The airport's Spanish owner Abertis is spending £4 million on road widening at a bottle-neck where queues of traffic stretch for up to half a mile on busy summer mornings.
Managing director Glyn Jones said about 6,000 private jets are expected to land and take off from the airport - officially named London Luton - during the six weeks of the Olympics and Paralympic Games.
He said: "These are people who are really interested in seeing the events but can arrange their own transport. The last thing they want is to have any issue getting in and out of the airport. We simply can't have a queue on this side of the roundabout as well as the other side."
Many of the wealthy passengers who use Luton - including Roman Abramovich, Kylie Minogue and the England football team - use helicopters for the last leg of their journeys.
However, during the Olympics, London air space will be closed to helicopters and celebrities will be forced to travel by land. Few are expected to take the option of a shuttle bus to the station and the 20-minute train journey to St Pancras International.
The airport lodged planning application for the road widening with Luton council last week and hopes to have it finished by mid-June, little more than a month before the Games start.
The wider road marks the first phase of a programme to overhaul the image of London's "Cinderella airport", which still suffers from Lorraine Chase's cockney reference to "Lut'n Airpor" in an advertising campaign for Campari in the Seventies.
It is presenting itself as the closest airport to the Games after London City in Docklands. The two and a half million passengers passing through Luton next July and August will be able to use Javelin trains to the Olympic Park if they travel on to St Pancras.
Luton - the capital's fourth biggest airport - also hopes to cash in on disenchantment with Heathrow and Gatwick by promoting its relative absence of queues, ease of access to central London and short taxiing delays before take-off and landing.
Mr Jones said: "Our aim is to make London Luton the airport Londoners want to use, because it offers them the wide range of destinations at competitive prices, and most of all with a convenience other London airports haven't always been able to deliver".Reuse content

About me:
In some point of view I could refer myself to a woman who can marry the night and will never give up on her life. During my lifetime I had faced a lot of different situations, disappointing and inspiring ones. But in any case I didn't lose the hope for the best trying to be easy-going and positive, even shiny personality. All that made me not only successful and independent entrepreneur but happy and loving mom. My moto "Don't miss your chance of being afraid of something" explains a lot of my spheres of interests and hobbies. My greatest proud (sure after my kid) is Animals' Defense Society that I have created by my own. Previously I have been living for my son and for him only. But time passes so rapidly and children grow up. I realize that my loving heart is ready to open itself for someone else. Probably it will be you.... Who knows?
Looking For Men Type:
I don't want to write this long sentences about dedication, trustworthiness and reliability of my ideal man... Why should I? It's for young ladies here trying to attract attention of mature men. If you are my destiny - you are. The only thing that is top important for me is your readiness to accept my son as yours and to become a loving father, adviser and a real friend for him. For some men it could sound like a challenge. If you are ready for open, sincere and stable communicating with such woman as me I.... won't miss my chance

|[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-6326) Socket closure does not signal threads blocked in I/O operations.
|Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:25:32 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12749823#action_12749823 ] Mark Hindess commented on HARMONY-6326: --------------------------------------- Please refrain from describing the details of the openjdk implementation. It is acceptable to talk about the behaviour that is "visible" externally - such as strace output for example - but it is not helpful to those with authorized status to discuss details of the implementation. It seems clear from what you have written that have accessed source code from another implementation but it is not clear which component(s) (VM-1 or CL-4 or both) you would be prevented from contributing to. On this basis, this project should probably avoid accepting contributions from you in either area. > Socket closure does not signal threads blocked in I/O operations. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HARMONY-6326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6326 > Project: Harmony > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Classlib > Affects Versions: 5.0M10 > Environment: Linux 2.6.28 x86_64, as packaged by Ubuntu 9.04. > Reporter: Josh Guilfoyle > Priority: Critical > > Neither PlainSocketImpl#close nor the underlying OSNetworkSystem call to socketClose attempt to signal threads that may be blocking in I/O operations on the underlying file descriptor. > Contrasting the Harmony implementation with OpenJDK 6b14 (as packaged by Ubuntu), you can see that specific attempts are made to unblock threads during the platform's close implementation on Linux (linux_close.c:NET_SocketClose). > In testing, I have discovered that shutting down the socket's channel which is being waited upon unblocks any threads. For instance, if the thread is blocked in a read call then a call to Socket#shutdownInput will unblock the method. > This bug was first discovered and tested on the Harmony release as packaged with Android 1.5r3 and can be observed on both the emulator and released phones. > For testing, I created an application which spawns a connection thread to read from a public host, and also a timer to eventually attempt to close the socket and flag the thread as canceled. Part of the way through the download, I issue an iptables command[1] on my local machine to DROP all packets heading to the host of the download which causes the read call to block up to the socket timeout. When the thread cancellation is triggered, it is evident both in my logging and in the prerequisite Thread#join call that the downloading thread is still blocked in the read call. If I add calls to Socket#shutdownInput and shutdownOutput in addition to Socket#close, the blocking thread is unblocked immediately. > I used a similar technique with Sun's JRE 1.6.0_13 which demonstrated that Sun's implementation unblocks waiting threads without the need to call shutdownInput or shutdownOutput. > My demonstration source code can be found here: > http://github.com/jasta/harmony-socket-bug/tree/master > Though the source code does use Android, the bug can be demonstrated outside that context with (I believe) any Harmony release to date. > [1] The iptables command I used during testing: > iptables -I OUTPUT -d 220.127.116.11 -j DROP -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Bucs sued by former cheerleader over pay
TAMPA, Fla. (TBO.com) - When she was a cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Manouchcar Pierre-Val said being on the squad let her have fun and give back to the community.
But after less than a year, Pierre-Val decided cheerleading wasn't a "smart choice for her because she wasn't being compensated for the majority of the time" she worked, said her attorney, Kimberly Woods, of Morgan & Morgan.
On Monday, Woods filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Pierre-Val accusing the NFL franchise of violating federal and state wage laws.
Pierre-Val was paid less than $2 an hour when all the time she was required to work was accounted for, Woods said.
The lawsuit seeks to be a class action on behalf of Bucs cheerleaders. Woods said she has talked to others who are interested in joining the action, but she couldn't give any more information about how many women or their names.
Bucs spokesman Luis Nelson said he couldn't comment on the lawsuit or on cheerleader pay in general, saying the team doesn't comment on active litigation. He added, "As a general rule, we don't discuss compensation practices for any members of our organization."

Me & My Money: Arkadi Kuhlmann
By Deborah L Cohen
CHICAGO, June 5 (Reuters) - Long-time banking innovator Arkadi Kuhlmann likes to take control of his own money. That's hardly surprising for an executive who introduced consumers to direct, branchless banking as the founder of ING Direct Canada in 1996.
Kuhlmann expanded to the United States four years later, with ING Direct USA (now CapitalOne 360 ). It became the country's largest savings bank and No. 1 direct bank, with more than $84 billion in deposits and 7.8 million customers.
Kuhlmann, now in his 60s and residing in Delaware, is about to launch a new startup bank, ZenBanx Inc, whose slogan is "around the corner, around the world." It will be the sixth bank he has founded over the course of his career, which he started as a business professor shortly after graduating from the University of Western Ontario.
Reuters caught up with him at C2-MTL, a leadership entrepreneurship conference in Montreal in May, to talk about how he deals with his own finances.
Q: Were you interested in money as a kid growing up in Toronto?
A: I wasn't interested in finance at all. I was interested in nature - geography, geology, that kind of stuff. My mother was in finance. She was an accountant, a finance person, and she was sort of my signpost.

A surveillance operation was set up, it was alleged, in Suffolk, where the company constructing the craft was based, and at Greenpeace's workshop in London. State-of-the-art equipment was used, and operatives reported that something sinister was taking shape. A picture of the project began to emerge: it was cylindrical and yellow. Could it possibly be ... a yellow submarine?
In fact it was a solar-powered survival capsule, equipped to carry a crew of three. It is immobile but can be airlifted on to land or sea. It is easy to understand how the mistake was made: even Greenpeace admits the "bright yellow cylindrical-shaped capsule looks like a submarine with no conning tower".
Less easy to fathom was who carried out the surveillance which led to the mistake. Scotland Yard's Special Branch says it has no knowledge of the operation. But a source said: "It wasn't us; I believe it was another agency, and the job may have been contracted out to private investigators."
A former police officer now in private investigations maintained: "There was an operation on around last March. Obviously certain parties were concerned about what exactly was being produced, and it was natural to carry out checks. I have been told that a government agency was involved."
Chris Rose, Greenpeace's campaign director, said: "We are regularly put under surveillance by a variety of public and private bodies. The capsule was built in March-April, and at the time we were told by very highly placed sources that the then Tory government and elements in the oil industry were convinced that we would do something spectacular to put the environment on the election agenda, and this could help the opposition parties."
The capsule was used by Greenpeace in July to "seize" the island of Rockall as part of the campaign to stop Atlantic oil exploration. It was also used in its "occupation" of the Stena Dee oil platform this month. BP, which had been involved in litigation with Greenpeace over Stena Dee, denied it had carried out the surveillance during the construction of the pod.

Vomiting Larry battles "Ferrari of the virus world"
* Highly infectious virus makes millions sick each year
* Formidable enemy survives outside hosts, evades cleaning
* Moving target means developing vaccines, drugs is tricky
By Kate Kelland, Health and Science Correspondent
LONDON, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Poor Larry isn't looking too good. He's pale and clammy and he's been projectile vomiting over and over again while his carers just stand by and watch.
Yet their lack of concern for Larry is made up for by their intense interest in how far splashes of his vomit can fly, and how effectively they evade attempts to clean them up.
Larry is a "humanoid simulated vomiting system" designed to help scientists analyse contagion. And like millions around the world right now, he's struggling with norovirus - a disease one British expert describes as "the Ferrari of the virus world".
"Norovirus is one of the most infectious viruses of man," said Ian Goodfellow, a professor of virology at the department of pathology at Britain's University of Cambridge, who has been studying noroviruses for 10 years.
"It takes fewer than 20 virus particles to infect someone. So each droplet of vomit or gram of faeces from an infected person can contain enough virus to infect more than 100,000 people." Continued...

A Q&A With AMHCA's New Western Region Director
|Editor's Note:Steven Tierney, EdD, CAS took office as AMHCA's Western Region director last July 1. As one of AMHCA's four regional directors, in addition to a director-at-large, Tierney's region includes the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
To let members know more about their elected board member, The Advocate asked Tierney to respond to a series of questions about his professional work, and his work on AMHCA's board.
You may reach Tierney at email@example.com.
public programs. I believe that AMHCA's commitment to professional development, high ethical standards, and evidence-based practice is good for our consumers.
Steven Tierney: I want to help build AMHCA membership in the Western states and build bridges of support between mental health professionals in those states.
Steven Tierney: Creating and promoting a code of ethics and standards for professional practice is good for the profession, good for the consumers, and good for the people in our communities who need care and treatment.
The Diplomate and Clinical Mental Health Specialist credential allows us to present ourselves as competent and innovative leaders in the field. These programs are a demonstration of what is good about AMHCA and its commitment to excellence.
Steven Tierney: I am excited about the Annual Conference in Orlando. There will be a large number of important sessions and keynote speakers, but for me, the chance to talk with colleagues about what works in psychotherapy and what mental health innovations they are using is the real benefit. It's where we get to really share experiences. I really encourage everyone to at-tend and experience this professional development opportunity.

With Polestar is officially under Volvo's umbrella, the Scandinavian tuners have carte blanche to inject more performance into the brand's lineup. Now the division is looking towards its latest crossover. As Polestar's first major project since joining the company, expect to see a modified XC90 soon (R-Design trim above) that's hot enough to melt the Swedish snow.
Volvo's supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter, Drive-E four-cylinder is no slouch in stock trim with 316 horsepower on T6 models in the US, but Polestar thinks it can do better. According to Autocar, power is expected to push 350 horsepower or more after the tuners work their magic, and the twin-charged powerplant would be attached to an eight-speed automatic for the XC90.
"SUVs are hip. People really like them as urban cruisers, so why not have an XC car that can go on the track as well?" division CEO Niels Möller said to Autocar.
Rumors from earlier this year suggest the tuned XC90 would arrive in 2016 as two models. One would be a high-performance diesel for Europe, and the US would get a gas-fueled version with around 360 hp. As it does with the S60 and V60, Polestar would also adjust the suspension, install better brakes, and tweak the CUV's looks to match the extra grunt.
While it's not expected for this XC90, Polestar is still developing a tuned version of Volvo's plug-in hybrid powertrain. "There will be performance hybrids, which use electrification to enhance performance, rather than worrying about range," Möller told Autocar.

BeschreibungFor nearly fifteen years John Waters has been a dissident voice writing in his weekly column for "The Irish Times, invariably confronting the conventional wisdom on issues ranging from fatherhood and the official denial of the rights of parents and children, to the absurdity of Ireland's seemingly endless tribunals. He is known for an elegant representation of common sense in the face of ideology, received thinking, and self-serving cant. In these controversial and highly-charged pieces he revisits his principal themes and concerns of a most turbulent decade in Ireland and the world, providing an invigorating look at how Ireland and its place in the world have changed in that time.

OXFORD, Miss. -- Even though Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze isn't one to make excuses, he had plenty of room to do so this week. The Rebels, who had lost three consecutive games, were without five starters on defense and the team's leading rusher when they hosted No. 6 LSU on Saturday.
Turns out Freeze and the Rebels didn't need any excuses as they stunned the Tigers, 27-24.
"I couldn't be more proud of that staff and those kids to go through what they've been through, with the injuries and the outside world having their opinion of things," Freeze said. "In the back of your mind, you always wonder as a coach if you can get a team ready to do those things like this when you're shorthanded and coming off an extremely disappointing loss."
The Rebels were in a similar situation last week when Texas A&M came to town. The game was tied with three minutes left, and it was up to quarterback Bo Wallace and the offense to drive down the field and win the game. Instead, they went three-and-out, punted the ball and watched as the Aggies drove down and kicked the game-winning field goal.
"For A&M to beat us the way they did, I wasn't letting that happen to us again," Wallace said. "Ja-Mes [Logan] made a huge catch in the same situation that he had last week. He took a shot and hung onto it. Everybody just came together and fought hard on that last drive."
It was Ole Miss who kicked the game-winning field goal this week, but it wouldn't have happened had it not been for a number of players who stepped up when called upon.
The defense lost four starters due to injury against Texas A&M, and Freeze told his team Friday that starting cornerback Senquez Golson would be suspended for the visit from LSU. Four more Rebels defenders went down during Saturday's game, and yet, they forced three turnovers in the first half and held on for the upset.
"I think it was a God thing," defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. "We sat in there on Sunday and said, 'We got 14 players, not starters, 14 players for seven spots between the defensive line and the linebackers. We tried to make D.T. [Shackelford] do two different things, and he was able to do that. Fortunately, Tony Conner made a big difference because we were able to teach him some linebacker stuff. The kids are warriors. We needed that for our program."
On offense, running backs Jaylen Walton and I'Tavius Mathers more than made up the absence of starter Jeff Scott. Walton finished with 106 yards rushing and two touchdowns while Mathers added 51 yards on 12 carries.
"We ran the football against a really good defense," Freeze said. "Our offensive line played against a good defensive front. I have great confidence in Jaylen and I'Tavius. Jaylen has quick acceleration. He did really well tonight and protected the ball."
It was a crushing loss for Les Miles and his LSU team, who lost any chance they had to play in the BCS National Championship, but the victory shouldn't be understated for Ole Miss. The Rebels were down, but they showed they're not out.
"We really needed a win," Walton said. "We came close last week where we should've won, but this week, we got the W and now we can keep moving forward with wins."

BRANDON — They came from Thailand, Somalia, the Philippines, Canada, Sweden, Mali, Bhutan and more, but at the end of the May 10 naturalization ceremony at the Neshobe Elementary School in Brandon, 62 candidates from 29 countries left as Americans.
The event filled the school auditorium with elected officials, area residents, students and teachers. Even U.S. Rep. Peter Welch was on hand to be the first to welcome the newest citizens, the largest group ever gathered for the annual ceremony in Brandon.

This time of year it's easy to have garden-envy, especially if you're just starting a landscaping or gardening project of your own.
When you drive around, do you notice the beautiful, well-established gardens hugging other peoples' homes, bursting with native foliage, well-timed blooms and a mysterious sense of effortlessness? And then look at your shovel, bags of compost, weed-covered lawn and wonder ? egads! How do I begin?
Well, there's good news. You don't have to do it alone.
ADDISON — Scattered thunderstorms and high winds struck the northern half of Addison County on Thursday evening, causing some damage to property and trees.
Nowhere were their effects felt like they were in the Addison lakeside neighborhood of Potash Bay, where winds blew a home off its foundation, lifted a pickup truck over a barn, ripped roofing and siding off another estimated 10 homes, and tore down power and phone lines.
BRISTOL — Bristol water and sewer rates will go up July 1 — water by a single-digit percentage, sewer by double digits.
Current water rates have been in place since 2013.
"At a certain point if you don't increase rates you're just kicking that can down the road," explained Town Administrator Therese Kirby. "Prices go up because of inflation, electricity goes up, supply rates go up, your contract terms go up. Things increase. So rates need to increase to cover the operation and maintenance of the system."
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School Renovation Committee is wrestling with how to get the most bang for the buck when refurbishing the nearly 50-year-old high school building in Bristol.
At its May 15 meeting, the committee also strove to establish priorities within a price tag the community would support.
MONTPELIER — Forest tent caterpillars have hatched, according to forest health specialists from the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. The insect is expected to cause widespread defoliation this summer, mostly in forests across northeastern and central Vermont.
The white bulbs of wild leeks, also called ramps (especially in the south), can be eaten year round, but it's the early leaves that are most appreciated. In pre-freezer days, ramps were the first greens available after five or so months of potatoes and they were considered important as well as good tasting. Ramp festivals are still held in much of Appalachia to celebrate the arrival of this nutritious fresh food, and these tourist attractions have become so successful that in some places ramps are overharvested.

Obama Signs Lands Act, Protects 2 Million Acres of Wilderness
President Barack Obama on Monday signed into law a bill setting aside more than 2 million acres of new wilderness and protecting more than 1,000 miles of rivers.
Flanked by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Congressional leaders at an East Room signing ceremony in the White House, Obama said the measure had been decades in the making.
As Americans, we possess few blessings greater than the vast and varied landscapes that stretch the breadth of our continent, Obama said. Our lands have always provided great bounty -- food and shelter for the first Americans, for settlers and pioneers; the raw materials that grew our industry; the energy that powers our economy.
He added, What these gifts require in return is our wise and responsible stewardship. As our greatest conservationist President, Teddy Roosevelt, put it almost a century ago, 'I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.'
The bill, formally known as the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009, was the first piece of legislation passed by the Senate this year, Obama said, and it did so with broad, bipartisan support.
This legislation guarantees that we will not take our forests, rivers, oceans, national parks, monuments, and wilderness areas for granted; but rather we will set them aside and guard their sanctity for everyone to share, he said. That's something all Americans can support.
He added, Ranchers and fishermen, small business owners, environmentalists, conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats on the local, state and federal levels -- all united around the idea that there should be places that we must preserve; all doing the hard work of seeking common ground to protect the parks and other places that we cherish.
The bill also seeks to address the challenges of global warming, particularly when it comes to water resources in the Southwest, Obama said.
This bill assesses how growth and climate change will affect our access to water resources, especially in the West and Southwest, and it includes solutions to complex and long-simmering water disputes, he said. It's hard to overstate the real and measurable impact this will have on people's lives.
But the bill also includes some provisions unrelated to lands, Obama noted, as it includes the Christopher and Dana Reeve's Paralysis Act.
This act creates new coordinated research activities through the National Institutes of Health that will connect the best minds and best practices from the best labs in the country, and focus their endeavors through collaborative scientific research into the cure for paralysis, saving effort, money, and, most importantly, time, Obama said.
He added, It promotes enhanced rehabilitation services for paralyzed Americans, helping develop better equipment and technology that will allow them to live full and independent lives free from unnecessary barriers. And it will work to improve the quality of life for all those who live with paralysis, no matter what the cause.
The bill's passage was swiftly hailed by Democratic Leaders in the House and Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who attended the signing ceremony, noted that 700,000 acres of protected wilderness were in her home state.
This landmark legislation will conserve public lands for future generations and includes numerous water-related provisions that will help manage drought, particularly in the West, improve aging infrastructure, recharge groundwater supplies, and promote the reuse and recycling of water, she said in a written statement. Today is a great day for all who care about our beautiful country and its pristine natural heritage.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who also attended the ceremony and was given a hug by Salazar before Obama took to the stage, also cheered the signing of the law.
Preserving these public lands is now the law of the land, and will go a long way toward protecting our environment and natural resources for generations to come,

Mankind was not made evil no sentient being was ever made evil.... all thinking creatures were made with possibility to do evil... A simple understanding of christian theodicy is usually all that is needed to dispel the ignorance that is passed around this sub-form.
The question of why is there evil if God is GOOD has been answered many many many already there are whole libraries full with answers and solutions. THE RELIGIONS are thousands of years old don't you think believers have answered all these questions multiply times already??? but no matter what answer theist give you many people just won't accept it and even worse they usually cannot give proper reasoning behind why the solutions given to them are unacceptable.

Either way, clarity and freedom of thought are great things, nothing wrong with thinking for oneself, instead of one book doing all the thinking for you.
Saying God didn't create evil, it's what happened when man doesn't have the love of God in his heart or some shit like that?
And cold is the absence of heat according to the law of physics
He said the physics analogy first I guess to pull the blanket over people's eyes, but I thought god was omnipresent so there could never be a time when God or his presence was absent

Go to page 1 and you'll see page 2 right below it.
It only takes about 10-20 seconds to down load the podcast.
All you need to do is grab and scroll to the end, (to the right) once it's down loaded and it will tell you how long it is.
Hey is there any way we can get the packlist posted?
He talks about most of his gear, but a list would be nice to see what he's using during the trip.May 21, 2007 at 11:14 pm #1389871
Aaron, check out the podcast interview we did with Andy were we talk about his gear. It came out last week and the companion article and podcast player are accessible from the GWL Portal page as well as the "podcasts" page.

Hey Andy & Ryan,
Huge thanks for this podcast.
It felt so relevant and important to take the discussion far beyond
just lightweight camping. I truly appreciated bringing up the very serious issues of simple living and our loss of wilderness.
A big reason that Lightweight camping appeals to me is because it's a very real chance to live simple. It's a renewal exercise for my soul, and with a revitalized "self" I can better change the world. Yes, I know that sounds lofty – but it's true.
This is an enormously important issue – but it can be hard to articulate, and Andy was wonderful at speaking his truth. It was refreshing and inspiring.
This web-site has lot's of cool tricks and specialized gear, but after listening to this podcast – I realize that it can achieve SO MUCH MORE!
well done!

Phenomenal podcast.
Re: global warming and the lightweight lifestyle, the notion of Pascal's Wager comes to mind. To wit, that the expected value of believing (in god, as the wager goes) is always greater than the expected value of not believing.
If we choose to believe that global warming (and the net long-term negative impact of humanity on planet earth) is real and consequential, and if we, individually, take measures to address it (ie, by living a "lightweight lifestyle"), then the result is that we benefit both ourselves and the planet regardless of future outcomes had we chosen not to believe or to act.
But there's also a more sharply defined advantage to living simply, particularly as it relates to the skills we develop in order to, and as a result of, living with less. In Pascal's Wager, believing is at its least a harmless and contrived conviction, and at best it gets him to heaven. For us, today, believing in and following a simpler lifestyle is also a form of life insurance. It can increase our own individual odds of survival in the face of climate change and the "sudden" disasters it may spawn.
Planet Earth will almost certainly host life for a few more billion years. The life forms that hang around through and beyond humanity's growing crisis will be the Adapted Ones. And each of us, individually, has the power to adapt. Our power is our intelligence. On the grand scale, our collective power will always work both for us and against us, and chaos may rule. But individually, we have a choice in how we use our power. And so I say, choose wisely – for the planet, certainly, but also for you.Jun 4, 2007 at 2:34 am #1391096

As you have noticed by now we're undergoing a big change. Articles are a bit in flux and you should see the podcasts appear in the article shortly.
The best way to get the podcsts though remains subscribing to them via iTunes. This is especially true for the videos.

I spoke with Andy today. He's in Anaconda, MT, and about to do a 380 mile section w/o resupply. His spirits are very good considering his past week. His body is holding up well, and he seems pretty excited to get the Montana smoke behind him, he made an interesting comment: that the smoke actually robs him of about 30 minutes of daylight each night.

My dad and 2 friends were on a 5 day trip in the Wind River Range in Wyoming on a trip up to Squaretop mountain. We were resting in the shade when some dude came zipping by. By the size of his pack, I thought he was out for a dayhike. :-) We started asking him where he was headed and after a couple of minutes it was clear we were obviously dealing with some sort of nut who was trying to walk from Glacier down to the desert with hardly any gear. My dad, starting to get suspicious, asked his name and immediately recognized him, since my dad has been occasionally following Andy's journey. We had a good talk and Andy looked fit, happy, and was all smiles.
After he left us, we went through a variety of emotions. My dad informed me that he didn't actually start in Glacier, but that he walked up there from Arizona, up the PCT, and over from Washington. I felt dirty for having such a large pack. :-) We all felt inspired and legged out the next mile at record pace for our rag tag group. We also felt like total losers for only making 7 or 8 miles that day. The running joke is that everytime we talk to each other now (no matter what time of day), we say "Andy's still walking."
Good Luck Andy, Stay Safe,

WordPress is in the Press – but Security isn'tPosted by Philipp in News and my few cents, Webmaster
I just read today the latest issue of Pc Praxis, a german computer magazine. They started a series about WordPress the current issue covers how to install WordPress. The next issue of the series will cover the best tips and Plugins for WordPress, the last issue will then cover the theme how to earn money with Blogging.
For sure it's nice to see that WordPress gets so much attention within the german speaking area, as WordPress is really nice and it's popularity and mass of available Plugins can't be simply kept secret. But it seems that the same mistake the developers of WordPress make or made, this magazine is doing as well.
They're not covering the area of how to secure your Blog. The only tip you get about how to improve your security is to drop the default admin account and add another Administrator-account who holds the same rights, which is harder to Enumerate, but not impossible to.
Together with BlogSecurity.net I'm trying to get an additional issue which covers the security issue more deep than it's currently done and planned.
This Post is as well published on BlogSecurity.net

Chapter two.
"This is what I truly look like"
I gazed upon the beauty of her eyes that look like saucers. I don't know if it was love at first sight, or if it was the fact that she was the Daughter of Christ, but my heart started to tremble causing me to start breathing through my mouth.
"Do not be scared. I'm not here to take." She said.
How could it be possible? I never knew Jesus had a sister. At that time I didn't know what to do.
"W-why are you here? Did I do something?" I said.
"Not at all. I am here to rapture when the time comes. I was sent down to this world to rule over it since this world is beginning to become hell itself. You are the first person that believes me, therefore I shall allow you to be my prince."
As soon as I heard those words excitement ran through my veins, but still I felt scared deep down my heart.
"Is there any reason why your scared?" She said walking to my arm reach.
"You don't have to be my Prince if you don't want to.
"But I do want to. I just don't know what will happen when I succeed in becoming your Prince."
"Nothing will happen. You will just be sinless that's all"
All I wanted to do was to just hug her for a long period of time, but I didn't want her to think of me as a weird person. I slowly began to walk closer to her, but before I placed my first foot forward she walked up close to me, looking into my eyes, causing me to blush.
"If you want a hug you can have one." She said, "There is nothing wrong with hugging someone you like."
At that moment I realized that she could probably read my mind, or that it was a coincidence that she knew exactly what I was thinking about. She then wrapped her arms around my body.
I don't know why
But I felt like crying.
I don't know if it was from joyfulness or from life long depression... or both.
"Don't cry." She said, "Why are you crying?"
"I don't know." I said silently crying with tears running down my face, one after the other.
All my life I've been searching, for someone to love me for who I am but I never found the right one. But now, the daughter of Christ is standing before me with her arms wrapped around me. Maybe that's the reason why I'm crying... From joyfulness... If only I could be her lover, but for now... I am truly blessed.

There's no better way to send the message straight than by hanging this 1st Navy Jack Door Hanger and amuse the onlookers!

It's ideal to drape in your front door or bedroom door to warn unwelcomed guests from entering your domain.
If you collect military merchandises here's a striking item to add to your growing memorabilia. It's one witty gift idea to give to military friends and families, as well as to a Navy veterans. Made from 30 mil plastics for a greart-looking appearance that last long!


text: In 2008, Congress passed a Post-9/11 GI Bill to mirror the one that helped millions of returning heroes from WWII by offering grants and loans to veterans to pursue a college education in a profession or trade. The WWII GI Bill is credited with helping to build America's middle class.Many for-profit colleges use hard-sell tactics that are catching returning veterans and active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines living on military bases unaware of the high cost and low success rates of these institutions. They sell empty promises of a high quality education and "guaranteed" jobs and pressure veterans into signing long-term contracts on the spot that ultimately exhaust their GI Bill benefits and leave them empty handed – without a degree, without transferable credits and heavily in debt. The average annual price of a certification program at a for-profit college was nearly $20,000 in 2010 compared to an average of $4,000 at a public college. The for-profits charge as much as $35,000 for an associate's degree program, compared to $8,000 at a public college. Nationwide, nearly 70 percent of all students attending for-profit colleges do not graduate, and most of the credits earned at these colleges do not transfer to traditional colleges. A scathing report from the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, released in July 2012, documented these abuses and found that more than a third of the education benefits awarded under new GI Bill benefits are being used at for-profit colleges.

WATCH: Clippers Protest Team Owner Donald Sterling At Playoff Game (VIDEO)
The Los Angeles Clippers players silently protested their team's owner, Donald Sterling, after a recorded tape surfaced over the weekend of him making racist remarks.
As the players came out for game four of their playoff series against Golden State on Sunday, team members took their warm-up informs and tossed them to the ground at center court. But that wasn't all. They then warmed up with their red shirts turned inside out to hide the Clippers name and logo.
As Gossip Cop has previously reported, Clippers owner Donald Sterling outrageously offensive recorded argument with girlfriend V. Stiviano has already led to condemnation from President Obama, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and others calling for a boycott and action by the NBA.
On the tape, Sterling (who claims he's not racist) is heard complaining about Stiviano's association with black people. After she says the Clippers are mostly black, Sterling shoots back, "I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them?Do I know that I have — Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?" A longer version of the painfully awful recording, which also invokes the Holocaust, emerged on Sunday (listen here).
Note: Video no longer available
Check out photos of the Clippers' protest below, and tell us what you think.

Don't waste your money on Facebook ads
Hi ya
Gerald here,
They're a money suck.
All you're doing is adding to
Mark Zuckerberg's bank account.
And you will
eventually end up
in the poor house.
I've seen it time and
time again.
Newbies diving headfirst
into Facebook advertising
thinking it's the Holy Grail
of instant money.
It ain't.
You can lose your
shirt, your wallet
and your underpants.
That is, unless you
know what you're doing.
It all comes down to knowing
the FUNDAMENTALS of advertising
which my good friend John Crosbie
knows inside out.
In fact:-
He spent years honing his
skills and making $3k a
day from online ads away
from Facebook.
Then it all came
tumbling down.
John's main traffic
source shut down. Then
his backup crashed and
burned as well.
Within 1 Week, his
income stopped.
So John turned to Facebook
and overnight was able to
score ROI's of 486%.
Best part is he can get these
kind of results anytime he wants.
Now it's your turn because
John has created a report
where he spills the beans
on exactly what he does to
get those astounding returns.
Because John knows you
will make money with his
report as well, he has done
something which is unheard
of in internet marketing.
He is offering a lifetime
money back guarantee.
So take advantage of John's
insanity, grab his report
and tell Mark Zuckerberg
to stick it.
And when you grab this through
my link you're getting the
exclusive free bonus "Facebook
Ad Geek" which shows you the
only way left for the little
guy to get rich on Facebook
(you'll see this inside your
JVZoo customer area after you've

Today i woke up to see my owner staring at me ! i went up to her and started barking and scratching at the bed...she got mad and ignored me ! i was sad so i decided i would jump on the bed and lick her face until she started giggling. we went through our usual routine and she got ready for the day while i went aroound the house looking for my sweater. after i found my sweater i decided to play tricks on my owner i would put my sweater on the couch and when she went to grab it ... I WOULD SNATCH IT BACK. she enjoyed playing with me after a while i let her put it on me and she went to the computer room. i got on her lap then jumped on the table. my favorite seat is right infront of the screen. sometimes i forget that is im going to sit there i need to lie down so she can see....today was one of those days. my owner got mad when she told me to lie down and i wouldnt so she took me off the table. after soem begging and whinning i won her over and she put me back on. i saw she was making a dogster page for me she took me a picture and put it on the web i looked so handsome ! so that was my day so far.

It's Friday again, and you know what that means! Slacking off all
afternoon to build JavaScript games! Right?
CSS3 Transitions in Firefox
demonstrates some new CSS3 effects available in Firefox 3.7, complete
with an elaborate
demo. The effects
should work in recent WebKit browsers as well.
These effects could be used inside JavaScript game logic to simplify
animation code.
jStorage is a wrapper for major frameworks that makes accessing modern local storage mechanisms easier:
jStorage was first developed under the name of DOMCached but since a lot of features were dropped to make it simpler (like the support for namespaces and such) it was renamed. DOMCached had separate files for working with Prototype and jQuery but jStorage can handle both in one go.
Usage looks like this:
var value = $.jStorage.get('key');
if (!value) {
// if not - load the data from the server
value = load_data_from_server()
// and save it
$.jStorage.set('key', value);
Aves, a new
JavaScript game engine complete with a server-side component, is under
development. The authors are targeting multiplayer games. The YouTube
video demonstrates the power of the engine. The video mentions many
concepts JavaScript developers should be familiar with, in particular
how player actions are tied to events.
Simple puzzle
(demo) is an attempt at making a simple puzzle game with JavaScript and jQuery. The author constructs a
mouse-based game in
mojito-jq2.js, with a scrolling background and a typical game life cycle.
