Product Details
Style: 105391
Pro riders ride the Burton Cartel Re:Flex Snowboard Binding because of the enhanced board feel and consistent performance. Burton reduced the amount of material in the Re:Flex baseplate, so you don't get that big dead spot you get with other bindings. The flex is stiffer for more precise response, and FullBED Cushioning is there to reduce the vibration you feel when riding at higher speeds. The Living Hinge Hi-Back increases heel-side response, and lets you adjust the forward lean without tools. The Cartel Re:Flex has a Reactstrap which molds around your boot, eliminating pressure points.
- Flex: 7 (on 1 (soft) to 10 (stiff) scale)
- Mounting: Universally compatible
- Short-Glass/ Nylon Composite Re:Flex Baseplate enhances board feel and flex
- Canted Living Hinge Zero-Lean Hi-Back allows for neutral stance
- DialFLAD allows for tool-free forward-lean adjustment
- Reactstrap ankle strap is minimized and ultra-responsive
- Gettagrip Capstrap can be worn as either a toe strap or a capstrap
- Smooth Glide Buckles ratchet down and releases effortlessly
- AutoCant FullBED creates a more natural riding position
- B3 gel cushioning cuts vibration and softens hard landings

Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife
He would have written sonnets all his life?
"Where do you see yourself five years from now?"
the eldest male member (or is "male member"
a redundancy?) of the committee
asked me. "Not here," I thought. A good thing I
speak fluent Fog. I craved that job like some
unappeasable, taunting woman.
What did Byron's friend Hobhouse say after
the wedding? "I felt as if I had buried
a friend." Each day I had that job I felt
the slack leash at my throat and thought what was
its other trick. Better to scorn the job than ask
what I had ever seen in it or think
what pious muck I'd ladled over
the committee. If they believed me, they
deserved me. As luck would have it, the job
lasted me almost but not quite five years.

November is National Diabetes Month
Our partners are gearing up for National Diabetes Month. Here is some of what they have to offer:
November is National Diabetes Month and the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is Changing the Way Diabetes Is Treated by working to help people better understand how to make the necessary changes in their day-to-day life in order to prevent type 2 diabetes, manage their diabetes to prevent complications, and live healthier lives. Make a plan and find tools to reach your goals here.
This month, the American Diabetes Association will ask people to share a personal image, on the Association's Facebook page representing what "A Day in the Life of Diabetes" means to them. The image can be a picture of themselves or someone they care about, or otherwise represent how the disease impacts their lives. The image will then make up a larger mosaic image that will embody the message of "A Day in the Life of Diabetes." To encourage individuals to share photos of A Day in the Life of Diabetes on Facebook, CVS/pharmacy will donate $1 to the American Diabetes Association for every photo/image uploaded, up to $25,000. Find more information here.

AP attempts to create Clinton controversy; offers no evidence
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
From the Associated Press:
The first sign of cracks in President-elect Barack Obama's foreign policy team of rivals emerged on Monday as his choices for secretary of state and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations visited the State Department.
Wow, that sounds ominous. What is the AP talking about?
As Secretary of State-pick Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.N. envoy-choice Susan Rice separately visited the diplomatic agency's headquarters in Washington's Foggy Bottom neighborhood, persons familiar with the transition said that Rice wants to install her own transition team inside the department.
Such a move by an incoming U.N. ambassador is rare, if not unprecedented, because the job is based at the United Nations in New York, where Rice already has a small transition staff, the sources familiar with the incoming administration.
Well, that's pretty underwhelming. The AP can't even say that a transition team for Rice at State would be unprecedented. This is supposed to constitute "cracks" in Obama's "team"? Weak, weak stuff.
There must be more, right? No, not really:
Officials with Clinton's transition team declined to comment on the matter, and aides to Rice could not immediately be reached. State Department officials declined to comment on issues related to the transition.
It was not clear if Clinton and Rice _ who had strained relations during the Democratic primaries because of Rice's steadfast backing of Obama _ saw each other at the State Department as Clinton left the building shortly after Rice arrived.
So there's no indication Clinton and Rice saw each other. There's no indication that it would have been a problem if they did. Or if they didn't. Neither Clinton's team nor Rice's aides nor State department officials would comment. So, basically: still no "sign of cracks."
The AP continues:
During the presidential campaign, some Clinton aides saw Rice's early decision to back Obama as a betrayal because of her previous role as a high State Department official during President Bill Clinton's administration. Rice's desire to place her own team in Washington could fuel speculation that those tensions will carry into the new administration.
So, more than six months ago, some Clinton aides were upset about Rice's support of Obama. And the AP thinks that means there are now "signs of cracks" in Obama's team?
Note also that the AP says Rice's desire for a team in Washington "could fuel speculation" that those tensions would continue. That's circular nonsense at best. The entire AP article is nothing more than speculation those tensions would occur. But the article contains no evidence that anyone other than the AP is doing any such speculation.
AP, continuing directly:
The officials could not say if Clinton's team had formally objected to Rice's plan, or even if Rice would be able to install a separate transition team inside the State Department. But they noted that dueling transition teams could complicate the handover by blurring lines of authority.
Uh ... which "officials"? The only "officials" previously referred to are "Officials with Clinton's transition team," who declined to comment, and "State Department officials" - who also declined to comment.
In any case, whoever the AP means by "The officials," they don't give any indication that Clinton's team objects to Rice's plan. They merely "noted" that the teams "could" complicate things. That's a "sign of cracks"? "Officials" - of or with what or who, the AP does not even hint - note that the transition "could" be complicated?
There is, in short, absolutely nothing here.

I found this resort to be all I had hoped it would be and more. I do not understand how they make a profit for the little we paid considering it is an all inclusive.

Out of all of the trips I have been on this has by far been the best. The beach was great with beautiful white sands and clear blue water. The rooms were gorgeous! And the beds were very comfy. Every morning I would wake up at 6:30 and hit the beach. The pool was also a good place to get some rays.

My husband and I spent 4 days at the Fiesta Bavaro at Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) last February. We had a wonderful time.

We have just returned from a two week stay at the Fiesta Bavaro at Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and have had a fantastic holiday. The trip was package holiday we booked with Thompsons. Although we cannot fault the hotel and everything that goes with it, the flight with Britannia was awful. They really haven't researched "long haul" flights at all.

Discussing Giuliani's son, Limbaugh recalled media "zone of privacy" for Chelsea Clinton but ignored his own smear
Research ››› ››› ADAM SERWER
On the March 6 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh responded to a New York Times article that characterized Republican presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's relationship with his son, Andrew, as "strained and distant," by stating, "Remember the zone of privacy that the drive-bys all respected for Chelsea Clinton? 'Leave her out of this,' the Clintons said. And the drive-bys dutifully conformed to that demand or that request." However, Limbaugh did not mention his own comments regarding Chelsea Clinton during the program. As media watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting noted, in 1993, on his former television show, Limbaugh referred to Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 at the time, as "the White House dog."
From the March 6 broadcast of Premiere Radio Network's The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Remember John Kerry making comments about Vice President Cheney's daughter being a lesbian during a presidential debate with George W. Bush, and you may have forgotten Elizabeth Edwards chiming in on this. About how Mrs. Cheney acted ashamed and so forth. The left trying to make it look like the, we on the right are just nothing but a bunch of gay bashers, racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, and so forth, and yet it was shameless what Kerry and Edwards did during the 2004 presidential campaign regarding the privacy of the Cheney family.
Then again, we have, you know, the Andrew Cuomo -- or Andrew Giuliani story yesterday in The New York Times. Yeah, my dad's a dud, but I think he'd be a great president. Remember the zone of privacy that the drive-bys all respected for Chelsea Clinton? "Leave her out of this," the Clintons said. And the drive-bys dutifully conformed to that demand or that request.

you know i think God must really get a chuckle out of how stupid we are sometimes.
lets take a look at a guy named saul. now saul was a student of gamiliel (sp) and his main mission was persicution of the early christians. while on his way on the Damascus road he was blinded by a light and Christ spoke to him asking why he perseuted him. now sauls first words were " lord is it you?" for a guy who denied that Christ was the son of God the Lord must have had a really good chuckle when saul uttered these words.
a few days latter a prophet was sent to him to restore his sight both physically and spritually. his name was changed to paul and .....well....well......thats another story for another time. :mrgreen:
gotta go.....the cars are backing up the drive through window....lets see now... did he say he wanted fries with that?

I live in a very small flat. It's so frustrating – I adore design, but my home is also my office, so it has to be uncluttered. I would love to be able to display all my beautiful things, but there's no room. The answer is boxes, bags and suitcases full of our stuff. I am almost obsessive about putting things away.
I would never shop in Ikea. I just couldn't! I love vintage items – the quality, the design. It would be very hard for me to buy something there when I know I could find it in a flea market or on eBay if I just look. I'm a big fan of 50s/60s Tomado shelving units. They clip together, so you can fill a whole wall with them and they're different colours so they look really pretty.
Style is important to me. I tend not to wear anything too trendy, and I try not to dress to offend. I like a classic look that shows flair. I like people to notice that my shirt is different from every other shirt – that it has a certain je ne sais quoi. This is a Hawaiian skirt from the 50s, which I've paired with a Valentino Couture silk shirt and a 70s Lanvin silk headscarf. I sell beautiful vintage pieces like this on eBay, but my dream is to have a shop in Chelsea or Knightsbridge. Somewhere – I don't want to say expensive – but a place where people understand what I'm selling.

On Thursday, members of the New York Red Bulls got a chance play a six-on-six game on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid against the crew of the USS Roosevelt, stationed in town for New York Fleet Week 2009. Originally built to serve during WWII, the Navy decommissioned the Intrepid in 1974. It is now the foundation of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City.
"I'm sure
that, especially for the Americans on our team, this is a fantastic opportunity to feel very proud to see the magnitude of this ship, and the history behind it," Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio said. "And for all of us foreigners, it's a chance to know more about the history of this wonderful country. It's also an opportunity for all the
guys to enjoy themselves here in a different environment, rather than training."
The Navy team, led by Petty Officer Migual Tater, was not
intimidated by its major-league opponents. The teams didn't keep score, but in one scrimmage the Navy team registered the first goal. They have plenty of experience playing on the pock-marked and
rutted flight-deck surface of their own ship. "When the ship is in port, we play quite often -- as much as we can -- especially when we're not getting ready for an inspection," said Tater, who has
been playing since he was a child growing up in Jamaica. "If we're out to sea, sometimes we'll have some free time on the flight deck and just kick around a bit. It's a lot of fun."

Increase in abandoned boats
With the weather warming the Marion County Sheriff's Office is seeing an increase in the use of our waterways. With the increase in usage come some obvious safety concerns for our boaters and swimmers.
One disturbing trend is an increase in abandoned boats being set adrift in our rivers. These boats cause an immediate hazard to swimmers and boaters but they also draw an emergency response from law enforcement and fire officials.
According to Marine Patrol sergeant Shane Burnham, "We have to treat these incidents like an emergency; it could be a boater in distress."
Because of the drain these incidents place on resources and the cost to tax payers, the Sheriff's Office would like to take the time and remind the public to discard their old boats appropriately. Sergeant Burnham suggests calling your local auto recycler for assistance. If you are caught setting a boat adrift with the intent to abandon it on the waterway, you could be charged with a crime.

People, I'm TIRED.
I've had a cold for the last week, and it is one of those that is bad in the morning and evening/night so I haven't been sleeping well and it has finally caught up with me. Sleep, please?
Today Adlee turns one! This past year FLEW by. Here's our huge (ha ha) 5#7oz baby with her big sister.
I'm sure I'll post a few pictures next week of her wearing her "one" shirt I tried to make for her. Its…um….well lets just say it was my first try.
In the food category:
I like carrot cake and zucchini bread, so I'm assuming I'd like these Carrot and Zucchini Bars with Lemon and Cream Cheese Frosting.

But just so we're not too healthy, I kind of want to try this:
Source: cookiesandcups.com via Katie on Pinterest
On a side note, that "embed" feature on Pinterest is AMAZING…I can just copy the html and it puts the image with a link to the original source on my post! HEY-O!!
You should head over to Cookies and Cups and read the post that this pie recipe is on – there is a funny tooth fairy story on it.
My brain hurts right now.
Speaking of hurting heads. I love the part in You've Got Mail where Kathleen Kelly says, "My head is feeling fuzzy….." which is how I feel. It comes right after this scene…which I can't embed. Sad. But you should watch it anyway because it is only a minute and a half.
So, I think that's really I've got. I hope you guys have a fantastic weekend. I don't really know what is on tap for me…maybe watching You've Got Mail? Sounds lovely to me!

Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie has been glowing since the birth of her new daughter Harlow Winter. Nicole and Joel Madden are learning to split their time between performances and parenting duties. Nicole Richie has grown up since giving birth to Harlow and spent less time with Paris
Back home after a short trip to New York City for MTV TRL's "Total Finale Live" last night, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie were spotted enjoying a little quality time together on Monday (November 17).
The cute couple walked hand-in-hand as they bought up some baby clothes for daughter Harlow at the Little Seed, along with stopping for lunch at Baja Fresh.
They're always up for high-profile Hollywood fun, and last night Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted at the 18th Annual Environmental Media Awards.
The "Simple Life" cutie and her Good Charlotte frontman boyfriend arrived at the Ebell Theatre to a throng of paparazzi, with Nicole looking elegant in a grey and black dress with strappy black heels.
Taking a break from their daughter Harlow Winter, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted having a marvelous time at the opening of the Alberta Ferretti Flagship store on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood last night.
The "Simple Life" babe and her "I Don't Wanna Be in Love" rocker babydaddy happily posed for the paparazzi, with Richie looking ravishing in a floor-length sleeveless silver dress while Joel rocked a white v-neck shirt underneath a black blazer.
Accompanied by her typical handler, Nicole Richie was spotted leaving traffic school in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday afternoon (November 12).
The former "Simple Life" starlet did her best to stay shielded by her bodyguard/driver, making her way to the car following her day's court-ordered driving lessons.
With the holiday shopping season just around the corner, some of our favorite celebrities were getting a jump start on the action at H&M's The Season's Most Fashionable Gifts event last night (November 11).
Nicole Richie (in a black and grey form-fitting dress with black leggings and black heels) and Nicky Hilton (in a sexy strapless black leather mini with funky black heels) were two of the high-profile dames looking for deals at the Sunset Boulevard H&M store in West Hollywood. And they were in good company.
Usually when any one of these ladies shows up at an event it's a big deal. But at last night's Dsquared2 and W Event, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Sophia Bush all lit up the Chateau Marmont Penthouse 64.
"Labor Pains" actress Lindsay Lohan looked to be having a marvelous time as she sat and chatted with party guests while smoking like a chimney.
As the Halloween holiday draws closer and closer, our favorite celebrities are getting into the spirit of the season. And yesterday Nicole Richie was spotted taking daughter Harlow Winter out for some pumpkin fun.
The "Simple Life" hottie and her adorable little girl were spotted playing around at the Pumpkin Patch while dad Joel Madden was reportedly doing his best to pick out some holiday gourds for their home.
Taking advantage of a day away from her busy schedule, Nicole Richie was spotted shopping at the Century City Mall yesterday (October 26).
The "Simple Life" starlet seemed annoyed with the paparazzi to the point that she asked some security guards to remove the shutterbugs from the area. She looked cute and casual in a black top with a white shirt overtop, dark wash jeans, and sandals.
Enjoying an event-filled weekend, Nicole Richie attended the 30th Anniversary Carousel Of Hope Ball benefiting The Barbara Davis Center For Childhood Diabetes in Beverly Hills on Saturday night (October 25).
Held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, the former "Simple Life" starlet happily showed off her sexy post-baby curves on the red carpet before heading inside and joining babydaddy Joel Madden at a table for the evening's events.
Following an active afternoon in Beverly Hills, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted having a blast at the 2008 Breeders' Cup Winners Circle Gala, held at the Hollywood Palladium.
The "Simple Life" cutie looked oh-so-hot in a green minidress with a black and white sash teamed with a pair of strappy black heels.

Congressman Endorses Indoctrination and Population Control
BY Matthew Archbold
| Posted 9/22/10 at 11:56 PM
If I were to say to you that the government was indoctrinating our children in population control many would probably say Matt's been taking his conspiracy theory pills again. But what would you say if a Democratic congressman actually said that he'd like to see children indoctrinated in population control.
CNS reports:
Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com at a "Sustainability Education Summit" hosted by the U.S. Education Department on Tuesday that environmental education in schools can "promote the agenda" of climate change and population growth through the influence it has on children.
"Like I keep saying over and over again, if you get young people invested in those ideas early on, that will result in those kinds of positive policy developments," Sarbanes told CNSNews.com. "So, whether it's climate change, whether it's population growth, whether it's all these factors that impact the health of our world, raising that awareness early among young people is only going to promote the agenda."
And he's not the only one advocating a return to the good ol' days when procreation was a top down decision and not left up entirely to the little people who were liable to pop out two, three, four, five or six kids or more. (Gasp!) They can't just let the world go all Duggar on them, right?
Obama's Science Czar John Holdren, along with Paul Ehrlich, wrote that "a program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier than trying to sterilize men. This of course would be feasible only in countries where the majority of births are medically assisted. Unfortunately such a program therefore is not practical for most less developed countries…The development of a long term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable with official permission for a limited number of births."
So it should come as no surprise that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) receives funding from the United States even though it's been shown to be complicit in China's coercive birth control policies. Yup. That means you're paying for coerced abortions in China.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said:
Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.

Nancy Pelosi said that cutting the number of children would prove to be an economic boon:
"Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government."
According to this logic, children cease to be gifts from God but economic burdens.
Hey, at least she didn't call babies a punishment, right?
They're telling us what they're thinking, what they're doing. We can pay attention or ignore it.

Latest report on ASARCO site details higher-than-normal levels of mercury, arsenic and lead
EL PASO, Texas - Higher-than-normal levels of mercury, arsenic and lead have been found in a recent investigation released by the Texas Custodial Trust about the old ASARCO site.
Property where the lead and copper smelter once stood were tested for contaminants.
The 79-page Supplemental Remedial Investigation released in November details soil screenings that were completed in 10 areas from 2011 to 2012. One of the areas was close to the Calavera neighborhood near Paisano and Executive Center.
James Johnson has lived on San Marcos street in the Calavera neighborhood nearly his entire life.
"When I was young growing up and we went to school across from the shelter we used to taste the sulphur but that was a lot of years ago," Johnson said.
Calavera borders ASARCO property, where a lead and copper smelter once operated for many years.
"If there's poison or no poison I mean let it be ... I'm still here," resident Tammy Galban said. "This place has been very peaceful, very sacred to all of us."
The findings have neighbors in the normally quiet neighborhood talking. Johnson says it's not the first time the concern for dangerous toxins has been studied ... but he wants to know more.
"The findings is one thing. As to results as to what can happen long term that's another thing," Johnson said.
The investigation revealed surface soils up to six inches were affected.
"They're talking about remediation. I think that's going to have something to do with removing the soil and bringing in new soil," Johnson said but he added that the Environmental Protection Agency has replaced soil before so he doesn't understand what else can be done.

Lightest hold gels, creams or mousse?
I like a light hold especially in the winter. Which products give the lightest hold? No crunch.
Any brand that is curly girl!!
Citre Shine Curl Booster :D
There are several reviews of it on the product page. I love it! You can't even tell I have product in my hair.
Thanks! Is the brand Citre?
I get really soft curls from Angell, Aussie Tizz no Frizz and medium hold but still soft curls from Herbal essence totally twisted.
Citre Shine is the brand, and they carry it at CVS, Walgreens, etc. :-)
I tried the gel this summer, and I really liked it. It seemed to hold my curls just enough, but didn't weigh them down.
Hope you like it!
I use Biolage Defining Elixir. It's pretty light hold and the one gel I keep repurchasing.
I really like Activate soft curls cream, very light hold, natural looking curls, not at all crunchy.
Medusahair, is Aussie tizz no frizz available at most drugstores? I love soft curls! Oh, and it is curly Girl?
Thanks :D
I wish I could find Activate stuff :( No luck so far

dog behaviour order: an official document issued by a British court instructing the owner of a dangerous dog to control the dog's behaviour
'Ministers are also considering introducing new dog control notices for misbehaving animals. The 'Dogbo' orders would allow police officers and council officials to force miscreant owners to muzzle, leash or even neuter their pets.'The Irish Times 9th March 2010
Tragic cases of dangerous dogs seriously injuring young children, sometimes fatally, have been an increasingly frequent feature of news reports in recent years. In an effort to prevent such tragedies and clamp down on gratuitous ownership of vicious dogs, the UK government have recently introduced the Dogbo.
the Dogbo targets particular breeds of dogs such as the Bull Mastiff and Rottweiler, which in the wrong hands can be trained to be extremely aggressive
Part of changes to the UK government's Dangerous Dogs Act, a Dogbo is an official order also referred to as a 'Dog Control Notice' and would allow police and local officials to insist that owners muzzle or leash their dog if it is considered to be particularly dangerous. In extreme cases, a dog could be confiscated and given a new home. The Dogbo is therefore the canine equivalent of an Asbo, or anti-social behaviour order, a civil order introduced in 1998 aimed at people who cause disturbance to others through violence, drunkenness, vandalism, etc. The Dogbo targets particular breeds of dogs such as the Bull Mastiff and Rottweiler, which in the wrong hands can be trained to be extremely aggressive, but are often used as forms of protection in areas where crime is a problem.
Dogbo is a new blend formed from a combination of dog and Asbo. Though the concept it represents has very unpleasant overtones, linguistically it is quite interesting: it is an unusual example of blending a full noun with an acronym. This seems to work because the part of the acronym contained in the blend is meaningful in itself, i.e. -bo = behaviour order. Interestingly, Dogbo often appears in fully capitalized form, i.e.: DOGBO, even though the letters 'D', 'O' and 'G' shouldn't be interpreted as standing for anything. This has of course happened because of its necessary association with Asbo, which started life as a fully capitalized acronym ASBO.
Dogbo is an interesting development in the productive life of the acronym Asbo, which has two earlier spin-offs. Amid growing concern about pre-teenage crime and anti-social behaviour, in October 2005 the UK government revealed plans to introduce the Basbo (baby Asbo), a lighter punishment than a full Asbo aimed at children under 10. More recently, the term CRASBO emerged (criminal anti-social behaviour order), which refers to an Asbo given to an individual already convicted of criminal behaviour. Linguistically speaking however, Dogbo differs from these two expressions because it does not subsume the original acronym Asbo, only part of it. It's almost, therefore, as if the form -bo has begun to take on some kind of productive meaning connected with official rulings on unpleasant behaviour, and it'll be interesting to see if other kinds of ***bo emerge in the future.

/// Former Nokia Workers Aim to Make Android Seaworthy With Rugged New Phone
May 15, 2013 | All Things Digital
After seeing his third smartphone die during a three-month sailing trip in 2010, Heikki Sarajarvi decided there had to be a better approach. "I was so fed up," Sarajarvi said. "I can't be the only one who is destroying these smartphones doing completely normal things." He talked to other sailers and found that others were having similar issues. It wasn't even about getting the phone wet, he said. Salty sea spray alone was ruining the phones. So the ship builder and onetime Nokia consultant connected with some other workers at the Finnish cell phone company and set up his own company, Adaia.

Ringleader in Dutch art theft claims he had inside help
By Ioana Patran
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - The confessed ringleader in the theft of seven paintings, including a Picasso and a Monet, from a Dutch museum says he had inside help, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Radu Dogaru and two other Romanians have so far pleaded guilty in a Bucharest court to stealing artworks worth tens of millions of euros from Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum in October 2012 - one of the art world's biggest heists in recent years.
Two other defendants were expected to testify later while a sixth remains at large and is being tried in absentia.
On Tuesday, defense lawyer Catalin Dancu told reporters during a break in proceedings his client said he had inside help in the heist.
"That person helped them so that the one open door was the way in to the museum," he said.
Dogaru refused to reveal the alleged accomplice's identity.
"Radu Dogaru has said 'my life and my safety are more important than revealing the person's name'," Dancu said.
A spokeswoman for the museum, Sabine Parmentier, declined to comment on the issue when contacted by Reuters. Continued...

I keep hearing about a problem on social media, so I sat down to write this post to help both those suffering from repeated requests for "favors", and those who make them.

Please do take this unsolicited advice in the spirit of future success and friendships, both online and offline.

Manufacturer: Down Under Saddle (View all products by Down Under Saddle Supply)
Model: Kimberley Superior Poley w/o horn (View all Kimberley Superior Poley w/o horn reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought directly from DownUnder. Sent wither tracings and length of back. Paid $600 for saddle & shipping.
Likes: Saddle fits me and my horse very well. The sales clerk told me what to do for the first 4-5 rides to break it in. It is very comfortable and secure. Not my first aussie but the best I have rode in.
Dislikes: The fenders left scuff marks on the flaps first ride. No big deal but still marked up. A lot of brass that will turn green.
Quality: The leather is soft and great ride first time. Very deep seat and seemed to fit horse well. Had hard to fit horse and this saddle done the trick.
Summary: I really like my saddle and would buy another if needed. I liked the service from the company. I have recommended to others. I bought with confidence that any issues they would take care of.

Kick your summer into high gear by watching the 6 Horas Peruanas race
By Nancy Guima
You won't want to miss one of the most emblematic motorsport events in Peru.
The summer racing season in Lima is about to switch into high gear with the "6 Horas Peruanas" (6 Peruvian hours) competition, the second most representative race competition in our country, preceded only by the Caminos del Inca race.
According to Peru.com, it was held for the first time on May 24, 1964 in a street racetrack in Campo de Marte in Jesús María and pilots Kike Pérez and Percy Fox, who drove a Volvo P-1800, took home the trophy. Next year, at the same street track, pilots Eduardo Dibos and Emilio Fort, driving a Ferrari 3000, were awarded the big prize. Over the years, this traditional race competition has been held in many different places, like the Collique Airfield, Las Palmas Air Force Base, Canto Grande Circuit, Santa Rosa Racetrack and, since 2010, in La Chutana racetrack in Chilca, according to La República.
6 Peruvian Hours is famous because, as its name shows, it lasts 6 long hours. So that means that it would be impossible for one single pilot to drive by him or herself in this competition. That's why competitors gather in teams of two, three or even four pilots and drive in intervals, to avoid physical and mental stress and exhaustion. Another tricky aspect of this race is that pilots must take care of their fuel, tires and breaks, as well as avoiding collisions. According to Salvador Ricci in an interview with La República, "pilots must avoid collisions, as they could be a reason to leave the competition."
This year's edition, which begins Feb. 9, will be unique because, unlike previous years, the race will take place during both the day and night, starting at 4 p.m. and finishing at 10 p.m. Another plus will be that SuperBike, drifting and Dakar pilot's exhibit starting at 2 p.m. So, buy your ticket and enjoy all the expertise of the best 120 Peruvian pilots in motorsports such as circuit, drifting, drag racing, autocross and rally, driving the fastest cars you can imagine.
In past years, we have seen many TV stars like Mario Hart, Marcos Llunas, Federico Salazar, Roberto Martínez, Fernando Roca Rey and Joanna Boloña successfully participating. And, this year won't be the exception.
A quick tip: buy tickets for the Grill Zone (Parrillas) for 30 soles and you can actually bring your grill and charcoal as well as all the meat, sausages and hot dogs you can eat in six hours.

Martin Kaymer's one-shot victory at the Players Championship will be remembered most for his extraordinary par three on the island green at the infamous 17th hole.
Kaymer held a one-stroke lead at the TPC Sawgrass when his tee shot narrowly cleared the water, bounced off a mound and span sideways hard until settling just a couple of feet short of the water on the fringe of the green.
From there, the German hit a poor chip and was left with a 28-foot putt which had to negotiate a ridge with a sharp left-to-right break.
Somehow he managed to coax the ball into the cup in fading light before going on to par the final hole and clinch victory by one shot over American Jim Furyk in the $10million event, dubbed the fifth Major.
"What a putt that was," said Kaymer (left), who closed with a one-under-par 71 for a 13-under total of 275. "It was very, very tough to read because it was already very dark but I don't care, it went in.
"It was downhill, down-grain but at the end of the day, you just trust your instinct. It feels like a Major win."

Proposed climate bill a breath of fresh air
There are 91 comments on the Chicago Tribune story from Jun 26, 2009, titled Proposed climate bill a breath of fresh air. In it, Chicago Tribune reports that:The climate bill, with its cap-and-trade component, that is to go to the House floor for a vote Friday is that rare piece of legislation that has both environmentalists and heavy industry saying they can live with the result.

They are desperate to get their killing done before people realize what's happening!
No patriotic and informed American can support the ACES Act (global warming/cap and trade scam), a huge Ponzy scheme that will kill the U.S. economy.
Cap and Trade "would be the equivalent of an atomic bomb directed at the U.S. economy—all without any scientific justification," says famed climatologist Dr. S. Fred Singer. It would significantly increase taxes and the cost of energy, forcing many companies to close, thus increasing unemployment, poverty and dependence.
Cap and trade represents huge taxes and cost increases, which will hurt mostly the poor and the middle class while further empowering and enriching Obama and his fraudulent billionaire friends (Gore, Soros, Goldman Sachs, Obama's Chicago Climate Exchange friends, GE, the United Nations, etc.)-- all at our expense and at the expense of our children and grandchildren.
More and more scientists and thinking people all over the world are realizing that man-made global warming is a hoax that threatens our future and the future of our children. More than 700 international scientists dissent over man-made global warming claims. They are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechangefraud.com/content/vie...
Additionally, more than 30,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." http://www.petitionproject.org
Those brainwashed to the point of wanting to destroy the economy to "prevent global warming" are behaving like the most primitive human beings who were duped into believing that human sacrifices would ensure them good weather. Human beings don't have the power to control climate! And killing the economy will not help the environment. Poor countries can't protect the environment. Just look at Haiti!
Please do what you can to defend your family and your country. Write to your representatives and ask them to defend us from Obama's criminal scheme -- https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.s...

Industry may be able to live with the results but consumers can't - here's to hoping this poorly thought out piece of legislation that none of them have even read in its entirety FAILS.
The burden, as always, falls to the CONSUMER.
#4 Jun 26, 2009
Hurry hurry we have to pass it now. Don't read it, don't question it, don't let logic get in the way.
Spend, spend, spend its the only way to get out of debt.
#5 Jun 26, 2009
Since human-caused global warming is clearly a fake science and word is spreading (media can't keep this down for much longer), it is just a matter of (little) time before EVERYONE in the nation is laughing thier behinds off at Gore/Obama's global warming fairy tail. Unfortunately, severly harming the economy with this bill, which does nothing to the climate one way or another, will not be as funny.
#7 Jun 26, 2009
Industry doesn't care because they will do one of two things. Cease operations and move to China or pass the increased costs to the consumer.
So if this bill does become law, don't whine about those greedy electrical companies, whine about those greedy Washington D.C. Democrat elitists.
#8 Jun 26, 2009
Big Industry loves this cap and trade because they will be given their permit to emit carbon when any new comers and start ups that want to compete will have to buy theirs. This is protectionism for existing businesses.
If you truly love the environment, you are doing a great disservice to it by supporting cap and trade. Any new ideas that will reduce emissions would have come from the start-ups. That's all over now.
Besides, global warming is a scam. Thanks for dumping on the common man with your mass-hysteria.
100 years from now, the people looking back on us will think we are hysterical idiots. First the Red-Scare with McCarthism, Then Global cooling in 1979, then global warming now. How many pandemic freak-outs do we need before we realize we should lead our selves as individuals because as a nation or as a race, we (and the leaders we elect) are f'n idiots.
For as far as we have come as a race, we are still running from our shadows like we did when we were in the caves.

I can not afford $175 more a year for energy like the CBO says it will cost me. I want my $.50 day now, so that I can up-size my coffee everyday.
Why should I care about my grandchildren's future? I will be far dead by the time that they all start to get cancer from the pollution that I was too cheap to fix.
It is always better to save money in the short run and spend way more on health bills and energy in the future. Who ever said it was responsible to think about your future when you spend money. Real Americans spend more money then they have and let the chips fall where ever they land.
Only liberals would think that spending money so that you can save money in the future, and protect your grandchildren, is a good idea. I don't need an education to know having $175 now is worth more then saving $300 in a few years.
#10 Jun 26, 2009
Yeah! Everyone knows that Global warming doesn't exist...
I mean look at this proof:
When I turn on my stove, and cook my food, the temperature in my house doesn't change! All that extra heat that I produce just disappears when I turn the stove off.
Just because 97% of smart, college-educated, scientists and the people from nasa says global warming is real, doesn't mean it is. They also said that the world is round and that the earth rotates around the sun.
Everyone knows that the earth is more of a square shape, and the sun is just God smiling and watching us all day.
#11 Jun 26, 2009
Of course they will just all move to china.
It is much smarter to spend 30% more money shipping their products across the world then it is to spend 15% more money on energy costs.
United States
#12 Jun 26, 2009
Can someone provide a list of the Representatives that just voted in support of this steaming pile? We need to make it easier for the voters to run this morons out of office in 2010.
#13 Jun 26, 2009
Yeah! Just because we have been talking about this bill for two months doesn't mean any of the senators were supposed to pay attention!
Just close your eyes for two months, ignore your job to pay attention to the process of this bill being created, and vote on it!
#14 Jun 26, 2009
Cap and trade is a DISASTER!
Unless you just love new, higher taxes, tell your Congressman and Senator NO to Cap and Trade!
#15 Jun 26, 2009
You must be out of your flippin' mind...this thing increases energy costs, will cost jobs, and is TERRIBLE legislation. There is growing public anger over the ill advised policies being pushed out of Pelosi, Reid, Durbin et al. How Mark Kirk could be on the fence about this issue is unbelievable. When are voters going to wake up and vote these people out of office? There is no scientific proof that there is a man made global warming problem. I would suggest reading today's Wall Street Journal for discussion of how Europe and Australia are reacting to their own silly legislation. Unfortunately it appears that more jobs will need to be lost to India and China and energy prices increase further before people wake up.
Since: Jun 09
#16 Jun 26, 2009
Ya know, come to think of it, how are carbon credit, cap and trade schemes any different from the "Indulgences" sold by the Catholic church in the middle ages?
Sin is bad, but if you pay us a small fee, you can buy your way out of the sin's ramifications on your immortal soul.
Carbon is bad, but if you give us government types a little more money and power, then it's ok to pollute.
#17 Jun 26, 2009
Contact your Representatives and Senators. Voice your position in no uncertain terms.
Regardless of the House vote, today? insure they understand your position.
I defy any person to associate a legitimate Constitutional authority for the imposition of this draconian money/ power grab.
#18 Jun 26, 2009
Of cources global warming is a scam!
That is because chemisty, physics, and biology are also scams!
We all know that computers work because God tells them too. There is no such think as "electricity". Tthat is just something that was made up so that corporations can profit off of Gods power to turn on your appliances.
If Global warming is a scam, electricity has to be also, because they are both based off of the same principles of energy consumption.
Everyone knows that energy just dissipates when you are done with it, there is not such thing as heat, and Einstein was just some Jew who tricked everyone into believing his cult.
#19 Jun 26, 2009
If you take power from the gas company, and turn on your stove to heat your food, does your house warm up?
So if you take power from the ground and burn it to create electricity, why wouldn't the earth warm up?
Please explain how these two situations are different.
#21 Jun 26, 2009
Notice how the term "Global Warming" has now mutated into "Climate Change"?
Too many global warming protesters standing in a blizzard changed all that.
The original '70s climate protesters swore that a new ICE AGE would soon be upon us.
#22 Jun 26, 2009
Why should we pay money so that our children's future is better?
I hate my kids, and I hope my pollution gives them cancer!
I totally agree with you people who think this is going to cost too much money! My kid's lives aren't worth a dime, and i care even less about your kids, and whiny minority kids.
In fact, lets pollute more so that we can just kill of all humans all together! Bring on the apocalypse!
#23 Jun 26, 2009
There is no scientific proof that there is global warming!
Just because 97% of all scientist say it exists and that they scientifically can prove it doesn't mean we should listen!
It is easy to prove something isn't real if you just close your eyes tight enough and ignore the facts like me!

Superstar Mahesh Babu-starrer Telugu action-thriller "1: Nenokkadine", which released Friday minted only Rs.8.4 crore on its opening day in Andhra Pradesh, failing to register a record opening.
It was reportedly made on a budget of Rs.70 crore and released in 1,400 screens across the state.
"Everybody was under the assumption that the film will easily break the record opening set of 'Attarintiki Daaredhi'. But it managed to collect only Rs.8.4 crore on the first day in the state. The film has opened to mixed reviews and that's not a good sign," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
Directed by Sukumar, "1: Nenokkadine" is a psychological thriller about the hero's mission to avenge the death of his parents.
The film's long running time was one of the biggest drawbacks, said Trinath.
"It's a three-hour long film and to expect audience to sit through it is impossible nowadays. The attention span of audience is about two and a half hours. Moreover, the genre of the film and its presentation was also not received so well," he added.
The film also features debutant Kriti Shanon, Nassar, Anu Haasan, Sayaji Shinde, Pradeep Rawat and Posani Krishna Murali.

Safe Zone
Safe Zone is an in-depth, 2 to 2 1/2 hour long training in which faculty and staff are educated on matters related to the LGBTQ community, as well as given the option to register as a trained ISU Safe Zone member.
Safe Zone members are individuals comfortable and capable of assisting students in finding LGBTQ resources here on campus, as well as providing a safe person and space for the student to discuss issues related to the LGBTQ presence here. This could include such matters as coming out, finding allies, and helping make campus a more comfortable and inviting place.
Not everyone can or wants to be a Safe Zone member, something we understand. Nor do we want people to take the mantle of Safe Zone lightly. Only those willing to commit to an open and affirming connection with students on LGBTQ issues should register as a Safe Zone member. We believe that additional education on LGBTQ community issues can benefit everyone, so if you would prefer an introductory education session please consider attending an LGBTQ 101 session. Click here for more information on these sessions.
Safe Zone trainings are generally scheduled monthly throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Additional trainings may be available upon request. Safe Zone trainings are held in Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and Meridian.

Arts Thread: Designers Gather To Explore Change Through Technology
Thinkers and creators will join to learn and redefine the methods used to design powerful everyday objects.
Some of the industry's leading designers, social scientists, engineers and curators will join together to offer the general public an insight into their professions at Interweave, a free event taking place at the V&A's Sackler Centre this Thursday.
Organised by Jo Morrison, Digital Projects Director at Central Saint Martins and Leanne Manfredi from the Sackler Centre, the one day program will feature presentations, hands-on making sessions and an engaging 'walkshop' through the museum's exciting collection.
Participants of the event will have the opportunity to learn how research methods for social science are used when designing materials and products and how new technologies and man-made tools have drastically re-shaped communities.
Jo explains: "While these themes may appear extremely specialised, my hope is that by presenting them in an informal and friendly way, people will be equally fascinated and challenged by the work. The day is aimed at all interested people, and I see the ideas and energy of the Interweave audience as being key to the success of the event – whether they wish to actively participate or have a more contemplative experience."
Talks scheduled for the event include: How Living Technology Will Radically Change the Way We Design Our Everyday; The V&A's Collection through Technological Change; and Convergence of the Real and Virtual in the City.
All events are free but booking is required. Visit the V&A bookings and information service or call 020 7942 2211.
Interweave runs on the 3rd November from 10.30am-5pm at The Sackler Centre, Victoria & Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL.
