Humanoid Robot Olympics
This adorable "bottle traction" event took place at the 7th Wonderful Robot Carnival in Japan back in July. Each robot has one minute to move a basket full of bottles as far as they can, and they're awarded points equal to the number of bottles times the distance moved. Unlike RoboGames, which has many different events for many different robots, this is more like a robot Olympics, where a single robot competes in a bunch of things… And unlike the real Olympics, the top four robots decide the overall winner with a deathmatch at the end. Are you listening, London 2012?
Final Deathmatch:

Bleaching is done to lighten teeth that are stained or discolored. It entails the use of a
bleaching solution applied by a dentist or a gel in a tray that fits over the teeth used at
home under a dentist's supervision. Bonding involves applying tooth-colored plastic putty,
called composite resin, to the surface of chipped or broken teeth. This resin is also used
to fill cavities in front teeth (giving a more natural-looking result) and to fill gaps between teeth.
Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that cover the front of the teeth. They can improve the
appearance of damaged, discolored, misshapen, or misaligned teeth. Reshaping involves
the removal of enamel from a misshapen tooth so that it matches other teeth.
Orthodontics uses braces to correct the position of crowded or misaligned teeth.
Implants are artificial teeth which are attached directly to the jaw to replace missing teeth.
Using the latest techniques and materials, Dr Saleh has attended numerous advanced courses to ensure the highest standard of care.
Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentistry aims to improve your dental appearance by removing unsightly irregularities, stains, gaps, metal restorations and altering tooth form, shape and color through adhesive restorations, bleaching, veneers and cosmetic contouring.

To the Editor.—
We wish to correct a misleading inference drawn from our data by Dr Maltzman1 in his recent letter. From a prepublication manuscript, Dr Maltzman drew the figure that only 10% of our clinical sample were engaging in controlled and asymptomatic drinking at long-term follow-up. This figure is correct, but is erroneously contrasted with a recovery rate of 60% to 65% that he describes as "the industry norm for abstinence-oriented programs." This quoted figure, based on a comment made in an interview, is a gross and unsubstantiated estimate of outcomes among "those who finish treatment" and is quite at variance with empirical evidence from properly conducted clinical trials. In a review restricted to outcome studies with at least one year of follow-up data, Costello2 concluded that the average success rate (abstinent plus improved cases) after alcoholism treatment is 26%. A similar picture emerged from Vaillant's3

Roundup: 'Grace of Monaco' director takes on Harvey
Another day, another director feuding with Harvey Weinstein over the editing of his movie. This time it's Frenchman Olivier Dahan, who's none too pleased with the postponement of his Nicole Kidman-starring biopic "Grace of Monaco" to next year, and is fighting Weinstein's proposed changes. Speaking to a French newspaper, he says: "It's right to struggle, but when you confront an American distributor like Weinstein, not to name names, there is not much you can do. Either you say 'Go figure it out with your pile of shit' or you brace yourself so the blackmail isn't as violent ... If I don't sign, that's where the out-and-out blackmail starts, but I could go that far. There are two versions of the film for now: mine and his ... which I find catastrophic." So, this bodes well.

At its founding in 1968, Nashville-based HCA was one of the nation's first hospital companies. Today, we are the nation's leading provider of healthcare services, a company comprised of locally managed facilities that includes about 163 hospitals and 109 freestanding surgery centers in 20 states and England and employing approximately 199,000 people. Approximately four to five percent of all inpatient care delivered in the country today is provided by HCA facilities. Richard M. Bracken serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HCA, and R. Milton Johnson is the company's President and Chief Financial Officer.
Shared Services Streamlines Administrative Functions
Shared Services is HCA's strategy to improve performance and reduce costs by consolidating in several non-clinical, administrative functions. Those functions include Patient Account Services (PAS), Supply Chain Services (SCS) and Payroll Services (PSC, Payroll Service Center), HIM Shared Services, and Credentialing Services. Streamlining in these areas allows us to direct additional resources to patient care and enhance our hospitals' fundamental focus on clinical services.
It's really about preserving our clinical core.
Everyone is a contributor to creating a great place to work. At HCA, we believe our success is dependent on a Healthy Work Environment where caregivers, staff, administrators, physicians and volunteers are at the core of a patients-first culture. At the heart of everything we do is applying the same compassion and commitment we have for our patients to our co-workers and colleagues. We work hard to create a place where employees feel empowered to provide the best care possible and experience a rewarding career.

This may give you some info (some links at the bottom)?
I have been using ketosticks the past 2 days to monitor my level of ketones, mainly for interests sake. I had trace amounts by the end of the first day moderate amounts yesterday, trace this morning before sprints and none after sprints, two hours later and I have the level between trace and moderate....
Can anyone explain why after sprinting I would have no ketones till a few hours later (no food intake before sprints, only cup of decaf and cup of water)? Also can ketones appear due to a high fat meal rather than your body using stored fat for fuel?
Looking forward to your replies. Cheers Kaz
This may give you some info (some links at the bottom)?
The "Seven Deadly Sins"
Grains (wheat/rice/oats etc) . . . . . Dairy (milk/yogurt/butter/cheese etc) . . . . . Nightshades (peppers/tomato/eggplant etc)
Tubers (potato/arrowroot etc) . . . Modernly palatable (cashews/olives etc) . . . Refined foods (salt/sugars etc )
Legumes (soy/beans/peas etc)
Thanks Tarlach. Have had a look and it answers the questions perfectly.
I hardly ever go into Ketosis.Do you do a regular fast?
Hi Graeme,'
I am new to primal eating, have cut out grains and most diary over the past month and after reading Marks book I have decided to take the plunge, the theory really sits well with me. I have just completed my first 15 hour fast this morning, and aim to build it by an hour each week, easing in. I found myself very hungry after the fast this morning, went for 1.5 hr walk then waited another half hour before eating. I am still hungry after having breakfast. I am going to start a diary today so you all can give me some pointers as I go along. I dont consume much fruit (only berries) eat heaps of veges at lunch and dinner but am struggling getting the carbs above 50g a day. Some days they have been below 30g, hence the ketosis.
I have just read the weight loss section of Marks book and see that it isnt necessary to go into ketosis, which is great. I was just playing around with it for interests sake more than anything.
Tips on increasing the carb intake would be good.
Cheers Kaz
kaz.au, more fruit would do it... do you just not like fruit other than berries? I mean, I think one banana has 28g of carbs (don't quote me on that) so that would help if you're trying to get your carbs up.
Is there a problem with having the carbs so low though?
Eating lots but still hungry? Eat more fat. Mid-day sluggishness? Eat more fat. Feeling depressed or irritable? Eat more fat. People think you've developed an eating disorder? Eat more fat... in front of them.
Thanks FNW,
I do have some probs with fruit, I have had a terrible time with my hormones over the past few years and when my estrogen bottomed out, I developed these terrible rashes on my abdomen (doctors couldnt diagnose them). They are intensely itchy and get very inflamed, to the point that I could have gouged holes in myself. Overtime I noticed that different foods including fruits caused them to flare, like an allergy. So I dropped fruit because of that, and I had never been a huge fan anyway. I actually never ate any fruit before my hormonal disaster because it always made me quite hungry.
Since getting my hormones back on track (having a cycle again only 33), the rash has remained somewhat waiting to flare. I have noticed nuts also aggravate it, so am going to cut them out as well. I will have to eat lots of avocado and organic butter I think to get the fats up to a good level. I am contemplating seeing a specialist dermatologist to get it diagnosed correctly as a form of skin lymphoma can present similar rashes (have been researching the rash on the net) and often goes undiagnosed by mainstream doctors and pathologists.
Anyway raving a bit, but I do enjoy half a banana occasionally so might start having half a banana a day with some berries. I dont see that having low carbs would be too bad, but I have ramped up the exercise and will begin strengh training again when I get my kettlebells so might cause fatigue then. Would love to hear peoples opinions.
Cheers Kaz
I don't think you'll be fatigued if you keep the intensity at the right level (moderate in general) but I'm not sure... I'm still not exercising yet (recovering from surgery) so I don't know how my body will react, but I feel very energetic and my carbs have been pretty low.
I hope you get that rash issue under control! It does not sound like any fun at all!
Eating lots but still hungry? Eat more fat. Mid-day sluggishness? Eat more fat. Feeling depressed or irritable? Eat more fat. People think you've developed an eating disorder? Eat more fat... in front of them.

I have been eating Primal since Feb of 2010 and lost about 13 pounds the first couple of months but stopped (even gained 2-5) after that and haven't been able to lose till the last couple of months. I was not gaining, most of that tim, and do feel amazingly better eating this way.
I decided to stop focusing on losing weight and just focus on being healthy and eating nutrition dense foods with focused relaxation (meditation). I also have only been eating 3 meals a day with no snacking in between and I stop eating at least 3 hours before bed. I seem to have a bit more energy and have lost 5.5 lbs these last couple of months.
It may be that just the thought of trying to lose weight makes my body go into preservation mode or something. Stress also plays a big role for me. I believe the meditation has helped the most. It will be interesting to see if the trend continues. I am going to continue to focus on the stress aspect mostly.

Penang Island Jazz Festival 2012
Bayview Hotel
Penang, Malaysia
November 29December 2, 2012
From pickup at the airport at 10.30pm to personal send-off five days later at 4.00am, Paul Augustin, the Director of the Penang Island Jazz Festival, is what you could call the perfect host. It's this personal touchinstilled in the festival staff's ethosthat sets the PIJF apart from many bigger and more famous festivals. It's no surprise therefore, with such personal attention the norm, that the good vibes translate to the musicians and from the musicians to the audience. Augustin has a good handle on what a festival is supposed to deliver and more often than not, PIJF does just that. PIJF 2012 offered up many highlights over four days.
Musicians love playing at the PIJF because the treatment they receive is warm and refreshingly relaxed, which is not to say that the festival's organization is in any way sloppy; in fact, just the opposite is the case. Augustin and his business partner in Capricorn Connections, Chin Cy, have managed to keep the same team together for nine yearsmany of the volunteers, the excellent sound team, the emcees and the tireless backroom staff keep coming back for more year after year, and the running of the festival is water tight. Turn around time between bands on the main stage, for example, only once exceeded the ten minute allocation and the sound, without exception, was excellent.
It's not just the PIJF staff who have shown tremendous loyalty throughout the years; having covered four editions of the PIJF for All About Jazz, I can vouch that many in the crowd have been regular attendees for years. From Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia and from Singapore, Thailand and even England, familiar faces turn up year after year at the Bayview Hotel in Batu Ferengi, come the first weekend in December. Such is the growing reputation of the PIJF that most people don't ask Augustin who's playing, as the overall quality of the music is guaranteed to be good, eclectic and entertaining.
The main stage program on Saturday and Sunday, the 1st and 2nd of December, offered a little something for everyone; traditional vocal jazz from Malaysian gal Elvira Arul and R&B from American veteran Madeline Bell contrasted with the ultra-contemporary, jazz-inflected beatbox vocal gymnastics of rising star Butterscotch. Though completely different in approach, all three women have been blessed with exceptional voices. PIJF is also pretty clued in as to what's hot in Europe, and for several years now the festival has showcased Norwegian talent. Past editions saw quartet In The Country and trio PeLbO grace the main stage and this edition continued an evidently reductionist trend by featuring the piano/saxophone duo Albatrosh. Solo Norwegian artists should apply now for PIJF 2013.
For fans of contemporary jazz piano, Korean Francesca Han's and Italian Kekko Fornarelli's trios gave strikingly contrasting, yet equally absorbing performances. There was a touch of novelty and plenty of virtuosity in multiple hang-drum player Rafael Sotomayor's ensemble TheArtOfFusion, but when it came to solo virtuosity, none could match the peerless guitarist Martin Taylor' set, nestled in the middle of the program on Sunday.
A bit of roots 'n' rock from incendiary Irish trio The Deans got the crowd's adrenaline pumping and made everybody forget about the soft-yet-relentless rain. The Deans may have been a left-field departure from jazz, but as Augustin said: "You've got to keep the customers satisfied." Penang is not New York, and the audience, whilst extremely open to musical adventure, is here for a good time. If the North Sea Jazz Festival can accommodate Tom Jones and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival can present Bruce Springsteenfor the same reasons---then who's going to get worked up about an electrifying Irish rock 'n' roots trio lighting up the PIJF?
The Estudiantina Ensemble closed the festival in a celebration of the melting-pot rhythms of Cuba, a reminder to the more overzealous jazz purists who preach from their all-seated municipal theater concerts, that jazzif there ever was such a thing as a pure formbegan as dance music.
PIJF represents the most visible sign of a growing arts scene in Penang. The month-long George Town Festivalheld in the UNESCO World Heritage town that's home to Indian, Chinese and Malays living in colorful juxtapositionpromotes local talent as well as international acts. Then there's the 2nd George Town Literary Festival and the newcomer, the 10-day In-Between Arts Festival. If the arts are helping to put Penang on the map as a culturally vibrant holiday destination, and bringing plenty of tourist dollars into the Malaysian state, then the PIJF can take a large share of the credit for leading the way.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
KIM KARDASHIAN's ex-boy¬friend REGGIE BUSH has slapped her with an ultimatum: "I'll take you back if you leave me out of your reality TV show!"
The 31-year-old TV sexpot is desperate to reunite with NFL star Bush, 26, after filing for divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries following 72 days of marriage, a source told The ENQUIRER.
"Reggie would take Kim back, but he's making it absolutely clear he doesn't want their romance to appear on her show," the source divulged.
"He refuses to have the cameras follow his every step with Kim and record their private conversations."
Reggie, who plays for the Miami Dolphins, has already butted heads with Kim's mother/man¬ager Kris Jenner over her request that he phone Kim the night of her wedding, which was filmed for a two-part special on the E! network, according to the source.
"Kris wanted to have Reggie call Kim for rat¬ings," the source revealed. "He wouldn't do it."
Kim started dat¬ing Reggie in early 2007 when he played for the New Orleans Saints. They split in July 2009, got back together two months later and parted ways again in March 2010.
She began dating New Jersey Nets player Kris, 26, the following December, then tied the knot on Aug. 20 in a lavish ceremony in front of the TV cameras.
Now they're headed their separate ways and battling over Kim's 20 1/2-carat diamond engagement ring. "The jeweler discounted the ring's price by 80 per¬cent," the source noted.
"Kim believes it's right¬fully hers because Kris wouldn't have gotten the discount if it wasn't her engagement ring. She doesn't think he deserves to get it back."

i want her to go away...If he takes this dumb girl back he gets all the misery he has coming.I watched soem of their show for like the second time ever and that girl is a mess. Only spineless hen pecked negroes need apply to be with her.
Kim tried to show Reggie she was marriage material and he could care less.
She's like "look Reggie! I'd make a beautiful bride! you missed out..."
He turned around and got a broad that looks just like her.. -___-
Who wants Reginald Bush? Eew.. his breath stinks! (Yea, I smelt it) His fruity ass offered me a shot after I made his ass about 10.. I was like "nah playa.. but may I offer you one of our spearmint mints?"
Y'all know how white chicks will never let a person know they breath kickin.. explains everythang!
Open letter to Mr Bush:
Dear Reggie,
How about you focus on YOUR game instead of Kim's? I haven't seen an MVP award with your name on it yet, you haven't broken the 200-yd mark rushing for a game this season, the Dolphins kinda suck right now (sorry), and you're steady dealing with this cumbucket.
C'mon son.

This recipe is INCREDIBLE! A sweet friend shared this recipe with my husband and I after we both raved about how fantastic her coffee was a few months ago. We have been making Homemade Cinnamon Coffee for get-togethers, our small group, family, and ourselves ever since! The aroma of cinnamon coffee fills your entire home and the flavor can be as intense or subtle as you prefer. While I prefer the first or second cup with a mild cinnamon flavor, my husband likes to drink one of the last cups in the coffee pot for the full cinnamon flavor.
This is a perfect Holiday drink for guests or even for your Christmas morning coffee while you open presents! I can't wait to hear your thoughts about one of our new favorite ways to make coffee; I'm off to discover more great homemade coffee recipes… who knew it was this easy to brew such fantastic coffee!?
- 10 cups of water
- 3 whole cinnamon sticks
- 3 heaping teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 cup ground coffee (unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Pour 10 cups of water into your drip coffee machine.
2. Put 4 whole cinnamon sticks and 3 heaping teaspoons brown sugar into the glass pot.
3. Put 1 cup ground coffee and 1 teaspoon cinnamon into the brew basket. Brew and stir it well. (the longer it sits, the better it gets!)

I am new to openssl and Crypto. In existing implementation of signing process I am using PKCS7_sign to generate signature and there by default SHA-1 is applied. I want to use advanced SHA-2 hashing algorithms. But problem is that PKCS7_sign doesn't take any parameter which would imply which hashing algorithm to be applied I went through its implementation and noticed that SHA-1 is hard-coded in code.
I amusing OpenSSL 0.9.8b. I am not sure if implementation of PKCS7_sign has been changed in new releases and am looking at correct code. Please let me know if anybody has any idea about how to deal with this case.

Nnamdi Asomugha, using his length and athleticism, lunged to pluck the floating ball out of the air - interception. That's what the Eagles thought they were getting when they signed the prized free agent to a $60 million deal in the summer.
Asomugha stood and - in front of the Dallas bench - extended his arms to each side, holding the pose for more than a few moments. That's not what they expected. Asomugha is supposed to be the cool, cerebral complement to the loquacious Asante Samuel.
But for one play he seemed to revel in adulation, soaking in cheers after disappointing in the very early stages of his Eagles career. It looked like a defiant pose, though Asomugha said later that it wasn't that.

Hope Tarr is a longtime friend of Win and a published author of twenty-five contemporary and historical romance novels. Hope and 27 of her fellow romance authors compiled a unique and heart-warming collection of essays on how they met, wed or loved their significant other – one story for each day of February — of which 100% of proceeds will be donated to Win in honor of their 32nd anniversary.
Hope and her fellow authors feel that "happily ever after" isn't only the stuff of romance novels and fairy tales — it is every women's birth right. This is why Hope feels strongly about supporting Win's mission to transform the lives of homeless women who have overcome countless obstacles in the pursuit of their own happy ending for themselves and their children.
"I'm honored to support Win who, since their inception on February 14th, 1983, has worked tirelessly to bring the hope of happily ever after to disadvantaged women and their children in New York City, so they can lead independent lives and move forward to brighter futures."

Draft Beer
Even though bottled & canned beer ranks right up there with the wheel, as one of the greatest innovations in the history of man kind, we feel beer is best served on draft.
We are constantly searching the world for great beers so we can offer you a selection that represents a diverse cross section of the best craft brewing has to offer (yeah it's a tough job, but someone has to do it). We regularly change our menu to reflect the many seasonal and limited releases.
In addition, we regularly invite brewers to come to the Cantina for Pint Nights. Generally (but not always) you will be able to keep the pint glass and a brewer or representative will be here to answer your questions. Sometimes (just a hint: tell them their beer is great), if they deem you worthy, they might even buy you a pint. Check the Events Page for up coming pint nights.

June 16, 2010 A bill tabled by four representatives in the French National Assembly would dismantle many existing gun controls, and make France one of the least illiberal countries in the world. The preamble of the bill is remarkable, even if the practical proposals that follow are milder and inconsistent with the right to keep and bear arms. Yet, the bill is radical in comparison with existing gun controls and philosophy in any country except the U.S. and Switzerland. It probably has few chances of being adopted, but it shows that the debate on the right to keep and bear arms in France is not over. "Contre nous, de la tyrannie..."
May 31, 2010 Sad day for freedom of speech: Facebook has bowed before a 7th-century obscurantist and his contemporary thugs (Globe and Mail, May 31, 2010). It is more important than ever that images of Mohammed be posted on every website, spread to every little corner of the world, shown in every tent and on every wifi-equipped camel, and that the thugs be ridiculed by all lovers of liberty. Here is my humble contribution, reproduced from Mohammed Image Archive.
March 22, 2010 From his throne in Ottawa (where he leads the Bloc Québécois in the House of Commons), Gilles Duceppe has compared his separatists to the French resisters during the Second World war (Globe and Mail, March 21, 201). Far from being a resister, our Fuhrer Duceppe is a despicable element of the Québec establishment who has conspired with the English Canadian establishment to destroy our traditional liberties over the past few decades.
November 12, 2009 In 2002, Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel economics prize winner and two co-authors (Jonathan Orszag and Peter Orszag), published an article ("Implications of the New Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Risk-based Capital Standard") in Fannie Mae Papers. They argued that Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's risk-based capital standard made it very unlikely that the two GSEs (government-sponsored enterprises) would ever require a government bailout. Their results suggested that "the risk to the government from a potential default on GSE debt is effectively zero", even in "the financial and economic conditions of the Great Depression". The authors apparently underestimated the possible credit losses from a deep recession, besides ignoring the possibility that the quasi-nationalized housing market and the GSEs could themselves generate a recession. Fannie Mae and presumably the learned authors are not especially proud of this paper, which has disappeared from the GSE's site; but I have reproduced it on this site.
|October 30, 2009 A young Canadian woman has been attacked and killed by coyotes while hiking. It wouldn't have happened if she had been carrying a pistol. "If it could save only one life..." Of course, she would then have risked a mandatory minimum (thanks to the Conservatives!) of three years in jail and a maximum (thanks to the Liberals!) of 10 years.
|September 2, 2009 Marshall on Depressions: In his Principles of Economics (1920), Alfred Marshall perhaps says about depressions everything that needs to be said – in just a few paragraphs. Read my short post on The Barstool Economists.
August 30, 2009 This young woman, Cassidy Nicosia, was arested for being bare-breasted in public during a demonstration in New Hampshire. But this is not the most interesting fact of the case. She was also armed with a semi-auto pistol, which can be seen on her right hip. It is more visible in a Keene Sentinel story. (See also the New Hampshire Free Press story.) We can't see this often in our statist world: a young woman arguing with a cop while wearing a handgun on HER hip. As the moto of New Hampshire says, Live Free or Die! And good luck to Cassidy Nicosia!
|June 17, 2009 The Provincial Court judge renders her decision, which is just as expected. The Court supports the bureaucrat who denied the renewal of "my" gun licence. You can read the judge's decision in French; the English translation will soon be available. My lawyer, Richard Fritze, immediately filed an appeal (available in English as most of the documents on this case) on my behalf (on the practical licence issue) before the Superior Court. On the other hand, the constitutional challenge will be heard (by the same court!). For the whole case, see my Police Canada page.

October 4, 2008 While in Europe, I gave a speech on the right to keep and bear arms in a Swiss wine cellar. The picture below (admitedly not very politically correct my apologies to the large masses) was taken later that night. I hold the rifle given to me after my speech. See the column I published on this today at LibertyInCanada.ca or, in French, LIBERTEauCANADA.ca. Other pictures are available on my Swiss host's site as well on the site of a young professional photographer, Niels Ackerman.
|July 17, 2008 – Bob Bexon (1952-2008) died Wednesday, July 16, in a bicycle accident. A friend of liberty, he was the founder and banker of the Freedom Club, a Montréal libertarian-oriented salon. A former president of Imperial Tobacco, he was an iconoclastic, unruly, and fun person. He will be sorely missed by his friends and by all friends of liberty.

|December 10, 2007 Today, Conrad Black was condemned to 6½ years in jail. Read my columns on this case over the years: when the inquisition began in 2004 (in the Western Standard), after Conrad was indicted (in the Western Standard), and when the jury verdict was rendered in July 2007 (in the Ottawa Citizen). The picture above (click on it to get a larger one) was taken at George Jonas's birthday party, in Toronto, on June 18, 2005.
|December 10, 2007 There is apparently a movement within British police to ask for the right to strike. By all means, says the Libertarian Alliance in London, which calls "on the British Police Federation to urge their members to vote for the right to strike -- then to call them out on strike and to stay on strike". The L.A.'s press release is a must read.
|December 7, 2007 Bruce Montague and his wife found guilty by a Kenora, Ontario, jury. Read the story in the local newspaper. Visit the Montagues' website and contribute to their defence against the inquisitors.
1, 2007 A"Notice
of refusal to issue a fireams licence", from the provincial police,
dated November 22, 2007. The reason is clearly stated in the letter:
"Did not supply all the information required by the Firearms Act, The [sic] Regulations for firearms permits, or any other applicable regulation, the application for renewal of a firerams licence in order to obtain the Licence (art. 54(1)a Firearms Act. [sic]. Question 6d) section C Personal History: 'My love affairs are none of your business / Ça ne vous regarde pas.' "
Read a pdf scan of the letter. (All this is in English for my readers' convenience and the whole wide world to see.) To learn more about the whole story see the second item below.
By the way, by clicking on the logo above, you can verify (alas! only in French) that the the Sûreté du Québec's Firearms Control Service is under the Directorate for State Security (look at the bottom right corner of their organization chart).
|November 28, 2007 Police to start "inspections" (warrantless searches) of old gun owners' homes in Toronto. Read the November 23, 2007, letter sent by the Ontario "Chief Firearms Officer" to the Canadian Shooting Sports Association. As a friend recently told me, it's looking more and more like the Soviet Union here.
|November 27, 2007 Gun
registration is not confiscation, eh? Look at what happens in Canada
when one is sucker enough to register guns, but later refuses to reply
Police Canada's question 6(d) about his love life. This question asks, �During
the past two (2) years, have you experienced a divorce, a separation,
a breakdown of a significant relationship, job loss or bankruptcy?� I
wrote, �My love affairs are none of your business.� See
the registered
letter I received today from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's
Canada Firearms Centre. See my complete
licence application form, with the no answer to 6(d). Or check the ungoing
story of the whole affair. Will I be the first Canadian to be jailed
for refusing to tell the state about his love life? Not the last one,
I fear.
If you read French, you may want to read my Confessions d'un coureur des bois hors-la-loi (Montréal: Varia, 2001), about my previous clashes with the Canadian gun-control bureaucracy, alias Police Canada. The book is now available freely in electronic format on the Classiques des sciences sociales website.
|November 18, 2007 Published as a letter in the National Post: Robert Dziekanski's death (see the video on YouTube) is not due to missing Canadian kindness, as one reported eulogy would have it. It is due to missing limitations on the power of the state, and lacking humility by its agents. It is due to the state and its armed agents running wild.
|November 18, 2007 Wednesday and Friday news stories about the on-going criminal trial of Bruce and Donna Montague. Read also the column I wrote when Bruce was arrested, and my column about him as one of three witches pursued by state inquisitors. Visit the Bruce Montague website and contribute to the Montague's defence. It's important: Bruce and Donna will either save others from going to jail, or else they will only be the first civil resisters to be jailed. We are talking about real people and real (vanishing) liberties.
|October 30, 2007 I have written a paper on illegal markets: in light of the economic literature, it looks into the causes and extent of, and solutions to, the underground economy. It is available in French and English pdf's.
|July 11, 2007 CUFOA hero Ed Hudson is fighting the seizure of his hunting firearm while he was hunting without a gun licence in 2003. The state has not yet dared to prosecute Dr. Hudson for owning firearms without the licence required since the late 1990s. Dr. Hudson has asked for affidavits (see the judicial file and the affidavits here) to support his claim that the gun-control legislation of 1995 is unconstitutional. My affidavit was sworn today. It states, among other things, that I have been without a gun licence since July 6, 2007, presumably for refusing to answer a question obut my love affairs. See a fac simile of my affidavit here.
|July 6, 2007 What they call "my" gun licence (see the thing here) expired yesterday, July 5, 2007, on the day of my 60th birthday. No praetorian has phoned, I have received nothing in the mail and so, as far as I know, the licence has not been renewed. I am thus technically a criminal for refusing to answer the state's question about my love affairs. I am proud of defending our traditional liberties and resisting the infantilization of "citizens". Read the whole story.
18, 2007 An exaggeration, this
new Québec
flag? But note the soft colours. Who's against soft facism, a Tocquevillian
administrative tyranny, a THX-1138 Nice State? Children are mass murdered in
the state's gun-free schools by other children who have spent their lives being
educated in the same state schools, and what does our Pygmy tyrant does? As a
good Little Brother and fan of the central government, it adds to the already
gun laws. It
a law that
(1) declares what is already the case (and part of the problem), that is, schools
free except
the criminals who commit
mass murders there, (2) promotes the development of a society of state snitches,
and (3) further harasses gun owners who were suckers enough to get licences and
register their guns (some of which have since
been declared "prohibited"). Nice society!

|June 5, 2007 Is there one politician in the world for whom an individual concerned with our liberties (or what's left of them) would want to vote? Perhaps there is. If you live in the U.S., vote for Ron Paul in the upcoming presidential election. Check also this video.
|June 2, 2007 Have
you ever wanted to know what is Form 979, required to renew (it's more
complicated for first-time applicants) a firearms license in Canada?
Have you ever wanted to see how a descendent of the disobedient
French Canadian coureurs des bois fills it in? This is your lucky
day. As a public service, I make "my" form available in full-text,
as I sent it to the Prime Minister of Canada himself earlier this week. JUST
In today's National Post (Saturday, June 2), George Jonas has a nice column on this and related issues.
18, 2007 At
least they admit it (in French). The Québec Provincial Police
(Sûreté du Québec) has a Department of
Gun Control (Service du contrôle des armes à feu)
which enforces the related federal "laws" in Québec.
What is interesting is that this department reports to another bureaucratic
layer called the "Directorate of the Protection of the State" or,
alternatively translated, the "Directorate for State Security" (Direction
de la protection de l'État). No joke! You can check this
on the
organization chart on their website. In case
they decide, after all, to hide this embarassing fact and remove the
file, it is reproduced
on this website.
Thanks to Yvon Dionne for pointing this out to me.
An artistic rendering of the Sûreté du Québec's logo is reproduced above. You can find another one here.
|April 21, 2007 A Toronto Star columnist asks, "why do we need to own a weapon whose sole purpose is to kill?" He must have watched too many James Bond, for he obviously believes that state agents like policemen have a licence to kill. In fact, the non-criminal purpose of a gun is to protect your life and liberty, and others'. Guns, like cars or communications, have, for better or for worse, different purposes for different individuals.
|March 25, 2007 The first book I published (Du libéralisme à l'anarcho-capitalisme, Paris, Presses Universitaires de France, 1983) has just been republished in an electronic version at "Les Classiques des sciences sociales" (http://classiques.uqac.ca/), one of the most important on-line social science publishers in the French world. The book was on the relations between classical liberalism and anarcho-capitalism. Simultaneously, the Classiques des sciences sociales have also published an electronic version of my little Confessions d'un coureur des bois hors-la-loi (Montréal, Varia, 2001), with Jacques Plamondon's foreword and Claire Joly's afterword. This book is more subversive and literary: it's "littérature de combat" as we would say in French. But it is not less important. It's about the right to keep and bear arms in the French-Canadian tradition, and my 15-year battle against gun (people) controls.

2007 Regular visitors

|February 18, 2006 In April 1741, the première of Voltaire's play Le fanatisme ou Mahomet le prophète ("Fanaticism and Prophet Muhammad") was presented in Lille (France). In our repressive times, no doubt this would be impossible, as Voltaire was not very kind for Islam (nor for other organized religions, as the play is usually interpreted). If you read French, see the nastiest excerpts of the play, presented by Alain Laurent. The full text of this work of Voltaire is available on Gallica.

Well it's easier than building a house, but why? You can buy perfectly good Savage that will shoot bug holes right off the rack? Is this just for the experience of building your own or are you trying to save money or what?
FWIW with the screw on barrel lug it is actually quite easy to set the headspace - it is much harder with other systems so in the big picture of it all putting a Savage all together is simpler than say building a Remington from parts.

If you can change the oil in your car, you can do about anything to a Savage. A barrel change takes about 20 minutes. But unless you want an odd caliber (like my 223AI, 6.5x47 Lapua, or 338-06), you probably should just buy someting factory. You've got to have something to build off of anyway.
February 8, 2008, 06:22 PM
The Savage is just about the easiest rifle to work on that I know of. I have 2 Savage 110's one is factory(except for a Rifle Basix trigger), The other one is an ongoing project of mine, currently in 35 Whelen with a new trigger, recoil lug, bolt head, bolt handle, etc...I will be glass and pillar bedding it soon, and then I will put my new Ziess 3-9X40 on it :)

A New Mexico veteran who lived through the horrific Bataan Death march never talked much about his ordeal, but his son has plenty to say about him.
"He was a good father -- a hero," said the man's son, Alfred Savedra.
Elias Savedra was one of the state's last remaining Bataan survivors. He was one of hundreds of soldiers taken captive in the Philippines during World War II. They were forced to march 65 miles, and many of the soldiers didn't make it.
He died of natural causes earlier this month at his home in San Rafeal. He was 96.
"I asked him a question about, over there, and he broke down and said, 'I don't want to bring any memories back,' you know," said Alfred Savedra.

The success of the existing undergraduate courses and degrees in Spanish Translation together with the successful startup of a Graduate Diplomate in Spanish Translation and Interpreting have lead the Department of Modern Languages to propose a new undergraduate BA Major Degree in Spanish Translation and Interpreting. While this degree is expected to start during the 2009-2010 academic year, most of the required coursework can already be taken within the current course offering.
The program will help future practitioners of the art and science of Translation and Interpreting to play a vital role in shaping the global society of the 21st century. The program will contribute to the development of the analytical skills, cultural literacy, linguistic competence, and professionalism needed to become superior translators and interpreters.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish Translation and Interpreting will require 33 hours in Translation courses with a grade of "C" or better, 21 of which must be upper division. It also requires 6 hours in advanced Spanish or Translation electives (39 hours in total). Students earning all related credit hours (+ General Education Core requirements) will additionally qualify for the existing Associate in Arts degree in Spanish Translation.
The program is also designed to allow for a possible double major with a total of 120 Cr. Hrs. (BA in Spanish Translation and Interpreting + BA in Spanish).
It also allows for a highly recommended (existing) Minor in French Language and Translation. The proposed Bachelor of Arts Major Degree program in Spanish Translation and Interpreting, in combination with our currently existing Minor program in French Language and Translation would make it possible for students pursuing a solid professional empowerment to develop a complete translation and interpreting curriculum to match the standard international requirements usually consisting of a combination of three operational languages.

R. Kelly Actually Loses a Legal Case
Shiny-domed R&B singer Ne-Yo has done the seemingly impossible — actually defeated R. Kelly in a court of law!By Amos Barshad
Shiny-domed R&B singer Ne-Yo has done the seemingly impossible — actually defeated R. Kelly in a court of law!By Amos Barshad
Vulture counts down our five favorite tracks from Kellz's new album.
Kellz returns with a new record, which, while still completely insane, does not totally display his typical genius.
We didn't even know it was done yet!
Plus: New music from Beck and the Faint.
Plus: R. Kelly accused of intimidating witness, recording gospel album.
It's a summery ode to Kellz's inexhaustible virility (as usual), enhanced by an Auto-Tune for which T-Pain is, happily, in no way responsible.
A Chicago jury has found R. Kelly not guilty on fourteen counts of child pornography.
A sequestered juror had a hamburger-related outburst in a restaurant last night.
Come on, man — R. Kelly has a lot on his mind today!
It was revealed that a DVD of the infamous sex tape given to Kelly's lawyers by the prosecution two weeks ago was not an exact copy.
To commemorate the near-end of his child-pornography trial, Kelly released a new single. We can't believe it either.
Given that the prosecution's had six years to build their case, couldn't they have found a better star witness?
Two mysterious men from Kansas City are expected to give an explosive press conference tomorrow that will purportedly be "big news" and "reveal all."
Chicago 'Sun-Times' music critic Jim DeRogatis — who passed Kelly's alleged sex tape to police in 2002 — is a no-show in court today, despite an order from the judge to arrive at 10 a.m.
Yesterday, jurors were subjected to the testimony of forensic-video analyst Grant Fredericks when they probably really just wanted to hear about threesomes.
You won't believe who it is!
The trial of the century was adjourned early yesterday — because of a surprise witness! Who is it? We speculate!
Fireworks are expected in the courtroom at R. Kelly's child-pornography trial today … Hey, have you heard the new R. Kelly single?
A witness is set to testify that R. Kelly paid her off to return a sex tape.

Those looking to invest their money in the stock market should look at more than a company's most recent quarter and fiscal full-year totals. Besides judging a company by its P/E ratio, investors should research a company's compound annual growth rate as well as its comparable-store sales growth rate to assess its continued progress in its industry. These metrics are particularly important because the longer the time period -- at least a few years -- the more telling the results.
Since it happens to be the season of holiday deals and promotions, investors are keeping a close eye on which retailers are getting the most traffic through their stores and e-commerce sites. Who is ultimately leading the way with the most annual sales growth along with the highest earnings growth: Macy's (NYSE: M ) , Kohl's (NYSE: KSS ) , Dillard's (NYSE: DDS ) , or J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP ) ?
Looking at a company's growth rate
At the end of each fiscal year, it is important to calculate a company's growth rate over the past three to five years as well as its comparable-store sales growth rate. A company's compound annual growth rate will tell investors how quickly or slowly a company has been growing for a set number of years. This figure allows investors to more easily decide if the company is worth investing in. A shareholder in a company will often sell his or her shares if the company has been losing ground rather than making headway.
Taking into account comparable-store sales
In addition, with every passing quarter and fiscal year, identifying a company's year-over-year comparable-store sales growth rate is beneficial in knowing how its same-store sales are doing. A company can have a high comparable-store sales growth rate, but only own a handful of stores, which doesn't say much. On the other hand, a combination of a large number of stores along with a positive and rising comparable-store sales growth rate evidences that a company is doing extremely well as a whole.
Leading the way in retail sales
Listed in the table below are the growth rates for the following retailers: Macy's, Kohl's, Dillard's, and J.C. Penney. These figures allow us to see which retailer has been growing the fastest and which is hardly growing at all.
Company Name
Compound Annual Growth for Past 3 Fiscal Years
FY 2012 Comparable Store Sales Growth
FY 2011 Comparable Store Sales Growth
J.C. Penney
As one can see, Macy's has been the most consistent retailer in terms of growing overall sales and comparable-store sales. Kohl's, on the other hand, appears to be staying in place. Investors looking for a dynamic and growing company may want to take a pass on Kohl's. Dillard's, though, is actually doing reasonably well, especially compared to J.C. Penney or even Kohl's.
Like Macy's, Dillard's comparable-store sales growth for the past two fiscal years was pretty solid and the company's growth increased as a whole. It's no secret, though, that J.C. Penney has been struggling as its comparable-store sales diminished all-together. Hopefully, with J.C. Penney's latest business model and sales strategies in place, the company will be able to turn things around, and perhaps J.C. Penney's figures will look better in the next few fiscal years to come.
Foolish takeaway
With any good investment, looking at certain metrics is a good way to determine whether or not a company will be valuable to one's portfolio. Although compound annual growth and comparable-store sales are good prospects for investigation, they should not be the only measures accounted for in one's research on a company. Based on the information discussed above, investors would be wise to do more research on Macy's and Dillard's.
Where else can you find great growth?
They said it couldn't be done. But David Gardner has proved them wrong time, and time, and time again with stock returns like 926%, 2,239%, and 4,371%. In fact, just recently one of his favorite stocks became a 100-bagger. And he's ready to do it again.

David Beckham insists his personal involvement with Major League Soccer is not over after ending his five-year stay in the United States in style.
The former England captain and United icon bowed out after five years with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Cup final, with his side seeing off Houston Dynamo 3-1 to take the trophy for the second year in a row.
It was a triumphant finale to 37-year-old Beckham's American odyssey, though when he made the move from Real Madrid in 2007 he had claimed he was partly motivated by the chance to promote his sport in the USA.
He has yet to reveal where he will play next, though he has no shortage of lucrative offers awaiting his attention. But regardless of his destination, he claims the MLS will remain important to him.
"This is very special for us. To win at our own home is fantastic," he said.
"I always said I was going to stick by it. When I'm committed to something I'm committed to the end.
"It's sad that it is the end; this has been a special place for me and continues to be special to me.
"I'm happy to have been part of this for nearly six years and to have been successful with this club for four years.
"I'm going to continue my commitment to this league, this country and this sport. My commitment stays the same to growing this league and growing the sport in this country."
Asked where he would be playing next, Beckham responded by playing to the fans in California's Home Deport Centre.
"I have no idea, what's more important is that I'm happy I'm wearing this (Galaxy) uniform today," he said.
Beckham is confident he has enough energy to justify one last move before ending his career, but admitted he would enjoy a rest while mulling over his options.
He added: "I feel tired right now but I'll be alright for while more.
"I'll continue to play, go get some rest over Christmas and decide where to go."

It's fine to whack back the ornamental grasses. I like to bundle them first with twine around the midsection, then cut them with power shears a few inches from the ground. They topple neatly like a tree - ready to carry away.
This is also a great time to clean up by: 1.) raking leaves that are matting down on beds and the lawn; 2.) pruning off any browned-out perennials; 3.) yanking weeds; 4.) cleaning up any debris that's blown in over winter, and 5.) giving a neat edge to the bed perimeters.
Now's also a good time to prune most trees. It's easier to see what you're doing with the leaves off. Less messy, too. The only drawback is you'll give up some of the flowers if you prune spring bloomers such as dogwood, cherries and crabapples.
In another couple of weeks, go ahead and prune back later-blooming flowering shrubs, such as butterfly bush, rose-of-sharon, roses, vitex, tree-type hydrangeas and caryopteris. (Basically anything that blooms from mid-June on is a shrub best pruned around late March. Prune the spring bloomers like azaleas, lilacs and weigelas right after they're done blooming.)
Also in late March, trim evergreens such as yews, boxwoods, hemlocks and arborvitae (if they need it). Wait until this year's new growth occurs on pines and spruce to prune them.
I think it's a hair early to fertilize. I like to make sure the ground is thawed for good before doing that. So I scatter organic fertilizer (Holly-tone or Flower-tone) over my flower beds around the end of March. April rains dissolve it and carry it in pretty quickly then. Fertilizer applied on frozen ground can run off.
It's also a little early to fertilize the lawn - especially if you use crabgrass control. Early April is the best time for that, or ideally when forsythia is in full bloom. I use organic fertilizer on my lawn (Turf-tone or Espoma's Organic Lawn Food), but I do it only twice a year - early October and early May. If you're doing the traditional "four-step" chemical lawn program, those are best applied early April, about 8 weeks later, then right around Labor Day, then late October or early November.
One other thing you can do now - assuming the ground isn't soggy - is dig new beds, work compost into existing annual-flower and veggie beds, and get any fencing and cages ready.
That oughta be enough to keep you busy for awhile. Thanks for serving.
