A friend sent me these stories:
Apparently a man in Italy was jailed for having loud sex. Well specifically the sex noises of his lover. He's been jailed for six months. For being too good at it? Guess I won't have to worry about that.
Also in Italy, a couple was awarded $28,000 because their sex life diminished following a car accident. Maybe the husband can spend that money at the Sex Cauldron.

DDRdrive tries to win friends and influence people
Subject: General Tech | January 17, 2011 - 11:31 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you've don't think you've heard of a company called DDRdrive then you must have forgotten a review written by Allyn back in May 2009. It compared favourably to the ioDrive and is one of the few products out there that can beat a high quality SSD at transfer speeds but it also brings along the disadvantages of a DDR based PCIe drive, it is not bootable. Along with that rather large issue is the maximum storage capacity of 4GB which makes SSDs look huge in comparison as well as a price

The partnership between nVIDIA and TSMC (well, between TSMC and any of their customers) has not been without it's strained periods but they have remained together for a little over a decade now. They have just hit a rather large benchmark, the shipping of the one billionth processor designed by nVIDA and fabbed by TSMC. There is no breakdown at DigiTimes to tell us what percentage each of nVIDIA's chip families make up this billion but you can bet the G92 makes up a goodly portion of the overall sum.&nb

AMD playing follow up with ARM architecture support
Subject: General Tech | January 12, 2011 - 11:14 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As you may have seen on the live broadcast of TWITCH from CES 2011 and from the editorial that Josh published of nVIDIA's Tegra 2 and Project Denver, nVIDIA's Tegra 2 supports ARM architecture at a high level. Boot time is quickened and the performance is a large step above previous generations. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about AMD, as their adoption pace is nowhere near the speed of nVIDIAs. DigiTimes reports that many notebook makers feel AMD is really dragging their heels when it comes to making processors to support the existing ARM architecture. That could spell trouble for AMD in the ultraportable market and is perhaps a contributing factor to the dismissal of Dirk Meyer from the top spot of AMD.
"AMD starting to develop display processors to support ARM architectures is correct in terms of marketability and market potential, but its pace is too slow compared with Nvidia's success with Tegra 2, according to Taiwan-based notebook makers."

Secure your peripherals with NZXT's Bunker
Subject: General Tech | January 11, 2011 - 03:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The NZXT Bunker looks similar to a fan controller in that it is installed into a 5.25" bay, though the function is rather different. On the faceplate are 4 USB 2.0 connections and behind the scenes the Bunker attaches to an internal USB port on your motherboard. The purpose of this device is to secure your wired USB peripherals and it does so with a locking mesh door that covers the connections, with enough space on the bottom for a cord to come through without being pinched, but not enough room for the actual USB connector to be removed and slid out.

Chocolate-Orange Silk Mousse is lusciously thick and smooth, as well as super simple to make. A healthy, unique, and vegan dessert!
I'm in love…
With this recipe. I was skeptical about the idea at first (take a look at the ingredients), but I'm completely sold now. It's one of those freaky sneaky recipes that tastes so scrumptious no one will ever be able to tell it's vegan and almost guilt-free! I served this mousse to my boyfriend and sneakily waited until he finished eating to tell him it had tofu in it. He looked at me in shock. While eating the mousse he said something along the lines of "I wish I could fill a pool with this and swim in it." He had no idea this mousse was made from tofu. No one will. Promise.
By the way – to make this dessert 100% vegan be sure to use vegan chocolate wafer cookies (or chocolate graham crackers if you can't find wafers) when making your cookie crumbs. If you've never purchased tofu before, I found it in the alternative refrigerator section of my grocery store – where all the dairy-free and vegan butters and other soy products are.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: The marriage of chocolate and orange is blissful. Fresh yet rich in a way that makes your mouth smile and your eyes close to savor the taste.
Texture: Lusciously thick and smooth, you'd never guess tofu provides the base for this mousse.
Ease: Super easy, way easier than traditional mousse.
Appearance: I love the garnish of extra cookie crumbs and orange zest. This is the perfect chance to use any pretty little glass serving dishes you might have. Mine are miniature trifle dishes from Sur la Table.
Pros: Easy, healthy, wonderfully delicious. It really doesn't get much better than that.
Cons: Absolutely none.
Would I make this again? 100% yes.
How to make Chocolate-Orange Silk Mousse
*Note: To make chocolate wafer crumbs, place chocolate wafer cookies (or chocolate graham crackers) in a zip-top bag and crush until fine crumbs form using a rolling pin or mallet. Alternatively, crush in a food processor.
1 (12.3-ounce) package reduced-fat silken tofu (1 1/2 cups)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest, plus more for garnish
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup chocolate wafer crumbs (about 3 ounces)
Puree tofu in a food processor, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth.
In a small bowl combine the chocolate and cocoa powder. Pour boiling water over mixture and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and orange zest. Add the sugar, a little at a time, stirring until completely incorporated and smooth.
Add chocolate mixture to tofu in food processor. Pulse mixture until smooth and completely combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
Layer chocolate mousse and cookie crumbs in dessert dishes. Garnish with a final sprinkle of cookie crumbs and orange zest. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

yummy, I am so making it over the weekend! My bf seems to be allergic to the word ' vegan' , so I will "forget" to mention the tofu part 😉 Thanks for another fab recipe!
I would never guess by looking at this that there is tofu in it. That IS sneaky! I'm going to have to try it out.
Chocolate and orange are such a great duo! I've always been intrigued with desserts made with tofu – I'll have to give them one a try!
This looks amazing! I'm all for sneaky desserts so I'll have to try this out. I got some tofu to do something like this before, but I was too scared and eventually put it in the freezer. But this recipe inspires me! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I hope you do eventually try it out, it definitely surprised me! Tofu… who would have thought!?
The picture is perfect and after reading the recipe what amazes me more is that you tried it in the first place!
Interesting, since it's with tofu. It looks so good though I might have to try it!
I'm very interested in trying this, but I am concerned that the orange zest is gritty, or at least detracts from the smoothness of the mousse. What was your feeling about the orange zest's texture in this recipe?
I didn't notice the orange zest at all within the mousse! I have a super sharp Microplane zester that creates very fine pieces of zest. Also, really scrubbing your orange clean and using an organic orange helps.
This mousse must be amazing! All the ingredients are so perfect, I bet the final result is even better than the sum of all its parts :-). And the pics are gorgeous too – can go right to a cooking magazine cover!
I LOVED this recipe!! I am vegan, and have been longing for chocolate recipes that are vegan-friendly. Thank you SOOOO much! I didn't feel like orange when I made it, so I omitted the orange zest. I also replaced the bittersweet chocolate with extra dark chocolate, and I replaced the wafer crumbs with sliced strawberries and toasted almonds (using that as my layering and topping). Otherwise I followed the recipe to the T. It turned out AMAZING! Thank you again for such a delicious recipe! I'm going to make this all the time for my friends and family.

Overexpression of des(1-3) insulin-like growth factor 1 in the mammary glands of transgenic mice delays the loss of milk production with prolonged lactation. Biology of Reproduction. 73:1116-1125. Interpretive Summary: During prolonged lactation, milk production rates declines through a process we refer to as secretory diminution. The goal of this study was to determine if insulin-like growth factor I, a hormone known to support mammary secretory cell survival and metabolism, could delay secretory diminution during prolonged lactation. For this study we used genetically engineered mice that overexpress insulin-like growth factor I in their mammary glands during lactation. The overexpression of the hormone allowed these mice to maintain greater milk production than that found in normal mice. These studies may help us understand why milk production rates decrease during the declining phase of lactation.
Technical Abstract: During prolonged lactation, the mammary gland gradually loses the capacity to produce milk. In agricultural species, this decline can be slowed by administration of exogenous growth hormone (GH), which is believed to act through insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Our previous work demonstrated delayed natural mammary gland involution in des(1-3)IGF1-overexpressing transgenic mice (Tg[Wap-des{1-3}IGF1]8266 Jmr), hereafter referred to as WAP-DES mice. The present study tested the hypothesis that overexpressed des(1-3)IGF1 would delay the loss of milk production during prolonged lactation. Accordingly, we examined lactational performance in WAP-DES mice by artificially prolonging lactation with continual litter cross-fostering. Over time, lactational capacity and mammary development declined in both WAP-DES and control mice. However, the rate of decline was 40% slower in WAP-DES mice. Mammary cell apoptosis increased by 3-fold in both groups during prolonged lactation but was not different between genotypes. Plasma concentrations of murine IGF1 were decreased in WAP-DES mice, while those of the transgenic human IGF1 were elevated during prolonged lactation. Phosphorylation of the mammary IGF1 receptor was increased in the WAP-DES mice, but only during prolonged lactation. Plasma prolactin decreased with prolonged lactation in nontransgenic mice but remained high in WAP-DES mice. The WAP-DES mice maintained a higher body mass and a greater lean body mass during prolonged lactation. These data support the conclusion that overexpressed des(1-3)IGF1 enhanced milk synthesis and mammary development during prolonged lactation through localized and direct activation of the mammary gland IGF1 receptor and through systemic effects on prolactin secretion and possibly nutrient balance.

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)

- - exhaust and manifold sizes (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f51/exhaust-manifold-sizes-45449/)
exhaust and manifold sizes
bit of an odd technical question, and feel free to call me stupid due to my ignorance.
I was looking at exhaust parts earlier today. I noticed on one aftermarket piece that the inlet of the down pipe from the turbo was 75mm and the outlet was was 65mm.
however, the pipe size of most of the exhausts I looked at was 80mm.
wouldn't having 80mm all the way through give you the best results?
wouldn't having the sizes get gradually larger, and not decrease in the middle still be better?
maybe I should have put this in the exhaust area... sorry
What you have is a 3"->2.5" downpipe taper. That's normal. Your downpipe was probably designed to fit the stock catback.
Not a problem unless you make too much power for 2.5".
power wise it's pretty much stock numbers.
just thought that was weird how the sizes fluctuated so much.
seems as if it would be inefficient not to have it be uniform from the turbo back.
A little inefficiency is good. I had a catless 3in straight pipe from the turbo to the rear axle where it split into to 2.5in pipes. No mufflers, resonators, or cats. A very unrestricted exhaust set up. I just recently put a 3in Invidia N1 system on it, the car pulls a lot harder, and it is overall smoother when in boost. On top of that, the car sounds much better now.

That's purely placebo and nothing else. At your power level (based on the mods on your profile) 2.5" flows more than enough. If anything I'll bet you your old straight pipe setup flowed MORE than your current 3" one. If you were making 100 whp more than you are, then it might be enough of a restriction to cause a noticeable change, but certainly not at stage 2.
Definitely not placebo, the car is much quieter and less aggressive sounding, so I'm not getting the "oh my new catback adds X amount of power" effect, I had no imaginings that it would pull harder with the new system. I have driven my car with an open down pipe, a couple catbacks and with straight pipes, the difference in the pull between them is noticeable.
^That is a dyno run with a F-150 eco boost, open downpipe vs performance catback, open downpipe nets a loss of 18tq and a few hp. Obviously this is a high torque application with a completely different motor, but this is all I could find with a quick search of google.
Also exhaust performance isn't based on how much air it flows, the downpipe, immediate area behind the turbo effects the way the turbo spools though. It is essentially the velocity of the air and the vacuum effect of the air pulses. The pulses of exhaust gas create a vacuum behind each pulse, this vacuum helps pull the next pocket of gas from the cylinder. There is a balancing act between rpm, velocity, pipe size, and vacuum efficiency. The higher the RPM the higher the velocity will be, if the pipe is too small at high rpm the pulses become more like a water faucet instead of a sprinkler, and the vacuum effect looses efficiency. Wider piping slows the velocity and allows the vacuum to be efficient, but at lower rpm the velocity is going to be too slow, hence a balancing act. Turbo'd cars aren't effected as much by this as a N/A engine, but they are still effected.
dyno run with a F-150 eco boost, open downpipe vs performance catback,
just to be clear.
is the red line with a catalytic converter, and the blue line without?
Brockton, you seem to have missed the most important factor in calculating exhaust pipe size: exhaust gas volume! The 2.5L 4-cylinder does not displace a whole lot of air. The volume coming out the back is small proportionally to this. Yes the turbo increases the air density over an N/A motor but the engine is low compression which compensates for a lot of this. As boost and RPM increase, you do kick out additional exhaust. It is important to increase the volume accordingly but as brfatal mentioned, a near-stock setup is not constrained by it's exhaust. One of our moderators here did a test on a dyno of removing the cat back entirely on a stage 2 car, there wasn't a measurable gain.
Now, talk about a larger motor and things change.
Saying a 3 inch dump (not balanced) being the same as a restrictive stock catback is not surprising to me, nor disproves my point. One is too restrictive, the other is too open. After market exhaust systems, for the most part, have a balanced diameter and flow, and have been proven to add hp/tq over and over again on dynos.

months, but it will eventually happen if we keep kicking down the can. we want to prove to the world that we have a solution and if it takes a few months to get there and higher taxes for a while, big deal, we will get there. that's got to be the plan not just the same nonsense. >> yeah, but larry, that's part of your point, but jonas says we're not in a bad recession, we're certainly not in a good recovery. and if we just keep falling little bit by little bit, maybe as much as jump off the cliff, but it's certainly a slippery slope. >> brenda, the damage is already being done. we saw it in november retail sales and companies delaying activity already and we know the ratings agencies are minutes away, we're right to fix the problem in the long run than making a bandaid short-term deal. it doe't get recovery. >> we're going to get a bandaid deal and that's the only political way to do it. number one, held together with safety pins and the arguments if you really like the roaring
1:06 am
economy right now dealing with all of this malarky, we'll get the same thing next ar, we know that. the knowns are known. the unknowns, unknowns is what types of she nangans to come up with a gimmick and the market won't like that. >> gary b, will there have to have gimmick? the president won the election and if it pushed over, blame the republicans? >> well, brenda, i think there will be a gimmick and that's unfortunately the way that washington works these days, larry had a phrase, he said meaningful spending difficulties. we know that there's not going to be any meaningful spending cuts, the's not going to be meaningful spending cuts three weeks from now, it's not going to be there three years fro now. let's at least get over the psychological hurdle of the fiscal cliff. move on, and put some bandaid together and then hopefully, the next group in there, minus
1:07 am
obama, starts to cure this four years from now, because nothing's going to happen in the next four years good. but maybe we get through the fiscal cliff, but then another fiscal cliff comes, that's the whole point of this. >> in fact, and there was a proposal this week to try it get rid of the fiscal cliffs and no longer give congress full power to extend the debt. but i think, i'll tell you what, i'm kind of curious to see the other guys, i think we're going over the fiscal cliff because i thk that congress would much rather have us go over the fiscal cliff and then vote to lower taxes and increase spending and they can't bare to raise taxes and reduce spending and that's where we'll end up in three months and have a vote to lower taxes and increase spending. >> jonas what does it do in the short-term, i know you're talking long-term. but short. >> they're scaring erybody about this, like we've got to keep pushinon or the world is going tond and it's not as bad a the politicians are pretending it is even.
1:08 am
look, it's not a good thing, but psyched into a level and it will be worse than the real effect of having the tax increase on the government level and that's the danger, using it as a tool to get their policies on boats sides of doing this, and they're going to cause -- the first recession is caused by psyching themselves into it and making people scared that things are going to end if we let it happen. >> toby, the final wor re? >> yeah, now, we've seen this movie before and know how it ends and now, at some point, it's start after tragedy for the united states and are we going to vote them in-- >> i guess we're partially to blame. >> yes. >> first, wal-mart, and now mickey d's? unions taking on the nation's largest employers, is this big

i'm jamie colby, i'll send you back to bulls and bears on the fox news channel. all of your latest news and headlines on foxnews.com. >> brenda: unions now taking their fights over wages to mcdonald's in new york city. from mickey d's to wal-mart to one of our nation's busiest airports to key shipping ports. big labor is flexing its big muscles after the election and gary b, you say it's a big problem for us, the consumers, how so? >> absolutely, brenda, look, everyone should realize what unions are, unions are a little monopoly in the company and exercising the the monopoly powers, raise the
1:13 am
rates and this days the wages for their employees through an unsustainable level. so what the employees have to do is pass those costs on to the consumer. you know, you just have to ask, brenda, where have unions made an industry more competitive? i can think of examples where they haven't, airlines, steel, auto, across the board, governments they put out of business, if even can argue they've made it more competitive. i'd stand upor unions and i can't find an example. >> prices have ge up in all of those industries and you say, fast foods, too cheap? >> yeah, i mean, i'll tell you what, i don't actually believe that we'll see unions at the fast food restaurants, but i actually wish we would. because, the fact is you could make these jobs more attractive to 12 million unemployed, you know, we've actually seen two little inflation over the last four years and that's why the fed had to turn to some of these extreme measures to boost the enomy.
1:14 am
and fast food isoo cheap. in fact, i'll tell you what, if anybody comes out of an mcdonald's restaurant complaining about the higher price, they're eaten too much and essentially risking their health. >> brenda: but that was by the teenagers. jonas, unions do have momentum right now. do you think it's going to have impact and raise prices for us? >> it will raise the prices for us. it would have to take off. you can't unionize this-- we don't want to make the lowest jobs and becoming more attractive. that's how you rever the natural flow and reverses everything, and get a pension for wking at mcdonald's? and it's a transie work and the union concept is a career where you have a skill like trucking or flying an airplane and you're going to be there for 30 years and accrue benefits. no one is going to pay dues into a job they're going to be at for a year, six months and no one is going to join in
1:15 am
union. it could raise prices if it were to happen. >> brenda: according to the union wins-- >> the family struggling at mcdonald's addicted to the dollar menu and the on food stamps unfortunately. and the workers themselves. see mcdonald's take the 7,000 restaurants and move to automated and eliminating jobs. so the workers are going t suffer in the battle between big labor and big business. and the workers, the consumers and teas not right. not every jobeeds to be unionized in america. >> brenda: but, tobin, workers point out it's hard to live on $16,000 a year in new york city, which is essentially what they're making. >> well, it's hard to live in new york city on 16,000 a month let me tell you. the bigger issue, this is a new york issue. if you look at the overall economy and overall states we're having states move to right to work state. less unionization. and so, this is a new york
1:16 am
centric problem. you know, the issue of unions, this happens to be the most unionized labor force in the united states. so it sort of lends it self-- they're doing themselves a disservice and if you look at the structure in europe where mcdonald's is very large, le mcdonald's hamburger is a dollar and a half more so that's really added labor costs. >> brenda: gary b, we're the not just talking about fast food, we've seen it at wal-mart, at airports, at the shipping ports and they're flexing their muscles. >> absolutely, and they have the backing of the current administration, and i don't dismiss what jonas says that unions are going to these quote, unquote, highly skilled. i member, i worked in a cardboard box factory, i had to join the teamsters and i worked as a supermarket cashier, i had to join the retail clerks union. so could it get to fast food? absolutely. you're right, brenda, it can
1:17 am
because they're flexing their muscle and have the backing of the current political environment. >> brenda: larry. >> brenda, the younes need to reinvent themselves. if they need to get into my skilled jobs and earn higher wages and that's the key. >> you're right and the idea of organizing the lowest end of the structure here is, as jonas says, the average lifetime of employee i think is nine mons in the fast food busins so it's antithetical and-- >> these an't coal mines and slaughter houses, brenda, these are folding sweaters at the gap, cashiers. >> we need to see more unions in china where they could make a difference, they could lift wages and improve living standards there. >> absolutely. >> and keep chinese, work forces from taking jobs away from america. >> good luck with that. >> brenda: thank you for the debate. and sandy victims facing devastation one month later, so is this any time for the

1:20 am
1:21 am
>> forget the pain, if we fall into the financial ditch. a new regulation in the the health care law might mauck you down right sick right now. the white house just announcing plans to slap health insurers with a fee if they sell insurance dictated
1:22 am
by the president's health care law and larry says you'll pay for it no matter where you live, huh? >> that's right. that's right, you know, administrative costs and health care are already skyrocketing and this is going it to get past the consumer just like everybody else. we already see skyrocketing health care costs, 14% is administrated, it's just too much. >> some parts of the law lower prices and is it net neutral, basically? >> i think the only given is that the country as a whole is goingo spend mor on health care andore people are going to have insurance one way or another, gun point are fine or whatever it is, but the actual premiums among are necessarily going to change. although there are plenty of things to raise your premium, not allowing the insurance company to reject, is going to raise premiums and some premiums are paid for like a tax next year, on capital
1:23 am
gains for wealthy people, it's not health care payment, it's tax moneys to subsidize your premium. the premium is not going up, but overall we'll spend more as a nation. >> brenda: you say we'll save money. the cost of the running the exchanges is incidental than having 60 million americans without health insurance, that costs not just money, but lives. and however, i'll acknowledge ere is a cost, i don't see why a state like arizona, which just take this to the feds, why should they get off for free. if they're too block head today run their own exchange, we shld charge them the fee and that's something that will be passed along. i think in net-net though, i think you'll discover that this is a fee you won't notice. >> brenda: gary b, you agree with na? >> i do not, brenda. i have one overriding principle. when the government is involved, and invariably costs go up.
1:24 am
look at any, for example, any construction problem in the federal government domain over the past, what, 200 years, that's come in on budget or on time. the government gets involved, things get mucked up. and they don't know how to run health care exchanges. they don't know how to build bridges and stuff like that, or one other thing, if the price is kept wn, as a couple of my panels have said, then, supply is limited. so you can have low cost for health care and wait nine months to see a gynecologist or higprices and get in tomorrow. >> toby, starting january 1, a whole bunch of fees from healthare are going to be kicking in. >> yeah, a lot. and think we are missing the big point here. 3.5% fee is nothing compared to not being able to medically underwrite this, in this law, they see that every insurance company right by age, family size and tobacco use and literally like the company
1:25 am
selling life insurance policies after somebody died or after a home insurance after it burned down and we can see the premiums up 40% in many parts, that's what happened in new york. >> brenda: and that's got to be the last word. coming up. >> i need your attention please. >> brenda: boy, talk about a fema fiasco, sandy victims still waiting for help. lashing out at fema workers in a town hall this week and find out how you can avoid relying on the government agency if a disaster strikes near you. . >> fema ain't doing nothing. still, they keep going aund in a circle and they go denied,

BBC Review
...If you're a fan of wistful Stereolab-like pop then do please step forth.
Harry Holgate 2007
The Bird Of Music is the second album from Au Revoir Simone, following up from 2005's Verses Of Comfort And Assurance. They're three girls from Brooklyn: Erika Forster, Annie Hart and Heather D'Angelo, who take to the studio with a synthesizer each and D'Angelo's drum machine for accompaniment. This makes more sense than you might think as, by their very nature, synths can provide almost any sound you could possibly wish for and the drum machine complements the 80s feel conjured by the girls' Rolands.
Using this simple set-up, combined with a trio of lilting voices which land somewhere between Beth Orton and Isobel Campbell, they trade in bright ethereal synth-pop. Homespun drumbeats provide a base for the three keyboards to build upon. And build they do; with a vengeance. The more you listen to this album the more sounds you can hear. From their most simple and effective in the album's opening track, ''The Lucky One'', where a heartbeat drumbeat is overlaid with tambourines and hammond organ-esque piano, through the rich textured fatness of ''I Couldn't Sleep'', to the pure joyous pop of ''Night Majestic'', The Bird Of Music yields more with every listen.
Influences are worn not quite on the sleeve but you can detect a little Belle & Sebastian in there, a little New Order, a little Kenickie and even a little We Are Scientists (some of their energy and wordplay may have transferred when the two bands toured together in 2006).
It's got electro, it's got a waltz beat in there (the single ''Fallen Snow''), and they carry you along in a drifting dance of melody and soft shades of harmony. If you're easily put off by Casiotone, ethereal wanderings then don't worry yourself, but if you're a fan of wistful Stereolab-like pop then do please step forth.

norway my friend. I emigrated , though,but pay 100usd a month to live in a socialized marina (only myself,too!) and havent had one blip in 2 years . In fact hassling doesnt really exist here as they have natural law competing healthily with the written. People are very respectful of privat space and well,you just wouldnt believe it. Ive been planning to move to florida but its a big decision as to what to give up. I get only 4-5 months decent sailing and with that alot of rain. Its extrememly beautiful,the fjords and such.
I pay 40usd to haul my boat and a little more if I want it inside the big båthus. The winters are like Scotland as we get the gulfcoast patterns so dont believe the hype bout scandoland.
good luck
|Definitely old thread pre katrina.I am from Louisiana & a coon ass & can not think of a worse place to be than nola.marc ps slidell/covington used to be ok.
|Seafrontiersman, 51 posts ,you been here for almost a year and you still hav'nt learned to check the dates? . Anyway , thanks for the heads up on the area, Now I know where to aviud...unless of course I wanna get rid of all my drugs Rick
I live in Florida but I work in Lousiana and have done so for years and I can tell you that Lousiana is not so much a state or a geographical entity as a scheme to separate you from your money as fast as possible.
I can assure you that you will be cheated, threatened, or otherwise taken advantage of within a year of arrival. Also, the people are largely ignorant, insular, and violent; the whole "Southern Hospitality" bit is a sham. The whole lower half of Lousiana is VERY dirty and the "if you ain't a coonas, you ain't ****" attitude is pretty grating after a while.
On the other hand if you have oxycontin, lortabs, or methamphetamines to trade to the locals, you can get anything you want as long as you give the local police a cut.
Just telling you what I've observed for the last ten years. Good luck!

Hey Happy New Year I just got back from visiting my parents in Colorado for the real Christmas thing which was really a mess this year (long story) anyway you might not want to walk down Dowman Street at night but you can drive to the topless bar where they have guards and allot of white foke hahahah what a town. Never a dull moment here. This is the address and phone for the marina 30 slips are filling up but they have quite a few still open if you want I can look at the slips for you and tell you if it is crammed in the corner or if you like it out on the end like we do I will look.
South Shore Harbor
6701 Stars and Stripes Blvd
70126 504-245-3152
I am thinking Oke Harbor in Slidel may be a good spot but I need to do some home work on that one I hear rumors about theft which is not an issue here as we have guards and the place is gated. The park area around the marina is cobblestone and landscaped fairly nice.

you mean you cant walk around at nite with out a loadad weapon

Oak Harbor is in Slidel east side of Louisiana close to the Rigilies which is the way to the gulf by a bayou that is grass and scrub trees not cyprus trees that winds its way like a river out to sea actually to the Missisippi Sound. It is the way you get into Lake Poncentrain where the other marinas are. We have two New Orleans municipal marinas east end and west end west is a cool place but the manager is a real pain in the ass he also hates boaters and was hired by the city as a token manager of ethnic background. Nice place to visit also more money than east end. So New Orleans Municipal Marina on Stars and Stripes Blvd has slips on a quarterly pay arangment which works out for about $107.00 per month good electric concrete piers security guard full time,carded gate parking a yacht club and Ballys Casino River boat. The neighborhood that is around the area is the only draw back kind of rough area.

In my feild of work (allied health) I can pretty much go anywhere I want.I am looking for places to go in the future and since I have parents on both coasts new orleans sounds like a good "go between".I have a 30 foot sloop that has been minimally damaged by one of this years storms.I am now in a haul out yard that has no problem with so called "extended stays"(thats a good term,Ill use it more often)and will probably be here until april.I woluld like to have specific names and locations of marinas.I would bet that damage control fee is to cover some storm damage and the like.If you can,get me fone numbers so I can call them for myself.much appreciated.the name here is Eric

I think I will soon be labeled a radical if you have read some of my other posts but what the hell. We my wife and I bouight our boat after I almost died a couple of years ago and the doctors said remove the stress. I had been a sailor all my life so back to the sea we went the first time for her. I have been shocked and dismayed at all the control checks and measures they have placed on boaters. The marine patrol running around like a swat team in high speed boats armed and dangerous useing things like this Home Land Security crap to overstep thier boundries. Anyway hassel free not happinin not to bad then you need to come check out New Orleans thier are a couple of nice marinas cheep and not to much hassel one is a liveabord the other is an extended stay no liveabord I will get you the info on them if you want OH both require $350.000 damage coverage cost me $160 a year and then $325 every three months for a forty foot slip. The marina has a security gate showers laundry security guards casino concreat piers good water??? and good electric.You pay for phone and electric no mail you have to have a PO box.
where else to liveaboard hassle free
I would like to know just where else can someone go and live on board at a reasonable rate with out the red tape ********.I know these places do exist,I was at one for 5 years,but I am in a situation now where I can basically go anyplace I want.I can find work anywhere in my line of work,and I dont care if its on a body of water way way inland,even on the st lawrence seaway,I can take the time to go.I can take a big bend route,a coastal route,but I already know califungus is out of the question.not that its too far mind you,its just that I took a silent vow never to return there,except for my next trip back from hawaii.besides,I heard the harbor patrols there now carry guns

Pacific Grove to get high-speed Internet
PACIFIC GROVE, Ca;of/ - The city of Pacific Grove has inked a deal with SiFi Networks to bring high speed Internet to the area.
PG will be one of two cities in the state testing the company's new kind of Internet infrastructure. Essentially, the company will build a fiber optic network throughout the city. It will include SiFi's special wastewater fiber technology, or WFT, which runs fiber cables through the sewer networks already in place.
Once complete, SiFI officials say the the infrastructure will be leased to service providers and could result in bringing speeds of up to 100 times faster Internet than is currently available in PG.
For further details and information on the company's technology, visit the SiFi Networks website.

National team jobs just don't appeal to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal manager revealed at Friday afternoon's press conference that he had turned down the role of French manager in the past. It has been widely speculated that he was also offered positions in charge of England and Japan.
Ahead of the FA Cup tie with Blackburn the 57-year-old gave his reasons for staying in the club game.
"I never felt attracted to them because I don't find [them] as important as people do," he said. "I turned France down already.
"I just find in national teams there is more national pride involved than love of football."

The RAF has dispatched the first batch of UK aid to minorities under threat from Islamist fighters in Iraq.
Supplies including drinking water and tents are due to be dropped from C130 aircraft from RAF Brize Norton to help members of the Yazidi religious minority trapped on a mountainside by Islamic State (IS) militants.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond is expected to chair a meeting of the government's Cobra committee this afternoon to assess the crisis.
The US has begun airstrikes against IS targets engaging Kurdish forces near the key city of Irbil, but Britain has ruled out military action at this stage.
Instead, David Cameron has signalled the UK will focus on delivering humanitarian aid - with large numbers of people displaced by fighting and the advance of IS in the north.
Thousands of Yazidis have been driven into the barren Sinjar mountains, and hundreds of women from the minority seized by the militants.
The UK's £8 million emergency package includes reusable filtration containers, tents, and solar lights which can also recharge mobile phones.
Some £3 million will go to charities and NGOs already on the ground and helping displaced people in northern Iraq, and £2.5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
A further £500,000 will be used to ensure Kurdish and UN systems can co-ordinate properly.Reuse content

What tests are used to determine if a child is a candidate for epilepsy surgery?
As previously mentioned, surgery is only preferred once it is clear that the child is resistant to or does not respond well to antiepileptic medications. Many tests are used to make this determination.
Electroencephalograms (EEG) are very important in determining the type of epileptic seizures as well as the area of the brain that is responsible for the seizure disorder. When the routine EEG (usually one hour long) does not give enough information, the child might need to be hospitalized (usually in special EEG wards) for a prolonged EEG with video monitoring. During the hospital admission (which may last several days) the EEG is recorded continuously throughout the entire day. The goal is to record epileptic events for further analysis. In some children it is necessary to stop the antiepileptic medications while the child is in the hospital to facilitate the emergence of an epileptic event.
Neuroimaging studies are very important to help determine the presence of brain lesions. A CT scan and an MRI, in some cases, might be helpful to point to the specific area of the brain that is abnormal. These tests are very effective to identify developmental abnormalities, brain tumors, scars due to prior bleeding events, or the presence of vascular malformations that might be responsible for the epileptic seizures.
In some children, functional MRI (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetoencephalography (MEG), or ictal SPECT (an SPECT obtained at the time of the epileptic event) might also be indicated in order to determine the area of the brain to be excised.
In some cases the localization of the epileptogenic area requires invasive monitoring. In these children, electrodes that record the brain activity are placed either inside the brain (intracerebral electrodes) or directly on top of the brain (subdural electrodes). This procedure may be done at the time of the surgery or days before, in which case it requires a small operation and admission to the hospital for several days for continuous EEG recording.
Resective surgery (removing specific areas of brain tissue) may result in functional deficits. The functional deficits relate to the area of the brain involved in the surgery. For example, operations near the motor area might result in motor paralysis; surgery in the posterior area of the brain (the occipital lobe) might result in visual deficiencies. Of particular importance is the surgery that is performed in or near the temporal lobe which, among other functions, is responsible for language comprehension and memory. In such cases a special test, called the WADA test, is performed to ensure that removal of the local lesion does not result in severe memory or language functional deficits.
Once the evaluation is completed the team will decide if the patient is a viable candidate for surgery and in that case, what type of surgery is indicated.
It is worthwhile to mention that not all of the above-mentioned tests are necessary in all patients.

Sorry - this is going to be long. Some background, I'm one of 5 siblings and we lost our mother to cancer when we were children. Being the eldest girl, I was expected to shoulder a lot of the responsibilities for the house and care of younger siblings, but as I was still a child myself I was never able to do this well. So I grew up, not having my own needs met, not being able to meet the family's needs and feeling like a let-down to my father. I've always felt like a let-down to my father but things changed when I gave him his first grandchild. DS made my father and his wife so happy, they all bonded so well and we spent as much time together as we could. They couldn't lavish enough time and attention on him. When my brother had a child a year later, the second grandchild just enhanced the happy family illusion. I also had a second child and all 3 grandchildren were equally loved and made to feel like part of the family. Everything changed when my sister got pregnant and decided to have the baby even though the child's father would not be involved. As a single mom receiving no financial help from the child's father, she was reliant on part-time childcare from my father and his wife.
My nephew quickly became like the much longed-for son they'd never had and before long my kids were pushed aside. When we visit them we stay at their house as we live so far away. I feel forced to visit them as no-one visits me. But ever since my nephew was born my children's needs are disregarded - even though my second child is only 6 months younger than him. I could list example after example of things that have happened but needless to say nephew's every need is met immediately by any of the 3 adults responsible for him, whereas my kids are scowled at for crying, shouting, walking heavily, laughing too loudly etc. I usually visit them without DP as he can't stand the stress of the visits - so I have to deal with my two young children alone. For example when the kids were still waking at night - the 3 of them would take it in turns to get up for nephew -whereas I'd be up several times a night to attend to both my kids.
Now the younger kids are 4 and my son is 7. On our most recent trip, the 3 kids argued and fought constantly because my nephew is spoilt and has had very little interaction with other kids. He doesn't want the others to play with his things, snatches, pushes and had huge tantrums. If he does manage to start playing with one child - he won't let the other child play. I have been exhausted, stressed and unhappy, constantly breaking up fights and pacifiying one child or the other, all the while trying to deal with my own resentful feelings at the unfair treatment of my kids and the clear favoritism. To make things even more complicated, I know my sister really wants to spend time with us, she feels her child really develops a lot when he's with mine and being on her own and working from home she needs the adult company from me too. One more detail, my brother's child (the second grandchild) gets on really well with my 2. The 3 of them have a ball together - the parents can kickback and let them play for hours on end.....Throw nephew into the equation and all hell breaks lose again.
So to sum up, I strongly resent my father's unfair treatment of the grandkids. Visits are exhausting and no fun for me. I resent that no-one visits me. My kids' behavior regresses when we're there. I resent my 4 year old nephew. I feel guilty about that. I feel guilty that my kids play well with my niece when he's not there. I feel guilty about my sister as she wants her son to have some happy family time with his cousins and for her to enjoy her time with me. I'm angry that my kids have not been able to have the relaxed, happy holiday that I'd hoped for. This most recent visit I almost cut short. I don't want to stop visiting altogether as I feel everyone would lose out. Any comments or advice welcome.

For You
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a nervous system disease that attacks nerve cells called neurons in your brain and spinal cord. These neurons transmit messages from your brain and spinal cord to your voluntary muscles - the ones you can control, like in your arms and legs. At first, this causes mild muscle problems. Some people notice
- Trouble walking or running
- Trouble writing
- Speech problems
Eventually, you lose your strength and cannot move. When muscles in your chest fail, you cannot breathe. A breathing machine can help, but most people with ALS die from respiratory failure.
The disease usually strikes between age 40 and 60. More men than women get it. No one knows what causes ALS. It can run in families, but usually it strikes at random. There is no cure. Medicines can relieve symptoms and, sometimes, prolong survival.

This land purchased by Apple effectively doubles their current ownership. "We now occupy 57 buildings in Cupertino and our campus is bursting at the seams," says Apple spokesman Steve Dowling. It also makes Apple the largest landowner in Cupertino, CA.
HP's former property sits across from another 50-acre parcel of land, that Apple has set aside for their second campus. Apple is rolling over the competition, posting record revenues and earnings, which are largely thanks to the iPhone and iPad.
We know we should be excited about a home-grown company showing such success, but it also comes at the expense of other U.S. businesses. Is Apple going to roll over every tech sector, as it did with the music industry? We're just waiting for Apple to change Cupertino's name to "Appleton".

I recall a friend having some old books that were published during the war years that carried a notice that they were printed in smaller type in an effort to conserve paper for the war.
1. The Song of Bernadette, Franz Werfel 99 copies on LT
2. The Moon Is Down, John Steinbeck 501 copies
3. Dragon Seed, Pearl S. Buck 123 copies
4. And Now Tomorrow, Rachel Field 1 copy
5. Drivin' Woman, Elizabeth Pickett 3 copies
6. Windswept, Mary Ellen Chase 8 copies
7. The Robe, Lloyd C. Douglas 455 copies
8. The Sun Is My Undoing, Marguerite Steen 12 copies
9. Kings Row, Henry Bellamann 37 copies
10. The Keys of the Kingdom, A. J. Cronin 105 copies
I remember reading The Robe in high school after I saw the movie which I think starred Victor Mature. I saw the movie version of the Song of Bernadette which I believe featured Vincent Price.
I have 1, 2, 7, and 9. I have read All This and Heaven, Too and Hitty, Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field, but not this one. I read Kings Row a long time ago: racist, misogynist, and just plain weird, as I recall. The movie is much better!
A lot of these are familiar, but the only one I've read is Song of Bernadette.
I've only read The Moon is Down, which I recommend.
1. See Here, Private Hargrove, Marion Hargrove 23 copies on LT
2. Mission to Moscow, Joseph E. Davies 17 copies
3. The Last Time I Saw Paris, Elliot Paul 27 copies
4. Cross Creek, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings 179 copies
5. Victory Through Air Power, Major Alexander P. de Seversky 21 copies
6. Past Imperfect, Ilka Chase 6 copies
7. They Were Expendable, W. L. White 41 copies
8. Flight to Arras, Antoine de St. Exupéry 146 copies
9. Washington Is Like That, W. M. Kiplinger 2 copies
10. Inside Latin America, John Gunther 20 copies
I enjoyed reading The Robe (my father's name was Lloyd C. Douglass so we had to have the novels around the house as conversation pieces:-), also read Keys of the Kingdom by Cronin. Still have copies of both books but I'm unlikely to reread them. They have a gentle prose and moral (actually, Christian) tone that, frankly, seems dated.
I think I HAVE the Moon is Down somewhere...I guess I'll have to dig it up and read it.
I own and have read both The Keys of the Kingdom and They Were Expendable. I also recently found a Norwegian language translation of The Moon is Down. Can't read it in Norwegian, but it's a beautiful copy of the book.
They Were Expendable is a harrowing account of the U.S. forces left behind to defend the Philippines from the impending Japanese invasion in the weeks right after Pearl Harbor. The book was made into a movie directed by John Ford, starring Robert Montgomery and John Wayne and released in 1945. The wikipedia entry for the movie says, "While both book and film depict actions which did not occur, they were believed to be real during the war and the film is noted for its verisimilitude."
There is a terrific review/essay on the book here: http://www.amazon.com/They-Were-Expendable-Bluejacket-Books/dp/1557509484. Scoll down to the review by Edison McIntyre.
This is the correct Touchstone for: And Now Tomorrow. There are now 10 of them in LT.
Tomorrow's House (the incorrect Touchstone)was a book written in 1945 for people dreaming of a post-war new home. I wonder if it predicted the growth of suburbs in the USA?
The moon is down
Finished reading: 6 April 2012
Readers and commentators make a lot noise about the didactic value of The moon is down, and apparently originally regretted that Steinbeck portrays the oppressors in the book as human rather than monstrous. It seems these commentators forget that literature often serves a didactic purpose, intentionally or unintentionally.
The moon is down tells the story how a village is conquered and occupied by a alien army force, which then puts the villagers to work to extract coal to support the needs of the occupying army. The story is wryly humourous. The oppressors are portrayed as civilised and orderly, but rigid and cruel when met with opposition. However, they are powerless against subtle resistance and refusal to be liked. As resentment among the oppressed rises, the populace is increasingly willing to run risks and extend its actions from passive resistance to active resistance, to repel the oppressor, and deal serious blow upon blow.
The didactic value of the novel lies in the fact that it shows how anyone can take part in passive resistance and which roads are open and possible to both passive and active resistance. Portraying the oppressor as human makes it possible to understand and see the possible weaknesses of that oppressor. An enemy who is perceived as superhuman, can not be understood, only feared. The novel convincingly shows which possibilities people have in a situation like that; to readers in Nazi occupied Europe, the parallels between their situation and the novel would be evident. As the overall tone of the novel is optimistic, it would be enjoyable to read, and instructive at the same time.
With hindsight, knowing or assuming the oppressor to be the Nazis, the novel is an interesting read that illustrates the situation of war-like occupation, as is known from many novels and history books, written after the war.
Other books I have read by John Steinbeck:
Burning bright
The acts of King Arthur and his noble knights
The wayward bus
The winter of our discontent

Tuna Carpaccio with Citrus-Ginger Dressing
Look for the freshest sushi-grade tuna available to make this raw dish.
- Servings: 4 FIRST-COURSE SERVINGS
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- One 8-ounce sushi-grade tuna fillet, cut 1/2 inch thick
- 4 large radishes, sliced paper thin
How to make this recipe
In a saucepan, combine the orange and lemon juices and boil over high heat until reduced to 1/3 cup, 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool. Stir in the vinegar, soy, jalapeño and ginger. Whisk in the olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderately high heat, shaking the pan until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Cut the tuna into 4 equal pieces. Place 1 piece of tuna between 2 sheets of plastic and pound to a 1/8-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic and invert the tuna onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining tuna.
Stir the dressing and spoon it over the tuna. Garnish with the radishes and sesame seeds and serve.

Manager Paul Sturrock felt Southend made life difficult for themselves despite securing their first victory this season against Wycombe. On-loan striker Britt Assombalonga netted his second goal in consecutive matches with a seventh-minute header after Matt Spring cleared Ryan Cresswell's header. Southend dominated the first half and created a number of chances, but the Essex side were unable to add to that early goal. Wycombe struggled to make an impact in the first half, but got going in the second and that made for a tense afternoon for Sturrock. "We made it difficult for ourselves and missed a couple of good chances to make it 2-0," said Sturrock. "John Spicer should have scored and when he didn't you start to worry," he added, referring to Spicer's shot early in the second half which was saved by Nikki Bull. "With the results we've had there's probably a bit of confidence lacking and that showed in the second half. The tempo wasn't right but I was very pleased with the fir...

I think the message "Link created on 35950 at 22.214.171.124,35951 at 188.8.131.52"

That does not work either. It asks for a password but at the end the
kernel is not running.

No, it is not starting.

Sure: running a "ssh lamo.here.com math" gives me a text-mode kernel,
as expected.
