Altisource Portfolio Solutions Still Soars
Originally published on Friday, Oct. 25 at 10:06 a.m. EDT. I wanted to update Altisource Portfolio Solutions (ASPS - Get Report) for those who are fortunate enough to still own this monster! (As I have often reminded myself, I mistakenly failed to re-establish my long position when the shares traded down to $70 months ago.) Altisource reported a huge beat in revenue ($211 million, up 46% year over year) and profits (GAAP $1.42 a share, cash EPS $1.80 a share). Pretax margins leaped to 27%, leading to the earnings breakout, which was well above consensus).

LOS ANGELES — With his club stumbling, Rockies manager Clint Hurdle shook things up in a big way Saturday.
The club designated second baseman Jayson Nix for assignment, called up reliever Jose Capellan from Triple-A Colorado Springs to shore up an overworked bullpen, and moved Todd Helton up to second in the batting order.
Nix, the team's top draft pick in 2001, broke camp as the club's starting second basemen, but he hit just .111 with 12 strikeouts in 45 at-bats. Nix, 25, went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts Friday night. The Rockies have 10 days to trade, release or assign him to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Clint Barmes, hitting .321 with nine RBIs, becomes the primary second baseman.
Bringing up Capellan leaves the Rockies with just four bench players — utilityman Jeff Baker, catcher Chris Iannetta and outfielders Scott Podsednik and Ryan Spilborghs. It's a gamble Hurdle said he needs to take, especially after Friday night's 13-inning game against the Dodgers left the Rockies thin in the bullpen.
Citing a lack of timely, productive hitting, Hurdle also juggled his everyday lineup. He hopes moving Helton up from third to second can jumpstart the offense.
While Hurdle did not make a move with struggling starter Ubaldo Jimenez, he did have a talk with the right-hander, telling Jimenez he needs to pitch better his next time or lose his spot in the rotation. Jimenez lasted just 2 1/3 innings Friday night and had a disastrous third inning.

Normal vs Alternate Reality by Marksman104Watch
Alternate Reality Pair:
[Top Left:]
NCC-1701 Constitution Refit MK I, enhanced warp core integrated weapons systems, type II shielding, normal deflector assembly, new dual torpedo tube assembly, no hull armor. Function: Exploration
[Top Right:]
NCC-1701-A Constitution Refit MK II, additional outboard phaser banks (Mostly around saucer section) Upgraded hull armor, enhanced sensor nodes around saucer and secondary hulls, six torpedo tubes (four around main deflector) Type III shielding, upgraded warp core. Function: Exploration and Combat
Normal Time Line pair:
[Bottom Left:]
NCC-1701 Refit MK I, New appearance, new weapons systems, new sensor network, enhanced warp field matrix, dual torpedo tube assembly, upgraded deflector assembly. Function: Exploration
[Bottom Right:]
NCC-1701-A Refit MK II, New appearance, new weapons systems, new sensor network, enhanced warp field matrix, dual torpedo tube assembly, upgraded deflector assembly new interior design, new CPU system, slightly darker hull plating. Function: Exploration
So the whole point behind this was to demonstrate the KEY differences in the AR refit models compared to the Normal Timeline ones. As you can clearly see there are no differences between the normal Enterprise Refit and the Enterprise A other than the hull color and the registration number. However with the Alternate Reality there are some MAJOR differences between the two. The Refit looks to be more for scientific study rather than for combat whereas the 1701-A was designed more for fighting purposes, considering that the war between Earth and Kronos was coming to a rough end.
All four models were made by me.

Changes have been announced by the UK government as to which departments will have responsibility for food labelling policy. Three departments will now work together. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) will retain responsibility for food safety aspects of labelling. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) will retain its current responsibilities including marketing and eco labelling and will now also be responsible where labelling does not relate to food safety or nutrition. Those responsibilities relating to nutrition labelling will move to the Department of Health.
In more food labelling news; the European Parliament has recently issued new guidance. Out of the two chiefly proposed systems for front of pack labelling; MEPs have favoured the Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) scheme rather than the rival "traffic light" labelling scheme.
The GDA system displays calories and nutrients of foods in the context of daily consumption amounts. The alternative is the FSA endorsed "traffic-light" system which uses red, amber and green symbols in the context of the sugar, fat, salt and protein content of foods. Green indicators obviously mean more healthy than red. This is widely considered the most user friendly approach but has suffered criticism for being overly simplistic.
The winning scheme is still yet to be decided upon but this is a strong indicator of what the likely victor will be.
In a recent decision the Advertising Standards Agency has banned a company from using a "misleading" advert to promote its not so Scottish "whisky". The company is called Scottish Spirits but is based in Panama. The Scottish Whisky Regulations prevent promotion of a drink that might confuse the public into thinking a drink was Scotch whisky when it isn't.
The advert in question used a coat of arms which was similar in nature to those that Scottish Scotch whisky companies often utilise in their promotional activities. Notably the company in question did not claim the whisky was Scotch, but it was held the characteristics of the advert and images used were enough to constitute an infringement as the public would likely be confused if not actively misled into thinking the product was actually Scotch whisky.
Statistics published recently reaffirm that Scotland continues to drink more than every other part of the UK. The new attempt to control the country's consumption is the SNP's Alcohol Bill which contains a minimum pricing plan as its flagship proposal. In September this minimum price was given the figure of 45p per unit of alcohol.
Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon had spoken positively of the associated benefits in health and social issues. Figures of 4,200 fewer hospital annual admissions and an £83 million reduction in health care costs over the 10 year period were quoted. Despite this in early November the minimum price proposal was unanimously rejected by the Scottish Parliament. The Alcohol Bill was still passed and does include measures restricting advertising and promotional offers, the imposition of a "social responsibility" tax on licenced premises and an age verification requirement of identifying those under 25.
A US federal judge recently ruled that a case where Coca-Cola is being sued in the US over claims that their vitaminwater products make unwarranted health claims was to be allowed to go forth. The lawsuit brought by a non-profit public interest group, Center for Science in the Public Interest claims that vitaminwater labels and advertising are full of "deceptive and unsubstantiated claims".
Coca-Cola has defended these allegations by asserting that, "no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage". Interestingly, a can of coca cola contains 35g of sugar, and the vitaminwater 33g. Coca-Cola had argued that simply listing the sugar among the ingredients on its label was a sufficient disclosure. However, the flavours of the product including "defense" and "energy" have "the potential to reinforce a consumer's mistaken belief that the product is comprised of only vitamins and water," said Federal Judge John Gleeson (U.S. District for the Eastern District of New York).
The HMRC in their efforts to eradicate alcohol duty fraud have been busy since the coalition government came to power. Acting on its revised alcohol strategy the government has instructed customs officers to conduct searches and unannounced inspections on alcohol wholesaler depots. The checks were to ensure that all stock is accounted for and that the associated paper work is all in order.
Wholesalers could be fined for the duty on any stock that has no invoice. The price of Alcohol duty fraud is in the region of £1bn a year. Under the Government's initiative the entire supply chain is to be targeted.
The ongoing battle, now in its eighth year in the German courts between chocolate maker Lindt and their competitor Riegelein is evocative of a scene from Richard Adam's novel Watership Down with Lindt's chocolate bunny refusing to give up the fight.
Lindt is seeking to use its Community trade mark relating to the gold-foil wrapped chocolate bunny in order to prevent competitors selling similar products. Both Lindt and Riegelein now face another round in the Oberlandesgericht (OLG) Frankfurt after the Bundesgerichtshof (BLG) overturned a decision by the OLG which did not find any likelihood of confusion between the chocolate bunnies.
The OLG had held that there were sufficient differences in the colour, the presence of an external ribbon and the facial expressions of the bunnies in question. The BLG however stated that this rationale was insufficiently explained following evidence from a survey which suggested the public at large associated a gold bunny shape devoid of such characteristics with Lindt.
The battle between the bunnies continues.
As mentioned in our previous quarterly, the High Court had granted qualified injunction following the decision that Intercontential Brands' (ICB) product Vodkat was unlawfully passing itself off as Vodka. Diageo had brought the case on the basis that the product was not real Vodka but was using the Vodka name and image to promote itself to consumers.
ICB appealed, arguing that the decision was not correct as the law on passing off referred to was limited to products which had a status, meaning that they were perceived by the relevant public as being of superior quality. They argued that Vodka was not as such a premium product. Diageo appealed on the type of injunction granted.
The court of appeal agreed it was not a premium product, but said the law was not restricted to such products that are perceived by the public as having higher reputation. In addition the court upheld the appropriateness of the injunction granted.
The Home Office Consultation "Rebalancing the Licensing Act" has worried the Association of Convenience Stores. They believe proposed "ineffective" changes to licensing policy could cost convenience retailers sums in the region of £11m. In its response the ACS warned of the potential for "disaster" to local shops.
The consultation is seeking views on 26 changes to licensing policy including the introduction of penalties for underage sales offences, new fee raising powers and blanket restrictions on opening hours. Changes would require retailers to demonstrate the impact of their licence. The ACS believes that "cost based discrimination which favours larger companies" is the foreseeable implication.
Scottish exports on food and drink have reached an all time high of £4.06 billion. The stats soared by 6% in 2009; importantly food products as an independent category displayed a 20% increase over the year to £934 million.
While the largest proportion of Scottish exports came from export whisky sales, food was flying and seafood exports were in first place. An increase of 20% to £555 million was recorded. Europe is still the main destination for products with France the top export market. A large number of other markets are growing in demand including Russia and Germany. This is great news for the Scottish food and drink industry.
A 77 year old man was surprised when he heard from a Swedish friend that his image and most noticeably his "interesting beard" was being used in a yoghurt advert. His face was used by Lindahls to promote their Turkish style yoghurt in Sweden. Mr Minas Karatzoglis (the bearded man) is actually Greek and had no idea of the campaign never mind not having provided any consent for use of his image with the product.
Lindahls, the offending company reportedly paid Mr Karatzoglis two million kronor (around £185,000). Mr Karatzoglis initially sued the dairy company for a higher sum and claimed because of his Greek origin the use of his photograph on the yoghurt was clearly misleading. Apparently his beard draws a lot of attention and often pictures are taken of him.

MWW Automotive Reports Financial Results For Third Fiscal Quarter 2012
HOWELL, Mich., Aug. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MWW Automotive Group (OTCQB: MWWC), a global design, engineering, and manufacturing firm serving some of the world's leading automotive and industrial manufacturers, today issued its financial report for the Third Fiscal Quarter 2012, ending on June 30, 2012. The full text of the Company's 10-Q Report can be reviewed on the Company's web site at www.mwwautomotive.com in the investor relations section, or at the SEC website www.sec.gov. "As expected, our third quarter revenues for 2012 still do not appropriately reflect our current recovery mode status," states Michael Winzkowski, Chairman of Marketing Worldwide Corp. "As we have mentioned in our last press release, our team, led by our CEO Chuck Pinkerton, is meeting the recent changes in MWW's market and client roster head-on. Since the partial loss of our Toyota business, Chuck has made significant progress in securing new business, streamlining and expanding production, significantly reducing operating expenses throughout the Company and we have commenced with the production of several new automotive programs. Nevertheless, third quarter performance did not met our expectation yet, and at the end of the quarter we still had not reached the stage of revenue recovery that we had anticipated. On a month to month comparison though, we have seen good improvement of revenues in June and July over the two months before. We have been awarded several new projects in addition to our ongoing programs and believe that we now have a firmer grip on our new projects, expected revenues and the time lines involved. We expect our recovery and the associated financial performance improvement to take hold during the latter part of 2012 and beginning of 2013, with a return to profitability at the end of 2013, assuming sufficient and timely funding of current operations and start-up cost associated with newly awarded projects."Chuck Pinkerton, CEO of MWW continues: "We are now in full production on the Mazda MX5, Ford Mustang and Ford F150 with revenues hitting in the first quarter of 2013 and are also in final pre-production for our industrial program. Unfortunately, our automotive and industrial partners' engineering and pre-production process and their commitment to producing only the highest quality products has been more complex and time consuming than initially anticipated by them. Consequently, this has delayed the original launch dates of several new automotive and industrial projects for MWW and distorted our First and Second Quarter financial results drastically. Once all awarded programs have commenced with production, we expect these programs to provide consistently increasing revenues for the months and years ahead. This should also allow us to avoid further constraining debt financing and reduce share dilution going forward. Consequently, and in combination with our radical cost down exercises, we should not only improve revenues, but also improve gross margins and return the Company to profitability towards the end of 2013. "The entire MWW team is absolutely committed to making the rest of 2012 the beginning of the turn-around for MWW. We do expect that we will improve upon our second and third quarter performance beginning in the Fourth Quarter 2012 and the subsequent quarters ahead and to return to profitability during 2013."

"Waco, TX... my home for 4 fun filled years!" Top 5 Page for this destination Waco by ATXtraveler
Waco Travel Guide: 147 reviews and 298 photos
Waco is in central McLennan County about seventy miles south of Dallas near the confluence of the Brazos and Bosque rivers. The city's transportation links include Interstate Highway 35, U.S. highways 84 and 77, State Highway 6, the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and the St. Louis Southwestern Railway. The city is built on the site of an ancient agricultural village of Huaco (Waco) Indians. About 1830 a group of Cherokee Indians moved into the area and drove the Huacos from the village. Fort Fisher, a Texas Rangers outpost and the first white settlement in the area, was established in 1837, but was abandoned after only a few months. In 1844 George Barnard began operating Torrey's Trading Post No. 2 on a small tributary of Tehuacana Creek, eight miles south of the old Huaco village. A year later Neil McLennan moved onto land nearby on the South Bosque River. A log smithy was erected at the present site of East Waco in 1846 by Jesse Sutton, a blacksmith. In 1848 Gen. Thomas J. Chambers sold a two-league grant of land, including the old Waco village site, to John S. Sydnor of Galveston. Sydnor struck a deal with land agent Jacob De Cordova to divide the property and dispose of it at a dollar an acre. George B. Erath, who had first visited the area as one of the rangers stationed at the old 1837 outpost, was one of De Cordova's surveyors, and he urged that the new townsite be placed at the former Indian village. In 1848 the tract was sold to Nathaniel A. Ware and Jonas Butler of Galveston; they became De Cordova's partners in the venture.
Waco's economy recovered rapidly in the years just after the Civil War. After 1868 the town was on a spur of the Chisholm Trailqv used by cattlemen to drive steers to market, and cattlemen and their employees often stopped in the town to buy supplies and for recreation. By 1871 between 600,000 and 700,000 cattle had been driven through the town. Waco's economy especially began to boom after 1870, when the Waco Bridge Company opened a suspension bridge spanning the Brazos. Upon completion of the bridge, Waco was quickly reincorporated as the "City of Waco." In 1871, when the Waco and Northwestern Railroad was built into the city, Waco became an important debarkation point for thousands of prospective settlers headed west and the primary shipping point for a broad area. The town had many saloons and gaming houses during the 1870s, attracting cowhands, drifters, and others who helped earn the town the nickname of "Six Shooter Junction." A red light district called the "Reservation" also grew during this period, and prostitutionqv was legally recognized, licensed, and regulated by the city until the early twentieth century.
Waco became an increasingly important commercial center, during the late nineteenth century the city also attracted a number of educational institutions and in some circles was known as the "Athens of Texas." Waco Classical School, established in 1860, became Waco University in 1861 and in 1887 merged with Baylor University, which moved to Waco at that time. In 1872 the African Methodist Episcopal church opened Paul Quinn College. Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic school, was founded by the Sisters of St. Mary of Namurqv in 1873. Other private or sectarian schools, including Waco Academy, Waco Select School, and Leland Seminary, were also operating in the city at that time. Waco Female College was first established in 1856; it closed its doors in 1893, but by 1895 Add-Ran College occupied the buildings. Add-Ran became Texas Christian University in 1902.

Just love the suspension bridge and 1st skyscraper!! Love reading about the university and the sporting events. A very personal and well written group of tips. Your tip titles are so often smile-makers!
I never knew that Waco was named after the Waco Indian tribe. In fact I never knew anything about Waco at all. Thanks for including the historical background.
Love your tips...very informative. We only had a brief drive through...but did get a chance to visit the Texas Ranger Museum. Would love to return to Waco...
My new daughter-in-law is from Waco. Nice people.

Everybody need a couple pairs of taller socks if they plan on wearing a kilt out a few times a month.
Great for Highland Athletics, these are made from a blend of materials that breath and stretch for active feet. They are also tall enough to fold a nice 2" cuff at the top where you can attach your flashes(those things that poke out from under neath the cuff)
Note: flashes not included (pictured in red)
One size fits most!
Once you've added three pair of regular kilt hose to your shopping cart, you'll be given a fourth pair free in any color that we carry.
We now offer these in 11 colors, so you can find a good color to go with your favorite flashes!
Great Buy on the regular kilt hose in black. My son needed them to wear with his kilt to a banquet. Shipped quickly and got them on time. Will definitely purchase from Sport Kilt again.
Great socks. They are a good fit on my larger calves. Better than anything in the store. I would own every color if I could.
Comfortalble fit,
Comfortable and wash well.
The foot is of a thicker weave than the upper part. This provides good leg ventilation for active use but doesn't look as good for dressing up. Nice and soft!
We have loved this sight. You may pay for shipping, but go to the stores and you will pay MORE overall for the same quality product. THANK YOU for being there for our needs.
I wore the Kilt Hose for three hours for rehearsal and performance - Dancing! They didn't sneak down my leg over that time. Not once did I have to tug them up. Plus they're long enough for my big, bulging legs... all the way to the kneecap! MAP
As a folk dancer, I was looking for long stockings that would really go all the way up to my knee and stay there for a performance. Last weekend, I gave a pair of your kilt hose a tryout - for three hours, through a rehearsal and a one-hour performance plus the trip home, the stockings stayed up with no tugging. Throughout, they looked good too! More of our dancers will be buying them. Thanks! Mark
Like the other items I have purchase from Sport Kilt Really great. Thanks Chiam
Good quality, quick timing, GREAT Price!!! Thanks again

Fort Rucker Spouse Expo answers important questions
February 10, 2011
By Jeremy Wise, Army Flier Staff
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- The Army provides several support organizations for military Families, but with so many options, Family members may not know where to turn for help.
That is why Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff hosts the Spouse Readiness Planning Expo Feb. 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. at The Landing.
"The problem is we have so many resources, but they're so spread out," said Deborrah Cisneros, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence Family Readiness Support assistant. "This is to try to bring it all to one place so (spouses) can get the help they need."
Cisneros, who was one of the people who initialized the exhibition project, said about 10 groups will have representatives at The Landing to answer any questions about health insurance, identification card renewal, financial readiness or any other issue.
"Spouses should think of experiences they have. If they had questions, they can ask them," Cisneros said.
Groups attending the expo include Tricare, Staff Judge Advocate, Child, Youth and School Services and Army Community Service.
"The biggest thing they can get is resolution to myths about available resources. Secondly, they are able to ask questions," Cisneros said.
Curtis Williams, Mobilization/Deployment program manager and event organizer, said no program is organized but spouses can "go station-to-station and find out what's going on" with support resources.
"They can find out what they actually need for these resources," he said, noting when spouses leave the event, they will have a better foundation of knowledge about how the military supports their Families.
This is the first event of its kind at Fort Rucker.
"We need better tools to prepare our Families, and that's one way we are (helping)," Williams said.

Question: My husband and I have been separated for a while now. We haven't decided if we are going to get a divorce. Can my husband keep coming over to my home demanding to pick up property? Every so often he wants something else and all of it is something that we bought together. Does he get to decide for both of us what property he keeps and what property I keep?

Archived Story
Concerns voiced over minePublished 8:03am Sunday, March 17, 2013
The message was clear: Beaufort County residents have concerns, worries and fears about how the proposed operations of a pit mine near the headwaters of Blounts Creek would affect the creek and surrounding environment.
They voiced their concerns at a public hearing conducted by the N.C. Division of Water Quality on Thursday night at Beaufort County Community College. The auditorium where the hearing was conducted was nearly filled with speakers and observers.
Martin Marietta Materials is seeking permits to operate a pit mine east of the Wilmar area in southern Beaufort County. As currently proposed, the mine could discharge up to 12 million gallons of wastewater a day from its operations into Blounts Creek. That's what concerns many of the 22 people who spoke during the hearing. Several of the speakers said they do not oppose the mine, but they do oppose the plan for it to discharge its wastewater into the creek. They would prefer that wastewater put discharged into holding ponds or pumped into the underlying Castle Hayne aquifer at the mine site.
Other speakers questioned the accuracy of research indicating that discharging the mine's wastewater into the creek would cause little, if any, damage to the creek and the fish in it.
Belhaven resident Dick Hamilton, representing the Coastal Fisheries Reform Group and the N.C. Wildlife Federation, said the proposal would deplete the aquifer and degrade the water quality of Blounts Creek and other interconnected waterways.
"The stakes are too high. The risks are too great. So, let's don't roll the dice on Blounts Creek," said Hamilton, adding that the organizations he represents oppose issuing the permits to discharge wastewater into the creek.
Heather Deck, riverkeeper for the Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, said Martin Marietta Materials has not thoroughly considered other options when it comes to disposing of wastewater from the mine. She also said discharging wastewater into the creek would significantly change its pH and alter the species of fish in the creek, something the law prohibits.
"PTRF concludes that DWQ cannot approve the permit that changes the species composition of the water that is not similar to that of referenced conditions. Therefore, DWQ must deny the NPDES permit," Deck said.
Byron Bateman believes discharging the wastewater into the creek is not the right way to dispose of the wastewater.
"The introduction of up to 12 million gallons a day of fresh water will undeniably impact the physical, chemical and biological traits of Blounts Creek. … Blounts Creek occupies an ecological sweet spot within our ecosystem. The organisms that currently thrive here are in tune with that slightly acidic water. They're doing just fine there. The fish are doing just fine there. Everything is pretty good. They will be, undeniably, negatively impacted by the kinds of pH increase this discharge will bring about," he said.
After reviewing data and public comments related to the issuance of required permits needed to discharge wastewater from the mine site, DWQ staff will make recommendations to the DWQ Director Chuck Wakild regarding issuance of the permits, said Paul Rawls, a DWQ staff member.
The deadline to submit written comments on the proposal is April 12. Within 60 days of that deadline, the DWQ director will issue a decision on the state-required 401 water quality certification permit, Rawls said. Within 90 days of the deadline, the director will issue a decision on the federally required National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.

Additionally, I think it's vitally important to put restraints not on driving itself, but on the type and amounts of pollution that is permitted from motor vehicles.
Additionally, I think it's vitally important to put restraints not on driving itself, but on the type and amounts of pollution that is permitted from motor vehicles.
"Think Outside the Cage"
And by incentives I do not necessarily mean vague things like better and/or cheaper transit, nicer and safer infrastructure ...
I mean real incentives ... like free public transportation at certain times (i.e. weekends). Or like tax breaks for people who use public transportation. Or no retail tax on things like walking shoes and bicycles, and thus lower prices.
I grew up in NYC at a time when it was not cool for teens in my hood to ride bikes maybe not cool anywhere in the city.
What an idiot I was...waiting endlessly for the subway and buses at all hours and hitch hiking to the beach while all the time I could have had the freedom of a bicycle to explore my great city.
Probably wouldn't have gotten as many dates though......
Nonsense, LenA. Uncool kids get piles of dates.... especially if they're in good shape.
I rode bikes throughout high school in the 90s, during a decidedly "skateboard" time period. It seems like the approved disorganized sports for tens swings back and forth between bmx and skateboards, with trends specific to each discipline varying with each generation. I couldn't count on a board to quickly/easily get me a few towns over, so I was the kid with a bike with all skater friends. Still got dates, despite all of my other character flaws.
Couldn't we bump that up to say 5% instead? That would make that money more effective in a dramatic way. And seems like it still puts a big chunk of money (95%) to maintaining the car infrastructure. Then over the years keep giving more to alternative transportation to incrementally transform the infrastructure towards a cleaner life and preservation of natural resources.
Back in the 1960's many of us worked very hard to enact The Clean Air Act. And thank God we were successful. The air is now far clearer from made-made pollution.... because of our efforts and The Clean Air Act. But we also accidently created an entirely new industry of Environmental Activism. So now we have profit motivated false information out there about "car emissions" and other human activity.
I also shy away from the several hundred year old term "fossil fuel". Science has long ago determined there is no "fossil" associated with the term fossil fuel. Activism without intellectual honesty.... is merely a scam.
Now that my wife is finally living here in Canuckistan I am not driving back and forth to the United States, we have been driving more than we normally would of late as she is adjusting to a medication change that makes cycling problematic but once that balances out, we'll be back to riding pretty much anywhere that is within the city.
We keep the car for longer trips to see family and it does not take much out of our pocket as it is paid for, our insurance rates are low, and remains a very reliable and trouble free car.
After the accidental release (inside the government) of a discovery of life on Mars..... NASA sponsored a huge test that sampled oils from around the planet. No dinosaurs or ancient plant life was involved in making those petro fuels. Actually they seem to have been made in the same way as petro fuels are made on other planets.
This isn't new science. I thought it was common knowledge. I realize that some religious faithful refuse to accept current known science when it conflicts with religious beliefs. That's OK with me! I don't expect environmentalist to accept scientific knowledge that conflicts with their beliefs. But it can make it difficult to tip-toe around science to preserve the feeling of the religious faithful when discussing the environment.
My mother and I spoke briefly a couple times about cycling. She asked me about her acquiring a trike. My Mom is 90+ and hasn't ridden a bike in nearly 80 years. I think she gets bored with her workout routine at the gym she goes to. I think 90 is a fine age for cycling.... but maybe not the best time to take-up cycling.
As a retiree that cycles... I hope you and your wife have many, many years of cycling left. The later years can be the most fun for cycling.
If you have to holler intellectual honesty about something as benign as calling petroleum "fossil fuels", then please drop the Reagan inspired myth that volcanoes pollute more than cars.
Volcanoes and Greenhouse Gases - Do Volcanoes Generate More Greenhouse Gas Than Humans?
Which produces more CO2, volcanic or human activity?
From the second link.
"Gas studies at volcanoes worldwide have helped volcanologists tally up a global volcanic CO2 budget in the same way that nations around the globe have cooperated to determine how much CO2 is released by human activity through the burning of fossil fuels. Our studies show that globally, volcanoes on land and under the sea release a total of about 200 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
This seems like a huge amount of CO2, but a visit to the U.S. Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) website (http://cdiac.ornl.gov/) helps anyone armed with a handheld calculator and a high school chemistry text put the volcanic CO2 tally into perspective. Because while 200 million tonnes of CO2 is large, the global fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2003 tipped the scales at 26.8 billion tonnes. Thus, not only does volcanic CO2 not dwarf that of human activity, it actually comprises less than 1 percent of that value. "
And, while I could not find a link to the whole paper(its been a few years since I read it) in the few minutes that I have before I have to get to work, this is a brief abstract. Global carbon dioxide emission to the atmosphere by volcanoes
Its possible that some "inside Government" data that is not released to the world refutes this. I would not know about that.
This line of thinking could be seen as a restriction to driving in the sense that it often involves reallocating space that is reserved for automobiles so that is is shared with other road users. However, it is not a restriction in the sense that eliminates cars completely.
"Think Outside the Cage"
So far, bike lanes (in the US at least) are not installed unless a prior traffic study shows that there would be no negative impact or disruption on automobile traffic.
I would be in favor of trying out "disruptive" bike lanes on congested streets, at least on a trial basis in selected areas. It would be interesting to see if this would convert enough people to bike use to actually reduce congestion. It seems like this is currently being tried in London, if I understand the situation correctly.
"Think Outside the Cage"
But if you want to play read this stupid link... here this PROVES I am right. But for the record.... I hate the post stupid "links game".
You took a decent discussion to a new low in odd rants. I am out of here. Sorry if I offended your religious beliefs.
We really should be setting traffic signals to change on-demand for pedestrians regardless of the impact this has on the flow of cars. Let them wait on their couch while people walk right by them. Current traffic engineering standards don't count pedestrian wait time as a factor and consider any wait of over 85 seconds for cars to be a failed intersection. Eighty-five seconds is a typical wait at many of the intersections I cross as a ped, and I don't even have a couch to sit on.
I have mentioned before on this forum the large amount of angst in the media from motorists that is created when cycling gets incorporated into road and traffic discussion.
I will illustrate how the cycling movement has been used as a pawn (yet again), this time by local government to shift motorist angst away from that same local government to cyclists.
There is a main arterial road from a southern suburb of Hobart. It generally has a concrete surface (as opposed to asphalt). It is wide enough to accommodate originally some on-street parking as well as a lane in either direction where people could also ride bikes in a quite safe share-the-lane configuration.
Now, speeding of motor vehicles along this road has been problematic for decades. So the council decided that it needed to introduced measures to reduce the speed. One of these methods accepted in traffic engineering is to narrow the vehicle lane. So this idea was adopted. Then was to come a 50km/h speed zone restriction. All fine and dandy (although to my mind, permanent speed cameras on the road and a reduction to the 50km/h speed limit would have been a cheaper and more effective solution).
Now, to create the narrow lanes, there were installed several kilometres of bike lanes. This served two purposes. Yes, it gave cyclists a compulsory (as in, they are legally required now to ride in) sanctuary, and shifted the blame for the slowing of traffic away from the council and on to the cycling community.
This all might have been fine, except that special efforts were made to ensure on-street parking was still available along the route. So the bike lane meanders along in and out, and the old door zone issues still remain (but remember, cyclists are now legally required to ride in that door zone).
I've ridden along that road in its original configuration for years without problems. The issue for me, as a rider, always has been the on-street parking of motor vehicles (this area has unrestricted hours on parking).
The proper and retrained use of an automobile, in this situation, is actually to park it off the street. I picked up on this concept years ago -- that the roads and streets are meant for transportation purposes, not free and unfettered parking of cars. Planning scheme for building require off-street parking provision.
Of course, people (particularly in this toffs suburb that I am writing about) have enough money to buy two or three vehicles, and have to park one or two of them on the street. For heaven's sake, there's even a big darned power oat that has been parked semi-permanently on the road.
For me, I don't really care about the cars moving on the road. The major issue is in fact on-street parking that reduces useful lane widths so that sharing the lane with enough room with cars is almost impossible. From what I can remember when riding through villages and towns in Europe, I don't recall cars being parked on the street as being such an issue.
Dream. Dare. Do.
I do recall that parking often was ad hoc" -- cars facing both ways, and you're likely right about half and half parking. But certainly in some of the older villages we visited with much narrower streets, even the sidewalks were not wide, and parking was not permitted. Metz comes to mind as an example.
Dream. Dare. Do.

Expected behaviour is editing works.
Observed behaviour is that one operation succeeds, and subsequent operations do not, because the channel gets closed after that first operation.

Comment 1 by hearn...@google.com:
I suspect this may be because there is no control flow for closing a wave session / mux, so it may be that two muxs are competing over the same channel, and somehow conflicting?
Comment 2 by hearn...@google.com:
Problem found.
Since there is no mechanism in the old protocol for a client to close a wave session, then after opening a wave for the second time, the server sends duplicate updates. One is an ack, one is an incoming delta. Since the client-side socket layer demultiplexes these messages based on wavelet name, then both messages go to the new mux, and the channel dies.
Client-side solution seems possible: the updates are distinguishable by channel id. Updates that come in for closed channels can just be ignored by the client.
Comment 3 by horst.an...@googlemail.com:
Tried to notify David after I saw his related post here http://groups.google.com/group/wave-protocol-code-discuss/msg/7a68d3c6b378ddf5 that the described bug is most likely already reported here http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/issues/detail?id=100. Just in case nobody noticed.
Comment 4 by hearn...@google.com:
Issue 100 has been merged into this issue.
Comment 5 by hearn...@google.com:
Update: this issue has been patched over for now, with some client-side filtering.
Once the new protocol is rolled out, the ability for the client to close wave streams should fix this issue properly. Leaving this issue open until then.

The Friday Front Porch: What's Happening Now!?
This Friday event isn't quite a jam or an open mic, though the Friday Front Porch certainly has aspects of both types of shows. Rather, it is a little like a blind date for performance artists. Show up with your musical instrument, a notepad filled with poetry, dancing shoes, art supplies—hell, show up in full mime costume if that's how you roll—and be prepared to collaborate. Theater/dance/performance artist Mankwe Ndosi will play performance match-maker, pairing artists in interesting combinations that will hopefully collaborate, clash, and combine genres and styles in insightful and provocative ways. Not an artist? No problem. Guests are more than welcome to watch what comes of these quick, off-the-cuff sessions. This is part of an ongoing series held every other Friday through spring.

Here is the full version http://xhamster.com/movies/824657/four_black_cocks_for_blonde.html
About two weeks ago I arranged for an old guy to take my wife out on a Friday Night, and she wore a sexy wrap around dress with thigh top stockings and heels. He was at least 30 years older than her. After some drinks he brought her to his apartment which was in a high rise. After he spent some time fucking her, she had more to drink, to the point where she was drunk. He dared her. He wanted to take her for a stroll in the high rise, with her wearing just her stockings and heels. She figured what the hell, and did it! After about fifteen minutes they were spotted by three old guys. All four guys went back to this guys apartment and they gang banged her! She's not sure if she just drank too much or if they put something in her drinks, but they got into some BDSM with her and it wasn't until late Sunday that she called me. When I got her home she had some welts on her tits and also on her pussy. The guys loved having her, in fact they picked her up at 6pm tonight for another qwild week-end.
