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.

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

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).

lots of misinformation here:
satoshi nakamoto (some say it is Max Keiser)
BitCoin has nothing to do with "money" aka private Federal Reserve Debt Notes. The transaction is a BitCoin to Bitcoin transaction.

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

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.

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

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.
