A team of mobile policemen dispatched from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command averted a bloody clash between thousands of commercial motorcyclists (Okada riders) and the police in the Abuja suburb of Jikwoyi yesterday. Reports said the crisis lasted for hours. The protesting riders barricaded the road from Jikwoyi, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Junction and around the Karu Market area, preventing human and vehicular movement.
As at the time the reporters got to the scene of the riot at about 1:00p.m., there were still bonfires, while a detachment of mobile policemen fired tear gas canisters into the air to disperse the crowd. It was gathered that the riot, which nearly turned into a religious war, started when policemen started arresting Okada riders over their refusal to pay a levy allegedly introduced by a group, Centre for Development and Empowerment of Commercial Motorcyclists in the area.
The incident, which started at about 9:00a.m., according to eyewitnesses, took a new dimension after the police began to seize the motorcycles of those that refused to pay the N9,500 levy. The said amount was meant for registration, identity card, reflective jackets and stickers for all Okada operators. Angered by the attitude of the police, some of the Okada riders whose motorcycles were seized reported the matter to their colleagues, who within minutes gathered in their thousands to protest against the new levy. Although no life was lost, several people were injured, as the protesting riders set bonfires at strategic junctions leading to Jikwoyi, and prevented people from moving around.
The clash, which nearly turned into a religious riot, forced the police to call for enforcement and within minutes, truck loads of mobile policemen were deployed to bring the situation under control. It took about three hours for the police to disperse the irate mob, who refused the leave despite of the tear gas and gunshots from the policemen insisting the police release all the seized motorcycles. One of the Okada riders, Musa Sule, who said he had been a rider for over 25 years now having operated in Port Harcourt, Bayelsa before relocating to Abuja nine years ago, said the Okada riders were against the new levy because it was not coming from a genuine source.
He said though, they did not have an official registered union; they would not want the police to force a group on them. He along other okada operators vowed to resist further extortion, but said they would only pay the new levy if the FCT minister made the pronouncement. When contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Doris England said the police were only there to provide security for those collecting the levy.
Also, when contacted, the Chief of Karu, Chief Emmanuel Kyauta Yepwi, was not available, but the palace Secretary, Samson Danjuma Shanyiwa, said he did not know what might have caused the riot, but that the palace had sent its watchdogs to get full details of what might have led to the riot and report to the palace.

Statistical Adjustment Wouldn't Work
October 2, 2001
An in-depth analysis of the Census Bureau's attempts to make up for the problems of undercounting in the Census by using statistical estimates concludes the process would not correct the undercount of severely undercounted neighborhoods.
In a two-part report, the Congressionally Appointed Members of the U.S. Census Monitoring Board -- created by Congress to oversee all aspects of the 2000 Census --looked at the Census 2000 Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.), a program to statistically adjust the Census counts to include those who were not counted.
- The report indicates that the outcomes (adjusted estimates of population) of statistical adjustment are based on unreliable and changeable assumptions.
- The way in which the United States population is sub-divided (into post-strata) to measure for the undercount has many limitations and changing only one assumption could dramatically affect statistically adjusted census counts.
- For instance, the difference between a statistically adjusted count for the Southern region produced by the A.C.E. was over half-a-million less than another equally valid estimate produced by the Board using a different post-strata.
- The Board's analysis also strongly suggests that the statistical adjustment process is not sensitive enough to local communities and neighborhoods, and may actually add people to the wrong places at both the regional level and at the neighborhood level.
- While most severely undercounted neighborhoods wouldn't have their counts corrected, many overcounted neighborhoods would actually gain population under the A.C.E.
A. Mark Neuman, co-chair for the Congressional Members, says statistical adjustment may not be the best method to address the differential undercount: "Severely undercounted neighborhoods, especially those in historically undercounted and minority communities, will remain severely undercounted. Statistical adjustment doesn't fix that."
Source: "Changing an Assumption: Measuring the Undercount in Census 2000 with an Alternative Post-Strata Creates Different Results," and "Statistical Adjustment Fails to Correct the Census for Severely Undercounted Neighborhoods: An Analysis of Synthetic Estimation in Blockclusters," Report to Congress, September 29, 2001, Congressional Members of the U.S. Census Monitoring Board.

Published: Friday 10th April 2015 by The News Editor
A gang of paedophiles raped and abused a baby and a pre-school child in attacks that were live streamed over the internet, a court heard today.
Members of the child sex ring preyed on the families of the youngsters they targeted – sometimes offering to babysit their victims, jurors were told.
Some would travel long distances to carry out the attacks together or watch a live stream using hi-tech video conferencing software if only one had access to a victim, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Robert Davies told the jury of eight men and four women that five of the gang have pleaded guilty to a range of offences, including rape of a child and conspiracy to rape a child during 2013 and 2014.
They are Robin Hollyson, 30; Christopher Knight, 35; Adam Toms, 33; David Harsley, 51, and Matthew Lisk, 32.
Two others, John Denham, 49, and Matthew Stansfield, 34, have denied charges of conspiracy to rape a child and are on trial.
"This prosecution will take you into a world you wish did not exist," Mr Davies said.
"The evidence exposes the shocking interest a group of men had in sexually abusing children and babies, particularly pre-school children and babies.
"A real baby was for certain abused and raped by some of those involved. Also a boy aged four or five was brought into a room while a man engaged in sexual activity for his own enjoyment as men watched live on the internet.
"Those others, particularly on the internet where part of an operation that such things would occur, even if they were not those committing the sexual acts."
Mr Davies said members of the gang would contact each other using Skype, video conferencing software and other online chatrooms.
They would also connect to the internet using the "dark web" – a way of hiding online activity, the court was told.
"The abuse would be arranged when there was a 'window of opportunity' to abuse a baby," Mr Davies said.
"Those involved in the planning of the abuse were as much a part of that abuse as those taking part in that abuse.
"The abuse was planned and was not just fantasy."
Denham, who was previously known as Benjamin Harrop, of Wiltshire denies a charge of conspiracy to rape a child under the age of 13 and the alternative of conspiracy to sexually assault a child under the age of 13.
He has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child and child pornography offences.
Stansfield, of Hampshire, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to rape a child under 13 and one alternative charge of conspiracy to sexually assault a child under the age of 13. He has also pleaded guilty to child pornography offences.
Mr Davies said that the evidence against Stansfield and Denham centred on videos, photographs and chat logs recovered from computers and mobile phones.
"The evidence of what occurred at different times comes from various sources and despite the efforts of many of those involved to destroy evidence before they were arrested, such as wiping hard drives clean," he said.
He said that both Stansfield and Denham admitted taking part in converations on Skype.
"They accept their involvement in the Skype chat but essentially say it was just fantasy and nothing more and the prosecution say that was plainly untrue," he said.
"We suggest that plans to rape the boy were very real and indeed it happened. Those two knew that in encouraging it, it was likely that someone would commit this type of thing.
"If not them, then this abuse would be broadcast to others by conferencing networks or Skype.
"Part of the excitement and titillation for some of them was watching a baby being abused – that did it for them."
In one incident in February last year, Stansfield allegedly drove from his home in Hampshire more than 100 miles to where Hollyson lived because Hollyson had a "thin window of opportunity" to spend time with a baby.
"This was an opportunity that was too good to miss," Mr Davies said.
"It is not clear precisely what happened to the baby that day but we know there was a plan because Christopher Knight and Robin Hollyson have pleaded guilty. The question is 'Was Matthew Stansfield part of it?'."
The prosecutor said that Hollyson, from Bedfordshire, and Knight, from Manchester, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rape a child.
In another incident, Mr Davies said Skype chat logs allegedly showed Denham engaging in conversation with Hollyson about raping the same baby the previous month.
The court heard that Hollyson was unexpectedly detained in hospital and the incident did not happen.
"It may well be that he does not turn up. We say that he is not just a laptop masturbating fantasist and there is a real plan for the baby to be raped on January 17," Mr Davies said.
"We say that Mr Denham is part of that plan. He pushed the idea along and trades on the fact that he will have access to a newborn and is very disappointed that Hollyson is stuck in hospital.
"We say John Denham is part of a real arrangement to rape in the weeks building up to January 17."
Jurors also told of another incident in 2013 involving Denham, who is married, Matthew Lisk, from Sussex, and David Harsley, from Humberside, who had all met on a paedophile internet chat room.
Harsley committed a sex act in front of a child aged four or five as Denham and Lisk were together "getting turned on" watching over the internet, while also engaging in consenual sexual activity themselves.
"We suggest that Mr Denham and the other man might as well have been in the room with the boy," Mr Davies said.
Those three had all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child. The court heard that the police began to unravel what happened when Hollyson was arrested in September last year.
Inquiries had led officers to friends of Hollyson because of online activity from their internet IP address. That in turn led to Hollyson because he had been allowed to use their internet account, the court heard.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
St. Augustine
Never Too Weak to Wander, a registered 501(c)(3), exists to help people with Multiple Sclerosis read more than one page.
Travel isn't a necessity. Only thirty-percent of Americans have passports and 20-percent of us only take a vacation once every six years (although an equal number of us do take at least two vacations a year). But the point is that travel obviously isn't a necessity. There has yet to be a recorded death due to not seeing the Great Wall. Or from not ripping into a loaf of steaming sourdough while gawping at the Golden Gate Bridge. And no one has died because they haven't stood beneath the Eiffel Tower suffering a crick in the neck to see up into its stubbornly intricate steel framework.
But neither is travel a luxury. Study after study has shown that travel – taking a vacation – is good for both physical and mental health. People who take vacations are less depressed than those who don't. They also have less incidence of heart disease. Women who travel are more satisfied with their marriages. On a less quantitative level, travel not only teaches about the larger world, but also provides a connection to it. And that's just talking about the general population.
For people who are chronically ill – let's say the 400,000 Americans with Multiple Sclerosis, an incurable, unpredictable, degenerative disease that targets the central nervous system – travel does even more, making them a part of a world they often think is no longer accessible.
Never Too Weak to Wander exists to financially and logistically assist long-time and first-time travelers with MS see and experience the world. Never Too Weak to Wander works with each of its travel scholarship recipients to plan a trip that considers both their MS and their travel dreams.
To learn more about the scholarship process or apply for an Never Too Weak to Wander scholarship, check out the "Travel Scholarship Application" tab on this page. Never Too Weak to Wander hopes to grant its first scholarships for MS-friendly trips it has planned in early summer 2011.
Never Too Weak to Wander is excited to be working with Lori Schneider, the first person in the world with MS to have summitted Mt. Everest as well as the highest peaks on the other six continents, and Empowerment Through Adventure too offer travel scholarships for climbers with MS to go on a trip to Africa's Kilimanjaro in July 2011. Lori is calling the trip "Take a Leap of Faith in Africa! Kilimanjaro Climb 2011."
Although Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world (at 19,340-feet tall), no prior climbing experience is necessary. What is necessary is a fair level of fitness and a can do attitude. People wishing to donate specifically to this Kilimanjaro climb should makes their checks payable to "Never Too Weak to Wander" and indicate on the check's memo line "Kilimanjaro Climb." For more details on the climb and Lori, click on either of the above links.
About MS
The only thing predictable about Multiple Sclerosis is its unpredictability. Although the cause of MS and a cure remain elusive, it is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. MS attacks the myelin that protects the optic nerves and the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in unprotected spots and scarred areas – called lesions — along a nerve. These scarred nerves are no longer able to properly conduct impulses, affecting the body's ability to perform and function. For some people, these effects are permanent; for others, they eventually go away, sometimes completely, other times only partly. MS can strike anyone at any age. It does affect women more often than men and most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50 however. MS is blind to race, religion and economic group. It doesn't seem to care what you eat and definitely doesn't care about what TV shows you watch, where you want you travel, or what kind of car you drive. MS is indiscriminate with its devastation.
About Never Too Weak to Wander's first major fundraising event: Biking for Better Odds
Biking for Better Odds plans to kick-off in the spring of 2011, approaching the fifth anniversary of Never Too Weak to Wander's founder's own MS diagnosis. Right now, the event's calendar is wide open, so if you have a ride or race you'd like Dina to do, please contact her. She'll need to find quite a few to get the 10,400 miles Biking for Better Odds hopes to cover between spring 2011 and spring 2012. That's one mile for every American diagnosed with MS during that year. (Approximately 10,400 Americans are diagnosed with MS every year.)
During her 10,400-mile quest, Dina Mishev, Never Too Weak to Wander's founder, plans on hitting each of the 50 states, doing races, fun rides, organized cycling tours, and BikeMS rides. She thinks she will be the first person with MS to do a BikeMS ride in each of the 48 states that has one in one year. It's a good thing she loves road biking and traveling almost as much as she loves cookie dough.
Biking for Better Odds' itinerary is far from set, so Dina welcomes suggestions and invitations to ride and speak about Never Too Weak to Wander and traveling and living with MS in the U.S. and abroad. Until www.bikingforbetterodds.org is up and running – which, knowing Dina's non-existent experience with creating a website will be longer than she hopes, you can reach Dina at email@example.com.
The final 3,600-miles of Biking for Better Odds will be an east-west all-in-one-shot ride across the U.S. (And by "all-in-one-shot" Dina doesn't mean that she won't stop to sleep and eat, but that the ride won't be broken up with any extended breaks or trips home to Wyoming.) During this last push, Dina plans on stopping in on as many of the first group of Never Too Weak to Wander's travel scholarship winners as is possible.
Biking for Better Odds' sponsors include Athleta and lots of fantabulous, generous, and overall awesome individuals and companies to come.
A check sent through the mail always works. Make checks payable to "Never Too Weak to Wander" and send them to NTWTW at P.O. Box 4424, Jackson, WY 83001.
We can also do Paypal:
In return, you'll not only have our eternal thanks, but also receive a receipt you can take to your accountant. Since Never Too Weak to Wander is a registered 501(c)(3), all donations made to the organization are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Thanks in advance.
And lastly: About Dina Mishev
A 2010 Athleta Featured Athlete (along with nine other amazing women) Dina Mishev has been living and writing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since 1997. In February 2009, she set a Guinness World Record for the most vertical feet skied uphill by a woman in 24 hours.
A graduate of Northwestern University with degrees in Math and Economics, Dina moved to Wyoming for a year immediately following college. The plan was to learn how to ski and then return to law school on the East Coast the following fall. The latter part of that plan was thrown out the window within two weeks of her arrival in Jackson. The former part remains a work in progress. When snow is in short supply, Dina races her road bike, climbs, hikes, explores her adopted state via motorcycle, and makes cookie dough.
Dina was diagnosed with MS in June 2006 after four years of random-but-short spells of vertigo and blurry vision. She started an approved therapy within a week of her diagnosis. Today Dina remains as active as she ever has been, traveling around the world and competing in the same sports she always has. Her writing about travel, sports, adventure, gear, art, people, and lifestyle topics has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Sunset, AAA Via, Outside, National Geographic Adventure, The Chicago Tribune, Cooking Light, NWA World Traveler, and United Hemispheres as well as on the websites of and in the official Visitors' Guides for Wyoming Tourism and Arizona Guide. Her first book, Wyoming Curiosities, was published by Globe Pequot in June 2007.

For this installment of Viceland Rap, we got with our Bronx bomber hip hop correspondent and player hater extraordinaire, Macho. (That's Rick Ross over there. Watch for a feature with him in our June issue, and a little nugget of sneak info right here in this very column.)
What's this shit I'm hearing about Gnarls Barkley winning some world record or some shit? Can I please say this? You cannot be a goon and like those dudes. That shit don't mix. Now I know they're gonna sell a ton of records, but their stuff's like soccer mom hip hop. Like Gorillaz part 2 or some shit. Dangermouse's beats sound like Moby and Cee-Lo comes off like Sylvester. And I got love for Cee-Lo too, that's my dude. He used to floss his shotgun collection in magazines, yo. Dude's got the Desert Eagle right on top of the fireplace, I swear. So can someone please tell me why he's dressing like this ? I mean, this is unacceptable. Now don't even try to give me the "you don't get it, Macho." This is not next level, it's not tongue-in-cheek, it's not — what's the word? — postmodern. It's just wack. Not dope. Whenever in doubt, ask yourself, "What would Jim Jones think of this?" See? My point exactly. Next.
Oh yeah, we caught up with Rick Rizzle the Rich Nizzle this week, and just so you know, there's a "Hustling Remix" with Jay and Jeezy on it. And Jay talks a little sideways somethin' somethin' about your boy Cam. Speaking of Killa, this track's been out for a while, but "Suck It Or Not" is terrible. Even Lil Wayne — the dude we taught you to like — can't really come off with a good verse. Dipset, what's really good here?
I'm sure you've heard the Clipse and Pharrell-can't-skate's "Me Too" already, so I ain't gonna stress it too much. Good record. The beat is fire, Pusha and Malice sound like each other all over again, but ice cream boy's verse ain't coming off. "Just last week I was out in Aspen/ Me and Puff hoppin' out the plane, both us laughin'." You just don't say stuff like that.
Seems like we got to go down south for some hardbody shit once again. Lil Scrappy's "You Ain't Know" is pretty cool, despite the played out Lil Jon keyboards. Say it with me: "Yeeain Know." Homie says, "I was born as a militant midget." That's the new slogan right there. But actually, this week's elbow-throwing (yep, I'm bringing back throwin' 'bows, how do you like that?) anthem comes courtesy of Yung Sean with "Got My Trap Boomin." I hope you can say the Atlanta "heeeeeeey" by now.

Protein in urine was 167
Patient : I am a 33 year old female with type 2 diabetes. I just received results of my urine albumin test and it was 167. Is this a dangerous level?
Symptoms: I went for regular check-up. No problems I was aware of.
Doctor : Thank you for your question. Albumin in the urine is a measure of the kidney's glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR is a measure of how well blood if filtered through the kidneys. Normal Albumin levels should be below 30. A urine albumin level of 167 could be a warning sign for kidney injury or the development of kidney disease. This level is quite high, and should have been promptly investigated for by your doctor. If this has not been done so already, please return to your doctor with these results to seek further evaluation. You may need to undergo specific testing including ultrasound of the kidneys to determine if you have developed kidney disease. Thank you for consulting AskTheDoctor.com

N45°23.871′ W122°38.864′ Terri Hopkins
Sep 2005
Mike Rathbun: N45°23.871′ W122°38.864′
Since 1995, Mike Rathbun has titled 11 constructions and installations by their geographic coordinates.
The Marylhurst installation makes it an even dozen.
Often his installations employ skeletal constructions of boats suspended above or lying alongside wave-like wood structures. These ambitious projects have been sponsored by sculpture parks, contemporary art institutes and university galleries, including Franconia Sculpture Park and the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minnesota; Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, New York; and Claremont Graduate University and California State University in San Bernardino.
In a recent conversation, Rathbun mentioned his interest in The Log from the Sea of Cortez, author John Steinbeck and biologist Ed Ricketts' account of their 1940 trip to the narrow sea between Baja California and the Mexican mainland. Rathbun was particularly interested in a passage in the book where the authors assert that truth is the ocean and a compass bearing. For the past 10 years, Rathbun has sought to make work that creates, like a compass bearing taken at sea, an experience that is both anchored in and transcends a specific place and time.
The desire to reference this type of experience grew out of a 70-mile solo voyage Rathbun took across Lake Superior in a handmade sailboat in 1995. As the son and brother of Baptist ministers, it also rises out of his religious tradition.
In The Art Gym (N45°23.871′ W122°38.864′) the public can explore and think about a set of three interrelated structures: a "wave floor," a suspended 20-foot-long boat and a ceiling-high matrix of 2,800 linear feet of two-by-twos that the artist hand-cut and split from logs over a period of two and one-half months.
Rathbun's installation engages The Art Gym's particular spatial qualities. The work calls attention to the grand volume of space overhead and changes the experience of the gallery floor by overlaying it with a rippling sea of wood, thereby offering visitors the opportunity metaphorically to "walk on water."
In addition to the RACC Artist Project Grant that supports this installation, Mike Rathbun's work has been recognized with many prestigious grants and fellowships, including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, Minnesota Artist Fellowship, Bush Artist Fellowship and The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Artist grant.

All posts in Typewriters
Orange Typewriter
For years I collected and blogged about typewriters, and knew more about them than anyone in the 21st century should. Read more…
Paper Typewriter
California Typewriter & handmade notebooks
So I've up and moved to California and decided that a visit to California Typewriter is in my near future. Have you been? See the thing is, all my typewriters are in storage, along with everything I own except two shirts and a pen. Must rectify this.
Unrelatedly, I've taken up a new hobby of making notebooks, most recently constructed entirely of paper grocery bags, Scotch tape, and cardboard packaging, owing to my lack of personal effects. Behold, a gallery.
So, a new colleague of mine (correction, I am the new one) brought two pristine Olympia typewriters to the office the other day, a Craigslist find, along with a box of accessories I've only read about, typewriter oil and ribbon tins, this sort of thing. I was working at my desk and heard typing, this is how I found out about it. Trying to talk her into starting a typewriter club at [my latest tech employer about which You Probably Have a Strong Opinion]. Which has, unexpectedly, an Analog Research Lab full o screenprinting equipment.
That is all.
Paper typewriter
Typewriter Shed
Here's a theme song for this post.
Drawing typewriters with an iPad and Adobe Ideas
Some of you out there in the typosphere are posessed of drawing skills; I'm not among you, to my sincere regret. Thankfully (oh, the irony) there is, these days, a digital crutch for every weakness (thank you, GPS) and now, with an iPad and Adobe Ideas, you too can draw a pretty good typewriter based on tracing over a photograph, and you won't even need to scan it when you're finished. The only hitch? Coming up with more money than God in order to buy one.
I have a feeling most typospherians would do the math on how many fountain pens a single iPad would be worth, and would then take a pass.
Leaving a typewriter behind
350 lbs of deep &^%$ (or, the Great Petaluma Typewriter Haul)
The Underwood Standard Champion
Allow me to follow on this post by saying I've never regretted giving a typewriter away. It's almost always the right thing to do, especially if it's going to someone who doesn't already have a spare bedroom full of dusty typewriter cases lying about, and is new to the hobby. If the Underwood Standard Champion was this guy's first typewriter, I could just tell by the look in his eye, it won't be his last.
Anyway, I reason that leaving a 50 lb analog writing machine behind at a giant software corporation as a parting gesture imparts a certain je ne sais quoi.
Favorite typewriter presents
I have a couple of friends who are artists, and on top of that very generous people who always make amazing handmade birthday gifts for friends and relatives. Today we had a thing for my birthday, for which they gave me the following card and present.
My crappy cell phone camera doesn't really demonstrate properly that this is 3-D and even the keys are punched out and angled upward:
This is about three feet wide and quite impressive to behold, each of the keys is actually a frame with a removable glass window for putting pictures, etc., although I'm likely to keep it just the way it is. They cut all the pieces by hand:
Wowza. What typewriter gifts have y'all gotten from people? For example, I know Duffy Moon's wife made him a typewriter cake once which I've just tried in vain to find online somewhere…
Seattle type-in: July 30
I entirely neglected to mention many things about this outing, such as Elizabeth's collection of fountain pens (including this Lamy Safari that I have coveted for some time), and a couple of crude nicknames that somehow materialized (one based on something very dumb that I said, alas). Mike Speegle, welcome to Washington.
Whoops, one more addition, just learned that Adwoa was in virtual attendance before I even arrived. Sorry to have missed you! Also, we forgot to go to the Fremont antique mall, folks.
Oh man, now I have to update "my typewriters: a list" at left…

Brett Ratner: 'Hopkins asked to watch Hoffman work on his day off'
Sir Anthony Hopkins was such a fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman he asked Red Dragon director Brett Ratner if he could visit the set of the film on a day off – just so he could watch the tragic star act. Ratner, who attended New York University with Hoffman, has penned an essay about his late friend for the new issue of Entertainment Weekly – and he recalls what a wonderful experience it was working with the Capote star on the 2002 thriller.
And it seems Hopkins shared the filmmaker's fondness for the actor, who played journalist Freddy Lounds in the film.
Ratner writes, "I got a call from Anthony Hopkins on his day off and he said, 'Can I come by the set?' I was worried that something was wrong. He said, 'No. no. I just saw on the call sheet that Philip Seymour Hoffman was working and I'm such a big fan. I just want to come watch him work.'
"I told Philip afterwards and he was very humbled and flattered, of course… Hopkins, one of the greatest living actors, is like, 'I want to come watch Philip Seymour Hoffman work on my day off'."
Grieving the death of his longtime friend earlier this week (beg03Feb14), Ratner sat down to watch one of his favourite Hoffman films, The Talented Mr. Ripley.
He adds, "He had only a few scenes in that movie and everyone in that movie was so great, but I think he stole every scene he was in."
Jude Law, Hoffman's co-star in the film, has also paid his respects to Entertainment Weekly, stating, "When Philip was on a set he raised the bar by being so truthful and demanding of himself.
"He was very modest, always interesting and generous. I'm deeply sad I won't see him again."
Hoffman died from a suspected heroin overdose on Sunday (02Feb14).

Windows 7, Home Premium, 64 bit, SP1
IE won't use any resources while left enabled but not used. It isn't an issue.
What can be an issue is using a 3rd party firewall on Win7 which works best using it's own firewall with a lightweight AV like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast 6, not old-school bloatware AV's and firewalls.
Sometimes its what works for an individual. Been using Zone Alarm free and AVG free for about 6 years with no problems, and no malware, plus use the best defense, safe surfing. The ability to block outgoing traffic is a nice feature of ZA, and AVGs e-mail scanner has worked well.
At any rate as regards the OP, I thought it was interesting that turning EI off did not totally shut it down and some sites/software seem to need IE.
BTW, I visit sevenforums a couple times a week to learn. Thanks to all the contributors.

Assuming the early part of Saturday's game against Idaho State goes according to form, players who don't see the field often should become better acquainted with a packed Sanford Stadium.
Georgia holds a wagon-load of advantages over the Football Championship Subdivision Bengals, including the big three of home field, higher-profile players and a bigger budget.
► VIDEO: Bulldogs Rewind: Richt explains Saturday's performance against Gators
► Gallery: Georgia-Florida game and Jacksonville scene
Idaho State comes in with a 1-7 record and will kick off at about 10:30 a.m. local time. So if Georgia plays to its potential, the Bulldogs should clear the bench in the second half.
"I've been studying and studying and studying to get the trust back from my coaches that I had in the beginning of the season," Georgia safety Jakar Hamilton said. "I got off track. I've been watching film and studying and know the plays a lot better than I had been doing."
The opportunity for increased playing time could be most valuable to Hamilton, who started the first five games of the season before slipping down the depth chart.
"I got sidetracked and wasn't studying the way I was supposed to be studying," Hamilton said. "I think everybody goes through it at some time. Now I'm ready to get back and prove to my coaches that they can trust me again."
Hamilton has made 23 total tackles and intercepted a pass this season. But the situation at safety has become crowded, so Hamilton's most recent production has come on special teams.
"We're young, so we're still developing a lot of guys," Georgia defensive backs coach Scott Lakatos said. "We're always trying to get the guys out there who are most ready to go that week. They all want to play, so they know they've got to practice and compete harder against each other if they want to play."
Junior tight end Bruce Figgins has played in every game this season after missing all of last season.
But Figgins' snaps have been mostly in short-yardage situations and in a two-tight end formation. He has not caught a pass since the Auburn game in 2008.
"I'd like to get more reps and take a bigger part in the passing game because I've been doing a lot of blocking," Figgins said. "I've run a couple of routes this season. I miss it a little bit, but that's all right."
Freshman fullback Alexander Ogletree won a special teams job coming out of preseason practice. But he plays behind two seniors on offense, Shaun Chapas and Fred Munzenmaier, and has more total tackles (five) than carries (two).
"I'm just waiting for my time for them to call my number," freshman fullback Alexander Ogletree said. "I've got two great fullbacks in front of me, Chapas and Munzenmaier. They're great leaders and I really look up to them. When I get called, hopefully, I can do my thing."
Georgia does not feed fullbacks the ball often, so blocking - especially on pass plays - can determine who plays. Blocking is usually where freshman running backs need the most improvement.
"I'm getting used to the atmosphere and stuff and geting better as a player," Ogletree said. "Blocking is where I need to improve the most, but I'm getting there."

2020 Harriet Tubman $20
We were just looking at a New York Daily News article the other day that said the decision was made to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, but it wasn't supposed to happen until 2030. Well, that information has changed with a Treasury Department announcement on April 20th.
The New York Times reports that in just 4 years, the new $20 bill design will be unveiled. Harriet Tubman will be appearing on the front of the $20 bill. Andrew Jackson is being moved to the back of the bill.
In an open letter, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew wrote:
The decision to put Harriet Tubman on the new $20 was driven by thousands of responses we received from Americans young and old. I have been particularly struck by the many comments and reactions from children for whom Harriet Tubman is not just a historical figure, but a role model for leadership and participation in our democracy….
Looking back on her life, Tubman once said, "I would fight for liberty so long as my strength lasted." And she did fight, for the freedom of slaves and for the right of women to vote. Her incredible story of courage and commitment to equality embodies the ideals of democracy that our nation celebrates, and we will continue to value her legacy by honoring her on our currency. The reverse of the new $20 will continue to feature the White House as well as an image of President Andrew Jackson.
More Changes to Come
Alexander Hamilton is staying on the front of the $10 bill but the back will be changed to depict the women's suffrage movement against the backdrop of the Treasury building. "The new $10 design will depict that historic march and honor Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul for their contributions to the suffrage movement."
The $5 bill will still show Honest Abe, but the back will be changed to show historic events that took place at the Lincoln Memorial, such as opera singer Marian Anderson's 1939 performance and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech.
The redesigned $10 bill is slated to be the first in circulation, although it is not clear right now when all these new bills will be in circulation.

Mr X Stitch presents The Cutting (& Stitching) Edge – December 30th, 2009
|Share the love...
Welcome to the Cutting (& Stitching) Edge! I'm Mr X Stitch and I'll be your guide to the best in contemporary embroidery. Each week I'll showcase someone who is rocking the world of embroidery and textiles.
It's another one of those "blow you away" moments here on the Cutting (& Stitching) Edge as I introduce you to the phenomenal work of Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene.
Severija is a Lithuanian artist whose works involve embroidery on metal. This is what she has to say about her work:
"In my work, I take pleasure in things that are only insignificant details to most people. An ordinary human being and mundane fragments of his or her life acquire an exceptionally important meaning in my works; meanwhile, recognised icons of beauty are less important to me. A banal understanding of beauty and utilitarian things: these are the objects that interest me and inspire creation. Therefore, I use fragments of popular culture, the so-called kitsch, in my art. When they appear in a new context, like some kind of 'quotations,' they help to create works that reveal my personal experience and point of view.
"I often use quite a simple and generally understandable language of symbols: flowers, of course, stand for beauty, and lids, buckets, watering cans and shredders refer to the domestic, material side of life. Banal and simple. Like cross-stitched roses, peonies, violas and marguerites are flowers from a Lithuanian girl's garden. Today the archaic cross-stitching technique reminds of not very tasteful, stereotype, 'philistine' embroideries. By choosing it and quite 'syrupy' kitsch fragments of popular culture and transforming them into aesthetic objects of textile I raise doubt in the traditional hierarchy of art, between what is usually called 'high art' and less valuable art. In my works, the kitsch details of popular culture lose their clearly negative contents. A simple understanding of beauty characteristic to ordinary people can also be valuable at least because it is part of life and sincere."
Her latest series of works are called "Way of Roses".
She says:
"Way of roses is an expression about successful life. However I read it literally, eliminating figurative positive meaning from this phrase. Embroidered cars rather tell us about dangers facing on the road which are reminded to us by silent flower wreaths often standing by the roadside. The problem is still very hot – tv and newspapers are full of "war on the road" topics everyday. Furthermore this work is a textile version of peculiar "tuning" as functional design. That is the way I understand means by which a woman can decorate her car. It differs from widespread, commonly projecting an aggressive image autotuning of men."
This works blows my mind. From a technical perspective, the planning and effort that must have gone into stitching these works on car parts is amazing. It makes me want to get my drill and tinker with some metal of my own.
I love the way Severija plays the hard masculinity of the car parts off against the feminity of the embroidered flowers. The concept that this might be the way women could "pimp" their rides is both humorous and thought provoking. Her decision to elevate the status of mundane objects through embroidered embellishment is bold, and is a complete success.
You can see more of Severija's amazing work at her website, and if you live near Berlin, you can see them in the flesh (so to speak) at the terrific Strich und Faden exhibition at the Kunstraum Richard Sorge gallery.
Now go and tell everyone about Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene!

Diagnosis changes, but Asperger identity endures
LifeLongLearner Orem, UTJune 27, 2013 1:00 p.m.
Labels are just labels, and can never fully encompass who someone is. They're great if they can be a basis for treatment and improvement, worse than worthless if they become an excuse for inaction or stigmatization.
Thanks for a positive article about autism, instead of all the usual fear-mongering the media seems to prefer. It's neat to see such successful outcomes are possible, and neat to see ScenicView finally getting some attention for all the good work it does.

How to Center Your Instagram Bio – Magic Code
To do that, you need to add in some blank characters to fool Instagram into thinking there are spaces to the left of your bio text. Copy the area inside the brackets below. Don't actually copy the brackets.
Next, paste that to the left of each line of text in your Instagram bio. You can paste more or backspace to delete some of the blank boxes until you get everything lined up properly. The image below shows you what that looks like for my own Instagram bio. Just play around with the arrangement until it looks centered, and feel free to add emojis for a little extra fun!

Family and and friends of Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp have paid their last respects to the slain model at her funeral in South Africa.
The blonde beauty was shot dead at the Paralympian's home in Pretoria, South Africa, on Thursday (14Feb13) and the sportsman, nicknamed Blade Runner, has been charged with her murder.
Steenkamp was remembered at a private service in the South African city of Port Elizabeth on Tuesday morning (19Feb13), and the memorial was followed by a cremation.
Steenkamp's brother Adam spoke to reporters outside after the service and paid tribute to his sister, saying, "There's a space missing inside all the people that she knew. It can't be filled again. We are going to keep all of the positive things that we remember... about my sister and we will try and continue with the things that she tried to make better. We'll miss her."
Her father Barry also revealed his daughter wanted to do more to help women who have suffered abuse, adding, "She stood against abuse against women. That was echoed so much in the months that she had mentioned that she would like to have been an activist for that. And unfortunately that has swung right around but I think the Lord knows that statement is more powerful now."
The funeral took place while the Paralympian appeared in court in Pretoria to request bail.
Take a look back at October's inaugural event.
The film is expected to continue without Mendes' involvement.

SAN FRANCISCO – Some Facebook users received an unsettling shock Friday.
Continue Reading Below
Many of the social-media site's users saw their Facebook profile page topped with a message that referred to the process for "memorializing" the page of someone who has passed away. The message said Facebook hoped the users' loved ones would find comfort in seeing posts that others shared about them. Even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's page had the death notice.
Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the problem. But it appears that the company may already have fixed the glitch.

The argument for retirement communities have been there ever since the concept was introduced. The question that arises is should we leave everything we know and care about to go live in a place we don't know. But what people don't realize is the benefits of living in such a community. First, let us see what exactly these communities are. They are housing schemes that are built especially for older adults with optional facilities which provide assistance for day to day activities. The benefits of these establishments are numerous but here a new of the top contenders.
Firstly, safety. No matter how much you argue on this there are statistics that show that home security among elderly persons are not favorable. These communities base their foundation on being able to provide its occupants with top of the line security. Community living does decrease the chance of break ins and home invasions and with the added benefit of the management of the center providing security, safety will not be an issue. Also with these centers medical help and disability support is also of utmost importance. When it comes to certain age, you need for medical help will increase and knowing that you are close to a trained professional will keep the worry at bay.
Another benefit of retirement communities is that it is convenient and lessen the hassle of everyday life. Retirement communities are built to make life easier for seniors. This means that all the buildings and surroundings will have disability services Perth and will cater to make the whole facility accessible to everyone. These centers also provide services such as catered meals, housekeeping and other forms of assistance. This does not mean that the occupants are invalids or incapable of taking care of themselves but that they require some help from time to time. It also provides the tenants with the option of being independent and having their own residence but not having to take up the headache of having to worry about its upkeep. The can have their beautifully landscaped garden but don't have to spend hours on their hands and knees.
Another benefit of such places is that it is a community and that means that all the social and cultural aspects of community living are also present. Socializing is an important part of life but as we grow older, the more we start to keep to ourselves. Unless you are an active and outgoing person, this lack of socializing is not good for your mental health. Thus by living in such a community you find like-minded individuals who have similar interests. These benefits might not seem like many but these a just a few of the contenders and it gives a very compelling argument as to using such communities. To know more about aged care services, contact just better care.

Spiky-Eared Pichu
Spiky-Eared Pichu (Japanese: ギザみみピチュー Gizamimi Pichu) is a female Pichu. Her physical appearance is no different from an ordinary Pichu, other than the three spikes at the tip of her left ear, hence her name.
In the anime
The Spiky-Eared Pichu appeared in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life as Damos's friend. She helped Pikachu and Piplup find the keys for Ash, Dawn, Brock and Damos to escape from their jail cell after they were imprisoned by Marcus.
She was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview when movie director Kunihiko Yuyama talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."
She also has an ending dedicated to her.

|Arceus and the Jewel of Life
|An x shows that the move cannot be legitimately learned by this Pokémon in the games.
|Moves used recently are in bold unless all moves all fit this case.
In the games
She appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as an event Pokémon obtained in Ilex Forest. She will appear and join the player's party if the Pikachu-colored Pichu is brought to the shrine as the first Pokémon in the party. She has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolve, she is identical to a normal Pichu in terms of stats. Her maximum stats for the Pokéthlon are different from a regular Pichu. Interestingly, however, her base stats do not differ from a normal Pichu's; the same trend occurs with most other Pokémon with multiple forms which share their base stats, such as Rotom or Arceus. If a Pokémon uses Transform on it, it will have a spiky ear.
Shiny sprites for Spiky-Eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it remains unknown if this special Pichu has the 1 in 8192 chance of being shiny like all other Pokémon encountered in the wild. It is highly likely that the data was only included, as in the case of Template:Type2 Arceus, to prevent the game from crashing if someone was to hack the game, or by default due to every other form difference having both normal and shiny forms despite availability of these Pokémon as shiny.
If taken to Professor Elm, it is revealed that she has traveled through time with Celebi. Elm claims that he and Professor Oak were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and claims that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason it cannot evolve is because it has been time traveling for so long. He will then call all the Pokémon Center attendants to prevent Spiky-Eared Pichu from being used in trades.

In the manga
In the manga adaptation of the movie, Spiky-Eared Pichu is a wild Pokémon that the characters meet in the distant past. She assists the characters in escaping from the movie's main antagonist, Marcus.
In the TCG
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Spiky-Eared Pichu in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
|Set no.
|Spiky-Eared Pichu
|Movie Commemoration Random Pack
- A picture of a Pikachu short poster that featured the Spiky-Eared Pichu alongside Pikachu and Piplup was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
- Spiky-Eared Pichu is apparently very fond of Grepa Berries.
- Spiky-Eared Pichu's inability to be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver can be explained as being preventative of trading an alternate form to a game in which it does not appear, as happens in Platinum when entering the trade center with Rotom in an appliance or Giratina in its Origin Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-Eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, it is ultimately unable to be traded at all.

German automaker Daimler AG on Tuesday reported a euro1.53 billion fourth-quarter loss – its first in two years – and warned that sales of its marquee Mercedes-Benz cars would decline through 2009 because of the economic meltdown's pinch on the automotive industry.
The nearly $2 billion loss for the maker of Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Maybach, as well as trucks and buses, compared to a profit of euro1.7 billion a year earlier. The final figure was dragged down by losses and charges at Chrysler LLC, of which Daimler holds a 19.9 percent stake.
In a sign of how tough times are for automakers from the U.S. to Japan, the Stuttgart-based company also said it was too soon to provide an accurate forecast on its earnings for 2009, only that "further substantial burdens" were anticipated.
"A more detailed statement on earnings will only be possible later in the year, when the development of the world economy and the automotive markets can be better assessed," the company said in a statement.
Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said the company was "dealing with a very difficult environment. Nobody knows how long this crisis will last or how deep it will be."
According to Daimler's report, the Chrysler stake pulled the profit results lower by some euro2 billion.
Daimler sold 80.1 percent of Chrysler to New York-based private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP in 2007. Chief Financial Officer Bodo Uebber said that talks to sell Daimler's remaining stake are ongoing.
Sales slid 12 percent, to euro23.2 billion ($29.6 billion) compared with euro26.5 billion a year earlier as the number of vehicles the company sold fell 17 percent to 480,055 from 575,353 a year earlier.
For the full year, the automaker earned euro1.4 billion, down 65 percent from euro4 billion in 2007. The 27 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had predicted an annual profit of euro3 billion.
Sales on the year dropped 4 percent to euro95.9 billion from euro99.4 billion.
The automaker said vehicle sales in 2008 dipped 1 percent to just more than 2.07 million sold compared with 2.08 million in 2007.
Daimler shares were down 3.6 percent to euro22.70 in afternoon trading in Frankfurt.
Looking ahead, the company said that global demand for automobiles could drop by another 10 percent this year as the economic slump puts the brakes on new and used car purchases not only in traditionally strong markets such as Europe and the United States, but also in emerging markets in China, India and the Middle East.
The malaise, the company added, was expected to be felt in its commercial trucks unit, too.
"Prospects for the major markets for commercial vehicles are also unfavorable," Daimler said in a statement, noting that the decline was likely to be acute in western Europe where the industry is "at the beginning of a distinct cyclical downturn phase, which will particularly affect sales of medium and heavy-duty trucks."
Zetche ruled out mass layoffs or dismissals, preferring instead to save billions of euros by trimming production to clear the backlog of unsold cars, idling some shifts in connection with the Easter holidays and summer breaks. He also said the company would freeze salaries for top managers, reduce its spending on real estate and adopt more common parts among the various car models it produces.

NextGen and Woocommerce: compatible?
WooCommerce support warns of possible (unspecified) incompatibilities between NextGen Gallery and WooCommerce (version 2.0). My testing so far is inconclusive but NextGen seems to work OK.
The alternative is the core WP gallery, which leaves me with 350 images in one big pot. But I can live with that if it's best. I'm open to other alternatives also.
Does anyone have experience/opinion? Thank you.
