'Lovotics' Engineers Attempt to Give Robots the Ability to Love
You can't buy love, but can you engineer it? A project at the National University of Singapore with all kinds of somewhat unsettling implications is trying to create the means for human-robot love by giving robots all the emotional and biological tools that human have.
That means artificial hormones--dopamine, seratonin, oxytocin, endorphin--that ebb and flow based on how the robot is "feeling." It also means psychology, in this case using MRI brain scans to recreate artificial intelligence that creates affection--or a lack therof--towards a human counterpart.
Just as in human relationships, this human-robot love is based on interactions. The robot can become bored, jealous, angry, affectionate, or flat-out happy, all based on how the human object of its desire interacts with it. Most of this interaction takes place through touching--another analog to affectionate human interaction. The robot isn't so cuddly, but give it some puppy love and it will love you back.
But spurn its advances at your own peril. If the chilling conclusion of episode one below is any indication, perhaps this isn't such a great idea. It might just turn out that hell hath no fury like a lovebot scorned.

Humans come in all shapes and sizes and responses. We vary and we vary largely. I do not think this is an issue. Give me a CAN OF SUPE that can communicate with me clearly, attively, ongoingly, intelligently and something I can trust and depend on, yes, I may consider giving up humanity. Soup does a body good.
Of course, I feel an object of this purity and understanding and response is just impossible. Plus, I guess it's the value of choice that makes any real value to anything. I mean, a person chooses to love me or not in any given situation and they respond to me and my own limitations too. They love me for my own imperfections as I love them too.
Love of God for we are born. Love of others as our dear Lord loves us. We are told to live our lives in admiration of our dear Lord and show this this by loving others, sacrifice for others and forgive others. We do this as we love our own dear Lord and show this as proof we love our Dear Lord and Jesus. Our God is of God, Jesus and the Spirit. The spirit is the least spoken about in the modern world. Everyone wishes to hear of Love of God and Love of Jesus and forgivenes..... but the our Dear Holy Spirit is left untaught. Consider good intentions and the end goes wrong. Our Dear Lord feels the spirit of your soul and good intentions, the spirit. But consider asking for forgivness and feeling you receive it and sin again and again. You offend the spirit and loose your salvations. The Holy Spirit knows the truth. You need to live you live correct, love our Dear Lord, be sincere in you repentince. The TRINITY IS REAL! When you ask for forgiveness, be absolute in your attempt to not repeat the sin. Your soul is fighting, FIGHTING for HEAVEN!!!!
I wish I was much more clear in my ideas, thoughts and writings. I do not wish to be wrong or lead anyone in a wrong place. We are all born as individuals with free thinking minds. I know our Dear Lord loves all on this earth. We each are responsible for our own choices. You need to educate yourself, find your way and understand our Dear Lord. I am sorry, if I do not express myself corectly best for you. I say read the bible, but as I say this, it may offect you, since we are a modern society and this word bible and your own culture may have any meanings. I really love you and wish the best for you. I hope you find you way in life. Live you live for love. We are all born on this earth for a short time. My thoughts are to live to Lord my Dear Lord, Love others and forgive and search and hear my dear Lords voice. We are all little small ants, tiny in size and our Dear Lord WISONDOM, LOVE and SOUND is so BIG. The reality is, he created us humans and we need to learn humilty; to really understand how small we are in the cosmos. I am ok with science. But I also know what science is too, it it just a wonderful description as us humans descripibe the painting of our Dear Lord has made. We are all so tiny and yet we as individuals are so important; we are LOVED!

Wow, that is a nice built up man. Don't get me wrong, I think Jesus is the man, but in this case you might be a bit mistaken. If God did not want us to create artificial intelligent life, He would actually find a way to prevent it. I think this is just another test, because yes my friends the human race can never have enough tests, of the integrity of our faith. In the old days as it was clearly written in the old testament we had to fight with giants, the new era is bringing us evil encapsulated into steel.
Just like technology and science is advancing, the evils we have to confront need a new technological face. How can we claim to be faithful to a God who does not constantly provide new innovative tests for us. These researchers from the NUS Lab(maybe a lab run by the devil?) they are actually doing the Lord's work without even realizing it. Soldiers of God, producing the next instruments of apocalypse, only to be crushed by the Angels of Light once again. Fear not my friend BubbaGump, even though lovotics might seem like a tool of the devil, is actually the next stepping stone in our Lord's plan for total domination. I would not be surprised of we hear in the news tomorrow that the little cute robot has actually turned against its creator and roasted him to hell.
May the light always shine upon you and keep our bright young researchers in the dark.
@Arxidas "...If God did not want us to create artificial intelligent life, He would actually find a way to prevent it...." if you really follow you own logic, this would make our Dear Lord responsible for every bad thing that has ever happen in life, simply because he could of prevented it and did not. I do NOT agree with your logic, sorry. Our Dear Lord gave us all "FREE WILL" and yes we are responsible for our own actions and choices. But, I do agree with the idea, our Dear Lord has a plan and has a plan for all of us.
*FACEPALM* 7 posts... really?
If we are made in God's image, and we create life on our own all the time (my wife might scream "oh god" but it's not him doing the work), and we were given free will, and Jesus died on the cross to wash away all our sins... If sex feels good, because God made it feel good, why is it bad? If we are born nude, being nude is bad? Why is anything that the church can't control bad? I'm sorry, but, why does religion, most of them, constantly fight with science? If God was real, then wouldn't religion be working WITH science to prove the existance? It seems that, when you have something to hide, you oppose. And all I see from most religions is opposition to scientific advancements. Why? in my opinion, it's because the church is losing the grip it's had over the population that it's maintained for 2 thousand years. Why does the Vatican hide art? Hide portions of the bible that were removed? Hide information that is contrary to what they want? If you think that Jesus, didn't have a wife and kids, then you are daft. Jesus was a man, he existed, he might even of had great ideas, but he was a human none the less. If you believe that Mary was a virgin... why were they on the run? What were they hiding from? Why are their NO stories about Jesus as a child, teen, young adult? Why does it go right from birth to his last few years?
I see NOTHING about the article that would start anyone on the "religious" bs. If they can figure out how to make AI feel sensation as well as emotion, than we are better off! AI with no emotion is dangerous...
I'm not saying there is no "god" but I think that we have long lost what that term was supposed to mean, and that people, in greed, looking for control, created this "watch dog" were everything was seen and heard and only if you were good did you escape punishment. Why can't "god" be the alien or aliens that saw a buding planet and decided to speed it along? or what if we are what's left over from another race that was going exstinct? What would happen if we start terraforming Mars, find out that there is martian bacteria that is now mutating with earth bacteria? Didn't we just then create a new race? What if 100,000 years from now, mars has intelligent life again, humans are long since dead, but "stories" of a supreme being that created them still float around? It's not that far of a stretch.. but for some reason.. those religious amoung us can't think outside of the box that has been built for them to see that. Why can't you even just entertain the idea that you MIGHT be wrong? I've never seen such a stubborn bunch of folks. It's annoying.

self aware emotional robots....o yea, excellent idea...ever had a stalker exgirlfriend? what happens when these get a virus? a bug? glitches make them crabby bitches!! laptop with PMS? bipolar factory robots? pleasure bots with jelousy and paranoia? seriously concerned....teach them love hate anger, fine but teach them morals. what happens when the computers discover religion?? does an AI have a soul? this question alone could put the self aware computers in a revolt. we see everyday what happens when humans clash over religion beliefs, imagine what will happens we through in robotic religions. apple vs windows could be a literal war. certainly the next few decades will be interesting.
@beefymclovin: I'm pretty sure my ex-girlfriend having a virus is the reason she's my ex...
And no matter how sentient robots get, or no matter how many sentient life forms we find out in space, humans will always be egotistical enough to maintain that WE are God's chosen children. Religion is about ignorance, egotism, and power, plain and simple.
@Sweepya, As for as understand the definition of "Preaching" is like someone standing at a podium speaking and the listening group is force to listen and not respond. So, I do not think I am preaching and you are perfectly able to respond to me. I am certainly not the all knowing. My opinions come from inside myself. I am not telling you or anyone else how to believe. I did recommend to others read the bible for finding their own way. I certainly do not want to lead anyone with the wrong ideas. Have you ever considered in this world how many varieties of religions there are with all the many cultures? I am come to one conclusion from this, we are all human, different, and unique and so we understand and hear things uniquely special in our own way with our own understanding. Now here is the really interesting part, billions of us in the world come to the same conclusion there is a GOD whispering in our hearts and mind. NOW THAT IS SO WONDERFUL, YES!!!!!! Often in science they like to say, give me the proof there is GOD; pull out a piece of fact and say here is GOD. But on the other hand, we have the whole world hearing and feeling, sensing a presense of GOD, individually. This I say is proof in itself. AMAZING!!
Here is a obvious silly question. What is the point of science. I believe to better understand life around us and to make our lives better, i.e., better house, better medicine, better cars, better electronics, etc. So how does science help me 150, 200, 300, 500 or a 1000 years in the future or forever in the future. For some who really depend on the practicality of science and can not see no further, they see their own bodies decaying, worms, and bacteria and they fade back into the earth. So what if GOD is real and your recieve simuliar as a mirror exactly what you believe in. They you will decay and be no more, the end. But if you do believe in GOD and search to know him better, they you have a future farther than 150 years to forever!
I really don't want to get into an argument over science or religion, but I would like to question whether or not this robot actually has any semblance of A.I. or if it activates various behavior programs based on if it detects touch or sound, essentially are these "lovotic" researchers claiming to have primitive A.I. for emotion or is it a fancy "press red button for anger, press blue button for love".
Although @arxidas: the train of thought your following is called manifest destiny, it basically means that whatever has happened is what God wants to have happened, so if your winning a war it is a righteous war. Bad idea to use that method of thought, rather destructive toward morality.
Although I'd like to hear some responses to this argument for God, and see what you guys think
Every cause must have an effect, for this second to exist there must have been one before it, for a house to exist a planner must have designed it. so, everything in existence is an effect of a previous cause. If this is true, and, being of a scientific mind, you accept there can not be an effect without a cause, then the idea of a start of the universe runs into a problem, the only logical solution to this problem without accepting supernatural causes is to assume there is no beginning and there is no end to the universe. If you trust in the Big Bang theory, you have two supernatural choices for solving this problem
1. that the Big Bang WAS a cause without and effect.
2. that a being of perfect completeness was the cause and as a being of perfection, existed without a cause because he IS the ultimate cause.
If you guys wanna have some philosophical fun I'd like to hear some arguments against this or for it and please point out any chinks in my armor so I can fix them.

@codezero REALLY? it will only take 100,000 years for bacteria to evolve into intelligent life? Can I get some of what you're smoking please?
@boka Kurzweil is a misguided and sad soul, his own mortality is what drives him, and it's selfish. I quote Bob Marley "If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth"
He was speaking to religious zealots, praying for an afterlife, but I think it applies to the new religion of singularity as well.
Kurzweil says that by the year 2023 computers will finally pass us in terms of operations per second, finally the core intelligence will be there to create A.I. But I guarantee these robots will not be able to feel emotions or comprehend what they are...it will be programmed intro them. It's a loss cause.
Singularity is the lazy man's way to enlightenment and it will rob humanity for the chance to evolve into "homo cosmos" or higher beings by coupling us (nature's perfection) with outdated chips, turning humanity into a race of robot slaves. I have outlined a negative outcome of singularity, so be careful what you wish for.
Just a side note...sci-fi has always attempted to give robots human emotions Eg.Data. This is because of their "singularity" obsession. But they have realized that robots will NEVER possess human emotion, intuition etc. So that's why you are now seeing humans being desensitized, to make them more robot like. Singularity equals devolution of the human race, into a race of hive minded borg slaves.
And their only selling point for this agenda is that "you'll live forever". How sick is that? The world is apparently overpopulated. So this technology should be given to everyone so they can live and pollute forever?
Bubba, your ignorance is hard on the mind. I don't feel as though I should have to dig to the bottom of my thought barrel to draw out an argument of intricacy so you can understand your own irrational mind. You have obviously never read the bible if you recommend it to people who seek life guidance and immorality. As it is only literature of prejudice, discrimination, logical fallacies and dependency. I, as an atheist, actually value this life. In turn, I cherish science. It has furnished the very computer you type on, the phones you speak with your family on, the medical tools that will keep you alive, and the understanding of your possible mental illness, so you can get over it.
God exists because people feel pain. Humans live because of pleasure. We, unlike other animals, possess imagination. Because of that we can imagine pleasures of life after death. So we created the after life. God is no longer, the observer, but rather the God of the gaps. He explains those things that we cannot yet understand but as soon as we do, his definition moves on to some other great and perplexing conundrum. The bronze age is a perfect example.
People use God and the afterlife as their purpose, when it's not purpose they desire. Because purpose is all around us. All children, wives, husbands, work, science, you name it. It's recognition that people need. So we built God. And he just so happens to hate all of the things we do, and gives us all of the things we want. There is no proof of God, every miracle explainable, every historical claim never to exist. Jesus did not live. Your God is you. That voice in your head is your own corruptions and limitations.
Aldrons- You are obviously just as delusional as bubba if you think that being able to live forever wouldn't be just dandy. I myself would love to have synthetic organs. What is even daringly sick about that? Do you not use medication or if you were to break your neck not desire a neck brace? We are only limited in our ways, you have a conservative though style that seems to be afraid of progress. Let me guess, not a fan of invitro fertilization or genetic altercation in the face of disability? Tragic, maybe you have never faced weakness or inferiority. Not until now, at least.;)
Overpopulation is not a problem in every area of the world. Just certain locations. With tech development comes space exploration possibilities. With synthetic organs, we may not even require the same atmospheric requirements, nanotechnology especially.
Try to keep an open mind.
@Sweepya just a "thought", I'm speaking of the singularity, the point at which A.I becomes greater than human intelligence, and there will be continued exponential growth after that point. At which point man will merge with machines, after that point biology might be obsolete. There's a difference between this and an organ transplants.
I wouldn't want to live forever. I'm quite content with my species. Maybe I'll change my tune when I'm older.
In nature fear,anger,envy are emotions that are needed for survival, not love. What happens when these super humans decide that love and morality is obsolete...and natures law is the supreme rule.
I have an open mind, just outlining some negative aspects of the singularity.
Love is just as necessary as fear. Love is simply positive emotion that comes with an association of a person. All of these emotions, evolutionary. Rather, "necessary". It allows a "peaceful" nature and cooperation with positive reinforcement among animals.
I read a book called "Science fiction philosophy" that addressed all issues correlated with singularity. Such as, man putting AI to slave-work, treating them poorly and unfavorably in extreme conditions while ignoring the AI's potential to learn and adapt. All these issues have been addressed in Sci-Fi movies alike. However, unleashing the ability behind a human mind excites me. To be limitless and unbound by the biological weights that mask our potential. When giving a robot the ability to learn and adapt, the ability of a human, it abides by the same laws and morality that govern us. I believe we would fear robots no ore than strong individuals who pass us on the street. If they be treated with indiscriminate law and allowance, what is their to fear? If you give a robot the abilities of adaption and learning potential along with emotions, you better be ready to create something as valuable as human life. Otherwise, we shouldn't be creating this ability. It would be genocide, just like you say.
@ Aldrons Last Hope, first off, forgot a set of zeros, but it doesn't really matter, it's not like we actually know what will happen in 100,000 years or 100,000,000 years on another planet. Secondly, according to the religious, the whole expanse of the universe we know is only around 6,000 years old. Guess those Dinosaurs we've carbon dated to more than a million years ago didn't know this.
Bottom line, the Bible has more holes than a sponge and is as vague as it is flawed. Seriously, grab the nearest bible, and read the first two pages. And then tell me there isn't some serious issues there.
Why is it that those who wrote the bible were "puppets of god" but anyone today that says god is telling them to do things is locked up for being crazy?
Kurzweil has it right with his idea of the singularity, it doesn't however, take into account a few limiting factors. Religion and religious figures slowing or stoping research and products needed to continue the curve. Greed, the companies that are holding back tech because they are trying to ensure not only a return on investment, but a profit, this further degrades the speed of advancement. Politics, this runs in line with religion, people don't want to stir the pot, they don't want to cause an outrage, so if the public can't accept it, they hold off either on production of said device, or in the military's case, on announcement of the tech. If these factors were removed and tech were allowed to advance unhindered, Kurzweil's prediction would be spot on. His idea however is still correct, albeit his timeline is distrubed by these limiting factors.
The real bottom line is, those that use the religious crutch will never, ever, accept that there is no god, even if unrefutable proof is provided. They will never concede that they were incorrect. Those with a scientific mind, will accept a god if proven. They will concede. However those that have to jump onto every single scientific topic and ramble god this, god that, are just a waste of resources.

Speculation is rife that Apple is going to unveil iPad 3 at a media event on March 7. Recent evidence might just support this claim. According to Apple Pro, Foxconn might have already started shipping iPad 3′s to U.S. As per the shipping manifests uncovered, several shipments are being done from Chengdu International airport in China. This is the closest airport to Foxconn's iPad factory and as per the paperwork, the cargo deliveries are bound for Chicago, New York and Los Angeles airports.
Analysts have got the documents cross-checked by a native speaker. Though the documents make no mention of iPad 3 or Foxconn, they detail many shipments from 26th February until 9th March and have specific instructions to keep the stock under highest security during transit. According to them, the owner has extreme requirements and does not want cargo to be on the airport ramp for too long. Sounds definitely Apple-like requirements!
Another simultaneous development adds more credibility to this rumor. On Sunday, Best Buy announced a discount of $50 on all models of iPad 2. No surprises in connecting the dots that this move is to clear the iPad 2 inventories before the grand release of iPad 3. If these shipment dates are indeed related to Apple and iPad 3 is unveiled on March 7th, then iPad 3 might be available in stores almost immediately.

The J-CAD buoys drift with the ice pack, collecting navigational, atmospheric, and oceanographic measurements, and transmitting the data via satellite. Since 2000, investigators have been conducting operations of the J-CADs to measure the structure of upper-ocean currents and water properties under the multi-year ice of the Arctic Ocean for a better understanding of the role the Arctic Ocean plays in global climate. This data set contains measurements from J-CAD buoys 1, 3, and 4, from years 2000-2002. For each buoy it takes approximately one year to drift throught the Arctic Ocean, pass through Fram Strait into the Greenland Sea, and reach the ice edge, where transmission ceases. This research was funded by the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Program, grant number OPP-9910305.

Do the components and capabilities of an in-circuit tester justify the investment? In-circuit test has always been a major purchase decision for manufacturers. System costs range from $100,000 for a basic configuration to more than half a million dollars for a full configuration, high-node-count system. Is it worth the investment?
Testhead module. The testhead module holds one of the most important parts of the ICT system, consisting of the following (Figures 2 and 3):
ICT pin card. The ICT hybrid pin card provides analog, digital and functional test capabilities. The split digital driver and receiver design controls efficient use of the resources, where it permits a single channel to drive a pin and receive on a separate pin. Each digital driver and receiver pin consists of programmable slew rate, voltage level, edge placement, shorts threshold, clock generation, event triggering and switchable pull-up or pull-down capabilities. These permit various testing options, from simple to complex devices and circuitry on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBs).

Thanks to scholarships, grants, loans and work-study, there are many ways to make your Claflin education affordable. Our financial aid staff will work closely with you to explore all of the funding resources available. Our goal is to ensure that every student receives our best comprehensive offer of financial assistance and that your affordable investment in a Claflin education becomes a reality.
The first step is to apply to Claflin. The other extremely important step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, after January 1 of your senior year in high school.

So complete that FAFSA! Other important sources of help include our Claflin scholarships, outside scholarships and federal work-study. It's all itemized in our handy checklist. We've also provided calculators so you can quickly get a rough snapshot of your options.

why does every guide around talk about diskless clients? I mean...disks are stinkin cheap nowadays... I have ~$150,000 to make a test cluster (with WAY more if the test cluster shows worth) but the boss-man wants to go with nodes which aren't exactly "commodity" in my book. dual p3-1000 with 1.25Gb ram, 15krpm 18Gb drives. The things cost $8k+ each...tried to explain that 148 $1k machines would way out perform 16 $8k machines, but...oh well. These boxes take up 1u, which seems to be their main selling point (HP's lp1000r). Fortunately, these boxes are down to $6.5k now in cost (dropped a bit since we bought them a couple months back), but still... on to my point. Getting PVM to see everyone as one happy little family was easy enough. Got the network guys to isolate the little guys, so that only the worldly node could see them, since I wasn't happy with opening up everything and simply putting a little all:all in hosts.deny, and having that be all the security I had. But every guide that I've found has been all about diskless nodes for a beowulf. And this isn't really a beowulf with just pvm (and soon lam-mpi and mpich), right? I personally thought that the network nfs/tftp traffic would be horrible if they were all diskless clients... so the real question: I can put gig-e cards in the boxes instead of hard drives...right now they just have 2 100bt enet connections. I'm only using one of the enet ports at the moment, too. Would I be better with no disks, and gig-e instead? Some of the concerns I have here: though we're only starting with a hundred gigs or such of data, we'll be at multi-terabyte within a year. To be throwing around data that large, while nfs'ing the OS filesystems (on the clients) just seems like a lot for the boxes to do. Am I looking at it wrong? Also, for cost reasons we may be doing our data storage on something as tacky as network attached storage; we were looking at some NetApp boxes, but went with some EMC boxes instead. Note I'm not talking about a symmetrix box or something (I already have one of those housing my oracle data), but instead a EMC product called an "ip4700." Not all that impressed with it. Just a little genetics research firm, needing some serious horsepower to start running big hammer and blast jobs. The data we have now is just the bare minimum we need to get by, but if we had things like a working beowulf the scientists upstairs would start making, since they'd be able to use it, much more data. They hired me on as the unix guy here knowing I don't know squat about beowulfs, but that I really want to learn :) Got "how to build a beowulf" <grin> and I've read the manuals for pvm, mpich, lam-mpi, etc, and several other beowulf how-to guides. All are about diskless. Is diskless better? Is it just better because its cheaper? Are there other reasons its better? Would having gig-ethernet in the boxes instead of hard drives be far better performance-wise? Brian LaMere Diversa

When our oved ones are away we have to hold on to our memories. Are there any special days that you replay? For me there are too many. I dont think of one day but all the little things I miss. I miss running and jumping into his arms everyday after work. One day that sticks out in my head is when we got our favorite chipotle and golden spoon and went down to Dana Point to watch Dexter at the beach. People probably thought we were crazy but we just layed on a blanket and watched Dexter. Then after we just layed there laughing in the sun and wrestling, again probably looking crazy.
The day of Marine Corps Ball in 2010, was an amazing night, after the party we spend hours lookin into eachother eyes in silence. I fell in love completely that night of him. Was that night of our real Kiss our first real kiss :D
for me, it would be his last day here. we (daughter, him, myself) went out to dinner, than to walmart. The baby and I went running through the store to buy a card, a stuffed animal, and a stamp pad. we put her hand print in the card, and the animal looked like a parent sheep holding a lamb. He was really happy. Natalie even used a pen and 'signed' a card. Her daddy really loved the handprint in the card.
We have been together for over 20 years, we have had so many wonderful memories! I would say the day that is currently in my head was the day he came home from his deployment.
our wedding day on March 1st, 2012 :) I flew down to Pensacola that morning. We reunited and had one of the most amazing hugs I could have imagined. We got married later on that afternoon. It was such a gorgeous day out & we both had so many emotions. Definitely one of the best days we've ever had :)
So many to think about! It's crazy because we've shared some amazing memories with each other. Like when we first met, he made me dinner and we just talked for hours, watched a movie and snuggled. The next day we climbed up a mountain and he just broke down and was so open with me. But the moments that touch me the most are actually when we are apart. We're able to really express our feelings knowing that we cannot wait to see each other again. So my favorite moment was when I had 3 missed calls from him and I luckily answered the 4th right before his convoy and he said "Hey, I just have to remind you about a few things before I leave" So I thought they were things I had to do with our dog or around the house and he says "Do you have a pen & paper? okay.. 1. I miss you and I love you, 2. You are so beautiful and 3. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you" it made my heart smile. :)
I would say our best day..was his family day on Parris Island..after not seeing him for 3 months..I ran and jumped into his arms..and every doubt i ever had melted away. He told me how much he loved me and how my letters got him through bootcamp :) it was something I'll never forget. Both our families were there. It was a perfect gorgeous day and I'll never forget it
Every day is an awesome day, but the very best day was when he came back from deployment.
We were friends in high school but we never were an item... because I was his best friend's girlfriend. We fell out of contact and, seven years later, he started talking to me again on Facebook, while deployed. We struck it off amazingly and I didn't let the distance deter me from being his girlfriend (now wife!).
When he came back it was the best day ever. I jumped up and RAN to where he got off the escalator at the airport and started hugging him and he still thinks it's hilarious and sweet looking back on it. It was my first time seeing him in person since high school... it was a day I won't ever forget :)
My Marine and I went to middle school together. And we reconnected during his deployment and haven't seen each other yet, but the MC ball is in 19 days and I WILL SEE HIM! YAY! But there are two memories... one was in 8th grade, a mutual friend convinced us to slow dance and he was SO NERVOUS his hands were 200 degrees and sweaty and he looked like he was gonna pass out. And then the second was the first time I saw him cry talking about the deployment on skype. That was the moment I fell in love with him.
For me it was the suprising day of December 16th when he was suprisingly sent home DURING basic training for Christmas. I never in my life have i felt such a overwhelming feeling of being with someone i love. I never didnt realize how much i was suffering with him being gone until he came home. I struggled so much not having him home to listen to his voice every night. I thank God i was given that opportunity to spend those three weeks with him . We experienced so many different emotions and grew alot closer. I love my soldier ! <3
I honestly cant pick ONE favorite day... Ive been friends with Nick for the past 12 years. Every day I have ever spent with him is my favorite, for different reasons.
One of my most recent favorite days with him, was the day before he left. Him and his sister came and picked me up, We went and got pizza ( i think we got pizza... I might be wrong), then went back to his house. We hung out with his sister and his mom until we left. We went to Portland with his step dad for the night... We ended up getting our own room at the hotel. We stayed up until about two am.
We talked about music, and friends, and everything. It was the best.
The next morning, not so much. Had to wake up at four am, to be at the airport at 530. & I watched him walk away... And cried the whole two hours home. <3
It's really hard to pick just one. The day we met in person really stands out. A guy I grew up with was in his unit and they were deployed together, so he "introduced" us via Facebook. We spent 3 months skyping and he wanted me to be there when his unit returned. I was having a panic attack the whole drive to the base because I was so nervous, but when I saw him and hugged him and kissed him for the first time, it felt so natural and easy. It was like I'd known him and loved him my whole life.
But since being together...my favorite day is probably the last date we had in NC before he PCS'd. Our favorite restaurant is an expensive Brazilian steakhouse, and I wanted to take him there before he left. I had just bought a new little black dress and without even asking him, he dressed up too. So we went to this really expensive restaurant and even bought a bottle of delicious Sangria. The way he kept looking at me, even if he didn't say anything, his eyes were so full of love. He even teared up a little when he said he was going to miss me. The night was perfect.
I can think of a thousand best days with him, but one of the very best was the day he proposed :)
We were at his family's thanksgiving and I had no idea it was going to happen :)
One of his cousins said everyone please look to the middle of the room and he took my hand and lead me into the middle of the circle that had formed. He got down on one knee and told me all the things he loved about me and asked me to marry him :)
It was one of the most amazing moments <3

She is also the voice of Bea in Disney Channel's animated comedy series, Fish Hooks. Chelsea recently starred as Stella Malone, the longtime friend and style guru to the Lucas brothers in the Disney Channel comedy series, JONAS.

Best drill bits
For anything over 1/2" diameter, the best bit may not be a bit at all, but rather an annular cutter. They are usually associated with mag drills because of the 3/4" chuck requirement, but I have a set of minicutters with an adapter that allows them to be used with a 3/8" chuck.
These cutters are three times faster, produce half as much shaving, do not "grab" when coming out the other side of the material, and can be used to overlap an existing hole. Cost is about the same as the equivilent drill size and can be re-sharpened. These are all I use anymore for 1/2" to 1 1/4" holes. (The design does not allow for smaller diameters.)
Only drawback as far as I have found is that they must be used in a press. The tooth design is not meant for freehand in a handheld drill.
My supplier is magneticdrilldirect.com and their prices and service have been excellent.

I have a set of bits for about 15 years, broke one or 2 sharpened them all once when i got my drill doctor. If you use them right they last a long time. Much shorter in a production environment i know but they can be made to last if your patient but sometime speed counts.

Thanks for all your advice. I went to my shop and sharpened my bits instead of getting new ones. I was careful with the angle using a stationary belt sander with a fine grit. I slowed the speed down on my drill press and cut through a piece of 1/2 '' steel like nothing with a 1/4 '' bit.. A bit that I had baught in 1992 and until today would have barely gone through wood.
Thanks again ....JC

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I enjoyed this BB cream. Good amount of coverage and great amount of sunscreen. I will definitely purchase this product.
I love this product! I had to order the full size. It really helps to even out my skin tone, and is perfect on its own for days I don't feel like putting on much makeup.
This BB cream worked very well. It was slightly darker for my skin tone, but worked well for the summer. It provided a medium coverage and a slight glow to it. I have combination skin and get very oily in my T zone and this BB cream held up pretty well. I used it by itself with a small dusting of setting powder over and continued with the rest of my make up. I found if I used it with a foundation as well, it was too much. It was too 'cakey'. Its lasting power lasted all day as well. As i mentioned, I used this product over the summer and it never melted off and needed to be touched up a lot.
I bought this after the sample came in my birchbox, and I loved it. I'm actually buying it again. It's enough coverage to wear without make-up, and makes my skin really smooth. I have sensitive skin, and this is great. I only wish it had SPF.
I love this product so much. I have super sensitive skin. I have tried every line of product imaginable. I have finally found a makeup product that does not make my skin flare up. In fact, it helps clear it up.
This has been one of my favorite BB Creams that I have used. It goes on very smoothly, is light, and does not clog pores.
I use Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow everyday! It makes my skin look golden and smooth. I never feel like this product goes on heavy and it always makes any of my imperfections disappear without a trace!
This is the best BB Cream I've tried and lately I've tried a lot of them. It's full coverage, not too thick - not too thin. The color is great for my olive skin in the summer and even in the winter! Think I might purchase the full size
love love love! so smooth and i like when you put it on it has nice coverage yet a gold tint to make your face truly glow. amzing product worth the but! i am in love and its so easy to apply when your on the go get some color and spf!
As a recent convert to BB Creams and huge fan of the Boscia brand, I was hesitant to try Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow, but the concept sounded like a great alternative for the winter season when my skin is automatically flat and boring. It covers well and does indeed impart a glow without being obvious about it.

My friend Gomer Pyle would say, "surprise, surprise, surprise".
"Frenzied?" Not exactly. "Frenzied" would be liberals elbowing each other to get to their lattes at Starbucks.Or their brie at Whole Foods.
´´fearful´´ ´´frenzied´´ ´´swarm´´interesting choice of words. perhaps calculated to make all the crazy gun buyers appear, well, crazy???
Just returned from a gun show in Central Florida, place was packed wall to wall, but I saw no frenzie, just polite and well mannered folks picking up "supplies" in an orderly fashion. No news here!
"Frenzied" = potential Adam Lanzas.Per #2, frenzied would also be blacks beating each other up to get the latest Air Jordans.
I was in Red´s yesterday with a friend, it wasn´t frenzied but busy. Great store, I picked up 1000 rounds of 9mm for $225. Had plenty of guns, you know, the kinds that could look like an assault rifle if they were decked out differently. Handgun sales seemed brisk.In Idaho, you can buy a handgun and after filling out a little paperwork, walk out the door with your new toy. The hold up for some folks was the background check. The wait on the phone was getting up to an hour. But if you have a CCP, no background check, already done, so it´s pay and out the door.The ranges were plenty busy with everyone trying out new Christmas toys. Had to wait to get into one of the traps so my friend could try out her new shotgun that her hubby gave her. Grand fun.
This must have a "chilling effect" (tm) on libs...
Added a Mossberg shotgun to my collection on Thursday. Lots of calm people in the store. Lots of calm people quietly buying. Didn´t see any frenzy.
I bought something to shoot with -- a new camera. It will be useful in exotic lands where I´ll be when the complete collapse of society happens here in the USA.
The only ones "frenzied" are the fruitcake ass-press. The only "swarms" are the fruitcake ass-press.The only agenda-driven sissy maniacs are the ass-press. The only people who LIE to us on a daily basis are the ass-press. Sorry, Pisani, we dont buy into your crappy lies and ridiculously lousy reporting anymore, so stuff it somewhere where it makes you feel good. Twerp!
Thanksgiving weekend I bought a pre-owned 12 gauge at Cabela´s. It was similar to the first new shotgun I had as a young boy of 14. The place was jammed with people, and I waited in line about an hour to pick up the weapon following the background check. Everyone was polite, patient and well-mannered. I chatted amiably and pleasantly with a couple of other gun buyers who were also waiting for completion of the background check. Didn´t notice any "frenzy."Liberals are unquestionably the most disgusting people I´ve ever known.
No 11, your last line says it all.....
Hurray for Reds Trading Post! The feds tried to shut them down a few years ago. Now it looks like they´ll continue to make a decent profit.Obama has been the best firearm salesman ever.

Braves to retire Glavine's No. 47
Posted by GameSetMatch on 11th May 2010
Tom Glavine thought of his rocky first full season with the Atlanta Braves when the team announced Tuesday it will retire his number.
Glavine's highlights with the Braves included two NL Cy Young awards and the decisive win over the Cleveland Indians in the 1995 World Series.
Before he enjoyed five seasons with 20 or more wins with Atlanta, Glavine went 7-17 in 1988. He says at that point there was no way he could know his No. 47 would one day be retired by the team.
"It's not something you ever envisioned and not something I ever envisioned, certainly with the way my career started in Atlanta," Glavine told The Associated Press.
The Braves will induct Glavine into the team's Hall of Fame and retire his number on Aug. 6 before a home game against the San Francisco Giants.

text: I have bought Acerbis plastics for both a 2006 CRF250x and an 2000 RM250. Both sets made the bikes look new and were perfect fits in both cases. The only thing I noticed about the plastic during installation was it felt more rigid than factory which leads me to believe that the plastic will break easier. So far nothing has broken and my son and I tend to crash more than our fair share

The AVH (American Veterinary Homeopathy Association) is having its annual conference.
This year it is being held in our nation's capital, Washington DC during the height of the cherry blossom season, the most phenomenal time of year to enjoy the city and all the sights and historical places there are to visit.
We have a great line-up this year, including the founder of the AVH, Dr. Richard Pitcairn, who will be speaking among other things about quantum physics and its implication on the validity on modern medicine.
We have past-president Dr. Shelley Epstein, who is a fount of knowledge, speaking about evidence based medicine, discussing the research supporting the science and efficacy of homeopathic medicine, a theme that has become very dear to her. After this lecture, we will have the tools to answer those skeptics who say there is no proof homeopathy works.
Dr. Patricia Jordan, author of Mark of the Beast, Hidden in Plain Sight, will be discussing vaccinosis, historically, clinically, and the full truth of what really has been going on with the pharmaceutical companies, everything they don't want us to know.
There will be lectures on hyperthyroidism, masticatory miositis, and much more.
We of the AVH hope that many of you can cross the pond, and come over and enjoy our conference our city and our friendship. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

49cc, 3bhp, 30mph, Insurance group
Here's a bike to make any 16-year-old's visor steam up: the 500 cc supermoto-styled SM50, made in Taiwan and exclusively branded 'WK' in the UK. WK has been set-up by the same UK company who are behind Quadzilla Quads, who've been in the learner-legal quad market for over 10 years.
124cc, 13bhp, 68mph, Insurance group
A very decent sporty 125 with great equipment and good handling that's let down by an inflated price tag. Those that need a cheap runaround will opt for a Chinese-made budget equivalent, while performance obsessed young 'uns will go for the pricier CBR125R or a YZF-R125. If you find yourself in possession of a KR Sport or can nab a ...
125cc, 9bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.
125cc, bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes. It's a stylish and perfectly adequate town run-around - the only drawback is a slightly lacklustre engine.
125cc, 11.1bhp, 70mph, Insurance group
The new Honda PCX125 scooter is the first ever two-wheeler to feature a fuel-saving idle stop system. Whether you think it's a gimmick or a revolution, fact is the PCX125 is a brilliant little scooter in its own right and ticks all the boxes in terms of style, performance and practicality.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
124cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Classy styling, nice attention to detail and a list of handy well thought-out features make the Vivacity 125 look like a charming city commuter package. Overall it strikes a tempting balance between quality and price. The only slight let down is its performance.
125cc, 8.7bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
If you can get past the daft name, the Peugeot Tweet 125 is a fantastic little scooter. There's nothing new or revolutionary about it, but it's fun to ride and offers everything you need to beat the traffic on your commute at a bargain price.
124cc, 11bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 3
Produced by Brighton-based Sinnis, but manufactured in China, the Trackstar is a cheap, trendy 125cc alternative to the CG 125 or the Virago. It's very easy to control and manoeuvre, making it an attractive option for learners or novice bikers. It's also got the looks and charm to interest scooter riders, commuters or city-dwellers who are won over by its ...
cc, 22bhp, 82mph, Insurance group
When you hear the spec of the Derbi GP1 250 Racing scooter it's easier to think of a proper motorcycle rather than a funky-looking twist-and-go scooter. It's got radial brakes, earlier versions had a single rear shock and it even has a twin-spar aluminium chassis too. This is about as cool-looking as it gets in the 250cc scooter market.

Data Jurisdiction in the Cloud: The Patriot Act Fear Factor
Cloud computing has gained popularity over the years and is now fast approaching a global scale as hedge funds around the world leverage this innovative technology to help improve efficiency and cut costs. However, cloud computing raises unique data regulation and jurisdiction considerations as cloud environments span multiple geographic locations and data is not tied to one physical location. In today's article we will look at data regulation and jurisdiction considerations for UK companies utilising US headquartered cloud providers.
Many cloud service providers are increasingly serving customers outside their home markets and using service delivery models that require the transmission of data across borders, which has led to a great deal of fear about the rights of access under the USA PATRIOT Act and the geographical extension of those.
Beyond the US, in December 2011 the European Commission published results of its cloud computing consultation, which showed a lack of understanding about the EU legal framework that cloud computing should be implemented within. It also signaled that there is still a widespread need for clarification on rights, responsibilities, data protection and liability in the cloud, especially in cross-border situations.
The US Fear Factor
The fear surrounding the USA PATRIOT Act is not only that the US government can access the data within its territory but also that it can retrieve data from outside of their jurisdiction. Former Microsoft UK managing director, Gordon Frazer, said that he could not guarantee data stored on Microsoft servers, wherever located, would not end up in the hands of the US government, because Microsoft, a company based in the United States, is subject to US laws, including the USA PATRIOT Act.
However, attorneys are now speaking out that this fear is misguided and overblown. According to a presentation by Andrew Lipman, senior partner with Bingham, there is a relatively low risk to cloud service users that the US government would choose to use the USA PATRIOT Act to obtain records sought for an investigation. He presented that the USA PATRIOT Act does not provide unfettered access to data and is actually a cumbersome process for the FBI, which makes the likelihood of this happening statistically fairly modest.
According to attorneys interviewed by Law360.com, "the intensive focus on the Patriot Act may be misplaced, however, as many governments, including those in Europe, have similar laws allowing the seizure of data for the purpose of fighting terrorism and other crimes."
Adhering to UK Data Protection Act
A likely more important consideration for a UK company is to ensure that a cloud provider adheres to The Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act), which is a "United Kingdom Act of Parliament which defines UK law on the processing of data on identifiable living people." Firms considering deploying cloud computing will need to ensure that the cloud computing services comply with the Act.
Most cloud computing relationships are complex and involve the transfer of data across multiple jurisdictions. In order to benefit from optimised use of infrastructure and resources, cloud computing assumes that data will be moved geographically. Therefore it would be rare to see a contract for cloud computing where the customer is guaranteed that their data would not be transferred outside a specified country or region.
Under the Act, transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (the EEA) are prohibited, unless adequate protection is shown – the EEA includes all countries in the European Union, together with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Therefore, where a cloud computing service is provided within the EEA there will be no issue. Equally, if the service is provided within the approved jurisdictions only, there will be no data protection issue (i.e. within Argentina, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey and Switzerland together with Canada and the USA in certain circumstances).
However these scenarios are unlikely. In reality, the customer will need to address a situation where the personal data may be sent to any number of servers in any number of jurisdictions worldwide.
Hedge funds should consider consulting a legal counsel in their home country, in any jurisdiction where their data may be stored, and in any jurisdiction where their cloud service provider does business and closely review the cloud services contracts. Also, be sure to confirm that a private cloud provider is accredited with a safe harbour agreement.
Final Thought & Product Plug
"Companies should not allow one law to drive them away from an otherwise attractive U.S.-based cloud service provider. Companies need to consider other factors, such as the security of the provider's services, or potential production issues arising from discovery," said attorneys interviewed by Law360.com.
