I disagree, the Republican party is stronger at the local level then the national party, so why should I think national intervention would help?
Akin was Claire McCaskill´s candidate. O´Donnell and Angle were just nuttier than can be. I´ve always felt the problem is turnout. Primary turnout is usually so low a fringe candidate can rally a small group of supporters and win.
We need fewer Karl Roves, IMHO.
How many tea party candidates won and how many lost. The focus is always on Angle, Aikin and O´Donnell. Karl Rove is a tub of lard desperate to stay in the lime light.
Instead of always blaming the right, how about pointing fingers to the real enemies on the left. We all know the left is dirty and the media knows how to destroy. Angle lost when Reid imported the union vote to Nevada. O´Donnell did herself a disfavor by acting naive. Once that happened the media took over her campaign. Akin should have never been on the ticket. Some blame goes to the GOP but more to McCaskill who did what she had to do to keep her seat. Let´s face it, the Dems do a better job of finding ways to win.It´s time to toughen up and turn the page.
Right of Karl Rove is noman´s land.
Rand Paul needs Rove´s approval like he needs a hole in his head.Go away Rove, you showed your stripes, now go away.
Excuse me Karl, but Todd Akin did win general elections since he was in the U.S. House of Representatives for 12 years. I´m not saying Akin was the Senate candidate I wanted but Karl Rove speculating on Akin´s murder is beyond the pale. I simply won´t support Rove people.
One question for Mr. Rove, was W a conservative? The answer is all I need to know about his agenda.
Karl, how about you retire and show all of us how indispensable you are?
Don´t consultants like Karl Rove make their money on how much they get others to contribute PLUS all the media buys? Surely he has made enough money by now from the wealthy donors he has shaken down. My big question is these wealthy donors aren´t stupid men...pretty soon they are going to want some action for their money...not just Karl´s dud candidates who don´t win.
#12 should read: Don´t consultants like Karl Rove make their money based on a percentage how much they get others to contribute PLUS a percentage of all the media buys?Like I wrote before...surely that is enough time and treasure spent on one big hot air balloon...time to toddle off, Karl.
Really? Rove is the assclown that lost control of the House with hand picked RINO´s.
Not Fewer Roves... None!Go write a book on your statistics and snake tactics...Mark Levin is 100% right on this!
No argument with Karl on the need to vet candidates. The argument is about who should do the vetting.
I did not like the way that increasingly obnoxious little Chris Wallace purposely set Rove up this morning to let him answer and frame his critics. When he bragged about supporting Rubio? Well duh with the other alternative being Charlie Crist, wow, hard decision!!! Karl is one desperate-looking, bing, walking talking point. Stick a fork in him. He is done.
#17 "boring"" not "bring"
Who died and make Karl boss?!
I say welcome to any who are willing to put time and effort into finding, recruiting, supporting and, hopefully, electing good Republicans. If you don´t care for Karl Rove´s choices, send money to some other group. Good for all of them.
#19 Profound. Karl Rove is a pathetic idiot professionally speaking.... nothing personal.
Ahhhhh, the welcoming attitude of professional liberal but severely conservative republicans.
Rove, you helped destroy O´Donnell prior to the election with your loud mouth on national TV because she beat your $$$$$$$$$ man. Now, instead of always talking about Murdock and Akin, Rove should mention the 10 to 12 he endorsed who LOST in the general. The only 3 new Senators inducted as a result of the 2012 election were endorsed by Gov. Palin and the T.E.A. movement participants with the establishment/elites/Rove endorsing their peer in the primary, i.e., Dewherst.
Someone here referenced Angle. Let´s remember: the establishment candidate in Nevada suggested bartering chickens to pay for medical care. There was no good candidate in that primary.
#17. Rove supported Charlie Crist, not Marco Rubio. The RNC in DC did not support Rubio.
Go home, Karl. bad dog.
All I had to read were the first three words:"Karl Rove dismisses..."
Rove is for Rove.
Just something about Karl. He seems like a guy with fat sweating squishy hands.If not for Hannity, people wouldn´t remember him.
I say forget about the "backlash" and just get Uncle Karl off the national airwaves! His uncanny resemblance to Sturmbannfuhrer Arnold Ernst Toht, the Gestapo agent, in "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" is, quite frankly, doing great harm to the GOP´s ongoing efforts to "win the hearts and minds" of the American People!
Don´t buy anything this guy has to say.
We need more Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert and a whole lot less Karl Rove. ´Bye Karl!@

~The Wall~

~The Theme~
~The Mess~
~& The only thing ive accomplished for the day~
Anyone have any advice to make this taping straight lines easier?????
Hey, Lauren. What kind of tape are you using? Although I have no advice for taping straight lines, when Dean and I taped and painted once, we used standard paint-tape and IT DID NOT WORK. Paint bled underneath the tape and we ended up with jagged paint lines. Jagged paint lines=misery. Now I've HEARD there is a new paint-tape that has a special chemical in it and it gums up or something and works like a charm to prevent bleeding under the tape. I've never used it, but you might want to look into it if you haven't already. :o)
Hi Lauren!
First let me say that we are reading each other's minds! I have been checking out (read stalking) your bloggy for a few days. How random is that?? Thank you so much for following! I will be doing the same. Hope you're having a great evening, lady! xoxo
Its looking good...I'm planning on doing stripes for the nursery...can't wait til you figure it out and advise!
Hello Lauren,
The color and theme is awesome !! I'm so excited to see the finished project :) Good for you for tackling such a big project !! Big but it's all worth it in the end !!! I'm enjoying both your blogs !!
OhMyGosh that is so cute, I love that color!! That is going to look so great!!
I want that bathroom theme for myself =]
Lordy the only thing I can think of for straight lines would be that laser thingy from Black & Decker (I think), but who wants to spend that much $ on something you'll probably only use once?
Good luck.
What a cute theme and a GREAT color. I wish I could convince the Hubster to be that brave about color. He's definitely a "neutral" kind of guy. I went with a cute jungle animal theme from Target for our kids' bathroom. I bought the cute matching wall hangings to go with the shower curtain and they've been sitting in the spare bedroom for 2 months! I need to get cracking on getting them UP. I can't wait to see the finished product.
I think you need a level that shoots a laser beam up the entire wall so that you can follow the light and make it straight. Good luck!

I apologize for not having a picture to show you but the birthday girl attacked the cake before I remembered to grab the camera
Anyway, just imagine a brown cake with lots of shaved chocolate on top and you'll get the idea. What you won't get is how sinfully, decadently, waist-expandingly rich this cake is. Oh and it tastes divine too Have I titillated your taste buds yet? If I have then read the following recipe, make a shopping list and get cracking. But before you thank me be warned – THIS CAKE SHOULD ONLY BE EATEN ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR! I take no responsibility for any strokes, cardiac arrests, type II diabetes or other assorted woes that may result from cake abuse.
Ok, to work! The cake part. This was my Mum's recipe and one of the first things she ever taught me to make because it was so easy.
Ingredients :
4 medium sized eggs [organic and free-range if the budget allows]
4 tablespoons of self raising flour
1 tablespoon of good quality cocoa – I use Van Houten but use whatever you can get.
4 tablespoons of caster sugar /or/ brown sugar [the brown has a richer flavour]
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract [that's the strong stuff]
a 20cm [8"] ringform cake tin [the kind where the side comes off]
Method :
1) Preheat oven to 180C [or 375F]. Reduce temp. slightly if using fan forced setting.
2) Lightly grease the ringform cake tin and dust with flour. Shake off excess and set aside.
3) VERY IMPORTANT – wash all grease from your hands before you go on to step 4 because otherwise the egg whites will not whip!
4) Separate the four eggs into 2 mixing bowls [no! not 2 eggs in each bowl -rolls eyes- ...yolks in one bowl and whites in the other].
5) Add a TINY pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric beater until nice hard peaks form. Set aside in a cool place.
6) Add sugar and vanilla extract to egg yolks and beat [can use the same beaters] until it looks nice and creamy.
7) Sift flour and cocoa over egg yolk mixture and mix together gently.
8) Spoon about 1/3 of the egg whites into the mixture and fold in to moisten the mix. Then add the rest of the egg whites and fold in gently. Do NOT mess around too much as it's better to have a few white bits floating around than to have everything go flat.
9) As soon as all the ingredients are folded in, pour the cake batter into the ringform tin and place in the oven.
10) Do NOT open the oven door for the first 10 minutes. This is not a souffle but you still don't want to mess with it. The cake should be done in 20-25 minutes. Test by poking a bamboo skewer or a toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out dry the cake is done.
11) Remove cake from oven and let it stand in the tin for 5 minutes. Then open the ringform tin, place the cake on a cooling rack and start making the chocolate mousse.
The Mousse
Ingredients :
250 gm [~10 oz] of dark chocolate [I use Plaistowe cooking chocolate coz it's good enough to eat on its own. Please don't use milk chocolate though - by the time everything is in the mousse you won't be able to taste any chocolate at all ]
extra chocolate for decoration
200gm [~1/2 lb] unsalted butter [if you cheat and use salted butter you'll regret it]
3/4 cup caster sugar or brown sugar
4 eggs preferably organic and/or freerange
1/4 cup aromatic rum [this is the secret ingredient and I use a hungarian rum that smells and tastes like something you'd find in the caribbean being swigged by pirates]
Method :
1) Break the chocolate in bits and gently melt in a small pan over a very low flame [or use a double boiler if you get easily distracted]
2) Cut the butter into chunks and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and beat on high, scrapping the mix down from the sides until the butter mix is very creamy [for me this usually takes about 10 minutes]
3) Keep beating as you pour the melted chocolate into the butter mix. More scrapping etc until chocolate completely mixed in.
4) Start adding the rum a teaspoon at a time. Keep mixing on high between each addition.
5) Crack an egg into a small bowl.Check for bits of shell [and remove if you find any!] then add to chocolate mix and keep beating. You can't hurry this bit or you won't get the velvety smooth texture.
6) Repeat step 5 with all remaining eggs.
7) Put the chocolate mousse in the fridge and lick the beaters
Putting the whole lot together.
What you want is layers of chocolate mousse sandwiched between thin layers of cake with more mousse over the top and sides. You can do this any way you want but I've discovered the following is the easiest for me.
1) Slice cake into as many layers as you can manage. Usually about 3.
2) Wash and dry the ringform tin. Cover the bottom with cling wrap and reassemble.
3) Spoon a 1/2 inch layer of chocolate mousse into the bottom of the cake tin. This will end up being the 'top' of the cake.
4) Place a layer of cake onto the mousse layer and cover that in chocolate mousse. Repeat until you have used up all the cake but don't put mousse on the very last piece.
5) Place chocolate mousse cake in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour or until the mousse firms up a bit. Remove from fridge and gently unmold.
6) Slather the sides with extra chocolate mousse. Smooth the top and then grate the extra chocolate over the top.
That's it – you're done! Pop the cake back into the fridge until ready to serve. I think it tastes best after 24 hours but ours rarely last that long
If you have lots of willpower the cake will last in the fridge for 3 days. The left over chocolate mousse can be frozen.
Naturally I love to hear from anyone who comes to my blog but… if you try my recipe please, please, PLEASE come back and tell me know how it turned out!

Avian flu does not like the cold
Despite all the warnings about swine flu, it still has not reached pandemic level. One of the biggest concerns is that it may mutate and become more virulent. Another concern is that it may mix with the avian flu and create a maor crisis. However, a recent study suggests that the avian flu virus has not adapted to colder climates. This makes it less likely to be carried in human noses, or at least, noses of humans living in colder climes.
The reason that many other human viruses can cause infections in our colder noses is that these viruses have adapted themselves to the cold. There are still some that prefer warmer climes. That is why sometimes cold air is recommended for cold sufferers. The swine flu virus (H1N1) is able to survive in colder climates, therefore, it has been able to spread. We would have a bigger catastrophe if the avian virus mutates. Fortunately, this takes time and scientists are able to monitor any changes.
Experts still urge us not to be complacent about the swine flu, but some people are suggesting trying to get it now while it's mild and you can develop an immunity to it. This would only be advisable if you are healthy and can quarantine yourself so as not to inadvertently infect someone who is immunocompromised in any way.

Okay i know. The problem is known.
It is due to the fact that my lib only scan for 'jpg' down case not JPG upper case. This is not a problem for windows users but uggly for linux users.
This is already repaired and i just need to send the version to the repository. I will not at home to do that before tomorrow.
This new version will make possible the scan of any extension you like. Anyway, only jpg will got iptc and exif infos if available.
Wait til tomorrow and tell me what do you think

hi mhdebokx
All of these are already scanned for and included in the pictures database. This is the job of my library mypicsdb.py Unfortunately I don't really know how to include all of these within a plugin. That's why it is a library and a plugin using my library. I hope other devs could take advantage of my lib and create some scripts with full interface. I'm thinking right now about your request, maybe can you be more explicit about what you want ? Maybe I can create some other folders like now we have 'by date, by fodler, by keywords, I may add 'by categories', 'by countrycode', .... (You may be the only one interrested by this but I'm ready to code it for you (maybe can I think about a way to create any filters like the user want. I.E you want a 'sort by City' folder. The plugin show you all available fields (ie exif info and.or iptc info) and then create all the subfolders for you (like keywords filter) City / ..../ Paris ..../ Cape Tribulation ..../ Sydney ......../Darling harbour.jpg ......../Circular Quay.jpg ......../..... |

Hi robotica
You are doing good to write here your last requests. * Unicode errors in the path are fixed just right now It will be included in the next release. * Datetime errors should be OK now. It tries the standard datetime format (only dots separating the values) and if it does not work, try some others. Sometimes it can't retrieve date time because as what I've seen in some pics, datime is 0000:00:00 00:00:00 and of course it is not a valid date time. * XMP / picture rating I haven't found any pure python library to retrieve XMP metadatas. I would love add this kind of metadatas as it is the most recent kind of information and it works with many different kind of file types. If someone better than I am, knows about such a library, or if somebody knows how to use a XMP C library from python, feel free to contact me ! thank you Picture rating may be done from scratch and only in and for mypictureDB. Anyway, I say it again, it was not in my first thought to enable picture edition from this plugin as it requires a lot of attention to be safe and not corrupt your pics. |

A program is under way to help low-income households in the East Bay prepare their income tax forms.
A ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday at Brighter Beginnings, 2727 Macdonald Ave. in Richmond to kick off the Contra Costa County program.
The project began earlier this week in Alameda County.
The program is called Earn It! Keep It! Save It! It's organized by the United Way and supported by local community organizations such as First 5 Contra Costa.
In the Bay Area, program organizers will set up 215 free tax sites with trained volunteer tax preparers to help households that earned less than $51,000 in 2012.
You can get a list of Contra Costa centers here and a list of Alameda County centers here.
One of the chief missions is to make sure the households claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). That credit can be worth as much as $5,000 per household.
Last year, the EKS program helped secure $68 million in refunds for 64,000 households. Of that, $22 million came from the EITC.

pure speaker output and tone. The audible result is a much tighter low end, smoother response, a wider sound, and a ton of power. The cabinet's closed back also sports a small, triangular port that's covered in wire mesh to let air reach the tubes.
For the Dream Solo series, 3rd Power used point-to-point turret boards. The all-tube circuit uses 12AX7 preamp tubes, which funnel the signal to two 6V6 power tubes and a custom-voiced output transformer for 22 watts of power. If the amp's wattage is too much for a given situation, there's a knob on the back for controlling the HybridMASTER circuit, which keeps the tone robust at all volumes by simultaneously changing several attenuation, filtering, and voltage regulation stages. Additional noise generated by the tube circuit is held at bay by 3rd Power's NoiseREDUX technology, an analog noise-reducing algorithm that's a new feature now included in every amp model that they make.
For all the features on this little amp amp, the interface is simple and familiar. The front panel features a fuss-free control set with volume, treble, middle, bass, and presence controls, exactly like the old, non-master volume Plexi that inspired the Dream Solo 4. If you want some grit and gain on the tone, you'll have to apply it the old fashioned way—by turning it up!
Dream On
The Dream Solo 4 captures the slicingbite and snarl of a Marshall with remark-able accuracy—particularly given the verydifferent tube complement. But there arealso noticeable differences that give the 3rdPower its own voice. A Telecaster hookedup to the 3rd Power emitted a crisp anddetailed range of clean tones, infused withthe natural upper midrange emphasisthat 6V6 power tubes are known for. Thehighs tended to feel less strong as the restof the frequencies, but it's a great founda-tion for late '60s-style Hendrix clean work,where soft, present high end works moreeffectively than the intense, pingy highs aMarshall can generate at lower volumes.
The Verdict
3rd Power's attempt to pack the smooth, velvety tones of a classic Marshall Plexi into a 1x12 combo is impressive. They've managed to capture the feeling and essence of the quintessential Plexi tones in a package you can actually fit in the trunk of a car. The 6V6 power tubes can at times slather a little extra grease on those classic tones, but it's a cool twist on your average Marshall flavor. If you're a die-hard Plexi fanatic, or have been interested in experiencing some of the best tones that rock and roll has ever offered for the first time—without having to withstand the pants-flapping volume of an original model or tick off your sound engineer, 3rd Power's latest trick fits the bill.
Pros: Juicy, musical tones. Excellent sensitivity and dynamics.
Plenty of volume when needed. Great tone at lower levels.
3rd Power Amplification Dream Solo 4, $1,999 (combo) $1,699 (head) street, 3rdpower.com
Cons: Single channel design is not for everyone, especially modern players—clean to dirty is only achievable from the guitar's volume knob. Expensive.

An Olympic Calendar initially for London 2012 and then Sochi 2014, in February and on to Rio 2016 in Brazil. It includes all Events, chronologically listed. The winter Olympics are coming to Russia!At the moment it is a lightweight App, with very few Application resources. It works well on older devices with smaller screens, as well as those with large screens and tablets of course.
They can be viewed in a complete list from the first Event through to the very last one. They may also be listed by discipline, such as :
Alpine Skiing
Cross Country Skiing
Figure Skating
Freestyle Skiing
Ice Hockey
Nordic Combined
Short Track
Ski Jumping
Speed Skating
Opening and Closing Ceremonies
*** NOTE the App will open on the last tab that was used when the App was last closed. So if Favourites is the last tab used, this will be the tab that the User will be presented with.
All 2014 dates are included along with the times of the Events. It is also our hope to add dates for the Paralympics, but this will only happen at a future date, once the App development cycle calms down.
Selected individual Events can be stored in Favourites, by "long selecting" them. Alternatively all Events for a given discipline may be added to Favourites, by "long selecting" the Disciplines on the second Tab.

Benefits of Online Tutoring
In recent years the business of personal tutoring online has exploded! The teachers are overwhelmed and overburdened by all their tasks in and outside the classroom, parents and students have turned to the help of a private tutor, and education. Some parents do this as a way for their children to get ahead or just stay current with their studies.

Recent financial change is only making the situation worse because the Government budget have dried from the local to the federal level, means there are fewer teachers use, with fewer resources available to them, making it impossible for even the saintliest of teachers to manage just the sheer number of students they are expected to teach, inspire, lead, and are responsible for the existence and personal development will be performed every day.
An online tutor is able to provide one-on-one attention, after hours, in the comfort of home students. Not only is this a more effective teaching environment for teachers, which can effectively meet the needs of students without interference, is also a more effective learning environment for students, who do not have to suffer the burden of social pressure or disorder the incessant.

Stay Up to Date on the Latest New with Social Journalism
Social journalism is a very important aspect in today's internet based world. We use the internet to communicate with friends and family, shop, conduct business, and keep up to date with the latest news. Sites like Facebook and Twitter have created an amazing platform for social journalists, allowing the majority of the population to stay on top of the latest media news within real time. While for many decades people relied on their local news stations to fill them in on the events of the day, today's society relies almost solely on the internet.
Tips in Buying Your Best USB to GPIB Controllers
Here is what you really have to do when you are comparing prices to find your best USB to GPIB controllers. Provided that you have several quotes or products' catalogues from some different suppliers, first thing first is never to open or look at any of those document! Instead, check what you really need initially, that is, determine in what specifications you want to have your controllers to work in your own system. This could include, for instance, checking the physical dimensions, the materials, mounted or portable or fixed installation, and of course, the specific functions your system requires.
This is called setting your own buying conditions. Once you have set them, then you can open your quotes or catalogues to see which item (on which quote or brochure) is at the highest, or perfect if possible, match with your buying conditions. Now, as the result, you may notice that your perfect USB to GPIB controller may have a bit higher price than what you originally thought at the first time. And contrary to popular belief, this is all okay! Your purpose in buying a controller is that of a functional one, and never a cheaper or lower priced one! If you get discount for your perfect item, that's another story of your luck.
But even if you have nothing off-the-price, you still get what you are looking for! Remember, paying more to get more is all the best bargain you could get, rather than paying less to get nothing at all, right! If you insist on going cheaper, or even cheapest, and all the while you neglect your own buying conditions, just ask yourself this very question: how come it could ever cross your mind that giving so low will get you the highest quality and maximum level of services? Sure you are not dreaming when buying things?

March 22, 2012 was World Water Day. Let's not allow this day to pass us by this year without encouraging each of us to ask ourselves what we can do differently to help conserve our beautiful resource. With summer quickly approaching it is important that everyone does their part in water conservation. As soon as the grass and gardens start "asking" us for water until the end of the landscape season, on average, BC residents water consumption will increase by 50% and even as high as 60% compared to the winter months.
Here are a few facts and tips from livingwatersmart.ca for homeowners and commercial property owners when it comes to maintaining your lawns and gardens this summer. The more aware we become of the 'little' things, the bigger the difference will be.
- A standard garden hose running can use and potentially waste up to 600L of water per hour
- A lawn only needs 25mm or an inch of water INCLUDING rainfall per week
- Watering less frequently and for less time, promotes deeper, healthier roots - "strive to survive"
- 70-80% of all plant problems in the garden are caused by improper water delivery
- It's much better to water gardens and lawns early in the morning when it is cool (less water evaporates) and the winds are calm
- Watch out for drips — keep your outdoor taps in good shape. A single dripping tap can waste an OBSURD amount of water in a year!
- A poorly designed/installed/maintained irrigation system can easily waste water each cycle (watering the sidewalk, over-watering, watering during rain)
- A well designed/installed/maintained irrigation system can reduce water waste by 20% per season - an irrigation system with a rain sensor installed will reduce your water consumption considerably more while preventing your lawn from drowning. A rain sensor is a huge asset and should be mandatory with every irrigation install. It will pay for itself in a single season.
Wishing everyone a green and sunny summer!

Hi!I am working on a query I need to run monthly. This query includes a "date" field which I need to fill in with the LAST day of the PREVIOUS month of this year. I am trying to do this by:SELECT ([31/] + MONTH(DATEADD(mm,-1,DATE())) + '[/]' + YEAR(DATE())) as MyTimeBut it tells me that "there are too few parameters".Also, this is not a very good solution since not every month has 31 days.I would very much appreciate any ideas you cane give me.And thanks in advance for you time!
If I understand your question correctly - you want the last day of the previous month? MySQL has a LAST_DAY function already.SELECT DATE_SUB(LAST_DAY(now()), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)Hope that helps
Thank you very much!!I think that's exactly what I need. I'll try the trick today and let you know. Maybe it was a very dumb question, but I'm a newby so... sorry for wasting your time! :)
Hi Wetty,So I tried the statement just as you posted it but it gives me an error saying the there is a syntax error(missing operator) in query expression. Is the syntax for MySQL the same as for TOAD for Data Analyst? Thank you
Shouldn't be any difference. What version of MySQL are you using?
I'm using TOAD for Data Analyst 220.127.116.110. I realised that some of the statements in SQL are different, although not really sure why! :S
Oh! Sorry!I belive is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.Is this what you are asking for?
You are right. Sorry about that and thanks for your time! :)

As drivers put a lot of miles on their cars during Thanksgiving, they're paying more at the pump than a year ago, but they still have reason to be thankful.
Prices in many parts of the country have fallen recently, and Triple-A says gas prices could finish the year lower than where they started.
The national average today is $3.43, down 44 cents from mid-September but still 8 cents higher than a year ago.
Because the price was so high for so much of the year, Americans are likely to spend a record amount for gas by year's end. The Oil Price Information Service estimates that Americans will spend about $483 billion on fuel this year, topping last year's record of $474 billion.

- Great watch Review by Mike
Value Quality Price This watch with its GPS and heart rate functions has given me the tools to make consistent improvements as a trail/ultrarunner. Beside the functionality and durability this watch offers, it can be worn as a watch when I am not working out.

- Epic watch Review by Michael
Quality Price Value There are far more thorough reviews you can find on the internet, but suffice it to say that this watch is exactly as awesome as it seems. The software fills in the gaps in the GPS data so you get smooth pace information even when GPS coverage lapses for a bit. I normally hate vinyl/rubber watch bands, but this one is comfortable and convenient. The online app ecosystem is still in its infancy, but give another six months, the community should come up with some really cool stuff. I highly recommend this product if you are in the market for a GPS watch for trekking and training.

Read part one and two of this biohacking story
We were late. The route to Walnut Creek using San Francisco's public transport took longer than we thought. When we eventually arrived, breathless, at the lobby of the Marriott Hotel, signs saying "FBI workshop" led the way to the basement. We hesitated. Should we really be part of this? Should we really reveal what we had been doing for the last two years to the FBI? Before we could reconsider, we saw a friendly, 40-something man in a khaki suit and white-collared shirt welcoming a crowd of more than 30 other people from across the globe. "We appreciate you guys coming, it's good to put names to email addresses," said Nathaniel Head, the supervisory special agent of the FBI's Biological Countermeasures Unit.
The other faces in the room showed just how much the field of biohacking had evolved since we began our own experiments nearly two years earlier. Then, almost all amateur geneticists – tinkering away with DNA in their kitchens and garages – were based in the US. By the time of the conference, we knew hackers around the world, from Ireland to Indonesia, from Singapore to Denmark, even in our native Germany. There were now biohacking organisations, biohacking events, virtual networks and co-working spaces for enthusiasts to swap stories, advice and protocols.
As the field has steadily grown, so have the headlines. Some have been positive, trumpeting its promise and hailing it as a demonstration of democratic science. Others have been much less welcoming, fearing a possible dawn of bioterrorism, where rogue biohackers manipulate toxic genes to create dangerous, pathogenic microbes.
Although the truth is perhaps less sensational, one thing is clear: biohacking is a rapidly growing field, driven by ever more powerful – yet affordable – technology. It's only a matter of time before anyone with an eBay account and the right motivation could do the type of DNA experiments we did in our make-shift lab.
No one is more acutely aware of this than the FBI. To counter the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the US intelligence agency established the WMD Directorate in 2006, aimed at dealing with "incidents involving nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical weapons". Since then, its Biological Countermeasures Unit has closely followed the emerging field of biohacking. Agents in 56 FBI offices across the US reached out to the field's leading names, acknowledging their efforts and learning about what they do. And, as the movement spread beyond the US, Head organised the first international DIYbio Outreach Workshop – which is where we found ourselves breathlessly shaking hands with the special agent in June 2012, and rubbed shoulders with well-known members of the biohacking community, such as those based in Copenhagen's Biologigaragen, Manchester's Madlab, New York's Genspace or Paris's La Paillasse.
Head, who holds a university degree in microbiology, seemed open-minded towards biohackers. He called the gathered crowd "great thinkers" and "innovators", who were changing the world. But he left no doubt as to the reason behind the workshop. "We want to learn about biohacking and to be able to separate between the white and the black hats," he said, differentiating between harmless amateur tinkerers and potential bioterrorists misusing genetic engineering technology.
Is it justifiable to fear that amateur biologists might see it as a personal challenge to make a killer virus in their garage, as Michael Osterholm of the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity put it in 2012? Is every second-hand biotech machine sold on eBay and every new DNA technology kit marketed by biotech companies a step in that direction? The FBI clearly see it as a possibility, and it is perhaps easy to see why.

Updated: Feb 21, 2013 4:56 PM
UPDATE: BOZEMAN - Nurses at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital tell us they are closer to reaching a deal with management.
Nurses hit the streets earlier this week for what they called an "informational picket." They've been in contract negotiations with the hospital since September. One of the issues the nurses want addressed in the contract is bullying. They say bulling by supervisors is a problem.. so they want nurses to have recourse if it occurs.
The union members have three sticking points. First, they are asking for benefits for part time nurses that, according to the nurses union, the hospital wants to take away. Second, they say there are inequities on the pay scale. The union says sometimes new hires with the same experience and education as current employees are paid more. The third issue the union wants addressed is bullying.
Hospital officials say they are working with the nurses to solve their differences. Negotiations took place all day Wednesday and since 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

ewal: maybe make the bottom half of ur e one long curve instead of makin it go up and back down again. put a shadow or something on it to give it some life
any crits please? besides the poor line quality, this was done quickly at work lol

Vemsone I like it man, make the lines cleaner and sharpen the top of the V and it'll be nice bro
Anything I say or post on this website is a LIE I don't commit Vandalism and will never agree with Vandalism, Art however is a different story
ya no doubt i just threw it together in 2 mins while i was on a call at work, ima re do it with color tonight
skina, the second throw is the best, the other two have wide spread legs, and suck. exactly like prostitutes. if you wouldn't want your throws to be prostitutes you'd do like the second flick and close those spaces up
bump that ewal, only clean shit on this page.
vems work on ur tag nd the e hole looks odd. the v would look more soilid if the left arm was a solid line instead of the lil curves.
seyr? keep practicing that throw, looks solid.
skina that shitty generic style is played out. give crits nt pussy lips.
lol some one got mad
***** how do i post the same shit ?

CNY leaders announced new effort to clean up litter along Syracuse highways
SYRACUSE -- Central New York community leaders announced a new collaborative effort to clean up litter along the highways in Syracuse.
They are working with the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office to roll out an awareness campaign.
The new clean up effort will include scheduled clean ups on sections of the highways. Some lanes may be closed off during the clean ups.
Local law enforcement will be stepping up the enforcement of current littering laws. The current penalty for littering is a fine of up to $350 or community service up to 10 hours for littering for the first offence. Subsequent violations carry a penalty of a fine up to a $700 or community service up to 15 hours.

Vt. and parts of northern NY under flood watchThe Associated Press | June 27,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Department of Emergency Management is going to be activating the state's Emergency Operations Center to prepare for possible flooding forecast for the region.
The National Weather Service today issued a flood watch for most of Vermont, upstate New York and surrounding states.
The forecast in Vermont calls for the rain to begin falling late today. Heavy rain is forecast through Friday with up to 4 inches in parts of the state. Since the ground is already saturated much of the rain could run directly into rivers and streams.
Emergency Management spokesman Mark Bosma says the operations center will be staffed beginning at 6:30 p.m. State officials will be prepared to help local officials across Vermont who would be the first to respond to flooding.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

Further Confusion, also known as FurCon, or just FC, is an annual convention celebrating the anthropomorphics genre or furry fandom. It is the 2nd largest such convention in the world, and takes place in the Bay Area of California each January.
Beginning in 1999 with attendance of 691 individuals, it has grown rapidly, with 3380 attendees by 2013.
It hosts a Dealers Den, Artists Alley, Art Shows, an Headless lounge, educational seminars, panels, general social activities (Furry Dances), an Iron Artist competition, the original Critterlympics, charity auctions/events (over a grand total $150,000 to various local charitable beneficiaries up to date), and it sports its own in-house Television station (FCTV), that broadcasts during the convention.
It was the first event sponsored by Anthropomorphic Arts and Education, Inc. (FurCon is its registered service mark[1]) and continues to be its largest.
Further Confusion has one of the largest art show of any convention in the fandom, with sales routinely exceeding $50,000, with one piece alone, Eyes of the Night by female artist Goldenwolf, going for fandom record amount of $10,000 at Further Confusion 2004, the result of a close, fierce bid battle between Flint Otterhall and a local appreciator of furry art.[2]
Further Confusion 2014 will be held January 16 - 20, 2014.

By Ky Capel
Bridport 0 WILLAND ROVERS 2
DESPITE suffering a fifth straight defeat, results elsewhere secured another season in Toolstation's top-flight for lowly Bridport.
The Bees went down 2-0 for the second match in succession as high-flying Willand Rovers bagged all three points at St Mary's Field on Bank Holiday Monday.
But with relegation rivals Sherborne Town, who defeated Bridport 2-0 on Saturday, and Radstock Town also losing out – and having to play each other on the final day of the campaign – Trevor Senior's men are sure to be playing Premier Division football in 2012/13.
The boss, whose side visit Ilfracombe Town this weekend (3pm), said: "I was looking for a response after Saturday's defeat at Sherborne and to be honest the first half was a bit of a non-event.
"The wind played its part and we only had the one chance in the first half. Ben Clarke's effort was saved and Tom Richardson couldn't quite get his leg over the ball to keep it down.
"They didn't really have too much either but they did go 1-0 up, albeit with a dubious pen-alty.
"Their guy cut in on the byline and went to cross the ball. Alan Hill had his arms by his side but the referee adjudged him to have handled it, which was unfortunate really.
"We looked a bit tentative in the second half but with a bit more luck we could have got a draw. Dan Wise had a really good shot from 25 yards well saved, Ben headed off target and Roger Cummings came on and hit a sweet volley straight at the goalkeeper.
"Then, from about six yards, Tom's effort hit a defender's foot and bounced over the bar.
"And about three or four minutes from time the ball was bobbling around in our box and although Ryan Hayter did well to block two attempts, it fell nicely for one of their players and his shot went through two or three of our players and inside the post.
"That summed it up really as things just don't seem to be falling like that for us. The good news is that we are safe now after Sherborne and Radstock both lost."
Reflecting on the weekend loss at rivals Sherb, who remain eight points adrift of the Bees after Monday's events, Senior added: "It was the same thing that has happened so often this season – we didn't take our chances.
"We were unlucky with some of them though, as their keeper made some great saves."
Next up for Bridport is Saturday's trip to 11th-placed Ilfracombe.
Bees: Filkins, Condliffe, C Clarke, Lock, Hill (A Symes 72), Hayter, Legg (Cummings 70), Wise, Richardson, B Clarke, Senior (Luke 65).
Man of the Match: Ryan Hayter

Johnnie Walker XR 21-Year Old at Duty Free
Filed under: Spirits
Johnnie Walker XR 21 YO is an exclusive blend inspired by the handwritten notes of Sir Alexander Walker, the grandson of founder Johnnie Walker. Sourced from the exclusive reserve of aged casks, including those of the now silent Brora distillery, the whisky has been allowed to age for twenty-one years, achieving a smooth, deep blend - the depth and intensity of aged oak, the subtle notes of vanilla, the sweet hint of golden honey and a very smooth finish. Each bottle is uniquely numbered and sells for $105.00 U.S.
Diageo is quiet for now about a broader release.

lol, very good
lol, very good
Awesome! Reminded me of this:
Great stuff again DM with some sound, less birds (or dynamic amount) and flying 'flater' (again or dynamic) this will be a permanent singleplayer addon like your smoke and VB .
That look's extremly cool!
Very good work, thank you!
MfG Lee
Yea, nice idea DM. As already said, some sound added and maybe having the script look for enemy soldiers within 100-200 m and reveal your groups existance to them with the reveal command?
>> The journey is the reward! <<
I guess people who don't live in a country with finches don't realize the size of the flocks. But at any rate, if you have a bunch of flocks of finches close together like that, the sudden departure of one flock will make the other one leave aswell... and like the youtube comment, you should have them take off in some direction to begin with rather than vertically.
What a great idea! The flock of birds getting disturbed in that video look really realistic. About the vid as well, is that your map DM? It looks REALLY realistic!
Okay, I am forum lurking lol.
Thanks for the comments guys, glad it's getting a generally positive response.
The birds will continue to fly straight up for the foreseeable, they're only crappy little sprites so any sort of scrutiny by people standing under them will reveal their simple nature. They're just generic flapping shapes, as I cannot tell which way any individual is likely to fly it doesn't make sense to make only left or right flying birds. So they just fly generally up (with variations) into the sky. Their purpose is not to simulate bird life but to simulate bird disturbance, which I think it does. What happens to them once they fly away is not important.
In fact they're just particles, and particles cannot be controlled once they're "floated" away, they just react according to their settings. The sprites themselves are a mixture of 4 different animation cycles, and each bird receives it's own individual animation cycle speed so there's lots of subliminal variance.
@ArmaVidz, yes that's a new map I'm working on it's slow going, but it's 100% accurate to the kosovian area I've chosen to replicate. Placing everything by hand is a labour of love, and of course I'm learning as I go, it being my first map. But it should be quite nice for ground ops particularly.
Oh BTW, if anyone can point me to a nice flocking birds soundsample/youtube etc then I'd be grateful.
Fire And Smoke for ArmA2: JTD_FireAndSmoke v0.2
For better future effects addons, please vote for this ticket.
Maybe not perfect but at least something to start with...Originally Posted by (DMarkwick @ April 11 2008,20:32)
Looped a couple of times and maybe mixed with parts of this at lower volume?
Lots of nice sounds available here check it out...
Maybe you can "mix" some arma birds with the sprites, let them spawn there via script.
MfG Lee
