There were many of those "what have I gotten myself into" moments, like when they told me to arrive at 4:00 in the morning to set up. Or, when I drove up, long before dawn, in my loaded-up Prius and got in line with all box trucks and huge trailers on trucks.
This was somewhere between the little engine that could, and that terrible sinking feeling.
Then, there was the actually loading in with huge diesel trucks, diesel fumes, and tons of glorious furniture wheeling off the trucks. Not to mention the beautiful rugs, hides and tapestries. I love seeing all the action, breathing the fumes for 4 hours, I can do without.
Then there was the lovely, rich displays that I didn't feel like I pulled off.
Their display- rich and riotous
Their display- beach-tastic
My display- clutter and contemporary, not to mention overwhelmed by the giant furniture behind me.
However, I learned more than I could have possibly imagined! The dealers around me were gracious, funny, and generous with tips and suggestions. I understand the market better, which will guide my buying in the future. I learning that these folks are successful because of years of building a base of people that come to them regularly. They have a clientele just like interior designers and I plan to count myself among their followers! This is not about showing up with the latest trend and assuming people know the trend, want to adopt it, and will buy. This is about educating the buyer, and yourself, about trends, makers, product components, furniture construction, etc. This is an "always learning, always moving" business and as one dealer told me, "we are gypsies" referring to the always picking for shows and going to them across the country lifestyle.
There is a good chance I will not be back as a dealer any time soon. I have to do some deep thought about it and make good plans. Best of the show was that I made some excellent connections that would have taken years to develop, as just a buyer. Also, I have a new outlook on my space at Interiors and Antiques.
I look forward to going back next month, or maybe January, to shop and see my new friends.

An American soldier, in a letter from Germany in April 1945, writes: "It was so horrible that had I not seen it, I wouldn't have believed it." Another soldier, upon viewing all the death and destruction, says, "That day we knew why we were fighting this war." And a nurse at Gusen, upon hearing of Holocaust deniers, concludes, "I knew I finally had to speak." These words summarize the shocked reactions of all liberators who saw the forced marches, the concentration and forced labor camps at the end of the war.
The stories in this section visualize telling, somehow typical events. Heartrending scenes are drawn for us: a dead prisoner lying at the side of a road, clutching a photograph of his family; a U.S. tank column halted by rows of "twisted, disfigured, starved, naked, charred, dead male bodies" sprawled across a road; haggard and filthy women freed from a slave labor camp, sobbing and clinging to their liberators. Detailed accounts of liberators' arrivals at two concentration camps are contained in "A Letter from Dachau" and "I Saw Buchenwald." At Dachau, we are shown not just dead bodies but barracks, crematory, and gallows, instruments of mass murder "more gruesome than any fiction writer could imagine." The writer at Buchenwald takes us along with him on "an eerie Tour of Horror." His tour, conducted by a camp internee, relates details of the prisoners' lives and shows us the physical plant: torture weapons, crematorium and other death houses, barracks, the laboratory where human beings were used for medical experiments, the sports arena where prisoners "played" games with SS troops who were armed with clubs.
These stories don't merely put the lie to those who would deny the facts or the importance of the Holocaust. They reaffirm and deepen the pathos of the stories written by survivors throughout this book. In fact, the liberators if anything describe the horrors in more awful, more graphic terms than our writers were able to bring themselves to use. The details that come out force readers to accept, even while we cannot imagine, the immensity of Nazi crimes in World War II.

Once I unlocked a secondary weapon on infiltrator, almost every time I sprint (L3) it switches over to the pistol. So I'm stuck fumbling around trying to click back to my shotgun with an enemy in my face annnnnd I'm dead. Really sucking the fun out of it.
I can sprint without changing weapons if I hold the stick perfectly straight forward, but that's not practical.
Is it supposed to be this way? Is there a way to have NO secondary weapon?
on 03-28-2015 05:01 PM
I never had this problem but maybe try to reset controler settings, try alternative controls or maybe if all this dont work equip two primary weapons perk and make sure your weapon you want to play is at second slot.
If this doesnt help try to reinstal the game or something.
on 03-28-2015 08:19 PM
Thanks. I'll try it out.
03-28-2015 08:53 PM - edited 03-28-2015 08:54 PM
Ok, I tried resetting to default. Then I changed the aim from hold to tap.
Still the same thing, but it's getting worse. I switched to some other type that doesn't have a secondary weapon unlocked. What happened was I would press L3 and it would go into aim. I'd push L3 again to get out of it and it shoots.
I have two controllers. I turned off the one I was using and used the other one. The second controller was even worse all over the place, cycling through what the eff ever with a mind of its own.
I was having so much fun with this game (first time playing my ps3 online, lovin' it) with no problems, now I'm in full on rage mode.
on 03-28-2015 09:05 PM
So I decided to do a search before I ran out and bought a new controller and incase anyone's having this problem this appears to be the solution:
Problems with the R and L3's causing random actions to happen is inside the controller. Just gotta do a little fixer-upper.

The write stuff: The renaissance of stationery
DESPITE the digital age, stationery is once again flying off the shelves in the UK. Ruby Millington looks at why the pen is mightier that the email...
This renaissance made the UK stationery and drawing materials market worth almost £430m in 2012 alon
On Valentine's Day a few years ago my friend Sally received a card. She was pretty sure it was from the man she'd been dating for six months or so but she couldn't be certain because, she realised, in all that time she'd never actually seen his handwriting.
Their communication had all been technological and, she now reflected, less than romantic on account of that. Instead of a bundle of love letters, she had nothing but an intangible collection of texts on her iPhone and a few (entirely lower case) emails. By sending the Valentine card the boyfriend confirmed how remiss he'd been.
Mind you, Sally wasn't quite Virginia Woolf herself. Searching for writing implements at home she found just a stubby pencil that had fallen into her pocket on a trip to Ikea. "The only thing I actually write by hand now is my shopping list," she lamented. "When I had to write a really long list at Christmas I practically got RSI from the strain of it."
Sally resolved to re-engage with the joys of putting pen to paper instead of fingers to keypad. And she's not alone. It's a welcome irony of the digital age that as technology advances many seem to be reverting to more old-fashioned methods of communication and record-keeping.
We're rediscovering the joys of stationery in particular – simple paper and writing products we can touch and smell and keep.
Shopping for stationery is a relatively guilt-free retail therapy
This renaissance made the UK stationery and drawing materials market worth almost £430m in 2012 alone. It's why in 2011 John Lewis reported a 177 per cent rise in sales of premium stationery, why business is booming at Ryman and Paperchase, why Liberty of London opened a dedicated stationery department with packets of pencils apparently flying off the shelves at £16.95 for six.
It's also why Smythson has reported annual profits of almost £2.5 million. Even costing £200 a pop, that adds up to an awful lot of calf leather-bound Portobello diaries they're selling.
The reason? Perhaps it's relatively guilt-free retail therapy we get from buying things that are actually useful. Perhaps it's the primitive sensory pleasure induced by choosing and using beautiful things. Or maybe it's more the potential that new stationery seems to hold – the new Moleskine notebook, which promises to inspire the great novel within us, the empty box files that we tell ourselves will turn us into an organisational genius, the deckle-edged writing paper that will make our letters read more like poetry.
The power we invest in these creative tools can border on the superstitious. "For some reason, I much prefer writing with a black pen than a blue one, and in a perfect world I'd always use 'narrow feint' writing paper," says JK Rowling.
And let's face it, it seems to work for her.
Perhaps it's also the fact that so much of our personal history is evident in our stationery. My father died 10 years ago but I still feel moved when I see his address book – the leather cover, pages filled with his backward-slanting italics and crossings out where friends predeceased him.
My introduction to correspondence was the thank-you letter. These were written on my mum's watermarked Azure Basildon Bond. This came in A5 pads with a ruled sheet to place beneath each page as a guideline. The spacing of the lines was mercifully wide so it was easy to cover a couple of pages which, once folded into their matching envelopes, made a satisfyingly thick missive.
My career as a writer continued when I secured a couple of pen friends via the ads in magazines such as Jackie. Both of my pen friends lived within driving distance, but that wasn't the point. I'd discovered a range of stationery called Hunkydory with paper in a mouthwatering range of suitably 70s colours – tangerine, crème de menthe, banana yellow – so vibrant that its brightness made up for what I wrote.
I remember the stationery at school better than most of what I learnt there. The shelves in the art room filled with sugar paper that set one's teeth on edge and which we cut using the enormous guillotine. The ink station where the girls who used proper Parker fountain (as opposed to Paper Mate cartridge) pens filled them up with Quink.
Thirty years on I still receive Christmas cards from a particularly classy school friend, who still uses the latter. Her envelopes are immediately recognisable and it's become a Christmas highlight when "Emma's card" arrives. Which is what it's all about, isn't it? Being tweeted is never going to make us feel like a million dollars.
We're unlikely ever to flick back through the pages of our online iCalendars and reminisce about years gone by. So maybe it's time to invest in that personalised writing set. Smythson here I come.

Hey babes, happy Friday! While I may be in Cali over on Instagram, on the blog today I've partnered with Boohoo to style a spring look that can be easily transformed by just adding heels.
As soon as I spied this blush floral dress on the Boohoo website, I knew it was meant for me. The print is so pretty and feminine, and the ruffles add a romantic touch. I love this blue cardigan, it's the perfect topper for chilly spring mornings. Clearly I have a thing for blue and blush lately 😉 If this outfit were to be worn with flats, it would have a much more relaxed and casual look – perfect for Sunday brunch! However, by adding heels instead, this dress is transformed into something party ready. Weddings, derby parties, baby showers – you name it! These strappy blush heels really took this look to the next level. And the best part about this look? It's under $100! Can't beat that!
Does anyone have fun weekend plans? My mom and I are having THE BEST time in Palm Springs, be sure to follow along on Snapchat and Instagram for updates from California!

Caralluma Burn Review – Caralluma Burn Appetite Suppressant

In case you are in the lookout for a supplement that can deliver results are promised, it has to be this pill.
1. The Plant That Is Caralluma Fimbriata.
Native in India, the caralluma fimbriata is a very juicy plant which is also used as a thirst quencher at the same time, Considered as one of the early sources of foods by the native Indians, it can be eaten raw, cooked or preserved. Because of its excellent ability to suppress hunger among Indian hunters and travellers, it has been dubbed as the "famine food". Thus, nobody gets hungry whenever a part of this plant is chewed or eaten. Seeing this as a potential weight loss supplement, medical researches have finally unveiled Caralluma Burn. It is a supplement that works to prevent you from indulging in too much food by making you lose your appetite.
2. Natural Is Better.
The trend on going healthy has taken the world by storm that even weight loss supplements were not spared from it. While most of the supplements advertise themselves as safe and all natural, this testimony is contradicted by bad reviews written against them. Unlike with Caralluma Burn, the supplement will speak for itself. No wonder, it has won the hearts of many weight watchers. In fact, if used along with exercise and a strict diet regimen, results will be felt in due time.
3. Off To A New And Sexier You.

Guidelines for Decontamination of Facilities and Equipment (July 1982 Revision)
See the memorandum from R. E. Cunningham to G. Page (and others) dated July 22, 1982. The memo provides NMSS revision of "Guidelines for Decontamination of Facilities and Equipment Prior to Release for Unrestricted Use or Termination of Licenses for Byproduct, Source, or Special Nuclear Materials."
More than one branch of the Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety have been using a document titled, "Guidelines for Decontamination of Facilities and Equipment Prior to Release for Unrestricted Use or Termination of Licenses for Byproduct, Source, or Special Nuclear Materials." There are, however, two versions of this document, dated November 1976 and June 1980, that have slight differences in wording but not in technical content.
In order to provide a single document that can be used uniformly by all branches of the Division, the version dated June 1980 was revised, and this revised version, dated July 1982, should be used by all branches of the Division until a subsequent revision is required.
A copy of the July-1982 revision is provided as an enclosure to the memorandum. The instructions in the report specify the radionuclides and radiation exposure rates which should be used in decontamination and survey of surfaces or premises and equipment prior to abandonment or release for unrestricted use. The limits in Table 1 of the report do not apply to premises, equipment, or scrap containing induced radioactivity for which the radiological considerations pertinent to their use may be different. The release of such facilities or items from regulatory control is considered only on a case-by-case basis.
Regulatory references: 10 CFR 30.3, 10 CFR 40.3, 10 CFR 70.3
Subject codes: 3.6, 5.0, 12.4
Applicability: Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Materials

Niall Horan Gives One Direction Update
Talk about something to be thankful for! Directioners got the ultimate early holiday treat over the weekend when Niall Horan told a British outlet that the on-hiatus group will "definitely" reform, at some point. Speaking to Sunday People, Horan reportedly said of One Direction, "we will be back. We would be silly not to… ridiculous." There is, of course, no timetable for that return.
Grabbed on a red carpet at a Los Angeles event recently, Horan said the guys were "enjoying" their time off. "At the moment we are all doing our own thing," he said. "Harry wanted to do his movie and everyone is just chilling… I don't think anyone needs to worry about us we are fine." A spokesperson for Horan could not be reached at press time to shed further light on the comments.

I promised myself I wouldn't fly through January. This is the last month that the hubby will be in the house we live in now. Hold please, I need to breathe.
Ok, I'm back. So I promised myself I'd really soak in January but it is already the second week?! Are you kidding me? I keep thinking that it'll slow down enough for me to accomplish the things that I need to accomplish but I just don't think that happens in real life. So, I'm just taking it a day at a time. I realized that whether or not I have my "to do list" done by February 5, that day is still going to come.
We have some amazing things coming up to savor Sam's last days in NC. We're headed to the snowy mountains this weekend with some great friends, next weekend we are going quail hunting with my dad, and our last weekend we are going on a romantic trip to Chapel Hill to do all of things we used to do when we dated. (And yes, I even pondered trying to break into the house I used to live in college and make out on the couch… but I won't. Or will I…MUAHAHA)
But in the midst of all of this, I think the biggest thing I'm grateful for is that I'm not on sinking sand. A lot of things are changing in my life… including the size of my rear… but I worship a God who is so constant and unchanging that when I dwell on Him, life slows down a bit. I was given an image this morning. I got swept up in the details of the move and the baby to the point that the room felt like it was spinning. But I pushed my chair back, put my head in my hands and asked for the Lord's presence. The image that I got was that the room kept spinning, but I was being held still, in Peace's arms, I was being held.
I hope that you feel held today. I hope you feel peace today. Sometimes it rushes over us but most of the time, we have to seek it.
The hubby and I seeking peace. This makes my heart happy. I'm so blessed to have a partner who stirs up an
adventurous spirit in me but also joins me in times of peace.

48÷2(9+3) -- The Meme
Okay, it seems to me that the answer to this little arithmetic problem that's been working its way around the internet is 2, and not 288. A lot of people are going to argue with that, but hear me out.
According to Wikipedia, for those who aren't already aware, the standard order of operations in arithmetic is:
* terms inside brackets (or parentheses)
* exponents and roots
* multiplication and division
* addition and subtraction
So the very first thing we do is simplify this to 48÷2(12). And here's where things get problematic.
Are 2(12) and 2 × 12 the same? They're both notations for multiplication, but are they the same? I'd maintain that they are not, and I'll show you why.
Suppose our problem was 48 ÷ 2x. Is this the same as 48 ÷ 2 × x? If so, we'd go from left to right and say 48 ÷ 2 is 24, 24 × x is 24x. But if ÷ and / both signify division, then 48 ÷ 2x is 48/2x which I think anyone would correctly evaluate as 24/x.
See the problem?
So either the two notations for "divided by" are different in some way, or the two notations for "multiplied by" are different in some way. (Or both, obviously.) This whole problem could be avoided, of course, by the use of parentheses, like this:
(48 ÷ 2)(9 + 3)
48 ÷ (2(9 + 3)).
It's possible that the standard order of operations simply isn't clear enough. But I think the correct answer is that / and ÷ are the same, but × and positioning the two expressions right next to each other, while both signifying multiplication, are different.
The reason brackets or parentheses are evaluated first is that they are a means of grouping. I'd maintain that the positioning of two expressions right next to each other for the purpose of multiplication is an implicit method of grouping them, and that this kind of multiplication should be evaluated prior to division or any other multiplication.
Comments are welcome.

The Public Authority for Industry (PAI) Director General Abdulkareem Taqi said on Saturday that his visit to Russia aims at boosting knowledge on Russia's industrial experience.
Taqi made his remarks to KUNA, after arriving in the city of Ekaterinburg to participate in the first meeting with Russian Federation and GCC countries' ministers, on the sideline of the International Industry exhibition (INNOPROM-2017).
Taqi added that his visit also comes to activate bilateral agreements between the two countries, including exchange of experience and information.
The Kuwaiti official noted that his interests also to get acquainted with the Russian industrial achievements in various fields, including electronic waves, medicine, food, petrochemicals, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Taqi added that Kuwait is very much keen on developing its industrial capabilities, increase exports, enter the Russian market, and achieve growth between the two nations because the current level of growth is very modest.
"Kuwait is also keen on bringing foreign investments and participate in establishing industrial zones in the country," Taqi said. Upon arrival, Taqi was received by Russia Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Alexy Kuznetsov.
The Kuwaiti delegation is also due to meet next Monday with Russian Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Viktor Eftekhov. INNOPROM-2017 fair is due to take place from July 9-10 and will bring together 640 industrial companies from 17 countries.

Review: Spacejacked (1997)
Spacejacked or high on crack? Corbin Bernsen
chews up the scenery.
Originally uploaded by sacrificepawn.
Sometime in the near-future a spaceship called the Star Princess is gliding from Earth toward the moon. The Star Princess is a luxury cruise ship which takes the extremely wealthy on pleasure trips, and this voyage is one such excursion. The passengers are all billionaires with the exception of Dawn, an administrative assistant who won her trip in a contest.
With the cruise underway, the guests are busy making use of the virtual reality couches, mood-altering drugs, and free booze. On the bridge, however, there seems to be a malfunction with the ship's life-pods. We soon learn that the malfunction is actually sabotage, perpetrated by the ship's second mate Barnes (Corbin Bernsen) and his android partner-in-crime Gibson. The two ne'er-do-wells kill the Captain, deploys all but one of the life-pods and cause an explosion that nearly destroys the ship (the size of the explosion having been a little bigger than Barnes intended.)
The surviving passengers in the ship's lounge include Dawn, first mate Taylor, the bartender, the cruise director, a seemingly mentally retarded android named Mac, and a handful of billionaires. Barnes appears to them on a monitor from the ship's bridge and demands bank account access codes from the rich folks, threatening to leave them there to die if they don't comply. He inexplicably gives them thirty minutes to "think it over" (which in movies always means "try to escape.")
Taylor hatches a plan to try to make his way to the bridge and send a distress signal. The explosion knocked out life-support for most of the ship, so Taylor sends Mac to retrieve a space suit for him. This almost works, but when Mac runs into an exposed and very live wire he fries his already questionable mental circuitry and goes wandering up to the bridge himself. Barnes shoves him into the airlock and jettisons him into space.
When the allotted thirty minutes have elapsed Barnes has Gibson bring one of the billionaires to the bridge. Barnes forces the bank code out of him and then guns him down, not bothering to confirm that it was the correct code first. It isn't, of course, so Barnes is forced to use a code-cracking computer program instead. Meanwhile, Taylor and Dawn find another way to the space-suits and make their way toward the bridge. Knowing that the life-pod can only hold seven of the eight "good" people on the ship, Taylor sends Dawn back to gather the other passengers and lead them to the pod while he continues to the bridge to make another attempt at sending a distress signal. Barnes, aware that Taylor and Dawn are up to something, sends Gibson to kill them.
Taylor sneaks onto the bridge through an air duct and jumps on Barnes. During their fight a stray shot from Barnes' ray-gun hits a pipe and black smoke comes out. Taylor wisely zips up his space-suit but Barnes is unprotected and the smoke causes him to choke. He dies in seconds, frozen in a goofy position for all eternity. Gibson finds Dawn and nearly strangles her, but she sticks some C-4 on him and blows him through a wall. She collects the other passengers and they head for the life-pod. On the way the bartender is pointlessly killed, opening up a slot in the pod for Taylor.
Dawn, somewhat unwisely, sets the life-pod to launch in five minutes and then rushes to the bridge to get Taylor. She and Taylor don't quite make it back in time and they're left behind on the ship, which is slowly losing life-support. Fortunately (I guess), Mac the android shows up just in time with a rescue party and saves them. Hooray.
According to the Theory of Special Relativity, a person traveling very quickly through space may experience a peculiar phenomenon known as "time dilation." The idea is that if you move fast enough you will experience time differently from someone at a fixed point. For example, if you left Earth on a spaceship traveling at 99% the speed of light, and continued at that speed for 86 minutes, back on Earth 602 minutes would have elapsed (because time is distorted by a factor of seven at that speed.) Coincidentally, watching Spacejacked can also make 86 minutes stretch to what seems like 602.
Seriously, this movie hurt me in a deep and profound way. In trying to write the synopsis I had to stop to question my memory several times - so many things just didn't add up. Was I remembering incorrectly? I consulted with my wife (who endured this pile of space-crap with me), but our questions only served to confuse us further. With all apologies to any hardcore Spacejacked fans out there, I did the best I could with it. Actually, I think my summary might make more sense than the movie did.
Spacejacked is a film which lacks any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Terrible acting, cheap production, bad effects, incomprehensible script - I really can't think of a single nice thing to say about it. Well, it had a couple of sex scenes for those desperate for a peek at some boobs, but that's it. And if I were those boobs, I'd feel very wasted on this movie.
Of its myriad offenses, its plot is perhaps Spacejacked's weakest point. The general concept is pretty generic - that much I could forgive - but as the story unfolds there are so many inconsistencies and unanswered questions that you're left feeling completely bamboozled. How, for instance, can a ship as seemingly massive as the Star Princess get by with no support staff? Why does Gibson plant C-4 all over the ship and nearly blow it to kingdom come before the plan is even underway? Why does Barnes need to hold the billionaires hostage when he has a computer program that will crack their bank account codes? What is the mysterious black smoke that comes out of the pipe and causes Barnes to freeze like a statue? Why does Dawn have to set the timer on the life-pod for five minutes? I'm sorry - I shouldn't burden you with these questions. I brought this on myself.
Another fatal flaw in Spacejacked is the performance of Corbin Bernsen. Before seeing this film I had a reasonably positive impression of the man, but his portrayal of Barnes is so unbearable that I found myself gritting my teeth each time he came on-screen. When he's not bellowing like an enraged gorilla or tormenting his space-captives he's throwing petulant tantrums and berating his android. I don't know if he smoked a bad batch of crystal meth or what, but his behavior is so psychotic that I really started to pity his costars (and myself) for having to endure him.
While I was gratified to finally see a movie where the androids weren't played by Frank Zagarino, the two androids in Spacejacked made me almost wistful for his beefy, stoic performances. Gibson and Mac are both so feckless that you wouldn't trust them to fix your refrigerator, much less operate a spaceship. Gibson is spastic and unpredictable; Mac seems sort of like the android equivalent of that guy from Sling Blade. If this is the future of human simulacra, I think I'll take a pass.
The one thing about Spacejacked that truly sets it apart from other films of its ilk is its soundtrack. I hesitate to use the term "score" because I'm afraid it would give it too much credit, but I think I can say without reservation that Spacejacked has the most inappropriate music in film history. It almost (ALMOST) makes the movie worth watching - I laughed out loud several times at the unbelievable disconnect between the music and the action. What best suits a tense, dramatic scene? A three-minute bongo drum solo, of course. How about a jolly, lilting clarinet tune to go with your action-packed fight scene? If you told me that the entire soundtrack was lifted directly from an unreleased feature-length episode of "Scooby-Doo," I wouldn't doubt you for a second.
Final Analysis
Despite the entertainment value of its soundtrack, Spacejacked was truly a painful movie experience. It starts with a tired and overused premise and then makes it almost unintelligible through bad screenwriting, directing, and acting. It's bad, and not a good kind of bad. This little mission never should have made it off the launch pad.

(Crazy) Quote of the Day
"(It) would be a great thing to do, but because the Senate is controlled by Democrats we would never be able to get the Senate first to take up that action, because they simply don't care what the American public thinks. They would protect him and they wouldn't even bring it up."
-- Former Godfather's Pizza CEO and current GOP presidential candidate and walking punchline Herman Cain on the possibility of impeaching President Obama
My favorite thing about this isn't that Herman Cain wants to see Obama impeached even though he couldn't for the life of him give you a legitimate reason why, certainly not one that would hold up against any scrutiny; that sort of comical insanity is par for the course among the circus clowns that make up the current Republican party. No, what's noteworthy, if only for the sheer scope of the delusional thinking it illustrates, is that Cain honestly seems to believe that the American people he's invoking en masse want to see Barack Obama impeached and that only the Democratic-controlled Senate is standing in the way of their will being done.
That's the kind of crazy you just can't put a price tag on.

It tells you that they don't think impeachment really means anything. It is just something to say, a word that sounds impressive as a threat.

I think you've hit some sort of record today with "quote of the day" posts. Sigh. We don't really need records like that, though.

At this point it's kind of a running gag.

Hello and welcome everybody to our Thursday - Community Win.
In the past we have talked a lot with wiki ninjas about what it is like to be a wiki ninja, what real ninjas are and what that has to do with the wiki. Before I start the real post let me give you an overview what other wiki ninjas think about the "ninja style":
- Ed Price on "Why Ninjas?"
- Also Ed on what is a wiki ninja and why
- Thomas on "Teach a Ninja to Fish"
- Peter Geelen on the ninjas favorite pet
- Peter on "Teach a Ninja to Hunt" ...
... and many more, more, more articles. I have thought about to mention every article in this post, but I think I better write a book about it 😉
But what makes a ninja a ninja? Of course a black suit, but if that were the only symbol of recognition the Men in Black are also ninjas. I do not want to say they aren't, but let me come back to my original question: What makes a ninja a ninja? Another good answer could be "He/she has a ninja stick figure like this or that one". Ok, now we are close to my point. I will give you the answer. It is the mystical belt which makes a ninja a ninja. But here's the problem: How do you distinguish between a novice and a real master, a non-invisible wiki ninja? To help you to answer that question the Grand Master himself gives you an overview about the wiki ninja belt rankings. With that secret weapon in your pocket you're closer to become a real ninja.
Back to "reality": That's one point to recognize a ninja. What do you think? What makes a ninja a ninja?

Cheese slicer CW key
by OH6DC
Sometimes a man has to choose between cheese and CW.
However, it is always a good idea to kindly ask permission from your spouse before modifying any of your valuable kitchen accessories to cool CW keys.
My slicer was bought from a flea market. The knob is recycled from an old cupboard door.
Because of some mistake with lights and camera settings, this video is yellow as cheese:

Budding swimmers in Berkeley got a surprise visit Thursday morning.
A deer decided to join the fun at Martin Luther King Middle School, and jumped into a pool, barely missing the students, ages three to six, a lifeguard told Berkeleyside.
The animal scampered across the pool deck and dived into the deep end of the pool. Lifeguards Jasper Solomon and Adonis Boyd asked the young swimmers to vacate the pool and rushed to help the fawn, Berkeleyside reported.
Using a lifejacket and floaters, the pair guided the animal to the shallow side of the pool, from where it scrambled out and fled.
Solomon told Berkeleyside that the children were surprised, but no one was hurt.
"The kids got a kick out of all the excitement!" Jeff Johnston, whose son was learning how to swim at the time, told Berkeleyside.
Solomon said that an employee had noticed the deer earlier in the day. It likely "hopped a fence" to gain access to the pool deck, he told Berkeleyside.
The children returned to their lesson once the wayward deer was helped out of the water.

MANILA, Philippines - A former ambassador is expanding his media empire consisting of a business newspaper and radio broadcast firm with the acquisition of Radio Philippines Network Inc. (RPN-9).
Antonio Cabangon-Chua, former ambassador to Laos, owns Aliw Broadcasting Corp. that runs radio station dwIZ and Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing that prints the newspaper Business Mirror.
Aliw Broadcasting was established in 1991 and currently operates 10 radio stations, including Home Radio in Metro Manila.
A source said Cabangon-Chua has been elected chairman of RPN-9, replacing Wilson Tieng who owns Solar Entertainment Corp. that has a 33 percent stake in the TV network partly owned by the government.
RPN-9 is also partly owned by the Benedicto family who are closely associated with the late President Ferdinand Marcos and former First Lady Imelda Marcos and Far East Managers and Investors Inc.
The source added that talks between the camp of Cabangon-Chua and the Tieng group for the acquisition of the stake of Solar Entertainment in RPN-9 are ongoing.
Solar Entertainment is a leader in the creation, promotion and distribution of entertainment and sports content programming. Its roster of entertainment and sports channels include ETC, 2nd Avenue, Jack TV, Solar Sports and Basketball TV.
Both Cabangon-Chua and Tieng refused to comment on the reported buyout, saying both groups were bound by a confidentiality agreement.
A post in the website of Solar News announced that Solar News Channel would officially change its name to 9TV starting Aug. 23, marking the beginning of the channel's thrust to reach a wider audience and strengthen the presence on free TV RPN-9.
Similarly, the Solar News organization will be known as 9News.
The company said in a statement that 9TV would continue to focus its programming on providing news and information but it would also beef up its weekend programming to cater to more viewers.
"The network will retain its objectives and values. 9TV will continue making its mark in developing an informed and inspired public, while also broadening its appeal to the free TV audience," the company said in a statement.
It added that 9News would "continue to be the credible and consistent source of news and information, offering 'News You Can Use' and back-to-basics journalism."
Starting Aug. 23, the Solar News website would also change its address from its current www.solarnews.ph to www.9news.ph while its Twitter account would become @9newsph and Facebook account will be www.facebook.com/9newsph.

BRYAN - A university where people are known to greet each other with "Howdy" aims to soon become known for a 21st century style of communication—between driverless cars.
Texas A&M University is building a $150 million research campus at the former Bryan Air Base, about ten miles west of the main campus in College Station. The facility also is known as the Riverside Campus.
Construction has already begun on the facility at the renovated Riverside Campus.
When it opens, it will become known as the RELLIS Campus—which stands for the "Aggie core values" of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity and selfless service.
The renovated campus will emphasize research on driverless cars, vehicle-to-vehicle communications, crash avoidance and other technological improvements to automobiles.
The research is expected to include the use of the university's resources in partnerships with private-sector companies.
A conference was hosted by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, which is known nationwide for its research into traffic fatalities, congestion and high-tech safety improvements.
The facility also will focus on many forms of cutting edge research including robotics, power grids and water systems.
A secured area will be set aside for companies that wish to keep their ideas quiet before they unveil them to the world.
The university also announced plans to build a $38 million education center that will offer two-year and four-year degrees to students not admitted to A&M's main campus through affiliations with other universities in the A&M system.

I want to start using a version control system (git) to manage having multiple website developers working on websites. This way, we can all see who made what changes and at what time.
I did some searching and found this guide on pushing code to a live server. My git knowledge doesn't really extend beyond simple commits and pushing/pulling so I have some questions about doing this.
Pushing code to a live server seems a bit risky. Would it be fine to keep the production code in a master branch and put new features/bug fixes into seperate branches. Then, other devs can pull in those branches and check them, etc, before merging them into master?
How can I manage permissions on the website docroot? If two different users are pushing their code to the server, how do I get those files to be owned by www-data:www-data when they're sent to the docroot?

607 14th Street, NW Suite 900, Washington, DC USA 20005

New Hampshire primary: Mitt Romney's historic win
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire RepublicanU.S. presidential primary yesterday by a comfortable margin.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire Republican U.S. presidential primary yesterday by a comfortable margin — his second straight victory in the race to become his party's choice to challenge Democratic President Barack Obama on Nov. 6.
Based on early returns with about 10 percent of the vote counted, U.S. television networks declared Romney the victor. With about 15 percent of the vote counted, the networks said Romney had won 36 percent of the vote with Congressman Ron Paul in second with 25 percent.
The New Hampshire primary is the second contest in the state-by-state battle for the Republican presidential nomination to face Obama. Romney narrowly won the first contest, the Iowa caucuses, on Jan. 3.
The former investment firm chief scored the clear victory despite rivals' fierce 11th-hour attacks painting him as a heartless corporate raider who enjoys cutting jobs. Romney's stint as a relatively moderate governor of neighboring Massachusetts has also sparked skepticism from conservatives.
Voters responded to Romney's claim that his private sector experience would help him galvanize the weak U.S. economy.
"I was looking for someone who is smart, knows our country, knows the financial system and how to get the country moving again with jobs," said Eddie Carr, a 77-year-old bus driver who voted for Romney. "I think it was right to vote for him. I think he can get the country going."
Obama maintains lead in polls
Mitt Romney has sailed farther ahead of rival Republican candidates nationally but still trails President Barack Obama in the White House race, according to a Reuters- Ipsos poll yesterday.
The poll suggests Romney has consolidated support among Republicans since winning the first nominating contest in Iowa by a slim margin last week.
Romney's closest rival in the national poll was Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, who had 20 percent support, down from 28 percent in December.
Obama, a Democrat, leads all of the Republican candidates in the race. Better economic data have helped him stay ahead of Romney in the past two months. The latest survey shows him leading by 48 percent to 43 percent.
"Obama's standing has started to improve parallel with the economy," pollster Chris Jackson said.

The Bubble-Copter-Thing Movie
Oblivion is a 2013 sci-fi action film based on an unproduced comic book written by Joseph Kosinski. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) and written by Karl Gajdusek (Last Resort) and Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3, Star Wars Episode VII) and follows Jack (Tom Cruise) who, alongside partner Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), repair drones for the people of Earth, who fled after an alien invasion. However, when mysterious strangers Julia (Olga Kurylenko), Beech (Morgan Freeman) and Sykes (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) arrive, Jack discovers a shocking secret that will change their lives forever.
|Cruise, responding to an emergency call a little too late.
The Year of the Pretty
If we don't remember 2013 for anything else, we'll remember it as the year all the movies looked pretty. Pacific Rim, Gravity, literally any animated movie. And, of course, Oblivion. I'll admit, Oblivion is a very nice looking movie, which isn't a huge surprise from the guy who made Tron: Legacy. The world created is truly a stunning one. But, there lies the problem with this movie. It seems most of the creative effort went into making a beautiful world. The story of Oblivion is, well, not great. And the characters, well, they aren't great either. Oblivion feels more like a video game than most video game movies do. The locations are great and the set pieces strong, but the characters and story feel like they are only there to get you from one stunning locale to the next stunning locale. Sure, Cruise is a nice little booster to the film, but the filmmakers seemed to have been barely trying. The film has this weird feeling like the filmmakers knew this was going to be an only-average film. Which is too bad, because they almost had something here.
Ramp Up
Oblivion is a twist movie, a film based centrally around a mysterious twist that will be revealed partway through the movie. However, this time, the twist is actually a surprise. I made my guesses as to what was really going on, but Oblivion honestly surprised me with a smart and interesting twist. I won't ruin it for you here, but basically, the reveal of what parts of the story we've been told are true and what are more complicated is done very well and raises some very interesting question. However, the film largely does nothing with this twist. The characters react but, disappointingly, the story never does. The film keeps on, on a slow pace that treats this twist as just another bit of exposition to give out so any of this makes sense. It never ramps up the action. Questions are raised, not by the movie, but by the viewer. Questions that never get satisfyingly explored in the film. And as a result, the film is never able to get past the bland, generic story the filmmakers seemed so intent on making.
|The next iPhone was just ludicrous.
The Verdict
Oblivion is hardly a bad movie. Clear care went into making a great world for the characters and story to live in, backed by some strong performances and a great twist. However, the filmmakers never seemed to think this could be anything other than an average sci-fi flick. And as a result, the intriguing twist gets buried in an exposition-heavy, generic sci-fi story that never gets going like it should. A real shame. Something great could have happened here. Oblivion gets 4 stars out of 6.

I had never heard of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) until I read about it recently in an article by Dr. Lisa Sanders in The New York Times Magazine . The thing that inspired me to do some research into the subject was Dr. Sanders' observation that TOS is most commonly seen in young athletes who use their upper extremities extensively baseball pitchers, weightlifters or workers who use their arms above the level of their shoulders. She described an athletic young man who developed a blood clot.
Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but I have discussed the subject with several doctors. My whole life I've worked in a business where I had to spend a lot of time working under cars with my arms raised above my shoulders. Somehow it always seemed harder when I'd been off on vacation for a while. That first day back on the job was mild torture for me when I had to keep my hands up in the air for long periods of time while working under a car on a lift. That always seemed to pass in a day, after which I felt normal.
Fortunately, I've never developed a blood clot or experienced the symptoms associated with TOS. But it seemed to me that the conditions that can trigger TOS are an integral part of the auto repair business, and I thought it was important to share with you what I've learned about TOS.
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when a vein or artery is pinched off, much like when you clamp off a fuel line with a pair of locking pliers. Only in this case it isn't locking pliers but the clavicle, also known as the collarbone, pinching a vein and/or artery closed against a tight fibrous band that connects the spinal vertebra to the ribs. Pinching off the flow of blood through the vein or artery may cause numbness in the last three fingers of the hand and the inner forearm.
I spoke with Dr. Carlos A. Selmonosky from Falls Church , VA , a cardiovascular surgeon who teaches at Fairfax University Hospital and is an expert on TOS. Dr. Selmonosky told me about his years of experience with TOS and pointed to a fairly simple way to diagnose the condition. He recommends the patient raise one or both hands above the shoulder. If either hand turns pale, it's what doctors call the white hand sign .
Obviously, it takes a doctor and perhaps even a specialist to diagnose TOS. Dr. Selmonosky pointed out that TOS is often misdiagnosed, and patients often get treated for some other condition, which may not be the problem. The white hand sign is only one third of what's called a diagnostic triad. (Doctors look for at least three symptoms to identify a condition.) But it should not be ignored.
If you suspect that you may have TOS because you notice your hands ache, become pale and/or feel cool, or you seem to tire much more quickly than you used to when you work with your hands above your shoulders, it would be a good idea to consult your physician. Don't discount the possibility that what you're experiencing may be TOS.
When you see a physician, you might mention to him that you have read about TOS and hope that he would keep that in mind during his evaluation. Carefully explain the precise symptoms you've observed when you feel the pain. Tell him what you were doing and mention the position of your arms. In fact, you'll aid in the diagnosis if you make careful notes about exactly what you experienced, and where, when and for how long you experienced it.
The good news is that TOS generally does not require surgery to correct. Dr. Selmonosky told me that it could be just a matter of improving your posture to take the pressure off the pinched veins and arteries. Physical therapy can do wonders to strengthen the shoulder muscles and thereby better support the collarbone. Being overweight can be a contributing factor, and the remedy there, obviously, would be to lose weight. You might have to change your work habits and perhaps your exercise habits as well.
I also contacted Dr. David Agnew of the USC Keck School of Medicine, who has treated many TOS patients. Dr. Agnew told me: "The condition [TOS] is often missed or misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome or, at times, tardy ulnar palsy, and the presenting symptoms are similar—numb hands which awaken from sleep and TOS can be the instigating cause, found only after failed carpal or ulnar tunnel release surgeries. Shoulder impingement or cervical disc disease can also be mistaken diagnoses and TOS is much harder to treat if cervical spinal or shoulder surgeries have been performed."
If the symptoms I've described seem to fit what you are experiencing, the first thing you need to do is consult a physician. However, there are some simple things you can do that way relieve the symptoms. Like your mother probably told you, "Don't slump, sit and stand up straight." Avoid carrying heavy bags over your shoulder. The strap of the bag could put pressure on the collarbone, causing the vein or artery to be pinched.
On Dr. Selmonosky's very informative and well-illustrated website, www.tos-syndrome.com, you can see clear examples of the white hand sign and a wealth of information that you may find extremely useful.
The Trade Secret is to know that for every symptom there is a cause. If an engine develops a lean misfire or sets a trouble code, there's a definite reason it did so. It's the same with the machine that is your body. If you have pain, if your hands ache, if the color changes or you experience the symptoms described above, there has to be a reason, and you owe it to yourself and your family to pay attention to the symptoms that could be TOS.

Did you know 300,000 kids in metro Detroit don't get enough to eat on weekends?
That's because they are out of school and don't get the free or low-cost meals provided there during the weekdays.
Gleaners and Weingartz want to do something about that.
Between now and October 11, the metro Detroit family-owned and locally operated provider of outdoor power equipment lawn will partner with Gleaners for the 7th annual Mow Down Hunger campaign. Weingartz will match every donation and hopes to provide one million meals for those in need.
The one million meals goal is very doable. Last year the program provided 1.9 million meals.
Mow Down Hunger directly supports Gleaners programs that help provide nutritious meals on the weekends.
- School Food Mobiles distribute frozen meat, fresh produce and other nutritious food to 75-100 households at their children's schools. Gleaners expects to provide 60 monthly distributions of 30-35 pounds each, serving 8,000 families.
- The BackPack program is a partnership with local schools to deliver backpacks on Fridays filled with nutritious food to children who rely on free or reduced-fee meals at school during the week. Each is filled with shelf stable milk, canned protein, canned fruit, canned vegetables, whole grain cereal or crackers. The backpacks are filled by school children who volunteer for Gleaners' Kids Helping Kids® program, educating them about childhood hunger and nutrition.
"I am truly grateful for the Weingartz family's longstanding commitment to solving child hunger in southeast Michigan," says Gleaners President Gerry Brisson. "With their support, and the tremendous response that their generosity inspires from the community, Gleaners is able to nourish thousands of hungry children every month. Together we are giving these kids the nutritious food they need to succeed in school and in life, and improving the health of their families and neighborhoods."
All Weingartz locations are accepting monetary and nonperishable food donations through October 11. Visit http://www.weingartz.com/locations to view store hours and locations.
Donations can also be made online at www.MowDownHunger.org or by calling 866-GLEANER (453-2637). You can also send a check payable to Gleaners Community Food Bank (P.O. Box 44050, Detroit, MI 48244-0050). Please include Mow Down Hunger on memo line of check to ensure matching contribution.
