Nob Hill Nature Park is an oak woodland habitat near Olde Towne St Helens. Filled with native white oak trees, as well as shrubs and wildflowers, it makes a good place for birdwatching and flower study. Some of the things you might see there in spring include camas, trillium and fawn lilies. Perched on a basalt bluff, it looks out on the Columbia River, where Multnomah Channel joins the main channel. The park is small, only about 5 acres. It has a network of trails, so it makes a fun destination for local walks. (There is some poison oak, so please stay on trails.)
We are gradually improving Nob Hill Nature Park, with a little help from our friends. The Friends of Nob Hill Nature Park, in conjunction with Scappoose Bay Watershed Council, continue to work on removal of invasive plants, including English ivy, holly and blackberries. We hold volunteer work parties twice yearly. The Portland Chapter of the Oregon Native Plant created a Nob Hill Nature Park Plant List (October 2015) identifying the plant species present throughout the park.
The park is open year-round, daily from dawn to dusk. The main trailhead is located across from the City's Waste Water Treatment Plant, 451 Plymouth Street, St Helens. We look forward to seeing you in the woods.

I didn't know this method of declaring character encoding! Is this just a Ruby thing, or can I use it (for example) in Bash scripts as well?

I got moved here after initially booking with Shaftesbury Premier Paddington who said that they had 'maintenance issues' so couldn't accommodate me.
It is a very impressive entrance from the exterior and in the lobby/reception area it is spectacular. I'm sure that many overseas visitors will be delighted with this area as it simply exudes old world English charm. However, from here, things can go downhill.
In common with a number of reviews on Tripadvisor, whilst I was checking in, an irate couple were complaining about their alleged 'double room' that was merely the size of single with a double bed placed in it and they couldn't even walk around the bed. They were booked in for a fortnight apparently.
Anyway, only one night for a business trip for me. I was given the key to room 007 in the basement and as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs, the smell of dampness was very strong. Entered my room and it was a story of contrasts. A very nice and clearly recently modernised bathroom and a tastefully decorated and laid out bedroom, but other things let it down such as architrave that hadn't been cleaned properly and my delightful view of London from my one window that were bags of rubbish and used linen.
The stacks of bags outside my window were cleared away the next morning......and I certainly knew about it as the activity was taking place right outside my window (i.e. about 6 foot from where I was sleeping) between 6.30 and 7.00 in the morning. The activity then didn't stop as there was an external door to the right of my window that clearly led to something or other that staff were often walking in and out of.
One of the more unusual features of this room was the safe. It was housed in the top of the wardrobe, but it was lightweight and not secured down in any way, so I could simply lift it out of the wardrobe and carry it anywhere.
Breakfast was fantastic though. A great selection, well stocked, good quality and all served in a lovely dining room.
I really don't know what to make of this place. The public areas are very impressive, my room was a bit of mixed bag and some other people are downright unhappy with their rooms. I just wanted a bed for the night on a business trip so the negatives were no big deal to me, however I would have taken a different view if I was visiting for leisure and especially if I had to have that room for a few days or longer.
Would I return? Very unlikely. Some very important aspects of the bedrooms really let down what could otherwise be quite a special and quaintly English experience for visitors.

You may be familiar with that twisting, turning, sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when your partner is again falling into "silent treatment" mode. You may not know what you did that is causing her to ignore you and start the silent treatment... Or perhaps you thought you just had a minor disagreement.
Sometimes she will tell you what you did that was "wrong", wrong enough to provoke days of silence, and it may be something minor: You talked about something menial to her important friend at a party. You played with your salad. You put too much Parmesan cheese on the pasta. Or he got a good look at your thighs and you are developing cellulite.
Is it an intentional punishment? Maybe, maybe not. The partner may really be "splitting" you, common in those with borderline personality disorder. He/she actually doesn't regard you. You don't exist to him or her.
If you've experienced this kind of treatment, if you don't know how to handle it, join the discussions at BPDfamily.com. There's an ongoing Workshop on the Silent Treatment in which you can participate right now.
You aren't alone with this form of abuse. Others have experienced it also. And they may be able to help you deal with it.

Current dual-frequency GPS measurements can only eliminate the first-order ionospheric term and may cause a higher-order range bias of several centimeters. This research investigates the second-order ionospheric effect for GNSS users in Europe. In comparison to previous studies, the electron density profiles of the ionosphere/plasmasphere are modeled as the sum of three Chapman layers describing electron densities of the ionospheric F2, F1 and E layers and a superposed exponential decay function describing the plasmasphere. The International Geomagnetic Reference Field model is used to calculate the geomagnetic field vectors at numerous points along the incoming ray paths. Based on extended simulation studies, we derive a correction formula to compute the average value of the longitudinal component of the earth's magnetic field along the line-of-sight as a function of geographic latitude and longitude, and geometrical parameters such as elevation and azimuth angles. Using our correction formula in conjunction with the total electron content (TEC) along the line-of-sight, the second-order ionospheric term can be corrected to the millimeter level for a vertical TEC level of 1018 electrons/m2.

With a slew of seniors and a number of experienced underclassmen back for this season, the 2014 campaign could be a special one for Nelson County.
"We've got a good chance to win district," Tyler Tipton said, "if players step up."
Tipton is part of a strong 10-man senior bunch who last year helped the Cardinals overcome a midseason rough patch when the team was wracked by injuries. They rallied from a four-match skid to go 6-1-1 down the stretch before falling to John Hardin in the region semifinals, and that strong finish is why there's a lot of optimism in the Nelson camp this year.
"It's always good to have your experience returning," longtime coach Lee Brothers said. "Young guys got lots of minutes because of injuries."
Up front, Brothers can go to guys like senior Quinton Lyvers and junior Joey Muncy for goals.
"That's definitely our strong point," said Lyvers, a senior. "We have basically all our offense back."
Passing, finishing and possessing the ball will be key, and Brothers feels those similarities to last year's squad will carry over, resulting in more scoring opportunities.
A lot of those opportunities are created by strong midfield play, where Tipton and fellow senior Nico Godenzi make things happen. Sophomore Colton Weir, who dealt with nagging injuries much of the year, figures to also play a key role, as does classmate Aaron Cook, who started most of last year as a freshman.
Defense is where things may get tricky for Brothers' bunch. Four of the five seniors who graduated were defenders, including strong leaders such as Dalton Berry and Jacob Rogers.
"We're making sure we don't have any holes back there," Brothers said.
Filling those holes are many of the guys who were pressed into duty early because of injuries.
Sophomore Trey Stone and junior Dylan Maze got valuable experience on the back line last year, and the Cardinals get a boost from the return of Michael Johnson, who missed all of his junior season because of injuries, providing Brothers with what he calls a "solid core."
"We're just getting them to rotate and get everybody where they need to go," said senior Derrick Zielke. "I'm hoping the experience (from last year) will help."
The athletic Zielke — who recorded six shutouts last year — returns in goal for a second season, and helps shore up the leadership void on defense.
"He's very important to this team," Lyvers said. "He possibly could be one of the best in the region."
Brothers knows that puts a lot of pressure on his goalkeeper, but he thinks Zielke is up to the challenge.
"He's done well this year so far," Brothers said. "There's a lot expected of him and he's handled that."
If it all comes into place, Brothers could get his first district title since the 2004 region title squad. He's not counting his chickens before they hatch, though, not with defending champs Thomas Nelson and an improved Bardstown squad to contend with, as well as a Bethlehem squad motivated by having their eight-year streak of district championships snapped.
"It's going to be interesting to see how the district plays out," Brothers said. "I think we can compete with anybody."
The Cardinals open the season on the road Tuesday at Taylor County.

About Arthur Moore
I saw this in Rome. A patrol would come through and the vendors would all grab everything. When the police were gone everything was back in place. It's so strange to us country folks. I've lived in a city of 300k people, and street vendors were the exception not the rule.
Fun fact, blocking wifi can and will result in large fines and/or a jail sentence in the US. Actually, any radio jammer will. Even federal prison's aren't immune to this.
Schools, movie theaters, prisons, etc... can always turn the rooms or buildings into a large Faraday cage, but in a shocking surprise teachers, guards, etc... like/need having cell phones or radios.
Germany doesn't have the 1st Amendment, but they are part of the EU, which has some free speech protections.
It is the primary duty of every US judge to determine if a law is in compliance with the constitution. This was deliberately set up as a check and balance to prevent a simple majority from becoming tyrannical.
From things like this it certainly looks like German judges don't have that ability.
I was going to buy one of these, but not with that attitude.
Can anyone recommend a good competitor? I'm in need of something like the nano as a PGP keystore for my laptop. It needs the standard features, wipe on too many bad attempts, and anti-tamper protection.
Youbikey would have worked, but they didn't make it easy. Well, now to do research...
Lets see here, if Oracle wins any re-implementation of an API would be illegal.
Dennis Ritchie, and Bjarne Stroustrup probably never transferred parts of the C and C++ API copyright to the standards body. Mostly because they, like everyone else, assumed it doesn't exist. A straight reading of an Oracle win is those two could hold almost the entire software world hostage. Almost, everyone uses C and C++. Microsoft, Google, Oracle, the US Government.
I really wish they would too, just to prove the absurdity of such a ruling.
The only problem is the legal term for protection racket is extortion. The Yelp ruling says it's not extortion to say, "Suck a pity this (possibly true) information is there for anyone to see, why don't you pay us some money/buy some ads and we'll make it go away."
The quote from the Yelp case is pretty horrifying. I can certainly see the similarity between the cases, but it seems clear that both are extortion.
Restricting obscene speech or actions is a quagmire of laws that might be on the books, but may or may not be legal. Take for example indecent exposure laws. If a woman goes topless in the NY library it's not allowed. Unless, she notifies the media that she's protesting. Then it's all legal....
You get the same things with these trademark laws. Let's say the KKK comes up with a new slogan. It's obviously protected speech, but if a sports team used it then it's no longer protected?
Ehh, I like the decision but this was probably more of an issue with policy and training than anything else. I'm perfectly willing to believe the officer was following poorly written instructions or not even thinking about how he turned the phone off.
I'm glad the court didn't go with a 'just this one time' it's ok decision though.
Terrorists communicate via personal conversations. Therefore, we must make it illegal to have personal conversations without a representative of the government present.
It's already started. Cisco saw a drop in sales after the pictures of the NSA intercepting their boxes in transit were released. If the FBI goes that route and wins, then the NSA don't even need to intercept shipments. They can just modify the source code and secretly demand Cisco sign it. Same goes for Windows.
It's been shown before that they can man-in-the-middle just about any network traffic. The next over the air, or mandatory windows update might contain all sorts of goodies from the NSA.
Like the Italian case against Google execs this is going to have a long term effect.
My bet is FB is going to move everything they can out of Brazil, and they won't be the only ones doing so.
But it's the "fastest Wifi" that made me laugh the loudest.
The interesting thing is this is about a laser printer. The laser printer segment has typically not actually run using the razor blade model. That's why a laser printer with the same features as an inkjet costs several hundred more dollars.
Thing is, these printers are typically bought by businesses or prosumers. While some businesses might stick to buying only brand name, everyone else who hears about this might re-evaluate if Lexmark is someone they want to continue doing business with. Brother makes some pretty good and inexpensive lasers after all.
Well yeah, but you run into the same issue that self encrypting drives have. The data in flash memory is encrypted with a huge key which is kept on the encryption chip. There's no way to read the key without de-encapsulating the chip, and that carries with it significant risk. Those things are meant to be tamper proof after all.
If apple did this correctly, the encryption chip is a separate component, that can not have its firmware changed. It can even still be in the same package as the CPU. By tightly defining the security element's inputs and outputs you can create an extremely hard to crack system, even if it can't receive firmware updates.
My fear is that the checks, including the counter for number of retries is handled by upgradable firmware. That would mean not only could apple crack any phone, but the next time a bootloader jailbreak is found everyone else could too.
It really makes me wonder just how much power the supreme court has. I mean if the CAFC keeps doing so badly, does SCOTUS have any options aside from continually smacking them down?
To be fair, SCOTUS is powerful enough that they could wipe out entire categories of patents or copyrights with a pen stroke. The question is if CAFC keeps it up can they just explicitly say that they don't consider anything that court does as binding?
Thing is, these leagues are by definition monopolies.
The US Government allows them to exist because in some situations having a monopoly is advantageous to many competitors. In theory, the government heavily regulates these monopolies. In practice, lobbying dollars tend to speak louder than voters.
The thing is, that breaks down when a large issue causes the population to band together. In this case, either the Federal Trade Commission, or the Federal Communication Commission could change their rules to disallow blackouts.
They have a pretty big case for deceptive trade practices if someone paid for something, and are then being threatened if they attempt to obtain what they paid for.
Looks like the NHL is about to lose quite a bit of money. Either through lost subscriptions, or from lawsuits and regulation. Heck, it will probably face all three.
People don't like steam because of the DRM. I was actually annoyed at how my physical copy of Skyrim is essentially just a steam code.
What people like about Steam is it's convenience. Want to buy a game, or give one as a gift? Super easy via Steam. Downloading and installation are easy as well.
If you make buying something easier and more convenient than pirating then people will buy. The thing is companies think DRM does this, but most DRM actually makes it harder to buy then pirate.
In other news, people can be assholes, but still be correct.
We all hate it, but you have to look past the messenger to the actual message.
The big question is if this is even legal.
Sure it might be for a private institution, but it's been found by multiple courts that public schools have the same restrictions as the government does. I mean, these universities get there own sanctioned police force for crying out loud. That' means they're bound by the U.S. Constitution.
It'll be interesting to see if there is a lawsuit. I can just see campus lawyers cringing. Especially given the likelihood that FERPA was violated.

Everquest 2 is restricted F2P now
Dec 2011
EQ2 is now restricted F2P.
EverQuest II - Home
Thinking about playing it if it's free.....but the restriction makes it nerfed version. It also has frequent reminder... I guess there be a pop-up menu to upgrade or login ads.
Read a lot of review about the restrict F2P. It's nerfed badly so that you have to pay to play it.
Going to check out lineage 2 f2p :)
Is it any different from Everquest 2 Extended (EQ2X)? Did they just roll the paid service into EQ2X?
No idea. My guess is EQ2X is a different game with different rules and content.
EQ2 is the originals with all the addons and monthly sub but went F2P.
It's exactly the same as EQ2X. The Freeport server, F2P service they offered last year while the regular servers say dying and almost populationless for the most part was so popular they decided the entire game would go to the same F2P model. Nerfed is an interesting term since all the content up to level 90 is available for free, you can microtransaction unlocks for things you want or you can do a regular sub and get access to everything in the game for a monthly fee. It was a model I enjoyed quiet a bit while I played when it was still called EQ2X.
just downloaded this last night keen to play, what server is unofficial oceanic?

Me too mate, I often despair at such things and when I go into one of my rants the wife says "Whats the point of getting angry, there's nothing you can do about it".
She fails to see that's partly why I get angry.
Society was much better behaved 50 years ago, where did it all go wrong.

Political Correctness, Health and Safety Executive and bloody HUMAN RIGHTS!!!
Perpertrators are better protected than the victim.
People like me were born!
(Actually I'm slightly older that what my ID says - I gave that age when I registered the account 'n' years ago - it was accurate then - honest!)
Some things get better, some get worse. I'm just not a great lover of what 'isolationalism' is doing to society - everybody seems so immersed in their own little worlds. I blame computers - oh, the irony of it all!

The Dunedin-based business uses an IRD subsidy to provide
small businesses and charities throughout New Zealand with a
free payroll service.
Up to $5 per client pay run was also put into a charitable
trust which, from next month, would distribute funds to
community organisations.
''Everyone wins ... there's no down side,'' Ms Evans said.
She was looking forward to the first funding round, in which
organisations in Port Chalmers would receive grants of
between $100 and $1000.
Thankyou Payroll was founded four years ago by Hugh Davidson,
who identified a gap in the market for such a service.
Initially, it was run from a Port Chalmers garage but it has
since moved into premises in the historic warehouse precinct
in Stafford St.
It has grown to about 400 clients throughout the country and
has processed about $46 million of pay since it started. A
potential 180,000 clients had been identified and it was
hoped to grow the business rapidly, Ms Evans, who joined the
company last year, said.
Thankyou Payroll is among the 10 finalists in Webstock's BNZ
Startup Alley. All finalists will pitch their ideas to a
panel of judges in Wellington this week.
Two finalists will each win $10,000 and a trip to Silicon
Valley, San Francisco, to meet top international names in the
web industry.
While admitting she was a little nervous, Ms Evans was
excited about the opportunity to tell people what the
business did. Even if they did not win, it was still great
publicity, she said.
With a team of three, the business was small and relatively
new but it had a very solid business model. Interns from the
University of Otago were a welcome addition over the summer.
Both the tech sector and also social entrepreneurship were
growing in Dunedin. A lot of people wanted their work to be
based on values, she said.
The ''conversation'' around social entrepreneurship was not
as mature in New Zealand as in some other countries and a lot
could be learnt from the likes of the United States and
Thankyou Payroll had already garnered great publicity -
''people love the concept'' - although some took quite a bit
of convincing they did not have to pay for the service.
''People are quite resistant to generosity,'' she said.
The company aimed to have 10% of the New Zealand market by
the end of 2015 and there was a possibility of exploring
international expansion. Staff numbers would also increase in
the future.
Originally from Brisbane, Ms Evans has been living in Otago
for the past eight years and loved the lifestyle the region
afforded - which included sometimes paddling a kayak to work.
''I came here to make a rock climbing documentary ... I've
tried to leave a few times but keep coming back,'' she said,
The city had a very well-connected community and there was a
very supportive business community. Overheads were also a lot
cheaper than in larger cities, she said.

|Maggiori informazioni:
"In 1928, Edgar Snow (1905-1972) set out to see the world, hoping to make his mark as a travel-adventure writer. Shanghai was to be a mere stopover, but Snow stayed on in China for thirteen years. The idealistic young Midwesterner became a journalist and developed close friendships with China's emerging revolutionary leaders. His 1938 classic, Red Star Over China, strongly influenced American views of the Chinese Communists and is still in print nearly sixty years later. S. Bernard Thomas's sensitive biography of Edgar Snow emphasizes the journalist's China experience and shows how he became involved in events along with reporting them. An epilogue takes up Snow's cold war travails and his often frustrating "bridge-building" efforts between China and the United States in the final decade of his life."--Jacket.

Young mum's shock death
Esther Cohen,who died on Sunday, seen here with her husband Mendel and three of her six children
A young mother of six who was a leading Lubavitch emissary in Manchester died on Sunday just five weeks after giving birth to a baby boy.
More than 400 people attended the funeral on Tuesday of Esther Aidel Cohen, 33, whose husband heads Broughton Park's Chabad Beis Menachem Synagogue and Lubavitch Boys Primary School.
Mrs Cohen, of Broughton Park, died at North Manchester General Hospital, where she had been in intensive care following the birth of her child, named Avraham Tzvi. Her death was thought to be unconnected to the pregnancy.
Rabbi Yitschok Klyne, senior dean at Salford's Lubavitch Yeshivah and a family friend, said the death had shocked the whole Lubavitch community.
He described Mrs Cohen as "very well liked, an unassuming character, very well respected and very sorely missed.
"The family are very central to Salford Lubavitch activities and the whole community. Mendel is a student of mine and we are all devastated."
Mrs Cohen, who was born in New York State, is from an illustrious Lubavitch family: her grandparents helped found Jewish outreach activities in America and Canada.
She came to Manchester over five years ago with her husband,
Rabbi Mendel Cohen, after he gained rabbinic qualifications in Melbourne, Australia. Manchester-born Rabbi Cohen, whose father heads Salford's Lubavitch Yeshivah, returned to Manchester to become the principal of the 60-pupil Lubavitch Boys' School.
The couple became popular communal figures, founding an outreach synagogue known as The Minyan in the Salford Beis Menachem building.
Family friend Rabbi Yossi Chazan, of Prestwich's Holy Law Synagogue, said words could not describe the tragedy.
"Esther was reserved, gracious and very God-fearing and built a beautiful family," Rabbi Chazan said. "She was an aristocrat of the spirit, but at the same time very devoted and always behind her husband in the running of the shul and the school. She sacrificed a tremendous amount for these communal organisations."
Mrs Cohen is survived by her husband and their six children, Moishe, 10, Mushka, 9, Rivka, 7, Chana, 4, Yechiel, 2, and five-week-old Avraham Tzvi.

Skip to comments.President Bushs victories receiving little attention
Posted on 06/07/2006 7:19:31 AM PDT by george76
When President Bush nominated Gen. Michael Hayden to run the CIA, the press focused on disapproving Democrats and even some Republicans who were dubious about confirmation.
A month later, when the Senate confirmed Hayden by a 78-15 vote, the story was given much less emphasis in the media, which had moved on to other stories critical of the Bush administration.
Similarly, when Bush nominated one of his aides, Brett Kavanaugh, to the federal judiciary, the press was filled with reports about Democrats threatening a filibuster because Kavanaugh once worked for special prosecutor Kenneth Starr in the case against President Clinton.
Last week, there was much less media coverage of a Rose Garden ceremony in which Bush presided over the swearing-in of Kavanaugh, who had been confirmed by a 57-36 vote.
Bush has quietly been racking up small victories like these that seem at odds with the medias conventional wisdom of a presidency on the skids.
In addition to success with his nominations, Bush also is presiding over a booming economy and ...
The White House remains convinced it is not getting a fair shake from the mainstream media.
President Bushs leadership is achieving a steady flow of results that do not always dominate the days headlines on their own but that together represent real progress for the American people, ...
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
What victories?
Maybe in how to lose credibility with your constituancy. Handing over the country to illegals. Giving Iran nuclear stuff and generally making me embarrased I voted for him TWICE?
Sheeeeesh. Victories my eye......
Liberal bloggers are crying in their keyboards this "mourning".
"Kavanaugh once worked for special prosecutor Kenneth Starr in the case against President Clinton."
That's reason enough for the media and the lefties to hate him.
I am so grateful that we have a president not wedded to public acclamation. I don't agree with all of his policies and of late, I disagree with him more and more. But I admire his ability to lead regardless of the personal consequences. I think historians will treat him well.
maybe if you would look past the ONE issue, you could see
Bush had the same platform for immagration that he does now when you voted for him. TWICE.
I have indeed noticed in the past few weeks that, with the exception of the immigration issues, Bush has racked up some nice wins. It just proves to me how the press is hoping, PRAYING for another Watergate. They haven't brought down a President in over 30 years, and they're licking their chops. It doesn't my heart good to see that they're gonna fail.
good point. THANK YOU!
Well like it or not, I believe Bush did support a guest worker program in 2000 so I expect he will have another win there too. I wish he would have won on private social security accounts.
The old media focus is on bad Republicans and good DUmmies.
The same old story is tiring.
It is nice to see the real progress with Brett Kavanaugh to the federal judiciary and a 78-15 vote on Gen. Michael Hayden to run the CIA.
Good ol'Mark Halperin! The very same Mark Halperin who said, before the 2004 election, that ABC news has to take Bush to task for everything he says and to not take Kerry to task for erroneous statements.
People like him should not be in journalism.
The DUmmies may say that they do not know anyone who supports Conservative issues.
These liberals do not get out much.
You mean like how Bush has successfully seated TWO conservative Supreme Court justices, one of whom is CHIEF Justice? Yeah, failure my @$$.
And as HOTTIEBOY mentioned in an earlier post, Bush's stance on illegal immigration isnt different than when he first ran for president, so if you dont like it, you should have known before voting for him. If you didnt know, maybe you weren't as informed of a voter as you should have been. But do NOT call him a panderer.
For the record, I don't agree with his stance on immigration yet I voted for him. I do support showing our President and congressmen where we stand on immigration. If we send out a strong enough message, they'll reconsider their own soft stance. That's the beauty of the vote-seeking politicians.
Didn't you read the article?
Maybe in how to lose credibility with your constituancy. Handing over the country to illegals. Giving Iran nuclear stuff and generally making me embarrased I voted for him TWICE?
Sheeeeesh. Victories my eye......
I agree. It's like getting a free meal for yourself as the people delivering the meal take your home out from under you. If he, analysts, can't understand this, well, then the problem's bigger and more widespread than we all think.
All of Bush's "little victories" only matter in a secure nation under the rule of law. Meanwhile he's far less domestically than is on paper to make our nation more secure at home, and his complicity in not enforcing our existing laws while blabbering about "immigration reform" when we need "execution reform" and "border security" reform instead, is reprehensible.
He has plenty of time to construct a wall across nearly the entie southern border during his term if he so chooses to endorse that. AFTER that we can discuss the disposition of illegal invaders currently here. What about that is so difficult to understand, for him!
It leads to the clear and obvious conclusion that he simply doesn't want border security and has an agenda, and one that's terminal to the health of our nation over the midterm.
On the flip side, if he were to construct such a wall, a real one, not a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood one, then he'd propel himself into greatness immediately upon it's construction.
The happy talk by Mark Halperin is trying to spin their California Congressional race loss.
Republican Brian Bilbray won.
That was a very pleasant surprise after all the media spin.
Yeah, you should have voted for Kerry and Gore.
Something needs to be done about it but don't expect a 50 year problem to be solved in a short while.
Too early not enough coffee yet.
We didn't have the extent of the problem nor was the problem that we did have highlighted to a fraction of what it is now post-911 either.
We didn't, couldn't have, and shouldn't have expected Clinton to do the right thing regardless of the circumstances during his term. But we should have been able to expect it from Bush.
Anyone reflecting on the "little victories" don't seem to be able to reason past the notion that if this country sees the loss of over 100 million of its current citizens, namely the baby boomers and older, the baby boomers of which make up the single largest demographic group in the history of the US, along with the same number (or so) replacing them of illegal (or legal) Mexicans will necessarily change the fabric of this nation permanently.
What's so tough to see thru here.
Present population: ~ 300 million
Loss of ~ 100 million over 30 years with nowhere near the birth rate to replace on the parts of "traditional Americans" = 200 million plus birth rate for what, a fraction of that in replacement.
Add to that 100 million Mexicans in a scenario in which it appears as an open door policy practically speaking, along with a birth rate of those currently here that very substantially exceeds that of "traditional Americans," and we're looking at approximately a nation with:
...about equal numbers of Mexicans and "traditional Americans" in about 30 years, and that's if others from all over the world don't get in on the gig.
So we'd have ~ 60-160 million Mexicans and high 200-and-some million "traditional Americans" with an enormous proportion of those Mexicans being "shoe-in" Dim voters. Add that to the already guaranteed lib voters plus the morons in this nation, and well, it'll be more than the swing that's needed to set the tone for reducing our Constitution to piece of arse-wipe.
Even if the figure is 40 or 60 million, it's still going to destroy our nation as we know it. They'll all end up voting and we can all then kiss conservative representation in anything even approaching a majority right out the window permanently.
And what happens when the voting majority in some southern states supports the "return of that state to Mexico?" Then what? Can't ever happen, right. Sure.
We'd all better begin to learn Spanish too, because I'll wager my life's savings that there will be absolutely no practical reason that Mexicans will ever have to learn English. As well, once this goes down, anything resembling the W/Senate immmigration plan, it will only open the door to future such policies, not the opposite.
These people won't ever really have to pay any back taxes as who's going to collect them if they don't? What, are they going to throw 20 million into jail/prison for tax evasion? Or more?
They won't ever learn Enlish witness that largely hispanic areas now where only spanish is spoken. Anyone thinking that they're going to be forced to learn American history and will is delusional.
It is stunning the number of supposed conservatives, or perhaps simply GOPs, that truly believe that additional laws that the feds say they'll put on the books will actually be enforced. If they were enforcing the ones we have, then this wouldn't even be an issue.
Vive Le U.S. of Mexico! /s
and I agree with you wholeheartedly, (though I am a little young to remember 1986!) But it is this kind of debate and airing of facts and opinions that I believe is healthy. But all the name-calling and insulting of Bush based solely on immigration (and soon, Iran) is getting old.
Looking past the ONE issue (and noting that the guy mentioned two, not one), I see:
- McCain-Feingold
- RKBA neglect
- $8T debt
- 50% total tax rate
- $250B to NOLA
- and many more.
There are a few positives - trivial contrasted with the above.
Just do 3 things:
- lower taxes
- balanced budget
- full BoR protection.
As for the immigration problem that has been building for years Something done about it but don't expect a 50 year problem to be solved in a short while.
Huh? The vast majority of the nation is behind exactly that.
As to being a 50-year problem, I don't think so. It's been a potential problem for 50 years. It's only been a real problem since Mexicans, many of which are known criminals, began pouring over our borders in quantities that were far too great for us to absord without running the risk of altering this nation for the worse forever.
As well, we don't have 50 years to correct it. The more that come, the less likely the chances that any real action will be taken. I believe that Bush realizes this and is buying time by not acting immediately on this. We're close to the tipping point now.
Within 10 years you'll/we'll begin to see enormous regions of this country in which primarily spanish is spoken. Signs in many regions will read in Spanish only. Political representative will begin to mmore and more reflect the desires of a formerly Mexican populace with no serious loyalties to the U.S. The ones that are here now and have lived here for a while aren't loyal to the U.S.
Just wait. Many of those backing Bush on this are going to be scratching their noodles in 2010 or 2015 saying "WTH were we thinking!" But by then it'll be too late.
You can always halt something such as this an then reverse it in the future. You cannnot continue on in ignorance of the future and try to do then what they say is impossible now, namely deport millions upon millions. What, we're gonna try and deport 20% or more of our nation in 10 or 15 years? Right.
Fruitbat, keep writing....you ARE the voice of reason in the thread!
Top 11 Things That Anti-War Protesters Would Have Said At the Normandy Invasion on D-Day ( Had There Been Anti-War Protesters At Normandy )
11. No blood for French Wine!
7. The soldiers are still on the beach, this invasion is a quagmire
5. We are attacked by Japan and then [ we ] attack France? Roosevelt is worse than the Kaiser!
4. Why bring democracy to Europe by force and not to Korea or Vietnam? I blame racism
3. This war doesnt attack the root causes of Nazism
2. I support the troops, but invading Germany does not guarantee that in 56 years we won't have a President who's worse than Hitler
I'm witchoo.
To begin with, no one with an IQ of a soapdish really believes the war in Iraq has anything to do with oil.
7. The soldiers are still on the beach, this invasion is a quagmire
I think the world knows we squashed any Iraqi military machine in about 72 hours. The cluster flub now is the administration's blind eye to the bumb rush our troops are experiencing with all the yahoo, jihadists allowed to run across the borders and blow up everything. Why that little sub-plot wasn't thought out is a real brain twister.
5. We are attacked by Japan and then [ we ] attack France? Roosevelt is worse than the Kaiser!
Ok....I bought into the "We are facing a imminent nuke/bio attack" ploy. But I get why we went to Iraq and Afghanistan. I still feel deep inside my knower that we are staged in the area to face an Iranian threat. Rummy knew it might blow up while we were there ... but it just didn't happen.
4. Why bring democracy to Europe by force and not to Korea or Vietnam? I blame racism
Again, I got the bringing democracy thing to the region ... but I'm over that fantasy now. It's not unlike having to watch the south Vietnamise spit in our faces back in the 60's.
3. This war doesnt attack the root causes of Nazism
The only thing that'll stop radical Islam...is non-radical Islam. Anyone who thinks differently is a fool.
2. I support the troops, but invading Germany does not guarantee that in 56 years we won't have a President who's worse than Hitler
La la land .....
And I am of the opinion that Bush had one of the largest mandates handed any major leader of the free world to clean house and he screwed the pooch.
...and I'd rather swallow your socks than vote for either of those two pigs...or any dim. Aren't you tired of having to vote non-democrat? I am.
Time will tell. Prior conservative appointments turned liberal.
Now try addressing my other points, rather than drawing more lines in the sand.
oh I was alive in 1986! one-year-old though...
I should read up on that some more. Guess I'll hit up my favorite source...LexisNexis... =)
That is probably the LEAST embarassing thing you have done.
Then the primaries is the time to do that... just make sure that you get a Pub who can win.
You and the Illegalaphobes are so full of crap that it prevents you from accurate observation and analysis.
Well, here's a little tune Congress is playing right now that'll surely put a spring in your step and thank Bush for providing the music:
I'm disturbed by several things Bush has done/is doing. But I'm very satisfied about several other things he has done/is doing. I'm thoroughly disgusted by the Senate. The House is doing reasoanbly well (other than spending).
So it's a mixed bag to be sure, as is every group of politicians.
The following commentary is a MUST READ for anyone interested in an HONEST, ACCURATE appraisal of the Bush presidency:
We all know the polls are BOGUS; however, it can be instructive to note trendlines . . . and the trendlines for the President are UP:
36% approve 57% disapprove
UP from 31% approve 63% disapprove in early May . . .
Important Stat:
78% approval from Republicans (up from 69%)
37% approve 57% disapprove
UP from 36% approve 60% disapprove . . .
Important Stat:
77% approval from Republicans
--only 27% approve of Congress (again, who should be running from whom?)
Illegalaphobes? How do you say that in Espanole'?

Awesome segment!!! Excited about bots
Internet Explorer Dev tools are still being used for Edge. Nothing was done in this space to move on from that.

Who is the speaker at the end with the blonde hair? by the way both speakers where very good!!! I just want to follow them on twitter.
I need to be able to accomplish this:
is there anyway to accomplish this?
I don't understand... Are these free or are they apart of a larger package? Moreover, what is the diff between the controls that are given with Microsoft vs. Telerik?
The blog, or site is not easy to find. I have no idea where the blog is and instructions relating to the databases..
Any help would be appreciated.. .
The second shortened code example only does not show anything in the textblock when the button is clicked... the last code example works perfectly...
I tried to see what the error is but I didn't see anything wrong and this was no bugs so...
List<Car> myList = new List<Car>(); Car car1 = new Car() { Make = "Oldsmobile", Model = "Cutlas Supreme" }; Car car2 = new Car() { Make = "Geo", Model = "Prism" }; Car car3 = new Car() { Make = "Nissan", Model = "Altima" };
I see the discussion here is good for after the class talk...
Moreover, I see that a little bit of an issue or problem for absolute begginners is that this might be a little too assuming/accelerated for absolute begginers... I have purchased a C# book so hopefully if I read that for a couple days and then come back to these lessons they might actually make a bit more sense i total. I feel that at any part I move on... even when i know how to do sometning, that if I do not understand it it is just going to hurt me in the long run...
Here is the code I used...
if (myTextBox.Text == "2 4 15 17 23 42") { myTextBlock.Text = "Recalibrating Energy Core Complete..."; } else myTextBlock.Text = "You lose Sucka!!!";
The reason I bring it up is the I ommitted, and it worked just fine, the
string message = ""'; or the string userValue = myTextBox.Text
Can someone explain what the purpose of doing it the other two ways above would ever have been for in the first place?
I am a super noob so all the help the better.

Research Institution:
AbstractITN will leverage its patented solid-state flexible thin-film secondary-lithium-battery and photovoltaic (PV) technology to develop enabling innovative integrated power systems for man-portable applications. This power system will provide 50 W for up to 4 hours with solar energy conversion, recharging, power management and power storage. ITN will work with our production battery company, Infinite Power Solutions, and our production thin-film photovoltaic company, Global Solar Energy, to develop an integrated flexible PV/secondary battery power system with very high power to weight and extremely long cycle life. Our thin-film battery is the only technology with the demonstrated 100,000+ full depth of discharge cycle-life needed to last the lifetime of the system. Combined with our thin-film PV, which has the lightweight form factor and high efficiencies needed for portability, ITN will develop a self-recharging power system to operate field equipment such as two-way radios, global positioning systems, computers and field sensors. This revolutionary technology is projected to weigh just 1580 g and is designed to replace or augment the standard non-rechargeable 1240 g BA5590 battery used extensively by our military today. This slight increase in weight is well substantiated when all multifunctional power system factors are considered.

Upgraded to 2.8 yesterday, and the first thing I wanted to take a look at was the redesigned widget panel. I am unable to "uncollapse" my live widgets to get at the settings any longer.
When I click on the downward-facing triangle to the right of the widget title, the page jumps a little but the options do not appear. The error is reproducible on Mac Firefox 3 and Mac Safari 4, and I've tried it on both Intel and PPC computers to no avail. I run a lot of extensions in Firefox, but none in Safari 4.
I've also tried clearing the caches for the browsers, turned off Google Gears for the site, and did a re-install of 2.8 using the auto-installer in the dashboard. None worked.
Any ideas?

March 23, 2010 by Rob Newell
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the last three years, the FLW Tour event on Lake Norman presented by the National Guard has been held at the exact same time of year: the last week in April.
During those years, the FLW Tour pro field learned the spawn and postspawn habits of Norman bass so well that they knew what the bass were doing before the bass did. In years past, sight-fishing has been a key strategy for top finishers. Also, fooling postspawn fry-guarders with topwaters and lightly weighted plastics, such as shaky heads and wacky rigs, played a strong hand.
This year, things will be different. The timing of the FLW Tour event has been bumped up a month to the final week of March, and the Carolinas are just starting to thaw out from an unusually cold and wet winter. As a result, Lake Norman is much muddier and colder than normal. Another wrinkle in the form of lower water levels has also contributed to Norman being abnormal compared to what FLW Tour pros are used to.
As the practice round wound down Monday, pros were reporting plenty of fish biting, but the old practice of trolling around the bank with a pair of polarized sunglasses to visually locate cull-ups was not happening.
Local pro Brian Travis of Conover, N.C., believes the timing of this year's event is falling right on that fine line of the first wave of bass coming to the bank to spawn.
"Maybe, maybe not," Travis said of Norman bass dusting off nests this week. "I've seen some 65-degree water, but I have not seen any beds in practice. So if it happens, it's going to be during the tournament - maybe Friday or Saturday when we're closer to the full moon."
Travis is not the only one who has struck out trying to spy on bedders in Norman's lower end, where the water is clearest. Some of the Tour's usual sight-fishing suspects - including Greg Pugh, Anthony Gagliardi and Clark Wendlandt - have all noted that bedding activity during practice was nonexistent.
Only Greg Pugh, who has recorded three top-10s at Norman, is holding out hope that he will be able to sight-fish toward the end of the week.
"I'm going to keep checking them," Pugh said. "Ideally, I'd like to just go fishing the first day or two and then by Friday maybe bust a big bag looking at them. But the warming trend we were having was interrupted by a much cooler, rainy day the second day of practice, so that kind of messed things up. It's going to take some strong sun and slick days over the next few days to get them to move up. But, hey, it's the end of March. All the pears and cherry trees are blooming, and I know what that means: any day now ... any day."
The FLW Tour event on Lake Norman begins Wednesday. Be sure to catch all the action right here on FLWOutdoors.com, starting with the Live Page coverage starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders Health Center
Social Phobia
Does this scenario sound familiar? The boss says you need to do a presentation in front of some high-powered executives. A week later, you're facing 25 cold, stony faces. You begin to sweat. Your throat tightens and you feel like you're choking. Your heart is doing a tap dance against your ribcage. You begin to feel dizzy and wonder if you're going to be able to stand up. Or how about this: Every time you go out to dinner with someone you're interested in, you freeze up with anxiety. You feel the sweat forming on your brow; your breathing becomes rapid and shallow. The words stick in your mouth, and you feel like a complete idiot. You are very sure the person you're with also thinks you are a complete idiot. As a result, you now keep to yourself, avoiding contact with anybody except business connections.
If these descriptions sound like you or someone you know, you may already know something about social-anxiety disorder, also called social phobia. This disorder is defined as the intense and persistent fear of being scrutinized, judged adversely or humiliated in social situations. When social-phobia sufferers find themselves in the feared situation, they often experience panic attacks. As much as 13 percent of the general public suffers from social phobia over the course of a lifetime, and many will suffer impairment in their educational, financial and vocational lives. Nearly one third of social-phobia sufferers wind up abusing alcohol, probably as "self-medication" for their anxiety. Some even consider suicide, especially if social phobia is accompanied (as it often is) by another psychiatric disorder.

10 Questions for Doctor About Anxiety
If you were recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, consider asking your doctor these questions at your next visit. What are my treatment options for anxiety? Are there any underlying medical problems that could be causing my anxiety symptoms? Will I need to take an anxiety drug? Will I take it every day or as needed? How long will I need to take it? What side effects can I expect from medications? Is there a way to minimize or prevent side effects? What should I do if I mi...
Read the 10 Questions for Doctor About Anxiety article > >
Some studies show that social phobia is more common in women than in men; however, in most clinical settings, the sexes are about equally represented. Social phobia typically has its onset in the mid-teens, sometimes in a youngster with a history of shyness. Onset of social phobia can follow a specific, humiliating event, or develop insidiously over many years. Children who show "selective mutism" (refusing to speak in certain social situations) may suffer from a form of social phobia. For some, social phobia is confined to a few very specific situations, such as public speaking. For others, social phobia is more pervasive and extends to nearly all social situations. The bad news is that, if left untreated, social phobia is usually a chronic, unremitting, lifelong disease. The good news is that there are now several effective treatments for this debilitating disorder.

Heyo, I have quite a dilemna here.
I've recently moved servers and subsequently upgraded to 2.03.
I am able to write and edit posts, but I can't edit ONE of my pages. I can edit the others just fine. Which is really weird.
The text editor is able to load, just that when I press "Save" it simply goes back to the Create a New Post page, but nothing is saved. [The others go back to "Page Management(edit-pages.php)]
Sometimes I even encounter a 403 Forbidden Error:
You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/post.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I haven't touched any file permissions, only index.php and .htaccess, being at 644 and 666 respectively.
Anyone has any idea what's going on? =S

In the example picture below, I know the points $A$, $B$, $C$ & $D$. How would I go about calculating $x$, $y$, $z$ & $w$ and $O$, but as points on the actual plane itself (e.g. treating $D$ as $(0, 0)$, $A$ as $(0, 1)$, $C$ as $(1, 0)$ and $B$ as $(1, 1)$.
Ultimately I need to be able to calculate any arbitrary point on the plane so I'm unsure as to whether this would be possible through linear interpolation of the results above or whether I would actually just have to do this via some form of Matrix calculation? I don't really know matrix math at all!
Just looking for something I can implement in JavaScript (in an enviroment that does support matricies).

Product provides good additional padding, especially for long trips. Did a 26 mile bike ride on Saturday and a 12 mile kayaking trip on Sunday with no discomfort. I don't like the stick on option for the pad. I have been laying it in the existing seat pad as I like the option to let both dry at the end of a long trip. A velcro type option would be great for those with existing pads already integrated with the seat. My factory seat is great for a couple of hours, this seat makes it great for at least 6; probably more.

A:The padding sure helps, but I don't know about your specific application. The seat material is somewhat pliable though.Answered on 7/7/2013 by Anonymous
I have used this product and had to return it as a "bad fit for me." I also have lower back issues and encourage you to try the NRS Seat. It "may" work for you... it almost worked for me. I am 6'4" tall and weigh about 215lbs. I think it would be a great fit for someone a bit smaller than I am.
I am 95% certain it will adapt to your boat just fine. It is flexible enough to bold to curve of the hull. The other thing I have had great success with is the smaller size self inflating camp pads... like Thermorest.
The great thing about NRS is that you can return it to them if it doesn't work. I always buy from them first!
Hope this helps.

A:I bought this seat a couple of years ago as a replacement for the padded seat in an antique white water kayak I bought for my granddaughter. I adhered this seat to the built in hard contoured seat in the boat. This seat is flexible enough to conform to contours. Just be aware that this seat is thin. It will add a little padding to an existing seat, but won't provide much contour on it's own.Answered on 7/7/2013 by Anonymous

Q:I have a 93 Valley Pintail & 94 Nordkapp. Will this fit either boat, both have the hard hanging seats, not the foam seat. If it fits which would be better the soft or the firm version? Would the Padz foam seat be a better choice? ThanksAsked on 3/24/2013 by Seamus from Bradenton Fl
2 answers
A:Seamus, are the seats in your boats contoured to match the curves of a bottom, or they just a flat surface? It they're flat, either of these pads should work. If they're contoured, only the soft model could conform to them. Whichever one you choose, before removing the sheet covering the self-stick surface, press them in place to be sure they will conform to your seat.Answered on 3/24/2013 by Clyde from NRS

Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 1/11/2013 by Anonymous
I purchased this seat a few years back. I'm not sure if it is made of dense memory foam, but it seems to be waterproof, as water will collect in the bottom of the seat. It does get damp, but dries out quickly. It has held up well and provided good cushioning, and I am happy with it.

A:I feel like the seat is made of pretty dense foam. It's got some squishy
to it but it certainly prevents me from feeling the hard plastic of the
bottom of my kayak! Waterproof....it doesn't absorb water very much from
my experience but YMMV.
A:Yes to both questions - I've used mine for several years.Answered on 1/10/2013 by Anonymous

A:I can't tell you if it is waterproof or not ( I try not to get it wet). I installed this on a small kayak I have that I use for fishing and to access
hunting areas away from the crowds. What I can tell you is that this seat has made using my kayak more enjoyable due to the padding that it provides. If you are looking for a more comfortable seat I would definitely recommend it.Answered on 1/10/2013 by Anonymous
A:Hi, I have this seat. I'm not sure if it's memory foam but it's dense. It does serve well as a cushion (I use it on my raft) and yes, it is water proof. Over a few years the blue lining has come loose and has worn away but the cushion still works well. Hope this helps!Answered on 1/12/2013 by Anonymous
A:I would describe it as moderately dense foam. I am glad I got the softer
model. Both the foam and the cover are non-absorbent. You do not end up
sitting in a puddle. I like mine very much.Answered on 1/11/2013 by Anonymous
