I think Viet is implying that there is a general issue with the way we're setting up the root context during an ear deployment. Sitemesh highlights the issue, but the general problem exists even without Sitemesh. I think he's probably correct.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock, a darling of the tea party who's now running for the Senate, is in hot water:
Defending his stance that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape, Mourdock explained that pregnancy resulting from nonconsensual sex is the will of God. "I've struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God," Mourdock said. "And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
Mourdock is getting beat up pretty bad for this, and I think that's just fine. At the same time, can't we all acknowledge that this is just conventional Christian theology? Theodicy is the study of why an omnipotent God permits the existence of evil, and while the term is of fairly recent vintage, Christians and Jews have struggled with the question itself pretty much since the time they decided God was omnipotent. See Job, Book of, for more. Or, if you want to check out something that was more likely to influence Mourdock directly, take a look at the recent mega-bestseller The Shack, which engages with almost precisely the question that Mourdock has struggled with.
What I find occasionally odd is that so many conventional bits of theology like this are so controversial if someone actually mentions them in public. God permits evil. My faith is the only true one. People of other faiths are doomed to spend eternity in Hell. Etc. There's a lot of stuff like this which is either explicit or implied in sects of all kinds, and at an abstract level we all know it. Somehow, though, when someone actually says it, it's like they farted in church. Weird.

The Klipsch KMC 3 is a portable Bluetooth speaker with larger-than-average driver units designed to give it a much more powerful sound than your average wireless speaker.
It knows how to slam, but at £350, we're not convinced the KMC 3 gets you good enough sound for the price.
Klipsch KMC 3 not for you? Check out our round up of the best portable Bluetooth speakers
The Klipsch KMC 3 is a wireless Bluetooth speaker that is large enough to be considered an 'at-home' unit, but has a few nods to portability to make it easy to lug around.
There's a carry handle in its top, its plastic body is heavy at 3kg and there's a battery compartment on its bottom. You'll need to raid your local electronics shop to power the thing, however, as it needs eight D batteries. We'd much rather have seen a rechargeable battery used in the KMC 3 – as seen in rivals like the Arcam rCube.
The downside of Klipsch's half-hearted dedication to portability is that the KMC 3 doesn't really feel like a speaker you'd be proud to have as a centrepiece in the living room. At £349, we think something like the Philips Fidelio DS9000/DS9010 looks and feels classier.
There are some nice design tweaks to the KMC 3, though. There's a rubberised panel by the carry handle that's intended to act as a place to stash your phone or iPod while streaming from it, the back has a USB port to let you charge your mobile device at the same time, and the front is covered by a fairly tough metal grille.
The rear of the Klipsch KMC 3 also features a 3.5mm jack socket, to let you plug in non-wireless sources. As a Bluetooth speaker, you'll mostly control the KMC 3 from your phone or tablet, but there are a few buttons on its top – touch-sensitive panels to let you switch the speaker on and off, and control the volume.
The Klipsch KMC 3 is a little adolescent in its approach to a wireless speaker. Its shape and handle make it the modern day equivalent of a ghetto blaster, and it has the driver array to match.
It has an unusually large 5.25-inch subwoofer and two 2-inch drivers that handle the mid-range and treble. The Klipsch KMC 3 sound is typical of a setup that prioritises bass – the low-end is a little inflated and isn't entirely well-controlled.
The bass is immensely big, deep and beefy when you crank the volume up, and we don't doubt that people like big bass. Sub-bass performance too beats most of the competition.
However, it is unbalancing and does seem at odds with the relatively high price. The bass would come in handy for outdoors listening – open spaces tends to make bass dissipate – but that just makes us wish the KMC 3 had a battery built-in. Again, this is something that feels like it could have been included at the price.
Treble clarity and the rest of the sound's balance is decent, but there's not quite the level of fine detail you'd hear in a speaker of this grade with a decent dedicated tweeter or two. However, it does offer apt-X support – a higher-quality Bluetooth audio codec that more-or-less fixes the quality degradation of Bluetooth streaming.
To distil the situation to a sentence, the Klipsch KMC 3 is a great party speaker, but not one we'd necessarily pick at the price for everyday listening.
The Klipsch KMC 3 also comes in black
The Klipsch KMC 3 is one of the more powerful-sounding wireless speakers at the price. A 5.25-inch subwoofer ensures it can pounds out beats more authoritatively than much of the competition. However, we're not convinced its sound and feature array is worth the £350 asking price. Shave £100-150 off and we'd be much more convinced.
Without Wi-Fi, an integrated battery or particularly impressive audio fidelity, it's clear that Klipsch is happy to charge what it thinks people will pay for a speaker like this. Cynicisim aside, though, if big, deep bass if just what you're after, the Klipsch KMC 3 has it.
The Klipsch KMC 3 offers more pounding, deeper bass than the vast majority of its wireless rivals. It's simply a much more expensive option.

Can you review the Bose Soundlink mini bluetooth portable speaker please?
Wow! these luks really cool however the price doesn't when there are other cheaper & better alternates in the market. I recently bought the Bitmore e-Wave STEREO Bluetooth Wireless Water-Resistant Portable Speaker for just £90 ($145) from their website. It has a really cool design, amazing features, awesome sound quality, ultra portable and water-resistant too. Another cool feature which i havent seen in any other portable speakers is microSD card support....so the speakers itself wud act as a MP3 player. Needless to say.....design wise its has won a reddot design award too....Just luv it!
After tonnes of research I bought this speaker due to all the people flipping out online (even though it was far more than I was looking to spend). All that I can say is, what a great decision, believe the hype!! Truly incredible in terms of power, clarity, authority, dynamics, bass response, pure audio bliss!! This unit has way too much bass, which is a great thing, because it allows you to EQ out however much you desire instead of trying to use EQ to add bass into the sound, which is far less effective. The power on offer is simply unbelievable... the crisp, rich output will leave you breathless. Pictures also do the aesthetics of the unit no justice, in real life it is sleek and clearly very high quality in terms of it's solidity and lovely soft touch plastics. The packaging it comes in also doubles as a carrying case - nice! Stop searching, get this speaker, there is nothing that TOUCHES it in terms of value for money or sonic brilliance. Invite some friends around, open up your iTunes and watch the jaws hit the floor!
I wholeheartedly agree!! This speaker has no match anywhere. Even at the price, the KMC-3 is a good deal. I have wireless speakers from Jawbone and Bose that cost a little less than the Klipsch but don't come close to the soundstage, bass or extension. Coldn't recommend it any higher.

Seeing that my best nine photos of my IG account are all from Sydney, I can't help but wonder - am I giving this city too little credit? I guess going there on business really changes how you perceive the city. Sydney's dining scene gets better every time. You can tell some of these places showed up more than once in my IG feed. Disclaimer: I rarely return to the same restaurants unless they were really good and I couldn't get them off my mind. So, you get the gist :)

Trip to Middle Earth (aka New Zealand) - South Island
Continuing on my post on New Zealand, focusing on the South Island this time~ As everyone else who has been to NZ will tell you, South Island is worth more of your time.
Trip to Middle-Earth (aka New Zealand) - North Island
It's been over 2 years since I returned from New Zealand so why bother talking about it now. Well, my baby brother told me he wants to go there with his girlfriend after Easter 2017. You have no idea how worried my mom and I have been since he dropped the news! According to my brother, New Zealand went from a "10" to an "8" every time he comes and asks me for trip tips. (My mom never felt that way about me traveling and I am planning a trip to the Middle East... LOL)

Another year, another crab season. Did you know the Matsuba Crab is only available from November to March every year? I had an unforgettable experience at Nishimuraya Honkan in Kinosaki. It was a splurge but it is worth every penny! We were definitely spoiled by the food and the hospitality.

Chapter 2Mature
"Abrielle? Why aren't you listening to me?" I looked at the girl in front of me impatiently. Her open features were distorted in a scowl and her golden brown hair bobbed on her head as she shook it in exasperation. My ears were attacked by the shrill tune of the telephone so I hastily picked it up.
"Happily Ever After Books, how may I help you?" I asked, my voice thick with a pleasant and helpful tone that never otherwise came from my mouth.
"Excuse me, but do you have Twilight?" A young, whiny voice asked me. I tried not to sigh or scream.
"Yes we do. Are you interested in buying it?"
"Yes please."
"We'll keep it back for you. You can come and pick it up whenever you like during shop hours."
"Thank you."
"Good bye." I put the phone down and slammed my head down on the counter in front of me. Kayleigh tilted her head.
"Twilight again?" I made some sort of noise in acknowledgement.
"You'd think that everyone had read it already! Are there no other books in the world?" I marvelled. She angrily shook her head.
"People should be reading Hemmingway or Wilde..."
"Or maybe Jodi Picoult or Phillipa Gregory like normal people?"
"Shut up."
"No can do." We both turned when we heard the bell of the door. I beamed when I saw who had entered. "Looking for a book?" I asked. Elijah laughed.
"Do you usually pounce on customers as they walk in the door?" He said, his mouth twitching with a smile.
"Oh no, only the chivalrous ones. And business is slow" I shrugged. "I get bored easily." He smiled.
"Well can you take a break from your busy schedule? I'm here to entertain you with conversation and coffee." I fake swooned.
"My two favourite words. I'm yours." I said, throwing my keys at Kayleigh. "Look after the shop?" I rhetorically asked, waving absent-mindedly as I left through the door that Elijah held open for me.
"A friend?" He asked, motioning towards Kayleigh.
"We've been best friends since secondary school. She works in my shop in the holidays, and I'm pretty much paying her to keep me company and chat." I told him, laughing.
"Do you go to school?"
"Yes, but I also have to run the shop."
"Interesting." He said as we got to the cafe. He opened the door for me again, and I smiled and chose a table in a corner where we wouldn't be disturbed. "Do you know what you want?" He asked me.
"A latte, please." I said, opening my bag. He shook his head.
"No, I'll pay." He said before going up to the till to pay. While he was gone, I took in my surroundings. The warm orange colour of the room made the room seem darker and hotter than it really was. I closed my eyes and inhaled the rich, sultry smell of the coffee. Despite the constant whirring and banging, the room was calming and relaxing.
I opened my eyes just as Elijah came back from the counter. I smiled at him as he sat down. I leant forwards and clasped my hands in front of me.
"So, you promised conversation?" I said jokingly. He leant back in his chair and the waitress brought our drinks.
"Tell me about yourself." I sighed.
"Well, there's not much to know, really. My last name is Schuyler, which is Dutch although my mother was French Canadian and my father was English."
"Was?" He asked quietly.
"They died 3 years ago. My absentee aunt is supposed to look after me, but when I turned 16 she decided that I could cope on my own. So, I was left with a big house and a shop to look after, whilst studying for my GCSE's, and now A Levels.
"It must be hard." He said, sympathetically and sincerely. I smiled.
"I'll live. Money's a little tight, but I try to make the best of it. I'm looking for a lodger but people only come down here for a holiday, not to live." I told him. He sat forwards in his seat.
"I was actually looking for a place to stay." He said making invisible patterns on the table with his hand. "Perhaps you could lease the spare room to me?" He asked. My heart did a little jump in my chest and I raised my eyebrows.
"Well it's your turn to talk about yourself. Then, I will make my decision." I told him, an amused expression gracing my face.
"Of course." He said, smiling. "I have 6 brothers and sisters. I used to live in London with them... and there's not much else to say." He looked at me.
"How old are you?" I prompted. A strange expression flew across his face, too quickly for me to catch it and recognise it.
"I am 25." He told me.
"Well, I believe that you are welcome to stay in my house, Elijah." I said, grinning. He raised his tea in acknowledgement.
"Thank you, Miss. Schuyler." He replied and I laughed. As I finished my drink, I could feel his eyes studying me as if I were a painting that he was trying to understand and memorise.
"What is your favourite subject in school, Abrielle?" He asked me. I smiled.
"History." I told him. He smiled.
"A lover of history?" He asked.
"Only the older history, not anything past the 1900's. It fascinates me."
"And ancient history?"
"Of course; it shaped our modern politics and many aspects of everyday life." I told him, looking into his beautiful, dark eyes. I blinked a little, and broke the connection. "Do you want my number? SO that we can arrange when you are to move in?" I asked him. He nodded and I took a piece of paper from the notebook in my bag and jotted it down then passed it to him.
"I will call you soon." He told me as we stood up. "Would you like me to walk you back to your shop?" He asked. I shook my head, and smiled.
"No thank you. I will be fine."
"Good bye, Abrielle."
"Good bye... Elijah." I watched him as he walked into the sunlight.
When I got back to the shop, the first thing that Kayleigh said to me was,
"Who on Earth was that!?"

'12 Years a Slave, 'American Hustle' take top Golden Globes
By Mary Milliken
BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - The film "12 Years a Slave" took the coveted Golden Globe for best drama and "American Hustle" won best musical or comedy on Sunday in a kick-off to the Hollywood awards season that foreshadows a wide scattering of honors for a year crowded with high-quality movies.
Only two films garnered more than one award at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, an important but not entirely accurate barometer for the industry's highest honors, the Academy Awards to be held on March 2.
"American Hustle," a romp through corruption in the 1970s directed by David O. Russell, was the top winner with three Globes for its seven nominations, while modest AIDS film "Dallas Buyers Club" starring Matthew McConaughey, took home two acting awards for him and co-star Jared Leto.
British director Steve McQueen's brutal depiction of pre-Civil war American slavery in "12 Years a Slave," based on a true story of free black man Solomon Northup who was sold into slavery, only won one award out of its seven nominations. It was entirely shut out from the acting honors, for which it had been a presumed favorite.
But best drama is the top award of the Golden Globes and McQueen thanked actor and producer Brad Pitt, who played a small part in the film but a big role in getting it made. "Without you this movie would never had gotten made, so thank you, wherever you may be," McQueen said.
Among those that left empty-handed were two darlings of critics, the Coen brothers' paean to the 1960s folk scene "Inside Llewyn Davis" and Alexander Payne's homage to the heartland, "Nebraska."
The first big night of the Hollywood awards season is the purview of the 90 some journalists in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), who wield outsized clout in the awards race as buzz around these honors influences members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in their voting for the Oscars.
Oscar nominations are to be announced on Thursday and "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" are likely to be in the list of 10 nominees for best picture, going head-to-head unlike in the Globes, where they competed in two separate categories. Continued...

'Courage is the first of the human qualities, because it is the one that guarantees all others," said the Greek philosopher Aristotle. And it's true, especially when it comes to creativity and innovation.
And following an intuitive hit this morning, I was reviewing how I could do more for my clients to help them access the powerful place where synergy of the analytical mind and creative senses could sponsor creativity and innovation in themselves and those around them. My Genius Mind led me to this article.
Courage is key to empower the genius that is within yourself; to be free from the fear of what others may think; from worry of getting it "wrong." Courage to develop and unleash your creative potential. There exists a practice that supports you in accessing your highest energy level so you can free both your passion and expertise - inspiring innovation and co-creating what didn't exist before.
Conscious leadership is creative leadership.

The Court of King Rhys
'Luke! Hurry up or you won't have time to eat before we go to the castle!' shouted Jorzen. At the sound of a clattering on the stairs, he turned and smiled at Leanna. 'Knew that would get him moving.'
Luke burst into the kitchen, his hair an unruly tangle on his head. Attired in a red tunic, black trousers and boots, and a navy blue cape, he looked every inch the young noble.
Jorzen pulled a comb out of his pocket and proceeded to attack the mess that was Luke's hair, ignoring his winces. Meanwhile, Leanna passed him a roll filled with sheep's cheese. Luke started eating the quick breakfast as Jorzen burrowed in the bottom of a large chest.
'What are you looking for?' asked Luke.
Jorzen pulled a longsword, with its scabbard and belt, out of the chest.
'This.' he replied, buckling it round Luke's waist. 'You'll need it, besides you can't go not looking the part.'
Luke finished eating and brushed the crumbs off his clothes. Jorzen quickly kissed Leanna goodbye, before striding out through the door, Luke hurrying after him. Ahead of them rose the imperious facade of Kardith Castle. Jorzen introduced himself to the guards at the gate, before they were escorted to a sumptuously furnished antechamber, where several others were also waiting.
'Jorzen!' shouted an unshaven, bald, hulking man. 'What piece of trash are you bringing in today then?' Several of the people standing around chuckled. Jorzen was about to deliver a scathing reply, when a steward entered from the other side to the one they had entered from.
'The King is ready to see you all now.' he announced.

I REFER to the letter headlined, 'Late-night noise permit not checked properly' (South China Morning Post, December 5), in which your reader expressed concern over noise from roadworks at Percival Street.
The construction noise permit system is designed to protect the public from noise disturbance due to construction activities carried out during the restricted hours, that is, 7pm to 7am on weekdays and at any time on general holidays. Contractors have to comply with stringent noise criteria before a permit is issued for using powered mechanical equipment to carry out construction work during that period.
However, for road maintenance and resurfacing at major traffic routes and some utility work, short-term permits are issued for such work to be carried out during restricted hours even if the noise exceeds the criteria. This is to avoid causing serious public inconvenience in the daytime. Under such circumstances, the quietest practicable working methods and equipment have to be employed. Further conditions would normally be imposed to restrict the noisy road-breaking process so it is not carried out after 11pm.
Police respond promptly to complaints and check if there is a permit and whether the permit conditions are complied with.
For the roadworks at Percival Street, a permit was issued for carrying out road resurfacing during restricted hours. Operation of the pneumatic breaker and air compressor was restricted to before 10pm.
Other machinery essential to the work, such as paver and dump truck, were allowed to be used in phases as the work progressed along different sections of the road. According to our investigation, the resurfacing work lasted for three nights over the main stretch of Percival Street between Hennessy Road and Leighton Road. The work was completed on November 30. In response to the complaints, the police investigated the case and no breach of permit conditions was observed.
To enhance the control on construction noise during restricted hours, spot-checks are conducted by staff of our department. Meanwhile we will strengthen our liaison with the police to ensure action will be taken if there is a violation of the ordinance.

I'd come across the site before I'd seen it advertised on this site but seeing on here made me look at it again and I had a deeper look around the site this time and the instructors seem quite accomplished and the lessons themselves look good also.
The only thing is that I can't really find any feedback on it, is that 'cos it's new? Anyone know anything of it or if it's worth it?
EDIT: Woops sorry didn't see there was a dedicated section to online courses!

Robbery spree covers three counties
A masked man has captured the attention of police, not just because of the number of armed robberies he has committed - 15 so far, all in the past month - but the unusual geographical breadth of his hits.
He has covered eight police jurisdictions in three counties, hitting gas stations and liquor stores near freeways and highways in the greater Milwaukee area. And he's not working alone; after the robberies, he jumps into the passenger seat of a getaway vehicle.
"What is kind of unique here is the fact that it's spread out in such a wide range of jurisdictions, from Ozaukee to Waukesha County, Milwaukee County," Milwaukee police Lt. Kenneth Grams said Monday. "So that's fairly . . . I'm not going to say unique, but that's not real common."
The man started his armed robbery spree just before 10 p.m. Aug. 18 at the S&M Petro Mart on Stevenson St. in Milwaukee.
Since then, the man has committed 14 more nighttime robberies, police said. All the stores are within a mile of major highways, and all the robberies except one occurred between 8 and 11 p.m. Three of the robberies were repeats at stores he previously had hit, Grams said.
"He's committing one offense and if he's really not getting what he wants in terms of money, he's going to a different location," Grams said.
Usman Javaid was working as a clerk at the S&M Petro Mart store along with owner Mian Shahnawaz when the armed robber hit the store for the second time, on Sept. 7 at 9:45 p.m. This time, the owner was ready with a baseball bat.
"Everything just happened in two or three seconds, so quick," Javaid recalled. "I was doing paperwork and the owner was behind me. He (the robber) came, he had the mask on. He said, 'Give me the money.' The owner said to the robber, 'Hold on, do nothing, he will give you the money.' (The owner) grabbed the bat and he saw (the robber) grabbing the gun. Then he ran. The owner chased him."
The clerk said he heard what sounded like one gunshot outside.
The gunman had fired one round at Shahnawaz, who saw the man enter the passenger door of a waiting getaway vehicle, Grams said.
Police said the suspect sometimes becomes very agitated as he asks for money and has forced employees to the ground. Police are concerned that the man's reactions will escalate.
"Use extreme caution," Grams warned. "This is a real firearm. We know that because on at least one occasion he discharged the revolver. So we want to use caution for the citizen witnesses who may observe future events."
Police have promised a "substantial reward" for information.
According to Grams:
At each robbery, the suspect has worn a full-face ski mask, usually black. He has asked for money as he displays a gun in his right hand, typically a black steel handgun or a silver revolver. If the man gets no money, he demands cigarettes. He may be a drug or alcohol user.
He is described as white, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7, 140 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He usually wears a hooded sweatshirt that's either dark in color, or marked "Green Bay Packers." He usually wears blue jeans with white tennis shoes and sometimes gloves and a baseball cap. At the S&M Petro Mart robbery, he wore a light green and white baseball cap with a logo and red bandanna covering his neck.
He has been seen getting into the passenger side of a dark or burgundy four-door vehicle, possibly a 1990s Chevy Caprice or another "boxy" vehicle or dark-colored pickup truck with a cap.
Because of the robberies, police are keeping a closer eye on gas stations and convenience stores, Grams said.
As for Javaid, he said he's not afraid that the robber will come back.
"He can, but what's he going to do? Shoot me, or he could just grab the money. Nothing else he's going to do," he said. "One day I'm going to die, right? So it doesn't really matter."
Police are asking anyone with information to call Milwaukee police at (414) 935-7411 or (414) 935-7360 or their local police department. Grams said police are particularly interested in obtaining the license plate number on the suspect's vehicle.

Hi..... choose complex carbohydrates, which are high in fiber. The more fiber in a food, the more slowly it's digested and the more slowly your blood sugar levels rise.... Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better....

Little Richard
Heavily steeped in gospel music while growing up in Georgia, when Little Richard began recording in the early '50s he played unexceptional jump blues/R&B that owed a lot to his early inspirations Billy Wright and Roy Brown. In 1955, at Lloyd Price's suggestion, Richard sent a demo tape to Specialty Records, who were impressed enough to sign him and arrange a session for him in New Orleans. That session, however, didn't get off the ground until Richard began fooling around with a slightly obscene ditty during a break. With slightly cleaned-up lyrics, "Tutti Frutti" was the record that gave birth to Little Richard as he is now known -- the gleeful "woo!"s, the furious piano playing, the sax-driven, pedal-to-the-metal rhythm section. It was also his first hit, although, ridiculous as it now seems, Pat Boone's cover version outdid Richard's on the hit parade.
Boone would also try to cover Richard's next hit, "Long Tall Sally," but by that time it was evident that audiences black and white much preferred the real deal. In 1956 and 1957, Richard reeled off a string of classic hits -- "Long Tall Sally," "Slippin' and "Slidin'," "Jenny, Jenny," "Keep a Knockin'," "Good Golly, Miss Molly," "The Girl Can't Help It" -- that remain the foundation of his fame. While Richard's inimitable mania was the key to his best records, he also owed a lot of his success to the gutsy playing of ace New Orleans session players like Lee Allen (tenor sax), Alvin Tyler (baritone sax), and especially Earl Palmer (drummer), who usually accompanied the singer in both New Orleans and Los Angeles studios. Richard's unforgettable appearances in early rock & roll movies, especially The Girl Can't Help It, also did a lot to spread the rock & roll gospel to the masses.
Richard was at the height of his commercial and artistic powers when he suddenly quit the business during an Australian tour in late 1957, enrolling in a Bible college in Alabama shortly after returning to the States. Richard had actually been feeling the call of religion for a while before his announcement, but it was nonetheless a shock to both his fans and the music industry. Specialty drew on unreleased sessions for a few more hard-rocking singles in the late '50s, but Richard virtually vanished from the public eye for a few years. When he did return to recording, it was as a gospel singer, cutting a few little-heard sacred sides for End, Mercury, and Atlantic in the early '60s.
By 1962, though, Richard had returned to rock & roll, touring Britain to an enthusiastic reception. Among the groups that supported him on those jaunts were the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, whose vocals (Paul McCartney's especially) took a lot of inspiration from Richard's. In 1964, the Beatles cut a knockout version of "Long Tall Sally," with McCartney on lead, that may have even outdone the original. It's been speculated that the success of the Beatles, and other British Invaders who idolized Richard, finally prompted the singer into making a full-scale comeback as an unapologetic rock & roller. Hooking up with Specialty once again, he had a small hit in 1964 with "Bama Lama Bama Loo." These and other sides were respectable efforts in the mold of his classic '50s sides, but tastes had changed too much for Richard to climb the charts again. He spent the rest of the '60s in a continual unsuccessful comeback, recording for Vee-Jay (accompanied on some sides by Jimi Hendrix, who was briefly in Richard's band), OKeh, and Modern (for whom he even tried recording in Memphis with Stax session musicians).
It was the rock & roll revival of the late '60s and early '70s, though, that really saved Richard's career, enabling him to play on the nostalgia circuit with great success (though he had a small hit, "Freedom Blues," in 1970). He had always been a flamboyant performer, brandishing a six-inch pompadour and mascara, and constant entertaining appearances on television talk shows seemed to ensure his continuing success as a living legend. Yet by the late '70s, he'd returned to the church again. Somewhat predictably, he eased back into rock and show business by the mid-'80s. Since then, he's maintained his profile with a role in Down and Out in Beverly Hills (the movie's soundtrack also returned him to the charts, this time with "Great Gosh a-Mighty") and guest appearances on soundtracks, compilations, and children's rock records. At this point it's safe to assume that he never will get that much-hungered-for comeback hit, but he remains one of rock & roll's most colorful icons, still capable of turning on the charm and charisma in his infrequent appearances in the limelight. ~ Richie Unterberger

A tall plume of white hot steam which towered above Mt Tongariro today sparked calls to GeoNet "seeking reassurance" the volcano was not on the verge of eruption.
The steam could be seen for miles against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, but GeoNet volcanologist Brad Scott said there was no cause for concern.
"Basically, we're experiencing an awesome day," he said.
"It's calm, it's clear, the steam plume from Tongariro, or Te Maari crater, is standing up beautifully above the mountain. Anybody and everybody that's outside can see it."
While he admitted it was a situation "we haven't had in a while", it was a solely weather-related phenomenon, he said.
The crater had been "steaming away happily since August 2012" when Tongariro erupted, but the steam is not usually so visible because of cloud or wind.
"It's really quite calm [today] which is allowing the steam plume to stand up, and of course being winter and cool there is steam to be seen because of condensation. It's an atmospheric effect."
Normally, wind would "blow the steam plume over", dispersing the visual effect seen today.
The steam plume had resulted in several calls, he said, describing callers as "seeking reassurance", rather than worried.
However, there was no danger.
The steam is caused by hot molten material which sparked the 2012 eruption by coming very close to the surface. The hot volcanic gas within the magma was issuing out of a crater as the rock cools, he explained.
"Because there's insulation in the ground around it, it's very hot, and it takes a long time to cool down," Mr Scott said.
"The new bodies of hot rock don't cool down within a few weeks or days, it's years."
Mr Scott said the gases would separate from the rock -- a process called exsolving -- over years as the rocks cool.
The last time the GeoNet team visited the site they recorded temperatures of exceeding 400C, he said.

In a sense, the [2004-05] North Carolina championship season actually began on a dismal January night in 2004 when a little-used walk-on named Philip McLamb finally had enough. It was his senior season and the team he had broken his ass to make had been suffering more mood swings than the typical cast of MTV's Real World. The nadir arrived on January 22, when Carolina blew a 24-point lead, finished regulation tied because of last-second three by Todd Galloway, and then lost ingloriously in overtime. To put it kindly, the UNC defense might as well have been a highway crew opening up new driving lanes. Florida State attacked the basket with impunity.
Suffering through the game on the bench, where he spent the vast majority of every game, had been McLamb. A rugged six feet six, he possessed a deft touch from three, which he had plenty of opportunity to display in practice--"the walk-on's time to shine," he said--and at Woollen Gym during campus pick-up games. Just not in the real games. Because McLamb was a step or two slow. But he hustled. He played as hard as man who never played could play.
"I was born and bred a Tar Heel," McLamb said, a Charlotte native. "My mom says I was born with baby blue on my butt." Both of his parents had attended UNC. He idolized Dean Smith. And he hated Duke the way only a homegrown North Carolina boy can. His glory moments against the Blue Devils came as he shot during warm-ups at Cameron. "For some reason,' McLamb said, "maybe because it's like an old high school gym, I can really shoot over there." If he shot well in warm-ups, he believed it an omen foretelling a Carolina victory. "It's like you would do when you were shooting in your backyard," he said. "If I make this, Carolina wins the national championship this year."
So after Florida State caught and passed the Heels in overtime that February night, McLamb, who hadn't played a speck, was furious. His sense of history argued against what had just befallen the team. Carolina was supposed to make the miraculous comebacks, not endure them. "I was just put out," he said, looking back at the disaster. "I knew that some of the guys were, too. I was saying, 'We've got to do something. We can't sit back.' What really got me the most was how some of the guys at the back of the bus on the way to the airport were just blatantly blaming other people. I'm five or six seats ahead of them, so I knew everybody else could hear them."
To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever:
A Thoroughly Obsessive, Intermittently Uplifting, and Occasionally Unbiased Account of the Duke-North Carolina Basketball Rivalry
On the plane back to Raleigh-Durham, a couple of players told McLamb that they didn't think speaking up would accomplish anything. "But I really thought we needed to do something." So at two-thirty or three in the morning, when the team had finally made it to the locker room at the Smith Center and started unloading their bags, McLamb stood up and said, "Listen, we're going to have a meeting tomorrow night. I'm not dealing with this. We've got to talk things over."
Sitting next to Raymond Felton, Sean May agreed. He said, "Yeah, we need to do something. All right, seven o'clock tomorrow after practice."
The next night after practice, "everybody was just sort of sitting there," McLamb said. "I called the meeting, so I figured I should be the one talking."
With his teammates staring at him, McLamb said, "I shouldn't have to be the one to say this. I'm a walk-on. I don't play. Y'all probably won't even respond to what I say as much as if it was Sean or Rashad or Jawad saying it, since they play. But we've got to get things off our chests. We've got to start playing better basketball. We can't go through the rest of the year like this. We've got to trust each other. And if we're going to be a family--everybody talks about the Carolina family--families don't talk behind each other's backs!"
McLamb looked around the locker room. "Families talk face to face," he said. "I know some of y'all have things to say. Just be a man and say them."
He was finished. The room grew silent.
There was something thrillingly self-confident about McLamb at this moment. Righteousness flowed through him like electricity. This was his time. Not on the court but in the locker room. Unlike most of his teammates, he embodied no great talent. Only two Division III schools had sought his services after he averaged 18 points and eight rebounds as a senior in Charlotte. But desire he had, desire and ferocity.
He showed this in Woollen Gym, the venerable courts on campus where anybody could put together a team for a run, often against top-flight competition. One day there, he had managed to insinuate himself onto the team of former Tar Heel point guard Ed Cota. As was his custom, Cota would drive the middle of the lane, and he soon discovered that he could sling a pass out to McLamb, lurking behind the three point line. And that McLamb would knock the threes down, again and again. Cota started calling him "Big." McLamb confessed to the point guard that he was going to try out for the JV team. "You'll make it, Big," Cota told him.
And how had he made it? He had hauled himself on board the JV team like a man scrambling into a lifeboat from frigid waters. He had no other explanation than "I simply wanted it more than anyone else." And he had secured a spot on the varsity the same way. So like anyone whose success, limited though it might be, was achieved through devotion rather than talent, McLamb lacked patience for players who had been blessed with everything he lacked--speed, quickness, jumping ability--but whom quarreled and bickered and took plays off and didn't seem to realize how blessed they had been.
So that night after the Florida State game, McLamb had spoken with the moral authority of an honest man and now he waited for a response. "I knew somebody would start talking," he said. And eventually somebody did. And then somebody else. Guys bickered. Guys attacked one another. Then things calmed down a little bit and the forward David Noel spoke. He said "some of you have to stop thinking about going to the League. You're still in college. You play for North Carolina. Let's win games."
Jackie Manuel chimed in. He said, "it's hard to make eight or nine three pointers in a game. It's hard to shoot a hundred percent on your free throws or from the field. But it's not hard to play hard."
"That's Jackie's motto," McLamb explained. "He plays so incredibly hard."
Manuel continued his speech. "I've done what the coaches told me. I've played as hard as I can on defense and I've tried to be smart on offense. We can win games. We could've won every game we played this year. Coach told us we could have."
After that night, the team slowly improved. According to McLamb, they began executing Roy Williams' system, not simply believing in it. They still had their lapses, but they didn't embarrass themselves the way they had at Florida State or at Clemson, when they were thoroughly whipped in an eleven point loss. They made it back to the NCAAs for the first time since 2001. "I thought the second half against Air Force was the best we played all year," McLamb said of their first round opponent in Denver. "Guys didn't hesitate to get down on the floor. Before that we might get down on the floor but the guy from the other team would get there first. By a quarter second. That can make the difference in a game."
After North Carolina lost to Texas in the second round of the NCAAs, McLamb's career on the Tar Heel bench was over. He had the time to play golf, and he was playing with a friend of Duke on the day a couple of weeks later that the Blue Devils were scheduled to take on Connecticut in the semi-finals of the Final Four. His friend invited McLamb over to watch the game with a group of Duke fans, thirty or forty of them. "Most of his friends didn't know I had been on the team at Carolina," McLamb said. "And as Connecticut started coming back, I was just sitting there, sort of quiet. It was a great game and I was really enjoying it. And then seeing Duke lose, man!" He was overjoyed. He tried to contain himself. The Duke guys who knew his allegiance kept saying, "We know you're so happy." And indeed, McLamb felt good enough that he had to go outside and call friends and family on his cell phone and quietly chortle. Duke had lost. That may not have been as good as a Tar Heel victory, but as most North Carolinians knew, it was pretty damned close.
The walk-on made a prophecy about North Carolina in the months to come. It was a short speech this time, but a sweet one. "You'll have mental lapses in every game," he said. "But this coming season, I think they will be more than taken care of. I think it may be an amazing season."

Insurers seeking yield are exploring new investment options. One of these is syndicated loans, which can provide an attractive alternative, as Robert Wagstaff and Aidan Canny from BNY Mellon told Intelligent Insurer.
Traditionally, insurers have been substantial holders of assetbacked securities (ABS) and other forms of securitisation. Since the financial crisis, however, their appetite for investing in this asset class has deteriorated significantly.
This is, in part, due to nervousness about these types of deals after some—mainly backed by sub-prime mortgages—defaulted during the economic downturn. A stigma has been attached to this asset class ever since, which has also led to new regulatory reforms such as Solvency II.
Solvency II narrows the scope of what insurers can be comfortable investing in even further. It forces them to hold more capital than previously against certain asset types. In effect, the whole investment horizon has changed for insurers, according to Aidan Canny, managing director of structured product services at BNY Mellon.

Travel to Ol'sima
Lyred Drillast
The powerful noon sun was burning my skin as I stood in the middle of a poorly drawn square in the ground. Many bystanders had conglomerated around the field, cheering for their favourite swordsmen. I hold my sword tightly, in fear that if I let go, my dream of becoming a dragon rider will end here.
"....6....7....8.....9....10..... OUT!" the host of the duels announced to the general public, he was recently bend down upon my wasted opponent, lying on the ground, without an ounce of energy left on him. The announcer then sauntered toward me and lifted my sword-less arm, "we've got a winner!"
The crowd cheered.
I let go a sigh of relief, happy to have ended the tiresome dueling I was exposed since early in the morning. I smiled brightly and thanked the supreme powers- if any- for bestowing on me enough energy to finish off my opponents. The entire morning I had been fighting in a tournament organized by an old fencing teacher. It wasn't the glory and bragging rights I was after, but the reward: 20 gold coins.
For nearly three years I've been working hard to gather the 50 gold coins necessary to allow me to be part of the "Rider's mark" ritual. Deep inside me I knew I was more than a peasant boy, I was destined to be much more, I dreamed of being a Dragon Rider.
The host of the tournament, Dryn, pushed a sac heavy with clattering gold coins into my hands. His graying hairs and warm dark eyes flashed pride as he embraced me, congratulating me for my hard effort.
I sheathed my sword, inherited from my deceased father and thanked Dryn.
"You deserved it, Lyred," Dryn said, "go pursue your dreams of being a dragon rider. I am sure you have a rider's heart. How much are you missing?"
I gave him a sheepish and grim smile, "I'm missing 5 gold coins and the Council meets tomorrow at Ol'sima..." my voice drifted, "I guess I can wait for the next ritual, I am still young..."
"Nonsense!" Dryn interjected, "your dreams cannot be delayed five years more!" Dryn was a paternal figure to me, after all, he was the one who taught me to sword fight and my current warring skills. He turned to the crowd, his hands on his hips, "I have a boy here, who happens to be the winner of this tournament, he has been working hard to gather 50 gold coins. He is but 5 gold coins away from his dreams, becoming a rider..."
Murmurs rise in the crowd, many of them were accompanied with disapproving and hopeless glances. After the fee was imposed, many farmers and peasants children abandoned their dreams of becoming riders. But I did not, the desire was burning strongly inside me.
"You are better off if you stay with the gold coins!" a gruff shout was heard louder than the rest of the commotion. The crowd parted, allowing me a full view of the owner of the voice, it was the village butcher, Thorx. He was a burly and sturdy man, very muscular, with a stern expression and eyebrows knitted together somewhere between a frown and a smirk. He had a longsword shouldered, and walked forward to meet Drygin and me in the dueling arena.
"You will never become a dragon rider," he continued, "save your money, your chances of becoming one are slim." He let out a laugh, some people from the crowd also laughed.
This irritated me, "you will see, I will become the greatest dragon rider!" I shouted.
"Riders are proficient and skilled in battle," Thorx scoffed, "your opponents were too weak and were easy to take down."
"I can take down anybody, anywhere, anytime," I said through clenched teeth.
"Prove it," he said in a low and dangerous tone. "If you win I will give you the gold coins you are missing."
I shoved the sac into Dryn's arms and beckoned him to walk away from the duel arena, my hand closed on my sword's tilt once again and unsheathed it slowly and stealthily.
Thorx lost no time and charged at me, in a quick movement his longsword was unsheathed and lunged at me. I jumped back, avoiding the cutting edge, when my foot touched ground I propelled my body forward with my sword in front of me. He deflected my attack with his sword and thrust me backward. I back flipped in the air and just as I was landing to the ground his foot connected with my chest. I was sent flying backwards and out of the arena's lines, my back hit the ground hard and scraped it painfully, heaving a thick wall of dust.
I could hear Thorx maniacal laughter as his heavy footsteps approached me. I coughed some blood out, he was a higher level of opponent. A glint of metal above warned me his next attack, I rolled out of the swords attack. Big particles of dust were lifted from the place where his longsword left a dent, he slashed his longsword horizontally.
I blocked his attack, my sword perpendicular to his, with all the strength I could muster I threw him inches backward. I was more agile than he was. With quick steps I ran behind him and jumped on top of him, elbowing his right shoulder. He screamed in pain and let go of his longsword. He thrust his arm behind him, I quickly jumped away, he retook his longsword as I was about to slashed him again. Our swords collided, with great force he sent my body flying in the air.
I could feel the breeze up here and I could visualize everything. I tilt my body and came crashing down on him, my sword colliding with his. His numb right arm buckled and his sword fell, the blunt side of my sword hit his chest... it was the end.
Thorx lay gasping for breath on the ground, his right arm was wasted. With his left he rummaged his pocket and retrieve five gold pieces and threw them at me. I caught them in midair, accepting them as a sign of surrender and good omen.
The crowd cheered again, that same afternoon I started my travel toward the village of Ol'sima, just across the mountain, to attend the "Rider ritual" and become a Dragon Rider.

Avoid cold exposure and wear warm clothes while under a.c. Avoid smoking completely too. Avoid passive smoking in community by wearing good mask. Since cough is 2wks old,so,you need to perform chest xray (pa view) and sputum for AFB x 2sample. Review with reports asap. Specialist may be consulted for management.

Who Makes Trader Joe's Food?
Hint: It's not Trader Joe's!
A taste test to try to figure out who is behind Trader Joe's food.
Eighty percent of Trader Joe's products are sold under the company's private label, but TJ's doesn't make them.
When you see that Trader Joe's packaging, the item is actually produced by a third-party supplier whose identity is kept secret from the consumer, and who also makes other, name-brand products. Sometimes the manufacturer tweaks the product a little for Trader Joe's audience, but usually the food is kept remarkably similar to the original product, even down to copy and photography on the box. In some cases, TJ's sells both its own version and the rumored producer's. But the grocery-store giant's versions are always astronomically cheaper. Although it's impossible to confirm who's producing the goods, you can make a pretty good guess. Doing so has become sport on the Internet (see comments at the bottom of the page). CHOW tasted some of Trader Joe's private-label products against the real-world versions rumored to be the source. Here's our take on who's behind the TJ's label.
TJ's Pita Chips Parmesan, Garlic & Herbvs. Stacy's Parmesan Garlic & Herb Pita Chips
In Collusion?
Appearance / taste
Similar taste, though Stacy's chips tended to be more toasted and TJ's had a more even coating of seasonings.
Nearly identical ingredient list, including sunflower oil, sugar, yeast, and malted barley flour.
TJ's: $1.99Stacy's: $2.99 at Whole Foods
TJ's Goddess Dressingvs. Annie's Naturals Goddess Dressing
In Collusion?
Appearance / taste
The exact same flavor and consistency.
Exactly the same, and in the same proportions, from the expeller-pressed canola oil down to the xanthan gum.
TJ's: $1.99Annie's: $3.99 at Whole Foods
TJ's Vienna Style Lagervs. Gordon Biersch Märzen
In Collusion?
Yes,for the identical logo alone.
Appearance / taste
Same wheat-frond logo, and the beers had the same amber color, although TJ's had a foamier head. The beers tasted similar, but TJ's was a little maltier and sweeter.
Neither lists the ingredients.
TJ's: $5.99Gordon Biersch: $9.99 at the local liquor store
TJ's Indian Fare Punjab Eggplantvs. Tasty Bite Punjab Eggplant
In Collusion?
Appearance / taste
Same product shot on the box; same exact description: "Braised eggplant cooked in a distinctively flavored sauce"; same silver space-age pouch; similar goopiness. But TJ's brand was sweeter and less sharply spicy.
Same proportions of eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and spices. But TJ's adds pumpkin and a smidge more cumin than ginger.
TJ's: $1.99Tasty Bite: $2.49 at Whole Foods
TJ's Very Berry Clustersvs. Peace Cereal Wild Berry Crisp
In Collusion?
Maybe,or TJ's is a really good knockoff.
Appearance / taste
TJ's had unsweetened corn and multigrain flakes, generous oat clusters, and better-tasting berries; Peace Cereal's berries were too tart, but its corn flakes were too sweet.
Varying proportions of milled corn and oats, dried berries, and sweetener. Peace Cereal also lists cardamom seed, fennel seed, fenugreek seed, and nutmeg.
TJ's: $2.69Peace Cereal: $3.99 at Whole Foods
TJ's Peppermint Toothpastevs. Tom's of Maine Peppermint Toothpaste
In Collusion?
Not definitive.
Appearance / taste
Tom's had a mintier, more pleasant flavor; TJ's was too salty.
Tom's contains xylitol (for plaque prevention) and zinc citrate (tartar control); TJ's has more baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
TJ's: $1.99Tom's: $3.99 at Trader Joe's

Waking up to some blue sky, a first time this week. We took a boat to the island. A small area with clear water and a lot of umbrellas. For lunch we had a whole small crab, whole shrimp ( mine was pregnant yuk) and muscles. Not my favorite meal. It was very relaxing. Back to the hotel, another massage (oil) and our ...

She unwraps the strawberry/chocolate drumstick, leaving just enough wrapping on the cone to hold it by and puts it in my hand.
I give her a few baht and she gives me a Wai. I feel humble. She has been carrying this heavy container around all day in the sun. She brings it to me, unwraps it, and then she ...

I am not sure why she didn't want me to take pictures. It's not like it was a secret. They are on display for sale. But, I honored her request and didn't take any more. (I still have one, though!)
I had asked the hostel owner if there were any grocery stores here. All I have ever seen are small convenient stores like 7/11. He says yes ...

So with Gaye as my local translator we went up to the first ladyboy and got a massive rejection. Apparently some ladyboys don't like having their pictures taken. Then we went on a few yards and ask the next one. Boom she was happy to do it for 100 baht - can't complain at £2. The tie challenge is going well, getting photos with people from all walks of ...

... a 3* but it's right on the beach and thats where all the fireworks will be tomorrow. great View from our room too. Bit of a mess up next as I decide I want a Sunday Roast to fix the hangover. We literally walk miles as I have forgotten where the Sportsman Pub is. Eventually find it after about 40mins and surprisingly Kae is not complaining, perhaps sympathetic after the drive. Fab Roast, I have Ham and Beef with Yorkshire Pudding. I am on the road ...

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was once known as the company that supplied the central processing units to just about every computer-oriented consumer facing device in the market. This was largely due to the fact that the majority of these computing devices sported Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows on which the vast majority of applications were compiled for Intel's X86 instruction set architecture, and as far as X86 chip vendors went, Intel spent years beating most of them out of the market, leaving only AMD (which is currently not particularly competitive).
ARM and Android ruined Intel's party
Since Intel was horribly late to the mobile party, the world had moved on without Intel or its instruction set. A company called ARM Holdings (NASDAQ:ARMH) - which makes its bones by licensing its instruction set architecture (for others to build chips based on) as well as processor IP - completely fudged up Intel's monopoly by enabling many strong companies to finally get in on the processor business.
Now, while many can point to the likes of Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) or NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) as examples of merchant chip vendors that compete with Intel, they aren't the real problem - Intel has successfully competed with merchant chip vendors in the past and beaten them with sheer scale and, eventually, technology. The big problem here is that ARM's model took the power out of the hands of the merchant chip vendors and put it into the hands of the device makers.
Samsung and Apple hold half of the mobile market captive
Over the last few years, Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) have emerged as the two major players in the mobile device market. While Apple's unit volume share in both tablets and smartphones is eroding as it focuses exclusively on the high end, its chip development prowess has grown to the point where it is unlikely that Apple would ever come to Intel for anything but foundry services vis-à-vis mobile.
The bigger problem, though, is Samsung. While Apple fights to hold onto its high end niches in both the phone and tablet space, Samsung is unashamedly attacking just about every single segment - from the very highest end to the cheapest smartphones. It is doing so in such sheer scale and has built its brand so well that it's tough to imagine that Samsung becomes less important as a potential customer as time goes by.
Samsung is aggressively pursuing its own chips
Samsung is very aggressively pursuing the development and manufacture of its own chips. While its processor line, dubbed Exynos, hasn't exactly been a world-beater, it has been a very competent line of chips marrying stock ARM IP and either ARM or Imagination's GPU IP. To be quite frank, Samsung's system-on-chip teams are still much better at designing mobile chips than Intel has been - in no small part due to the fact that Samsung understands its own requirements better than anybody else does.
Further, with Samsung's announcement that it plans to build its own custom CPU cores, it will be able to custom-tailor a processor to its own unique needs from a performance/power/cost perspective. This will make it exceptionally difficult for both Qualcomm (which currently supplies Snapdragon processors to a number of Samsung devices) to maintain its position as well as for Intel to try to "break in" to Samsung's higher end, flagship designs. With so much of that market held captive, and likely a higher proportion of the higher end market held captive than the general smartphone market share numbers suggest, this is a real problem for Intel.
What is Intel to do?
Intel needs to move very quickly - there's very little time to lose at this point. Intel has no choice but to build the most desirable applications processors for smartphones from the lowest of the low end to the highest of the high end. The problem is that it also needs to do so at a cost structure that enables the company to make money. Remember - Samsung can spend extra die area to make its chips "perfect" given the very high margins it sees on the actual device sales.
This is why Intel bulls should be very concerned about Intel's ability to execute in the mobile chip space. The longer it continues to push out uncompetitive parts (which are often competitive parts that just got delayed too long), the stronger that Samsung's in-house chip teams will become, further dimming Intel's prospects of ever really winning sockets that matter at the South Korean giant.
During 2014, Intel is unlikely to have a product for phones (outside of, perhaps, a cellular baseband) that Samsung wants. That honor - should Intel execute - should fall upon Intel's next generation chip known as "Broxton". If that chip fails to deliver, then it'll be time to give up on Intel's mobile strategy.

People's minds can be changed if they are willing to honestly and openly enter the arena of ideas.
What you have written should make the light come on in the head of any person who is willing to cosider that they are wrong. There are some who will never be convinced, but we must never stop trying.
Good job. I hope he takes you up on your invitation to do some shooting.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
Do not make the mistake of not dealing with the person's statement. He said, that Canada has more guns per person than the US. In your response you are addressing the total number of guns. There are 300 million people in the US. There would have to be 300 million guns for there to be one gun per person. There are fewer than 33 million people in Canada, so there would only have to be 33 million guns for there to be one gun per person. The latest information I can find is for 1997 and it shows that for that year there were .25 firearms per person in Canada and .82 firearms per person in the US. So his statistic is incorrect.[But there is something wrong with Americans. We kill each other like no other industrialized nation. Canada has far more guns per person and they don't kill each other... so the problem is something deeper.]
First off, I'm curious as to what your sources are on saying that Americans "kill like no other". According to this website (http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...ers-per-capita ) we are #24 on the list of amount of murders per capita. And as for Canada having more guns than we do, I hightly doubt it. According to a poll in the 90s, roughtly 50% of Americans admitted to having a gun in their home. Now, that was Pre-9/11, which was when gun sales really went through the roof, and also it doesn't count the many gun owners who probably wouldn't admit to owning a gun. Unless you're counting those lil "bang bang cap guns" at Wal-Mart, I don't see how Canada has more guns than we do, lol.
As stated in another post if his statistic were true it would be evidence that his whole argument is wrong.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein
I like your response--reasoned, factual (with sources)...so of course he isn't going to read it. If he does, I'm interested in his response.
He is right I would not hunt a Dear with a AK (30 cal) but I would hunt a Deer with one.
Also we hunt with .50 cal (black powder) all the time so he is wrong there, as to the boys to the north having more guns... well look at the stats of how many guns vs how many US citizens and I believe that may be in error there too.
His crime notions are way off base, actually gun crimes are not that significant per 100K and are mostly repeat offenders doing the bad deed, so I point my finger to the judicial system for blame on that one.
One more thing the musket was the assault weapon of the 1700's.
So did anyone keep count on how many points he has wrong here?
"The sword dose not cause the murder, and the maker of the sword dose not bear sin" Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac 11th century
Have him read this article: http://www.usconcealedcarry.com/public/113.cfm
Then read the 2nd amendment section here:
Then read the militia act. The militia act does specifically talk about muskets because they were the standard "infantry" gun of the day. My understanding is that we should have what the standard soldier carries. Our rights do however end at artillery, because they address artillery seperately than "arms".
Point out the fact that Connecticut, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont all had their state constitutions BEFORE the Bill Of Rights and they specifically addressed self defense.
If he decides that militia means "national guard" apply this type of logic: Why would the government need to protect a government entity from the government, IN a document designed to protect the people?
I hope some of this helps.
