Hmm, the base diameter of the x39 is .44". No .45 for you. But .44 bullets are .429"!
1biggun's ".44???" would be a .308-length cartridge. But a .44 Mutt would feed through an ordinary AK action, bolt and all.
Might be worth thinking about.

Diane Brame: Free Lunch Firing Gets Job Back
Posted by Native NYker in diane brame, firing, free lunch, hudson elementary school on December 15, 2012
We know that the nation is up at arms over the Sandy Hook atrocity but this here tidbit, coming out of St. Louis, made us stop dead in our tracks and want to cry. Diane Brame, 60, was fired from her position at Hudson Elementary School for extending a needy child a free lunch.
And we ask ourselves 'where is the harm in that?'
The excessive action was taken by her employer after discovering Brame had wracked up $45.00 worth of free lunches.
And still we look to cause.
A child in need.
What is wrong with people? This is some type of fuckery you can't go and blame on a gun.
"I understand that the food wasn't mine to give," Brame is quoted as telling KMOV. "I was wrong in my actions, but I don't think I was stealing."
We would agree!
It's not like this was food taken out of the Jean George kitchen for personal feasting at home. She was doing right by a child in the fourth grade who couldn't afford to pay for a cheap-ass lunch that assuredly is over-priced!
"Kids can be cruel to see this kid eating cheese sandwiches day after day after day. 'You don't have any money in your account, that's why you have to eat cheese sandwiches'. And my heart just couldn't tolerate that, so I broke the rule," she points out.
Reports have Grame getting her position back – no doubt in part to the hyper-coverage televised on a story brought about by a heartless and insensitive supervisor who extended Brame the option of being fired or being demoted to a cooking post at another location!
We think perhaps the company should review this supervisor and demote their dumbass for lacking supervisory skills!

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2007 issue.
For decades, surfers of all ages have flocked to Mexico's Pacific coast, long considered to be a destination of choice, in order to benefit from its more than 1,500 miles of beaches, points and reefs. Well-known surf spots from the northern state of Sinaloa all the way down to Oaxaca are awaiting exploration year round. And with increasing availability of incoming flight options from important cities in the United States and Canada, Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas are certainly no exception.
Surfers have traditionally been circumspect about sharing the location of their favorite spots with the general public. However, in this day and age, and with the advent of a considerable number of specialized websites, all you have to do is type "surfing Vallarta" on your favorite search engine and you'll be on your way to discovering a variety of options, from surfing workshops for beginners to complete travel packages for seasoned surfers.
At the center of all surfing-related activities in the area is Sayulita, an easily accessible, off-the-beaten-path village located less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta. Here, you will find the broadest variety of surfing-related resources: gear shops, day or weeklong courses for all
levels, equipment rentals and more. But more importantly, you will find a diverse community of English- and Spanish-speaking surfers who can provide tips and information about this and the other wellknown points listed alphabetically here.
Level: All surfers
Type: Point break
Reliability: Consistent
Getting There: Carr. 200 Norte, approximately 1.5 hours north of Puerto Vallarta. 19 miles north of Rincón de Guayabitos, look for Chacala sign. Once you reach this small fishing village, head to the docks, where a boat will take you to the break for a small fee.
Good to Know: Consider a visit to nearby Altavista, an archaeological site with 2,000-year-old petroglyphs.
Level: Experienced surfers Type: Reef break Reliability: Consistent.
Getting There: Hire a panga, or small boat, on the beach at the town of El Anclote.
Good to Know: Known simply as "burros," here the break facilitates many different levels of surfing, but is best accessible by boat.
Level: All surfers Type: Beach and point break Reliability: Fairly consistent.
Getting There: Access through El Anclote. Good to Know: Several boat companies that cater to surfers, along with instructors, are available. Nearby El Faro has a longer break, but getting there is a long hike.
Level: All Surfers Type: Beach and reef break Reliability: Fairly consistent.
Gettin There: Accesible by car via Carr. 200 Norte, approximately one hour north of Puerto Vallarta.
Good to Know: An artsy, peaceful town, San Pancho is a great opportunity to combine surfing with truly relaxing escape. Local resort Costa Azul has excursions to other nearby surfing spots.
Level: All surfers Type: Beach and reef break Reliability: Very consistent.
Getting There: Accesible by car or bus from Puerto Vallarta, take Carr. 200 Norte and look for signs.
Good to Know: If you are starting from scratch, or would like to rent equipment, this is by far the best place to go.
Level: All surfers Type: Point break Reliability: Consistent
Getting There: Accessible from Destiladeras beach, you have to walk half a mile to get to this point. Can be reached from Puerto Vallarta inexpensively by bus. Good to Know: There are many rentals available for visiting surfers right at the surf break.

|5 days expedition
Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2013
|A five day climb with porter, cook and mules. We camped at base camp, then moved all our gear up close to the refuge (right under the glacier). Then you climb up to camp 2 at about 6000m. We summited next day, and descended up to the refuge camp. Dress well, it is cold at the summit ;-)!
July 2013 was very stable weatherwise in the Cordillera Blanca. Our team managed to climb Urus, Ichinca, Toclaraju (through the Bergshrund route), Huascaran Sur and Chopicalqui. We had to abandon halfway up the Pisco due to very bad weather.

|Highest Best Peak in Andes
Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2013
|3 of us traveled to Musho already acclimated from a previous climb. We used porters and donkeys to bring us directly to the Refugio and climbed from here in alpine style. On the first day we moved to Camp 1 which was fairly easy despite the pack weights. We were moving by 7am on day 2 and crossed the Candletta without incident before sunhit (another party left at 2am, not a bad idea). You could easily go from Refugio to high camp in a day if you timed it correctly. We left the high camp at 2am and were the only ones on the route. It was a bit tough to find the route in the dark, some steep snow and short crossing of WI3 or so. We reached the summit shortly after sunrise and returned to high camp and stayed the night to avoid descending to Camp 1 in the afternoon.
I HIGHLY recommend Huascaran Sur az the highest most interesting peak in South America. Did not find its reputation to be as bad as I had heard.

|From Refuge
|Didn't have much time left in our trip, so we approached from Musho (3000 M) to Refuge (4,650 M) on day one, and climbed to the summit from refuge on day 2. Had to break trail for last 3000 ft. Was glad to bring a good amount of water!

|Normal route. Huascaran Sur
|Up and down in four days. Sucked carrying so much food up to high camp. Started at 1 ish and topped off at around 6:30 in pretty brutal winds. Dropped a tool about halfway up and miraculously found it waiting for us on the way down!!! Fun climb. Will try the Shield next time.

|Back again!
Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2011
|Almost a month after my first attempt, which stranded almost half way up to the summit from campo 2, I was back at campo 2 with two climbers I had met earlier in Huaraz.
The next morning, August 8, Angikar had a stomach bug and couldn´t climb. At half past eight, I decided to have a look at the route, and, specifically, at the point where I returned the last time. Sakshama decided to stay with his friend. It was a bit cold and windy, but otherwise a perfect day, and after passing the col, the wind was much, much less and although it was still cold, it was in fact quite pleasant weather.
As I reached the critical section, I saw what I couldn´t see in the clouds a month ago: the route went up steeply for 50m or so. I saw a route marker high up, and some bits of snow were trickling down, signalling that there were other climbers higher up somewhere. I climbed up the steep section and met two others. They told me that it was an easy but long slog to the summit from there - they had taken 3.5 hours for it! As it was almost 12 o´clock, I thought that I wouln´t have enough time, but decided to have a look anyway. I could always return if it got too late, right? A couple of times I thought I saw the summit, and boosted by the idea that it wasn´t much further, I continued, only to find out that it was a false summit. In the end, I finally got there minutes before half past three, 7 hours after I had started. Fortunately, as I had seen on the way up, there were a few places where I could glissade down, saving a lot of time, and with that I made it down to campo 2 in less than 3 hours, minutes after sunset.
The next morning, the wind was too strong to try for the summit, but that was hardly relevant as the stomach bug hadn´t gone away yet. During the day, the wind abated a bit, and I headed out with Sakshama, to show him the lower half of the route, up to the crux. However, on the col itself the wind was blowing hard again and we went back to camp after half an hour.
On the third morning, Angikar finally felt better, although pretty weak from not eating much in two days, but the wind was still unrelenting. A summit attempt was out of the question and having no more food to stay up there any longer, we headed down to the refuge.
By the way, campo 2 was the worst camp site I´ve spent the night: cold (almost minus 8 degrees Celcius inside my tent), quite windy, even though we were about 150m below the actual col, sheltered by an ice wall, and dirty because of all the other climbers who had camped there before us ... which may well have been the cause for my friends´ stomach bug.

|The route disappeared in the clouds
Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2011
|The weather wasn´t too good at col camp at night. An occasional bit of snowfall and more than an occasional bit of wind. Besides, the summit was covered in clouds. Yesterday it had been about the same and nobody climbed Sur.
Eventually we started shortly before 8 am, very late, but with the daylight we could at least see where we were going. Alas, the clouds that covered the higher part of the mountain didn´t budge and so the route was too hard to find.
I´ll be back!

Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2011
|Day 1: up to Base camp (4200m)
Day 2: up to camp 1 on the glacier (5300m)
Day 3: up to camp 2 just below the col (5900m)
Day 4: Summit in 6.5 hrs from camp 2. It helped that we followed tracks from another party. Had to do one rappel on the way down.

|Big mountain - wish i was better acclimatized, i still am waiting for the chance to head back to huascaran.
Garganta was more sketchy then i thought. I would recommend leaving VERY early from camp 1 to head through there. We left at 5am, and had a refrigerator sized block pass within 30 ft of my partner and I. Turned around on my summit push at around 6500m from bad AMS symptoms and hightailed it back to base camp. The route above camp 2 was ok, alot of crevasses. Also, there were LARGE avalanche debris fields on either side of camp 1.

Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2008
|With Jim, Eric and Ben. Took our time gaining camps to be sure of acclimatization Base Camp, Moraine Camp, Camp 1, then Camp 2. Weather never really let up on the upper portions of the mountain. By the time we reached C1, we pushed through the Candeletta in ugly weather and set up C2 in full ugly col conditions. Never let up enough to even think of leaving the following night. Returned to Moraine Camp next day then to Huaraz the next. Weather didn't clear up again till about the 11th.

|Our team of Tim, Jim, Ben and I pushed up to Camp 2 in tough conditions. There were a few ice pitches to get through in the Candeletta that were quite trying to our stamina, but we got it done. Once at Camp 2, the already bad weather became worse. That night, there was quite a lot of wind and new snowfall creating questionable route and avalanche condidtions. We retreated back to the Moraine Camp but now know the beta for Huascaran Sur....attack this peak via El Escudo.

|The Shield right direct
Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2007
|Silvio and I hiked up to Moraine camp (4800) but he got very sick that night so we didn´t leave for our high camp (5600) until late the next day. We checked out the approach to the Shield on Day Three and decided to cross the ´schrund on the far right (5800) and try a direct line to the summit ridge--the longest ice line we could spot on the face. On Day Four we left the tent at 3 am with a single headlamp (Silvio´s) and a liter of water each after using the last of our fuel to melt snow. On the first pitch at 4 am Silvio´s light stopped working but he kept climbing. I led the rest of the climb to the ridge (ice, ice-neve, neve, totaling eight or so rope lengths), which we reached at 11:30. Then came an endless slog to join the Normal Route around 6500. At this point it was late, getting cloudy, and we were knackered, so we descended the Normal. We reached our tent at 7:30, having bummed a couple of liters of water from a team on the way down. Preliminary research indicates this may be a new route.

|my partner was hung over and sick so I started going to the other camps seeking a team to join. Met some nice guys from iceland and climbed with them to high camp. They all got sick, but one decided he didn't want me to solo so joined me. he started feeling good and we did top out together. What made him so driven was he promised a friend back home he'd get a picture of himself holding a frigin life size poster a Brittany Spears (or however you spell her name).

We're in Charlottesville, VA
The owl is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom, of course. But it is also a symbol of wealth and status. To those who use it as a totem, it means you are the Keeper of the Spirits, the one person everyone can depend on.
"Steampunk" is the name given to the popular art movement that combines fantasy with industrialized design, where romance meets machines. Often, steampunk creations feature hardware such as watch parts, gears and clock faces, mixed with Victorian era elements and embellishments. The idea is to make an intricate-looking mechanical design by mixing unlikely and unexpected elements. The result is jewelry that you'll look at again and again, seeing new and different details and meanings every time.
This steampunk creation was handcrafted by jewelry artist Jackie Monticup of White Rabbit Jewelry here in Virginia. It is her own design, and is one of a kind. There will never be another pendant like this one- you will own the only one in the world!
The owl stamping is a reproduction of a Victorian German design. The gears, pins, springs and enamel watch face are authentic vintage watch parts, meticulously and individually mounted into the piece.
This is a delicate art piece. Of course, this necklace is meant to be worn, but worn with care. Rough handling may cause some of the parts to bend or detach. Should that happen, you may mail the piece back to us and Jackie will repair it for you at no cost except for shipping.

Westword's Comprehensive Look at Denver Cycling
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
Denver Westword magazine takes a comprehensive look at the recent growth in cycling in Denver, how the Democratic National Convention may have been a catalyst and sparked the B-Cycle program, and how the city is addressing safety through engineering and educational efforts.
Read more at Denver Westword
Based on U.S. Census American Community Survey data, there has been a 57 percent rise in Denver commuters biking to work since 2005, and a 132 percent increase over the last twelve years. About 2.2 percent of Denver commuters now bike to work, which is four times the national average of about .5 percent bike commuters. A June report by the Downtown Denver Partnership estimates that around 7,000 employees ride bikes to downtown every day, which comes out to about 6 percent of those working downtown — with an average one-way commute of 3.57 miles. And B-cycle reports an average of about 844 checkouts a day so far this year.
If Denver is able to fill gaps in its bike infrastructure network so that cyclists can get around with ease, this could become a top-tier city for cycling, enthusiasts say.
"This is something I tell the advocates a lot: It will all get done, it's just a matter of how fast," Snyder says.
Dan Grunig, executive director of Bicycle Colorado, the statewide advocacy group, says he thinks Denver could be one of the best American cities for bikes, if it just built a transportation system that supported them. "What we're really talking about is paint," he points out. "Paint is cheap. We've got tons of concrete already. It's more just using what we have efficiently. It's just signage and setting that expectation.
"We have one of the strongest riderships for cities in the country just with the number of people biking to work," he adds. "But we are kind of middle, mediocre, in terms of the amount of bicycle facilities."...
Mayor Hancock wants to make Denver a world-class city where everyone matters. But do cyclists matter more than others?
Funding of bike-pedestrian projects — which include bicycle pavement markings, new trails and trail maintenance, and also major projects like bridges and underpasses for bikes and pedestrians — has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2006, the city spent $2.1 million in this area, which grew to $4.5 million in 2007, $7.7 million in 2009, and $10.5 million in 2011. Hancock likes to emphasize the vision of moving people and not just cars. "We're really working to build a culture where it's very multi-modal," he says. "It makes sense for us economically and it makes sense for us environmentally." Hancock, who says he tries to ride a bike once or twice a week for exercise, points out that cycling is a tourism draw, too: "There's nothing more gratifying to me than seeing families riding their bicycles...and enjoying themselves."

The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) is pleased to announce the awarding of the 11th Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design to two projects, The Metro do Porto in Porto, Portugal, and the Northeastern Urban Integration Project in Medellín, Colombia, in a ceremony to be held on Tuesday, September 3, 2013, at 6:30 p.m. in Piper Auditorium at the GSD. Rahul Mehrotra, Professor and Chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design, and Prize Jury Chair, will host a panel discussion including presentations by representatives (designers and administrators) of the two winning teams. The event will be followed by a reception and viewing of the exhibition Transformative Mobilities: Porto & Medellín, installed in the GSD's Gund Hall gallery.
"If there are lessons to be drawn for urban design from Medellín and Porto, I think the broader lesson has to do with the disruption of the segregation of the disciplines in the design field. Historically we have understood that Landscape Architecture sits in one place, Architecture in another, and Urban Design and Planning [in another, with all three disciplines] in constant conflict about their territorial rights. One of the things that is revolutionary about the Medellín project is that distinguishing among the disciplines is no longer possible." Michael Sorkin – Jury Member

Internet Voting in the March 2007 Parliamentary Elections in Estonia
This study presents and analyzes the results of a survey among the electorate of the Estonian parliamentary elections held on 4 March 2007. The primary focus of the analysis lies on the newly introduced possibility of voting via the Internet in these elections. The application of this pioneering voting channel gave the elections an exclusive character and provoked enormous attention in the political as well as in the scientific community. The use of e-voting in the Estonian parliamentary elections is a remarkable world-première: for the first time an electorate could vote over the Internet in elections of a national parliament. Overall, 30.275 voters have used the possibility of e-voting, which corresponds to 5.4 percent of the participating voters.

If you have a computer with a touchscreen, you might find that gestures (motions that you make with one or two fingers) are easier to use than a mouse, pen, or keyboard.
You don't need to tap or click a menu item or a button on a toolbar to perform common tasks, such as copy, paste, undo, and delete. Instead, you can use a flick of your finger. For example, an upward flick moves a page down, and a downward flick moves a page up. There are two categories of flicks: navigational and editing. To learn how to use flicks, see Practice using flicks.
You can customize flicks to do frequently-performed tasks. To learn how, see Customize flicks.
Press and hold does the same thing as right-clicking an item. To perform the action, touch the screen where you want to right-click, hold until a complete circle appears, and then lift your finger. The shortcut menu appears after you lift your finger.
If your touchscreen can recognize at least two touch points, you can use Windows Touch gestures. To find out if your touchscreen supports more than one touch point, check the information that came with your laptop or touchscreen.
If you have a Tablet PC or touchscreen, you can see how many touch points are available on your computer in System, in Control Panel.
Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
The following table describes Windows Touch gestures.
Touch and drag the page with either one or two fingers.
Use panning to see another part of a page that has scroll bars. For example, you can pan to see part of a long document or spreadsheet that doesn't appear in the window. When you pan with one finger, dragging your finger vertically moves the page, while dragging your finger horizontally selects text on the page.
To zoom out, touch two points on the item, and then move your fingers toward each other, as if you're pinching them together. To zoom in, touch two points on the item, and then move your fingers away from each other, as if you're stretching them apart.
Use zooming to make an item on the screen larger or smaller. With a picture, zooming in shows a smaller area in more detail; zooming out shows a larger area.
Touch two points on the item, and then move the item in the direction that you want to rotate it.
Use rotating to move a picture or other item on the screen in a circular direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
Press and tap
Press the item with one finger, then quickly tap with another finger, while continuing to press the item with the first finger.
Use press and tap to access the shortcut menu. Press and tap does the same thing as press and hold or right-clicking an item.

Chief Curator Jim Henke talks to Bruce Springsteen
This is the first in a series of eight interview audio clips with Springsteen that we will post over the next several weeks. Be sure to check back here weekly to listen to the newest clip.
In March, prior to the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's new exhibit, From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen, I had the good fortune to go to New Jersey to interview Bruce. When I arrived at his house, Bruce was in a small studio room off the kitchen, wailing away on his guitar. His recording engineer, Toby Scott, was behind the board. Toby had played a major role in putting the exhibit together, serving as my main point person in the Springsteen camp to help me select the many artifacts for the exhibit. They finished laying down the track, and Bruce and I sat down in his living room to do the interview. He told me stories about several of the items in the exhibit. Everything went very smoothly, with one exception: Bruce's rather large cat kept running into the room and jumping on my lap. Since I have a dog and a cat at home, it didn't really bother me. But Bruce kept chasing the cat out of the room, shutting the door behind him. But the cat would push the door open and run back into the room. At one point, Bruce leaned down toward my microphone and said, "We have a fat-cat problem here!"

Check back for interview clip #2, where Springsteen talks about what it was like recording in New Jersey in 1965.

Interesting takes about the Urban Meyer outburst from Doug Goettlieb and Mike Golic on today's ESPN Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show.
Doug Goettlieb, who subbed in for Mike Greenberg, and Golic called Urban Meyer a bully for how he approached Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler after Wednesday's spring football practice.
But Mike Golic followed up with an interesting question.
Was the reporter wrong at all for just tweeting that one line before his article?
Goettlieb: I'd say yes, I would agree with you. It takes it out of context and makes it seem like Deonte Thompson is calling out his former quarterback when it's not at all was saying if you look at entire quote. And for that he's wrong and for that he probably could apologize to Urban Meyer.
Neither host stated what tweet line they were referring to, but here are Fowler's three tweets from his account @osgatorsMonday afternoon following the practice where Deonte Thompson made his famous quotes.
WR Deonte Thompson on diff b/t Tebow and Brantley: "With Brantley, everything with rhythm, with time. You know, a real quarterback." 2:26 PM Mar 22nd via TweetDeck
http://bit.ly/acjlBZDeonte Thompson sounds happy to usher in the post-Tebow era. 3:06 PM Mar 22nd via TweetDeck
In fairness to Thompson, he either meant Brantley is simply more of a traditional-style QB or he wanted to slight Tebow. 3:33 PM Mar 22nd via TweetDeck
Sounds pretty fair to me. Matter-of-fact, Jeremy Fowler set up the quote with context which is pretty impressive considering twitter allows just 100 characters. It's not exactly a media tool for Shakespearean prose.
Everyone is focused on Thompson's line about Tebow not being a "real quarterback." But let's not forget the other snippet from his interview.
"Lot of things didn't go the way as planned," Thompson said. "Things are going to get better here in the future. Any receiver would be happy. You have a guy like (John) Brantley throwing the ball, spreading it around to everybody."
The words speak for themselves.

Frogg is one third homegrown UK talent and London vocalist Mills, who brings her eclectic music foundation, which lies squarely between guitar songwriting and drum 'n bass. Fusing rap with a raw, English-witted tongue and vocals that harness an individual RnB flava, Mills crosses the British Isles to the open and free music lights of Berlin.
The complementing two thirds of the group are homegrown Berlin talents, who draw on dubby electronic grooves and strong beats, without forgetting the importance of melody. Mo Delgado (Seeed), the production hub of Frogg, brings his earthy and playfully diverse approach, creating a sound that is simply fresh. Luke 4000 (Seeed) is the supporting power, bringing things together and enforcing the onstage funk.
The Berlin-based band released their debut album Blink Blink worldwide in September 2009 under BMG Rights Management. Blink Blink demonstrates Frogg's open perspective on music genres. The band's energetic live shows have so far enjoyed live highlights such as support slots for De La Soul & Miss Platnum.

Sam Harris once wrote that "atheism" is "a term that should not even exist," because "no one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist'. We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle." In context, he didn't seem to be attacking atheism as an identity movement, just noting that in a world in which nearly everyone accepted reality, we wouldn't have a word for atheism (this is from A Letter to a Christian Nation). But in Julian Baggini's new piece for The Financial Times, on "Atheism in America," he interviewed Harris, who seems to be backing the vocal few in society who have denounced the atheist identity movement in America.
It's no secret that I believe the atheism identity movement (represented by such projects as the Out Campaign) is a powerful and important moment in American history. But quoting Baggini:
Not everyone agrees that this is the way to go. The neuroscientist Sam Harris is one of America's best-known atheists; his 2004 book, The End of Faith, sold over half a million copies. He agrees that the situation for atheists is "analogous to being gay and in the closet for many people", and it is striking that virtually every atheist I spoke to talked the language of being "out" or "in the closet". Nevertheless, Harris argues "it's a losing game to trumpet the cause of atheism and try to rally around this variable politically. I've supported that in the past, I support those organisations, I understand why they do that. But, in the end, the victim group identity around atheism is the wrong strategy. It's like calling yourself a non-astrologer. We simply don't need the term."
Harris is wildly wrong here. If 80% of the country were fanatical astrologers and political and social policy were being driven by or threatened by that, if non-astrologers were treated the way Baggini documents atheists are treated in many states in this country (particularly the rural midwest), if they acted the way people who attacked Jessica Ahlquist did (plus a zillion other things documented in Greta Christina's new book, which I got an advance look at, and it's awesome BTW; but I'll blog all about that when it's out), in a world like that, "non astrologer" would become a meaningful, powerful, and important word. It would be a central and crucial focal point distinguishing people who want a world full of astrologers and people who don't. It informs anyone who hears it where you stand on the whole "faith-based epistemology" thing. It says you aren't going to be cowed into denying who you are, into living in the closet, pretending to be an astrologer. It says you are one of those unusually sane people who realizes astrology is bullshit. In a world full of astrologers, that's just about the most important information I could ever learn about you (not quite, but nearly).
A Christian apologist (I can't recall who) once quipped in a debate that if his godless opponent were walking down a dark street late at night and heard a bunch of people running up behind him, wouldn't he prefer to know they were a bunch of young men leaving a bible study class? Well, no. If a bunch of bible study nuts were running up behind me in the dark of night, as a very out atheist I would be a little worried, and certainly more on my guard than if it were, say, a bunch of random joggers. But if they were a bunch of young folk leaving an atheist meetup? I'd feel not only perfectly safe, but quite happy. It thus would mean something to me that they were wearing "Atheist Pride" T-Shirts, that they were leaving a coffee shop with an "Atheist Meetup!" sign propped up outside. The word communicates something to me that is incredibly meaningful in the social context we now find ourselves in.
This doesn't mean I assume all atheists are nice and trustworthy guys and gals. But statistically, a group of them is not going to be up much mischief. To the contrary, they're more likely to be picking up trash as they go, and chatting about tax policy or Dr. Who. My point is that atheism as an identity means something: it's how we find each other (as opposed to the state of things before, when theists arranged society by various assumptions and pressures so as to isolate us, making it near impossible for atheists to know they weren't alone, much less get together and organize). That's just about the most important thing that can happen for freethought: Atheists finding each other. Atheists organizing. Atheists sharing notes. Atheists identifying with a movement to which they belong…not because of their gender or politics or interest in knitting, but because they don't buy into this "astrology" thing (to keep with Harris' analogy). They are like us, because they, like us, have admitted the emperor has no clothes. And in a world run largely by people convinced the emperor is fabulously dressed, and who socially punish everyone who disagrees with them, saying out loud that we side with the no-clothers is pretty damned important.
I won't dwell on alternative monikers. Other words don't work. Christians claim to be skeptics. They claim to be freethinkers. They claim to be humanists. But you will never find a Christian claiming to be an atheist. It's therefore an ideal label: that you are willing to identify as an atheist means something very distinct from, say, only being willing to identify as a "secular humanist." Old folks do the latter. The young, the future of this country, do the former. It proves you don't buy into the stigma anymore, that in fact the stigmatization of the word "atheist" is precisely what's wrong with this country, and therefore stealing that identity back and making it our own is precisely the only way we will have our victory and be accepted for who we are: people who don't see the emperor's clothes. Whereas, the problem with "agnostic," for example, is that an agnostic is an "atheist," so to prefer "agnostic" as a label tends to have a psychological, not a rational motive behind it (see my past blog Atheist or Agnostic?). In fact, it communicates that you are still cowed by the stigma. You are not free. Or you are not proud of who you really are. Or you are afraid of what it means to be who you are.
To identify as an atheist is brash, it's self-affirming, it's the identity of choice for the young, the new generation, the people who are going to change everything (because they are literally going to inherit the earth from us). It's a direct challenge to the status quo. And being willing to openly join a movement posing that challenge means something. For example, a meeting billed as "skeptics" this or that usually means they want to be inclusive and non-offensive; but I don't want to have to censor myself; I want to be with people willing to call themselves atheists, with whom I can be completely who I am. I can only have that at meetings billed as "atheists" this or that. And that's a real, tangible difference, one I experience year in and year out. It thus clearly does matter.
Many studies had once been done that religion was good for your health and happiness. But due to a variety of methodological flaws (such as conflating all "nones" as a single category rather than distinguishing apatheists from philosophically committed or even organized atheists: see my comments on Atheism and Depression) these studies were subsequently refuted by another round of studies that identified church attendance as the thing that was good for your health and happiness. But those studies were flawed by not asking the more fundamental question: what is it about church that would have such an effect? And so the latest studies have found that church and religion actually have nothing to do with it: in fact, anyone who identifies with a movement and who regularly socializes (e.g. bowling clubs, atheist meetups) gains exactly the same benefit. See Chaeyoon Lim and Robert Putnam, "Religion, Social Networks, and Life Satisfaction," American Sociological Review 75.6 (2010): 914–33. Lim and Putnam concluded that "religious belonging, rather than religious meaning, is central to the religion–life satisfaction nexus." Thus we don't have to believe in god, we just have to belong to a community sharing a common identity and worldview.
When I see the science showing group identity and socialization as keys to health and happiness, the latter I knew, but it's the first of those that catches my eye: human happiness depends on a feeling of belonging, of social identity, of not being the "only" one who doesn't see the emperor's clothes. Thus our happiness depends on creating an atheist movement all atheists can identify with and draw comfort and meaning from. In fact, studies suggest you don't even have to go to atheist meetings to benefit from having an atheist movement to identify with: just having a community you strongly identify with alone conferred psychological and health benefits; getting out and socializing on a regular basis, only more so. And where else will you be completely comfortable socializing? Atheist groups. How will there always be an atheist group near you that you can regularly socialize with? Only if there is a broad, strong, and growing national atheist movement.
Sure, maybe in a hundred years all our atheist clubs will segue into philosophy clubs and Harris' dream of no longer needing the word will come to pass. But we're nowhere near there yet. For now, what separates us from the deluded and irrational masses is our common realization that the emperor does indeed have no clothes; and our sanity depends on socializing with others who see that, too. And not only that. Even just the existence of the movement contributes to human happiness, as that fact alone consoles and uplifts atheists who can't socialize with other atheists (for whatever reason). It even adds to the happiness of those who already do socialize with other atheists. It really is a rising tide that lifts all boats.
So we should rally around this identity, use it to find each other, and to create a distinct community, and thereby create an identity and a sense of belonging. It's not a victim thing (as Harris mistakenly presumes), but a power thing, a freedom thing, a belonging thing. Once we rally around this as an identity to build a movement around, we just need to make it as inclusive as makes sense, so everyone can be "completely who they are" at atheist meetings. We have people working at making atheism more inclusive of women and LGBT, for example (Greta Christina, Natalie Reed, etc.), and black Americans (Black Skeptics, The Crommunist, etc.), and others. Yes, we do need some core moral values, and we haven't settled on any agreed set yet (honesty, reasonableness, and compassion are obvious, but the devil is in the details; just how much and what kind of honesty, reasonableness, and compassion is the "minimum entry requirement" to belong and do well), but that's another thing we are working on. In the meantime, atheism as an identity is creating a movement, it's creating networks, organization, knowledge. It's creating, in other words, power. Something atheists never had. And will never have by any other means. That's what the New Atheism is really all about: taking back who we are, becoming something as a movement.
Our comfort and sanity also depend on our not being disenfranchised, on having a recognized voice in the political discourse deciding our fates by deciding how our country gets run and what we do with its public resources. And that means we need to show our numbers, and the strength of our commitment and motivation, as well as show we have a political voice, a public presence and a lot of votes. Thus it is that the Reason Rally next month is crucial, not just for sending a message to Washington, but to America, that we aren't a fringe minority but a fast-growing minority with as much legitimacy as Jews or Mormons or LGBT. To show them that, we need physical numbers.
So if you can go, you should go (there is a network of charter buses in place to help you do that), not just to enjoy all the speakers and entertainments and fellow like-minded non-astrologers, but to represent us all, those of us who can't make it (because, like me, they can't afford it; or like my wife, they can't get time off from work), and to up our physical presence as an identity in this country, to show the nation that we are not insignificant and we do talk to each other and we organize. And if you can't go, you should donate, to help them recover the costs of putting this on and making this statement to the government and the nation, because this is doing you a big favor, and so it is worth your while to back it (not least so that future efforts will know the support is there). You can also buy their swag, if you are more into the free market thing.
Yes, this is one of those "inclusive" things, but not in a "shush the atheist" way. Atheists will be as welcome, and can be as out as anyone there, and feel completely themselves, represented and supported.
So go! Or support it some other way. PZ posted a video that he says will persuade you: Time to Stand Up.

Well, that post about nas is a lil one btw. I think you could find more sht on nas.
have you seen the piramid on his arms?
well, not only those 2 images disturb me, if you chek out other pictures of him, he has a david (zionist star) TATOED!! I have no clue how lupe goes with those kind of people... also one of their members said we must destroy all religions, or something like that. I had a post on them... also another member has himself pictured like a baphomet.... also alot of illuminati and designs on their false brand.. I might do a post on them. I also saw a piramid with the allseeing eye on their false site..
and this clip death in disco , is deff full of symbolism, 1;43 you see life gates where he puts a disco ball on one of the gates 9/11 he skips 1 wich means skipping god, doing magic. besides he does hail diabo tru out the clip and.
as of other artist, I know that alot of them look up to those like jay-z , nas, p diddy , dr dre , ect.. so they actually spread the same thing with their clothes + lifestyle + lyrics, so that the youth cant sperate real from fake. so basicly its all the same. And some of them are not awear but they do it becouse they need from the labels!
Do you know if Nas is satanic or anything??' well if you listen to his lyrics probably yes, atleast from what ive heard, I also been on a concert (back then I didnt know about alot of stuff)
f.e you see him calling himself 'gods son' and also picturing himself as a pharaoh... pharaohs used to think they were gods... besides that there is some more on him, if you listen to his lyrics f.e in the nigger song he says there logdes all acros the nation clicks movin like freemasons, so prolly he is involved into the same crap.
and also what are some good music artists that sing in english that have a positive message that you recommend to listen to?? ummm ... the only group I know is Native Deen (a islamic based rnb group). and Dawud Wharnsby (give me your email i will provide you with some mp3s cuz its hard to find)
if you like hiphop you should chek out muslim belal ,
cause nowadays i dont know who to support and who not to..
yepp , it feels kinda weird to see lupe go astray..... his father was a good human, to bad he never reached lupe good enough... i think lupe is hanging with the bad people like kanye west.. and so on.
he is underestimating black magic and spells that could be done on people!
peace brother! pm me your msn (or email) and i will deleted after I added u peace!
ye bro.. i got bunch of other stuff on him.. maybe doing a expose video but i leave that ova to another brother who is good @ that.. i got buch of pics of lupe illuminati/devil shit on my pc haha too bad he sold out ;/
but yeah no one understand here what up lately haha im glad I do ;)

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Lawns, Ground Cover, & Wildflowers
Kill Weeds With Heat (page 3 of 3)
by Dan Hickey
When used properly, flamers provide effective weed control.
Here are a few important safety tips:
- Never flame weeds during extremely dry periods. Flamers produce intense heat; even wet mulch will ignite. Don't flame if you have any debris around and as little as a 3- to 5-mile-per-hour wind.
- If you're using a flamer with an extension hose, keep the flame away from both hose and tank.
- Though the flamer's handle doesn't get hot, the flaming tip does. Even after turning off the flame, keep the flamer away from people and combustible materials.
- Always be cautious when lighting the flamer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.

The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place. It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.

It's in Ottawa where the Illinois River meets Buffalo Rock. Buffalo Rock sits like a sandstone island above the surrounding land and the Illinois River, and offers sweeping views of this famed waterway. On your journey down the river, your eyes will never tire from all the wildlife that call the river home. From Black-crowed heron, river otters, Western ribbon snakes even bald eagles. In some spots you'll traverse tight canyons with tall rock formations on either side, and in other areas you'll share the river with barges and commercial boats. Whether you're kayaking or canoeing, you'll experience the shear power of the winding river that was carved by glacial melt water in all its seasonal colors, with its various incarnations of forests, wetlands, bluffs and prairies to enjoy.

This is the fourth clip in a series of eight interview audio clips with Springsteen that we will post over the next several weeks.
In this portion of my interview, Bruce Springsteen talks about the recording session he did when he was auditioning for Columbia Records. The session took place on May 2, 1972. The "John" who Bruce refers to is the legendary A&R man John Hammond, who oversaw the session and, ultimately, signed Bruce to Columbia. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Hammond also signed Bob Dylan and played a major role in launching the careers of Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless others. The Springsteen exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum includes the original tapes and tape boxes from the audition session. In addition, a listening station in the exhibit enables visitors to listen to eight of the songs Bruce recorded that day.

So I would like to know if I am doing this correctly. Here's the question:
Solid B has a volume of 8(pi)
It also is a Pyramid with a square base and a height of 8. What is the length of the side (s) of the base of B?
The Cross-sectional area would be A(x)=s^2 And I would need to write s in terms of x to put it in the definite integral to find the volume.
Since the height of the pyramid 8, I can make the Vertex of it at (0,0) and then make the base centered at (8,0). So the cross-sectional areas would need to be summed up on the interval [0,8]. I can find the volume of the pyramid:
At the end of the base where x=8, the side (s) of the base would be 2y. So then something times x must give 2y
Since k^2 is a constant:
Solving for k:
Since: Plug in x=8 and k.
Could someone tell if this method is correct? I just started learning this and it's kind of confusing.

More: Do you feel the music of today is different from when you started out in the business?
Jody Watley: When I listen to the radio I sometimes say to myself, "Did they really just say that?" For me, it was great to come through an era of music that was fun and wholesome.
More: You haven't hung up the microphone as of yet?
JW: Yes, I have been working on some new material for the past four years. The title of my next album will be "Chameleon," and the first single, called "Night Life," will be out after the first of the year. However, it is hard to get airplay when you are competing with artists like Nicki Minaj and Justin Beiber. Even Madonna had a difficult time after she put out her last album.
More: Has that put a damper on your attitude?
JW: No. I am not making music to compete with these teenage artists. That is not me, nor what I aspire to be. The only person I want to be is myself, and that is what I am focusing on. I am also a songwriter, and those tunes that I put out are stories about me and what I have gone through. Even my hit single "Looking for a New Love" came after a breakup.
More: You had friends and men break your heart?
JW: That's life [laughs]. I am no different from anyone else.
More: Lately, you have been under the radar.
JW: When everything happened for me I was already a mom, and that was a job I took extremely seriously. I wanted to be a responsible parent, and taking care of my children was the number-one priority. I stayed out of the gossip magazines because I refused to let my life spiral out of control, especially after seeing so many famous people meet a tragic end.
More: How do you not get caught up in the fame?
JW: This business is very superficial. You can't get caught up in it. You just can't. You have to make the right choices in life if you want to succeed and have longevity.
More: Have you ever received any personal requests from your friends or your kid's friends who asked you to sing at their party?
JW: I have done some private events, and a wedding in China for two executives who were fans of mine. Although those were paid assignments, I was really into doing them, because if I have the ability to make a bride and groom even happier on their big day, that is so thrilling for me.
More: A big theme here at More is reinvention. Your last album was called The Makeover. Am I seeing a connection?
JW: I have always been reinventing myself. My first album was trendy, funky, pop and dance music. My second album was more high-fashion themed, my third album was a complete about-face because it was a soul-like album, and my fourth album was all introspective and relationship-based. I was going through a divorce at the time, so my music reflected that period in my life. As for my image, it has always been changing and evolving, along with my music.
More: Is it safe to say you are all about reinventing your music and style?
JW: I like to challenge myself and keep it interesting. I like evolution. It is part of my journey as an artist.
More: Speaking of artists, if you could do a duet with another singer, past or present, who would it be?
JW: I have a few that come to mind. Maxwell is definitely one. He is so cool and has great style. I have always wanted to work with Sting because I have a huge crush on him. If I am in my classic mood I would love to team up with Tony Bennett or Frank Sinatra. Among the artists of today, I would love to work with Rihanna. She and I could be really hot together because her music is where it's at.
More: You mention your divorce. Was ending your marriage difficult?
JW: When I went through my divorce I felt bad about myself, because, like everyone, I wanted the fairy tale and I didn't get it. It was such a letdown and disappointment, but because I had children I had to pick myself up for their sake.
More: You are now in your fifties. How does that feel?
JW: I feel great. I am comfortable in my own skin. I am really happy and open to new possibilities. With age comes wisdom, and that is a benefit of where I am. I think that age is how you feel about it, and in my mind I am 25 years old. I take care of myself, I like the way I look, and I keep a positive attitude. The beauty of getting older is learning to appreciate yourself and ignoring your insecurities. My motto is, "Stay fabulous at any age!"
More: Insecurities? You?
JW: We all have them, and, yes, we all have something that creates self-doubt. I remember, growing up, thinking my smile was all teeth. I also have almond-shaped eyes, and got teased as a child for it. Believe it or not, you carry those memories as you get older.
More: Speaking of having something fabulous, you have something really fabulous to add to your résumé: You recently starred in the production "Loving the Silent Tears." Tell me all about that.
JW: It was at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. There were 16 artists from around the world, including Israel, Iran, Brazil and Vietnam, who took part in this production. It was directed by Vincent Patterson, who worked with Michael Jackson for 17 years. All of the dancing was choreographed by Bonnie Story of High School Musical. Plus, I even got to share the stage with John Secada. The theme was all about finding inner peace, and we got to raise money for charity. It was such a moving experience, and one I will treasure forever.
