Lindy Cameron
Lindy Cameron is the author of the Bryn Gideon and Kit O'Malley series as well as true crime.
Lindy is an Australian writer of crime fiction and fact – who long ago gave up the fantasy of growing up to be a famous scientist. The fact that she still harbours a desire to be an astronaut, a warrior chick or a Apache Helicopter pilot would hint that she perhaps hasn't, however, grown up much at all.
Lindy's latest fiction is the adventure thriller Redback featuring the very cool Bryn Gideon and her team of retrieval agents. Redback was on of the first three books published by Clan Destine Press.
Lindy's first published novel was the archaeological adventure Golden Relic. Before being a paperback it was serialised a chapter a month, for 10 months, on the internet as a promotional lead-up to the prestigious International Council of Museums conference held in Melbourne in 1998. Golden Relic was actually commissioned by the Museum of Victoria (Australia) for ICOM '98; which means Lindy was probably the first writer to earn money from the then fledgling internet. Golden Relic has now come full circle back to the internet and is now an eBook.
Her second novel, Blood Guilt – and its two sequels, featuring Melbourne PI Kit O'Malley – Bleeding Hearts and Thicker Than Water – now have a splendid new lease on life with her American publisher Bywater Books. Bleeding Hearts won the Readers' Vote in Australia's two major crime writing awards: the Ned Kelly Awards in 2001 and the Davitt Awards in 2002. Thicker Than Water won the Davitt Readers' Vote in 2004.
Before plunging into the world of make-believe, Lindy worked as a journalist and a book editor.
She also wrote some primary school history texts; and a card game book for kids.
She is a founding member of Sisters in Crime Australia, and has been a National Co-Convenor of and editor of the group's magazine Stiletto for nearly tweo decades.
Somehow, in the last little while, Lindy has also found herself writing and commissioning anthologies of true crime. She is therefore also the contributing editor of Meaner Than Fiction and Outside the Law 2; editor of Outside the Law 3.
With her sister, Fin J. Ross, she co-wrote Killer in the Family (not her own!); and she is also co-author, with Ruth Wykes, of Women Who Kill (again, no one she knows!)
Lindy much prefers to make things up, however, and is currently working on the sequel to Redback; and a YA urban fantasy time-travelling adventure.
In 2010 she entered the realm of the completely adventurous by starting her own publishing company. She launched Clan Destine Press with Kerry Greenwood's historical novel Out of the Black Land; her own Redback; and Dougal's Diary by David Greagg.
Lindy aims to publish the best Aussie genre fiction she can find – and a few more cat books, just for the hell of it.
Commander Bryn Gideon and the crack Australian 'Redback Retrieval Team' rescue hostages from a
Around the globe there are: ritual killings in London and Tokyo; a bomb on a European train; an assassination on an Australian beach; and an explosion on an US army base. Are these the work of isolated opportunistic terrorists, or part of something more sinister?
Gideon's Redbacks find themselves in a race to expose the ultimate conspiracy of a truly evil force
Celia Robinson is paying Private Investigator Kit O'Malley big money to find out what her husband Geoffrey is up to with a blonde, a redhead, and the business cohorts of entrepreneur Ian Dalkeith.
Enduring a heatwave and fighting the inanimate objects that are out to get her are the hardest parts of Kit's assignment– until a body is found floating in the Robinson's ornamental fish pond.
While the cops pursue their own line of inquiry, Celia's daughter Quinn hires Kit to find the killer and Celia's missing butler. What Kit doesn't count on is Quinn's determination to be involved in the case.To make matters worse Quinn brings along her lawyer, the very sexy Alexis Cazenove.
After the discovery of another body and a near miss with a homicidal drive, Kit realises she's getting close to something big– even if the truth seems to be that everyone has a secret.
Poison pens can draw blood... and that's exactly why TV presenter Rebecca Jones hires private eye Kit O'Malley to investigate threats against her. But the trouble with being tenacious, tough and too smart for her own good is that everybody else wants Kit on their team too – at the same time.
Cases involving money laundering, sordid sexual shenanigans, political sleaze and abduction among Melbourne's movers and shakers threatens to swamp Kit as she picks her way through the morass of greed, treachery and murder.
As if that's not enough, the beautiful Alex Casenove sweeps back into her life, reminding Kit that love is almost as deadly as hate and that murder never happens at a convenient time.
When a bloodless corpse turns up in her favourite bar and the wrong cop is assigned to the case
But, when the body turns out to be a member of a notorious Melbourne crime family, a bad situation gets a whole lot worse as this man's death could spark a gangland war.
Already knowing that bent cops are just as dangerous as desperate crooks, Kit picks her way through the city's underworld and ends up in the kitchen of crime matriarch Queenie Riley.
With her friends in danger, Kit has to stay on top of events that are fast moving beyond her control.
When Professor Lloyd Marsden is found murdered in the old Museum of Victoria, someone thinks it's an attempt to sabotage a forthcoming and highly prestigous international museum conference.
Special Detective Sam Diamond, of the Australian Crime Bureau's Cultural Affairs Department, is therefore assigned to help homicide cops Jack Rigby and Hercules Rivers catch the killer.
Thrown into a world of obsessive collectors, strange poisons, funerary rites and ancient artefacts, Sam's photographic memory and cryptic crossword skills are invaluable tools in her investigation.
But when archaelogist Dr Maggie Tremaine steps into the picture– with news that some of Marsden's old colleagues have also died in mysterious ways – Sam discovers that sometimes the answers only lead to more questions.
Sam and Maggie join forces to chase a dead man's clues around the world– from Australia via Egypt to Peru – on a strange quest for the truth and a mythical golden relic.
It's chilling to think there are women amongst us who kill simply because they can. Women who kill
Women Who Killexplores over a dozen murders in Australia and New Zealand, where women have taken the lives of loved ones and strangers for the thrill of it.
True crime writers Lindy Cameron and Ruth Wykes examine the evidence and look inside the hearts and minds of women who end the lives of others because it gives them power, because it arouses them, because human life has no value, because the victim had something they wanted.
Take a trip into the dark and forbidding worlds of Catherine Birnie, Tania Herman, Irene Maslin, Kath Knight, Vicky Efandis, Shirley Withers, Valerie Parashumti and other women killers
Two-thirds of Australian homicide victims are killed in their own homes...by someone they know.
Authors Lindy Cameron and Fin J. Ross explore the horror of domestic homicide.
Killer in the Family explores more than 20 convicted killers, including: Robert Farquharson, twice-convicted and given life in prison for the drowning murders of his three young sons.
John Sharpe, who murdered his wife and baby daughter with a spear gun and then dismembered them.
Matthew De Gruchy, who viciously murdered his mother, sister and brother.
Michelle Burgess, who hired a hitman to kill her lover's wife and her own husband, so she could be with her lover; but then had an affair with the hitman.

overviewsplit sides is a work for the full company of fourteen dancers. each design element was made in two parts, by one or two artists, or, in the case of the music, by two bands. the order in which each element is presented is determined by chance procedure at the time of the performance. mathematically, there are thirty-two different possible versions of split sides. (the coordination of concept and collaborators was by trevor carlson, at the time general manager of the company.) the piece was first given during the companys 50th anniversary season at bam (brooklyn academy of music), 14 october 2003.
the choreography, also in two parts, each twenty minutes in length, was made, as with all of cunninghams dances since 1991, with the use of the computer program danceforms. there are a number of ensemble (often unison) passages, and also solos, duets that feature much inventive partnering, and trios.
split sides was a departure for mcdc in that, for the first time, the music was by two bands: radiohead, the british alternative rock group, and sigur rós, the experimental group from iceland. radiohead played live for the first performance only, sigur rós for many subsequent performances. at later performances, elements of radioheads contribution were played back in a recording, with some manipulation by mcdc musicians. neither band had seen the dance company before; the musicians of sigur rós constructed a kind of xylophone made of pointe shoes, connected to contact microphones.
split sides was commissioned by the bite: 04 barbican, london and the benedicta arts center of the college of saint benedict, st. joseph, mn, and was co-commissioned by the center dance association of the music center of los angeles county, the carlsen center at johnson county community college, overland park, ks, and the brooklyn academy of music, brooklyn, ny. split sides was made possible, in part, by support from the howard gilman foundation, the rudolf nureyev dance foundation, phyllis wattis, and members of the new works commissioners circle, and through public support from the national endowment for the arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. commissioning of the music for split sides was made possible by a gift from jill f. bonovitz. underwriting of décor by catherine yass was provided by harriette and noel levine.

Members of the public are being encouraged to anonymously report people they believe are benefiting from the proceeds of crime. Watch the video.
Hertfordshire Constabulary yesterday launched the county-wide Too Much Bling? Give us a ring' campaign, which asks people to look out for anyone who is living an unusually lavish lifestyle.
Working in partnership with Crimestoppers, officers will focus on drug dealers, car thieves and burglars. Seized property can be reinvested into police forces to help the fight against crime.
Detective Superintendent Mark Drew of the Serious and Organised Crime Group is leading the campaign. He said: "Our powers allow us to seriously disrupt criminals and stop them flaunting the profits of their crimes in your community.
"Your calls will help remove those negative role models from our society, who think it's acceptable to drive fancy cars, wear expensive jewellery and flash their cash, which have all been funded through illegal activity. We'll show them it's not."
Police have the power to strip criminals of any assets funded through crime. Seized property which has been reinvested has in the past included homes, a Ferrari, a Porsche and expensive clothes and jewellery.

Peter Camilletti, chairman of Hertfordshire Crimestoppers, said: "It's important people get in touch with us with any information about someone they suspect is living their life funded through crime, so the police can act."
Since the beginning of the financial year in April, Hertfordshire Constabulary has been granted confiscation orders worth almost £1.1 million and seized more than £300,000 in cash.
If there is someone you suspect of benefiting from crime you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Skip to comments.CSIC researchers find the exact spot where Julius Caesar was stabbed
Posted on 10/10/2012 8:46:06 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
A concrete structure of three meters wide and over two meters high, placed by order of Augustus (adoptive son and successor of Julius Caesar) to condemn the assassination of his father, has given the key to the scientists. This finding confirms that the General was stabbed right at the bottom of the Curia of Pompey while he was presiding, sitting on a chair, over a meeting of the Senate. Currently, the remains of this building are located in the archaeological area of Torre Argentina, right in the historic centre of the Roman capital...
Classical sources refer to the closure (years after the murder) of the Curia, a place that would become a chapel-memory. CSIC researcher explains: "We know for sure that the place where Julius Caesar presided over that session of the Senate, and where he fell stabbed, was closed with a rectangular structure organized under four walls delimiting a Roman concrete filling. However, we don't know if this closure also involved that the building ceased to be totally accessible".
Spaces of the assassination of Caesar
In Torre Argentina, in addition to the Curia of Pompey, researchers have started to study the remains of the Portico of the Hundred Columns (Hecatostylon). The aim is to identify what connecting links can be established between archaeology, art history, and cinema in these spaces of the death of Julius Caesar. Monterroso adds: "We also aim to better understand that sense of closure and dismal place described in classical texts".
The two buildings are part of the monumental complex (about 54.000 square meters) that Pompey the Great, one of the greatest military in the history of Rome, built in the capital to commemorate his military successes in the East around the year 55 BC.

caesar's cremation spot
Beats being shot in the fracas.
So this fella Antonio Monterrosa has stolen my nom de FR...
I thought he was stabbed in his chest.
According to historical accounts he enjoyed being stabbed in allot of uncomfortable places.
Fianlly made it to Italy a few years back.The darn tour group raced right past the Senate steps. AARRGH!
But only the chest wound was considered a 'fatal blow'.
[however, I'm sure being generously and vigorously perforated renders that a moot point]
And so begins yet another senseless Mediterranian vendeta....
Funny how these things start. Cross a creek with an army, and the next thing you know, you're stabbed in the forum.
HE was stabbed in his salad bowel.
My son lived in a hotel very near that site while studying architecture at the University of Notre Dame. He was astonished to see the flowers still left there daily in memory of Caesar.
A dithmal plath indeed! Juth thinking of it maketh my liver quiver.
Biggus Diccus
Caesar was only a few days from leaving Rome for the safety of his army. I wonder how history would have played out had he lived?
He would likely have subdued the Dacians centuries before Trajan would do so. He mostly likely would have defeated the Parthians and avenged the disaster at Carrhae, but would it have been purely a punitive campaign or would he have carved out new Roman provinces in the Middle East and beyond?
Would Caesar have founded the Principate instead of Octavian? Would Octavian have succeeded Caesar and still become Augustus?
Anyway, Roman-related posts are always appreciated.
That was gossip about Caesar's relationship with King Nicomedes of Bithynia. Was it true? It's impossible to say now. Caesar always denied it, and his enemies always used the gossip against him.
LOL! That calls for a rimshot.
[spot where Julius Caesar was stabbed...]
We also know where America was stabbed in the back...obama's inauguration.
Oops my bad. If I had read the post your post was referring to, I wouldn't have posted my post.
Mistakenly I thought your post was responding to his being stabbed in the forum.
Looks just like Detroit!
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
At the end of the day, truly, Brutus WAS an honorable man.
It was a rather feeble attempt at a joke.
I'm not giving up my day job.
Amo Roma...
OH darn it, then I was right in laughing out loud.
And your post was not feeble in the least. So little is humorous these days,
so many worries about our great Nation. Your post made me laugh.
Then I second guessed it, read more in the thread and realized,
that is, thought, that I was laughing inappropriately. Just argh, lol.
Long ago there was a billboard advertising Lay's potato chips.
It cracked me up just like your post.
The billboard portrayed two men dressed in ancient Roman garments, one obviously
portraying Julius Caesar.
There were just two words on the billboard:
Et one, Brutus?
LOL...good billboard.
I have to keep laughing because if I don't, I'm afraid I might start screaming.
That's exactly how I feel.
Pretty cool.
That's two words in Biden Math, maybe...
Ha ha, touché, Bruté.
On the other hand, there actually
were just two words and one name.
I thought it took place in Rome?
"I thought he was stabbed in Rome."
Et Tu Brutus? What's for lunch?
Morning Johnny!
Beats being shot in the fracas.
*Redd Foxx could have explained it... /g
*(Man, am I feeling old these days...)
Be patient till the last.
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
—Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his
fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
None, Brutus, none.
Then none have I offended. I have done no more to
Caesar than you shall do to Brutus. The question of
his death is enrolled in the Capitol; his glory not
extenuated, wherein he was worthy, nor his offences
enforced, for which he suffered death.
Enter ANTONY and others, with CAESAR's body
Here comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony: who,
though he had no hand in his death, shall receive
the benefit of his dying, a place in the
commonwealth; as which of you shall not? With this
I depart,—that, as I slew my best lover for the
good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself,
when it shall please my country to need my death.
Live, Brutus! live, live!
Brutus was an honorable man. J. Caeasar began the consolidation of power in Rome and the destruction of the Roman Republic:He succeeded.
Brutus is my guy, not J. Caesar, Maximum Leader.
I always thought he was stabbed on the steps to the Temple Julia.
Julius Caesar was murdered by Brutus and a bunch of other greedy murderers from a hereditary elitist oligarchy who screwed soldiers out of everything they owned, even to the point of putting serving soldiers' families into slavery. Republican Rome was a hideous system; the Roman Empire became an actual republic, but with a permanent chief executive. This transformation into a more open society led to an inevitable decline, which meant that the Roman Empire, in various forms but in continuity, to last a mere fifteen more centuries. Its last remnant fell in to the Turks in 1453.
Hey, you're being a little hard on these ruins of ancient Rome, doncha think? ;')
:') Sounds great, and I'm a little jealous.
Some years earlier Pompey had been hired by the backstabbing Senate to clear the pirates (he was the one they wanted, but he'd been burned by them before, and just claimed to have no further interest in public life, to the point that he got exactly what he wanted from them). Pompey had also removed a threat in the east years earlier, and the 2nd c BC the remains of one of the spinoff Alexandrian kingdoms was eliminated and Greece had been conquered. Carthage had been destroyed by an earlier generation.
Caesar's pattern was to eliminate threats to Italy. The Gauls were still the biggest threat in the minds of Romans and other Italians due to the Gallic invasion that was far beyond living memory. Caesar's shattering of the Gallic tribes and two attempts to establish a bridgehead in Britain suggests his eventual course of action.
Instead, as a consequence of the civil war, he wound up snuffing the other nearby spinoff Alexandrian kingdom (Egypt) using, what, a half a legion? His conquest of Egypt was his masterpiece, or at least one of them. :') By that time his two peers, allies, and older contemporaries were dead (Pompey and Crassus). He cultivated allies, and had an obvious knack for recognizing ability.
Octavian was quite young when Caesar was assassinated, but had learned well, and wound up systematically building an effective and highly loyal cadre. He was blessed to find Agrippa, who had a rare combo of logistical planning and snap decisionmaking in the heat of battle. Agrippa played Caesar to Antony's Pompey.
Octavian also wound up with perhaps the best one-two punch any Roman family produced for the army, Tiberius and Drusus. They solidified Gaul and cleaned out the entire Rhineland frontier, and as loving brothers (some said half-brothers) never had doubts about each other. Often in long-lived political systems, the greatest are found at the beginning, and the Roman Empire definitely fits that.

Tip/Waist/Tail: 130-98-119
Length: 173, 180, 187
How wide is an everyday all-mountain ski these days? Atomic's new Vantage series starts at 87 mm. The Alibi, at 98 mm, is second widest. In the extra-competitive Mixed West, testers were picking nits, dinging it for un-Atomic-like indifference on hard snow, where its broad, smeary shovel is a bit of a liability. But throw some powder at it and the Alibi comes to life equal parts smooth, playful, and gutsy. "A great Western ski with a preference for loose snow." NOTES: Atomic's Vantage series uses a rocker/camber blend, step down sidewalls, and an integrated "backbone" for maximum versatility on all snow conditions. The Alibi has a 98-millimeter waist and an integrated Ti backbone for lightweight edge hold in a variety of terrain

Cell application advancement provides with a various purchaser bottom. While it's consumption will be realized with regard to different intents, a expanded activity is being observed with this industry.
Mobile industry created their penny stocks about to take off (www.organize-personal-finance.soft-organize.com) humble beginnings with concentrations which granted fundamental functions. Currently, purposes for act such as difficult with compound while monitory deals via portables are being created. This can be paving method for a fresh traditions associated with mobile banking.
The primary kind exactly where cell phone requests uncovered immense acceptance stayed for matches with this kind of enjoyment based products. With the integration regarding world wide web inside portables, quite a few possibilities with areas of expansion for portable app have got launched in place. The momentum of function progress has sped up in a mind-numbing tempo so when an end result, right now we have a good effort for each class.
Portable functions are making it possible to interchange normal, standard process with an increase of improvement in addition to concrete procedure. Everyone is notice the momentum functionality recommended from the brand new app an easy task to employed and even more easy.
On the net pool is one like type of which happens fixed getting its lane now mobile machine. The attentions available these days with the lender segment are really sophisticated. While many deliver the same stars as that stay available for on-line banking, various other softwares are trying to offer improved functionality.
Mass of America ended up being amongst the initial make use of cell phone level. They submit consumers the features to pay for invoice, exchange funds by their iPhone app. The scrutiny created by latest reports testimony, that will greater than 40 percentages involving on the net exchanges become turned into manipulating the sensible mobile phone design into Japan, US and other created lands.
Commonwealth standard bank realized regarding agreeing to the newest engineering changes shows which mostly consumers are relying on the sensible expedient to help gain access to the line explanation and manage the compulsory checkin. The guess shows that will 14 percent connected with it's log-ins for the world wide web lender is done via cell phone mobile phone. Going from the increasing digits and the engineering innovation noticeable, the Commonwealth line happens many set to use an additional iPhone house guidebook app for its store banking house mortgage loan.
Several critics problem lacking security for many with the portable lender apps. Consumers are reluctant to utilize the mobiles pertaining to these kinds of critical gathering. The fiscal associations, nevertheless, contradict this assertion confirming in which mobile apps can certainly now not a way bring about any security problems.
Task intended for designer focusing on portable standard bank applications should be to handle the refuge items, when these interests are controlling mobile standard bank expansion. If cell phone efforts for your lender industry end up being met chance open as well as the sanctuary affairs become thoroughly handled therefore, this can easily bring about a significant transform in how we reserve.

Could someone please help me with the following problem I'm having difficulties with.
1) Show that the tangent line to the parabola y=Ax^2, A not equal to 0, at the point x=c will intersect the x-axis at the point (c/2, 0)
2) Determine where this line intersects the y-axis
Maybe I'm just confused but the question wasn't asking where it intersected the x-axis the x-axis intersection is given at the point (c/2, 0) it was only asking to determine where it crossed the y-axis in part 2 of the question. Why is this point (c/2, 0) given?
Since I got the equation of the line to be , at y=0, the line crosses the x-axis.
Thus . So we see that it crosses the x-axis at
Now, it intersects the y axis when x=0. Thus, we see that .
Thus, the y intercept is .
Does this make sense?

VCA Noyes Animal Hospital Testimonials
We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Thank you
-Kelly from Barrington, IL
Pet Name: Emma
I contacted VCA Noyes in Fox River Grove along with several other local animal hospitals since my cat was near death and I needed to put her down. This was the only hospital that did not require a final exam which would put a dying animal through unnecessary and additional trauma. Upon our arrival we were taken care of immediately by caring and thorough staff. I would 100% recommend this hospital to anyone. They really care and go over and beyond while maintaining reasonable cost. Thank you for making a difference for us during this difficult time.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
cuz the spoilers translation is there with the spoilers.
I think because we get the manga from Shonen Jump which gets released on Friday.
because it takes a whole team to scan the pages, edit it and add in all the detail. which takes a few days to do

because if it got here any earlier we would have to pay for it because it would send kishi into mass production to finish a chapter in 3-4 days and shonen jump would want compensation for a faster delivery not to mention the translators would either translate loosely or also stick their hand out because of the increased amount of work
not to mention translating to a subject specific language from one that is not takes a little effort becasuse you want the chapters to read as fluid as possible and only about 45% of the spoiler content is in the actual chapter and the translation is a summary not word for word

Fuel and Festival Attendance
In mid April we ran a poll asking our readers if they anticipated attending fewer festivals this season due to rising fuel prices. We had just over 500 readers participate in that poll with 58% saying that they would attend few festivals and 42% saying fuel costs would have no negative impact on their attendance this year.
Now that we're in the middle of the festival season we thought it would informative to run that poll again, asking if you are, in fact, attending fewer bluegrass events this season.

Fundraiser for 'Journeys' kicks off
February 16, 2012 —
MILFORD, PA — A program has been initiated to raise non-investor funds for "Journeys," an independent feature currently in development and slated to shoot in Milford in September 2012.
"Journeys," a screenplay penned by Olive Gallagher, is based on a true story about Gallagher's father, the late Sidney L. Krawitz, a highly respected attorney and past president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association (see www.riverreporteronline.com/feature/16/2011/11/01/%E2%80%98journeys%E2%8...). The program allows donors to give whatever amount and receive a full tax deduction for that amount during the development stage, before equity investors come on board the production.
Checks should be made out to "IFP Fiscal Sponsorship" with "Journeys" in the memo field, and mailed to IFP Fiscal Sponsorship – Donations, 68 Jay St., Suite 425, Brooklyn, NY 11201. Credit card donations can be made at https://market.ifp.org/newyork/fiscal/DonateNow.cfm?ProjectID=527. Every contributor's name, regardless of the amount donated, will appear in the end credits of the film.

Navigating the LMS Maze with #AdobeCaptivate
This week's Wednesday eSeminar is now available on demand.
We had an awesome session featuring amazing contributions from Jayashree who handles the Captivate LMS integration and was an incredible source of information during the session. Also helping out were representatives from product management and quality assurance teams as well as engineering. It was amazing to have so many people from the team and we really did answer tons of LMS questions – this one is definitely worth a look for anyone who works with Captivate and Learning Management Systems. Below you'll find the slide deck I used during the session.

The creek is Pennsylvania's largest tributary to feed
Lake Erie. It is generally a slow to moderate flowing
creek with some fast pools, riffles, and runs. The
steelhead that enter Elk Creek average smaller (5-8
pounds) then some of Lake Ontario's tributaries. There
are steelhead that enter the creek in the 15 plus pound
range, just not as many. The overall numbers of fish
that enter the creek can be outstanding.
Access to the creek can be found in many areas. Routes
79 (just below McKean), 98, 90, 20 (just west of Girard),
and 5 (just north of Lake City) all cross the creek.
Route 5 is a good starting point to learn the creek.
From Route 5 venturing up side roads along the creek
will find access in many areas. Other side roads also
cross the creek as well. Fishing the creek can be good
in many areas. It's a matter of finding the fish. The
best way to accomplish this is to listen to fishing
reports and the weather to find out when runs are possible
or where fish have been caught last. Remember that
steelhead are a migratory fish and can be all over
the creek, limited to some areas, or not in the creek
at all. After high water is generally a good time to
try your luck. Sometimes even a couple of overcast
drizzly days can get steelhead to move into the creek
when the water is low. Weather, water conditions, time
of year, and even moon phase can all be factors in
the movement of migratory fish.
Elk Creek is a quality migratory fishery. Many anglers
surge to this river each year to battle its mighty
steelhead. Some anglers also come to Elk for its stocked
trout during the spring and its warm water fishery
during the summer months. Located approximately 2 hours
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, fishing Elk Creek can
be well worth the travel. It is also a short (1-2 hour)
drive from Northwestern New York (Buffalo) and Northeastern
Ohio (Cleveland).

NEW YORK — Five-time U.S. Open champion Roger Federer beat 11th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 on Thursday night in a quarterfinal interrupted by rain for about 1½ hours in the first set.
Federer reached the semifinals at Flushing Meadows for the eighth consecutive year.
In the Wimbledon quarterfinals in June, Tsonga came back from a two-set deficit to stun Federer. That was the only time in Federer's career that he lost a Grand Slam match after taking the first two sets.
Now Federer faces top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the U.S. Open semifinals, the fifth straight year they will play in New York. Federer holds a 3-1 edge.
In their most recent head-to-head meeting, in this year's French Open semifinals, Federer ended Djokovic's 43-match winning streak.
Earlier Thursday, even in perfect weather, Andy Roddick ran into trouble completing a rain-delayed victory at the U.S. Open — this time, because of water seeping through a crack behind a baseline in the tournament's second-largest stadium.
At least he finally got to finish a 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 win against fifth-seeded David Ferrer, which Roddick celebrated by high-fiving spectators at cramped Court 13. Two days of wet weather gave way to sunshine, and defending champion Rafael Nadal and 2008 runner-up Andy Murray managed to work their way into the quarterfinals, too, by wrapping up straight-set victories.
Still, because of rain earlier in the week, the tournament decided Thursday afternoon to revamp its schedule and push the men's final to 3 p.m. Monday CDT — 24 hours later than originally planned. The women's final was shifted from Saturday night to 3 p.m. Sunday. It'll be the fourth consecutive year that the U.S. Open ends on Monday.
Before the change was made, one of the men's finalists faced the prospect of playing four best-of-five-set matches in four days, back-to-back-to-back-to-back, something Nadal called "not fair." Now the men will get Sunday off.
Elsewhere, No. 2-seeded Nadal beat 68th-ranked Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 7-6 (1), 6-1, 6-2 in Arthur Ashe Stadium; No. 4 Murray eliminated 84th-ranked Donald Young of the United States 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 in the Grandstand; and No. 28 John Isner got past No. 12 Gilles Simon of France 7-6 (2), 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) on Court 17.
Roddick next faces Nadal with a semifinal berth at stake.
"I'm going to have to play pretty aggressively now, similar to what I did today," the 21st-seeded Roddick said. "He's one of the greatest ever, so I'm going to have to have a repeat, at least."
Murray plays Isner, who reached the first Grand Slam quarterfinal of his career.
In the women's quarterfinals, 13-time major champion Serena Williams overcame some shaky serving early to beat No. 17 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia 7-5, 6-1 and improve to 17-0 on hard courts this season.
"I just kept losing serve in the beginning. Very weird," said Williams, whose older sister Venus watched from the stands.
Seeded only 28th after missing nearly a full year because of health problems, Williams hasn't dropped a set so far heading into a semifinal against top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, a 6-1, 7-6 (5) winner against No. 10 Andrea Petkovic of Germany on Court 13.
Seeded only 28th after missing nearly a full year because of health problems, Williams hasn't dropped a set so far heading into a semifinal against top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, a 6-1, 7-6 (5) winner against No. 10 Andrea Petkovic of Germany on Court 13.
On the other half of the women's draw, No. 9 Sam Stosur will play 92nd-ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany in the semifinals. Kerber upset No. 26 Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, while Stosur easily defeated No. 2 Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3. Zvonareva was the runner-up at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon last year.
On the other half of the men's draw, they already were into the quarterfinals, and No. 1 Novak Djokovic improved to 62-2 in 2011, advancing when his opponent, No. 20 Janko Tipsarevic, stopped playing while trailing 7-6 (2), 6-7 (3), 6-0, 3-0. Tipsarevic had his left thigh bandaged by a trainer at 5-0 in the third set.
Djokovic needed his own visit from the trainer for treatment on a bloody left big toe after sliding to get to a drop shot in the fourth set's opening game.
In the semifinals, Djokovic will face 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer or No. 11 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who were scheduled to play Thursday night.
"I was saying I hope it rains tonight," Murray said, "because then everyone is in the same boat, really."
Nadal was down a break and trailing Muller 3-0 when play was stopped Wednesday because of rain. He, Roddick and Murray then marched to the office of tournament referee Brian Earley to voice their complaints about the safety of the courts and make the case that they never should have been sent out to play in the first place.
Nadal also raised a bigger concern, which he discussed at his postmatch news conference Thursday: Players should have more say about how Grand Slam events are run.
"The problem is we don't have enough power in these kind of tournaments," Nadal said. "That's what have to change very soon."
One specific criticism he leveled at the U.S. Open is that it's the only major tournament where the men are slated to play the semifinals Saturday, and the final Sunday, without a day of rest in between. He called that schedule "something crazy for the players." But the changes made later Thursday by the USTA rendered that complaint moot this year.
Given all the delays, Roddick was eager to get going against Ferrer somewhere — anywhere, really.
While workers tried to dry the problematic patch at Armstrong — caused by a buildup of water just under the court surface being pulled up by evaporation — Roddick and Ferrer headed to the locker room. About an hour later, at 12:30 p.m., they returned to Armstrong with Earley, and the trio went over to inspect the area together.
Roddick pointed out that the spot still was wet and said to Earley, "Can you tell us why you brought us out here? ... How hard is it to not see water? ... What are we doing here?"
As he walked over to the sideline, Roddick shook his head, saying, "I'm baffled right now. Absolutely baffled." Then he shoved his racket in his bag and walked off the court as some fans booed.
Roddick, Ferrer and Earley then spoke in a hallway of Armstrong stadium.
"Put us on 13. 13's open. Let's go play. I don't care where we play," Roddick said.
Within minutes, the decision was made to switch courts, the match eventually resumed a little before 1 p.m.
Not much more than two hours later, Roddick was a winner.
He hadn't played anywhere at Flushing Meadows other than 23,771-capacity Arthur Ashe Stadium since Sept. 3, 2002, when he beat Juan Ignacio Chela at Armstrong in the fourth round. That was a run of 39 consecutive U.S. Open matches at Ashe for Roddick.
On Thursday, he started a new streak at Court 13.

About This Book
GTK+ is a cross-platform Graphical User Interface programming library, it is most commonly used in programs intended for the GNOME desktop environment.
GTK+ is supported in
- UNIX/Linux
- Mac OS
- Microsoft Windows
Prerequisite Knowledge
We will assume you have a solid foundation in C/C++ programming, enough to use functions, pointers and work with multiple files.
- In order to make our first release we should set ourselves a few small goals. Maybe you could suggest one or two.
In this chapter we will look at some very simple GTK+ examples; Theory and detailed will be at the bottom each chapter, it should be much easier to digest once you have written some code. Lets start off with some classic hello world examples, feel free to work in the way you learn best, but, let us make some recommendations to you.
- Make sure you understand what you are doing before you move on to the next chapter, feel free to finish the one you are on already chapters in this book are designed to be completed as individual units that will rely on some previous chapters.
- If you want to copy and paste feel free (so long as you are making changes to the code), but, until you get used to the GTK+ syntax maybe you should type things out by hand.
- Take it slow and tell yourself how wonderful you are for getting every line of code working
- Make mistakes changing the code, get things wrong and have fun.
An empty window
In this example we create a single window, set its title and size and connect an event that allows the application to close.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
main (int argc,
char *argv[])
GtkWidget *window;
/* Initialise GTK+ passing to it all command line arguments */
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
/* create a new window, set values */
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Hello GTK+ World");
/* set the size of the window */
gtk_widget_set_size_request (GTK_WIDGET (window), 200, 200);
/* connect the windows "destroy" event */
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
/* set the window as visible */
gtk_widget_show (window);
/* run the GTK+ main loop */
gtk_main ();
return 0;
Congratulations, you have created your first GTK+ window. You may not completely understand the code you have written yet. That's alright; by the end of this chapter creating windows will be easy. GTK+ is object oriented. As C is not designed as an object oriented language you must explicitly cast objects- this will occur most often with the paramater passed to a function. You first cast window from a GtkWidget to a GtkWindow when you wrote GTK_WINDOW (window). If you don't understand this example feel free to move on after you complete two small challenges. You can probably guess how to do them easily, but don't let yourself be tricked. The act of doing even small tasks will help you focus yourself on solving large problems.
- challenge: Change the name of the window to your first name.
- challenge: Change the window size to 400 * 400 pixels, currently it is 200 * 200 pixels.
We will have explained everything in this example by the end of the chapter, but for now let us focus on two lines of code.
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
- gtk_init () is called at the start of all GTK+ applications, it initialises gtk+ library. &argc and &argv are passed to gtk_init (), these are command line arguments that have been passed to the application gtk_init () takes these becase it has a set of command line arguments it can accept.
gtk_main ();
- gtk_main () is called once your application has been set up, once this has been called you will have to wait until gtk_main_quit () is called before the application continues. We have already connected to that event and will explain it after further excercises.
This example is slightly different to the last example, we have added a button also notice we have not called gtk_widget_set_size_request ().
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
main (int argc,
char *argv[])
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *button;
/* Initialise GTK+ passing to it all command line arguments */
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
/* create a new window, set values */
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Hello Button");
/* connect the windows "destroy" event */
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello Window");
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
/* set the window as visible */
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
/* run the GTK+ main loop */
gtk_main ();
return 0;
Good work, another one bites the dust, don't move on just yet, same format as before my friend. When you click the button it closes the window, what kind of annoying application is this? One that is trying to get you to pay attention to how it is done that's what. Notice this time we did not call gtk_widget_set_size_request (), that is because GTK+ automatically sizes windows and widgets for you, for the most part you should not have to set the size of widgets or windows your self; the last example was different because we had nothing inside the window. As the name size_request suggest the size you ask for may not be the size allocated to the widget, this will be explained more further on in the book, for now understanding that it is a request should be enough.
- challenge: make the button do nothing when you click it, that's right nothing.
- challenge: remove the line starting with 'button =', and run your program from the command line and see what happens.
Once again we will not be explaining everything just yet, that would take the fun out of this for you. Anyhow, how did you go with the challenges? I bet you did well. Let's go through a two more lines of code:
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
- gtk_window_new () creates a new window of one of two types, GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL and GTK_WINDOW_POPUP. Don't let the name GTK_WINDOW_POPUP confuse you it is not for popup dialogs, popup dialogs and GTK_WINDOW_POPUP both will be explained in future chapters.
button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello Window");
- button_new_with_label () is a convenience function, in this case it means it creates a button and a label and inserts the label in the button for you. A button in GTK+ is a container that when clicked may cause a piece of code to be run. The button may hold anything you insert into it, but putting somethin in a button just for fun will really confuse people, so we suggest you insert labels or images, and if you are a great person you will learn to insert images and labels at the rate you are going you will rule the world soon.

Original Version Credits
Thanks to Axel C. for proof-reading the first drafts, for many suggestions, and for introducing me to the tree view widget in the first place (back then when I was still convinced that porting to Gtk+-2.x was unnecessary, Gtk+-1.2 applications looked nice, and Aristotle had already said everything about politics that needs to be said).
- Harring Figueiredo shed some light on how GtkListStore and GtkTreeStore deal with pixbufs.
- Ken Rastatter suggested some additional topics (with complete references even).
- Both Andrej Prsa and Alan B. Canon sent me a couple of suggestions, and 'taf2', Massimo Mangoni and others spotted some typos.
- Many thanks to all of them, and of course also to kris and everyone else in #gtk+.

quote MilkenobiWhy is that the case? I would think that as long as each one has it's own static IP, the ports for each IP would be forwarded independently of each other.Port forwarding is no good when you have two different XBOX consoles on the same router cause one always remains as a strict NAT while the other is open.
quote KyLeDaWgYou'd think so huh? But it depends on the modem. Some do, most don't. There's a million threads out there you can research with people's solutions and it largely depends on what modem you have.Why is that the case? I would think that as long as each one has it's own static IP, the ports for each IP would be forwarded independently of each other.
quote smarti3Depends on the router, but they should all be capable of being reset to factory settings. Try searching for the procedure on Google for your particular router.Thanks Fury.
Its a pain in the ass though as i changed my routers Username and Password but lost it. And my NAT setings are stuck on Moderate
quote IntoxicationJust read the part about how to access your router's config (if you don't already know how to), then use these ports in the Port Triggering section of your router's config page:Okay, I am not very familiar this stuff so bare with me for a sec..
Basically, I am having problem connecting with some people on my friend list but they can connect to mine. Do I have to go through the whole thing or is there a certain step I can skip to.

As a typical adolescent, I was aware of two things about myself, though doubtless I could not have articulated them in these terms then. First, if there was a God, I was estranged from him. I tried to find him, but he seemed to be enveloped in a fog I could not penetrate. Secondly, I was defeated. I knew the kind of person I was, and also the kind of person I longed to be. Between the ideal and the reality there was a great gulf fixed. I had high ideals but a weak will. . . . [W]hat brought me to Christ was this sense of defeat and of estrangement, and the astonishing news that the historic Christ offered to meet the very needs of which I was conscious.
Whether you are estranged from Christ or walk with Him, may this memorial site be used by God to draw you to the only source of life for us all, Jesus Christ.

John Stott's earthly resting place [PDF 613 KiB]
London Memorial and Thanksgiving Service
St Paul's London : Friday 13 January 2012
To say that John Stott has had an impact on my life is an understatement. Dr. Stott's impact on my life has come through his books (I have read them all) and taped sermons. I grew up in the church but had reached the conclusion that being a Christian was all about being good. That changed in my early 20′s (in late 1970s) when I first read Basic Christianity. It started me on a 30-year path of Bible study and theological reading. Dr. Stott's writings and sermons color in many ways the way I understand my faith and how I ... read more >John Page

Fulham 2 Liverpool 3
Brendan Rodgers said he had been saddened to learn that this match might have been called off — because of the proposed London Underground strike rather than the weather — but not even his counterpart at Fulham would have preferred to have been denied being part of one of the most pulsating, mesmeric and slightly bonkers matches of the season.
Such was the open, dramatic nature of the contest, it came as no surprise that its finale was both devastating and euphoric. In the 90th minute, Sascha Riether fouled Daniel Sturridge inside the area and up stepped Steven Gerrard calmly to take

In the first quarter, net sales for the Volvo Group's Industrial Operations decreased by 26% to SEK 56,380 M (75,999). Adjusted for both changes in exchange rates and acquired and divested units (Volvo Aero) net sales in the Industrial Operations decreased by 18%. Sales decreased in all regions.
Significant sales drop and low production levels impact profitability
In the first quarter of 2013, operating income for the Volvo Group's Industrial Operations amounted to SEK 101 M, compared with SEK 5,906 M in the first quarter of 2012. The operating margin was 0.2% compared with 7.8% in the first quarter of 2012.
The lower operating income is a result of significantly lower sales as well as under absorption of costs in the range of SEK 1.9 billion in the industrial system as a consequence of production rates being cut in a more rapid pace than the cost levels could be reduced. All in all, gross income declined by SEK 5.8 billion. In the first quarter of 2012 under absorption of costs amounted to SEK 200 M. In the first quarter of 2012, Volvo Aero, which has been divested, contributed with an operating income of SEK 233 M.
Profitability was also affected by the current high investment pace in research and development for the upcoming comprehensive product renewal and related launch costs in the sales, production and aftermarket support organizations.
Compared with the first quarter of 2012, changes in currency exchange rates had a negative impact on operating income amounting to SEK 168 M.
Seasonal build-up of working capital
In the first quarter of 2013, operating cash flow from the Industrial Operations was negative in an amount of SEK 7.6 billion compared with a negative SEK 4.9 billion in the first quarter of 2012. The negative cash flow is primarily a consequence of the seasonally normal build-up of working capital, amounting to SEK 6.2 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

IMF forecasts end to austerity, global recovery
By Paul Handley, AFP
January 23, 2014, 12:06 am TWN
WASHINGTON--The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that the global economic recovery is strengthening as countries move away from austerity budgets and their banking systems are fortified.
But the Fund remained cautious, saying the rebound in advanced economies is uneven and that they still face the threat of deflation.
Meanwhile, emerging economies are wrestling with tighter monetary conditions and slower domestic demand.
The Fund increased its estimate for world growth this year slightly, by a tenth point, to 3.7 percent, after a 3.0-percent pace in 2013.
It was the first time in nearly two years that the Fund revised its growth forecasts upward: rougher conditions than expected have forced repeated downgrades of its predictions.
"The basic reason behind the stronger recovery is that the brakes to the recovery are progressively being loosened," said IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard, in the Fund's newest assessment of the global economy.
"The drag from fiscal consolidation is diminishing. The financial system is slowly healing. Uncertainty is decreasing," he said.
However, he added, there are significant differences between the United States, where growth looks "increasingly solid," and Europe, where growth remains weak and even weaker in the countries of the eurozone's southern rim.
Blanchard added that unemployment "remains much too high" in most advanced economies.
But the Fund sees economic expansion continuing to accelerate into next year, when global growth should hit a healthy 3.9 percent.
Most of the gains will come from advanced economies as emerging markets — which had been the source of strength during the crisis years of 2008-2011 — are themselves forced to restructure to address capital outflows and diminished competitiveness.
Among advanced economies, the IMF sees U.S. growth at 2.8 percent this year, euro area growth at 1.0 percent, and Japan at 1.7 percent.
The faster growth in advanced economies will help the others, stimulating demand for their exports, the IMF said.
Among the largest emerging economies, it forecast that China will grow 7.5 percent, India 5.4 percent, Russia 2.0 percent and Brazil 2.3 percent.

RUSH: This is from the Washington, DC, CBS affiliate. This just spells out one of the results from the latest Pew Research study. This is not good. The Pew Research study is the one that shows Democrat voter enthusiasm way, way up all of a sudden, in the swing states. And the story from the Washington, DC, CBS affiliate headline is: "Only 15 Percent Of Democrats Believe Economic News Is Bad -- According to a recent study from the Pew Research Center ... new data found that just 15 percent of Democrats believe that recent economic news is mostly poor, a percentage that took a significant drop from the 31 percent of Democrats polled last month who did think that economic news was mostly bad.
"According to the study, the 15-percent clip is among the lowest percentages during President Barack Obama's nearly four years in office. Sixty percent of Republicans find that most of the economic news is bad. Among independents, the percentage is 36 percent," who think the economic news is bad. And both of these data sets remain virtually unchanged from a month ago. I mean, you can fool some of the people all the time, but the good news here is that the Drive-Bys are not fooling anybody but the fools. I mean, they're not creating new fools. They're not converting people into fools. All they're doing is preaching to the fools.
Do you believe only 15% of Democrats think the economy's in bad shape? Why would you say that? If you didn't care what the state of the economy was, then you probably would think it's okay. And I'd venture to say that there's a heck of a lot of Democrats who probably don't care, 'cause they don't depend on the economy. They depend on the government, and the government's always there regardless what the state of the economy is.
No, I'm not just saying that to be provocative. There's a huge partisan divide in this country, issue by issue or category by category. Look, 85% percent of Democrats think the economy's fine. What does that tell you about those people? We are at depression era growth rates, shrinkage rates, however you want to categorize it. Sixty percent of Republicans think that most of the economic news is bad. So there are 40% of Republicans who think it's okay.
Somebody sent me an e-mail during the break. "Rush, why would a president want to be photographed and seen with all of these rich people when he's supposed to represent the little guy?" You know, I thought, that's an interesting question. I wanted to think about that. Off the top of your head, Snerdley, why? Here's Obama; we're in the midst of, I guess maybe Obama knows only 15% of Democrats think the economy is bad, but let's just say, why would Obama, Michelle, why would they do all these vacations? Why would they live the opulent lifestyle? Why would they hang around ostentatiously, highly consuming people, rich people, wealthy, with all the trappings, Jay-Z's 40/40 Club with that giant pyramid of champagne, why would Obama do this if he wants to be seen as a man of the little guy, representative of the little guy, why would he do it?
Okay. Snerdley's answer is that the little guy likes reality celebrity shows. I have a different theory, that of course is far more devious and far more cynical than your theory. If you are President Obama, and if you are going to make your bones on taxing the rich, if your entire reason for getting elected is to tax the rich and to focus on them, and they're not paying their fair share, what better could you do to illustrate it than hang around 'em amidst all their opulence? Why, look at that, look at that. You don't even have to point it out. It speaks for itself. Look at the that house of Obama's. Look at the cars there. He's right, those people aren't paying their fair share. The rich aren't being hurt at all. That's right, go nail 'em, Barack. That's my take. That's my take on it. That's Hollywood, baby. That's Jay-Z. That's "Green" Ivy, the baby.
No, not the Obamas. They see the opulence. Maybe not the rich in terms of the enemy, but it doesn't have to be just the Hollywood people he's hanging around with. A lot of these fundraisers he goes to, Sarah Jessica Parker's place or Anna Wintour, certainly not the dregs, where he's hanging out. If you want to make the point that there are plenty of rich people with a lot of money who could afford to pay more why not hang around and illustrate how they're living? Have the cameras accompany you around and there you go. You've got Jay-Z and you've got Beyonce, you've got the golden champagne bottles. I understand they covered a few of 'em. The whole pyramid was not available. But the point that you want to make, if you're Obama, there's so much money out there, and these people aren't paying their fair share.
Now, Obama doesn't say this while he's with those people. Don't misunderstand, this is pure optics. This is just creating the impression or cementing in these people's minds the reality there's a lot of rich people, and they aren't paying their fair share. Even more than that, they could afford a tax increase on them. I mean, to these people, higher taxes are nothing. These rich people live alike, they blow their money like it'll never run out, so make it look like it will never run out. In the midst of this economic downturn, show people who have endless money, huge houses, lots of cars. It's another way of countering the whole idea that the economy is in bad shape. It isn't for these people. It's only for the hoi polloi, and guess who's looking out for them? "Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" I think that's why he's doing it. That and to raise money, of course. No question. I mean he's out there doing it to raise money, but there's also the optics of this.

With the television and movie writers' strike in its second week, and more and more shows shutting down, you may be suffering from TV withdrawal and asking yourself "Why?" (Which is a funny question to ask yourself, unless you are a arbitrator who specializes in entertainment industry collective bargaining disputes, of course.)
But because you are most likely another mouth-breather who likes to watch television, you probably don't understand the reasons behind the writers strike. So please enjoy this video made by a Daily Show writer that explains the strike in easy to understand terms and is kind of funny.
Many more hysterical/interesting videos here, including ones starring Todd Bridges from Diff'rnt Strokes!

Sexually active couples need to be concerned with the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and how their choice of contraception influences that risk. Condoms provide the best documented protection against such pathogens as: gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus (HSV), hepatitis B, HIV, and chlamydia. Female dependent barrier methods also provide protection against most STDs and also possibly HIV. Most hormonal non-barrier contraceptives, although providing excellent protection against unwanted pregnancies, provide little protection against STDs. Oral contraceptive pills (OCP) may increase the risk of infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical infections of chlamydia. Individuals at high risk for both an unwanted pregnancy and an STD should be counseled to use both a hormonal and barrier contraceptive. Recently, nonoxynol-9 (N-9) and OCP use have been associated with an increase in HIV infection in African women at high risk for HIV. This association has not been found in other studies and currently does not outweigh the proven benefits of these contraceptive methods.
