It's just imbalanced beyond repair. There's like at least 4-5 guys per single woman and it doesn't help a lot of these guys are horny spammers who flood out ones who are for actual relationships. I think a few years ago online dating worked but now it's cluster fuck.
Jan 9, 2014 2:43am
No, still works. Try working out.
Jan 9, 2014 10:22am
I'm currently dating (as in just going on dates) with three different women I met online. But then again the gay community here isn't that big so not a whole lot of spamming going on.
I also have noticed that if I just check out a girls' profile a couple times and she checks mine out a couple times, and I see her out at the bar/club, she will more than likely approach me asking if I am from on here. And then boom, get her number. Works like a charm
Jan 9, 2014 2:07pm
Didn't know going to the gym magically makes online dating work, if that was the case I would be in like 50 relationships by now.
Jan 10, 2014 12:37pm
Being a dweeb magically makes online dating not work.
Jan 10, 2014 12:47pm
I bet it works well for assholes, and you should take your own advice with the gym you don't exactly look like an Olympian yourself.
Jan 10, 2014 1:04pm
Hear hear .. Relationships/dating is getting quicker and shorter with Tinder/HotorNot type apps. Truly, people looking for something really valuable online in my experience are growing less by the hour. Every want is easily accessible and satisfied depending on location and in an hour . Most people opt for the now - instead of the content/quality .
Jan 10, 2014 1:13pm
I am hot & smart, I don't need to go to the gym.
You're a stupid nerd, and the gym won't work for you, I was just hoping you'd have a dumbbell fall on your face or something.
Jan 10, 2014 1:45pm
so youre saying I should have some beautiful women at the gym throw dumb-bells at my face?
is that the secret?
should I throw the first dumb-bell, or just wait for her to throw one?

I definitely think there should be some sort of anti-spam policies implemented to prevent creepy old sugar daddies from copy/pasting the same message to 200 profiles. Maybe a captcha would be required after sending a certain number of messages in an hour? Or maybe some kind of originality filter that would "mute" your message after sending too many identical ones.
Jan 14, 2014 8:23pm
HottieUnlimited is so attractive and smart that he doesn't need to put any effort into getting the ladies as he spends more time trolling on the okcupid forums instead of chasing after the ladies.
Jan 16, 2014 4:27pm
Did ur mom help u w/ that one?
Jan 16, 2014 8:28pm
FOR YOUR INFORMATION! Some us horny spammers are looking for relationships too. Douche!
Jan 17, 2014 1:46am
That sounds like a guess on your part. A few years ago, the official ratio from OkCupid staff was 4:3 men:women, and Quantcast traffic demographics supported this ratio.
Online dating works for plenty of guys. Ignoring heteronormativity, each date a girl gets is a date some guy gets. If a minority of guys are doing all the dating, that's just a reflection on the fact that most guys on OkCupid are some combination of ugly, stupid, unfunny, boring, ass-kissing, approval-seeking, and anti-Taoist.
Jan 19, 2014 2:00pm
It's imbalanced but not due to an imbalance in the ratio of male to female profiles..
That's why... http://www.businessinsider.com/online-dating-message-statistics-2013-7
It's also why I have not sent a first message in weeks..
Jan 19, 2014 3:25pm
Interesting article Yipeekiyamf. Can't say that I'm too surprised though.
Jan 19, 2014 3:29pm
I have not sent the first message since 2013.. Today I was emailed first by an attractive woman and her profile started out ": Warning: I like the man to make the first move. :)"
Really work on your photos and your profile. Then sit back and relax because done right you can trigger even an out of character message.
Jan 19, 2014 7:05pm
Online dating is fun and easy, and if you're having trouble it's because you suck at it.
Jan 19, 2014 7:41pm
Don't try too hard.. If you try to force it, it will turn out crappy.
Kind of like a fart..

Visa Europe Offers to Settle EU's Card-Fees Case
Visa Europe Ltd., operator of the largest payment-card network in the 27-nation European Union, offered to reduce debit card transaction fees paid by retailers in a bid to resolve an EU antitrust case.
The European Commission said it may close its investigation into debit-card charges after Visa Europe promised "to significantly cut" fees to 0.2 percent. A separate probe into fees for credit-card and deferred-debit transactions, where customers must settle their bills at the end of the month, will continue, the Brussels-based agency said.
"This does not mean that the Visa case is over," Amelia Torres, a commission spokeswoman told journalists at a regular briefing in Brussels today. "We still have an investigation concerning credit cards and that continues."
Out of 390 million Visa-branded cards in Europe, about 256 million are debit cards, the London-based company said. The so-called interchange fee, based on Visa's guidelines, is paid by the retailer's bank to the bank that issued the customer's card. MasterCard Inc. settled a similar case with the commission last year, agreeing to reduce the interchange fee to 0.3 percent a transaction for credit cards and 0.2 percent a transaction for debit cards.
"In proposing these commitments Visa Europe has acted in the best interests of consumers, retailers and our member banks," said Peter Ayliffe, president of Visa Europe, in a statement today.
The commission will seek comments on the debit-card proposals before formally adopting the commitments.
'Weak' Compromise
EuroCommerce, a group representing retailers such as Carrefour SA and Tesco Plc, said the commission had accepted a "weak interim compromise" only on debit card fees.
"We are very disappointed that the commission has opted for this marginal way out on Visa", Xavier Durieu, EuroCommerce's secretary general, said in a statement. "Since EuroCommerce lodged the first complaints 13 years ago, neither Visa nor MasterCard have brought convincing justification for interchange fees on card transactions."
The group last year complained to the commission over the fees.
The offer concerns Visa Europe's fees in 9 European countries, including Iceland, Ireland and Italy. New fees in Luxembourg and the Netherlands concern prepaid cards issued by Visa, the commission said.
In 2002, Visa Europe resolved an initial EU complaint by agreeing to cut the interchange fee over time and cap it based on costs. The commission concluded then that the five-year agreement would help payment cards work to the benefit of consumers. The commission in 2008 opened its new probe into Visa Europe's fees a few months after the settlement expired.
Visa Europe split from Visa Inc. before the U.S. card company's initial public offering in early 2008.

Just like to say I think this is the best plugin I've come across for social buttons. Really easy to adjust the settings and tweak the css to get the exact look you are after.
I have come across one problem.
In Opera the tweet button doesn't show up, it just shows text. yet the other buttons (like, plus one) do.
Is there a fix for this??

I've got a legacy system that I'm supporting. Currently there is a dot matrix printing a document from a parallel port. I need to split the print request, capture it in another device (I already have this device) but also allow the request to "continue" on to the printer.
Essentially I need one request to be sent to 2 devices and I need a "post-request" solution, I don't have any access to the source code, or even the computers (I've got physical access but not OS/Login access).

As users upgrade their software, in this case Apple's iLife (specifically iPhoto), they may find that some of their older databases are not able to be upgraded. While this does not occur often, it is a possibility. The most common reason is a corrupt iPhoto Library database file which often results in the failure to upgrade.
"We have been using iPhoto 08 for quite some time. Prior to upgrading to iPhoto 08 (from iPhoto 06), I had several iPhoto libraries...some backed up to external drives. Now I want to see some photos from one of those older, backed up libraries. When I try to open it in iPhoto 08, it says I need to upgrade the library. Fair enough.Unfortunately, when an iPhoto Library database file is damaged (the library6.iphoto file in this case), and iPhoto Library Manager cannot resolve the issue, the only recourse is rebuilding the iPhoto Library manually. You will lose your preference data (albums, books, keywords, edits) but your original photos will be preserved.
So I click Continue and then I immediately get a an error message saying the library is damaged and unreadable. If I use Terminal to examine the contents of the iPhoto directory...it seems everything is there (jpgs, AlbumData.xml...etc) and I can copy a jpg out of there and open it individually. So the data seems to be there. And AlbumData.xml is pointing to an existing location. But iPhoto 08 can't upgrade the library. What gives?
If I try to run iPhoto Library Manager, once I get by the selection screen it again tells me I need to upgrade and I get the same "unreadable" error so that doesn't seem to work."
Apple Support Discussions user "Terence Devlin" describes how to create and populate a new iPhoto Library:
"In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'This is also the appropriate solution if you encounter the same upgrading issues with iPhoto '09. As always, MacFixIt recommends backing up your data before performing upgrade procedures.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Go into the damaged iPhoto Library and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library."
Read this Apple Support Discussions thread describing issues when upgrading older iPhoto Libraries.

I'm running the latest releases of WP and MapPress, and after the latest MapPress update, maps no longer display on my site:
As you can see the map appears to LOAD. The map marker appears and you can pan around with the mouse, but the map itself doesn't display.
Checked in all major browsers, deactivated plug-ins, and the wp_footer() call is in its proper place. No maps. Also tried deactivating MP CSS and loading the maps last options. Still no maps.
Maps display fine if I switch to Twenty Twelve theme, even with all plug-ins activated.
Any ideas how to fix this...???

The Open Society Institute ( OSI) is a private operating and grant-making foundation that serves as the hub of the Soros foundations network, a group of autonomous national foundations around the world. OSI and the network implement a range of initiatives that aim to promote open societies by shaping national and international policies with knowledge and expertise. The OSI provides an excellent case study of the strategies of transnational activism of private philanthropy. It is an institutional mechanism for the international diffusion of expertise and 'best practices' to post communist countries and other democratizing nations. This paper avoids assumptions that civil society is an entirely separate and distinguishable domain from states and emergent forms of transnational authority. Focusing on the 'soft' ideational and normative policy transfer undermines notions of clear cut boundaries between an independent philanthropic body in civil society and highlights the intermeshing and mutual engagement that comes with networks, coalitions, joint funding, partnerships and common policy dialogues.

Saturday: Aaron Paul and Lauren Parsekian
Airport goodbyes can be the worst, especially when you're a celebrity with the uncanny ability of attracting herds of paparazzi. Aaron Paul found this out the hard way when he had to part ways with wife Lauren Parsekian at the Los Angeles International Airport. He wasn't happy to be in the photographer spotlight, but Parsekian didn't mind. She kept sweetly interrupting Paul's packing to give him more hugs. Basically, they're the cutest.

A win over United Sports Club can ensure that the Red and Gold finish second for the third time in four years...East Bengal need three points from their last fixture of the I-League season 2013-14 to finish as runners up as they take on United Sports Club on Monday. It must be noted that they have finished as runners-up on two occasions in the last three seasons.
"We tried our best but it was not enough. Now we want to end the season on a high and seal the runners-up berth," East Bengal coach Armando Colaco commented after Bengaluru FC were crowned champions.
"Probably, I'll stay," the Goan added when quizzed about his coaching stint with the Kolkata outfit.
The Red and Gold will look to end the season on a high where despite having the best squad on paper, they fell short when it mattered. Inconsistent results coupled with questions on the style they have to adapt never helped in their quest for title.
They would have to sit back and ponder as to what went wrong once again as they haven't been able to win the I-League as yet. Arnab Mondal suggested that too many personnel changes didn't aid as the first team never really settled into the groove.
On the other hand, United Sports Club will hope that they pick up three points following their fantastic performance against Churchill Brothers last weekend.
A win on home soil would boost their confidence further as the club managements hopes to seek sponsors for the next season.
Eric Brown has been the star performer for The Purple Brigade as he is their creator-in-chief and has led from the front since the departure of Ranti Martins and CK Vineeth in January.

I haven't written a post on here for an absurdly long time. I think that's because everything was sort of just going quite well, and my tics had been really on the down low for ages. Quite frankly, there were no incidents to spark the inspiration for a post.
Now the fact that I am here again shows that nothing lasts forever, and my tics for the last week have been worse than I ever remember them being, even before I was on tablets! Quite annoyingly this happened as I was talking to some friends and said, "Yeah, my tics have been really quiet recently. It's great!"
Tourette's clearly didn't want to be forgotten about, so two days later in a (tutor-less) drama tutorial I was twitching badly, hitting myself in the throat and saying my new constant vocal tic: "Achoo!". But then, out of nowhere, I dropped the f-bomb. I didn't know what to do. My group giggled, and I did initially because it was odd, and I don't have coprolalia but this incident begged to differ.
Later on our tutor actually came to try and offer us some guidance, and I was still ticcing away, not subtly punching myself in the neck or face, and again accidentally swore. My tutor then just said "Language!" in a condescending, exasperated tone. And that was that.
I left the tutorial (luckily I had been leading them outside where I drama group wanted our performance to start with another girl, so she stayed and I ran away) and was left as a mess if tears wondering what on earth I was going to do.
Luckily for me, the small group I am working with for drama are absolutely lovely and gave me hugs and made sure I was OK (one even went with me to sit in a toilet while I calmed down), and they all seemed completely baffled that a tutor that I have had for over a year could even consider saying that to me.

I'm working on customizing the default TinyMCE install that comes with WordPress 2.x (in point of fact, I'm working on it in WordPress MU, but the internals are the same).
I'm trying to figure out why I can't use the "class" attribute of anything in the html editor.
As an example, let's take an img tag. I want the user to be able to add a class attribute to a tag in the html editor, but everytime I do so it's stripped out.
I've looked in tiny_mce_gzip.php and modified the $vald_elements string, which is where WP is setting the list of valid elements for the tinyMCE_init() procedure call. When I remove an attribute from the list of available attributes for the img element it also gets stripped, so I know this part of it is working, but what's confusing is that the class attribute is already in the valid element list, and it still get stripped. What's more, if I add a class to an a tag it's kept.
The bit that's allowing the anchor class:
The bit that (should be) allowing the img class:
Don't know if it's relevant, but I can see the class in the path-bar under the TineMCE edit box, for both img and a tags. The stripping happens at save, and after that I can't see the class in the path-bar or in the html.
Has anyone else successfully applied classes to images? Is there another valid_elements filter I'm missing?

I can not open Youtube. Because of government restriction. So when I open minitube, I can not search or watch any video. I used tor and tsocks to open minitube, then I can search by minitube; But whenever I click on any video, It does not show it! How can I find and resolve the problem?
Minitube has a bug which leads to no video output. A workaround is to install
However the deeper reason is a bug in gstreamer. It seems this was resolved. So the bug fix should slowly moving into Ubuntu.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2000
Running Time: 105
Director: Caesar Rinaldi
Company: Hot Chixx Inc.
Cast: Teddy Barrett, Christgen Wolf
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Smart-looking feature and very well done as a two-person playlette. Kind has that off-Broadway bondage feel to it.
In what's essentially a restraint video earmarked by a dramatic use of light and shadow, Teddy Barrett concedes to Christgen Wolf that Wolf might think her nuts, but that a certain chair gives off weird, erotic images. It turns out to be a barber's chair, and while members of Mötley Crüe might have had similar impressions when introduced to one, Barrett's are the tits that look like bound-up grapefruit when she gets tied up and secured to one.
Teddy's tanned ass also submits to a ritualistic but casual flogging, followed by Christgen, who gets her turn in the chair; whereupon Barrett sucks her tittage, plunks a dildo in her and goes to town with the reinforcing gesture of tongue-clitoral stimulation. More to come in a promised Part 2.

They're gonna be out for blood. They wanna win. Langer is trying to make up grand with Kenny Perry for the Charles Schwab Cup. Lehman is looking for his first win.

I get Lehman and Langer to [unk]. -Yeah. -John Riegger began the final round of the Boeing Classic with a 3-shot lead but Lanny, not many people gave Riegger much of a chance considering his credentials weren't nearly as strong as the two guys he was playing alongside, Bernhard Langer and Tom Lehman . -No, they weren't. I mean, one hall of famer and other guy that's been the two-time Charles Schwab Cup champion.

Yes, he drives it well. If he continues to putt well, then there's no reason the rest of his game won't fit in very nicely. -John Riegger, he's now a champion on the Champions Tour .

AMD/ATI Publishes GPU Documentation
ATI has released the complete 3D register reference guide for Radeon 6XX/7XX chips, greatly simplifying the work of the open source Radeon HD driver project
According to an announcement by AMD's Alexander Deucher on the xorg mailing list yesterday, AMD/ATI has followed up their promise of support for open source drivers and accordingly released the 3D documentation.
The information should lead to improvements in the stability and function range of free Radeon drivers. Whether documentation regarding special CPU features such as the parallel operation of Crossfire Hybrid and Puma Platform, or PowerXpress, (which switches from the powerful GPU to the energy saving chipset graphic when mobile), will also be released is still unclear.
Although video acceleration and improved graphic chips are already included in the partly proprietary ATI fglrx driver, patches for the popular Linux media player projects Xine, Mplayer or VideoLAN Client, necessary to take advantage of the acceleration, are as yet unavailable.

Boehner: Cuts Must Come Now
WASHINGTON—The Republican-led House on Thursday neared approval of legislation making unprecedented federal budget cuts, and House Speaker John Boehner hardened his party's demand that the Senate and White House agree to at least some spending reductions immediately.
The House bill would cut more than $61 billion in spending for the remaining seven months of the fiscal year, a level that is sure to draw resistance in the Democratic-led Senate. Because the government is currently funded under a short-term measure that expires March 4, the House and Senate must come to agreement before then or else pass another short-term measure.
But Mr. Boehner said for the first time Thursday that he would block any measure if it maintained current spending levels. "When we say we're going to cut spending, read my lips—we're going to cut spending," he said.
Democrats characterized Mr. Boehner's statement as an ultimatum that could lead to a government shutdown. Any short-term extension, they argued, should be at current levels while Republicans and Democrats negotiate on deeper cuts for the remainder of the year.
"Shutting down the government would be on his head, and that would be a huge mistake," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D., N.D.).
Democrats also complained that House Republicans had attached provisions to the bill that changed policy rather than simply cut spending. "That bypasses the whole process," said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) "This is a budget-cut bill, and we ought to be talking about the budget."
Among the policy changes proposed during Thursday's debate was an amendment targeting the Federal Communications Commission's "net neutrality" rules that would bar broadband providers from deliberately slowing or blocking Internet sites and services.
Republicans have complained the regulations were unnecessary and said the Obama administration was trying to regulate the Internet. "There is no net-neutrality crisis," Rep Tom Graves (R., Ga.), who co-sponsored an amendment to prevent the FCC from implementing its new rules.
Democratic lawmakers defended the FCC and said the rules were needed to protect consumers and prevent large phone and cable companies from having too much control over the Internet. "I would not fool around with an open, accessible Internet," said Rep. Anna Eshoo (D., Calif.), who called the amendment "a big mistake."
The amendment enjoyed overwhelming Republican support and was expected to come to a vote Thursday evening.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday criticized the bill's proposed reductions in her department and to other sources of foreign aid.
"The 16% cut for State and USAID in that bill would for example force us to scale back dramatically on our missions in the front-line states of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan," Ms. Clinton said after a meeting with senators on Capitol Hill.
Those and other conservative-backed provisions aren't expected to survive when the bill goes to the Senate, where Democrats have made clear they favor keeping spending on discretionary programs at current levels for the remainder of 2011.
Some lawmakers suggest the $61 billion gap between the House and Senate is so big that they may be unable to reach a compromise. Rep. Rob Andrews of New Jersey, a Democrat close to his party's House leadership, predicted that the result of such a deadlock would be a series of short-term funding bills. But Mr. Boehner's comments indicated that House Republicans were unlikely to accept a stopgap approach if it didn't cut spending by a significant amount.
Although the overall tenor of the House's spending debate was partisan, votes on the dozens of amendments illustrated a shifting array of bipartisan coalitions over how deeply to cut.
In some cases, proposals by the GOP's conservative wing were defeated by a coalition of Democrats and less-conservative Republicans. An amendment to wipe out funding for the National Labor Relations Board, was rejected 250-176, with 60 Republicans joining 190 Democrats in opposition.
On Wednesday, a bipartisan coalition rallied behind an amendment to move $300 million from NASA to a community policing program, which was approved 228-203.
Rep. Anthony Weiner, the New York Democrat who introduced the amendment called it a "bipartisan rebuke of the GOP budget plan."
"We all agree that we need to reduce the deficit, but we need to get our priorities straight," he said.

- Niccolò Machiavelli - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1469-1527).The term Machiavellian refers to someone who is unscrupulous, cunning, cynical, and unprincipled. The adjective would have dismayed Niccolo Machiavelli, from whose name it is derived. He was one of the brightest lights of the Italian Renaissance, a writer of powerful, influential, and thoughtful prose who was devoted to truth and to the freedom of Florence, the city he loved. He has been so misunderstood because the motives and language of his chief works-The Prince and Discourses on Livy, both published in 1513-have been seriously misinterpreted. Machiavelli had a tragic sense of human wickedness and despaired of seeing virtue triumph. This pessimism often led him to express himself more bluntly than he might otherwise have done. He was, above all, a realist when it came to understanding human nature. His reflections on mankind and its past made him a founder of the philosophy of history.

Duke's Mayonnaise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duke's Mayonnaise is a condiment created by Mrs. Eugenia Duke at Duke's sandwich shop of Greenville, South Carolina, in 1917.[1][2] While it is the third-largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellman's and Kraft), its popularity is largely limited to the south.[3] It is used in regional favorites such as tomato sandwiches, cole slaw, and potato salad. Duke's Mayonnaise contains more egg yolks than other mayonnaise products and no added sugar, giving it a tangy flavor.
C.F. Sauer Company purchased the Duke's Products in 1929.
Ingredients list[edit]
Soybean oil, eggs, water, distilled and cider vinegar, salt, oleoresin paprika, natural flavors, calcium disodium EDTA added to protect flavor.[4]

He's a self-proclaimed "movie buff" and loves the outdoors, but a 12-year-old boy named Davien who's in foster care is searching for a forever family.
When you go see an IMAX Movie, it's all about the IMAX experience. But on this day, Davien, who calls himself a movie buff got an experience most don't get. We took a special trip to the Premier IMAX Theater in Bryan and learned everything there is to know about the special cameras that customize and deliver the movies that make you feel like you're part of the action.
After our tour we ordered some sweets and popcorn and got comfy for our showing of "Frozen." When he's not watching movies, 12-year-old Davien says he loves being outside and playing sports. He especially loves playing...
"I like to play football, soccer and basketball," Davien said.
In fact he says when he grows up he wants to be a, "football player." But one thing that Davien wants most is a forever family. He says the perfect mother it would be: "a good cooker," Davien said.
And he would love a father who will play sports with him. He's been in foster care for several years and says, "I want a big family."
A big family who will support him and show him what it's like to always stick together.

John McClaren by arterieWatch
©2002-2016 arterie
Found another photo I snapped of a pastel drawing done around the same time as "Don Quixote".... "John McClaren" was an early Golden Gate Park landscape architect in charge of the entire park, he hated all the bronze statues there, especially the large pedestals they were perched on. When he passed on, a bronze likeness was made of him with feet planted firmly in the ground surrounded by ancient fern and near the entrance to the rhododendron dell.

I love this!! Great use of media
Fav in a heartbeat! I love your pastels! The colors and seperations are so beautiful and solid! Very expressive strokes in this one as well!
I love these pastel works of yours. The colors in the bronze figure are really nice and capture the look of bronze well. This one looks like its new, pretty shiny. I really like the detail of the face, a lot of color and the look of folds are captured well. And once again the background was not half-assed. Its just as good as the figure with detail in the fern leaves and a terrific sense of movement in the sky area. Terrific work.

OTTAWA - A carefully cultivated military relationship with Brazil could be damaged by the unfolding spy drama involving Canada's super-secret eavesdropping agency, defence and diplomacy experts say.
Since late spring, a platoon of Canadian soldiers has been embedded with a Brazilian army unit as part of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
The deployment is slated to run until Christmas, but the entire exercise has been considered an important bridge-building effort with South America's biggest military power.
The Conservative government attempted to contain the damage Tuesday. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he is "very concerned" and that Canadian officials are "reaching out very proactively" to their counterparts in Brazil.
But experts say the relationship of trust built up by the joint mission and over the last few years by the country's top military commanders has been badly damaged.
The government in Sao Paulo actually sought out Canadian participation in the Haiti operation because of the country's reputation as a peacekeeper, said Walter Dorn, a professor at the Canadian Forces Staff College in Toronto.
"This scandal will cause Brazil to have second thoughts about Canada as a reliable partner," said Dorn, an authority in peacekeeping operations.
The Communications Security Establishment of Canada controversy could be especially problematic, considering the apparent targets, said Jean Daudelin, an associate professor at Carleton University's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
He said "mistrust will pervade the relationship" not only because Brazil's mining minister was tracked, but also because the electronic spy agency was tapping the phone of Paulo Cordeiro, a top diplomat who was Brazil's ambassador to Canada and also served in Haiti.
Cordeiro was seen as "a good a friend of Canada," said Daudelin. "Lots of things to patch up and, unlike in the case of the United States, no good reason on either side to invest much in doing so."
An impact will definitely be felt on the trade front, said Dorn.
Asked about the unfolding controversy on Monday, Defence Minister Rob Nicholson said he doesn't believe military relations — in particular the Haiti mission — will suffer because of the allegations.
"I believe our collaboration and friendship will continue on all aspects," he said.
The mission is "part of a wide range of activities that we have with Brazil and I have every confidence that will continue."
If anything, the quarrel means any notion of extending the partnership in Haiti has been put on ice, said Dorn.
But the officer in charge of Canada's overseas deployments said no extension has been contemplated, and while it was a useful exercise, the three dozen troops — members of the Royal 22e Regiment — will be home by Christmas.
In an interview just before the spying allegations surfaced, Lt.-Gen. Stuart Beare said the mission "has been going incredibly well from the Brazilian perspective" and from the United Nations point of view.
The Canadians are embedded with Brazil's 44th Motorized Infantry battalion and have been conducting patrols on the impoverished, earthquake-ravaged island.
The idea of teaming up with Brazil, the largest contributor to the UN stabilization mission in Haiti, floated around National Defence headquarters for two years and was pitched as a way to increase bilateral ties with the emerging economic power.
Beare said the Canadians have learned a lot, but he acknowledged it was time-consuming to manage such a tiny mission.
"The motivation to be there wasn't limited to a contribution to (the UN mission). It was to partner up with a military partner in the hemisphere and there's other ways to partner ... beyond contributing troops to a United Nations mission," Beare told The Canadian Press.
"Will it become a norm? No. Will it be an option (in the future)? It's always an option."
There are roughly 8,800 international troops in Haiti and an additional 1,200 police officers conducting training under the United Nations flag.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version had an incorrect pronoun for Jean Daudelin.

The Alienware Aurora ALX is a gaming PC with plenty of speed, flair and attitude. But it's the sort of system that polarises people.
Some will love the Alienware Aurora ALX's audacious design and extravagance - such as automatically opening air vents - others will mutter that the machine would be a lot cheaper if it had a more basic case. The fact is, though, the Aurora ALX is designed to appeal to a certain type of gamer - a gamer who wants a machine that looks as aggressive and willing to kill as the characters in their first person shooters. To this end, we think it delivers.
Alienware Aurora ALX: System design
While the moulded plastic that clings to the metal case gives the Alienware Aurora ALX gaming PC its alien-like appearance, the inside is also far from normal. In fact, the inside of the case shows just how much thought has gone into the design of the system.
What we like most is the construction of the drive bays: they face outward and are tool- and cable-less. The mounting points for the SATA data and power interfaces are secured inside the bays, and all you have to do if you want to add another hard drive to the Alienware Aurora ALX is slide it in and make sure it clicks into place.
It's a very neat system and it means there are no hanging cables to be seen anywhere. The only way the drive bays could be made better is if they were hot-swappable. As it stands, you have to switch off the Alienware Aurora ALX in order to perform upgrades.
We like the outward-facing drive bays in the Alienware Aurora ALX. They're tool-less and cable-less.
Another thing that's obvious when you look inside the machine is the small motherboard. While the Alienware Aurora ALX is a very powerful system, it has a micro-ATX motherboard. This has two full-sized graphics slots that can accommodate an ATI CrossFire configuration for up to four GPUs, but it doesn't give you a chance to insert any other expansion cards, such as a sound card or digital TV tuner. Luckily the ALX has eight USB 2.0 ports that can be used to add other components.
Ordinarily a micro-ATX motherboard would allow a manufacturer to create a PC with short stature. While the Alienware Aurora ALX isn't as big as it would be if it had an ATX motherboard installed, it's still a big PC. It will require a lot of desk space or floor area.
The Alienware Aurora ALX's CPU is liquid-cooled via a reservoir that's mounted at the rear near the air vents at the top of the case. Unfortunately, the graphics cards are not cooled with liquid, so you'll still hear their fans roar into action once you load up your games.
A shroud sits in front of the Alienware Aurora ALX's graphics cards to make sure that air moves efficiently through the rear of the system. The vents at the top of the case are perhaps the funkiest feature of the Aurora ALX: they open automatically when the CPU reaches a certain predetermined temperature.
It's quite cool to see the vents open and close by themselves as you use the system. If you place the Alienware Aurora ALX on the floor, you'll have to remember not to rest anything on it.

Business IT reviews and advice
The Alienware Aurora ALX is a gaming PC with plenty of speed, flair and attitude. But it's the sort of system that polarises people.
Alienware Aurora ALX: lighting
Lighting is another big part of the Alienware Aurora ALX: the system has lights pretty much everywhere. The most impressive are the ones on the side panels, which illuminate the alien-like pattern on the plastic. The left side panel opens up easily once you lift the rear-most vent to unlock it, and an impressive aspect of its design is that cables haven't been used to supply power to the panel's lights.
Instead, the Alienware Aurora ALX uses contacts that are mounted on the power supply at the bottom of the system. A drawback of this design is that if you constantly take off and replace the side panel, it could end up slightly out of shape. This means that the connection to the lights might not be made cleanly.
The Alienware Aurora ALX has no shortage of lights. We'd like an option for a clear side panel, because the inside of the case is definitely interesting to look at.
Other little things that stand out in the Alienware Aurora ALX's case include a drop-down door that reveals the optical drive once you press on the little alien head; there are also backwards-facing USB 2.0 and audio ports at the top of the case. This is supposed to minimise the chance of cables falling in the way of the optical drive, but we think the ports are somewhat awkward to access on a regular basis.
The USB ports at the top of the case face backwards and can be a little awkward to use on a regular basis. This shot also clearly shows the vents that automatically open when the CPU reaches its predefined threshold temperature.

Business IT reviews and advice
The Alienware Aurora ALX is a gaming PC with plenty of speed, flair and attitude. But it's the sort of system that polarises people.
Alienware Aurora ALX: specs and speed
Powering the Alienware Aurora ALX is an Intel Core i7 920 CPU that runs at 2.67GHz and features automatic overclocking to 2.93GHz. The CPU runs at 2.67GHz until a program that requires the full power of the CPU is launched, at which point the speed bumps up automatically. Seeing as the Aurora ALX is liquid cooled, we would have liked to have seen some more speed from this CPU; perhaps up to 3.2GHz.
More than its speed, though, the Core i7 920 is about parallel processing. It's a quad-core CPU with Hyper-Threading, which allows it to process up to eight threads at once. The machine also comes with 9GB of DDR3 SDRAM, dual 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards, which are set up in a CrossFire configuration, and a 1TB, 7200rpm hard drive. The price is nothing to scoff at, but you will get a machine that will serve you well for many years.
Currently, it's one of the fastest PCs you can get not only for gaming, but also for image and video editing (although you might want to add some more hard drives for assets). It's a lot faster than the first Core i7 920-based system that we reviewed almost a year ago, Acer's Aspire M7720.
Business IT reviews and advice
In our WorldBench 6 benchmark, which runs everyday office and media encoding applications, it recorded a score of 127, which is only slightly faster than a system with a Core i5 750 CPU. However, you can really see the difference in performance when all eight of the virtual cores are in action: in Blender 3D, it recorded a time of 29sec, and this is one of the fastest times we've seen in this benchmark.
Only the Intel Core i7 965 has completed the Blender test quicker (24sec). The system's hard drive performance is also very good, recording a transfer speed of 54 megabytes per second in our tests; this is about 20MBps faster than a typical Core i5-based machine.
The gaming prowess of the Alienware Aurora ALX is evident in its 3DMark06 score of 18,809. It ran Crysis: Warhead and Far Cry 2 easily at 1920x1080 with anti-aliasing enabled. It recorded well over 50 frames per second in these games during our tests. Indeed, it won't struggle when you run any of the latest titles, and you'll be able to turn the image quality way up.
Alienware Aurora ALX: Customisation
A control centre application lets you to change the colours of the PC's case and keyboard lights. Furthermore, the action of the vents can be changed: they either open automatically or can stay open permanently. The keyboard also features a glut of dedicated gaming keys along the left side and the top-left. You can use them to select weapons and other items during a game. The keys are illuminated and easy to see in the dark, so you don't have to play with the lights on.
The Alienware Aurora ALX keyboard takes up two USB 2.0 ports and lights up so you can easily hit keys in the dark.
NEXT: our expert verdict >>

There's no doubt that the Alienware Aurora ALX is fast and can handle any game you throw at it. It's also powerful enough to be used for other pursuits, such as video and image editing, as well as 3D rendering. But the thing that is likely to draw you in or push you away from this machine is its design, even more so than its massive price tag. We like its design, especially on the inside, and think that the external moulding is suitable for people who want a gaming machine that looks the part. Put simply, this is a niche PC that's very powerful but won't appeal to everyone — not even all gamers. Those of you who do like the way it looks will end up with a PC that should keep pace with gaming developments for at least a handful of years.

Contracts awarded in July for future construction in San Diego County grew by 2 percent from a year earlier, according to data released recently by McGraw Hill Construction.
In July, San Diego County had a total of $319.732 million in future building contracts, compared to $314.796 in July 2013. Nonresidential building contracts accounted for $266.668 million of the total, while $53.064 million in residential work was awarded.
That split reveals a continuing trend in recent months of growth in nonresidential building with a simultaneous but smaller decline in residential, resulting in net growth in a combined analysis. In July of last year, $84.870 million in nonresidential contracts and $229.926 million in residential contracts were awarded.
In June, McGraw Hill reported a 20 percent increase for the month over 2013 in nonresidential contracts awarded, while the area experienced an 8 percent decline on the residential side. May's numbers showed that contracts awarded during that month were valued at 14.4 times what was awarded in May 2013, and that the value of residential building contracts awarded in the month declined by 45 percent from 2013 to 2014. Both subsets experienced sharp declines in April.
Borre Winckel, CEO of the Building Industry Association of San Diego, said that while the year has shown some volatility in building permits when looking at either nonresidential or residential contracts, 2014 is looking more similar to than different from 2013 as a whole.
"I think the numbers are too small to really read the tea leaves to say we're having a different year this year from last year," Winckel said. "I would say that we're having a very similar year. And it's not good enough of a year."
The number of building permits issued this year is also trending similar to what was seen last year, he added, at about 8,000 total permits issued. The city of San Diego, he said, remains the unquestionable leader in multifamily apartment construction permits, which is no change from a year ago. Two cities Winckel said are trending higher this year than before in multifamily building are Chula Vista and the city of Vista.
"Vista alone accounts for about 21 percent of all the permits issued in the county, because they had a couple of very large apartment projects permitted," Winckel said. "Of course it takes just a building of 100 or 200 units for these numbers to balloon. Now for proper context, the region would do really well economically if it could get back to a 10,000-a-year permit total. It's (been) tough to gain those numbers since 2006."
So far, there have been $2.299 billion in nonresidential and $640.135 million in future construction contracts awarded, through seven months of 2014. This compares to $988.069 million for nonresidential and $1.075 billion for residential, through the first seven months of 2013.
Nonresidential buildings include office, retail, hotel, warehouse, manufacturing, educational, health care, religious, government, recreational and other buildings outside of single family homes and multifamily housing.

Here's Nicki Minaj flipping out on Mariah Carey, and apparently Randy Jackson, too, during an audition taping for American Idol while Keith Urban just sits there in the middle thinking, "Well, at least no one's touching me with their plastic face. Their dead plastic face…" TMZ reports:
Figured that was the easiest way to start this post.
In the past 12 hours huge shake-ups have occurred on American Idol in case you hadn't noticed from all the screaming and gnashing of teeth everywhere you turn. Ellen DeGeneres quit and now Kara DioGuardi has been fired to make way for an…

House cleaning………….Yes, I do enjoy it!
September 14th, 2015 by Jen under Household. No Comments.
My friend and my daughters have a hard time believing that I love to clean. No I'm not insane (well, maybe a little bit, but it's a good kind of insanity so I roll with it)!
My day usually starts at 7:00 AM, yes even though I home school, even on the weekends (sometimes my brain lets me sleep til 8:30) and holidays. My cats think the day starts at 5:45 AM so I count myself fortunate when I can sleep "in".
The house is not spotless, there are some dusty spots around the vents in the kitchen, one or two ceiling fans may have a little dust and I might not clean my bathroom everyday, but for the most part a cursory inspection upon entering the home is that it's clean.
I start the day by getting dressed and getting my meds. When I leave the bedroom I take at least one cat, the laundry and any other random object back to the kitchen. Cleaning the bedroom waits til later in the morning, after my husband wakes up, he's a night owl.
I go through the living, dining room and kitchen gathering anything out of place: cups, coke cans, bowls, shoes, socks……I did mention my husband the night owl right?
I feed the cats, open the outside garage door (for the cats), move laundry, get a coke (I don't drink coffee), try to pull out meat for supper, clean up the cat litter, text a Good Morning to my best friend at the top of the state, open the curtains, exercise if I have time and possibly empty the dish drainer (my daughter's job so I try to leave it alone). After all these things are done a good 45 minutes to an hour have gone by. I then sit down to eat, check/clean out my email, pull home school materials (even in the summer) and fold the laundry if there was anything in the dryer.
Usually by the time the family is up the house is back in order, the laundry is waiting to be put away (or at least ready to fold).
I don't have a magic wand, I don't stay up all night, I don't do Just One Load of Laundry a Day, I just have a habit from my mother, which was passed on by my German grandfather to get up and get busy!
