Skype is supporting WWF's Earth Hour on Saturday March 28 at 8.30pm
In 2007, 2.2 million homes and businesses in Sydney switched off their lights for an hour, and within a year, the event grew into a global sustainability movement.
Last year, 50 million people switched off their lights. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
This year, WWF has an even more ambitious target. To help them reach it, join Skype and vote earth. The result of the vote will be presented to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen later this year, and WWF are hoping to get 1 billion votes for Earth.
We'll be turning off all of our office lights for the hour, and Skype employees across the globe will be joining in – and we hope that you do the same.
It's our opportunity to demonstrate to world leaders that we care about tackling climate change – calling on them to take action to save the planet for future generations.
So don't forget Earth Hour: 8:30pm local time, wherever you live on planet earth. Saturday 28 March 2009.

Male hypogonadism
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/male-hypogonadism/DS00300
Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough testosterone, the hormone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty.
You may be born with male hypogonadism, or it can develop later in life from injury or infection. The effects — and what you can do about them — depend on the cause and at what point in your life male hypogonadism occurs. Some types of male hypogonadism can be treated with testosterone replacement therapy.
Male reproductive system |
Hypogonadism can begin during fetal development, before puberty or during adulthood. Signs and symptoms depend on when the condition develops.
Fetal development
If the body doesn't produce enough testosterone during fetal development, the result may be impaired growth of the external sex organs. Depending on when hypogonadism develops, and how much testosterone is present, a child who is genetically male may be born with:
- Female genitals
- Ambiguous genitals — genitals that are neither clearly male nor clearly female
- Underdeveloped male genitals
Male hypogonadism may delay puberty or cause incomplete or lack of normal development. It can cause:
- Decreased development of muscle mass
- Lack of deepening of the voice
- Impaired growth of body hair
- Impaired growth of the penis and testicles
- Excessive growth of the arms and legs in relation to the trunk of the body
- Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
In adult males, hypogonadism may alter certain masculine physical characteristics and impair normal reproductive function. Signs and symptoms may include:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Infertility
- Decrease in beard and body hair growth
- Decrease in muscle mass
- Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
- Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis)
Hypogonadism can also cause mental and emotional changes. As testosterone decreases, some men may experience symptoms similar to those of menopause in women. These may include:
- Fatigue
- Decreased sex drive
- Difficulty concentrating
- Hot flashes
When to see a doctor
See a doctor if you have any symptoms of male hypogonadism. Establishing the cause of hypogonadism is an important first step to getting appropriate treatment.
Pituitary gland and hypothalamus |
Male hypogonadism means the testicles don't produce enough of the male sex hormone testosterone. There are two basic types of hypogonadism:
- Primary. This type of hypogonadism — also known as primary testicular failure — originates from a problem in the testicles.
- Secondary. This type of hypogonadism indicates a problem in the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland — parts of the brain that signal the testicles to produce testosterone. The hypothalamus produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which signals the pituitary gland to make follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone then signals the testes to produce testosterone.
Either type of hypogonadism may be caused by an inherited (congenital) trait or something that happens later in life (acquired), such as an injury or an infection.
Primary hypogonadism
Common causes of primary hypogonadism include:
- Klinefelter syndrome. This condition results from a congenital abnormality of the sex chromosomes, X and Y. A male normally has one X and one Y chromosome. In Klinefelter syndrome, two or more X chromosomes are present in addition to one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains the genetic material that determines the sex of a child and related development. The extra X chromosome that occurs in Klinefelter syndrome causes abnormal development of the testicles, which in turn results in underproduction of testosterone.
- Undescended testicles. Before birth, the testicles develop inside the abdomen and normally move down into their permanent place in the scrotum. Sometimes one or both of the testicles may not be descended at birth. This condition often corrects itself within the first few years of life without treatment. If not corrected in early childhood, it may lead to malfunction of the testicles and reduced production of testosterone.
- Mumps orchitis. If a mumps infection involving the testicles in addition to the salivary glands (mumps orchitis) occurs during adolescence or adulthood, long-term testicular damage may occur. This may affect normal testicular function and testosterone production.
- Hemochromatosis. Too much iron in the blood can cause testicular failure or pituitary gland dysfunction affecting testosterone production.
- Injury to the testicles. Because they're situated outside the abdomen, the testicles are prone to injury. Damage to normally developed testicles can cause hypogonadism. Damage to one testicle may not impair total testosterone production.
- Cancer treatment. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer can interfere with testosterone and sperm production. The effects of both treatments often are temporary, but permanent infertility may occur. Although many men regain their fertility within a few months after treatment ends, preserving sperm before starting cancer therapy is an option that many men consider.
Secondary hypogonadism
In secondary hypogonadism, the testicles are normal but function improperly due to a problem with the pituitary or hypothalamus. A number of conditions can cause secondary hypogonadism, including:
- Kallmann syndrome. Abnormal development of the hypothalamus — the area of the brain that controls the secretion of pituitary hormones — can cause hypogonadism. This abnormality is also associated with impaired development of the ability to smell (anosmia) and red-green color blindness.
- Pituitary disorders. An abnormality in the pituitary gland can impair the release of hormones from the pituitary gland to the testicles, affecting normal testosterone production. A pituitary tumor or other type of brain tumor located near the pituitary gland may cause testosterone or other hormone deficiencies. Also, the treatment for a brain tumor, such as surgery or radiation therapy, may impair pituitary function and cause hypogonadism.
- Inflammatory disease. Certain inflammatory diseases, such as sarcoidosis, histiocytosis and tuberculosis, involve the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and can affect testosterone production, causing hypogonadism.
- HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS can cause low levels of testosterone by affecting the hypothalamus, the pituitary and the testes.
- Medications. The use of certain drugs, such as opiate pain medications and some hormones, can affect testosterone production.
- Obesity. Being significantly overweight at any age may be linked to hypogonadism.
- Normal aging. Older men generally have lower testosterone levels than younger men do. As men age, there's a slow and continuous decrease in testosterone production. The rate at which testosterone declines varies greatly among men. As many as 30 percent of men older than 75 have a testosterone level that's below normal, according to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. Whether treatment is necessary remains a matter of debate.
Risk factors
Risk factors for hypogonadism include:
- Kallmann syndrome
- Undescended testicles as an infant
- Mumps infection affecting your testicles
- Injury to your testicles
- Testicular or pituitary tumors
- Klinefelter syndrome
- Hemochromatosis
- Previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Hypogonadism can be inherited. If any of these risk factors are in your family health history, tell your doctor.
The complications of untreated hypogonadism differ depending on what age it first develops — during fetal development, puberty or adulthood.
Fetal development
A baby may be born with:
- Ambiguous genitalia
- Abnormal genitalia
Pubertal development can be delayed or incomplete, resulting in:
- Diminished or lack of beard and body hair
- Impaired penis and testicle growth
- Unproportional growth, usually increased length, of arms and legs compared with the trunk
- Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia)
Complications may include:
- Infertility
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased sex drive
- Fatigue
- Muscle loss or weakness
- Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia)
- Decreased beard and body hair growth
- Osteoporosis
Preparing for your appointment
Although you're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or general practitioner, you may need to consult an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in the hormone-producing (endocrine) glands. If your primary care doctor suspects you have male hypogondism, he or she may refer you to an endocrinologist. Or, you may ask for a referral.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and to know what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
- Write down key personal information, including any major stresses, recent life changes and history of childhood illnesses or surgeries.
- Make a list of all medications, as well as any vitamins or supplements, that you're taking.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions for your doctor will help you make the most of your time together. For male hypogonadism, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What's the most likely cause of my symptoms?
- Are there other possible causes for my symptoms?
- What kinds of tests do I need? Do these tests require any special preparation?
- Is my condition likely temporary or chronic?
- What treatments are available?
- What are the side effects of each treatment?
- What treatment do you feel would be best for me?
- What are the alternatives to the primary approach that you're suggesting?
- I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Are there any restrictions that I need to follow?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend?
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you have.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
- When did you begin experiencing symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous, or occasional?
- How severe are your symptoms?
- What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?
- What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?
- When did you begin puberty? Did it seem to be earlier or later than your peers?
- Did you have any growth problems as a child or adolescent?
- Have you experienced any testicular trauma?
- What about head trauma?
- Did you have the mumps as a child or teen? Do you recall if you felt pain in your testicles while you had the mumps?
- Did you have undescended testicles as a baby?
- Did you have surgery for a groin hernia or genital surgery as a child?
Tests and diagnosis
Your doctor will conduct a physical exam during which he or she will note whether your sexual development, such as your pubic hair, muscle mass and size of your testes, is consistent with your age. Your doctor may test your blood level of testosterone if you have any of the signs or symptoms of hypogonadism. Early detection in boys can help prevent problems from delayed puberty. Early diagnosis and treatment in men offer better protection against osteoporosis and other related conditions.
Doctors base a diagnosis of hypogonadism on symptoms and results of blood tests that measure testosterone levels. Because testosterone levels vary and are generally highest in the morning, blood testing is usually done early in the day.
If tests confirm you have low testosterone, further testing can determine if a testicular disorder or a pituitary abnormality is the cause. Based on specific signs and symptoms, additional studies can pinpoint the cause. These studies may include:
- Hormone testing
- Semen analysis
- Pituitary imaging
- Genetic studies
- Testicular biopsy
Testosterone testing also plays an important role in managing hypogonadism. This helps your doctor determine the right dosage of medication, both initially and over time.
Treatments and drugs
Treatment for adults
Treatment for male hypogonadism depends on the cause and whether you're concerned about fertility.
Hormone replacement. For hypogonadism caused by testicular failure, doctors use male hormone replacement (testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT). TRT can restore sexual function and muscle strength and prevent bone loss. In addition, men receiving TRT often experience an increase in energy, sex drive and sense of well-being.
If a pituitary problem is the cause, pituitary hormones may stimulate sperm production and restore fertility. Testosterone replacement therapy can be used if fertility isn't an issue. A pituitary tumor may require surgical removal, medication, radiation or the replacement of other hormones.
- Assisted reproduction. Although there's often no effective treatment to restore fertility in a man with primary hypogonadism, assisted reproductive technology may be helpful. This technology covers a variety of techniques designed to help couples who have been unsuccessful in achieving conception.
Treatment for boys
In boys, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can stimulate puberty and the development of secondary sex characteristics, such as increased muscle mass, beard and pubic hair growth, and growth of the penis. Pituitary hormones may be used to stimulate testicle growth. An initial low dose of testosterone with gradual increases may help to avoid adverse effects and more closely mimic the slow increase in testosterone that occurs during puberty.
Types of testosterone replacement therapy
Several testosterone delivery methods exist. Choosing a specific therapy depends on your preference of a particular delivery system, the side effects and the cost. Methods include:
- Injection. Testosterone injections are safe and effective. Injections are given in a muscle about every two weeks. Your symptoms may come and go between doses. You or a family member can learn to give TRT injections at home. If you're uncomfortable giving yourself injections, a nurse or doctor can give the injections.
- Patch. A patch containing testosterone (Androderm) is applied each night to your back, abdomen, upper arm or thigh. The site of the application is rotated to maintain seven-day intervals between applications to the same site, to lessen skin reactions.
- Gel. You rub testosterone gel (AndroGel, Testim) into your skin on your lower abdomen, upper arm or shoulder. As the gel dries, your body absorbs testosterone through your skin. Gel application of testosterone replacement therapy appears to cause fewer skin reactions than patches do. Don't shower or bathe for several hours after a gel application, to be sure it gets absorbed. A potential side effect of the gel is the possibility of transferring the medication to your partner. You can avoid this by avoiding skin-to-skin contact until the gel is completely dry or by covering the area after an application.
- Gum and cheek (buccal cavity). Striant, a small putty-like substance, delivers testosterone through the natural depression above your top teeth where your gum meets your upper lip (buccal cavity). This product quickly sticks to your gumline and, as it is exposed to saliva, softens into a gel-like form, allowing testosterone to be absorbed into your bloodstream.
- Oral. Taking testosterone orally isn't recommended for long-term hormone replacement, because it may cause liver problems, raise your cholesterol and increase your risk of heart disease.
Coping and support
- Prevent osteoporosis. If hypogonadism occurs during adulthood, make lifestyle and dietary changes to prevent osteoporosis. Regular exercise and adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D to maintain bone strength are important to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. The Institute of Medicine recommends 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium and 600 international units (IUs) of vitamin D a day for men ages 19 to 70. That recommendation increases to 1,200 mg of calcium and 800 IUs of vitamin D a day for men age 71 and older. Talk to your doctor about dietary guidelines that are appropriate for you.
- Learn about erectile dysfunction or infertility. The conditions caused by hypogonadism can cause psychological and relationship problems. Know what to expect from these conditions and what to do if new or uncomfortable feelings develop between you and your partner.
- Reduce stress. Talk with your doctor about how you can reduce the anxiety and stress that often accompany these conditions. Many men benefit from psychological or family counseling. Support groups can help people with hypogonadism and related conditions cope with similar situations and challenges. Helping your family understand the diagnosis of hypogonadism also is important.
- Allow time to adjust. Adolescents with hypogonadism may feel as if they don't fit in. Testosterone replacement therapy will trigger puberty. When given at a slow pace that allows time for adjustment to physical changes and new feelings, the therapy decreases the chance of social or emotional problems.

Mysterious Alaska Pyramid Fears Said Behind US Nuke Test
Mysterious Alaska Pyramid Fears Said Behind US Nuke Test
An interesting report prepared by the Aerospace Defence Forces circulating in the Kremlin today states that the "subcritical" nuclear test conducted by the United States last Wednesday (5 December) was in preparation for a much larger atomic explosion being planned by the Americans whose fears are rising over the "sudden" emergence of a mysterious underground pyramid in Alaska believed to be rising to the surface.
According to Western news sources confirming this atomic explosion, on 6 December, the United States National Nuclear Security Administration posted on their website that a day earlier it had conducted "Pollux," the US's 27th subcritical nuclear experiment since signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

Super Mario steps aside and lets his brother take the spotlight in New Super Luigi U.
Luigi has a floaty quality that adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay, requiring you to rethink how you approach each level.
The 82 courses will look familiar to anyone who has played New Super Mario Bros. U, but you now only have 100 seconds to complete each one, while getting used to Luigi's higher and longer jumps, slower movement and fondness for floating.
Originally available as downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U, you can now buy New Super Luigi U as a standalone game with no need to own the original.
There's also a new playable character in multi-player mode: Nabbit, who steals items from Toad Houses. Nabbit can't power up, but also won't take damage when he touches enemies.

If you're a real gamer, there's no finer way to take control of your Wii games than with the extra analogue stick and buttons presented by the Wii Nunchuk, and getting an extra one of each allows you and a friend to enjoy co-operative or competitive gaming on a level playing field!
Pikmin 3 is full of family fun that will have everyone enjoying playing together.
Explore the Pikmin planet and learn about the cute aliens' powers, so they can help you find the food you need to survive and the pieces of technology that will ultimately help you escape back to Earth.
Pikmin 3 is much more action-oriented than its predecessors in the franchise, and also has a greater amount of variety when it comes to strategy. This is helped with the versatility of how you wish to play the game, as you can play with the Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck combo, where shaking the Wii remote throws your Pikmin, and shaking the Nunchuck makes your Pikmin charge.
You can use the Wii U's Game Pad also, as it acts as an overhead map and radar, allowing you to track your Pikmin's actions in real time. Controlling multiple groups of Pikmin at once is also easier thanks to the Game Pad, making gameplay more fluid, as players can slide a finger across the touch screen to instantly switch between areas of the MAP.
The amount of versatility offered when it comes to your personal play style with Pikmin 3 is improved with how intuitive the controls are, as now you can aim at objects directly, and can command your Pikmin armies in various different ways, depending on your strategy's current requirements.
The Game Pad also offers a replay feature when a player completes a stage, where it shows the entire map at once with the ability to fast forward, pause and rewind, so the player can rewatch the decisions and actions they made throughout the day and re-evaluate their strategy based upon that.

Racing Transformed has, literally, transformed the way Sonic and the Sega All-Stars characters race, as now their karts transform into boats and planes when the terrain gives way to water or air. The tracks themselves are based upon retro Sega games, and they also change; the Panzer Dragoon inspired track Dragon Canyon has a dragon that roams the MAP and destroys a bridge early on in the race. This therefore forces the players to continue racing around the track either via their planes or boats, and means that every track has endless possibilities and versatility when it comes to gameplay. Each track also has many possible routes to take, including a number of shortcuts to be found throughout, offering a great deal of re-playability for each course.

GE's diverse product offering insulates the company's stock price from great sensitivity to any one particular market. However, we have identified key business segments that will be key to GE's future growth. Below are the key drivers of GE's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to our price estimate:
General Electric (GE) is one of the largest and most diversified technology and financial services corporations in the world, with company revenues exceeding $147 billion in 2011.
GE's business offerings include products and services related to aircraft engines, power generation, water processing, household appliances, medical imaging, business and consumer financing and industrial products. GE serves customers in more than 100 countries and employs approximately 287,000 people worldwide.
The technology infrastructure division is the largest contributor to the firm's total value, while the energy infrastructure division is the second largest. The key drivers for these two divisions are:
GE's Oil & Gas division manufactures equipment such as surface and subsea drilling and production systems, equipment for floating production platforms, compressors, turbines, turboexpanders, high pressure reactors, industrial power generation and a broad portfolio of auxiliary equipment. This division had a global market share of approximately 4.7% in 2012. We estimate that by the end of our forecast period GE's oil & gas market share will reach 5.8%. The emergence of horizontal drilling, improvements in fracture stimulation and 3-D seismic technology to target and recover gas from shale and other reservoirs indicate a growing potential for equipment manufacturers. GE, with end to end manufacturing capability, is well positioned to capitalize on this growth.
The key growth drivers for a long-term increase in power generation are continued growth of the world population and sustained growth in purchasing power in emerging economies. Because of the environmental effects of coal-based energy, the newer capacity coming online is expected to be from cleaner sources of electricity such as natural gas, wind and solar. Governments worldwide have announced subsidies and tax benefits to support power generation through newer and cleaner sources such as wind, solar and nuclear. Huge investments are also expected to strengthen the weak power transmission and distribution infrastructure in emerging economies.
We expect that an eventual recovery in global economic conditions will lead to healthy growth in passenger and cargo traffic, and consequently growth in demand for commercial aircraft. The recently released aircraft delivery statistics from Boeing and Airbus show that the delivery numbers have been stable from last year's numbers. This shows that the recovery signs in the global aviation industry are not weak and a turnaround may be near. The low cost carrier, or LCC, is a fast growing segment in the short/medium haul markets and is increasingly becoming the faster alternative to other modes of transportation such as railways. LCC growth is primarily a consequence of increased liberalization in the commercial aviation industry which has reduced barriers to entry for regional and private players. This is especially true for emerging economies such as Asia where barriers to entry were previously very high. We expect regulatory hurdles to decline further in Asia in the future, which should pave the way for additional growth in LCC fleets in these countries, thereby creating additional demand for commercial aircraft in future years.
China and India's rising need for resources to fuel their economic growth will drive demand for energy, oil & gas, infrastructure and mining equipment. China has already experienced strong growth in mining equipment demand, a direct result of greater investment in its local mining industry. For example, China's coal output more than doubled from 1998 to 2008, reflecting the nation's burgeoning energy needs.
Like China, India has experienced major growth in energy demand in recent years. Additionally, compared to China, India has a substantial need for infrastructure such as roads and ports, as well as energy generation, transmission and distribution. The Indian government has estimated that the industry will need investments to the tune of around $400 billion by 2012. These growth prospects will provide significant opportunities for GE in the future, as it has expertise in nearly all aspects of infrastructure equipment and finance. The company will also benefit from its established presence in these markets.
Aviation division's market share represents the share of the division's revenue in the global aviation engine and MRO market.

Something I've noticed after upgrading to 6.0.1 is that when you get a notification on the lock screen, the icon doesn't flash/pulse any more.
This was quite useful to me as if I had more than one notification already on the lock screen I would know that the one flashing was the one that had just came in. Is anyone else seeing this?

FILE - In this Aug. 28, 2008 file photo, tourists walk past a telephone shop in the Brussels city center. The exquisitely preserved Grand-Place itself is a world heritage site that dazzles visitors year-round, but in the maze of narrow streets around it, the beauty of a Magritte sky framing centuries-old Flemish gables surrenders quickly to an ugliness stemming from years of planning neglect.

Roll your mouse over each person in the picture to see their caption. Comment with your own if you have 'em!
Obama skipped the Boy Scout Jamboree celebrating their 100 years in existence so he could be on The View.
Boy Scout spokesman Deron Smith graciously excused the abscence, rightly pointing out how, "it just depends on his schedule..."
What would that schedule look like anyway? Hmm.....
As usual you can click on the image to view it at full size.
Add a commentThe Alliance Defense Fund is what the ACLU would be if it would just lay off the smack long enough to realize its a soul-sold whore protecting some of the most evil behavior humanity is capable of.
Its not often I get in the role of advocacy, because that's not necessarily the purpose of this blog, but this is a good organization that is literally doing God's work in protecting the "freedom of religion" part of the first amendment.
I recently spotted an article involving them on at Fox News titled Lawsuit Claims College Ordered Student to Alter Religious Views on Homosexuality, Or Be Dismissed. This piqued my curiosity as to what country this fascist nonsense was happening in.
Georgia.....hmmm.....the one that borders Russia....right?
Oh holy hell they mean our Georgia! As should be imagined, a lawsuit is in progress and the ADF is on the case.
Yeah I already read the story so I shouldn't feign shock, but like a Democrat proposing a new government program to solve some problem, every time I click the link I like to think "maybe this time would be different."
I love how Augusta State faculty deems that Keeton needs "remediation." Maybe they're embarrassed that Keeton has made it all the way through the public education gauntlet to grad school while maintaining her faith.
Maybe the faculty of Augusta State University should go through American Remediation and be exposed to the secret documents that frame our laws and value system...like the Constitution.
I have to be honest, I'm not surprised that we've been moving toward this Brave New Anti-Christian world, but it is kind of a shock to see the machine that fulfills Orwell's prophecies working so brazenly in a state like Georgia. I guess that unlike illegal immigration in Arizona it looks like re-education camps know no borders.
Point, Augusta State...I have no doubt these Orwellian-college-think-monkeys who want to expel students, who are not actually failing out of school, for having the audacity to be Christian (aka the REAL audacity of hope) would know exactly what it means to have an "improper professional disposition."
I will grant the university this, we don't know from the article what Keeton has written that has given them cause for concern. However, all of this is taking place at a public institution, and her first amendment right to both speech and religion are protected. Should she graduate and start a career as a counselor her record at that point should speak for itself and not have to endure preemptive strikes launched against it by a bunch of book jockey's that don't live in the real world.
Keeton has already become a cause celeb on Facebook, she has both a Support and Remove page for her.
The "Remove" page actually has some surprisingly intelligent reasons for why the university is right, click here for a screen shot featuring one of them (WARNING: don't click if you don't like profanity.)
As of this writing I don't know if that eloquently worded gem of persuasion is still posted there, but I don't care to keep checking either.
If you can, please support the Alliance Defense Fund. They are the first, last, and more often than not, only line of defense against the secular and anti-christian madness that has been gradually strengthening it's grip on the country. I have donated money to them and you can donate here.
Add a commentIt's not news that many Hollywood elites like Oliver Stone are apologists for, if not downright friendly to leftist dictators, and are more than likely commies themselves.
Now Oliver Stone latest documentary intellectual snuff film "Secret History of America" seeks to put guys like Hitler and Stalin "in context." (according to this Newsbusters post)
If you want to place bets on how many days will pass before I will buckle down and watch that fine piece of cinema, I would take the over on that.....WAY OVER. Even then you still might lose, because I don't how your bookie would be able to gauge the over on eternity.
The only movie I remember seeing of his was World Trade Center, and that's because watching it didn't propel me into some leftist twilight zone. At this point, however, I think there is only one other Oliver Stone movie I would ever plunk down stimulus money for the rest of my time in this life....

Here is another joke I received in an email. Get used to me sharing them, and send me yours!
Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane trip back to Washington. He turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to The Obama, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the Obama. "How about What Changes I Should Make To America?" and he smiles.
"OK," she says. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it for a second and finally says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to change America when you don't know shit?"

I think liberals should have a Groundhog Day type of event where they cram a bunch of garbage down a voter's throat (they need something tangible to represent their philosophy) and if the voter doesn't puke until they die they get 4 more years of power.
That said, there is a new Quinnipiac poll out that paints yet another grim picture for the Democrats, where they would lose again in a generic ballot against Republicans.
While this is good news, the thing that irritates me about the reporting of these polls is that they continue to be interpreted, with a acumen of a tax-raising liberal in a recession, as "anti-incumbent sentiment."
This implies there isn't a rational reason to explain why the Democrat's numbers stink worse than poop that fell into a pile of ObamaCare. As if they're not doing anything at all (like hypothetically speaking defy the will of the public AND OPENLY ADMIT TO IT) to deserve the voter wrath that's marching toward November.
We all know that's ridiculous. This party under Obama's leadership has made so many gaffes you'd think they invented the concept.
I could go ahead and list the examples, but if you don't already know them then this post is probably above your pay-grade anyway....
All of this reminds me of a cartoon I drew many years ago (and is very different from the artwork I do now) that has nothing to do with politics but speaks perfectly to this issue. Basically, the problem Democrats and media have with interpreting the poll numbers goes something like this...
The poll also found that at the moment voters, by a three point margin, would pick ANY REPUBLICAN over Obama in 2012. In other words, every Republican in the country has a viable shot at being president if they were on the ballot against Obama today.
Your dog, if it's registered Republican and has a verifiable United States birth certificate, could be elected president over Obama .
Even Lindsey Graham could be elected president against Obama! All he'd have to do is become a Republican!
If Quinnipiac's finding is correct I guess even Obama could possibly avoid a scorching 2012 defeat by becoming a Republican, but then again, probably not. I don't think he'd withstand the pressure of the media demanding he show proof of citizenship.
Add a commentRoll over the characters to see their lines (every character has a line except Dorothy in act 2, so if you don't see it right away be patient, its just loading).
I guess the order doesn't really matter, but I set it up so the proper way to go is from left to right (coincidence?).
Act 1
Act 2
Act 3
And because the liberals didn't want what the wizard had to offer we all lived CRAPILY EVER AFTER.
Do we need a constitutional amendment to require Congress to start each session with an episode of Sesame Street so they'll never forget how to count?
First off, I can't tell anymore what is news and what is editorial, but it looks like Reuters is paying some screwloose named Alister Bull to write blog posts and packaging it as news.
If you're interested in yet another example of how conservatives have been "deluded" into thinking mainstream media reporters have devolved into nothing more than propaganda monkeys then check out Obama casts Republicans as party of the rich.
If you're out of barf bags (mine have pictures of Nancy Pelosi on them, I don't call it barfing I call it "giving her brains"...but I digress) and don't want to wait until you get some more here are the main points of the "article."
1. Republicans are the party of the rich.
2. Republicans are blocking the giving of more money to the jobless using that tired excuse that there literally isn't any.
3. Alister's last name has to actually be Crap, because its just too obvious that Bull is the middle one.
Remember when invoking class warfare was a rhetorical tool in the liberal utility belt, and not a signal of desperation? I never thought I'd long for the days when Democrat desperation wasn't so dangerous...
Seriously though, is cowardice now a programmed part of Democrat DNA?
Let me rephrase that...When did cowardice become part of Democrat DNA? Wait, let me rephrase that again...
Is the concept of evolution being pushed on the world by the left meant to hide the fact they're genetically flawed?
They'll say anything but the truth and do anything but the RIGHT thing when they're hiding behind other peoples' money. There isn't a single valid argument to be made for why the Democrats should take what money Americans have left so they can extend "benefits" (like not having to look for work) for people who already don't have to work for almost 2 whole years already, much less while the budget is over a trillion in the red!
I sympathize with the jobless, in this recession I spent about a year in employment limbo myself. I don't think anyone disagrees with the idea of helping those who need it. However at some point we should all feel civic responsibility for being accountable to our public debt! Why are "progressives" or liberals...or how about this, these "human Deepwater Horizons," so adamant about doing this stuff still?
It's unsustainable! Do you know how I know this to be true?!? Because this crap wouldn't even fly in Monopoly! I don't remember the rule where you can stop bankruptcy by calling the banker of being Republican.
I need to stop ranting...because now I'm just babbling a bunch of greedy happy talk...right?

Add a commentI received this joke in my email and I just laughed my butt off...
Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in West Virginia, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud West Virginia drawl, pierced the quiet and said: 'Well, dumbass, stop clapping!'

Where are the paddles?
Why is this creek flowing shit?
Barack overboard!
Since becoming president there has been the ongoing question of why President Obama doesn't have time for church, when asked about it he says sites the problem of encountering security issues everywhere he goes.
Look, I don't make it to church every week (I should), so I can cut him some slack, but can we come up with a better excuse already? Security concerns, really? This is coming from the guy who flies Air Force One around the world like he's taking a trip to Starbucks.
Anyway, I'm starting to think maybe all he makes time for is the church of Chuck Schultz.
And now, for a reading from the gospel according to Sally:
Now I get it...its Bush's fault!

Add a commentSo the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People votes that the Tea Party is racist a day after the first black woman to be First Lady in the country's history speaks on increasing intensity against apparent continued racial inequality. Isn't that like the pot calling the...no no no...I don't hate a sufficient amount of cracka iotas to be allowed to go there....
It really sucks that conservatives are so intellectually inferior compared to liberals that we are the only ones that see the irony of Michelle Obama telling the NAACP that black people still have a tough road to hoe in America as if her husband's name is Jim Crowe.
Honestly, I don't care to be lectured by someone who only became a fan of America after she realized she could be its first lady. This is America, Michelle, not the 2005 Chicago White Sox no fairweather fans allowed.
To be fair to the NAACP they do say they are not condemning the entire Tea Party, just its racist fringe...
If only the Tea Party were considerate enough to be more like the Black Panthers, it would save the NAACP the trouble of having to make any distinction in the first place.
How about we get a resolution denouncing the racist elements of the Obama Administration, known as...the Obama Administration. Or is the next phase of "Advancing" colored people actually having a Department of "Justice" that drops charges of already convicted Black Panthers who obstruct the electoral process and publicly advocate the murder of white people and their babies?
This is madness! How are the Obama's not embarrassed by any of this? I know the media protects them, but I'm pretty sure even Paris Hilton has more self-respect.
I don't know...Maybe I'm being too harsh, in fact, I know I am. I'm sure Michelle Obama left the NAACP and went to visit the oil spill in the gulf and brought her class and dignity with her there, finally....
.........um........Nice shirt Michelle........ What did you do? Ask your fashion czar what goes best with oil spill?

SALINAS, Calif. - There's a battle in Sacramento to reverse a controversial decision approving the use of Methyl Iodide on our California agriculture fields.
The product, manufactured by Arysta LifeScience (the brand name is called Midas), has been approved in 47 states and 6 countries. Methyl iodide is used mainly on strawberry crops and is seen as a replacement for methyl bromide, which is being phased out across the globe on concerns it depletes the ozone.
Central Coast Assemblyman, Bill Monning (D-Carmel) is fighting the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) after it gave methyl Iodide it's stamp of approval in December, 2010. Monning has said, "Methyl iodide, while it is not an ozone depleter, is perhaps more highly toxic, more unstable in the ground. We think it poses even greater risk than even methyl bromide to work force and rural residents."
Monning has joined an advocacy group called Pesticide Watch.
According to Arysta LifeScience, the first research on their methyl iodide product (midas) as a pesticide began in the early 1990's at University California Riverside. It was submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2002 and was approved for use in October, 2007.
Central Coast News spoke to Jeff Tweedy, Head of Business Development at Arysta LifeScience. "Methyl iodide is different in that it delivers the broad spectrum of control that methyl bromide would deliver... control of diseases, control of nematodes and control of weeds. That makes (methyl iodide) unique," said Tweedy.
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has some strict guidelines for it's use. There would be buffer zones between the nearest schools and homes. Plus, restrictions on how much/often it's used and mandatory tarps to cover up the ground.
Applicators would also need to pass a test and would wear respirators for safety. Tweedy explained, "You or I could not go out and buy (Midas) and apply it ourselves, we need to have someone certified and trained in this (application process) and the equipment to do it correctly."
While speaking in Sacramento in March, Monning said, "This chemical, and nobody disputes this, it is cancer causing, it is birth defect causing, it is a neurotoxin, and it is a water contaminant, that is not in dispute, that's what comes with this chemical. What is in dispute is can it be applied and used safely."
Tweedy told Central Coast News that information is based on old data. "If you look at the new research done by the Cancer Institute, other agencies and the EPA... It's not cancer causing at all," said Tweedy.
The California Strawberry Commission said banning Methyl Iodide would be a bad idea.
At this point, neither Santa Cruz nor Monterey County has received an application from a grower to actually use Midas. Central Coast News was told those applications would not arrive until later this year, as local growers prepare for the 2012 crop.
Tweedy ended with saying, "Listen to both sides, we've got good information on our product and the stewardship on how it's been used. We want to be good stewards of the land we want to make sure there's a good urban/agriculture balance."
The EPA is accepting public comments until April 30th on a petition to remove methyl iodide from the marketplace. To find more information, visit the website www.regulations.gov.

Firstly, hello to all that are reading on Planet Gnome as this will be my first post that has been syndicated there. And by way of introduction, I'm a 23 year old student in my final year at York University studying Computer Science and Maths. I'm working on bug 48004 to implement individual workspace wallpapers. (For those that are interested you can find my previous posts at http://gsocblog.jsharpe.net/.)
I've spent the last couple of weeks finishing up my masters project, and gave my presentation on that last Friday. Its good to get it all out of the way, although my supervisor has suggested submitting my project to the S+SSPR conference which means I need to edit my paper by the end of the month. I also have a computer graphics assignment to complete and three exams to revise for before the official start of GSOC on 26th May, so quite a bit to do before then. I suspect I'll be juggling my time between uni and GSOC up till the 10th June which is the date of my last exam at uni.
In the mean time I've been looking through the code that I'm going to be working on; the desktop wallpaper code seems to be spread across numerous modules: gnome-desktop, gnome-control-center, libeel, libwnck and libgnomeui. Initially I'll be working on getting the backend part working for which the following criteria need to be fulfilled:
- Support wallpaper per workspace (and possibly extending this to be a workspace profile/state see bug 113640)
- Update the GnomeBG api to support multiple workspaces – hopefully this will help stabilise the api and remove the need to explicitly define use of the api.
- Support desktop wallpaper rotation. (The code to do this is largely there since there is already support for animated backgrounds which rotate over a given period of time)
- Support wallpapers per desktop – this will involve adding support for Xrandr and Xinerama (although I'm tempted to argue that we should just support Xrandr since Xinerama is no longer in development)
I've also been hacking a little at jhbuild; I've setup jhbuild to use git-svn in place of svn but it's handling of externals is painful! I've put in a hack that checks the current svn revision of the git-svn tree before and after the rebase, and conditionally updates the externals only if the svn revision version has changed. Now this works fine if the svn:external is for a given revision number in the external repository, but if its not then we still need to do an update because the external may have changed whilst the current repository hasn't. This kind of breaks the notion of a revision number in svn as it means that a revision in the repository is dependent upon the state of an external repository i.e. it will change over time! Not a good thing for repeatability in the future. I'm thinking about storing some metadata within the git-svn checkout dir relating to the location of externals(if any) as a way of avoiding walking the whole svn directory structure which is particularly slow! The alternative is to implement the externals as git submodules, as noted in a fixme within the code. There's also a number of other features missing from the git-svn code too that I may roll patches for:
- doesn't return to current branch after switching to master for rebase
- doesn't unstash working copy changes that have been stashed
- proper support for using svn branches i.e. assumes you want a git repo with only either trunk or a single branch in it

The Peloton: Le Temps Perdu
Throughout the spring and summer, a print-out of a spreadsheet had a space on the wall of the Rouleur office between the prints and posters more obviously dedicated to possibly relevant things (at the office of a cycling magazine, I mean) like bikes and people who ride bikes and such. This spreadsheet had a few hundred cells this way, and ten or fifteen cells that way, and it bore the words 'Spreadsheet of Doom' (we are, generally speaking, a very optimistic bunch), appended with, in a smaller but equally illegible hand, 'Don't panic!' It would change every week, adding this rider or that print or this interview, or occasionally taking away the rider, print or interview. Each writer had a column, as had each biographer and each translator (if you're lucky, you might be able to count those people on two hands). In fact, the spreadsheet continued to changed every week – or every day, or several times a day – until the print deadline. It changed a few times after that as well. In spite of the advice that would usually be scribbled on the spreadsheet within minutes of a new print ("Don't, whatever you do, panic!"), it may have inspired a panic attack or two – and it certainly got to be a lot bigger than it was meant to.
When asked how long he thought it would take to finish the small matter of the design, Andreas Töpfer, the designer, said he thought it would take two weeks; when asked how long it actually took, he laughed and said that he had no idea. Unusually, Andreas also isn't quite sure how much space the Peloton files are taking up on his harddrive – but he is confident that it's more than any other book he's ever designed.
No, The Peloton is not the sum of the logistics involved, but they were certainly involved. Then again, the peloton – the real peloton: the one that's out there in the world and riding the Tour or the Giro or some impossibly difficult Spring Classic – is, you might argue, also more than the sum of the riders who are in the peloton and were in the peloton (and, conceivably, will be in the peloton) because the peloton that Timm recorded and documented is no mere concept, and it remembers things that no single rider can recall.

Green Bay Packers 2010 Player Evaluations – Defense – Tramon Williams
1) Introduction: Tramon Williams is a very different player in 2010 than he was in 2009. Williams was the second most penalized defensive back in the NFL in 2009, when he stepped into a starting role after Al Harris was lost for the season. He showed some signs of brilliance, but a lack of discipline in his technique, earning him the nickname "Admiral Armbar" from Football Outsiders. Well, he and assistant coach Joe Whitt addressed the technique issues in training camp, and "Admiral Armbar" has not been seen since.
Tramon Vernell Williams
Position: DB
Height: 5-11 Weight: 191 lbs.
Born: March 16, 1983 in Houma, LA
College: Louisiana Tech (school history) (Williams college stats)
Weighted Career AV (100-95-…): 19 (4692nd overall since 1950)
1-time Pro Bowler (fine print)
3) Expectations coming into the season for that player: Solid starter. One way or another, Tramon Williams was going to be counted on to be a starter. Even if Al Harris was able to return to action this season, the odds of him stepping in right away were slim. Tramon Williams was going to be the Packers' starting right cornerback in 2010 – sink or swim. Besides changing his coverage techniques, Williams was also going to be expected to improve his tackling, which the Packers' coaches were not satisfied with in 2009.
