On the third Sunday of each month, a dozen or so people pedal out of Highland Park atop steel-frame bikes straight out of the Chinese Cultural Revolution or on more luxurious Dutch cruisers -- all in search of dumplings.
The bicycle ride, dubbed Get Sum Dim Sum, is used by brothers Adam and Josef Bray-Ali to get people to try the Chinese bikes their shop is named after, Flying Pigeon.
The monthly ride also is part of a larger plan to sell not just bikes but a vision of a different Los Angeles.
The shop, on a small commercial strip on North Figueroa Street, is unassuming from the outside, with no more than a white sticker of a pigeon riding a bike on the window and a line of bikes on the sidewalk to identify the business.
Inside, the emphasis is on commuter bikes, both the sturdy Chinese rides and Flying Pigeon LA's other specialty, high-end Dutch cruisers. All come with fenders, racks for cargo, fully covered chains and wide, comfortable seats.
Flying Pigeons run $300 to $700, depending on the model and appointments. The Dutch bikes, by brands Batvus and Gazelle, sell for about $700 to $1,400 each. The shop also sells a basic road bike: the $349 Torker U-District, which features a flip-flop rear-wheel hub, so owners can choose between fixed-gear and single-speed riding.
The brothers also rent bikes for the ride for $10.
In addition to the dim sum outing, the Bray-Ali brothers host an art gallery ride the second Saturday of each month. Unlike the dim sum trips, which attract families and middle-aged participants, the Spoke(n)Art Ride brings out a younger crowd more akin to the hipster, fixed-gear riders in their 20s and 30s that make up most of the packs venturing around Los Angeles.
Although the organized rides have attracted a lot of attention, not too many Pigeons fly out the door after the treks, Adam Bray-Ali said.
"As a marketing tool, it's great," the 35-year-old entrepreneur said. "But it hasn't yet translated into direct sales."
Still, the rides haven't been a waste of time. They have helped build a rider community in northeast Los Angeles and have led to word of mouth that has spread virally on the Internet, attracting buyers to the shop, Josef Bray-Ali said.
"People drive in from Venice, Malibu, Santa Monica to buy the Chinese and Dutch bikes because we're the only guys in the city who sell them," he said. "Usually they've been to Europe or Asia, and they look at bikes a little different than Americans."
Over the last year, Flying Pigeon has brought in $150,000 in gross revenue, said the brothers, who are the shop's only employees.
Flying Pigeon's main competitor, Bike Oven, is a nonprofit co-op just two doors down that teaches people how to work on their own bikes and offers free parts to those who volunteer there. Some Bike Oven volunteers even build their own bikes free of charge.
And the Bray-Ali brothers wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, it was Josef who started the Oven in 2005 out of Adam's Highland Park garage.
The Oven drives much of Flying Pigeon's day-to-day business, Josef Bray-Ali said.
"From a traditional business perspective, it doesn't always make sense to be next door to someone who does what you do for free," he said. But having a bike shop near a bike co-op is an idea that is catching on, he said.
"The business model works, and it's proven and it's working here and it's growing something," Josef Bray-Ali said. "That's why I started the Oven, to build that community."
Because of Bike Oven, people know Josef Bray-Ali and want to support Flying Pigeon, said Brian Bonilla, 18, who lives a couple of blocks away from the two shops.
"He's known in the biking community, and he'll help out anybody," Bonilla said. At times, Josef Bray-Ali will sell parts at wholesale cost, just to help a neighborhood kid fix up a bike, said Bonilla, who estimates that he's spent hundreds of dollars this year on bike parts from the Pigeon. He has used the parts to build five bikes at the Oven, where he volunteers.
"People come from all over the Eastside to help out here," he said. "I've made a lot of friends here, and it's kept me out of trouble."
Josef Bray-Ali serves up East Hollywood's corner of Melrose Avenue and North Heliotrope Drive as an example of what is possible in Highland Park. There's a successful bike shop called Orange 20, a bustling co-op called Bicycle Kitchen, restaurants and a popular ice cream shop called Scoops.
"If we can make this block a cool place to hang out, if you can come here and see your friends and get a drink or something to eat, if there are things going on this block like our bike rides, then our business will do fine," Josef Bray-Ali said. "They've built that over there, and it all started with the Bike Kitchen."
Bicycle Kitchen inspired Josef Bray-Ali to start Bike Oven, which moved in 2007 to North Figueroa Street, just south of Pasadena Avenue. The brothers opened Flying Pigeon in August 2008 at another Highland Park location and moved the shop in April to the same commercial strip as Bike Oven.
Orange 20, a more general bike shop, has been on Melrose and Heliotrope for three years, owner Jim Cadenhead said. Like Flying Pigeon, it too started out with a modest customer base but has since blossomed into a store with annual revenue of $1 million, Cadenhead said.
"We want more people on bikes, we want more bike lanes, and we want a more bike-friendly city," Cadenhead said. "That's all more important than profit."
In Mar Vista, the Bikerowave co-op recently moved to a new location across the street from L.A. Brakeless, a popular fixed-gear bike shop.
"All over town, bike shops and co-ops are feeding off each other's business," Josef Bray-Ali said. "It's exciting."

Viscosity is used in the food and chemical industries for either direct control of processes and process optimisation or as a quality control parameter. Other industrial areas where viscosity is an important process parameter are biotech, oil, plastics, paint, and printing.
Vibrating viscometers are better suited for measurements in non-Newtonian fluids, such as pseudoplastic liquids. Hydramotion process viscometers measure the viscosity in such liquids with the same repeatability as in Newtonian liquids, which makes them ideal for proces monitoring and control in this common type of fluid.
The sensors are solid state with an all welded design and very robust. They can be supplied in various materials (the standard material is 316 stainless steel). The shear wave only penetrates a few millimetres into the fluid from the surface of the sensor, so the sensor can be mounted close to the wall of a pipe or tank.
The processor can accept a temperature signal input that enables the correction of the viscosity to a reference temperature. The processor is connected to the transducer by a standard 3-core screened cable and it can be located up to 1000 meters from the sensor.
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of fluids to the flow. A vibrational or resonance viscometer is used for continuous direct measurement of viscosity in pipes and/or tanks. The instrument works by creating a special kind of wave in the fluid.
Choice of wave type is important, as the viscosity can be determined only by measuring under shear conditions. The solid stainless steel sensor is immersed in the fluid and made to twist back and forth microscopically at a high frequency. As the surface of the sensor shears through the liquid, energy is lost as a result of overcoming internal friction in the fluid.
The viscosity of the fluid is derived from the measurement of this lost energy by the instrument electronics. Higher viscosity causes a greater loss of energy and therefore a higher reading and vice versa.
Integrated temperature sensor for viscosity correction to standard conditions.
Rail mounted processor for Hydramotion viscosity sensors.
Wall or panel mounting processor. Connect to all Hydramotion viscosity sensors.
Analog input 3 x 4-20 mA for Pt100 RTD Temperature, density and pressure.

Born into a family of animal entertainers, McMillan has been training wild animals since he was born. Thanks to his father and uncle who gave him the knowledge and work ethic , McMillan developed an attachment to animals at an early age. He jokes that he’s been “picking up tiger poop” as far back as he can remember, but his early years around the animal performers certainly gave him valuable skills that he uses in his current career as a Los Angeles-based animal trainer.
Since becoming an animal trainer, Brandon has trained lions, bears, tigers, reptiles and even insects for such films as The Hangover, We Bought a Zoo, The Jungle Book II, I Am Sam, Buddy, Soul Plane, Red Dragon and television’s 24, Jackass, Wildboyz and Carnivale, plus hundreds of commercials and ads.
Being an avid surfer and diver, Brandon developed a fascination and respect for the ocean and marine life. After seeing Brandon dive with sharks on the Animal Planet show, “Night”, shark expert and shark film producer Jeff Kurr, contacted Brandon to see if he wanted to be part of a Shark Week show called Great White Serial Killer. In this chilling true story Brandon set sout to examine two fatal shark attacks on California’s Surf Beach, near Vandenberg Air Force base, using evidence found at both sites to try to determine if one shark was responsible for both attacks. Interesting, both happened exactly two years apart in the same place. The investigation takes him to New Zealand, home to some of the largest and most aggressive sharks on the planet. While there, Brandon has an encounter with an 18 ft, 2-ton great white shark.

TOKYO — In a middle-of-the night vote that capped a tumultuous struggle with opposition parties in Parliament, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan secured final passage of legislation on Saturday authorizing overseas combat missions for his country’s military, overturning a decades-old policy of reserving the use of force for self-defense.
The legislation had been expected to pass; Mr. Abe’s governing coalition controls a formidable majority in the legislature. But analysts said the grinding political battle and days of demonstrations that accompanied the effort could hurt his standing with a public already skeptical of his hawkish vision for Japan’s national security.
The debate often doubled as a forum for airing views about Japan’s most important ally, the United States. Many were hostile.
“If this legislation passes, we will absolutely be caught up in illegal American wars,” Taro Yamamoto, a leader of a small left-leaning opposition party, said in a committee debate on Thursday. The debate ended with lawmakers piled on top of one another in a melee for control of the chairman’s microphone.
On Friday, Mr. Yamamoto held up the voting by taking a slow-motion “cow walk” to the podium to cast his ballot. Other opposition groups entered symbolic censure motions against Mr. Abe and officials in his Liberal Democratic Party or made long, filibuster-like speeches, often repeating the conviction that a military with expanded powers would end up being dragged into an unjustified American war.
“We must not become accomplices to murder,” said Mizuho Fukushima of the Social Democratic Party. Similar sentiments have been echoed — usually in less provocative terms — by newspaper columnists, political scientists and members of the general public.
The opposition’s obstructionist tactics delayed Mr. Abe’s victory until after 2 a.m., but could not prevent it.
Mr. Abe’s critics have a variety of grievances against the defense legislation. Not least is the question of its constitutionality: In multiple surveys of constitutional specialists, more than 90 percent have said they believe that it violates Japan’s basic law, laid down by the United States in the postwar occupation, which renounces the use of force to resolve international disputes.
But a less abstract fear of being “caught up in war” has been just as important in fueling opposition to the legislation, exposing a strain of public unease about the United States-Japan alliance that is usually kept out of view.
Japan has accepted American protection for ever since the end of the United States’ occupation, and today there are more than 40,000 United States military personnel stationed in the country. Yet the arrangement has come at the cost of Japanese independence, many here believe. The trade-off has taken on new significance now that Japan could be asked to risk the lives of its own soldiers and sailors for the United States in return.
Mr. Abe argues that Japan needs to play a more active role in the alliance in order to strengthen it against threats like the growing military power of China and a nuclear-armed North Korea. His legislation has won support from United States policy makers, who have welcomed a larger role for Tokyo in regional security at a time when American resources are increasingly stretched.
But a central question for many Japanese is whether loosening restrictions on the military will put Japan on a more equal footing with the United States, as Mr. Abe has argued, or, as critics contend, turn it into an American “deputy sheriff” in Asia, its new military powers at Washington’s disposal.
Such attitudes are partly fueled by the war in Iraq, though they have existed in one form or another at least since Vietnam. Although Japan did not fight in Iraq, its government was a vocal supporter of the war and sent troops from the Self-Defense Forces, as the military is known, to play a noncombat rebuilding role during the American occupation.
“Japan has not been careful about choosing when to support the United States, which is the biggest worry,” said Kiichi Fujiwara, a professor of international politics at Tokyo University who was otherwise broadly supportive of the legislation.
He said the main aim of the changes was to allow Japanese and United States forces to coordinate responses to contingencies on Japan’s doorstep, such as any destabilization of the Korean Peninsula, not to get Japan involved in faraway wars. And he noted that the risk of military entanglement runs both ways: American leaders, for instance, worry about being drawn into a potential conflict between Japan and China over disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Mr. Abe’s government has kept a number of limits on military deployments in the new legislation. The Self-Defense Forces will be able to engage in combat overseas to protect allies, but only when all peaceful options are exhausted and not intervening would threaten “the lives and survival of the Japanese nation.” Critics say those criteria are dangerously vague.
Mr. Abe has said it is “inconceivable” that Japan might be caught up in an Iraq-style war, but many average citizens remain wary, seeing the changes as a slippery slope. In several surveys conducted by news organizations in May, after Mr. Abe first made that pledge, only one in six respondents found it convincing.
Outside the Parliament building on Friday, that doubt was the prevailing sentiment. Crowds over the three days leading up to the final vote reached between 10,000 to 30,000 at peak times, according to estimates by the police and the Japanese news media.
Hisako Ueno and Maki Nakamatsu contributed reporting.

HOUSTON – One of the more amusing events in the lead up to the Super Bowl is the news conference with the halftime performer.
This year we got a two-fer. Country star Luke Bryan spoke first about singing the national anthem then Lady Gaga came to talk about her halftime show.
The stars stand or sit on a stool on a stage at the front of a convention type room in front of hundreds of reporters. There’s no investigative style journalism happening here so it’s amusing to hear the questions entertainment and television journalists concoct.
While performers of the past – notably Prince and Michael Jackson – haven’t been accommodating to questions, Gaga and Bryan were both warm, relaxed, engaged. Gaga even tossed a football to her family seated in the front row – something neither Bryan nor Cold Play’s Chris Martin did last year.
Both performers got questions about nerves in front of such a massive worldwide broadcast audience Sunday. Both had a similar answer that could help us mortals in our own lives: They focus on the energy of the moment.
Bryan said he will “follow my heart and the vibe of the room” in determining how he will sing. He’s aware that bets are being placed on how long he will take to sing the anthem. ”I had a buddy call me and say, ‘Are you going to go long?’ and I’m like what?” Bryan said, adding that he doesn’t know yet how he’ll sing it.
Gaga said she wants to create a memorable “moment” for those watching the game at home, and she wants to match the energy of the game. “This performance is for everyone,” she said.
She also revealed Tony Bennett’s advice. “Tony always encourages me to just tell the story of the songs,” Gaga said.
Another reporter asked her if she’d be making a statement with her performance. Gaga said she’ll have the same message she always has: unity, equality, compassion and kindness.
From the front row came a question about high-flying tricks during the show. The questioner: Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles, who wore a skin-tight sleeveless black Nike top showcasing her extraordinarily powerful shoulders. Biles is working with Inside Edition.
Another reporter asked Gaga who is her rock at the end of the day. Gaga nodded to her lookalike mom in the front row and mentioned her family. But she also said that when she’s down and not feeling great about how things are going, she thinks about her fans: “The kid that couldn’t get a seat at the cool kids’ table. That kid who got kicked out his house because his parents couldn’t accept who he is,” she said.
She will be singing and dancing the entire 13 minutes.

Sadly, this bunch doesn’t appear that creative. Worse, they exhibit poor grammar skills.
"Atheism is living one’s life without the supernatural," and "We are responsible for humane interaction with other animals and for the preservation of our habitable planet."
Under the title "We Are Not" (which should be "What We Believe"), the brochure says, "An atheist is anyone who has no belief in any god, whether the god is called Jehovah, Satan, Vishnu, Allah, Loki, Zeus, or any other name. Therefore, atheists hold many varieties of social and political philosophies."
1. The appearance of "ghosts" or other spirits of the dead.
2. Reincarnation of human "souls."
3. The denial of established historical events, such as the Nazi mass murder of Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and atheists during World War II.
Guess number No. 3 must be a tough one to swallow since former non-believer Adolph Hitler actually created the problem with his "humane interaction" with the Jews.
By the way, AAI bills itself as religion-free. As opposed to sugar-free or fat-free, I guess. But the more you read about this group, it seems like what they’re most free of is a sense of humor. There’s not a light moment on the agenda.
You wonder why. Here’s an "enlightened" guess: Maybe atheists refuse to embrace laughter because they’re afraid that one day they’ll discover the joke’s on them.
This kind of disgusting slur, masquerading as an opinion piece, wouldn’t pass muster in an undergraduate journalism class.
It’s easy and cheap to slam any minority. What if it was a conference of pharmacists? "Look at the funny people in white coats. They must have really boring lives." What a slacker attitude for a writer!
In a country (and especially the southern part of that country) where the Christian religion has been so privileged, it’s likely the writer of this column has never hung out in a group of atheists. So he’s simply making fun of people he doesn’t understand. A sad attempt to make himself feel better at other people’s expense.
Creating "in-groups" and "out-groups" is a classic divide and conquer tactic. But it won’t work with atheists. Because we understand that everyone, even the religious, are primarily human beings. We’re just saying let’s focus on that shared reality, instead of on the differences in "beliefs" and attitudes stemming from the myriad imaginary worlds the various sects of believers have constructed.
And Alex, we know how to party just fine, thanks.
Great comment! Thanks for the link too. It is depressing how common this sort of bigotry is, but I do have hope that we can begin to oppose it more effectively by making sure everyone sees it for what it is.
Thanks for pointing this out. Judging from the comment thread over there, it made a huge difference!
I really hope that we in the atheist movement can get better at reporting this sort of thing and then mobilizing our fellow atheists to take action. I realize this is going to be a challenge, but I really do think it can make a difference.

If you love automobiles, vans, boats, motorcycles, ATVs, bikes, carriages, or different vehicles, there are various small business alternatives you can start to make money doing one thing you love. In reality, VEBA didn’t cost GM anything and did not cost the taxpayers anything. The Union bet the VEBA on GM’s IPO and future inventory. Time will inform if that was a sensible transfer or not. RMR is one in which the rear wheels are driven by an engine positioned just in front of them, behind the passenger compartment. The term automotive was created from Greek autos (self), and Latin motivus (of motion) to characterize any type of self-powered vehicle. This time period was proposed by SAE member Elmer Sperry.
That being said, the place you do business is your decision and you don’t have to feel such as you misplaced since you decided to pay just a little further for glorious service. Do you tip your waiter? Do you want to remain in a nice hotel? You buy a automotive every 3 or 4 years, sometimes extra. Get a superb deal and a fair value, but in addition, treat your self. You’re employed laborious to your money. Blow some of it and decide a dealership that is prepared to over ship and over service to earn what you are promoting.
Nearly every store uses a large standardized database, reminiscent of ‘AllData’, that provides labor times. The explanation that outlets need a standardized listing is as a result of all vehicles aren’t created equal. Eradicating a radiator on one car could be a snap, on another automotive it’d take hours. The database provides a labor time that they really feel should be a fair compromise for the customer and the mechanic. A talented mechanic should usually be capable of get the repair completed within the amount of alloted time with out overcharging the client for labor. Some repairs are not covered by the labor database. In that case, it’s up to the store to provide a fair estimate.
This article, although succinct, provides the reader fairly a window into the ethics of the auto business. It discusses particular incidents of unethical habits in the auto business, after which goes on to form these into basic ethic problems the industry at large deals with.

Had Lunch Out with S. and ate too much. Have been spending the rest of the day digesting, puttering around, and waiting for the Internet to do something interesting.
Have to make an appointment with a dermatologist, or conceivably an allergist: my hands and fingers (and occasionally toes) keep developing small clusters of tiny, itchy, slightly inflamed blisters for no known cause. My GP's only idea (other than asking the usual questions about changes in detergent, etc.) was to test me for rheumatoid arthritis. Which I don't have, thank goodness.
Usually any given cluster will itch for a while, then stop, then start up again, so I really couldn't tell you whether cortisone creams work. They don't work immediately, I can say that. If it is an allergy, would Benadryl, or, better yet, Claratin, help, do you think?
My other idea is that it may be an id reaction, which (to generalize and probably mistranslate) is an itchy dermatological reaction on the body to a condition somewhere else in or on the body. It would be unusual for it to affect just the hands and feet, but I suppose not impossible.

Palace’s direct approach was contained for the most part, though Saints keeper Fraser Forster did have to make point-blank saves to deny Christian Benteke and Jason Puncheon either side of half-time. His resistance meant the hosts set a new top-flight record as they surpassed the 438 minutes Newcastle United went without a goal at the start of the 2005-06 season.
Palace did not offer enough and allowed the away side to keep possession too easily as they failed to secure a first win since 19 August. Saints introduced Virgil van Dijk from the bench late on, the defender making his first appearance since declaring he wanted to leave in the summer. His impact was minimal as his side easily saw out the closing stages, with Palace resorting to hopeful crosses and long balls, as they had for much of the afternoon.

America has always been a country that celebrated youth. But according to one study, it was around 1880 that attitudes toward older people started to become significantly more negative. It was due partly to the increasing “medicalization” of old age, as well as the growing portion of the population over 65. And according to Robert Pogue Harrison, author of Juvenescence: A Cultural History of Our Age, our youth worship has only increased since the end of World War II.
Recently I picked up a copy of There Are No Grown-ups: A Midlife Coming-of-Age Story by Paris-based journalist Pamela Druckerman. Ostensibly, it’s a book about what it’s like to be in your 40s. The book has some funny and insightful essays about that — but mixed in is a steady stream of jokes about declining looks, declining memory, and declining relevance, which contributed to my declining enjoyment.
This is not because I’m afraid of getting old. I am not. But in the past, our love of youth was tempered by a respect for age. Now we think of aging as simply an inexorable decline that ends in death. And our fear of death has become pathological.
Emblematic of this is biomedical gerontologist and mathematician Aubrey de Grey, who assures us that soon people will live to be 1,000, if not forever. De Grey first put forward his ideas for eliminating aging in his 1999 book, The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging, published when he was 36. He went on to found the SENS Research Foundation, with the goal of curing aging. De Grey is now 55, and we are no closer to that goal.
More acute than our fear of death, however, is our fear of decline — which can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. In a landmark 1979 “counterclockwise” study, Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer took a group of eight elderly men, measured their biomarkers of aging, then took them on a retreat to a location she had decorated to look and feel like 1959.
After living for a week in a world that looked and felt 20 years younger, Langer measured the participants’ biomarkers again. The men were found to have improved hearing, better memory, more grip strength, and increased joint flexibility and dexterity. They were taller and their fingers were longer. More than half of them were smarter. In photos taken after the study, the participants were judged, by impartial observers, to be younger than in photos taken beforehand.
Much of what we fear about aging — such as losing our hearing, eyesight, mobility, or memories — may actually be caused in part by our belief that we will lose those things. One study led by Yale School of Public Health psychologist Becca Levy found that people who hold a negative view of aging die an average of 7.5 years before those with a positive view of it. Another study found that women who believed they were at risk from heart disease were 3.6 times more likely to die of heart attacks than women with the same risk factors who believed they weren’t.
She wondered: Was there some relationship between these things? Or did the fact that people lived longer cause them to be more respected? Or was it simply random?
Negative stereotypes start at a very early age — as young as three years old — but don’t become harmful until they are “self-relevant.” At that point, they can cause us to lose mobility, balance, strength, eyesight, hearing, and memory, and can increase our odds of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and cardiovascular events. They may even accelerate our cellular decay.
The good news is that positive aging stereotypes can have the opposite effect. In a study that echoed Langer’s “counterclockwise” findings, Levy found that by subliminally giving older people positive aging stereotypes, after just four weeks, subjects showed improved strength, gait, and balance. Positive beliefs about aging can have a wide range of health benefits in addition to increased mobility: better hearing, memory, and cognitive function. Levy and her colleagues found that veterans who held positive aging stereotypes had significantly lower rates of suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and PTSD. She also found that among carriers of the APOE ε4 gene — one of the strongest predictors of dementia — people with positive age stereotypes were 50 percent less likely to develop the condition.
Another step is to realize that the human body is not a car and that “curing” aging is not a matter of replacing parts. A car’s decline is a straight line down from the assembly line. A human body grows, evolves, matures, and changes over time, as does the person within it.
But even more important, I think, is that we need to question our assumption that youth is the best time in life and that everything after it is worse. We all know there are good and bad things about every stage in life. Getting older can mean getting better at what you do, being less foolish and self-absorbed than your younger self, and enjoying a richer perspective, more experience, and a store of good memories.
Constantly looking to the past is not only bad for your health, but it makes it harder to find the joy in the present. We can choose to see ourselves as rotting or as ripening with age. Ultimately, we know that life begins and life ends. It’s the finite amount in between that makes it sweet.

Harper Lee brilliantly sums up her novel in one sentence: ‘Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird’.
A novel set in the slavery era, you find yourself constantly face-to-face with one question; ‘Is a white man’s word more precious that a black man’s life’. Lee aptly chose to write as she saw through the eyes of a little girl, thereby using her curiosity to examine racism and building on her surprise at the fact that skin color is a measure of life. The characters are brilliantly woven in an impeccable mixture of a pensive plot written with humorous quirks and pips makes it a real reader’s delight.

For coins. They call him Chuy, a Mexican nickname for Jesus.
If he could walk backwards from here to the sea, he would.
A second mouth that speaks an ocean tongue of shrieks & clicks.
I can see by the trainer’s caution, our innocence is dangerous.
To push us out to sea, to safety.
Looking close, I see in his wet grey eyes a child’s knowing buoyancy.
His forehead, laying small bloodless fish on a big blue tongue.
First circling, gaining inhuman momentum. He fears for his job.
He works. His back bent as to a desk holding his breath.
To be, nosing a blue-green ball, his fins not quite fingers or feet.

I have decided to study Business in EGI because I studied financial Engineering in Colombia and as an Engineer, I needed to know something about administration. Also, EGI has a campus in Sydney so I like the idea of being able to transfer there if I wanted.
Why did you decide to study Business at EGI?
How would you describe the teaching staff at EGI?
We had a not so great teacher in the past but then it changed and now our teacher Leema is really good. She is prepared and clear with the information.
I finished Certificate IV in Business and now I’m studying Diploma.
The classrooms are good, the staff is really nice.
Describe what you like about Melbourne?
I really like Melbourne because here we have many important events, sports, etc. at affordable prices.
Go to the gym, hiking, watch movies, watch sports, read and clubbing.
Open your mind and enjoy the experience.

I haven't read the book yet, obviously, but I know that this is going to be a good one. All of Ally Carter's YA books ave been a success and I'm sure this will be too. The only thing I will be disappointed with if she doesn't have is some kissing with Hale and Kat, I mean, it's soooooo obvious that they like each other*EDIT* The cover is gorgeous!!!*EDIT* Reading the synopsis just makes me more excited, and I'm about to die of anticipation!!!
2.5 starsI'm reading the reviews for this book and all I can say is that I definitely agree with many of you who said that this book is truly a YA book intended for young adults. I wish I read it when I was 14 or 15 because I would've adored it. It's light, fun and overall cute. Of course, sometimes we get a bit of drama-llama situations and questionable choices made by our interesting characters but overall, this entire trilogy is entertaining. Hale is cute, though, I love him.
Listen to my Heist Society fanmix in 8tracks and see the tracklist here.Not as good as the first one, but that was still an enjoyable read.
Love this series so much! The crew is great! Need to read part 3 ASAP!!!
More 4.5, but that was sly and HALE.
Pre-reading: Hm, I think I like the Heist cover better, this one seems a little less intense. But it's still nice, love that the model kept her smirk :)After reading: I really loved this book. I liked the first Heist a lot, but I feel like Ally Carter has improved her writing so much since the last Heist. All the characters in Uncommon Criminals are really wonderful and extremely well fleshed out. I also think Ally Carter's third person prose has gotten a lot better.
I just love this series! I have been wanting to get back to this series and I finally have. I am not really into the love with the Hale/Kat love angst thing going on but I did enjoy the heist and the cons. It made it for a fast and enjoyable read. I did not see the ending coming and it was hilarious and genius. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

Arraba, known as Arrabat al-Battuf, is the fourth largest local council and largest Arab local council in Israel. It is located in the Lower Galilee in the Northern District, within the Beit Netofa Valley to the north of Nazareth and adjacent to Sakhnin, Arraba attained local council status in 1965. In 2015 its population was 24,072, the symbol of the local council is an onion, a watermelon and a cantaloupe which symbolize the crops for which Arraba is famous. Throughout history Arraba was mostly an agricultural village depending mainly on the al-Batuf Plain to grow crops, currently the dependence on agriculture is declining rapidly due to the rise in population, urbanization and a subsequently more modern lifestyle. Arraba is associated with the Jewish village called Arab, known in Greek as Garaba, mentioned in the Mishnah, in the works of Josephus, it is often mentioned by its Greek corruption, Gabara. The famous Jewish Rabbi and scholar, Yohanan ben Zakkai, is said to have lived there eighteen years, during the Jewish war with Rome, Vespasian sacked the city, killing those of its Jewish citizens who had not already fled.
In the 5th or 6th century CE there were Christians living here, as witnessed by a church whose mosaic floor, in the Crusader era, it was known as Arabiam. In 1174 it was one of the given to Phillipe le Rous. In 1236 descendants of Phillipe le Rous confirmed the sale of the fief of Arraba, in 1250 it was one of the casales belonging to the Teutonic knights, a Crusader order. In the 13th century Arrabah is mentioned by Syria geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi in his famous work Mujam al-Buldān, as a place in the province of Acca. The village was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with all of Palestine and it had a population of 125 Muslim households and 2 Muslim bachelors, and paid taxes on wheat, summercrops or fruit trees and goats or beehives. At some point in the century the Zayadina, an Arab Muslim tribe. Its sheikh acquired control of the town and its district after wresting control of the area from the Druze sheikh of Sallama, Arraba became home to Zahir al-Umar, a sheikh of the Zayadina tribe.

Today I came across a brief post on the OTN Forum for JDeveloper and ADF (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=923587&tstart=0). The latest demo application (11.1.1.1.0) for ADF 11g Faces RC can be downloaded from http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/111/extensions/adf-richclient-demo.war. It comes as a WAR file that can be deployed on WebLogic 11g.
Then inspect the source code to see how the functionality found in the demo was implemented.
Thanks for your interesting observation. I would not say the Java community is lagging so far behind. There have been (niche) Java products doing the kind of things you see in Flex/Flash and Silverlight for much longer than at least Silverlight has been around. The Java Platform as a whole does not move extremely rapidly – as it is so broad (from JDBC and EJB to JSF and REST) that to keep it consistent, backwards compatible, in line with standards and supported by the community. You have a point there, but of course there are some advantages to having a platform that is open, community driven and backed by many vendors.
What is interesting for me at least with the ADF Rich Faces is not just the client side components. You are definitely right that anything those components do could have been done using other RIA technologies in the past. What is most interesting is that with ADF I have an end-to-end integrated multi-tier stack that allows me to create rich applications in a consistent, largely declarative and definitely rapid way, all the way from my business service to the client. With one tool and by and large a single set of skills, with a broad component set that covers most of my data presentation and interaction/manipulation needs, I am much better positioned to build the “enterprise” style applications my customers ask for. Not so much oriented at internet deployment, usually extranet or intranet, back office style applications.
One thing I don’t understand is that we seem to be pounding the same thing over and over again. I looked at the examples and they are plain vanilla except that they have JSF backing now. I don’t see any innovation. When I look at Flex and Silverlight, I believe they are a step in the right direction – try to make the web as rich as possible. Whether they are the right technology is not the question. Why is it that the Java community lagging so far behind? May be the whole JSR thing is a case in point that too open processes don’t acheive much as each geek on the committee has their agenda.

The following is an excerpt from the memoir: Those Who Remain: Remembrance and Reunion After War.
It’s late April 2011, and already broiling hot at the entrance to the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center in Columbus, Georgia. This outing is part of the planned program of events during my fourth reunion with the guys of Alpha Company. Once again, we’re part of a motley crew of former GIs who served in the 22nd US Army Infantry Division in various wars, a few spouses, and me, the only Vietnam War widow in the group. In spite of the fact that we are here among about two hundred veterans of all ages, our section of the bus – those connected in some way to Dave’s Company back in 1969 – behaves like a merry band of war buddies, joking and teasing, ribbing each other about things that happened long ago in the region of Tay Ninh. Now they include me in their repartee, as if I had been there, too.
How amazing to be on a road trip with these guys who were with Dave forty-two years ago in the jungles of Vietnam.
Each time I’m with these men at a reunion I’m flooded with the feeling that Dave is present among us, that he is smiling at me from somewhere in the room.
Joe, who carried the secret code book on the heels of Dave back in ’69, sits next to me. Quiet moments are rare in this group and when they occur I know that a memory has been retrieved, wrapped in words like a gift and is about to be presented to me. I’m like a visiting dignitary in these gatherings, beloved and honored, and served morsels of their long ago experience as if they know that I need to be nourished on these trips. This time it’s a mouthful.
Such strong, spontaneous utterances are normal among these men, but it’s hard to know what to say back except, thank you.
I’m ambivalent about this particular journey – not about the pleasure of being along with this special group and being almost one of the guys – but, once again, dubious about visiting military tributes and war memorials even though I survived the trip to the Vietnam Memorial very well in their company.
I try to participate in activities like this by keeping a look out for inconsistencies, irregularities, the little flaws in the whole cloth of the dramatic, cinematic re-telling of war such as we are about to experience at the Infantry Museum. My vigilance is evidence of the compromise I always feel at these reunions; I want to be with these people and hear their stories but I can’t condone military proliferation. I manage these experiences by interviewing my younger self and reflecting on my early brush with military life. What did you enjoy back then? Were you proud? Were you afraid?

Lee began his long retreat from Gettysburg in the rain on 4 July and 5. By the time the 33rd had re-crossed the Potomac and moved into camp around Orange Court House, the regiment numbered only 90 men. With the death of Captain George Bedinger and the only Lieutenant, Patrick Maxwell, absent sick, Captain D. B. Huffman of Co. G, 33rd Virginia Infantry assumed temporary responsibility for the shattered Emerald Guard.
Following Gettysburg, the 33rd Virginia Infantry continued to fight fiercely at Mine Run, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, where the majority of the Brigade was overrun and captured. Those that weren't captured were re-brigaded and saw action at Monocacy, Cedar Creek, Fisher's Hill, Petersburg, and Saylor's Creek.
Finally, at Appomattox, there were only 14 men of the Emerald Brigade left to surrender.


text: Stereoselective oligomeric chains of cis-1,4-poly(2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene) have been grown using the cobalt oxide surface as a template. The chains were formed by vacuum deposition of the monomer on an oxidized Co(0001) surface held at room temperature. The geometric structure of the 1-dimensional chains and their relationships to the structure of the surface were probed using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The typical chains were more than 10 monomer units in length and were highly linear in structure. When the chains were annealed to a temperature of 480 K, however, their morphology abruptly changed to irregularly shaped curves. We interpret this transformation as the result of scission of the methyl side groups of the oligomers. In addition to comprehensive STM topography data, we have investigated the chains using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The STS spectra show features with an energy spacing of 0.17 eV. We interpret this response as arising from an inelastic tunneling channeling involving excitation of the symmetric deformation mode of the methyl side groups.

Arsenal will on Thursday welcome Bate Borisov at the Emirates Stadium and they will be hoping to win this game with a huge margin because they lost 1 nil in the first leg of this Europa League encounter. Arsenal boss Unai Emery left Mesut Ozil at home because the German international had trained once before they flew to Belarus.
Mesut Ozil will start training on Monday with the rest of the Arsenal squad and most of the Arsenal supporters are hopeful that Unai Emery will this time include him in the starting eleven that faces Bate Borisov at home. Alexandre Lacazette got red carded on Thursday after hitting a Bate Borisov player with his elbow but there’s a way how this could indirectly be good news to Mesut Ozil.
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has this season used Mesut Ozil in various positions but we all know that the German international is most effective when the gunners are using a formation that will see him start as a Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM). The 4-2-3-1 formation requires a (CAM) so since Aubameyang will be the only available striker, then Unai could possibly use that formation since he won’t try to use a formation that supports two strikers ( Lacazette and Aubameyang ).
Mesut Ozil will be behind Aubameyang and the gunners will of course have gone back to using four at the back since Sokratis and Koscielny work well together unlike when Shkodran Mustafi is paired with either of them. Sokratis also did not travel with the team to Belarus but him and Ozil will this time take part in all training sessions done before Thursday’s game because they are back in full training.
So Lacazette’s red card will indirectly help Mesut Ozil to be used in his preferred position on Thursday when they welcome Bate Borisov at the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 32.

A shark has died after tourists and lifeguards were video taped pulling it from sea, just so they could pose for photos with it.
They dragged the shark from the waves to the beach, trapping its head in a rubber ring while laughing as it starts floundering and suffocates.
Apparently, the video was filmed in the Dominican Republic, with lifeguards from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana.
Pictures posted on social media show a number of Hard Rock Hotel staff smiling as they lean over the dying shark.
We can only hope that people will start to finally value animals lives, more than their pursuit for a perfect selfie.

« Three Websites, One Merchant Account?
Merchant Account, Gateway at the Same Time?
A common questions amongst new online merchants is where do you get your payment gateway from? Do you go straight to Authorize.net? Or do you get it from your merchant account provider?
You typically will get both in one place but this is not necessarily how it has to be done. Authorize.net can only be established through resellers and most resellers are also merchant account providers. So, you will find that whatever merchant account provider you chose will most likely also be able to establish your Authorize.net gateway for you. This way is the most common and the easies way to do it.
However, it is possible that you can get your payment gateway from one provider and merchant account from another. But you will find besides the fact that this is more work for you, you will also run into resistance from Authorize.net resellers and merchant account providers who want to sell you both services and not have another provider taking “a piece of the pie”. It is best to get both services from the same provider as the pricing for an Authorize.net gateway is virtually the same from most of their resellers.

By the end of the weekend, 300 soldiers will be patrolling that city and other towns in Ceara state in a bid to halt the rampage, national public security secretary Guilherme Teophilo said, according to government news agency Agencia Brasil.
The intervention is the first test of new President Jair Bolsonaro’s strict law-and-order platform since he took office last Tuesday.
His justice minister ordered the deployment after concluding that Ceara police were overwhelmed. Some 50 suspects have been arrested.
The gangs terrorizing Fortaleza could be seen torching service stations in security videos aired by Brazilian media. Dozens of attacks have been registered this week, forcing residents to stay at home and leaving main roads deserted.
In one attack, explosives badly damaged a pillar supporting a flyover road in the town of Caucaia, just to the west of Fortaleza.
The triggers for the wave of violence were being investigated, but intelligence reports published by media suggested gangs were revolting against tough new measures recently imposed in the state’s prisons.
The changes include blocks on cellphone signals and an end to a policy of separating inmates according to gang affiliation.
Two gangs have set aside their rivalry to join forces against the government, the G1 news website reported, citing security officials.
Bolsonaro has vowed to crack down on Brazil’s rampant crime by extending immunity to soldiers and police using lethal force and easing gun laws so “good” citizens can challenge armed criminals.
The far-right president, a 63-year-old former paratrooper, has made “restoring order” a centerpiece of his four-year mandate.
Much of that task falls to his justice minister, Sergio Moro, a former star judge who headed up Operation Car Wash, an investigation into Brazil’s biggest-ever corruption scandal.
Ceara’s governor belongs to the leftwing Workers Party which was driven into opposition by the election of Bolsonaro and his ultraconservative allies.
Brazil has the third biggest prison population in the world, behind the United States and China, with nearly 730,000 inmates as of 2016. Penitentiaries are overcrowded and prey to gangs that often viciously turn on each other.
The three gangs active in Ceara are the Red Command (CV by its initials in Portuguese) that grew out of organized criminal activity in Rio de Janeiro, the First Command of the Capital (PCC) based in Sao Paulo, and a group called the Guardians of the State (GDE).
Of those, the CV and the PCC are said to have sealed a “non-aggression” pact against each other in Ceara to focus against the government forces.
The 300 troops sent to reinforce state security forces will have a big task. Nearly 80 attacks have been reported in towns across Ceara state this week. The Brazilian state is larger than Costa Rica or Croatia.

My idea was to create a small and easy to use rescue Linux. However, over the years it became bigger and more powerful. Here is a short overview of important events.
After a few years of linux experience, I decided to make a own small linux distribution.
Boot: with a compiled linuxrc. I modified the linuxrc of Paul Hayter for my needs and how I thought in which way Plop Linux should boot.
Non public: With the help of the Linux from Scratch project I created my own minimal Linux that has GCC. From that point I was free from Linux Distributions and able to do my own stuff. Before, I used a small Redhat installation as base for years and compiled all I needed by myself. Now, with the small base Linux it was no problem to do all by myself and life without distributions.
Programs from myself compiled Linux.
Boot process converted from the static binary to my scripts to boot the Live Plop Linux.
Separate archive for booting from USB.
See the Change Log for more info's.
Live Version with support for blind people (brltty, Orca) + preconfigured.
New developer release + separated Xorg and Gnome archives.
Plop Linux rebuild from scratch with latest software releases.
Switched to systemd, but finally switched back to SysV.
Only Plop Linux Test releases.
Public release i486, x86_64, ARM.
Build and Release Tools released.

LONDON, April 22, 2015 – The Wells Fargo Startup Accelerator program today announced the selection of three early-stage U.S. companies for its spring 2015 program, in which they will learn to commercialize and market their ideas to enterprises. The news came at a global fintech conference in London. Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) also said it now is accepting applications worldwide until June 20 for the program’s fall class.
MotionSavvy (@motionsavvy) of Rochester, New York, which makes the world’s first two-way communication software for the deaf, utilizing the latest innovations in gesture and voice technology.
The Wells Fargo Startup Accelerator is designed to explore big ideas like these – and others, such as cybersecurity, big data, mobile, robotics, wearables, payments, and infrastructure – with innovators outside Wells Fargo and financial services for the future benefit of the bank’s customers.
In the six-month, hands-on Startup Accelerator program, Wells Fargo mentors connect early-stage companies with business and tech leaders inside the bank who are looking to solve real problems and explore new opportunities – people who potentially could buy their service. Wells Fargo funds each startup with investments up to $500,000.
“We guide startups through commercializing and marketing their ideas to financial services companies or other enterprises,” said Braden More, head of Enterprise Payment Strategy for Wells Fargo. “We get them ready to plug in to enterprise systems and become part of the corporate stack. That’s opposed to the classic startup accelerator model: desk, pipe, and power; and access to shared resources like a seasoned financial controller or human resources executive.
EyeVerify (@eyeverify) of Kansas City, Kansas, which wants to replace passwords with a picture of the eye. The company is now involved in a pilot with Wells Fargo corporate customers and working with dozens of companies, including seven of the world’s top 10 smartphone manufacturers.
Zumigo (@zumigo1) of San Jose, California – a mobile services developer using location and mobile identity technology for secure commerce and mobile marketing – is now working with the Wells Fargo Innovation Lab to explore use cases for Zumigo’s credit card, ATM, and location-based offer solutions. AlwaysOn Network recently named Zumigo a 2015 OnFinance Top 50 Companies to Watch.
Kasisto (@kasistoinc), New York City, builder of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) technology for enterprises, is now working on a proof of concept with the Wells Fargo Innovation Lab to use its AI engine to improve and enrich Wells Fargo customers’ mobile app experiences. Founders Grid recently named Kasisto one of New York’s top startups.
