In 1994 Aubrey Organics became the first personal care company to be certified as an organic processor by Quality Assurance International of San Diego, CA. Our Tampa, Florida, manufacturing plant is regularly inspected and has been certified as a facility where organic ingredient are handled to US Dept. of Agriculture's National Organic Program standards.
We're committed to using premium natural and organic ingredients and the list of certified organic herbs and plant extracts you'll find in our products keeps growing. We believe this is the best way to tell our customers just how natural we really are.
All Aubrey Organics are 100% natural and nearly all products are vegan. The vegan logo is clearly marked on each bottle.
All Aubrey Organics products carry the "leaping bunny" logo, the internationally recognized symbol for "cruelty free" cosmetics. Established by the Coalition for Consumer Information in Cosmetics (CCIC), a group of eight national animal protection organizations, the leaping bunny represents a single, comprehensive standard. Whenever you see this logo, you can be sure neither the product, nor any of its ingredients has been tested on animals.
For the last 40 years Aubrey Organics and its CEO and founder, Aubrey Hampton, have been vocal opponents of animal testing. We have never tested on animals, and we never will.
In 1994 Aubrey Organics became the first personal care company in the world to be certified as an organic processor by Quality Assurance International of San Diego, CA. Aubrey's Tampa, Florida, manufacturing plant is regularly inspected and has been certified as a facility where organic ingredients are handled to US Dept. of Agriculture's National Organic Programme standards.
Aubrey Organics® was the first natural cosmetic manufacturer to have a complete makeup line certified by the National Products Association (NPA). In 2008, the NPA established the first and only national standard for natural personal care products. The NPA certification and official seal are awarded to personal care products that meet their strict definition of natural, and are designed to help consumers identify truly natural products and make an informed decision.
Founded in 1936, the NPA is the largest non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to the natural products industry.
In 2004 Aubrey Organics became the first U.S. company to bear the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetics seal. BDIH stands for Germany's prestigious Federation of German Industries and Trading Firms for Medicines, Natural Products, Food Supplements and Body Care (Bundesverband Deutscher Industrie und Handelsunternehmen fur Arzneimittel, Reformwaren, Nahrungserganzungsmittel und Korperpflege, or BDIH in German).
Based in Mannheim, Germany, the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal was created in 1996 to establish strict guidelines for the manufacture of natural cosmetics. Only companies using the finest, plant-based ingredients and ecologically responsible manufacturing practices can be BDIH certified. Aubrey Organics is proud to display the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal in its European labels.
You may already be aware that certain ingredients commonly found in sunscreens are causing irreparable damage to coral reefs worldwide. Four to six thousand tons of sunscreen wash off swimmers each year, and studies have shown synthetic chemicals carried by the waves are destroying algae and other marine life within the reefs.
One casualty of this chemical onslaught is zooxanthellae, algae that give coral its vibrant color and provide reefs with essential nutrients. Without these algae hosts, the reefs lose their color, are bleached white, and quickly die.
Aubrey deemed reef safe by National Geographic
In a subsequent article in their June/July 2008 issue, National Geographic singled out Aubrey's Natural Sun sunscreens as reef safe products that deliver sun protection without causing harm to marine life:
"Sunscreen may spare your skin, but when it inevitably rinses off in the waves, it's an eco-nightmare. Up to 6,000 tons of the goop end up in oceans every year… and the chemicals are bleaching the reefs at an alarming rate. Two Mexican marine parks have banned traditional sunscreens, and more are sure to follow suit. Aubrey Organics Natural Sun is a bit pricey [compared to drug store brands] (and smells like a White Russian), but delivers where it counts: It protects your skin from rays as well as other screens—and saves reefs from a total wipeout."
As early as 1976, the European Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery
Association saw the need to develop industry standards for the testing
and labeling of sun care products. Their objective has been to simplify
the labeling system, improve testing methods, and provide clear
information to the consumer.
Although SPF is mainly an indicator of protection against UVB rays, the European commission determined that protection from UVA rays, which can cause wrinkling, hyperpigmentation (sun spots) and other signs of premature aging, should be factored in when evaluating a sunscreen's ability to adequately protect the skin.
To ensure safety and efficacy, the commission has established the ratio of UVA protection in a sunscreen should be at least 1/3 of the UVB sun protection factor. Sunscreens that display the symbol pictured above meet or exceed these standards.

Clubhouse Insider Boston Red Sox News
One that got away: Josh Beckett wild pitch sends Red Sox to 5-3 loss
ARLINGTON, Texas -- With runners on the corners and two out in the seventh inning of a tie game Wednesday night, and with Josh Beckett's pitch count having reached 108, Bobby Valentine visited the mound, a decision hanging in the balance.
Stick with Beckett or turn to the bullpen?
Evidently, Beckett made a convincing argument, even if he barely made eye contact with Valentine. The right-hander stayed in the game, then uncorked a wild pitch two pitches later, allowing Elvis Andrus to speed home with the go-ahead run for the Rangers. And even though Beckett didn't pitch poorly, at least in comparison to his recent starts, the result was depressingly familiar. The Red Sox lost, 5-3, in the rubber match of a three-game series, and once again dipped beneath the .500 mark at 49-50.
"Damn shame," said Valentine, perhaps also speaking for Beckett, who again didn't make himself available to explain his performance.
Really, though, the only explanation necessary for the Red Sox' sub-.500 record through 99 games is this: They are 13-24 in games started by Beckett and Jon Lester, the biggest co-conspirators in a season that continues to go nowhere. And if that statistic doesn't improve, it hardly will matter whether general manager Ben Cherington makes any additions before Tuesday's trade deadline.
Beckett has won only one decision since a 3-2 victory May 20 in Philadelphia. Since then, he's 1-5 with a 4.73 ERA in nine starts sandwiched around an 18-day stint on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder.
This time, the Red Sox staked him to a 2-0 lead. But Beckett gave up three runs in the fourth inning on five hits, including a pair of two-out singles by Ian Kinsler and Andrus.
Otherwise, the Rangers didn't score again until the seventh, and the run was self-inflicted. With one out, Beckett hit Andrus, and after striking out Josh Hamilton, he gave up a single to Adrian Beltre. The wild pitch, a 1-0 changeup, veered away from catcher Kelly Shoppach and skipped to the backstop. Andrus scored easily to open a 4-3 lead.
Valentine said he had no doubt Beckett had enough left to stay in the game, even on another steamy Texas night.
"Last night, Clay (Buchholz) was really sweating," Valentine said. "Josh was barely even winded."
Said Dustin Pedroia, whose solo homer tied the game in the sixth: "It's tough. It looked like the ball kind of cut, and at the last second, it got by (Shoppach). Any loss is frustrating."

This Saturday's event 'Guide to Promoting Your Blog' A presentation by Sarah Fenwick from Cyprus Newsreport followed by an Indonesian meal was yet another occasion that had me marveling at the incredible energy that is created when 15 open-minded, innovative people that have mostly never met before are put into one room - magic!
And since last weekend featured no event, I had time to prepare for the BIG party - a party that really started off on a whim. I still remember… it was past 11 p.m. when I was reading in Jack Canfield's 'The Success Principles' about this 'Come as the future you party'. Only about three sentences into the chapter I had decided 'This is it! I want to organize a party like this!'
I had been 'doing my homework', reading inspirational and self-help books, setting goals, visualizing, planning ahead, thinking about where I want to be in 5 years… as instructed by my good friend and High Performance Coach Arthur Magoulianiti. He watched me soar on my high of enthusiasm for a bit, but when I told him that we really needed his guidance for this, he immediately agreed: 'Sounds great. I guess I can't say no.' And so the 'Come as who you'll be in 2020 Party' to take place on May 17th at Hotel Londa was born.
This weekend featured yet another combination for an enjoyable evening - good food and live music. The pairing of jazz music with party snacks seemed especially tempting and was greatly enjoyed by the guests of the music bar 'The Roadhouse Bar' which is under new management and proved to be definitely worth a visit. They offer almost daily live performances and turned out to be a great venue for my first experience combining live music and food.
Saturday's event had been a long time in the planning - much longer than most other events. In fact, I'd had that special date of March 15th guests, the speakers, the logistics… It was new in many ways especially as I'd never had to plan my own book launch, think about where to put that many people, where to place my books.
It was thrilling to see a table with piles of my very own, newly printed cook book 'On Healthy Cooking - Quinoa, Chard & Co made easy' set up in the bright and airy entrance of 6x6 Centre for Photography. Working on the setup with the owners of the venue - Maria and Vassos Styliano - was easy and fun.
And since International Women's Day fell on a Saturday… we just had to celebrate it with a dinner. I had been planning for a while to host an event together with 'Mums in Cyprus' - a really impressive and well networked Facebook group with a great website (www.mumsincyprus.com) - and we decided this would be the perfect occasion. And it was!
This weekend was 'event free' with no dinner club and I dedicated it to organizing and promoting my book launch. Something I still have to keep saying out loud in order to believe it - I shall be launching my own book 'On Healthy Cooking - Quinoa, Chard & Co Made Easy' on March 15th.
It has been an exciting journey with many unexpected turns and lots of help from wonderful friends along the way. I have just seen the actual printed pages and the cover and looking at my pictures printed full-page on glossy paper had me speechless - how different from seeing them on your computer screen! The pages are currently being bound and by Thursday I will be able to pick up books at the printers with my pictures, my recipes and my name on them - something I can not quite imagine yet!
The past weekend saw two very different events. On Saturday we literally rolled on the floor laughing at a laughter yoga workshop followed by an Indian meal while on Sunday we were totally mesmerized by a talk with/by photographer Achilleas Zavallis on his work in war time Syria.
On Saturday we arrived at the JOY Project Center www.joyproject.com.cy in Nicosia at 4:00 where owner and laughter yoga instructor Elina Papa was awaiting us in her lovely, spacious center.
This weekend was all about partying - party food and party music with the fantastic vocalist and Tina Turner Tribute Act Kaele Santosh. We had met 'Tina' before at an evening at Mary's where guests had turned my balcony into a dance floor. Already back then we knew we want to see her again - we'd had so much fun being 'on stage' with her as back ground singers, dancers…
As we don't have exactly balcony weather, I had arranged with the bar/café Sto Dromo to use their lovely venue. One guest had even offered to bring a smoke machine and a laser light… we moved some of the café's tables outside and the disco setup was perfect!
I was in such a great mood at the prospect of getting to enjoy this fantastic show again, I got a bit carried away with my party food - I made 3 kinds of pizza, with red onions, mushrooms, olives, lounza, broccoli…plus my personal favorite Lebanese thyme pizza, chicken and vegetarian quesadillas, grain buns, pita chips and dips… a real feast. I had lots of fun taking photos of it all in the making and 'playing' with all the toppings.

…living inside all of us. Me, you. Yep, even that guy. He's got a little Klimt screaming inside and today, I let mine out.
I wish I could show you guys the real picture. The guy's hair is gold (!) plated. Okay, okay, it's 'brass' (hah, every time I say 'gold', W says 'brass')… but anyway, I was at W's finishing this pic and he had a pot of brass paint and I thought why the hell not? The picture needed something. I'm starting to get better at figuring out when a pic is done or not so I made the guy's hair gold and voila dangereux fromage, it was so pretty, I could've wept like a little infant.
I think this is honestly one of the first times when I thought… I made something. Not just f'art… but something that maybe… could be… the embryonic, diaphanous breath… of an art-ish like thing! Maybe.

At ropes end! Please someone help me figure out how to get financing for my rental business!
by metterrental, Performer
- Created: August 9, 2010, 7:41 am
Hi, I'm a 52 year old male who has been in the rental business for some 20 years and has fallen upon hard times of late. Went to the small business development center a while back and they told me my business is not considered a business but a speculative business and no funds could be obtained there for improvements to my business or to help me get my finances in order. I thought ALL businesses are speculative businesses as when people open their doors they're speculating that someone will come in and buy something from them??
Anyhow, to get the whole matter on the table, I was renting to what turned out to be mostly illegal Hispanic workers who were working at area poultry plants and in 2006 our park got raided and they can no longer work at the poultry plant and almost the entire rental units that I own became vacant. Through a good bit of borrowing and hard work I have managed to get about 32-36 of the 52 units I own back up and rented to mostly whites and blacks but most of the other units aren't good enough for the whites and blacks and I need money (hopefully some sort of grant) to get more up to date housing for these people. I really don't want to go into how hard it is to get money out of the whites and blacks and how hard it is to get them evicted when they won't pay but will if asked for those details.
Anyhow, there are factories in the area and I've found that I can rent 3 BR 2BA homes all day long to people and probably can get a better quality of people but I really need to totally revamp my main park that has 24 trailers as of current and get at least 15 of the homes replaced. I'm hoping to buy these homes from repo centers for $5-7000 each and with moving expenses I expect to have to about $10,000 in each home. I currently am in debt to one bank for $210,000 and barely making those payments and one other bank I owe $120,000 and making those payments on time. I have several tracts of land that these trailers are on but they are all secured. 4 of the tracts are at an Interstate 16 Interchange. I know my land is worth MUCH more than the bank is using for collateral as I have 24 mobile homes, 3 deep wells and 12 septic tanks on one tract at the Interstate that is on 10.9 acres of land surrounded by highways on three sides. They also have another 5.36 acres of land that has frontage on a corner near Interstate 16 that has about 600' of frontage on two state highways, plus they have my house on 21 acres of land with a deep well, 6 mobile homes, and seven septic tanks, and 10.9 acres of land with about 800' of state highway frontage with two ponds, two mobile homes, a deep well, and two septic tanks AND, a small house on one acre with deep well and septic tank AND 4.19 acres of land near the I-16 interchange with 2 mobile homes, a deep well, and 2 septic tanks. I KNOW that all that together is worth MUCH more than what I owe but the bank won't loan me anymore money for renovations.
I'm also behind in my tax bills to the tune of $15K with this years tax fast approaching. Where did all the money go you ask? Spent most of the money on labor to help me try to fix up all the rentals we have and for supplies, but apparently my park got a stigma with the Mexican rentals and people just don't want to live where Mexican's have lived. To be honest even though we've redone a whole lot of the floors and windows and doors and painted inside and out, the homes do still need a lot of work. I could probably go on and on about all of this but I need advice on what to do. I've even considered trying to sell the units to the tenants but have not gotten anywhere with that. I can't afford anymore to have anyone to help me and I'm about ready to just let the bank have it all if I can't come up with something. Anybody got any place to contact for help, financial as well as guidance in this matter? you can e-mail me direct at email@example.com. Thanks, David

Don't do it.
2B is a position where many of the top players would only be pretty good if they played at other positions. Look at Kubel's numbers - if a 2B hit like Kubel did last year, he'd be a top three 2B. But Kubel's not a 2B, so you might ask why does this matter? Here's why:
You have Rickie Weeks listed at util. This means that even if you acquire Phillips you'll still presumably be starting at least two if not three 2Bs (Weeks and Lopez at util). After the first one, it doesn't even matter what position they play anymore, and ignoring position, Phillips' value goes down - he and Kubel will probably have equal offensive production. You're tempted to do this trade because you want your infield to look better, but if you do it your util gets significantly worse, you're wasting it on 2Bs.
So this becomes a trade of Carpenter for Greinke. I think you can answer your own question when you look at it this way.
Scuba Steve Man Time Scuba Steve Man Time Mar 30, 2010 8:33 PM Flag
I do that deal in a heartbeat. Carp is a good starter and Phillips is a top 5 second baseman. While Grienke is very good, Kubel can easily be replaced. Furthermore, you need more starters. You have 4 and one is injured(Dice K)

With one of its main rivals, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, having the so-called S-Class Pullman, which is based on the new generation of the flagship sedan, the guys at BMW couldn't stay away from this "battle" and it seems that the next generation of the 7-Series should give birth to a long wheelbase version. The announcement hasn't been made official just yet but it's coming under the shape of a report, published by the guys at Bimmer Today.
The new generation of the BMW 7-Series, in its long wheelbase form, is believed to share some underpinnings with Rolls-Royce, but this also means that its price will be significantly higher. As far as the engine lineup goes, we expect six-cylinder and eight-cylinder units to make their way onto the new model. Don't act too surprised if you will see a V12 either, because this may be the new top of the line version. Sadly we have no more details on the new BMW 7-Series LWB but this may be announced sometimes next year, when the new generation of the 7-Series is believed to make its way onto the market.

KNOXVILLE (WATE/AP) - A hearing to dismiss the libel lawsuit against state Sen. Stacey Campfield has been set.
In 2008, Roger Byrge announced that he was suing Campfield for $750,000.
Byrge claims in the weeks before the 2008 general election, Campfield falsely wrote on his blog that Byrge had been arrested several times on drug charges.
Byrge lost the race for the state house seat to Republican Chad Faulkner by less than 400 votes.
Campfield in a 2011 deposition filed in court last week was unapologetic
for posting false information about Byrge, dismissive of the
possibility of paying damages and belittling of the technological skills
of fellow lawmakers.
He called the suit "laughable."
The motion hearing to dismiss the case is scheduled for April 24.
If it fails, the case goes to trial in June.

Now that the San Joaquin County Planning Commission has eliminated its moratorium on winery expansion and marketing events, two Lodi-area wineries have applied to expand their grounds and increase the number of parties, wedding receptions and fundraisers.
The Planning Commission will consider use permits for the following projects:
St. Jorge Winery in Acampo wants to build a 5,652-square-foot wine garden with a stage, dining and seating area on Bender Road, north of Taddei Road.
St. Jorge applicants Vernon and Jenise Vierra also hope to construct a 300-square-foot commercial kitchen, storage building, wine storage building and a covered patio to increase the number of attendees from 25 people to 150.
Watt's Winery, located on North Locust Tree Road, is applying to expand the production capacity of a small winery into a large winery and apply for 30 marketing events per year. Currently, 70 events are proposed for the winery. Plans also call for expanding its production capacity from 36,000 gallons of wine per year to 200,000, and the construction of six 3,000-gallon tanks and a 2,500-square-foot wine-tasting room.
County officials have spent much of 2011 and 2012 weighing conflicting issues — allowing wineries to better market their product by hosting parties and other events while accommodating neighbors who object to the loud music and heavy traffic.
The county has 58 wineries; 27 of them are permitted a certain number of marketing events each year. Critics said the properties are disguised as wineries while having parties and loud entertainment.
Property owners in the Davis-Turner road area west of Lodi fought a proposal by Kapiniaris Vineyards to construct a winery nearby for almost a year. The Planning Commission approved the proposal on Nov. 17, but neighbors David Lucas, Fred Donald and Craig Miller filed an appeal with the Board of Supervisors.
In February, the Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to allow Kapiniaris to construct the winery. Kapiniaris will be allowed to conduct up to 30 marketing events per year with a capacity of 150 people, much to the consternation of neighboring property owners, most of them on Davis Road.
Fred Donald, who opposed the Kapiniaris project earlier this year, said that many neighbors of the St. Jorge Winery will be at Thursday's meeting to oppose that winery's application. Donald said he is not among the opponents because he lives five to seven miles away from St. Jorge.
At Thursday's meeting, planning commissioners will also hear a report from the recently formed Winery Ordinance Task Force, which is developing a proposal to govern winery expansion and entertainment on agricultural property.
The task force, established in June, consists of representatives of the Lodi Chamber of Commerce, Lodi District Grape Growers Association, San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation and Visit Lodi!

People who decide that they want any type of dog should first consider if they are willing to take their dog to obedience school as soon as they are about 8-12 weeks old. This takes a determination to see it through. Practicing every day with the dog, consistently. Using calm, stern commands. Using treats and the same commands every time. Actually obedience classes are fun and good for both owner and dog. I have large dogs, two Rottis, a Lab, and a mixed breed. One rotti, as well as well as the lab, will kill cats given the opportunity. I can only believe they think they are prey. The other two don't give cats a second look. One of the most important commands to teach a dog is "SIT". And, you can do that if you work with the dog enough. You should never allow your dog to go in front of you, starting from the first day you get him. I am so sorry this gentleman lost his friend, especially the way he did. I'm also sorry for the pit bull because he's a dog. The man should be held accountable, not the dog. But I'm sure the owner of the pitbull is having flashbacks, and "If I'd Only...... thoughts. Leroy Jenkins makes the most sense. You have to be responsible for your pets, just like your children, or the fact that you are responsible for the bullet you shoot from your gun. I hope Mr. Campbell will get another dog. Not to replace his friend but to have another friend who will love him unconditionally. Isn't that what all of us want?
Obviously none of the people writing in about this have had a teenager. Children know how to push your buttons, plus that's one of their wild cards, I'll accuse you of abuse. Maybe he was trying to be a good parent. Children will scream at and even hit their parents now if they don't get their way. Then they scream abuse. I'd walk in his shoes before I would condem the man.
All I have to say to ANNA is if you think Obama is protecting us and cares about anyone but himself, you need to have someone appointed to help you protect yourself. Obama has trouble looking into the camera and talking. He reads everything he says.
It would be interesting to know if BORNHERE was being threatened by someone with a weapon, gun, knife, hammer, hatchet? Would he call the police and stress, "don't hurt them", or would he say HELP send the Police with guns. Get Real. Policemen put their life on the line every day for all of us, they are sitting ducks for any person out there who has a grudge. Keep up the good work Sheriff's Department.
If it's true 900 people have been killed with guns since the children in New York were murdered, how many men, women and children have been killed, maimed or lost loved ones due to drunk drivers since that time. I'll bet more people are killed by drunk driver (alcohol or drugs) than guns. What happened to the man who was drunk back in the summer who was totally wiped out and KILLED the gentleman working for Direct TV? Or the Man who took drugs and drove down Clemson Highway and killed an unsuspecting person driving up the other side of the highway?
Jake, if you haven't tried The Lazy Islander (on the square) in Pendleton wings, the orignal double dipped ones, you should prepare your lips and go. They are the best. My husband doesn't like wings, but he does those. Go NOW!
What was a 70 year old woman doing pushing a shopping cart on a dark road that's really in the country. I'm pretty sure street lights are not out that far on Murray Avenue. How far is that? It was 7:00 on a November evening in the winter. Where was her family then? Who would let a 70 year old even walk to BI Lo and Quality Food much less push a shopping cart. Where was the real responsibility? This is why people have such a low opinion of lawyers. I'm not defending Mr. Moore, I don't even know him, but this is why insurance is so high. I can understand an insurance company making a moral settlement, but she shouldn't have been in the road, how many people would have been able to even see her? Five Million dollars? that's obscene. Her family should feel responsible not be collecting money for her death. They should be ashamed.
What a bunch of nit picking chickens. Why don't you all get together and start your own paper. Then everything will be perfect. Get a LIFE! Congratulations Mr. Taylor.
I voted, but it must be that a lot of people did just vote straight ticket. That all of the same people are still in office indicates that a lot of people don't look at the big picture. And for Gracie Floyd to say she was astounded that all of the people were voted back in when there were some good people available blows my mind. A bunch of us can't figure out why she continues to be there. She is racist and her posturing at the CC meetings border on incredible arrogance. We all wish she would leave!
I agree with just about everyone about Gracie Floyd and the NAACP. Both are as racist as they get. Everytime I hear someone say "racist" I just roll my eyes. If more people worried about their children going to school and learning we wouldn't have to worry about a lot of what people call "racist" or "profiling" which includes whites and blacks. I hope everyone on the county council can be voted off this year. Our county council needs a major "do over"! We need common sense and not drama.
Don't everyone jump on this woman and burn her at the stake. Obviously she must have been a good nurse and doing the right things to keep her job for that length of time. Was she a good nurse? I know some Doctors in this town who have licenses but aren't very good doctors, even have a reputation for being in it for the money. These doctors patients hate to go to them because they are always so patronizing and get mad if questioned about anything. I hope her friends don't throw her under the bus. It's real easy to throw rocks at people when they are down.
Who is this THEY Brad is referring to. Most of the Baby Boomers including myself went to work right out of school. Those lucky enough to be able to go to college did, graduated and went to work. We didn't have parents to buy new cars, we drove what we could afford. Maybe some of the younger generation should look around their own back door or is it their parent's back door where the younger generation is living. Brad, come back in 20 years and tell me how you're doing saving money, paying your own bills and sending your children to college. I haven't heard anyone but the Democrats talk about taking care of everybody on somebody else's dime!
Police cars sitting in the neighborhoods would be a good thing. Policemen should be allowed to drive their vehicles home. We need to pay our policemen a decent salary. As far as Captain Brown is concerned possibly he and his policemen would benefit from Captain Brown taking management classes. Just because you are identified as a manager doesn't make you a manager much less a good manager. I've worked for people who "managed by walking around". You wanted to do a good job for them. Mainly because they worked right beside of you. A good manager will not ask his employees to do anything he can't or doesn't know how to do himself. Is there anything worse than a "headcounter with an attitude"? It sounds like a personnel expert who is given the authority to make and/or require changes would be a good idea. If Captain Brown's mind and attitude is in the right place, he should welcome help in creating a top notch police department. You need people working together and the first step in the direction is that the employees know that their boss has their back and will support them. If the boss supports his people, you can bet his people will support him. I'm not talking about "good old boys either"! Respect for each other should never leave a workplace.
You have to show your driver's license to buy items with checks. I don't consider that discrimination, what is the difference. Most doctor's that I go to require you to give them a picture ID and they make a copy of it. It makes you think that people who don't want picture ID's required might not be on the "up and up". I would think people would want everyone to have a picture ID.
Their chicken strips are really good. His ugly onion rings are addictive. Really nice people there. I love it!
I believe that the Corp of Engineers is required to let enough water go in order to keep the Savannah Harbor full. This allows the freighter ships that come and go in the Harbor. That would explain why the lake is down. I'm not sure but I believe that was part of the agreement when the Lake was built. Maybe someone else can add to this.
I'm sorry but aren't these people murderers, did these killers care about how long it took their victims to die, or whether the victim was suffering or not? I don't think so. I'm sorry but these types of reporters are nothing more than human buzzards. Frankly I think the punishment should fit the crime.

Palladium's dimension-spanning Rifts RPG managed to spit out about 50 source books based on locations both real and imagined. In 1999 Rifts creator Kevin Siembieda turned his attention north and payed homage to Canada with Rifts Worldbook 20: Canada. In keeping with Rifts tradition, the book was one of the strangest ever written about its subject matter. Prepare to never play RPGs in Canada the same way again.
Zack: I can't ignore the symptoms any longer, Steve. I think I'm dying.
Steve: What? Dude what's wrong?
Zack: I'm DYING to cover MORE RIFTS!!!!!
Steve: Oh, whew, you had me going I thought you were actually dying.
Zack: No, I am literally dying from Rifts. This fucking game...Steve: Take it easy, dude, it's just Canada. It will be a nice, relaxing book. Nothing to get worked up about.
Zack: It didn't really make the news, but Rifts killed Dennis Hopper.
Zack: Worldbook 12: Psyscape. He died creating a Bubblemakers character for Peter Fonda's new high-level campaign. Slumped in his bed and the mechanical pencil slipped from his fingers.
Steve: I almost died making a Mage character but it was because I was driving a car at the time.
Zack: If you had died they could have named the legislative response after you.Steve: That works. I've always wanted my own law but I never wanted to be sex assaulted.
Zack: Character creation while driving a motor vehicle is strictly limited to point buy only and you must dictate your point allocation to a passenger to fill in on the character sheet.
Steve: You can roll up a character in a car, but you have to treat it like if you see a tornado and pull off under a highway.

With the Senate Intelligence Committee's vote to declassify part of the 6000+ word report on the Bush torture regime, the media is once again reporting on the issue — and once again almost entirely refusing to call it torture. All they want to use are euphemisms:

The Torture Debate in the GOP
Andrew Sullivan makes a really interesting point about Rand Paul running for president, which is that if he does make a run — and he's obviously going to — it will force the issue of torture out into the open. His opponents will undoubtedly raise the issue to attack him.

Michael Hayden, who was the director of the CIA during part of the Bush administration, went on Fox News and put his sexism on display, saying that a single line from a statement made by Sen.

Senator Wants to Waterboard Cheney

Senate Panel Votes to Release Torture Report
The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 11-3 to declassify and release the executive summary of the infamous torture report they've been sitting on for a long time. It's been sent to the White House for declassification review, so some of it will be redacted, but it's still a big step in the right direction.

Rth 2003- Vinyl LP Record
The title notwithstanding, this debut from the former Faithless singer is pretty angelic-sounding stuff. You're bound to think of Sinead O'Connor, but the comparison is as misleading as it is inevitable. Granted, Dido's ethereal vocals here frequently recall O'Connor; but Dido's music < while inventively augmented with electronics < is generally less adventurous. Ditto No Angel's lyrics, which focus almost exclusively on love, lust, and relationships. That said, the fact remains that this is an auspicious and highly listenable album; atmospheric, seductive, and beautifully produced and sequenced. < Jeff Burger The Classic LP was cut on the Grundman all analog tube cutting system and will be pressed on 200g QUIEX SV-P for maximum playback fidelity - you can hear the difference!

Chapter One
In my view, most ethicists do not take evolutionary biology seriously enough and most evolutionary biologists do not take ethics seriously enough. To explain why I think this is true, I first need to explain a little about evolution.
We are biological organisms. We are products of evolution by variation and natural selection. Natural selection works by eliminating organisms that are less fit than their competitors. One organism is less fit than another if it is less likely to survive or if it is liable to have fewer offspring. (Fitness is always relative to an environment and, of course, environments are always changing.)
Anything that helps another at a cost to the helper is altruistic. Biological altruism is helping another when that would make the helper less likely to survive or reduce the number of his potential offspring.
Now, it is necessary to adjust things a bit. It is not really the number of offspring that matters but the number of copies of the organism's genes that get into the next generation in a particular round of the evolutionary competition. If I can either raise one child of my own or help my sister raise three, doing the latter gets more of my genes into the next generation. If I have one child, 50% of my genes get into the next generation (because my partner contributes 50%). If I help my sister to raise three, 75% do. (I share half my genes with my sister and she contributes half, so, on average, each of her children will share 25% of their genes with me.) That's kin selection.
Second, if two of us co-operate, we two may each do better than any of the rugged individualists in the competition. The result is called reciprocal altruism. My partner in co-operation may do better than I do, but I am still a relative winner – coming in second is a lot better than coming in anywhere near dead last.
Now, if I help somebody who isn't related to me instead of having my own offspring or helping my sister, I lose any chance to get my genes into the next generation but make someone else a winner. If my genes don't make it, organisms like me will vanish in short order. And, if I go around helping rugged individualists, they gain, I lose, and, once again, organisms like me will vanish in short order. The long and the short of it is that evolution promotes altruism in some, limited, circumstances, and penalizes it heavily outside those circumstances.
I haven't mentioned group selection. It is controversial, many thinking that it cannot occur. However, the general principles apply to groups. If members of a group help other members, the group can thrive but if they help non-members as well as members, the group will quickly disappear.
There appears to be no genetic future in being an evolutionary doormat. Consequently, no matter whether we are talking about families, groups of reciprocators, or any other groups, we ought to observe the members be good to insiders and indifferent to or exploitative of outsiders. That the biological way of the world.
The trouble is that we observe that some people help unrelated outsiders with whom they will never develop a reciprocal relationship, a much larger number approves of the helpers, and the view seems to be that the helpers are especially virtuous. For example, there were people who tried to rescue Jews from Nazis, lots of people praise the rescuers, and people seem to be of the opinion that rescuers were the best of the best. Less dramatically, there are people who sincerely devote themselves to helping the destitute and the desperate in foreign countries. Please note that I am not saying that we ought to do these things (or that we ought not) but people actually do them. I am not making a value judgment but a factual observation.
Now, on the one hand, I say that ethicists do not take evolutionary biology seriously enough because they are quite willing to develop theories that say that we ought to help outsiders without showing how the helpers are biologically possible. I don't think that they can ignore the problem. If we are biologically bound to be partial and if we are not required to do the impossible, we are not required to help outsiders. It follows that any moral theory that says otherwise is false. Ethicists may say that we can afford to wait for the solution. But it is not at all clear that any theory at all will be able to solve the problem and the question then is why we should take seriously the ones that ignore the problem.
On the other hand, I say that biologists do not take ethics seriously enough because they tend to say that helping unrelated outsiders with whom we will never develop a reciprocal relationship is just a mistake and they do not explain adequately why we are so prone to making the mistake. In other words, they fail to respond adequately to evidence that indicates that their position is false.
Ethicists tend to underestimate the importance of biology and biologists tend to underestimate the significance of ethics.
What I have done is come up with an evolutionary by-product theory of morality. This means that individual selection (or kin selection, group selection, or reciprocal altruism) has produced an adaptation for reasons that have nothing to do with morality, that morality is a side effect of the development of the adaptation, and that it is impossible to have the adaptation without the side-effect. This approach enables us to take our biological nature seriously enough without pretending that morality is something less than it actually is. In fact, I don't think that any other approach will work. Of course, the fact that no other approach will work does not mean that my attempt at the approach succeeds. But I think it is the right sort of thing to try.

uyvy conversion question – slab vs CPU
Jul 19, 2012 at 9:15pm
uyvy conversion question – slab vs CPU
Hi All,
I have a patch which functionally does what I want, but I can't figure out how to fix one aspect which affects CPU usage.
The patch reads a qt movie in uyvy mode, then does the conversion to RGBA on a slab. Problem is that I have a shared context where I want to take the same movie and display it as a thumbnail within a larger pwindow.
I have it working, but I can't figure out how to do the thumbnail as a portion of the larger pwindow AND do the uyvy to RGBA conversion on the slab. Something about how I'm patching it up only works if I do the conversion using jit.uyvy2argb which hogs way more CPU than I want to use.
The patch will make it all self-explanatory I think:

Any ideas would be awesome, thanks!
Jul 26, 2012 at 1:11am
I guess I'll have to try another approach – doesn't seem to be any interest on the forum with this question – lol
Thanks anyway :-)
Jul 26, 2012 at 9:27am
how about this? (btw, do you really need 200fps with qmetro 5?)
– Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

Jul 26, 2012 at 9:37am
btw #2, you're better off using a jit.window instead of a jit.pwindow for your preview as well. pwindows are very inefficient. i've got the qmetro set at 60hz. with jit.pwindow i get 30fps, with jit.window 60fps.
Jul 26, 2012 at 3:28pm
Hi dtr,
Thanks for the patch and info – I'm in a session now, but I'll def. check it out =)
As far as jit.pwindow vs. jit.window, I will need to be able to track mouseover and mouse click etc. – i.e. there is a lot of user interaction with the pwindow. I forget, can I do the same with jit.window, including tracking mouse coords within the window?
Thanks again!
Jul 26, 2012 at 4:37pm
I'm sure there's an equivalent in GL land that will work on jit.window, just don't know which, haven't used such a thing.
Jul 27, 2012 at 1:42am
Hi dtr,
I checked out your posted patch. The problem is that with 2 videoplanes on different layers in the preview window, I lose one of the important aspects of my original patch.
When I write to the sub texture in my patch, every time I move the thumbnail, it updates the portion of the texture that it is sitting over. So the texture ends up with the thumbnails getting updated as I move them around. Your patch using 2 video planes, doesn't update the portion of the texture, so when I move the thumbnail, the underlying video stays as it was. i.e. the top "layer" doesn't affect the bottom layer.
I need to have the thumbnail updating the actual texture using the subtex messages.
This is what was confusing. I can get that to happen, but only if I do the uyvy conversion prior to sending to the GPU. If I do the conversion on the GPU, I can't get the subtext message to work to create a thumbnail.
Thanks for the idea though. Hopefully there is a way to do what I am trying to do
Jul 27, 2012 at 10:42am
Ah ok, I overlooked that. It relates to this, right? http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=23446
How about not doing uyvy conversion at all, just reading in the movie in rgba? I bet working out how to do it with a window instead of a pwindow will gain you much more than sending uyvy to the GPU.
Jul 27, 2012 at 11:13pm
Hey dtr,
I'll check out the possibility of doing the window instead of pwindow, but there's a lot more going on in my main patch, so I'm trying to keep as much on the GPU as possible, and saw a big boost in performance when I went from RGBA to uyvy and converting on a slab.
I'd really like to try to keep the patch the same, but get the subtexture working here.
Jul 27, 2012 at 11:23pm
why don't you just use something like a scaled down jit.gl.videoplane to display your thumbnail?
Jul 28, 2012 at 11:31am
That's what I patched for him but that doesn't do the feedback/compositing part.
Jul 28, 2012 at 2:54pm
Exactly . The idea is not just to get a thumbnail video to sit in position over the other layer of video, but to have it replacing the "underlying video as it runs, wherever the thumbnail sits.
The original patch I had posted works functionally as I need it to, but I'm looking for a solution that also does the uyvy conversion on the GPU.
dtr, I did get the mouseover functionality to work just fine using jit.window instead of jit.pwindow – That was actually pretty easy as it uses the idlemouse attribute much the same as the pwindow. Thanks!
Still searching for the solution to the original problem. =)
Jul 28, 2012 at 8:23pm
ok, i see what you mean.
you can make this work by using jit.gl.node to capture the two layers (static backgroud and dynamic thumbnail)
for the feedback, you also send the gl.node captured texture back to the background videoplane layer.
also, you should use jit.window/jit.pwindow @shared 1, rather than the deprecated gl.render @shared_context.

Hi Robert,
Thanks as always for the help. I think this will work very well!
I did notice that on my setup, the patch you posted has a flicker that happens every few seconds on the thumbnail.
Does it do that on your setup as well? Is there a way around it?

I've been comparing page view data for a while on individual posts between telligent analytics and SiteCatalyst which is also instrumented on the page.
I'm curious as to how these numbers are collected because there is a vast difference between the two numbers.
It hard to say where/why there are differences without knowing how SiteCatalyst does their web analytics. Telligent Analytics client side script to callback and log each request. There is then a process that scrubs out bot requests but other than than all other browser requests are counted for the most part.
At one time we had Google analytics, WebTrends and Telligent Analytics running at the same time - WT and GA were relatively close, but TA was several hundred thousand page views different (higher)... We never figured out why...
We're having the same issue with the Telligent analytics. If i drill down I see a much different number at times, or it only shows 2 of 6 of the posts that were done during the requested time frame. I'm hoping to find out why these numbers are so high compared to other analytics and why all the posts aren't listed with their views.

Found October 03, 2011 on NBC Dallas- Fort Worth:
In a turn of events that could serve as a microcosm of the Dallas Cowboys' 2011 season thus far, safety Gerald Sensabaugh ended the Detroit Lions' first drive with an interception on Sunday, a turnover that would lead to the Cowboys' first touchdown from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant; then, with the Cowboys well in control of the game at 27-3 early in the second half, Sensabaugh suffered a concussion, from which he wouldn't return. That is, he got to watch the team collapse from the sidelines. In good news, Sensabaugh doesn't believe the injury is all that serious, even going so far as to say he might have returned Sunday, were it not for the NFL's strict stance with respect to head injuries of late. "I'll be all right," Sensabaugh said, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I was all right. When I came back to the sideline, I felt like I could go back and play." Without Sensabaugh, the Cowboys' defense allowed their only two touchdowns of the day, both second h...
