Drinking with Will Gordon: Guinness Generous Ale Is a Pleasant Winter Diversion
Pull up a stool next to your drinking buddy Will.
We did it, guys. We made it through all 50 days of January. The worst is over. We endured a full miserable month of cold and darkness* and we have emerged onto the glorious other side where groundhogs promise sunshine and Beyonce sings during Sunday supper. It's not dark out at 4:00 in the afternoon anymore, and baseball sort of starts sort of soon. All is right with the world.
*Unless you live someplace warm, in which case congratulations and screw you.
There is one lingering little disappointment to deal with: The above blessings notwithstanding, it is still winter. Icy, salty, slushy, shitty winter. The calendar says we've got another 6 weeks till spring shows up. I'm not one to be bossed around by astronomy, so I'm inclined to declare winter dead a little earlier, say when the clocks finally get their act back together on March 10. But even if you're an easy grader like me, that leaves you with another month until spring. There's room for minor disagreement over just how deep into winter we've gotten ourselves, but all rational northern hempisherians accept that it isn't spring yet.
Of course, the world's stuffed full of irrationalists, those who deny science and seasons and mustard's condimentary superiority and all manner of plain facts, and beer marketers fall into this category. Not only do they expect us to believe in things like "cold filtering," "ice brewing," and "beechwood aging," now they also try to convince us that the seasons shift every three weeks or so to coincide with the launch of another limited-edition brew.
I'm not one of the hard-line equinox truthers who spend all summer complaining about pumpkin beer, but I am sympathetic to their cause. Samuel Adams sent me their new Spring Thaw mix pack several weeks ago, and I'm holding off on my review for as long as I can without seeming irrelevant. I'd like to cover it in April, but I fear that by then I'll be at least one full season behind everyone blogging about the new Summer Sweat offerings.
So I'm not looking to deny seasonal drinkers their outrage, but I also wouldn't ask brewers to march to a more conventional calendar. To each his own. I remain mostly on the sidelines of this fight, though I do register my mild opinion through delaying seasonal reviews for as long as seems feasible, which is why I'm just now getting around to discussing Generous Ale, Guinness's new winter offering.
This is what the brewery has to say about it: "Inspired by Arthur [Guinness]'s philanthropic legacy and devotion to generous, full-flavored beers, Guinness Generous Ale is special edition holiday beer that was developed in a traditional winter ale style, but with more body and the distinct roast for which Guinness Draught is known. With a rich amber appearance, the vanilla notes accent Guinness Generous Ale's silky, yet vibrant taste."
I think it's a pretty good amber ale that is distinctly Guinness-y but also a surprisingly successful departure from the style that made kindly old Arthur so rich.
The beer categorizers call Guinness Generous Ale an "English dark mild ale." It's a deep chestnut amber with a strong nose of roasted malt punctuated by an undercurrent of dried fruit and spice. The alcohol could be better integrated—it's 5.6 percent, but I'd have believed as high as 7—but it's still an easy-drinking, light-bodied ale that opens with sweet caramel before giving way to a surprisingly stern metallic middle and an abrupt, slightly grassy finish. This is an objectively interesting beer that's worth trying for its own merits, never mind its fairly compelling origin myth.

The Spektrum™ iX12 transmitter combines all-new Spektrum AirWare™ Touch app and robust DSMX® technology together with the intelligence of an Android-powered touchscreen, WiFi connectivity and more.
The Spektrum™ iX12 radio is an intelligent 12-channel transmitter matched with a powerful combination of features and next-level connectivity. Groundbreaking yet comfortably familiar, RC pilots of all aircraft types can use the iX12 to out fly everything in its class.
Literally "tap" into the iX12's programming. Its 4-inch, full-color, easy-to-read monitor delivers crisp, clear detail that includes state-of-the-art touchscreen technology so that navigation is simple. And, because the interface is a fully functional Android system with a dedicated quad-core processor, it will work with an evolving list of apps from the Google Play store.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the iX12 gets even smarter. Spektrum AirWare™ Touch app update-alerts are automatic, plus you can download model setups and add third-party apps. Listen to music on Spotify or Pandora directly from your radio or even update your Facebook status just before you fly.
The iX12 can connect with just about any Bluetooth device. Use wireless earbuds to hear voice alerts privately, or pair a set of speakers and listen to music. A wide range of other devises uses are possible including file sharing, photo sharing and more.
Hook up to your flight-control board and use their apps to adjust settings directly from the iX12—no laptop required. The integrated micro USB port conveniently allows you to charge its internal Li-Ion battery with a common Micro USB cable and power source. Other accessory devices can be recognized too, including your PC or laptop
Long-time Spektrum users will feel right at home the first time they pick up the iX12. That's because it's Spektrum AirWare™ Touch app is derived from the familiar Spektrum AirWare firmware used today. The big, color touchscreen features an Android interface that simply makes menu navigation and model setup even easier than before.
Go further with the iX12 when you explore what the integrated auxiliary serial port has to offer. It's a next-level link that lets you accessorize the iX12 transmitter with a compatible long range RF system (adapter, SPMA3090 required) such as Team Black Sheep Crossfire protocol technology (sold separately) that gives you low latency performance and secondary frequency convenience.
Keep tabs on important information without ever taking your eyes off what you are flying. The iX12 programmable voice alert system can call out what flight mode you have chosen or report telemetry info on demand. If an alarm goes off, you won't have to look at the display to see what's happening. The iX12 can tell you.
Text-to-speech means that you can create any voice alert by just typing in the words, it can even take *.WAV files so you can have virtually any sound imaginable. In addition to a built-in speaker, the iX12 has a headphone jack that allows you to monitor voice alerts, and/or listen to your favorite song during flight, using earbuds so you don't bother other pilots. You can also use its Bluetooth support to connect with wireless earbuds or your phone.
Based on popular team-pilot recommendations and customer feedback, the iX12 has been persistently engineered to have the most optimized feel possible. The weight distribution and ergonomics of the iX12 have been optimized to fit a wide range of pilot needs. The result is a sense of balance, comfort and functionality that perfectly complement the speed and precision of DSMX® technology.
KEY iX12 ERGONOMIC FEATURES:
The exclusive functionality of the Spektrum wireless trainer link gives iX12 users the ability to wirelessly link up with other Spektrum transmitters and specially-equipped Spektrum FPV headsets. It's hassle-free. Once bound to another transmitter or component, ModelMatch™ technology will allow the iX12 to re-link without having to go through the bind process again.
Access to tension, ratchet and travel adjustments for each gimbal is conveniently through the front - no disassembly required. There's nothing to it. Even mode conversion adjustments are accessible. To create the perfect feel, just lift off the rubber access cover and make a simple adjustment.
Gimbal Access Points:
The evolutionary iX12 radio functions a lot like smartphone. When booted for the first time, you practically never have to turn it off—just put it to sleep. Tap the power button for easy-to-use options that allow the system to instantly boot and present options that extend battery use between charges. You have full control of when the RF system broadcasts, when the Android system is active when the screen is on. Additionally, the Spektrum LED indicator light always gives you a clear sign of sleep, broadcast and charging status.
The Spektrum™ iX12 features a class leading model memory storage capacity. Pilots are able to store 250 models straight to the radio, and even more on to an SD card. The enormous capacity of the iX12's on-board Model Memory means you can be confident that your whole fleet can all be conveniently stored all on one radio. And with the security of Spektrum Model Match Technology, there are no worries of accidently flying a model with the wrong settings. Simply choose the model you want to fly, power up the aircraft, and let your Spektrum iX12 do the rest.
Not only is the iX12 the ultimate in control, it's the ultimate tool you can use to make sure your prized aircraft is in perfect condition. Built-in telemetry can give you real-time data on critical information like your model's battery voltage, signal quality, motor temperature and more.* Using the voice alert system, you can program the iX12 to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch.
*Model must be equipped with a telemetry-enabled receiver and any required sensors.
The iX12 can share model setups with any Spektrum G2 transmitter with Spektrum AirWare firmware. Transfer model setup data from an 'old' transmitter to your new iX12 or share models with almost any other Spektrum G2 user.
The iX12 can share model setups with any of these Spektrum transmitters:

Spektrum receivers are compatible with most popular speed controls and servos on the market.
DSM or Digital Spectrum Modulation is Spektrum's proprietary method of implementing 2.4GHz spread spectrum technology for the R/C industry. DSM divides the 2.4GHz band into 80 individual channels (frequencies) and incorporates direct sequence spread spectrum with an embedded GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code. DSM has been painstakingly optimized by our engineers for RC surface and aircraft use, offering the most robust RF link in the industry.
DSM2 is the 2nd generation of Spektrum DSM technology and remains a premier 2.4GHz choice even today. Using the same superior wideband DSSS foundation that all Spektrum technology is based on, DSM2 consistently provides faster response and more precision than most non-DSM 2.4GHz protocols.
DSMX is a natural evolution of DSM2 technology that is the result of several years of development, optimized for pilots and combining Wideband DSSS and Frequency Agility. It builds on what has come before and takes DSM to the next level of robustness, reliability and efficiency without leaving current DSM2 users behind. DSMX represents the world's first wideband, frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol and the most advanced spread spectrum RC technology to date.
These systems usually transmit a narrow band signal and rapidly jump through a fixed set of frequencies, spending a few milliseconds on each frequency.
The foundation DSMX is built on is the same foundation as DSM2™ - the superior on-channel interference resistance and coding gain of wideband DSSS. Compared to the wideband signal of a DSM2 or DSMX™ system, the narrow-band signal of other 2.4 transmitters is more likely to suffer crucial data loss in the event of on-channel interference. Think of wideband 2.4 as a river and narrow-band 2.4 as a stream. It takes much more interference to stop a river than it does to stop a stream.
The big reason wideband is so robust is coding gain. Essentially what this means is that the unique coding in a DSM2 or DSMX wideband signal allows it to be heard well above the noise of surrounding 2.4GHz signals without requiring any more power. In fact, a Spektrum wideband signal can achieve as much as 3X the range of its narrow-band competition using the same amount of power.
For the most part, yes. DSM2 transmitters are forward compatible with DSMX receivers and DSMX transmitters are backward compatible with DSM2 receivers. And because DSM2 and DSMX share the same wideband DSSS foundation, all Spektrum users will enjoy superior range, speed and precision whether they're using DSM2 equipment, DSMX equipment or a combination of both. The only exception is the DXe which is DSMX-only and not compatible with DSM2 receivers.
Yes, but DSM2 users who rarely, if ever, fly in big events or other "noisy" 2.4GHz environments may find the DSM2 equipment they have now is all they will ever need. The difference DSMX makes is only apparent when hundreds of 2.4GHz systems are in use at once. To see if your transmitter is eligible for the DSMX add-on, please visit horizonhobby.com, click on the "radios" tab, and select "DSMX addons" for more details.
A safety feature that prevents a pilot from flying a model when the model selected in the radio is not correct.
A resequencing of the data a Spektrum transmitter transmits based on the type of mixing you select. This feature helps to sync control services that are connected (such as a swash plate on a helicopter) and is used in radios that have many channels.
The Spektrum™ X-Plus™ 8 module lets you add 8 fully proportional channels to specially equipped Spektrum transmitters and receivers with 10 or more proportional channels. Just plug it into the X-Plus port of a compatible receiver. It is ideal for scale modelers who like to push realism to the extreme with working accessories and lights in addition to the regular control functions. The DX10t and DX18 offer X-Plus.
You should have no problem maintaining control as long as you maintain direct line-of-sight with your model. If you try to fly behind a group of trees or otherwise obstruct your direct line-of-sight, you could be susceptible to losing your control link.
You can download Spektrum Apps from the Google Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Horizon+Hobby,+Inc. or from the iTunes store at https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/horizon-hobby-inc/id415542050
The length of the antenna is on a Spektrum receiver is set and tuned to optimize the range and performance of the receiver. We do not recommend altering the length of the antenna on any Spektrum Receiver.

MSNBC\'s Melissa Harris-Perry has a wacky theory for us that she believes should be the determining criteria for human life. Life itself, it\'s very beginnings, depends on the feelings of another person (whose life, I assume, depends upon the feelings of another person, and so on, and so on…). Life cannot be said to exist based on science or logic or genuine knowledge or even common sense, but on feelings.
As the world celebrates the birth of the new prince in England, it is ironic to reflect on how the headlines and all the press around the world have always referred to the Duchess\'s baby as just that, a baby. Not a fetus, never an embryo, never a clump of cells taking up residence in her uterus, certainly never an intruder. The world has correctly identified the baby as a baby and granted the baby the respect and humanity he has always deserved. Why? Because the parents are royalty? Because they\'re wealthy? Because they\'re stylish and beautiful? Maybe. Those are lousy reasons to recognize the obvious, but reasons still.
Harris-Perry has taken the occasion to point out to us the illogic and the hypocrisy of our own reactions and our society\'s treatment of the child in the womb, though that isn\'t what she meant to do. She\'s making her case for the necessity and validity of abortion, but she actually does a good job of exposing how empty, selfish, and absurd is the entire premise.
She starts by contrasting the fairytale experience of William and Kate with other, more problematic experiences, and opines that, \"When a pregnancy is wanted, by the mother and father, their family, their community, even their country, it is easy to think of the bump as a baby. But not every pregnancy is a fairytale. There are other stories. An ultrasound reveals serious birth defects; a child is raped and becomes pregnant; another baby would jeopardize a mother\'s ability to feed her living children; a woman decides she does not want a child at all; these are different pregnancies.\"
"They are reminders that an unwanted pregnancy can be biologically the same as a wanted one. But the experience can be entirely different.\"
She goes on, "Eggs are fertilized. Embryos implant. Cells divide and multiply. Fetuses grow. But when does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling – but not science.\"
(Before I continue, it must be said: 1. Yes, it\'s quite easy to think of the bump as a baby because it is, in fact, a baby. 2. Birth defects, even serious ones, do not justify ripping a baby to pieces. 3. The child in the womb is also a mother\'s living child.)
Pregnancy is not a condition that happens apart from a baby. That seems so obvious as to be dopey to even say, yet Harris-Perry repeats the idea — indeed the theme the abortion industry loves — that it\'s the experience of pregnancy that matters, and whether it\'s good or bad determines the value of the \"bump\".
Hogwash. The condition of pregnancy is a gigantic smörgåsbord of possible experiences, good, bad, and ugly, but that doesn\'t mean diddley in relation to the inherent value of the baby. I\'ve had four children so I speak with great authority and depth of experience. I know very well that pregnancy is not all roses and lollipops.
Here comes the most politically-incorrect thing you\'ll ever hear: How a woman feels about pregnancy is utterly and totally irrelevant to the fact that there is a baby in her womb. Her feelings matter very much indeed, because she matters, but her feelings have nothing whatsoever to do with the humanity of the child in her womb. She cannot feel the baby into life or into nothingness.
She does not determine the child\'s worth or value based on her feelings. Her feelings do not grant humanity to a \"clump of cells.\" Her feelings, whether negative or positive, do not affect the personhood of the child one iota. The child IS a human being, period. Feelings have nothing to do with it.
Harris-Perry\'s entire argument is the absurd idea that if a woman has a good experience of pregnancy and wants her child, then because she feels happy about it, her \"bump\" is indeed a baby. If her experience is not good and she feels negatively about it, then her \"bump\" is not a baby. More than that, life has not actually begun because her feelings have not granted it.
First, it strikes me as incredibly insulting because it just plays into the old sexist stereotype that everything women do is based on feelings, and women are incapable of thinking rationally and employing logic and sound reasoning. So much for using our heads, girls. And forget about science, right? Women just react emotionally to everything!
Second, speaking of science, I thought it was Christians who were supposedly anti-science! Forget human biology — in Harris-Perry\'s magical and incoherent world, women just feel life into existence and presto! — bumps become babies!! Wow! Again, it\'s insulting to tell women that things aren\'t real if they don\'t want them to be real. Facts are not obliterated by feelings. And the power to grant and create life is thankfully not at the whim of women\'s emotions.
Harris-Perry really held up the mirror, though, and her crazy, narcissistic remarks are an accurate reflection of our depraved times. We really do gush over the desired child of royalty in one breath and scream for the \"termination\" of the unwanted-es in the next breath. We feel totally justified in demanding the \'right\" to choose whether this child lives or that one dies. We actually do believe that our feelings grant life and that our choice is what makes a baby a baby versus \"insentient tissue\". The child in the womb has no intrinsic value to us, only subjective value determined by exterior circumstances and desires, and the ultimate barometer, our feelings.
The child in the womb of a Duchess is celebrated and protected and called a baby. The child in the womb of a college student is called a threat to her future and killed. The child in the womb of an unwilling mother is called an unwelcome intruder and a parasite and killed. The child in the womb of a poor minority mother is considered a thief stealing food and resources from the family and killed. The child conceived in rape couldn\'t possibly be considered anything but vulgar and is killed.
In every case, the child is the same — a human person. Circumstances and feelings are irrelevant to that fact. The difference is our response. We can\'t have it both ways. If Kate\'s baby has always been a baby, then so is every baby in every mother\'s womb.
I realize that for centuries the birth of a royal baby has been met with lavish celebration while the birth of a poor child, a sick child, an \"imperfect\" child born to a less-than-picturesque family is either ignored or met with open disdain. God Himself came to this world a poor child, born among livestock because no one would give His mother a room. This foolish world continues to miss the miracle unless it comes wrapped in style and beauty.
The current mixed conduct toward expectant mothers and their babies is not a new phenomenon. Even our disregard for the child in the womb is nothing new in human history. Abortion is not a modern invention. It\'s an old, old evil. Living in a society where it is legal and sanctioned by the positive law of the land, however, is what makes our time so barbaric and grotesque.
That we have elevated abortion to the status of a \"right\" and tried to confer on it moral credibility is what makes us so-called civilized and enlightened people so depraved. And in our technologically-advanced world, with our knowledge of the human body and the window we have into the womb, we have absolutely no excuse for our selfish and hideous insistence that the child is not fully human, not a person, not a baby.
If we ever hope to achieve a nation where the children of poor families are given the same consideration as those of the rich; where babies of every race are treated with equal respect; where mothers, in every circumstance, are given the help, support, and protection they need and deserve, then we must start at square one. And square one is this: It is not a choice, but a child, and the child in the womb is a human person who has the right to live and be born. Period.
Only when that is settled and non-negotiable can we finally put all our energy where it belongs, and then the frightened young mother, or the overwhelmed mother, or the distraught mother, or the poor mother will not feel they\'re left to their own devices without support.
Yes, the experience of pregnancy can be anything from joyful to terrifying and everything in between. It can be a dizzying mix of emotions and physical challenges. But whatever the experience, the humanity of the child in the womb is an unchanging fact. Whether that makes anyone feel glad, sad or mad is simply immaterial.

6 August 2011
A few days ago, I posted my latest mixed tape. You can listen to it / stream it / download it from several places, including the player at the top of this post — but since you're here visiting the favoritist of my online presences (presensci?), I will send you right to the source. It's Mixtape #3.
Here is some backstory. Twice in the early '00s I made the unregrettable yet unwise decision to live in Los Angeles. Loved the fish tacos & fresh produce & afternoons at the beach. Hated the strategic socializing, Balkanized artistic scenes & overly siloed friendship worlds, and the creativity that went into people's creative ambitions rather than into creativity itself. (Also: brunch.)
Basically, I found these things to be true: The Day of the Locust, Mike Davis's City of Quartz, Fitzgerald's The Last Tycoon, Charles Bukowski, What Makes Sammy Run?. They're all true!
(Albeit maybe a bit less dramatic.)
(And, well, maybe I spent too much time in LA reading Hollywood novels.)
The bright spots in my life out there were the friends that I made and continue to know. You can visit some of their work via various internet gateways here & here & here & here & here & here. I'm sure I'm forgetting some people. Actually, lots of people. Sorry to the people! So many people!
Anyways, one of those persons mentioned above is my former LA roommate Seth, who has become a big fancy Hollywood director. In addition to now making big-ass budget narrative feature films, he's previously made a sort of genreless documentary-like thing that the best films of any sort I've ever seen, a very fine rock-doc that's as much about mortality & Mormanism as it is about rock, toured with a very admirable country band in the midst of a genuine crisis, and contributed to all manner of long-forgotten shots. Here is he:
As inspiring as his work itself can be, I've always found his work ethic to be as admirable as the final products. One forgets in the arts that what we do is work. Our forgetting is what makes so many elements of society misunderstand & fail to appreciate that work.
Of late, I've had vague aspirations to extend my creativity beyond the shepherding of various new recording artists and mid-career musicians, and moving pictures seem like they'd be something fun to be involved with in some as-of-yet unknown capacity. Seth has kindly served as something of a gateway, sending me some scripts — "the good ones" he told me.
Long story short, above is the imaginary soundtrack to one script he liked, a film that may never (knowing the film business, likely never) get made. It opens like this:
The winter stars, impossibly big and bright, fill the sky. We gaze on these ancient beacons of hope and inspiration; the same stars that stood witness to the birth of kings, inspired poets, gave hope to the hopeless. Then we trace a silver string of starlight down through the too-huge universe, to where this inspirational, ancient light comes to rest on…
Beer cans. Milwaukee's Best, to be specific.
The beer cans float in a kiddie pool. Next to a broken trampoline. In a yard with a rusted pick-up truck. Surrounded by many other yards decorated in much the same manner.
Welcome to SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – a city comprised of churches and strip bars equally – who's chief export seems to be its endless footage for the Cops TV series.
It's about a poor(ish) girl, her outsider friends, her dead parents, the rock'n'roll scene in the Pacific Northwest, a discovered mixtape, some not-quite specified past in the early 90s (or thereabouts).
I hope this latest mixtape brings some of that to mind, and maybe paints a picture larger, even, than that.

One of my fonder memories of growing up in an isolated town in northwestern Ontario in the 1950s was my delight when the mail brought fresh issues of Humpty Dumpty's Magazine and Children's Digest. What I didn't appreciate until long afterward was that Martin Gardner was a key contributor to the early success of these magazines.
For Humpty Dumpty, Gardner was responsible for writing stories about the adventures of Humpty Dumpty Junior and poems of moral advice from Humpty senior to his son.
"For eight happy years, most of the time working at home, I wrote Junior and the poem, and also provided each of the year's ten issues (summer months were skipped) with the magazine's activity features of the sort that destroyed pages," Gardner writes in his posthumously published autobiography Undiluted Hocus-Pocus (Princeton University Press, 2013).
For example, Gardner notes, you folded a page to change a picture, held it up to the light to see something on the back of a page, or moved a strip back and forth through slots.
Gardner also contributed to Children's Digest, writing both articles and filler material such as puzzles and brainteasers.
Among his many other writing activities, Gardner produced a series of articles on mathematical magic for the journal Scripta Mathematica, edited by Jekuthiel Ginsburg of Yeshiva University. These articles were later fashioned (with much additional material) into the book Mathematics, Magic, and Mystery, published in 1956 and still in print as a Dover paperback.
In the preface, Gardner writes: "So far as I am aware, the chapters to follow represent the first attempt to survey the entire field of modern mathematical magic. Most of the material has been drawn from the literature of conjuring, and from personal contacts with amateur and professional magicians rather than from the literature of mathematical recreations. It is the magician, not the mathematician, who has been the most prolific in creating mathematical tricks during the past half-century."
Around the same time, Gardner was introduced to a fascinating mathematical toy called a hexaflexagon. After learning as much as he could about flexagons, he submitted an article on the topic to Scientific American, and it was published in the December 1956 issue. The magazine had earlier published a Gardner article on logic machines.
Gardner's article on flexagons attracted widespread interest and led directly to his monthly "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American, starting with an article on a curious type of magic square. By coincidence, Gardner notes in Undiluted Hocus-Pocus, the name that Scientific American chose for his column had the same initial letters as his name.
"One of the pleasures in writing the column was that it introduced me to many top mathematicians, which of course I was not," Gardner modestly insists. "Their contributions to my column were far superior to anything I could write, and were a major reason for the column's growing popularity."
Indeed, many mathematicians owe their start to Gardner's columns, and his writing was certainly an inspiration to me (see "Martin Gardner's Generosity" and "Martin Gardner's Möbius Surprise").
October 21, 2013, is the 99th anniversary of Gardner's birth, and many Gardner enthusiasts are commemorating the anniversary in a variety of ways (see "Celebration of Mind"). The MAA-sponsored event in Washington, D.C. features a presentation by mathemagician Art Benjamin.
The title of Gardner's book Mathematics, Magic, and Mystery also happens to be the theme chosen by the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics (JPBM) for Mathematics Awareness Month in 2014, just in time for the 100th anniversary of Gardner's birth. Watch for more news and announcements about the exciting activities planned for April 2014.
Two recent books, both written by mathematicians, expand considerably on Gardner's original mathematical magic writings: Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks by Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham (Princeton University Press, 2012) and Mathematical Card Magic: Fifty-Two New Effects by Colm Mulcahy (A K Peters/CRC Press, 2013).
In his foreword to Magical Mathematics, Gardner writes: "If you are not familiar with the strange, semisecret world of modern conjuring you may be surprised to know that there are thousands of entertaining tricks with cards, dice, coins, and other objects that require no sleight of hand. They work because they are based on mathematical principles."

Columbia Psychiatry researchers have identified what they think may be a mechanism underlying the development of compulsive behaviors. The finding suggests possible approaches to treating or preventing certain characteristics of OCD.
OCD consists of obsessions, which are recurrent intrusive thoughts, and compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors that patients perform to reduce the severe anxiety associated with the obsessions. The disorder affects 2–3 percent of people worldwide and is an important cause of illness-related disability, according to the World Health Organization.
Using a new technology in a mouse model, the researchers found that repeated stimulation of specific circuits linking the brain's cortex and striatum produces progressive repetitive behavior. By targeting this region, it may be possible to stop abnormal circuit changes before they become pathological behaviors in people at risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study, which was led by Susanne Ahmari, MD, PhD, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia Psychiatry and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, was published in the June 7 issue of Science.
While the obsessions and compulsions that are the hallmarks of OCD are thought to be centered in the cortex, which controls thoughts, and the striatum, which controls movements, little is known about how abnormalities in these brain regions lead to compulsive behaviors in patients.
To simulate the increased activity that takes place in the brains of OCD patients, Dr. Ahmari and her colleagues used a new technology called optogenetics, in which light-activated ion channels are expressed in subsets of neurons in mice, and neural circuits are then selectively activated using light delivered through fiberoptic probes.
"What we found was really surprising," said Dr. Ahmari. "That activation of cortico-striatal circuits did not lead directly to repetitive behaviors in the mice. But if we repeatedly stimulated for multiple days in a row for only five minutes a day, we saw a progressive development of repetitive behaviors—in this case, repetitive grooming behavior—that persisted up to two weeks after the stimulation was stopped."
She added, "And not only that, when we treated the mice with fluoxetine, one of the most common medications used for OCD, their behavior went back to normal." The current study, as well as others currently being performed by Dr. Ahmari and her team, may ultimately provide clues for new treatment targets in terms of both novel drug development and direct stimulation techniques, including deep brain stimulation (DBS).
The study was supported by grants from NIMH (K08MH087718; K24 MH091555), the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Scholars Program, the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the Gray Matters Foundation, the Leon Levy Foundation, and a NARSAD Young Investigator Award.

Dear experts,
I'm looking for a way to efficiently process data using a Servlet Filter. I have come up with the following solution
class PipedWrapper - ServletResponseWrapper wraps a PipedOutputStream ...
class Consumer - This class connects PipedOutputStream to a PipedInputStream. The PipedInputStream writes out the content to the ServletOutputStream ...
The code runs in a separate thread and awaits for the data that is written via the PipedOutputStream via PipedWrapper
This does seem to work. I do see the data coming via the PipedOutputStream to the PipedInputStream and it is exactly the data that I have written out in the servlet.
But as soon as I try to write out the data to the ServletOutputStream, it fails. Well I don't see an error, but I also don't see any output.
My question to you is: is it possible to write out data via a separate thread or are there known limitations?
I have included an example to give you an idea.

How To Remove FRP on Moto-XT1724_XT1726
What is Secure Boot?
Secure Boot is one feature of the latest Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) The feature defines an entirely new interface between operating system and firmware/BIOS.
When enabled and fully configured, Secure Boot helps a computer/phone resist attacks and infection from malware. Secure Boot detects tampering with boot loaders, key operating system files, and unauthorized option ROMs by validating their digital signatures. Detections are blocked from running before they can attack or infect the system.
How does Secure Boot work?
Secure Boot works like a security gate. Code with valid credentials gets through the gate and executes. However, Secure Boot blocks at the gate and rejects a code that has bad credentials, or no credential.
On this page, you will find the link to download the Moto-XT1724 and XT1726 FRP Reset File, which contained boot download agent [DA] File which can be used with any supported box/dongle by selecting custom DA file, for MTK chipset, like infinity cm 2, Nck box/Dongle, Avengers, Inferno.

The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help after nearly 4,000 pounds of copper was stolen from a wind farm in Orangeville.
Deputies say large-diameter copper has been taken on three separate occasions since June from the Wind Farm Power Station on Centerline Road, which is currently under construction.
Many of the lines are energized which are extremely dangerous.
The sheriff's office says area scrap yards should report anyone suspiciously selling large amounts of copper.
A $1,000 reward has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the suspect(s). Anyone with information is urged to call the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office (585) 786-8989.

Thousands of Wall Streeters have been pushed to the exits, but those who remain could be handsomely rewarded.
After hemorrhaging profits last year, many major banks posted first quarter profits that beat analyst expectations. Now they're tucking away coin from the rebound to pay their peeps big bonuses again, The New York Times reported.
The biggest banks -- which include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America -- set aside more than $36 billion for compensation for the first quarter, according to The Times. If the trend continues, finance employees are set to see their wallets thicken to pre-financial crisis levels, the paper reported.
U.S. & World
"Like everything on Wall Street, they're starting to sin again," Brad Hintz, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, told the Times. "As you see a recovery, you'll see everybody's compensation beginning to rise."
Critics say that instead of funneling profits back to workers, the banks should instead fatten dividends for shareholders who have seen their investments plummet.
The banks counter that nothing is set in stone, especially if the year does not turn out to be so profitable.
Still, Goldman Sachs is the poster child to illustrate the new trend, according to the Times.
Last year, bank employees took a haircut of nearly half their pay. A few more good quarters, though, and the bank's average pay could add up to $569,220 per worker for the year. That approaches the record amount Goldman paid out to workers in 2007 -- right before the economy fell off a cliff.

We have a house full of family: Jo Ann's parents, my brother Dean, and two locals who spent the night just to be with us - Polly and Peter. It felt wonderful to have everyone here. Made me feel safe. This is love for Pablo in the highest order.
Pablo had his best night since this phase of his life began on Wednesday. He woke frequently, sucked entire glasses of water through a straw, and would then say, in his little voice, 'I'm tired, I want to go back to sleep now.' This happened at least four times.
He has not vomited any blood since we arrived at home last night. The oxygen tubes running into his nose are making up for what his body can no longer produce. A dozen times during the night, with the palms of his hands, Pablo rubbed his nose, his face, his ears. Each time, the oxygen tube would pop out of his nose. Sometimes it'd go into his mouth and make a big hissing sound. Other times it'd slide up to his forehead. Jo Ann and I took turns being on oxygen duty. We'd close our eyes when the other was on duty. Not sure we slept exactly, but closing our eyes helped.
Overall, Pablo's breathing is becoming more labored. His face is ashen. His abdomen pistons in and out pushing his breath as it can.
Even when Pablo is asleep, Jo Ann, Grady and I talk to Pablo. Many times when we think he's fully asleep, he answers or acknowleges us. We tell Pablo we love him ('I love you too,' he responds)... we are grateful that he chose us to be his family ('You're welcome')... everything he's feeling is perfectly OK... he has been so strong and it's OK to rest...
I can't write any more right now.

Local veterans return
Editors Note: This four-day series looks at the experiences of returning veterans and the challenges they face.
Timothy Oliver is haunted by the fact he survived when the rest of the team he led died on a bloody battlefield in Afghanistan.
Bob Brammer wonders what would have happened if he and his fellow marines would have been allowed to take out Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War.
Michael Long regrets being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as his wife slowly succumbed to an illness that would eventually kill her.
These are some of the things these local veterans carry.
In the last 10 years – the longest period this country has been at war in its history – millions of men and women have been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. Thousands – 6,481 by latest count – have been killed. Nearly 50,000 have been wounded.
Not one has come back unchanged. This series starts with their stories.
Some carry regret. Some carry pride. Some carry ghosts. Some carry medals. Many carry all these things.
They carry these things as they return to being husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, students, bureaucrats or laborers. Some return to the void of not knowing who they are outside the military.
Some talk about what they have seen and done, but many don't.
As a cohort, they are almost invisible. The Veterans Administration estimates that 660 veterans between 17 and 44 years old live in La Plata County of about 4,550 vets total.
The number of young people who graduated from Fort Lewis College this May is likely greater than the number here who have seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan. But their small numbers belie their large presence in local and national safety nets. Durango's crisis center and homeless shelter report seeing veterans at much higher rates proportionally than the general population. And a Harvard researcher's study found that the cost of providing disability and medical care to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans over the course of their lives could cost up to $700 billion.
This generation of veterans is unique from its predecessors. Advances in battlefield medical care have made it possible for soldiers to survive injuries that would have killed them in the past. But these injuries are likely to affect them throughout their lives. And while significant proportions of soldiers in Vietnam and World War II were drafted, recent wars were fought with an all-volunteer force. Because of this smaller pool, many of the men and women who went to war went not just once, but twice or more. Military historians say the amount of combat some recent veterans have seen is unprecedented in U.S. history.
The toll that this has taken on many of them is immense. The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof in an April 14 column decried the high rate of suicide among veterans, which has been estimated at one battlefield death for every 25 suicides.
But to only talk about the damage inflicted by war doesn't tell the whole story.
It also creates bonds among soldiers that have no counterpart in the civilian world. It pushes men and women to commit heroic acts and accomplish things they never believed possible. It takes them to places they never would have seen. It stops bad people from doing bad things to innocent people.
"War is hell," wrote Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried, a collection of semi-autobiographical stories about Vietnam, "but that's not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead."
In his book, O'Brien enumerates the items soldiers toted as they "humped" from mission to mission in the Vietnamese jungle. Some were necessary – guns, grenades – others were talismanic – love letters, a girlfriend's pantyhose.
"They carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried," he wrote.
This weight, both awesome and terrible, remains long after soldiers doff their uniforms.

For some people the term summer knitting is an oxymoron. But those people aren't hard core knitters like us.
I love the fact that knitting is so portable. You can take with you anywhere you go.
I personally love to knit outside. I live in an apartment, so I don't have a backyard. I often take my knitting to the park. For me it's perfect - sitting in the shade helps keep me cool enough that I can still work on wool projects without getting too warm, but I still get the warmth of the sun on my shoulders and maybe even a little color on my pale, pale legs.
I have a blanket that I like to take with me and a light weight camping chair (so my back is supported and I can enjoy hours of uninterrupted knitting time). Some other essentials for outdoor knitting – something to drink, a snack, my iPod, a backup project (in case I get bored with what I am working on) and a hard copy of my pattern.
But the park isn't the only place for some summer knitting. I know that Betsy (CEY President) loves to knit beach side. For her there is nothing more relaxing than hearing the waves of the ocean break along the shore while pluggin' away on some stockinette stitch. It becomes almost meditative to her.
Another good place for some summer knitting is pool side. Although I don't have a backyard, my apartment complex does have a pool and I have recently discovered they are open until 8 PM - which means after work, I can head down there with my knitting and lounge in one of the chairs already provided for me and zone out with my knitting - often a pair of socks, but not always. Of course I will still take something to drink and my iPod for the ultimate knitting experience.
Where is your favorite place to knit/crochet in the summer? Do you venture outside, to the beach or pool, or even the ballpark? Let us know!
Knit on!

|By Bernice Yeung and Grace Rubenstein
|Center for Investigative Reporting
|Publish date: Sept. 4, 2013
The summer heat had not yet hit its suffocating peak in the Central Valley's tomato fields when Olivia Tamayo's supervisor approached her during the midmorning break.
He needed her to work in another area of the 15,000-acre farm, he said. In the company truck, he drove so fast along the dirt road that it jostled Tamayo around in the cab. As he sped into an unfamiliar stand of almond trees, she asked him where he was going. He stopped deep in the orchard labyrinth.
"You're going to be mine," she remembers him saying. The crew boss showed Tamayo that he was carrying a handgun. He placed it on the dashboard. Then he raped her, she said.
Despite Tamayo's accusation that the supervisor, Rene Rodriguez, would rape her twice more, no criminal charges were filed. And Rodriguez repeatedly denied the claims.
But in what would become a landmark case, the federal government filed a civil sexual harassment lawsuit against Tamayo's employer, Harris Farms, one of the country's largest agribusinesses and owner of a popular restaurant along Interstate 5. In 2004, Tamayo's case was the first federal sexual harassment lawsuit against a grower to reach a trial.
A jury found that the company failed to curb the sexual abuse and then retaliated against Tamayo for complaining. It awarded Tamayo nearly $800,000.
Since then, there have been few signs that conditions have gotten better for farmworkers in California – or elsewhere across the country.
Women working in the country's fields and food processing plants continue to face persistent peril of sexual violence and harassment, an investigation by The Center for Investigative Reporting and the Investigative Reporting Program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism has revealed.
In partnership with FRONTLINE and television network Univision, reporters spent nearly a year reviewing thousands of pages of documents and crisscrossing the nation to hear workers' stories of sexual assault. The reporting was the subject of a documentary that aired this summer.
Although the exact scope of sexual violence and harassment against agricultural workers is impossible to pinpoint, reports by agricultural workers span the nation and, particularly, California, home to the nation's most productive agricultural regions and largest population of farmworkers.
In May, the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board, which enforces state labor laws for farmworkers, filed its first case related to sexual harassment, deciding to make the issue a priority because it wasn't being adequately addressed. In that case, a woman harvesting sweet potatoes in Stanislaus County filed claims that she was fired after accusing a supervisor of sexually assaulting her.
Most women don't come forward like Tamayo did. Many low-wage migrant laborers remain silent about workplace sexual abuse out of shame, fear of deportation or worries they'll be fired. They face intimidating language barriers and an ignorance of workplace laws.
When Tamayo won her case, her lawyer, William J. Smith, thought it would change the landscape for agricultural workers. Today, he's not so sure.
"Even though Olivia Tamayo stood up for her rights, people are still afraid," he said. "I don't think it caught on the way we thought it would because the fear is still out there."
CIR and IRP conducted the first systematic analysis of the 41 lawsuits filed by the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission against agricultural businesses in the last 15 years.
In virtually all of the lawsuits, the alleged perpetrators held positions of power in the company; in more than half of the lawsuits, the superiors were accused of targeting multiple victims. In cases in which sexual assault and rape are alleged, these supervisors remained on the job for years without fear of arrest, and law enforcement has done almost nothing to prosecute potential crimes.
More than 4 out of 5 workers who reported the problem to their employers say they were demoted, fired or subjected to further abuse, the analysis shows.
The lawsuits emerged from 1,106 sexual harassment complaints filed by agricultural workers with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since 1998. The majority of the complaints are dismissed by the federal commission or settle out of court, and the details remain secret.
"Sexual violence doesn't happen unless there's an imbalance of power," said William R. Tamayo, the San Francisco regional attorney for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He is not related to Olivia Tamayo. "And in the agricultural industry, the imbalance of power between perpetrator, company and the worker is probably the greatest."
The justice system for victims is an imperfect one.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is charged with enforcing workplace civil rights laws, is the only government entity actively pursuing these cases. But it cannot bring criminal charges. It can file only civil lawsuits against the employers – not the perpetrators – for failing to stop on-the-job sexual harassment.
CIR and IRP could not find a single case filed with the commission that had been criminally prosecuted.
In some cases, local prosecutors are reluctant to file criminal charges. Sheriffs and police officials said these cases can be difficult to pursue because there often is scant evidence and few witnesses.
Prosecutors didn't take up Olivia Tamayo's case. And years after the jury verdict, her former employer, Harris Farms, has continued to deny any wrongdoing. The workers had a consensual relationship that the company did not know about, CEO John Harris said in a statement. Although the jury believed the accused employee was a supervisor, "we felt he was not," Harris said.
Olivia Tamayo declined to talk about her case for this story because she says the memory of the abuse is like a wound that's still sore to the touch.
Poised and soft-spoken, she lives in a spotless, rust-colored house in a modern subdivision about 30 miles from her former employer. Her five children are grown – she no longer rises at 4:30 a.m. to make tortillas for their lunch – and she spends her days tending to her ailing husband.
For his part, Rodriguez retired from Harris Farms in 1999. During an interview at his home in South Texas, Rodriguez insisted that he and Olivia Tamayo had dated. She accused him of rape, he said, because she wanted money.
"No, no, no, no," he said when asked if he'd used violence against her. "If that was how it was from the beginning, I would have been jailed or something."
As the home of the first major legal efforts, California is the epicenter of farmworker sexual harassment and assault cases.
The attention and success of the initial wave of cases from California "was a factor in paving the way for more farmworker sexual harassment cases to be filed throughout the rest of the country," said Mike Meuter, director of litigation, advocacy and training for California Rural Legal Assistance.
The California Agricultural Labor Relations Board had never filed a complaint related to sexual harassment until May.
Under the guidance of general counsel Sylvia Torres-Guillén, the board has begun to make it a priority.
In the May case, Elvia Hernandez, who harvested sweet potatoes for Sandhu Brothers Poultry & Farming in Stanislaus County, said a supervisor sexually harassed her by masturbating repeatedly in front of her, offering to pay her for sex and forcibly kissing her. Hernandez claims that after she reported the harassment, she was fired.
An attorney for the company, a small family farm, said he believes sexual harassment is "not an area where the ALRB (Agricultural Labor Relations Board) should be involved with." The attorney, Jakrun Sodhi, also called the allegations "specious."
The case will be heard by an administrative law judge in November.
"This is something that has been going on in the fields but that has not been sufficiently addressed," Torres-Guillén said.

If you ask Anand Chandrasekher why Intel has struggled so mightily in the mobile chip business, he'll tell you that his old employer is a great athlete that is trying to play the wrong sport.
The mobile chip business is like a triathlon combining low-power processing horsepower, wireless know-how and graphics muscle. And Intel is kind of like Lance Armstrong. No, Chandrasekher isn't necessarily saying that Intel is using performance-enhancing drugs, but rather that it is facing challenges in moving beyond its original sport.
"Lance Armstrong was fantastic as a biker, not withstanding any of his habits," the Qualcomm marketing chief told AllThingsD's Ina Fried at this week's D11 conference. "But when he switched from biking to marathoning and did the New York City Marathon, he didn't do as well … I think Intel faces some of that."
As for his new employer, he says Qualcomm is "a company that is born mobile."
"This is a company that has reinvented itself over the past 20-plus years several times," he said.
So what's coming next for mobile devices? Lots more sensors and media capabilities that approach those of a home theater, all on a phone or tablet.
Here's the video interview:

As libraries increasingly use technologies such as CD-ROM, the Internet, virtual libraries, and automated databases, the duties of library and information services specialists will expand and evolve accordingly. LIS specialists assist with customizing databases and instruct patrons in how to use computer systems to access data. These specialists work in large libraries as well as in rural areas.
The Library and Information Services program will provide information about services requiring technical skills in such vital areas as circulation of materials, acquisition, and processing of all types of materials. The program's courses focus particularly on information resources and management of a small library.
This Associate of Arts degree is offered jointly by Central Community College and Northeast Community College in cooperation with the Nebraska Library Commission and University of Nebraska at Omaha. Central Community College also offers a certificate program in Library and Information Services.
The library courses in the certificate program are designed to provide the skills necessary for certification as a public librarian in Nebraska, with an emphasis on rural needs. The A.A. degree concentration provides an opportunity for students to transfer to the University of Nebraska at Omaha for completion of a baccalaureate degree if they choose.
Scholarships are available through the State Library Commission.
The job outlook for library technicians is good. The continued growth in library technology means a continued need for well-trained individuals.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average salary for library technicians in Nebraska is $23,230.

My thoughts on the film 'The Counselor'
The biggest blockbuster film in Korea at the moment is neither a spectacular action nor a romantic comedy – normally the genre much preferred by the holiday crowd. Instead, it's a serious human drama titled, 'The Counselor.' It tells the story of a lawyer who transforms from a money-grabbing tax lawyer into a civil rights advocate throughout the film. At first glance, it doesn't sound like a kind of a movie that people would go and watch on Christmas or during the holiday season. But this film has a very significant aspect to Korean people. This film is based on the true story of Roh, Moo-hyun, the 9th president of the Republic of Korea (2003-2008).
Last Thursday on Dec. 26, I joined the screening event hosted by OhMyNews and watched the film with about 250 members of OMN's '100,000 Supporters' Club.' Since Oh, Yeon-ho, the head journalist of OMN, was the person who Roh allowed his first- and last- interviews, watching the film with Oh and his team made the viewing experience more intense and sincere. After the screening, about 50 audience members joined the after-party and had a lively yet somewhat solemn conversation about the film and the current Korea. Through them, I learned about the real event that the film was based on.
To be honest, I didn't know much about Roh, Moo-hyun. I had left Korea for the United States in 1997, and hadn't been following the news in Korea since. I didn't have much interest in politics, and to my shame, I didn't bother to learn who the current president was until it came up during the conversations with other people.
But then on the early morning of May 23, 2009 in New York time, I got a phone call from my little sister Gina. I was sleeping in my Brooklyn apartment. Half-awaken and a bit annoyed, I picked up the phone. Then I heard her crying. I was alarmed. I thought something bad happened to her or my family. Yes, something bad happened. But it wasn't to my family.
My sister said Roh, Moo-hyun killed himself. She lamented over the country that drove him to suicide. She said she wished to leave Korea. She couldn't stand living among the people who let this tragic event happen.
I didn't know what to say. As I was listening to her wail turning into a sob, I wondered about who this guy, Roh, Moo-hyun was. I had no idea what kind of background he had or what kind of president he was. But one thing was very clear to me. He must have been a good man for his death invoked such despair to my good-hearted little sister.
A few month later, my sister Gina was diagnosed with leukemia and died in May 26, 2010 – only a year after Roh's death. I often think that if my sister had lived and I had died in her place, the world would have been a better place. Her loving and caring heart could have alleviated the sorrows of many people around her. Now I think of more than a few individuals who could have made Korea a better country if they had died in Roh's place.
I had lived 28 years in Korea before moving to the States. And I've been living here since April this year. You think I know Korea well. But no, it's a mystery to me all along. The man who was responsible for so many inhuman actions and injustice depicted in The Counselor is still alive and well except some financial dent in his thick pocketbook. The man who used his presidential post to accumulate his own personal wealth is alive and well. The current president withdrew a pledge to give all senior citizens a monthly pension only 9 months after she was elected. She said it was simply unaffordable. Then, last month, the parliament passed the pension plan for the Senators and councilmen.
When I heard the news that about 5,000 riot policemen stormed into the Korean Confederations of Trade Union(KCTU) office to arrest the railroad union leaders on strike, I couldn't believe my ears. I thought those days were long gone in Korea at least two decades ago. I thought Korean government has matured enough to understand the true meaning of Democracy. Sadly I was mistaken.
As I was going home to my mom's run-down small studio, I wished that
Korea would become a country in which good men can survive, and then ultimately thrive. I hope that some millions of people who watched this film shall put their hearts together to make that wish come true…

Thanks for reading,
– George

iPhone 4 on Verizon Should AT&T Be Worried?
The launch of the iPhone on Verizon is just weeks away and At&T is pushing hard to regain current customers confidence and sign new ones. The recently started sending "Network Upgrade" letters to subscribers in large Metropolitan areas claiming increased coverage (data and cellular).
AT&T is also still pushing the iPhone 3GS for $49.99. Obviously Verizon will not have a cheap iPhone for some time now.
Are these attempts too little too late? Most people who have been with AT&T know about the poor reception issues and sometimes crazy data bills that plagued iPhone users. Verizon is also known to be a stable cellular provider whose network is usually chosen by the business person.
AT&T will be pushing it's differences which seem to be a cheaper (yet older technology) iPhone 3GS and it's ability to simultaneously use voice and data. The simultaneous voice and data is really one of the only advantages we can see between AT&T's iPhone 4 and Verizon's.
Which brings up the question? Is the possibility of a better network going to be enough to make you switch providers? Have the business phone users been behind the surge in Android sales as the casual smartphone consumer stays with AT&T to say they have an Apple iPhone, even if they have to borrow their friends cell phone to make the call?
Verizion is really relying a lot on it's network and advertising reach. Is it enough? The iPhone user has been a vanity consumer and early adopter. Networks have not swayed them in the past. Or will Androids push with 4G be the mobile game changer?

Microsoft is found in pockets and PCs and places of business all across the land. Both good companies. Both successful companies. But neither one as much in common with the other...EXCEPT FOR A LOGO.
Microsoft's new logo does look suspiciously similar to Ritter Sport's four-colour tile grid. Sure, the tile colours are swapped around in three of Microsoft's four quadrants—and the white window-pane lines in RItter's are slightly thicker—but the similarity of this simple yet instantly recognisable design are unmistakable.

I just looked at the manual for your camera. There's a caution that an OS not set up for SDXC might ask you to format the card. That made me wonder if your computer is formatting and reading your other SDXC card. If so, the one card might be faulty. Better one bad card, than one bad camera.
Woooooo I didn't know you had an adapterGuarantee that's the issueMy r300 works perfect with sandisk ultra cards but will not work at all with a micro > sd adapterGlad to hear the test seems to have worked. Do another test with the original card and see if it works
It could be the way the card adapter seated in the camera.<clip>

"All we have to do is remember who we are. We are not Germans. We're not peasants in China. We're not peasants in Russia. We have a legacy and a history of fighting for liberty. Americans have always fought for liberty. And we will fight again. So we will not be the Fourth Reich. We will not let that happen. Not without a fight." - Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, speaking on the Alex Jones show on January 12, 2012.
"I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth." - John Adams.
"At a period when other nations have but lisped, our deep voice is heard afar. Long enough, have we been skeptics with regard to ourselves, and doubted whether, indeed, the political Messiah had come. But he has come in us." - Herman Melville.Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989, the U.S. Global Empire has acted as the God of the Earth, colonizing and destroying nations weaker than it while justifying its crimes against humanity by holding up the bible of democracy and freedom. Satan, who hijacked America's soul and mind, was dancing and laughing in the background as all this was happening.
Washington's Global Empire has turned reality upside down and casted a spell over the world. As the demon child of America Karl Rove stated to author Ron Suskind, "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
On September 11, 2001, the U.S. Global Empire made use of its absolutist power to dominate the global political reality and historical narrative by sacrificing three thousand of its own citizens with the assistance of Israel and scapegoated Islam for the evil crime.
Without missing a beat, the mind soldiers of the Empire in the mainstream press used the tragic events on 9/11 to mobilize world public opinion for a global war of terror that has ruined America's standing in the world and pushed the Middle East to the brink of destruction.
The crimes that have been committed in America's name in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world have left a dark stain on the nation. In the hands of the banksters, military-industrial complex, and bloodthirsty Zionists, America has been reduced to a third world police state.
But the stain is removable. And Satan's wasteland is not all dark. Ron Paul's political education of the American people is a bright spot. Dr. Paul is undoubtedly America's greatest ambassador living today.
Also, the Alex Jones show and the alternative media are doing the world a great service by shining a light on government evil and high treason in Washington. It is the light of truth and knowledge that makes possible the reality of peace, understanding, and justice.
"The way to improve society and reform the world," said John Adams, "is to enlighten men, spread knowledge, and convince the multitude that they have, or may have, sense, knowledge, and virtue." This is what the alternative media is doing. It is spreading knowledge and enhancing understanding about 9/11 and the war of terror, not paranoia, conspiracy theories, and mindless fear.
But spreading knowledge is not enough. Taking action is also necessary. The grassroots constitutional organization the Oath Keepers is taking action by creating the political space in which a constructive dialogue that is grounded in American history has the potential to raise public awareness of America's descent into spiritual darkness and political tyranny.
America can be saved from tyranny, and her honour can be restored because her values, her laws, and her people are all great. The American people are idealists and deeply moral who are led by cunning Satanists and Terrorists. That is the irony of America.
"What Americans share," wrote New York Times columnist David Brooks in his 2004 book On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense, "is an inherited sense that history has a story line; and that each of us, individually and as a citizen of the nation, plays a role in bringing the story to its happy ending." He added:
"This mentality leads to a few behavioral traits. For example, historians point out that a tremendous strain of anxiety runs through U.S. history, the nagging and sometimes panicked sense that we are failing to live up to our ideals and mission, that if we Americans fail, then that will be the most terrible failure in human history.The 9/11 truth movement and the anti-Federal Reserve movement are extensions of the 1960s civil rights movement and the 19th-century abolitionist movement. The civil rights and abolitionist movements were movements against black slavery. The 9/11 truth and anti-Federal Reserve movements are movements against human slavery. All four movements are based on the principles of the American Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.
This anxiety propels Americans to strive and reform perpetually. It helps account for the periodic awakenings and moralistic crusades that recur throughout American history--the Great Awakenings, the abolitionist movement, the temperance movement, the civil rights."
The current political awakening in America, triggered by the spread of 9/11 truth, has gained steam since 2007 due to the rise of Ron Paul, the political bankruptcy of Barack Obama, and the emergence of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
This political awakening is global and it will dramatically alter the course of 21st century politics and governance. The people's awakening is not a burst of bright flash in a cave of darkness, but the rise of a new consciousness that armies and tyrants cannot defeat.
America's political awakening will enable the restoration of America's fundamental values and laws, as well as her reputation and honour. Author and professor Chalmers Johnson, who awoke many Americans and people around the world with his Blowback series, said on Democracy Now on February 27, 2007, that "if we do see a renaissance of citizenship in America, then I believe we could recapture our government."
Johnson said that the American people must choose between ending their global empire or ending their Republic and freedoms. Below is an excerpt from his appearance on Democracy Now five years ago:
"you've got to reconstitute the constitutional system in America, or it is over. That is that empires — once you go in the direction of empire, you ultimately lead to overstretch, bankruptcy, coalitions of nations hostile to your imperialism. We're well on that route.Johnson's warning has been heard. The Oath Keepers have heard it. The alternative media is listening. Occupy Wall Street activists and Tea Party activists understand the warning and are heeding the call.
The way that it might be stopped is by a mobilization of inattentive citizens. I don't know that that's going to happen. I'm extremely dubious, given the nature of conglomerate control of, say, the television networks in America for the sake of advertising revenue. We see Rupert Murdoch talking about buying a third of the Los Angeles Times. But, nonetheless, there is the internet, there is Amy Goodman, there are — there's a lot more information than there was.
One of the things I have experienced in these three books is a much more receptive audience of alarmed Americans to Nemesis than to the previous two books, where there was considerable skepticism, so that one — if we do see a renaissance of citizenship in America, then I believe we could recapture our government. If we continue politics as in the past, then I think there is no alternative but to say Nemesis is in the country, she's on the premises, and she is waiting to carry out her divine mission."
The demons and liars who stand against the message of freedom and peace do not want to hear Johnson's warning, or the voice of 9/11 truth and justice. But they have no choice but to listen. Every cursed dictator learns that deaf ears are dead ears. The sirens of tyrants can't drown out the calls for liberty and justice.
"The god who gave us life," said Thomas Jefferson, "gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."
