We all have our personal opinions when it comes to hip hop albums. An album I might term "classic", the next man might think is garbage. You can have some heated discussions when it comes to discussing hip hop in general, as my man J-Zone says, three things you don't discuss in public: religion, politics and hip hop. But to me, that is the beauty of it all, discussing hip hop and being a pseudo know it all. After all, is that what we are all here for? Isn't that why a lot of you have listened to me rant for the past two and a half years?
Believe it or not, I'm a fairly opinionated person. There are certain aspects of hip hop or just life in general, that I will argue until I'm blue in the face. Certain albums, I just believe are better than others. Now, I have my weird tastes and the such. I pump Son Of Bazerk albums more than your average person and my favorite hip hop album of all time is "Slaughtahouse", not necessarily your average taste in the general hip hop fan. But I love discussing the music. I love hearing people's opinions. I realize that not everyone thinks like me. I think you all should think like me, but the reality is that not everyone does. It's fun to hear people make an educated argument about why they believe something should be so. It's also just as much fun to hear some moron make an ass of themselves by just saying stupid shit.
For that simple reason, I thought it would be fun to start a new weekly feature on WYDU entitled "This or That". I'll take two albums, both which are somewhat similar to each other and I'll discuss my thoughts and views on them then we'll let everyone vote on which one they think is better. As I said, I'd like to keep them similar in style and era. For me, it's impossible to compare Ice T's "Rhyme Pays" to Mos Def's "Black On Both Sides". It's like comparing apples and oranges and pretty much irrelevant. But comparing two albums by the same artist makes more than enough sense. That's exactly what we'll do for the most part, asking questions like: "Low End Theory" or "Midnight Marauders"? The debates that are basically age old debates anyway with no right or wrong answer (at least not in the general consensuses). What better way to start of the series in the right way than asking which album people prefer the most; "Ammerikkka's Most Wanted" or "Death Certificate", by our man, Ice Cube.
**Vote in the poll provided in the left hand column or feel free to drop a comment stating your reasoning, or both**
ICE CUBE: "AMERIKKKA'S MOST WANTED" or "DEATH CERTIFICATE"??
Ammerikkka's Most Wanted dropped in a time when hip hop was starting to undergo yet another metamorphosis. A lot of people list the original "golden age" as happening in 86-88. In 1986, artists such as KRS-One, Eric B. & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and others, over took Run DMC's throne on top and ushered in a new age. After 1988 though, rap was faced with another transitional period. A lot of us old fogies will admit that '89 and '90 were both ho-hum years in the grand scheme of things. Gangsta rap had already seen a rise in popularity with Ice-T and N.W.A. lighting the fuse in the late 80′s, but it would be Ice Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted that would be the leader in the "next generation" of hip hop realists. We'll skip over the details on how Ice Cube separated from N.W.A., in all it's stickiness and drama. What would happen after Cube broke north was his meeting with one of the greatest production crews of all-times, The Bomb Squad. After realizing he couldn't work with Dre, he wanted, what he perceived as the best producers on the east coast, and that would be Hank Shocklee, Keith Shocklee, Eric Sadler and Chuck D. The combination led to what is possibly the best "West meets East" collaboration the hip hop nation has ever seen. The Bomb Squad brought out that anger perfectly. They were known for their dense and complicated music that was a perfect sonic backdrop for Cube to vent his anger. The sound was one that sounded west coast in origin, but still had the trademark Bomb Squad sound. They even did the west coast gangsta stroll music better than most of the west coast cats on "Who's The Mack", I dare you to say anyone could have executed the sound for that track any better.
Cube was known for the member with the lyrics in N.W.A. On the solo creep, Cube had even stepped up his lyrical prowess as he unleashed an all out assault on many topics that plagued South Central Los Angeles. Ice Cube was down right angry on AMW. There is no better way to say it, he was straight up pissed off. The lead off track, "The N—a Ya Love To Hate", sets up the mood as Cube doesn't waste anytime letting the world know that he is a brother that has been scorn:
I heard payback's a motherfucking nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin treated like a goddamn stepchild
Fuck a punk cause I ain't him
You gotta deal with the nine double m
The damn scum that you all hate
Just think if niggas decide to retaliate
They try to keep me from running up
I never tell you to get down it's all about coming up
So what they do go and ban the AK?
My shit wasn't registered any fucking way
So you better duck away run and hide out
When I'm rolling real slow and the lights out
Cause I'm about to fuck up the program
Shooting out the window of a drop-top Brougham
When I'm shooting let's see who drop
The police the media and suckers that went pop
And motherfuckers that say they too black
Put em overseas they be begging to come back
They say keep em on gangs and drugs
Yyou wanna sweep a nigga like me up under the rug
Kicking shit called street knowledge
Why more niggas in the pen than in college?
Now cause of that line I might be your cellmate
That's from the nigga ya love to h
It would only get worse on the title track "Amerikkka's Most Wanted", Cube dropped lyrics of fury over a James Brown sample. These two tracks would set up the whole mood for AMW. Whatever topic Cube might want to touch on, from a craps game gone bad ("What They Hittin' Foe") to an X-Rated ghetto fairytale ("Gangsta's Fairytale") to knocking up the neighborhood hussy ("You Can't Fade Me"), the Bomb Squad had Cube's back with a menacing track that fit the mood perfectly.
Death Certificate
In his next full length feature, Death Certificate, all hell broke loose, literally, before it's release in November of '91. Cube had all kinds of groups in an uproar over questionable lyrics. Many people were branding him as a racist as the white media sat up and took notice due to some of his lyrics. I can recall news shows such as "Nightline", "ABC Tonight" and several of the conservative cable news talk shows taking shots at Cube and this album. I'm sure a lot of the heat was left over from the whole Ice-T/Cop Killer controversy with Time Warner. Ethnic groups such as Korean store owners, were fired up about Cube's bluntness when dealing with the racial tension, but really it was just a predecessor of what was to come with the riots the coming spring. In all, it was the perfect firestorm Cube needed to sell units when it dropped.
Gone was the Bomb Squad and in stepped in several of my personal favorites as well as some of the most underrated beat makers on the left side. Sir Jinx and The Boogiemen (DJ Pooh, Bobcat, & Rashad) handled the majority of the the production duties found on Death Certificate. While I wouldn't say the contained a more "west coast flavor", it did build off of the foundation the Bomb Squad laid previously. Filled with familiar chunky funk samples such as "Hip Hugger", "Funky Worm" and other P-Funk staples, Death Certificate to me represented Ice Cubes anger that was more focused at it's target. Once again, Cube lead off the album with two excellent bangers, full of venom and anger over true gangster funk. "The Wrong N—a Fuck Wit" might as well be part two to either "The N—a Ya Love To Hate" or "Amerikkka's Most Wanted", as Cube unleashes the same fury and anger as expressed on those two songs.
On Death Certificate though, it's not nearly about the beats as it was on Amerikkka's Most Wanted. I'm not sure if it was the fact that it wasn't the Bomb Squad or the fact that Cube stepped up his game on Death Certificate. Cube wove ghetto tails like no one else could or still can. "My Summer Vacation" and "Steady Mobbin'" come off like a hood novel, especially the later track, which details Cube's trek through South Central LA:
Bustin caps in the mix
Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six
Cause I'm gettin major
Fuck Pac Tel, move to Sky Pager
Told all my friends Don't drink 8 Ball, cause St. Ide's is givin ends
Fools get drunk and wanna compete
Slapboxin in the street
Niggaz get mad, tempers are flarin cause they got a few bitches starin
Just for the nappy heads
But scandalous bitches, make for happy Feds
I'm making my duty to cuss em out, cause I just don't trust em
And if you tell on me I'm bombin on Betty
Bitch shoulda known I was steady mobbin
"Steady Mobbin'" is quite possibly one of the greatest west coast songs ever. Cube doesn't stop there, as he tells tales of despair and helplessness on what ultimately ends up to be a two sided concept album (back when albums were formatted to the cassette media). On the "Death Side", Cube paints a picture of what really goes down in the hood. From sheisty bitches that give you the clap in "Look Who's Burnin", to the tales of slangin' 'caine on the corner in the hard edged "A Bird In The Hand". It's the "Death Side", that Cube lays down all the dark shit that happens in any ghetto U.S.A. It would be the "Birth Side" that would ruffle a few feathers of America, further cementing the thought that conservative America is fine when a black artists is speaking about the fucked things going on in his hood, but when it comes out to the suburbs, shits not kosher. Tracks like "Black Korea", in which Cube fires lyrical bullets at the Korean shop keepers found throughout the black neighborhoods in LA, are filled with anger which might be justified, but still fueled the controversy that surrounded this albums release. It would also cement Cube as more than just a gangster rapper, he would be seen as a black leader and on the same level as the X-Clan, Public Enemy and other Afrocentric leaders in the black community.
Trav's Final Verdict
While Amerikkka's Most Wanted is nearly perfect, a couple tracks don't seem to fit, namely "The Bomb", the albums last track. Don't get me wrong, the energy and some of the lines Cube drops are tops, but the song just doesn't seem to fit in the overall scheme of things. It probably would have fit better on the Kill At Will EP that dropped later in the year. Other weaker tracks tend to distract from the overall finish of the product as well. "It's A Man's World" is one of the weaker tracks as well. I've long felt that Death Certificate was a more polished version of AMW, in terms of beats and Cube's skills writing songs and in his lyrics. One could knock the overuse of several well worn samples in the Boogiemen's and Sir Jinx's repertoire, but as I mentioned before, Death Certificate isn't supposed to be about beats. The beats more than adequately provided the proper canvas for Cube to paint his picture of what kind of shit went down in the Los Angeles ghettos. Everything is just crisper and more focused on Death Certificate. It even spawned possibly the
most vile and venomous dis track ever in "No Vaseline". Cube's fury is more focused and that lead to album that made more of an impact on society as a whole.
Winner: Death Certificate

In order to complete a brand new design on time, it is an important factor to effectively reuse existing design modules. The use of an automatic optimization quickly and easily increases design reuse efficiency.
The following figures are examples of a source layout and an optimized result made by Virtuoso Layout Migrate. Virtuoso Layout Migrate optimizes a design automatically by satisfying design specific constraints. The shape of the source layout can be maintained in the optimization result perfectly.
Before Migrate
After Migrate
One important issue that we need to carefully consider is how easily the result can be obtained. Even though the high quality optimization is possible, it would be useless if a lot of work is required to get it.
Cadence's Virtuoso_XL, and GXL automatically extracts design constraints including Symmetry placement required for a design optimization from connectivity information in a schematic view and delivers them to a layout view via Constraint Manager. The design constraints delivered to the layout view will be applied as well as constraints added by a user manually during the optimization.
This optimization flow is as follows.
The following Fig 1-a shows the contrarians extracted by Circuit prospector. Fig 1-b is a migration result with respecting the design constraints extracted by Circuit prospector, and added by the constraint manager.

seam on body of phone
I just purchased a new 3120 from a cingular store and noticed there is a seam on the body of phone located on both sides of the phone about 3/4 to the top (when phone is sideways/slim view). Is that normal? I looked at 2 other 3120's in the store and they all seemed to have it but, some were more pronounced than others.

Short Ryder
Type: Feminized, Auto-flowering
|This marijuana hybrid strain is the result of crossing Nirvana's discontinued Top 44 and Early Special. The result is an early finishing and auto-flowering cannabis strain that can be expected to produce buds in just 6 to 8 weeks tops. It will flower early under any condition whether indoor or outdoor and shell out a decent 300gr/m2 of yield.
Short Ryder is the favourite of many weed growers especially beginners because it does not need inducement to flower and perfect for an indoor growing set-up and small spaces because of its short height. Though a sativa/indica hybrid, it leans more on the side of its indica genetics and produces a high that is strong with body buzz and relaxing stoned effect. It has a pungent fruity flavour when smoked and also pest-resistant because of its ruderalis properties earned from its parent's strain Early special.

Burke, VA (PRWEB) December 17, 2014
Preparing the home for the annual gathering of family and friends takes time and forethought. Pasquali Realty Group, a Northern Virginia real estate company offers the following tips to help prepare for holiday guests.
The day before guests arrive is no time to pull apart junk drawers and clean out linen closets. Declutter guest rooms and public areas — foyer, kitchen, living room, den, and dining room. Remove anything unnecessary from countertops, coffee tables, and ottomans; if it's out of sight, keep it out of mind, for now. If running short of time, bag up the clutter and store it in car trunks, basements, and out-of-the-way closets. Sort and arrange after your guests depart.
Light the way: Make sure outside lights are working so guests don't trip on the way to the door. Put motion-activated night lights in hallways, bathrooms, and bedrooms to ensure safe passage after the sun sets.
Child Proofing: Ask parents to bring hardware that keeps their small ones safe, such as baby gates and cabinet locks. Transfer toxic cleaners and medicines from base to wall cabinets. Hide matches and lighters.
Fire prevention: Smoke detector batteries should be changed every 6 months. Every time you set your clock for daylight savings time is a good reminder. If the batteries are older than 6 months, change them now. After guests arrive, run a quick fire drill: Make sure they can locate exits and fire extinguishers, and that they know how to open windows and doors.
Entryway upgrades
The home's foyer is the first place guests see, so make a good first impression.
Upgrade exterior entry doors or give old doors a new coat of paint. Polish and tighten door hardware, and oil hinges to prevent squeaks.
Remove scratches from hardwood floors, stairs, and wood railings. Place a small rug or welcome mat at the entrance to protect floors from mud and snow.
Clear out shoes, umbrellas, and other clutter.
Add extra hooks to walls so guests can hang coats and hats.
Add a storage bench where guests can remove boots and shoes.
Kitchen prep
The kitchen is command central during the holidays, so make sure it's ready for guests and extra helpers.
To increase storage, install a pot rack to clear cooking items off countertops and ranges.
Move the coffee station into a family room so guests don't crowd the kitchen when trying to fix meals.
Sleeping arrangements
For guest rooms, replace the ceiling fixture with a ceiling fan and light combo, which helps guests customize their room temperature without fiddling with the thermostat for the entire house.
To carve sleeping space out of public areas, buy a folding screen or rolling bookcase, which will provide privacy for sleepers. Fold or roll it away in the morning.
Bathroom storage
Bring toilet paper, towels, and toiletries out of hiding, and place them on open shelves so guests can find them easily.
If not enough wall space for shelves, place these items in open baskets around the bathroom.
Also, outfit each tub with a bath mat (to avoid falls) and each toilet with a plunger (to avoid embarrassment).

Modi questions Sonia's 'silence' on Baru's memoir
BJP leader Narendra Modi referred to the book penned by PM Manmohan Singh's former media advisor Sanjaya Baru and sought answers from Congress president Sonia Gandhi on allegation that 'she handled the government files before the PMO'.india Updated: Apr 13, 2014 02:54 IST
BJP leader Narendra Modi referred to the book penned by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's former media advisor Sanjaya Baru and sought answers from Congress president Sonia Gandhi on allegation that "she handled the government files before the PMO".
"One of the biggest revelations was made yesterday in a book. It claims that Sonia used to clear the Central government's files before the PMO. The government appointments, ministerial portfolios, transfers etc. were being decided by her and then cleared by the PM mechanically without applying mind," Modi said alluding to Baru's memoir "The Accidental PM" which has crated an uproar in political circles.
Modi was addressing an election rally in Pune on Saturday night in support of party candidate Anil Shirole.
"The institution of Prime Minister had been degraded. Sonia has kept mum even 24 hours after the revelations in the book. She should answer the charges as people want to know," Modi said.
Read: Saleability, not politics, basis of Baru's book timing: Penguin
"We had heard about the remote control but in this case the remote itself was running the government," Modi said.
If the institution of PM was devalued like this, no country in the world would accept its constitutional authority, he said.
"The revelations in the book have also explained the intemperate action on part of 'shehzada' (Rahul Gandhi), daring to tear off the ordinance (on conviction of elected representatives) which was approved by the cabinet and PM. These are serious charges made in the book written by an insider," the BJP's PM nominee said.
Citing instances of institutional degradation, the BJP leader said, "the PM's authority as the Planning Commission (chairman) too was eroded with the setting up of the National Advisory Council (NAC) which kept him in the dark while taking decisions".
For the first time, the country saw frictions between the government and the Army as well as the CVC, he added.

One quarterback just drafted by the Detroit Lions is way less famous than his mom
The Detroit Lions just drafted a quarterback in the 6th round whose mother is probably way more famous than he'll ever be. The Lions drafted Brad Kaaya from the University of Miami to be the backup quarterback to superstar Matthew Stafford.
Kaaya's mom is Angela Means Kaaya, the actress who played Felisha in the movie "Friday."
You know, as in, "Bye Felicia", the catchphrase you keep hearing non-stop.
Note: IMDB spells the name, "Felisha" whereas every meme ever spells it, "Felicia".
If you are somehow unaware of the catchphrase, it's still relevant after 22 years because it is the perfect thing to say when you want someone to go away. A guy you don't like is flirting with you at the bar - "Bye Felicia."
Brad from accounting is telling you about how he saw Vampire Weekend on Friday - "Bye Felicia."
Your mom wants to know when she'll have grandkids- "Bye Felicia!"
Before moving to Hollywood, Angela Means Kaaya was from Michigan.
We're going home 🦁 pic.twitter.com/tPlyyPQEHL— Angela Means Kaaya (@angiemeanskaaya) April 29, 2017
So, getting drafted by the Lions means the Kaaya family is heading home, and telling California, "bye Felicia!"

New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj called on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday following his arrival here on a three-day official visit.
"Carrying forward a positive legacy of friendship and cooperation. EAM @SushmaSwaraj calls on Japense PM @Abe Shinzo," external affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted.
Abe's visit comes amid expectations that an agreement would be firmed up on India's first bullet train to run between Mumbai and Ahmedabad and over progress in the talks on a civil nuclear deal.
Abe was received at the airport by Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha.
Abe will hold the annual summit meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, following which the two leaders will issue press statements.
He will call on President Pranab Mukherjee, address the Japan-India Innovation Seminar, and also meet business leaders.
Another highlight is the Japanese prime minister's trip to Varanasi on Saturday where he will attend the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. Abe will be taken by Modi to Varanasi, his parliamentary constituency.
At the last summit meeting held in Tokyo in 2014, the two prime ministers agreed to elevate the bilateral relationship to "special strategic and global partnership".
Modi and Abe also met last month on the sidelines of the 13th Asean-India Summit at Kuala Lumpur and again during the Paris climate change conference.
Abe, who met Modi over lunch at Kuala Lumpur, had said that India-Japan relationship has the greatest potential of any bilateral relationship in the world.
The proposed bullet train line between Mumbai and Ahmedabad would cost Rs.98,000 crore, according to a joint project feasibility study, co-financed by the Indian Railways and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
There are also speculations over a civil nuclear deal for which negotiations have been going on.
India sees Japan as an important player in the nuclear energy sector with major Japanese firms manufacturing components for related equipment.

MIAMI - Tegu lizards are reproducing all over South Florida, and they're taking over the Everglades.
They are cold-blooded killers, eating their way through the Everglades and putting an entire species at risk.
Tegu lizards call South America home. But because South Floridians are buying them as pets, the large reptiles are the latest animals to be dumped in the woods when they outgrow their welcome.
In order to capture the lizards, traps with eggs used to bait the tegus are hidden in the brush throughout the Everglades.
They are a large-bodied lizard, very stocky, they're black and white. They have this white banding down their body, they have a fairly long tail that's pretty thick and then they have these long toes and claws.
They are similar to an iguana, but with a larger head and jaw. They could grow to be about four feet long. They appear to be harmless, but don't be fooled. The biggest risk is that they like to eat.
"These lizards are not native to Florida," said Jake Edwards, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). "Right now were trying to assess their risks and what they could pose to some of our native wildlife."
Tegus eat a wide variety of food items, everything from fruits and insects to small insects and small animals, but they also really like eggs.
"Tegus like to eat eggs so one of our concerns is that they might be predating wildlife such as birds, turtles, alligators, crocodiles," said Jennifer Eckles, of FWC.
This means that endangered and protected animals could be wiped out, while the Tegu saddles up to a smorgasbord of helpless animals.
Tegus may look cute when they're small, but they could grow up to four feet long, and that's part of the problem. At that point, people may dump them in the Everglades when they don't want to deal with them anymore, and that adds to the overpopulation.
Similar to the pythons in the Everglades and lionfish in the ocean, tegus are the newest powerful predator in Florida's wetlands.
Florida Fish and Wildlife officers first spotted the elusive lizards in 2009 and began trapping them a year later. But they have only found 400 in four years.
But in the swamps of Miami-Dade County, there could be thousands of these hungry reptiles enjoying a food free-for-all. And it's all because unwanted pets made this their new home and began breeding and eating.
Dumping exotic pets is against the law.
"We do have a lot of regulations and we do have programs in place now so that we can try to take care of these situations before they become a problem," said Eckles.
But they are past that point with the tegus.
Dumping exotic pets like the tegus is a second-degree misdemeanor violation which carries a $500 fine and up to six months in jail. Florida Fish and Wildlife officers accept all exotic animals and often host pet amnesty days.

Genuine Giraffe Bone Elephant Carving from Zimbabwe.Zimbabwean Art at it's best. All items direct from Africa. This is an incredible piece of African Art which is totally unique in it's kind. It is the leg bone from a Giraffe which has been carved with a depiction of elephants walking in the bush. The bone measures approx. 24" long. The pictures just do not do this fantastic hand carved piece any justice at all. This carving would make a stunning adornment to your ethnic room or trophy room. I am sure that if a unique artwork like this were to be sold in an African curio shop in the US or European region, that it would go for hundreds of dollars and not what you would be buying it for on e-bay. This is a one off opportunity to purchase your piece of Africa direct from Africa. This box will be sent via airmail which takes anything from two to six weeks. The cost for this service is US$25 . This shipping cost may seem high but that is what it costs me to get the box t I don't make any profit on the shipping.

I am a Registered Trophy Dealer and licensed to sell animal products worldwide. All applicable items will be sent with the appropriate Cites ... read more

wikiHow to Beat Cynthia in Pokémon Platinum
Cynthia's Pokémon are Lucario, Garchomp, Togekiss, Spiritomb, Milotic, and Roserade. Her team is a mix of all types, as opposed to the rest of the Pokémon League. Cynthia is going to be your final battle, and it's a very tough one, but there are ways to beat her. Be sure that your team is at least level 60.
1Get an Eevee and evolve it into Glaceon. You can do this by leveling it up near the Ice Rock at Route 217.
2Buy at least 50 of each potion and Full Restores.
3Buy at least 100 Revives. You will need at most 100,000 Poke dollars.
4Have a Torterra with the moves Strength, Rock Climb, Rock Smash, and Giga Drain.
5Use Glaceon on Cynthia's Garchomp and Togekiss, and you'll see the rest for yourself.

- Use Glaceon for most of Cynthia's Pokémon except for Milotic, which is weak to Grass and Electric moves, and Lucario, which has Aura Sphere and Stone Edge.
- Togekiss is weak to Electric-type moves, so use a Luxray.
- Milotic has Ice Beam, so don't use Torterra against it.
- Togekiss has Shock Wave, so don't use a Flying or Water Pokémon against it.

DALLAS (AP) A Dallas County grand jury on Friday declined to indict the son of a slain millionaire for the 1998 death of his father.
Charles "Chuck" Mayhew Jr., 49, was released from a Dallas jail Friday.
"How do I feel? How do you think I feel?" Mayhew told The Dallas Morning News. "I've been rotting in jail for two and a half months for a crime I didn't commit.
"I am happy to be free," he added. "They got the wrong man."
Mayhew was arrested in July, nearly three months after a civil jury found him responsible for the death of former Sunnyvale Mayor Charles May hew Sr.
In April, Dallas County jurors awarded a $26 million verdict against the son in a wrongful death suit brought by his sister, Amanda Mayhew Dealey. Dealey, a 51-year-old Austin socialite, filed the suit after Dallas County authorities failed to get enough evidence to pursue a criminal indictment.
She accused her brother of killing their father because he worried about being cut from a large inheritance.

Taiwan's main opposition party says chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen has secured its presidential nomination after winning an island-wide telephone poll.
The Democratic Progressive Party is expected to announce Tsai's nomination formally on May 4. The poll results were disclosed at a party press conference in Taipei on Wednesday.
The 54-year-old British and American-educated Tsai will face President Ma Ying-jeou in general elections in January 2012. Ma was the only candidate to register for the ruling Nationalists. His formal nomination is expected to be announced later Wednesday.
A cool-headed intellectual, Tsai has departed from the DPP's anti-China tradition and promoted exchanges with the mainland. The two sides split amid civil war in 1949.

hello all I am looking for a walking foot for my 221 featherweight and also inf on how to attach it thanks
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
hello all I am looking for a walking foot for my 221 featherweight and also inf on how to attach it thanks
There is another thread about walking feet on FWs. Check that out. You can buy them at sew-classic or the April site. Be sure it says it's for a FW because the feed dog are narrow on the FW and you want the foot to line up.
You put them on the machine just like any other foot except there is a fork arm that you put over the thumb screw that holds the needle in place. That fork will go up and down with the take-up lever and allows the walking foot to work properly.
I bet there is a utube or something out there that will show you how it works. I'm not good at finding those but someone here will post one I bet. Good luck with what you find.
I got a walking foot for my Featherweight at a local shop that sells sewing machines. I paid around $20 for it. The brand name is Even Feed by Brewer. More of the universal fit kind of walking foot but Singer 221 Featherweight is listed on the package. Works great. I'm quilting a quilt now using it and my featherweight.
Try ebay..Also look at Hancock..They are handling a lot of different feet for vintage machine..
Mine is AlphaSew and I love it. Don't remember where I ordered it from - but it works great.
This too shall pass.

President Obama's Wednesday temper tantrum in the White House Rose Garden has shocked not only the American people but people worldwide. This incident may be the beginning of a downward slippage of Obama's popularity, as most people admire courage over uncontrolled anger from a blatant demagogue.
No one has posted a recollection of such shameful behavior by a previous President. One does not expect a legislative defeat would have such a profound impact on a President.
United States Senators are not answerable to Obama and are obligated to vote on their understanding of our Constitution. No Senator should ever be beholden to a President, especially a President who appears to not have the best interests of the American people in his heart and in his mind.
Democrats will pull away from Obama, especially as the 2014 elections become closer. Fox News reported,
The president says he will keep pushing for gun control. But whipping up pressure against Democratic incumbents could mean multiple primary challenges and increase Republican chances of taking control of the Senate. Whatever Reid says, it seems unlikely that he will want to endanger his majority status by bringing more difficult votes to the floor.
As Democrats buck the president on key votes, openly criticize his signature health law and shrug off his budget plan, there seems to be little worry on the blue team about the president's demands. That seems unlikely to change following the first major failure of Obama's second-term agenda.
Charles Krauthammer characterized Obama's bad behavior on Wednesday evening in his comments on Special Report with Bret Baier,
"If you're going to make all of these emotional appeals, you've gotta show that if this had been law, it would have stopped Newtown. It would not have. It's irrelevant. I wouldn't have objected, I might've gone the way of McCain or Toomey on this, but it's emotional blackmail to say 'You have to do it for the children.' Not if there's no logic in this, and that I think is what's wrong with the demagoguery that we've heard out of the president on this issue."
Hopefully the Democrats and Republicans will find increased courage to now work together to secure our international borders, to defund and to shut down ObamaCare, and to diminish Obama's destructive influence on our nation and its people.

By Public Relations |
March 12, 2009
The department of communication at Bethel College has restructured its course offerings to include new concentrations in public relations and journalism to begin in the fall of 2009.
The new additions will offer students more focused choices between general communication, journalism and public relations. "These changes will help our students become more competitive in the marketplace, while being able to apply their ethics on the job," said Dr. Elizabeth McLaughlin, assistant professor of communication.
McLaughlin also said the restructuring of the department of communication will complement the college's mission to provide meaningful academic programs that prepare students for a life of service. "We are dedicated to educating and equipping students to become skilled practitioners who represent the honesty and values that employers are seeking and our society needs."
"The journalism concentration offers students hands-on training in print and broadcast media. Students develop a broad range of skills to present information on multiple media platforms enabling them to compete for jobs in the highly competitive market," said Tim Ceravolo, director of student media.
Specific courses for the public relations concentration include introduction to PR, research methodologies, writing and production, campaigns, and internships — all of which are recommended by the Public Relations Society of America and the Commission on Public Relations Education.
As part of the restructuring of the department of communication, the Mass Media Minor and Associate Degree in Journalism have been dropped from the department. Both public relations and journalism will be offered as minors in addition to the concentrations.
For more information, contact Dr. Scott Johnson, assistant professor of communication, at 574.257.3327 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bethel College is an accredited Christian college of the arts and sciences offering associate, bachelor's and master's degrees in more than 50 areas of study. The current enrollment of more than 2,000 includes students from 34 states and Puerto Rico, 20 countries, more than 25 denominations and 16 percent from culturally diverse backgrounds. Scholarships are available based upon a variety of factors including academic achievement, talent in the arts or athletics, ethnicity and church affiliation. Bethel offers classes at four locations: the Mishawaka campus, the Elkhart campus and satellite locations in Nappanee, Ind. and Dowagiac, Mich. The main Bethel campus is situated on 75 wooded acres in Mishawaka, Ind.

text: Hey Haskell, So for a fairly inane reason, I ended up taking a couple of minutes and writing a program that would spit out, to the console, the number of lines in a file. Off the top of my head, I came up with this which worked fine with files that had 100k lines: main = do path <- liftM head $ getArgs h <- openFile path ReadMode n <- execStateT (countLines h) 0 print n untilM :: Monad m => (a -> m Bool) -> (a -> m ()) -> a -> m () untilM cond action val = do truthy <- cond val if truthy then return () else action val >> (untilM cond action val) countLines :: Handle -> StateT Int IO () countLines = untilM (\h -> lift $ hIsEOF h) (\h -> do lift $ hGetLine h modify (+1)) If this makes anyone cringe or cry "you're doing it wrong", I'd actually like to hear it. I never really share my projects, so I don't know how idiosyncratic my style is.

I'm really having problems understanding pointers, my lecturers have said there really useful and showed us how to implement them but that doesn't really help.
All i want to know is:
What are they?
Why do we use them?
Where would we use them?
What are the advantages to using a pointer instead of a variable?
some url's would be nice if anyone has any explaining them

This is why I should never be allowed to name things or approve names of things. Customers would eventually realize I was making fun of them pretty mercilessly. Cleverness would be rewarded. Snarky cleverness doubly so.
Yes... reminds me of something we got from Philips years ago when they first started making vidicon picture pickup tubes - the precursor to the CCD devices that are now ubiquitous. These produced rather variable amounts of visible noise, and even on a good one you used to get strange noise artefacts around the edge. When we asked the Philips engineers about this, they cheerily replied "Oh don't worry about that, it's just parc noise".
Not wishing to appear too daft, we just accepted that without too much enquiry of them, and went away to look it up. Needless to say we couldn't find any reference to it at all. So eventually we went back a little sheepishly and asked them what it was. They confessed that honestly they didn't know. So to stop customers asking too many questions, they just gave it a suitable name and reversed it...

In terms of trademarks and ownership in many aspects, the use of acronyms is very much important. If you can only read the brand naming book that is authored by Alexandra Watkins or get idea of http://eatmywords.com/services/speaking/ you can know more about every name or business has its short or even acronyms. Alexandra Watkins is expert and known in the field of branding.
worst navy acronym ever, in nuclear power school they used to have mechanical theory and heat transfer and fluid flow instructors teach in the school, they were officers but never went through any officer program. NO LIE they were called Direct Input Limited Duty Officers. They have since changed the title to Direct Input Officers.

RE: Musings about omnipotence and perfection.1st February 2011, 07:27 (This post was last modified: 7th February 2011, 07:42 by annatar.)
DoubtVsFaith Wrote:Everything is logically possible. Nothing is logically impossible. A logically impossible thing is not a thing, it's nothing. So for omnipotence to be able to do everything is identical to it being able to do everything possible.I agree with your points. And my conclusion to that is no one can be omnipotent even if it has unlimited power. Because omnipotence means being able to do everything with no exception..
You can have illogical statements but that is a different definition of the word 'illogical'. That is illogical in the sense of 'logically contradictory' and not illogical in the sense of 'not logical'. Nothing that is truly non-logical can exist. A logical contradiction can exist because it's a logical contradiction and not an illogical contradiction. We must not equivocate the definition of illogical to mean 'logically contradictory' with the definition of illogical to mean 'not logical'. Something that is wholly not logical is something that is ultimately not tautological either and thereby contradicts its own definition and can't exist. A statement that is 'illogical' in the sense of 'logically contradictory' can exist because the statement isn't impossible it is merely what it refers to that is impossible.
Nothing can truly be non-illogical and exist. That's why we speak of logical contradictions and not illogical contradictions.
Lets take casting spells for example, normally it has no explaination, its just magic. therefor its illogical. But if there was an explaination of magic( rules etc,) then it would be logically possible but it would require knowledge and power to do it. That means there must be explanations of the actions of a so called omniponent being. And it contradicts with being omnipotent, for it can't do anything that can't be explained... So one can't never be omnipotent even if it has limitless power.

Much as I love the talented Renfrew-born, Edinburgh-based chef Mark Greenaway's food, I can't help a sense of foreboding at his proposal to run workshops for diners on how best to photograph it during service for uploading onto social media.
There's undoubtedly a growing appetite for so-called "food selfies" out there, but the burning question for me is whether hoi-polloi should be encourged in this anti-social practice.
Mr Greenaway rightly points out that amateur flash photography can make food lose all its character, while without a flash it can turn into a dark mush. Tutoring people in how to do it better is merely a signal of his acceptance that this feature of 21st-century restaurant culture is here to stay.
Loading article content
When the chef Claude Bosi started a Twitter campaign to ban photography some years ago, he ended up with egg on his face.
Even so, I'm with the group of French chefs who have their Sabatiers wedged firmly in the "non" camp when it comes to allowing any old Tomas, Richard ou Harold to barge in to their restaurant in the belief they can represent chef's painstakingly created dishes.
Alexandre Gauthier of the Grenouillere in Montreuil is the latest to pronounce on this, and his menus even have a pictogram of a camera with a line through it.
He's got a point: please enjoy my food while it's hot, and Tweet about it afterwards if you want.
"Sitting down for a meal should be an enjoyable moment shared with us, not with the social network," he says.
I must fess up. I have been guilty of hauling out my iPad to snap some of the fabulous dishes I've been privileged to taste - though purely for my own use as aide memoires when reviewing.
I'm cringingly aware of the disturbance I'm causing to other diners, especially as I noisily scrape back my chair to stand up for a better angle. I hesitate to post photographs onto social media because there's nothing more boring than looking at someone else's dinner; and anyway, it's already bloated with them.
I know a blogger who takes two smartphones to a meal: one for its spotlight. Others insist on having their table moved to a brighter spot, or to be given more space, to facilitate photography. Some stand on chairs to get an aerial view of their plates, and even record the waiter's description of the dish.
Time, surely, to put down our phones, pick up our knives and forks, and just enjoy the carpe diem.

I sat on the front porch last night in my new teak rocking chair watching an incredibly majestic sunset.
The sky looked like a piece of Elly MacKay's artwork — as if the clouds were water-colored paper, back-lit in a giant light box. The colors — neon teal to a dull orange — wove in and out of clouds that bellowed like smoke. And in the very middle of the big cloud in front of me was a heart-shaped hole where the most comforting wave of deep pink flooded through. I rocked my new baby and watched the setting sun and later remarked on the Sipping Lemonade Facebook page:
"If I had to name my own 7 wonders of the world, a sleeping baby and a beautiful sunset would be two to of them."
It made me think about how every week is full of small wonders — things that truly make me see the hand of God in the world. As Chesterton says, "I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
Yes: that is the feeling in those moments, sheer gratitude. It's bigger than happiness. It's happiness doubled by wonder.
And even if I never see the The Great Pyramid of Giza or The Hanging Gardens of Babylon — my life will have still been complete having seen the rise and fall of my child's breath on a summer afternoon.
To have watched a storm roll in with a cup of hot coffee.
To have been visited by a friendly amphibian while splashing in a water table.
For surely, it is in these little things that God shows his presence to us every day.
We spend so much of life looking for miracles:
When really, aren't they all around us?

Cats don't always land on their feet
In 1987, New York City's Animal Medical Center did a study of felines that had fallen from tall buildings. Ninety percent of the cats survived; however, most suffered serious injuries. The study also found that cats that fell from heights of 7 to 32 stories were less likely to die than those that fell from 2 to 6 stories. Falling from a one- or two-story building can actually be more dangerous because cats don't have as much time to position their bodies correctly.

A potential burglar caught on surveillance cameras inside a San Diego area church didn't need to steal to get what he wanted, the pastor said.
"My heart goes out to him," Pastor Bill Jenkins. "You've got to be on a low limb to steal from a church."
The Christ United Methodist Church Ministry Center on Meade Avenue houses multiple churches.
The person of interest was first spotted Tuesday around 4 p.m. in the center's cafeteria. He was seen running after reportedly stealing something from the fridge.
Church employees believe the man followed someone into the building. After eluding janitors, the man hid upstairs for about five hours, employees said.
Then, the man was recorded on camera using a flashlight to navigate through the darkness.
"You can see him casing and checking the doors," Pastor Jenkins said watching the video.
He walked to the closet where two speakers, belonging to New Jerusalem Church and valued at $800, were stolen.
That is money that's hard to come by for Pastor Connie Cervante's Normal Heights house of worship.
"It's a small congregation and this is the church's money the congregation gave," Cervante said. "That's what bothers and hurts me."
While police investigated what was missing from the church, employees plastered pictures of the possible suspect on their walls as a warning.
"Hopefully it will be a deterrent to him," said Jeanneta Kramer. "If he sees it, he knows we're aware
of him and everyone knows what he looks like."
Pastor Jenkins said all of this could have been avoided.
"He doesn't need to break in," the pastor explained. "If he needs something let us know."
But one act of good did come out of the unfortunate situation. After hearing about the church's loss, an anonymous man dropped off six donated speakers to New Jerusalem Thursday morning.

MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have named Dan Hawkins their new head coach. Hawkins takes over for Marc Trestman, who was hired as the Chicago Bears head coach last month. Hawkins has big shoes to fill.
Trestman led the Alouettes to consecutive Grey Cup titles in 2009 and '10) and was named the CFL's coach of the year in '09. The 52-year-old Hawkins has never coached in the CFL, but neither had Trestman when he was hired by the Als.
Hawkins does have head-coaching experience at the NCAA level with Boise State and Colorado. While he was just 19-39 at Colorado, Hawkins was 53-11 at Boise State and holds an overall head-coaching record of 112-61-1.
Mike Miller, who served last season as the Arizona Cardinals offensive co-ordinator, will be the Alouettes offensive head coach, offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach. The remainder of Hawkins' staff will be Noel Thorpe (defensive co-ordinator), Ray Rychleski (special-teams co-ordinator), Doug Berry (senior advisor to head coach), Jean-Marc Edme (defensive assistant, football operations assistant), Frank Verducci (offensive line coach), Mark Speckman (running backs coach), Erik Campbell (receivers coach), Keith Willis (defensive line coach), Mark Nelson (linebackers coach) and Ryan Dinwiddie (offensive quality control coach).

I went to Marliave for the first time in a while tonight. I guess everyone else has also not been back in a while. The place was a ghost town. If Marliave does not have a solid afterwork crowd, I don't see how it can stay open much longer. Maybe there are some very deep-pocket backers, but they certainly can't be making too much money these days.
We arrived at 6pm - there were 4 customers in the downstairs, main bar area. We sat at the bar and I had a ridiculously sweet Molasses Flood of 1919.
Two women next to me asked one of the bartenders what St. Germain was. His reply, "It's, uh, this" (as he brought the bottle over to show the women). One woman asked how it tasted. The bartender said "Umm" and then asked the other bartender what the main ingredient was. St. Germain isn't exactly an exotic ingredient these days. Not knowing about the major ingredients in drinks on the menu is unforgivable in my book, especially at a place that bills itself as a serious cocktail bar. Also, for the record, Marliave is NOT a serious cocktail bar by any stretch. I've heard rumors of B-Side alums working some shifts and making great drinks, but I've never had anything other than lackluster drink service.
The three of us decided to grab one of the empty tables to make conversation easier than at the bar. We settled at the bar and moved to a table for some more drinks and food. After an oddly long wait given the lack of customers our waitress arrived.
We asked about the $1 oyster special. She said that we could only get the $1 oyster deal if we sat at one of the bars (by this time the bar had three customers and, including us, six customers at the tables). Huh? We pressed her on it after she returned with drinks. She said she would ask a manager. It worked out. If we had been denied the oyster deal I probably would have hit the floor laughing.
Our food was fine - cheese plate, mussels, oysters, and a pastrami sandwich. Nothing that special, everything was just pretty good.
When we left at 8pm, the crowd was up to about 8. Sad. Not a good sign for a Thursday evening. Marliave is a cool space and has such great potential. Too bad it's full of fail right now.
My lunch trip to Flour was a serious contrast. It was delicious and ridiculously packed. Not everyone is hurting these days.

Stellar introduces DS300 satellite modem
Post a comment
Stellar today announced the introduction and commercial availability of the DS300 satellite modem. The DS300 supports companies in a variety of industries including transportation, heavy equipment, marine and aeronautics that share data over the ORBCOMM low-earth orbit satellite network.
The DS300 is a complete hardware solution for companies using a wide variety of applications to track, monitor and communicate with their fixed and mobile assets around the world.
"Stellar has long recognized the need to achieve multiple market objectives by offering top quality products that meet the highest industry standards at the lowest market price," Zvi Huber, general manager for Stellar Satellite Communications, said. "The DS300 is the first programmable, GPS-enabled modem to be offered for less than $200 for use on the ORBCOMM satellite network. Delphi's reputation for quality in the automotive industry and their world-class manufacturing combined with Stellar's 12 years of product development expertise, means we anticipate the DS300 will become a market leader."
Features of the DS300 include an integrated user-programmable application processor, built-in 12-channel GPS receiver, several I/O options, power conditioning and battery charging circuitry packaged in a rugged, automotive-grade enclosure. Stellar is also offering a DS300 developer kit to help new users rapidly develop applications, while reducing time to market.
"We are excited and pleased to provide the hardware for the Stellar DS300," said Beth Schwarting, Delphi Electronics & Safety general director of sales and marketing. "The DS300 combines a globally competitive price with a robust design and unique features and functions that we believe will make it attractive to customers."
The DS300 has received type approval from ORBCOMM and the FCC to operate on the ORBCOMM network. It has also met the rigorous performance and reliability standards of Delphi products. It is also approved by the Mexican government, and is in the final stages of ETSI testing in Europe.
The DS300 is the second in a series of modems to be jointly developed by Stellar and Delphi. This unit follows the DS100 model introduced this past June to meet the needs of the remote monitoring and tracking markets. The DS300 is available at a cost of under $200.

2008 Jeep Liberty SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Good, But Not Great
By Samuel on
Vehicle2008 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
ReviewOur 2008 Liberty Limited is our second Liberty. We traded in a 2003 Liberty Sport that we drove for 5 years and 50,000 miles without a single problem. We wanted a fully loaded Liberty and the end of year rebates plus lifetime powertrain warranty were too tempting to resist. The 2008 feels a little more "grownup" than our '03 and although it has the same engine does not feel as quick. The mileage, never particularly good on our '03, is even worse on the '08. It has been to the shop for minor things such as a 4WD warning light that wouldn't go off, a defective bow that caused a wind leak on the Skyslider top, and a hood prop rod that came off in my hand.
Best FeaturesSkyslider roof is great on sunny days. MyGig entertainment system with navigation gives the driver a lot of listening alternatives. Winter traction with SelecTrac 2 is second to none.
Worst FeaturesFuel mileage could stand some improvement. Quality control is not as good as on my '03 Liberty although I've only had minor problems so far.
