November 29, 2011 by staff
Staples Dunder Mifflin Overpriced Paper 34.99 A Carton, Here's something fun for the TV-loving office: Dunder Mifflin copy paper, straight out of the NBC show "The Office."
No, you won't get to buy it from Jim Halpert — or better yet, from the disgruntled Dwight Schrute. But it comes in a box bearing the Dunder Mifflin logo and slogans such as "Our motto is, Quabity First" and "Get Your Scrant on."
The paper is sold through Quill.com, a subsidiary of Staples.
Dunder Mifflin paper costs $34.99 a carton on sale, still a considerable markup over your everyday copy paper.

There's something new goin' down, and Orrin Hatch sees it
Okay, so today has become Libertarians and Conservatives Day at Western Free Press. So be it. A recognition of our shared core ideology and Enlightenment provenance, and an alliance against statism, may be the essential element in saving the Republic. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly call for such an alliance.
In three previous posts, I argue that point passionately, if not assiduously. Not only that such an alliance is necessary and rational, but that a move is already underway in that direction. Here is another piece of evidence that the change is in progress, and that there is a growing synergy of conservatism and libertarianism: Orrin Hatch has accused those creating a primary challenge against him as "radical libertarians"!
Hatch was first elected to the Senate in 1976. This year, major conservative groups announced their intention of defeating Hatch — who they deemed too moderate. FreedomWorks has reportedly spent at least $670,000 attacking Hatch this cycle.
But the long-time senator isn't sitting on his hands. Hatch told NPR's Howard Berkes, "These people are not conservatives. They're not Republicans."
"They're radical libertarians and I'm doggone offended by it," he said.
The wisdom, electorally, of challenging Hatch may be questionable, as suggested at Hot Air, but Hatch calling FreedomWorks and tea partiers "radical libertarians" is a small but telling reminder that change is afoot.
Hatch is wrong to say that FreedomWorks and tea partiers aren't conservatives. They are. But they are also part of a new kind of conservative—one who far better understands his own core ideology, and who seeks to actuate that core in public policy and elections. That ideology is the classical liberalism of the European Enlightenment that informed the Founders when drafting the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
It is also the core ideology of libertarianism. Hatch may be lashing out in anger, but his statement shows that he recognizes that something new is goin' down. We are on the cusp of change.

Typically, my preferred style of travel–if it hasn't become obvious yet–is slow and thorough; plodding, one might even say.
In South America, I spent anywhere from three to nine weeks in every country I visited, limiting myself to a handful of cities so as not to spread my time too thin.
I love to get to know a new destination well, beyond the major sites and tourist attractions and Lonely Planet "Top Picks." I like to wander aimlessly around cities taking in the energy, the nuances, and the distinct flavors of life each place has to offer.
I like to think Mak and I achieved this to some degree in Panama despite flying through the country in just 10 short days, a quick and dirty visit by my standards.
How could we possibly achieve slow travel with only 10 days in a country, you ask?
Quite simple, really–we only visited two destinations (not counting our sailing trip through the San Blas Islands, of course–only mainland Panama).
Bocas del Toro, a stunning, postcard-worthy archipelago in the Caribbean a few hours' drive from the Costa Rican border, was the first on our two-stop tour of Panama.
The glowing reputation of Bocas del Toro certainly preceded it; having been underwhelmed by many of the beaches we'd seen in Central America up until that point, I was already daydreaming of the white sand and leaning palm trees that awaited us in Bocas as we boarded our ferry from the mainland.
We had just come that morning from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, having arranged a door-to-door transfer and border crossing all in one convenient package. The price was great ($26 for everything) and saved us the hassle involved with DIY border crossings, and with our onward travel secured, the process was a breeze.
The ferry was taking us to Bocas del Toro Town on the main island of the archipelago, Isla Colón. We then hopped on a $1 water taxi for the quick jaunt to the smaller Isla Carenero that was home to the hostel my traveling friends just wouldn't shut up about, Aqua Lounge.
They were absolutely right to rave about this place. Built entirely over the water, Aqua Lounge is half hostel, half water park. Swimming holes, swings, a trampoline, and a slackline were all at our disposal to indulge our inner 8-year-olds and stay cool in the unrelenting Caribbean heat. Indoors, hammocks were slung everywhere and friendly hostel dogs nuzzled their perpetually wet muzzles into your hand at every opportunity.
Almost immediately upon arrival, we made friends with a group of Canadian girls and joined their tour for the following day. We visited Dolphin Bay, chilled on beautiful Zapatilla beach, snorkeled terrifyingly close to jellyfish, and hunted for starfish and sloths.
The wildlife sightings were rather disappointing and I didn't much care for the way the boats chased the dolphins around the bay when we did finally find them, but the rest of the day was relaxed and carefree, a Cerveza Panama in-hand at all times.
And it was great to have new friends to hang out with. Not that Mak and I don't love each other, but too much time with the same friend can drive a person…well…you know. But in nine years of friendship we haven't killed each other, so there's that.
The next few days were spent wandering Bocas Town discovering the most delicious jerk chicken, a pineapple that refused to be like all the other pineapples, cool local markets, and the chilled out essence of the Caribbean beach town.
We debated heavily how to spend our final day in Bocas del Toro; should we visit Starfish Beach? Red Frog Beach? Bird Island? But what I really wanted to try ever since reading about my friend Alex's experience earlier this year? Deepboarding.
Imagine, if you will, that waterskiing and snorkeling got together one night. Maybe they drank a little too much, maybe some mistakes were made…and nine months later (or whatever the gestation period is for water sports) a baby was born, and they named it Deepboarding.
Sometimes known as coral surfing, this aquatic adventure involves being pulled behind a boat while holding onto a curved piece of plastic that allows you to dive deep under the water and resurface for air as needed with a simple flick of the wrists.
With nothing more than a head strap to secure my GoPro, I was unable to get any useable footage of this experience. What I do have are some pretty spectacular shots of the secluded beach where we snorkeled, a much less jellyfishy location than our previous tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Undersea Panama ($25 for deepboarding and snorkeling), but I've heard mixed reviews so keep in mind they are not the only such tour operator in town.
All up, I was pretty satisfied with how our days were spent in Bocas del Toro. It didn't feel rushed, we squeezed in a fair amount of activities, exploring and chilling, and when it came time for us to shake the sand out of our bags and head for our next destination, we were ready.
Coming up in Part 2 of the Quick & Dirty Panama Tour: Panama City.
Do you prefer to spend less time in more destinations, or more time in fewer destinations when you travel?

Ryan Meadows (AKA Ryan Jones, Ryan) is a hot porn star with a pierced clit and tongue. She was born in the United States on July 9, 1982, and her career as an adult actress began in 2001. If you're doing the math, that means that she was just a fresh-faced teenager when her pussy first appeared totally nude on camera. Standing at 5'11", she's a tall glass of water, who towers over the competition no matter what position she finds herself in. Her measurements are 36-25-33, and her B-cup boobs fit her frame perfectly.
Before her retirement in 2005, she was cast in over 50 scenes, and her content runs the gambit, from solo masturbation clips (Masturbation Sensations 6), to cum swapping ass-to-mouth anal clips (Beverly Hills 9021-ho 3). Tony Tedeschi gets to feel how wet her fuck holes get in their scene together for Extreme Teen 24. With a whole lot of buttfucking and a facial moneyshot to finish things off, that clip is one of her best, though Ryan's blowjob in Chocolate Oral Delights 3 gives that one a run for its money. Mr. Marcus is the recepient of her saliva, and he fucks Ryan's throat like a champ, just like you've come to expect.

Overview of Paul of Tarsus
Paul of Tarsus is seen as a significant figure
early development of Christianity. There are several reasons for this, and your essay is going to focus on a handful of these elements
Over the course of this term, we'll be looking at a variety of Paul's contributions to Christianity. This will allow us to choose the most important and relevant parts of Paul's life to focus on during our essays.
Let's begin with an today with an overview of Paul's life
One of the most common misconceptions about the origins of Christianity is that people assume Jesus set up the new religion...
This is at times a hotly debated topic, but essentially, Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi living in 1st century Judea, and had no intentions of creating a new religion.
Jesus teachings... Justice... Mercy... Returning to the original meaning of Judaism... God is on the side of the suffering, the impoverished... basically, Jesus core teachings involved this pattern:
"You've heard it said ... but I tell you ..."
Reinterpretation... a new way of looking at things... His miracles can be seen in the same light
Most modern Biblical scholars assert that Jesus' mission was not to set out to set up a new religion that divided itself from Judaism.
Rather, this became a necessity later on when conflict between the two groups peaked several years after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus.
This conflict arose for a variety of reasons. What do you think they were?
(Use your extensive memory of the Year 11 SOR syllabus to make some guesses)
Paul of Tarsus
Paul played a major role in this conflict... His story, however, begins much earlier than the clash between Christians and Hebrews
Paul is often considered to be one of Christianity's most important early founders. It was Paul who explained the core elements of Jesus' message and ministry to the early followers of Jesus.
Before Paul, followers of Jesus were simply a sect (like the Essenes, Zealots, Pharisees and Sadducees) within the greater whole of Judaism. He took on the task of spreading the teachings of Jesus to the Greco-Roman world.
His main contributions can be seen in
1. Preaching of Christianity to the non-Jewish world
4. His consolidation of Christian belief
3. His writings
2. Confirming Christianity as a separate Religion to Judaism
Born at Tarsus
10 ce

28 ce

Arrest, imprisonment and execution
60-67 ce
Originally named Saul (Asked for... God answers... a name of privilege and honour)
Tarsus was a centre of commerce in the Roman empire at this time. It was located on the Mediterranean Sea in what is now known as Turkey. At the time, this area was known as Asia Minor, and Tarsus was a pivotal city.
One of the more prestigious universities in the Roman empire was based in Tarsus
Trade routes from Rome out to the Eastern reaches of the empire (Arabia, India etc.) rand directly through Tarsus. Thus, it was a very cosmopolitan location, with a great deal of cultural, religious and financial diversity travelling through the gates on a daily basis.
Growing up in this environment gave a young Saul access to a wealth of academic, financial and cultural understanding.
Rabbinical student in Jerusalem
Age 18
Studied under a famous Rabbi named
Only the best of the best got the chance
to study to be a Rabbi
Thus, he was intellectually gifted, amongst the smartest of the Jewish people at his time
Persecution of Christians breaks out in
Paul, being on of the leading Pharisees of his time engaged in this persecution, and was the Sanhedrin's representative at the execution of the first Christian Martyr
After the persecution of Christians began, followers of Jesus began to spread around the Roman world. Paul then gained permission from his 'employers' at the Sanhedrin to chase these people down, imprison them and have them executed. Thus, he was ORIGINALLY a strongly anti-Christian person
On his way to Damascus (a town in Syria, 217km north east of Jerusalem) to capture leaders of the Jesus movement, Paul had an encounter with God. This experience changed his life, and turned him around. From that moment, he became a dedicated follower of Jesus, and spent the remainder of his life in service to the cause he'd previously sought to destroy.
After this life change, Paul spent several years meditating on and studying the scriptures he'd learned as a Rabbi in training. His time in the Jewish scripture allowed him to understand the meaning behind the life of Jesus, and that the real purpose of the Messiah was to serve the entire world, not just the Jewish race & religion
First Missionary Journey
After his conversion to Christianity, Paul undertook a series of journeys around the Mediterranean Sea. Paul was the ideal person to carry this out as he was educated in Jewish religion and culture, and had also grown up immersed in Greek culture in the town of Tarsus. Consequently, he was able to PRESENT JESUS IN A CULTURALLY RELEVANT WAY TO PEOPLE WHO HAD NO BACKGROUND IN JUDAISM.
On the first journey, he visited a variety of ports and key cities around the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Why do you think he visited these places?
While on his journeys, Paul began writing letters to churches. These letters had a few purposes:
1. Introducing himself before he arrived in their town
2. Keeping in touch with people he'd previously visited
3. Theology & Doctrine (What did Jesus do? How should we respond
4. Ethical and moral teachings
Having spent time navigating the complexities of the cultural divide between the Jews and Greeks, Paul noticed that there were some Jewish religious practices that didn't make sense to Greeks (gentiles)
Early Christians expected Greek converts to Christianity to follow all of their religious, dietary and social customs in order to be a part of the early Christian movement. Paul (amongst others) saw this is counterproductive to the development of Christianity.
A debate began over this issue, which resulted in a gathering of Christian leaders from around Judea, Asia Minor and the rest of the Roman empire. This became known as the Council of Jerusalem (or Apostolic Council). Paul argued his perspective against other key leaders (including Peter & James who had been close personal friends of Jesus).
This story can be found in Acts 15
Issues discussed include...
After this, Paul began travelling again to spread Christianity, having freedom to express Christianity in a new way. After the Council of Jerusalem, Greek converts were no longer required to follow Jewish customs to be a part of Christianity.
These journeys are known as Paul's 2nd and 3rd Missionary Journeys
Over his missionary journeys, Paul was arrested many times by Greek, Roman and Jewish authorities. On many of these occasions, he was able to talk his way out of trouble. This suggests he was an extremely good communicator.
Eventually, however, he caused enough social impact on the Jewish religion and Roman Empire that the leaders of both those groups sought a final solution to the problem of Christianity. Paul (amongst others) was placed under arrest, and were eventually executed.
His long term impact remains pivotal in the development of Christianity in several key areas:
1. Geographical expansion
2. Numeric expansion
3. Theological growth
4. Doctrinal growth
5. Ethical framework
6. Social influence
7. Setting in motion the events that split Christianity from Judaism, establishing it as the distinct, living religion that it is today
amongst many others...
Your job in this essay is to examine this story on a deeper level, and establish your opinion on the core developments Paul set in motion.
Essay question:
Analyse the contribution that Paul of Tarsus had on the development and expression of Christianity.
Council of Jerusalem
Acts 15
The Message (MSG)
To Let Outsiders Inside
15 1-2 It wasn't long before some Jews showed up from Judea insisting that everyone be circumcised: "If you're not circumcised in the Mosaic fashion, you can't be saved." Paul and Barnabas were up on their feet at once in fierce protest. The church decided to resolve the matter by sending Paul, Barnabas, and a few others to put it before the apostles and leaders in Jerusalem.
3 After they were sent off and on their way, they told everyone they met as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria about the breakthrough to the non-Jewish outsiders. Everyone who heard the news cheered—it was terrific news!
4-5 When they got to Jerusalem, Paul and Barnabas were graciously received by the whole church, including the apostles and leaders. They reported on their recent journey and how God had used them to open things up to the outsiders. Some Pharisees stood up to say their piece. They had become believers, but continued to hold to the hard party line of the Pharisees. "You have to circumcise the pagan converts," they said. "You must make them keep the Law of Moses."
6-9 The apostles and leaders called a special meeting to consider the matter. The arguments went on and on, back and forth, getting more and more heated. Then Peter took the floor: "Friends, you well know that from early on God made it quite plain that he wanted the pagans to hear the Message of this good news and embrace it—and not in any secondhand or roundabout way, but firsthand, straight from my mouth. And God, who can't be fooled by any pretense on our part but always knows a person's thoughts, gave them the Holy Spirit exactly as he gave him to us. He treated the outsiders exactly as he treated us, beginning at the very center of who they were and working from that center outward, cleaning up their lives as they trusted and believed him.
10-11 "So why are you now trying to out-god God, loading these new believers down with rules that crushed our ancestors and crushed us, too? Don't we believe that we are saved because the Master Jesus amazingly and out of sheer generosity moved to save us just as he did those from beyond our nation? So what are we arguing about?"
12-13 There was dead silence. No one said a word. With the room quiet, Barnabas and Paul reported matter-of-factly on the miracles and wonders God had done among the other nations through their ministry. The silence deepened; you could hear a pin drop.
13-18 James broke the silence. "Friends, listen. Simeon has told us the story of how God at the very outset made sure that racial outsiders were included. This is in perfect agreement with the words of the prophets:
After this, I'm coming back;
I'll rebuild David's ruined house;
I'll put all the pieces together again;
I'll make it look like new
So outsiders who seek will find,
so they'll have a place to come to,
All the pagan peoples
included in what I'm doing.
"God said it and now he's doing it. It's no afterthought; he's always known he would do this.
19-21 "So here is my decision: We're not going to unnecessarily burden non-Jewish people who turn to the Master. We'll write them a letter and tell them, 'Be careful to not get involved in activities connected with idols, to guard the morality of sex and marriage, to not serve food offensive to Jewish Christians—blood, for instance.' This is basic wisdom from Moses, preached and honored for centuries now in city after city as we have met and kept the Sabbath."
22-23 Everyone agreed: apostles, leaders, all the people. They picked Judas (nicknamed Barsabbas) and Silas—they both carried considerable weight in the church—and sent them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas with this letter:
From the apostles and leaders, your friends, to our friends in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
24-27 We heard that some men from our church went to you and said things that confused and upset you. Mind you, they had no authority from us; we didn't send them. We have agreed unanimously to pick representatives and send them to you with our good friends Barnabas and Paul. We picked men we knew you could trust, Judas and Silas—they've looked death in the face time and again for the sake of our Master Jesus Christ. We've sent them to confirm in a face-to-face meeting with you what we've written.
28-29 It seemed to the Holy Spirit and to us that you should not be saddled with any crushing burden, but be responsible only for these bare necessities: Be careful not to get involved in activities connected with idols; avoid serving food offensive to Jewish Christians (blood, for instance); and guard the morality of sex and marriage.
These guidelines are sufficient to keep relations congenial between us. And God be with you

Came across this on tumblr. I recognize this tattooed woman from a book I have on tribal tattoos from across the world. The photo was taken in the 1920's somewhere in Taiwan and I'm pretty certain she belongs to a Taiwanese aboriginal tribe known as The Saisiat people. I remember once telling an ex boyfriend that Taiwanese had aborigines only to be told that aborigines only existed in Australia. Funny how some people would rather insist on their own ignorance than acknowledge that the world might be different from what they know.

I've finally reached the 20 day mark of this trip to China, and am now on my way to Taiwan for a few days. Don't know what the internet situation is going to be like so here are some random photos. This was taken during the Tombsweeping Holiday a week ago, outside of a mall. The Chinese version of power wheels I guess? Except your dad fits in the back.
Thumbs down for everyone, except us! Duh!
I started to look around and somehow all the kids started to match their scooters
Except this one..

Examination Anxieties
Once again the Board exams are round the corner. The students as well as the parents have suddenly turned religious. The influx of students in the temples is bound to increase. And many are found visiting their masters (Gurujis) for blessings. We also come across these gurujis blessing the writing instruments (pens) of the students. In some schools havans are also performed to inculcate a religious feeling. Some pundits advise students to wear a particular color of clothes during the exams, or collect the question paper in the left hand, close the eyes, remember your 'isht devta'(god), and then start writing the exams. Parents too turn to gods seeking blessings for their wards to score better. The faith in propitiating gods, fasting and invoking gods with 'Mannats' will reach it pinnacle till the month of March. And 'uske baad'?
O' mom, I am not able to concentrate; the children are often heard crying during these days. 'This time I will not be able to perform' some fear. With so much of revisions yet to take place their anxiety levels increase.
Recently a 11 year old child is reported to have stage managed his own kidnapping to avoid exams.
'I was scared of the English paper, and hence escaped it' he admitted. One can imagine the levels of anxieties building up in the young minds.
'I was scared of the English paper, and hence escaped it' he admitted. One can imagine the levels of anxieties building up in the young minds.
What these children need to build confidence instead of anxiety to face the annual feature. Teachers and parents must try to be more friendly with them, take them in confidence, and make them believe "yes you can do it, and will do it" are the words they love to listen again and again. Play down their levels of anxiety before the anxiety overtakes their psyche. Support them well; stay awake with them at least if you cannot help them in their studies. Pamper them in your embrace. Take them to the centers of their examinations and also pick them up if possible. Make them comfortable with other anxieties of missing the public conveyance, or missing their roll number or ID proof. Make them believe that you are with them instead of putting a Damocles sword on their necks to perform or perish.
My good luck to all the students, moms and pops. I also seek the masters to come out with some anxiety running down mechanisms to help the children.

Russian doll
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"In Russia, Dolls open YOU"
~ Russian reversal on Russian Dolls
|Russian Doll
A typical Russian doll family.
|Scientific classification
Russian dolls are obese women made out of wood that cannot stop giving birth. Another name for them is Matryoshka, coming from "Macintosh".
edit Origin
The first Russian doll goes back to the 17th century when a old lady made out of wood called "Babushka" would hold travelling shows of women made out of wood dancing around. Years later, Lords would pay women made out of wood to reproduce in front of them. It became popular to have one on your shelf.
edit The Dark AgesUnfortunately, the Soviets invaded Russia. They kept Russian dolls locked away in Concentration camps, and any children that they produced were kidnapped and used as slaves. However, the Communists were defeated by the Fabergé egg army and the Russian dolls were released from the camps.
edit Russian Dolls today
Today, Russian dolls like like any normal family. They live, they breathe they die, well, actually, they can't die. Many have gone on to marry Russian presidents.

However, up to 500Hz apparently covers most of the range used by baleen whales (thank you, Wikipedia ), which could be very useful. (BTW, isn't Loligo now Doryteuthis? Tsk, tsk.)
I have been trying to find out what commonly available things make noises at their hearing range. It would be interesting to create a "dinner bell" if I could find something appropriate. Anyone with a clue?
A loud clicking noises, I always hear them when I'm diving.....Like the sound made by those antique tin alligators that clicked. I have thought would make a good 'dinner bell', loud repetitive clicking.
Or as a kid we used to bend the lids from glass Snapple bottles and they would click really loud. That woudl be perfect too.
Used to use those clickers to train my dog!
I have found several dog clickers and toy clickers and I may order one but first I want to find something that I know is within the 400-1000 hz range noted in the octopus hearing article last year. Since this article mentions 500hz I am using that frequency to search. So far I have found that the low note on a car horn is in this range but I am still looking for something practical.
I found one project buzzer with a 300-500hz range but how would I know (without buying test equipment) what the actual output is?
you can check the frequencies of stuff around the house here.
You should also be able to download a program that will output whatever frequency you tell it. I have one on my iphone.
found it Signal generator:
Humm, maybe I will look for a small cheap recording device since we don't have a computer near the tanks.
NOW look what you have started. If they had an octopus I could not resist (and still may not) but I am afraid the talking dolphin would scare them
this paper is fantastic. An incredible amount of high-precision work to do those experiments...

Prince Harry gets stuck into a game of wheelchair AFL at a Solider Recovery Centre in Australia
Polo may be his sport of choice but Prince Harry couldn't resist a game of wheelchair AFL this week as he continues the Australian Army's world tour.
The Prince visited the Kununurra region in the remote bushland of Western Australia, which is more than 500km south the nearest city Darwin.
Prince Harry, or Captain Wales as he is known in the army, spent time with the elders and children of Wuggubugan while on patrol as part of NORFORCE's operations in the region.
After spending time with injured and wounded soldiers, Harry joined in a game of Wheelchair AFL with players from the recovery centre and 1st Brigade.
Speaking to ABC news, Barry Trust a resident of the township said: "He just rocked up and is a real delightful chap."
Mr Trust revealed that Harry admitted that he was contemplating a move to Australia.
"He'd love to - he said he'd love to live out this way, to get away from the media," he said.
"It was pretty exciting - especially for the kids."
The Prince began his month-long tour with the Australian Defence Force on Monday when he spent his first day paying respects at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Canberra.
Prince Harry is said to be looking forward to "the new chapter" of his life after he announced that his 10-year-career will come to a close in May

Seattle City Councilmember Lorena González Endorses Sen. Pramila Jayapal's Progressive Campaign for Congress
Today, I am proud to announce that I am endorsing my friend, Pramila Jayapal, for Congress in the 7th Congressional District of Washington State.
Pramila and I are not only friends; we've worked together for almost a decade. If we elect Pramila to be our next 7th District Congressmember, the people of our district will be lucky to have someone with strong and demonstrated core values of justice and equity. Pramila is a fighter and will ensure that our Country advances together toward the American Dream.
Pramila and I first worked together on a Police Accountability panel back in 2007, appointed by Mayor Greg Nickels. Later, I was deeply honored when Pramila asked me to join the Board of OneAmerica, the immigrant rights organization that she founded and grew into the powerhouse that it is today.
As a civil rights attorney and advocate, I've worked closely with Pramila on immigrant, civil and human rights here in Seattle, across the State and nationally. She played in integral role in anchoring this movement here and nationally to push Congress towards helping to bring 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and into the light of the American Dream.
I'm endorsing Pramila for three reasons.
First, Pramila has the heart and the voice to lead us to justice. She is willing to speak out on issues when no one else will. From post-9/11 to working on immigration issues more than 15 years ago when immigration reform was far more controversial than it is today, Pramila has shown that she is grounded in deep core principles and values.
Second, Pramila is effective. I have watched her bring the City's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs into being, lead the State's largest voter registration drive ever, and negotiate across the table to bring conservative and liberal, Democrat and Republican together toward common ground.
Finally, Pramila inspires leadership in others. She brings women and people of color, young people and voices often marginalized into the picture and promotes the leadership of others. I know because that is exactly what she has done with me.
I am lucky to call her a friend, I am proud to endorse her candidacy for the 7th Congressional District, and I will fight to get her elected this November! She is a proven and experienced leader with a huge heart and a vision that inspires all of us.
Please help Pramila get to Congress by donating HERE.

Broadway Limited BLI-2161 USRA Heavy Mikado 2-8-2, SOU #4887, w/ Paragon2 Sound/DC/DCC, HO
For the first time in the Paragon2 series, BLI is bringing out the USRA Light and Heavy 2-8-2 designs, commonly called Heavy Mikados and Light Mikados. There were 233 original USRA Heavy 2-8-2's built plus another 957 copies, covering 23 railroads. It was an extremely successful design. The USRA Heavy Mikados used pretty much the same running gear as the Light Mik's, but the boilers were 10 inches larger in diameter and they had larger cylinders as well. Tractive effort was about 10% higher for the heavy 2-8-2's.
As for the USRA Light Mikados, the USRA built 625 total, with 641 copies built after the USRA ended control. With copies, over 50 railroads used the USRA Light 2-8-2's.
BLI's models follow the original designs closely. Railroad specific variations are not modeled on these locomotives. In most instances we offer two locomotive numbers for each railroad, and we are offering a painted model (black) with no lettering.
NOTICE: Due to insufficient boiler diameter in the USRA Mikados, these units will not have smoke units.
Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon2: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives. These DC and DCC-Sound equipped locomotives feature the ALL-NEW Paragon2 sound and control system. Each Paragon2 locomotive comes with BLI's own integral DCC Decoder factory installed.

George I ( Greek : Γεώργιος Α΄ , Βασιλεύς των Ελλήνων , Geórgios Α΄, Vasiléfs ton Ellínon ; 24 December 1845 – 18 March 1913) was King of Greece from 1863 to 1913. Originally a Danish prince , George was only 17 years old when he was elected king by the Greek National Assembly , which had deposed the former king Otto . His nomination was both suggested and supported by the Great Powers (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , the Second French Empire and the Russian Empire ). He became the first monarch of a new Greek dynasty .George's reign of almost 50 years (the longest in modern Greek history ) was characterized by territorial gains as Greece established its place in pre- World War I Europe.

Hi Folks! In this auction, I offer, an extremely rare Revell 1/96 scale Space Station Model Kit. No. H-1805:498. This is truly the Holy Grail of Model Space Kits.I purchased the kit from a toy dealer at a trade show some 20 plus years ago. At the time that I purchased it, I was told that it was complete. I just recently found out that it's not complete. According to the instruction manual, there are well over two hundred pieces to the kit. I have found that there are a few pieces missing. I would guess that the kit is 97-98% complete. Some of the pieces remain attached to the trees and others are loose. Also, according to the box, it shows that a booklet called "Space Station Operating Manual" should be present. It is not and was not present when I originally purchased it. I would say that the parts, instruction manual, and box are in excellent condition. I have taken many photos, so you be the judge. As you can see in the photos, the box retains some of the old original cellophane tape. The kit was issued only in 1959 for a whopping $4.98. That was a great deal of money then! I do not believe that there have ever been any reproductions made. IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A GLASS DISPLAY CASE FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS AND COMES FROM A SMOKE-FREE HOME. IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. ... read more

(b) adds a definition of "persistent arrears".
Clause 2
(a) authorizes a person other than the Director to enforce a maintenance order filed with the Director when enforcement is taking place on behalf of the Director in a reciprocating jurisdiction; and
(b) authorizes a recipient, who has obtained the Director's consent, to take additional enforcement measures on the same parts of the filed maintenance order being enforced by the Director.
Clause 3 creates a new category of persons known as "investigators" who must gather information, including video surveillance, under the direction of the Director to enforce maintenance orders.
Clause 4
(a) adds the requirement that every maintenance order forwarded for filing with the Director be accompanied by current contact information for the parties; and
(b) authorizes the Director to request from, and the prothonotary or officer of the court to provide, the financial information relative to the parties to a filed maintenance order.
Clause 5 clarifies that support orders, and not maintenance orders, are made pursuant to the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, and recognizes that these support orders can be made by either a court or an administrative tribunal.
Clause 6 provides that where a recipient, without the Director's consent, is taking measures to enforce a maintenance order, the Director may decide not to enforce the order.
Clause 7 authorizes the Director to enforce a maintenance order notwithstanding that an arrangement or a revised arrangement is in place for the making of payments required by the order.

A face paced environment has overloaded students and professionals with work that can't be kept on top of by regular means, but are pills the answer to the problem? Matthew Colfer investigates...
Wonder drugs that promise to promote concentration and cognitive performance have been tempting students and workers for some time now. But the new kid on the block, Modafinil, has yet to take hold in Irish universities in the same way that it has in the UK.
Modafinil is a eugeroic drug which promotes wakefulness and is used to treat narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness which can be caused by sleep apnea.
Better known by its brand names Modavigil, Provigil and Alertec, the drug is hard to obtain from a GP in Ireland as it is only used to treat narcolepsy here. However, Modafinil is often sourced online by people who use the drug to aide them in their academic studies or in work.
Campus.ie reached out to some Irish users of the drug to see why they use the so-called smart drug.
Sean is in his early-forties and works as a newsagent, uses it to overcome the problems associated with shift-work.
"When I have insomnia after a late shift and am doing an early shift next day and get little sleep, I'll take some Modafinil when I get up next morning. It allows me to feel wide awake and perform my duties with the clarity and focus I would have after a full night's sleep, even though I might have only had two or three hours of sleep," said Sean.
"It also means I won't feel desperate for a nap that day which before Modafinil meant a two or three hour nap after work would mean the knock on effect of more insomnia that night too. Modafinil lets me break that cycle. I am not a fan of caffeine and large doses of it give me the jitters and exacerbate my mild anxiety issues."
Similarly, James, an IT professional in his mid-twenties uses Armodafinil to keep him alert at work. Armodafinil is very similar to Modafinil in how it works and its uses, but has a slightly different molecular makeup.
"The main reason I take Armodafinil is to make working less tiring and more enjoyable, but I also use it to reduce certain neurological symptoms and to ease the management of personal problems," he said.
"Not taking Armodafinil for more than a week slowly makes these problems less manageable."
According to James, "It makes me think more clearly and makes my personality stronger. It gives me the ability to look at things in a different way, but doesn't make me do anything I normally wouldn't do. It also improves my memory, all new memories I create are sharper and more intense. In other words I can get the best out of myself on Armodafinil.
"The first two or three times I took Armodafinil were quite intense, my body always strongly reacts to new medication causing the side effects to be worst at first. I take at least three tablets a week in order to enjoy its positive effects. Not taking it for a while (for example two to six weeks) doesn't make the first dose afterwards more intense for me," he added.
Both Sean and James revealed that they ordered the drugs online.
"I bought it on a website that has many positive reviews online, they sell very good quality Armodafinil and provide refunds in case of shipment issues," James said and added that a Dark Web browser such as Tor is not necessary to access the site.
Sean said he buys 40 200mg Sun Pharma Modalert for €80 on the Indian based website Modafinilcat then pays an additional €40 to ship the tablets from the UK to Ireland. On the website James purchases Armodafinil from he said he gets 200 150mg tablets for $300 (€270) because it is cheaper than buying smaller quantities more frequently. James added the tablets arrive through his letterbox in an envelope.
When it comes to taking the drug the two men vary hugely in the dosage and frequency with which they take their respective tablets.
"I usually take at least 150mg (one tablet) two or three times a week. The maximum I take is 300mg (second tablet after 5 hours) a day for [six days or a] week," said James.
"I found that 50mg (1/4 of a Tablet) was an effective dose for me for the purpose I generally use it for so those 40 tablets are effectively 160 doses for me and I only take it one or two times a week if even that, so the 40 tablets I ordered are effectively a year or two supply," Sean said.

How to Activate? just dial *888*1# and choose option 1 to activate , You will get the reply " reply 1 to activate, free for 90 days",in some cases and in some cases click on the option 4 to get missed call alerts for free for 3 months. reply with 1 and wait for 2hours and in my case it came within the next second.. Hurray you activated free MCA for 90days. (after 90days just deactivate, and reactivate it again)

2. Re: rman clone ? duplicate database ? data guard ? standby database?swapnil kambli Apr 26, 2013 6:13 AM (in response to newbieDBA)RMAN Clone : you take backup of a database on one server ,then take it to other server ,again use RMAN to restore the database,A lot manual intervention is needed in this method1 person found this helpful
RMAN DUPLICATE: same as above just that manual intervention is less. With 11gR2 there active database duplication in which you can clone your test database directly from production database without taking and then transferring the backup to test server.
Standby Database :they are of two types Physical and logical.The setup is done using RMAN with any of the above methods.Standby is the in-sync (can have some delay) version of primary database either block by block which is physical standby configuration or SQL statment wise which is logical standby.
Data Guard:This is also a standby configuration.Here the failover and switchover are automated with the help of DGMGRL utility.In manual standby this same can be done via SQL*PLUS using sql commands
