Love this one Marian!
Not really a fetish Mariolyn, it all started when I took photos of the posh hotel carpets in Banff and accidentally had my left foot in the photo, so I decided to post it as is....and then it just got funny and gave us lots of laughter. They do say laughter is the best medicine...so glad you enjoy it too.
This foot fetish is lots of fun for us.
How did you know Jim that there was yet another footstep this size ahead? - I'm not kidding, we have two of these in our back yard. LOLHi Janet - I'll be careful Janet. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get some worthwhile rain because I know you really need it.
Yes take care Marian, he may be lurking about! Another fun one, thanks and hugs, Janet.It's raining, so we hope it will be better than the last lot. ♥
Be careful, Marian! Sasquatch may still be in his footprints up ahead! LOL!
I'm glad you had fun with this one Lynn....
That's funny, Marian. I think they are still looking for Sasquatch in Washington state. lol

Comics: Some assembly required
by Dee. 2/17/2016Welcome all:
Today we'll be looking at two previews sent to me here, and they are both quite interesting. Enjoy!
Aether and Empire (Blue Juice Comics): This is a very proper sailing story, with the emphasis on airships more than naval ones. The formality of the crew's ranking enhances the historical feel of the comic, while the airship itself is fantastical. The level of detail in the technology and the overall art style reveals this as a military-focused Victorian tale, with some political machinations underlying the surface. The colors are more realistically muted, with many grays, brass and wood tones.
The first issue gives only a small corner of the larger story which has to do with a missing scientific expedition to Mars, and the potential rescue by Her Majesty's Navy. This story is much larger than it initially seems.
Starts April 13.
Another Castle (Oni Press): This is not the Mario Brothers knockoff comic that you are looking for. In fact, this story is about a princess that isn't satisfied with being royalty; she wants to fight for her kingdom. There is an evil ruler in the neighboring kingdom, and naturally he wants our heroine Artemisia (or Misty for short) as his bride. The magic sword she wields shouldn't fall into the immortal villain's hands (which could single-handedly decapitate and kill him), as then he would surely destroy everything. So when she's ambushed, she sends the sword to her kingdom and is taken to the villain's castle. As an interesting twist, she rips up her intended wedding dress, and converts it to combat effective escape gear. After learning more about her mother's fate, she vows to take down her adversary from within his own castle, rather than escaping.
This is a beautiful comic, with an "alternative Disney meets anime" look to it, by which I mean that it is a bit edgier than Disney ever was with its princesses. The story is interesting enough that I would pick up the second issue, as our heroine is a sympathetic character. The colors are well done, highly saturated and bright, with a magenta-pink undertone. The creative team behind this is Paulina Ganucheau (artist, Zodiac Starforce) and Andrew Wheeler, writer. Though this is Wheeler's first foray into comics, his journalism background gives the dialogue impact and focus without seeming forced or overly contrived.
Starts March 2.
That's all, folks!

maildirproc is a program that processes one or several existing mail boxes in the maildir format. It is primarily focused on mail sorting, which means moving, copying, forwarding, and deleting mail according to a set of rules. It can be seen as an alternative to procmail, but instead of being a delivery agent (which wants to be part of the delivery chain), maildirproc only processes mail which has already been delivered. That is a feature, not a bug.
A tool for securing DNS communications between a client and a DNS resolver.

Friday the 13th turned out to be a lucky day in New Orleans for two groups of young scientific types, one from Stanford and the other from Tulane.
The former was awarded $50,000 in seed money for a new way to treat kidney stones, while the latter won $20,000 for its Midas-like invention that promises to turn algae into crude oil.
Winner of the 2012 Tulane Business Plan Competition was Calcula, a startup created by a team of Californians that is patenting a way to use hydrodilation (infusing water into the renal system) as a non-surgical way to flush out kidney stones. And winner of the 2012 Domain Companies New Orleans Entrepreneur Challenge was ReactWell, a fledgling local company that plans to use geothermal energy to convert biomass (read: algae grown in ponds) into synthetic oil.
Both awards were announced Friday night at a Tulane Entrepreneurs Association gala at the Audubon Tea Room, after a day-long event at the A.B. Freeman School of Business where half a dozen contenders vied for the cash prizes the new-fashioned way: The Pitch.
Pitch contests have cropped up almost as fast as entrepreneurs in the local landscape. Named for the so-called "elevator pitch," which denotes a brief summary of a service or product that one could conceivably deliver in the course of an elevator ride, these pitch fests are professional, creative and fast-paced. Basically, the finalists pitch their products, and an audience or panel of judges names a winner virtually on the spot.
Last month, at the third New Orleans Entrepreneur Week , more than $300,000 was allocated to startups whose products range from herbal tea concentrates to online design tools for home solar panels.
If you haven't been to one, consider it; even for non-technical types like myself, the 30-minute power point-and-poise dramas unfold as compellingly as any Tennessee Williams one-act.
Perhaps the granddaddy of local pitch contests is the Tulane Business Plan Competition, now in its 12th year. In entrepreneurial circles, that's a ripe old age indeed. For more than a decade, the student-run competition has been giving a hefty chunk of change to students from around the globe who have come up with ideas for innovative new businesses and products.
At Freeman on Friday, the delivery and imaginative thinking of the six finalists proved fascinating. Big drop-down screens showed animated graphics explaining the size of kidney stones or the way iron is needed to create new red blood cells or how carbon particles can attract toxins in ground water. Sophisticated visuals demonstrated need, financials, start-up costs, budgets and the like with enough pie charts and infographics to fill a dozen Banksy graffiti facades.
Each finalist – three in the Business Plan Competition, which is open to students worldwide, and three in the Domain Companies Challenge, which is confined to local-impact companies – had 15 minutes to pitch and 15 minutes to answer questions. The judges keyed in on the business aspects of the pitches, but I found myself more intrigued by the entrepreneurial aspects of the competition.
All six finalists took out-of-the-box thinking into extreme-sport territory.
The young professionals so drawn to New Orleans, and others like them, are brainstorming very creative solutions to fundamental social and medical problems.
Thus, the Calcula team began with the fact that 85 percent of the 1.1 million kidney stone patients who go to the emergency room each year are not candidates for surgery, and tried to come up with a way to treat them with something other than pain killers. They realized that a hydrodilation catheter, which has been around for other uses for decades, might be able to gently enlarge the urethra to allow the stone to fall.
The two creators of SODI-CAN are reworking the jerrycan, a ubiquitous 20-liter container used in most of the developing world to carry water from source to home. By installing a solarized purifier in the can itself, they figure they can clean the water as it's carried – thus attacking the problem of the 1.1 billion people globally who have access only to contaminated water sources.
EpiQi Sciences, of Brigham young University, is using an FDA-approved drug currently being used for another disease to treat anemia of chronic inflammation (ACI), which affects 30 percent of the population.
New Orleans' own NanoFex is a new business dedicated to cleaning up contaminated ground, by injecting it with a biodegradable material made from Louisiana sugar cane and shrimp and crab shells, among other things, that washes out the toxins. It already has potential customers and a site-test planned by the end of this year.
ReactWell thinks it has an edge on new biofuels, because its algae-based oil can be funneled directly into the existing refinery system. A 10-acre farm, its founders hypothesize, might produce 67 barrels of synthetic crude oil a day.
Bideo (bid + video) is the world's first online auction exchange for newsworthy video and photos. Think eBay meets YouTube. If you capture something newsworthy on your camera phone, instead of giving it away to the news (or posting it on social media) you can upload it to Bideo, and then auction it to news outlets that will bid on the exclusive right to publish it.
The pulse running through all of this is creative idealism, if you will. The people pitching hard-core numbers for real businesses have imagined cutting-edge solutions to big issues. They aren't afraid to look at a problem like fuel shortages or contaminated ground, and brainstorm a way to fix it. And, then, make it work.
New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks wrote a piece last week about this generation's social entrepreneurs. "Their hip service ethos," he wrote, "is setting the moral tone for the age."
But then Brooks went on to say that today's young idealists aren't realistic – that is, cynical enough – about how power and politics work. They need a little film noir, he opined, a dose of Raymond Chandler and his inherent cynicism.
I disagree. Judging by the pitch contests I've attended, including the Tulane Business Plan Competition on Friday, I think today's social entrepreneurs know just how the world works, and what it takes to make things happen.
And, to their credit, it hasn't tempered either their "hip service ethos" or their "moral tone" at all.

My wife picked up a used Barbie Powerwheels jeep. The motors run on 12v, but I'm not sure how much current they draw. I did find one guy on the net that is using a Pololu driver that provides 14A continuous and 30A Max current.Anybody have any experience with these motors? I'd like to build my own driver - would like reccomendations for links to plans. I haven't even taken the motors off of the jeep yet, but Ive had trouble finding what exactly the current draw for these things is.
Thanks - you talked me out of building that driver, which would have been a bad idea. I have 0 experience building H bridges - so starting with a smaller one would definitely make more sense. If I have to spend a lot on the motor driver, I may not even want to do it. I've read the Powerwheels motors are pretty inefficient.

Work began this week at a demonstration mining project in the town of Emily in central Minnesota.
A subsidiary of Crow Wing Power is conducting the 45-day test to see whether it's feasible to extract manganese ore through a single well using high-pressure water. Manganese is used for making steel and batteries.
Brad Moore, with Barr Engineering, a Minneapolis firm working on the project, said the experimental ore removal process has worked well so far.
"One measure of success is to see if that technique actually can remove the manganese ore in a manner that can be commercially viable," Moore said. "The second key test is to ensure that we do that in a manner that is not harmful to the environment. We did a lot of work to ensure the process would be safe."
The recovered ore is taken in trucks to a University of Minnesota facility in Coleraine for analysis.
Moore says the Emily site is nationally significant.
"In terms of a high grade manganese ore deposit, it's one of the highest in North America in terms of concentration," he said. "The other reason that's important is that we import all our manganese, and so we're trying a way to actually produce some of it here in the United States."
Moore says a commercial operation would be years away, but could potentially extract a billion pounds of manganese ore from the site. Profits would be shared with members of the Crow Wing Power electric cooperative.

Pole star Smolarek joins Wanderers on loan
Racing Santander have agreed to loan Poland international forward Ebi Smolarek to Bolton for this season. The versatile 27-year-old, who is approaching 40 caps for his country and was part of their Euro 2008 squad, joined Racing in 2007 having previously played for Feyenoord and Borussia Dortmund. A statement on the Spanish club's website read: 'Racing and Bolton have reached an agreement for the loan of Ebi Smolarek to the British team until June 30, 2009. 'As well as that, the English outfit have an option to buy the Polish striker.' Smolarek, who is the son of former Poland player Wlodzimierz Smolarek, has been named Polish Player of the Year a record three times having been awarded the mantle in 2005, 2006 and 2007. He scored nine goals during Poland's European Championship qualifying campaign but failed to find the target during his country's first-ever finals appearance.

Trailer for The Box
Movie Preview: The Box
I've been watching out for director Richard Kelly's (Donnie Darko) movie The Box for a long time now, and I'm excited to say that while the premise sounds odd/silly, I think this could turn out to be a great film. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden play married couple Norma and Arthur Lewis who have a pretty storybook life but eventually run into money troubles. Cue very creepy music and Frank Langella showing up on their doorstep with a box. He tells them that if they push the button in the box someone they do not know will die and they will receive a lot of money.
Again, it sounds silly but so did a movie about a teenage boy who talks to a bunny rabbit named Frank, and we know how well that turned out (really well). The trailer is weird and creepy, and totally smacks of Richard Kelly. Count me in! The movie will hit theaters Oct. 30. To watch the trailer for yourself,

Twitter: @RaymondPettibon
Pettibon is most famous for designing the album art for the 70s punk band Black Flag, but his tweets look like they were typed out by an LOL cat or a 15-year old girl with a penchant for "abbrevs." But his Twitter may actually be a work of performance art on it's own. Most of his tweets come in the form of short rhymes about Burma Shave, mimicking the company's ad campaign where they posted rhyming roadside signs about their shaving cream. Pettibon's version is much funnier.

The Father says today that I am the kindling of the candle of your spirit man today. Even as I said in My word your human spirit is the candle by which I search out all the inmost parts of your inner man and your inner life. That which I illuminate within you is not an exposure of human frailty or sin for the blood covers all within you that offends My holiness. Remember says the Father that I am the God that dwells in thick darkness even as the prophets of old testified. I am guiding you and shining the lamp of My Very Presence within you that You might see in truth and in reality that I dwell only in the recesses of the human heart.
See this indwelling says the Father. See the indwelling of My Person within you and know it as your most essential truth. So no more eyes squeezed tightly shut says the Father. Do not fear what I will show and disclose to you within. Look deeply into that most vulnerable place within where no fig leaf religion can cover and you will see Me smiling back at you as a loving and forgiving benefactor. I am not angry with you says the Father and I am not disappointed in you on a single score. I am indwelling you and changing you into My nature and character and perfect nature. Yield to the change says the Father. Cooperate with the transformation that I am bringing to you even now and I will give you rest.

Today, Alameda County Supervisor, Scott Haggerty endorsed Dublin City Councilman, Eric Swalwell in his campaign for Congress in District 15. "Having represented Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin and Fremont I know our communities' needs. In Congress, Eric will be a champion for our area and work hard to create new jobs, support local transportation needs and protect our environment. We need a leader like Eric in Congress," said Haggerty.
Supervisor Haggerty was elected to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in 1996 and is a regional leader on transportation and infrastructure issues. He represents Livermore, Dublin, portions of Fremont, and unincorporated areas of eastern Alameda County.
"I am honored to have the support of Supervisor Haggerty," said Swalwell. "His attentiveness to his constituents and his knowledge of the issues of importance to his district are well known and values we believe are vital to effective public service."
More than seventy five locally elected officials and community leaders have endorsed Swalwell for Congress across every community in the district. Support crosses party lines and also includes the mayor and every member of the Union City City Council. Swalwell also has the full support of local law enforcement including every police officer association, the Deputy Sheriffs Association, Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern, and Alameda County Sheriff Emeritus Charlie Plummer.


text: On the other side of the protruding headland from Dorothy's, the SSW-facing city beaches host lots of random waves and it's probably easiest to surf Mamba Beach near the Mamba Point Hotel or out in front of the Sweden Embassy, where consistent beachbreaks cop onshores in the afternoon and sometimes get out of control. There are scattered rocks and the ever-present "beach logs" to avoid. About a 20min drive south of town is Fisher's Point, which handles a decent swell and offers long, shredable lefts, plus Lusama Beach that works best when everywhere else is flat.

Morning Meanderings… Get In Sync! Two Free Audiobooks a Week! Don't Miss Out!
Mmmmmm Morning. Mmmmmmm COFFEE.
I can not believe it is almost the end of June. I just took my bike in yesterday for it's spring tune up. What the…. I feel…. behind.
June is audio book month. Did you know? If you have been around here, you knew.
I actually feel bad that I did not mention something earlier this month… I just found out myself a couple weeks ago… but still I should have share….
Sheila! Get on with it already!
Right. Have you heard of Sync Audio? They are giving away two free YA audiobook downloads a week from May 15th – August 13th. I know… I know… we both have missed out on a lot – HOWEVER it is SUPER EASY to do because I did it. And they worked beautifully!
I downloaded OverDrive® Media Console™ (available for every major desktop and mobile platform) on to my Kindle Fire. (As you see here you can also download it on your phone, your laptop…) Then from my Kindle Fire I popped over to the Sync website, logged in and downloaded the two audio books they were offering this week.
Super EASY!
Super COOL!
The audiobooks are only available for one week, but once downloaded onto your device they are yours to keep. This week I downloaded:
Give them a try – they are free and it is a great way to either try audio books or grab a few great titles for us audiobook lovers.
I am on my way to the cabin this morning. Meeting some people to look at our roof. It is a long drive – 3 1/2 hours but I am excited for a few audio book choices I will be taking with me. I shall be back late tomorrow afternoon.
In the meantime, be sure and check out the audio book posts from this month – commenters are going into a drawing for a $25 gift card:
Please watch this site for June audio book related posts like this one. For every post you comment on in June that has this audio book symbol:

Appreciate the heads up thank you. Your choices look interesting.
I've gotten some good books through this program – the hungry games was on it a couple of years ago and Rotters (YA horror) was one of my favorites last year
Right now I'm listening to Cruel Beauty….I think it was their week 2 giveaway. If you plan to keep the books and you're downloading the books to an IOS device, be sure to download a copy to a computer. Last fall when Overdrive did an update to their app the books were erased and not recoverable.
I've never really listened to audiobooks, but I took your advice and downloaded the overdrive app to my kindle then the free books from Sync Audio. We'll see how it goes…
Thanks for the reminder! I did this last year and really enjoyed it! Heading over there right now 🙂

MANILA, TEXAS. Manila was near Box Creek nine miles southwest of Rusk in western Cherokee County. The site was probably settled in the late 1880s or early 1890s. A post office operated there from 1899 until 1906. At one time a store and a mill operated in the area, but by the 1930s the community no longer appeared on maps. In the early 1990s only a few scattered houses remained.

2. John Matrix in "Commando"
"Ver da fuck iss Chenny? I reely need to fiynt CHENNY! Eef any of dose scheissekopf mit gans are looking at me again, I AM GOING TO BE SMASHING DEM VIV MY MACHINE GAN UNT FISTS! Oh and you know ven I said that I vood kill you last? Yes, you now ven I said that? Vell, I LIED!"
The finale to 1985's "Commando" is quite possibly the greatest one-man-army sequence in movie history. Picture the scene: John Matrix has infiltrated the bad guy's villa to find his kidnapped daughter Jenny, but oh no! There are absolutely tons of henchmen and they all have guns! But oh yes! John Matrix is the hardest most bullet-proof man in the world and he doesn't even bat an eyelid as he wipes out the entire army. If that wasn't enough, he even has time for a knife fight with the lead bad guy, Bennett – before kindly allowing him to let off some steam.

Microsoft's First Post-Bungie Game to be a Halo Remake?
1UP is reporting that CVG is reporting that Games Master is reporting that 343 Industries' (Microsoft's internal Bungie replacement) next title could be a Halo: Combat Evolved remake.
Games Master states "industry chatter" as their source, though it doesn't take an overpaid, overrated egotistical analyst to tell you that the move makes sense. In fact, it makes sense (from a business standpoint) for both Halo 1 and 2 to be remade so that Microsoft can release various editions and collections throughout the remainder of the Xbox 360's lifespan while it ramps up for Halo 4.
Honestly, it's not that bad of an idea. Some will say it's a greedy move, but Halo: Combat Evolved still has one of the best campaigns in the series, and playing it all over again with Reach-level visuals, achievements, and online co-op would warm this former Halo fan's heart.

Castillo, Aurilia to start Opening Day
Recently added infielder gets nod at third base
By Jayson Addcox / MLB.com
OAKLAND -- For infielder Jose Castillo this last month has been more unpredictable than the weather in San Francisco. He began Spring Training as a member of the Florida Marlins fighting for a starting job. Then he was waived unexpectedly and left without a job. And now, just one week after being claimed off waivers by the Giants, he is the starting third basemen going into Monday's season opener in Los Angeles. "It feels good because this team gave me an opportunity to play. I'm happy for the team and I'm for myself," Castillo said. "When I got here, I was told that I was going to get a chance to play and that's all I wanted. To be the starter, that's great." Castillo knows all about the highs and lows of baseball. As a member of the Pirates in 2007, he was relegated to a utility role after starting at second and third base in his first three seasons with the team. Upset about his role on the Pirates, the 27-year-old from Caracas, Venezuela, asked to be traded and was released after the season. Castillo hit .244 with 18 doubles and 24 RBIs in 87 games last season before joining the Marlins in December. "I don't know what happened. Maybe [the Pirates] didn't feel like I could play and that was that," Castillo said. "It something that I've moved on from, but I wasn't happy with their decision." Castillo enjoyed a solid campaign in 2006 when he hit .253 with 14 homers and 65 RBIs in 148 games with the Pirates. Castillo, who has primarily been a second basemen in his career in the Majors, said he feels comfortable playing third base. "I played third base with the Marlins in Spring Training, so I feel good there," Castillo said. "In Venezuela, I played every infield position, so I don't care what position I play. I just want to play every day." Castillo started at third base Saturday against the A's and went 2-for-3, slapping a sharp liner to left in the second inning and a single to right in the fifth. Defensively, he made one blunder when he ran into shortstop Brian Bocock on a pop fly in short left field. The ball dropped in, allowing a run to score, and he was charged with an error. With Castillo starting at third base, manager Bruce Bochy announced that Rich Aurilia will start at first base in the season opener. Bochy said he will continue to shuffle the lineup, with Dan Ortmeier getting some playing time at first base and Aurilia at third. "Although Ortmeier has been swinging it better, he's struggled a little this spring getting on track, so we're going to put Castillo at third and Rich at first," Bochy said. "We feel that for Opening Day that's the best team we can put out there."

[JURIST] The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) [advocacy website] has urged Nepal [JURIST news archive] to adopt an amendment in its interim constitution creating a fully independent judiciary. In a letter to Subhash Nemwang, the speaker of the Parliament, ICJ General Secretary Nicholas Howen [official profile] recommended amending the interim constitution to clearly state that the judiciary is to be independent. The ICJ letter also recommended including provisions about discrimination, fundamental rights, rights against enforced disappearances, freedom of expression and emergency powers. Legal News from Nepal has more.
The House of Representatives in Nepal adopted [JURIST report] the country's draft interim constitution [eKantipur highlights; JURIST news archive] last month, following its approval by the Nepalese cabinet [JURIST report]. The interim constitution simultaneously provides for the dissolution of the current House of Representatives and the creation of an interim parliament with 25 percent of seats to be held by former Maoist insurgents. The new representative body will have to draft a permanent constitution as well as resolve the status of King Gyanendra [official profile] and the Nepalese monarchy.

Want to live in one of the top counties for kids' health, where you and your brood may be spared some agonies of life — more so than if you picked another location?
U.S. News just released its first-ever national, county-level assessment of the 50 healthiest spots for children age 18 and younger.
And what they discovered might surprise you.
-Only one Southern county made it to the 50 best in this evaluation.
-The other 49 spots were "fairly evenly distributed" across the rest of the country.
-There were "clusters" of top places in parts of the Northeast and California.
-Great counties come in all sizes. One in North Dakota has only 66,000 inhabitants; a West Coast locale has more than 3 million.
The ranking of the top counties came out this week, along with the news source's other kid-related guide, the Best Children's Hospitals 2013-2014.
The list is, of course, a compelling read, even though U.S. News included only about 1,200 of the nation's 3,143 counties. (Many states don't collect county-level information, and some numbers were too low to be reliable.)
The ratings were developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. That group evaluates health data as part of its County Health Rankings and Roadmaps program (in conjunction with the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation).
What's interesting about list is the message it delivers to families. On the one hand, it looks at places to live that report fewer infant deaths, fewer low birth-weight babies, fewer deaths from injuries, lower teen birth rates, and fewer kids living in poverty.
Fewer incidents are, by almost every measure, a good indication of a location with promise.
However, while reading the rankings, it also becomes clear that deciding to live here and not there, based on these factors alone, may be misguided.
Other variables, such as access to primary care doctors, air quality, and availability of parks and recreation, impact outcomes. How a mom manages her health before and during pregnancy, and how she maintains it afterward are also part of the equation. That goes for dads, too. You can pick a great spot to live. But you can undo that gain with poor food choices or by smoking around children.
That said, names count too, so here are some of the best counties, based on the new information.
Starting with slots one through 10:
Marin County (California)
San Francisco County (California)
Chittenden County (Vermont)
Norfolk County (Massachusetts)
Ozaukee County (Wisconsin)
Middlesex County (Massachusetts)
Boulder County (Colorado)
Douglas County (Colorado)
Montgomery County (Maryland)
San Mateo County (California)
And in spots 40 through 50:
New York County (New York)
Dakota County (Minnesota)
Cumberland County (Maine)
Fairfield County (Connecticut)
Carver County (Minnesota)
Gallatin County (Montana)
San Luis Obispo County (California)
Monmouth County (New Jersey)
Larimer County (Colorado)
Sonoma County (California)
Williamson County (Tennessee)

MILWAUKEE -- After two days of cruising, this Braves trip gave way to unforeseen calamity Saturday night, when second baseman Marcus Giles fractured his right clavicle in a collision with center fielder Andruw Jones and will be out for six to eight weeks.

Just like that, the satisfaction of a third straight win, an 11-6 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park, was replaced by a sea of grim faces in a solemn visitors clubhouse.
Giles sustained the fracture, along with a mild concussion and a bruised right hand, during an ill-advised trip into shallow center field chasing Wes Helms' soft fly. Instead of giving way to Jones, a six-time Gold Glove winner, Giles crashed into him and was down for several minutes.
Jones apparently suffered no ill effects, but Giles, who collided with Cubs pitcher Mark Prior last July 11 and suffered a mild concussion, will go on the disabled list today.
Giles was replaced by rookie Nick Green, who was on hand because backup infielder Jesse Garcia is on bereavement leave. Green, whose run-scoring single in the fifth inning was his first major league hit and RBI, may stick around now with Giles out.
Giles' absence in the short run will probably mean more playing time for Garcia, who will probably shift from shortstop to second. Manager Bobby Cox also has another option. Green was leading the International League in batting when he was called up from Class AAA Richmond Friday, though he doesn't have Garcia's defensive skills.
The Braves, meanwhile, have won three straight for just the second time this season. This one turned on a strong performance by the bullpen, long balls from Jones and Johnny Estrada, who delivered a career-high five hits and knocked in five runs, and four doubles by Adam LaRoche, tying the major league record.
There also was the matter of seven walks issued by Russ Ortiz, four in the first inning, when the Brewers scored two runs with only one hit.
Staked to a 5-0 lead before he even came out of the visitors dugout, the 6-foot-1-inch righthander had more than his share of control problems in lasting just 1 1/3 innings, matching the shortest outing of his career. Ortiz, who had walked a total of 19 batters in his first seven starts, walked half the batters he faced and allowed four runs on three hits.
But there was splendor in the relief corps. Antonio Alfonseca, Armando Almanza, Juan Cruz, and Chris Reitsma made themselves a considerable nuisance to the Brewers, allowing just two runs on three hits in 7 2/3 innings.
The Braves came in having scored just 12 runs in the first inning this season, none since May 2. But Giles led off the game with a soft single off Brewers loser Matt Kinney, LaRoche doubled, and J.D. Drew walked. Estrada then sent a run-scoring single through the right side, and the next batter, Jones, drove Kinney's first pitch over the center field wall.
The notoriously streaky Jones had only three hits in 14 at-bats on the trip and just six hits in his last 41 at-bats before swatting his sixth home run.
Estrada greeted reliever Dave Burba with his third home run in the third, a 395-foot drive over the left-center field wall, then singled in a run in the fourth, singled again in the sixth, and doubled home two runs in the eighth.

Fall Salad
After we made the Thanksgiving Ravioli, we had some leftover turkey cranberry filling. I did not want this to go to waste, so Mandi decided putting it into a salad. We cooked it the same night we made the ravs and put it into the fridge fully cooked. Then we just microwaved it the next night to put it on the salad warm. This was a really nice fall salad that was a bit different from a lot of salads we make.
Pomegranates. So festive! In season and delicious.
You can whack it with a spoon, or just quarter it and pick out the seeds. The quartering method is probably easier, and less of a mess, but I saw someone doing this on Iron Chef and wanted to give it a try.
Some seeds being expelled from the pom. Mandi is a master photographer.
Mandi had some of these in a martini and loved it. Vodka, vermouth, about 10 pom seeds, and ice into a shaker. Shake like crazy to get the juice out of the seeds. Pour into a martini glass and sprinkle about 15 more seeds in.
A quick grill of the bread and onions with some olive oil and salt.
I made a dressing that wasn't quite a vinaigrette. A vinaigrette should be about 3 oil to 1 vinegar, but this was the opposite. Mandi and I really love the strong balsamic vinegar flavor and don't like to dilute it with too much oil. There was also a half teaspoon of Dijon in there and some salt and pepper. I tossed the lettuce with the dressing and bread. Mandi did not like this step because she thought it made the bread slightly soggy. I however liked the balsamic flavor being concentrated into the bread.
To recap – lettuce, grilled bread, grilled onions, pomegranate seeds, toasted walnuts, shaved manchego cheese. Dressing of 3 parts balsamic vinegar, 1 part evoo, half tablespoon Dijon, salt and pepper. And leftover turkey cranberry ravioli filling. If you don't have this, you can leave it out or just cook up some ground turkey.

Federal Budget 2011
12 May 2011
Professor Michael Dirkis gives his reaction to the 2011 Federal Budget in an interview with Lawyers Weekly.
"We are certainly seeing the money come in for things like biosecurity systems and green pathways for native animals, which is all very positive, as is the drought proofing and the start of the sustainable cities regime.
"They are all good starting points," he said.
"It is disappointing to see some initiatives removed, such as the solar schools and the deferral of the green buildings initiative.
"They realise that they can't do everything."
"Like everyone, I'm disappointed - but it's not unexpected - that we have nothing on the carbon price process.
"You expect to see a wide spread of different initiatives across a broad range of solutions, and at this stage they are holding off making any major announcements until they get the carbon price sorted."

Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts
My car was parked at a restaurant parking lot. While eating, a vehicle traveled off the main road into my parked car. Is the restaurant liable in any way, because I was parked on their property?
3 Answers from Attorneys
The driver of the other vehicle is liable and not the restaurant.
You may be asking because you do not know who hit you.
I agree with CHris, but you can still file a claim with the property owner.
I think you need to consider why the restaurant would be liable. If there is some negligent act it carried out or its property was in a negligent condition that caused your vehicle to be damaged, then you might have a complaint against the restaurant. If you are asking this question it is safe to infer you chose to have a high deductible or you dropped the insurance coverage on your vehicle -- this was your choice, but you can see why people buy insurance so they are not left holding the bag when something like this happens.
A lot of parking lots have signs posted that say "not responsible for damage." I guess the theory is if you agree to park there then you waive your rights. I'm not so sure it is so easy as that, but the price you pay for a meal might be considerably higher if the owner of the restaurant is automatically liable to anyone who claims the dent in his car occurred while he was eating. Good luck. Regards, JBS

Conditions for 2012 are considerably better than the drought of 2011.
Counties around the region received measurable rainfall at the beginning of the year, giving hope to a more fruitful crop season than last year, but rain would be welcomed.
"We are in dire need of some rain," said Kerry Siders, AgriLife Extension agent-Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Hockley and Cochran counties. "We need a good general rain to help take some pressure off irrigation systems."
Greg Jones, extension agent for Garza County, said crop conditions in Garza County have declined a bit in recent weeks.
"They're beginning to suffer quite a bit," he said. "It's been pretty dry. We were in pretty decent shape a few weeks ago.
This 95- to 100-plus degree weather has taken its toll. Thing are stressed. Crops are stressed and in need of rainfall."
Jones said even irrigated acres are in need of rain.
Scattered showers have irrigated the region over the past week. Ryan Martin, extension agent for Motley County, said some areas in Motley County only received tenths of an inch of rainfall.
Places in Kent County have received no more than an inch, according to Jay Kingston, county extension agent.
Greg Gruben, Scurry County extension agent, said he hasn't heard of any rainfall of more than four-tenths of an inch in the county.
"We are still in that drought," Martin said. "There is not enough rain to get us out of it."
Martin said the dryland cotton replanted after April hail storms could be better.
"It's pretty short and starting to bloom out," Martin said. "Irrigated cotton is in a little better condition. If we don't receive rain in the next week, it's going to go opposite."
Bryan Reynolds, Lynn County extension agent, and Logan Newson, Lamb County extension agent, said cotton around the counties is in variable conditions, as well. Some places in the counties have a fair crop while others did not emerge.
Some Lynn County producers chose to plant sorghum during the replanting part of the season.
"The grain sorghum needs the rain as well," Martin said.
Newsom said northern areas of Lamb County have managed a fair corn crop, too.
"It's doing pretty good as well," he said. "It's not too bad, but it's at that point. If we don't get some moisture anytime soon, it'll start going in the other direction."
Scott Russell, extension agent IPM for Terry and Yoakum counties, said Terry and Yoakum county cotton crops are a mixed bag.
"We've got some dryland that is nearly finished," he said. "If it doesn't get some rainfall soon, it's done."
Russell said Yoakum County is "extremely dry."
The peanut crops in the region are looking OK, he said.
"We have about 2,300 acres of peanuts this season," Russell said. "Peanuts generally look very good."
Russell said there is a bit of grain sorghum that is fairing well, too.
Lindsay Kennedy, external affairs director for the National Sorghum Producers, said regional producers are hoping for rainfall soon.
"That's kind of the story for everybody," she said. "A good drink of water would certainly help. Just like with any crop, a nice rain shower would help with this stage in the growing process."
Curtis Preston, Bailey County extension agent, said August has a potential for cooler temperatures.
"We're hoping for a cooler and wetter August," he said.
Crops in Floyd County have experienced stress, as well. Tim Assiter, producer at Assiter Punkin Ranch, said the heat has helped the pumpkin crops, but the wildlife is affecting it.
"The pumpkin crop is doing pretty well because of the heavy irrigation," Assiter said. "But when you don't have any rain moisture out here, wildlife goes to looking for moisture. If it doesn't rain to where they'll have some green grass or water to drink, they'll be coming up into those fields."
Crops in Hale County, including cotton, sunflowers, corn and sorghum, are doing well, according to Gary Cross, Hale County extension agent.
"Cotton is looking to be in a pretty good place," he said. "The sorghum looks very good. We've had very little insect pressure at this point."
Cross said a hail storm from about a month and a half ago forced some producers to replant.
"Some replanted to corn and milo," he said. "Overall, we're not doing too bad. Some of the dryland stuff is probably struggling a bit."
Cross said timely rainfall is what has contributed to the success of crops in Hale County. Like the rest of the region, the county could still use some rain, though.
"We are still not out of the drought," he said. "It is still a drought situation. We've been lucky to have the rains we've had, but we can always use more."

Update #3 : is my husband cheating or im just over reacting... - he did CHEAT!!!
My husband is in Qatar right now. he's been there since last year - september 2012. Just this month, someone called me and the number registered in my phone is from Qatar, she's a girl and asking me what's my relationship with my husband, i did not answer her question but rather asked her "who are you? , she replied : " just answer my question" , but then again, i asked her again "who are you?" . she just listened to my voice, never answered my question and just hang up. no phone etiquette... she never even introduced herself nor say hi /hello , etc. she just automatically asked me...
i was so upset... i called my husband and confronted him about it .he said, she's his coworker he met during their company outing last november , they had talks with groups , since the girl is of the same nationality , they been sharing thoughts about life , family and such on that "day" , he said, the girl even asked for my number saying she wants to know me and wanted me to be her friend and as per him, never thought of anything, he just gave my number to her then...
i don't know, im confused. he's still the same as before, he calls me up everyday , we talked everyday via long distance call (phone call- 3-10 min call) but because of that incident, i felt like there's something going on in there.
i just need to know, do i have to worry about it? or just not mind it at all.
thanks everyone for the replies, i dont know how to answer your queries one by one so i figured out ill update my post instead:
Update : Oh, im 29 yrs old, my husband's 30. weve been girlfriend-boyfriend for 8 yrs since college, and married for a yr.we've been in this LONG DISTANCE Relationship since 2007, the girl on that call is 39 yrs old working as secretary on one of the branches of their company.
my husband just got hired to work in Qatar last September and as per his contract, he's allowed to go home annually... So he's just almost 6mos there... I did call the number but to no avail, she wouldnt answer me...that puzzles me alot. Im 27 weeks pregnant today to add up the situition and im trying not to upset myself for my baby.
Actually before , he worked in Saudi Arabia, so i guess since its a very strict country, i never experienced "other woman" stuff and all,but when he moved to Qatar -this just happened.
After i confronted my husband, i was soooo upset that i just cried all day, been trying to conceal my eyebags with makeup and pretended to be ok on my workplace. He kept on calling after that assuring me that he never had any affair in there... that he only saw that girl once during their company outing and that girl is located far from his office (their company has i guess 3 branches and a site office where he is assigned). Still, it bugged me : "why would this girl would spent her money for a long-distance call just to ask me about him? "
During our phone confrontation, I even said to him " what if, ill met a guy here, and tell our story , then Ill give him, your number, then he'll call you as what the girl did to me? how will you react to that? " he was silent for seconds and then later apologized for not thinking things would turn out that way...He said, he did not thought that girl would do such thing, but he told me that he will not / never confront that girl about the incident anymore out of respect that shes a girl, he'll just avoid her instead and pretend that he has no idea about what she did but will be watchful on his actions towards her.
I dont know what to believe in now.
Hi everyone, this is my update. (06/25/13)
Im out of words, i cant express well my situition now on full details but ill make it short for you guys to comprehend.
I just got back from gaving birth to my baby boy last May 21, 2013. the girl i mentioned above was still bugging so i decided to reply on her txt, she sent me proof on my fb that she and my husband are having an affair. I was really devastated when i saw it. all my husbands txt msgs to her saying "i love you, cant live without you, you're my life, i miss you voice and all sweet word" really pained me. It was June 16 that i confirmed all my instincts were true, that my HUSBAND IS CHEATING!!!
they had started their relationship last november 2012 and i was pregnant. all along, i was so trusting to my husband that hes not cheating coz im pregnant and yet i was fooled.
I confronted him, told him that i received all the proof from the girl and still the girl bugs me even i just gave birth. He did not deny it and been asking forgiveness and last chance. up until now, hes been calling, txting me for another chance but i did not reply. im really in pain now. what hurts me most, he cheated when i was pregnant, he never stopped their relationship even he knew the girl is bugging me since january. they just ended their relationship this month of june. imagine how long theyve been together? November 2012- June 2013?
I cant sleep, i always think of what theyve been doing from november - june. how may times theyre having sex, are they doing what we used to do. im really stressed out. I broke up with him last June 17 after finding out that hed been cheating on since november. He's been telling me that the girl wants to get even by bugging me and so i would definitely broke up with him. i dont know, til now, i really hate him. i hate him for 7 mos he was pretending hes not cheating in there, he calls everyday, txt me everyday but at the same time seeing that girl. the girl even said that they are living in together in qatar, but he kept on denying saying theyre not living in together, they just see each other every thu- and fri.
any advice? do you think i should give him another chance? Forgive and forget?
what is he doing over there?
Something is not right.. she called you and demanded you to answer her. If I were you, I would worry. Find out the entire truth.
I think it's impossible for anyone outside of your marriage to answer this question for you. However, since adultery can be prosecuted (especially when it involves two people in the same
unit or between ranks), it seems unlikely that both of them would be willing to take that chance.
You can read more about it here:
Sorry but wake up and smell the coffee! There are plenty of men he could share thoughts about life and family with.
Would YOU ever call any number associated with any of your male colleagues and act like that? Makes absolutely no sense. She obviously feels entitled and thinks he's hers.
I don't get that you need to be worried from what you said. She may have designs on your husband, but he is your husband. Now that she's called you, she knows that you exist, and maybe she'll back off. If it were my husband I'd probably mention the way the phone call went and that it was puzzling to you, so that assuming he is innocent he would be wary of this lady. Continue to keep a connection with him by calling or skyping or whatever arrangement you have- writing, having child talk with him, and so forth.

The original ColoredConsoleAppender was written before the .NET framework (and Mono) had built-in support for console colors so it was written using Win32 API calls. The AnsiColorTerminalAppender, while it works, isn't understood by the Windows command prompt so there's no console appender that works on both environments.
I'm attaching a replacement for both classes that uses the new (.NET 2) console colors and works on both platforms. It is based on the existing ColoredConsoleAppender. The color mapping values are not compatible with the previous version since this one uses the standard .NET 2 ConsoleColor enumeration values.

Do you think you could provide a small documentation snippet for http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html which is based on https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/trunk/src/site/xdoc/release/config-examples.xml ?
Indeed, ManagedColoredConsoleAppender makes more sense. Good call on the automatic properties, forgot all about them. Thanks.
I've attached a patch for the configuration example. Is it OK?

TMRS would like to assure our members that the news stories about pension problems in certain Texas cities do not involve TMRS. Houston and Dallas have pension programs that are local and independent, not affiliated with TMRS. If you want more information about how TMRS works and how it is different from most other retirement programs, you may find this presentation helpful.
TMRS has posted an online resource page to help cities locate the information needed to apply for the public pension star, one of the five stars awarded under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Transparency Stars program (application process information here). The Transparency Stars program for local governments aims to recognize transparency in decision-making in several areas, including pensions. The City of Carrollton was the first TMRS city to obtain the Transparency Star for Public Pensions.

A LIBERAL Democrat councillor has called for a more "co-ordinated approach" to cycling routes across the city.
Andrew Gant, Oxford City Council representative for Summertown, said longer through-routes should be considered.
It comes after council head of transport John Tanner, of the Labour party, appealed for Oxford Mail readers on where cycle cash should be spent.
In July, we revealed that only about £15,000 of a dedicated £362,000 has been spent on the Cycle City scheme over the past two years.
Mr Gant said cycle lanes on streets such as Woodstock Road should extend all the way on both sides.
He said: "We welcome Cllr Tanner's initiative.
"Bicycle lanes in side roads should co-ordinate better with those on major roads, for example the east end of Oakthorpe Road and west end of South Parade.
"We need a thought through and coordinated approach to through routes across the city.
"Too often bike lanes appear on new developments without sufficient thought about how they join up with the wider network.
"If Oxford residents can cycle safely and pleasantly across the city, they will."

The sand and gravel general permit requires the permittee to develop and maintain a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP must contain information on all the best management practices (BMPs) and structures that control and treat Type 3 stormwater.
Type 3 Stormwater means stormwater discharges from:
The permit includes a list of specific items that must be included in the SWPPP. These items include:
1). Site Map: The site map must identify the stormwater drainage areas and discharge points as well as industrial activities that may impact stormwater. This site map for the SWPPP and for the Monitoring Plan can be the same map as long as it includes the required information to satisfy both requirements.
2). Inventory of Materials: The inventory of materials must list all of the types of materials handled at the site (for example: cement and cement admixtures, petroleum products, gravel piles, recycle storage) that can be exposed to precipitation or run-off. Note: this inventory of materials can also be used in the spill plan.
3). Source Control BMPs: The SWPPP must include a list of the physical, structural, and mechanical devices or facilities intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. These BMPs may include channeling and berming to maintain separation of stormwater and process water. The permit also requires BMPs that comply with (or are equivalent to) Volume IV of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin for:
a. Fueling Stations - SWMM BMP S1.10
b. Vehicle/Equipment Washing and Steam Cleaning - SWMM BMP S1.20
c. Loading and Unloading Liquid Materials - SWMM BMP S1.30
d. Liquid Storage in Above-Ground Tanks - SWMM BMP S1.40
e. Container Storage of Liquids, Food Wastes or Dangerous Wastes - SWMM BMP S1.50
f. Outside Storage of Raw Materials, By-Products or Finished Products - SWMM BMP S1.60
NOTE: The Stormwater Management for Western Washington is the current source of BMPs. Although the revised manual does not use the S1.xx naming convention, it does include the same set of BMPs. see discussion below on "Stormwater Management Manual"
4). Stormwater Treatment: If operational and source control BMPs are not sufficient to prevent contamination of stormwater, treatment may be necessary. Treatment BMPs may include: oil/water separators, biofiltration, infiltration basins, detention facilities, and constructed wetlands.
5). Stormwater Inspections (Permit S4.F): There must be at least one wet season inspection and one dry season inspection of all active mining sites and asphalt batch and concrete batch facilities. The primary purpose of the wet season inspection is to determine how well all SWPPP BMPs are working when exposed to a major storm event (e.g., do covered areas really keep out the rain, are there any unusual odors, etc.). The primary purpose of the dry season inspection is to inspect the stormwater drainage system for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The results of these inspections must be written down and kept with the stormwater pollution prevention plan.
The SWPPP provides a list of the best management practices (BMPs) that are in place at a site to protect stormwater. The actual content of the SWPPP will vary depending on site-specific conditions. A "Pollution Prevention Team" for instance, would only be one person at a facility owned and operated by one individual. A facility that does not conduct refueling onsite would not include the refueling BMP. Some BMPs that will often be part of a SWPPP include:
Covered Storage: Chemicals stored outside should be covered so that rainfall does not become contaminated by contact with the chemical containers. The SWPPP should include this as a standard practice at the facility and the map should identify the covered storage areas.
Equipment Maintenance: The SWPPP should identify equipment that can spill or leak contaminants such as petroleum products. Provide an inspection and maintenance schedule for each piece of equipment that is identified.
Employee Training: The first line of defense will often be the employee that is onsite working. With proper training, employees can make a big difference in properly managing stormwater and protecting it from contamination.
Site Maintenance: Grading the site to provide even infiltration of rain and keeping the site clean will minimize contamination of stormwater.
Infiltration: Typically it will be desirable to infiltrate all or part of the stormwater that falls on a site. A grassy swale, infiltration trench, or a constructed wetland may provide adequate infiltration for all or most stormwater events. However, when stormwater has become contaminated with pollutants such as oil and grease, treatment may be required before infiltration.
Detention Pond: At sites that discharge stormwater to surface water, a detention pond will typically be required to control turbidity. Careful attention to pond dimensions and design is necessary to accommodate major storms and provide adequate settling.
Ecology released The Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington in 2005. This updated manual replaces the previous manual, Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin. The Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington was released in 2004. Facilities should transition to the new manuals. In the revised manual, Volume IV Source Control BMPs is a very good source of information on BMPs to include in the stormwater pollution prevention plan. In addition to the BMPs listed in Volume IV, Volume I provides information on developing a plan, Volume II provides BMPs for erosion and sediment control, and Volume III provides information on hydrologic analysis. It is highly recommended that permittees obtain a copy of the revised manual and read through it. Stormwater Management and Design Manuals
The plan is not intended to just sit on the shelf after completion. The permit requires periodic review and updates to keep the plan current. The plan should also be used during employee training. The plan is intended to become a part of doing business at a site and to be a living document.

Hello and welcome to e health forum.
Headache in a asthma patient can be due to headaches caused by stressful coughing and wheezing or due to medication induced headaches. In case the asthma is due to allergic nature, it could also result in congestion and resultant headache.
The cause of the headache in the first case is due to low oxygen levels in the body. The headache is one of the body's warning signs that it needs to move into an area where there is more oxygen.
The most common medications that when used persistently, can result in headaches when the medications are stopped. Eg Aspirin, Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Fast acting bronchodilators , used during asthma also can cause headaches.
Other causes of such headaches which can be conditions like cluster headache, severe migraines, tension headaches.
Some measures like saline mist inhalation steam inhalation and titration of your medications might be the initial steps to be taken. Stopping OTC pain killers (in case you are persistently using them) is also needed.
But ultimately, it is important for you to consult your treating doctor, who can evaluate your situation and provide specific solutions.

For the better half of the first part of the year we've been ranting and raving about Android flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S 4, the HTC One, and the Sony Xperia Z. But now that each of these devices is essentially old news, we're starting to look forward to what the latter half of the year will bring us. The lineup of the hopeful devices we are waiting to see is the next generation iPhone, the Galaxy Note 3, and for this article in particular, the Moto X.
In the middle of watching yet another comparison video between the HTC One and the Galaxy S 4, I decided I was tired of trying to figure out which one I liked best. I decided to close the video and scope out the Internet in search of more interesting subject: the mysterious Moto X phone, which is set to arrive on the market sometime later this year.
We've seen recent teasers emerge from the Google-owned company stating that the Moto X will be the "first smartphone you can design yourself", whatever that means. Evan wrote an article just the other day speculating what exactly that could entail, but until we know for sure it does make for an enticing marketing campaign to keep the dreamers a-dreaming. Even I was intrigued as to what it meant, but there is still one teensy weensy little issue that remained in the back of my head that turned me off from the idea of this phone in the first place: the "always on" sensors.
Ever since hearing about the "always on" sensors I've been pretty skeptical about the device. I guess it could be an ideal feature for some people, but then there are people like me who like to be in control of my own device on my own terms. Simply put, I don't want my phone to think for me, and it doesn't sound like there will be a way to turn the feature off. It's even been described as being "the perfect spy". That creeps me out. Not only do you have these sensors that are constantly monitoring your movements, but you also have the incorporation of Google Now that predicts what you want to do before you actually do it. This phone learns from you by reusing your information in nearly every possible way. This phone watches you. It's the perfect real-life premise for a Will Smith movie if I've ever seen one.
I can see the appeal in having this type of technology in a phone, especially because some parts of it are being used to try and better how we use our phones; but I also think it sounds flawed. I have read that if you're using a Moto X while traveling at high speeds, as if you were in a car, you wouldn't be able to text anybody. This is great if you're driving; not so great if you're a passenger and need to shoot somebody a text for whatever reason. I guess that would be about the time that you'd have to dust off the old dialer pad and learn how to make a phone call again. It's also my understanding that the phone does a lot of "predicting" when it comes to how you handle the phone. If you hold the phone out because you're getting ready to watch a YouTube video, the camera might pop up. Well, thanks Moto X, but I really just wanted to watch this YouTube video in landscape mode, but I guess I could take a picture while we're here.
I think that's weird.
I just don't think I could handle a device that tries to do everything for me. Granted, this is just speculation at this point considering we only have limited information on what this phone can really do. Until we know for sure, I'm going to remain skeptical of the device. Actually, I think the term I'm looking for is 'nervous'. Maybe I just don't understand how this technology works because I haven't seen it before. I suppose only time will tell what this mysterious device will really entail. One thing is for sure - Motorola sure does know how to keep a person intrigued about a device that we know nearly nothing about.
Readers, what are your thoughts on rumors and speculation of Moto X so far? Share your thoughts with me in the comments below!

As it becomes clearer that California state government is unable to maintain the lavish social service structure it developed when the economy was in better shape, calls for the elixir of legalized marijuana are growing louder and louder.

"What we have with prohibition is the worst of all possible worlds," Mirken said. "A drug that's as common as dirt and totally unregulated and totally untaxed. It makes no sense."
Estimates vary on how much legalization would bring in, but Rooney reported it could bring in $50 an ounce in tax revenue.
"Proponents of legalization predict a tax windfall," he said. "It takes about three months to grow marijuana and one high quality plant can produce two ounces with a retail value of about $800, which under the proposed law would give the state a $100 hit."
But Rooney's segment ignored the enormous black market that already exists for the drug – a market that wouldn't necessarily go away with legalization. As Harvard economist and legalization proponent Jeffrey Miron pointed out for Slate.com on June 10, pot smokers may not be interested in paying the taxes levied on legal, regulated weed just for the ability to smoke it legally. If they continue to go to the black market to avoid these taxes, there will be no windfall as advertised.
