Caterpillar, RadioShack and the Global Economy
RadioShack posted a surprise second-quarter loss.
RadioShack certainly has its problems, regardless of the state of the economy, though weak consumer spending certainly isn't helping. The Shack, as they sometimes like to be called, lost $21 million in the second-quarter, after earning $25 million a year ago, even as sales actually rose, by 1.2%. But margins were sharply lower, which means the company is doing some big discounting to draw that foot traffic.
Even worse, the company suspended its dividend, always a serious move. Share are down 23% in premarket trading.
The Shack's travails are an extreme example, but not unusual. Just about every company this quarter, it seems, is being knocked around to some extent by the global economy.

While San Francisco is officially a "City and County of Refuge" for immigrants who entered the country illegally, San Mateo County is not.
Dozens of protesters gathered in San Francisco today to identify solutions in response to anti-immigration sentiments spurred by the shooting death of a woman on July 1 on a San Francisco pier allegedly by an undocumented immigrant from Mexico with a history of felony convictions and who had been deported five times after repeatedly entering the US illegally. They say public safety is improved when immigrants can work with local police without fear of deportation. He had been deported five times.
Now the administration is pushing something called the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP), which asks local law enforcement to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when it plans to release what local authorities suspect is an illegal immigrant – something that officials in San Francisco failed to do.
"The Marion County jail will no longer hold foreign-born persons in jail based exclusively on formal requests from federal immigration officials, Sheriff Jason Myers announced Thursday". Before policymakers rush to judgment, we need answers on what actually went wrong here. Rather, like many other jurisdictions around the country, the sheriff's department requires a judicial warrant before it will imprison someone at ICE's request.
Sheriff's officials have been hosting community input meetings to determine how best to implement the PEP program, with a report due back to the Board of Supervisors in August. He pleaded guilty to false imprisonment of his wife and was given probation plus prohibited from carrying a gun. If the program had been in place in San Francisco, a phone call might have kept Sanchez off the streets.
A little bit of common sense and discretion might have prevented the killing this month in San Francisco of Kathryn Steinle – a victim not only of random gunfire but of the mindless handling of the city's immigration policy.
The district attorney's office declined to prosecute. By that sorry standard, the sheriff followed city law in not complying with the federal detainer. Immigrants say they are experiencing a backlash.
"It's not legal to hold someone on a request to detain".
"I strongly believe that an undocumented individual, convicted of multiple felonies and with a detainer request from ICE, should not have been released".
Many of those favoring stricter immigration enforcement referenced the San Francisco slaying of Steinle. In fact, according to many estimates, between 40 and 60 percent of the current unauthorized immigrant population-about 11 million people-entered legally but either overstayed or violated the terms of their visa, perhaps by dropping out of school, working without authorization, or changing jobs when their visa was tied to a specific employer.
Actually, most Republicans argue that any immigration reform policy has to address border security first, which certainly sounds like it's right on point.
The Remembrance Project is appealing to people and organizations across the country to sign its "Boycott San Francisco" petition and to boycott the City until it revokes its sanctuary policy.
Supporters of sanctuary protections have jumped on O'Reilly and others for politicizing the death.
For Munks, it's all about public safety. "I feel like originally we had a lot of support from the immigrant community – and then the opposition started turning out".
"By ICE's own numbers, 95 percent of the people they used to arrest, that they've already identified, that they want to take custody of, are getting out of jail before they can get to them".

1 Pro 485 VS Pair of Pro 80's
WAs curuious on peoples thoughts of how these two compare to each other. I currently am running Rev 8's on my tower and upgraded from the pro 80's.
Me n a few guys are outfitting a club(x5) boat with some tunes and came across a couple deals one for the 80's and the other for a single pro 485. We have a Syn 2 laying around we are going to run it with so going 3 some off the Syn 2 is not an option. We are also using the boat on a small private lake to the 3 some would just be overkill and a half.
If you had to recommend would you go single 485 or Pair pro 80's. Pro's and con's of going either way? The tower is an older zero flex flyer that is on an older X5. So there would only be room for a pair of 80's or a single 485 as well.

Max Payne Wallpapers and Backgrounds application with beautiful high quality images.
Max Payne (voiced by James McCaffrey) is a fugitive DEA agent and former NYPD detective whose wife Michelle and newborn daughter Rose were killed in connection with the Valkyr drug case. Max then goes undercover in the mob, and eventually becomes a one-man-army vigilante waging a personal war on crime (and in particular, those criminals responsible for his family's death). Max ends up killing hundreds of gangsters and conspiracy enforcers while on the run from the police determined on stopping his vendetta against all those responsible for his family's death. He uses metaphors and wordplay to describe the world around him within his inner monologues, which often contradict his external responses to characters he speaks with. The first game presents the story as retold by Max from his point of view.
Application includes: game, shooter, max Payne, police, adventure,

Democrats' Health Care Reform is Costly
February 9, 2004
Health care costs and the number of uninsured continue to rise, not for lack of government, but because too much government has crippled the normal market processes that make health care of ever-improving quality available to an ever-larger share of the population, says Michael Canon, a senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis.
Health care reform proposals by the five major Democratic candidates for president in 2004 (Clark, Dean, Edwards, Kerry and Lieberman) would add even more government to the mix.
How much more? Between 2005 and 2013, the candidates' proposals would cost anywhere from $591 billion (Edwards) to $6.268 trillion (Kucinich). To put this in perspective, consider that the prescription drug entitlement, recently enacted as part of Medicare reform and considered the largest new government program since the Great Society, is estimated to cost only $410 billion.
- Financing any of the proposals would require the next president to repeal all of the tax cuts enacted in 2003 ($140 billion from 2005 to 2013) and a significant portion of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 ($1 trillion from 2005 to 2001).
- The U.S. Department of the Treasury estimates that repealing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts would raise taxes an average of $1,544 for more than 100 million Americans and cost a married couple with an income of $40,000 and two children $1,933 annually.
- At least two of the proposals would require further tax increases; Kucinich would impose a 7.7 percent payroll tax to finance a single-payer system.
The proposals are likely to cost much more than projected and would add to an already growing burden on taxpayers. Also, each proposal would give government greater power to dictate the type and level of health benefits consumers would receive, says Cannon.

[Help] Mapped File using half my 8GB RAM, CPU usage by unknown progs
Hello all,
I built this PC a few months back, and reinstalled Windows 7 on 05-13-14 due to weirdness going on. The problems seem to be happening again, even hours after running.
Everything was great on this system, up until I installed my Samsung SSD's drivers, and it changed to AHCI, as well as changed some services to "Maximum Performance" settings.
My CPU seems to be being used by something. Kaspersky used 25% of the CPU during the install of my Asus drivers, for example. But at most other times, the fan just runs loud and alternates speeds. Secondly, when I open my Task Manager, I find about 40-50% of it used, but a second later it drops to below 10%... but my CPU fan is unaffected.
50% of my RAM is filled by the Mapped File cache, Kaspersky is having constant hard faults, harddisk drivers are failing.... I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Even a pointer to something that could help would be nice... Thank you.
Here is a complete system log:

I would suggest using Windows 7 built in defrag tool and see what happens.

I don't run defrags on my SSD. I have 4 other drives plugged into this computer. One of them is used for all my user files. I like them to be defragged. Also, Auslogics is smart...very smart... and fast.
Could some of my problems be related to Microsoft incorrectly using generic drivers for some of my custom build hardware?

So I just found this...
My drivers DO seem to be out of whack. I found the video below, and I'm currently working on debugging this.
Edit: On a freshly rebooted system with everything resource-heavy closed:
|My System Specs
|20 May 2014
So I believe I may have found the problem, and it was my SSD driver as suspected, among many other things. Proof:
I found how to do this, with instructions, here.
You'd need the WDK (Windows Driver Kit) in order to obtain the poolmon executable. This is sad because the poolmon executable doesn't have any dependencies, so you can copy it to any computer, by itself, and it will work.
Details on what the "SamsungRapidDiskFilter.sys" driver is can be found here. (Most noteably page 5) It is not a leak, but rather related to the "RAPID Mode" option that can be enabled/disabled in the Samsung Magician software. (Samsung's SSD management interface)
Also, the Broadcom wireless driver has a memory leak, which it is reported to have often, based on what I'm finding.

Musa: There are differences in opinion within Islamic law about the impurity of the dog, and that can often be exaggerated. It comes less from the religion itself than from cultural practices and not being exposed to dogs. Also, when immigrant families have to feed themselves, pet-keeping seems like a luxury. Besides religion, there's a racial/cultural component. And then at the end, people have to realize that keeping the dog is harder for him than it is for other people, not just because of religion but also because of social and economic factors. So I hope that people see that there are layers to that choice, and appreciate it.
For a dog to get a part in a film project often involves having the good luck of meeting the requirements of size, color and breed. However, there are tricks your dog can master that could help land a part. Dogs need to be social and have a solid stay in the sit, down or stand position. They should also be trained from a distance because most of the time, you can't be right next to your dog when shooting is in progress. Hand signals are best, especially when sound is required.
Debi Pool, of Animal Talent Pool, provided a list of some of the actions that were needed on command in the past: "Put head down, fetch, hold an item while in a sit or stand, dead dog, speak, eat on command, go to mark, come from mark, come through door and stop at mark, dig, scratch, tug on pant leg, lift leg to pee, skateboard, roller skate, wear clothing, sleep in a hammock, smell flowers, sit with other animals, walk with other animals, have air blown in face to get hair moving, have toenails painted or trimmed, be shampooed, get a haircut, and swim, just to name a few. Your dog does not need to know everything. He/she just needs to be willing to learn new things."
Much of Ayla's role was simply to be a good girl and hang out with the actor, but she did need a few special skills for her movie career. She needed to have a strong sit and down stay in a variety of non-standard locations, a bark on command, a reliable recall, the ability to watch or look at someone, and a willingness to get into and ride around in a box or duffle bag. None of these activities are difficult, but they demonstrate the value of clicker training, shaping and generalization skills.
Just as important is the trusting relationship that is developed when working with and training your dog. Using positive reinforcement methods can help you develop good behavior and a trusting relationship, transforming your dog into a star both on-screen and off.

Great question. From a safety perspective, I think that they are useful and perhaps even necessary. That said, I think they have contributed to some societal ills as well. My biggest observation is the loss of personal boundaries. Too often I've overheard relationship arguments, discussions about sex, and other things that used to be considered an intimate conversation. Texting in meetings and classes is something that I've also experienced. I've even heard people answer their cell phone in the bathroom while audibly relieving themselves. When did that become o.k.?
Beyond the loss of boundaries, we are creating a generation that is very technologically skilled at using the communication tools, while at the same time losing direct interpersonal skills. The texting feature is contributing to a loss in writing skills in my observation as well. I'm not against the technology, but I think we need to put it in perspective. If I had children they might have a cell phone, but it would be restricted to calling their parents, their grandparents and 911. Period.

Mummy's Boy : My Autobiography Paperback
by Larry Lamb
Acting wasn't a long-held childhood dream for Larry Lamb, instead his childhood memories are filled with recollections of his parents continuously fighting.
His mother and father were totally mismatched, the only thing they shared in common was their children and life in the Lamb household veered from laughter and happy moments to hysterical outbursts and terrifying episodes.
Larry, the eldest of three children was only too often caught in the middle and found himself at the centre of his father's raging anger, tormented by a man who struggled with the enormity of fatherhood.
When his parents' marriage finally broke down, Larry's mother moved out along with her baby daughter and as they grew up, Larry and his brother, Wesley, lived with their father, seeing their mother and sister only in rushed meetings at bus stops and in public parks.
For years Larry didn't know where his mum lived and he didn't dare talk of her at home, his mother's presence left a gaping hole.
As soon as Larry was old enough, he left home. Putting as much distance as he could between himself and his volatile childhood, he set off on a journey that would take him to work as an encyclopaedia salesman in Germany, in the oil business in Libya and Nova Scotia until he found himself starring on Broadway.
In time it would take him to Hollywood too and bring him leading roles on the Square in Eastenders and in Billericay in the much-loved comedy Gavin and Stacey.
Along the way Larry wasn't just trying to make his own way in the world, he was seeking the close female companionship he'd missed out on with his mother too.
After a series of relationships, he found himself back in England and father to George.
Facing fatherhood was a pivotal moment, so easily he could have fallen into the ways of his own father but whilst his marriage to George's mother didn't last, he couldn't let the same mistakes be repeated again and he vowed to have the relationship with his son that he'd never been able to have with his father. Mummy's Boy is by turns heartrending as Larry recalls the relationship broken beyond repair with his father, searingly honest as he describes the effect his childhood had in later life and hugely entertaining as he tells captivating tales of making it as an actor, breaking out from his little world in Essex and finding himself in a new life on stage and screen. 'What a life! I loved it. Almost as good as sitting with him and listening to his stories.' Rob Brydon 'A wonderful story of survival against the odds told with compassion and humour.
This is so much more than a showbiz autobiography.' Anne Robinson 'Mummy's Boy manages to be touching, funny and uniquely warm all at once.
A must-read.' Best

Review by LyzzyBee
(22 November 2012)Admittedly, I knew nothing of Lamb when I picked up this book, apart from his lovely character in the Gavin and Stacey series and the fact that he appeared in Eastenders as a villain. Unfortunately, he turns out not to be that attractive a character in real life, and not especially nice, especially to the (many) women in his life. He doesn't seem to have got a huge amount of self-knowledge from the extensive therapy sessions he describes attending and although he does tell stories against himself, the book never really engages and doesn't exactly light up the page. To be honest, he seems more fond of his house in France than most of his girlfriends, and the final chapters of the book, when he goes back to a couple of the locations of his youth, seem really muddled and an afterthought (there is a good bit about his appearance on Who Do You Think You Are, however). One that I'm glad I purchased cheaply from The Works, and will probably go on the BookCrossing pile

The Sirius/XM Radio app (Free) also has live audio of the World Cup, but there's no video, unfortunately. According to a press release, Sirius/XM will broadcast each of the 64 matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. If games are played simultaneously, additional channels will be added so you won't miss a thing. While the iPhone app is free, you'll still need a Sirius/XM subscription (which ranges from US$9.99 to US$16.99 a month), plus a premium online upgrade for $2.99 a month.

If you speak Spanish, Univison's Futbol app (Free) is a pretty comprehensive source for World Cup news and videos. The app has a dedicated section for World Cup coverage, and will offer results and live gamecasts once the tournament gets underway. The app doesn't specify if you'll be able to watch every World Cup match, but Univision will also be streaming live World Cup games on their football website. The app also supports push notifications for breaking news and score alerts.

MobiTV (Free) offers live and on-demand TV programming from over 35 channels. Most importantly for soccer fans, the MobiTV app broadcasts ESPN Mobile TV so you can catch live coverage of the World Cup this summer. Unfortunately, you don't get live World Cup video for free -- you'll have to sign up for a MobiTV subscription for US$9.99 a month (three- and six-month packages are also available). MobiTV is only compatible with the iPhone, so iPod touch and iPad users are out of luck for now.

As an alternative, the ESPN Radio app (US$2.99) has live streaming audio of the World Cup. This is a great app even if you're not a soccer fan, and even though it costs money, it's worth having just for the other sports coverage. The app offers live radio coverage of every World Cup match once the tournament starts, but you'll have to pay a one-time fee of US$4.99 to gain access. There are also daily podcasts, SportsCenter broadcasts, and popular ESPN radio shows.

ESPN's official 2010 FIFA World Cup app (Free) offers live audio streams of the tournament. You'll have to pay a one-time fee of US$7.99 (via an in-app purchase) to gain access to the live audio.

What is diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus (also called "diabetes") is caused by a problem with insulin. Insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into the body's cells where it can be turned into energy (see the FAQ Diabetes and Women).

FBI profiling not so foolproof
"...Now comes a group of psychologists at the University of Liverpool who conclude that FBI profiling of criminals is little more than cold reading and subjective validation at work. This was apparent to many people about ten years ago when Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber, was caught and the profile was matched to the man. The FBI said the Unabomber would be in his late 30's or early 40's. Kaczynski was 53 when caught. The profile was correct in predicting a white male, though this doesn't seem like a tough trait to guess. The FBI said he'd be 5'10" to 6' tall, 165 pounds, with reddish-blond hair, a thin mustache, and a ruddy complexion. Kaczynski was 5'8", weighed 143 pounds, had brown hair, pale skin, and was bearded. The profile predicted he would be a blue collar worker with a high school degree. Kaczynski hadn't had a job in 25 years and earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Michigan in addition to being a graduate of Harvard University. The FBI profile predicted the Unabomber would be a meticulously organized person, reclusive and having problems dealing with women. Kaczynski was a recluse (again, not a tough call) who apparently did not deal with women at all, but he was slovenly and unkempt. The FBI profile was wrong about almost everything regarding a man they'd been tracking for years.
The Liverpool psychologists argue that profiling won't work the way the FBI does it. (FBI profiling assumes a stable relationship between configurations of offense behaviors and background characteristics, which is not supported by the research evidence.) Second, they note that the FBI claims a high degree of accuracy for the method that supposedly shouldn't work. Then, they explain the illusion of accuracy as due to subjective validation. The whole sordid story is detailed in Malcom Gladwell's recent article in the New Yorker, "Dangerous Minds - criminal profiling made easy."
According to Gladwell, the psychologists tested the FBI's profile of serial sex-offender killers, who the profilers divide into two types based on their level of organization.
First, they [the psychologists] made a list of crime-scene characteristics generally considered to show organization: perhaps the victim was alive during the sex acts, or the body was posed in a certain way, or the murder weapon was missing, or the body was concealed, or torture and restraints were involved. Then they made a list of characteristics showing disorganization: perhaps the victim was beaten, the body was left in an isolated spot, the victim's belongings were scattered, or the murder weapon was improvised.
If the FBI was right, they reasoned, the crime-scene details on each of those two lists should "co-occur"—that is, if you see one or more organized traits in a crime, there should be a reasonably high probability of seeing other organized traits. When they looked at a sample of a hundred serial crimes, however, they couldn't find any support for the FBI's distinction. Crimes don't fall into one camp or the other. It turns out that they're almost always a mixture of a few key organized traits and a random array of disorganized traits.*
It also turns out that it shouldn't be surprising that the profile is bogus. It wasn't based on a representative sample. According to Gladwell, the FBI profilers who came up with the serial killer profile, John Douglas and Robert Ressler, chatted only with convicts who were in prison in California. Furthermore, they had no standardized protocol for interviewing their subjects. There are other reasons FBI profiles are bound to be inaccurate. I noted some of these in a newsletter five years ago. Even if the profilers got a representative sample of, say, serial rapists, they can never interview the ones they don't catch nor the ones they catch but don't convict. Also, it would be naive to believe that serial rapists or killers are going to be forthright and totally truthful in any interview.
FBI profiles are based on the assumption that there is a pattern where in fact there is none. The assumption is that facts about the crime will match up with facts about the criminal. The Liverpool psychologists tested this hypothesis:
the Liverpool group selected a hundred stranger rapes in the United Kingdom, classifying them according to twenty-eight variables, such as whether a disguise was worn, whether compliments were given, whether there was binding, gagging, or blindfolding, whether there was apologizing or the theft of personal property, and so on. They then looked at whether the patterns in the crimes corresponded to attributes of the criminals—like age, type of employment, ethnicity, level of education, marital status, number of prior convictions, type of prior convictions, and drug use. Were rapists who bind, gag, and blindfold more like one another than they were like rapists who, say, compliment and apologize? The answer is no—not even slightly.*
As one vocal critic of FBI profiling, Brent Turvey, put it: "The fact is that different offenders can exhibit the same behaviors for completely different reasons."* Turvey supports a method of profiling known as Behavioural Evidence Analysis, which is not discussed here or in Gladwell's article. "You've got a rapist who attacks a woman in the park and pulls her shirt up over her face," says Turvey. "Why? What does that mean? There are ten different things it could mean. It could mean he doesn't want to see her. It could mean he doesn't want her to see him. It could mean he wants to see her breasts, he wants to imagine someone else, he wants to incapacitate her arms—all of those are possibilities. You can't just look at one behavior in isolation."
Does this sound familiar? The same problem exists with the polygraph, a favorite tool of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The polygraph measures such things as heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration. The polygraph is not a lie detector because changes in heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration can be caused by many things. Nervousness, anger, sadness, embarrassment, and fear can all be causal factors in altering one's heart rate, blood pressure, or respiration rate. Having to go to the bathroom can also be causative. There are also a number of medical conditions such as colds, headaches, constipation, or neurological and muscular problems that can cause the physiological changes measured by the polygraph. The claim that an expert can tell when the changes are due to a lie and when they are due to other factors has never been proven. Why do so many people, in and out of law enforcement, believe the polygraph is a lie detector? For the same reason that many believe that profiling is accurate, that their daily horoscope is right on, that their tarot card reader is clairvoyant, that John Edward gets messages from the dead, that graphology can reveal the true character of a person, and that Rush Limbaugh is a national treasure: the belief is rooted in cold reading and subjective validation, and grows in soil fertilized with a lot of confirmation bias and communal reinforcement.
Laurence Alison, one of the leaders of the Liverpool group and the author of The Forensic Psychologist's Casebook: Psychological Profiling and Criminal Investigation, examined one of the FBI's prime exhibits for the validity of their profiling method, the profile of the so-called "rooftop killer." He found, according to Gladwell, that the profile was written in unverifiable, contradictory, and ambiguous language so that "it could support virtually any interpretation."
from Malcolm Gladwell's "Dangerous Minds"
Let's pretend that we're an FBI profiler. First question: race. The victim is white, so let's call the offender white. Let's say he's in his mid-twenties to early thirties, which is when the thirty-six men in the FBI's sample started killing. Is the crime organized or disorganized? Disorganized, clearly. It's on a rooftop, in the Bronx, in broad daylight—high risk. So what is the killer doing in the building at six-thirty in the morning? He could be some kind of serviceman, or he could live in the neighborhood. Either way, he appears to be familiar with the building. He's disorganized, though, so he's not stable. If he is employed, it's blue-collar work, at best. He probably has a prior offense, having to do with violence or sex. His relationships with women will be either nonexistent or deeply troubled. And the mutilation and the defecation are so strange that he's probably mentally ill or has some kind of substance-abuse problem. How does that sound? As it turns out, it's spot-on.
Alison "gave the details of the crime, the profile prepared by the FBI, and a description of the offender [who had been caught] to a group of senior police officers and forensic professionals in England." They rated the profile as highly accurate. Alison then gave another group of officers the same case materials to evaluate, except that he created an imaginary set of traits for the killer. Again, the officers rated the profile as highly accurate. Like Ray Hyman discovered years ago, it doesn't matter what you tell people; they'll validate your claims if they want you to be right. They'll ignore what doesn't fit and work hard to find meaning and significance in your reading or profile.
I hope that the police community reads Gladwell's account and recognizes that it is not an accident that some of them think that people claiming to be psychic sometimes seem to be right. They'll at least get a laugh, as I did, when Gladwell reports that after Douglas told a group of detectives what traits were likely in the bad guy they were after, one of the detectives asked him if he were psychic. He wanted to know because the FBI profiler was saying the same things a psychic had told them the week before.
If you want to learn more about cold reading, take a look at Skeptico's posting for Nov. 12. It's about tomorrow night's "Larry King Live" show that will feature two cold readers who call themselves mediums, James Van Praagh and John Edward. There is even a Bingo game card to help you see what is going on while you watch the performances—a good exercise for those new to the study of cold reading.
At least one psychic has made the connection between cold reading and profiling, although she doesn't have a clue what she's done. Julianna Suranyi of Brisbane, Australia, claims she's psychic and an intuitive profiler. She even offers seminars on profiling.

•new Psychological profiling 'worse than useless'
...according to a team of psychologists at Birmingham City University, the practice of offender profiling is deeply unscientific and risks bringing the field into disrepute....Behavioral profiling has never led to the direct apprehension of a serial killer, a murderer, or a spree killer...
•Whodunnit? by Jon Ronson
Criminal profilers were once the heroes of police work, nailing offenders with their astonishing psychological insights. So why did it all fall apart? "On 15 July 1992, 23-year-old Rachel Nickell was found murdered on Wimbledon Common. She'd been stabbed 49 times in front of her two-year-old son. The police, as had become customary in cases like this, asked [famous profiler Paul] Britton to draw up an offender profile. Britton visualized the crime scene: "Closing my eyes I tried to step back into the pretty woodland glade on Wimbledon Common... I rubbed my eyes until white stars bounced across the ceiling," he later wrote. "I'd been concentrating so hard it was difficult to refocus" – and emerged to say the killer would be a single man, a manual laborer who lived at home with his parents or alone in a bedsit within walking distance of Wimbledon Common, and owned a collection of pornography. His deviancy would be escalating, he added. This would be his first murder (it was messy and amateurish) but he'd already be known for minor sexual offences.
It is, in retrospect, sort of understandable why they wrongly believed Colin Stagg was their man. In a terrible twist of fate, he fitted Britton's profile even more snugly, in fact, than the actual killer, Robert Napper, would turn out to. For instance, Stagg did indeed live in a bedsit a short walk from the common, whereas Napper lived 17 miles across London, in Plumstead."
•"Criminal Profiling: Granfalloons and Gobbledygook." 2008. Brent Snook, Paul Gendreau, Craig Bennell, and Paul J. Taylor. Skeptic. volume 14, number 2, pp. 42-47. In this article, the authors claim that police and the general public believe profiling "works" for the same reasons that they believe psychic detectives are operationally useful. Believers rely on anecdotal evidence. There is significant communal reinforcement of the beliefs and a great deal of selective thinking and confirmation bias. There is widespread belief that profilers and psychics have some sort of expertise that others lack. They don't. The claims of both profilers and psychics are often vague or ambiguous, allowing for retroactive validation of just about anything claimed by the profiler or the psychic. The media feeds into the inability of many people to distinguish fact from fiction with its many television shows and movies that portray fantastic feats by profilers and psychics. In addition, with regard to criminal profiling, police and many laypersons put too much emphasis on personality characteristics and not enough on situational factors when evaluating behavior (what is called the fundamental attribution error)."
...I think it's right under everyone's noses and most don't see it. John wrote the note. Not Patsy. Despite what the profilers say.

They may charge a fee for it but they can usually replace the cow's cheese on an item with vegan cheese (example: even though they don't have a quesadilla on the vegan menu, they can make a vegan qusadilla for you if you just ask).

We are looking for a solution some what like small and efficient, there are lots of android applications in the market which are doing the same job very well and efficiently.

First objectives
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Sona with this build
|Cassiopeia's damage core is her poison. You perfectly counter that with your heal, Sona has better sustain in lane.
|Karthus needs sustain to stay alive in lane. You can harrass him every times you want. You have a similar range but Karthus doesn't have the autoattack plus. If you play close to your minions, his Q will deal you a bit of damage and you can heal it, is really not a problem.
Introduce myself
Hi there, I'm TiramisuDelMal from Mendoza, Argentina. I'm really sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm doing my best haha.[/b]
I play in Latin America South server, since 3 months ago, so I'm pretty new in this LoL stuff.
Personally, I don't like closed structures, I always try to break the meta with new alternatives, trying to propose new viables posibilities.
In this case, I bring to you this Sona mid AP guide. My win rate with her is really not bad, my ELO is low yet (Silver 5), but I'm trying, I'm not losing anything doing this haha (well, time I guess)
Play style
I explained in the "counter champions section" basically, so I'm gonna write only basics.
Early game: You try to farm as much you can. Sona's last hits are not the best, but if you try with Zilean then you will love Sona. Try to control lane push, use skills to charge your passive and poke with Q+AA when is possible. I recommend highly to keep your passive in stage 2, if your jungler or enemy jungler is near you can use offensively or deffensively your passive autoattack with E for slow your target. I always recommend buy in the first back to base a pink ward, then put it in one side of your lane an keep warded the other side with your trinket. In level 6 or 7 any objective can perish with R+Q+AA+Ignite.
Mid and late game: Remember that your Q has an aura, use it to destroy turrets and charge your passive to strike more powerful hits.
Sona at this points must have Lich Bane at least, with this item Q+AA will deal more than half of the life to a squishy enemy.
Team Fights: Sona has a very powerful ultimate, look for the moment to strike with it. Focus an objective and delete it with Q+AA after your ultimate (ignite if is necesary), use W to heal allies and E to escape/chase. In situations, you can charge your passive with W to save an ally for a powerful damage or with E to slow an enemy in order to escape or chase.
Sona in mid/late game is semi support. Your AP is strong, so your primary function is deal damage. But you have a impressive utility for your team, don't waste it. Other champions goes well with this play functionality, Zilean or Karma are good choices for mid laners with strong early game and mid/late game in semi support function.
Well, GG and stay strong. Bye!
Pros / Cons
- Strong burst damage
- Sustain
- Acceptable movility
- Great utility for your team
- Surprisingly!
- Squishy
- Vulnerable to CC
- Long cooldowns in early game

Hi -
Taking a quick 2 day trip over to Brussels next weekend. Although I am sure we will be doing the typically touristy activities like walking around the Grand Place, sampling incredible beers, chocolates, moules frites, waffles, oysters etc. We'd also like to get off the beaten path and do as the locals would. Does anyone out there have any 'must not miss' suggestions?
So far, possibilities on the list are the the Grand Place, Le Roy d'Espagne, Cantillion Brewery, Delirium Cafe, the Place du Jeu de Balle flea market, St. Catherine district for oysters, and Wittamer and Mary's for chocolate.
For food : Aux Armes de Bruxelles, Au Vieux Bruxelles, Les Brassins, L'Ogenblik,
Also, one thing I really enjoy is checking out foreign supermarkets - are there any close to the 'touristy' areas (Grand Place or Nord train station)?

Start smooth and accelerate rapidly with the Bobcat® electronic fuel injection (EFI) system. EFI helps your utility vehicle start easier in cold weather, since no choke is required. The system adjusts to temperature and altitude changes, giving you optimum performance in varying conditions.
When your utility vehicle has more horsepower, you can get more done in a day. Bobcat® utility vehicles deliver speed, acceleration and power, whether you're traveling or hauling heavy loads.
Get there faster. Bobcat utility vehicles offer a top speed of 35 mph combined with improved acceleration. With the optional speed kit on some models, you can travel up to 40 mph. Be more efficient, reduce your travel time and maximize your time on the job.
Whether gas or diesel fuels your productivity, Bobcat Company has a model that fits your needs. Match your utility vehicle fuel with the other equipment in your fleet.
Every Bobcat UTV model features rear de Dion suspension for towing and hauling. The weight of the trailer load is distributed directly to the tires without compressing the suspension, allowing for increased payload and towing capacities while still managing comfort.
Adjust the shocks with the turn of a wrench (which comes standard with machines featuring four adjustable coil over shocks) to soften the suspension for lighter loads and maximum comfort or adjust to a firmer setting for heavy payloads.
You can't control the terrain on the trail or on the job. But with Bobcat utility vehicles, you can get instant 4x4 power when you need it the most.
When you select four-wheel-drive mode, you can be ready for unexpected conditions. If the rear wheels start to lose traction, the front wheels engage to power you through difficult terrain.
Control the drive mode when your work leads you into changing environments. With your Bobcat utility vehicle, you can match the conditions:
When you need quick acceleration, CVT-driven models deliver the right kind of power. A CVT drive system maintains peak horsepower throughout the gearing range. That means you'll stay at peak power even during acceleration. You don't have to worry about setting a separate parking brake thanks to the park position on the transmission knob.
Enjoy better longevity, less maintenance and easier operation. Changing from forward to reverse is as simple as pressing the travel control pedal back and forth with your toe or heel — no gear shifting required.
The clutch-free design delivers steady torque to the wheels for better pulling power under high load applications. Tasks requiring greater speed management and frequent direction changes are easier too. Plow snow out of the way on narrow driveways using the snow blade or use the pallet fork to move palletized materials from one area to another.
Get the job done, no matter where your work takes you. Improved suspension and four-wheel disc brakes give Bobcat UTVs industry-leading payload and towing capacity.
The vehicle rated capacity — which includes occupant weight, cargo box load, and the weight of accessories — outperforms the competition. You can haul heavy loads and carry your tools at the same time. Sturdy suspension and strong brakes enable the machine to tackle heavy payloads with ease.

by Jack Cottrell (Notes) on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 12:06pm
QUESTION: Regarding NT teaching on church worship, I have a question about how apostolic precedent relates to singing praises as an act of public worship. Regarding apostolic precedent, you have said, "Since the apostles were the primary authoritative teachers in the early church, we accept the practice of these acts of worship ['musical praise, prayer, the Lord's Supper, and giving'], as perpetually binding upon the church by the authority of apostolic precedent" (Cottrell, The Faith Once for All, pp. 449-450). Now, most church music scholars grant that the apostles and the early church sang a cappella in a world where instruments abounded. So, if you agree that the apostolic church sang a cappella, why do you believe a cappella singing is NOT
perpetually binding upon the church by the authority of apostolic precedent?
ANSWER: This is a very perceptive question. I see apostolic precedent as inherent in the essence of the apostolic task and apostolic authority. Jesus appointed the apostles to carry out the task of establishing the church. The church is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone" (Eph. 2:20, ESV). The prophets in this case are the NT prophets (Eph. 3:5), who along with the apostles were recipients of new revelation for this NT era. Jesus specifically promised the apostles that the Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth necessary for their tasks (John 16:12-13). The gift of apostles is of first importance in the church (1 Cor. 12:28). In addition to being able to give authoritative teaching from God, they exercised a general authoritative leadership in all matters regarding the church.
This general authoritative leadership applies not only to the apostles' specific teachings as recorded in the Bible. It also applies to early church practices that are recorded in the Bible (especially Acts) that obviously have the approval of the apostles, and which would appear to have been the result of apostolic teachings given orally to the early church but not specifically recorded in Scripture. Such practices are regarded as authoritative, on the basis on this concept of "apostolic precedent." I.e., the precedent set by the early church, under the guidance of the apostles, is authoritative for our current way of "being the church."
One aspect of apostolic precedence that must be emphasized, however, is its connection with Biblical authority. I.e., if the apostles instructed the early church regarding a practice that was intended to be perpetual in the church, we must conclude that the Bible will have recorded that precedent. If nothing is mentioned in the Bible one way or the other about a particular activity, then we have no basis for assuming that the rule of apostolic precedent applies to it. If something is specifically mentioned, though, I take that as "precedential" (to coin a word). This would apply, e.g., to the specification of the first day of the week as the time for gathering to take the Lord's Supper (Acts 20:7). But if nothing at all is mentioned about an activity, either as practiced or as omitted, there is no precedent either way. This is the essence of silence. "Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent." I.e., we cannot insert a rule where the Bible has none.
This would apply to a host of things, including the use of a musical instrument in worship, plus just about everything I am aware of that is used in the a cappella world as a basis of division. In my judgment, on the one hand, since the NT is silent about whether the early church used instruments in their musical worship, we cannot say one way or the other if they did or not. It is a fallacy to declare that they did not, in view of the fact that it is not mentioned specifically either way. But on the other hand, even if we assume that the early church did NOT use instruments in their musical worship, we still cannot apply the rule of apostolic precedent in this case since such omission is not specifically mentioned in the Biblical records. I.e., there is no text that says or implies, "The Christians in Antioch [or wherever] sang worship songs without using an instrument." As an analogy, there is no text that says or implies, "The Christians in Antioch did not sit down- while singing worship songs." If nothing is said about a practice one way or the other, it is wrong (in more ways than one) to try to apply apostolic precedent to it.
I have pointed out elsewhere that there is actually no clear NT reference to a Christian assembly engaged in congregational singing, either by command or by example. Most texts that mention singing, e.g., Eph. 5:19; Heb. 13:15; Acts 16:25, do not clearly refer to an assembly. The only text that clearly connects musical praise with an assembly is 1 Cor. 14:26, but this does not seem to refer to congregational singing. This probably includes 1 Cor. 14:15 also.

Woodbury, MN (PressExposure) May 24, 2008 -- EXPERT Webmasters today announced a new cheat sheet that explains the complete process of search engine optimization in a concise and easy-to-follow cheat sheet that both beginners and SEO Consultants can use.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is the process of improving a website and its presence on the internet to gain more targeted visitors from the organic (non-paid) listings in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN. SEO focuses not only on modifying a website but on acquiring quality links from others and monitoring website traffic to find ways to further optimize a website for higher search engine rankings for targeted keyword phrases.
"Even if you know absolutely nothing about search engine optimization and you have someone in your company or an SEO Consultant to do it all for you, you need to know what search engine optimization is really about and what it takes to do it effectively. With your business's bottom line at stake, this is the only way for you to truly know if your SEO efforts are being maximized." said Ron Rowan, owner of EXPERT Webmasters.
The cheat sheet was created so a beginner could quickly understand what SEO is and what is involved with the SEO process. However, the cheat sheet provides hundreds of techniques, tips and tools that even a SEO Consultant could use to help any website achieve higher search engine rankings.
"Just like your business, your website's success greatly depends on three things: Location, Location, Location. In the online world, those locations happen to be Google, Yahoo, MSN. However, it just isn't enough to be included in these search engines anymore. You need to be located in prominent places within these where millions can easily see you. Without the right strategies to follow, your web pages will be as lost in Google Land, Yahooville and MSN Country as millions of others are." added Ron Rowan.

2015 was a very special year for Design International, as the architecture practice celebrated their 50th anniversary. Growing across the globe over the last 5 decades, the practice is now well established with headquarters in London, and further offices in Shanghai and Milan.
After a very successful MAPIC in November 2015, the team then headed to New York City for the ICSC National Dealmaking Forum to exhibit before taking a well-deserved break over the Christmas period. The new year started with a bang seeing the celebrations of the growth of the group in Asia, with the team moving into a larger office in Shanghai. With the successful operation in Shanghai, run by Design Director Kuncara Wikacsana, the group has gone from strength to strength.
DI is also becoming more and more active in the Middle East, working very closely with Lulu Group International on several retail projects. At MAPIC 2015, Design International hosted a breakfast briefing with Lulu Group International where they presented new projects Avenues Mall, Silicon Oasis, and Avenues Mall, Sharjah, to members of the press. Since then, the pair have also started working together on various other projects in India and Abu Dhabi.
When asked on what he considered the most significant milestone for the group, CEO Davide Padoa commented, "There are quite a number of projects that we feel very close to, that opened up a new chapter for the company. Starting with recent projects, one that made a big difference to us was Morocco Mall in Casablanca that we opened four years ago in December 2011."
The Morocco Mall project in particular, has underlined the ability of Design International to pioneer retail in new countries which is what has made the practice prosper over the past 50 years.
