During the years of prosperity, countries like Great Britain and Ireland welcomed foreign workers to handle the dirty jobs economically advanced societies prefer not to engage in. However, the Irish inhabitants of Northern Ireland apparently are becoming angry at strangers who linger in their midst and can serve as a focal point for the frustrations arising from an economic recession. About a hundred Romanians were forced to flee from their homes and seek shelter in a Belfast church hall after a group of youths raising Nazi salutes thought it was amusing to pick on defenseless people. The Northern Ireland government condemned the attackers as "racist criminals" but they are simply reflecting anger that accompanies loss of jobs.
Many of the Romanians told authorities they may prefer going home in order to avoid being around such criminals. We can expect more such attacks in the future, not only in Northern Ireland, but in many European Union nations.

Still stuck with no spark. Without a scope I can't determine if the crank position sensor or DME is bad. Since the fuel injectors are clicking and the wiring checks out I'm putting my money on the CPS.
I went to my local pull-a-part and checked over a half dozen BMW's for CPS/TDC/Speed Sensors. Every single one was missing. I'm not about to run to advance and pay $100 for a darn magnet with some wires coming off it when there are plenty of junk e30s.
Heres a shot of the hood. The rest of the car looks like this except the trunk/roof. It's gonna take A LOT of elbow grease to get it shining right again.
The good news is after 7 hours with rags and 1/2 a bottle of Ultimate Compound I was able to take make the trunk look a lot better. You can see the trunk edge in this photo I posted earlier. You can see in the original picture that the clear coats going. Those lines near the edge of the trunk aren't where the clear coats starting to go, its all that was left on there.
Unfortunately the paint on the roof is pretty much gone. Pretty sure I'm polishing the primer at this point. Worse comes to worse I'll spray the pillars and roof in plasticoat. Progress so far:

I called and set up a consult with Dr. Meade and he not only made me feel comfortable, he made me fell like his goal was not to please himself, but to make sure the outcome pleased me. I must also say I did go for a second opinion only to find there was no comparison. I did call to set up a surgery appointment with Dr. Meade and still today have no regrets. One of my first experiences after surgery I will never forget is my husband and I were at a high school football game one Friday night and my husband put his arm around me. I noticed he was rubbing my ribs below my breasts and commented, "It's been a long time since I felt ribs there, I generally use to hit your breast instead". My request to Dr. Meade was to put my breasts back on my chest where they belong and get them off my stomach and that he did. It has been 6 months now since my surgery and i can't tell you the difference I see when I look in the mirror. I have no regrets at all.
The last thing I would want to tell anyone this is looking for a surgeon, "You will not be disappointed if you make your appointment with Dr. Ricardo Meade".

Leaving Peru... and Passing through BA
Lima, Peru and Buenos Aires, Argentina (first pass):
01.23.2013 - 01.27.2013
View Kirkwood Adrift on mcpherson.nyc's travel map.
Lima. Luckily, Ryan shares an appreciation for my favorite activity in a new foreign city: a bike tour. As we took the cab from the airport to the hotel, it became clear that Lima has huge traffic problems. Lima is a city with over 10 million people (a third of the population of Peru), and there is limited public transportation (one north-south route of overcrowded buses). There was a constant cacophony of honking horns throughout the city. I thought my favorite activity would wind up getting us hurt with the insane traffic, but it turned out to be really enjoyable. Lima has beaches along the Pacific Ocean, and guests at our hotel had their own surf boards. Our tour mainly went along the beachfront neighborhoods of Miraflores, Barranco and Chorrillos. Over the three-hour tour our guide Jose shared with us a lot of information about the history of Lima and his personal experiences growing up in a constantly-changing city. The past 150 years has seen Peru/Lima experience a number of political revolutions, two catastrophic earthquakes, a war with neighboring Chile (partly over the "guano" riches and mining resources that Bolivia and Peru had access to) that saw Miraflores, Chorrillos and much of Peru nearly removed from the map and tragic attacks throughout the county by the Sendero Luminosa ("Shining Path") neo-communist group. This nearly-constant change throughout the country has left it in a decidedly "developing" state, but our experiences in Lima and Cusco left us with the sense that Peruvians are confident their worst days are behind them.
In typical McPherson fashion, we had to try the best culinary experience in Lima that we could afford. Ryan found a restaurant called PeScados Capitales that was well-reviewed on TripAdvisor. PeScados Capitales' name is a play on the "Seven Deadly Sins" and we got a kick out of their James Joyce quote introducing the menu: "Dios ha hecho los alimentos y el diablo, la sal y las salsas" ("God has made the food and the devil, the salt and sauces.") The ceviche mixta (sea snails, octopus, sole, shrimp – and of course sweet potatoes) was incredible, and we had to try the Pisco Sours that Peru is famous for. The Pisco Sour tasted like a Margarita to me, and I understood after having one what the hype was all about. Apparently, Chile likes to claim that they created the Pisco Sour, but Peruvians tell us that it was the opposite. Unrelated to any fancy dining, Ryan also developed an addiction to "Inca Cola" while in Lima and is concerned about going without it for the rest of the trip.
On our final day in Lima, we travelled into the city center and headed to the Plaza de San Martin and the Plaza de Armas. The Plaza de San Martin is a memorial square built to honor Jose de San Martin – who, along with Simon Bolivar is credited as being one of the "liberators" of South America. In the Plaza de Armas, the only structure that has survived the numerous earthquakes and widespread violence since the 16th century is the central fountain. This area was the center of a continent-wide empire ruled by the Spanish. We visited the Monasterio de San Francisco, a bright yellow Franciscan monastery and church. The main reason for visiting this church was Ryan's fascination with the catacombs underground. There are an estimated 70,000 people buried under the church. Most of the dead were one-time parishioners of the church, but several local saints are buried there as well. There were leg bones, hips and skulls everywhere once you go under the church area. In my opinion, it was super-creepy, but fascinating at the same time. Unfortunately, no photography was allowed on the tour, and Ryan could not use his skills to capture the catacombs.
Random travel note: So, everyone who travels extensively has to be flexible and ready to accept delays. I am including this part because I think it is funny. Since Ryan's other home is the Marriott during the year, he is a platinum member. We arrived at the JW in Lima looking like scruffy backpackers, and the front desk said if we waited an hour they would upgrade us to a suite with a jacuzzi overlooking the Pacific on the 24th floor. Awesome! After that encounter we walked around trying to find a Laundromat to drop off our clothes. Well, no place nearby could get our clothing back to us within the time frame that we were in Lima… so we turned our suite into a Laundromat. We used the jacuzzi as our washing machine. I don't think any other guest has used the gorgeous suite to clean clothes. I think the suite we stayed in was bigger than our home in Atlanta. The panoramic views of the ocean were breathtaking. When I called to ask for a late check-out, the front desk asked me if 8pm was okay. What?!?... Who has ever heard of such a late check out!? Well, our luck ran out there. We travelled to the airport to fly to Buenos Aires and our 11:30pm flight got changed to 8am the next day and we were put up at a not-so-hot hotel near Plaza de San Martin for our last night in Lima. Travelling is full of all sorts of challenges and surprises. After Buenos Aires, our spoiled, 5-star, used-to-royal-treatment selves are dropping down to hostel status.
Buenos Aires. If you attempt to do word association with Buenos Aires (or Argentina), you might come up with: tango, beef, financial crisis and Evita Peron. If you follow football (soccer) as well, you would potentially include Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. Luckily, in our first pass in Buenos Aires we experienced all of those things in one day. I have taken the bike tours up a level and found an all-day ultimate tour through Biking Buenos Aires.
Considering we took this 8 hour biking excursion on a Sunday, it made travelling through the capital safe due to light traffic. Currently, Buenos Aires is trying to implement more biking paths and there are companies that offer rentals to locals (similar to Capital bike share in D.C.)
We met our tour guide Koi and four other bikers from around the world and headed on our exploration of the beautiful Argentine capital. After a brief visit in San Telmo (the once home to BA's wealthy elite – before yellow fever took care of that) our first stop was La Bombonera Stadium (home to the "Boca Juniors") in the working-class neighborhood of La Boca. Notice in the picture that the Coca Cola sign is black instead of Red. The team's colors are blue and yellow while their rival, River Plate's (aka "los Millionaires") colors are red and white. Obviously, no advertising on their building can have the other team colors!
Our next stop was the Caminito in the heart of La Boca. There were colorful buildings, artists selling paintings and tango dancers waiting to dance for tips. According to local legend, Carlos Gardel deserves credit for taking tango from the streets of La Boca to the rest of the world, becoming the first international tango star. Oddly enough, one popular theory re: the development of the dance is that it was originally performed with just men as a means of demonstrating their masculinity.
Our next main stop on the bike tour was the Puerto Madero, but before arriving in Puerto Madero our tour stopped by a memorial being constructed for "the disappeared" – victims of Argentina's "Guerra Sucia" (Dirty War) from the late-70s and early-80s when the military ruled the country and over 30,000 citizens were "disappeared" any time they were perceived to speak out against the government.
Puerto Madero houses BA's most expensive real estate (like $2,500 USD/sq mtr). After Puerto Madero, our journey took us through a neighboring ecological park before we stopped at a parilla (steak restaurant) for a lunch of roasted pork sandwiches and sidra (alcoholic apple cider)! The afternoon highlights consisted of seeing a "city for the dead" at the Cementerio de la Recoleta. Koi told us that if you wanted your family to reside in the cemetery, it cost 5 million for the first 10 years plus expensive payments thereafter every ten years. I would not want to be in charge of those accounting books. Apparently, if your family can't pay, the bodies and coffins are moved to the BA community cemetery. Evita Peron's (maiden name – Duarte) grave is here and there were fresh flowers and pictures from children around her grave. After walking through the second cemetery in a few days, we enjoyed an uplifting tango street performance in the park followed by a local tea drink (Yerba Matte – served over iced pineapple juice in the summer) as an afternoon energy drink.
Back on our bikes, we stopped briefly at a memorial for soldiers killed in the (73-day long) Falkland Islands War in 1983 before we headed to the Plaza de Mayo. This is the nerve center of the city but also home to most of its social protests today. Plaza de Mayo's place as a site of accepted civil disobedience dates back to the "Guerra Sucia" when Los Madres de la Plaza de Mayo began protesting there. "Los Madres" were a group of mothers whose children had been "disappeared." They would show up every day and silently march in circles holding pictures of their missing children demanding answers from the government. To this day, many of them still march every Thursday as several of them still have no answers to what happened to their children.
There is an obelisk built in the center to mark the first anniversary of BA's independence from Spain. Taking up the east side of the Plaza de Mayo is the pink façade of Casa Rosada. Currently President Christina Kirchner's offices are here – but until the 2001 financial crisis this is where all the Presidents lived. As such, this is where most all of BA's famous political speeches were delivered to the masses, including where Evita and Juan Peron would address the people from the balcony. Even though I am a terrible singer, I was inspired to sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" a few times yesterday.
Lastly, I want to point out that our guide showed us that when the financial system crashed, some locals took their frustrations out by shooting at the Ministry of Finance building. As we rode by on our bikes, we noticed that you could still see the bullet holes in the building.
If you travel to Buenos Aires, we would totally recommend doing a bike tour. It was a great way to learn about the city, and see the sites. The only downfall is having a bit of a sore butt…

I realized, though, my musical memory is endless, each recollection better than the one before, so many stories that spring up from hearing even a two second scrap of a tune. Music, for those who love it, resides in what the soul must be. And the knowledge that one possesses of their musical past and how it has built towards their ever-living, always sound-tracked present, has to reside somewhere deep in the physiology, someplace close to the DNA, the stuff that makes us who we are.
We eventually got around to the White Album and then, because I wasn't really as singularly obsessed with music as David, I took us out to play war in the construction site nearby and David eventually, incensed and bored, stalked off and went back to my house. My mother had to take him home. It was a great day, one that sparked my musical journey, despite David not wanting to be my friend anymore (he was really offended at the joy I took rolling around in the dirt, shooting a fake machine gun and running myself through freshly hung drywall in effort to emulate fabulous special effects like in the movies). A great day, but one that in retrospect shows me that perhaps even at that age, I was already lacking any kind of particular, obsessive focus that if I had may have led me down a very different path in life. David might have become a rock star for all I know—he had the singularity of mind to do what it took to make great music. He had the pedigree; he knew the legends and the stories and the myths; he knew what the songs were about, especially the dirty ones, even if we didn't really know what was going on—Jagger's penchant for "make sweet love" as a lyric, while ubiquitous, didn't mean much to me then, other than I knew I should giggle when I heard it. He had the moves and the ability to mimic, especially Mick Jagger. Have you ever seen a 4th grader strut and prance and mime the vocals of Mick Jagger? No? You should—it's a lot less creepy and whole lot more entertaining than those little kids who always seem to be part of any Elvis Presley impersonation festival.

I was just going to use Photoshop but the program loaded and closed by itself. I tried this several times with no such luck. I un-installed then re-installed and got a message before the usual load up that read, "You currently have Adobe Photoshop's primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is recommended that you set Adobe Photoshop's primary Scratch volume to be on a different volume, preferably on a different physical drive."
Did a lil google search, and apparently, this is a known problem:
The instructions are useless because I can't even get Photoshop to stay open.
Has anyone experienced this before?
All feedback's appreciated.
Big thanks!!

Google's driving me crazy.
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about Google Instant Predictions, which–due to some minor settings changes to the Google home page–was obsolete by the time it was published (a week later). Shortly after that, another of our writers authored a perfectly good Gmail tip, which was likewise immediately out-of-date. Both of these articles still demonstrated a workable solution to a problem but, changes in access to the settings confused several readers. A couple days ago, I decided to put together an article about Android app updates; one that would include a visit to the Android Market through the direct link on the home screen of an Android phone. I tapped that link and–much to my lack of surprise–there was a new twist. Access through the link to the Market (now Google play), required submission to a new Google Terms of Service Agreement.
This seemingly constant state of flux, combined with a controversial revision of their privacy policies, and the impression of a Google desire for technological world domination, are making it increasingly difficult to write about their products. Frequent reactions to these articles include anger and indifference, with many readers commenting that they refuse to use Google services at all. Since I have long enjoyed the free use of many of their products; website, email, online photo sharing, a 3D modeling program, browser, maps…etc., I'll continue to ride it out. But, I understand the frustration.
Because–like I said–Google's driving me crazy…at least that's who I'm blaming.

I am one of many, many people who are mourning the loss of Morris L. Cohen, Emeritus Professor of Law at Yale Law School and the director of its Law Library from 1981 to 1991. I join with them in extending my condolences to his wife Gloria and their family. The Lillian Goldman Law Library has set up a tribute page with links to eulogies and other resources.
I beg leave to add a eulogy on behalf of the community of rare law book librarians and collectors that Morris so lovingly nurtured throughout his career. I take as my text the list of "bibliographic beatitudes" that Morris included in a 1982 article on our Blackstone Collection ("Blackstone at Yale," Yale Law Report, Spring/Summer 1982, 18-20).
By his own standards, Morris Cohen was thrice-blessed. All who knew him were blessed as well.
Memory Eternal…
Rare Book Librarian
Gloria & Morris Cohen at Morris's 80th birthday party, 2 Nov. 2007.
Edward Gordon, my esteemed co-curator for our Fall 2009 exhibit, "Freedom of the Seas, 1609: Grotius and the Emergence of International Law," has published an article based on the exhibit:
Edward Gordon, Grotius and the Freedom of the Seas in the Seventeenth Century, 16 WILLAMETTE JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION 252 (2008).
Gordon's article is a much-expanded version of the introduction and captions he produced for the exhibit, which marked the 400th anniversary of the publication of Grotius' Mare liberum. He writes,
"Mare liberum has become something of an icon in international law, not only for providing the first effective argument for the freedom of the seas in modern times, but in combination with Grotius's more mature work, De jure belli ac pacis (1625), for reinvigorating the natural law of ancient times as a transcendent legal regime in the service of the common good."
Gordon has provided a thorough, concise, and lively account of the origins of Grotius's Mare liberum, the learned and passionate debates it engendered throughout Europe, and its continuing legacy in international law. Thanks, Ed!
At right: Portrait of Hugo Grotius from volume 1 of an anonymous commentary on Grotius, Hugonis Grotii, Belgarum phoenicis, manes ab iniquis obtrectationibus vindicati (Leipzig, 1727). The artist has placed Mare liberum just below the portrait on the right.
The newest galleries in the Rare Book Collection's Flickr site feature two of the most heavily illustrated books in the history of legal literature, both by the Flemish jurist Joost de Damhoudere (1507-1581). Both were also among the most popular law books of their time, going through numerous editions in several languages.
Damhoudere's Praxis rerum criminalium became the standard handbook of criminal law in northern Europe. We recently acquired the first edition, published in Louvain in 1554 under the title Enchiridion rerum criminalium. Our Flickr gallery, Enchiridion Rerum Criminalium (1554), presents all 54 of its woodcuts, which illustrate specific crimes and criminal procedure and also serve as documents of daily life in early modern Europe. Below is my personal favorite, illustrating the crime of dumping one's garbage on passers-by. Praxis rerum criminalium was published 36 times between 1554 and 1660, and was translated from Latin into Dutch, French, and German.
The other gallery, Practique iudiciaire et causes civiles (1572), contains the 17 woodcuts from Damhoudere's Practique iudiciaire et causes civiles (Antwerp, 1572), including the portrait of the author at right. It is the only French edition of Damhoudere's Praxis rerum civilium, which was appeared in 14 editions between 1567 and 1660.
These two works must owe much of their popularity to their usefulness, but perhaps their illustrations also played a role in making them attractive to buyers. I know of few other early law books with so many illustrations, and none with such lively ones.
I have added several more images of Justitia (or Lady Justice, if you prefer) to the Justitia gallery in the Rare Book Collection's Flickr site. Below is one of them, taken from no. 3 of the Bollettino delle leggi della Repubblica Romana (Rome, 1798-1799).
Among the motives for building the Justitia gallery are the new book by Yale law professors Judith Resnik and Dennis Curtis, Representing Justice: Invention, Controversy, and Rights in City-States and Democratic Courtrooms, due out shortly from the Yale University Press, and the Spring 2011 seminar on the same topic that Professors Resnik and Curtis will be teaching. The book features over 220 illustrations, including five taken from books in our Rare Book Collections, which are featured in our Representing Justice gallery.
In several recent posts in the Rechtsgeschiedenis blog, my Dutch colleague Otto Vervaart has written three recent posts on the value and use of legal iconography for historical research. These posts also provide a number of useful links to online resources for legal iconography. These links (and more) can also be found on the Digital Collections page of Vervaart's Rechthistorie website. One of these resources, the Dutch Database for Legal Iconography (NCRD) at the National Library of the Netherlands, is currently restricted to library pass holders, but a librarian there has told me that early in 2011 the database will be opened to all users. Watch this space for an announcement.
There are two new sets of images in the Rare Book Collection's Flickr galleries: Tractatus iuris (1549) and Tractatus universi iuris (1584-86). Apart from the title pages, you won't see any pretty pictures in these image sets. What you will see are tables of contents and indexes of authors and titles for these two massive compilations of Roman and canon law scholarship. The images were cropped and edited for legibility, not for aesthetics. I scanned the images to save myself the trouble of wrestling these large and unwieldy volumes, but I hope researchers will benefit as well.
The 18-volume Tractatus ex variis iuris interpretibus (1549) was published by a consortium of Lyon printers. Its tall folios contains 458 separate works by over 200 different authors on virtually any topic of interest to lawyers and jurists of the time, and served as a sort of encyclopedia of the ius commune. Topics include arbitration, contracts, heresy, debt, adultery, taxation, judicial torture, banking, estates, criminal procedure, and the law of war, to name just a very few. Most of the leading authors of medieval and Renaissance jurisprudence are represented, including Baldus, Bartolus, Durandus, Odofredus, Jean Montaigne, Jacobus de Arena, Johann Oldendorp, and Guy de la Pape.
A much-expanded expanded edition, the 22-volume Tractatus universi iuris, was issued in 1584-86 by the Venetian publisher and bookseller Francesco Zilletti. It contains 754 titles by 362 authors, including several jurists who rose to prominence after the publication of the 1549 edition (i.e. Joost de Damhoudere, Benvenuto Stracca).
I hope that putting the author and title contents of these sets online will encourage others to study them. They are of interest for a number of reasons.
In connection with the history of the book, these were quite large and ambitious publishing ventures for their time. The 1549 Lyon edition required a consortium of printers, including Thomas Bertellus, Georges Regnault, and Pierre Fradin. It is tempting to speculate on a link between Pope Gregory XIII's sponsorship of the 1584-86 Tractatus universi iuris and the fine the Inquisition levied against its printer, Francesco Zilletti, a couple of years earlier for selling prohibited books.
An analysis of how the contents changed between the 1549 and 1584-86 editions would shed light on developments in legal scholarship. My cursory look at the contents reveals signs of the Counter-Reformation. The 1549 Tractatus contained 13 articles by the German jurist Johann Oldendorp, who was also a leader in the Protestant Reformation, but in the 1584-86 edition Oldendorp is nowhere to be found.

The November 2010 issue of Smithsonian magazine, available online, has a feature article, "A Murder in Salem" by E.J. Wagner, on the notorious 1830 murder-for-hire of Captain Joseph White in Salem, Massachusetts and the several trials of its alleged perpetrators. The case spawned a slew of pamphlets and broadsides, and is cited as an inspiration for Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-tale Heart" and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. (Thanks to PhiloBiblos, the blog of my colleague Jeremy Dibell, for bringing the article to my attention.)
Earlier this year the Rare Book Collection more than doubled its holdings on the Joseph White case with the acquisition of a collection formed by the Hon. Raymond S. Wilkins (1891-1972), a Salem native who served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts from 1956 to 1970. As a result, we now have ten of the twelve items on the White case listed in McDade's Annals of Murder, and eleven of the fifteen items in Morris Cohen's Bibliography of Early American Law (BEAL). Six of the titles in Wilkins' collection are not in either McDade or BEAL:
In addition, there is a collection of 26 letters, clippings, and other ephemera on the Joseph White case collected by Wilkins, some of it dealing with Wilkins' unsuccessful effort to get a book on the case published by the Harvard University Press.
You can view the records for most of the Joseph White items by searching our online catalog, Morris, for the subject "White, Joseph, 1747 or 8-1830".
Altogether, the collection provides rich and varied sources for research on the Joseph White murder.
Stay tuned for more "Research Opportunities."
A video of Mark Zaid's exhibit talk, "Superheroes in Court! Law, Lawyers and Comic Books," is now available here, in the Yale Law Librarians channel at Vimeo.com. Zaid's 52-minute presentation, recorded on Sept. 30, 2010, gives a brief overview of the history of comic books, and then delves into the various ways law and lawyers have been depicted in comics, as well as the influence of law on the comic book industry in areas such as copyright, trademark law, and censorship. Thanks to Dan Griffin of Yale Law School's Information Technology Services, the video includes Zaid's PowerPoint images. The video can also be viewed via the Law Library's online catalog, MORRIS.
An report on Zaid's talk is available in Scoop, a free e-newsletter for comic book collectors.
If that's not enough, you can also listen to an interview with Mark Zaid, Dale Cendali (an intellectual property law attorney and comic book collector), and myself that aired on WNPR-FM's "Where We Live" on October 4. Many thanks to the host, John Dankowsky, and the program's producer, Josie Holtzman.
The exhibit, "Superheroes in Court! Lawyers, Law and Comic Books," is on display Sept. 4-Dec, 16, 2010 in the Rare Book Exhibition Gallery, Level L2, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School.

U of T doctoral student Ashleigh Androsoff is the winner of the 2004 "As Prime Minister" scholarship, it was announced last Thursday."It feels great; it's quite an experience," Androsoff said in a phone interview on Friday. The ten finalists for the award were announced in August, but the final decision was not announced until November 25. The finalists were brought to Ottawa for the final announcement."We didn't know who the finalist was until it was announced publicly," said Androsoff. "It was quite a surprise."Androsoff is in her 3rd year of a PhD in Canadian history at Massey College. Her thesis, in progress now, will be on the Doukhobors, an immigrant group from Russia that settled in Western Canada in the late nineteenth century.Her essay, she said, focused on three areas: health care, the environment, and international obligations."I applied two priorities to each of these: responsible stewardship and long-term sustainability," she said. "I was thinking of three people for the three areas I wrote about. Roy Romanow for health care, David Suzuki for the environment, and Lester B. Pearson for international obligations." Androsoff said she valued the contribution these three men had made to each field, but stressed that "it's time for others to take up the torch and carry [these issues] on into the 21st century. It's particularly incumbent on youth."The As Prime Minister Award is valued at $70,000, and includes an internship with the scholarship's patron, Magna Canada. Former Magna CEO and current Conservative MP Belinda Stronach was on hand for the presentation of the award."The prize money is going to go right back to my education," said Androsoff. She said the money will also fund some research trips to British Columbia and Saskatchewan to study the Doukhobors' area of settlement first-hand. The Burnaby, B.C. native got her B.A. from Simon Fraser University and a master's degree from U of T.The title of the scholarship asks the winner to imagine herself as prime minister of Canada; Androsoff didn't own up to such ambitions, but she didn't say no, either."I have considered political involvement," she said. "So far, my political involvement has consisted of voting. It's always been my plan not to be locked into the ivory tower; I've always wanted to apply my knowledge. I'm not sure just yet. I'm entertaining the thought of doing some work with the United Nations.""As young people, it's important to keep our options open. Part of this competition, what the judges evaluated, was: 'What are the contestants' values and how did they stick to them [in their essays]?'" said Androsoff. "In other words, what is your true north?"

lol that was good . there is always one in every family lol
A teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment to get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. "Tony, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes ma'am, my daddy told me a story about my Aunt Karen when she was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got shot down. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife."
"She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break when she landed. However, her parachute ended up landing right in the middle of the enemy troops. So she shot fifteen of them with her gun until she ran out of bullets Then killed four more with her knife and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
"Good Heavens!" said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy try and tell you from this horrible story?"
"He told me to stay the hell away from Aunt Karen when she's drinking."
lol that was good . there is always one in every family lol
that was a good 1
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals

GOP House Revolt Over Oil Drilling Gets Ignored or Buried
On Friday, NewsBusters wondered how much attention media would pay to the Republican revolt that occurred after Speaker Pelosi adjourned the House for a five week vacation without allowing a vote on offshore oil drilling.
It turns out that if you rely on the evening news programs of the three broadcast networks, you didn't hear about this extraordinary event at all (photo courtesy AP).
And, if you're one of the few people that still reads newspapers, the one thrown on your driveway Saturday morning likely also ignored this story, or buried it well off the front page.
Conceivably the worst of the network offenders was the "NBC Nightly News" which actually addressed the fact that Congress adjourned without a vote on drilling, but completely ignored the GOP revolt that ensued afterwards (from closed captioning):
REHEMA ELLIS, NBC CORRESPONDENT Congress has left town for the August recess, but they did not go quietly as you're about to see. Democrats and Republicans couldn't agree on any approach to try to help lower gas prices, tempers boiled over today after each side blocked the other's attempts to vote.
UNKNOWN: I ask for a recorded vote.
ELLIS: At the end of the day, no energy legislation which will probably be a tough sell to the voters back home and now they're off for a month.
If you were going to bring this up, why not report the drama that played out on the floor of the House for several hours after Pelosi banged her gavel? Why not let Americans know that Republicans stayed behind, sometimes in the dark, to try to discuss this issue further?
I guess the good folks at NBC felt they didn't have time for that, as they needed to do a rather lengthy section about how people better start making their Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation plans now -- on the first day of August! -- if they want to get the best flights and the cheapest fares.
ABC's "World News with Charles Gibson" ran a close second for most disgraceful when George Stephanopoulos was brought on to discuss presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama's flip-flop on oil drilling, but didn't bother bringing up what happened in the House (from closed captioning):
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: It was necessary. As David Wright just pointed out, John McCain earlier shifted on this issue. And he was making headway on this issue of energy. The American people right now are on a try anything mood on energy. They want alternative energy. They're open to drilling, as well. And Senator Obama knew he couldn't be seen as standing in the way of anything that might bring down the cost of oil and gas.
Fabulous! So, why not bring up how Pelosi and the Democrats stood in the way of a drilling vote in the House Friday, and how the GOP revolted? As neither Obama nor McCain can do anything about this issue now, isn't what happened on Capitol Hill Friday MORE important?
I guess not. Yet, ABC did find time to inform its viewers about a new super jumbo jet, while also airing two personal interest segments with one about France's first lady and former supermodel Carla Bruni, and another about a sixteen-year-old spending his summer helping Iowa flood victims. I'm sure both were more important to Americans than saving money at the pump!
As for the "CBS Evening News," it also addressed Congress going on vacation, but rather than mention what happened on the House floor today, did a detailed segment about a Pennsylvania Congressman's earmarks as well as one about a bizarre race in Queens, New York. Amazing.
As for newspapers, the New York Times alloted 520 words to this issue Saturday...on page A16. The Washington Post gave it 402 words...on page A3.
The results of a LexisNexis search suggest the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, and the San Francisco Chronicle all ignored this revolt.
With gas and oil prices on the minds of Americans from coast to coast, how could any press outlet not cover this story?

The intergration guide refers to this sensor as a '24" Trimmable Strip' if I'm not mistaken, and digikey prints the following in their description:
"The standard 408 sensor is a strip sensor 622.3mm in length. To meet the needs of your application, however, it can be cut down to a very short length."
I could really use a shorter one, but as I only ordered one of these I think I'll keep it away from scissors for a bit longer.
I've been running X-CTU on Windows 7 without any issues.
But yeah, I wish there was a non-windows option for programming these units. It's a hassle having to boot up an extra machine for such things.
No public wish lists :(

Here are the best jailbreak creations for the week of September 10th until today, September 16th as per the opinion of our staff. This is a weekly recap.
1. Smart Ringer - 99¢
Smart Ringer is a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer dmarinov that allows you to confirm whether or not you meant to enable silent mode via the hardware switch at the side of the device. The tweak adds a software fail-safe, so that if a pocket lint loop ends up being strong enough to grab hold of your ringer/silent switch and flips it by mistake, the device will not enter silent mode. It also works for other situations where the switch my be unintentionally switched. The confirmation comes up on the screen asking you to slide the slider to confirm you want to be in silent mode. If you don't slide the slider, the phone will ring regardless of the switch's position. This tweak is great for keeping you from accidentally missing important calls.
2. Quantum - FREE
Quantum is a new free jailbreak tweak from iOS developer Sirifl0w. The tweak gives the user the ability to change the font of the iOS 5 notification banner content and titles. There are several different fonts to choose from and you can mix and match fonts between the title and the banner content. You will have to respring for each change to take effect, but it's a great way to customize your device so it doesn't look exactly the same as your friend's iPhone.
3. Privata - FREE
Privata is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developers Rudolf Lichtner and Ravirajm. Privata allows the user to enable and disable private brosing right from the Mobile Safari Web browser without the need to dig into the Settings application and fiddle around with the preferences. This quick little toggle adds a whole lot of convenience to the use of Mobile Safari. The toggle is located right inside the share button menu at the bottom of the list. If you just need to keep your browsing history a secret from someone, this is a tweak you have to grab.
4. YTOpener - FREE
YTOpener is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer thekirbylover. With this tweak, you will be able to launch YouTube links with Google's new YouTube application, which was made available in the App Store for free. The new YouTube application is much better than Apple's stock YouTube application and the tweak will continue to be useful throughout iOS 6, as Apple has removed their YouTube application from the operating system, forcing all YouTube links to open up in Mobile Safari. Trust us – YouTube is not as fluid and gorgeous from Mobile Safari as Google's new YouTube application is. If you're a YouTube addict, you need this tweak.
Stay tuned for next week's best tweaks - only on Modmyi!
If you missed our last best tweaks of the week, you can view it from this link.

Honda Releases First Images of Redesigned 2013 Civic Sedan Ahead of Debut [2012 L.A. Auto Show]
When the redesigned-for-2012 Civic received a so-so reception from critics, Honda decided to make a most unconventional move: Attempt to address the criticisms head-on with a hurried refresh, the results of which you can see above.

2013 Civic Leaked
I think it looks pretty nice, except the rear tails. I'm curious to see how they fixed the interior though.
one simply does not "leak" cad drawings...
Looks a little better up front, and still way too Camry out back. But Honda neutered the Civic years ago, so the world should be used to it by now.
It looks like Corolla, that looks like a Sentra, that looks like a Impreza and so fourth... IMO
I like it. But I don't really like that the tail lights go under the trunk also.
I really liked the '12 tail lights. I will like to see the new 2013s in person though.
I don't know since the 2005 model and up I have been iffy about the civic
It's like they've been ashamed to show off that it's a Civic lately, and give it hackneyed design cues. At least this one has interesting wheels.
It doesn't look too different to me. Some changes but nothing impressive. Honda has become quite unimaginative.

Reviews for Mushroom Turkey Tetrazzini
Average Rating
"This is a fabulous way to use up leftover turkey breast! My whole family enjoys this dish...even my husband who normally won't eat mushrooms. The cooking sherry adds such a nice flavor to the dish, so don't skip it! It's also very filling and has a rich, satisfying flavor. Yum!"
"Absolutely delicious! I would make again."
"Soooo good! Even my 3 year old loved it."
"This dish is very quick to make. I needed a recipe to use up ham so that's what I used. We don't like nutmeg so left out. Next time I will try the sherry. I also topped it off with fresh Parmesan. Very good,can't wait to make it again. So versatile!"
"My two boys (5 &9) really loved this recipe. Both of them had third helpings! I substituted chicken broth for the bouillon and pasta water. I also didn't have the lemon pepper but found a substitution of lemon peel, pepper and salt.I took the lid off for the last 5 minutes of baking because it looked too wet, but I think that made it too dry. Next time we'll leave the lid on."
"This was amazing! I can't see how this could have been made any more delicious as a higher calorie meal. The flavor was rich, creamy, and comforting. I ate my portion, then stood over the casserole dish and ate more ... I couldn't stop! I did not make any substitutions or changes other than adding one diced leek because I put onion in everything. I did this while sauteeing the mushrooms. I also used the sherry instead of the chicken broth. Highly recommended! You won't need to go back to the unhealthy version after this one!"
"This is a really good dish. I used angel hair pasta, omitted the lemon-pepper seasoning and the nutmeg and used 1 tsp. poultry seasoning instead. Excellent!"
"I made this over the weekend, and I enjoyed it. I'd recommend at least doubling the mushrooms (if you like mushrooms). Definitely a lighter (but still tasty) alternative to a heavier tetrazzini dish."
"I made this for family dinner tonight, and there were NO leftovers! This dish was delicious, and I will add to my favorites.MargiannManchester, Ky."

So I was loaping up a hill in 5th gear behind a line of cars on a 2 lane road minding my own business when I decided that the SUV in front of me was WAY too slow.
I shift into the left lane to initate a pass then all of the sudden I see this C320 sportwagon get right up on my ass and start flashing his brites at me. I think nothing of it and I resume my normal speed passing the line of cars in the right lane lined up at the exit. I slowly shift over to the right to let the guy pass me.
This guy is still right up against my tail flashing his blinkers a me Im thinking to my self is this guy kidding me? Is he mad at me for making him wait a whole 2 minutes? Mind you he has PLENTY of room to pass me on the left.
A few seconds later he zooms past me giving me a dirty look. I get a little annoyed so I drop her into 3rd speed up and drive paralell with him. All of the sudden i hear him gun the motor I do the same. I make up the 1 car jump he had on me and pull 3 more cars through 3rd. I wind out fourth and he is buslengths behind me.
Then I decide to reward him for his utmost patience by making it to the 1 lane merge first 1000 feet ahead and obeying the speed limit all the way to my destination.

Great slicer for home use
Pros: Blade holds an edge well, durable, slices well, handles large cuts of roast easily
Cons: crevasses on slicer deck for food to fall inside, carriage mounting system
Almost 6 years ago we purchased this slicer and it's still going strong. I believe I originally posted something in equipment reviews so hopefully, this can serve as an update.
The first item to be sliced was grilled chicken breast and it has definitely seen some use since; from corned beef to shaved lettuce and onions (in remembrance of those long lost Italian U-boat subs I enjoyed growing up in the western 'burbs of Chicago) and almost everything in between! Thick or thin (shaved even), the slicer performs very well.
The original blade is still in use and we're amazed how well it sharpens over the years. Using the original sharpening wheel keeps the blade cutting like it was it's first use. Cleaning is still a bit of a task since you need to disassemble the entire slicer but that's a personal standard since it can be a month or two between uses. It's also highly recommended that you only remove the blade with the removal guard and hand wash all parts. We have put everything but the blade in the dishwasher but rarely do this since the aluminum can have issues with the use of the detergent
Originally, there was concern over the plastic spacer between the Carriage and the carriage glide arm but it's never been a large enough issue to fix. When you use heavier cuts it can cause an uneven shaved but this can be adjusted.
Overall, we can easily admit, between the cost versus the life and service, it was a solid investment and should continue to hold up for years to come.

So, we still haven't officially launched this ministry, but the questions that are on many people's minds (and they have spent a significant amount of time on my mind as well over the last several months) include:
- Why Divorce Ministry 4 Kids?
- Why now?
- Why you?
It seemed appropriate to answer these questions, and over the course of the next three days, I will do just that. I hope that these articles will help the reader to understand the reason behind both this ministry and my involvement in it.
Next week I plan to publish a series of posts with more details on the mission behind DivorceMinistry4Kids, what we believe and how we hope to accomplish our mission.

Perhaps the world's most famous Newfoundland is Nana, the canine nursemaid in Peter Pan. Although fictional, she exemplifies the breed's love of children and life-saving instincts. With a history as a working dog on fishing boats in, yes, Newfoundland, the Newfie is one of the great water dogs (with webbed feet to prove it!) and still exhibits his prowess at water rescue.
Today's Newfoundland is primarily a family companion or show dog. He has many good qualities, but his giant size and potential for health problems are factors to consider before deciding to acquire one. If you want the easygoing, patient dog that is the Newfoundland at his best, be prepared to do a lot of homework to find him and put in plenty of effort training and socializing him once you bring him home.
Miss Chumley
Embraced since 2009

The Newfoundland is calm, sweet and friendly, especially towards children, but he can be protective if the situation calls for it. Although he's not a workaholic like some dogs, he enjoys activity, especially swimming. Canine sports in which the Newfoundland participate include obedience trials; draft, tracking and water tests; and carting and sledding. He's also an excellent companion for a hiker or backpacker and makes a super therapy dog, being just the right height for standing at a bedside.
Sounds great, right? Not so fast! The Newfoundland is a giant breed. At maturity, he will weigh 100 to 150 pounds. Giant breeds have the potential to develop serious orthopedic problems if they aren't raised carefully or if they come from irresponsible breeders, and they generally have a shorter lifespan than smaller dogs. If that doesn't faze you, a Newfoundland may well be your breed of choice.
As with any dog, early, frequent socialization is essential to prevent a Newfie from becoming overly suspicious or fearful of anything new or different. Purchase a Newfoundland puppy from a breeder who raises the pups in the home and ensures that they are exposed to many different household sights and sounds, as well as people. Continue socializing your Newfoundland by taking him to puppy kindergarten class, visits to friends and neighbors, and outings to local shops and businesses.
Like any dog, Newfoundland puppies are inveterate chewers and because of their size can do a whole lot of damage. Don't give them the run of the house until they've reached trustworthy maturity. And keep your Newfoundland puppy busy with training, play and socialization experiences; a bored Newfie is a destructive Newfie.
Begin training as soon as you bring your Newfoundland puppy home, while he is still at a manageable size. Use positive reinforcement training techniques such as praise, play and food rewards. The gentle Newfie is a willing learner, and young puppies pick up new skills rapidly when they are encouraged to do so. If you plan to teach your Newfie to swim or do water rescue, let him start playing in water before he's 4 months old.
While you might think of him as an outdoor dog, nothing could be farther from the truth. Newfoundlands are devoted to their people. They should certainly have access to a securely fenced yard, but when the family is home, the Newf should be with them. He should also be indoors when it's hot outside, being sensitive to heat.
The Newfoundland has a long, flat, double coat of black, brown, gray or Landseer (white with black markings). Using a steel comb and wire slicker brush, groom the coat at least a couple times a week to prevent mats and remove dead hair. Newfies shed, and regular brushing will help reduce the amount of hair floating around your house. Clean the ears, trim the nails weekly, and bathe the Newfoundland when he's dirty. Newfs drool, so get in the habit of carrying around a hand towel so you can wipe your dog's mouth as needed, especially after he eats or drinks.
In the hope of controlling the genetic diseases that already affect the breed and prevent any new ones from emerging, the Newfoundland Club of America, which is the American Kennel Club parent organization for the breed in the United States, participates in a program operated by the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC).
CHIC requires that breeders test all their breeding dogs for heart, eye, hip, and elbow diseases that are prevalent in the breed, and recommends dogs also be tested for a genetic kidney disease known as cystinuria.
All breeders should be able to show written documentation from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) clearing your puppy's parents of hip and elbow dysplasia, heart disease, and cystinuria. PennHip certification of hips is also accepted.
As might be predicted, given their large size, Newfs can suffer from a number of joint and structural problems. It's important that young, growing dogs be kept lean and not allowed to exercise too strenuously or eat too much, as this will lead to injuries and problems that can be crippling down the road. In fact, all Newfoundlands need to be kept lean, as obesity increases the chances they'll develop structural problems and makes them more painful when they do occur.
One such structural problem is the genetic hip deformity known as hip dysplasia. The head of the thigh bone doesn't fit properly into the hip socket, and over time the bone begins to wear away. The constant inflammation leads to arthritis. It's treated with surgery, usually total hip replacement, at the cost of thousands of dollars per hip. Untreated, the dog will suffer pain and lameness. Elbow dysplasia is a similar condition affecting the elbow.
It's impossible to know if a dog has hip or elbow dysplasia simply from examining him or watching him move. Nor can hip and elbow dysplasia be ruled out entirely just because the parents were free of the condition, although it reduces the risk. And a puppy's hips and elbows can't be evaluated; only at the age of two you can know if a dog is or isn't affected.
This condition can only be diagnosed by X-rays that then need to be evaluated by an orthopedic specialist. Each Newfoundland owner should have his dog's hips and elbows x-rayed at two years of age, regardless of whether or not he shows symptoms of lameness or stiffness.
Another breed-related structural problem affecting the Newfoundland is cervical vertebral instability (CVI), commonly called Wobbler's syndrome. Wobbler's is caused by a malformation of the vertebrae within the neck that results in pressure on the spinal cord. CVI leads to weakness and lack of coordination in the hindquarters and sometimes to complete paralysis. Symptoms can be managed to a certain extent in dogs that are not severely affected, and some dogs experience some relief from surgery, but the outcome is far from certain. While CVI is thought to be genetic, there is no screening test for the condition.
Their large size also puts quite a strain on the Newfoundland's heart. He's at risk for a number of conditions, including cardiomyopathy, which causes an enlarged heart. An annual heart exam is critical in catching these conditions early, and no dog with cardiomyopathy should ever be bred. The sad reality, however, is that a dog who tests fine one day can develop heart disease the next, and the puppy of two parents without heart disease can still develop it.
Newfoundlands are also more likely than many breeds to bloat, a condition in which the stomach twists on itself, cutting off blood flow. Bloat strikes very suddenly and a dog who was fine one minute can be dead a few hours later. Watch for symptoms like restlessness and pacing, drooling, pale gums and lip licking, trying to throw up but without bringing anything up, and signs of pain. Bloat requires immediate veterinary surgery, and most dogs that have bloated once will bloat again. That means it's wise to opt for a procedure known as gastropexy in that will keep the stomach from twisting in the future. This procedure can also be done as a preventive measure.
Cystinuria is a genetic kidney defect that leads to the formation of bladder stones that are very difficult to manage with diet or medication and often requires surgery both to remove the stones from the bladder and to repair urinary blockages. There may be no advance signs that the dog is forming cystine stones, many veterinarians are unfamiliar with cystinuria and may mistake them for more common stones such as struvites. Urinary blockage is a life-threatening veterinary emergency.
Unfortunately, the current screening test for cystinuria is of limited use, as it frequently gives a false negative. It does not give false positives unless the dog is on a particular type of antibiotic at the time the urine sample is taken, however, so a dog that tests positive does, in fact, have the condition, even if he tested negative in the past or tests negative in the future. And there is no genetic screening test, so it's impossible to determine if a dog is a carrier or not.
A good breeder will be able to discuss how prevalent these and other conditions that have no genetic screening test are in her dogs' lines, and help puppy buyers make an informed decision about health risks to their dog.
Here's some additional information directly from the Newfoundland Club of America in regards to the conditions mentioned above:
"[Regarding] the description of cystinuria... The disorder occurring in the Newfoundland is a single gene recessive disorder for which there is a direct genetic test (i.e. The test detects the actual mutation, not a nearby marker). There is no ambiguity whatsoever regarding the test. When it occurs it is a serious clinical problem and it was discovered several years ago that there was a substantial frequency of the gene in the Newfoundland population. Breeders should certainly be aware of the genotype of their breeding stock and many breeders register the test findings with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Given the availability of the genetic test, there is no need to ever produce the disorder. It is important that buyers are aware of this, as some less than responsible breeders may neglect testing.
While Dilated Cardiomyopathy certainly does occur in the Newfoundland, it is far from being the biggest concern for Newoufoundland Breeders. Sub-Aortic Stenosis (SAS) is clearly the most important, a very serious problem that occurs with some frequency in the population. There is currently no genetic test from SAS and it appears to have a complex inheritiance, rendering the development of the test a difficult endeavor. Breeders should not breed Newfoundlands with any signs of SAS and should screen puppies with a Board-certified Veterinary Cardiologist. The OFA also keeps a cardiac registry for the Newfoundland breed.
It would probably be a good idea to mention the testing that the NCA recommends as a requirement (heart, Hip dyspasia, Elbow dysplasia, and cystinuria). These disorder are those designated to obtain a CHIC certification on your dog (the CHIC does not guarantee that the dog has been cleared, only that he has been tested). The Club also recomments CERF eye testing and thyroid testing, but those are not designations for the Newfoundland CHIC."
Pet insurance for Newfoundlands costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Newfoundlands are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Newfoundlands are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Newfoundland is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

I only owned a Highpoint model C9 9mm pistol... and that was for a very short time. You know... the gun itself was okay... I ended up trading it in not long after I bought it, just because I never really liked the feel of the gun. It shot fine... never really had any feeding problems... It was quite finiky about ammo after a few rounds... as long as the feed ramp was shiny clean, it would shoot just about anything, but after 30 or 40 rounds, some ammo would start giving it problems... It was usually the cheaper stuff that I could find on sale.
I certainly felt a difference in quality compared to some of the higher-end guns I've owned, but nothing that would really keep me from buying another one if they came out with something I wanted.
Haven't shot a Kel Tec in a long long time, and it was a friends gun, so I really can't comment on them.
As for the Highpoint, my experience with the pistol was good enough that I wouldn't hesitate on a Highpoint carbine if the price was right. But my experience with the Highpoint would make me double and triple check how the ammo fed through the thing if it was going to be my first line of home defense... but then I double and triple check any ammo in any gun that is securing my family.
Have fun choosing, and then give us a range report when you pick up the new gun.
