George Villiers Buckingham, 2d duke of Buckingham, George Villiers, 2d duke of, 1628–87, English courtier; son of the 1st duke. Brought up with the royal family and educated at Cambridge, he was a strong royalist in the English civil war. In 1648 he escaped to the Continent, where he became a privy councillor of the exiled Charles II. He accompanied Charles to Scotland in 1650 and fought at Worcester (1651), but later intrigues with Oliver Cromwell's government estranged him from Charles. In 1657, Buckingham returned to England and married Mary, the daughter of the Puritan general Thomas Fairfax of Cameron. He hoped thereby to recover his estates, which had been confiscated in 1651, but instead he was imprisoned until 1659. After the Restoration (1660) he regained the favor of Charles II and was one of the most powerful courtiers of the reign. Vain and ambitious, he was known for his recklessness, quarrelsome temper, and lack of principle. He was a member of the Cabal and a bitter rival of his fellow ministe

Any physical anomaly, such as a mismatch between body parts (external) and gender (internal) or other birth imperfection is not God’s desire or intent. As Christians, shall we unlike Jesus, turn away from our T-gender brothers and sisters born clearly with a physical imperfection that is obviously a product of inherited sin? Or shall we, like Jesus, embrace them, shower them with benevolent acceptance and in so doing live up to the one commandment that sums up all the rest: “love your neighbor as yourself”? Must we add to their physical burden by “blessing” them with ostracism from something we and they inherited from no fault of our own? Let us never forget that sin involves acts of commission or omission, not our physical package that serves as a vessel for our soul. New Bill Would Allow Boys to Play on Girls Teams, Share “Facilities” | Pacific Justice Institute. As a Christian I must equally applaud and critique if and when it is applicable.

Paper of Record: That 11-Year-Old in Texas Is Actually a Victim! The 11-year-old in Texas who was raped by a group of men was not, it turns out, asking for it, reports the paper of record, which was previously not really clear regarding the sixth- grader's ability to be considered a "proper" rape victim. (That is, when the paper wasn't overly concerned about the futures of the young men involved.) Yes, it's do-over time on the most outrageous story in the world, one that was so wildly mishandled that it prompted world-wide outcry and now… another, more thorough story—a story that is now about a "nightmarish ordeal." (You think?) It turns out the 11-year-old in question was a very [...]

Tuesday, 5 February 2008 Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea A film as important as Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea meant that it has always had a presence at Disney's theme parks, in one way or another. A walk-through museum of the film's sets was originally planned for the Opera House on Disneyland's Main Street U.S.A. before finding a home in Tomorrowland in 1956. Disneyland Paris stepped up the concept by floating a full-size Nautilus in Discoveryland's lagoon, allowing visitors to descend into it and examine Nemo's ship for themselves. Tokyo Disneysea took it even further and created the Mysterious Island: Nemo's volcanic base, with a full-sized Nautilus at dock and two rides based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Arguably the best of all, however, was Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea submarine voyage. When WDW opened in 1971, it imported Disneyland's 1959 classic Submarine Voyage. To provide some differentiation, this trip bene

Watch Anderson Cooper Take On Arizona Senator Who Backed Anti- Gay Bill Like you and everyone else who is sane, Anderson Cooper is done with all these dumb anti-gay "religious freedom" bills that are cropping up in a couple of states. Like, seriously fucking done with them. The shitty anti-gay bill in Arizona already has legislators who once supported it backtracking like crazy to escape its web of dumbfuckery. However, there's still more than a few who think this bill is a great idea. Like Arizona State Senator Al Melvin, who seemed to be trying to push forward a GOP talking point that bill wasn't all that bad (HAHAHAHA), see, it was just the media that made it seem really awful for explaining to the public how the bill would make it legal for businesses to refuse services to gay patrons. Melvin said the opposition from the public was because of the "media frenzy" around the bill. "You're seriously blaming the media on this?" Cooper said. "Oh, come on!" Exactly. Nice try, dude. No, the "media frenzy" is ju

Budgeting scandal Re: your Aug. 12 editorial, "State's duct- tape budgeting is the real scandal": While the editorial identifies a significant symptom, it fails to diagnose the core illness. The electorate has, first, for decades demanded revenue strategies at all levels that target "Anyone but me" to pay the bills, and, second, an ever-expanding list of indispensable recipients of government largess. One need look no further than California's ridiculously progressive revenue- bubble-generating income tax schedule, and the Great California Sacred Cow Proposition 13, to find the archetypes of this thinking regarding the former, while George Will's column the same day about the not-all-that-high-speed rail boondoggle makes a fine case for the latter. The improbable candidate gets my support that has the gall to say, "Quit whining, because you need to pay the bills you've already racked up, whatever else it is you want, you can't afford it, and stop looking for someone else to pay your bills." - Michael Gord

Email RSS Twitter Facebook YouTube The True Cost of a Dome Home Conflicting goals The initial cost of a Monolithic Dome is usually the same as a custom-built, conventional home of equal interior finish. If you planned on buying a $100,000 house, you will probably have to pay $100,000 for your dome home. However, the long-term, day-to-day costs of a Monolithic Dome will always be lower. And the true cost of owning a dome home is substantially less. There are two parties when a home is built: the contractor and the owner. The contractor’s primary goal when building the home is to make a profit. If it were otherwise, s/he could not stay in business. The home owner’s primary goal is to build the best home for the least amount of money. These two goals, profit and value, are at odds with each other. The profit a contractor wishes to make on a home is usually higher than the actual profit gained. And the owner’s expectations of a home are always much greater than his or her ability to buy one.

Wrapup: ACLU Works With Eagle Forum CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - An unlikely duo made for an effective lobbying team in the 2009 Nevada Legislature, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and the conservative Nevada Eagle Forum showing, once again, that politics makes for strange Throughout the session, the two groups teamed up on bills that addressed election laws, warrantless wiretapping, privacy issues and freedoms of speech. And after the session, lobbyists from both groups credited each other with helping advance their agendas. "I know we turned a lot of heads in the hallway, because we'd be sitting together in a cluster of chairs, and we had people walk by and almost break their necks," said Lynn Chapman, lobbyist for the Nevada Eagle Forum. "But we worked very well together, and I think it was advantageous because of all we accomplished.

The Honest Soul. You are a talkative, open kind of person. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you trust people not to break it. In a way, you are as honest and trusting as a child. You are comfortable with who you are and have a strong sense of self, but you are also a little sensitive. Hurtful remarks, especially from people whose opinion you value, have the power to wound you terribly. You tend to be open about your thoughts and opinions, and you find it difficult to hide your emotions from people. You like to share your thoughts, opinions, and emotions with people, and to hear theirs in return. When someone disagrees with you or offends you, you will take them up on it, whether they are friends or strangers. You don't mind a friendly debate, but become upset when things get hostile. You wish that people wouldn't take everything so personally, but simply think calmly about things. You have a close knit group of friends and family for whom you would sacrifice almost anything. You don't like big parti

the calculator home page What is Reverse Polish Notation? RPN calculator buttons When you are at school you learn that different arithmetic operators have different precedence, although that may not be the exact phrase the teacher uses. You are probably given a mnemonic such as "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" (meaning Parentheses, Exponentiation (roots and powers), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) to tell you the order in which to do sums. For example, if you are given: 1 + 2 x 3 = ? you know to multiply 2 by 3 before adding the 1. Early pocket calculators were not acquainted with Aunt Sally, and would evaluate this expression as 9. Another school- days mnemonic, BODMAS, tells us to attend to the bracketed expressions first, followed by the usual algebraic operator precedence. Brackets (or more properly parentheses) remove any ambiguity about the order of evaluation of expressions. Most complex expressions could not be expressed in conventional arithmetic notation without brackets, and

The Man Who Would Be Kings Wannabe 'Brooklyn Nets' Owner Ratner Already Is a Man for All Subsidies Say what you will about mega-developer Bruce Ratner; he's not afraid to wear a big hat. Last month, as part of his campaign to buy the New Jersey Nets and shift them to Brooklyn, Ratner hauled in a passel of NBA senior citizens—the press called them "stars," but that's a bit much to pin on the likes of Pearl Washington and Sidney Green—for a photo op at Junior's, where Ratner promptly slapped World B. Free's too-large fedora on his own balding pate and left it there while enthusing about the glories of bringing pro hoops to the Borough of Kings. For those who've followed Ratner's career as the self-anointed savior of Brooklyn, the only surprise might be that there's any hat too large for his noggin. Soft-spoken and nebbishy he may be, but this, after all, is the billionaire who dropped Metrotech on an unsuspecting populace, who boasted to New York magazine that he hoped to forge a "New Brooklyn" out of the dr

25 July 2011 List of events of which I have no comment And am thus thoroughly annoyed take up valuable news time 1) Amy Winehouse death. I barely knew who this person was. I don't even need facebook posts about her, much less news stories. Thanks. Comparisons to Hendrix or Cobain et al seem really premature and overdone (and totally unsurprising, drug addicts often die "early", so to speak. This should be news to no one.) 2) News of the World/Rupert Murdoch scandal. This is journalists covering other journalists for doing things that journalists (sadly) do and thus is a masturbatory tale rather than important news. I have no sympathy for Rupert and in particular his association with Faux. But unlike most of liberal societies, my criticism is of the PEOPLE who support by watching, not so much Faux itself, which is merely providing the service of telling such people what they want to hear (little different than their preachers or priests often do in a modern society with fluid religious associations).

In many ways Footnotes is difficult to read, there seems to be a relentless documentation of violence. Was that deliberate? Are you trying to say that the days of ‘stories’ about Palestine are over and that the only way one can talk of that struggle is by remembering and recounting Israel’s role in violence? A: Footnotes is a different sort of story, an investigation of two specific incidents that took place in the Gaza Strip during the Suez Crisis when large numbers of Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli forces. In that regard, I decided to tell the story from multiple perspectives to show that many people witnessed and experienced essentially the same thing. Ultimately, I was writing about massacres, and I had to present as much evidence as possible.  To make this a "personality driven" book - i

Edition: U.S. / Global AUTO RACING; As Racer, Mears Reaches End of the Road Published: December 14, 1992 When Rick Mears won his fourth Indianapolis 500, in 1991, tying him with A. J. Foyt and Al Unser Sr. for the most victories in the event, the only question at the time seemed to be when he would break the tie and officially establish himself as the greatest driver in the nation's greatest race. Last Thursday, at a Christmas party at his team's headquarters in Reading, Pa., Mears answered that question: most likely never. Mears surprised Indy-car racing when he used the party at Penske Racing's shops to announce his retirement. He had turned 41 earlier this month, relatively young by racing standards, and his long alliance with Penske's always-powerful team combined with his age seemed to assure that he would eventually break the Indy victory record. Not Fully Recovered But Mears still had some recovery left from an injured right wrist suffered in a crash during practice for this year's Indy 500. That

Swamped by the 50,000 or more objects he's collected since childhood, the 49-year-old acquisitor recently bought a storage company here, relocated his new employees, and moved his own stuff in. The Spanish Revival warehouse in the middle of the Art Deco district is scheduled to open in 1992 as the Museum of Decorative and Propaganda Arts, an exhibition and research center for his vast holdings. ''I don't write and I don't paint,'' said Mr. Wolfson, heir to an entertainment-industry fortune and known to everyone as Mickey. ''Collecting is how I express myself.'' That he expresses himself in the grand manner of William Randolph Hearst and J. P. Morgan, with a little of Andy Warhol thrown in, has not escaped notice in Miami, a city that dotes on extravagance.

The night life: Why we need bats all the time Nov 01, 2012 Many species of bats in a cave in Trinidad.

Because, contrary to popular belief, do not attack people; bats do not tangle in people's hair; and even vampire bats are not true . ( lick blood but do not suck blood.) Important ecological roles of bats Bats, which live on all continents except Antarctica, are essential members of many types of ecosystems, ranging from rain forests to . By fulfilling their ecological roles, bats promote biodiversity and support the health of their ecosystems. Economic value of bats As bats fulfill their ecological roles, they provide many economically important services. For example, bats serve as essential for various types of commercially-valuable crops, including bananas, mangos and guavas. In addition, bats consume many crop-eating insects and thereby reduce far

Part of the Bay Area News Group the next big thing in transportation By enelson Friday, January 18th, 2008 at 6:42 pm in Freeways, fuel, Funding, Safety, tolls. As I sit here high above the Nimitz Freeway, members of my favorite Caltrans maintenance crew are busy patching a 1-by-1-foot hole in the highway’s bridge over High Street. How appropriate that I just got off the phone with Steve Heminger, who had just flown in from Washington, D.C. Heminger, who by day is executive director of the Bay Area’s very own Metropolitan Transportation Commission, was tapped in 2005 by Nancy Pelosi to serve on the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. That hole in the Nimitz is but one of many such holes in freeways around the nation, and the money to fix them — permanently — is dwindling to nothing. Heminger’s panel, chaired by U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, just finished hashing out how this nation might be able to fix such crumbling transportation infrastructure. Funny ho

Tom Hanks on the Piano in Big Twentieth Century Fox Classic movies can sometimes be uncomfortable to watch. Many things that were socially accepted during the Golden Age of Hollywood are not today, and vice versa. And representations and treatment of minorities of race, religion, sexual orientation and gender were often inauthentic — whether because of customary ignorance or concealment. But it’s not just the movies of our grandparents’ era that fit into this idea where we need to consider the times when appreciating cinema, whether it’s awful stereotypes in The Birth of a Nation or marital rape in Marnie or the general villainization of Native Americans for decades. We’re now far enough away from the 1980s that it’s time to reexamine just what we thought was okay and particularly what we found funny back then. Many of the plots of hit comedies from that decade would never fly today. Some of it is leftover political incorrectness and downright racism and sexism, but there have also been cultural and techno

Monday, January 11, 2010 Geneva Bible - Desire Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be e accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the f door. And unto thee [shall be] his g desire, and thou shalt rule over him. (f) Sin will still torment your conscience. I really like this note for the explanation of the phrase "unto thee shall be his desire." Some translations stumble at this verse and replace the translation for the Hebrew Masculine pronoun as "its" instead of "his." With the tendency to interpret the antecedent of the pronoun as "sin" instead of "Abel". Defining and translating what the word "desire" here means affects another significant passage, Gen 3:16. The Hebrew word for desire is teshûqâh, and appears only the the following three verses: Gen 3:16, Gen 4:7, and Song 7:10. If the antecedent to the personal pronoun in Gen 4:7 is sin and as the modern translators and commentators explain it, "Cain, if you don't do what's right, then, sin is close by and desires to devour you up."

Obviously those teams from '96 to 2001 spoiled a lot of people, but what was it, as you've had time to think about it, can you pinpoint what one or two things was it about those teams that enabled them to kind of glide through the playoffs and win such a high percentage of games in October? Joe Torre: You know, there's a lot of luck involved in those, too, if you go back and think of that '96 scenario. There wasn't a lot of gliding going on in the Division Series. We lost the first game, we were losing the second game, and God only knows what would have happened if we had to go to Texas down two. I think there are little things like that. Then you go to Baltimore and we have that help with the kid reaching over in the stands in right field and interfering with the ball; we win that game. Just things that happen that you certainly don't want to replay or go through. And our other clubs were good. But we had a different type of lineup. We had more of the type of lineup probably that the Angels have where guy

Article VIII. Hearsay Rule 801: Definitions. The following definitions apply under this article: (a) Statement - A "statement" is (1) an oral or written assertion or (2) nonverbal conduct of a person if it is intended by the person as an assertion. (b) Declarant - A "declarant" is a person who makes a statement. Advisory Commission Comments. This rule, generally defining hearsay, is the first of a series covering hearsay evidence. The next provision, Rule 802, states the general rule that hearsay evidence is inadmissible unless otherwise provided by law. Rules 803 and 804 describe hearsay exceptions. Rule 805 deals with multiple hearsay, and Rule 806 provides a general rule for impeaching hearsay declarants. Except for the definition of conduct as hearsay, Rule 801 restates Tennessee common law. Part (a) makes hearsay only such nonverbal conduct as the declarant actor intends as an assertion. The common law, stemming from Wright v. Tatham, 112 Eng. Rep. 488 (Exch.

Take the 2-minute tour × I think this question is famous, but I searched a lot in the internet with many keywords and unfortunately I did not find any related problem. I will appreciate any helpful answers and any guidance for similar questions and problems. Suppose the integers $n$ and $k$ are given and the set $S$ shows all possible factorization of the integer $n$ into $k$ factors. The factors of these factorization not necessarily primes and can be composite. Also, at most one factor can be the number $1$. For example, if $n=128$ and $k=3$, we have: $S=\lbrace 2\times4\times16, 4\times4\times8, 2\times 2\times32, 1\times2\times64, 1\times4\times32,1\times8\times16\rbrace$. For fixed numbers $n$ and $k$ (and also the set $S$), let $m\in S$ and $m=l_1\times l_2 \ldots\times l_k$. We define $S(m)=\sum_{i=1}^k{l_i}$. What can we say about the minimum of $S(m)$, where $m$ changes in the set $S$? Do we have any formula for finding this minimum respect to the $n$ and $k$? For the above example, the minimum

Options for Lighting Your House in an Emergency When the Power Goes Off  emergency preparedness Electricity is often one of the first services households lose in severe weather or a natural disaster. What are you planning to use to be able to see and what are the benefits/dangers of each option? Here is a closer look. Candles are fairly inexpensive and can be easily lit in an emergency. But if it gets knocked over, it can create an even bigger problem. The best advice is to not leave a candle, or any other open flame, burning without someone attending to it. Set them in a bowl of sand to reduce the dangers of hot wax. Flashlights come in many different shapes, sizes and brightness. It’s portable and is not a fire hazard. However, do you have enough batteries to outlast the need? Do you have the right size of batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, etc.)? Some flashlights are self generating, which means there is no need for a battery, and LED flashlights consume less electricity than your standard-bulb flashlight. Co

The difference between an idea and a suggestion Can we say that an idea pops up whenever we give a suggestion ? The question is more meaningful than it sounds. Corporations’ future is written with the ink of their ability to innovate. Any innovation, though, starts with an idea. To manage innovation begins by an ideas management. Open companies foster all employee’s ideas. However, “after the initial excitements and few hundreds od ‘ideas’, you start seeing ‘ideas’ that are not ideas, but according to people who are supposed to take the idea ahead (senior management), these are mere ‘suggestions’ “, says  Prakasan Kappoth, a knowlegde management expert working for MindTree, in Bangalore. The border between ideas and suggestion is not obvious to draw. For people in charge of sorting these creative propositions, that’s a challenge.  They don’t want to inhibit employees. What people can do, at least, is to educate their staff : yes,  there is a difference. They should become aware, after a while, whether they

Thanksgiving. You've got roast turkey, tart cranberries, savory stuffing and sweet potatoes; probably a green bean casserole, biscuits, carrots coated in dill and butter, and enough gravy to douse it all. Oh, and don't forget the pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and those sweet potatoes-baked-with-marshmallows thing (what is that called, anyway?). Now for the test: you're asked to bring a bottle of wine to dinner. No instructions given. Older folks—your girl's parents, maybe—will be judging you. What do you choose? There's so much to choose from, it's anyone's guess what the “best” pick is. Honestly, as long as you like what you're drinking and how it matches with what you're piling onto your fork, you're good. “Oh, just tell me what to get, already.” If you insist. Here are 10 Wines—some general, some very specific—to Bring to Thanksgiving Dinner that Won't Make You Look Stupid. Tags: wine, thanksgiving blog comments powered by Disqus

The Joydick Lets Players Play With Themselves To PlayS SF Media Labs' "Joydick" is probably what you think it is: not safe for work in every which way. It's also "a wearable haptic device for controlling video gameplay based on realtime male masturbation." Oh, science. What are we going to do with you? And by that, I mean what took you so long? As one can see from the NSFW(!) video demonstration of the Joydick in action, the device attaches to one's ring-finger and man parts (the "Linus"), allowing for four degrees of movement and rapid fire button presses via hand-strokes. It's all about transcendence, according to its creators. SF Media Labs' web site provides a list of the essential parts and programming required to make your own Joydick, should you be so inclined. Perhaps you can unseat our own Owen Good as the King of Stampede. Or perhaps there's just a Wii joke in here that you're dying to get out. The Joydick [SF Media Labs via Fleshbot]

noise reduction in a jet engine by nuub Tags: engine, noise, reduction nuub is offline Mar15-04, 02:26 PM P: 9 I am in the process of writing a report on the Physics of Jet engines and I have come accross a problem I cannot comprehend. In the exhaust of many jet engines they allow the atmospheric air to mix with the air from the engine to reduce exhaust noise. From what I understand this allows the gasses to mix faster, but why does this help reduce noise? So far I think it is to do with the increased speed of mixing means that the pressure wave built up if of a higher frequency and so perhaps it is outside our hearing range? This doesn't seem quite right. If anyone knows of how it actually works, or any other mechanisms that are employed to reduce noise please tell me.

Katy suffered some injuries. The dog is fine.  It's unclear how far along Katy is in her pregnancy, and there's no word if the accident had any impact on it.

Rewarding Preventive Care in South Carolina by | July 24, 2012 It's become something of a truism that the way we pay our health-care providers in America is all wrong. Rewarding quantity (fee-for-service payments) over quality (outcomes) helps the doctors' and hospitals' balance sheet, but it hurts nearly everyone else's. Changing that scenario has become the holy grail for many looking to reform our health-care system, including Tony Keck, director of South Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services. "We're spending a lot of time with providers trying to correct problems caused by the way we pay people," he says. "My elevator speech is all about aligning incentives to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care." And he hopes to achieve this by rewarding preventive care and cutting down on all the things that put the biggest financial burden on health care; that is, paying providers to keep people out of the emergency room, off expensive medications and away from the hospital once they leave it.

Drilling Safely in the Arctic Ocean Liptak Shows Why Full Automation Could Improve the Safety of Offshore Drilling in and Transportation from the Arctic Ocean By Bela Liptak Share Print Related RSS In previous articles, I wrote about the safety improvements automation could make to the nuclear industry and to oil/gas drilling by replacing their manual mode of operation. Here I am continuing that series by showing why full automation could improve the safety of offshore drilling in and transportation from the Arctic Ocean. In the next articles, I will continue this series by showing what automation can do for oil sand processing/pipelining. Here I will not discuss the environmental damage drilling in the Arctic can cause nor the risks to the crew due to ice and insufficient winterizing. I will only focus on what optimized process control could do to protect the ships from storms and hurricanes by automatically stabilizing them while drilling.

So you bring them in only to put them in another cage? No wonder they have no bond with you and would rather be outside. You can train dogs to stop marking. Where I live I would never leave pet food outside due to bears, racoons, and coyotes. These animals can and will eat small dogs. Racoons may not eat your dogs, but they can harm them. Why have dogs if you are just going to confine them all the time? Plus the breeds you have are not recommended as "yard dogs". They are small fragile companion animals bred as pets. Fritz, cats are- fun when they- run Barked: Wed Dec 12, '12 7:50pm PST  I think Milton has a point.

Laurels & Lost Opportunities Laurels & Lost Opportunities Akrita Reyar The awful thing about the greatest talents born is usually the terrible tragedy attached to them. Robert Schumann, one of the most gifted composers of all time, is no exception.Throughout his life, he was never overwhelmingly feted. His compositions today considered as one of most significant of the Romantic era, were only received with lukewarm fervour in his age. It is only 20th Century onwards, did interest really rekindle in his works and his compositions got their due recognition. This year, as a part of his bicentenary celebrations, European Broadcasting Union is observing the Schumann Day with performances, concerts and special programmes across the continent. Born on June 08, 1810 in Zwickau, Saxony in Germany, Robert was a child prodigy who started composing music at the age of seven. The literary culture at his home helped him develop an early love for poetry and literature. His father, who was a publisher and a book seller,

(Don't worry, no offense taken here, we gun nuts have to stick together). Now, with the formalities out of the way... I have to admit, I have a big beef with the 1911. For it's time, it was a brilliant, fantastic design, but now, nearly 100 years later, it leaves a lot to be desired. The worst problem with the 1911 is it's extractor design, which really handicaps the reliability. The thing has to work like a spring, yet be hard enough to extract thousands of rounds over and over again... in the end it always seems to be a problem. Now, like all things, I suppose infinite amounts of money can solve the problem, but it just seems like changing the design (as it was for the Hi-Power aka 1911 version 2.0) would be a better way to go. The feed-ramp barrel gap is another problem that seems to affect the reliability of the 1911, although this too can be fi

The Truth About the Trust Fund | Wed May 12, 2010 6:44 PM EDT Veronique de Rugy hauls out a familiar argument today: we can't rely on Social Security's trust fund to keep it healthy for the next few decades. In practice, [] the trust fund and interest payments it receives are simply accounting fiction. For years, the federal government has been borrowing the Social Security Trust Fund assets for its daily spending. The fund has nothing left in it except IOUs from the federal government. In fact, even the interest is paid in IOUs. Hence, the only way Social Security will not go into the red this year and in future years is if the federal government pays back Social Security. But since the money has long ago been consumed, it must borrow money from the public or raise taxes to pay its Social Security debts. It's true: from a purely fiscal point of view, the Social Security trust fund is a fiction. But while this is true as a bare fact, the implications of this argument are pernicious and need to be vigorou

However, if I indicate an even closer relationship by flagging Question A as a duplicate of Question B, no backlink is set up on question B: (see here, for an example Question A: What is a good free source control solution and here for the unlinked Question B: What is the best source control product for Visual Studio development? ). Now, there may be concerns relating to search engines following links to duplicates and that hightening visibility of the duplicates via search, so they should probably be rel=nofollow links, but it'd be much easier to decrease duplication if flagging as duplicate created a widening visibility of potential duplicates. share|improve this question add comment 1 Answer up vote 1 down vote accepted The linked section only applies to what is visibly linked on the question.

House votes to end oil drilling ban Feeling election-year heat, Democrats agree to let states permit exploration 50 to 100 miles off their coasts. September 17, 2008|Richard Simon | Times Staff Writer The measure would let states decide whether to permit energy exploration 50 to 100 miles off their coasts, ending a drilling ban that was put in place for much of the California coastline in 1981 and expanded to much of the rest of the United States in 1985. It would allow drilling 100 miles or more offshore regardless of a state's wishes. The bill drew a veto threat from the White House, which contended that it didn't go far enough to generate new domestic supplies of oil and natural gas and objected to a number of its other provisions, including the repeal of oil industry tax breaks that it said could discourage new exploration. Its prospects are uncertain in the Senate, which may begin debating energy legislation as early as Wednesday. The 236-189 House vote was, until recently, unthinkable. "Before us

It was a venture into strange territory for me on Monday evening, when I was writing my South Carolina-Ole Miss game preview. After years of writing similar stories and always finding a reason why a team was winning/losing, there wasn't an answer in a defensive set or an offensive strategy for that game. The Gamecocks had to make shots early. That was all. USC had dug itself massive holes in three of its past four games and never led in any of them. In the other two games during the five-game losing streak (both on the road), the Gamecocks played pretty well but didn't have the defensive stop or two that could have meant a victory. Throughout this season, the Gamecocks have never had an offense that could dominate the opponent. That's not how they've been constructed. Their best chance to score became the perimeter game, since they were very deficient

Block diagram From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The block diagram is typically used for a higher level, less detailed description aimed more at understanding the overall concepts and less at understanding the details of implementation. Contrast this with the schematic diagram and layout diagram used in the electrical engineering world, where the schematic diagram shows the details of each electrical component and the layout diagram shows the details of physical construction. Because block diagrams are a visual language for describing actions in a complex system, it is possible to formalize them into a specialized programmable logic controller (PLC) programming language. An example is the Function block diagram, one of five programming languages defined in part 3 of the IEC 61131 (see IEC 61131-3) standard. Since this is a real, bona fide computer programming language, it is highly formalized (see formal system) with strict rules for how diagrams are to be built. Directed

Expert offers fracking insights Your Letters By Your Letters on December 24, 2012 at 3:00 AM 1224cent.JPG AN OIL RIG is silhouetted at sunset near Fredrick, Colo. The natural gas drilling method known as hydrofracking has become a political controversy in a state long friendly to the oil and gas industry.   By Danny Clabeaux What do we in Central New York really know about hydrofracking? A short while back I spent some time in West Texas doing development work on oilfield equipment. My contact there turned out to have more than 30 years of hydro- fracking experience. Here’s some of what he had to say. There are thousands of hydrofracked gas wells across the country. If done diligently, fracking poses no threat to water tables or the environment. He showed how the well is encased in concrete. Later, he told me how fracking fluids should be properly disposed of so that they won’t harm the environment. Hydrofracking started to seem safer than I had thought. I believed what he said, as he really didn’t care

The Embrace of Strangers June 1, 2011 The Embrace of Strangers Mexico's most wanted journalist describes how Amnesty International saved her life. Mexican journalist and human rights defender Lydia Cacho has made powerful enemies in her fight to protect the rights of women and children. Cacho, the subject of several Amnesty International Urgent Action appeals, has focused her investigative reporting on gender violence in Mexico. Her 2005 book, The Demons of Eden, exposed elite business leaders involved in a child sex-trafficking ring with the complicity of government officials-and provoked retaliation by her enemies, including her kidnapping, torture, and arrest. She was released following an immediate international outcry, including a global Amnesty International Urgent Action, and later cleared of charges. She continues her investigative work while directing the crisis center and shelter she founded for victims of sex crimes and trafficking. As told to Jungwon Kim I remember one day [at the shelte

Elvis Costello on His Career and Advice to Young Musicians New England Conservatory, Boston, MA, October 25, 2013 On a Friday afternoon, Elvis Costello spoke to an appreciative audience in Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory. That morning, he had worked in the classroom with songwriting students. He was introduced by Hankus Netsky, chair of the Contemporary Improvisation department, and Tony Woodcock, president of the Conservatory. Both speakers lauded Costello’s outstanding abilities and body of work, borrowing some phrases from his lyrics, such as “his aim is true” and “excellence will happen.” To cap the introduction, they awarded Costello an honorary Doctor of Music degree. Costello appeared delighted at receiving the honor, and he kept around his neck the peach-colored ceremonial hood, slightly skewed to resemble a kerchief against his denim jacket and brimmed hat. The talk was in interview format, Costello sitting between Netsky and Boston Globe media critic Sarah Rodman, who delivered most of th

Increasing class sizes at Millersville Theodore R. Griffiths Opinion Editor If there is one thing that I have noticed since starting my last semester at Millersville University, it is that my class sizes have grown larger each year I have been here, which has accompanied a drop in useful information year over year since I have begun college. If someone was to ask me what I have learned in my five courses this semester, three of which are 400-level courses, I would say that I learned how to write a thesis and I realized that I hate Jack Kerouac and anyone who actually enjoys his incomprehensible nonsense that some call “literature.” Learning how to write my thesis was a one-on-one practice with my advisor, and it has proved to be the most rewarding thing I have learned since attending Millersville University. Learning that I hated Jack Kerouac was a result of 40-plus 20-somethings comparing his block of plotless text to “Into the Wild,” while living out their childish dreams of running away all over again in

The loss gives State their second straight win in the Mississippi Cup and their fourth in a row overall.   Ole Miss had won 26 straight in the series and 10 in a row in the Cup before State won the regular season meeting two years ago to begin the streak. Four of the matches went three sets, and unfortunately for the Rebels, three of them went to State, including the clincher at No. 4, when Bulldog freshman Jordan Angus topped Rebel junior Johan Backstrom 4-6, 6-1

The 1993 declaration was just that, a declaration, but the PLO never changed it's charter to remove the part that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. Furthermore, when Arafat inked the peace deal with Israel that called for the Palestinians to stop attacking Israel he then got on a plane and flew back to Gaza. He got off the plane and on the tarmac gave a speech calling for a new intifada and calling for more suicide bombers. Get real, Israel? Get real yourself.

Before I take your questions I just wanted to note that today the Department of Health and Human Services announced that 12.8 million Americans will benefit from $1.1 billion in rebates from insurance companies. These rebates will be delivered by August 1st. The rebates were made possible by the Affordable Care Act, which generally requires insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of consumers' premium dollars on health care, not advertising, bonuses, or overhead. If insurance companies do not meet that standard, they must provide rebates to their consumers. The rebates are just another example of how the Affordable Care Act is giving consumers a better value for their health care dollar and making our health care system strong

Rhapsody App for Rhapsody International, Inc. Rockabye Baby! The premise of Rockabye Baby! is utterly simple. Take songs that made parents happy in their youth, play them at lullaby tempo with no vocals, and voila: kids' music everybody can agree on. But in practice it's actually cooler and funnier than you'd think; for a sleep-deprived parent, there's a certain pleasing dissonance in listening to Guns N' Roses or AC/DC (albeit in altered form) as you put your baby to bed. The label has made quick work of classic and contemporary rock, transforming everything from Journey to Bjork, the Pixies and Green Day into lullaby material. Celebrities have eagerly adopted the CDs as necessary accessories, but don't let that stop you from checking them out. Rhapsody app on your desktop or mobile device.

blake + christina | engagement I love Blake + Christina’s love story and the fact that their engagement session was filled with lots of laughter. Blake + Christina first met back in 8th grade and became friends throughout high school as they competed in math competitions together and both eventually became class valedictorians. Christina assured me that it was ALWAYS friendly competition; their competitive nature continues today into the realms of board games and scrabble. After high school, they went their separate ways and did not reconnect until  their 3rd year of college when they started spending a lot of time studying together.  Blake asked Christina on their first official date the day before her birthday- the day that they shared their first kiss.  Since they had known each other for so long as friends, their relationship developed very easily. After the first few months, Christina realized that no other man could possibly treat her as well as Blake does and that she never wanted to live without him.

In a country wracked by overpopulation, a teetering economy is sustained by severely regulating the population.

Take the 2-minute tour × I want to know what kind of kippah would be worn by an "average" Jew in Manhattan in 1860. This is for an historical impression. In "real life," I am Conservative, but I know the movement did not exist yet. As far as I know, Reform Jews (brand new at the time) did not wear kippot. I'd prefer to wear one since I do in real life. So I guess my historical impression must be Orthodox, but not Hasidic. Can anyone point me in the right direction? share|improve this question slightly related: judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/17811/… –  Menachem Aug 8 '12 at 1:39 Jordan, welcome to Mi Yodeya!

words: Bryan Joslin Go ahead. Take one look at it and jump to the usual conclusion. Yeah, sure, it's a four-seat drop-top with the coveted blue-and-white roundels at each end, but don't assume it's only good for running between cheerleading practice and the mall. BMW's new 1-series convertible is a seriously good driver's car that looks even better in the metal than the coupe on which it's based. And Godammit, it's not a chick car! If BMW's newest convertible were merely a boulevard-cruising frontin' machine, surely its PR team would have flown the first pack of international journalists to the south of France to frolic on the beaches of Nice and simply take in the beauty of its latest sunchaser. Instead, BMW let us have a go on the challenging mountain roads-cum-sheep paths outside of Valencia, Spain. The weather was warm enough to enjoy top-down motoring, cool enough to feel justified in driving with the top up, and the scenery amply majestic for beauty shots. But the roads — oh, sweet Lord — the roads w

Michael Wilkinson hung a scrawny copper ribbon from the ceiling for his new show at Culver City's Blum & Poe gallery. Because it's next to an 8-foot column of felt and a daunting black block that looks like a war monument made of Legos (it is made of Legos), the copper seems like an accident. It's not. Nor is the black splotch on the left breast pocket of a linen shirt that hangs on the closest wall. The tag inside that shirt says "No History," and while Wilkinson's show overflows with historical references, most of them feel like deeply mysterious accidents posing as artifacts. 2754 S. La Cienega Blvd.; through July 7. (310) 836-2062,... More >>>

{THE PILL BOX } spacer powered by blogger I'm still trying to slog a way through the new Greil Marcus.* But it just strikes me that what was once pith, is now portenousness. What was once razor sharp is now waffle and camoflague and ... well, I once thought that British journo/author Gordon Burn couldnt be bettered (or 'worsted'?) when it came to the promiscuous and self-defeating quotation of Other Authors in a piece that was meant to showcase your own P.O.V. But here, taken at random, from the opening FIVE pages of Marcus essay "on" David Thomas/Pere Ubu/the entire footnoted inventory of every thought that's ever occured to Greil about the entire cultural history of everything that's ever happened in America ever, is a list of the 'sources' he namechecks or quotes (sometimes at wearying and obstructive length): Edmund Wilson Isiah and Jeremiah and Amos Norman Cohn's The Pursuit of The Millennium Nazism [and] Stalinism [and] the Caliphate Edmund Wilson [again] the wrath of God Tennessee Ernie Ford Sheik

RSS Feeds Grocery basket or cart? Which leads to more impulse buys? Thursday - 7/21/2011, 8:53am  ET grocery shopping With a cart you are less likely to buy junk food. (AP) UNDATED - If you've thought that grabbing a shopping basket at the grocery store would keep you from spending money, think again. A group of European professors found just the opposite. The basket hanging on your arm makes you less likely to make wise choices, the study found. Instead, you pick up instant gratification items, usually items that are light and easy to grab. You are not as likely to drop a watermelon in your basket or bag vegetables if you have a basket on your arm. Researchers found shoppers who push a shopping cart are six times less likely to make an impulse purchase at the cashier. The study is in the "Journal of Marketing Research." Follow WTOP on Twitter.
