Muy sucio, a pesar de pagar la limpieza, electrodomésticos rotos, desagüe de la cocina obstruido con filtraciones, un horrible olor a humedad, necesita una reforma urgente. Lo mejor la situación a los pies del Sagrado Corazón.
Alles in allem sehr positiv!
Von Ablauf der Schlüsselübergabe bis zur Wohnung ist alles sehr gut gelaufen. Die Wohnung ist in einem guten Zustand und sauber!
Es ist alles vorhanden um sich selbst zu verpflegen
Der einzige "Nachteil" ist, dass die Wohnung hellhörig ist, was mich persönlich aber nicht weiter gestört hat und bei einem Altbau auch normal ist!
We did enjoy our stay in this flat very much. It was very cosy and charming. No disturbing noices from outside during night. All the equipment worked good and linen and tovels were in place.
Sure, the floor was a bit asqew and squeaked when walking around, but that we thought was a bit of its charm during these five days we stayed.
And, just a tip, at the end on our street, there was this bakery where they sold very very tasty baguettes!
totally recommend you to stay here!
Nous étions 3 et nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Tout y est ou presque, literie confortable, salle d'eau/wc petite. Le gros + : idéalement situé dans Paris (à 50 m station de métro République), quartier animé.
Tutto ok, ben posizionato ed in ordine.
Una rinfrescatina alle pareti non guasterebbe ma è un dettaglio.
We liked the apartment and had a nice stay but the bed and the sofabed were awful to sleep in!.They were both partly broken.Please change them.

gute Lage und Umgebung
trotz obligater Reinigungsgebühr unzureichende Sauberkeit und unappetitlich( überall Staubschicht, Schimmel an Decke im Bad)
L'appartement était très sympa, très bien placé et bien aménagé. Expérience à renouveler.
GREAT location.
GREAT value.
This place was small but more than adequate for us (family of four - 2 children ages 9 & 11). Only about 5 mins walk from the Louvre, the location was perfect for lots of sight-seeing. We didn't spend much time there - left early morning and returned after dinner each day, so the small size of the apartment really didn't matter.
The place was clean, tidy, functional - could do with a little TLC (peeling paint, dripping water, cracked plaster), but the value for money couldn't be beat.
If you're looking for luxury accommodation - this place isn't for you; if you just need a place to crash between lots of sight-seeing - I highly recommend it.
There were some problems with electricity and we couldn't get into apartment when we first time came because there is a PIN code to open doors. I had to call my host to ask for help but unfortunately we had to wait until engineers fix that problem.There was also some problem with hot water which was unavailable in the evening time and we had to use a next door flat shower.

They grew by more than 5 million uniques in the past two months.
LockerDome is working with athletes like Troy Polamalu, Maurice Jones-Drew, Antonio Brown, Felix Hernandez, Wade Boggs, Blake Griffin, Rudy Gay, and Stephen Curry. LockerDome has a deal in place with USA Today. USA Today sells ads on LockerDome and the company will get traffic from USA Today as a result.
?We want to help brands identify the barriers preventing them from getting their TV viewers online and figure out what?s preventing them from tweeting about that event live, while it?s happening,? stated the LockerDome CEO Gabe Lozano in an interview with TechCrunch. ?Our goal is to help brands turn one TV viewer into four via social media.?

The stars of the last quarterly earnings season are due to fall back to earth as the number of companies reporting third-quarter results gears up next week.
A slowdown in bond trading means analysts expect big banks to report flat earnings from a year ago. Consider that in the second quarter, earnings for financial companies jumped 27 percent – the most among the 10 sectors of the Standard & Poor's 500 index, according to S&P Capital IQ.
JPMorgan Chase reports its latest results on Oct. 11, traditionally one of the first in the Dow Jones industrial average to do so.
Analysts are forecasting an 11 percent drop in earnings per share. If they're right, it would be the first decline in five quarters.
Analysts expect the S&P 500 to report earnings growth of 3.2 percent for the third quarter, due in part to a rise in interest rates and oil prices. It would mark a slowdown from 4.9 percent growth in the second quarter and the weakest pace in a year.
To be sure, analysts often underestimate corporate earnings. As reporting began for the second quarter, analysts projected six of 10 sectors would post earnings declines. Only four did and earnings growth for the index was 71 percent higher than forecast.

text: After raking in almost 40 percent of global orders in 2000, South Korean shipyards plan to focus on boosting profit margins this year by being more selective in picking up orders, company officials and analysts say. The country's major shipbuilders are under no pressure to accept new orders as their backlogged orders are sufficient to keep their dockyards busy for the next two-and-a-half years. But officials at Hyundai Heavy, the world's largest shipbuilding firm, said that its profit margins would increase dramatically through rigorous requirements on new orders and other cost-cutting measures. Samsung Heavy and Daewoo Shipbuilding, two major world shipbuilders, said they would adopt similar strategies this year. "In receiving orders, we will focus on high value-added ships such as bigger container ships and gas carriers," said Kim Chul-kyong, a senior sales manager at Hyundai Heavy. "Profit margins would rise by 20 percent this year, aided also by our production-improvement measures," he said. Analysts said the ratio of operating profits to sales for Korean shipyards averaged 16 percent in 2000. In 2000, South Korean shipyards received orders totaling 10.4 million compensated gross tons (CGTs), 38.7 percent of global orders, according to the Korea Shipbuilders' Association. But actual ship construction in Korea was only 6.05 million CGTs, worth $9.6 billion in the year, up slightly from five million CGTs worth $8.2 billion in 1999, the association said. "Global orders are expected to shrink by about 30 percent this year along with the world's economic slowdown," said Koo Bon-sung, a spokesman for the association. "But Korean shipbuilders would be able to add 6.6 million CGTs of new orders this year, maintaining our level of backlogged orders." Hyundai Heavy's new shipbuilding orders totalled $5.1 billion in 2000, up from $3.2 billion worth in 1999, but the company said they would fall to about $3.3 billion this year. Backlogged orders were estimated at $6.9 billion at the end of 2000. Daewoo Shipbuilding received $3.3 billion in shipbuilding orders in 2000, raising its order backlog to $4.5 billion. In line with its selective order strategy, its orders this year would be about $2.5 billion, a company spokesman said. "We plan to build more high value-added VLCCs (very large crude carriers) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) vessels this year to be more profitable," said Daewoo spokesman Kim Do-kyun. Samsung Heavy, which earned $3.6 billion worth of shipbuilding orders in 2000, set its target down at $2.8 billion for this year. Its backlog orders were $5.9 billion. "Our strategy will not be different from our peers in Korea," said Lee Hong-yon, spokesman for Samsung Heavy. "Our share of high value-added ships would increase to more than 50 percent this year from about 45 percent last year." Samsung would capitalize on its expertise in oil drill ships, floating product storage offshore (FPSO) and LNG carriers, he said. Analysts said European Commission complaints about South Korean shipyards' low-price practices would not affect Hyundai Heavy and Samsung Heavy much, but Daewoo would remain a target due to loan incentives it had received under a debt workout program. The shipbuilding unit of the Daewoo Group, along with 11 other Daewoo companies, was rescued by creditors in August 1999 after a recession the previous year hit its business. Hyundai and Samsung received orders in open biddings and were already efficient enough to make hefty profits in shipbuilding operations, analysts said. - (Reuters)

lots of bike riding will happen
where ever you ride, enjoy the sunshine and ride it like you stole it
Not here it isn't, sadly. The sun is shining and I have some foul disease so I feel like crap! No doubt this forum'll fill up with photos and tales of adventure, and I'll just have to sulk!
I chose to ride yesterday.
10 hour shift today.
Off all next week though.
Not here it isn't, sadly. The sun is shining and I have some foul disease so I feel like crap! No doubt this forum'll fill up with photos and tales of adventure, and I'll just have to sulk!
+1. Manflu and a sudden addiction to Ameretti biscuits.
I chose to ride yesterday
Today is another dawn, I'm riding both days
I couldn't ride a bike like I stole it if my life depended on it, I may go for a sedate amble later though
Enjoy the field today Tony.
2 metal plates and a pin in my shoulder, in a sling for another 4 weeks then physio for 6 before I can think about doing anything, biking would be nice being able to sleep would be better.
Rode wyre forest yesterday afternoon when the sky finally cleared up and will be out again today later on. Helpfully showed some noobs around yday although did have to lecture one about lack of helmet! Kind of me seeing as it meant I kept having to stop to make sure they went the right direction, luckily it wasnt a race!
too many bikes, too little time
and when im exhausted this evening, i will watch the afternoons DH action via redbull tv.
i dont even know which one to ride first......
Starting to get over my ManFlu. Managed an hr on the rollers yesterday, although i felt like throwing up for most of the that, might try and get out for a gentle pootle around my local MTB loop today! Also slightly annoyed by seeing the (amazing)pics of a guy i ride with seriously ripping it up at Herts with Tony and Nath last week, reminding me how far i've still got to go with my bike skills
I've been riding loads lately so I'm going climbing instead.
been & done, a lovely winter day down south. Though all it confirmed was that I'm no longer in Rotorua so it was a little disappointing.
Been on my hollybobs, riding in the lakes this week, during which I've been absolutely soaked every time! Obviously as I'm travelling back today, it's gloriously sunny! Bah!
And to top it off, I've got man flu coming on from the repeated dousings! Bah again!
Can't be more than 30secs sprint from the toilet so no riding for me
Gutted. I am however using the time to clean and generally fiddle with bikes in the garden, so it could be worse.
Haven't been able to ride for 6 weeks or so, no idea how long I'll be out of action either - enjoy your riding while you can!
DT78 - Member
Can't be more than 30secs sprint from the toilet so no riding for me
Spookily the same for me. Hopefully everything will sort itself out over the next couple of hours so I can get a mellow ride before the F1.
Well, it's been like it since Thursday so if it's the same bug stock up on chicken soup and DVDs.....
I think my problem is chili related...
Not with my freshly broken wrist.
Stuck indoors resealing the bath
I rode yesterday and I rode out today too. I did Raphas "Hell of the North" and to be honest I expected more miles
Fixing bent rear derailleur hanger and re-indexing gears,mates all gone to Leeds food and drink festival (on the lash),and I'm babysitting littlemissdingo cos the wife's on afters
Bit hungover today after school fete then turned into a quick pint, which then ended about 11 at night.
Silverstone gp circuit tomorrow though!
Beginnings of manflu + work +studying to be done later.
On the upside it's a 7.5 mile cycle back home and it's glorious outside
Had a sedate humble on the road bike this morning. 41 miles in the sunshine felt very pleasant. Lots of riders out as well.
bagged 15.4 miles at a massive 6.8 mph. Kids biggest ride though
Hoping weather holds and may take the SS out later
Just back from 55 sedate miles on the tourer.
Nice to be out in the sun, tad breezy though.
Time to sit outside with a beer
Was at Cannock/Brocton at 7am and it was glorious all morning. Considering the huge thunderstorm yesterday and torrential rain all day it was a lot drier on and off piste than I imagined it would be.
Went to Ribbesford this morning and enjoyed it....was a bit mucky though. Didn't rid the big bits line though as sone of these gaps are pretty big.
i got pissed as a fart
A muddy 13 miles up wyre forest today, really really muddy..
the best I managed was pootling to the shops to get some milk b4 brekkie, spent the rest of the day doing the garden!
In my twisted logic, I find it hard to motivate myself to get all horrible and muddy on a gorgeous summer day. So I knocked out a 30 miler on filthy trails in the heavy rain Saturday morning instead.

Senior British Cabinet ministers who were initially told they must support an immoral bill regulating in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or leave the government, will now be permitted to vote against the bill.
Among the items that ministers object to in the "Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill," are the removal of the requirement that fertility clinics consider the need for a father before providing IVF treatment and the recognition of same-sex couples as legal parents.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, archbishop of Westminster, called the act "profoundly wrong," and the Anglican archbishop of York, Most Rev. John Sentamu has also attacked the bill.
Ruth Kelly, the Transport Secretary and member of Opus Dei, and Des Browne, the Defense Secretary, were uneasy about the bill, according to The Telegraph.
Ministers of parliament are usually given a "free vote" on issues of conscience, but leaders initially ruled that out because the vote concerns a government bill and a defeat would reflect poorly on the leadership of the governing Labor Party.
Though allowed a free vote, cabinet members opposing the bill are more likely to abstain rather than vote against it. The free vote does allow amendments to be proposed, including ones that could scuttle the bill. One expected amendment would reduce the time limit on legal abortion from 24 to 20 weeks.
64 ministers of parliament who can vote on the bill are Catholic.

Lewis Holtby posts Facebook picture from the tube after Fulham win, wishes Spurs luck for NLD
There is a lot of love for Lewis Holtby from Tottenham fans and now Fulham supporters are also beginning to treat the German midfielder with affection despite the fact he doesn't belong to the Cottagers.
And, it isn't just because of his desire on the pitch where he appears to give every drop of sweat for the cause.
Today, Holtby played 82 minutes of Fulham's 1-0 win over Newcastle, a massive result for Felix Magath's side in their battle to avoid the drop.
Fulham are still bottom but are now in touching distance of the other sides facing relegation and will be hopeful of a turnaround in fortunes.
Holtby took the tube home and posted a Facebook update that will no doubt endear himself further to both Fulham and Spurs fans.
Presumably Holtby will be at Spurs to cheer them on for the north London derby…

Oklahoma Sooners open as 13-point favorite over Texas Longhorns in Red River Rivalry
According to Vegasinsider.com, Oklahoma has opened as a 13-point favorite over Texas for Saturday's Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl.
Oklahoma is 5-0 after dispatching TCU, 20-17, last week.
The Longhorns are 3-2 and 2-0 after surviving a scare from Iowa State on Thursday. Texas quarterback David Ash has been ruled out for the game. He's missed the part or all of the last four games due to concussion-like symptoms. Case McCoy is expected to start in Ash's place. He's started two games this year, against Ole Miss and Iowa State.
On the season, McCoy has a 60.2 completion percentage and has thrown for 574 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Notice that the president signed his name and then penned the date as "11 June 2009"? That is the European way to note dates, not the American way. In America we always put the month, then the day, then the year.
Obama hates America so much he can't even stand to write dates like Americans do!

Apparently I wasn't snarky enough for people to get that. Lighten up Francis! I'd have just deleted it but a few people commented before I got back to this one.)

Brief: Walz requests $103 million for Highway 14; plans for Highway 60 unknown
MANKATO -- Congressman Walz announced Tuesday he will be requesting $103.1 million for Highway 14 in the new Surface Transportation Bill being written by Congress.
This request would provide funding for four segments of Highway 14. Walz is also requesting $7 million for 55th Street and $15 million for 65th Street in Rochester.
"We need a 21st century transportation corridor that efficiently moves people, goods and services throughout the region," Walz said in a news release. "As we all know, the Highway 14 corridor is among the deadliest highways in America. Now is the time to upgrade this critical infrastructure, and create jobs. These projects will help bring key economic development investments and put people back to work."
It is still unknown whether Walz will also request funding for the Highway 60 four-lane expansion project slated to begin in 2010. Walz will announce his final priorities for the Surface Transportation Bill Thursday.

FENERBAHCE'S Portuguese star Raul Meireles appeared before the Turkish Football Federation's appeal commission overnight in a bid to overturn his 11-match ban for spitting and making a homophobic gesture at a referee.
After the 90-minute hearing the former Chelsea and Liverpool midfielder left Fenerbahce's vice-president Abdullah Kigili to pass comment.
"There was no spitting,'' Kigili told news agency Anatolia.
"We showed the latest images to the panel. We think that the federation's disciplinary commission (PDFK) made their initial decision without seeing all the images.''
Meireles will have to wait until next week to find out whether his appeal has been upheld, with the commission waiting to review "images of the incident from every angle''.
Based on referee Halis Ozkahya's report the PDFK suspended Meireles for 11 matches and imposed an 8,400 euro ($AU10,700) fine for "spitting and insulting the referee after his red card'' in last Sunday's derby game against Galatasaray.
He has received strong support from his fellow Portuguese internationals.
"The national team's players are entirely convinced that given his character, the man, the player, the colleague and the friend Raul Meireles could not have done what he is accused of,'' wrote Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Alves, Nani and Pepe in a letter published on the Turkish federation's website.
The 29-year-old midfielder has strongly denied the charges levelled against him.
"I don't know what the hand gesture for calling somebody gay is in Turkey but what I did was entirely based around the referee being a coward and bowing to the pressure,'' Meireles said on Friday.
"Look at my hairstyle, what I wear, I'm not a prejudicial person, my hand gesture was in no way, shape or form a homophobic one.
"The referee's accusations are outrageous and defamatory. I have an eight-year-old child, can you imagine if kids start saying your father spat at a referee?''

The TrueSample team is continually exploring the nuances of survey data quality that impact the results of online market research. Our goal is to continue to ask questions and explore the possibilities as we guide the industry in assuring the highest possible data quality in quantitative market research.
Today, we'll look at category and method exclusions – these are often discussed as good avenues for managing survey response quality. In the context of these discussions, a "category" refers to a type of product or service (for example, skin care products) and a "method" refers to a type of study being conducted (like a concept test).
Many in the market research industry are interested in category and method exclusions because there is a belief that, in some cases, presenting the same respondents with several similar surveys in a short period of time may cause them to respond differently than they otherwise would. This could be due to boredom, an increased ability to game the survey, or other reasons. But the results are the same—an inability to make valid apples-to-apples comparisons across respondents, and a lack of trust in the resulting data. As if that weren't bad enough, sending respondents too many surveys that seem too much alike may eventually stop them from participating in market research altogether.
So how do we avoid such problems? First, we need to track the appropriate categories and methods for each survey. Next, we need to be able to tie together that survey's respondents and the date they entered the survey with the categories and methods we're tracking. That's all the information that we need to make the exclusions – we would be able to answer a request like, "Give me a sample of women in their 20s, but exclude anyone who took a survey about makeup in the last 30 days."
Unfortunately, the solutions that exist today are often quite fragmented and time consuming, requiring researchers to use multiple tools and multiple steps to make category and method exclusions. In some cases, researchers are able to make these exclusions only with previous respondents to their own surveys. To overcome these hurdles, companies with a commitment to data quality (like TrueSample) are working on developing technology solutions that will make this effort fast, simple and with less fragmentation across the industry.
What hurdles have you faced in your own survey creation and research? Let us know if the comments section below.

Egyptian actor Adel Imam [2] likes to keep quiet on the deets of any upcoming project in the works. The latest example of this hush hush personal rule is the drama "Saheb Al Saadah" (His Excellency). From the get go, Adel set the rules for the entire cast and crew, demanding that no one release any info on the drama to the public.
According to Sayidaty.net, Adel stressed that when he and the cast keep the details of their characters and the theme of the drama a secret, it creates the element of surprise for the audience audience. If information is leaked, the efforts of everyone will go to waste.
The "Al Araf" [3]star added that the media should back up the actors and not leak out information regarding new projects (no promises, here!), and he said that what upsets him most is when members of the press attend a premiere screening of a film and then write about every single detail, negatively impacting the film because when people read reports, they feel as if they have seen the film.
The new drama "Saheb Al Saadah" stars Adel, Mahmoud Yasin, Lublibah, Nihal Anbar, Shiri Adel, Ashraf Zaki and a number of other stars under the direction Adel's son Rami Imam.

Charities, social enterprises and funders need access to the best data, tools and systems to measure their social impact well. Substance leads Inspiring Impact's work to develop the infrastructure needed to ensure the sector can review, access and use the best quality data, tools and systems.
Read about current projects under this theme below.
Online impact marketplace research and feasibility study
Impact measurement is currently hampered by the lack of a mature market for impact measurement tools—questionnaires, survey tools, or performance management systems. New tools are emerging that vary in quality and usability, and work is needed to bring the most robust and useful tools to the market. An increasing number of charities and social enterprises seek off-the-shelf tools and systems, but lack the skills to select the right one.
The demand is there and supply is growing too, but we need the infrastructure to help charities and social enterprises review relevant tools, make informed decisions about which are right for them, and purchase them in a smooth, efficient way. There are several ways we could do this: for example building an online directory or impact marketplace, making use of search engine optimisation, social media, wiki and semantic web technologies.
We are researching and testing the feasibility of these different options, looking at the scale of demand, scale of supply, and potential for sustainability. We are currently prototyping an online marketplace that will make tools available for planning, managing, measuring and reviewing your impact.
If you have developed a tool, system, website, report, guidance or service that might be used to improve the impact practice of the UK voluntary sector or even if you know about or use such a resource, we'd like you to tell us all about it. After an extensive period of consultation we have settled on an initial template for describing the resources to be listed and have produced an online survey to help us capture the required information.
There will be further and ongoing opportunities to add new resources and to edit the information provided but if you want your favourites listed from the start please tell us all about them by following this link. Please complete a fresh survey for any resource you want to have listed and feel free to share this link with colleagues. The survey will remain open until Friday 15th November in the first instance.

Robert Prior-Wandesforde of Credit Suisse says, in an interview to CNBC-TV18, that a surprise fall in core inflation is expected. The India and Southeast Asia economist expects the RBI to cut the repo rate by 25 bps on March 19 and adds that the central bank is likely to maintain focus on WPI inflation rather than on the CPI
Robert Prior-Wandesforde of Credit Suisse, in an interview to CNBC-TV18, said he expects the RBI to cut the repo rate by 25 bps on March 19 and another 25 bps reduction can be expected on May 3.
The Credit Suisse expert said the WPI may go below 6 percent in March and continue to fall thereafter, hence any talk of stagflation would fade away.
Below is the edited transcript of the analysis on CNBCP-TV18
Q: What do you expect the wholesale price index (WPI) inflation to be? How will the money market react to it?
A: There are expectations of another downside surprise on inflation. There have been four surprises in succession. Our fingers are crossed for a fifth partly on technical reasons. The WPI inflation in February 2012 was actually quite high and affords an easy base comparison.
I would be surprised if the core inflation fell. That would be extremely pleasant news. I think the money markets will feel a lot more confident about a reduction in interest rates on March 19 after the shock caused by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data announced earlier in the week.
Q: What course of action do you expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to take next week?
A: We expect a reduction of another 25 bps and a further cut of 25 bps at the next monetary policy meet on May 3. We maintain our view that repo rates will eventually fall down to 6.75 percent, so a 100-bps cut is expected. Inflation obviously is a key determinant, but perhaps what is more important is the extent of the growth shock.
The December quarter growth of 4.5 percent is very, very poor. To think of a 7.75 percent repo rate with growth at 4.5 percent seems out of the ordinary. But I think rates should and will come down with the finance minister sticking to the goals set in the Budget which has gone down reasonably well at the central bank.
Q: What kind of commentary do you expect to hear on the CPI from the RBI?
A: Whenever the RBI has cut rates, which has not been that often, the reference to the CPI has been very minor. But I suspect the RBI commentary will downplay its significance to a certain extent. Though it can be ignored, the RBI will reiterate greater focus on the WPI inflation.
Q: Is the risk of the economy heading towards stagflation very high?
A: No, not particularly. First of all, the WPI the inflation has been coming down for a few months and is well below its recent highs. I estimate the WPI may well be below 6 percent in March and continue to fall thereafter. I also think that growth is going to pick up in 2013-14 but the March quarter is going to be difficult with the government tightening spending even more than it did in the September quarter and the rate growth might be poor.
But with very little in the way of fiscal consolidation, money market interest rates down, government reforms boosting investor confidence and exports starting to pick up, the growth picture looks better. In three-to-six months' time any talk of stagflation would have actually faded away.

Not With a Whimper
The words Grossman uttered at Rabin's memorial about 'hollow leadership' will continue to reverberate.
David Grossman did not shy away from taking a public stand on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process (or rather the lack of it), even before the last Lebanese war. But when he addressed the tens of thousands of people at the 11th memorial event of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, on November 4th, he spoke also as a father who had lost his son in the last days of this ill-fated war.
He was very much aware of it, and that is why he preceded his direct appeal to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert by saying: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am not saying these words out of feelings of rage or revenge. I have waited long enough to avoid responding on impulse. You will not be able to dismiss my words tonight by saying a grieving man cannot be judged. Certainly I am grieving, but I am more pained than angry. This country and what you and your friends are doing to it pains me."
One day the arrogant voices, who claim Grossman was out of line by castigating the prime minister for his policies, while the latter cannot respond, because you don't argue with bereaved parents, will fade away. The prime minister did quote a bereaved father who sided with his policies in one of his speeches during the war, but on the whole, bereaved families are expected to bear their grief in dignified silence. But the words Grossman uttered that evening about "hollow leadership" will continue to reverberate. The advantage poets have over other mortals is not their ability to "show us the way," but their gift of finding the right words to address reality; words that were once sent into the ether will keep resonating in the sound boxes of human minds.
For some time now these self-appointed and elected leaders will look at themselves in the mirror and will have to ask themselves: "Am I hollow?" Some will feel inclined to put the question, a rhetorical one in their view, to the public. It is a fair assumption that like Shimon Peres, who asked his party members: "Am I a loser?", they will hear a thundering "Yes!"
The Hebrew word for "hollow" is "halul" and it shares the root with "halal," used nowadays when speaking about soldiers who gave their lives in Israeli wars, "hilul," desecration, and "halal," space. But without intending to - to the best of my knowledge - Grossman was echoing T.S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men." This is the way words work.
Eliot wrote his poem in 1925, and, according to the accepted view, it reflects upon Eliot's skepticism about the men of his time - Europe after World War One -, the posterity, and society as a whole. The epigrams preceding the poem point the reader to Joseph Conrads' "Heart of Darkness" and to Guy Fawkes (whose day is November 5th, a strange coincidence), and Eliot readers will easily identify the allusions to Dante and Christian symbolism.
But apart from that, the poem simply says: "We are the hollow men / We are the stuffed men / Shape without form, shade without color / Paralyzed force, gesture without motion." Grossman spoke about Israeli force that proved weak in combat. The third part of the poem could be interpreted as being written about this land of ours: "This is the dead land / This is cactus land / Here the stone images / Are raised, here they receive / The supplication of a dead man's hand / Under the twinkle of a fading star. // Is it like this / In death's other kingdom / Waking alone / At the hour when we are / Trembling with tenderness / Lips that would kiss / Form prayers to broken stone."
Grossman spoke about "anxiety and intimidation" filling up the "empty shell" of Israeli leadership, about the lack of an original or vital idea in the sound box of their soul, of "reacting feverishly to moves forced upon [them] by others." Eliot writes about the shadow that falls "Between the idea / And the reality / Between the motion / And the act / Between the conception / And the creation / Between the emotion / And the response."
Grossman, who spoke in 2006, a mere day before Haaretz's headline, "IDF preparing for another conflict by next summer," concluded his words by saying, as if almost forcing himself to find an upbeat note on an otherwise bleak speech: "From where I stand right now, I beseech, I call on all those who listen, the young who came back from the war, who know they are the ones to be called upon to pay the price of the next war, on citizens, Jew and Arab, people on the right and the left, the secular, the religious: Stop for a moment, take a look into the abyss. Think of how close we are to losing all that we have created here. Ask yourselves if this is not the time to get a grip, to break free of this paralysis, to finally claim the lives we deserve to live."
Eliot's poem ends with one of the most quoted lines of 20th century poetry: "This is the way the world ends / This is the way the world ends / This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper." He wrote 13 years before World War II. Today we have a good reason to fear that it will end in a bang, not a whimper.

In 1998, Acid didn't just change the world — it created a new one, where audio went from a rigid bunch of bits to the musical equivalent of Silly Putty. Perhaps more significantly, Acid provided a shortcut to the "look and feel" of musical talent for those without any.
It was miraculous, scandalous, and the birth of serious groove software. It was even the kind of program that made diehard Mac addicts who'd drunk the Cupertino kool-aid hold their noses and get a PC, just so they could run this wild new software that turned the sequencing paradigm inside out.
Acid's claim to fame was that you could bring audio of just about any tempo and key into the program, and like magic, convert it to the current project's tempo and key. Previously, you had to either fit your tune to the available audio, or apply arduous digital signal processing techniques that usually did considerable violence to the audio quality. The program even included a bunch of loops to get you going, and Acid aficionados started to notice them in everything from dance music to TV commercials.
You'll note there's no Specs sidebar; Sony's web site has all the specs you need — go www.sony.com/mediasoftware click on Products, and then go to the Acid Pro 5 page. We'll concentrate on the main update features, and their impact on the user experience.
Version 5 has three obvious goals:
Higher quality sound and more flexible looping
Better project management and workflow
Improved compatibility with the rest of the world
Acid also has a more efficient audio engine. The engine stops while you're inserting effects, but then picks up where you left off. There's also a blip when you insert a bus, but other than that, it's pretty gapless.
You insert the CD, install the program, then the Media Manager (which requires installing the included Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8), then restart. If MDAC is already installed, this step, including restart, is unnecessary. Next up: Install the Native Instruments Xpress Keyboard Instruments, call up the program, enter the serial number, and finally, authorize the program on the Sony web site.
I was pleasantly surprised at the two CDs of loops, one with 439 new loops for Acid (Electronica, Dance, Hip-Hop, Rock, Organ, and Ambient Cinematic). The other is a sampler of 668 loops from Sony's deep library of Acid grooves. Yeah, it's a teaser, but it's license-free — so don't complain.
Let's take a graphic tour of Acid Pro 5's greatest hits.
Acidization markers tell the software where hits occur so they can maintain the correct rhythm when the tempo changes. But Acid now offers separate beat anchors and beat (stretch) markers. You can force a note that's off beat to hit on a beat anchor, but you can also shift the beat anchor and fool the loop into thinking that's the beat. This lets you lag, lead, swing, or correct beats.
Overall, there's a lot more control over stretching characteristics with the new groove tools, including the ability to apply grooves to acidized files. Acid Pro 5 comes with 52 grooves, but you can create and customize your own based on how you've placed stretch markers in an acidized file.
The stretching sounds better, and the beat detection engine seems more accurate, requiring less "tweaking" to get loops to stretch over a wide range. Although Acid hasn't added Rex file-type capabilities to change characteristics of individual slices, it has reclaimed first place as the best environment for creating acidized loops.
Acid has always had a "one loop, one track" philosophy. This makes it easy to draw loops in a track, because Acid always knows which loop goes in that track. The downside: Variations on a part can chew up a ton of tracks.
Folder tracks group tracks into one track. You can nest folders within folders, and do anything with a track within a folder (change track height, move, split, add envelopes, and so on) that you can do when it's not in a folder — including "cluster edits" on collapsed folder tracks. You can also mute and solo folder tracks, however, you can't do operations on the folder track itself. Drag parts out of the folder any time, as well as minimize folders to minimize space; this is a fine implementation of a much-needed feature.
Yes, that's a VST effect (out of a chain of five) you're seeing — Acid speaks something other than DirectX, and it still maintains PDC so the sound doesn't get all phasey when it goes through multiple buses. It's also learned how to shut up its effects, thanks to a "bypass all" command, and can do multiport VST instruments.
Acid can now tell time, thanks to effects (Amplitude Modulation, Flange/Wah-Wah, Chorus, and Simple Delay) that can sync to tempo. All I can say is — it's about time.
When you're finished with your masterpiece, burn it to CD (disc or track at once). Well, at least you can; my computer refuses to talk to the Sony, Sequoia, or Wavelab CD burning engines ever since I made the mistake of installing Roxio CD burning software that came bundled with a DVD drive. (Guess I'd better hack the registry and get rid of it.)
MIDI's been spiffed up a bit with constrain to scale (just noodle on the keyboard, then snap to a specific scale/key to banish bad notes). The MIDI implementation is still kinda low-rent; don't expect a lot of editing goodies, or the ability to plug-in MIDI effects. But it will get you through recording your virtual instrument parts.
I use a lot of bus effects, so I'm happy it's possible to route a bus to another bus (and it won't let you do anything stupid, like set up a feedback loop).
Customizable media folders help organize the files you use in a project, and you can
save a project path in a rendered file to edit a rendered file's source project. But the killer feature is Sony's new Media Manager technology for locating different types of files, as well as the ability to tag, search and browse files with metadata that makes specific attributes easier to find — think "database and search" functions. The program even gives you access to a listing of all 130+ CDs in Sony's Loops & Samples collection, tags the libraries you already have, and provides immediate links on how to purchase a particular collection.
Acid can serve as a ReWire 1.0 client and ReWire 2.0 host. Well, sorta. It worked perfectly as a client with Adobe Audition, but when I hit stop with Sonar 4 and Live 3, Acid would freeze. It hosted Reason just fine, but audio sync would fall apart with Project5 — unless P5 had the focus. And as a Storm 3 client, the audio was garbled; as a host, it didn't work. Sony had done a lot of testing with a variety of programs (but not some of the ones I used) without problems; maybe the issues are unique to my setup, but in any event they indicated an interest in getting more data so they can do any necessary fixes.
Part of the Pro package is Native Instruments' Xpress instruments (B4, Pro53, and FM7). These are not keyed to Acid so you can use them with other VST hosts (thank you!).
There are other goodies too, like downmix monitoring for surround projects, easier ways to create loops out of one-shot hits, a chopper window, Macromedia Flash format import, event reverse, and assignable keyboard mappings. And here's a real labor-saver: Changing a loop envelope can affect all selected loops. If you've ever noticed a click on a loop after you'd painted in a zillion instances, then had to go into each effing loop and add a teeny fade to get rid of the click, you'll appreciate this.
The biggies: No one-click "freeze" function to premix a virtual instrument track, then archive it to give the CPU a vacation. Nor can you control the level faders, or any parameters for that matter, using external hardware control boxes. This is a major omission if you're into adding the human element by working with a control surface. Put this on the "must-have" list for Version 6. As to MIDI, editing options remain limited; it's really a record/playback engine.
Acid started as a simple, elegant program. When it added features to compete with more conventional programs, it started to lose its way; MIDI had a tacked-on feel, and little was done to tweak the user interface. Version 5 smooths out Version 4's rough edges, while adding significant features that greatly enhance the experience of making music on Acid. I mean, with Acid.
I still wouldn't say Acid competes with hosts like Cubase SX, Samplitude, Sonar, and so on; they're apples and oranges. But I also feel it shouldn't try to — by zeroing in on being the best implementation of Acid it can be, Version 5 shows it's neither willing, nor ready, to cede its long-held turf. And it's still the quickest way to put music together on Windows.
These are my comments.

Should Christians Watch Sigmund Freud Movie 'A Dangerous Method'?
Sigmund Freud is a name that has become imbedded into popular culture. Although he was neither an entertainer nor a celebrity of any sort, he has become part of the English language through various expressions and branches of study in psychology. It is no surprise Hollywood has finally taken advantage to create a movie about Freud and his fellow scientist, Carl Jung.
Born in 1856 and dying in 1939, this Austrian neurologist is credited as the founder of psychoanalysis. To put succinctly, this study suggests that human behaviors and reasoning are driven by irrational, innate, and often unconscious desires.
Today, Freudian terminology has been engraved in almost every aspect of psychology. His concepts are largely received as facts as opposed to theories he developed. The notion of an id, superego, and ego are considered as real entities in many psychological evaluations.
Needless to say, Freud has had an immense impact in the way humans interpret the science of the mind.
What could be wrong about Freud's theories of psychoanalysis? One thing is, Freud was openly opposed to Christianity and religion in general. He once wrote in his book "The Future of an Illusion" that religion is "the universal obsessional neurosis of humanity." He also went on to suggest that religion is "wishful illusions."
We can conclude that Freud never consulted God in his quest to unlock the human mind. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:19: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Who can begin to figure out the mind of God's creations without acknowledging the Creator?
Freud succeeded in casting many doubts about Christianity and the role of religion in human society.
The film, "A Dangerous Method," in theatres November 23, features Viggo Mortensen as Freud, Michael Fassbender as Jung, and Kiera Knightley as a young woman who caused conflict between the friends.
The director, David Cronenberg is known for his strange and graphic films concerning the human body.
"I consider myself an existentialist and an atheist, and I think that body is what we are," Cronenberg told The Daily Beast. "That's not diminishing it to me, it's just accepting the reality of it. So, if the human body is the first fact of human existence, then immediately you see why I focus on the body."
Therefore, "A Dangerous Method" is necessarily about Freud and psychoanalysis; it does feature subject matters regarding the body and the mind that are not exactly edifying.
Jung and Freud experience a strain in their relationship because of their opinions on the role of religion in their work. The character of Jung falls into a psychosexual relationship with Knightley's character, which puts further tensions on his friendship with Freud. Sexual tones carry throughout the film.
Perhaps, "A Dangerous Method" is not the most enlightening movie to positively stimulate the mind of a Christian. However, some may enjoy learning about Jung and Freud to know more about their perspective on psychology. Hopefully, Christians can remain as those who are do not fall into worldly ideology, but remain fixed on the Word of God.

What? Really?
Considered among the mountain bike "meccas" in North America—Moab, British Columbia, Fruita—the Kansas City area probably doesn't trigger a second thought. At least it didn't for me when I relocated here six years ago. Mistakenly thinking that Kansas City was full of flat cornfields and cows (which to some degree it is), I actually contemplated selling my mountain bike a few weeks before my move.
Once I arrived, I was blown away with what I found. The topography of the area was the most striking; it was packed with technical climbs full of jagged rock slabs. I later learned that most of these elevated technical areas are the remnants of the Ozark Mountain range—an ancient range stretching from Kansas and Missouri through Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee—that dominated the area 300 million years ago. These ideal geographic conditions have fostered a thriving mountain bike culture in the Kansas City area.
Interstate 70 runs right through the area, giving any road-tripping mountain biker on his or her way to Fruita or Moab access to more than ten high-quality trails.
More: If You Can Ride in Mud, You Can Ride in Snow
Landahl Mountain Bike Trail is unquestionably the crown jewel of the Kansas-Missouri corridor. Part of the Landahl Park Reserve run by the state of Missouri, the trails in this system are serious enough that the boys over at Granny Gear have staged a 24-hour race there two years running. Kansas City has apparently arrived.
Offering something for everyone, Landahl consists of a 9.5-mile perimeter loop; another ten or so additional miles of trails are interspersed within that perimeter. Fast, flowing singletrack, like Will's Wanderer or Tasty Goodness, are big ring sort of trails. But riders also hit gnarly, technical, rock-root covered climbs and drops at Landahl, and there are even some big drops and insane downhill sections—Rim Job and Root Canal—for those who dare.
Landahl is a good 30 to 45 minutes east of K.C. in the town of Blue Springs, Missouri, and other trails closer to the metro do abound, so it's really the kind of place best reserved for day-long epics.
Last year my Kansas Crew (plus one distinguished Missourian) held our first impromptu Labor Day epic. We packed lunches and coolers full of beverages. This ended up being one of those timeless days on the trail in which you are totally in the here and now, the kind in which you promise your wife you will be home by 4 and then call at 6:30 to tell her you're still riding. We rode that day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.—stopping only occasionally for some food and hair of the dog (a practice that drew some greasy looks from our "more serious" Lycra-clad brethren). Sipping Boulevards (a tasty, local beer) in the trailhead parking lot, we all swore an oath: From that day on, Labor Day would be sacred, devoted to Landahl epics. If you're in the area this year, feel free to join us.
If Landahl is this area's crown jewel, then the BuRP (Blue River Parkway) trail is K.C. mountain biking's bread and butter. This trail is located right in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri, just 15 minutes from downtown and easily reachable from the surrounding suburbs. Most area mountain bikers cut their teeth on BuRP. More than twelve miles of trails makes it a perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon semi-epic or for a few hours of stress relief after work (followed by some beers at the Sandtrap Bar near the trailhead).
In terms of terrain, this trail has everything Landahl has, just on a smaller scale. There are nice fast and flowing sections (the Bo Ho Ca, Ridge Line and Basement Trails) and some pretty hairy technical stuff that is just as hard as Landahl (the Highline, Little Moab and Wagon Trails).
Everything at BuRP is well-marked and maintained, thanks to the people at Earth Riders (a K.C. area mountain bike club), but it can be easy to get lost. A couple major roads intersect various trails, which makes the trail system feel somewhat fragmented. I myself have ridden here at least 60 times, and I still get lost. But since this is the most popular trail in the area because of its proximity to K.C., I inevitably run into other riders who point me in the right direction. Bottom line: If you are on business in the K.C. area and have a few hours to kill, ride BuRP.
The Quebe?ois have a saying this fifth-generation, ten-percent French Canadian-American likes to loosely paraphrase: "Your neighbor's wife might be more beautiful, but there is a certain something in your own wife's eyes that compels you." That's how I feel about the Kill Creek mountain bike trails in De Soto, Kansas, just a short, 15-mile jaunt off I-70 on Highway K10.
There are only five or six miles of trails in this county park, so a day-long epic could become a bit repetitive. It's also the sort of trail that might frustrate beginners; 60 percent of it is brutally technical. Though my crew and I are by no means pros, most of us have at least five years of riding under our belts, yet there are still a few sections of Kill Creek that compel us to dismount and walk. Still, I've had some of my most memorable rides here.
The trail system begins at the parking lot near Shelter #1 and starts with a fun and flowing, three-quarter-mile descent to the creek. From there, the trail turns into a three- to four-mile loop of technical, rocky climbs, tricky rooted sections and log obstacles—all of which culminate in a 100-yard-long rock garden that is probably an old dried up creek bed. Riding this finale gives the kind of sheer childhood joy that only the swing set could provide.
There is nothing like hitting this trail after work to unload all the day's frustrations, though—since it is a bit of a hike from K.C. and more advanced—I'd only hit it if you're confident in your technical skills and if you have the time to enjoy it. (Or if you're a masochist who enjoys endo-ing face-plant style into a pillow of rocks.)
More information on Landahl, BuRP, and Kill Creek is available at earthriders.com. This site gives directions, trail maps and condition reports for each of these as well as several other local trails. Of course, if you want a more personal tour, feel free to give me and the Kansas Crew a shout out. We're always looking for new riding buds. —Mick Swanson

En torno a la economía política de la exclusión social en Colombia
Colombia is a society with grave problems of social exclusion. However it is possible to work toward social inclusion if the political and economic forces of the country restructured democratically. It is necessary to create a comprehensive system of social protection and social security, adjust public finances, establish justice and defense as the two pillars of a state based on law enforcement, work toward economic and political democratization, without interrupting the development of the market regime with appropriate regulation of the State. It is only possible to construct a political, economical and social democracy with a profound social transformation.

World needs action on global warming
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — For many people, the concept of global climate change remains abstract until they feel the impacts of global warming first-hand — just ask the residents of Sandy Hook, New Jersey or Boulder, Colorado.
That's completely understandable, and ultimately, the impacts of global warming will mostly play out in the arena of day to day, month to month and year to year weather.
Some areas, like the Southwest, are already starting to see longer and more intense heatwaves and droughts, while other areas, like the coast of Alaska, see rising sees encroach on the land.
Here is how the World Meteorological Organization reacted to this week's release of the IPCC's latest global climate change assessment: Continue reading "'Climate change … requires urgent action, not tomorrow but today'"

Explosive Harvin could be Seahawk by Tuesday
Explosive. That describes Percy Harvin on a football field, and — at times — away from it. Explosive also applies to the Seahawks'...
Seattle Times staff reporter
Percy Harvin timeline
2004: As a high-school senior in Virginia, ranked as the top high-school recruit in the country by Rivals.com and Scout.com. He scored 77 touchdowns in his high-school career, but was suspended for one game as a junior and two games as a senior for unsportsmanlike conduct. He was banned from interscholastic competition by the Virginia High School League after fighting an opponent during a basketball game.
2005: As a true freshman at Florida, Harvin caught a 58-yard touchdown pass in the second game of the season. Caught five passes, ran for 105 yards and scored a touchdown both rushing and receiving in the SEC Championship game where Florida beat Arkansas en route to the national championship.
February 2009: After entering the draft after his junior year, reportedly tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting combine, according to Fox Sports.
April 2009: Drafted No. 22 overall by Minnesota, the fourth receiver chosen in the draft.
August 2010: Harvin vomited and collapsed on the practice field after suffering from a migraine headache, spent the night at the hospital, but came back to play in an exhibition game that week after not practicing.
June 2012: Harvin requested a trade from the Vikings, according to the Associated Press. That report came a day after Harvin indicated to reporters after an offseason workout that he was not pleased with his current situation. "I just put it this way, there's a lot of different things that have to be sorted out," he said, according to AP.
September 2012: Returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown against Detroit, tied for the second-longest kickoff return by any player last season. It was the fifth time Harvin scored on a kickoff return.
November 2012: After catching 60 passes in his first eight games for the Vikings, he suffered a high ankle sprain that ultimately landed him on injured reserve.
Here's the dealWhat Seattle gets
Receiver/returner Percy Harvin
What Minnesota gets
2013 1st-round draft pick
2013 7th-round draft pick
2014 3rd-round draft pick
That describes Percy Harvin on a football field, and — at times — away from it.
Explosive also applies to the Seahawks' pending acquisition of Harvin in a trade from Minnesota. This young Seahawks team that was 30 seconds from playing for the conference championship last season, just went and added a player as versatile as he is athletic, but who has also had issues with coaches in the past.
Harvin is a Swiss Army knife for an offense, someone who can line up anywhere from the backfield to splitting out wide to running back kickoffs. He is also very, very expensive. Not just in terms of the new contract that is ready to be finalized with Seattle, but the three draft picks Seattle gave up to acquire him — this year's first-round choice (No. 25 overall), a seventh-round pick this year and a third-round pick in 2014.
This was a bombshell, and the single biggest bet the Seahawks have made under general manager John Schneider and a move that was typical for this team only because it was so atypical.
Most expected a largely silent offseason for these Seahawks, who were seemingly set as contenders. They had found their quarterback in Russell Wilson, they had a defense that allowed the fewest points in the league last season and they had 20 of their 22 starters under contract through at least 2013. Seattle could have gone through the offseason without making a single addition and still be considered a potential contender.
Instead, the Seahawks went out and made the biggest move of the NFL offseason so far, acquiring a player who was so potent the first half of last season that he was mentioned as an MVP candidate. Harvin caught 60 passes in the first eight games last season and returned a kickoff 105 yards before suffering a high ankle sprain during Minnesota's Week 9 loss in Seattle that knocked him out for the season.
Nothing is official yet. In fact, everyone's mum. League rules prohibit the Seahawks from even commenting on the potential deal until after the league year starts Tuesday. Harvin's agent had no comment. Harvin must also pass a physical examination and agree to the new contract before the deal is finalized.
Others were stunned, including Adrian Peterson, the MVP who has been Harvin's teammate in Minnesota.
"The best all around player (I've) ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle!" Peterson said via his Twitter account. "I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!"
Harvin had been unhappy with his situation in Minnesota going back to June 2012. He also reportedly had run-ins with Brad Childress — the Vikings' previous coach — as well as Leslie Frazier, the current coach. Now, he gets a fresh start in Seattle with a big-budget contract and an offense that seemingly turned the corner in December with rookie quarterback Russell Wilson.
Seattle is betting big on a player who has never had 1,000 yards receiving in any NFL season. This team that hoards draft picks like they were gold gave up three of them — including their first-rounder this year — for the privilege of paying Harvin a new contract that may average more than $11 million annually.
That's a lot of draft picks for the right to give away even more loot, and it doesn't take too long a memory to remember what happened the last time Seattle gave up a first-round draft pick to acquire a wide receiver. That was 2006 when the Seahawks acquired Deion Branch.
That's where the similarities end, though. While Branch was a product of New England's passing system, Harvin is someone whose skill set will allow him to line up all over the field.
"He's so good you've just got to showcase him," coach Pete Carroll said in October when the Seahawks were preparing to face Harvin and the Vikings in Week 9.
Carroll has some history with Harvin. While at USC, Carroll recruited Harvin when he was coming out of Virginia Beach, Va., only to have Harvin pick Florida where he helped the Gators win a national title as a true freshman.
So Carroll wasn't exactly surprised when Harvin was mentioned as an MVP candidate before the Vikings traveled to Seattle in Week 9.
"He's a fantastic player," Carroll said before that game of Harvin. "He was arguably the best player in America coming out of school. So the fact that he's playing with all the top guys and his numbers are on top of the league, that's fitting."
And now, Carroll and his coaches get the luxury of deciding how Harvin will fit in with Seattle's offense.

Aiming for Unions but Shooting Themselves in the Foot

The King's Stupa
The King's Stupa surrounded by trees and undergrowth in O'Svay village
A young and distinguished portrait of the then-Prince SihanoukIn the overgrown garden of a small house in the village of O'Svay, close to the border with Laos and next to the mighty Mekong River, stands a monument to a time long forgotten by most. The locals call it the King's Stupa. In the early 1960s the then-Prince Norodom Sihanouk initiated a project which was called "the colonization of new lands," which aimed to develop rural aresa and reduce poverty in Cambodia's remote provinces like Stung Treng and the northeastern areas. The town of Borey O'Svay was established in the early 1960s close to the border with Laos, reflecting a concern about Lao traders and fishermen encroaching on Cambodian territory. The military were sent to clear the jungle and build an access road, fifty concrete houses, a school, a hospital, a market, a pagoda, a military camp and a sugar cane factory. On 1 January 1964, 300 families of retired military officers and soldiers mainly from Takeo, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng and Kandal provinces, as well as refugees from Kampuchea Krom, were offered housing, land, cattle, seed and trees to settle there. Prince Sihanouk personally inaugurated Borey O'Svay in 1967. At the time, dense forest was very close to the rice fields and homes and the villagers did not venture into the forest for fear of tigers, elephants and other wild animals. In 1970 Khmer Rouge troops took over O'Svay and in 1972, bombing raids by the United States destroyed much of the town. In 1975 families from Phnom Penh were sent to live in the area and a year later people were forced to leave the village to clear new rice fields some 40kms away. In 1979 the villagers returned and found their homes in ruins. Today five villages make up the O'Svay commune with a total population of 445 families, some 2,340 people. The King's Stupa is still there, if you can find it amongst the undergrowth, with concrete panels showing Prince Sihanouk in all his glory. And if you ask around you can still find one or two of the original inhabitants.
This narrative panel shows the Prince working the land
Another panel on the monument shows the Prince building a house

Trapped (Radio 4), Mark and Dan Maier's peculiar comedy drama, didn't make me laugh. Instead, it made me smile - big warm smiles. Two cons, Eddie and Mouse, hide in a bookshop overnight to escape police after a failed burglary at a chemist. They were after drugs, but left only with a packet of Hall's Mentholyptus. They talk, and reveal quirky, funny things about themselves: Eddie that he once did a job with a burglar who muddled his words ("Put the bunny in the mag," he shouted during a robbery, "or you're gonna be bleeding for percy"), and Mouse that his father used to read him song lyrics in Smash Hits in place of a bedtime story. We hear him reading Kajagoogoo's Too Shy.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any stranger, the men are joined by a Nigerian security guard who lets them go on the condition that Eddie learns to read (he can't and that's why they robbed the wrong chemist). All this was delicately played and written with a rare lightness of touch, relishing oddity and making it sparkle.

" Brand: Bush Baby / Carrier Type: Framed / Carrier Position: Back "
Having owned, and then disposed of, another 'top end' child carrier – the Vaude Jolly Comfort (£100ish), I feel I have a good marker for comparing this product to. After purchasing this carrier about 4-5 weeks ago I have been nothing short of thrilled with every aspect of it. The comfort for both child and parent are phenomenal, despite what appears to be a rather basic adjustment system (at least compared to the Jolly). I am 6ft 2" and it doesn't rub or dig in at any point (which also goes for my wife at 5ft 7"). The Jolly comfort on the other hand suffered from shoulder straps that were too short and left the thin nylon banding to dig in like cheese wire under your armpits – a real problem on long walks. The tough Cordra material that is used to make the BushBaby can also be found in the best quality professional rucksacks, and for obvious reasons. As soon as you try this carrier you can tell it is practically impervious to wear – the Vaude looks nicer with a velour style back system, but you know this will look shabby in time. Lightweight Aluminium is used in both carriers but to me the BushBaby shaded the comparison hear as well. This appears to be because of its lack of a metal 'flip out' stand. Although this feature, which appears on many carriers, seems handy at a glance, all you really require is for a child carrier to have sufficient enough base to stand it up correctly while you place the child in it. As you would (and should) never leave a child for even a second in a grounded carrier, there seems little point in the extra weight and bulk of a kick out stand. The biggest benefit of all though is its storage capacity and ease of access to this. The Vaude housed a tiny back compartment which could store nothing more than its sun shield and perhaps a thin rainproof and map. The design also meant access was very, very difficult with a thin entrance and narrow compartment causing wedging
/catching of its contents. The BushBaby on the other hand has cavernous space and two fantastic U shaped openings that can be zipped totally flat for cleaning. I can fit my child's changing bag, a flask and packed lunch and still leave room for modest clothing items – there really is no contest. At the same time it has a third, thinner pocket for maps, wallets, Walkman etc. which again is invaluable. There are also extra features which I have yet to use, but I am sure will come in useful at a later date. It has stirrups included in the price, to give older children extra comfort. It can be easily dismantled in to two sections for flatter packing if you intended to stick it in a suitcase. BushBay have also started giving the child's sun visor (which used to cost an extra £16) away included in the price, which is another big plus. To sum up, this product blows the Vaude carriers away (I have seen their £120 'Pebbles' model and again it has some real design problems). It is also far more substantial and comfortable than the Kelty Kids 'Trek'(£130), which I tried before this purchase and is not a bad product (very light/good comfort), but again is well behind this product in the most important factors for a really good carrier. At £130 it is above most peoples budget for such a purchase, and is aimed at people who either enjoy a lot of walking (like my wife and I), or just people with stacks of cash. If you can afford it, then I suggest snapping up one of these things and look no further. It is one of my best purchases in many years, and not including the Macpac and 'Expedition' Kelty models which are nearer the £200 mark and I have not tried so can't comment on, is surely the best child carrier on the market today.
This baby carrier features the fully Adjustable Comfort Back System, designed to fit people from 5'2 to 6'2 tall, and giving the most exact fit available.

"At one time he struck a sign and continued."
More on the arrest of State Representative Jeff Wood from the Chippewa Herald:
Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Charles R. Teasdale, commander at the Southwest Region post at DeForest, said the arrest came after a motorist notified State Patrol of a possible drunk driver on the interstate highway.
Teasdale said a preliminary report says the vehicle was weaving on the road, onto the shoulder and back into the lane of traffic.
"At one time he struck a sign and continued," Teasdale said. A crash report will be filed, he said.
The trooper, identified as Andrew Rau, stopped the vehicle on westbound Interstate 90/94 just north of the interchange in which Interstate 39 splits off, near mile marker 102, Teasdale said.
Wood was arrested for first offense drunk driving, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, said Teasdale, who added that he did not know the nature of the drug paraphernalia or where the marijuana was located.
"It was from search incident to arrest, but I don't know if he had it on his person or in the vehicle," Teasdale said.
Meanwhile, the first calls for Wood's resignation from office are coming in the comments at the Chippewa Herald:
" This guy can't make the right decision about whether or not to drive when he's been drinking…
He can't make the right decision about whether or not to avoid illegal drugs. The same drugs that we preach at our kids to stay away from…
Yet we are supposed to PAY HIM to make decisions for us in Madison.
I don't think so. Resignation please. "
And another one:
" Mistakes are made by everyone, yes. But we must hold our representatives to a higher standard. The choices Wood made were horrible and thankfully no one aside from a sign was hurt or worse.
I agree, it's time to step down. "
And finally:
" Innocent until proven guilty…but, he is in a public office and if he had marijuana, this must not be the first time he used that drug.
The credibility is gone. He has done good for us but Jeff has made a mistake that will tarnish his work prior to this and from on in government.
Sorry Jeff, it is time to step down. "
According to the Leader-Telegram, Wood has no intention yet of stepping down. However, what he told AM 790 WAYY in Eau Claire may make some of his constituents wonder about his fitness to serve:
Wood did not immediately return phone messages left at his home and office. He told Newstalk 790 WAYY, a radio station in Eau Claire, that he had no plans to step down. He also tried to explain how marijuana ended up in his car.
"Somebody offered me some and I took it, and for whatever stupid reason got in my car and decided to drive home," he told the station.

INFIDEL!!! I am a devout flargist. I perform the flargist ceremony at least once a week. (It involves beer.)
Luc Duval says
I definitely support your argument that calling babies atheists is equally meaningless to calling them flightless. However, since calling them flightless is true by the definition of the word, calling them atheist would also [incredibly likely] be true.Meaningless, pointless, purposeless, but true.(Also, great poem, though it did seem to have some disquieting hints of flargism…)
girlofthegaps says
I would say that at this point, the word atheism has come to mean something more than its dictionary definition. It implies having considered the possibility of gods. So while babies could be considered atheists by dictionary definition, they are certainly not atheists by social definition.
Weird Bug Lady says
This is something I think often about. I may be vehement about my lack of belief, but I get annoyed at the name "atheist" because it implies that I need to be compared to religion, that belief in god is the norm, and that I must be defined at all. A baby may technically be an atheist just as he/she is flightless, but what's the point of using those terms?This line of thinking extends to adults, too. As much as I agree with and support even the most "strident" atheists, the word itself makes me cringe because of all the connotations and implications that go along with it. When asked what I believe (religiously) I say "nothing".
jb says
I prefer the term Awooist to the xtian slander atheist.
Cuttlefish says
JV–fortunately, beer is not solely the property of flargists!Luc–agreed; for me, true is a necessity, but true and meaningful beats the hell out of trivially true (and there is not a flimmer of flargism here, aside from Johnny Vector!)GotG–I agree, and would go further to say there are many different definitions of atheism, even among prominent atheists (I've argued with a few). As in science, with multiple operational definitions of similar concepts, the important thing is to make the definitions known up front; some of the disagreements fall away that way (well, yes, by that definition), and the remainder can be explored for meaningful nuances.WBL–agreed in principle, but not in practice. In practice, I don't mind the word "Atheist" at all, and use it to describe myself (when appropriate). When it is clear that someone else is using a strange definition, I cherish the opportunity to discuss the finer points of the definition, the history of the term, the variety of atheist experience. Basically, I consider it a "teachable moment".jb–I can understand the attraction, but a good friend convinced me that that particular term was too broad a brush, combined with an unnecessary insult, and doesn't often help the situation. I don't always agree with him–context is everything–but I try to have a very long fuse before using "woo". (unless, of course, I am stuck for a rhyme.)

I see the internecine "definition of 'atheist'" holy war has started again on the intertubes. lolDozens and dozens of inketrons have again been sacrificed to the cause.Yeah, "I was born an atheist" almost always gets me to virtually slap someone up side the head.-Rusty

I agree so much with what you just said. Most people do not realize what religion is for and that is identity. It is just to identify yourself in comparison to other people.

The Burlington County library and Rancocas Valley Regional High School's library have both pulled the gay themed collection, Revolutionary Voices, from the shelves. The county library director Gail Sweet cited "child pornography" as the reason behind the removal.
The YA-work in question is a collection of short stories written by "multicultural queer youth." The anthology features an introduction by Amy Sonnie, who edited the work, and a prose poem by Jason Roe. The book inspired the group, Resources for Youth, Students, and Trainers. In 2000, it was a finalist for the prestigious Lambda Literary Award.
The Courier Post spoke with ACLU-NJ deputy legal director Jeanne LoCicero and had this summary: "Revolutionary Voices had faced no official challenge at the library and the library's commissioners had not voted on its removal, according to information in Sweet's e-mails."
The American Library Association will celebrate banned book week from September 25th to October 2nd. Last year, the organization behind the celebration produced an interactive map to let it be known that book banning is a national problem. Some popular banned book titles include J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
