Ever since then, I have been on a downloading streak and I have tried to download old movies and anime films that I have missed (e.g Fifth Element, Pi, High Fidelity etc) Finally caught Spriggan last night, I had only managed to catch the last 1/3 of the show when Arts Central screened it half a year ago. I could have checked out any album by downloading them for a listen first before shelling out my hard earned money for them, but CD buying is really an impulse purchase (that is how I managed to have 600 CDs *Sigh*) and I always end up buying without listening to them.

-ne Out of the ashes of anthrax rises the future world order Dr Dlawer Ala’Aldeen PhD MRCPath: Consultant MicrobiologistChairman, Kurdish Scientific and Medical AssociationPublished in www.Kurdishmedia.com on 26 October, 2001. It is interesting that the list of agents stockpiled by the Russians and Americans includes agents as ineffective as typhus, Q-fever and brucella which are not fatal in the modern era of antibiotics and include crop damaging agents such as wheat stem rust and rice blast that will not affect humans. Of the endless list of possible agents, which are invariably either bacteria or viruses, only anthrax, plague, small pox and botulinum toxin are thought to be likely agents to be used by terrorists. Of these, anthrax is probably the most serious bioterror agent because it needs the simplest of manufacturing infrastructure and is most durable and suitable for many forms of delivery, including, as we have seen, by mail. However, like most chemical and biological weapons (CBWs), anthrax is largely a horror agent. What is the anthrax agent? Anthrax is primarily the disease of herbivore animal who would ingest soil-contaminated vegetables and develop intestinal anthrax, followed by blood poisoning and death. This form of anthrax is by far the most common, and the mildest, form of the disease and is an occupational health problem. The skin form of anthrax is the most likely one to be acquired from mail-delivered spores and is treatable with antibiotics. Another form of anthrax is the intestinal one, acquired via ingestion of contaminated animal products and may be fatal. In contrast, the more severe form of the disease is the inhalational (pulmonary) anthrax, which is almost 90% fatal, unless aborted at the incubation period or treated at the early prodromal phase (when the first flu-like signs and symptoms start appearing). Can terrorists prepare anthrax spores: The Japanese group of Aum Shinrikyo sect, which consisted of skilled medics and scientists, produced and disseminated (unsuccessfully) anthrax spores in Japan. An anthrax-vaccinated terrorist with basic microbiology skills can easily manufacture quantities of anthrax spores from local animal isolates. The latest USA anthrax isolates are unlikely to have originated from Soviet CBW plants, they are said to be sensitive to penicillin and doxycycline (the two first line antibiotics in naturally occurring anthrax). Iraq is another likely source of anthrax for the Al-Qaida terrorists who would have plenty in common with the regime in Baghdad. The Aum Shinrikyo cult of Japan, who managed to poison Tokyo underground commuters with the nerve agent, sarin, failed to deliver anthrax successfully in and around the city, despite repeated attempts. The worst that it can cause is the skin form of anthrax and rarely, but tragically, inhalational form. The nightmare scenario is if the terrorists were able to make the spores air-born and cause more inhalational anthrax in least suspecting populations. The terrorists were able to aerosolise anthrax in the ventilation system of US House of Representatives, but congressmen are not the least suspecting population. His plan might have been to spray American cities with spores and cause inhalational anthrax . In 1972, WHO experts suggested that 50 Kg of anthrax spores, released from an aircraft over an urban population of five million would cause 250,000 cases of the disease. However, the biggest worry is the thought of the quantities of anthrax spores that Atta was planning to aerosolise. Anthrax does not spread easily between people and remains susceptible to many antibiotics, and, in the UK at least, there will be no shortage of antibiotic supply.

Foram aproximadamente 6 quilómetros, onde além do silêncio envolvente se pôde observar à nossa esquerda, imponente e altaneiro o palácio dos Chavões e mais à frente à direita e mais distante, a alta Quinta da Fonte Bela, onde consta, ainda existem os maiores tonéis de madeira do Ribatejo. FERROVIAS Depois de passarmos sob a ponte ferroviária da linha do Norte no Vale de Santarém, subimos à ponte d´Asseca e mais à frente, já na estrada para a Póvoa da Isenta, entrámos no traçado original da ferrovia de Rio Maior. Agora desprovida de carris, a então ferrovia trazia o carvão das minas de lignite de Rio Maior até ao Vale de Santarém, e daqui fazia a ligação à linha do Norte. Ao longo do itinerário da via fomos sendo constantemente acompanhados à direita pelas zonas alagadiças e pantanosas como o Paul da Anana, de João Andrade e o das Salgadas e à esquerda, sobranceiros e altivos os cabeços como o da Ponte do Celeiro (que deu origem à aldeia com o mesmo nome), O Melim e o do Mata Quatro. pelas suas características de posição altaneira, formou com as próximas da Ponte do Celeiro, da Ponte d´Asseca e a do Casal do Paul, importantes pontos, militarmente estratégicos, em algumas guerras como as invasões francesas (comandadas pelo General Massena), a guerra de 1834 (entre Miguelistas e Liberais) e a Patuleia em 1847.

Marleen - the assistant’s name - knew that it was less expensive, by the way, and never asked where to book.The two lights in the corridor before entering the room were still calmly incandescent with their soothing light.

Peaking at just a bit over five feet and wearing a workman’s hat that slightly covered his thick, heavy black-rimmed glasses, he had little chance of catching a ride on the bus. Once he harnessed a bike helmet over his shoulder carried two strong coil type magnets in his hands in order to find the right place and time. That is, if we can get to him before we are bound and possibly annihilated by his profound strategy, wrapped up in one small, wrecklessly organized notebook.

He does, however, stay true to the ripping nature of the story here, too, forgoing the more civilized and beautiful customs one might see in films, again, like Lawrence of Arabia, favoring instead more barbaric customs, like the natives’ insistence on playing polo with the heads of defeated war chiefs. Anyway, what I’m saying is, they’re that fun to watch.Over the course of the two hours and change, you really, really bond with these characters. I get the feeling that most of the people reading this thing (all six of you) haven’t seen the picture, so I’m not going to give away the ending, except to say that what happens and what it says about the bond between the two men. This is one of those endings that really stays with me.Still, it’s a damn fun movie, despite the tragic end and I feel weird ending an appreciation of such a ripping adventure on a down note, so I’m going to leave you with a quote from Peachy about Daniel. He can break wind at both ends simultaneously - which is more than any god can do.”

I’ve been a bit down on Google lately, because I even though I can’t live without gmail anymore, their more recent releases have not impressed me a bit. Calendar is every bit as good as gmail though.Everything I liked about 30boxes is still there. Gmail will now prompt you if a message appears to have an event in it, and you can add it to your calendar. Not sure if there is anyway currently to use a website’s iCalendar file without first saving it offline.Not really a calendar issue, but there needs to be a Calendar link from Gmail.

KC Against Sinclair: Kansas City Protest Announced

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Array

As you may know, the Sinclair Media Group is forcing its affiliate television stations to preempt regularly scheduled prime time programming to air an anti-Kerry documentary, titled Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, just days before the election. This is a blatantly partisan effort on the part of a company that owns 62 stations, many of which are in the critical swing states of Ohio, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin, to affect the outcome of the presidential election. How would people feel if a similar company forced it’s broad-reaching stations to air Farenheit 9/11 in key battleground states a week and a half before the election?

On October 11, 2004, the Washington Post reported that the Sinclair Broadcast Group had ordered all 62 of its stations to air Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal without commercials in prime-time next week. Stolen Honor is a privately produced film that claims that John Kerry’s antiwar testimony to Congress in 1971 and his subsequent antiwar protests lengthened the imprisonment and made the treatment of American POWs in Vietnam more harsh. It also claims that Kerry hurt troop morale, and effected the treatment of all Vietnam veterans upon their return to the United States.

Who is Sinclair?

According to their website, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. is one of the largest and most diversified television broadcasting companies in the country today. Sinclair owns and operates, programs, or provides sales services to 62 television stations in 39 markets. Sinclairlink

She has an upbeat personality that will surely make you cheery when you talk to her.Barely a minute have passed after the call, my cellphone was ringing again. Of course, it was good to have a chat with him again and we gabbed for more than 30 minutes (long distance call, hun!).And there were more! We were talking for almost an hour when I had to end the call to, guess what, answer another call! Because my conversation with Ms Annette didn’t end with a good night and goodbye, I called her back and we had another hour (easy) of gabbing. It was almost midnight when we called it a day.I felt that it was of no coincidence that I got a couple of calls right after talking to God.

Friday was Chris’s game but it was rained out so Jess and I ended up missing it because the rain date was Saturday and Saturday we had Apple picking from 10-6. Apple Picking was soooo fun. We went on a hayride and then we went and picked apples and I climbed trees in my sneaker heals! We then went through a maze and then had caramel apples and apple cider then we headed back to the church to bake bake bake!!! Then I took a 15 minute nape and then got up and went to church to teach Sunday school. Lindsey never showed up for Sunday School so I was in there teaching all alone! At 11:20 Jess came into teach Sunday school and no one showed up to help her so I ended up staying for a while and then I went to get her snack because they didn’t have snacks in her box.

Citizens Insisting Integrity in Scholarship: “Yesterday Once More” Part I: FOIL PRIMER

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Array-ne This post is for all the lovely ladies I am blessed to call my friends, both young and old, who have called me, Txt’d me, messaged me (at all hours) about their current relationships. So I go into my answer, what ever it happens to be.So I started to think about what I consider important steps in dating and in keeping a relationship flowing in the right direction.* Oh, I need to say this too.. Guys take heed and learn some valuable lessons, I can promise you, your girlfriends will appreciate it.BUT LADIES - Change the perception for these statements - And us Guys desire the same treatment, response, and respect from you and have it be directed at us in the relationship.* * Mike’s - Dating Guide/Advice - - A Male Perspective. You don’t have to be Donald Trump to show a girl a great time on a date. Best policy is to own up to making mistakes.8. Failure makes people wise if you don’t repeat them.12. Life is all about timing and hitting the exact moment to make things mesh with someone special. If you sense that your feelings aren’t being returned, you cannot push the issue to make them feel the same way you do. Variables come into play which sometimes make things difficult and this is where you work hard to make yourself as available as you possibly can to those you care about.16. Toughen up and make sure you take care of your own!17. Discussions into religion and politics might make her brand you something that your not. While you may think you great God’s gift to whatever and feel compelled to share what you think you’ve done to better mankind, perhaps maybe you should first learn something about your date?23. First impressions do matter, so make sure you schedule your date on a good day, okay? Be yourself and never change just to make yourself appealing to someone. Everyone can appreciate a beautiful woman, but eye-balling and gawking at one while your on a date will punch your ticket to a pizza and a movie from blockbuster at home alone so quick it will make your head spin! What makes you think you can sweep her off her feet in one night? A dinner date and a movie is okay, but if you really want to surprise her, do something so special to make her think that she is the only person you want to be with in the world at that very moment. Make the evening revolve around her. Don’t do something so outrageous that it would make her uncomfortable. Women, especially young ones who have never been married, view divorced guys as something taboo and damaged goods. If your frustrated in your relationship, take a time out to cool down and think about things for a couple hours and then sit down and talk things out. Throwing a hissy fit and putting holes in walls makes you look like a retard. Everyone gets pissed off from time to time, find constructive ways to counteract it!36. Showing up by surprise on someones doorstep is not a healthy way to make an entrance. Make a concentrated effort to build a good rapport with everyone she associates with in her life. Making her feel comfortable in introducing you to the social circle she runs with is crucial.39. Respect that and dont meddle, but there is no reason that you cant show interest and be a good friend to the little ones. Only you know and can make that decision.

Imagine Cup 2007 : Team re-Educate: Lundi - First round part 1

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Array Atraí todos os olhares e destruí a tensa aura de conhecimento em que estavam imersos, como se estilhaçasse o aquário precário em que se enfileiravam, aos pares, esbugalhados peixinhos redondos. E o descaso é intolerável, diziam-me os semblantes inquisidores por que passei primeiro, à procura de um lugar vago na sala de aula quase lotada. É rasgar o dinheiro que você, em tese, investiu para recuperar depois, com o primeiro salário depositado em conta pelo governo. O clima na Primeira Fileira dos cursinhos para concursos públicos é comparável apenas ao das reuniões de cúpula da Al Qaeda, dos míticos torneios de pôquer entre líderes de facção da máfia russa e do banheiro feminino do Desfrut Bar.

Pour cette première présentation, l’équipe a décidé de rester à huis clos avec le jury de facon à gérer au mieux le stress.Apres 20 min de présentation (pile poil) et malheureusement quelque bugs du logiciel, l’équipe s’est soumise au questions du jury, plutot avec succès.

La question est plutôt de savoir comment mesurer cette efficacité pour la contraster avec des inconvénients: Crée une structure rigide qui n’est pas forcément adaptée aux urgencesTendance à accumuler des acteurs inutiles Tendance à remplir l’espace temps, au détriment du reste Cela pose la question de l’efficacité de la réunion en tant que canal de communication, qui est une des mesure de la performance de la culture d’entreprise.2. est moins fort et le contrôle est plus lâche Moins de managers: moins de capacité à transporter de l’information dans l’organisation In fine, moins de temps personnel pour chaque manager La question ouverte est : est-il possible d’étudier cet impact d’un point de vue quantitatif ou est-ce avant tout un problème qualitatif qui revient à connaître la valeur du « Il montre précisément ce qui est la thèse de ce travail: les avantages et inconvénients de chaque modèle d’organisation, et les traits caractéristiques qui prédisposent à l’une ou l’autre.Dans la réalité, le sujet de l’organisation matricielle est complexe car il y a de nombreux axes: géographiques, segmentation par ligne de marché, par fonction ou compétence, par processus, etc. à partir d’un modèle quantitatif.Nous allons donc supposer que nous faisons cohabiter deux rôles de management (qui sont ou non exécutés par les mêmes individus, cela échappe à la précision de notre modèle) : (1) le rôle de pilotage hiérarchique (vertical) et d’optimisation des ressources (2) le rôle de pilotage (horizontal) des processus. L’impact positif ou négatif du sureffectif dépend de l’activité et des conditions de travail.Néanmoins, dans le cadre d’une évaluation FIOA des capacités de transfert d’information, il est facile de simuler des scénarios qui testent la réactivité (rapidité d’adaptation) et la flexibilité (capacité d’adaptation) d’une organisation.5. La polyvalence des acteurs (non-spécialisation) est un facteur de flexibilité La non-spécialisation est un facteur de motivation (diversité des activité et vsion plus globale) La polyvalence diminue le besoin de coordination de bout-en-bout (elle permet des organisations plus simples) Notre seule ambition ici est d’étudier l’impact réciproque de la spécialisation et de l’organisation de l’entreprise. Il ne peut donc pas y avoir de conclusion générique, mais il est peut-être possible de caractériser des liens génériques entre flexibilité et polyvalence.A suivre, le prochain message traitera de la philosophie de l’approche FIOA et de ses postulats.

Array If you have lost mail, bank statements, pay stubs, a wallet, credit card or check book–a thief or con may sell or hold them to use later.If you suspect you have been exposed to Credit Fraud or Identity Theft, you should notify all three Credit Reporting Bureaus (details below) to put an alert on your file–even if you only suspect a person who had access to your personal details. Such a person will find it hard to work in the finance industry if they have been reported….and unfortunately some of them do hide out in legitimate organizations to gain access to victims: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/idtheft.htmTo put a Fraud Alert on your Credit Report call all 3 Bureaus:Equifax Information Services: 800 685 1111Trans Union Customer Relations: 800 888 4213Experian: 888 397 3742If you have experienced Identity Theft, read my blog titled Reporting Fraud and follow each step.

The American media feeding frenzy over the murder trial of actor Robert Blake might finally be waning since the not-guilty verdict was handed in a couple of days ago, but in a shocking act of necrophilia (to quote his website): Juror number eleven, Roberto Emerick, decided to express his feelings the only way he knows how - through music, and here it is: Judgment day is a six song CD based on the murder trial of Robert Blake, the star of Barreta and the Little Rascals who was accused of killing his wife Bonnie Lee Bakely Taken in total, the six lo-fi mp3s create a rock-opera like effect (paging Andrew Lloyd Weber), with some songs told from Blake’s point of view, like Rosie, expressing Blake’s love for the daughter he and Blakey had.

Hello, I am a recruiter …Hello, I am a recruiter, I saw your resume on Monster.com,HotJobs.com. Actually, this software thingie just sends me a bunch of people. I normally pick the ones with the most amount words or the ones with the longer sentences, or simple ones that don’t have big words. I am 20 - 30 years old. I used to work at Chili’s but it burnt down, after my hair caught on fire in the stove. My friend told me about this job, because my other waiter friends all became recruiters. The funny thing is, this job is really easy. I could basically pick any prospect, because all the resumes look the same anyway. You feel sorry for the guys with 4 degrees. I don’t have a degree and I make 3 times what this guy will make. I don’t know anything about technology. I only visit the Gap site and MTV site. I don’t know what a java is or a Strut or a Microsoft. I don’t really care either. Another trick, people with names that aren’t white sounding are really smart, like the ones with a lot of consonants, like Wong Zhongyu. And if I really like you, just wait til I find your email or phone number. I will call you 5 or 6 times a day and won’t take no for answer. I have nothing to do, so bothering you is fun for me. Oh you dont know anything about Fortran or AS/400″, but you are a senior web developer. That is ok, you are senior, so Fortran will be fun for you. It is probably like programming in the Linux programming language. To be honest, I dont even know how our recruiting company exists. We operate out of an apartment complex, and strangely enough, there are 500 companies here doing the same thing. We just recently made enough money to buy our third phone line. IBM and the other big companies, Microstuff? Orange computers? used us because our owner is a fanatical salesman. He used to be in the military and just scares those computer dorks so that they give us more money. I dont really care if you get a job, but if we hire you, make sure you are happy and stay there for 90 days so that we get our cut. Thanks and please tell others we are looking for developers. Make sure they are between the ages of 23 and 28 and have 10 years of professional work experience. They must have been the Project Lead on all their projects and must have developed all the code. They can only come from MIT or Harvard and must have at lease 3 degrees in Engineering or Physics with no less than a 3.9/4.0 GPA. The position requires a lot of sitting around and chit-chat. We must have the best. One more thing, make sure to put down your Cell Phone Number, Work/Home, Your parents phone number. We must be able to call you anytime. We will need 10 references so that we can call them all. They are probably going to give you a good reference, and their feedback is useful, but we call anyway, so that you have know chance of returning to your old company. It is fun for us.link

One way in which adoption has not yet entered the 21st century is the anachronistic reality that most states still prohibit adoptees, even after they reach adulthood, from obtaining their birth certificates or other documents that would enable them to follow the surgeon general’s sage advice.Proponents of keeping these records sealed assert it’s a necessary measure to maintain the anonymity that was guaranteed to birth mothers at the time their children were placed for adoption. And there has been no hint, anywhere, that the recipients of those records are violating their birth mothers’ privacy or otherwise disrupting their lives.It is a wonderful coincidence that Dr. Carmona’s potentially life-saving effort coincides with the recent unsealing of birth records in New Hampshire, the latest state to take such action.

Reformed Chicks Blabbing: I’m taking my Greek test at 10:30 tonight

Array First is in new ways to manufacture solar cells using new materials, with the key drawback being the use of toxic materials. The company has discovered a peculiar and spontaneous nano-restructuring (he said it, I didn’t) behavior of CIGS under certain conditions which it exploits in its FASST process.Rechargeable Solar Cells with Nano AntennasSolaris, headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, is focused on the second area, the use of new materials and new methods. The company is developing dye sensitized solar cells with a cost target of .00 per watt, which it claims can be reduced to sh.60 per watt if manufactured overseas. For those of you familiar with Eikos, their first applications are targeting replacement of indium tin oxide (ITO) in the display industry, but they are now also exploring the development of conductive coatings for solar cells.

And while this certainly is a huge relief, and the reaction to the matter was highly validating of the genuine concern for civil liberties and free speech in this country and the cyber-society as a whole, it remains that many of the issues brought forth by this unfortunate debacle are true, including the lack of rights for persons of alternative sexualities in Arab and Islamic countries, and the censorship of governments around the world of cyber-content.Thank you for your understanding,Ashraf
