18. Rosa's Lover
Rosa had scarcely pronounced these consolatory words when a voice was heard from
the staircase asking Gryphus how matters were going on.
"Do you hear, father?" said Rosa.
"Master Jacob calls you, he is uneasy."
"There was such a noise," said Gryphus; "wouldn't you have thought he would murder
me, this doctor? They are always very troublesome fellows, these scholars."
Then, pointing with his finger towards the staircase, he said to Rosa: "Just lead the way,
After this he locked the door and called out: "I shall be with you directly, friend Jacob."
Poor Cornelius, thus left alone with his bitter grief, muttered to himself, --
"Ah, you old hangman! it is me you have trodden under foot; you have murdered me; I
shall not survive it."
And certainly the unfortunate prisoner would have fallen ill but for the counterpoise
which Providence had granted to his grief, and which was called Rosa.
In the evening she came back. Her first words announced to Cornelius that henceforth
her father would make no objection to his cultivating flowers.
"And how do you know that?" the prisoner asked, with a doleful look.
"I know it because he has said so."
"To deceive me, perhaps."
"No, he repents."
"Ah yes! but too late."
"This repentance is not of himself."
"And who put it into him?"
"If you only knew how his friend scolded him!"

A grand jury issued an indictment against Jeffrey Weinhaus last Tuesday, stemming from a Sept. 11 incident where he was shot by Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers outside the MFA gas station in St. Clair.
Weinhaus faces eight charges, which includes the original charges for possession of a controlled substance, tampering with a judicial officer and misdemeanor marijuana possession.
There are five additional felony charges, including two counts of attempted assault on a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action and one count resisting arrest.
Weinhaus, a candidate for Crawford County Coroner in November, has been at Franklin County Jail since being arrested on Nov. 1.
Presiding Circuit Judge Gael Wood signed the indictment and now Weinhaus is being held on a $250,000 cash-only bond after previously being held on $50,000 cash-only.
Weinhaus was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for arraignment.
Authorities determined that a video blog he shot under his "Bulletinman" moniker on YouTube back in August were threats against law enforcement and elected officials in Crawford County where Weinhaus was active as a provocateur. He also targeted the city of Bourbon, mainly Mayor Leonard Armstrong.
Weinhaus often accused officials in the city of engaging in corrupt activities.
On Aug. 22, troopers served Weinhaus a search warrant and collected his computers. He was able to return to the Internet on different equipment, but on Sept. 9 he threatened to "occupy the courthouse" on an undetermined date.
On Sept. 11, Weinhaus went to meet troopers in St. Clair. He believed that they were returning his equipment to them. Troopers say they told Weinhaus he was under arrest. A holstered gun was spotted on his person.
When troopers ordered Weinhaus to move his hands away from the gun, he allegedly unstrapped the holster and began to draw the weapon. He was fired on several times out of fear for their safety.
Weinhaus denies that he made any direct threats and that he did not attempt to draw his gun.

text: This webinar focuses on what is new in FLOW-3D Cast Version 4.0, Flow Science's latest release for metal casting applications. With an improved graphical user interface, a new post-processing tool and a number of additions to the solver, this version streamlines the user's workflow and increases simulation efficiency. Some highlights of the GUI are the implementation of the simulation manager which makes organizing simulations much easier, can be customized and lets users modify parameters on the fly. The overall model setup has been arranged to be more intuitive and improve efficiency. A number of meshing improvements, including the addition of solution sub-domains and partially overlapping mesh blocks, allow much more complex meshing arrangements with little extra effort. With respect to the solver, some things we have added include a core gas model (parallelized), a new tab specifically for modifying cooling channel parameters, and fluid-structure interaction and thermal stress evolution models. In this webinar we will briefly discuss all of the new additions to this version and where applicable, demonstrate how to use them.VIEW THIS WEBINAR

How To Get American Netflix In The UK
I've done this on my ps3 but ment to work on Xbox as well
All you need to do is set up a new Internet connection
Need to set up as custom, set everything up as normal... When you come to DNS settings you need to change them to
Primary - 220.127.116.11
Secondary - 22.214.171.124
If that one doesn't work try
Primary - 22.214.171.124
Secondary - 18.104.22.168
Then continue with normal setup
Test connection then restart your system
Then open up Netflix and it should come up as the american Netflix
It's far better, I'm running uk on Xbox and us on ps3

Ok... I want to get this shirt, but is it the real Declaration on it, or a modified version as the write up might make one think?
Too bad they are on the Anvil shirts. Those are terrible. I would have bought one (even if it was a bit more) if it was printed on the American Apparel blended shirts instead.

The third picture's view (upper left section) of the fifth line is legibly the original text. You could actually read the whole thing to check from the various views, though.
Wow, woot!, you guys somehow manage to just miss with me so often these days...
First it was getting rid of AA, then it was the cart bullisht, all while adding sub-woot!'s at a rate that will soon require that you add a second tier of tabs.
I actually was hopeful for a bit, you added the option to print on AA for additional cost just like we all have been asking since you killed it off. "Great!", I thought, "Now I can buy some more woot! shirts! All I have to do is wait for a design I actually like!"
Well, here we are. You've put up something that I want for the first time in months, but I come by only to notice that the 'limited time' AA option's time was a little too limited.
Guess I'll just go back to adding the things I would like to buy to the cart, only to talk myself out of it after seeing my total and letting them expire in front of my eyes...
Good thing it is in print since cursive isn't being taught in the schools anymore.

Would it be SO bad to actually print the American Flag on an American-made shirt?
Incidentally, according to the US Flag Code, The American Flag should never be worn as, or adorn an article of clothing, unless as a patch, properly placed on a uniform.
I would agree, but I there are just some times I think otherwise!
Really Woot? American Apparel is MADE IN THE USA.... I was about to buy this until I noticed its only being offered on the Anvil Tee. I don't feel quite right about buying a shirt with an American flag on it that's made in Nicuragua and/or Honduras.

Add me to the list of people who were ready to buy until I saw that AA shirts were not available.
woot, you've really gone down hill since you were gobbled up by the corporate machine. I can remember when it took 900 to 1200 votes to win a derby. Now it only takes about a fourth of that. Guess the other 3/4 just aren't that interested anymore.

Thanks. I'm at work so I didn't really have the time to sit and piece together the pictures. I was hoping for a confirmation before dropping $40 to be disappointed. It's already risky as the last set of shirts shrunk. My wife had to give hers to our daughter (10 year old).

Not cheesy, seriously cool!
If this were printed on an AA shirt with the actual unmodified Declaration of Independence then I could buy it and be proud to wear it. I don't believe in changing the words of our founding fathers. Not in the Declaration or our Constitution!

Looking closely it actually is the original wording of the DOI, not the "modified" wording. Though the text is so small I can't imagine anyone will be able to read it without sticking their face in someone's chest.
Which may or may not be an intended effect.
Alright, to be perfectly fair, there is a certain apropos nature to printing these on Anvil (aka Foreign sourced) materials:
The low-skill, low-wage labor is being done in Nicaragua where the lower wages will comparatively make a larger impact through greater relative spending power.
The higher-skill, higher-wage labor is happening in Carrollton, TX, allowing the higher wages to comparatively make a less small impact through relative less small spending power. (yeah, I said less small, screen printing probably doesn't pay that well on the American income scale)
Annnnd all of this is being used to make a patriotic statement, a legitimately patriotic statement, no matter how deep you want to chase the metaphor down the rabbit hole.
And, honestly, it's a goddamn tshirt, so following it down the metaphorical metaphorical rabbit hole is probably a bit of a stretch. You don't push me and I don't push you, kk?
In summation: armchair economists...ACTIVATE!

Please process your VA paperwork and take advantage of the services that Veteran Affairs offers *all* newly discharged service members (medical examination within first year of discharge means any problems found will be 'fixed' at no cost to vet.)
**Make sure you grab at least one copy of your personnel and medical records.**
I have met far too many veterans that waited to file claims until after an issue had presented(not just cancerous Agent Orange exposure, but smoke from burn pits, hearing loss from not just explosions and rifle fire, but exposure to constant fan or generator noise (my husband had significant hearing loss at the ripe old age of 26) increased hypertension, arthritis, stress overload, etc)-- sometimes several years down the road.
It's so much more difficult to get their claims accepted. (But can still be done!)
The amount of Gulf War veterans filing claims for minor service connected things that have worsened over the years is increasing.
--But it isn't just about medical.
College benefits that can sometimes pass on to your kids, small business loans, veteran-specific job training programs.
You can file initial documents online at wwws.va.gov
If the process looks overwhelming seek out a local Disabled American Veterans office (also online,) you don't need to be disabled for them to help you with paperwork, power of attorney, appeals or even transportation to medical appointments - those are all free services to veterans. (And if you're looking for a worthy charity...)
Apologies, but not really for the tl;dr but this is important information.
Have a fine civilian day!

It's always bizarre to me to see someone insist I tolerate their intolerance. In any case, a Klansman has a right to his racism, sure. I don't have to approve of it or sit silent for it, though. The same applies to your hypothetical protest against homosexuals. I'm not suggesting the state should arrest you for it; I'm calling you out for your absurd claim. I'm not even saying you shouldn't be allowed to burn a rainbow flag; I'm just saying it would imply you were bad person.

I love this design. I don't find it the least bit disrespectful - quite the opposite in fact. Again, it's not an actual flag, it's a depiction of a flag.
That said... If only we had the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of American Apparel shirts that don't shrink to unwearable lengths. I'd be in for one on AA, but no more Anvil blanks for me.
You mean like how the ACLU has sued to protect the rights of the Klan?
Who, exactly, has ever said the Klan doesn't have the right to be a bunch of racist Hello. Hellooo. Hellooooo.s? They have the right to think and say and write whatever they want, just like anyone else. What they don't have (and what no one has) is the right to avoid criticism for their stupid beliefs. They also don't have a right to an audience or to be provided a platform on which to speak.
The rights of an individual to their own beliefs are guaranteed to ALL, not just to agendists intent on indoctrination.
Again, who are you talking to? Who disputes this?
I challenge you to to hug a Tea Party representative today and prove that you can actually back up the propaganda that you expound. You are ignorant of both the meaning and application of the words diversity and inclusion.
Ahh yes, the old "you have to tolerate my intolerance otherwise you're not really tolerant nanny nanny boo boo!"
Again, you have the right to say and think and write whatever you want. You want to burn the Pride Flag? Buy one and go for it (consistent with local fire codes, of course). Just don't expect anyone to care when you cry about getting negative feedback.
Pulled the trigger without even thinking about it. It will be perfect to wear next year in Brazil when I go to the World Cup!
I was thinking "Finally, another shirt I am willing to buy since they now offer on American Apparel again." When I checked for the American Apparel option, not there. I am very disappointed.
The only Anvil shirt I bought for myself was http://shirt.woot.com/offers/americana-6. The shirt's comfort is much worse than that of the AA shirts. My very first AA shirt from 2007, through my brother's account, is http://shirt.woot.com/offers/reality-isnt-for-everyone. This AA shirt has been worn and gone through the wash numerous times and feels much better than the Anvil shirt. The fit on the Anvil shirt is also too short and became deformed after just the first wash.
Back to just "window shopping" the woot shirts instead of buying.
Sooooooooooooo, let's get back on topic.
Say, how about this shirt!!??!!
joshshaman wrote:Yea, the flag looks cool. It's just not right that flags and things depicting the flag aren't made in America - Woot used to buy American-made shirts...that's why I rarely ever buy their shirts now.
To be completely accurate, the imprint of the flag on this shirt is made in America.
It's just the crummy support structure that is not.
It's 11:02am (woot-standard-time), do you know where your flag pole was made?
ThunderThighs wrote:Sooooooooooooo, let's get back on topic.
Say, how about this shirt!!??!!
OK - I'm sure most people here have walked back to their car after a community 4th celebration, dodging (hoping so) the plethora of small US flags on a stick scattered on the ground.
I often begin picking them up, but then begin wondering what I am going to do with 137 of these things.
Now the T-shirt: What if we all wore the T-shirt while boycotting the off-shore manufactured stick flags?
I bet I wouldn't find any of the T-shirts littering the ground. ;>)
At first I was going to make a comment about buying a shirt "Manufactured In: Honduras/Nicaragua" to show one's pride for our country.
However, the new reality right now is that it's possible, if not likely, that the people and governments of Honduras and Nicaragua value the civil liberties guaranteed in our Declaration of Independence more than the current administration in Washington and the segment of our citizenry that seems to relish being blissfully ignorant and sitting on the sidelines.
P.S. -- awesome shirt -- great job!
P.P.S. -- for the record, I would have bought two of these shirts - one for my dad and one for myself - if AA shirts were available; however, there's no way I'll give my dad an American flag shirt made in Honduras/Nicaragua as he'd never wear it. I'm not buying one for myself because the quality sucks - I can live with the outsourcing.
P.P.P.S. -- what's with the made in Honduras AND Nicaragua -- is there a Honduran-Nicaraguan border town with a fabric mill on one side and sewing machines on the other??
circusninja wrote:But this is not a flag. This is a printed t-shirt that uses Red, White, and Blue to depict the IMAGE of our ensign.
Great shirt, great document, if only the Curlys running this nation were more familiar with this document...
That was my understanding, as well. You shouldn't take a flag and make a shirt out of it, but that's not what this is.
billypuppy wrote: Lots of things.
God bless America, giving everyone the right to say pretty much whatever stupid thing they want. Enjoy it.
I thought this was a pretty harmless design, but I guess that's because I don't have an agenda to yell at people all the time.
Would love to buy one or more of this shirt but not on Anvil. Poor fitting.
CalculatinAvatar wrote:You'll note that I reserved my complaints for your hypothetical behavior and not your person. Please extend the same courtesy and cease presuming to lecture me on faults I have not demonstrated.
Once again I'll try to make you realize how paranoid your response was to my post. You called me a racist. You called me homophobic. You assumed that my citing lynching was in reference to African Americans. I would kindly ask you to go back to my original post (that so offended you) and actually read my words. My post was ironic not insulting. Your response attacked and insulted my character. Your assumptions exposed your preconceptions and your inability to understand what was actually written. When you're able to respond rationally and without emotional outbursts I'll attempt to give your argument consideration. Finally I was not presenting a straw man argument. I was attempting to demonstrate the capricious nature of your "reasoning". I would suggest that you spend more time honing your rhetorical skills and less time reading "The Advocate".
It sucks, because it's on an Anvil blank.
fklock wrote:Not true. The flag code indicates that if an item contains the colors red, white, and blue, has stars or stripes in any pattern, or in any way even makes you think of the American Flag - The article should be treated with the respect due to the the flag itself.
Right, so I should respect this: (Liberia)
and this:(Malaysia)
or perhaps this:(Cuba)
or the flags of Chile, The Philippines, or perhaps North Korea? All should be treated with the respect we show our flag?
And no thanks! (not on Anvil, anyway)
Can we get a confirmation on whether or not it's the unmodified version of the Declaration? I would buy it if it was.
It is a damned shame this one isn't printed on an AA tee. It would be much more fitting to have this printed on a shirt made in the USA.

ckeilah wrote:This is disrespectful of the the flag and our republic. :-(
§176. Respect for flag
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.
I take this to mean that you should not take a flag and wear it as clothing, or use it as a blanket or curtain. Not that you should not have the image of a flag on those things.
Like most of our documents, everything is up for interpretation.
Now, to those calling anyone showing preference for American Apparel a hypocrite, know that there are a few people here that do actually only wear american made clothing.
But the real point is this - woot had the option to give us a choice for AA or Anvil on this garment, depicting our flag and Declaration of Independence. They chose to only give us the Anvil option. I fail to see how highlighting that or letting them know that the choice affected sales is hypocrisy .
Lots of people have expressed a concern about it that has been ignored. Why is this being offered on substandard blanks that Woot should never have started using in the first place? My reasoning for buying Woot shirts was 50/50 the art and the fact that you used to use high quality, comfortable, made in USA AA blanks.
The SHIRT has the ORIGINAL Declaration of Independence on it.
The WRITE-UP was the write up, and as usual, has nothing to do with the actual shirt, or what will be printed on it. It is simply commentary - like it always is. In this case, bad commentary, but still only commentary.
*Insert political propaganda/argument here, and finish with irrational hatred of something or someone.* ~This is why we can't have nice things. Stop using a patriotic image to push your political agenda, it's just obnoxious.

Container Surprise Gardensby Vicki Payne
as seen on For Your Home
Just plant it and forget it. These seasonal containers hold multiple seasons of growing surprises. Throughout the year, you can plant one or more layers of bulb blooming plants in the bottom of your container then top them off with that season's flowering annuals. As the annuals provide color all season the bulbs pop through with providing a colorful surprise garden.
Supplies needed:
A container 12"-18" diameter
6-10 bulbs select for their blooming season
10-20 annuals
Potting soil with fertilizer
Bendable Wire
Gardening Tools
1. Fill your container about 4-5" deep with potting soil.
2. Place your selected bulbs per planting directions into the soil.
3. Add more potting soil until about 2" below the rim of the container.
4. Plant your annuals, covering the entire top of the container.
5. Water well and place in the sun or shade depending on the type of annuals you have planted.
6. After your bulbs have bloomed, twist the remaining leaves into a braid and fold over to the soil. Secure with a small piece of wire. After the leaves turn yellow they can be removed. The bulbs need these leave to feed it during its renewal time.

But I don't know that we've ever asked if any of you own Amazon or Google smart home assistants. I'm talking about Amazon Echo devices and Google Home, of course. Through all of the deals over the holidays and in partnership with phone launches (like the G6), picking up one of these products should have been an affordable thing on numerous occasions.

I Talked About How I Use Android Over at Android Intelligence!
You know you've been around a while when a colleague writes up a profile about your time in the business and starts it out by saying, "Gather 'round, kiddos, 'cause it's time to travel back to the Good Ol' Days of Android." Then again, I kind of have been doing this for a really long time – over 7 years! – so if the boot fits…
Anyways, the piece I'm referring to was written by JR Raphael, the brilliant brain behind the Android Intelligence column over at Computerworld. He runs a regular series called "How I Use Android" that features various personalities in the Android realm. You'll find profiles on developers that make many of your favorite apps, Googlers, podcasters, and the occasional media loud mouth (like me)! (more…)

Luxury is relative and subjective. Luxury is having leisure time, which we don't at Casart because we are getting ready for a sale on One Kings Lane this Sunday, December 2 nd.
Making out your holiday shopping list and checking it twice?
Including the Casart Coverings sale at One Kings Lane would be nice!
Still time to decorate your home with seasonal cheer.
To help do it with ease, Casart Coverings is here.
Elle Decor dubbed their November 2012 issue The Luxury Issue. They surveyed designers and asked some of their favorite designers what constitutes real luxury for them. The results are interesting.
68% of designers surveyed said quality is the most important factor in determining true luxury. 38% said design comes first when selecting items for their clients. High-end materials came in second at 29% and craftsmanship was a surprising third at 22%. Another surprise-no one listed brand or material recognition as important.
What's the most important thing in determining if a home is in the luxury category? Location, of course! (34%) Only 1% mentioned square footage though.
The internet has become an important resource for information. More than half of the designers use it to research furniture and wallcoverings and more than 40% search out fabrics and antiques online.
Where do designers plan to spend their clients' and their own money in 2013? 69% will buy paint seven times or more, fabrics and wallcoverings-64% and rugs and carpeting-50%. 75% of the designers say they are creating custom work for clients as often or more often than before the recession. 72% of the designers say they will make at least seven art and antiques purchases in the next year.
How do some designers define luxury?
"Luxury is living a simple, elegant, and responsible life."-Steven Volpe
"Luxury is defining your life so it fits your needs."-Richard Mishaan
"When something gets made for you, and only you, it's the height of luxury…"-Alexa Hampton
"The ability to travel and see things of interest, even spur-of-the-moment, is luxury."-Jan Showers
"Keep things simple and buy the best you can afford. I'd rather have one fabulous painting than six mediocre paintings."-Waldo Fernandez.
I have my own definition of luxury. To paraphrase Waldo Fernandez, I like to keep things simple but elegant. Here is a picture of something very simple. It is a navel orange I picked off of my tree this morning. It measures 4 1/2 inches high and 5 inches in diameter. It is the largest orange I have ever seen, much less picked from my own tree. I consider it a luxurious food item.
I do buy the best I can afford. I do have one fabulous painting by William Glackens purchased years ago from Hammer Galleries. The circumstances of that purchase made it a luxury for my husband and me. It was more than we could afford at the time and we purchased it in 3 installments!
Her name is Miriam and she surveys the living room and the yard beyond from a central location on a long wall. I walk past her many times each day and she had become a familiar fixture, an old friend, yet I never take her presence for granted. She represents a luxury in my life.

A well thought out home network brings in numerous advantages such as convenient internet access, additional home entertainment options, and ease of sharing files and other equipment like printers, scanners and copiers. Just like any other network setup, home networks do experience some challenges from time to time. Because homes are normally associated with relaxation and the need for privacy, home network challenges can be very frustrating and difficult to diagnose and solve. It is very important to be familiar with some of the most common challenges a home network owner or user is bound to come across and how to solve them.
When you are upgrading your network router or any other equipment, make sure you write down all the customized settings such as passwords, network IP addresses, SSIDs etc. You can do this by having all these details in a spreadsheet and make these records accessible to select family members. Failure to record such details will make it very difficult to have your tablets, phones, or notebooks to access your newly upgraded network.
This mistake may look quite simple but it can disable the entire home network. The most common mistake is to plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem into a LAN (Local Area Network) Port instead of the WAN (Wide Area Network)/ Internet port. Such a mistake usually prevents the router from getting an internet connection. In the event that you cannot access the Internet from your home network, always make a point of checking how the cables have been plugged in.
For a network operating system (NOS) such as Windows, every time you add a new device a pop-up window will appear, asking you whether the new connection should be Work, Public or Home. To allow for sharing always set the policy to Home. You can always confirm the shared devices by checking network device and file sharing settings.
There is nothing really wrong with this channel as such, but with the current technological advancements, you are better off using the 5GHz Channel, the difference in performance is very significant. This is especially important if you are using standards such as 802.11b or 802.11n, but if you are using the 802.11ac standard then the 5GHz Channel is standard and you won't have to change anything.

From The Artists Studio
Unrequited young love and lust. Sound like a movie of the last 20 years? Nope. "A Summer Place" was released in 1959 and starred those two blonder-than-blond, pure-as-the-driven-snow heartthrobs – Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee. Written, directed and produced by Delmer Daves, it was a film with which almost every teenager could identify. And now for the Answer of the Week to the Question of Last Week: the theme to "A Summer Place" was composed by Max Steiner, one of the most talented and popular of film composers. Rent the film sometime. Though it takes you back to a particular era, it is surprisingly mature for the late 50's.
"Two trains, a bus and sand in my shoes" was the exhibition culminating the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center High School to Art School portfolio development program that was taught, this year in RAA's sTudio 7. The exhibition took place Wednesday evening, August 13. It included an impressive collection of drawings, paintings and collage, as well as excerpts from student writing. Rockaway Artists Alliance congratulates all the students on their work and Bill Beirne of P.S.1, who organized the program. P.S. 1 is the leading contemporary art center in the country. This program is part of its efforts to encourage young, emerging artists. We are proud that RAA was chosen as the site of this year's portfolio development program and hope it will be back again next year.
RAA has been in partnership with the NYPD through the Weed and Seed Program to produce a mural on the Madison Boys and Girl's Club at Beach 41 Street and Beach Channel Drive. The art design is by Leigh Walls and the concept design is by MS 198 student Michael Blamo. Look for its installation within a few weeks.

Airbnb Case Inches Forward
Remember Nigel Warren? He's the East Village man who racked up a pile of violation notices after renting out his apartment on Airbnb for three nights, while he was out of town. The fines could cost him thousands of dollars. WNYC reported his story in February.
After some delay, Warren and a lawyer for the city each made their case before administrative law judge Clive Morrick on Thursday.
While the two sides agree on most of the facts, they interpret state law and local codes differently. Michael Burns, an attorney with the Department of Buildings, argued that paid occupancy of apartments for "transient use" of less than 30 days is clearly illegal (friends and relatives who do not pay may legally sleep on the couch for a few nights.)
Speaking without notes, Warren argued that the law makes an exception for short-term paid lodgers when a permanent occupant is present. And he provided an affidavit from a former roommate saying she was indeed in the apartment while Warren's renter was there.
Burns countered that this interpretation was so broad as to render the law "meaningless." He said the exception should apply only to renters who intend to stay for a longer time, like a long-term lodger who renews their lease weekly.
While the violations were issued to Warren's landlord, Warren agreed to clear up the matter himself because he posted the listing to Airbnb. It's unclear how great the penalty could be. Warren has said he believes the fines could total as high as $30,000, but the judge on Thursday listed possible fines that would total $7,000.
Also present in Judge Morrick's small, windowless office were three representatives of Airbnb, which successfully petitioned to be a "discretionary intervenor" in the case. This is believed to be the first time Airbnb has made a motion on behalf of a user.
Judge Morrick asked questions and scribbled notes on a white legal pad throughout the proceeding, which lasted over an hour. He promised to make his decision known by mail within 30 days.
Afterwards, Warren gave himself middling marks for representing himself.
"This was far more of an official court procedure than I imagined. And I'm not a lawyer. I don't know how to cross examine somebody," he said.

RE: st: -gmm- Heckman problem
Wed, 19 Sep 2012 02:42:58 +0530
Hello Nick,
I am sorry about not using the initial capitals for proper nouns. I will keep that in mind.
The $mills in the previous email is a typo only in the email and not in the code. In the code it is $mil - this I define. I am pasting the full code again.
When I run the code (pasted below) I get some errors. I describe them below.
*Main code
global xb "{b1}*tage+{b2}*sqage+{b3}*child_less_18+{b4}*marry+{b5}*faminc+{b6}*efnp+{b7}*metro+{b8}*race+{b9}*firmsize+{b0}"
global phi "normalden($xb)"
global Phi "normal($xb)"
global mil "$phi/$Phi" // calculating the Inverse Mills ratio
global a1 "($phi/($Phi*(1-$Phi)))*(trad-$Phi)" // derivative of the selection likelihood. Here trad is the dummy for observed log(wage)
//eq 2
global xb2 "{beta1}*tage+{beta2}*sqage+{beta3}*marry+{beta4}*metro+{beta5}*race+{beta6}*firmsize+{beta0}" // wage equation
//First gmm command
gmm (eq1:$a1)(eq2:lnwage-$xb2-{gamma}*($phi/$Phi)), ///
instruments(eq1: tage sqage child_less_18 marry faminc efnp metro race firmsize) ///
instruments(eq2: tage sqage marry metro race firmsize $mil) winitial(identity)
When I run the above gmm command where instruments for the second equation includes $mil, I get the following error
> ace+{b9}*firmsize+{b0})/normal
numlist in operator invalid
I have checked the other parts of the code and this error is mainly to do with the $mil as an instrument in the gmm command.
When I run the gmm code replacing $mil with $phi and $Phi as instruments as below
gmm (eq1:$a1)(eq2:lnwage-$xb2-{gamma}*($phi/$Phi)), ///
instruments(eq1: tage sqage rfoklt18 marry faminc efnp metro race firmsize) ///
instruments(eq2: tage sqage marry metro race firmsize $phi $Phi) winitial(identity)
I get the following error as "{ Invalid name"
I would like to know why is this the case and how should I specify the Inverse Mills ratio ($mil) as an instrument in the -gmm- command?
Thank you for any help.

Print Interview
When you were growing up, what did you think you would do with your life?
Jimmy Carter: From the time I was five years old, if you had asked me, "What are you going to do when you grow up?" I would have said, "I want to go to the Naval Academy, get a college education, and serve in the U.S. Navy." My family had all been farmers for 350 years in this country. Working people, and no member of my father's family had ever finished high school, so this was an ambition that seemed like a dream then. It was during the Depression years, in the late '30s and '40s, and a college education was looked upon as financially impossible. The only two choices we had were to go to West Point or Annapolis, where the government paid for the education. I had a favorite uncle who was in the Navy, so I chose Annapolis. But that was my standard answer, from which I never deviated until I was 18 years old and went to college to prepare and then I went on to Annapolis.
Jimmy Carter: Not really. I always had a pretty singular commitment then, not knowing that I would serve a while in the Navy and then get involved in other things. But the college challenge, or dream, was very vivid to me. If I hadn't gotten into the Naval Academy, then I would probably have become a college professor and gone on to graduate work. But as a child, I had a single-minded commitment to go to Annapolis.
At some point you got out of the Navy and became interested in politics. What attracted you to that?
Jimmy Carter: I was in the Navy 11 years, counting the three years at the Naval Academy. And then when I did resign, I came home.
I was influenced by my father, who, in the tiny village of Plains and the surrounding farming community, played a very vital role -- in the church, he was on the local school board, he was on the local hospital authority. He had run for the legislature, served in the House of Representatives. When my daddy was dying, I got off from my work as one of the young officers working with Admiral Hyman Rickover in the nuclear program then. I saw that my daddy's life was very extensive and very valuable to people. So when I went home, I pretty well emulated what he had been doing. I got involved in a lot of things that I need not describe right now, one of which was to be chairman of the local school board -- the county school board -- during the integration years, very difficult times. And some of the major politicians in Georgia, even those that were looked upon as being moderate, were promising that if one black child went into the public school system, they would close it down. The main candidate for governor, his slogan was "No, not one," and he would hold up one finger to indicate this. So, I decided that I could, if I went to the Georgia Senate, which was reapportioned that year, that I might help protect the school system. So when I was finally elected and got to Atlanta, my only request in the Senate was to be put on the Education Committee, and I very quickly became the chairman of the University Committee. But it was because of that interest in education that I decided to go into politics.
Farming is hard work, and so is being in the Navy, but they must have looked pretty good when you saw how hard campaigning for political office was.
Jimmy Carter: People ask me, "How did you stand the long campaigning? How did you stand being charged with the responsibilities of a great nation, one of the most powerful and difficult jobs in the world?" It wasn't any more difficult than picking cotton all day or shaking peanuts. There is an equality there. If you have a task to perform and are vitally interested in it, excited and challenged by it, then you will exert maximum energy. But in the excitement, the pain of fatigue dissipates, and the exuberance of what you hope to achieve overcomes the reluctance.
[ Key to Success ] Passion
Was there one experience or event that inspired you as a young man?
Jimmy Carter: My father, although admirable in many ways, measured by modern day standards, would have been looked upon as very conservative on the race issue, which was a way of life in Georgia then. Mother never paid any attention to that. We lived in a remote area outside of Plains, a little community called Archery. It was during the Depression years, as I've said already. Mother, being a registered nurse, acted almost as a medical doctor for the poor families around Archery. They would come to my mother, and she also did nursing duties in the hospital nearby. But she would help them with childbirth or with illnesses without any charge. I could see that my mother broke down the barriers of race discrimination at that time. I think that made more of an impression on me. My daddy was a very dominant person in the family, but in the relationship between mother and our black neighbors, which was quite startling for the Plains community of those days, my father could not dominate my mother, and I think that was an inspirational aspect of life that was very memorable.
Who influenced you the most?
Jimmy Carter: My mother in that way I've described. My daddy taught me how much a man could do in dealing directly with a multiplicity of responsibilities.
Outside my family, the main person, outside of my father, the main man who has had an influence on my life is Admiral Hyman Rickover. I was one of the two young officers in the program to build atomic submarines. There were two built: the Nautilus and the Sea Wolf. I was in charge of the crew that was helping to build the Sea Wolf and building the nuclear power plant that later became a prototype. Rickover was a man who demanded absolute excellence and total dedication from all those who worked under him. He demanded as much from himself. And so he set a standard of commitment and perfection in life that I had never experienced before. He really had a great impact on my life.

Foglight mod question
I did the foglight mod, but am a little worried of just sticking a piece of wire in where the relay should be.
Are there no reports of catching fire?
unless you use too small a guage wire, you shouldn't have any problems. a too small wire will melt
So what gauge wire should I use?
get some male spade connectors. here is a male/female set for less than $2. IIRC, the 1/4" spade works fine.
¼" Crimp-On Quick Disconnects
How-To : Independent Fog Lights by Arechiga
I have had the foglight mod on my car almost since day one (over 18 months now) and have never had a problem with it at all!
So just like the picture shows and I shouldn't have any problems? I like that little mod....
Don't be shoving wires into your fuse box, no offense to anyone but thats just dumb. Take the foglight relay out (not sure of the number off hand), take the plastic cover off and use what ever you like (small zip strip for example) to make the metal tab coming off the side of the relay to make constant contact. Put the plastic cover back on and stick the relay in the fuse box and its done. Takes about 5min and $1 in parts (for the extra tiny zip strips). I know the wire method works but come on people when I first read to do it that way I thought you people are crazy (and I still do). Common sense says not to stick wires into a fuse box.
"Common sense says not to stick wires into a fuse box."
Uhhhh, yeah. That would be the point of a fuse box. If something goes wrong, the fuse is supposed to pop. If there is a straight wire in there, I would think that the car would catch on fire if there was to be a problem.
say, i really can't say there is much difference b/w putting a wire with spade connectors into the proper slots and modifying the relay. a glance at the manual shows fuse #44 (20amp) protecting the circuit.
there is nothing crazy about either method. it might take a certain amount of courage to mess with anything electrical the first time? or the first couple of times. i use a wire and spade connectors and find the most frequent worry with the car is potholes or similar with the "bendy" five-spoke wheels. i spent more time writing two postings to this board than on the mod ... and neither is my electrical harness melted nor my car in flames.
Well, if you're wired about it catching on fire, then just put in a line fuse so if it blows, the wire is short circuited. They sell those at Wal-Mart with blade fuse or glass fuse in line with 30A rated wire for less than $2.00.

For Women's History Month, we honor some of the army of activist heroes who have fought the struggle for women's rights over the years. Rather than focusing on the more familiar names, from Susan B. Anthony to Gloria Steinem, we look to some lesser-known (with a couple of exceptions) American and British champions of gender equality. And of course, Nameberry being Nameberry, we've picked the ones with the most distinctive names.
Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge—a descendent of Patrick Henry who had a mother named Issa and siblings called Desha and Curry—was a lawyer and social worker who was a tireless advocate for social reform, prominent in the National Woman Suffrage Association. Her name would be a long and difficult route to the nickname Soph.

I already mentioned the cat family (mostly spayed) , living in our small animal shelter/field hospital, well Mazal tov, to our twin black&white sisters, both with litter of kittens, chose to keep them close to mountain of hay, being often placed or minimized, by a tractor to feed goats and sheep; so our twin mothers, too young to know better, with the first sign of insecurity, just gave up on the kittens, and abandoned them, both.This morning the farmer informed me that the 2 ladies just don't come to feed the kitties. So I picked them, one more mature 2 weeks old , and 4 other very small 1 week kitties, some with eyes still closed. They are now in my small house, which was Pessah cleaned and partly painted, as for the last 6 months, my house served as a nursery to doggy puppies, as foster home, until adoption , so, you can imagine how it was full of s h i t and smelling like Hiria, so now for a change I baby-sit care for 5 tiny baby cats. To think that just a day before Pessah, the last dog puppy was adopted, and I enjoyed the idea
That for a while , my life returns to me, with no extra care, besides the daily maintenance of our northern pinat hai- so, hereby some pictures of my temporary new family. Actually, between us, I really don't mind being occupied in keeping alive living creatures

In addition to Piper, noted English actors Helen McCrory (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 & 2), Danny Sapani (The Bill) and Simon Russell Beale (My Week with Marilyn, MI-5) will also star in the drama series. McCrory will play "Madame Kali," a spiritualist; Sapani will take on "Sembene," an African warrior and longtime ally of Sir Malcolm (Dalton); and Russell Beale will star as "Ferdinand Lyle," an eccentric Egyptologist.

Hawke's Bay's Reynolds brothers, Robbie and Finn, train together regularly on their home tennis court at Havelock North.
So it wasn't a surprise when they produced an exhibition spectators wouldn't have minded paying for, had they been asked, during Saturday's round of the Bay's premier men's competition at Napier's Onekawa courts.
It wasn't just the numerous 20 shot-plus rallies which produced quality and which belied the pair's ages, Robbie is 15 and Finn, the country's second ranked under-14 player and former national under-12 champion, is 13.
Their sportsmanship was first class, too, with each of the pair quick to praise the other after an emphatic winner or a cracker of a serve. Robbie won 7-5, 6-1 to help his Tracta Team Kitching beat top-of-the-table Hughes and Smyth Unichem Pharmacy Team Wilson 8-6 on a sets countback after matches were drawn 3-all.
Robbie agreed his two-year age difference and superior physicality proved the difference against his-left-handed opponent.
"I won today and the last time when we played at the under-16 nationals in Ashburton. But I haven't always had the upper hand ... Finn had won the previous two matches before them and is a very good player," Robbie said.
He is looking forward to playing in the same team as his younger brother for Napier Boys' High School in upcoming Super 8 fixtures.
Another key to Team Kitching's upset victory was Team Wilson's captain and No 1 Shane Wilson having to retire injured in his singles match against Jason Kitching. Wilson still hadn't recovered from his achilles injury collected the previous week and was trailing 2-0 in the second set after losing the first 6-4 when he conceded to the pain.
Wilson and Trevor Hinton had to default their top doubles match to Kitching and Robbie Reynolds.
Other ties saw Shed 2 Team Donovan wallop Rowe Light Team Cooper 6-0 and Jeff Gray Land Rover Team Giddy beat Sainsbury Logan and Williams Team Curtis 4-2. These results mean four teams have a chance of qualifying for the March 16 final.
Team Wilson will start this weekend's final round robin round four points ahead of Team Curtis, Team Donovan and Team Giddy, who are all second equal on 43 points.

PPI-SA was able to do a lot of great work this year, and we would like to take an opportunity to highlight the best of the year 2013 in a 2 part blog series. PPI-SA can sometimes face unconventional and unique circumstances that can make even a simple basketball game a challenge. This year, the staff at PPI-SA continued to be creative and innovative to overcome the many obstacles we face in order to make our program successful. This is a tribute to the staff and participants of PPI-SA who came together to make the year 2013 a special one.
Bridging Divides: Bringing communities together
For the first time, PPI-SA brought the communities of Wentworth and Lamontville together for a day of basketball and fun. Although the communities of Wentworth and Lamontville are separated by only six lanes of traffic, known as the M4 highway, the children rarely, if ever, interact. This was an opportunity for PPI-SA to successfully bridge a real divide in the communities we work in. An outsider at the event might have assumed they had all been friends for life as they laughed, played, and competed against each other throughout the afternoon.
Developing Leaders: 9 PPI-SA coaches took part in the Laureus YES Program!
Through our partnership with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, PPI-SA took part in the 2nd year of the Laureus YES (Youth Empowerment through Sport) Program. Through the program, leaders from all over South Africa are selected for a 1 year program aimed at empowering young people to use sport as a tool to promote positive change in their lives and communities.
In 2013, 9 PPI-SA coaches were selected to participate in the program! That's 25% of this year's YES participants, and over 50% of our coaches! We are proud to be producing well-rounded and successful coaches that can take what they have learned at PPI-SA into the greater sport for development community in South Africa.
As a part of the YES program, each leader had to plan and execute their own community event using sport to make a positive impact in the community. These events were incredible! For a lot of the coaches it was their first time running their own event, so PPI-SA staff were there to help them the whole way. We are really proud of these young leaders, who graduated at a special ceremony in Johannesburg from the YES program this past week.
Changing Perceptions: We hosted 2 City-Wide Tournaments!
PPI-SA hosted the 21st and 22nd City-Wide Tournaments this year! Our first tournament was back in March 2013, we were able to bring together children from 23 different schools in 6 different communities. We also were lucky to have the support from the United States Consulate, who helped fund and sent volunteers for the tournament.
Our second CityWide took place just a few short weeks ago, and we were so happy to be able to end the year on such a positive note. We teamed up with the Sports for Social Change network, Laureus, and the Brooklyn Nets to make the event possible. It was the last event for international fellow Kristin Degou, who had spent her last two years working for PPI-SA.
