The other day, in Blackrock Depths, I was the piss-boy. (Er, piss-girl.)
I was on Neve, getting a lunchtime run in. Nothing unusual about that, since I've been trying to get both her and Tomakan to Outland before Cat dropped. The destination of this run was Blackrock Depths, and I was pretty sure I'd progressed beyond a simple prison run. A quick scan of the levels of my compatriots told me that Neve at L53 was the lowest of the bunch, so I was prepared for a longer run than normal.
The Warrior tank started the first pull, then quickly progressed to a second in the initial cavern area. Finishing up that pull, he started in on a third.
"Wait!" cried the Druid healer.
The tank kept on going until the pull ended. "What?" he demanded.
"I was out of mana!"
"Well, you didn't say anything."
"I am now!"
"Well, drink, you dumb ass!"
"I don't have anything to drink." He paused, then shouted, "MAGE!!!"
Oh, for the love of... I was tempted to tell him to do something explicit, which would have carried a bit more weight being the only female toon in the crew.
The healer ran over and immediately opened a trade window, then selected the 'Trade' button. At that point I hadn't even conjured anything yet, but I gritted my teeth and did it, hoping that would shut these two jerks up.
Silly me.
"Does anyone have the key?" the tank asked.
"Not me."
"I do," I replied.
"Well," the tank said, "I guess we're not going very far then."
What the hell!! I said I had the key!! I fumed through the next couple of pulls, while the Warrior dispensed his wisdom concerning Paladins. "They should shut up and go back to being glorified buff-bots. I'm sick and tired of their whining."
"Yep," replied the healer. "They're a bunch of asses who can't do s#!&."
The Interrogator dropped quickly, and the tank took the lack of an 'instance over' sign personally. "This sucks. You're all stupid anyway."
And then he dropped.
So did everyone else.
I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I wasn't the one with the debuff, and I was grateful that I didn't have to put up with any of that combo for the next hour.
Compared to this, most any run would be an improvement. At the same time, both of those clowns completely blew the three DPS off, and even when I said something worthwhile, it was completely ignored. We were reduced to being piss-boys for the tank and healer, unworthy of taking a leak in the same area they were soiling. Talk about treating your fellow player with respect.
I was tempted to think that I was ignored because I was the only female toon, and one with a name that a player had obviously put some thought into, which in some camps that means I'm a female player. However, I chalked this one up to just pure asshatery; if I had Tomakan or Quintalan along, I'd have gotten the same treatment. Now that I think about it, I'd have probably been treated worse, given their opinions on Paladins.
The pugging scene is what it is; there are jerks, and there are great puggers. I try to be the latter, and by doing so encourage others to be a better pugger.
Ironically enough, the night before this pug, I'd had one of those runs that you never really want to end. It didn't start off very good, as the Druid tank pulled the entire first chamber of Blackrock Depths, then complained when we wiped. He and a DPS immediately dropped, while three of us ran back.
One of the three got into the open area for Blackrock Mountain and had no idea where to turn. Having found the entrance to BRD the hard way while grinding for Loremaster, I talked him through it. When he finally made it through that opening, he was effusive in his praise. "I'd never been able to find the entrance before," he admitted. "I think I should call you Saint Nevelanthana, although that's a pretty long name."
"Neve for short," I said.
The queue eventually gave us back a new tank and DPS, and we started over. The warrior tank said he'd like to go as far as we could, even though he admitted he couldn't go all the way to the end at L52. He did everything right, from LoS pulls to waiting for people to drink. The Fireguard pairs at each entrance? He asked the warrior DPS to off tank the one so he could take the other. When someone asked a question about what was up ahead, he gave a precise and detailed answer.
"You're damn sight better than the Druid tank we first had," I said.
He chuckled. "You had a Druid tank? Say no more."
I never reached the end of BRD on that run, because I got paged and had to login to work. We said our goodbyes, and the lost puggee again thanked me profusely.
In comparing the two runs, the first thing that stands out is the quality of the tank. Technical skill isn't always what's needed, you need leadership. Whether they like it or not, tanks are the leaders: they have to know the way around, they have to know the boss fights up ahead, and they have to monitor the status of the group. That's not an easy task, and people who queue to tank just to skip the wait for DPS often don't succeed.
Another difference between the two runs was the attitude. You know how when a group bonds you can actually feel it? That happened with the latter group. In the former group, the overall attitude of the tank and healer was that we were there to make them happy. Make no mistake; this was their run, the DPS was just along for the ride. When you have that sort of attitude, unscrupulous puggees won't hesitate to sabotage a run. Much better for everyone that you have a tolerant attitude and can handle some foibles.
I also think that the time of day has something to do with the success of a pug. Distractions count, especially when people might be raiding that evening on another toon. I've had people say "I want this run done in 10 minutes because I've got VoA tonight," and that doesn't exactly give a player warm fuzzies to know that someone you're pugging with has their eye on something else.
Maybe the best thing that you can say about pugs is that each one is different, but it's up to you to hold to your end of the bargain. Don't let the bastards get you down.

New Belgium Brewing's Lost in the Woods showcases sour beers
New Belgium Brewing Company's high priestess of sour beer Lauren Salazar often says she has a dream that one day the brewery's delicious La Folie would become the nation's go-to sour in the same way Fat Tire is to amber ale.
It is a wish that could some day come true.
As more breweries produce sour beers, the American palette is growing more sophisticated and sours are becoming more accepted. In due time people surely will begin to expect to see more sour beer tap handles, and La Folie from the nation's third-largest craft brewer would be a good choice.
"I am still hopeful that we can produce enough that people say, 'This is the sour that I can actually get,'" she said. "It will become their Friday five o'clock beer of choice. Before that beer was probably an IPA or an amber, but maybe now it will be a sour."
On Saturday, New Belgium Brewing will introduce its 2016 batch of sour beauts — La Folie and Transatlantic Kriek — at 35 Lost in the Woods events throughout the country, including in Denver and at the flagship brewery in Fort Collins.
The event in Fort Collins sold out in 39 minutes and has a wait list of 300 people. Denver's event will be from 6-11 p.m. at Battery 621 at 621 Kalamath St. and tickets for $43.19 are still available.

There is some Michael Bay involved.) Special thanks to Katie Rife for enduring the loud, punishing blockbuster gauntlet to put it together.

I actually thought this years bottled Hop Slam was on par with last years, and it's still probably my favorite seasonal. However, I wasn't real impressed with it on tap down at Flying Saucer. I did have a cold at the time, so there's that. I would agree with Palmer though that Double Jack ranks right up there with it, minus the honey. I've been getting into imperial stouts lately, and my latest love affair is the bourbon barrel-aged from Schlafly. http://schlafly.com/beers/styles/bourbon-barrel-aged-imperial-stout/ Drinks similar to last years Rye On Rye for me. I honestly wasn't real hot with Schlafly in general, but between this and their T-IPA they are slowly becoming a label I look for when browsing through the coolers. When can we expect KBS to come in?
Opened my Firestone Walker Parabola from 2011 the other day. Amazing is all I have to say about it.
Stiles shared a Boulevard Smokestack Rye on Rye with myself and Ekolk recently. What a potent heady beer. It hits your palette and tastes like the whiskey barrels it was aged in more than beer, but then you get the nice hop finish. Great brew!
....a contest to see who can name the most obscure sh1t ....
Surprise, surprise, negative post about *insert any topic here* from Hyzer...
Jack's right, High Life isn't so obscure.You should join in on the beer snobbing Keizer. It's fun. The world of beer is far more vast than American adjunct lagers made by the big 3. Ever try a Boulevard Pilsner?

Kaufmanfranco Fall Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
by Melissa Tunstall
Espionage inspiration is kind of a funny one. For a career that wants you to blend in, fashion designers who use the spy world as inspiration sure make it difficult. And Kaufmanfranco is no exception. Their fall ready-to-wear 2013 collection relied heavily on leathers and furs and played up the good girl gone bad spy persona—more James Bond than Homeland. In other words, this collection would turn heads.
Leather and furs provided the texture of the mostly black collection. Mini dresses, pants, and even maxi dresses stormed the runway, offering the spy girl an outfit for every occasion. And while deep v-cut necklines and sparkles added some glam, the tailoring of the coats-different shapes and cuts—made the collection more wearable.
Touches of green (umm hello gorgeous, green evening gown, nice to meet you) and taupes managed to break up the mostly black and gray palette of the collection. However, the knee-high boots seemed a bit overplayed and obvious for the inspiration. Being the first runway show for designers Ken Kaufman and Isaac Franco, we're sure the styling and dimensions will only expand as the brand grows. The beginning and end of the show stole the drama and held the best designs. If a spy were dressed in this collection, it's easy to see why so many people fall head over heels for the seductive vixens of the spy world.

|MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.5 beta has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.5 is a new version of the pure Python database driver for MySQL. This is the first in a series of beta releases that will introduce users to new features and changes. This release is feature complete, but as a non-GA release is not recommended for use in production environments. MySQL Connector/Python version 1.0 is compatible with MySQL Server versions 5.5 and greater, but should work with earlier versions (greater than v4.1). MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.5 (beta) is available for download from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/#downloads (Note: not all mirrors may be up to date yet) A brief summary of changes in MySQL Connector/Python v1.0 is listed below. Please check the ChangeLog file inside the distribution for a more complete list of changes. Changes in MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.5 ---------------------------------------- This section documents changes and Bug fixes that have been applied in MySQL Connector/Python since the development release v0.3.2. Functionality Added or Changed: * Adding support for time values with a fractional seconds part. A new example script microseconds.py was added to show this functionality. * Refactored the modules connection and protocol and created a new module network. The MySQLProtocol does not keep a reference to the connection object any more and deals only with creating and parsing MySQL packets. Network interaction is now done by the MySQLConnection objects (with the exception of MySQLProtocol.read_text_result()). * Added MySQLConnection.reconnect() which used to reconnect to the MySQL server. It accepts number of retries and a delay between attempts. * Added descriptive error codes for both client and server errors in the module errorcode. A new sub-package locales has been added, which currently only support English client error messages. * Added SQLMode class in the constants module, making it easier to use them. * Incompatible Change: The MySQLConnection.ping() method raises an InterfaceError when the MySQL server is not available. It can also optinally reconnect and accepts the same arguments as the reconnect() method. * Incompatible Change: The MySQLConnection.is_connect() method now returns True or False. It can be used to simply check whether a connection is available or not. * Incompatible Change: MySQLCursor.execute() does not return anything for single statement operations. Sending multiple statements will result in a generator object to be returned by MySQLCursor.execute(). The MySQLCursor.next_resultset() became obsolete and was removed and the MySQLCursor.next_proc_result() method has been renamed to MySQLCursor.proc_results(), which returns a generator object. The MySQLCursor.with_rows property can be used to check if a result could return rows. The multiple_resultset.py example script shows how to go through results produced by sending multiple statements. (Bug #14208326) * Incompatible Change: The method MySQLConnection.set_charset() has been removed and replaced by MySQLConnection.set_charset_collation() to simplify setting and retrieving character set and collation information. The MySQLConnection properties collation and charset are now read-only. (Bug #14260052) * Incompatible Change: The MySQLConnection methods unset_client_flag() and set_client_flag() have been removed. Use the set_client_flags() method instead using a sequence. (Bug #14259996) Bug Fixes: * Fixed MySQLCursor.executemany() when INSERT statements use the 'ON DUPLICATE KEY'-clause with a function like VALUES(). (Bug #14259954, Bug #65678) * Fixed cursor.CursorBase attributes description, lastrowid and rowcount to be read-only properties. (Bug #14231160) * Fixed and refactored mysql.connector.errors module. (Bug #14039339) * Fixed MySQLCursor.description so column names are Unicode. (Bug #13792575) * Fixed automatic garbage collection which caused memory usage to grow over time. (Bug #13435186) * Fixed setting time zone for current MySQL session. (Bug #13395083) * Fixed handling of errors after authentication for Python v3. (Bug #13364285) Documentation ------------- The documentation is still being developed, and is included in the distribution under the docs/ folder. Reporting Bugs -------------- We welcome and appreciate your feedback and Bug reports: http://bugs.mysql.com/ Enjoy! On behalf of the MySQL Build Team, Kent Boortz -- Kent Boortz, Release Staff engineer Oracle, The MySQL Team Mobile: +46 76 77 69 049

First off, thanks to Food Network for ruining the name "Iron Chef".
Now I think marketers just screw things up.
Iron Chef my ass…more like "Wafer-thin Parchment Paper Chef"
Because I'm pretty sure any of the Iron Chefs want to be associated with the sauces in these bottles.
"Iron Chef K"? Which one was that?
Or maybe the Fatty-Batty-Boom-Ba-Latty Snapple Chick thought, "Oh, maybe we'll try to bottle some Asian sauces too."
Don't buy this stuff cause it makes you look stupid.
Besides, you can make this on your own.
It's Monday – stop screwing around with the water filter in the ice machine and get back to work.

Every autumn brings an air that is crisp and filled with a sense of change and each autumn the ARDA Fall Conference takes a look at the past year as it prepares for the upcoming new year. This year, industry leaders came together in positive synergy to look at 2018 and the endless possibilities that it holds. This air of positivity was strongly felt throughout the conference halls, in the courtyard, around dinner tables and even overflowing into the city streets of Washington DC. It helped to fuel our industry workshops and meetings during the conference, as we begin to develop key strategies that will lay the foundation for our industry's continued growth. This year's program took a deeper-dive into the economic and political environments that surround our business and the initiatives that help to drive our industry forward. Here are a few highlights:
Interval International kicked off Fall Conference with it's opening night reception.
ARDA Trustees mingled during the Trustee Foundation Dinner at the Kreeger Museum hosted by First American Title Insurance Company.
ARDA-ROC Legislative Luncheon special guest speaker A.B. Stoddard shared insightful analysis of recent mid-term elections and key forces at work in the overall political landscape.

Soma is also known as Carsoma or Carisoprodol. Soma is prescribed to treat people who suffer from stiffness, discomfort, pain and other symptoms associated with muscle injuries. Soma works by targeting the Central Nervous System and obstructs the pain sensations between the nerves and brain. Soma should be used in combination with a treatment program that entails rest and physical therapy to get the best results. As musculoskeletal conditions happen over a short period of time, the use of Soma should exceed no more than three weeks.
Where to buy
We recommend that soma be bought at only legitimate online drug stores such as buying the medication tramadol which can be bought via buycheapesttramadol.org.
How Taken
Inform your doctor about your medical history including if you are pregnant, have any allergies or disorders in order to determine the risks and benefits of taking Soma. Soma is orally administered in 350mg doses, usually four times a day for adults and teens with a full glass of water.
Side Effects
Side effects cannot be anticipated and may include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, stomach pain, depression, sleep problems, hiccups, vomiting, tremor, nausea and blurred vision. Uncommon but more serious symptoms are characterized by an allergic reaction, paralysis, irregular heartbeat, intense weakness, agitation, fainting, vision loss and seizure. Seek emergency help if any of the mentioned symptoms occur.
Soma must only be taken by the person it has been prescribed to as it can be addictive. After treatment, withdrawal symptoms are quite possible. Inform your doctor about your medical history and any prescription or recreational drugs you are taking including narcotics, cold and allergy medication, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers as well as any medication to treat depression, seizures or anxiety.
As Soma increases dizziness and drowsiness, use caution when driving, operating machinery, drinking alcohol or participating in any activities that require you to be alert. Soma must not be taken for patients who suffer from porphyria or who are allergic to carisoprodol or meprobamate.
If you a miss a dose, take it within an hour of scheduled dosing time. If not, skip the missed one and return to normal dosing schedule but do not take two at once.
Soma should be stored at room temperature and protected from moisture and heat.
A soma overdose may be indicated by confusion, seizure, dizziness, hallucinations, vision impairment, fast heartbeat, shallow breathing and stiff muscles. Contact your nearest poison centre or emergency ward.

Even with a new beta looming for release, Microsoft's MSN Search is only getting worse, ratings that is. According to Nielsen/NetRatings, MSN Search saw its search share drop 3 percent in March. Going into the month, MSN held a 14 percent share of the market, but it finished March out with a measly 11 percent. On the other hand, Google saw a 2 percent increase finishing March with 49 percent of the market in hand. For those that can't do the math, every other search is performed with Google.
Besides Google and MSN, Yahoo finished at 22 percent, which is one percentage point above its previous share. With Yahoo and Google taking more and more of the market, should Microsoft ditch MSN completely and devote its time to Windows Live? I have a tendency to think not. MSN offers much more initial content than Windows Live does. Windows Live is for users who wish to customize, whereas MSN gives users oodles of content right away, specifically articles and news stories. Frankly, I actually like some of the features that MSN offers. If Microsoft could find a balance between MSN and Windows Live, it could stop the falling numbers and definitely lure in some new users. Of course, I'm talking about content, and the study only showed search engine numbers. Regardless, the numbers still reflect where users are spending their time, and it is obviously not MSN.

The countdown to a possible shutdown is now being measured in hours, not days, with cable news networks carrying ticking clocks on their screens — and the likelihood of a shutdown seems to be growing by the hour.
House Republicans spent much of Thursday whipping votes for their short-term spending bill to keep the government open until February 16 — a scramble that was exacerbated by President Trump's morning tweet that the Children's Health Insurance Program should be part of a long-term "solution," not a short-term funding extension.
The White House and House Speaker Paul Ryan later assured reporters that the president does indeed support the GOP bill, which would extend the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.
Ryan also expressed optimism that Republicans will have the necessary votes in the House, but conservatives continue to oppose the bill. "I promise you he doesn't have the votes," Representative Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, said.
A floor vote on the House bill is expected tonight.
But even if the House GOP does pass the measure tonight — by the skin of their teeth — three Republicans and 39 Democrats in the Senate have come out against the bill, enough to block it. Senate Democrats reportedly hope to force Republicans to negotiate with them on immigration, CHIP and spending caps.
"While it is possible that members could shift their positions, it definitely means the federal government is closer to a shutdown than it has been since a 16-day closure in 2013," The Hill reports. And Politico says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is already planning for a shutdown.
A Five- or Seven-Day Deal?
A group of senators is also considering an even shorter extension of government funding, proposed by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), which would buy lawmakers several more days to hammer out a deal.
We'll find out Thursday night if conservatives in his party do, too — and then see if Senate Democrats decide to make their stand or are willing to sign on to a spending bill that lasts just a few days in hopes of making more progress on an immigration deal.

Welcome Baby Labor Support & Birth Services
Heather offers: Labor and birth support, postpartum support, childbirth education, breastfeeding assistance, sibling preparation classes, birth plan assistance, cloth diapering tutorials, safe baby-wearing tutorials, customized aromatherapy for pre- and postpartum use. She serves families in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, Southern New Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware.
My name is Heather. I am 34-years-old; a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to the two beautiful little girls who have blessed our lives.
I have trained with both DONA and Birth Arts International and will draw upon my knowledge and experience as a birth doula and a mother of two to provide you and your family with physical, emotional and informational support prior to and during the birth of your child. My role is to help you and your family have a satisfying birth as you define it, whether that is in a hospital, birth center or at home, medicated or natural. I have experience with a variety of birth scenarios, including: unmedicated vaginal birth, medicated vaginal birth, high-risk, cesarean section, and single mother. I am also trained as a breastfeeding peer counselor through the Philadelphia Department of Health. (Website:
I became fascinated with the subject of birth and had a growing desire to connect with other women about this transformative experience after the birth of my first daughter in the hospital in 2005. I began to understand the importance of making informed birth choices, of truly understanding the models of care available, of knowing where to find accurate information and of having the right people there to support you during labor. In 2008, I had my second daughter in a planned and wonderful home birth with a caring team of trained professional midwives. It was a defining moment in my life, prompting me to pursue work as a birth doula and helping to shape my beliefs about pregnancy, labor and birth.
• I believe that the period of pregnancy and birth is a remarkable and incredibly special time in a woman's life that should be honored with dignity and respect.
• I believe that all women have immense inner strength, both physical and emotional, that equips them to rise to the challenges of bringing new life into the world and that when surrounded by caring and empathetic people who support and encourage their efforts, they are able to tap into this inner strength and successfully realize their vision for birth.
• I believe that a laboring woman is best served by other women who have an intimate understanding of the profoundly transformative experience of giving birth -- women who have found their own inner strength and can help the laboring woman to find hers.
In addition to my training and experience, I bring to the birth space many assets--an extra set of hands, a basis of knowledge and experience regarding the normal process of birth and, most importantly, a positive and encouraging attitude and a willingness to support the laboring mother and her birth team to the best of my ability during this incredibly special time.

2. Contestants may enter on the day of the race provided their entry is completed by 1:00pm.
3. Contestants will use needles and yarn provided by Over The Rainbow Yarn so all materials will be identical
4. The race will be divided into heats. The first heat will be English style knitters (those who carry their yarn in their right hand and "throw" their stitches). The second heat will be Continental style knitters (those who carry their yarn in their left hand and "pick" their stitches). The fastest English style knitter from the first heat and the fastest Continental style knitter from the second heat will then compete in the final race. The winner of the final race will be declared Maine's Fastest Knitter.
4a. In the event of a hybrid style, a knitter will be classified by whether stitches are thrown or picked rather than which hand the yarn is carried in. This designation will be determined by the judges whose decision will be final.
5. Each heat will be held in the same format. Each contestant will be given a swatch with 100 stitches already cast on in worsted weight yarn on US size 8 needles (provided by Over The Rainbow Yarn) with four rows of garter stitch already in place. A contrasting color will already be attached so it will be clear which rows were pre-done and which rows the contestant will complete. There will be a count down (Ready, Set, Go) and contestants will complete four rows of garter stitch. When contestants finish their four rows of garter stitch, they will shout, "Done," put both needles in one hand and raise that hand over their head signaling the end of the race.
6. Three official observers will then count the rows to be sure all four have been completed. In case of a mistaken stop, the heat will be run again.
7. The race will be video taped. The video tape will be used to solve disputes about the finish of each heat.
7a. Video tape will also be used for promotional marketing for Over The Rainbow Yarn, any and all sponsors,
and future Maine's Fastest Knitter Races. Photo/video releases will be available with your registration
8. In case of a tie, the two tied contestants will run the heat again against only each other.
9. The official observers will do their utmost to ensure a fair and impartial resolution of disputes. The decisions of these observers is final.
10. After the two preliminary heats, the fastest English and the fastest Continental knitters will repeat the same format (100 stitches, four rows of garter stitch) to establish the overall winner.
Responsibilities of Maine's fastest Knitter:
1. The winner will be declared Maine's Fastest Knitter and will be required to defend her/his title at the 2013 Lobster Festival.

Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is the most spectacular show in the world, enjoyed by an international television audience of 100 million. There is, however, no substitute for being there in person as part of the 217,000-strong audience over its three-week season on the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle who dont simply watch the show but become a part of it.
|Buy Ticket
Edinburgh Castle is a castle fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC, although the nature of early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle here since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. As one of the most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle has been involved in many historical conflicts, from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, up to the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and has been besieged, both successfully and unsuccessfully, on several occasions. From the later 17th century, the castle became a military base, with a large garrison. Its importance as a historic monument was recognised from the 19th century, and various restoration programmes have been carried out since.

Installation chamfers should be designed into the cylinder bore and onto the assembly end of the piston rod to ensure that the seal can easily transition from its free state diameter into its installed diameter. The installation chamfer should also be blended into the cylinder bore or piston rod diameter with a generous radius. The chamfer angle and minimum length recommendations are provided in the size lists of the relevant product section.

As the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations and sit-in move into their third week, trying to nail down the purpose and future of the movement can seem a frustrating task. It is as vast as the thousands who have gathered there, and it could go on in some form for months. Or not, as the case may be.
About 1,000 people have been arrested so far – most on misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges related to blocking traffic or refusing police orders to move.
But unlike the 1999 "Battle in Seattle" when anarchists and others trashed the city's downtown during a mass protest of the World Trade Organization meeting there, the Wall Street protest has generally been nonviolent. The one notable exception was when a police officer – later identified as Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna – was videographed shooting pepper spray at women peacefully penned inside police netting. That event is under official investigation.
Film maker Michael Moore and others say it's Wall Street bankers who should be arrested for their role in the country's economic difficulties.
"The world's economy has been wrecked by these rapacious traders," author Salman Rushdie tweeted. "Yet it is the protesters who are jailed."
On the "Wall Street Campout" Facebook page, the protest is described as "an ongoing nonviolent demonstration opposing what participants view as negative corporate influence over US politics."
"It was inspired by the Arab Spring movement, particularly the protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square which resulted in the 2011 Egyptian Revolution," the description continues. "The aim of the demonstration is to begin a sustained occupation of Wall Street, the financial district of New York City. Organizers intend for the occupation to last a few months."
But beyond that, there's no 10-point list of demands to be nailed, Martin Luther-like, to the business and media establishment's door.
"It's impossible to translate the issue of the greed of Wall Street into one demand, or two demands," Princeton University professor Cornel West told Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! this week. "We're talking about a democratic awakening. We're talking about raising political consciousness."
In essence, the reasons behind the protest – which has a loose structure centered on social media, and which lacks any formal set of demands – seem as varied and numerous as the protesters themselves gathered at Zuccotti Park, which is private land open to the public in downtown Manhattan near the former World Trade Center.
"Look, I can't name [just] one single thing I'd like reformed because I'd like the whole system reformed … education, economics … all across the board," says Mike Esperson from Queens, New York.
"I got the Facebook invite about 3 days before I left, and I was like, hey this is what I was waiting for," he says. "This is a grass roots movement about people claiming some autonomy."
Dave Immenburseo, who came to Wall Street from Philadelphia, says, "The fact that corporations are controlling and manipulating the economies of the majority of countries – especially third world countries – that's what really angers me."
"We're in the financial district of Manhattan for a reason," says Dew Petrilli, who lives in Brooklyn. "We're not at the NYPD headquarters so it's not protesting the police or police brutality. We're in the financial district."
"Most decisions about our nation's wealth are made in this district, and something is seriously wrong with it," he says. "People are losing their homes. Unemployment is up and there is a reason for it. And even though some people might not be the most knowledgeable, the basic idea that something is wrong is clear … no matter what your political side is."
Following Saturday's march across the Brooklyn Bridge, when some 700 people were arrested for blocking traffic, Sunday was relatively quiet. Protesters are planning their next big march for Wednesday.
Meanwhile, smaller-scale protests spread over the weekend to Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Denver, Washington, Albuquerque, Portland, Maine, and several other cities. An "Occupy Toronto" protest is planned in Canada.
Chris Richardson contributed to this reported from New York.

Oz set to run on Microsoft time
Plus mind-expanding statistical shenanigans
Letters A very special welcome this Friday to all our Australian readers who, as we recently reported were favoured by Microsoft with a special Commonwealth Games daylight saving time patch - or something like that. Suffice it to say, we thought this was a pretty straighforward matter. No so:
I'm not usually one to defend Microsoft, however the time zone patch was released late last year, not just recently, so they did not really drag their feet on that. It didn't help that some State Governments did not even gazette the daylight saving time transition changes until November.
What Microsoft did drag their feet on though was getting a patch out for the patch. The initial patch release incorrectly brought forward the start of daylight time in South Australia for 2006 by almost a month. So any user in South Australia who deployed the initial patch and lived with the problems of rescheduling meetings that had already been made during the extended week of DST would discover that their clocks were out of whack with reality in October 2006 and if they fixed it then, any meetings that they had made for that four weeks would be out of whack.
So, with Microsoft's initial (tested?) patch, a patch to fix one week of problem would have resulted in four weeks of problem. A patch in time saves... 0.25?
A revised patch was released on or about 15th February by Microsoft for this. I've yet to see anything from Microsoft specifically advising customers in South Australia (some of whom are very large) who had already downloaded the patch to do so again and the only change that I noticed on the Technet web page was that the version number was changed to 2.0. Everything else, including the "Release Date of Patch", remained the same.
Christian Legg
Don't think your article really conveys the magnitude of how stuffed up the MS patch for this problem is.
First you apply the patch, then once you are through the change, you have to de-install the patch otherwise all future daylight changes are thought to be on that date. Neat uh?
Thanks, Brian Turner
From what I hear, Network administrators have been happily applying the patch all over the country. Ah, yes, but once this patch is applied, the PC thinks that daylight saving has been extended every year into the future...And as far as I am aware, there is no uninstall that comes with this patch that could be applied (after the Commonwealth Games are over) to take the PC back to 'normal' daylight saving time.

Oh dear, oh dear. A good effort but no cigar.
SMS can cripple. That's the word from Virgin Mobile warning of the chilling consequences of excessive text. But what about those figures?:
"10 per cent of those surveyed send up to 100 texts a day."
So 90% send over 100 texts a day?
A bit sloppy! I have no idea what you were even trying to say.
Jonathan Larmou
Get your maths right... 38% of us don't have RSI from texting... 38% of those of us who send ~100 texts a day suffer from it, (that's about 10% of us, from later in the article) so that's about 3.8% plus a bit from those who send (say) 50 texts a day, or 60, or 70.
More articles like these are needed, people are still very much unaware of the risks of constantly using computers, video games, cell phones and mp3 players. I should know, my whole arm throbs in pain if I use a normal mouse for twenty minutes!
You could bee sending texts like crazy everyday for a year and not feel anything, but one day you might feel severe pain as constant use of a phone's tiny keys can compound the strain on your nerves and joints over time.
Well, praise be that someone found the piece of some small cautionary use. The person who operated the calculator on this one has been banished to the Vulture Central toilets for the traditional scrubbing-brush-based punishment duty.
After which, they'll be needing a nice refreshing cup of tea. Not Brazilian mind-bending tea, we hasten to add. Here's a bit more info on the active ingredients of this (now legal in the US) brew:
"The Brazilian blend of hoasca uses Banisteriopsis caapi - a jungle vine known as "ayahuasca" in... "
Yes, this plant also known as 'Morning Glory' grows across most of the english speaking world - I've seen it growing all over Europe, the UK, and Australia (where it's a serious weed).
Pretty plant - lots of pics via google images here: http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official_s&q=morning+glory
Tim Price
Ayahuasca is actually the stew resulting from a combination of plants - the Banisteriopsis Caapi is merely a MAOI which allows the tryptamines (usually DMT) in the Psychotria Viridis, Mimosa Hostilis, Diplopterys Cabrerana etc. to be absorbed into the bloodstream - usually DMT is broken down by an enzyme in your stomach and is therefore not active orally without the use of a MAOI.
Regards, Craig Sheppard
Ok, got that? No? Let's have another go...
actually banisteriopsis caapi contains an MAO-Inhibitor that makes the DMT contained in psychotria viridis (or other DMT-conaining plants) orally active.
Er... right...
Why do I have the feeling that, after this media storm, the number of faithful in this brazilian church will quadruple faster than AMD cores ?
Pascal Monett
A fair point. Interested parties should proceed directly to the O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal.
And finally (yes we know this week's mailbag is a bit lean - you've only yourselves to blame), Pluto's moon Charon has two new companions:
I'm a great fan of your site. Good work.
As for names for the new moons of Pluto, I hope the namers stay with the theme. My votes would go to either Cerberus and Persephone or Eurydice and Orpheus.
Best wishes,
Steffen Silvis
Well, a quick straw poll of the office produced these non mythological alternatives: Morecambe and Wise; Wallace and Gromit; Tracey and Chardonney; and Bill and Ben. Any other suggestions more than welcome - we'll print the best in next week's letters. ®
