi-partisanship.
Hey, I thought the new president's new ride -- dubbed the Barackmobile -- could fly?
Maybe that's the only thing it can't do!

Ok, you are coming into town for the Big East Tournament - or the America East Tournaments - and you are wondering what there is to do after having the Graham Central Station ice cream at DISH.
Well, to be brief there is a lot to do in our fair vacinity. And if you care to invest a few minutes to read along, all of your questions should be answered.
The following is a press release from our friends from the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau. These are the folks who do the brainstorming and the networking and lay the groundwork that will hopefully lead you the yellow brick road.
Of course, there is no yellow brick road. But there is Trumbull and Asylum and Allyn and State and Main and lots of other places to have a good time.
So read on
Hartford, the XL Center, the Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau (GHCVB), and the Hartford Business Improvement District (BID) are gearing up to host this week's BIG EAST Women's Basketball Championship Presented by New York Life Insurance Company, and the Hartford Hospitality Task Force is working to make sure that visitors have the best possible experience while in town. The XL Center and the City of Hartford are proud to host the nation's largest Division I conference from Friday, March 5 to Tuesday, March 9, 2010.
This is the seventh consecutive year that the BIG EAST Women's Basketball Championship will return to Hartford and the XL Center. All 16 BIG EAST teams will play in the Championship, with 15 games being played in five days.
The "HOOPLA" will begin when thousands of women's basketball fans start arriving for the Championship. The projected economic impact to the Greater Hartford region is over $2 million. Close to 2,500 room nights already have been booked by officials, athletes, cheerleaders and bands, and alumni groups from each school, with more being reserved by fans. Championship participants will be staying at the Hilton Hartford Hotel, Hartford Marriott Downtown, Homewood Suites Hartford, Holiday Inn Express Downtown, Crowne Plaza Hartford Downtown, Residence Inn by Marriott Downtown Hartford, Hartford Sheraton Hotel in East Hartford, Hartford Marriott Rocky Hill, and Courtyard by Marriott Farmington, and Crowne Plaza Cromwell.
The Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau developed a series of innovative on-line marketing and communication efforts and has been promoting the Championship and providing updates to participating schools and supporters. Working with the BIG EAST and the XL Center, the GHCVB developed an interactive new BIG EAST micro-site on its website, www.enjoyhartford.com/bigeast - this is the primary online communications resource for the BIG EAST, XL Center and other local partners to provide information to schools and fans about the games, event programming, fan events, and housing. Most of the schools' athletic websites are linked to this site which features a video welcome to Hartford from GHCVB President H. Scott Phelps and a promotional piece highlighting all the excitement surrounding the 2010 Women's BIG EAST Championship in Hartford. Twitter Feeds, Facebook updates, and up-to-the-minute weather reports also are new website features this year.
In addition, the Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau worked with BIG EAST staff to send e-campaign information to alumni offices at all 16 schools to promote hosting of alumni parties during the Championship. Monthly newsletter blasts featuring Restaurant and Attractions specials have been sent via eblasts to more than 6,000 alumni, students and fans of BIG EAST Women's Basketball.
Championship organizers are focused on promoting Hartford as a "destination" that offers a variety of leisure opportunities for the thousands who are making plans to travel here. The goal is to encourage them to book longer stays at area hotels and enjoy more of the region's restaurants and attractions.
The GHCVB is partnering with Peter Pan and DATTCO coach bus lines to offer trips to attractions nearby Hartford that include the Mystic Seaport, Downtown Middletown, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods Casino, Clinton Premium Outlets, the Yankee Candle Flagship Store, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and EMPOWER Leadership Sports & Adventure Center. Two, free guided bus tours of historic Hartford will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Most tours will depart from the front of the XL Center, more details are at www.enjoyhartford.com/bigeast.
