If you need a great set of PC speakers for movies and games, then the Z5500s should be a prime candidate. For music lovers they may not be the first choice, but their strong performance all around means they cannot be ignored.
As well as dominating the computer peripherals market, Logitech are one of the premiere manufacturers of PC speakers. The Z5500 is their flagship model, offering full 5.1 surround sound for your PC. Don't be mistaken however, this unit can be connected to a DVD player, iPod or virtually any other kind of input, and fulfils the basic functions of a proper home theatre system.
Being a 5.1 system, the Z5500 comes with a full five surround speakers plus an enormous subwoofer and a small receiver. We thought the unit looked very sophisticated. Rather than a side on, home entertainment unit, the receiver is a vertical control system, suitable for a PC setup. It has a small, monochrome LED which displays all the system information and is more than sufficient for such a system. The subwoofer on the other hand is a gigantic cube balancing this nicely. It is larger than most home theatre subs however, so you'll need to take that into account if working in a space constrained environment. As we stated, this system can easily be used as a home theatre setup, however the speakers themselves may not fit well with a lounge room motif. Logitech have gone some way to remedying this, offering dark speaker netting with the package, but we still thought they ultimately looked a little out of place.
Of course the setup is primarily made to be a computer unit, and it succeeds in that regard with flying colours. We found the sound to be absolutely perfect for a gaming and movie PC. Something many companies fail to understand is that when you're gaming, you want one thing: bass! When you're crouched in a trench with shells falling all around you, bass makes the difference between feeling like being pelted with pea shooters and fighting for your life. When your sound has impact you really become immersed in the game. The Z5500s exemplify this perfectly. The default bass level is absolutely crunching; the most prominent element of the sound by far. It doesn't drown out the other elements, but is rather pushed to the front. The result? Cracking gun shots and ridiculously powerful explosions.
Whilst this sound was absolutely fantastic for games and movies, we found it a little lacking for music. The heavy bass levels really coloured the sound in pretty much everything we tried. Turning down the bass helped, but it was really a case of all or nothing. When songs by Ben Folds and Tori Amos start to sound bass heavy you know there's a problem. Still the quality of the sound with the bass lowered was above average, with great presentation of the mid range and highs that perhaps just verge on being harsh. If you're happy fiddling with the system between sessions then it will still perform quite well for music.
The highlight of the system was definitely the surround sound. On a par with the majority of more expensive 5.1 home theatre systems, the beautiful three dimensional presentation of sound on the Z5500s was exquisite. Planes zoomed in from off screen, transitioning perfectly across the individual speakers, and there was great separation of each sound. This was particularly noticeable with our music, even in stereo mode the front three speakers really brought out a lot of definition in the songs. Overall the Z5500's performed fantastically in our sound tests.
Its performance in the home theatre arena was similarly impressive. It sports a nice range of surround modes including DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital and both Prologic I and II, which is a robust offering for a set of PC speakers. There are also options to alter bass, treble and surround volumes, which allow you to tweak the sound to your tastes and make up for some of the system's short fallings.
The receiver has a few connection options, including a split stereo cable and both optical and co-axial ports. There are obviously no video connections as this is purely an audio setup, but at this price it is more than worth the money.

I hate football. I've always hated it. My father was a football fanatic. He played at West Point. The Army-Navy game was our annual sacred pilgrimage. The train trip to Philadelphia definitely had its appeal. Win or lose, there wasn't a dry mouth in the house. But God forbid Army lost. Things would be gloomy around our Army quarters for weeks.
Happily, I ended up at a school for girls and then an all-women's college and then moved to Europe, so I didn't think about football for a long time. But when I moved back to Washington, D.C. and started dating a Redskins fan, I was sucked in to the game all over again.
I didn't mind so much this time. It was actually fun. Sunday afternoons in his group house there was always a big bowl of chili and a gang of friends and the girls I would hang out in the kitchen, gossiping. Even so, the noise, the relentless chanting of the crowds, the referees' announcements, the shrieks and groans of the men watching—it all really got on my nerves. And the conversations afterward? The rehash from a group of supposedly intelligent journalists was appalling.
I once said to my frustrated boyfriend that liking football was like believing in God. If you couldn't, you couldn't.
Then I met my current husband.
We fell in love in the spring. No mention of football. No encomiums about the beloved "Skins." Ah, I thought. The ideal man.
Boy, was I wrong. Not only was Ben Bradlee more dedicated than my father, but his best friend, super lawyer Edward Bennett Williams, actually owned the Washington Redskins. Ben went to every home game and sat in Fast Eddie's box. What was I to do? I could either give up my Sundays with Ben or go along to the games.
I chose to go. I was the only girl, carpooling to the old RFK Stadium with the guys as they bonded by insulting each other on the way.
The owner's box was small, simple, with concrete floors and foldup chairs. Eddie was a devout Catholic, and he filled the front row with Catholic priests. There was always much grumbling among the guys about that, but Ed was never one to hedge his bets.
I was always fascinated by the priests. They were the most avid fans of all. They had been at mass Sunday morning, and now they were confronted by fans worshipping football gods like Joe Gibbs and Sunny Jurgensen.
Many of the players were religious. They were always (as they do now) praying in the locker rooms at the half to win. How could God possibly choose?
I have to admit that I really enjoyed those Sundays. There was a camaraderie and a spirit in that box that didn't exist anywhere else in our lives. Everyone had high powered, even crushing jobs. We were in the middle of Watergate. My husband was the editor of the Washington Post. I was a reporter. Football was a way to empty the mind and be part of a community. We might actually call it meditation today.
Ben went over the line at one point. We were married on Friday, October 20, the most sparkling fall day you could imagine. We had decided to take our actual honeymoon in the Caribbean at Christmastime, but to drive up to our very rustic log cabin in West Virginia for a long weekend after the ceremony. We had courted there, secretly, before it became known we were together. It was a remote place on a wild river in the mountains with no TV and a phone that only occasionally worked. What bliss!
You can imagine my shock when Ben announced Sunday morning that we'd better get going early or he would miss the game. "What game?" I asked, incredulously. "The Redskins game," he replied, incredulously. It became clear to me where his priorities lay. I'll never get over it.
But that's what religion will do to you.
Then suddenly everything changed for the Redskins. Eddie sold half the team to Jack Kent Cooke, who moved here from California. He immediately expanded the size of the box, put in fancy chairs and carpeting, and hired waiters in black ties to serve little tea sandwiches on doilies and silver trays. It didn't go over so well with the guys. The place lost its soul. The magic and mystery of the gang, the transcendent feeling of the stadium when we scored, it all went up in a puff of smoke. It was over.
For many years now, Ben has watched the games at home. I never do. Given what we know today about how serious the injuries can be, there are serious moral and religious questions for people watching enthusiastically while others are being hurt. And I don't think the 'Skins, despite some great players and some great coaches, have ever been able to recapture the spirit they had when Ed Williams owned them. When I hear the roar of the crowds on TV from the next room or hear Ben exclaim over a good or bad play, I feel a longing for what we once had.
When my father was dying at Walter Reed Army hospital, Ben and I went to see him on his last day alive. He was semi-delirious, but all he wanted to do was watch football with Ben. The Buffalo Bills were playing. I don't remember the other team, but my father's fighting name on the front lines during the Korean War was Buffalo Bill. He thought the game was being played for him, and he and Ben cheered and screamed and roared at every play as if their lives depended on it.
When the game was over, Ben left the hospital and I stayed with my father and held his hand until he died in the early hours of the morning. He seemed totally satisfied that they had played one for the Gipper. Though he was religious, Daddy didn't pray as he drifted into a coma. He just kept talking about the game.
I still hate football. But I finally understand it.

 On my wish list:

 "Proper" threading by <c>In-Reply-To:</c> header and message IDs (or, if <c>In-Reply-To:</c> is missing, by <c>References:</c> header), i.e. not only pseudo-threading by subject (though an optional fallback to the latter would be useful, in case the other info is not available (some people do reply to mails by composing a new message...).

 Then, in addition to sorting-by-thread, a way to specify an auxiliary sort, for example by date, or date-of-most-recent-message-in-thread. IOW, I want to be able to configure by what the threads themselves are ordered by. This would allow me to have the most relevant stuff in a folder within my immediate field of view.

 For example, in [http://www.mutt.org/|mutt] (a MUA with a purely text-based UI), I can easily achieve this by configuring <c>set sort=threads</c> and <c>set sort_aux=last-date-received</c>. I have yet to find this functionality in any webmail application (though I, admittedly, haven't tried all of them).

 Of course, I also want to fold/unfold (or open/close, show/hide... whatever) individual threads, and be able to apply operations like delete, save, move, etc. to entire threads...

 Another thing - though probably not all that important in the CRM environment - would be proper handling of replies to mailing lists. Essentially that means being able to easily reply to the list-address only (without having to delete addresses of original author and any Cc:s), while honoring <c>Mail-Followup-To:</c> header.

 And, while we're at it: decent response times (so I don't have to wait 5+ secs after each and every click!).

 What, too difficult to implement? You asked for my Dream WebMail App, so there you are. No complaints please! :)

Kathlyn Ailene Austin, best known as Kaky, passed away Thursday, July 10, with her four daughters and husband Jack by her side. Kaky was born January 30, 1929, in Eagle Rock, Calif. She grew up in the Los Angeles area where she raised her family until her husband's business took them to the rural area of Fallbrook, Calif.
Kaky was an energetic and exuberant mother, sister and wife, involving herself in the community, schools, and her children's after-school activities. Kaky was the Girl Scout leader, the PTA president, and the lead singer in every school fundraiser. She was the first to volunteer when the need arose, and was always there for her children.
Kathlyn married Richard S. Spanjian in 1949 and raised four daughters and one son. The couple later divorced. Kaky married her second husband, Jack Austin, in 1984 and settled in the Danish town of Solvang, Calif., nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Kaky was an avid gardener and surrounded herself with flowers. She loved to travel and spent many happy years RVing with Jack. She was also an avid member of her hiking group with whom she explored the picturesque landscapes of the area. Kaky even hiked the Himalayas at age 70.
Kaky and Jack moved to the Rogue Valley Manor in Medford, Ore., in 2004, where several of their friends from the Santa Ynez area had settled. Her life was filled with her love of family and friends.
Kaky is survived by her spouse, Jack Austin; her four daughters, Charlee Smith and her husband Bruce of Boise, Idaho; Kristin Spanjian and her husband Ray Gilbertson of Billings, Mont.; Beth Stewart of Union, Ore.; Julie Peha and her husband Larry of Hermosa Beach, Calif.; her stepdaughter, Ellen Johnson, and her husband Scott of Newport Coast, Calif.; her stepson, Jack Austin, Jr. of Los Angeles; and her dear friend, Maria Soghomonian. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren, Sarkis, Michael and Jacqueline Peha; Madeleine Smith; Kate, Brooke and Chase Stewart; and her step-grandchild Jeremy Johnson.
She was preceded in death by her son, Sarkis, in 1977; her sister, Shirley Kratka; her brother, Charles Kratka; and her parents, Charles and Charlotte Kratka.

There's no doubt the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) supporters and participants know how to put on a car show. Well, this year, the 2009 SEMA show is going to be no exception. With a plethora of Ford Mustang customizations to be on-hand, every blue-blood is sure to have a skip in his or her step while at the show. Key players such as Steeda, 3dCarbon, Galpin Autosports, and even Vaugh Gittin are going to bring their best-dressed (and performing) Mustangs to Las Vegas to show you just what Ford is made of. Capitalizing the most popular car in the aftermarket industry isn't just about flipping a dollar; it's about making the Legend live on. Got tickets to the SEMA show running November 3rd – 6th? If so, awesome. If not, keep reading to get just a small sampling of what you're going to miss out on seeing firsthand.

Ford Racing announces 2010 BOSS 302R Mustang
With just under two weeks to go until the 2009 SEMA show, Ford decided to tease us all with an excerpt regarding the return of the infamous 5.0-liter Mustang. Word of the 2010 Ford Racing Boss 302R spread fast late this week…and rightly so. This 400hp special edition throwback to the muscle era is a race-inspired pony car well poised to assault the aggregate at any raceway. The Boss 302R will come in its base form with a sticker price of $79,000 while its upgraded sibling, tweaked with a Grand-Am Homologation package, will post a price of $129,000 for those Mustang racers looking to get into the KONI Challenge series. There's not a plethora of "official" details (let alone imagery) released yet and Ford is being intentionally vague here, but keep reading to check out the official dealership notice sent out to let everyone know what's coming at SEMA 2009.
Unexpected Turn – a Ford Mustang Unleashed story
A faithful following seems to make a legend all the more enticing and solid. The fans (and freaks) behind the Ford Mustang never cease to amaze us with their stories of adventure, triumph, and awesomeness. One such story on the heartwarming side, is of Joseph Cram (Hot Rod Joe to his friends) and his father, Ralph Cram. They had always longed to take their rebuilt 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe out on the open roads of the USA for a grand father-son event to remember.
Then the economy took an unexpected turn. Joe and his father were forced to part with their beloved '68 Mustang and left behind a gaping hole in their hearts. Now, 16 years after the prior departure, Joe and Ralph were given the chance to take a road trip from Houston to Detroit to take part in the renowned Woodward Dream Cruise, rolling down the roadways in a 2010 Mustang convertible. Keep reading to check out the Cram's story, as it's just one of many epic Mustang chronicles in the series of Ford's "The 2010 Unleashed" program. More official details and other stories can be read & seen at the2010mustang.com.
UPDATED: Sneak Peek at the 2010 Mustang for NASCAR
In case you've been under a rock and missed the news the first time around, the Ford Mustang is set to join the NASCAR racing series in the 2010 season. The 2010 Mustang trimmed out for the NASCAR Nationwide Series will run in at least four races as part of a new car rollout program. Tomorrow, Jack Roush (of Roush Fenway Racing) will officially announce and unveil the 2010 Mustang race car. Not long after the unveiling, a test run by Colin Braun is set to come about on November 2nd at Talladega. Better catch it while you can this fall, because it will be a while before you'll see it on the track next July at Daytona International Speedway in Florida. There's more in store behind the car, so be sure to check out fordracing.com for more details.
UPDATE 10/13/09: Check out some slick video footage inside!
2010 Saleen S281 Ford Mustang exposed
Back in late July, we saw the latest of the fledgling Saleen Performance Vehicles Mustang specimens, the Saleen 435S. Now, the Saleen Performance crew has teased exhibited the 2010 Saleen S281 Ford Mustang well ahead of the official debut scheduled at the SEMA show this fall in Las Vegas. There's nothing absolutely watershed about the car's styling and panache, but there is one silver lining in the cloud cover overhead; the highly-questionable rear of the 2010 Saleen S281 has been touched up quite nicely with a lengthened tail and diffuser-esque rear valance. There isn't a whole lot out for details right now, so check back with us around SEMA time when we expect the full scoop to be in circulation as result of this Ford Mustang specialty car being on exhibition.
One Step Closer to the next Ford Mustang powertrain
The rumors surrounding the next power plant for the Ford Mustang have been rolling about for what seems like nearly a decade. Wait, it has been over five years of non-stop enthusiast & fanatic conjecture! The updated S197 platform got a minor tweak to the 4.6-liter V8 and the 2010 Ford Mustang received a bit more power from the increased tuning and efficiencies laid forth by Ford Motor Company, leaving everyone asking for more. So…what's next? The Coyote? Boss? EcoBoost? If we had to hedge our bets today, we would likely place some good money on the latter of the aforementioned trio. Back in August, we told you about the renewed focus in advancing the power & efficiency of the current engine collection across the entire fleet, with downsizing displacement and forced induction being the primary method. This Ford technical evolution spurred along by Alan Mulally and the team has certainly got a few people's interest piqued, to say the least. To help boost some of the excitement surrounding the turbo charged line-up, specifically the EcoBoost V6 engine, Ford has launched a new website to further exhibit the true nature of the new turbocharged powertrain species and just what they are capable of. This comes straight from the vine of Ford's Communications group, so get in, sit down, and hang on…the ride continues at www.6versus8.com!
Brothers Performance East Grand Opening
If you're a Ford Mustang fan in the Southeastern region of the United States, then you have yet another place to stop by and check out for tuning, testing, and customizing. Brothers Performance has officially opened up their brand new 64,000 sq ft facility in Deland, FL, right on Interstate 4. Well placed just minutes from Daytona Beach or Orlando, this new, fully-stocked shop is poised to serve a plethora of Mustang enthusiasts in the region. This new Eastern location compliments their original California shop located in Corona, CA. Expect the same service level from the East-side as you would the West! Check out more details in the Press Release.
Video of the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang on the strip
Mere months ago, we were excited at the fact Ford would let the Cobra Jet Mustang roll on into 2010 with the new model's release. Now, we are able to see some testing firsthand via some slick video footage of the 2010 Cobra Jet at a test-n-tune trial. The famous Milan Dragway in Michigan was the host site for the drag session and from what we can tell, the weather was absolutely perfect. A new supercharger (a la Whipple), packing a 3.4-liter punch, is set atop the 5.4-liter V8 power plant in order to bolster up the pony car's pulling ability beyond that of its predecessor. Also, aside from the Ford photos and this video, we haven't seen a real good close-up of the car to give it a fan's eye…perhaps we'll get the chance to do so at the official debut of the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang at SEMA this November. Until that happens, we'll have to be satisfied with this video of the 2010 Cobra Jet roaring down the quarter-mile path.
Consumer Reports Rates Ford Mustang above Camaro, Challenger
By now, we've all seen the reports on the recent three-month streak for 2010 Ford Mustang sales and how they stack up to the new Chevrolet Camaro…big whoop. After the novelty wears off, the market will likely wise up once again, as they'll realize just how high-quality a product the Ford Mustang really is. Despite the recent disparate sales figures, the revamped 2010 Mustang has taken out the competition yet again the modern-day pony car wars. Consumer Reports has rated the new Ford Mustang GT as "Very Good" with a score of 78 points, while the Chevrolet Camaro SS achieved a score of "Very Good", but only managed to rack up 71 points. The Dodge Challenger R/T skidded by with a "Good" rating and a mere 53 points overall. Now, we all know that numbers and ratings are one thing, but seriously, get out there and drive a new 2010 Mustang, a Camaro SS, and a Challenger and see for yourself: the new Mustang is refined, yet powerful. It's elegant, yet robust, and can even be considered rude when woken up.
Keep reading to get the Full Monty in the Press Release featuring the Consumer Reports review.
Ford Motor Company from a personal perspective
It's not every day we get "good" news. It's not every day we see large corporations truly care about those they serve. It's far easier for an automotive junkie to remain skeptical in times of new enthusiast cars like the 2010 Ford Mustang & and the 2010 Taurus SHO entering the scene when the skies are black with doom and gloom. Then again, if we step back with a fresh perspective and really approach something with the hope of learning, we might just see there are some people out there sincerely trying (and succeeding) to make a difference.
We stumbled onto a personal reflection about Ford Motor Company and how they were perceived…and how they are perceived now. Take a look and read for yourself.

December 15, Micah 5:2
By Kathy Scott, Baptist General Convention of Missouri Board Member
Game Boy Advance game — only a couple inches in size but occupies a young person for many hours of fun.
An engagement ring — in a very small box but brings great meaning for a future together.
A newborn baby — only a few pounds at birth yet brings much joy to a family.
As Christmas season approaches, one project in which our family gets involved is Operation Christmas Child. We shop for little things to put into our box to be shipped overseas to a child who otherwise may not receive any gifts at Christmas. We choose a child the age of one of our boys. As we pack the box, we talk about how this child, who has very little, will open the box and be excited and surprised at what is inside. I even get excited to think that our little box could be important to a young child, to give him a happy Christmas.
God, through the prophet Micah, reminded Israel that He hadn't forgotten His promise to David. The promised Messiah would come from David's lineage. From Bethlehem — a humble village, one of the smallest places in Israel, a community of shepherds — would come Jesus, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.
God doesn't forget His promises. He fulfills them to an even greater extent than we could ever believe.
This Christmas season, don't miss the big and wonderful gifts that may come in small packages. Indeed this wonderful and blessed promise did come in a very small package and from an obscure place. Worship Jesus this season as if you are meeting Him, the humble babe, for the very first time.

How can you sleep when the Coriolis force is pulling your upper and lower body in different directions?
jjmcgaffey Jan 9th 2014 at 12:26 am 2
He's one of those people who develop irrational worries, she's pointing out it's irrational (not that that will help). Notice the palm tree outside the window, I suspect they're in Africa or South America - and somewhere directly on the equator. Which happens to pass through their house, and through their bed. Which is worrying him until he can't sleep…does that help any? Chas was good at presenting odd situations and much odder responses to them.
Usual John Jan 9th 2014 at 01:24 am 3
What jjmcgaffey and Treesong said. These are British colonialists in Kenya, or possibly Uganda (any other possibilities?), and they haven't been there very long; probably this is their first night. There are plenty of reasons to be unable to sleep but, consciously or unconsciously, the man is blaming it on being on the equator, rather than the more plausible causes.

As a child I watched an episode of "People's Choice" (Jackie Cooper, et al) which had him running for political office with district boundary running through the house, requiring him to "live" in just that part of the house to establish eligibility. Obviously, that has remained an issue of concern to me through the intervening decades. It bothers me.
But trying to sleep in a bed that straddled the equator would probably bother me more. I might try it a time or two just for the sake of adventure - but getting a good night's sleep seems unlikely.
Move the bed.

how can you adjust the bedding, when it's summer on one end and winter on the other?
Tom T. Jan 9th 2014 at 08:01 am 7
I think it depends on how often the equator passes through the bed.
Bob in Nashville Jan 9th 2014 at 08:32 am 8
When I read it, I assumed that the equator passed through the bed so that she was in the Northern Hemisphere and he was in the Southern Hemisphere.
As for why that would keep anyone awake, I got nothing.
Bob in Nashville Jan 9th 2014 at 08:37 am 9
Wait a minute. It's too hot to sleep because they're on the equator.
fj Jan 9th 2014 at 09:28 am 10
In addition to the troubling Coriolis effect, how can you sleep when it's summer where your head is and winter where your feet are? Plus, every thing is moving so fast: 33% faster than in NYC.

At least it's not the International Date Line.
PepperjackCandy Jan 9th 2014 at 12:24 pm 12
Like Bob in Nashville, I was thinking that the equator passed through the other way, so that he and she were in different hemispheres. My guess was that he had it in his head that this made her too far from him for him to be able to rest.
mitch4 Jan 9th 2014 at 12:39 pm 13
It's interesting to see the specifications / ramifications people are coming up with. Personally, I didn't feel it needed anything along the lines of what he's thinking or whether there are any real consequences. I just took it as just what we might today think of as a mild case of OCD — he's creeped out by envisioning a major geographic albeit invisible / imaginary line running right past them.
Mark d Jan 9th 2014 at 01:30 pm 14
I had Mitch4's take on the cartoon. The man was taking the equator( a measurement) literally by turning it into an object something like an invisible fence.

If it's 1936 he doesn't have a smartphone or GPS. How does he know the equator passes through the bed?
I don't blame him. I couldn't sleep either, with an imaginary lion running through my bed, scaring the sheep away.
Elyrest Jan 9th 2014 at 02:46 pm 17
In 1936 there was a lot that happened: it was between WWI & II, the depression was continuing, the Berlin Summer Olympics, a US Presidential election, The Spanish Civil War, Edward VIII abdicates the throne, the Dust Bowl wipes out whole areas, NY Yankees d. NY Giants (4-2) in the World Series, Helen Jacobs and Fred Perry won at Wimbledon, "Gone With The Wind" is published, Boulder Dam is completed, etc. Most of it wasn't life-shattering though for the average American who would be likely to read The New Yorker. These people felt that they were erudite, sophisticated, and maybe just a little bored with their worlds. So they took off to the ends of the world for some excitement. They easily would be attracted to South America as it was featured in many 1930's films - notably 1933's "Flying Down to Rio" with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. This man is full of so much ennui that what excites and worries him is the thought of the equator passing anywhere near him. Charles Addams does this in an almost tongue in cheek manner. I like it.

Tom T. @#6: "I think it depends on how often the equator passes through the bed."
So often you won't even notice.

abwx, when we were looking for our first house, we were shown one that straddled two towns. One bedroom was in a town with a good school system, and one bedroom was in a town that did not. If we slept in the bedroom with a good school system, our family would legally live in that town — but nobody could assure us that our children would be allowed to go to school in that town, because it was a legal gray area (the current owners were childless).
Fortunately the back yard was too small, so we didn't have to deal with it.

abwx, I'm so pleased to see somebody else remembers "The People's Choice"!
A couple years ago I looked it up on IMDB to leave a question on the comment board there (which I see remains unanswered). I also read around some in that message board and the IMDB user reviews, and came across a review whose content (about the man comedic premise) I found myself thoroughly agreeing with, but written in an irritating mealy-mouthed way …. Then I checked the attributions and saw I had posted that comment, back in 2004.
Mark in Boston Jan 10th 2014 at 10:42 pm 23
Well, I vaguely remember from grammar school that the Equator is a menagerie lion running around and around the earth, so of COURSE you can't sleep when a menagerie lion is running over your bed again and again.

In Petticoat Junction they find out that Betty Jo's bedroom is in Pixly, so she can't play ball for the Hooterville team.

"In Petticoat Junction they find out that Betty Jo's bedroom is in Pixly, so she can't play ball for the Hooterville team."
If I remember correctly she switched bedrooms with either Billy Jo or Bobby Jo and all was fine in Hooterville.

Hmm. I was going to suggest that it's not a major concern so long as the distinction can't be observed without using functions specific to floating point values, since that preserves consistent behavior for polymorphic functions, but... that's not true, because the sign is preserved when dividing by zero! So we currently have the following behavior: 0 == (-0) = True 1/0 == 1/(-0) = False signum (-0) = 0.0 signum (1/0) = 1.0 signum (1/(-0)) = -1.0 All of which is, I believe, completely correct according to IEEE semantics, but seems to cause very awkward problems for any sensible semantics of Haskell's type classes. ...sigh. >> which is correct and shouldn't break any expected behavior. >> I don't think it's required that distinguishable values be unequal, > > But desirable, IMO. I'm ambivalent. I can see it making sense for truly equivalent values, where there's a reasonable expectation that anything using them should give the same answer, or when there's a clearly-defined normal form that values may be reduced to. But as demonstrated above, this isn't the case with signed zeros if Num is available as well as Eq. >> I still don't see why it makes sense to add separate IEEE comparisons > > Pure and simple: speed. > That is what the machine instructions, and hence the primops, deliver. Oh, I assume the IEEE operations would be available no matter what, possibly as separate operations monomorphic to Float and Double, that they'd be used to define the partial ordering instance, and could be imported directly from some appropriate module. But as it turns out the partial ordering isn't valid anyway, so I retract this whole line of argument. >> Ah, yes, wherein someone suggested that comparing to NaN should be a >> runtime error rather than give incorrect results. A strictly more >> correct approach, but not one I find satisfactory... > > Umm, 'more correct' only in some sense. Definitely unsatisfactory. More correct in the very narrow sense of producing fewer incorrect answers, according to Haskell semantics. :] That it would produce fewer answers in general and a great deal more bottoms is another matter. Certainly not useful, and in fact actively counterproductive given that the whole purpose of silent NaNs is to allow computations to proceed without handling exceptions at every step along the way. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the only strictly coherent approach in the overall scheme of things would be to banish floating point values from most of the standard libraries except where they can be given correct implementations according to Haskell semantics, and instead provide a module (not re-exported by the Prelude) that gives operations using precise IEEE semantics and access to all the expected primops and such. As you said above, the importance of floating point values is for speed, and the IEEE semantics are designed to support that. So I'm happy to consider floats as purely a performance optimization that should only be used when number crunching is actually a bottleneck. Let Rational be the default fractional type instead and save everyone a bunch of headaches. - C.

John Ferguson pulled no punches when asked about the ailing state of his wafer-thin defence corps last night.
"The competition for the jobs may turn into the survival of the fittest," the Maple Leafs general manager said bluntly after seeing his team skate to an impressive 5-1 pre-season victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
Just two hours earlier, Ferguson had watched young Staffan Kronwall writhing in pain on the Air Canada Centre ice after sliding awkwardly into the boards. The towering Swede was helped to the dressing room where he was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle.
While the news could have been much worse, Kronwall will not accompany the team for games in Montreal against the Canadiens tonight and to Halifax for an exhibition tilt versus the Ottawa Senators tomorrow. Instead, he will remain behind in Toronto where he'll be re-evaluated over the weekend.
With nicked-up defencemen Pavel Kubina and Tomas Kaberle also not making the trip, young blue-liners Ian White, Jay Harrison, Andy Wozniewski and Brendan Bell will get even more audition time during the team's swing through eastern Canada.
"These are the types of challenges you face," Ferguson said. "If you have some depth, you can get through it."
At the beginning of training camp, White, Harrison, Wozniewski, Bell, Kronwall and Carlo Colaiacovo were said to be vying for Nos. 5 through 7 slots on the blue line. Now, with Kronwall temporarily hobbled and Colaiacovo suffering headaches, the door is open for the remaining four.
"It seems to be a curse to be a defenceman in this organization the past two years, what with all the injuries," said White, who was named the game's second star last night. "Guys are dropping like flies but hopefully none are serious. I don't think they are.
"In the meantime, we have a couple of more chances to show what we've got."
The diminutive White, to his credit, has made an impact just one week into camp. He was part of an effective power-play unit last night that also included McCabe, Mats Sundin, Darcy Tucker and Kyle Wellwood.
That quintet produced a pair of goals with the man advantage in the game's first 3:06, with Tucker and Sundin doing the honours to give the Leafs an early 2-0 lead.
Wellwood, one of the craftier players on the ice, finished with a pair of assists and worked well with Sundin.
"A little bit is confidence," Wellwood said. "But you are also expected to make a little bit of a leap.
"The power play is an important aspect. We just hope to have the same power play success we had last year."
The Leafs were among the league leaders in power play goals with 107 during the 2005-06 season.

Les Stroud's arsenal of survival know-how has gotten him through some risky terrestrial escapades on his "Survivorman" series, but as Shark Week's underwater anchor he discovered you can't just roll with the punches.
Sometimes you have to throw a punch yourself - exactly what Stroud did during the filming of "Shark Feeding Frenzy," casting a right hook into the snout of a Caribbean reef shark that had mistaken his hand for a meal.
The shark special, one of eight new programs to air during Discovery Channel's 20th-anniversary marine spotlight, gave Stroud the ultimate hands-on experiment: Find out what the big fish likes for dinner.
Luckily for Stroud, the punchy defense mechanism worked.
The shark swam away, leaving him with only minor cuts and bruises where the predator's teeth had torn through the protective chain mail that wrapped his wet suit.
Stroud, who likened the reef shark's bite to that of a German shepherd, credits the reflexive punch to his ability to remain cool in dicey situations.
"The best way to stay calm is having that understanding that, in truth, the majority of predators don't want anything to do with you," Stroud said.
"They are afraid of being injured. You injure their jaw, they can't get food. They understand that," he said.
Punching a shark's snout, which can stun its sensory ability to detect a prey's electric current, is one of the safety tips loaded into this year's survival-themed week.
Shark Week, initiated in 1988 and watched by more than 19 million viewers last year, is cable television's longest-running event.
Discovery Channel general manager Jane Root, citing the great white rogue of the 1975 movie "Jaws" as the pilot of mainstream shark mania, said curiosity and excitement about the carnivorous creatures continue to surge.
"There's always a moment when you think, 'How much more can you say about sharks?' but they are these astonishing predators from another era that swim around the world," Root said. "There's something very primal about sharks that is both very frightening and intriguing."
Sunday's two-hour "Ocean of Fear: Worst Shark Attack Ever" (9 p.m.) launches Discovery's slate of new specials.
The story, centering on the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis into the shark-infested Pacific, is narrated by "Jaws" actor Richard Dreyfuss.
Other less grisly premieres cover shark evolution, shark hypnosis and a New Guinea tribe's ancient "shark whispering" ritual. Viewer-selected encores of past years' favorite shows round out the channel's 130 hours of programming.
"Is 20 years enough time to end our fascination?" Stroud said. "Probably not. It'll probably take another 20 years."

//More Than 'Mindless Eating Machines'//
(c) 2007, The Washington Post
Andy Dehart, the general manager of Washington's National Aquarium and a tiger shark specialist appearing on Tuesday's "Shark Feeding Frenzy," said Shark Week's two decades of educational entertainment have infiltrated the mindset of visitors to the aquarium.
"People have come up and said, 'I saw this on Shark Week. Is this true?'" Dehart said. "It's always a trip to hear an 8 year old telling her dad about sharks."
The National Aquarium in Washington houses three species of sharks and hosts weekly shark talks. The aquarium will conduct its annual Shark Day, complete with a dig for fossilized shark teeth, on Aug. 11.
Besides busting the myth that sharks are only "mindless eating machines," Dehart said he hopes the educational outreach of the aquarium and programs such as Shark Week will aid efforts against such threats to the shark population as overfishing and finning.
"These animals are ambassadors," Dehart said. "People are not going to care about something they don't know. The more people care about any animal, the more they are going to do to protect them." End adv wknd July 28-29

So- I planted some carrot seeds back in January and now it's somehow May already! I have them in mostly full sun (at least 6+ hours) but they are in a slightly alkaline soil that tends to have more clay than sand consistancy. They have wonderful foliage, about a foot and a half at this point, BUT I've yet to see anything like an actually carrot top poking above the soil. They're Danver's #126. On the seed packet it says 70 to 80 days maturity, but we all know how that goes....I don't want to disturb the plant if it's still growing, but at the same time I know if I leave them in the ground too long they can get woody. Anyone else in the North Gulf Coast growing carrots and having luck?
How do your carrots grow?
I run my finger around the stem where it meets the soil to see how big the carrot top is. If I think it's big enough, I pull it, while trying not to disturb the carrot neighbors. If it turns out to be too small, I toss it to the dog - she loves carrots.
In my clay soil, I find "short-n-sweet" does well.
HoneyBee, I wonder if *all* dogs love carrots -- I had to put a fence up mainly to keep the dogs out, as they would dig the carrots (and pick the pole beans) otherwise!
Otherwise, yes, lots of variable with carrots, such as water supply and so on; you really just have to check them. Danvers and Nantes are my favorite varieties. The good thing with carrots is you can start pulling some when they're little to use in salads or for munching, then pull bigger ones as they mature. (Not a real rocket science vegetable!)
Thanks for the advice. Some dogs like carrots? Weird!
Talk to Sapphirestar19.
She grew some HUMONGOUSLY BEAUTIFUL carrots this past season, here in Houston. She planted seeds in mid-September...
I know...I ate one...!
So after my last post I went and very carefully started removing some of the dirt from around the biggest carrot and it looks like it has a top that's about the diameter of a nickel so I think I'm going to let them all go a bit longer and time it to pull the first one up at the same time my first tomatto is ripe :) Should be in the next two weeks.
I'll have to try offering a carrot to a dog, that just seems so odd....but then again I do have a cat that likes to lick cantaloupe and strawberries....
neworleansdude - It depends on which type of carrot you sowed - but take a look at carrots in the store, and when your tops look the same - pull one up :)
You'll soon know how large to let the tops grow before you pull them - and if some get too large, you can leave them alone. They'll put up a seed head (the following year I believe) and you'll have free carrots! The flowers are very pretty.
I grow mine in plastic containers. They are not a good crop for an impatient gardener.
I planted mine in early March and I checked a few of them today. They're about the size of my pinkie.
Linda, you make a girl blush... I grew Vitana last fall in raised beds and replanted this March. I checked them the other day and found some slim ones about the size of my pinkie. 1lisac is right, not a good crop for the impatient gardener. :) My fall carrots-September planting- weren't ready until late December, early January, but I harvested all the way into February.
We love carrots so just plant 'em and fagitaboutit - lol... We harvest them all winter long. I still have carrots growing! Unusual but it's been such a mild spring for us here in Phoenix. No 100� days in the forecast for at least the next 10 days. We've been close. Low 80s today! Last year we hit 100� the 3rd of April and it didn't let up until late October!
I still have carrots too. I have found the only way to get them to germinate is to competely give up on them and plan on putting something else there. Then all of a sudden they decide to germinate.
I was wondering can you start carrots indoors in those jiffy pellets. we dont have quite as long of a growing season as you all do and it would be nice to start them early indoors if possible.
hummingtammy - personally I would not recommend any other method for carrots besides direct sowing. They are very hard to successfully transplant. You can plant them as soon as the soil can be worked and there are many many varieties that are considered early - under 60 days - that should do well for you...
I agree with Kelly -- they do fine for me up here in northern Mich., so you should have no problems. The "secret" for me seems to be to (1) plant them shallow -- I really just sprinkle the seeds along the row that I've marked out and then use a garden rake to kind of pack them down (not rake them in); and (2) keep them very well watered -- because they're so shallow they also dry out very quickly. I usually cover them with Reemay/floating row cover to help keep in the moisture (and keep my cats from digging them up).
Glad you mentioned planting them shallowly Sandy - best advice right there! I too sprinkle them on the surface and press in barely to the soil...
1lisac - I have to laugh at your post about the carrots. Last year in our raised beds there was one section just for my husband and he put carrots in there - nothing much happened - then by accident I spilled a bunch of leek seeds in there (I was planting the adjoining section but got clumsy and the excess seed i was going to save fell into his carrot bed) I thought oh well maybe the leeks will never germinate and he will never know i screwed up. Well the leeks got huge and guess what else all of a sudden decided to come up - the carrots. It was a very crowded bed. The carrots had green shoulders and were not too tasty, but the leeks were fabulous. I harvested all excess and put in freezer. Found a recipe on internet for potato leek soup that is fantastic & i just take 4 leeks out of the freezer each time to prepare the soup with. The green shoulders on the carrots - does that mean they were planted too shallow?

Sandy ,oh no I bet I planted them to deep we have had a lot of rain this week I will replant them tonight if it doesn,t rain.
what are leeks
Leeks are a member of the onion family. Here's a link so you can to see what they look like:
I am growing these for the first time this year.
For the carrots, also don't forget to thin them out so they have a little room to grow -- it's really hard to plant those little seeds so they're spaced out right!
August2003 -- you're making me hungry by mentioning the potato-leek soup -- can you share the recipe with us?? Please???
I am glad for the help I have never grown carrots your right the seeds are so small it is hard to see just where they fall.
I looked at the leeks on line the look like something I ,d like and I like soup I like Weedwhackers idea of sharing your recipe I know my family is tired of plain potatoe soup.

I planted some Scarlet Nantes that locaKelly sent me the first of December. We had thirty days of extremely cold weather for our part of the country. Temps were in the upper teens the whole month. Those darn carrots grew in the middle of all that cold. We've been eating carrots a long time. Sure hated to see the last of them go.
LOL Jim - those Scarlet Nantes are one of my favorites. Would you believe I still have some in my garden? It was a gamble late planting and we've had such a mild spring - they are yummy. Will be harvesting the last 3 squares tomorrow as the temps are climbing. Glad I gambled and won for once!
rockgardener - I forgot to answer your question... Carrots take a long time to germinate, but not as long as your's have been. Maybe the seeds were not viable if they were really old or they got planted too deep. Another problem may be if they weren't too deep they dried out. It's hard to keep them moist when they are planted shallowly (as they need to be). I would say sow some more at this point.

I do only raised beds and they dry quickly, especially the top inch. When I plant carrots, lettuce or radishs I sprinkle lightly every day and then every couple of days after they come up until they are actively growing.
Loca, I pulled one of those little carrots after they had been up a while and it had a little carrot about the size of a match. The super cold weather set in and it was a little over thirty days before the temp got above freezing. After the cold let up I went to the garden to check on stuff and pulled another carrot. The joker was about 3 inchs long and as big as my finger. I could not believe that they actually grew when the temp was that cold.
I really like the Scarlet Nantes and will order seed from Johnny's and plant a lot more of them this fall. Thanks for putting me on to them.
locakelly , those are really nice ,what kind of carrot are they ?
They are Royal Chantenay... Love these carrots!
You should send your pics in to Botanical interest. They're looking for a real-life pic for their website.
I love their seeds too Steph! I'll have to see what I have for pics of stuff I grew from their seeds and submit some. Thanks for the reminder...
Weedwhacker - I discovered the Potato Leek Soup recipe at www.pinchmysalt.com
You will find many lovely recipes there. I took many liberties with the recipe - using 2% milk instead of whole cream - adding pinches of fresh herbs from my garden(greek oregano, thyme, marjoram and from the pantry Pimenton de la Vera - Dulce (Spanish Sweet Paprika) - which brightens all of my soups. I also garnish each bowl with bacon bits, fresh chives from the garden, and a generous pinch of shredded cheddar. Serve with some hearty bread for dipping.
Also because my garden grown leeks are smaller than the ones in the store - I used 4 leeks instead of three.

You just made me hungry august and I just finished supper.
August -- thanks for sharing the site, I'm anxious to check it out! (I actually thought I had nearly every cooking site already on my "favorites" list but apparently not, LOL -- just what I need, another source for recipes when I barely seem to find time to cook, especially this time of year) Your description of the soup is making my mouth water, though, so I'm pretty sure I'll find some time somewhere. Might have to go buy some leeks to try it out while I'm waiting for mine to grow up!
Well, I ended up pulling my first carrot a couple days ago. It was about four inches long and ok diameter, the top ended up being about the size of a quarter and tapered down nicely. It wasn't the darkest orange and wasn't the sweetest carrot I've ever had - but it came from the yard along with the lettuce and swiss chard to go into a salad for dinner tonight.
On a side note I had to pull all my remaining lettuce today. We've had five or six 90f + days now and the let. is bolting and getting that bitter taste.
So for those who have had good success with carrots should I maybe do another planting in October when the weather finally starts to cool down in this part of the country?
Those were some beautiful looking photos, Locakelly, thanks for sharing.
Sure thing dude! Yup - start planting again in the fall. You can succession plant every 2 weeks or so to have continuous crops. Carrots can take cold weather. People in some parts cover them with straw and leave them in the ground in the winter/snow...
I planted some Dec. 1 that kelly send me seed of. When the extreme cold weather hit they were about an inch long and the size of a match. After 30 days of below freezing weather they were six inchs long and the size of a quater. Darn things grew in sub freezing weather.
Jim- if they survived this last winter I'll certainly do a row or two this fall. Don't want to jinx us but it's unlikely we'll have a winter that cold again in the next decade.
All the poor hibiscus, gingers, and bananas,ect....
Actually my gingers and bird of paradise have come back, but most folks palms and hibiscus really look dead or knocking on the door.
Kelly- I always have loved carrots....my aunt still shares the story to this day that about 25 years ago she said she brought me carrots for Christmas - thinking I'd be upset when she was just playing a joke, but instead I said, "thanks". She had a toy or two for me, but no carrots. I think I was slightly disapointed, but then again I was 7 or 8 at the time and memories do tend to fade.
Must be something in them that my brain/and/or/body needs.

There's a new proposal to develop the 77-acre Nassau Coliseum site on Long Island into a 5 million-square-foot biotech campus.
It's the latest idea for the 40-year-old sports arena. The New York Islanders are leaving it in 2015 for the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Wall Street Journal reports the new plan is the brainchild of Don Monti. He's a developer of hotels, shopping malls and office towers on Long Island.
His biotech campus would be linked to a 92-acre residential, retail and commercial development by light rail or a special bus route.
Monti estimates it would cost between $2 billion to $3 billion. His proposal could change following community feedback.
Monti still needs to negotiate a deal with Nassau, find an anchor tenant and secure financing.

We assumed that all polynomials of degree can be factored into irreducibles. Since we wrote with , we can factor and into irreducibles, and therefore, can be factored into irreducibles.
The original problem was to show that factorization of polynomials with integer coefficients (into irreducibles) exists and is unique. This is what we are doing. (Please see my earlier post stating the overall strategy.)
For the second part, you should try to prove that if is irreducible and divides , then either or . Then, suppose that a polynomial has two factorizations. Use this division fact to show that the two factorizations differ only by a unit (or invertible number).
link is here) and I think it relates to this problem, however I'm not the best at interpreting it into a little more understandable language. Perhaps it may help?
I don't want to get off track here either. However I've been digging around and this is what other people have said about this problem:
I still wasn't able to make sense of all of this, and I don't want to give really off track here either. Can someone make sense of this?The fact that Z[X] is a ufd is due to gauss. It is NOT a euclidean domain however. the crucial concept is to define the "content" of a polynomial as the gcd of the coefficients, then prove the content of a product is the product of the contents. then one can reduce the proof to the case of Q[X].
Can anyone else also confirm?

LORAIN — There's a black leather chair in City Hall that's collecting dust.
It's the mayor's chair, and it's been empty for exactly two weeks today. The Lorain Republican Central Committee has yet to call a meeting to appoint an interim mayor to fill the remaining four months of former Mayor Craig Foltin's term.
Lorain Area Republican Party Chairman David Arredondo said Wednesday that Helen Hurst, chairwoman of the county's Republican Precinct Committee, was ready to call a meeting last week, but an opinion by former Lorain Law Director Michael Scherach threw a kink into Hurst's plans.
Scherach told Arredondo that he should be the one who calls the meeting, since he is the head of Lorain's Republican Party.
"We were prepared to go forward with a meeting until last week, when attorney Mike Scherach gave his opinion," he said. "We seem to feel differently, so we have the party's county chairman looking into it."
That chairman, Bob Rousseau, said Wednesday that a lawyer has been looking into the issue since last week but has not given any indication when he would be done.
Rousseau said he wouldn't name the attorney because he is working for free and didn't want his name made public.
When asked why both Arredondo and Hurst don't just call the meeting together by choosing the same date, Arredondo said he would not be opposed to that idea and would bring it up at a party meeting tonight.
The committee has until Sept. 16, or 45 days after Foltin officially stepped down, to call the meeting, according to state law. Foltin left office last month to take a job at Cuyahoga Community College.
John Romoser, the Republican candidate who filed to run in November, is the person most think will be selected by the committee.

New committee weighs dog issues on Common, in Public Garden
The Friends of the Public Garden, the non-profit advocacy group that looks after the Public Garden, the Boston Common, and the Commonwealth Avenue mall, is asking dog owners to weigh in about how they use the public spaces.
In a new survey, the organization said that they have formed a new committee that will work with the Boston Parks Department to look at issues surrounding dogs in the parks, including requests for an off-leash dog area.
The organization will work with neighborhood associations, dog owners, park users and people with dogs, they said.
In the survey, the organization notes that "many of you would like to have a Boston Common off-leash area on the parade ground near the corner of Charles and Beacon Streets," but adds that extensive turf restoration in 2007 means that space will not be under consideration as on-off-leash area.
The survey asks dog-owners about which of the parks they use to walk or socialize their dogs, how often, and at what times, as well as questions about dog ownership, current off-leash areas and laws, and additional comments and areas of concern.

wikiHow to Go on a Shopping Spree in Animal Jam
Many people on Animal Jam either regret their shopping sprees or just never have been on one. You can change all of that by reading this simple and short guide!
1Go to the Sol Arcade or play Adventures and earn gems! Gems are important (because it's the main currency of Animal Jam) and you will need a lot for something as a shopping spree. A recommended amount of gems for your spree is 2,500 to 5,000. Remember, you can always get more if wanted. However, you will be skipping this step if you already have enough.
2Think what you want to spend your gems on. You don't want to go crazy and buy clothing if you only have 187/200 slots left. If you want to go on a shopping spree for only one certain item category (clothes, den items) then you should either make sure you have enough slots (10-200 slots is enough) or you should delete items to get to enough.
3Go to the area you want to spend your gems in. Avoid Epic Wonders unless if you have enough gems. Ideas would normally include Jam Mart Clothing or Jam Mart Furniture, but there are many other stores (besides the Diamond Shop) where everything costs gems. These include the Flag Shop, Claws n Paws, Sarepia Forest plant shop, Conservation Museum shop, Hot Cocoa Hut shop, Mystery Emporium, Adventure Base Camp shop, Secret Eagle shop, and many more. You could even go on a den shopping spree if you wanted.
4Spend until you don't have enough to buy anything! Make sure you won't regret it. However, you do not need to spend all your money, it's just an option that makes it more shopping spree-ish.
5Use your new items. There's no point in spending all that money if you aren't going to use it one something! Redo your den or try on your new clothes.

- The most expensive shopping sprees are Epic Wonders and the 2 Den Shops.
- The cheapest shopping spree is most likely the Flag Shop.
- You can go on a shopping spree for den items to make an event (like a fashion show) or a place (like a restaurant).
- Spend your gems wisely!
- Do not recycle things if you want gems quickly, even if you don't want them. They can be traded, but you can recycle if nobody likes your trade or if you don't like trading.

Sustainability of Food Products Applying Integrated Life Cycle Tools
The agri-food industry is a significant resource for the European economy. However, the competitiveness of this industry seems to be at risk due to its many structural problems (i.e. extreme fragmentation, energy-related and service issues, low R&D investment levels). In order to boost the sector, European policy-makers have planned a number of actions aimed at promoting a research for a greater sustainability. One of the most significant actions is the use of Life Cycle Thinking tools, which allow for a quantification of the environmental and social impact, and cost of food production. To ensure the adoption of these tools, their application should be simplified, an integrated framework should be created for the measurement of social, economic and environmental impacts, and a vast dissemination of results should be developed. For this purpose, the Ecolabel mark use has also been extended, with the last revision (EC Reg. no. 66/2010), to food products.

The Lubbock City Council could vote as soon as next month on whether to hold a bond election.
The election, recommended for May, is in the works after the citizen advisory committee proposed a nearly $134 million bond package to city leaders on Thursday.
"Simply stated, we can no longer kick the can down the road when it comes to facing the needs of city facilities and amenities," chairman Barry Orr said.
The council still has to approve the election and decide what projects voters will consider.
The recommendation includes the endorsement of projects ranging from public safety to quality of life, advising the council to serve voters their options "cafeteria style" so they are able to pick and choose the ventures they'd like to fund.
While including the bond package in this November's general election could save the city money, the committee said a May 2015 election would allow voters to focus on the individual projects to include a bond, thus funding through increased taxes down the line.
And, that will likely be a discussion on the dais.
"That's going to be tough because you have to look at the cost of the election," Mayor Glen Robertson said. "I do understand the recommendation of the CAC because they don't want the politics to get involved. They want this to truly be about Lubbock, Texas, and what's important for our future."
The council likely will consider holding the election either November, May, November 2015 or even May 2016, Robertson said.
During the work session, Councilwoman Karen Gibson stressed that voting for a project in the bond election means paying for it through taxes later.
Public safety
Topping the list of public safety issues is the city's dilapidated police station, but it won't be on the ballot next May.
Instead, the committee asked the council to immediately issue an almost $67 million certificate of obligation to construct a new station.
Robertson said he likely will vote in favor of that recommendation.
"It's life, health and safety," he said. "We are talking about the police department, the emergency operations center — we can't wait on a bond election. We need to move and we need to move quick."
A project implementing tornado sirens is second on the public safety list, and it likely will have a place on the ballot.
The $2 million project will bring Lubbock up to par with other cities, said Jay Leeson, municipal facilities and public safety subcommittee chairman.
Lubbock is the only city with a population greater than 200,000 in Tornado Alley that doesn't have outdoor warning sirens, he said.
The idea of tornado sirens has been talked about for several years and two separate committees have looked at it recently.
Now, chairman Orr said, it is time for the voters to have their say.
In total, the municipal facilities and public safety portion of the proposed bond package — not including the police station — will be $18.5 million.
Other projects in this portion of the package include addressing city facilities.
Lubbock is growing. In fact, the city has grown by about the size of Brownfield in the last three years, but growth means more cars driving on roads.
"Our infrastructure is strained and we have got to catch up to the growth of this community," Orr said.
Street repairs, particularly the continuation of 34th Street reconstruction from Quaker Avenue to Slide Road and from Avenue Q to Interstate 27 make up a major chunk of the bond package.
The seven proposed street projects will cost about $66 million.
To help manage road maintenance, however, the committee recommended implementing a municipal vehicle registration fee — though the city attorney said that could be problematic.
Quality of life
Not all the committee's recommendations are so serious.
In surveys, the public expressed an overwhelming desire for a dog park and splash pads.
"To continue to grow, and to continue to attract families, you've got to provide amenities to those families to attract those young families," Orr said.
Though, the city's pools need more funding as well; he said the city either needs to "get out the pool business or get into it the right way."
Additionally, part of the parks portion of the bond package would connect the Canyon Lakes with a walking trail.
The total cost of adding an additional pool in Southwest Lubbock and updating the current ones, building a dog park and expanding the Canyon Lakes walking trail will cost $49.5 million.

Kathleen Richards – East Bay Express
Updates here: East Bay Express Story Unravels
Today the East Bay Express ran a lengthy story that accuses Yelp of manipulating review order for money. As we've said many-a-time we do not do this and you don't have to take my word for it. Let's take a quick look at an advertiser…
As you can see while the first review is positive (and very clearly marked up) the reviews below are neutral and yes even negative. This is quite normal and if you look around the site and click on some ads you'll find plenty of advertisers with reviews that look like… well, everybody else.
We showed this evidence to Kathleen, but it didn't find prominent placement in her story. Beyond this obvious point I have three additional issues with the story I'd like to highlight (thanks for bearing with me!).
1. Heavy reliance on anonymous sources.
Kathleen relied on five anonymous sources and only three non-anonymous sources. Use of anonymous sources is fraught with hazards and is strongly discouraged by most editors, as explained by the American Journalism Review, "Editors around the country…agoniz[ed] over the use of anonymous
sources, fearing they were relying on them too heavily, damaging the
press' credibility in the process."
Anonymous Sources:
John, an East Bay restaurateur "scam"
Mark, a former yelp "contractor" and business owner "no interest
in curbing illegitimate reviews."
Joe, a business owner "sounds like the Mafia"
Mary, a photographer "I'm a little curious why my
reviews are disappearing."
Ellen, an Oakland business owner "The prices were cost-prohibitive"
Named Sources:
Robert Gaustad, Bobby G's
Greg Quinn, Anabelle's Bar
Mary Seaton, Sofa Outlet
2. Reliance on at least one source with serious credibility issues.
Sadly at least one of the named sources is affiliated with a business that has spent a considerable amount of time and energy trying to mislead customers like you with fake reviews. Below is a sample of some of the many reviews we've removed from Sofa Outlet's page:
firstname.lastname@example.com – rating 5/5 stars – I went into the store not knowing what I was looking for. The sales
team really helped me to narrow down what I was looking for and at such
a good price. I am now relaxing on my new comfortable leather sofa
watching the NBA finals! The delivery staff was great as well! I just
went in to get a big leather ottoman and had a superbowl party in which
everyone loved the furniture.
email@example.com – rating 5/5 stars – Great place to shop! Lots of choices and lots of options! I am so happy
with all of items that I have purchased from this little cute store
hidden in San Mateo. My only complaint is that the sofa came too fast
and I was not able to donate my old one in time.
3. The accusatory thrust of article is essentially overturned at the very end.
In her words…
Interviews with more than a dozen local
business owners suggest that Yelp sales reps may be wording their sales
pitches more carefully these days. Owners who were approached by Yelp
in recent months said they were told they could choose one positive
review that would appear at the top of their page, which would clearly
be denoted as a "sponsored review."
And plenty of Yelp advertisers still have negative reviews on their
pages. "You pretty much have to fight tooth or nail to get a bad review
moved or removed," said one East Bay restaurant advertiser, who wished
to remain anonymous. Peter Snyderman, the owner of Elite Cafe, said his
sales rep never mentioned moving negative reviews.

i am getting daily insertion of spam into the database without my permission
Hello there, i am having issue with my wordpress installation that I have had for years.
For some reason, i am getting daily insertion of spam blog posts into the database without my permission.
I already change my database password (though that may be an external link with access to my database) but injection is still happening, so i suppose that is something related with feed automation from one file inside my installation.
This seems to be ghost records, since none of them are displayed into the admin or public part, but can be accessed if you know the url. The common thing of all the records, is that they are inserted into a category called aerotank
For some reason, looking at the wp_options table, i found a record with some rewrite rules that includes conditions for aerotank. But every time i delete the record, a new one is generated.
Please, please can someone help me? I posted this over a month ago and got no response..help..
- The topic 'i am getting daily insertion of spam into the database without my permission' is closed to new replies.

Jenn Klein was raised in the human world unaware of her gryphon heritage or the legacy before her. Devastated by the death of her twin brother, she makes the uncharacteristic decision to find emotional connection with a stranger, a man she knows only as Talon in the cave-like sleeper cab of his rig. But no sooner is she introduced to the gryphon world they're meant to share than she's violently taken and forced to fight, delicately balancing the human world she knows with the world of the gryphons. Born and reared a proud warrior, Talon's life takes the turn of most male gryphons; that of a rogue, existing in both the human world and on the fringes of his adopted Rocky Mountain eyrie. After proving himself to the beautiful but emotionally damaged rogue female in his truck they part ways. He's haunted by her presence in his heart until they're reunited in his eyrie. When she's torn from his arms he'll stop at nothing to have the woman he now calls Shadow returned to his side.
"This book was awesome. Every page, line and chapter had me riveted. I was hooked from the moment Talon and Shadow met. I cried and I laughed, for her losing her brother an the other craziness she went through."
When Cloud is expelled from Master Sky's ranger training program, the last gryphon she expects to find at her den is her old lover Soar. Now she's the only gryphon with the skills to get inside a corrupt Calgary eyrie and Soar needs her in more ways than one. Cloud has little choice but to accept the mission. Success will get her back in Sky's good books but accepting Soar as her working partner will either heal her broken heart or ruin it completely.

"Munro's graphic and wildly vivid descriptions make this story pop. Her in your face writing style is easy to follow and really draws you in. This fast paced and imaginative story had me hooked throughout. The intricate and well thought out storyline makes it impossible to forget. Munro's well developed concept of griffon & Eyre just add to the enchantment of the tale. The history and culture of these people captures your heart & imagination. Throw in some steamy romance and intense action and you have a brilliant winning tale."

Captain Cassandra Williams is in love with the sea and her career until she receives an invitation from a forbidden suitor. A short story originally written for the Writer's Digest Short Story competition in the romance category.
Elizabeth Munro's style, narrative, dialogue, description, all drew me in, intrigued me, and kept me clicking away really late into the night until I finished the story in one sitting, enchanted until the final three paragraphs.
I stood on the road in front of our motel carefully scanning the sky. Dressed: boots and coat, and was holding the backpack I'd been using as carry on luggage in the truck. Most of my clothes were in a bigger bag in the room. I went through the pockets and the main compartment to see what I had. My wallet as expected but I also had my gun and my Kim Cross passport. Our real ID had been well hidden since we were traveling as John and Rachel. A couple of changes of clothes and my toiletries. A felt pen?
I must still be dreaming. There was no way I could have dug around to find my gun and Kim ID and gotten dressed and out the door without waking Ray. It was starting to snow hard when Ray and I turned in but the sky was clearing now and I could make out the stars in patches. The remaining clouds didn't bother me. What I was hunting was high above them. They wouldn't cause me any problems at all. I went back to scanning the sky.

She'd started to enjoy the detached feeling like the slow sleepy sex Ben would wake her for when getting used to being home left him needing something he couldn't put in to words in the middle of the night.
She couldn't remember the last time she slept. It was more like she blacked out. Ben had left her nearly three weeks before. He'd said he loved her and wanted to help but he needed someone stable so he was going to stay with his brother. Katie remembered him telling her he would wake to find the door wide open and her gone or she'd be pacing around the house muttering one disgusting thing after another. The last straw had been when he'd woken to find her naked crouched next to him on the bed shrieking and trying to hold her ears on her head.
