In September 1752, the marchand-mercier (dealer) Lazare Duvaux recorded in his daybook that he was "to clean and restore two lacquered figures carrying sugar canes, and polish the silver sugar canes and flowers" for Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress, an important patron of the arts. This note led scholars to guess that these decorative figures may have belonged to this famous paramour. These figures are two of only a few objects documented as having been in her possession that still exist today. No other decorative pieces made in the 1700s combining bronze and silver are known.
Madame de Pompadour collected avidly. To a friend who commented on her spending she once wrote, "I fully approve of this so-called madness, which feeds so many paupers; I get much more pleasure out of distributing gold than from hoarding it."

Hey everyone.
You might have noticed that things have been a bit quiet round here for the last few weeks. The main reason for that is that I've ended up starting a big engineering project and it's quite involved.
In fact, I think I might have accidentally started another business. 🙂
This news is quite exciting in and of itself but it also illustrates one of the strengths of my methodology for living without a job so I thought I'd take this opportunity to write about it. (more…)

Fantastic apartment in a great position for the buses and harbour,Adriana was very helpful and we would have no hesitation recommending the apartment and Madeira to anyone, look forward to going again!
We are very pleased with our stay in Funchal. Not least was the flat part in making our stay a memorable experience. The apartment was well equipped and the location in a shopping center crucial to get in Funchal, made all the breakfast was eaten in the apartment.
We are also very pleased with Adriana. She was very helpful and pleasant.
Everything worked well and we are happy to recommend the apartment to others.
As I booked the apartment the same evening I wanted to move in, my host Adriana took all efforts to make it possible. Thank You so much, Adriana!! The apartment is perfectly located in the center of Funchal, a quiet street off one of the main through roads. First choice for all visitors who love vibrant Funchal as well as day trips over the island.
Thanks Adriana for hosting us! The apartment was very clean and very well equipped! Though the apartment is in the city and in walking distance to every sight seeing spot in Funchal, it was very quiet. The view from the balacony was amazing.
Adriana is very helpful and we had a great time on Madeira.
Thanks a lot!
Very nice owner, helpful and flexible with check out. Apartment very big and lot of space, well equipped. Perfect location in the hot center.
Very nicely decorated, big and comfortable flat in the center of Funchal. Supermarket in the same building, all busses, mercado, beach, restaurants near by. A bit noisy because of the main road. Second bathroom is very practical. A dishwasher would increase the holiday - feeling ;-) Adriana was very friendly and helpful and answers quickly to emails. We can recommend it highly :-)
Excellent appartment and very well equiped. The location was very good, near the shop area. I definetly recommend.
We felt comfortable in this Apartment! Everthing was fine, nothing to declare. Thanks a lot Adriana :)
It was a real pleasure staying with Adriana in Funchal, Madeira. The flat was very conviniently located in the heart of the city, just at the entrance to the market and old town. The flat is well kept and clean, has everything needed for self-catering and is very comfortable, if not even too big for a couple. You could easily stay with two couples as there is a second bedroom and second bathroom. We thank Ana for her kind hospitality and friendliness and can truly recommend her as host!
Thank you Adriana once again for all!

Hulk (Marvel Comics)
this wiki
|Tony Stark and Reed Richards use their genius to save the world every other week. That's how they'll be remembered in history. Meanwhile, I – I who, forgive me, have just as much to contribute – will be lucky if my tombstone doesn't simply say "Hulk Smash."
|~ Robert Bruce Banner
The Hulk is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962).
Throughout his comic book appearances, the Hulk is portrayed as a large green humanoid that possesses immense superhuman strength and great invulnerability, attributes that grow more potent the angrier he becomes. Hulk is the alter ego of Bruce Banner, a socially withdrawn and emotionally reserved physicist who physically transforms into the Hulk under emotional stress and other specific circumstances at will or against it; these involuntary transformations lead to many complications in Banner's life. When transformed, the Hulk often acts as a disassociated personality separate from Banner.
Over the decades of Hulk stories, the Hulk has been represented with several personalities based on Hulk and Banner's fractured psyche, ranging from mindless savage to brilliant warrior, and Banner has taken control of the Hulk's form on occasion. Banner first transforms into the Hulk after being caught in the blast of the gamma bomb he invented while saving Rick Jones, a youth who had wandered onto the testing range.
Powers and Statistics
Tier: High 5-A. Likely 4-B when sufficiently enraged
Name: Robert Bruce Banner; The Incredible Hulk; The Green Scar; The Sakaarson; The Worldbreaker
Origin: Marvel Comics
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown at time of death
Classification: Human Mutate
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Regeneration (Mid-High. His future self, the Maestro, eventually regenerated from being blown to powder), multiple personalities that make him highly resistant to psychic attacks and soul-based attacks, mystic senses (He can perceive spirits), his strength and general power levels are directly proportional to his anger, or, as the old saying goes, "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets", can create massive shock waves with thunderclaps, as Banner he has a genius intellect that can create incredibly advanced technologies, can absorb dark magic and dimensional nexus energies to grow stronger, immune to nuclear and radiation-based attacks and can absorb their power, extremely resistant to transmutation and other such matter manipulation powers, can touch energy as if it were solid and tangible, limited Reactive Evolution (His body has adapted to breathing underwater), resistant to unwilling teleportation
Attack Potency: Dwarf Star level (He caused this much destruction in his clash against Red She-Hulk). Likely increases to Solar System level when sufficiently enraged (He has consistently been portrayed as comparable to Thor, has matched the full power of The Sentry, and empowered a force field that temporarily halted the Celestial Exitar, who was much larger than the Earth)
Speed: Massively FTL+ Combat speed and Reactions (Scaling from Thor. Has also consistently shown to keep up with Sentry, Gladiator, Hyperion, and Silver Surfer)
Lifting Strength: Stellar. Increases exponentially with rage (Capable of supporting the weight of a star, holding tectonic plates together, lifting and throwing mountains, pushed a 10x stronger than normal warrior's madness Thor towards the ground with one arm, separated spheres of matter and anti-matter, etc.)
Striking Strength: Class XGJ (Capable of creating earthquakes across the entire Eastern Seaboard with a mere footstep, smashing asteroids and planetoids to pieces, has destroyed planets, and broken through planet-moving energies). Likely increases to Class XPJ when sufficiently enraged (Physically overpowered Onslaught, matched the full power of the Sentry, and has overpowered Thor on various occasions).
Durability: Dwarf Star level. Likely increases to Solar System level when enraged (Among other things, he has withstood magical energy measured as 100 times stronger than Hercules' most powerful blows). Regeneration makes him extremely difficult to kill, as his healing factor was once depicted as powerful enough to bring his future "Maestro" self back to life from being reduced to powder.
Stamina: As long as he remains angry, it is virtually limitless
Range: Extended melee range due to his size, thunderclaps can reach up to Kilometers in every direction, by attacking the ground he can reach potential Planetary range
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: As Hulk, most incarnations are not very bright, but capable of surprisingly clever battle tactics. World War Hulk has adult human - level intelligence and is even more clever in battle. As Banner, he is one of the most brilliant scientists on Marvel earth, rivaling the likes of Tony Stark, and Reed Richards. Banner is recognized as THE premier expert on radiation. Claimed to be one of the eight smartest people on Earth. When in an intelligent stare of mind, he is proficient in martial arts, due to training from Iron Fist.
Weaknesses: If he is not sufficiently enraged, he transforms back to Bruce Banner, with only base human stats (although he has shown the ability to maintain the transformation in varying emotional states), and can be KO'd depending on the circumstances.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Thunderclap: A term used to refer to a large shock wave created by a character with sufficient, superhuman strength violently clapping their hands together. These attacks can be incredibly destructive and lethal, sometimes equaling nuclear bombs or hurricanes.
- The Hulk causing a multiversal earthquake, destroying a pocket universe, and having his power measured as infinite by the Pre-Retcon Beyonder are generally considered as outliers. If they were not, he would have been considered as High 3-A at his peak. That said, his power level per definition depends on his rage, so it isn't completely certain.
- Before making any changes to this page, please read the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.

Before the world knew her as Madonna, the one-named pop star who transformed the entertainment industry, a 24-year-old Madonna Louise Ciccone invited photographer Richard Corman to her Lower East side apartment for a photo shoot.
Iconic photographer Richard Corman remembers the first time he met Madonna. He told Rolling Stone magazine…
"[It was] in the summer of 1982 at her apartment on the Lower East Side. Prior to entering the building, I had to call her from a phone booth from across the street as she let me know, under no uncertain terms, that I was not to enter the building without her alerting all of the tenants due to a lot of illegal activity going on, on the stoop and on the ground floor – which she had no part in."
Once inside, the burgeoning pop star offered him black coffee and gum on a silver-plated tray. "That was the introduction," he recalled. "A few minutes later, we were moving about her apartment and I was photographing her in her kitchenette, at the stove, on her desk chair."
One enticing photo shows Madonna pouting prettily from a bench, sandwiched between a row of bemused eldery locals. Another portrays the denim-clad singer on a rooftop, hanging with some kids who are trying endearingly hard to look tough for the camera. This type of cross-generational camaraderie was an everyday thing for Madge, according to Corman. "She was absolutely the pied piper of the neighborhood, and all of the kids sang and danced with her on the rooftop almost daily. She carried her boombox up to the roof – the kids would hear the music playing and run upstairs to dance with her as she sang and listened to her demo tapes."
Corman added, "Today, there would be an entourage of about 30 people around her. Back then, it was just her and I. It was simple; it was poignant. It felt like we captured something that was genuine."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Julian BrookesMar. 14, 2006 4:39 PM
Looks like there might be something to this global warming stuff after all. Here's AP:
TORONTO The winter of 2005-06 has been Canada's warmest on record and the federal agency Environment Canada said Monday that it was investigating whether it was a sign of global warming.
From December through February, which is considered meteorological winter, the country was 3.9 degrees above normal the warmest winter season since temperatures were first recorded here in 1948.
Environment Canada climatologist Bob Whitewood said it smashed the previous record set in 1987 by 0.9 degrees.
....Whitewood said the last 10 winters had been warmer than normal and along with this winter reflect a trend that could be explained as global warming.
Hmm, yes, I can see how he might infer that.
Hockey-playing Canadians are said to be "disappointed" about thinner ice. No comment from the thousands of pregnant seals "forced to give birth on shore by unusually mild weather that has prevented the Gulf of St. Lawrence from freezing."
Apropos, it's been at least a day since we last drew attention to this Mother Jones story about the plight of adorable polar bears doomed to (probable) extinction thanks to pollution and global warming. (Their Arctic home is literally melting beneath their feet.)
In other climate change news, NASA has roused itself long enough to tout a survey it says confirms "climate warming is changing how much water remains locked in Earth's largest storehouses of ice and snow." The story has an agency researcher noting an "internal NASA change...to allow scientists greater freedom." Which, if true--and don't count on it--will be quite the cultural shift.
Diane E. DeesMar. 14, 2006 11:45 AM
At the end of last year, National Security Advisor Stehpen Hadley did some word tinkering with the "Adjunctive Guidelines for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Information." The result is that the government now has broader, vaguer power to deny information to those seeking it. The overall change puts emphasis on loyalty to the U.S. government, and allows those holding information to look at various "suspect" factors rather than singling out a specific violation as grounds for denying classified information. It also places particular burdens on gay citizens that did not exist before.
For example, in addition to the already existing requirements for U.S. loyalty--things such a voting in a foreign election or expressing a desire to divest oneself of American citizenship--the new version says that the vocalization of allegiance to another country disqualifies a person from receiving information.
Under the category of "personal conduct," Hadley has added:
Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include: credible adverse information that is not explicitly covered under any other guideline and may not be sufficient by itself for an adverse determination, but which, when combined with all available information supports a whole-person assessment of questionable judgment, untrustworthiness, unreliability, lack of candor, unwillingness to comply with rules and regulations, or other characteristics indicating that the person may not properly safeguard protected information.
Deliberately providing "false or misleading" information to an employer could also disqualify a person from receiving classified information under the revised guidelines.
And under "psychological conditions," there is a definition of "adverse behavior":
Behavior that casts doubt on an individual's judgment
that is not covered under any other guideline" is now a condition that could render an individual unfit for approval.
However, a former sentence that would permit access to be denied because of "reliable, unfavorable information from neighbors or coworkers" has been removed.
In the area of leaks, the earlier version of the document listed one condition that could arouse a security concern; the current version lists nine, many of which are related to computer technology, and some of which are related to efforts to gain information "outside one's need to know."
The 1997 version stated that sexual orientation "may not be used" to disqualify applicants, but Hadley's new version states that clearances cannot be denied "solely on the basis of the sexual orientation of the individual." Also, the 1997 version eliminated "adverse sexual behavior" from disqualifying an individual if the behavior was "not recent." However, the new version states that the behavior cannot be used for disqualification if it "happened so long ago, so infrequently, and under such unusual circumstances, that it is unlikely to recur."
In the "criminal conduct" section of the document, Hadley has removed the word "acquittal" from a list of factors to be considered in granting access to information. He has also added discharge from the military "under dishonorable conditions" as a reason to deny access. And though it was removed in the past, Hadley has re-instated the abuse of prescription drugs after a prolonged illness as a reason to deny access.

20% of hospitals in Connecticut do not routinely offer contraceptives to all rape victims, but there is now a pending proposal that would make it illegal to not offer them. Rape counseling activists argue that not only should all hospitals provide contraception to rape victims, but that making women who are already traumatized go to another hospital or pharmacy to get them is contributing to their trauma.
The state has four Catholic hospitals which are, of course, opposed to offering contraception of any kind. What makes the Connecticut conflict interesting is that the state's Victim Advocate, James F. Papillo, is a Catholic, and is opposed to the proposed legislation, which he calls an "attack on religious freedom." Papillo's remarks resulted in calls for his resignation and also a reprimand from Connecticut governor M. Jodi Rell. But--stay with me here--Rell has also said publicly that she is not sure the legislation is necessary.
To make matters even more interesting, Democratic senator Joe Lieberman has spoken out against the legislation, saying that he believes that hospitals who refuse to provide contraception "for principled reasons" should not be forced to do so. "In Connecticut," he said, "It shouldn't take more than a short ride to get to another hospital."

Eric Reeves looks at two recent developments that will "accelerate the genocide" in Darfur:
First, the African Union decided not to turn over the task of securing the region to the United Nations for at least another six months. The African Union, out of its depth in Darfur, has proven unable to stop the genocide; and there is little reason to believe it can do any better in the months to come.
Second, Jan Egeland, head of U.N. humanitarian operations, explained to his colleagues that humanitarian efforts in Darfur are facing a major shortfall in funding. In an internal e-mail sent Friday to U.N. personnel, Egeland worried that "the massive gains we made on the humanitarian front over the past year will be lost, and that the tide is starting to turn against us." If the African Union's decision and Egeland's warning are any indication, the twenty-first century's first genocide will not slacken any time soon. On the contrary, it will grow worse.Over at his own site, Reeves has a longer analysis for those interested, which notes that "the lives of some 4 million human beings are at stake" here, as the conflict starts spilling over into Chad.

Let's see. The South Dakota GOP passed a new law criminalizing abortion in virtually all cases, including rape and incest. According to Newsweek, Republicans in Washington are terrified that when voters, who are overwhelmingly pro-choice, start looking at the South Dakota law, they'll wake up and realize that conservatives really are willing to ban abortion:

The Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities announced today that it will no longer provide adoption services in the state of Massachusetts, because it doesn't want to sanction the placement of children with same-sex couples. Over the past two decades, Catholic Charities has placed 720 children with families, 13 of which were same-sex couples. There are currently 692 kids waiting to be adopted. Despite the fact that the charity's board voted 42-0 to continue providing services, the state's four Catholic bishops overruled the decision, arguing that "gravely immoral" homosexual adoption ''would actually mean doing violence to these children."
Not everyone agrees with the bishops. Seven Catholic Charities board members resigned last week in protest, calling the bishops' ruling a contradiction of the true mission of Christianityto help those in need. Rev. J Bryan Hehir, president of Catholic Charities, acknowledged that because the world has changed since the organization began, the ministry should adapt "to meet the changing times and needs." Even Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who opposes same sex marriage, said, "It's a sad day for neglected and abandoned children. It's a mistake for our laws to put the rights of adults over the needs of children."

It's less than a hundred days until the start of the World Cup in Germany, where more than three million fans will fill the stadiums from thirty-two nations. Understandably, the host country wants to do its part to make sure its guests are comfortable. But in addition to bathrooms and food stands, German cities are also bringing in mobile brothels to accommodate the anticipated boom in the sex trade.
In addition to the registered German prostitutes who will be there, it's possible that over 40,000 women from Central and Eastern Europe will enter the country illegally to "entertain" clients. (Prostitution is legal in Germany, and all registered prostitutes are unionized and receive pensions and health benefits.) So while many women are anticipating a boom in business, critics are concerned about human trafficking and abuse, especially once fired-up soccer fans start hitting the streets after hours of drinking at the games.
European soccer games are notoriously rowdy, and often lead to disorderly and violent behavior. One need only glance at the Scotsman's regular feature, "football and sex assault claims" to get a sense of what goes on here. And while Germany is spending upwards of 20 million euros on stadium security alone, they've done little to quell fears about sex abuse beyond pledging to hand out 100,000 free condoms.

The other day, Donald Rumsfeld mentioned that he would prefer to avoid a "civil war" in Iraqright, obviouslybut that if one did "break out" (presumably he means if things got really, really bad), then the United States would stay out of it, letting Iraqi security forces "deal with it." That's not exactly comforting, and ignores the fact that U.S. forces might not be able to stay neutral. Gary Hart recently worried that if "all-out civil war breaks out, we could lose our army. If Sunnis and Shiites take to the streets by the thousands, it could literally be impossible to get [the soldiers] out."

Not to belabor this, but if your appetite for alarming environmental news wasn't sated by our special issues on global warming and, more recently, the roiling sewers that are our oceans, well, then, the LA Times has just the story for you.
Whales, walruses, seabirds and fish are struggling to survive the changing climate of the Bering Sea, their northern feeding grounds perhaps permanently disrupted by warmer temperatures and melting ice, scientists reported Thursday in the journal Science.
By pulling together a broad range of observations and surveys, an international research team concluded that it is witnessing the transformation of an entire ecosystem in a region home to almost half of U.S. commercial fish production.
Then it gets shocking.
...As sea ice diminished, breeding grounds for seals were disrupted and populations plummeted. Polar bears started to drown. Walruses, accustomed to diving in the shallows to feed along the sea bottom, found themselves adrift on broken ice floes in waters 6,500 feet deep. The animals starved.
For more on the effects of climate change on polar bears in particular--if you can take it--see this piece by Marla Cone in the current issue of Mother Jones.

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has urged the United States to "freeze," "desist" and "stop" actions or threatened actions against the Western Shoshone Peoples of the Western Shoshone Nation. This action challenges the United States' government's claim of ownership of almost 90% of Western Shoshone lands.
According to Shoshone spokeswoman Bernice Lalo:
The mines are polluting our waters, destroying hot springs and exploding sacred mountains--our burials along with them--attempting to erase our signature on the land. We are coerced and threatened by mining and Federal agencies when we seek to continue spiritual prayers for traditional food or medicine on Shoshone land.
...we have rights to protect our homelands and stop the destruction of our land, water, and air by the abuses of the United States government and the multinational corporations. He says "the situation is outrageous and we're glad the United Nations Committee agrees with us.
The land in question has been used for military testing, nuclear waste disposal planning, and open pit cyanide heap leach gold mining. The federal government has seized Shoshone livestock, issued trespass fines, and practiced armed surveillance of Western Shoshone. The Shoshone claim that the U.S. government has also dug up their ancestors' graves.

By John G
I love you. I will always love you and I will continue to love you even through our disagreements and debates. I know the recent scrutiny, the critique, and ridicule that has approach your culture and your race has caused you a stress. I know that it is hard to understand this liberal language of "systems", "oppression", "privilege", and "white culture"; and I know it may all sound like a racial attack by many of my other friends and families who are, like me, people of color. I know that you feel offended. That is why I hope that nothing I am going to say will offend you further, but I do hope that everything I will say will allow you to understand that there are some things that I've been through, things that I've experienced, things that I have yet to articulate about my past that has confirmed to me that there is something different about who I am. There is something truly racially motivated by the way I am approached by the police and the white public, there is something different about the way I am viewed in those first moments of conversation with white authority, and there is something different about being black in America. Today I will share my secrets.
As you know I was raised in a predominantly white area where terms like "privilege", "systems", "oppression", and "white culture" were as foreign to me as the actual existence of them. So I write this in those days and I tell you the truth: these stories are true. A crucial part of the black experience is having to confront the reality of your blackness as an inescapable part of your identity, and on many occasions not solidifying the connection of race consciousness and identity as quickly as you'd like. It is privilege to never have to ask along with the extraneous emotional stresses of puberty: What does it mean to be "insert racial identity here"? If you have ever asked, "What does it mean for me to be white?" then, please let me know for this letter only benefits us both through the conversation we can have from it. If you must know WHY we have to ask this question, I will tell you shortly. For blacks, the struggle to find your identity within American culture was called by W.E.B. Du Bois, "double consciousness". For me, I will call it, "the most confusing and earth shattering moment of my life." I had to ask this question very young after hearing, "I cannot date you because you are black," on multiple occasions or the chorus of racial slurs from peers who never understood the impact of their words. The relationships of your youth mean nothing more than an acceptance by another human being, and to not be accepted off the basis of something unmovable and irreplaceable effects your psyche. The racial slurs, blatant and subtle, ranging from the extremity of the word "nigger" to the ignorance of later being stripped of my blackness for being "too polite" or "too smart" to "really be black" messes up your psyche. It inevitably caused me to ask, "What does it mean for me to be black?" and I tell you the truth, in my youth, I hated it. I hated being irrevocably different. I hated having to constantly prove myself to a majority or face the consequence of being, "just like the rest of them."
I remember speaking to my brother in privacy telling him, "Maybe, they'll like me more if I act more white? I could spike my hair! I could learn to skate! I could listen to more rock! I could be like them." But, I couldn't. I couldn't be like you. I was different and it wasn't until I was forcefully separated from a middle school girlfriend by school administration because her parents didn't want her to date a black guy that I climaxed with the conflict of my race. "Why did I have to be born this way? Why did I have to be black? I wish I was white. If I was white everything would be better," I used to say this verbatim. Blackness felt like a curse, an inescapable curse and I wanted to be happy and cured from my curse. It was during the time that the school administration separated me from my then current girlfriend that I first considered suicide. The curse was escapable through death. Identity was lost, as my black skin stayed stuck and confused in a white world. I was sick of being called a nigger. I was sick of being excluded opportunity because of something that wasn't leaving. I was sick of entrapment. I was sick of being considered a threat, unacceptable, or a nigger. I dedicated myself so intensely to learning in order to counteract the "Nigger" notion, but it ultimately resulted in an immense suppression of my emotions. Whenever a white person said something racist to me, I was offered the option to get angry (like I wanted to) and confirm their idea of black people being aggressive or be silent and passive. After originally falling victim to their slurs, I chose silence. It wasn't until I began to master the words of my mother when she used to say, "Kill them with your words and your intelligence. You don't even have to put your hands on them," that I found a way to counter their words with passion and relaxation. For me being black was a two road street: be successful, smart, and influential or be a nigger. However, I never considered that I would always be a nigger first until I proved myself otherwise. My father called it, "The Two-Strike System." "Son," he used to say, "don't get in trouble. You already have two strikes against you. One, because you're black. Two, because you're black." I didn't want to believe this. I still had false hope that I was the same as you, but after being stopped and checked by the police for sitting in my the car outside of my own house for too long talking to my father and my friend (all black), I knew it had to be true or there at least had to be some truth in his words (not to mention, the arrogance at which the police spoke to us as if we were stupid). When the cops pull me over or question me, I hope I make the right moves and I hope to not be mistaken as an aggressor. It is a fear of mine. For the cops do not know anything of me when I am pulled over; the cops just know that I am black.
I must say - I have come to love me for who I am. I am black, beautiful, and intelligent with a love for Bon Iver's music just as much as Wiz Khalifa's. I have learned that to be black is to be of a social construct created by white men who enslaved my ancestors. I have learned there is no other requirement for or from my blackness, but to be who I am, and that is all. I have learned that the concept of what it means to be black for many blacks and whites alike seems to be foolishly misconstrued by media depictions and pop culture. But, I wish I can tell you that it was easy to get here. I wish I could tell that in high school I read a book from a black writer who helped me find who I was, but I never read anything written by a black person throughout the entirety of grade school except for Lorraine Hansberry A Raisin in the Sun. I wish I could tell you that I felt like my history was depicted and shared clearly and truthfully through the entirety of grade school, but I can't help but think that Martin Luther King was not the only person who fought for black freedom and equality. I wish I could tell you that coming to grips with my blackness was as easy as growing up, but coming to grips with my blackness was the greatest fight of my life. The races are separated and race is still an issue. I am thankful every day for white people like you for never looking at my skin and allowing it to be a barrier to your love and your compassion. But it is not about you alone. It is not about individuals who do care and do help and do assist in the marches – myself included. It is about something bigger than us. It's about the fact that many, many, many more white people are still contributing to a system in America where blacks are oppressed; if not physically by being gunned down, then emotionally by being told to suppress their emotions to the "proper" ways, if not emotionally then mentally by being constantly hounded by police, by being constantly seen as the Welfare Kings and Queens of America, by being constantly depicted as thugs, lazy, drug dealers, and/or simply nothing. Not everyone is contributing to that, but the mass of people are not helping. Black excitement is still seen as black ghettoness if it is not done "properly." Black anger is still seen as black niggerness if it is not done "properly", and I know because I've heard the snickers of children and I've felt the burden of keeping silent in order to not be a nigger or be ghetto.
The Civil Rights Act signed in 1964 was the year that government forced people to begin to hire, accept, and attempt to treat everyone equally regardless of race, gender, or sexuality. 1964 was just an act. A law doesn't change people, time changes people, fights change people, discussions change people, pressure changes people, death changes people, but more than all of this, love changes people, and people are changing. But, the issues are still here and alive in America. I hope you will believe me, and believe me even further when I say that I love you and I never wish to attack you personally, but I do wish to attack any system that keeps this injustice in place.
Love Always,
John G

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Detroit Pistons basketball star Richard Hamilton has filed a federal lawsuit accusing his former business manager, already at the center of recruiting allegations at the University of Connecticut, of stealing about $1 million from him.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District court in eastern Pennsylvania against 34-year-old Josh Nochimson of Glenview, Ill. It accuses Nochimson of using Hamilton's credit card to buy airline flights, game tickets and other items.
It also accuses Nochimson of using 1.4 million of Hamilton's American Express frequent flyer miles; failing to pay back $80,000 lent to Nochimson to repair a Maryland house; improperly transferring at least $3,000 from Hamilton's bank accounts into Nochimson's private account; and writing about $112,000 in unauthorized checks from Hamilton's bank account.
Hamilton is seeking more than $1 million in restitution, but his attorney, Alan Milstein, said the lawsuit is about more than that.
"It's not like Mr. Hamilton is desperate for the money," Milstein said. "Money isn't what's motivating him. It's more just a sense of betrayal and justice."
Hamilton, who is from Coatesville, Pa., filed the action in Pennsylvania because he hired Nochimson there, Milstein said.
Nochimson's attorney, Matthew Leitman, said he has not seen the lawsuit and could not comment on it.
Hamilton and Nochimson met at UConn, where Hamilton led the Huskies to a national title in 1999. Nochimson was a student manager for the team.
After Hamilton was drafted by the Washington Wizards in 1999, Nochimson tagged along, becoming his personal assistant. In exchange, Hamilton provided him a place to live, living expenses and experience that Nochimson hoped to use to begin a career in sports management, according to the lawsuit.
Hamilton later agreed to pay Nochimson $25,000 a year, then raised that to $45,000 and finally $50,000, giving Nochimson the title of business manager. As part of that job, Nochimson had access to Hamilton's bank accounts and American Express card to pay Hamilton's bills, the lawsuit said.
Nochimson also ran Hamilton's basketball camps for poor children in Pennsylvania.
"He was a friend, who Mr. Hamilton had placed a lot of trust in," Milstein said.
Hamilton alleges in the lawsuit that Nochimson began stealing from him in 2003, and ran up $85,000 in fraudulent charges between 2005 and 2008.
Milstein said Nochimson is not accused of stealing money from the basketball camps.
Nochimson was accused earlier this year of improperly helping guide basketball recruit Nate Miles to Connecticut by giving him lodging, transportation, meals and representation. The school and the NCAA are investigating those allegations.
Milstein said he doesn't know if Nochimson used Hamilton's credit card to pay for any of those expenses.
"That really doesn't play into this (lawsuit) at all," he said.
He said the credit card bills show "dinners, everything you would see on a normal American Express bill, but there was a lot of travel on there, obviously."
Milstein said Nochimson has told Hamilton that the allegations are true, but also has indicated he is broke.

Bingham McCutchen chairman Jay Zimmerman has refused to rule out a salary cut for the firm's associates.
"Whenever there's a paradigm shift like this, everything is on the table," Zimmerman said. "We're in the process right now of looking at our entire cost structure, and will continue to look at all of this in a way that makes most sense for our firm and our clients."
A reduction in associate pay, along with headcount reductions, is one of the few variables available to any law firm looking to cut costs.
The current process of assessing a potential salary cut at Bingham began around three weeks ago but, at least for the moment, Zimmerman was adamant that no decision had been taken.
Neither, he said, was he waiting for a green light in the form of a rival firm cutting associate pay.
"I've said we'll look at all of this in a way that makes most sense," he added.
Bingham, like most of its rivals, has already taken several steps to cut costs. In January it froze associate salaries, while last month it laid off 16 lawyers along with 23 support staff from across its international network.
At the time the firm said that the layoffs were part of firmwide cutbacks in Bingham's corporate practice, as a result of a reduction in the demand for the department's services.
Last week, however, Zimmerman argued that the most significant driver behind Bingham's headcount reductions was the sudden lack of natural attrition in the market and at his firm.
"When you see our layoffs, what you're primarily seeing is a reduction of our workforce that reflects the economic climate and that adjusts to the new attrition model," said Zimmerman.
"In today's market, firms have to look at the delivery of services with an eye towards maintaining quality while increasing efficiency."
Although Bingham's headcount in March was around 1 per cent down on the previous 12 months, the billable hours recorded for last month were the highest ever in the firm's history, with the firm's restructuring, insolvency and securities regulatory practices picking up the slack from the reduction in corporate instructions.
Nevertheless, the firm has yet to decide how many of the 75 summer associates it is taking on will receive offers. Traditionally in US firms, almost 100 per cent of summer associates would receive offers.

Quiet acts of humanity
take place across nation
By Craig Wilson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON One day after the worst terrorist
attack on U.S. soil, Americans began dealing with the horror, often with quiet
acts of patriotism and humanity. Millions began doing whatever it was they could
to cope, to carry on, maybe even to escape the harsh reality of the moment. The
response was more sober than angry.
They hung out the flag. Some New Yorkers and Washingtonians
flew flags on their cars as they drove to work Wednesday. Home Depot reported
brisk flag sales, the Greeley (Colo.) Tribune gave away 700 flags
in less than 24 hours, and thousands more were expected to wave Old Glory at
a community rally Wednesday night at the Bank of America Center in Boise. Tampa's
marinas were festooned in the red, white and blue.
They donated blood. America's Blood Centers reported the
blood supply was at capacity, but that didn't stop 37-year-old Boston writer
Mary Cresse from waiting five hours at Mass General to give despite the
fact she was originally told her veins were too small. "They finally got a veteran
to thump away until they were able to get a pint from me," she says.
And they prayed. The Church of Christ on Massachusetts
Avenue in Washington, D.C., put a sign out front Wednesday morning: "Church
Open for Prayer." It was a scene repeated across the country.
"I am more sad than angry. I pray for the families of the
victims and the rescuers," says Dudley Wright, fire chief at the Monroe Township
Fire Department in Johnstown, Ohio. "Praying for them will do more good than
being angry at an unknown person."
Anna Whiston, 40, a furniture refinisher, said the churches
in her hometown of Hannibal, Mo., were full Tuesday night. "A lot of people
I know are Christian people, and we're just living in a daze," she says. "I'm
trying to find out where God is in all of this. I know he's merciful. But, my
gosh, we still have enemies out there."
Americans even sang. Following the lead of congressional
members Tuesday, citizens planned to meet at their local city halls and state
capitals last night for a nationwide singalong of God Bless America and
candlelight vigil. A similar gathering was planned for the steps of the U.S.
Radio stations, serving as a forum for people to vent their
anger Wednesday, ended their hours playing patriotic music, more often than
not with God Bless America.
Arizona Sen. John McCain aptly described the national mood
Wednesday as one of "controlled fury."
"You can't even be angry, because you don't know who you're
supposed to be angry at," says Kathleen Kinan, 43, an architect in Buffalo.
"It's like cancer killing your family. You want to scream and you want retribution,
but you can't get your hands around the enemy."
Instead, Peri Pothast, 52, of Lake Oswego, Ore., spent
Wednesday putting her arms around friends and neighbors whenever she saw them.
"At the post office, I saw men who were very, very angry,
and what I've been doing is giving hugs," says Pothast, a homemaker. "I even
surprised myself. I didn't even think about it, and I got such startled reactions.
And you know what they all said? 'Thank you, I really needed that.' I didn't
have one refusal. I think it's a matter of touching each other. We need to let
each other know that we're here. I was amazed at the number of people hugging
back. They even touched their heads to mine."
Jay Spenard, 31, a financial analyst from Syracuse, N.Y.,
says Tuesday's events "made me feel like I wanted to join the military, and
I have never had those feelings before."
He wasn't alone. Recruiting stations in Bakersfield, Calif.,
reported three to four times the normal activity. At the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga,
students who had once opposed a military draft said the sight of the attacks
had changed their minds. "I'd be happy to go to the draft now," says Zach Smith,
At the sprawling Potomac Mills outlet mall south of Washington,
D.C., Marine Corps Sgt. Brent Driessen patrolled the floors in his dress blues
to attract recruitment. He says 24 hours has made a big difference in his job.
Potential recruiting targets who have turned him down in the past have been
calling him back, saying they've changed their minds. Before Tuesday, often
these were people who avoided him in the mall when they saw him in his uniform.
"I think this country is coming together from this tragedy,
believe it or not, because it's the first time since World War II somebody has
actually attacked the U.S.," Driessen says.
James Ashenberner, 20, a car salesman in Manassas, Va.,
signed up to be an Army rifleman Wednesday.
"Losing my life for the United States is no concern," he
said as he sat in the recruitment office. "I'll do it in a heartbeat."
Spenard did not join up. Instead, he went home and had
barbecued chicken with his family. "I hugged my wife and two kids and was just
thankful that we were able to be together," he says, "and I knew there were
others who would just never see their loved ones again."
Janice Watson of Boca Raton, Fla., for one.
"I'm dealing with the energy produced by my anger by working
as hard as I can to raise the standard of safety, security and survivability
for aviation passengers and to support victims' families," says Watson of the
National Air Disaster Alliance/Foundation, a non-profit organization representing
family members and victims of more than 80 plane crashes.
"I'm doing this in memory of my daughter, Jill, a 32-year-old
architect who died aboard the TWA Flight 800, which exploded off Long Island
five years ago."
Some decided to turn off the marathon of TV news and escape.
Tom Adams of Carmel Valley, Calif., a media research analyst
who tracks the video industry, watched Star Trek with his kids Tuesday
night. He says it's too early for stores to report whether there was a rush
on patriotic movies or escapist fare.
TLA Video, an independent video sales and rental chain,
however, reported that customers are wanting "mindless stuff like Dude, Where's
My Car?"
"They were looking for metro-plex comedies," says TLA spokesman
Andy Preis.
Others canceled their upcoming weekend plans, saying this
was not a time for frivolity. For the first time in 19 years, a dozen women
from nine states who gather yearly to celebrate getting older decided to forgo
their reunion this year in Smith Mountain, Va.
"This is a weekend to mourn, not celebrate," say Bonnie
Rabert of St. Simons Island, Ga.
Jon Tveite, a writing tutor at Kansas State in Manhattan,
Kan., would like it if, in fact, more people were not reacting at all today.
He thinks it's time for Americans to pause for some serious thought.
"I'm very concerned about our response. I don't see any
sign from my government that they will engage in introspection," he says. "It
would be nice if people would spend some time thinking before reacting. We have
the hit-back response, but it won't do the situation any good at this point."
Despite the surreal calmness enveloping the country, Frank
Farley, former president of the American Psychological Association, sees a rough
road ahead. "The nation will have an enormously difficult time with this," he
"It will change the psychological landscape of this country
for years to come and raise our level of fear. Fear is contagious. Fear can
become an epidemic."
Most Americans Wednesday, however, had no doubt that the
country will weather this storm.
"This tragedy will only bring Americans closer together,"
says Scott Woehrle, 28, an internal audit manager from Fort Worth.
"This attack, while devastating, will not break our spirit
or end our way of life. When the responsible parties are uncovered, they will
see just how strong the American resolve is."

For any Sydney-siders who were a little saddened by the news late last year that Central Station Records was to become yet another victim of the global economic crisis, here's some good news. MoS and its mum, Universal Music, have taken on board the Sydney record stalwart, which has been responsible for more than 30 years' worth of awesome dance releases. The first release will be Skitz Mix 30, due out later in the month, plus a Wild compilation - just like old times! Stay tuned for new CSR news.

"Sorry to ruin the mood..."
Tyler started blabbering on and on about the letter in which I told him to get over it. While the gate was slowly opening. I saw somebody conversing with the guard. The next thing I knew, that person was in the group of Tyler and me. It freaked me out, but I didn't jump like Tyler. It was a little girl, maybe somewhere between thirteen or fourteen. She had an umbrella that she was twisting around for fun. She wore such clothing that I couldn't comprehend. Most pirates would wear a ruffled white shirt. It was covered over with a dark crimson coat that went all the way down to her knees. All that was left was her shorts matching the color of her shirt and red boots. I didn't know why she needed an umbrella when she was wearing a hat. I don't get it.
Closing her umbrella and taking off her hat to reveal a semi-long auburn hair. Striking the tip of her umbrella on the ground, she said, "Hello, cousin."
I definitely wasn't her cousin. So I looked at Tyler and for the first time, I saw a fear that was never shown on his face. From what I knew of him, he wasn't afraid of anything. But this girl… was she who he was talking about? His fingers shivered, lips trembled, and pupils wavered. It made me curious to why she was so scary. To me, she was just a typical child. Kind of.
The girl didn't wait for Tyler to reply, and she just went on to me. "You must be who Tyler spoke of… Vallerie?"
"It's Valiant," I corrected.
"Ah, I'm sorry," she chuckled. "Valiant. The name is, well, you can just call me Monday."
"… Monday? The bestselling author, Monday?"
"Yes." She nodded. Jotting her head up to the sky, and then around the campus, she said, "I used to go to St. Arkive, and I quite miss the days here."
"You were a student here?" I asked, taking a peak at Tyler who was in a frozen state.
"I am. I graduated two years ago at the age of eleven."
Thirteen years old, finished one of the best academies there was, and already famous. What was Tyler doing? "Is everybody in the Varando family this smart?"
Monday laughed. "If only, it'd be so much easier. We are, however, a family of hard workers. This was how we gained our status."
I was actually learning more from Monday than Tyler about the Varando family altogether. After a while, Monday decided to bring her attention back to her cousin. A cold sweat dripped down his cheek. "Don't worry, cousin, I am just here to see who your precious friend is."
"You leave her out of this," he snarled, finally bringing up his courage to talk.
"And do you think a degenerate like you can tell me what to you?" her attitude quickly change. Her glare pierced right through him like a knife. That word 'degenerate' appeared to hurt him the most. "You're lucky that Father decided to listen to me and spare you. In other words, your life belongs to me and I can take you out at any time. So don't you dare speak to me like this!"
Sorry to ruin the mood, but she sounded like a spoiled child. Sorry. She didn't scare me one bit, only bringing my anger mood up. Sighing, I decided to leave them alone. Although it didn't work since Monday left when I did and Tyler had time to catch up. He wasn't in the mood anymore, and his sullen face made me smile. I couldn't help it. Walking Tyler back to his dorm, I waved him goodbye after.

I'm all about revolvers these days and I have nothing but praise for my LCR.
This is a discussion on LCR in .357 or CM9? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I would like to pick something up that will fill the gap between my G26 and my p3at. While I can carry my G26 about ...
I would like to pick something up that will fill the gap between my G26 and my p3at. While I can carry my G26 about 75 percent of the time with no issues it would be nice to have something a bit smaller and lighter for occasional carry. I'm drawn to the LCR because of the .357 round but I appreciate the faster reloads and 2 more rounds in the CM9. Both guns weight about the same but the CM9 is a bit thinner. Another bonus of the CM9 would be that it shares ammo with all the rest of my current defensive pistols (minus my p3at) but the LCR would share ammo with the lever action that it would give me an excuse to buy. Overall, I like both. What do you think?
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
I'm all about revolvers these days and I have nothing but praise for my LCR.
I went with the revolver although it wasn't the Ruger. Although a revolver can malfunction, it eliminates common problems like failure to feed and failure to eject. A .357 in a light weight gun is a bear to shoot, but I didn't buy it for a range gun. When it positively has to be concealed and still has to be large enough to get the job done, the little revolver is my choice.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
If you are going to get a snubby pass on the Ruger and get a S&W. I have now seen two of these LCR's cracked at my local range.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
I have the LCR .357. I use the boot grip for better concealment and have ruled out the stouter loads with this grip since they are just too punchy. I've been trying to save up for a CM9 but my funds keep getting robbed by various home and auto priorities. I view the CM9 as "more pocketable" than the LCR.
C hawk Glock, I'd be curious for some more information on the cracked LCRs.
Rollo - You posted on my "Getting off the Pocket 9mm Merry Go Round" thread, so I know you've read of my experience at this.
I would suggest you consider the LCR in .38 Spl, and load it up with SWCs in 158 gr weight. You don't even really need to use +P. What you gain with the .357 out of a snubbie you lose in excessive flash, bang, recoil, and slower follow-up shots.
IIRC, you used to carry a SP101, so carrying a revolver at times instead of the Glock will be familiar to you. The LCR just weighs a whole lot less!
Keep your P3at, and use it as your "NY reload" when you carry the revolver.
JMHO. Good luck!
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
Never used the high power loads in my LCR .357; found that, for me, the .38's were plenty good--- especially after I tried the .357 round TWICE!. Then I added a Variant spring loaded speed loader from bobmac.com, made in Germany, and I was good to go.
Chicken Little? Who the heck is Chicken Little? And what does she know, anyway?!
" The will of the majority, the natural law of every society, is the only sure guardian of the rights of man." Thomas Jefferson.
I truly love the Ruger LCR's. I chose the 38 over the 357 because it is 3oz lighter. I also have the LCR with the front night sight and the tamer boot grips. I also have my P3AT like you and I have a G27 instead of a G26. The Ruger mostly gets carried when I need deap concealment. Can't say much good about the CM9 except it is light and small. I sold mine after having it for less than two weeks.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Even though I have a fully functional PM9 I would suggest the LCR 357 and try it with 357 rounds, if you do not like it, then just use .38's in it. Plus with it being 3 ounces heavier than the regular LCR 38 special will help even more. I hope this helps. God Bless
Have you ever compared a G26 and an LCR side by side? Not much difference in size and thickness. If you're truly looking for a size of pistol between the G26 and P3AT, the CM9 is the answer. I have the LCP, PM9 and the G26 as well as a 442 in my pocket carry rotation. The PM9 get the lion's share of carry time with G26 next...
"We Dare Defend Our Rights", Alabama State Motto...
i bought the lcr in .38 cal last summer,just wanted something with a little more punch then my lcp..at the time,i also considered the cm9 and lc9 but ended up buying the lcr..main reason for me was the weight differance,i like pocket carrying and the lcr in .38 weighed only 13.50 ozs..as far as the lcr.357 vs .38 i'd recommend just loading the lcr.38 with +p loads and save yourself the extra 4 oz
Out of the 2 I would go with the LCR but in 38 spl. Even shooting full mag loads in the S&W m19 I have is a handful and the noise, flash and kick well not pleasant.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza
The next time you crave pizza, try this healthy low-carb option with cauliflower, which adds a mild flavor and texture to your pizza crust. Some grocery stores now carry bags of fresh cauliflower crumbles, which allow you to skip the time-consuming step of processing.
- Prep
- 30 min.
- Serves
- 5
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a pencil and bowl, draw five 6- to 7-inch circles, spacing each at least 2 inches apart, on the parchment. Turn parchment sheets over. Set aside.
- Place cauliflower, half at a time, in food processor. Cover and process until it reaches fine rice-like consistency. Remove from processor. Transfer 2 cups of processed cauliflower to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 8 minutes or until tender, stirring once or twice. If necessary, pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Cool. Repeat with 2 more cups of processed cauliflower.
- In a large bowl, combine egg and cheese blend. Stir in cauliflower, combining well. Divide cauliflower mixture into five portions. Spread each portion into a circle on the parchment. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until firm in center and light golden brown.
- Spoon pizza sauce on each cauliflower crust; top with mozzarella slices. Return to oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil and honey. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to coat. Top each pizza with arugula mixture. If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper.

Susy Siegele and Michael Haley |
Lizards Interpreting . . .
Susy Siegele
born 1953
|Biography How To Ask the Artist
Susy Siegele and Michael Haley have been working with colored clay since 1976 when they became interested in developing colored clay bodies while they were ceramics students of J. Brough Miller at Texas Women's University. Michael did his Master's of Fine Arts thesis using colored clay in the raku technique at about the same time Susy began experimenting with a series of colored porcelain bodies for high-fired work. They soon began marketing laminated colored porcelain dinnerware, which continues to be the mainstay of their business.
Besides giving workshops for other potters, Susy and Michael volunteer their time to do clay, papermaking, and drawing classes for the local elementary schools and Headstart program. Their pieces are in the collections of all the Russian cosmonauts who have orbited the Earth.
Nearly all of their work is slab constructed although they spent a couple of years doing wheel-thrown wood-fired pieces in the late 1970's while Michael was employed at a living history museum in Dallas recreating late 19th century salt glazed utilitarian ware. They are still under the influence of woodfiring, although it is now used only during the later stages of the firing process (from 1600 degrees through 2400 degrees) to take advantage of the flashing and consistent temperature and reduction that wood affords.
Although they have experimented with ceramic stains, the colorants they consistently use are raw oxides which are pugged into the clay body. Currently they are mixing about thirty shades of porcelain containing various amounts of red and yellow iron, cobalt, chrome, and granular ilmenite. These clays are stacked, sliced, extruded, or otherwise manipulated as they are constructed into loaves that weigh up to two hundred pounds, which are then sliced into thin slabs from which dinnerware is made.
Where do you get the ideas for your work?
Do you work alone on your craft, or with others?
Do you ever teach, or take on apprentices?
What's the most exciting part of creating your works?
What's the most difficult part of creating your works?

No liability for Australian subsidiary for offshore website - .PDF file.
The Federal Court has dismissed defamation and discrimination claims against Google Australia Pty Ltd finding that Google Australia has no ability to control or manage the Google search engine. The case was Rana v Google Australia Pty Ltd [2013] FCA 60. This case also examines the liability of technology intermediaries, and highlights the lack of clarity in the law of defamation as it relates to search engines, and the hosting of third-party websites and blogs.
The Plaintiff, Mr Rana, claimed damages from Google Australia and Google Inc. for publishing discriminatory and defamatory material. The statements in question were authored by another respondent, Nina Gregurev.
The adverse statements questioned the honesty, mental health and financial state of Mr Rana. Mr Rana claimed Google Australia and Google Inc. were liable for defamation for hosting the relevant websites and making the material available through Google search engine results…

That was sarcastic, BTW. Fairly uncommon. The automatic-fire (not the sarcasm). I'm sure S&W will take care of you.

BATF agent, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
S&W has great customer service. I'll bet they take care of the problem without any hassle.
An individual CAN ship and receive firearms through the mail. The link you posted clearly states that. I took a rifle to my post office, declared it as a firearm, the postmaster inspected to be sure it was unloaded, and I shipped it to the manufacturer for repair. I've never attempted to ship a handgun.
There is some right and wrong here.
It is Post Office "regulation" that wont allow handguns to be shipped by a private citizen, not ATF Regulation. The Post Office used to do it, then they got tired of messing with it so they quit doing it.
Fed EX or UPS has no issues with shipping a firearm for repair by a private individual as long as it goes back to the factory or to an FFL.
Back on topic, +1 for taking the precaution of sending it back to the factory. Smith and Wesson's customer service is top notch.
Actually I do hold a SLED card, I am not an FFL, but I do have the FFL form given to me by my local FFL for sending and receiving a firearm.
My recommendation is to do your own research on what you can and cannot do where you live. Don't listen to every Internet expert's opinion and get yourself in trouble as a result, OP.
I've had a .40 S&W P99 since they were introduced (or right after the first Daniel Craig James Bond Movie!)
I have also had the "full auto" treatment. It only happens with cautious new shooters. I agree that it's a combo of a limp wristed shooter and a death grip on the trigger. I have tried to duplicate it but cannot.
BTW, I love this gun. I have Beretta's, Rugers, 1911's and this is by far my favorite.
I guess the P in P99 is what everyone does when the gun seems to rip off a burst

The problem of how to obtain a hyperboliccomplexification of a Hopf algebra from two known Hopfalgebras is discussed. We prove that this Hopf algebrais isomorphic to a direct sum of the two known Hopf algebras, and that therefore this direct sum isalso a Hopf algebra. In particular, the result can beapplied to quantum enveloping algebras.
