Can you give me an idea why you think that it's a problem with Gem and Rails? Is there something you know that I don't? I just ask because that would help me in tracking down the issue.

Child's dad had no idea mom rarely returned to daycare - FOX 10 News |
Child's dad had no idea mom rarely returned to daycare
Posted: Updated:
Ryan Reed; Allison Clements Ryan Reed; Allison Clements
There are new developments surrounding a 3-year-old girl found beaten to death and covered in bruises. Wednesday, police arrested the girl's babysitters. Both are accused of felony child abuse.
Police say Ryan Reed beat the little girl, and Allison Clements never reported the abuse.
Police say the 3-year-old girl died after being stomped on.
It's hard to imagine the pain 3-year-old Savannah Cross had to endure every single day. Police say this little girl had "too many bruises to count" when she was rushed to the hospital Tuesday morning.
"Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would have to put my little girl in the ground."
Savannah's dad Stephen Cross talked to us from his home in Colorado. He wants justice.
Savannah's babysitter 27-year-old Ryan Reed is accused of beating her to death. Police say his significant other, 28-year-old Allison Clement, knew of the abuse and did nothing. According to court paperwork, Reed inadvertently stomped on Savannah's stomach. Hours later she stopped breathing.
"He inadvertently stomped on my child's chest? This... this... no, nobody should treat a child this way, nobody should beat a child," said Cross.
Cross also says he had no idea Savannah's mom would drop her off for weeks at a time without picking her up. Police say the last time she saw Savannah was on thanksgiving. Reed and Clement ran a day care out of their south Phoenix home and would advertise on Craigslist.
"You don't drop your kids at daycare and never come back except to pay them. What is that, paid abandonment? What is that?" said Cathy Cross, Savannah's grandmother.
Cathy Cross says if they had known Savannah wasn't going home with her mom every night, they would have gladly taken her in.
"She was such a sweet spirit and just a precious little girl."
Doctors say that Savannah was also going blind in her right eye. She would've turned 3 by the end of the month.
At this point, Savannah's mom is not facing any charges, but the investigation continues.

Philip Morris Reports Mixed Results - Analyst Blog
7/19/2012 5:06:00 PM
Referenced Stocks:EEMA;EU;MO;PM;RAI
Philip Morris International Inc. ( PM ) reported adjusted second quarter 2012 earnings per share of $1.36, surpassing the prior-year quarter earnings by 9.0%, excluding currency. The earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.34.
Earnings went up due to the favorable impact of lower shares outstanding and share-based payments. We also note that currency had a negative impact of 7.5% on earnings this quarter.
Revenue in Detail
During the quarter, Philip Morris' net revenue declined 1.8% from the prior year quarter to $8.1 billion, including an unfavorable currency impact of $402 million. Revenue was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Excluding currency translation, net revenue increased roughly 2.9% the prior-year quarter, mainly driven by pricing, which offset volume headwinds.
We note that the company faces difficult year-over-year comparisons in this quarter, as the prior-year quarter includes benefits from additional shipments to Japan following disruptions of its competitors' supply chains in the region.
During the quarter, net revenue in the European Union (EU) slipped 8.5% from the prior-year quarter to $2.3 billion.
Net revenue in the Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (EEMA) region stood at $2.2 billion, up 6.9% from the prior-year quarter. Asia recorded net revenue of $2.9 billion, down 2.8% from the prior-year quarter. The Latin American and Canada region reported a marginal increase to $829 million in the quarter.
Volumes in Detail
Cigarette shipment volume in the quarter went down by 1.2% from the prior-year quarter to 238.3 billion units due to volume decline in all major geographic regions.
In the European region, cigarette shipments declined 9.4%, driven by a lower market share, particularly in southern Europe.
Cigarette shipment volume in Asia declined 0.7% from the prior-year quarter to 83.6 billion units due to the lower total market share in Philippines and an unfavorable comparison due to the Japan Hurdle.
In Latin America and Canada cigarette shipment volumes declined 3.0% due to a lower market share in Mexico.
However, shipment volume in EEMA went up 5.1% on the back of a higher market share in Turkey and Russia.
During the quarter, shipments of the Marlboro brand of cigarettes went up by 0.8%, excluding the Japan Hurdle as a result of growth in the EEMA market -- particularly in North Africa, Saudi Arabia and Serbia. Shipments of L&M were down by 1.0% during the quarter, driven by the decline in EU particularly in Greece and Spain.
Parliament and Bond Street brands recorded volume growth of 7.1% and 6.1%, respectively, while Chesterfield and Lark brands and Philip Morris brand witnessed declines of 2.3%, 5.3% and 7.6%, respectively, in the quarter.
Philip Morris' quarterly gross profit edged up 0.5% to $5.5 billion from the prior-year quarter, while operating income slipped 2.9% y/y to $3.6 billion during the quarter.
Financial Analysis
Philip Morris exited the second quarter 2012 with cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 billion compared to $3.6 billion in the sequentially preceding quarter. Long-term debt stood at $14.8 billion in the second quarter compared to $14.3 billion in the previous quarter.
Share Buyback
During the second quarter, Philip Morris spent $1.5 billion to repurchase 17.8 million shares. In June 2012, the company announced a share buy back program of $18.0 billion that is scheduled to commence on August 1, 2012, as approved by its board of directors
Concurrent with the earnings release, the company maintains its guidance and expects 2012 full-year reported diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $5.10 to $5.20 compared with $4.85 in 2011. It expects currency to have an unfavorable effect of 27 cents per share, up by 2 cents previously announced. However, adjusted diluted earnings per share are projected to increase by approximately 10% to 12% over $4.88 in 2011.
The company's major competitors are Altria Group Inc. ( MO ) and Reynolds American Inc. ( RAI ). Currently, we have a Neutral recommendation on the stock. Further, Philip Morris holds the Zacks #4 Rank, which translates into a short-term Sell rating.

You've heard of sleepwalking. Some people even wander to the kitchen and sleep-eat. But have you ever turned on your computer and sent an email while unconscious? Scientists say it's entirely possible...
According to an upcoming article in the journal Sleep Medicine, one woman not only wrote messages in her sleep, but she actually got through two levels of password security in order to reach her email program. The patient had severe insomnia and was taking a prescription sleep aid. She decided to up her daily dosage to 15 milligrams, from the 10 milligrams prescribed by her doctor. And that's when her friends started getting odd email messages in the middle of the night.
The emails contained bizarre capitalization, punctuation and wording. "!HELP ME P-LEEEEESE" was the subject line of one message. Another message read: "come TOMORROW AND SORT THIS HELL HOLE Out!!!!!!"
Whoa. On second thought, maybe I'll keep my Blackberry across the room tonight, instead of sleeping next to it.
Earlier: Do you take sleeping pills?
Have you ever done something crazy in your sleep, like send emails? If you're taking a prescription sleep aid, have you noticed any weird behavior as a side effect? Are you ever afraid you'll text or email while asleep?

Warnings abound that SCOTUS campaign finance case will open floodgates on corporate dollars. Plus: Should Obama give up on health reform?
January 22, 2010
• Reacting to the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court case handed down Thursday, the New York Times charges that "with a single, disastrous 5-to-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has thrust politics back to the robber-baron era of the 19th century.... The court's conservative majority has paved the way for corporations to use their vast treasuries to overwhelm elections and intimidate elected officials into doing their bidding."
• "With other campaign finance challenges in the pipeline, and the high court so clearly disposed to deregulation, it may only be a matter of time before other election restrictions topple," warns Eliza Newlin Carney.
• The Washington Post maintains that the ruling "was dangerous because corporate money, never lacking in the American political process, may now overwhelm both the contributions of individuals and the faith they may harbor in their democracy."
• "All it will take is an implicit threat to a member of Congress, from say, a large bank that despises the idea of having to answer to a consumer financial regulatory commission: Vote for that and we'll spend $10 million against you this fall," USA Today fears. "There's no obvious way to undo the damage."
• The Chicago Tribune sees an "upshot" in the ruling and proclaims it's "not afraid of information. We trust voters to sift through political messages, consider the source, and vote their best judgment."
• "For decades conservatives have accused liberal Supreme Court majorities of judicial activism, by which I mean sweeping aside democratically adopted laws and deeply rooted societal traditions to impose their own policy preferences based on highly debatable interpretations of the Constitution's language and established meaning," writes Stuart Taylor Jr. "On Thursday, the five more conservative justices -- and in particular Chief Justice John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who went well beyond anything they've said before -- forfeited whatever high ground they once held in the judicial activism debate."
• "This far-reaching ruling augurs a significant power struggle," writes Michael Waldman, executive director of the Brennan Center for Justice, in the Washington Post. "For the first time since 1937, an increasingly conservative federal judiciary faces a progressive and activist Congress and president. Until now, it was unclear how the justices would accommodate the new political alignment. The Citizens United decision suggests an assertive court, eager to overturn precedent, looming as a challenge to President Obama's agenda."
• The Los Angeles Times supports the outcome of the decision but says that "with conservatives on one side and liberals on another" it will "inevitably" encourage "the impression that the court is just another political body."
• "A substantial number of Haitians must be allowed to move to richer countries -- including ours," argues former Bush administration national security adviser Elliott Abrams in the Washington Post.
Michael Gerson outlines three options for Obama to react to Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts: "He can try to ignore the anger, embrace the anger or blunt the anger."
• "After the last attempt" to pass health reform "crashed in 1994, it was 15 years before Congress was willing to try again," recalls Jonathan Rauch, while arguing in favor of the House passing the Senate's bill. "If the current effort fails, the next chance for comprehensive reform might not arrive for years."
• "The majority party had thought it was just a conference committee agreement away from finally enacting near universal healthcare," remarks Scot Lehigh. But Obama's interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos signaled that, with "Brown's stunning victory, the party will have to adjust."
• If Obama "has decided to give up on health-care reform, he should just come out and say so. Then we could all get on with our lives -- those of us with health insurance, that is," implores Eugene Robinson.
David Brooks remembers a report that counseled "the new administration" to "move cautiously to rebuild trust before beginning a transformational agenda." Brooks says that "the Obama administration interpreted the political climate in an entirely different way."
• "Unabashedly feckless, the Republican Party aims to rise from the Congressional minority by brandishing a political agenda of just saying no," complains the New York Times.
• "Much of Washington assumes, probably correctly, that Democrats are now condemned to gridlock," writes Ronald Brownstein. "Obama's larger difficulty is that he's pushing so much change at a time when filibuster threats are so common that it requires 60 Senate votes to pass almost everything -- and the minority party won't provide the president votes on almost anything. We are operating in what amounts to a parliamentary system without majority rule, a formula for futility."

Is a Christmas Federal Holiday Constitutional? - COTW #21
The federal government officially recognizes December 25, along with nine other days, as a holiday. Federal statute provides: "The following are legal public holidays . . . Christmas Day, December 25." 5 U.S.C.A. § 6103. Is the government's recognition of a religious holiday, namely Christmas, Constitutional?
According to Ganulin v. U.S., 71 F. Supp. 2d 824 (S.D. Ohio 1999)(affirmed by the 6th Circuit) it is Constitutional. And, since we're closing in on Christmas, Ganulin is the perfect Case of the Week. I provided a brief summary of the case in last year's entry: Christmas and the Constitution. Recently, a reader offered some colorful commentary (see comments on the linked post) to which I will respond in this post.
He asserts: "Yet the fed govt named it 'christ'mas day. So, maybe the problem is . . . that they used one particular culture's cult figurehead to name it after!"
The Government Didn't "Name it" Christmas
Yes, I see the point that the statute includes the word "Christmas" and that the word has a clear religious connotation (aka "Christ"). But, as the Christmas Wikipedia entry notes, the date of December 25 may have been selected as early as the 4th Century (more than a millennium before the U.S. government existed)! And it was certainly called "Christmas" before the federal statute.
If the government were to take a random day and call it "Christ Day" then this argument would be more compelling. But the date and name simply didn't originate with the government. Admittedly, the statute does still acknowledge "Christmas" but that is in line with the Court's rationale, which I explain below.
"The Calendar of Public Activities"
If you read the Court's opinion it offers secular purposes for the holiday such as "accommodat[ing] the calendar of public activities" and "recognizing the cultural significance of the holiday." In short, the "public calendar" had a holiday before the government passed the statute, and that holiday was "Christmas."
As the Court notes, the days of the week are named for religious reasons. For example, "Thursday" comes from the Norse god Thor. I certainly don't take the statute's recognition of Thanksgiving as "the fourth Thursday in November" as an establishment of Norse polytheism. It just recognizes that the public calendar marks it as such.
There is No Mandate
Ultimately, the Christmas holiday doesn't require any religious activity or acceptance of any religion. At one point, the commenter asserts "I'm not trying to take away christmas [but] it shouldn't be rammed down our collective throats by federal mandate." But, the federal government doesn't "mandate" that you do anything. Literally, nothing. It's one of ten weekdays throughout the year on which federal employees generally don't have to come into work. The "Christmas" holiday doesn't require you to practice Christianity any more than Labor Day forces you to join a union.
While I certainly understand the concern over government mandates regarding religious holidays, I'm just not convinced that Ganulin got it wrong. I'm open-minded though, so if you have counter-arguments to the Court's position, please drop a comment.
Update (12/22/2010): Jewish author Jamie Katz has an interesting article along the lines of the "public calendar" theory in the Chicago Tribune: Yes, Virginia - You Can Say 'Merry Christmas'

REGION Groups oppose bear killings
sSome Trumbull County sportsmen think the killing of two black bears recently could have been avoided.
YOUNGSTOWN -- The killing of two black bears since the end of June by Ohio Division of Wildlife officers is drawing a strong reaction from sportsmen in Trumbull County.
Bob Hill is a Cortland Conservation League board member, Trumbull County Federation of Sportsmen member and a state-certified hunter education instructor. He said one of the main things wrong with the situation that led to the bears' deaths is that they were trapped and then released in the Grand River area in northern Trumbull County.
He questioned if the location where the bears were released was appropriate.
"It was not a good idea to relocate the bears to an area of Ohio not suitable for them," Hill said, citing the proximity to major urban and residential centers. "Sportsmen [in Trumbull County] are not in favor of killing bears arbitrarily," Hill said.
"We are sending the wrong message," he said. "Shooting a bear in the head is not the answer. Let the sportsmen have a say in the matter."
The Grand River area is good for wild turkeys and otters, Hill said, referring to reintroduction programs for these two animals handled by the division in recent years.
"But it is not a habitat for black bears. We will take a stand as sportsmen. We have a problem with killing bears. It's just the wrong approach," he said.
Policy change: Hill said he is putting together a petition to circulate at the Trumbull County Fair about the situation. "I guess what we are tying to do is to change the policy of the division on killing bears," he said, adding that he has also written Division of Wildlife Chief Michael J. Budzik.
"I told him I will make someone accountable for the deaths of the bears," Hill said.
Hill said he would invite Jeff Herrick, director of the division's District 3 office in Akron, to the next federation meeting. Herrick was unavailable for comment.
Denny Molloy, a former Division of Wildlife officer and a member and organizer of several Trumbull County sportsmen groups, said the Shenango Wildlife Area or less populated areas of Ohio farther south might have been a better bet for the relocations.
"Part of what I see as wrong is where they placed the bears," he said. "They had a slim chance of getting out and making it. There are better habitat areas."
Dan Kramer, wildlife management supervisor for the division's northeastern Ohio area, said the division has no set policy on where a bear is relocated.
The policy stipulates, he said, that if a bear gets into a situation where it cannot escape, or is an immediate threat to public safety, then it can be drugged and relocated. Kramer said the policy also stipulates that, unless otherwise directed by the division chief, the bear can be moved twice before being destroyed.
Both times in recent weeks, the bears were moved only once. "Both of these situations came about quickly as to the need to act the second time around," Kramer said.
He added that there was no time to act differently. "If the bears had set up a pattern over time, it would have been different," he said.
Of the bear that was shot, Kramer said it was the wildlife officer's call. The other bear was put to sleep with drugs, he explained.
He added that a discussion was held at the district office in Akron as to where to relocate the bears and that the Grand River area -- which includes the 7,000-acre Grand River Wildlife Area -- was deemed best. The Shenango Wildlife Area was mentioned but discarded as sending the wrong signal to a neighboring state, Kramer said.
"It would be like we were kicking the bear in the butt and sending it back to Pennsylvania," he said. That state already has a sizable bear population.
No help: Another reason for not taking the bears farther south to less populated areas, Kramer said, is that the division does not want to help black bears populate Ohio.
"We are not trying to deliberately increase or decrease the bear population," he said. "And we don't want to add to bears already in that area."
Helping the division make the relocation decision is the fact that "the Grand River valley area all along Trumbull and Ashtabula counties is pretty vast," Kramer said.
"We did not expect the bears to stay put," Kramer continued. "A bear will look for something familiar and he will move until he finds it. Animals are animals -- they will do what they want to do."

Reno Police are investigating a stabbing that happened in Downtown Reno Sunday night.
The stabbing happened at the Town House Motor Lodge on West Second Street right before 10 p.m. Police say a man was stabbed twice; once in the chest, and again in the spine.
The victim is currently in serious condition. Police say they're looking for a male suspect, but no suspect description is available yet.
Police believe the victim and the suspect know each other.
To report information, call Secret Witness at 322-4900 or text your tip to 847-411.

As a former student of Mr. Poss, it’s refreshing to remember that there are actually a few understated professors of architecture who are as good as teachers as they are as professional architects. Great to see his work reaching a wider audience.

Looks like it is in a flood plane as well. Suspect that the use of pilons rather than foundation helped the case by keeping the footprint very small, as well as lifting the structure above the flood plane. The structure does not divert water or prevent natural flow. Bridges are constructed across wetlands using this method frequently, and many nature boardwalks around wetlands use the same approach. Suspect there is no plumbing, so no waste water issues. Can you tell?

I can’t help but wonder how he got a Clean Water Act § 404 permit to build that right in the middle of a sensitive wetland.

The Mystery of “Quantum Resonance Spectroscopy”
By Neuroskeptic | April 20, 2014 5:03 am
Can quantum physics help to diagnose schizophrenia and depression?
A paper just published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease claims that a technique called ‘quantum resonance spectroscopy’ (QRS) can accurately diagnose various mental health problems. But is it quantum wizardry or magic quackery?
According to the authors of the new paper, Zhang et al from Xi’an in China, QRS was able to measure symptoms like anxiety, irritability, depression, and psychosis. In a large sample of patients, the accuracy was high: compared to psychiatrist’s ratings of the patients symptoms, QRS agreed with kappa correlation values of over 0.65.
That’s an impressive performance, given that two psychiatrists rarely agree about a patient’s diagnosis as well as that.
So what is QRS? Well, I didn’t know anything about it before I read this paper… and I still don’t. The paper provides few details. About the only thing it gives us is a picture of a QRS machine:
So that’s what it looks like, but what does it do? Zhang et al introduce the method thus:
The human body is an aggregate of cells, which continuously grow, split, regenerate, and die. In the process of cellular split-up and renewal, the charged bodies of nucleus and extranuclear electrons as the basis unit of a cell are moving and changing ceaselessly at a high speed as well, emitting electromagnetic waves… different signals of electromagnetic waves will be emitted by the conditions of goodhealth, subhealth, diseases, and others…
So electromagnetic waves emitted by cells are involved, but nowhere is it explained how the QRS machine detects these electromagnetic waves; what frequency these waves are; how sensitive the detector is; how it was calibrated; how the waves of interest are distinguished from background noise; how the signal is processed to give a final result; etc. Here is all of the text from the Methods section dealing with QRS:
For this study, we explored and developed a biological wave sensing device, a QRS (TJQ-D; Chongqing, People’s Republic of China; Fig. 1), in psychiatric examination. It comprised a biological wave detection unit, a biological operation control unit, a power, and a follower, wherein a contact of the biological operation control unit is connected to an input end of the follower, and the other contact is connected to a cathode of the power.
The biological wave detection unit is made of conductors and connected to the cathode of the power or the input end of the follower. This system automatically recorded the special biological wave and could effectively transform message into electrical signals, which can be dealt by computers, to get resonance score.
The subject sat on a chair and was freely holding the sensor in his/her hand. The special biological wave of the subject was collected and transformed electrical signals compared with computer control data. Then, the resonance score was obtained by computer (Fig. 1). Measurement and analysis released by the brain were obtained through the size of the vibration frequency (weak magnetic field fluctuations in energy) to determine whether there are psychiatric symptoms.
Scores of -6 or less were considered as normal; -7, mildly abnormal; -8, moderately abnormal; and -9 or greater, severely abnormal; size of the vibration frequency was compared with equipment standards set by the magnetic field to distinguish between normal and abnormal on affective disorders.
The paper simply doesn’t tell us how the data were obtained. We know only that – the patients held some kind of electromagnetic sensor in their hand, and that the signal was processed somehow to give a score from -6 to -9. That’s not science.
To find out more about QRS, I did some background reading. In 2012, following the Fukushima disaster, the Wall Street Journal reported that a Japanese company claimed that QRS could detect radiation, a claim denounced as quackery. The founder of this company reportedly said that the idea behind QRS goes back over 100 years, to Albert Abrams.
If true, this is quite an admission. Abrams was an American ‘inventor’ who claimed to be able to diagnose almost any disease using radio waves. His devices sold well, but he was discredited after he was sent a blood sample from a healthy rooster and diagnosed it with syphilis and cancer. I don’t think Abrams used the word “quantum”, though. Perhaps that reflects a modern rebranding.
I also found this page discussing the potential of QRS to allow the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. We’re told that QRS has been used to detect the electromagnetic signature of yin, yang and the various meridians (pathways of qi, life energy).
So QRS is a mystery – but there’s an even bigger one: how did this article get published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease? This is a respected psychiatry journal with a long history. The JNMD‘s author instructions are clear that articles ought to include sufficient methodological details:
Methods: A precise description of subjects, procedures, apparatus, and methods of data analysis, all sufficiently detailed to allow other competent researchers to evaluate or replicate the study.
Can anyone claim that this paper meets that standard? The peer reviewers and the editor seem to have thought so, but how can they say that with a straight face?
Do any readers have any idea what the story here might be?
ResearchBlogging.orgZhang Y, Liu F, Shi J, Yue X, Zhang H, Du X, Sun L, & Yuan J (2014). Exploratory quantum resonance spectrometer as a discriminator for psychiatric affective disorders. The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 202 (4), 287-91 PMID: 24647211
• Thom Baguley
This looks scary … and there is a similar article – a published abstract – in European Psychiatry.
• Neuroskeptic
Indeed. The abstract, however, is not especially bad by itself, because abstracts by their nature tend to omit methodological details.
It’s the total lack of them in the full-length paper that’s so scary.
• Rolf Degen
The editors who let slip this through should be carefully examined with that quantum resonance spectroscopy machine. This is embarrassing.
• templeruins
You’re right – it sounds very similar to acupuncture. Which also seems to work and test well, but you’d maybe say that method ‘isn’t science’ either. Doesn’t mean it can’t get results above placebo.
I’m guessing here there’s lots of money involved so they don’t want to give away frequencies measured etc because that would give the game away, open the market up to others to replicate their machine quite easily.
• facefault
>it sounds very similar to acupuncture.
No one on this page said it sounded similar to acupuncture, and it doesn’t.
That’s what patent laws are for.
• Thom Baguley
It is nevertheless inexcusable to publish a paper in a scholarly journal that doesn’t explain the method at a level of detail that permits a reasonable level of review.
If you want to reap the benefits of publication you need to have a degree of openness that goes with publication in the literature.
This is why genuinely secret stuff doesn’t get published*, other stuff gets published after the patents are pending/awarded and so forth.
* Take a look at public key encryption as an example (British researchers at GCHQ got there first but didn’t publish because of National security issues).
• facefault
Oh, it’s absolutely inexcusable. And in this case, they clearly did it because their method is a scam, rather than to hide trade secrets.
• practiCalfMRI
Please let me know when they get their Kickstarter campaign off the ground so I can send them some money. I made out like a bandit with a cold fusion device a while back.
• drwhatson
Quick Google image search on the image shows it to be manufactured in China by the and translation of their product line shows it to be all pseudo-science devices (including the infamous magnetic water filter/softer, but all driven by QRS.
There’s a remote terminal for the QRS which has anti-static wrist straps are probes which can “carry out a full range of cancer and other chronic health screening
services, providing expert consultation, expert advice (including
psychological counseling), medical treatment guidelines, Medication
Guide, diet guide, sub-health care guide”
It all smells like the Iraq fake bomb detectors with the telescopic aerials and plastic cards.
• Neuroskeptic
Good find with the Google image search!
• drwhatson
My original thought was that it was some other sort of kit that was being passed off as this Quantum Resonance Spectrometer and the image search would find it. I was surprised when it came up with as QRS. Even more surprised when I read the copy.
• Bernard Carroll
This special issue of JNMD was apparently coordinated by Robert M.A. Hirschfeld, M.D. Why are we not surprised?
• Neuroskeptic
Heh. Are you referring to the fact that Hirschfeld created the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ)…?
• Bernard Carroll
Let’s just say nobody would say he’s the sharpest tack in the box.
• Stuart Ritchie
This isn’t the first time this particular journal has published a shockingly bad paper. Recent standards seem to be pretty low.
• Neuroskeptic
Oh wow, I forgot that was in the JNMD. Maybe we should write another Letter to the Editor? I was thinking about writing one myself but it would have more weight coming from multiple people.
• Stuart Ritchie
Sure, happy to help!
• Neuroskeptic
Nice – I’ll draft a statement. If anyone else wants to put their name to this, just let me know.
• Thom Baguley
Happy to …
• Neuroskeptic
Great! Drop me an email: neuroskeptic at google mail
• Sciencegrrl Jones
“The paper simply doesn’t tell us how the data were obtained” is all I need to hear.
• unity_ministry
Okay, so in the picture I can see a fancy moulded plastic laptop trolley, a laptop and a Hewlett Packard printer, which together would make this a “machine that goes ping.”
Otherwise, everything else described looks very much like quantum flapdoodle.
On that basis, it’s obviously a walletectomy system.
• Armin Ariamajd
i agree that the article itself is too badly written to be published in a science journal, but maybe that’s only because it’s a very recent and in-progress invention based on our just-recently forming new understanding of the whole universe based on quantum mechanics!
You did some background reading and have traced the idea to 100 years ago, but what astonishes me is how you missed a simple Google search, to see dozens of scholarly articles mentioning the subject, and to find out that it is actually called Quantum Orbital Resonance Spectroscopy, and not even it is not magic quackery as you’ve too quickly concluded, but actually it is one of the big projects of DARPA!
• Neuroskeptic
No, I’ll take it from here, thanks!
Of course I did see that page on QORS. I didn’t mention it because I do not think it is the same technology.
It’s hard to tell because there is very little information about QORS – there are not “dozens of scholarly articles” about it. On Google Scholar there are two that mention it, and they only do so in passing (
However from what I can tell, QORS is a project to develop a form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without the need for a superconducting magnet (see page 41).
In 2011 DARPA said that they were hoping to “obtain hydrogen and carbon-13 spectra from biologically relevant liquid sample” using QORS. Given that a conventional MRI scanner can already obtain those spectra (it’s called MR spectroscopy, MRS, and is some 20 years old), this is consistent with QORS being a variant of MRI.
Yet QORS cannot be the same technology as “Quantum Resonance Spectrometry” because there are papers on the latter’s use in diagnosing cancer from 2006: and earlier. So unless DARPA are five years behind the times, they are talking about a different technology.
Further, the spectra obtained by MRS (and thus QORS) reflect the resonance of protons in the nucleus of atoms. This is not how Zhang et al describe their technique. They say that:
This is not a description of the basis of the MR signal, which comes from the protons in the nucleus only, not the electrons, and is not emitted ‘ceaselessly’ but only in response to an input pulse from the MR scanner. And it is nothing to do with the fact that the protons are ‘moving or changing’:
Finally, even assuming that you’re right and that QRS is in fact QORS, that would mean that QRS is MRS. The data from MRS are – as the name suggests – spectra reflecting the concentration of various molecules in the sample. Molecules like water, creatine, choline, glucose. Yet Zhang et al report that their QRS machine gave them a value reflecting a symptom. Their lack of any description as to how they analyzed the data to do this, even granting that they were using a bona fide technology, is amazing.
In summary, hard as it may be to believe, this paper really is as bad as I said.
• waltinseattle
damn, my brain trying to figure out a suitcase fMRI system, and now you tell me its coming….but DARPA owns it!! curses! think they would fund me to study violent criminals with it? develope a “predictive” profile? they already have that “agnostic” ptogram to see how mind happens, i presume that “agnostic” meant a pseudo-random drunk beyes walk about….
• practiCalfMRI
I can’t find much on QORS beyond the apparent fact that DARPA put $250K into a group at Caltech a couple of years back. I agree that QORS sounds very different to the QRS of the paper, but both of these methods seem to be of the smoke and mirrors variety. If anyone can find any actual physical descriptions of the supposed mechanisms I would be interested to see them.
• waltinseattle
and inside that desk…the supercomputer? if i could do that, id crunch that thought and capitalize on it ,asap!

I must say that I agree with the fact that this article is not suitable to be posted in a scholarly article as I’m a first year student and find myself asking a lot of questions which this article does not answer. Read the article as I was keen on finding new ways of diagnosing psychological disorders.
Does anyone know of any other innovations that have actually worked and helped to improve the diagnosis of psychological disorders?

• Bronwen Edwards
After reading up on the Quantum Orbital Resonance Spectroscopy (QORS), the treatment or rather diagnostics that this technology supposedly offers seems very plausible, especially in this day and age. The neurodiagnostics offered are also apparently less harmful than MRI’s because of the large magnet being removed, and radio waves being used instead. As Neuroskeptic said, it is possible that it might not be the same technology as QRS, but I do believe it is definitely in the same genre. However, on the question this article poses, I cannot understand why that article would have been accepted by such a profound journal, when methodology incorporates the reasoning behind science as a whole – for instance, how would you know that bread can be carbonized by heat without knowing that you should toast the bread to get those results in the first place? In other words, results mean nothing without a method and therefore I highly question the truth in this paper as a whole. Somewhere along the line, Science was lost.
• practiCalfMRI
Could you post links to references on QORS? I can’t find any.
Re. making anything less harmful than MRI, MRI uses radio waves. There are few safer regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that will also pass through the skin/blood/skull and allow one to make an image from the tissues beneath. The amount of interaction is relatively small, but just sufficient to permit radiological scanning. Any technology that claims to offer greater or deeper or more specific information than MRI has to pass some rather stringent safety criteria that can be easily understood in terms of the frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum being used. Put simply, if the frequency is higher than typically used in MRI then the chances are very high the method is less safe – more heating, possibly ionizing – than MRI.
• Bronwen Edwards 14185378 this is the link. It’s not much, but it provides a small overview. That is very interesting, I would have never thought about it in that way, but now that you mention the electromagnetic spectrum it really does make a lot more sense,and gives me more insight on the matter. Perhaps I should then research the respective frequencies of the two to see if the claim of it being safer is true.
• practiCalfMRI
Right, I found that page but it doesn’t contain anything I can interpret. I could guess, though, that if they are using electrons – the orbital part – then the frequencies (hence energy deposition) will be quite high. There is also the related problem of depth penetration which is non-trivial, especially for a brain encased in a skull.
So far, I have seen only one reasonable demonstration of a combined electron-MR method, from Matt Rosen’s group:
They use a very low field MRI – millitesla – at which field strength the electron resonance is in the MHz range, comparable to a typical MRI frequency. They use polarization transfer from a free radical (the electron) to nuclear spin. It’s an intriguing approach, with just one practical hurdle that I can see right now: it’s hard (and/or dangerous) to generate a high concentration of free radicals in a biological system. They hope to detect the intrinsic radicals generated during injury (NO radicals). Maybe, maybe not. The sensitivity will be very low. But at least the physics is genuine, no smoke and mirrors!

Will Fairy Houses Fuel Next Bernal Heights Real Estate Boom?
Neighbor Tony spotted a rather attractive new subdivision nestled under a tree here in Bernal:
This morning, I spotted a nice house for a fairy family and maybe an elder fairy parent on Bernal Hill next the road that goes to the antenna complex.
If you look closely one can see the orange fairy dust at the entrances of the two of three houses, which of course means that the units are currently occupied. But if one calls Fairy House Realty, I think they could arrange a showing.
It seems this fairy family is taking advantage of the soaring real estate values in Bernal, and I say: Good for them!
PHOTOS: Neighbor Tony. Thanks also to Neighbor Charlie for the tip about this as well.

7 Responses to Will Fairy Houses Fuel Next Bernal Heights Real Estate Boom?
1. The Fairy Housing market is set to blow up! As an expert in Fairy House Real Estate, I can confirm that Bernal Heights, being one the higher points in the city, is the ideal location between the Astral plane and the daily grind of creating mischief and wonder in the city.
2. Judge Crater says:
Who’s the agent for this property?
3. hill-dweller says:
The wealthy fairies who bought that place last time used an FMI eviction to kick out the local community fairies who had charmed the hill since elven times – apparently it was cheaper than using traditional magic in this red hot fairy house market.
4. Mark says:
5. Pray tell, where do theses fairy houses hide? We are expecting some wee folk from Ireland and our house is already full of mischief makers.
6. Mike says:
It was two units on one lot, which they bought as a FIC. Amazingly, they won the condo conversion lottery, despite the fact that it was recently suspended for ten years.
7. Heiner, a fairy from Germany that emigrated to Indonesia. says:
I would like to do a house swap. I have a beautiful house in Bali and there is lots of magic and spirits here that would love to meet some folks from the States.

Election MAY 03 1999
Coming from the director of Citizen Ruth, I was expecting good things from Election and wasn't disappointed. It wasn't the best movie I've seen all year, but it was entertaining and surprising in parts.

Gordon’s Scottish Snowstorm
Whoever says Scottish politics is dull might want to take a look at last week’s unravelling saga around Labour controlled Glasgow City Council. Who would have thought when Gordon sat next to him on the Thursday before last that within a week one of Scotland’s up and coming politicians would have attempted suicide, that a police investigation would link the same man, Glasgow’s most senior politician, to major organised drug criminals and an 18-year-old Labour activist would be end up dead outside the city’s Council Chambers. As ever Gordon is pulling a Macavity on this one.
Steven Purcell was talked about as the saviour of the Scottish Labour Party, its brightest young star, he was tipped as a future First Minister. However if Purcell ever wanted a return to front-line politics, he certainly handled his spectacular fall from grace, spectacularly badly. No crisis manager could stop the drip, drip, drip of information concerning his party-boy lifestyle, snorting and drinking until the wee hours yet serving the city of Glasgow to a surprisingly competent degree. Yet he was in with the wrong crowd and in May last year some of Scotland’s top coppers visited Purcell in his council offices as his name had repeatedly cropped up in investigations. There was reason to believe that someone was attempting to blackmail Purcell with mobile phone footage of him.
Fast forward to last week and as Gordon was leaving Glasgow, Purcell was going into meltdown. Vodafone blocked his number after he abused call centre staff and he was found in tears talking nonsense at his desk. He ended up in the Castle Craig rehab centre. Although Purcell was earning fifty grand as council leader, you must wonder how much of this went up his nose and therefore who was paying for the rehab stay and for retaining of lawyers and crisis managers? Either way Purcell went missing from the rehab centre on Sunday night. Some have suggested he attempted to kill himself in open water as he was found soaked.
By now the story had started to emerge in the press and by Monday the internet was rife with rumours about Purcell stepping down because of cocaine rather than the “stress” cited in the official statement. We now know that Council staff wanted to blow the whistle but were stopped by Purcell’s mysteriously funded lawyers. As the week progressed the story unravelled more, Purcell’s vain attempts at crisis management were no match for overwhelming evidence. The final straw was the collapse and subsequent death of a admirer of Mr Purcell’s, a young Labour Party activist named Danus McKinlay who “worshipped” Purcell and “would do anything for him” . Guido understands that McKinlay was diabetic and there has been reason to believe that he had stopped taking his medication resulting in his subsequent collapse. Witnesses said they thought he was drunk – an easy mistake to make of someone who desperately needs insulin.
That was the final straw, within two hours Purcell had resigned as a councillor and has fled Scotland to an unknown sunny destination. Through all of this Gordon has remained silent. The ally he was once so keen to be photographed with, campaign for, tip for future greatness and fund-raise for, was left to the scrap-heap. What did Gordon know and when?

Katie T says,
‘We are perfectly capable of working for ourselves, and producing goods and services for direct use by whoever requires them. A new system where, when you need, say, various food items, a couple of cartons of orange juice and a new radio to replace one you dropped and broke, you go to the nearest ’shop’ or ‘superstore’, take them off the shelves, and leave. No queuing at a checkout. No handing over money or a bank or credit card. You just take what you need and leave with it’.

Katie T says:
And? It’s called moneyless real socialism and will be far better than what we have now. Capitalism is clapped out and can only be kept going now by creating bogus ‘growth’ through ever more borrowing, debt and financial and political chicanery. This can’t go on for ever though, just as feudalism couldn’t before it. It doesn’t really matter whether the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems or any other pro-capitalist party wins power. The system they all so desperately want to politically manage is fucked and doomed. The future under over-the-hill capitalism is prolonged economic stagnation and decline punctuated by occasional self-deluded recoveries, such as the one we have now.

Oh Dear, another one who wants to get rid of “money” and replace it with bureaucrats.
It will fail just like all the other murderous socialist ideas.
• Katie T says:
“It will fail just like all the other murderous socialist ideas.”
Didn’t you know? There has never yet been a geuninely (moneyless) socialist society anywhere. There’s been a few state capitalist systems, but these have fuck all to do with real socialism, if you can be bothered to check facts from bollocks. As for “murderous ideas”, it’s capitalism that produces these in abundance. Two world wars were fought because competing capitalist ruling classes sent working class men and women under their control to slaughter each other. But hey, who cares about about lots of death and destruction. Being able to earn and spend money is all that really matters, eh.

• Sting's Beard says:
In the internet age there is no power on earth that could prevent Socialism from being put into operation, that is if people wanted it. All it needs is for a Socialist to set up a website on which everyone agrees to it subscribes to the site and pays over all their salary each month. The website in return pays you your equitable share back. Whats that you dont want to subscribe? Whys that because you might pay far more in than you get back. Welcome to the real world. Socialism only ever happens by the application of State force. Thus socialism on any significant scale is always State socialism. The only practical exception to this is Insurance ( which is a form of voluntary socialism) which does not involve giving up your entire earnings.
Search the internet high and low. You might find a few oddball barter schemes and hippy sites but you will not find any genuine attempt to create a Socialist world. The reason being that nobody really believes in it. Go figure!!

OK Katie T.
What do you do for living? No offence, work is honourable and noble and you should not hide your light under a bushel. Do you make radios or pack orange juice. I’ll happily take all the radios you make and then some. Just leave them outside your house and I’ll arrange to collect them. Do you make laptops as cool as a Vaio? I’ll have as many as you and your mates care to turn out.

Tony says:
The thing is it wasn’t capitalism that got us into the mess but kinda a socialist capitalism. The sub-prime mortgages were thought up by the left in the mid nineties because ‘it wasn’t fair’ that poor people couldn’t buy their own house; therefore banks were forced to lend money to people that could never afford to pay it back thus creating a massive pyramid scheme. If capitalism was allowed to run itself and failure was properly punished then banks wouldn’t have lent the dodgy money.
I think the only system that will ever work will be the one that most closely follows natural selection and evolution, and for me capitalism without interference is it. Sure, it isn’t fair – but life’s not fair. Sure there will be failures and companies going to the wall – but the ones that don’t will be the ones with the right business model. Anything else is just un-natural

Not just that, but Governments decided that more debt = more tax on consumption.
Therefore they let Credit expand at 14% a year and moved reserves below the real risk level.
Result bankrupt the whole banking system.

• Mr Ned says:
We do not have a capitalist system in this country, it is a corporatist system. If we had a capitalist system there would be almost no Government at all, the Banks would overtly create society’s rules and there would be almost no tax.
Capitalism did not fail, for it has not existed. Fractional reserve fiat currency is not capital. The myriad bits of worthless paper that quadrillions of dollars have been leveraged on, are NOT capital. If it were it would not have lost so much value. True capital is money backed by something of real worth, it is securitized by items of intrinsic value, be that land or precious metals or gems, it is backed by value.
What we have seen in the west over the last 150 years is a corruption of capital, not by capitalists, but by evil men seeking more and more power than capitalism can grant.

Barter systems are all well and good. But what if there is an imbalance of what is available and what is required.
If someone needs a builder to do some work, it’s no good people offering them -say- a massage, or a book keeping service, or some organic vegetables.
They need a builder. And if no body is offering the services of a builder for barter, then that is where money comes in as being quite useful.
And if I want a radio, who decides what type of radio I can have? Or how many?

Cocaine is a lifestyle choice that gets out of hand but, if you can afford it, you can go on and on and on. You build an ongoing relationship with a supplier who will get to know you very well and can turn you on and off to nudge things his way…favours etc. To be a reliable and discreet supplier you have to control the market. Mafia love cocaine addicts as do their Glasgae counterparts. Crime can be very organised indeed with a very complex structure, involving lots and lots of subsidiaries.

A modest Proposal... says:
It really needs to be a very deep moat or dividing sea. Think how the North Korean Army engineered their part in the ’53 ceasefire – dig underground bunkers, join them up underground so they’re impregnable to conventional artillery/bombing & form a de facto cease fire line to any army that doesn’t to throw their soldiers’ lives away.
Then start a covert, aggressive & invasive deep tunnelling effort south of the dividing line. They started nearly 60 years ago in N Korea. Some tunnels were discovered when they broke surface 4 miles inside South Korea. There’s evidence of deep tunnelling still going on in the south of S Korea (all the way south from the ceasefire line).
A DMZ & land-mines alone won’t cut it. Excavate a deep trench using benefit claimants (or tactical nukes if Obama’ll still let us have some under ‘Operation Plowshare”) Flood the moat, mine the English side & post sniper teams there between Afghanistan tours for R&R.
Expensive, internationally unpopular and fairly short-lived – but it only has to last until post-IMF cannibalism reduces the Scottish breeding population into a death dive.

The Council officers most of whom are pro Labour because the party has been in power in the Council for over 20 years decided to give the Labour candidate a helping hand by printing a card with the picture of the candidate and stating that she is the Labour candidate in the forthcoming General Election. The card also included the Council’s logo. 100 of the cards were distributed to teachers ten days ago at a Council run training course. The Labour candidate has called it ‘a storm in a teacup.’ However the Fraud Squad have been called in and are investigating.

A type 1 diabetic says:
::sigh:; there are a quarter of a million type one diabetics in this country, you would have thought that more people would know about the condition. I have been taking insulin since I was 11, so I think I am qualified to say that your statement above is bollocks.
Hypoglycaemia, having too much insulin and too low blood sugar, can result in a dangerously low blood sugar within an hour or so. That does lead to a state that looks like being drunk – confused, inability to walk or talk coherently. If there is no attempt to raise blood sugar (ingesting a sugary drink, or a medic injecting glycogen) the diabetic would be unconscious within a few hours with a possibility of brain damage or death. Note the times here: within hours.
Hyperglycaemia, having too little insulin and too high blood sugar, is a longer term issue. It takes days, maybe weeks for a diabetic to lapse into coma from hyperglycaemia. During that time the diabetic would feel very ill, they would be short tempered, very thirsty, and a large amount of lose weight. But such a diabetic would not look drunk.
Let me repeat this, if a diabetic looks drunk but has not been drinking the likelihood is that s/he is suffering from low blood sugar and too much insulin. You must give them some sugar otherwise they may slip into a coma and die. If you are wrong and they have hyperglycaemia (too high blood sugar) whatever sugar you give them will have little effect on their condition since to get to that state they would have to eaten too much sugar over many days. But if they have hypoglycaemia (too low blood sugar) then giving then sugar will save their life.
So if McKinlay was acting drunk the likelihood was that he needed sugar, and that he had taken too much insulin. The next question is whether it is easy to take too much. I would argue that it is not, because insulin keeps diabetics alive, so it becomes a habit to take the right amount of insulin at the right time. To take so much to cause death means consciously taking far too much. The likelihood of that being a mistake is virtually nil. From the information that Guido published here, it is 100% clear that McKinlay had deliberately overdosed on insulin, and so deliberately killed himself.

• 375
bird with small brain says:
Just for the record: most type 1 diabetics get into trouble because they haven’t had enough carbohydrate to mop up the insulin they have already injected, or alternatively have exercised so much they’ve used up their carbo stores, in which case the treatment is chocy biscuits or glucose or whatever, if you can catch them before they pass out. Diabetics who neglectfully don’t inject themselves with insulin – and carry on eating over a period of days or weeks – eventually lapse into a diabetic coma, for which the treatment is insulin!
• 407
Biology pedant says:
The symptoms of the latter – which is presumably caused by high blood sugar – does that include the odd-behaviour-state?? this is a guess because people having type 1 diabetes, but who are not yet diagnosed, don’t have the problems.
but as you say about “get into trouble” with low blood sugar – I was just thinking about it – the guy I saw was irritated, worried and almost frightened about what was happening, but also giggling quite a lot and to all the people observing it quite amusing (in a VERY disturbing sort of way).
• 419
bird with small brain says:
An insulin coma (due to low blood sugar) comes on quickly over a matter of minutes – the person concerned characteristically becomes confused and very aggressive (Am I the only child to have been taught not to ask my father for pocket money before he’d had his tea?). The opposite coma due to excessively high blood sugar is slower in onset and behaviour is confused but usually not aggressive. They are both potentially deadly!

I used to work with a guy who suffered Type 1 and occasional hypo attacks – he’d start behaving very strangely and one of us would have to take him to the canteen and feed him a sandwich or two.

The curtain has lifted just a bit says:
The worst excesses take place in the Scottish Labour Party. Here, the notions that time served matters more than talent, and that obedience is a greater virtue than honesty, have long been dominant. When the only parliament was at Westminster, the factionalism, fixing and corruption were mostly confined to local government. John Smith and Donald Dewar knew about the awful sectarianism on Monklands District Council. They turned blind eyes to it because it was easy to deny. An unwritten contract existed – you boys can play squalid games in the closed world of your one-party council statelets, but you must never involve the parliamentary party nor will you embarrass us by getting caught. That was then. Now these tactics are the stuff of Edinburgh parliamentary politics, too. The dominant ethos in the Scottish Executive is the ethos of Scotland’s Labour councils – unprincipled, middle-aged, male, misogynist and principally motivated by naked self-interest.

There have always been serious concerns about the links of some of the Strathclyde Police ‘old guard’ to organised crime….one of the reasons behind setting up SCDEA and compartmentalisation of intelligence functions.
It doesn’t seem impossible that Purcell was given a heavy hint by SCDEA, and that the party hierarchy (possibly Brown through the police or security service) found out and told Purcell to step down very recently…hence his collapse.
Disturbing if the young man (Purcell’s friend) who died decided to stop taking insulin…perhaps a cry for help or genuine grief that passed unnoticed or ignored.

Tattooed_Arry says:
A cocaine lifestyle and the need for regular self-maintenance of blood sugar levels do not mix.
I would imagine that the use of such a stimulant would lead to abnormal swings in the body’s metabolism especially that relating to blood sugar levels.
However, as I understand it there is no evidence that the person had ever taken cocaine, let alone whether it was related to his death.
People who are insulin dependent do die in this manner, often as has been noted in this thread, because they are mistaken for drunks – and nearly everyone will cross the road rather than be accosted by a drunk or someone perceived as being drunk.
It would have been less suspicious, given that it happened in Glasgow, if the “dark forces” behind a cover-up had arranged a stabbing, rather than go to the trouble of inducing an insulin related death.

Sterling’s election woes are a vote against Brown
The particular problem here is Gordon Brown. I believe the chancellor when he says he wants to cut the deficit. I believe George Osborne and Vince Cable, the shadow chancellors. The prime minister, however, does not seem to believe it, even if he is occasionally persuaded to say it. He cannot believe what he saw as a transformation of Britain’s public services during his chancellorship, “prudence for a purpose”, has to be followed by more savage cuts than anything Margaret Thatcher tried.
Until he believes it, and can convince everybody he does, the markets will continue to harbour extreme doubts. And they will continue to believe a Labour victory, particularly a minority Labour government, would be very bad for Britain.

David Cameron met with the leader of Glasgow Council at a dinner, however the following day the council leader quit siting “stress”. This is on top of recent pressure from a mate of a friend in a pub who’s recent revelations about Lord Ashcroft’s tax affairs from 10 years ago have brought renewed scrutiny on the Tory leadership.

Glasgow is a “small” city and is home to BBC Scotland.
It is not in the least surprising that Labour’s tentacles of power extend into the BBC and influence its reporting of Glasgow politics.
What should be shocking to everybody is that the BBC’s bias covers the full spectrum of “Pravda’s” activities.
On the one extreme is the smear and exageration of any adverse story connected to a Tory, but on the other we now see the wilful suppression of information about Labour politicians which should very definitely be in the public domain.
Compare the information provided by “Rantinrab” with the BBC reports and what you see is the BBC putting a halo on a Senior Labour politician who others suggest is not only a drug addict with connections to organised crime, but is also in an influential position regarding the awarding of contracts and is susceptible to blackmail by his criminal contacts.
The BBC is every bit as rotten as the Scottish Labour Party, but unfortunately an election will not remove the corruption in our State broadcaster.

I’m sure someone has already pointed this out but… For an insulin dependant diabetic to die suddenly they have to have a “hypo”. Insulin acts to lower blood glucose by moving it into the tissues where it can be used/stored. A diabetic gives themselves insulin typically before a meal in anticipation of a sudden influx of glucose into their bloodstream. If they give themselves too much insulin or too little glucose (as sugar or carbohydrates) they have a hypoglycaemic episode where their blood sugar becomes very low. As the brain depends on blood glucose then this is affected first, the person can become disorientated and drowsy with coma and death resulting if help doesn’t arrive. Often diabetics will carry a sugar gel you can rub on the inside of their mouths in case of emergency.

Reply to 496
Another “coincidence”.
See 509
You want to bump off a diabetic clandestinely?
Swap his usual insulin for one which is more concentrated and quicker acting.
Just use a syringe to put the new preparation in the same bottle, by the time the diabetic has realised that something is wrong it will be too late for him to rescue himself.
I would expect somebody who was committing suicide to stay quietly at home; not die in the street.

Many thanks to Guido for reporting this story. I hope he will continue to expose the facts as they emerge.
It is scandalous that there is nothing in the Scottish press or the BBC giving the full account. It’s called the “protect the Labour Party at any cost” campaign.
The Scottish media let us down at every turn, spinning against the Nationalist movement but hiding the activities of Labour. They whole lot of them need gutting out, particularly BBC Scotland and the BBC Trust, who allow themselves to continue unhindered by their code of practice. We want fair reporting. Its not much to ask but it is not what we are getting.
I look forward with interest to watching First Ministers Questions on Thursday at 12 noon. I am sure the Labour party will be treading very carefully not to give Alex Salmond an opportunity to talk about the events of the last week.
The Tories may not be so quiet on the subject. We can only hope that their motivation to damage the Labour Party is greater than their lack of desire to give any assistance to the SNP.
In the wake of an expenses scandal and the resignation of the executives, Salmond has already said that he would reorganise Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) if it was not reorganised to be more politically representative in its spread of councillors (predominantly Labour at present). The Purcell affair and the silence of the Labour party on that gives the perfect oppotunity for Salmond carry out this threat to SPT.

Mimas "rising" from behind Saturn
Go Back
Mimas In this 10-frame animation captured on October 26, 2007 beginning at about 17:47 UTC, Mimas appears to "rise" from behind Saturn's limb. The animation consisted of clear-filter images; they have been colorized based on one full-color set taken at the end of the sequence.
NASA / JPL / SSI / Gordan Ugarkovic
Saturn and Mimas are at extremely low phase -- the Sun is almost directly behind Cassini -- so little of Mimas' rugged topography is visible. However, there is a noticeable flat spot on Mimas' western (upper) limb, which is the rim of the giant crater Herschel. The movie also illustrates how Mimas, unusually among Saturn's inner moons, has an inclined orbit. Cassini is on the north (right), unilluminated side of Saturn's ring plane. Moons that orbit outside the rings exactly in the ring plane would appear on the left side of the rings if they were closer to Cassini than Saturn, and on the right side of the rings if they were farther from Cassini than Ssaturn. The fact that Mimas is on the left side of the rings yet is evidently behind Saturn tells you that its orbit must be tilted with respect to the ring plane.

Sasuke Uchiha!! (うちはサスケ!!, Uchiha Sasuke!!) is chapter 3 of the Naruto manga.
Naruto Uzumaki, having finally passed his graduation exam, heads to the ninja academy to be put into three man squads. He ends up paired with Sakura Haruno, a girl Naruto has a crush on, and Sasuke Uchiha, the person Naruto considers to be his rival. After Sakura shows disappointment at being paired with Naruto, and only happy about being paired with Sasuke, Naruto devises a plan. During lunch Naruto ambushes Sasuke and ties him up, then uses the Transformation Technique to turn into Sasuke. Approaching Sakura as Sasuke, Naruto goes about finding what she thinks of him. Interrupted by having to go to the bathroom (right before he can get a kiss from Sakura), Sasuke manages to get free. Sasuke passes Sakura and she pesters him about their time together a few moments earlier. She then goes about insulting Naruto, and makes fun of him having no parents. Sasuke retorts angrily, saying she makes him sick. Deciding she has been too mean to Naruto, she decides she should try and be nicer to him from now on.

The first trailer has hit for "Kick-Ass 2" and it's tagged with a red band. While it's the first trailer fans have gotten a chance to see for the film, it's definitely a trailer worthy of the red band. Don't watch this one at work.
Opens August 16
It's been a while since there's been any concrete news for "Thor: The Dark World" -- understandable, considering that "Iron Man 3" is mere months away from release. However, Tom Hiddleston spoke with Red Carpet News TV about the film and its villain portrayed by Christopher Eccleston.
"He's one of Britain's greatest actors and he brings to everything he does a degree of commitment and intelligence and conviction and complexity," Hiddleston said of Eccleston. "I really don't want to spoil anything for you. Basically, Christopher Eccleston plays Malekith and he has his own ambition. Whether or not Loki can coincide with or contradict or subvert or enhance that ambition remains to be seen."
Opens November 8
CBR spoke with "The Walking Dead" star Danai Gurira about her role as fan-favorite character Michonne and the challenges she's had to endure so far this season.
"I think she has, sort of, allowed herself to go through a healing in a sense, and I think that involved stepping back, touching back into who she used to be. Even before anything went down, you know?" Gurira said. "Trusting and understanding that connecting with people again is not a liability; it's actually something that you need in this realm. I think she gets that and I think thats what you see her doing; reconnecting who she's always been. Putting down the mask, really, is what I think that episode was really illustrating."
Airs Sundays on AMC
CBR's Erik Amaya spoke with "Arrow" producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg prior to the PaleyFest panel this past weekend about the direction and mission statement for the show.
Meanwhile, it looks like Roy Harper will play a larger role in "Arrow's" second season as Colton Haynes has been upgraded to a series regular for next year. He'll continue as a recurring guest star for the rest of season one.
Airs Wednesdays on the CW
James Mangold has posted three character portraits on Twitter of Wolverine, Yukio and Mariko Yashida.
Opens July 26
Yahoo! Movies has posted a new featurette on the world and characters of "Oblivion," based on the Radical Comic of the same name and starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.
Opens April 12
Marc Webb has posted a new behind-the-scenes image from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" on Twitter, seemingly confirming that Gwen Stacy still works at Oscorp.
Opens May 2, 2014
A number of new "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" character profiles have been released by Paramount, including Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Firefly, Roadblock and Jinx.
Opens March 28
Cartoon Network has released stills and clips from this weekend's DC Nation programming block including the season (and maybe series) finale to "Young Justice" and a new episode of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" with a short clip of a "Farm League" short.

In the snow
"Ice and snow, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever."
Daniel 3:70
St. Benedict overlooks the monastery rock garden.
We had a pretty nice snowfall overnight here at Saint Meinrad--about 4 or 5 inches, by the looks of it. It's the first significant amount of snow we've experienced in a couple years (the post-Christmas blizzard earlier in the week mostly skirted by us here, although heavy snow did fall on other parts of southern Indiana not all that far away.) In any event, it's always nice to wake up to freshly fallen snow. It has such a soothing effect on the soul--at least mine, anyway. It seems to etch everything in stillness. So, after Mass this morning, I pulled on my coat and boots, grabbed my camera and headed outside. With the SCRUNCH of my first footstep (so good to hear after all this time!), I was enveloped by the snowscape I set out to frame. A few scenes from the winter wonder of this morning:
A peek into the monastery calefactory (living room)
from the rock garden. Can you see our Christmas tree?
The valley below the Hill. Look closely at the center, and you'll spot
the opening in the trees where the St. Joseph Shrine looks up at us.
Not sure why, but I think this is my favorite. Something
very lonely and at the same time serene about it.
Upon re-entering the monastery, I heard a rumor that
a Yeti-like creature had been spotted in the courtyard.
Cautiously, I went to investigate...
No Yeti. Just a friendly snowman, courtesy of Br. Zachary.
In case you're wondering, those are orange peels
for eyes and mouth. How'd you like arms like those?
Our snowman has two faces, coming and going.
On this side, and from this angle, I can almost see
a snowman's impression of Marlon Brando
as Santa Claus. Can you see it?
It's all in the lips...or maybe I've been
outside just a tad too long. Still......

1. Beautiful pics Brother. Thanks! Hope you don't mind my posting a few on my blog, crediting and linking here. Hope you had a blessed Christmas.

NAACP's Corporate Report Cards Fails Target, Kohl's Dillard's, Sears and Excel
By Will Chen on 27 January 2007 (Updated 10 June 2007) 5 comments
african american consumer
The NAACP's Economic Reciprocity Initiative (ERI) is a survey of how large companies treat consumers of color. In the latest report, the majority of the companies scored Cs or below. Companies like Target, Kohl's, Dillard's, Sears, and Excel were given Fs for failing to take the survey.
NAACP President Brusce Gordon called on blacks to stop shopping at Target, in particular, until they answer the NAACP's questions.
"They didn't even care to respond to our survey," he said. "Stay out of their stores."
Gordon further expalined that:
African Americans pump roughly $650 billion into the American economy annually. We should spend wisely and have readily available information to be assured that those we do business with are reinvesting in our community, employing a diverse work force, utilizing minority vendors and supporting our causes. Those not practicing such measures should not benefit from the economic power we provide. There continues to be opportunities for major corporations to improve their performance. Source: NAACP.
In response, a Target spokeswoman said via e-mail that the company
opted out of the survey "because Target views diversity as being inclusive of all people from all different backgrounds, not just one group." The NAACP survey asks only about blacks.
She added that minorities make up 40 percent of Target employees and 23 percent of all officials and managers. Source: Washington Post.

I find it almost silly that the NAACP would grade a company because they decided to opt out of a survey. And their response sounded sincere and genuine to me (I am a mixed Black individual.)
Just because Target opted out, doesn't mean they don't care about the Black Community. Target has been in partnership with UNCF (United Negro College Fund) for quite some time. They are also part of Tiger Woods' Start Something Program.
I patronize Target because of their selection, prices AND most importantly their support of education and the arts (of African American's, Hispanics AND everyone else.)
Will Chen's picture
My local target is always sponsoring charities relating to local schools around my neighborhood and I've enver seen any minorities treated with disrespect over there.
I wanted to give both sides of the story so I quoted Target's position. However, I wonder if the "minorities" quoted in the statistics include women as well.

I think there are technically more of us "innies" than you "outies". Just a thought.

Because I just sprayed a mouthful of soda over it! I'm going to steal your "innies" and "outies" description for my future blog posts.

The iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) enjoys an enviable perch as the largest China-specific by assets. By virtue of its girth, the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund is also the most heavily traded China fund (average daily turnover of almost 13.6 million shares) and one of the largest country-specific ETFs tracking any market, developed or developing.
By virtue of those facts, FXI is viewed as the bellwether China fund. FXI is to China ETFs what Intel (INTC) is to semiconductors and Coca-Cola (KO) is to soda. Since it is the bellwether China ETF, FXI is also the China ETF most talked about in the mainstream financial press.
None of these things mean FXI is the best-performing China ETF. It is not and that fact has been duly documented. Investors looking to play the rebound in Chinese equities via large-cap should consider one of FXI's relatives, the iShares MSCI China Index Fund (MCHI). Here are five reasons why.
Superior Performance Critics could say the iShares MSCI China Index Fund is not that old and that its performance compared to FXI's could eventually decline. That is possible, but MCHI debuted in March 2011 and it is fair to say 20 months is a longer enough track record to make some valid comparisons.
When accounting for paid dividends, MCHI has outpaced FXI by over 400 basis points in the past 12 months. MCHI has accomplished that with volatility of 23.6 percent compared to FXI's volatility of 25.9 percent. Over the past three months and six months, MCHI is the better performer as well and that those gains have also accrued with lower volatility. One reason for MCHI's superior returns might just be...
Lower Fees A dissertation is not needed for this subject. Simply put, FXI charges 0.72 percent per year. MCHI charges 0.58 percent. Translation: $10,000 invested in equals $72 in fees. The same amount invested in MCHI equals $58 in fees. That gap might be meaningless to active traders, but investors with a long-term outlook on China cannot afford to overlook the cost savings associated with MCHI.
Tracking Error Speaking of expenses, tracking error is part of the total expense equation with ETFs. Simply put, tracking error is the margin by which an ETF deviates from its underlying index. There is no such thing as an ETF with no tracking error, but some are more adept than others at mitigating this issue.
Both FXI and MCHI deserve credit on this front. According to iShares data, FXI has an annualized tracking error of 0.68 percent. That beats its expense ratio of 0.72 percent. Any ETF where the tracking error is below its expense ratio deserves some praise.
MCHI's annualized tracking error is 0.55 percent, meaning its tracking spread relative to its expense ratio is smaller than FXI's (three basis points compared to four). That does not change the fact that MCHI's tracking error is lower.
Diversification A common criticism of FXI is that it is home to just 26 stocks. Twenty-six stocks is hardly reflective of the Chinese economy, the world's second-largest. MCHI is home to 142 stocks. MCHI's top-10 holdings represent just under 53 percent of the ETF's weight while FXI's top-10 names equal 61.2 percent of that ETF's weight.
Financial services names loom large in both ETFs, but MCHI's 37.4 percent allocation to the sector is preferable to FXI's 57.1 percent concentration to that group.

Diplomatic Source: No Agreement Has Been Reached in Cairo Talks
According to a diplomatic source in Jerusalem, at this time Israel has not agreed to any of the proposals put forth by Cairo in its efforts to mediate an agreement between Israel and the terror organizations. The source did note, however, that there have been an increased amount of proposals that have been suggested in the past few days, in order to restore quiet to the region, but that none have been agreed upon.
The Palestinian delegation was scheduled to return to Cairo tonight (Motzei Shabbat) in order to resume talks on Sunday, but members of the delegation have expressed their pessimism for any chance of success.

I’m not enthused about Ghanaian comedy - Hon. Fritz Baffour
Hon. Fritz Baffour, Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South has said he not too enthused about Ghanaian comedy.
Speaking in an interview with Channel R, he said: “I’m not too enthused about Ghanaian comedy. When we started comedy in the past with people like KSM and Tommy Annan Forson, we gave out deep comedy. Now the industry is bad! Investment in comedy is poor, so basically, I’m not enthused about comedy in Ghana now.”
Fritz Baffour is one of the veterans who started standup comedy in Ghana in the early 90s. He used to host a programme on GTV called ‘Fritz and Friends.’ He’s been a TV producer for over 30 years.

Two recipients selected for Kevin Lodder Scholarship
MRAA Educational Foundation
December 20, 2013
Filed under News
MINNEAPOLIS — Lynette Santomenna of Race City Marine, Mooresville, N.C., and Michael Przybyla of Rivett’s Marine, Old Forge, N.Y., were recently selected as recipients of 2013 Kevin Lodder Scholarships. The scholarships were presented by MRAA Educational Foundation Board Member Matt Lodder of Lodder’s Marine on Wednesday, Nov. 20 during the Marine Dealer Conference & Expo Awards Luncheon.
“The strength and number of applications the MRAA Educational Foundation received for the Kevin Lodder Scholarship this year was incredible,” said Liz Walz, the foundation’s Executive Director. “As a result, the board of directors voted to hand out two scholarships, thus doubling the impact of this year’s scholarship program.”
The first of the recipients helped her husband launch a boat dealership operation five years ago, while juggling a full-time job at an area law firm. It involved many late nights at the kitchen table building a website and marketing platform, and weekends helping customers at the shop and at boating events in their local community. The two of them have been building the business from the ground up, and now Lynette Santomenna has given notice at the law firm so she can join the business full-time. She is excited to put what she learns at the Spader Total Management 1 Workshop to work to grow their dealership.
The second recipient, Michael Przybyla, has lived the boating lifestyle since he was a young kid, spending summers at his family’s camp on the lake. His marine industry career began as an area dockhand, and he quickly grew to love the marina. He applied that passion and became the Service Manager after only six years, and in one year, he will complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. His goal is to one day own the business.
“There is more to owning a marina than the transfer of ownership,” he wrote in his scholarship application. “Taking the reigns of a company that has been in business for 108 years is a stewardship. It’s maintaining loyal customers who have been coming to you for generations after generations, while continuing to build relationships with new ones. I believe that the opportunity to attend Spader’s workshop will significantly help me to achieve my goal of effectively leading this organization.”
The Total Management Workshop details skills that will increase profits, stability and growth for the dealership. Attendees leave the workshop with a clear set of principles, processes and tools to take their company to new levels of performance and profitability.
For more information, visit the Kevin Lodder Scholarship web page: Please contact Liz Walz with any questions at 315-692-4533 or

Norwich is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States, located along the Connecticut River opposite Hanover, New Hampshire. The population was 3,414 at the 2010 census.[3]
Alden Partridge, ca. 1817
The boundaries of Norwich were established on July 4, 1761, when Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire defined the boundaries of townships in Vermont.[4] The first settlers reached the area in 1763 and began to clear the wilderness and erect the first hand-hewn log buildings, wintering over for the first time in 1765.[5] Early settlements occurred along the Ompompanoosuc River. Later, the current village site became settled. The first town meeting occurred in April 1768. The first Congregational church was founded in 1770 and a structure built in 1778. The population grew from 206 in 1771 to 1,158 in 1791 and 2,316 in 1830.[6]
The town was named after Norwich, Connecticut, the state from which the first settlers originated.[7] In the original charter, the name was spelled "Norwhich", but the additional 'h' was dropped shortly after the town was chartered.[8] Originally pronounced "Norritch" (similar to the English pronunciation of the city of Norwich, England), the town name has in more recent times become more commonly pronounced "Nor-wich".
Alden Partridge and the founding of Norwich University[edit]
In 1819 native son, Alden Partridge, a former Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, founded the private "American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy" in Norwich.[9] He hoped to establish a new "American system" for training cadets that included both humanities and science topics in the curriculum, in addition to military science. In his six years of Norwich residency, Partridge achieved an academy population of nearly 500 "cadets". He moved that school back to Middletown, Connecticut, in 1825, but returned in 1835 with a charter from the U.S. Congress to found another military academy, which remained in Norwich until 1866, when it burned to the ground. The school then relocated to Northfield, Vermont, where it exists today as Norwich University. [6]
Norwich pastureland in late October
Norwich lies on the western bank of the Connecticut River, which forms Vermont's boundary with New Hampshire, opposite its companion town, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Ledyard Bridge connects the two towns. The Vermont towns bordering Norwich are Thetford to the north, Sharon to the west, and Hartford to the south.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 44.7 square miles (115.7 km2), of which 44.4 square miles (115.1 km2) is land and 0.23 square miles (0.6 km2), or 0.50%, is water. The Ompompanoosuc River flows into the Connecticut River in the northeastern part of the town.[10]
The landscape is hilly and wooded. The elevation of the town center is 531 feet (162 m). The hills in the town include the 1,700-foot (520 m) Griggs Mountain in the southwestern section and the 1,853-foot (565 m) Gile Mountain in the northwestern section.
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 3,544 people, 1,367 households, and 944 families residing in the town. The population density was 79.3 people per square mile (30.6/km²). There were 1,505 housing units at an average density of 33.7 per square mile (13.0/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 95.97% White, 0.48% African American, 0.20% Native American, 1.61% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.62% from other races, and 1.10% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.79% of the population.
There were 1,367 households out of which 41.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 58.1% were married couples living together, 8.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.9% were non-families. 24.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.59 and the average family size was 3.10.
In the town the population was spread out with 29.3% under the age of 18, 4.9% from 18 to 24, 23.6% from 25 to 44, 31.3% from 45 to 64, and 11.0% who were 65 years of age or older.

Commerce and culture[edit]
Norwich's general store (left) and inn (right)
The town commercial center features a traditional, but actively used, general store.[11] Adjacent to the general store is a restored, historic inn with a restaurant and brew pub.[12] The Montshire Museum of Science[13] and King Arthur Flour are located in Norwich.[14]
Norwich maintains one of the few interstate public school systems, the Dresden School District, commissioned by President John F. Kennedy, which is shared by the towns of Norwich and Hanover, New Hampshire.[15] Students attend Marion Cross School in Norwich for kindergarten through sixth grade, Richmond Middle School in Hanover for grades seventh and eight, and Hanover High School in Hanover for grades ninth through twelth.[16][17]
Major transportation routes, which run parallel through the Connecticut River valley, include Interstate 91, U.S. Route 5 and the former Boston and Maine Railroad right of way, now owned by the State of Vermont.[18] The Appalachian Trail passes south to east through the town from Hartford, Vermont to Hanover, New Hampshire.[19]

Played out arguments
There are so many arguments on here that do not simply make sense to me. I know stats are important on basketball but some of you take them to be the end all of a argument. The game if basketball is more than just stats if u watch and play the game u understand it more than the stat geeks. The one that annoys me the most is the one about CJ McCollum not being good enough to play point because he only averaged 2.9 ast. First if all if you watch their games(which I'm betting some people don't) then u understand that CJ McCollum was asked to score for that team not to distribute. His team simply could not be trusted to score points. Watch the game and u cn tell who far and away is the best player on the floor. Also arguments like KCP for Georgia didnt shoot a good percentage so he isn't a good player. KCP was the focal point of a UGA team that wouldn't have been close in any games were it not for him. He is going to be a pretty good player in the NBA. I will end this by saying stats aren't everything. There are things in the basketball game that don't show up on the stat sheet. Far too many arguments come down to stats which sometimes should not happen. Watch the game and the competition going on and quit falling back to your numbers

ADHD in children – how to get help
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) – also sometimes known as hyperkinetic disorder or attention deficit disorder (ADD) – is a disorder that affects behaviour and learning abilities in children. ADHD in children is a relatively common problem, affecting up to one in 20 children of school age. It is thought that genetics, low birth weight and exposure to toxins in the womb may contribute to the development of ADHD.
ADHD in children is a worry for any parent. It is important to know that you can get help from the private healthcare sector as well as your own GP and the NHS. Private clinics and hospitals throughout the UK can help treat ADHD in children, and can care for you and your child to over several years as necessary.
What are the symptoms of ADHD in children?
The symptoms associated with ADHD in children fall into three main categories:
• inattentive symptoms such as being forgetful and easily distracted with an unusually short attention span
• hyperactive symptoms such as being unable to sit still or play quietly or being generally overactive
• impulsive symptoms such as not waiting their turn in queues or when talking
ADHD in children is usually mainly inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive but most children have a mixture of all three types of symptom.
Because the symptoms of ADHD in children are so variable, ADHD can sometimes go unnoticed. If left untreated, the symptoms of ADHD can affect children’s’ ability to learn and can impair their development. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for children with ADHD and private healthcare can mean shorter waiting times and less delay.
How is ADHD in children diagnosed?
The first step, whether you opt for NHS or private treatment for ADHD is to have your child’s behaviour and medical history assessed. If ADHD is suspected, your child will be referred to a specialist. This could be a child psychologist, child psychiatrist or a paediatrician.
A diagnosis of ADHD in children is usually based on behaviour in different settings (such as home and school) after other causes such as hearing problems have been ruled out. Therefore, to get a firm diagnosis, your child’s specialist will need to spend time observing their behaviour and gaining insights from you and other people who know your child well. Some private specialist assessment centres may also perform psychological tests such as the Weschler test or a Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) as part of the diagnosis.
What help is available for ADHD in children?
Treatment for ADHD in children depends on the individual child and their symptoms, but most children benefit from a combination of different treatments:
• Talking therapies such as behavioural counselling to help your child modify their behaviour and cope with their condition
• Strategies for managing behaviour at home. Your child’s specialist may be able to help with this or put you in touch with support groups or classes to help you
• Dietary changes such as cutting out sugar, caffeine or food additives or adding vitamin and mineral supplements and omega-3 can sometimes reduce symptoms of ADHD in children
• Medicines that balance the levels of specific chemicals in the brain may sometimes be used to treatment ADHD in children, such as methylphenidate (eg Concerta XL), atomexetine and dexamfetamine
Private paediatric treatment for other behavioural disorders
Other behavioural disorders in children can be treated privately, including autism spectrum disorders, conduct disorder (characterised by aggression and antisocial behaviour), childhood anxiety or depression, adjustment disorders (such as following a traumatic event or life change), and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Sony: To Introduce PlayStation 4 at $399
By Daisuke Wakabayashi
LOS ANGELES--Sony Corp. (6758.TO) said Monday it will introduce its upcoming PlayStation 4 at for $399, significantly undercutting the price of the latest game console from rival Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), which earlier surprised the market with a steeper-than-expected $499 price tag for its Xbox One.
At its presentation at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony said the PS4 will sell for 399 euros in Europe, although the company didn't offer further details on when it plans to launch the game console later this year. Earlier Monday, Microsoft said it would introduce its new machine in November.
Sony also struck at Microsoft's controversial disc usage rules for the upcoming Xbox One game console. Sony said it won't place any new restrictions on PlayStation 4 users from playing used games or keeping the system offline.
Last week, Microsoft, said games for its Xbox One might include stricter limits if resold or lent to friends. The company also said the Xbox needs to be connected to the Internet every 24 hours.
Jack Tretton, the head of its U.S. PlayStation business, said the PS4 won't implement the most unpopular aspects of Microsoft's rights management restrictions, including daily digital check-ins, user authentication rules and the ability to share game discs with friends.

Book Description
For much of the last century, civic planning acted on the principle that we were only the next subdivision away from the American dream. Sprawl, dislocation, and civic disengagement was the result. Social capital, those social networks and the attendant norms of trust and reciprocity, became an endangered resource. By promoting communities that are denser, less car-dependent and have a diverse mix of residential, business, and retail elements, New Urbanism seeks to rebuild the ties between individuals and their communities. Such communities, New Urbanism argues, foster more interaction among their residents, and lead to an increase in bonding social capital.
This issue examines in depth the potential impact of New Urbanist design principles in the creation of social capital and analyzes the underlying premise of New Urbanism which argues that how we design our communities affects how we live our lives. Contributors provide a comprehensive introduction to the issues, assess what has been learned so far, and indicate directions for further research.
Chapters include a comparative analysis of New Urbanist neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon, that reveals how initial composition of such neighborhoods by self-selecting residents creates high levels of bonding, but community composition shifts over time also need to be factored in. The intriguing relationship between reduced dependence on the automobile and civic engagement is studied in depth, along with the clear need to change how we formulate urban policy and foster suburban expansion. Methods to increase collaboration among a diverse set of interests and the importance of civic intermediary organizations in convening discussions and fostering productive relationships are also explored.

Midnight Commander
Forum: DSL Tips and Tricks
Topic: Midnight Commander
started by: mikshaw
Posted by mikshaw on July 31 2005,14:54
This first post is just a copy of what I have already uploaded to the vectori mirror, but I'll keep adding to it as time goes on. Please feel free to add any of your own tips for running mc....
DSL mc does not include a menu or extensions file, but I've found that using them makes a HUGE difference in mc's power. The menu file (/home/dsl/.mc/menu) brings up a menu of actions which can be performed on the selected file(s) with the F2 key. The extensions file (/home/dsl/.mc/ext or /home/dsl/.mc/bindings?) lets you set the action performed on each filetype, depending on whether you choose to open (double-click or Enter/Return), view (F3), or edit (F4).
Here's a [relatively] short menu file which should help in dealing with a few common tasks:
EDIT: dead link, and the file has been lost =o(
This current file is slightly in need of repair as of July 31,2005, but it mostly works. The filetool part is broken, though, since it was changed to ".filetool.lst" in the latest DSL version (i'll fix it soon...just been busy with other stuff lately).
A future addition to the menu file will be the option to set a selected image file as background:
= f \.jpg$ | f \.png$
w Set as wallpaper
[ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && bsetbg -f %f
The mc man page (google.com/linux) explains in detail the format of the menu file, but basically it's something like this:
= f \.jpg$ | f \.png$
selected item is a file ending in either .jpg or .png
w Set as wallpaper
this is the displayed label. "w" is a hotkey.
this is the command performed on %f (the selected item).
= t d
u Create UCI package from current subdirectory
Pwd=`basename %d`
cd ../ && mkisofs -R -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -pad "$Pwd" | \
create_compressed_fs - 65536 > "$Pwd.uci" && \
md5sum "$Pwd.uci" >"$Pwd.uci.md5.txt"

Get access to a subshell in aterm with Ctrl+o by setting your TERM variable to "xterm".
EDIT: sorry, this one doesn't work in DSL's mc. You can get a look at stdout this way, but you do not get a subshell for input.
Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 14 2005,18:54
Transparent background....
I couldn't figure out why using "mc.bin -b" would just give me a black and white mc even in a transparent terminal. It works fine in other distros. Then after changing aterm's foreground color it suddenly started working. Don't ask me why, but transparency in mc does not work with certain font colors.
I changed /home/dsl/.Xdefaults to use "gray90" for aterm's foreground color instead of the default "white", and when i use the command "aterm -e mc.bin -b" i now have a transparent mc in DSL.

When your baby is breech, it means that the buttock or legs of your baby are closest to your cervix. This is very common in the beginning of the pregnancy as the baby tends to change positions and summersaults frequently. As your baby gets closer to the due date, the head will become heavier encouraging the head to sink to the bottom of the amniotic sac so that it will be closest to the cervix at the time or birth. Despite this,1 in 25 women will have a baby whose head is facing the wrong direction near the due date. It is dangerous to deliver a breech baby vaginally since the head, being the largest body part of the baby, can get stuck in the birth canal during the delivery. If you baby remains in a breech position near term, you will be either offered a cesarian section or an external cephalic version. An external cephalic version is usually done at about 37 weeks gestation and refers to when your health care provider turns your baby using manual pressure on your abdomen over your uterus. It is done in the hospital with the help of uterine relaxing medications. Turning the baby to a vertex (head down) position is successful in over 50% of times. Some people have used traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture with some success in turning the baby. If your baby remains breech at the time of the delivery, you will need a cesarean section.

UK bank Natwest releases Windows Phone app, boasting a solid feature set
Natwest App
• Transfer funds between your accounts
• Find your nearest cash machine or local branch
QR: Natwest

jsnod25 says:
US bank (the all of them) need to hop on board with thus trend of making WP apps, UK banks are doing this well, and so are other European banks, but not the US so much.
Great to hear for my UK friends, more apps like these only serve to eliminate oh there are not enough apps argument, I can't wait for the integration of wp8, rt, and w8 apps stores, I can keep dreaming can't I?
Big Supes says:
Awesome news. This is a much needed app for us Brits. HSBC next, please!!
fbloise says:
and Barclays, specially PingIt!
Eddie_Lomax says:
Hmm, I'm seriously tempted to swap to Natwest here unless Barclays get an app out.
I used to really like the old WAP phones for share dealing and bank account checking, its been a long time since they've been useable in a portable sense...
RyanAMG says:
Hopefully Wells Fargo will be next. Also intuit Go Payment would be nice.
Mon-El says:
Good start, looks like a top app. Wrong bank for me though and does this use NFC on Windows Phone 8? Would be great to actually be able to use NFC for buying my lunch :)
Gorki247 says:
NFC payments require a secure-sim; so it's up to the operators to deliver this first.
fbloise says:
Not really, I was able to use NFC payments in a Galaxy S3 using Goole Wallet and my SIM is not an Secure-sim at all.
Gorki247 says:
That's Android; Windows Phone needs a secure-sim. This was a conscious choice made by MS. It's my understanding that operators and banks prefer this method.
conair346 says:
I can confirm there's no NFC in it. Though it could come in future. I believe last year RBS/Natwest trialled iPhones with NFC cases.
steppyhen says:
I just got a tweet from Natwest saying they're looking into NFC payments for the app. Be great for this to happen!
roguck says:
This app has been a long time coming with requests on Natwest's forum going back beyond 12 months. Now it is here roll on windows phone and its successful growth.
conair346 says:
I'm hoping they've got the sister apps in the wings once the 'test population' of Natwest customers plough through any bugs. My main account is with Ulster even though I have a graduate account and PayWave debit card with Natwest.
Its a convenient set up - branch networks in the two main regions I tend to be - England and Northern Ireland... And as its the same backend any movements are instant.
Great that they've not left out the Windows Phone 7 users here. Top work, Natwest!
Metrosity says:
Ho-bloody-ray, I hope this is the start of real consumer acceptance of Windows Phone.
Tezler says:
Come on HSBC. Follow and don't get left behind :) !!!!!
Gorki247 says:
Don't hold your breath for HSBC; they have stated many times they have no plans for a WP app. I'll be letting my bank know soon that I'll be changing banks exactly for this reason. If a bank cannot cater for me as a customer (regardless of my choice of phone) and cannot keep up with the times, they are no bank for me.
Tezler says:
Balls. News I didn't want to hear.
Same as damn Sky. I pay a fortune and yet they still advertise sky with generic, mobile and tablet access. They should be forced to say sky with specific apple products. Its shite, how can you advertise mobile and tablets if you cut out parts of the market. It's bull***t. Governing bodies should come down on them.
nsp24 says:
This is the only app i have missed since moving from the iphone well done NatWest.
Jakeway says:
Hope Nationwide make one too.
Log into Internet banking and send them a message. If enough people do it they will hopefully take notice. I was told that there was no official word on a WP8 app but they would forward my request onto the developers. Hopefully they receive enough requests to come up with the goods.
Ihawks says:
Lloyds tsb please!!
Corkers100 says:
Great news. Now i can see how broke I am
mshaw2k says:
I have been waiting for this app ever since i threw my iphone away over 2 years ago, so happy and this is definitely a positive thing for the os. Developers are finally taking note. Happy days.
Great my main bank first on WP! Barclays now then will be complete!
FeedTheShark says:
Does this work with RBS accounts, or just NatWest. Guess I will find out when I install it...
Mikeyglw says:
Just asked them on Twitter
1. now that the Natwest Windows phone app has been released when will the RBS one be released?
2. 4 mins
Hi Michael, this will be coming shortly. Thanks DS
Bigsro says:
Barclays app please ;-) this is good news and is good to see!
TechsUK says:
Come on EE (orange/t-mobile)with NFC
Glad it's finally come. Hope more mainstream apps start coming to WP8 and Win8.
sejgiul says:
Excellent news! Been dying to have this app.
Ben Toan says:
Looks like an excellent app and well integrated with look and feel of wp. Also full range of features. Long awaited
nablor says:
Superb app very welcomed on wp7 excellent Natwest
pLUSpISTOL says:
Doesn't support customers from Scotland (the irony). App tells you when you try to log in with your customer number.
Jealy666 says:
One of the only banks I don't have an account with! Typical! Good on them though.
prashant45 says:
Release for sbi too
Freuder says:
Requires you to enter your debit card details to register. I have no cards for my NatWest account (never have had, used to do everything by phone and now online) so I cannot use the app. Good to see they thought out the registration process carefully ...
nsp24 says:
Just order a card!
rockstarzzz says:
Any banks (USA ones) doing credit cards as well? Is it "a thing" to not do credit card accounts by any chance?
DReevell says:
love it...downloaded and registered my details, just waiting for confirmation SMS so I can start using App...if it's as good as the article suggests then this is a truly fantastic app that will get some serious use from me as I have three accounts with NatWest (business, personal, savings).
sudakoma says:
Been waiting ages for this but not available for customers in Scotland.....the wait goes on.
sparksy says:
cant log in when i enter phone number it says "this service unavalible please try later"
Mikeyglw says:
Looks like the RBS App is in the marketplace
Just registered my details :)
DReevell says:
so I've been using the NatWest app for a couple of days now and I must admit, it's probably the most useful app I currently have installed. I've used it to transfer funds between my accounts, review my statements, and will probably test the 'Get Cash' function over the weekend.
All-in-all, a damn good app that does exactly what I need easily and quickly. #Impressed
cybermoose89 says:
Need a app for HSBC as well tbh

Windows 7 May Run Better than You Think on Older Hardware
All in all, the performance I was getting was better than the experiences I had using computers at internet cafés in developing counties. It was perfectly usable as long as your expectations are appropriately low.
So while not glowing, the point was, it still worked. That said, you've got all kinds of better options for breathing new life into an old laptop or computer with the likes of Damn Small Linux, gOS, or Puppy Linux. Photo by howcheng. [PC World]

Ministry of Sound Launches New Imprint, Previews First Release
Longstanding electronic institution Ministry of Sound has launched a new imprint known simply by the name HK, announcing that the label's first release will arrive later this month via UK producer The Golden Boy. The Birmingham-based producer chosen to deliver HK's inaugural record is not entirely unfamiliar to the XLR8R pages, as he gave us a sumptuous free tune from his EP for Kerri Chandler's MTDL digi-label back in March. The young producer's Higher EP will officially launch the Ministry of Sound-helmed HK imprint when it drops on June 17, but before then, The Golden Boy's forthcoming three-track effort can be previewed below.

Can Someone Clever explain my baseband question?
3 posts in this topic
I have a UK huawei G300 which has the following basebands (apprently!) taken from huawei uk website
GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS 1: 900/2100MHz
UMTS 2: 850/1900/2100MHz
The australian G300 has the following basebands
HSPA 850/1200, GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Now, I will be getting sim card which operates on Teltras 3g (850 band) for my holiday.
Will this work on my handset, or do I need to buy a new handset?
How do I find out what 'baseband' my handset has (is that even the right terminology?!?!?!) and if it'll work?

shouldn't be a problem. As far as I'm aware, they are the frequencies the phone operates on.
Any issue would be with 3g data speeds I reckon.
depending on where you travel, you could be without any signal at all if travelling in the outback or outside major metropolitan areas.
Many GSM phones support three bands
(900/1,800/1,900 MHz or
850/1,800/1,900 MHz) or four bands
(850/900/1,800/1,900 MHz), and are
usually referred to as tri-band and
quad-band phones, or world phones ;
with such a phone one can travel
internationally and use the same

travelling Sydney to cairns, will be OK for signal. If you head overland towards uluru or on over to Perth, you won't have any signal for days at a time.
I was there 2007-2009 working holiday.

Tourism Cares Restores Vibrancy to Plimoth Plantation and Mayflower II - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather
Tourism Cares Restores Vibrancy to Plimoth Plantation and Mayflower II
SOURCE Tourism Cares
More than 275 volunteers donate $160,000 of labor to iconic destination
Effort saved 2,113 hours of staff time
PLYMOUTH, Mass., Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tourism Cares today announced the successful completion of a large-scale rejuvenation of Plimoth Plantation, the Smithsonian Institution Affiliate that annually attracts more than 350,000 guests. On Friday, September 27, World Tourism Day, more than 275 volunteers from 21 states and 113 companies donated $160,000 of labor in advance of 2020, the highly anticipated 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim's transatlantic voyage to Plymouth, Massachusetts. Volunteers made enhancements to the museum's authentic timber palisade, visitor center, and grounds, including the Wampanaog Homesite; Mayflower II, now a 54-year-old wind vessel; Burial Hill, recently listed in the Register of Historic Places; and the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Tourism Cares also awarded a $10,000 grant to Plimoth Plantation to support ongoing revitalization of its 130-acre campus overlooking Cape Cod Bay. Tourism Cares preserves iconic travel experiences and is the largest volunteer organization for tourism professionals in the world.
"The gift of your valuable time will help us to continue to fulfill our educational mission and provide guests with an engaging, transformative experience that touches lives in meaningful ways," said Ellie Donovan, executive director of Plimoth Plantation, during the closing outdoor ceremony. "Plimoth Plantation, Mayflower II, and the town of Plymouth are national treasures. You have helped preserve these for the future, and we are grateful to you."
Tourism Cares volunteers saved Plimoth Plantation and Friends of Burial Hill an estimated 2,113 hours of valuable staff time. Volunteers restored 300 feet of the timber palisade surrounding the museum's iconic 17th-century village; sanded, scraped, and painted all the interior surfaces of the Mayflower II's outdoor decks; cleaned lichen and mold from 160 infested gravestones at Burial Hill, an early U.S. cemetery spanning the Mayflower's arrival to the Civil War; cleaned debris and stacked necessary deadfall firewood for the Wampanoag Homesite, an outdoor living history exhibit; and made enhancements to the museum's visitor center, parking lot, and grounds, including nearly 10,000 square feet of painting; approximately 150 feet of new outdoor decking, and removal of invasive species.
"We are honored to have contributed to the vibrancy of Plimoth Plantation and the town of Plymouth," said Mike Rea, president of Tourism Cares. "Tourism Cares is a movement that channels the goodwill of the global travel and tourism industry."
"Mayflower II is out in the harsh New England weather and sees hundreds of thousands of visitors every year," said Peter Arenstam, skipper of Mayflower II. "Tourism Cares has allowed our staff to focus on structural repairs that we must complete before 2020."
In honor of the effort, Plimoth Plantation and the Town of Plymouth named September 27 Tourism Cares Day in Plymouth.
Tourism Cares is grateful to sponsors Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, Pilgrim Hall Museum, Destination Plymouth, Town of Plymouth, Visitor Services Board, Plymouth County Development Council, A.D. Makepeace, Ocean Spray, Mayflower Brewing Company, Setting the Space, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, Plymouth Bay Winery, Trolleys by Tes, Sodexo, Pilgrim Sands on Long Beach, MaCher, Globus Family of Brands, Smart Destinations, Inc., AAA Travel, Marriott, Halo Branded Solutions, ADARA, American Bus Association, NTA, United States Travel Association, United States Tour Operators Association, United Motorcoach Association, Student Youth Travel Association/ SYTA Youth Foundation, Lowes, On Call International, DATTCO, and Yankee Leisure Group.
History of the "Tourism Cares for America" program
Created in the aftermath of September 11th, Tourism Cares for America brings together the tourism industry to give back to American icons in need of care. Volunteer restorations have united nearly 4,000 travel industry professionals who have donated 31,189 hours at a value of $600,000 at culturally and historically significant destinations such as Ellis Island, New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Gettysburg, Valley Forge, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Angel Island in San Francisco.
Announcing Tourism Cares for Miami
In 2014, Tourism Cares will leverage its strong legacy of community service to help Friends of Miami Marine Stadium restore Cuban-American Hilario Candela's Florida landmark and modern architectural masterpiece. Built in 1963 on Biscayne Bay, the 6,566 seat stadium, noted for its visually arresting cantilevered concrete roof, fell into disuse after Hurricane Andrew and had been slated for demolition. In 2012, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the abandoned structure a National Treasure. Tourism Cares will provide donations of highly skilled assistance for fundraising and other initiatives to support its eventual and complete restoration; in May, hundreds of travel and tourism volunteers will rejuvenate key parts of the stadium. Professionals interested in volunteering can learn more at tourismcares.org.

Michigan | DUI Law
Legal Question
Asked on: 3/17/13, 12:36 am
I am a college student who recently received an MIP in his dorm room. There was a party and the cops were called so we kicked everyone out. I had been drinking (under aged), but was completely coherent and cooperative. The cops asked to search our room and didn't find anything until they looked in our fridges. They then asked if i would submit to a breathalyzer test, and we refused on the grounds that we wanted to be safe. They then, cuffed us, threw us in the back of the car, and sent us to the drunk tank. We were not aware at all that they were going to do that! They also did not read us our rights, which is especially concerning. So, when I appear in front of the judge on my court date, do you think I have the grounds to get this dismissed, the two main points being the fridge searching and the lack of rights reading? Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

Block & Leviton LLP Investigates Tech Data Corporation And Certain Of Its Officers And Directors For Possible Violations Of The Federal Securities Laws
BOSTON, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (, a Boston-based law firm representing investors nationwide, is investigating possible securities law violations by Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TECD) following the Company's announcement that "investors should no longer rely upon the Company's previously released financial statements." More specifically, Tech Data announced that it "will restate some or all of its previously issued quarterly and audited annual financial statements for the fiscal years 2011 and 2012, and some or all of the quarters of fiscal year 2013, including our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 earnings release dated March 4, 2013."
According to the Company, "the restatement will be made to correct improprieties related to how the Company's U.K. subsidiary reflected vendor accounting." At this time, Tech Data believes that the restatement will reduce previously reported consolidated operating income by an aggregate amount of approximately $30 million to $40 million, and consolidated net income by an aggregate amount of approximately $25 million to $33 million, over the three fiscal year periods.
Block & Leviton's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether Tech Data or its officers and directors have violated the federal securities laws. If you purchased Tech Data stock between May 23, 2011 and March 21, 2013 and have any information relevant to this investigation, or have questions about your legal rights, please contact attorney Steven Harte of Block & Leviton LLP at (617) 398-5600 or email him at

New Home fo Frodo, A: 1. A New Home for Frodo
Reader Toolbox Log in for more tools
1. A New Home for Frodo
Opening the door, Bilbo said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster, "Here we are!" He was greeted with a blank stare. The idea of adopting his cousin, Frodo, after the death of his parents had seemed like a grand idea. Not only would it thwart the Sackville-Baggines' plan to grab Bag End, he would be able to provide for Frodo. One should always help family, he rationalized. Utilizing his wealth and position, he would be able to provide so much more then he would receive as an orphaned hobbit in Buckland. There Frodo was one among many. At Bag End he would be just one. And that was the real reason Bilbo had extended his offer of adoption: He was one also, and likely to remain so. Living the life of a solitary bachelor suited him well. It allowed him to leave on his wanderings at a moment’s whim, he was able to leave book, maps and papers lying about without anyone nagging to clean up, he could even walk around Bag End in just his nightshirt, all day long, if he took a mind to, (he never had). Yes, living without any entanglements fit him just fine. That is until night fell, and Bag End seemed to stretch into oblivion with only one tiny hobbit to fill that void. In plainer terms, Bilbo was lonely and the thought of another voice in the morning, another coat on the pegs in the front hall cheered him enough into writing that letter and opening his home to Frodo. Yet, the cheer he had reveled in on the trip over to Buckland had quickly evaporated when he beheld his new charge and his dead eyes. Clutching the small bundle of his personal belongings, Frodo had stood like a stone as his aunt bustled around giving last minute instructions. No, that wasn't quite right. A stone, albeit silent, still had a presence, you knew it was there, occupying space. The young hobbit was disconnected somehow. One could almost pass him off as a trick of the mind, one of those phantoms you see out of the corner of your eye, then is gone. He was polite to his Brandybuck family as he said goodbye and rose to sit in the cart without another word. As Bilbo drove the borrowed cart out into the lane, Frodo never once looked back at the only place he had ever known. Bilbo had tried to engage the young hobbit in conversation on the ride home. He was met with barely imperceptible nods. He soon gave up and they finished the journey to Bag End in silence. When Hobbiton came into view, Bilbo began to fear that he had made a huge mistake. I should ask Gaffer Gamgee for advice, he thought as he tied up the horse at the gate to his home, He seems to know how to raise young ones. Just look at Samwise. He is turning out to be a fine hobbit. They stood on the front stoop, Frodo still staring ahead, showing no desire to enter. "Please, Frodo," Bilbo said as he rushed past the still hobbit into the front hall, "Come in and see your new home." The front hall looked empty, just like Frodo's heart. He had no clear memory of how he had come to be standing in this strange place. In fact, the last clear memory he had was sitting at his table at home in his father's chair, feet dangling, listening to the story of his parents death. Then everything went blank. He had agreed to this move, to the adoption by Bilbo Baggins simply because he knew he could no longer stay in Buckland. The familiar fields, the commonplace homes, the regular activities brought no comfort, only pain and loss. Each time he walked those lanes, waved at his friends and family, he expected to see his mother and father come around the corner, wrapping him up with hugs, calling him their "little joy", making him feel safe, wanted, needed. Yet, when that corner was turned, it was empty, always empty and would remain so. He knew his life in Buckland was over. That decision had brought him here to Hobbiton, to Bag End and his new life. Only, now has he stood with it unfolding before him, he realized he hadn't really wanted a new life. He understood that the old one, as the only son to Drogo and Primula Baggins was ill retrievable. What he secretly desired was to stop, stop time, allowing the rest of the world to continue on and he would remain as he was right now, detached, outside, apart from the teeming life of others. Somewhere behind that secret desire, buried underneath all his private fantasies, in a place that he even denied existed, one thought burned. And that was the real reason why he made no move to enter Bag End. He understood, rationally, that the tiny voice whispering to him was not to be trusted, yet he could not deny its power. "You go through that door, and you will leave your parents behind," it repeated to him now, "Cross over that threshold and your mother's smile, the smell of your father's pipe will leave you just like the morning mist on the cornfields after sunrise." He thought he had been ready to leave everything behind, but, now that he was faced with the reality of his decision, he discovered that he was still thatfrightened little hobbit huddling under his covers as the Spring rain brought the thunder pounding on the windows. He needed someone to tell him the rain would stop. Bilbo was at his wits end. Short of physically dragging Frodo inside, he saw no other way to get the young hobbit through the door. His turmoil over what to do was interrupted by the sound of tuneless whistling from the garden out back. From around the corner came Samwise, dirt from head to toe, his arms full of his morning's labor. "Oh, Mr. Bilbo, you're back!," he cried, running the short distance up to the front door, "We weren't looking for you 'til after tea." Leaving the empty front hall, Bilbo came out to greet his young gardener. Sam had literally taken over the care of Bag End, now that his father was getting older and was finding it harder to spend the day stooped over, tending to the plants. It was odd, Bilbo couldn't tell exactly when the change in gardeners had occurred. Sam had been coming to Bag End with his father since he was just old enough to hold a hoe. In fact,since Bilbo had begun to teach Sam his letters, the young hobbit was always around Bag End, either outside making the barren soil bring forth life, or hunched over the desk, feet sticking out backwards across the chair, absorbing everything Bilbo showed him. Gaffer had been with his youngest son at the beginning, but over time his visits to Bag End had grown fewer and shorter until Sam was the only Gamgee keeping the gardens tended. "The trip did not take as long as planned," Bilbo said. It was a nice change to actually speak to someone who would answer back. Holding up his arms, Sam showed off the garden's yield. "I brought the best, Mr. Bilbo. Turnips, cabbage, my Gaffer's prize taters. Everything you'll need for a fine stew. Only," His beaming face fell. "The carrots, Mr. Bilbo, I can't understand it. I did everything I was supposed to, just like my Gaffer showed me, but I can't get them to grow no how." Bilbo was taken by this hobbit's genuine dismay. "I'm sure what you have there will be sufficient, Sam." The older hobbit's words did nothing to placate Sam's mood. "These here cabbages, I planted them at the same time, and they came out just fine. Now, I know carrots like a different sort of soil than cabbages, or even taters. That's why I used more manure on them then the others. Maybe it was the manure. I don't know what Farmer Bolger's been feeding his cows this season, 'cause the stuff that comes out of them just ain't..." Sam stopped. Eyes wide as saucers, mouth gaping open, he realized what he had been prattling on about. He dropped his head to hide his shame and mumbled, "I'll just get these inside." "I don't care much for carrots anyway." Bilbo could not believe it! After his endless stream of witty conversation brought nary a peep from Frodo, a dissertation fertilizer had elicited a response. Not wanting to loose this opportunity, he quickly made the introductions. "Sam, I would like to introduce Frodo Baggins. He has come to live with me here at Bag End. Frodo meet Samwise Gamgee, our gardener and neighbor." The only proper way to seal an introduction like that was with a handshake, but Sam found his arms full of vegetables. Without a second thought, he passed his burden to Mr. Bilbo, then stuck out his hand. "Please to meet you, Mr. Frodo." Frodo stood staring at the outstretched hand. After a moment, Sam glanced down and realized his hand was covered in dirt. He quickly wiped it on his shirt front, only slightly cleaner, then extended his hand again. "Welcome to Bag End." Looking at the gardener's dirty face, Frodo saw his bright smile shine through the grime. Before he realized what he was doing, before the tiny voice could begin to whisper its warning, Frodo reached out and shook Sam's hand. "Thank you, Samwise." Bilbo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Gathering his vegetables back from Mr. Bilbo, Sam began to talk very rapidly. "You're gonna like it here, Mr. Frodo. Bag End is the best hobbit hole in all of Hobbiton, maybe even the Shire. And Mr. Bilbo here, why he's a famous hobbit! Been on adventures, fought dragons, even seen elves!" The vacant look in Frodo's eyes began to fade, Bilbo noticed, as Sam spoke. "I'll just take these right inside, Mr. Bilbo. Even wash them up for you. Yes, these'll make a fine first dinner here at Bag End for Mr. Frodo." He disappeared into the hole. When Bilbo did not follow, he stepped back into the doorway. "You coming, Mr. Bilbo?" He was really torn now. Should he join his talkative gardener in the kitchen and leave Frodo standing outside his door, or stand there with him, and go hungry. Even though he was listening now, Frodo had still made no move to enter Bag End. "I bet Mr. Frodo just wants to stay outside a little longer, that's all, enjoy the warm breeze," Sam said, "You should have seen it last night, though. Rained so hard my Gaffer said it like to pounded the windows right out of their frames. But, it's all gone now. The rain's stopped and Summer was left behind." Frodo remained frozen in place, but, if you looked closely, the barest hint of a smile had begun to etch its way onto the corners of his lips. After one last look at Frodo, Bilbo shook his head with resignation, and moved past Sam on his way to the kitchen. "We will call you when supper is ready, Frodo." Sam looked Frodo right in the eyes. There he saw the hurt, the horror of abandonment, the scared little hobbit. He instinctively wanted to help. But, he didn't know people. He was nothing more than Samwise, Gaffer Gamgee's youngest son, Sam the Gardener. Then be a gardener, if that's what you are, his inner voice said. All living things need water, food, the sun and time. Time to heal, time to regrow that part of themselves that had been damaged by nature, or by tragedy. This new Baggins was definitely not a plant, but Sam would tend him like a fragile flower until his roots grew deep here at Bag End. "Take as long as you like, Mr. Frodo," Sam said softly, his voiced pitched for only Frodo, "I'll be right here, if you need me." Then Sam left for the kitchen without expecting a reply. Standing there on the front stoop of Bag End, Frodo was trying not to listen to that internal voice of doom, the one that foretold of the loss of his childhood memories. Squeezing his eyes tightly shut, shiny dots swarm in front of the darkness, as he willed that voice to cease. It was shrieking at him to turn back, to run away. He ground his teeth in his struggle to conquer that demon. Unconsciously, he stepped through the door. It was cool inside and had a slight musty odor, like an old book just opened after many years left abandoned on the shelf. The voice that had echoed through his brain was ominously silent now, here inside Bag End. He was gripped with panic. If the voice was gone, maybe too were his memories. What if the warning had been true? He closed his eyes again and scrambled to recall the faces of his mother and father. He was moving towards the door, to go back out again, retreat to the past. Then the scent of his mother's freshly washed hair wafted through his mind. His last birthday, the expression of his mother's face when he gave her that vase he had made all by himself was instantly followed by the angry sound of his father's voice when he had been caught, again, stealing mushrooms from Farmer Maggot's field. His parents had not deserted him. They had followed him from Buckland, to Hobbiton, inside Bag End. In that moment, he understood, a little, about grief and the necessity of moving on. Life can not stop, life can not retreat. We bring what we are, and were, on the journey towards tomorrow. His eyes open now, he took in his new home. Bag End was indeed a grand place and so much room for only two hobbits. You were constantly bumping into someone at Brandy Hall, stepping on another's toes. But, here at Bag End, he would have the space to run, room to breaths, and maybe even a private place all his own to dream. What was that his uncle had told him? The woods around Hobbiton are just perfect for a young hobbit's imagination. Full of wonder, excitement, ready made for adventures. Pans rattled out in the kitchen and Sam was begging Bilbo to tell the one about the trolls. Again. Hanging his coat on the second peg in the hall, Frodo went to see if he could help with his very first dinner at Bag End. It didn't feel like home. Not yet. But, if he needed to, he now believed that he could always stand outside enjoying the warm breeze right after the rain stopped. And remember.

UU Cores

This is one of my favorite cores to use right now in UU:
Bisharp @ Leftovers
128 HP, 252 Atk, 128 Speed
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
-Swords Dance
-Sucker Punch
-Iron Head
Zapdos @ Life Orb
180 HP, 252 SpA, 76 Spe
Modest nature (+Spa, -Atk)
-Hidden Power Ice
Bisharp and Zapdos don't have great synergy by type, but they can use their unique movesets to break walls pretty well, and then have Zapdos or another sweeper clean up afterwards. Bisharp's goal is to come in on the things it walls and set up a Sub or an SD. Roserade, Crobat, and Umbreon are good Pokemon to set up on, though if the opponent is locked into a Choiced attack that Bisharp can deal with, that's even better. Scarf Flygon's Outrage is a great move to come in on, as you can potentially set up a Sub AND an SD if you get some confusion hax. Otherwise, you'll probably have to settle for only a Swords Dance.
Bisharp can then wreak all sorts of havoc on the opponent's team provided that the Bulky Waters are out of the way. A +2 Sucker Punch does loads of damage to the Waters, but all too often the Water will try to Phaze you. I'm looking at you, Blastoise. Fire types are usually OHKO'd by Sucker Punch, and those that try to do some clever switching to get away from Sucker Punch will have to take Iron Head, which has the same Base Power as the fearsome Sucker Punch.
Zapdos makes for an excellent cleaner since he can finally run Modest Life Orb without being taken down by faster opponents thanks to Agility. The only drawback to Agility Zapdos is that BoltPowerIce just isn't a great combo in UU unless you have the hazards/attackers to soften up the opponent's team a bit. If you can wear down the opponent than Zapdos' Speed boost makes it a force to be reckoned with since all those Scarfers that enjoy revenge killing Zapdos suddenly find themselves outspeed and KO'd.
Threats to this core include
Swampert walls this core, so it's important to have Grass-type coverage on your team. Roserade is a nice choice, though some of the more unruly Swamperts will either use Subsitute or a Choice Banded Earthquake to get rid of Roserade. If Roserade is too frail for your liking, then try Shaymin, who walls Swampert consummately and SEED FLARE.
You need a hazard setter, as this core is pretty useless without a couple hazards on the opponent's side. Nidoking makes a great Stealth Rocker since it keeps up the offense from the core, but doesn't do a whole lot for type synergy. Swampert's lone weakness is covered by both Zapdos and Bisharp, and Bisharp's Fire weakness is handled well by Swampert.

Armaldo is in NU for a reason though-he can't break through some common ghost types. If you're looking for an offensive spinner go with SD Kabutops. Also, use Mienshao over Ambipom as Ambipom sucks.

Well, I'm not sure if one has been posted, but a Volt-Turn Core that I've used a bit works really well in UU.
Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Volt Switch
- Overheat
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
Flygon @ Choice Band
Jolly Nature
252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- U-turn
Xatu @ Leftovers
Magic Bounce
Calm Nature
252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
- Thunder Wave
- Roost
- Night Shade
- U-Turn
These three really work good together, creating a lot of momentum out of nothing, a lot like how Rotom-W and Scizor do way up in OU. The primary goal of this core is to hit and run as much as possible, all while using Xatu to deflect Stealth Rock, which would hamper Rotom-H, and Burns from Flygon. Xatu also uses Thunder Wave to slow a lot of threats up so that Flygon can come in during the late-game and just bowl through everything. Ice-type attacks aimed at Flygon and Xatu are taken comfortably by Rotom-H, Flygon takes the Rock-Type attacks aimed at Rotom-H and Xatu. The only troubles this team has is against the likes of Milotic, Suicune, Swampert, and most other Bulky Waters that would live / resist a Volt Switch or Thunderbolt. I've been running a Porygon-Z alongside these three specifically to break down the opposing Bulky Waters via residual damage and Adaptability Tri-Attacks.

Gligar is a great physical wall as ut counter huge threats in Heracross and Flygon. Also Gligar has acces to roost and and a slow u-turn so it can bring in a counter + its defense with eviolite is fantastic so dont say it is a bad wall.

the problem with gligar isn't that it can't take hits, it's that it's really dead weight outside of defense. it can stealth rock, but not too much else. it doesn't hit hard enough at all to be much of an offensive threat. the best it can really do is use taunt to not be set-up fodder.

Thank you for your obviously well thought out post and thank you again for your timely response. You were kind enough to put your ignorance on display for the world to gaze at so let me explain why you are quite incorrect and, more importantly, why I am quite correct.
You state that "Gligar is a great physical wall as [it] counter huge threats in Heracross and Flygon." You could fill Gligar with say, Dusclops, and still end up with a statement true...according to your undeniably flawed logic. Let me tell you now, Dusclops is not a good wall outside of full stall in UU and if you don't trust me on that, I suggest you to play UU before displaying your ignorance like my friend BROStime did here. Obviously your first sentence is invalid because countering two powerful threats is not good enough to make a wall good. Walls exist only to counter threats, lots of threats, they aren't about to sweep teams or break open cores. If you can counter two out of thirty, maybe fourty, offensive Pokemon you suck.
Of course if you had actually read my post before you would have learned Gligar is not a reliable counter to either Heracross or Flygon. Heracross can simply slap on SD, with either a status orb or Leftovers to bulldoze through Gligar. I myself am fond of a more defensive variant of Heracross with SD that some great guy on IRC gave me a set for, just enough to outrun Adamant Honchkrow and lots of HP/Defense with an Adamant nature. It sucks up Earthquake like its nothing. In that case, Heracross counter Gligar not the other way around.
Gligar can reliably counter Scarfcross and Scarfgon but plenty of stuff can, including for instance, Eviolite Wartortle. Wartortle I assure you is not very good in UU. Flygon though can easily get around Gligar by using its reputation as a Scarf user to lure in Gligar at ~80% since a Band Outrage does 40% on average. Draco Meteor with LO 2hkos Gligar. Gligar in short, cannot reliably counter these two Pokemon even if they use conventional sets.
Gligar does have access to Roost, thank you for mentioning that. Rather unfortunately it still cannot counter these Pokemon because it has no time to Roost unless you want to constantly spam Roost the entire game to stay at 90%+ in which case your opponent will probably have already set up a +6 Ludiculo in Rain or something retarded like that. Gligar has a higher standard of living than most defensive Pokemon because it lacks Leftovers meaning it needs to constantly be at around 85% after Stealth Rock damage which is basically 100% to counter stuff. If not it cannot even counter LO Arcanine, which is not so good but common, reliably.
It has a slow U-turn, I will give you that which is cool. Of course if you want to use U-turn on say Darmanitan expecting a switch you may be royally screwed.
Gligar has fantastic defenses. Well physically at least it what I think you mean . Cobalion is a relatively weak attacker. Apart from the absolutely pathetic fact that Gligar cannot 2hko Cobalion reliably without Spikes, you must realize Gligar not at 100% health have a very good chance of dying to SD boosted Iron Heads because of the flinch chance. Bisharp does the same but it is stronger and can only take one EQ. See my original post for more on that. I did not mention the implications of that though, if a 90 base attack pokemon can defeat Gligar, it surely means others with greater can too am I right? Of course I am! Arcanine needs Gligar to take SR twice. Scrafty needs Ice Punch or Bulk Up. Darmanitan needs just a LO to 2hko. Victini needs a Band or a special lure. Sharpedo needs to use STAB. Kingdra needs to use STAB. Azumarill needs to use STAB. Weavile needs to use STAB. Mienshao needs to use HP ice or BP SD boosts away. Flygon needs a Band. Heracross needs SD. Rhyperior needs Ice Punch. Swampert needs STAB. Honchkrow needs you to switch in SR twice. Snorlax needs Curse or Ice Punch. Machamp needs Ice Punch or Rest Talk. These, perhaps most shockingly, are all part of standard sets. So basically Gligar can reliably counter Krookodile (I swear BU is going to be popular) and Stoutland (LOL).
"Ok hilarious we motherfucking get it now, you don't need to rant." No you don't get it and yes I need to rant because apparently some of you just don't get it or otherwise disregard my posts. Are they too long? mayyyybeee. If you cannot spend the five minutes it takes to read my posts then please don't bother to respond.

As I said with access to slow U-Turn it can be really good helping your offensive threats in to the battle without taking hits. Also Gligar has access to Roost, meaning that it can come in later in the game and Roost up so I wont say Gligar is dead weight when used the right way.
Wow calm down dude lol ! You know just like me that Gligar counters a lot off huge threats not only Flygon and Heracross, I thought you got my point but you obviously didnt. And YES it is an defensive pokemon with not too powerfull attacks that is why U-Turn come in handy, also Gliscor has great synergy with a lot off pokes out there so if you say Gligar is a bad mon your wrong, but whatever I dont need you to tell me what to do. I have played competitive for a while and, I find UU extremely fun. So dont be a douche because I dont share the same opinion as you do.
Have a nice day further.

Adding a Blastoise to the Gligar + Snorlax core seemed to help me out. Blastoise is a good Rapid Spinner, and he can also take water and ice attacks that Gligar doesn't appreciate. I also found that Blastoise generally takes on Mixed Mienshao well, which would usually break the Gligar + Snorlax core.

Whoa whoa whoa, dude. What DOES it counter? Give us FACTS, give us NUMBERS, PERCENTAGES, not just 'yeah it counters a lot of stuff'. Unlike you, the other guy gave facts, useful facts mind you, he may have been a bit mean-ish, but he's right. Also, don't try to just close it off because you don't want to, you know, discuss. Which is what's a discussion is for...
Also, I love Machamp. Dynamicpunch/Stonedge/Substitute/Toxic whilst not very coverage-y, is very nice to have.
Porygon2 is a monster, A MONSTER I tell you.
edit: (for those that didn't realize it, I like the (not that useful but..) P2 + Machamp Combo)

I've recently rediscovered this gem of a core I used on an (admittedly horrible) old team (from BW1):
Sharpedo @ LO
252 Atk/88 Def/88 SpD/84 Spe
Speed Boost
- Protect
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
Yanmega @ Choice Specs
4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe
Tinted Lens
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- U-Turn/HP Ground
- Giga Drain/HP Ground
Basically, a nuclear version of the Wallbreaker+Sweeper combo that spans the ages of competitive pokemon. Yanmega lures in walls who expect speed boost and 2HKO's many of them with its STABs alone. Your last 2 slots have the option of scouting ability/switch advantage, coverage against Rhyperior and Swampert in a addition to healing, and coverage against a couple of notable walls that can take your STABs, like Registeel, though HP Ground will rarely do enough to break through them alone. Once walls are out of the way, speed boost Sharpedo can destroy offensive 'mons without breaking a sweat.
A great partner is Hitmontop who spins (which is necessary) and KOs Snorlax for you, and can lure bulky waters in for toxic. Roserade lays spikes to help break things while also beating bulky waters who threaten to take your hits, like Suicune.
12. jagged_angel
Aug 29, 2007
Not tried out Specs Yanmega much so I will have to have a look at that.
The trouble with Sharpedo though is that it cannot OHKO a lot of offensive pokes at full health. For example, Jolly Sharpedo can't even OHKO Meinshao, one of the most frail sweepers at full health (Sharpedo@Life Orb (252 EVs, Neutral Nature) Waterfall vs Meinshao (0/0 EVs, Neutral Nature): 90 ~ 106.2% (244 ~ 288 HP)). On the flipside, almost any neutral hit from a sweeper can OHKO it.
So Sharpedo needs more than just Yanmega to form a core. Sharpedo really needs Stealth Rock and Spikes on the field in order to function at its best, so Roserade and Bronzong would make great team-mates. Bronzong would be the preferred Stealth Rocker since you desperately need a Physical Wall if you're using the aforementioned pokes, and he also provides a much needed Flying resist which is completely necessary if you're also using Hitmontop to keep away the rocks Yanmega hates. That's not a core, that's practically a whole team.
13. Zarco
Feb 22, 2011
These sweepers do need a lot of support, it's true. But specs ya mega has been a lot of fun to play with and pretty strong in my testing. Sharpedo simply complements it somwhat well.

Nidoqueen and Umbreon have been forming a good core for me lately. Together they have nice defensive synergy, and Umbreon's wishes help keep Nidoqueen healthy and dishing out tons of damage.
Nidoqueen @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 240 HP / 216 SpA / 52 Spe
Modest Nature
~ Earth Power
~ Sludge Wave
~ Ice Beam
~ Fire Blast
What's especially nice about Nidoqueen right now is that she makes a great check to both Raikou and Heracross, perhaps the two most threatening Pokemon in the tier currently. She also absorbs Toxic Spikes which are a death sentence for Umbreon and the rest of my team since I don't run Heal Bell usually. She resists SR as well which is always a plus. Fire Blast and Ice Beam are my coverage moves of choice since it is important to not be walled by Bronzong and to be able to KO Flygons who can otherwise get in for free on every other move Nidoqueen packs.
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
~ Wish
~ Payback
~ Taunt
~ Toxic
Even though Umbreon's Taunt is slow, it can hit potential switch-ins who want to use it as set-up bait, which gives Umbreon a bit of breathing room to pass a Wish. There are still slow Pokemon that Taunt is very useful for as well (namely OTR/NP Cofagrigus, Porygon2, Bronzong, Slowbro, and Snorlax, who is a particular nuisance to Nidoqueen). I opt out of Heal Bell on this set since Nidoqueen makes a great status absorber for Toxic and T-wave and I usually run a Fire type to take WoWs.

I might be a little late, but this is a great defensive core that I use extremely often:
Registeel and slowbro are both one of the best walls in UU, and their synergy is great. I would dare to say that slowbro is about the best physical wall in the tier in most situations, and is a pokemon worth trying. Registeel can play both physical and special defensive role, and because of the steel typing, it covers every weakness slowbro's got, except one, being electric. But since all the electric type users in UU uses Thunderbolt, they're not threatening to registeel at all. This is how I abuse this core:
Registeel @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Def / 232 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Protect/iron head/shadow claw
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Slack Off
Registeel: The Ev spread seems kinda random, but I don't like putting all Evs in one defence, seeing that the other side of the spectrum becomes pretty vulnerable. It is slowbros job to take most of those hits, but taking megahorns from Heracross is still registeels job. I mostly run the Toxic/protect/seismic toss combo, to toxic stall and get of some damage between protect-restoring(my bad) turns. Of course, having Iron head would be nice for some ghosts, like mismagius and rotom, and shadow claw is super effective. Besides that, I would say Protect is the best option.
Slowbro: It's main reason to be here: Set up on suicune, take physical hits, threaten victini. Being able to Calm mind along with many other pokes is an awesome ability, and psyshock gives it the upper hand. Scald has a nifty chance to burn physical threats, while slack off is great recovery. Regenerator is an awesome ability, seeing that slowbro can switch in and out to recover back health, instead of having to pull off a slack off. The 8 spd Evs are there to outspeed other slowbros, getting off the first and important psyshock(Which will do shit anyways), and to outspeed threats like banded Escavalier, which some people run speed Evs in, just to outspeed and kill slowbro. Running flamethrower is another options for just taking those down, while grass knot works fine when it comes to killing other slowbros.

I've been having some success with a psuedo-defensive core of Crobat, CB Snorlax, and CS Slowbro. Crobat covers your Fighting types with a move for Slowbro, anything particularly fast, and uses Super Fang to tear down walls. CB Snorlax has a powerful bulky Pursuit to permanently dispatch Azelf, Mew, and Chandelure, as well as a strong STAB Return that hits a large portion of the tier for neutral damage. CS Slowbro is fantastic. Regenerator is practically made for Choice Specs. Psyshock 2HKOs many Snorlax, while Scald is just a great coverage move that can Burn anything trying to foolishly set up on it.
This core does have the fault of no hazard support, but as opposed to the traditional Slowbro / Snorlax core, it's less about phazing and more about hitting hard and posing a continuous offensive threat. I especially love when people Toxic either of these Pokemon - thanks for the free hit.

seconding any core using CS Slowbro^^
I have been obliterating all opposition with the amazing CB Crobat+CS Darmanitan which only requires hazard support and Magic Bounce/Rapid Spin support to walk over everything (I don't really consider the SUPPORTERS part of the CORE). Few things can effectively wall both of these guys and they get struck down from hazards while it is essential you keep SR off your side of the field. Because these two are so fast and powerful (Jolly CS Darm's FlareBlitz is hitting about as hard as Adamant CB Flygon and CB Bat is doing enough to OHKO 100% Chandelure) they generally have an easy time outspeeding offensive teams and OHKOing their Pokes. Spamming U-Turn early game is not a bad idea to soften up things like Suicune even more.
The cores biggest weakness are things faster than Scarf Darmanitan.

I'm interested of how this core handles Rhyperior, seeing as it effectively walls Crobat 100% and even with good prediction Darmanitan's Superpower won't knock off too much. So something like Blastoise would be good to handle that and also spin for the pair? Or even a CS Slowbro ;)

i hope and pray my opponent doesnt use rhyperior ehehehe. just kidding i see a rhyperior as a blessing - two sweepers is better than one wall. of course they wont break it themselves but i stack spikes and almost force rhyperior to come in only to shave off 15-30% net (depending on hazards) damage with batty's Uturn and then immediately force it back out with SHAYWIN (very cute, very strong, very bulky). At this point Rhyperior is running away I am putting intense pressure which I can turn to momentum by a double switch or obvious prediction (hahahaha die Chandelure eat my epower) and pretty much insurmountable material gain. If Rhyperior wants to come in again it will be at 50% health likely and 35% if it comes in on a U-turn...not very hard to kill it off because it will be forced out AGAIN. meanwhile my xatu should be keeping me clear of nasty nasty hazards - of course if their rhyderpior is setting up hazards i will kep shaymin in play for much of thematch to make sure they dont have a chance to get up rocks. for reference the team is batty/darm/froslass/rhyperior (i use my own!!!)/shaymin/xatu. Best thing the team can say about Chandelure is Modest ones always are outsped and OHKOd by Crobat :l
Oh and RP Rhyperior genrally 6-0s me plz dont use it, thx.

On the Umbreon + Dusclops core, please go Foul Play > Payback on Umbreon, as Foul Play is capable of dealing more damage, especially on Azelf, where Foul Play can deal a potential OHKO.

Empoleon/Cresselia Core
Trait: Torrent
Calm Nature
-Stealth Rock
-Icebeam/Grass Knot
Ev's: 252 HP/180 SDef/rest can be put into SAttack or Def. Just a personal choice
Trait: Levitate
Bold Nature
-Thunder Wave/Calm Mind
-Ice Beam
Ev's: 252 HP/252Def/4SAttack
This core allows you to take hits with ease due to the huge bulk of the two pokemon and the great synergy they share. Cresselia tanks Fighting type moves and avoids ground types for Empoleon, who repays the favor by taking on Ghost, Dark, and Bug type moves without worry. The only weakness left by this core is one to Electric but this can be solved by a simple addition of a ground type, not terribly hard.
The move sets are fairly standard but you do have some options. Grass Knot or Ice Beam on Empoleon is just a matter of choice, do you want to hit Gligar and Zapdos hard (Whom you shouldn't stay in on anyways....) with Ice beam? Or do you want the more reasonable Grass Knot so you can take on Bulky waters that wall you without having to Scald spam and hope for a Burn. Thunder Wave or Calm Mind on Cresselia really just depends on whether you want to be able to sweep or need the paralysis support, there really is no right or wrong answer its just a preference.
These two together pose many problems for offensive teams and defensive teams alike and can be a huge pain in your side with Empoleon phazing you around and Cresselia either boosting up or Parahaxing your team.

This core I've been trying, with moderate success:
Calm Nature
252 HP, 252 SpDef, 4 SpA
Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Impish Nature
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk
Thunder Wave
Pain Split
Porygon2 is primarily a special wall, stopping threats like Zapdos and Chandelure in their tracks. Trace is a very good ability that lets me beat a variety of threats. Recover is great, reliable recovery, and Tri Attack is strong STAB. BoltBeam for coverage. I run Thunderbolt to compensate for the loss of power caused by not running Download or Analytic. Qwilfish's main job is to counter the Fighting-types that give Porygon2 so much trouble. It's great typing, ability, and support movepool make it very good. Waterfall is strong STAB, Pain Split for recovery (only one besides Rest), Thunder Wave to spread status, and Spikes for hazard damage. I've also considered Haze, but I prefer Spikes.

Running Discharge over Tbolt is generally a better idea for defensive P2s.
A set of Discharge, Ice Beam, Toxic and Recover is very helpful in checking a lot of different Pokemon. Discharge is, just like Scald, a move you opponent most often doesn't want to switch into, because a paralysis is most often game changing, while Toxic can be used on Ground Type switch ins.
You'd need a good Roserade check for this core though. Specially defensive Roserade can take uninvested Ice Beams, while stacking up layers of Spikes or put you to sleep. Also it doesn't really fear paralysis and can threaten Qwilfish with it's strong STAB attacks. That's just a quick thought that came to my mind though, so I might be wrong on that.

Not necessarily. If Roserade is offensively threatened by something else on your team, Tracing Natural Cure and firing strong Ice Beams at it will still put the hurt on it. If you fall asleep or Roserade Spikes, just bring in your offensive threat.

Tributes following death of long serving Doncaster doctor
Tributes have been paid following the death of one of Doncaster’s longest serving doctors.
Dr Edward Huckett, known to friends and colleagues as Ted, died last month, aged 82 and during his career, served as a GP at Kingthorne Group Practice on King’s Road, Doncaster, for 32 years until his retirement in 1991.
Dr Huckett, who lived in Edenthorpe with his wife Ann, was actually born at the surgery he later went on to work at, his dad Arthur opening the building in 1926.
Current Kingthorne GP Dr Martin Coleman, who worked alongside Dr Huckett at the start of his career, said: “Ted was very big on the practice and used to describe it as the goose that laid the golden egg.
“He was a very big and scary looking man but he was very, very caring and would always tell people to call him and speak to him if they were poorly and they should never worry about bothering him.”
Dr Huckett’s father began practising in Doncaster in 1919 and then designed and arranged for the building of the current surgery on the corner of King’s Road and Thorne Road, opening the building in 1926.
His son was born in an upstairs room, now an office, with a plaque commemorating the birth.
After attending school in Wakefield, he underwent medical training in Edinburgh and followed his national service, followed his father into the medical profession, returning to Doncaster as a GP at the surgery in 1959.
He spent 32 years there as a doctor, before finally hanging up his stethoscope in 1991.
Added Dr Coleman: “He was very much a man of routines. It was surgery, visits, lunch, surgery and then high tea every single day without fail.”
Following his retirement, he was a volunteer guide at the The Old Rectory in Epworth, the birthplace of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, was also a keen gardener and supporter of Doncaster Rovers and the Dons rugby league team.
Said Dr Coleman: “He enjoyed a very long and happy retirement. He was a very nice fella - and always did his best for people and tried hard and was a real pillar of the community throughout his life.”
He leaves a wife Ann, three children Rachel, Joanne and Stephen and four grandchildren.
His funeral takes place on Thursday at Rose Hill Crematorium from 2pm.

My family has a quilt made up of 12 rows of 14 squares each. This is a hand made quilt with each square made by different friends and family of Martha Jane Barker Gallemore. Martha's parents were George Barker and Florence LOVE Barker. She married John E. Blankenship (He later married a Roxy Canada) Martha Later married Fred Gallemore and they moved to Glendora California for Freds health. Martha moved back to Seneca Newton County Missouri around the time this quilt was made. Some of the names (Children) did not live in Missouri.

Become a citizen journalist with Toonari Post today! Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:22:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 California Proposition 29 Fails by Less than One Percent Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:50:02 +0000 California’s attempt to raise the cigarette tax by $1.00 failed by less than a percentage point. 50.3 percent opposed the tax and 49.7 supported it. Proposition 29 planned to use the money generated from the tax to fund cancer research and anti-smoking programs, as well as replenish funds for anti-smoking campaigns. The hope was to raise around $700 million per year.
The initiative would raise the tax to $1.87 per pack, only the 16th highest in the country. However, raising taxes in other states, such as New York, has effectively lowered the amount of cigarettes bought, especially by young people. Medical News Today reports “Each ten percent increase in the price of a pack of cigarettes reduces youth smoking by about seven percent.” Officials speculated that the tax would lower youth smoking by 13.7 percent, along with convincing thousands of others to quit smoking, and a larger number never to start.
A previous cigarette tax, Proposition 86, which would have raised the tax by $2.60 per pack, was defeated in 2006. The tax has not been raised since 2000, holding the cigarette tax at $.87 for twelve years.
According to, supporters included Lance Armstrong and the Livestrong Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association and others. Opponents included the California Taxpayers Association, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity.
Phillip Morris led the Tobacco Companies on a massive campaign against the initiative, pumping millions of dollars into advertising that dropped support from two-thirds in March to less than half during the ballot reading on June 5.
According to the LA Times, Morris and his company conducted a classic “red herring” technique, diverting the attention away from the beneficial effects of the initiative and drew attention to where the money was going to go. They claim the goal of Proposition 29 is too narrow, and won’t solve many of the problems that California currently faces, such as a lack of funding for schools and roads. The Tobacco companies argued that cancer is only a small problem in comparison and that the money should be used in other ways to help the state.
Teresa Casazza of the California Taxpayers Association, said “Proposition 29’s good intentions are overshadowed by the fact that California simply cannot afford another billion-dollar government boondoggle to create another wasteful spending program.”
A majority of Californians support the tax for the obvious benefits, but enough were swayed by the opposing campaign to stop the law from passing.
Armstrong told the New York Times, “the defeat of this life saving initiative is a genuine tragedy. Big Tobacco lied to voters to protect its profits and spend $50 million to ensure it can continue peddling its deadly products to California kids.”
There is no doubt that the debate will continue with the next election and a new proposition in the hope of lowering the number of cigarette smokers.

More from YourTango: Your Plan For The Ultimate Romantic Date Night At Home
#1 - Unplug: Over 50% of women use a vibrator every time they masturbate. Many women begin to experience vibrator burn-out or vibrator dependence. Your body can get dependent on a vibrator to reach orgasm if you use the same toy in the same way every time. Try unplugging and ditching the vibrators for at least one month to give your body to regain sensitivity. It may take you longer to have an orgasm, but the time invested will be well worth it. You’ll wake up more sensation and become more responsive to your own stimulation and your lover’s touch.
#2 - Touch Your Entire Body: All too often women get clit-centric when it comes to self pleasuring. The clitoris will always be the centerpiece of your sexual stimulation, but learn how to masturbate while including your entire body for more full-body pleasure and broader sensations. Touch your own breasts, scratch your arms and legs, squeeze the base of your neck. Explore every inch of your skin and notice how sensation changes and what brings you more arousal. You’ll discover a few hot spots that you can then share with your lover to create more pleasure when you make love. While you are exploring your whole body, don’t leave out your entire vulva. The techniques we cover in our video Guide to Fingering are designed to activate and stimulate the entire female sexual system. While we designed the video to teach lovers how to pleasure women, it is also a great video to check out if you want to learn how to touch your own body with more creativity for maximum pleasure.

Property investors get money back
Property investors get money back
A full refund; no strings attached. Kipp’s excited for what this may mean for our property friends.
April 21, 2011 2:18 by
If you are frustrated property investors in Dubai please read this article. It will cheer you up and hopefully provide you with some much needed optimism. Yes we are talking about the momentous ruling by DIFC courts that ruled in favour of the Gaffneys—an Irish couple who won a Dh1.7 million refund on a Damac Properties unit that was not delivered on time.
The story goes all the way back in late 2004, when Noel and Lorna Gaffney bought apartment 602 in Tower B of Park Towers. They were initially promised their apartment in early 2008, which was later pushed to June 2009. Now, seven years on, construction is yet to be completed though the company promises to deliver the apartments later this year. Frustrating stuff. And no one feels it more than investors like Noel Gaffney, who said in a statement provided by his lawyers: “I feel I have been given false promises by their sales department and I know I am not alone in that regard. I am pleased to be able to get justice through the DIFC Courts.”
And justice, they did get. As per the ruling, the registrar of the DIFC Courts, signed an order requiring the refund of Dh1,781,009.01 to the couple within two weeks. Should Damac fail to cough up, they will be required to pay additional interest on the amount. Of course, the case was tried in the DIFC courts: regulated by a different set of laws than the rest of the emirate, but the verdict does set a precedent for similar cases in the free zone and Kipp is excited to see just where this will take the worried world of jaded investors.

I hope this sets a precedent in courts of RERA and Dubai Courts to help stuck Investors with Damac and other property developers who have sold properties in 2006 -2007 and yet to start construction.

View Full Version : Multiple craphic card rendering with PCI express
03-02-2004, 11:14 AM
I hope I'm not offtopic. If so pls close/delete the thread!
Because of the upcoming technology PCI express it will be possible to have more than one 3D graphic card in one PC.( know that this is possible today too but there are no really good cards with PCI (non-express) interface and PCI (non-express) is VERY slow.
So here are some question:
- Is it possible to get for each graphic card a device/rendering context and if so, how?
- Is there any possibility to transfer framebufferdata from one context into another (including color, depth and stencil data)? My idea was simply to split the rendering primitives to the 2 contexts and then merge them together.
I know that it is possible transfering the color and depth data to a texture and then write a simple fragment program to write the values in the "primary" context framebuffer. But is there (today) any way of doing that simpler? Maybe superbuffer extension will add support for such things.
- Are texture, display lists, ... shared between rendering contexts which don't have the same device context?
- The high-performance grapgic cars of NV (FX5950 Ultra) and ATI (Radeon 9800XT) cost about 450 euro. A middle class card (Radeon 9600XT or FX5700) cost about 160 euro. The middle class cards have about 70% - 80% of the performance compared to the high-performance cards.
So here's my idea: instead of buying a high-performance card you buy two middle class cards. If you add support for more craphic cards this will give you a performance bust of nearly 2. So you have about 140% performance for less money.
Ok, I know that developing such application surely costs resources but I think it will be profitable.
What do you think about that?
Florian Rudolf
[edit] spelling
[This message has been edited by Corrail (edited 03-02-2004).]

The specifics of creating a context are platform specific.
I'd assume that if a window is entirely on a single device (screen) then the driver for that screen gets to create the context. Thus, create one window per screen, and you'll get one context per screen.
On systems with "unified" drivers, and thus the same driver for each card across the slots (assuming the same manufacturer for all the cards) then a single window MIGHT be able to span more than one device, but I wouldn't depend on that.
Note that PCI Express comes in "x" variations, where the default is "1x" which is only 2x the speed of PCI; this is for regular expansion cards. The "16x" version for graphics cards requires more pins, and thus most controllers will probably just support one 16x slot, plus some number of 1x slots. After all, it's _possible_ to support more, but whether it's _economical_ is another matter... Maybe some workstation chips will come through for you.
03-02-2004, 02:17 PM
Multiple graphics cards per system have been touted as a killer feature of AGP3.0, too, but that never happened. I wouldn't expect it'll happen for PCI Express either. It's allowed by the spec, sure, but that doesn't mean there will be motherboards with two sixteen-lane slots.
Synchronization between separate cards isn't trivial. It's not the Voodoo 2 era anymore, where everything a graphics card had to do was rasterizing spans. Render to texture is one of the more obvious problems, but there are other subtle economical issues (like replicating vertex storage and processing without any performance gain in that area). It's just not that worthwhile.
Look at the dual chip Volari V8 Ultra and see how it stacks up to a single chip version. There's nowhere near enough performance gain for all the effort involved. And these are two chips on a single board.
One other thing I'd like to comment on is moving data between cards. AFAIK PCI Express is a star topology where every transfer between devices must pass through the host (the "northbridge" or something). This might turn out to be another bottleneck, depending on implementation. Ie, a single 16x card might possible saturate the "northbridge", even if it supports dual 16x slots.
03-03-2004, 07:23 AM
*hm* Thanks a lot... It seems like there are more problems as I thought...

Unsurprising, this has been going on for years and everyone involved in immigration knows that document fraud is rampant in Beijing. they should take these occupations off the list immediately, there are hardly any qualified candidates who use them and they are a magnet for fraudsters. the "cooks' have always been a visa problem, not only in Beijing, but also in New Delhi, as they are occupations easy to "document" through fraudulent means.
Fake Chinese chefs arriving in Ontario Canada News Toronto Sun
Fake Chinese chefs arriving in Ontario
By TOM GODFREY, Toronto Sun
Last Updated: March 9, 2011 5:54pm
Canadian Embassy officials in Beijing have turned up the heat on Chinese nationals posing as chefs to fraudulently obtain visas to enter Canada under a provincial work program.
The so-called Chinese dim sum and gourmet cooks use phoney letters they claim are from Canadian restaurants offering them a job because of their skill.
The letters are given to embassy officials to obtain a visa under a provincial nominee program since there is a demand for the cooks in Ontario.
Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by lawyer Richard Kurland show smugglers are abusing the program to slip people into Canada.
“Beijing has experienced a consistent incidence of fraud for cases submitted under the provincial nominee category,” said a report that was drafted by immigration official, Francesca Imperato.
The April 2010 “Fraud in the Provincial Nominee Program in Beijing” report said in 2009, about 129 cases were refused visas due to misrepresentation.
“The most common occupation where fraud was identified was that of cooks with a total of 36 fraudulent cases,” Imperato said.
The report said visa officers in Beijing were busy in 2009 by intercepting eight bogus welders, six fake electricians and three phoney business managers, many of whom had letters of employment promised by some Ontario firms that did not exist.
“In 2009 the misrepresentation was determined as a result of field investigations an or by telephone verifications,” the report said, adding the remaining fraudulent cases involved lower skilled occupations.
The immigration scam involving phoney chefs first surfaced in 1998 when Canadian Embassy staffers in Bejing began encountering a rash of fraudulent cooking certificates.
Many of the chefs arrive here and claim refugee status or head to the U.S., officials said.
Kurland said its about time Ottawa crack down on the illegal workers.
“Immigration officials can check a degree or diploma but they can’t check if someone is a dim sum chef,” Kurland said. “The workers are being given a heads up that the government is checking their documents.”
About 1,000 foreign workers are brought to work yearly in Ontario under the nominee program.
Canada also requires police officers, journalists, machinists, truck drivers, secretaries, dressmakers and accountants, according to the 2011 national occupations list.

Post game chat with Bonner
With Rajon Rondo leading the way with a triple-double (12 points, 22 assists, 10 rebounds) and Ray Allen scoring 31 points off 13 for 16 shooting, the Celtics handed the Spurs their sixth loss of the season wo were without Kevin Garnett who was out of action due to a calf injury.
After the game, I caught up with Spurs’ forward Matt Bonner to discuss the loss to the Celtics.
Jeff: This was a great game but unfortunately the Spurs came out on the losing end. What happened in the final possession? Was it just poor execution or something the Celtics did defensively?
Matt: Was a little of both. It didn’t work out. They did a good job of recognizing what we were trying to do and taking it away.
Many felt this game tonight could be a sneak preview of the NBA Finals.
It would be awesome just to be in the Finals and if it’s against the Celtics for me personally it would be a bonus. But that’s a long ways away and a lot of hard work and luck in between.
Was there any hangover from the loss to the New York Knicks in tonight’s game against the Celtics?
I don’t think so. I know we got off to a little bit of a slow start but we picked it up and played hard and gave it our all. Ray Allen was on fire. We made Glen Davis make jump shots and he did. They beat us. They were the better team.
Crazy ending to this game. If I were to have told you before the game that Ray Allen would miss two free-throws when the game was on the line would you have believed me?
(laughs) Yeah that was crazy! Especially how well he shot all game.
Next for the Spurs will be a game against the Indiana Pacers. Your outlook heading into that matchup after two tough losses.
Back to the drawing board. It’s another game. Play hard and execute our game plan and try to get a win.

Comprising unpredictable weapons expert Blaster (Morgan), alluring martial arts expert Juarez (Cruz), stealthy reconnaissance expert Mooch and an IT expert mole named Speckles (Cage), this crack team of agents is fronted by the heroic Darwin (Rockwell).

Vargas House, Mexico by Isaac Broid Arquitecto | via
Towards the roads and neighboring buildings: a concrete block with few openings. Towards the distant landscape and the golf course: a series of volumes that frame the view towards infinity.
Rusty steel bodies, separated from each other to allow the “natural” to be introduced into the architecture, or to dissolve it between endogenous vegetation, proposing no precise boundary between “built” and the landscape, even if the latter is also man-made.
The same happens in section. The roof of the public spaces is manifested as a continuation of the surrounding vegetation, allowing users the sense of being in an open space beyond the limits of the property.

"Allied Works was commissioned to design a residence, guesthouse and private gallery on 400 acres in Dutchess County, New York. Located on the eastern slopes of the Hudson River Valley, the site consists of rolling hills, open meadow and dense hardwood forest. Each of the three buildings responds to a particular landscape. Collectively, the estate and its three primary structures create a range of sensory experiences and sites for artistic interpretation."

bookshelves: angels-demons-heaven-hell, paranormal, ya, books-i-own
Read on June 28, 2012
This was a great read! The author drew my attention from page one and she definitely didn't disappoint. The story centers around a teenage girl named Ivy who is attacked by Jake; a boy who she thought was her shy, cute boyfriend. Ivy is rescued by Eric, a boy from her biology class, who tells Ivy that he is a Martis, a heavenly warrior, and Ivy is one too. Eric tells Ivy that their job is to rid the world of Valefars, humans turned into evil immortal beings by drinking demon blood. As if that isn't enough of a shock for Ivy, she quickly finds out from a friend that she is the prophetical Damned One, a person who is both Martis and Valefar who will open the gates of Hell.
The only problems that I had with this book was the fact that Ivy was a little slow to catch on to things, and the fact that she didn't let people in on her secrets and what she was thinking. Ivy seemed like the type of person who kept everything in and did things on her own. I was just waiting for things to come crashing down on her. She was also very oblivious to certain things in the book. I got to a point where I just wanted to say pay attention to your friends, isn't there something fishy about them?
One of my favorite characters in this book was Collin. Oh my, where do I start with him? Collin is Ivy’s best friend, and her high school’s bad boy. Between the two characters there was SO much tension! Their friendship was the type that left me wondering why they weren’t in a couple-like relationship already. I was so rooting for the two of them to finally get together.
I really enjoyed this book and liked how the author didn't waste time getting into the main plot. I felt Demon Kissed was a fast paced easy to read book. This book had quite a bit of a cliffhanger ending that definitely left me wanting more. I wonder how the author will continue the next book in this series and I can’t wait to read it! :D

Valero restarts Louisiana plant and watches Ike
Valero Energy’s main units at its St. Charles refinery near New Orleans were fired up again over the weekend after being shut down for a week as Hurricane Gustav approached. “The refinery is gradually returning to planned rates,” spokesman Bill Day said today.
That’s good news for fuel prices on the Gulf Coast, but now Hurricane Ike’s churning away over Cuba. So Valero’s keeping a close eye on that storm now. “As its path becomes more defined, Valero refineries will take appropriate measures to protect equipment,” Day said.
Also, Valero’s plants in Houston, Texas City and Port Arthur, which cut back because of Gustav, are running at regular rates again, Day said. Also, Valero’s Memphis refinery is processing more crude oil after operating at reduced rates when Gustav forced a pipeline to close.

04-16-2015 09:59 AM
clnzx4 That's what I thought. I need to program it and get a dash harness then I should be good to go.
04-16-2015 09:48 AM
LikwidZX5 I believe you will have to take it to the dealership. If he would've given you at least one key, you might have been able to reprogram your others. But with no key, the PATS system won't let you start the car without the correct signal from the key to the computer IIRC.
04-16-2015 09:18 AM
clnzx4 Question.. When I bought my 2.3, the guy sent me the computer but no key. I've been told I have to get my key programmed to the new computer, but I've also been told I don't. Can anyone give me some insight on this? I'd like to save my $114 if I don't have to take it to the dealership to get it programmed.

The United States has said it will reject any proposals to surrender control of the internet to the United Nations.
In December 2012, the United Nations will hold the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT), where it will review and potentially revise the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) treaty.
This treaty hasn't been updated since 1988, but a lot has changed in the world of telecoms in the intervening years. Not only has the internet expanded dramatically but we've seen new technologies like packet switching and mobile roaming.
But some are calling for the treaty to be given more than a quick modernisation. Some nations are calling for control of the internet's technical specifications to be taken away from a select group of non-profit US companies, and handed over to the UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
But Terry Kramer, head of the US delegation to the WCIT, doesn't agree. "The United States believes that the existing multi-stakeholder institutions, incorporating industry and civil society, have functioned effectively and will continue to ensure the health and growth of the internet and all of its benefits," he said.
He's talking about institutions like the California-based ICANN -- the International Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers, which regulates domain names.
Kramer also said that the current treaty has served the internet -- domestically, and in the international market -- well. "We want to preserve the flexibility contained in the current ITRs, which has helped create the conditions for rapid evolution of telecommunications technologies and markets around the world," he said.
The US is also concerned that the switch could see "greater regulatory burdens being placed on the international telecom sector, or perhaps even extended to the internet sector." Plus, "we will not support any effort to broaden the scope of the ITRs to facilitate any censorship of content or blocking the free flow of information and ideas,"
The ITU has not published submissions from any country, but a number of proposals have allegedly been leaked to a site called According to the site, Russia is one nation that is pushing for control of, at least some of, the internet to be handed over the UN.
A spokesperson for the ITU has told BBC News that any changes to the treaty must have unanimous support, and the agency would block any attempts to put the matter to a vote.

1. Some suggest that the UN is designed as a 'world government' controlled by the ultra-rich global elite. Ceding more power to the UN is potentially a very bad idea indeed.

Movies: Pink Narcissus
Pink Narcissus
Amidst the sumptuous pink satin, teenage beauty Bobby Kendall falls into a deep slumber of erotic reverie, entering the glorious realm of sexual fantasy--living in a dream world of fantastic colors, magnificent music, elaborate costumes and strikingly handsome men. He imagines himself as a Roman slave chosen by the emperor, as a triumphant matador vanquishing the bull, an innocent wood nymph gamboling in the woods, a harem boy in the tent of a sheik. But reality constantly intrudes through the depraved lives of the other street people, especially the visits from the johns. His narcissism is marred by one great fear--growing old and losing his looks. Rated No Rating .
