Can I call a red shirt or can I call a red shirt?
I don't quite get the governor's "We gotta go out and kill every outside settlement" position. Seems like a waste of resources and an expensive sacrifice of soldiers. I can see attacking the Army group for equipment, but invading the prison to give it back to the walkers? Makes very little sense.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione today issued a warning on the potential for 3D printed guns to be used in serious crimes in the state.
The NSW Police revealed that the force has created and tested two 3D-printed firearms. The police used the Liberator pistol blueprints produced by US-firm Defense Distributed. The original plans for the gun were downloaded more than 100,000 times before the company pulled them from its site under pressure from the US State Department.
Police believe that despite this, the files are still circulating.
The commissioner said that a Liberator pistol had experienced a catastrophic misfire during testing. The failure would have been capable of seriously injuring the person using the firearm, the police chief said.
One of the motivations for holding today's press conference was to warn of danger to the user if someone attempts to print, assemble and fire a Liberator out of curiosity.
As with other firearms, possession of a Liberator is prohibited unless the owner has an appropriate licence. It's an "offence to make one, possess one, use one," Scipione said.
"Not only are they illegal, they are enormously dangerous," Scipione said.
When the pistol successfully fired, it propelled a bullet with sufficient force to kill a target, the police revealed. When tested using a block of so-called ballistic soap – a block of gelatine used for firearms testing – the shot penetrated 17cm, which could be a fatal wound, the police said.

"This is now becoming a problem the world over," Scipione said.
The police spent $35 on materials to create a Liberator and used a $1700 desktop 3D printer. The only metal parts used in the pistol's construction where the firing pin, created with a nail, and a .380 ACP calibre pistol cartridge. The all-plastic body means that the pistol is hard for security forces to detect.
Inspector Wayne Hoffman said the creation of a pistol took the police around 27 hours. Assembling the pistol's 17 parts took around a minute. Hoffman said that the police had exactly followed the original instructions for creating the Liberator, with a number of modified versions of the file currently in circulation.
"We think it's only a matter of time before we see one of these weapons used in a serious crime in NSW," Scipione said. The commissioner said that it is "incredibly difficult" to stop distribution of the files, drawing an analogy with the illegal downloading of software, movies and music.
The Liberator is "truly undetectable, untraceable, cheap and easy to make".

The government will have to consider whether regulating CAD files used to create 3D-printed firearms needs to be regulated, the commissioner said, but added he is "not sure that we're well placed globally to deal with he transfer and downloading of thee files" and that he doubts that regulations would be able to stop the files being shared and downloaded.
File sharing service Mega last week removed plans for the one-bullet plastic gun because of confusion over the legality of distributing the blueprints.

Why Should You Go? Well I decided to hold the real review of the burger for this area because it's the main reason I went. It is a pretty damn good burger - definitely tasted like someone made the patty (i.e. not frozen). Although it wasn't a very large patty in itself - the really great toppings made it very very filling. I love the uniqueness of the toppings and the pre-defined combinations they have put together. If I want to eat a hamburger and really taste the cow - then I go to Terry's. But more often than not - I'd rather go some place like Flipdaddy's where the toppings are unique and fun and it's a bit more convenient to get in and out any old time I'm hungry.
All in all - we both really liked Flipdaddy's and it really was for the toppings. I can get a simple burger I love just down the street at Quatman's but when you want something a little more complicated - this is a great spot!
Also - the service was really good for as busy as they were. They were a bit stunned this day by the amount of traffic for a Sunday morning and a few folks were bitchy with them. I thought the team took it in stride and did a great job. It was a little slow - but completely understandable.

Our Story of Hope.
Our marriage was dead. Tim's internet pornography addiction led to an affair. I forgave him. But then when I found out he had been going to prostitutes for over a year, I'd had enough. After being married nearly eight years, we filed for divorce.
What seemed like the end of our marriage, God used to bring us both into a real relationship with Jesus. He also redeemed our marriage. It is our desire that if you are struggling in your marriage, you will find hope in our story and what God did in our lives. Feel free to watch our testimony on the 700 Club or listen testimonies and radio interviews. I have also written a book from my perspective, sharing more details of how God changed me, my husband and our marriage. You can request a free copy by emailing me. There truly is hope and healing when you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and allow Him to redeem your marriage!
God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people He can be proud of, energetic in goodness.
- Titus 2:11-14 The Message

Men are often completely clueless when it comes to shopping for women. Unfortunately, the same when they buy clothes. In fact, it is likely to find too embarrassed to walk into a store and review their sub-section. They are not afraid, because there are many online shops! You can keep the problem and instead of finding a site for sale in just a few clicks of the mouse. The use of the Internet, it is much easier to surprise your underwear because you can easily navigate through pages and pages of drawings and find your desired product. Most sites even offer a gift, so that will be sent immediately to your no doubt. shopping online can help put the "surprise" in the "surprise gift!
If you are fretting about the size, most online stores also offer advice to men on the steps you need to confirm. If you are unsure, then there is nothing wrong to call his wife or girlfriend what their size. This will not spoil the surprise in any way, because it assumes that you are buying lingerie.

Inspired by Marc's post, I would like to reprint a State of the Union address—really an inauguration speech—that Frédéric Bastiat offers in his 1850 Economic Harmonies:
"You have invested me with the power of authority. I shall use it only in cases where the intervention of force is permissible. But there is only one such case, and that is for the cause of justice. I shall require every man to remain within the limits set by his rights. Every one of you may work in freedom by day and sleep in peace at night. I take upon myself the safety of your persons and property. That is my mandate; I shall fulfill it; but I accept no other. Let there be no misunderstanding between us. Henceforth you will pay only the slight assessment indispensable for the maintenance of order and the enforcement of justice. But also, please note, each one of you is responsible to himself for his own subsistence and advancement. Turn your eyes toward me no longer. Do not ask me to give you wealth, work, credit, education, religion, morality. Do not forget that the motive power by which you advance is within yourselves; that I myself can act only through the instrumentality of force. All that I have, absolutely all, comes from you; consequently, I cannot grant the slightest advantage to one except at the expense of others. Cultivate your fields, then, manufacture and export your products, conduct your business affairs, make your credit arrangements, give and receive your services freely, educate your children, find them a calling, cultivate the arts, improve your minds, refine your sentiments, strengthen your bonds with one another, establish industrial or charitable associations, unite your efforts for your individual good as well as for the general good; follow your inclinations, fulfill your individual destinies according to your endowments, your values, your foresight. Expect from me only two things: freedom and security, and know that you cannot ask for a third without losing these two."
[H/T Nikolai Wenzel.]

We are a non-profit environmental organization that does our best to help maintain biodiversity. We do this through educating people about the importance of biodiversity and working with existing charities. The goal of tinygoat is to prevent the extinction of any species, including plants and animals. So much of our world comes from utilizing and copying nature and we would be fools to not protect this. For all we know, we may be wiping out a species that holds the cure for cancer. There's still so much we are learning about science and making a potentially useful species extinct is the last thing that we should be doing. It's obviously something we're very passionate about!
I would like the logo to appeal to everyone. The plan is to make this internationally recognizable like the WWF logo is. However, my obvious market are people and companies that care about the environment. I wouldn't want a logo that is offensive to any culture either, but I don't think that will be an issue in this case.
I had a dream of this logo a few years ago and I want you to make it a reality. In the dream, the name "tinygoat" was in the shape of a goats head. Just look carefully at the word. The "yg" make the long part of a goats face and the "t"s on each end make the horns. Please see attached file for a badly drawn skech of this. I don't know how my brain thought of that, but I think it's pretty cool!
Unfortunately, I don't have a graphical bone in my body, so that's why I'm relying on you to create this image that I've been dreaming of to put on the new website we're making.
I'm really am very open-minded about the design, but I will try to give you some rough guidance. I think I would like it to be clean and modern (I think that's called the Web 2.0 look?). I'm thinking more of something that looks more like a tribal tattoo and less like an actual picture of a goats head. For colors, something that's easy on the eye. I like pastels. Since we are a "green" company then maybe a pastel green (or any natural colors) makes sense. Again though, let your creative juices flow. Please post your ideas even if they don't fit what I'm describing! There's a good chance that you have a better idea anyway as you're the artist, not me. The only definite that I want is the word tinygoat in a logo that is shaped like a goats head. I'm very good at providing feedback and guidance once I see your designs.
Thank you!

Isaiah, in our first reading today, has incredible images. We have to
think of Jerusalem and then think of the mountain of the Lord. Mount
Zion�it is really just a hill in Jerusalem�is the center of the earth
because it is where God dwells. God is calling all men and women, all
nations and peoples, to come and follow His way of life: living in the
divine love and rejoicing in the gifts of God. The greatest gift of all is
the gift of Jesus as our Savior. This Advent is the time to prepare once
more to celebration Jesus in the flesh.
In order to understand this enormous mystery, we have to understand a bit
of its history, starting with creation and the formation of the Jewish
people, the chosen people, who are the delight of God. We can take some
time in Advent to think about the incredible history of salvation, all
pointing to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The images of Isaiah all
invite us to walk in the light of the Lord.
That light is to be found in the Scriptures, in creation itself, in the
Church (even with all of its sinfulness) and in one another. Only if we
have eyes of faith will we begin to see the light of the Lord.
The Letter to the Romans also speaks about living in the light and throwing
off all that leaves us in darkness. Easier said than done, but it is the
work of our whole life. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision
for the desires of the flesh. As we walk through this Advent, striving to
live in light, we can keep our hearts and our minds fixed on the love that
God has for us. This is the only way to make no provision for the desires
of the flesh. Dwell in His love. Be aware of His love. Delight in His
The Gospel tells us to be ready. God can come to us at any times. For you
do not know on which day your Lord will come. This is not meant to
frighten us in any bad way, but to help us remain alert and waiting for the
Lord at every moment. What a different life we have when we are looking
for the Lord in everything that happens to us and in all that we do! Let
us walk in the light of the Lord! What joy we can have and what rejoicing
with one another in the Lord.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Four students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have won highly competitive, national Goldwater Scholarships for their excellence in science. Because UNL is limited to four nominees in the competition, four winners is the maximum attainable -- and a record number of scholarships for UNL in this annual competition.
Winners are: Rachel Coburn of Papillion, Elizabeth Spring Jaensch of Naperville, Ill., Jared Paul Ostdiek of Columbus and Joseph Phillips of Omaha. All are majoring in the biological sciences.
The scholarships are awarded annually to future scientists, mathematicians and engineers. About 300 college sophomores and juniors receive the scholarship nationwide. The awards are for up to $7,500 per year for educational expenses. UNL was one of only four universities in the country to have received four Goldwater scholarships.
Coburn, a sophomore biochemistry major, was ecstatic when she was notified that she'd won the scholarship. "I feel honored and proud to be one of four scholars representing the University of Nebraska-Lincoln," she said. Coburn said she plans to pursue a doctorate in biological sciences focusing on evolutionary genetics, hoping to become a researcher like her mentor, Stacey Smith, assistant professor of biological sciences at UNL. Coburn and Smith are conducting research on the biochemical flavonoid pathways of a South American shrub.
Jaensch, also a biochemistry major, said winning a Goldwater Scholarship will be boost to help her get into a top graduate school. She is a member of the University Honors Program and had a UCARE (Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences) fellowship conducting undergraduate research alongside biological sciences professor Zoya Avramova. Jaensch received a 2011 DAAD RISE (German Academic Exchange Service Research Internships In Science and Engineering) scholarship to conduct research in Germany last summer.
"The scholarship is a formal recognition of the hard work I've put into my undergraduate work," Jaensch said. "Being a Goldwater scholar demonstrates to graduate schools that I will be, and already am, a dedicated student and researcher." She received notification of the scholarship during a 10-minute break between two tests and managed to tell everyone she knew before her second test, including her parents.
"I didn't stop smiling the whole day," she said.
Ostdiek, a junior biological systems engineering major, said having four Goldwater scholars speaks highly of the opportunities available at UNL. Like Jaensch, Ostdiek hopes receiving a Goldwater will provide him with more opportunities in the future. He is currently working to design a device for minimally invasive surgery. He is a University Honors Program student and has had a UCARE fellowship with associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering Carl Nelson. Ostdiek said his goal is to work in the research and development department of a medical device design company.
Phillips will attend graduate school after receiving his degree in biological sciences. He will study toward a doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology, leading him to a career in research. He said he is interested in research in ecology and evolutionary biology combining theoretical, computational, and empirical approaches. Phillips has had a UCARE fellowship working with assistant professor in biological sciences Chad Brassil, and also was in the University Honors Program.
"I actually learned about winning just before the start of one of our weekly lab meetings," Phillips said. "I had a chance to immediately tell my other lab members, but I decided to wait until the end of the meeting before I told Dr. Brassil. It was very exciting to finally tell him that all of that hard work paid off."
Laura Damuth, UNL's director of fellowships, said: "UNL has always been very strong in the Goldwater competition, but this is the first year that UNL has garnered awards for all of our applicants. We are in the unique position of being one of the four schools in the nation to have the maximum number of winners."
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by Congress in 1986 to honor Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years of service in the U.S. Senate. The Goldwater Foundation seeks students in mathematics or the sciences who display intellectual curiosity and intensity and possess potential for significant future contributions in their chosen field.

On March 11th, Hindus all over the globe celebrated the holy day of Holi with vibrant and colorful festivities. Known as the festival of colors, Holi symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and welcomes the coming of Spring. It begins on the eve of the full moon day in the month of Phalguna (in March or April) with a ritualistic bonfire, and culminates with a celebration of color by showering each other with colorful paint, powder, and water.
The mythology of Holi is as vibrant and diverse as the colors of the festival. Some legends celebrate Holi in honor of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha and their mischievous and youthful coloring of each others' faces. Most traditions celebrate the triumph of Prahlad, the son of King Hiranyakashyap, over the treachery of the King's sister Holika who tried to lure Prahlad, a devotee of Lord Naryana, into the fire. This victory symbolizes good over evil and the recognition of a true devotee. The Holi festival is named after the deceitful Holika and effigies of her are burned on the eve of Holi to mark the start of the divine celebration. Other legends of Shiva and Krishna are also associated with Holi.

The beauty and joy of this festival is incredible. Family, friends and even strangers willingly submit to being showered in dyed water and covered in colorful powder. The thousands of bodies on the streets of India become works of art in an effort to physically reflect the beauty of nature. School children, businessmen, and grandmothers are alive with vibrant colors and joyful enthusiasm. Participants surrender modesty and decorum for the Holi festival, and unabashedly celebrate the coming of spring, which symbolically represents the healing of social rifts, the "sweetness" of relationships and the brilliance of nature.
With smiles on their faces, hundreds of Holi celebrators eagerly submit to being covered in color. And as the Hindu community expands beyond India borders, its colors are spreading all over the globe, as is its inspiration. Nine thousand gathered in Houston, and over 200 in New York to celebrate and participate in the vibrant hues of Holi. As you look at the photos of these world wide celebrations, it's hard not to be taken by the sheer vibrancy of it all. Grown men and women acting youthful and merry without cynicism or self-consciousness, clothes covered in colorful dye, faces stained and beautiful. All without worry or trepidation. Kind of makes you wonder about the last time you celebrated with total abandon? Maybe Holi can be an inspiration for us all.

Though it's tough to take director Robert Rodriguez at his word given how many times we've been promised that Sin City 2 is "right around the corner" over the past few years, he's finally making good on two follow-ups this summer: Machete Kills and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. With production looming closer on both films, the first promo posters have now gone online. Rodriguez will first shoot the Machete sequel Machete Kills this month, which finds Danny Trejo returning as the murderous Mexican. Other returning actors include Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, who will be joined by newcomers Mel Gibson, Demian Bichir, Amber Heard, and recent addition Sofia Vergara. Then, Rodriguez will finally shoot the Sin City follow-up, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Hit the jump for more.
While the posters don't necessarily reflect what the final product will look like, it's nice to get a tease of what's to come. Notably, the poster for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For confirms that Frank Miller will be returning as co-director alongside Rodriguez. Mickey Rourke and Rosario Dawson are both confirmed to be reprising their roles, and we'll surely be hearing more casting announcements over the next few weeks. Story details are under wraps, but Rodriguez previously revealed that the film would involve three separate stories from Miller: A Dame to Kill For and two new ones that have yet to be announced.
Here are the promo posters, courtesy of c7nema and NicoFilmosphere (via The Playlist):

Global Bond Rates May Make it Hard for the Fed to Affect US Long-Term Rates
The Fed has been in unchartered territory with its post-2008 actions, and unwinding them may take a bit of creativity. One of their obstacles might be the rates of long term government bonds around the world. The chart below shows the yield of 10-year bonds earlier this week. The rate on US 10-year bonds is more than 4x Japan's and more than 2x Germany's. In an odd situation, US bonds are actually paying less than those of Spain. Global investors looking for yield (pension funds, governments, mutual funds, and others) may thwart Fed actions by finding US funds to be compelling deals on a relative basis. The Fed can usually affect only short term rates, which was one of the reasons they became aggressive in buying long term debt in their Quantitative Easing (QE) actions. Getting yields down for all durations is what made their actions were essentially unprecedented for the US. If they attempt to sell their holdings quickly to raise rates, there might be more buyers than they anticipate, making the action fruitless. It still looks like once the QE buying is done in the next few weeks the Fed will simply let their most of their holdings mature rather than force-feed them to the market. Listen for the word "macroprudential" in the next months. That's how Fed officials are describing the gentle prodding they may have to take to reverse their course. It turns out that some of the Fed members are worried their actions may encounter resistance, so they will resort to some arm-twisting to push banks to act in the manner they want. That hasn't worked well in the past, and it probably won't work well now, but it does add a word to our vocabulary.

Why Printers are Vulnerable to Brokers, Distributors, and Print Management Companies
Customers expect more from their vendor partners than simply delivering the product on time and at a fair price. As the print industry continues to contract, differentiation is required to remain competitive. Printers are at risk from print-manufacturing independent service providers because customers are looking to reduce the number of vendors and engage with vendor partners who make doing business with them very easy.
Make Data-Driven Business Decisions with Your Print MIS
Your business generates a lot of data; your Print MIS should be the system of record for that data. The data should drive your business decisions based on meaningful metrics/key performance indicators (KPIs). Making data a part of your culture will make you a better leader and help your staff understand how their daily actions impact the business.
Initial Jobless Claims as a Percentage of the Workforce
As the number of employed workers has been slowly increasing, and the total workforce has been growing, initial claims for unemployment have been decreasing. The historical perspective is very interesting. This past recession, as bad as it was, did not come close to the levels of the 1970s and 1980s recessions (about 0.6% of the workforce). This most recent recovery is already at the best levels of prior expansions. It doesn't feel "that good"; what's different? The workforce has not kept up with population growth, and about 2 million workers have permanently left the workforce. Also, companies have been cautious in their hiring, meaning, that there are fewer workers to dismiss when businesses of the past needed to. One could look at the chart and say that when this ratio reaches this current level (0.2%) a recession has always followed. Probably not in this case: this ratio may go to unprecedented lower levels because of the workforce exodus and the slow pace of hiring that has made this recovery so different than previous ones. Economist Mark Perry at the American Enterprise Institute discussed the steady rise in job openings at his blog. They are at a 13-year high (not adjusted for population growth), and still less than January 2000 by 800,000.
