Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: Are you an introvert who leaves the party early because you need time away from people to recharge? Or are you just really ambitious and ready to move on to more invigorating projects than clubbing? It could be both... Five years into your marriage-tracked relationship and you've both agreed to save your virginity until the wedding night. And then your significant other drops a bombshell: they haven't been a virgin since before you started dating. Now what? The family who listens to the AoC podcast together stays together! (Or at least engages in regular discussions instead of constant arguments.) If a reason-based atheist withdraws from a group of bunk-believing old friends and there's no herbal remedy around to cure his melancholy, does his aura change color? A doctor who listens to the show reminds men with low libidos to get testosterone and estradiol levels checked -- aromatization might be converting what seems to be a normal level of testosterone into estrogen. "Even in younger guys," she says, "this is an increasingly huge problem because of all of the endocrine disrupting chemicals in our world." If you're dating someone you consider "out of your league," is it possible you're giving them too much of a benefit of the doubt when they're waving every shade of red flag directly in your face? A quick shoutout to Drew Mistak, photographer (your email bounced back to Jordan when he tried to connect you to Hines Ward). Also to Stephen Cristopher, who's starting his own show to help others with their small businesses! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Man's Pearls of Wisdom
- When I was born, I was given a choice -- a big dick or a good memory. I don't remember which one I chose.
- Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.
- A wife is a sex object. Every time you ask for sex, she objects.
- Impotence: Nature's way of saying 'No hard feelings...'
- There are only two four letter words that are offensive to men -- 'don't' and 'stop;' -- unless, of course, they are used together.
- Panties: Not the best thing on earth, but NEXT TO the best thing on earth.
- There are three stages of sex in a man's life: TriWeekly, Try Weekly and Try Weakly.
- Virginity can be cured. And I have its cure with me!
- Virginity is not dignity, it's a lack of opportunity.
- Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.
- I tried phone sex once, but the holes in the dial were too small for me.
- Marriage is the only war where you get to sleep with the enemy.
- What's an Australian kiss? The same thing as a French kiss, only given 'down under.'
- A couple who had just married were happy with the whole thing. He was happy with the hole and she was happy with the thing......
- What are the three biggest tragedies in a mans life? Life sucks, job sucks, the wife doesn't.
- Why do men find it difficult to make eye contact? Breasts don't have eyes.
- Despite the old saying, 'Don't take your troubles to bed,' many married men still sleep with their wives!!

Arab Way
An Arab student sends an e-mail to his dad, saying:
Dear Dad
Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad, I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college with my pure-gold Ferrari 599GTB
when all my teachers and many fellow students travel by train.
Your son, Nasser
The next day, Nasser gets a reply to his e-mail from his dad:
My dear loving son
Twenty million US Dollar has just been transferred to your account. Please stop embarrassing us. Go and get yourself a train too.
Love, your Dad

11 Tips for Managers
- Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00pm and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing
- If it's really a "rush job", run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.
- Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
- Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.
- If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. I like being a psychic.
- Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.
- If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.
- If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.
- If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.
- Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
- Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

Worlds Largest Model Rocket
This is a picture of the 36-foot tall, 1,600lb beast about to take to the skies. There's a couple more pictures and a video of the launch after the jump, so be sure to check that out.
The Bamboo Car
Developed by Kyoto University Venture Business Laboratory, Bambgoo is a fully functional vehicle that runs for 50 kilometers on a single charge. This ecological concept car is 270 cm long, 130 cm wide, 165 cm high and only 60 kg heavy. That's what's so special about Bambgoo, its body is made out of bamboo. If you happen to pass through Japan these days, you might want to check it out and maybe even take it for a short drive-test.
Lots to Brag About!
Hello Everyone!
We just wanted to take a minute or two to brag. The SydesJokes account on Twitter just passed 31,000 followers! And one of our followers is Ashton Kutcher (http://twitter.com/aplusk)! He only follows 587 people so it's a real honor. If you haven't started following us yet, take a minute to check us out:
SydesJokes is the Number 1 Twitter user in Helsinki - Finland, surpassing even Nokia (http://twitter.com/Nokia) and H_Kovalainen (http://twitter.com/H_Kovalainen) the F1 Racing driver, currently driving for Lotus F1 Racing.
To make posting stuff easier, we just created over 13,000 bit.ly links of the stuff on our joke website. More good things on the horizon! Stay tuned!
Best Regards,

Virginia Perry assisted us to plan my daughter's bridal shower. Being from out of town, this was anticipated to be a somewhat stressful challenge. Virginia made everything flow so smoothly, guiding us through the menu planning, flow of events, and arrangement of the room to best suit our needs. I truely was able to relax and enjoy the event! She offered us excellent room accomodations and prices for the out of town guests and everyone raved about the hotel; from food to the room. The staff was extremely helpful since I had many decorative items including cut flowers which they stored for me overnight in their walk in refrigerator. The ballrooms are beautiful and over look a courtyard with landscaping and privacy. The restaurant staff were so pleasant and attentive. You felt like you knew them by the end of the stay! And the made to order omelets or french toast was terrific! All for a very reasonable price since it is all you can eat! Not one thing I can say about this place! Strongly recommend. Did not have time to use the pool which I regret but maybe next time.

In 1999, Chinese leader Jiang Zemin implemented a program to eliminate the practice of Falun Gong from the country. This persecution developed into a program of mass arrests, "re-education" through torture, executions and widespread allegations of organ harvesting for the medical market. A change in China's courts has allowed those who suffered to file complaints, and many are doing so.
Host: Kerry Foster
Featured Speakers/Guests: Zhao Hongyun, Cindy Song, and Wang Junhua are survivors of torture; Sheng Xue is an award-winning Canadian journalist; Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) introduced a resolution condemning organ harvesting from prisoners in China.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3's new software features detailed
0. phoneArena posted on 04 Sep 2013, 14:43
It's quite possible that we're still affected by the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that took place just moments ago, but we're going to say it nevertheless: past the bleeding edge hardware, the new functionality that is set to come with the TouchWiz version loaded on the Note 3 has us truly intrigued...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

The new multi-window is a welcome upgrade.

Wonder if the air command and air view works with fingers too !!
27. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
That would be cool if it would work, but I doubt it. Air view with fingers is 100x better and more practical than always relying on a stylus. I hate how you need the S-pen to use the new Pen Multitasking Window while on the G2 the pop-up apps are easily and much more quickly accessible via the pull-down menu. Just doesn't make much sense.

I love note 3 my next phone for sure ♥
3. ianbbaa (Posts: 332; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
In the leaked pic of system apks, there was also ANT+ service apks, but not mentioned so far if NOTE3 has ANT+ support. Any clue??? I was happy to see ANT+service.apk in the system dump...
Anyway, nice device, nice functions, they take it right, if bloat or not, additional software is that what makes them shine. Evernote functionality - hopefully premium subscribtion for nopte buyers...customed twitter app for note 10,1...+ powerfull hardware...SAMSUNG put into shame all of those others...
4. timukh (Posts: 295; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Awesome device! In terms of specs and software it launches like a boss, but seriously samsung pls pls do change the design. Its not bad but not really an eye catcher!

The note series aren't for me simply due to its size, but I am attracted to the leather on the back. Gorgeous. I'd love that on an S4. Finally a samsung flagship with some luxury feeling and design to it.
25. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Size will definitely be an issue for a lot of people. I think the larger screen size will be an issue as well. With 5.7 inches, the Note 3 is at the awkward stage where its oversized for the typical smartphone apps in the Play Store while still unable to run tablet apps. Just doesn't make much sense.
32. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2236; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
It's funny, but the same people who will diss 720p as "not good enough" are the ones who will say "Android apps scale just fine." No, they do not, and while it may not be as pronounced as it is on tablets (Umm, awful?), it WILL be more noticeable than the difference between 720p and 1080p at 12".

being updated with 4.3 out of the box is good rather than 4.2.2 then receive 4.3 update next year
8. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Just a question.. why would you write the name and the phone number and then use action memo while u can save the contact directly to ur phone storage??
9. alexfiran (Posts: 40; Member since: 13 Jun 2013)
you're perfectly right. it's a lor easier just to write the number directly to your addressbook
18. ianbbaa (Posts: 332; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
what if it is just a single call of somebody that I just don't want to have in my contacts...make a note, probably you better make a folder in that snote app where you will throw all of these single call number notes and you phone book is clear of unnecessary contacts...In case you added a memo/tag to that number you just noted, you probably will be able to find it even after year in your rubbish folder on snote app...I like to have my phone book c
an and organized...no single callers in there
21. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Really u want ur phone book clear but your note no?!
save it on ur phone book it's better you have at least 100 contact on ur phone so it 1% probability to see him while on ur notes its probability is much bigger at least 50%
oh another solution save it and after the call delete DUH!
39. joey_sfb (Posts: 6608; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
I write down to give the other party a miss call to exchange contact.
10. Sauce (unregistered)
I could see this practical use:
At Dunkin Donuts for some coffee. Bump into an old friend. Quickly whip out my phone and -write- down his number, in a rush to leave, order, etc. Later on upon arrival to my home, I open action memo and tap his number, calling him.
11. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
why don't you dial his number and hangup then go to your home save it and call him :P
Admit it this feature has no sense
13. DaNTRoN (Posts: 135; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
You don't even need to call and hang up. Just put the number in dial pad and press home button. When you get home, open dial pad....
14. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
haha good point
42. rodm963 (Posts: 1; Member since: 05 Sep 2013)
I dint know why you guys are fighting about something you don't understand the ability to pull the pen it opens the app you write its there.if you didn't place the call you receive another call bam its gone oops
17. Sauce (unregistered)
Very true, but what if I wanted to write this down, and could do it at a surprisingly fast rate?:
Mike Hunt
Call back for estimates
19. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Is this a real number?? :P
save it with a reminder it's better.. you may forget that note thing :P
35. iushnt (Posts: 2260; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
u know writing is much easier and practical, When i need to note a number in hurry i still look for pen and paper if i am indoors.(working in office or studying) it may not be same with you but you should respect others preference too
12. Myrith (Posts: 57; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
Heh, good point. Although, jotting something down is frequently a lot faster than typing, at least for me. (Which is why I use S Note instead of Springpad.) You might need to get the number quickly and then transfer to contacts later.
15. jad.boutary (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
to do so u have to take off the pen from its location in that time you had dialed the number and finished :P
20. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Exactly. Pushing buttons with your thumb is also a whole lot faster than having to actually write on the screen.
36. iushnt (Posts: 2260; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
believe me, if you haven't tried taking notes on galaxy notes using spen then try it. you will know what others are saying :)
43. McLTE (Posts: 922; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
lol.. you guys are like a bunch of 5yr old kids arguing on the playground.
Summary: There are a MANY ways to record someone's phone number - I'm surprised you haven't said to send a text to yourself with the data - or email.. or.. or..
The bottom line is that the S-pen is useful and this feature IS and will be useful to some people.
Someone wants to give you their number and all you need to do is pull out the S-pen and the note is right there to write on. Can jot a note as well as the number, then save it for later.
You go ahead and use the dialer.. and when you receive a call before you get home and call the person, or forget and reboot your phone, or it crashes.. then what?

text: More killer LA punk from the Verdugo Discos label. Destruye Y Huye remind me quite a little bit of Ultimo Resorte in the way that that they have this sound that, at times, sounds like it's splitting the difference between really basic Riot City-style punk and a more brooding style of post-punk, and of course they have those infectious, high-pitched lady vox. That said, the harder parts of this are way harder than that comparison would lead you to believe, verging on the raw, primal hardcore of bands like DHK. It's an interesting combination, and definitely makes Destruye Y Huye stick out from the pack... recommended.

The Danger Game(2014)
(The second book in the Travis Delaney Investigates series)
A novel by Kevin Brooks
Thirteen-year-old Travis is still trying to get his life back on track following the death of his parents. But he can't shake the feeling that the crash that killed them wasn't an accident. He's trying to stop obsessing about it by solving a petty-thieving spree at school, but the distraction isn't enough. Especially when he begins to suspect that there's a traitor at the heart of the private detective business his parents ran - and that that traitor sold his parents out. The question is why? Once Travis starts thinking like this, he quickly starts to feel that he can't trust anybody, not even his closest allies.

Now that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has finally been officially revealed to the world, we have something to compare against what has been presented for far for Battlefield 3, its prime competitor. Both games will share a dangerously close release date in the fall and Electronic Arts is trying their hardest to take the the top spot away from Activision.
As we slowly learn more details about each game, we can see how true or how off the mark Electronic Arts' words are that Battlefield 3 is "superior" to Call of Duty. Let's start with each's co-operative gameplay options.
Early in the year it was confirmed that Battlefield 3 will definitely have 4-player co-op, but whether that is a separate mode or actually the entire campaign is still a point of contention with conflicting reports. We certainly hope that the full campaign can be played with friends as well as solo.
Modern Warfare 3 on the other hand is bringing back the Spec Ops mode from MW2 but with some changes. The early leaked info of Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer maps let us know that Spec Ops mode will feature both the 'Missions' mode we're familiar with and a new 'Survival' mode which pits players against wave of incoming enemies. As for campaign co-op, all we have are the following very unspecific words from Glen Schofield, VP and General Manager of Sledgehammer Games:
"The single player campaign is just one aspect of the much, much larger game of Modern Warfare 3… Aside from the campaign we have Spec Ops, two-player co-op which we're going to bring back to Modern Warfare 3 in a very big way, and of course multiplayer, which is just amazing in itself."
So, does that mean co-op is part the campaign or is Mr. Schofield referring to one of the two Spec Ops mode? We assume he's referring to the the Spec Ops 'Missions' mode which was two-player in Modern Warfare 2. It will reportedly be heavily built upon for their next title.
Strangely, even though Modern Warfare 3 represents the third Call of Duty game since Treyarch brought us World at War, the franchise still isn't supporting 4-player co-op. World at War did it, why haven't they refined it since? The Ghost Recon, Gears of War and Operation Flashpoint franchises are bringing full campaign four-player co-op with their next titles so it's surprising and a tad disappointing that the two biggest players in the FPS genre may not be including it, even after all these iterations. Keep in mind, some reports do say Battlefield 3 has 4-player co-op campaign play which would be epic, but we don't have official confirmation on that.
We'll have to wait and see at E3 what they mean by co-op play and whether the Modern Warfare 3 development teams have truly taken enough strides forward in its multiplayer and co-op mode content.
Whatever these games do include in terms of co-op play, they better allow for at least 2-player splitscreen with system link that allows 2 players per console. No more of this forced online nonsense and 4 TVs if we want to play 4-player locally.
For now, compare the graphics and animations of these two games with our Battlefield 3 vs. Modern Warfare 3 falling buildings videos.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hits all major platforms on November 8, 2011.

I have been working at Child Development full-time (More than 8 years)
If you are liked by the upper management then you have a job (lousy pay) for life. Because they don't hold managers responsible nor do they evaluate these manager's lackluster decisions, so they have no idea where they are going. It's kinda sad because if they listen to the people that have been successful in assisting other companies, then they could really make a difference and pay their employees a decent wage and give them the promised (5 years now) raises. But for some unknown reason this non-profit company has been around for sometime now, so they keep pouring good money after bad. I will be retiring soon and feel a little guilty because none of us were able to help but kept the status quo. I have a lot of friends here.
They recently hired a Chief Business Officer whose Capella (online) degree is lacking in actually know how and leadership! This is the highest grade she has obtained and her ego allows her to chop heads based on personality alone. The company is full of long term (3+) temporary workers (low pay, no benefits, no respect) and on any given Friday can be told to not report on Monday which happens more than I would like to recall.
Advice to Management
Hold off removing good people until the new gal can prove her mettle. If you continue year-after-year losing money... then start deleting folks from the top and not those following orders.

good health benefits and professional growth opportunities. They allow staffs to achieve free training. They have paid holidays.
no pay raise... although they have been hiring multiple positions in the company. I've moved up in my position for one and a half years but did not see a pay raise. I have continued to push for my raise but was denied by HR.

Increase pay raise will allow companies to keep good hard working staffs.

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, the White House has announced that Obama has decided to send Attorney General Eric Holder To Ferguson, Missouri. In an attempt to sort out the case a bit quicker, and quell the rioting and looting just that much faster, Obama has decided to send in the full force of the government to help out.
Our question is; when has the government EVER made anything go faster?
(See also: Prominent Black Pastor: "Michael Brown Was a Thug")
According to DC CBS:
Obama says Holder will travel to the St. Louis suburb on Wednesday.
Holder recently authorized a federal autopsy on the body of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old who was fatally shot on Aug. 9. Brown was black; the officer who shot him was white.
What do you think – is there any reason why Obama and Holder should be intervening here? Could they actually make the situation better? What do you think the chances of that becoming a reality are?

Lady Villiers joined the Belgian Resistance in 1940 and was high up on the Gestapo's list of people they were determined to arrest.
After Belgium capitulated in May that year, Italian air force officers occupied her family's chateau at Jurbise, near Mons. Jose de la Barre d'Erquelinnes, as she then was, joined the newly formed Resistance and gathered information on German aircraft at Chievres, a nearby airfield used as a base for bombing raids on London.
Her work was of great value to British intelligence, which needed to know the proportion of bombers to fighter planes at any given time. She extended her intelligence activity to cover several German airfields in Belgium and northern France, and recruited agents to help her - one of them would push a pram through the checkpoints with a box of TNT hidden underneath the baby.
Jose established communication lines so that important information, usually written on cigarette paper and concealed in the handlebars of her bicycle, could be passed to London. Sometimes, while observing aircraft, to avoid suspicion she and a comrade would pretend to be lovers lying in a field.
When the Germans occupied the chateau in Flanders that belonged to her grandfather, the Marquis du Parc, she stayed on in one of the few rooms left to the family. Arrest was a constant threat, and the firing squad was regarded as a better outcome than death in a dozen other ways.
Early one morning in August 1942 she was covertly searching the offices used by the Germans in the chateau when a great commotion erupted. Reports were coming in of the raid by Allied troops at Dieppe and she barely had time to slip back to her room.
In October she learnt that she was on the Gestapo's list for arrest the following day. With her fair hair dyed black, and furnished with a new identity, she continued her work with the Resistance, but in December that year she had no alternative but to flee the country. After travelling across France, she made the hazardous journey over the Pyrenees with one companion, and three smugglers who acted as guides.
As they crossed a railway line, the straps on her rucksack became entangled in some signal wires. A light came on in the control post, but they were not discovered. After two years of food rationing, the task of dodging the Andorran patrols while climbing peaks more than 7000ft in height was draining. Their hands and feet were covered in cuts, their faces swollen by the intense cold.
On the Spanish side, Jose's party hired two guides who had been condemned to death in absentia by the Franco regime and who tried to rob them at gunpoint. On reaching Barcelona, Jose was issued with a British passport. She reached Lisbon in March 1943 and embarked on a vessel which took her to Southampton.
Marie Jose de la Barre d'Erquelinnes, the daughter of Comte Henri de la Barre d'Erquelinnes, was born on April 30, 1916 at Cuckfield, Sussex, where her mother took refuge during the Great War. She subsequently returned with her parents to the family home at Jurbise. She was educated at home before attending the Convent of the Assumption at Mons. There she upset several of the nuns by putting a frog in the lavatory bowl.
In 1938 Jose and her elder sister joined the newly formed Motor Corps of the Red Cross. She was trained as an ambulance driver and mechanic and, after the German forces invaded Belgium, she accompanied the Corps on missions throughout the country. While helping to evacuate patients from hospitals, her vehicle was strafed by enemy fighters and two of her charges died.
Having escaped to England in 1943, she worked for Belgian Emergency Relief and, in autumn 1944, she went to the American Delta Base in Marseille as a liaison officer. Much of her work was involved in resettling refugees from Russia who arrived on ships from Odessa.
In August 1945, Jose was demobilised and returned to Belgium, where she met Charles Hyde Villiers, a young and recently widowed British colonel. A great-grandson of the 4th Earl of Clarendon, the Victorian statesman, he had a distinguished war record with the Grenadier Guards and SOE. They married the following year and undertook a four-month journey through Africa to research investment opportunities in the continent. Their friend, Colonel (later Sir) David Stirling, accompanied them.
On returning to London, Villiers joined the investment bank that subsequently became Schroder Wagg. He was chairman of the British Steel Corporation from 1976 to 1980 and was knighted in 1975.
Jose Villiers trained in the East End of London as a school care worker, and for 20 years spent several days each week working with the Inner London Education Authority, the local schools and their doctors. She became closely involved in the problems of families in working-class neighbourhoods as they struggled to do the best for their children on inadequate wages and living in damp, high-rise flats. She made many friends among the East Enders as well as among the immigrants who arrived in Britain during the 1970s.
Jose Villiers and her husband settled in a house that they had built on the edge of Windsor Great Park. In December 1978 an IRA letter bomb was delivered to the house while Jose was alone with two young grandchildren. Mindful of her training in the Resistance, she gingerly carried the suspect package into the garden and called the bomb squad. Had it exploded, it could have killed the three of them.
For her wartime work, the Belgian government awarded her the Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Couronne with Palme, Croix de Guerre with Palme, Medaille de la Resistance, Medaille Commemorative de la Guerre 1940-45 and the Croix des Evades. The French government awarded her a Croix de Guerre. From the American government, she received the Bronze Star. In 1988 she published Granny was a Spy, an account of her wartime exploits.
Jose Villiers is survived by her daughters Diana and Anne. Charles died in 1992 and her stepson Nicholas in 1998.

Power is critical in the quest for justice. Yet, power in itself is no virtue. It can be an instrument of oppression, where justice are denied. It can also be a tool to liberate.
I've come to realise that the passion for justice, the adoration of justice, the affirmation that justice is right is not enough. These notions might even be opium to the masses. Of course, we would all affirm the need for a world that is devoid of pain, oppression and violence, a world of justice, but there has to be more. We also need power to make it happen, to make it a living reality, not mere words.
Many a activist for justice would affirm, in the trenches, that the powerfull never give away power. Power-sharing does not follow from an altruism or a deep sense of pity for the wretched of the earth. The commitment to justice assumes a contest over power. It asumes a struggle for power. Often, I hear people wailing about powerstruggles in a particular setting. These complaints often are as a result either of a naive analysis of reality, or of a deliberate denial of reality. Those in power are of course, confortable with naivety and would encourage denial. They would even create a mirage of power and would frantically deny their own collusion in the centralisation of power. I often hear how powerful people use words and phrases as they strive to protect their positions. The alternative is not to play into these delusions, but to see through the fog of propaganda and to push for more power. That is how we come closer to the lofty ideal of justice.

White vinegar is a familiar staple in many households. A bottle of distilled white vinegar has almost an indefinite shelf life and can remain in the pantry for years and years, without undergoing any chemical changes. White vinegar does not require refrigeration due to its acidity. People have been discovering new and ingenious uses for vinegar for centuries, such as spraying distilled white vinegar on furniture to dissuade the family's indoor cat from scratching. It can even be used to dissolve the color tablets when decorating eggs for Easter.
The term "vinegar" comes from a French word "vinaigre," which means "sour wine." Vinegar is a sour liquid that can be used for cooking, seasoning, preserving foods, and in the case of white vinegar it can also be used as a household cleaning product. White vinegar can be made from distilled alcohol that has been oxidized or made by a process using grain. It can also be made from other things, such as corn, potatoes and apples.
White vinegar is often distilled. Distillation is a process that removes the impurities from the substance. Of all the varieties of vinegars, distilled white vinegar is perhaps one of the cheapest. It has a strong smell and a heavily sour, unpleasant taste. Unlike its designer cousins, white vinegar is a basic vinegar without a hint of added flavor (such as the raspberry wine vinegar). Because of its low price, it is readily used for more than simply adding flavor to recipes.
White vinegar is an extremely versatile substance that has a wide range of uses. It can be used medicinally as well as in cooking, cleaning and in the garden. White vinegar can soothe bug bites and sunburns and cure athlete's feet. In the garden, it can kill weeds and slugs and neutralize garden lime. As a cleaning substance, it can remove calcium deposits on fixtures and glass and get rid of mildew and foul odors. In the kitchen, it can be an ingredient in dressings, tenderize meats, flavor recipes and help preserve foods.
White vinegar is just one type of vinegar. There are many other varieties, such as malt, wine, apple cider, rice, fruit, balsamic, cane, coconut, palm, raisin or flavored vinegars. Since vinegar can be made from many substances that contain sugar, it is difficult to determine how many types of vinegars are available throughout the world.
Vinegar has been used for over 10,000 years. In ancient times, the Babylonians used vinegar to pickle and preserve foods. Vinegar was reportedly a beverage consumed by Caesar's armies. Over the years, many civilizations have used vinegar for medicinal purposes. It was used to protect the skin during the outbreak of the bubonic plague, and medics in World War I used it to treat wounds.

I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me out. We have a POE cisco switch and the Cisco IP Phones with built in switch so you can plug in the PCs. Problem is that the PCs keep hopping on and off the phone network. Its been suggested to me that this can be separated with VLANs but what would your suggestions be fellow spiceworkers?

ICT Solutions is an IT service provider.
If the PCs are plugged into the phone switch. Then you will have to use VLANs. It will segment traffic and your phones will have higher priority and better QoS.
Apr 9, 2012 at 11:17 UTC
sounds reasonable but any chance you can point me in the right direction as to how this is done because my cisco experience is very limited? thanks in advance
Apr 9, 2012 at 11:18 UTC
also is this possible to do with the GUI ?
Apr 9, 2012 at 11:54 UTC
On your switch you should have at least two vlans, one for data the other for voice.
On your switchports you need to set the data and voice vlans.
Telnet or SSH to the switch and enter global config mode (config t) and then enter the interface number of the port you want to modify and enter the following commands.
Switchport access vlan <data vlan number>
switchport voice vlan <voice vlan number>
Apr 9, 2012 at 12:34 UTC
thank you, will try it asap and get back to you with results
Apr 9, 2012 at 1:25 UTC
Or use trunk instead of using access ports:
interface FastEtherenet 0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport native vlan 10
But you need to set it up on Phone too.
Apr 9, 2012 at 1:43 UTC
Just ran into a problem trying to telnet or ssh into it.
According to the website below it doesnt support either of them. So basically just the web GUI. I found where to create the vlans but cant figure out how to connect them to the ports properly. Also I have no idea if they need to be set to tagged or untagged and what should be the settings for QoS if different from default
Apr 9, 2012 at 2:19 UTC
Make sure your firmwares are updated and use your smartports on the switch when it comes to IP Phones, I have the same setup and it works like a champ.
Apr 9, 2012 at 2:24 UTC
we're using all the POE ports for the most part so we dont have to buy the bricks for the phones. Firmware is the latest available just checked. Just seems like I have to figure out the vlans
Apr 9, 2012 at 2:27 UTC
I also see there are some VLAN settings on the phone itself which is CIsco IP phone 7961 but I am not sure if those need to be changed

Must-have Italian cuisine
Despite being named Bella's Pizza, this place does serve other Italian food such as pasta. They may be famous for their pizza, but their pasta is fantastic as well.
Their pizzas are thin-crusted, but the texture is just right - not too thin or thick. Absolutely great to sink your teeth into. They have both red pizzas (tomato-based) and white pizzas, but I prefer their red. Love the mozzarella, but that's because because I love cheesy pizzas. I tried their squid ink pasta once and I must say it's one of the better ones I've had in Singapore.
Also, service was efficient and the staff were friendly and helpful. Bella's Pizza is definitely one of my favourite Italian restaurants around.

The best Pizza in town!
Located at the heart of Robertson Quay, Bella Pizza serves one of the best thin-crusted pizzas in Singapore. Offering Neapolitan style cheese or tomato-based pizzas, it offers a wide selection of scrumptious traditional recipes.
The pizzas are no doubt the headliners, but Bella Pizza's all-around excellence is what makes this place stand out from the rest. For $18, their weekday set lunches are a great way to sample their menu without burning a hole in your pocket.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing. And the fight that all boxing fans have been waiting for...the Mayweather-Pacquiao match, is scheduled for May 2. What better way to watch these events than with the Samsung UN65JU750D 65" 4K Smart Curved LED Ultra HDTV . The curved display is simply amazing and provides you with a great view of the screen at almost any angle. If HDTV is not enough for you, then 4K is the technology for you with 4 times the resolution of normal HDTV. As you can probably tell, I like to watch sports on TV so a high Clear Motion Rate of 240, to reduce the blur effect of fast motion scenes, is essential. Most modern HDTVs do a poor job when it comes to viewing non-HD content, it just looks worse than on a standard-definition TV. But with the Samsung UN65JU750D's UHD Upscaling, all the lower resolution content that you want to watch will look near HD. And because the Samsung 65" 4K Smart Curved LED Ultra HDTV UN65JU750D is a Smart TV, you can watch a lot of internet streaming content from Youtube, Hulu Plus, Netflix, etc. If all that content is not enough, if you buy the Samsung 65" UN65JU750D at Costco, you get a $75 M-Go gift card which you can use to buy or rent digital copies of movies and shows. Built-in wifi means that there is no need to run a long cable from the TV to your router or switch. Just plug in the power, configure the network settings, and you are ready to surf, stream and download. Samsung also offers the UN65HU7200 65" curved hdtv which you want to check out as well.

The fishing on the Delaware has been pretty bad, but not the worst of all time…and not as far as Elite history goes.
On Day 1 the bassing average (the average number of fish brought to the scales by a competitor) was 2.85. Historically, the average is around 4.50 and anything under 4.00 is low. Before this event, there had only been nine times when the Day 1 bassing average was below 4.00. The Delaware River gave the Elites the third toughest opening round in history. Only Table Rock in 2006 (with a bassing average of 2.07) and the Sabine River in 2013 (2.38) were worse.
Things got even tougher on the Delaware on Day 2 when the bassing average fell to 2.58. Again, that's the third lowest mark ever behind the Sabine in 2013 (2.37) and Table Rock in 2006 (2.51).
Only seven anglers have limited both days. That number will be smaller after three rounds…maybe much smaller.

Sure, I watched Sesame Street back in the day, and it was plenty psychedelic in the heady days of the early 80s. There must have been a quantity of educational filler, but what's stuck with me for more than twenty-five years is the Pinball segment. This was ostensibly a counting exercise but I think must have been a creative outlet for animators who dropped too much acid before I was even a twinkle in my father's eye.
In case you need to jazz out to the music, here it is performed live by Fighting in the Streets.
And because we're tripping down Memory Lane, here's more Sesame Street for you: the wizard at the bridge. I remember the wizard. I remember the bridge. I just didn't remember what I was supposed to have learned.
Oh yes, of course. Circles.

The bridge one was written by someone having to deal with driving into CA from OR or another neighboring state :) "Eaten or thrown away" is the giveaway! :p Nothing like having to consume a whole piekeeper of fresh cherries (because as the wizard points out, it's wrong to throw food away) while parked in the pullout before continuing into CA....

What Can We Do to Encourage Native Bees?
Posted: March 20, 2015
Natural Areas
Diverse and abundant native bee populations are found in areas where there are many patches of natural habitat. Specifically, studies indicate fields 1,000 to 6,000 yards from the nearest natural patch will have the most pollination from native bees [8, 9].
Provide Forage
Pollinator habitat should have a diversity of flowers that bloom at different times to sustain a diverse group of pollinators throughout the growing season. Flowering plants in your hedgerows, riparian buffers, set-aside areas and gardens can all provide essential food. Not all flowering plants are equal! Some species provide lots of nectar, others provide lots of pollen, and pollen nutrients of different plants vary. It is important to encourage the growth of a wide variety of flowering plant species to best feed your bees, especially generalists like bumble bees. For specialists, like the squash bee, the specific host (squash or pumpkin) must be in the landscape.
Nesting Sites
Nearly 70 percent of bee species nest underground. Most other bees choose to nest in wood tunnels, occupying existing holes in snags or chewing into the pithy center of stems [10]. Because many ground dwelling bees only range a few hundred yards from their nest, it can be even more important for land managers to provide nesting habitats directly on the farm. Bumble bees often prefer undisturbed areas such as hay fields and pasture [11]. Many bees prefer to nest in sunny, bare patches of soil [12]. When you excavate a pond or ditch leave the piles of excavated earth. Ground dwelling bees may nest in bare areas of mounded earth. Consider keeping some dead snags. Some solitary bees nest in abandoned beetle tunnels in snags.
Cover Crops
Include flowering plants in your cover crop mixtures and give them time to flower to provide additional bee forage. Penn State's Dr Shelby Fleischer is working on building summer and fall cover crop mixtures that flower successively providing continuous forage for bumble bees and honey bees. The current summer mix trial includes buckwheat, mustard, sunflower, sunhemp and cowpea. The fall planted mix includes peas, vetch, clover and an oat nurse crop. We are still learning about cover crops for bee forage.
Reduced Tillage
Many native bees nest in the ground. Sometimes they nest right in the area where the crop is grown and other times in attractive areas in field edges. Think about ways to avoid disrupting this nesting habitat in some areas of the farmscape. For example in one study farms that practiced no-till had triple the rate of squash bee visitation rates [13]. In other studies farms with pastures or hayfields had more bumble bees.
During times of drought, irrigation may also encourage native bee pollinators. In one of two years (a dry year) of a study of pumpkin pollinators in Virginia, fields with irrigation had significantly more squash bees than those that did not [14]. Researchers don't know why irrigation might increase ground dwelling native bees, but they speculate it might be differences in soil temperature or ease of making a nest.
