Demand Returns to Expedia
(EXPE - Get Report) feasted on renewed demand among frugal travelers for airline tickets and hotel rooms in the second quarter, posting a profit that was twice what it earned a year ago on a big rise in revenue. The travel Web site earned $41.3 million, or 30 cents a share, in the second quarter compared with earnings of $20.1 million, or 15 cents a share, last year. Revenue was $247.5 million, up 71% from last year.Expedia's merchant revenue, which represents money from package deals with hotels and airlines, soared 82% year over year to $155.8 million, while agency revenue, which is mainly commissions from stand-alone and airline tickets, shot up 57% to $86.2 million. The company reported 4.6 million total hotel room-nights stayed in the quarter, including 3.7 million merchant room-nights. Merchant room-nights stayed increased 32% sequentially and 80% year over year. Adjusted to exclude amortization, stock-based compensation and other items, the company earned $53.1 million, or 38 cents a share. The metric is primarily useful because of its comparability to analysts' estimates, and on that basis, the company beat by 7 cents a share.Expedia

"Catalonia so kwnon and so unknown" Top 5 Page for this destination Catalunya by Peret
Catalunya Travel Guide: 12,708 reviews and 30,888 photos
Here I bring you my vision of Catalonia. I'm sorry for my english, but I hope I will write good enough for you will can anderstand me.
Catalonia is my country. It is placed in the north of Spain. Unfortunatedly, is a great unknown country, cause his administrative situation, into Spain. Catalonia has his own culture, that have not to do wiht toros, flamenco and sangria, and less with mexicans hats.
I will show you a few views from Catalonia. In Virtualtourist page, there's another people who have made great pages about, for to get a general view.
A extract of a known song here about our country:
El meu pais es tan petit
que quan el sol se'n va a dormir
mai no esta prou segur d'haver-lo vist.
Diuen les velles savies
que es per aixo que torna.
El meu pais es tan petit
que sempre cap dintre del cor
si es que la vida et porta lluny d'aqui
i ens fem contrabandistes,
mentre no descobreixin
detectors pels secrets del cor.
I es aixi, es aixi com m'agrada a mi
My country is so little
that when the sun goes to sleep
he's never enough sure if he has seen it.
The wise old women says
that this is the reason becouse he always come back.
My country is so little
that he always has a place into my heart
when the life bring me far of here.
And then we become smuggler,
if nobody discover detectors
for the secrets of the heart
And is like this as i like it.
A map where you can see where our language is spoken, and his dialects, who are very strong. Catalan is a indoeuropean, romance language. Is close to french, spanish, italian or portuguesish. Now in Catalonia the Generalitat take care of him and is the first language used for catalans and for institutions. In majorca is less used in all this aspects, and still less in valencia. In France his consideration is very poor, and is rapidly declining. In Andorra, is the only official language. In l'Alguer, you can still hier it, and there's people that take care for it.

Once again we are blessed with another downtown crisis with the departure of the Sears store, the question about the Crump and the old Pump House use.
I say blessed, because these are the times that real change can come about. And, on the other hand, it can be a time of static struggle. It all has to do with the mindset we have as we approach this.
What I have found is that most people are of the "problem solving" mindset. This means that they get activated when something breaks down, and they wish to "fix it" — certainly a necessary capability in any community/organization. The juices get flowing when there is some failure people can react to. It is a desire to get things back to normal, however that is defined.
Being of this mindset does not guarantee that one is a good problem solver. Those are the one's who have a good grasp of how the "broken" thing works, gather good data, explore for the root cause of failure and put into place a permanent solution. Many with the problem solving mindset just patch it quickly, get something done and move on the next problem. They revisit problems often.
A less common mindset is the "design" thinker. These folks are always looking at things with an eye to how it can have a different solution.
The designer looks at a future where everything is put together in a new way. Kind of like what an architect does, when you go and ask to have your dream house built. They take in the main factors of the current situation, but then rearrange and picture a fresh future alternative.
In the businesses I worked with, the vast majority were problem solvers, some better than others. The designers were usually the technical people who were let to "do their thing."
But when those times came to redesign the organization (mainly because the old structure was no longer working), the problem solvers would struggle. It was not their thing. To "envision a new possibility" was so much "la la land" to them.
As a community, we were blessed with some strong visionary leaders who have helped create Columbus what it is today. It also helps to have lots of money.
Now, there is no one person holding so much sway in our future. Now, we must have leaders who are comfortable and willing to look to new possibilities, and then communicate effectively to all those problem solvers out there and begin implementation. In my experience, the second part is always the most difficult.
In a business, a vision of a better future must have everyone on board, or it will not happen. Most large businesses do not achieve their vision, but slip back into the old habits of operation.
In a community, this job is a little different. First of all, you cannot fire all those who do not want to help achieve the vision, and secondly, most people are busy making a living, raising a family, or doing other things and are passive about the future.
But they do fund it with taxes, and elect the people who are pointing the way. As we all know, politics can make things messy.
I guess my main point is to help some of the problem solvers appreciate the design thinking, and to understand that both are necessary, but different.
The city is asking for input on our downtown future, so here is a little exercise that may help. You can do this now or wait for when you have more time. Simply close your eyes, take some deep breaths, let your mind go quiet (as much as possible).
When you are relaxed, take a mental journey into the next few years and go visit downtown Columbus. Imagine walking around, interacting with the space, and what do you see happening? What is different? What draws people there? Who are those people? Take a walk around several blocks and just see what is there. What do you want Columbus to look like?
Everyone may not have the same vision, but to use this mindset can help us appreciate each other and the fact that we can see things differently and still find common ground.
This visioning capability can be practiced and improved upon. It is the source of finding a better future. And there will be plenty of problems to be solved along the way.

I've read that using a boar bristle hair brush is good when doing the "no poo" method. does anyone use one of this, and if so what brand would you use? TIA
Hairbrush for no poo
Comments (4)
I guess it probably depends on what type of hair you have. I use a wide toothed comb, and only when my hair is wet. But I did that even before no 'poo because I have long, thick, curly hair :)
A natural bristle brush is good if your hair is on the oily side because it helps distribute the oils from root to ends.

It makes your hair shiny. It also helps detangle dry hair naturally. DSD and my niece love brushing with it.
Some men are like lottery tickets. You got to rub alot of losers before you get a winner. --lovemyfamily1979
I use mine to distribute the oils in my hair because I have seriously long hair and even though it is fine textured, it's thick so the oil tends to sit at the top and dry out the bottom of my hair. As for brand, I just got the widest one they sell at Sally's Beauty Supply (it was just a few dollars) and it works well - though I have to brush in small sections to get it through my hair, lol.

WW Concept - The Assassination by joshwmcWatch
©2009-2016 joshwmc
New WW concept, this time Diana saving the US President from an assassination attempt from Ares worshipers after the presidential convoys is attacked. About 6 hours in Painter and Photoshop.
Why am I suddenly thinking of Cobie Smulders?
Probably because I've used her likeness for some WW artworks before. Wasn't intentional with this one, but I possibly had her subconsciously in mind when doing this.
Terrific Art! I am looking forward to your next piece already
Cool but it would be really nifty if the President was Barack Obama!

text: Second Year Modules Back to 'Undergraduate courses' Compulsory modules Research Techniques in History of Art The aim of this module is to enable students to define and pursue the sustained programmes of research required for Level 2 essays, presentations and undergraduate dissertations. Continuing the study skills introduced in classes in the first year, this module puts particular emphasis on critical thinking and evaluation, and will examine topics such as: defining and crafting a research topic; writing a literature review; identifying, analysing and evaluating relevant textual and visual source materials; use of the internet as a research source. The module will also examine how to cite written and visual material accurately, as well as crafting an argument. Art History in the Field: Study Trip Abroad An essential component of art historical enquiry is the study of works of art and architecture in situ. This provides experience of images, artefacts and buildings that reproductions cannot convey, such as scale, size, texture, context, interrelationship of parts, lighting and environment. Accordingly, this module consists of a study trip to a designated location of major art historical importance. Destinations are usually in mainland Europe, and have in recent years included: Rome, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Bruges, and Vienna. Prior to the trip, students identify a work of art or architecture in the chosen city that will be their focus of study. Whilst there, they have the opportunity to examine the object in situ and to visit comparable works of art and relevant collections. Students are then assessed by a 20-minute presentation on their chosen object during the exam period. The module also includes visits to major architectural projects art collections in the specified location. These will be viewed according to a programme devised and organised by staff. Works of art and architecture are studied at first-hand in staff-led tours as well as prescribed independent visits. Optional modules Renaissance Art in Italy and the Netherlands 1400-1460 This module examines Renaissance art in Italy and the Netherlands over the period c. 1400-60. It will look at developments especially in Florence by Italian 'founders' of the Renaissance, Donatello, Ghiberti and Masaccio, as well as considering comparable innovations that occurred at the same time in the Netherlands in the works of their Northern contemporaries Van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, and it will compare their achievements. In addition to analysing many individual works in detail, the module will also be exploring the specific connections between Northern and Italian art, as well as the varying conceptions of nature and realism, and of Renaissance and revival; it will also consider the ranges of styles on offer and the most characteristic forms of art works, such as altarpieces and portraits, as well as their differing religious and secular functions and the differing systems of patronage which led to their creation. Art, Architecture and Design in Fin de Siècle Vienna This module will examine art, architecture and design produced in fin-de-Siècle Vienna. It will focus on Secessionist artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Koloman Moser, and will explore their work in relation to a series of social, cultural, psychological and literary issues using the work of writers such as Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig, and the sexologists Richard Krafft-Ebing and Otto Weininger. It will provide a deeper understanding of 'modern' Vienna with regards to the changing conditions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at beginning of the twentieth century. The impact of design projects by Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner and the Wiener Werkstätte will also be investigated in the context of modernist architecture and design, and with particular reference to the notion of Gesamtkunstwerk. It will critically engage with the concept of 'fin-de-siècle' and ask how this 'phenomenon' may, or may not have, influenced an intense period of artistic production in Vienna and the rest of Europe. Although the course will primarily focus on art, architecture and design, it will also incorporate extracts and discussions on film, music and theatre where relevant. Power, Society, Politics: Religious art in Northern Europe This module explores the different social and political functions of religious art produced in Northern Europe (France, Germany, England, Low Countries) from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It focuses in particular on how artists and patrons responded to the changing religious climate at this time, and how religious works of art like altarpieces, reliquaries, and manuscripts were used as means of enforcing of power, promoting politics and creating social identity in times of instability. Case studies will analyse themes such as: the power and performative nature of images; religious allegory and secular rulers; religion and social identity; and Northern responses to the Council of Trent and the Counter Reformation. Students will be encouraged to draw on the University's collections through seminars that look at paintings and manuscripts in the Barber Institute and Research and Cultural Collections. By spanning the shift between the late medieval and early modern periods, students will also be encouraged to examine and problematise broader questions pertaining to the study of periods and categories such as 'medieval' and 'Renaissance', 'North' and 'South', and 'public' and 'private'. Inside the Gallery: Histories, Theories and Practices of Museums and Galleries This module is designed to introduce you to art galleries in the West in a historical, conceptual and practical sense. The first part concentrates on museums' history; you will be introduced to stories and places of exhibiting art works historically from the foundation of museums up to the present day. It will also discuss conceptual issues and explore the limits of this module, i.e. exhibiting Western art in the West. A second part provides an insight into museum departments and their work other than curatorial; those of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts will be taken as an example to explore display, publicity, marketing and education. Workshops in between the latter sessions will help you to apply gained knowledge to the various aspects involved in organising an exhibition. The module is largely based on group work, which is also dealt with as a topic in the course itself. Impressionism and after: Art and society in late Nineteenth-Century France This module will consider images, techniques and practices by leading innovative artists of the period such as Cassatt, Morisot, Manet, Degas, Seurat, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Cézanne. It will analyse key critical categories (including Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Symbolism) and key genres (including landscape painting, the painting of modern life, the nude) whilst linking art and the making of art to a broader visual and institutional culture. Finally, by analysing representation in relation to the key themes of gender, class and ethnicity the module will locate artistic practice within the socio-political terrain of the period. Art and the Industrial Revolution This module provides students with a general introduction to the production and reception of images (prints, paintings, ceramics, coins, medals and tokens) in Britain during the period of the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century that became known as the Industrial Revolution. It explores how artists represented, or chose to avoid representing, industrialisation, and how patronage, artistic institutions, and reception were affected by widespread social and economic change. The relationships between science, industry and art will also be explored. Module outside the main discipline (MOMD) An MOMD is a module in a subject which is not normally a part of the student's main degree programme but which may be taken for additional credit to enhance their study. Schools and Departments across the University open up modules to students from other areas in a wide range of subjects and disciplines.

This is a little sketch I did while thinking about a "Security Van" that shadowrunners might use in their line of work. See also [link] for stats (article will launch Sep. 9th 08).
Considering the drivers we have here in the city, I want this just to get from point a to point b safely.
atemberaubendes design, ich denk der hällt auch was er verspricht allein schon vom look jeder runner sollte einen haben
Hehe, I like it. The colours add some style, while being simple. It looks very blocky too. The only mistake might have been the roof design. The rightmost line of the platform on the second level (platform with the circle) ends too far (almost on the roof line), making it seem flat. Maybe you should try adding the inside bump as you did on the other side, which I don't see at all here.

"This was the shortest hotel visit ever for us..." Minnetonka by mafootje
Minnetonka Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 16 photos
Well at the picture you see a view from a hotel which for us became the shortest visit to a hotel ever. I will explain this in one of the tips about the hotel.
The name Minnetonka brought up memories for me from a brand which made miniature cars. These cars where larger then the usual i had. But they where also very strong.
When i looked up the name of the town it all got clear, it seems that Tonka (the brand i was talking about) means big or great. Minne means water in Sioux language.
If you want to know how much islands there are in Lake Minnetonka it just depends how you define islands. But there are something between 23 or 38 islands.

Well-Rounded Analysis: Application of Kumho Tire to Expert Economic Testimony
Hurdle, James A., Business Economics
Opportunities for economists to offer consulting services in litigation and public service have been previously reviewed in this journal (Polhemus, 1999). Here, the discussion turns to another critical aspect of offering economic testimony in litigation: What are the requirements that must be met for the economic testimony to be introduced as evidence for consideration by a jury?
This question was answered in the recent Supreme Court decision regarding Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael (No. 97-1709, March 23, 1999). This case determined that judges must act as gatekeepers to ensure that the proposed testimony of economists and all other types of expert witnesses is both relevant and reliable. Overseeing relevance is an established judicial role, as all testimony must be germane to the issues that are awaiting decision. Reliability is a more difficult problem, enhanced by the proliferation of experts in modern litigation. In its decision, the Supreme Court noted that "the trial judge must have considerable leeway in deciding in a particular case how to go about determining whether particular expert testimony is reliable." One inevitable result of Kumho Tire will be a period of disequilibrium in terms of both the methods employed for testing the reliability of proposed expert economic testimony and how stringently judges employ their tests to exclude or reduce the scope of economic testimony.
Economic experts are permitted to offer opinion evidence, i.e., the testimony incorporates information developed through academic study, research and/or experience that is presented to interpret the case at hand. For example, an economist may testify about the cost of capital or projected cash flows for a corporation, neither of which exists independently of the analysis conducted by the economist to derive an opinion as to their value. Merely being a highly accomplished economist is not sufficient for the presentation of credible expert testimony; in one recent decision a judge criticized a Nobel laureate in economics for his lack of knowledge of the industry about which he testified (Levey, 1999). Moreover, the opinions of an economic expert may introduce more confusion than enlightenment unless they are appropriately prepared for the issues in litigation.
As a central rule for how a judge may evaluate the reliability of the proposed opinion testimony of an economic expert, the Supreme Court stated in the Kumho opinion is that the judge should assure that "an expert, whether basing testimony upon professional studies or personal experience, employs in the courtroom the same level of intellectual rigor that characterizes the practice of an expert in the relevant field." This inquiry should be limited to the methodology employed, not a decision as to the merits of the conclusions derived. If the methodology is found reliable, then the expert may testify as to the conclusions, so that the jury can weigh the ultimate merit.
Kumho Tire follows from the Supreme Court's earlier decision in Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (1993), which established the standard for reviewing the proposed testimony of "scientific" expert witnesses. Daubert intended to minimize the role of what is commonly called "junk science" in litigation by focusing the judicial analysis of the reliability of the proposed testimony upon four factors:
1. Whether the methodology relied upon has been or could be tested;
2. Whether the method has been subjected to peer review and publication;
3. Whether there is a known or potential rate of error and standards controlling the technique's operation that may be examined against the proposed testimony; and
4. Whether the theory or method enjoys general acceptance within a relevant scientific community.
Because Kumho Tire has extended the Daubert review process to experts of all types, including economists, judges probably will seek to apply these four factors, or reasonable approximations, as a foundation for forthcoming reviews. …

I'm going to see if I can take medical leave for a few weeks to give some space from work and to recover. Since I'm so far along (20 weeks on Sunday), more people at work know and have been asking about how is the baby doing.
It has been extremely rough and i have even had someone make the worse comments to me "You're not going to kill the baby are you?"... "You know it won't make things any easier for you?" I felt like socking it to her! How insensitive! How does she know how I feel? I can't bare wondering if I'm going to see blood every time I go to the rest room, or continously think if my baby has passed, or knowing that if my baby even does make it to term that he won't be able to withstand the delivery, or to think of planning a funeral for my son a few days after birth. So, yes, there is a mourning process regardless. I would rather keep my self from all the agony over the next few months and just start dealing with the grief now. (SORRY I NEEDED TO VENT)
We feel at peace with our decision to tx but I must admit, I wish that I didn't have to make this decision.
In any event, how much time did you take off of work? Did you take time off work before and if so, did your doctor work with you to give you a medical excuse?

Excellent title for an article. What did this so called majority vote for? Democracy or Islam? We have to look at how many of these people can read and write in the first place. Mubarak was in fact the middle ground between Egypt and the West. The only way to get Morsi to enact the same fundamental policies in Egypt (foreign and domestic) is to strengthen the Military while they are still in charge. Unfortunately, this majority needs to work harder on themselves before they see any true democracy. Any sketchy future for Egypt will have a subsequent impact over the entire Middle East. Peace and love for everyone, from your neighbor from Jordan.

Currently HTML tags are filtered from forum messages by client side javascript (whyzzywig.js). If JavaScript is turned off (or local webproxy is used to filter or change the script), then user can post a forum message containing any HTML code, including <script> tags, e.g. <script>alert('test');</script>
This is classic cross site scripting problem with all the consequences (e.g. writing scripts to steal active cookies).
Also, currently a lot is supplied as hidden fields, which probably means that user could change that text. I have not checked that, but as there are fields like dataResourceTypeId, contentTypeId then probably user can create any type of content.

The js file is actually whizzywig.js.
Using last svn, I tried to load a forum from eCommerce 1st page and I got this message :
org.ofbiz.base.util.GeneralException: Error rendering screen component://ecommerce/widget/ForumScreens.xml#Showforum: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error calling service with name performFindList: org.ofbiz.service.ServiceValidationException: The following required parameter is missing: [performFindList.listSize] (Error calling service with name performFindList: org.ofbiz.service.ServiceValidationException: The following required parameter is missing: [performFindList.listSize])
Please as I don't really need forums for now, might you take a look at this pb before ?
I'm not an expert in this area but maybe others could give some good advices: however it would be nice to see some fixes and security improvements in the forum stuff.
I see how it could be a problem – so you're saying I could turn off my javascript, insert some malicious script, and then everybody else who comes to the forum screen later could then have their sessionId, etc. stolen by my JavaScript for session hijacking?
How should we solve it then? We still need to use JS for the forum screens, as I'm sure a lot of websites do. Do you have any suggestions, or better still--a patch?
The issue of the fields – yes I agree, it's not very nice. There should be a wrapper field which sets all of these so that the amount in the HTML page should be kept to a minimum.
Jacque, are you using latest version with demo data?
Si, HTML text coming from the client should be checked to contain only those HTML tags which should be explicitely allowed (e.g. <strong> is one such tag). In all the other tags symbols like <, >, ', " should be for security reasons changed to their HTML representaion (< >). Basically the same operations that whizzywig.js does on the client side regarding symbol filtering should be performed also on the server side.
Regarding hidden fields, the most clean approach would be to send to the client side only session ID (in cookie or hidden field) and to store all other data on the server side. Otherwise, the effect of manipulating all the hidden field values should be analyzed. If those are values which the client should be able to change then it is ok, but I am quite sure that client should not be able to change values of dataResourceTypeId, contentTypeId.
I tried with last svn (at this moment) but had not updated the data indeed. I just tried with data updated (ant run-install) and I get the same error. Strange because listSize is an "OUT" optionnal="false" parameter of performFindList and is present after the call of performFindList in ForumScreens.xml. Will see later...
I think then the filtering of HTML should be something to be fixed in whizzywyg.js and contributed back to them and then brought back into ofbiz. Maybe you should write them?
I disagree with you about "the most clean approach would be to send to the client side only session ID (in cookie or hidden field) and to store all other data on the server side". I think the approach most consistent with the way ofbiz works would be to create a special service for managing forum postings which reuses the existing content services but with those fields embedded in them. The content manager services are fairly generic and probably meant to be used as foundation or building blocks for actual applications rather than directly hidden on html forms like this.
I even tried after an ant clean-data (I use hsql) same error, will with an ant clean-all (but it seems useless).
Mmm, this was a problem with hsql, it's all right with PostGres. I like to work with hsql for its speed, but I think I will return to PostGres...
So are you saying that createDataResource or whatever it is that is storing the html content should filter out script tags?
I agree that this has to be corrected from the server side and I vote for this issue.
Yes I think that this is the place where it might go. If I have well understand that means converting some parts of the code of whizzywig.js. into java and put it in DataServices.createDataResourceMethod. Are you ready do to that work Eriks ?
Please see my comments in
Interesting use cases in
OFBIZ-1476 (and link to http://www.bindshell.net/)
Fixed by recent security efforts (though the message is not clear when trying to inject in forum body, title is ok (std input field vs content field)

"require all new Internet subscribers to opt out of an unaccountable censorwall"
I'm probably wrong about this, but wouldn't it require the subscribers to "opt in" rather than opt out?
A group of UK MPs, the Daily Mail and religious pressure groups are pushing for a law that would require all new Internet subscribers to opt out of an unaccountable censorwall, which will silently block a secret list of websites from their Internet connections. This is bad enough. Unaccountable block-lists are an attractive nuisance -- as we saw with the Swedish and Danish child porn filter leak, 98.3 percent of the material on the secret blacklist wasn't child porn.
But it gets worse: once the legitimacy of secret, privately maintained censorship lists has been integrated into UK Internet service, it will be trivial to add new censorship to the service without fanfare or debate. And as we've seen, this won't stop kids from seeing porn, but it will incorrectly block non-pornographic material because of incompetence and/or malice.
The Open Rights Group needs you to write to your MP today to stop this absurd, evidence-free push for national, Chinese-style censorship in the UK.
Some MPs and religious groups are mounting a campaign to push 'default on' network level blocking on the UK Internet.[1] [2] There is now a public consultation considering this idea.
However well meaning, we know from our own research [3] what happens when ISPs put blocks on the Internet. Through accident or abuse, censorship leads to lots more content being blocked than originally intended.[4][5]
Sites will get blocked if they casually mention sex. Sexual health sites will get caught.[6] The websites of clubs and bars, personal blogs and community sites get filtered. Chat sites may be banned – because they might not be sufficiently "policed". In short, if you're small and independent, you will suffer.
Innovation and free speech are threatened by this clumsy website blocking. And the government is considering turning this on by default.[7] You may be presented with a list of ticked "filtered" categories, and have to untick them if you want to avoid the filtering.
And if this happens at the network, then future governments can easily extend what gets filtered without having to ask you. Mass censorship would be couple of clicks away.
Stop opt-out "Adult" filtering
Copyright protects creative expression, but not utilitarian forms: that's why the silkscreened art on your t-shirt is copyrightable, but the t-shirt's design itself is not.

"require all new Internet subscribers to opt out of an unaccountable censorwall"
I'm probably wrong about this, but wouldn't it require the subscribers to "opt in" rather than opt out?
Duh! I see — you subscribe and the filter goes into place…you want to remove it and you have to opt out…well that's pernicious.
That's precisely the kind of confusion they're trying to create by redefining "opt-in" to mean "opt-in to not having the filter turned on".
I'm surprised that spammers haven't tried that one yet: "Of course we're running an opt-in service; you have to opt-in to not receive our spam!"
Oh, they have…
Won't the Daily Mail get added to the list, with their tabloid-y headlines?
The Right-hand column on the mail's website is affectionately nicknamed "the creepy uncle of the internet" due to their penchant for using the phrase "all grown-up". It'd be pretty funny seeing them fall prey to the fruits of their own campaign.
The strange this is that the Daily Mail comments all hate the idea, because the right wing hive mind believes that "proper" parents should look after their children and not rely on the state to do it for them. If the readers hate the idea then it can only be Paul Dacre, their editor who is driving this.
I wonder if Daily Mail readers know that a nationwide morality filter scheme is almost exactly like the one being advocated by islamic extremists in iran? Could Paul Dacre be a sleeper agent? (Dear English libel lawyers, I'm just asking questions here…)
It's the time we live in: technology has made a global economy possible, bringing people closer together, making the world flat ("to coin a phrase"), bringing ideas and ideologies into collision…to the chagrin of many. Consequently and predictably, many would like to use technology to create or re-create social and cultural boundaries. People…err, most people hate change….no I'm going with the sweeping generalization: People hate change. We all just have different ideas about which part of the status quo we'd like to preserve….and politics is born.
The Daily Mail: Bringing Sharia law to the UK!
Fuck me. Ms Melanie 'it's all an anti-Semitic Islamic plot' Phillips was right all along. I almost wish it were true just to fuck with her head.
The Daily Heil and religious pressure groups? What could possibly go wrong…
"Hello ISP. I would like to opt out of the censorship"
"Ok, what is your reason for opting out?"
"Because boobs"
Wouldn't this end up blocking British tabloid sites because of the topless photos they have?
Don't forget pictures of the royal family. You can never be too careful these days, it would seem.
The Sun published Naked Harry, the Mail didn't. Coincidence?
I wonder why we never hear anything more about Prince Harry? He's such a nice boy.
How many of you have actually taken a thorough look at the figures in the report before commenting?
One thing I noticed was that even though only 1.8% of the sites were found to be actual kiddie pr0n content, the combination of "Deleted content" and "Domain not registered" amounts to a whooping 94,6%.
Now, ISPs who are asked to take down accounts containing kiddie pr0n, they do so, in all civilized (and even some not-so-civilized) countries (after verifying that the account in question indeed has such content).
So I'd assume the majority of the kiddie pr0n that actually gets found, ends up not only in these filters, but also result in suspended web accounts or seized domains whilst at it.
To add to that, those who administer the filters might not even be setting aside enough time for vetting the already blocked content for any updates as to whether the filtered site as a whole, or the illegal content hosted on it, still exists.
I wish I could chime in on the "Stop censorship" motion, as I too want to see an open and free Internet, but in this case, there are just too many unanswered questions.
there are just too many unanswered questions
Yes, and foremost in my mind right now is the question of what exactly you're talking about and whether it can be legibly communicated in English.
It's a dialect called "FUD".
Looking at his comment history it appears the account might have been cracked anyway.
Thank goodness this could never happen in a free country like America!
What the UK government, and its associated right-wing factions, want is to basically rewind Britain to the end of the Second World War. They are fundamentally opposed to all progressive steps that have occurred since that time — education reforms, technological progress, the welfare state…
Sadly they have no interest in recreating the jobs market of the 1950s: since there are no industrial or manufacturing jobs available for 16-year-olds to enter, it is essential for young people to stay in college as long as possible earning worthless qualifications that increase their employment prospects not one iota.
This makes me so sad. Letter sent.
Another problem that doesn't seem to have come up yet: once the filter is in place, it will be much easier for these groups to demand that nobody should be allowed to turn it off.
Or am I just being paranoid?
Well, they'll go about it more surreptitiously at first: demand that the ISP's disclose which accounts have opted out, then make that information public and reported in the local news — because, after all, you wouldn't want your kids to visit a friend with an opted out internet connection would you? Because the only reason you'd want to opt out is to look at kiddie diddling isn't it, you sick ****.
Similar to the openings of "Contemporary" magazine stores and "Adult" stores where the local rag will photograph all the visitors on opening day to shame these immoral scum.
They've already started banging that drum. I've seen at least one article in support of this filter which started off talking about the dangers of exposing children to pr0n, and then threw in a comment about how most child molesters started with regular pr0n before "graduating" to the sick stuff.
They didn't quite say it outright, but their implication was obvious: anyone who looks at, or has ever looked at, regular pr0n is probably going to abuse kids.
You're not being paranoid. I was thinking that we might end up with no internet just lots of intranets (like the Iranian Islamic intranet) with access denied or permitted according to status or ability to pay.
The first seven words of the this article's headline make a perfectly reasonable rallying cry all on their own.

Brockham was a village in the parish of Betchworth until 1933. In that year it was made a civil parish and transferred to Dorking Urban District. The part of Betchworth further from Dorking transferred to the Dorking and Horley Rural District. The whole area is now part of Mole Valley District in Surrey, England.
The village lies south of Box Hill, with the River Mole flowing west through the village. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 2,868.
Agriculture previously provided most of the employment for villagers, although further work was to be found in the nearby Brockham Hills from the mid-19th century, when they were quarried for chalk and hearthstone - an operation run by the Brockham Brick Company Limited until 1911 and by the Brockham Lime and Hearthstone Company until 1936 when the works closed. From 1945, Beecham Research Laboratories Ltd (now part of Glaxo Smith Kline) operated from Brockham Park at the southern end of the village. In 1959, Brockham Park became famous when Beecham scientists there discovered the penicillin nucleus, 6-APA (6-aminopenicillanic acid); this discovery allowed the synthesis of a number of new semisynthetic penicillins.

I was looking at that as well. Trying to remember if they take a standard BOB skewer...
spend the $25 bucks. no brainer. if it doesnt work out then you've only lost $25. cheap lesson.

You can't get parts for the Yakima Big Tow. You can use BOB skewers after replacing the fork.
BOB Fork $55.00
BOB Skewer $27.50
BOB Dry Sack $69.00
@ $25 you can't go wrong...

Fitting BOB Trailer Parts on a Yakima Big Tow | Bike Shop Hub
"1: Hitch designs are not recognized as being cross compatible by the bike trailer manufacturers. Installing the hitch of one brand of trailer onto another brand of bike trailer will likely void the warranty on both the hitch and the bike trailer.
"2: Bicycle Trailer hitch design effects the placement of the trailer behind the bicycle. Most bicycle trailers are designed to be centered behind the bicycle. The length of the trailer's hitch arm is specifically designed to work with the trailer's specific hitch. If you choose to install another hitch style on your bike, this may have the affect of putting your trailer off center in relation to your bicycle. This can possibly be adjusted for by shortening or lengthening the hitch arm.
"3. Modifying and changing a bicycle trailer can have other unintended consequences. Do not attempt to use a self modified bike trailer without a very thorough understanding of the changes and adjustment being made to the bicycle trailer."
only one applicable would be #2 , but seems to be about trailers with arms
on only one side, not the bob/yakima with two arms.
according to the link, "some of our customer have reported that they have been able to get a BOB Trailer quick release to work with the Big Tow trailer fork. The Big Tow Trailer fork has plastic sleeves fitted over its dropouts. With these sleeves in place, the fork dropouts will not fit over a BOB Trailer quick release. Some customers have reported simply removing these plastic sleeves and then being able to fit the fork on albeit with a loose, rattling fit. It also seems as if these plastic sleeves might be filed down with a round file for a snug fit on a BOB quick release."
anyways, i bet $5-10 bucks worth of backyard welding would do the trick, only need
to buy the skewer.

They're exactly what I was expecting. I have the OEM VW winter mats in the front and needed something similar for the back. They have the same grid pattern as the OEM except for the edge catcher but they function just the same. The fit is spot on. They're a bit shiny unlike the picture above but I'm expecting that to go away with use and dirt.

- Recent Operational Highlights
- Enrollment continues in the Phase I clinical trial of Bio-Path's lead antisense cancer drug product Liposomal Grb-2 (also "BP-100-1.01"). To date, the Company has successfully completed the first two cohorts of the study. The drug has been well tolerated and possible anti-leukemia has been demonstrated. At the end of March 2012, a total of 24 patients have been enrolled in the study, of which 10 have been evaluable. The trial is in the third cohort treating patients with the third dose level of 20 mg/m 2. Liposomal Grb-2 is a novel, systemic liposomal antisense treatment for blood cancers. Patients eligible for enrollment have refractory or relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and who have failed other approved treatments.The clinical trial is a dose-escalating study to determine the safety and tolerance of escalating doses of Liposomal Grb-2, as well as the optimal biologically active dose for further development. The trial seeks a total of 18 to 30 evaluable patients and will evaluate five doses of Liposomal Grb-2 in five cohorts. An evaluable patient is a patient who has been able to complete the four-week treatment cycle. The protocol for the clinical trial includes five cohorts with dose escalation of 5, 10, 20, 40 and 50 mg/m 2. The expected dose for treatment is 45 mg/m 2 based on pre-clinical studies in animals. The clinical trial is being conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.It is important to note three patients who completed the full four week treatment cycle of the Phase I trial were placed on continuing treatment for additional cycles based on the Principal Investigator's assessment that they were receiving benefit from treatment with Liposomal Grb-2. Two patients in the first cohort were treated for five months demonstrating stable disease before coming off study, and currently one patient in the third cohort has recently started to receive extended treatment. The Company expects that it can complete the Phase I clinical trial during 2012, subject to patient accrual rates.In December of 2011, data from Liposomal Grb-2 was presented in a poster presentation at the 53 rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) held in San Diego, California. Jorge Cortes, M.D., Professor at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, lead author of the poster and Principal Investigator for the clinical trial, reported that preliminary results suggest that Liposomal Grb-2, at a dose of 5 mg/m 2 is well tolerated and there is suggestion of some possible anti-leukemia activity. Lab parameters for the six evaluable patients show each of these patients experienced transient reductions for blasts and bone marrow results. Two patients had transient improvement and/or stable disease and received a total of five cycles each. Two patients also had transient improvements in leukemia cutis lesions.
- In the second quarter of 2011, Dr. Ana Tari, PhD, MBA joined Bio-Path as Director Preclinical Operations and Research. As an expert in liposomal antisense therapeutics and a key member of the research team that performed the basic research and preclinical development of the Company's liposomal delivery technology, Dr. Tari brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that will be instrumental as Bio-Path progresses its research programs.
- In July of 2011, Bio-Path announced the relocation of its corporate office to a location near the Texas Medical Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center and other life science entities.
- From the fourth quarter 2010 through 2011, Bio-Path raised $2.5 million from several sources. In April of 2011, the Company completed a private placement sale of common stock raising approximately $1.8 million. At the end of September 2011 through early October timeframe, investors exercised warrants to purchase common stock, raising approximately $0.6 million. Finally, the Company raised $125,000 from the sale of common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC"), a Chicago-based institutional investor, in three separate transactions pursuant to Bio-Path's equity purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital for the purchase of up to $7 million in shares of the Company's common stock.
- At the end of the first quarter 2012, the Company commenced a new private placement fund raising campaign to raise up to $2 million through the sale of shares of the Company's common stock.
- During 2011, Bio-Path continued to increase its profile and presented at four industry conferences including the Biotech Showcase™ in San Francisco, the OneMedForum in New York City, the Rodman and Renshaw Annual Global Investor Conference in New York City and the BIO Investor Forum 2011 in San Francisco.
- Recently, Bio-Path entered into a services agreement with Los Angeles-based investor relations firm PondelWilkinson to assist the Company in implementing an investor and public relations program geared to the individual retail investment community. Bio-Path also has an active services communications engagement with Rx Communications, LLC, based in New York City, for communications strategy and interface targeted to institutional investors, investment banking firms and industry analysts. Increasing awareness of the Bio-Path story, including our recent clinical success and the potential of the Company, to both the individual and institutional investor communities is an important mission as the Company endeavors to increase shareholder value in the near term.
- Financial Highlights
- Net loss for the year 2011 was $(2,363,344), compared to a net loss of $(2,081,500) for the year 2010. The increased net loss was primarily due to a reduction of $242,658 in other income. In 2010, the Company received a one-time grant award totaling $244,479 that was recorded in other income and which was not similarly matched in 2011. General and administrative expense increased $97,822 in 2011, primarily as a result of an active program that commenced in 2011 involving the Company's travel to and participation in industry conferences. Research and development expenses were lower in 2011 by $58,636, primarily the result of lower expenses for drug material for testing, which more than offset an increase in clinical trial expense and expense for technology impairment. For the year 2011, the Company reported a net loss per share of $(0.04) based on 53,844,195 weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss per share of $(0.04) for the year 2010.
- Operating expenses for 2011 increased by approximately two percent to $2,365,615 versus 2010. Operating expenses in 2011 included a one-time technology impairment expense of $345,000, which is included in related party research and development expense. Reductions in 2011 for research and development expense for drug material for testing and lower stock option expense in 2011 substantially offset the technology impairment expense.
- As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash of $952,252 compared to $238,565 in cash and $244,479 in grants receivable at December 31, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities for the year 2011 increased by $1,755, or less than one percent.

Crash.Net WTCC News
Muller set for Citroen role
6 August 2013
Yvan Muller looks set to join Sebastien Loeb at Citroen for the 2014 World Touring Car Championship after testing the new C-Elysee.
A promotional video released by the French manufacturer showed the 43-year-old sampling the car that Citroen will use for its debut in the series next year.
Citroen Racing's website also made reference to the video featuring Loeb's 'new team-mate' although there has yet to be any further information from Citroen as to the nature of its line-up.
"It's terrific, a real thoroughbred," Muller says of the car in the video. "I think we should be able to do great things with it."
Muller, winner of the WTCC title on three occasions in the past, was widely tipped as one possible option to partner Loeb in order to give Citroen much needed circuit experience.
His former Chevrolet team-mates Alain Menu and Rob Huff have also been linked with drives, while former F1 racer Robert Kubica has been mentioned as a possible third driver for selected events.
English subtitles are available on the above video

The Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity: Its Use with Euro-American, Latino, and Native American Undergraduates
Johnson, Tanisha Maxwell, Robinson Kurpius, Sharon E., Rayle, Andrea Dixon, Arredondo, Patricia, Tovar-Gamero, Zoila G., Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development
This study examined the reliability and validity of scores from the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity with 550 Euro-American, 112 Latino, and 41 Native American undergraduates. Data for the Centrality, Private Regard, and Public Regard scales indicate that these scores have construct validity. Scores have acceptable Cronbach alpha internal consistency reliabilities across the 3 groups.
For the last 2 decades, counselors have been encouraged to be multiculturally sensitive and to take clients' racial or ethnic identity into consideration during counseling. Similarly, counseling researchers are also expected to consider how participants' racial or ethnic identity potentially interacts with outcome variables. In spite of these expectations, the reliability and validity of scores from racial or ethnic identity measures have been problematic. Measures developed for one racial or ethnic group have not been consistently tested for appropriate use with other groups. For instance, the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI; Sellers, Rowley, Chavous, Shelton, & Smith, 1997) was created for use with African American individuals but has not been tested for possible use with other racial or ethnic groups. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the Centrality and Regard (Private and Public) scales of the MIBI could be used with college freshmen of self-reported Euro-American, Latino, and Native American heritage.
As Helms (1996) noted, "there is no clear conceptualization of what constitutes 'measurement' of racial or ethnic identity" (p. 144). Furthermore, most instruments designed to "measure" racial or ethnic identity are constructed for use exclusively with individuals of one minority group (e.g., African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, or Native Americans). Based on the Multidimensional Model of Racial Identity (MMRI; Sellers, Smith, Shelton, Rowley, & Chavous, 1998), the MIBI (Sellers et al., 1997) is one such instrument. The MIBI does, however, have dimensions of racial identity that might be relevant to other racial or ethnic groups.
The MMRI (Sellers et al., 1998) proposed four dimensions. The first, identity salience, is defined as the level of significance race has in an individual's self-concept at a specific moment in time and is the only dynamic dimension of the model. The second dimension, centrality, represents the extent to which an individual normatively defines him- or herself in terms of race. Third, ideology represents an individual's beliefs, opinions, and attitudes about how members of one's race should act. The final dimension, regard, is characterized by an individual's affective and evaluative judgment of his or her race. It is important to note that racial identity is not synonymous with any one dimension of the MMRI (Rowley, Sellers, Chavous, & Smith, 1998).
Constantine, Richardson, Benjamin, and Wilson (1998) reported that the MMRI (Sellers et al., 1998) contains the most contemporary, all-inclusive conceptualization of the functioning and development of Black identity and provides a theoretical foundation for the importance African Americans give to race by the manner in which they define themselves and their membership in their racial group.

One of the unique qualities of the MIBI is that its interpretation can be used in several ways.
