The Jacobean Plantations in Seventeenth-Century Offaly
The assimilation of the Gaelic Irish lordships into the British state marks the end of medieval Ireland and the beginning of a society more recognizable to modern eyes. A number of native Irish lordships in west and south Offaly - namely Eile Ui Chearbhaill, Delbhna Eathra, Fir Cheall, and Muintir Thadhgain - were fundamentally transformed by the imposition of plantation schemes there in 1619-20. This book highlights the importance of regionality in the archaeological study of early modern Ireland, detailing the impact of colonization on local communities, as well as the changes wrought by the great cultural movements of the time, namely the Reformation, Counter-Reformation, and the Renaissance. By reappraising the various categories of secular and non-secular buildings - such as tower houses, fortified manor houses, farmsteads, and churches - the book goes beyond morphological concerns and explores the extent to which individuals influenced their own social, economic, and cultural positions in society, and how the physical and mental worlds of the native and settler communities were challenged and transformed by encounters with the other.

UPDATED: In His New Book, Breitbart Embraces Absurd Ayers-Wrote-Obama's-Book Conspiracy
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
In the pantheon of insane anti-Obama conspiracy theories, few hold a candle to the idea that former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers secretly wrote Barack Obama's autobiography Dreams from My Father.
This particular bit of crackerjack analysis was popularized by WorldNetDaily writers Jack Cashill and Aaron Klein, who have based their theories on "evidence" like the frequency of nautical terms in Obama's book, despite the fact that "Obama gives little indication that he has any real experience with the sea or ships beyond bodysurfing at Waikiki." (Slightly less unhinged conservatives like David Freddoso have labeled Cashill's work on this "a lot of crap, all conjecture and no concrete evidence.")
The Ayers ghostwriter theory has been back in full force this week, thanks to some conservative bloggers' inability to detect sarcasm. Speaking at Montclair State University last week, Ayers responded to a question from an audience member by joking that he "wrote" Obama's autobiography, and saying, "if you help me prove it, I'll split the royalties with you." Ayers was quite clearly kidding, and, as Jim Newell explains at Gawker, he's used this same joke before.
Numerous conservative websites like NewsBusters (which exists to lecture places like the New York Times on how to properly conduct their journalistic activities) promoted the Ayers comment as an admission that he wrote Obama's book. The story does seem to have caused a bit of a rift in the conservative blogosphere, however, with Dan Riehl writing that people running with the supposed admission look like "a bunch of Kool-Aid inebriated Right Wing nut jobs."
And while it's always good sport to point and laugh at the clownishness of certain corners of the conservative media, it's important to point out that conspiracies theories like this are actually not out of the conservative mainstream - they are the bread and butter of the movement.
In his upcoming book, which Media Matters obtained in advance of its release, Andrew Breitbart asserts that Ayers wrote Obama's book. Twice.
In a chapter titled, "Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Revolutionaries," Breitbart discusses the rise of conservative "citizen journalists" and purports to enumerate their various accomplishments. Apparently unfamiliar with the words "proved" and "reasonable," Brietbart lists among citizen journalist accomplishments that they "proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father, was ghostwritten by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers." From Breitbart's Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save The World:
In the past few years alone, citizen journalists have deposed Dan Rather for his scurrilous and baseless attacks on George W. Bush; exposed John Kerry's true war record during the 2004 election cycle; debunked Reuters's photography fraud in the Middle East; proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father, was ghostwritten by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; gotten rid of communist Van Jones; and the list goes on. [Righteous Indignation, pg 149-150]
On the next page, advising activists to "Be open about your secrets," Breitbart again references Obama's "Ayers-written autobiography":
3. Be open about your secrets. If you're going to go out in public, be absolutely open about what you've done in the past. Take a page from Barack Obama, who revealed in his Ayers-written autobiography that he had done a bit of blow, hung out with commies and racists like Jeremiah Wright, and hated whitey. Once it was out there, there wasn't much the right could do with it - he'd already admitted it. [Righteous Indignation, pg 150]
We'll have more on Breitbart's book closer to the release date, but this seemed as good a time as any to remind people that he shouldn't be taken seriously.
Update: Proving yet again that there is nothing too absurd for conservative media outlets to promote, Fox & Friends hosted Cashill this morning to discuss his various conspiracy theories about Obama, including the idea that Ayers wrote Obama's book.
Update 2: In contrast to the review copy we were sent, Breitbart's endorsement of Cashill's theory is somewhat toned down in the retail version of the book.
Whereas in the version we were sent Breitbart says citizen journalists have "proved beyond a reasonable doubt" that Ayers wrote Obama's autobiography, it now says that citizen journalists have "raised the question whether Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father, was ghostwritten by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers."
Though his endorsement of Cashill's theory is watered down in the final version, Breitbart was not shy about embracing Cashill on Twitter in response to our post.

MTV Gets Stingy: Season Six of 'Jersey Shore' to Feature a 'Cheaper' Cast
Even Snooki isn't safe from outsourcing, it seems.
MTV announced this week that after season five, "Jersey Shore" will be completely recast, allowing the current cast to go on to do their own lucrative spin-offs, and MTV to go about the business of hiring a brand new crew, who will doubtlessly work for much lower wages.
"After this group comes back from Italy and shoots season five this summer, that will be the end for them," the show's producers told US Weekly, adding that the new cast will be "a lot cheaper."
As we reported back in April, after a recent round of negotiation, the "core group" of "Jersey Shore" cast members are now pulling in at least $100,000 per episode. At those prices, it's no wonder MTV is looking to do a reboot. That's bigger than their previous per-episode salaries by a factor of ten! You might remember that back before season two, the crew re-negotiated to start making $10,000 an episode.
Of course, being on "Jersey Shore" has also been incredibly lucrative for everyone from Snooki to The Situation, who has made forays into "Dancing with the Stars", his own line of vitamin products, and a number of big-name endorsements to the tune of $5 million last year. He has also been able to parlay his success at with "Jersey Shore" into a potential new movie career. God help us.
If you think "Jersey Shore" is raw right now, just picture what a low-rent version might look like. Oh wait, that's called "The Bad Girls Club."
So what do you think about a cut-rate cast of "The Jersey Shore"? How good will a "Jersey Shore" with no Snooki and no Sitch? Will you transfer your allegiance to a new cast of unknowns, or is "Jersey Shore" dead to you after season five?
Jersey Shore, The Bad Girls Club

Columbine leader set to step down
August 14, 2013 10:20 AM
LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — The principal of Columbine High School is retiring after 18 years of leading the school.
In a letter to parents on Tuesday, Frank DeAngelis said he would step down at the end of the school year.
DeAngelis was in his office the morning of April 20, 1999, when two student gunmen launched an attack on the school, killing 13 people.
He shepherded a group of about 20 students to safety that day, and he survived with no physical injuries.
However, he says the shootings left him with severe anxiety attacks that felt like heart attacks and contributed to the end of his marriage.
DeAngelis said he's healthier now and believes schools everywhere are safer because people are now more likely to report suspicious behavior.

Hardiplank sheathing issue first row- HELP!
2 Attachment(s)
My sheathing stops above sill plate and part of the plywood decking (See photos). I am installing hardiplank and dont know how to handle first row. (1) Should I add additional sheathing strip to cover area to extend to the bottom of sill plate or is there a way of installing first row and have thinner starter strip start at sheathing without doing this? (2) If additional strip is needed to cover sill plate, could this be a cedar strip instead of plywood as I have lots of cedar from old siding I can cut down? (3) If cedar strip is acceptable, can I make this strip ¾ in thickness which would be wider than the ½ sheathing above. This could also act is the starting strip. (4) How about the tyvek could it go over the bumped out thicker strip (normally starter strip is nailed on top of tyvek)? (5) How far should hardiplank hang down below sill plate?
63 Attachment(s)
I would cover the entire area with plywood at the thickness of the existing sheathing. Then side as normal.
Thanks clutchcargo. Becasue I have so much cedar around, would there be an issue of using 3/4" cedar instead of 1/2" plywood like sheathing which would allow for the starter strip that hardiplank calls for. I would then overlap tyvek over the bumped over the cedar which is 1/4" wider than the plywood sheathing. If I use plywood strip to cover sill plate, I still need a starter strip about 1 1/2" wide by about 1/4"thick.
There may be reason not to do it this way, which I welcome any input on. Thanks
Curious. The first pic shows what appears to be a 2x4 rim joist under a 2x4 sill plate. The plywood ends above both. The second pick shows the plywood exposing only the rim joist. Is that correct?
I have post and beam construction with 1 1/16" plywood subfloor.
That will work. You don't have the shear on the wall with it not reaching sill or a pt sill anyway...... cedar would dry much faster than adding ply there. Leave gaps between 1/4" filler strips for drainage on face of housewrap. Caulk the concrete/sill joint with sealant. Where are you located?
Thanks Gary- hope you can get back with me soon as I need some clarification on your response. Not sure what you mean when you say "that will work". As described above, I was looking at not using a separate 1/4" starter strip and have the filler cedar strip be 3/4" wide which would result in a 1/4" bump out that the first row of Hardiplank requires (note - sheathing is 1/2" plywood). I was then going to put tyvek over the filler the filler strip and then install hardiplank over that. The alternative would be to first install a 1/2" cedar attached to the sill plate, cover with tyvek, then on top of tyvek add a separate 1/4" strip for the bump out. Is there a problem with using 3/4" filler and tyvek over that or should I use the 1/2" cedar below sheathing, cover with tyvek, and add a separate 1/4" bump out cedar strip on top of tyvek? Also, not clear on what you mean by "Leave gaps between 1/4" filler strips for drainage on face of housewrap" - please clarify where the gap is that you are referencing.
I also live in WA (Longview) so you can know I started my siding project late with fall weather arriving.
It looks ok to add the 3/4 as the sheathing. we sometimes put a hardie rip behind the first piece to make it angled ( about 7 degree) like all the rest of the siding will be so your 1/4" bumpout will not matter IMO. something else in case you did not check it- level around your foundation to find the lowest point and use that to start your siding. I've seen older homes with 4" difference (out of level) from one side of house to the other. that is where remodeling 101 comes into play... sometimes you have to make the first few pieces out of level and then fudge up to level as you work your way up the wall
The added 1/4" thickness under the Tyvek will work. IMO, I may be nit-picking; it will cause a bump out in the drainage plane, though very slight. The drainage plane should be flat without any continuous friction/tension across the bottom row where the siding touches the thicker material creating a ridge-line in the housewrap to admit water as cement board siding is a "reservoir" siding, holds water -- similar but not as bad as cedar over Tyvek when tannins cause leaks from standing water; http://www.greenhomebuilding.com/pdf/RainScreen.pdf
You will get "perched water" and hydrostatic pressure which could mean water intrusion from the small ledge formed; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...term=hockey+pu
Much better to have the plane flat then add the shim material (on top the HW) for the angle-out with spaces left between shims for drainage of liquid water, if ever any due to exterior leak or vapor condensation from within.
With your 46" annual rainfall, I would use a drainable house wrap (rather than flat) if not a rainscreen system; https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...RvUBSlz4b5thmA
The gaps are between horizontal shim strips, leave a gap of 1/2" every 12" or so.
Describe the wall make-up please....
Thanks very much Gary for your thoughtful reply with lots of good information. I plan on cutting cedar down to 1/2" thickness to match sheathing and adding a seperate 1/4" strip later over tyvek. I had thought of using table saw to cut a 45 degree at the top outside corner of a 3/4" cedar to avoid a 90 degree ledge, but thought this would be too difficult because the distance from the sheathing to the the sill plate varies and would require different size filler srips. Also, Hardiplank people I spoke with today said they don't want starter strip to be much over 1".
I did see the rain screen wrap at a building center and could do some checking on that for bottom part of the wall slipped under tyvek above which is already on the wall.
The house was built in 1980 with 8 ft high 2x4 walls, 1/2" plywood sheathing, and now tyvek over walls instead of 15# felt paper orginally covering sheathing. The siding I took off was rougher looking cedar boards placed vertically which gave the look of T-111 siding. The cedar boards extended below sill plate. I didnt' see any signs of damage to sheathing when

It's no secret that India is a high-priority emerging market for Apple. But the latest industry data shows that both Apple and Samsung are losing ground - and fast - to the makers of substantially more affordable devices.
Sales growth at Bangalore-based Karbonn Mobiles India Pvt. and Micromax Informatics Ltd. (MICRO) is being fueled by Indians buying their first smartphone to surf the Internet, which will be accessed by more than 300 million people by 2017. Their secret: the price.
India is poised for a smartphone boom; just look at the Internet penetration and potential, Deepak Mehrotra, CEO of Micromax, tells Bloomberg. But we dont see any point to offering a Ferrari.

How the Windows Insider Program is making a positive change in Africa... and at Microsoft itself

In a new blog post, Google's Senior Vice President for Google Cloud laid out the company's plans to stop scanning free Gmail users' emails for data on ad personalization some time later this year.
Google has introduced improvements to its spam filters in Gmail. It will now take time to analyze emails that are suspected to be phishing users. It will also warn Android users of sketchy websites.
Today at Google I/O 2017, the company announced a new feature called Smart Reply for Gmail, that will allow users to quickly reply using probable text responses to their emails on Android and iOS.
From Siri's speaker and Alexa's touch, to Android flagships, Teams work, big phish, Edge's edge in business, and an adventure in time and space, it's our handy walkthrough of the week's top tech news.
Google has made changes to Gmail's security systems to better protect users against phishing attempts. The new system offers warnings when clicking on suspicious links in an effort to keep you safe.
Google has updated its Gmail app on Android allowing users to send and request money, just as easily as sharing an attachment. Google says the feature is "completely free" for senders and recipients.
Microsoft is rolling out the latest update to its Skype extension for Google's Chrome browser, offering deeper integration for the communications platform across more of your web experiences.
After having been one of the most popularly voted upon ideas for Flow, Microsoft has introduced Team flows in preview form for Office 365 users along with Gmail connectivity and custom API sharing.
Google has updated Gmail on iOS for the first time in four years, adding swipe actions and quicker searches to the app. Google Calendar also gets a month view and improved spotlight integration.
After users began reporting that their Gmail account no longer worked on Windows 10 Mobile, Google has now confirmed that the company has fixed the issue on its end.
User account details for millions of email accounts from popular services have been leaked. High-profile services such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and Mail.ru are affected.
From Android à la MODE and Windows on Apple Watch, to Intel out of phones, Microsoft's not-so-special offers, and BlackBerry's Marshmallow bunkum, it's our regular roundup of the week's top tech news.
Google has released a new update to its Gmail app. The update now allows users on any device - not just Nexus brands - to connect a Microsoft Exchange account. Contact and calendar sync is also there.
Google has embedded a minion GIF on every email, as a part of their yearly April Fools' pranks. Unfortunately, the image did not bode well for people, with some allegedly losing their jobs.
In a blog post today, Google has outlined a couple of small, but noticeable, changes aimed at providing better security feedback for users of their Gmail web clients.
From massive milestones and Edge extensions, to underwater data centers, Chrome's Material makeover, Surface updates, and mobile acquisitions, it's our regular roundup of the week's top tech news.
WhatsApp isn't the only one to pass the billion-user milestone this week. Following the publication of Alphabet's quarterly earnings, Google revealed that its Gmail service has a billion users too.
Google is testing out a new system with a very small number of users, which allows them to sign into their Google accounts without the need for a password. Instead, they use their Android phones.
In a move to improve email security, Gmail will be implementing a new feature that warns a user if an incoming email is unencrypted. The feature will roll out in the months to come.
The new Events for Gmail feature has rolled out for business Apps users, and will make it easy to get reservations and travel-related events on your Google Calendar.
Google is rolling out a new feature to its Gmail service: "Undo Send". This delays e-mails for a few seconds after pressing the Send button, allowing users to retract their messages if they need to.
Google has introduced "Smartbox by Inbox," a mailbox that - among other things - zaps people for junk mail, has apps, and has folders to organize the different categories of mail we'd receive.
Google has made the previously Android-exclusive Google Calendar app available for iPhones, including all the Android features like 'Events from Gmail.' The app is available for download right now.
Google Inbox has been updated on Android and iOS with support for tablets, and the web version of the application can now be accessed from Safari and Firefox.
Dropbox has created a Chrome plugin for Gmail users that simplifies the process of adding Dropbox content to emails. The plugin does come with a caveat, though, but it's still very usable.
Less than a month after Gmail was banned in China, Microsoft's Outlook email service has found itself under attack with users unable to access the company's servers.
Google's analytics have revealed that the Gmail service is once again becoming accessible, albeit slowly, in China after being blocked for more than three days due to unknown reasons.
Traffic to Gmail, Google's email service, has dropped off nearly entirely across the entire nation of China, with research firms and Chinese citizens reporting an IP-level block on the service.
Google has taken new steps to improving the privacy of its email client, Gmail. A new security concept has been used on the client that prevents possible malicious add-ons from snooping on your email.
After two weeks, Google is finally giving people a chance to secure an invite to its latest email app, Inbox. Although invitations have been rare, Google is guaranteeing an invite today.
The Gmail application for Android is the latest to receive the Material Design update along with the ability to add third party email accounts such as Outlook, Yahoo and POP/IMAP
Google Inbox invites are slowly becoming more common but, as for now, they're still pretty scarce. We've got an invite chain going for our forum users who don't want to wait for Google!
With Google Inbox invites being so scarce, opportunists have taken to selling the invites on eBay. One auction so far has reached $205.00 + shipping, and others are averaging around the $50.00 mark.
Inbox is an invite-only re-imagination of the standard Gmail. It intelligently groups specific types of mail together and learns your habits to display more important mail above the rest, and more.
Almost five million Gmail accounts were compromised on Tuesday and the details of those accounts posted online, Google has responded by saying their servers were not breached, indicating brute-force.
Google has rolled out an update to GMail that adds a unsubscribe link at the top of the message next to the address if it exists anywhere in the email, meaning you can save time by not looking for it.
Google has issued a statement regarding the recent arrest of a sex offender in Texas facilitated by the company's automated scanning algorithm for tracking down child pornography across services.
In a bid to enable full functionality in mobile websites, Microsoft has changed the user agent of Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 update with iOS7 and Android 4.0 as the OS.
A security issue in Gmail has been revealed that means hackers could have extracted the email address of every user with ease up until last year and sold them to spammers at huge prices.
A new report claims Google may be testing a new user interface for its Gmail website, althought there's no word if this changes will be made available to the general public.
Google has now announced that it will stop scanning Google Apps email accounts for ad targeting following its recent decision to stop scanning email accounts of students using Apps for Education.
Google will stop scanning the Gmail accounts of students for ads after concerns that such activity was illegal in the U.S. were brought up last week as part of a current court case.
Under new 'anti-terrorism' legislation in Russia, Skype, Facebook, Gmail and other services could be banned for failing to comply with new laws unless the companies changes where user data is stored.
Google is actively looking to simplify encryption of end to end communication between users of its email service following the recent revelations regarding NSA surveillance and the PRISM project.
Google has updated its Terms of Service document, adding in a paragraph that attempts to better explain how the company scans the content of emails in its Gmail service to generate ads.
Google's Gmail service launched 10 years ago, on April 1st, 2004, and while lots of people thought it was an April Fools's Day prank at first, the free email service is anything but a joke today.
The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK is allowing Microsoft to run a "Scroogled" radio ad that attacks Google's stance on privacy in Gmail, following two formal complaints.
Google's general counsel has stated while its terms of service might allow it to look inside a Gmail account for an internal investigation, "it's hard for me to imagine" the company doing so.
After yesterday's brief outage that hit Google services, Yahoo took to Twitter to mock its rival, apparently forgetting the massive outage that crippled its own email service for four days last month.

A/C smelt like coolant and is temperamental now
So a month ago i had my A/C on and it smelt like coolant for a day or 2. The windshield DID NOT fog up and the A/C worked fine. The A/C has still always been on since then and was working fine up until last week.
Last week I noticed when I pull up to a stop light and sit for a minute or 2 my A/C starts to slowly warm up. After 2 minutes it feels as if the car is just blowing the "cold air" with the A/C off. As soon as I let off the brake and start driving the A/C goes back to being cold as normal. I have also noticed that my compressor (or something A/C related) is getting louder and has a slight knocking sound when the A/C is on. The instant that I shut the A/C off it goes away.
Today I thought maybe it just needs charged so I pulled the low end cap and checked pressure and I was at 70 psi. I was not able to check high end pressure due to not having the proper gauge on me. I was informed my low end needs to be 40 and high end at or around 150. So I dropped the pressure on the low end down to 40 and that made the A/C go to being just warm-hot air blowing out. I recharged the system back to the 70 psi on the low end and have the same problem. At idle its cool-warm and while moving it is cold (not as cold as I remembered when i got the car but its cold). I noticed that for 10 minutes after the vehicle had been running for a while before that the fans never kicked on. They might have at some point and i didn't notice but I did watch the fans closely for a couple minutes and nothing. The fan fuses all were good. I have not checked the relay yet. My main concern is the noise and lack of consistency.
Also why Do I not have a temperature gauge anywhere on my dash that I can find? I have Speedo, RPM, Gas, and a great clock that is 10 min slower than my stock stereo head unit digital display.
Please HELP!!
What year is your cadi?
Its a 2003 luxury sport CTS.
the heater core is leaking: the heater core control valve is leakng; or the drain for the drip pan beneath the A/C evaporator is clogged and the drip pan is filled with stale condensate.
Have you checked your coolant is it getting lower and lower? Does your carpet on the passenger floor get soaked when its happening? I have an 05 cts and I have the temperature gauge on the far left side of my cluster so I can tell if my car is running hot or not.
CTS Cluster Blog.jpeg
My passenger side mat does not get wet at all. It doesn't smell like coolant at all anymore. It did for 2 days and went away. I don't think the car is getting hot. I have a clock where your temperature gauge is. How would I check for the leaks or clog that you were talking about? What do you think about draining the ac system and re charging it?
The coolant doesn't seem to be getting lower at all. It seems to be holding a consistent level.
Would any of those cause the sound coming from the condenser and/or cause the AC to warm up when the car is at idle?
Re: A/C smelt like coolant and is temperamental now
all of that is pretty hard to check, requires removing the glove box or dash to get to the back of the firewall on the passenger side, i always pay to have mine checked but thats only if i have water on the passenger floor. But doesnt seem like your car is running hot or you would see the levels getting low and water on the passenger floor so thats a good thing, and why the heck would they put a clock there when you have one on the dic lol thats weird of cadillac , also our cars have a cabin filter , and i know i had a sock smell or an unpleasant odor coming from my a/c when i first got the car and i changed the cabin filter and the smell went away, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO_G_87kKD4 check that video out it will show you where its located , also when i first got my car, when i first started the car with the a/c already on, i heard louder than normal ticking sound, when i cut the a/c off, it kind of went away, i though it was the a/c but when i took it to the dealer and they checked, i was 3 quarts low on oil, stupid me i was depending on my oil life on my dic, so i got an oil change and havent had the problem again, so i would check the oil to see if its dirty or low and have it changed to see if that sound stops. Also i have to drive my car very tough for about 5 to 10 minutes to get the fans to kick on.

Re: A/C smelt like coolant and is temperamental now
I've actually had a very similar issue I've been dealing with for the past few weeks. Cold on go and hot on stop. Very strange. I also had my A/C cooland refilled.. No response pretty much just the same. I also have a '03 LS and have not seen any condensation on my passenger floor board. I usually dont take my car to the cadillac becuase the closest dealership I have found to have some shady practices. But summer time is warming up here real fast in NorCal and the on and off heat is no good when sitting in traffic. Please keep us posted with any findings on this issue.
I changed my oil yesterday, checked coolant level again, fans are working and having the same issue. When at speed ac is pretty cold, when at a stop ac warms up. All fluid levels are good and I still here the ticking sound that is speeding up with the rpms. I'm starting to think the clutch on my ac condenser is going out. It seems as if the clutch is always engaged when ac is on. Either that or my ac needs charged or both. Any ideas??
I'll try adding militek and oil to the system now and let you know my outcome.
OK so I took it to a shop and they said it was the ac compressor and clutch along with drier accumulator w orifice tube.

Orange You Glad We Didn't Call It "Banana Wine"?
DONT BE FOOLED! It's made from GRAPES!
Consumers!!! Do NOT buy the so-called "The Crusher Orange wines" on Wine.Woot dot com expecting ANY actual ORANGES in the ingredients! These wines are made ENTIRELY from Chardonnay and Viognier GRAPES NOT oranges! Warn your friends on social media networks and elsewhere!
By leaving the SKINS on certain grapes as they ferment, the winemakers (or wineSCAMMERS) are able to achieve a convincing "ORANGE" hue. Without a SINGLE orange! Furthermore seductive aromas AND flavors from crème brûlēe to buttered popcorn to HONEYCRISP APPLE may appear to be present without involvement of any of those FOODS either! WHERE's the BEEF, winery?
SHAME on you Wine.Woot dot com for perpetrating this delicious ORANGE hoax on the American people of the Internet! And shame on ME for continuing to DRINK and enjoy it! PLEASE SHARE!!!

Rousseff slams 'campaign' against 2014 World Cup
By Laurent Thomet, AFP Monday, June 9, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
SAO PAULO--A strike by subway workers snarling Brazil's biggest city threatened Saturday to disrupt the World Cup as President Dilma Rousseff denounced a "systematic campaign" against the tournament.
The work stoppage over wage demands by staff has caused massive traffic jams for the past three days in Sao Paulo as the city prepares to host the opening game.
With five days to go until kickoff, authorities are hard-pressed to resolve the dispute before more than 60,000 fans descend on the Corinthians Arena for Thursday's game between Brazil and Croatia.
The arena itself has been plagued by delays and construction workers were racing against the clock to finish it before the opening whistle, wiping seats, checking beams and installing wiring in two temporary stands.
The city's subway strike is the latest social upheaval to hit Brazil, where protesters angry at the World Cup's US$11 billion bill have staged demonstrations.
Rousseff said the protests were orchestrated to derail her Workers Party (PT) before October 5 general elections.
"Today, there is a systematic campaign against the World Cup — or rather, it is not against the World Cup but rather a systematic campaign against us," Rousseff said late Friday in the southern city of Porto Alegre.
Rousseff, a leftist political prisoner during the 1964-1985 military dictatorship, said that even in the days when the likes of Pele were leading Brazil to glory, "we did not confuse the World Cup with politics."
The president insists the money spent on the tournament will leave a legacy of modernized airports and transport infrastructure that will benefit Brazil for years to come.
But much of the other promised train and road infrastructure has been shelved, while five of the 12 stadiums have yet to be finished.
Rousseff's popularity has taken a hit, with an opinion poll showing that her support for the October election dropped to 34 percent in June from 37 percent in April.
She still led the pack of candidates, however, with her main rival, social democrat Aecio Neves, falling by one point to 19 percent.
Subway Clashes
In Sao Paulo, a court will rule Sunday on the subway strike's legality, but the union warned it could continue the work stoppage even if its loses the legal battle.
Workers have reduced an initial claim for a 16.5 percent wage hike to 12.2, but employers are offering only 8.7 percent.
The subway standoff led to a clash Friday between picketing strikers and police inside a metro station, with authorities swinging truncheons and firing tear gas to disperse the protesters.

Lost & Found...it's Like Christmas!
Just cleaning out some old stuff and found A BRAND NEW SAUTÉ PAN I never even freaking knew I had. It's been in a box for 7 years. #wtf #win
— Julie DePasquale (@JulieOnTheDrive) January 23, 2014
So this happened yesterday. I can't believe this pan has been sitting in a box for the past 7 years...it was part of a set of pans, and I apparently never took this one out of the box...and forgot about it.
Have you ever done anything like this?? Found something packed away that you had forgotten about years ago? Or maybe bought something, packed it away, forgot where it was, and had to buy a new one?

CHESTER – The board of selectmen has been talking about beginning a computer replacement plan for the town this term but until Thursday, March 20, gave little specific information to the public on the effort. Last week, however, the board discussed how to move forward in more depth, but most were unsure about the specifics of the plan, the computers and how they should proceed.
On a request by the budget committee for more information, the selectmen agreed at their last meeting to look into this computer replacement program they had floated earlier in the year. Selectman Joe Castricone said he would do a walk through with the town's current Information Technology (IT) vendor to determine which computers needed to be replaced. He said he would also look for a second opinion on costs.
Castricone said last week he did not have time to get another informal bid for the project.
Finance manager Joanne Smith had the specifics on the computers and presented those to the board March 20. She noted that her work in reviewing the computers with the IT vendor made it clear to her how little information the town had on the computers.
According to Smith there are 26 computers that were initially contemplated for replacement, at a lease cost of $18,720 over four years for the hardware. But on closer inspection, Smith explained, it appears that 11 computers have a more urgent replacement need.
Eleven computers would cost $7,920 for hardware.
Smith explained that those 11 computers needed an updated operating system, as they were all outdated.
Selectmen's office assistant Pat Martin said the current computers can't always be updated for virus software. Other town employees have noted that the computers have difficulty communicating with each other and are outdated.
A bid from IT vendor Boston Systems for the program includes costs for two servers; various software for the treasurer, town clerk, police department, assessing and finance; a copier lease and a postage meter, at a cost for 26 computers of $62,032.
For 11 computers the total drops to $49,732.
Selectman Jack Cannon asked for justification for replacing the computers, asking which were front line machines, what they were used for and whether the cost savings justified the expense. He said he guessed that most of the machines were used for basic tasks like word processing, spreadsheet analysis and email and thus may suffice with just a software update.
There weren't definite answers to his questions last week, although there was speculation.
Several of the computers scheduled for replacement handle town finances and town clerk/tax collector duties. Eight of them are in the town offices. The others would be for highway, fire and maintenance.
Smith explained that if the computers were not replaced, they would still need software updates at a cost of $250 for the license and installation.
Chair Steph Landau said it was time to move forward with computer replacement. He conceded that he was no computer expert and thus was confident in taking the suggestions of the experts with whom the town is working. He said he would at least like to begin a replacement plan for town computer infrastructure and if the suggestion was to replace 11 this year, then the town should replace 11.
"We don't need to micromanage it," said Landau.
Various boards of selectmen have discussed replacing computers but each term the plan ultimately fizzles.
The board voted to approve 11 new computers in the budget, all voting in favor except for Cannon, who voted no.

This is part of a uni project where I am collaborating with an old man who was in the Navy. I've been scanning in his photos from the 1950's.
I made a 10 minute video of him talking about his pictures in slideshow, but I don't know where I can upload it, any suggestions? Here's a 90 second clip:
How do I link a video from flickr properly?
First outdoor filming footage for our little upcoming 'fun project':
What even...
Thanks again for everyone who voted!
it's short cause I didn't take very much video
and of the video I took, I messed up the focus on a lot of it
its not really creative or anything but it's still cool:
it's burning tic tacs, they burn quite violently
This was fun to make
I've made this with youtube footage.
In english the name is "everything is easier than it looks like."
There are no spoken words, just images. Hope you like it!
another hastily made school project
I'm Travis, and this was a 48 hour film contest. We didn't place (place being the semi-finals) and all involved said it wasn't that great. We're all in our schools tv production class, and James is part of a civil war reenactment group(that I'm now a part of).
I could make a long list of things that we weren't happy with.
Here's a stupid stop motion I made.
And just some fun in the car...REMIIXXXX
I kind of feel like doing some creative video, but I have no damn clue what to do it on. I wish I had an actual camera too, me and my friend are going to be using my Nikon D7000 and his Nikon D3100. We'll see how this goes.
Alright, I guess I can enter my video :D
Canon T3i, 18-55mm lens:
Complied a few short sky time lapses together. Nothing too interesting but it was fun to make.
I just picked up a 7D and decided to make a couple of test shots. Don't have any experience so its pretty basic and boring but lemme know what you guys think. Lens is a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5 with a Canon adapter.
First shot looked like a movie scene. But the rest seemed over edited.

Dear Vincent, Dick, and colleagues,
My name is Julian, DVM, MSC in Virology and PhD candidate fron Universidad Nacional of Colombia (South America). After some discussions with some Virologist including Dr Anne-Lise Haenni (Business Secretary from ICTV) we wrote a disscussion paper about the "Living Nature" of viruses, trying to travel from the virus history to the new concepts and findings about viruses.
This paper were published in the last number of Acta Virol (Viruses, virophages, and their living nature -http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20545437) and I would like to share it with the biggest team of Virologist on the web (I attached you a PDF copy of the paper).
Keep on-line podcasting, you have faithful listeners on this tropical virology area. I hope to meet you in the ASV meeting in Bozeman.
As a pick of the week, I would like to share the best Virology Book that I have ever read: "The Invisible Enemy: A Natural History of Viruses" from Dorothy Crawford, Professor of Virology from the University of Edinburgh.
Best regards
South America

Dear Dr Racaniello and TWIV cast,
I love your show and have been listening to it since Nov 2009 , I know that the topic of viral DNA being integrated into the human genome has come up before , my question is could viral DNA that is in the genome from 100's to 1000's of years ago be expressed and produce a virion ? Could it be possible for a virus to aquire genes from another virus that is in our genome? Thanks for the podcast and all the great work yall put into it.
Sincerely Matt from South Carolina

Hello Vincent and Dick (and all those other experts I have yet to hear on TWiV),
I am an undergraduate microbiologist and the university of Leeds and I wanted to thank you for you marvellous podcast which I discovered last night, we recently broke up for our summer holidays (or vacation as I've heard you say across the pond) and I am finding both TWiV and TWiP very interesting so thanks for that.
I thought I would let you know that the article in New Scientist mentioned in episode 1 titled "Welcome to the virosphere" was what initially tweaked my interest in microbiology and led me to study it in higher education. It seems only appropriate that it is mentioned again as I finish my first year of study.
You're doing a great job with the podcasts, please keep it up!

I was so excited when I started listening to TWIV 87 because I have been a part of Dr. Hatfull's Phagehunting program. I am a high school teacher in Illinois and was accepted to the first teacher outreach program and spent a week in the summer of 2006 at the University of Pittsburgh learning the protocols for isolating phages. The goal was for teachers to get their students involved in authentic research all over the country. That first year I had 8 students in 3 classes who found their own phage. One of them came in after school to finish isolating it and getting it ready to send to Pitt. She named the phage. It was sequenced and we were able to annotate the genome-it was then submitted to GenBank under our names. This was very exciting to me and to my students. I've gone back 3 summers and have trained 3 years worth of students to phagehunt.
While there, we got to listen to lectures on current research in phages and bioinformatics. We also worked closely with Steve Cresawn on bioinformatics. So they are reaching more than just undergrads and local high school students.
The grant has been re-newed so I will go back as long as they'll have me!

By Elizabeth Michaud
Oscar-nominated actress Ellen Page, who turns 27 years old this Friday, came out as a lesbian on Friday in grand style — during a speech at the "Time to THRIVE" conference in Las Vegas, an event hosted by the Human Rights Campaign. Her emotional and inspirational words roused a standing ovation from the crowd and sent ripples through the Internet.
"I'm inspired to be in this room because every single one of you is here for the same reason: you're here because you've adopted, as a core motivation, the simple fact that this world would be a whole lot better if we just made an effort to be less horrible to one another," Page said, speaking to an audience of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning) youth.
This is the first time Page has ever spoken openly about her sexuality.
In case anyone is wondering what astrology inspired this move, you can look right to Chiron. Page is in the midst of two rare Chiron transits — a conjunction to her natal Mercury, and a square to her natal Chiron position. Chiron's conjunction to Mercury represents an inspiration to open up, admit what she feels and to speak her truth.
Chiron's square to natal Chiron is a key life passage where many people reach a point of no return, a place in their growth from which they cannot turn back. This transit is currently happening to everyone born around Page's era of birth. [See noon chart, and 'coming out' chart, on this chart file. We will answer questions about the charts below.]
Page was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. We don't know her exact birth time but we do know that her Sun is in Pisces, a soft, introspective sign, and that her Moon is in dauntless Sagittarius.
Her natal Mercury in Pisces was in retrograde motion at the time of her birth. Pisces is reflective and pensive sign, and Mercury retrograde signifies a sensitive, contemplative and private nature (no matter how public a person may seem on the outside). Pisces is not concerned with the mundane world — its main focus is unity; a spiritual sense of belonging and acceptance. It's therefore not easy for her to express her personal feelings; this was a big step.
Chiron, the first centaur planet, is currently transiting Pisces, and is now passing over Page's natal Mercury and forming a square angle to her natal Chiron. This is a transformative time for Page, as the guiding force of Chiron teaches her how to integrate and release pain and fear.
Mythical Chiron, born as half-man, half-horse, was rejected by his parents, and eventually overcame this, gaining masterful healing abilities as he studied with teachers. Astrologically, Chiron corresponds to strength that can collect around personal challenges — feelings of being unlovable, worthless and abandoned. The healing comes in as Chiron guides us to consciously release these negative emotions, raising our awareness and our acceptance of ourselves.
The Chiron square Chiron transit in Page's chart represents a pressure point; there was tension pushing her to face hidden parts of herself that Mercury in Pisces had kept inside all these years. It's as if she transformed on that stage last Friday, led by Chiron's healing journey inward.
"I also do it selfishly, because I'm tired of hiding. And I'm tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered, and my relationships suffered. And I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of that pain."
Her film credits include Smart People, Inception, Whip It and the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. She was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress, a Golden Globe, and a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for her breakthrough role in 2007's Juno, in which Page played a pregnant teenager.

The central hypothesis of this study is that restoring circulating levels of the adrenal hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in older people with low levels to more youthful levels will be associated with beneficial changes in lean mass, fat mass and bone mass.
This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study. Seventy-two men and 72 women, over 60 years old, who are healthy, will be randomized to receive either a replacement dose of DHEA or placebo for 1 year. The replacement dose of DHEA will bring circulating DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) levels into the range of normal in healthy 20-30 year-old women (approximately 8 micromoles per liter [μM] or 295 micrograms per deciliter [µg/dL]) and men (approximately 10 micromoles per liter [μM] or 368 micrograms per deciliter [µg/dL]).
Fat mass and fat-free body mass will be evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and intra-abdominal fat volume and thigh muscle area will be measured by computed tomography (CT). Bone mineral density (BMD) of the total body, lumbar spine, and proximal femur will be measured by DXA and biochemical markers of bone resorption and formation. Glucose tolerance and insulin response will be evaluated using an oral glucose tolerance test.
If this study confirms the results of a previous preliminary study, the current study is likely to impact future scientific study regarding the role of DHEA deficiency in the biology of aging and its role as a therapeutic agent for the prevention of sarcopenia.

The indoor temperature can be controlled with different levels of accuracy depending on the building and its HVAC system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential productivity benefits of improved temperature control, and to apply the information for a cost-benefit analyses of night-time ventilative cooling, which is a very energy efficient method of reducing indoor daytime temperatures. We analyzed the literature relating work performance with temperature, and found a general decrement in work performance when temperatures exceeded those associated with thermal neutrality. These studies included physiological modelling, performance of various tasks in laboratory experiments and measured productivity at work in real buildings. The studies indicate an average 2\% decrement in work performance per degree oC temperature rise, when the temperature is above 25 oC. When we use this relationship to evaluate night- time ventilative cooling, the resulting benefit to cost ratio varies from 32 to 120.}, attachments = {https://eetd.lbl.gov/sites/all/files/publications/lbnl-53191.pdf}, author = {Olli Sepp{\"a}nen and William J.

Ben McKinley (West Coast), Cameron Richardson (North Ballarat, VFL)
David Hale (Hawthorn)
- North Melbourne have traded David Hale and Pick 52 to Hawthorn for the Compensation Pick the Hawks got for Campbell Brown and Pick 71
- West Coast have sent Ben McKinley to North Melbourne for Pick 86 ( Fifth Round)
- Gold Coast have sent Prelisted Player, Cameron Richardson (VFL, North Ballarat) to North Melbourne for Pick 35 (Second Round)
17, 27, 69, 71, 98
(Yes, I am about to mention the new interchange rules again) With the new interchange rules and with them having two fine ruckman (McIntosh and Goldstein) and returning forward who can play ruck in Petrie, David Hale became expendable and it seemed the right time to cash in that chip. They received an end of first round pick for him (and immediately cashed it in) from the Hawks and this will add to there growing list of young players that is looking very impressive. There other two trades saw them give up draft picks for tall players. Ben McKinley had become expendable and will get every chance to replace Hale up forward with the Roos. Cam Richardson comes out of one of North's VFL affiliate clubs, North Ballarat, and had a lot of raps on him. North and Gold Coast aligned in a win/win situation that saw them both get something they wanted out of the prelisting system. North got ahead of the pack to pick the young defender, which will be a nice strengthening factor to there backline while letting Hansen play forward more and Gold Coast picked up another draft pick to add another young high pick to there list.
So I think North have done very well in this trade week, adding to there stradegy of more youth. Time will tell if it will work out in the end! What do you think? Did they get worth for Hale? Did they over pay for Richarson? Is McKinley a list clogger?

A closer look at Friday's US Non-Farm Payrolls report
Friday's US Non-farm payrolls surprised to the upside and showed that 146,000 new jobs were created during November despite the impact of Hurricane Sandy earlier in the month. The overall unemployment rate dropped to 7.7%. Surely the drop in the unemployment rate and a stronger than expected monthly report is a sign of good news, but we are approaching the figures with extreme caution. A closer look at the figures will show that the labour market conditions in the US are not improving and are in fact deteriorating as the most recent figures suggest.

I have just about 7,000 miles on my 09 WRX Wagon and there are few items that's started to become slightly annoying. Nothing horrible, but I'm hoping there are easy remedies for each. I tried searching but found various posts from earlier Subaru vehicles... none of them really seemed to apply to what I've been experiencing.
Problem #1: The AC has an extremely odd smell when operating, especially during the morning drive to work. It's kind of a semi-sweet, dry, chemical smell that I was hoping would go away but it hasn't. It started from day 1 of ownership.... I'm going to try the water / bleach (3:1) spray into the intake but does anyone else have any suggestions on why this is happening?
Problem #2: The clutch pedal has a distinct metallic click when I push the pedal in during the first two inches of travel. It doesn't happen all the time though, so it comes and goes. It's pretty loud during certain parts of the drive and I can quickly push the clutch pedal in / out of the first two inches feeling a notch (sensor switch?) and hearing the audible click once the pedal hits it.
Problem #3: I hate rattles. They annoy the crap out of me with any car I've had and I'll tear the entire dash apart to find it. There's a pretty consistent rattle inside the dash on top of the radio unit about 6 inches before the windshield. Anyone else?
If anyone has some tips I'd greatly appreciate it.

"I don't think I've ever written a review for a tiny prints order before, even though I have ordered every Christmas card, baby announcement, etc. for the past 5 years from this site. However, I just opened these cards and was blown away by the thick paper stock, crisp printing, and vibrant colors. These change of address cards look and feel great and I can't wait to send them out to our family and friends (although I'm honestly a little nervous they'll think we overspent on them because they seem so fancy!). I would order these again in a heartbeat. I did choose a different cursive font a little bit to make the announcement feel a little more casual (we are a family with young kids), so don't feel like you're limited to the formal fonts shown in the sample..."
"The card is adorable and I've gotten lots of nice comments. Unfortunately, it seems the designer review took proofreading into their own hands and inserted a comma where I didn't intend to have one."
"The online tools for creating my personalized card, from a selection of templates to start from was straightforward and intuitive. The finished product was delivered very quickly - within a week, and was exactly what I was hoping for."
"This product made it very easy and fast to let everyone know my new address. I didn't want to send a postcard because it takes longer to get there and your info is exposed. These cards come with an envelope and are printed so you just have to address the envelope. Or not since they will print you envelopes if you want. I addressed my own."
"I bought these announcements two weeks before moving and was a bit concerned about production time. They arrived exactly as promised, right on time. A call to customer service about my split order was handled efficiently by super friendly staff. The cards themselves were great quality and they were even able to accommodate a special request for a an adjustment I could not do myself with the online ordering system! After this experience I will definitely be ordering from them again!"
