Wheel Stealer photo ...again =/
The issue in question is unresolved. Can you help?
Anybody know where this image is from, for real? It's clearly a different puppet from the Wheel-Stealer, so it isn't from Wheels, Crowns and Flutes. Frankly, it looks simply like the first season Cookie puppet with teeth fastened to it's mouth; So, it's probably from 1968 or '69, if not before. Warrick, who uploaded the photo, added in an early edit that it came from a Muppet Meeting Film. Thoughts 'r answers, anyone? -- Jon (talk) 23:35, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
Im sorry I have no idea, althought I do agree with you about the look of the puppet Wozza 20:39, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
- It really is hard to determine what production this is from given the picture. It does look like it's from a Muppet Meeting Film, yet there's no video I've seen of that. Jim has his full beard and long hair so it could've taken place during 1967-1970 atleast, but I guess that's all subjective. I'll have to take the pic out of the main page and leave it here. I might put this under stumped if we don't find an answer anytime soon. -- Jon (talk) 00:17, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Could it from the IBM "Coffee Break Machine" ? Henrik (talk) 22:13, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
The "Cookie's fur appears reflocked" phrase doesn't make much sense. I'd suggest changing it to something like "a different fur is being used." Also, that's a pretty recent picture, it's definitley not from 1983. Scooter 23:00, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Is the U.S. Open still mad at Serena Williams for the threatening tirade she unleashed at a linesman during the 2009 final?
I ask only because, if that's the case, then payback certainly was issued today when the world's greatest female tennis player was dealt a No. 28 seed for this year's tournament at Flushing Meadows.
When an athlete has won 13 grand slam singles titles -- more than any other active woman -- she should continue to get respect from the seeding committees until her career goes into serious decline.
Serena has had her problems, to be sure. A pulmonary embolism and a blood clot in her lungs contributed to the 11-month layoff that dropped her from being the world No. 1 to 179th. But the way she battled back from injury and hospitalization says far more about who she is than how a computer ranking rates her absence from the tour.
Williams rendered her time off irrelevant with two recent tournament victories at the Rogers Cup in Toronto and the Bank of the West Classic, at Stanford.
In the latter, she essentially dismembered Maria Sharapova -- the No. 3 seed for the Open, by the way -- 6-1, 6-3. Williams came out bringing the thunder, breaking Sharapova's vaunted serve five consecutive times to begin the match. For the match, Sharapova won only 12 points on serve.
Those victories sent her ranking soaring back to No. 29, but that number is hardly an accurate measure of Williams. At the Open, she will be the opponent no one wants to face, looking for her fourth career title at Arthur Ashe Stadium when play begins Monday.
Women's tennis needs to take note, because its rankings are becoming ready-made punchlines. No. 1-seeded Caroline Wozniacki has never won a grand slam title in singles, nor has No. 2 seed Vera Zvonareva.
Jim Curley, U.S. Open Tournament Director and Chief Professional Tournaments Officer, explained that: "After careful deliberation regarding Serena Williams' seeding, we decided to maintain the objective criteria in place to determine the women's singles seeds at this year's US Open."
Hooey. This was a direct slap at Williams, who now may very well have to face a marquee player as early as the third round.
That figures to make Serena fighting mad, and all the more likely to make a mockery of her No. 28 seeding.

Harker Heights police charged a 20-year-old woman with felony assault after police said she hit a man with her car, pinning him between the vehicle and a trailer.
Police charged Genesis Nyshea Gadson with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly hitting a man with her car Monday on Stillhouse Lake Road.
Police went out to the area after receiving a call of a shooting to find the alleged victim, a man, lying on the ground, an arrest affidavit stated.
A witness told investigators the man had been standing next to Gadson's vehicle telling people in the vehicle to leave the property. The vehicle then drove forward, hitting the man and pinning him between the car and a trailer, the affidavit stated.
Police arrested Gadson near the intersection of Rancier Avenue and 12th Street in Killeen on Thursday. She admitted to driving the vehicle when it struck the man, the affidavit stated.
Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Gadson on Friday, setting her bond at $100,000.
Cooke also arraigned Franchesca Daneice Lee, 29, on a charge of debit card abuse. Lee's bond was set at $20,000.

Five prison guards hurt while restraining inmate
ATTICA — Two sergeants and three corrections officers were injured Saturday evening at the Wyoming Correctional Facility while restraining an inmate, the state Department of Corrections reported.
Officials said Deion Brown, an inmate serving 3 1/2 years for robbery, failed to obey a direct order from a corrections officer. Brown then lunged at a sergeant who was trying to resolve the dispute and began striking him, officials said.
Another sergeant and four corrections officers responded to restrain Brown, according to a report.
The first sergeant was flown by helicopter to Erie County Medical Center where he was treated for a concussion and released. Three of the corrections officers were taken in a state vehicle to Wyoming Community Hospital, Warsaw, where they were treated for their injuries and released. One officer remained on duty.
Brown faces felony charges in the assault and has been transferred to another facility, according to a report. State police are investigating the incident.

more than this, it can seem an overwhelming task. One of the worst things that can happenwith this deadline fixed at every
seven days by the decretive will of Godis to be struck with the preacher's equivalent of writer's block. How do we decide what

Two tech companies have launched rival ventures to build Android tablets in Haiti, a country with little recent experience in electronics manufacturing.
Startups Surtab SA and Handxom SA began production last month and plan to sell the 7-inch touchscreen devices to phone stores nationwide and markets overseas.
Surtab says it has already sold hundreds of tablets to customers including Haiti's education and planning ministries and mobile phone giant Digicel, which sells the tablets in its stores.
Handxom plans to open a showroom next month in the Port-au-Prince area and project manager Jimmy Jacques said the company has already sold 300 units in the past 2 weeks.
The owners of both companies say their businesses show that Haiti is capable of manufacturing more than just clothing, while also paying people decent wages.
"We can do high quality products here not just T-shirts, but something with a little more value, which can allow us to pay our workers better and create a different type of economy than what's been the case," said CEO Maarten Boute, who worked until 2012 as the CEO for Digicel's Haiti office.
Haiti once had an electronic assembly sector, but a U.N.-imposed embargo in the 1990s forced many of the companies to close.

Grant Newsome has just two visits set so far this June. It may be the only two he takes before deciding.
The Lawrenceville, N.J, Prep four-star tackle left Penn State Thursday afternoon, drove to his home in Virginia, and waited to board a plane to Michigan.
Newsome spent Wednesday and Thursday at University Park with his family. Much of that time was spent getting to know the Lions' coaching staff better.
"It was great visit," Newsome wrote in a message to FOS. "I enjoyed everything about it, and I look forward to talking further with coach Franklin and his staff."
The junior said the chatter was the highlight of his visit.
"Just getting to speak with the coaches for an extended period of time," he wrote when asked about the standout moment of the trip.
Newsome will spend Friday and Saturday visiting the Wolverines, and a decision could come as soon as next week.

Maraviroc Abacavir STudy - Effect on Endothelial Recovery (MASTER)

- How to Read a Study Record
HIV infected patients treated with abacavir might have a higher risk for the occurrence of cardiovascular events. At time of writing of this protocol the underlying mechanism is not yet elucidated, however some studies find impaired endothelial function and elevated markers of chronic inflammation in these patients,suggesting a higher lever of chronic inflammation. Recently maraviroc (Celsentri®), a CCR5-receptor antagonist, became available for treatment of patients infected with HIV-1.
Improvement of endothelial function may be a potential beneficial side effect of treatment with maraviroc, due to the potential reduction of immune activation and chronic inflammation as a result of blocking the CCR5-coreceptor. Moreover, treatment intensification of HAART with maraviroc in patients with suppressed plasma HIV_RNA may decrease plasma HIVRNA below the cut-off of 50 copies/ml as well.
The investigators hypothesize that maraviroc intensification therapy in patients on an abacavir-containing regimen will improve endothelial function.
The objectives of this study are: First, to assess the effect of addition of maraviroc to an abacavir-containing regimen on endothelial function; second, to assess the effect of this intervention on markers of immune activation and chronic inflammation, and on plasma HIV-RNA below 50 copies/ml.

Problems with Natural Gas Pipelines
Jumping from the frying pan and into the fire is not helpful when it comes to meeting our region's energy needs. In transitioning away from coal and oil, jumping head first into decades-long commitments to natural gas is proving to be both expensive and dangerous. The exuberance for natural gas is showing some telling tarnish.
The high costs to our climate, our communities and our economy are becoming clearer to more people.
Senator Elizabeth Warren recently penned a strongly worded opinion piece in the Berkshire Eagle, opposing a new pipeline planned to run through Western Massachusetts. She concluded:
Before we sink more money in gas infrastructure, we have an obligation wherever possible to focus our investments on the clean technologies of the future — not the dirty fuels of the past — and to minimize the environmental impact of all our energy infrastructure projects. We can do better — and we should
She explained the need to move away from more fossil fuels, stating:
But our aim must be to reduce reliance on carbon based fuels, and than means careful consideration of clean energy alternatives as well as other natural gas pipeline alternatives that do not create wholly new infrastructure. For example, upgrading our old, methane- leaking pipes can help provide affordable power for businesses and consumers without threatening our families and our state
You can read the full text here.
Last week all the State Senators in Addison County Vermont, penned a similar critique highlighting the many problems of a planned new Vermont Gas Systems pipeline in Western Vermont. They stated that the projects
… represent not the development of a bridge fuel to move us forward, but more accurately a monumental, $200 million commitment — paid for largely by Vermonters — to remain where we are, consuming fossil fuels.
They encouraged a more careful evaluation of newer and cleaner technologies and of the long term greenhouse gas emissions of the projects.
You can read the full text here.
These articles reflect the growing concerns about new pipelines – many of which have been raised by CLF.
Our region has been leading in showing the nation how we can rely on cleaner and lower cost energy solutions from energy efficiency and renewable power. Billion dollar investments in new natural gas pipelines tie us to yesterday's technology and growing pollution. We can and must do better.

The clip from the rock band for their fifth single taken from their latest LP "Minutes to Midnight" has just surfaced.
The new music video from rock band Linkin Park for their single "Leave Out All the Rest" has just surfaced, just before its official premiere date today (June 2). The clip which was directed by the band's DJ Joe Hahn sees a very extraordinary and futuristic atmosphere.
It seems the concept of the video tells about galactic adventures as it involves spaceship as the background of the clip and the band as space explorers. Explaining about the clip, previously in an interview Joe said to the press, "We're explorers in space, just like when we go on tour. We're leaving our home life behind, and I guess it kind of ties into 'Leave Out All the Rest', in that we have to leave things behind in order to do something better."
The single itself is the fifth and confirmed to be the last single outed from their latest album "Minutes to Midnight". Explaining about the song, Linkin Park's lead vocalist Chester Bennington said, "We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had great lyrics. I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I'm moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. A lot of the song is about humility."
The band themselves recently confirmed that they already started the work for the following to "Minutes to Midnight" but they won't be releasing it this year. "We're way ahead of the game. We're not planning on releasing a record this year. We don't know when it's going to come out. But we just started working on stuff in the studio," said Chester.

text: My husband, son (21) and I will be driving down to Palm Beach the first of May for 5 days and then heading up to Orlando for 2 days before traveling back home to Virginia. We are looking for some restaurants no more then 45 minutes away that we could try. We will be on a budget so we can't spend $30 a head for each meal, but a nice dinner or two is planned. Over all I'd like to keep meals to no more then $15 to $18 for the entrees. We will also be looking for some night life. As for types of food I'm not big on Italian or Mexican but will try one if it is good since both my husband and son like it. I'm a country girl and I like southern food. I do have a soft spot for unusual sandwiches/burgers. We definitely need a couple good seafood places. My husband and son will eat any kind of food so I'm open to trying pretty much anything. One last request, some places that have healthy eating is a must as my husbands cholesterol will be over the top after eating out for 7 days. We will have our car and bikes for travel. Any advise on things to do in the area would be great too. We are big outdoor people. We plan to visit the Henry Morrison Flagler museum as we are staying in that area. Thanks in advance for your help

Neighbor Shira Burstein has found a lot to be inspired about in Park Slope, and now she has a chance to give back to the community with her new psychotherapy practice, which she just launched this month at 36 Plaza Street.
"I most look forward to developing professional roots, becoming more involved in, and helping people in the community I feel linked to," she tells us.
To celebrate the opening of her new office, we asked Shira a few questions about her practice, and what services she is offering the neighborhood.
PSS: Tell us a little about your background.
Shira Burstein: I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a trained psychotherapist. I earned my bachelor's degree at Clark University where I studied psychology. During the summers I would intern at Westchester Medical's Adult Inpatient Treatment Center. I was always fascinated by human nature and continued on in my studies. I pursued a masters degree in social work from Columbia University. I focused my studies on advanced clinical practice with adults, children, and families. Currently, I work in a non-profit outpatient mental health clinic in addition to my private practice. I have been in the field for a few years, working with a wide range of issues and a span of clientele including, children, teens, families, adults couples, and seniors.
What services do you offer in your local office?
I offer individual, family, and couples psychotherapy sessions. My services draw upon various therapeutic techniques based on individual needs. Some of the techniques I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Perspective, Motivational Interviewing, and a psychodynamic approach.
What's one of the most frequently asked questions you get from people who are looking into your services for the first time, and how do you answer?
Most of the time, clients want to know about my treatment 'style.' Anyone that works with me can expect our interactions to be collaborative and interactive. I strongly believe in providing feedback and having a conversational dynamic that is a two-way street.
Why did you decide to open a practice in our area?
I decided to open a practice in Park Slope because it is a neighborhood that represents an ideal sense of community and connectedness. There is such an eclectic group of people from so many different walks of life. I want to use my clinical skills to help improve the dynamics of people in this community by providing support and guidance in their pursuit for more successful and fulfilling lives.
What are some of your favorite things about living in Park Slope?
I've lived in Park Slope for almost five years. There are endless adventures to be found in the neighborhood. Some of the things I love include running in Prospect Park, admiring the beautiful architecture (especially the brownstones during spring and summer when all the greenery is in bloom). Thrifting at Beacon's Closet and Pony is also one of my favorite things about Park Slope.
You can learn more about Shira and and her practice, where she also offers convenient sessions via Skype, at her website.

AltEnergyStocks.com's Ten Best Competitors
When I began writing about clean energy investing in 2006, my competition was sparse. The quality blogs with industry heavyweights were either not focused on investing, or were primarily focused on venture capital. Now the world has changed. I keep finding new blogs and writers with a strong focus on both clean energy and public companies. Here are a few I'd like to share with readers:
Dedicated Blogs
Energy Tech Stocks - Three articles a day can be a little daunting, but that's what happens when you try to cover everything.
Camino Energy - Their PurePlay indices are a great way to see what's happening with subsectors that don't have dedicated ETFs.
Best Sustainable Business Blogs
Although not strictly focused on investing, I've gained much useful knowledge and insight from these business writers:
Tyler Hamilton's Clean Break. A must read, especially if you're interested in Canadian companies.
Marc Gunther - Marc's writings on sustainable business are among the best in the field.
Joel Makower's Two Steps Forward. Joel's probably first among the industry heavyweights I referred to in the intro. He also showed the great insight of being the first one in this list to add me to his blogroll soon after I started writing. Thanks, Joel!
Cleantech Blog - The Venture capital focused blog I alluded to in the intro.
The Wall Street Journal's Environmental Capital.
Seeking Alpha Writers
Seeking Alpha is a great aggregator of articles focused on stocks, and many excellent writers about alternative energy companies publish or are syndicated there. Most of the best writers are already on this list elsewhere. Two exceptions are:
Greentech Media has excellent writing on many aspects of clean energy, and Seeking Alpha does a good job of publishing just their investing-focused articles.
John Peterson - A battery and energy storage expert who publishes only on Seeking Alpha.
Peak Oil Investors
Jim Kingsdale's Energy Investment Strategies is more broadly energy focused, but he's usually spot on when he writes about clean energy.
Honorable Mentions
Both Earth2Tech and Climate Progress have such good writing I wanted to mention them, despite the fact that they have little to say about investing.
Clean Energy Sector - This young blog shows a lot of promise. Running across it made me think of writing this article.
Other thoughts
If all these are too much to keep up with, try our Cleantech News Blog Aggregator (CTN). On Monday, I'll use the CTN algorithm to bring you the 10 most controversial stories of 2008 (link will be broken until then.)
If you're not in this list, and you think you should be, leave a comment. If I get enough good suggestions, I'll write a follow-up.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2014 (1275 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It has been a difficult time for Winnipeg's infrastructure. Our water periodically looks, but certainly doesn't taste, like a fine Canadian whisky. A combination of the polar vortex and daily water-main breaks has entombed cars from Charleswood to Transcona in knee-deep ice. Recent snow-clearing efforts left most of us wanting to trade in our car for a late-model Mars Rover, and of course in the not-too-distant future, the annual pothole invasion will begin.
The rising cost of maintaining this infrastructure and other civic services have left the City of Winnipeg scrambling to balance its budget, resulting in a third straight property-tax hike for 2014. This increase will be accompanied by a rise in sewer and water rates and likely, education taxes. A few months ago, a KPMG report recommended a 'winter surcharge' be added to property taxes in years when snow-removal costs exceed the city budget.
These reactionary solutions to infrastructure deficits leave governments trying to catch up by spending greater amounts of money fixing problems, without addressing their root cause. Over the last 50 years, Canadians have built sprawling, car-oriented cities that have resulted in a sharp reduction in population density. This has left civic governments responsible for a larger stock of infrastructure with fewer taxpayers to pay for its construction and long-term maintenance.
Since 1970, Winnipeg has grown in population by 33 per cent, yet its area has increased by almost 80 per cent. The populations of mature neighbourhoods such as Wolseley, River Heights and Riverview have also declined by 20 to 30 per cent in that time. Even Osborne Village, the city's most urban neighbourhood, is 10 per cent less populated than it was four decades ago. This decrease in density means each taxpayer has become responsible for a greater share of infrastructure and city services, stretching tax dollars beyond their limits.
Density is not a downtown issue. The greatest challenge to our city's long-term sustainability is infilling our existing suburban neighbourhoods and building higher-density, more integrated new ones. Studies across the country show adding density within a city's existing footprint can have a dramatic impact on economic viability. In Edmonton, it was found the long-term costs for 17 proposed edge developments, with new schools, community centres, roads and libraries will exceed their return in revenues by $4 billion over 60 years. PlanIt Calgary estimated adopting a compact growth plan that reduces new land use by only 25 per cent will save the city $11 billion in initial construction costs alone over that same period.
The subject of adding density to existing suburbs in Winnipeg is often met with public apprehension, but as taxes rise and the city crumbles beneath us, looking for ways to grow internally is becoming increasingly important.
A significant barrier to promoting infill growth is the number of parking stalls required for new projects in established neighbourhoods. Smaller properties are often unable to devote enough land to meet zoning requirements, which pushes development to perimeter sites where surface parking lots can be inexpensively built. After balking at a series of proposals last summer to ease parking bylaws, council recently approved car-share programs as a means of reducing parking requirements in mature communities. At the same time, the recommendation to permit some on-street parking for multi-family developments was rejected and a reduction in overall parking requirements was not addressed.
Last summer's recommendation to allow the subdivision of larger existing properties seems to have fallen off the radar, but Winnipeg has been progressive in the allowance of 'granny flats' or secondary suites. In 2012, the process was streamlined to promote construction of rental suites in existing homes or as detached buildings on a lane. A strategy that has found success in larger cities such as Vancouver, secondary suites increase density in a neighbourhood while providing affordable housing options and supplemental income to homeowners. The province has even established a forgivable-loan program to encourage the initiative. As housing costs continue to rise, supplemental suites will likely become a more prevalent feature in our city.
In Winnipeg, rapid transit is often seen as a boutique project, but progressive cities understand it is much more than just another form of transportation. It is considered an investment catalyst to stimulate transit-oriented development (TOD), an important tool allowing cities to target underdeveloped areas for infill growth. Even Winnipeg's meagre transit corridor has spawned the Fort Rouge Yards TOD that will add 1,800 new residents to the Lord Roberts area. This growth will return the neighbourhood population to 1970 levels, enhancing the viability of commerce along south Osborne, increasing lagging property values and repopulating four local schools that are currently at 60 per cent capacity, helping to reduce the need for increased education taxes. The transit corridor is also acting as a catalyst on other adjacent properties, including a recent proposal for an 18-storey, mixed-use tower beside Harkness Station on Stradbrook Avenue.
There are numerous other strategies modern, creative cities are employing to promote internal growth and densification. In Winnipeg specifically, we might begin to consider a long-term plan to reclaim our old rail yards, look to remove environmental polluters that inhibit development near the St. Boniface Industrial Park and implement progressive taxation policies that focus more on land use than building value. We can provide incentives to fill urban parking lots and redevelop our unparalleled but underused stock of heritage buildings.
Embracing density is no longer a hippie urbanist cause. Recent events demonstrate the economic sustainability of our urban growth affects all Winnipeggers.
Everyone hates taxes, potholes, brown water and snow-filled streets. With renewed commitment to building our city in a sustainable manner, we will begin to address the root causes of Winnipeg's infrastructure deficit, reducing pressure on taxpayers and allowing governments to improve civic services.

If pork is a source of energy, gas will cost pennies a gallon after the tax bill negotiated early today is passed. The bill contains $14.5 billion in
corporate welfare tax incentives for energy industries.
Unforturnately, energy doesn't come from pork. But Congress will try to stuff the pig into the gas tank anyway.
From the Tax Analysts (subscriber-only version) story:
The tax package includes billions in tax breaks spread throughout every sector of the energy industry. The oil and gas industry received $1.6 billion in incentives for production that included a scaled-back Senate provision to allow refinery expensing and a House provision to amortize all geological and geophysical expenditures over two years. The gas industry was also given over $1 billion with the 10-year depreciation of gas-gathering lines.
More than $3 billion was slated for electricity infrastructure, including a provision allowing a 15-year depreciation for transmission property and another provision modifying nuclear decommissioning rules.
The coal industry should be pleased with more than $3 billion divvied primarily between the favorable depreciation rules for pollution control facilities and a tax credit for clean coal facilities.
The extension of section 45 tax credits for renewable electricity sources in the Senate bill was included, but it was scaled back to just two years at a cost of just over $2.5 billion. Alternative fuels and vehicle credits in the Senate bill were scaled back to just over $1 billion, while $1.3 billion was set aside for energy efficiency and conservation. Those provisions include new credits for both residential and business fuel and solar cells, energy-efficient commercial property, and energy-efficient appliances.
But Congress knows where to draw the line:
The House was forced to drop a $375 million provision allowing the two-year amortization of rental payments, while the Senate lost several, including a $1.4 billion enhanced oil recovery credit, a $500 million clean coal bonds provision, and a $7 million credit championed by Senate Finance Committee ranking minority member Max Baucus, D-Mont., for retrofitted wood stoves.
Somehow our Nation will have to achieve energy self-sufficiency with un-retrofitted wood stoves. Disgraceful.

A deal on proportional representation for local government has angered the body which represents the majority of Scotland's local authorities.
The measure forms part of the coalition government deal between Labour and the Liberal Democrats, which has gained both parties' backing.
Lib Dem leader Jim Wallace said that there would "unequivocally" be PR voting for councils by 2007.
But the mainly Labour Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) has voiced its opposition to the adoption of proportional representation.
The single transferable vote system will see the creation of larger wards represented by three or four councillors.
Pat Watters, the president of Cosla, condemned the move, saying it had been agreed through "behind the scenes deals".
"It's been decided in a closed room by two parties to try and drive this forward," said Mr Watters.
"It is not going to serve the people of Scotland having more distance between their elected councillor and the people who elect them.
"This is an arrangement where we were supposed to be in partnership with the executive, in how we drove forward both the executive national plans and our local plans, we see that as in tatters now."
The move was also opposed by Labour MSP Elaine Smith.
Minority government
"It is about accountability and the link between the councillor and the ward.
"My fear is that under the proposed system we would lose that accountability," she said.
Ms Smith argued that Labour could have attempted to run Holyrood as a minority government rather than strike a coalition deal with the Lib Dems.
However, her party colleague Andy Kerr, who was finance minister in the previous Scottish Executive, said the parliament needed stability rather than the "chaos" of a minority government.
Mr Kerr admitted it was "unfortunate" that Labour had been left in a position where it had to enter into a coalition.
"We made our views known about electoral reform and we've had to set that against our ability to deliver for communities throughout Scotland on anti-social behaviour, youth crime and the real priorities of the Scottish people," he said.
However, the agreement on PR was welcomed by Labour councillor Andrew Burns, who chairs the all-party campaigning group Fairshare.
He said it would "reinvigorate" local democracy in Scotland.
"It will put power back in the hands of the voter and take power away from the party machines, and that is what scares a lot of my colleagues," he said.
Scottish National Party leader John Swinney said the deal contained "no new strategy" to boost the economy and advised the coalition to embrace his party's ideas.
And Tory leader David McLetchie said: "Labour and the Lib Dems should now stop insulting the voters of Scotland by doing the honest thing and merging."

A solution of cuprous chloride which has absorbed CO gives it up on being treated with potassic bichromate and acid.
Those are chromic acid, cuprous chloride (sub- or proto-chloride of copper), and bleaching- powder.
The cupric salts are much the more common of the two, since the cuprous salts pass readily into cupric by oxidation.
Firstly, by no means all bronzes which have been dug up, even though from the same excavation, show the layer of cuprous oxide.
In a general way, according to the later authors, they were largely lead oxide, and contained from 5% to 20% cuprous oxide.
It contains chlorine, apparently as cuprous chloride, sometimes in considerable quantity.
The metal itself is to a greater or less depth converted into cuprous oxide.
A slow reaction takes place and a double compound of cuprous chloride and sodium chloride is formed.
"Frankoline," a mixture of cuprous and ferric chlorides dissolved in strong hydrochloric acid absorbed in infusorial earth.
A and B give no evidence of sugar, while C reduces the Fehling, giving a yellow or red deposit of cuprous oxide.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
News of doom and gloom certainly brings out the very worst in some people—not to mention businesses. If there was ever a time to take a hard look at everything you do, everyone you employ and every strategic move you make, it's now. The lackluster economy has given rise to a new wave of excuses and, I might add, some pretty bad marketing decisions. Here are nine strategies to consider as this year unfolds:

 • For 2009, be conservative. Take last year's annual sales figures and subtract 5 percent. Now, calculate 6 percent of that figure to determine your 2009 marketing budget. (Obviously, if you find things are better than expected, you can always add to the budget come October.) Instead of looking at the previous year alone, determine trends by studying monthly averages over the past six years. This will provide more insight into how your store is doing and will pinpoint which months are generally better for business.

 • Hold onto your broad-based media dollars and start some heavy negotiations in the late summer months for the upcoming third and fourth quarters. Media outlets are having a rough time. In the summer, they will be forecasting those quarters ahead, and knowing that the first half of their year was down, they're going to be aggressive.

 • Make sure to hold a minimum of one—if not two—events every quarter and make sure they are guaranteed to drive traffic and a measurable return on investment (ROI). This might require a decrease in your broader-based initiatives that are more difficult to measure, such as general image advertising in broadcasting, outdoor and print. Just remember: Decrease-don't delete.

 • Contact your best vendors that currently provide co-op advertising. Although many traffic-building events are not typically approved for co-op, remind your sales and marketing rep that these are not "typical" times. A five-second tag on the end of their television commercial or a 10-point logo in a magazine is simply not going to cut it. Really, don't you both have the same objective?

 • Ignore the "D" word: discounting. Instead of slashing prices, provide added value and incentives that are not directly connected to lowering prices.

 • Make it a priority to capture 60 to 80 percent of the e-mails of your preferred customers. Make the "ask" part of your sale and make sure that every piece of direct mail has a data capture area. When you secure at least 1,000 e-mails, get on a monthly e-blast program that can track open rates and click-through rates.

 • Be up on technology and determine trends and buying habits by knowing what your primary demographic is reading, watching and listening to. I can't believe I still have to say this, but invest in a Web site that provides adequate information on your store. Then set aside at least 10 percent of your marketing budget for paid search advertising to drive traffic to that site.

 • Make morning meetings, whether they last 10 minutes or half an hour, mandatory. In each meeting, have your sales staff review at least five customer profiles and purchase histories each day. Take digital photos of products this client would like and send them to him/her with a note: "Ellen, this necklace just came in, and I thought of how great this would look with those earrings you purchased last year." Provide information about the piece and the price.

 • Stop taking marketing ideas from every Tom, Dick, Harry and jeweler friend you have. A tactic that works for them does not constitute a brilliant idea for you. If it's worth considering, then it should fit your strategy and budget. And you might want to discuss it with your marketing/advertising agency and partner. A true professional should provide you with solid advice.

 None of the items above are suggestions that I haven't made before. These are common-sense marketing strategies. In theory, you should already be doing all nine. You're not? Well, we get a little sloppy when we're fat and happy.

"This means that the site will include profiles of people who do not define themselves as Neoconservatives and indeed those who are not Neoconservative. Just as many neoconservatives moved from the left to the right of the political spectrum, people and organisations which have been or are associated with or have or do work in or with neoconservative led initiatives, can and do move in their political alliances and activities. Thus there are profiles in this database of people who are not neoconservatives and may no longer be associated or connected with neoconservative networks or inititatives. In addition there are a number of 'stub' pages which serve simply to direct the reader to resources on relevant people and organisations that do not come within the definition above. Te existence of such pages should not be taken to indicate any contention that such people or organisations are neoconservative or directly connected to neoconservatism or its networks."

And, yet, what have your posts been dominated by, if not a Trotskyist world-view (influenced by Strauss) being used to support very right-wing policies?
Apart from "everything", obviously. On the surface.
But you shouldn't forget that these people can actually read minds. They know that when you write of decentralisation, it's all code. What you're *actually* writing is lurid praise of Irving Kristol.
That, as I'm sure you'll understand, is the only logical explanation.

I think the problem is that you keep signing these manifestoes. If you sign documents advocating neoconservative policies, people tend to miss the real reason (which was presumably ignorance, Special Brew, trying to impress a bird or something, since I take you at your word that you aren't a neoconservative) and assume that you signed them because you agree with them.

Not quite. Most gigabit cards are supported (or should I say most good ones).
From the kernel config:
# Gigabit Ethernet NICs.

But that does exclude that Realtek 8169, which is in the re driver,
new in FreeBSD 5.2. Personally I'd trash the thing (and the vast
majority of this list will say the same) and replace with an Intel or
something else (regardless of if it were supported or not). Realtek
is widely known for junk cards. The $30 USD or so will save you a lot
of headaches down the road no matter what OS you run.
For the old D-Link, it uses the ed driver which is there. It's set
for the following port, IRQ, etc. There's probably jumpers on the
card, or some sort of software for the card like a DOS utility to
force it to use these settings. I'd try that first.

The people were taken to a hospital in Pachuca, 96 kilometres north of Mexico City, not far from the small town where the truck and the material, cobalt 60, were found on Wednesday after armed robbers stole the truck on Monday.
One of the people, a 16-year-old boy, was vomiting and had signs of radiation sickness, while the others were taken to the hospital as a precaution before all were cleared and turned over to the federal police.
The material – hospital waste being transported from Tijuana to a repository near Mexico City – is often cited as a potential ingredient in a dirty bomb, a combination of explosives and radioactive material, although Mexican and US officials said the theft appeared to be a common crime and not related to terrorism.
Authorities confirmed on Friday that two of the men were suspected of carrying out the robbery and that four others belonged to a gang that might have been complicit in it, although it remained unclear if they wanted the truck, the cobalt or both. It was unclear how the police connected the men to the case.
The cobalt 60, which was in a sealed container in a locked box, was found a couple of hundred metres from the truck. Exposure to the material for a few minutes would cause illness and exposure for a few hours could deliver a lethal dose of radiation.
Several members of a family who reported finding the container were checked and cleared by doctors.
The truck carrying the cobalt 60 was taken from a petrol station. Mexican nuclear safety commission officials said the transport company violated procedures by not properly safeguarding the truck and its contents.

I posted a thread in "Books etc." with a very, very sketchy synopsis of a book I read about 10 years ago but couldn't remember the author or title. Within 24 hours a lovely member had guessed the title and I managed to get a copy delivered from Amazon. Am now half way thorugh the book and thoroughly enjoying re-reading it.
Where else could you get a service like that?! Good old EB.

Mine was also a book title. I read in highschool and couldn't remember.

Someone asked for solutions for her scaly, dry foot about 2 weeks ago. There were some fascinatingly gruesome descriptions of Milky Foot mentioned.
I did it 2 weeks ago and after some excessive shedding I now have soft, milky feet! I never knew it was possible.

It remains the nicest thing the internet has ever done for me!
Oh and - no, NO the Marmite-tastrophe still isn't over!

My DS was born teeny tiny with IUGR due to my pre eclampsia. During the winter I needed to have him close for warmth but get on with things around the house and play with my then 19mo toddler.
I was recommended the Sleepywrap sling by EBers who replied to my thread and I thank them from bottom of my heart. It was the best $80 I ever spent. DS was happy, safe and cosy, DD was happy as I could play and tend to her and I was happy as I had happy kids.
Even as a chunky 8mo now, DS's eyes light up when I get it out as he knows a walk and a cuddle are coming.

An EB member invited me to her home to discuss poo. I think that takes a pretty special person.

a member stepped in and saved our dummy crisis when 'happy baby' dummies had a halt on manufacture/supply and we weren't ready to give them up.
She sent us a pack she had in the back of her cupboard, which got us through to when the dummies were re-stocked again.

The truly lovely Lucretia Borgia recently helped me out of a massive bind with a hard-to-find book at her own expense. I think I will her forever!
I've been helped with advice and support in lots and lots of ways over the years I've been around, directly and indirectly.
Most recently was the deep toilet clean a couple of hours ago

Too many things. Mostly, a wonderful support network of women who have tragically lost a baby like me. I don't know what I would have don't without them.
EB also got me hooked on MCNs which has led to our own business and baby wearing which was a godsend for newborn time.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 05:33 PM
Happy to help
I have had heaps of advice from various members.....probably most helpful was how to get blue tack out of a baby's very fine hair (thank you DS 1) ....baby oil in case you are wondering....
But just in general, EB relieves me of the boredom and tedium of motherhood.....it's great to come on here to have a laugh, a b1tch about something, engage in some good ol political or religious argy bargy ...or just get a sympathetic ear from someone.
It's also good at kicking your ass back to reality if you've ventured into princess territory....

I have had fantastic recovery advice from EB for my wisdom teeth removal and my DH's tonsil removal. The hints and advice I got really made a difference and helped the recoveries to be faster and easier.
The best hint overall was about the Waterpik water flosser. I was having trouble properly flushing out the holes left from my wisdom teeth removal and asked for help and how long would the holes last. Someone mentioned the Waterpik. I bought one the next day and OMG, the food that I got out of my tooth holes! There was a entire white watermelon seed in there under other food that I had no idea about. That was $150 very well spent.
FTR, it took about 4 months for the holes to heal up to the point that I no longer need to flush them.

Not me but my daughter. She had been looking everywhere for a mini-armchair to match the one she already had.
She posted the problem on EB and within no time at all was advised of where she could get one not far from home. That was a couple of years ago. Chair going strong. I just thought that was magic.
EB is magic. The collective knowledge and wisdom is gobsmacking; should be the first port of call for all manner of things.
What I enjoy the most is the work of the gifted humourists. So many giggles! So much fun!

Too many little things to recount, plus the fact that I like to hoover up information means that I've been able to help friends all over the place with advice and info. 'How do you know that?!?!?!' they ask.

Diva cup
I have met a couple of wonderful strong women IRL through EB
Various dress sites that I will one day order from... (My Presbyterian streak that stops me eating a whole packet of biscuits also stops most impulse buying.. .)
Support and advice re: toilet training, quirky behaviour, menu planning, dealing with miscarriage etc etc.
Lots of great recipes and advice re: DS's food allergies and how to adapt or make new recipes. I remember one mum emailing me a list of safe and unsafe foods when it was all very new to me
And, possibly the most important thing: that there are wonderful women out there who do not agree with me on everything and it doesn't make them wrong or me wrong and it doesn't mean I can't still admire them. Particularly discussions on religion, working or not working, diet and fitness and some recent discussions on what it means to be a woman have opened me up to other points of view that I now see the reasoning behind even if I still vehemently disagree.
Wow, that was an essay!

Years ago EB got me onto Moo Goo as a way to get rid of Cradle Crap. Yes I still use it on my 5.5yo.
EB put me onto Pepperberry (bank account does not thank you though).
Just general good advice and other ways of looking at things.

Lunette cup - what a revelation!
So many recommended books.
Lots of ideas and resources to reduce gluten in my diet.
.. And what was of greatest value was support, understanding and information following my heartbreaking miscarriage in October last year.

A lovely member named Roy G Biv responded to my plea for help. My son lost his most loved toy puppy on a flight to Melbourne. Roy G Biv located one in a store and sent it to me at no cost to myself. I also recieved a lovely photo of their children with puppy. It blew my mind. Puppy is still much loved.
Also my DIG's. I'm still in contact with the ladies from both but the 2010 group are very close. It's probably the safest place I can speak and feel accepted. They are amazing woman with the most beautiful toddlers.

You may have a travel agent do similar things as a business travel chief without having to spend thousands doing it. By doing this makes your net result more profit-making. Permit me to ask you, would you prefer to spend 73,000 or ten thousand? The duties of a travel executive are to select transport and lodging for company staff, counsel about passport and passport restrictions, rates of forex, all things that a travel advisor is doing. Extra benefits of getting a trip agent is they can handle convention planning and group holiday organisation for staff. By out sourcing and contracting a tour agent over a travel boss, you aren't only saving from paying a huge income, but you also save by not needing to provide benefits like medicare and retirement. These could bring the price of engaging a business travel boss to well over $100,000.
Inexpensive vacations are open to you for a price smaller than the regular. They're available for different destinations. By taking up them, you have entitlement to 2 things – one is the vacation at the place you need to and the 2nd is the cash you save on the offer. There are some net trip agents who do it for you. The web sites and online trip advisors aid you in deciding the offer that you need. They supply comparison of the diverse vacations on the web sites. The choice of these vacations will rely upon many considerations like your financial position, facilities, excellent value for example. Local trip agents can also aid you in looking and picking such vacations. You can learn about it from online and local classifieds by the tour operators. See what are the things and items essentially covered in the offer.
Often some inexpensive vacation offers say some thing in a way which isn't clear. Find out stuff like airfares, room, hotel hires, other traveling costs, meals etc are covered or not. How, when, and where travel is scheduled whether offline or web-based is vital when talking about saving cash on your business travel. Its time we get smart and trim the wasted fat. Wouldnt you rather spend the cash expanding your company than hiring somebody thats possibly watching out for them self rather the company? When looking out for a travel service for your company ensure that they have motivation and rewards programs.

Exports sparkle as trade deficit narrows
Overseas demand for British-made jewellery and cars boosted the country's exports in March, lifting government hopes of hitting its ambitious target for international sales.
Demand for jewellery jumped by £200 million over the month while overseas sales of cars rose £100 million, lifting overall goods exports by 4.9 per cent to £24.6 billion in March, the fastest pace of growth since July 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The figures also showed that the trade deficit on goods and services narrowed from £1.7 billion in February to £1.3 billion in March in a fillip for the government and its plan to double exports to £1 trillion by 2020.
There were also finally signs that demand for British goods was growing on both sides…

Females in the new gun culture
Growing up a boy in the south in the 1970s and 80s, I spent my formative years on hunting trips and expeditions to the local unofficial shooting range. These trips, no matter what, were always unquestioningly males only. It was only in my late teens that I came face to face with the concept of females in the shooting sports when I met female members of my high school rifle team. Well, times, they are a changing.
Ground-up reinvention
Back then, I was issued the standard set of toys that many young men in my age group were. These included a Stretch Armstrong, green army men in a bag, Star Wars figures, and a wide array of cap guns and water pistols. As I grew older, Stretch broke, the army men suffered in backyard campaigns in battles whose names are long ago forgotten, the heads came off the Star Wars figures, and the cap guns and water pistols wore out.
Then came a pellet rifles and BB guns. Meanwhile, female cousins were equipped with Barbie dolls of various sorts, tea sets, and items that I do not know the names of. This is how it was. This is likely why I never saw females on hunting trips or at the local range growing up.
That, however, was then. Today, toys are aimed at wider groups of kids. You want to know what Hasbro's bestselling toy is right now? Nerf guns for girls.
Yup, the Nerf Rebelle line, launched last fall that includes some 22 different bows, crossbows, and blasters that fire foam darts is made to appeal not to that dirty faced little boy, but to the little girls out there. With swirly artwork and bright colors, they are flying off the shelves.
(The Nerf Rebelle line of foam firing gatts for little girls.)
And they are still guns, for girls. Starting in the single digits.
Introduction to the real thing
Sometime in the past twenty years fathers and grandfathers, mothers and grandmothers, collectively have begun including young girls in things that they didn't used to. When I became a father in the mid-1990s, I taught my daughter how to shoot, first with air guns, then rim fire and later centerfire guns.
Moreover, I'm not the only one. As I was on the (official) range with my girl, I noticed others passing on the gift that is the shooting sports as well. As an adult now, she has her own guns and shoots often. It's just how she was raised.
Today, when I got shooting at public ranges, its no longer all men and boys, its the whole demographic from old to young, rich to poor, Republican to Democrat, boys to girls. And I couldn't be happier.
When a proposed law came out in Iowa this month that pushed to restrict handgun use to those over 14 years of age, its biggest and most effective critics were not a high-powered lobby group, but a pair of prepubescent women.
Meredith and Natalie Gibson, aged 8 and 10, have been shooting since they were five. After making this video and launching a social media campaign, the Iowa bill died and youth with parental supervision can continue to shoot handguns in the state.
And they aren't alone.
According to data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, America's next generation of target shooters are increasingly younger, urban, and female.
(Photo credit: Minot Daily News)
The demographics of new shooters show they are . . .
Younger: 66 percent of new shooters fall into the 18-to-34-year-old category compared to 31 percent in the same age category for established shooters.
Female: 37 percent of new target shooters are female compared to 22 percent of established target shooters.
Urban: 47 percent of new target shooters live in urban/suburban settings versus 34 percent of established target shooters.
Mainstream role models
Back in the day, with the exception of trick shooters like Anne Oakley, there were almost no well-known women in the shooting sports. This has done a complete 180 in recent years. Today from outdoors television hosts like Haley Heath to competition shooters like Julie Golob and Jesse Duff are household names to those who follow that sport.
(Jamie Grey, 2008 US Olympic shooter, photo credit USA Shooting)
In the NCAA college rifle competitions, women are ruling the range these days, which is surprising considering the first modern female shooters, only started competing in the 1970s. Since 1976, female shooters have been regularly making it count in the medal department at the International Olympics.
This month's Field and Stream magazine, that icon of outdoors illustrated periodicals that stretches back 119 years, featured a female hunter on the cover.
Archer, hunter and TV host Eva Shockey was only the second woman to ever fill the cover, the first being Queen Elizabeth in 1976. Clad in camo and equipped with her bow, Shockey is an instant icon to any little girl who would see her staring back confidently from the newsstands.
And we care to guess that she will not be the last.

3D Printed Car Is Half The Weight But Just As Safe
Jim Kor has created the Urbee 2, a three-wheel, two-seater design that takes 2,500 hours to print.
Could we soon be driving a 3D printed car to our 3D printed house and eating 3D printed food for dinner? Jim Kor, who heads Kor Ecologic, has created a 3D printed car called the Urbee 2.
We saw the first design, Urbee, back in 2010. This updated three-wheel, two-seater vehicle is 10 feet long and takes a total of 2,500 hours to print from start to finish. Urbee 2 has a lightweight construction, weighing just 1,200 pounds.
The design puts a tubular metal cage around the driver and Kor is making safety a priority, saying he wants the car to be as safe as the ones that race at Le Mans. Wired provides more details about Urbee 2:
Kor and his team built the three-wheel, two-passenger vehicle at RedEye, an on-demand 3-D printing facility. The printers he uses create ABS plastic via Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The printer sprays molten polymer to build the chassis layer by microscopic layer until it arrives at the complete object. The machines are so automated that the building process they perform is known as "lights out" construction, meaning Kor uploads the design for a bumper, walk away, shut off the lights and leaves. A few hundred hours later, he's got a bumper.

An optical illusion or visual illusion is a perception deception of vision.
Optical illusions can affect virtually all aspects of vision. There are deep illusions, color illusions, geometric illusions, motion illusions, and some more. In all these cases, the visual system appears to be incorrect assumptions about the nature of the visual stimulus to hit as it can be shown with the aid of other senses, or by removing the triggering factors.
Optical illusions are examined in the psychology of perception, because from them conclusions about the processing of sensory stimuli in the brain can be obtained. Optical illusions are based on the fact that the perception is subjective and is influenced by the brain (see top-down and bottom-up). Systematically produced and analyzed optical illusions in the Gestalt psychology.

The menu includes tandoor-baked skewers of marinated shrimp ($18) and the sautéed paneer makhani's housemade cheese and fresh coriander garnish ($14).
Aromas of sizzling meats fill Mela's dining room as patrons sear helpings of marinated lamb chops, scallops, or Atlantic salmon at their tables with hot oiled stones. To supplement the patron-grilled dishes, chefs lend their culinary expertise while baking skewered meats and pillowy naan in a traditional tandoor oven and sautéing lentils and vegetables in a fragrant confetti of herbs and Indian spices. They tailor the amount of heat in each entree to accommodate each diner's preferences, preparing mild, savory dishes as well as meals with enough heat to vaporize an army of snowmen.
Salmon-pink drapes line the dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows, lending a soft touch to the stone flooring and walls lined in sheets of hammered copper.
