Why Atheists Can't Be Republicans
CJ Werleman's just published Atheists Can't Be Republicans.
That atheists are secularists is one reason why atheists can't be member of today's Republican Party.The Grand Old Party (GOP) is ... a theocratic sponsor,...
Atheists can't be Republicans because the economic and social policies of the Republican Party have been proven abjectly false and dangerous. Much in the same way religion is false and dangerous. In other words, atheists who cling onto modern U.S. conservative ideology are hanging onto ideas that have either been proven mythical at worse or remain unproven at best. If atheists applied the same litmus test to their political ideology as they do to theology, then clearly an atheist cannot be a Republican.
Atheists are the fastest growing minority in the country. We now have the critical mass to shape elections and policy. Were atheists able to establish a monolithic political demographic, one that is based on proven economic and social policies, then our potential political power would translate into saving this country from the clutches of the American Taliban and Wall Street.
On the other hand, the author also says,
... I have come in contact with as many idiot atheists as I have with idiot Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
I gave up on both major parties years ago, and changed to Green, not because they're more honest or have the remotest chance, but because they don't take money from corporations.
Without Greens in Congress, a Green president will fail.
I will take Greens seriously when they have candidates in local races.
But until they support a national initiative and referendum, why would I trust them to refuse the money that has long corrupted the major parties?
First, I agree that an atheist can be a blithering idiot, though I've never met one. And an atheist can be totally selfish -- see Ayn Rand. So I never call myself an atheist. I'm a Humanist. That's an atheist or agnostic with a moral compass who accepts responsibility for his or her actions and their results, and tries to make the world better. So I've not met a Humanist who was a Republican in the 21st century. In our local Humanist chapter we had a member who was a Republican many years ago; when the Republican party embraced evangelical religion and selfishness he found something else to occupy his Saturday mornings. Now we are not all Democrats, but we are generally, to some degree, progressives.
An article by Nicholas Wapshott on what happened to the Republican party.
Wapshott points out the other elements of the Republican party besides the religious-right social conservatism that people here concentrate on.
He writes a lot about the Libertarian faction of the Republicans. The Libertarians don't have that socially-conservative agenda that so many here, including me, dislike.
The Republicans are not one-dimensional. They are a complicated mixture of different sorts of people, with different passions. They cannot be characterized in some simple negative way such as "wishing to dominate" or "wishing to feel superior".
It's my impression that The Republican Party has made efforts to become more one-dimensional since the Tea Party gained ascendance.
Luara, thanks for the Wapshott article.
...the conservative Stanford economist John B. Taylor suggested this week, "Rhetoric aside, many both inside and outside the government quite reasonably seek to return to the kinds of policies that worked well in the not-so-distant past.
People and books have shown me pieces of some of the distant past. They include:
Any additions or corrections?
The current Republican party bares actually no resemblance to the GOP of the not-too-distant past.
Their fiscal policies have been proven time and again not to work. In fact they do more harm to the economy than good.
Their social policies are a relic of a delusional 1950's suburban mindset and of ancient biblical dogma.
There are current members of the GOP in congress that should be tried for treason for purposefully shutting down our government. They came to Washington with that sole purpose and stated so.
Their international foreign policy is arrogant, overzealous and xenophobic.
Their national platform regarding any person who is not straight and white is arrogant, overzealous and xenophobic. And that includes their attitude toward non-white U.S. citizens who were born in this country.
They want to dismantle much of our government and put it into the hands of corporations and the free market with absolutely no critical regulatory oversight in place.
They want to enjoy the fruits and labor of the working class but don't wish to pay them or even acknowledge their value. Mitt Romney's remark about the "47%" sums up their attitude succinctly.
A large majority wish to install the rule of biblical law above our constitutional laws.
They want the freedom to declare personal responsibility but refuse to acknowledge responsibility when their actions harm others.
I could go on, but I'm tired and angry. Honestly, I cannot think of anything good that the Republican party stands for.
Our whole political system is so whacked. From the dark-age conservatism of the Republican Party, the Tea Party and the religious right nut-jobs to the Supreme Court-sanctioned corporate buyout of the democratic process, all power and influence has been taken away from the will of the people. The Democratic Party is by no means innocent either, but I blame the lion's share of our problems on the GOP.
Excellent summary! I agree with your assessment. Not only does a wall have to be built between church and state, the functioning of our government needs to revamp with the points you mention as part of a new Constitutional Convention.
The Republicans make good points as well.
- Republicans tend to be realistic about our need for energy and to use resources, as in oil drilling. Many people hate the idea of drilling - they push it offshore into deep water, for example. But those same people also want to drive their cars and have other benefits from oil. I appreciate the realism.
- Republicans tend to be in favor of free markets and competition. The free market is a powerful force for efficiency and for giving consumers what they actually want, not what some bureaucrat thinks they want.
- Bureaucracies should not be involved in our lives any more than is necessary. When Republicans are in favor of limited government, they are pushing for freedom.
- When the government spends more than it takes in, that is probably bad for the economy. It causes inflation, which eats away at people's savings.
These things have their limitations. I don't believe in an unlimited free market.
But, why don't other people try to see some good in Republican positions? All I have read, have been generalized statements picking out the faults that you see - making a negative caricature of the Republicans.
The people who disagree most, often have most to teach you.
This is also true of social conservatives like Thomas Sowell. He often has good observations.
I find reading conservative commentary to be useful. I don't agree with everything they say, obviously. BUT, the conservatives make good points that are left out of liberal commentary!
The fact is, we have to get off fossil fuels. That is realism in the rawest form.
Free markets, unregulated, result in growing household income inequality. In some countries, everyone is poor and needs to develop markets. Other countries allow unfettered free markets and they ultimately lead to class warfare. The most successful markets have been when those who produce the goods and services enjoy the benefits of sharing profits.
Our nation had the largest middle class, the lowest poverty rate, lowest infant mortality rates, lowest mother mortality rates, the best infrastructures during the time of high taxation on profits and wealth, and strong regulation of markets. Just look at any method of measuring these factors and you will see the trend lines. In 1975, +- , the middle class began to decline in relative numbers and wealth grew, all the above measures began to decline. Just look at roads, for example. They are a measure of how the economy is going.
The great deficits come about during war, and the USA has been at war since the end of WW I and II. Great wealth was created and if it were not for labor unions, those who produced the goods and services of war machines would have increased the spread of the income gap.
I have read a lot of Tomas Sowell and I see and hear little basic sense in his writings and speaking. His philosophy is flawed.
"The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
The Apollo Moom Project could not have happened without the use of meetings of people from all over the world. Ed Lindaman had a great hand in making that communication work and all it took was training of those involved. It is a learned skill. To criticize a process that is misunderstood and malpractice is just another sign of prejudice. Sowell, of all people, should understand that.
The reason to confront a line of thinking is because it creates problems that impact people's lives. Hunger is political, so is health care, and wealth gap, and education, and money in elections. These all can be managed with well trained leaders and representatives of government, which, sadly, does not happen.

Mr. Bubble, in a recent release of your animation sheets you mentioned that you found a simple and free image stitching program and, if I may, I would like to ask for the name of said program.

Hot answers tagged deployment
Build an SSCCE (short, self contained, correct example). If the bug disappears when you remove some of the extra details for the SSCCE, then you found it.
Otherwise you will have an SSCCE that you give or post that ideally eliminates the code that you are concerned about sharing.
Depends entirely on the installation technology, company developing the software and the whim of the person using the terms. Generally though, updates stay within a product version (for example, hotfixes), while if you want to move to a later version, you would upgrade.
So you might install an update (hotfix) for Office 2007, or you might upgrade to Office ...
Two things:
Staging environment, as similar to the live environment where you do test deployments.
Ample testing of this environment after deployment. Automated and non-automated.
There are other things that can be done.
I suggest reading the 5 part blog series about automated deployment by Troy Hunt. The tooling he uses is MS stack specific, but the ...
There are a few obvious arguments against this.
What happens if you leave. Is all this information carefully documented, or is it mostly in your head. Automated scripts are a much better place for someone else to take over from.
Everyone makes mistakes. There will come a time when the person doing the deployment is tired, not paying attention whatever. ...
In layman's words:
Not all users use all of a company's apps
Different users have different needs
Why force an user to buy a full package when he/she needs only a part ? (Ok, Google apps are free, but other software maker's aren't.)
Having those apps separate makes it possible to be updated separately and, most importantly, sold separately.
The fact that ...
The best practice is to have an approximation of the production stack on your local developer machine. This typically includes the database, web server and your customized code. Do all of your development there. Never edit code on a production server.
When your business stakeholders are ready for the functionality to go live, push your code from your local ...
An installer always makes sense, if deployment requires anything more complicated than copying the relevant file(s) to some folder and running the EXE. If there are additional steps that need to be taken to set the product up properly, there's two ways to go about it.
You can write out a list for someone to follow. Humans being humans, someone's bound to ...
You can get the best of best worlds: peace of mind with process verification and the reliability of automation.
Script the deployment. Then, go through and manually verify that processes are started, files removed, etc. In other words, write your own QA script just to verify that automated steps 1 - X actually occurred.
For better understanding of something that is complicated, just make it more simplier.
In this example, just split the word into atoms, like these:
Update - UP_DATE - make it up to date;
Upgrade - UP_GRADE - move it to the upper (or next) grade (or level).
Disputes about easily-observable facts are actually quite easy to resolve: just observe the facts. If I say "there's a tree with purple wood outside my house," anyone able to come to my house can verify the truth or falsehood of my statement for themselves.
If they're complaining that FuncA used to be in the product and used to work in an earlier version ...
Like Shaun said, there isn't really a standard. Some companies have better versioning practices than others (I've dealt with vendors who skip major version numbers, and others that are stuck on the same x.y several releases later).
Having said that, the inventor of Gravatars and cofounder of GitHub (Tom Preston-Werner) authored a document for 'Semantic ...
I'm not a big fan of them, but several reasons come to mind:
It allows them to more easily deliver the most recent build to the customer.
It allows them to speed up the download by only delivering to the user the pieces they want to actually install.
Huge downloads via HTTP often stall out. A download manager allows for a smaller initial download, and ...
This is not an issue that can be dealt with on facts - if you try, you will loose credibility.
First, accept that the software is "broken" - as it it does not do what the users want it to do. Now, accept that the users have a right to have the software do what they want it to do - thats what the software is therefore. So what we have is defective software ...
I wonder, why no one mentioned Version control -- which is one of the most important ways to save you from trouble while updating/upgrading.
First, your deployment should be just a clone of the stable branch on your repository.
Everything including config files, SQL files, install/update scripts MUST be version controlled.
Second, you need to have "some ...
While what you have done is sure to be a good thing, the project manager has to worry about a number of things:
testing - what if you break something. Either something in the home page, or some other unintended consequence? The system needs to be retested. Depending on how far your company goes, this could be a large cost.
Scheduling user downtime. May be ...
I think the key here is: why do you think that you can't script the verification process?
My deploy scripts don't just push archives and restart services. They print out lots of color-coded information during each step of the deploy, and provide me a summary of events at the end. It lets me know that processes are up and running, that the homepage is ...
Wyatt takes off his programmer hat and puts on his Director of IT hat
If this is an internal line of business application then you only need aim at one environment -- said business. I would call the head of IT and ask him how they would like to manage deployment. IT departments have been dealing with this for a while so they might have a strong preference ...
Have you consdiered SQL Compact?
SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 is a free, easy-to-use embedded database engine that lets developers build robust Windows Desktop and mobile applications that run on all Windows platforms including Windows XP, Vista, Pocket PC, and Smartphone.
MySQL is Free Software licensed under the GPL, and it changing owners isn't going to affect that (that's pretty much the entire point of the GPL).
Where you need to pay is if you're distributing MySQL as part of a binary that you expect people to install, but don't want to license the entire binary under the GPL. Because of the way copyleft licenses work, ...
I wouldn't do it, especially if you're working for someone else, who likely wouldn't appreciate you handing potential competitors source code.
But even if it's your own code, it misses the point of Stack Overflow, which is to have an index of questions and answers for everyone to read and use. So you post enough to ask your question, people answer the ...
Dependencies. Take a very simple Python application. I can distribute it as a script. It will work on some machines, and won't work on others, because the script is using Python 3 and those machines have only Python 2 installed, or no Python at all.
So now, I need to make sure, during deployment, that a specific version of Python is either available or ...
Yes, it is legal. The page you linked to says the following:
The F# redistributable package can be
added to a deployment project to
create a packaged, installable F#
application that installs the F#
runtime components when an application
is installed on a client computer.
You can also check the redist.txt file in [program files]\Microsoft ...
I have never been a fan of including existing projects that belong to other solutions. There are too many variables where making an edit to that project for 1 solution completely breaks something in another solution. Then by fixing that problem you end up breaking the original solution. Lather, rinse, repeat.
When this kind of dependency leaks into multiple ...
Do you also run your production machines with remote debugging, and you manually stepping through them? Building a proper script is identical to writing a program. All of the issues you have indicate things that it will need to watch for and check against.
If something goes wrong, it should go through proper rollback procedures, and send you a message. ...
You would probably want to play to the normal expectations for each platform involved.
For example, Linux software is usually distributed through package managers, or as a package (RPM file, DEB file), or in the most basic form, an archive like tar, or a compressed tar. In the Linux world, though, since every distribution has very different ...
Windows Installer applications are widely used to install internal business applications in environments using Windows. You should also ask yourself whether over the application's life it will likely ever need to be updated, patched, repaired, or cleanly removed from user's systems. In many cases the answer is "yes" - in which case having a properly ...
Deployed means that it's been shoved onto and works on a server or other machine (say an embedded chipset) somewhere. Released means that that machine and the application(s) on it has been made available to the public. So "release" would be the better term.
One product, one source code, different data.
There are not really enough details to know whether my answer is the right one, but your problem is a common one for solution providers with multiple customers who have slightly different requirements. The answers always some to converge on: Just One Product.

Saturday Market Opens again!
by Iris Harrison
posted Mar 7 2011 4:11PM
This has been just a gloomy winter in so many ways...but this weekend pulled me out of my mood...at least a little. Saturday Market is open for business again and it's amazing how having just one little tasty treat can give me hope! Marty and I have been going to Saturday Market since we moved here (he lived in Portland for a while before I did, and I'm pretty sure he went to the very first one ever) and our ritual is having a spring roll and hum bao. This time I just went for the fluffy hot hum bao. So good. We were trying to remember how much they cost when we first started going, and he thinks it was 75 cents for the spring roll which is now $3.50. Kind of like gasoline. I also found an artist that I hadn't seen since a festival at the Resort at the Mountain almost 6 years ago. It was great to find her and of course I bought something. AND the guy with the cajun spices who sells me everytime with that incredible personality and smile! I know I can get spices anywhere, but I love his banter and the experience. Smart marketing too...he was giving away samples on chicken bits! I did use the spices on some grilling I did this weekend and it was delicious. I'll confess, I'm not a big fan of the show
on IFC, but many of my friends just love the heck out of it. I guess I sort of look at Portland events and life that goes on here, like Saturday Market, as REAL Portlandia. You don't have to TRY to make a funny...it just is funny, and unique, and endearing to me. My friend who just moved to the Rose City asked me why I don't like the show , and she can quote almost every sketch. I guess because I've lived here so damn long that the whole "Keep Portland Weird" thing sort of hits me as "yeah, so?" It's part of Portland's charm, it's quirky ways, it's politics...all of it. It's just where we live and to me it seems normal. My family loves to get stories of how strange Portland is and tell me like it's a little dig. Whatever...
The BEST book of strange tales of Portland comes from local author Chuck Palahniuk,
"Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland Oregon"
. If you live here, or have family and friends who live elsewhere and just "don't get it" when it comes to our beloved quirky ways, hand them this book. It will save some time. I'm looking forward to strolling around Saturday Market in the better weather ahead...whenever that will be.

Comments about Trigger Point Grid Foam Roller:
This is the best foam roller out there that I've tried, hands down. It's the perfect blend of stiffness, along with the ridges and texture and just enough padding to make it comfortable (as comfortable as foam rolling can be!) It's a great tool for working out muscle soreness and minor injuries. Regular use definitely helps keep athletic injuries at bay. This roller maintains its shape over time and even travels easily. This is the only brand of roller I will ever use again!

This roller is actually a bit too large to be used for treatment of plantar fasciitis.

2012 Wildcat pictures and specs
this was posted on Wildcatforums.net
Arctic Cat Wildcat SXS Forum and on UTV Off-Road Magazine: http://www.utvoffroadmag.com/news_ev..._1000i_HO.html Quote:
Inspired by the unforgiving terrain of the Baja 1000, engineered to attack the gnarliest obstacles with precision and control, and crafted in America by a company dedicated to performance and quality, the all-new Arctic Cat Wildcat V-Twin 1000 H.O. debuts as the most potent pure-sport recreational off-road vehicle (ROV) ever built. With industry-leading suspension travel, 13 inches of ground clearance, a full-perimeter frame and the largest displacement engine in its class, the Wildcat is a full-production version of what was previously reserved for off-road race vehicles. "The Wildcat has no equal. Period," said Claude Jordan, Arctic Cat President and CEO. "Our customers asked for a high-performance side-by-side, and we happily responded with a no-compromise, pure-sport hot rod that redefines what's possible with a production off-road vehicle." SUSPENSION Ultimate Long Travel The Wildcat can effortlessly hammer through whoops and dunes thanks to a front and rear suspension combination that rivals those used on off-road race buggies. At the rear is an industry-first 5-point multi-link trailing arm suspension that keeps the tires' contact patches flat while the suspension moves through its industry-leading 18 inches of travel. The unique 5-point multi-link minimizes camber and axle plunge to soak up the harshest terrain without compromising handling and steering. The double-wishbone front suspension boasts a best-in-class 17 inches of travel, with geometry that's optimized for stability and control. Both the front and rear suspensions are dampened by Walker Evans Racing shocks. Designed from a lifetime of off-road competition and experience and also made in the USA, these remote reservoir shocks are machined from billet aluminum and feature 17-position compression dampening adjustability, dual-rate springs and preload adjustment. They're calibrated with ample ride-in to keep the Wildcat's tires on the ground, with consistent dampening for hours of hard riding. The all-new Duro Kaden 14-in tires were developed specifically for the Wildcat, utilizing an elongated tread pattern designed to extend to the tires shoulder, providing excellent cornering, traction, performance and durability in rough conditions. CHASSIS Full-Perimeter Exoskeleton The foundation for the Wildcat's suspension is a full-perimeter frame that sets a new standard in strength, rigidity and durability. Usually found only in off-road race trucks, the chassis is constructed from High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel with a full-perimeter exoskeleton design that's a first in the ROV class. With a 40/60 front/rear weight distribution, the Wildcat's front end remains light for optimal handling when tackling gnarly terrain. Occupants in the cockpit of the Wildcat are positioned close to the low center-of-gravity (CG), leaving them less affected by movements of the suspension and chassis and producing a more comfortable and confident ride. 1000 H.O. ENGINE Built in St. Cloud, Minnesota The 1000 H.O engine that powers the new Wildcat is the largest displacement engine in the Pure Sport category, and the ideal match for the industry-leading suspensions and chassis combo. Built in the USA by Arctic Cat, the 951cc V-Twin, SOHC 4-stroke with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) has proven itself on the Prowler XTZ. On the Wildcat, the 1000 H.O. has been tuned to deliver even stronger acceleration thanks to the extra torque and horsepower provided by heavy breathing 50mm throttle bodies, a new 2-into-1 ceramic-coated exhaust and an all-new air intake system. The close-coupled, mid-chassis engine location neutralizes the Wildcat's handling, maximizes the rider/passenger volume and reduces cockpit noise. The engine transfers power to the driveshaft via the Duramatic automatic CVT transmission. The addition of the Spike Load Dampener (SLD) allows the driveline to slip for a millisecond under harsh spike loads, reducing the torque load to the system for optimal durability. A console-mounted shifter allows quicker gear selection between Reverse, Neutral, High and Low gears. Likewise, a dash-mounted switch activates 2- or 4-wheel drive with differential lock. Four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, enhanced braking. Electronic Power Steering Yet another first-in-class technology, the addition of Arctic Cat's Variable Assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS) on the Wildcat delivers even greater steering control and ease. The EPS system is a managed electronic control unit (ECU) that measures steering input force, tire resistance and vehicle speed, and then provides the appropriate assist to the steering column through an electric motor. Steering assistance begins at idle, and varies based on the above inputs. The result: Light steering input effort at speed while maintaining the right amount of driver feedback to feel the limits of traction and control. The power assist is particularly noticeable at low speeds and when in 4WD (especially with the differential locked), where its reduced steering effort eases changing direction or navigating tough obstacles like washouts, rocks or mud. INTERIOR Comfortable and Controlled Arctic Cat engineers designed the Wildcat's interior for optimal occupant comfort, control and visibility. Contoured, high-back bucket seats with upper body supports deliver exceptional comfort and body stability, and rival any aftermarket suspension seat on the market. The cut and sewn design cradles the Wildcat occupants to minimize fatigue. A 3-point seat belt with an anti-cinch design keeps you in place and comfortable through the harshest terrain. Getting in and out of the Wildcat is quick and easy thanks to a tube-frame door with integrated nets. Pivoting from the rear and latching at the front via a simple one-latch mechanism, the doors open quickly and easily, swinging out of the way for hassle-free entry/departure. An infinitely adjustable tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust your steering preferences. A new 5-inch digital/analog round gauge provides great readability with its mid-dash location. It displays up to 14 critical operations including: clock/hour meter, fuel level, mode but- ton, set/reset button, odometer/trip, gear position, speedometer/tachometer, differential lock, drive select, high beam, battery condition, temperature and oil pressure. A locking glove box offers ample, convenient storage, while two easy-to-reach cup holders are located where beverages won't interfere with driving controls or arms. PREMIUM FEATURES The all-new Wildcat is rich with premium features starting with two automotive-style painted color choices: Black Metallic or Arctic Green Metallic. Class-leading LED headlights and taillights project a light that's clearer than an HID, with two times brighter Lumens than a halogen system (while utilizing 50 percent less wattage). The Wildcat's rear cargo bed has the largest capacity in its class with a 300 lb. payload to carry coolers and additional fuel containers. A 12V accessory outlet is located in the center console for GPS or cell phone adapters. The alternator capacity has been increased for accessory lights, radios or winches. The underside of the Wildcat features full-protection HDPE skid plates to glide over protruding obstacles, while the chassis utilizes maintenance-free bushings for hassle-free durability. ACCESSORIES Simple Customization Arctic Cat will offer more than 50 Wildcat-specific products for the ultimate in customization. These easy-to-install parts, accessories and upgrades can be used to personalize and compliment the lines of the ultimate pure sport ROV. An array of trick lightweight aluminum protective accessories will be available, like front and rear pre-runner bumpers, rock sliders, A-arm guards and skid plates. A contoured half windshield with a dust management system will divert the wind up and over the rider while the stylized T-top style roof with integrated rear spoiler and built in headliner has room to install your tunes. Look for other items like a gas can holder, spare tire carrier, cooler holder, fender flares and a box cover to arrive shortly among a host of other products. 2012 ARCTIC CAT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ENGINE DISPLACEMENT (CC) - 951 ENGINE TYPE - V-Twin, SOHC, 4-stroke, 4-valve FUEL SYSTEM - Electronic Fuel Injection COOLING SYSTEM - Liquid TRANSMISSION/FINAL DRIVE - Duramatic CVT P/R/N/L/H; Shaft DRIVE SYSTEM - Electric 2/4 WD w/ 4WD Lock SUSPENSION TRAVEL FRONT (IN./CM) - 17/43.2 SUSPENSION TRAVEL REAR (IN./CM) - 18/45.7 GROUND CLEARANCE (IN./CM) - 13/33 SUSPENSION TYPE – FRONT - Double A-Arm (compression adjustment & reservoir) SUSPENSION TYPE – REAR - 5-Link Trailing Arm, (compression adjustment & reservoir) FRONT/REAR BRAKES - 4 Wheel Hydraulic Disc PARKING BRAKE - Park in Transmission TIRE FRONT - 26x9R-14 TIRE REAR -26x11R-14 WHEELS - Aluminum FUEL CAPACITY (GAL./LITERS) - 8.8/33.3 BED BOX DIMENSIONS (IN./CM LxWxH) - 35.8 x 21 x 8.4 in. 90.9 x 53.3 x 21.3 cm BOX CAPACITY (LBS./KG) - 300/136.1 PAYLOAD CAPACITY (LBS./KG) - 740/335.6 LIGHTING FRONT - White LED, High/Low LIGHTING REAR - LED, Tail - Brake ADJUSTABLE STEERING - Tilt Steering Wheel ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING – Yes INSTRUMENTATION - Digital Gauge, Analog Speedometer, Odometer, Tachometer, Trip meter, Gear Indicator, Fuel Gauge, AWD Indicator, Hi-Temp/Low-Batt Lights, DC Outlet |

If it's got the same quality their sleds have then I might be on-board....
The EPS sounds amazing(& more like a car), The high back seats will help the back & are set up with holes for at least 4 points that I can see... Sounds REALLY exciting... I'll be talking to my local Polaris/ArcticCat dealer for sure... Just want to wait until the bugs are worked out & little things (example: clutch spacer) are discovered that might hinder performance... Anyhow, I think ArcticCat is opening extremely strong... Sounds as if they were waiting on the XP & didn't want to make Can-Ams mistake... Let the games begin... I'll keep cruisiminer RZR for a few years..... See where things end up

Coal in China keeps towns alive, at deadly cost
An average of 18 people die every day in China's coal mines.
View 2 photos
zoomJINJITAI VILLAGE, China–"You see that?" the gangly miner asks, pointing to a pile of coal just a shovel-length away at an open-air restaurant in this gritty, hillside town 100 kilometres west of Beijing.
"That's what makes this town. It's why thousands of men come from all over China to work here."
It's why the brothers Meng – Xianchen and Xianyou – came all the way from Inner Mongolia.
It's also why they died.
Working at night in an illegal coal mine, without safety equipment, for less than $10 a day, they didn't make it out when the earth began to shudder last Saturday.
Around 10 p.m., a few of their faster, more fortunate co-workers looked over their shoulders to see the Meng brothers swallowed up for all time. The tunnel they were in collapsed.
A rescue operation ensued.
Mine owner Dong Lihong fled – as did foreman Li Man – a sadly typical scenario in China's illegal mine business.
And by mid-week, when the rescue operation was called off, China was adding two more to its already lengthy list of dead miners.
Coal mining kills in China.
Official figures show at least 4,746 people died in mining accidents last year – 18 every working day, or about 90 per week.
Two-thirds of those, according to the state, are at small, illegal mines, just like the one that claimed the Mengs.
But some unofficial estimates peg the real death toll at two, three or even four times the official rate.
Regardless of the true total, August has been deadly.
This week, attention was riveted on the unfolding drama in Shandong province, where 172 miners were trapped in a flooded mine some 450 kilometres south of Beijing.
President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao called upon the state to marshal all "necessary means" to save the Shandong miners.
The secretary of the State Council, China's cabinet, was sent to the scene.
So was the director of China's State Administration for Worker Safety.
They weren't the only state representatives.
Riot police too were called in after frustrated relatives stormed the mine's offices and trashed furniture, demanding more information on their loved ones trapped in tunnels beneath the flood waters of the Wenhe River.
More information came, but it was not good: state authorities said Wednesday the 172 wouldn't be coming out. Not alive.
Huang Sheng, Shandong's deputy governor, told reporters there was "no hope" anyone would survive.
Experts said it would take 100 days to drain the mine.
As a single event, the death toll was huge – nine other miners also perished beneath water in nearby Minggong.
But the real, relentless and often overlooked tragedy is the daily death toll from mining in China that almost never gets reported.
For its part, the government admits the problem and says it's committed to cracking down on illegal mines. It has vowed to close 10,000 by year-end.
At first glance, Jinjitai Village appears to subscribe to the government's program.
A prominent sign at the village entrance states: "Illegal Mining Strictly Forbidden."
But miners here say they don't care if they toil in legal or illegal mines. They want work.
This week, while 20 security guards wearing white helmets stood guard at the mine that claimed the Meng brothers, down on Commercial St., a half-dozen miners were bent over bowls of noodles and Yanjing beer enjoying a midday meal and airing their views.
Their fingers were gnarled and blackened from the hard work of their trade.
None was willing to speak to a Western journalist on the record. But they weren't shy about criticizing the government's crackdown.
"Frankly, accidents here are a common occurrence," said one. "But villagers here count on these mines.
"There are thousands in these hills. If the government wants to shut these down, it will put tens of thousands out of work. Everyone here depends on them."
No one disagreed.
Asked if they are provided with proper safety equipment, one miner quickly offered, "Of course. We're given helmets and a flashlight."
One table of locals nearby, in clear defence of the local economy, out-and-out denied anyone had perished in a local mine.
"And why do you come here anyway? Why not go to Mentougou," one man said. "Six miners died there – and it's closer to Beijing."
Six miners did die in an illegal mine in Mentougou earlier this month. However, unlike Jinjitai's tragedy, mine owner Zhang Guangyu didn't get away. He died in the rubble.
As coal kills, it also fuels the engine that drives the juggernaut that is China's ever-expanding economy. And the nation's appetite for the fossil fuel seems boundless.
Along the grim road carved out of the valley floor that leads to Jinjitai Village, flanked by coal yards every few hundred metres, dozens upon dozens of coal-laden trucks grind their way east towards Beijing.
Coal fuels 70 to 75 per cent of China's energy needs, and every new discovery of a coal field is cause for banner headlines. "Another boost to energy resources," read one recently.
According to state media, coal consumption soared 18 per cent in the first six months of this year.
Whether China can actually stem the tide of dying miners while demand for the fuel rises, represents a conundrum for the government.
"Every one here lives off coal," one miner in Jinjitai said.
And some die of it.

"Un-painting" my fireplace
I have a painted fireplace (BOO) and today I saw a friend's fireplace was painted but didn't look like it. It basically had white paint but on top was some sort of sponge covering that seemed to be concrete. It actually looked like stone, and I'm trying to find a way to recreate that on my fireplace. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Without a picture of it not sure how anyone can suggest anything.
Google "Faux painting pictures" |

Sorry, I wasn't thinking. Here's a photo.
Looks like stone to me. I can't imagine anyone painting stone, but, I'm sure it has been done. About all you can do is interrogate your friend to get some info. Maybe she at least knows the technique that was used and the colors so you can attempt to recreate the look. It may take some experimentation and lots of patience.
She doesn't know because it was like that when they bought their house. Our best guess was white paint and cement with a sponge...
Thats the faux'ed one, right?
I have done that- used a different technique though. Basically you need to find the stone look you want and match ( no need for big quantities, qt or less) all the colors involved. Base coat with the lightest color. You could apply many ways, or combination of ways. sponge, old beat up brush that you use as a pounce brush, spray, -dream it up. To make realistic I used a very thinned down wood stain to 'age' the whole thing. grout can be different too Here's one I did-started out gloss white! I used an HVLP- cut out a brick sized hole in a peice of cardboard and hit spots all over with about 4 colors, washed the stain http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ireplace2d.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...eplace2a-1.jpg Need to be artistic and think about what you want it to look like, and play with things to achieve the look. |
I don't have the patience for faux finishes but have seen some beautiful work. BrushJockey's fireplace looks really nice.
As he said, you need to have an idea ahead of time of what you are trying to achieve and it is a good idea to practice on scraps of something before going "live". Just one other thing to mention. If yours is a wood burning fireplace, it will discolor from smoke and so forth. Be sure to write down what you do for the faux finish along with formulas for the glazes and so forth so you can recreate it all when it is time to touch up. |
I'm with you on both points |

In a celebrated passage from his Histoire de la Révolution Française, historian Jules Michelet (1833–1867) asserted that the French Revolution left no lasting monuments, only empty space. Pierre-Jean David d'Angers (1788–1856), perhaps the greatest sculptor of the early nineteenth century, made it his life's work to fill that void. This lecture follows David's attempts to reinvigorate and adapt the notion of a historical monument to the new social and political landscape of modernity.

Clove oil uses include digestive support and antioxidant support. Traditional Chinese Medicine used clove for digestive and respiratory support.
Today, it is still known for its immune boosting properties and is contained in Young Living's famous blend Thieves which contains cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lemon, and rosemary.
Clove oil uses have historically included all things dental. It's principal constituent eugenol, is used in the dental industry to numb the gums.
Did you know that Clove also has the largest antioxidant value of any single ingredient tested?
Right now it does! Longevity essential oil contains clove and other oils with high antioxidant values!
So, with all of these clove oil uses, let's easily take advantage of the health benefits every day using Clove Essential Oil! Just use a drop in your favorite recipe! There are so many more benefits listed below, so keep on reading!
I designed this section so you could use it as a fun and easy reference guide. It will tell you how to use your oil, what to use it for and provide you with more clove oil uses. It will also provide you with some fun tips, testimonials and oil trivia!
As I receive new tips and clove oil uses they will be added to the page, so check back often!
Want to Purchase Therapeutic Clove Oil?
Go to the Oil Shop! Buy Clove Essential Oil Here!
What is the Genus Species? Syzygium aromaticum (scientific name).
From what I have researched, clove also has several synonyms (same name for same plant). These are Eugenia caryophyllata, Eugenia caryophyllus, Caryophyllus aromaticus, Eugenia aromatica and Myrtus caryophyllus.
I have definitely seen Syzygium aromaticum, Eugenia caryophyllata and Eugenia caryophyllus used interchangeably and it does get confusing! If anyone finds any other information or finds this incorrect, please let me know!
Why is this Information Important? Well as you can see it is confusing when different names are used for the same plant. Additionally, there are 400 to 500 species of clove including several chemotypes.
A chemotype (CT) is a designation that tells you that the species has different chemical constituents. This usually occurs because the plant is grown in a different area under a distinct climate that alters the chemistry.
So, it is a good habit of purchasing essential oils using the common name and the genus species.
What is the Origin of the Plant Name? Clove comes from a Latin word "clavus" meaning "nail".
Why is this Information so Important? Its not, it's just a fun fact!
What Part of the Plant is Used? Flower bud and stem
What is the ORAC Value? 1,078,700 µTE/100g WOW!
What Does this Number Mean? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions! This was developed by the USDA researchers. For instance: Oranges = 750; Clove = 1,078,700. Wow! The number for clove is NOT a typo!
Most Interesting Historical Reference?
Did you know that Fennel is contained in Hildegard's Physica Book?
Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was known as the first herbalist and
naturopath of the middle ages. Her book documented her work.
What are the Plant Properties? Antioxidant. Energizing and revitalizing. Numbing (teeth) and warming.
What are the Documented Clove Uses and Benefits? Supportive of healthy immune and digestive system. Prevent free radical damage from aging and lifestyle (antioxidant). Help with occasional physical discomforts.
What is the Aromatic Affect on the Mind? Its hot and spicy aroma improves memory and assists in healing!
What is the Spiritual Influence? Clove oil uses includes the spiritual realm as well. Clove is said to provide insight into our pain and discomfort (physical or emotional).
We know that the physical and emotional are interwoven, we can't have one without the other. How many times have we had have hurt ourselves only to find out later there actually was a hidden meaning behind it?
For me, all the time! It was about eight years ago that I realized that every time I really just didn't want to go to work that day, I would throw my back out at the barn. And practically doing nothing! Self sabotage!
We all have days like that, but that was how I learned to "take a day off". I wasn't honoring that I needed a day off and needed to just take it on my own! That taught me how to be nourishing to myself.
So, clove can help us in this respect. It helps us reflect on the causes of our minor aches and pains; and assists us in releasing them because they no longer serve us! By the way, this is why I like that Clove is in PanAway Essential Oil Blend.
What Chakra is Affected? Solar plexus, heart and throat chakra.
What is the Corresponding Chakra Color? Deep Blue or Indigo.
How do I Use it?
Use diluted - 20:80 dilution (one part essential oil: four part of vegetable oil). Then,
Good oil for the First Aid Kit? No
Can this oil be used for Animals? Yes, but honestly it is such a hot oil that I use it in professionally made blends, such as Thieves or Melrose Essential Oils. If you would like to use clove than a very high level of dilution is recommended for pets.
Note about Animal Use: Certain oils can be very toxic to cats. Pine and citrus oils in particular that are not of therapeutic quality! Please consult your vet if you are not sure about applying any essential oil to your pet.
I only recommend using Young Living Oils on animals at this time.
What are the Safety Precautions? First, only use therapeutic grade essential oils for best results!
Because it is approved as a Food Additive (FA) by the FDA, food grade clove oil is readily available on the market. Please remember, these are not the same oils and are often adulterated (changed).
Clove is considered non-toxic at normal usage levels and is generally regarded as safe (GRAS). Can cause extreme skin irritation therefore dilution is recommended. Always dilute before applying to the skin or taking internally.
Although it may be used as a dietary supplement, it is advised not to use it in this manner for children under 6 years of age.
Check with your health care provider if taking a blood-thinning medication.
If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician.
Essential Oil Trivia?
Did you know that before the Dutch conquerors destroyed all the clove trees in the Spice Islands, the Penang people were very healthy people. This happened in the sixteenth century.
Did you know that Clove was one of the ingredients found in "Four Thieves Vinegar" or "Marseilles Vinegar"? Thieves used the formula when robbing graves of plague victims.

3 star hotel Apex Koh Kong Hotel Run by the ubiquitous Virak Buntham group that operates transport, hotels and more besides in Koh Kong, this hotel is absurdly good value given the central swimming pool and smart rooms... $10
Top Pick 3 star hotel Koh Kong City Hotel Ludicrous value for what you get, rooms include a huge bathroom, two double beds, 50 TV channels, full complement of toiletries, free water and – in the US$20 rooms – glorious river views.
4 star hotel Koh Kong Bay Hotel Koh Kong's first attempt at a boutique hotel, rooms here come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but it is not really worth investing significantly more money in the top end rooms... $32
Guest accommodation Koh Kong Guesthouse This budget choice has woody rooms sharing a bathroom upstairs off an appealing common area with river views and floor pillows. The concrete rooms downstairs are less appealing. $8
Guest accommodation 99 Guesthouse 99 Guesthouse offers basic guestrooms with a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. Featuring a sun terrace with seating on its 1st floor, the guesthouse is a 10-minute walk from the nearest beach... $8
Guest accommodation Chnerikray Guesthouse Chnerikray Guesthouse is located a 2-minute walk from the beach and provides comfortable accommodation with private bathroom facilities and a private balcony... $9
Resort Thmorda Garden Riverside Resort Built on Koh Kong River itself with free Kayak rides along the river, Thmorda Garden Riverside Resort features an in-house restaurant and offers free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property... $35
Guest accommodation Thann Tay Guesthouse Thann Tay Guesthouse is located in the town centre just 600 metres from Koh Kong Beach and 100 metres from Dang Tong Market... $12
2 star hotel Koh Pich Hotel Situated just a 15-minute walk from the beach Koh Pich Hotel features well-appointed guestrooms with free Wi-Fi access. Water-sport activities can be arranged at the 24-hour front desk... $12
Guest accommodation Raksmey Makara Guesthouse Raksmey Makara Guesthouse is situated just a 10-minute walk to the beach. It offers clean and comfortable accommodation with a private terrace and free Wi-Fi access is available at all areas...
Hotel resort Koh Kong Resort Property Location Located in Koh Kong, Koh Kong Resort is close to Dong Tong Market and Koh Kong Beach. This 4-star resort is within the region of Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary and Tatai Waterfall... $166
Top Pick Resort Oasis Bungalow Resort In a quiet rural area 2km north of the centre, this oasis of calm has a gorgeous infinity pool with views of the Cardamoms and five cheerful, spacious bungalows with all the amenities...
Hotel Asian Hotel A clean and comfortable hotel near the riverfront, it lacks the river views of its immediate rivals. The popular Baan Peakmai restaurant recently relocated downstairs, but lacks the atmosphere of old.
Guesthouse Blue Moon Guesthouse Nine neat, clean rooms with spiffy furnishings and hot water line a long, narrow courtyard. It's off the street so a peaceful night's sleep is definitely on the cards.
Guesthouse Dugout Hotel Smack in the centre of town, it's another nice value, just a small step down in cleanliness and amenities from the Asian Hotel. Five of the rooms are arrayed around a small pool and all have cable TV.
Guesthouse Paddy's Bamboo Guesthouse Paddy's targets backpackers with basic rooms, a balcony for chillin' and a pool table. Shoot for the wood-floored rooms upstairs with shared bathrooms...
Guesthouse Ps Guesthouse A single-storey hotel backing on to the riverfront, the 18 rooms are well-furnished with large beds, flatscreen TVs and tastefully decorared bathrooms. PS. we recommend it.
Guesthouse Rasmey Buntam Guesthouse A Khmer-style place with big rooms with shiny tiles and too much air freshener.

Existence and construction of randomization defining contrast subspaces for factorial designs
Ranjan, Pritam, Bingham, Derek R. and Dean, Angela M. (2009) Existence and construction of randomization defining contrast subspaces for factorial designs. The Annals of Statistics, 37, (6A), 3580-3599. (doi:10.1214/08-AOS644).
Full text not available from this repository.
Regular factorial designs with randomization restrictions are widely used in practice. This paper provides a unified approach to the construction of such designs using randomization defining contrast subspaces for the representation of randomization restrictions. We use finite projective geometry to determine the existence of designs with the required structure and develop a systematic approach for their construction. An attractive feature is that commonly used factorial designs with randomization restrictions are special cases of this general representation. Issues related to the use of these designs for particular factorial experiments are also addressed.

"The Dust Bowl" tells an eloquent tale of human fortitude through unforgettable images of strength and despair in the face of catastrophe, as well as contemporary photographs and survivor interviews.

Author Joyce Yoder from Glenwood Springs recently had her book "Memories from Grandma's Playhouse" published by AuthorHouse. Raised on a small farm in northern Lower Michigan, Joyce learned the value of working together as a family and the importance of the community and church pulling together during difficult times. She shares a poignant tale of her youth that may cause you to chuckle or bring tears to your eyes as you read about the good, the bad, the funny, the sad, and the mundane experiences that profoundly formed her character and identity. Childhood memories will be stirred in older readers, and children and younger readers will be amused at and educated in the reality of a simpler life and the lessons learned. "Memories from Grandma's Playhouse" is available for purchase from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. A book signing will be held at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, at the Church at Redstone, where the book will be available for purchase at a discounted price of $20.

Silbernagel casts new light on this history, and using details from historical documents, newspaper articles, and Ute oral histories, Silbernagel tracks what occurred with the Utes immediately after the events of Sept. 29, and in the months leading up to their removal from Colorado. A resident of western Colorado for 39 years, Silbernagel has been a journalist for 35 of those years, and for the past 17, he has been the editorial page editor of The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction.

First Deaf International Short Course Swimming Championship at RIT
The Winter Olympics may be just a few weeks away, but an international sporting event is occurring this week at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Approximately 100 athletes from nine countries are expected to compete in the Deaf International Short Course Swimming Championship beginning Tuesday, Jan. 14, through Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014.
One of the competitors, Scott Farrell, of North Tonawanda, N.Y., is on the RIT swim team. He and former teammate Scott Matchett, of Brighton, N.Y., have won medals swimming in Deaflympics events around the world. Both are competing, as is one of their Deaflympics teammates, Marcus Titus, from Tucson, Arizona, who is eyeing a spot on the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
Short course swimming competitions for the deaf have been held in Europe for many years, but usually with just swimmers from two teams competing. This is the first global short course swimming competition for deaf international athletes, and the first short course race for deaf swimmers in 25-meter events. It is being hosted by United States Deaf Swimming and Fairport Area Swim Team.
"We expect many deaf records to be set," said meet director Doug Matchett of Brighton. "We're very excited to make history here on the RIT/National Technical Institute for the Deaf campus and in Rochester."
Athletes are expected from the U.S., Russia, Canada, Mexico, England, Australia, Taiwan, Belarus and India.
Special lights have been installed in each pool lane by S&C Aquatic Specialties of Newark, N.Y., to give the swimmers visual cues when to get ready, get set and go.
The competition, which begins Tuesday at 6 p.m. and continues daily at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. through Friday, is open to the public at the RIT pool. Tickets are $20/day; proceeds benefit the RIT Swim Team.
