Hey Brian, I don't know if you remember, but I asked for your permission to translate your interview with Ed Stefanski into Chinese a while back. Here's the link: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Sixers/M.1201624656.A.65F.html
Man, it's gonna be 3am here in Taiwan when Game 1 tips off, and I got work tomorrow, but I'm gonna be watching it on web tv. I want this young Sixers team to forget about whatever people say about them, and to remember who they are and what they can do. Fight like they have in the regular season, and they'll be fine, even if they lose. If they win, though, it's gonna feel like that Finals Game 1 against the Lakers back in 2001. Go Sixers!
Thanks for a link, that's great. I hope you're up for the game, it's been too long since we've seen the Sixers play a game that really mattered, and a long road to get to this point this season. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.
Hey Brian, it's really all I've been looking forward to all day. I can't wait for the 6pm tip. I'll be sure to check out the live blog later, I'm sure it will be awesome.
The good teams this squad has beaten throughout the year gives the fans and the team extreme confidence. Everyone seems to be pumped like it's the finals. I admire you picking the Sixers. Some guys don't want to sound like idiots when the Pistons get a sweep.
I literally believe have as good as shot as anybody (except the Celtics) to knock them off. They have done it twice, at their style, in their gym. Those games are huge because Detroit knows they will have to fight and the Sixers won't be intimidated. This game has taken a completely different connotation than what it would have been if the Sixers would have squeezed into the 8th spot.
Thad is starting:
Obviously good news, though not the perfect solution. This is usually the type of team Mo would opt for Evans in the starting lineup against (two legit big men).
I hope we see Thad taking and hitting jumpers because that's going to unclog the middle for Iguodala, Miller and Lou off the dribble (maybe even Garbage Time).
It's about time they redesigned Narducci's blog too.
I mean I love my eagles, but I only picked them to win it all once. I still have nightmares centered around me yelling for Andy to play Michael Lewis instead of Blaine Bishop.
I will post my pick before tip I guess since I still don't know.
I totally think the Sixers have a better chance than any lower seed in the East. I hate Gilbert Arenas though and don't think I could ever really consider picking him to win a series against Lebron.
Anyone else see Gil chucking at the end of that game and losing the game for his team? Caron Butler wasn't even touching the ball. Disgraceful.
Just to point out Bill King on the NBA TV preview show picked Sixers in 6 as well, but other then that the sixers are getting no respect at all. I truly think they will suprise a lot of people, especially now that Thad is going to be starting.
Good ole Billy! I don't mind being on the same side as him in this one.
This will be just like last year's Pistons-Bulls series. And it's not true that everyone thinks we'd be lucky to win a game, most people are picking us to win a game or two. As am I. And who are the two future stars in our rotation? I see Iguodala (nice second/third scorer), Miller (good player, not a star), Young (future star), and..... Dalembert??
Iguodala and Miller played like stars this year. Thad is a future star, and Lou has a shot, depending on his development. Maybe a little hyperbole, but I'm pretty excited today, so you're going to have to give me some leeway.
He'll be very lucky if he ever gets to be as good as Monta Ellis. Miller, even this year, is a top 25 player in the league at best.
I'm hoping that Lou's development will be more as a point than a combo guard. But Ellis is still a good comp to hope for, talent-wise.
Isn't a top 25 player a star?
I don't think so. Maybe if you're top 20.
I just hope I will catch the game live somehow... tv or Tnternet...
I love Brian optimism and I hope my 4-1 Pistons prediction will be just as right as the 31 W prediction for the reg season turned out to be...

SanDisk on Monday said it plans to start selling the Sansa digital music player, mobile phone cards, and USB flash drives to people in Vietnam, citing a growing consumer class in the nation.
The company has teamed up with FPT Corp., a Vietnamese distributor, and Ingram Micro, of Santa Ana, Calif., to tap into Vietnam's market.
There are 23 million mobile phone users and 17.8 million Internet subscribers in Vietnam, SanDisk said, all potential consumers. The nation boasts a population of around 87 million people.
The Southeast Asian country has become a hotbed of investment for global IT makers in recent years.
Earlier this year, Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry, which assembles gadgets such as the iPod for Apple, the PlayStation 3 for Sony, and mobile phones for Nokia, announced plans to invest $5 billion over the next five years in Vietnam.
Last year, Intel announced it would expand a chip packaging and testing project in Vietnam into a $1 billion affair, more than triple the size of the original plan.

New Photoshoot
Ash's new wig and cargo pants arrived a couple days ago and I just now got around to snapping some new pics of him. The wig and the pants both came from Sunny's World. Overall it was a really good transaction and the pants are especially wonderful for the price. The wig is a really great color and matches Ash's face-up really well, but I was a little surprised to find that the wig is a little thin. I think since Ash kind of has a big head compared to other SD13 sized boys, that a fuller wig will be … Continue Reading →

Oh? Curious! I'm interested to know how and by whom. Tor is designed to
 resist many different kinds of compromises. We have multiple client
 implementations from different groups, servers are run by different
 parties (and not by the Tor project itself) and so on.

Yeah, I was really surprised when I heard this one.Ā I asked around after any corroboration or explanation to this assertion, but couldn't find any.Ā I also told my Iranian friends to challenge it as well if they heard it.Ā So far, nothing.

 > - People are being advised to set up secure proxies all using the same key

It's probably obvious that this is a disaster. Can you show me who's
 doing that? I'm more than happy to be the voice of reason.

Once again, floating in the realm of rumor.Ā I was pointed at a website that included configuration which I didn't bookmark.

 It's not really possible to do this with Tor and so it's probably some
 kind of SSL proxy thing, right?

Yes, most of strange things being advocated are total nonsense. Is there
 anything in particular worth ripping apart?

There's a lot on this board that was being promoted by an Iranian friend:Ā http://iran.whyweprotest.net/index.php#IranElectionĀ It's an interesting mix.Ā
 Ā

I'd probably personally be more active in this if I had more experience in security/anonymity or someone with more experience was taking a lead.Ā I fear that with as little as I know, I'd not be any better than others who are a concern.Ā After all, to me, privacy is a family value.

As the United States awaits the Supreme Court's forthcoming decision on the "marriage question" — whether the Constitution can require states to allow same-sex marriages — another once-banned form of marriage marks it 48th anniversary of being legal throughout the country.
The appropriately named Loving Day — celebrated on June 12 — commemorates the 1967 Supreme Court case in which the justices struck down laws that prohibited interracial marriage. Loving v. Virginia was named after plaintiffs Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving — who were Black and White, respectively — and who married in 1958 in Washington, D.C., only to be accused of breaking their home state of Virginia's "unlawful cohabitation" law that barred interracial couples from living together when they returned home.
The two were jailed for the offense, according to the ACLU.
The law criminalized rather than acknowledged "that two people have the right to be together and that their relationship was just as valuable as anyone else's," says Ken Tanabe, founder of the Loving Day Project.
And the court agreed. An ensuing legal battle resulted in the high court dismantling the law in Virginia and 15 other states that had them on their books at the time — guaranteeing that race would not be a legal factor preventing consenting adults from getting married in the U.S.
From Legal Action to Interaction
Fast forward a few decades and the court's overturning of the laws is now marked as an unofficial holiday, visible each June throughout the country and beyond thanks to the Loving Day Project. Originally a graduate school thesis project by Tanabe to educate people in New York City about the Loving case, it has grown in its 12th year to more than 25 affiliated, volunteer-powered events around the globe, including the Mixed Remixed Festival in Los Angeles, a trip to Six Flags in the Atlanta area, and meetups abroad in Paris, Japan, Amsterdam, Taipei and the UK.
"Loving Day [is] so important because it doesn't just work on educating people about what's happened and the history involved, but it's also about getting people to think and feel differently about themselves and others around them in the world," Tanabe says. This "hearts and minds" approach piggybacks the existing law to change attitudes, he adds, noting that in 1958, when the Lovings married, only 4 percent of the U.S. approved of interracial marriages and, in 1967, that number had grown to 20 percent.
That tally stands at 87 percent today.
The figure is personified at New York's flagship celebration, which in the past has brought together as many as 1,500 people who identify as biracial or multiracial, are in interracial relationships, are transracially adopted, or are the friends and family of someone who may fit any of those demographics within the "multiethnic community." While a DJ spins tunes, families of various hues dance, dine and mingle with other attendees, and experience one of the few public safe spaces where they don't face curious stares or intrusive inquiries such as the cringe-worthy "What are you?"
"The atmosphere at Loving Day wasn't necessarily part of the original plan," Tanabe says. [I] definitely liked the idea of building community … but the feeling you get when you're in that space is so positive, so welcoming … I think of it as, 'You don't know what you're missing until you find it.'"
Acceptance in Numbers
For many people, Loving Day is the first time they've been completely surrounded by people who share their experience as an interracial couple, or a multiracial or multiethnic person — which occasionally can be a lot for them to absorb.
"Someone came up to me [at last year's flagship celebration] and said, 'Hey, my best friends just got engaged, could you give them a shoutout?'" Tanabe says. "We asked the DJ to turn the music down, and we brought them onto the stage and asked them what their names were, and said, 'Hey, everybody, just so you know, these two just got engaged.'"
While Tanabe expected a supportive response from those in attendance, no one was prepared for what followed.
"People clapped and cheered, and the couple up there was very happy, but the clapping and cheering went on for so long that after a while they didn't really know what to do anymore — they were totally overwhelmed, there might have been tears," he says.
"They were just so happy and it made me realize this is not the typical reaction. Even today if you're an interracial couple ... people don't clap for you. You hope they don't give you dirty looks and that they treat you normally. [For] a lot of people, it's the first time they've gotten that response and I really believe in creating that atmosphere." What's more, Tanabe says that a number of mixed-race couple have also chosen to make Loving Day their wedding day.
The Work Ahead
Tanabe and the many volunteers involved in the Loving Day events work hard to make sure the annual gatherings offer that level of comfort and welcome others to the "open house" of the multiethnic community. And there's even more to celebrate this year, with the announcement of the forthcoming film, called Loving, set for a 2016 release and telling the tale of the Lovings, and the new book Loving Day, penned by author Mat Johnson, which satirically tackles the topic of race. (Tanabe also holds out hope that President Obama will officially declare Loving Day a federal holiday before he leaves office.)
But one thing the group welcomes is the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, whose collective battle for same-sex marriage rights parallels and has borrowed tactics from the Loving v. Virginia case, specifically the ideas of the freedom to marry and equal protection for those marriages.
Same-sex marriage entered the Supreme Court with two advantages over interracial marriage, according to the Washington Post, specifically that gay marriage is legal in more states than interracial marriage was ahead of Loving, and the practice also enjoys a higher public approval rating. And the battle for gay marriage has been going full-steam ahead since the early 2000s, with many predicting a victory for its combatants.
"I used to guess how long it would take for same-sex marriage to become legal nationwide," Tanabe says of comparing the momentum of the two matrimonies. "The barometer I looked at for the peak of laws against interracial marriage and the time from [those] until Loving … it took almost 70 years for it to get reversed."

Berks/Bucks & Oxon Premier.
Thatcham 36, Stow-on-the-Wold 24.
THATCHAM secured promotion but they were given a battle in the second half by a young Stow side, who travelled with just 17 players.
The home side got off to a flier, with Stow struggling to cope in the set piece and missing tackles all over the field.
Within 15 minutes Stow were already 19 points down, having leaked two converted and one unconverted tries.
Stow's only real threat came from full back James Holmes.
Thatcham finished the half in style with two more unconverted tries to give them a solid 29-0 lead at the break.
The second half started as the first finished with Thatcham scoring from the restart when the Stow defence went to sleep.
A stern rally call was needed and Stow woke up to dominate the remaining 35 minutes.
A quickly taken penalty resulted in Holmes getting Stow off the mark. Then, after several phases, Craig Chapman sprinted over with George Roddan converting.
Stow now had their tails up and should have scored again when a three-on-one was wasted, but this was made up for when Chapman scored his second after a penalty; Roddan again converted.
With only a few minutes left, Holmes intercepted a pass in his own half and sprinted in for his second try and Stow's bonus point.
Stow will rue their poor first half display but a very young side performed very well in the second period.

SIB, Nutella is good in hot chocolate, that is my favorite application of it. For me the Biscoff cookie spread is like crack. It's super sweet, but my word I love it. The Trader Joe's cookie butter is good, but it has little crunchy pieces of cookie in it that hurt my stupid too sensitive teeth.
This is your sweet spreads informational segment for today.

Raw Footage
While Devon (Robert Cuthill) is using his cross-country family visit as the subject for an amateur documentary, his girlfriend, Monica (Jennifer Siebel), is using it as an opportunity to persuade him to marry her. Little does she know that her hopes and dreams are no match for the dysfunctional reality that is Devon's family. Barbara Goodson turns in a memorable performance as Devon's unbearable mother, Judith.

For the eighth consecutive year, Francis Marion University and the Internal Revenue Service have united to provide free tax return preparation services to all area residents, FMU students, faculty and staff.
Each Wednesday night from Jan. 29 – April 9, community members who want tax assistance can receive it from FMU Tax II students in the School of Business computer lab located in Founders Hall room 259C, through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Tax return preparation services will be provided on Wednesdays from 5 to 9 p.m.
Last year, student volunteers served some 300 residents. As required by the VITA program, the students are trained and certified with classes in individual taxation, says Dr. Brad Johnson, FMU School of Business tax professor who supervises the group.
"We're competent, certified, well-trained volunteers who are eager to assist the residents of the Pee Dee and the FMU community at large," says Johnson who has worked as a tax professor for more than 30 years.
Johnson joined the Francis Marion faculty in 2003. He teaches tax and financial accounting, the legal environment of business, and financial accounting theory and practice. He earned the Ph.D. in business administration from the University of Houston, the J.D. at Northwestern School of Law at Lewis Clark College in Portland, Ore. and the M.B.T. in taxation from the University of Southern California.
To aid in preparing the return, the VITA Tax Volunteer will need the following documents: Driver's License; Social Security Cards (or Military I.D. with social security number) for taxpayer, spouse and all dependents listed on the tax return; W-2s, and 1099s.
There are no income requirements. For more information about the service, contact Johnson at (843) 661-1427.

"The Vampire Diaries" on The CW

Episode 21 "The Sun Also Rises" (5/5/11 Air Date):
THE SACRIFICE RITUAL BEGINS — With the arrival of the full moon, Elena (Nina Dobrev) tries to prepare for whatever Klaus (guest star Joseph Morgan) has planned, and Tyler (Michael Trevino) faces his second transformation. The terrifying events quickly spin out of control, despite an unexpected act of courage. Finally Damon (Ian Somerhalder) admits the truth to Stefan (Paul Wesley) about a terrible new development they must face.
Steven R. McQueen, Sara Canning, Kat Graham, Candice Accola, Zach Roerig, and Matt Davis also star. Paul M. Sommers directed the episode written by Caroline Dries and Mike Daniels.

Followers of the @MirrorFootball Twitter account affectionately know Gareth Bale as the WORLD'S GREATEST.
Which means this clip could well feature the WORLD'S GREATEST funny noise.
Our friends at the Who Ate All the Pies blog first noticed the clip, posted on Tottenham's official video channel.
The genial banter is (unintentionally) amusing enough, but young Gareth's bizarre sign-off takes things to another level entirely.
Our man in the know says this is the noise Bale has devised for when he's merked someone. If you've got a better explanation, let us know below!

Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is a single-chain glycosylated polypeptide, which belongs to the IL-13/IL-4 family. IL-13 protein is secreted by many cell types, but especially by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. IL-13 exerts its effects through a multi-subunit receptor comprising the alpha chain of the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Rα) and at least one of two known IL-13-specific binding chains (IL-13 Rα1 and IL-13 Rα2). As a cytokine, IL-13 protein is critical in regulating inflammatory, immune responses and diseases. In addition, it inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and thus down-regulates macrophage activity. IL-13 protein and antibody is more importantly implicated as a central mediator of immunoregulatory processes in various cell types.

SEATTLE, WA — Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn sent a letter to the city's two chief pension funds on friday, formally requesting that they "refrain from future investments in fossil fuel companies and begin the process of divesting our pension portfolio from those companies."
There is a clear economic argument for divestment. While fossil fuel companies do generate a return on our investment, Seattle will suffer greater economic and financial losses from the impact of unchecked climate change. Our infrastructure, our businesses, and our communities would face greater risk of damages and losses due to turbulent weather that climate change causes. As a waterfront city, several of our neighborhoods and industrial districts are at risk if climate change causes a significant rise in sea level.
I believe that Seattle's pension funds should be invested in companies that can provide a good return on our investment without putting our city and our future at risk. I am ready to work with the City Council and the pension board to make this happen.
Mike McGinn
Mayor of Seattle

[15 September 2010]
Nashville's Bad Cop play a gritty, visceral brand of guitar rock, fully embracing the nervous energy of their under-21 male beings. This foursome may indeed be quite young, but they're already made the touring rounds several times, playing with bands like Jemina Pearl and, most appropriately, the Slits. The band is a classic power trio with all the vigor that term implies and they've all been honing their musical since about the age of 12, while soaking up a steady listening diet of MC5 and Joy Division. ROIR released their brand new album, Harvest the Beast just yesterday into a crowded week for new records and we've got the premiere today of the video for "Control".

Arts & Culture
Poetry in Motion (and Digestion)By Dan Piepenbring
A happy birthday to G. K. Chesterton, born today in 1874. Chesterton's 1908 novel, The Man Who Was Thursday, opens with a gem of a standoff between two rival poets. It's a pungent, vitriolic affair, the best poet-on-poet action this side of The Savage Detectives, and in celebration of its author I reprint it here at length.
To set the scene: say you're a hotshot poet at a garden party in Saffron Park, a suburb of London where your versification is known to be the best around. But wait—some other, new poet shows up, all cock-of-the-walk. Who's this asshole? The two of you get to exchanging words, only to find that your worldviews are not just incompatible but riven, sundered, wholly opposed.
On the side of the anarchic and chaotic, there's Mr. Lucian Gregory—"His dark red hair parted in the middle … and curved into the slow curls of a virgin in a pre-Raphaelite picture." And defending all things orderly and punctilious, there's Mr. Gabriel Syme, "a very mild-looking mortal, with a fair, pointed beard and faint, yellow hair." The passage below finds them expounding, ardently and hilariously, on their respective poetics. For my money, Gregory has the more compelling argument, but Syme is the more masterful rhetorician.

Power Shifts investigates claims that across the world power is moving: particularly from the US to China, from West to East, and from states to non-state actors.
Through multidisciplinary collaborations the project seeks to understand the basis of power in the international system, the context in which power operates, and how power may transition from one actor to another.
Why Power Shifts?
The project comes from power shifts emerging as a consistent theme in IDEAS regional research programmes. Across several of the former IDEAS regional programmes such as the Transatlantic Programme and the East Asia Programme, now IGA centres, the importance of changes in global power became clear.
This is reflected in IDEAS reports that explored Power Shifts including The United States after Unipolarity, After the Arab Spring: Power Shift in the Middle East?, Europe in an Asia Century and the rise of new powers such as Turkey's Global Strategy, China's Geoeconomic Strategy, and The New Geopolitics of Southeast Asia.
The project brings together the relevant research expertise of academics associated with IDEAS on the issue: including IDEAS Director Michael Cox, Nicholas Kitchen's work on structural power and the impact of power diffusion, and Danny Quah's theory of a global centre of economic power moving eastward.
Churchill 2015
As part of Power Shifts, IDEAS is taking part in Churchill 2015: a 21st century statesmanship programme that commemorates Churchill's legacy by identifying and analysing key strategic issues.
We are joining other leading academic organisations in convening eminent international panels to discuss a global-strategic theme and produce an analytical report.
Our strategic theme is 'Power in the 21st Century', looking at how power is shifting, diffusing and decaying in the modern world from 'smart power' to digital power.
Find out more.
Asia Rising Lecture Series
In 2014 Power Shifts hosted a series of public lectures on the questions raised by rising Asian powers.
Rising Asia: Lessons Learned From European Integration
Economic and political integration is high on the agenda in Asia, in ASEAN and more widely.
Professor Simon Hix (LSE Department of Government) discusses what can Asia learn from the process of integration in Europe: from the institutional design of the European single market, to the Euro crisis and how the Eurozone has tried to solve it?
An American Century or an Asian Century?
Will the future belong to the new rising powers of Asia revolving around a Chinese economic power-house or the transatlantic powers led by the United States?
John Ikenberry (Princeton University), Michael Cox (IDEAS Director) and Kirsten Schulze (IDEAS) discuss how the answer may be more complex.
Will China Dominate the 21st Century?
Jonathan Fenby (China Director, Trusted Sources), Wu Jian Min (Former Chinese Ambassador) and Isabel Hilton (Editor, China Dialogue and former BBC Radio 4 Presenter) assess China's future and put the country's progress into an international perspective.
US Foreign Policy Conference
In September 2014, leading thinkers descended on the LSE for the US Foreign Policy Conference, co-hosted by IDEAS and the LSE International Relations Department.
A key theme was whether shifts in economic power are eroding American hegemony; but the story of how power shifts turns out to be more complex than the rise and decline narrative of many contemporary pundits.
Hear speakers from the Conference share their perspective on the changing shape of power in the international system and the implications for US foreign policy in this video.

(little polish things like: the run icon being a person running instead of the "tape deck" play button everybody uses give it further feeling of being out of date; apparently i can't higlight a sub-section of code and "run" just that.) surely, as with most all uis, there are too many different kinds of people wanting to use it for it to be "obviously intuitive at first glance" to all of them. sounds like a lot of folks *are* in that good bucket audience after all, so i guess i have to envy them. sincerely.

Congressman Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico's Third District voted tonight for compromise legislation that will end the government shutdown, raise the debt ceiling so the government can pay its bills, and establishes a conference committee for the House and Senate to negotiate on a budget for the coming year.
"While I would have preferred legislation that extends the debt limit for a longer period of time and that funds the government at a higher level, this represents a compromise that will finally end the government shutdown that has hurt families in New Mexico and protect the full faith and credit of our nation by ensuring we do not default for the first time in history," Congressman Luján said.
Under the legislation, the shutdown will end and the government will be funded until January 15. The debt ceiling will be lifted until February 7. House and Senate negotiators will form a conference committee aimed at hammering out a compromise on a budget plan by December 13.
"This legislation, while not perfect, will ensure that New Mexico's national labs stay open, furloughed employees can get back on the job, and that services for the most vulnerable will no longer be delayed. It puts an end to the political games that have gone on too long," Luján added. "It is deeply disappointing that once again, manufactured crises have taken a toll on our economy and on the day-to-day lives of people in New Mexico who have had to go without a paycheck or the benefits they count on. For too long, the extreme elements of one party let the pursuit of ideological gains trump common sense. I am hopeful that we can move forward, having learned a lesson that holding the country hostage over government funding and the threat of default is reckless and irresponsible. It is now time to get to work on a budget that addresses the arbitrary cuts of the sequester and puts our country on a path forward that will grow our economy and lead to job creation."

It's a Circus Up There
Copper Mountain's 3 Ring Weekend is a three-day family-friendly event celebrating the mountain lifestyle — and to spokeswoman Erin Woods, that means "combining healthy physical activities and events with entertainment, music, science and an eco-friendly message about sustainability and the environment."
The festivities fire up today at 10 a.m. with Copper's Friday special: Drop $30 in local shops, bars or restaurants and get free tickets to try the quad bungee jump, climbing wall, bumper boards, go-karts, paddleboats, mini-golf and chairlift rides. Spin Cycle and DJ Laundry will take over the main stage in Burning Stones Plaza at 5 p.m., followed by a free screening of the film Hoot.
Main events take place over the weekend, with a 10K trail run on Saturday and the annual Copper Mountain half-marathon and 5K on Sunday. Kids can decorate their bikes, skateboards or roller skates at the Primp My Ride event on Saturday, just before the Kid-Powered Parade, then check out the Conscious Carnival, featuring hands-on activities, workshops, Walk On Water Bubbles, and circus-style performances by Cosmic Fire and others.
Most events are free; register online for the runs at www.copperhalf.com. For a full schedule, visit www.3ringweekend.com.

A truck, two cars and a bike...
The John Cooper Works Mini pictured here is one of my favourite driving machines. Though it has torque steer like nobody's business (even with the DSC switched one), it reminds me why I love cars.
That truck is one of the best in Malaysia now. Good engine, superb fuel economy and a comfy ride. the good looks is a bonus.
The Ferrari? Well, I got it only for four hours but it was enough (usually I get to test them for about 3-4 days). It is just like any other Ferrari, beautifully crafted, sexy, powerful and ultra expensive. 300km/h is reachable (if only you can find an empty stretch long enough) but you still can drive it around town. But its a bit big and wide though, so when the kapchais or Wiras try to weave in and out, you will feel your balls shrunk to the size of a raisin.
That bike? its a scooter actually. Elite Sports from Modenas. They flew me to their factory to have a test around their mini track. That picture is of one of the staff. A second after I took this pic, he high-sided the bike. Thank God for his helmet. As you can see, he was way too low and the scooter's engine cover touched the ground. Acting like a hinge, the rear wheel lose traction and away he flew...ouch!

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I am a little confused. Are you stopping your Wellbutrin or stopping your Paxil?
DEFINATELY going off the Paxil- was on Welbutrin years ago but then went off because we were trying to get pregnant. I now have (in addition to an 11year old daughter) a beautiful 22 month old girl & a 7 month old girl. My post-pardom was rough with the last so I discussed w/ my doctor and ended up (after trying Zoloft & then Celexa- both of which i have also been on in the past & did fine for a few years on each) going to the Welbutrin. I had never had an anxiety attack untill a few months ago but they were increasing so I asked my doctor & started the Paxil thing- taking both Welbutrin & Paxil for a good 3-4 weeks to start. I cannot stand the Paxil. My hands and jaw shake, I nearly nod-off at my desk- I am just done with it. If I take the Welbutrin also- how long to I have to 'wean' off the Paxil? I really don't like it!
Thank you
Gotcha now!
I rarely prescribe that one either due to the side effects. If you have not taken it for very long than you should find it easier to get off of as well.
I am assuming that you are also talking to your provider about weaning off the Paxil. That would be very important if you are not and are doing this on your own.
I usually have my patients wean off over 2-4 weeks, If you are already on the 10mg dose then you should be able to do it over 2 weeks. Some people need to go down to 5mg for a week also. It truly depends on how your body will react to weaning off of it. It really has nothing to do with the Wellbutrin since you were taking both at the same time anyway. ANother option after someone has went down to the 10mg dose for 1 week is to have them take it every other day for the following week.
Please be sure to discuss this with your provider as they know more of your medical history than I do.
Enjoy your babies!
They do work differently in the brain and some just cause more "withdrawals" than others.
Withdrawal symptoms can be nausea, shakiness, "cold sweats", faster heart rates and feeling of jitteriness. IF those were what you were experiencing than yes, it was most likely due to the Paxil.

6 Travel Safety Tips for Couples – Before You Travel
Note: We actually wrote these travel safety tips for couples before we heard about the tragic killing of the solo female traveller Sarai Sierra in Turkey last week. Our travel safety tips can be used for solo female travellers (and males) as well as travelling couples.
We get asked a lot of questions regarding travel safety tips for couples because we like stepping outside of our comfort zones. That is not to say that we put ourselves in harms way, we aren't that stupid. But we travel with open minds rather than being shrouded in fear.
6 travel safety tips for couples, before you travel
Don't listen to what others, mostly the media, have to say.The world is NOT dangerous or unsafe. While there are dangerous people and destinations, they are a really small percentage of the world.
You are probably more likely to get into trouble in your home country rather than from travelling.
Most of the unfortunate bad experiences that happen to travellers arise from them being stupid, drunk or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And it has happened to us. We think we travel smart and our experiences prove that. But we have also had our fair share of things go wrong while travelling.
A broken collarbone, internal bleeding, lost luggage and lost passports to name a few.
But after 3 years of travel we think that is pretty good. Especially since we have yet to have anything stolen (touch wood). By using a few simple travel safety tips, we have cut down our risks.
And minimising risks doesn't start when you begin travelling. Travel safety starts at home before you go.
By using our travel safety tips for couples, and solo travellers, you can minimse your own travel safety concerns.
Before you go: Travel Safety Tips for Couples
These are the travel safety tips you should implement before you actually leave home.
Travel Safety Tips: Do your research before you travel
The first thing you want to do is research the destination. You can quite easily find out from locals, not other tourists, the safest places in a city. Online there are local forums, websites and other travel blogs for every destination in the world.
Read it all and talk to your friends. But please don't discount somewhere just because of one persons bad experience. Use your own common-sense to decide if you really should go or not.
No two peoples travel adventures are ever the same.
Travel Safety Tips: Buy Travel Insurance that covers everything
So far our travel injury bills after 3+ years have totalled more than $105,000.
Adela broke her collarbone, I ruptured my appendix and had internal bleeding from a snowboarding accident. Luckily our comprehensive travel insurance meant that we were fully covered for the full amounts.
Take a moment to think about what you might get up to while travelling as not all travel insurance is the same. For example, some may include snow adventures and other extreme sports, while others won't. You can usually add on extras if you know what you what activities you might be doing.
We recommend you check out World Nomads Insurance who will cover most situations. Just be sure to read the fine print.
Travel Safety Tips: Leave your valuables behind
In most countries you should try and blend in and not advertise that you are a tourist. And more importantly, a wealthy tourist. You will likely stick out like a sore thumb anyway, but advertising it by wearing fancy jewellery or carrying an expensive camera around is best avoided.
Adela always leaves her jewellery at home but will usually end up buying something locally made. It supports them and ensures you won't get your nicest stuff stolen, or lost.
Depending upon where you travel, you may also want to consider leaving laptops and other expensive gear at home. If it is not feasible like us, as we travel with a lot of gear to keep this travel blog running, you can usually lock gear in your room safe or behind the check-in desk.
Much better than carrying it around all day too. You might also want to consider buying a "money belt" (examples here) that wrap around your waist underneath your shirt.
Travel Safety Tips: Get vaccinated
Vaccinations can be quite tricky to organise. We recommend visiting your doctor a few months before you travel to find out what you may need to get vaccinated for.
Some vaccinations/immunisations for certain destinations will actually require you to have several injections over the course of a few months. You may also need to prove to border control that you have been immunised when you travel.
Travel Safety Tips: Scan all your major documents
The final travel safety tip is to make sure you have a copy of all your travel documents. We used to carry around a folder with photocopies of our passports, relevant visas, travel insurance etc. As well as leave copies with our families.
Now we are able to just use Dropbox to store all our important travel documents online. Extra travel tip: We also use Dropbox for storing our photos online so that we won't ever lose them.
These online copies can then be used if we ever need to print off documents or in case we lose something important while travelling. Of course if you are trekking through remote areas it might be best to print them BEFORE you leave!
Travel Safety Tips: Notify your bank
While notifying your bank that you are going overseas won't stop your credit cards or money getting stolen. It may stop them (hopefully) from cancelling any cards that they suspect are being used fraudulently while you still have them.
Banks monitor suspected fraudulent use and will stop a card from working if they suspect it has been used in the wrong place. It should only take one phone call to reactivate it but letting them know your travel plans never hurts.
They can also provide advice on who to contact should your cards be stolen. Which means that you should keep a record of your credit card numbers and bank phone numbers if you need to cancel them. Just don't record the security numbers too!

Target: Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Wen Jiabao
Goal: Enforce ban on tiger part trade to protect tigers from mistreatment and extinction
Although China banned the trade in tiger parts in 1993, it is still relatively easy to purchase products such as tiger wine, tiger claws, tiger tail soup, and pills made from the animals' eyeballs, both at auctions and directly from producers. Tigers are either poached in Nepal or India or raised on a tiger farm in China where the abuses they suffer are endless. The tiger farms and parks that produce many of the tiger products are known for their gross mistreatment of their animals–tigers are whipped, forced to perform for the public, and purposely starved to death.
China is the largest market for tiger products, and tiger wine is a popular remedy of the middle class. It is believed that the wine will give the drinker the vitality and strength of the tiger, and a bottle will sell for around $230. Tiger skeletons are soaked in alcohol in order to make the wine–one skeleton will make about 30 bottles of wine. Other popular products include tiger skins, tiger claws, which are worn as amulets for courage and for good luck, tail soup–a cure for skin problems–and pills made from crushed eyeballs, which are believed to cure epilepsy.
The popularity of tiger parts has led Beijing to consider legalizing the trade in tiger parts–an action that would surely hasten the tiger's path to extinction. China has done relatively little to enforce its 20-year-old ban on tiger parts, and smugglers and farmers alike frequently kill the rare animals for a large profit. If the Chinese authorities continue to neglect this problem, the market for tiger parts will continue to threaten the livelihood of these endangered animals. Urge the Chinese government to step up its policies and protect the few remaining members of this beautiful species.
Dear Premier Jiabao,
China made a monumental decision for animal rights when it banned the sale of tiger parts in 1993. This ban was a commendable piece of legislation, possessing the capacity to protect an entire species and make China an important player in today's struggle for animal rights. However, this bill has hardly been enforced, and the trade in tiger parts is flourishing.
The legislation is already in place–now, to enforce it. China's efforts on behalf of the tiger will not go unrecognized; countries the world over will model their behavior to live up to this new standard. It is China's duty as one of the most powerful countries in the world to make a stand for the endangered tiger, and ensure that it survives for generations to come.
Enforcing the existing ban would have a lasting impact on animal rights, the environment, and the world. Please increase the measures being taken to protect the tigers, and ensure that future generations will still be able to see this incredible animal thriving in the wild.

When it comes to selecting potential designers to partner with on our collections, we're not ashamed to say here at Topshop we're a very fussy bunch. But when it came to picking a designer for this season's jewellery collaboration, there was a resounding cry declaring, "Jordan Askill!" The master jewellery craftsman has gone from strength to strength with a strong timeless aesthetic that us Topshop girls like to refer to as pure, unadulterated, eye-candy! Sculptural pendants, swallow cuffs, simple heart rings and delicate charm necklaces: Askill's hero pieces are forever winning us over. The Aussie-born designer honed his craft in Sydney before heading to Paris to work with designer Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme and finally took the giant leap and launched his eponymous collection in 2010.
Stars have rushed to wear Askill's gems, with the likes of Bond girl Naomie Harris, Twilight star Kristen Stewart and performance artist-cum-singer Patrick Wolf all been spotted in his hardware. It's time to believe the hype!
We stole five minutes with the busiest man in jewellery to talk about his new capsule collection for Topshop, his various talents and the importance of Fairtrade.
How does it feel to be collaborating with Topshop?
So great. I love being able to design for the Topshop customer. The Topshop team was so supportive of my ideas and of the way I like to work particularly when it came to attention to detail and quality.
We love the collection! Where did you find your inspiration?
I wanted to design classic, cute personal jewellery that could go with every look and feel. I wanted to add a sculptural elements to bring the jewellery into the next dimension. For this we looked at panthers, the idea of running away with these majestic creatures, reminiscent of ancient Egypt with a hand carved quality and connection with the past. Each piece is precious like a locket or detachable pendants that you can keep with you or pass on to your friends.
How did you get into jewellery design?
I was working in fashion in Paris and on my own sculpture projects. It then felt more real to me to create mini meaningful sculpture you could carry with you.
If you weren't a designer what do you think you'd be doing?
Studying biology and working with endangered species.
You're a man of many talents – creating short films and sculptures as well as your jewellery – what's your favourite aspect of your work?
I love combining static jewellery and sculpture with moving digital imagery. It creates something quite magical.
Your pieces are ethically sourced – is Fairtrade an important aspect of your brand philosophy?
Yes some of my pieces are and it is an important part of my brand. Trying to make people aware of where all the materials in my work come from and how they are sourced. We are still working on this element and hope it will keep developing.
Who are your favourite designers?
I love designers that develop detailed work like Azzedine Alaia, Michael Van der Ham, the Falize family and Faberge.
Do you have a muse?
I love to look at how my close friends would wear something as well as royal figures and icons like Elizabeth Taylor.
Can you reveal some top hangouts from your time spent in Paris?
We love going to Jardin des Plantes and the Natural History Museum, Port de Vanves, Cafe Marly and little cafes on Ile Saint Louis
Any London tips? Best shops, restaurants and bars?
I like going to Kxfs in Kings Cross and Birthdays in Dalston. The Wolseley and St James Park are always lovely.
What do you do to relax?
Lie on the grass and look up at the sky.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
In a lovely house with a large studio, expanding Jordan Askill sculpture and jewellery and work on related and ethical projects.
Shop Jordan Askill here and follow Askill Project on Twitter, here.

Well, the old Latin judicial tenet:"Coram iudice et in alto mare in manu dei soli sumus." (In court and on high sea, you are in God's hands alone), is very true, esp. for private ship owners whose vessels have been sailing in pirates-infested areas off the coast of Somalia heading toward the Red Sea and Suez Canal. The bosses of the ship cargo companies have been hoping for a satisfactory solution by the military for years, in vain. The international approach "Atalanta" is as successful as getting rid of flies with your bare hands.
So, the owners of large companies are taking this enforcement of their rights on High Sea in own hands, arming their merchant navy vessels with people savvy enough to take care of the pirates.
"Shoot first and ask later" is the new approach of theirs. What will the military navy ships do instead? In the Atalanta zone, they will board the speed boats and arrest the guys if possible, then they will shoot the pirates' boats to pieces. But, how to get rid of the pirates?
Well, nobody would really like to take them as prisoners. The Russians, well, really a laughing number, send them back to the Somali shoreline. The Dutch and Germans took "Somali pirates" to their respective courts, for them it's now first class living and, you bet, they wanna stay there after having served their terms - surely, claiming political asylum. LOL, if granted - but not impossible.
The ships' owners have been this pissed off about the "soft-egg" approach so that they have decided to take own responsibility and costs of protecting their vessels and assets they have as cargo.
Well, mercenaries will cost an awful lot of money but the pirates-terrorists should be aware that their lives are really at stake now, then in "Allah's hands" as well.
So, the terrorists should be well aware that the same approach "Coram iudice et in alto mare in manu dei soli sumus" will hit them.
Pirates on high seas jeopardize their lives by own will and actions.
If they were sent to "their" heaven it would matter much for the ship owners, and for us as well, "our" cargo is implicated too.
Well, we should be reminded of the "old wild wild west" days when they said "only a dead Indian is a good Indian".
A lot of business and ordinary people alike are very inclined to think about the same in terms of getting rid of this pirates' infestation.

"Ulalume" by Edgar Allan Poe is about a man who wishes to be with his dead lover, in Heaven. In an excerpt of the poem (from lines 42-82) the narrator speaks of mourning for a lost love, and wants to follow her to Heaven, or "the skies," as mentioned in line 4 (of the excerpt). But the Greek goddess Psyche, weeping implores him not to go. Poe tells the grieving goddess about the beauty of the night sky, and that surely "they" will make it to Heaven safely if they follow the stars. This assurance by Poe apparently allays Psyche's fears, and together they go on to a tomb. Psyche tells the narrator that within lies his "lost" Ulalume; this word choice is an allusion to death.
This work by Poe is fraught with figurative literary devices. The first line in the chosen excerpt of "Ulalume" refers to a "She;" this lady is Astarte, a beautiful goddess in mythology that deals with matters of the heart. While she is mentioned earlier in the poem, she has no actual mention in this excerpt. "She has seen that the tears are not dry on/These cheeks, where the worm never dies," says that Love,(and its goddess, Astarte) even knows that Poe has not stopped grieving for his dead love. Soon after he writes of the "Lethean peace" of the skies. This is an allusion to the River Lethe in Greek mythology, which was a river in Hades that allowed the dead to forget. Perhaps Poe needed a similar peace to forget the pain in his own life. Much of his work revolves around the death of a beloved woman. Though differently named, probably these lost loves are all one woman--Edgar Allan Poe's dead child bride Virginia Clemm. The title character "Ulalume," is most likely no exception, directly correlating with the universal "love and death" theme.
"Come up, in despite of the Lion,/To shine on us with her bright eyes--/Come up through the lair of the Lion,/With love in her luminous eyes," is a passage that several times refers to a "Lion;" this is an allusion to the lion sign of the Zodiac and constellation, 'Leo.' Other fictitious character references in the piece include those of Sibyl and Psyche, the latter whose curiosity caused her lover, Cupid, to flee from her forever, and who supposedly mourns her respective lost love for all eternity. I find it ironic that Poe chose to use the goddess Psyche in this piece as the one he has to convince to do his bidding. Psyche is the Greek word for "soul," which almost leads the reader to wonder if Poe is using both meanings of the word in this poem, convincing not a mythical woman, but himself.
