OK… a few thoughts. Maybe it's the new wonderful artwork by Mike for MOTO's header, maybe it's the season, maybe it's something else, but I have been thinking a lot about images recently. In the GD and magic we use images extensively to connect us with the divine beings and powers – so really I have been thinking more about imagery.
Though I am likely to invoke the wrath of a few anti-Christian nutters out there, it is quite clear that the sources for modern western magic developed within the Christian milieu. The background and backbone of many modern traditions, Rosicrucianism was started by heterodox Christians and is replete with Christian imagery and mysteries. This is a different thing to saying modern western magic is Christian.
One of the features that distinguishes Christianity from its main parent, Judaism is its use of religious imagery. Judaic (and Islamic) aversion to representations of divinity and divine presences, technically aniconism, is absent in most (modern) Christian traditions. This difference is often explained in terms of the mystery of Christ's Incarnation, the ultimate Godhead taking physical form, therefore the physical icon being a fit and holy representation and method to connect with Christ as the One.
Magic with its heterodox Christian, Hermetic and Pagan inspirations often uses images with gay abandon and nary a thought for the spiritual principles behind aniconism. The main applicable principle is that any representation of the divine, the One Thing, must be incomplete and therefore inaccurate and misleading, even offensive. The Hermetic, Christian and pagan approach is different, viewing the images as links to the mystery. Just as a Godform is both limiting the unknowable One and a method of connecting to the One, so too are representations of the Gods and divine beings. This explains the use of magical images associated with Sephiroth in Hermetic Qabalah, something that marks its break from traditional Jewish Kabbalah.
All well and good. However, one of the other concerns of aniconism is that any image, any representation must by necessity involve the human imagination, effort and mind. Since these are limited, the representations are limited and therefore can limit the observers of these images. A specific example is this image of 'the Horned Lord'.
Now the deity in question has only been around a couple of hundred years at best, being a modern western expression of an eternal reality and presence. Not that there's anything wrong with that. However, it is clear that this image is temporal in nature, extolling those virtues of masculinity – rugged good looks, a six pack abdomen and sculpted muscles – found in those stereotypes of ideal manhood beloved of Hollywood and men's magazines. There is no doubt he's well hung too.
Look also at these images of Isis and other divine or spiritual female beings. They represent modern sexual and physical fantasies of the ideal woman, thin waisted, size 8 with non-saggy tits, as much as they do the Goddess.
When we worship and commune with eternal mysteries and presences via temporal images that are pretty much (apart from the horns and embellishments) the same as we see in sexualised magazines, I think there may be problems. This is not because sex is a problem, not because physical beauty is a problem, or even the abs. It is because we mix the realms – being conditioned to respond in a certain way to sexualised and perfect images of the human body, we will respond in the same way when we worship via these images.
Now we can argue it is fine to be sexually aroused and interested during our worship, and that is all right. However, the point is that the sexual impetus is instigated from culturally and temporally conditioned factors, not from a personal and inner connection with the divine. There is a big difference; one locks us into a limited time-space approach to the divine, and the other allows the Gods to inform and inspire our reactions. We should remember that what we see as beautiful and sexy today was not so throughout all history. Ancient Greek depictions of penises were often small because a large penis was considered a sign of barbarianism and a small penis a sign of civility. Skinny women were not considered sexy only a hundred years ago.
I am not only saying that divine images date themselves, but that if we are not careful we make the gods in our own image. Of course, as I mentioned with the Horned Lord, we as a culture do that, and have always done that. However, to use images, attributes and ideas associates with sexual attraction and beauty we are risking making the Gods simply larger, divine images of our pin-up models. There is a (now old) joke that it is telling that Wiccans refer to their deities by the same title they give to their priesthood, Lord and Lady. This is not having a go at Wiccans, simply pointing out how we need to consider our images of the divine very carefully.
The Hebrew word translated as 'holy', QDSh or Qodosh has roots that mean to 'keep separate', 'apart', to 'make holy'. This is a principle I personally use in my practice. Any images of the divine are separate from those I see in my daily life. The words I use for Christ are Hebrew and Aramaic, to avoid linkage with jokes and blasphemy about 'Jesus'. This Qodosh principle is used extensively in western magic and modern Neo-paganism, apart from it seems our images of the divine. Why do we keep our tools, robes and talismans separate from the herd, but not our images? Now, I know there are some traditions that use 'what's at hand', and seeing a traditional cunning man literally pick up what's in the kitchen and work the deepest magic, I understand this. But this is a completely different approach from magic and modern paganism.
Representing the Image
The images we have of divinity naturally affect how we imitate, represent and worship divinity. Traditional religious dress is almost uniformly, regardless of culture and time, a uniform itself. Tibetan monks wear the same robes as other monks. Christian priests wear the same outfit as others of their sect and/or order. Nuns all looked, once upon a time, a little like penguins. The idea of course is to transmute and translate individuality towards a universal transcendent reality, be that God or enlightenment. This is not to say the robes and clothes themselves do not have meaning and symbolism, they most certainly do, only that the meaning is determined by the collective, not the individual.
Again, this is something that many modern Neo-pagans and some magicians have moved away from. Individual robes are often well, just that – individual. Heck, I once wore a paisley satin robe to a Wiccan conference (don't ask why) 🙂 This expression of individualism is probably very good … I think… in some ways. However, I do worry about it, as the cult of the individual in the west has all sorts of nasty side effects. I am sure we can surrender and transmute our individual nature wearing individually chosen togs, but if they are chosen for lower self reasons, I think we hamper ourselves.
I once participated in wonderful weekend workshop with the Druid Priestess Emma Restall-Orr. I loved the workshop and learned a lot. During the weekend she referred more than once to how she would start her discussions on paganism, with groups like schoolchildren, by writing the question 'do you think religion should be sexy?' on the blackboard. Naturally this would get the audience's attention and deliver a winning blow to any vicar she was competing against. All very good, but when she arrived on the last night for the main ritual she was dressed in robes clearly chosen for their glamour and sex appeal. She walked past, swirling her skirts/robes in a very powerful gesture. My Druid friend, a straight man, was obviously effected and later said for him this display meant 'the Priestess had arrived'. So, a good thing, I guess … but I still wonder if a mature Dion Fortune, the Priestess of the 20th century, had ambled by, if the same affect would occur. And on that note, take a look at two other Priestesses whose power could roast chestnuts…
It seems in some way that where Neo-Paganism has gone, the Church may be following. How else do we explain this report on the latest clerical fashions for the Church of England, allowing Vicars to personalise at will? :). It all seems like a bit of window dressing to me, just like making the pulpits ready to dock the Vicar's iPad. Give me an old fashioned cassock and King James Bible any day 🙂 Thanks for listening…

Although the xu86 is not touted as an HD capable PJ it is able to display HD images via DVI, or component to 15pin D-sub adapter. The latter should, however, not be dismissed as a poor mans connection for those who wish to enjoy their Blu-Rays or HD-DVDs', more as an alternative to the DVI input. This hookup may come in handier for those who wish to display images from ,say, a ps3 but need to access the HD audio via HDMI to go to a Home Cinema reciever. This is how i've used this unit for nearly 5 months now, and can safely say as long as you remember its' limitations you should be more than happy with the image it can produce. Be careful not to over saturate the image in the setup menus' and you'll be fine. Ps3 users wishing to display HD games and Blu-Ray on a budget this is just for you.

While you can see that the system is less than speedy, it is nice to see that somebody has ported the current Android OS 1.0 system to Nokia's Internet Tablet platform. In this particular case the somebody is the NthCode, and the particular Internet Tablet in question is the keyboard equipped N810.
In fact, NthCode's CEO, Peter McDermott, wrote up a nice summary on the entire porting process, even going into details about the differences between the various Linux kernel versions and what Google and Nokia changed in them. It's an interesting read for you dev-heads out there.
For the rest of you that just want to see it working, check out the video below:

SO CLOSE - New Album
In his fourth album 'So Close' Thierry Condor once again draws upon the U.S. West Coast Pop of the 1980s, but adds new flavour to the style.
His personality is evident on the entire album and he speaks to the listener directly; his singing profile has become even more distinct and original.
Amongst others, the album contains three compositions until now unpublished.


text: Every day, Google's Street View cars capture massive amounts of data and the company then publishes them on Google Maps at regular intervals. Until now, the only images you could see on Google Maps were the latest images. Starting Wednesday, however, you will also be able to go back in time and see older images. When you're in the Street View interface, you will now see a small clock icon on the page. Once you click that, a preview image with a timeline underneath it will appear and allow you to see the older images. It looks like Google's Street View cars pass by most locations about twice per year. There is a bit of variation here, however, and some urban areas especially have more historical images available while some rural areas may have fewer. In many regions of the world, Google only started collecting this imagery in the last few years (it launched in the U.S. in 2007), so that may also limit the availability of historical images.

Download, Burn. Share
There are now many hundreds of films on a whole variety of subjects: finance, the police state, economic collapse, supressed cures, disease, health, permaculture etc that you can legally download and burn to disc, and downloading, burning and sharing films is a great way to inform and educate those you care about and that are still in darkness on so many important issues. Try Films for action or Free documentaries for ideas
Getting it right though can be a time consuming process and a little daunting to those unfamiliar with the process and the software so, seeing as I'm a fuckin expert at this, I'll explain it for those that may be interested. Within an hour you will be able to download and burn films to disc perfectly and consistently time after time and all completly free except for the cost of the disc. Read on if your interetsed.
The first thing you will need is a torrent download programme. Go here and download 'Utorrent free'. We never pay for anything. Then forget about it. This is the programme that will download your film from the source(explained next)
Next you want a film, two of my favourites are Food Matters and Money as Debt, most people I meet end up with a copy of one or both of these films
The links above are at 'Isohunt' a torrent hosting site. Simply click 'download torrent' and utorrent will open automatically , click 'open file' and utorrent will begin downloading, you can turn it off for a week, a month, whatever and it will continue downloading when you open utorrent again and you will have a perfect film, usually in avi or mp4 format that you can watch on the computer with a media player. If you have a good internet connection you can have a film in 3 hours.
To find a film simply type the name of the film followed by the word torrent in google ie
Food matters torrent, or
Money as Debt torrent
and click the links that originate at either isohunt or piratebay(the best) check the comments on the torrent to make sure it's a good file, hit download torrent and get the film.
Once you have the film you need a programme to burn it to disc. This where utorrent comes in again we're going to get the burning programme for free, we're going to use this:
Covert X to DVD.
download the torrent, should take about 10 mins, open exe file, install programme(its clean) and your up and running
To use the programme open it and select 'add files' at top left, navigate to your file(film) and hit the 'convert' button at bottom right(make sure you have a disc in the drive) the programme will convert and burn the disc If your in USA go into settings and select NTSC and if in UK or europe select PAL for burn spec first) Takes about an hour to convert and 10 mins to burn. Works perfect everytime
And thats it. I'll monitor comments if you have any problems

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: 2017 Outlook: CIS and Georgian Banks here MOSCOW/LONDON, December 09 (Fitch) Sector outlooks for CIS and Georgian banks for 2017 are diverging, reflecting how far recent recessions and currency devaluations will continue to affect lender performance, Fitch Ratings says. Our sector outlooks are now stable in Russia, Armenia and Ukraine, where we do not expect further significant weakening of banks' financial metrics. Sector outlooks in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Belarus remain negative. These countries have experienced sharp currency depreciations and foreign-currency (FC) lending is high, while regulators have yet to fully quantify asset-quality risks and promote recapitalisation. Outlooks in Georgia and Uzbekistan remain Stable. Russian banks' sector outlook mirrors the stabilisation in the Russian economy and the rouble. Most banks' pre-impairment profit should be enough to reserve problem loans without hitting capital, although bottom-line earnings will be muted at most banks and lending growth will be limited. The central bank will take steps to absorb excess rouble liquidity, while FC liquidity will remain sound and sufficient to allow banks and corporate borrowers to meet external debt repayments. We expect Ukrainian banks' financial metrics to stabilise at weak levels. The regulator's asset-quality review has reduced the potential for negative shocks, but large provisioning, and hence capital, shortfalls mean bank recapitalisation plans and regulatory forbearance on capital levels remain important drivers of the sector outlook. Liquidity has stabilised with deposit flows and the restructuring (maturity extensions) of bank Eurobonds. Kazakh banks' liquidity profiles are robust, but capitalisation is vulnerable (with the exception of Halyk Bank) considering moderate provisions on distressed loans, risks from FC lending and the failure to clean up balance sheets. Potential resolution measures are unclear ahead of the National Bank of Kazakhstan's planned asset-quality review, now scheduled for the end of 2017. Azerbaijan's banks face capital and liquidity pressures from currency mismatches and asset-quality deterioration in heavily dollarised loan books. Material capital shortfalls and large losses mean we expect further bank failures and clean-up measures next year. However, substantial state support for International Bank of Azerbaijan remains in place and we expect the clean-up of the bank's balance sheet to be completed next year. Rating Outlooks in the region are mostly Stable, as ratings are already low, performance and financial metrics in some markets are stabilising and most sovereign Outlooks are Stable. The Negative Outlook in Azerbaijan reflects a combination of deteriorating bank profiles and the Negative Outlook on the sovereign rating.

The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed. The information in this report is provided "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT (publ. 2/1/2013, page A2)
A chart that accompanied the Facebook earnings story incorrectly reported the company's profit in two quarters. Facebook had a net loss of $157 million in the second quarter of 2012 and a net loss of $59 million in the third quarter.
MENLO PARK — Facebook's latest earnings report showed faster sales growth and substantial progress in building its mobile ad business, but skittish investors drove its stock price down in late trading Wednesday.
The social networking giant reported revenue and earnings that slightly surpassed Wall Street's expectations, as mobile advertising more than doubled and overall sales grew at a faster rate than it has in two previous quarters, after showing signs of slowing over the summer.
"Today there's no argument. Facebook is a mobile company," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a conference call with analysts, after reporting that for the first time, the number of daily users who surfed the social network on smartphones and tablets exceeded those using desktop computers in the last quarter of 2012.
But Facebook's stock fell sharply, at one point dropping 10 percent below its closing price of $31.24, as it seesawed up and down in the hours after the company issued its report. Analysts said some investors may have decided to take profit from the stock's recent gains in value, while others may have been hoping for even better results.
"Expectations were pretty high," said Colin Sebastian of the Robert W. Baird investment firm, who noted that several analysts recently raised their estimates for the company. He also said some investors were probably spooked because Facebook executives said they plan to spend heavily on hiring more staff and developing new products in 2013, rather than focus on maximizing profit.
"That's going to give investors a little bit of pause," Sebastian said. But aside from those factors, he added, "it was a very good quarter."
Facebook reported net income of $64 million on sales of $1.58 billion for the quarter that ended in December. Revenue rose 40 percent from a year ago, while profit fell 78 percent as the company incurred charges related to employee stock options.
Earnings per share amounted to 3 cents, or 17 cents after excluding those one-time charges. That beat Wall Street's expectations for earnings of 15 cents a share, excluding one-time charges, on revenue of $1.53 billion.
Buoyed by new advertising products and a surge in holiday ad spending, Facebook's revenue growth outpaced the 32 percent rate it reported in two previous quarters. Its mobile ad business grew even faster, as mobile revenue rose to $305 million or nearly a fourth of the company's total ad business.
That's significant progress, according to analyst Josh Olson of the Edward Jones investment firm, who noted that Facebook warned investors last spring that it was making virtually no money from the growing number of users who access the service on smartphones and tablets.
"They said they were going to focus on mobile and they have executed there," Olson said. "They've built the mobile business from zero to 23 percent of the ad revenue mix in about nine months."
Underscoring the importance of mobile ads, Facebook said 680 million of its 1.06 billion monthly active members are using Facebook on mobile gadgets.
Zuckerberg announced the company's earnings just days after two of its biggest online rivals, Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO), issued strong financial reports of their own. While Google is still the industry leader in mobile advertising, experts say Facebook is starting to gain traction in key areas.
By inserting commercial messages into the news feed that appears on smartphone and tablet screens, Facebook garnered 18.4 percent of the money that businesses spent on mobile display advertising in 2012, according to research firm eMarketer, while Google had about 17 percent.
Google still commands more than 53 percent of the $4 billion mobile ad market, however, because it dominates another category of mobile ads — delivering commercial messages when people submit Internet search queries on mobile devices. Facebook is developing its own search engine, but Google currently has about 93 percent of the mobile search ad business.
Some experts say the popularity of mobile gadgets will help Facebook because it's able to command far higher fees for its news feed ads than it charges for older-style advertising that it shows on the right-hand side of Facebook pages on desktop computers.
Brand-name advertisers are shifting to the news feed format, according to Lucy Jacobs of the San Francisco digital ad firm Spruce Media. She said the rate at which viewers click on those news feed ads has been increasing, which shows that users are responding to those messages.
During the conference call, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg touted the early success of news feed ads as well as new Facebook programs that let advertisers reach targeted audiences and then track how often they lead to both online and offline purchases.
Facebook will focus on improving its ad programs in 2013, said Zuckerberg, who warned investors not to expect significant revenue growth this year from other sources, such as online retailing. Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman also reported that revenue from online games was unchanged from a year ago.

WASHINGTON, March 13 (UPI) -- Federal officials say they are reviewing the details of an alleged act of rage by U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., at Washington Dulles International Airport.
Transportation Security Administration officials said a report accuses Vitter of activating an alarm by opening a security door in an attempt to board a United Airlines flight, The Washington Post said Friday.
Vitter's alleged attempt to enter a jet bridge on March 5 is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor under airport security regulations.
Vitter has admitted in a statement he inadvertently went through a wrong door at a Dulles gate, but has dismissed a report of a bitter run-in with an airline employee.
Meanwhile, National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brian Walsh defended the Louisiana Republican by pointing out how the media approached a similar airport incident involving U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.
"There's a clear double standard here on how this story is being covered versus Senator Schumer using his office to have a US Airways plane leaving LaGuardia early," he told the Post, referring to Schumer's alleged use of his position to get a LaGuardia Airport shuttle to leave New York ahead of schedule.

Vermonters in the Civil War
Collection Overview
Vermont soldiers in the Civil War wrote an enormous quantity of letters and diaries, of which many thousands have survived in libraries, historical societies, and in private hands. This collection represents a selection of letters and diaries from the University of Vermont and the Vermont Historical Society.
The collection currently includes materials dating from 1861-1863, and will grow with additional materials throughout the years of the sesquicentennial commemoration, from 2011 through 2015. Materials were selected for digitization to provide a variety of perspectives on events and issues. The voices represented in the collection include private soldiers and officers, as well as a few civilians. All of the extant Civil War-era letters or diaries of each of the selected individuals (at least, all that are to be found in the participating institutions' collections) will eventually be included; each adds a certain experience and point of view to the whole.
Officers in the photo above are (from left to right): Lieutenant Colonel Charles B. Stoughton, Colonel Edwin H. Stoughton, Major Harry N. Worthen. All are from the Fourth Vermont Infantry Regiment.

It has been 20 years since we've seen anything like this.
The American League East standings at this hour feature the Red Sox in last place and the Yankees in next-to-last place. It is the first time since October 1, 1992 that things have unfolded this way, which means that it is fitting that the Blue Jays, who won it all that year, were the team bopping the Yankees down the ladder the last two days.
Toronto swept the brief two-game series in a 4-1 win on Thursday night that continued the Yankees offense's season-long search for itself. If not for Phil Hughes, once the team's leading whipping boy, the game would have never been that close.
Hughes allowed just a two-run home run to Jose Bautista in his 5.1 innings, giving the offense plenty of time to put some crooked numbers on the board and grab the lead for themselves. The Yankees went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, though, and they have now scored one run or less in nine games this season, tied for the most in the league.
Mark Teixeira's cough has been hacking all season, but Teixeira himself remains lost at the plate. He was responsible for three of those eight failures with runners in scoring position and is pushing the limits of his own historically pathetic starts.
Alex Rodriguez got the night off on Thursday, but that might not have made any kind of difference given how wrong his season has been. He's hitting a homer once in every 27.2 at-bats, continuing a slow, unyielding decline for a player who really needs to turn things around if he's going to still be considered a power hitter.
The rest of the offense hasn't been quite as bad, but sandwiching two flailing players in the middle of everything is a good way to keep things from catching fire. When you throw in a rotation that's been shaky, to say the least, after CC Sabathia, you've got a team that has two three-game losing streaks in what's been a losing month overall.
Here's the bright side to all of this, though. The Yankees have a little bit of everything go wrong for them thus far and they still sit at 20-18 in a division that no one is running away with a quarter of the way through the season.
That doesn't mean that there's some brilliant run right around the corner, although it's hard not to look at the backs of the baseball cards of this lineup and believe that better days are still ahead. It's entirely possible that Rodriguez and Teixeira won't hit a bit this season, but it's not the likeliest outcome and the Yankees should take some solace in that point.
They should also take some solace in the fact that Hughes pitched well again because the only way they are going to really set off on a streak is by getting consistently good starting pitching over a long stretch of time. The arrival of Pettitte and sparks of life from Hughes are two reasons to think that they could pull off such a run.
As the natives get more restless, it's important to remember that this is still the team that everyone thought was going to the playoffs 38 games ago. Perspective can get lost when you're in the middle of the mess, but teams have been in far worse shape than this and gone on to have perfectly great seasons so we'd advise staying the course a little bit longer.
If the Yankees' aimlessness doesn't fade away by the end of the month, that advice is going to start going stale. Memorial Day is a milepost that you can use for an actual snapshot of where teams stack up in terms of the bigger picture and for the sanity of the city the Yankees are urged not to pass it while they are still in fourth place.

The Dark Knight Rises has its villains now. Anne Hathaway is joining the cast as Selina Kyle, a role Michelle Pfeiffer played in the original Batman. Hathaway will suit up as Catwoman!
It will be interesting to see how Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Catwoman, as Michelle Pfeiffer played it so great.
Tom Hardy, from Inception, is also joining the cast as Bane. That character played a brief role in Batman & Robin, which is regarded to as the worst of the Batman films.
Bane is an escaped prisoner who became abnormally strong after being pumped full of drugs. In the comics, Bane actually breaks Bruce Wayne's back.

Like The Thread Says.. Thanks People!
I Love Pictures!
Here are the twins:
A little something for you SUV lovers:
View attachment 512542
And the little brother that started my obession with these damn cars:
I gotta few pictures but they are too large. Anyone wanna help me shrink them? Thanks.
not too many pics but here is a bad quality one...lol
Several images of the current, and former in various galleries at the Saleen Club of America Club website under "Event Image Gallery" link.
Link in sig.
Here are a couple I took today.
Here's mine, 1987 Saleen #197. Originally Black but now Maroon. I'm getting it painted this winter but I can't decide to either go back to black or stay with this color. Any suggestions?
Damn that convertable would look good in my driveway. Come on man it rains too much out there for that. I can put mine in the mail and return yours to me if you wanna. I must say that will be the next car for the wife. Remember "Black is Beautiful".
Every time i see that red foxbosy saleen i want to cry. Its so damn nice!
Hell that car would be nice in any color. Your car is definately a "neck breaker".
I'm actually leaning towards leaving it this color, I get allot of coments on how nice this color is. Black looks great but this is a very rare color for 87, only 3 originally came with this color. I took it out yesterday for a cruise, went down to Team Ford, the guys down there flipped over it. They were dynoing my friends 89 SSC I just installed a vortech on, he made 312rwhp and 336rwtq. Not bad for a start on his. They were impressed with the numbers on my car, 508rwhp and 465rwtq. I couldn't resist leaving in a clowd of tire smoke! hehehehehe..
Please leave it that color. Everyone has had a black fox body Saleen, even me! Don't get me wrong, I love black, just leave it that color. Just like you said, very rare.
The 3 pc Sterns sure look great on your car George..I can look at your ride all day long, both exterior and under the hood.
a couple more
Last one.
Thanks, I'm leaning more and more towards leaving it now
StangFan how many Saleens do u own DAMN.
Ok here is mine...

Communicating about invasive species- a good podcast!
I recently subscribed to the Ecological Society of America's podcast "Beyond the Frontier," which features engaging interviews (usually 10 to 15 minutes, perfect timing for the walk to work) with scientists who have recently published in one of ESA's journals. One of my favorite episodes is an interview with Dr. Richard Shine at the University of Sydney, about the cane toad invasion of Australia, one of the most well studied and documented biological invasions. In the short but insightful interview, Dr. Shine discusses some practical and thoughtful options for controlling cane toads. Using the toads as a case study, he also discusses public attitudes and actions towards invasive species, and the importance of engaging with community groups.
First Dr. Shine describes the extent of cane toad "hysteria" that has occurred in parts of Australia, due to impacts on native species (especially predators that try to eat them) and the development of general and strong public aversion to the toads. The public is very aware of the invasion. Many local groups actively try to eliminate the toads by collecting and euthanizing adult toads ("toad busting"). Dr. Shine points out that even though the goal (fighting invasive species) is admirable, the methods are ineffective because a single female toad can lay tens of thousands of eggs; collecting single toads, even with hundreds of volunteers, cannot keep up with this rate of reproduction.
Importantly, the interview then turns to discussing the diversity of viewpoints that people have about invasive species- fear, affection, anthropomorphism, naturalistic interest, moralistic, an attitude of dominion. Different public groups may have different feelings about invasive wildlife (or plants) and thus different approaches to dealing with the issue- some local groups may fight against the invasive species while other groups fight to protect them on grounds of humane treatment or because they prefer the introduced species (e.g. for economic or ornamental value). This is the case for the coqui frog in Hawaii and the grey squirrel in Europe. Such viewpoints contrast with those of the researcher, whose goal is to use logic and experimental results to understand ecological processes or impacts. Shrine emphasizes that to effectively explain their research and how it supports certain control practices over others, the researcher must understand the viewpoint of the different public groups.
Dr. Shine emphasizes that scientists must talk (or blog!) to the public more, as public opinion then trickles up to local and regional public leaders. Scientists must also understand the pressures on local leaders- economic, social and political. For example, political leaders are expected to take some immediate action, such as collecting and killing toads, even though the science may say that such removal has no real effect.
Towards the middle of the interview, Dr. Shine then discusses his research into cane toad ecology and the many alternative methods of controlling the invasion- utilizing predators and parasites of the toads, exploiting toad pheromones to attract or stress them, supporting the competitive native toads, and fostering vegetation around the water bodies where they go to reproduce. These solutions, often using the native species in the fight, can be integrated for a strong, multifaceted, science-based response. However, such an applied research program is not so common among academics (or funding from science agencies), and thus there is a knowledge vacuum about effective control methods in various situations. In addition, Shrine notes that control approaches must be explained to the public and political leaders, and actions must be undertaken in dialogue and cooperation with local groups, as also emphasized in a recent article in Conservation Biology.
The discussion concludes by emphasizing that the emotional response of the public is one of the main factors determining whether an invasive species control effort succeeds or fails. But don't take my word for it, go listen to the podcast or read the accompanying article in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

A CREDIT union worker was attacked and bitten by a German Shepherd as she visited a Newton Aycliffe house to collect payment.
The female employee was attacked as she visited Kristen Keane, 24, and his mother Susan Dobinson, 55, at their home in Blackton Close at 5.30pm on July 24.
Prosecutor Alison Howey told Newton Aycliffe magistrates that the dog attacked the victim while she was in the kitchen with Dobinson.

The dog jumped up at the worker and bit her several times leaving her with puncture wounds.
The victim left the house and Keane followed and was abusive.
The victim then went back to get her belongings and Keane again began to abuse her and a friend, so they drove off.
Graham Hunsley, mitigating, said Keane and Dobinson believed that the dog had not been near the kitchen at the time.
He said they had since looked at putting measures in the house to pen the dog in.
Keane and Dobinson both pleaded guilty to a charge of being a person in control of a dangerous dog out of control.
They were given unconditional bail and a pre-sentence report was requested. They will be back at court on Thursday, September 18.

I've already written about Hillary Rodham Clinton's keynote address at the BIO 2014 biotech convention in San Diego. But I've been remiss in posting video. Here it is.
The two short video clips are just a fraction of what Clinton said at the keynote last Wednesday. Nearly all her talk was about other issues, from Iraq to the national debt. But Jim Greenwood, president and CEO of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, did elicit Clinton's views on two topics of great interest to the biotech industry: government subsidies to offset risk, and genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Clinton said the biotech industry can make progress in gaining acceptance of GMO crops by stressing their benefits over traditional crops. The name sounds "Frankensteinish," Clinton said, so it's not helpful to focus on how the crops are made, but instead to stress what they can do.
The clicking sound you hear is me furiously typing away.
On government subsidies, Clinton said biotech-rich states such as California have shown the way by providing financial assistance, such as through the $3 billion California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. But there also needs to be an overarching federal policy and help for patients who can't afford to pay for biotech products.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

WINNIPEG -- After sending her children to daycare with a lunch of roast beef, carrots and potatoes, Kristen Bartkiw was fed a $10 fine.
The reason: An unbalanced meal.
Despite the presence of a meat, vegetable, fruits and juice, the meal was missing a grain. The solution was to give the Rossburn, Man., school teacher a $10 fine and give her children Ritz Crackers as a supplement.
"I don't blame the daycare," said Bartkiw, who was actually on the board of The Little Cub's Den when they decided to start fining parents.
According to Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care when at a daycare a child's lunch must include a milk product, a meat, a grain and two servings of fruit or vegetables. If the child is missing one of these the daycare provider must provide a supplement.
"We chose to do it as a more of a deterrent, because parents were sending their children a lunch with only a pizza pop," she said.

I just got the turbo down from the loft, and when I explained what it's for to my 5 year old son he said "oh yes, like the hamster one..."
I just got the turbo down from the loft, and when I explained what it's for to my 5 year old son he said "oh yes, like the hamster one..."
Of 6 year olds:
I've decided I don't want a Wii for christmas, I want an mp3 player instead.
<with mild panic> Why don't you want a wii any longer?
Because Elsa's (her sister) asked Father Christmas for one too and I'll be able to play on hers.
Yesterday I got:
"We have proper winter at our house, because when it's winter outside it's winter inside as well"
They are magic, mine are 4 and almost 7. They never fail to amuse me. They are in the middle of putting togther some sort of Christmas dance routine to 'Mariah'.
Of 2 year olds
Seeing the front cover of Sunday Times Style magazine a couple of months ago
Large photo of tanned and oiled buxom model lounging on beach with all the bits artfully covered with sand.
Daughter saw it and said "Dirty Girl"
I bet she is I thought
3 year old watching Mrs Toys feeding the baby
"Daddy your boobs are nearly as big as mummies, but they don't work do they?"
My six year old last week
Yes darling
Who made God?
Erm............. go and ask your mother
toys19 - thats genius!!!!
A mates kid was in church for a christening. She spent the entire service staring quizzically at the ceiling before confidently announcing to the assembled congregation
"Yes. Its definitely big enough for a giraffe"
They do have a painfully efficient way of popping your ego don't they!
Mine are a little older now, but I do remember this with some affection: http://pickled-hedgehog.com/?p=244
toys19 - thats genius!!!!She is a precocious little monster and loves to take Daddy down whenever possible.
After stringing fairy lights and tinsel round the house, I asked my 7yr old if she liked the decorations... "Daddy, I think you've gone mad" she replied!
My mum told me a hilarious one. At Overbecks, the national trust property above the Salcombe estuary, there's an information board about pirates. A dad asked his daughter what she thought the pirates did with the treasure they stole. She said "sell it all on ebay."
Daddy, you're always talking the jokes, and NO ONE thinks you're funny.
Thanks son.
As well as pointing out my hamster like qualities, my little boy also likes to regularly remind me that "mummy is his favourite because she has the lovliest tummy in the world and yours is furry..."
And I can't really argue with that.
Many many classic quotes from my 3 year old including (having just eaten a chocolate finger) "Daddy, can I have another chocolate thumb".
Also, when he was younger, he could quite say the word "rocket", so, when walking through the Early Learning Centre in Merry Hill he pointed at the toy rockets and shouted at the top of his voice "F*cket"
She is a precocious little monster and loves to take Daddy down whenever possible.
Takes after her father?
I went to leave for work this week and my 20 month old said to me 'bye bye daddy' followed with 'miss you' - nearly started to well up there and then on the spot!!
If I pass wind she looks at me and says 'silly daddy'.
It's the looks she gives though, if looks could kill when she is asked to do something she doesn't want to we'd all be dead!!!
I don't have any kids, but my nephews seem to have the right idea. There are four of them; 2 are 2yo and 2 are 4yo.
They seem to take great pleasure in grabbing my other half boobs and always seem to get away with it....
Whilst frying some mini chipolatas to make pigs in blanket, Stoner Jr (Aged 3 11/12): "I like those daddy. They're like willies"
Maybe yours, son, maybe yours.
My 11 month old isn't talking yet but she did very kindly put MrsP's mobile down the hole into the bass speaker for the surround sound thingy last night. It is a bit like a lobster pot so after an hour trying to get it out with tongs and various other kitchen implements through the hole in teh front through which it entered we had to admit defeat. Had to take the back off and the cut open the internal box and will have to mend the big hole with some ply this weekend.
She wasn't the most popular housemate last night...
My 4 yr old this morning whilst looking through the argos catalogue "daddy if you bought me this trumpet I would play it every morning"
I feined sleep
3 year old. 1st of December; "If I eat all the chocolate in this calendar will I have to go into the naughty corner?".
In a shop in Dubai.
English mother and (probably about 5 year old) daughter browsing the shelves when in walk 3 burqa clad women. The daughter says:
"Look Mummy more witches."
When my sister had her 2nd, my eldest niece announced on the phone "Mummy's had a baby, it's one girl!"
One girl, I asked my sis?
Evidently the woman in the next bed at hospital had twin boys...
I am happily without kids (or girlfriend come to think of it...) but at an XC running race a couple of years back a five year old girl started talking to me whilst I was looking at the course information board:
"Are you doing the senior race?"
A glance at her mother "Yes..."
"Oh good. My Daddy's doing the senior race."
Time to cut away methinks "Really?"
"Yes, and then he's going to have a mid-life crisis."
Cue hysterical laughter on my part and a look of complete terror on her mother's face.
That's gold Roadie!
Other day my four year old while watching balamory saw the girl in the wheelchair and said why can't she walk is it cos she's fat ? While I worked out how best to explain she said oh it can't be that cos rose the cook at nursey is really fat and she can walk. The girl on tv must be fat and lazy
On priming our 3 year old for her Christmas present...
Me - "What do you think of these Guinea Pigs?"
Her - "They are silly, stupid and they don't do anything but just sit there and do nothing."
Me - "Oh..."
Going to be an interesting morning in a couple of days, anyone want a Guinea Pig and homemade hutch? Can I put it in the 'for sale' forum, I see there are a few pigs for sale in there.
And finally, she's recently started shouting "Cock" at the top of her voice, before a long pause and "-a-doodle-do" much to the relief of everyone present.
After a fancy dress party where a guest came as a Minstrel, she became obsessed with them. On entering Costco a few days later down in Cardiff she blurts out "Look another minstrel!" There was no explaining that one.
he pointed at the toy rockets and shouted at the top of his voice "F*cket"
haha, my daughter makes a similar sound when trying to say "quack quack" like a duck.
We don'r pretend to be ducks when we're out in public any more.
I had trouble with words beginning with the letter 'a' as a kid, which led me to shout "look mum a wanchor!" cue red faces all around.
After watching Avatar my son casually remarked "Americans are such ****".
Devastatingly accurate character assessment based on the films content, which holds for many of the US population if not all. I didn't reprimand him on the use of the **** but did point out that it was basically a reworking of the Pocahontas story which, by his definition, made us the ****.
Edit: I should point out that my son isn't 5. He's 12. And I have tried to prevent his swearing in the house but his mother has a terrible case of toilet mouth
Our friend's little girl (2.5 year old) came running into the room and showed us a dance she'd seen on the telly. The words to this dance were (and it took us all days to work this out), "crunch", "crunch", "crunch". it turns out "cr" comes out more like "c" and "ch" comes out more like "t". We didn't stop laughing for hours!
My 2 year old neice won't come near me if I've not got a t-shirt on, because apparently she doesn't like my boobies.
I tried not to be hurt.

IWC hosts Jamboree
Iowa Wesleyan College is hosting a girls' basketball Jamboree tonight at Ruble Arena.
Twelve local teams are attending the event, and each team will play a half-game.
The IWC women's basketball coach, Steve Williamson, will be at the games with his assistant, Anna Jones.
"We'll be there watching — we've recruited a few kids out of this in the past, but not a lot," Williamson said.
However, the coach sees that changing in the future, as the move to NCAA Division III encourages coaches to recruit more high school students.
The schedule for the night is listed below. Henry County teams are bold, and the home team is listed first:
6 p.m. — WACO vs. Holy Trinity
6:40 p.m. — Danville vs. Winfield-Mt. Union
7:20 p.m. — Mt. Pleasant vs. Mediapolis
8 p.m. — New London vs. Wapello
8:40 p.m. — Columbus vs. West Burlington
9:20 p.m. — Louisa Muscatine vs. Harmony
There is an admission fee for attending the Jamboree.

I've been a long-time user of LogMeIn's free remote assist. As the resident computer help desk in my family I've installed the LogMeIn client on all the not-so-tech family computers. My mom, mother-in-law & wife all have this installed on their machines.
This way when I get the call as long as their PC has an internet connection I can access their machine and fix it. It uses NAT traversal, so it doesn't require any router configuration. This is a great product. Now LogMeIn moves to the smartphone world. Their IT helpdesk product LogMeIn Rescue now offers the helpdesk the ability to access a user's BlackBerry handheld and take complete full control of the device.
What makes this product cool is that the user doesn't need any preinstalled software on the BlackBerry. The helpdesk simply provides the user with a PIN for the session and on the browser the BlackBerry user goes to logmein123.com enters the PIN and POW! full control is handed to the IT helpdesk.

LogMeIn Allows Remote Assist on the BlackBerry Handheld
I believe it was saying it allows people to log in to the blackberry and help you, not to use the blackberry to remote assist a computer, which there are options available for as well.
Yep, it's great, and all for the bargain price of USD $1956.
That's $1188 annually for the Rescue Service, plus $768 annually for the Smartphone service.
Kinda puts it in the realms of corporate support really, rather than casual access.
I'm already a subscriber to the Rescue Service as I use it at work, but really can't justify paying the additional charge given the few numbers of mobile devices we use.
Precisely the same at my shop. We support hundreds of users with desktops and we have to use LMI maybe an average of once a day. It's a reasonable expense for that.
The BB/iPhone support though... dream on. We've got maybe 50 total BB phones we need to support and have to do something with them maybe once every few weeks. We couldn't justify $80 a year extra for this, let alone ten times that.
Being Blackberry/IT support I can see the advantages of this. 99% of the problems require a battery pull, device reset/wipe, or reactivation. All of which require hands on.
Your carrier should only charge you if you don't have an data plan. It shouldn't be any different than using any other web-enabled app on your BlackBerry. A typical 5-10 minute remote control session only amounts to about 5MB of data. If you're on a pay-as-you-go data plan, use WiFi when available.
We use Bomgar for our remote support, and we've been using blackberry remote support ever since they introduced it Feb '09. Curves, Bolds, Storms, etc work great. Makes BIS email setup a snap for clueless users. Don't even need a pin, just need them to click on the engineer's name on our site.
LogMeIn is cool, and I recommend them to individual users, but businesses are better served by Bomgar.
I just looked at Bomgar, looks interesting. I'm going to contact them and test drive the product. Thanks!!
We use RHUB remote support appliances for remotely accessing MAC and Windows computers. It simply works flawlessly.

Ryan's surprising ride derailed in 87-67 loss to Yates, 4A's top team
State's top-ranked 4A team lives up to its ranking, reputation
AUSTIN — Scenes from a first half that, at best, could be classified as culture shock for Denton Ryan, and, at worst, with some completely over the top description, say, immolation:
Houston Yates' Melvin Swift dunks, rattling the rim, shaking the glass. Damyean Dotson scoring eight points in about one minute but it seems like seven seconds. Clyde Santee banking a 3-pointer.
And there are traps. Full-court traps. Half-court traps. Any trap that can be possibly trapped in a game of basketball.
Yeah, it was like that. Ryan lost to Houston Yates 87-67. Its surprising run to the Class 4A semifinals ended at the hands of a team that loves running as much as elite sprinters and isn't that much slower than those elite sprinters.
"We can't simulate it in practice," Ryan coach Bryce Overstreet said.
Until facing the consensus No. 1 team in the state, it was an entertaining ride for Ryan. It finished third in District 4-4A and then discovered itself in the playoffs. In the third round, Ryan defeated Little Elm, which had beaten it twice earlier in the season. Then Ryan defeated the best Fort Worth schools in Trimble Tech and Arlington Heights.
Yates, though, plays a different kind of game (see above description). It has smothered many a team, and Ryan wasn't any different. Like so many of Yates' opponents, Ryan was sucked into the running game. The result was predictable. In the first half, Ryan shot 7-for-30 from the field, and star Trey Mohair was 3-for-12. Yates was 16-for-35 and made seven of its first 13 3-pointers.
In short, Yates played like Yates, and it will try to play like Yates again Saturday against Kimball, daring another opponent to attempt keeping pace.
