This "How To" is a work in progress. People can respond in this thread and we'll work together to find the best solution.
Unfortunately I've only got access to one PC right now so I can't test any of this stuff out.
Let's say you have a small wired network of three computers all connected together by means of a hub.
Next you come along with your laptop and your Alfa. You use your Alfa to connect to a wireless network, and you want to share your internet connection with this little network of 3 PC's. On your laptop, your Alfa is wlan0 and your wired Ethernet card is eth0.Code:PC1 | [hub]--- PC2 | PC3
The objective is to hook up your laptop to the hub and to provide the other three computers with Internet access.
So here goes, there's two ways of sharing the Internet connection:
1) Simple Layer-2 Ethernet Bridging
You can create a simple Layer-2 bridge between the interfaces wlan0 and eth0. All this does is share all frames between the two interfaces. For instance, if a broadcast frame is received on wlan0, it will be forwarded on to eth0. It's exactly as if you were to take wlan0 and eth0 and connect them into a hub together so that they can both see each others frames.
When one of the wired computers on the LAN sends out a DHCP request, it will be received at eth0 on your laptop and from there it will be forwarded to wlan0, and from there the DHCP request will reach the access point. When the DHCP reply comes back from the access point, it will be received at wlan0 on your latop and from there it will be forwarded to eth0. So each of the three PC's will get an IP address directly from the access point. It will be exactly as though the three PC's were connected directly to the AP.
2) Make eth0 act as a router that leads to the network on wlan0
You make eth0 behave as a NAT-enabled router. eth0 will be part of a private network containing the three PC's. eth0 will have its own DHCP server. When eth0 responds to a DHCP request, it specifies itself as the default gateway, meaning that when the other 3 computers want to access the internet, they treat eth0 as the router.
When eth0 receives an IP packet that has a destination IP address other than its own, it will perform NAT on the packet and then forward the packet on to wlan0. Later when a reply is received on wlan0, your eth0 NAT-enabled router will perform NAT on the packet and forward it on to the appropriate computer. This, by the way, is how Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing works.
I find the 2nd choice to be preferable, because if you were to change the wifi network that wlan0 is connected to, then the three LAN PC's don't need to know about it, all they need to do is treat eth0 as their default gateway, there's no need for them to perform a DHCP request all over again.
Now here's the thing. I know exactly how to achieve both of these methods in MS-Windows, but since MS-Windows is gay and I don't use it anymore, I want to be able to achieve both of them at the command line in Linux, hence I started this thread.
The First Method
So far I've been playing around with creating a Layer-2 Ethernet bridge, and it seems as though it's easier than I could ever have imagined. Here's how you create a bridge between wlan0 and eth0:
By the way I found out how to do this from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridgeCode:sudo brctl addbr vhub #This creates the virtual hub sudo brctl addif vhub eth0 #This connects eth0 to the virtual hub sudo brctl addif vhub wlan0 #This connects wlan0 to the virtual hub sudo ifconfig vhub up
If I'm not mistaken that should be it. Now just connect your laptop by Ethernet cable into the physical hub and let the 3 PC's do a DHCP. They'll end up with an internet connection. (Sadly I can't test this out because I've only got one computer at my disposal so if I'm wrong then post here and correct me).
The second method
This one will be somewhat more complicated. I haven't done much research on this, but it looks like this is achieved by means of using iptables to do "IP masquerading". Basically you set up iptables so that it will create a virtual NAT-enabled, DHCP-enabled router between eth0 and wlan0.
If anyone has experience with this and has gotten it working, then feel free to beat me to the punch and post your solution here. Otherwise if nobody replies then I'll have a go at it myself and post what I find later.
Sorry for posting a half-finished How To but I reckon it's better than nothing because this is a topic I'm really interested in. Plus everyone can contribute to find the best solution.

Settlement of Aswarby
Reference Name MLI90332
Settlement of Aswarby
The settlement of Aswarby is first mentioned in the Domesday Book and survives to the present.
[Note: the location shown on mapinfo for this village corresponds to the 19th century and later estate village - for the probable site of the earlier village, see PRN 63998.]
Aswarby is first mentioned in the Domesday Book. Land there was owned by Gilbert de Gand and Guy of Craon. It had a minimum population of 42 sokemen and 4 bordars. A church and two parts of another church are also mentioned. {1}
The place name 'Aswardby' is of old Danish origin and refers to the farmstead or village of Aswarth. {2}
The Lay Subsidy of 1334 lists the settlement's wealth as £3 8s 7 3/4d, below average for its wapentake (Aswardhurn). {3}
The Diocesan Return of 1563 records 22 households in the parish. {4}
By the late 17th/early 18th century, there were 21 families in the parish, falling to 19. {5}
By 1801 there were 113 people living in the parish, rising to 142 in 1861 before falling again to 122 by 1901. {6}
The current layout of the village is influenced by the Aswarby Park estate, and many of the buildings are former estate cottages or offices built in 1845-51 (see individual building records for further details), after the village was moved to make way for an improved and enlarged park. The earlier village is said to have been located about 500 yards to the south-west of its current site (see PRN 63998). {7}{8}
Aswarby was briefly famous as a spa or medicinal spring in the 1730s and the local inn was said to cater for "vast crowds". {9}{10}

Economics from Albion
It seems someone in England has read Adam Smith, and can explain with passion, logic, and conviction the basic truths of how the world works to those unacquainted to the world, to truth, or to logic. It is an astonishing and heartening performance. To hear common sense these days is as rare as hearing a Shakespearean sonnet.
The gentleman's name is Daniel Hannan.
This is a shock and a surprise to me. I had thought the Socialists had castrated every brain in Europe, as well as lobotomized their manhood, and left their entire craven and neutered intellectual class unable to perform any higher mental functions aside from uttering stale ad hominem attacks.
If any socialist leaves a comment here, you will see what I mean. They cannot help themselves, since their philosophy requires first, that they respond as if intellectually superior, requires that they arrogate to themselves the moral high ground, yet robs them of any rational means to make an intellectual argument or support a moral position. So, logically, the only thing left to them is to PRETEND that they have some moral and mental superiority, and the only way to create that illusion is to indulge in ad hominem, that is, to honor themselves by dishonoring their opposition's motives, character, intelligence, or background.
One would think they could use other illogical arguments to buttress their position, but keep in mind their position is as much an emotional security blanket to bandage their frail self-worth and smother their consciences more than it is an economic argument. The argument only has power to the socialist if it flatters their self-esteem, and nothing flatters the self esteem more than an excuse to indulge in envy and malice. How easy are all debates to the faithful socialist, since all his foes are illiterate devils!

Christian Aid Groups Committed to War Victims in Sri Lanka
As fighting persists in war-torn Sri Lanka, Christian groups are stepping up to meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians who are in urgent need of food and clean water.
"This emergency has the potential to claim as many lives from lack of food and water as from conflict," said Joanne Fairley, Lutheran World Relief's regional director for Asia and the Middle East, in a statement released Monday.
LWR had already committed $50,000 in response to the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka, but it is appealing for an additional $500,000 from donors to meet the critical need as the conflict worsens.
The ministry's partners on the ground are helping to distribute items such as water, food and needed non-food products to civilians affected by the violence. LWR and its local partners plan to provide food and other emergency items to more than 15,000 people for the next three months.
"The entire situation in Sri Lanka remains unstable," Fairley said. "Our first priority is to ensure that people have what they need to survive."
International Christian aid agency World Vision is also committed to providing food to internally displaced people. More than 25,000 people have received food packets from the ministry in recent weeks, and 700 families have received hospital care packs. Also everyday the Christian ministry distributes nearly 100,000 liters of water to various camp sites.
According to the United Nations, some 200,000 are in refugee camps and waiting for relief assistance. An estimated 50,000 civilians remain trapped in the war zone.
Aid and rights groups have accused the separatists Tamil Tigers of using civilians as human shields, but the rebels deny the allegation.
The rebels have fought the Sri Lanka government for more than 20 years to create a separate state for minority Tamils, who suffer discrimination from the Sinhalese majority government, they claim.
In recent months, however, fighting has intensified as the government made concerted efforts to completely defeat the rebels. On Tuesday, the Sri Lanka prime minister said government troops have trapped the Tamil Tigers in a tiny stretch of coastline and will not let its leader escape.
An estimated 6,500 people have been killed in the past three months in the civil war, the United Nations says.
"Our country is experiencing the worst of this disaster at the moment," said Bible League's national director of ministry for Sri Lanka, whose name was not released.
"This war has destroyed the normal lives of people, especially in the north," the ministry leader highlighted. "Apart from deaths among the fighting parties, members of the general public are being killed and wounded almost every day. People are helpless."
The Sri Lanka-based staff further noted that many people have lost everything while fleeing the conflict. Hundreds of Christians who are living in refugee camps do not have anything, including their Bibles.
In response, Bible League staff and volunteers are working in the war-torn north to put Bibles in the hands of displaced Christians and offer Bible studies. Since 2003, more than 15,000 Sri Lankan have completed such Bible studies.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Sri Lanka's population is 69 percent Buddhist, 7.6 percent Muslim, 7.1 percent Hindu, and 6.2 percent Christian. The religious affiliation of the remaining 10 percent is unspecified.

Textiles: origins to usage by Jules Labarthe
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Old, out of date, and I still love this book. Written primarily for Home Economic students, it was, and still really is, an excellent introduction to textile chemistry. Out of date insofar as there are far more manmade fibres now, but now this book is an excellent historical resource.
This book is an important addition to the literature on textiles. It was written primarily for students of Home Economics and is an introduction to textile chemistry. First, it covers very well, and in simple, direct language, the basic textile processes, the more important types of yarns and weaves, and the various natural and man-made fibres. Thus, one is tempted to make it required reading for graduate students who plan to embark on careers in textile research. The later chapters of the book are exceptionally well done in setting forth the problems of the consumer...

Gas prices down in Colo. Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Average retail gasoline prices in Colorado Springs have fallen 4.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.49/g Sunday.
This compares with the national average that has fallen 5.6 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.51/g, according to gasoline price website ColoradoSpringsGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Colorado Springs during the past week, prices Sunday were 7.5 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 18.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 28.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 7.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Even with Hurricane Sandy causing havoc on refineries and infrastructure in the Northeast, gasoline prices nationally have continued to trend lower," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "It goes to show how much more significant the Gulf Coast is to this nation's energy backbone when such a massive storm causes no major rise in the national average. The good news is that average prices will likely continue to decline, perhaps to $3.35/gal nationally by Thanksgiving. For those in Sandy's wake, fuel availability remains difficult, and is the reason GasBuddy has implemented an emergency fuel availability service," DeHaan said.


text: REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced that Windows and Windows Live President Steven Sinofsky will be leaving the company and that Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. Tami Reller retains her roles as chief financial officer and chief marketing officer and will assume responsibility for the business of Windows. Both executives will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO) These changes are effective immediately. "I am grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company," Ballmer said. "The products and services we have delivered to the market in the past few months mark the launch of a new era at Microsoft. We've built an incredible foundation with new releases of Microsoft Office, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Microsoft Surface, Windows Server 2012 and 'Halo 4,' and great integration of services such as Bing, Skype and Xbox across all our products. To continue this success it is imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings." "It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft. I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company," Sinofsky said. Since 1993, Larson-Green has worked on and led some of the most successful products for Microsoft, including the user experiences for early versions of Internet Explorer, and helped drive the thinking behind the refresh of the user experience for Microsoft Office. For Windows 7 and Windows 8 she was responsible for program management, user interface design and research, as well as development of all international releases. She has a master's degree in software engineering from Seattle University and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Western Washington University. In her new role she will be responsible for all future Windows product development in addition to future hardware opportunities. "Leading Windows engineering is an incredible challenge and opportunity, and as I looked at the technical and business skills required to continue our Windows trajectory — great communication skills, a proven ability to work across product groups, strong design, deep technical expertise, and a history of anticipating and meeting customer needs — it was clear to me that Julie is the best possible person for this job, and I'm excited to have her in this role," Ballmer said.

Project DescriptionLocated along the Jialing River in a newly built urban district of Chongqing, Longfor Starry Street is a six level, 600m long restaurant and entertainment district at the base of a vast hi-rise multifamily residential project. The main design challenge was to provide overall project and tenant identity for the external facades, and to create a sense of place for the central drop-off and arrival zone.
At the central lobby, a terraced, orange-clad Picture Frame allows a space for views of the river and informal performances and gatherings. Adjacent to the Picture Frame a wooden Jewel Box is highlighted by its staggered frit glass pattern and color changing LED lighting. The spaces within and around the Jewel Box and Picture Frame Buildings provide overlook terraces and vertical gallery spaces ideal for public art exhibitions, new product roll outs and other seasonal festivals and displays.
The integration of inside and outside providing a visceral connection to the river and skyline of the Chongqing, and provide a focal point for the project that can be seen from a distance. Inside, walls and floors are clad in cream colored limestone, warm wood and champagne-bronzed metal.
Each of the eight vertical circulation lobbies is identified by large numeric super graphics and LED-illuminated frit entry glass, with elevator walls accented with brightly colored glass surrounds and warm textured stone.
Tenant identities are integrated into sloped back-lit pylons and panel signs in the lobby's glass walls, balancing the project's overall brand with the individual personality of each tenant.
With its exciting riverfront location, the Longfor Starry Street project is a unique retail project that provides a premier destination for leisure, restaurants and public gathering in Chongqing.

As clock winds down, CP Rail's Harrison hunts for his dream deal
By Allison Martell and Nick Carey
TORONTO/CHICAGO Oct 17 (Reuters) - Veteran railroad boss Hunter Harrison has won over many critics since taking over as chief executive of Canadian Pacific Railway, but he still has unfinished business - creation of a consolidated North American railway - and he is running out of time to do it.
That might explain why CP, Canada's No. 2 railway with extensive operations in the United States, and the No. 3 U.S. railway, CSX Corp, have been talking about combining, even though such a deal would face tough regulatory barriers and alarm customers.
A source familiar with the situation said the two held exploratory talks this month and are contemplating whether to take them further. Both companies have declined to comment, but CSX Chief Executive Michael Ward said on Wednesday that more big U.S. rail mergers could hurt service.
Harrison, 69, the former CEO of Canadian National Railway , has touted the value of consolidation for years. He says creation of a new transcontinental railroad could improve congestion around Chicago, where east- and west-based railways meet and hand off cargo, a process that can take days.
"There is a point, and we are approaching that point right now in Chicago during winter, when you can't handle all the business. Now what are we going to do in 10 years?" Harrison said at a CP investor event on Oct. 1.
"Do we wait to get in solid gridlock and then address it?"
Harrison has spent his career preaching the benefits of tightly scheduled systems at railways across North America, first at Illinois Central, then at CN, and now at CP. A deal with CSX would add scale to the dream.
The man who hosts "Hunter camps" to personally train workers has never been shy about making sure his script is followed. At CN, a screen installed in his office let him monitor every train in the network, and he was known for calling workers directly to ask why a train was not moving. Continued...

Ok, I caught it.
The fix for this one is included in [308], which has not been included in the 2.4.3. I was able to isolate the necessary code for the fix and merged it to the version branch with [377]. Fortunately, I was able to do that, with some intuition, otherwise we would be forced to include [308] in the 2.4.3, which would delay the release for testing.

Hey My Luvlies.
I am 5 ft 6 and 157 pounds. I've had one child and was lucky enough to return to my pre pregnancy body fairly quickly. I would like aggressive lipo to my
•Inner thighs, arms and chin
•Upper and lower back
•Love handles and
•Grafting to my buttocks and hips.
Specifically, I am wanting lots of projection and wider hips. The side of my butt has dents and I am wanting these to be filled.
At present, I am not at my ideal weight and I really want to get to 140 pounds. I know I won't have as much fat for transfer if I do this but I hate my face being full more than having a flat butt. With clean eating and exercise i can easily get to 140, however, I will still have a little tummy going on and my thighs have always been thick but at least I will be happy with my face. I can only afford one shot at this to get it right (hopefully) : ) I don't want to gain weight before surgery or be big and have to lose it all after and become paranoid about losing my butt- if anybody gets what I mean.
Anyway, I got my bloodwork done at my doctors on Friday and hopefully will have my results by Wednesday the latest.....if everything is sound, I will send my deposit to Yily straight away and book my flights. I am doing my bloods before I pay a penny as I've had a few minor medical problems in the past and just want to err on the side of caution. I am hoping for date in the last week of March or first week of April....... That's all for now. Xx

[MLS] The rich got richer over the weekend, with the teams on winning streaks continuing to win and the struggling teams unable to reverse the momentum. Here
are six observations from those 450 minutes, plus stoppage time.
WHY PICK ON FREDDIE? After enduring another frustrating 90 minutes of numerous chances and no goals that sent a rabid home crowd home disappointed, Seattle coach Sigi Schmid tore into attacker Freddie Ljungberg for complaining too much about fouls and rough play.
Since he came to MLS, Ljungberg hasn't been shy about criticizing MLS officials, who he believes are far too reluctant to punish kicks aimed at ankles and knees. And he does give them a lot of stick, often while on his butt waving his arms while play continues. Perhaps Schmid believes that whining distracts the Sounders from the job at hand, but in a 1-0 loss to San Jose Saturday Ljungberg scythed through the opposition. One crafty run took him past two defenders to the left byline, where he cut back a ball that produced only a weak shot on goal.
Schmid also brought on young Miguel Montano and veteran Pat Noonan as subs to no avail, despite an incredible 18-3 edge in shots. Sometimes the ball just won't go in the net, and that's what's happened to Seattle in its last two home games.
OUTSHOT AS WELL. Kansas City carried most of the play against Columbus Sunday, yet came out on the short end by the same 1-0 score. Keeper Will Hesmer, who's been bothered by a bad back, wasn't really tested despite the Wizards piling up an 18-7 edge in shots. Central defenders Andy Iro and Eric Brunner were careful enough to mark closely but not over-commit when confronted by dribbles and shots.
After winning their first two games of the season, Kansas City has failed to win in the last six. The Crew survived another shot off the post; a week earlier, of course, New York hit the woodwork three times in a 3-1 loss. Luck is part of the game, but scoring four goals in two road games spaced just two days apart is also a good way to pick up points.
CHIVAS CHOKE. A spectacular equalizer by substitute Justin Braun should have been rewarded with at least a point against Real Salt Lake; instead, Chivas USA surrendered an 89th minute goal to Fabian Espindola when he latched onto a pass and raced behind the back line to drill a low shot into the net for a 2-1 win.
It's getting tiresome for Chivas USA fans to keep hearing this, but which of the two 2005 expansion teams is on the right track? RSL won MLS Cup last year and is moving back up the standings after a rocky start; Chivas USA is at the bottom of a very competitive Western Conference. It lost 1-0 in Columbus a week ago when Braun committed a foul in the penalty area to provide the Crew with a penalty kick, and gave up another late goal to RSL to throw away another two points.
D.C. DOWNER. United looked listless from the kickoff against Houston, and fell behind in the 10th minute on a goal by Danny Cruz, who was making his first MLS start. D.C. United failed to score against keeper Tally Hall, who was starting his first MLS game.
Except for a brief flurry midway through the first half, D.C. United seldom looked capable of either scoring a goal or stopping the Dynamo, which missed a few good opportunities yet still notched a second goal through Dominic Oduro. A summer overhaul, even if one can be implemented, may be too late, but at this point D.C. United doesn't seem good enough to compete, much less win.
RENTERIA REDUX. In both of the Crew's road wins last week, Emilio Renteria scored after coming on as a sub. Against the Red Bulls he pounced on a mixup between Tim Ream and Mike Petke to collect long ball that eluded both of them, then neatly rounded keeper Bouna Coundoul to stroke the ball home. In the Kansas City game, five minutes after replacing Emmanuel Ekpo, Renteria got his head to a Guillermo Barros Schelotto corner kick to direct a glancing header past keeper Jimmy Nielsen.
Renteria started his move from in front of the goalkeeper and, unmarked, simply ran toward the ball to get his head on it, thus exploiting the narrow field at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Barros Schelotto hit a low, line-drive corner to the near post and none of the Wizards could react in time. On a tight field, defending a corner kick normally requires a player on the near side of the goal area to cut off just the kind of ball Schelotto delivered.
AND FINALLY, WONDO. With his fifth goal in six games, Chris Wondolowski got the Quakes all they needed to win again as they posted a fourth straight shutout.
On this one, though, he might have been a tad offside, as defender Bobby Burling flicked a deflected cross to him at the far post. Still, he took the chance cleanly, rifling home a shot on a short bounce that would have befuddled more than a few MLS forwards, even though he struck the ball a few yards from goal.
San Jose has some depth at forward this year, with Ryan Johnson the regular starter and Trinidad & Tobago internationals Cornell Glen and Scott Sealy, along with Brazilian Eduardo, among the candidates. Right now, though, the guy from Chico State has the edge

BERLIN (Reuters) - Tom Cruise has defied expectations and won favorable reviews from German critics for his portrayal of a Prussian army officer who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944 in the Hollywood film "Valkyrie."
German reviewers who were initially highly suspicious have warmed to the film, describing it as a serious work, and Cruise has overcome unease about his suitability for the role.
"'Valkyrie' is neither scandalously bad nor the event of the century. Neither is it the action thriller we feared, but it is a well-made and serious film," said public broadcaster ZDF.
"Cruise plays his part decisively, coolly -- a solid performance, though he won't have a sniff at an Oscar."
The Hollywood actor plays Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg, who planted a briefcase bomb under a table at Hitler's military headquarters in eastern Prussia on July 20, 1944. The heavy wooden table saved Hitler, who suffered only minor injuries.
Stauffenberg was executed the same night with his co-conspirators and his legacy helps ease the burden of guilt about World War Two and the Holocaust Germans still endure.
Initially, Germans baulked at the prospect of Cruise, star of blockbusters such as "Top Gun," playing Stauffenberg. Stauffenberg's son even called on Cruise to "keep his hands off my father" and go home. Continued...

How do I remove this radiator?
Hi all,
With apologies for my newbieness...
I have just converted my home from boiler heat to forced air. My next mission is to remove the (exposed) piping in the basement, and to remove all six cast iron radiators littered across my main and second (top) floor.
I'm really unsure how to proceed. I have a 12" vise grip, and a Sawzall with good new blades. No idea if that will get me where I'm going.
Not sure if this is kosher, but I've made a video of one of the radiators:
I've tried heaving and hauling on various pieces of that bottom-left section, but almost nothing is budging... only a single nut that seems unrelated to floor fastening.
I don't care about these radiators. Some scrap metal $$$ would be nice, but mostly I want them out.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate the help!

Crisis Chic: Bangkok blog takes a humorous look at the city's floods
A new blog is using a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor to lighten the heavy atmosphere hanging over Bangkok as the city continues to battle rising waters in some areas.
Dubbed Crisis Chic, the Tumblr blog says "style shouldn't go out the window, just 'cause water's coming in."
Started by two British (Gaby Doman, Becky Wicks) and two U.S. expatriates (Brock Kuhlman, Joshua Johnson), Crisis Chic features humorous photos and captions of them in stylish outfits hanging around flood-hit areas -- often wearing snorkel gear.
The captions offer readers some "valuable" fashion tips.
More on CNNGo: Updated flood info for tourists
But Doman is quick to point out that they certainly don't want to appear to be making light of what for many is a very serious predicament.
They wanted to do something that allows people a bit of relief. Like many, they too have been affected by the floods.
"The night we thought of the idea, a group of us had arranged some 'let's not talk about the flood' drinks at Sky Train Jazz Bar," says Doman.
"I put on my jeans and a delicate sequined top, then got caught in a horrendous storm at Victory Monument. The electricity went out for about three hours. I arrived soaking wet. My friends were laughing about how 'bold' my fashion choice was in a flood crisis and the idea stemmed from that."
Doman says so far the feedback has all been very positive, both in Bangkok and elsewhere.
"We've been putting it out on Twitter and getting a lot of retweets. I think everyone needs a bit of relief from the stress of the news and their twitter feeds," she says.
"I live in a house near Samsen, so every day has been a little tense. My house hasn't flooded so far, but several of my friends have been forced to evacuate their homes and some have lost their jobs and had to leave Bangkok."

Game Recaps
Karstens Solid Spring in Bucs Loss to Rays
Game Recaps
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Right-hander Jeff Karstens made another case for being the Bucs Opening Day starter on April 5th at PNC Park in the Pirates 2-1 loss against the Tampa Bay Rays at McKechnie Field. On Saturday, Karstens allowed one run on three hits over five innings with three walks and five strikeouts in his second official Grapefruit League start this spring.
Although the Pirates have been mum on who they will give the Opening Day nod to, Karstens is a candidate for the job.
'We're going to continue to evaluate," Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle said. "Jeff has done a real good job. [Pitching Coach] Ray [Searage] and I were talking before the game. 2010 he was just about every trip to pitch backup innings. The emergence he did in '11, and what he's done this spring to carry it over t...

text: In last night's game, the bench played 26% of the available minutes and the starters played 74%. There was never a time when we didn't have at least 2 starters on the court. It was the shortest rotation of the year for our team I believe. If you are wondering what is wrong with this team and you're focusing on the bench over the performance of our starting SF, I don't know what to say. It's one of the most glaring problems that I can remember seeing with a Pistons team. In terms of Win Shares per minute (of players with over 300 min):DrummondMonroeSinglerStuckeyJenningsPopeBynumSmithIt's a combination of Smith being a moron with his shot selection and Cheeks refusing to try something new. He's getting killed on both ends of the floor, other than a small handful of games. 60% of Smith's shots are jump shots and he's shooting .281 on them. The team has disappointed every prognosticator, even us grizzled insiders. The criticism of the Smith pickup was that we were going to have a logjam and that he shouldn't play the perimeter. Cheeks has seen it play out and we're halfway through the season as our performance is getting worse over time. Jennings' shot is nasty too, but he's like Steve Kerr in comparison.

Turkey Mountain is a popular place to hike, walk, or ride a bike. Thousands of people go there every year but I wonder how many have stopped to think about the science that's all around them.
Dr. Stanley Rice recently gave me a personal science tour of Turkey Mountain. He showed me tree fossils and explained that Turkey Mountain is the only place in Oklahoma where a certain oak tree grows. This just shows that science is everywhere. It's also why you'll often find me checking out rocks, I'm looking for fossils and evidence of ancient Earth.
This is important-If you find fossils on Turkey Mountain please do not remove them.

About MeI am a young and inspired fashion designer who is currently inexperienced but in the process of furthering an already well developed portfolio. I have participated in an early college program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago that consisted of a fashion design session and a fashion construction session. I am currently taking a fashion construction class through a career center and my high school which am attending my third year at. I have sewn since I was a little girl and am well taught. Though I am young I have still gotten commissions for important pieces such as wedding, homecoming, and special event clothing. I have had the beginning of an Avant garde education at SAIC and I like to remain at a sweet spot between those aspects and ready to wear.

Hello everyone.
I've been modeling for almost a year and just started getting into character modeling. I want to take a new approach and model chibi characters or if others know the look almost as Nendoroids. I truly would love some help if anyone could guide me towards how I could achieve this. I feel like I'm having a mental block to understanding to create the character without having bad polys and form when rigging. I'm looking at using these characters I develop for a little game I'm working on.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I use 3DS Max 2013 (roughly a year) & Mudbox 2012 (roughly 2 weeks, I have a drawing tablet)

Evolution is wrong
Posted in the Top Stories Forum
#1 Mar 1, 2007
Evolution can be proven false with a few words. DNA cannot change.Its a scientific fact.
#2 Mar 1, 2007
Prove it!
Since: Feb 07
United States
#3 Mar 1, 2007
Well, yeah, evolutionism is simply a pagan religion. Indeed, even when we breed dogs for different jobs, they are weaker, in terms of survival, as compared to a silly mutt.
Mutation, when it occurs, is ALWAYS WEAKER, producing early death. Evolutionism creates the fiction that mutation sometimes creates a stronger line. This never happens.
The planet is dying, and it's not because of what we are doing, but because of what Adam and Eve did when they chose to follow Satan. Satan is the father of death; evolutionism is another one of his Orwellianisms.

You obviously don't have a clue about how DNA and genetic expression works.

I'm not so sure you're right about myself, but I suspect that the generations before Noah had the mind power of a lap top computer.

Isn't there more proof FOR evolution than creation? Religion was created by humans, science proves or disproves what lies around us. There is no proof for creation,... is there?

Wow, you just bent over and just took it.
The generations before Noah had the "mind power" of a sperm. Pour some water over lap top by the way. Helps to keep the non-scientific off the web :)

Saying humans evolved from apes is like saying a computer evolved from a calculator.

#13 Mar 7, 2007
Well, no actually, not at all. Though saying you understand biology is like saying a newborn understands quantum physics.
#14 Mar 7, 2007
Ok then let me use another scenario. A computer when it was first created was not so great. Then over the years they got better till now and will probably get even better. Without useing any quantum physics I can figure that many people had to use thier thought and energy to create it and make it better. I think God used his thought and energy to make all creatures including the apes and I think he created us uniquely. All the cool creatures out there prove God is very smart and powerful. I feel I would be insulting God by believing that I evolved rather that came about by his unique design skills. That is my opinion and I didn't have to insult you to get it across. And you don't need to respond because all your knowledge will never convince me otherwise. Especially how your coming off like that, I just don't want to hear it.
Since: Dec 06
#15 Mar 7, 2007
My statement stands true, whether you want ot hear it or not. You keep saying things that make it obvious you don't understand evolutionary theory and have at best a very basic understanding of biology. You can have an opinion, but it can be wrong. If you don't like the facts, it doesn't stop them from being facts. Evolution is a fact. There is more evidence for evolution than for most things you accept as truth on a daily basis. That does not mean there is no god, but it does mean that anything in your belief that is contrary to evolution is wrong.

Nonsense! The DNA strand can be altered or broken by a single gamma ray.
#17 Mar 7, 2007
Mutations are changes to the base pair sequence of genetic material (either DNA or RNA). Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, chemical mutagens, or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation. In multicellular organisms, mutations can be subdivided into germline mutations, which can be passed on to descendants, and somatic mutations.

Still coming off kinda pompous. I believe some things evolve but not us from apes. Whats your belief system concerning God? I only want your opinion not your attitude.

ya know it is precisely the commitment to an exacting "god's creation" that is the jewish religion. it is the old testament in it fervency utmost. it is the jewish religion that has named and set forth the standard for a non-evolution universe, as that all the rules of the old testament are the means and methods of identifying yourself to a stranger as one who will not impose upon another a false image of the universe. all that measuring of the sacrifices, all the wheat and goats and all that deutoronomy is because all the messages of the earth pass through the holy land in its purest form, being where it is between africa, europe. and asia in its way. but we here know that there is another world- a world of bison and pronghorn, of tomatos, of all the miracles of this world, and therefore it isnt even that important whether or not evolution exists, but to remember that jesus said obey the laws of the hebrews- and lol, if we do that ??? but evolution does exist and if we dont sometime or other develop a culture that loves what we have and appreciate our opportunity to do what is right in the natural world, the world that we will have created ofr ourselves will be one that is adamantly opposed to the will of god- which is one that serves man in his best form-which feeds and clothes us and offers us miracles in our lives- all for the sake of god as we are created in his image ( though we evolved through time and space to get to that spot)

There was no attitude, other than frustration that you are willing to waive away science without understanding it. Presenting facts isn't "pompous". How would you react if someone told you that the earth is the center of the universe, is flat, disease is caused by demons, etc.? I'd imagine you'd scoff at the idea, because they are KNOWN to be false. What you "believe" is irrelevant to what is real and factual. Evolution is a fact, regardless of who likes it or doesn't. The evidence is overwhelming, regardless of who wants to accept it or not. As for my belief system concerning a god, I'm agnostic. There may be one, there may not. If there is one, he/she/it set up the universe in a way that allowed evolution to happen, but regardless, it happened. What I certainly don't believe in is religion, as I don't think anyone has a clue what they are talking about or who or what this god would be. Christianity is no more valid than Islam, Wicca, Buddhism, animism, Shinto, etc.

51' chevy pickup truck seat question
Does anyone know what a stock bench seat for the 51 is worth or where I can find that out?
Not much unless you are trying to buy one. I've got a nice spare one that I took to a swap meet and didn't get an offer on. Any offer would have taken it to a new home.
If the truck has a stock height cab the stock seat when redone right is the most comfortable one you can have in there though. It might not have the "Bubba" factor that a newer seat has but your butt and back will like it a lot better than most of the replacements that guys stick in these trucks.
"Not much unless you are trying to buy one." LOL isn't that the truth!

Finding Beauty in the Search for Dark Matter
Right now, one of the biggest races in science is the search for dark matter. "It's really very very scary to know that after all these years of civilization we still don't know 95% of our universe," says experimental physicist Elena Aprile. "It makes you feel very small." Aprile heads a research team at Columbia University trying to get one step closer to finding it.
Her detectors are stainless steel cylinders that are filled with liquid xenon gas cooled to about -150° F. When the working model is buried in a mile-deep chamber, she hopes to catch a glimpse of dark matter in that highly controlled environment. But the detectors are more than just equipment for Aprile; she's passionate about their aesthetics, snapping photos of the detectors when the light hits just so.
"Maybe it's pretentious but it is a work of art. It is feeling so powerful in a sense, because it came all from your hands. I do feel sometime like a Michelangelo." Her less romantic, less Italian colleagues compare the detectors' profile to other shiny objects, like a robot, or a spaceship, or most unfortunately, a trash can.
Aprile's concern with design may have to do with the fact that its functionality is not a given. Since scientists don't know what dark matter looks like, they can only guess at the best way to see it. "Unfortunately in this business we don't really know we are following the right path," says Aprile. "Some time I get depressed, but there's no time to get depressed now. I don't think I will ever give up. Because there is no other way."

1. Sorry TP people, but Jesus fed the poor, he didn't cut taxes.
2. Michele Bachmann has migraine headaches, heck, when she talks, I get a splitting headache.
3. I do not understand wearing jeans on a hot day in August.
4. Think ahead to ensure you will not be left behind.
5. In life, one sees what one wants to see.
6. If Jesus was alive today, he would be deported as an illegal immigrant or told his lack of money is due to his laziness.
7. We need a revolution in thinking.
8. My slogan: tax the wealthy until they bleed dollars.

I was in Manchester last night, on an intensely private matter. Oh, all right, I was at a football match. Anyway, I was staying at the city centre hotel where I am a regular visitor. In the relatively short time I have patronised this establishment, it has changed names – and, I assume, ownership – three times, and in its latest incarnation it went from a hotel with a short, memorable name – just four letters – to one with a cumbersome, Americanised moniker – three words, 18 letters.
But no matter. It is clean, efficient, friendly and good value. There is nothing special about it, apart from the fact that, in my experience, British hotels are generally found wanting in at least one of those four categories. And that's before we even talk about the overheated rooms with windows that don't open, key cards that don't work properly (sorry to be a parody of a grumpy old man, but how I long for the days when you'd check in to a hotel and be given a key that was actually a key), staff who don't understand the meaning of service, and a dining room where everyone talks in a conspiratorial whisper.
It is a truism that comedy works best when it is rooted in reality, so the success of Fawlty Towers was in some part due to the fact that we had all had experience of similar establishments. The truth is, I think, that the British are not very good at the service industry. Servility doesn't come naturally to us.
Compare the way, in America for instance, you are treated at anywhere from a hotel or restaurant to a dry cleaners. My favourite story of the British service industry happened early one morning at Gatwick airport. I was having a cup of tea in one of the terminal's restaurants and I heard raised voices from the serving counter. I looked up to see one of the staff with his arms round a customer's neck, dragging him across the counter. "If you do that once more," he yelled, "I'll [expletive deleted] kill you, you [two expletives deleted]." The customer skulked off, and when I went to pay my bill, I noticed that the member of staff was wearing a badge. It read: "My name is Michael. I'm here to help you."
I remember a conversation several years ago with Tessa Jowell, then a Cabinet minister who had responsibility for tourism, telling me at a Labour Party conference that she'd just had a deputation from British hoteliers wanting government help. She said they might have had a more sympathetic hearing if she hadn't been paying an extortionate amount for a tiny room at a hotel where she was unable to order a cup of tea on room service.
It does make me wonder what visitors who come for the Olympics will make of it. The overcharging, the inefficiency, and the fact that many hotels seem to be run for the convenience of the staff. How many times I've heard that triumphant message, delivered with unfailing good cheer: "Sorry, the kitchen is closed for the evening." Whatever else, don't expect Team GB to qualify for the final of the 100 metres hospitality.Follow @Simon_Kelner Reuse content

Fiscal Responsibility
The term fiscal responsibility is often bantered around, but usually not well defined. It can be narrowed down to not spending more than what you bring in. Just as families and individuals need to balance their budgets, so must we as a State. Balancing the State budget was so important to the founders of our state that they made it a requirement in our State Constitution.
Another large part of being fiscally responsible includes how we manage our resources. It includes eliminating waste and setting spending caps, again, living within our budget. It is not just saying "no" to spending, but involves the complicated task of evaluating and assessing needs, setting priorities, and appropriating funding to achieve those priorities and to meet those needs. That is why we need to have legislators who are committed and focused on balancing our budget, not just putting band-aids on old problems. We need to rein in spending, cut waste and work at ways to increase our income without raising taxes.
Improved Business Climate
Many people move to Arizona because of our climate. They know this is one of the greatest places in the country to live. Our business climate should be the same. We need to continue to work to create a business climate that will not only enable current businesses to grow and prosper, which will result in new jobs and an expanded economy, but will also draw corporations and entrepreneurs to Arizona. If we create the right climate new businesses will come. This will grow our economy and raise revenues for the State without raising taxes. We have seen much success in this during my previous terms in office and we must continue the work.
We have passed jobs bills and tax reform that is already working to strengthen the business climate in Arizona. We can see this with the number of jobs that have grown in Arizona, which has been attributed by experts as a result of the legislation we passed.
Strengthen Education
A strong educational system is not only important for a strong business climate, it's also important because our children are our future. Their personal value is more than can be measured with dollars and cents. Their success depends on the quality of education they get.
The two most important people in the education process are the student and the teacher. Both need to be fully supported to bring an effective learning environment. Because of that students and parents deserve to have the opportunity to choose what's best for them, whether that is in a public, private, charter school or home schooling.
I also believe teachers should be paid according to the quality of the job they are doing. Teachers who do an exceptional job should be rewarded with exceptional pay. In these hard economic times it is even more important for our educational dollars to be spent in a way that will support the teachers in the classroom and not just the bureaucracy of the school district.
