All the items in the V&A exhibition come from the collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. In that Manhattan temple of the avant-garde, all works of art - and especially photographs - lose their context as they join the great onward march of cultural history. Now, we can rhapsodise about the glorious flash in Weegee's picture (above). We can praise the perfectly balanced composition of an image taken on the run amid the usual scene-of-crime mayhem. The shutter stays open, but the case is closed.
Time has an odd, denaturing effect on photographs. Slowly but surely, they check out of Life and into Art. And this diverse exhibition reveals as much about that process as it does about America itself.
Weegee - an immigrant hustler whose real name was Arthur Fellig - shared with many news photographers a yearning for prestige and recognition. In the pre-war heyday of the gangland wars, he chased bells and sirens to deliver gory front-page splashes to New York's sensation-hungry papers. Cops believed that some uncanny sixth sense led him to reach the hot spots before they did. In fact, he listened in to their communications. This brilliant scavenger sought, and found, smarter assignments: for instance, in his pretentious 1948 book of Weegee's New York. But he never equalled the impact made by his rough and cunning life of crime. His most functional shots pack the hardest artistic punch - a pattern you can see repeated throughout the V&A selection.
The other striking aspect of this picture is the way that it resembles a still from some gangster film. It's a group reaction shot, with the main action off-camera and the drama of the killing intensified by Weegee's characteristic super-strength flash. Hollywood shadows this epoch of US photography from start to finish. Remember: lightweight, portable cameras only arrived on the mass market with the release of the Kodak No 1 in 1888. In other words, photography as a cheap and mobile art is not much older than the movies.
In the US, it shared from the outset their taste for novelty and their relish for violence and scandal. From the view of Market Street in San Francisco ablaze after the 1906 earthquake to Gary Winogrand's shot of tourists in Dallas gazing at snaps of the Kennedy assassination site, sudden blows from God or man run through the V&A show like a bloodstained thread.
Another photographer who matches Weegee's relish for rackety low-life is Gordon Parks. In 1948, he captured some scrawny teenagers as they scrapped on the streets of Harlem. In those days, Parks was a Life magazine staff photographer. Later, he aged into the king of blaxploitation movies, director of such meretricious landmarks as Shaft. How strange - but how American.
Still images in magazines also vied with moving pictures in building up the American cult of celebrity. And that has always proved a two-edged sword for its targets. Worship and contempt fused as each successive star was born. Nickolas Muray's famous 1927 portrait of Babe Ruth, baseball's Pele or Bradman: the sporting idol squares up the lens as if he fears and despises it. And so he should - Ruth was a thug and a tippler who lived in an age when a pliant media generally glossed over the foibles of popular heroes. But Muray can't quite manage that cosmetic sheen. Something gross and menacing - a Gazza-like quality, perhaps - survives the formality of the portrait sitting. In this case, at least, the camera really hasn't lied.
`American Photography 1890-1995' is at the Victoria & Albert Museum until 26 January, 1997. Tel: 0171-938 8500.

Kirk's line from TWOK. His other one when he cut short his inspection of the ship and mouthed the word "later" too: these sound like tag lines for ads in commercials or something. Were these jokes from the popular culture outside Trek at the time?
The first one, "a chance to get away from it all" is just an old expression. I don't remember it, or the other one being from any comercial or being a buzz phrase of the time.
I don't see how either of these things would have anything to do with pop culture. They're just expressions.
"Get away from it all" is an expression that's been around for many decades. It inspired a fanspeak term: "GAFIATE" (verb) - to Get Away From It All - to leave fandom, either temporarily or permanently. Somebody wrote a filk song about it (I can only remember the chorus).
Actually I do recall "This'll be your big chance to get away from it all" being used in a TV commercial for an upcoming broadcast of the movie. Funny how it stuck with me all these years.
God knows McCoy needs to get away from it all throughout his lifetime. He always practically seems on the brink of a nervous breakdown. That guy deserves a vacation that doesn't get interrupted. Case in point: The Final Frontier, I mean, let the guy eat his beans and whiskey in peace before he completely snaps!

Tomorrow, a 32 room-hotel opens in London's Heathrow airport, offering free Wi-Fi and other perks. Yotel rates start at $50 for four hours (but more typically about $110). Inspired by the smart way first-class airline seats use space, Yotel offers a pod that measures between 75 and 107 square feet. Each pod has a double bed, bathroom with shower, pull-down desk, flat-screen TV—plus free Wi-Fi. Earlier this summer, Yotel opened a hotel in Gatwick airport. At last, the word is getting out that budget travelers like a bit of style.

The Golden Age Of Advertising
The twenties and thirties saw a host of new ways to separate customers from their money. The methods have not been forgotten.
April/may 1985 | Volume 36, Issue 3
Listerine was not a new product in 1920. For years it had been merchandised perfunctorily as a general antiseptic. Initially, the three men who transformed Listerine into the marvel of the advertising world—the copywriters Milton Feasley and Gordon Seagrove and the company president, Gerard B. Lambert—did not so much convert the product to a new use as induce the public to discover a new need. After a year of comparatively awkward ads for Listerine as a mouthwash, the copywriters hit upon a winning formula. The picture of a lovely girl introduced a story cryptically entitled "He Never Knew Why." The hero, a rising young businessman, was spurned by the "luminous" but "charmingly demure" girl of his dreams after a single romantic encounter. He seemed to have every advantage in life—wealth, good looks, charm—but he labored under one insurmountable handicap. He had "halitosis."
The term halitosis (exhumed from an old medical dictionary) had a scientific sound and took some of the coarseness out of a discussion of bad breath. The ads mimicked the tabloids' personalinterest stories and advice-to-the-lovelom columns. As the advertising industry's journal Printers' Ink reflected in a tribute to Feasley: "He dealt more with humanity than with merchandise. He wrote advertising dramas rather than business announcements—dramas so common to everyday experience that every reader could easily fit himself into the plot as the hero or culprit of its action."
By 1926 Printers' Ink went so far as to eulogize Feasley for having transformed behavior patterns. He had "amplified the morning habits of our nicer citizenry—by making the morning mouthwash as important as the morning shower or the morning shave." But Gerard Lambert was not content to wed the fortunes of his product to one new habit. To maintain advertising momentum, he kept finding new uses for Listerine. Halitosis had hardly become an advertising byword before Lambert began to proclaim Listerine's virtues as a cure for dandruff. Between 1921 and 1929 the American public also learned the virtues of Listerine as an after-shave tonic, a cure for colds and sore throats, an astringent, and a deodorant. Lambert capitalized on the new fame of his product to market a Listerine toothpaste, which brought even greater financial returns. The Listerine advertising budget mounted from $100,000 in 1922 to $5,000,000 in 1928.
The financial feats of the Listerine campaign held the advertising trade enthralled. Phrases like "the halitosis style," "the halitosis appeal," and "the halitosis influence" became standard advertising jargon. Copywriters soon discovered and labeled over a hundred new diseases, including such transparent imitations as "bromodosis" (sweaty foot odors), "homotosis" (lack of attractive home furnishings), "acidosis" (sour stomach), and such inventive afflictions as "office hips," "ashtray breath," and "accelerator toe."
The promoters of Listerine were not the first to discover the sociodrama as an advertising technique—just as they had not pioneered the appeal to social shame or personal fear. In advertisements headlined "Within the Curve of a Woman's Arm," the deodorant Odo-ro-no had earlier confronted the threats to romance posed by underarm perspiration. But Listerine purchased larger space in a wider variety of publications. Its expanding appropriations and spectacular profits impressed the business community. The J. Walter Thompson Company summarized the new perception of proper advertising techniques in 1926: "To sell goods we must also sell words . In fact we have to go further: we must sell life ."
In January 1928 a young woman in the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency, who described herself as an "inexperienced but struggling enthusiast," challenged the recent trend of her own agency's advertising style. Why, she asked in the agency's confidential newsletter, had the recent layout and copy of the campaign for Fleischmann's Yeast "deteriorated… to such an extent that they have assumed the appearance of a True Story Magazine insertion?" Was it to appeal to the "minds of those morons … who daily dole out their 2 cents to secure the latest news not only unadulterated but graphically portrayed?" Had the agency lowered itself to producing "tabloid copy for tabloid readers"?
The agency's response, written by the experienced copywriter Gerald Carson, was immediate and devastating. In so skeptical an age, said Carson, people should welcome "any manifestation of idealism as precious, there is so little of it." Nevertheless, duty required the agency not to indulge its preferences but to advance the sale of Fleischmann's Yeast. This duty could be performed only with copy "comprehensible to the plain people." It might be more pleasant to "advertise exclusively to 'nice' people," but advertising success was "too dependent upon the franchise of the common people for us to cherish a purpose so aristocratic." Yes, by all means, "tabloid copy for tabloid minds."

Keep Calm and Carry On Necklace
Have you ever seen the posters that say "Keep Calm and Carry On"? The one above is a reproduction from sfgirlybybay I just had to learn more about the history behind it, I love the saying and often say it to myself when I feel I just need to Keep Calm and Carry On! It inspired me to create my new hand stamped "Keep Calm and Carry On" necklace.
Here is a bit of history for you:
In the Spring of 1939, with war against Germany the British Government's Ministry of Information commissioned a series of propaganda posters to be distributed throughout the country at the onset of hostilities. It was feared that in the early months of the war Britain would be subjected to gas attacks, heavy bombing raids and even invasion. The posters were intended to offer the public reassurance in the dark days which lay ahead. If you would like to learn more about the history behind the signs you can visit here
So the next time you feel a bit stressed why not do what I do say to yourself, "Keep Calm and Carry On!!

Each of these three guitar-like instruments uses its own unusual and specially made pickup system.
Skye Boat Song played on the hide-head guitar
1) The one on the left has a banjo-like goatskin soundboard. It functions well without amplification, but it also has a dual electric pickup system. A homemade magnetic pickup (the sort that electric guitars normally use) is located under the strings. A tiny condenser microphone, wired up from inexpensively purchased components, is located inside the wooden bowls that form the shell of the body. The two are blended in a compact onboard dual pre-amp (not visible in the picture). The amplified instrument has a distinctive sound, not banjo-like and not exactly guitar-like either, but definitely more "acoustic" sounding than a regular electric guitar. You can hear it by playing the "Skye Boat" MP3 above.
2) The instrument on the right in the photo uses a special design for the magnetic pickup that allows it to function as a contact pickup — that is, responding to the vibration of whatever it's physically attached to, rather than to the movement of steel strings nearby. In this case it's attached directly to the strings, as if riding on them in mid-air; thus it functions as both pickup and bridge. Since steel strings are not required (as they would be with a regular electric guitar pickup), the guitar is strung with a mixture of brass and steel strings. This pickup system produces particularly deep, bassy, warm tones, and to take advantage of this, the tuning of the instrument is set a fourth below standard tuning. You can hear this guitar by playing the "Capriccio" MP3 below.
Capriccio by Johan Anton Logy played on the Deep Guitar
3) The instrument in the bottom of the picture is more conventional, but with a homemade pickup designed to bring out the sparkly high end of the string tone.
These pickup ideas, and many more, are featured in the book Getting a Bigger Sound: Pickups and Microphones for Your Musical Instrument, by Bart Hopkin.

Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, RatSource / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg272 of human StAR protein.
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) plays a significant role in cholesterol transport from the cytoplasmic outer membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane (1). The 37 kDa precursor is cleaved to generate an active 28 kDa protein capable of facilitating cholesterol metabolism into pregnenolone (2,3). StAR is prevalently expressed in mitochondria of steroid-producing adrenal and gonadal tissue (3). Abnormalities in StAR gene expression are impacted in autosomal Lipoid Congenial Adrenal Hyperplasia (LCAH) resulting in defects in pregnenolone and cortisol synthesis (4). The mechanism of cholesterol binding to StAR has yet to be elucidated (4).

Practiced Evolved
From D&D Wiki
Practiced Evolved[edit]
"You're too weak to stop me. I know how it feels now. And with all this power...I'm the most special!" Peter Petrelli - Dying of the Light
All evolved humans discover that they are different at some point in their lives . Some live in fear of their gift, believing it to be a curse and so hide it, never using it unless some extraordinary circumstances warrant it. Others will play around with it, treating it like some new kind of toy. And then there are those who, for whatever personal reason, decide to hone their abilities to the point where they become the most gifted, or the most deadly, of their kind.
To qualify to become a Practiced Evolved, a character must fulfill the following criteria.
Skill: Power (any) 13 ranks
Feat: Evolved, any two other Power feats
Class Information[edit]
Hit Die: 1d8
Action Points: 6 + one-half character level, rounded down, every time the character attains a new level in this class.
Class Skills[edit]
The Practiced Evolved's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are: Bluff (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (current events, pop culture, streetwise) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Read/Write Language (none), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (none), Spot (Wis)
Skill Points at Each Level: 3 + Int modifier.
Level | BAB | Fort | Ref | Will | Special | Def | Rep |
1 | +0 | +1 | +0 | +1 | Leave Nothing To Chance | +1 | +1 |
2 | +1 | +2 | +0 | +2 | Bonus Power Feat | +2 | +1 |
3 | +2 | +2 | +1 | +2 | Unwavering Focus | +2 | +1 |
4 | +3 | +2 | +1 | +2 | Bonus Power Feat | +3 | +2 |
5 | +3 | +3 | +1 | +3 | Moment of Mastery | +3 | +2 |
Class Features[edit]
The following features pertain to the Practiced Evolved advanced class.
Leave Nothing To Chance[edit]
At 1st level, the Practiced Evolved has learnt how to eke out the maximum chance of success from using her powers. Whenever she spends an Action Point to modify the result of a Power skill check, she rolls a d8 in place of a d6.
Bonus Power Feat[edit]
At 2nd level and again at 4th level, the Practiced Evolved gains an additonal Power feat. The Practiced Evolved must meet the prerequisites for her chosen feat.
Unwavering Focus[edit]
At 3rd level, the Practiced Evolved gains the ability to use her power with the utmost control, even in situations not to her advantage. Whenever she makes a Power skill check, she may choose to Take 10, even in combat or stressful situations.
Moment Of Mastery[edit]
At 5th level, a Practiced Evolved can temporarily gain a full measure of control over the potential she will one day realise. This ability is only usable once per day, and requires the expenditure of an Action Point to activate it. Once done, the Practiced Evolved may treat her next Power Skill check as if she had obtained a result of 20 on her d20 roll.

BBB Torch Awards
SOURCE: KATV NEWS - By Jason Pederson
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas-
Honoring high ethics in business.
That was the goal of a gathering in Little Rock Thursday.
Tonight Seven-On-Your-Side isn't going to warn you about some questionable company... but instead help celebrate several companies that are doing things right.
It can be true with celebrities, kids and even companies: behaving badly can get you more attention than behaving well.
This awards ceremony is a step towards changing that.
The venue for the gathering...the ballroom at the Governor's Mansion.
The reason for the gathering...to honor and celebrate doing business the right way.
The first Arkansas Torch Awards for Ethics were handed out by the Better Business Bureau.
Thousands of companies are reviewed by the BBB.
These are among the best.
"You can go to www.bbb.org and find information on a company in Arkansas or anywhere else in the United States," says Janet Robb, President and CEO of Arkansas' BBB. "If a Better Business Bureau has a review on the company, you can find it...at no cost."
The inaugural winners include Arvest Bank of Little Rock...
Bud Anderson Heating and Cooling out of Lowell...
Window Mart, located in Royal...
and Main Street Service Center in Harrison.
Two other Little Rock companies were finalists: McCormick Works and Lewis and Company Construction. The other finalist was MDA Central Casting Studios of Fayetteville.
"The Better Business Bureau spends a lot of time focusing on bad business practices," says Robb. "But we're really delighted to be able to focus on some good practices as well. And that is the purpose of the Torch Awards. Let's all work at doing business better."
Eleven businesses that have been accredited members of the Better Business Bureau for over 50 years were also recognized. They are Entergy, Rector Phillips Morse, Friday, Eldredge and Clark, Transamerica, KoolVent, Hiland Dairy, Frances Flower Shop, Tipton Hurst, AT&T, Cromwell and Crow-Burlingame Co.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the Book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Chapter One
'Three of them can consume a dead horse in three days.'
Linnaeus might have been describing famished wolves or bears emerging from the forest in desperate search of winter nourishment, but savage Nature was not the subject of his dissertation.
Flies . . .
That's what Linnaeus was talking of.
And as I left the house that morning, I spotted another corpse in the garden.
The lawn and flower-beds had become a cemetery in recent weeks. I had buried a rat, three field-mice and a squirrel, intending to hide them from the eyes of Helena and the children. I knelt down to examine the creature more closely. Half hidden beneath one of the rose-bushes, a fair-sized stoat in what remained of its red-brown summer coat.
It had not been there the previous evening when I returned from my office in town. Yet overnight, it had been reduced to a skeleton, more or less. Four or five bluebottles were fighting over the last shreds of .flesh, darting in, teasing at the fat where the ears had been, pulling at the gristle as they flew away, but never going very far. The bared, pointed teeth made no impression on those ravenous creatures. They seemed to have no notion of fear. Armageddon had arrived for the stoat in some form or other; the flies had done the rest in no time.
It seemed to verify Linnaeus's claim.
In the past few days I had been reading everything that I could lay my hands on regarding flies and filth. Count Dittersdorf's library had yielded up Linnaeus, and other useful things as well. But this particular essay was a revelation. Where they came from, what they ate, the cycle of their existence, how fast they could reproduce. They came in all shapes and sizes, and he divided them into a regular army of species and sub species. The familiar musca domestica, the yellow- striped scathophaga stercoraria, the larger calliphora vomitoria, and a hundred others. The Latin names spoke volumes about their .filth, their habits, and the danger that they posed.
Lotingen was infested with them.
My home was besieged by them.
They filled the air, settled on every surface, seemed to multiply like the locusts in the plague that was visited on the ancient Egyptians according to the Bible. They crawled around the eyes and the mouths of my children, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had taken refuge in books, hoping to find some news which would
tranquillize my own misgivings, and end my wife's fears. So far, I had found nothing. On the contrary, what I read called forth questions that I had never previously considered. How many days would it take, for example, for the same three flies to consume the corpse of a man, a woman, or a child?
Each day was hotter than the day before.
Walking along the dusty road to town each morning, I had begun to notice a host of creatures that I had never seen before. Strange winged ants with metallic shells the
color of brass, which attacked and ate the smaller flies and midges. Larger beetles with hard green carapaces lurked in holes that they had dug in the rock- hard banks of the lane, darting out to catch the ants which ate the flies. It was as if Nature had declared a universal war between its constituent parts.
And here was the evidence in my own garden.
It was hard to imagine such destructive ferocity in any creature, let alone one that was so small, but those bluebottles showed no intention of leaving the corpse alone while anything edible was left on the bones.
Had the flies consumed the fur, as well?
Linnaeus had said nothing regarding the horse's hair.
I made a show of examining the roses, in case Helena was looking out of the window. The blooms were dry, opaque, brittle. At the merest touch, the petals would fall to the ground like autumn leaves. Strands of a cobweb glinted like harp-strings in the sunlight, and, as I looked more closely, something else that Linnaeus had written returned to my thoughts.

NORTH WALES Police are warning those who may be making the pilgrimage to Mecca to beware of internet fraudsters.
Every year more than two million Muslims celebrate Hajj by making the pilgrimage to Mecca. As plans for the pilgrimage are made, it is important to be aware of internet fraudsters who offer package deals which do not exist or are only part true, to defraud people of their money.
Detective Inspector Lee Boycott said: "This is an unscrupulous crime and I do not want people to lose their money around what should be a happy event."
"I would ask people to check details and travel providers and ensure they are a member of ABTA. Also do not pay in cash or internet transfer to an individual bank account."
"If you have been a victim of this type of fraud please do not suffer in silence or be embarrassed, we need to know about it. I would urge anyone who has information or has suffered such a crime to report the matter via Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or at www.actionfraud.police.uk. I hope those who make the pilgrimage enjoy a safe and memorable event."
More information is available on the North Wales Police website and officers will be distributing leaflets on Hajj Fraud to local Mosques.

DARPA Plugs Next-Gen Prosthetics Into Wounded Amputee Soldiers' Muscles
Jason Mick
May 31, 2013 12:05 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Project offers better control and new sensations in artificial arms and legs
In a partnership with
Case Western Reserve University
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) is working to tap directly into nerves in the arms and the legs to
give soldiers direct control of prostheses
sensations of feeling
. The project is part of DARPA's
Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET)
Since 2000,
more than 2,000 service members
have received injuries that required the amputations of limbs, while another 2,600 had lesser amputations (such as
the loss of a hand
). Of the soldiers who received electronic prosthetics most of them
are cortically controlled
-- or controlled by electrodes on the head/neck or headsets with built-in electrodes.
By contrast RE-NET's latest effort focuses on
so-called "peripheral control"
, tapping into nerves in the remaining muscles in the limb stub to control the robotic limb and/or receive sensations from it. The process uses flat interface nerve electrode (FINE). The approach is dubbed "targeted muscle re-innervation" (TMR).
An artist-rendered closeup of the flat interface electrode used for TMR.
Former Army Staff Sgt. Glen Lehman was injured in Iraq and participated in one study at the
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
Earlier versions
of the technology relied primarily on cortical-routed electrodes; the latest version also uses peripheral control. Sgt. Lehman demonstrates the gains in fine control in this video:
A second study at the CWU in Cleveland, Ohio restored a sensation of feeling using TMR.
An illustration of the TMR approach used to re-innervate a muscle and "feel" a prosthetic limb.
The re-innervation technique allow the wounded soldier to "feel" sensations in his fingertips. This allowed them to rummage through and select objects from a small bag of items -- a capability not possible with current generation prosthetics.
Jack Judy
, DARPA program manager for the RE-NET project is enthusiastic about the early successes of TMR. He
Although the current generation of brain, or cortical, interfaces have been used to control many degrees of freedom in an advanced prosthesis, researchers are still working on improving their long-term viability and performance. The novel peripheral interfaces developed under RE-NET are approaching the level of control demonstrated by cortical interfaces and have better biotic and abiotic performance and reliability. Because implanting them is a lower risk and less invasive procedure, peripheral interfaces offer greater potential than penetrating cortical electrodes for near-term treatment of amputees. RE-NET program advances are already being made available to injured warfighters in clinical settings.
With the RE-NET program, DARPA took on the mission of giving our wounded vets increased control of advanced prosthetics. TMR is already being used by numerous amputees at military hospitals. As the RE-NET program continues, we expect that the limb-control and sensory-feedback capabilities of peripheral-interface technologies will increase and that they will become even more widely available in the future.
The RE-NET project will continue with a series of studies through 2016.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
SL Speaker to face no-confidence motion[TamilNet, Thursday, 20 November 2003, 11:34 GMT]The leaderships of Sri Lanka's main opposition Peoples Alliance (PA) and the Sinhala nationalist, Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Thursday decided to collect signatures of parliamentarians to move a no-confidence motion against the Sri Lanka Speaker Mr.Joseph Michael Perera stating he had no power to challenge the proclamation of the President Ms Chandrika Kumaratunge proroguing parliament, political sources said. Leader of the Opposition Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse Thursday made a special statement in parliament when it resumed its sitting to debate the 2004 budget of the United National Front government that the Speaker has no right to express opinion on the President's action in proroguing parliament. The President has acted according to executive powers conferred on her by the Article 70 of the 1978 constitution. No one could challenge the President's proclamation, Mr.Rajapakse said. Meanwhile the main constituent of the PA, Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has condemned the statement made by the Speaker in parliament Wednesday against the President's decision to prorogue parliament on November 3 and reconvene a new session on November 19. The SLFP general secretary Mr.Maitripala Sirisena said in the statement that the Speaker has no right to challenge the President's proclamation. " The SLFP wishes to register its strong condemnation that the accusation leveled and the wrong interpretation given by the Speaker about a constitutional exercise made by the President," said Mr.Maitripala Sirisena. The Speaker in his ruling on Wednesday had stated," when different parties hold power in the Executive and the Parliament, it is essential for both these branches to act in co-operation if the expectations of the people are to be fulfilled. The sovereignty, vested with the people under the constitution, is divided and exercised by the Executive President, Parliament and the Judiciary. Parliament is the supreme organ of legislative power" |

Negative camber...
There are a couple of things to consider with negative camber. It will help your cornering ability at high speeds, however it result in increased tire wear at city driving speeds. The nice thing about adjustable camber plates is that you can easily change from -3 deg to -1.5 degrees without too much difficulty. It will mostly help tire wear on the track, as the outside edge (typically the left front is the primary concern) will get the most use. If you can spread the wear across the tire, they'll generally last longer. Too much negative camber is a bad thing on the streets; one, your inside edge of each tire will wear out quickly. Two, your car will tend to hunt and dart through each ridge in the road; basically, the ride will really suck. And yes, negative camber should be on both the front and rear wheels. Pat |

This is a clear example of what I've been dreading from the Reds.
You don't trade anything of real value to get some junk, short term fix in order to try and win this division. The Central's weakness is fooling people into thinking their team is legit when its clearly not.
If scraping together the Yan's and Guardado's of the world is enough to win it then great. If we trade a Cueto or Wood for the pitching equivilant of Aubry Huff you can look foreward to another decade or so of losing because the FO isn't nearly as good as we think they are.
Why don't we wait and see what's in store before convincing ourselves that the band-aid approach of the past will continue to be employed by the current regime.

If the Reds acquired the bullpen equivalent of Huff for what they surrendered in prospects, I'd be pleased.
I was under the impression one of the prospects was good, if not then disregard. My concern remains however that someone's going to get "pennant fever", trade something of value because its a few years away from helping us and next year we still won't be WS champs but we'll have a little bit weaker farm system.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer

"His hands start high and he's leaning way back with his front shoulder a good ten inches higher then his back shoulder and you say to yourself, 'How is he going to do anything like that?'" said the scout.

Just read a post where Biker said his wife couldn't orgasm in the morning....my gf is the same way, rarely can orgasm until shes been awake 5 or 6 hours..just wondering if this is common?
Would like to add that while not being able to get off....she lubricates actually more, in the morning.....which makes it all the more confusing.....
I can get aroused too,but just not able to fully concentrate on getting off. My mind is just not with the program I guess
I do some of my best coming in the morning. I just love to have a whopper of an orgasm to start my day off right. Night time is harder for me because I'm too tired to get into it most nights.
My wife can cum some mornings but not consistently and only with the help of toys. Much like 12 BB said of Sluty, my wife also gets exceptionally wet in the AM.
The issue of not being able to cum only happens if she is actually sleeping and I wake her up. Now if she wakes me up then she can cum like a freight train. I think its a mental thing.
After a good night's sleep I feel aroused and I do have orgasms in the morning. I still have my strongest orgasms at night, though.
Not for me. I often wake up having an orgasm and i loooove sex in the morning. Its when I am the most horny.
I don't have a problem in the morning, but I have noticed that if I've had some coffee first I cum harder. There was an interesting article I read a few years ago that linked the morning brew habit with some improved aspect of sex. I can't remember for sure if it was the actual orgasm that was better, but I think that was it. I like afternoon sex the best, but any time is good. Any year would be good damn it!!!!!!!!! My frustration is peaking, but when I run into my perv twin who actually likes to do the same sorts of things that I do in and out of bed, the wait will be worth it....so I tell myself. Here's something to think about...why is it that male testosterone levels are higher in the morning while at the same time, there are quite few women who have difficulty cumming then?
Good question.And I think women's testosterone is higher at night. Just another way we couldn't be more different I suppose. Like why do men peak sexually in their teens and women in their thirties?! Maybe it's natures way of getting us to have sex as much as possible?
pretty much as has been discussed already, mrsbiker can get off in the morning, just takes a bit extra, so often mornings are just for me or for her to enjoy teasing/playing me like an instument, of course sometimes then she's ready for some of the same!!! good topic bb!
Two cups of coffee.....a shower.....an hour later, I'm good to cum..... I don't know why males peak in their late teens/early 20's........and women much later.....but if for some reason I'm single in the coming years, my personalized tag on my car will be cougar.....:lol
I have no problems with the O in the morning. In fact, I really prefer sex early (after brushing teeth) or before lunch. I am no morning person (the opposite), but I do seem to enjoy morning orgasms quite a bit. It's better than coffee for getting me going in the morning (well, until it's time for coffee, lol).

Jeff Miller, The Curt Jester, has a discussion going as to who should be the patron saint of the blogosphere. Augustine of Hippo has been nominated, but Jeff's pulling for St. Jerome. Augustine's my patron (I chose him because he reminded me a lot of C. S. Lewis), but I'm tempted to go along with Jeff on this one.
Then again, Jerome was a little too mainstream to represent such a motley crew as bloggers. His translation of the Bible is still the standard today. I think maybe we need somebody a little more disreputable. Any suggestions?

If disreputable is what you're looking, St. Augustine might be a good choice; he did live a wild life before his conversion. Or what about St. Paul, who was ever controversial, opinionated, and outspoken? Seems like a perfect match... I bet if he were around today, he'd be blogging.
- Joel said...
Yeah, Paul never could shut up, could he? :)
- Karen Marie said...
She's only a venerable right now, but her time will come; how about Dorothy Day of New York City. She was a rabblerousing journalist both before her conversion, and in the service of the Church but still just as rabblerousing after her conversion.

Catalyst-Controller-REST-DBIC-Item 0.001000_001 Latest Dev
Kwalitee Issues
- no_broken_auto_install
Upgrade the bundled version of Module::Install to at least 0.89, but preferably to the most current release. Alternatively, you can switch to another build system / installer that does not suffer from this problem. (ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build both of which have their own set of problems.)
- has_meta_json
Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.
- meta_yml_declares_perl_version
If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs.
- use_warnings
Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules (this will require perl > 5.6), or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.
Error: Catalyst::Helper::Controller::REST::DBIC::Item
- has_separate_license_file
This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
- meta_yml_has_provides
Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build or Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides do this automatically for you.
- meta_yml_has_repository_resource
Add a 'repository' resource to the META.yml via 'meta_add' accessor (for Module::Build) or META_ADD parameter (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker).

I have come to the realization that, for me, the Professor Layton series is very similar to the John Madden Football games that you kids seem to enjoy so much: One comes out every fall, and it's the same as the last one, but I buy it anyway and love it.
Professor Layton and the Demon Flute was released last week in Japan, and thus begins my annual intense Japanese practice, picking through logic puzzles and a detective story. Demon Flute follows the usual formula: The silk top-hatted English professor and his sidekicks investigate a mysterious happening. In this case, it's a demon that comes to life and smashes up a town every time a certain flute is played.
Since this is the first game in the Layton prequel trilogy, and thus a bit of a jump start for the series, Level-5 has added a few features that will surprise longtime fans.
The most obvious is a new type of puzzle. The usual formula for a Layton game sees the professor and friends progressing through the story while solving a bunch of logic puzzles that are rarely connected to the narrative.
An example is at right. Here's the translation, if you're wondering:
The four photographs below were taken in the same place.
Of the four people in the photos, three of them came as a group, and each had their picture taken one after the other. The one other person came on a different day at a different time.
Pick the three photos that have the people who all came together.
(You can figure it out from that small screenshot, although it might be difficult because of the low resolution. Answer below!)
This is how the puzzles usually go — you jump out of the story and into this separate mode. Demon Flute adds puzzles that are integrated into the story setting. So instead of jumping out of the town, a puzzle actually happens right there on the map. For example, when we reached a bridge that had ropes tied in front of it, I had to pick which rope to cut that would end up untying the entire knot.
These new puzzles, although rare, do a little bit to alleviate the disconnect between Layton's story and gameplay.
In previous games, you'd want to tap every bit of each area that you walked to, because hidden "hint coins" and puzzles are everywhere. Also, Layton and Luke often comment on certain things in the environments. In this game, multiple characters will comment on things if you click them multiple times, and coins or puzzles might be hidden under layers of dialogue. This seems like it could get annoying, but the dialogue disappears after you've been through it once, so it's actually a lot less annoying than the constant dialogue pop-ups of the first trilogy.
If you want to take a break from the main game, Layton games always offer some unique puzzles accessible from the main menu. Demon Flute has some of the best so far:
Train challenges you to plot a route for a toy train that passes by all of the stations on a map, but doesn't run out of fuel. This is really fun.
Fish is going to be a translator's nightmare. You have a two-letter Japanese word and a tank full of fish. If you feed the word to the fish, the letters change — you can see how they change by looking at a grid of Japanese characters on the top screen. The object is to learn how each fish alters the letters (they generally shift a few places on the grid) and figure out how to transform the starting word into the goal word. It's fun, but completely untranslatable.
Finally, Puppet Theatre lets you choose from a variety of different words that you collect through your adventure in an attempt to finish the script for an amusing puppet show.
And that's not even mentioning Professor Layton's London Life, a bonus mode that opens up after you beat the game. Developed by Brownie Brown, it's a pixel-art RPG in which you go about Layton's workaday life as a London professor, doing errands for the people in town, keeping them happy and collecting rare items from them.
Apparently this mode involves trading items with other players via sure-chigai communication, so perhaps that's Level-5's aim here?
That's what's new about Professor Layton and the Demon Flute. Other than that, expect the same tough logic puzzles you know and love. And expect it to come out in America in a couple of years, since we all seem to be on a delayed schedule with regards to this series' localization.
(Answer: A, B, and D. C's shadow is different, meaning that he took the photo at a different time of day.)

The Rethm Gaanam
New at SSI was Rethm's first foray into amplifier design: a 16Wpc single-ended integrated amp called the Gaanam ($7750), built around the Russian 6C33C tube and featuring an outboard power supply, 6922-based preamp stage, and an all-transformer driver stage. Using a Lector CD player and Rethm's own all-silver speaker cable ($1250 for an 8' pair), the combination of Maarga speakers and Gaanam amp sounded spacious, clean, well textured, and very tactile, with fine bass extension and bass color; my impression was that the consistently large crowd of listeners in this room agreed.

Endz's Boom Bap Beginnings
Zuleica Zepeda
Alan Navarro doesn't like starting what he can't finish. It's a motivating factor that inspired the moniker Endz, though it's only the beginning for the MC with endless potential. Back in the day, hip-hop was there when he was a kid trying to get his act together. "In high school, I just never gave a fuck. I had a lot of police contact. I got caught up on some stuff, but I loved listening to hip-hop," he says.
"What got me into it was just that I could express myself at no cost, and every time I went through some bullshit, writing was like therapy to me," the 22-year-old Navarro adds. Instrumentals don't always come free, though, and producer Yon P Beats gave him his first one for $20. "He saw my potential and never charged me again."
Others would soon also take notice. Endz was around 18 years old when he really began putting his music out, doing underground shows in Los Angeles. But it was back in his hometown when a chance encounter proved pivotal. "I met Rage through a sack. I was picking up weed," Navarro says of his fellow Orange-based rapper. The two sparked a conversation and began collaborating. "We got together and dropped a whole CD that ended up influencing the whole Orange scene."
On that 2009 album, Abstract Inspirations, the standout track "Cops" featured back-and-forth storytelling rhymes about being hassled by authorities. Two LA-based, film-school students turned the song into a viral YouTube video that helped to attract attention.

Stepping aside from collaborative projects, Navarro followed up by spending an entire year working meticulously on his first real solo effort. The resulting mixtape, Half N Half, finally dropped in early 2012 and featured beats by talented local producers as well as rhymes over established instrumentals such as Grand Puba's classic "A Little of This." It helped build momentum for Endz as an MC with an energetic, near-flawless flow. It didn't hurt that the collection also offered up "Orange County Livven," an undeniable banger that comes correct in reppin' our humble county.
Quick to expand his boundaries, Navarro wasted no time in changing up styles on No Colored Flowers, an EP released to fans for free last Christmas. "I felt like anybody can rhyme nowadays. It's hard when someone can really sit there and pour down their exact feelings," he says of wanting to add depth to his delivery. Even so, the rapper harbored doubts while recording. "No one has heard me this deep. The beats are slower. The songs are more serious. It wasn't going to be the hype, catchy shit from Half N Half."
The new material was well-received and bore the imprint of musical influences gained from joining the Locally Grown Collective during the summer. The rap group netted an OC Music Awards nomination, a ceremony Navarro was unaware of this same time last year. And the expansion and experimentation continues. "I know boom bap's my home, though," he says, noting his love for Pete Rock and J Dilla beats.
All the attention that came to Endz in 2012 caught the rapper off guard, but Navarro--whose "odd roots," as he puts it, stem from Acapulco, Mexico--keeps it humble with people he meets while on the grind. The rapper's first solo headlining show is Friday, but he already has his sights set on a certain annual, hip-hop festival stage.
"I see EndzGotOddRoots at Paid Dues, dog!" he says, pounding his fists on the table for added emphasis. He also has advice for those along the way. "If you want to fuck with me, come real or fucking get to steppin'!"
Endz performs with Critic, Rage, Mic Hempstead and others at Jasper's Bar and Grill, 3672 S. Bristol St., Santa Ana, (714) 751-4604. Fri., 8 p.m. 18+. $5. For more info on the rapper, visit www.facebook.com/Endzthemc.
