You knew what I was
Thursday, August 23, 2012
A young man was walking in the high mountains. As he passed along a rugged trail he noticed a large diamondback rattle snake lying at the side of the way. At first he thought it was dead, for it lay very still and looked lifeless. It had several deep wounds here and there along it`s body.
The young man thought how wonderful, I can take its skin and make a nice leather belt or had bands, I can use its rattle as a decoration, and I can eat its meat to recharge my energy for the walk back down the mountain. He knelt down close to the viper and was about to pick it up when he noticed just the slightest hint of movement at the end of its tail. Not enough to rattle, but enough to make the young man leap back away just as the viper struck out at him. The young ma quickly grabbed a long stick and approached the snake. The snake coiled itself and lifted up its head and rattle a warning.
The snake then spoke, "Young man do not do me harm! It is not right! I have been injured and barely escaped death. It is not right that you should now do me more harm."
"You were about to do me harm!" replied the young man. "Why should I not beat you to death and make you into leather?"
The viper relaxed just a hint and said, "At least listen to my story and then see if you do not have some pity for me. I was down at base of the mountain. I was sunning myself on a rock and a nasty young eagle swooped down and caught me from behind with his strong talons and carried me up, up , up into the sky. He tore my flesh with his sharp claws. I cried out for mersy."
He croaked at me, "You are a hunter. I am a hunter. You do not show mercy to your prey, and now that you are my prey you should show character and submit to your fate. You are a shifty viper and do not have good character, so I guess I should not expect you to show it."
"Oh master eagle you are brave and true, you are right we are both hunters. If you spare my life I will hunt for you. I will bring you fine fat rats, and tender mice and now and again a sweet juice bunny. If you spare me I will feed you."
The Eagle crowed back at me, "You are a viper, you are a lair. You twist your words like you twist your body. Deceit is in your nature. I would never trust you."
"I knew he was a cruel bird and I would not find any mercy. I cried out `I am dying` and then I went limp."
"The eagle shook me violently and then shook me again. I remained perfectly still. Then the fool let his iron grip slacken just enough and I coiled and struck and sank my fangs deep into his flesh. It was his turn to cry, but he did not."
He said, "Snake you have killed me. I shall never again soar over the mountains, I shall never float on the wind. I shall never stare into the sun, unblinking. I am the King of Birds and yet you have killed my. "
With his last breath he asked, "Why?"
I replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."
"As he fell, I fell and I landed here at the side of the road, far up in the mountains where it is could and where I shall surely die. Oh young man, will you not help me, will you not carry me down the mountain. If you do I will hunt for you. I will bring you fine fat rats, and tender mice and now and again a sweet juice bunny. If you spare me I will feed you."
"No, if I pick you up and carry you down the mountain you will bite me and I too will be as dead as the Eagle." Said the young man
"In fact you just tried to bite me!"
"Yes, but you were going to pick me up and make me into a belt. So help me now and I will do right by you, trust me." Said the snake.
The young man decided that he would help the snake and so he picked him up and wrapped him inside his jacket and kept him warm and out of the cool mountain air. The walked for several hours until they had arrived at the foot of the mountain. The young man knelt near a rock that had been warmed by the sun. He reached into his jacket to get the viper out and place it on the sunny warm rock. Then to his great shock he felt a burning fire in his wrist and he pulled his arm out with the snake hanging from his wrists both fangs sunk deep into his flesh. He could feel the burn up his arm as the poison spread towards his heart.
"You have killed me. I picked you up and brought you safely down of the mountain and now you have killed me. Why?" asked the young man.
As the snake slithered away, he replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

I had a friend who had a very manipulative and controlling woman who asked him to work with her adult children. They were each quite bright and had lots of skills and advantages, but each was failing in life in various ways. My friends perception was the this woman, "mom in this case" was very much involved with the reasons the kids (now adults) continued to fail. She blamed the kids and constantly emphased all she had done for them, all the successes she had modeled; in short, when talking about her kids problems she typically talked about her competence, skill and success.
Although she said she wanted to see here kids succeed, it was apparent that she had managed to get involved in past efforts in ways that tended to sabotage the progress of her children.
My friend John took that strategy of accepting this woman`s consistent tendency to find ways to manipulate her kids and to change the outcome of any work that several therapist had attempted. He met with each child and then with mom. To mom he said that he would not work with her kids because he did not like failure and he knew that she (Mom) was completely incapable of allowing her kids to grow up and become successful. He went so far as to say, "I do not see any hope of your kids become successful, because I perceive you to be an absolute failure as a parent, and I do not see any hope of you changing and allowing your kids to grow up."
Somewhere between six months and a year she came to John, demanding an apology, and demanding that he had completely misread the situation. Her reasons was, that her kids had all succeed in making dramatic changes in the proceeding half year.
John expressed doubt that he was wrong, but allowed that he might have to apologize if the kids continued to be successful over the next couple of years, and implied that he might even be willing to admit that he was wrong and she was right, if she returned in two or three years with evidence that the successes over the previous six months was more than just a blip on the map.
I did not hear if she every returned or if the kids ended up maintaining their success over the long term.

I tend to think of people as being very trust worthy; however, sometimes we must be clear on what it is we can trust them to do. I had three people I worked with, one was, in my opinion, mean spirited and would do a harm because she liked to do harm. The second would only do harm to another if there was some advantage to her. The final person would go out of her way to not do harm; even if that resulted in her suffering some harm. Over time and through various situations each person exhibited her own pattern. Therefore I believed that I could trust each to behave consistently with her pattern as I knew it.
In that sense each was trustworthy, however, it was important to trust that each would response to a given situation consistent with her nature. When dealing with the first person, she could be trusted to take every advantage, to be hurtful in many small and large ways and all things being equal, to do harm.
Could she change, of course she could, would she change, not very likely. If I allowed myself to be done a harm in an interaction, well, it was my fault because I knew that was the "way she was".
I think the point is not to be distrustful, but to trust that people are most likely to do what they have always done. In the face of no evidence that someone has changed, we should anticipate that the person will do what s/he has always done.

Definitely makes a guy think.
I guess the core principle is although everyone deserves to be trusting, there are some individuals who always betray trust. It's so very difficult for a person of faith to accept that not every being is prepared to accept redemption . . . .

VATICAN CITY, MAY 30, 2012 (Zenit.org).- On Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI gathered with 50,000 members of the Italian charismatic movement 'Renewal in the Spirit' to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its founding. The celebration, which was held on the eve of Pentecost, took place in St. Peter's Square.
An offspring of the charismatic renewal of the 1970's, Renewal in the Spirit is comprised of of both lay and religious. The movement is actively involved in evangelization efforts, cultural and social events aimed at promoting a "culture of Pentecost." The statutes of their rule of life was approved on January 30, 2007 by the Italian Bishops Conference.
The pope expressed his joy and gratitude for the fruits the movement has produced.
"In these last decades – 40 years – you have made an effort to offer your specific contribution to the spreading of the Kingdom of God and to the building up of the Christian community, nourishing the communion with the Successor of Peter, with the Pastors of the whole Church," he said. "And you have sought to propose this experience to new generations, manifesting the joy of the new life in the Spirit, through a broad work of formation and multiple activities linked to the new evangelization and to the mission 'ad gentes' (to the nations)."
The pontiff concluded his address urging members of the movement to continue being credible witnesses of faith and expressed his pleasure at "proposing a spiritual animation together with initiatives on behalf of those who suffer from situations of poverty and marginalization."
"Do not tire of turning to heaven: the world needs prayer", the Holy Father urged. "It needs men and women who feel the attraction of heaven in their lives, who make the praise of the Lord a new way of life."

The Question is:
Please tell me what causes this during a backup to a TZ88 DLT.
The Answer is :
This can be caused by dismounting a cartridge tape with the unload option -- only after a media swap (removal and re-insertion) can the media be accessed. This parallels the behaviour of traditional tape storage: once a tape is unloaded, operator intervention is required. -- VOLINV, volume is not software enabled Facility: SYSTEM, System Services Explanation: The volume valid bit is not set for the volume. All physical and logical I/O operations will be rejected until the bit is set. User Action: Check for a programming error. Verify that the volume is mounted and loaded. Check to see that the power is on before retrying the program.

Use Fossil Water Now, or Save It for Later?
Jordan's groundwater from the desert will be transported to Amman, a trade-off between consuming a strategic resource, and keeping the country up and running.
This segment is part of the Engineers of the New Millennium: The Global Water Challenge Special Report.
Transcript: Jordan's Ancient Water Problem
Othman Kurdi: We're not just mining water. We need water, urgently need it.
Francesco Ferorelli: Othman Kurdi is in charge of an ambitious plan to pump groundwater from Jordan's desert and transport it all the way across the country, to Amman. It's called the Disi Water Conveyance Project, and Kurdi's office at the Ministry of Water and Irrigation is buzzing with activity.
Othman Kurdi: The project is meant to convey about 100 million cubic meters from the Disi area to Amman through a piping conveyor system.
Francesco Ferorelli: That's 3.5 billion cubic feet of water that will travel 200 miles, mostly uphill. A cubic foot is roughly the size and weight of a bulldog, so in one year, they'll pump the equivalent of 3½ billion short, stocky dogs through a pipeline.
Othman Kurdi: It's not rocket science, but it is a challenge, it's a megaproject.
Francesco Ferorelli: Amman's residents will be drinking water that dribbled into the ground during the Pleistocene era some 35 000 years ago. This water basically hasn't moved since mastodons and Neanderthals prowled the planet. Susan Kilani is a water ministry official, and she considers the fact that any amount of Disi water they drink will be irreplaceable.
Susan Kilani: Any amount you withdraw, it will be somehow beyond the safe yield.
Francesco Ferorelli: Deciding to pump this water is a trade-off between consuming a strategic resource and keeping the country up and running.
Susan Kilani: We have increasing demand, increasing population, increasing investment in the country, which needs more water. Always the demand is rising up.
Francesco Ferorelli: Demand is rising for water that was scarce to begin with. Nisreen Haddadin, a resource planner for the ministry, explains.
Nisreen Haddadin: Our main water resource is the rainfall.
Francesco Ferorelli: She just said that one of Jordan's main sources of water is rainfall. That's puzzling, because 80 percent of Jordan is desert.
Nisreen Haddadin: The desert area, the rainfall there is less than 100 millimeters per year.
Francesco Ferorelli: That means most of Jordan gets considerably less rainfall than the Gobi Desert. So rain in the highlands, the remaining 20 percent, is the real water resource.
Nisreen Haddadin: And in the highlands, the evaporation is very high, like it reaches more than 90 percent.
Francesco Ferorelli: In other words, Jordanians don't get nearly enough water. With Amman's population booming, more extreme measures start to sound reasonable—such as tapping into nonreplenishable resources 200 miles away. There's even a twist: This water happens to be highly radioactive. And that raises a whole other set of problems. But Kurdi says he has a simple solution.
Othman Kurdi: We don't need any treatment for Disi water except for blending.
Francesco Ferorelli: Blending the water with Amman's current supply might dilute the radioactivity down to acceptable levels. For now, no one can be sure that the water will come out clean and safe to drink. Kurdi is convinced he'll make it work.
Othman Kurdi: We gonna implement this project for sure, inch'allah, we say, God willing. We'll implement this project because this is what we need. And by the way, this will not solve the problem of Jordan; this will just maintain the status quo of the supply, i.e., once a week.
Francesco Ferorelli: Residents will continue to have water deliveries just once a week. Radioactivity aside, drinking fossil water buys Jordan time for what the water ministry really dreams of building: the Red-Dead Canal, a man-made waterway that would connect the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, remaking Jordan's landscape along the way.
Francesco Ferorelli: For Spectrum Radio, I'm Francesco Ferorelli.

Perfumes: The A-Z Guide
Bee Wilson writes:
Spray a rose scent and you think of roses. A jasmine scent, and you think of jasmine blossom. The representations may be better or worse – you may smell a rose perfume and think: this smells nothing like real roses – but they are imitations even so, however pale. The genius of Chanel No. 5, invented by Coco Chanel in collaboration with Ernest Beaux in 1920-21, is that – in keeping with Chanel's friendships with Diaghilev and Stravinsky – it was the first abstract perfume: it smelled like nothing else. Chanel No. 5 was not the first compound perfume. Jicky by Guerlain – with notes of lavender, civet, vanilla and herbs – has been in continuous production since 1889. But Chanel No. 5 – first known as Eau Chanel – was the first to move beyond perfume which smelled of something to perfume which smelled of pure fashion. In Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, which reviews perfumes as if they were works of art (which they are), Luca Turin compares No. 5 to a Brancusi sculpture:

The PASS 2011 elections season is officially upon us with today's opening of the call for Nomination Committee (NomCom) applications.
The NomCom is at the heart of the elections process, ensuring that each applicant for the four open Board of Director seats in this year's general election possesses the characteristics and attributes necessary to lead the world's largest independent, user-led organization for SQL Server professionals. This year, the PASS community will select three of the NomCom members, who will join me and another Board member on the 5-person committee.
To be eligible for the NomCom, candidates must have a demonstrable track record of volunteering with PASS, such as serving as a Regional Mentor, Chapter Leader, Virtual Chapter Leader, Program Committee member, or speaker (at PASS Summit, PASS SQLRally, SQLSaturday, or 24 Hours of PASS) or participating in other volunteer capacities.
If you meet the eligibility requirements and would like to serve on the NomCom, I encourage you to submit an application by August 19. NomCom voting will run from August 24 to September 9, with all PASS members as of June 1, 2011, eligible to vote. The top three vote-getters will be elected to the NomCom and immediately get down to the business of managing this year's general election process.
Note that the NomCom is an essential part of the PASS Board of Directors elections process and requires a substantial commitment of time and effort. By applying for the NomCom, you are agreeing to the time commitments of the entire general election process – including a lengthy applicant interview process currently set to start in late November or early December.
Serving on the NomCom, however, is also an extremely satisfying experience and one of the most important ways you can give back to the PASS community. If you're interested in running for the NomCom or know someone who would make an ideal candidate, please review the details on the PASS Elections website, which includes a complete timeline for this year's elections process. And make sure to follow and join in the discussion on twitter using the #passvotes hashtag.
Thanks for getting involved!

Texas-Oklahoma rivalry extends to high school level with big Saturday doubleheader
Saturday's doubleheader at Pennington Field will see DeSoto and Euless Trinity play out-of-state teams. But these aren't ordinary out-of-state schools.
Jenks and Tulsa Union come from Oklahoma. For some, the Red River Rivalry between the University of Texas and University of Oklahoma, which has been played 106 times, will have a small continuation Saturday.
"You know how Texas and Oklahoma go way back," Trinity coach Steve Lineweaver said. "There might be a little bit more interest, particularly up here in North Texas. We're not that far away from the border.
"We're representing Texas. Let's go out and say it. We don't need any more of that pressure on ourselves, but it is what it is."
The unfamiliarity between the schools may prevent that rivalry atmosphere, according to Jenks coach Alan Trimble, but all coaches agree. State pride remains at stake.
Both Lineweaver and DeSoto coach Claude Mathis said they'll be rooting for each other, despite the two squaring off next weekend.
The same is true for the Oklahoma schools, which are perennial powers and bitter rivals. They often meet in the later rounds of the playoffs and just played each other last week, with Union scoring late to win, 14-7.
"It may be hard pressed for some of our fans to [cheer for each other], but I would fully expect Jenks fans and Union fans to be together on this," Union coach Kirk Fridrich said.
DeSoto and Jenks play first, at 4 p.m. Trimble said he hadn't "seen as talented a team on film in a while as DeSoto." On the other side, Mathis said he was impressed with the Trojans' physicality.
Trinity and Union will follow at 8 p.m. Trinity, which as of Thursday didn't know whether injured quarterback Matt Hawkins would play, will try to recover from a 31-24 overtime loss to Bellevue (Wash.) by facing the four-time defending Oklahoma 6A state champion.
Three teams know very little about their opponents. DeSoto is the outlier. Three coaches hail from Oklahoma. Linebackers coach Brian Stansberry graduated from Union. He has never beaten Jenks.
While a win will finally score Stansberry rivalry points, it would also be a victory for Texas football's reputation as a whole, according to Mathis.
"It's just a respect factor," Mathis said. "You never want to lose to another out-of-state team, because your bragging rights are gone."
Tale of the tape
Euless Trinity: Three-time state champion, with titles in 2005, 2007 and 2009
DeSoto: Never won state title, but has made playoffs 16 years in a row
Jenks: Twelve-time state champion
Tulsa Union: Eight-time state champion.
Together, Union and Jenks have combined to win Oklahoma state championships each of the last 16 years.

From http://numeric.scipy.org/array_interface.html: """ New since June 16, 2006: For safety-checking the return object from PyCObject_GetDesc(obj) should be a Python Tuple with the first object a Python string containing "PyArrayInterface Version 3" and whose second object is a reference to the object exposing the array interface (i.e. self). Older versions of the interface used the "desc" member of the PyCObject itself (do not confuse this with the "descr" member of the PyArrayInterface structure above --- they are two separate things) to hold the pointer to the object exposing the interface, thus you should make sure the object returned is a Tuple before assuming it is in a sanity check. In a sanity check it is recommended to only check for "PyArrayInterface Version" and not for the actual version number so that later versions will still be compatible. The old sanity check for the integer 2 in the first field is no longer necessary (but it is necessary to place the number 2 in that field so that objects reading the old version of the interface will still understand this one). """ I know that you changed that because of my suggestions, but I don't think it should stay like this. The idea was to have the "desc" member of the PyCObject a 'magic value' which can be used to determine that the PyCObjects "void *cobj" pointer really points to a PyArrayInterface structure. I have seen PyCObject uses before in this way, but I cannot find them any longer. If current implementations of the array interface use this pointer for other things (like keeping a reference to the array object), that's fine, and I don't think the specification should change. I think it is espscially dangerous to assume that the desc pointer is a PyObject pointer, Python will segfault if it is not. I suggest that you revert this change. Thomas

OAKLAND (AP) -- Port of Oakland officials say they plan to strengthen its expense policies after a high-ranking official is under investigation for spending thousands at a Houston strip club.
Port Board President Gilda Gonzales said Monday that they are looking to implement new policies as the board held an emergency closed-door meeting on Friday over a case involving maritime operations director James Kwon.
Kwon apparently racked up a tab of $4,500 at Treasures, a Houston strip club, while entertaining about a dozen shipping industry executives in 2008. A receipt submitted said the gathering was held at D. Houston Inc., the name of the strip club's parent company.
Kwon, who is in China attending another port conference, was unavailable for comment on Monday. He has been maritime director since 2007.
The Port's board is scheduled to meet again on Monday.

Setting the mood with candles and music may not be enough if your apartment's flow is off kilter. The ancient Chinese practice Feng Shui has been known to help bring harmony and balance to your space—so why not love as well?
Owner of Veritate Design firm in New York City, Benjamin Huntington, and certified Feng Shui consultant, Tisha Morris, provide advice on how to create an apartment space that is open to love.
Everything from a cluttered corner to a misplaced couch can have an effect on your space. The purpose of Feng Shui is to improve your well-being which could help end up enhancing your love life.
[Is Your Apartment a Dating Dealbreaker?]
"You want the feel, mood and lighting to be just right," Morris states."This is even more important when it takes place within your home, because it sets the stage for an eventual nesting for the two of you. Our home shows our personality, our passions and our preferences. Make it a good impression!"
Check out some tips and tricks from the experts on how to invite romance into your apartment:
1. Feng Shui Your Foyer
The entry way gives the first impression anyone has in your apartment. The right side of your apartment is the ideal place for artwork or a small coffee table with an open bowl displaying candles. "When you walk into a space, people instinctively tend to look to the right," Huntington says.
Huntington adds that the arrangement of the doorway is a "strong indicator of how welcome they feel." As an added touch, it's also important to have a side table for your date to place his or her keys or other belongings.
2. The Seating Arrangement
Huntington mentions that your living room set-up can affect whether or not your date feels comfortable in your apartment. Rearrange your furniture so your date can see the doorway at a glance. Also, make sure that when talking to your date that you face them at a 90-degree angle instead of directly or side by side.
[How to Arrange Furniture in Your Living Room]
"Body language and facial expressions are important as a read on how we're doing with other people," Huntington says.When setting up your bedroom, try to have two nightstands of the same height and weight on both sides of the bed. Morris informs that it "represents the equality (or lack thereof) in the relationship."
3. Artwork that Invites
When it comes to wall décor such as paintings and photographs, Huntington and Morris agree that it's important to hang up pictures of people you're close to in the living room. Keep those pictures of family and friends in your main gathering space and try to avoid hanging in the bedroom.
According to Rent.com's recent apartment dating dealbreakers survey, 15% of women prefer seeing those family photos in a date's apartment! Morris also adds that arranging your pillows and candles in pairs can make an impression on your date's subconscious.
4. Hues to Set the Mood
Chocolate brown, gorgeous burgundy and peaceful shades of blue or purple are perfect colors for the bedroom. When picking out decor, try to balance the line between serenity and passion for your personal space. To succeed at this unique look, Huntington adds a tip: "Paint the wall at the head of the bed a more saturated color than the walls." If your apartment lease says you can't paint, you can achieve this with a headboard.
5. De-clutter and Open Up
If you're prone to cluttering up your space, add some spring cleaning to your to-do list for this weekend! Our experts recommend leaving a significant amount of space in bookshelves, closets and even open display cases. Huntington also suggests leaving one drawer in your bedroom empty—making space signals that you are allowing someone else to enter your life.

Please let me know if you have additional questions and please do not forget to rate my service to you (not the state of the law) as that is the only way that I can get credit for my assistance to you.

Last time I checked PostgreSQL executes the subquery for each row. Apparently it must still be doing that and I do suspect that it is right in the overall sense because the subquery may have side effects. Consider SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id IN (select nextval('my_sequence')) Of course this query makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but perhaps there are similar ones where it does.

MOFA summons Japan officials over Tiaoyutais dispute
The China Post news staff and CNA Thursday, June 28, 2012, 12:08 am TWN
The China Post news staff and CNA--Foreign Minister Timothy Yang reiterated yesterday Taiwan's sovereignty over the Tiaoyutai Islands and said his ministry has summoned Japanese officials stationed in Taiwan to stress Taiwan's stance.
Yang said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) summoned officials of Japan's Interchange Association to express Taiwan's "serious concerns" with Japan's move to undermine Taiwan's sovereignty over the islands.
The Interchange Association is the Japanese quasi-official organization that deals with Taiwan-Japan exchanges in the absence of bilateral diplomatic ties.
Yang was responding to reports that eight members of parliament from the Tokyo area sailed toward the islands the previous day to investigate the local fishing situation as part of a plan to buy the islands. None of them set foot on any of the uninhabited islands that make up the Tiaoyutai archipelago.
The proposed purchase refers to remarks made by Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara in mid-April that Tokyo has decided to buy the islands.
Japanese media reported on Tuesday that airplanes belonging to Japan's Self-Defense Air Force spotted a Taiwanese Coast Guard vessel entering the territorial waters of the Tiaoyutais, which is known as the Senkakus in Japan.
The Taiwanese Coast Guard ship lingered for about half an hour before leaving the disputed island group, which is located roughly 170 kilometers northeast of Taiwan proper, and is under the administration of Taiwan's Yilan County Government.
The appearance of the ship in the area was interpreted by some as a response to the recent visit to the waters by the Tokyo City Council members, although officials at the Coast Guard Administration in Taipei did not comment on the ship's activities yesterday.
The Japan Coast Guard yesterday demanded that the Taiwanese coastal patrol boat leave the waters around the islands, prompting Japan to issue a formal protest that was rejected by MOFA.
Yang said the archipelago is the inherited territory of Taiwan, but that MOFA is willing to shelve the dispute and launch a joint venture with Japan to survey the area's oceanic resources.
The MOFA on Tuesday protested the trip of Tokyo City Council members to the waters off the contested Tiaoyutai Islands.
The ministry said it had called on Japan's representative office in Taiwan to lodge an official diplomatic protest against the unilateral activity of some Japanese to tour the Tiaoyutai Archipelago.
The MOFA reiterated that the Tiaoyutais are an integral part of the Republic of China's (R.O.C.) territory, and that its government opposes and will not accept any attempts to infringe on the nation's sovereignty over the archipelago.
It urged all people or parties in Japan not to take any actions or make comments that could interfere with the R.O.C.'s sovereignty over the islands and affect the friendly relations between the two nations.
The ministry reaffirmed the R.O.C. government's four principles in the official policy of retaining the sovereignty, shelving disputes, peaceful and reciprocal actions, and joint development of the resources of the islands.
Taiwan, mainland China, and Japan all make persistent claims of sovereignty over the uninhabited Tiaoyutais, meaning "angler's platform" in Chinese language, which has long been part of Taiwan's traditional fishing grounds.
In more recent years, many believe there are rich gas and oil reserves in the area.

New uniforms unveiled
The Lightning unveiled its new logo and jerseys today at the team's annual IceFest, choosing to modernize the long-standing existing logo instead of opting for an entirely different look.
The new Lightning logo looks very similar to the old one, only with a more vibrant bolt, the "Tampa Bay" script more readable and the removal of the repetitive word "Lightning" from the logo.
Several Lightning players, including All-Star Martin St. Louis, walked down the red carpet to a stage the West Plaza of The St. Pete Times Forum, along with local TV personalities. Behind them a 50-foot jersey was unrolled from the top of the parking garage.
The release of the logo coincides with the league-wide uniform change to sleeker, tighter uniforms that are supposed to give players more mobility and be lighter.Both the Lightning's new logo and the new uniforms were designed by Reebok. The Lightning approached Reebok two years ago about changing the logo.
"They were presented with a unique opportunity," said J.J. Stelter, senior designer for Reebok. "They were just coming off the lockout and they were the defending World Champions. You don't want to totally re-invent that look. There are still many traditional quinessential Tampa Bay details."

Brazilian Rooftop Solar Cheaper than Grid: Government Report Out
EPE Releases Report on Integrating Solar Power into the Brazilian Grid Edit
What were their findings?
For distributed rooftop generation, solar power in Brazil is already competitive in some regions, with the cost of producing power from solar being less than that sold by 10 of Brazil's 63 electricity distributors. Following the introduction of ANEEL's net metering legislation in April of this year, a boom is expected in the commercial and industrial rooftop PV market as businesses look to reduce their energy costs.
For centralized power generation, EPE report that solar is not competitive with other energy resources nykl at present but with the downward spiralling prices of PV there is great potential. In addition, Brazil is keen to create a local industry around solar power and in order to do so EPE state that further incentives are likely to be required to achieve economies of scale. One mechanism EPE propose to the government is to introduce a solar specific auction that would send a clear message of Brazil's commitment to solar power.
Click here for a summary of further findings from the report:
The full version of the report, in Portuguese, can be read here:
So what next for the market?
On 16-17 October, ANEEL will come together in Sao Paulo with the representatives behind the pilot projects to discuss the next steps forward. Utilities including Eletrosul, Neoenergia, CELPE, Elektro & Rede Energia will unveil the latest from their first solar projects. MPX Energia, the company gaining a lot of press at present for their proposed expansion of their 1MW Taua solar project to 50MW will explain their bullish attitude to PV and Tecnometal, the first module production company in Brazil will present the case for local manufacturing.
Already many of the world's largest solar developers have confirmed to join, alongside Brazil's pioneering solar firms and leaders of the wind market who are exploring the sector. Attendees will look at the immediate steps to tap into the already cost competitive distributed generation market and hear the latest from the government on whether a solar auction could be on the cards.

Pick your meat, then celebrate Father's Day, 4th of July
Why not be adventurous this year for Father's Day and for the Fourth of July by raising the bar a bit on the meats that take center stage.
Then add sweet corn, a huge dark green salad, local cherries or apricots, green onion slices and toasted almonds.
Don't forget the watermelon and liquefied watermelon ice cubes for the lemonade.
My husband Fred says three meat recipes for a three-day weekend for the Fourth works for him.
Fortunately, my friends at the Pork Council, Turkey Federation (this is National Turkey Month) and the Beef Board have recipes I have used over the years that allow for personal preference to make the recipes your own. Here are some of them.
Happy Father's Day to my guy and all you caring dads out there.
And Happy Birthday United States of America!
Tomato Note — Dixie: many little tomatoes. Fred: big plants, few little tomatoes. Fred also stealing Dixie's panty hose ties for tomato plants.
Cherry Glazed Turkey Breast
1 (2 1/2 pounds) bone-in turkey breast half
1/2 cup cherry preserves (use local)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
I add minced garlic
Prepare grill for indirect heat cooking. Place turkey, skin-side-up on rack over drip pan. Cover and grill turkey breast 1–1 1/4 hours or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion of breast registers 165 degrees. Combine preserves/vinegar. Brush glaze on breast 1/2 hour before end of grilling. Remove turkey breast from grill; let stand 15 minutes. Slice breast and arrange on platter.
Caribbean Pork Sandwich
10 minutes preparation. 10 minutes cook. Serves 4.
4 loin pork chops, 3/4–1 inch thick
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup mayonnaise, OR light mayonnaise (fat free if you want)
1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
1 teaspoon lime zest, grated
4 ciabatta rolls
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
(Sweet onion slices)
Combine salt, pepper, cumin and allspice. Rub onto both sides of chops. Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
Prepare medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium high. Pat chops dry; grill, turning once, about 8–11 minutes or until internal temp reaches 155 degrees.
Place chops on cutting board; cover loosely with foil; rest 5 minutes.
Combine mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, lime zest and juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread 1–2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture on top half of rolls. Cut pork into thin slices; place on rolls, chewy country-style bread (whole wheat for me) or wrap in a whole wheat tortilla.
Tuck in leaf lettuce, tomato slices and thinly sliced sweet onions.
T-Bones with Sweet & Savory Steak Sauce
Serves 4.
Some dads just have to have steak on Father's Day!
2 beef T-Bone steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 16 ounces each)
2 teaspoon coarse grind black pepper
Sweet & Savory Steak Sauce:
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/3 cup chopped pitted dates (Can't find dates? Figs or prunes work)
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic (we like 2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally. Place sauce in blender or food processor container. Cover; pulse on and off for slightly chunky texture. (For a thinner sauce, stir in 1–2 teaspoons water.) Return sauce to saucepan; keep warm until ready to serve.
Press pepper evenly onto beef steaks. Grill steaks, uncovered, 14–16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 15–19 minutes) for medium rare (145 degrees) to medium (160 degrees) doneness, turning occasionally.
Remove bones; carve steaks crosswise into slices. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sauce.
Grilled Vidalia Onion with Orange-Honey Vinaigrette
From vidaliaonion.com.
2 large (about 1 1/2 pounds) Vidalia sweet onions cut in 8 (1/2 inch thick) slices
1/4 cup orange or tangerine juice or perhaps, white wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch-black pepper
Place Vidalia onion slices on grill. Grill until slightly softened and golden brown, about 3 minutes; turn and cook until tender, about 3 minutes longer. Combine orange juice, oil, vinegar, honey, salt and black pepper; spoon over grilled onions.

Palestine's death rate has fallen from 21.85 to 18.62 per thousand in a year and the birth rate has risen from 41.59 to 45.16 per thousand, according to the Government Health Department's report for 1935. Child death rate dropped from 157 to 131 per thousand.
The general health of the population has been highly satisfactory, the report says, with only usual seasonal epidemics. Because of a satisfactory rainy season in 1934, peasants and Bedouins had plenty of milk and meat.
The department gives the total population on June 30, 1935, as 1,194,529, including 759,904 Mohammedans, 320,000 Jews, and 103, 371 Christians. The Jews had a natural increase of 22.2 per thousand and the non-Jewish population, 21.1 per thousand.
The Jewish birth rate increased from 30.23 to 30.79, and the non-Jewish from 44.97 to 50.41.

Since the April 17 explosion at West Fertilizer, The Dallas Morning News has investigated the blast and the circumstances that led to it. The News found chronic safety failures from Washington, D.C., through Austin, into county courthouses, city halls and company offices.
Based on that reporting, here is one possible blueprint for fixing those failures.
Business: Voluntarily follow safety guidelines and fire codes. Reduce risks. Get an inspection and fix problems. Write and follow a meaningful emergency plan.
Federal: Inspect overlooked industries. Require a fire-code compliance statement on annual chemical reports. Clear the backlog of screening terrorist-watch chemicals.
State: Drop the county fire-codes ban; require them statewide. Require an annual company statement of fire code compliance. Have the state fire marshal inspect highest-risk businesses. Strengthen fertilizer dealer site-security checks; move the job from the state chemist to the Department of Public Safety.
Local: Adopt a fire code and inspect high-risk businesses. Seek pacts with companies. Set minimum distance between people and deadly risks.
Business: Take part in local emergency planning; if lacking, urge a revival. Enlist chambers of commerce and other business groups. Understand first responders' and neighbors' needs.
Federal: Reform the overall emergency planning system. Create red-flag alerts requiring agencies to share and check safety concerns. Weigh pros and cons of post-9/11 risk-plan disclosure limits.
State: Act even if the U.S. does not. Set clear local-planning rules. Create interagency red-flag alerts. Put chemical reports and security violations online. Put explosion risks in state environmental permits. Make the state accountable for safety.
Local: Learn local risks. Conduct chemical drills. Regularly convene companies, first responders, hospitals, etc. Insist on state involvement.
Business: Create programs for public reporting of safety incidents such as the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care program.
Federal: Collect comprehensive data about the cause and effects of all serious chemical accidents. Designate ammonium nitrate and other "reactive" chemicals as extremely hazardous. Restore full public access to the "worst-case scenario" plans that companies must file about those extremely hazardous substances. Fund the expansion of the National Toxic Substance Incidents Program.
State: Track information about all serious chemical accidents under public health rules. Join the National Toxic Substance Incidents Program.
Local: Provide online public access to information that companies already report on the quantities and types of hazardous chemicals at their facilities, such as the one created by the Heart of Texas Council of Governments.
Business: Create industrywide programs to encourage voluntary measures.
Federal: Set meaningful penalties for not filing reports. Publicize violations. Use enforcement as an opening for helping with overall safety.
State: Repeal state law banning penalties for not filing chemical reports. Set penalties for fire code and security violations. Use enforcement as an opening.
Local: Help businesses learn the law. Enforce fire codes. Work with state and federal enforcers.
Business: Find and fix safety concerns promptly. Buy adequate liability insurance (see State, below).
Federal: Adequately fund OSHA. Provide grants, with accountability, to local planners. Fund first-responders' real-time risk-data systems such as UT-Dallas' E-Plan. Invest in new accident-reporting systems. Use tax incentives to help small businesses improve safety.
State: Use $4 million in unspent chemical-fee collections to fund a state share of E-Plan. Create planning grants for rural areas. Raise the unreasonable cap on local fire control districts' taxing authority. Require and pay for volunteer firefighter training. Require insurance; create a high-risk pool, as with auto insurance. Require rate discounts for safety improvements, as with auto and home insurance. Grant tax exemptions for safety improvements, as with pollution-control equipment. Fund meaningful safety resources governmentwide.
Local: Seek ways to add some professional staff to volunteer fire departments. Fund fire codes and marshals; consider pacts with regional councils.

A little piece of heaven, Polmear Barn is a magnificent, detached holiday property with stunning views. It is just a few miles from some of the West Country's prettiest coastline with excellent surfing, pretty coves and dramatic coastal walks. Adjacent to the owners' home, it is lovingly converted and retains a huge amount of character whilst offering a stylish setting for family and friends to escape from it all. The interior is spacious with great attention to detail to make for a wonderful welcoming experience. Large French doors lead from both the living room and kitchen/dining-room out onto a sunny patio and pretty gardens, the perfect spot for al-fresco dining and summer barbecues. In winter the house is really cosy with the benefit of underfloor heating throughout and the charm of a fabulous wood-burning stove to add to the ambience. The pretty town of Camelford is just a 1-mile walk, where a good selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and of course freshly baked Cornish pasties can be found. The famous 18-hole Bowood Park golf course, regarded as one of the south west's premier parkland courses, is nearby, as is the start of the exquisite Camel Trail. The pretty fishing villages of Padstow, Port Isaac and Rock are also a must to visit and mystical Tintagel with the legendary King Arthur's Castle is just 15 minutes' drive.

I give T-Mac a lot of grief, but he brought it tonight, leading both teams with 35 points (26 in the second half) to carry the Rockets to a 95-86 victory at Portland.
Just as important as McGrady's contributions were those of the Houston bench, which outscored Portland's 29-12. The Rockets' bench breakdown has Aaron Brooks with 12 points, Luther Head 11, Carl Landry four and Chuck Hayes two. For Portland, only Channing Frye hit the mark, scoring all 12 of the Blazers' bench points.
The Rockets' defense held Portland to 39.8-percent shooting (33 of 83), which will win you a lot of games in this league.
The bad news is that the Rockets had to go the distance to beat Portland, which is the first game of a back-to-back. The good news is that Friday's game is at Seattle, which seems to spend extra time researching new ways to allow opponents to score.

A FORMER wine bar on Crane Street is set for a spicy transformation when it reopens as an Indian restaurant later this month.
Café Diwali will open on March 21 and replaces Cranes Wine Cafe which closed after three years trading on February 6.
The restaurant owners hope to create a new dining experience by combining Indian street food with craft beer.
Indian born chefs Rasheed and Bartkath say they will bring "the heart of India to our medieval city" with traditional Indian street food.
The pair met in Hyderabad nearly two decades ago and after searching for the right Salisbury restaurant for over a year they feel they have found the perfect venue.
General Manager Thom Belk said: "This is an exciting addition to what is becoming a great place for people to dine out. Rasheed and Barkath's vision with Café Diwali is ambitious and I'm delighted to be a part of it. We can't wait to welcome the people of Salisbury on March 21."
Café Diwali is currently recruiting for part time waiting and kitchen staff, if interested then contact Thom on 07502150588 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
More information on the restaurant can be found on their Facebook page.

To the Editor:
''Single Girls: Sex but Still No Respect'' (Arts & Ideas, Oct. 12) objects to treating single women as a group in need of validation. I couldn't agree more. But I was disappointed by the narrow view of single women presented.
Single women, with Sarah Jessica Parker as poster girl, are presumably white, childless, middle-class managers and professionals.
What about minority, poor or immigrant women who have failed to achieve economic freedom? What about lesbians who have yet to achieve sexual freedom? Or single women with children?
More than two decades ago, feminism was taken to task for constructions of womanhood informed primarily by the experiences of white, middle-class Western women. Unfortunately, this myopic view is still prevalent and has done much to undermine the potential of feminism.

RIVERSIDE (CNS) – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire dropped today for the 11th consecutive day, decreasing 1.3 cents to $4.053.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has decreased 9.6 cents over the past 11 days, including 1.2 cents on Friday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 6.3 cents less than one week ago, 4.3 cents lower than one month ago and 1.6 cents below what it was one year ago.
The streak of decreases was immediately preceded by 11 increases in 14 days that pushed the average price to its highest amount since May 19.
The dropping pump prices stem from continuing decreases to the wholesale price caused by an improving supply situation, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

The characters are simply superb.The first book allows the reader to get to grips with the personalities of the main two and as the story progresses through the first 4 books, we learn more about Machika and Rain; their backgrounds, their painful memories and hopeful spirits. It makes the two truly enchanting,
The art is, for the most part, simply beautiful, and the text makes it memorable. While art is, in truth, highly scarce online, even in black and white it's easy to appreciate the beauty of each message portrated by the work. But let me take the word "art" and apply it to more than just the drawings. The whole feel of the first 4 books is artistic, symbolic and thought provoking.
So why did the story and enjoyment scores suffer? Well, after volume 4, the pace of the plot slows down a little bit. It feels more forced, flows less and has less tension. The relationship between the main characters - Miaka and Rain - appears to have reached its limit, and the two no longer develop as much as they did before. The focus seems to be more on the minor characters, those who I didn't care for as much. While some old characters, those whom I was fond of, were brought back, their presence became almost tedious. Because of this, the plot dragged on a little.
Still, overall, it's a wonderful story. Well worth a read! read more

- The Story- The story is wonderful and touching. At the beginning it was quite average, but by the end of the first chapter, i've realised i'm totally captivated by it.
- The Art- Well, tastes different of course, but i loved it. You know, sometimes the picture is pretty and clean, but you cant see and feel all emotions of characters. This manga's art is perfect in that way.
-The Characters- They are just amazing, not only the main, but the supportings too. I've fall for Eury. i think he's great. And of course Rain and Machika...their relationship so sweet, gentle and soft. I wish with all my heart them to find their happiness.
- Enjoyment- well, as you can see. I'm exciting by this manga. It's full of adventure, good humor, sweetest romance, even though it has also a lot of drama. But anyway it's a great story.
- Overall- don't need any words i guess, just 10/10!
So if you like a mix of adventure, strong characters, deepest and sweet romance then it's definitely for you! read more

I remember stumbling on this series at my local library, it was a random volume 2--which I find odd even picking up since I hated reading out of order. I was completely drawn to it from that point on and couldn't wait until my holds would come, now this was before I had REAL internet...the dial-up stuff was running at my house; and I didn't even know scanlations was a thing--I was very young.
I love the authors art work and diverse characters. I remember being in middle school and hiding it under my desk because I couldn't wait to read it. There's so much nostalgia that I have for this series.
There's such good build up, climax, resolution, and conclusion. If you like complete and fulfilled closures, this would be it. There will be protagonists and antagonists, but by the end of it all, one feels very relatable and great sympathy for all the characters.
I don't know how else to convince anyone to read this series but it is one of my all time favorites! I don't understand how it's not an anime...a big loss really. read more

Ladies and gentleladies and as well as that, possible men. I am an idiot. The above I consider not a spoiler simply because in the first few chapters, this is, by all accounts the main drive of the story. The bond between two people, two rather amazing characters. The lovable, big idiot with a timespan of infinite and a hair length that would make Fabio grumble and the girl with a fiery heart that wants to Kill Him, Kiss Him. Not that manga.
It should be -so- cliche by now. Romance stories of odd couples are hardly unheard of, so I wanted to dislike this manga. I wanted to. Instead, this became, by all accounts, one of my favorite manga's. Ever. I adore it. Immortal Rain, until I came here, was like the last cookie, you hold it to you and treasure the fact it's yours and just yours. The taste only you get to treasure.
I read the whole story. I laughed at bits and I'm not joking, some parts did make me cry. The raw emotion I felt was wonderful, absolutely dang wonderful. It was a read that engaged me throughout and the only places I felt it fell were certain bits with art that felt over-used and also, the story in places does seem to be the same as it usually is. But after a while, the sheer bonds and development between each character, the grinning, insane and alone Sharem, the cocky, swaggering, brave Eury, the stressed out, lost and angered Ishmael, so many characters, so many things to look at.
In short, why read Immortal Rain? It's a rather, simply put, elegant look at the human condition, why we strive to feel things when everything around us makes us want to scream 'screw it' and not care anymore. The small events that make existence wonderful again. I may exaggerate, but it is a favorite to me. I implore you to read it and even if you don't agree with me? We'll talk about it. We'll be able to talk about it and much like the story itself, we'll have one more reason to give a damn about living a little and talking 'bout it. read more

The art is beautiful, crisp and clear. You can almost feel every little frown, smile or look of sadness.
The plot is addictive - it combines the drama, action, and loss with just the right amount of humour and romance to lighten the mood, in the appropriate places. The only reason I failed to give it top marks is beacuse it has certain moments where the pace could have been a little quicker, or it seemed a bit repetitive - but these were brief, and didn't majorly detract from the plot at all.
However, Immortal Rain's strongest point, by far, are it's characters. These characters, with their twisted, sad or lonely lives are what draw you into the series and hook you there. The main chacters, and key side characters, all have their pasts explored and developed. The characters never seem half hearted, or shallow. I remember first reading this series, 4 years ago, when I was 14, realising, for the first time in my life, I was jealous of a fictional character - Machika. You can't help but fall in love with Rain, and even a little with Eury, as the series gets on. The characters make you laugh, make you cry, make you anry - sometimes all three. You truly feel like you've read a much, much longer series than you actually have, because you simply know the characters so well.
I will finish this rambling, unpolished fangirl rant-ish review by simply saying this is a sometimes heartwarming, sometimes tragic story of love, loss, and the value of life. I am eagerly awaiting the conclusion in May, as I'm sure many are, and many who've waited much longer than I have too. There's no more I can say other than: read it. You'll never forget it. read more

After reading 62 chapters, I remain with the first few lines from volume 2, chapter 8:
I have no name, I have no form, I have no home. I will take your hand with these ethereal fingers. I will call you with this soundless voice.// If I could only embrace your flame in this empty heart.
I liked the story before reading those lines, but it was exactly them that made me love the story, the characters, and even... Yuca.
Pain is a double-edged sword: in Yuca it brings hatred and an almost sociopathic streak, while in Rain it brings a better understanding of the human soul. Both are in pain, and they struggle to end this scorching feeling. And, almost ironically, it is exactly Machika who, in spite of her young age, brings a sense of peace and love to their existence.
The visuals - are so contradictory to the grave plot of the story. It actually hightens the feelings we - the readers - have while reading. Such lovely colors and design that make us or - better said - made me cherish Rain and Machika's beautiful relationship even more.
The charaters are well-drawn and almost realistic. They deal with loss - of loved ones, of their humanity, of their freedom. They love and hate, fight and forgive. And even Yuca, who claims that he is sick of this world, shows signs of being able of feeling.
If there is one thing I dislike about this manga, it is only its 66 chapters span.

This is a very well-rounded manga. It has action, romance, suspense, tragedy- it has a little bit of everything. Once you begin, it's extremely hard to put it down. The story flows so well from one chapter to the next and you never know what is going to happen- not a moment of it is cliché.
I absolutely love the art in this story...
There is a noticeable difference around chapter 20 where the art improves greatly from chapter 1. The art almost seems like portraits of real people- it just draws you in because it's so alluring.
The main characters are well-detailed in back-story and personality. There are sooo many others in this story, yet you get a feel for every single one of them.
This is one of my favorites... An absolute must read! read more

The characters are great. The plot is pretty serious but the author also includes funny things that aren't cheesy. The plot keeps changing so you are never bored but you are still able to follow the story really easily.
This is is like 'Tokyo Crazy Paradise' meets 'Fullmetal Alchemist' meets 'Superior'. Well you might think that maybe my comparison is a little off but regardless I'm pretty sure you will love it. read more

The story is great. It blends adventure, romance, comedy, drama. Despite being a fantastical manga, it still has an incredible message. It's very hard to describe the feeling I had after reading it. All I can say is that it made me love being a human being despite all the hardships I just read.
The art, like in many manga, gets better as the story progresses. By the end, it's very clear and conveys so many emotions.
It's the characters that make this manga. Their development is remarkable. Rain's backstory is the most touching, yet strangely simple thing I have every read. They never give up on one another. Rain is just filled with so much love that you cannot help but love him back.
Read Immortal Rain! You won't regret it! read more

Honestly, there's so little that's different about the story that if I told you the differences that'd be spoilers because you know what'll happen next.
Characters are... good (and familiar), the world is very consistent in it's postapocalyptic feel (hey, I heard it somewhere else...), and even the narration will make you check twice if you're actually reading a new manga. It's good, but because it's inspired by something exceptional, and about only original input I managed to find was the teenage rambling like"Finding me in the darkness, the heavins cry and you sit on the balcony".
All in all, the story was interesting and fun to read, but so unoriginal that personally I'll never read it again. It's a good and enjoyable time killer, but not much else. You won't be enriched, suprised or anything after reading it. So, yeah, if you already read all the better manga and still have too much free time, give this one a go. read more

Just a word about the horrendous killings in Nebraska. First, by any definition, it was a terrorist attack as far as the families and citizens of that small town are concerned. Terror is a relative state of circumstances. If your child is kidnapped and slaughtered, that is terror. But, in this country, we require hundreds and thousands to count.
You can bet there will be no government compensation for those families though. Too bad it was not four men of Middle-Eastern descent who did the awful deed, or perhaps the dough would roll in. If we discover that the four ''terrorists'' are not U.S. citizens, will we proclaim Mexico as a terrorist state if indeed they hail from our southern neighbor?
Second, though Nebraska has a death penalty, they won't use it. They are enlightened out there I hear. Instead, if convicted, the four ''terrorists'' will be housed for life to the tune of $30,000 to $40,000 annually. Let's see, carry the one -- it is millions. They will be fed decent meals, and best of all, be provided free medical care and prescriptions.
All you uninsured might have to pick a felony to get that cancer taken care of. They will have access to drugs, reading materials and possibly TV all their lives. Somehow, the death penalty in cases like this sounds useful, appropriate and cheaper.

Russell Brand teased by Paloma Faith about marriage on Graham Norton show
Russell Brand has found himself on the receiving end of some near-the-knuckle comments about his marriage to
Katy Perry, after being ribbed by
Paloma Faith on The Graham Norton Show.
Paloma, who joined Russell and actress Emily Blunt on Graham's sofa for a show recorded earlier this week to be aired tonight on BBC1, entered into a discussion about marriage and engagement.
After Emily talked about her latest movie, The Five Year Engagement, the group got onto the subject of lengthy engagements and Emily noted: 'I think five years is too long – after two you should get another ring or something.'
Paloma then chipped in cheekily: 'I'd dump him if it was five years,' before telling Russell that his short-lived marriage was like 'getting a tattoo'.
Russell was married to pop star Katy Perry for just 14 months after a fairly short courtship and engagement, with the pair announcing their split at the end of December last year.
Despite Paloma's mocking comment, the comedian remained in good spirits during his interview with Graham, even discussing the Russell Brand topic of choice: flirting.
Talking about working with Helen Mirren in new Shakespeare movie adaptation The Tempest, he said, 'She is really beautiful and I had treated her with respect.
'It was the last day and I had a plane to catch so was dashing out of the building but as I was leaving Helen stopped me to say goodbye.
'I realised, in my rush to change and get out of the room, that I had my underpants in my hand. She asked what was in my hand and I said "my pants, do you want them?"
'A look of horror flickered momentarily across her eyes but she took them. She was so regal.'
Sitting next to him, Emily then asked if the underwear in question was dirty, to which Russell replied: 'They were worn, which some would say elevated them as a garment.'
The Graham Norton Show airs tonight at 10.35pm on BBC1.

For the last 2 days I lost my goggle and twitter apps. Both application Twitter(processcom.twitter. android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. this message pertains to goggle services as well. What is wrong and why did this happen and how do I correct it.. I have a HTC EVO 4G phone. can anyone help me?
Are you getting a force close error? If so you more than likely will need to do a hard reset.
To reset the Evo properly:
Larry ~ OKIESTRO
Sprint BUZZ TECH
Oklahoma City
Hours Monday- Friday 6am - 3pm
https://network.sprint.com/ THE SPRINT NETWORK OF THE FUTURE IS UNDER WAY
Old method no longer works after updates Larry??
I tried several times but no menu appear after holding down volume and starting the power. the menu locks comes on then the normal stuff. still no goggle and twitter any other ideas. thanks for the help.+
Remember what the tech is suggesting will reset the phone to factory. All of the apps and data that you have on the phone will be gone. You will have to rebuild it to its present state. If you are synced with Google Calendar and contacts, the info will be retrieved once you set up your accounts on the phone again. Otherwise, better save your contacts to the sd card before reset so they can be retrieved.
If you have pulled your battery and that has not helped and you are prepared to rebuild your phone, ,
settings, sd and phone storage, factory data reset, confirm.
after trying everything when I power down I notice the restart close all apps and restart phone. i did that and my twitter account came back but still having problems with google services. they keep closing the app and I still don't know why. but thanks I will save everything to my sd card . also Can you tell how to free up more internal storage I only have 66 mb left and I used 362 mb. any ideas.. thanks
Hello. Depending on how many apps you have, some of them may have a feature labelled "Move to SD." The app itself is not moving but instead, the apps "data." Try moving all that you can by going to Home - Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All (at the top) - tap on any app. Only the ones you've added may (or may not) have this feature as it's up to the developers of the particular app to include or exclude this feature.
The other solution for freeing up internal storage is to remove applications that you no longer use or need. You can do this from the same location as above, just tap "Uninstall" instead.
The original EVO didn't come with very much internal storage for applications so this is somewhat of a common issue for that phone. Also, low memory can cause force close errors based on not enough internal storage available at a given moment to open apps or background processes. You may find that by uninstalling the "offending" app, the problem goes away.
The final option is the factory data reset as described above by DACBETH. I haven't tested the boot loader "manual" hard reset mentioned by OKIESTRO to see if it's not working the way it was designed. The menu hard reset should be the same type of reset as the boot loader reset anyway.
This is exactly the problem that we've been saying for the past 2+ yrs (!) low internal memory yet Sprint has filled it up with Blockbuster, Nascar, Nova and other trash and even tho we can 'disable' we can not remove...
Removing those apps would not free any memory for you because they are in a partition that you can't access. Yes Sprint could have made that partition smaller and given us more memory, but HTC could have provided more memory in the first place, then we could have all been happy.
As tomdeaver indicated above, a factory reset will usually free up a lot of memory even after reloading your apps. I do not update any of my apps. I have found that by uninstalling apps that have updates and then fresh install that app has left more free memory than was available before this process. So I do not update, I uninstall an app that has notification of an update, clear cache, reinstall the new version of the app and then do a restart and/or pull the battery.
Great suggestion DACBETH on updating, thank you! I have all the space I need plus more on my phone its just that we have no control about all the worthless !#@%* that Sprint forces us to have.

Does anybody ever feel bad when killing an animal?
When i was younger my cousin had tags to hunt elk and he killed one in a swamp, we were hi fiving and being happy and i sliced a piece of the elks ass cheek and kept the pelt to have memories of it. they gave me one of the back straps and we made stew out of it. i had a great time! Im older now and have 5 precious little dogs and LOVE animals cats, pigs, horses, cows, coyotes, deers, and everything! ive never been hunting on my own and never killed any animals id like to go hunting but i know id feel bad about it because i can just go to the store, but i do enjoy the outdoors and would love some venison steak with potatoes is it wrong to hunt animals if you live in the city and dont NEED to hunt?
I killed a rabit once while i was young,marinated it and cooked it over a camp fire and it was delicious! im older now and respect animals and love them! ive gone soft when i saw a bunch of baby rabbits and the mama cuddling the babies it was cute So i kinda felt bad. I saw the movie bambi and felt bad about the elk
"is it wrong to hunt animals if you live in the city and dont NEED to hunt?" No its perfectly OK, gotta eat the meat though!
Doesn't worry me in the least but I do detest cruelty to animals.
I don't hunt, (not into blood & guts), but if you want to, go ahead. I think that a VERY small percentage of people who hunt actually NEED the food for survival. The Fish & Game puts limits on how many of what can be taken, ensuring their survival, and from what I understand, it can be healthy for a population to be thinned. (Hmmm, maybe we should be thinned? People cull, anyone?)
Now, the only beef I have with this is if you shot something for fun, and left it there, not cool. Or if you're an idiot, and you injure it, it gets away, and suffers. Not cool.
For me, there are some grey areas. Those wild pigs down south. I hear they shoot tons of them, not sure what they do with them. But I hear they're a menace, too, and there's WAY too many. Coyotes. I hear they get shot on sight. If you're a farmer, and they're killing your animals, ok. Some people will shoot them no matter what. Not cool. We have Coyotes here, and our neighbors have chickens. The Coyotes don't bother them, they're fenced in......
http://youtu.be/JTZPMJj-X9M :'( nobody ever feels bad?
I"d worry more if you didn't feel a twinge of regret when taking a life.
Yes that's why I stopped. If a had to eat yes as I don't I go to the shop.
Feral Swine are crossover varmints, they are pig afterall, dont leave them to rot, eat them, yum!
What is there to feel bad about? Taking game from the wild instead of factory slaughterhouse is more humane, a TON more friendly to the environment and also a great form of recreation/bonding time.
As was said, be proficient with your firearms, know the limitations and be as humane as possible. And don't waste!
