Jamestown, RI: Great Tacos and Shrimp Cocktail with a View at Tallulah's Tacos
A weekly profile on a favorite New England dish.
Last weekend, I found paradise at a boat yard in Jamestown, Rhode Island. At Dutch Harbor, a strip of parking lot that extends to the water on the western face of this island, the folks behind Newport's well-heeled Tallulah on Thames restaurant are slinging tacos and other traditional Mexican street eats—the stuff that chef Jake Rojas grew up eating.
Rojas and his crew have been serving tacos for lunch a few days a week at the restaurant and from carts parked at several local farmer's markets, but they took over the Dutch Harbor shack just a few weeks ago. No surprise, they're doing brisk business. The combination of high-quality, locally sourced proteins, fresh corn tortillas, and flawless execution is hard to beat. So is the view—a stunning panorama of the Rhode Island landscape. Both make up for the relatively high food prices ($3.75 to $6.50 per taco, depending on the protein).
Pork, in the form of wispy carnitas, might be my top filling choice, with the super fresh sautéed shrimp a close second. Get the lobster if you wanna splurge; it's as indulgent to eat as it is to pay for. The fixin's—guac, onion, cilantro, salsa, and pickled thin-sliced radish—are spot on.
But the surprise find is the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail ($10). I didn't order this at first; shrimp cocktail never seems worth the money or my appetite. But Rojas' description of the dish reeled me in: a glass of fresh shrimp with tomato broth, avocado, tomato, salsa, onion, cilantro, and a couple crispy tostadas. When it arrived, it looked—and ate—more like a hearty shrimp gazpacho, the shellfish and other elements floating in the bright, well seasoned tomato liquid. It was refreshing and full flavored, and every element—from the plump, perfectly cooked shrimp to the firm but creamy avocados—was at its best.
Just in case you're not convinced yet, there's homemade lemonade and agua frescas to drink ($3), as well as horchata panna cotta ($4) and a small selection Susanna's Ice Cream for dessert ($4). Go now and go often—with a book and a beach towel, it's a perfect place to spend an afternoon*—before the shack season ends in mid October.
*They actually open for breakfast, too, and rumor has it the breakfast tacos are worth getting up for.

Diablo 3 fans flooded onto the servers as Monday turned into Tuesday, but some found themselves booted from the game thanks to a Templar follower. Interacting with the character causes the game to throw up an error, locking some players out of their Battle.net accounts completely, Eurogamer reports.
Players on the Battle.net forums are reporting that when they equip the Templar with a shield, the game de-syncs from the server and eventually kicks them back out to the character screen. Once there, all buttons are grayed out, and when players try to reenter the game after quitting and relaunching or restarting their computers, the game gives an "Error 3006" message. According to a blue post on the Battle.net forums from a QA employee, the issue may be isolated to Demon Hunter characters.
Blizzard has acknowledged the issue as a bug and says a hotfix is on the way out. Until then, players should avoid giving a shield to their Templar before killing Jondar (wait to hire the Templar before giving him anything). Apparently, employing the Templar will keep him just happy enough to let you continue playing your treasured new game.

The Tin Roof Blowdown: A Dave Robicheaux Novel
In Burke's meticulously textured 16th Dave Robicheaux novel (after 2006's Pegasus Descending ), Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath provide the backdrop for an account of sin and redemption in New Orleans. When Detective Robicheaux's department is assigned to investigate the shooting of two looters in a wealthy neighborhood, he learns that they had ransacked the home of New Orleans's most powerful mobster. Now he must locate the surviving looter before others do, and in the process he learns the fate of a priest who disappeared in the ill-fated Ninth Ward trying to rescue his trapped parishioners. Burke creates dense, rich prose that draws the reader into a web of greed and violence. Each of his characters feels the hands of both grace and of perdition, and the final outcome of their struggle is never quite certain. Burke showcases all that was both right and wrong in our response to this national disaster, proving along the way that nobody captures the spirit of Gulf Coast Louisiana better. (July)

Good one, Bill! Thanks!
Adding Acetone in gasoline
To all you doubting Thomases, I refer you to the following link: http://www.lubedev.com/smartgas/additive.htm
This guy must be a scientist, and he has been doing this since just after WWII, which makes me wonder if he learned about it in the service and perhaps this has been covered up.
I have a 2000 Insight. I have been adding 3-5 oz. of acetone to each 10 gallons of gasoline. I have done it about 80% of the time I fill up for the past 14 months. No question about it, I have gotten a dramtic improvement on my gas mileage, on gas that is 91-93 octane-rated, with the 10% ethanol mix part of the year.
The 10% ethanol makes my car buck and knock. It hates it. With acetone, the bucking and knocking go away. This is saving my engine, my exhaust, my lifters, my cam shaft, etc. And according to this guy, who presents exhaustive data (lol), it is good for the environment. The only bad thing about acetone is that the oil and gas guys won't like it if it catches on (which makes me wonder if some of the naysayers here are reps for the oil/gasoline industries - don't laugh, this tactic is used at political sites and letters to the editor sites all the time). In every other consideration, it is good. Good for your engine. Good for you exhaust. Good for your mileage. Good for the environment. Good for my budget.
Don't be surpised if your cars bucks violently the first few days. This was the acetone cleaning out my system. After that, smooth sailing. I have gotten as high as 80 mpg on the highway. I have averaged, with the help of cautious driving, 73 mpg over a weeks-long period. Overall, my mpg improves by about 20%!!!!! I cannot wait to drive from Illinois to California in September to see what I can average on a long trip.
A tip: Acetone is difficult to pour. I use a stainless steel turkey baster with an injector tip to move the acetone from the can to my tank without spilling. Afterward, I rinse the baster and the pure rubber bulb immediately and let them dry. Acetone evaporates quickly. I do wonder if over time the acetone will break down the rubber bulb on the baster, but so far, so good.
By the way, that link has other great ideas about motor oil, plugs and filters. The guy is a fanatic who has spent decades researching this stuff. Check it out and benefit.
Adding Acetone in gasoline
"which makes me wonder if some of the naysayers here are reps for the oil/gasoline industries "
I'm a real estate appraiser. I graduated from Kettering U, and saw the article in their alumni mag. Neither I nor they have any interest in selling oil.
By the way, Mr. "acetone evaporates quickly," that is absolutely true, and constitutes a nice little shot of unburned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. There's a reason why the EPA made auto manufacturers stop using volatile solvents in auto painting over 30 years ago.
Adding Acetone in gasoline
acetone works great, ive been using it for 5 months with great results, my norm mpg is 26-28 and with about 2oz per 10 gallons my mpg is 32-35, runs smoother and quieter. but the ethanol makes my car run crappy
Adding Acetone in gasoline
Hey Bill if you don't like the acetone idea then don't use it. Adding hydrocarbons to the atmosphere is the least of my concerns. I work in an idustrial plant and you should see what goes into the air from here. Acetone " GOOD", big business oil companies "BAD". For the rest of the doubting thomas's keep spending your money on gas, I'd rather put mine in my pocket.
Adding Acetone in gasoline
what am i doing wrong ?added 4 oz to 18 gallons no ipmrovment at all for 1st 50 miles
Adding Acetone in gasoline
I read an article about the use of acetone and the explanation of its effects on hydrocarbon blends used for automobiles and some made sense.
Personally I'm a professional degree qualified Mechanical Engineer (in practice for the past 12 years) and have been rebuilding engines and cars as a hobby for approximately 25 years, so originally I was prepared to take the risk of using acetone as I could easily replace any defective part that may have faied due to its use.
Tried acetone for eight months and on going, adding 60 ml to 40 L of unleaded petrol to 1998 Toyota Corolla 1.6L injected, to my surprise acetone does work. Use to average on straight petrol city cycle 450Km, now averaging 495Km, highway cycle surprise 553Km on 40L of fuel. And by the way no ill effects on the car and the driving style is "keep up with traffic and don't be left behind".
Gone back to straight petrol for a tank load and actually done 435Km out of tank, was shocked, since I fill up at the same servo every week.
If anyone wants to try acetone ensure that you don't use ethanol blend, you'll actually loose potential fuel economy, tried it on 5% blend, only achived 458Km. You'll also start to see fuel economy increases only after roughly the third tank, once most of the less volatile compounds and water on the bottom of the tank have been exposed to acetone.
If you think the potential fuel economy is worth the risk of exposing fuel system parts and 40000ml of unleaded petrol to 60 ml of acetone than do it, if something does fail due to acetone usage see what you can do to stop it front from happening again. Also don't forget all mechanical devices have a finite life span and will eventually fail, so don't balme acetone if your fuel pump is 20 years old.
Do not listen to pompous stooges, make your own experiments, thinkkkkkkkk, otherwise be a Lemming and cope it sweet on chin.
Aaaaaa, yeah to all who may ask the question the daily is the Corolla the weekender is a Charger, and no it is not designed for fuel economy and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Good Luck
Adding Acetone in gasoline
It also appears that some people have trouble adding acetone to their tank, use a graduated (and oh my god) standard 60 ml plastic syringe, you will not get any spillage even my wife can use it. Yes you can even take it to servo in freezer bag and it won't spill.
And surprise the syringe is not disolved by the acetone. Acetone will only disolve certain rubbers and plastics.
Good Luck

This is why
The reason that acetone is not already in fuel mixtures is simply because the goverment will not allow it. The goverment puts up a show to suggest that they do give a cats hiney about the oil crisis, but in all reallity, they don't. Why should they if Bush is sucking up millions of dollars from the oil companys?

Study of a horse; drawing by Leonardo. Art print with frame.
Product information:
Collotype is a photomechanical printing process that can reproduce color images without the use of any form of mechanical screening typical of industrial printing. A glass plate (the matrix) is covered by a film of a special gelatin. After being baked for several hours in a special oven, the plate is ready to be exposed by placing the negative of the picture to be reproduced on top of it. The plate is then hand inked and placed in the machine for contact printing on paper. Every print is the fruit of various passages of color regulated by the skill of the printer. Technically only a limited edition of between 300 and 500 copies per plate can be printed. After this the gelatin film deteriorates and high quality prints can no longer be obtained. Every single collotype, with an impressed mark and number, is therefore a unique one of a kind example in quality and elegance. These collotypes are already framed with a beautiful wood frame customized by Alinari.

How One Actor Used an iPhone to Land a Role in the 'Star Trek' Sequel [VIDEO]
Now here's something straight out of the future: A British actor used his iPhone to land a role in the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel to Star Trek.
Benedict Cumberbatch is a 35-year-old actor who has appeared in a number of films including War Horse, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Atonement .
Cumberbatch got word last December that Abrams wanted him to audition via videotape for a role in the much-anticipated Star Trek sequel, The New York Times reports. Only problem? Cumberbatch was vacationing in England at the time, and couldn't locate anyone to properly film his tryout.
So, the story goes, an "agitated and weary" Cumberbatch simply recorded his audition using an iPhone.
"I was pretty strung out," Cumberbatch tells the Times, "so that went into the performance."
Cumberbatch sent the clip to Abrams, only to be hit with a cruel bit of irony — Abrams, too, was on vacation and couldn't immediately check out the recording. But he eventually got a look at it and told the Times that Cumberbatch's iPhone-recorded performance was "one of the most compelling audition readings I'd ever seen."
Cumberbatch got the part, although his role has not yet been officially announced. The film blogosphere, however, appears fairly certain Cumberbatch will play the villain Khan.
Numerous stars including Justin Bieber have gone from unknown to discovered via YouTube and other tech platforms, but an established actor using a consumer gadget to land a major role appears to be a first.
Could well-known actors using iPhones to land major roles become a trend in the future? Let us know in the comments.

Nokia CorporationStock Exchange ReleaseFebruary 14, 2014 at 21.20 (CET +1)
Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today that Nokia's Board of Directors has approved the Nokia Equity Program 2014. The Nokia Equity Program 2014 includes the following equity instruments: - An Employee Share Purchase Plan for Nokia employees in selected jurisdictions, entitling the eligible employees to contribute a part of their salary to purchase Nokia shares. After a designated holding period, Nokia will offer the employees one matching share for each two purchased shares;
- Performance Shares, with the final number of shares dependent on the achievement of pre-determined financial performance criteria; and
- Restricted Shares are awarded on an exceptional basis only for recruitment and retention purposes and are dependent on continued employment during a three-year restriction period.
For 2014, the intention has been to simplify the equity programs on offer, removing stock options completely from the program and limiting the restricted share plan for use in extraordinary retention and recruitment cases only. Also the number of restricted shares to be granted has been reduced significantly. The Board of Directors, in setting up the Equity Program 2014, has taken into consideration the expected changes in the company structure due to the planned sale of substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services business to Microsoft.
The purpose of the Nokia Equity Program 2014
The Nokia Equity Program 2014 is designed to support the participants' focus and alignment with Nokia's long term success. Also employees of NSN are included in the Performance Share Plan and in the Restricted Share Plan.
Nokia's use of the performance-based plan as the main long-term incentive vehicle is planned to effectively contribute to the long-term value creation and sustainability of Nokia and to align the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders. It is also designed to ensure that the overall equity-based compensation is driven by performance.
Shares under the Restricted Share Plan will be granted on a more limited basis than in previous years. Restricted Shares are granted only for exceptional retention and recruitment purposes aimed to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent vital to the future success of the Company.
Stock option grants will not feature as part of the Equity Program 2014. Greater emphasis will be placed on the Performance Share Plan in 2014, further promoting Nokia's stance on pay for performance
The Employee Share Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Share Purchase Plan, eligible Nokia employees (excluding NSN employees for the 2014 plan cycle) can elect to make monthly contributions from their salary to purchase Nokia shares. The participation in the plan is voluntary.
The annual limit which the participant can contribute to the plan will be between a minimum of EUR 60 and a maximum of the lower of (1) EUR 1 200 and (2) 10% of a participant's annual gross base salary. Generally, the share purchases will be made at market value on pre-determined dates on a monthly basis during a 12-month period. Nokia will offer one matching share for every two purchased shares the participant still holds after the last monthly purchase has been made in June 2015. The estimated total maximum amount of employee contributions during the plan cycle commencing in 2014 would equal approximately 840 000 Nokia shares using closing share price EUR 5.28 on February 13, 2014. Based on the matching ratio of one matching share for every two purchased shares, the number of matching shares would be approximately 420 000.
The Employee Share Purchase Plan is planned to be offered to Nokia employees in up to 27 countries for the plan cycle commencing in 2014. The first savings period is intended to start in June 2014 and the first monthly purchases are planned to be made in July 2014.
Performance Shares
Under the 2014 Performance Share Plan, target pay-out will depend on whether independent performance criteria have been met by the end of the performance period. The performance criteria are different for different employee groups as follows:
For the Nokia and NSN employees (excluding HERE employees), the performance criteria are Nokia continuing operations Average Annual Net Sales and Nokia continuing operations Average Annual EPS.
For HERE employees, the performance criteria are Nokia continuing operations Average Annual EPS, HERE Average Annual Net Sales and HERE Average Annual Operating Profit.
The plan has a two-year performance period (2014-2015) and a subsequent one-year restriction period. The number of performance shares to be settled after the restriction period will start at 25% of the grant amount and any pay-out beyond this will be determined with reference to the financial performance during the two-year performance period. The grant under Performance Share Plan 2014 could result in an aggregate maximum payout of 29.7 million Nokia shares in the event that maximum performance against all the performance criteria is achieved.
Restricted Shares
The Restricted Share Plan 2014 has a three-year restriction period. The grant of Restricted Shares in 2014 could result in an aggregate maximum payout of 2 million Nokia shares.
Employees included in the Equity Program 2014
The primary equity instrument for executive-level employees and directors below executive level are performance shares. Below the executive and director level, performance shares are used on a selective basis to ensure retention and recruitment of functional mastery and other employees deemed critical to Nokia's future success.
Nokia has decided to restrict the use of the Restricted Shares so that shares under the Restricted Share Plan are granted only for exceptional retention and recruitment purposes to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent vital to the future success of the Group and will only be used in limited and exceptional circumstances. This is a change to the earlier practice when restricted shares were included as part of the annual compensation reviews.
Employees in up to 27 countries are planned to be offered the possibility to participate in the Employee Share Purchase Plan for the plan cycle commencing in 2014, provided that there are no local regulatory or administrative restraints for the offer.
Amendment of the 2013 Performance Share Plan
Following Nokia's purchase of the remaining stake in NSN from Siemens which was completed in August 2013, and the intended sale of substantially all of Nokia's D&S business to Microsoft announced on September 3, 2013, the metrics for the 2013 Performance Share Plan are amended to take account of Nokia's new business going forward. The amendment introduces a metric set on the basis of the Average Net Sales Index over the two year performance period in replacement of the metric set on the basis of the Average Annual Net Sales Revenue. In addition, the Average Annual EPS targets are amended.
Dilution effect
As of December 31, 2013, the total maximum dilution effect of Nokia's equity program and option rights currently outstanding, assuming that the performance shares would be delivered at maximum level, is approximately 2.3%. The potential maximum effect of the Nokia Equity Program 2014 would be approximately another 0.9%, meaning a total dilution impact of 3.1%, again assuming the delivery at maximum level for performance shares, and the delivery of matching shares against the estimated maximum amount of contributions to the participants under the Employee Share Purchase Plan. The calculation for the Employee Share Purchase Plan is based on closing share price EUR 5.28 on February 13, 2014.

Change has come to the supercar market, with the Geneva Motor Show ushering in a new era of supercar exotica – the hybrid.
Gone are the days of simply using a massive engine to produce insane power. Instead, the supercars of tomorrow will have an engine on one side and an electrical plug on the other.
Ferrari and McLaren are the first to usher in this new era, with their new LaFerrari and P1 models.
Don't fret though. This move to hybrid technology is a good thing. Not only does it keep the greens happy by making supercars kinder to the environment, but hybrid tech is used to enhance performance, not diminish it.
That means electric motors can offer instant power and work alongside conventional powerplants to perfect the driving experience.
Don't believe us? Check the gallery to see the cars ushering in the new era.

Recipe from Michele Shiamone of Warren, Ohio
1 lb bacon
1 large onion
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

The central belief in Christianity is that Jesus Christ died for the sins of all mankind. Thus the path to Heaven and God is through Christ alone. Given that God sent His only begotten Son to save humanity, the event leading to Christ's crucifixion and death were anticipated. Many Christians still believe that the Jews killed Christ, using Romans (or others) to do the deed. If the Jews were indeed responsible for killing Christ (I understand that this is NOT true), were they not doing God's bidding? After all, was not Christ's human sacrifice to save humanity from our sins? Why is that even after 2000 years, there is still simmering and often overt anti-semitism? And why is it that the children of Abraham - Jews, Christians and Muslims forget their common ancestry? [[User:Seekcommon]

Republished from The Classical. Art by Dmitry Samarov.
When I was a kid, I played games of baseball with my action figures, reenacting old World Series that I'd seen on ESPN's overnight filler programming. Eventually I started to make up my own baseball teams and dramatic game situations, because I was and am a big dork. Roadblock was always the cleanup hitter because he looked like Joe Carter in my tiny, mutant mind. I spent most of one summer righting the Pythagorean wrong of the 1954 World Series with tiny plastic army guys.
The only reasons I ever stopped playing imaginary games of baseball with 3-3/4" action figures are 1) I had to attend school so as to eventually secure gainful employment 2) risk of pariah-ization. Shame is a powerful motivator. I have mostly come to terms with the cold reality that never again will I spend most of my days blissfully alone, laying on my stomach, working out improvisational baseball improv theater on the backyard grass or the den carpet (deemed best because it was green-ish).
Sometimes, out of general kid-effusiveness, I would try to explain to a well-meaning adult, or even another youngster, what was going on in my imaginary baseball games, but it usually elicited blank appreciations of my commitment and very little actual interest, or a suggestion that I go run around the neighborhood or something. I was never really hurt by the lack of interest. Because what the hell were they going to do, watch the game? Keep score? I really only told the others about what I was doing so that they understood what a good idea I'd hit upon. Miniature concrete baseball theater was a one-player game, and I was not especially keen on popularizing it.
Because the A's and Mariners took a tramp steamer back from Japan, I had six long, awful days to kill between the Japan series and actual opening day. Work and commuting to work and showering and cooking dinner and talking to the cat helped kill some time, as per usual. But I spent most of my idle minutes across those six days thinking about baseball, specifically fantasy baseball. Sure, I whiled away a minute looking forward to chuckling at Mark Teixeira's weird face and enjoying Jeff Karstens' much more sympathetic weird face, and I burned even more minutes worrying about how exactly the Indians are going to score runs this year. But I spent the majority of my baseball processor time looking at my two fantasy baseball rosters, sliding guys around in my lineups, greedily running my eyes and internet-fingers all over my teams like they were new packs of actual baseball cards, or better yet, GI Joes. If I could commission artisanal action figures of my fantasy baseball team without feeling like I was regressing from complete adulthood, I probably would.
Bear with me through a sharp turn. The above paragraphs are slightly inane, per my usual standards, but you'll have to allow me to tell you the most boring story in the history of the world in order for this piece to creak around to having a point. This most boring of stories is about someone else's fantasy sports team, roughly the same genre of story (individualized fictions about fake sports events) those kindly Ohioans politely nodded at c.1990.

The "someone else" in question here is me (surprise!). So the first time I played fantasy football, in 1994, I had no idea what I was doing. I figured that winning in actual football was directly proportional to winning in fantasy football. So with my first pick, I took Troy Aikman. He was the quarterback of the team that had just won two straight Super Bowls, so he must be good, so went my thinking. Yes, Emmitt Smith scored all the touchdowns on those Cowboys teams, but he was someone's keeper.
But so anyway, I drafted Troy Aikman first overall. Aikman actually wasn't a very good fantasy quarterback, as all of the dudes in the league notified me immediately after I made my selection. Aikman usually went 12 for 20 for 180 yards with one touchdown, which in our scoring system translated to about nine points. One week my team only scored four points, total, all of them coming from Fuad Reveiz. What a disaster! I would like to say that I learned from my mistake but 18 years of health, leisure and perseverance later, I am still pretty bad at fantasy sports.
You're bored, right? I am bored, and it's my story. Jean-Paul Sartre gets the official credit for coining "hell is other people," but I am applying for a patent on the variant "hell is other people's fantasy sports teams.™" Fact claim: It's hard to care about someone else's fantasy team, even if they're in your league. The extent that I care about Dustin Pedroia in fantasy baseball is coequal with the extent that he's on my team. In non-fiction sports, I care about Dustin Pedroia considerably because he is bald and looks like a cartoon badger, but /digression.
It's pretty much impossible to care about someone else's joy at owning Matt Kemp or Arian Foster, in the same way it's impossible to (beyond the dimensions of politeness) really appreciate someone else's vacation photos. At its best, fantasy sports is an act of community, but giving more than zero shits about someone else's team is even harder than caring about the crazy dream someone else had, or your cubicle neighbor's niece's piano recital photos, or someone else's investment strategy.
I still talk about fantasy sports participation in terms and tones reserved for a mildly shameful vice, like it's something that should come in a brown paper wrapper. But fantasy is mainstreamed to the extent that there are both really good novels and hate-filled sitcoms about it, and fantasy in general is a gabillion-dollar annual business. Roto culture has depths that rival or surpass most any obsessive hobby, the general vibe of which is a blend of middle-church American male dorkhood, white-collar bros at leisure, and 4Chan trolls. Roto hasn't yet evolved quants (no one is yet bent enough to apply computational physics to K/9 rates, but clock's ticking), but it has evolved Jim Cramer-style pseudoexperts, who, per laws of nature, are mostly obnoxious.
But my outwardly feigned shame aside, I actually really, unconditionally like fantasy sports—they provide amusement and, in the recent past/larger cosmology, distract me from the fact that the nonfiction teams that I root for are incredibly depressing. Fantasy is increasingly the main arena in which I consume sports, and fantasy is increasingly a socially networked, corporately-sponsored program, just like real sports, on pretty much every level north of the Iditarod Last Great Race on Earth®, brought to you by Wells Fargo. I don't take roto baseball seriously—or rather it doesn't have any serious financial or emotional consequences—but my involvement is real enough that I spend at least an hour every week from mid-March to the end of the MLB season, dicking around managing a fictional team of real dudes in competition with against other fake teams run by a different set of real dudes. Auction day in March is like a family reunion/trip to Vegas/sweat lodge (I have never gone to Vegas or sweat-lodged anything, actually). It's basically a low-wattage holy day for me—it's the closest I get to my dream of spending eternity in the plush Elysian carpet fields, making up baseball games for Lifeline and Dialtone to act out.
So, about that point I was creaking around to: Yes, hell is other people. Yes, fantasy sports are a nerdy corner of that hell. But I'm not trying to turn this into a liver-spotted grumblerant about how reverting to previously popular social norms is the only thing that can save us from a ripening into a society full of Ow My Balls!. It's certainly true that fantasy can delocate traditional fandom—I streamed pitchers against the Indians for parts of last season. As a fan who lives in a city halfway across the country from most other fans of my team, I'm missing out on the community of pro baseball fandom, insofar as such a thing exists. Were it not for a handful of imprinting moments in my childhood (the ones where I actually, y'know, left the house and talked to other people-like countless games at Municipal Stadium, or the time Brett Butler and Mel Hall visited Berea Baseball Association tee-ball practice in 1987), I might be a Yankees or Mets fan (crosses self in gratitude for complex reasons).
Searching for baseline human dignity in the act of fantasy sports is a hard swath to mow, I realize now. Jean-Paul Sartre wasn't wrong about hell being other people, even if in the raspy hindsight of an overstimulated present, that seems 1) an obvious philosophical ground condition 2) an understatement. I have to assume that the only reason ancient Sumerians didn't have "Hell is other people" printed on their money was that they just assumed everybody was thinking it and knowing it and feeling it at all times. Also, I think they used barley for money. But if they had money, and it said "Hell is other people" on one side, then on the other side, it might have said, "Make it work," or "Deal with it" depending on whether they had neohistoric Project Runway to make references to.
Fantasy sports are culture, somehow, just like all the other things that have moved their slow thighs into our viewfinders. The challenge of fantasy sports, and of generalized adult humanity, is to see in other people the same joys you find in your own universe. Can imaginary ownership of Dustin Ackley overcome my anxiety about the consequences of shared human experience? I will try to find out for you, and in doing so prove it to myself.

Compagnie Des Garanties: Mr. Mottola, Where Are You Now That We Need You?
I had all but forgotten about the above Mr. Mottola and then, a couple of weeks ago, I received an email from an off-plan buyer who, back in 2003, thought he had secured an apartment at the development Jardin Tropical, built by Larios 2000, a company that subsequently filed for insolvency (funny enough, in the middle of the property boom!).
Sinister Mr. Mottola is the guy behind Compagnie des Guaranties, a fraudulent insurer operating off a flat at Alberto Aguilera Street, in Madrid, that boasted assets in Spain enough to guarantee hundreds of deposits on off-plan property developments. Several years later we find out that the most substantial assets they could boast was 1 premier-quality-multi-function-digital-colour Photocopier Printer Scanner and Fax.
As it happened, when this buyer tried to enforce his bank guarantee/insurance policy these guys had disappeared, the monies lost and the acting lawyers, let's call them LF (Law Firm), who should have ensured that the guarantee/policy was fully valid end enforceable when the time arrived, began to pull funny faces.
Below is my response email to this enquiry:
Dear XX
I am writing regarding your previous email in respect of a proposal for legal action against LF and Caser Seguros which is, by default, the insurer currently covering all lawyers registered with the Malaga Law Society. As per our conversation, where I indicated the high probability that LF's actions, or omissions in this case, caused you to lose the deposit, it would be, in this respect, possible to bring an action against them.
There is substantial case law in the matter, and, prior to me searching individually for court rulings from our electronic database, I have gone through a short cut and obtained an article written by a colleague pertaining to the matter. Most of these relate to careless or negligent actions when representing a client in Court, and a few others on non-contentious legal representation (non-litigation cases).
The basis of a claim against LF has to be based on the obligation that LF had, when representing you in purchasing a property, to ensure that the bank guarantee you had was legal and enforceable. This, in principle, could have easily been established by checking with the (Direccion General de Seguros). Our firm did pick up on this when we received our first fraudulent policy, and we published it in our website belegal.com and devwatch.com, forcing the developer Arenal 2000 to suspend the issuing of these.
Already others sites had picked up on this as early as September 2003, which is only a few months after LF represented you in the transaction, and which would objectively point to a grave professional negligence, with the result of monetary loss, for with a minimum due diligence carried out by LF it would have easily been detected that your money was at serious risk.
Aside from the above, LF should have, or could have, known full well that these documents were illegal because:
- Nobody had ever heard of them, particularly in the legal business.
- They were registered with the General Directorate of Insurance as being fraudulent.
- They looked, on the face of them, highly suspicious, and were printed off with cheap printers (we have several of these documents in our offices and the ink falls off them we ease).
- When calling the company, based in some small flat in Alberto Aguilera Street (Madrid), a Spanish-speaking Italian person would take the call, make a note and promise to call back (which he never did).
- Not once did they honour payments on a claimed bank guarantee.
All the above may have been known by LF only after representing you in the purchase, and hence they could resort to saying that it was not possible to have known then that this fraudulent entity was being used by certain not-so-solvent developers (and who presumably did not get proper guarantees for this reason). The reality, however, is that, with a minimum due diligence, any lawyer (and I even think than any layman with a cynical outlook) could have detected the fraud and prevented it. LF was processing contracts like a fast-food restaurant.
I would imagine that LF has not even reported this company to the police or the courts, nor has attempted to find remedy with their insurers to mitigate, if not totally, at least partially, the damage caused by their grave error.
The Spanish Supreme Court has established that a lawyer, not unlike doctors, architects or other professionals, have a obligation to carry out the task they have agreed to with an optimal execution, which presupposes an adequate professional preparation and entails a correct compliance with the entrusted job so that if it is not executed or it is improperly executed a full or partial contractual default of the professional's obligations will occur.
Similarly, the Supreme Court has established that the obligation of a lawyer is not one of "result" but of "means", which means that LF did not have an obligation to ensure, by way of searches and due diligence, that the development would be finished on time or at all, but certainly did have an obligation to ensure that, should the development not be completed, your deposit would be safe, which would have happened had LF carried out the instruction correctly.
In relation to professional indemnity insurance, the Malaga Law Society has signed a policy with the insurer Caser to cover losses of up to €600K per case. I am part of this insurance and presumably LF will be so as well, irrespective of other policies they may have taken out.
Since then we have found out that Compagnie des Guaranties has an address and accountants in London (30 City Road EC1Y 2AB and Arram Berlyn Gardner, respectively), files proper accounts, but, as expected, Mr. Mottola is never available. This evasive behaviour, coupled with the closing of the Madrid branch and, not the least, his inability to ever provide insurance services in Spain, as per the DGS (General Directorate of Insurance) ban, could be construed as a punishable offense with jail, for it is clear, if nobody else remedies it, that some hundreds of off-plan purchasers could have lost their deposits forever, as a direct result of this fraud.

|"Oilmen and Cactus Rustlers" explores what happened when a politically and economically conservative Los Angeles oligarchy with transnational ideas about urban growth collided—ideologically and otherwise—with the Mexican Revolution. It examines how an Angeleno economic elite constructed a relationship between a Los Angeles core and a Mexican periphery in the early part of the twentieth century and how the Mexican Revolution challenged and reshaped this envisaged bond. Focusing on the critical first half century of Los Angeles' phenomenal growth, this study explores how Angeleno and Mexican investors, boosters, diplomats, elected officials, workers, activists, lawyers, and journalists first forged and then negotiated the relationship between an urban core in Southern California and an imagined and real periphery that stretched across the border deep into Mexico. It argues that regional economic ambitions created financial ties between this Los Angeles oligarchy and Mexico. These economic interests drove Angeleno investment strategies and foreign policy positions. The Mexican Revolution of 1910, however, clearly demarcated the limits of transnational urban expansion and forced Angeleno city-builders to reconceptualize their relationship to Mexico. ❧ In taking up the relationship between Los Angeles and Mexico between 1890 and 1940, this study has several objectives. First, the project endeavors to transnationalize historical studies of the American city, particularly in the American West. It explores how the model of urban core and rural periphery intersected with an international border. Second, it contributes to literature on American empire and foreign relations by exploring the ways in which region functioned both within and outside of the nation-state. Third, it seeks to enhance understandings of the Mexican Revolution by exploring anti-Americanism as part of the twentieth century's first social revolution. It explores the ways in which Angelenos experienced and responded to the nationalism of the Mexican Revolution. Finally, cutting across all of these discussions are questions about the role of a regional American elite in maneuvering across borders and in and out of the political centers of power in both the United States and Mexico. The study examines the role of a regional elite, intent on growing their city and their fortunes, in shaping international relationships.

In the tech world, AOL is often the punch line to a joke—but its investors aren't laughing.
According to a new quarterly earnings report issued on Wednesday, AOL's first-quarter profits plummeted by two-thirds compared to the same period last year, reaching just $8.7 million. The company's stock has tanked by more than 20 percent as of this writing.
While many companies would be happy to take in several million dollars in profits, AOL has been on a slow decline for many years.
At the end of 2011, AOL had 3.3 million subscribers, a number that fell to 2.8 million by the end of 2012 and to 2.5 million by the end of 2013. That number dropped further to 2.4 million at the end of the first quarter.
According to the company's most recent annual report from February 2014, AOL warned that its subscriber base "is expected to continue to decline."
The company added:
This decline has been the result of several factors, including the increased availability of high-speed internet broadband connections and attractive bundled offerings by such broadband providers, the fact that a significant amount of online content, products and services has been optimized for use with broadband internet connections and the effects of our strategic shift to focus on generating advertising revenues, which resulted in us essentially eliminating our marketing efforts for our subscription access services and the free availability of the vast majority of our content, products and services. Although we provide many additional products and services as part of our subscription plans, there can be no assurance that our subscribers will value the bundle of services we offer and they may cancel their subscriptions at any time. If any of these factors result in our Subscriber base declining faster than we currently anticipate, our subscription and advertising revenues could be adversely affected.
AOL's profits dropped from $1.048 billion in 2012 to just $92.4 million in 2013—a fall of more than 90 percent.

EDITORIAL: Stop force-feeding Guantanamo prisoners on hunger strikes
President Barack Obama should end the painful and degrading practice of force-feeding prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and we'd ask him to consider the wise words on the issue from an international leader: President Barack Obama.
On Monday, federal Judge Gladys Kessler said she could not stop the practice in which feeding tubes are forcibly inserted through the nostrils and snaked into the stomachs of prisoners who are restrained in chairs. Forty-five of 106 detainees at Guantanamo Bay currently on hunger strike are being force-fed now.
Kessler said she had no authority to intervene in the treatment of Guantanamo prisoners, citing previous court rulings that courts had no power over the "conditions of confinement" of those "properly detained as an enemy combatant."
But the judge also said there "appears to be a consensus" that force-feeding violates international law, specifically Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which bars "torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment."
In May, United Nations officials also hammered home this point, telling Agence France-Presse that the World Medical Association, of which the U.S. is a member, declared in 1991 that forced-feedings are a violation of medical ethics.
"Even if intended to benefit, feeding accompanied with threats, coercion, force or use of physical restraints is a form of inhuman and degrading treatment," the organization said.
Artificial feeding can only be used if a prisoner agrees to it or is unable to make a competent decision on the practice, the association said.
That also comports with the beliefs of the American Medical Association, whose president told military officials earlier this year that doctors involved in forced feedings were violating "core ethical values of the medical profession."
We understand that some will argue it's cruel to allow prisoners to starve themselves. After all, the argument goes, we wouldn't allow prisoners to hang themselves or otherwise harm themselves.
But that's different. The issue here is the invasive nature of forced-feedings. The "force" is the problem.
Kessler said that while she was powerless in the case, there was one person who could stop the practice: Obama. And she quoted the president's words from a speech in May.
"Look at the current situation, where we are force-feeding detainees who are holding a hunger strike," Obama said in the portion of the speech Kessler quoted. "Is that who we are?"
Well, Mr. President, it's time to show us who you are.

Strong-to-severe storm risk in Oklahoma on Tuesday
Line of storms to move through Oklahoma Tuesday
Over the next few days we'll watch the warmth come back into the forecast. With adequate moisture and the approach of an open wave of energy, Tuesday will brings storms to Oklahoma.
The better instability will be to our southeast, so while we may see some strong storms in Oklahoma City, the highest chance of large hail and damaging winds will be in places from Purcell to Shawnee, to Seminole, Ardmore, McAlester, and southeast Oklahoma Tuesday. Take a look at both the "slight risk map" and "probability map."
The storm system approaching from the west will help spark storms early Tuesday morning from near Altus to Oklahoma City. Refer to the related image of Predictor model. A line of storms, or squall line, will set up basically parallel to I-44 and move east through the day.
For more you can follow me on KOCO's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/oklahomaweather and on Twitter: @DanielleDozier.

Never had a PC powerful enough to run GW2 until now so I am jumping on in to it and having a blast so far. Definitely way different compared to GW1 lol.

I have been a fenx member and officer active for over a decade from gw1 days. One of the best places for relaxation. Currently I run weekly training Raids on Saturdays and Completion Raids on Fridays at 9 eastern. We have daily fractal runs, just have to ask if anyones running them. We have a lot of other activities going on and off through out the weeks/months of the game. Most of us are active in evenings and weekends. Feel free to ask q's when you have a chance. Sincerely, Morrigan aka Morry
I am a returning casual GW2 player, I played at launch for abit and then quit. I am now back and playing again a few days a week, I am on the Sea of Sorrows server and leveled a Guardian to level 33 before using a level 80 ticket.
I am looking for a casual guild that is cool with me only be on a few days week, that is social, and willing to help me learn just about everything about this game aside of basic leveling up and map completion.
If this sounds like a good match up then send me an invite of a message.
hope to hear from you.

Hi, my girlfriend and I are interested in your guild. We're looking for that smaller close-knit feel, how large are you guys? And for raids, is your guild strict meta only?
Hello @Thundercleric.8912 We have about 300 members, but there is about 20-50 members on in game at any given time, and about 2-10 in discord. As for raids, no we aren't meta. we have 2 seperate days for riads, one is a training day and one is completion.
