What amazes me is that CNN still tows an anti-gun line, even as guns are becoming more socially accepted. Gallup polls tell the tale, even 55% of democrats have a "favorable" view of the NRA for goodness sake.
I have been done with them since day one. Don't you know that they stand for Communist News Network.
Instead of calling it the news, it should be called the "corporate political spin".

I' keep an eye on all of 'em. Sometimes it good to know what's on their minds.
contrived news network?
with all the propaganda that they run and all the false news stories it is more like a reality show than a news show
That's not even in the apples and oranges category of bad comparisons. These writers are/were both lawyers? I suppose both of them would just as soon toss out the BoR, just like fearful leader.Nothing in our Constitution even vaguely promotes the redress of grievances with guns; the "redress of grievances" clause of the First Amendment has nothing to with the "right to bear arms" described in the Second Amendment. Rather, what the Constitution protects is the ability to redress our grievances by petitioning our government.
The only common sense gun legislation was written about 226 years ago.
I carry always not because I go places trouble is likely, but because trouble has a habit of not staying in its assigned zone.
My doctor gave me medication for my blood pressure and advised me against getting angry and uptight so I stopped watching them YEARS ago. I couldn't even name one their shows..
Why?? Because at the last second, the Police are minutes away.
The article hits all of the low points: race (without a demonstrable pattern), indictment of SYG law itself (with democratic approval), guns kill the wrong people and cause crime (reputable news sources and our most fundamental institutions don't find this), and speculation of experts (fallacy). The article fails in its final lament to "[equip with] knowledge it takes to frame a good and righteous petition". That is certainly a prime benefit of the fourth estate. Don't expect any "good and rightous petitions" from this CNN entry.

text: HomeYour BlogsMaking A Big Deal of A Small Garden With many of us downsizing, a smaller house usually inevitably means a smaller garden as well. We're so used to upsizing everything our whole lives, making everything bigger and better, it can come as a shock when we have less room and less space to work with than we were previously used to. However, this change allows one to explore a different type of gardening. Instead of a sprawling lawn you can now concentrate on the little details and create an intimate oasis in which to relax. To complement other techniques to maximise the style of your interior space, here are some ideas to make a big impact with a smaller outdoor area. Making Less Mean More The phrase less is more is the key when designing and working on small gardens. A small garden gives the opportunity to focus on what is really important to you in your garden and concentrate on making the best of those things without having to add extra frills that do not perhaps interest you. Simplicity is key and choosing a few standout features to enhance will create a better impact rather than trying to fit too much into a small space. Gardens are about so much more than flowers and plants. They are effectively another room in your house, albeit an exterior one, and you can take the opportunity to decorate it as such. Garden furniture, pretty lighting, and ornamental features can all add something special to catch the eye. Interior Ideas Outside An easy decorative way to add a dimension of space to your garden is by placing a mirror on your garden wall. It will not only make your outdoor room look bigger by reflecting light but it adds a great enhancing feature itself and looks very stylish! Outdoor furniture is usually the focal point of most small gardens so it needs to be attractive. Keep garden furniture small but functional for relaxing and entertaining purposes. Wire furniture and table and chair sets are best for creating the illusion of space as the eye sees through them. Just A Little Work There are of course other potential advantages to a smaller garden, less work in upkeep required for one. Many small gardens do not incorporate a lawned area and instead opt to simply have plants in pots or climbing foliage that do not take up much floor space. Another idea for hosting your favourite flowers is to attach shelves for plants to the garden wall. This feature could also be used to include herb pots into your design – providing delicious options indoors for eating and entertaining. This is great if floor space is an issue and also brightens up an otherwise plain wall at the same time. If you do prefer a tiled or paved garden remember that lots of small stone settings, as opposed to fewer large slabs, make the floor space appear bigger. Use a variety of stones and gravel to make the garden look visually appealing overall and create a textually interesting space. There is more pressure in a small garden to keep everything very neat and tidy as nothing goes unnoticed, hence why minor design details are so important. Smaller gardens make sitting and entertaining so wonderful because every aspect is in view and can be truly taken in and appreciated. Touches such as ambient lighting, small decorative features that would otherwise go unnoticed in a large garden, and being surrounded by selected chosen favourites (plants wise) can make the experience such an uplifting one.

beautiful Winter Dusk NecklaceJanuary 22, 2009
I made the "Winter Dusk Necklace" in the Jewelry Ideas from the Learning Center using this bead and made up earrings from the leftover chain and extra crystals that I purchased w/the "ingredients" for the necklace. She was Thrilled and really loved it. She is redheaded and wears a lot of black so the copper/gunmetal combination was wonderful for her. I only wish the back of this bead was more finished.

RHINELANDER (WAOW) - A Rhinelander man accused of shooting his uncle in the abdomen and critically wounding him has entered insanity pleas to three felonies.
Marcus L. Alsteens, 23, of Rhinelander, was charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, aggravated battery and injury by negligent use of a weapon or explosive in the Aug. 12 shooting of 49-year-old Justin F. Alsteens at the home they shared in Rhinelander.
An argument over household chores prompted the shooting, according to the criminal complaint.
Marcus Alsteens pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to the charges during a court appearance Monday, according to online court records.
In September, Oneida County Circuit Judge Patrick O'Melia ruled that Alsteens was competent to understand the court proceedings after reviewing a doctor's report.
With the insanity pleas, Alsteens will be further evaluated by doctors. No trial date has been set, online records said.

False Alarm: Defective Radeon Report "Completely Untrue"
Chris Ram
August 8, 2007 9:28 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Reports claiming that defective Radeons surfaced at top-tier manufacturers prove false
recent article from
had many graphics partners pointing a finger at AMD for several thousand potentially faulty Radeon HD 2600 and HD 2400 products. Specifically,
claimed "One first-tier maker has recalled over 20,000-30,000 units already, noted the sources."
Although the article stated that Asustek Computers, Micro-Star International (MSI) and Gigabyte Technology all experienced a problem with improperly flashed cards, all three manufacturers have since denied the existence of any such defect.
Several product managers and engineers were left scratching their heads when confronted about receiving batches of faulty Radeon HD parts. ASUS representatives, speaking on the condition of anonymity, claim that no journalists inquired to the company about faulty Radeon-series graphic adaptors, and that the company has not found a single defective in its inventory.
When approached as to the nature of the defect, a Taiwanese graphics adaptor engineer stated, "ATI did deliver some chips without UVD to Acer for one of its projects and that's it. All chips delivered to other OEM and ODM has the UVD enabled." Universal Video Decoder, or UVD, is a hardware acceleration unit found on the Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 graphics processors.
That same engineer suspects Acer is where the notion of a defect or recall may have occurred.
Acer, the world's fourth largest branded PC vendor occasionally orders one-off products from its suppliers. Since the parts were ordered without UVD support it one would be hard pressed to consider them defective. Acer's OEM partners include ECS and Asustek.
MSI and Gigabyte have no knowledge of receiving either products without hardware UVD support or defective ROMs. Both companies went on to say that internal testing of the HD 2K-series has not shown problems related to UVD support.
A Gigabyte official spoke to
on the record with regard to the defect report. "We can confirm that all shipping AMD Radeon HD 2400s and ATI Radeon HD 2600s have working UVD functionality," he stated. "We are shipping a number of HD 2400 A13s and their UVD functionality is enabled in the August Catalyst driver drop. All of the remaining HD 2400s, and all of the HD 2600s, have UVD support in the current driver."
One AMD engineer, also speaking on terms of anonymity, claim that there are no cards in the channel with a UVD problem and they are unaware of faulty products leaving the factory. "Any report claiming that defective HD 2600 and 2400 [cards] are recalled in the channel is completely untrue."

G37 Camo SpiedNot sure what to think of this. They have always had a very polarizing style. The things that stand out to me are the LEDs in the front bumper (turn signals or day time LEDs) and the LED on the rear bumper. I hate the fact they put lights on the bumpers, there is no reason to have lights on your bumper. First off they don't look good and second it makes a cheap fender bender into something more. Now with Senors and LED lights in a bumper you just trippled the cost.
The shape looks about the same. Quite honestly, I forget about Infiniti sometimes, they just don't advertise very well.
I hope its not like mini-M. That thing is way bulbous.

Top 10 Champagne trends for 2012
6. Lower dosage levels & blanc de blancs/noirs will gain greater prominence
Diversification is a key word in the broader Champagne category. With rosé's slight hiccup in recent years, there has apparently been a return to "white" Champagne, according to Philipponnat.
This opens up the possibility of marketing lower dosage Champagnes, blanc de blancs and blanc de noirs. As Garance Thiénot, director of marketing and communications at Champagne Thiénot, explains: "It is important for a Champagne house to have a range of Champagnes to offer its customers.
"Non-vintage will always be the leading product but it is vital to have other styles, if only in small quantities, to give established markets more of a choice."
The chief argument for the potential growth of low dosage and blanc de blancs/noirs wines as stylistic trends, lies in their respective appeal to current tastes and ease of explanation.
Philipponnat for one sees the NV category splitting into two different dosage levels to cater for those that prefer their brut Champagnes bone dry.
He says: "Brut zero is increasingly popular but it's not a category, more of a trend towards drinking drier. It may split NV into two different dosage levels. Brut zero will conquer a larger chunk of the market little by little."
It should be noted that back in March 2011, Moët & Chandon announced that it was dropping the dosage levels in its Brut Impérial from 12 grams per litre to 9 g/l. This news followed an announcement that Dom Pérignon had also lowered its dosage to between 6-7 g/l. Cellar master Richard Geoffroy said at the time that over the last 10 years, "there has been a strategy of lowering the dosage."
James Simpson MW, sales director at Pol Roger Portfolio, says that the on-trade in particular is a good market for low dosage (although Waitrose and The Wine Society are also good clients) and, "hence volumes are up year on year but off a fairly small base." He states its usefulness in the "fashionable" accounts of Harvey Nichols and J. Sheekey, the latter in particular as "a) it is great with oysters and b) it has a reputation as a 'diet Champagne'."
As for blanc de blancs, Philipponnat says it is an easy style to understand, more so than vintage, which continues to struggle. Simpson reports that Pol Roger has been doubling volumes of its blanc de blancs year on year. And if blanc des blancs is successful then its stands to reason that its opposite, blanc des noirs, will find admirers too. Krug of course decided to complement its pure Chardonnay Clos du Mesnil with a pure Pinot counterpart, Clos d'Ambonnay.
As Françoise Perretti, director of the Champagne Bureau, comments: "People understand when you say 'one of' something."

Where I stayed
hotel bromo premai
What we got was a lil mini van with some big fat loud mouth local girl who had to sit behind my seat (no room for her belly) instead of behind the seat that was unoccupied... and was the whole time screaming in my ear.
Beyond the disappointment with the bus and being completely mislead.
We had asked the driver if he so could to take us to our hotel if it was on the way.
Instead he drives about 20 blocks PAST our hotel purposely at 3 30 am and takes us to a travel agent who just starts spitting out more lies then a used car dealership.
He tells us our hotel is closed until 6am and that they will charge us for 2 nights and the hotel sucks, and instead we should let him take us to another place by mount bromo, and i ask well can our driver take us to our hotel like he promised to verify this?
Nope he refused despite having driven right past it he out right F*CKed us.
Not wanting to let them earn money on this scam we walked all the way back in the middle of the night probably 45 min walk lucky found our hotel, and surprise it was open!! and they never charged us for 2 nights what a surprise eh??
The people at this hotel as recomended per lonely planet were really nice and kind.
Now dealing with this shit as a traveler is something we get stuck having to deal with every single day, i think the reason i'm so annoyed this time is coz i am sick tired with a bad stomach and big head ache.
Could that mean i've had my fill of 3rd world adventures? am i ready to go back to reality?
If only reality wasn't so damn boring.
Beyond that we been walking around town today and there are zero foreigners in town and the local people are really friendly smiling and saying hi mister.
Its just the friggin tourist industry people of the world that are just complete assholes. heres my list of worst tourist industry countries.
no specific order
costa rica
Now just to repeat i love the locals, Hate the tourist industry.

Pure Power 09/21/2011
This review is from: CyberPower OR1500LCDRTXL2U 1500 VA 1125 W 8 Outlets UPS
Rackmountable, 8x 15amp battery backup outlets that are broken into two groups of four with individual circut breakers for both groups.
The LCD panel is a VERY nice touch allowing you to scroll through your output wattage, input/output voltage and Hz, it also gives you a % of what your total power draw through the unit is out of the 1125w availible, tells you your battery charge % and an estimated runtime based on the current power draw, The LCD has a blackout timmer if not used (30sec aprox) usefull when you dont want that bright blue screen on. heavy duty construction and good doubble box packaging.
Weights 60lbs
The side rack monts are confusing to use.
The front cover is made of plastic for some reason???
Other Thoughts:
Shipping cost, although it was nice to see the delivery guy used a dolly to bring it up to the door and then offered to roll it to my computer lab if i wanted.
It requires a common 15amp 120v outlet, the unit is a tade more then 300w below the 80% constant wattage usage "electrical code" for a 15amp circut.
I highly recommend this unit, it well worth the money for any one who has massive power consumption needs.

First time on site. I am days away from purchasing Tiguan SE. I live in Lake Tahoe and had to retire my limited Jeep cherokee. Will I need snow tires for the Tiguan?? I am getting conflicting answers from the dealers.
Welcome to VWOC!
What kind of conflicting info are you getting from the dealer? Do you have the 4-Motion Tiguan or FWD?
To expand on this, if you have FWD and given your location in the mountains, I would get a set of winter wheels and tires. If you have the 4-Motion then you should be ok with all-season tires unless you drive through snow and /or hills on a regular basis (given you're in Tahoe I assume that's a good bet) and need a more aggressive tread pattern to better handle those conditions. In the end you have to go with what you feel comfortable. I have a set of winter wheels and tires on my car even though the roads don't stay snowy long around here, but that's because I also have a set of summer tires I use the rest of the year whose traction is not ideal for winter conditions below 40/45 degrees.

Keep in mind that winter tires also stay pliable in cold weather. below about 44F, all seasons turn to hard plastic so to speak. Having driven on both in the winter over the years. I will never again use all seasons in the winter. From others i heat the 2WD Tiguan with winter tires is great performer and the 4-motion a stellar performer.

The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) is an epidemiologic surveillance system that was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor the prevalence of youth behaviors that most influence health.
The 1999 national school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is one component of the YRBSS.
The YRBS focuses on priority health-risk behaviors established during youth that result in the most significant mortality, morbidity, disability, and social problems during both youth and adulthood. These include: behaviors that result in unintentional and intentional injuries; tobacco use; alcohol and other drug use; sexual behaviors that result in HIV infection, other sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs), and unintended pregnancies; dietary behaviors; and physical activity.

Explore this fascinating ancient land - two billion years in the making
Over two billion years, Mother Nature has been busy sculpting some of the world's most magnificent gorges, caves and rock formations in the outback of Western Australia. Exploring this ancient land you'll encounter many other-worldly landscapes, from the Pinnacles to the Bungle Bungle Ranges.
In World Heritage listed Purnululu National Park lie the giant beehive-shaped domes of the Bungle Bungle Range. Over 350 million years in the making, this natural wonder remained hidden from the world until as recently as the 1980s. Trekking through or flying over the range is an exhilarating experience not to be missed.
Another of Australia's most fascinating natural landscapes can be found just two hours' drive north of Perth, in Nambung National Park. Here, the limestone spires of the Pinnacles pierce the golden desert sands, some standing several metres tall. Follow the scenic drive, walk the trail or join a tour from Perth or Cervantes.
Head a few hundred kilometres inland from the coast of Perth and you can surf WA's biggest wave as it rises 15m over the surrounding outback nature reserve. Known as Wave Rock, this curious granite formation has been shaped over two billion years.
Take an amazing journey through the Earth's history in Karijini National Park – one of Western Australia's largest and arguably most spectacular national parks. Descend into cavernous gorges, swim beneath plunging waterfalls and scale some of the oldest rocks in the world, dating back two billion years.
Further north, in the Kimberley wilderness, you'll discover the fascinating fossils and formations of a prehistoric reef system in the sheer 100-metre-high walls of Windjana Gorge and a plethora of wildlife at Geikie Gorge.
Western Australia's outback coast is just as spectacular. 400-million-year-old river gorges and coastal rock formations create must-snap photo opportunities and awesome outdoor adventures in Kalbarri National Park, while the rugged red canyons of Cape Range National Park offer a striking contrast to the vivid blue hues of Ningaloo – rich in native wildlife and Indigenous heritage.
Pack your torch and enter the subterranean world of the oldest cave system in Western Australia – Tunnel Creek. You can venture as far as 750 metres into the darkest depths of the cave, encountering bats and freshwater crocs along the way.
At twice the size of Uluru, Mount Augustus is the world's largest monolith. The best ways to appreciate its enormity and beauty are to climb to the 860-metre-high summit, drive the 49-kilometre scenic base trail, or watch the rock reflecting the colours of sunrise and sunset from Emu Hill Lookout.

A Few of the Great Ideas I've Had
1) I got the alphabet tattooed around my right ankle in 1990. This is just one of those things that, once seen, seems so inevitable, or obvious, it's like "why aren't there hundreds and even thousands of people walking around with the alphabet tattooed around various limbs and joints?" Often I am asked, by someone who thinks they are being very clever, if I am a teacher of small children. I suppose this seems a great teaching tool. "No," I think, "I'm a person who uses words." At a poetry reading the other day I saw a much younger woman with the letters of the alphabet, writ very small, scattered to random effect all over her body. She was showing a lot of skin.
2) Sushi at interstate rest stops. If they can do it at supermarkets . . .
3) A t-shirt that reads: "Soho Gives Me Hives"; another that reads: "Why Are You Dressed Like A Hooker?" (This first one is pertinent mostly for native New Yorkers; the second may have passed its moment of application, which I think was the early 2000s.)
4) Virtual graveyards, and a searchable database of gravesites, so you could go and visit whomever, whenever.
Comments (9)
Well, there's this
but that sushi thing, that's probably not going to happen.
Great stuff. On #1, maybe you could mess with people by telling them you got the tat to help you cheat on a test in first grade…been there ever since.
The graveyard databases are actually out there, believe it or not, and growing. Once, my brother-in-law and I thought it would be a good idea to put flat screens in tombstones so that the (wealthy) dead could tell their story to those visiting their grave. To our disappointment, this had already been done as well.
I have the following tattooed on my chest:
Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old
is the tat a pal had done when he joined up and when to go guard the Falkland islands in the South Atlantic, half way round the world from Lancashire.
Smashing up my toys as a child: there was always one which would break if you didn't hit it hard enough with the small lumphammer I had stolen when I was seven; from the back of a next door neightbour's van. She was a contractor, a single mother and I stole all her tools because I hated her kids, who bullied me continually for most of my childhood – from the age of 2 and a half to seventeen.
I found a counsellor and Zen mistress in the local BYO restaraunt where I was working after leaving school at 15, after becoming something of a problem child because of the bullying. I used to do a lot of weed there with the women and one man who worked there: or rather, volunteered.
It was a Collective: BYO dining experience and Art gallery for the homeless and those afflicted by drink and drug addiction. I was in pretty mad shape back then, and had just stumbled into Mahayana (Sanskrit: महायान, mahāyāna literally 'Great Vehicle' – of what became love and light, eventually.
I did some pretty strange things in BYO i can tell yer. Crazee shit like levitation, after attaining the second of the eight main siddhis, or supernatural powers: Laghima (lightness), things changed forever, because no longer could no longer give an etic account of the God who claims this being – to know that god as a liddle ole fairy tinker dude – because emic it went kiddas; right out the bowl yeah and flew rogate to the court of Saint BO the cow-flower goddess of ancient Mahima (greatness); third of the siddhis that connects us to some pole of knowing held aloft and leading through attainments, to Prakamya, the fifth siddhis which is one's indomitable willpower.
The fourth 'attaintments' is Prapti, which I have tattoed in invisible ink all over my body and soul babes, bodying bold y'all 'n – you know how it is – American babe in arms.
After a few years of study and training and coming along a very well-like course, some knowing from the ineffable suchness and thusness of Tathata (Sanskrit तथाता tathātā; Chinese language 眞如 ) arose from within one's consciousness.
It was after a Flower Ceremony I remember, at the cemetry where ole shades wear the air invisible, crickets birup and ravens craw with rook – a helluva time – and owls in nocturnal avian flight whoosh silent and, lo and behold; it was all 4×4: all lubberly juvverly mockney geezer, we's all near a bowl of perennial flowers, pretty crocuses pinned on our L able bones that known Isita (superiority), Vasita (self-control) and Kamavasayita (control of passion) – flew threw as light to here from beyond our ken American poets.
Now, I 'm a pretty simple living dickead without much brains, unlike Socrates, a stupid Man who'll fork off the road more traversed in search of what happens, happening and that, lovely looking music which come o'er thine ear as Apollo's golden horn. His ilk I can live with in the zone A; an ilk I wanna let it be known to.

Love Poems
..if it ever appears in front of your ears dearest American Reader: English is us, let's throw a ball and know
Poetry Assassin: coming soon, from a famous replacement, island winding dreams are t/here, America my love.
We rest.–A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise.–One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond foe, or cast our cares away:
It is the same!–For, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free:
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.
I love the concept of your tattoo. Whenever I think of getting one, my mind always goes to words, not pictures–like maybe getting a tattoo of the word "tattoo".

Bischoff Hervey Entertainment Television has acquired a 50% equity stake in games developer MX Digital. BHE TV has produced reality programming for Discovery Channel, CMT, NBC, VH1, truTV, Spike TV and the CW and recently moved into the scripted comedy genre with See Dad Run, airing on Nick At Nite. BHE TV and MX Digital are repped by CAA.

Congrats-smart move!
Generic games have blown up big overseas, be intresting to see what "proven brands" they follow up with, but clearly MX makes money with dist. In over 20 countries. Not sure what other prod co's are making moves like this but BHE would be a tasty acq target as they haven't "sold out" yet to some foreign co buying up smart indys. Either way, very intresting move for BHE and good for CAA
SMART AS SHIT, for a wrestling guy a child star they have built a real company, I like them because they hire producers for their shows from my agency, so biased yes, but this is very smart and hervey is fun to deal with, especially if your on his good side, when will their be a chachi game ha!!

Orion Health is bidding for a massive Saudi Arabian technology contract that could turn the Middle East into one of the New Zealand software developer's biggest markets alongside Britain and North America.
The Auckland-based company, which builds cloud-based systems that allow doctors to store and look up patient records online, is in the running to build a national health information exchange for the Gulf kingdom.
The technology allows patient information to be easily shared among multiple healthcare facilities.
Orion has already installed similar systems in the United States, Australia, Singapore and Northern Ireland.
Ali Zarzour, the company's general manager for the Middle East and Africa, said the Saudi project would be worth US$30 million to US$40 million and would service close to 30 million healthcare users. To put that in perspective, Orion announced last year that its total revenue had surpassed $100 million.
"A major deal like this one will directly move [the Middle East] from being an emerging market for Orion to a top market," Zarzour said.
The tender for the project is not expected to close for at least six months. Zarzour said he did not want to sound "over-optimistic" about Orion's chances for success. "I think we're in the top three," he said.
He was unsure how many firms were bidding for the project, but said Massachusetts-based InterSystems - a major competitor - was involved.
Orion's global experience with health information exchanges, as well as its track record in the Middle East, should work in the firm's favour, Zarzour added. The company has around 30 clients in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

The NSA's gobbling up millions upon millions of emails and communications every single day. It's hoovering up cellphone metadata faster than you can say "sorry, wrong number". It's building a quantum code-cracker. Hell, it's even using radio waves to hack into offline PCs.
But apparently even that isn't enough to satisfy it's insatiable hunger for intercepted communications – our communications – which is why it's randomly scooping up something in excess of 200 million text messages a day, according to new documents leaked by The Guardian.
The newspaper reports that the NSA has established to separate projects to gobble up and analyze our SMS messages, called "Prefer" and "Dishfire". Further, the documents indicate that these projects are of vital importance to the NSA, with one slide dated from 2011 being titled: "SMS Text Messages: A Goldmine to Exploit". That's all the more surprising, since the SMS sweeps are apparently "untargeted", which means that the spooks are basically just gobbling up whatever the hell they can get their hands on. But at least in the case of SMS's originating from the US, the associated phone numbers are apparently "minimized" or "removed" to protect user anonymity.
We can presume that the NSA is trying to maintain a semblance of legality with this particular project, that doesn't appear to be the case in the UK. The documents show that the NSA allows the UK's GCHQ full access to the rest of the database, which means that it's free to spy on messages from UK citizens. Apparently, GCHQ's staff are told not to view any content involving UK messages, but the documents don't say if that measure is enforced.
The Guardian reports that analysis of the content of text messages, which falls under the "Dishfire" project is extremely valuable to the NSA:
"The NSA has made extensive use of its vast text message database to extract information on people's travel plans, contact books, financial transactions and more – including of individuals under no suspicion of illegal activity."
As well as "Dishfire", a second program called "Prefer" is used to scan the entire database to locate gems of information that "are not in current metadata stores and would enhance current analytics."
And what kind of data can the NSA access from scanning SMS messages? This is surprising too – each day, it gains details of more than 800,000 financial transactions, as well as people's travel information, gleaned from texts about their itineraries, cancellations and delays. So if you're thinking how nice it was for the airline to warn you that your flight was delayed – well, so does the NSA ;)
The only thing that isn't clear right now is exactly how the NSA is tapping into this data. The Guardian contacted Vodafone, but the company insisted that it doesn't give up such data to anyone, but that doesn't mean it's not lying, or that the NSA hasn't inserted some kind of 'back door' into its servers.
Interestingly, the NSA has responded to these latest revelations, repeating its usual claim that its activities are only focused on "valid foreign intelligence targets in response to intelligence requirements". Like we're supposed to believe that "valid targets" typically send in the region of 200 million SMS's each day…

Collaboration of the Navy with the Army
The following is a translation from a recent work published in Italy by Admiral Giamberardino. The complete translation is now being made for early publication in book form in this country. The chapter herein submitted is filled with matter of peculiar interest to the Marine Corps. The complete work is replete with interesting and valuable lessons and is commended to all serious students of the art of war. Its title is: "The Art of Sea Warfare," but its range goes beyond its implied limits and reaches into the very vitals of command, leadership and organization.

Dear Ballard Designs,
I just wanted y'all to see what I did with my guest / game room thanks to y'all. I recovered my grandparents 1960 club chair with the Athena Mineral fabric and had accent pillows to match the upholstered bed in Mandarin for the Isabella Day Bed. I love love love this room now and I am not a decorator. The pictures are the creations of my children framed ( it is their game room unless we have a guest). I thought you would enjoy seeing what people do with their purchases.

Natalie Portman Talks Inspiration Behind Slapping Chris Hemsworth for "Thor" on "GMA"
Tending to promotional duties for her upcoming flick "Thor: The Dark World," Natalie Portman stopped by ABC Studios in New York City on Thursday (November 7).
While chatting with the "Good Morning America" hosts, the 32-year-old actress revealed what it's truly like to slap Chris Hemsworth.
"I think I was feeling the anger of all my sisters, my girlfriends, and I who have had those guys who don't call back or disappear, or break your heart," Miss Portman explained. "[Chris] was a good sport about it. He let me whack him a few times."
"We have such a good time making the movies, and I feel like you can really see that in the movie itself cause it's just really funny," she added.
Also discussing her chance to work with Anthony Hopkins, Natalie stated, "I really felt like I missed out the last time because I was able to say I got to make a movie with Anthony Hopkins on 'Thor' 1, but we didn't have any scenes together."
She continued, "So this time, my character goes to Asgard and I get to have a few scenes with Anthony Hopkins and Rene Russo and Tom Hiddleston, all the characters I missed the last time."
Check out the clip of Miss Portman's interview below, and check out "Thor: The Dark World" in theaters on Friday (November 8th)!

Yesterday morning, a text message from an elderly relative of mine nearing his 70s, who lives in Malaysia:
"Are bonds a good investment right now?"
Assuming this is one of his regular investment-grade bond purchases (he abhors current FD rates in Malaysia – tho US and therefore HK rates are worse, but anyway), I text back, "They've been having a good run here in HK, in the weeks after CNY" (dinner last week with former colleague who is now on a bonds desk) and turn back to Rockstar and his Lego. Except right after dropping Rockstar off in school, a rather proud Yay, I've Locked In message buzzes in.
"Selection of 6 out of (list of credits)."
"3% fee applicable (despite) early withdrawal."
"5% penalty for early withdrawal."
What the hell?
Some further proud details about how the first tranche of RM 100 mio was oversubscribed and now he's joining a second tranche…..
I don't believe it. I don't bloody believe it.
"That sounds like a structured note. Was that the 'bond' you were asking me about this morning?" Still not believing it, I text Kings. Within a minute he confirms, "Sounds like a CLN" (Credit Linked Note.)
"Selection of 6…" That isn't just a bloody CLN, it's a basket, probably a First (though possibly a Second) To Default CLN. That means you sell protection (like "insurance") for an enhanced yield on a bunch of credits, and if one goes belly up in the course of the note life, you're delivered the defaulted bond.
I'm already waiting for Elderly Relative to pick up his cellphone.
An old structurer mentor of mine, way back when I first started out, used to drum into me, "Never tell me what your Salesperson says the client is calling it. Tell me what it does. They can call it anything."
This is true. Early on in our careers, Kings put together forex + interest rate hybrid notes and called them – wait for it – The Power Note.
"As in Power Rangers?" Nope, I never really let him forget it. Can't believe I finally got a chance to blog it 😀 I vaguely remember also a Turbo Note. (My hub is going to scream when he reads this, it joins the ranks of that Pigs Can Fly book he bought to have something to talk about with me when he heard I "like books".) He thought "Power" and "Turbo" were good words to imply enhanced return (with corresponding risk, of course – you have to have all the safety gear before you can drive the fast cars, don't you?) Back then we dealt with financial institutions, and counterparts might snort derisively. Or even banter in strangely-spelled Hokkien over the email at his um, creativity.
(But… I find it endearing, darling! <grin>). Ironically this thinking still invades the way we talk with Rockstar: Don't like something, come up with something better. And if you're the first to discover something, you might even get to name it and make everyone use your dorky name for it.
Yes, dear (other) readers, I know. I have a strange taste for geek bravado. <tragic hand-wringing> What shall become of our children? This is why I provide Kings with name suggestions. My hub shall not come up from scratch with what to name our kids. I would still like to see them sometime when they've grow up one day.
"DID THEY TELL YOU THAT IS A BOND??? It's a Structured Note."
"Um… Well she did say Structured Bond, but she also said it was very safe. Like the (other bonds he usually buys). <pause> FD rates are just terrible."
I don't even know what I should be saying first. Do I condescend by repeating No-Enhanced-Return-Without-Risk-And-You-Have-To-Check-What-The-Catch-Is, or do I proceed with how the "coupon" he's mentioned is wildly not commensurate to the investment risk he's about to expose himself to, or do I go on about the rather long (for that product in this environment) tenor, number of credits in the basket and……. Hang on. What were those worst-rated credits in the bunch of names he texted me again? That name is in there?
"Is that a first-to-default, are you taking the first hit out of that basket of 6 (to-be-selected-by-the-bank)?"
"First-to….. Yes. I lose the money if one issuer defaults." Ok, he's aware of that…
"But she said it was very safe, and it's only for 3 years. Some of my bonds….." Crap.
"IT'S NOT A BOND!! You can buy/sell liquid bonds way before they're due to mature. AND you don't have all the high early termination fees and things for – Ok. Ignore the "safe" names, all those names you like. Look at that worst name in the basket, because that is all that is going to matter (simplistically, to him I mean) if that's a first-to-default. Well, that and the issuer."
I'm fairly sure I know the answer. But, cautiously, "Did…. they….. mention to you….. what constitutes a default?"
This is the problem with Credit-Linked products being sold to individuals. This was why I left off doing these in my last few places (bearing in mind by then I was doing products for the bankers who sell to high net worth individuals, not institutions), and rarely put them together unless a client specifically requested one (in which case they already knew what it was – anyway we didn't handle laymen, only "sophisticated investors," as classified by HK regulators as such.) It's because "default" can be defined in the legal documentation of the derivatives used to put together the product as say, a lack of ability to meet certain obligations in a year, a restructuring and so on… It is not necessarily your regular man-on-the-street's understanding of a default. It's based on the legal. And it has occasionally been triggered by world/ trading events without the name actually "defaulting" in the way most laymen might assume.
I don't find that easy to explain to your average (especially very elderly) investor and it's a red flag if they can't really get it out of their head it's not a straight bond to begin with. Because what happens next can possibly be very un-bond-like. You usually need some training classes – for the bankers selling them as well as the clients, if you want to do a widespread exercise like this.
(Anyway I used to tell RMs if I couldn't get them to understand it in 5 minutes they shouldn't sell it, I have to go get something else. No this does not make me a good person. This just makes me a practical person. Because the resulting hairy fallout is just not worth what we might make on the trade, there were so many other things we could sell without taking this on.)
Technically that isn't always bad either, because based on the CDS (Credit Default Swaps) used to create the CLN and lack of regulation (in those days – yes the very same that is having US regulators jump up and down now), it was possible that so much CDS was written on certain names (i.e. so many investors sold protection) that there weren't enough defaulted bonds in the market to deliver to sellers of protection, thereby resulting in the price of the defaulted bond trading higher than the original bond traded pre-default.
Yeah every time I blather on about these things here my readership tanks so I'm gonna stop. For one thing, Kings stops reading. Ambushing him with work-related stuff when he expected cute pictures of Rockstar forever annoys him. So anything, email me – I wanted the mental stimulation during the pregnancy anyways.
"You WHAT???"
"I didn't buy that much. <pause> Well, not really. She said it was a very safe product."
"It is NOT a bond. And it is NOT a "very safe product". If you aren't careful, it is relatively similar to what killed many investors in Singapore and HK, not to mention bankers, because of the resulting fallout due to mis-selling allegations – and it seems because Malaysia hasn't been hit by widespread Lehman Minibond phenomena now you're starting on this thing."
"But to get out now I'd have to pay all the penalty fees. Think I'll lose more than the penalty?"
"That last name in your basket – you can't simply hope the bank doesn't pick that in the final 6. That is where all the meat would come from."
I remember the few individuals we tailor-made these for – they were extremely savvy about picking credits that had very little "meat" in them, i.e. very little room to maneuver if the price ran, very little room for mistake – and yes, very little room for us to make anything out of it. (We had to do repeat business – yet another good motivation, if you needed one, not to skin someone). In the end it was very hard to execute the product and I happily did something else, because quoting close to flat also means the trade can quickly become un-profitable. I would tell the banker the client had to be prepared we couldn't do the trade if the price ran – and that was an indication of how close to the bone we cut it for them, i.e. that we weren't skinning them. No one ever yelled about it, that was fair. Civilized.
I want to yell at this banker. The one who has sold my nearing-70 year old relative in Malaysia a First To Default Credit Linked Note he thinks is "a bond," with more meat in it than you can find at KFC. Not so much for being cutthroat, more likely for being stupid.
"Let me call you back in 10 minutes. I want to try and see if she'll let me get out of it before the bank closes."
"You can't have signed it more than an hour or two ago. If you're joining a big book-building tranche that hasn't closed she can't have executed it yet. You thought it was a bond. If she doesn't let you out of the trade, mention reporting the mis-sell. Though worse case be prepared to pay the early-withdrawal penalty to get out." Though that would've been pretty nasty on the banker's part – I don't even remember having to inflict that on any of my banker's clients in much faster-moving HK, even if I had already squared it with my counterpart, they would probably still let me go, annul the trade. Also, I'm not sure they can inflict the penalty on him easily, so early in the day. It's whether they let him off or hold him to it.
In less than 10 minutes, my iPhone buzzes. "She let me off. WHEW."
I haven't heard anything more from my relative (despite various messages on my part explaining why it's too "meaty" a trade – correlation, names, tenor etc). It's been maybe 15 hours. Must have been way more excitement than he'd expected for the day…

Subpanel how to ?
Well i just finished my basement for an in-law apartment
i would like to add a subpanel so everything in the apartment is in its own panel. i have 100amp service and would like to feed a 100amp subpanel
is this possible? and if so how? or does the sub have to be lower amp (ex: 40a, 60a)?
You may ask why i think i need a 100A sub, my concern is that this apartment has a washer, dryer, range and double oven, as does my own living space.
:) What if we all decide to cook and do laundry at the same time?
Until someone comes along to answer your question here is a site I pulled of Contractor Talk That will help you determine your load. Some of the appliances, lights, get to be downrated because the NEC figures not everything will be used at once. I just sized a small duplex with a 100 amp service and came up with 108 amps after downrating. If I switch the dryer to gas I'll probably be ok. Here is the site.
I don't know of any inherent safety issues with having a subpanel the same size as your main panel - I'll let the guys who know the electrical codes answer that one. However, if you really think that both living spaces NEED 100A, then you really should do a load analysis of your house to see if you need to upgrade the service. It will be a major inconvenience if you keep blowing the main breaker just because you both decided to cook and do laundry at the same time.
Whatever you do, you should probably get a "Main Service Rated panel" which basically means that the panel has it's own breaker - its not required, because you already have a braker in YOUR main panel, but it will add to the convenience.
It also depends on what you are planning to do with the space. If you are planning to rent the place out I would seriously consider having an additional Main Service installed with a seperate Meter. If it is truly for "in-laws" or other guests, maybe this isn't necessary.
You really need to have a load calculation done. What are you using to heat with and how are you heating your water? you can run a 100 amp sub from a 100 amp feed, but you will only have the protection of the 100 amp feed. Witout a load cal. you may be close to overloading your service. I sugesst you contact a licensed electrician for options.
Thanks for the info guys.
Heat and hot water run on oil.
i was planning on upgrading the service to 200Amps in the spring anyway when i build a work shop in the back yard 20'X24'.
But we just bought the house 4 months ago and since we just renovated the lower and up levels you can imagine how tight the money has gotten.
A service upgrade at this point just isn't within the budget
Whats the simplest way to do a load analysis?
Were you able to find the site i posted. I was able to do a load calc so it must be pretty simple.

"I implore you. I implore all women everywhere on behalf of all men. Do not take the wrongness of masturbation from us!"Most people masturbate, although it's not something you'd bring up in polite conversation. However, it's given quite a different treatment in fiction. Unlike Nobody Poops or No Periods, Period (where the function is simply not mentioned because it would be Nausea Fuel), masturbation in fiction often fits into a few different categories:
— Steve, Coupling
- It's aimed at or about teenagers (usually Played for Laughs) and the character is usually a horny teenage boy, and another character, usually the parents, think that he's masturbating when he is very obviously (or sometimes not so obviously) not.
- The character masturbating is sexually frustrated, disturbed, perverted, or is a nerd/has no social life. When Sex Is Cool and Everybody Has Lots of Sex, masturbating is portrayed as a shameful last resort for losers who can't get laid. Except for those depicting as doing it as one part of a sexual encounter itself, of course.
- It's a military or a prison setting (or a single-sex boarding school). The masturbation here would be explained by the shortage of women (or men), boredom and loneliness.
- Artificial insemination due to lack of partners, incompatible sexual orientation, etc.
- In porn or erotica, it can be used for the sexual titillation of the viewers.
List of masturbation tropes:
- Breaking In Old Habits - A character receives a replacement hand and immediately uses it to masturbate.
- Caught with Your Pants Down - A character is caught masturbating.
- I'll Be in My Bunk - A character who steps off-stage is humorously portrayed as leaving to masturbate.
- Jizzed in My Pants - Yeah, self explanatory.
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman - After a man transforms into a woman, the first thing he does is test his new "equipment".
- Mistaken for Masturbating - Characters think someone is masturbating when they actually aren't.
- Poor Man's Porn - A character gets off to something not strictly intended to be used for that purpose.
- Porn Stash - A character has a personal collection of pornography, and can usually be assumed to use it as an aid to masturbation.
- Self-Abuse - Masturbation is portrayed as bad for you.
(Opening door) Oops! Sorry! When you said you were going on the computer for a while, I just assumed you'd be on TV Tropes!

Cruz-Solis presser!
IBF featherweight champion Cristobal Cruz (38-11-1, 23 KOs) is training for his much anticipated rematch against Jorge Solis (37-1-2, 27 KOs) on June 27th at the 5,500-seat El Palenque in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico."It will be a hard fight and it has cost me much sacrifice," said Cruz at the kick-off press conference. "Solis defeated me once by unanimous decision, but I am a world champion now and much stronger than before. In addition, I will be in my house." Solis responded, "It will be a hard fight, but I am going to repeat what I did to Cruz in our last fight. I will prepare myself very well to go to win at the champion's hometown." The undercard will include welterweight Gabriel Martinez, (21-1-1, 13KOs) vs Michel Rosales, (19-3, 17KOs) and Arturo Santos Reyes, the 2008 Mexican Olympic team representative.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery.

|Reviews for Flammie Tales Bk1: A Wizard's Trials
| SongoftheWolf chapter 7 . 1/23/2011
Too lazy to log in... aaaanywho, interesting chapter! You did manage to drag it out without it becoming boring. Nice touch with the grave. I found that particular bit quite interesting. I can't remember if I guessed who the entity was or not! This is bugging me!
| mysteriousQuack chapter 1 . 1/14/2011
Haha cool beanzz! It's very captivating and I wanna read the other chapters BUT I be tired and it's midnight...xD
The only thing I noticed that may be of significance is towards the end where the tenses are a bit jumbled like you use some present tense (I'm) and past tense. (I was)
But otherwise it's good: very detailed and ambient.
| TomX chapter 6 . 9/22/2010
Hey, not bad. BTW can ANYONE read my story. I just uploaded my very first one. Just one little review. Please and thanks for some support.
| P3MF Alpha 3-Richter chapter 6 . 9/21/2010
This is a cute story! Not to many stories in this catagory that focus (or at least partially) on flammie! BTW...Do you have any of the games with flammie in them?
| SongoftheWolf chapter 6 . 7/29/2010
yay! I finally got around to reading it! Great chapter by the way. I still think Rye is evil... but is evil for everyone's greater good? Does that even make sense? Like, if he goes bad, he might have a chance of helping Seryn because he believes that the dark side will win, and he's going to try and corrupt Seryn and Skyler so that they survive.
Just thinkin' out loud!
I really miss our random conversations by the way. I don't see very many people from school during the sumer. How's the job and everything? Umm, we can sort of "chat" on here if you click the little conversation box on the reviews page. Got to go . Talk to you later!
| SongoftheWolf chapter 5 . 10/18/2009
omg he's eating him? wow, thats a little...no, a lot weird. the whole plushtopia thing is a little strange but interesting. cant wait for ch. 2! your apache w/ a hat buddy.
| GeneralHaldak chapter 5 . 10/17/2009
The cliffhanger would be very good if it wasn't for the fact that I already knew what was going on. Also, the recaps seem kind of out of place and unnecessary. They're kind of awkward, if you can understand what I'm saying. Also, you would use the word chagrin, Ultrazeldafan.
| GeneralHaldak chapter 4 . 10/6/2009
Agreeably a better cliffhanger than last time. I at least started wondering about what happened to plush Seryn. Also, in my understanding of the Plushtopia Chronicles, Plush Seryn wasn't an actual incarnation of Seryn, and also, I believe Shadowlugia said it was noncanon. Nothing to say otherwise.
| SongoftheWolf chapter 4 . 10/5/2009
yeah, awesome chapter! it went REALLY fast though. like, you go from finding out he's related to this extremely powerful wizart to just okay, i'm your kin, so now what? it just went a little fast. good chapter tho!
| GeneralHaldak chapter 2 . 10/3/2009
Okay, I looked back at my review and I guess it was a little harsh. Irritation wasn't what I meant. I guess I was trying to say that it just wasn't all that suspenseful.
| GeneralHaldak chapter 3 . 10/3/2009
It's not so much a cliffhanger as it is an irritation. That was the problem with the previous one. You didn't finish a sentence, but the sentence you didn't finish never had me on the edge of my seat in the first place. I apologize if this comes off as a bit harsh, but criticism may or may not be what I'm here for. Anyway...
It's well written, but I'm hoping you get a little bit more independent from shadowlugia's work as time goes on. You have the ability to come up with your own story, but I'm afraid this will all end with another confrontation with Mana, and that would ultimately end up being a shadowlugia story clone.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, so I apologize if I come across that way.
| SongoftheWolf chapter 3 . 10/3/2009
meh. good cliffy. sorry im not more enthusiastic, im just really tired. i cant wait for the next chapter though! bye!
| SongoftheWolf chapter 2 . 9/24/2009
i hate you. **shun** just kidding! stupid cliffhanger. r u sure only on saturdays? and the book is so sarcastic its funny! and seryn is really cool. got to go my flammie obsessed friend. bye!
| SongoftheWolf chapter 1 . 9/23/2009
and u r only updating on weekends? **shun** that went a little fast near the end, but i love the part where the flammie (seryn?) is floating in the void. there's something poetic about that. and i just love the name seryn! its so..interesting.

Not sure where this is suppose to go, so, I stuck it here. I was out and about and thought I'd stop by the toy store and take a look around for anything Boba, or Jango related as I sometimes do. Well, I found a hand full of these...Little MR Mini EE-3 Blasters. I couldn't help myself, so I decided to go ahead and grab one. Their a few left but I was told that they no longer make then/ have them at the MR "plant." Its really cool though...expensive, but cool.

/*value one for the first department in each firm*/
/*value two for the second department in each firm*/
bys firm: gen deptnum = _n
/*store maximum number of department in local `Ndepts'*/
sum deptnum, meanonly
local Ndepts = r(max)
/*products of the first department are in variable products1*/
/*products of the second department are in variable products2*/
reshape wide product dept, i(firm) j(deptnum)
/*loop over departments*/
gen prods = product1
forvalues i = 2/`Ndepts' {
replace prods = prods + ", " + product`i'
/*bring the data back into original long format*/
