    Virtuoso, its not humor. Assad does have the support of about half the country.

    I would say Assad has 95->99% support of the populace in Syria now. ==> Pretty much a unified country.

    Even the most hardened of Libs (Like SuperLib) should have difficulty supporting these Rebels (paid assassins). I hope this does not turn into a walled-in Bosnia type of situation (walled-in civil war) and hopefully the people of Syria can fight off these criminals and Israeli air attacks.

    Kids will do the weirdest things, but even I am careful and attentive (that last step off) around escalators and you always see stories of people young and old losing their shoe or worse around these things. Maybe those ski-lifts are almost as worse.

    Most likely amateurs at this => cans not crushed etc. Those carts are iffy at best and a shopping cart (or plastic dump cart) would be more practical. Aluminum is low at .817 a pound - so they are looking at about 1/3-1/2 of that.

    Took apart an old Yamaha DT-1 once and scored over $100 at the recycling center. They guy running it was a newbie and some of the aluminum had steel with it (you get usually 1/3 less for that). Aluminum at that time was very high and i was paid ~$1.25 a pound. Had some other aluminum scraps and engine part throw aways also, but it was a real score for a bunch of kids => more like $200 now.

    With Abenomics and the prices going up I am sure other people will look to recycling for that little extra money.

    22 million times 6 bytes = only 132 million bytess.

    More than that by at least 2-3, plus all the coding/formatting around the characters.

    each 0-F is 4 bits "a nibble", 2 nibbles to a byte "8 bits" 0000 = 0 1111 = F 1110 = E 0001 = 1

    16 characters in Hexadecimal 0-F

    I would get those 3 an apartment that all 3 would live together in. It would be up to them to make it be successful. I would strategically have the apartment a few miles from their house to make it just enough of an inconvenience for the 3 to walk there and not be close to a bus route (no cheating).

    The Internal Revenue Service acknowledged last week that in 2010 employees subjected conservative groups, including those with “Tea Party” and “Patriots” in their names, to increased scrutiny when they applied for non-profit status.

    lots of misinformation here:

    Bitcoins were launched in 2009 in the wake of the global financial crisis by an anonymous programmer

    satoshi nakamoto (some say it is Max Keiser)

    The warrant said the account based on the electronic payments platform Dwolla and held at Veridian Credit Union “was used to move money” as “part of an unlicensed money service” in violation of U.S. law.

    BitCoin has nothing to do with "money" aka private Federal Reserve Debt Notes. The transaction is a BitCoin to Bitcoin transaction.

    But their physical conditions declined, and they increasingly found it difficult to get along with co-workers.

    You really need to eat healthy and take care of yourselves. Without your health life is difficult. Historically the mother is the nutritionist in the family. The whole family should go to an organic doctor and see what is wrong and start planning some family meals. Whatever it is I am sure it can be worked out.

    Obama and many others should step down. I have no idea why people are supporting these wars and overthrows (Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan/Pakistan drone killings etc). In the meantime the financial chaos goes on and there is no responsibility.

    You should stay away from this stuff. Does not look healthy at all. There are plenty of natural herbs and mushrooms in Japan that are far better and safer than this "synthetic" who knows what it could be? stuff.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqFtEtpy9G8 American CrossRoads (Carl Rove) hit piece.

    The two ex-Navy Seal optionally went to help rescue the Ambassador and held off gallantly until they themselves were killed. With at least one call pleading for reinforcements and their lives!

    For 5 hours+ they waited and American help was one hour away with British help in Libya closer.

    Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R) directly blamed President Obama for ordering the stand down which facilitated the assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

    Wagner was asked by talk show host Dana Loesch, “Because you have been an ambassador, you have been overseas with similar responsibilities and similar missions - who gives such an order to stand down? Where does that come from?”

    “The President of the United States,” responded Wagner.

    The White House has been scrambling to avoid the question of who gave the stand down order ever since whistleblower Greg Hicks, who was number two to Ambassador Chris Stevens, testified that U.S. special forces were ready to board a plane in Tripoli but were prevented from coming to the aid of those under assault inside the consulate.

    Hicks revealed that after Stevens had been killed but while the attack was still ongoing, “The Libyan military agreed to fly their C-130 to Benghazi and carry additional personnel to Benghazi as reinforcements,” including U.S. Special Forces, but that a call came through from Special Operations Command Africa saying, “you can’t go now; you don’t have authority to go now.”

    When you have a corrupt Gov the rich will pay little to no taxes and the poor will pay every tax. It is the Americans own fault that they let the openly fraudulent IRS operate (to pay for WWI and should have ended after that) in the first place. -A good reason to just have a flat tax on income ==> you would be looking at 8-12% for everyone. Some think that will not work but many states do not have state income tax or a state sales tax and seem to work just fine.

    Before the IRS and Federal Taxes the US Fed Gov got their money from tariffs (tax on imports). If Japan accepts globalism and allows little to no tariffs then I would assume the same type of tax corruption will also occur in Japan with a Gov even more corrupt and out of control.

    Appending this remark, I believe there should be a process/protocol whereby ordinary citizens can file an affidavit expressing "no confidence" of members of a community towards individuals whom they have reasonable doubts about with regards to keeping guns on their property. The process would be very much like seeing a restraining order against someone. There would then be some requirement on the individual to demonstrate -- with supporting witnesses -- why they should not be considered a risk.

    The US Government has already been targeting ex-military and ex-law enforcement and has been very effective in stealing these Americans 2nd amendment rights.

    50-year-old David A Schmecker is an honorably discharged disabled US Navy veteran from Connecticut with no criminal record and no psychiatric history. On February 5, Schmecker’s hospital primary care doctor called and heard a message on Schmecker’s answer machine that “sounded peculiar,” prompting him to contact the local police and urge them to visit Schmecker to perform a “wellness check”. “The police came to my home, and, without any justification whatsoever, hauled me away for a psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. I submitted to their forceful insistence under duress and fear of arrest or worse. I wasn’t arrested, no crime was committed nor any threats were made to myself or others,” Schmecker told Survive and Thrive’s George Hemminger (G4T). “They confiscated my guns and pistol permit. I was released two days later from the evaluation on my on recognizance. I have since attempted to use the courts and attorneys to fight the revocation of my pistol permit. Then on top of everything else, the bills from the short stay at the hospital and EMS bills that they billed me, along with what I had to pay the attorney adds up to a large amount of money,” he adds. Schmecker warns that the harassment he suffered is part of “a campaign orchestrated to disarm law abiding citizens,” adding that he is “concerned about where this country is headed.” As with all contemporary authoritarian governments, the psychiatric system is being used to circumvent courts and bypass normal legal due process.

    With online feedback low quality products will be short lived. I will not even buy most products until I check the feedback ratings. ==> not worth my time or energy buying something that will not work poorly or has issues.

    You see alot of poorly made products that just end up in the trash. --> Almost a total waste for everyone involved and many cannot even be fixed.

    “Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information,”

    An information grab and making claims they have no ability to enforce. ==> sets a very dangerous precedent.

    Banksy is a well known British graffiti artist who uses stencils and spray paint for a "quick hit". General small in size, usually a single colour like black. His works sell for more than £100,000. Very copied artist, especially fake poster prints. Many end up on Ebay. Most are happy to have a Banksy on their property and some have been stolen and put up for sale on Ebay.

    Way over-rated and has weak fading and font skillz. If you want tru graffiti you have the East Coast (NYC) and West Coast (L.A. styles). Personally i never cared for the Phili East Coast style (thin full length fonts all the way to the ground).

    Graffiti is its' own art with its' own style. Graffiti got big in Greece/Spain with the austerity -a prime means of communication for people being enforced a tyranny.
