CBO: Health Care Legislation Increases the Deficit
The House Democrats' health care legislation will increase the budget deficit by $89 billion over the next 10 years, and would continue increasing thereafter, according to figures released today by the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] – a finding that directly contradicts the Democrats' claims of deficit reduction. CBO's analysis counts all Federal health costs – including a Medicare payment increase to physicians known as the "doc fix" – which House Democrats removed from their health care bill (H.R. 3962) to bring it up as a separate measure, H.R. 3961.
"[E]nacting both H.R. 3961 and H.R. 3962 would add $89 billion to budget deficits over the 2010-2019 period," CBO wrote. The budget office also said "federal budget deficits during the decade following the 10-year budget window would increase relative to those projected under current law." Salient points of the analysis, requested by the Ranking Republican of the House Budget Committee http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=10732 :

When deciding how a user's task is to be supported in our software, we often look at possible design solutions and select one that's best for the product and the user. As the project deadline approaches, however, we might choose to dismiss some features outright. In this column, Jeff Patton suggests we try keeping more features by adjusting their scale.
"Based on the number of features we've completed over the past couple of iterations, we just don't have enough time to finish all this work," the project manager says nervously to the project sponsor. "Can we talk about what features you'd like to cut?"
The sponsor groans. "Cut more features! We've already been through this. We've cut to the bone already. We absolutely need all the features in this release!"
Does this situation sound familiar? Maybe a little too familiar? The next time you find yourself in a situation where scope cutting seems like the only way to deliver on time, consider looking for opportunities to rescale. What do I mean by rescale?
I often see software requirements conveyed in terms of solutions to problems. By that, I mean a specific bundle of information including user interface design, expected application behavior, some business rules, etc. Together, those things make up the requirements for a feature. But behind that description of the software solution is a person with a problem—an end-user with a task or series of tasks to perform to accomplish some goal.
To illustrate my point, let's take a very simple task having nothing to do with software, like "swing from tree," which may have many possible solutions.

The Warriors were given the perfect gee-up ahead of their 16-0 win over an abject Hull when it was confirmed that Wane had taken a one-year option to remain with them until the end of next season - ending talk of a move to the NRL.
Lenagan went one step further in the euphoria which followed the win by saying he had told the former Cherry and Whites prop that a two-year extension was his upon delivery of the famous trophy, adding: "It was in the letter that I sent with his extension that it would be two years if we win a trophy.
"It could be three years, four years... All he has to do is carry on winning what Wigan expects of a trophy a year. He could be here for 10 years."
That could well be music to Wane's ears, but he knew nothing of it, saying: "I'm happy until next year. Now let's crack on with that."
Naturally, Wane - who will now be eternally bound to his rugby-mad town - took extra pride in the victory which was his first trophy as coach of his boyhood club, which in the past has been synonymous with success.
Winning at Wembley was Wigan's birthright in the 1980s and 1990s and the 48-year-old made sure his charges knew that ahead of the kick-off.
When asked if this could be the beginning of another run, he said: "Definitely, I love the heritage we have here.
"We have the best record in the competition and that is something we embrace. It was hidden away at one time, but I was keen on making sure the players know we're the most famous club in the world. I wanted the players to write their own name in history."
Wane replaced Michael Maguire after serving as an assistant to the Australian for the Grand Final win of 2010 and the Challenge Cup triumph of 2011.
Maguire's outfit was a ruthless machine, whereas Wane, a former coach of the club's academy, has invested heavily in the youth he knows so well, with the rewards visible here.
"It's a great feeling to be in charge of a lot of local lads. We showed real character and spirit and that is what I am really proud of," he said, after Iain Thornley and Sam Tomkins scored tries and Matty Smith won the Lance Todd Trophy for man of the match.
"I woke up today thinking to win would be a dream and it is. We won nothing last year and got hammered for it, so to do this is outstanding. I just try my best in every session, every day and I am so proud."
A clearly-disappointed Hull coach Peter Gentle accused his men of going down without "firing a shot".
There was great truth in that too, with Jamie Shaul's length-of-the-field run which Josh Charnley halted their only contribution of note.
It was the most unforgiving of platforms on which to freeze and for Gentle, the reason was simple.
"Because of the amount of possession we gifted them, we had to tackle our backsides off, which meant when we had the ball we had nothing left," the Australian said.
"We spoke all week of making sure we had 50-50 possession, but we ended up giving them 54 more play-the-balls. You can't tackle like that and then be able to attack. We are so much better than that."
Unfortunately for Gentle, there was little evidence to back up that claim. Shaul apart, Hull offered few signs of life, and the decision to play Ben Crooks for the first time since July 19 backfired badly.
The 20-year-old - sidelined for a month because of an ankle problem - was selected ahead of the experienced Richard Horne - himself a fitness doubt - but Gentle stuck to his guns, saying Crooks was the "best option" despite an error-strewn 80 minutes.
It was reported before the final that Gentle was close to being sacked - something the club denied - but with their league form patchy at best, that question returned to the table at the national stadium.
Gentle said whoever thought that to be true was a "boofhead" but did concede he now had a job on to galvanise his men ahead of the play-offs. Their league season resumes with an instant rematch against Wigan next weekend.
"We might as well use the same gameplan because it didn't get used today," he said. "We now have to pick ourselves up and stamp ourselves on the semi-finals."Reuse content

A culturally recognized mental/emotional state defined by a profound sense of well being. The emotion experienced is an intense state of transcendental happiness combined with an overwhelming sense of contentment. A deep oneness and appreciation for life, love, and friendship. For the most part, the feeling of Hendonation can be achieved over the casual burning of OG Kush with an old friend that you have not spoken to for a while at a mutually familiar location that supports Jay Appleton's theory of prospect refuge. These specific locations can be a high peak, a seaside cliff, or a spectacular city view all of which support an overwhelming feeling of euphoria.
Powell and Henry drove to Sunset Cliffs to burn some OG Kush while listening to Wiz Khalifa before Powell had to fly back to the Bay Area. It was HendoNation'd out.

Curious about the views of the experienced.
Working away at security research and certification. Starting to find this to be the direction that I want to take my career in. It was many years ago after my first course but I had much to learn at that time to get this far.
I will be freeing up 1 day per week to totally focus on making progress.
I've written to some local companies offering my services, I would say at an extremely affordable rate. My thinking no better way to expand my skill and knowledge than in a role. In the mean time there are plenty of practice vm to use.
So far no takers on my offer, so I'm thinking I can offer to my services on my own for small enough projects. My only concern is the legal issues, any tips here most welcome.
Any views about, being free 1 day per week, do you think there is a chance realistically a company could use someone for 1 day per week? (Sec company)
I've also joined the local owasp group to see what I can do there and learn from.

The man who released video footage of swans being slaughtered in Tauranga Harbour by a speeding jetboat says he has received death threats and been shunned by his local community.
The footage shows four people on board the boat as it runs over individual black swans, unable to fly away because they were moulting.
The Katikati man, who was on board the boat, said he did not regret going public as it brought "a huge sense of relief"'.
"I feel guilty it's gone on for so long and [I've] not said anything about it.
"What do you do?"
The man, who would not be identified, said he regularly went swan "hunting" with the person driving the boat and others in the community, he said.
A recent fall-out between the two was the catalyst that sparked the release of the footage, which has been aired on national television.
The man who filmed the "swan hunts" said he felt pressured to take part.
"It's just, we are all a product of our environment and it's the environment I was in. It built on me over the years," he said.
The man said he has since had his life threatened twice and many people of the local community have shunned him since the footage was released.
"A large chunk of the community know these guys and they know I've said something, I feel like an outsider."
While this was distressing, the man said he still felt he had done the right thing.
The Bay of Plenty Times has not named the boat driver for legal reasons.
The man who leaked the tape said he looked forward to seeing the result of the SPCA and Fish and Game investigation, to help "bring an end to the madness".
On Friday, the boat driver's property was searched and a number of items were seized.
Tauranga SPCA inspector Jason Blair said these were being forensically tested as part of their investigation.

Egypt attempted to colonize the region of southern Sudan by establishing the province of Equatoria in the 1870s. Islamic Mahdist revolutionaries overran the region in 1885, but in 1898 a British force was able to overthrow the Mahdist regime. An Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was established the following year with Equatoria being the southernmost of its eight provinces. The isolated region was largely left to itself over the following decades, but Christian missionaries converted much of the population and facilitated the spread of English.
When Sudan gained its independence in 1956, it was with the understanding that the southerners would be able to participate fully in the political system. When the Arab Khartoum government reneged on its promises, a mutiny began that led to two prolonged periods of conflict (1955-72 and 1983-2005) in which perhaps 2.5 million people died—mostly civilians—due to starvation and drought.
Ongoing peace talks finally resulted in a Comprehensive Peace Agreement, signed in January 2005. As part of this agreement the south was granted a six-year period of autonomy to be followed by a referendum on final status. The result of this referendum, held in January 2011, was a vote of 98 percent in favor of secession. Independence was attained on July 9, 2011.

After Hours Creative Holiday Invitation
After Hours Creative, Phoenix, Arizona, 1996
In a seven-year tradition, After Hours Creative's 1996 holiday invitation encouraged recipients to create something unique to celebrate the holidays — in this case, ornaments made from recycled printing plates.
Working with a local printer, we collected old printing plates and had them trimmed to size. They were then silkscreened with instructions and patterns that showed people how to transform the scraps into beautiful holiday ornaments. The kits were completed with cotton garden gloves (of recycled cotton), scissors, Band-Aids (for those who didn't wear the gloves) and holiday candy. All was contained in recycled cardboard boxes with reclaimed wood chips as packing protection.

Comments about Hudz Sram Double Tap V1 Soft Brake Hoods:
Got these because they were cheap & figured I'd add to my order & give them a try. They will not stay in position, I guess the rubber must be too thin or stretches too easily. I would have to reposition them every 15 minutes or so during the ride. Even tried a little super glue to hold them in place, that kind of helped a little, but still no good. Got a pair of SRAM brand instead & they fit & stay in place as expected.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Paper thin

Will probably throw away. Get what you pay for.
fits well and doesn't move around
By Blownrx7
from Simsbury, CT
These hoods are a great replacement for the original SRAM hoods that had torn on me. I could not even find the Sram hoods to buy anyway. They fit nice and snug and have not shifted around at all - after three weeks of hard riding at least. I can't speak to their durability yet but from all indications they will hold up as well as the stock hoods. BTW, you DO NOT have to remove the shifters to replace the hoods. It requires patience and finesse but you can get them on going right over the top! The key is to get those little nubs that keep the hoods in place from getting stuck during removal/installation.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Commuter
Gotta love the choice of bright colors, just like when I started riding back in 1983. So, since I've been using the original Hudz for two years and Nashbar offered such a great price, I just knew it was time to try these softer ones. In a word, great! Very comfy, and thinner than original Hudz, something my tiny hands appreciate. Reduces rough road vibration better as well. Glad I bought three sets! Heard that these don't last as long, but, I can't contribute on that for a while, except to say, so far, so good.

If you haven't seen Esther the Wonder Pig on Facebook yet, you have to check her out. You will fall in love. A warm and fuzzy feeling will overwhelm you and you will soon find yourself wondering what Esther is up to throughout your day and showing pictures of her to your friends and family. So, when I had the opportunity to interview Steve and Derek, the parents of Esther the Wonder pig, I was beside myself with joy!
Esther was brought home under the assumption that she was a "micro pig". She had been advertised as a "micro pig" and her parents were told that she would be no larger than 60-70lbs. However, there is really no such thing as a "micro pig". Micro Pigs are pigs that are either under fed or are falsely advertised. Pigs can start breeding as early as 6 weeks, so the mom pigs really are small, but, they are just babies themselves. Pot bellied pigs should be around 150lbs as adults. Domesticated pigs, such as Esther, should be closer to 700 lbs, sometimes more. Around 6 months, Esther's parents started to question her status as a "micro pig", but by then, they had fallen in love with her. Here is what they have to say about Esther the Wonder Pig and they journey that they have embarked on with her:
Q. At what point did you realize that she wasn't going to stay small? What encouraged you to keep her and then go public with it?
A. We started to have suspicions about Esther's size at about 6 months. By then we had already fallen madly in love with her so getting rid of her wasn't really an option in our minds. There were plenty of times I would sit with Esther and cry because I was so worried we wouldn't have a choice but to get rid of her. Neighbors could complain, she could get too big to do stairs, her attitude could change and let's be honest, size could be an issue and at some point. Once we got to know her there was just something really hard to explain. She's family in every sense of the word and she's wasn't going anywhere no matter what.
Q. What do you hope to accomplish with her story?
A. We want people to know Esther. The personality you see. Her smile, her intelligence, her playfulness and her want for attention.
We also want people who are thinking of getting a pet pig to do as much research as possible and think again. We had no idea what we were in for with Esther. We we're told 70-80lbs max! If you absolutely want a pig, please consider a rescue from a local sanctuary. Thousands of pigs are abandoned every year because their owners didn't know what they were getting themselves into and that's why we want to open a sanctuary of our own as soon as possible. It's a huge problem and people get taken advantage of like we did all the time. Pigs can be too smart for their own good and require a lot of training and time in the early years. Esther seems to be really well settled but she is still a handful. You also have to keep in mind even a smaller potbellied pig will be well over 100lbs of muscle, if they want to go somewhere, they're going!
Q. What have you learned from Esther?
A. We learned really quickly that they are unbelievably smart. Esther loves to be cuddled and scratched, even now as you'll see on our Facebook and YouTube videos. She's very affectionate, she has been completely house trained, does a few tricks for her treats. The list is endless. She has a personality like no animal we've had the pleasure of knowing. We also learned a lot of things that I guess we always knew but tried to ignore. Knowing Esther and how sensitive and aware she is really opened our eyes.
Q. What has been the response from friends and family?
A. Everyone has been really, really supportive.
Q. Can you tell me a little bit about her personality?
A. Her personality is hilarious; she's like a little person. She has mischievous days when she wants to explore every inch of the house or play and wrestle, but she often just wants to cuddle and sleep with us on the couch. She almost always comes to find someone when she wants a nap. She prefers to nap with us or the dogs. She's a lot of fun to be around, there's never a dull moment that's for sure.
Q. What is it about Esther that makes you fall in love with her?
A. What I said above, her hilarious personality. We always have to be one step ahead of Esther because she's just so clever. She has an amazing memory and has even taught herself how to open doors, cupboards and the fridge. She keeps us on her toes like you wouldn't believe. When you get to know Esther you also see very quickly that there's something about her eyes that is really hard to explain, they're almost human. There's a huge satisfaction knowing that we quite literally saved her life. What she gave us in return was just as life altering. She completely sucks you in, it's impossible not to fall in love.
I strongly encourage you to check out Esther the Wonder Pig on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/estherthewonderpig As always, we strongly encourage everyone to do their research before adopting an animal, any animal. If you do feel that you are ready to bring a pig into your home, though, please check out some of the many available pigs right here on Petfinder.com

I felt a slight twinge of nervousness as I approached for the first time the group who would be travel companions for the next ...well however long it would take. I was grabbing a ride through Eastern Europe with a group of street performers and Slovakians who I did not know in a big old white van. It was now 8am which meant we were an hour later than our planned departure - which by rainbow time was good going, bordering miraculous
"We have curtains here in case the police come" said Jerome - think tall Frenchman in the style of Bob Marley - pointing to a curtain behind the driver seat. "So this is illegal?" I asked. The seven others just sighed.
We arranged the rucksacks with cushions and blankets to create a kind of bed in the back of the van for us all to sprawl out on and with music blasting out a guitar amp we were on our way.
We were heading south to Helsinki where we would take a ferry to Tallinn in Estonia. Having slept little in my last night at rainbow I dozed off easily, sprawled out on our makeshift bed in between bodies with Amorez on my lap (no unfortunately not the pretty Polish girl).
"There's something wrong with these people!" exclaimed Peter, grinning as he ate a mozerella salad sandwich he had found still wrapped in plastic in a bin at our first stop. "Its unbelievable what they throw away." At twenty four Peter had travelled half the world with his dog Amorez. He looked pretty stylish and had actually collected most of his attire "dumpster diving" – yep you've guessed it
Upon arrival at the Helsinki ferry terminal an important decision needed to be taken; would we smuggle people on the van to save around 10 Euros per head? Rainbow decisions are not taken by leaders (there are none) or by voting. They are made when everyone has agreed. After a short eternity we finally decided to go the honest way. We had a few hours before the Viking ferry departure so we set a meeting point and I took a stroll.
Helsinki seemed a nice city, perhaps a little too perfect and definitely too pricey. I kept an eye on the time as with our luggage and passports on the van we were all under strict orders to be back in real world time for the ferry. I returned just before Peter who proudly returned with a crate of bananas he had found dumpster diving. Natalia (a quiet Slovakian girl) nipped off to recycle some bottles at the nearby supermarket and as everyone got back they started making cheese and tomato sandwiches with Finnish bread – a tastykind of rye bread. Forty five minutes later and with the ferry departure imminent someone finally popped the question; "Where is Natalia?"

Azathioprine is well absorbed following oral administration. Maximum serum radioactivity occurs at 1 to 2 hours after oral 35S-azathioprine and decays with a half-life of 5 hours. This is not an estimate of the half-life of azathioprine itself but is the decay rate for all 35S-containing metabolites of the drug. Because of extensive metabolism, only a fraction of the radioactivity is present as azathioprine. Usual doses produce blood levels of azathioprine, and of mercaptopurine derived from it, which are
low ( < 1 mcg/mL). Blood levels are of little predictive value for therapy since the magnitude and duration of clinical effects correlate with thiopurine nucleotide levels in tissues rather than with plasma drug levels. Azathioprine and mercaptopurine are moderately bound to serum proteins (30%) and are partially dialyzable. See OVERDOSAGE.
Azathioprine is metabolized to 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Both compounds are rapidly eliminated from blood and are oxidized or methylated in erythrocytes and liver; no azathioprine or mercaptopurine is detectable in urine after 8 hours. Activation of 6-mercaptopurine occurs via hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) and a series of multi-enzymatic processes involving kinases to form 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGNs) as major metabolites (See Metabolism Scheme in Figure 1). The cytotoxicity of azathioprine is due, in part, to the incorporation of 6-TGN into DNA.
6-MP undergoes two major inactivation routes (Figure 1). One is thiol methylation, which is catalyzed by the enzyme thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT), to form the inactive metabolite methyl-6-MP (6-MeMP). TPMT activity is controlled by a genetic polymorphism.1, 2, 3 For Caucasians and African Americans, approximately 10% of the population inherit one non-functional TPMT allele (heterozygous) conferring intermediate TPMT activity, and 0.3% inherit two TPMT non-functional alleles (homozygous) for low or absent TPMT activity. Non-functional alleles are less common in Asians. TPMT activity correlates inversely with 6-TGN levels in erythrocytes and presumably other hematopoietic tissues, since these cells have negligible xanthine oxidase (involved in the other inactivation pathway) activities, leaving TPMT methylation as the only inactivation pathway. Patients with intermediate TPMT activity may be at increased risk of myelotoxicity if receiving conventional doses of AZASAN® (azathioprine) . Patients with low or absent TPMT activity are at an increased risk of developing severe, life-threatening myelotoxicity if receiving conventional doses of AZASAN® (azathioprine) .4-9 TPMT genotyping or phenotyping (red blood cell TPMT activity) can help identify patients who are at an increased risk for developing AZASAN® (azathioprine) toxicity.2, 3, 7, 8, 9 Accurate phenotyping (red blood cell TPMT activity) results are not possible in patients who have received recent blood transfusions. See WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS, PRECAUTIONS: Laboratory Tests and ADVERSE REACTIONS sections.
Figure 1 : Metabolism pathway of azathioprine: competing
pathways result in inactivation by TPMT or XO, or incorporation of cytotoxic nucleotides into DNA.
GMPS: Guanosine monophosphate synthetase; HGPRT: Hypoxanthineguanine-phosphoribosyl-transferase; IMPD: Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase; MeMP: Methylmercaptopurine; MeMPN: Methylmercaptopurine nucleotide; TGN: Thioguanine nucleotides; TIMP: Thioinosine monophosphate; TPMT: Thiopurine S-methyltransferase; TU: Thiouric acid; XO: Xanthine oxidase) (Adapted from Pharmacogenomics2002; 3:89-98; and Cancer Res 2001; 61:5810-5816.)
Another inactivation pathway is oxidation, which is catalyzed by xanthine oxidase (XO) to form 6-thiouric acid. The inhibition of xanthine oxidase in patients receiving allopurinol (ZYLOPRIM®) is the basis for the azathioprine dosage reduction required in these patients (see PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS).
Proportions of metabolites are different in individual patients, and this presumably accounts for variable magnitude and duration of drug effects. Renal clearance is probably not important in predicting biological effectiveness or toxicities, although dose reduction is practiced in patients with poor renal function.
Homograft Survival
The use of azathioprine for inhibition of renal homograft rejection is well established, the mechanism(s) for this action are somewhat obscure. The drug suppresses hypersensitivities of the cell-mediated type and causes variable alterations in antibody production. Suppression of T-cell effects, including ablation of T-cell suppression, is dependent on the temporal relationship to antigenic stimulus or engraftment. This agent has little effect on established graft rejections or secondary responses.
Alterations in specific immune responses or immunologic functions in transplant recipients are difficult to relate specifically to immunosuppression by azathioprine. These patients have subnormal responses to vaccines, low numbers of T-cells, and abnormal phagocytosis by peripheral blood cells, but their mitogenic responses, serum immunoglobulins, and secondary antibody responses are usually normal.
Immunoinflammatory Response
Azathioprine suppresses disease manifestations as well as underlying pathology in animal models of autoimmune disease. For example, the severity of adjuvant arthritis is reduced by azathioprine.
The mechanisms whereby azathioprine affects autoimmune diseases are not known. Azathioprine is immunosuppressive, delayed hypersensitivity and cellular cytotoxicity tests being suppressed to a greater degree than are antibody responses. In the rat model of adjuvant arthritis, azathioprine has been shown to inhibit the lymph node hyperplasia which precedes the onset of the signs of the disease. Both the immunosuppressive and therapeutic effects in animal models are dose-related. Azathioprine is
considered a slow-acting drug and effects may persist after the drug has been discontinued.

brute force with bounce attack ?!
and if its LAN attack with bounce proxy ...will it be appear like it coming from WAN
General discussion of ethical hacking concepts, experiences, ideas and certs.
yatz wrote:Two things-
In a "bounce attack," you need to have access to an FTP site first. Basically you connect into an FTP server and then use that server to execute your brute force attack. A flaw in the FTP design allows arbitrary communication from one connection so you cannot be detected without the FTP server being traced first.
Secondly, this theoretically is the same as using netcat relays. Just set up a relay and then execute your brute force attack at the relay.
Does this make sense?

Finnish Countryside Sights.
Trip Start Feb 01, 2005
388Trip End Dec 31, 2020
Now here is something strange we found out from talking to Finns. Many of them actually enjoy Winter and prefer it to Summer! Yes Winter is their time. Our hostess at the Bed and Breakfast said with a fond and dreamy expression, "Ahhh – We have the ice hockey, we have the skating, and we have the skiing. There is much more fun things to do in Winter!" and "Sauna is better in the Winter!" and "There are no mosquito's and sandflies in winter".
I can't imagine, when daylight is reduced to about 3 – 4 hours a day, snow is banked up all over the place and the temperature is around minus 20 degrees regularly, that you would prefer Winter to Summer? But part of the not so fond feeling for Summer is the rain. It was raining as she spoke to us about her love of Winter. Afternoon Summer rain just pelts down, making it almost impossible to drive and enjoy any sightseeing
Having no night time too, is very hard to get used to in a Finnish Summer. There is no actual night at this time of year. Our bodies are not used to this and even if the curtains are pulled, we go to sleep when it is still light and wake up at 2.00 or 3.00 in the morning to full daylight and have difficulty going back to sleep. In summer the Finns take holidays from work, stay in lakeside cabins that, no matter how basic and rustic, all have saunas. They hike, fish, relax - and wait for their favourite time of the year, winter!. With no cold weather to send them indoors, and no change between night and day, the young Finns party hard in Summer. There are music festivals everywhere and clubs and pubs stay open all night. We have often been wakened by enthusiastic drunks throughout the night hours.
But I digress. Our next couple of days with the hire car saw us drive through picturesque countryside with impossibly bright green and yellow fields, contrasting against red wooden barns that often have a jaunty lean to the roof and walls. Everything is tidy and oganised. I don't believe in all our time travelling around the Scandinavian countries, we have come across messy farms or house yards. Neat colourfully painted letterboxes are grouped on the roadside, for the farms that are off the main road
Our next stop in the Finland countryside was a UNESCO listed old wooden church at Pet�j�vesi. (I can put those funny dots above the vowels if I want to, as I have a Swedish keyboard on this new computer!) This church is a Lutheran church built in 1763 and is pretty much in the original state, particularly inside. It was listed as an example of how central European architecture style was applied to buildings made entirely of wood. Finland of course abounds with wood as a building material, being the most forested country in the world.
Another historical site we enjoyed in rural Finland was in a tiny town called Verla. Here is preserved a mill built in 1872 to process wood into pulp board. It had at the time of operation the highest reputation for their product, which was used for book covers, cigar boxes and high quality cardboard. Outside of Finland, the finished product was sold to Russia and Central Europe. The processing plant was only closed in the 1960 's and it was only closed when the last of the workers who were mostly women and all in their 70's decided it was time. It was turned into a museum shortly after so the whole process and equipment can be seen and understood. We did a guided tour and found it fascinating to learn how trees were turned into cardboard in the late 19th century
Our last UNESCO sites we chose to see in Finland were in fact markers of meridian measurement that form the Struve Geodetic Arc. Struve's Arc was the first extensive and accurate meridian measurement that could be used for determining the shape of the earth and the measurements took place between 1816 and 1855. UNESCO has listed the Arc so we visited 2 sites which were in quite isolated country areas, on dirt roads and then required a climb to find the markers. There were many markers originally however UNESCO have listed 34 points, stretching through 10 countries.
We had one night back in Helsinki, staying close to the airport this time, in readiness for our 3 flights the next day that would take us to our next destination of Iceland
Travel Tip: Struve Geodetic Arc directions. The coordinates given (N61 55 36 E25 32 01) for the Oravivuori Marker at Korphilahti, do not take you to the entry point to the climb up to the marker. They do however take you close enough to follow the UNESCO signs, although the actual entry to the path is not easy to see.
The coordinates given for (N60 16 35 E26 36 12) for the Mustaviiri marker at Pyhtaa showed on our GPS as invalid. When we asked around the town we could not find anyone who knew of the UNESCO site.
The final point we looked for was Porlammi, near the village of Lapinjarvi. The coordinates given (N60 42 17 E26 00 12) actually agreed with the sign posting, and located easily. The spot to climb from however is not well marked, and located a couple hundred meters before the car park.
Footnote: Petajavesi Old Church, Struve Geodetic Arc and Verla Groundwood and Board Mill are all UNESCO World Heritage listed.

Movie Review - The Company You Keep

Things promise to get tense but never really do in the quasi-political thriller The Company You Keep.

Director: Robert Redford
Rating: R
Studio: Voltage Pictures
Stars: Robert Redford, Brit Marling, Stanley Tucci
Things promise to get tense but never really do in the quasi-political thriller The Company You Keep. Directed by Robert Redford from Lem Dobbs' screenplay adaptation of Neil Gordon's novel of the same name, the movie focuses on a snot-nosed, cocky journalist (Shia LaBeouf) who sniffs out an amiable, under-the-radar Albany, New York lawyer and single father (played, improbably, by Robert Redford) who has long concealed his identity as a former member of the '70s radical activist Weather Underground, a highly controversial group ignited by the anti-Vietnam War movement.
What kicks off as an atmospheric chase turns generic and, worse, arthritic. Redford spends much of the film running not only from LaBeouf and FBI agents Terrence Howard and Anna Kendrick (in a baffling performance) but also toward an elusive, glamorous former colleague who has remained committed to the cause (Julie Christie). Along the way, Redford picks up clues to Christie's whereabouts from former comrades Richard Jenkins (always good), Nick Nolte, Sam Elliott and Susan Sarandon, the last of whom gets nabbed and imprisoned by the Feds after three decades as a suburban wife and mother. "Our government was killing millions," she reminds interviewer LaBeouf, who grills her in jail in one of the best moments of the entire film. Too bad Sarandon gets kicked to the curb, because her scenes are written and played with a biting poignancy and complexity sorely absent from the rest of the overly talky, unfocused film.
Along the way, there's much talk about old feuds, resentments, commitments and whether raging against the machine was worth a damn in the long run. After all, as the movie intimates, millions are still being killed. The casting of the aging Redford and his famed, politically impassioned costars gives the movie a resonance and melancholy that hint at what the movie could have been. But The Company You Keep is so fuzzy, shambling and detached that the punch never lands.

I spent one week with four friends. The apartamente is very comfortable, clean, free internet and above all well connected, in 10 minute you are in front of Stephansdom!
The only problem was a not optimal ventilation of the kitchen and the bathroom, both without window.
I spent six days in Vienna to celebrate New Year's Eve.
The accommodation is a spacious apartment, very clean and equipped with all appliances. Owners are very helpful and friendly.
The area is quiet and comfortable to all transportation (metro, tram or bus) to quickly reach the city center and there are shops, restaurants, pubs and supermarkets.
Thank Walter for your hospitality and for your kindness. :)
We had a great time in Vienna. Walter and his wife has been very helpful and easy going. We arrived late at night and it was never an issue which we appreciated very much. The rooms are all big and spacious and all facilities works perfectly. The only reason this is not getting 5 stars is because we only was given 3 bath towels upon arrival and we were 4 people, another towel arrived the next day.
I do recommend this accommodation as it is good value for money.
It was close to the metro station. From ther you can go every where in Vienna.
The tickets for the metro we bought at the cigarette shop downstairs.
We arrived with the boat from Budapest and made a choise for this appertment because you can easily walk from the ferry to this appartment.we made this choise.
The website of the ferry company is http://www.mahartpassnave.hu
Great position: metro, supermarkets, discounts, fast foods, restaurants, the danube etc; everything you need nearby.
Allocators very kind and helpful!
Good apartment, confortable with everything you need.
Great experience, beautiful Wien, I would definitely recommend this apartment.
The apartment Hernalser Guertel 47 in Vienna is very beautiful. The entrance could be some effort, the number of outlets is small. With 4 people we tarried extremely comfortable. That the 38 'was did not detract from our stay at the apartment. The contacts iz the key circuit were warmly. Highly recommended!. Moreover, with a U-Bahnhof at the door and many nice local shops
Birgit and Walter were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate their flexibility about checking in and out. The apartment was clean and comfortable. My sons loved the cheerful atmosphere of the yellow room and were happy to arrive "home" after the day full of exciting programs. :-)
The kitchen is well equipped for cooking dinner in the evenings and the foodstore was really near too.
Vienna public transport is excellent and it was really convenient that the apartment is only a couple of minutes away from the underground station and tram stops.
During the weekend we parked our car in the street, the other days we used a public parking house at the underground station (3EUR/day).
This was the first trip abroad with my sons and we loved every moment of it! Thanks a lot!
We had a lovely stay in Vienna. This apartment was a great choice for access to public transport. It was also very quiet even though it overlooks a busy road. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
We rented two apartments from Walter in this building. The apartments were comfortable and clean, and the location is very good. There is an U-Bahn station right downstairs which will get you to the center of Vienna in 20 minutes. Very easy to get around. The Prater is a 10 minute walk. There are a few restaurants close by - nothing special - but good for a quick meal.
I would stay here again if coming back to Vienna. What a beautiful city! Give yourself at least 1/2 a day at the Schonbrunn Palace. Even if you don't like classical music, take a tour of the Musikverein. Take the tram around the Ringstrasse.
We were very happy to stay in this apartment. Very close to Prater Park and traveling with children this could't be better.
The surroundings are really fine. Lots of green and close to stores and restaurants.
Very nice and clean apartment. We had a great stay in Vienna.

2005 GTA News Roundup
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 09:48 AM MDT | By Neil
I don't think you need me to tell you there's been little news on the GTA front as of late, but since there's been a few, minor stories worth noting, this roundup is here to clarify a number of things.
Firstly, Grand Theft Auto on PlayStation Portable. Online retailer EBGames has been advertising a date of May 15, 2005 on their website. Unfortunately, several sources within the games media have seen this as 'inside information' leading them to believe that a date has been confimed to the retailer by Rockstar. Further confusion arose when a few Grand Theft Auto fansites posted that Gamespot.com were showing the same date on their gamespace. Well, the bad news is that Gamespot and EBGames' databases are linked, whatever date EBGames posts will appear on the Gamespot website, and whatever screenshots Gamespot post will appear on the EBGames website. Also, it should be taken into account that it is not unknown for retailers to place incredibly speculative dates online in order to receive media coverage and thus, boost preorder numbers and sales.
We may, however, find out details of the PSP Grand Theft Auto later this week when Take 2 Games report their First Quarter Fiscal 2005 results on Thursday. These press statements are mainly aimed at investors, but often contain details on forthcoming games. The last time Take 2 reported, we received release dates for the Xbox and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, so keep your eyes peeled on GTAGaming for all the latest news this Thursday.
Keeping with the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, top games magazine PC Gamer claim to have a 'first look' feature on the game in their next issue, which hits stores on May 5th. (Thanks RCAgent!). We'll bring any information about the game as soon as it's available.
Finally, there's no news on the next Grand Theft Auto game. Gamesradar claimed to have insight into Take 2's trademark registrations, but their article was riddled with inaccuracies and their predictions of Grand Theft Auto: Tokyo and Bogota are completely false.

|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Bedrooms
The data on bedrooms were obtained from Housing Question 8 in the 2006 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. The number of bedrooms is the count of rooms designed to be used as bedrooms, that is, the number of rooms that would be listed as bedrooms if the house, apartment, or mobile home were on the market for sale or for rent. Included are all rooms intended to be used as bedrooms even if they currently are being used for some other purpose. A housing unit consisting of only one room is classified, by definition, as having no bedroom.
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a response category for "None" and space for the respondent to enter a number. Since 1999, the American Community Survey question provided pre-coded response categories.
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Gross Rent
The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to Housing Questions 14a-d and 18 in the 2006 American Community Survey. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of water and sewer, and fuels are reported on a 12-month basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of rent are shown separately as "No cash rent" in the tabulations.
Adjusting Gross Rent for Inflation
To inflate gross rent amounts from previous years, the dollar values are inflated to the latest years dollar values by multiplying by a factor equal to the average annual Consumer Price Index (CPI-U-RS) factor for the current year, divided by the average annual CPI-U-RS factor for the earlier/earliest year.
Median Gross Rent
Median gross rent divides the gross rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median gross rent and one-half above the median. Median gross rent is computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the Standard Distributions section under "Derived Measures.") Median gross rent is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on medians, see "Derived Measures.")
Aggregate Gross Rent
Aggregate gross rent is calculated by adding together all the gross rents for all specified housing units in an area. Aggregate gross rent is rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information, see Aggregate under "Derived Measures.")
Since 1996, the American Community Survey questions have remained the same.

Here's a conservation tip: Stop population growth
Original post made by Jackie Leonard-Dimmick, Atherton: other, on May 2, 2007
We each express "conservation" in different ways. Even with "Earth Day" though, there still is one area of "conservation" and acting responsibly to the environment that receives little attention: over-population. Mr. Marsala stated, "The earth's population has grown from 1.8 billion in 1900 to 6.5 billion today." What uses natural resources? What pollutes? People!
Excessive reproduction is as harmful to our planet as excessive consumption. Even with wars, famine, disease and disasters the population continues to explode. It doesn't have to. There are as many ways to express the qualities of "motherhood" and "fatherhood" without having children, as there are children who are in need of these qualities.
Couples world-wide could consider having one child -- two at most -- then opening their arms to those who are starving for attention and love. It is just as important to address this issue for a healthy planet as it is to address those that are continually being addressed.
(The above was published as a letter to the editor in the Almanac's May 2 print edition.)

I'm doing my part! By taking some pets from the animal shelter instead of kids we're easily out-conserving anyone with even one child. Limiting your fertility is the greenest possible thing you can do by far. All the recycling and solar panels and hybrids and compact fluorescents and bicycling and telecommuting and vegan/vegetarianism and eating locally and whatever else humans might think to do to cut their CO2/warming/environmental impact on this earth cannot even come close to offsetting the impact of putting another human or two onto this earth. Think of it, each new human not only has a HUGE direct impact, but most of them wind up creating more humans. It's like cancerous cells throwing off toxins as they replicate unchecked and spread all over the face of the earth. Having big families is a far worse environmental tragedy than, say, those who choose to living wastefully and large in a big house with a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs in the garage.
But this kind of talk is heresy. Almost no environmentalists or environmental groups dares focus on this. Look at the Sierra Club! They practically had an internal meltdown over fear/unwillingness to take a position on population & immigration. It's too politically hot! Political correctness, cowardice and religion may yet (or already) have doomed mankind.

The Sierra Club "debate" was over US immigration policies, NOT global overpopulation. That's a crucial distinction.
And the "debate" itself came about because a bunch of outsiders saw a way that they thought they could exploit to essentially take over the org and focus it on the immigration issue. Didn't work, but it did take away from the Club's ability to work on the global warming issue as it had to spend a lot of energy fighting the takeover attempt. As such, some believe that the whole thing was a deliberate attempt by the right-wing to cripple the Club.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.

It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

METAIRIE (AP) — The New Orleans Saints have selected Oklahoma's Kenny Stills Jr. with their fifth round pick in the NFL draft.
The 6-foot, 194-pound Stills was New Orleans' first pick on Saturday because the club dealt its fourth-round pick as part of a trade with Miami in order to select Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins with the 82nd overall pick Friday night.
Stills, the son of former NFL safety Kenny Stills, had a 40-yard dash time of 4.38 at the NFL combine. His uncle, Gary Stills, also played in the NFL, at linebacker.
Last season, Stills was named All-Big 12 after making 82 receptions for 959 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Stills joins New Orleans' first-round pick, Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro and its other third-rounder, offensive tackle Terron Armstead of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
The selection of Stills marks the third straight season that New Orleans drafted a player whose father played in the NFL. Two seasons ago, it was two in the first round in Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram. Last year, it was Nick Toon.
Stills, who grew up in San Diego and who during high school ran routes for Drew Brees during Brees' offseason workouts, started 38 games for the Sooners. He had 2,594 yards receiving and 24 TDs in his three seasons at Oklahoma. His 204 receptions rank third in school history.
He also returned punts periodically and ran the ball a few times.
In 2010, he set Oklahoma freshman marks for receptions with 61 and yards receiving with 786.

Step 1
To make the stuffed peppers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Plunge bell peppers into the boiling water and cook until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain, shaking out any water that may have accumulated in the cavities. Set the bell peppers, cut side up, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in currants (or raisins) and sun-dried tomatoes to taste. Add broth, bulgur, cinnamon and allspice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the bulgur is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in pine nuts and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Spoon the bulgur filling into the bell peppers. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro (or parsley).
Step 5
To make the sauce: Stir together yogurt, garlic and salt. Serve alongside the bell peppers.

I would not do it. We are not allowed to post links to other forums, otherwise I'd send ya to a thread about the 9mm M&Ps as of late.
Apparently the 45 and 40 versions do not suffer from accuracy problems... But there are a fair share of complaints about the 9mm M&Ps. The accuracy seems to suck on them, and people are trying to fix the issues. Some are putting in aftermarket barrels and stronger recoil springs. Apparently, there is a lock time issue. The threads about it go on for pages, and it seems to have supporting documentation - not just some people's opinions.
I bought an M&P 9mm Shield, and I really like it. When the M&P line comes out with the same trigger as the Shield - I'd like to buy a fullsize 9mm M&P. But not with this issue until it goes away

Golden City of 10,000 Spires
Trip Start Jan 07, 2004
11Trip End Jan 27, 2004
Greetings from Eastern Europe! I arrived safely in Prague, the golden city of 10,000 spires. The city is an architectural treasure. Unlike many European cities, Prague survived both WWII and communism. Throughout the city it is easy to see Romantic, Gothic, Art Nouveau, Renaissance, Baroque and even Romanesque buildings.
One of my favorite treats was visiting the performance halls. The first night, I went to the Estates Theater for a performance of Mozart's Magic Flute. It's an opera performed in Czech with German subtitles. I've never appreciated a libretto more. It was fun to watch the ballet corps alternate with the opera chorus in the same performance. I love the audience here too, very quiet and attentive. All in a very baroque hall
Prague is renowned for all its crooked streets. I paid close attention to my map and still got lost. But it was good. I stumbled across a farmers' market with lots of artists selling hand-made crafts. Too tempting to pass up! So I picked up several sketches of the city's main sights. My last night here a light snow started falling. All around town people were taking an evening stroll. Kind of like a European Norman Rockwell painting.
There's one thing I noticed about all the cities on my itinerary - the layout. Specifically, a castle on a hill overlooking a river. I think that was essential for a city's survival throughout different eras. Prague is no different. The King's Walk is an old path used by royalty. It proceeds from the castle, down the hill, across a bridge and into the old town square. The reverse route was taken by prisoners condemned to die. Along St Charles Bridge are many statues at which many would stop to pray
To cover all the cities on this trip, I brought along three different travel guide books. One characterizes Prague as having a long struggle for independence. I saw reminders of that throughout the city. Many remember Wenceslas Square, where the Velvet Revolution of 1989 forced the communists out of power. Next to the Old Town Clock Tower are 27 white crosses, memorializing 27 Protestant rebels who were beheaded in 1621. In the center of Old Town Square is a statue of Jan Hus, a priest who was burned at the stake in 1415. Also, the Jewish Museum was actually designed by Hitler as a remembrance to his extinguished race.

Loeffler to be tried in wife's death Sept. 17th
Affidavit lays out conflicting stories to police
BEND, Ore. - A Sept. 17th murder trial date was set Tuesday for an 86-year-old La Pine-area man accused of fatally shooting his 83-year-old wife, as court documents revealed he claimed to have done so because he was sure his wife and daughter were conspiring to kill him.
Attorneys in the case of Lawrence Loeffler met with Deschutes County Circuit Judge Michael Adler to set the start of the eight-day trial.
Loeffler, who pleaded not guilty earlier this month to the fatal shooting of his wife, Betty, was not required to appear at Tuesday's trial-scheduling hearing.
Meanwhile, the search warrant affidavit in the case has been unsealed, revealing more details in the Jan. 28 shooting at the Loefflers' home near La Pine.
The documents describe interviews in which at first, Loeffler described fighting with his wife and being scared for his life before shooting her twice.
They say that later he described overhearing her the night before in a phone conversation that convinced him there was a plot against his life. The documents say he told investigators that the next morning, he shoved his wife from the kitchen where she was boiling water and shot her in the back of the neck.

I am looking to buy a Tacoma but I can't find out what the difference between a SR5, prerunner, and just a regular Tacoma. I have thourghly examined Toyota's website and brochures and cannot fing anything about it. Can anyone help me with this dilemma?
what year? its probably just that the others have more options. im sure the x runner is a sports tuned one.
ok, i did a little research and the pre runner is an off road one, the xrunner is a sports one, and im not sure about the SR5
The Prerunner is not an offroad vehicle it only comes in 2 wheel drive not sure where the off road intel came from. The prerunner only comes in the the V6 option as well, whereas the SR5 come's in V4 and V6..
