Not banking on that, though.
It's hard for a man to look sexy in harem pants, but boy does Giles pull it off!
KUDOS to Peta & Gilles.... that was a unique dance, and it looked quite difficult! At one point, Gilles was spinning, the leaping, then spinning, then leaping, then spinning followed by another LEAP. I don't know how he didn't fall down!
Music was odd but it's an odd dance style.
Len loved it.
Paula pretended to be Bruno and fawned on them as well. Then Bruno a rave review, as did Carrie Ann.
Myself, I think Gilles was just extraordinary in a very physical and off-beat new dance. I would like to see this one again.
Gilles needs more confidence. We believe in you, Gilles! :)
39.5! You go GILLES!!!!!!!
Finally some well-deserved scores for some good dancing!
Leave it to Len, but . . .
Now, Len said he would NEVER give a jitterbug a 10..let's see if that holds up!

Hey, it's a movie based on a comic book movie. Where else you gonna go for a director but the field of commercials? And so Rogue Pictures has assigned Swedish commercial director Fredrik Bond to bring the serial killer serial killing character based on the Devil's Due comic books to life. The main character in "Hack/Slash" is a young woman name Cassie Hack, a serial killer of serial killers. But don't worry, she's one of the good guys. Despite being, you know, a serial killer. Hey, The Punisher's one too, why not a hot chick? You got something against hot chicks in skimpy wear?
Variety says Fredrik Bond has been attached to a number of horror projects, including a remake of the South Korean monster movie "The Host" and "The Hunger" for the Scott boys at their Scott Free shingle. Instead, Bond will make "Hack/Slash" his feature-film directorial debut, replacing original director Todd Lincoln, with production set to start sometime early 2010.
Bond will be working from a script by Justin Marks, aka the comic book guy you go to if David Goyer isn't available. Marks' previous writing credits include "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li" and a live-action take on "Voltron" that will probably never be made.
"Hack/Slash" the comic book was originally created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli. Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter, the same guys behind "Hitman" and the upcoming "Jonny Quest", will produce.

"Empowerment" can be a mind-numbing topic, but in The 3 Keys to Empowerment, Ken Blanchard and his coauthors use concrete examples, a Q&A format, case histories, and entertaining comments to keep the discussion lively. The authors show that empowerment is not about giving people power, it's about releasing the power they already have.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2001 Blanchard Family Trust (P)2013 Gildan Media LLC
"Each chapter, arranged in a question-and-answer format, gives advice and details on realizing all the steps and processes. Scattered among the tips are relevant case histories, skills, and reinforcement from other consultants. One example is a mentions the art of effective praising, including the expression of sincere appreciation. And the authors stress that sharing information, at the very beginning, doesn't mean explaining a future vision and mission. Smart psychology at work." (Booklist)
"Like assembly instructions for a house"
Wayyyyyyyy to much detail. This literally read like assembly instructions or a recipe book with 5,000 ingredients. It does not show, what this means to me, how do I change to become someone who knows how to empower others. It was literally a HR manual for empowering teams. I need practical information I can use personally to become someone who empowers others. The book was not relevant to me and my struggles with empowering others. This of course is a big disappointment as Ken doesn't normally do this kind of nonsense!

but if you didn't know the literature they wouldn't necessarily seem any stranger than the actual things people do (like anchoring their estimate of a car's value to their social security number)
Funny you should mention that. When I first had the idea for this post back in January or February, I specifically wanted to think up a fictional bias where the examples would be stranger than anchoring, and about as relevant to everyday life if true. I could not think of one. I finally ended up writing this at the last minute when I realized "fictional bias" was a pun and decided to write the post around that title.
What I'd really like to know, is whether anyone saw my tweets or facebook posts about trying to think up a nonexistent bias, and was still fooled by the post.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday said California faces a $15.4 billion budget deficit in the coming fiscal year, nearly double the previous estimate.
He warned the shortfall will grow to $21.3 billion if votes reject the five budget-related measures on the May 19 special election ballot.
The governor outlined the state's dire fiscal condition in a letter to legislative leaders, a week before voters go to the polls. He also said he would release his annual May budget revision on Thursday, after previously saying he would do so after the special election.
Schwarzenegger said in the letter that the state's economy has worsened significantly since February, when he and legislative leaders reached a compromise to close a then-$42 billion shortfall through June 2010.
"These changes in the state's economic and revenue pictures have caused a significant new budget problem to emerge," Schwarzenegger wrote.
He said it was imperative that lawmakers start working immediately to address the problem.
In March, California's nonpartisan legislative analyst projected an $8 billion deficit in the fiscal year starting July 1, but tax receipts have plunged as the recession drags on. California faces a decline in personal income for the first time since 1938.
Californians will vote May 19 on a package of budget-related measures that would create a state spending cap, extend a series of income, sales and vehicle tax increases, authorize borrowing from future lottery proceeds and transfer money from children's and mental health programs to the state's general fund.
Proposition 1C, which would allow the state to borrow against future lottery revenue, is the most important to the state's budget. Schwarzenegger and lawmakers expect to bring in $5 billion if voters approve it, authorizing the state to sell bonds based on the future value of the lottery.
Propositions 1D and 1E would bring in roughly $900 million in the coming fiscal year by redirecting money previously approved by voters for mental health and early childhood development programs.
Polls of likely voters have shown all five measures trailing.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, who helped craft the special election package and is campaigning for it, said voters need to know the size of the problem before they go to the polls.
"The election on Tuesday is very important, but it's also now beyond the election," he said. "This is the single worst drop in revenue in state history, and that's due to the international and national economic crisis."

RAYNHAM (CBS) – A man who recently failed to show up for his weekend jail stay has opened some eyes about the terms of his sentence.
Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian is praising corrections officers who worked through the weekend to carefully locate and apprehend Charles Jones, who didn't show up for his court-ordered weekend sentence.
Jones, who was convicted of driving with a suspended license, had been ordered to 60 weekends in jail. Yes, just the weekends.
WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Karen Twomey reports.
Koutoujian said he sees the weekend sentences are a safety issue for his men.
"This is always a security risk because this person is coming in and out of our facility," said Koutoujian.
He said he'd like the courts to be more careful in handing weekend sentences out.
"I think we're one of the only counties that still has a couple of courts that do this. I just checked with sheriffs across the state, and the sheriffs with whom I spoke didn't have any weekenders in their facilities," said Koutoujian.

SALT LAKE CITY — The head of Intermountain Healthcare has a simple message as he joins a keynote panel at the World Health Care Congress in Washington, D.C. Monday evening: Doing the right thing in medicine costs less and yields better results.
Dr. Charles W. Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of Intermountain and a still-practicing urologic surgeon, has been tapped to talk about how innovation and market forces can lead to cost-effective care.
Intermountain has become expert at using tools like decision-making prompts, digitized images that are readily available as providers see patients and "best practice" guidelines to eliminate waste, reduce both complications and cost and promote healing. The Utah-Idaho healthcare system gets so many requests for information on its tech-savvy approach that it hosted nearly 200 leaders from other systems around the country last week for a two-day conference on the topic.
Doing more, better, with less is a timely discussion, because healthcare reform and how to do it right have the industry buzzing with questions and suggestions. There's talk of being "accountable care organizations," but "no one's ever seen one," Sorenson told the Deseret News. The question is how to work together as physicians, hospitals, payers — either government or insurers — to make an efficient, cost-effective and healing healthcare environment.
Intermountain's been looking at those issues for a long time and creating different tools. Back in the 1970s, Dr. Homer Warner was using computers not only to store information but to assist in making decisions. Intermountain numbers among its on-staff experts leaders in innovation, data mining and more. Dr. Brent James, for example, is world-renowned as a leader in evidence-based medicine, Sorenson said.
Evidence-based medicine is best-practice medicine and Intermountain has gone so far as to create prompts to help clinicians and care staff remember what's needed for specific conditions. With asthma, for instance, use of a controller drug, whether the patient is symptomatic or not, leads to fewer attacks and complications. But it is harder to remember to stay on it when you have no symptoms, he acknowledged. That's when automation can help because if a prescription isn't being filled, it's not being used.
The field of medicine is full of best-practice examples, from antibiotics before certain surgeries to what drugs should be prescribed to a heart attack patient.
"Doing the right thing costs less. That's my message for the world congress," he said, adding health care focus belongs on what works. "Evidence-based systems with measureable outcomes work. Sometimes we need to face the fact that something is not as good as we thought."
It's medicine by the books that works and Sorenson is proud of what the organization has achieved. It takes rigorous assessment and accuracy, he said.
Electronic medical records make information available as needed to clinicians. If you can look and see not only that an x-ray was done recently but what it showed, for example, you're not going to order new ones. That avoids the time and money costs of duplication.
He also believes that patients, fully informed of their options, will make good choices. "They tend to choose things that they will be more happy with" and not necessarily just the most expensive options."1 comment on this story
Incentives matter, as well, he said. When insurance covers 100 percent of the more reasonable treatment — and he means reasonable in both cost and effectiveness terms — but the patient pays a bigger portion of other options, it helps drive good decisions. It's also important, he noted, not to pay doctors more for options that are not the best choice.
Observation and anecdotal evidence don't necessarily tell the true story, Sorenson said. When healthcare systems track clinical outcomes and the cost of caring for patients using objective tools, a true picture emerges.

With teens and young adults leaving Facebook in droves, it's up to social networks like We Heart It to pick up the slack.
The new image-centric app is gaining a ton of traction with this highly-coveted target demographic, breaking the 25 million user mark and pulling in over a million new users monthly.
CEO Ranah Edelin spoke with Cult of Mac on the phone, and attributes this incredible growth to one thing: We Heart It is a safe space.
"Social networks mimic what happens in the real world," he said. "There is a ton of bullying on them and they mimic popularity contests. Our users tell us they love We heart It because they can express themselves authentically without having to brag or worry about getting bullied."

Multiple traps.
1. the kind that an animal steps in and then cannot retract its foot;
2. the loop type that the deer walks into;
3. the spring type wherein the deer causes itself to be hung up.
4. the deadfall type.
You can also do baiting over a salt block or a salt lick. The salt lick is when you put the salt on the ground and the animal disturbs the soil to get at the salt.
Ok ASPCA types - read about the $9 million dollars you were ordered to pay the Fields organization this month (Ringling Bros. Circus). Say, google it just for kicks.
I would put out salt blocks on the stepmom's farm in Mississippi and here just to see what kinds of wildlife existed that people would not normally spot. Not hunting them.
I do not advocate anything illegal. My older brother had a Christmas tree farm in PA and had permission to shoot deer "out of season" and would have them donated to the local orphanage.
Like so many other things that we should know for after shtf, it is really too late at that point to develop tracking, hunting, shooting, trapping skills.
Still waiting on a response to this...
Cheap, functional, multi-purpose.
Ain't much more of a reason than that.
Amen reverend!
We are on the same page now. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst!!
Maybe, maybe not...the end result of a poorly placed shot is certainly not "end of topic".
Too much of a margin of error (even with a head shot) that leads to a wounded and lost animal.
Which is why the 22LR is an illegal cartridge to use for taking deer, atleast in Maine, not sure about the rest of the country.
Not saying it can't be done, of course.
Just a few friendly disagreements based on my experiences. I don't know but maybe the deer out west and down south are somehow different than Northern Whitetails?
Sensibly, reasonably because panic buying is in full force. Ammo is no longer brass--it's GOLD. It's beyond the point of asking why, but where (can I find some--if I don't have any or enough).
If you had the foresight to horde .223/5.56. 7.62x39, x51, etc OR their respective magazines--well, you are sitting pretty right about now. How about a few crates of ARs? Keep a handful and sell a bunch at insane prices. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
Over on rimfire central, this whole panic thing caught hundreds, if not thousands, of those guys off guard. 20,000 doesn't sound too bad when you can't find a box of 50 to feed your rimfire habit.
This PANIC has "fingers", too. It is reaching into other areas of gear and supplies that make little sense at this point, BUT AGAIN, that doesn't matter. If you need or want something, you better make arrangements to get it now or find yourself without. BTW, I just ordered another case of 5000 rounds of .22 lr this morning. If I don't use it all in my lifetime, maybe my kids will. It just might have trade value in the near future as well.
Combine my answer with the other posts in this thread and maybe you can piece together a good "reason". If not, any number of us may be willing to sell or barter a few .22 rounds if you find yourself lacking in the future.
Couldn't believe the ammo shelves at Cabela's yesterday. .22lr was nowhere to be found, nor primers, powder etc... Very disappointing day indeed. I hope the people that are in the panic buying also put forth the same effort to contact their legislators.
As one who has had to use a .22LR to eat, I assure you that a head shot will drop a deer in it's tracks.
Your reservations are unfounded.
I actually looked in WM today for .22 ammo.....nothing at all! First time I've actually looked.
Good friend of mine found a couple pounds or VARGET, and he got some stuff for himself, a couple hundred .40 bullets, .223 brass, and a couple thousand small rifle primers.
Look for the small shops.
Good luck.
Do you mind if I ask where? or at least how much it was? Do you get much of a discount on bulk with .22?
Sgammo had some 5,000 round cases of Eley Sport for $259 (firewall at work prevents me from double checking that price..sorry). They had CCI std velocity at $279?
The Eley sport isn't "actual" Eley but made under contract by the same company which makes Aguila.
I checked Gander Mountain and two Walmarts on the way home for S&G's....I found one Walmart had half a dozen boxes of Stingers. That's it.
You can find it. Ammoman recently had 5-600 cases of 7.62 Wolf HPs at $299. Yep, this is an extra $100 over what they were pre-Sandy Hook...but they had 500+ cases. I think they are gone now.
My Wal*Mart had a sign on the ammo case that said the warehouse was out of 9mm, .40S&W, .223 and .22LR.
Think about the impact of this statement.
Walmart is the highest volume seller of ammunition in the U.S by a long shot.
There is no "impending ban". There's a bunch of idiot politicians with a wish list and .22s arent even on it. Stop scaring the sheep.
The AHCA wasn't gonna fly either.'08.
I hope people put as much effort into writing their elected officials as they do posting in all of these threads.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Guitarist and television star Little Steven Van Zandt is planning a three-day garage rock festival, Billboard.com reported Friday.
In addition to co-starring in the HBO mob drama "The Sopranos," Van Zandt plays guitar for Bruce Springsteen's E Street band, hosts the syndicated "Little Steven Underground Radio Show" and promotes garage rock bands in his free time.
"It has taken a little longer than I would have liked, but we're trying to put together a circuit of clubs around the country that all of our bands can plug into and play," he said. "We would have 'Underground Garage' nights in each club ... where every week we would just put another two bands on the road."
Van Zandt said he will soon announce the details for a three-day garage rock festival, featuring about 70 bands.
The inaugural club date for the "Little Steven Underground Radio Show" tour, featuring the Romantics, the Chesterfield Kings, the Reigning Sound, the Fondas and Cobra Verde, will be Feb. 21 at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom with Van Zandt as master of ceremonies.

In a hand-written will, signed and witnessed by 2, does it also need a notary public to sign and seal?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Is a notary needed to witness will
First of all, that's a bad idea. As inexpensive as it is to do a will right, why risk fouling things up?
The answer is maybe yes or maybe no. A self-proving Georgia will needs a notary. A non-self proving will does not.
But again, don't risk it. Feel free to call us if you're near Atlanta and wish to make out a will. 404-768-3509.
Re: Is a notary needed to witness will
It is not technically required, but if you have a notarized affidavit of the testator and the witnesses, the will is self-proving. That way, the witnesses need not testify in probate court.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Funding crux leaves Listowel to put up with bone-shaker road
ONE of the busiest approach roads to Listowel is in a 'dreadful' state, but can expect little funding from on high as the NRA allocation for regional roads is now a fraction of what it once was.
North Kerry received €7 million from the National Roads Authority (NRA) for regional road works in 2004. This year, the whole region will receive just over €600,000.
The matter came before Listowel Town Council on Monday as Kerry County Council area engineer Mike Griffin outlined NRA spending for the area for the year. The town itself has received just €30,000 under the programme, for the construction of a roundabout and footpath improvements with the greater north Kerry area getting just €615,000.
Fianna Fáil councillor Jimmy Moloney pointed to the Abbeyfeale R555 approach to Listowel as being in dire need of funding. "It's in a dreadful state for an approach into town; it's really bad for traffic coming from the Limerick direction now," he said calling on the county council to address the matter.
Mr Griffin explained that the R555 had received significant funding in recent years, much of it going towards improvements in Duagh, which had to be prioritised at the outset of the R555 works as it was so bad. He said the decision to reduce the funding so drastically was taken in Dublin, despite the council outlining the need for it.
"I've nothing against the people of Duagh, but there's not much point funding a road that's as good as a runway and then you come into Listowel to be faced with that. The road there is a perfect disgrace... something is going to have to be done with it." Cllr Maria Gorman (Fianna Fáil) said.
"When we started the works, Duagh was in a worse condition than Woodford," Mr Griffin explained. "It was never a case of choosing the people of Duagh, nice and all as they are, over the people of Listowel, but it was so rough there that people were getting scared whenever artic trucks came through the village."
As an example of how bad it was when trucks passed through Duagh, Mr Griffin explained: "One man's door used to open!"

The 67-year-old, who is wanted for questioning in Belize over the murder of his neighbour, had spent a week in a cell after arriving in Guatemala illegally.
A short time after the jet carrying Mr McAfee landed in Miami, a posting on his website announced he was at a hotel in the city's upscale South Beach area.
"I have no phone, no money, no contact information," the post says. Earlier, as he prepared to board the plane in Guatemala he told reporters he felt "10 years older".
British-born Mr McAfee, who travelled home in economy class, frequently blogged and spoke to reporters as he spent nearly a month in hiding.
Reached by telephone at his hotel, Mr McAfee told an Associated Press reporter that he was unable to talk because he was waiting for a call from his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend, who did not travel with him.
The former tycoon has been described as a "person of interest" by the Belizean authorities following the killing of Gregory Faull.
Mr McAfee and Mr Faull are understood to have had several arguments over the behaviour of Mr McAfee's dogs.
Mr McAfee acknowledges his pets were unruly, but denies any involvement in the fatal shooting of Mr Faull.
He has previously told Sky News he went on the run for his own "safety" because the authorities wanted to silence him.
After three weeks in hiding, he crossed into Guatemala with his girlfriend Samantha Vanegas to evade the Belizean authorities. He was arrested on December 5 for illegal entry.
Mr McAfee sold his stake in the anti-virus software company that is named after him and moved to Ambergris Caye in Belize three years ago.
He told The New York Times in 2009 he had lost all but $4m (£2.5m) of his $100m (£62.4m) fortune in the US financial crisis.
However, a story on the Gizmodo website quoted him as describing that claim as "not very accurate at all".
US officials have said there is no active arrest warrant for him in America.

JD Wetherspoon has cut its expansions plans after the smoking ban continued to eat into its sales.
The pub chain will open five fewer pubs than expected this year, after reporting this morning that overall like-for-like sales fell by 3.2% in the 11 weeks to January 11. Sales of lager and spirits were particularly poor, with strong food sales providing some compensation for a drop in drink revenue.
Wetherspoon said it now expected to open a total of 25 pubs in this financial year, down from 30 pubs previously.
Analysts has been warning for months that the ban on smoking in public places, introduced in England on July 1 2007, could send customers scurrying away from Wetherspoon's bars, which offer low-price beer and food.
Keith Bowman of Hargreaves Lansdown said today that the pub sector was also suffering from rising food prices, at a time when consumers are reining in their spending. The smoking ban has also forced all the pub chains to concentrate on food sales.
In today's statement, chief executive John Hutson said the company was still cautious about the current financial year.
Hutson insisted he was still confident of growing food and drink sales in a non-smoking environment in the "medium and long term".
Shares in the company fell by over 6% in early trading in the general market turmoil, but by 11am had recovered to rise 2.5p to 295p, up 0.85% on the day.

Why am I writing this?This article has been inspired by reading the thread posted by sunny buns and a trip report by Kris Solem. What I will say is, I have met dozens and dozens of really friendly and interesting people in all parts of the world I have been to. (Us Euros tend to be well travelled!) The nice guys definitely outweigh the bad guys.
Original Forum Thread
Sierra WHERE? An overview.In March 1992, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks in Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa that most people had never heard of at that time.
It's situated a couple of countries South of the Gambia, just before the big Western bulge of Africa starts to level out toward Ghana, and is between 5 and 9 degrees North of the equator. Then, it had a population of around 5 million, in a country about the size of Scotland. Amongst the many indigenous languages, some people speak English or Krio, a sort of Pidgin English. As a nation, it started to exist around the late 1780s when freed slaves from America and the UK bolstered the local population, and it became a Crown Colony on 1st January 1808. It was granted independence from Britain on 26th April 1961.
I don't know what I said or did, but six weeks after I left, there was a fairly popular revolution, which overthrew the Government of Major General Momoh, who had been the stable but corrupt leader of the party that had ruled for around 30 years!
Changing of the GuardMy parents were living there during the revolution and were able to tell me of the benefits Captain Valentine Strasse had brought with him to power. He was the youngest leader of any nation in the world at that time, and the country was swept with a wave of hope and optimism. I had the chance of going back 6 months later and well, who wouldn't?
Upon arriving, it was evident that things had changed. Everywhere you looked, there was the new party's flag or a slogan. Work parties were clearing weeds from ditches and rusty wrecks were removed. Of course, what were most in evidence were soldiers.
Think of the Changing of the Guard or a Sandhurst parade(Insert West Point if you speak American). Well these soldiers were nothing like that. Some had uniforms, others had part uniforms and some had a pair of ragged shorts and T-shirt. A multitude of weapons would be carried between them, with differing degrees of familiarity. It ranged from machine guns and rifles, to a pistol thrust into the waistband of their trousers or a machete swung nonchalantly in the breeze. Checkpoints were located at strategic points, supplemented by roving patrols.
All in all, the troops appeared to be acting properly and didn't much bother westerners. The overnight curfew had been relaxed and you could now go out after dark without being shot dead!
My parents lived in a gated compound, shared with a number of diplomats and their staff. On Fridays, we would start with drinks at someone's house; Saturday would be the golf club and Sunday the beach. Arrangements were made well in advance, as there was no mobile phone coverage and little reliable landline availability.
Friday evening came and we realised that we wouldn't be able to go out that evening, as my kids were unwell. Rather than be able to ring up and offer apologies, I thought I would drive across town and let people know we wouldn't be there for the evening.
I borrowed my mother's Daihatsu Sport track, and set off across town. It was already loaded up with tomorrow's golf clubs, but as I was driving from one secure compound to another, that was no problem.
As I drove through the dark, up Spur Road toward Hastings, I saw a group of soldiers disgorging from some ramshackle vehicles at the side of the road. I paid this no attention, as military activity was so common.
I duly arrived, stopped for one Star beer and delivered my message. I waved a cheery goodbye to all and set off back down Spur Road toward home. By the time I got to the soldiers, there was now a small queue of vehicles at a checkpoint. A chain was across the road at windscreen height and white painted logs across the road, studded with metal bars to rip out the tyres and sumps of those who wouldn't stop.
Again, I wasn't overly concerned as such stuff was fairly commonplace. As I sat in the queue with the engine off, a young boy walked down the side of the waiting vehicles, looking inside at the occupants and contents. He was a 'part uniform' soldier and had a pistol thrust into the waistband of his ragged trousers. Upon reaching me, he became quite agitated and drew his gun. He didn't point it at me but began to shout either in Krio or such heavily accented English that I didn't have a clue what he was saying. It seemed that I was supposed to get out of the vehicle. I got out and stood there quite bemused, when I noticed that another soldier had now levelled a rocket propelled grenade at my chest. I can distinctly remember thinking, "If he pulls that trigger, we'll all be blown up."
Before I realised I should now fear for my mortal safety, a far more assured soldier sauntered up. He was the 'full uniform' type and carried an assault weapon. The boy soldier was shouting excitedly. Promotion for him no doubt, when I was found to be a mercenary or spy.
The professional soldier peered into the back of the jeep at the sophisticated weaponry I was carrying, turned to the boy with a clip of the ear type motion and said "Golf clubs. Golf clubs!"
Nothing more was said to me, but the assembled men turned and carried on down the line of cars behind me. I got back into the vehicle and when it was my turn, drove on down the hill and back home. I told my story and it was only in the telling that I realised I could have been arrested or shot! Star beer never tasted as good as the several I had later that night!

A few years later, the other side of the continent.A few years later, a friend Gary and I tried to climb Mount Kenya. Batian is the highest peak in the massif at 5,200 metres, and has a 26 pitch rock route (North Face Standard Route or Normal route) up it's North Face.
The North Face Standard Route, Mount Kenya
The trip didn't go as well as planned, and we didn't manage to summit, spending about 17 hours in a snow storm about half way up the face. We tried a big ice route up the south face, and failed that as well.
The weather had been so rainy that at the start of the trip I had bought a large but cheap and colourful umbrella.
It started well....Finally we retreated to a little dusty town below the mountain to fill up on roasted goat and White Cap beer. A day or so later, we were going stir crazy and decided to head for Nairobi for the last few days before our flight back to the UK. By now, we were quite accustomed to travel in this part of the world, and we thought nothing of using the local afternoon bus that would get us to Nairobi early evening. We stuck out like sore thumbs on the bus, with our pasty pale faces and western clothes, but that was no problem, just mildly interesting for the locals.
As we neared the bus terminal, we agreed on a security plan. We each had a big rucksack full of climbing gear, and a smaller day sack with personal gear. As we arrived, we would stay out of the crowds, drop all our kit into a pile and one of us would remain with it whilst the other grabbed a taxi to whisk us off to a budget hostel further into the city.
Bus station sprint!As we arrived, the bus pulled into a football field sized area. All the buses stacked along one side, front end in, where a waist high barrier seperated the passenger area from the road area. Cleverly, we piled our gear on the road side of the barrier, and stood either side of it. As we scanned for a taxi, I leisurely leaned back against the barrier and stretched my arms out either side of me, so that my hands rested on the top. No sooner had I put my hand against the metal than 'WHOOSH' my watch was torn from my left wrist. As I spun around, I saw my assailant dart off to my right with my watch. The item didn't have any special sentimental value, it hadn't been a present from a dear departed elderly relative, or a special gift. In fact although it was quite a nice diver's watch, it still only cost about £50. But it was my watch. Mine.
I immediately leapt the barrier and gave chase, umbrella in hand like a short lance! What my attacker couldn't have known was I had just spent 3 weeks walking and climbing at high altitude with a rucksack on my back. In 1994, I was a street cop and used to chasing down bad guys. (Where I live, few of us have guns, you need to get hands on with our desperadoes!).
He was only a few feet ahead of me, but running fast. He ran alongside a bus shelter full of people and did a quick 'U' turn around it, so that he was heading back the other way. I pushed through the crowd and gained a few yards on him. By this time I think he was getting desperate. He was starting to barge through people and looking back at me more and more often. Loud shouts were going up behind me.
He ran out into the road area, and as he tried to dart left between two parked buses, he momentarily slowed enough for me to catch him. I used our momentum to slam him into the side of the parked bus, and as he bounced off, I swung him around so that he fell to the ground.
I leaned over him with the umbrella like a club in my hand as he lay wide eyed on his back. "Give me my watch!" I shouted. He wildly shook his head and replied in thickly accented English that he didn't have it. I raised my umbrella screaming "Give it to me!" and he unfolded his right hand that was clamped over my watch, all in one piece, except the pin on one side of the strap. I snatched it from him and stood up.
Three things were very evident. My umbrella was now shaped like a scimitar and unlikely to work again; a very large crowd had gathered around us and I was very much a minority group in that part of town; I had recovered my £50 watch but left a few £Ks worth of gear with my mate who may or may not be okay!
I stood up straight, threw the umbrella haughtily to the ground and walked through the parting crowd leaving my tormentor lying there. I got to where Gary should have been and for a split second froze when he wasn't there and neither was our gear. A loud shout from a few yards away and I turned to see him shoving the stuff rapidly into the back of a battered old taxi. Quickly I joined him and we sped (crawled, belching fumes) away to safety.
It was only on reflection that I realised the risks I had taken to recover my watch!

Oscar Nominations Deadline Pushed To January 4
Thanks to those reported online voting snafus (surprising, considering no kind of voting process has ever hit any kind of snags along the way) the Academy is extending the nominations deadline from Thursday, January 3 at 5 PM PT to Friday, January 4 at 5 PM PT. There will, however, be a two-hour period on Thursday (from 5 PM to 7 PM PT) in which online voting will not be available. This marked the first year that the Academy has given its members the opportunity to vote online, though paper ballots are still available. According to The Hollywood Reporter, some of the issues were members not being able to access the Academy's voting website with a special password they were given.

I loved my floor, but i needed more variety and a challenge. (have since worked at 16 different hospitals in the last 5 years, plus a few psych units).

I just got my first RN job at a local hospital (44 bed, tiny!) and I'm afraid I'll face the same feelings after awhile, but i have to be an RN for a year before I can take on the challenge of doing per diem agency work.

Ever thought of doing something like that?

text: I'm on a Windows box and I'm looking for a way to talk to a serial port (for example, RS-232) from Haskell. I couldn't find a library to do this, so I am wondering how to create one. I have a fairly thorough understanding of how to open and use a serial port with the Windows API. In particular, to open a serial port, I have to use CreateFile, which is the same API call that opens files. In fact, if I call openFile from GHC, and pass "COM1:" as the filename, then I can get a writable serial port. > module Serial > where > import System.IO > > main = do > h <- openFile "COM1:" ReadWriteMode > hPutStrLn h "Hello World" I can't read from the port (I always get an immediate EOF), and I have no way of configuring things like the baud rate or the parity settings. Nevertheless, this demonstrates that openFile can at least open the serial port. What I would like to do is create some functions that would allow me to open and configure a serial port, and get a Handle back so that I can use the existing IO functions like hGetChar and hPutChar. I am assuming that hGetChar eventually calls win32::ReadFile and hPutChar eventually calls win32::WriteFile. These same two API calls would work for serial ports. In Windows, there are 23 API functions that apply specifically to serial ports. Out of these 23 functions, only a few of them are actually necessary if I just want to send and receive data. Of course, I don't know how to call Windows API functions from Haskell, and I have no idea how to hook things to the IO library so that I can use a Handle for a serial port. I'm looking for some advice on how to proceed. -- Ron

|Mais informações
With the delectable wit, unforgettable characters, and challenging themes that have won her a Pulitzer Prize and national bestseller status, Jane Smiley finds a kindred spirit in the author of classics such as Great expectations and A Christmas carol. As "his novels shaped his life as much as his life shaped his novels," Smiley's Charles Dickens is at once a sensitive profile of the great master and a fascinating meditation on the writing life. Smiley evokes Dickens as he might have seemed to his contemporaries: convivial, astute, boundlessly energetic-and lionized. As she makes clear, Dickens not only led the action-packed life of a prolific writer, editor, and family man but, balancing the artistic and the commercial in his work, he also consciously sustained his status as one of the first modern "celebrities." Charles Dickens offers brilliant interpretations of almost all the major works, an exploration of his narrative techniques and his innovative voice and themes, and a reflection on how his richly varied lower-class cameos sprang from an experience and passion more personal than his public knew. Jane Smiley touches, too, on controversial details that include Dickens's obsession with money and squabbles with publishers, his unhappy marriage, and the rumors of an affair. Here is a fresh look at the dazzling personality of a verbal magician and the fascinating times behind the classics we read in school and continue to enjoy today.

Robin Williams was a genius and not just with comedy.
He could portray everyone from Teddy Roosevelt, to a dad dressed as a woman, to a renegade English teacher to a super-hyped disc jockey to serving as a voice of a genie.
He was one of the most hilarious people I have ever witnessed. So spontaneously funny. Interviewers usually asked him one question and got out of the way. Script writers left large gaps in scripts to allow Robin to get on a roll. His comedy knew no demographic limitations.
When he took something and ran with it, your insides ached with laughter.
That clownish demeanor masked demons that he kept reined most of his career.
Here's what Robin Williams' life and death teaches us: Mental illness, particularly depression, is a stealth psychological cancer and celebritydom, status, talent and brilliance are not immune from its tentacles.
Several folks we see smiling or laughing are hurting inside. Even in a group, they feel alone in that mental prison in which it is so difficult, almost impossible to escape. You don't "just get over" clinical depression. It's not just a bad day or a bad week.
I'm not sure you really cure that kind of depression any more than you cure alcoholism. You combat it, every day and every week. You combat it with grace, compassion, community and understanding — at least as much as we can ever understand how the individual mind works.
It's nothing new. I'm convinced several Biblical heroes also suffered some form of depression, most notably King David, Peter and Paul. In fact, the number of people in the Bible who didn't suffer from depression would form a short list.
Every disease needs a face. And maybe the life and the humor of Robin Williams, who brought so many smiles to so many, is the face our society needs of that destructive disease our society needs — as depression and mental illness has sudden surfaced in so many in our families, our friends and our celebrities.
Maybe the life of Robin Williams will lead to greater cooperation, understanding and pro-active grace among individuals, organizations, religious groups and institutiions and businesses to join in the combat, which requires more than taking two pills and feeling better in the morning.
Here's what Robin Willliams taught us: "Carpe Diem (Seize the Day) — and make a lot of people laugh in the process.

Lophius Biosciences Secures EUR 2,0 Million Financing and Announces Leadership Changes
|| Print |
|Thursday, 08 May 2014 09:30 (UTC + 2)
Regensburg, Germany, May 8, 2014 / B3C newswire / – Lophius Biosciences GmbH, a privately held biotech company focusing on the development and marketing of innovative T cell based research tools and diagnostic systems for functional assessment of disease-reactive T cells, today announced that the company has secured a EUR 2,0 Million financing round. This financing was led by one of the current main investors, VRD GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany with participation of two of the existing investors one of which S-Refit AG, Regensburg. The current investment will support the continuation into a commercial operation to further advance the clinical studies of Lophius' flagship product T-Track® CMV for the various clinical indications and to enable the further development of the pipeline products T-Track® TB (Tuberculosis) as well as T-Track® MS (Multiple Sclerosis).
With the secured financing, Dr. Robert Phelps, previously Lophius' Director Business Operations, has been appointed as new Chief Executive Officer and the current CEO, Prof. Dr. Ralf Wagner, has been elected as Chairman of the Board, replacing Mr. Bertram Gilka-Bötzow, now one of the board's Vice Presidents. Prof. Wagner and Dr. Phelps will work closely together to further drive the conversion of a previously research and development focused company into a commercial organization.
"The current round of financing and management change are supporting a long-term strategy to capitalize on the company's future growth opportunities and goals and its transition into a commercial operation" said Prof. Dr. Wagner. "I am excited to take on this new challenge and to work with Ralf and a team of highly skilled specialists and researchers. I look forward to increasing our market presence and continuing to aggressively pursue additional pathways for market expansion of our T-Track® products," added Dr. Phelps.
Prof. Dr. Wagner, now elected to become Lophius' Chairman of the Board, joined Lophius Biosciences in January 2013 as CEO. During his leadership, he instrumentally contributed to the further development of all parts of the company – from human resources to quality management, from research activities up to the implementation of new entities such as manufacturing, clinical trial coordination or sales. "With his professional working attitude, his excellent management skills and his profound scientific and economic background, Ralf has tremendously contributed towards advancing Lophius to a highly innovative and at the same time commercially oriented organization. We'll hear more about most recent progress made under his leadership in the weeks to come. We are very happy that Prof. Dr. Wagner will continue to support Lophius in his new role as Chairman of the Board", said Mr. Gilka-Bötzow.
Dr. Robert Phelps joined Lophius Biosciences in October 2013 as Director Business Operations and previously spent 14 years in various business development, licensing, and marketing and sales roles in the biotech and pharma industry.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Wagner joined Lophius in January 2013 as CEO. Prior of that, he served almost 13 years as CEO of GeneArt AG, a German biotech company founded Nov 1999 as spin-off from the University of Regensburg, that went public in 2006 and was acquired by Life Technologies in 2010. Besides to his roles in the biotech industry, he is Professor for Medical Microbiology and faculty member at the University of Regensburg.

ParanoidAndroid is an ICS ROM, based on CM9, that allows users to enjoy tablet or phone UI, or hybrid.
Most apps have several different UI's for various layouts, choose which interface you prefer.
- FULLY compiled from source. (See post #2 for build instructions)
- Current with tenderloin CM9 repo w/ all functions
- 100% easy install; just wipe cache and dalvik.
- HW acceleration
I'm just a furniture mover... anything you like or appreciate in this ROM is 100% the work of the CM and PA teams. We owe a great deal of praise and thanks to those spirited, dedicated developers and contributors who keep our TP alive and well, especially jcsullins, OaT, SGA, _Dorregaray_, & BIGSimon.
Once CM10 for tenderloin is stable, I will try to compile the latest PA version for the TP.
From one of the PA creators, molesarecoming...
- ParanoidAndroid 1.6a for Tenderloin Google Docs Direct Link
- You will need to install a unique gapps package, as Google blocks market access with non-standard DPIs. (Fixed GAPPS) gapps fixed direct link
User Notes/Bugs
- If you don't see navigation buttons in the navbar, go to Settings->System->Navigation Bar->Softkeys and click the checkbox
- In the settings, you will see a new pane for Paranoid Settings. Here you can adjust the default GUI and DPI for all system or user apps, or even each app individually ( I suggest a default dpi of 155, it matches perfectly with the 9.7" screen)
- Long press of power button does NOT bring up a reboot menu, it just reboots. I suggest downloading Quick Reboot to get the same functions.
- When you open an application, you'll see three dots appear in the Recent button in the navbar. Short press produces the recent apps list, long press gives you the application's option menu.
- Processor OC settings don't persist. It always defaults to 1188 max,, 384 min. (this is funky, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't)

Sheepshead are an inshore species and are commonly found around oyster bars, seawalls and in tidal creeks. They move nearshore during late winter and early spring for spawning.
Sheepshead are fractional spawners (they only lay a portion of their eggs at a time) in inshore waters, typically in March and April. They are omnivorous feeding mostly on crustaceans and small fish.
State Record: 15 lb 2 oz, caught near Homosassa
Fishing Tips and Facts: Use live shrimp, sand fleas or fiddler crabs on a small hook fished on the bottom. When cleaning, beware of the sharp gill covers.
Sheepshead are an important commercial species.

WASHINGTON — Congressional backlash over a leaked Department of Interior memo that detailed plans for the possible creation of 14 new national monuments — including two in Utah — continues to fester and was the focal point of a Tuesday congressional hearing.
Six bills that propose to exempt specific states from such presidential declarations — or severely curtail that power by the executive branch — were aired in the meeting chaired by Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah.
His proposal, the Utah Land Sovereignty Act, seeks to exempt Utah from the 1906 Antiquities Act that gives U.S. presidents the ability to create new monuments through public proclamation.
Bishop says such power rightfully rests with U.S. Congress and was never envisioned to extend such broad and sweeping discretion to presidents, such as the 1996 designation by President Bill Clinton that created the vast Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Other measures such as one proposed by Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, would exempt that state.
Bishop said since its inception, the Antiquities Act has been used to create 128 monuments.
"The Antiquities Act has been abused by presidents of both parties, but it is in the West where the timing and large scope of many designations have resulted in unnecessary hardship to local communities dependent upon access and use of the land and resources," Bishop said.
At the very least, Bishop said Utah deserves the same consideration that Wyoming has when it was specifically exempted by the Antiquities Act in a compromise that grew out of the creation of the Jackson Hole National Monument and subsequent designation of the Grand Teton National Park.
The compromise includes the requirement that congressional consent be obtained for any future national monument creation or expansion. Alaska, too, has such consideration if the designation involves more than 5,000 acres.
The half dozen pieces of legislation heard in the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands are in response the continuing controversy over an Interior memo publicly leaked in February 2010 that showed the Obama administration had identified 14 possible places for new monument designations.
Two of them — the San Rafael Swell and Cedar Mesa — are in Utah.
Bishop said designations made by the executive branch fly in the face of the democratic process and said such considerations should be weighed in the open with congressional debate, not behind closed doors.7 comments on this story
"There should be local approval, with local understanding and local commitment," he said. "Land use designations such as national monuments and wilderness should be initiated at the local level, not out of pressure from Washington and definitely not unilaterally."
Bishop concedes that it will take time build momentum and public awareness over the importance of the legislation, and any congressional passage of such a bill risks a presidential veto.
Asked if a U.S. president would refrain from vetoing a public lands bill that severely curtails or eliminates that much executive branch discretion, Bishop was blunt.
"If he or she believes in the U.S. constitution, he or she would."

US prison authorities punishing inmates on historic hunger strike
The numbers of inmates in California taking part in a 'rolling hunger strike' over abominable and inhumane prison conditions has fallen dramatically. On the 29th of September, advocates for the prisoners said that there were around 12 000 people across US prisons involved in a strike that started in California and that has been declared the biggest in recent US history.
Since then however, inmates' participation in the protest has plunged significantly so that, by Tuesday last week, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) reported that there were only 1, 186 inmates in four prisons receiving medical treatment or monitoring related to the protest. By Thursday, CDCR issued a press release to say that figure had fallen to 811.
This substantial drop in numbers can be largely attributed to the tactics that CDCR have used to punish and dissuade striking prisoners. Indeed, according to Jay Donahue, a spokesman for the group Prisoner Strike Solidarity, the decline is a direct result of the heavy-handed disciplinary crackdown that has accompanied the peaceful protest. The lawyers and families of striking inmates have reported that, because of their involvement in the protest, prisoners have been denied contact with visitors, have had legal mail opened and have been put into solitary confinement.
An inmate from Corcoran Prison explained in a letter last month that inmates on the hunger strike have been refused access to the outside yard cages and have had personal items in their cells like photographs, books and TV cables confiscated and destroyed. These and other abuses, explains the anonymous prisoner, express that there is a 'very obvious and clear, and deliberate effort being made to try and provoke us to react violently.'
Instead of negotiating with the thousands of prisoners who have complained that they are the victims of state-sanctioned torture in state prisons, CDCR seems to be favouring an aggressive position that is based on punishment and deprivation. Dolores Canales, who has a son at the Pelican Bay SHU said in a press release that 'A number of family members received notice that they were not going to be allowed to see their loved ones as long as the strike continues. Denying visits only heightens the isolation that the prisoners and family members experience'
The on-going California hunger strike (which has its roots in a similar protest that took place this July) started at the notorious Californian Pelican Bay Penitentiary Secure Housing Unit and spread across the Californian prison system to include 13 out of its 33 prisons. Inmates at these prisons describe their living conditions as 'cruel, inhumane and tortuous' and say that they want the strike to lead to an improvement in 'the treatment of SHU-status prisoners throughout California'.
The prisoners on strike rightly insist that their basic living conditions are unlawful, degrading and promote violence. In June, The John Howard Association visited the maximum-security Menard Prison in Illinois, to do a report on the prison and its provisions for the well-being and security of its inmates. Their findings, published in July, expressed that dangerous overcrowding, lack of security, poor basic facilities and paltry access to mental health services contributed to a toxic atmosphere at the prison, and made inmates there feel desperate, unsafe and alienated. The John Howard Association found that the average prisoner at Menard spends 21 to 22 hours in a prison cell every day, with very little physical and mental activity or social interaction.
In June 2006, a US prison study by the bipartisan Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons, reported than on any given day, there are over 2 million people in prison in the US. Most of these prisoners are non-violent offenders who have been jailed for reasons related to drugs offences. The racial disparity that courses through the American penal system has had a hugely damaging impact on black communities. At the end of 2000, more than 46% of US prisoners were black males, even though black males make up only 13% of the overall US population.

Names Of Sioux City Murder Victims Released
Posted: 12 November, 2013
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have released the names of a man and woman slain inside a Sioux City house. Police identified the pair as 35-year-old Michael Delgado, of Sioux City, and 35-year-old Yolanda Valdez, of Orange City.
Police say another man shot at the home on Thursday, 33-year-old Luis Sanchez, of Sioux City, has undergone surgery and is expected to survive. Twenty-six-year-old Juan Nino-Estrada, of Sioux City, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. He was arrested early Friday at his girlfriend's house. He'd suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney. Police believe drugs were a factor in the shooting.

Anomalies in Security Returns and the Specification of the Market Model
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): Richard Roll, STEPHEN J. BROWN, CHRISTOPHER B. BARRY
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 807-815
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1984.tb03673.x
We examine the hypothesis originally advanced by Roll [12] that observed anomalies in excess returns can be explained by misspecification of the market model used to estimate systematic risk. We find substantial misspecifications in the model systematically related to size and period of listing of the securities in question. There is some evidence that these misspecifications are associated with systemic biases in measured betas used to construct excess returns.

Creepover: You Can't Come In Here! : Book 2 Paperback
by P. J. Night
Part of the Creepover series
Emily Hunter loves hanging out with her new neighbours.
From their decked-out chill-out room to their almost-professional guitar playing, Drew and Vicky Strig are super cool.
The only bummer is that Drew and Vicky are homeschooled and Emily's other friends haven't got to know them yet.
So Emily comes up with a plan for everyone to meet - a big party and sleepover at her house!
But as Emily gets ready for the party, she begins to wonder about Drew and Vicky.
They won't let Emily into certain rooms in their house. And a wolf howls on their lawn every night. Is it only Emily's overactive imagination or are the new neighbours more than just a little strange?
