Our time in Prague was cold and wet, but we didn't let that hold us back.
The first day we got an overview of the city by going on a free walking tour (you still have to tip of course.) The man who led the tour, Paul, was very knowledgeable of the city. He's originally from the UK but has lived in Prague for the past ten years making his living off of the free tours (he must have an inheritance or something.)
Anyway, it was a great tour and we saw lots of the city. Our first stop was Wenceslas Square. This is the site where protests were held during the Communist regime. There is a plaque commemorating two students who set themselves on fire in order to show their dislike of the government. Paul also pointed out the old communist headquarters in the building now housing the department store Mark's and Spencer's.
After Wenceslas Square we walked to the Old Town Square. Here we saw the astronomical clock; the clock is reportedly Europe's number one most overrated tourist attraction. I have to agree. At the hour a skeleton pulls a string and the 12 apostles walk in a circle, that's it! Besides the clock the Old Town Square is pretty interesting. It was the site of many executions including Jan Hus, a religious reformer. There is a large memorial to him in the middle of the square.
Walking off of Old Town Square we entered the Jewish Quarter. Although the Jewish population fell dramatically after WWII (today there are only 2000 Jews in the entire Czech Republic) there is still a great museum of Jewish history. Paul pointed the museum out and Josh and I returned the next day. Paul also showed us the Hebrew Clock displayed in the area. The numbers are of course in Hebrew and the hands move counter-clockwise.
After examining the clock we continued to the St. Charles Bridge. This is the most famous, and I think the oldest, bridge in Prague. The walls are lined with full size statues of saints. On the bridge vendors sell artwork and postcards leading to traffic-jams of tourists. We made our way across and met Paul on the other side.
Next he led us down some steps to Kampa Island. This island has flooded quite a few times over the years, most recently in 2002, when the first floors of the buildings were completely filled with water. Luckily, the people were able to recover and the island is inhabited today.
As we exited the island we passed by the John Lennon wall, I forget John Lennon's connection to Prague except that the communist leaders banned his music. Anyway the wall is covered with messages of peace in the form of graffiti. It was a cool thing to see.
We ended our tour at the Prague Castle. Paul showed us around the outside, and pointed out the important parts. For example, he showed us where the crown jewels are kept inside St. Vitus' cathedral. Interestingly, the castle is still used today for government purposes.
The castle is one a hill overlooking the rest of Prague, so before ending the tour Paul pointed out some interesting landmarks. The first was a replica of the Eiffel Tower (I forget the story behind this) and the second was the communist TV tower. The communists built the tower as a symbol of their power, and it still stands today. In an attempt to soften its image an artist has put sculptures of giant babies up and down the structure. Personally, I think they just add to the creepiness factor.
We were totally exhausted after our three-hour walking tour, so after a quick stop at the church of St. Nicolas we headed home. Our hostel in Prague was really nice. Our room was huge! We had not only a bedroom, but also a kitchen area and a big bathroom. There was also a balcony over looking the garden outside. It was definitely one of the coolest places we've stayed.
After a restful night we were ready to go out again the next day. We headed to the Jewish museum that Paul pointed out the day before. The museum was comprised of several buildings, most of them synagogues throughout the neighborhood. The buildings contained information about the history of Jews in the Czech Republic and other information about Jewish customs. There was also a memorial to all the Czechs who lost their lives in WWII. The museum was really well done, and I learned a lot.
On the way back to the hostel we stopped by Bethlehem Chapel (now part of a University) to see where Jan Hus preached about reforming the Catholic Church. Besides the nice old lady working there, there wasn't too much else to see. Oh well.
That night we went on a Pub Crawl. After much research we decided "The Crawl" looked like our best bet. When we met the group in Old Town Square we discovered that about 75 other people thought the same way we did. It was a fun night, and we met quite a few nice people.
On our last day in Prague we visited a few more museums. The first was the Museum of Prague. I was hoping to learn about the city's modern history, but it turned out to be more of an anthropology museum. Its exhibit on Prehistoric times was very nicely done. The museum also had a huge collection of old coins, which was cool too.
After the museum we were ready for lunch. We knew from my dad, who visited Prague in 2005, that there were a few TGIFridays in town. We found one and enjoyed some American cuisine. Needless to say, it was delicious!
Leaving the restaurant we crossed the street and entered the Museum of Communism. Although the museum could use a larger piece of real estate it had some really cool stuff. Basically the museum teaches its visitors one thing: the leaders of Communism were jerks.
Leaving the communist museum we decided to take advantage of Prague's (relatively) new capitalist society and made a visit to the mall. It was one of the best malls we've seen in Europe with over 200 stores and lots of restaurants. After looking around we headed home and packed up for the journey to Munich.

I can already answer some of you mega-posters- yes I did try the amazing 'search feature', and did not find what I was looking for. Now that that's out of the way....
Looking for any kind of app that can add vid effects to Skype video chat (greyscale, sepia, etc). ANYTHING would be nice, considering the idiots that develop Skype can't seem to wrap their minds around OS X. Everything related to this topic is either 2 years old or has no replies. Any tips would be much appreciated. |

LONDON: Sachin Tendulkar's match-winning century knock in Chennai which he dedicated to the people of India deeply hurt by the terror attack in Mumbai has earned respect from England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff who called the master bataman a "role model" for the game.
"It is impossible not to admire him (Tendulkar) when you are out in the middle. He is a class player and a great role model for the game," Flintoff said.

Simple Expression LanguageThe Simple Expression Language was a really simple language you can use, but has since grown more powerful. Its primarily intended for being a really small and simple language for evaluating Expression and Predicate without requiring any new dependencies or knowledge of XPath; so its ideal for testing in camel-core. Its ideal to cover 95% of the common use cases when you need a little bit of expression based script in your Camel routes. However for much more complex use cases you are generally recommended to choose a more expressive and powerful language such as:
The simple language uses ${body} placeholders for complex expressions where the expression contains constant literals. The ${ } placeholders can be omitted if the expression is only the token itself.
To get the body of the in message: "body", or "in.body" or "${body}". A complex expression must use ${ } placeholders, such as: "Hello ${in.header.name} how are you?". You can have multiple functions in the same expression: "Hello ${in.header.name} this is ${in.header.me} speaking". Variables
OGNL expression supportAvailable as of Camel 2.3
The Simple and Bean language now supports a Camel OGNL notation for invoking beans in a chain like fashion. Then you can use Camel OGNL notation to access the address object: Camel understands the shorthand names for getters, but you can invoke any method or use the real name such as: You can also use the null safe operator (?.) to avoid NPE if for example the body does NOT have an address Its also possible to index in Map or List types, so you can do: To assume the body is Map based and lookup the value with foo as key, and invoke the getName method on that value.
You can access the Map or List objects directly using their key name (with or without dots) : Suppose there was no value with the key foo then you can use the null safe operator to avoid the NPE as shown: You can also access List types, for example to get lines from the address you can do: There is a special last keyword which can be used to get the last value from a list. And to get the 2nd last you can subtract a number, so we can use last-1 to indicate this: And the 3rd last is of course: And you can call the size method on the list with From Camel 2.11.1 onwards we added support for the length field for Java arrays as well, eg: And yes you can combine this with the operator support as shown below: Operator supportThe parser is limited to only support a single operator. To enable it the left value must be enclosed in ${ }. The syntax is: Where the rightValue can be a String literal enclosed in ' ', null, a constant value or another expression enclosed in ${ }.
Camel will automatically type convert the rightValue type to the leftValue type, so its able to eg. convert a string into a numeric so you can use > comparison for numeric values. The following operators are supported:
And the following unary operators can be used:
And the following logical operators can be used to group expressions:
The syntax for AND is: And the syntax for OR is: Some examples:
And a bit more advanced example where the right value is another expression And an example with contains, testing if the title contains the word Camel And an example with regex, testing if the number header is a 4 digit value: And finally an example if the header equals any of the values in the list. Each element must be separated by comma, and no space around. And for all the last 3 we also support the negate test using not: And you can test if the type is a certain instance, eg for instance a String We have added a shorthand for all java.lang types so you can write it as: Ranges are also supported. The range interval requires numbers and both from and end are inclusive. For instance to test whether a value is between 100 and 199: Notice we use .. in the range without spaces. Its based on the same syntax as Groovy. From Camel 2.9 onwards the range value must be in single quotes
Using and / orIf you have two expressions you can combine them with the and or or operator.
For instance: And of course the or is also supported. The sample would be: Notice: Currently and or or can only be used once in a simple language expression. This might change in the future. SamplesIn the Spring XML sample below we filter based on a header value: The Simple language can be used for the predicate test above in the Message Filter pattern, where we test if the in message has a foo header (a header with the key foo exists). If the expression evaluates to true then the message is routed to the mock:fooOrders endpoint, otherwise its lost in the deep blue sea . The same example in Java DSL: You can also use the simple language for simple text concatenations such as: Notice that we must use ${ } placeholders in the expression now to allow Camel to parse it correctly. And this sample uses the date command to output current date. And in the sample below we invoke the bean language to invoke a method on a bean to be included in the returned string: Where orderIdGenerator is the id of the bean registered in the Registry. If using Spring then its the Spring bean id. If we want to declare which method to invoke on the order id generator bean we must prepend .method name such as below where we invoke the generateId method. We can use the ?method=methodname option that we are familiar with the Bean component itself: And from Camel 2.3 onwards you can also convert the body to a given type, for example to ensure its a String you can do: There are a few types which have a shorthand notation, so we can use String instead of java.lang.String. These are: byte[], String, Integer, Long. All other types must use their FQN name, e.g. org.w3c.dom.Document. Its also possible to lookup a value from a header Map in Camel 2.3 onwards: In the code above we lookup the header with name type and regard it as a java.util.Map and we then lookup with the key gold and return the value. From Camel 2.9 onwards you can nest functions, such as shown below: Referring to constants or enumsAvailable as of Camel 2.11 Suppose you have an enum for customers And in a Content Based Router we can use the Simple language to refer to this enum, to check the message which enum it matches. Using new lines or tabs in XML DSLsAvailable as of Camel 2.9.3 From Camel 2.9.3 onwards its easier to specify new lines or tabs in XML DSLs as you can escape the value now Setting result typeAvailable as of Camel 2.8 You can now provide a result type to the Simple expression, which means the result of the evaluation will be converted to the desired type. This is most useable to define types such as booleans, integers, etc. For example to set a header as a boolean type you can do: And in XML DSL Changing function start and end tokensAvailable as of Camel 2.9.1 You can configure the function start and end tokens - ${ } using the setters changeFunctionStartToken and changeFunctionEndToken on SimpleLanguage, using Java code. From Spring XML you can define a <bean> tag with the new changed tokens in the properties as shown below: In the example above we use [ ] as the changed tokens. Notice by changing the start/end token you change those in all the Camel applications which share the same camel-core on their classpath. Loading script from external resourceAvailable as of Camel 2.11 You can externalize the script and have Camel load it from a resource such as "classpath:", "file:", or "http:". Setting Spring beans to Exchange propertiesAvailable as of Camel 2.6 You can set a spring bean into an exchange property as shown below: DependenciesThe Simple language is part of camel-core. |

Human IK is a great tool that can get you through rigging quickly, but it has it's own considerations…
Known issues:
- Do not ad extra neck bones to the rig, HumanIK doesn't ad controls properly if you do.
- Parent props to bones and not controls. Controls will often drift from your joints and then so will the props.
- Do not scale bones to fit your rig unless it is inside the skeleton generator. Scaling bones outside the generator causes issues.


text: Hello watchers. I was sitting reading my bible being thoroughly disapointed that the rapture wasn't on rosh hashanah and reminding myself that God knows what he is doing even if I am getting impatient, when a thought occurred to me. What if the day and the hour not known to man, (which a lot of us believe is code for rosh hashanah and not literally we can't know the day and the hour) is not the rapture but the second coming? Just a wishful thought, wanting to be with Him as soon as possible, so I looked up rosh hashanah 2017, which is Sept 20-22 in the states, and subtracted 2520 days which is 7 years of 30 day months, and I got October 27th-29th 2010...Which means if the treaty is signed kicking off the tribulation during that time, we might be raptured any second, even october 25th that a lot of you are looking at! For the rapture does not start the tribulation, the peace treaty does, so, if God wanted to (not saying he would but it could happen) that peace treaty could be one second or one year or anything between after the rapture. I think this puts a whole new spin on the idea that if the tribulation is close how much closer is the rapture!

I don't even know where to begin with this one. (Don't worry, I liked it.) So how about some general information? The Daemon Prism is the final volume (I think) of Carol Berg's Collegia Magica series, the first two having been The Spirit Lens and The Soul Mirror. I would definitely read both of those before approaching The Daemon Prism -- I actually find Dante, the chief narrator of this volume, to be a sympathetic character, but to the uninitiated, he might not seem that way at all. If you get his backstory and understand the previous events connecting him to other characters, though, you'll understand him a lot better.
As I recall -- and it's been awhile -- the previous two novels in the series were also first person point of view, but stuck to one narrator. Portier for The Spirit Lens and Anne for The Soul Mirror. So I think this was supposed to be Dante's book, but he splits narration duty with Anne (not equally), and gives one or two chapters each over to Portier and Ilario. I sort of don't feel like explaining who Anne, Portier, and Ilario are; all of them appeared in one or both of the previous novels and are really too complex to summarize in a couple of lines. Which is great -- the main characters are easy to remember, even if the novels are read years apart (as I did with these). I also didn't have much trouble following who was the narrator in each case, though Berg did some switching back and forth (I did sometimes have this problem with Song of the Beast, though that was Berg's first work and she has improved as a writer since then -- though that one was also good, mind you).
I started thinking about all the things I usually complain about with a novel -- bad grammar, words used incorrectly, tropes, etc., and it's difficult to come up with anything. I guess if I had one problem with the book, it's that there are several themes Berg revisits frequently, in different series. The details are quite different, but the skeletons are similar. You have a character, often male, who is beaten down to the point where you don't expect him to get up again. Seyonne, or Aidan, or Dante in this case. I mean, just all kinds of bad stuff happens to him -- slavery, unjust imprisonment, blindness. Also, Dante's time with Xanthe in The Daemon Prism reminds me somewhat of Seyonne's time in the demon world (it's been awhile since I read the Rai-Kirah series, so I don't remember the details, but I am reminded strongly of the overall theme). It also reminds me a little bit of the last The Tawny Man book by Robin Hobb, where there's a beautiful woman who tries to tempt the hero, all the while knowing about the torture of his friend, or ordering it (Portier, for Dante, or the Fool for Fitz). All right, guess I've discovered a trope.
But honestly, the tropes are few and far between. Anne is not so original, I think, I feel like we've seen other ladies of noble social status who (1) discover magical talents and (2) fall for men like Dante. Dante, as the powerful and angry mage, is not a stock character by any means, but he's familiar. But I really feel like the true originals here are Ilario and Portier. (My commentary on these two will draw from the previous novels as well.) Ilario acts the fool, but is in fact quite intelligent. He's gone for over twenty years with only a very few people being any the wiser (the king, Portier, and later Anne and Dante). I don't believe even his own sister knows that he's not a ridiculous fop. He made a conscious decision to do this, for reasons I don't quite remember -- perhaps his own safety, because he's a bastard, or perhaps that of his sister. His sister, Queen Eugenie, is fragile physically, having lost several children when they were very young, and emotionally, as well. And Ilario has dedicated himself to looking out for her. He's very good at putting on this act, and only stumbles after being nursed back to health from a severe injury and then having to go on the road while not fully recovered. And under a great deal of strain from the events of this story. If there are other characters like him in fantasy, I don't know of them. (Sure, there are lots of people who play a fool for awhile, but for nearly their whole lives?)
Probably the worst spoilers in this whole thing are in this paragraph. Portier starts out seeming fairly trope-ish -- the guy from a magical family who doesn't seem to have any hope at being a sorcerer, himself. (There were a few of these in the Harry Potter books, for example.) So he contents himself with being the librarian at the Collegia Magica, until he's drawn into events involving the court (he's a very distant cousin to the king) and the future of the world at large. He's had a string of near-death experiences, which, by the time of The Daemon Prism, everyone who is close to him believes have been actual deaths from which he has returned. He's not present for much of this third volume; we just know that Dante thinks Portier is in trouble (because he is). There is a cult that believes in saints reborn, and some of its members believe Portier is one of these people, come to save the world from some greater evil. Portier, whose magical talents were revealed/released at the end of The Spirit Lens, has come to believe himself to be the reincarnation of an old emperor, and when it becomes obvious during the story that he has to die to save the world, he willingly sacrifices himself -- just stops breathing, so that Ilario doesn't have to sully his own blade with his friend's blood.
One of the Amazon reviewers was right, there are a LOT of villains in this book. There's a Church Tetrarch who pursues Dante through most of the novel, only to change his mind at the end (there's a reason for this, and it makes sense in terms of the story, so don't let my cursory treatment of it make it seem shallow). There's a mage who has taken up residence at the site of some ancient mage wars so he can study that destructive magic, and gain it for himself (thankfully, Dante makes short work of him). There's Xanthe, who keeps Dante in thrall, and Jacard, who has styled himself king or emperor or something of the ancient city where Portier's previous incarnation was in charge. (Jacard was a villain from The Soul Mirror who escaped in the final moments.) There's Kajetan, a mage Portier knew from the Collegia Magica, who is dead but who wields influence from beyond the grave. There's a god called the Souleater who devours the souls of the departed and gains strength from doing so. There's even Dante himself, who has to partner with the Souleater (though he retains his original allegiances and tricks the god) and who has to do all manner of nasty things that Xanthe commands him to do.
Of these villains, Xanthe is -- to me -- the most complex. We see a lot of her because we see a lot of Dante; she has commanded him to teach her magic from some stones she's obtained (these stones are actually central to the story -- Portier takes them with him to the world of the dead at the end, removing magic from the world). I don't care for her, as she acts like a petulant child most of the time. She irritates me. She takes lovers and then if they dare to spurn her by returning to their families, she orders Dante to burn down their houses, for example. But there are, at least, reasons that she probably ended up this way, and she's torn between conflicting desires and demands.
Jacard and Kajetan are just basically evil here, though that's a devolution from their presence in previous novels, where they were more interesting. The Tetrarch's transformation from enemy to ally is good, I think. And of course we know that, while Dante may appear evil to others, he's not really so, and is only pretending to further the greater good.
I haven't yet mentioned two other characters who made appearances: Dante's brother, a blacksmith named Andero, and Rhea, a temple Healer and sort of a double agent for the Tetrarch. Andero serves mostly as muscle; he's a big guy and has been a soldier. Rhea is more complex. She's been with the temple a long time, but as a healer, she's more concerned with the health of her patient (Ilario) than with furthering the Tetrarch's demands, so she arranges to have Ilario spirited away from the hospice where he's been staying. She does report back to the Tetrarch, though, on our heroes' activities, and we think she's betrayed everyone, but I guess in the end, she does what she thought was right, and everything turned out all right.
One minor irritation: in the previous novel, Anne received some powder from her sister with the power to turn people who consume it, invisible. This device was employed a little too often in this book; there was precisely enough to use on everyone who needed it right up to the final confrontation.
There was a lot going on in this book, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. And that's in a trade paperback edition with only 482 pages! I'm not sure how I feel about beginnings and endings in this series. I don't think that The Soul Mirror or The Daemon Prism would've made standalones, as you do have to read the previous volumes to make sense of them. (The Spirit Lens reads rather like a standalone mystery novel in a fantasy setting, though.) I actually thought perhaps The Soul Mirror WAS going to be the end of the series (Berg has a duology out, so it's not unprecedented), so I was surprised to see The Daemon Prism. And that's why I said I *think* this is the last volume in the series. The book ends with Dante rediscovering a kind of magic (not the all-powerful sorcery he was known for, but something) inherent in all people and things. Well, he knew about it, I guess, and it's his salvation after the other magic follows Portier into the realms of the dead. So there's a lot of aftermath in society that could be dealt with in a future volume. The end of magic as it was known, including the end of the need for some of the Temple's services (readers). The end of the world of the dead as it was known, for that matter. And then there's Portier, poor Portier, who goes to his death without a whimper, knowing it's what he was born to do. He saves the world, but I really would've liked a happier ending for him (although, at the same time, it's refreshing to read something that doesn't end "happily ever after"). Maybe Berg was more distant from Portier in this book because she knew he had to go. And I'd probably find it cheesy for Berg to try to bring him back. But I suppose I *could* see that happening. (Or I could head over to her website or something and see if she has any more Collegia Magica books planned. But I'm too lazy to do that right now.)
At any rate, this review has reached a respectable length. I'll end by saying that my favorite things about this book are the exploration of Dante's character and motivation, the language and depth of emotion that Berg uses it to convey, and, actually, now that I think about it, the bittersweet ending. I would definitely recommend this book to Berg's fans, and the series as a whole to fantasy readers.

So go back to the house and get some bird food.
This is not typical Rose. She always has food for them. Hope she's not going into a funk…I put out seed, suet and water year round. The Cardinals are here all year and so are the woodpeckers and a few more…..like the squirrels.
I do the same; the woodpeckers really like the suet. Also, I finally put a portable submergible de-icer in the water container. My regular bird bath was too small, so I am now using the bottom half of a litter box (after cleaning it thoroughly, of course). It holds at least two gallons of water, and the heater doesn't come on until the water gets down to 35º.
When it comes to worms, Rose has 'pockets of resistance'!
You are a good person, phritzg!
Dearest phritzg, In my next level (life) I will be a song bird and I will come to your place, I promise I will sing until the cat eats me! (not peckaboo, I hope)
Really? You're in St. Louis? I thought the Cardinals only play until October and don't come back until April….??? we are anxiously awaiting the return of the Blue Jays.

You say that heroin has an effective dose to lethal dose ratio of five, however I have read in many sources that such a calculation for opioids (which includes opium, morphine, heroin, and perscription painkillers) has never been done conclusively, and that addicts routinely survive 10 times their usual dose without even falling asleep. What is your source for this ratio of 5-10?posted by Stephen SmithAugust 12, 2009 @ 12:08 PM
A casualty due to the toxicity of LSD would certainly be newsworthy, considering that there are no reported deaths from LSD overdose.Though it is in passing, implying that one can overdose on LSD is an unfair act of perpetuating the lie of LSD's toxicityposted by John TrombettaAugust 12, 2009 @ 1:27 PM

Usually I like cars with really low miles but this car is sol cool because it has 312,000 original miles on it and runs like a newer car. This is only a 1 Owner Car and yes the miles are actual. The previous owner drove the car back and fourth from Canada to California. You would never guess the miles by looking at the car. The factory baby blue paint is in great shape and has a very nice shine to it. The factory white vogue top looks great on the car and is in about as good of shape as you will find. The body is straight as can be and the paint is original. It has the 6.6L 400 engine that fires right up and runs great. It has been rebuilt along with many other things on the car. I talked to the mechanics that worked on the car and they remembered the guy and how good he took care of his car and really liked it. You would have to really like a car to put that many miles on it. The car feels and handles like a newer car and just floats down the road. The interior is in mint condition along with the rest of the car. Only the drivers seat shows minimal wear. It looks like he was the only one that made the trips because none of the other seats look like they hardly ever got sat in. Everything about this car is just clean as can be.

2009 Mercury Grand Marquis Road Test 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Engine: 4.6 liter SOHC V8 (224 horsepower/275 ft. lbs. of torque) Transmission: 4-speed automatic w/OD Rear Wheel Drive City/Highway MPG: 15/23 This is a full road test of my mom's 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis, to show how it performs in different situations, and to identify any problems that may exist. I would normally do this after having the car in the shop for repairs, but in this case I am driving the car around just to get a better idea of how it feels on the road. I drove it for about 2 hours and came away very impressed. It is comfortable, refined, solid, and very agile. With only 224 horsepower, one would think that it's underpowered compared to its V6 competitors. It's not. The torquey V8 will pin you to your seat when gunned from a dead stop, and once you're up to speed, there is always plenty of power in reserve. The big V8 has a deep, burly muscle car sound when revved, but at low RPMs it is muted and unobtrusive in the cabin. The 4 speed automatic isn't much of a handicap with the V8's torque curve, although it prefers not to downshift into 1st or 2nd unless you mash the pedal to the floor. If you drive with a light foot, and keep RPMs below 2000, you can easily attain 20+ mpg in everyday driving situations. On the highway, the car is very efficient, due to its tall overdrive gear that keeps the RPMs low. The four wheel ABS disc brakes provide adequate stopping power, with reasonably good pedal feel. Stopping distance is short in an emergency, although the front end dives toward the ground. The Marquis handles very well for a big car, even though it is not equipped with the Handling Package (this option was discontinued around 2007). In hard cornering, body roll is minimal and the Michelin tires provide plenty of grip. The rack and pinion steering setup leaves feel somewhat numb, but it's also pleasantly light and very accurate (especially on the highway). Mercury obviously wanted to leave some "slop" in the steering, so the old folks won't think they're driving a Ferrari :) If you must throw the car around, it is safe and predictable, and can be quite fun for a boat. Comfort is where the car really shines. The ride is very smooth, and gives you the feeling of "floating" over bumps. This is great on the highway, where little road imperfections are ironed out, but not so good on bumpy back roads. If you hit potholes or man hole covers, the car pogos up and down a couple times before settling. I enjoy this type of ride, but many people do not. Inside, the car is very quiet, and road noise is minimal. The leather bench seats are supremely comfortable and roomy, even after a couple of hours. Overall I am really pleased with how the car drives, and it just happens to be a car I would consider buying used. R.I.P. Mercury and all the Panther platform cars that have been discontinued. The song at the beginning is Cradle of Love by Billy Idol, one of my favorite 80s songs.

Effect of self-selected and induced slow and fast paddling on stroke kinematics during 1000 m outrigger canoeing ergometry
Sealey, Rebecca M., Ness, Kevin F., and Leicht, Anthony S. (2011) Effect of self-selected and induced slow and fast paddling on stroke kinematics during 1000 m outrigger canoeing ergometry. Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 10 (1). pp. 52-58.

This study aimed to identify the effect of different stroke rates on various kinematic parameters during 1000 m outrigger canoeing. Sixteen, experienced female outrigger canoeists completed three 1000 m outrigger ergometer time trials, one trial each using a self-selected, a Hawaiian (< 55 strokes·min-1) and a Tahitian (> 65 strokes·min-1) stroke rate. Stroke rate, stroke length, stroke time, proportion of time spent in propulsion and recovery, torso flexion angle and 'twist' were measured and compared with repeated measures ANOVAs. Stroke rate, stroke length and stroke time were significantly different across all interventions (p < 0.05) despite no difference in the percentage of time spent in the propulsive and recovery phases of the stroke. Stroke length and stroke time were negatively correlated to stroke rate for all interventions (r = -0.79 and -0.99, respectively). Female outrigger canoeists maintain consistent stroke kinematics throughout a 1000 m time trial, most likely as a learned skill to maximize crew paddling synchrony when paddling on-water. While the Hawaiian stroke rate resulted in the greatest trunk flexion movement and 'twist' action, this potential increased back injury risk may be offset by the slow stroke rate and long stroke length and hence slow rate of force development.

SYRACUSE -- The Syracuse Police Department is asking anyone with information about any past or recent sexual abuse cases involving Bernie Fine to contact the Syracuse Police Department at 315-442-5222. All calls will be kept strictly confidential.
The Syracuse Police Department Special Victims Unit is currently conducting an investigation into sexual abuse allegations that were brought to the Police Department on Thursday November 17, 2011. The allegations being made by the victims that came forward with new information Thursday occurred many years ago but the Syracuse Police Department has a responsibility to thoroughly investigate all these allegations. The purpose of this investigation is to determine if there had in fact been any sexual abuse in the past and if there are any current victims.
Friday morning, Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick told CNY Central that he's concerned with the handling of the investigations into alleged sexual abuse allegations against Bernie Fine in 2003 by Syracuse Police and in 2005 by Syracuse University. Fitzpatrick says they "didn't follow protocols" to notify his office of the investigation. (Listen to interview)
Fitzpatrick said that Bernie Fine's accusers were interviewed by Syracuse Police last night. His office has been in direct contact with the Syracuse Police Department which re-opened an investigation into the allegations against Fine. The D.A.'s office is awaiting the results of the police investigation.
Syracuse University issued an official statement Thursday night, saying, "Syracuse University takes any allegation of this sort extremely seriously and has zero tolerance for abuse of any kind. If any evidence or corroboration of the allegations had surfaced, we would have terminated the associate coach and reported it to the police immediately
The school placed Bernie Fine on administrative leave Thursday night "in light of the new allegations and the Syracuse City Police investigation." ESPN said the accusations were made by two former ball boys.
The Chancellor's message said, "We are aware that many wonder if university administrations are willing to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing that may disrupt a successful sports program. I can assure you I am not, and my fellow administrators are not. We hold everyone in our community to high standards and we don't tolerate illegal, abusive or unethical behavior—no matter who you are."

Bridge: Opponent Doing 'Right Thing' Sometimes Has Axe to Grind

ONE of the most satisfying plays in the game is to drop a singleton king off-side by valid reasoning. Holding eight, nine or ten trumps in the combined hands missing the king, a finesse would be normal play.

How The Internet Is Saving Haiti
By connecting humans to one another, the internet has revolutionized communication, and by extension it has also revolutionized aspects of every other discipline. This can be seen quite clearly in the lightning-fast response to the post-earthquake humanitarian crisis in Haiti.
Within an hour of the quake, news reports were disseminated across the globe instantly. Those reports made mention of the quake, its location, and its severity. That put aid agencies on alert, and sparked hundreds of thousands of subsequent phone calls between consular officials, humanitarian/aid organizations, foreign militaries, airlines, medical staff, concerned families, et cetera. The fight to save Haiti became viral, and the virus' method of delivery was undoubtedly the internet.
The internet has allowed for much more than quick dissemination and virality of news results. On Wednesday, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal posted image galleries online which effectively communicate the scale of the destruction to outsiders. The image galleries act as a crucial emotional appeal to humans' nurturing instincts, and are most probably responsible for a surge in the size and quantity of charitable donations being made.
Already, Haitian-American recording artist Wyclef Jean has managed to raise more than $750,000 for his Haiti-focused charity, Yele, by soliciting donations via Twitter. His charity accepts donations via the internet, and through SMS shortcode (Anyone on an American wireless carrier who texts 'YELE' to the phone number 501 501 makes a donation of $5 to Yele which is charged to their mobile phone bill). Without the viral platform that Twitter offers, Wyclef Jean's charity surely would have raised much less money.
The immediacy, virality, and rich media offered by our modern internet has surely helped save the lives of Haitians who would've perished without it.
If you'd like to make a donation to the relief effort, consider the following organizations:
Direct Relief International
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières
Facebook Profile Photos in Latin America Are Unintentional Hilarity
I've just come across perhaps the funniest yet-undiscovered thing on the internet. It seems that young people in Latin America are stylizing their Facebook profile photos, and with predictably hilarious results:
Those sunglasses are boss, but the fierce nickname, 'El Calen', really adds to the coolness factor.
Classy. Bonus points for the stars in the background.
How could she still be single with that money profile pic?
Killin' it with those shades! Don't mess with this muchacho.
DANGER! Skinny dancers! Yay-yo!
Adding insult to injury, many of the accused joined the 'Panama City, FL' regional network–instead of their native Panama–by mistake.
I'll let y'all find the rest.
Why We Need George W. Bush Back In Office
Due to an apparently fraudulent election in Iran, an interesting situation has presented itself. One in which the world would be much better off if the man controlling the White House was former-President George W. Bush.
One of the most hated Presidents in recent memory (if not the entirety of American history), George W. Bush managed to divide the nation into hostile camps of partisanship. He led a war into a foreign country that did not attack America, going against the traditional anti-war stance the Republican party had held for much of U.S. history (including Vietnam). He changed tax policy to increase the amount of earnings that the rich could keep, which both inductively and effectively led to increasing wealth inequality and disparity, fanning the flames of class warfare . And he was a foreign policy hawk, largely due to the construction of his cabinet which included prominent gung-ho warriors like Elliott Abrams, Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfowitz.
Barack Obama, in contrast, is a foreign policy diplomat. His message as well as his actions indicate a desire to show a new face to the world: an America that engages other nations constructively as an observer, but neither infringes on nations' sovereignty nor involves itself in their internal affairs.
Enter the 2009 Presidential Elections of Iran. It's come to light that Mr. Ahmedinejad, the victor, may have actually come in 3rd in votes. The vote was certified within three hours of being counted, whereas Iranian election law dictates that they be certified no earlier than three days after an election, so as to allow for appeals on grounds of corruption or voting-tally errors. The security services have green-lighted a provision to allow police to fire upon demonstrators and protesters who dare question the results, and have already begun shooting protesters in exactly this fashion.
It is time for a change of the political system in Iran, the first major change since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. A young and resurgent Iran demands Democracy and modernity, and now needs to rip the power away from the entrenched theocracy, the Mullahs, and the (Grand) Ayatollah (Al-Sistani).
Equally important to the Iranian people's revolutionary actions would be American intervention. The United States' CIA is widely-known as being responsible for the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq in August 1953, and is just as able to foment a revolution in Tehran now as they were then.
The best outcome of these election irregularities would be a peaceful popular uprising and a revolution. The mullahs, however, have other ideas, and would be a strong adversary during a revolution. The mullahs would call up the military to institute martial law in order to keep the revolutionary hordes down. Because of the mullahs and their power, the most likely endeavour to bring about revolution in Iran would require outside (U.S.) intervention in addition to a popular uprising.
With Barack Obama sitting in the White House being the calculated and 'safe' President that he has shown himself to be time after time, it is not likely that we will see strong support from him for an aggressive U.S. response/intervention. Doing that would go against not only the principles that he ran on and his outspoken stance against the war in Iraq, but against his subconscious self that has been shaped by his experiences in politics and law for decades.
Barack Obama is not the President who will help Iran over the pass and into the Valley of Liberty and Prosperity.
But who is?
The first man who comes to mind is none other than George W. Bush. Bush's father, George Herbert Walker Bush served for a time as Director of Central Intelligence under Gerald Ford, and knows of the CIA's capabilities regarding illegal and unauthorized activities and intervention on foreign soil (he was actually called in by Ford to investigate and clean-up the agency of this kind of activity). Bush 41 also led the charge of Desert Storm into Kuwait and Iraq in 1990 and is likewise quite willing to use the military and the CIA in defense of America's interests abroad. Bush 41′s son, George W. Bush, was likewise a war-hawk, willing to intervene for global interests and to ensure that authoritarian hegemony has no safe harbor in our modern world. He and his cabinet led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 in addition to the occupation of Afghanistan, and managed the occupations until his two-term presidency ended in January 2009.
If George W. Bush were the President of the United States, he and his cabinet would likely support and execute a covert intervention in Iran and supply the Iranian revolutionaries with intelligence, supplies, and money. Such a development would be best for Iran and the world, but because Barack Obama is such a measured and calculating anti-war President, American intervention is unlikely. Iran and the world will doubtlessly suffer because of this cruel joke of history.
It's now up to the Iranian people to rise up, as Ukraine did in 2004, and do what must be done–with or without the help of a passive and unassertive America.

On Saturday, Kung-Fu comedian and Chinese patriot Jackie Chan had this to say about freedom in his country:
I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not…I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic….I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.
Via Reason.
A group of Chinese scholars published a letter on the Internet on Monday accusing Chan of "not understanding how precious freedom is," even though "free Hong Kong provided the conditions for you to become an international action star."
A Facebook group set up by Hong Kong users calling for Chan to be exiled to North Korea had drawn more than 2,600 members by Tuesday.
Blast From The Past
In 1960, a gallon of gas cost 31 cents, Princeton University undergraduates were all male, the Braves played in Milwaukee, and Fidel Castro's Cuba was under a U.S. trade embargo. Today, gas costs more than $2 a gallon, Princeton has a female president as well as female students, the Braves make their home in Atlanta, and Fidel Castro's Cuba is…under a U.S. trade embargo.

Meet South Africa's Dashing New President
by Michael C. Moynihan
Originally published at Reason
To the threatening sounds of "Bring Me My Machine Gun," a song he appropriated for his 2008 campaign, supporters of African National Congress (ANC) president Jacob Zuma gathered at party headquarters to celebrate the South African state prosecutor's decision to drop all corruption charges against a man widely seen to be the country's next leader. Zuma, who has called homosexuality "a disgrace to the nation and to God" and recently went on trial for allegedly raping a family friend, has a rather colorful background, as described in a long, detailed, and depressing piece by Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday:
Zuma has at least four wives and 18 children. He has for years avoided standing trial on fraud and corruption charges. Nobody seriously believes he ever will: his approaching election is already spreading fear in South Africa's legal establishment.
Mr Zuma joined the Communist Party in 1962 (he only left a few years ago), and has a dark and inadequately examined past as a much-feared intelligence chief in the ANC's ruthless armed wing, Spear of the Nation. He underwent 'military training' in the old Soviet Union in 1978, when the KGB was very much in charge of such things…
He once spoke of how, in his youth, he would knock down any 'pansy boy'…He is keen on traditional medicine men. He thinks teenage unwed mothers should have their babies taken away; that school prayers should be compulsory. His political party, the African National Congress, sometimes seems aghast that it has chosen him as leader. Too late.
Election in Sochi
The mayoral race in Sochi (future site of the 2014 Olympic Games) includes an ex-KGB officer and an international fugitive wanted for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko. Why am I not surprised?
North Korean Dear Leader Kim Jong Il has accomplished a miracle: Pizza in Pyongyang.
It has taken almost 10 years of work, but North Korea has acquired the technology to launch a project very dear to its leader's heart—the nation's first "authentic" Italian pizzeria.
For those of you keeping score at home:
New York, center of capitalism: 1,520 pizza joints
Pyongyang, communist hermit kingdom: 1 pizza joint
And the Pyongyang v. New York pizza smack-down above doesn't even take into account per capita figures. New York has 9 million residents. North Korea has 24 million (starving) residents. Thus this charming contrast:
Despite the food shortages high-quality Italian wheat, flour, butter and cheese are being imported to ensure the perfect pizza is created every time.
Kim Jong Il's plan to provide pizza for the toiling masses of North Korea seems to have worked out better than his earlier plan to alleviate food shortages by breeding imported giant rabbits, which was aborted when the greedy Dear Leader decided to eat the initial batch of rabbits himself.

Russian Democracy
When Russian sociologist Yevgeny Gontmakher, writing in the newspaper Vedomosti, outlined a "Novocherkassk 2009″ scenario (a reference to the 1962 strike at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Factory) in which massive job layoffs, precipitated by falling oil prices, would cause social unrest, both the paper and author were sternly warned that they could be prosecuted for "inciting extremism." He should, though, be congratulated for his prescience. A month later, the Kremlin instituted massive tariffs on imported automobiles in an effort to "protect" the Russian automobile industry. Imports fell dramatically, jobs in the port of Vladivostok dried up, workers protested, and Putin sent in the truncheon-wielding Chekists to throw the protesters in police vans. It was an underreported story in the United States (though the New York Times did a good piece on the Vladivostok uprising, few others noticed), probably because such anti-democratic actions by the Putin regime seem to us so banal at this point.
In other underreported Russia news, being a journalist for the independent daily Novaya Gazeta is still one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Der Spiegel has a decent piece on the recent murder of Anastasia Baburova, an investigative journalist at Novaya Gazeta who was shot in Moscow by a masked gunman using a silenced pistol. Her companion, human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov, who served as counsel for the murdered Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politskaya, was also gunned down.
It was an execution in broad daylight, in the middle of Moscow's "Golden Mile," a neighborhood of high-priced mansions and old townhouses not far from the Kremlin. Once again Izvestiya, a pro-government daily, was quick to assign blame for the killings to the West.
Markelov had worked closely with the Russian human rights organization Memorial, whose offices were recently raided by government forces. They confiscated hard drives full of material related to Stalin's various purges.

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse; their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.
