Global Tax on Air Travel Proposed
At a United Nations climate meeting in Bonn, Germany, world leaders proposed a levy on long-haul air travel as a way to raise money to supposedly help less developed countries adapt to alleged anthropogenic (human-caused) "climate change." If the proposal were to become reality, the United Nations would be able to supplement "contributions" from member nations with its own international tax, something world-government promoters have dreamed about for decades.
Americans $2.4 Trillion Poorer After Q3 — It May Get Worse
Americans are quickly getting poorer as the much-touted economic "recovery" remains elusive. Household wealth plummeted by more than four percent from July to September according to a report released last week by the Federal Reserve, marking the steepest drop since 2008 and the second quarterly decline in a row. That represents an average loss of about $21,000 per household in just three months.
Fed Data Reveals Trillions in Bailouts to Big Foreign Banks
Secret Federal Reserve System data released December 1 reveals that the banking cartel (the Fed and its member banks) bailed itself out to the tune of more than $10 trillion in "emergency" funds, with trillions more going to line the pockets of big European and foreign banks.
Debate Over Government Pension Plans Heats Up
After losing billions during the economic crisis, bloated benefits of state and local government-employee pension plans across America have been thrust into the spotlight as officials consider the tough reforms necessary to ensure their funds' continued existence.
Fed Loses Secrecy Suit, Considering Options
The Federal Reserve lost an appeal March 19 in a bid to keep hidden the details of its estimated $2 trillion in bailouts to bankers around the world, prompting celebration among anti-Fed campaigners and promises of a continued fight from the banking cartel.
Fed Official Admits 16% Unemployment
The real number of unemployed in the United States is far more than the federal government's official count and the recovery could be long and tenuous, a Federal Reserve official told the Chattanooga, Tennessee, Area Chamber of Commerce last week in a speech that received some media attention.
Stimulus Grants for Batteries and Green Cars
Last week, the Obama administration revealed the 48 recipients of $2.4 billion in federal grant money supposedly designed to stimulate domestic production of batteries and other "green" car components while saving or creating jobs. But critics are already blasting the handouts, calling them politically biased, useless, and even unconstitutional.
BusinessWeek Could Sell for $1
With plunging advertising revenue across the industry, McGraw-Hill is reportedly putting BusinessWeek up for sale. The company said only that it is exploring "strategic options" for the magazine so far, but according to sources cited in Bloomberg, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, investment bank Evercore Partners Inc., has been hired to facilitate the sale.
IRS Makes Americans International Pariahs
As the Internal Revenue Service continues its hunt for tax dodgers, Swiss banks are refusing to open accounts for Americans and closing the ones that already exist. The tax collectors aim to recover an estimated $50 billion in unpaid taxes by pressuring Americans to voluntarily declare offshore accounts by September 23 — or face possible criminal prosecution and fines.
IMF Economists: Huge U.S. Tax Hikes Needed
Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned of U.S. government finances in disarray and out-of-control entitlement spending in a report published earlier this month, predicting a bleak future of significantly higher taxes for Americans even with less government spending.

Michigan I-96 shootings suspect faces new state charges, including terrorism
Michigan attorney general brings terrorism, other charges against I-96 shooting spree suspect
The Michigan attorney general's office has filed terrorism and other new charges against a man suspected in a shooting spree that targeted motorists in and near Interstate 96 in four counties.
The office announced last month that it was taking over the cases at the request of prosecutors in Livingston, Ingham and Shiawassee counties. And on Thursday, it formally charged 43-year-old Raulie Casteel of Wixom with seven felony counts involving Livingston County attacks.

Defense lawyer Charles Groh isn't commenting. Casteel is awaiting arraignment in Howell District Court.
The Oakland County prosecutor's office will continue to handle the 60 counts Casteel faces in connection with shootings in Wixom and Commerce Township.
The shootings took place along a 100-mile I-96 corridor Oct. 16-27, keeping area residents on edge. Only one injury occurred.

Gulf Gate Library collection headed to the mall
Date: November 13, 2012
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
Sarasota County commissioners this morning will consider a contract with Sarasota Shoppingtown LLC to lease space in Westfield Sarasota Square Mall to temporarily house the Gulf Gate Library collection.
The library will operate out of a 20,092 square foot space next to JC Penny if the County Commission approves the $138,000, 25-month agreement, which would begin next month. The site matched the county's search criteria, which included a minimum of 8,000 square feet of space with at least 75 available parking spaces.
County staff found that locations with correct zoning for the temporary library facilities ranged from the spot in the mall at $3.25 per square foot to $21 per square foot annually. Funding for the lease is available in the 2013 fiscal year budget, but has not been earmarked for the subsequent year.
For more information pick up a copy of the Nov. 15 issue of the Pelican Press.

The Audax Diaries: The Poor Student
January 10th, 2011
I must have first become aware of Paris-Brest-Paris over ten years ago. My initial - ignorant and unconsidered - response would have been to dismiss it as "too far, too slow". At the time I was preoccupied with going as fast as possible on a bicycle. Yet PBP doesn't reward youthful impetuosity, a broader perspective is required just to consider the thing. The quad-annual Paris-Brest-Paris is the oldest continually run cycling event held on open roads, its bare statistics are stark; 1200km with a 90 hour time limit. To even be considered for entry a rider needs to complete a Super Randonneur series of 200, 300, 400 and 600km rides between January and May.
Following the 24-hour time trial exploits of Graeme Raeburn and Ultan Coyle over the last couple of years (respectively the heads of product design and our graphic design) sideways glances were exchanged last year and gentle "what-ifs" developed into a broad resolve and to attempt to enter the 2011 edition of Paris-Brest-Paris.
Which led me to January 8th 2011 and the "Poor Student"; a 200km audax which rolls through a sizable chunk of the Cotswolds - a quintessential and beautiful part of England. I grew up in the middle of the Cotswolds and have watched it change immeasurably; thankfully the rolling hills and the golden stone retain their appeal.
Hauling my reluctant frame from my London bed at 4.50am, I checked the pavement to be greeted by dancing streetlight reflecting back at me from puddles fractured by torrential rain. I met my soaked comrade, Ultan, at Paddington and we went through the futile process of trying to dry clothing on a train that truculently proceeded to breakdown before it had left the station. A precarious totter across the concourse on cleats led to another train that got us to Oxford.
We met our friends Anton and Ross from La Fuga and set off into a stiff headwind. I hate headwinds, they're like riding up a hill blindfolded. However, buoyed by completion of my Festive 500, I sat on the front with Ultan catching up with news of other Christmas festivities.

To prove completion of the audax route we had to collect receipts from a couple of control towns, the first after 60 odd km being Malmesbury. Cake was shoveled down and tea went into the bidon (recommended). Moving on we passed through Cirencester before meeting the hills at Compton Abdale, slowing us down and picking at the first loose threads of insecurity which began to develop into a hole as we descended to the second control at Chipping Camden.
By this point Anton had blown, muttering under his breath about getting over the hill to Moreton before the effects of the can of coke he'd inhaled wore off. The wily Ross Muir helped raise spirits with a bag of Jelly Babies that provided the necessary energy to take us into Oxford; Ultan drove us the whole way in. Given that he'd ridden on the front all day to finish riding tempo at 40kph towing us all home was remarkable, especially considering he'd not touched his bike in the best part of a month and didn't eat breakfast (precocious tosser).

Cycling has never lost the ability to delight me; it's multi-faceted nature being one of many aspects that appeal. The Audax community was friendly, open and engaging. I was immediately struck by how uncluttered and pure their cycling enjoyment was, no power meters, no slaves to heartrate, nor to weight weenieism. Writing this two days after an event that's caused me to reconsider how far I think "far" is and clutching an ice pack on to my knee, I'll be glad just to make it to the start line of PBP.

Brilliant - I have been having the same thoughts about Audax rides. It has a certain honesty about it and I share your observations about your fellow riders. It maybe something to do with the fact that it's not a race, you are almost in it together and as a result there is a shared determination to finish and assist one's fellow riders in the event of mechanical trouble.
I myself am aiming to complete an SR series this year, and rode the brilliantly named 'Goodbye Christmas Pud' 100k on Sunday. The distances are formidable as is the need to ride through the night with no sleep but the vibe of the events are special.
Good luck with PBP.

…And good luck with your SR Stuart.
If you haven't already picked your events and feel up to doing a very flat 200 you could still enter the Willesden CC 'Willy Warmer' on Saturday 22 Jan. If you do your SR on the Willesden's events they are doing a commemorative medal.
The sense of "being in it together" is probably what has kept me coming back to Audax rides; in an understated British "mustn't grumble" sort of way people do bond and do work together regardless of how sleek anyone's bike is or how sophisticated their training regime.

Tend to feel you are 'bigging this up' PBP is a tough call, but the audaxes have a wide time spread and are a lot of fun. My partner was a RTYR twice and did a double series (200/300/400/60)4 times in 2 years with v.average kit/bike/saddle. She was a consistently fast finisher and worked as well. Long distance riding is pacing yourself,knowing when to eat.sleep etc. Its worth going for the 90 hour time limit to give yourself the best chance. The old hands at the PBP ride know what's required,so listen to their advice

Downtown revitalization has been a cornerstone of the City of Binghamton's economic development plan in recent years and as the city moves forward with plans to boost business, it's taking a look back at its history for inspiration. YNN's Chris Whalen has the story.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Sall-Stearns has been a downtown business staple since 1929. When Ron Sall started working there in 1961, he says Court Street was the place to shop.
Sall said, "It was huge, it was booming. I remember as a kid having to, by law, I had to take a half-hour outside the business for dinner hour at night, I couldn't stand on the street it was so busy, I had to stand inside the lobby a little bit."
That's the way it was for the first half of the 20th century in Binghamton. Downtown was home to one of the biggest cigar manufacturers in the country and later to Bundy Time Recording, the company that would become IBM.
However, as the city's population declined, so did the once vibrant economy. Gone are many of the thriving businesses, but not forgotten. Wednesday, local officials unveiled a series of kiosks that highlight the history of Binghamton and its economic hey-day.
"I feel like they add a feeling of community, a sense of community, this is how our city was formed, this is what we have to offer you as a visitor to our downtown, to our city," said Nicole Howard, Gorgeous Washington Street Association.
Three signs were erected on three different corners in downtown and in addition to detailing the history of the area, also serve as a directory to current businesses with the hope of attracting new customers.
"This is really an opportunity, an economic development opportunity that fits in with our idea of beautifying the Court Street gateway, beautifying our whole city so people will want to come here and enjoy what we have to offer," Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan said.
But beautification is just a start. Business people say the next step is finding the right people to take initiative to continue to bring Binghamton back.
Howard said, "There are so many store fronts, so many empty store fronts that are just begging to have somebody come in and revitalize and bring something additional to our city."
It will likely never be a major manufacturing hub like it once was, but business leaders do believe there is potential for another reinvention of downtown

Fun with Hardware
From 64-bit servers to console conversion projects, your Linux platform choices are better than ever.
by Don Marti
Running Linux makes you smarter, and we've got proof. In his article on Nagios on page 52, Richard C. Harlan explains how John Deere integrated its diverse server management needs under the thumb of one Linux-based project, for a small budget.
Other cluetrain-riding people at a variety of companies talked to Doc Searls about the new balance of innovation power between informed Linux-using customers and their vendors (page 38). Freedom is changing companies behind the scenes, and thanks to your discreet tips, Doc is watching it better than anyone.
This issue also includes the year's best Linux hardware news so far. The big cheeses of the information technology industry are building servers based on AMD's new AMD64 architecture, which you may know as linux/arch/x86_64. In an interview on tazaa.info, AMD CEO Hector Ruiz included Linux as one of only two "operating systems that matter", and our favorite OS was the first one released for AMD64.
You can get an idea of AMD64's abilities, and those of the Newisys two-way server that's among the first Opteron products on the market, in Michael Baxter's first look on page 58. Michael is the man to ask about Linux in the electronic design automation industry, and the new AMD architecture is already attracting attention from Cadence and others as a way to replace expensive 64-bit RISC UNIX.
Our other featured hardware article this issue covers Microsoft's Xbox video game system. On page 44, Michael Steil explains how making the Xbox run Linux is not only fun but actually useful. Try it. Upgrading an Xbox is a great way to learn about the boot process and is cheaper than a single-board computer for hobbyist embedded projects. Cut back on the coffee the day you solder those two little pads together, though.
If your web site uses free software exclusively, you might not realize how big of a deal CMF for Zope (page 14) really is. Proprietary content management systems have high-priced licenses and still require you to do substantial customizing. This might be the article that makes you a web hero at work, so pay attention.
This issue also hosts a cross-platform development-tool cage bout. Will your next project use the promising new Mono (page 74) or the reliable wxWindows (page 90)? Both are free as in Dmitry, so you can easily try both. Finally, contributor Josh Rabinowitz told me that he got hooked on using the man page index, shown in his article "How to Index Anything" (page 82), before he was even done with the article. Imagine searching all your man pages, Linux Journal archive CDs and old mail with one tool. I'm going to try it out.
Don Marti is editor in chief of Linux Journal.
Re: www.linuxcad.com
Troll. We've all read the horror stories of LinuxCAD users. You have to spend a whole lot more than what you're indicating to get it to work properly (more modules needed) and even then it's a piece of crap.
AutoCAD is not free software, but it's extremely high quality software. You do people a disservice when you offer a less than satisfactory alternative.
Only two operating systems that matter ?
At a time when plenty operating systems (free or proprietary) exist, Hector Ruiz has the nerve to say that only two of those matter. What a lack of vision from the CEO of a company that has been struggling over the years to stay afloat and that resorts to the scam of performance rating just to mislead customers.
Open Source and Open Standards
With Linus over at OSDL, does this mean the formalization of the Linux development process:
Re: From the Editor, July 2003: Fun with Hardware
OK, so the technology is great, but to what uses to put:
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Making Sense of One Dollar CEO SalariesSophia J. W. HammOhio State University (OSU) - Fisher College of Business Michael J. JungNew York University - Leonard N. Stern School of Business Clare WangNorthwestern University - Kellogg School of Management May 3, 2013 Abstract: We examine the determinants and consequences of CEOs accepting a $1 salary, a high-profile compensation practice debated by regulators, investors, and the business press. Using a hand-collected sample of 92 CEOs from 90 firms between 1993 and 2011, we document two distinct categories of CEOs: those opting into a compensation agreement that aims to better align CEO and shareholder interests, and those attempting to show sacrifice during a difficult time for the firm. A commonality between both categories is that many of the CEOs are also the chairman of the board, a founder of the firm, or both. However, the major differences are that CEOs in the first category, on average, receive more stock options, and stock returns after the $1 salary decisions are generally higher for firms in the first category, benefitting the CEOs (in terms of in-the-money options) and shareholders. Our analyses shed light on an interesting debate that has thus far been supported on both sides only by anecdotal evidence.

Establishment of the Spanish Inquisition (Chronology of European History)
Article abstract: The establishment of the Spanish Inquisition allows the Catholic Church to prosecute converted Jews suspected of heresy, but is soon expanded to enforce orthodoxy by pursuing converted Muslims, alleged witches, Protestants, and others within Spain for more than three hundred years.
Summary of Event
The term "inquisition" denotes the judicial persecution of heretics by special church courts. The so-called Spanish Inquisition differed from other such tribunals in that it was directly under the authority of the Crown, but it was not the first inquisition to operate in Spain. Although no medieval inquisition was ever organized in the kingdom of Castile, one had been founded in the kingdom of Aragon in 1233 to combat the Catharist religion centered in neighboring France. By the fourteenth century, few traces of heresy remained among Iberian Christians, and since the inquisition had no jurisdiction over unbaptized Jews and Muslims, it almost ceased to function. In its place, Spain's crusading Christians focused on the "Reconquest" of southern regions still occupied by Muslims.
While Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and from France in 1306, they were allowed limited rights to reside in Spain until 1492. When Jewish communities grew and prospered, however, anti-Semitism became increasingly widespread. After Barcelona and other cities experienced terrible pogroms in 1391, thousands...

Want to remaster Ubuntu, but how?
Hello, i remaster many times Debian/UBuntus... and with this distros the remastering is a easy task.
But remastering is a tremendous work for any person, and each distro and each environment - Gnome Xfce KDE requires different methods (paths, scripts,) of remasering.
In the last remasters i choose Xubuntu because Gnome is a new method and in development, and KDE is weighted to old pcs (pcs with more than 7 years).
You can choose others environmets like openbox, iceWm etc... but you must choose a solid base system if you choose an ubuntu and put Xfce and then proceed to remaster you allways need install the xubuntu interface so you need a good base distro to remaster.
I f you choose Xubuntu you easily can remaster him in 2 days.
In Ubuntu this is possible because exists tools with GUI mode to remastering - i suggest the most better tool is -> http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html many distros use this tool to proceed to do the final ISO of distro concept.
You can add remastersys (install) to your Buntu with the method of repository on sources list.
As root - issue 'sudo su' in the terminal window prior to the following command.
Download and apply the repository gpg key.
wget -O - http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key | apt-key add -
Open your -> /etc/apt/sources.list and add your repo for example for an Ubuntu 12.04 is
#Remastersys Precise
deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main
Now just apt-get update
So before you use remastersys i put in follow lines the method i use to remaster xubuntu->
Certify you use a clean base to remaster (without an /home path with data of you etc), i suggest you down xubuntu install and start the reamster process with follow lines before use remastersys.
1- Install Remastersys
2- Make your custom configs, like install some program you have intention the final ISO have etc, scripts (put on a ./) path on home, conky options etc...
For example
If you need put some new Icons pack on your future ISO->
Down or make the icons and put them on /usr/share/icons
If you need put some new Themes on your future ISO ->
Down or make the theme and puit them on /usr/share/themes
If you want custom the appearance background of LightDm you need open with leafpad or other text editor ->
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and edit the follow line
background=/your path i suggest /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/your image
If you want change the avatar of login session on the login of xubuntu you need change the image in->
DOnt change the name of svg file maintain computer.svg (simply create one image in svg format on gimp and repalce the existent.
If you want change the skins of avantwindownavigator or cairo or other search the folder of this tools on /usr/share
example /usr/share/avant-window-navigator and put here your theme of AWN in the inside folder "themes".
If you want decorate firefox with your own startpage you can do one and put the content on / example= /startpage
Or simply redifining the startpage on firefox, to when users open firefox open certainly page (like your blog or other maybe Linux.com)
PLymouth make your plymouth or change the existent on /usr/lib/plymouth/themes
and install the new with this commands
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/"name"plymouth/"name"plymouth 100
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
choose your preferred
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub2
Make other design customs...
3- probably you use many times terminal so you dont like if your final ISO go out with lines you put on terminal and commands so you need clean the history of terminal each time you open terminal and put orders to clean terminal history uses->
history -c
In Xubuntu the terminal have a problem i dont have idea how solve - the terminal have allways the history, is a little problem maybe if you use tilda with terminal this problem is solved.
4-m the big Step-> /etc/skel this is the path with the responsability to define the next definitions of your distro (is like the next user home environment)
so open terminal open your window manager (example sudo thunar) and do this:
Copy all content in your /home path to /etc/skel.
include the ./conky , ./scripts (only if you have a properly config of conky for example)
I suggest to you try verify if in your home dont have any data, private data to dont spread private content of you to others.
5- Now open once more terminal and put this command on terminal
sudo chown -R root /etc/skel
And now
history -c (to clean the history of terminal)
6- Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7- OPen remastersys and choose DistIso mode and leave the program work in make your ISO.
When he stop if you go to your /home/remastersys you see you new ISO.
- IN remastersys you can change the name of your future ISO the user of live session etc, so take a good look in this extraordynary program.
Please if you spread in net you ISO refer the remastersys tool, because without he you cant make your ISO so easily.
An example of Remasters, my remasters->

Who says smart kids can't have social skills?
Andrew Stricklin, a 17-year-old Lone Oak High School senior, smashes that stereotype. For starters, Stricklin is a founding member of the Paducah Ultimate Frisbee League, which convenes at Noble Park.
He's also active in community-based 5K runs. Stricklin earned first place in his division in the Starfish Orphan Ministry 5K in 2009 and second place in his division in the United Way 5K in 2010.
Stricklin also was chosen for the Future Physicians program at Lourdes hospital, where he worked as an intern over the summer observing heart catheter insertions, surgeries and emergency room medicine.
Stricklin is an Eagle Scout, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. To earn his Eagle rank, Stricklin planned and led the renovation of a garden and patio area at Easter Seals West Kentucky. He and his crew stained the concrete on the patio to reduce glare, creating a more eye-friendly environment for the clients.
As a Troop 1 Eagle Scout, Stricklin served as a model for the "100 years of Scouting" mural depicted on the floodwall.
"We have a lot of tradition," Stricklin said of Troop 1. "We're the seventh-oldest chartered troop continuously in the nation."
For his Eagle Scout project at Easter Seals, Stricklin earned a Duke of Paducah Award for Community Service and Kentucky Colonel Award for Benevolence and Community Service, both in 2009.
He is also active in his church, First Baptist Church of Paducah. He has participated in several mission trips, including a 2009 trip to Williamsburg in eastern Kentucky. He's planning his next mission trip to Honduras in the spring. Stricklin also is involved with Kentucky Changers, a Baptist volunteer group that aids low-income, disabled or otherwise less-fortunate families with exterior home repairs. First Baptist is hosting the Changers in June. Stricklin plans to help the visiting volunteers as much as possible.
Troop 1 Assistant Scoutmaster Jimmy Kiser said that's typical of Stricklin.
"Along with his leadership skills, he really cares about people and does the right thing," Kiser said.
Stricklin also is involved in cross country, track and field, and academic team.
Despite such widespread participation in community events and extracurricular activities, Stricklin still manages to shine in the classroom. He boasts a 3.87 grade-point average and a near-perfect 35 ACT composite score.
Andrew Stricklin, son of David and Toni Stricklin, is the Murray State University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MSU Teen of the Week selected from nominees submitted by high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois. In May, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners, earning a $5,000 scholarship to Murray State. Teen of the Week is part of the Sun's Newspapers in Education program.
Stricklin's passion is chemistry. He plans to attend Centre College in Danville or Union University in Jackson, Tenn., then continue on to graduate school, although he's not yet sure which career path he'll follow after obtaining a degree. To see Stricklin explain a chemical engineering project he's involved with through the University of Kentucky College of Engineering Paducah campus, watch the video interview at paducahsun.com.
Lone Oak High School English teacher Stephanie Carter said Stricklin serves as an ideal role model for younger students.
"In addition to his exemplar grades, Andrew shows himself to be respectful and respectable in his day to day dealings with his classmates and his teachers," Carter said. "Andrew is the ideal student, always conscientious of the example he sets and the reputation he upholds."

Deanna Carter & Daisy Siskin
You don't need a fancy kit or special pots to start your own seeds. All you need are some newspapers and a little tape. Then you'll have dozens of biodegradable pots ready for your favorite plants. Here's how to make them:
1. Take a sheet of newspaper and cut it in half and then fourths. (You might try cutting several layers at once to save time, but use only one layer per pot.)
2. Take a small round container (we used a spice jar). Roll the paper around it, leaving about an inch of overhang at one end. Don't roll it too tightly, or it will be hard to get the jar out later.
3. Fold the overhang in, as if you were wrapping a present. Then seal with tape. (Masking tape is more biodegradable than other kinds.)
4. Remove the jar and then fold in the edges all around the top. This helps with stability and gives you a shorter pot.
5. Repeat until you have all the pots you want!

I just downloaded and ran Performance Test 7 on my HP dv2945 SE. It ran fine, but it did not run the directx tests because it said directx10 was not installed.
So I installed directx10,and then reinstalled PT7. (The install made a note that it was modifying the directx files.)
Now I get the error "The 3D test was interrupted or there was an error during the rendering of the 3D scene. The results for this test will not be used." ***(see edit)
I am a registered user of PT6, and PT6.1 runs just fine, albeit the scores are lower than in 7.
So what do I have to do to get PT7 to run with out getting the 3D test error?
***Edit: and then the next window says "No DirectX 10 capable video device found." My nvida card doesn't support directx10? :0

Dymethazine seems to be getting good reviews my question is what product can or would you take with it to prevent shutdown,
Nothing will prevent shutdown on a steroid cycle, bottom line.
you can try using using Sustain Alpha during your cycle. 3 days on 3 days off for the duration of the cycle. There is a thread in here about that. I've pesonally used this protocol and it works very well.
HCG. keeps you producing your test naturally. Once your off cycle you just have to get your LH to respond naturally and then you will be producing test again.

Orissa calls for your generosity
It's raining floods in India. After Bihar, it's our north-eastern state Orissa, that underwent the wrath of nature (in partnership with climate change). While we saw a reasonable response in supporting the Bihar flood relief (in terms of cloths and money), there has been far less effort to reach out to the flood-affected in Orissa. It's time to make amends. This post describes ways of contributing [including online donation] to the relief work being carried out by AID Orissa, which works closely with NGO Pratham, the government and other local partners. It also mentions who to contact for donating cloths, in B'lore and elsewhere.
8 Comments
[Update on AID Bangalore's collection drive] The date of dispatching the relief materials to Orissa has been pushed back. Now, you can reach cloths, etc. to us till Oct 21 (the next Tuesday).
[Latest Update] We have planned to combine our cloths collection drive with toys and books (for kids and adults) that people no longer need. Whatever toys you donate/collect will be directed to Toybank (http://www.toybank.co.in/) and the books to Akshara Foundation (http://www.aksharafoundation.org/) and/or old age homes (http://ngopost.org/story.php?title=Old_age_homes_in_Bangalore), all well known in the NGO circle.
My sister in law is pursuing this with her apartment. Hoping something positive comes of it. If we don't get enough material by this weekend do you have any plans of sending in near future for Orissa?
Some arrangement can definitely be made. We may even give a day or two more if some people are certain about contributing. The best thing is to do it this weekend.
I think it is very difficult with such short notice. Will ask her to ping you in case she is able to.
Sure. We will do our best to accommodate her stuff. In case she misses this one, her cloths collection can always be utilized in Karnataka through the likes of the R K foundation.
R K Foundation is the default if we have no other place to give the clothes. A post on the same -

If you are organized and planed your meals in advance this will work. If you are a last minute planer (ahem, me!) this little marinade will work too.

When my wife and I went into this home, we noticed that all 4 toilets had a black gunk (for lack of a better word) in the toilet bowl drain. They are completely empty except for this black stuff. I wish we would have looked in the tanks. It isn't in any other drain in the house that we can see. The listing agent says the toilets have been winterized. The house has been vacant for about 6 months now. Is this a serious issue? Any idea what it could be? Thanks for your help. | |||
Doubtful that it's serious, most likely just a by-product of a dry toilet that has not been used in a while. Any toilet is going to develop 'scum' over a period of time. Not enough to ever be noticed. But if it stops being used and flushed on a regular basis there is bound to be some residue. The same is true if there had been some anti-freeze added to the tank and bowl - over time and non-use some of it will become not too pretty. Jaybee | ||||
Not serious - probably just some minerals that stained the toilet once the water evaporated. CLR or bleach should take care of it. | ||||
Could be black mold or even chemicals from water supply reacting in any galvanized pipes. Especially might be the case if you are on well water (similar thing happened to a friend who left their rural home vacant for a summer). With regular use of the water, the issue should go away...after cleaning of course.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Conrad, | ||||

Project: ELoC
Empirical analysis of local coherence processing in sentence comprehension (ELoC)
Brief Description
Language processing is among the most complex and most enlightening cognitive skills. This project focuses on local coherences in sentences, i.e. substrings in the sentence that can form sentences by themselves in isolation. (E.g. "Hans, dem Peter überrascht den Dieb zeigt, ruft die Polizei." Local coherence: Peter überrascht den Dieb.). Local coherences have not received much attention yet, regardless of the language. They are important because processing evidence could suggest a paradigm shift towards the dynamical systems approach. We are particularly interested in the levels (surface, syntax, semantics) at which local coherences are processed. We will address this issue with three experimental paradigms: eye-tracking while reading, visual world, and online anomaly detection. Inter-individual processing differences will be related to executive and working-memory variables that will provide a profound insight into the underlying architecture and mechanisms.

Back to Basics
In short I've been travelling a lot, and spending much needed time working on my Arabic in beautiful Lebanon. The Middle East with its recent chaos has treated me well as usual, and I even got to go to Syria before it got really bad. Needless to say we'll be watching closely with our breaths held in anticipation. My heart goes out to the brave people of the Arab world who are fighting for their freedom and equality.
To get back online, I thought I'd post the recent article in Brown Book Magazine. Way back last Summer, I did a photoshoot with Gabriela Maj, a talented writer and photographer who was on one of her first trips to Afghanistan. Check out her article on Zarif Designs!

Stephanie's yoga classes were a big hit during my pregnancy. I was not doing any exercise and was finding it tough to deal with back pain and some pregnancy blues. But then I followed her classes and did yoga regularly following her instructions and found a great difference... it was very nice doing yoga... my stress level seemed to go down, it felt good for my lower back as well and it gave me strength to spend time with my elder child. Good yoga for everyone:-) Saleema, PhD Québec
I did yoga with Stephanie before and during my pregnancy. I really enjoyed my yoga classes with her, an excellent teacher. She is awesome! She explains all the poses very well and helps us do them correctly. She is also great in giving us alternatives to decrease or increase the level of difficulty. She listens to our needs. For example, when I was pregnant, she suggested poses which helped relieve pregnancy-related discomfort (eg, sciatic nerve, back pain). I recommend her anytime! Jacinthe, PhD Québec

Sometimes shows go on a bit too long after losing direction or inspiration before they are cancelled. The X-Files, Alias, and Twin Peaks come to mind. But then sometimes they cancel a show while it's still in its creative prime.
One show that comes to mind in that regard is Lie To Me. Based, if loosely, on actual science, this show about a human lie detector had a number of well-defined and fascinating characters. Tim Roth played Cal Lightman, a behavioral psychologist specializing in microexpressions, especially as regards telling if someone is being truthful. Kelli Williams played his partner, a psychologist specializing in body language. Among the supporting characters, the standout for me was the luminous Hayley McFarland who played his daughter, the one person who had the power to read and confound him. Although she sometimes displayed the bad judgment and recklessness of youth, she could also display a wisdom well beyond her year when it came to her father.
I really miss this show. If you're unfamiliar with it and have Netflix, watch it there.
What is your story? (Let's stick with programs recent enough that someone in college today might have seen them.)
Brisco County Jr. was a steampunk western with Bruce Campbell. It ran 4 or 5 episodes, then was canceled. I was sadly disappointed.
Holy crap! Wikipedia says there were 27 episodes! I wonder if I can find them online...

I doubt anybody will know what this is, but The Oblongs was the greatest animated show I've ever seen. It only lasted 13 episodes, but it was so funny. It starred Will Ferrell and Jean Smart in a show about a mutant family living under powerlines.
