I've been watching movies of the legally endorsed gay marriages in California, and for the first time in a very long while, I'm feeling hopeful about the future of this country. An America that embraces marriage equality is an America that, for example, would think twice before torturing as a standard procedure. But more selfishly, I'm hoping that the gays, by setting a good example, will save the breeders from themselves.
You see, in the last 40 years, heterosexuals have systematically ruined everything that makes weddings worthwhile.
It all started when some anonymous jerk decided he wanted to get married wearing a Star Trek outfit. That anonymous jerk's wife, perhaps tired of fighting against Kirk posters and Spock dolls and all other things Vulcan and Romulan and Tribble, wearily nodded: Yes, she said, she would dress up like Uhura for a bridal outfit.
Since that day, when the most solemn bond that two human beings can forge was decorated in the style and language of a silly science- fiction television show, heteros have been merrily fucking up weddings in bigger, gaudier, and tackier fashions with each passing year. People are married on roller coasters, while scuba diving, and at Elvis-themed chapels. Brides and grooms have been dressed as superheroes, Hobbits, and Star Wars characters. Childhood dreams of being a princess are dragged out and put on display, embarrassingly, for everyone to see. For four decades, and with increasing avarice, we breeders have done everything we could to make the sacrament of marriage something cheap, like a casino attraction.
Like everyone else with a working human heart, I've been profoundly touched by the exultant stories of gay marriage that have been told in the last few years, in Massachusetts and now in California. Couples that have passionately and patiently loved each other, some for more than half a century, are finally having their love officially recognized as more than a freakish sex bond between second-class citizens. History will show, and possibly sooner than we think, that these citizens of the United States are right to want to publicly declare their love, and those who have opposed same-sex marriage were fighting for a monstrous, antihuman cause. But on a more personal level, I believed that gays would bring class back to marriage—surely, those who have fought so hard for so long would have some respect for the mythic power and dignity of the ceremony?
Then, last year, Disney announced that it was hosting commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples in the same places—Cinderella's castle, if you're wealthy enough—as straight couples. A call to Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton confirms that they will happily host gay commitment ceremonies on the bridge of the USS Enterprise (with your choice of Federation, Klingon, Andorian, Borg, or Vulcan attendants, and with an optional catered dinner featuring appetizers like "Moogie's Famous Ferengi Flat Bread" or "the Holy Rings of Betazed," which is a tower of onion rings), and my hopes for the sanctity of the ceremony being restored by gay couples evaporated.
One of the first signs that gay marriage has passed the threshold of popular acceptance came last year, when GLAAD announced that every single state in the union has newspapers that run same-sex union announcements. Three-quarters of all U.S. newspaper readers regularly read a paper that carries gay-wedding announcements. But as anyone who's read the New York Times wedding announcement section understands, unwise couples frequently turn these blurbs into the dead-tree-and-ink equivalent of making out with someone while in line at an all-you-can-eat buffet. These announcements have become windows into how quickly gay couples have adopted the sheer geeky disrespect for marriage that it's taken straight nerds decades to develop.
The wedding announcements in Bay Windows, a Boston-based gay alternative weekly, are just as embarrassing as the straight counterparts: A couple boasts of meeting for the first time at a Fuddruckers restaurant in Natick, and their first dance was to Celine Dion's "At Last." Another pair of men were married in matching Utilikilts. "He's turned me into a raving Trekkie," one man exclaims in his public announcement of eternal devotion to his husband, "And every night we watch Voyager or Deep Space Nine or something like that. And that's our little quality time together, the only thing we're really both rabid about."
One lesbian couple in England proudly sent photos of their wedding cake, which was fashioned to look like the Death Star in the Star Wars films, to local news outlets, and the cake made the internet rounds. The bakery initially refused to fashion a wedding cake in the image of a fictional device that killed billions of people until one of the brides huffed, "Look, it's my big gay wedding and we want a Death Star!"
It doesn't have to be this way, gays. I was relying on you, and it's still not too late for you to save the wedding as a meaningful, important cultural institution.
Listen: I am not a religious man. Never once, from the day of my birth until today, have I even entertained the concept that there was anything remotely resembling a God or an afterlife. You might wonder why I should care about how people get married, a ceremony that has primarily been a religious rite for six millennia. But I do care; I get weepy at good weddings faster than many of the matronly ladies in the shiny peach dresses.
It's the ceremony that really does it for me. There are so few meaningful ceremonies in modern life (eighth-grade graduations and other manufactured feel-good achievement-fests don't count), and this one meaningful chance for you to celebrate an actual, bona fide rite of passage is too good, and too important, to mess up. Calling all your friends and family into one place to ritualistically announce that you're going to make this person you love a member of your family, and love and care for that person until the day you die, is some serious shit. Entire bloodlines are forever bound together; strangers are made into kin. For one day—one day in your entire life!—you can put away the Barbie cake toppers and napkins with Garfield printed on them and act like a goddamned adult.
It's still early in this historic hour; millions of gay couples around the country and the world will one day marry. As has always been the case, as with fashion and slang and dance music, heteros will look to the gay community for their cues. For heaven's sake, gay people: Set a better example for us than we have set for you. You are declaring your love to the world. Show a little self-respect: Leave the pointy ears and laser guns at home, in private, where they belong.

Whether you're living in a college dorm and you want to keep tabs on all of your belongings or you're working in an office where your stapler always seems to go inexplicably missing from your desk, having a good label maker can go a long way. This is also useful for when you have multiple seemingly similar items and you want an easy to differentiate between them.
Going well beyond the basic traditional label makers is the Brother QL-570 Professional Label Printer. Instead of working as a standalone product with very little customization, the QL-570 works just like a regular printer that you'd connect to your computer. While it may not be quite as convenient as the handheld equivalent, you get many more features and options with this package.
Inside the box, you get the Brother Label Printer itself, a USB cable, a power cable, the supporting documentation, a cleaning sheet, installation CD, and a pair of starter rolls of thermal paper. The QL-570 doesn't use any ink, relying instead on this thermal paper. After it prints your label, you can peel off the backing and use the sticker-style label immediately.
Retailing for just over $60, the Brother QL-570 is quite affordable, especially since it comes with two rolls of DK thermal paper. The wider roll is a continuous strip of label paper measuring 58mm across and the narrower roll offers several consecutive address labels.
Measuring 20.8 x 13.5 x 14.2 cm, this Professional Label Printer offers up to 300 x 600 dpi resolution, speeds of up to 68 labels per minute, compatibility for both PC and Mac, and included software to create all sorts of labels. The P-touch Label Creation software is good for making shipping labels, name badges, folder labels, and more.
While the handheld label makers will only output a single line of text in only one font style and size, the Brother QL-570 acts just like a normal inkjet or laser printer. You can print images, albeit only in black and white, as well as all kinds of text.
Setup and configuration is very easy and I really like the design for slotting in the thermal paper. On the right side of the roll, you'll see a vertical wedge that fits perfectly into a slot in the printer. The left side fits into a series of slots closer to the front of the printer too, so it doesn't matter if you have the size that spans the width of the printer or you're using a narrower version.
Looking at the build quality of this printer, you won't get anything that resembles anything near the top of the line. The plastic can feel quite cheap, but it's not like you need this device to be particularly rugged. You also have to realize that it's only a $60 product.
The print quality is a little hit or miss. Since it uses thermal paper, there is no time needed for the ink to dry. There's no ink. This also makes for a remarkably smooth and clean surface for your labels. Text comes out quite crisp and you can use whatever fonts you'd like. The software allows for integration with Word, Excel, and Outlook as well.
Images can be printed, either on their own or as background images to text, but they do only come in grayscale. I wouldn't want to use a photo that has too much detail to it, but this kind of functionality is good for basic pictures and company logos.
All in all, I'm quite pleased with the Brother QL-570 Professional Label Printer. The setup process is easy, the footprint is small enough to fit on nearly any desk, and the software is very robust. The auto-cut feature when you print out a label is very handy too. I wish there was a way to use it without a computer though.

Nvidia introduces support for 3.11 and newer kernels
A week after releasing a new Beta driver 331.17 which didn't compile by default on kernels >=3.11 Nvidia finally releases support for latest kernels in form of official patches that can be applied to the existing Nvidia driver installers. As of now the support is limited due to changes introduced by the Linux kernel starting with 3.11 and there are downsides in using these latest drivers on recent kernels running on machines with 128GB+ of RAM memory.
The patches work on all current development branches 304, 319 and 325-331 and they are not needed for the latest release of the legacy driver for Geforce FX series which added compatibility with recent kernels with 173.14.37.
Unlike other unofficial patches that needed to be applied against the unpacked Nvidia installer, the official patches can be passed as arguments to the installer and doing that generates a brand new custom installer. It is not clear to me why hasn't Nvidia released official installers instead, but as they have stated all future driver installers will incorporate these patches.
I tried compiling both the latest driver from the long-lived branch as well as the beta one and had no issues with either. This is what I had to do on my Fedora 19 x86_64 running kernel 3.11 (the instructions are fairly similar for any Linux OS):
download the official Nvidia patches for kernel 3.11+
The patches are available here. Download them to your preferred location e.g. ~/Downloads/NVIDIA/
extract the patches from the tar archive
cd ~/Downloads/NVIDIA/ tar xf get_num_physpages_patches.tar
download the Nvidia drivers, patch them and run the custom installer
For 319.60 (64-bit):
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/319.60/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run --apply-patch get_num_physpages_319.patch sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60-custom.run
For 331.17 (64-bit):
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/331.17/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.17.run sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.17.run --apply-patch get_num_physpages_325-331.patch sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.17-custom.run
That's it, both drivers compile fine and register with dkms without issues.

I've been a conscious consumer for several years now and buying second hand was usually my preferred method of acquiring "new" to me items. However, underwear is a little different as I would prefer, like most of you, to buy new. Finding sustainable and ethical underwear at first was a little difficult. Since then, I have found several brands for you when it comes time to replace your holey undergarments. Don't throw them out though! There are many things you can do with worn-out textiles.
Underwear, like many other types of clothing, is notorious for ending up in landfills after they wear out.
The environmental impact of our clothing choices doesn't stop at the disposable fast fashion shirts, dresses, pants, shoes, handbags, and whatever else society is so obsessed with. This also includes the articles of clothing others don't see if ya know what I mean.
I use to buy my underwear from a famous lingerie store who is now avowed to use child labor like so many other fast fashion brands who value profit over people. I'm looking at you, Victoria's Secret. Oops your secrets out and it's child exploitation.
As my old underwear wear out, I've started replacing them with sustainable and ethical underwear options. These will last longer and are not made at the expense of the workers or planet.

Toyota recalls 5.8 million cars worldwide to fix faulty airbags
Toyota Motor Corporation is recalling over 5.8 million cars worldwide to fix faulty airbags manufactured by Takata Corporation. Toyota states that the airbags do not have the required drying agent to prevent the buildup of moisture which in turn causes the airbags to explode, spraying shrapnel into the car's cabin. Over 100 instances have been reported globally, and over 12 people have died due to these explosions.
Takata uses ammonium nitrate in its inflators which become unstable over long periods of exposure to moisture and heat. The manufacturer switched from tetrazole to ammonium nitrate in 2001. Ammonum nitrate is highly unstable and can explode violently. The chemical is cheap which makes it desirable for manufacturers.
The affected cars were produced between May 2000 and November 2001, and April 2006 and December 2014. Ironically, the cars manufactured between May 2000 and November 2001 had been also recalled in 2010 to fix an airbag issue. Around 20,000 cars were fitted with new airbags, which lacked the drying agent.
A statement released by Toyota says that the recall affects about 1.16 million vehicles sold in Japan, about 820,000 cars sold in China, and around 1.47 million cars in Europe. Popular models such as the Corolla, Yaris, Hilux (Fortuner), and Etios sedan and hatchback are in the list of affected models. We've spoken to officials from Toyota India, and they will confirm if the Etios range as well as the Corolla and Fortuners that were manufactured in India are also part of the global recall. We will update this story as soon as we get a confirmation.
Takata has increased production of new airbags to help the carmaker meet the recall requirements. It is also looking for investors to pump in some money to keep its factories running and meet the demand. Takata is also expected to reimburse the carmaker a small fraction of the costs involved in the whole recall process.
Airbags deploy by means of a propellant. When car sensors detects a crash, a chemical reaction is triggered by a propellant. A block of chemicals sits inside a flattened metal canister until heated up, which then makes these chemicals expand gaseously when the airbag needs to inflate. Vents at the back of the airbag allow the gases to escape, preventing the bag from blowing up. All of this happens in a matter of milliseconds.

For the first time in a long time (10 months or so I think), I have my telescope seutp and getting acclimated out back. I probably won't be out long, but I've had the itch lately to get back out beneath the stars. If you're in my area, come on by for a look!
2 thoughts on "Setup"
The last time I think you setup your telescope was when we went camping. I'll never forget that trip. I spider scared the sh*t out of me. Literally, scared the sh*t out of me.

Pa., May 6.—Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night a terrible acei - dent occurred on the Philadelphia & Read - ing Rai lroad between this place and Loonat Qap. A freight traiu consisting of 75 ears bound for Williamsport, became diaconneoted by the breaking of a coupling, and the engine and three cars ran half a mile before the crew discovered that the train was divided. The first section awaited the arrival of the second at the foot of a heavy grade, and the two brakemen losing control of the second section, it (lashed into the first section, causing an explosion in the third car, which was loaded with Dnpont powder. At the scene of the acui - dent the railroad runs along a steep hill, at the bottom of which stood two rows of honseu occupied by the Philadelphia Sc. Reading Coal and Iron Companle's employee. On the hillside stood a little cottage oooupied by John Qain and family of four children, two boys and two girls. Tha force of the oxplosion wrecked the buildings, 17 in all, and the stoves sat lire to the ruins. Qain and his two little girls were burned to death. The two boys escaped with burns. Simon Kerwick's family consisted of Mary and Willie Cavanaugh, adopted children, agod respectively 8 and I I years, Daniel Kerwick aged J, Alice Kerwick, aged ">, and his wife and a new born babe. Mr. Kerwick carried his wife from the burning building, but the children were burned to death. Thirty persons were injured, several of whom were sent to the Miners' Hospital. In all 1'2 oars were destroyed and 17 houses with their furniture. All the windows in the Locust Gap churches and schools were broken and the doors blown oil'. In Mt. Carmel large store windows were broken. The total loss is estimated at 575,000. Wrecking crews have tlio road open again for travel.

She spoke of her husband as a good man, of whom no such thing could be tiuthfully said. Mrs Charlotte Holman, wife of the Hoi man who lives here, was astonished when she heard the Btory. Her husband left He said to the detective, who was playing the part of a murderer for hire, ho wanted Miss Emiueline put out of the way. He told the officer where she livtd, gave him a key to her room, handed him her piotnre, told him on which side oi 'the bed she generally lay, she having a l.uly roommate, and also gave him apian of the room. He also suggested that as there were three gold watches in the room he had better take them, so that robbery would be ascribed as the motive, and he also as an easy way to kill the woman that a darning needle be run through her heart. The murderer was to reoeive £1,000. His reason for wanting his sister out of the way was that he feared she was going to be married and that be would lose all the property. A despatch from Worcester, Mass., says: Emmeline B. Holman, whose murder is said to have been planned by her brother, Luther W. Ilolmon, in Boston was seen today and professed entire ignorance of the matter. She was aware of no possible motive for the horrible deed, and wns greatly shocked at the tidings. She said her brother Lather and his family came with her after the death of Moses Holman the father, in Deoember, 1887. The family lived there until April 1, when they moved to Goldeu street. Beside her brother there were his wife, three sons and two daughters, Emmeline bad no quarrel with Luther. He said that certain unnamed persons suggested to him some months ago to have his sister robbed of certain papers; this failed, and then they suggested to him that biB sister be killed. They agreed to iind a man to do the job, and a few days ago a well-known faro player of Boston telegraphed him at Springfield that the assassin bad been found. He came to Boston, and the negotiations which led to his arrost followed. In m interview with Chief Inspector Hantcom, Holman said be did not think he was doing anything that would render him liable to punishment, "I thought the blame would all rest upon the man who did the job," said he. "I did not think it would get me mi xed up in it any more than to hire m tmvn to cut wood." The firs*: man that lie approached on the subject informed the police, and two police officers disguised as roughs conducted the subsequent negotiations until they had conclusive evidence against him, inclnding a proraisscry note for $1,000. Holman declares the whole affair is a conspiracy of enemies of his who led him on to these negotiations in order to get him into trouble. Boston, May 4.—All the element* of a Shakespearean tragedy an included in a murder plot made publio to-day by the ar- rest of the chief conspirator, who is Luther W. Holman, a real estate agent of this city and Worcester. His proposed victim was his half sister, Emily, who has become the object of his hate because she received a larger share than he of the estate of their father, who died four months agi.

Lamar's foxy gambit on billboards
To the Editor:
We've all heard about the fox and the henhouse: when the fox makes the rules, there's going to be trouble in the henhouse. We've heard it because the world is full of foxes and the foxes keep trying, hoping that the chickens are too stupid to see what's about to happen to them.
To understand how the latest incarnation of this age old gambit is playing out right here in Petersburg, we need to know something about Petersburg's existing sign ordinance. In 1991, Petersburg City Council, with great foresight, amended our sign ordinance to make billboards "prohibited signs." As a result, after 1991 Lamar Outdoor Advertising (the dominant billboard company in our area) has been prohibited from erecting a single new billboard in a new location in Petersburg. All Lamar can do is maintain its existing billboard inventory right where it was in 1991.
Unfortunately for Lamar, the costs for maintaining billboards in those old locations have increased. At the same time, revenues have not done the same, except along Petersburg's most heavily travelled corridor, Interstate 95. As a result, in just the last few years, Lamar has pulled up and thrown away 24 of its unprofitable inner city Petersburg billboards - because Lamar found it to be in its own economic interest to do so. Thirty-eight remain.
With this as background, let's return to what the fox has proposed for us Petersburg chickens. Lamar's lobbyist has re-written Petersburg's sign ordinance and is asking City Council to pass it. The proposal did not come from Petersburg City Council or from the Petersburg City Administration. It allows Lamar to erect one new electronic billboard within Petersburg's I-95 corridor for every billboard it removes from Petersburg's inner city. City Council will vote on March 2.
Electronic billboards are the great cash cows of the billboard industry's future, with 10 second ads charging more than $3,700 per month per ad (according to Lamar's own web site). Do the math. Times six per minute. Times 12 months per year. Times two because double sided. Tawdry. So bright and enticing that they are hard to ignore. Distractions from safe driving.
Perhaps you wonder whether we might somehow help Petersburg businesses if Lamar had more billboards in Petersburg on I-95. If so, dismiss that thought quickly. Drive up and down Petersburg's I-95 corridor and see for yourself. You will find six billboards (three southbound, three northbound, paired together) on which 13 businesses advertise. One is a Petersburg motel, advertising on one-third of one billboard. The other 12 are in Colonial Heights, Prince George, Chesterfield, and Sussex. Their ads direct business away from Petersburg. Why would we want more?
Would we somehow help Petersburg's historic districts if we allowed Lamar to exchange an old billboard within an historic district for a new electronic billboard on I-95? Let's see. Only two Lamar billboards are located within a Petersburg historic district. One is on East Washington Street, next to a car detailing business, in the same block with the Chamber of Commerce. The other is on Fleet Street, near Campbell's Bridge. Would it be nice to get rid of them both? Sure, and if Lamar really cared about Petersburg it would voluntarily take them both down. But if the cost of getting rid of an old billboard within an historic district is a new electronic billboard on I-95, why would we want to do that?
Yet if Lamar's lobbyist gets his way, there they will be, essentially indestructible and "in our face" for generations to come. Imagine this. As we cross the Appomattox River southbound on I-95 and gaze to our right to see the town we love, Lamar will be waiting for us. We will want to see the village of Pocahontas and the skyline of Petersburg beyond. Instead we will see an electronic billboard, depicting a vixen who invites us to turn around and share the evening at the Paper Moon, the "premiere gentleman's club." After all, the Paper Moon is an existing Lamar customer whose billboard now beckons northbound traffic on I-95 just south of the Maury Street exit in Richmond. Or maybe Petersburg will be fortunate, and only Hooter's (another Lamar customer, this one in facing northbound traffic on I-95 in Chesterfield County) will welcome us home.
But we chickens have a choice. If Petersburg City Council stays the course that City Council began in 1991, with time Lamar will pull up and throw away more and more inner city Petersburg billboards, because it is in Lamar's economic interest to do so. With time Petersburg will have fewer and fewer billboards and they will be less and less a part of what we see as we go about our daily lives.
In short, Petersburg is already on the right course. Petersburg's sign ordinance is "broke" only for the fox. For us chickens, it's working great! Stay the course. Stay with the decision that City Council made in 1991. In just the last few years, 24 down. Thirty-eight to go. Contact your representative on Petersburg City Council today and deliver this message: when you vote on March 2, tell Lamar no!

Trekathon 505: Message in a Bottle (VOY)September 22nd, 2012
Voyager finds a way to phone home.
It's very nearly halfway through Voyager as a series, so I suppose it's time to contact home. The network they use is a bit implausible (it just happens to start near their location, and finish near the Federation), but it was good to finally force the Doctor to do something all on his own, with no support.
While I suspect the tone of the EMH Mark 1/EMH Mark 2 bickering wouldn't work for a lot of people, personally I found it quite funny. Some of the better comedic writing in a while. It was also good that the emphasis was on them winning the day despite their ineptness, rather than on any implausible piece of luck along the way.
505 down, 232 to go.

text: Ok, so I have my home office set up where my 3 desktop pc's share an internet connection through a hard wired router in the same room. I'm thinking of going wireless for my desktops to get rid of all the external wires. I'm having difficulty understanding the difference between a wireless router and a wireless access point? They seem to perform the same function. Can someone enlighten me? Like I said, I'm thinking of going wireless for my 3 desktops which are all in the same room, but will eventually get a notebook where I'd like to roam around the house wireless connected to the internet and/or possibly moving some of my desktops to other parts of my house. Thanks anyone.

Nat Hentoff / The Village Voice – 2005-05-23 22:20:43
US law and international conventions bar sending prisoners to another nation unless there are strong assurances of humane treatment. The CIA says with a straight face that it gets those assurances before delivering suspects to jailers in Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Pakistan — countries that have such abysmal human rights records that promises of decent treatment are a joke.
— Los Angeles Times editorial, March 11
But of course they're out of control, there's only so much we can do.
— Porter Goss, director of Central Intelligence, quoted by Democratic congressman Edward Markey of Massachusetts in a letter to his colleagues, March 8
NEW YORK (April 15, 2005) — During a White House press conference on March 16, George W. Bush was asked: "Mr. President, can you explain why you've approved of and expanded the practice of what's called 'rendition' — of transferring individuals out of US custody to countries where human rights groups and your own State Department say torture is common for people under custody?"
The president: "[In] the post-9-11 world, the United States must make sure we protect our people and our friends from attack…. One way to do so is to arrest people and send them back to their country of origin with the promise that they won't be tortured. That's the promise we receive. This country does not believe in torture."
Question: "As commander in chief, what is it that Uzbekistan can do in interrogating an individual that the United States can't?"
George W. Bush repeated his talking point: "We seek assurances that nobody will be tortured."
US Ran Regular Torture Flights to Uzbekistan
Actually, there is much that US interrogators can learn from their counterparts in Uzbekistan on how to break down prisoners. One of the CIA's jet planes used to render purported terrorists to other countries — where information is extracted by any means necessary — made 10 trips to Uzbekistan. In a segment of CBS's 60 Minutes on these CIA torture missions (March 5), former British ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray told of the range of advanced techniques used by Uzbek interrogators:
"drowning and suffocation, rape was used … and also immersion of limbs in boiling liquid."
Two nights later on ABC's World News Tonight, Craig Murray told of photos he received of an Uzbek interrogation that ended with the prisoner actually being boiled to death!
Murray, appalled, had protested to the British Foreign Office in a confidential memorandum leaked to and printed in the Financial Times on October 11 of last year:
"Uzbek officials are torturing prisoners to extract information [about reported terrorist operations], which is supplied to the US and passed through its Central Intelligence Agency to the UK, says Mr. Murray." (Emphasis added.)
Prime Minister Tony Blair quickly reacted to this undiplomatic whistle-blowing. Craig Murray was removed as ambassador to Uzbekistan.
On the BBC (October 15), Steve Crawshaw, director of the London office of Human Rights Watch, spoke plainly about George W. Bush's continual, ardent assurances that this country would never engage in torture:
"You can't wash your hands and say we didn't torture, but we will use what comes out of torture."
Doublespeak from the UberSpook
CIA director Porter Goss also engages in what George Orwell called doublespeak. Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 17, Porter Goss said, "The United States does not engage in or condone torture."
As for our ally Uzbekistan, run by the merciless dictator Islam Karimov, Philip Stephens, a forthright columnist for the Financial Times, noted on October 19:
"Uzbekistan provides a vital base for US operations in neighbouring Afghanistan. US financial aid [to Uzbekistan] provides a bulwark against Russian influence." And — dig this — an October 16 Financial Times editorial points out that because the Bush administration supports the barbaric government of President Karimov, the US "has given [Karimov] the confidence to sell a long-running campaign against internal dissidents as part of the campaign against Al Qaeda." (Emphasis added.)
In 2003, Fatima Mukhadirova sent photographs of her son—who was tortured to death in an Uzbek prison—to the British embassy. As reported in Muslim Uzbekistan (February 12, 2004): "His teeth were smashed, his fingers were stripped of nails, and his body had been cut, bruised and scalded." His mother was put on trial "for attempted encroachment on the constitutional order" to convince her to shut up about what was done to her son. (She was subsequently convicted and sentenced to six years in prison.)
Meanwhile, Porter Goss told the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 17 that one of the CIA's own techniques, waterboarding, is "an area of what I call professional interrogation techniques."
As Reed Brody, special counsel for Human Rights Watch, noted in a March 21 letter to The New York Times: "Waterboarding, known in Latin America as the submarino, entails forcibly pushing a person's head under water until he believes he will drown. In practice, he often does. Waterboarding can be nothing less than torture in violation of United States and international law.
"Mr. Goss, by justifying the practice as a form of professional interrogation, renders dubious his broader claim that the CIA is not practicing torture today."
I cannot resist repeating what George W. Bush said on the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture (June 26, 2003): "The United States is committed to the worldwide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States … in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture."
Let's start at home.

In recent weeks, we've been getting into the swing of things at our new space.
When Tilt Shift first began, we dreamt of beautiful things – modern decor with nods to western simplicity and practicality. As most good things do, it took time to realize this dream and shape our vision. After spending the last year helping others create their brands, we decided it was time to further our own.
This brings us to the topic of space; your physical location – and making yours work for you, not against you. When crafting our new space, we had a few important considerations:
- Versatility to hold meetings, events, and photoshoots, all while being able to have a "cave time" for concentrated design
- Moveability; giving us the ability to rotate workspaces and change things around at the drop of a dime depending on creative needs, and
- Aesthetics to delight and inspire us
After going through this process, we thought we'd pass along our thoughts – tips, even – for you to consider when creating your own unique work environment.
Make it 100% you.
First off – timing is everything! Make sure your brand is up to date and well thought out before investing your hard earned money on changes to your work space. It's important to think about what your brand does, says, and how you want it to be perceived within your community. Once you've got this figured out, create a plan to execute wisely and effectively.
Make sure it appeals to your target audiences
This goes hand-in-hand with making it you. The clients you attract are going to be the people who relate to your brand and style, so appeal to them. This means putting your best foot forward and taking pride in your appearance and what your brand has to offer. Make sure you keep your space clean and well-stocked, all while keeping it open and friendly. Ask yourself – what colors will you paint your walls? What kind of chair will your client sit in? These considerations all lead back to the experience you're trying to build within your brand.
Lastly, create a space that inspires
You want your clients and potential clients to walk away inspired to make their own changes and improvements. We spent many — and we mean many — hours finding the right light fixture for our conference area. Aptly named "the halo effect," we knew we needed something that would create a sense of awe and elegance in our space. All in all, we want our clients to take away three things after spending time in our space: we mean business, we create high-end design, and we won't skimp on quality when it comes to building a brand that is supportive of the community we reside in.
So to some, it may be just a light fixture. But without it, our space would simply be a garage bay with a few standing desks and chairs. Well-placed elements create impactful spaces.


text: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 0 If you've ever wandered into one of the big box stores like Target, BestBuy, or Sears and tried to figure out how to select the best appliance or tech gadget brand to buy, you're not alone. With the advent to a variety of excellent consumer product review sites, shopping patterns have changed. Most purchases are proceeded by navigating the proliferation of specs, critic reviews, and user feedback that's available on the web. When you mix in mobile trends, you ramp up the potential for confusion. Before you hit the stores, here are our recommendations for getting the best information online to vet any brand or product. Check professional review sites: Depending upon what type of item you're buying, from a washer and dryer to a high-end computer, there's a site out there that's dedicated to reviewing it. Some of our favorites are CNet, Euronics.co.uk, and ConsumerSearch. These sites independently evaluate products and give critical reviews. Often, the feedback is based on hours of testing out the products so you don't have to. Spend some time reading user reviews: Another really useful thing to do is find the "reviews" tab on whatever eCommerce site you're perusing and see what people are saying about the product. A quick skim will give you an idea of how well it's performing. If you check out Amazon for example, the number of reviews that fall into each of the 1, 2, 3,4, and 5 star categories are indicative. Generally, I read the 1s and 2s first. What do people blatantly hate about the product, or what really went wrong? This, along with people who are just annoying, tend to comprise the lowest rankings. Then I check out the 3s and 4s. I interpret their feedback through the lens of someone who likes the product but also see ways to improve it, missing features, etc. Finally, I look at the fives. You have to ignore the reviews of friends and Grandmas – but a lot of sincere fives can answer a crucial question: what differentiates this product from the competition? Why are the passionate fans truly passionate? Visit the manufacturer's website: This can be an easy one to overlook with all the other info available online. But the manufacturer's website gives you a good indication of what they think people love about the product, what problem it's intended to solve, and how to quantify its unique benefits. If very minute details about specifications matter, this is the place to find it. You can also get more info about things like warranty and specialized customer service or repairs if it's relevant to your needs. Price compare: Do a quick price comparison online to get an idea of the range of fair prices. Don't forget that online options might have hidden shipping costs. Still, a look at 2 or 3 websites or a 30 second price check on Google Shopping can save you from getting swindled. So before you wander into your local home appliance or electronics store and put your purchasing fate in the hands of a teenage salesperson, do a little digging. Check out what the professional reviewers have to say, whether the end users love it or hate it, and what you can expect in terms of warranty and price. Armed with this information, you can feel confident you're making a smart buying decision. For the latest in consumer product reviews in the UK, please visit http://www.euronics.co.uk/.

But no one was more obsessed with the circle than Guarino Guarini, a brilliant Baroque architect. His buildings are made of concave and convex spaces delineated by circles. One of his most important works, the church of Santa Maria da Divina Providência in Lisbon, was famous for its undulating facade. Sadly, the church was destroyed by the 1775 earthquake.
By happenstance, the circular shapes included in Guarini's treatise, Architettura Civile, resurfaced in Portugal in the 20th century in the design of the popular bolo bolacha (biscuit cake). This cake is made with the circular Maria biscuits invented in 1874 by an English baker to celebrate the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh with the Russian Duchess Maria Alexandrovna.

text: As I finished up "Animal Farm" I took note of the last passage about how the animals could not distinguish between the pigs and their human allies as they broke out into an argument. This then reminded me of what's going on lately over at the Capitol Hill in D.C. Seeing as how the House and the Senate is controlled by two different parties with two different views it was pretty clear there was always going to be major deadlocks after another and not one major improvements happening to the country because of it. Just like bunch of spoiled overeducated grown potbellied men barking at each other over who's right and who's wrong, nobody willing to shake hands. When this 'shutdown' will end nobody knows, and meanwhile the ordinary joes in the civil service don't get any pay, while the ones responsible for the mess do. Unfair you say? You betcha!
