Memo to Rick Santorum: PLEASE PLEASE, WIN THIS THING.
I know there's a line of thought that dreads Rick Santorum winning the GOP nomination on the grounds that, on the off chance we end up with a Republican president in 2012, it's better we have Romney than the Frothmeister. That is understandable cowardice, but cowardice nonetheless. I want Rick Santorum to win the nomination so bad, because then the religious right can finally have the fight they've been wanting to have for decades. And then they can lose that fight.
I mean, come on. Rick Santorum wants to have a fight about pornography! ACTUAL QUOTE TIME!
"The Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families. You have to look at the proof that's in the prosecution. You draw your conclusion." - Santorum, on CNN's State of the Union.
Right. The Obama Justice Department isn't prosecuting a lot of porn cases. Now, if Rick Santorum were talking about the super-extreme gonzo stuff, well, he still wouldn't be able to win that fight on technical grounds, but he might be able to sway some voters with the same kind of tactics they use to demonize the NEA. But that's not what RIck's talking about.
"There are laws against purveying hard-core pornography. And that — we have attorney generals in the country, at least under the Bush administration, who did prosecute that. And this administration isn't. And I simply said I would follow the law, which I know in the case of Barack Obama can be somewhat of a hefty challenge for him."
Now, I have to assume that, since RIck Santorum is running to be President Of These Motherfucking United States, that he is familiar with the common definition of "hardcore" pornography, and how it differs from "softcore" pornography, and that he actually believes that hardcore porn can be prosecuted under federal law. And I say, more power to him. Let's have the fight over looking at straight, vaginal, two-person fucking on the Internet. Because that's a fight Democrats can win without even having to stand up for a principle. It's the best kind of fight for them.
See, I don't pretend to understand the Republican mindset, the religious mindset, the moneyed interest mindset, or the Tea Party mindset, but I don't need to know that mindset to know that all those dudes jerk off. Or at least so many of them do that the ones that don't, due to religious convictions or advanced rheumatoid arthritis, are so statistically insignificant that I'm fine saying "all".
And when all of them jerk off, I guarantee that a solid eighty to eighty five percent of them do not masturbate to a mental image of having missionary position sex with their wives in the dark in the hopes of conceiving a child. They might hide it. They might never admit to it. But every single one of them knows how to clear their browsing history. Because at the end of the day, a lot of people like watching other people fuck.
What is it with Republicans and unwinnable wars? They invaded Afghanistan, they want to bomb Iran, and now they want to send people to jail for filming people fucking and putting it on the Internet? That will be their Watersportsloo.
Santorum is going so far as to say that porn is "damaging", by which he means actually psychologically harmful and not just a chafing issue. I mean, sure, there are valid complaints that porn is sterile, mechanical, infantilizing, and bland, but so is most of the programming on the Hallmark Channel, and I don't see people calling for those greeting card bastards to be prosecuted. I mean, I'm tempted to call for it, but I'm kind of a First Amendment purist.
And, of course, prosecuting porn in the age of the Internet is roughly the equivalent of prosecuting public urination in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An international, extralegal distribution system? Check. A library of existing content that, by now, covers 99.5% of all past and future potential permutations of human* coupling? Check. The genie's not out of the bottle - the genie's ancestors disintegrated the bottle, and despite attempts at maintaining an oral history**, all memories of the very idea of a bottle have been lost to the mists of time.
If watching people fuck is harmful, you know, like Big Macs are harmful, then we're just going to have to come up with the psychological equivalent to Lipitor, because 30+ years ago, when someone mailed someone else an ASCII tittie, the human race was destined to spend its waning years watching each other bone. And if Rick Santorum stands in the way of that destiny, he'll end up both a failure, and really sticky.
**Also, I'm sure, an existing type of porn.

the last two decades, as well as serving as a high-level strategist for nationwide political campaigns on three continents. Mr. Leslie specializes in helping prominent corporations and public institutions to transform public attitudes
rapidly on divisive, high-profile issues. Leslie's dual background as a seasoned communications professional and political operative offers a unique perspective that enables him to integrate advertising, media relations, direct marketing
and political strategy. Political and business leaders have sought his counsel during several crises. Mr. Leslie has served as a communications crisis advisor to the NY-NJ Port Authority in the immediate aftermath of the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing and to American Airlines following the attacks of September 11th; to the Government of Colombia on illegal narcotics; to the State of Florida on the shootings of foreign tourists; and many other foreign and domestic crises.

Bronfman, one of the most wealthy and influential Jewish families in Canada. Edgar Jr. is the second of five children, and was indicated by his grandfather in 1971 as being suitable as the heir to the Seagram Company. From his early days,
Bronfman's interest in the arts was apparent. He was particularly active in school theatre, an interest his parents supported by donating to construct The Ann and Edgar Bronfman Theatre during a 1967 expansion at The Collegiate School, the
prestigious private school in Manhattan which Edgar Jr. attended. Edgar Jr. and his classmates created a documentary film of the school that spawned the Collegiate Film Festival, an event that gained positive press in The Los Angeles Times
and The Village Voice. Bronfman proceeded to a brief career in entertainment in the 1970s as a film and Broadway producer. The summer before his final year of high school, in 1972, he was a credited producer on the film, The Blockhouse.
Despite his inexperience, Bronfman's involvement was accepted because of his connections and access to financing. In return, he learned many of the tricks of the trade by watching his more experienced peers. In 1973, Bronfman began a
songwriting career under the pseudonyms Junior Miles and Sam Roman. He often collaborated with Bruce Roberts on songs like "Whisper in the Dark", which he gave to Dionne Warwick to record in thanks for introducing him to his first wife,
Sherry. His Efer Productions company was signed by Universal Studios in 1977 to a three-year movie production contract. He produced the unsuccessful film The Border, which starred Jack Nicholson. In 1982, Bronfman returned to the Seagram
Company, spending three months learnin

Tell NBC Sports what you think of their airing an episode of the NRA-sponsored "Under Wild Skies" in which brave hunter - and "PR strategist" - Tony Makris (also an NRA lobbyist) hires a guide in Botswana to kill an elephant - for its ivory.
Makris proceeds to shoot the animal in the face numerous times, then chuckle while it issues its dying groans. He expresses pride in bringing the coveted ivory back to camp.
NBC Sports, this has nothing to do with "sport" of any kind. Cancel this show and end all association with the coward Tony Makris. Make a contribution to an organization that works for conservation of African wildlife.
You are as complicit as Makris in the capricious death of this elephant.

Today our journey took place at a local clothing store. Where the sexy Landon and kelly were in charge, and all they wanted was cash. Jmac and Voodoo made sure the money was spent correctly and had them naked instantly. They showed off their sexy bodies and locked the store front door so the fun could begin. They switched around fucking them in every position you could think of. Watching Landons huge ass bounce on the counter was the highlight of my day. Enjoy....

When a man shaves his pubic region while saving the pubic hair, then proceeding to ejaculate on a females face, he then slaps her in the face with the pubic hair causing the hair to stick to the ejaculate on her face. The man will then proceed to slap her in the face with his erect penis.

The Centre de recherches mathématiques and the Fields Institute
are pleased to announce the winner of the CRM-Fields prize for
2001: Professor William T. Tutte from the University of Waterloo.
William T. Tutte is one of the leading experts in graph theory
and matroid theory worldwide. He is responsible for some of the
most fundamental results in both of these fields; to mention just
a couple, in graph theory, he established the fundamental theorems
of matching theory, an important branch of combinatorial optimization,
and in matroid theory, he characterized regular matroids in terms
of excluded minors, one of the deepest results in the field.
Professor Tutte received his education at Cambridge University,
graduating with his Ph.D. in 1948. He joined the faculty of the
University of Toronto in 1948 and moved to the University of Waterloo
in 1962. He was for a long time the editor of the Journal of Combinatorial
Theory and is the Honorary Director of the Centre for Applied
Cryptographic Research. He is a Fellow of the Royal Societies
of London and Canada. The CRM-Fields prize recognizes exceptional
achievement in mathematical research conducted primarily in Canada
or in affiliation with a Canadian university.
As a CRM-Fields prize winner, Professor Tutte will present a
lecture at both Institutes in Fall 2001.

Q & A: Doctors Choose Pills for Heart Disease
Unless you have a broken arm or an exploding appendix, a doctor likely is to jam a bunch of pills down your throat, especially if you have heart trouble, despite the evidence showing a healthy diet reverses heart disease. From Dr. Fuhrman's member center, here's a quick discussion about doctors' pill obsession:
Question: My doctors want me to start on cholesterol meds. When I told my primary doctor that I did not want to try the drugs and wanted to try something else, she said cholesterol meds do more than lower cholesterol and that you can reduce cholesterol with diet but not the inflammation in the arteries.
Will lowering my cholesterol with diet not take care of the inflammation? All my heart test, stress, Doppler, leg test came by normal. Do you have any advice? The heart doctor wants me to have a gastric by-pass and my primary doctor wants me to have the lap-band. I don't want either one!
Dr. Fuhrman: Doctors see drugs and surgery as the only answer, but the truth is that nutritional excellence is more effective at reducing inflammation than drugs and it is more protective against heart disease than drugs, is more effective than gastric bypass and lap band—both have no long-term studies that show that those undergoing those procedures have normal lifespan.
Doctors grant all their interventions with beneficial qualities no matter how poorly studied, then hold to natural methods and nutritional interventions as not having enough proof. Dermatologists claim acne has nothing to do with food, studies show this is false. Cardiologists claim heart disease is predominantly genetic, also false—and so on and so on.

On May 10, 1941 Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess parachuted into a field near the village of Eaglesham- Scotland. Was he after a diplomatic victory when he took off from Augsburg in his Messerschmidt or had he completely gone mad?
It is said that Hess didn't like Germany being at war with the United Kingdom so he flew there in order to negotiate a peace between Germany and Great Britain.
When the war was over Hess was tried in Nuremberg and was sentenced to life in prison despite being mentally ill.
The British treated Hess very strangely. There was almost no evidence to connect him with Nazi war-crimes. In fact he was in prison in England during the Holocaust in Europe. While several high rank Nazis were treated generously, the British insisted Hess be kept in prison until he died.
According to Gordon Thomas (Journey into Madness), Allen W. Dulles, had a meeting with Dr. Donald Cameron, the American psychiatrist, before he examined Hess: "Dulles first swore Dr Cameron to secrecy, and then told him an astounding story. He had reason to believe that the man Dr Cameron was to examine was not Rudolf Hess but an impostor; that the real Deputy Führer had been secretly executed on Churchill's orders. Dulles had explained that Dr Cameron could prove the point by a simple physical examination of the man's torso. If he was the genuine Hess, there should be scar tissue over his left lung, a legacy from the day the young Hess had been wounded in the First World War."
The theory that the man in Spandau was not Hess but a doppelganger is yet to be proven. However, there is an interesting angle to this mystery, that is; a British doctor who examined Hess in 1973, claimed that he saw no evidence of chest scars on Hess's body.
"Herr Speer, I have my memory back!"
Hess's major trouble was amnesia. He did not remember the existence of his son or his Nazi comrades whom he sat with during the Nuremberg trials. Once he asked Göring: "Who are you?"
All the prisoners who were sentenced to death were executed except Herman Göring. He beat the hangman by taking a cyanide capsule in his cell. The question of who provided the capsule to Göring is still unanswered. There were rumours that Göring had become friends with an American guard who was impressed by the Nazi leader and that this prison guard gave him the capsule. It is equally strange that a man as conceited as Göring died in his cell before he could make a final statement to the court.
Shortly before his suicide, Göring said something very intriguing about Hess. During the recess of the trial he said to Hess: "By the way, Hess, when are you going to let us in on your great secret?"
By "secret" Göring might have implied that Hess was actually an impostor or maybe he meant something completely different. Regardless, it is beyond any doubt that the history of Nazi Germany is full of secrets.

India to Hold 3G Auctions Soon
India is the world's second-largest mobile phone market with 287 million phone users (and one of the fastest-growing), and none of them are using 3G technology. But that may all change soon as India's government has announced plans to begin auctioning off 3G licenses.
Up to this point there has been little demand for high-end multimedia services because 90% of the phones in the country are used as pre-paid.
The auction, set to begin within the next few months, will require a minimum price of 20 billion rupees ($472 million US) to compete. According to Financial Times, aggressive bidding is expected from several leading firms and telecom companies in competing for key cities.
Questions still remain about how profitable this may be for telecom but it's now or never. Mobile providers realize the need to take a risk in order to continue forward, even if it means pushing through a few years with low demand.

From a distance, thanks to the big red letters against the white poster in the front window of the building, the words are easy to see: "THIS STORE WILL BE CLOSING ON." Only when getting much closer to the window would you be able to see the hand-scrawled customization of that generic announcement: "Sat., 12-28-13 @ Noon."
Yesterday, this is what greeted anyone who paid a visit to the former Dominick's store at 7501 W. North Ave. in River Forest.
Work is under way to bring in a new tenant--with Fresh Thyme poised to come to the space in the near future--but in the meantime, there's the matter of this lingering sour news.
The closure hang-over holds a pair of public relations-and-marketing lessons:
1. Look forward, not back, especially when looking back is a downer.
Maintaining notice of the store's closure for a few days, maybe even a few weeks, is understandable. With the demise of more than 70 Dominick's stores in the Chicago area last year, it made good business sense to let the public know when any given site was wrapping things up.
But after that brief window of time, it's time to adorn the window in a more upbeat, forward-looking way. How about a "future home of" type of message, even if you don't quite know whose home that will be yet? You could keep the end of the phrase open-ended, perhaps with a reference to a future "thriving business" or some similar phrasing.
As so forcefully stated by organizational leaders like Amway Triple Diamond Greg Duncan of the World Wide Group (WWDB) organization, a basic ingredient in attracting others to you is to have them feel genuinely better about themselves after having been around you. And one way to do that, whether individually or organizationally, is to be vigilant in tamping down any needless negativity that could taint your future prospects.
At minimum, then, for the former Dominick's site, it is well past time to expunge that future-tense reference to "will be closing" on Day 173, post-closing.
2. If you choose to look back, then find something positive about the past.
Because Dominick's was no longer around, then the onus for the River Forest site has been on the building owner, Mid-America Real Estate Group, to provide a new look that lightens and brightens the image being projected to the world. With thousands of vehicles bustling daily along busy North Avenue, with a clear view of the shuttered store, that space is a de facto billboard for whatever message Mid-America wants to convey.
Some time in mid-January, a thank-you message to customers for their years of loyalty would have been an improvement over the stagnancy of the sign that offered a heads-up to those final Dominick's shoppers.
Taking no action on the PR front makes as much of a statement as anything you may proactively proclaim. Problem is, it's more than likely not a statement that helps your cause or reflects well on your organization.

Tania Minkins
March 12, 2013
GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina track and field program closed the book on the 2013 indoor season over the weekend after competing in the NCAA Indoor Championships.
The Pirates wrapped up a successful season which saw senior Tynita Butts finish second in the NCAA Championships after she matched her career-best and ECU school-record mark of 1.90m (6-02.75) for her fifth all-time All-America selection.
Montrell Morrow made his second appearance in as many years at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the men's weight throw as he fouled out on the final day of competition.
Prior to the NCAA Indoor Championships, the Pirates had four individual champions at the C-USA Indoor Championships as Joseph Samuels, Kayla Padgett, Butts and Morrow all came home with first-place finishes.
Samuels won the men's 60-meter hurdles finals with a time of 7.91. Previously he had placed first in the preliminaries of the same event with a qualifying time of 7.84. For the second year in a row, Morrow won the men's weight throw. This season, his mark of 19.95m (65-05.50) was good enough for tops in the conference.
Butts won her fourth high jump event of the indoor season as she leapt 1.83m (6-00.00), which was four inches better than the second place finisher. Padgett won the women's weight throw with an ECU school record mark of 20.03m (65-08.75) to lead the Lady Pirates. She shattered her previous personal record by 1.72m (5-07.00) and bested the former ECU school record mark of 18.80m (61-08.00) which was set in 1999 by Michelle Clayton.
In addition to the numerous victories the Pirates brought home, the ECU track and field squad also set five school records on two separate occasions to rewrite the record book 10 times.
On the men's side, Drew Kanz tied the high jump school record with a mark of 2.16m (7-01.00), while Aaron Zakula set a new standard in the pole vault with a mark of 4.97m (16-03.50), and Dylan Spadaccini tallied a school-record 4,734 points in the heptathlon.
Seven women's school records were broken as Tania Minkins ran the 60-meter dash in a school record 7.39, while Erin Tucker recorded a new school standard time of 8.34 in the 60-meter hurdles. Tyshonda Hawkins registered a career-best and ECU record time of 23.62 in the 200-meter dash and Tiffany Harris finished the 300-meter dash in 38.18 for another East Carolina record. Olivia Slate set a new record in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:54.09, while Butts tallied a mark of 1.90m (6-02.75) on two separate occasions in the high jump, and Padgett notched a career-best and school-record mark of 20.05m (65-08.75) in the women's weight throw.
"We feel as a coaching staff that we had a very successful indoor season on both sides of the program," Head Coach Curt Kraft said. "I know there are a lot of ways to define success in our sport, but any time you set school records, have individual conference champions, national qualifiers and All-America selections, I would call that a very good indoor season.
"We now have to take all of this momentum into the outdoor season and continue to build on all of the energy that we have created as a team," Kraft continued. "One thing is for sure, we are not where we want to be as a team, so we have to stay focused and work hard each and every day."
The Pirates will look ahead to the outdoor season which begins Thursday, March 14, as ECU competes at the Charlotte Invitational which will conclude on Saturday, March 16.

|Vandals ready for spring finale
MOSCOW, Idaho – Spring football practice is coming to a close at the University of Idaho and coach Paul Petrino knows exactly what he wants to see when the Vandals take the field for the annual finale at 6 p.m. Friday at the Kibbie Dome. The game is live on Spokane's SWX (6.2).
"I want them to do things right – play hard, tough. Play with great effort," he said. "I want them to take care of the football; not have any stupid penalties. I want a lot of whacks – hopefully there's a lot of hitting going on out there."
That typifies spring 2013 for the Vandals, who have been developing the mental fortitude and physical resilience Petrino wanted to see.
"We've improved each day," he said. "That was our ultimate goal. We wanted to come out and give great effort every single day and improve every day. It's kind of a survival of the fittest."
He's seen improvement across the board from the veterans and inspiring progress from some of the newcomers – particularly linebackers Marc Millan, Juan Martinez and Eric Tuipulotu, and running backs Kris Olugbode and Jerrel Brown.
There still isn't an answer for the ritual, 'Who is the starting quarterback?' question. At times, Petrino said, senior Taylor Davis appeared to have a better grasp of the complexities of his offense, while at other times it was redshirt freshman Chad Chalich who seemed in the know. Add transfer Josh McCain and freshman Matt Linehan this summer and the question expands.
"We'll just keep battling and keep fighting and find out who's going to get us in the end zone the most," Petrino said.
He's pleased that, while it may not seem so to the outside observer, neither side of the ball has been dominant over the course of spring drills.
"When you watch it on tape," he said, "it's more even. That's what you want. You don't want it lopsided. Then you have to be awful scared about that other side of the ball.
"I'm not more happy with one side than the other. They both have improved. They both need to continue to improve – a lot."

Bowling News USA - June 25, 2012 Kulick Leads at Women's U.S Open...Hulsenberg Moves To 12th..
Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., continued her dominance at the 2012 Bowling's U.S. Women's Open as she retained the top spot after the third round of qualifying Sunday.
The two-time U.S. Women's Open champion averaged 245 during her six-game block to finish with an 18-game total of 4,294 (238.5 average). Team USA's Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie, Texas, is second with 4,224.
Kulick is feeling at home at the National Bowling Stadium as the field of 202 narrowed to the top 50 competitors for Monday's fourth round. An additional six games will be bowled before the top 16 advance to round-robin match play Monday night.
"Right now my A game is always in play," said Kulick, who rolled her highest six-game block of the event Sunday with 1,470. "I can play straight when I need to, but as soon as I can get left and throw the ball a little right the lanes open up to me and I feel very comfortable."
After being in the same position at the 2011 U.S. Women's Open in Euless, Texas, Kulick knows all she can do now is to try and keep herself in contention throughout match play to make the stepladder finals that will be held on four specially-constructed lanes underneath the famed Reno Arch.
"I had a big lead last year, but it didn't do me any good in the finals," Kulick said. "I'm going to bowl each day, one game at a time and keep myself in contention to make the show. My goal is really just to bowl consistently until I get to that position and try to really come into my own out there."

Enchanted Forest Party (cont) (18 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I've been in love with
the pink and gold color scheme for a while and knew I wanted to use
this scheme for my daughter's second birthday party. All of my ideas
came together when I took her out for a photoshoot one evening. Seeing
the photos of her running carefree through a wooded field in her
sparkly party dress and princess crown, the idea for an enchanted
forest party was born! I used plenty of gold glitter to make the party
feel magical, along with a touch of pink and lots of wood accents to
create the feeling of being in an enchanted forest. My favorite aspect
of this party was how the wood elements balanced out the pink and gold
elements. We created cake stands from wood slices and small tree
trunks, and strung gold stars from a hanging branch as a centerpiece
for the dessert table. I also loved the little wood place card
holders, which we used to hold labels for all of the food items.
We decided to make the party a brunch, and the star of the show was
definitely the three-tiered pancake cake! Guests were wowed by this
cake, and with a thin layer of buttercream and raspberry filling in
between each pancake, it was just as delicious as it was beautiful!
My daughter loves reading, so in lieu of gifts, we asked each guest to
bring Kate a book to help stock her library. In the invitation, I
included a bookplate featuring an illustration of "Princess Kate" that
guests could fill out with a special message and stick inside the
book. For a fun "guestbook" idea, I ordered a wooden castle set and
asked guests to each sign a block, so we could remember their presence
while playing with the blocks for years to come!
For party favors, we sent all of our little guests home with a sparkly
gold wand, prince or princess crown, and a jar of "enchanted stardust"
(sparkly pink and gold playdoh).

"Top Ten in Ten" is a 10-part blog series on the top 10 players, by importance, for LSU's 2014 season. We'll have a player each weekday, counting down to the No. 1 player on Aug. 4, when LSU begins fall camp.
- No. 4: Brandon Harris
- Year, position: Freshman, quarterback
- Height, weight: 6-2, 184
Looking back
A four-star recruit who was ranked as the No. 3 dual-threat QB in the nation, Harris became more than just a challenger for the starting job after he out-dueled Anthony Jennings in the spring game. Harris, by some, is seen as the favorite to claim the gig. He enrolled early in January and began digesting the LSU playbook. He displayed an impressive deep ball and nifty escape moves from a collapsing pocket.
Looking forward
The chances of Harris playing quarterback for LSU this fall are very high. The speedy guy from Shreveport was included in a list of four true freshmen coach Les Miles said is expected to have a "great impact" on LSU's 2014 season. He'll battle with Jennings during fall camp for the starting gig. Already, Harris has a rapport with incoming freshmen running back Leonard Fournette and receiver Malachi Dupre.
Number To Know
4,220 – Total offensive yards amassed during Harris' senior year

I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

Published: Friday, November 30, 2012 at 9:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 30, 2012 at 9:57 a.m.
ASHEVILLE — The perfect courses for plenty of college students, crafting beer.
Asheville-Buncombe Community College plans to offer a series of classes to support the area's beverage industry.
The Asheville Citizen Times reported the school is seeking state approval to create the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast.
The program would prepare students for the area's winery, brewery and distillery industries.
School president Hank Dunn says the mission of the community college is to find a local need and meet it.
The school plans to start the program with two dozen students next fall. The school already offers a certificate on the beer business. A course called Beeronomics" has the longest waiting list of any continuing education class.
The Asheville area will have 10 microbreweries in operation next month.

Sirkut Electronics Ring Modulator
Submitted on February 10, 2005
- Frequency
- changes the ring modulation frequency
- Frequency Range
- switches between a low and a high frequency range
- DistortioN/Boost
- to distort/boost the output signal
Basically a cut throat ring modulator that kills all tone in it's path.
Let it be known that this device KILLS and OSCILLATES like a crazy madman would if he could oscillate. It's loud, it's obnoxious, its for noise! Tone frenzy guitar players *cough* Eric Johnson for example *cough* should not apply. Now that the warning is over, for those who are still interested in something noisy, you are in luck. This little puppy can act as a really nasty ring modulator or if you just plug in a cable, you can control it (via frequency knob) as a tone generator.

Right before the
cutoff date at the end of 2010, three young Israeli engineers — Yariv Bash,
Kfir Damari and Yonatan Winetraub — decided to join the other 33 groups that
had already signed up.
Their vision was not only technological; it involved a sense
of national pride, as well. They felt that Israelis, famous for innovation and
ingenuity, could not pass up the opportunity to take part in such an endeavor.
Hence, SpaceIL ("IL" for Israel) was chosen as the
name not only for this specific project, but for the nonprofit organization
they established for a broader educational goal of encouraging young Israelis
to take an interest in science and technology.
Israel's aerospace industry
has a distinct advantage because of its innovation in micro- and
nano-satellites. SpaceIL is now applying this technology to build the
"smallest, smartest spacecraft ever to have landed on the moon."

Kony 2012 Video for Dummies
If you are on Facebook, your friends have encouraged you to watch the Kony 2012 video. Many people are watching, blindly getting swept up and then donating to the cause.
Yes, we should all know who guys like Kony are and why they are evil. But, we should not blindly follow causes and think a 30-minute primer can replace good, ol' fashioned research. In America, we have a travesty named Toddlers and Tiaras. It is a horrible show where we see some 'first world problems'.
But even worse than that is the situation in Uganda. 100s of the thousands have been displaced from their homes. Others, murdered in cold blood. Women and children are being raped and sold into sex trafficking markets. Young boys are being given guns, forced to fight and suffer psychological manipulation.
These things have been going on for quite some time in Uganda and may other nations. And while America bombs the living lights out of a random dictator we've placed in an oil rich country, we've had a habit of turning a blind eye to these troubled former colonies of arrogant European nations.
The monsters of exploitation must be stopped, but the type of intervention we truly need is multinational. NGOs are great and can faciliate good things. But until we get Washington, DC, fully invested in leading the internatinoal community to hunt any genocidal dog like a pack hyena in a hen house, we will be tilting at windmills.
I'm not sure if Invisible Children is legit or not. You will hear plenty each way. The man who filmed Kony 2012 seems concerned enough, but about as knowledgable about the regional history and problems with Uganda and other African nation as much as any of us other mildly informed people. Is that really where we need to be mass piling funds?
We need more organization. And the government is supposed to be our source of organized effort to mandate policy and change. We must mandate and enforce a strict no-tolerance rule of these issues. Kony and any person who behaves in such a way should become not a criminal, but an enemy of humanity and hunted down, dragged into court and tried according to their acts. If we can destroy the Iraqi army in a month, force Saddam to hide in a hole and destabalize an entire country to make Halliburton a few bucks, we can surely hunt down a few non-dictators with machine guns. But it must be an international effort, not just an American one.
Anyway, Kony 2012 for Dummies. Thanks to Joey I. for sending the lead image to the HolyMailbox.

Marcos Maidana told Fight News on Monday that he will defeat Floyd Mayweather "for Argentina."
Maidana (35-3, 31 KOs) is slated to meet the 37-year-old Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs) Saturday night at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
A powerful and beloved Argentinean, Maidana clearly bettered Adrien Broner in December to capture the WBA welterweight title.
According to the Associated Press, Maidana officially trumped the 24-year-old Broner (27-1, 22 KOs) by counts of 115-110, 116-109 and 117-109.
"El Chino" outworked Broner and floored the loudmouth in the second and eighth rounds.
Maidana, who is also a former junior welterweight titleholder, was far more active than Broner and landed crippling blows throughout the 36-minute fistfight.
"It was a tough fight against a difficult opponent who was younger and has his whole future ahead of him," said Maidana, 30, who was selected as an opponent over Amir Khan. "I dropped him with a rare punch in round two. I didn't practice it – I just saw an opportunity and took it."
Comparatively, in a truly brilliant outing, Mayweather earned a majority decision over Mexican powerhouse Saul Alvarez on September 14 to gain the WBC light middleweight belt.
Although the 23-year-old Alvarez (43-1-1, 30 KOs) didn't perform poorly and consistently forced the action, Mayweather landed flush shots that rattled and slowed the youngster.
"A few years ago I would have never imagined that I'd land the biggest fight in the sport," said Maidana.
"I'm very happy. I'm enjoying the moment. This is the most important fight of my career. I understand the obligations that come with it, but I'm training as hard as I can while doing what is necessary for the promotion. All of the exposure motivates me to win for Argentina."
Facing a defensive virtuoso and one of the premier pugilists in history, Maidana has absolutely "(landed) the biggest fight in the sport."
Unfortunately for Argentina and "El Chino," Floyd Mayweather will easily outscore Marcos Maidana and ruin the challenger's career "moment" this weekend in Sin City.

Crave announced a new bowling title for Wii earlier today. It's called Brunswick Pro Bowling and is likely to be released this year.
The game promises to be a much more in-depth bowling experience than that offered in Wii Sports. Players can customize their bowler and bowling ball extensively and there are 10 bowling venues modeled on actual Brunswick locations.
Career mode sees you progressing through the ranks from amateur up to professional in a number of tournaments. Multiplayer is supported as well, with up to 4 players able to play in a game. Just watch out for the dreaded 7-10 split.

Wii Sports is still fun. Any sports game should be more in depth than Wii Sports. I don't get why Crave has to promise to be more in depth than Wii sports.
lews001 said:
Because honestly, Wii bowling wasn't that in depth. There are many more things that are done in professional bowling, such as how much of the lane is oiled, whether or not you have a weighted curve ball (if you look online some of these bowling balls are outrageous the pros use, with spinning gyros in the center and whatnot, just crazy). Honestly, I think Wii bowling was catered to work for everyone, specifically by knocking down pins it shouldn't, if you watch some of the angles, things happen that just aren't right, at least from my experience of watching bowling since I was a kid.

This will sell very well. Everybody loved Wii sports. This is an updated Wii sports game.

You can customize your bowler too. I think it be cooler if we use our Mii's.

I like Wii sports though.
Wiipaw said:
Hey Crimson Hawk, it would be even better if it also had tennis, baseball, golf, and... oh, boxing! And it like could use your Miis for them too! But I really doubt anyone would make a game like that. I mean, not even Nintendo would be that crazy.

New Type
New type. Twenty odd years ago I bought 10 cases of Monotype Gill Sans 262 from a printer in Sunderland. The seller told me that the printshop used to belong to his father, who, on retirement, had promised one of his employees 'Bob' a job in the composing room for as long as he wanted. Well, time moved on, and so did the printing trade; letterpress died a premature death but this company loyally kept it's promise and 'Bob' was paid to keep the redundant composing room in tip-top condition for several years until his retirement - the day I bought the type.
Well Bob, the type was really worn when I bought it but you'll be pleased to hear some of it's going to be melted down and recast as brand new shiny Monotype Gill Sans 262 by those splendid fellows at Hand and Eye in 30, 36 and 48pt. Letterpress - the original sustainable industry.

What are ceramic knives made of?
Ceramic knives are made of an advanced ceramic called zirconia. This material, which is second in hardness only to diamond, was originally developed for industrial applications. Zirconium oxide is extremely hard and wear resistant. It has a hardness of 8.2 mohs vs steel at 5-6 mohs and diamond at 10 mohs.
The blade goes through a high-pressure molding process before being heated over several days of temperatures in excess of 1000c. Finally, we grind on a diamond wheel and polish the ceramic blade to form an edge and the final shape.
Why using ceramic knives ?
Ceramic knives have several advantages over traditional steel knives:
- They retain their original sharpness more than 10 times longer than steel knives
- Non-porous surface that will prevent the transfer of odors and flavors
- Ceramic will never rust
- Ceramic knives are very lightweight which will reduce the amount of physical effort and fatigue during cutting tasks.
- Easy to clean: simply rinse under warm water
What is the difference between a black blade and a white blade?
The zirconium oxide blade undergoes an additional firing process, turning it black. This makes the black ceramic blade harder than the white ceramic blade – and thus more expensive. However, both ceramic blade types are very hard and resistant so choosing the black blade over the white should be more a question of taste and design than extra durability.
Can I put my ceramic knife in the dishwasher?
Although they are technically dishwasher safe, we do not recommend washing ceramic knives in the dishwasher for several reasons. First, it's dangerous if someone forgets about the knife or reaches in the wrong way. Second, objects have a tendency to rattle and shift during the dishwashing cycle and this puts your ceramic knife at risk of damage. Finally, ceramic knives are very easy to clean since food does not stick to the surface, so simply rinse with warm water or mild bleach solution.
What can't I cut with my ceramic knife?
Ceramic knives are for slicing purposes only and should not be used for any other purpose. NEVER force the cut, NEVER cut bones or frozen food and NEVER strike a hard surface with the ceramic blade as it can cause it to chip or the tip to snap off.
Where should I store my CeraKook knife?
We recommend that your CeraKook knives be stored in their original sheath (included) or in a knife block. Chipping may occur upon contact with other utensils as well as risks of accidental injuries.
Do ceramic knives need to be sharpened?
Ceramic knives retain their sharp edge much longer than a steel blade and should not need to be sharpened like traditional steel knives. With proper care, you may able to go years before you need to re-sharpen your ceramic knife. However, if the ceramic knife is under-performing, it can be sharpened with a diamond sharpener but we would recommend bringing the knife to a professional ceramic sharpening service instead.
Will my ceramic knife break if dropped?
Any knife is at risk of damage if dropped on hard surfaces. Like a steel knife, you can break the tip if the knife lands on it. Depending on the scale of the damage, the tip may be partially repaired. We recommend seeking a professional for any repairs or sharpening work.

17 die as armed clashes continue in Mindanao
Military says it has breakaway rebel group trapped
MILF forces on patrol in coordination with government troops to prevent clashes in Maguindanao from spreading (Photo by Keith Bacongco)
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
January 28, 2014
At least 17 Islamists were killed and several others wounded as fighting between government troops and a breakaway rebel group entered a second day on Tuesday.
The fighting began on Monday when the military attempted to arrest members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) on murder and kidnapping charges.
The BIFF is a breakaway faction of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which is in the final stage of negotiating peace with the government.
"We are running after them so our troops engaged them again [Tuesday morning]," army spokesman Colonel Dickson Hermoso, said.
"We are launching a law enforcement operation against BIFF members who are on the run," he said, adding that Tuesday's clashes were centered near the village of Bakat, in Maguindanao province's Shariff Saidona Mustapha.
Hermoso emphasized that the fighting has no bearing on a peace deal signed with the MILF at the weekend that could see a semi-autonomous Mindanao.
Maj Gen Romeo Gapuz, commander of the army's 6th Infantry Division, said the fighting is "strictly a law enforcement operation cleared by the MILF".
He downplayed the possibility of the fighting spreading, saying they have the rebels trapped.
Another military spokesman, Lt Col Ramon Zagala, said the army launched the "law enforcement operation" to put a stop to BIFF atrocities.
"We cannot allow them to do these things," said Zagala, adding that BIFF fighters "threaten the safety and security of the people in the community."
