Lithium Hard Rock Rush: Talison Lithium recharges Lithium Greenbushes Spodumene operations and TNR Gold digs into Lithium Moose project in Canada lth.to, tnr.v, czx.v, lmr.v, rm.v 1 comment
If you are following the Lithium Story you have a sense by now that the most desirable part of the business is connected to Lithium Brine production.It is the most economical way to produce Lithium in general terms, when Lithium is actually only a part of the credit in the total Lithium Brine Economics. Another main revenue driver is Potash - now-a-days it is a great combinations and that is why majority of M&A in Lithium place was concentrated around Salars with Lithium Brines.The 3rd Lithium Supply and Markets conference was held in January this year in Toronto. It was very interesting to find out that actually Hard Rock source of Lithium is of great interest to many Chinese companies. They have built facilities using the cheap source of state based financing and, according to some sources, have a lot of spare capacity without secured supply of Lithium spodumene. 12th 5-year plan in China announced that Electric Cars will become the strategic industry and China has very high ambitions to become the largest producer of Lithium Batteries and Electric Cars in the world. Galaxy from Australia was very vocal at the conference about increasing demand for this Lithium bearing mineral from China and now Talison is moving forward with its expansion program after recent financing."The net proceeds of the Offering will be used primarily to fund the Stage 2 expansion of the Greenbushes Lithium Operations (Western Australia), for exploration of the Salares 7 Lithium Project (Region III, Chile), and for general corporate and working capital purposes."As you remember, we are going with our capital into the early stage Lithium stories, which will be driven not only by the company own developments and underlining commodities, but by M&A activities around that company. TNR Gold with its International Lithium is our Top Pick now in the Lithium and Rare Earths sector after another company - Rodinia Lithium made a deal with Chinese Shan Shan. We are more than biased and you should not mistaken our excitement about Electric Cars and strategic commodities: Lithium and Rare Earths - with an investment advise.We are pleased to see that the company is not sleeping and moves forward its exploration program even within strict exchange pre IPO rules. We hope that next developments in this company will be worth all this wait and preparations.TNR Gold (TNR.V) (position held) will spin off International Lithium Corp. this spring according to company spokesman, Jerry Huang. In that situation, the Lithium properties in South America will be spun off with International Lithium while the gold, silver and copper properties will stay with TNR. Holders of TNR stock will receive 1 share and one warrant in ILC for each 4 shares held in TNR, thereby allowing shareholders to immediately own ILC shares."
Review Board recommends approval of TNR Gold Mineral Exploration Programby Mackenzie Valley Review Board on Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 8:00amOn January 20th, 2011 the Review Board submitted its report of environmental assessment on the proposed TNR Gold Corporation Ltd. mineral exploration project at Moose Property to the Honourable John Duncan, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Please see attached news release (Click on thumbnail) for more information. A copy of the decision can be found at the link below. Cover Letter and Report of Environmental Assessment for TNR Gold Corp Ltd. Media are asked to contact Renita Jenkins, Manager of Communications at 867-766-7051 with any questions.Attached file: January_20th_MVEIRB_News_Release_-_TNR_Gold_REA.PDF"ILC's property portfolio is well balanced by a number of highly prospective rare metals' hard-rock pegmatite projects that have been painstakingly selected by ILC's technical experts under stringent guidelines. The key outstanding characteristics shared by all the rare metals' projects are their underexplored nature, excellent accessibility, under-analyzed rare metals' history, initial high confidence level that additional exploration will add project value and ultimately the potential to develop the projects to address the global technological growth in demand for the rare metals' suite of elements.Highlighting these rare metals' projects is the Moose property located near the shore of Great Slave Lake in the NWT was a minor lithium and tantalum producer in the 1950's with reported production of 119 tonnes of lithium ore and an estimated 4,409 tonnes of high grade tantalum-niobium ore. The surficial area is disturbed from the historic mining activity with the 2010 exploration program limited as to exposure, however a channel sample returned 1.50 wt% Li2O over 7.5 metres confirming the continuity of high grade lithium across substantial widths within the pegmatite and a muck pile returned 8.44 wt% Li2O indicating that the source pegmatite is highly evolved and underscores the future potential of the property. In support of the untested potential, the historic exploration and mining did not penetrate below the 25 metre mark or extend beyond the local workings."Please, do not forget, that we own stocks we are writing about and have position in these companies.

I've recently moved from Orange County California to San Diego County. I must admit, I love San Diego, I love it so much more than Orange County. There's a lot more options when it comes to going out, restaurants, bars, etc. Most of all, there are tons of bakeries! I've discovered quite a few already and thought it would be fun to snack on their goodies and blog about it!
My most recent discovery was Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen in Vista, CA. Wow, what great cupcakes! Apparently they were contestants on Cupcake Wars and won… yeah, they were that good.
I only got 3 cupcakes because I didn't want to feel like too much of a heffer. After countless minutes of circling the menu and the cupcakes on display, I finally came to my 3 choices(all descriptions courtesy of littlecakeskitchen's site):
Almond Champagne – Sweet almond cake with champagne buttercream and edible pearls.
Chocolate Mint – Chocolate cake topped with chocolate ganache, mint buttercream and crispy chocolate pearls.
Strawberry Milkshake – Moist vanilla cake with a generous swirl of strawberry cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with rainbow sugar.
I highly recommend these cupcakes, if anyone is ever in North County San Diego, make the trip! They had an amazing variety of unique cupcakes. The buttercreams weren't stiff and super sugary like most places, they were very creamy, delicious and perfect. It was obvious that their cupcakes are freshly baked every morning. I'll be back!

Javits Center
New York, New York
"After consulting with ISC attendees, exhibitors, supporters, and Associations to determine what is working and what needs improvement, the consensus was to have the Northeast's largest annual gathering of security professionals go back to its roots. As a result, ISC Solutions will again be known and run as ISC East. Over and over, people familiar with the show told us that 'We don't care what you name it, we call it ISC East," emphasizes Ed Several, senior vice president, ISC Events. "They want it to be the East Coast version of ISC West for all segments of the security channel. They want a place where they can network with peers, meet their customers, see new products, and get relevant education to improve their skills. Therefore, we will be adding the best of ISC West along with some distinctly Northeast features to ISC East.
"The exhibition, to be held October 30-31, 2012, at the Javits Center will feature over 300 exhibitors showcasing new products, technologies and services to a wide range of security professionals. For dealers, installers, integrators, and specifiers, the Event will focus on retro-fitting and updating to increase profits. For end users, achieving business optimization is the main theme. Both concepts will be supported by key exhibitors and free high quality education."

Maggert falters at 17, gets best finish since '06 - 0 Comments
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jeff Maggert will remember one thing about The Players Championship.
Not his water ball on the famed island 17th hole that led to double-bogey Sunday. Not his birdie on 18, just the fifth of the day at the ultra-challenging closing hole. Not even his runner-up finish, the 49-year-old Texan's best showing since winning the 2006 St. Jude Classic.
Five three-putts stood out more than everything else at TPC Sawgrass.

I add Flax Seed to two meals every day. This fills me up quicker and has allowed me to lose a lot of weight.
Hodgson Milled FLAX seed is available at WALMART. No sugar, gluten free, no cholesterol and a good source of fiber with loads of omega 3's. Milled Flax Seed can be used as a fat substitute in most receipes to replace eggs or oil, Make some flax seed muffins, flax bread or a flax smoothie. Receipe are on the box.
Omega 3's lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Excellent sources of omega-3s are salmon, mackerel, and tuna, rainbow trout and sardines. Anchovies too! Walnuts, Almonds, brazil nuts,pumpkin seeds and eggs also a good source
After reading about the health benefits of flax seed, I've started adding ground flax to a lot of foods I prepare for my family.

Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer
RhiannonLos AngelesHairLight BrownCurly HairAmazing Dryer...but No Diffuser AvailableThis dryer gave me incredibly straight, silky, SMOOTH hair in 15 minutes as opposed to 30 minutes for frizzy straight as I was getting with my Conair dryer. However, for $150 to only get a focusing attachment and no diffuser was a dissapointment only furthered when I found out there is NO Sedu diffuser available at this time. Note that the Sedu Finger Diffuser available for $30 DOES NOT FIT THIS dryer, I just found that out from customer service. LOVE this dryer but think it is a HUGE miss not to have a diffuser option.posted Feb 9, 2011Link to this post

However, I fell in love with this dryer. It gives me the perfect blowout. I now look forward to blow dry my hair as before it was a daunting task for me. I also bought Olivia Gardens Nano Thermic round brush and it makes it very easy and fun do it yourself perfect blowout salon quality without the price tag. I highly recommend this hair dryer. Did I mention that it leaves my hair shiny and it takes me less time to dry my hair even on high humidity day? What are you waiting for? Try it today. Professional hair dryer last you for years.

TainaWaterbury, CTHairDark BrownNormal HairOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot Sure What The Fuss Is All About.....I bought this dryer after my T3 crapped out on me after 6 months. I LOVED the T3, it literally cut my drying time in half, too bad the dryer didn't last longer. After reading the reviews for this dryer, I figured let me order it because it is the #1 dryer on the site. Not worth it in my opinion. I have curly hair that I like to wear straight in the winter and when it comes to blow drying my hair, I know I can give the Dominican salons a run for their money with my skills. This dryer just didn't to it for me. It's loud, like really loud and the air is just too much. And it doesn't get that hot, so if you like a hot blower, this is not the one for you. I think the biggest problem was the short barrel. I know some people prefer a smaller hair dryer, but I missed having the extra length on the barrel. I didn't care for the way my hair looked after it was dried - it really felt like straw and I would have frizzy hair by the afternoon. That's a no-no for this one here. I've had cheaper Conair blowers that I've liked more than this one. Lesson learned - just because it costs more money doesn't mean it's better.posted Jan 31, 2011Link to this post
JeannieNew YorkHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairNot Great ResultsThis had such great reviews that I couldn't wait to try it. This absolutely DOES NOT deliver. I am very experienced with blow drying and styling my hair. As a matter of fact I can do it better than the hair salons because I know my naturally curly hair and how to get the most out of it. When I get my hair cut, I bring my dryer and tools and blow it myself. I have had the owner of the salon ask me if I want a job. Seriously
This dryer left my hair flat and I think the problem is that its does not get hot enough for those of use with curly hair who want to blow it straight. It also doesn't allow me to get a good smooth wave or curl when using my round brush.
The best dryer I have ever used that delivers 100% is the Chi Rocket Ion dryer which I purchased from Folica 5 years ago. Though it is still working fabulously for me, its now discontinued so I wanted a really good backup since my Chi is getting on in years. The Chi gets hotter than the Sedu, does not dry out my hair and leaves my hair full of body, shin and style.
Hopefully, since I just received the Sedu, I can return it for another Chi but different model. This was a real disappointment especially since it had such great reviews.posted Jan 29, 2011Link to this post

He that argueth with G-d, let him answer it. 3 Then Job answered HaShem, and said: 4 Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth. 5 Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further. 6 Then HaShem answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me. 8 Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified? 9 Or hast thou an arm like G-d? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him? 10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him. 12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place. 14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body. 17 He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. 18 His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron. 19 He is the beginning of the ways of G-d; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there. 21 He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth. 24 Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare? 25 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord? 26 Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook? 27 Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee? 28 Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever? 29 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 30 Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants? 31 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears? 32 Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more. |

After reading Dr. Perona's comment on the Case Watch article on dual mobility hips, I carefully re-read the manuscript. In it we clearly state that the surgeons involved with managing these two cases chose a "mix-and-match" approach. I basically have no disagreement with Dr. Perona's position, based on the two cases we report, and trust that this manuscript will prompt discussion about appropriate use of the dual mobility technology until we have other information to add to the discussion. I thank him for his comment.
As an orthopedic surgeon who has implanted more than 500 ADM cups, I have concerns with the article that was listed as a "Watches and Warnings" top story. The title, "Early Intraprosthetic Dislocation in Dual-Mobility Implants," insinuates that there is an inert risk with Dual-Mobility implants; however it does not state that the implants were revision cases, and mixed components from different companies directly against the manufacturers' recommendation. The manual as well as the sales representatives strongly discourage the practice of mixing different company components.
Revision surgery for recurrent dislocations in multi-operated patients is a challenging situation no matter which approach is used. Failure of a Dual-Mobility implant in this situation should not condemn the practice, but it should be noted that if the hip dislocates it is very difficult to re-reduce. This fact may discourage the use of a Dual-Mobility cup rather than the fact that it may disassociate. Of all the ADMs I have inserted, I have never seen one disassociate. I feel that these are exceptional cases in which the implant was used for a difficult condition in an unorthodox fashion.

These are non-faculty professional staff members housed in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. They are knowledgeable about the technicalities of UT Dallas program requirements, policies and procedures. Academic advisors help students prepare and update their degree plans, aid in registering for classes and assist in completing various approval forms. They have regularly scheduled hours for drop-in advising.
1. When initially entering the major, you must see an academic advisor to create a degree plan.
2. Before you register each semester, check in with an academic advisor to discuss what classes you plan to take. The advisor can help make sure that you are not missing out on important prerequisite sequences and tell you about last-minute changes in the schedule. Avoid the last-minute rush by seeing an academic advisor before the class schedule is published.
3. Early in your second-to-last semester before graduation (after the schedule is available), you must have an academic advisor complete a Degree Plan Audit before you are "approved" (on the UT Dallas computer system) to file for graduation (see the Application for Graduation Procedures handout). If all has gone well, the audit should clear you to graduate the next semester.

Hi there, I have a original disc of Bomberman World (NTSC-J)... is there a way to bypass the region check on a OFW ps3?
just play it. Ntsc-J work on American ps3's only a pal ps1 game would give you a problem.
That doesn't make any sense.... I remember that the ps2 could play NTSC-J games all the time I wasn't aware that the ps3 couldn't play it. Don't know what to tell you then... unless you buy an American version of the game
Hmm only that gameshark thing for the PSX. For ps2 you would need an actual mod chip to run a ps1 game and for the ps3 you would need a cobra usb dongle
Can I run the PSX Game Shark on PS3?
any gamesharks and simular devices are blocked from working on the ps3, you are best off playing on a modchip ps2 which wil be region free or using a swap disc on a ps2 to play the import, you wont be able to play it any other way and the swap discs for ps1 are really rare now.

Cattle ranchers on Tuesday found a wet, nearly naked man hiding from extreme weather in a guitar case near the town of Muskogee, cold but alive. The man claims he was walking from Gore to Checotah, a distance of over 25 miles, in order to meet a woman. The freezing conditions were not a surprise; the entire state has been on ice since last week. Nevertheless, he set off.
Along the way, he apparently got lost and fell through an icy pond, after which he stripped off his wet and freezing clothes. The man then realized that it can get pretty cold when you're standing in an icy forest in nothing but a pair of soggy boxer shorts, so he logically decided to spend the night in his guitar case.
He was found the next morning by a couple tending their cattle. They called authorities and found the shed clothes, which by then had frozen solid. He was treated and released upon the world to make more questionable decisions.
Ahh, Oklahoma. (Naked Oklahoma Man Found Alive Inside Guitar Case via Gawker)
This is a very interesting story that fails to answer the most important question: Small man or large guitar case?
More like Person of the Decade.
Warms my soul. WE WON, INTERNET! WE WON!

Building Screen Porches, continuedFloor framing. Whether we're building a deck or a porch, we run the floor framing on 12-inch centers. Considering that we always use 2-by decking, that may seem like overkill when 16-inch, or even 24-inch, spacing would be acceptable. But 12-inch centers provide a stiffer platform to build the porch on, particularly if the porch structure is set in from the perimeter of the overall deck framing by several feet. I'd rather not have a cluttered-looking forest of posts and pilings below the deck to support the structure.
The added weight of the 2-by surface material — up to double the dead load of 1-by or 5/4 decking — also makes it advisable to beef up the framing. I run my Trex decking on the diagonal and screw it down at alternating edges to reduce the frequency and appearance of surface fasteners. The closer joist spacing keeps the screw pattern tight. Diagonal decking increases the distance that the board must span between joists, so, again, the closer spacing offsets this effect. And although 16-inch spacing may satisfy the code and my customers might not notice the difference, my floor systems are stiff and rugged — no one has ever complained to me about a springy-feeling deck.
We assemble the pressure-treated porch enclosure system on the deck, using 4x4 uprights to define the openings, a 2x4 bottom plate, and a 1x4 top plate. Our stock black aluminum screening comes in 5x100-foot rolls, so I design the porch with 5-foot-maximum spacing between the upright centerlines. We have a standard 2-8 x 6-9 wooden screen door that we use on nearly every porch. To keep all of the openings at a uniform height around the enclosure, we cut all the uprights equal to the finished height of the door, plus swing clearance. Including the bottom plate, the resulting opening height is 6 feet 11 inches. A 2x4 stretcher at the head of the door opening compensates for the height gain of the bottom plate and provides a backer for the finish trim. On top of the 1x4 top plate, we build a continuous box beam, using a pair of 2x6s flush with the outside of the 3 1/2-inch-wide plate and capped with another 1x4 (Figure 3). We shoot all of these components together in place with 12d galvanized nails. There tends to be some discrepancy between the width of a 4x4 and the width of a 1x4. Because the screening and trim boards will be applied to the exterior face, we're careful to keep all of the framing flush to this plane.
Figure 3. A box beam lintel consisting of 1x4 plates and 2x6 sides caps the 4x4 posts and runs the entire perimeter of the porch enclosure.
The roof configuration depends on the porch design, which is keyed to the style of the home we're working on. One detail that we use on a straight gable roof has become something of a signature for us. We build what I call a flying gable, which, aside from being attractive, has an important function (Figure 4). Water will penetrate only about a foot or so into the porch along the eaves during a rain, but it can penetrate much deeper through a high screened gable. The projecting "prow" of our flying gable provides a deep overhang that keeps the interior space drier.
Figure 4. The author's signature "flying gable" roof helps keep windblown rain out of the porch.
We use treated lumber to frame the roof, too. The rafters rest directly on the 2x6 box beam. If the rafters are to remain exposed on the interior side, we use 5/8-inch T1-11 plywood channel siding, finish face down, to sheathe the roof. The siding provides a finished appearance inside and an adequate nail base for the roofing (it's thick enough to prevent 3/4-inch roofing fasteners from penetrating through to the interior). For a more formal interior, we'll frame a flat ceiling and finish it with clear fir T&G edge-and-center-bead paneling. We give the fir three coats of clear urethane finish, or prime and paint it to match the trim of the existing home — either way, it makes a beautiful ceiling. Roofing. We generally use asphalt shingles on the roof, though occasionally we hire a metal roof specialist to install a standing-seam prefinished metal roof.
Our typical porch railing system consists of a 2x4 sub- and top-rail with 2x2 square balusters. The balusters are beveled at each end and screwed to the wide face of the 2x4s on 4-inch centers. The 2x4 rails are nailed to the inside face of the 4x4 posts, mitered at inside corners. The balusters thus finish up 2 inches inside the outer face of the enclosure (Figure 5). We cap the subrail with a Trex 2x6, notching it fully around the 4x4 uprights. The outer edge of the rail cap ends up flush with the exterior post face. Wider than the 4x4 posts by 2 inches, the 2x6 cap rail overhangs the 2x4 subrail by 1/2 inch on the interior side of the enclosure.
Figure 5. Surface-installed rails and balusters simplify construction and protect the screening from damage by children and pets. Because the screening doesn't contact the railing or balusters, they are barely visible from outside.
An upgrade rail system consists of a colonial profile pressure-treated top-and shoe-rail, installed on-center between posts. The balusters fit into dadoed grooves in the rails.

\"Anti-work essays\"
\"Why do we work? From necessity or love? If the former, then our world is failing us, we are being exploited, being made slaves for the benefit of others. The ethic that work is a \'good thing\' is a throwback to a Victorian mentality of puritanical pain and denial of our humanity, an ethic that is so far removed from the reality of our human nature as to be pathological.\"
A collection of essays written from the anti-work perspective. These essays investigate concepts of freedom, compulsory labor, the \'work ethic\', the wages system, employment, and \'occupations.\'
\"Days of war, nights of love\"
\"Less of a novel and more of an exploded manifesto, Days of War, Nights of Love might be just what we need. It is the type of book you\'d thumb through in the store and actually want to buy (or steal)... Topics range from anarchy to hierarchy, work to sex, alienation to liberation and technology, but every page burns with a passion for a freer life... When you make it to the end, the personal testimonials about not working and the closing art pieces become an aria of voices urging you to close the book and live. Glorious, even for the most cynical reader. What more can we ask from a book?\" - Clamor Magazine #6, Dec.00/Jan.01
\"Emma Goldman essays\"
\"In the eighteen-nineties and for years thereafter, America reverberated with the name of the \'notorious Anarchist,\' feminist, revolutionist and agitator, Emma Goldman. A Russian Jewish immigrant at the age of 17, she moved by her own efforts from seamstress in a clothing factory to internationally known radical lecturer, writer, editor and friend of the oppressed. ...a collection of her remarkably penetrating essays, far in advance of their time, originally published by the Mother Earth press which she founded.\"
\"Thoughts on (the) society of the spectacle\"
\"The whole life of those societies in which modern conditions of production prevail presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. All that once was directly lived has become mere representation.\"
Instead of a direct recording of the text, here a collection of people read some of their favorite aphorisms, and tell stories about how those aphorisms relate to their lives.
\"Against the logic of submission\"
\"Submission to domination is enforced not solely, nor even most significantly, through blatant repression, but rather through subtle manipulations worked into the fabric of everyday social relationships. These manipulations ? ingrained in the social fabric not because domination is everywhere and nowhere, but because the institutions of domination create rules, laws, mores and customs that enforce such manipulations ? create a logic of submission, an often unconscious tendency to justify resignation and subservience in one\'s everyday relations in the world. For this reason, it is necessary for those who are serious about developing an anarchist insurrectional project to confront this tendency wherever it appears ? in their lives, their relationships and the ideas and practices of the struggles in which they participate. Such a confrontation is not a matter of therapy, which itself partakes of the logic of submission, but of defiant refusal.\"
\"The anarchist tension\"
\"Anarchism is not a concept that can be locked up in a word like a gravestone. It is not a political theory. It is a way of conceiving life. And life, young or old as we may be, is not something definitive: it is a stake we must play day after day. When we wake up in the morning and put our feet on the ground we must have a good reason for getting up. If we don\'t it makes no difference whether we are anarchists or not. We might as well stay in bed and sleep.\"
Alfredo M. Bonanno, an Italian anarchist currently serving six years for charges related to the famous \"Marini Trial,\" writes about insurrectionary anarchism.
Permaculture torrent blog has put as goal to spread the word about permaculture, gardening, indigenous people, ecology, capitalism, (alter)globalization and health in form of documentaries, audiobooks, videos, e-books, presentations and videos.

Vishal Gondal, Managing Director of Digital, and Prasad Nair, Executive Producer, Mobile Digital, at Disney UTV talk about the exciting new opportunities they see in the Nokia Asha Touch phones and new tools for Java developers.
Based in Mumbai, India, Indiagames has already achieved 100 million downloads on Nokia Store.
For Gondal 'the new Asha touch devices … could be a game changer for a market like India.' While Nair sees the new 'APIs, like gestures and sensors, (allowing users) to interact with the games in much more entertaining ways than before'. Nair is also impressed by the new Nokia SDK 2.0 for Java. In particular how the tools, such as the emulator's orientation simulator, make developing for the new UI and hardware features found on Nokia Asha Touch phones simple and straightforward.

Pilar Sanders to Cops — Deion's Friend Attacked Me!!!
Pilar Sanders to Cops Pilar Sanders ARRESTED — Deion Sanders' Wife Booked After Domestic Incident [Mug Shot]" href="http://artis-x.com/pilar-sanders-arrested-deion-sanders-wife-booked-after-domestic-incident-mug-shot/">Deion's Friend Attacked Me!!!
Pilar Sanders called cops to Deion's gargantuan Texas mansion yesterday … claiming she was ATTACKED by one of Deion's female friends … while the NFL legend stood by and watched.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Pilar told officers a woman named Laura arrived to the mansion to see Deion … but Pilar told Laura she was not welcome in the home and asked her to leave.
We're told Laura refused … and after some words were exchanged, Laura threw an object at Pilar … striking her in the eye.
Pilar grabbed her phone and called 911 … and told police Deion was present during the altercation, but didn't do ANYTHING to diffuse the situation.
Cops tell TMZ … no arrests were made and the situation is under investigation.
We called Pilar's people and Deion's people for comment — so far no response from either camp.
9:24 AM PT: Pilar's lawyer tells TMZ, "Pilar was taken to the hospital emergency room as a result of the injuries she sustained during the assault."
The lawyer adds, "This is an opportunity for Deion to use his 'Century-21 celebrity status' to set an example as to how to lovingly care for his wife and children during divorce proceedings."

Using Ontological Engineering to Overcome Common AI-ED Problems
This paper discusses long-term prospects of AI-ED research with the aim of giving a clear view of what we need for further promotion of the research from both the AI and ED points of view. An analysis of the current status of AI-ED research is done in the light of intelligence, conceptualization, standardization and theory-awareness. Following this, an ontology-based architecture with appropriate ontologies is proposed. Ontological engineering of IS/ID is next discussed followed by a road map to

Since commercial banks play important roles in the financial markets, it is important to evaluate whether banks operate efficiently. Moreover, given increased competition from non-bank financial institutions, commercial banks should operate more efficiently than they did previously. Commercial banks might operate more efficiently if they have superior information. If this is true, bank size should not matter to the operation of the bank. Thus, as long as the bank has superior information, it wil
Rural Adolescent Perceptions of the Availability and Accessibility of Substance Abuse Treatment
The prevalence of substance abuse among rural adolescents has equaled or surpassed rates in urban youth, but rural substance abusers go untreated at rates twice that of urban populations. Cultural norms adverse to help-seeking, and low availability and accessibility of substance treatment in rural areas may effect treatment utilization. The primary purpose of this study was to assess rural adolescents' substance problem recognition and perceptions of substance abuse treatment availability and

The father-son duo behind Tinsley's Dry Cleaners presents a full menu of dry-cleaning and alterations services. A decade in the stain-solving business has lent their skills a professional touch, which they use to handle fabrics ranging from dress clothes and wedding gowns to Persian rugs and curtains. The drive-thru window at each of the two locations ensures a quick and easy drop-off without forcing clients to leave the car or install a washing machine in their back seat.
Frame Warehouse creates professional, custom picture frames that are designed to protect all kinds of artistic creations and memorabilia while complementing their natural charms. Customers can choose from hundreds of ready-made mats and frames that translate into thousands of frame permutations (tabletop frames average $7–$10), or they can opt for a custom design clipped from the crafty corners of their own minds. All framing products are of the highest quality—barrier papers, dust covers, acid-free products, and five kinds of UV-resistant glasses combine to permanently preserve your masterful fingerpainting from fifth grade or your collection of two-dimensional cross-sections sliced out of the world's skyscrapers. Prices vary widely depending on how the customer navigates the flowchart from frame size to final product, but most jerseys can be framed for less than $200, diplomas for as low as $75, and posters for under $100.
This neighborhood frame shop's skilled staff draws upon 30 years in the business to beautifully border and colorfully capture beloved pieces. Aspiring art-edgers can browse more than 1,000 moldings, including eco-friendly options, and then add mats crafted from a variety of flauntable fabrics. Preservationists can protect precious memories with a selection of conservation materials, which help to extend the life of irreplaceable works plagued by air, dust mites, and frequent polar-bear attacks. Irving Park's experts also offer shadowbox framing to display valued objects such as clothing or sports and military memorabilia. After leaving future wall adornments in Irving Park Art & Frame's capable hands, patrons are invited to view the shop's art gallery, which displays works by local, national, and international artists.
Scan the menu with precision before zeroing in on a taste-bud-blaster such as Ghassan's signature hot sub—the steak and cheese ($4.99 for six-inch, $5.69 for eight-inch), topped with grilled steak and melted provolone and served with chips and a pickle. Diners can expand appetite appeasing by getting either size of the sub with a platter of fries and a salad ($7.29 for six-inch, $7.79 for eight-inch). Treat your cardiopulmonary system to a tasty, beneficial treat with a heart-healthy chicken kebab platter ($6.49), opting for the Lebanese salad instead of the fries in the platter to give your bloodpump an extra high-five, or take in a traditionally delectable gyro ($5.99 for sandwich, $7.89 for platter), with grilled beef and lamb slices on a grilled pita with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade cucumber sauce. Herbivoyeurs can hit the jackpot with hummus on a pita sandwich ($5.29 sandwich, $7.49 platter) or combine all the veggie options with the vegetarian plate ($7.49), which features falafel, hummus, salad, pita bread, and a pickle.
Decked out with new disco lights, Jump-N-Fun's festive facility amuses youngsters with a neighborhood of bounce houses perched atop a vibrantly colored floor. The pass allots kids five opportunities to explore the air-filled obstacle course, double slide, and clubhouse, where tunnels help hone crawling skills and a basketball hoop helps draw early attention from college recruiters. The staff requires rompers to wear socks when dashing around the inflatable infrastructure, and recommends wearing long-sleeved shirts. A fenced-in play area is available for especially tiny tykes.

what is this? something like "fake save data owner" on rebug?
unsigned code on ofw
This was unexpected. Definitely will consider buying and also hope someone reverse engineer's the technique!
So this is simliar to the Action Replay of the PS2? hmm interesting it would be amazng if it could run .elf files etc like the AR did in the good old days lol
it's not actual cheat codes like infinite health, all this does is let you use other peoples saves without cfw this is a godsend for the ps3 community because people will no longer need 2 ps3s or data transfer to transfer save files over, i just hope this works, i want video proof before i hand over my cash, there was a homebrew version similar to what this does but it doesn't work as well, i hope this works better.
what interest me is that it claims it even works with copy protected save files, that is a very high claim to make, how would the user transfer them over to the ps3 is they are copy protected? you certainly won't be able to transfer them to a usb drive and copy them to your ps3, they are nontransferable.
So this simply signs a save game to your profile?
I can see it being useful but will not drive the scene forward if reverse engineered.
if anyone buys the software please do a review so i can decide if it's worth the money or not.
What is needed isnt to reverse the software but rather the method used to boot it. It works on OFW it claims which means that this company has found a way of booting a piece of code on the PS3 that is not signed by sony.

Read Columbus' letters to his Spanish royal patrons. They're absolutely chilling in the way he casually mentions the systematic torture, enslavement and murder of the Arawak people. At one point he complains of a worker shortage due to the native people committing suicide en masse to escape their misery.
What happened to the Native Americans under the coming of the Europeans was nothing short of genocide. So I don't say Columbus "discovered" America, I say he invaded it. |

I've got mixed feelings about it...if it hadn't have been Columbus, it would have been another European explorer soon after, with probably similar results. Columbus didn't entirely understand what he was doing.
And when we look at history, we have to look at it through dual lenses--that of our own understanding and that of the understanding the people actually involved had of the events. Our understanding--and knowledge of all that followed, and all that was lost as a result--is very different from the knowledge and beliefs that Columbus carried with him. It's also very different from that of the people who felt a need to cannonize him historically as a hero; those people were trying to build up a particular kind of story to explain history and legitimize their own actions, and they did so through their beliefs about how the world worked. Recognizing both the honestly-held misconceptions of our ancestors and their mistakes means that we do not have to condemn them entirely to condemn their actions or beliefs. It also means that we can learn from their mistakes and avoid them in the future. Unfortunately, we so rarely do learn from them.

To the victor goes the spoils. It's an ugly realization of life that when a country takes over another they right the books. Ever wonder what history would reflect on Hitler if he won World War II? He proably would of shaped the world to think that he was a great hero that ended a satonic rule of the world by the Jews. But he lost so we believe that he is an inceribly evil individual that is seen as a unholy bastard that committed mass genocide on the Jews and almost pulled the whole world under with himself and his terrible dream for world domination.
To the victors go the spoils of war and history for that matter.

I was compelled to revisit the opening chapter of Howard Zinn's masterful A People's History of the United States; he quotes a passage from Columbus' log: "They [the Arawak people]... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned.... They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane.... They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want." The Indians, Columbus reported, "are so naive and so free with their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe it. When you ask for something they have, they never say no. To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone...." He concluded his report by asking for a little help from their Majesties, and in return he would bring them from his next voyage "as much gold as they need . . . and as many slaves as they ask." He was full of religious talk: "Thus the eternal God, our Lord, gives victory to those who follow His way over apparent impossibilities." Because of Columbus's exaggerated report and promises, his second expedition was given seventeen ships and more than twelve hundred men. The aim was clear: slaves and gold. They went from island to island in the Caribbean, taking Indians as captives. But as word spread of the Europeans' intent they found more and more empty villages. On Haiti, they found that the sailors left behind at Fort Navidad had been killed in a battle with the Indians, after they had roamed the island in gangs looking for gold, taking women and children as slaves for sex and labor. Now, from his base on Haiti, Columbus sent expedition after expedition into the interior. They found no gold fields, but had to fill up the ships returning to Spain with some kind of dividend. In the year 1495, they went on a great slave raid, rounded up fifteen hundred Arawak men, women, and children, put them in pens guarded by Spaniards and dogs, then picked the five hundred best specimens to load onto ships. Of those five hundred, two hundred died en route. The rest arrived alive in Spain and were put up for sale by the archdeacon of the town, who reported that, although the slaves were "naked as the day they were born," they showed "no more embarrassment than animals." Columbus later wrote: "Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold." But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had invested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed. Trying to put together an army of resistance, the Arawaks faced Spaniards who had armor, muskets, swords, horses. When the Spaniards took prisoners they hanged them or burned them to death. Among the Arawaks, mass suicides began, with cassava poison. Infants were killed to save them from the Spaniards. In two years, through murder, mutilation, or suicide, half of the 250,000 Indians on Haiti were dead. When it became clear that there was no gold left, the Indians were taken as slave labor on huge estates, known later as encomiendas. They were worked at a ferocious pace, and died by the thousands. By the year 1515, there were perhaps fifty thousand Indians left. By 1550, there were five hundred. A report of the year 1650 shows none of the original Arawaks or their descendants left on the island. The chief source-and, on many matters the only source-of in formation about what happened on the islands after Columbus came is Bartolome de las Casas, who, as a young priest, participated in the conquest of Cuba. For a time he owned a plantation on which Indian slaves worked, but he gave that up and became a vehement critic of Spanish cruelty. ***** In Book Two of his History of the Indies, Las Casas (who at first urged replacing Indians by black slaves, thinking they were stronger and would survive, but later relented when he saw the effects on blacks) tells about the treatment of the Indians by the Spaniards. It is a unique account and deserves to be quoted at length: "Endless testimonies . . . prove the mild and pacific temperament of the natives.... But our work was to exasperate, ravage, kill, mangle and destroy; small wonder, then, if they tried to kill one of us now and then.... The admiral, it is true, was blind as those who came after him, and he was so anxious to please the King that he committed irreparable crimes against the Indians..." Las Casas tells how the Spaniards "grew more conceited every day" and after a while refused to walk any distance. They "rode the backs of Indians if they were in a hurry" or were carried on hammocks by Indians running in relays. "In this case they also had Indians carry large leaves to shade them from the sun and others to fan them with goose wings." Total control led to total cruelty. The Spaniards "thought nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades." Las Casas tells how "two of these so-called Christians met two Indian boys one day, each carrying a parrot; they took the parrots and for fun beheaded the boys." The Indians' attempts to defend themselves failed. And when they ran off into the hills they were found and killed. So, Las Casas reports. "they suffered and died in the mines and other labors in desperate silence, knowing not a soul in the world to whom they could tun for help." He describes their work in the mines: "... mountains are stripped from top to bottom and bottom to top a thousand times; they dig, split rocks, move stones, and carry dirt on their backs to wash it in the rivers, while those who wash gold stay in the water all the time with their backs bent so constantly it breaks them; and when water invades the mines, the most arduous task of all is to dry the mines by scooping up pansful of water and throwing it up outside.... After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides . . . they ceased to procreate. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and famished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desperation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk . . . and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fertile ... was depopulated.... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write...." When he arrived on Hispaniola in 1508, Las Casas says, "there were 60,000 people living on this island, including the Indians; so that from 1494 to 1508, over three million people had perished from war, slavery, and the mines. Who in future generations will believe this? I myself writing it as a knowledgeable eyewitness can hardly believe it...." Thus began the history, five hundred years ago, of the European invasion of the Indian settlements in the Americas. That beginning, when you read Las Casas-even if his figures are exaggerations (were there 3 million Indians to begin with, as he says, or less than a million, as some historians have calculated, or 8 million as others now believe?) is conquest, slavery, death. When we read the history books given to children in the United States, it all starts with heroic adventure-there is no bloodshed-and Columbus Day is a celebration. |
