Do you have a cloud mining operation or ponzi scheme that you need to promote?
-Are you falling on deaf ears with all these haters calling what you are promoting a "scam" or calling you other names like scammer?
-Is the program you are promoting as an affilate not getting the referals that you wanted because people do not trust the offer?
-Would you like to leverage new interest in bitcoin but are not sure how?
-Do you need thought leaders and trustworthy people in the bitcoin world to talk about you?
-Do you need the name of what you are promoting mentioned as much as possible?
If you answered
to any of these questions then we have the solution.
First send
5btc – now only 1btc to apihdspbgpsgpspspspi1335
-Send bitcoin to yourself, any large ammount betweet 5 btc and 500 btc. The more the better.
-From another social media account not associated with what you are promoting send a public message similar to this.
"We just send you too much bitcoin by mistake, please do the right thing and send it back! Thanks!"
Do not send the funds back right away.
-Let people retweet and even get a little angry. Make sure that a few crypto mags pick up the story and that it is on reddit and twitter. Get people to do live streams about it, youtube videos ect.
-Suddenly when everyone is calling you a scammer and thief you SEND THE BITCOIN BACK.
Now you are the hero and have gotten a lot of free exposure for the program that you are promoting.
Repeat for better effects

Just another day inside the warped hive-mind known as MSNBC:
"Clarence Thomas' actions here today — though consistent, though tragic to me — are even more so in light of the bulk of decisions he's rendered in the name of a judicial vote on the Supreme Court," Dyson told Bashir. "A symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit holocaust and genocide upon his own people," he concluded.
Progressives resent progress when it renders anachronistic once-valid reasons for enlarging the federal government's supervisory and coercive powers. Hence they regret Tuesday's Supreme Court ruling that progress has rendered Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. This section stipulates the formula by which nine states and some jurisdictions in others are brought under Section 5, which requires them to get federal permission — "preclearance" — for even the most minor changes in voting procedures. The 15th Amendment empowers Congress to enforce with "appropriate legislation" the right to vote. Sections 4 and 5 were appropriate 48 years ago, when the preclearance provisions were enacted for five years. They have been extended four times, most recently in 2006 for 25 years.
The VRA is the noblest legislation in American history, more transformative than the 1862 Homestead Act, the 1862 Morrill Act (land-grant colleges) or the 1944 GI Bill of Rights. But extraordinary laws that once were constitutional, in spite of being discordant with the nation's constitutional architecture, can become unconstitutional when facts that made the law appropriate change. The most recent data, such as registration and voting rates, on which Section 4 is based, are from 1972. The data would have been 59 years old when the most recent extension would have expired in 2031. Tuesday's decision prevents this absurdity that Congress embraced.

Economic Reform and the Stability of the Demand for Money in Tanzania
This paper investigates whether there exists a stationary long-run equilibrium relationship between real money balances, real income, inflation and expected depreciation in Tanzania which can be identified as a money demand function. As the institutional and regulatory framework in Tanzania has undergone a series of changes since economic reforms began in the mid-1980s, shifts in parameters over time might have occurred, causing instability in the money demand function. Using Johansen's maximum likelihood and dynamic modelling procedure, the paper finds equilibrium in the long run and a stable money demand function. These findings imply that, even though economic liberalization and relaxation of controls could have induced instability in the money demand function as conjectured in the literature, such instability was not significant enough to inhibit the estimation of short- and long-run demand for money.

A $100 million investor lawsuit is probing the sources of GPT's 2008 earnings forecasts, which the property trust later downgraded, causing heavy investor losses.
The class action, led by Slater & Gordon, alleges
Senior GPT executive and former operations chief
The Federal Court in Melbourne heard how GPT executives struggled with their partner's more conservative forecast as the joint venture's earnings were revised down.
Peter Collinson, SC, for the litigants, questioned whether the $70 million downgrade proposed by Babcock & Brown "blew a hole" in GPT's growth forecast as a result.
"It was a just a lower number," Mr O'Brien replied. "I wouldn't describe it as blowing a hole in the forecast."
The joint venture's earnings were slashed from $211 million to $143 million, although GPT had pushed for a $177 million forecast, the court heard.
Mr Collinson asked how GPT had arrived at the $177 million estimate and questioned whether it was merely a "balancing item" that allowed the trust to achieve its 5 per cent growth forecast.
"What you're suggesting is we invented that number when that clearly is not the case," Mr O'Brien replied. He said his team were "sceptical" of their partner's $143 million forecast, because it may have been lowered to allow the joint venture to achieve its growth forecast the following year, thus averting a requirement to wind the vehicle up.
But there was pressure on GPT, too, the court heard, because lower earnings from the joint venture would lead to an earnings downgrade, which could put pressure on its share price and prompt a takeover bid from a rival.
"It would be both a tragedy and travesty if we were on the receiving end of a successful bid," former GPT chairman
The litigants' lawyers also grilled Mr O'Brien at length over how GPT executives had derived their earnings forecast for their European funds management business, Halverton.
Another line of inquiry fixed on GPT's expectations of investor support for a $960 million capital raising for its wholesale fund. A successful raising would have allowed GPT to retrieve some investment from the fund, and bring development profit to book.

Ryan Karben is no stranger to politics. A spirited personality, he was addressed New York delegates to the 1992 Democratic National Convention, met with former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and served on the Town of Ramapo Planning Board in Rockland Country, N.Y.
Now he's running as a Democrat for the Rockland Country Legislature. His age? A sprightly 20 years old.
Given the recent trend of electing politicians with little or no experience, Karben's youthfulness could hardly come at a more opportune time. As a campaign flier proclaims: "He's young, he's tough and nobody owns him."
But Karben, a Rockland County native and a junior at New York City's Yeshiva University, views his campaign as more than an attempt to hitch a ride on the political outsider bandwagon.
For him, it's a generational crusade.
"Many people in my generation have been referred to as `slackers,' What I'm saying with this campaign is that it's our turn. The voice of the next generation needs to be heard," he said.
Karben is also quick to dismiss concerns that his age is simply a novelty act which will help him in capturing votes. County legislators must be at least 18.
"My youth has brought a new and unique perspective to the planning board and I feel it can do the same for the county Legislature. And I think people in this community are enthused by that," he said.
The fact that he is still in college may actually be a blessing.
While most individuals in college have the opportunity to develop their minds and contemplate complex philosophical questions, Karben also confronts them on a practical, everyday basis.
He cited the example of reading Henry David Thoreau, who writes about the role of right vs. the law. "I get to deal with that question firsthand. It is incredibly invigorating, not to mention invaluable to me as a public servant," Karben said.
Karben's career accomplishments also include his involvement in the Rockland County Young Democrats, where he serves as president.
Since he was 18, he has been a member of the Town of Ramapo Planning Board, helping to resolve issues ranging from safe day care to Jewish concerns. He has been directly involved in making funding decisions for synagogues and schools.
In September, the Rockland Journal-News called him a "sharp, young mind" for his proposal of a local law to regulate sex shops. The law bore a striking resemblance to similar legislation later proposed by New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the newspaper said.
Articulate on a variety of topics, Karben waxes philosophical about an individual's struggle for self-definition one minute then shifts gears and speaks in a practical manner of "the need to embrace a younger, more aggressive Jewish leadership."
He also talks of what he perceives to be a key problem plaguing America today. "We need to acquire a renewed sense of spirit," he said. "We have forgotten how to dream, and we have to learn how to do it again."
Karben stresses his populist roots. "I was not born into a prominent or wealthy family. I just have a passion for public service."
He also labels himself a "raging moderate," a concept that was driven home for him by the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who wrote extensively about the "golden mean."
Religion has shaped him in other ways.
"In Judaism, the priority is not the self," he said. "Instead, the community plays a central role."
Karben claims that the emphasis on community is the appeal of public service and that this belief will make him an effective politician.
In addition, he points to the advantages of having restrictions in a politician's life, especially against the backdrop of those politicians who have overly extravagant lifestyles.
"Orthodox Judaism teaches you limits. You can't eat at every reception. You can't work seven days a week; time must be reserved for the family. These limits are very important in public life. So many politicians ignore limits," he said.
And his role as a Jewish politician?
"A Jew in public life is, in a certain sense, an ambassador for the community," Karben said. "People who come from that community often understand it better and can serve it more effectively."
Although he denounces politicians who are "Johnny one-note on Jewish issues," he also says that as a Jew, he has "a special obligation to stand up for the Jewish community."
But Karben is not all political animal. Whether it's relaxing in front of an old Mel Brooks movie at home or spending time with his high school sweetheart, Karben often reveals a human, tender side.
"When I spent weekends volunteering in old-age homes in high school, for example, it was a incredibly enriching experience," he said. "It taught me that not everything is a political opportunity, to be exploited for political purposes. It's about connecting with people and benefiting from their wealth of experience."
If Karben plays his cards right, the greatest wealth of experience may one day be his own.

"The fans are an incredibly committed and passionate group of people. Going to a show is kind of like visiting Japan, you expect gifts on your arrival. You get all kinds of wonderful things … Someone cut their ear off once and sent it to me, that was very strange. A whole ear. The Van Gogh move. The note just said, 'Are you listening?' I never knew who it was, who's missing their ear out there … Just don't put your entire body in a case and send it to us."
– Jared Leto on the craziest gift he ever received from one of his fans. I believe you would call that ear mail. That poor person missing their ear in the name of Jared Leto. His fans sound more insane than the Beliebers. [NME]

By Jon Cassidy | Watchdog.org
HOUSTON — A group of freshman lawmakers is trying to scrape together a few million dollars for the grossly underfunded health care plan for retired teachers.
But in a twist reported by The Texas Tribune, the Texas Retired Teachers Association is snubbing the 11 Republican freshmen, instead endorsing two other amendments and advising lawmakers to follow their leadership.
The association acknowledges "that TRS-Care is facing a future funding crisis," but expresses confidence that lawmakers will address the issue "when the time is right."
Apparently, the teachers' association would rather not draw attention to a massive financial problem that both parties have been happy to ignore. The teachers' position may seem counter-intuitive, but they know they'll get their money. Their problem is that once voters realize just how much that is, their benefits will end up getting cut.
Like almost every state, Texas has ignored its mounting debts for retiree health care, choosing to fund costs as they occur instead of setting aside money for the benefits as they are earned. The most recent study by the Pew Center on the States estimates Texas' debt for retiree health care at $56 billion, almost entirely unfunded. And that's for benefits already earned, not the benefits that current employees will earn from now till they retire.
The group of 11 lawmakers has introduced 37 amendments to the budget, which were expected to be debated and voted on Thursday. All of them aim to increase funding for TRS-Care, the health care fund for retired teachers, by trimming the budget in other areas, such as obscure boards and commissions and other line items unlikely to provoke much of a fuss.
Despite the Retired Teachers Association's views on the right time for funding health care, there's near-universal agreement among actuaries and benefits professionals that the time to fund these benefits is when they are earned. That's the reason pension funds exist in the first place, so as not to pass the bill to a future generation.
Yet TRS-Care barely has enough money to get through the next two-year budget cycle and is projected to be $1.2 billion in the red by 2017. From there it gets worse, much worse.
Retiree health care is just a fraction of the mounting debt that's threatening the state's future. The Pew Center puts Texas' total unfunded liability at $82 billion, and that's using the pension funds' own numbers, which assume annual returns of around 8 percent. When you account for the debt the same way markets do, the picture gets very bleak.
A study by the American Enterprise Institute using a risk-free discount rate put the state's unfunded pension liability at $180.7 billion. Once you add in debt for health care and outstanding state bonds, the state's total debt is around $287 billion.
For comparison, the state's debt is roughly three times the size of its annual budget; that's the same ratio the federal government has between its publicly held debt and its annual spending. So how is that possible in a state run by self-professed conservatives?
The simple reason is that lawmakers haven't yet been forced to send taxpayers the bill for all the government they've been buying. Under current accounting rules, state and local governments can defer employee compensation costs for decades, and keep those debts off their balance sheets.
Once new rules go into effect this summer, lawmakers will have an impossible time ignoring the pension tsunami rolling in. For this final legislative session, they can still play at their sand castles on the beach, which is what they've done. The focus of debate has been whether a $12 billion surplus (rainy day fund) should best be spent on water projects, roads or schools.
The only members even hinting that the state needs to prepare for a tsunami rather than a rainy day are the 11 freshmen – Reps. Craig Goldman, Stephanie Klick and Matt Krause of Fort Worth, Jeff Leach of Plano, Rick Miller of Sugar Land, Jonathan Stickland of Bedford, Scott Sanford of McKinney, Matt Schaefer of Tyler, Drew Springer of Muenster, Steve Toth of the Woodlands, and Scott Turner of Richardson — and they haven't been particularly bold. We contacted nine of the members and heard back from none.
Their amendments wouldn't go very far in solving the problem — they move $10 million here and $500,000 there — but the roll call on those amendments will say something about which Republicans are inclined to do something about the state's biggest problem and which ones are happy to look away.
That's because the cuts are relatively easy and politically riskless. Schaefer wants to cut $10 million from the state lottery's marketing budget and give the money to TRS-Care.
Turner would cut $49 million from the Texas Workforce Commission's budget for Skills Development. That's the money that goes to community colleges to teach employed forklift drivers how to drive forklifts and such, sparing their employers the cost.
Klick's amendment would cut funding for the Governor's Commission for Women by $447,450. This relic was created in 1967 by Gov. John Connally, who charged it to explore "ways for women to continue their roles as wives and mothers while contributing to the world around them and with recommending ways to end unequal policies affecting women," according to the commission's website.
Some 24 years the later, the women of the world still had issues with work-life balance, so Gov. Ann Richards appointed 29 new members "to improve the mental, physical, and emotional health of Texas women, as well as to maintain statistics on women and to track state and federal legislation."
If Texas women are not yet models of Zen tranquility and physical fitness, it's not for a lack of statistics accumulated by the commission.
The question raised by this group of freshmen, however diffidently, is if we can't shut off the lights on a few obscure boards, how are we going to handle the much graver decisions awaiting the next Legislature?

BHP Billiton is planning a multi-billion dollar return of cash to investors within months as Chinese demand for resources fuels to miner's increase in output.
BHP chief executive Andrew Mackenzie has reaffirmed the company's $US5.5 billion ($6.1 billion) cost-cutting target by the end of this year and a reduction in debt to $US25 billion, in an interview with London's The Sunday Times.
''When we get that number ($25 billion), we will have a serious and practical conversation on how we might increase cash returns to shareholders," Mr Mackenzie said.
When he took over from former chief executive Marius Kloppers, who had been part of the great mining boom expansion, Mr Mackenzie began huge cost-cutting measures and the selling off of assets as mining capital expenditure peaked.
Analysts have previously said BHP cutting gearing levels to below 30 per cent would trigger shareholder buybacks or investments in further growth.
''Management believe they can achieve an average internal rate of return of over 20 per cent for the major project options. We see further project approvals with the 2014 full year results,'' said Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young.
Mr Young suggested the Spence copper project in Chile or the Pilbara iron ore business were the most likely candidates for investment funding.

Well spoken, Brother!
Improvisation by Samuel Wells relates to this same topic applied to Christian Ethics.
One of the ideas of which Wells reminds us is that improv has rules – it is practiced in community (acting troupe.)
My favorite way of explaining Christian community (particularly in the Church of the Brethren context): we are practicing improvisation in ensemble. Love Feast as practiced by the Church of the Brethren is a a unique, identity-bearing, participatory drama that guides the understanding of Christ-centered service.
Nice opening conversation!

String Snot, and Arrow Snot...my review.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try out two new products on the market. String Snot, and Arrow Snot, both by 30-06 Outdoors. Lets start with the String Snot. I had just purchased a used bow, and the strings on the bow were a little frayed, and could have been replaced, but instead, I figured it would be a perfect chance to test out this new product. The first thing I noticed, was that it wasn't greasy. I put it on the string with my bare fingers, and it goes on the string very smooth, and absorbs into the string better than any string treatment I have used in the past. It brought the frayed string back into great shape, and it looked new again. I did a couple of more test on an old string I had, and as advertised, the String Snot worked. It beaded water thanks to its Weatherlock technology, and I tried freezing it, and it didn't freeze. I also like the fact that it is odorless, which is very important to us Bowhunters.
Now for the Arrow Snot. One thing you will notice about most commercial Arrow lubes, is the fact that they stink. Arrow Snot has no smell. I shoot 3-D with the same arrows I hunt with, and I have always wondered if the smell left over would spook game. Now that is no longer a problem. I tested Arrow Snot with My hunting bow set at 63lbs, shooting both a 400gr. arrow, and a 330gr. arrow into a dense foam target, that is normally somewhat difficult to pull arrows from. I shot from 10 yards away, with arrows that had not been treated, and then with treated arrows. The treated arrows pulled out much easier that the untreated arrows. Normally, I would have to use an arrow puller, but not with the Arrow Snot on them. Arrow Snot is not only odorless, but it also cleans arrow shafts, and is non toxic which is very important to me since I have children that shoot.
Both these products in my opinion work as they are advertised. I am happy that I had the chance to try them.

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - A guest on a recent episode of the "John Walsh Show" said Friday that producers would not let her identify the man who sexually assaulted her as an off-duty police officer for fear of damaging Walsh's relationship with the law enforcement community. The program was promoted as featuring women who own firearms for personal protection but was instead, the women said, a thinly veiled attack on gun ownership.
In an exclusive interview with CNSNews.com, Tiffany Hyatt Theriot said she was told only moments before taping for the April 29 episode of the program began that she could not identify even her attacker's profession.
"John didn't want me to mention that I had been violated by a cop," she said.
Theriot said she was specifically instructed by Jennifer Ulrich, one of the show's producers, not to make any reference to who had sexually assaulted her.
"Oh, by the way, you can talk about the rape, but don't mention that he's a cop. John doesn't want you to," Ulrich reportedly told Theriot. "John said: 'No, we don't want to talk about bad cops.'"
Theriot's account of the events is supported by two of the other women who appeared on the program with her and were present during the conversation.
"It was after their meeting with John that they decided they were not going to let it be known that he was a cop," said Maria Heil, the national spokeswoman for the Second Amendment Sisters, a group that promotes self-defense options for women.
"They didn't tell her that until right before we were starting to tape," Lisa Marquez, a survivor of domestic abuse by a former spouse, recalled. "Jennifer came back and said, 'We're sorry, you can't say that [he is a law enforcement officer]."
Marquez said she had been told by the producers days earlier that she could not say that it was an ex-husband who had abused her. She said when she threatened not to appear on the program unless she could accurately relate the details of her experience, the show's staff relented.
"I felt sorry for Tiffany because they sprang it on her while she was there," Marquez said.
Repeated calls to the publicity office for the "John Walsh Show" seeking comment on the allegations in this article were not returned.
'I had so much respect for his show...'
Theriot said the producers of the show contacted her employer - a gun dealer and shooting range in Baton Rouge, La. - looking for a woman who currently carried a gun because of the Baton Rouge serial murders, fears of terrorism or for some other safety-related reason but had not carried a weapon for self-defense until recently.
"They had me on the other end of the phone, and I told them, 'I'm basically exactly what you just described,'" she recalled.
After relating the details of the assault against her - including the identification of her assailant as a law enforcement officer - Theriot was invited to New York to appear on the program with Heil and Marquez.
"I had so much respect for his show and 'America's Most Wanted' and where he's been and how he has raised up his cause that I was more than proud to do that," she explained.
But Theriot noted that - between not being allowed to tell one of the most important details of her ordeal and the manner in which she and the other pro-gun women on the program were treated once taping began - that respect is gone.
"That's why I was so devastated by what was done to us," she added. "When somebody you respect and admire hurts you, it hurts 10 times more than if it was some stranger who you didn't care about."
'We were promised it would not be a debate'
As CNSNews.com previously reported, the pro-gun women feel they were misled about the purpose of the program.
"They had promised both of us that it wasn't going to be a debate, that it was going to be about me and Tiffany and what happened to us, and probably a couple of other people like us, to empower women," Marquez recalled. "I told them, 'If this is going to be a debate, I'm not doing this.'"
Heil had a similar discussion with Walsh's producers.
"I was told that it was not going to be a debate, that it was going to be four women who owned guns, and I was told that one would be an 'ex-gangbanger' who doesn't exactly agree with us, but she owns a gun," Heil recalled.
The episode was billed as "Women and Guns: The Best Defense?" and featured numerous anti-gun speakers who continuously interrupted and berated the three pro-gun guests.
'Alleged audience member was wearing microphone'
Alexandra Jewett, executive producer of the "John Walsh Show," first told CNSNews.com that a spokesperson for the anti-gun organization "Million Mom March" just happened to be in the audience.
"She was sitting in the audience. She wasn't an invited guest. She wasn't there on 'home base' with an open mic[rophone] on," Jewett explained. "John had to walk over to her to get a comment. She had an opinion. She was entitled to give her opinion in the show."
Jewett later acknowledged that Diane was, in fact, placed in the audience by the show's producers "because one of the women was affiliated with the Sisters of the Second Amendment [sic], who go head-to-head with Million Mom March all the time."
A review of the video from the program clearly shows that, contrary to Jewett's claim, Diane was wearing a wireless lapel microphone for the length of the broadcast.
'I was just dashed and squashed and spit on'
Theriot said she agreed to go on the program for the same reasons she works at a gun dealer and shooting range and counsels women on self-defense options.
"I am trying to stand up for myself and fight...to rectify a problem," she said, referring to her own experience. "The only reason I'm really doing it is so that I can effect change for other women."
That desire, she added, is what attracted her to Walsh's program.
"He's my hero when it comes to that and then, the way I was just dashed and squashed and spit on, on his show," she concluded, "made me feel just abandoned."

Finally Heard? The Duggar Aftermath
It's Not Just The Duggars
This post has been a long time coming, and with the Duggar scandal all over the news, its been on my mind again. First off, let me say that what Josh Duggar did was wrong, and how the media has handled this story has been pretty awful too. Tabloids have been flippant about sharing police documents with the victims names on them, and since the Duggar family has been very vocally against LGBTQ people who they claim are child-molesters, there are a lot of people eager to point out the hypocrisy of covering up the deeds of a child molester in their midst. I think there is plenty out there on what happened, and how it was "handled", I want to talk about the why. So many people are shocked and … [Read more...]
Fundamentalist Approved Feminist Literature
I read constantly. It was a way to find out more about the world outside my parents home, and escape from the day in day out monotony, and other than our family movie nights, some of my only entertainment.Some books that I read, were not approved. I speed-read them without my parents knowledge in the library (The Princess Diaries Series, Star Wars Sci-Fi) and later when I had access to book stores bought them and hid them in the cabinet that was mine (Leon Uris and Chiam Potok). Sometimes unapproved books made their way into our house from grandparents downsizing (Readers Digest collections) or a large box of classics a distant relative or friend dropped off for the homeschool kids, … [Read more...]
Rather Dead Than Queer
I'm so cripplingly lonely. I have parents that think I shouldn't be allowed to go out with friends more than once every couple months because they don't want me to make friends that accept my gender. I never get any social interaction, I just sit in my room and listen to indie music and browse tumblr all day. My social anxiety is at an all time high and my stuttering is worse than it's ever been. -Quote from Leelah's Tumblr I remember trying to figure out a way to explain. A way to describe how the rejection feels. Every statement about "god's plan", and "god's design", pounding it further and further into your head, that god does not love you the way you are, god despises and rejects people … [Read more...]
Re-Post: Lies we tell ourselves about abuse
This post was originally published June 2011. One of the things that prompted my finally admitting my own denial, was realizing I did not want to parent the way I was parented. I wanted to believe that how I grew up had not been harmful, I wanted so badly for my parents to be right, that I refused to think about it, refused to deal with it, and even repeated it. In the end, my desire to not hurt my kids was stronger than my desire for my parents to be right. That is what snapped me out of the fog, and forced me to get help. (I have one more re-post after this one. To read about what prompted this, check out this post.) We want to think the best of people. We want to tell o … [Read more...]
Re-Post: Rights of a Child
This post was originally published August 2011. It was part of my reaction to Michael Farris' creating a "parent's rights" amendment and proposing to amend our constitution. It was a big realization for me that the parent is not sacred, that they do not always know what is best for their child, and sometimes they need help. It helped me to take a step toward freedom from the weight of my parents expectations of me, and also help me be less afraid of acknowledging my own shortcomings as a parent, and be less afraid to get help and learn more. Several months ago, my mom was spouting off against the government and Child Protective Services in a phone conversation, saying that they should never … [Read more...]

Paris (ESA) Feb 20, 2013
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft snapped images of asteroid Steins as it flew by the diamond-shaped asteroid on 5 September 2008 revealing a tiny world with a big history of collisions.
The images were taken by Rosetta's Wide Angle Camera as the spacecraft flew within 800 km of the 5 km-wide asteroid, and later processed by amateur astronomer Ted Stryk to produce the image presented here.
By emphasising the shadows, the processing reveals high-contrast features, such as bright crater rims against their dark, shadowed interiors. However, this technique can also create some artifacts, such as the illusion of boulders protruding from the surface, that are not present in the raw data.
One striking feature is the gaping hole at the south pole (top in this image) of Steins - its largest impact crater at about 2 km wide and nearly 300 m deep. This crater is named "Diamond" following the gem nomenclature chosen after the asteroid's overall shape earned it the nickname "diamond in the sky".
The circular crater in the centre of the asteroid as seen in this viewing angle is called Topaz and is about 650 m wide and 80 m deep.
A chain of several craters can be seen stretching from the asteroid's north pole (bottom in this image) right up to Diamond crater.
So far, around 40 craters have been found, but the imposing Diamond crater likely influenced the appearance of the entire asteroid because the debris thrown out from this dramatic collision would have scattered over the surface, imprinting over other, older craters.
Rosetta has since passed by asteroid Lutetia in July 2010 and is now in deep-space hibernation. It will wake up on 20 January 2014 and rendezvous with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in May 2014. A few months later, its Philae probe will separate to make the first controlled landing on a comet.
Comets are considered to be the primitive building blocks of the Solar System, and Rosetta will help scientists to learn more about their role in the evolution of our local cosmic neighbourhood.

Femskins: The Stuff Of Nightmares
I try to keep an open mind when it comes to other peoples' fetishes, though there are some things I draw the line at (anything involving bodily substances, for one). This particular fetish, however, just scares, rather than disgusts me. It seems that, like Buffalo Bill before them (remember "Silence of the Lambs") there's a certain type of guy that gets off on actually wearing the "skins" of latex sex dolls, face and all. Called "masking" or "femskins," these peeps are apparently prominent enough that they had a convention (no word on why it was canceled). And there's video! [via Asylum]

The entertainment for the family. lack of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in room
We stayed with our two small children and our room was extremely well set-up for us when we arrived with a cot and a single bed. Our two year old boy was unfortunately sick the night that we stayed and all his bedding needed to be changed and was in a bit of a state. The staff dealt with it professionally and calmly and made us feel at ease, it was a real treat to be looked after in this way. No, all good
Enjoyed it very much, only stayed one night and no complaints.
Clean and Quiet and relaxing spa and pools, helpful happy staff, good service and good food .Location great for our family Reunion and local sites.Easy to find very handy, Go to the clouds of steam against the hills!
All Great
The room was comfortable and had all facilities expected. Liked everything except the lack of regular black tea (eg. Dilmah) - too many flavoured teas were available. Also, the prices of room service Breakfasts were astronomical.
Very peaceful surroundings. The room service wasn't good in the fact we had to check back after 2 hours. We were told they had missed the order. It was then delivered some 20 mins later. We were advised the Hotel was busy - maybe more staff were needed.
This clean, bright, new, comfortable hotel was very conveniently located for Te Puia and Waiotapu, which were my activities of choice. I'd recommend to anyone going to Rotorua for the Maori cultural experience and geothermal points of interest. Like most NZ hotels, the Heritage Rotorua charged for wireless Internet in the rooms. The international hospitality industry needs to understand that this is a service most travellers now expect nice hotels to include at no additional cost, just like a hairdryer or bathrobe.
Friendly and professional staff, check in and out procedures were very efficient. Staff willing to meet our needs, room was very comfortable. We did find it a little noisy both late at night and again early in the morning. Our room was in the older wing of the hotel - over the function centre. We have stayed in the newer wing on a previous occassion and it was a lot quieter.
The room was nice, clean, very nice facilities, just next to Te Puia and the Maori village - great location. The location was however also a disadvantage of the hotel. As the Te Puia sulfur mud pools were very close the air was very smelly and sometimes even very hard to breath.
Good location downtown, close to waterfront. My "lake view" room was dated, with some cracks in the doorframe and aging furniture. However, was clean and overall adequately comfortable. "Lake view" from 2nd floor simply means a view of the spa across the street, which is actually on the lake - we had no real lake view and actually paid extra for the "view". Would need a higher floor for the view. Room was not worth the price. I would recommend staying away from this hotel. 3 stars at best. See above.
relaxing with family and frirends spa room had lecking roof but it it was under repair so no problem
I very much enjoyed the spa where I had two treatments. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bathroom badly needs updating, and some more towel rails! I found it difficult having a shower in a narrow bath with a rounded bottom. I kept hitting my head on the shower head! Good pressure though.
Great facilities. Lovely large room overlooking the lack and spa complex. Paying the extra to get this view was so worth it. Looking forward to staying again.
Comfotable rooms - excellent restuarant, rooms abit too warm one of our party did not have her details and room added prior arrival
Good, friendly service. Very comfortable room. Had dinner in the restaurant - excellent. Lovely location.
Convenience for local amenities and value for money
The hotel was in a central location within easy walking distance to the city centre. The facilities were very good as was the service.
Welcome and Farewell gestures by management Quality of diner: a little pretentious
We had a Club Room which has an excellent view of the lake, continental breakfast, and happy hour. It is also across the street from Polynesian Spa which is the main reaon we stayed there. It is a very large complex with lots of tourist groups. So the hotel is very busy. But a Club Room avoids the congestion.
we have stayed there a number of times and like the general atmosphere, appearance and services and proximity to city centre
Peace and Quiet No lunch or evening meal options - have to go out to eat.
The hotel was very central (main reason why it was chosen) also it ended up being very close to supermarket, reastaurants and shops. Position very good. Price was good and free breakfast sold it. Room was smaller than others we encountered on our NZ holiday. Still the price was good and room adequate. Not complaining just noting.
very homely and decent, good value for money spent
Washer in laundry not working properly.
The spa bath
Bed was very soft and sank in the middle.
Good clean rooms and heated pool I am Gluten Free or low Gluten and there was nothing on the breakfast menu I could eat. Boiled eggs or something similar would have been nice.
It was clean and the continental breakfast was layed out nicely. It was also central to the city centre and restaurants
The location within Rotorua The hotel room furnishings were old, needed replacing and didnt feel clean. TV was old and needs replacing as did the bedding.
Handy for shopping and visiting local attractions. easy walk to restaurants in the evening. No
The choice at the buffet breakfast
Very good value for money, reasonably central location, comfortable room and friendly staff Although the room was not too bad, the hotel is sited downwind of the pretty foul smelling Lake Rotorua
friendly stuff, nice enviroment, very convenient to all facilities NA
very helpful staff friendly and did thier best to accomidate all wants. room needed to be vaccumed under the beds when i dropped some thing the rolled under the bed their was all sorts of small bits and pieces under the beds rubber bands and bits of platic etc
Location is close to the lake as stated in website and the room in general is spacious for two. Also, the location of the room I was given was not as expected. The coffee/tea maker was not clean the color was more towards green instead of bright white. I could not make any coffee or tea.
good value for money;courtesy of staff; location; quiet and relaxed no
Affordable Great location Bed was uncomfortable A/C had limited cooling
The bathroom; powerful shower that remained at a constant temperature and was spacious. Lack of car parking on site.
Location good, handy walking distance to town, lake front, museum, restaurants. nice view over lake. Comfortable, spacious room. Hard to find a fault, but I dont think there was air conditioning.
location, warm staff smell of sulpher close by
Hot Spa Baths and the entertainment. Did not like the strong sulphur smells.
Good value for money The room was too hot, the wall mounted heater was not adjustable
Good location, large spa bath in this room type, breakfast fresh and varied, spacious room air conditioning difficult to use, room was very hot, no wine glasses despite mini bar, internet prices exorbitant
Large room, small private balcony. Staff was welcoming. Very outdated hotel room that has needed a renovation for a couple of decades. The elevator had a funky smell to it and the room had no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan, opening the window doesn't help much especially with the Rotorua aroma outside. The bathroom door showed signs of flooding damage. The pool was out of service during our visit and the breakfast was medicore at best.
Nice and spacious....
No appropriate table for use of computer. No good lighting to work in the room. Poor access to television options. No kitchen knifes or forks.
Liked the dedicated rooms with smoking balconies. Friendly staff. The hotel is a bit "tired". Some carpet in the lobby has stretched.
only stayed 1 night but liked the security camera in the car park and the spa available in the room and the recliner chair i was not greeted on arrival when i spoke to reception and made arrangements and found this rather poor as a greeting would have been polite and given a friendly atmosphere to our holiday .how ever on paying the bill i was given good customer service.
Loved the gym and the pool had to ring and ask for toilet paper. The bathroom / toilets felt dirty
The rooms are very large in size and very comfortable and the hotel is in a good central location. the gym and pool are a great bonus. Nothing
i wasnt too impressed with this facility. it was very tired looking and i didnt find the staff too friendly..although i didnt find people in rotorua too friendly either considering its a tourist town...room wasnt ready at 2.. we got sent up to a room that wasnt serviced and had to be relocated to another... please read the above.
terrible room service – it wasn't serviced by 3.00pm and they took away our towels without replacing them.
We had asked for a two-bedroom unit but got a large three bedroom apartment with a private hot tub and well equipped kitchen. The staff checked on us to see if we needed anything. Unlimited free wifi, which is not always the case in NZ. Check-in closes at nine, eight on weekends. They had mentioned this in their reservation, but we did not notice as it was part of a lot of standard text that we didn't really read. Fortunately, we got there just as the manager was leaving. Also, the windows didn't have insect screens. If we kept them shut, the room was a bit hot and stuffy despite the fans (no AC), and if we kept them open, we got bit by some sand flies. The internet was weak and kept dropping.
Great location for hot water beach and cathedral cove. Nice apartment style room. Fantastic service from the owners.
Personal service of staff. Close to everything in Rotorua. Comfortable and felt like staying in someone's home. Just felt a bit "worn" and a couple of things needed to be cleaned better like the phone and the outside of the cupboards in my kitchenette. The wall paper inside the entryway was all buckled and loose.
Hotel staff were all excellent...helpful, polite and well presented. For a 'city hotel' it was remarkably quiet, mindful that we spent only a Saturday night there. Not surprisingly, the hotel is showing signs of its age and in instances, looked "tired". Unavoidably, the only way to reach the Steiner Room was by going outside...in wet weather, not all that desirable.
Loved the contemporary feeling in a very old hotel. Would be nice to have had bathrobes and full house wifi.
This hotel had a very personal atmosphere and it was an interesting place for its heritage and charm. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was close to the centre of town and close to the beautiful gardens so was perfect for our needs.
The situation and the building
Great location. Excellant staff. Parking is a problem. No AC. Bed very soft.
good central location and attractive building, helpfull staff quickly rectified small problem, large,comfotable room.
The old world charm and ambience and the professsionalism of the staff The room was a bit small
The old unique/antique set-up. The rooms having an outside corridor, not too nice on cold rainy days
The hotel character and fine dining (which was not expensive neither). The pool area needs some maintenance.
Convenience to town & restaurants; free parking; spacious suite Would have liked to have washing machine in the suite instead of at communal area. The apartment is a little dated (70s-80s).
Quiet and Peaceful location. Close to Restaurants and I Site for picking up tours. Not enough staff on Reception desk to cater for Checking in/out and answering questions. I Never saw anybody at the concierge desk to assist guests.
The buffet in the hotel restaurant was very nice, as was the service. Our room was quiet and comfortable enough. Room had no opening windows for fresh air and the air conditioner was inefficient. The number of teabags were minimal.
All went well, nice place to stay!
Fantastic location, very obliging staff - they let us check out one hour later at no extra costs Nothing went wrong
In a wonderful position for views across lake and close to shops and restuarants. Nothing
It was well slituated and served a good breakfast.
Very curteous and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, location excellent, easy walk to lake and shops and restaurants None at all
Clean and comfortable, good choice at breakfast. Close to town centre and lakeside. Reasonable size carpark. Free internet access was useful. The hotel has free internet access but limited time per day and is data capped. If you pay for internet access it is also limited time and also data capped at a very low data maximum. I would suggest that Novotel in general review the internet access policy for its customers. This is not a complaint but rather a suggestion.
A very comfortable four nights. Staff friendly and helpful. Room very comfortable and clean. Excellent buffet breakfast. Plenty of parking spaces. Conveniently situated within walking distance of local restaurants and shops, and driving distance to the many attractions in the area.
Visited the Maori cultural evening at the Matai Village which was Excellent
Location is great and the room has everything we needed. We travel to Rotorua very often and this will be the place to stay! Pilows are too thin, a bit uncorfortable.
The rooms were clean and spacious. Very well located for Rotorua adventures. Ian and Jyl were friendly, welcoming and helpful!
Comfortable bed, good kitchen facilities Thought it was a spa suite but no spa in the room
Would like to say a special thanks! My stay was great and the staff were wonderful... I will be returning on my next trip over... and stay a little longer!!.. Thanks again ! :)
A bit old fashioned but very clean. Quite a few activities available (hot tub, pool, mini golf) but didn't have time to use due to Rotorua options. Kitchen had more than we needed but was handy. Didn't have air conditioning and no screens on window. Very small narrow bathroom.
