If I create a layer - with my own drawn blocks - and then create a new layer, and move two of the blocks (using attributes layer change) to the new layer.
The two objects disappear, when I hide the new layer. But if I unhide the new layer - and hide the original layer - they also disappear, with the rest of the objects
It seems the new layer has become a sub-layer of the original.
How do I avoid this?
p.s. If I mark a new layer, and redraw the blocks lines (using 2point lines) - the new item is on the new layer AND isn't removed when I hide the original layer (probably because it never had an original layer - it's new line-entities).
So it's when change attributes of a block-element this happens. Changing attributes on line-entities works fine.

WHAT: Tripbirds.com is a search engine for the social media-obsessed. It sorts hotels according to where your friends have stayed, which hotel has the most "likes" (as on Facebook) or Instagrams (as in photos shared on Instagram) -- and, yes, price and star ratings.
HITS: I love that when I search for hotels in New York or San Francisco, Tripbirds tells me which of my Facebook friends have stayed there (and -- scary -- when they visited). It even dares to suggest that I ask them what they thought of their stay. If I want it to, a Facebook message bar pops up with the hotel's info and photo attached.
MISSES: City searches are inconsistent. I found decent results when I tried San Diego, but there weren't options for hotels in the beach cities north of downtown. When I tried "Atlanta, GA," it said no cities matched my search. I tried again by typing just "Atlanta," and that worked better. "Barcelona, Spain," produced more than 700 hotels, but only eight in "Portland, United States (Oregon)." Note: Reservations are made through Booking.com.

Well this did not get answered before I purchased Qcad Pro so I am asking here again.
Currently it appears that angles are measured counter clockwise with 0 degrees being horizontal to the "east". In Australia surveyors and civil engineers use angles (0-360degrees) measured clockwise from 0 degrees up ("north"). Is there a way to change the way angles are measured? Note that we haven't used Surveyors unites (N36E) for a long time.
Is it possible to change the direction of angle measurement ? If it isn't could this please be added to the feature request list?
Thanks for your tolerance

Singapore Eases Death Penalty for Drugs
Singapore's lawmakers have passed legal reforms aimed at easing the city-state's long-standing mandatory death penalty for drug trafficking, a policy often criticized by human rights groups for being indiscriminate.
The changes, according to Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Teo Chee Hean, are not a reversal of the country's ""zero tolerance" stance on drugs" but are designed to make "measured and carefully defined exceptions" on the mandatory death penalty, once compulsory for anyone convinced of trafficking drugs above specified volumes.
New regulations now allow courts to impose life imprisonment on some people convicted of these crimes – provided the person is "only a drug courier" and either has a mental disability or provides "substantive cooperation" to the authorities.
The bill did not elaborate on how it would distinguish a courier from a distributer, though it added that the person "must not have been involved in any other activity related to the supply or distribution of drugs."
Importantly, current inmates can apply to be re-sentenced – possibly sparing the lives of some of the 30 individuals on death row.
Singapore's increasingly politicized civil society has been vociferous about scrapping the punishment for years now and have pushed for the abolishment of the death penalty altogether.
Singapore's use of the death penalty, particularly in controlling the spread of narcotics, was inherited from the city-state's time as a British colony. Several foreign nationals were sentenced to death over the years by hanging despite clemency pleas from their governments.
Since 2009, nine people have been executed in the city-state, according to official prison statistics.
Separately, mandatory death sentences for murder cases have been revised, allowing judges the discretion to impose life imprisonment on a person found guilty of murder if the individual was found "not to have intended to cause death," according to the Attorney-General's Chambers.
The body – which oversees criminal prosecutions in Singapore – said it will meet with lawyers representing the 34 individuals currently on death row, according to a statement Wednesday, to discuss how their clients' cases will be affected by the changes.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Mr. Teo said that the new bill makes Singapore's regime on drugs "tougher against repeat offenders, introduces new offences especially against those who target the young and vulnerable, and enhance the effectiveness of the death penalty regime."
Lawmakers defended maintaining the death penalty for most criminals accused of trafficking or murder, saying it has been effective in deterring and curbing crime.
Cases of kidnapping and murder remain rare in the city-state – attractive to many expatriates for its safe living environment – and there have been no firearms offences since 2007, according to government statistics.
International campaign groups like Amnesty International continue to push the city-state to abolish the death penalty completely, and while the group praised the changes when the government first announced them in July, maintained that the punishment is "cruel, inhuman and degrading".

Like mother, like daughter, that's Kathy Holmes and Gabriel "Gabe" Tamaska, both formerly of the Kingdom of Breckenridge.
They're both into saving the environment.
Mom is down near Corpus Christi, Texas, helping sea turtles, while daughter was involved in raptor rescue and recently relocated to Glenwood Springs, where husband Ed Chusid landed a job in administration with Colorado Mountain College.
Gabe and Ed are graduates of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor - she has bachelor's in wildlife biology and management, and Ed has BA in history and he worked as the assistant to the UMich events director, followed by earning a master's in history from Eastern Michigan.
Soon, Gabe will be teaching in the children's ski school at Sunlight. The couple will visit Kathy in Corpus Christi over the holidays.
"Gabe had always wanted to return to the mountains, after leaving Breckenridge, Blue River and Summit County for UMich," mother Kathy says. "The scholarships she received those 13 years ago from the Summit Foundation, the Town of Breckenridge and UMich Alumni Association of Denver certainly helped defray some of the costs of that very expensive public university."
Gabe graduated from Summit High in 1999, along with schoolmate Lindsay Mauch, who was her matron of honor five years ago in Steamboat Springs.
"As a mother, it makes my heart happy to see her return. The mountains are in her blood and I am sure Colorado will be the beneficiary of their education and talents," mom adds.
Gabe recently finished an internship with Rocky Mountain Raptor Rescue in the Fort Collins area, performing injections on ailing birds, giving tours and released a screech owl. She also recently earned her parasailing wings while at a specialized training school in Georgia.
"Yes, I am a proud mama," says Kathy. "Ah, Summit County babies know how to get the most out of life."
Now, here's mom's story:
"I am retired and enjoying volunteer work with the Kemp's ridley sea turtle project, where I have taken certification classes and I'm on the Padre Island National Seashore's list of turtle-handlers (required to handle an endangered species) and have been certified by the Department of the Interior to drive ATVs on the beach, which I do during nesting season," Kathy reports.
Some of these trips are wild and woolly because the Kemp's ridley sea turtles are diurnal (daily) nesters and like blustery, high wave action days, she explains.
"It is so rewarding to have been lucky enough to find a nest with 108 eggs in it. We are hoping that no green sea turtles will be cold-stunned this winter, which happens when water temps in our bays and along the Gulf of Mexico drop to the mid-50s. I have completed that training as well and am ready to go when called for an emergency response."
"You may have heard about 'Flip,' the cold-stunned Kemp's ridley who turned up in the Netherlands. He was one of those hatchlings from our program, and yes, he is doing just fine. We are tracking him via satellite, which can be seen at seaturtle.org," Kathy explains.
"We also help release the turtles," notes Kathy. "I am on 'Shoo, go away you pesky seagulls' duty here. Releases are at 6:30 a.m., and are well-attended by the public."
It was 42 years ago this month the Kemp's ridley sea turtle was designated as endangered.
Spotted out and about "Winter Walk-ing" in Frisco were Campy Campton, Sara Kent, BJ McCarthy, Kouri Wolf, Don and Maggie Dew, Janet and Butch Elich, Steve and Laura Rossetter, Cathy Cunningham, Nick Pollard, Lisa Lawson, Jay and Brenda Herman, Kathy Lisherness, Brenda and Rob Hughey, Steve and Sandee Smith, Jim Deines and Linda Simon, Jeanne and Greg Brown, Matt and Nancy Wyatt, Linda Axelrod, Bobby Kato, Jodie Boyd, Emily Baumgartner, Sandy Schmaderer, Heather Jarkski, Patti and Eddie Bowers, Colleen Richmond, Todd and Tracy Powell, Phil and Janelle Kopp, Mark Zeigler, Janet Carter, Carol Rickauer, Alicia Dunn, Marsha and Bruce Youngdahl, Dorta and Jim McNaul, Laurie and Gary Cushner, Sandy Sheffield, Kathleen Kennedy and Jon Kirkpatrick and Pam Murano.
Miles F. Porter IV, nicknamed "Spike," a Coloradan since 1949, is an Army veteran, former Climax miner, graduate of Adams State College and a local since 1982. An award-winning investigative reporter, he and wife Mary E. Staby owned newspapers here for 20 years.

As the violence between Israel and Palestine headed into its fifth day last night, owner of various awful news properties Rupert Murdoch asked a very thought-provoking and interesting question about the media's coverage of the conflict.
You know, just something to get your brain churning as you slipped into bed.
The way that the American press covers issues between Israel and other countries in the Middle East is a discussion that's always bubbling under the surface of the Israel-Palestine conflict, but this Tweet probably isn't the question that's going to get that conversation started on a wider level.
Powerful, old cranks: Get off Twitter! You have plenty of gilded rooms where nobody can hear you say dumb things.

The Runaway Jim extends nicely and the audience tape I listened to reveals Perazzo pushing thejam. Another excellent 1996 Theme, during an era when it was a setlist stalwart. But it's the second set that really brings the funk.
Timber sets the percussive pace followed by a perfectly clean version of Divided Sky. The Tweezer is "exceptionally funky" as Mr. Dirksen once put it, with a percussive breakdown and a lot of Page. Simply outstanding, and one of the great versions of the year.
The China Cat tease that occcurs right before they kick into the Possum is quietly played, but very distinctive and great to hear.
Tune in for the Tweezer, it's worth the ticket.

This boat features the optional teak decking and the dual voltage cockpit refrigerator.
Comfortable U-shaped seating in the cockpit will seat up to 7 people. A table mounts on a pedestal for lunches or hors d'oeuvres, and that table naturally lowers to form a sunpad. There is no storage under the seats, as this is a tradeoff for having the after seats being able to slide fore and aft. I found this feature a little difficult to perform, having to remove a seat insert and backrest cushion to do so. It left me having to store the two sections I removed and I saw little benefit to compressing the seats. Others, though, may love having a more intimate gathering area while adding to the swim platform space. An extremely comfortable lumbar support runs all the way around the seats. For sun protection, there is a hard top with a Bimini aft that easily closes to allow the sunpad occupants to roast in comfort.
Over to port is a sink with a removable cooler just below. I've always been a fan of having a cooler rather than a dual voltage refrigerator. You just can't carry the fridge into your kitchen and load it up. Abaft the sink is a wastebasket that is recessed into the side bulkhead. Overhead, the radar arch is hinged to collapse and give you just a bit more bridge clearance.
Helm Layout
The helm seat is double wide allowing for a second set of eyes looking forward. Both the captain's and observer's sections are fitted with a flip up bolster. This area also makes for a nice conversational spot when combined with the occupants of the lounger off to port.
Doral did things a little differently with the Venezia helm. It's a three tiered helm with the upper level housing the gauges mounted in a burl wood panel. Waterproof rocker switches are low and to the left. Non-wood panels are brushed aluminum which keeps things bright but non-glaring. A compass is mounted in the center line, right in the captain's line of sight. The steering wheel is a very classy looking wood rimmed three-spoked version. Interestingly, the depth gauge is mounted off to the left, outside the panel and right above the drink holder. Interesting because there's plenty of room on the panel itself for mounting space.
Notice the steps to the walkthrough are a bit narrow. We found them to be just as functional as wider ones however.
Something you don't see very often is the powder-coated windshield frame with beefy support struts. The struts are convenient for using the frames as supports when utilizing the walk-through windshield.
Moving Below
There's a lot of natural light entering the Venezia cabin, and that sometimes translates to heat. You can counter this by either opening hatches, or turning on the optional air conditioner. If you don't have the generator option, you'll need to plug in the shore power cord into the outlet located portside amidships. Doral uses tinted acrylic doors on their boats. This allows you to see up on deck from the cabin, but it also allows for people on the dock to see into the cabin at night. At anchor it's a nice feature. A curved screen slider goes a long way towards keeping the cabin ventilated on a cool night.
The cabin's main feature is the curved settee forward that converts as expected to a forward berth. Rather than the typical V forward, this curving settee is much more comfortable and keeps everyone facing one another regardless of where you are in the cabin, where a V only has you facing whoever may be opposite you. The table has a feature that is sure to be copied elsewhere. It has a unique mounting base that allows it to pivot as well as slide side to side. This makes getting out from behind it infinitely more comfortable.
The forward settee is one step up from the salon deck; under the forward seat you can see the air conditioner vent.
There are cabin windows that not only look great from the outside, but they allow gobs of natural light into the cabin from their 3'9" (2.06 m) length. In addition, there are four opening portlights and an overhead hatch. But all that falls by the wayside at night, so there are several wall mounted lights that swivel and rotate. These lights can be used for reading, direct or indirect light.
A feature that Doral is famous for is headroom, and in this cabin we're looking at 6'1" (1.85 m), and there's a beautiful glossed finished wood trim piece going down the center of the overhead.
The galley features the usual cast of features: Single burner electric stove, that I'd like to see sea rails placed around, a microwave, single basin sink, and dual voltage refrigerator/freezer. The electrical control panel is just above the stove. Counters on our test boat were dark Corian. Opposite is a wet head with storage, mirror, portlight, and a curtain that pulls across the doorway.
Abaft all this is another berth tucked under the cockpit deck.
Handling and Performance
The Venezia hull has dual lifting strakes to either side that help achieve nice speeds, even with a single engine, as well as grab water in the turns. Reverse chines give a stable ride. When we pulled the power off from cruise, we noticed none of the stern wave following up and over the swim platform, or worse, into the cockpit.
When doing slow turns, the boat pivoted just ahead of the windshield, which is good to know when maneuvering around the dock.
Trimming the 275 Venezia is pretty straightforward. Get up on plane and start adding up-trim to the outdrive. It won't take too much. You won't notice a change in the spray coming out from the sides about where the helm is, but you will start to notice a boost in speed accompanied by the engine getting a bit quieter. Then you're in that sweet spot where you want to be. If you go a little too high, the bow will start porposing up and down, and if you experience that, then just drop the trim back down a pulse or two and you're back in the sweet spot.
Given that this is a sterndrive boat, you'll notice that there's a gentle roll into the turns that I found to be very comfortable. Once the boat rolls in, she then digs into the turn, but because you're already leaning over, that grab has more of an effect of settling you into your seat as opposed to throwing you out of it. Steering is all fingertip gentle thanks to the power steering.
Sightlines, whether sitting on the bolster or standing, are excellent. Bow rise on hole shot is around 16-degrees so you will lose visibility if sitting, so don't be shy about hitting the throttle to get up on step.
Cranking the wheel hard over and flooring the throttle showed no ventilation from the propeller; the engine loaded up at around 3500 RPM. We were turning around in less than a boat length with no adverse effects. This is a boat that can take it quite well.
Overall I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the Doral 275 Venezia. It makes an ideal couple's boat as you can keep the forward table in place for dining. However, with a few simple adjustments, a family of three or four, or perhaps two couples can have a comfortable weekend onboard at a distant port.

©2001 Deepak Chopra; (P)2005 Hay House, Inc.
"A great place to start!"
The wonderful Deepak Chopra and Gregg Braden on one audio! Need I say more? This audio speech is a great sampling of Gregg Braden's work, bringing together information from his research and books. However, if you have already read or listened to Gregg's other books, this audio can sound a little repetitive. If you are wondering about Gregg's work, then this is a great place as any to start, hence the five stars.
"Heard it all before!"
A good listen but Braden seems to repeat alot of things that I have known from his other works and you practically can predict what he is going to say next.I will still read the older forms of theosophy because it suits my current needs and I find there is more 'ancient wisdom" in it then a lot of current or modern books on spirituality.It is also too short for a such a fancy title.
"I Normally Really Like Gregg Braden"
I normally really like Gregg Braden and Deepak Choopra. Deepak only speaks briefly in this audio. Gregg Braden is one of my favorite authors...but this was just lacking. It was ok, but not as good as his other books...in my opinion.
It was short and not very interesting
"Good intro to Dead Sea Scrolls & synchronicity"
My first intro to how the dead sea scrolls really verify some of the current practice of mindful meditation/ specific prayer or "enlightenment" and that the original writings only enhance one's spirtuality.
This book is a good introduction to another book that was more in depth about the topic.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"this said nothing"
I'm not sure what I expected from this, but Braden seemed to take some well known ancient wisdom, re-package it slightly, and pretend he was letting his audience in on a "secret" (No pun intended, but I think there is one there!). I have also a 3.5 hour Greg Braden download to listen to, so I hope that there is more substance in that one.
"Content Excellent - Sound quality not"
The content was FANTASTIC!! However, as it is part of a lecture you can hear other microphoned people whispering through it. Also, it's part of a weekend retreat is sounds like. I would like to get a copy of all the lectures from that retreat.
Listen & understand with an open mind and you WILL feel this talk in your heart.
"The power of ancient magic"
I loved it I Deepak and Braden gave inspiring information! It's a must read! Awesome
"Introduction for the Isaiah effect book"
This is more like an introduction to the Isaiah effect book, which I'm getting now.
"Why was the truth suppressed"
So, many people will say that the Bible and Koran have never been changed. Yet in both cases this has been proven untrue completely. I've traveled the middle east and found that depending where you are and who is in control of the local ministries the Koran is changed. The same is true with the Bible with the King James version being the biggest example. Then we have Pope Benedict the 16th who edited the Bible to further weaken woman in it.
Here we learn more about the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' and the impact they're having because everyone agree that the Council of Nicaea edited out 25 books from the Bible and hacked the remaining ones to pieces. For the first time in our history we can see the truth, but we're too busy holding onto a sinking ship of race, pain, us versus them mentality or Pagan verse the Catholic Church instead of seeing the truth. We're all one and were all loved! We are going to move forward and it's only a matter of time. Read the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' and be open to the teachings there.
"not a book at all..."
this is a lecture given loosely around a book and really doesn't represent an audiobook at all. I have liked what I have read of his other books but this is a lecture he gave, more or less advertising his book at a Deepak Chopra workshop. Leaves you with nothing you can work with and is all hype. Spend your money on something else...
"wisdom beyond words"

One enormous point to remember as the NBA playoffs get underway: Though the Warriors are the clear underdogs for many solid reasons, they also have the best, most dangerous player on either roster in this fascinating first-round matchup vs. Denver.
That would be Stephen Curry, and when's the last time the Warriors went into any playoff series knowing that their player was the single most important force -- to either unleash or contain -- in a playoff round?
Maybe since Rick Barry in the mid-1970s? (The Mullin-Hardaway-etc. teams were very talented, but they kept running into Barkley-Payton-David Robinson-Magic-Kareem-KJ in their short playoff campaigns.)
Let me repeat, this is no way alters the fact that the 6th-seeded Warriors will have a giant task ahead of them vs. No. 3 Denver, not the least being Denver's NBA-best 38-3 home record and the significance of this series starting with two games in the Mile High city.
To get any kind of footing, the Warriors will have to find a way to steal one of the first two games -- the way they stole Game 1 in Dallas in 2007 to start their epic six-game toppling -- and the Nuggets have proved that they know how to defend their home court with a vengeance.
The Nuggets are deep, they are athletic, they can run away from anybody ... and they also finished this season on a ridiculous 23-3 run over the last two months, enduring major injuries and the potential for a lull.
By the way, in the same time span, the Warriors went 15-13.
But the Warriors have a slightly better than blind squirrel's chance at this mainly because they have Curry, who broke the NBA single-season record for 3-pointers Wednesday night and who, if the defense cannot get multiple bodies on him throughout the game, can put up 40 to 50 to 54 in a blink.
So, as with most series involving solid teams, this breakdown starts with the best player, and the logical question: Can Denver keep Curry from dominating games with his shooting?
The answer: Yes, the Nuggets probably can because they've already shown they can do a decent job vs. Curry in the regular-season series, which Denver won 3-1.
Interestingly, while Curry shot a blistering 66.7 percent from 3-point distance in the four games vs. Denver, he only averaged 18.8 points ... and that's because he only made 25.6 percent from inside the arc.
That shows how well Denver coach George Karl's scheme limited Curry -- Denver has a lot of long-armed mid-sized players, and Karl likes to employ an aggressive switching defense.
So if Ty Lawson starts on Curry and gets screened, the Nuggets don't panic, they just switch Wilson Chandler on Curry or Andre Iguodala or Kenneth Faried or Corey Brewer or whoever needs to jump out to stop the easy shot. That's a lot of guys to do that.
The Nuggets have given up some Curry deep looks, but they haven't let him get incendiary from all over the floor -- once he dribbles, they're all over him.
What's the Warriors' counter to this? Well, it's simple to say that Curry has to hit some contested shots -- easy to say, not easy to do, especially on the road in the thin air.
He's the best player, he's going to have to take it upon himself, maybe a little recklessly, and maybe shoot the Warriors in or out of a tight game. He did that at Davidson a few times, didn't he?
Meanwhile, Klay Thompson got some pretty regular open looks vs. Denver (sometimes he didn't think so well through those moments early in the season, of course), and David Lee had one monster performance in the one Warriors' victory over Denver.
So ... Curry has to keep shooting, draw Chandler, Brewer and the others, stay strong on the dribble, and then Thompson, Lee and the others have to make some pressure shots ... then see if Jarrett Jack can create down the stretch ... and that's just to keep the Warriors competitive in the two Denver games.
It's who the Warriors are. It's how they have to play this.
On the other side, Curry has a tough defensive matchup against the very quick Lawson, who is back from a plantar fascia tear in his right heel and has apparently played OK down the stretch. That might mean putting Thompson on Lawson for stretches, and maybe Curry on Chandler or Iguodala, and THAT could get very troublesome.
Anyway, against the good teams, the Warriors' chances always ride with Curry's shooting, and as an add on, to Thompson's shooting too.
The Warrior were the No. 1 3-point percentage shooting team at 40.3 percent ... and Denver is a little bit vulnerable there — again, probably because of Karl's system -- because Nuggets opponents made the second-most 3-pointers in the league (8 per).
If the Warriors are going to threaten Denver and take this series deep, they're going to have to make 3-pointers. That is not breaking news. But if Denver has a crack in its defensive process, it's giving up the three at a pretty decent rate.
Some of the other matchups and notable statistical points ...
I'm not sure his presence is a game-changer against Denver, since the Nuggets don't really pound the ball inside -- unless JaVale McGee is in a shooting mood, and I think opponents usually love it when McGee is in a shooting mood.
But if Bogut can give the Warriors 25 minutes a game in the playoffs -- with guaranteed days off in-between games -- he can bother Lawson and Andre Miller's penetration and cut down on some of Denver's big statistical edges on the Warriors.
Mostly, Bogut can tamp down the Warriors' extreme tendency to grab players as they race to the rim. Because he can play straight up large-man D, while most of the other Warriors cannot or do not.
Denver had more free-throw tries than the Warriors in each of the four games and it's just about the only way the Nuggets beat the Warriors in the last one, on Jan. 13, when the Warriors made 13 3-pointers and shot 51.8 percent.
In that game, Denver had a 27-8 free-throw advantage. Overall, the Nuggets had an average of 27 free throw attempts in the season series. The Warriors shot an average of 15.5.
If the Nuggets have that kind of free-throw edge in the first few games, the Warriors' odds of winning this series drop to almost zero.
It's better than I would've set for a matchup against San Antonio, just because the Warriors have proved it's almost impossible for them to win in San Antonio.
And it's much worse than I would've given the Warriors if they'd lucked into a Clippers series.
Denver is not a good matchup, but it's better than it could've been. The Nuggets don't have a center or power forward that the Warriors must double-team down low, and the loss of Danilo Gallinari does change things.
Which means the Nuggets swept all their home games vs. Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Memphis and everybody else.
Denver was 19-22 on the road -- so if the Warriors can pick off one of the first two, they're going to be in a pretty strong position in this series. (The Warriors were 28-13 at home.)
Two things: Gallinari didn't dominate the Warriors in the series, but hit some important shots.
And: Denver is 4-1 since losing him to a knee injury, so it's not like everything depended on him.

NY man sues for every penny on Earth
Posted May 19th, 2014 @ 11:37am by Derek Andersen, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – Anton Purisima is a man who knows how to think big. The New Yorker has filed a 22-page handwritten suit in a Manhattan court for two undecillion dollars. The sum, written as two followed by thirty-six zeros, is likely a new record for a demand in a lawsuit, the New York Postsays. It's also more money than even exists in the world by a long shot, Gothamist notes, but at least there are more than a thousand defendants to bear the brunt. They include the New York City Transit Authority, the entire city of NYC, Au Bon Pain Store, LaGuardia Airport, a Kmart store, a dog owner, several health care providers, and 1,000 John Does.

2 people made it ride very low and we hit bottom a lot. River was down, so expected some bumps. Person in back had no Leg room so had to put legs up on sides, but front seat kept sliding back. Better for one and gear. We didn't put the keel on as we knew we'd hit rocks- so tracking was poor- but I am eager to try it solo in deeper water with keel.
Keene Valley, NY
This is a great boat. While it can fit two adults, I found it works best for myself, I'm 5 feet 3 inches, and one of my kids ages 10 and 7. It is a bit small for my 6 foot husband to paddle with me. I have also paddled it alone with great ease. It inflates in minutes and feels surprisingly stable on the water. I stick to flat ponds and calm salt water inlets and am not sure I would do anything more adventurous. It is simple to pack for our family camping trips, which makes it a lot easier than our canoe. I highly recommend this fun little kayak.

Breastfed Kids Become Social Climbers
Feb. 14, 2007 -- Breastfed babies are likely to become better educated and more upwardly mobile adults than their bottle-fed peers, according to a new British study.
The study began in 1937 and tracked 1,414 British children into late adulthood.
It found those breastfed as infants were 41% more likely to move up the social ladder, according to Richard Martin, BM, BS, PhD, an epidemiologist at the University of Bristol, in England, and an author of the study.
However, Martin is quick to offer a caveat: "It's very possible that the effect is not due to breastfeeding per se, but something to do with the mothers' choice to breastfeed, or the environment in which the child grew up in, that may be more important," he tells WebMD.
The Study
At its start, the study included more than 3,000 children from 16 urban and rural areas across England and Scotland, monitored from birth as part of the Boyd Orr Study of Diet and Health in Pre-War Britain.
When the study began, the children were about 7 years old.
The social class of the children's head of household was noted -- classified as professional and managerial, skilled, partly skilled, unskilled, or unemployed.
The prevalence of breastfeeding ranged from 45% to 85%, but whether a mother chose to breastfeed did not depend on household income, what the household spent on food, the number of siblings, birth order, or the social class of the family at the start of the study, the researchers found.
Follow-up questionnaires about educational achievements and social mobility were sent out in 1997 and 1998, when study participants were in their 60s and 70s.
In the follow-up, researchers again asked about social class based on occupation.
Breastfeeding Time Counts
The 1990s surveys showed that breastfed infants were more likely to complete secondary school; with 27% of breastfed versus 20% of bottle-fed graduating.
Breastfed babies were also more likely to move up in social class, based on occupation. Fifty-eight percent of breastfed infants moved up, compared with 50% of bottle-fed ones.
Fifty percent of bottle-fed infants stayed in the same social class or went downward, while only 42% of the breast-fed infants stayed the same or moved down.
The longer a child was breastfed, the more likely he or she was to be upwardly mobile.

Will Eating Maggots Be the Next Diet Fad? (Count Us Out)
Why an Austrian woman invented a gagalicious kitchen device
Katharina Unger, an industrial design graduate of University of Applied Arts in Vienna, believes that protein is an important part of people's diets. She's also hellbent on thwarting the meat industry because, as the Daily Mail reports, "We already use one third of croplands for the production of animal feed, it will be necessary to develop alternative food sources and production methods."
Her solution? Soy? Nah, been there, done that. Quorn? So passé. Nope, Unger thinks that the best way to get your protein while protecting the planet is to grow your own bugs at home and scarf 'em down at least twice weekly.
And, we're not just talking regular, run of the mill bugs here folks, we're talking maggots. Unger has invented a machine called The Farm 432 that can grow enough larvae for two bug-a-licious meals each week (she recommends using them in a tomato risotto).
Think growing maggots at home is complicated? The Farm 432 is so simple that a child could do it. The Mail explains; "You simply drop some black soldier fly larvae into an appliance chamber. Here they grow and then move to a larger chamber, mate and produce larva.
This falls down into a separate area, where it matures, moves on up a tube, and falls into a cup. Some larvae are dropped back into the machine to restart the process, while the rest are ready to eat."
See? Easy Peasy.
If you're so inclined, you can watch the video below for a full-on demo of how this doo-dad works. And please, tell us, would you consider incorporating maggots -- or any other source of insect protein -- into your diet?

News 12 at 6 o'clock, July 21, 2007
AUGUSTA, GA---It's the 22nd annual Augusta Southern Nationals, and the high speed water race is bringing a lot of noise, a big crowd, and a lot of money to the Garden City.
They've come from more than 25 states, and as far North as Canada to race on the Savannah this weekend and the fast paced thrills didn't disappoint.
At speeds of more than 250 miles an hour, it's hard for any fan of speed not to enjoy the sights and sounds of drag boat racing.
"It's bad to the bone!" laughs fan David Nettles.
"Just a thrill, love it!" screams David Jenkins.
"Anything mechanical, anything fast, anything loud. It's what we like." adds Jason Lovell, who brought his four year old son Austin for the first time. When asked if he was having fun, Austin Lovell couldn't wipe the smile from his face.
And he's not the only one, even the veteran drivers say it's still a thrill, every time. Scotty Lumbert has raced for over a decade, this time he's with MMG Motorsports out of North Carolina. "Just adrenaline you know. I'm an adrenaline junkie!"
But a lot of work goes into putting the race on every year both on and off the water.
It's an event put on by a staff of volunteers like Dayton Sherrouse.
"You get a group of people together and do something not for profit, but for the city."
After expenses are covered, all proceeds are donated to the Georgia Special Olympics. That's why Sherrouse says he comes back to volunteer, every year since the races began here in Augusta back in 1986. "Things we take for granted you see them really putting everything they've got on the line under very difficult circumstances. And that's a very satisfying thing."
For others it's the speed, or the noise, and the close calls.
But who the big winner will be is still anybody's guess.
News 12 asked Lumbert if he would win and he laughed "I hope so, that's the plan. But they're six other in the class that all want to win and we're going to do our best to beat them all."
Now there's about 80 boats competing this year, that's up 14 boats from last year. And organizers say the more teams, the more money pumped into our economy.
Last year 1.2 million dollars were spent in the Garden City from hotels, to restaurants and other activities.

The trial of SSgt. Frank Wuterich and subsequent sentence
Anyone else baffled at the outcome of this? I'm beyond confused as to how dude can admit to murdering 24 innocent men, women and children and walk away with a 3 month sentence(which has been commuted) and a pay cut while Bradley Manning sits facing possible life in prison for releasing documents which expose fucks like SSgt. Wuterich and those who wish to cover up such incidents.
Not to mention the other 8 men involved in the murders which he "led" were literally let off without consequence.
Apparently the Law Firm who defended Wuterich had their email hacked by you know who. 2 years of correspondence posted online for all to see. Conversations consisting of them sharing a laugh about the reports of Marines urinating on dead Afghans among other things.
This doesn't look good for them but, hey, they got a murderer off scott free.

Yeah, this blows my mind as well. I don't know the details of the case, but I'm sure they gave the whole "war makes people crazy" defense. I understand the issues of ptsd, but this is above and beyond that. I really feel for Manning. He'll be staring at concrete walls for a loooong time. Even his defense is a bit wack. I understand the role of the lawyers, and nobody wants to serve time, even when they are guilty, but this is a bit out of hand. I'm bringing back the twinkie defense if i ever fuck up big time.

Just another reason why war is awful. From the Guardian article it seemed like the Marines were acting vengefully and without cause. It blows my mind that the death of 24 civilians gets chalked up to "dereliction of duty." What? Two dozen dead isn't accidental. It doesn't even fit into the dehumanizing category of "collateral damage." That's systematic.

Moneyshot for anyone following the suspected corrupt back channel dealings between the military, judge, and defense attorneys regarding this case.
Mods, if you feel this link needs to come down then by all means, delete my post. :)
edit: apparently there are talks of suing someone, and the marines, for tarnishing this "poor boy's" record and "ruining 6 years of his life."
Allen West (R-FL) has been involved in this case the entire time, which I guess explains why his staff aided the defense at one point, but now there are emails that have him on record using his political influence to get the deal Sgt. Wuterich got, and then have him admitting that he "will let his staff handle things from here on out because I don't want it to seem as if I used any influence from my 'position'"

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Estimated prevalence by current occupation, U.S. working adults, current smokers aged 18 and over, 2004–2011
† Estimates with a relative standard error of greater than 50% are suppressed.
– Estimated confidence intervals not calculated because estimated prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among workers in this occupation is zero.
a Estimates with a relative standard error of more than 30% but less than or equal to 50% are statistically unstable due to small sample size and should be used with caution as they do not meet the standards of reliability.
b No current smokers in this occupation from 2004 to 2011. Prevalence estimate and confidence interval are not calculated ("na" = not applicable).
† Estimates with a relative standard error of greater than 50% are suppressed.
Numbers presented are average annual estimates for the period 2004–2011. Prevalence estimates are weighted and are not age-adjusted. Current smokers are those who reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who smoke every day or some days at the time of the survey. Working adults are those who were employed in the week prior to the survey. Estimated populations represent current U.S. workers aged 18 years and over by occupation.

About the Book
In Wild Awake, Hilary T. Smith's exhilarating and heart-wrenching YA debut novel, seventeen-year-old Kiri Byrd has big plans for her summer without her parents. She intends to devote herself to her music and win Battle of the Bands with her bandmate and best friend, Lukas. Perhaps then, in the excitement of victory, he will finally realize she's the girl of his dreams.
But a phone call from a stranger shatters Kiri's plans. He says he has her sister's stuff—her sister, Sukey, who died five years ago. This call throws Kiri into a spiral of chaos that opens old wounds and new mysteries.
Like If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wild Awake explores loss, love, and what it means to be alive.
Things you earnestly believe will happen while your parents are away:
1. You will remember to water the azaleas.
2. You will take detailed, accurate messages.
3. You will call your older brother, Denny, if even the slightest thing goes wrong.
4. You and your best friend/bandmate, Lukas, will win Battle of the Bands.
5. Amid the thrill of victory, Lukas will finally realize you are the girl of his dreams.
Things that actually happen:
1. A stranger calls who says he knew your sister.
2. He says he has her stuff.
3. What stuff? Her stuff.
4. You tell him your parents won't be able to—
5. Sukey died five years ago; can't he—
6. You pick up a pen.
7. You scribble down the address.
8. You get on your bike and go.
9. Things . . . get a little crazy after that.*
*Also, you fall in love, but not with Lukas.
Both exhilarating and wrenching, Hilary T. Smith's debut novel captures the messy glory of being alive, as seventeen-year-old Kiri Byrd discovers love, loss, chaos, and murder woven into a summer of music, madness, piercing heartbreak, and intoxicating joy.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Hilary T. Smith's absorbing debut whispers with mystery, drawing us into a world of dead sisters, family secrets, midnight bicycle rides, music, madness and art—ultimately exploring that most profound mystery of all: love." — Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay and Just One Day
"Beautiful and energetic…Smith's a writer to watch." — Kirkus Reviews
"Most fascinating in this stirring coming-of-age novel are the blurred lines between perception and reality, genius and madness, peace and turmoil. Debut author Smith embraces the complexities of grief, family dynamics, creativity, mental illness, and love and pens them with a thoughtful, subtle hand." — Horn Book Magazine
"Debut author Smith can craft a simile like no one's business, and her ebullient language drives this story, which captures moments of life at its highest and blurriest points: love, loss, music, freedom." — ALA Booklist
"A compelling novel with moments of lyrical beauty." — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Exquisite…Smith adeptly captures the darkness and betrayal of a family secret. Kiri's narrative is heart-wrenching….The story is beautifully written and engaging, and Kiri's voice is a powerful reminder that life can be full of pain and joy and that to embrace both is good for the soul." — School Library Journal

The Islanders men's basketball team returns to the court after a two-week break for final exams, as it heads to Mobile, Ala., to take on South Alabama on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has not played since Dec. 1, when they fell at the University of Iowa. The contest will air live on KUNO 1400 AM with Yannis Koutroupis on the call.
• The Islanders have one of the youngest teams in Division I, with an average age of 20 years, two months and 17 days heading into today's matchup.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi had a tough road trip before the break, falling at Toledo and Iowa. The Islanders bounced back with their best two weeks of practice this season, according to Coach Wilson.
• Four players scored in double figures, led by Joy Williamson's career-high 14, at Iowa.
• Native Bahamanian Zane Knowles has increased his point output every game, capping it off with 12 points and eight boards against the Hawkeyes.
• Sophomore Hameed Ali leads the conference in both steals (2.5) and assist-to-turnover ratio (3.3) this season. Ali was 21st nationally entering the week in assist-to-turnover ratio and 29th in steals.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is ineligible for the postseason because of poor results in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate. No Islander who has played under Wilson had anything to do with the subpar score.
Junior Zane Knowles has elevated his game every time out for the Islanders. The transfer from Pearl River CC entered the year as the team's most physical big man, and he has used that size to his advantage as of late. Knowles has increased his point total every game and has steadily improved upon his rebounding numbers as well.
His most recent outing was his most impressive. Against a physical Iowa team, Knowles rose to the occasion, battling his way to eight rebounds (six on the offensive glass) and adding a career-high 12 points as well. He went 6-for-10 in 33 minutes of action.
A native of Nassau, Bahamas, Knowles played sparingly as a freshman at Grambling before electing to move on to Pearl River, where he was a First Team Mississippi All-Star.
The quality of the Islanders' play has been in concert with the number of turnovers they have committed as of late. In the Toledo game, A&M - Corpus Christi committed 16 turnovers, their highest total since the season opener, and fell by 12 to the Rockets. They followed that with 15 at Iowa.
The previous two games saw the Islanders take care of the ball like no other time in program history. After posting six turnovers at Utah State – the second lowest total in school lore – the Islanders matched the school record with only five turns against Houston. With an average of just 12.0 turnovers per game entering the week, the Islanders were 45th in the nation in the category. A year ago, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi was 291st in the nation in turnovers out of 338 teams ranked.
One of the primary reasons for the improvement in turnovers has been the youngest member of last year's freshman class. Hameed Ali showed flashes of being a strong player for the Islanders in 2011-12, hitting game-winning shots against Utah State and Sam Houston State in addition to having the ball in his hands with the chance at a win against South Alabama.
But Ali, who turned 19 in August, has shown significant growth in his maturity, particularly as a vocal leader for the Islanders. Formerly one of the most shy members of the team, Ali has become a constant voice in practice – whether he is on the court or on the sidelines.
Ali posted a career-best seven assists at Utah State, and followed that up with six more against Houston. In the Toledo game, where the Islanders struggled from the field, he still was able to post three assists. But far more impressive were his turnover numbers – 0, 1 and 1, respectively – in those three games.
The sophomore is currently seventh in the league in assists per game, and his 3.3 assist-to-turnover ratio is far and away tops in the Southland. His 2.5 steals per game also lead the conference.
Hameed Ali isn't the only Islanders player who is shining as a pickpocket this year. Joy Williamson is just two steals behind Ali, and sits second in the conference with his 2.2 per game. It is the only instance in the Southland where teammates occupy the top two slots in any major statistical category. The twosome both entered the week in the top 75 nationally, with Ali 29th and Williamson 73rd.
Among the Islanders, there is no personality quite like that of the appropriately-named Joy Williamson. The junior transfer's ebullient and energetic personality is matched only by his intensity and pace on the basketball court.
Williamson has developed into an excellent sixth man for the Islanders, as he leads the team with 61 bench points on the season. The junior college transfer has developed into an impressive defender for the Islanders as well, with his 2.2 steals per game ranking second in the Southland.
Against Houston, the guard's offensive ability shined brightly, going 6-for-9 from the field for a career-best 13 points. But he filled the stat sheet in all other aspects of his game as well – Williamson snared seven rebounds, dished out four assists to no turnovers and registered three steals, all in a career-high 33 minutes.
Williamson, who had his first career game in double figures at Denver, has had five-plus points in each of his six games in an Islanders uniform. He has seen his minutes steadily increase, with four straight games over 30 minutes. He has been a consistent shooter overall (.431), from downtown (.381) and from the free-throw line (.727).
Williamson played two seasons at Redlands Community College, where he was coached by current Islanders assistant Yaphett King. The Oklahoma City native scored 18.7 points and grabbed 8.2 rebounds at Redlands after a standout high school career at Putnam City North High School.

dream a little dream.
the picture of that dog just reminded me of a weird dream i had not too long ago.
i was having a conversation with my dog about where he wanted to be buried. from what i can recall my dog wanted to be buried "back where it all started for him"
which probably would mean a burial in his fathers penis.
my dreams are always seriously fucked up.
i speak not a word of a lie about talking to my dog.
in the real world my dog is living with my aunt now and close to death i'm told. might explain his appearance in my subconscious.
on another dream related note, i seem to have more nightmares if i sleep on my left side. no idea why or how.

Aaron Romero says that he was struggling to overcome an addiction to crack cocaine when he was approached by federal agents in 2011 to assist in an drug investigation.
The government's payment for his services: all the sweet, sweet crack he could smoke.
Romero, 38, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on Monday against the Drug Enforcement Administration alleging that they purposely reignited his crack addiction to help them further their undercover investigation (which was given the astonishing codename "Operation Smack City") into the Las Vegas, New Mexico drug ring.
According to court documents, five DEA agents were named in the lawsuit—two special agents, one group supervisor, an assistant agent-in-charge and the overall agent in charge.
"The United States government and the defendants affirmatively and intentionally established a pattern of distribution of crack cocaine to (Romero) in order to utilize his addiction to crack cocaine to further the investigation and to 'stack drug related charges' against him," the lawsuit alleges.
Romero's attorney says that federal prosecutors later charged Romero with drug distribution, but those charges were dropped this past January.
A spokesperson with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque declined to comment to the Associated Press on the lawsuit. Romero, whose lawyers say is now drug-free, is seeking $8.5 million for the damage to his personal relationships he says his fed-fueled crack addiction has caused.

Deputies: Suspect caught under bed
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 12:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 12:56 p.m.
After a brief foot chase, a Raceland man with six warrants out for his arrest was caught Tuesday, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Albert Coleman III, 32, 319 St. Louis St., was arrested after deputies allegedly found him hiding under the bed of a home on Ayo Street in Raceland.
Coleman had warrants for his arrest on drug charges, domestic abuse involving child endangerment and strangulation, home invasion and failure to pay $12,489 in child support, the Sheriff's Office said. He was also charged with resisting an officer.
Sheriff's deputies were patrolling in Raceland about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday when they said they spotted Coleman outside a home on the 600 block of Market Street.
Coleman ducked inside the home to avoid police and then led officers on a foot chase until deputies lost sight of him outside a home on Ayo Street, according to reports. A woman rushed out of the home and informed police that Coleman was inside. .
Coleman is in the Lafourche Parish jail on a $51,100 bond. His criminal history dates back to 1998 and includes 15 prison terms stemming from 10 arrests for charges that included drug possession, simple battery and obstruction of justice, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Senegal is a scintillating country with a fascinating culture, friendly inhabitants and an exquisitely beautiful coastline that is no less than 750 kilometres long.
Senegal is situated in West Africa, in the northern hemisphere. The flat landscape is broken by two extinct volcanoes on the peninsula containing the city of Dakar. Because of their shape, they are popularly known as "Les Mamelles" (the Breasts).
Senegal has many beautiful beaches. It has a pleasant temperature, mainly thanks to the gentle breeze coming from the sea. You can spend hours gazing at the ocean, watch fishing boats or take part in water sports. The villages of Joal and Fadiout are certainly worth a visit. They have been built on three small islands that are made entirely of shells.
Travel to Senegal made easier: as of 1st May 2015 a visa for visiting Senegal is no longer required.
Dakar is a lively, dynamic city with charming markets, a bustling street life and beautiful warm and sunny weather.

VAIL - The final Hot Summer Nights free concert is set for tonight. One of the biggest names of the season is set to perform: Kyle Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth will take the stage tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.
Known best for his contributions to The String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is a well-established musician known for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop.
"In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we're not afraid to move in and out of genres," Hollingsworth said. "And because of that I've learned to be creative, not only onstage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to."
Tonight concert organizers are holding a contest to win two tickets to the upcoming Gov't Mule show, set for Sept. 14 at the Ford Amphitheater. Find a stuffed mule hidden somewhere at the Amphitheater to win two tickets to the show.
The Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater is located east of Golden Peak at Ford Park in Vail.

The Henderson County Sheriff's Office is mustering its first cadet corps. The upcoming rank of the Sheriff's Office Cadet Corps will be made up of future leaders with an eye toward service for the county they live in.
A cadet will be held to the standards of high morals and good judgment, and should excel in academics. The goal of the corps is to expose young men and women to the various aspects of police work in order to prepare them for a career in law enforcement. They will help at the Sheriff's Office and also act as a liaison between law enforcement officers and youth in the community.
"A structured program has been established to promote Cadet responsibility," according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office. "The Henderson County Sheriff's Office Cadet Corps is a worksite-based outreach for young men and women."
In order to apply, a candidate must be between the ages of 15 and 20, or a freshman in high school who is at least 14 years old. Because physical activity will be required, cadets must have no limitations of joint movement. Candidates must show an active interest in law enforcement, have at least a 2.5 GPA and maintain ethical standards of conduct at all times.
Cadets must be able to pass an oral interview and background investigation, and they must not have been convicted of a felony or crime of moral turpitude, according to the release. Once accepted, cadets can remain in the program until their 22nd birthday.
For more information or to sign up, call Detective Terry Tweed at 828-694-2799, email email@example.com or drop by the Sheriff's Office at 100 N. Grove St., Hendersonville.
