a post whose sole aim is to lighten the mood on a day when the Imperial President Barack Obama announces plans to exact JUSTICE from banks who predatorily gave loans they were required by the government to give to people they knew couldn't possibly pay them back, only now to be held responsible by that same government for having lent money to poor, put-upon people who had every right not only to a home, but to avoid paying for it should its value drop, or should the loan terms they signed end up being too much for them
Outside a few moments ago, I saw a trio of baby bunnies frolicking over a large snowdrift in my front yard. And though I know bunnies can't speak, I nevertheless could have sworn I heard one of the baby bunnies yell "wheeeeeee!" as he slid down the drift and was greeted by the other two.
Who were themselves smiling and laughing and drinking hot cocoa from tiny little mugs that read, "Happiness is a warm puppy."

As if one Cute Overload weren't enough…
Just keep thinking about those bunnies when the banks claw back those fines from you the customer.
I think I'm going to join the local City/County credit union. There's no way they'll be punished by Timmy Taxcheat, Eric the Gat, and Teh Won.
"I've got a theory."*
Please, we all know just how evil bunnies really are:
Damn, Geoff, you're quick…
I'll bet those big old banks were sure happy to be forcibly bailed out, and it's definitely their fault that Uncle Sugar wouldn't take his money back when they wanted to give it to him, ASAP.
They totally owe us.
I for one welcome our new cuteness overloads.
And for another take on bunnies:
The right kind of puppies would eat those bunnies.
Not this bunny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg&feature=related
While I have a high disdain for banks quick to line up at the federal trough, I just cannot manage the same outrage toward them as I do toward my fellow citizens who claim to be victims of 'predatory loans' that NO ONE forced them to take out.
"Damn, Geoff, you're quick…"
:-) Happens to be one of my all time favorite TV episodes so it came to mind right away.
Quite some time back, when Bubba was president, I had a discussion about homeownership with one of my colleagues. Our major point of disagreement was that I was on the side of the evil banksters and their insistance that one prove one's creditworthiness and have a substantial down payment in order to purchase a home. He insisted that homeownership was a right and not a privelidge. I told him that kind of thinking would lead to where we are now.
I am not taking any statisfaction in the fact that I have been proved right.
And, I would shot those bunnies. They eat up all my garden shoots. I have a rabbit fence, but it must have a sign on it that says "Welcome!"
Into the meds again, huh?
You must have excellent eyesight, else you couldn't have read the writing on the mugs.
Didn't the Unicorn Fairy Prince sue banks during his community organizing days?
He did, JD, in order to put them in the shape they are today that needs re-suing. Cloward-Piven works ok.
I have a high disdain for banks quick to line up at the federal trough
Me too, and that trough is their lifeblood (that and the inherent scam they've been running since at least 1919). It does need to be pointed out, however, that the right makes the frequent error of seeing banking as a private sector interest in a rose-colored view of Adam Smith's free market capitalism.
They are not that thing and in fact they spell its doom.
The entire US fiat/reserve monetary system, as a component of the global monetary system, is our worst nightmare. It will end this Republic and what you see happening right now is the result of the extreme aggregation of power in the corridor than extends from Wall Street to DC and back again.
This is the client state Jeff's been on about and it's this trainwreck that most threatens structural liberties, rights, and properties. See Jefferson, Thomas on the subject. A third of the world's wealth is on bank balance sheets. Given that banks and their shareholders number 000000001% of the globe's population and not a dime of its productive output, ask yourself how it got there.
When the occupying, communist American left try to stick up that system they are simple thugs and robbers. When the right defend it, however, they are absolutely dead wrong for so doing.
The American Revolution was triggered not by a sudden upwelling of noble ideals, but by the realization of the landed nobility and productive classes that the commercial and political domination of Great Britain was placing their wealth and liberty at risk.
Put another way: they awoke to the fact that the Status Quo no longer served their essential self-interests. When the Upper Caste and productive classes reach this same conclusion, then perhaps they will elect a transformational third party to sweep away the corrupt political class.
This new party must embody a moral imperative that acts as a social fractal: retaining power is not the goal. If the people want to restore the pathological aristocracy to power in two years, then by all means let them have it. They will do so without our complicity, interest payments, labor and servitude, for we have opted out of pathology.
Remember robosigning and the whole fraudclosure scandal? In a few days you can forget it. Because in America, the cost of contractual rights was just announced, and it is $25 billion: this is the amount of money that banks will pay to settle the fact that for years mortgages were issued and re-issued without proper title and liens on the underlying paper, courtesy of Linda Green et al. Why is this happening? Because staunch hold outs for equitable justice (at least until this point), the AGs of NY and California folded like cheap lawn chairs (we can't wait to find what corner office of Bank of America they end up in), but not before the one and only intervened. From the WSJ: "The Obama administration made a full-court press over the past four days to secure the support of key state attorneys general, including those from Florida, California and New York." Nothing like a little presidential persuasion to help one with overcoming one's conscience. Because in America the push to abrogate the very foundation of contractual agreements comes from the very top.
The bunny imagery evokes the shrieking "whee!" Geico pig, whom I detest. You have ruined my afternoon and likely my weekend, too.
You realize, of course, that this settlement is imposed on mortgage servicers and leaves out oooonnne little detail. Anyone see Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac anywhere?
It also doesn't address all of the law-abiding, mortage-paying howmowners who continue to pay on their loans, even when the property is underwater, because it is a legal obligation. The paying homeowners who end up financing this settlement. Oh, you thought it was coming out of the banks' pockets? Costs get passed along to the consumer in every industry. So, watch for bank fees to go up, credit card fees to go up, atm fees, origination, appraisal, interest rates, blah, blah, blah.
True, robo-signing and all was wrong- you must abide by the letter of the law if you are going to dispossess someone of their property. But in virtually all cases, the borrowers were in significant payment default. So to punish the banks for cutting corners on the foreclosure process, the non-paying foreclosed borrowers are going to get, what, $2,000, and the poor non-paying unforeclosed borrowers are going to get a principal write-down of what, $20,000? Can I now hear a chorus of "Strategic Defaults?" "Amen!"
I'm not even going near moral hazard here.
And before anyone heads for the exits to claim their free cash, check your mortgage. Fannie and Freddie are well over half of the market. So, if they have your loan, so sorry, too bad.
Responsibility is for suckers.
I want my Cash!
Also my Gas! Ass! and Grass!
In Barak Obama's America, EVERYBODY rides for free!
J, to the extent I understand your arguments regarding the our fiat monetary system and the unfolding problems thereof, I am outraged. Not necessarily at the 'banks' per se, but at those in the corridors of power who have foisted the system on us and then have manipulated it for their own ends against the rest of us.
My earlier comment was was focused directly on the issue of who is at fault for the mortgage foreclosure mess. Regardless of the the bigger issues involved, I just cannot bring myself to exonerate someone who signs a contract they can't live up to. To me, to say that it is not my fault that I can't pay, because the bank offered me too much, is to say I have no free will, no human agency, I'm too fucking stupid to make my own decisions and big brother needs to save me.
Granted that all occurs in your much bigger framework. So maybe the question does become one of: Does one have an obligation to honor ones commitments to an immoral system? I'll give that a qualified no. But then the question arises, if one sees little hope of successfully ending the immoral system and needs to survive in it in hopes of it being overthrown at some future date, does it then make sense to comply. I think there the answer is a qualified yes. There are some evils so great that personal survival is not the primary consideration and thus the qualified no, above.
So there are a lot of threads to be pulled in this whole monetary/banking/foreclosure mess. But I keep coming back to the idea that a prudent moral agent entangles him(her)self in the immoral system as little as possible. I mean, Proverbs goes back what, 4000+ years? And they knew back then that the borrower is servant unto the lender. That aspect of the mess is not a new problem.
So, should I buy a house now?
Interest Rates are at a 40(?) year low, which is as long as they've been keeping the records, or so I've heard.
So if you're in the market, and can put 20-25% down and your not worried about losing your job, paying for a wedding, fighting cancer or something else that's going to wipe out your savings, why not?
Of course the banks are going to get your share of their fine out of your loan fees….
"Of course the banks are going to get your share of their fine out of your loan fees…."
Yeah, also mortgage insurance is more than property taxes now days. Something like 1.25%.
As I understand it, if you can put 20% down, you don't have to carry mortgage insurance
escrow on the other hand.
Very astute, iron308. Your scope and poise are what's needed — I'd put it in the same category as Robby Boyd's, another PW commenter.
My plea to sound-minded patriots is that we must adopt similar sensibilities and not relent until we've convinced a nation. As that nation our survival depends on it.
If we are structuralists it's incumbent on us to oppose the profoundly, inexorably, and intentionally anti-structural force that is American monetary policy of today. It's not all RON PAUL! to identify it as the threat it is, and it's not an attack on capitalism per se. It's simply the realization that when an inherently and exponentially unstable system siphons off a nation's wealth and with it its resolve, we need to know these facts.
By popular demand, stump-grinding action.
The grinding continues as we speak, but it's too dark to film.
I paid off my home yesterday. The same home my wife and I have been paying on for years; an event we had planned to celebrate together; as we approached the end of it's hateful term it was with such satisfaction and anticipation and plans as to what we could do without that pesky monthly mortgage payment. Instead of buying a bigger and more expensive home, we'd chosen to refinance a 30-year loan down to 10 years, and take on higher payments just to cut away at that seemingly endless term. A correct decision. Kudos to us.
A terrible day it was, really.
Were the bunnies wearing helmets? Serious people would be asking that question as they plummeted recklessly down those precipices.
No one can say dicentra doesn't deliver.
My ex-boyfriends can. :-P
Wasn't it Liberty Savings and Loan in Chicago that these community organizers cut their teeth on? Back in the early eighties. As I recall some Jesse Jackson/ACORN organization forced them to close over, "red lining". The banks managers complained to the newspapers that they couldn't lend to anyone without collateral. The city sided with the community organizers.
I hate Chicago proggs.
Dude! I saw a roof-surfin' bird:

We don't know the legality of drone warfare, because right now we're at the stage of simply denying that it even happens.
Peter W. Singer, author of Wired for War: The Robotic Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century, testified before Congress on drone warfare last week. He spoke with Ian Masters about that testimony, and the nature of robotic warfare.
Singer began by addressing objections that drone actions do not constitute warfare:
This is by any other measure the equivalent of a war. It's about three times the number of air strikes we did in the opening round of the Kosovo war. But we don't view it as a war. And the real question here was, Is it because Congress hasn't weighed in, either to support it or to oppose it? Is it because it's being run by the CIA, not by the military, and so therefore it doesn't fall under the same authorization? Or is just the fact that we're using robotics, and so we don't view it in the same way?
These are not the only questions raised by long-distance drone strike. Central problems revolve around determining who is responsible for ordering the attacks:
We know when it's a military operation, there's a distinct chain of command; there's authorities that are followed; there are . . . people who are experienced in military affairs making decisions, for example over things like collateral damage. When it's authorized by a JAG officer, that's something that they've been weighing and learning about their entire career. The CIA, by comparison, its role is in the intelligence and gathering and analytic world. . . . It's an agency that's headed by civilian appointees . . . the simple reality is they're not someone who has spent their career as a lawyer focusing on things like, "How do I weigh the collateral damage of an air strike?" . . .The one pure air war campaign that we're fighting right now in Pakistan isn't being fought by the US Air Force. It's being fought by the CIA.
More fundamentally, the nation has yet to determine what constitutes the legal rules of engagement:
We don't know the legality of it because right now we're at the stage of simply denying that it even happens.
Singer went on to put these developments in context:
This is an introduction of a new weapon that's along the lines of the introduction of gunpowder; the introduction of the atomic bomb. It has that magnitude of consequences and ripple effects, in everything from our politics to our laws to our commerce.
Just as problematic, this technology as the power to make "war seem costless." When systems are "government owned [but] contractor operated," accountability gets ever more remote. "You don't have to worry as much about the political consequences of sending soldiers into harm's way," Singer explained.
I remember doing a discussion with a soldier, and he described how one of the great benefits of a robotics system is that he doesn't have to worry about writing a condolence letter to someone's mother.
Ultimately, the people at either end of the drone's weaponry come to live in almost alternate universes.
We describe them with adjectives like "costless," "efficient," "effective." Whereas [people in the Middle East] describe them as "cruel" and "cowardly." . . . So we're living in two very different worlds.
We are still in the early stages of understanding what robotic technology will become.
Robotics today is where the automobile was in 1909, or where the computer was in 1980, or where the airplane was in 1919.

Hi all,
My Ideapad Y560's screen turns off after 1 minute of being idle.
The current energy management settings says it should do this after 5 minutes of being idle. Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Figured it out. Turns out I had my screensaver set to 1 minute, and it was "Blank". Last I remembered, I had it at "No screensaver". Maybe it got changed when I changed my desktop theme. (this is for Win 7)

Hi jcheng461,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
I am a bit curious when you mentioned that you have done the settings in Lenovo Energy Management software but the Win 7 Power Scheme accessed via screen saver does not reflect the same.
I do not have ideapad but ThinkPad with Win XP installed. I notice that whatever i've changed in Power Manager software will be updated in Win XP Power Scheme settings. I'm not sure how ideapad works, but logically both utilities should be sync.
Are you sure have the latest Lenovo Energy management from support site?

Ready in 30 minutes
Okay! I took an old classic and revved it up! If you have guests coming over, this is a GREAT dish to prepare in a large pot as it looks really great at the table. And the flavors.... Ma ma mia!
Serve with any wine! The beautiful balance of flavours mean that pretty much anything from a Chardonnay to a Shiraz will fit in but avoid overly sweet wines. They will detract from the taste!
14 people want to try | 23 have favorited
1. Finely Chop the tomatoes. Set aside.
2. Finely chop Basil leaves. Set aside.
3. Heat 2-3 Table spoons Olive Oil in pan, and when hot, add chopped garlic and some (about a tablespoon) fresh Basil. When Fragrant, add Ground Oregano, and stir. Immediately add washed and drained shrimp.
4. Stir fry till prawns are cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
1. Cook penne in rapidly boiling, salted water as directed on package until al dente.
2. When cooked, remove from heat and drain well. Place penne in a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil.Coat well.
1. Reserve one cupful of Shrimp topping, cheese mix, and a handful of chopped Basil.
2. Mix remaining Cheese, pasta (while hot), Topping, Basil and Tomatoes. Mix well, adding salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve in large pot/serving platter topped with (reserved) Cheese, Basil, Pine nuts.
Serve immediately with Lemon wedges or Tabasco Sauce! Enjoy!
|My private notes
Ciminfot 7y agoDo not wait too long after the pasta is cooked to mix it all together. You can prepare the Topping before hand, and microwave it to heat it up, but cook the pasta fresh, a few minutes before dinner. That way, you will have the necessary temperature and texture to absorb the flavours AND melt the cheese. [I posted this recipe.]

New teaser for Chinese slasher flick HARPOON!
Not a great deal of information about this one at this stage beyond the fact that HARPOON is directed by Zhou Yaowu and stars the rather beautiful Monica Mok, who we all saw rather a lot of in OCEAN FLAME and seems to be in various states of undress here. The plot seems to revolve around a mysterious killer chasing a group of pretty young things around the island set of THE LIFE AQUATIC but as soon as we get more information on this project we shall share it right here. The film opens in China (and hopefully Hong Kong) in December and co-stars Hu Bing and Li Lingyu, but in the meantime, enjoy some stalking, a bit of skin and a few screams in the new teaser trailer.

I keep watching the degeneration of Scott DesJarlais' campaign with a great deal of interest. It amazes me that when I think that the news train, which has stayed in the media longer than I thought it would, might slow down, he and his staff go one step forward to keep it in the headlines.
Alison Gerber takes DesJarlais to task this morning after one of his staffers threatened to block press access to reporters at the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Their complaint was over an editorial cartoon published by Clay Bennett. She admits that the backlash on the controversial cartoon is part of managing the paper, and she has taken some licks for it, but at the end of the day, free speech has two sides of a very sharp sword.
Gerber plays hardball and explains not only the First Amendment in her editorial today but that free speech isn't always pretty.
She writes:
The congressman can retaliate against the newspaper by cutting off information to our reporters, but Sher and Carroll — two bulldog-ish reporters not easily intimidated — will still cover the race. If DesJarlais and his people won't talk to the newspaper, we'll still talk to his opponent, his supporters, his detractors and voters in his district.
Gasket-blowing over political cartoons is hardly a new thing. They've been steaming things up since, well, before the United States was even a country. They've also been shaping public opinion and influencing history.
An engraving by Paul Revere that depicted British troops firing on unarmed Colonials during the Boston Massacre of 1770 wasn't exactly how the event happened. Still, it was widely circulated in the Colonies and is credited with stirring up anti-British sentiment.
And here is my take on this, when DesJarlais' staffer tells Gerber, the managing editor of the Times Free Press, he's angry and that reporters will be cut off from news stories, it really isn't about that newspaper. It's about blocking the public from information from an elected official and a public servant. DesJarlais once again has shown obvious disregard for his constituents. Gerber called him out on it. Good for her and, quite frankly, his staffer should have known better because he extended a very bad news cycle for his boss who is already in heap of trouble with the public right now.
There are lessons to learn here for other candidates. The news isn't always going to be flattering but for God's sake don't make it worse by having one of your cronies throw gasoline on a burning fire. Temper tantrums don't show any kind of leadership on any level, and as I have said before, news is news and you aren't always going to get your finely honed press release in the paper. Reporters are not paid to be your friend, they are an extension of the public's trust and are the boots on the ground for their readers.
Gerber was right to educate DesJarlais' staffer on the First Amendment and that free speech is messy but it's the right every single American citizen in this country has.
UPDATED: Aunt B. also weighs in on Gerber's editorial.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Colts' defense is starting to fill up with ex-Baltimore Ravens.
On Saturday, the team signed free agent Tom Zbikowski. The safety is the second former Baltimore player to join new coach Chuck Pagano in Indianapolis. Details of the contract were not immediately available.
The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder played the past four seasons in Baltimore. He has 49 career tackles, two interceptions, one sack and 58 special teams tackles since joining the NFL. He played in college at Notre Dame.
Pagano, the Ravens' former defensive coordinator, says Zbikowski's aggressive style suits what the Colts want in their new defense.
Earlier this week, Indy signed 298-pound defensive end Cory Redding from Baltimore. He agreed to a three-year contract.

Lake Titicaca from Peru
4 Amigos in South America
An hour later, the guide took us on yet another trek up the hill. This time was up to the town centre of the island. But it wasn't too bad. About 15 minutes of up hill and 20 minutes of flat path.
This island has a great Spanish influence. You can tell especially by the way the men dressed. With black pants, white shirt and black vest, they also wear hats they knit themselves to indicate their relationship status. White hat with red band and draped on the left meant the man is available and is looking for a girlfriend. If the white hat is draped on the right side, the man is with a girl or in a trail marriage which they live like husband and wife for 2 or 3 years before the real deed. There is no divorce allowed. Men with red hat are married and men with multi coloured hats means they are very important figures like the mayor or something. The women also have shorter skirt than the Amanati women. It was interesting to see the changes in clothing between the islands.
Unlike Amanati, Taquile is a lot more developed in terms of tourism. There are a quite few restaurants around the town centre. We had lunch at one a bit up the hill. But it had a stunting view of the lake and the village below. The grill trout fresh from Lake Titicaca was the best meal I had since our arrival in Peru.
After lunch it was time to head back to Puno in the wooden boat. The boat felt even more painfully slow. The return journey took more 3 hours. I stayed outside of the cabin and complete forgot how unforgiving the Peruvian sun can be. Without sunscreen, I sadly looked like a shinny tomato when I got off the boat. Tomorrow is going to suck!

Brendan Jackson will have a full analysis later. Suffice it to say the offense came though tonight: 9-of-20 from three, 31 points for Eddie House, 22 for Ray on 7-of-15 shooting and a ho-hum 15-18-11 line for Rondo.
With three triple-doubles in the playoffs, Rajon Rondo has already tied the Legend for most trip-dubs in one playoff season in Celtics history. Wow.
My favorite stat of the night: 16 minutes for Paul Pierce. Even if it's by accident, I'll take the rest.
Oh: Readers: Should Rafer Alston be suspended for his slap on Eddie House? Weigh in, and look for the usual solid analysis for Brendan later.

Sticky Bombs
The Sticky Bombs are new explosives that are exclusive to The Ballad of Gay Tony. They are thrown, and stick to any vehicle or surface they hit. They can then be detonated by pressing Down on the d-pad or shooting them. Note that unlike the Satchel Charges of San Andreas, these bombs do not stick to people. The Sticky Bombs are seen in the Weazel News Trailer, which is used by the Terrorism Expert. When thrown the bombs emit a steady beep and a yellow light flashes. When activated the beep rises in pitch and speed, and the light turns red, then after less than a second, they detonate. The blast radius is similar to a grenade.
You can place up to ten Sticky Bombs, throwing out the eleventh will cause the first one to disappear.
Many players prefer this weapons in drive-by's, due to the fact that they deal a large amount of damage, can stick to any vehicle, and can be detonated at any time (which allows them to be used somewhat like landmines). However, the player must be careful to ensure that their own car doesn't get caught in the blast radius, if used these against a vehicle in close proximity. Another factor to take in mind is how fragile they are. As mentioned above, shooting them will cause them to explode. However, they can be detonated via physical contact. If it is placed onto a vertical surface and rammed by a car, it will detonate. One must take care when using them in a drive-by that that car that the bomb is stuck on doesn't attempt to ram the player, as the impact may cause the bomb to explode.
Players must also be careful when in close proximity of a placed bomb, as they have a 90 second (approximately) fuse. Thus, if an armed bomb is left undetonated for 90 seconds, it will automatically detonate.

The Refugio High School senior won by more than 1,000 votes.
During the play, Whetsel broke six tackles and ran for a touchdown.
Shiloh explained the play to Channel 6's sports director Tyler Garrett.
"It was pretty crazy," Shiloh said. "I wasn't expecting it and it was pretty crazy when it happened."
Shiloh scampered right and saw defenders so he cut to the left.
"The guy had a hold on me but my little brother (Chase) knocked him off," Shiloh said. "It was almost the whole team, it seemed."
Linked to the state champion Bobcats, Shiloh gave his teammates credit.
"If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here."

I've noticed that I can't get to sleep on days that I've been on a ride...
it's not from any type of restless legs, they feel fine. I just don't feel tired, my body feels fine, I just don't go to sleep.
I can lay there and read and read and read, and when my eyes are tired, I try to go to sleep, but I end up just tossing and turning.
sunday night, i was still awake at 3am, had went to bed right before 11pm. I obviously had fallen asleep at one point, but I immediately wake up and have to roll over or something. I'd check the clock fairly often... 3:30, 3:50, 4:15, 4:45, etc.
has anyone else had this problem the night after they rode earlier in the day.
I generally ride after I get home from work, so I take off at 5 to 5:15pm. riding anywhere from 11-18 miles. on the weekends I like to do a little longer rides if I can and earlier in the day.
why am I still awake and not feeling tired at all? I finally go to sleep, but when the alarm goes off around 6:15am, I know I didn't get enough sleep.
I don't take any medication or sleep aids (i don't swallow pills, it's a phobia I have after I choked on some food as a young boy to the point of passing out), so melatonin is out for me.
any suggestions, thoughts... has anyone had this same problem?

2nd Place Isn't bad
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
I'm so excited to share this with you all. I was involve in a weight loss challenge at my work (old section, same building) and I figured the few weeks where I didn't work out because I was trying to get as much done on the house before I started my new job, had put me too far down on the list to be even close but I felt my overall weight loss was a great start to getting fit. So the results came in today from our final weight in yesterday and while I didn't win I did take second place. Wooo hooo! I worked hard and I know I made changes that will last. My will power is already so much stronger than it was 10 weeks ago when the challenge started.I lost a total of 10 pounds. I find myself craving my butter toffee almonds rather than a candy bar and with my almonds premeasured I know they are still in that healthy snack range (160 calories for 1 OZ.). I am back to working out and it feels great I bought myself an x-ball (like a UGI) and it's a bit heavier than I would have liked it gives me a great workout. When I workout with it at lunch time I have a hard time with eating my lunch when I return to my desk (my arms are shaky). My next thing to tackle is trying to add a bit of running in. My wonderful hubby bought me some running shoes and some great sports bras. So now I need to take the plunge and start running. I think I might start by taking my son out when I pick him up form Daycare and just trying to go around the block (E shaped block with 2 courts and a straight backside). I have never been a runner and whenever I tried in the past I hated it. It made everything seem slow and even pumping music couldn't make me like it. But now I can go on the elliptical for longer lengths so maybe I have the patience for it now.
Word of wisdom: there are no secrets to weight loss, like they say aim to lose 1-2 a week or 1% or your body weight. Take it slow you didn't put all that weight on in a week it won't come off in a week.
P.S. I'm always looking for a good buddy to help keep me in check. So if you want one too friend me on spark people.

/opt is filling.
I am planning on nfs mounting another drive at /opt/zimbra/backup/.
Am I going to have problems if I mv /opt/zimbra/backup to /opt/zimbra/backup.old right before I mount the filesystem?
I understand that backup performance will be degraded, but I have no other choices at the moment because I have no power for another array right now. And if another full backup kicks off this weekend, the filesystem will fill and crash Zimbra.
Thank you,

You have to remember that you should make sure any stuff that you load into you refrigerator (fridge) in hygiene condition. You don't know what kind of germs, virus or bacteria live inside the vegetables, meat, fruits, eggs, drinks, other foods. You have to get rid the virus, bacteria, germs, and dirt so they can't invade other food and drinks in the refrigerator.
A job with high sallary not always makes us happy. If we got a lot of stress and so many trouble on our job, we can not enjoy it. Bonus, allowances, lumpsum, pension fund, house to stay, incentives, insurance, vehicle, and other benefits from our job is no match for a job that we love. For example a job as high class lawyer is awful if we cant enjoy it. But if we like fishing, we can like a job of fisherman.
As a human we have to get sleep well at least eight hours a day to boost up our endurance and immunity from many disease. Flu is one of common disease on human that very annoying our daily activities. If we don't want to catch a flu we have to prevent our self by doing a healthy lifestyle everyday and also enough sleep.
Many people are deceived by the beauty and enjoyment of the world to spend most of time for something that does not significantly affect their future. Our time is very precious for activities that gives us long term benefits, to be easier in achieving success and happiness in the future.
Having habit turning off the lights and other lighting when going to sleep have some health benefits to human. By sleeping in darkness in the long term we can avoid dangerous cancer such as prostate cancer and breast cancer feared by humans. Rather than taking chemical medication it would be better prevent cancer by changing our lifestyle.
When you have a sore throat due to the flu, inflammation, or the other throat problems such as turned into a nasal voice, heavy voice, missing voice, hoarseness, and more. Instead of using chemical drugs to treat the problem of your voice, it would be better if you're using natural medication.
One powerful way to avoid and prevent stroke is to stop completely from smoking and drinking alcohol from now on. Why so? due to smoking and drinking alcohol increase the risk of stroke up to 200-fold. Cigarettes and alcohol was the source of the disease, so you should warn the beloved family if you don't want they become the victims of industry which only interested in money.
Many people are not grateful to the conditions that exist at present. One of the reason of a lot of people is just want to have a slender body. If a lot of efforts already done for weight loss there is no good results and also the efforts can make our body sick then you should not doing that. If you already healthy and happy with yourself (other than your body shape) you would be better to do nothing with your body shape that can harm the body.

The man who was reportedly armed and suicidal in the Whitetail Run development near Kenton has been taken into custody without incident by Delaware State Police.
At about 7:30 p.m. the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team entered the house on West Deer Trail Road and found the 55-year-old man uninjured. He was taken to a local hospital for an evaluation, according to State Police Sgt. Paul G. Shavack.
Police had evacuated several nearby homes and closed the entrance to the development after receiving the report about the man at about 3 p.m.
There were no injuries as a result of this incident.
The residents who were evacuated from the neighborhood or who weren't allowed to enter the development have now been permitted to return to their houses. Roads within the White Tail development have been reopened.
Troopers continue to investigate this incident. No charges have been filed at this time, Sgt. Shavack said.
Delaware State Police have evacuated several homes and blocked off the entrance to a Kenton-area neighborhood after a report of an armed suicidal man barricaded inside a home in the neighborhood.
The man is in a home on West Deer Trail Road in the Whitetail Run neighborhood off of Seven Hickories Road (Route 42) just east of Kenton, according to State Police Sgt. Paul G. Shavack.
Police received the report about the man at about 3 p.m.
The Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team and Conflict Management Team are attempting to make contact with the man to attempt to persuade him to surrender.

A $2 million American Indian detention center for youth offenders remains empty and non-functioning five years after it was built using Justice Department grants, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis-St. Paul reported Sunday.
The center was finished in 2005 and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa, Minnesota's most cash-strapped tribe, expected the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to request more than $1 million a year to help run the 13,000-square-foot, 24-bed facility. But the BIA never requested the funding and the tribe said it does not have the money to operate the center. The tribe has now hired lawyers to take the federal government to court.
The plight of the Red Lake Band has caught the attention of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and has frustrated former Minnesota U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger.
Heffelfinger told the Star Tribune that the delay on opening the facility is "ridiculous."
"Just putting the bricks and mortar up and then walking away doesn't solve the problem," Heffelfinger told the newspaper.
A 2004 inspector general report of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was highly critical of efforts to open up more American Indian jails. According to the Star Tribune, the report said the detention program was "a national disgrace" that was hampered by "crisis of inaction, indifference, and mismanagement."
The DOJ and Bureau of Indian Affairs declined to comment to the newspaper.

Spring is coming and it's getting warmer. There are more and more green vegetables in shops, to the delight of my eyes , and despair of my wallet (the prices are still beyond seasonal). There is , however, something that costs pennies and perfectly evokes childhood memories of spring. It cress! In my family home we used to grow cress in the same way. Together with my mom we used to choose the most shapely bowl, put it in a bigger plate and carefully cover it with cotton. Then the cotton (soaked with water) was thoroughly covered with previously soaked cress seeds.
In childhood the cress tasted best with a slice of buttered bread. Now this combination is impossible for me but decided to bring back this "common" sprouts in a new scene of the salad. I must admit it came out delicious. Cress fits perfectly with the other ingredients i just love: goat cheese and beets.

City's No. 1 dreamer turns 200
Alonzo Horton bought downtown for 33 cents an acre in 1867 and built a city
You know Horton Plaza - the big, colorful downtown shopping center.
And next to it is Horton Plaza park, the half-block green space with Irving J. Gill's classic 1910 fountain, both of which are being restored.
San Diego also has Horton Elementary School in Chollas View and Horton Avenue in Middletown.
These place names do not honor Dr. Seuss' Horton in "Horton Hears a Who."
We're talking about Alonzo Erastus Horton (1813-1909), revered as "Father Horton" because he was the father of modern San Diego.
Stepping in where others had failed, Horton at age 53 came to town in 1867, bought 800 acres at a city auction of public land for 33 cents an acre and had in hand in developing San Diego's maritime trade, tourist industry, its civic, cultural and commercial enterprises.
"There's nothing I can think of that parallels Horton and what he accomplished," said city planner Brian Mooney.
Horton birthday bash
Alonzo Horton's 200th birthday will be celebrated from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, on C Street between Third and Fourth Avenues. The event, sponsored by the Downtown San Diego Partnership, is part of its "tactical urbanism" campaign to make downtown streets more fun. There will be a birthday cake, music and games provided. Students at Horton Elementary will sing "Happy Birthday" when they line up before classes. Read about the school and its historically-minded principal.
Of course, many other people have come along since and endowed the city with its signature monuments, companies and institutions. But all stemmed from Horton.
"I'd rank him No. 1 among all those people," said Rick Crawford, local historian and head of the Central Library's special collections. "It was his development that gave us our city. He had the right idea at the right time."
For more information:
Read: "The Story of New San Diego and its Founder, Alonzo E. Horton," by Elizabeth MacPhail, 1979, San Diego Historical Society.
Online: San Diego History Center biography, sandiegohistory.org
See related timeline
Horton was born in Connecticut 200 years ago on Oct. 24, 1813, four years after Abraham Lincoln. His family soon moved to upstate New York and at age 23, he moved to Milwaukee.
Unlike the 16th president, most San Diegans would be hard pressed to say who Horton was and why he should be remembered today.
A few of Horton's claims to fame:
- He moved the city center from Old Town to the San Diego bayfront, the logical nexus of transportation and commerce.
- He helped select 1,400 acres adjacent to his subdivision in 1868 that became Balboa Park.
- He founded the San Diego Chamber of Commerce in 1870, served as president of the city's first bank and campaigned tirelessly for railroad service to the east.
- He built the city's first meeting hall and its first big hotel (supplanted by the U.S. Grant Hotel) and donated land for the county courthouse, still located at Broadway and Front Street.
"Alonzo Horton left behind a remarkable legacy that has shaped our modern city in countless ways," said Interim Mayor and Council President Todd Gloria, whose district includes the land Horton bought in 1867. "Two centuries after his birth, we can spot his influence in San Diego Bay, Old Town, Balboa Park and many other iconic locales that make our city so distinctive. He was a true visionary."
Before he arrived in San Diego, Horton's occupations had ranged from making baskets and barrels to trading cattle, land and wheat. He'd been a grocer, sailor, wrestler and furniture dealer. He'd serviced gold miners in California and fended off a riot in Panama. And he founded the village of Hortonville, 25 miles from Oshkosh, Wisc., in 1848.

XBL Gamertag: your mother...
PSN Name: artistadam
Xfire Identity: i said your mother!!
since this is nearing release, i figured it could use it's own topic...
well i got a chance to play the multiplayer beta last night, one of the benefits of being a playstation+ member , and so far, it's not all that good to be honest... they were only featuring one mode last night called "wanted" where you try to locate and kill another player blending into the crowd... and if you do anything to blow your cover, like killing that person or running in the open, you'll become a target yourself and be hunted down by other players, and breaking their line of site and hiding is the only way to lose the bounty on your head, which is damn near impossible to do in the small confined spaces of the beta...
i played this mode about a half dozen times and started to get extremely bored with it... supposedly there's another mode called, "alliance", which i would like to check out but, i am not as excited about it as i might of been had the "wanted" mode been more fun... i don't know, right now it feels like a cheap tacked-on mode for the sake of adding multiplayer to an already stellar single player experience...
trust me, i am sure the single player game will be fun as hell... i am just not so sure about the multiplayer just yet... and i am probably months away from actually checking this game out and playing it... i don't see myself buying this game at all... after not playing ACII after i beat it 100%, i don't want to waste my money on purchasing another AC so soon... i think i'll just rent this sometime next year...

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

This game is on my "post-Christmas" list. I love Assassin's Creed. I loved the first one and I jizzed for the second one. This one just doesn't appeal to me as much - although the multiplayer could be interesting. I think I was turned off by AC2's shitty DLC; like they were trying to milk the game for more than it was. I was hoping the next AC game would be the third in a trilogy that would wrap up the Desmond Miles story. It seems like they weren't able to move forward in history yet - I thought the next game was supposed to be more modern, featuring another assassin at another period of time; like they did with the second game.
I'm not saying they got lazy and just decided to use the engine, character models and essentially the same maps (only larger and rearranged) to put out another game; but it kind of feels like it.
I'll snag this eventually, but it's not going to be a day one purchase for me.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, 104-103, on a Gerald Green jumper and subsequent miss on the final possession by Kevin Martin. These are the basic facts. Another: the Wolves are now 0-10 in games decided by 4 points or less this season. You've probably heard that at this point. It's kind of a big deal, apparently.
Experiment time! Grab a coin. Or if you're lazy, or too good for change, use this virtual coin toss website. Flip the coin, real or digital, 10 times. On average, among all of these samples, the expectation is for the coin to come up heads five times and tails five times. Reasonable. Some of you will have skewed results, however, due to the whims of variance. On the extremes, a couple people might have seen one side or the other all 10 times. 1 in a thousand times, it happens.
Now do it again. But this time, before you start the variance train, pick a side and root for it. Feel the anger when these processes you know to be fated to chance repeatedly go against you, the certainty that probability will even out in the long run that slowly bleeds to pleading for just a couple to go your way — okay, maybe one? Really?! Not even one?
Finally, replace the coins with, you know, actual living, breathing people. People with whom most will never interact, yet feel an admiration bordering on unilateral bonding. Players who have tendencies and histories, memory both neurological and muscular, facets immeasurable with bearings on outcomes determined on the balance of a razor. Invest in the outcomes of those coin flips, understand their outcome on schemes bigger than chance.
Congratulations. You can kind of relate to the worst thoughts of a Wolves fan.

Quick battlefield burials have been the norm for hundreds of Years and whereas after the first and second world wars any body which could be identified as such was re-interred in area cemeteries. In England there is the German cemetery at Cannock Chase, the American cemetery near Cambridge and Tyne Cot in Belgium plus many smaller ones but this didnt happen in the battles of the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Once the bodies had been stripped of their weapons and protective gear they were thrown into a pit and covered over en mass.
In 1340 Waldemar Atterdag became King of The Danes and for some years the people of the Baltic islands had been growing fat on the trade between Sweden and Russian provinces. When Waldemar sorted out certain things wrong with his own people he began a period of rejuvenation and expansion. He then began to look at various provinces which had been taken from Denmark in the past by the Swedes, and taking them back. He had success in Scania and turned his attention to the Baltic and to the wealthy and strategically important region of the area including Gotland. In 1361 at midsummer he set out to capture the island of Oland and its fortress at Borgholm. On July 22nd this armada invaded Gotland at Vastergarn probably about 15 miles to the south of Visby. A battle, one of three on record, took place at Fjale fen where the peasant army were heavily defeated, the last defence was held in front of the gates of Visby and the peasants were finally destroyed
1905 a mass grave was found on the Island of Gotland and
in the years up to 1928 at least three more pits were
found. The final ones were found outside the gates of
Visby, a walled city. It is said that the merchants and
citizens of Visby were not used to fighting and refused
to help. They eventually capitulated after the peasants
had been slaughtered and bought the Danes off. The irony
of it was that the ship which was taking the booty back
home sank so that trip was for no gain of treasure.
The dead of the peasant defenders were stripped of virtually anything of value and any arms or armour and then flung into pits where they had been despatched. Over 1185 human remains were found in pits excavated and many more are known about - some inaccessible.
|Just a few were found still wearing minor bits of equipment such as this skull (one of two) with the mail coif still in position but many would have been very poorly equipped or armed. This is proved by the results of archaeological investigations which enabled a fairly detailed picture of injuries to be built up. The injuries inflicted on the poorly equipped defenders proved explicit and horrific and were categorised into three main types with subdivisions where required.
There were 456 wounds with visible evidence of cutting weapons, such as swords and axes. There were 126 which were from piercing weapons such as arrows, lances and "morning stars" which were a wooden ball studded with metal spikes and attached to a short handle with a chain and these were used against head and shoulders from above. There were also an undisclosed number of crushing injuries by the mace and war hammer. The latter were also often used to finish off the wounded.
|The cutting wounds were split into two groups, those which showed hacking evidence but finished at the bone and those which actually severed the bone were 29. For example in more than one case where a single well aimed blow with a sword had been aimed at the upper legs and gone straight through both severing them instantly. Some had evidence of more than one lesser blow before the killer blow was used either in or after the battle.
|War hammers were
also in evidence where a square section of the hammer
head showing in the shape of the section of the skull
which had been stove in. See the picture on the left
which points to three bodkin arrow points which had
penetrated the skull and two holes where a hammer had
been used and the skull split between them.
Double Top!
Which came first is unknown. A number of guesses can be made such as two quick hammer blows to fell the man and the arrows landing after, or a hail of arrows which he had turned his back on and then later two hammer blows to put him out of his misery. Before stripping and dumping him with his mates. The grouping of the arrow heads is particularly spectacular and it makes one wonder if they used the tactic of a hail of arrows as in the later battle of Crecy where it is said the English Longbow men kept 100,000 arrows in the air at one time.
Any problems, please contact the Churchmouse Website webmaster.

CoE Honduras Re-cap
Every licence plate in Honduras says, "Cuidamos los Bosques" – "We take care of our forests". Usually the things said on licence plates hold some truth. I was really curious to see how their forest really looked. During my time in San Pedro Sula we saw some coffee growing regions after the daily cuppings. There was some slash-and-burn agriculture to be seen but it was under control. On the average, the steep upper sections of the hills did have plenty of cover. Over all I was impressed with their forest management.
The National Judges narrowed a field of 170 (if I remember correctly) down to 52 coffees for us to judge. After the first round we had only narrowed it down to 40 coffees. One the second round, which was Thursday, we cupped all 40 coffees to see if they could pass an 84 on the CoE cupping form for the second time. The third round of cupping is actually only the top ten to establish the ranking and get descriptors for those coffees. At the end of it, only 33 coffees made it through. Over all the coffees were brilliant. On the last day I wrote "candy" under sweetness twice. I found about 4 different profiles. All were acidic. Some were so bright that they turned sour as they cooled. Speaking only of acidity there was a full range of acidities and concentrations. Some were soft well structured and malic, others pointed and phosphoric, some were dry and tartaric. I will get more into the profiles in a different post.
Before my first participation in the Cup of Excellence, I was a fan of the program. They have successfully identified producers that are producing quality and rewarded them with never heard of prices. There are real barriers to finding some of these coffees. Certain people in the coffee chain benefit from blending brilliant coffee with commercial grade to sell something passable. To those people discovering new areas is not in their advantage because they might lose their source of high quality coffee to bring up the quality of their blends.
Twenty Four coffee professionals spent a full week cupping coffee knowing only they are from Honduras. We only could talk about coffees by table position. Last year the Santa Barbra region dominated. This year was the same, but only because the cups stood up for themselves on strong tables. I'm now an even bigger fan of the CoE after going through the process.

Stars such as Canada's double Olympic champion Charles Hamelin, China's four-time Olympic gold medallist Wang Meng and Korea's Youth Olympic champion Suk Hee Shim took to the ice in front of thousands of fans at Sochi's Iceberg Skating Palace, which will host the short track speed skating and figure skating events during next year's Winter Games.
Hamelin, who won Olympic titles in the 500m and 5,000m relay in Vancouver in 2010, won both the 1,000m and 500m in Sochi and is already hoping the results prove to be a good omen for the 2014 Winter Games, which begin on 7 February next year.
"I hope this is going to be a good sign for me in one year," said the 28-year-old.
2010 World Junior Champion Jin-Kyu Noh won the 1,500m race in Sochi and is guaranteed to win the overall World Cup title in the distance. He we will be a contender for next year's Olympic Games.
Team Russia won their first gold medal in the series in the Men's 5,000m Relay, however the reigning Olympic Champions Team Canada lead the World Cup classification.
In the Ladies field Wang took victory in the first women's 500m – her fifth gold medal of the series – to secure the overall World Cup title in the distance, while the youngest skater, sixteen year old Shim, continued her dominance in the women's 1,500m, claiming her fifth victory of the season to clinch the overall title with two events to go.
"Being the youngest one is difficult but there are some good moments because my older teammates support me."
Christie Elise (GBR) finished second in the 1,000m in Sochi, however she leads the World Cup classification in the distance and is a strong contender for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
2010 Olympic Gold medalists, Team China, won the Ladies 3,000m Relay in Sochi and it will be no easy task to knock them off that top spot next year.
