Super Sunday is all about payback for Chelsea and Manchester United, says Ed Chamberlin
Ed Chamberlin explains why Super Sunday is all about payback for Chelsea and Manchester United.
Last Updated: 18/01/13 4:12pm
Manchester United did exactly what they have been doing all season and churned out another excellent result, leaving Liverpool to reflect on a second half performance that summed up their season - "nearly".
Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness were both encouraged by what they saw from Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge playing together up front and that offers hope for the future. However, I find it extraordinary that they still haven't beaten a team in the top half of the table so far this season.
That win put United 10 points clear at the top and poured the pressure onto Manchester City at Arsenal; I thought the champions showed tremendous resilience to win at the Emirates.
People will point to Laurent Koscielny's sending off as the key moment in the match but even in the eight minutes when it was 11 against 11, City had put down a marker and looked much the better side.
Sky Bet's Premier League Title odds: 3/10 Man Utd, 10/3 Man City, 12/1 Chelsea, 125/1 bar
Man City have drifted a fraction in Sky Bet's title betting to 10/3 and now need to hang in there with United plus not let the gap at the top grow until they have all their big players back and United return to Champions League action, which might give the champions an edge.
The Emirates is not a particularly happy place at the moment and you could sense the stadium was on edge even before kick-off. The mood and the tension is clearly affecting the players and they may find it easier away from home in the immediate future.
However, I doubt they'd choose a trip to Stamford Bridge where they will feature on another brilliant Super Sunday.
It's a day all about 'payback' on Sunday as Arsenal won this fixture 5-3 last season, with a hat-trick from you know who.
Manchester United will be looking to avenge that rare defeat at Old Trafford against Tottenham earlier this season when strikes from Gareth Bale and Clint Dempsey gave Spurs their first victory over United since May 2001 and their first win in 27 visits to Old Trafford, since December 1989.
Sunday will be the first of four consecutive Premier League games in London for Man Utd, though they are unbeaten in last six visits to the capital (W5 D1) - since the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal in May 2011 - scoring 16 goals in those six games.
We start the show in West London with Chelsea (4/5 to win with Sky Bet) v Arsenal (10/3).
Encouragement for Arsenal comes from having won more Premier League games at Stamford Bridge (seven) than any other side and scored more goals against Chelsea (59) than any other Premier League side. They might also find it easier to play away from the pressures at the Emirates and hope Chelsea struggle again at home.
I went to the Chelsea game last night with Ray Wilkins and you could sense the tension and frustration inside the ground as they struggled to a 2-2 draw against Southampton.
After the show on Sunday I'll be staying up in London as Monday Night Football is back in business.
As always we'll spend much of the first hour looking back on the Premier League weekend and then the live game is Southampton v Everton. I hope you can join Gary Neville and I on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7pm.
Horse racing
Fingers crossed the weather allows Ascot's card to go ahead on Saturday and in particular it lets us all see the brilliant Sprinter Sacre run again. He's 1/6 to win the big race this weekend and it looks a formality so I don't expect to see people flocking to Ascot to see a great contest. They will go to catch a glimpse of a superstar.
It's a shame Sprinter Sacre doesn't have a big rival and we're unlikely to get a clash like we witnessed in this race with Desert Orchid against Panto Prince, which would get the race much more coverage. Sprinter Sacre has a similar problem to Frankel in that the likely procession will have the racing purists drooling but won't feature high on the sports news agenda.
My hope is that Flemenstar, who I think is a monster, fails to stay the three miles in the Irish Hennessy and connections decide to drop him back to the minimum trip. Sprinter Sacre v Flemenstar would be box office.
One clash that looks guaranteed to happen at the Cheltenham Festival is Simonsig against Overturn in the Arkle. This will be brilliant as Simonsig is seen as the class act and is odds on with Skybet but in Overturn he has an opponent who has finished second in a Champion Hurdle, will relish eye-balling him and will attack from the off. I can't wait.
There are still two months to go until the Festival yet plenty of 'hotpots' already. The following are already trading and 4/1 or less with Sky Bet: Jezki (Supreme), Simonsig (Arkle), Bobs Worth (Gold Cup), Dynaste (RSA), Sprinter Sacre (Champion Chase) and Quevega (Mares).
At this stage, betting on the less established stars looks fraught with danger as all the recent form in the book has been on bottomless ground. Jezki for example is a hugely exciting recruit and has looked classy on soft ground in small fields in Ireland.
However, the helter-skelter of a Supreme Novices Hurdle on much quicker ground will be a completely different test. It's also shaping up as a decent renewal with the likes of River Maigue, Melodic Rendezvous, Dodging Bullets and My Tent Or Yours.

Thank you for the reply I am curious, if you or anyone knows (while I search through BF3stats source code) how I could use these API's to display player count via an HTML document for my personal homepage, simply for my curiosity.
APIs are programming interfaces opened by a service.
In this case you would access the BF3 API, and use the GetPlayers (or whatever) method.
You can only do what BF3 chooses to expose through their API, so you're limited by them
You'd be looking for Crysis 3 Server APIs to get info
onlinestats URL: http://api.bf3stats.com/[Platform]/onlinestats/ [Platform] must be global POST parameters: none Return parameters: status can contain ok, nodata or error ok online data is available nodata data is not available error is only returned if status is error with one of following error codes: invalid_platform pc count of online players on PC 360 count of online players on 360 ps3 count of online players on PS3 The data is refreshed every 10 seconds.

Yes I had found the site just had no knowledge on how to use the information provided lol I'll try googling "http post + javascript", any other suggestions?
I take it you've found this already: http://crysis3s.com/api
Well, you can use Javascript to do it.
Personally I do this kind of thing in ASP, so I won't be much help to you here unfortunately.
You're looking for HTTP Post with Javascript
There ought be examples you can use

You're the man/women! I will definitely look at the links and hopefully learn something haha
Javascript is definitely something you'll like. You can do just about anything with it >.<
I'll save you some pain here too. Take a look at jQuery: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

Having looked at options for addressing the costs of solid waste collection in the county for several months, the Board of County Commissioners decided Monday to let the voters decide on a direction.
During a special meeting, commissioners – Commissioner Warren Yeager was absent – approved a referendum on a one cent sales tax to fund mandatory garbage collection in county.
The referendum, commissioners decided, would be held at the next general election in the fall of 2014.
The county, administrator Don Butler said, should enter into discussions immediately with each municipality to determine their course of action.
The cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka would collect a share of the one cent sales tax.
However, whether they followed the county's lead in devoting those funds to rid the county of garbage bills remains to be seen
"It would be nice for the city of Port St. Joe and the city of Wewahitchka to be under the same umbrella as the county," said Commissioner Ward McDaniel.
The hope, Butler said after the meeting, would be for the cities to join the county as waste pickup service contracts expire over the next year which would provide a larger bidding base to aid in bringing overall prices down.
"We definitely should put the contract out for bid whether voters approve (the referendum) or not," said Commissioner Carmen McLemore.
The motion on the referendum came after Butler had laid out the county's options for addressing garbage collection.
Two of those options included moving to mandatory garbage pickup in unincorporated areas.
Butler said three area counties have such ordinances, Calhoun, Liberty and Wakulla.
He noted that Calhoun had a "soft" ordinance in which residents "volunteer" to be on garbage pickup. But by having the ordinance, code enforcement has the ability to step in should garbage become an issue on a property.
In Liberty, some customers are billed monthly and others quarterly while in Wakulla the annual garbage bill was added onto property tax notices.
To add the bill to the property tax Truth in Millage (TRIM) statements would require the county to complete a "Solid Waste Assessment Study" to determine who would or would not be excluded and what rates would be paid.
That study must be completed, at a cost of over $43,000, by the Dec. 31 for the county to levy the bill on TRIM notices next year.
Another con in that scenario, Butler noted, is that the garbage bill in some cases might be higher than the property tax bill.
There are 2,512 customers with garbage service in unincorporated Gulf County.
There are some 2,500-4,000 county residents who do not have garbage service.
The primary challenge for the county budget committee, which has been wrestling with the issue of a landfill that loses money and the lack of mandatory garbage pickup, was to make the collection of garbage more "efficient," Butler said.
In addition, the goal in bargaining for a new contract supported with a one-cent sales tax would be to eliminate or greatly reduce the county's costs for yard debris and roadside garbage pickup.
Excess revenue from the sales tax could be devoted to the landfill, Butler said.
"The only real savings to the county is to get out of the roadside pickup," said deputy administrator Michael Hammond. "We've got to get out of the roadside pickup business."
Hammond noted that inmate crews and the county limb truck bring that debris to the landfill, which does not receive tipping fees for the material.
Further, the county expense in fuel and wear-and-tear on the limb vehicle would be reduced.
McDaniel agreed that the county needs to get out of the roadside pickup business, saying limb removal had become almost "an entitlement" to county residents.
McLemore expressed dissent on any move to mandatory garbage pickup, saying it would create a hardship for many residents in his district scraping by financially.
"(Mandatory garbage pickup) is something I will not support," McLemore said. "I do like the idea of a one cent sales tax. That might work for the county and the people I represent.
"Let the people decide. I think that's the only way to go."
McDaniel said while he disagreed with additional taxes, he was not in favor of strict mandatory garbage pickup as a windfall for whatever vendor the county had and said the one-cent sales tax would spread the cost around to visitor and resident alike.
"Mandatory garbage pickup makes sense for everybody," said South Gulf County resident Pat Hardman, president of the Coastal Community Association. "Whoever makes the problem should bear a cost for pickup. If we go to mandatory it is fair."
Commissioner Joanna Bryan dissented on the referendum because it put any decision on addressing the costs to the county off another 16 months at minimum.
"It pushes the issue down the road," Bryan said.
She also said the impact of another penny to the sales tax could be difficult for small businesses struggling with sales to absorb and also emphasized the need to bid out garbage service when the current contract expires early next year to bring prices down.
"I would like to see better prices," Bryan said. "I'd like to see if this went out for bid what the cost will be. That would be information we would need."

I've recently been reading A Hat Full of Sky and a lot is made in there about the typical witch hat.
Now we all know what a witches' hat looks like - we've grown up hearing stories about witches and many of them have the pointy hats we associate with them.
The question is - where does this type of hat come from? Is it based on something else or did witches really wear hats like this?
Given the way witches have been treated over the years (on this world) one would imagine that they wouldn't want to advertise the fact. But again and again in popular culture, witches are depicted wearing the pointy hat.
Any ideas about the origin of these hats?

Benghazi Was Neither a Terrorist Attack Nor an Act of Terror
I am hereby declaring 99 Pinocchios on Barack Obama, all the people who work for him, everyone in the Republican party, and most everyone in the press who has reported on Benghazi.
This is about what has to be one of the most inane disagreements in the history of American politics, the argument about whether Obama called the Benghazi attack an "act of terror" or a "terrorist attack." Incredibly, people are still bickering over this. The other day Darrell Issa expressed his outrage that Obama had, in his diabolical attempt to cover up the incident, used the phrase "act of terror," which, let's be honest, is almost like saying, "Way to go, al Qaeda!", instead of using the far, far, far more condemnatory phrase "terrorist attack." It's like the difference between saying "steaming pile of bullshit" when you ought to say "steaming bullshit pile"—anyone who can't tell the difference between the two obviously can't be trusted to run the country. Then the ordinarily reasonable Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post's fact-checker, sternly judged Obama to be guilty of a Four Pinnochio whopper, because at his last press conference he said, "The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism," when in fact he didn't say "act of terrorism but just "act of terror." Facts? Checked.
But here's what nobody seems to get: Benghazi was not a terrorist act. Or an act of terror. Or an act of terrorism.
Before my Republican friends start getting red in the face, that doesn't mean it wasn't awful. Many awful things are not terrorism. Pearl Harbor wasn't terrorism. Jeffrey Dahmer's murders weren't terrorism. Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill wasn't terrorism. Terrorism is something quite specific: the intentional killing of civilians in order to achieve a political end. It's the "civilian" part that makes it terrorism and not something else. Perhaps some conservatives think that any violent action committed by Muslims is terrorism, but it isn't.
As it happens, there's a nice succinct definition of terrorism in U.S. law, section 2656f(d) of Title 22 of the United States Code, which reads, "the term 'terrorism' means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents."
So why wasn't Benghazi terrorism? Because the people targeted weren't civilians. As The Wall Street Journal has reported, "The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to officials briefed on the intelligence. Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said." CIA officials are not civilians. That doesn't make their deaths any less tragic or painful for their families, but it's the truth. Nor is a CIA outpost a civilian target.
Of all the things you could say about Benghazi, why is this the one Republicans are so obsessed with? My guess is because they have so little else to work with. But they're being abetted by the Obama administration, which continues to play this game, because they've bought into the idea that if you call an attack "terrorism," that means you're really mad about it and you'll be tough and strong in your response, while if you call it something else you're not very mad and you'll be all wimpy about it.
So everybody gets Pinocchios. Can we move on now?

As a conservative, I subscribed to Mother Jones and this publication at the beginning of the year to be informed of what was being said all across the political spectrum. I generally appreciate and respect what I have read in Mother Jones, which seems to be committed to careful reporting. This article, on the other hand, is a squeal of panic from someone who feels reality closing in and is desperate to evade it, as the Left so often is.
Can Waldman be one of the few in America above the fifth grade who does not realize that the CIA are civilians? Yes, I too am reading "The Way of the Knife: The CIA, A Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth." Waldman has apparently read it and concluded that every CIA employee is really a soldier who is just being sneaky and not wearing a uniform. No, that doesn't follow.
If a terrorist organization attacks a card game, takes everyone's money, and goes out and spends it on nothing but booze and drugs, that is a crime. If they attack the same gathering, that may happen to include both policemen and civilians, and kill everyone in the name of a political cause, that is terrorism, a fact immediately obvious to everyone but Waldman. Waldman seems to think he is being very clever, the highest virtue to which many on the Left are capable of aspiring, but in fact, he is being desperately and pathetically lame.
The Right has a great deal to answer for, needless to say. Our egregiously stupid foray into Iraq cost lives in an amount that make Benghazi a drop in the bucket. No argument there. But Benghazi is a known incident where government employees knew a threat in advance, asked for additional protection, were refused, and then were either killed, as was to be expected, or lived to see their masters deny what had happened. Facts, as John Adams said, are stubborn things, and no amount of weaseling by Carney, stonewalling by Obama, or brazen insolence by the Hillz can change that. Sorry.
Fri, 2013-05-17 12:39
Seems to me that to argue that Waldman was seriously off base because he didn't include CIA in the category of "civilian" is an inappropriately petty complaint.
Most of us, when asked to think of the meaning of "civilian" think non-combatant, ordinary folks living ordinary lives and who do not threaten those by whom they are attacked. We also tend to think of women, children, and elders, as well as healthy young to middle-aged males. My guess is that most of those CIA operatives are males in their 20s-40s, obviously including ex-military. The two CIA contractors killed were ex-Seals, were they not?) Moreover, foreigners, particularly those suspicious of U.S. power, are inclined to think of the CIA as perhaps even more threatening than U.S. military because they are impervious to civilian control and specifically authorized to utilize dirty tricks. They are certainly NOT "non-combatants."
At any rate, in my humble opinion, Michael's definitional quibble is a red herring.
The argument about whether the attack was "in the name of a political cause" is more worth contemplating. HOWEVER, there's a fallacy in relying on that argument to dispute Walkman's analysis. The "civilian" and "political cause" criteria are BOTH required to call something "terrorism, " in Waldman's argument. If ONE is missing, then the word "terrorism" is not appropriate, he asserts. Now, is that true? What if something meets the "political" test, but not the "civilian" test -- what do you call THAT? Rebellion? Perceived patriotism?
What if foreign agents were set up in this country and a group of organized Tea Partiers attacked them because they perceived them as occupiers or as oppressors? Would we call that terrorism, or a battle in an inchoate but developing patriotic war?
Really, Michael, you raise an interesting issue, but I don't think you went far enough in questioning yourself. (I probably didn't either, but I'm not confidently claiming superiority here, as I think you are.)
BTW, Chris Stevens REJECTED two offers from the military for a good-sized military protective unit. Why? Perhaps because the CIA was operating covertly and didn't want military around to call attention to them. Perhaps because Stevens felt he couldn't operated effectively with such an obvious military presence, especially when the large CIA contingent was so visible. Perhaps for any number of reasons that neither you nor I can imagine because of our relative lack of experience in the field.
At any rate, please don't make dubious assertions when you've ignored important facts that inconveniently fail to support such assertions. A little humility improves the quality of analysis.
Fri, 2013-05-17 13:51
Actually, patriot451, Ambassador Stevens was constrained from taking up the offer of military security from General Ham (twice) for another good reason: The Tripoli embassy and the American military would have to petition the Libyan government, in shambles as it was at the time, to get permission to put American soldiers in place for protection, which could take months. That was an additional caveat to the one you pointed out, that the CIA was operating covertly.
This isn't directed to you, patriot451, but I have to say it: So many right-wingers who keep suggesting "why not more Marines?" seem to be ignorant of the primary function of a Marine presence at our embassies. They're responsible for the integrity and preservation (or destruction) of intelligence data, not protecting the diplomats and functionaries. I don't understand why RWers keep getting that wrong (could it be that their sources are bad?).

"If we're going to argue about language, at least we should understand what the words we're arguing about mean."
True. The problem with quoting 2656f(d) of Title 22 is that it is only one of many definitions of "terrorism" under federal law. There is no one, definitive, meaning of "terrorism," under federal law or otherwise. Section 2656f(d) is the provision that defines "terrorism" for the purposes of what the State Department should focus on in its annual report to Congress; it is not "the" legal definition of terrorism.
For example, section 2331(1) of Title 18 defines "international terrorism" as violent acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States (or would be if committed here), and which appear intended to intimidate or coerce a government (among other things). Under that definition, the Benghazi attack seems to qualify as "international terrorism." And there are other definitions for other purposes.
Many definitions of terrorism do require, as stated above, that the targets be civilians. But not all do. The key point is that the meaning of the word "terrorism" is disputed, and federal law does not resolve the dispute.
Fri, 2013-05-17 12:48
Good point.
However, I would suggest that, despite what the GOVERNMENT defines as terrorism, we, as citizens, have a perfect right to question such definition, particularly in cases where distinctions in terminology lead to vastly different ways of viewing government actions.
I think Walkman is correct to raise the question of how many negative repercussions stem from using the word "terrorim" too broadly. ESPECIALLY when the government, under both GWB and Obama, is all too willing to dispense with civil liberties, weaken the Rule of Law, and shred the Constitution whenever an emotionally loaded term like "terrorism" can be used to justify such actions.
Thu, 2013-05-16 14:56
Argue if you will whether or not this is an act of terror or not. (what difference does it make now! :-) ) A better plan would be to try to convince readers that this was a spontaneous response to a video. THAT was the story continually repeated by the administration. Simple question: was that story true or not?
Fri, 2013-05-17 12:54
No, as it turns out.....but there was surely plenty of reason to think so in the initial hours. Remember, there was NO video that could be seen in D.C. and our wonderful CIA, so expert in clandestine operations, wasn't on the scene at the compound where Chris Stevens died.
Admit it. Isn't the video a plausible explanation, in the absence of contradictory facts? Might there not be good CIA-type reasons for asserting that and NOT offering contradictory information, at least initially?
Why do right-wingers always think they KNOW all the answer right off the bat. Doesn't a responsible thinker identify missing information and significant questions BEFORE asserting that he/she has all the answers?
Why all the intellectual arrogance? (I'd suggest one explanation: a need to hurt Obama, hurt anyone who agrees with Obama, hurt the government, increase right-wing power, a need that overrides any sense of responsible citizenship.)
Fri, 2013-05-17 14:11
Concur completely with your assertion: "Doesn't a responsible thinker identify missing information and significant questions BEFORE asserting that he/she has all the answers?" Given that, do you think that premise was violated by jumping to the "video did it" conclusion without any basis in fact?
Thu, 2013-05-16 23:39
At what point are the Obamabots going to stop being so damn juvenile? If you listen to the speech he made it is obvious that the context in which he said "act of terror"was a broad and general use, not a specific statement about Benghazi. This is just common sense stuff. The bigger question I have for the President is, if this was an act of terror as you say, why did you continue to push the youtube video for 3 weeks? Anyone who cant see past the fact that this was all about the election and pushing politics is brainwashed beyond hope.
Fri, 2013-05-17 20:41
So what?
I'm sorry, but I don't see what the core issue here is.
I do see what the primary motivation here is. Republicans have been trying so, so hard to create a negative aura around the President. So we get a barrage of unconnected, illogical questions that don't actually lead to anything.
The fact remains that, if you look at all the actions that Obama has done to keep Americans safe, and compare them to all the actions that Bush did to keep Americans safe, Obama has done a much, much better job. Has it been perfect? No. But it's the height of hypocrisy to try to nail Obama for being President when one attack happened while insisting the Bush must be forgiven for ten times as many attacks.
But that's what today's Republican party is about.
Fri, 2013-05-17 12:58
If you had never heard any other government official hedging his bets in a fluid and serious situation, your comment might be a valid criticism.
If you HAVE heard such actions many times, and particularly from Republicans (as well as Dems), then you're just dishonestly playing "gotcha."
I'm sorry, but you're not being fair......and if your motives are positive and you THINK you're being fair....then I suggest that you're being foolish.
Fri, 2013-05-17 13:19
I'm truly surprised at the controversy over Benghazi is continuing to piss me off! When G.W. Bush was in office we've had 12 US Embassy attacked, costing nearly 53 American lives yet, NOT once had anyone disputed this? WTF! Furthermore, wasn't Darrel Issa one of those conservatives asked for budget cuts for the US Embassy security? This is further bullshit that's wasting tax payers money over what? The lost of 4 lives! It happened, we have to live with it, what about the cost of 53 American lives during G.W. Bush era? Has anyone made reference to cost there? Come on folks, lets move on and give all those Americans what they deserve, put it to rest and compensate the families.

As for where Hillary Clinton was "that night", so far no RWNJs have disproved her testimony before a Senate investigative committee January 22, 2013:
Clinton testified that on the day of the attack, before it happened, she had been at the State Department dealing with a different crisis that evolved from protests to a YouTube video that disparaged Mohammed.
"During most of the day, prior to getting notice of the attack on our compound in Benghazi, we were very focused on the situation around our embassy in Cairo," Clinton said. "There were attempts to scale the wall, and we were in close contact with our counterparts in Cairo."
When the attack in Benghazi happened, about 4 p.m. Washington time, she called Libyan security officials "to get assistance as quickly as possible."
More details in the Wikipedia summary of Benghazi 9/11/12:
Diplomatic Security Service agents/Regional Security Officers informed their headquarters in Washington about the attack just as it was beginning at about 9:40 local time (3:40PM Eastern Time). By 4:30 Eastern (10:30 local time), Pentagon officials informed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta about the attack. The Pentagon ordered an unmanned aerial vehicle that was in the air conducting surveillance on militant camps to fly over Benghazi. The drone arrived at 5:11 (11:11 local time) and began providing a video feed to Washington. At 5:41 (11:41 local time), Secretary of State Hillary Clinton telephoned CIA Director David Petraeus to coordinate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack ("Reaction in the United States")
I have a question for YOU. Why aren't you curious enough to get these easily searched-out facts yourself? Or do you just like to scatter troll questions all over the internet?
Fri, 2013-05-17 20:36
The thing about the Benghazibots is that they've been asking the same questions, over and over, for 8 months, and they still don't know the answers.
They don't know the answers because they don't care about the answers. When they hear an answer, it upsets them, so the brain freezes it out. And then they come back the next day, asking the same questions that have already been answered.
I have to think that these people are (at least) one of the following
a) utterly stupid
b) deranged
c) paid to be obtuse
Fri, 2013-05-17 17:39
This whole article is stupid. Let me see if I can straighten this out...
The attackers were Al Qaida. Al Qaida are terrorists. It is a terrorist attack.
Now, Mr. Waldman's attempt at Ass Covering for the Obama Machine does take a new tack. Quibbling over semantics. Bravo, nerd. Let me try this... The attack on the USS Cole was against a Naval ship. All navy. Still a terrorist attack. Why? Because the attackers were and are terrorists.
Seriously, this article is merely the latest in the Lefty Media's attempt at a giant, "Nothing to see here. Move along." It will not work. There is entirely too much happening right now, and all of it bad for the Obama presidency.
Fri, 2013-05-17 20:31
Sorry, FastEddie, but definitions don't work that way.
"The attackers were Al Qaida". Well, since any militant is called that these days, I won't quibble so much.
"Al Qaida are terrorists." So far so good.
"It is a terrorist attack." Again, no, it doesn't work that way.
You would have us work in a world of circular definitions. You say that the attack was terrorism since it was by Al Qaeda. But we call Al Qaeda terrorists because they perform acts of terrorism.
OK, now let's get to how definitions actually work. The definition of "terrorist" is "person who performs acts of terrorism". With that being the case, you cannot argue that something must be an act of terrorism because terrorists did it. You cannot have each definition depend on the other.
So, you have to look at the act directly and decide if that act is an act of terrorism. After all, if Al Qaeda order a pizza, that doesn't mean that ordering a pizza is an act of terrorism. So, the question is then whether this attack targeted civilians or not.
Are CIA employees "civilians"? Given how many people working for the CIA are engaged in paramilitary actions, I can see why they don't quite qualify for the description of "civilian".
Sat, 2013-05-18 13:59
Wrong, wrong, wrong. The biggest Pinocchio goes to writer Paul Waldman.
President Obama did not say, 'Act' of terror, rather 'Acts" of terror. Watch the video.
It makes a big difference when put in context of his speech. By saying 'Act' of terror he can later finesse his statement into possibly being about Benghazi. 'Acts' makes it more clear he was referring to other terrorism attacks over the past years.
"...when in fact he didn't say "act of terrorism but just "act of terror." Facts? Checked." -- Paul Walman.
Checked? It doesn't appear so.
Mon, 2013-05-20 00:24
I am aware that BO was in the white house at the time. In the large sense, rather than the geographical, what did the president do during that evening to get help to the people in bengazi and secure our diplomatic facility? Who did he speak with. We know he did not speak with the SecState after the initial notice of the crisis, he did not speak with the SecDef, or the Joint Chiefs, or chairman of the joint chiefs, after he directed the military to deploy forces at 4:00. Yet none were deployed. Why not? When did he change his mind? It is inconceivable that anyone countermanded the order of the Cmdr in Chief. So what happened to the force deployment and why did it take three weeks before we were again in control of the compound? No answers to these questions on Wiki. Or maybe we don't need to know the answers and I am just a troll? is that it?
Tue, 2013-05-21 00:02
Only an Obama democrat would not know what terrorism means-
1994, the United Nations General Assembly has condemned terrorist acts using the following political description of terrorism: "Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.
Just like the description of a democrat is an ass you moron=term for a person with a mental age between 8 and 12, and a common insult for a person considered stupid!

DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 6, 5:00 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Kibbie Dome (16,000) -- Moscow, Idaho.
Television: KTRV, Altitude. Home Record: NMSU 1-2, Idaho 0-2. Away Record:
NMSU 0-2, Idaho 0-3. Neutral Record: NMSU 0-0, Idaho 0-0. Conference Record:
NMSU 0-1, Idaho 0-1. Series Record: Idaho leads, 13-5.
GAME NOTES: A pair of Western Athletic Conference cellar-dwellars square off
at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow on Saturday, as the Idaho Vandals play host to
the New Mexico State Aggies.
Since winning its opener against Sacramento State (49-19), NMSU has dropped
four games in a row, including last week in its WAC opener at home against FBS
newcomer Texas-San Antonio, 35-14. The Aggies are now losers of 10 of their
last 12 games dating back to the 2011 campaign.
Idaho is the lone team in the WAC that sits behind NMSU in the standings as it
remains winless in five tries. The Vandals' low point came last Saturday when
they were shut out by North Carolina, 66-0. They will try for their first win
since defeating San Jose State on Nov. 5, 2011.
In the all-time series between these two teams, Idaho has a 13-5 advantage,
although NMSU won last year's matchup at home. 31-24. Ten of the 18 games have
been decided by a touchdown or less.
The NMSU offense (25.8 ppg) has been below average on the season, especially
on the ground (87.2 ypg).
Germi Morrison leads a lackluster rushing attack with 197 yards on 40 carries,
while Tiger Powell (46 carries, 129 yards) gets most of the work around the
goal line, punching in four touchdowns.
Quarterback Andrew Manley has piled up plenty of yardage, (1,321 yards, 10
TDs), but he hasn't been very efficient with his work, completing fewer than
54 percent of his passes while tossing four interceptions. He has also been
sacked 19 times for a combined loss of 83 yards.
Austin Franklin is the best playmaker on offense, as he has already racked up
627 receiving yards -- third most in the country. He also leads the team with
33 catches and seven touchdowns. Kemonte' Bateman benefits from opposing
defenses keying on Franklin, piling up 329 yards on 25 catches himself.
While the offense has been disappointing, the Aggies' defense has been
downright terrible, surrendering nearly 35 ppg and more than 450 ypg. The unit
has registered just five sacks and five takeaways in five games.
Davis Cazares (48 tackles) and Trashaun Nixon (43 tackles, four TFL) are among
the WAC leaders in total stops.
While NMSU has had its share of struggles, very few offenses have been worse
than Idaho's this season (13.4 ppg, 312.2 ypg), and the team is coming off its
worst performance of the year in a 189-yard, zero-point effort against UNC.
Dominique Blackman has looked impressive at times under center, completing
nearly 69 percent of his passes for 961 yards and six touchdowns, but his
Achilles' heel has been turnovers as he has already thrown nine interceptions.
Najee Lovett, Jahrie Level and Mike Scott have been an effective trio of
receivers, with each hauling in at least 21 balls and at least 222 yards,
although Lovett is the only player with a pair of touchdown catches.
The Vandals are also underwhelming in the running game, averaging just 3.1
yards per carry as a team. Ryan Bass (230 yards) and James Baker (158 yards)
garner the most work, but neither has scored a touchdown to this point.
Idaho's defense has not been able to stop anyone, giving up 42 ppg while
allowing its opponents 29 trips to the red zone.
Gary Walker has a team-leading 38 tackles and returned an interception 94
yards for a touchdown earlier this season. Solomon Dixon has a pair of picks,
and Benson Mayowa and Quayshawne Buckley have recorded three sacks apiece.
In a battle between two under-performing teams, this matchup is sure to be
ugly with a lot of mistakes dictating the pace of the game. On paper, NMSU
appears to have stronger playmakers, but with only three home games remaining
on their schedule, the Vandals are desperate for a win. If Idaho doesn't win
this one, they could be shut out the rest of the way.

YOUNGSTOWN— Bullets will be buzzing near Youngstown this weekend as Bay County starts the test phase of its public gun range.
The Campflowers Gun Range will be open for shooters from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The first half of each day (8 a.m. to noon) is for 10-yard pistol shooting; the second half (noon to 4 p.m.) is for 100-yard rifle shooting.
County Commissioner Guy Tunnell said the range has been a "labor of love" and he's worked hard to make it a reality. He said the news is full of reports about record firearm sales, so the range gives the public a safe place to practice with their guns.
"It's harder and harder for the public to have access to a public area where they can fire weapons," he said, adding, "I think it's very timely. I hope the response will be good. I think it will."
Shooters must bring their own targets, but target frames and backings will be provided. Shotguns and automatic weapons are prohibited.
The county has partnered with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) for these open shooting days — at no cost to the county. FWC will provide a range safety officer to oversee the weekend events. The officer also will collect the $10-per-adult fee for use of the range. Minors under 16 are free, but they must be accompanied by an adult.
Public clamoring
The public gun range has been something the community long has clamored for, but the county and FWC are taking a wait-and-see approach to judge how well it is used.
"We get a lot of calls — both the county and the FWC get calls — on a regular basis (from) folks looking for a safe place to shoot, particularly their rifles, and hopefully we can provide that here," said George Warthen, who coordinates public shooting ranges for the FWC.
Warthen said public shooting ranges in the Panhandle usually see 50 to 100 shooters for these weekend events.
This weekend kicks off the open shooting days, and the range will be open several more times during the next few months: May 18 and 19; June 8 and 9; and July 13 and 14.
The initial dates are designed to gauge public interest to see if the venture is worth pursuing. If it is, the county likely will build its own shooting range on a separate piece of property.
The Campflowers range, although on county property, is used by the Bay County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen "was open to us using this to establish something to determine the public's interest," said Jamie Jones, county general services director.
Tunnell said he didn't want to see a lot of effort or money committed to a gun range until he was sure it would be used.
"I hope the numbers will justify us making the next step," he said.
The county is looking at putting the new range at the Steelfield Landfill, which already has several natural berms, Tunnell said. Most of the work to build the range could be done in-house, and FWC would do the design work, he said. Grants likely would be available to fund it.
Tunnell did not say how much county money he would feel comfortable being spent on such a range; he said he is more focused on the here and now.
"For me the whole thing hinges on what kind of response we get in the next couple of months," he said.
The gun range is at the BCSO Wilderness Camp, 8428 S. Campflowers Road in Youngstown.
If you go
What: Public gun range
When: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; May 18-19; June 8-9; and July 13-14.
Where: BCSO Wilderness Camp, 8428 S. Campflowers Road, Youngstown
Cost: $10 per adult; minors under 16 are free but must be accompanied by an adult.

|Baker's Best Cinnamon Bubka With Crumb Topping
An Original Recipe by Marcy Goldman, BetterBaking.Com
Bubka is pure heaven – because it strikes just the right note of sweetness – being neither pastry nor bread. It is relatively easy to make – not as complicated as true Danish with its rolled in blocks of butter but certainly richer and more moist than an average sweet dough. With so few bakeries outside of big cities making real bubka anymore, making your own is a noble thing. Freeze the extra one and bake on another day or make one huge one. This cinnamon bubka is a lovely bread for a weekend of casual friends and drop-by guests. Use your mixer or bread machine to make the dough. A cinnamon schmear, by the way, which is the filling, is a sweet goo of cinnamon, corn syrup and ground nuts.
Cinnamon Schmear Filling:
Egg wash or l beaten egg
Crumb Topping:
For dough, in the mixing bowl of a mixer, hand whisk together water and yeast. Let stand about a minute to allow yeast to dissolve. Stir in one cup of the flour called for, then the warm milk, the eggs, vanilla, almond extract, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Fold in softened butter and most of the remaining flour, holding back some until you see if you need all over it (or may have to add a bit). Mix the dough and then, with dough hook, knead on slow speed 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Remove the dough hook from the mixer, spray the dough with non-stick cooking spray and cover the entire mixer (bowl, machine and all) with a large plastic bag.
Allow to rise until puffy, about 45-90 minutes.
For the Cinnamon Schmear Filling: In a food processor, process the butter, sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon and walnuts to make a loose paste.
For the Crumb Topping: Cut butter, confectioners' sugar and flour together to make a crumbly topping.
Divide the dough in two equal parts. Cover with a tea towel and let rest ten minutes. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or generously grease two 9 inch springform or layer cake pans. If making one large bubka, generously butter a 10 inch tube pan. Have ready, a large baking sheet topped with a sheet of parchment paper.
On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a 16 by 16 inch square. Arrange or spread on filling of choice (variations below) all over dough surface. Roll up dough into a large jellyroll. Cut in half. Place both halves in prepared pan, beside each other - it doesn't matter if they are a little squished. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with some sugar. Place the pans on the baking sheet and cover the entire sheet with a large plastic bag. Let rise until bubka is flush or over top of pan.
Repeat with other half of dough, using a different filling or additional cinnamon filling, if desired.
To use all of dough in one large bubka, procedure is the same but you will be using all of dough at once. Roll dough out into a 20 inch square (instead of 16 by 16) and proceed as above. A large bubka is especially dramatic but two smaller ones give you two flavor and assembly options.
Brush the bubkas with the egg wash then sprinkle with Crumb Topping.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake 35-45 minutes (50-70 minutes for one large bubka) until bubka is medium brown. Cool pan fifteen minutes before removing to a rack or serving plate.
Yield: Makes one large or two medium bubkas
(To freeze one, let it rise about 10-20% then freeze on a baking sheet for an hour. Then wrap well. To bake, cover in plastic lightly and let defrost in fridge overnight. Let sit an hour on the counter or so, then bake.)

Real World Test
OK, we've been talking theoretically about books and kits. Now, here is a real world example.
As you can see from this list, the parts used in my Endangered Species robots are all very common parts--it's all a problem of quantities. In fact, I first designed all of these robots for the 2.0 kit, but modified them so teachers and FLL leaders could use them.
Does a parts list like this make no one happy...everyone happy...?
6 comments:
- Jim Kelly said...
I love this - they layout is clean and easy to tell at a glance what kinds of parts are required.
What would be nice is if we could come up with some sort of standard for describing a quantity of parts relative to a kit... for example, let's say you're robot uses a fictional Beam 25...
Would it be useful (or not) to have a diagram like the one you show here described as follows:
Beam 25 (6) [0, -3, +1]
What this means is that for the robot in question, you need 6 and, after using those 6, you'll have none left with a 1.0 kit (0), you will lack 3 with a 2.0 kit (-3) and you'll have one left over with the Education kit +1)
Just a thought... but I think it would make it easier for a quick glance to tell you if you lack a LOT of parts (a lot of minuses) or will have a lot of spares (lot of pluses)

There might be a quick hack to get this done: if you create a new user profile on Peeron and add only the NXT 1 kit (for example) you can check any LDraw file you like against your inventory and it will tell you what you have, what you don't and which parts you have in the wrong colours.
- Nov 21, 2009, 1:15:00 AM
- LEGOmom said...
I like that idea you just posted re: Beam 25 (6) [0, -3, +1]
Looks great Fay! BTW and OT (sort of) While I was drooling over NXT2.0 BIs and lamenting we didn't have one, you should have heard me scream when my son, when looking at your Spitting Llama, said, "Oh we have that zamor shooter. It was in my XXX LEGO kit." We sat down and built Spitting Llama that day.
- Nov 21, 2009, 2:49:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Thanks - glad you like it.
If you think about it, if you have a list like the one below, you just add up the column that belongs to your kit... if you have a positive total, it means you have less parts to hunt down... a negative number means you've got to buy more parts than you may like:
Beam 25 (6) [0, -3, +3]
Beam 1 (8) [+2, -2, 0]
Flux C (1) [-1, 0, -1]
Sonic S (1) [-1, -1, -1
Total [ 0, -6, +1]
Owners of 2.0 kits will have a larger number of parts to purchase... 1.0 and Ed not so much
- Nov 21, 2009, 2:56:00 AM
- Fay Rhodes said...
This is another other factor we haven't addressed. Many of you have parts from TECHNIC, BIONICLE, and other LEGO sets that can supplement your NXT set.
- Nov 21, 2009, 2:57:00 AM
- LEGOmom said...
Fay - yep! Actually, I plan to print a list of NXT2.0 parts not found in 1.0, and scrounge in all of our numerous LEGO bins and put together my own accessory kit and add it to my Education Resource kit which goes with each NXT1.0. They do not intermix with other LEGOs so that when we're ready to build, all the pieces are there and sorted in tackle boxes. DS has informed me we have TWO zamor shooters so that covers that. We have track type wheels from the LEGO bulldozer - the big one everyone Roboticized but I"m sure how those differ from NXT2.0.

Cumbrian mum draws on her own tragedy to help others
Last updated at 20:12, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A Workington woman who has been "to hell and back" after losing two children is to hold a charity day for a cause close to her heart.
Angela Nicholson, 44, of Church Road, Harrington, will hold the event at the Lifeboat Inn, Harrington, in memory of her daughter Beth Shirley who was born stillborn in 1998.
It will raise money for the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society, a national charity which provides support for bereaved parents and their families.
Mrs Nicholson, who at the time was living in Bury, Lancashire, was nine months pregnant and out shopping with her husband Stephen, known as Nick, when her waters broke.
She was rushed to hospital in Bury where she was in labour for two days.
After discovering that her placenta had collapsed, doctors took her into theatre for an emergency caesarian and the baby was born dead.
She was in intensive care for 24 hours after the ordeal.
Mrs Nicholson, who was born in Maryport, also lost her 14-year-old daughter Roxanne, known as Rocky, in 2000 after she was hit by a car on the M66, near Manchester, when she and a friend attempted to cross the motorway.
She said: "I've been to hell and back since all this happened, and at times I've just wanted to curl up in a ball and die.
"I've suffered mentally and emotionally.
"I'm no longer working and I have a care worker who visits me once a week.
"Some days when I wake up it's just like it was yesterday. I had a hysterectomy recently because having periods were a constant reminder."
She added: "I have a high pain threshold but when I was losing the baby I was screaming in pain and when the ordeal was over one of the doctors turned around and said to me 'Sorry we couldn't save your baby but she drowned in your own blood'. That's something that has stayed with me forever."
Mr Nicholson said: "The doctors wouldn't believe that her waters had broken and we kept saying that she needed a caesarian. They left her too long and the baby was born dead. She was lucky to survive it herself.
"Both events have affected the family greatly, including my son Ben who grew up with Roxanne."
After the death of Roxanne, Mr and Mrs Nicholson moved to Workington in 2001.
They hope that the charity day, which will be held on May 6, will give women who have suffered miscarriages or cot deaths the opportunity to go along and socialise.
Mrs Nicholson added: "I want to give something back to the charity because they really helped me when I lost Beth.
"It will also be a good opportunity for others who have lost a baby to come and talk to others who understand what they are going through.
"My mum and dad lost a three-month-old baby called William to cot death on Boxing Day in 1968 so it will give my dad the opportunity to remember him as well."
The charity day will start at noon and will include a balloon race for children, a performance from Salterbeck band Element, a 12-hour darts match, a 12-hour pool match, karaoke, D & L Disco of Frostoms and a raffle.

The renovation of Wilson College's John Stewart Memorial Library has received a boost, thanks to a gift of up to $3.6 million from Marguerite Lenfest of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.
DATE: March 4, 2013

Phone: 717-262-2604
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — The renovation of Wilson College's John Stewart Memorial Library has received a boost, thanks to a gift of up to $3.6 million from Marguerite Lenfest of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.
Wilson College President Barbara K. Mistick announced the gift with its matching elements at a meeting of the college's board of trustees at its meeting in late February.
"This gift is significant because libraries are the heart of a college and representative of quality academics," Mistick said. "We are excited about the plans for a progressive, modern library with a learning commons that will become the center of our academic community."
The college has embarked on a $12 million fundraising effort to repair and restore the original 1923 library building, while razing a 1961 addition and replacing it with a learning commons equipped to meet the changing needs of today's educators and students. Prior to the Lenfest gift, Wilson had raised $2.4 million for the project.
"I am excited about the transformation recently put in motion at Wilson College," said Marguerite Lenfest, a 1955 graduate of Wilson. "I am proud to be able to demonstrate my support and to help address the college's most urgent need—the renovation of the John Stewart Memorial Library into a learning commons for the 21st century. It is my hope that this gift shows the strength of my commitment to Wilson today and inspires others to support the library project, which is essential to the academic core of the college and of great importance to both current and prospective students."
Originally founded as a women's college in 1869, Wilson College is taking a number of bold steps to transform itself into a thriving liberal arts institution, including adding programs, improving infrastructure and expanding coeducation. An updated library will be an important component of Wilson's revitalization.
"We are deeply grateful to Marguerite for her generous support," said Mistick. "I cannot overstate how important the library project is because of its effect on the academic experience of our students, as well as its positive impact on our efforts to attract and retain students."
Marguerite and her husband, Gerry, are longtime supporters of Wilson College. During Wilson's "Leading with Confidence" capital campaign, they pledged a total of $20 million toward the college's endowment.
Over the years, the Lenfests have supported Wilson's annual fund and generously contributed to the college's unrestricted endowment, student scholarships, faculty development, the Women with Children program and facilities renovations. Through their generosity, Lenfest Commons was created as a student gathering and study space at the center of campus.
Marguerite Lenfest served as a member of the Wilson board of trustees for many years. She chaired the trustee committee on academic affairs and was awarded an honorary degree in 2004.
For more information, contact Wilson College Manager of Media Relations Cathy Mentzer at 717-262-2604 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Founded in 1869, Wilson College is a liberal arts college offering bachelor's degrees in 30 majors and master's degrees in education and the humanities. Wilson has been named a "Best Value" college in its region for 11 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" for providing quality academics at an affordable price. The college has been ranked one of the best regional colleges for undergraduate education for nine straight years by U.S. News.
Located in Chambersburg, Pa., the college had a fall 2012 enrollment of 695, which included 17 students from 9 foreign countries. Visit www.wilson.edu for more information.
