I don't mind full size, but don't like anything smaller than a 4'' barrel. This is going to be a part time carry with my G23 and my snubbie. If you only had $900 what 1911 would you buy for carry?

I love my Springer Loaded... it's quite a bit of bang for the buck. Plus you'll have enough left over for a decent holster and some extra mags/gear.
On top of that Springfield's customer service is top notch. They'll take care of you for life.

Springfield Armory 5" Mil Spec or Loaded, Kimber ProCarry II or Kimber Compact II.
STI Spartan or Springfield of some sort
Yeah I like Glocks, wanna fight about it!
Dan Wesson CBOB, the bobtail really is a nice option, and you get it right out of the box with no waiting on smith work.
Springfield Loaded Champ 4", you can't go wrong with a good Springer, and some like the 4" better for carry.
Springfield Loaded 5", yeah it's a little bit longer, but the 5" 1911 is still my most preferred carry gun, if I had $900 it would really be a toss up on the Dan Wesson CBOB, or trying to find a used Springfield TRP.
I would buy a Springfield mil-spec and send it off to a smith for new sights, trigger work, a beaver-tail grip safety, and a reliability package. That way later on, if you want, you can add whatever bells and whistles (front-strap texturing, high cut grip, and so on) that you may want.

Jeff Cooper: It is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure - and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more than he can enjoy."
Springfield Loaded for me , With a forged frame and slide to start with. This is just about as close to a custom gun as you can get with out actually getting one. It has many of the parts (beavertail, ambi safety, Ect) you may wish to add later already installed. The gun has been a base platform of preformance 45s for many years. Like all 1911 based guns, parts for this platform are cheap and avalible. No gun owner should be without at least one.
+2 on the DW CBOB - its my EDC and you cant beat it....IMHO its the most 1911 for the dollar
You could always get the one with the rampant horse on the slide... ie. Colt Lightweight Commander. Those CBOB's are nice, but heavy as a block of lead.
Use the extra $100 for a carry bevel job.

While I like the 1911 platform and own a couple I'm afraid I'd spend my money on an HK in .45ACP. Either a USP Compact, or the new HK45. Similar to the 1911 in function, but you can carry as DA/SA, or cocked and locked and it's a lighter weapon. Another plus is that they tend to perform very well right out of the box. JMHO
Join the NRA.
I like my SA Champ loaded . I find the 4" size easy for CCW. A Kimber would be just as good IMO , or as JD said a used Dan Wesson.

In my opinion, these are not breadboard friendly. Every time I try to switch it, it pops out of the breadboard. Having two rows of pins would make this friendlier, like the ones I got with a seeedstudio starter kit. Sadly these are not as good, and sparkfun doesn't seem to carry two-pin-row versions.
You've broken out PS and apparently pulled it high. That means "disabled" for PS, according to the 61200 docs, but contradicting what you've written in the tutorial (which is saying that both EN and PS are enabled by default). You also don't discuss what we might want to do with PS in your tutorial. Since you've bothered to break it out, you must think that some people would be interested in using it… any advice on why/how? Are most people safe not using it at all?
No public wish lists :(

We're all in favor of reducing violent crime. It's just that pro-gunners have a method that is proven effective. Anti-gunners don't.
John Moses Browning day is January 24th, 2011
[During today's sentencing hearing, Judge Rozak said Clements (age 69) had no prior run-ins with the law and said the case was not about his lawn, but "about your reaction ... to being yelled at, pushed and punched in the face by a 23-year-old man," the Tribune reported.]
Then why was there ANY sentence, suspended or otherwise? When a 23-y-o man goes to fists against a 69-y-o, there is legitimate cause to fear for one's life.
[Pam Marrs, who manages the Sconecutter restaurant in Kearns where Poulton worked, says he was well-liked. "It's unbelievable to me to even think he would break into a home," she said.]
Teenagers do stupid things. Most of the time it doesn't get them killed, but sometimes it does. I think parents fail to impress upon their kids the importance of looking at a situation from more than one perspective.
Dad: "Okay son, say you're in bed at home with your own wife and you hear someone trying to break in. What would you do?"
Son: "Jeez dad, I'd shoot his ass."
Dad: "Exactly. And that's why YOU don't break into people's homes."
Son: "Huh... I never thought of it like that."
Dad: "That's because you're an idiot, and it's my job to fix that."
Son: "I love you, dad."
Dad: "I love you, too, son."
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
I was just watching the report on this on Fox News. . . I got so mad after hearing them talk about how 'despicable' it was that he 'killed the young man for nothing more than a punch" that I had to email them. Was I wrong?Haven't there been legal precedence set for using lethal force in defending against a younger unarmed attacker?
Disregard the dog, and just deal with the claim of self-defense shooting. If an older, weaker, victim is attacked by a younger and stronger assailant, you have the right to defend yourself from being killed or maimed, I believe.
I don't know how the law in Illinois is, I've never been there. But I have heard of other cases where an older, weakened, or handicapped assault victim was ruled to be acting in self defense when using deadly force against a younger unarmed attacker.
I wonder if parts of the movie 'Gran Torino' was inspired by this case...
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
Live wire, I saw the Fox report as well and it made me mad also, but I dont know the whole story and I dont think they did either. I agree with SD, but if he did pull the gun first then got hit in the face, then I think that the shooter got what he deserved at a minimum. He could have walked away and not pulled the gun. Fox also reported that the shooter followed the kid down the street and the incident did not happen on his property. If thats the case, then the shooter escelated the event in my eyes and should have gone to jail.
Agreed Dundem.
Coder should have made his own thread.
But also in kind your thread title should have specified this case rather than being huh what who as it is current.
I can well see where Coder is coming from in thinking singularly by the manner that you started this thread.
At least in the OP include some background info on the story prior to the link as by your own hand or a partial (full is now against forum regs) quote of the meat of the story so folk know what this is all about.
To the story itself I distinctly recall this, BUT the detail of Funches being attacked including pushed and punched was not known/reported then.
In this case with this new info he should not have gotten a probation of anything, he should be no billed (!).
Dude was attacked on his own property by a trespasser who elevated the crime from simple trespass (uninvited) to criminal trespass upon coming forth to assault hm.
Clements being shot is Clement's own fault. Stay off peoples grass and don't be pushing, punching and trying to intimidate senior citizens (!)
Funches got robbed here...Even as he might be a person with an otherwise salty personality finicky about his lawn. IF this reporting is accurate
Personality type should have no bearing on ones right to defend ones self in the immediate from an attacker; Who is younger, stronger and thus more able to harm as against a person less able to defend without means of being armed.
None of this story as reported current or past makes much sense.
Toward the item by Coder I recall that story too.
Nothing much seems to have changed there aside from actual arrest of the accomplice, which is a minor update.
This is a god shoot. IMHO.
Although myself personally, I would not have made the choice to take that shot.
Why? Not because he might have looked like a teen/kid rather than say some salty old man.
Rather because no actual intrusion had been made AND because me simply yelling at the intruder to leave, I WILL SHOOT YOU!, and the cops are on the way would very likely have been enough to save me having to replace my door & glass after shooting through it (!) as well as the legal hell associated with shooting never mind killing a human being.
See the Funches case, among many others, for how an idea of how sideways that can go against an otherwise good shoot victim.
I'd have said what I had to say...And then _waited_ for the person to make a choice:
A) Cease & desist...No harm no foul, to maybe be swooped up by on the way responding police and thus live to see another day possibly toward reform;
B) Continue to attempt entry, and fail while being caught in the act by responding police for THEM to shoot him or take him without further property or person damage;
C) Continue to attempt entry, and _succeed_...Only to have him/them enter into my home as opposite my position taken up earlier by way of concealment (there is little to no real cover in a modern home)...And I'd dump on him/them both to stop him/them cold in their tracks at the entry point leaving them no where to hide or go but back out the way they came.
A is best case scenario, B is most probable case scenario, and C being worst case scenario for ll involved victim and victimizer(s).

Black Americans, By the Numbers
Monique Morris, co-founder of the National Black Women's Justice Institute and the author of Black Stats: African Americans by the Numbers in the Twenty-first Century, shares the good news and the bad contained in the statistics on black Americans. She is joined by Dr Khalil Gibran Muhammad director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at The New York Public Library and the author of The Condemnation of Blackness, who also wrote the introduction to Morris' book.
Some of the Stats Mentioned on Air
- R&B albums outsold hip-hop 2:1 in 2012
- Black K-12 students are 16 percent of the public school population but get 35 percent of the suspensions
- 36 percent of Black women do not use hair straightening products, up ten points since 2010
- The percentage of Black people among the executives and managers in the private sector is 3%

Hi all,
From my call sign, you can guess that I've spent most of my time on the salt (only recently duck hunting, though). We live in MA, but spent a couple years in Cleveland (wife is from there) and might be going back for a few (5-ish) years. I've recently gotten into sea-duck hunting and am wondering what the diver hunting is like in the Cle area. Puddlers/geese, too, as I'd be equal opportunity about it. ;-)
It would ceratinly make an Atlantic junkie feel more at home if I could hunt from the water on the lake!
Any thoughts on fly fishing in the area are also welcome, as I'll miss the stripers come Spring....

The electric power industry is in the midst of evolutionary change. The reliability events during the summer of 1999 (i.e., outages in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, the Delmarva [Delaware-Maryland-Virginia] Peninsula, the South-Central States, and Chicago and nonoutage power disturbances in New England and the Mid-Atlantic area) demonstrate that the necessary operating practices, regulatory policies, and technological tools for dealings with the changes are not yet in place to assure an acceptable level of reliability. In a restructured environment, generation technologies and prices are a matter of private choice, yet the reliability of the delivery system benefits everyone. The operation of the electric system is more difficult to coordinate in a competitive environment, where a much larger number of parties are participating.PB - U.S Department of Energy ER -

What do autumn's cool breeze and changing leaves signal for market researchers (especially those who live up north)? The beginning of the fall market research conference season. This is where we move past our virtual conversations via blogs and Twitter and meet face to face to talk about what really matters to us. For me, it is all about the benefits of emerging and innovative methodologies and what place they will have in our immediate future. Looking over my conference schedule, my conference season "theme" has primarily shaped up to be all about mobile, which doesn't surprise me. As I wrote back in July, we need to wake up and start thinking about mobile. Mobile offers us the unique opportunity to close the distance between the consumer's experience and our assessment of that experience. As such, I firmly believe that mobile research will be one of the most critical methods we have at our disposal to help us understand the empowered consumer in this new Age of the Customer.
Where will my "mobile-themed" road show take me this conference season? Here is where I will be in the next month or two.
First, I will be speaking at CASRO's Annual Conference in Palm Beach, October 19-21. Here, I'll be joined by some great colleagues on a panel discussing how firms can identify which emerging methodologies to invest in and what the process entails. Mobile will definitely be highlighted here as an example of a methodology that delivers a significant ROI.

2009 Kawasaki KFX 90
Stylish ATV sized to fit growing youth
Parents appreciate quality products that are designed to fit the needs of their growing youth. A wide stance, large tires, and full floorboards allow the KFX90 to offer stable and confidence-inspiring handling traits. Its friendly performance and big-bike styling make the KFX®90 ATV a smart choice for riders 12 years and older. At the core of the KFX90 is a reliable and environmentally friendly four-stroke air-cooled engine that provides healthy mid-range performance with an easy-to-use power delivery.
The KFX90 is also equipped with electric starting, single-shock swingarm rear suspension, A-arm front suspension, dual front drum and single rear disc brakes, much like those found on the larger KFX models.
Parents are sure to appreciate the added safety offered by the KFX90s keyed ignition switch which prevents use without the key. Once they hand over the key, parents can maintain control over the KFX90s use via the throttle limiting screw and a CVT transmission speed limiter. These allow the maximum speed to be preset to match the riders ability while letting the rider's confidence and skill levels increase in controlled increments.
The KFX90 is the perfect choice for riders 12 years and older. This ATV offers great mid-range engine performance with full-size ATV flair in its styling. Power comes from an easy to use and environmentally friendly, four-stroke, air-cooled powerplant.

The power of predictive analytics in the age of Big Data is super-cool, but will privacy concerns stop or stunt it's adoption? Watch this episode of Forrester TechnoPolitics with Eric Siegel, author of Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Lie, Buy, or Die to find out.
About Forrester TechnoPolitics
Ari Kaplan is a real moneyball guy. As President of Ariball, he has worked with more than half of all the MLB organizations to evaluate players for maximum return on the baseball club's investment. But, Ari is much more than just a moneyball guy, he is also a computer scientist, a data scientist, and has the business acumen to produce dramatic results for the teams he works with. He is the real deal. Forrester TechnoPolitics caught up with Ari at Predictive Analytics World in Chicago to ask him how Big Data and the role of the data scientist will advance the science of moneyball.

Too little data, too much data, inaccessible data, reports and dashboard that take too long to produce and often aren't fit for purpose, analytics tools that can only be used by a handful of trained specialists – the list of complaints about business intelligence (BI) delivery is long, and IT is often seen as part of the problem. At the same time, BI has been a top implementation priority for organizations for a number of years now, as firms clearly recognize the value of data and analytics when it comes to improving decisions and outcomes.
So what can you do to make sure that your BI initiative doesn't end up on the scrap heap of failed projects? Seeking answers to this question isn't unique to BI projects — but there is an added sense of urgency in the BI context, given that BI-related endeavors are typically difficult to get off the ground, and there are horror stories aplenty of big-ticket BI investments that haven't yielded the desired benefit.
In a recent research project, we set out to discover what sets apart successful BI projects from those that struggle. The best practices we identified may seem obvious, but they are what differentiates those whose BI projects fail to meet business needs (or fail altogether) from those whose projects are successful. Overall, it's about finding the right balance between business and IT when it comes to responsibilities and tasks – neither party can go it alone. The six key best practices are:
· Put the business into business intelligence.
· Be agile, and aim to deliver self-service.
· Establish a solid foundation for your data as well your BI initiative.

Yesterday Intel had a major press and analyst event in San Francisco to talk about their vision for the future of the data center, anchored on what has become in many eyes the virtuous cycle of future infrastructure demand – mobile devices and "the Internet of things" driving cloud resource consumption, which in turn spews out big data which spawns storage and the requirement for yet more computing to analyze it. As usual with these kinds of events from Intel, it was long on serious vision, and strong on strategic positioning but a bit parsimonious on actual future product information with a couple of interesting exceptions.
Content and Core Topics:
No major surprises on the underlying demand-side drivers. The the proliferation of mobile device, the impending Internet of Things and the mountains of big data that they generate will combine to continue to increase demand for cloud-resident infrastructure, particularly servers and storage, both of which present Intel with an opportunity to sell semiconductors. Needless to say, Intel laced their presentations with frequent reminders about who was the king of semiconductor manufacturingJ

Initial business intelligence (BI) ployment efforts are often difficult to predict and may dwarf the investment you made in BI platform software. The effort and costs associated with professional services, whether you use internal staff or hire contractors, depend not only on the complexity of business requirements like metrics, measures, reports, dashboards, and alerts, but also on the number of data sources you are integrating, the complexity of your data integration processes, and logical and physical data modeling. At the very least Forrester recommends considering the following components and their complexity to estimate development, system integration and deployment effort:

I've been presenting research on big data and data governance for the past several months where I show a slide of a businesswoman doing a backbend to access data in her laptop. The point I make is that data management has to be hyper-flexible to meet a wider range of analytic and consumption demands than ever before. Translated, you need to cross-train for data management to have cross-fit data.
The challenge is that traditional data management takes a one-size fits-all approach. Data systems are purpose built. If organizations want to reuse a finance warehouse for marketing and sales purposes, it often isn't a match and a new warehouse is built. If you want to get out of this cycle and go from data couch potato to data athlete, a cross-fit data training program should focus on:
Context first. Understanding how data is used and will provide value drives platform design. Context indicates more than where data is sourced from and where it will be delivered. Context answers: operations or analytics, structured or unstructured, persistent or disposable? These guide decisions around performance, scale, sourcing, cost, and governance.
Data governance zones. Command and control data governance creates a culture of "no" that stifles innovation and can cause the business to go around IT for data needs. The solution is to create policies and processes that give permission as well as mitigate risk. Loosen quality and security standards in projects and scenarios that are in contained environments. Tighten rules and create gates when called for by regulation, where there are ethical conflicts, or when data quality or access exposes the business to significant financial risk.

Amdocs is gradually adjusting its strategy to reflect one of the most fundamental changes in the ICT industry today: Increasingly, business line managers, think the marketing or sales officer, are the ones influencing sourcing decisions. Traditional decision-makers, CTOs and CIOs, are no longer the sole ICT decision-makers. Amdocs is addressing this shift by:

97 5.4 p1409
I was given this ford truck from a close friend who moved away.
i took apart the throttle body and cleaned the ports ( they were never blocked), along with the tubes from the exahust
new dpfe
new evr solenoid.
egr works fine
not sure what to do now ?!
from other similar issues on the web, i guess i could have a computer problem or a blocked CAT...
i figured id start here where everyone knows their stuff before i go elsewhere.
thankyou guys !!!
|The Following User Says Thank You to techinspector1 For This Useful Post:
The code description is important. The description says P1409- EGR Vacuum regualtor solenoid CIRCUIT FAULT. Its an electrical problem.
I see this all the time. Guys see a code and throw parts at it.
I see you put a regulator solenoid on it. Thats OK.
Chances are there is a short or an open in the circuit. A short is a circuit that has a mechanical defect that allows the current to flow to a ground path before it reaches its intended load . Like when the insulation is gone and the wire lays there and sparks.
An OPEN is where a wire is broken and the circuit is inoperative due to lack of power to the load or the return path to ground from the load.
Its a wiring problem my friend. If it were me, I would peel the insulation back on the wiring from the solenoid, for a few feet to see if the two wires are melted together....most likely from exhaust heat.
Wiring can be broken also.The connector could be broken at the plug for the device, or at some point the motor was changed and a wire was yanked in half.
I would look the harness over from the engine over to the PCM for anything obvious , then go from there and back probe the 2 wires in question up to the PCM pin terminals.
With the key on the solenoid plug will have 12 volts to one side Green with red IIRC the other terminal will be the ground path controlled by the PCM. Check for power with a test light ...if OK, then check across the 2 terminals. If the light lights...then the ground side is shorted to ground.
If this is 2 much to comprehend...knock a few back and re read later.
Fact is stranger than Fiction

killeratrod (09-06-2013)
hey thanks LATECH. at first i thought the OP was promoting a radio station .
i peeled back about a foot of insulation last night and found nothing yet. tonight ill check and see which way the short is going. i was hoping to avoid tearing into the clustered loom going down the vlave cover but i guess it needs to be done =]

Did you verify power on one ?
The other will be grounded when the ECM commands it. If it is grounded all the time then it has a short.
The ECM grounds the valve with a pulse width duty cycle.
The ECM grounds the solenoid when engine is warmed , over 176 IIRC , and when it sees part throttle and road speed. It wont ground at wide open, but it will when the ECM determines a warmed up cruise speed condition.
The power side will be easy to check...the ground will be a little more in depth.
Fact is stranger than Fiction
im gonna re read your first post about checking the ground short. i also found another source on the net that put it in nube terms for me.
i do know i have 12.7 volts in the plug
im off work now, ill be doing this stuff in a few minutes
i tested the plug and there is no short to ground.
there is 12.10 volts inside the plug.
With the solenoid plugged in and the key on, does the solenoid "click" if you manually ground the ground side?
If it works, you need to check the continuity of the ground wire from the device to the ecm.The wire could be broken or corroded in two.If not then the ECM needs verified.
Fact is stranger than Fiction
the evr does not make noise if i manually ground it but it does have a little bit of current jumping from my lead to the ground area. so i guess the circuit IS being made if manually ???????
It sounds like it. If you do that with the engine running(vacuum applied) does the evr open the EGR valve ? If not , the windings could be shorted, but still completing the circuit.This would register as an improper load to the ECM, which COULD result in a p1409 as that is a circuit problem.
If that checks out , back to checking the ground path to the ECM
Fact is stranger than Fiction
okay, so i put everything back in order, started the truck, let it idle for 2 minutes or so and i manually shorted the ground wire to the throttle body and the bolt holding it on ( ensured i made contact ) and nothing happened...
is it possible theres a fuse that has blown? i honestly donw know what else to look at, im gonna have to be guided with this one....
Try another solenoid. Sounds like your "new" solenoid aint so great.
Try another one, retest like you did. See if EGR valve opens like you did , with engine running. The idle speed should slow down and the engine shold falter if valve opens.
I get lots of "new " parts that aint so great.
Fact is stranger than Fiction

Deputy Chancellor Rodriguez Retires
After 34 years spent working in the city school system, Laura Rodriguez, the deputy chancellor for students with disabilities and English language learners, stepped down on Monday.
In a news release, the Department of Education announced that Ms. Rodriguez will be replaced by Corinne Rello-Anselmi as of July 1. Ms. Rello-Anselmi has worked with New York City schools for 33 years and oversees 324 schools as leader of 12 school support networks.
Angelica Infante, the executive director of the Office of English Language Learners, will be promoted to serve as a member of the chancellor's cabinet and report to Ms. Rello-Anselmi, education department officials said. Ms. Infante will oversee a plan to add 125 new bilingual and dual-language programs in New York City.
Under Ms. Rodriguez's leadership, the Education Department launched a citywide effort to educate more students with disabilities alongside the general student population. Programs for students with disabilities and English Language Learners serve hundreds of thousands of students in New York City: 14.3 percent of New York City's student population is still learning English, while 16.2 percent have a disability that requires special attention in school. There are more than 176 languages spoken in the city's public schools.
Ms. Rodriguez began her career as a teacher of English Language Learners and held numerous positions in the Education Department over the years, including regional superintendent in the Bronx, deputy superintendent for instruction in the Bronx, and director of high school bilingual education and English as a Second Language. She had previously led the Department's Leadership Learning Support Organization overseeing 136 schools and 76,000 students.
In a statement released from city Department of Education headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse, Ms. Rodriguez said, "As a graduate of New York City public schools, it has been a privilege and honor to serve our students and school communities throughout my career."
Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott said that Ms. Rodriguez has established a foundation that will be built upon, and he praised her accomplishments.
"Laura and I have worked closely together for years," he said, "and I have seen first hand her professionalism, compassion for students, and genuine interest in building relationships with community groups and families."

I don't think I've ever been caught as off-guard by something like that in my life.
I still have a hard time sorting my thoughts. It's so weird. I mean, I know BILD has a strong batting average when they actually say something IS done, but I still have a hard time believing this. Then again, it obviously makes sense on some levels. Pep loves him, G�tze is said to be a fan, Bayern's staff (led by Sammer) loved him for a while... Well, who in football does not, these days? And it would explain some of Klopp's remarks over the last months that media attributed to the Lewa rumors. Well, I'm still not sold. I did not see him leaving Dortmund this summer, as I always said. Hell, I would have considered 2014 a long shot. I always thought there was a good chance Bayern would be his next team, but had you told me yesterday about this happening this summer I would have called it a pipe dream.
It's so weird. If true (and it kind of looks very much that way), it's obviously a dream of a transfer. But at the same time, I feel for Dortmund and for the devastating timing of this news. I hope they can do what they have done so amazingly well over the last years and find world-class talent to come in and pick things up. Bayern's current state is all it takes to show how important it is to have that kind of competition around.
Well, the one thing I know we'll hear is this being the old classic Bayern weakening their opponents. And I think it actually was never further from the truth than here. Sure, he's (allegedly) coming from the biggest German rival. But he's one of the most sought after young players in world football, and German born. This transfer would clearly be 100% about getting Mario G�tze onto your team, and getting Mario G�tze off Dortmund wouldn't even be an aftersight.
But we'll see, I guess. I have a hard time processing this. And believing. Although I do want to - how could I not.

Apple has come out in full support of its app developers, some of whom have been threatened by a company claiming it owns a patent covering in-app payments.
Earlier this month, Lodsys, a patent licensing company for inventions, contacted at least five developers of iOS apps in the UK and US claiming it has four patents relating to in-app purchases, interactive online ads, online help and subscription renewals. The developers referred the claim to Apple's legal department as at the time of the claim it was unknown whether or not Apple had licensed any of the Lodsys patents. Now, following an investigation by its legal department, Apple has hit back with a strongly-worded letter stating that it is not happy to see its app ecosystem coming under threat. In the letter from Bruce Sewell, the head lawyer in Apple's legal department, to Mark Small, the chief executive of Lodsys, Apple claims it does in fact hold licences for the relevant patents "and the Apple App Makers are protected by that license. There is no basis for Lodsys's infringement allegations against Apple's App Makers."
Sewell goes on to say that Lodsys' claims were invalidated because the developers "require the use of Apple's APIs to provide two-way communication," as well as the physical memory, which is also provided by Apple and claims as its "central location" the Apple App Store. On its blog last week Lodsys said: "The scope of their [Apple] current licenses does NOT enable them to provide "pixie dust" to bless another (3rd party) business applications." The blog has not since been updated in response to Apple's letter. Sewell's letter concludes by calling on Lodsys to stop threatening iOS app developers: "Apple requests that Lodsys immediately withdraw all notice letters sent to Apple App Makers and cease its false assertions that the App Makers... in any [infringed] any Lodsys patent."
So it comes down to the fact that Apple says it has the licences to cover the patents mentioned by Lodsys, with the patent holding company claiming it doesn't. While this letter probably won't deter Lodsys, it is nice to see Apple strongly defend its app developers who make them so much money.

The career of one of Australia's greatest ever cricketers is set to go on the line in Perth this weekend.
Veteran Ricky Ponting is under immense pressure to keep his spot in the side after scoring just 20 runs in three innings against South Africa.
The 38-year-old is expected to be given another chance in the third Test, which starts in Perth on Friday.
But with age against him and younger batsmen knocking on the door, Ponting knows his career may be over if he fails again.
"I'm a realist," he said on Sunday.
"I live in the real world and I know if I'm not getting runs I might not make the summer out and I definitely won't be in England (for the Ashes in 2013).
"If I score runs then I will get myself selected. If I don't, I will leave the door open for someone else to come in my spot."
Selectors have several batsmen to turn to should Ponting's poor run of form continue.
Highly-credentialed youngsters Phillip Hughes and Usman Khawaja have been standouts in domestic cricket this summer, while lesser known batsmen like Alex Doolan, Callum Ferguson and Joe Burns have also been impressive.
Calls for Ponting to retire mirror the criticism he received 12 months ago when his form deteriorated.
He responded with a brilliant series against India last summer, which saw him fail to pass 50 just once in six innings.
With his short-term future secure, Ponting began the domestic season strongly and looked primed for another big summer of Test cricket.
"The disappointing thing for me about the start of this Test series is I have felt in really good touch" he said.
"My (Sheffield) Shield stuff early season has been really good and I actually felt I was batting better than I had in a few years."
Ponting's two dismissals in Adelaide indicate his footwork and reflexes may be on the decline.
Bowled on both occasions, he slipped and was embarrassingly left on his hands and knees in the first innings after a brilliant swinging delivery from Jacques Kallis beat his bat and hit off stump.
The veteran knows the pressure is on to turn his form around.
"I haven't spoken to the selectors anything about my immediate future and they haven't spoken to me about it either," Ponting said.
"I'm sure that conversation is going to come in the near future but nothing has happened just yet."
If Ponting is selected for Perth as expected, he will equal Steve Waugh's Australian record of 168 Tests.
Do you think Ricky Ponting should be given another chance?

Tool of the Trade (1987)
by Joe Haldeman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Haldeman writes a goods story. The constant flow of awards proves that. And, in this book, another good story. No, it isn't great as Forever War and others are great. But it's a good read, a fun read, an interesting read, the kind of read almost anyone enjoys having. This is an interesting blend of genres. The science fiction element is expected of Haldeman, but it is not the driver. Instead, this is more spy story than science fiction. And any spy story, with it's reliance on gadgets and gizmos, can have a small science fiction element. But the gimmick here (the design of an object that makes the listener do anything our hero requests) is prevalent enough that you have to consider this a blending. And Haldeman does a good job of taking a potentially Pollyanna ending (let's get rid of all the nuclear weapons and live happily ever after) and not completing accepting that solution. Yes, it probably is a little contrived, and it probably wouldn't work out that way in the real world, but the reader is willing to accept it in the context of the story.

One Fish, Two Fish, Small Fish, Bluefish
Nearly two feet of snow outside makes diving into the pantry much more appealing than schlepping out to the grocery store. Many times, a strategically hoarded jar of anchovies can provide a meal-saving burst of flavor. However, Louis Rozzo, the fourth-generation owner of F. Rozzo and Sons, makes the case that it's worth a visit to the local fishmonger for fresh anchovies, as well as fresh versions of other traditionally canned fish like sardines and mackerel.
Rozzo explains that there is a very practical reason for why small fish are often found in cans: their high oil content means they spoil quickly. But whenever he receives shipments of fresh sardines, Rozzo makes certain to sell the fish the very same day. "Now, more than ever, you're able to buy sardines and anchovies fresh, outside of the can," Rozzo said. "Any time you're can do that, that is something that is a delicacy. They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they're very flavorful and they have a luxurious, booming taste if they're cooked right and prepared right."
He adds that freshness is crucial for oily fish, like bluefish. If it's less than fresh or improperly prepared, Rozzo warns that it can cause distinct gastro-intestinal distress. On the other hand, he notes that few fish are as delicious as a freshly caught bluefish.
Rozzo, who supplies top New York City seafood restaurants like Aquavit, Le Bernardin and Avoce, notes that more and more chefs like Michael White are using fresh sardines. He provides BLT's Amy Eubanks with Spanish mackerel, and she cures it for 12 hours. On the other hand, David Chang serves it raw as sushi at his Momofuku restaurants. "The variety of fish [chefs use] is greatly changed because of us being able to bring in fish over night," Rozzo says.
Rozzo recommends a few simple methods for cooking fish at home. Clean and debone sardines, for example, then sear them on the grill. Anchovies can be fried.
When it comes to canned anchovies, though, Rozzo admits he's at a loss. "I have to be honest with you, I've never had anchovies out of a can because I'm always able to get them fresh," he says laughing. "I know that sounds a little snobby, but I'm in the fish business."
Here's a recipe Rozzo likes for warm mackerel tartletta with salsa cruda and aged balsamic from the executive chef of a restaurant he supplies, Marea.
Warm Mackerel Tartletta with Salsa Cruda and Aged Balsamic
by Jared Gadbaw, Executive Chef at Marea at 240 Central Park South
"Since Marea, a coastal Italian restaurant, is heavily focused on seafood, the chef buys fresh mackerel from me every day. I'd like to highlight a wonderful recipe of theirs, which executive chef Jared Gadbaw was kind enough to share with your listeners." —Louis Rozzo
For the tart shell: Whisk 1 cup heavy cream with 3/4 cup all-purpose flour until it forms a thick paste. Add the zest of half a lemon, 1 tsp. salt and some fresh cracked pepper. Spread the paste evenly in a thin layer over a nonstick baking sheet (if the paste is too thick, add a bit of milk until it is manageable). Bake in a 300-degree F. oven for about 8 minutes. It should be firm enough to handle but not yet hard. Using a 3.5" round ring-mold (roughly), punch out rounds and remove excess dough. Return your rounds to the oven and bake until crispy and golden brown.
For the salsa cruda: Seed, peel and dice 3 ripe tomatoes. Add 1 small minced shallot, some good olive oil and salt to taste. Before serving, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and some chopped basil.
For the onion marmalade: Thinly slice 2 onions, and slowly cook them in a pan with olive oil until they are soft and golden brown. Season with salt and a little balsamic vinegar. (If you have it, a nicer, more aged vinegar would be best. If not, you can reduce your vinegar by half and use that.)
To assemble, take your boneless, skinless mackerel fillet and lay whole basil leaves in one layer across the top of the fillet. Slice 1" pieces across the fillet and basil. Using the same mold you punched the shell with, assemble the slices on their sides in the mold so that there is a slice of basil between each piece of fish. Spread a bit of your onion marmalade on your tart shell, and place the molded fish over top. Season with salt, and place under broiler on high for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from mold. Squeeze a little lemon over the fish and plate with a generous spoonful of your salsa. Finish with a little of your balsamic and maybe a little dressed arugula.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
But, Everyone Likes Cake, Don't They?
It was the first round of voir dire (jury selection). The courtroom is packed with almost one hundred prospective jurors, filling the audience. We start by addressing the first twelve as a panel. The prosecutor gets to go first.
I'm listening, but it's the same old stuff from every case. But then he's making some long, dumb analogy about reasonable doubt being like a recipe. Maybe you have some ingredients of the recipe, but you don't have all of the ingredients... could it still come out as the intended finished product?
I knew where he was going with this. The prosecutor didn't have a key piece of evidence. The police had given the allegedly stolen property back to the victim immediately upon my client's arrest. He's trying to make sure the jury is going to be alright with never getting to see that key piece of evidence.
My mind starts to wander just a little bit. I started to think that maybe when it was my turn, I would get up and follow up on his analogy. Maybe I would ask, "Ok, if you're asked to make a salad for a dinner party, and then realize that you don't have any lettuce, can you just toss the salad dressing in a bowl and call it 'close enough?' Can you hope that your dinner party guests will just smell the salad dressing and jump to the conclusion that you've made a nice salad for them, without you ever having to show it to them...?"
But luckily, something pulled my attention back to the courtroom. Just in time to hear the prosecutor address Juror Number Five, the lone obese man on the panel, by saying, "Mr. Smith, you like cake, right?"
Poor Mr. Smith turned bright red. One woman gasped out loud. The entire room gave the prosecutor dirty looks. To his credit, he kept on talking, as if maybe he didn't even get his faux pas. But there weren't enough peremptories in the world.
And there was no way I was touching that analogy with a ten foot pole.
The lesson to learn here is: Stick with salad, it's safer. That's the easy lesson.
I guess the slightly more complicated lesson is, look at someone and try to be sensitive to what their insecurities might be. But that takes a little more empathy than most young prosecutors have.
(Later, I overheard the prosecutor talking to a court officer. I think the court officer was trying to explain to the prosecutor where he went wrong. To which, the prosecutor, still clueless, responded, "But, everyone likes cake, don't they?")

Once.. I had this juror who went to high school with the responding officer. I was thinking, "Well, that so long ago that it probably doesn't make a difference in her opinion." And I actually said something that implied it was a long time ago.. and as soon as it came out of my mouth, I was immediately embarrassed.ReplyDelete
But really, the women clearly graduated over 20 years ago, so what's the big deal?
That is a great storyReplyDelete
erm, "prospective" not "perspective" juror...ReplyDelete
I have a friend who works in the financial industry who doesn't wear skirt suits, doesn't wear makeup or jewelry, and has a slightly low voice. At a meeting to talk about diversity and in particular LGBT recruiting, one thickheaded work colleague said, "Well, we should ask [friend's name]! She should know all about it."ReplyDelete
Friend was, of course, sitting in the room. Friend says quietly, "I'm not a lesbian. I'm straight." And someone else says to the guy, "And even if she were, you shouldn't be outing someone like that."
Not too quick on the uptake, the thickheaded work colleague tried to "explain" his faux pas by pointing at friend and spluttering, "Not a lesbian? Just... just... look at her!"
I swear I am not making this up.
Ooh, good catch, Biggie. Thanks, I fixed it. That's why my teachers always said "you can't get by one spell checker alone." ;)ReplyDelete

Significant Criteria Of Car Speakers
You don't have to be an expert with car speakers if you need to buy one. Of course you need to have a little knowledge about it or else you won't be able to know what it is you should buy. A quality stereo system should produce rich and effective sound to keep up to its reputation. A car stereo should inculcate a nice poise between bass as well as treble.Checkout Click here for more info.
For higher bass, you can add in a sub woofer which would lift up the punch level to new level which you can enjoy while driving. At first, you require superior speakers to enhance the performance of the car stereo which will even improve the nature of the sound as well as offer a great listening experience to the owner of the car. In order to select your car speakers, go to the internet and search thoroughly to find out the best speaker system that is currently dominating the market.
Read the comparison, comments and previews on the respective speakers and trust the ones that have a brand name as they usually deliver quality products with proper warranty schemes. Get the best car speakers for sound quality ad not just because you heard that these speakers are used by someone you know.

So, Jeremy Paxman, do you know what day it is? Do you? It's a simple enough question. On Tuesday, during an interview on Newsnight with the Treasury minister Chloe Smith, you asked: "What's happened between the 23rd of May and today, which is what, the 25th of June?" Mr Paxman, shouldn't a presenter on a salary most of us could only dream of know what day it is? Every child in the country knows that Tuesday was the 26th of June. Pathetic!
No, I haven't taken leave of my senses. I'm just sick of interviews conducted in a style more appropriate to the Colosseum than a civilised country. On Newsnight and Radio 4's Today programme, presenters swagger into interviews like lions about to devour cowering Christians. Paxman is the retiarius of interrogators, casting a net over his victims and giving them repeated jabs with his trident while they're tangled up in words.
I think Smith did rather well to keep her temper in the face of a performance – I use the word deliberately – whose chief purpose seemed to be her humiliation. Paxman began with a question she was clearly not able to answer and kept repeating it, with all the incredulity of a prosecution lawyer confronting a wife-beater. It would have been mildly interesting to know when the Government made its decision to postpone an increase in fuel duty, but Smith's reluctance to reveal confidential conversations wasn't nearly as incriminating as Paxman made out.
Confrontation has become the dominant style of current-affairs programmes. I know and like John Humphrys but it's impossible to listen to him, Paxman or Jonathan Dimbleby interrupting yet another politician without wishing they'd shut up. Often the interviewee is on the verge of saying something interesting when the interrogator decides it isn't the answer he wants, and we get another fusillade of interruptions. It doesn't make for a stimulating or informed debate.
But then I don't think that's the purpose. Gladiatorial contests are about one person coming out on top, and the interviewer has all the advantages. He doesn't have to worry about breaking confidences or letting down colleagues, while appalling rudeness is excused as fearless pursuit of the truth. "That's absolute tripe!" Paxman told the Italian journalist Annalisa Piras on Monday, dismissing her views on the Eurozone as though he were a Nobel-winning economist.
If Smith is smarting from her experience, she might want to consider this. When presenters harrumph and cut someone off mid-sentence, they think they're showing intellectual rigour. But it's really a boorish form of populism, which is just what the Colosseum audience loves.Reuse content

This great snack is going to be my contribution to the Super Bowl Party menu. My family loved it, and managed to demolish it as an after school snack!
Very one should make this at least once!
This is not just an appetizer, we use it for supper snack. sometimes when we are tired, or perhaps have had a luncheon meeting so that we don't want to cook a lot for supper, just "snack", kick back and watch the ballgame, this comes in handy.

China protest shifts with economic backdrop post-'89
By Jason Subler
BEIJING (Reuters) - Twenty years after the crackdown on pro-democracy protests centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square, China's economy has developed to the point that similar protests on the same scale are highly unlikely today.
The students and workers at the core of that June 4, 1989 movement faced problems from rampant inflation to the dismantling of a centralized system of job appointments. But people today generally enjoy much better living standards across the board.
Gross domestic product per capita has shot up nine-fold to an estimated $3,600 this year from $400 in 1989, according to the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook.
With that increased affluence, many of the students, professionals and other groups who would be the most likely potential source of organized challenges to the Communist Party rule are generally more occupied with making a living and getting ahead than with political change.
"As long as people are generally getting better off, I think the overwhelming majority will not have the willingness or the incentive to push so far as to risk taking on the system," said Andrew Gilholm, senior Northeast Asia analyst with consultancy Control Risks.
"The costs and the risks of trying to do that are still very high."
Not that Beijing does not face other challenges.

Electrolysis for Brows, Chin and Upper Lip Area
Pros: I looked great for thirteen years!
Cons: After encountering an inexperienced electrolysist I was left scarred.
Con: Unless the electrolysist uses a Weiss microscope, the frequency of treatments could drag on for years in that they are unable to destroy the hair permanently unless it is at its finest. In improving visibility, it also reduces scabbing.
After years of successful electrolysis I went to an electrolysist who left me with deep scabs, on my upper lip area, that lasted about a month. The scabs turned to red dots and by the end of the summer they turned into dark dots which looked like a mustache. In addition, within a two week time frame in the fourth month, I developed the sudden appearance of wrinkles in the same area. I have no other wrinkles.

Civil Defense: Fear and Safety
In the 1950s and the 1960s, Maine's Civil Defense effort focused on preparedness for hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters and a more global concern, nuclear war. Civil Defense materials urged awareness, along with measures like storing food and other staple items and preparing underground or other shelters.

I paid $33k when it had 13k miles, it was $45k new. But people were buying them for $41k. So you can't assume cash buyers are getting no discount while your lease includes a large discount.
and your $3k trade-in is way off, by the way. A 10 year old E36 went for $5000, and it was only $35k new. So a $50k BMW would be worth something like $7k.
I do agree that cash buyers should buy a car 1-2 years old like I did, you'll save $10-15k in just a year. Paying cash for a new $50k with high depreciation makes no sense to me.

The 2008 Prolactin and Growth Hormone Gordon Family Research Conference will provide a forum for the presentation and active discussion of the most cutting-edge information and ideas on Prolactin, Growth Hormone and related peptides. The Gordon Research Conference format will bring together investigators that are international leaders in the structural, biochemical, cell signaling, physiological, developmental and clinical-pathological aspects of these hormone ligands and their receptors. This conference will provide a thorough and in-depth coverage of prolactin and growth hormone biology, thus continuing the tradition of being the premier meeting in this field.
The peptide ligands and receptors for PRL and GH have been shown to mediate critical biological actions related to reproduction and growth, respectively. However, PRL also affects many nonreproductive targets, such as modulating behavior, promoting neurogenesis, inducing tumorigenesis, regulating angiogenesis and bone formation, and impacting the immune system. Similarly, GH biology extends beyond its classical IGF-1-stimulatory and growth-promoting effects. Indeed, the GH/IGF-1 system has been implicated in carcinogenesis, cellular maintenance and repair, metabolism, obesity, diabetes, longevity and aging pathways. While these recent advances have provided important insights into PRL and GH actions, nevertheless the precise mechanisms by which these two hormones mediate their effects remain unanswered.
We encourage basic, clinician, and industry scientists at all career stages interested in these areas to attend the PRL and Growth Hormone Family GRC.

While Mihato fits in easily, Ren feels otherwise at first but he slowly starts to get used to the job at hand, experiencing a lot of weirdness with the Kuonji household and their friends. Even after accidentally breaking an expensive vase, he finally passes the trial period and gets assigned to Shinra-sama, to the bane of Benisu.
Hmm, I guess my main problem with this episode would be the pacing issues, with the randomness of the characters and the sudden attempt at plot development at the end there. They should've just made the show more "madcap" than try to be serious all of a sudden at the end there.
Otherwise, this show is rather full of the LULZ and there are a bunch of new characters appearing this week, mostly Yume's school friends, which include a masochist gaijin, lol.
Shinra didn't get much showtime this week, but she does give a lot of this week's fanservice, including a hot bath and licking, ahaha. Poor Miyu, although she herself is rather bold too XD.
