How's the man cave in your home?
I don�t really consider anything in our home to be my �man cave.� Yes, I have my computer set up in one cluttered corner of our dusty basement with various shelves and filing cabinets and, as you might suspect, newspapers scattered around. About one-fourth of our basement, another corner, is my workshop with power and hand tools, but I seem to find far too little time to tinker there.
I don�t have a big-screen TV in either spot, nor a bar with running water and/or refrigerator.
To me, those items seem to be priorities for a proper man cave. I saw a story about the man cave in advance of a Milwaukee-area home show earlier this month. It reminded me of our neighbor�s man cave in his garage, though he and his wife both enjoy hanging out there together. On steamy summer evenings, they�ll often be enjoying cold beers or sipping wine while watching a big-screen TV and passing traffic on their quiet street. They sometimes invite my wife and me to join them. It�s a nice setup.
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday is the South Central Wisconsin Builders Association�s Stateline Living Home, Health & Garden Expo at Beloit�s Eclipse Center (formerly the Beloit Mall). I wonder how well one might equip a man cave by checking out the merchandise and contractors at this show...

A detailed look at the numbers reveals that Zaza Pachulia is more or less exactly who we thought he was.
The native of Tbilisi, Georgia and his 3-year, $16-million contract did not turn the 2013-14 Milwaukee Bucks into a playoff team, even though that seemed to be the goal of general manager John Hammond when he signed Zaza and a pile of pricy veterans last summer. On the other hand, Pachulia brought to Milwaukee the exact same set of skills for which he was known during his eight seasons with the Atlanta Hawks.
For instance, a skill prized in NBA big men is rim protection. Pachulia does not block shots frequently. In his final season with the Hawks, Pachulia amassed only 12 blocks.
Continuing the trend after signing in Milwaukee, Zaza blocked 14 shots in 2013-14. Here is a Bucks-y partial list of players who blocked more than 14 shots last season:
Nate Wolters (!): 15
Chris Douglas-Roberts: 16
Caron Butler: 17
Brandon Knight: 17
John Salmons: 19
Monta Ellis: 23
From their respective Milwaukee tenures, it's fairly clear that none of those guys were shot repellents, no? Zaza isn't one either.
Sometimes protecting the rim goes beyond blocking shots though. If Pachulia was instead dissuading or altering shots — forcing opponents to miss shots near the rim — that would be sufficient. But again, Zaza falls short of his peers.
For each of the Bucks defenders who faced 3 or more shots per game while within 5 feet of the rim, here are the NBA.com/stats defensive numbers sorted by the field goal percentage of their opponents.
In short, teams are making a lot of shots over Zaza. He doesn't jump well, and a 2013 injury to his Achilles' tendon has robbed him of what little vertical burst he had to begin with. He's an easy mark in the paint.
The team numbers reflect the same trend. The Bucks block 3.4 shots per 100 possessions with Zaza playing and 6.0 shots per 100 possessions with him on the bench.
Enough with the bad numbers though. Pachulia helps the Bucks in a lot of subtle ways. Despite his substandard rim protection, the Bucks still played better with Zaza on the court (-6.9 points per 100 possessions) than off it (-9.4 points). He must be doing something right.
One of Zaza's strengths is passing. Per 48 minutes, his assists created 10.9 points — the top mark on the team among non-point guards. To revert to anecdotal evidence, it was visibly clear that young players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nate Wolters moved better off the ball with Pachulia in the lineup. HE seemed to have a strong big-to-big connection with John Henson as well. His sharp passing soothed the offense like a cozy security blanket.
The difference was most noticeable from long range. The Bucks shot 46% on two-point field goal attempts whether they were playing with or without Zaza. However, Milwaukee was a markedly better three-point team with Pachulia playing.
Bucks 3-pt. FG%
Zaza on: 38.0%
Zaza off: 34.1%
As a point of reference, the difference between 38.0% and 34.1% on a team-wide scale is the difference between Golden State (4th-best of 30 teams) and Minnesota (26th out of 30). Good passing is contagious, and good passing leads to better shotmaking. And in 2014, the NBA is a shotmaker's league.
Breaking down the numbers on Pachulia is a mixed bag, and one that is predictably mixed. He makes the offense better and the defense worse — with the net difference being a slight positive. Ultimately, the factor that probably swings the balance in favor of Zaza is that he provides a calming veteran presence in a locker room full of youngsters searching for one. For a group without viable championship aspirations for 2015, a team like the Bucks could do a lot worse than Zaza Pachulia for their backup center.

Bryce Harper: Bold Predictions for Phenom's First Stint in MLBApril 30, 2012
If you haven't heard the name Bryce Harper yet, chances are you will hear it a lot now.
The Washington Nationals player—who we won't yet call a star—impressed greatly in his first outing in the bigs and in the process, created what could well be baseball's version of Jeremy Lin or Tim Tebow.
With a double, an RBI on a sacrifice fly and one incredible throw from left field, the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft showed that maybe the hype surrounding his potential wasn't too far off base.
This is, after all the same Bryce Harper that found himself on the cover of Sports Illustrated at just 16 years of age with the tagline—Baseball's Chosen One.
As far as debut performances go, you couldn't have really asked for a better start, although I'm sure one out of the park would have been what he dreamed about that night.
Yet for all the hype and excitement about the potential superstar Harper could be, we must be careful not to get ahead of ourselves, as the reality is that he will likely be sent back to the minor league once Ryan Zimmerman returns from his shoulder injury.
Which, according to recent reports, appears to be sometime in mid-May.
That gives Harper around three to four weeks in his first stint in the big-time—ample opportunity to chalk up plenty of memorable moments for not only Nationals fans, but right across the league.
So as far as bold predictions go, here's three that look set to happen in the teenager's opening stint in Major League Baseball.
1. Harper will hit double-figures for RBI.
Currently, Harper has just the single RBI to his name, but with potentially 10 to 20 games before Zimmerman returns, that number could well soar in to double figures.
Throughout the minor leagues, Harper has chalked up 58 RBI in 109 games, at an average of 0.53 per game. And whilst those numbers might not be magnificent, should he be able to emulate those numbers in the big time, the Nationals youngster will find himself in double figures.
If you're looking for a number, I say 12.
2. Harper's rocket arm will be on show for all to see.
Likely to field at left field, Harper will have great potential to showcase his strong arm and in his first stint in MLB, expect it to be on show every single night.
His minor league stats show that from 101 defensive chances, Harper has recorded 94 putouts—leaving him with a fielding percentage of .970 and a 1.92 range factor per game.
However, without looking at the numbers, Harper's strong arm was evident from his very first game.
In his first game, with the game on the line late in the seventh, Harper lets rip with an absolute rocket from left field. Due to Ramos' catching error, it didn't force an out, but it did give fans a taste of what can be expected from the left field over the next few weeks.
The rocket arm will be on show and will create, let's go with 12 outs.
It's a nice number.
3. Harper will bag a homer and will keep his helmet on.
After watching his first career Major League hit against the Los Angeles Dodgers, two things were evident—two things here; yes, I know, it's kind of cheating.
Firstly, Bryce Harper bagging himself a home run is not at all out of the equation.
The kid has a strong swing and a great sweet spot. His first hit found the base of the back wall on the full, so expecting him to take it a few yards further will happen in the next few weeks.
I'd say it happens in Game 12, just because the number is working so far.
Secondly, and definitely more importantly, is the helmet issue.
As you can see below, in his first ever run around the diamond, Harper appeared to flick off his helmet so that the world could see his odd effort at a mo-hawk.
Should he launch one over the wall, expect the helmet to stay on.
But don't expect the expectations to do so. They will have gone further than the hit itself as baseball's superstar of the future shows that the time, may well have finally come.
Tim Tebow, eat your heart out.
We've got Bryce Harper.

New rules on illegal dumping
The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, has announced a crackdown on illegal dumping.
John Barilaro says harsh new penalties are being introduced to deter people from committing the offence.
He says the new legislation will see harsher jail terms of up to two years, as well as giving the Environmental Protection Authority increased powers.
Mr Barilaro says he hopes the new penalties will deter people.
"In most cases it's a blight on the community landscape, on our environmental areas and there are impacts for the environment (and) for the wildlife," he said.
"It scars the landscape that our communities live in."
The legislation was introduced to parliament last week.

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 | 2:17 p.m.
Larry Markotay, a former chief constable in Boulder City, was found dead in a hotel room in Henderson after apparently shooting himself amidst a trial on burglary and other charges, officials said.
Chief Deputy District Attorney J.P. Raman said Wednesday that Larry Markotay, 44, shot and killed himself in a room at Sunset Station. A District Court judge dismissed the jury.
Markotay faced burglary and other charges after police alleged they seized 85 firearms, drug paraphernalia and more than two dozen badges from various law enforcement agencies from his home in 2010.
Police arrested Markotay at his home on March 10, 2010, for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident on Feb. 22, 2010, when he crashed into a light pole at the corner of Utah and 7th streets in Boulder City.
In the ensuing investigation, police searched Markotay's home and found more than 80 firearms, including a handgun with its serial number scratched off and others with missing documentation, authorities said.
He later admitted to picking the lock of his ex-girlfriend's house on Feb. 14, 2010, and stealing guns, police said.
Markotay resigned in April 2010 after serving as the city's constable for 15 years.

Activists said Monday that they have gathered enough petition signatures to ask voters in November to repeal a 1993 charter amendment that made Cincinnati the only U.S. city to ban enactment or enforcement of gay rights laws. Leaders of a group called Citizens to Restore Fairness said the charter
amendment unfairly singles out gay people and keeps them from seeking legal protection against discrimination. Laws are needed to protect people from being fired, denied housing, or refused
service in a restaurant or store because they are gay, said the group, which plans to submit signatures for certification before the summer deadline.
The coalition that drafted the amendment, approved by 62% of voters, said it will fight any repeal effort. Phil Burress, chairman of the group--called Equal Rights, Not Special Rights--said civil rights laws already forbid discrimination, adding that gay people shouldn't be entitled to additional, special protections.
Last week Mayor Charlie Luken called on voters to repeal the amendment. Activists say the amendment even forbids gay people to lobby city officials for laws on their behalf. Tourism officials say the charter amendment has cost Cincinnati more than $64 million in business since 1993 because organizations concerned that the city is unfriendly to gays have held their conventions elsewhere.

The Framley Examiner
This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (October 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Type of site
|Newspaper parody, humor website
|Available in
|Framley's traditional favourite since 1978
The Framley Examiner (Framley's traditional favourite since 1978) is a parody of a newspaper in a small provincial English town. Very little happens in Framley, so the highlights in the newspaper are the absurdist classified ads (for items such as second-hand Dachshund stabilizers, a child's Paul Simon costume, and a set of nested bunk beds that sleep eighteen progressively smaller people), firmly in the absurdist British comic tradition of The Goon Show and Monty Python. It has been noted that Framley and its surrounding villages are actually based upon the town of Chelmsford, Essex and surrounding settlements such as Writtle.
The Framley Examiner originally began as a website, started around 2001.[1] Its success then spawned a book The Framley Examiner (ISBN 0-7181-4579-8) described on the cover as "the book of the website of the newspaper". A second book, Historic Framley (ISBN 0-14-101528-4), was later published, produced in association with Framley Museum.
The writers are Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris. The four are regular contributors to Viz magazine. The book Bollocks to Alton Towers (ISBN 0-7181-4791-X), published in April 2005, by the same authors, is a non-fiction book unrelated to The Framley Examiner. The website was last updated on 23 July 2013, but more recent posts have been made to social media accounts.
- Challenger Putney, a bespectacled reporter who enjoys reporting on stories featuring the Framley town council or the Mayor of Framley, William D'Ainty. He is especially suited to the job, since he lives with the Mayor and his wife.
- Katie Blirdsnest, a woman who runs a feature called "The Blirdnest Report" which takes a look at life in and around the Framley area. Her previous reports have included such topics as interviewing the man who swallows the tide to stop it from flooding Framley, and rolling down rubbish heaps with binmen. Her reports often contain the phrase "I couldn't believe my eyes!"
- Damiun Clavalier, bored son of international fridge magnate Garuth Clavelier, who writes ridiculous articles in the hope of being sacked.
- Adam Wrent, whose photo byline depicts him at the age of four.
- Taunton Mishap, whose trademark journalistic style is to miss the point of the story.
- Pigshit Nelson, a transgender man who writes unintelligible sport reports.
- Bunco Booth, a journalist who is in love with Katie Blirdsnest.
- Beaky Coxwain, a possible lesbian who is also in love with Katie Blirdsnest
- Ursula Cloybeam, the Examiner's petty and vitriolic arts correspondent. Her reviews of local arts include a harsh review of a local school production of Julius Caesar. She is also apparently a member of the local secret society the Wripple Vetivers.
- Jesus Chigley, wrote the first article ever published in the Framley Examiner, and spends most of the time reminding his colleagues of this.
- Stan Rubbish, the Examiner's darts correspondent.
- Bowery Tarpaulin
- Pharaoh Clutchstraw, science expert.
- Arcady Belvedere, writes about local history that only he seems to remember or care about.
- Odgar Cushion (deceased), a reporter of uncertain age who wrote the "We'll Fancy That" column, until his death sometime between 1994 and 2012 when the column was inherited by his son, Odnald.
- Arbroath Smokie
- Oliver Singultus-Hiccup, motoring reporter.

- Mayor William D'Ainty, a flamboyant and possibly insane man who mounts ever more outrageous stunts in order to relieve the tedium of ruling Framley. Reference: the late Billy Dainty, a music hall and television comic
- Vince Previous, an unsavoury fellow who frequently places adverts offering various kinds of massage for ladies.
- Ianbeale Steeplecocque, MP for the district, whose sole concern is the effect of time travel on the local economy and infrastructure. Given the continued meddling of Professor Bostrom, his concerns may be justified. He was recently ousted in a cash for crisps scandal. Reference: Ian Beale is a character in the BBC soap EastEnders.
- A constant desire for a Black and Decker Dinnermate and to go at any length to get one. For example, in one ad: "Fountain of Knowledge, will swap for Elixir of Youth or Black and Decker Dinnermate". Reference: portable workbench the Black & Decker Workmate.
- Framley's twin town, Baden Schleissgarten ASF, and its mayor, Claus Freneddt, occasionally appear in the Examiner. Mayor Freneddt once ordered the Framley council to put up posters saying "your town stinks" across the town.
- Roy Newby, a rake magnate who owns most of the shops in the Framley area under the brand of "Newby's of Molford", including the NcNewby's fast food restaurant.

Nevada Sen. Dean Heller, the Senate's champion for extending long-term unemployment benefits, didn't appear to get very far in his push Tuesday to get House Republicans on board.
With time running out to get something to the president's desk, the Nevada Republican spoke by phone with House Speaker John Boehner, where he asked the speaker to bring a Senate-passed bill extending benefits up for a vote in the House.
"He encouraged the Speaker to allow the unemployment insurance extension legislation to move forward in the House, making the case that this bill is not just important for Nevada, but for the entire country," said Heller's communications director, Chandler Smith.
But Boehner didn't budge, telling Heller the House is working on its own plan that would include job-creating measures, a major theme for House Republicans this spring.
"The speaker … told him the same thing he has told the White House since before Christmas: We are willing to look at a plan that is paid for and includes something to help create jobs," said Boehner's spokesman, Michael Steel.
Earlier this month, the Senate passed a bill extending unemployment benefits for people who have been unemployed six months or longer, a bipartisan effort led by Heller and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. Even though the bill complies with Republican demands to pay for the increase spending, it is still a hard sell in the House.
Boehner has said he'll support unemployment benefits only if they're paired with job-creating measures, and House Republican leaders didn't put unemployment benefits on the chamber's spring agenda.
In addition, time is running out. The Senate bill, which pays for retroactive benefits, expires June 1.
Heller, ever aware of the time crunch, told reporters before talking to Boehner "I want the House to move on this right away."
House Democrats joined in Heller's push Tuesday.
Rep. Sandy Levin of Michigan submitted a letter to Boehner urging him to take up the Senate bill for a vote.
The letter included stories from unemployed Americans across the nation who relied on long-term federal benefits, including a 55-year-old Republican named Mitch from Henderson, who wrote "I have gone to bed hungry more than once. … Come May I am out of ideas and not much left to sell."

Varicose Veins Patient Story
Age 35
Denis Nadirov got his first varicose veins when he was only 10. The first doctor he saw told him he had seen only one case as severe - on a 70-year-old.
A hereditary condition, Denis had watched his father, grandfather and aunt battle this serious ailment in his home country of Kazakhstan - and undergo very extensive and painful procedures to cure it. When the opportunity arose, Denis decided to undergo surgery with Dr. Paul Dally, who specializes in the treatment of vein disorders using minimally invasive techniques at PeaceHealth Medical Group Surgery.
His, indeed, was a severe case. Denis had ulcers on his feet and any tiny wound he got on his legs wouldn't heal for months. Over the period of a year, Denis underwent four surgeries, all outpatient. "The biggest surprise," he said, "was the recovery."
After the first surgery, where Dr. Dally closed up the leaking valve in one leg, Denis felt - and looked - noticeably better. After each surgery, Denis walked out of the hospital. He felt little pain from the procedures and was back to his daily routine within just a few days.
"Dr. Dally must be doing something really right because I could barely fit into his schedule. I researched him and found a line of people trying to get in to see him," Denis said. "I felt very confident with him. He told me, 'I think we can help you and you will feel light years better.'"
His legs, he said, simply feel lighter. In addition to the veins disappearing, Denis has had almost no scarring from the procedures. And his ulcers went away within a couple of months after the first surgery.
"I would day or night recommend to anyone to have this done, even if it's not a physical problem yet. Varicose veins don't get better," he said. "After the surgery, you think better, you feel better. It's good for your general health."

The Württemberger was developed at the Marbach state stud in Germany in the 17th century. At this time, the stud wanted to breed very versatile horses for riding and driving. The original Württemberger was produced from crosses between local mares and Arabian stallions. Later, Trakehner, Anglo-Norman, Friesian, Andalusian, Barb, and Suffolk Punch blood was added. The Anglo-Norman stallion Faust was one of the most influential sires. Cobby in type, he is largely responsible for the original shape of the breed. The Württemberger was originally more cob-like in conformation, and were suitable for draft and farm work, as well as riding. Their stud book was formed in 1895. However, there has been a steady change in type towards a lighter sport horse. Trakehner blood has been very influential, most notably from the stallion Julmond.
The Württemberger or Württemberg is a light breed of horse from Germany. They make very good riding horses, excelling at dressage and show jumping.

The Eurosystem and the art of central banking
The Eurosystem is the fifth decentralized system in the history of central banks. It consists of the European Central Bank (ECB) and twelve National Central Banks (NCBs) forming the European Monetary Union (EMU). The stark decentrality of this System is so little known that ubiquitous statements by high level Euro experts on its supposed similarity with other decentralized systems, like the former Bundesbank System and the existing Federal Reserve System, are met with no protest. A closer look on European documents and the balance sheet of the ECB reveals, however, that the ECB – far from being the monopoly supplier of central bank money – cannot set the refinancing conditions to credit institutions in EMU. The latter are determined by the Council of Governors of the European Central Banks, while the main refinancing operations are executed by the NCBs leaving to the ECB the role of vicarious agent. The ECB can neither control all types of securities accepted for the NCBs' credit operations nor is it able to act as the lender of last resort. Yet, every possible manoeuvre to make the ECB look like a central bank of the NCBs is relentlessly employed, most obviously in the design of the Euro banknotes, which are issued by the NCBs but carry only the imprint of the ECB.

The sexualisation of children
Note: This story on the sexualisation of children necessarily contains explicit material not suitable for children and which may offend some readers.
When exactly was it that porn magazines came out from behind the counter onto the shelves in full view of passing children?
Finally legal teasin teens, Bad ass babe, Busty bad girl and Barely legal dream teens are titles (and images) kids are confronted with at the corner store, petrol station or in the local newsagency.
Supermarkets have also taken to selling soft porn - on low-level shelving. A recent magazine blatantly titled "SEX SCHOOL" is hardly what I expected my kids to encounter on a trip for groceries.
Zoo magazine is sold in supermarkets
One major supermarket chain responded to questions about selling soft porn:
"Whilst (supermarket name removed) aims to provide a pleasant shopping environment for all customers, (supermarket name removed) also seeks to balance this need with customer demand for particular publications."
When did customers start demanding porn in supermarkets?
Nice for some, but what about the children?
Driving the kids to school, parents frequently encounter billboards such as "Sex for Life", "Want Longer Lasting Sex? Restore Your Sex Life", "Stronga Longa Donga", "FCUK", "Premature Ejaculation & Erection Problems" and "Sex - Chocolate and Flowers Not Required".
A billboard for a brothel on the school route
In response to community complaint, a brothel advertiser advised the Advertising Standards Board: "It is acknowledged that the billboard is located in a route for school children before and after school. To claim that this creates a problem is naïve. Such a claim ignores the valuable educational role played by advertising, and in this instance will assist in helping to debunk misconceptions that are frequently held by some members of the community with regard to lawful prostitution."
Since when did children have misconceptions about lawful prostitution?
The point is children are being bombarded with sexualised imagery in their environment: music videos on television on weekend mornings; sexually suggestive video clips at the local bowling alley at children's parties; sexually explicit "adult only" DVD covers in the local video shop; sexually overt and often degrading lyrics in popular songs; highly sexualised Bratz dolls; sexualised fashion and underwear for children; explicit billboards and much more.
It's the pornification of our culture.
Been to a major shopping complex lately? One popular variety store displays lots of children's merchandise at the entrance, and also displays the sign "Home of Beanie Kids" above the door. Step inside, look along the side wall and you'd swear you're in a sex shop...
A box with a woman flashing her bare butt reads - "Booty from the block. J Ho the famous fanny doll - she's got the ASS everyone dreams about! 3 tender loves holes - pick your passion."
"Toys" such as this are found in variety stores
"Lusty Linda -The Passionate pen holder. She's a moaner, she's a groaner. She never has a headache. She's xtra X rated." No guesses which hole you shove your pen into.
There is a little sign that lets children know this is rude stuff - for over 18's. The rude stuff is in full view of children's eyes - you can look, but you can't buy!
In the middle of the shop is a coffee mug that bears the slogan "Better to have fucked up, than never to have fucked at all."
Who's thinking about the children?
There's a popular underwear and nightwear shop that sells, amongst other things, hens night merchandise in the middle of the store at children's eye levels. This is a store that young teenagers and mum's with children frequent. It also sells pole dancing kits, "The Sex Game", "Kiss my pussy" g-string, "Dick on a stick", "The Erotic Kit" - complete with a picture of a dildo,"Sexual Favour & Love cheques" - for acts of lust. These acts of lust include, "a blissful blowjob", "a loving blowjob", "a spanking session" and "to be blindfolded and tied up".
A major department store is selling underpants in small sizes that suit young teenagers with the slogans - "$$$ Worth it","Naughty butt nice", "Love sucks", "Smile - it's the 2nd best thing you can do with your lips", "Bite this", "Your boyfriend thinks I'm hot", and "I may be late but I'm worth the wait".
Underwear fit for teenagers?
A popular shop was recently criticised by child development experts, for its "Little Loosers" range of T-shirts, which featured the slogans "Ms Floozy", "Mr Well-hung", "Mr Pimp" and "Mr Asshole".
Another popular clothing store recently sold a size-0 T-shirt with the slogan, "All daddy wanted was a blow job".
A t-shirt for babies
When was it exactly, that shopping centers became outlets for sex shops?
The impact on children is high.
There is widespread concern that children are often forced to psychologically and cognitively deal with sex and sexuality, long before they are developmentally ready.
Research shows that exposure to sexualised imagery is linked to children's experience of increased anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body image problems, eating disorders, self harm, and sexually transmitted infections. Kids are also becoming sexually active at younger and younger ages.
The Australian Psychological Society is so concerned about this issue, it has recently released guidelines for parents regarding the early sexualistion of children.
The Australia Institute's report Corporate Pedophilia released in 2006, reported on industry lack of responsibility to our children.
The American Psychological Association's "Task force on the sexualisation of girls" reported that "ample evidence indicates that sexualisation has negative effects in a variety of domains, including cognitive functioning, physical and mental health, sexuality and beliefs."
Many leading Australian child development experts are speaking out about their concerns for our children.
But what are the rest of us doing? Our silence renders us complicit.
The corporate world treats our children as consumers and commodities - something to make a quick buck out of.
The advertising industry is self regulated, and has a voluntary code of conduct. It is clear that the Advertising Standards Board is not reflecting prevailing community standards. Billboards are not screened or vetted before they go out into the public arena.
Young girls' magazines are not regulated.
The 2007 Media Code of Conduct Working Group on Body Image report states:
"The predominant standpoint shared by the media and advertising stakeholders is against censorship and the restriction of what they view as their intrinsic rights and freedoms."
"Anecdotal evidence shows that the majority of stakeholders, or parties identified by them, do not feel socially responsible for the negative impact body images are having upon young people."
So, what about the rights of the child? Who is socially responsible?
Australia needs a federal children's commissioner and we need an independent regulatory body which oversees all children's interest in the media.
Parents need to speak out and stop buying into a sexualised culture.
Corporations need to be held accountable, or face strong consequences, for delivering sexualised imagery and merchandise which directly impacts children.
Our children are suffering, they need protection.

Spyware (or Adware) is a general term used for software that performs certain behaviors such as advertising, collecting personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer without appropriately obtaining your consent.
Spyware is software that tracks personal or sensitive information, and it is often associated with software that displays advertisements, called adware. That does not mean all software which provides ads or tracks your online activities is bad. For example, you might sign up for a free music service, but "pay" for the service by agreeing to receive targeted ads. If you understand the terms and agree to them, you may have decided that it is a fair tradeoff. You might also agree to let the company track your online activities to determine which ads to show you.
Other times unwanted software, which you did not knowingly install, will make changes to your computer that can be annoying and can cause your computer slow down or crash. These programs have the ability to change your Web browser's home page or search page, or add additional components to your browser you don't need or want. These programs also make it very difficult for you to change your settings back to the way you originally had them. These types of unwanted programs are often referred to as spyware. The key in all cases is whether or not you (or someone who uses your computer) understood what the software would do and agreed to install the software on your computer.
There are a number of ways spyware or other unwanted software can get on your system. A common trick is to covertly install the software during the installation of other software you want, such as a music or video file sharing program. Whenever you are installing something on your computer, make sure you carefully read all disclosures, including the license agreement and privacy statement. Sometimes the inclusion of unwanted software in a given software installation is documented, but it may appear at the end of a license agreement or privacy statement.
If your computer starts to behave strangely or displays any of the symptoms listed below, you may have spyware/adware installed on your computer.
Check our Anti-Spyware section.
Tips for avoiding Spyware installation are available on our Procedures to Follow page.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
A friend of mine loves underwater scenes--fish swimming through coral, dolphins playing, seashells, etc. She kept getting a pop-up for a 'free' animated underwater screensaver. After a while she couldn't resist temptation and downloaded the screensaver. She did get an animated screensaver and it looked very nice. However, she also got extremely disturbing pop-up ads for porn everytime she opened Internet Explorer--there were close-ups of bestiality.

I like the handgun style sights on the Benelli shotgun. Is there any way to have this type of sight put on a Remington 870? I don't care for ghost ring sights.

Headhunter, it's been my experience that you can put just about anything on anything. Without looking at the sights I don't know what all would be involved but I would have to say that it could be done. If you like, e-mail me and I'll research it a little more. George

Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Iowa
I have a mental illness that my college is aware of. Due to my mental illness I was unable to take an test during the set period. I emailed my teacher before class explaining why I couldn't take it (and he had received numerous emails earlier in the week about my poor mental and physical condition). He responded that I had to take it during that period unless I had prior permission. I went to the college's disability personnel and they sent him another email. Now he says that I can take the test, but he is going to dock me on it "to be fair." Is he breaking the laws about discriminating against persons with disabilities? Is there anything I can do? At least tell him that what he's doing is wrong? Thanks.

Sounds like you need to talk to someone who specializes in ADA law. Are you covered under the ADA?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Kevin Ellis and Erick Torres scored back-to-back goals just seconds apart a few minutes from time as Sporting Kansas City and Chivas de Guadalajara played to an entertaining 2-2 draw Wednesday night in a friendly at Livestrong Sporting Park.
The Goats took an early though a Marco Fabián penalty kick before Kansas City answered back through substitutes Soony Saad and Ellis in the second half, only to give up the equalizer in frustrating fashion when Torres latched on to Milos Stojcev's wayward back pass.
Sporting outshot Chivas 20-5 but couldn't take advantage of their opportunities in front of net, earning the club's second friendly draw this season after tying Newcastle United 0-0 in July.
With a large contingent of red and white clad fans behind them, Chivas managed to get on the board first as referee Ramon Hernandez pointed to the penalty spot when Aurélien Collin pulled down Carlos Fierro in the 18th minute. Fabián stepped up to take the ensuing spot kick a minute later and sent Eric Kronberg the wrong way, calmly side-footing the ball into the right side of the net.
Despite the goal Sporting dominated the rest of the half, creating plenty of scoring opportunities but failing to cash in on their efforts.
Kei Kamara came the closest when his stinging shot struck Luis Ernesto Míchel's far post in the 30th minute, leading to a rebound that fell to Graham Zusi. Zusi put his follow-up effort on goal, but it was headed out of danger by the Chivas defense.
Kamara connected with Zusi again five minutes later, curling a pinpoint cross to the far post, but the midfielder's header was just wide. Just a minute later, Jéferson nearly evened the score as well, uncorking a right-footed shot that skimmed just outside the post after dribbling from midfield.
The final chance of the half went to Kansas City captain and former Guadalajara legend Omar Bravo. Jéferson chipped an inch-perfect ball over the Chivas backline for the former Goat to run onto, but Bravo's effort was pushed away by Míchel.
Both teams made wholesale chances at halftime with Kansas City manager Peter Vermes submitting five changes and Chivas' Fernando Quirarte swapping out two players after having made two substitutions in the first half.
With both teams looking to find their footing, the second 45 minutes started slowly. Bravo had a goal called back for offside before leaving to cheers in the 53rd minute, but the pace slowed considerably during the early-going after what was an active first half.
Kansas City finally took advantage of their relative dominance in the 75th minute when Saad evened the score at 1-1. Fellow substitute Stojcev chipped a delicate through ball behind the Chivas defense, and, despite some hints of offside, Saad ran onto the pass and finished with aplomb.
A little more than 10 minutes later, another Kansas City rookie gave the home team the lead. After Ellis earned a free kick, Jéferson curled the ball into a dangerous area and the rebound eventually fell to the Home Ggrown product for an easy tap-in.
Unfortunately for Kansas City, the lead was short lived. Torres intercepted Stojcev's errant pass almost immediately after the ball was kicked off and slid it under Kronberg for the equalizer to conclude the scoring.
In what amounted to the last action of the match, Craig Rocastle was sent off for a dangerous tackle from behind that left Torres writhing in the ground in pain.

It is related to the flowering Amaryllis — the name of which is derived from the ancient Latin word for garlic.
As a genus, garlic includes several hundred species, some of them native to most of North America. It is also native to central Asia and was introduced to the rest of the world by early immigrants.
Visitors to the Secret City Festival will experience tighter security measures and maybe a few delays when entering the concerts this year, all in the name of safety.
No backpacks or coolers will be allowed into the concert site, and all bags will be subject to search. Visitors should expect delays if carrying in anything that needs to be searched.
Organizers suggest festival attendees only bring their concert tickets, money for food, an ID to buy or consume beer and a chair for the concerts.

UWP employees get "All I Wanted for Christmas"
PLATTEVILLE-For several years, a number of University of Wisconsin-Platteville employees at Glenview Commons have exchanged names and purchased gifts for fellow co-workers during the holiday season. This year, the group put a charitable twist on their holiday gift giving.
"In the past, we've drawn names and gotten Christmas gifts for each other, but this year, we bought gifts we thought that person would have enjoyed playing with when they were children," said Tina Osterholz, a cook at Glenview Commons who organized this year's gift exchange. "We named the gift exchange 'All I Wanted for Christmas' and exchanged the gifts. However, instead of keeping the presents, we'll donate them to the Toys for Tots program. We thought children could use the toys more than we could use the gifts."
Osterholz got the idea from her daughter, whose office in Detroit did a similar gift-giving exchange last year. Last week, Glenview Common employees who wanted to participate drew names and were given a limit of $10 to spend. The toys ranged from Barbie Dolls and Play-Dough sets to Legos and toy musical instruments.
"We tried to match the toys with each person's personality," Osterholz said. "So one lady who's a real computer whiz received a toy laptop. Another woman who's studying to become a nurse received a toy medical kit. You can get some really cool toys for only $10 and it was fun to see what each person thought the other person would enjoy - I got a princess Barbie!"
Joie Schoonover, the new associate director of dining services at UWP, said she thought not only was the donating aspect of the gift exchange neat, but the "All I wanted for Christmas" theme was especially unique.
"The staff organized all of this on their own and came to management and asked if this idea was OK with us." Schoonover said. "We really have a creative staff here who work well together. They're a great bunch of people who are very caring of others and concerned about what's going on in the world."
The toys were all delivered to the Platteville City Hall Thursday, Dec. 12, to be donated to the Toys for Tots program.

Mosquito 3CH Radio Control Helicopter Version 2 by Syma
With the weather turning sour I decided to pick up one of these so I can play around with it indoors. I picked it up for $37 (inc/shipping) off of ebay from 93Video. They shipped it really fast.
In the box was the heli, a spare rear prop, a spare control link, a 9V battery, transmitter, and a wall adapter to charge the heli (not the "C" battery charger pad like the RS version).
Stock weight of the heli is 37.2g (1.31oz) but there are a number of unnecessary stickers which I plan on removing. Does anyone know the stock weights of the RS and Alany versions? The front "eye" LEDs stay solid green, there are a couple of "stripes" on the side which flash red-blue when the heli is on.
Stock it hovers pretty well although the blades aren't tracking too great. I haven't made any attempt to fix this yet. Forward speed is dismal but it's definitely there. As you can the flybars are weighted. The main blades are screwed on pretty tight. I'm wondering if loosening them a little bit would help with the tracking....
The transmitter sticks are WAY too stiff, I need to either remove the springs or replace them with something much softer. It's very difficult to modulate them the way they are.
The legs catch on carpet very easily... I wonder why they didn't add little "beads" or some tubing on the ends to prevent this from happening...
The charger is kind of funny in the fact that it has one red LED which is on only if the heli is not plugged in, or when it's done charging. I would think it should work the other way around but it works well enough and I prefer it to charging from batteries. I can't really give a charge/flight time report yet since I haven't timed either.
Flight report: As I said, it hovers great. It usually needs some trim adjustment. The trim is controlled by two buttons and not a dial like some of the other versions. When giving it a forward or backward command it messes with the trim so you have to adjust with the right stick. Trying to trim it would be futile because as soon as you re-adjust the speed of the rear prop you'd have to re-trim again. I think the voltage is not isolated well between the main and tail motors and when current flows to the tail motor the voltage on the main motors drops screwing up the trim and giving it a tendency to drop. I'm getting a little better at controlling it but I think some mods are definitely in order and will improve the flight characteristics. I've never flow any of the other versions out there so I don't know how this one compares.. to me, it's more fun then the 2 channel helis though.
One odd thing is that only one control link is on there... I'm not sure if this is by design or what. I haven't tried to put the second one on to see if it makes any difference.
Can I get some recommendations on what to mod to improve flight? So far I have:
1. Delete throttle spring in Xmitter... maybe the right one also.
2. Remove stickers. Should I remove the ones from the blades or do they make the hover more stable?
3. Lube the gears w/silicone? Not sure if this is recommended.
4. Adjust blade tracking... how?
5. Try a picco prop in the rear to see if it helps w/forward speed.
Has anyone attempted to tilt the rear motor/prop forward a few degrees? That way it would not only "tilt" the heli forward but some of the vector would go to providing some forward thrust...
That's all for now... thanks for reading.
i'm pretty sure the RS/ITC Micro-Mosquito is around 20 grams, but don't quote me on that -- i'm not sure that a clone could be almost twice the weight
I'm not sure why it's so much heavier but I'm guessing the weight must be from the rotors. The MM also has exposed main motors. It doesn't seem to effect flight duration... I still haven't timed it but I can fly for a long time. The LiPo capacity is quoted as 210mAh (3.7V) in the manual. I did do a few things to it in the last couple of hours.
1. Pulled off stickers except those under the rotors (still not sure if I should do that). I haven't checked to see how much weight I saved.
2. Pulled the Xmitter apart and removed the throttle spring. I like it much better without it.
3. I tried to "loosen" the springs on the right stick but they get inelastic very quickly.... just a warning to anyone who plans to do this mod... work with one loop at a time and go VERY SLOW. The springs were pretty much worthless after my "modding". So I put a couple of rubber bands in their place. They're not quite the right size but they seem to work well enough. I didn't like the right stick without any centering.
3. I tried the Picco prop in the back. It works great, but unfortunately in the wrong direction (backward). I noticed that the prop is very directional so even if I got used to working the forward/reverse stick backward it still wouldn't do much good because the fast flight would be in the reverse direction.
4. I put a little bit of weight in the front because, although close, the CG was a little bit back. There's no mention of it in the manual which is kind of surprising. I'm thinking of adding a little "probiscus" to correct the balance.
I must say that the more I fly this thing the more fun it's becoming... and the better I'm getting at it. I think it was a pretty good deal for $40. I think the RS MM runs something like $70. Hopefully with some more fine tuning I'll be able to get it to go exactly where I want.
BTW, I should have mentioned that there is no throttle "arming" function like on the full size radios so if you do the throttle spring mod make sure you keep that in mind.
I found a post with the weights of the different units and it looks like mine is right on the money. See here:
I took the stickers off the blades of mine, didn't hurt anything. I also had to balance the blades to get some vibration out of it. That helped it fly a little better. Also, if the heli turns in one direction when you go forward, try twisting the tail shaft so that the tail motor points SLIGHTLY to one side, this will help counter the torque of the motor. I had to adjust mine, but now it flies nice and straight in forward flight.
Thanks for the hints MicroTex, I'll give those a shot tomorrow. I wonder if the stickers on the blades are somehow intended to strengthen them or keep them together in the event that they break?
How do you guys adjust the tracking of fixed pitched rotors like these?
Last edited by Wayno-san; Nov 28, 2007 at 04:05 AM.
I took the stickers off the blades and everywhere else and put a little silicone lube on the gears. I don't think that the blades are out of balance but the lower rotor is definitely not tracking as well as the upper. I have no idea how to adjust the tracking on these things, or if it's even possible. I did remove the blades but they have an oval "slot" which keeps them from rotating around the screw axis... I have no idea why they designed it like this. I think the heli would take more abuse if the blades could "give" a little.
After a lot more flight time on this bug I'm getting a lot better... even managed to fly it through a doorway. I wish it had more fine control toward the center of the stick when it comes to yaw. I read somewhere that the MM does better in this department. I can't confirm this but I know that the electronics in the x-mitter look a LOT different. I'm thinking about during a little surgery and changing the polarity of the rear motor so I could use the Picco props for better forward speed. I guess I'll see how delicate the job would be once I open it up.
There appear to be some crazy variations of this bug... the one here claims that it has an ADJUSTABLE GYRO!!!!!
Don't worry to much about the blades, they have proven to be very durable. I have hit pretty hard and have no damage on mine. As for adjusting the blade tracking.... put a thin piece of white tape width wise on the outer end of one of the lower blades. This will help distinguish one blade from the other while the blades are spinning. Now power up the rotors and view them from the side, you should be able to tell if one blade is higher than the other in the way they are tracking, and you should be able to tell which is which by the tape. now bend a little more curve into the blade that is tracking the lowest. This will give the blade more lift and should bring it to the same track as the other blade. repeat until they are tracking the same.
As for the yaw, the MM has WAY better control of the yaw. It is much more precise and can be flown with great accuracy if you swap the rotors to the flybar style.
If I find a good deal on the MM I'll pick one up... but I'm not going to pay $70 for one. I think the clones are a pretty good bang for the buck.
BTW, I did some surgery today... took a bunch of photos. I'll post them along with some descriptive text a little later. I found some surprises... one, the battery is actually 180mAh, not as stated in the manual... two, there's ballast up front between the motors. I also couldn't figure out how to separate the main shaft so I could lube the inside... I think the "caps" might be glued on.
By adding more curvature you mean curing it along it's axis correct? That is, as if you put a pencil lengthwise under the blade and try to bent it around the pencil (not sure if this makes sense).
Thanks again for the info...
Bug Dissection
Here are the photos I promised.... anyone know how to get the main shaft apart?
I also drilled some holes in the bottom cover (and will drill some in the top also) around the LiPo to help facilitate cooling (or at least a little bit of airflow).

GIRLS' HOCKEY: Cardinals fly past Eagles in section hockey
WINDOM -- Sarah Luhmann on Tuesday night became the first hockey player for Windom Area to score 200 career points, but Luverne's girls' hockey team became the first of the two rival teams to advance past the second round of the Section 3A playoffs.
The third-seeded Cardinals scored four unanswered goals to defeat the second-seeded Eagles 4-1.
Luhmann, a senior center, broke a scoreless tie with an unassisted goal in the first period, but Luverne dominated the rest of the game.
Katie Eeten, an eighth-grader, scored on a hard shot from near the blue line early in the second period to notch the equalizer, and Kat Dahl scored the winner on an assist from Mikki Fitzer later in the period.
Amanda Niessink gave Luverne a two-goal lead on assists from Lauren Christensen and Liz Solma with 1:35 remaining in the period, and Paige Olson scored on assists from Fitzer and Steph Schultz with 5:03 remaining in the game to seal the victory and help Luverne avenge a regular-season sweep.
Kelsey Theesfeld made 13 saves in goal for the Cardinals, and Brooklyn Drahota made 39 stops for the Eagles.
Luverne will face top-seeded New Ulm at 7 p.m. Friday at the Redwood Falls Community Center.
Luverne 0 3 1 -- 4
Windom Area 1 0 0 -- 1

LINQ to SQL: Getting Started
I am going to start by showing a few new language features that are important to LINQ (and hence LINQ-to-SQL) that you may not have come across yet if you are not already playing around with this stuff.
A great place to start is to bring up intellisense and have a look at the structure of the classes that have been created for you.
Each table in the database is given a property on the
DataContext object. The type of this property (using
Addresses as the example) will be
System.Data.Linq.Table<Address>. This class implements the
IEnumerable<> and
IQueryable<> interfaces that provides the underlying LINQ functionality.
You will note a
Count() method here, as well as a number of other interesting functions such as
Contains() and
DeleteAllOnSubmit(). We will take a look at a number of these later. First however I want to talk about what the
<> symbols that are being scattered around.
When we define a class, for example List, as
List<MyCustomClass> it tells the compiler that this List instance should substitute MyCustomClass for object in its definition. The actual definition of the List class decides where and how the Type is used, but we will not go into that detail here. What this means is that you can have a List whose methods will take/return the objects of type
MyCustomClass without messing around with casting to/from object or creating a custom sub-class.
This technique is used heavily in LINQ-to-SQL to provide strong compile time type checking.
What this means for you in practice is that if you try to add an
Order record to the
Address table, it will pick this mistake up at compile-time, not with a run-time error.
Now lets put a few things together and add a record to one of the tables.
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var db = new AdventureWorksDataContext();
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(db.AddressTypes.Count().ToString()); // 6
var x = new AddressType()
Name= "New Address Type",
ModifiedDate= DateTime.Now
db.AddressTypes.InsertOnSubmit(x); // Queues up an insert
db.SubmitChanges(); // Submits all the changes in a single transaction
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(db.AddressTypes.Count().ToString()); // 7
The first question, some may ask, is what is that
var keyword. Well rest easy, C# has not introduced some new variant type, var tells the compiler to look at the assignment expression and determine the type to assign to the new variable.
var x = new AddressType() is absolutely identical to
AddressType x = new AddressType(), its just cleaner to read and easier to write. It has one other use, that we will see later.
Also of interest is the way I have set the property values for my new
AddressType record. Again this is just a cleaner way of setting up a class and assigning properties to it.
You gain no benefit from using either of these new tricks other than cleaner (in my opinion) code. Let's now put together something a little more complex (and contrived)
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var db = new AdventureWorksDataContext();
db.Log = Console.Out;
var query = from c in db.Customers
where c.CustomerAddresses.Count(a => a.Address.City == "Seattle") > 0
select new
AccountNumber= c.AccountNumber,
SaleValue = c.SalesOrderHeaders.Sum(o => o.SubTotal)
foreach (var customer in query)
Console.WriteLine(customer.AccountNumber + " - " + customer.SaleValue.ToString());
First things first, by hooking up
db.Log to
Console.Out, we can see the SQL statements that are being executed. You can just as easily hook this up to output to a file.
What this statement does is find customers with an address in
Seattle, and sum up their orders. There are two new features here that need to be discussed.
*First we have the Lambda Expression
a => a.City == "Seattle". Lambda Expressions basically offer and in-line delegate method. In the case of the
Count() method, you can pass it an expression that will take one parameter (in this case
a) of type
CustomerAddress (
CustomerAddresses is an
IEnumerable<CustomerAddress>) and return a boolean value to indicate whether this element in the collection should be counted. Because intellisense knows the type of
a from the definition of the class, it gives you full support. Exactly how a.Address works, we will see later, suffice to say there is no
Address field in the
CustomerAdress table, but there is a relationship from
CustomerAddress to
Address defined in the database schema.
Second we have the
select new {} piece of code, you will note this uses a similar constructor to what I used above when creating my
AddressType object, in this case we are actually creating an in-line type definition. Our type will have two properties, that we use in the
foreach loop below, and comes with full intellisense support!!
This is where the
var keyword really comes into play, because we are defining an Anonymous Type, we do not actually have a type we can provide up-front when declaring our object, but the compiler can use the expression to determine the type and provide us with intellisense and type checking.
Another point worth noting is that the LINQ syntax is just a wrapper for the underlying IEnumerable/IQueryable methods and that statements can be written using either.
var query = db.Customers.Where(c => c.CustomerAddresses.Count(a => a.Address.City == "Seattle") > 0).Select(c => new { AccountNumber = c.AccountNumber, SaleValue = c.SalesOrderHeaders.Sum(o => o.SubTotal) });
Last of all, lets see the output generated. I hope you will agree they have done a fantastic job converting a rather obtuse query like the one above into solid SQL.
SELECT [t0].[AccountNumber], (
SELECT SUM([t3].[SubTotal])
FROM [Sales].[SalesOrderHeader] AS [t3]
WHERE [t3].[CustomerID] = [t0].[CustomerID]
) AS [SaleValue]
FROM [Sales].[Customer] AS [t0]
FROM [Sales].[CustomerAddress] AS [t1]
INNER JOIN [Person].[Address] AS [t2] ON [t2].[AddressID] = [t1].[AddressID]
WHERE ([t2].[City] = @p0) AND ([t1].[CustomerID] = [t0].[CustomerID])
)) > @p1
-- @p0: Input NVarChar (Size = 7; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [Seattle]
-- @p1: Input Int (Size = 0; Prec = 0; Scale = 0) [0]
That will cover us for this article. Next I am going to take a step back from the code and talk a little about the mind set you should be using with LINQ-to-SQL and hopefully help you understand just why I am so excited by it.

For most people having blood taken is not a problem, just a minor inconvenience. Others feel anxious and need some strategies to help them cope. As common and as quick as it is, giving a blood sample is the procedure that causes greatest apprehension.
For a few people the physical condition of their veins makes the procedure hard. This might be because their veins are sore from intravenous (IV) therapy, scarred from frequent venipunctures, or just hard to find and use for blood collection.

Hi - I don't know if this is in the correct forum but here goes. I have just installed the full ZA Suite. Everything went well but I am confused by the handling of Junk and Spam in Outlook 2003. I have a Junk E-mail folder and a ZoneAlarm Junk folder. Nothing ever goes to the ZA folder only the Junk E-mail folder. Lots of spam doesn't get picked up at all although it is clearly spam. When I press junk it does nothing and as they always change their junk email addresses this seems like a waste of time. I expect if I press Junk it should automatically be moved to the Junk folder. It does nothing. I can block an email but what is the point when they keep changing the sending address? What does the block company do? Does it block the domain address and if so why not. I have gone through the help but I can't find an answer to this. Anybody able to give me an understanding of this? The best way I can see is that any junk or spam rated emails go direct to the Junk folder. Any email I say is junk should also go automatically to the junk folder. I can then look at and delete all of them at once.

I didn't sleep well last night. I was mad at Mitt Romney.
Over and over, as I tossed and turned as much, I was yelling at Mitt Romney, like I was at the TV last night during the debate–"HIT HIM!" "YOUR POLICIES HAVE ALLOWED 30,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN SYRIA TO DIE! BOATS UNDERWATER ARE CALLED SUBMARINES! IT'S NOT ABOUT A STUPID VIDEO! FAST AND FURIOUS! YOU SHOOK HANDS WITH GADDAFI! IRAN IS ABOUT TO HAVE A BOMB! RUSSIA IS BLOCKING ACTION IN SYRIA AND YOU'RE IN BED WITH PUTIN!"
And I got up this morning to see that reporters in the UK say Romney won, even though CNN had their flash poll showing Obama the winner with 47 percent plus one.
A FOX commentator said he emailed the campaign in mid-debate to ask what was up with the tacit strategy. Gov. Romney had made the decision to choose this path. The UK paper said Romney appeared presidential. Tough. That Obama appeared badgering. Angry. He looked like the challenger, not the president.
I don't know about that. I guess we'll see with the passage of time, but what I've been most worried about the past week or so about the movement of Romney in the polls is the danger of him peeking too soon. If anyone's opinion was swayed because of last night's debate, we likely will be able to point to last night's debate as the start of that.

In chatting with the Nosler team recently, I was reminded yet again why this old-school family-owned business continues to survive — and thrive. It's a combination of customer service, hands-on workmanship, consistent and predictable quality (the ammo you buy today will shoot as well as the ammo you bought last year or next week), and the fact it has Bob Nosler's name on it. I know Bob and he takes their responsibility very seriously, continuing to hire the best people they can find, and to demand, simply put, the highest level of craftsmanship possible on their guns and ammo.
I was intrigued by their new line of Match Grade handgun ammo, and they sent samples in 9mm, .40 and .45 ACP. This is not defensive ammo (although it would do if you needed it to!), but fully copper-jacketed, pure lead-cored "match" and hunting ammo for serious handgunners. The copper jackets wrap over the hollowpoint, helping to assure reliable feeding in semi-autos, and the pure lead core helps to assure expansion in game. But the heart of it is Nosler's ability to be very consistent in the creation of their ammo. Bullet lots are not mixed, and each loaded round is visually-inspected. Tune your competition gun to their new 185-gr. JHP .45 ACP and from then on, you can rely on the fact every box you buy for competition will deliver exactly the same performance — every time you pull the trigger.
I chronographed some of the .45 from a 5″ Les Baer 1911. Nosler says 980 fps on the box, but doesn't list barrel length. The six shots read 987, 992, 981, 993, 992 and 983 fps. If you have much experience chronographing ammo, you'll know loads in one box will often vary by as much as 50 fps, so this kind of consistency is excellent. Consistent velocity means consistent accuracy and reliability, so it looks like Nosler is delivering what it promises. Well done, Bob. For more info: (800) 285-3701, www.americanhandgunner.com/nosler

copy-paste in vim
hi all!
can i somehow copy and then paste text in vim?
tnx in adv!
You indeed can. Check out http://www.tech-recipes.com/unix_tips219.html , you have the whole operation explained there.
Use the "y" key. It means "Yank". Follow the command with a movement. For example, "y3j" will copy 4 lines. The current line and the three below it. You can also use something like, "y4w" to yank 4 words to the right, or ":.,/^$/y" to yank the rest of the paragraph. To paste use the "p" key.
You can also use the mouse in vim/gvim - there's some info here
You can also use v (visual mode) to hilight text, then use y or d (cut) and p.
Yeah (after gilead) mouse is way easier..., but worth knowing the other y/p options exist just in case you have to work on a real console.

About This Activity
Cost: C$550.00 plus registration fee & HST ($656.21)
BreakView provides workshops that create learning through dynamic discussion and hands-on experience.
The workshop's facilitators will lead you through a series of dynamic discussions and practice sessions. This proven format maximizes both the amount learned and the likelihood that you will successfully apply the course content.
All participants receive an 80 page workbook for easy reference. In addition, the format conveys the course information through group discussions, role play and several audio-visual segments.
The training session is divided into three parts, Awareness, Analysis and Action.
The Awareness and Analysis sections will create a strong understanding among participants of their unconscious insensitivity. Self-awareness is an important step towards developing culturally sensitive practice. No one enters the work force with a blank slate. We all have our own perspective, attitudes and biases, colored by life experiences and our membership in many different groups. Because our views affect our interaction with clients, it is important to bring them into conscious awareness. The goal of the introspective process is to aid participants in working with "others" outside their comfort zone.
The Action section provides participants with tools to communicate effectively in a supportive and sensitive manner in order to deliver the highest service possible.
The workshop closes with participants developing their own Personal Action Plan in order to solidify a commitment to culturally sensitive practice. An Action Plan is a list of tasks that you have to carry out to achieve an objective. It differs from a To Do List in that it focuses on the achievement of a single goal. Wherever and whenever you want to achieve something, draw up an action plan. This allows you to concentrate on the stages of that achievement, and monitor your progress towards it. The personal action plan will enable you to put theory into practice with concrete links incorporating specific aspects of the workshop into the planning process.
