High Performance MP's on the Cheap-Going Mobile
Subject: Processors | April 5, 2004 - 03:52 PM | Geoff Baker
We've been seeing the Mobile Barton XP's and their high overclocking potential for some months now. But maybe you have an MPX sitting around that could use a serious refresh without a big investment. In our Forums, Caprid shows the details of setting up these wonderfully flexible CPUs to make a powerful workstation running 2 x 2600 Mhz.
Quote: "With the new 'CG' stepping of the FX53 and the newer A64s, 2.5 -2.6Ghz on air isn't uncommon, the same holds true for the Mobile Athlon XP. But will they run in SMP on the Dually? A pair of 2.5Ghz chips would be a nice boost to the aging and dieing MPX platform. It's been done by a few already, but the Mobile Athlons are a little different than the desktop Athlon XPs, so we're going to see how to get them up to speed."

Walkers, Beware
Thursday, April 24, 2008
Fairfax, Prince George's and Prince William counties are the most dangerous places for pedestrians in the Washington region, according to a study released yesterday.
Alexandria is the safest area for walkers, followed by Arlington County and the District, according to "Washington Area's Mean Streets," a report prepared by the Coalition for Smarter Growth, a regional anti-sprawl group that advocates for pedestrian-friendly development.
Fairfax County ranked as the most dangerous jurisdiction for walkers, with an average of 15 fatalities a year from 2004 to 2006; Prince George's was second, with an average 24 fatalities a year in the same period; Prince William was third, with an average of three deaths. The study examined pedestrian deaths relative to the percentages of people who walk to work or take a bus.
The most deadly road in the region for pedestrians is University Boulevard, which straddles Prince George's and Montgomery counties, with 29 pedestrian fatalities from 1995 to 2005, according to the study. The second-most dangerous road is Route 1 in Fairfax, with 22 pedestrian fatalities in that period; Wisconsin Avenue/Rockville Pike in Montgomery County ranked third with 14 deaths.
Almost all of the roads with the most pedestrian deaths are state-maintained.
"We need to fix our high-crash roadways," said Cheryl Cort, author of the study. "We find great danger in urbanizing suburban communities like Route 1."
Each year, more than 75 pedestrians are killed on the region's roads, and more than a thousand are injured, the report says.
"The results don't surprise me," said Anne Canby, president of the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership, a national transportation reform group. "When you look at Fairfax, Prince George's, Loudoun and most of Montgomery County, they were built in the automobile age, when walking was not really viewed as a form of transportation."
Communities built before World War II are much more pedestrian-friendly than those built after the war, when much of American suburbia was created, Canby said.
The study recommends that state and local jurisdictions identify and fix high-crash and high-risk intersections; complete streets and intersections that are being built for the safety and convenience of all users, including pedestrians; update planning, design and maintenance standards to take pedestrians' needs into account; and build walkable mixed-use communities.
Although Alexandria is rated the safest jurisdiction in the region, Arlington is singled out in the report as a "leader in pedestrian transportation safety planning, policy and practice." Alexandria offers many similar policies, the report says.
Prince George's ranks the lowest, as the study says it "does not score well in this assessment on pedestrian danger or actions taken to improve pedestrian safety." The county has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities. One in 16 pedestrian injuries there ends in death, compared with one in 48 in the District.

Question: does xAP know his BW is doing this?
Question: other than the recording not sounding right, do you know 100% for sure that your BH has had no contact with her/him/them?
Good luck.
Just wait and see. Meanwhile, don't borrow trouble. I'm sure your plate is more than full.

Thierry Pepin male model and actor Biography & news, Photo Gallery. Thierry Pepin, born on 1981 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is a model and actor.
Thierry Pepin studied modern dance when young, appeared in the movie "Danny in the Sky" in 2001, and just before the film's release became a model for Giovanni, Montreal's leading modeling agency.
A fan of techno music with an ethnic flavor, this week's addition to Male Model Mondays took modern dance classes and was part of amateur theatre group as a young teen. A gym buff, he was discovered dancing in a rave by a Montreal modeling agency when he was 18.
His first feature film was playing the part of Danny in Danny In The Sky.

Well, as previously mentioned, I now anxiously await my radio and batteries so that I can get this bird in the air. Unfortunately the batteries aren't due this week, so I doubt the maiden will happen before Christmas -- unless the radio arrives this week and I decide to try to fly it on some 7 cell packs I have. I need to get advice about that first.
Here are a few shots of the almost-complete Maggie.
The landing gear and camera mount are built and ready to be attached. I will do that after I install the battery.
My compliments on a great build thread! The covering demonstration and how you improvised during the build is very informative.
One method I use to shrink heat-shrink in confined areas is with a trim iron turned to the high setting; just run the iron down the length of tube and it shrinks up nice and tight.
Thanks for the compliments, and for the tip. I don't have an iron but I'm sure to end up getting one before long, so I'll try that - sounds like a very good solution.
The camera mount is available for $10 from MM. If you'd prefer to make your own, there are some excellent examples in this thread.
Bad Pixie!
Well, I got my radio yesterday, and decided to use my Kan900 7-cell packs until the Kan650's turn up.
So out I went this morning, all excited to finally maiden this ship.
Sadly, it was not to be. As I was taxiing, the ESC cut out and started beeping. Upon inspection I discovered that it was faulty. Just placing a little pressure on it in certain ways would cause it to cut out. I had to abort.
I still have a little more to write up about the build. Will try to get to that later today.
2 Questions. I am just finishing up my Magpie with the GWS motor and a 3 cell 1200 mah.
1. Tried to balance it with the trainer wing on, and with the battery sitting clear up front on the nose, the tail still sat on the table. That cant be good I had the COG point 1/2 inch behind the back of the band that goes around the wing.
2. The trainer wing dont seem to fit real well in the wing cradle, the bottom V of the wing just kind of sits on the foam and wont sit tight. I havnt tried the sport wing yet and I just had 2 rubber bands on for balancing.
1. Not sure what you mean about the balance. Regardless of the COG, the tail is always going to sit on the ground due to the positioning of the landing gear. If the plane were to balance on the landing gear, the wheels would have to be at the COG which is too far back.
Setting the COG is one thing I've found difficult, partly due to the fact that I happened to mount my landing gear right about where I want to support the plane while checking the COG, and it really gets in the way. It also looked bad, so I've taken the gear off and am in the process of mounting it again in a much less obtrusive way.
2. I noticed the same thing with the SF wing, but when you affix it to the fuse with enough rubber bands to hold it firmly, it will flex/deform a bit, and fit the wing supports snugly.
It is always a drag to have to add weight but this is what I am going to recommend. Position the battery where you want it, preferably near the nose, then add weight to the nose till it balances properly. I'd rather the plane be heavy than have an aft CG.
I know of one Magpie that is flying at over 30 ounces with a camera and it still flies well. You will be fine with the added weight.
One more thing. A 3S Lipoly is too much for that GWS motor. I've been known to use them but do try to be careful with the throttle as you can quickly burn out the motor with that pack.
Good luck and drop me an email if I can be of further help.
A couple of things to a great build article.
What I did with the cutouts was to cover them with tape, then cut an X through the middle and fold the Vs into the hole. Worked well.
For shrinking the tubing on the pushrods, I used a soldering iron. Easier to control the heat and not melt foam. Just rub the tip along the tubing to shrink. You do need to rub it top, bottom and inside and outside to get it to shrink well. I wondered about the pushrod design, but figured I would try it, and I like it.
WRT the heat gun, an iron works well to stick it down, but the heat gun works better to shrink and smooth the tape covering. I tried the iron, wasn't happy, so I bought a heat gun just for this model. And I'm glad I did. It takes a bit more heat than I was comfortable with to start. But start with teh gun well away and moving quickly, then easy in and go slower until you see the tape start to get shiny and shrink. It does make the job look a LOT better, and smooths out most of the wrinkles I had in teh tape.
I used hot glue to attach the servos. To make the pockets, you can use a soldering iron to melt out the foam. Be careful to not melt out too much.
WRT CG, it is one of the MOST important things to get right for a good flying model. If it is off, it should be off towards the front, NOT aft of the recommended location. A god pilot can compensate, but as a trainer, success would be compromised.

Merchandise Direct I received unauthorized/unorder merchandise Wallingford, Connecticut
I was looking at some advertisement for robes, but it only showed snuggies. I wasn't interest so I closed the site. Within a weekI received a box & enclosed were 4 boxes of snuggies. Being very disgusted I returned to sender on 1-24-11. There wasn't an invoice enclosed, no phone number, no papers at all, just the merchandise; disgusting...I don't recall giving any account number but now I must research to make sure they did not charge my account.I retained all the information they had on the shipping label.

Street Tails Animal Rescue (STAR) began in 2001, as founder Lindsay Condefer's one-woman effort to literally save one dog at a time. Initially operating out of her pet store, the operation blossomed into its own location in 2011 with the help of friends and supporters. Since then, the number of animals STAR has helped place into loving, forever homes for has grown exponentially.
STAR's mission is to help the homeless and unwanted animals, within the Philadelphia area, by helping them receive proper medical attention, educating the public on the importance of spaying and neutering, and by placing these animals in suitable, compatible, and most of all, loving homes.
We depend on helping hands to assist us in every day activities, chores, and, events. If you are interested in lending a helping hand or three, please email us at email@example.com and tell us you'd like to help :)
STAR prides itself on taking in homeless animals that are often "overlooked." These are the animals that usually need extensive medical attention, so they are thought of as "unadoptable" or "not worth the effort." To us, rescue is about saving a life, and these are the animals that need it most. Along with the extra time and care these animals require, comes a large amount of medical bills. Click here to make a tax-deductable donation or Click here to shop our Amazon Wishlist - every little bit helps :)
Please note:STAR is not a shelter and we do not take animals from the public; our animals are pulled from local shelters. If you have found an animal or need to report animal neglect or abuse, and you are in the Philadelphia area, please contact The Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT) at (267) 385-3800 or by visiting acctphilly.com.
STAR has been incorporated and is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

Moscow, Feb 20 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Russia has said it will not support trade sanctions against North Korea but is ready to support additional UN Security Council sanctions aimed at Pyongyang's controversial nuclear programme.
"In principle, we are ready to support additional UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea, which held a nuclear test last week. It all depends on the nature of those sanctions," Russian deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Tuesday.
"It's too early to say what kind of measures we will be ready to support. Anyway, apparently, it should be measures aimed at preventing North Korea from taking further actions related to nuclear non-proliferation and a future nuclear test," he said.
"But we will oppose sanctions damaging normal trade and economic relations with North Korea."
On Jan 12, seismic activity was detected in North Korea. Pyongyang state media later confirmed that the country had carried out its third nuclear test.
The 15-member UN Security Council issued a statement last week condemning the nuclear blast, calling it a "grave violation" of UN resolutions banning Pyongyang from conducting such tests and "a clear threat to international peace and security".

[PORTRAIT] Germany's exciting 21-year-old playmaker plays down the comparison. He's also left-footed, dark-haired and can trick his way past defenders. But
Mesut Ozil says of his Messi nickname, "I believe it's an abbreviation of Mesut and has nothing to do with Lionel Messi."
Ozil and Messi face off when Germany and Argentina meet in the quarterfinals on Saturday. The young German team has gotten this far thanks much to Ozil, who clinched the team's passage to the second round with the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Ghana.
Ozil set up goals in the 4-0 rout of Australia and the 4-1 over England. Even when Germany fell, 1-0, to Serbia in its second group game, Ozil was hailed for covering so much of the field after forward Miroslav Klose was red-carded.
After Ozil – half midfielder, half forward -- helped Germany win the U-21 European Championship, Coach Horst Hrubesch called him a once-in-a-century talent.
Germany's World Cup coach Joachim Loew says, "Ozil is a gift for German soccer. … With him, the game doesn't stop, it keeps its rhythm."
The German press hails the 154-pound Ozil as embodying the "new style" of the German team: modern, interesting and more talented than many of its predecessors, who relied so much on power and grit.
Ozil, whose grandfather emigrated from Turkey four decades ago, is also the leader of what the Germans have dubbed their "Multikultikickers."
"The new Germany at this World Cup is attack-minded, very young and multi-ethnic," wrote Spiegel magazine. "Eleven of the 23 players are mix-players, who have foreign roots."
Ozil was courted by Turkey, whose Dutch coach Guus Hiddink said, "It's a pity that Ozil chose the wrong passport. He is a modern player I could use in my team."
But for Ozil, who grew up speaking mostly Turkish at home because his mother's German wasn't so good – "Sometimes sentences came out half Turkish, half German," he said – it was not much of a choice.
"It was never an issue," said Ozil. "I grew up here [in Germany] and always played youth ball for Germany."
In its profile of Ozil, Germany's Kicker magazine sought out the opinions of the nation's most stylish playmakers of yesteryear. Wolfgang Overath said, "He's a brilliant player who can do anything on the ball." Guenter Netzer said it's laughable to already call Ozil Germany's Messi. Kicker wrote that Messi is a magician and Ozil is a magician's apprentice.
On Saturday, the world can compare the two.

Redistributive effect of personal income taxation in Pakistan
This paper studies the redistribution effect of personal income tax in Pakistan. We decompose the overall tax system in order to evaluate the contribution of rate, allowances, deductions, exemptions and credits. The structure given in Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, is applied to gross household incomes in 2002 (low growth year) and 2005 (high growth year). Our findings reveal that the reforms laid down in this Ordinance resulted in a greater redistribution of incomes. The redistributive effect increases as we move from 2002 to 2005 tax assessment. Deductions for salaried tax payers contribute the most towards progressivity. This is different from countries with advanced taxation systems relying mainly on allowances followed by tax rate and exemptions.

Sore on Opening of Penis??? Herpes???

Re: Sore on Opening of Penis??? Herpes???
Lets start with I am not a GUY!!!!! But I know a lot about genital herpes. Any sore,bump anything abnormal that lingers on and on most definitly isn't herpes. More than likely it is a infected follicule or infected gland of some sort. These are both very common on the penis. You are doing the righ thing by visiting your dr. in order to rule it out but I wouldn't be too worried about herpes.
A typical herpes lession will start as a bump red in color then form into a blister filled with clear or yellow fluid, then it will break open and form a open lession, then it will scab ( usually only scap on dry not moist skin ) heal and go away untill the next ob. Now note that all people don't get the typical lessons but if they do this is the coarse it will take. You would probably have some sort of other symptom also tingling, itching, burning, soreness, pain where the ob is going to occur.
Hope this helps

CBO Report on Medicare Demos Draws Mixed Response
A Congressional Budget Office report critical of the Medicare fee-for-service demonstration projects in disease management, care coordination, and value-based payments has received mixed reviews from stakeholders who acknowledge the report's significance while contending that it contains no surprises for the healthcare industry.
Meanwhile, officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which oversees the demonstration projects, have remained almost silent. CMS provided only a short e-mail statement to HealthLeaders Media on Friday night.
The 30-page CBO report, released last week, reviews the independent evaluations of 10 major demonstration projects—six in disease management and care coordination, and four in value-based payments. According to the CBO, "the evaluations show that most programs have not reduced Medicare spending."
Among the mixed bag of findings:
- Disease management and care coordination programs where physicians had direct interaction with care managers, as well as their patients, were more likely to reduce Medicare spending.
- On average the programs did not produce enough savings to offset their fees.
- The programs had little or no effect on hospital admissions.
- Three of the four value-based payment (VBP) demonstrations produced almost no savings for Medicare.
- A heart bypass VBP demo that bundled Medicare payments to cover hospital and physician services reduced Medicare spending for those services by about 10%.

We love to hear about meaningful volunteer groups around the Isle of Wight, it re-enforces our faith in humanity.
The Open Arms is a volunteer-run drop-in centre based in Ryde which has been set up to help the homeless on the Island.
The group provides a wholesome meal and a hot drink and also offers a signposting service for support and advice for those in need.
We understand that they help at least 30 regulars each Sunday evening at the Ryde Methodist Hall in Garfield Rd, between 5-8pm.
Your support needed too
The group couldn't run without the support of volunteers and the generosity of local businesses with donations of food and services.
They have a new website through which you can made Paypal donations, but if you are able to donate time to the project, please get in touch with the group by emailing email@example.com
Alternatively you may wish to donate food. If so get get in touch with the catering manager on: 07599 273 048
This is an excellent cause and one well worth supporting.
UPDATE 15:10 Zoe Thompson brought this excellent project to our attention on Facebook (Thank you!). After we posted a link of our story on the VB FB page, Zoe added a comment that gave even more details about the project, so to give you the widest view of this, we've added it below.
Hi all. I am directly involved in helping this project. Firstly I want to say thankyou for the support shown.
The project has been going less than a year, has had no support from local authorities, but thankfully the local people have come together and are dedicating themselves to the service.
In terms of Jans comments (Which asked why it wasn't 7 day -Ed), you are right Jan, ideally a dedicated centre which provides 24/7 care and support, shower facilities and emergency accomodation for those most in need would be an ideal. However with little or no acknowlegement on the island of the problems in this area this is very unlikely to happen.
Support from local community
Times are very tough for everyone at the moment, the price of the most basic food is higher than ever, heating, water bills soring, low unemployment … general doom and gloom. But the project has been delighted in the support the local community has shown to this 'drop in the ocean' venture.
I personally would like to think that if I was ever in desperate need I would be able to find someone or somewhere willing to help in some way, and this is exactly why this community project is so valuable.
Can you help?
The Open Arms Project – Ryde is looking to expand the services it can provide, for example opening its doors for breakfast a few mornings a week, being able to donate food packs for those who are struggling to get enough of the basics each week,as well as hot drinks packs for those who due to poor housing situations are likely to be spending the majority of their days outside.
We hope that this might just be the start of much bigger things to come. In the meantime, please do 'like' the FB group and I will keep you in touch with what we are doing.

Discussion in 'Nintendo DS' started by Andy247, Jun 28, 2009.
iv got a DS lite its Pink only cos it was second hand and cheap
im a Dude colours r for everbody!
Hehe, mine is black.
Blue DSi. I would prefer the lime green that they just came out with here, but sadly that color is only for the DSlite
blue dsi i wanted a lime green one but they dont offer cool colors like tht in America DX
Original 'fat' silver DS FTW.
I have a pearl white DSlite
My favorite is the Pokemon Diamond and pearl black.
DS, DSlite, DSI?
Lime Green?! D: ****, do want.
Black and White.
No, I didn't paint my DS Lite, I have two. Black is the old one. I've also got the original, fat, silver one lying around somewhere. It's broken, sadly.
Traded in my white DSL for the blue DSi . . . it's not the most beautiful shade of blue but I love it anyway!
i want one.
Currently have a red DSLite and a black DSi.
Well, my old DS was Blue. My DS Lite was Crimson, as they call it (red on top, black everywhere else. Pretty cool color, imo).
But, since I sold the first one and the second one broke, I have to borrow my friend's DS until I get a new one (hopefully, DSi =D). It's silver with a Space Invaders (Atari) sticker on it.
I could not agree more!
Yeah, you're not tricking me.
Anyway, I have a Black DSi.
I have a black DS Lite. I originally wanted the white one, but when I bought mine, they were sold out pretty much everywhere and I just got what I could get. Black is cool though. Probably a better choice, since white would show how dirty and beat up it really is.
Black lite, but I had a silver "phat", but guess what they both have in common?
Mine is a silver phat. But I bought a skin for it a long time back, so it's got a planet with a meteor crashing through it (greenish) pasted over it. Pretty cool.
A broken R button?
i've got a Black DSlite, but the top screen is startinv to go plus the L button has been broken since almost forever. so soon i'll be getting either a new lite or a DSi and i'm hoping to get a Black, Red, or Blue one.
My White DS Lite is starting to lose R button functionality. ... Which is a pain in the ass for certain games, like Kingdom Hearts or The World Ends With You. My Black DS Lite has issues with L, though, so I'm in a dilemma...
DS Color
I have the an original DS, I've had it for five years, it still works, and is the original silveris color.
I still have my original DS, but plenty of the inner wires have snapped, and one of the top screen's hinges is broken. The Top Screen doesn't work anymore, so... Hence why I've got two DS Lites.
Hm... Maybe I'll get a DSi if one of my Lites break.

Photographer's Note
Riding a Waterbus down the Sumida-gawa gives you a unique perspective of Tokyo. It is not just a novel way of travelling - more relaxing than the train - but also a fantastic way to tour the city.
It gave me a chance to slow down and relax, and take my time to watch the city flow by. I got a real sense of the vastness of the city, as all I could see were buildings, train tracks, and bridges.
Tokyo is a real Metropolis. Even the rivers are used by the people of the city for travel despite the trains and subway, and not one inch of real-estate is wasted at the river's edge.
This is the most open space in Tokyo that you will see. Unlike the Imperial Palace Plaza, Ueno Koen or Yoyogi Koen, the Sumida-gawa does not become crowded by people. Nobody can stand on the water, obviosly.
Only boats, ships, and the Waterbuses can traverse the Sumida-gawa and Tokyo Bay.
They are the two most peaceful places in Tokyo, I think.
I would persuade anyone who visits Tokyo to ride the Waterbuses down the river and to Odaiba.
This is simply Tokyo, as you can see that every available space is taken up. No area of Tokyo is wasted. The city is growing and growing every day, growing inwards and upwards toward the sky - old buildings are knocked down and new developments built, or even new building work down on top of old buildings to add extra storeys (I witnessed this myself outside Marunouchi Station... I will have to post the photo I took of the incredible building work on TE at some point in the future) - aswell as outward to engulf more of the surrounding Kanto Plain.
Technical: Adjusted levels and contrast, straightened the image, made it black and white, and sharpened.
Resized for posting to TE.

This is a pleasing photograph Richard. I must say, I've seen a lot of shots of the Tokyo skyline, but this one is a little different. It's a good black and white conversion with some nice contrast between the buildings. I noticed that you straightened the image, but the building on the left is still tilted a little too much. Also I'm wondering if maybe there is a bit too much water in the image. If there were some other boats in the background that might have been better.
I'm gonna do a workshop and alter a few things if you don't mind!
startacked (1371) 2006-07-12 4:11
Hi Richard,
There is nothing in the picture that tells me that it was taken in Tokyo and that is pretty amazing. The distortion of the building falling in is a bit distracting. DO you mind uploading the color version? Gilbert
censport (12) 2006-07-12 22:42
Okay Richard, you've convinced me: I'm taking a waterbus when I travel to Japan next year!
Other than the building on the left, I think it's a great shot. I'd be interested in seeing the color version too.

St Andrew's is one of three churches in the Hadleigh benefice, which also includes St Mary's, Hadleigh and All Saints', Shelley. The benefice functions as a single unit,
For details of services and events in Layham Church, please see CALENDARS
St Andrew's was built around 1300, in stone and flint. The tower was rebuilt in 1742, using local brick but the nave arch of the original 13/14th century tower remains. The original flint and stone outer walls of the nave and chancel also survive.
Extensive renovation took place during the 19th century, including replacement of all the windows. However, although the interior is essentially Victorian, there are several medieval features, in particular the 13th century font.
St Andrew's Church is situated in Lower Layham, with no direct vehicle access from Upper Layham - easiest vehicle access between Upper and Lower Layham is via Hadleigh. However, pedestrians/cyclists travelling from Upper Layham can use the footbridge by Layham Mill to cross the river Brett, and follow the path and lane leading to the Village Hall, Church and, for refreshments, the Queen's Head Inn.
Correspondence should be sent to the Benefice Office in St Mary's, Hadleigh:
Benefice Office
The office is situated in the St Mary's Church, Hadleigh open tuesday to friday 10am until noon. Postal address:

The negative campaign
Rick Esenberg comments on negative political campaigning that goes too far.
Over the past few months, I spoke frequently around the state in support of the marriage amendment. One of the pleasures of doing so was, oddly enough, getting to meet my opponents. I debated many intelligent and honest people of good faith and heart with whom it was a privilege to be able to discuss the issues.
We disagreed but tried to do so with some measure of charity. We did not impugn each other's motives and tried hard not to say things that were demonstrably false or deliberately deceitful.
But the consultants took over. In the final hours of the campaign, an automated calling campaign claiming that a "no" vote would prevent activist judges from determining the meaning of marriage which, according to the call, was a "union of one man and one woman."
Fair Wisconsin, the organization coordinating the campaign against the amendment, was identified at the end of the call as its source.
While it may be (if you take each sentence out of context and provide the most sympathetic reading) that the calls were not lies, this was an undeniable attempt to persuade voters that "no" meant "yes."
I'm proud to say that the one campaign I worked on this year could have misconstrued our opponent's vote on an important issue but didn't. Too many political campaigns cannot say the same thing.
Negative campaigning, that is campaigning that accurately depicts your opponent's record, is not bad in itself. It serves a useful purpose in that it gives the voter valuable information. But campaigning that deliberately twists and distorts the record serves no one, and the media and the bloggers should hold those campaigns accountable.

text: Well there is a new 2nd Amendment Shooting range/gun store in Palm Desert Ca. Just came back from there and was amazed at what all they had in there. I got the last can of gun powder for a good price. They have everything for reloading. Brass, bullets, stacks of primers of different brands and bullets too. Said they had alot of powder but a couple of guys came in and bought everything up. The range was cool, air conditioning. That what we need out here in the desert. They even had Bow stuff to. I checked out their prices and they are very competative. 1000 CCI small pistol primers were $37. Not bad I think.

D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen
On the win tonight:
"I'm excited about the last couple of weeks, and we've seen [the team] moving in the right direction. These guys deserve a little bit of joy right now. It's been a tough time, and we seem to have [regained] our health. Some young guys are also stepping in and doing the job. Conor Shanosky gets another win, [Taylor] Kemp comes in and helps us, Casey [Townsend] comes in and helps us, [Lionard] Pajoy comes in and helps us, so everybody's contributing right now, and I think the spirit is good. Can we turn it around now against Vancouver [on Saturday]? Again, putting so much into [the Open Cup] to get a result – we're going to have to make some changes. But I think our spirit right now [will allow us] to start doing a little bit better in the League."
On how United responded when the Revolution equalized in the second half:
"I was a little worried. Our response wasn't great after the goal. It took the wind out of our sails a little bit. I though up until that point, we controlled the game. We had some good attacks, some creativity – I attribute that to Dwayne [De Rosario] and Chris [Pontius]. I thought they did a good job just being a little bit more unpredictable than usual. Dwayne looks like he's back in-form, and that's a big deal for us. Certainly in this Open Cup, he's been as good as anybody. He put the team on his back there once [New England] scored. I think he kind of reeled us into getting that extra goal, and [Lionard] Pajoy makes a good play in the end."
On how Chris Pontius has played the last few games:
"[Pontius] got winded pretty early here. He's had such an up-and-down year or two with injuries, and we're still getting his fitness back where he can play two games [in a row]. But I liked him up there the last two games as a forward. I think he's enjoying it."
On how he views Dwayne De Rosario's omission from Canada's Gold Cup squad:
"It's a big boost [to have him still be with us in July]. I wouldn't be surprised if Dwayne's pissed off about it, and if some of [his recent form] is because of that. Dwayne can find motivation in a lot of things. He can find motivation in me dogging him at times... I don't care where he finds motivation – he's been a real stud these last couple of weeks, and he looks like he has that edge again. He has a little bit of a different look in his eyes. It's good to have."
On how this momentum in Open Cup will affect long-term morale:
"It was a tough two months. The spirit was still there. There was still a sense of belief that we could kind of at least flatten out and start to go the other way. The spirit hasn't changed that much. I would say the belief right now is there more than it was, and in this League, belief is a very important thing. If you lose it, you can go the wrong way. You look at last year – we went the other way with just pure belief and hopefully we can get that back."
D.C. United forward/midfielder Chris Pontius
On his goal:
"I played it wide to Nick [DeLeon], and he was playing the ball back to me, and I was just trying to put it on frame far post."
On team morale:
"I think it's big for us and another big thing is when you look early on in the season we weren't getting a whole lot of looks on goal. Today, our service was better, our runs were better, and we were threatening by getting behind and getting looks on goal. It was a big game for us so it'll build our confidence even more."
On his improving form:
"I'm obviously trying to get up to full fitness and I'm not quite there yet, and it's a bit tough when you're going Saturday, Wednesday. But I scored and my body feels good and I'm starting to play with some confidence, which I wasn't doing in the beginning [of the season]."
On playing up front with Dwayne De Rosario:
"Dwayne [De Rosario] and I played off each other pretty well. Usually, there's a couple balls in there that were a bit mixed up on but once again, that's our first time up top together so I think as we play more, we'll connect a little bit better."
On his assist to Dwayne De Rosario on the second goal:
"He told me on a free kick before he was looking at the back side and so I tried getting it there. I didn't get it all the way there on the free kick, but I was looking there on the corner kick. I have confidence in him scoring since he's done it a lot in his career."
On the team's overall performance:
"Yeah, it was good. It was still a bit scary at the end there, but there's some good things we can take away from it. We can do a lot better in limiting opportunities but that's a good New England team. They create a lot of problems in the middle and their interchanges are very good, so we did a good job to hold them off."
On his goal:
I was thinking to myself, 'Geeze, how'd I miss that first one?' So I had to make up for it with the second one. Actually, I tried hitting the first one with the outside of my foot and completely mis-hit it. I was glad to pull one back for the team."
D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario
On the team's current run of form:
"Two wins back-to-back: that's what we wanted, so we're going to try and build off that. Keep moving forward, don't look back."
On his goal:
"The first couple plays I was telling Conor [Shanosky] to drive in to the first post. A couple times he did it and Chris [Pontius] kind of hit it more to the middle, so I said 'Listen, look for me back post. Wait for them to make a run and then look for me back post.' He played a good ball and I was able to finish it."
On playing up top with Chris Pontius:
"Yeah, I thought we did good. It's the first time this season, so there are little things we need to work on, but he's mobile and he reads the game well. Great finish, instinctual finish by him, which is always good to see. I'm very pleased with the win and I felt good with the partnership."
On the team's winning streak:
"Two hard opponents, two tough opponents, and two opponents that have proven their caliber against us in the League. And we came up in a Cup game—a game with a lot of importance—and rose to the occasion so that's good to see. Like I said earlier, now we just have to build on that momentum and just keep moving forward."
On his omission from the Canadian Gold Cup roster:
"I mean, I'm disappointed, but I know for a lot of the country this Gold Cup is an opportunity for a lot of people to see new faces. But it is what is. The coach made that decision, and I'm going to continue what I do here."
On whether his omission from the Gold Cup roster gave him any extra motivation:
No, hell no. I play for this club, this organization, to win. I don't dwell on that stuff and that's something they have to deal with. I wish the players all the best but me, I'm focused on this cup game. It's a huge game and I like these big games."
New England Revolution Head Coach Jay Heaps
On the game:
"Credit to D.C. – they came in and played a good game beat us 3-1."
On the second half:
I don't think we ever really did much in the game to really do enough to win. I think we've got to go and look at the film. We lost 3-1, and it's unfortunate because we should have had a little bit more energy. I felt like the energy wasn't good enough."
On the team's upcoming road trip:
"We've just got to turn around, recover and get ready for Saturday."
New England Revolution midfielder Juan Toja
On the loss:
"Obviously I feel bad because we lost. It was a great chance for us to go forward. It was very disappointing for me and for us, for the players, for New England. We tried to do our best, we were close to it, but unfortunately these things happen and we lost tonight."
On how the game changed when D.C. United went up 2-1:
"They scored at the end of the first half, which is hard. But we talked in the locker room, and we were focused. Since the first minute, we knew that we were going to have our chances. We jumped into it for the second half. I think we started so much better than the first half. We controlled the ball very good in the second half. I scored and then we had a couple of chances. The game was there for both as they had their chances too, but unfortunately in that corner they scored and then the spaces were very open as we were trying to score in any way and then unfortunately we conceded the third goal. I think we did a good job, we fought a lot and you can see that in the field. I'm very disappointed. I don't know what to say."
On the upcoming road trip:
"This is soccer – it works like that. We have a lot of games coming. We have one on Saturday night in Los Angeles. We have to forget this, but we have to see what was our good stuff and what was our mistakes and learn from it. Everytime you learn from good things and bad things, so that's what I personally do and I know the guys and the coach will stick with us and tell us. We have to look forward. We have MLS coming up, [and] we are looking forward to it."
New England Defender A.J. Soares
On the team's overall performance:
I thought we were the better team and should have got a better result if we would have really taken the game into our own hands but we let them stay in it and we let them come at us. In the end, they beat us because we let them beat us.
On the team's multiple near-misses:
Yeah, we had chances but we gave up three goals. We made mistakes on goals and we really shouldn't have let any goal in. Every single one of them was kind of a turn-off, but that happens in soccer and sometimes you have to score four to win. We didn't score four and we let in more than we scored, so that's just what happens.
On the team scoring at the start of the second half:
That was our goal. We wanted to come out and score in the first couple minutes and we did. We thought if we did that, we could take the game to them and get back on an even playing field knowing that we could just beat them in that half and take it one half at a time. But we let them back in it, we let them stay in it, and it hurt us in the end.
On the team's upcoming road trip:
We're professionals. We're going to let it go right now, tonight, and start thinking about the Chivas game. This game's over already in my mind. We're all focused on the Chivas game. We're going to do whatever we can to keep moving up the table in the league and Open Cup is over for us. We'll think about it next year, but from now on it's done.

THIS boy's brave teddy was preparing to try a daredevil stunt – zip-wiring from a church tower.
Youngsters queued up to give their teddy bears a thrill ride from a window of St Peter's Church tower to the ground.
Among them was Oliver Roberts, seven from Wolvercote, who paid £1 for each of his teddies Brian and Sky Teddy to have a go.
He said: "They enjoyed it."
His dad Manuel Berdoy said: "The teddies were going through a little window about six metres high.
"It was a marvellous bit of eccentricity. I've never seen anything like it, it was really good fun."
The event was part St Peter's Church fete, in First Turn, on Saturday.
Other attractions included Morris dancers, farm animals and a procession of children wearing masks.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 46
Adjacent Routes
A great little route up the steep wall and bulge 2m right of The Chimney to a large ledge. It has lost holds over the years, hence the upgrade.
Excellent route with good moves. Not overly protected though and take some micros.
One of the best routes at Cat Tro with some nice moves and good gear and rests at all the right places. Well protected HS 4c in my book and recommended.
Originally did this years ago - did it again today and found it a bit sparse on pro in the central section - would agree with the uplift to VS and maybe with 4c/5a (particularly for the shorter climber .... sorry Nat)
Definitely VS 5a. Hard-ish moves at the start with rubbish gear until you're well established. First time I did this (2-3 years ago) all my gear stripped at 20ft.
That is, fell out. I didn't fall though, so it was ok.
Not sure this merits 5a when compared to Peacemaker or Pearly Gate. Still a good route though.
5 what?? I think the original grade of 4b still stands. Nice route though.
Easy climbing but found the gear absolutely pap.

Name: Dirk Vermin, artist, musician, writer
Age: 43, "but I read at a 44-year-old level"
Day job: Tattoo artist and owner of Pussykat Tattoo parlor
Music: Lead vocals and guitarist for the Vermin.
Medium: Acrylic, tattoo ink
Looks can be deceiving: This tattoo-covered darling of Vegas counterculture is not nearly as mean as he looks. Some might even call him a pussycat. Sure, he likes his whiskey, he likes his guitars and he speaks his mind and offends anyone in earshot. But he's raising two daughters (ages 9 and 6), runs a small tattoo parlor and is an avid supporter of the arts. He plans to finish "Boredom Was The Reason," a book that he's writing on the late '70s and early '80s punk scene in Las Vegas, this year.
On music: Born in Las Vegas and a graduate of Bonanza High, Vermin was around when the punk bands were coming through what was then a very small town. He recorded his debut, "Vermin from Venus," in 1986, and founded the Vermin with bassist Rob Ruckus and drummer Turbo Proctor in 1999. The band's CDs are "A Fist Full of Hell" and "Joe's Shanghai."
Musical influence: L.A. punk band, Fear. Vermin was drawn to the band's sense of humor and the lead singer's level of maturity.
On tattoos: His tattoo career transpired after time spent in the Los Angeles art scene where his Bettie Page comic books were distributed and his work hung in galleries. He's a walking gallery with a young Elvis Presley on his leg, skulls around his neck, Vegas Vic on his left hand and Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe and Frankenstein on his arms.
About 1999, Vermin quit giving tattoos out of his kitchen and opened Pussykat Tattoo in a strip mall at Maryland Parkway and Tropicana Avenue. It wasn't easy, Vermin says, given that the industry was guarded and locked in by bikers. The shop has managed to survived even while corporate tattoo parlors seem to pop up on every corner.
On art: Wanting to give tattoo and underground artists some wall space, Vermin opened Gallery Au Go-Go next to his tattoo parlor. The first show was "White Trash Paradise," where bologna sandwiches and Pabst beer were served. He had curated "Tattoos and Trash," an exhibit of works by tattoo artists at the Funk House after a successful showing in Pomona, Calif. Gallery Au Go-Go ended after four years with the exhibit "Gallery Au Go-Go Must Be Destroyed," but it gave us the exhibits "Mondo Erotica," "Noche De Las Calaveras" and "Refrigerator Art," an exhibit of children's art.
Vermin still paints and last year completed a mural at Double Down in New York, a doppelgänger of the gritty Vegas dive dubbed "the birthplace of the bacon martini." He one of eight artists who designed a tiki mug for the new Frankie's Tiki Room on West Charleston Boulevard.
On Vegas: "There's an edge to Vegas that you can't find any other place. This town can eat you alive and destroy people because it doesn't say no. Anyone can say, 'It's 2 a.m. I can go get some crack or some Thai food!' It's available. But I have a life here. The friends I have are so close that we'd do anything for each other. I'm treated well here. My reputation is earned. It's real. It will stay intact."
Snippets from the unpublished "Boredom Was The Reason": "I've got ADHD with an OCD chaser and the attention span of a chimpanzee on a triple espresso. Reader, beware ...
"Las Vegas had one of the most active and thriving punk movements in the country. We ran our own shows, printed our own fliers, recorded our own music and caused our own demise. Whether or not the scene persisted is irrelevant. It happened then and it happened here ...
"The majority of bands who wear the punk moniker today are about as punk as an Osmond family reunion ...
Hobbies/interests: Whiskey, writing, music and art. "The only thing I have going for me is that I don't sleep anymore."
Sticking around? "Oh, yeah. I've got such tremendous roots here."

Someday I'll get around to writing a fill in the blanks form for journalists doing the inevitable urban homesteading backlash story. You know, "Folks are tired of all the chores and are dumping their [chickens/vegetables/bees] and returning to a life of [shopping/golfing/riding jet skis]." This month's backlash story concerns urban beekeeping in London.
Reader Cassandra Silver (who has a really beautiful blog) alerted us to a bee story in the Independent, "How do-gooders threaten humble bee." The gist of the article is that urban beekeepers in London have more hives than the nectar and pollen sources can support:
The London Beekeepers Association (LBKA) is warning that there could be "too many bees" in the Greater London area for the environment to sustain. One beehive needs 120kg of nectar and 20kg to 30kg of pollen a year to sustain its bees; honey production will decrease if there are not enough pollinator-friendly plants to meet demand.
I'm confused about the article and the quotes from the BLKA. Is the concern about the bees or about having less honey? Focusing on honey can indeed lead to bee overpopulation. Bee populations self-regulate. If there are not enough food sources colonies will die off.
That is, unless people are feeding bee colonies sugar to prop them up (and I assume they are because feeding bees is one of the many misguided bits of advice that mainstream beekeeping organizations promulgate). Natural beekeeper Michael Bush has many good reasons for not feeding bees except under certain limited circumstances. One of the unintended consequence of feeding bees is that you could easily contribute to an overpopulation problem. It would be better to let populations decline and stabilize, in my opinion.
One good thing that might come out of London's alleged bee overpopulation problem, that the article points out, is that the situation might prompt people to plant more flowering plants. Public and private urban spaces all over the world would benefit from landscaping that takes pollinators into account. Such landscapes tend to be beautiful, nourishing both to the bees and the human soul.
On Monday, the African bee myth.

The Exchange Rate in the Presence of Transaction Costs: Implications for Tests of Purchasing Power Parity
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): PIET SERCU, RAMAN UPPAL, CYNTHIA HULLE

With transaction costs for trading goods, the nominal exchange rate moves within a band around the nominal purchasing power parity (PPP) value. We model the behavior of the band and of the exchange rate within the band. The model explains why there are below‐unity slope coefficients in regression tests of PPP, and why these increase toward unity under hyperinflation or with low‐frequency data. Our results are independent of the presence of nontraded goods in the economy.

2013 Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training primer
Another active offseason, another anticipated summer.
Consistency has become the Tampa Bay Rays' calling card of late, and calculated moves this winter will make Joe Maddon's team one of the most fascinating to study in the American League East.
Consider the largest splashes:
— Third baseman Evan Longoria signed a $100 million extension through 2022 in November;
— General manager Andrew Friedman dangled All-Star pitcher James Shields and another right-hander, reliever Wade Davis, as trade assets for the Kansas City Royals to snap up in a December deal that could alter the direction of both franchises; in the process, the Rays gained four prospects — including prized outfield talent Wil Myers — from what's considered one of baseball's deepest farm systems.
— Later in January, veteran second baseman Kelly Johnson, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, added depth by agreeing to a one-year deal.
Where will the action lead? Earning the club's fourth playoff berth since 2008 should be the goal, after missing the postseason for the first time since 2010 last fall. The Rays won at least 90 games for the fourth time in five years, but they finished three games behind the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers for wild-card spots.
Another active winter? More anticipation?
It's just another flip of the calendar for one of major league's savviest franchises.
Key acquisitions: 2B Kelly Johnson, SS Yunel Escobar, OF Wil Myers, RHP Jake Odorizzi, 1B James Loney
Key losses: RHP James Shields, RHP Wade Davis, OF B.J. Upton, 1B Carlos Pena
Burning Questions
How much will the Rays miss James Shields?
His absence will be felt. Revisit the regular-season innings that Shields gave Tampa Bay over the past six campaigns: 215 in 2007 and '08, 219.2 in '09, 203.1 in '10, 249.1 in '11 and 227.2 in '12.
It's little wonder that Friedman called dealing Shields and Davis the most difficult trade he's made. Left-hander David Price's emergence is well-documented — he earned a career-low 2.56 ERA last season while winning the American League Cy Young Award — but he and the rest of the staff must fill the void left by Shields' departure.
The hole will be large, because Shields offered touch as well as endurance. He struck out a career-high 225 hitters in 2011, and he followed that effort by fanning 223 last season (Price finished second on the team with 205).
Tampa Bay still has skill on the hill. But adjustment will be required.
What can the Rays expect from Evan Longoria?
Longoria received a well-earned extension in the offseason, and it signified his growth as well as the maturation of the franchise under Friedman and owner Stuart Sternberg. Selected by Tampa Bay with the third overall pick of the 2006 draft, the three-time All-Star has cracked at least 118 hits during seasons in which he has played at least 122 games. The production positioned himself as an impact player for years to come in a Rays uniform.
Still, he sustained a setback last season. A left hamstring injury limited him to 74 games, 48 fewer than he played as a rookie in 2008, his previous career low.
Will he remain healthy? (He underwent surgery for the hamstring in November.) How will he manage the psychological pressures of signing the extension?
We'll discover the answers soon.
How much of an impact will Wil Myers make?
The acclaimed prospect's Tropicana Field debut will happen sometime, if not to start the season then perhaps soon after. The Rays gave up considerable depth within its rotation in acquiring Myers and other prospects, including Odorizzi. Still, Myers will receive the brightest spotlight among those involved in the trade, at least at the start.
Tampa Bay has reason to be excited about him. He was considered the minor league's top hitter among many last season, earning a .314 average with 37 home runs and 109 RBI in time split between Class AA Northwest Arkansas and Class AAA Omaha.
There are many traits to like: his athleticism, his potential for power and a sound IQ in the batter's box for a 22-year-old.
Who got the best of the swap between Tampa Bay and Kansas City? Time will tell.
Division Rivals
The New York Yankees, the defending AL East champions, locked in key talent but have uncertainty surrounding a fading star. Pitchers Andy Pettitte and Hiroki Kuroda were re-signed, as was reliever Mariano Rivera and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. But what will become of third baseman Alex Rodriguez? Allegations of PED use involving a South Florida clinic have placed the franchise in a difficult spot.
The Baltimore Orioles look to continue momentum a year after earning their first postseason berth since 1997. Manager Buck Showalter (five years) and general manager Dan Duquette (four years) received extensions in what was a relatively quiet offseason in Charm City.
The Toronto Blue Jays' winter was anything but tame, after the AL East's fourth-place finisher a season ago made bold moves. Shortstop Jose Reyes and infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio were among the high-profile names gained in the Miami Marlins' salary dump. They also acquired NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey from the Mets. Manager John Gibbons was hired to replace John Farrell, who went to the Boston Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox look to flip the page from the dysfunctional Bobby Valentine era. Hiring Farrell should produce a less combustible clubhouse environment. The signings of outfielder Shane Victorino, first baseman Mike Napoli and pitcher Ryan Dempster also are efforts to recover from a dreadful 69-93 campaign.

The "entitlements" meme is designed foremost to convince us that programs like Social Security are actually generous when in reality they are stingy. Some retirees can't even afford running water and electricity. Others have a new Christmas ritual: roaming around like gypsies in RVs looking for work. And they end up being driven like sled dogs in America's new sweat-warehouses.

text: Check it out from Robb Reports Home Entertaiment & Design. Man talk about FLAT! http://www.hedmag.com The chart shows the frequency response of the NHT Evolution U2 subwoofer, measured with a calibrated microphone positioned about 1/4-inch from the speaker cone. The subwoofer was driven with the supplied X1 crossover and A1 amplifier. The purple trace shows the response with the X1's low-pass filter deactivated, the green trace shows the response with the filter engaged and set to 80 Hz. (The low-pass filter blocks midrange and treble signals from reaching the subwoofer.) A frequency response measurement shows how consistently a subwoofer responds to different frequencies of sound. The flatter the curve looks, the better and more even a subwoofer will sound. Normally, when I measure a subwoofer, I take the peak level at the top point of a curve, find the frequency points in the upper and lower ranges that are 6 decibels lower than the peak, and specify the frequency response as the range between those two points. However, such a specification does not do justice to U2. Almost all subwoofers produce a curve that resembles a haystack—a gently rounded hump, with strong response in a fairly narrow frequency range, and declining response above and below that range. However, U2's response looks more like that of a well-designed full-range speaker. It is flat over an extended range—well up into the midrange, in fact, if the X1 crossover's low-pass filter is deactivated. Normally, I would specify U2's frequency response as ±3 dB from 21 to 250 Hz, which is an outstanding measurement. But it is more illustrative to state U2's frequency response as ±0.2 dB from 26 to 180 Hz. This is, in essence, perfect subwoofer performance—useful response down to 20 Hz, and dead flat response far past the point where the U2 will be crossed over to the main speakers. I have measured more than 100 subwoofers, and this is easily the best frequency response I have ever measured from any subwoofer, at any price. NHT's engineers must have done considerable equalization inside the X1 to get the response this flat. NHT also probably included a limiter to prevent the distortion that can often result when a small subwoofer cabinet like this is force to play so deep. Clearly, they took some steps to prevent distortion, as these measurements(and my listening impressions) indicate. You may notice that the subwoofer's response seems to fall off a cliff below 25 Hz. This is obviously the result of steep infrasonic filtering inside the X1, which is a very good idea—trying to reproduce frequencies below 20 Hz with this subwoofer would not result in an audible improvement, and would surely lead to distortion and a shorter product life. The X1's controls , at least on the review sample, have some problems. According to my measurements, the boundary compensation barely works at all—setting it for +6 dB produced no effect, while setting it for –6 dB resulted in only a 1 dB response dip centered at 40 Hz. Also, the low-pass filter adjustment is not accurately calibrated: My measurements show that the –3 dB point with the 80 Hz setting is actually at about 100 Hz. The filter, by the way, has a 24 dB/octave (fourth-order) response, which in my opinion is the best all-around choice for a subwoofer low-pass slope. I'm going on far too long for an article that's simply supposed to present a subwoofer measurement, but I have a hard time shutting up when I am so impressed. When I looked over the printed version of the U2 review in Home Entertainment & Design, I briefly regretted the statement that U2"delivers sound that compares favorably with that of any subwoofer I have heard." Surely, a $1,400 subwoofer could not be so good. But the measurements bear out my listening impressions. This is a very impressive piece of engineering.
