People Freak Out About Privacy On Facebook, But Ignore Widespread Government Surveillance
from the sad deptReason has a great (if disappointing) post noting the very different reactions from both the press and the public to silly and exaggerated stories about privacy issues around Facebook as compared to the Senate reapproving the FISA Amendments Act, which has almost certainly allowed massive surveillance of and collection of data and communications from millions of Americans. You'd think the latter would deserve more attention, but nope.
The post, by Scott Shackford, notes that you can't just blame the media for failing to cover the FISA Amendments Act votes -- they're just responding to what the public wants. And because Facebook seems more "real" to people than the NSA recording all their info, it seems to hit closer to home, even if one is a real abuse of privacy, and the other isn't.
There's currently nothing on the New York Times web site about the votes (either yesterday's or today's). The Associated Press wrote a story about the House's vote in September but nothing yet from yesterday or today. The Washington Post did post a story this morning. A Google news search will land hits with mostly tech or web-based media outlets.
Compare the lack of response to the way people react to privacy breaches connected to Facebook or Twitter. Media outlet after media outlet carried reports about a private picture of Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's sister, accidentally being made public somehow through social media channels. And how many of your Facebook friends posted that silly, pointless "privacy notice" on their walls?
As he points out, this is why it's been so important for the government to keep the details of its spying program a secret. If people realized that the government really was sweeping up all sorts of data, they might realize that this directly impacts them too. But, that's all secret.
The degradation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments is an academic or theoretical matter for so many people and often lacks a strong human narrative to draw public outrage. Indeed, the very secrecy behind the application of federal domestic wiretapping has made it impossible to introduce a human narrative. We do not even know how many Americans have been spied on due to these rules (which was what Wyden's amendment was trying to fix). Like our foreign drone strikes and indefinite detention laws, the public's distance from the actual rights violations (and government-fueled fears of acts of terrorism) is a useful barrier for the state to get away with expanding its authority beyond the Constitution's limitations without significant voter pushback.
Whereas, just about everybody's on Facebook. Facebook's privacy systems affect them directly every day, and they see it. So Americans are furious that Instagram might sell their photos, while shrugging at what the federal government might do with the exact same data.

McAuliffe drives at Cuccinelli
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, seizing on a chance to burnish his bipartisan credentials and marginalize his GOP opponent, attacked Ken Cuccinelli Tuesday over his opposition to Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's transportation plan.
At an event that overlooked the Washington Boulevard Bridge in Arlington — a bridge that's in need of repair and will receive funding under the transportation plan — McAuliffe said he "commended" McDonnell and Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, both Republicans, for their work on the legislation. McAuliffe said anyone who attacks him on the issue is also attacking the work of state pols who were responsible for getting the legislation through.
Story Continued Below
"If Ken Cuccinelli is attacking me, he's attacking Gov. Bob McDonnell, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, [state House speaker] Bill Howell and many others," he said.
McAuliffe's event followed a series of news releases from the state Democratic Party highlighting transportation and infrastructure projects around the state that would not have received funding if Cuccinelli's opposition to the transportation bill had succeeded.
The candidate and former Democratic National Committee chairman said that, while he wasn't directly involved in the passage of the new plan, he was in constant contact with key players in the state throughout the process.
"We're in communication with the governor's office, the lieutenant governor's office, there's information going back and forth," he said. "It was a great thing, we were all working together, and I don't see why people should be shocked at it."
Despite McAuliffe's praise of McDonnell, the sitting governor is squarely in Cuccinelli's camp in the contest to replace him. In an interview with POLITICO at the National Governors Association meetings Sunday, McDonnell said he didn't think Cuccinelli's position on the bill would be a "big story" going forward.
"Don't make any mistake, I'm supporting Ken Cuccinelli," he said.
Cuccinelli spokeswoman Anna Nix said the candidate opposes the transportation plan because it imposes additional taxes on Virginians.
"Ken Cuccinelli believes we need a comprehensive transportation plan that addresses the long-term needs of our region. However, asking people in Northern Virginia to shoulder a substantially higher tax burden at the same time President Obama's sequestration plan is going to cause thousands of their neighbors to be furloughed or lose their jobs is not the answer," she said in a statement. "This is just the latest example of why Terry McAuliffe's tax-and-spend agenda is out of touch with every day middle class Virginians."

Do you know
how to get well without drugs? How soon you can get well? What the signs of health are? How to overcome depression without drugs? Why it is so hard to change to a healthier lifestyle? What is 'toxins', 'detoxify' and 'sludged blood'?
The Quintessence of Natural Living is that which provides physical health, mental and emotional poise and spiritual integrity to the human organism to suffuse it with joy and happiness.
Natural Hygiene is the art and science of living in such a way that it provides all these qualities abundantly.
However in last few centuries mankind has gradually moved away from his instinctive natural living habits and succumbed to the vagories of the machine orientated technological age whereby he is over the verge of annihilating himself and becoming as much extinct as the plants and animals he has already made extinct by his unnatural behaviour of destroying the very hand that sustains his life - namely his environment.
Either mankind stops, looks and listens to his inner voice and conscious awareness or he will end up in a headlong rush - namely his own destruction. That this is the trend, is observed in the rapid rise in sickness and diseases, in crime and violence, in injustices and cruelty, in greed and possessiveness on one hand and despicable poverty and suffering on the other, and last but not the least, with no foresight and formulation as to the direction we must take, not only to avoid the inevitable end but to reverse the present trend so that our immediate future generations have something to look foreword to instead of disaster.
To that end, i.e. the reversing our foot-steps to that natural life-style that the art of Natural Hygiene is dedicated to. Healing, all healing is a biological process, but Natural Hygiene is the art by which we can enhance the life force in its attempt to cleanse and heal the gaping wounds we have inflicted, not only on our physical, mental and emotional bodies, but on our planet mother-earth.
I am of the opinion that in Natural Living, unless we look at the problem with the heart and not just with the head, we will end up in the same mess as the so called scientist and technologist have led us into. That does not mean to say one is superior to the other, but to me the human organism is a Holy Trinity: mind, body and spirit, and that the heart and the head must walk hand in hand as bride and groom on the path of one's salvation.

Quickflix hires another ex-Telstra exec
Readies for digital
Quickflix has made its second high profile appointment in less than a week, snaring the former director of Telstra Media, Chris Taylor as its new CEO.
Last week, the online DVD rental company announced that Justin Milne, the former head of Telstra Big Pond and Telstra Media, had joined the company as deputy chairman.
The appointments follow Quickflix's acquisition of the Telstra's BigPond Movies DVD rental business.
While at Telstra, Taylor spearheaded the launch of Telstra's IPTV services which included streaming movies through the T-Box and other connected platforms. Prior to Telstra he held a range of roles at PBL including CEO of Prime Television New Zealand and MD of the Nine Network Queensland.
"He is one of the few media and entertainment executives in Australia with hands-on IPTV experience and has an in-depth understanding of how to engage audiences through movie and TV content. Chris joins our expanded national team of entertainment, media and technology executives and we are in excellent shape to go very hard at driving growth in what is a large market opportunity," said Quickflix founder and executive chairman Stephen Langsford.
The investment in Taylor and Milne signals that Quickflix are ready to turn the business into a fully fledged digital distribution platform for entertainment content.
For the last year Taylor has been the global CEO for mobile media and payments start-up YuuZoo which operates in 164 countries.
Yuuzoo has operated under the radar in Australia is poised to list on Nasdaq. The company provides payment solutions for a range of fixed and mobile digital services including IPTV. While losing Taylor to Quickflix, it has recently gained former founding Optus CEO Bob Mansfield as a consultant and new board member.
Langsford ruled out any ties between Quickflix and YuuZoo.
Taylor said "Quickflix's online DVD rental subscription business is very well positioned to capture a large share of the $600 million per annum currently spent in physical DVD rental stores in Australia and the further $1 billion in DVD retail in Australia. More than 80 per cent of households in Australia have a DVD player and internet access and are all potential Quickflix subscribers."

Lorraine Williams-YazzieNavajo
Lorraine Williams-Yazzie was born to Donald and Lillie Yazzie on the Navajo Nation in November 1955. She grew up in the Sweetwater, Arizona area, near Kayenta and Teec Nos Pas. Her father was a traditional Navajo medicine man and her mother was a traditional Navajo herbalist. She was not raised in close proximity to any tradition of pottery making: she began working with clay as an adult.
She married George Williams, the son of Rose Williams, the Matriarch of Navajo pottery. At that time Lorraine was adept at beadwork, sand paintings and weaving but "I didn't know how to draw," she once said. "And you don't want to compete with your in-laws. Rose didn't draw at all, so I decided to try drawing on the clay. By mistake I made a hole in one pot so I went ahead and cut it out. Now I make cutouts regularly."
Lorraine has had epilepsy all her life. "Everyone around me thought I had a taboo. No one believed that I really had epilepsy… I found that working with clay kept it away."
She decorates her pottery with a combination of commercially made and natural pigments. She fires each pot outside, separately and upside down, for about three hours with a lot of wood for a very hot burn. Navajo pots are historically coated with hot pine pitch after the firing to give a shiny, more impervious finish.
Lorraine says that Navajo pottery was historically made only for functional and ceremonial use and for trading purposes. Pottery was not made for sale on the Navajo Nation until the 1980s when galleries and traders came looking for it.
She was featured in Susan Peterson's book Pottery by American Indian Women - The Legacy of Generations. As a result of this book, an exhibit showcasing pottery by these famous women, which included works by Lorraine, toured leading museums across the United States. She was also invited to the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate traditional Navajo pottery making.
Lorraine participates in shows at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Tucson Museum of Art, the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff and the SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market. She's won Best in Show ribbons at the Heard Museum and at the Museum of Northern Arizona. She's earned 1st and 2nd Prize ribbons at Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum and the Tucson Museum of Art. Her favorite shapes are tall neck vases and wedding vases, her favorite designs are based on Navajo carpet designs. She's told us she gets her inspiration from her mother-in-law, her granddaughter (Raven Roy) and the everyday life that surrounds her.
She sometimes signs her work: "Lorraine Yazzie." Sometimes she signs with an LWY logo and other times she uses "LWY-Rain."

Navajo Nation
A view in Monument Valley
Historical and archaeological evidence points to the Navajo people entering the Southwest around 1400 AD. Their oral history still contains stories of that migration as the journey began in eastern Alaska and northwestern Canada centuries after their ancestors made the journey across the Bering Land Bridge from central Asia about 10,000 years ago. They were primarily hunter-gatherers until they came into contact with the Pueblo peoples and learned the basics of survival in this drier climate. Navajo oral history points to a long relationship between the Navajo and the Puebloans as they learned from and traded with each other.
When the Spanish first arrived, the Navajo occupied much of the area between the San Francisco Peaks (in Arizona), Hesperus Mountain and Blanca Peak (in Colorado) and Mount Taylor (in New Mexico). Spanish records indicate the Navajo traded bison meat, hides and stone to the Puebloans in exchange for maize and woven cotton goods. It was the Spanish who brought sheep to the New World and the Navajo took to sheep-herding quickly with sheep becoming a form of currency and sign of wealth.
When the Americans arrived in 1846, things began to change. The first fifteen years were marked by broken treaties and increasing raids and animosities on both sides. Finally, Brigadier General James H. Carleton ordered Colonel Kit Carson to round up the Navajo and transport them to Bosque Redondo in eastern New Mexico for internment. Carson succeeded only by engaging in a scorched earth campaign in which his troops swept through Navajo country killing anyone carrying a weapon and destroying any crops, livestock and dwellings they found. Facing starvation and death, the last band of Navajo surrendered at Canyon de Chelly.
Carson's campaign then led straight into "the Long Walk" to Bosque Redondo, a 300-mile trek during which at least 10% of the people died along the way. At Bosque Redondo they discovered the government had not allocated an adequate supply of water, livestock, provisions or firewood to support the 4,000-5,000 people interned there. The Army also did little to protect the Navajo from raids by other tribes or by Anglo citizens. The failure was such that the Federal government and the Navajo negotiated a treaty that allowed the people to return to a reservation that was only a shadow of their former territory little more than a couple years after they had left. However, succeeding years have seen additions to the reservation until today it is the largest Native American Reservation in the 48 contiguous states.
Large deposits of uranium were discovered on the Navajo Nation after World War II but the mining that followed ignored basic environmental protection for the workers, waterways and land. The Navajo have made claims of high rates of cancer and lung disease from the environmental contamination but the Federal government has yet to offer comprehensive compensation.
As a semi-nomadic tribe, the Navajo never made much pottery, preferring to use baskets for most storage purposes. They did produce a small amount of pottery for ceremonial uses. Once they were settled on a reservation, pottery began to make more sense. After 1950 Cow Springs brownware began to appear on the market. A trader named Bill Beaver was in Shonto back then, encouraging local potters to "make something different" and the market in the outside world responded positively to those different creations.
Rose Williams is considered the matriarch of modern Navajo pottery. She learned from Grace Barlow (her aunt) and passed her knowledge and experience on to her daughters and many others. Today, most Navajo pottery is heavy, thick-walled and coated with pine pitch (a sealer they also use on many of their baskets). Most Navajo pottery has little in the way of decoration but many pieces have a biyo' (a traditional decorative fillet) around the rim. Unlike Puebloan potters Navajo potters do not grind up old pot shards and use them for temper in creating new pottery. Their religion says those pot shards are filled with the spirits of their ancestors and forbids the reuse of the material. Similarly, Navajo religion limits Navajo potters to using primarily Navajo carpet designs in the decoration of their pots.
Navajo potters have also created a panoply of folk art, including unfired clay creations called "mud toys." Other Navajo potters, like Christine McHorse, have graduated into the mainstream of American Ceramic Art and easily compete among the finest ceramic artists on Earth.

Pottery Care & Consideration
- The most obvious tip: Yes, the pots will break if you drop them!
- Do not expose pottery to water (Inside or outside). Do not wipe with a damp cloth.
- Dust pottery only with a soft, smooth cloth (no terry cloth or textured fabric). A very soft paintbrush (sable or camel) can be used.
- Always use two hands to carry your pot: one on top and one on the bottom, or one hand on each side. Be careful with handles, they can be fragile. Do not grip or lift pots by the rim. Take care when wearing jewelry, rings can scratch the finish.
- Place a piece of felt or cloth between the pot and the shelf to protect the signature.
- Avoid exposing pottery to extreme temperature changes.
For those who live in "earthquake country" (also good for mischievous pets):
- Weigh pots down with a small zip lock bag containing sand, glass marbles, rice, etc. Do not fill the pot more than one third full as you want them bottom heavy. Remember to remove the weight before moving.
- Secure your shelves; make sure they are well attached to the walls. Shelf brackets should be of sufficient length and strength to support the weight of your pottery.
- Prevent pots from sliding. Consider attaching a small wooden molding to the front of shelves. Line shelves with non-slip material (a thin sheet of rubber foam, Styrofoam sheeting, etc.)
- If you need assistance with special problems, major cleaning (your grandchild spills ice cream on your pot), restoration or repair (the cat breaks a pot), or replacement (irreparable damage), please feel free to call us.
We hope these ideas help you maintain the beauty and value of your pottery for years of enjoyment.

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

GLEN ROCK, N.J. — A Glen Rock police officer who said he was fired for being gay will get his job back — along with $750,000 from the borough, multiple sources report.
In October of 2014, the Glen Rock terminated the employment of Police Officer Matthew Stanislao, and a week later, Stanislao filed suit against the borough, Mayor Bruce Packer said.
"In the spirit of moving forward, the Borough pursued, and has now achieved, a full and final settlement, which will reinstate Stanislao to the Glen Rock Police Department," Packer said.
"Neither Stanislao nor the Borough has admitted any fault or liability in connection to the termination nor the litigation, and the settlement was made with knowledge by both parties of the risks, uncertainty and costs of continuing litigation."
Packer welcomed Stanislao back to the department "in a spirit of reconciliation and a clean slate on all sides."
All claims will be dismissed, the mayor said.

A knee injury kept Calvin Johnson out of practice all week for the Detroit Lions, usually a sign a player won't suit up for the game that follows.
Of course, this isn't your typical player. When it comes to Megatron, standard operating procedures might not apply.
On Saturday, ProFootballWeekly.com's Eric Edholm cited a source in reporting that Johnson is a true gametime decision for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he does play, he could be limited to third-down situations.
Johnson is listed as questionable on Detroit's injury report. The knee issue is the latest in a collection of nagging injuries that have hindered Johnson's production this season. He has one touchdown catch this season after setting a franchise record with 16 scores last season. Johnson has just six catches for 80 yards over the Lions' last two games.
If Johnson plays, he could still have an impact, especially against a depleted Jaguars secondary. But don't expect vintage Megatron.
We don't envy the dilemma facing Johnson fantasy owners.
UPDATE: Johnson is active and started for Lions on Sunday, but was spotted with his left knee wrapped.

The sun has nothing on you when you're wearing the Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap.
Even if the sun is blinding, enjoy your after-work jog with the Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap on your noggin. Outdoor Research constructed this stiff-brimmed hat with UPF 50+ SolarShield Fabric and gave it a removable sun skirt for total protection. The Sun Runner Cap's side air vents and moisture-wicking Coolmax headband keep you cool and comfortable, while the adjustable Cinch-Strap gives you a custom fit.

This cap works very well and looks great! I love it! I use it to jog outside and I use it when I am camping/hiking.
The cap fits very well and I am well-pleased with the wear comfort.

I've had and abused several of these caps over the years and I can tell you they are fantastic outdoor covers for active people. I have an old one with paint spatter and a small tear that I use for messy outdoor work. Keeps the sun, the bugs and spray mist off your head and neck. Another one for kayaking, camping etc. and looks good with the shroud removed too. Salt water will not affect the fabric or the snaps. Light weight, easy to wash and dry. Wish the bill had a fold for easier packing.

There isnt anything that is impressive about this hat, but it does the job it's meant to...it keeps the sun off of my neck and out of my eyes. It's also much more breezy then I thought that it would be.
Hey there Tom - this hat is one of our top selling hats for sure at Outdoor Research. Cool and breezy, this hat keeps the sun off with UPF 50+ sun protection. And, if you don't want the cape, you can remove it! Thanks for taking the time to write!

Full coverage or not

Great hat.
Option to add the skirt for full coverage fantastic in SoCal sun.
Also perfect for bright days humping it in the snow when the rays are at you from every direction or when a chill wind is up but you're working too hard for a balaclava.
So far every thing but tree sap has washed easily, with a bit of oxyclean for that brand new bright white.
Loosen the cinch strap to catch a bit of breeze or tighten it up if a bit of gust would otherwise send you back to the store.
If you're at the limit and need all the air you can get flip the sun skirt up top and cinch it up to keep it in place.
Easier to run with than sun glasses.
For sunrise/sunset runs no need to adjust/remove/store as the light changes.
Post epic feast or just walking to brunch in the sun, remove the sun skirt and still let everyone know you're down for action without looking ...weirder .
The hat is a touch on the shallow side when compared to a standard ball cap but I've come to appreciate this when working hard as well.
Adjustable in rear with single loop back Velcro strap, this threads through the sun skirt to secure. This can make the rear skirt attachment a bit fiddly, though not bad.
Hey Alan! Leta from OR here - Thank you for the great review! This hat is a pure classic. You nailed it on its features. Thanks for taking the time to write, and great photo!
Nice full coverage hat and shade
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 5'9"

The hat is super lightweight and you barely notice it is on your head. I have not really used it in a desert setting . However, it is a great piece of kit for any activity above treeline. The full coverage sun shade goes on and off easily with one hand. The full coverage and wrapping front is great for glacier travel. I highly recommend this as a sun hat.
Saves You from Stressing a Burnt Neck!
At 13,000ft the sun can be killer-clown ridiculous for your skin, but this dude is muchin' on chexmix without sunscreen-tainted hands and his neck is staying as white as when he slapped the 4am alarm that morning. Leadville, CO.
Favorite cap for springtime touring
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great hat for any activity under the sun. It provides super good shade and keeps you nice and cool when you're working hard. Packs up really small and stuffs away in your pack.
I use it a lot for touring as well, I find it is a great piece of kit for any glacier or above treeline travel.
Essential for long hiking trips.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I got this for my husband because his neck always gets burned when we go hiking. This helps tremendously. It's nice that you can hide the neck cover when necessary.
Inside the ping-pong ball...
Outdoor Research calls it the SunRunner, but here all it's doing is a moderately-fine job of keeping my eyelashes frost-free in a weird frozen fog at 3am on the Kahiltna.
I probably have upwards of...eh, let's just use the ubiquitous "hundreds" quantifier, of photos of me in this hat, or in one of the 4 hats of this type I have owned.
It goes under my helmet, under my beanie, over my dome, under a buff, over a buff, in a hood, even OVER the hood on one of my floppy-hooded puffs (no drawstrings on that puff's hood...thing gets all manner of askance...)
Wearing it spilled over into casual life, then into work life, sometime around late 2009 and pretty much everybody I know has since become disgusted with how frequently I wear it.
I think it's actually turning into a bit of an...issue.
I tried to shake things up with a shiny, black Craft hat recently, but it's just not the same vibe, man...
The skirt thing on this is great if you don't like schmozzing sun goo all over your neck and ears and cheeksandface every 8 hours.
I took mine to a tailor and had a snap installed on the front, so I could secure it from wind. I don't like the tie-down solution they went with.
But I don't use it much. I posted a pic here somewhere of the hat with the skirt and my little snap engineering project.
It dries fast, the velcro strap is nice to crank your lid down in the wind, the sides (which are not visible in this pic) vent out, so it never feels hot.
It's a great hat.
Sometimes when I like something, I buy 4 of them at once because I know the company will discontinue it before I stop liking it.
I did that with this hat. I have 2 left and both are pretty gnarred-out. One gets frequently bleach-washed and is thus starting to look more not-here than here, and the other one used to be white and is now just yellow and very sadpants, and that is gross.
Glad they are still making them.
Everybody who knows me probably wishes they'd stop making them...suckers.

The Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap does not have a circumference adjustment like a snap or velcro, but it does have a good amount of elstic pleated in the back to allow for a variable fit if you are between sizes.

My head Circumference: 58 cm, just under 23 in. Question: what size should I get? Looking at the Sizing Chart, my dimensions fall "outside" any of the sizes, squarely between the M and the L. Thanks!
My head measures 22.5" or 57 cm. I picked up the medium and it fits me pretty good. The hat adjusts with a velcro on the back, and I still have plenty of length left in my strap. I would say a medium would work for you.

Will the brim and fabric hold up to soaking wet conditions, like surfing?
you can get it wet if that's what you mean. the bill is plastic so it shouldnt sag or fold. i am not sure how well it will stay on despite the toggle string if you take a major spill.

Is there any advantage to buying the One Size hat? Is the rim elasticated so that it does fit snugly to many sizes?
Some use elastic, others just have a velcro or adjustable nylon strap. That being said I think it is better to get a hat with different sizes. That way it fits your entire head properly not just the circumfrence.
how do i wash it? thanks!

Machine wash will do the trick but I recommend you air-dry after washing, for quick wash in summer I soak my hats in Woolite then hang dry.

I have this hat and found when I was gardening the flaps on the skirt didn't stay put even with the drawstring. I wear the hat for sun protection on my face. Am I doing something wrong?
Could be. If you still have the packaging, check it for instructions about the various positions that you can use. Or, add another drawstring at the bottom on your own.

First off, I just wanna say welcome to the boards!! Second.... I know Branch is a work-force x 10... but you were a big factor in his great succes. I was curious what that diet looked like that you had him on. Crazy amounts of protein to hold all that mass?
Thanks in advance
Thank you and I am very happy to be on board. Branch? He was having 500grams protein and 700 grams a carbs daily. Something only Branch can get away with dieting down .
just welcoming you to the boards, hope all is well!!!1
Thank you Mike and I am
looking forward to spread my knoledge
As a contest prep coach, how did you feel when Branch was announced the top two at the Mr. Olympia contest?
i knew you would be on here lol!! congrats bro!
I was on cloud night . To be honest with you as soon as Branch, walked on that stage I said to myself mission accomplished. I think that the judges saw the same thing we all seeing, Branch, was on and for the first time he have nothing missing and the judges did a great job by rewarding him.
George can you help get Lee Priest back in shape or would that just be Impossible?
Isn't 700g of carbs alot during contest-prep? I heard that Branch liked it more when he was eating High carbs and High protein during his contest-prep; with this said I heard he just did longer cardio sessions to full out.
I wonder how much carbs he eats in the off-season
Shawn, if Lee ever decided to do a show he will be very good with or without my help.
welcome G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Multiple activities are taking place at Hope College in anticipation of the annual A.J. Muste Memorial Peace Lecture, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 2.
The events will begin on Friday, Jan. 25, and will include a variety of presentations, concerts and a three-day film series in addition to the Feb. 2 lecture itself. The public is invited to all of the activities, and admission is free.
The lecture series is named for A.J. Muste, a 1905 Hope graduate who was a noted peace activist. This year's program has been extended in honor of this year's speaker, Dr. Donald Cronkite of the Hope biology faculty, who played a leadership role in establishing the annual series in 1985 and has since chaired the event's coordinating committee.
"Don led the way in establishing the lecture series to honor A.J. Muste and has made a major contribution to the campus community through his leadership of the series for more than two decades," said Dr. Brad Richmond, who serves on the college's A.J. Muste Memorial Committee and is coordinating this year's program. "He's helped Hope bring in a variety of notable national and local speakers to help us think about issues of peace in the tradition of A.J. Muste."
"As we considered speakers for this year, the rest of us felt that he was the ideal person," said Richmond, who is an associate professor of music and director of choral activities at Hope. "We're excited to have the opportunity to feature him, and see expanding the program in advance of his talk as a way of celebrating the work that he has done and what he has brought the campus and West Michigan communities through the series."
The events will begin on Friday, Jan. 25, at 5 p.m. in the De Pree Art Center with a lecture presentation on the national traveling exhibition "Changing Identity: Recent Works by Women Artists from Vietnam." Exhibition curator Dr. Nora Taylor, who is the Alsdorf Professor of South and Southeast Asian Art with School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will speak in Cook Auditorium in the De Pree Art Center. Following the lecture, Dinh Thi Tham Poong, one of the exhibiting artists, will discuss her own work in the gallery.
The Knickerbocker Theatre will show the films "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" on Monday-Wednesday, Jan. 28-30. On Monday, Jan. 28, and Wednesday, Jan. 30, "Flags of Our Fathers" will be shown at 6:45 p.m. and "Letters from Iwo Jima" will be shown at 9:15 p.m. On Tuesday, Jan. 29, the order will be reversed, with "Letters from Iwo Jima" shown at 6:45 p.m. and "Flags of Our Fathers" shown at 9:15 p.m.
The college's Chapel Choir and members of the campus community will present poetry and song on Thursday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. The choir, directed by Richmond, will present the premiere of a piece composed by Richmond and set on poems by World War I poet Wilfred Owen. In addition to the choir's performance, members of the Hope faculty and students will present poetry on topics of peace and war.
A concert on Friday, Feb. 1, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel will feature "Quartet for the End of Time," composed by Olivier Messiaen while interned as a prisoner during World War II. The performance will be interspersed with readings presented by Dr. David Klooster, professor of English and chairperson of the department at Hope. The quartet will be performed by Jonathan Holden, clarinet; Jennifer Walvoord, violin; Eileen Brownell, cello; and Jennifer Wolfe, piano.
Cronkite will present the address "I Cannot Love: Variations on a Theme by A.J. Muste" as the A.J. Muste Memorial Peace Lecture on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel. He will use previous addresses in the Muste lecture series as a basis for his talk.
The A. J. Muste Lecture began in 1985 to commemorate the hundredth birthday of Abraham Johannes Muste (1885-1967), a 1905 graduate of Hope College who became a word-famous advocate for social justice and international peace. Muste, an ordained minister of the Reformed Church in America, became a pacifist at the outbreak of World War I and then began working with the fledgling American Civil Liberties Union. During the 1920s he served as chair of the religious pacifist organization the Fellowship of Reconciliation, becoming executive secretary of the organization in 1940. Tirelessly active, Muste was instrumental in the formation of the Congress on Racial Equality in the 1960s. He demonstrated against the war in Vietnam and in 1966 met with the North Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh.
Cronkite has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1978. He has received a variety of national awards for his work as an educator, including most recently the "Evolution Education Award" from the National Association of Biology Teachers in the fall of 2006 and recognition as "College Teacher of the Year" by the Michigan Science Teachers Association in 2005.

Biden vs. Ryan: 5 things to watch
Bring on the veeps!
Vice President Biden and Republican Paul Ryan get their turn in the spotlight Thursday night, debating the issues in a 90-minute session at Centre College in Danville, Ky.
Their meeting comes eight days after the first of three presidential debates between President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney, a contest that most observers awarded to Romney. Those two meet again next Tuesday and again on Oct. 22.
USA TODAY will have full coverage on all platforms of this first and only vice presidential debate. Martha Raddatz of ABC News will moderate starting at 9 p.m. ET.
As you watch, here are five things to keep an eye on:
Rescuing President Obama. The Obama team is looking to Biden to help the campaign recover from the president's performance last week. Expect Biden at times to bypass Ryan and attack Romney on items that went unmentioned in that opening debate, including the GOP candidate's business experience and his comment about "the 47%" who either receive government assistance or don't pay taxes.
The Ryan budget. Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee and architect of a budget plan that is likely to be a major topic Thursday night. Biden will probably press Ryan on GOP proposals for major tax cuts and budget cuts, especially their plans to revamp Medicare. Ryan, meanwhile, will critique Obama's stewardship of the economy.
Joe Biden, gaffe machine? The vice president sometimes employs a colorful mode of expression that gets him in trouble, such as his recent comment that Republican economic policies would put people "in chains." Republican surrogates will be on major gaffe patrol.
Paul Ryan, too young for prime time? The Republican vice presidential candidate is only 42 years old, one of the youngest national nominees in history. Representing a congressional district in Wisconsin, Ryan has never run statewide, and never been on a debate stage this size. Democratic surrogates will be searching for signs of inexperience, especially when it comes to foreign affairs. The contrast between Ryan and the 69-year-old Biden should also be interesting.
USA TODAY's Washington bureau chief, Susan Page, discusses what we should look forward to in Thursday's vice presidential debate.
Attack dog politics. Running mates are traditionally the more aggressive candidates in presidential campaigns, and this debate should prove that point once again. Biden and Ryan will spend more time talking about Obama and Romney than about each other.
If anything, vice presidential debates generate more memorable moments than their presidential counterparts -- whether it's Lloyd Bentsen telling Dan Quayle in 1988, "You're no Jack Kennedy;" or Sarah Palin telling Biden four years ago, "Say it ain't so, Joe." Don't be surprised to see rhetorical fireworks, especially in a debate not limited by topic -- all issues are fair game.

Prof. Dusa McDuff, Barnard's Helen Lyttle Kimmel '42 Professor of Mathematics, has received recognition from two prestigious academic societies.
On November 15 at the American Philosophical Society's annual autumn meeting, Prof. McDuff was officially inducted as a member of the society, which was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin for the purpose of "promoting useful knowledge." She was among the 34 preeminent scholars elected earlier this year to join this organization that brings together distinguished scholars from across academic disciplines to engage in civic and cultural matters. The Society also supports research through grants and fellowships, and is home to a renowned research library of manuscripts and historical documents. View the full list of new members.
Additionally, Prof. McDuff will deliver a series of lectures in January as part of the 2014 Joint Mathematical Meetings, an annual conference hosted jointly by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. The meeting is the largest gathering of mathematicians in the United States. In her lectures at this year's meeting, Prof. McDuff will focus on symplectic geometry. Listen to an interview with Prof. McDuff about her upcoming lectures.
Prof. McDuff joined Barnard's faculty in 2007. She has worked in symplectic topology since the early 1980s, writing over 90 papers as well as co-authoring three books. Prof. McDuff has been awarded various honors and distinctions including the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize of the American Mathematical Society. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1994, a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1999, and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.

I've been given a 500GB drive, which had an OS on already. I'm going to wipe it then use it with GPT partitions in a UEFI Windows 7 system. After reading around apparently all you need to do is format the disk, delete the partitions, then when you install windows on the blank disk it automatically creates the partitions, in the right order, with the correct size.
Having done this installation works absolutely fine, but further down the line when installing drivers I get a blue screen on restart. This is perplexing and I'm fairly sure it's not the drivers causing the issue (we have an identical machine in work which uses the drivers fine). The only major difference I can see between the two machines is that the one which isn't working doesnt have a 2 GB OS volume, or an OEM partition, but I'm fairly sure the OEM partition isn't essential. But surely if Windows needed the OS volume it would have created it when it partitioned off the disk during install?!
If anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: On my the identical machine we were just in the BIOS for another reason, and I noticed that it hasn't been setup as a UEFI bootable disk, but in the old legacy boot style. So that's one thing I can try with this disk - wipe it, try installing Windows to it as a legacy boot disk, see how that goes.
EDIT2: I've sorted this. I wiped the disk, and at boot chose to 'legacy boot' (as opposed to 'UEFI boot') the DVD drive. This time when Windows installed onto the blank disk it's done so without any issue. So far... No idea why the UEFI option wasn't working though.

BT redesigns its strategy boutique
'Unrivalled agility'
BT has announced a corporate reshuffle aimed at keeping the telco "ahead of the game" as it battles increasing competition at home and abroad.
The changes acknowledge the firm's increasing reliance on software and IP services by creating a new strategy unit to oversee the existing retail, global services, wholesale, and Openreach divisions.
As CEO of group strategy and operations, Andy Green will be responsible for better coordinating new products and services across the divisions through two new business units - BT Design and BT Operate, which will together employ about 20,000 current staff.
BT Design will look after creating new services, while BT Operate will be responsible for deploying them across the group.
Current president of BT International, Francois Barrault, will take over from Green as chief executive of BT Global Services, and wins a seat on the BT board. BT has big plans for Global Services, which it has targeted as a primary growth area, through flogging its technology overseas.
Group chief executive Ben Verwaayen said: "This is the second phase of BT's transformation. The first phase saw BT shift its focus from narrowband to broadband. This next stage is equally important. It will see BT advance from a 20th century hardware-based company to a 21st century software-based services company." ®

A Short trip to Ottawa had me a visit with my dad, brother, sister-in-law and nephew.
While away I got a wee pair of moccasins finished beading the toe
These are newborn crib soft deer hide with sheep wool lining.
I recently created an Etsy shop named Made By Grandma's Hands
where I list my favourite items.
My brother asked me to make him a pair of Mukluks, I think I'll need longer days to make warmer items.
Take care, Cindy

BATON ROUGE — Despite opposition from the energy industry, a top business group, a recreational fishing association and the state Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, a House committee advanced legislation Monday that will sweep $20.6 million out of the Artificial Reef Development Fund.
BATON ROUGE — Despite opposition from the energy industry, a top business group, a recreational fishing association and the state Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, a House committee advanced legislation Monday that will sweep $20.6 million out of the Artificial Reef Development Fund.
But opponents to the move argue the fund will only have roughly $14 million in it when the administration makes its transfer, should the Legislature oblige, before the next budget takes effect July 1.
As a result, they predict Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration intends to take all of the money out of the fund, leaving it at a zero balance until it gradually builds back up.
Michael DiResto, assistant commissioner of policy and communications for the Division of Administration, said late Monday the administration is not planning to adjust the figure of $20.6 million downward and is comfortable with the legislation as passed by the House Appropriations Committee.
The reef fund contains payments made primarily by oil and gas companies that are looking to save money by "reefing" a rig, rather than the costlier alternative of pulling it inshore to have scrapped.
Several conservation groups say they also support the rigs-to-reefs program, bankrolled by the fund, because it creates sustainable underwater habitats.
House Bill 452 by Appropriations Chairman Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro, takes $519 million out of several dedicated funds like the reef fund to help balance the budget, chiefly benefitting higher education.
The committee approved the bill by a vote of 13-10 before endorsing the $24 billion state spending plan, Fannin's House Bill 1.
For the remainder of the session, which ends June 6, the two bills will be closely connected in all coming budget debates.
Since the 2009-10 fiscal year, the administration has taken roughly $45 million from the reef fund.
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, appointed fully by Jindal, is considering litigation over the past transfers, and the latest if approved, but members say the administration has offered to find a way to repay the money.
Negotiations are ongoing, although many have publicly admitted to being skeptical.
On the agenda for its next meeting May 2, the commission has included a discussion on the "prospective litigation" in executive session, meaning behind closed doors.
Commission members argue the money donated to the reef fund is not intended for other areas of the state budget, which could be the foundation for its potential lawsuit.
Rebecca Triche, executive director of the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, said another argument could be made that the money paid into the fund is protected by Louisiana's guiding charter.
"The donations are made to the Conservation Fund, which is constitutionally protected," she said.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries oversees the Conservation Fund, from which money for the reef fund is appropriated.
Several business interests turned up Monday to oppose the administration's latest transfer proposal.
Gifford Briggs, vice president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, said the fund is helping the industry deal with federal mandates related to removing so-called "idle iron" from the Gulf of Mexico.
"We can either bring it inshore at a really high cost or participate in the rigs-to-reef fund for fishermen and divers and people who enjoy the coast," he said.
Mike Lyons, an attorney for the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, testified that the state has a unique program from a national perspective.
"This is a unique collaboration between the oil and gas industry and the state and the fishing community," Lyons said. "We should be promoting something like this."
Ginger Sawyer, director of energy issues for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, said her group is opposed to all of the governor's proposed transfers because that takes money away from funds that were paid into by users for a specific purpose.
She added that has been her group's stance since 2009, which she described as the "beginning of the sweeps."
In an effort to guard against future raids, Sen. Bret Allain, R-Franklin, advanced legislation through the Senate Finance Committee last week that recreates the reef fund as a constitutional program.
It's currently in state statute, making it easier for the administration and lawmakers to approve such sweeps.
If Senate Bill 128, a proposed constitutional amendment, is approved by the Legislature, voters will have their say on the Nov. 4, 2014, ballot.
It is being supported by the Coastal Conservation Association, Louisiana Oil and Gas Association and the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, among others.

Hi Maki,
A friend asked me if I could look for a powdered tofu for use in making a Vietnamese dessert that is a kind of gelatin. Do you know what this might be and where could I find it in Japan? Thanks!
Hmm...I am not sure what you mean (or what your friend means). Some things are called 'tofu' but do not actually contain soy at all, including some desserts, like an-nin-dofu which is actually almond milk gellified with agar-agar. Also, if it's a Vietnamese ingredient, it may not be that readily available in Japan...which doesn't have a big Vietnamese expat population. Maybe you can ask her to clarify what she means.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
there are kits that make tofu one is made by a house I think its called hon tofu mix
Yes there is House Hon-dofu mix, but it doesn't quite sound like what Supertaster's friend is looking for to me... it isn't a dessert ingredient in any way. I am just guessing that the Vietnamese dessert is closer to the almond "tofu" I mentioned, maybe made with coconut milk or something (but I'm just guessing here).
The Vietnamese dessert you are referring to is is made with agar-agar and flavored with various ingredients. Different flavors are often layered together in molds. Green layers are flavored with pandan leaf extract. Brown layers are mocha or caramel flavored. White layers (which resemble tofu) are made with coconut milk. When feeding a lot of guests, it is usually made into large, layered sheets that are cut into pieces.
Here is an example (in Vietnamese) using just coconut milk and mocha flavors:
Instead of making clearly defined layers, she swirls them together for a marbleized effect.
Thank you so much for everyone's help. I'm still waiting to hear from my friend exactly what she's referring to, but Arigomi's link looks promising. I'll let you know when I know. Thanks!

Physical resist 50%Drops Tokoloshe Charm
Dungeon Specific
The Tokoloshe is a monster unique to the Havensdale Bridge dungeon. It is somewhat similar to a Goo Blob due to its 50% physical resistance, but is set aside by the cowardly trait and by the fact that it drops a Tokoloshe Charm on death. These charms grant +5% magic resistance, which is useful since at least one of the bosses of Havensdale Bridge deals magic damage. As with all cowardly monsters, you should be mindful that it will retreat every time it is attacked, so always make sure you're prepared to explore a few tiles to chase after it or ensure its "escape route" is already explored to prevent any healing.

Mandel discusses how to conserve ink and make image files easier to print by replacing CMY elements with black.
By Rick Mandel
In the not so distant past, print providers would assist in preparing the final files we'd use to produce prints. We would maximize the printability as it related to the imaging process. For the last couple of decades, we battled on press to print the files that were provided, because we weren't willing to take responsibility for altering client files in an effort to improve printability.
Even though modern technology offers avenues to create files that print better, save time and money, and eliminate the need to dig into the files, we still have to deal with situations where a client's file doesn't print properly or quickly enough on press. This causes delays on press to achieve the right rendering, which is not always possible, and generates considerable losses in machine time and waste—and client dissatisfaction.
Common issues include mismatches between an incoming file's color-separation profile and the digital printing device, incompatibility between ink values (total area coverage or TAC) contained in the file and destination printers and substrates, or mismatches between the incoming file's black generation and printer desired or optimal black generation (GCR/UCR).
Image-enhancement/optimization solutions have created a buzz over the last number of years in the market for digital printing. But what are we attempting to enhance and optimize?
Expectations for optimization
The first impression of the optimization process at a channel or separation level (CMYK) is that the result looks just like under-color removal (UCR) or gray-component replacement (GCR). UCR removes overlapping process colors, replacing them with black ink only during the color-separation process. It is used in four-color (or more) printing.
UCR tends to reduce the volume of shadow color in CMY to allow easier printing and drying. The measurement term that is used for UCR is a total ink-volume limit. Here, 100% of all four colors is 400. If, for example, UCR is called out to be 320, CMY is reduced in a dark shadow and black is increased so that the total coverage of CMYK does not exceed 320%.

Best Car I Owned..
By Raja B on Tuesday, June 26, 2018I have the Sorento FWD EX V6 2017. Its been an year now close to 11K miles. This is one of the better SUVs. And with all its features it literally falls in Luxury SUV category. My friend has an 2017 Honda Pilot EX-L, after comparing both I felt the Sorento provided better interior build. Leather feel was really good in Sorento. Best part is the Seamless Apple CarPLay. It works seamlessly. The BLindspot monitoring system is really good, except in cases where the highway divider is too close or there are barriers. It gives out false beams (Well better safe then sorry). On highways - Long Drives I easily get 27-28mpg and within city close to 19mpg. I did once touch 33mpg post 1 month down, but have never got that later. I could see that if I filled regular Gas from TOP-Tier gas station the mileage is usually good (COSTCO, Shell, Some of the Mobil Gas stations, etc). Never Fill from SAMS Club. The engine noise and Vibration is really very low in this Car. On Paved highways its absolutely quite, on concrete highways its manageable (Better than my previous best Nissan Altima). Auto climate works like a charm too. No complains there. With all 3 row vents cooling or heating is really quick. Only complain I have is the Sound System speakers. They are not bad but neither are they good. 2nd row speakers are not loud enough and the fade logic is not really great. This is one item which I would want to change. Overall I am very satisfied and hopefully will keep the car for long. 5 year warranty is just too good compared to Honda or Toyota.

BEST vehicle ever
By Sandra on Saturday, January 06, 2018Very glad to be alive this morning! My Kia Sorento was totaled yesterday in a 3 car collision. My Sorento rolled. I climbed out and was able to walk away with a small cut on my head and a bruise on my right thigh. Thank you Kia for building a car that I feel safe driving.

Excellant SUV- Move Over Toyota, Honda and Nissan
By Wizard of the East on Friday, May 12, 2017Purchased my 2017 Sorento SXL V one month ago and have driven about 1500 miles so far. Im impressed. As a 2 time previous Toyota Highlander owner (the last being a 2015 Highlander Limited), this Sorrento is every bit the vehicle the Highlander is. I cant speak for the Honda Pilot, but Ive researched the SUV in this class and these are the big 3 in my opinion, I owned a 2008 Highlander Limited before the 2015 and in my opinion, the 08 was better made, detailed than 2015. I have found no shortcoming in this Sorento thus far. Im getting Avg 26.5 on the highway thus far and most of my driving this vehicle has been a highway. Very quiet, and responsive. All the features are impressive.If I had to describe this vehicle in 1 word Id say QUALITY, This is not a cheap vehicle, in fact, I paid as much as a comparable top of the line Highlander.But in the KIA you have a 5 year/60,000 bumper to bumper warranty (almost twice that of its competitors) Again Id emphasis when you think of this Sorento, dont think cheaper, think value and again QUALITY. Get any preconceived notions of the brand KIA out of your mind. Its a top competitor now.

We don't have any racoons in our area, but thought I'd pass the info on for people that may have this issue.

Over my first three years in Vermont, I've seen an incredible variety of weather.
A very unusual March heat wave is sweeping across the northern part of the country, and Vermont is next on its list.
This winter has been a mild one in Addison County, but it has also seemed the harshest of the three Vermont winters I've experienced. As the days get longer, it's exciting to see a few signs of spring.
This week may bring the largest snowstorm of the winter to Addison County, but it will pale in comparison to the storms of last year - and to the forecasts many made last fall of a snowy winter. As winter nears its end, it is a good time to look back at these winter forecasts and see how they fared against actual conditions.
January brought many thaws to choose from, rather than just one, and February's first day brought a thaw as well.
(as seen to the left, after heavy rain at the end of January, the ice in the Middlebury River was ripped loose and strewn on the banks)
Wednesday would have seemed like a very warm day, but because I had just come back from a week-long visit to southern California (where it approached 80 degrees), the weather seemed a bit cool. In reality, it was very warm for the first day of February -
The mild conditions this winter have not been conductive to ice skating on our local waterways, but on Wednesday morning many Addison County residents took unplanned trips across ice - when traveling across driveways and parking lots!
The culprit? A warm front bringing unseasonable rain, followed by a cold front and plummeting temperatures - an effect some meteorologists call a "flash freeze".
Over the last two months, most of the United States and southern Canada have been locked into a "snow drought", but for parts of Vermont, at least, some significant snow may be on the way.
As I type this blog post, there is not a bit of snow to be seen in East Middlebury.
Addison County has experienced some unusual November weather over the last week - in the form of clear, sunny, warm conditions. To someone who enjoys watching the weather, the weather has in fact seemed a bit boring. Boring or not, the weather conditions have been wonderful for spending time outside, so I've spent the last few days enjoying the outdoors in Vermont, instead of watching the weather.

Saudi Arabia Starts Clamping Down On Encrypted VoIP Services; US And UK Strangely Silent On The Moves
from the awkward dept
Earlier this month, the messaging service Viber was blocked in Saudi Arabia. This was not entirely unexpected, since the authorities had been trying to come to grips with the service and its ability to encrypt messages for a while according to Viber's founder, as a BBC News report explains:
Mr Marco told the BBC that Saudi internet service providers and mobile operators started asking for information about the internal workings of the service a couple of months ago.
Back in March of this year, another BBC story noted that two other encrypted messaging services -- Skype and WhatsApp -- were also being told to make it possible for the authorities to eavesdrop on communications. In the wake of the Viber ban, there are now concerns that WhatsApp, Skype and the Tango messaging service may fall afoul of the Saudi authorities' desire to bring these new technologies under control.
"We assumed that the reason they wanted it was to try to figure out ways to tap into our conversations, listen to what our users are saying, read messages," he said.
A few weeks ago, this clear attempt to ensure that citizens in Saudi Arabia could be routinely spied upon when using popular new communication services would doubtless have prompted denunciations from Western countries of these clear threats to privacy and personal freedom. But in the light of the revelations about the large-scale snooping being carried out by the NSA in the US and GCHQ in the UK, that is hardly an option. This shows once more how increasing surveillance in the West gives those in other parts of the world a free pass to do the same.
