- Title
- Serial entrepreneurs and focused human intentionality in the development of the Cambridge technopole
- Author(s)
- Gillin, Murray; Moignard, B. L.
- Abstract
- It has been argued by some researchers that intention is a defining trait in the character of serial entrepreneurs. Recently, Zohar and Marshall (2004) have highlighted the contrast between business practice based on a narrow linear assumption of human nature and motivation for short-term gain, and 'a culture driven by fundamental values and a deep sense of purpose' focused on wealth creation and the common good. This is referred to as spiritual capital. This paper evaluates the relationships between intuition, focused human intentionality, and spiritual intelligence of 12 hi-tech serial entrepreneurs, the performance of the Cambridge technopole, and experimental measures of non-local intention. Such understanding of the intellectual, emotional and spiritual intelligence components of decision making and the reality of intention to serial entrepreneurs will improve entrepreneurship teaching pedagogy and development of serial entrepreneurs.

Keep it personalMarch 14,2013
Normally I find Steve Pappas editorials well reasoned and sensitive to the local conversation. So I was quite surprised at his argument that the town meeting is an inefficient relic of a past age in need of replacement with the Australian ballot.
I fear Mr. Pappas has become a victim of the cult of efficiency that has ravaged our national financial, educational and political systems. In so doing, he has missed much of the less-recognized social research which highlights the crucial capacity of community to provide social and economic resilience.
In answer to Pappas complaint, I have but one word: Irene.
The bonds of community in Vermont were the key ingredient in our collective resilient response to that disaster. Peoples trust and care for each other, born of their collective struggles to find answers to shared problems, created a deep and lasting bond. That bond was, in turn, the motive force in the way our communities turned out to heal and rebuild.
We may not agree with each other on the issues facing our towns, but we have the knowledge that real people like us are struggling to find answers to our shared challenges. Such struggle, in turn, keeps a human face to our problems, which cannot be seen in an impersonal ballot. Then, when disaster strikes, we have a different feeling about the people affected than we do about the abstract voter.
We have been assured by the climate scientists that myriad disasters await us in the future. We are going to need every ounce of social strength to meet and overcome those looming challenges.
The last thing we need to do right now is hide from our neighbors in the safety of a voting booth when tough decisions loom. We need this constant practice in struggling with difficult issues because the issues are going to get worse. The town meeting is a way of keeping our social capital in shape to meet the demands of a difficult future.

Well, my first born turned 3 years old today. I have no idea where the time went. I could just cry (and I have!). I spoiled her today with birthday pancakes, a trip to the water park, and tonight it's Friendly's for dinner and 'The Great Church Fair'.
How did everyone else spend their child's 3rd birthday?

No. Apple won't be able to as the phone is with Sprint and you had to sign up for a 2 year contract with them when you purchased your iPhone 5.
If you want to try and get your phone unlocked, then you'll need to contact Sprint directly about it.
Also, remember that the warranty on the phone is only valid in the US, so any problems with the phone in Vietnam and it will have to come back to the US for fixing. Also, won't work with 4G and LTE due to differing frequencies between countries.
Have to say that Sprint probably will not unlock your phone for you, but you'll have to contact them to see and all in all it is not a good idea to plan to do what you are doing. Wait until the iPhone 5 is available through outlets in Vietnam and purchase one for you mother there.

text: Sauvignon Stalemate Joanie Karapetian April 22, 2013 5 Comments I love this photo because it encapsulates what is so great about the wine industry. When wine people get together, horizontal tastings like this are inevitable. At a post-Vinitaly dinner we tasted these three wines together with the good people of Cantina Bolzano: a sure sign you're dealing with a first-class winery when they are happy to match their wines up against some of the best in the world! The Silex was from 2006- a super-mineral, Sauvignon-fantasy. It's a weighty wine that benefits from some time in the glass as it continues to evolve and open before your very nose. Classic, prototypical Sauvignon. This is the dream of most Sauvignon-makers. Terlano's Quarz from 2011 was predictably weighty due to the extended lees-contact… always a favorite and full of that irony, steel-cage minerality that frames the most lush tropical fruit. A testament to the incredible amount of sunshine Alto Adige sees each year. And Cantina Bolzano's Sauvignon Mock 2012? Certainly the freshest of the bunch- zippy, clean and totally vertical. It's a tribute to those nearly impossibly terraced vineyards and their perfect sunny exposure clinging to the mountainsides. Lime peel, green tea, and a very fine acidity. (PS. I am in love with Alto Adige at this point in the evening…) All three examples of Sauvignon were completely different, equally beautiful, and totally unique. (Michael Whidden and me, post-tasting.

Takeda Pharmaceutical has ended its collaboration with Cell Genesys related to GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer. After two separate Phase III trials were stopped short, the firms along with wholly owned subsidiary Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company decided to suspend development of the drug.
Under the development and commercialization deal between the companies, Takeda will return all commercial rights to GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer to Cell Genesys and make certain wind-down payments in connection with the phasing out of the remaining clinical development activities.
Cell Genesys is also evaluating GVAX cancer immunotherapy in leukemia, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Coprocessors
There are a lot of use cases where users want to perform some simple operations on the region server. For example, a row may represent a Set and users want append/search/remove style operations within the row without having to perform the work on the client side. One possible solution is to embed a small language something like PL/SQL (not necessarily in syntax) which restricts users to a safe set of operations.

I keep threatening occasionslly my to do list with this. If so I'll assign to myself and drop the noob tag.
Coprocessors provide two extension surfaces, Observers (triggers) and Endpoints (stored procedures). We can provide access to both in a first cut via a system coprocessor that manages scriptlet execution. Consider:
- Ruby embedding by default, since the JRuby jar is already available.
- JavaScript embedding, since this will be a very popular request if it is not available as an option, and since packaging Rhino into the scripting coprocessor artifact with Maven should be easy enough.
- Support storing scriptlets for trigger-style execution at table, column[:qualifier], or row scope.
- User should be able to specify if the scriptlet should run at read time or write time or both.
- Store scriptlet state in a metacolumn, similar to
HBASE-2893, but privately managed to punt on issues of cross coprocessor dependencies and API invocation.
- The scriptlet execution host can wrap every Get or Scan with a custom filter that transforms or generates values according to entries in the metacolumn scanned internally at setup time. Implies that wherever the user specifies the location of a generator instead of a real value we must still store a placeholder.
- We also need to consider how this wrapper will interact with the AccessController's RegionScanner wrapper: Because the AccessController is first in any CP chain by priority it will already be filtering out placeholders the current subject doesn't have read or write access to, but how to handle EXEC permission may need some thought.
- Restrict scriptlets as observers to DML operations.
- We can expose a callback interface in the scripting environment on region operations with a small and familiar Document Object Model. Set up the DOM in the scripting environment(s) when the scriptlet host initializes. Call up into the DOM from Observer hooks at the Java level. See JRuby embedding and Rhino embedding.
- Provide the Endpoint interface Stack mentioned in the above comment.
- The first cut Exec API could be String execute(String language, String script)
Talking in the hallway later, thought was that we'd pass two Strings – the name of the interpreter and the String we want to run. The first cut at a coprocessor would use java scripting – http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/programmer_guide/index.html – and do something like this:
ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript"); // evaluate JavaScript code from String engine.eval("print('Hello, World')");
Yeah, I suppose we'd return a Result? Maybe we should return a String? JSON String?
As discussed at the hackathon, the first cut of this should be an Endpoint that accepts code to execute as a string and sends back results. As Result?
Later we can optimize through a facility for registering stored scripts and referencing them by name in RPCs.
One possible solution is to embed a small language something like PL/SQL (not necessarily in syntax)
I made a minor edit of summary to broaden scope.
In the context of filters (
HBASE-1002) we mentioned shipping up jruby scriptlets as an option for that. Given that HBase already carries the jruby jar for the shell, this seems a natural choice for that and more. If so it would be better if after receiving initially a String to execute an intermediate/compiled form can be cached for savings over repeated invocations, like http://kenai.com/projects/jruby/pages/JRubyCompiler.

Lindsey, I haven't read all the recent comments here because I can't take it when people get on a high horse and want to preach their sermon without taking feelings into account. I had my fill of their nasty comments in your first thread. You know there are many of us on the forum that are pulling for you and especially Prince.
I have a feeling that some/most of the people that are giving you a hard time have probably never rescued a dog. Too bad for them. I have and I have watched the miracles happen when love, time, and patience are applied. It's a shame that people feel the need to beat up on someone just to feel superior. That is NOT what this forum is supposed to be about. I will apologize for them because there's no way they will do it themselves.
Please just skip over holier than thou posts. I hope you keep us updated, we really do care about Prince and I am very thankful that he has you and your brother in his corner ♥

Ever since I began posting on this forum, I have made every effort to speak in a respectful tone to everyone, every time, no matter how I felt about their actions or their opinions. Offering a differing opinion doesn't mean someone is being rude. I am sad and frustrated that long time forum members who cared enough to actually put themselves out there and express a differing and possibly unpopular point of view were treated so dismissively and rudely in multiple threads not only by a new member who showed up here two weeks ago asking for advice but also by members who have been here long enough to know better. These expert members (for the record, I am not including myself here) donate their time and knowledge to this forum on a regular basis, not because they "need to get a life" as Lindsey suggested, but because they truly care about dogs and want to help people and they have been supporting us here at all hours of the day, year after year, and for that I am truly grateful.
I read through both this thread and the original closed thread carefully to try and figure out what the accusations of "negative" , "nasty" , "high horse" and "holier than thou" are based on. What I saw was a large group of people giving the OPs mostly total agreement and "atta boys" for their stories and actions, which appeared to be what was wanted since it reinforced their feelings that they are doing everything right and had nothing to re-think. There was positive response by a lot of people, with varying amounts of rescue experience, with kind hearts who showed compassion for the dog and everyone involved.
A smaller group of people who also showed compassion for the people as well as the dog, asked questions and raised very reasonable concerns based on their own life experiences and yes, expertise. The majority of this group who had questions and differing opinions have decades of dog experience professionally as well as training and hands on experience with rescue. Everyone who took time to respond was trying to give useful and helpful input based on their knowledge. This is is how it was met:
"While everyone's opinions are great we are looking at all aspects. We aren't idiots. I am not really looking for anyone's advice anymore. Thanks for the input...I'm am particularly done with this web site."
No one on this forum called anyone an idiot. When questions were asked as to why the family members who love Prince wouldn't be taking him in, we were told that there was no room, although they did have room for the pug, Duke, and also this red flag:
This dog's bites were not revealed in the original threads until people asked pointed questions about why rescues were turning him down, then the circumstances were minimized as though a Golden Retriever biting a child or any other person who he knows is understandable protective behavior, they made the extremely questionable decision to post this dog on Craig's List, and yet Lindsey continues to insist that they are so experienced with rescue dogs that they were qualified to screen potential homes themselves. However, this is the same source of judgement that decided having this dog out in the house with 25 people expected for a holiday family gathering was sound and safe management when one protective bite had already occurred. All suggestions for the rescue in Utah which might provide Prince with a life long home where he won't come into contact with the general public have been met with silence. The offers from forum members who might be knowledgeable and in a position to help were met with silence. It all adds up to simply confirm that my read on this situation is correct.
My beloved first dog, Wesley, was a rehome/rescue dog. I took it on trust that the original home was being honest with me and I took him in without a second thought that there could be potentially greater than average risk with his temperament. The story in these threads is the poster child for the reason that so many people are hesitant to rescue any dog. The average family can't trust that the original owner isn't trying to rehome a dog that they are well aware is potentially very dangerous simply because they either can not or will not deal with the problem.
I pray to God that no child or anyone else is ever bitten by this dog again, but I sure don't have much confidence about the outcome given the way this has been handled so far.

What does this have to do with the facts that this dog has bitten two people, including a child and is a significant risk to bite someone again in the future?

I'm actually not even taking the time to read through all of this. The fact that you have time to pick through this thread so thoroughly speaks for it self. Your "authority" as a long standing member doesn't mean much to me. My opinions are no less than yours. I don't have the need to explain every little thing on here as when it comes to homing we will OBVIOUSLY do so. Please don't concern your so much with what we are doing. I would be crazy to think that you are being polite at all in this thread. Please keep it to your self. I've asked novel enough that we no longer would like to discuss others concerns. We have heard them loud and clear. Are you hearing me?
I am closing this thread as it has gotten very out of hand very quickly. When posting, please remember the following:
7. GoldenRetrieverForum.com Members will refrain from assassinating the character of another. – In heated discussion there is a tendency to malign the character of an opponent. Care must be taken in the wording of all statements of denigration to not single out any individual. An example is instead of saying "You are a liar" (an unacceptable accusation) nearly the same sentiment can be expressed as, "I believe you are mistaken". Though the foregoing appears to be almost identical in the stated sentiment there is one major difference, the former attacks another's character of honesty whereas the latter refers to a possible error having been made… this is a BIG distinction in any argument. Also refer to the larger group rather than a single individual when trying to make statements of a derogatory nature. Example: "You are a reckless breeder for not obtaining health certifications before breeding" (this being an example of an unacceptable attack on someone's character) rather instead use "I feel all breeders who breed their dogs without obtaining health certifications prior is being reckless". Again, the difference in meaning might seem non-existent but the earlier statement directly attacks a specific individual's character whereas the latter is an expression of attitude toward a whole class, yet in effect making it understood that "if the shoe fits…"
13. GoldenRetrieverForum.com Members will treat other members with respect. The Golden Retriever Forum relies on its members to self-monitor in terms of rudeness that is just gratuitous. It is one thing to focus passionately on a topic; it is another thing to call someone an offensive name or to be condescending. We hold golden temperaments on high, so let's see our members be friendly to one another as well, even when disagreements occur. You may respectfully attack a member's point of view but do not attack the member personally, or be excessively rude in your responses. If a thread starts getting heated, take it to a mod, NOT PUBLIC. Those who do not follow this can be warned, suspended or banned.
These rules can and WILL be enforced. Anyone with any questions feel free to PM me or any other mod.

Buy These Top 5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks Today: CPLP, FDUS, PNNT, TCRD, DOM
THL CreditDividend Yield: 8.40% THL Credit (NASDAQ: TCRD) shares currently have a dividend yield of 8.40%. THL Credit, Inc. is a business development company specializing in direct and fund of fund investments. The fund seeks to invest in debt and equity securities of middle market companies. The company has a P/E ratio of 11.10. The average volume for THL Credit has been 198,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. THL Credit has a market cap of $545.9 million and is part of the financial services industry. Shares are down 4.4% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates THL Credit as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins, compelling growth in net income and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 14.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 33.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for THL CREDIT INC is rather high; currently it is at 69.02%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 40.69% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Capital Markets industry average. The net income increased by 25.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $6.17 million to $7.76 million.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, THL CREDIT INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

"Men's Parties" 911 Caller: "They Didn't Want to Call the Police"
It's been over a month since a man died inside an underground sex club at 1618 14th Street NW. The club, operated by David J. Butler and the D.C. Wrestling Club, had been throwing near-nightly "Men's Parties" in Logan Circle for years. The party came to a halt on the morning of Oct. 4, when one reveler died of "blunt impact injury to the head" on the club's stairs.
Forty-five days later, the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner says that the "manner of death" in the case—which determines whether a death came as a result of a homicide, suicide, accident, or some other cause—is still pending.
Today, D.C. police released a 911 call made from outside the sex club on the morning of Oct. 4. The call, which originated from one of the club's patrons, points to one possible contributing factor in the man's death—that party organizers allegedly hesitated to call an ambulance:
The full transcript of the call is after the jump.
Operator: D.C. Emergency 911 Dispatcher 6741. Police, Fire or Ambulance?
Caller: Ambulance.
Operator: To come where?
Caller: It's um 14th street, 1618 A. This guy fell down the steps at this after-hours club, and the guy's, um, he doesn't look like he's breathing, and they won't call the police, I mean, call the ambulance.
Operator: OK, repeat the address?
Caller: It's 1618 A 14th street.
Operator: 1618 14th Street Building A?
Caller: Yeah it's A. It's um, it's right on the corner of Corcoran and 14th
Operator: Oh, it looks like someone already called the ambulance.
Caller: Okay, because he—he fell down—
Operator: They're en route there, somebody already called.
Caller: Okay, because he fell down a while ago. How long ago did they call? Because he was laying there—
Operator: They called at 5:06.
Caller: Oh, okay. What time is it now?
Operator: It's 5:10 now.
Caller: Okay, yeah. Because he fell before that, and I saw him. And I told them. I don't know, I'm just upset about it, because it's actually—it's like an after-hours sex club—and they didn't want to call the police, because he didn't have any clothes on.
Operator: Okay. Look out for the police for him. I mean the ambulance.
Caller: I see them, I see them now, thank you.

Poor Parental Activity
My husband is leaving me for my 25-year-old daughter.

Got a burning question for Prudie? She'll be online at Washingtonpost.com to chat with readers each Monday at 1 p.m. Submit your questions and comments here before or during the live discussion.
Dear Prudence,
I have just had devastating news: My 58-year-old second husband of two years has been having an affair with my 25-year-old daughter from my first marriage. I am in a state of utter shock. I had absolutely no idea that this was going on and feel heartbroken, betrayed, and furious at the two people I love most. They want to live together, but where does this leave me? I do not know what to do. Can you advise?
Dear Betrayed,
You are living a scenario right out of Woody Allen, only it's a tragedy, not a farce. Allen himself is married to Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, who was Allen's longtime companion and is the mother of three of his children. His son, Ronan Farrow, has cut off contact with Allen, explaining, "He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression." It must feel unbearable to find yourself in a parallel situation, realizing both your husband and daughter are morally repugnant. Without knowing any of the details about the relationships or personalities involved, one can only speculate about this couple. Perhaps your husband is just a sleazy sexual con artist. But though it hardly counts as good news, it may be that your daughter has an undiagnosed mental illness, possibly bipolar disorder. That disease can make people act in bizarre and self-destructive ways. Or perhaps she was sexually abused as a girl, feels you didn't protect her, and is now acting out. Of course you're in shock, and unfortunately there's not much you can do except try to get through each day with the help of loyal friends and loved ones—and a good divorce lawyer. I hope you're seeing a therapist so that you have a neutral party to vent to and help you deal with this pain. Perhaps you should think of what's happened this way: Your husband and daughter were on a plane that's gone missing. In the end your husband is going to be your ex and will be effectively dead to you. But if your daughter is mentally ill, maybe she eventually will be "found" and then slowly, painfully, you might be able to somewhat repair your relationship. If these two actually go on to shack up together, let's hope no one who cares about you goes to their housewarming.
Dear Prudence: Studly Widower
Dear Prudie,
My mother-in-law and my husband's stepfather are coming to visit my husband, my two young kids, and me at Christmas. They live across the country and we rarely see them, for which we count our blessings. My stepfather-in-law is a gruff man who has never really been around young children but has taken a great interest in our 4-year-old daughter. He wants her to perform for him and to hug him on command. He likes to find some toy around the house she wants and uses it to lure her close enough that he can grab her. During the last visit when he did this, she said nothing but looked at me like, "Save me, Mom!" I wish I had and intend to this time. My in-laws' cultural background dictates that I should treat them like kings, although they treat me like dirt. I worry about a confrontation, but my daughter seemed to feel so violated and I feel terrible I was complicit. Should I prepare to say something this time?
—Want To Be My Child's Protector
Dear Protector,
This is turning out to be "sick stepfather" week. You must have heard the old novelty song, "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth." Your daughter could update the lyrics to, "All I Want for Christmas Is My Step-Grandfather Not To Molest Me." It's one thing to respect another's culture, but if someone's culture consists of, "You treat me like royalty, I treat you like a worm. Oh, and the dirty old man will terrify the granddaughter," then that's a culture gone rancid. The time to intervene is before the visitors descend. As I often say, when there's conflict with the in-laws, it's incumbent on their offspring to be the mediator. It sounds as if your husband shares your distress about the visit, so this means he needs to speak up—at the risk of offending his mother and stepfather—and set some rules. He should call them and explain the step-grandfather needs to keep his distance from your daughter because you both were uneasy with the way he handled her. Possibly this conversation itself will so offend them that they'll cancel the visit. What a gift that would be! If they keep their plans, your husband could suggest they'd be more comfortable at a motel. Even if they won't check into one, you should keep your daughter under constant surveillance and the step-grandfather at arms length. Do not be afraid to say, "Don't touch her!" You will be letting your daughter know that her instinct was right, and that you are there to protect her. And you will be sending a message that this Christmas no one is getting away with being naughty.
Dear Prudence,
My long-term girlfriend's stepfather paints nude pictures of her. He became her stepfather when she was 7 years old, but he didn't start painting her until she was in her 20s. This is confusing and creepy to me. We are both in our early 30s. He's 80 and seems to be a down-to-earth, mellow fellow. We even have one of the paintings. It's a tasteful rendition of her backside with her face looking over her shoulder. I am an extremely liberal man, so posing nude doesn't bother me. But I didn't start asking questions until Thanksgiving when he showed us the rest of the paintings, which included frontal portraits. It didn't feel right, but maybe it's jealousy on my part. He paints other nude young women, so shouldn't he just stick with them? I'm confused and can't figure out what it means in terms of the big picture.

Incredible! So awesome! It kinda sorta reminds me of the stallion of the Death Knight from Heroes of Might and Magic 5.

Oh god, those were the times... Great artworks.
This one is simply amazing
Woah! So cool, I really love designs like this.

Renovation or Expiration? Ray's the Steaks at East River Suddenly Shutters
Ray's the Steaks at East River (ranked No. 39 on City Paper's list of D.C.'s 44 Most Powerful Restaurants) had raised hopes that a nice sit-down restaurant could actually survive in the culinary dead zone known as Ward 7. Is this trailblazing effort now in jeopardy? Pirate-flag-waving restaurateur Michael Landrum's no-frills steakhouse on Dix Street NE has abruptly closed its doors. WaPo food scribe and Y&H alum Tim Carman has the scoop. A sign on the door attributes the closure to forthcoming renovations and notes: "We eagerly look forward to seeing you soon after re-opening in January 2012." But Carman reports that no work permit has been filed with the city. Landrum declined to comment.

Campaign Crawlers
None of the Above
Disgusted with politics as usual, the French turn increasingly to populist parties.
However the French vote Sunday April 22 in the first round of their presidential election, or in the runoff May 6, the long-term winners in terms of real political change will be neither the putative conservative Nicolas Sarkozy nor the Socialist Party's François Hollande. They will be the newly puissant populist parties of far right and left. If you combine the expected votes of the right-wing National Front and the new, communist-backed Left Front, they would outnumber those of either Sarkozy or Hollande. In fact, the National Front already dominates France's youth vote: with 26 percent, more 18-to-24-year-olds plan to vote for it than any other party.
Hardly surprising then that a large majority of French voters, disgusted with politics as usual, say flatly they don't want the predictable Hobson's choice runoff between Sarkozy and Hollande. The rejection cuts across class, age, professional and even political lines including former Gaullists and socialists: they no longer trust the established mainstream parties. While the two mainstreamers have bobbed and weaved for months with tired variations on the theme of a chicken in every pot -- most appropriate in the land of Henry IV, the first to pledge a poule au pot for every mother's son in the realm -- the fiery populist speeches of the National Front's Marine Le Pen and the Left Front's Jean-Luc Mélenchon, challenging what they term a corrupt economic and political system, make them the revelations of this campaign.
What they reveal is a hunger for something other than routine rhetoric -- hardball, edgy programs that tackle France's grievous socio-economic problems head-on and restore the feeling of distinct national and political identity eroded by uncontrolled immigration and globalization. Even if those proposals, on close examination, sometimes constitute an insult to the intelligence of the Gaul in the street. Or pander with simple solutions to complex problems. Or appeal to racial and class conflict.
What the French apparently don't want in 2012, whatever he promises, is five more years of Nicolas Sarkozy. Some 64 percent disapprove of him, a much worse figure than the 46 percent disapproval rating of Valérie Giscard d'Estaing in 1981, the only Fifth Republic president who failed to win a second term. Sarkozy is expected at least to make it into the runoff. But polls point to a loss to Hollande by up to 16 points then -- even former president Jacques Chirac of Sarkozy's own UMP party says he will vote for Hollande. Sarkozy, who exudes nervous energy and never shies from a fight, but has little political flair, has spent his flailing campaign 1) apologizing for the mistakes of his first term and promising to be different if re-elected, 2) casting himself as the only captain with the experience to steer the good ship France through the current economic crisis, 3) telling the French they should be more like the Germans (a real vote-getter, that), and 4) seeing that none of this worked, rebranding in seeming panic to an unconvincing hard-right campaign as "the people's candidate" speaking for the "silent majority" against Parisian elites.
This last tactic shows the burgeoning influence of the National Front, expected to garner 17 percent or more of the vote. (Pollsters admit the figure could be much higher, many NF supporters hesitating to say they favor the politically incorrect Marine Le Pen.) Borrowing liberally from its playbook, Sarkozy has jumped from one hot-button issue to another almost daily in a shifting, carpet-bomb campaign.
Depending on which way the wind was blowing that day, he vowed to cut immigration from the current 200,000 a year to half that, pass new security laws to protect against the Islamist threat, keep Muslim halal meat out of public school canteens, turn the screws on welfare abusers, protect French products from foreign competition, tighten border controls even if the European Union objected -- all proposed months ago by Marine Le Pen. In his drive to siphon off votes wherever he can, Sarkozy even finds nice things to say about the Trotskyite head of the other populist party, the pugnacious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who calls for things like a "citizens' revolution" against capitalism and "civic insurrection" against just about everything. "Concerning his ideas on the human level," Sarkozy said coolly if cryptically the other day, "I must say I have no complaints." Another example of his political tone deafness: the Left Front's rabid supporters would rather take their party underground than back a bourgeois capitalist like Sarkozy.
Socialist François Hollande, too, winks in the direction of populist voters, mainly of the Left Front. Though personally mild-mannered and moderate, at his political rallies he punches the air as he declares that his main enemy is the world of finance: "I will be the president of a republic much stronger than the markets," he vows, "a France stronger than finance." He promises to "profoundly reform" France to keep it the most generous welfare state in the world, unpleasant economic realities notwithstanding.
Lest the left populists suspect he is merely another capitalist tool, a conservative sheep in liberal wolf's clothing -- after all, on a campaign visit to London, Europe's financial center, he assured audiences, "I am not dangerous" -- Hollande pledges to implement a confiscatory 75 percent tax rate on personal income over $1.30 million. (Mélenchon, who sees the capitalist U.S. as "the world's primary problem," tops him with his rabble-pleasing plan to confiscate personal income over $470,000.) To signal his independence from a domineering Uncle Sam, he would pull French troops out of Afghanistan by the end of this year, two years ahead of the NATO schedule. That, he hopes, will help persuade Left Front believers to vote for him after Mélenchon, credited with about 14 percent in the first round, fails to make it to the runoff.
The French turn to populism actually comes late compared with the rest of Europe. From the True Finns in Finland to the Northern League in Italy, the British National Party to the Danish People's Party and emerging regional movements across the Continent, voters increasingly have been turning away from traditional parties that they feel are out of touch. Cozy consensus, comfortable right-left alternation with a wink and a nudge are out, fragmentation, rejection and the quest for new answers are in. Angry and often incoherent, the populists represent what Pierre Poujade, a now-forgotten French post-war populist, called "the ripped-off, lied-to little people." The similarities to the Tea Party are obvious. But, being European, these populists typically are more concerned about a loss of national sovereignty and control over their own affairs due to the European Union. They are also further along in organization, structure, and ideology.
With voters casting their protest ballots for a field of 10 candidates in the first round before getting down to the business of choosing between the two frontrunners in the second, surprises are distinctly possible on both ballots. One obvious joker is abstention: results could be skewed by the lowest turnout in years, due partly to much of the country being on sacrosanct spring school vacation. But while France's new populists don't seriously expect Marine Le Pen or Jean-Luc Mélenchon to be president come May, they are gunning for a healthy bloc of seats in the follow-up parliamentary elections in June. That could begin to change the face of French politics.

Lezyne CNC Dirt Floor Drive Gauge Replacement Replace the pressure gauge in your CNC floor drive pump. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/55grwJiMSPms1OfB iRobot 20 - 30 minutes Easy Lezyne CNC Dirt Floor Drive
Replace the pressure gauge in your CNC floor drive pump if the gauge appears to be inaccurate, is malfunctioning or has stopped working all together.
 2015-02-16T17:52:29-07:00 This guide has been found to be exceptionally cool by the iFixit staff. Using a flat head screwdriver, pry up an edge of the gauge cover. Remove the gauge cover. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/gPuOyRXsAc4WeKIO https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/VJrA6eveEWKVcrZd No parts from the old gauge will be re-used, so there is no need to attempt to preserve the parts. However, be careful not to damage the gauge housing. Pry up a corner of the gauge face plate. Use pliers to pull off the gauge face plate. Be careful when prying off the face plate, as the edges are sharp. Use pliers to remove the internal gauge mechanics. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/LaajGJ4QQ3eEcSL5 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GDZqnxW4N15ouohR Using pliers, grip the exposed brass piece and unthread the gauge by rotating the gauge counter-clockwise. Pull the gauge out of its housing. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/MCdLjCrVB5VJJwGA https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DLVl6KQFaFqrOr5t Remove the O-ring that is at the bottom of the threaded hole that the gauge threaded into. Place a new O-ring into the hole. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/4SXN62caX2qWvxud https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/6dmoFWWTTIhvrlZk Apply medium-strength Loctite (green, 290) to the threads of the new gauge. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/kQRsNkrAbcpn34QQ Thread the new gauge into the floor pump by turning it clockwise in its housing. Thread the gauge until it is snug and the BAR/psi markings are aligned with the pump body. Gauge performance will not be affected by its position, so long as it is snug. Allow at least 30 minutes for the thread locker to set. Test pump to its highest rated pressure and listen for leaks. If you can hear leaks from the gauge, tighten it. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/YuhZP6HLZOmjsEPx https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/G2DagMYPZxDeqYRg https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/MM2CHKd1jWpdeG3Y 2014-02-20T11:28:46-07:00

Top 10 romantic restaurants in the Twin Cities
The theater of dining is an excellent way to set the stage for an encore, maybe even a standing "O" that extends far into the following day. The only thing you need other than a willing partner is a restaurant up to the task. A perfect date-night dinner is a delicate balance of fine food, complimentary lighting, a skilled server attuned to a guest's needs, and a blooming connection between two people.
Here are our choices for 10 of the best local restaurants for romance.
A Thai romance
10. King & I Thai In some ways, our ideas about romantic dining are a little baffling. Sitting at a table with a starched white tablecloth, fearing the moment you might drop a fork, just isn't very libidinous. Feeling comfortable is romantic, and so is putting a flower from your drink in your hair. And what could be more sensual than the scent of lemongrass, Thai basil, and red coconut milk rising up from your food? How about shamelessly feeding your honey a steamy bite of pad Thai or an icy passion-fruit sorbet? At the King and I Thai you can savor the beautiful mix of sweet and spicy that is Thai cooking. You can also share a flaming Tikki Love Potion for two. Most important, you can partake in these erotic delights in a very private booth with your shoes off, dress slipping off shoulder, hair messy, and hands a-wandering--no one around you will be any the wiser. (1346 LaSalle, Minneapolis; 612.332.6928)
Romance comes from the most unexpected locations
9. Black Forest Inn When one thinks "romance," one does not usually think "beer garden," but if you can snag a spot on the Black Forest Inn's outdoor patio in the summer, you and your sun-dappled sweetie (or sweetie-to-be) will be basking in it. As shadows play fetchingly on your darling's face, try a beer sampler (a neat array of tiny beer shots), or share a plate of tangy paprika schnitzel. The fresh multigrain rolls, served with sweet butter, are also particularly good. Afterward, feed him or her warm apple strudel--or, if the heady combination of sunshine and sauerkraut gets the best of you, retreat to the dark, Germanic bar for a sweet dessert of kisses near the taps dispensing all that delicious imported German beer. Then again, if you happen to steal a kiss between courses, probably no one will notice--your cover will be the sweet sounds of the burbling fountain and the happy chatter of other sun-dappled, or later, streetlight-dappled, diners. (1 E. 26th St., Minneapolis; 612.872.0812)
Love's lost embrace
8. Forepaugh's Everyone knows how to set the mood for romance: a lit fireplace in a private nook, candlelight, fine wine, haute cuisine, and a ghost. St. Paul's Forepaugh's is right on point. Since its top-to-bottom renovation two years ago, the historic restaurant has tried to downplay the ghost (legend has it a former maid, Molly, in love with the original master of the house, Joseph Forepaugh, haunts the third floor where she hung herself in the late 1800s), but it sacrifices nothing of the other romantic elements. Each table in the three-story Victorian mansion is its own cozy nest, tucked into one of the many rooms and odd corners of the house. Lovebirds dine on beef Wellington, braised lamb steak, and slow-roasted salmon from an extensive menu of New American cuisine, while sipping on any number of fine wines or classic martinis. On Valentine's Day the place is packed. The maitre d' recommends putting your 2013 reservations in now. And while the bartender insists there's no ghost, should you feel a cold chill next to the warm fireplace, or a slight breeze on the staircase, it's okay to assume it's Molly and wrap your arms a little tighter around your sweetheart--just to add to the romance. (276 S. Exchange St., St. Paul; 651.224.5606)
Beautiful food, ambiance, and company
7. W. A. Frost W.A. Frost has a reputation for having more romance than the Love Boat, more charm than a whole factory run of that cereal the leprechaun shills for, a patio that's more beautiful than a pyramid stack of Miss Universe contestants, and more fireplaces than God in His Heaven. There is nary a spot inside this neighborhood institution that doesn't, by design, make a dinner guest look more appetizing. Even in the bar, where the small plates are so attractively priced, every dish is sure to impress every guest. In any season, WA Frost specializes in love, exciting and new. (374 Selby Ave., St. Paul; 651.967.7259)
Savor Sapor
6. Sapor Café What is love? Is it the ability to look past a surface and see the true wonder and beauty inside? Is it an appreciation of real thoughtfulness, serenity, and clarity of vision? Is it when you want to focus on your date, and not on the raucous razzmatazz and racket around you? If you have answered yes to these questions, report immediately to Sapor, the most under-appreciated restaurant in Minneapolis. Once there you will find the elegant, bold cooking of Tanya Siebenaler (her miso-glazed salmon with wasabi potato cake is legendary), a decor of peaceful earth tones rendered in modern angles, a charming and affordable beer and wine list, and--hallelujah!--a room that is always mysteriously half-empty, and gloriously still enough that you can hear what your date really has to say. Of course, you might ask, if the quietness of Sapor is such a selling point, why are we writing about it? Because we love them so much, and love is blind. Though it's not blind enough to notice that sometimes it's really only us and our dates enjoying this charming restaurant with its copious free Warehouse District parking. More than anything, we want the best quiet restaurant in the Twin Cities to remain a romantic ace in the hole, and so we have appealed to you: Buddy, won't you share some love? (428 Washington Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.375.1971)
A French Bohemian love affair
Andy Lien
5. Café Barbette Charming Barbette has the market cornered when it comes to bohemian notions of romance. First, the food is French, the leading cuisine in sexy eating, and the kitchen stays open past midnight every night. Second, the quirky space is dimly lit after dusk, with twinkling strings of multicolored lights draped above its sidewalk seats. Third, the quirky, casual vibe encourages guests to relax and be themselves, making it fun to look around the restaurant and play Guess the Depth of the Couple's Relationship. The twosome on a first date orders beers and splits the check. The ones at the multi-month mark reserve the corner cuddle booths and share finger foods: raw oysters, cheese fondue, mussels in a buttery broth of white wine, lemon, and garlic--plus, of course, molten chocolate cake for dessert. Pairs who already live together aren't afraid to get their hands greasy with Brie-topped burgers and a big bowl of pommes frites. The only buzz-kill at Barbette is the occasional sight of a couple more engrossed in their portable electronics than each other. The glow of a smart phone screen is not mood lighting, people. (1600 W. Lake St., Minneapolis; 612.827.5710)
Suggestive foods might plant a certain seed
4. The Strip Club As the racy name of this restaurant suggests, it's likely you'll enjoy some bawdiness inside this St. Paul hot spot. The drinks are fabulously concocted by our perennial Best Bartender, Dan Oskey. Wicked tasty and serious when it comes to booze, they go down quite nicely. Follow that up with a bit of chef J.D. Fratzke's playful fare, such as the grilled New York strip, topped with a little "Love You Long Time," a ginger, scallions, red chili, sesame and soy sauce. Aw, yeah, baby. Tim Niver and the rest of the staff are quick to make every diner feel like the prettiest girl in the room. It's a neighborhood joint that is actually a raucous dinner party full of exquisitely fun flirts.(378 Maria Ave., St. Paul; 651.793.6247)
3. Restaurant Alma The soft, yellow light caresses the skin like a welcome touch. The scents from the kitchen induce a subtle swoon. The service is attentive but mindful of space, privacy. James Beard Award-winning chef Alex Roberts's intimate restaurant is an ideal setting for an evening with amorous intent. Each dish is elegantly created from local, seasonal ingredients. Each corner of the space is modestly decorated so as not to compete with your date's singular beauty. The wine list is stunningly stocked. With a setting like this, it's hard to imagine how this date can go anything but walk-of-shame well. (528 University Ave SE, Minneapolis; 612.379.4909)
2. La Belle Vie There's a pervading myth that a lobster dinner always ends with the desired result. Imagine, then, what an evening in this glitz-soaked mansion will bring. First, a valet opens each door for you, the click of heels echoes quietly in the marble entrance, the hostess greets you warmly. Jackets are removed, seats selected, the best cocktails in the city are ordered, and soon the theater of fine dining begins. Each dish from Tim McKee's kitchen arrives beautifully constructed by chef de cuisine Mike DeCamp and staff. Every orchestrated moment of a dinner in this James Beard Award-winning restaurant is perfectly timed and executed, dazzling any date. Soon the evening whirls down, the lights are dimmed just so, and a little bit of Prince comes cooing over the sound system, leaving you and your date dazzled, dizzy, and likely ready for bed. (510 Groveland, Minneapolis; 612.874.6440)
1. Meritage One word: oysters. Salty, briny oysters, quivering in anticipation as anxious lips part. They slide sweet and unassuming onto the tongue before exploding in fresh ocean flavors, exuding sweet juices that drip down the chin. Imbibe one of the exemplary cocktails, perhaps even just a bit of absinthe, something with an edge of danger, something once verboten. Or sample the bone marrow by gently sliding a finger down the soft center of the bone, coaxing out that trembling bit of unctuous concentrated flavor. Spread the marrow across a crusty piece of toast and tear into it. Leave nothing behind but the ravaged ruins of a sumptuous meal. (410 St. Peter St., St. Paul; 651,222,5670)
