Beautiful Bag but durability is questionable
I bought this bag and it has had to be replaced twice by Bosca. If you carry this bag via the shoulder strap which I do nearly exclusively, the design of the strap connections to the sides of the bag cause the strap and buckles to rub against the sides of the flap over, wearing the sides out very seriously and becoming very ragged. If the bag had a leather edge it would be more durable, but it has some sort of a plasticized sealer around the edge of the leather which will break up and ravel off. so, if you are not going to carry via the strap, this is a wonderful bag, but if you plan to carry it over the shoulder, you will be quite unhappy, I believe. As I said, mine was replaced twice and now my third bag is as bad as the first which I returned. Bosca customer service was great, but it could do nothing about the design deficiency of this bag, which needs a strap design similar to the other non gusset flap over brief they have available now. I only wish my bag had been replaced with that one.

No padding in the computer compartment?
This is such a stylish briefcase, classic, practical and timeless, I get compliments wherever I go; but why is there no padding in the computer side? This just doesn't make any sense.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Shire will use the human-derived Homing Peptide platform of Arrowhead Research to develop and commercialize targeted peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs).
In return, Arrowhead said today, it will receive undisclosed research funding and could receive up to $32.8 million in development, regulatory, and commercialization milestone payments for each PDC candidate developed, plus additional milestone payments for a second indication, and royalties on worldwide sales. Additional financial terms of the companies' research collaboration and license agreement were not disclosed.
"With this novel platform technology, Shire has the potential to move into a wider range of orphan diseases," said Philip J. Vickers, Ph.D., head of R&D at Shire Human Genetic Therapies.
The collaboration is the latest in a number of moves by which Shire is seeking to expand its orphan disease portfolio. On Oct. 24, Shire announced a rare-disease research collaboration with Italian biomedical charitable foundation Fondazione Telethon to study at Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine 13 undisclosed rare disease indications with potential to add multiple novel therapeutic candidates to Shire's early-stage pipeline. Shire will provide $22 million over five years for the research projects, designed to address lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
In Shire's latest collaboration, Arrowhead will identify peptides that selectively bind and internalize in an undisclosed tissue type, and that can deliver to that tissue a therapeutic payload. The company will receive funding for its internal and external research program-related costs from Shire, which will have an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize a therapeutic agent targeted by the designated peptides. Shire will oversee clinical development and commercialization of products arising from the collaboration.
Arrowhead has development programs in oncology, obesity, and chronic hepatitis B virus. The company's Homing Peptides comprise what the company says is the world's largest library of human-derived peptide sequences shown to localize to specific tissues in the human body. The platform is designed to enable creation of guided therapeutics that specifically target tissues of interest while sparing off-target tissues.
Christopher Anzalone, Ph.D., Arrowhead's president and CEO, said the company's library of more than 42,000 unique targeting peptide sequences can potentially be used to deliver therapeutics to more than 30 tissue types, while avoiding nonspecific uptake.

Shipping Containers For Underground Bunkers: Read This First!
Anyone who watches Doomsday Preppers on TV, will be forgiven for thinking that you just purchase an old shipping container, dig a hole, throw it in the ground, cover it over, and theres your bunker. True enough, purchasing a shipping container to use as a bunker can be a good be a good way to build a bunker; they cost around $2000-$5000. Some come already insulated and some are ready wired for electricity with lights, sockets and switches etc.
The problem is that shipping containers were not meant to be put in hole in the ground and covered with tons of soil Shipping containers are designed to carry weight across the floor and across their four corners, the sides and roof themselves are not designed to carry weight or resist pressure. There are ways around this problem, such as building a Gabion Basket, but it is above the scope of this post to cover that, so Google is your friend here.
There are also several logistical issues with shipping containers; sure the company selling the container will likely deliver it to your site, but firstly, if you are building your bunker at a remote bug-out location, can a large flat-bed truck even access the site? Secondly, how are you going to get your shipping container into the hole that has been dug for it (actually how are you going to dig the hole, can you get an excavator on site?) Most shipping containers are delivered on roll-off flat-bed trucks There will be no facility to drop the shipping container in place, into the hole dug for it, so how are you going to achieve this? You will likely need to hire a fork-lift or a crane and once again, get it to the site. Also is the site ground safe for a fork-lift or crane to operate? A muddy, rocky and uneven site is going to cause further problems here.
To summarise shipping containers can make excellent under ground bunkers, but there are some serious logistical considerations; how to ensure the shipping container can handle the pressure of being buried under tons and tons of soil, and also planning the location of your underground bunker, so the shipping container can be safely delivered to site and manoeuvred into its final resting place (hole).
This post is not in anyway supposed to cover ALL the pros and cons of using a shipping container for an underground bunker; there are many considerations. The purpose of this article is to get you thinking about the logistics should you be considering purchasing a shipping container to use for an underground bunker. I hope it gives you food for thought and encourages you to do further research and planning before committing to purchase a bug-out location, or possibly buying a container which will end up sitting on site, unused for several years because the project was not thought out properly.

Catwalk for a Cause
The Party
It was Modern Luxury Dallas' eighth annual Fresh Faces of Fashion event, but our first with a new philanthropic partner: Echelon, the Salvation Army's National Young Adult Auxiliary. To fete the pairing, our guests of honor—Meredith Counce, Molly Cox, Alli McGuinness, Meredith Perry, Shelby Goff, Mackenzie Moussa, Sterling Stensrud, Holly Hutchinson, Michelle Hunt, Michelle McAdam and Josie McGray—were all chosen for their support of the charitable organization.
The Scene
As guests arrived at Stanley Korshak, they were greeted by gleaming sports cars from Park Place Porsche, Stoli Elite cocktails, Manuscript wine and Lombardi bites. Upstairs, the lovely ladies (all dolled up by Lure Salon) sashayed down the catwalk in summer-ready KOCH by Nicole Musselman as friends and family cheered them on.
The Highlights
Afterward, it was back down to The Shak, which Events Moderne turned into a nightclub with tunes by DJ Jose G, luxury lounges by Roche Bobois and Baxter, and mini lobster tacos and paper cones filled with truffle oil pommes frites by Lombardi Catering. Between the pumping music and boothBOOTH photo booth, we didn't want the night to end. Fresh indeed. –Photography by Kelly Alexander

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy2014 I Love Tiger Tiger Tikka Cooking Sauce! Every-time I make it for my family they rave over it! August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CurryConvert Better than I expected! I was a little leery about trying this. I am not a huge Curry fan, but my husband likes it. I have always seen recipes for this and other closely related sauces. I thought it would be easier to buy the sauce than buy all the spices and seasonings it takes to make it. It far exceeded my expectations. The curry wasn't over powering and not to spicy. Good all around flavor. I did add a little salt, onions, and butter along with my chicken. I had bough several jars thinking it wouldn't make enough sauce for all my chicken I had. The directions don't specify how much chicken it will coat sufficiently. I will be making it again for sure. I have 2 more jars. January 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DelMarDiva Pretty Good But Not The Best This sauce is pretty tasty and definitely has more flavor than the Tiger Tiger Butter Chicken sauce so it's not a bad way to go for a quick and easy meal. However, in my opinion, Mr. Kook's Butter Sauce is a lot more flavorful and has a better texture than this one so that gets the gold star. Which sauce you prefer may depend on personal preference so I would recommend trying the Tiger Tiger Tikka and Mr. Kook's Butter and making your own decision which is better since those are the two best I've found thus far. Happy eating! July 31, 2013

Let's Talk Marriage!
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
My husband acts jealous of me, puts me down to the kids. Rolls his eyes when I talk, leaves without kissing me goodbye when he is mad at me, blah blah blah. I try to ignore it but it is really taking its toll on me. Help, any advice!!
Patricia - I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage! When's the last time you went on a date?
Sunday with another couple. That's when he rolled his eyes at me.
Believe me there is nothing to b jealous of and I think it's his own insecurities but just the same hard to live with.
Any 10 year anniversary ideas. It is the end of May.
Patricia - yuck!! Sounds like his sense of respectfulness (towards you, but also maybe towards himself) has diminished for some reason. Hmmm... I would do two things right away: first, take all the steps you can to boost your own sense of respect for yourself. Whatever makes you feel a bit better about yourself: get your nails done, a new haircut, decluttering around the house, etc. Do something right away to put a little smile on your own face and a little bit of bounce back in your step! Then I would gently probe to see if there is anything making himself feel like less of a man in his own eyes. Is the boss failing to recognize your husband's skills on the job? Mid-winter nasty weather making it impossible for him to get out and do some outdoor activity that makes him feel refreshed? Etc. I would take the personal approach of making RESPECTFUL CONCERN (sympathy) towards him your 1st approach (along with a little step up in personal grooming. A little extra care for make up and hair on my part always seems to re-remind my husband that I exist, lol!) But #1, melt his hardness with your concern for & pride in him. Works in my marriage, anyway. It takes the wind out of his [irritated] sails. If this indirect approach doesn't work very fast (and sometimes it doesn't because he's so wrapped up in himself at the time), I usually start crying at some point. But I don't think of this as a fail. It is LOADS better than confrontation / "having a talk" with him because then *he* initiates a conversation instead of me being the one to say "hey, we need to talk about something." If the conversation was his idea, he's so much more open. Okay, that's what we do. Can you tell I have experience with this? Its one of my pet peeves.
Today is our anniversary. My parents were going to watch the kids so we could go out this evening, but they just phoned to say they are sick. I had no back-up plans. Ideas, anyone??? Its a little late to plan/cook a nice dinner (unless I buy ready-made stuff in the deli). But I'm drawling a blank. Other than foods, what's a nice way to celebrate at home with the little kids?
Family movie-night we rent a movie on cable make some popcorn. And snuggle on the couch!!
Thank you. Not today, ladies. For the advice!!
Hi Jen, you could do dinner in tonight if it is a necessity and reschedule your dinner out when you have babysitting.
@ Jay. For our 15th anniversary we spent a day together on a mini "staycation" of sorts. We were able to get a babysitter and spent the day doing things that we weren't able to easily do with kiddos in tow. We started the day with Mass. We toured a few museums and were able to look at the paintings, toured the botanical garden and enjoyed the flowers, took a paddle boat ride for two, and followed it up with a nice dinner for us. It was nice to be able to just spend the day together and not rush through the things we once were able to leisurely enjoy. Happy anniversary.
A little late for the anniversary date but for our 20th we stayed home and watched the video of our wedding with the kids. I wanted to do something more elaborate but it didn't work out and this is what my husband came up with at the last minute. Turned out...it was beautiful.
Questions if anyone is still reading...I have a couple friends who don't have great marriages. At least four completely different situations. I feel at this point that God is asking me to reach out to them more than just the sounding board/support I've been. A couple of them already feel so low...but I really think it's not completely the husbands fault. Do I point out their part? Two are more acquiantences so I don't have that strong relationship where I would feel right doing so. The other is close but lives across the country and is so alone I'm not sure if I should try to help or just listen. Any ideas? I've always appreciated it when I get advice (years ago a priest gave me the advise Not today, ladies gave and I am so grateful.) WWYD?
Re: Anniversaries My husband and I have been married for 31 years. We have 5 children. There have many anniversaries where we just did a candlelight dinner at home either because of budget constraints, one of the kids being sick, or just can't get a babysitter. Those are some of our best memories. Sometimes simple is better. Just saying. :)
To Ms. 31 years married.... what is your budget? I mean doesn't everyone want to just get away and celebrate each other? Then plan for it. I am shaking my head. Typical dinner out for two people is no more than $30 bucks. In Florida, $30 is not a lot of money. Neither is $180 for two nights out with meals. $12 bucks max is a bottle of wine. NO beer. Putting away $200 during the year is about a buck 82 a day. We have a bagel jar and use coupons and put the savings away for each other. And we set boundaries with kids that we are going to foster and the agency, and the inlaws and outlaws. God bless you and try it and have 4 back ups and their phone numbers. Make them sign that they know they must be reliable. Do it for each other.
@Jeanne, yes, plan for it is a great idea. Especially because once you have a plan, life always goes according to that plan. @RealMom4Life, I'd say your instinct is probably right with the acquaintances: it's just hard to navigate something so sensitive with someone you don't know as well (though Jen Fulwiler has a good Yaya story [IT AIN'T OUT THERE!] too, so if you could possibly be a Yaya-type, maybe you could get away with it, lol! (Though if you were that type, you'd not likely be asking us.) But for the people you do see often, could you ask them gently if they'd like your take or if they just want to vent? Or, if the venting seems to go on endlessly without any actual good being done, maybe you could (gently again) point out that the only person one can change is oneself. And then acknowledge the frustration with the dh, but give a few suggestions that you think could be helpful for them to do regardless of dh. You could be specific to their situation here or keep it general ("get counseling" "read the 5 Love Languages") depending on how receptive you think they'll be.
@Anna, thanks for the suggestions...nope...not the yaya type :) but you've suggested a good way of letting them know I can try to help if they want me to and leave it to them to tell me if they want it. As far as weddings...anniversaries...date nights...etc go I think it's important to do what is right for you and your dh. Everyone is different. My sister and her dh surprise each other by taking turns planning a night away on their anniversary every year. I think it's really neat. I have no desire to do it though. Neither my dh nor I enjoy going out, we didn't go out much while dating for 7 years and still don't enjoy it 20 years later (if we weren't out doing something like biking or skating we usually went to one of our homes...and we both lived with our parents). So forcing date night would be no fun. We get time together after the kiddos are in bed. Sometimes we stay up late talking. Tonight we went snowmobiling for an hour from our home. That's us. (BTW: sorry, didn't mean to be misleading about my desire for more elaborate 20 yr anniversary plans....I wanted a special dinner with just the 2 of us while the kids watched a movie in the other room ;) ) and our video....a friend of my parents owned a VHS camcorder...that was their gift to us. I think the challenge with online comments is the point doesn't always come across as intended...we are pretty simple people...and happily married.
arggg...not used to the "lack of formatting" most of my response wasn't meant to be directed to Anna. But this is so much better than when it was all down!
Thanks, all! I ended up buying a mini-cheese cake sampler at the grocery store and everyone (even the toddler) had a piece (extra fun was the fact that the sampler had four mini-slices in a different flavor, so the kids had fun choosing which flavor they wanted!) It was really nice, somehow... maybe because after the dinner plans (yes, plans, Jeanne!) fell through, my husband wasn't expecting anything at all.
Hello... Call him on it every time his behavior is disrespectful. Don't blame him though!! Just say that this behavior (I.e. eye rolling or whatever) hurts your feelings and is unacceptable. Say it WITHOUT anger!!! Then walk away. Be consistent. Don't change who you are. Remain kind and loving in all other usual ways. He may not change his behavior but at least you know you've stuck up for yourself. God said for our husbands to treat us with love and kindness...the foundation for this is respect!!! Good luck and God bless!!!

ZF-10042: Variables assignment option for Zend_View
Please add an option to Zend_View allowing assignment of view variables when Zend_View is constructed.
For example:
$view = new View(
'assign' => array(
'keywords' => 'zend framework, php, framework'
'pragma' => 'no-cache',
'footertext' => 'MyProject (C) 2010',
'somedata' => array('foo', 'bar')
This would allow passing variables direct from configuration (Zend_Application_Resource_View) to Zend_View, like:
resources.view.assign.keywords = "zend framework, php, framework"
resources.view.assign.pragma = "no-cache"
resources.view.assign.footertext = "MyProject (C) 2010"
resources.view.assign.somedata[] = "foo bar"
Patch attached.
Attach the right file, ignore View.php
Adding alternative way to solve this improvement as it was suggested in the issue description. (View.php.patch-alt)
Kim -- the patch can be made simpler: simply pass $config['assign'] to $this->assign() if it's set and an array. :)
Fixed in trunk at r23991 and in release branch 1.11 at r23992

Coast Guard: 3 plucked from inlet after boat capsizes
Published: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 9:05 p.m.
Three men escaped injury when their boat capsized in heavy seas at the mouth of Ponce de Leon Inlet, a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said.
"About 3:30 p.m. (Sunday) a 10-foot-long boat with three persons aboard capsized," Petty Officer Jessica Potter said Monday morning. "The boat was too small for sea and wind conditions."
She said a Good Samaritan spotted the overturned boat and plucked its unidentified occupants out of the water before a crew from U.S. Coast Guard Station Ponce de Leon Inlet arrived on scene.
Port Orange real estate agent Phil Hanner said he was walking with his daughter along the North Jetty of the inlet when he saw what looked like men standing upon the water.
"They were waving their arms trying to get someone's attention," Hanner said. "It was super rough out there."
A stand-up paddleboarder went to the men's aid, he said.
Hanner said a crew from Towboat US hooked a line to the capsized craft and towed it to shore.
Neither Potter nor Hanner could say whether the boat's occupants were wearing lifejackets at the time of the mishap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Freebird It's a great teapot I worried about ordering this after reading a negative review but figured I couldn't go too far wrong with the price of it so I ordered one. It is great. The whistle isn't loud but it's there. The color is just as pictured. It works great! It adds a wonderful, bold pop of color to my kitchen. February 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KikiS Stylin' Teapot I really like the look and color of this teapot and it whistles too. It doesn't leak from the top when you pour and boils more evenly than my last teapot. August 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Figgyme First one broke, Second one Broke Had to stop to write a review for this tea kettle. It was inexpensive and looked great in my kitchen. I brought the first one home happily but after the first use, the black spout cover/whistle was stuck open, the spring or whatever it was had broken. I couldn't shut it, and thus the kettle didn't whistle or close. I went back and asked for a new one, brought it home, and the whistle fell out of the top in three days. The glue just came undone - I guess, and the metal part fell out. Together with the other review for the blue model that says she returned a dented kettle and received another dented kettle, this tea kettle is clearly a mistake for the World Market. July 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by NotAFan1 What a disappointment Well, I guess the old adage: "you get what you pay for," is sadly true here. This is cheap, cheap, cheap. Cheaply constructed. Cheap materials. A waste of your money. The kettle is made of either tin or aluminum, not sure which and it doesn't really matter. It feels like a fork could puncture it. It's also VERY noisy. Because the metal is so thin, you hear the gas heating the container and then the water. It's as if someone left the faucet on. All in all, this is piece of junk. Don't waste your money!

Rated 2.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ConnecticutHome Nice, great looking flatware I don't usually write reviews, but I just came home from vacation having wandered into a world market store (without a smartphone handy) and my husband and I made an impulse purchase - this set of flatware, service for 12, so 60 pieces in all. We lugged it home in our suitcases and then I checked out the reviews and almost was really bummed out by that negative review of these. I quickly unpacked the flatware and began taking off the tags - they all came off beautifully. Out of 60 pieces, only 2 labels stuck on the knives and required a small drop of goof off and voila, came right off with no problems. I actually sat down at the table and tried eating with them, just to be sure that review wasn't true #the part about throwing food all over myself) and lo and behold, I managed to get through a meal without looking like my 2 year old does post-self-feeding. Amazing. So, folks, rest assured, these are as nice as they look. They're heavy and there isn't a visible seam down the edges like some chintzy flatware sometimes has. The sides are nicely beveled, they feel solid and look wonderful. After a few uses, still looking just like when I purchased them. November 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WandaFiftyPlus This flatware is phenomenal! This flatware I purchased for everyday use. I know that it can be used for formal settings as well. I love the functionality of this set. Its durable, not too heavy and fits well in your hand. Washes well. Just make sure you dry them soon after washing. As with most flatware, they will spot. All in all, they're great. I love this set! April 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mcnick LOVE the design, but have to return them I bought several pieces of this silverware just before Christmas--we've been using them for a little over three months. There are two adults in our household and we use them almost daily. We do place them in our dishwasher, but the description definitely states they are dishwasher safe. I absolutely love the design. They are a bit wonky to nest together in the drawer, but they have a very nice weight to them and they look way more expensive than they were. Sadly, I recently noticed that almost all the pieces have started to rust at the "joint" where the rough handle meets the smooth part of the utensil. For this reason I will be returning them. April 3, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by asiems Unless you want to wear your food - SKIP this style of flatware!! We were very excited to find this flatware when we didn't receive any of the pieces we registered for in a similar style at another store. And when we saw it was half the price of the other store we jumped on it & purchased 14 place settings of each piece. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!! We thought the fact that this flatware was heavy was a sign that it was good quality... don't be fooled like we were. The manufacturer of this product never thought to consider that the handles & the utilitarian end of the utensil should be balanced. So if you set ANY piece of this type of flatware down on the edge of your plate, be prepared for the food to fly!! The super heavy weight of the handle makes it practically unusable. And trust me, you can't just learn to live with it. Unless you never set your utensils down, even with careful use, you'll end up with stained clothing, flooring, furniture, chair cushions... you name it! Oh & one other thing worth noting.. the price tags on these pieces are extremely difficult to remove. On at least 10 of the pieces the price tag pulled off the "silver colored coating" & we now have gold brass spots on the handles where the silver bit came right off... and that was without ever having even used any of the pieces. If we could return it all we would, but we kept it too long thinking we just needed to "adjust" to the weight of the handle & all would be well. We went back to the other store to compare their style of this flatware & I can assure you that theirs is properly balanced -- it can be done, it should have been done, but I imagine it's just cheaper not to have to worry about it. TRUTH: You get what you pay for!!! If we could get our $$$ back, we would definitely go with the better quality over this stuff, even at the higher price it's still cheaper than ruined clothing, flooring & furniture. If you're considering buying this stuff, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & keep looking!!! March 14, 2013

Protests amid uncertainty in Tunisia
Demonstrators call on Tunisian Prime Minister Hamdi Jebali to resign, following the death of a secular opposition leader.PT0M0S 620 349
CAIRO: Tunisia's Islamist Prime Minister has offered to dissolve his government and form a national unity cabinet after the assassination on Wednesday night of a leading secular politician caused the country's worst crisis since the Arab Spring.
Thousands of protesters rampaged through cities after Chokri Belaid, 48, head of the small, left-wing Democratic Patriotic Party, was shot three times in the head and chest as he left his home in Tunis.
Mr Belaid had criticised Islamist violence, accusing the ruling party, al-Nahda, and its leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, of sympathising with the perpetrators.

His family blamed al-Nahda for his assassination. Mr Belaid's wife, Basma, said her husband had received daily death threats.
''I saw his blood flowing, I saw his little smile. I saw that they want to kill democracy,'' Mrs Belaid said.
Hours after the assassination, the Tunisian Prime Minister, Hamadi Jebali, said on television: ''I have decided to form a government of competent nationals without political affiliation, which will have a mandate limited to managing the affairs of the country until elections are held in the shortest possible time.''
Grief and bewilderment ... An elderly woman mourns Chokri Belaid. Photo: AFP
Tunisia held parliamentary elections after the Arab Spring, which led to a coalition of the moderate Islamist al-Nahda and two centre-left secular parties taking power.
But the economy has failed to recover from the upheaval and the country has been plagued by violence from radical Salafi Islamist groups, which have disrupted secular political meetings and attacked Sufi Muslim shrines.
Al-Nahda offices were set on fire in towns after news of the assassination broke.
An immediate response ... outrage. Photo: AFP
Mr Ghannouchi condemned the shooting. ''The killers want a bloodbath but they won't succeed,'' he said.
The Tunisian President, Moncef Marzouki, a figurehead from a secular party allied to al-Nahda, was in Strasbourg to address the European Parliament.
''This odious assassination of a political leader, who I knew well and who was my friend, is a threat,'' he said. ''It is a letter sent that will not be received.''

The night before he was killed, Mr Belaid told Tunisian television: ''There are groups inside al-Nahda inciting violence … all those who oppose al-Nahda become the targets of violence.''

Hi fellas,
I joined the forums not far back as a result of trying to get info for my ex-South African military U-Model harley. and appreciated the assistance.
Now it looks like I have just purchased a 44 Chief with sidecar. As a result, I will now be trying to locate a manual for maintenance and a reliable, reasonably priced parts list.
One other question I have also is: due to constant differences in opinions on whether the 44 Chiefs had 16" or 18" rims; I was wondering if anyone in the know could shed some accurate light and some reasoning to the issue.
Thanks in advance.

South Africa : Michelin's recommendations
As big as France, Italy and Germany combined, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the Indian Ocean on the east, the southern tip of Africa boasts an amazing concentration of different landscapes and climates, from dusty savannahs, snowy peaks, deserts of golden and red dunes (Kalahari) and verdant forests to rocky Mediterranean terrain, tropical swamps, boundless beaches and tranquil rivers. Not to mention its teeming urban centres like Johannesburg and Durban where the diversity of ethnic groups and cultures has shaped the vibrant heart of this great land.
The country understandably takes great pride in its natural beauty and fauna, including some of the world's most striking animals roaming free in their natural habitat. And although elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards and buffalo are the stars of the show (the famous big five), you can also see zebra, giraffes, gnus, antelope, hippos, crocodiles, sea turtles and whales.
The bush has been transformed into a vast playground where private reserves and national parks vie to see who can come up with the most creative excursion: skiing on the Kalahari dunes, elephant-watching from a hot-air balloon in the Pilanesberg, or going on a mountain-bike safari in Kruger Park.
Naturally you'll need a bit of time to explore this huge country. Allow at least 15 days and a good thousand kilometres of driving (if possible) to explore Cape Town and its peninsula, the reserves in Matupuland, Hluhluwe Park, the Highveld in Mpumalanga and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Day 257 - There Are Days That I Just REALLY Love My Job
Like when I get to plant containers at homes like this...
I just love the Siam Beauty Musa. And this is the new Coreopsis Cherry Lemonade from Terra Nova - I LOVE IT!!
Here's the new Stars and Stripes Mandevilla
Bottlebrush shrub, Abutilon, red geranium, petunia
Tibuchina standard, variegated bouganvilla, cascading vinca, coleus, purple angelonia
Ruellia, Allamanda, mandevilla, petunia
All this fun in a day's work!
Additional info:
I picked out all these containers for this homeowner when the home was being built. Two of my favorite container/garden accessory suppliers are Elegant Earth in Birmingham, Alabama and Campania International. The big bowls on top of the front porch columns are from Riverside Plastics - they put a special granite finish on these to coordinate with the other planters. I knew logistically it would be a nightmare to get cast stone or concrete planters on roof of this porch (it was huge task just to get the others on the porch!) so I went with Riverside Plastics great quality plastic containers. They still weighed about 75 lbs each.

Yep, you have my dream job you lucky lady! You've created some fabulous containers for this home and garden ... one question though, who gets to lug these containers into their positions? They look heavy!
- June 17, 2011 at 9:57 PM
- barbara wise said...
Bernie, yes, those are some fiercely heavy planters - even before they get planted. The ones on the front porch weighed about 250 lbs unplanted. At this location I plant on site, and loose weight after lugging everything from the truck to the container, planting, cleaning up, and lugging all the debris back to the truck. I could advertise for workers and have them PAY ME for this new weight loss program, toning program called "Planting at really large estate homes".

Phew, 250 lbs! That's a seriously heavy container. I guess it's one weight loss program that does have something about it to actually enjoy! Fabulous work.

Representatives from the Cleburne County Office of Emergency Management have accepted a $10,000 donation from BHP Billiton Petroleum to assist with the purchase of new communications equipment for volunteer fire departments in the county.
"This new communications equipment will ensure that volunteer fire departments out in the county can receive emergency signals during a disaster in a timely and uninterrupted manner," Greg Carr, director of Cleburne County OEM.
The Federal Communications Commission has required that volunteer fire departments, many of which serve rural areas, upgrade to narrow-banding communications equipment. Narrow-banding equipment is the change of bandwidth that channels must operate on to receive emergency signals.
"We greatly respect the important responsibility that the Office of Emergency Management and Judge Jerry Holmes have in helping the residents of Cleburne County during emergencies, and we hope this will make their jobs easier in protecting our fellow Arkansans," said Danny Games, external affairs manager at BHP Billiton.
The Cleburne County Office of Emergency Management serves as the county's coordination center for the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk

Leo Villareal, the Bay Lights' artist (and an Ars reader!), has designed the piece so that a series of patterns will vary across one major section of the bridge each night for the next two years. Ars editor Cyrus Farivar and I ventured out into the cold rainy weather to witness the debut of this groundbreaking piece of public art.
A special thanks to Ars reader Ben Hagen for lending us his balcony on Harrison Street, which gave us access to a spectacular view of the bridge.
As viewed from San Francisco, the Bay Bridge sits behind many piers and ferry terminals that surround the city.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee (left), Bay Lights artist Leo Villareal (center), and Ben Davis (right), chairman of Illuminate the Arts, gave a press conference hours before the launch of the Bay Lights. Mayor Lee insisted that anyone could "imagine anything...in these lights."
Over 25,000 LED lights manufactured by Phillips adorn the Bay Bridge and are attached to its cables with zip-ties. The special Ty-Rap ties can last up to five years, are UV-rated, and have a steel grip.
All of these lights (as shown on this model) were installed late at night, when contractors could block off a lane on the freeway to put them up.
A crowd of people gathers along the Embarcadero before the debut of the Bay Lights. Some people had been camping out since before sunset. Right before the show began, cars were double parking on the main road for a chance to see the show.
The Bay Lights start off as solid lines...
... and then gradually shift through different patterns and designs as the night wears on. If you click through the next few photos in rapid succession, you can almost see the animation on the bridge.
Some of the designs looked like cascading waterfalls, while some of the displays looked like fish swimming through water.
Mayor Lee referred to the Bay Lights as an accessible piece of art—no ticket is required. All you need to do is get to the right spot.
The Bay Lights required $8 million in private donations to stay up and running for two years.
Fortunately, those Phillips LED bulbs are somewhat energy efficient, as each bulb only uses up a single watt.
Referred to as "computer-driven imagery," some of the designs were indeed very abstract...
...and the images they emitted really depend on an individual's interpretation.
For instance, I thought I saw a Japanese ink brush flow through the bridge's steel cables.
But, you may see something entirely different.
The Bay Lights will turn on every night for the next two years on the northern side of the western span of the bridge, between San Francisco and Treasure Island. They are not visible to drivers along the bridge at all. Mayor Lee says that he hopes the Bay Lights can stay up beyond their two-year tenure.
Commemorative pins with interactive LED lights can be purchased for $300. Created by Illuminode, sales of the pendant benefit Illuminate the Arts and the Bay Lights project. Each pendant also reacts to other pendants nearby, as well as with fixed points on Pier 14 near the Bay Bridge.

Miami Dolphins: Morning practice report (Thursday)
Just came back from the (limited, very limited) media availability at this morning's practice. They started off in the bubble, then switched to the outside fields. Some observations:
() Everybody in attendance.
() RT Vernon Carey, who was limited in practice on Wednesday with a right knee issue, had a sleeve on his right knee today but appeared to be doing all the early sled drills.
() DE Tony McDaniel had his right wrist retaped by head trainer Kevin O'Neill during snap drills.
() DE Lionel Dotson was wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg. Doesn't necessarily mean anything.
() ILB Akin Ayodele, who made just one tackle in the loss to the Colts and was playing through a reported back injury, was working in all the ILB drills. Ayodele said on Wednesday his back is not a problem. "Back is good," he said. "I've been practicing, so that's not an issue."
() WR Greg Camarillo, who appears a step slow in the wake of knee surgery last winter, struggled to catch up to a Chad Pennington pass on a deep out. The ball dropped untouched. Didn't kick the ball today, though.
() Receivers worked on double moves. Pennington hit Ted Ginn, Jr. in stride on a deep shot. Could those two finally be growing comfortable with each other? How did Ginn like being the target of 16 Pennington passes on Monday night (resulting in a career-best 11 catches)?
"It felt great just to come up with the balls and make opportunities for him to be able to throw the route and get it to me," Ginn said Wednesday. "It was a great situation."
() Chad Henne, working the same drill — rolling to his right, moving right up to the line of scrimmage before releasing the ball — overthrew Davone Bess on his double move.
() RBs were working on spin moves and ball security on strip attempts. Chargers have forced three fumbles through their first two games, recovering one. The Dolphins have forced just one fumble — Greg Camarillo's strip on Brian Williams' long fumble return against the Falcons — but didn't recover it. Dolphins are one of eight teams without a fumble recovery through two weeks.
() A year after piling up 30 takeaways, the Dolphins have none through two games. The Cowboys are the only other team that can make that dubious claim. Gibril Wilson had the year's first interception in his arms Monday night, and the play was initially ruled an interception, but replay overturned it.
"I felt like we were close [to a takeaway]," Sparano said Wednesday. "I think we're in good position on some things. … It's hard to go a couple, three games without [takeaways]. We need to start to even this deal out. We're 0-5 [turnover ratio], and we've got to find a way to even that up."
() Just nine teams have fewer sacks than the Dolphins' three. Sparano said the Dolphins hit Matt Ryan as many as 12 times in the opener, but that number was only about half that against Peyton Manning, who admittedly gets the ball out as quickly as anybody in the game. "Not enough pressure this past week," Sparano said. "We're always looking for more [pressure] on the quarterback, and we'd like to get it in a way that we don't have to generate." … I only counted four hits on Manning: Philip Merling, Kendall Langford and Joey Porter each knocked him down once, and Porter also had that third quarter sack that allowed to him remove that "sombrero" he's been talking about.
() Phillip Rivers, by the way, has been sacked five times in two games. Dolphins have allowed six sacks so far, four in the opener. Green Bay trails in the pass protection category, allowing 10 sacks thus far.

of your soulmate.
All those poets and songwriters
can't be wrong.
• Everyone is screened
• No games
• Relationship-minded singles
The process is fast and easy.
There's nothing to gain
by waiting, but regrets.
Hi Nicole,
Robert is a wonderful person. I like his calm and endearing personality along with his southern charm. He is a great listener, and gives me much supportive feedback. Also, he has a pretty good sense of humor. Although he is 9 years older than me, it is hard to tell because he takes very good care of himself. He has even inspired me to work out regularly, and I am more conscious about my eating habits.
My experience with California Singles has been great. I don't think I would have found such worthy matches on my own. Working with you, Nicole, has been fantastic. You are always positive, kind and caring. Your input has been helpful too. Finally, I would like to put my membership on hold for now and get to know Robert even more.Sincerely, Kelly

Thunderf00t's post today on the ongoing sexual harassment policy debate (titled MISOGYNIST!!!) has already generated nearly 600 comments (and that in barely half a day). Almost simultaneously, Cristina Rad has told one story of her own and asked whether it falls under the definition of sexual harassment (Educate Me on Sexual Harassment. Case 1.). (My own answer: it does, but only in the moral sense, not the legal, i.e. it was harassing, and it was sexual, and that's the kind of behavior we don't want at events, but not anything we're calling to outlaw). Earlier this month the "ongoing sexual harrassment policy debate" gained a historical treatment, which anyone who wants to get in on this debate had better read first before assuming they have all the information or have been told the truth about it (because a lot of lies have been circulated and are still being generated regarding what has actually been said and done in this debate): see Harassment Policies Campaign – Timeline of Major Events. IMO, most of it has been debating the debate rather than the issue, and most of it consists of reaction to trolls and bullshit rather than worthwhile disagreement (and I will remind you, most does not mean all).
But I find it boils down to five simple truths:
(1) It's true that talking about it makes it seem like it's happening a lot more than it is–but this is a cognitive error in the hearer, not the speaker. (Just as the spectacular school shootings at Columbine and elsewhere caused people to believe school violence was on the rise or even spiraling out of control, when in fact statistics showed it was long in decline and continued to decline ever since. That the human brain has been mistakenly built to translate "talked about a lot" into "happens a lot" is an established cognitive error called the availability heuristic. It is the responsibility of the hearer to correct for this error. Because, as long as they themselves aren't committing it, there is literally nothing the speaker can do to prevent the error…other than what the USSR did, which is bury the truth by preventing anyone from ever talking about it, but I am not claiming anyone has suggested doing this, because I am assuming anyone who values the truth regards that solution as repugnant.)
(2) That being true does not mean there is no problem to address, that nothing ever happens, and therefore no one should openly talk about it. (School violence, after all, does exist and does need policies in place to address and reduce it and protect against it, and we can do even better at that than we are doing. So, too, anything else that actually happens we don't like, regardless of its frequency.)
(3) Saying we need to address the problem is a request to discuss what the best policy would be, not a declaration that all must adopt some unspecified draconian policy. (Insert random fantasy here as to what you think a sexual harassment policy would entail.)
(4) There can be rational and friendly discussion over what policy recommendations go too far (e.g. prohibitions on speakers having sex with attendees–not only excessive when the attendees are their husbands or wives, but even the distinction between "married or not married" in this respect is not anyone's business), and what policy recommendations are not within the means of a group to enact (e.g. controlling behavior in pubs open to the general public), and what policy recommendations might actually be a good idea (e.g. having a reporting procedure in place, making sure all staff know about it and to take it seriously, and thereby keep good records of anything that happens or is complained about and who was involved, and to make sure any attendee knows this will be done and with all requested confidentiality), and what behaviors will be deemed acceptable and not acceptable at any given venue (some venues may have more relaxed rules than others, some contexts at the same venue may have more relaxed rules than others), so that everyone can know what is expected of them and what will earn a negative reaction (such as, a warning for first offense, expulsion without refund for persistent offenses, or even a ban from future attendance for the worst offenders). (The best stock policy, BTW, is outlined on the GeekFeminismWiki, and it's worth pointing out that even that page says you don't need to adopt the offered policy as-wrote, but can revise it to suit your conference or community's own values and preferences.)
And finally…
(5) Anyone who does not agree with points 1 through 4 is not being reasonable.
Basically, what most women want to know is that the officers and staff at any given venue will have their back. As in: take them seriously, and make clear to them what it is that the organizers will frown upon and what it is that they will allow, and then do whatever is within their means to do to maintain that atmosphere. All major conferences in all fields (from entertainment to industry) have these policies. So for us not to have them makes us look lame by comparison–even openly sex-positive "free love" conferences have them: see Sexual Harassment and the OpenSF Conference Code of Conduct. Indeed, you really need to read the perspective of an outside conference professional: An Organizational Perspective; and for an example of how this problem was recognized and treated by other conference communities last year, like the tech-con community, see Sexual Harassment at Technical Conferences: A Big No-No. (BTW, it is very interesting to compare the behavior and responses in the comments thread following that announcement, with how the same exact thing has been responded to in the atheist community, which has often been alarmingly more dismissive, sexist and immature.)
If conferences want to draw more women, they have to do this. What any minority of women say they are comfortable with is irrelevant, because conferences don't want to draw a small minority of women. They want to draw a parity of women. And that requires addressing what most women want. And of course that means in a way that doesn't step on the toes of anyone who is behaving with common decency. We just want a "no douchebags" policy. Not a "no fun" policy. Hence point number four: just because some people propose a bad policy idea (like making speakers sign "no sex" agreements) does not mean all policy suggestions are bad. They are all negotiable (excepting violations of the law, but that ought to go without saying; the role of sexual harassment policies is not to enforce laws already on the books, but to make meetings more comfortable and welcoming and fun, and thus they are more about moral and professional standards than legal ones).
Ironically, in his attempt to point out an "availability heuristic" error in people's reactions to the sexual harassment policy discussion, Thunderf00t fell victim to exactly the same bias when he cited his own experience as being normative–a classic mistake that any cognitive scientist would cringe at. Experiences have to be aggregated. We can't assume that our own personal experience accurately reflects the general reality, particularly when the "reality" we are concerned about is something that happens with a low (but nevertheless non-negligible) frequency, and rarely happens in the open public, and is often not visible to a third party even when it does (unless they actually know what to look for).
This importance of aggregating experience is demonstrated by the fact that my experience differs somewhat from Thunderf00t's. I have had a lot of experience with atheist conferences (and have only been witness there to a low rate of minor harassment), but I have a vastly more extensive experience with atheist meetups and community groups, having toured the U.S. (and beyond) speaking to scores of such groups over the last six years. Everywhere I went I asked why so few women were attending them, and whenever I had the opportunity I asked women I knew to be atheists in the area why they weren't showing up (or only rarely doing so), and consistently I received the same answer as their number one reason: they don't like the way the men treat them when they show up. Things have visibly improved on that score over the last five years, but usually, in my experience, it's a snowball effect: once more women start coming, they can gang up on the men, and the men start behaving themselves. Which makes the group more welcoming of more women. And so more come. And so on.
There was a real behavior problem. It was pervasive. It probably is still–as I cannot believe men the nation over have had a radical personality change in just five years (and the recent debate over the last two years has exposed a large quantity of rather shocking sexism in the woodwork of our community that even I had not thought was there). That they start acting decently only when they can't get away with it is not indicative of men being reformed. Rather, it's indicative of women acquiring a greater balance of social power. I must be clear, though: even in the worst cases, it was always a minority of men causing the problem; but the other men weren't standing up for the women, often because they were oblivious to the problem and sided with the jerks instead of the women. Which is the surest way to communicate to women that they aren't welcome.
And again, I have actually seen remarkable improvements on this in the last five years (in fact, most of all in the last two), as more men have become more aware of how a minority among them are making the women in their company uncomfortable, and doing something about it. Most particularly, by marginalizing the sexists, the same way we marginalize racists and fascists. And to that end this is not just about harassment policies, which can only target persistent or egregious misbehavior, but also whether we men will stand up for the women among us and defend them against misbehavior that doesn't rise to the level of policy action but nevertheless can ruin their enjoyment of an event if they feel alone in dealing with it.
And let me be clear again: the problem I've been witness to has not only been unwanted sexual advances or behavior (constantly hitting on them, staring at their tits, saying inappropriate things), but all kinds of stock sexism (interrupting women when they speak, distrusting what they say with uncharacteristic frequency, assuming a condescending position of superiority, showing blatant disinterest in any topic of conversation that isn't what "guys" are into, and so on), which is not something any policy can address, but is something we as individuals can address by our awareness of it and reaction to it. Indeed, the fact that more and more people are expressing the fact that they "get it" now, at the same time that more and more conferences are adopting anti-harassment policies, reflects an awakening. It's moving inexorably in the positive direction now, no matter what any naysayers may do to try and drag it all down.
If this has been the case in local atheist groups, I would not be surprised if the same dynamic governs attendance at conferences. But that means women have to know going in that they aren't going to be uncomfortable, a vulnerable minority in a sea of privilege. They have to know that someone there has got their back. That they aren't going to be dismissed as complainy whiners who just need to get over it. That they aren't always going to be assumed to have exaggerated because what they've reported can't possibly have happened because (warning: circular argument) it never does. They certainly need to know that the conference organizers share their values when it comes to the atmosphere that will be promoted, which requires a statement of what those values are, which is what a sexual harassment policy is.
And being against that is being very unreasonable indeed.
