Derisive haters
Is it not odd that derisive leftists feel it is necessary to dictate to Christians what they should say and worship?
Phil DeGiulio (DRC, Aug. 29) may want to actually look at a Bible before trying to lecture folks on it.
Only the schlemiels on the left compare an innocent life to a convicted predator, which has committed murder(s).
I personally believe there are many conflicts that the USA should not be getting involved in.
But does Phil DeGiulio really think that the world would be better with National Socialism, Imperial Japan and al-Qaida?
Jim Stodola (DRC, July 13) lets us know that "trees, shrubs and flowers" are loved and valued as much as human life.
Then he cackled that Christians "must look the Jew, the Muslim and the atheist in the eye and tell each of them that you are sorry" for saying you are the only ones going to heaven.
Well, Wiccans, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Scientologists and atheists also believe that they alone know the correct path.
So why don't these wormy leftists tell Islamists what they should speak and believe?
The good news is that the First Amendment allows everyone to freely speak and exercise their own religion.
So, if a person wants to worship trees, shrubs or some Marxist politician, they are free to do so.
But for the rest of us, we will believe our own eyes and follow the Truth and not a cluster of Christ-haters.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
The Food Lovers Fat loss System.This system was ordered Oct 31, via a televised infomercial . I was at no time told of the return policy. The day I received the package(no food, only books and cds), I called to inquire of the return policy.
I was told it could not be returned until all the 6 monthly payments had been made. I called again 1 month later, after I read that it would have to be returned within 6 weeks, but was given the same information that it could not be returned for 6 months. I called again March 31, when the 6th payment was about to be made and was told it is too late. I spoke to a Juan and a Jeanie, who were as rude as possible. I asked for the owner or manager and they would not give me any information. I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charges, they agreed and returned most of my money. Then I received a call threatening the balance would be turned over for collection. This company is a scam, using boiler room tactics.

Show Preview: Christina Perri 8/19 @ Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood
Get ready, Atlanta, Christina Perri is coming to town and it is going to be one show you do not want to miss! On Tuesday, August 19th, Christina Perri will light up the stage of Aaron's Ampitheatre at Lakewood as she opens for One Republic.
Christina Perri started writing songs when she was 15 and has been pouring her heart and soul into her music for over a decade now. This 27-year-old songbird might be young in years, but her songs reflect a much older soul. Her music is insightful, soulful and deeply emotional. "The intention of my music is pretty simple: I want to make people feel less broken and alone," says Perri.
Perri broke into the music industry in a major way when her song, "Jar of Hearts," was featured on an episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Within two weeks of the show, "Jar of Hearts" received more than 100,000 downloads, catapulting Perri into the Billboard Top 40 and into stardom.
Head or Heart, Perri's latest album, was released in April of this year. The 13 song album is a earnest, engaging album that takes it's listeners on a highly emotional journey. Contributors to the album included music industry sweethearts Butch Walker and Jack Antonoff.
If you've never heard Perri's music, or never seen her live, get ready for a show that will far exceed your expectations. Perri is no quiet musician with an acoustic guitar in the middle of stage- she's so much more. Perri pours her whole self out into her performances and leaves her audience hungry for more. Even for someone who has never heard her music before, you'll find her music extremely related. Her live show are a sight to be seen, so get your tickets now.

After HT carried a report on how a Norwegian woman was being harassed for lodging police complaints about the mysterious death of 10 stray dogs in her NSG Black Cat Enclave area, the UP Police has finally swung into action and lodged an FIR against unidentified persons.
Also, Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Preetinder Singh has ordered an inquiry into the case. He has asked police officials to identify the dog killers and those who harassed the woman and her 16-year-old daughter, at the earliest.
"We have lodged an FIR. Investigation into the case to nab people who killed 10 stray dogs has started. We hope to catch the culprits, who as per the FIR first killed the dogs and then harassed the complainant and her daughter," said Deepak Sharma, police official at the Kasna police station.
The Norwegian national, Maria Fredrick, had first lodged an FIR at this police station.
The SSP said it was a harassment case and strict action would be taken against the culprits. "I have asked the Kasna station house officer (SHO) and circle officer-1 to look into the case. They are likely to submit their report by tomorrow. We will provide the best security to the woman and her daughter. Also, we will ensure that culprits are arrested soon," he said.
The animal lover has been receiving obscene phone calls and threatened to withdraw the complaint.
Fredrick, a widow, stays with her daughter Macdlina. Fredrick has alleged that she and her daughter, who studies in Class 11 at a private school, are stalked every time they venture out.
Disappointed of police inaction, she sent two carcasses of dogs to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), which in the postmortem reports said that the animals had died of suffocation.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey everyone, I'm in the midst of working on my zine about being diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit disorder) after years of misdiagnosis and misdirected treatment, and going through years of school and jobs and such. Are there any other zines out there about ADHD? I'm not interested in straight-out anti-psychiatry anti-science stuff, but nuanced views are certainly welcome, as my own view is…

If I could afford a Dan Wilson or an Ed Brown, or any of the other top end 1911's, I would probably get one.
This is a discussion on I was thinking of a semi-custom 1911, but... within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hi, For nearly two years I have been seriously debating purchasing a Wilson or Ed Brown. The more I think about, the more I can't ...
For nearly two years I have been seriously debating purchasing a Wilson or Ed Brown. The more I think about, the more I can't justify the $2,500-$3,000 price tag for one handgun. I
currently own an XD45c and 40sc, but I want something different. As of now, I am leaning towards trading in my XDs and purchasing a Glock 21 Gen 4, HK45C with light LEM trigger and a Seecamp .380acp. All three would come in less than any Wilson or EB. I would use the Glock for yearly LEO qualifications and winter carry. The HK for the CCW the rest of the yer except hot summer days and the Seecamp for very hot days, going to the beach and maybe as a backup to the other two depending where I am going. What do you guys think?

Only you can decide what is best for you. I am a big 1911 fan and for that reason I should get the 1911; I rather have one gun that I like than three I do not. And I can justify the $2,500-$3,000 price tag for a Wilson or an Ed Brown.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
I'd love a custom 1911, ajgranda. However, like you, I can not justify spending that much money for a single weapon. I have a G 19 Gen 4 that works well. I'm looking at a Colt 1911 but my pocketbook keeps saying Glock 36!
Good luck!
Praise the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle --- Psalm 144
a 1911 & a striker fired gun are two very different animals. If you are going to have one or the other I would buy whatever you shoot best.
Check out this thread first though before you drop lots of pennies on a 1911. Pay attention to what Roy from Gray Guns says about Dan Wesson 1911s. It might save you a few of those pennies.
There has to be a difference Dan Wesson 1911s. - Topic
Buy what you really want or you'll forever be disappointed. I don't see the Glock and the HK doing aything for you that your XDs won't and I prefer small revolvers to small autos for reliability. Personally, I'm a 1911 guy - carry 1911's on and off duty, compete with them, etc. - I have no interest in owning any of the three guns you've listed. My BUG/carry when nothing else will fit is a custom 9mm scandium S&W J-frame.
If you really want a Wilson, Brown, Baer, etc. or a custom gun, look at the used market (guys that drop that kind of cash tend to take care of their guns) as there are always deals to be found. I have several famous name custom 1911s and revolvers that I got good deals on that can't be replicated for anything close to what I paid.
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - LtCol Jeff Cooper
If you want a high quality 1911, but you don't want to spend $2500-3000, you might want to take a look at the Dan Wesson guns. Prices range from about $1300-2000 depending on the model you want.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

Oh boy, you guys aren't helping with this decision. I can say I shoot a G21 the best and the 4th Gen feels much better in my hands. Probably because that was my duty weapon for many years. J frame would probably make a better bug than the Seecamp. Just not as pretty. I would also need to qualify with it, if I want to carry it out of state. Doing a LE qualification with a J frame wouldn't be much fun.

Come on, if you think you can qualify with a Seecamp you can qualify with a j-frame.

If I had the money I would get the high end 1911.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
While I love 1911s, I could buy a SIG or H&K, a Kimber, a J-frame Smith, a Glock or an M&P, holsters all around, and maybe have a little change for some ammo, if I had three grand to unload. And at the end of the day I'd have a nice 1911 in the arsenal.
You'll eventually come back around to the 1911, because that's what you really want
When you stop and figure out how much money you've thrown away in dumb things (like interest) over the years, a couple grand isn't that big of a deal.
I have a brother that dropped $3000 on a tv. He would think I was 100% dumb for what I have in my ar. But, guess which one is worth more after 12 months?
Have you considered how much money you have spent eating out, and buying barista coffee over a year's time?
Take the time, save the money, and get what you really want. If you decide that it wasn't worth the money, you can turn around and sell it with very little loss, if any.
Trust in God and keep your powder dry
"A heavily armed citizenry is not about overthrowing the government; it is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty. A people stripped of their right of self defense is defenseless against their own government." -source
"I have been seriously debating purchasing a Wilson or Ed Brown."
Actually both (WILSON & Brown) hold their dollar value very well if kept in nice used condition.
So you'll always get a decent amount of your initial investment back should you ever decide to sell.
If you think about it that way the asking price does not seem quite so steep.
AJ, it depends on what you really want.
If you really want a top end, 1911 type pistol with bells and whistles, then go for it. However, if you want a primary defense pistol - and one you might have to surrender as evidence if you ever need to use it - then you might want to consider something less expensive. (Expensive as in money, not quality.) The only nice thing I say about Glocks is they work pretty well. I don't find them more reliable than many others, but no less, either. (Unless you have to pistol whip someone; they just don't have any 'heft' to them. ) A decent revolver will probably do everything you want as well. I've got two or three S&W M10s I would trade for the world. Serious +p ammo works very well if the shooter can deliver. (At least, that's what Jim Cirillo said.)
It's your money and your pistol. I own several pistols simply because they are great guns and I have a certain 'pride' in owning them. Nothing wrong with that. On the other hand, your budget may be earmarked for other projects. There's no fault in that either.
Anyone Worth Shooting Is Worth Shooting Well
Please take a look at my Blog: http://oldmanmontgomery.wordpress.com/
Now IMO, if you purchase a gun like an Ed Brown you should never plan on selling it, but, if worse came to worse, you always could. Just imagine the joy you would get from simply waking up in the morning to the sound of blue jays singing their songs while the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans hovers in the air, the sun gleaming on your custom Ed Brown coffee table. As you flick on your custom Ed Brown television to see Ed Brown himself, delivering the news. You notice on your custom Ed Brown marble counter kitchen top the inscription "Ed Brown" so elegantly inscribed in cursive writing on your custom Ed Brown 1911 slide. Ed Brown, quality, excellence, dedication....haha..where did that come from

Depth of focus and visual acuity with primary and secondary spherical aberration
Yi, F., Robert Iskander, D., & Collins, M. J. (2011) Depth of focus and visual acuity with primary and secondary spherical aberration. Vision Research, 51(4), pp. 1648-1658.
Accepted Version
(PDF 947kB)
It is known that the depth of focus (DOF) of the human eye can be affected by the higher order aberrations. We estimated the optimal combinations of primary and secondary Zernike spherical aberration to expand the DOF and evaluated their efficiency in real eyes using an adaptive optics system. The ratio between increased DOF and loss of visual acuity was used as the performance indicator. The results indicate that primary or secondary spherical aberration alone shows similar effectiveness in extending the DOF. However, combinations of primary and secondary spherical aberration with different signs provide better efficiency for expanding the DOF. This finding suggests that the optimal combinations of primary and secondary spherical aberration may be useful in the design of optical presbyopic corrections. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

About MeMy name is Zahira and I am an aspiring fitness model. My dream is to inspire young women to be fit and healthy in a natural way. The images in the fitness world at the moment promote ideals that are not necessarily attainable without the aid of plastic surgery in the form of breast enhancements; and while I don't pass judgment on that, I feel like there should be other images in the industry that offset that.. and that's where I would come in. I believe we should embrace our bodies and celebrate them just the way they are. From this site I hope to get exposure and bookings for fitness work. The best way to contact me is via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I changed my oil on my last car every 4000 miles synthetic (2003 Nissan Maxima). Well I was planning on changing my oil on my Bimmer at around 5-7 thousand miles, but the dealer said the warranty gets voided if I do it. Plus, If I tell the dealer to do it at 5-7 then they say they won't do it, saying that it still has another 8-10 thousand miles it can go. BTW great thread helps a lot of people!
That dealer are a bunch of idiots then. It won't void your warranty if you change your oil. Do it yourself once in between every 15,000 mile oil change they give you. Or take it to an indy shop and have them do it.
http:/www.bimrs.org is a great place to find a good indy shop. So basically do 7,500 interval oil changes, once yourself/indy shop, then the dealer, then yourself/indy shop, then the dealer...on and on and on. Don't listen to them, it won't void your warranty, they're just trying to scare you.
As for the guy that mentioned the ex-CEO who drove 100,000 miles on original oil. That's one of the biggest crocks of crap I've ever read in my life. That guy's engine must be running on mud by now

How Soon Until the Free Market Stops the Oil Spill?
Original post made by tey, Downtown, on Jun 2, 2010
Web Link
By Bob Cesca
I'm sitting here at my desk watching the oil droids hack away at the blowout preventer in preparation for the "cap" portion of the "cut and cap" procedure, which, contrary to what I'm hearing on cable news, is intended to do something other than stopping the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, this latest solution isn't a solution for stopping the flow of oil at all. The oil will continue to gush from the well, only now BP will be able to more effectively harvest some of the oil -- a more reliable version of what they were doing with the riser insertion tube for the better part of last month.
Good for them. So they can resume drinking their milkshake between now and August when, we hope, the relief well will be completed. At which time, corporate milkshake drinking will carry on via more conventional methods.
And why not? It's the free market after all. As I watch these robots slice the riser from the blowout preventer and read the news about lakes of oil moving towards the coasts of Florida, I'm wondering who to blame for this. The list is long, but, in part, I blame anyone who bought into the lines: "government is the problem" and "the era of big government is over." It's been systematic deregulation and the elevation of free market libertarian laissez-faire capitalism that have wrought this damage and allowed potentially destructive corporations to write their own rules and do as they please.
Does anyone seriously believe that BP has suddenly become a philanthropic venture interested in doing whatever it takes -- sparing no expense -- to make the Gulf region whole again? It will do the absolute minimum necessary to weasel its way through this crisis. Not a red cent more.
Last week, while the "top kill" procedure was failing, BP continued its effort to fight regulations in Canada mandating relief wells for every offshore rig. Simultaneously, Rayola Dougher, a lobbyist with the American Petroleum Institute laughed off the notion of requiring relief wells here in America.
Dougher said on MSNBC, "That would be -- that would really make it unviable [sic]. I couldn't even imagine such a suggestion." A relief well costs around $100 million. That would cut into revenues and so -- nope.
This is one of many reasons why Robert Reich's plan makes sense at this point. Temporary receivership. Despite the political peril involved in such an endeavor, the government should take over BP, its manpower and assets, and eliminate the corporate revenue motive from the capping and cleanup process. BP has proved itself incapable of tackling this job with the best interests of Gulf coast livelihoods and the marine environment in mind, and so they ought to lose their privileges to operate in the Gulf of Mexico for a while.
After all, the nature of any corporation is to mitigate losses and increase revenues. Keep the shareholders as happy as possible, spend the least amount of money necessary, hire the best lawyers to avoid paying punitive fines and get back to drilling and selling oil for profit. This is what corporations do.
So it comes as no surprise that the only achievements since the rig explosion have involved releasing a syllabus of weasely remarks designed to ameliorate any damage to the BP brand, and literally harvesting oil from the riser.
At the peak of the riser insertion tube's efficacy, BP was successfully harvesting around 200,000 gallons of oil per day with a total capacity to process around 15,000 barrels per day. That's a lot of milkshake drinking in the middle of an unprecedented oil spill. And so BP will probably do what they always do. Refine and sell those barrels for a profit. And once the relief wells are completed, they'll do the same.
Regardless of Justice Department investigations or lawsuits or cleanup costs, BP will emerge from this disaster and continue to profit from the drilling and selling of petroleum, including the oil from Macondo prospect.
Exxon, as precedent, is now Exxon-Mobil and is doing just fine. It endlessly appealed the fines imposed as the result of Valdez oil spill and whittled the down the cost of the disaster to corporate pocket change, and whatever money they paid out was covered by insurance policies.
Read that again. Exxon almost entirely escaped financial damages from the Valdez. In fact, it spent most of the last 21 years appealing its financial liability related to the Prince William Sound disaster. Why? Mitigating losses, and increasing revenues. There's no reason or evidence to believe that BP will be any different, lest anyone think they're in this to take full responsibility and do whatever it takes to repair the Gulf waters and its coastline.
Predictably, BP has lied or misrepresented the truth all along the way.
Before a drop of oil was spilled, they deliberately refused to invest in crucial failsafe mechanisms to prevent this sort of tragedy in the first place.
Following the rig explosion, they detained workers who witnessed the Deepwater Horizon explosion.
They attempted to distribute ridiculously small settlement offers.
They consistently low-balled the estimated volume of oil leaking from the riser and blowout preventer, arguably to avoid harsher liability.
They brazenly refused to stop using Corexit despite evidence that it was more toxic than other chemical dispersants.
BP's CEO, Tony Hayward, tried to tell us that the environmental damage will be "very, very modest."
They ordered federal Coast Guard officers to shoo the press away from tar-balled beaches.
They're preventing other reporters from photographing dead animals.
This week, they not only denied the existence of massive underwater plumes of dispersed oil, but, on top of it all, they've hired Dick Cheney's former press secretary to run their PR efforts. Any minute now, I'm half expecting to hear that the oil spill is in its "last throes."
Are we to believe that this is a corporation acting responsibly and with the best interests of the Gulf in mind? Not a chance in hell. This is a spoiled, petulant and entitled corporation operating in a largely deregulated free market atmosphere, and BP is so arrogant that it expects this atmosphere to carry it through this thing.
Simultaneously, most of the small businesses along the Gulf coast, which have nothing to do with the oil industry, have been crushed. Someone explain to those people how they shouldn't sweat it -- their businesses are just small sacrifices in the grander scheme of unregulated capitalism on the march. Clear the way, Mr. Gump with your shrimp boat, the free market has to drill, baby, drill. Didn't you hear? The "era of big government" ended back in the 1990s. You obviously didn't get the message, so, you know, buh-bye.
Forty years of corporate deregulation by conservative Republican Ayn Rand fetishists (and their Democratic enablers) have successfully poisoned the Gulf of Mexico. Ironically, the most liberal pro-regulation president in this same span of time -- the president who has announced on several occasions a significant break from Reagan's "government is the problem" mantra -- appears to be the only politician being blamed for this so far. One of many reasons why I fear it'll be another 40 years before we roll back this free market monster.
And, as I watch this video, the solution occurs to me: they should just plug the oil leak with every single existing copy of Atlas Shrugged.

Let me guess, you are Hugo Chavez's brother.
As you identify all blameworthy parties, save some for room for the enviro-leftists who forced any offshore drilling to the uber-deep waters where it is painfully obvious that the highest risks are.
Plus, why aren't we drilling in Anwar too...where any leaks could be patched very easily? Answer...the Democrats have blocked this.
Yes, BP is not innocent...and I do lay some blame with them.
But the Fed is also at fault for lax regulations.
Don't give me this bull that the problem is with the free market. And yes, excrement happens sometimes too. If it weren't for the Democrats, this excrement could have been fixed much easier.
Further, Obama is exacerbating the situation...by his non-response, non-action.

Republicans are some of the worst NIMBY people out there. Now you're blaming the democrats for NIMBY offshore drilling?
Just take a look at all the No on D signs in this Republican town. That is a prime example of NIMBY-ism. How can you be for private property rights, yet you're against the private property rights of the Lins?
Democrats were not the only party against drilling for oil near our coastlines. People ACROSS party lines were against it, left and right.
But at least you are reasonable in wanting more government intervention, which if it were like that in the first place this fiasco probably would not have happened.

I love this line: "But the Fed is also at fault for lax regulations." This is the same thing we heard with the financial meltdown. For 30 years, we've heard nonstop from the spawn of reagan that the government has to get out of the way, that there's too much regulation, that the free market's should allow unfettered access because they're more efficient than the government, blah blah blah. And whenever anything blows up in their face you hear the wingnuts blaming the government for lax oversight. You're right, the fed is at fault for lax regulation, but only because of 30 years of an executive branch that has been dominated by republican appointees (since 1980, the dems have been in charge of the regulatory agencies for a total of 9 years), usually revolving-door appointees from the very companies these agencies are overseeing. Maybe if these regulatory agencies were run by people who actually believed in the role of the federal government as a check on the unfettered greed of corporations, we'd be in a better position.
And to claim that this is the fault for environmental regulations pushing drilling into more dangerous areas is like saying it's the fault of the wife who's brutally raped by her husband because she wasn't putting out and making it to hard for him to drill, baby drill. And yes, it is fair to call this a brutal rape of our environment by a major multinational corporation.

Albert Goodman's baking prowess raises funds for Macmillan
Albert Goodman held its first staff charity event this week as part of a recent pledge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support in 2011, with staff at the firm's Taunton office participating in the inaugural Albert Goodman Cake-Off competition.
The firm's budding bakers each paid £2 to enter the competition, with less confident cooks paying £1 to sample the cakes and cast their all-important votes. A total of £68 was raised on the day and the coveted title of Best Albert Goodman Cake Maker 2011 went to Sam Harris, whose Apple Tart won 29% of the votes.
The competition was the idea of secretary Debbie Ward, who has worked at Albert Goodman in Taunton for 16 years. Debbie said, "Macmillan Cancer Support is an excellent charity and all the Albert Goodman staff are really keen to participate and contribute to Centenary Business Challenge. The Cake-Off has been especially well supported, particularly by those wishing to taste the cakes and cast a vote. Timing was all important; we held the tasting competition just at the time staff were getting the late-morning munchies! Following the success of the Cake-Off, we are organising several other events over the next few months to contribute further towards Macmillan's centenary appeal."
Albert Goodman was the first company in Somerset to sign up to join the Macmillan Cancer Support Centenary Business Challenge. Launched in the New Year, the Challenge asks for 100 companies across the county to raise £1,000 each for the charity in its centenary year, helping people in the county affected by cancer. Every year more than 4,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in Somerset and Macmillan offers practical, medical, emotional and financial support to those affected.
Claire Coles, Area Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support, commented, "We are thrilled that Albert Goodman is so excited about getting involved in fundraising for our centenary. It's a very special year for Macmillan and we are looking forward to working with the team there to help them get the most out of all their efforts. Being the first company to sign up to the challenge we are hoping their enthusiasm will rub off on others."
Albert Goodman has a number of other events scheduled to support their fundraising efforts for Macmillan, including a Summer Fayre at the Taunton office, so watch this space for more information!

Albert Goodman has a team of fourteen partners who between them specialise in Audit and Accounts; Business Support Services; Business recovery and insolvency; Corporate and personal tax; Corporate and personal financial services and planning; IT infrastructure, accounting software and support; Litigation support; and Payroll bureau and VAT services.

In this series of videos, Dr. John Cacioppo, Tiffany & Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, discusses recent scientific research into the prevalence of social isolation among the 50+ population, the associated health risks, and successful ways that both individuals and communities can address the issue of isolation.
Learn more about how AARP Foundation addresses isolation.
U.S. population studies over the past 20 to 25 years have shown a dramatic increase in the number of people living alone — up to a staggering 20 percent of the population. Initial research defined isolated individuals as those who were unmarried, who had infrequent contact with friends and family, and who weren't involved with voluntary associations. Later findings, however, indicate that the more important predictor of isolation's negative health effects is whether or not a person feels isolated. It's not necessarily about being isolated; it's about feeling that you are.
Those health risks are well worth paying attention to. Perceived isolation has been linked to higher blood pressure, more susceptibility to flu and other infectious diseases, loss of impulse control (not being able to resist unhealthy foods or behaviors, for example), and earlier onset of dementia.
What to do about it? There is indeed good news among the grim statistics. Prof. Cacioppo reveals in the last of these videos that people can and do come out of crippling feelings of isolation — if they adopt the right strategies. Too many older Americans try to ignore how isolated they feel; the winning approach is to recognize those feelings as a pain signal, the body's way of saying, Do something about this! And there is much that isolated individuals and existing communities around them can do to remove that pain. It turns out that none of us is really alone in this struggle, and recognizing that fact can be the beginning of the road to a healthier, less isolated life.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Had purchased covers for 2 earlier Bose Mini speakers which fit fine. Can't say the same for this new one. Very very hard to "pull" on and the open slot on top makes it difficult to push the buttons. It does look nice on this Bose mini speaker, but wobbles a bit when placed on a counter.

I continue to be amazed at the shameful way many plants abuse—make that "kill"—their bearings. Designed and lubricated in accordance with their actual operating conditions, bearings often outlive their parent machine's usefulness. Unfortunately, there's no thrill in this scenario. So, to bring in some excitement, we overload our equipment, speed it up, run it 24/7 and forego proper maintenance. If, however, you really want to kill a bearing outright, the following modi operandi are quite effective.

Reduce Costs With This New Mobile Diesel Gen Set
Caterpillar has introduced a mobile diesel generator set to its line of towable compact products. Rated at 175 kW, the new XQ175, with a fuel-efficient Cat® C6.6 engine, offers ease of use and improved monitoring. The control panel is collocated with the distribution panel. Analog gauges are easily readable for oil pressure, engine temperature, voltage, amperage, frequency, fuel level and battery voltage. Indicators alert operators to low coolant level, low fuel level or fuel leak, low oil pressure, overspeed and emergency shutdown. According to the manufacturer, the unit's ability to switch between 480/277 V or 208/120 V 3-phase operation via a voltage changeover board, instead of a voltage selector switch, reduces components and costs, which means less 'wear and tear' or opportunity for downtime. The new XQ175 is available exclusively through Cat dealers and The Cat Rental StoreTM locations.

Next-Generation Industrial Wastewater Recycling Technologies
Water Maze has introduced its "Innovator Series" of products, next-generation automated wastewater recycling equipment that uses electro-coagulation and chemical treatment to remove emulsified oils, heavy solids and metals from a broad range of waste streams found in industrial washing applications. The four new patent-pending products are modular and can be used individually or together for a more complete filtration process. The new EC2-20A integrates electro-coagulation (an electrolytic process) and chemical flocculation to speed up the process of removing suspended solids to emulsified oils and heavy metals. The CoAg2-20A employs chemical coagulation and chemical flocculation technologies, similar to the EC2, that are designed to speed up the process of removing suspended solids and emulsified oils. The Indexing Polishing Filter (IPF), used as a pre-treatment or post treatment to another water treatment technology, employs various micron-size media paper to filter out particulates in water. The final component in the Innovator Series is the Clean Water Recycle Module, which simply manages the flow of water in and out of the system. For example, if treated water will be used with a pressure washer, the Clean Water Recycle Module serves as the holding tank to deliver water to the washer.

Current Diversion Ring Protects VFD-Controlled Motors
VFD-controlled motors inherently produce destructive shaft currents that must be redirected around the bearings. Otherwise, unmitigated electrical currents initiated by the VFD and induced by the motor shaft destroy the bearings. Inpro/Seal's Current Diversion Ring (CDRTM, patent pending) safely diverts these currents and saves the motor bearings. Available through all major motor manufacturers worldwide, as well as EASA repair facilities, the new device can be furnished either as a "press-in," a "Clip-on," a "split" configuration or an "MGS" design, which prevents contamination from entering the motor bearing enclosure while diverting destructive shaft currents.

David Cameron faced a revolt over the Leveson report today as a group of Tories demanded a free vote on the issue.
Backers of new laws claim up to 75 Conservatives would support the controversial idea, which could be enough to defeat the Prime Minister if Labour and the Liberal Democrats were united.
Downing Street has so far refused to say if a free vote will be allowed or not. The Prime Minister will tomorrow join a meeting of editors to urge them to unite behind setting up an independent regulator in the hope of making new laws unnecessary.
But Tory MP George Eustice said Mr Cameron should let MPs decide. "It would be wrong for MPs to be gagged or muzzled in a debate about free speech," he said. "This debate is about how best to protect free speech so there must be a free vote in parliament.
Fellow Tory Mike Weatherly said: "It is essential that parliament is allowed a free vote, rather than whipped through party lines, which will be seen as pushing one view."
The rebels say the newspaper industry should be given six weeks to come up with an independent regulator plan, in line with the Leveson plan. There would then be a binding vote in January on whether it was "necessary" for Parliament to pass statutory underpinning laws.
Downing Street announced that the PM will drop in on a meeting tomorrow of editors hosted by Culture Secretary Maria Miller to press his wish for the industry to take the lead urgently.Reuse content

"today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay — and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."
"I will be held accountable," Obama said. "I've got four years and … A year form now, I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's still going to be some pain out there … If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition."
If we attribute that $140 billion in stimulus to Obama and not to Bush, we find that spending under Obama grew by about $200 billion over four years, amounting to a 1.4% annualized increase.
Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
Why do people think Obama has spent like a drunken sailor? It's in part because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal budget.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."
After adjusting for inflation, spending under Obama is falling at a 1.4% annual pace — the first decline in real spending since the early 1970s, when Richard Nixon was retreating from the quagmire in Vietnam.
Obama spending binge never happened

Call me daddy: Jacko
Page Tools
Prosecutors today showed the jury in the Michael Jackson sex abuse case video tapes of his alleged young male victim praising him as a father figure.
The video was made in 2003 by Jackson's advisers to counteract the bad publicity from a sensational BBC documentary in which Jackson matter-of-factly admits that young boys spent the night in bed with him.
The documentary caused huge uproar and raised new doubts about Jackson's past involvement with children at his Neverland Ranch and previous allegations of sexual abuse.
Prosecutors today said the video proved that the family of Jackson's victim was put under duress, held hostage and forced to make the upbeat video.
The mother of the alleged victim is seen praising the singer as a generous beneficiary for her son, who was sick with cancer.
The boy himself says it was his idea to sleep in Jackson's bedroom, and had slept in the bed while Jackson slept on the floor.
The sister of the alleged victim appeared in the California court for the second time today.
The 18-year-old college student said yesterday the secretive behaviour of Jackson's advisers made her afraid.
She charged that Jackson forced her brother to drink alcohol.
Jackson's defence lawyers have portrayed the young boy, now 15-years-old, as a wild, undisciplined child who secretly stole Jackson's alcohol.
They have described the mother as a habitual trouble maker who previously launched a private suit for damages after her son was arrested for shoplifting.
In the video, the mother related how her son asked Jackson, "Can I call you daddy?" and Jackson answered, "Of course."
The boy's brother says on the video that Jackson "seemed more fatherly than like our biological father."
Jackson is accused of 10 criminal counts, including child molestation, plying a minor with alcohol and false imprisonment. If convicted, the singer could face up to 21 years in prison.

WolvesCare Hero In The Making: Spencer Meyers
Lindsey LaBelle
Web Editorial Assistant
Spencer Meyers has had a lot to overcome at 12 years old. He's dealt with leukemia, vocal cord paralysis and epilepsy, but he's more concerned about when Kevin Love will be able to play again.
Spencer was recognized as a Hero In The Making, part of the FastBreak Foundation's WolvesCare month presented by C.H. Robinson Worldwide. At every home game this month, a child persevering through a life-threatening or long-term illness will be honored on the Target Center floor and given the chance to see a Wolves game from a suite, meet their favorite players and take home some Wolves garb.
Spencer was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of four. He spent the next few years in and out of Children's Hospital with numerous complications. Now, at age 12, Spencer has vocal cord paralysis from one of the chemotherapy drugs he received and has laser surgery every year to help treat the effects.
Spencer was recently diagnosed with epilepsy – but that doesn't stop him from persevering and playing in many basketball leagues.
His mom asked him if he realized how big this honor is, and he simply beamed in the middle of the Target Center as he received a jersey of fellow point guard, Ricky Rubio.
Spencer's life has been incredibly challenging, but from the smile on his face at center court and his vigor and enthusiasm, it's clear that he doesn't let anything drag him down. It's a life lesson everyone should employ: Make the best out of each day and live with conviction. That, and never stop playing basketball.
WolvesCare month, presented by C.H. Robinson Worldwide, turns the FastBreak Foundation's attention to some of the Timberwolves' smallest fans, but those with the biggest hearts: children suffering with terminal of long-term illness. Through events at Target Center and around the community, the Foundation works to support and encourage these courageous children and their families, as well as raise awareness for some of the illnesses that impact their lives.

Power, Paint Industry's Latest Japan Recovery ConcernsBy Bill Visnic March 28, 2011
Although the notion of losing some unique automotive paint finishes seems a trivial concern in the context of the devastation and ever-present nuclear threat Japan faces in its struggle to recover from an enormous March 11 earthquake and tsunami, the inability to supply certain paint colors is symbolic of the extent and depth to which supply-chain interruptions are predicted to affect automakers everywhere.
Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC both said early this week that certain automotive finishes that require a unique pigment called Xirallic and made by German chemical giant Merck at a plant near the partially destroyed Tokyo Electric Power Co. Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant will mean limitations on U.S. orders for vehicles using certain colors. It's hard enough to sell a $60,000 Navigator in this economy, Fortunes O'Neal, general manager at Park Cities Ford in Dallas, TX, told the Associated Press. Now, We don't want to have to tell customers, 'You've got to pick another color.
The larger problem is the now-growing concern about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plants stability and reports of airborne radiation now reaching as far as the eastern U.S. Causing direct unease for Japans automakers is the real possibility that electricity will be in short supply for months to come. Tokyo Electric said today it expects a 15 percent shortage in electricity capacity this summer but the nations powerful Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry cautioned the shortage could be on the order of 25 percent.
Kilowatts And Microchips At Risk
The auto industry, always a vociferous user of electricity, now reportedly is facing months of uncertainty about the consistency of the power supply in Japan. The sporadic scheduled blackouts currently in effect may be untenable as an ongoing strategy, many automakers suggest, because electric downtime typically is multiplied by the need to suspend and restart many production processes in a controlled fashion. A 3-hour black might result in production downtime of twice that many hours or more.
The auto industry is likely to favor an agreement that could see scheduled blackouts revolved among the various makers, or better still, a system that would allow for steady supply at a controlled, reduced capacity.
Automakers also must tussle with Japans equally important electronics sector, itself a critical supplier to the auto industry, for microchip allotments. Factories that produce the microchips and other sophisticated electronic components also are dependent on a stable and consistent supply of electricity; stoppages planned or unplanned at such facilities often require even lengthier restart sequences than do auto factories.
A key report from Japan today indicated Renesas Electronics Corp., said to be the leading producer of microcontrollers for automotive applications, confirmed production is halted until July at one of its two Japan facilities producing chips for the auto industry.
Economic Fallout
With increasingly more-realistic appraisals of the disasters near-term impact on Japans auto industry, speculation will begin about the projecting the economic consequences. Already today, a report from Japan indicates Honda might delay its fourth-quarter earnings report typically presented near the end of April as the company continues to assess its position. Other Japanese makers also may begin to issue disaster-impact financial guidance.
In the likely circumstance of auto production being significantly curtailed into the Spring, industry analysts project an industry that produces upwards of 300,000 units daily could see as much as a one-third reduction in total output. Honda reportedly expects to lose 46,000 units of production in Japan through April 3 and U.S. production may also be reduced.
The AP reports Goldman Sachs as saying current shutdowns are costing Japanese automakers $200 million a day, or $1.4 billion per week. These are numbers that can cripple makers that, in a good year, record annual profits in the mid single-digit billions.
Another widely overlooked factor has been the impact on auto sales in Japan. Reports say sales in the disaster affected northeast region have plunged 40 percent and even sales in western Japan have fallen a meaningful 20 percent. For now, however, markedly lower demand may be an ironic blessing for an industry that doesnt know how or when it may normalize supply to dealer showrooms.
