Gov. Chris Christie's keynote address at the Republican convention didn't warrant a full story last week in the New York Times. Yet when San Antonio mayor Julian Castro delivered the keynote to the Democratic convention, Jeff Zeleny offered a full story in Wednesday's edition, giving the Democrats space from which to blast Republicans: "New Democratic Voice Challenges Republican Vision." Castro was also spared the fact-checking the Times afflicted upon Republicans last week in Tampa.
(Manny Fernandez had previously polished Castro's resume in a flattering preview of Castro's keynote: "The speculation lately about Mr. Castro's future has reached fever pitch; there is talk of his running for governor, earning a place in Mr. Obama's cabinet and even becoming the first Hispanic president. A Fox News Latino headline this summer read: 'Julián Castro: Son of Chicana Activist, Harvard Law Grad, Future U.S. President?'")
Zeleny wrote:
Mayor Julián Castro of San Antonio made his national debut on Tuesday evening at the Democratic convention, presenting himself as a generational testament to American opportunity that would not have been possible without hard work and a helping hand.
In his address, Mr. Castro offered a blistering critique of the Republican Party, sharply questioning whether Mitt Romney could understand the challenges of the middle class. He smiled as he assailed the policies of the Republican ticket, declaring, "Mitt Romney, quite simply, doesn't get it."
His speech was not a call for a new spirit of bipartisanship, as Mr. Obama had pledged in 2004, but rather a spirited assault on the Republican philosophies offered up by Mr. Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan, his running mate. Mr. Castro offered a direct rebuttal to the argument presented at last week's Republican convention in Florida.
He suggested that Mr. Romney and other Republicans were out of touch, noting a speech Mr. Romney gave in Ohio this year in which he urged students to start a business by borrowing money from their parents.
"Gee, why didn't I think of that?" Mr. Castro said with a smile. "Some people are lucky enough to borrow money from their parents, but that shouldn't determine whether you can pursue your dreams. I don't think Governor Romney meant any harm. I think he's a good guy. He just has no idea how good he's had it."
Castro was also spared the fact-checking the Times afflicted on Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.
The Annenberg Public Policy Center's Factcheck.org site pointed out that Castro "claimed the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, would raise taxes on the "middle class." Annenberg responded that Romney "has promised he won't. Democrats base their claim on a study that doesn't necessarily lead to that conclusion."
More from Annenberg's summary (go to the site for more detail):
...Castro, also said there have been 4.5 million "new jobs" under Obama. The fact is the economy has regained only 4 million of the 4.3 million jobs lost since Obama took office.
Castro also insisted Romney and Ryan would "gut" Pell Grants for lower-income college students. Actually, the Ryan budget calls only for "limiting the growth" of spending for the program, and Ryan has said the maximum grant of $5,550 would not be decreased.
And Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard caught another missed opportunity for fact-checking. Sheppard remembered the story behind Romney's "borrow money...from your parents" line derided by Castro and forwarded imprecisely by Zeleny, and provided the context the Times and rest of the media so eagerly provides when Republicans are attacking Obama. Here's an excerpt of what Romney actually said at Otterbein University in Ohio in April:
Even now I believe you're watching the president who has trying to deflect and divert. From his record by trying to find ways to, if you will, attack fellow Americans. Between rich and poor and other dimensions. This kind of divisiveness, this attack of success, is very different than what we've seen in our country's history. We've always encouraged young people take it, take a shot, go for it. Take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents. Start a business.
I was with a guy named Jimmy John. I've met Jimmy John. Jimmy John, hope I get the story entirely right, I think I will, he graduated from high school, and he didn't want to go to college. And he said to his Dad can I borrow some money I want to start a business. His dad said, "I just don't think you've got the discipline to start a business and make it work." And he said, "I'll loan you the money but if you can't pay it back with interest by the end of the year I want you to go into the military and sign up." And he said, "Okay I'll do that."

text: SPEECH/11/247 Janez Potočnik European Commissioner for Environment Let's keep the Mediterranean litter-free Joint plastic MED event with Commissioner Damanaki on the protection of the Mediterranean Sea Athens, 8 April 2011 I am very happy to be able to speak about marine litter today. It is a topic which really concerns me. Marine litter is a complex issue and it is a battle nobody can win alone. This is why I am pleased that Maria has accepted to join me in this huge undertaking. Marine litter started to attract media attention at the end of the 1990s when Charles Moore, an American oceanographer, discovered a new 'ocean' in the middle of the Pacific. He said, to quote: "Every time I came on deck to survey the horizon, I saw a soap bottle or a bottle cap. I was in the middle of the ocean and there was nowhere I could go to avoid the plastic." He had discovered the "Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch". Last November in Brussels, at a workshop we organised, I had the chance to meet Captain Moore. What he said made an impression on me. And actually marine litter is not limited to the Pacific Ocean. It is a global problem…Only recently there was a Global Marine Debris conference in Hawaii. I could not (unfortunately....) travel to Honolulu but I was able to contribute a prerecorded video message. But let's first ask a basic question: what is marine litter? Its main component is plastic waste (83%). This is why many people speak about the "plastic soup". In fact it is more than just plastic: it is made up of stuff that has been deliberately thrown out, unintentionally lost, or carried by winds and rivers, into the sea and onto the beaches. Discarded fishing nets find their way into the soup too. Overall, up to 80% of the marine litter actually comes from the land, from activities like tourism, sewage, illegal and poorly managed landfills. Most of the seabased stuff comes from shipping and fishing. Marine litter imposes an increasingly serious threat. First it threatens biodiversity. It ends up on coasts, in the water column, floating and on the sea bed. Marine litter and mainly plastic particles are ingested by sea animals. Marine life gets caught in nets and swallows plastic pellets. Second, marine litter threatens human and ecosystem health with the release of persistent bio-accumulating and toxic compounds for human beings and animal species. Third, it threatens our economies and has a social impact – it impacts fishing, boating and tourism. Fourth, Dare I say it also has an ethical dimension? What are we doing to our planet? It is like an enormous plastic hurricane. And WE made it! Marine litter is present everywhere and the EU marine waters are not immune. In the Mediterranean Sea, it has been estimated that about 250 billion floating plastic particles, representing a total of 500 tonnes of plastic waste dissolved1. 1 Reference: IFREMER and University of Liège. Estimates based on water samples taken off the coast of FR, northern IT and Spain at a depth of 10 to 15 m. 2 So what can be done? One of the problems with marine litter is the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. This makes it really important to continue and to step up actions for the collection of reliable data covering the whole of the Mediterranean. This has to be done with key stakeholders such as national, regional and local authorities, research institutes, industries, the tourism sector, NGOs... in a nutshell, with all of you! Given that the Mediterranean's marine litter comes mostly from the land, waste management infrastructures and practices throughout the region must be improved: in the south and east Mediterranean countries, more than 80% of landfills are uncontrolled; in Greece only 10% of plastic waste is recycled or recovered. Public awareness and education campaigns such as "Keep the Mediterranean Litter-free Campaign", carried out by three Greek organizations2 or the efforts of the well-known Greek Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association3, are essential. Not only because they get the public involved, which, given where the litter comes from, is necessary for the success of any initiative or policy, but also because they are a reliable source of data and information. Maybe, at this point in the presentation, you are thinking that some guy from Brussels is lecturing national and local stakeholders and not making any commitments. Here's my commitment: I will take my responsibilities seriously and use the tools I have at my disposal. My first tool is a legal instrument. It is the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. I will make sure it is fully implemented. It is my role, it is my duty. The Marine Directive identifies marine litter as one of 11 main concerns. In 2012 Member States must make an initial assessment on the state of the marine environment and define what is 'Good Environmental Status' with targets. A monitoring programme should be in place in 2014 and measures in 2015. Good Environmental Status will mean that marine litter does not harm the coastal and marine environment. Relevant indicators should refer to the litter on the beach, in the water column, the amount of micro-plastics, and plastic ingested by animals. An EC Technical group has been set up to make sure monitoring is standardized, so we are all measuring in the same way. My second tool is the regional sea Convention for the Mediterranean, the so-called "Barcelona Convention" (whose secretariat is, by the way, in Athens). The Barcelona Convention has been working hard since the mid eighties to address the problem. We thank them for that. A new and important milestone will be the adoption of a new Strategy by the Conference of the Parties (at the beginning of 2012). This will aim to minimise marine litter in the Mediterranean through regional and national activities. We will support the adoption and proper implementation of the Strategy. And we expect Greece to be actively involved. 2 Campaign which resulted, inter alia to a brochure in 11 languages and a series of awareness and clean-up events 3 HELMEPA, invited to the event. 3 My third tool is in fact a legal arsenal. It is not directly related to the marine environment but it is a powerful weapon. I said that 80% of marine litter comes from land – this means looking beyond the seas to see how we can solve the problem. It is a part of the broader problem of waste management. In terms of recycling and energy recovery rate of plastics, there are large differences between the Member States. Some Member States recover more than 90% of plastics; others (like Greece) recover less than 20%. Just to give you 2 examples: Denmark and the UK both joined the EU in 1973; they are both parties of the Atlantic North Sea Convention, and are both obliged to comply with the same EU legislation. But what do we see at the end? In the UK, about 75% of plastic are neither recycled nor used for energy production. In Denmark it is about 2%. The average for the EU + 2 (Norway and Switzerland) is 53%... only 53%. Higher recovery rates are needed. They are possible as shown by some countries. They are also needed because, and this may sound a bit obvious, or even a bit stupid, but waste is only a problem where it is seen as a problem. Perhaps I should explain. There are Member States that have managed through different instruments, such as landfill charges or taxes, to induce better behaviour and get their sorting and collection systems to work. But there comes a point - you might call it a tipping point - at which, because the waste is collected and separated it has greater value. And from that moment the state and the municipalities need to interfere much less. Once waste is seen as a resource, the demand for it allows for the system to work on its own. Once waste acquires its own market; people want it so that they can use it; to bury or burn it would be rather like burying or burning money. So the real challenge for Greece is to get to that point. We have a target for Member States to get to 22.5% recycling of packaging by 2008, and this target remains in effect today. You might ask whether such a target really serves a useful purpose. Several Member States have already shot way past it, and for them it is hardly an incentive to do even better. For others it could be argued that the target has not motivated them enough, so perhaps we should use other means. As with any target covering the whole of Europe, the average covers a lot of different stories. But for me the essential one is what you can see on this graph (and by the way it is the same story for many waste streams): that the front runners have shown what is possible in the period of just a few years. If some have done it there is no reason for other not to do it. They can actually benefit from the experiences of the front runners. Perhaps we should look at revising the target, but even today it serves to highlight how far apart the best and least successful performers are. Plastic bags are an integral part of packaging. As regards single use plastic carrier bags, some Member States have very effectively used economic instruments to achieve a significant reduction of their use in ways that are fully consistent with our Packaging Waste Directive. We need to share these experiences and learn from them. The serious impact of single use plastic bags on the environment was discussed by the Council of Ministers in March. We agreed to work together on developing effective responses; and we must consider and analyse the impact of all options, including a Europe-wide ban of plastic bags. 4 In addition to the points I've already mentioned, I would like to highlight some additional actions. - As you may know, I was the European Commissioner in charge of Science and Research for 5 years. Without knowledge, you can't anticipate or act. If we want to win our fight against marine litter we have to know more about it. This is why we will promote more research on the impacts of micro-plastics, the toxicity of plastics and the potential of bio-degradable plastics. And at the request of the European Parliament (our hosts today), we will develop pilot projects to look at loopholes in the plastic cycle in coastal areas. - We will also push for partnerships with all stakeholders, starting with industry. In Honolulu, global plastics organizations decided to take action and act together to create a framework for shaping solutions on marine litter. This initiative is to be welcomed. I'm therefore willing to investigate further what can be done at European level to encourage voluntary agreements with and within industry. - Last but not least, we will use the upcoming review of the Port Reception Facility Directive to look into possible amendments to improve the current system, reduce and avoid the discharges into the sea of ship-generated waste and cargo residues. A lot of work has to be done. Coordination and cooperation will be key. This is why I am considering the possibility of launching a political initiative on marine litter in the next coming months. Marine litter is a big, big problem. The United Nations Environmental Programme has called it a "dire, vast and growing threat". I am determined to address the problem. It will not be easy and it will take a long time. And I therefore invite you to join me and Maria to dive into this awful ocean... and say "NO" to the "plastic monster". 5


text: Due largely to the fact that he spent much of his adult life working outside of the country, and because of the very flexible nature of his work, which often shifted dramatically between styles and themes, Sébastien Bourdon's work has often been ignored in France. Bourdon was, it was thought, a chameleon, whose skill was more in mimicry than innovation. But as the comprehensive exhibition of his work at the Musée Fabre in 2000 demonstrated, Bourdon's career is now regarded somewhat differently. Painted in the last years of his life, The Lamentation brings forward many of the painter's fine attributes: dense, clear colours, emphatic modelling of form, and a dynamic composition that crystalises a series of often competing references, including Nicolas Poussin. As Bourdon often instructed his students, great innovation could be achieved by casting one's interests far and wide.

RICHMOND, B.C. — All year long Canadian speedskater Christine Nesbitt has been telling everyone who'd listen that she wasn't the favourite for the women's 2010 Olympic 1,000 metres.
Nope, Canada's latest Olympic golden girl would say, it's Germany's Anni Friesinger-Postma. Or it's Canadian teammate Kristina Groves who should be favoured to win the gold.
Well, it turns out the woman wasn't sandbagging. She believed it all along.
And Thursday, after she'd managed to overcome a shaky start and blister the final 200 metres to edge Dutch silver medalist Annette Gerritsen by two/100ths of a scond to earn Canada its third Olympic gold medal in these 2010 Games, we got a good idea why. The woman's a perfectionist. She's her own harshest critic.
"I'm still reflecting a lot on my race and it wasn't pretty," the 24-year-old from London, Ont., skater said at the press conference nearly an hour after she'd crossed the line in a time of one minute, 16.56 seconds to send the capacity 7,500 Richmond Olympic Oval crowd into a frenzy. Laurine van Riessen of the Netherlands got the bronze in 1:16.72, just six/100ths faster than Ottawa's Kristina Groves, who finished fourth.
"I've skated a lot better 1,000s this year so it's hard to not be critical because that's how I've always improved," the party-crushing Nesbitt said. "I wanted to improve so I could win the Olympics. It's only natural that I want to criticize everything I do in skating.
"I'm lucky," continued Nesbitt, who became the first speed skater to win an Olympic gold medal on home ice since Chris Witty did it in the women's 1,000 in 2002 in Salt Lake City. "I didn't skate, techically, a great race for myself. I love criticising myself. I'm kind of happy but I'm kind of back and forth.
"I have mixed emotions."
So this is a great new strategy for Canada's Olympians. Win a gold medal. Kick yourself in the teeth.
It wouldn't work for everyone but it works for Nesbitt, who had won all four World Cup 1,000 metre events she raced this year. She won the 1,000 last March at the World Single Distance Championships, setting the track record of 1:16.28.
That attitude is a big reason why she's a winner.
And no one knows this better than her coach, Marcel Lacroix.
"Oh absolutely she believed that," said Lacroix when asked about Nesbitt's earlier attempts to play down her chances of winning here.
"She knew way back that she was going to be nervous, that it was going to be hard to race under pressure. For her she knew there was going to be some curveballs that she's never seen before. She felt she was just a rookie in this one."
"Today she crossed the line and she knew it wasn't a perfect race.
"She slipped. She was able to keep it together. It was ok but it wasn't great.
"She's so honest. She looks at herself in the mirror and she knows, no that wasn't the perfect line. She crosses the line and she thinks right away that it could have been better. Kudos to her."
Yes. A whole country is giving her kudos and kisses.
And what's Nesbitt doing? Focusing on Sunday's 1,500 and telling everyone she'll need to be much better in that one.
"If I skate like I did today in my 1,500 it won't be good enough to get me on the podium. I'll focus on that and after my 1,500 maybe I'll be able to appreciate this more."
Bet on it. She'll be a force in the 1,500 as will Groves, who got a bronze in the 500 xxxxx.
"Kristina Groves, I must say this, she's in very good shape and when you see her laps, watch for her in the 1,500," offered Germany's Friesinger-Postma, who was 14th Thursday.
"She's too kind," said Groves. "I'll just do my best in the next race and focus on that for the next few days."
"It was a pretty good race for me in terms of the result," she said of the 1,000. "I did't feel quite as fluid as I had hoped but it's my best result in the 1,000 this year. It's such a competititive distance.
"That's what it is," she said of being three/100ths off the podium. "I was lucky the other day to get the bronze by three/100ths."
Winnipeg's Shannon Rempel finished 21st Thursday in 1:18.174. Brittany Schussler, also of Winnipeg, was 25th in 1:18.31.
It's Canada's third gold medal of these Games, already equalling the number won at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.
In Turin Canada got 24 medals, seven gold, 10 silver and seven bronze.
Nesbitt earned one of the silvers as part of the women's team pursuit.

Performance users of human growth hormone spend a lot of time researching the best time to take HGH.
Getting the timing right with anabolic drugs is felt to be critical for safety and efficacy in bodybuilding and fitness.
Some fitness enthusiasts insist that morning is the ideal time to take GH. Others believe that staggering their doses throughout the day leads to the best results.
Recommendations around dosages and timing for physique enhancement are based on anecdotal evidence.
Supplementing this way, regardless of the time of day, can expose the user to a number of negative side effects.
HGH is synthetic, and can have a number of unpleasant health outcomes, including carpal tunnel syndrome and thyroid dysfunction.
Natural GH releasers like HGH-X2 are a safe, legal alternatives with very concrete guidelines for scheduling doses, taking away the guesswork.
Згідно CrazyBulk, the best time to take this dietary supplement is 20 minutes before breakfast.Купити HGH-X2 онлайн тут.

Experienced HGH users often recommend users do not take HGH before bed for performance purposes.
This is despite a 1990 clinical study that demonstrated that HGH is more effective for normalizing HGH levels when taken in the evening.
Physique builders are quick to point out that the subjects of this study were GH-deficient patients, not athletes or bodybuilders.
Since HGH is not approved for bodybuilding purposes in many countries, robust clinical data about the safety and benefit of taking performance doses of HGH during certain times of day as opposed to others is not available.
Performance users have to rely on the advice of their peers, who can only offer anecdotal guidelines based on their experience.
Bodybuilders report that it is a waste to take HGH during times of day when the body's endogenous production of growth hormone is at its highest.
The human body produces HGH throughout the day in a pulsatile way, but the heaviest pulses are said to come around two or so hours after going to bed, once someone is asleep.
З іншого боку, the synthetic HGH that is injected to build muscle mass is highly absorbable, and the human body uses it within about three hours of taking it.
Знаючи це, performance users develop a strategy for taking HGH based on their age and individual sleep cycle.
The best time of day to take HGH can be a highly individualized thing.
With someone who is in their 20's to early 50's, their body is very likely still producing a good amount of its own HGH.
Many bodybuilders claim that people in this age range should probably take their HGH supplement in the early morning, as soon after they wake up as possible.
People who follow this routine inject after their body's own natural release of HGH while they were sleeping.
Before beginning any supplement regimen, it is recommended that users recieve testing on their natural HGH production at their physician's office.
Some people are really precise about their morning GH routine, getting up between 3 am and 5 am to inject themselves with the understanding that this is the optimum time.
Однак, other bodybuilders disagree that going through this trouble is necessary to get the full benefits of their supplementation.
These users will opt to wait until they naturally wake up in the morning before taking their growth hormone injection.
Other people don't like to take the whole dose at once, and so divide it up during the day.
Bodybuilders who prefer to use HGH this way claim it is better to take part of their dose when they first wake up, and the second part in the early afternoon.
The reasons bodybuilders supplement this way is that these are held to be the times of the day when cortisol levels are at their highest.
Because cortisol is a catabolic hormone, meaning it breaks down muscle tissue, HGH injections are taken in an attempt to mitigate this effect.
The average performance dosage of HGH is between 2 МО і 6 МО в день.
Splitting dosage in this way would mean a bodybuilder would inject 1-3 IUs in the morning, і ще один 1-3 IUs in the afternoon.
A downside often pointed out in discussions about this method is the amount of injections it requires.
The more injections a bodybuilder takes, the more exposed they are to the risk of injection-related side effects like infection and soreness.
These dosages also often exceed medically recommended dosages, which fall in the range of 1-3IU per day.
Because performance dosages are administered without a prescription and without medical oversight, the risks of adverse side effects increase, regardless of the time of day the HGH is taken.
Some of the side effects commonly associated with HGH include:
Natural dietary supplements like HGH-X2 do not require a medical prescription because they do not carry nearly the same risks for side effects.
These natural HGH alternatives do not claim to provide the same degree of results as synthetic Somatropin, but they work to ramp up the body's natural production of this hormone to provide moderate boosts at the gym.
According to some advanced GH users, the guidelines covered so far may not apply to performance users who are older than their mid-50's.
Younger people who have a diagnosed condition that makes their pituitary gland unable to release normal amounts of HGH may also be advised against morning or afternoon injections.
In either of these situations, the best time to take their HGH injections is believed to be just before the user goes to bed.
This is argued through a 4-week clinical study conducted on 8 HGH-deficient subjects in 1990.
The study randomly assigned some of the subjects to take a morning dose, some to take an evening dose, and some to have no dose at all.
The study concluded that the patients who received the evening doses had the most success achieving correct levels of natural GH.
This is believed to be because dosing this way lets the patient mimic the way their pituitary would function if it was doing so normally.
У всякому разі, if a user is taking HGH for health reasons rather than bodybuilding purposes, they should follow the advice of the doctor supervising their treatment
Unless a bodybuilder is older than their mid-50's or has a pituitary condition, bodybuilders believe the user should not take HGH before bed because it could keep the body from releasing its natural nightly pulse of it.
Taking HGH before bed often enough may throw the pituitary off completely, preventing the body from releasing its own HGH at the proper time and in the proper amounts.
With HGH suppression or shutdown, a bodybuilder could be dependent on HGH supplements for the rest of their life.
This new HGH cycle would be just to keep their body in a normal hormonal state rather than the original goal of reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass.
These are not the only timing strategies a HGH-supplementing bodybuilder might use with their HGH dose.
If a bodybuilder is using insulin, their HGH dose may be timed completely differently.
Bodybuilders believe the best way to approach dosing in this situation is to take their HGH right before their workout, and their insulin immediately after their workout.
The HGH before the workout is thought to provide the best fat mobilizing effects, and gives the HGH a headstart to get to the liver at the same time as the insulin.
HGH and insulin are used together by fitness enthusiasts to enhance the IGF-1 (інсуліноподібний фактор росту) production from the liver.
Bodybuilders pay close attention to timing of their HGH injections to improve their chances of success in reaching their weight loss and lean body mass goals.
Однак, the illegal nature of supplementing with HGH for bodybuilding means there are no trusted studies on its actual benefits or safety.
All these guidelines are anecdotal and based on the experiences of other bodybuilders.
A bodybuilder can run the risk of a number of unpleasant health issues by supplementing with HGH, and the timing of the dose can influence this risk.
Bodybuilders who have any questions about timing the dose of their HGH should consult with their doctor.
Using a natural, юридичні, and proven safe alternative like HGH-X2 can help bodybuilders avoid that awkward conversation with a medical professional who will not condone the use of HGH for bodybuilding.
It also lets a bodybuilder experience moderate gains in muscle mass and endurance while sidestepping some of the severe life-altering side effects associated with GH.

I honestly didnt realise hed finally gone for it.......good on him then....and nice to be proved wrong dont mind admitting when Im wrong...
Right ok - say we bring in ancellotti, nothing changes we remain bottom 3 and out the competitions- where do we go from there? We pay him off aswell? Unsworth KNOWS these players especially the U23s of which account for about 40% of this current squad, we need to grind results out now before we really end up in the shit, a foreign manager who doesn't understand everton or this squad may well take time to get going, we can't afford that at the minute.BTW if the players want him that's massive.
Fair enough, but it isn't proof really, I just googled it and I found these references.
this was how he signed off the interview....

Back with Acura
By Bartlett92 on Sunday, August 31, 2014Traded in the MKX and went back to Acura. My wife and I both say it's fun to drive. Better gas mileage then the Lincoln.

Reliable, confortable drive.
By Ignacio on Wednesday, June 26, 2019I previously owned Mercedes SUV's and I did not have with them the reliability and dependability of an RDX Acura. The 3.5-liter engine offers enough power to provide acceleration when needed. The interior is comfortable and the materials durable. The ride is dynamic and comfortable, even for long trips. The recall for the airbag was taken care of without complications (I even got a rental for the time it took). This is a car I definitely would buy again. Too bad they went back to the smaller turbo engine. I bet they will reverse that decision soon.

Love the convenience and power of this suv
By RK Kansas on Tuesday, September 13, 2016I traded in my '07 TL type-s for this back in December. After checking out cars at the auto show, I liked the looks and the gas mileage of the RDX out of all the SUV's in its class. I have been getting around 21 mpg in town and 26-27 on trips, which was better than my TL on local mpg. I got the RDX AWD with Tech package and love the seats and sound system (but was used to better as I had the type-s TL which had the premium sound system and navigation as well). I also love the jeweled headlights for their look and also for the visibility they give me. After being in this it would be hard for me to go back to a car again.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are usually the team that sits atop the AFC North while others try to chase them down, but through five games this season, the Cincinnati Bengals are the team that's sitting pretty in first place.
When the Bengals (4-1) play host to the Steelers (2-2-1) on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, they could take early command of the division. But if the Steelers win, they'll be just a half game out of first place and right back in the thick of the race.
"I think both teams realize this division is a lot tighter than it has been in years," Steelers guard Ramon Foster said. "The teams that execute and don't hurt themselves will be the No. 1 seed."
The Bengals are winning in different ways -- capitalizing on turnovers, piling up offense, pulling off late dramatics and grinding.
"Last week, it was the offense," Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. "This week, it was the defense."
The Bengals roared back from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter last Sunday for a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
The rally began with running back Joe Mixon's 18-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the fourth quarter.
Then the defense stepped up in a big way.
First it was defensive end Michael Johnson, who alertly got his hands on a ball that went off a helmet and raced into the end zone for a 22-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Then came a 19-yard fumble return for a score by rookie defensive end Sam Hubbard off a Carlos Dunlap strip-sack to ice it with 2:37 remaining.
"It's really a credit to Carlos Dunlap," Hubbard said. "He was chasing the quarterback down and hit the ball right into my lap. All I had to do was run straight."
The Bengals produced multiple defensive touchdowns for the first time since Oct. 27, 2013, when Adam Jones and Chris Crocker did it in a rout of the New York Jets.
Meanwhile, the offense is producing. The Bengals are fourth in the NFL in scoring (30.6 points per game) and A.J. Green has 26 receptions for 409 yards and five touchdowns.
A Cincinnati win could change the narrative of who is in charge in the AFC North.
"Nobody gave us a chance when the season started," Green said. "Why do they believe in us now? We're going to continue to keep playing and keep playing for each other."
Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick took it a step further.
"We're the team to beat right now. Not them," Kirkpatrick said.
But the Bengals also must face the fact that they're 1-7 at home against the Steelers in the Dalton-Green era, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a 14-2 record in Cincinnati, and Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is 5-18 against Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
The Steelers offense established the run early last week in a win over the Atlanta Falcons despite the continued absence of unsigned running back Le'Veon Bell. They will look to do the same against a Bengals defense that has struggled to stop the run.
The Dolphins averaged 5.8 yards per carry last week and the Bengals rank 23rd in the league against the run.
The Steelers' ability to get second-year back James Conner going against the Falcons paid big dividends in the passing game in the second half. Roethlisberger threw two of his three touchdown passes after halftime, including a 47-yard strike to Antonio Brown.
"I think we just got to see what we're capable of doing," Roethlisberger said. "I think guys did their job. We talk about trying not to do too much, doing more than your job. I tell the guys before the game: If we, collectively, if we all do our jobs, we're pretty darn good."

Other types of pneumatic tubing and air hose accessories we always stock include:
- Tube clips and cutters for achieving the desired length of hose, and securing pneumatic air line tubing to a fixed surface for tidy work areas while safely avoiding machinery or other obstructions.
- Tube manifolds and manifold caps, commonly used in pneumatic and hydraulic tubing systems to connect multiple smaller pipes into one larger one, controlling air or liquid flow around the system via a series of valves.
- Hose reel mountings and other air line storage/housing devices.
- Its an excellent conductive material, great for transferring heat in HVAC setups
- Its a difficult medium for bacteria to grow on, ideal for use in water-carrying applications
- Copper tubing is a strong and durable material that doesnt corrode easily, yet offers enough flexibility for buildings and systems that require tight bends and cornering.
What do I need to know about buying air hose for pneumatic applications?
- Air hose comes in a range of sizes, with different operating temperatures and pressures. Understanding the maximum values for your intended application is critical to ensuring the safety of the user, as well as the integrity and longevity of the hose.
- Air hoses, unlike typical hoses, tend to have high operating pressures - but it's vitally important to check manufacturer guidelines against your requirements prior to installation.
- Air hose can be fixed in place around a workstation, or mounted on retractable reels affixed to a nearby wall or ceiling.
- It can typically be cut to length where necessary.

As both a furniture designer and author, Paul T. Frankl (18861958) had a powerful influence shaping the unique identity of American modernist design in the early 20th century. Stylish and astute, Frankl won a broad group of admirers, who ranged from Frank Lloyd Wright to a host of Hollywood stars, and a keynote of Frankl's talent was the degree to which he absorbed aesthetic cues from his surroundings. As he wrote in his 1928 book New Dimensions: The Decorative Arts of Today in Words and Pictures: "The art of today must be created today. It must express the life about us. It must reflect the main characteristics and earmarks of our own complex civilization." Few designers have been as attuned as Frankl to the forms and materials in their environment.
Born in Vienna, Frankl trained in architecture there and in Berlin before moving to New York in 1914. He designed interiors and theatre sets, and opened a gallery selling furniture designed by himself and others. Frankl's first great design success came with his "Skyscraper Furniture" line, first issued in 1925 and characterized by tall cabinets with staggered shelves meant to mimic the jagged setbacks of Manhattan office towers. In a few years, as buildings in the "Streamline Moderne" style rose, Frankl introduced his "Speed" club chairs and sofaspieces with raked profiles suggesting forward motion.
In 1934, Frankl moved to Los Angeles, where he would live out the rest of his life. Taken by the climate, scenery, and the casual pace of life, he pronounced it "heaven," a perfect antidote to the "the mad rush, high tension and fierce pressure" he experienced in New York. Upon his move, Frankl's entire approach to design changed. His furniture became lighter, simpler, and inflected by Asian design forms. His work attracted clients such as Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Fred Astaire, and, Frankl biographer Christopher Long maintains, prompted a trend to brighter, airy movie set decoration within the film industry. Most tellingly, Frankl embraced natural materials: texture-rich upholstery like hide and nubby wool; "combed" wood panels with raised striations; chair and sofa frames made of rattan; and cork finished with beeswax, which featured in the line of tables and consoles designed, beginning in the late 1940s, for the Johnson Furniture Company. These fresh, elegant designs are, perhaps, a testament not only to Frankl's talents, but also to the transformative power of Southern California.

Today we are surrounded by bags of 19th-century marbles, buttons, beads, ceramics and pieces of iron and copper alloy hardware. Our job is to catalog and analyze each one of these artifacts, which were excavated from domestic sites of slavery—the houses and surrounding yards where enslaved people lived and worked—at the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's plantation in Nashville, Tennessee. This is a typical day for us in the office, although we aren't always surrounded by such amazing material culture. We work at the Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS). Our database and website, www.daacs.org serve archaeological data from over 80 sites of slavery in the southeastern United States and Caribbean free of charge to researchers and the public. Founded in 2000, and funded by the Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, DAACS is based in the Archaeology Department at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.
Why do we do this?
Although it's fun to study artifacts all day, we do have a larger purpose for our work. DAACS facilitates the comparative archaeological study of regional variation in slavery by providing researchers with standardized data from archaeological sites that were once homes to enslaved Africans and African Americans. A critical goal of our work is making data from archaeological excavations (those conducted in the 1970s all the way up through today) accessible and usable for archaeologists, historians, educators, and the public. Although excavation is essential to archaeological research, thousands of collections sit in museums and archaeological repositories that have not been cataloged or analyzed but have the potential to greatly inform our understanding of the past. By making data that has been cataloged using the same protocols from a variety of archaeological sites available via our website, DAACS is helping scholars advance our historical understanding of early-modern slave societies, by encouraging data sharing and comparative analysis across archaeological sites and geographic regions.
How do we do this?
Our staff consists of our Director, three full-time archaeological analysts and one or two part-time analysts. Although we are small staff, we get a lot done! On any given day we alternate between analyzing excavation information from field records, cataloging artifacts, answering material culture questions from colleagues, digital data management, and analysis for our own research projects.
There are four different ways that archaeological data gets into DAACS:
- Archaeological collections come to us at Monticello and we catalog them on-site in the DAACS Lab.
- We travel to the collections and field sites (so far we have cataloged collections in Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, Nevis, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina).
- We conduct our own field work projects on Jamaica and Nevis through the DAACS Caribbean Initiative and enter the data into the DAACS database. All information from these sites are launched on daacs.org within a year of excavation. Learn more about our work in Jamaica and Nevis through DAACS and the International Slavery Museum.
- Finally, our colleagues who are trained in DAACS protocols and database entry can directly enter their data into DAACS via our web application, daacsrc.org.
Over the last five months we have analyzed material culture from Stratford Hall's West Yard in Virginia, the Morne Patate Estate, an 18th c. sugar plantation in Dominica, and slave dwellings associated with The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's home in Tennessee.
The data is entered using our standardized set of protocols into a PostgreSQL database thorough a web application built in Ruby-on-Rails software (www.daacsrc.org). In addition to analyzing artifacts, and the archaeological contexts from which they came, DAACS staff digitize site maps, photograph artifacts, digitize existing slides of fieldwork, produce Harris matrices, and develop detailed site chronologies and discursive background content for each site. All of this content accompanies the artifact data when an archaeological site is launched on the DAACS website.

I discovered a great deal about identity today.
I went to the passport office to renew my Canadian passport.
I was treated very politely and given the necessary form.
I filled it out accurately and completely. Went to the passport officer and presented form, new photos and current passport. She opens the passport and looks at the photo page and says, "This passport is invalid."
I reply, "I worked in the United States for one year using that passport, the TN1 visa is still inside."
She says, "You didn't sign the passport. It's invalid."
I think to myself, "I could take the passport outside, sign it and come back in. In fact, I could take the passport and sign it right in front of her. There was never a requirement for a witness; it could have been signed by anyone. This policy is retarded."
She asks me for additional identification. I don't have a driver's license because I sold my car and decided I would use public transit. I offer my Social Insurance Card, but the signature has been rubbed off. I offer my birth certificate, but it has no signature. I offer my provincial health card, but it has no signature. I offer my credit card, my debit card and my library card. I consider my Movie Village card because the signature is laminated.
She takes everything to her manager. She comes back and gives me a slip of paper. "This is the address of the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission. They are on the far side of the city. Have them provide you with a photo ID with your signature and fax me a copy."
I tell her, "I don't drink."
She replies, "You don't have to."
I jump on a bus and I go across town. I give the MLCC all the same ID that I gave the passport officer. They have me sign a form and in five minutes I have a photo ID with my signature. Because the signature pad is electronic and does not provide visual feedback as I am writing I find the first name and last name of my signature overlap. Maybe it is designed to emulate your signature when you are blind drunk. I'm over 40 and for the first time I have a card that explicitly states I can legally drink alcohol.
I travel all the way back across town to the passport office. I explain that the passport officer required me to provide another piece of identification. I am directed to a special officer. She makes a photocopy of the MLCC photo ID with signature and says, "Thank you, that's it."
Can you explain to me what was achieved by my going to the MLCC which cost me an additional $25 when you include bus fare, which couldn't have been achieved by me simply signing my passport?
I protected one bureaucrat's legalism by exploiting another bureaucrat's legalism. And the bureaucracy doubled its money.
I will have a renewed passport in two weeks.
They call themselves "public servants", so why is the public required to jump through mindless hoops to make them appear vigilant?
We do these unnecessary and costly things bureaucrats tell us because we are not willing to sacrifice the greater cost of preserving our integrity and the integrity of policy.
Consequently, the bureaucrat keeps her job, politicians maintain the illusion of governance and we all lose. Time, money, value.
Will my passport protect me and the global community? Yes.
Did I also perform a mindless ritual? Yes.
I believe that a healthy society is regulated by public servants. However mindless observance of regulations by public servants fails both the public and the policy makers.
Anyone who tells you to violate your integrity to preserve theirs has none. All they are doing is seeking a bigger piece of the pie at your expense. It's a measure of bargaining not morality.

GuideStar last week rolled out enhancements to its online GuideStar Premium tool that should increase the ability of donors and their advisors to analyze information about nonprofit organizations.
The new enhancements, in addition to the standard financial, compensation and board information Premium currently delivers, will allow users to download data on revenue and expenses; balance sheets; officers, directors and key employees; highest paid employees for up to the five most recent fiscal years; and board data for the most recent year.
As well, users will be able to create custom reports, graphs and presentations.
"These enhancements to GuideStar Premium were made based on feedback from customers who told us they wanted to be able to slice, dice and refactor our high quality nonprofit data for presentations to clients, boards, executive committees, prospects and other key stakeholders," Pamela Jowdy, senior product manager at GuideStar, said in a statement. "We are happy to deliver all of these options."
Other GuideStar Premium updates include:
- Search by total assets and total expenses, rather than just income
- Define a customized—rather than predefined—range for income, total assets and total expenses searches
- Use negative values to search for underperforming organizations
- View new information when comparing organizations—board chairman, fiscal year dates, number of employees and links to affiliated organizations have all been added to the benchmarking tool
- Build benchmarking comparison grids and export them into Excel-compatible files.
GuideStar provides information on the programs and finances of more than 1.8 million IRS-recognized nonprofits, the organization said in the statement. Subscribers to its services inside and outside the nonprofit sector include individual donors, nonprofit leaders, grantmakers, government officials, academic researchers and the media.

If intellect, energy and force of will in the 1990s could have turned Lake County from its race toward the out-of-control growth of the next decade, then Rolon Reed would have been legendary.
Heaven knows he tried.
The retired judge from New York with a soft spot in his heart for pigs and dogs managed deftly to help guide a fledgling majority of county commissioners who advocated slow growth and thoughtful government.
As county attorney in 1994 and 1995, he set in place a legacy of following the letter of the law — a process about which Lake had never been overly particular before his arrival. But the slow-growth majority was short-lived, and Lake went on to grow rapidly in the far-flung areas Reed passionately believed should remain off limits to development to maintain the county's rural lifestyle.
Reed, described as "the most interesting character I've ever met" by former commissioner Richard Swartz, died Sunday morning at the age of 80 after a long struggle with lung disease.
It's agony to watch men like Reed pass from the community. The Yale University-educated lawyer took with him a unique way of thinking and reasoning and an energy level that made things happen.
He had rare gifts, and his wife, Diana, knew it the first moment she saw him.
She had just moved to Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., in the early 1980s, where Reed, a partner in a prestigious Wall Street law firm, was the mayor. She attended a village meeting where he was presiding, seated at the apex of a V-shaped platform with the other trustees flanking him.
"Gavel in hand, he was wearing a navy-blue T-shirt emblazoned with large white letters that said 'IRATE TAXPAYER' and a Yankee baseball cap on his head. That evening was the first game of the World Series," she wrote in an email. "With liberal use of his gavel, Mayor Reed was dispensing decisively and quickly with one item of business after another so that everyone could get home to watch the ballgame.
"The energy he created in the room was palpable."
When the couple moved to my neighborhood in Lake Jem, Reed quickly hooked up with a group of slow-growth advocates plotting a takeover of the County Commission. When they won, they appointed Reed interim county attorney.
At the time, the state wanted Lake County to come up with a strong comprehensive plan that guided growth to the cities and kept urban sprawl out of rural areas. Property owners and development attorneys were leaning hard on the county to avoid such a thing, said Swartz, who was a commissioner then.
"There didn't seem to be any rational discussion at times. But Rolon was straightforward — 'Here's what it says. Here's what you have to do. You can't do this.' He didn't try to make it soft around the edges. He was full-speed-ahead-damn-the-torpedoes," Swartz reminisced.
"That was Rolon."
Folks who worked for the county thought Reed eccentric and quirky. They should have known him at home.
Once, Reed managed to get his hands on a collection of illegal fireworks, which he proudly displayed to neighbors — while smoking a cigarette. People scattered.
Some of the collection was set off during a party at his place, and it backfired into his screened porch, causing one person to leap out of the way in a panic.
"Oh, wow!" Reed exclaimed in his gravelly voice. "Far out!"
That was Reed's favorite expression, and it came in handy quite often.
Another time, he and former commissioner Rhonda Gerber together bought a pig at the county fair. Reed had the porcine unit brought to his farm, where he also kept a particularly troublesome herd of cattle. Their leader was a vicious cow named Delilah, who was usually engaged in either kicking or chasing Reed through the pasture.
Reed christened the pig "Rhonda," and she lived for a time in a little pig shed with a hand-lettered sign that proclaimed "Guest House." As a joke, neighbors toting forks and knives showed up with napkins tied around their throats, urging him to plan a barbecue.
Reed did finally have the pig converted to packages of ribs that ended up in a freezer in his garage. One night, however, he dreamed of Rhonda the pig's face looking at him from inside the freezer. The next morning, he gave away all the meat.
Reed was born in Pittsburgh. He graduated in 1953 from Columbia College, part of Columbia University, where he served as managing editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator newspaper staff. Reed was part of the editorial board that decided to endorse Adlai Stevenson for president during the 1952 campaign.
This was a bit touchy since Stevenson's opponent, Dwight Eisenhower, was Columbia University's president at the time. Typical Rolon.
Reed was also a member of the Columbia chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, succeeding pioneer sportscaster Roone Arledge as its president. He considered a career in journalism but eventually enrolled in Yale's law school.
Reed wasn't kidding when he said he wanted this inscription on his tombstone:
"I had a ball."
Here's hoping that he's having as much fun where he is now.

2007 Colavita/Sutter Men's Team Announced
The Colavita/Sutter Home Men's Cycling Team presented by Cooking Light will enter the 2007 racing season with a powerful line-up of world-class champions and strong young cyclists.
As previously announced, David McCann, the three-time and current Irish National Road Champion, and Charles Dionne, two-time winner of the San Francisco Grand Prix have signed with Colavita/Sutter Home for the 2007 season. With their international experience and complementary strengths in road racing, criteriums, and time trials, the pair represent a powerful addition to the squad that will also include returning Colavita/Sutter Home cyclists Davide Frattini, Gustavo Artacho, and Tyler Wren, along with veterans Alejandro Acton, Hayden Godfrey, and Peter Hatton. Acton, a native of Argentina, distinguished himself last year as winner of several major criteriums riding for Target Training. Godfrey, who competed in the 2004 Olympics, is a 13-time New Zealand National Champion, and Hatton, of Australia, rode for Jittery Joe's in 2006.
A strong time trialist and GC threat, McCann has been racing with the Giant Asia team where he racked up strong performances, including the overall win at the Tour of Indonesia and the leaders jersey in the Tour of Thailand. In June, McCann again won the Irish National Championship and will bring the Green Clover jersey over to North America to race for the first time.
Dionne, the former Canadian Criterium Champion, raced in the Pro Tour with Saunier Duval-Prodir last year. He will mark his return to the North American racing circuit as a member of the Colavita/Sutter Home team in 2007 after being curtailed by injury.
"We are very excited about the prospects for the Colavita/Sutter Home racing franchise in 2007," said Team Director Tom Schuler of Team Sports, "We are well-positioned for podium finishes in every type of event on the NRC calendar."
Schuler continues, "The Colavita/Sutter Home squad combines the power and speed of international pros such as like David McCann and Charles Dionne with the strength and commitment of a deep bench of younger riders." In the upcoming season, the Colavita/Sutter Home Cycling Team will feature several talented young riders, including Luca Damiana of Italy, making his NRC racing debut, and American cyclists Anthony Colby, Andy Guptill, Adam Bergman, Bryan Smith, and Dan Vaillancourt.
The Colavita/Sutter Home Men's Cycling Team presented by Cooking Light will kick off the 2007 season with ten days of intense training in the hills of Napa Valley, CA hosted by co-title sponsor Sutter Home Winery. Sutter Home will also be providing training facilities and accommodations for the Colavita/Sutter Home Women's Cycling Team, which includes 2006 Women's NRC Champion Tina Pic and Canadian National Champion Alex Wrubleski. News and information about the Colavita/Sutter Home Cycling Teams presented by Cooking Light is available at www.TeamColavita.com.

Gorloks Capture Fifth Straight SLIAC Title
May. 12, 2014
ST. LOUIS (MAY 10, 2014) - For the eighth time in the last nine completed tournaments, the #1 ranked Webster University baseball team took home the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship with a 12-4 win over Greenville College. The Gorloks won their fifth straight crown, on May 10, at Glik Park in Highland, IL.
With the win, Webster advances to the NCAA III Championships, possibly landing at the Regional in Moline, IL. Webster improves to 37-5, with the victory, tying the team record for wins in a single season, set last season as the Gorloks finished 37-12.
Freshman C.J. Lee had the win on the mound and senior Corey Lasky a big day at the plate for Webster. Lee (Aurora, IL/Waubonsie Valley HS) went five innings, giving up three hits and three walks. He gave up a solo home run to the Panthers in the fifth for his only run, and struck out three to improve to 5-1.
Lasky (Vernon Hills, IL/Adlai E Stevenson HS) was 4-4, with two doubles, four RBIs, four runs, two stolen bases, and reached on a hit by pitch. Lasky had a hand in all three Gorlok run-scoring rallies.
In the Webster first, Lasky led off with a single and stole second. Taylor Stoulp (SR, St. Louis, MO/ST. Mary's HS) brought him home with a single up the middle for a 1-0 lead.
The Gorloks added six more in the second. Jeff Kammer (JR, Chesterfield, MO/Lafayette HS) led off with a solo home run, his eighth of the year. Charlie Gandolfi (JR, Mundelein, IL/Mundelein HS) singled and Kevin Kojs (SR, New Lenox, IL/Lincoln Way Central HS) hit a bouncer on the left field warning track, for a run-scoring double.
Ian Foege (SR, Eureka, MO/Eureka HS) and Matt Wollnik (FR, Naperville, IL/Neuqua HS) walked to load the bases. Lasky hit a ball inside the first base line for a two-run double. Ryan Hall (SR, Chesterfield, MO/Eureka HS) lifted a sac fly to score Wollnik. A Joe Winckel (SR, Bonne Terre, MO/North County HS) two-out single scored Lasky, and Webster led, 7-0.
Webster made it 10-0 in the third. Kojs walked and Wollnik singled, followed by a Lasky double down the left field line for two runs. Lasky then scored on a two-base error.
After Lee departed after the fifth, a succession of relievers finished up for Webster. Dylan Dean Smith (SR, Albion, IL/Edwards County HS), Jack Bensinger (JR, Los Angeles, CA/Campbell Hall), Zach Schneider (SR, Grayslake, IL/Warren Township HS), Mitch Stefani (SO, Aurora, IL/Waubonsie Valley HS), and Jason Gray (SR, St. Louis, MO/Eureka HS) all pitched in the final four innings.
The Panthers would add three runs in the seventh and the Gorloks would add two more runs to their lead in the eighth on a Stoulp sacrifice fly and a Winckel run-scoring single to make it the 12-4 final.
Winckel wound up 2-5, with two RBIs, and Stoulp was 1-4, with two RBIs. Kammer was 1-2, with the home run, and Kojs was 1-2, with a double, RBI, and two runs scored. Webster wound up with 12 hits for the game.
Stoulp was the MVP of the 2014 Tournament, and Chris Jansen (JR, Cicero, IN/Bishop Chatard HS), Hall, Wollnik,and Stoulp were named to the All-Tournament Team.
The Gorloks will learn their NCAA Regional destination and first round opponent on Monday, May 12.


text: Seams #1 Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Spoiler alert: This thread will discuss plot elements and details of the Dunk & Egg stories, the first three of which have been available since 2015 in a volume called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. If you have not read them, you will want to do so before reading posts on this thread. They are wonderful stories and contain many points that connect with the ASOIAF novels. Ashford Meadow = Mad Foreshadow* If this is truly a hint to readers, I would guess that "mad" here is used in the slang sense. Urban dictionary tells us: Most predominantly used in the greater New York area, "mad" is an appropriate replacement for Northern California's "hella" and Boston's "wicked." In the common vernacular, it translates into "a lot" or "extremely." Ashford Meadow is everyone's destination in the first Dunk & Egg story, The Hedge Knight. In other words, the Dunk and Egg stories are filled with clues - a lot of foreshadowing - that can tell us what will happen in the ASOIAF series. I began to realize this when I recently examined Renly's Rainbow Guard. I noticed that there was tremendous overlap between the people and symbols in the Rainbow Guard and in the tourney at Ashford Meadow. I reread The Hedge Knight with the intention of further decoding the Rainbow Guard and found that the story is jam-packed with hints about ASOIAF and larger mysteries readers would like to better understand. The details that have caught my interest go well beyond the colors, birds and fruit that were central to the Rainbow Guard analysis, so I thought I should start a new thread. I may not post things in chronological order here, and I can't promise that there will be a regular rhythm to these observations. In addition to the Tanselle post (below), I can foresee separate posts about pennies, rope, Dunk's "knighting" and his religion, and about helms and elms. (Note: almost all of those topics relate to armor.) Tentatively, I am also pleased to share that the Bracken / Blackwood conflict may be at the core of all conflicts in the contemporary story - isn't it nice to simplify all of these complicated plots by finding that everything in ASOIAF boils down to a battle of two mighty warlocks (Bloodraven and Bittersteel)? Now we can all get on with our lives and set aside all this timesucking forum chit chat. This thread may also lead to greater insights about the connection between oranges and feet. I'm sure there will be many more subjects as we reread the stories with an eye for detail. I welcome thoughtful insights and comments from the good people of this forum. If you don't believe the stories and novels are filled with symbolism, layers of meaning and wordplay, however, I ask you to refrain from commenting, leave now and never darken my door again. You don't have to agree with everything, but straight-up sophomoric rejection of the analysis is a waste of my time and yours. Similarly, if you think it's fresh or clever to criticize comments here by posting something along the lines of, "It's really been too long between books. When is TWoW coming?" then you are neither original nor witty and you probably wore a half-helm in your last tourney and took a blow to the head. Borrowing a threat from Dunk: "... I'll hunt you down, I swear I will. With dogs." "You don't have any dogs," Egg pointed out. ""I'll get some," said Dunk. "Just for you." Except I won't care enough to hunt you down. I will just revile you from afar. *The next story in the Dunk & Egg series involves diversion of a waterway using a dam, so it's possible that GRRM is telling us that the Ashford Meadow setting of The Hedge Knight simply foreshadows The Sworn Sword - "dam" foreshadow instead of "mad" foreshadow. Based on the symbols and allusions already found in the earlier story, I believe that the foreshadowing applies to the larger world of ASOIAF and/or to Westeros history, not just to the upcoming dam.
