"If Guy Carbonneau
cant stop them, hell die trying."
Jennifer Floyd, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Another figure from Carbos past appeared in the final round of the 2000 Stanley Cup Playoffs: New Jersey Devils coach Larry Robinson. The two were teammates in Montreal and won a Cup together in 1986. The elder Robinson retired some time ago, but not before achieving some longevity of his ownhe was currently in third place for career playoff games played, with 227 games.
The night of Game 4, there was only one man in Reunion Arena with more experience at playoff competition than Robinson. It was Guy Carbonneaus 229th playoff game.
This was a game that would turn on a dime. The Stars held their own through two periods, struggling mightily to tie up the series, and managed to get up 1-0 on a Nieuwendyk goal. But the third period brought three quick scores by the Devils and the devastation of Dallass hopes. Guy personally had to be very dismayed; he had at last been given the assignment of focusing on New Jerseys top line and had great success against them, only to have the Devils rookies do what their shut-down veterans could not.
Game 5 returned to the Meadowlands. The Stars challenge was to win three games in a row, two of them in New Jersey. But for the time being they were fighting for only one thing: the right to play a Game 6. The prize many hoped to grasp was no longer necessarily Lord Stanleys Cup but just one more home game, especially those of us with a certain favorite player who might never again play at home.
"We have to decide if we really want to go deep and try to come back," said Carbonneau. "Thats the first decision you have to make. If youre just going to try and show up on Thursday and hoping, then you might as well stay here. I think weve always been strong emotionally and played with passion when were in trouble, and right now, were really in trouble. Were not going to quit."
To make matters more interesting, the press reported that Carbonneau had hurt his knee and would be a game-time decision. For some reason this news didnt perturb me. This didnt seem to be the season when Carbo would be scratched for injury.
Sure enough, he was on hand to participate in the game that would make history, a ferocious, beautiful battle that was scoreless until the sixth period of play. In fact, Guy was more than just "on hand"the PK only allowed one shot on the Devils two full power plays, and outshot New Jersey, 1-0, on the third. In spite of that wrist with the hairline fracture, that bad knee, and a hand tendon torn in the previous round, Carbonneau played a brilliant game up till the moment Mike Modano tallied to break the longest scoreless tie in Finals history. That night and the next day, countless people called it the best hockey game they had ever seen Carbos 230th playoff game.
They didnt quit. They were still playing. At least once more.
The prize, Game 6, was also not a quitters game. It went to double overtime, but that night it was Jason Arnott who scored and won his team the Stanley Cup. It was a fair and right ending to the series, although there are many who would say the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoffs MVP should have gone to Ed Belfour, without whom the Stars season would have been much shorter and Larry Robinsons record would never have been broken. When the saddened goaltender skated to the bench, all his teammates gratitude was expressed by Guy Carbonneau, who put a consoling arm around Eddie and kissed the top of his mask.
Some of Carbos last moments on the ice were spent congratulating first the Devils Claude Lemieux, also on the 1986 Champion Canadiens, and then Coach Robinson. As Guy shook hands with the men with whom he won his first Cup ring, the Dallas crowd sensed perhaps an era was ending.
They began to chant.
When Carbo was a very young man, he played alongside the legendary Guy Lafleur. Lafleurs name was frequently shouted by Montreal fans"Guy! Guy! Guy!"as he dazzled them with his offensive prowess. Some years later, after Lafleur left the Habs, the defensively-skilled Guy Carbonneau was astonished to hear the chant raised in his own honor.
And much later than that, he was just as amazed to hear it in the city of Dallas, Texas. But nowadays never a home game goes by when you dont hear them yell out his name.
At the end of the night that the Stars lost the Stanley Cup, the crowd chanted, "Guy! Guy! Guy!" As he skated off, Carbonneau saluted them with a wave.
Guys Sher-Wood must be lucky, for I got my wish: 23 kisses for 23 games, the most he ever played in a single year of his 17 appearances in the playoffs.
With 231 games total, Guy Carbonneau is five shy of first place all time.
And, until
we hear to the contrary, still playing.

Win tickets to Steve Vai
Win tickets to see Steve Vai at the Commodore Ballroom on October 5
Following up the 2009 live album Where The Wild Things Are, The Story of Light, is virtuoso guitarist and visionary composer Steve Vai's 16th solo effort. In support of its release, Vai will begin a tour of North America on August 15th in Fort Lauderdale Florida, accompanied by his band—who are also featured on the new album: Dave Weiner (guitar), Jeremy Colson (drums), Philip Bynoe (bass), and Deborah Hensen (harp, vocals, keyboards).
The Story of Light comes out on Favored Nations Entertainment, the label Vai founded in 1999. Its sprawling and expressive 12-song set continues a conceptual and cosmic narrative arc begun on the artist's acclaimed 2005 album Real Illusions: Reflections (also Vai's most recent solo studio release).
Although The Story of Light is largely instrumental, the album does feature guest vocalists including singer-songwriter Aimee Mann—dueting with Vai on "No More Amsterdam", which she also co-wrote—and Beverly McClellan, a season one finalist on The Voice. McClellan appears on "John the Revelator", a track inspired by a vintage recording of blues singer Blind Willie Johnson, whose acid-soaked vocals are in the mix as well. Other highlights include the title track (which opens the album), "Gravity Storm", "The Moon and I", and "Velorum".
The Story of Light follows the journey of a man driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment, and redemption.

In my view
Meg introduces the medical side of campus and related majors
December 11, 2006 — Duration: 0:00
[M. Meyer]: There are 4 health professional schools on campus at IUPUI. The Medical School, something like the second largest in the country, the dental school, one of the nation�s top 10, the nursing school, one of the largest in the country, and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. There are also four hospitals. Riley Hospital for Children has a reputation of providing the highest level of care for kids. The Richard Roudebush VA hospital is here as well. And this is Indiana University hospital, which includes the IU Cancer Center. It�s widely recognized as a leader in cancer care. This is the Van Nuys medical science building. Med school classes and research happen here. What kind of research? This kind! DNA and the human genome, interpreted here by David Chihuley, world renowned glass artist. The DNA structure, ya know, the double helix, was first discovered by IU grad James Watson and his colleague Francis Crick. Well the next Watson and Crick might be right here, largely due to something called INGEN. INGEN is the single largest grant ever received in IU�s history and was given to medical sciences here at IUPUI to help study genomics and proteomics and start a massive research project aimed to help researchers understand the human genome. WOW!

Help! How do I decorate with these chairs without going overbaord on the red and blue
So I got these chairs reupholstered and they did not turn out as well as I would've hoped. But they cost a lot and I can't have them re-done again. So I'm wondering how do I decorate my living room with these chairs. I'd like to add other colors in so that red and blue don't overwhelm the space. My couches will likely be brown leather. I'm thinking of adding some aqua and maybe a yellow hue with pillows, rugs, etc. Please help and add pics for inspiration if you can. Thanks This message has been edited. Last edited by: reneev,
Ok, I'll be the bad guy here. I'm speechless.
I don't have a clue what to say except have you thought about painting them??? I know, I know, it's mean but I can't see them with a brown couch.
Now that you hate me, try posting on the General Decorating board, gets a lot more traffic (and ideas) than this board which is about a show/posting site that may or may not exist anymore.
Again, I'm sorry, but I know how frustrating it is to have something that your lost about and on top of it having no one reply to your post.
Thank you so much. I posted on decorating board like you recommended. No, not going to try to paint them, I am going to try to sell them though. Thanks for your help!
The ONLY think I can suggest is for you to put navy and red pillows on your brown couch and put the chairs across the room from the couch. I think you can carry it off....be careful of the drapes/curtains (maybe white) and the walls.
love life
I'm sorry your chairs didn't turn out as you expected.....think I'd bite the bullet and slipcover them.

School bans triangular flapjacks due to health and safety.
Apparently sugary foods are not just bad for your waistline.
An Essex school have banned triangle shaped flapjacks after a child was hit in the face with the pointy treat.
They now have to be cut into a square.
You really couldn't make it up.
Wouldn't a square cause just as much damage? 4 points instead of 3 even....
re: juliejulez
re: INDIANRIVERFL
re: INDIANRIVERFL
I would probably be inclined to buy that if I hadn't spent a good portion of my misspent youth sailing "four pointed" collapsed cardboard popcorn boxes through the movie theaters near my house, all with the lethality of Ninja throwing stars.
If there was one thing you learned never to do before the lights came up in the theater, it was to not turn around to look toward the rear of the house unless you wanted to get an eye put out by one of those bad boys...
re: Servorg
Especially when delivered with an overhand wrist flick. As opposed to a frisbee sideways. Got to grasp a corner with the first knuckles of the index and social finger, with the long edge resting on the web between the fingers. Will sail and swoop for at least 5 rows.
Or so I am told:-)
re: tcamp
The UK flapjack is closer to the American granola bar.
(oats, butter and Golden Syrup)
I've read elsewhere than UK authorities are concerned about the amount of sugar in these, and other, treats.
Don't square have points. 4 instead of 3.
Maybe they should have only allowed round flapjacks
the safety elves have entirely too much time on their hands.
re: sunshine842
re: Servorg
I'd be curious to hear what injuries this child actually suffered...somehow I'm doubting blood loss or even bruising. Somehow I'm not seeing a piece of oatmeal in the eye as being a life-threatening emergency.
Pretty interesting that a former head of Elf 'n' Safety stopped just short (or found a nicer way to say) "are you fricking kidding me?"
I'd also be very, very interested to hear the repercussion for the flapjack tosser.
(and yes, for those of you in the UK, I know exactly what I said in the last sentence).
I guess no Doritos either ...
Dear Parents,
It has recently come to or attention that many of you often cut your children's sandwiches along the diagonal axis. This can create a sharpened point and especially with toasted bread, might create a hazard.
Therefore, beginning on Monday, all sandwiches MUST be cut along either the vertical or horizontal axis and NEVER along the diagonal.
Any child producing a diagonally cut sandwich will be immediately suspended from school and will receive a mark on their permanent record!
We appreciate your cooperation in making our indoctrination centers, (errrr, I mean "Schools"), a safer environment.
Your Child's Principal
re: DoobieWah
Please see the following insert for this year's school fundraiser:
The Gourmet Chef Kut'n'Seel
Make crust-free pocket sandwiches for your kids!
Simply place filling between 2 slices of bread, then press down on the Kut'n'Seel.
Each Kut'n'Seel is $25 with profits going to the school and the Lioness Club's Glass Eye Foundation.

The purpose of this workshop is to assess the achievements, shortcomings and setbacks of the worldwide women's rights movement during the last 100 years by way of honoring the pioneers and celebrating the centennial. We will be discussing the conference that will be held in Montreal, Canada were an action plan for advancing the women's rights movement will be drawn up along with the starting with the formation of an anti-imperialist women's alliance. We hope to start that process through story sharing at the USSF.

MURDERED TO DEATH by Peter Gordon
September 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22, 2012 at 8:00pm
September 9 & 16, 2012 at 2:00pm
Directed by Ed Bassett
This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight—
Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes—they're all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house's owner.
It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn't finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will readers and audiences die laughing first?
The cast features Kathy Cook, Roseanne Elliot, Sara Euvino, Chris Evans, Heather Graham, Josh Luszczak, Tim Phillips, Rob Richnavsky, Elaine Taylor and Sean Taylor.

If you're new to espresso, the abundance of options and jargon on your local coffeehouse menu may be overwhelming. This guide will help you place espresso orders with confidence and explore the exciting world of espresso. You may also want to check out this guide on ordering non-espresso drinks.
Breve (brev-ay)
An espresso-based drink that's made like a cappuccino, but with half and half instead of milk. This term has also come to mean any espresso with half and half in lieu of milk, regardless of the proportions and whether or not it's foamed.
Caffé Americano (kah-fay ahh-mer-i-kan-oh)
A shot of espresso combined with enough hot water to fill a 6-ounce cup. The Americano was supposedly invented by European baristas for American G.I.'s during World War II to replicate Americans' preferred drip-style coffee. It's popular on its own after dinner in Italy, but in the U.S., many consume it with milk and/or sugar throughout the day.
Café au Lait (kah-fay oh ley)/Café con Leche (kah-fay kon lech-ey)
French and Spanish variations on the Italian drink Caffé Latte. "Lait" and "leche" mean milk in French and Spanish (respectively). Like Caffé Lattes, the milk flavor is fairly dominant. A 2:1 ratio of milk to espresso is common. Sugar may be added, and is usually included in Café con Leches.
Caffé Latte (kah-fay lah-tay)
Recipes vary widely, but a general definition is a double espresso in the base of a preheated mug or cup, topped with steamed milk to fill, and garnished with froth or latte art. "Latte" means "milk" in Italian, so generally the milk flavor is more dominant in this beverage than other espresso-based beverages. A 2:1 ratio of milk to espresso is common.
Caffé Mocha (kah-fay moh-kuh)/Mocha Latte (moh-kuh lah-tay)
A variant of Caffé Latte made with white, milk or dark chocolate syrup, milk or powder. They are sometimes topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or other sweet additives.
Café Noisette (kah-fay nwah-zett)
Espresso with a small amount of milk added, making it the color of "noisette," French for "hazelnut."
Cappuccino (kah-poo-chee-noh)
A traditional Italian cappuccino is a single espresso shot topped with equal parts steamed and frothed milk (in a ratio of 1:1:1) served in a 4 to 6 ounce preheated bowl-shaped cup. Many in the American market have adapted this recipe, incorporating more steamed and frothed milk, while keeping the espresso quantities the same unless otherwise specified.
The foam that tops a cappuccino acts as a natural insulator, keeping the drink warmer longer.
Doppio (doh-pee-oh)
A double shot of espresso. It's the standard espresso size in many coffeehouses.
Espresso (ess-press-oh)
A full-flavored, concentrated form of coffee that is served in "shots." Espresso is made by forcing pressurized, hot water through very finely ground coffee beans. This process is called "pulling a shot."
Unlike most coffees, espressos have "crema," a flavorful, aromatic, reddish-brown froth made when air bubbles combine with fine-ground coffee's soluble oils. The strong presence of crema indicates a quality, well-ground coffee and a skilled barista (professional coffee maker). Crema and espresso's quick extraction process give espresso a fuller flavor, longer aftertaste and lower caffeine content than drip content.
Each shot is about 1 ounce. Many shops choose to only offer double espressos (two shots, also called "Doppios," which is Italian for "doubles") for quality control issues. Other coffeehouses also offer single shots and lungos. Regardless of the size, espressos are usually poured into a demitasse (a small, two- to four-ounce cup).
Espresso con Panna (ess-press-oh kon paan-nah)
Espresso topped with whipped cream (this link opens a video recipe for whipped cream).
Espresso Macchiato (ess-press-oh mock-e-ah-toe)
A single or double espresso topped with a dollop of heated, texturized milk and (usually) served in a small cup. "Macchiato" means "mark" or "stain." In this case, the "mark" is the dollop of milk on top of the espresso.
Flat White
A shot of espresso with a double shot of steamed milk. Unlike most steamed milk coffee drinks, it is "wet," so it has little or no foam and a smooth, velvety texture.
Flavored Latte (la-tay)
A Caffé Latte with flavoring syrup or powder added. Popular flavors include vanilla, peppermint, Irish crème, caramel, cinnamon, almond, hazelnut, toffee, buttered rum, orange and raspberry. Flavored lattes may be topped with whipped cream or other toppings.
Latte Macchiato (lah-tay mock-e-ah-toe)
Also known as a "long macchiato," this drink is primarily made of steamed milk. "Macchiato" means "mark" or "stain." A "Latte Macchiato" is milk "marked" with a half-shot (or less) of espresso. American variations also include Caramel Macchiatos (and the like) with a caramel (or other ingredient) as the "mark."
Lungo (loon-goh)
A "long" pull (extraction) of espresso made with the same amount of finely ground coffee and twice the water of a normal shot. A single serving is about two ounces. If overextracted, they taste bitter and metallic.
It may sound similar to a Caffé Americano (which is espresso with hot water added after it's pulled), but its unique processing results in a different flavor. It has a less strong taste (because it is made with more water), but it also has more bitterness (because the extraction process takes longer and pulls more bitterness out of the grounds).
Red Eye
A cup of filter coffee with one shot of espresso. It's sometimes called a "Hammerhead" or "Shot in the Dark." Variations include the "Black Eye," which is made with two shots of espresso, and the "Dead Eye," which is made with three shots.
Ristretto (ree-streh-toe)
A smaller, more concentrated serving of espresso. It has a more intense flavor and body, and less bitterness. It may be ordered as a single (about 0.75 ounces) or a double (about 1.5 ounces).
One serving of espresso (about 1 ounce) prepared at normal strength.

How to Create a Simple Buddhist Shrine
Edited by Dvortygirl, Adam, Maluniu, Miya! and 16 others
Are you Buddhist and haven't gotten around to making a shrine? This article will show you how to build a simple Buddhist shrine.
1Choose a stable place to set the shrine. (Some people use a whole room.) It may be a table or a shelf, but be sure to have it at least above head level based on the usual use of the room.Ad
2Make a stand or shelf to support the objects. A simple start is a wooden stand with three levels. This will be the main surface of the shrine, so you may want to put some effort into this.
3Place the objects onto the shrine. First you will need an image of the Buddha. You can have as many as you like. This will go on the topmost level of the shrine.In the place of an image of Buddha, a mantra written on a piece of paper or similar is perfectly acceptable, and preferred in the Jōdo Shinshū (Pure Land) tradition of Buddhism.
4If a suitable Buddha image simply cannot be obtained, a picture of Buddha's relics, a stūpa , a Buddhist holy book, a bodhi leaf or picture of the Buddha's footprints may be acceptable.
5On the next level, you may place an image of a Buddhist teacher like the Dalai Lama or a small statue of the Chinese Bùdài (the Laughing Buddha, also known as Buddha Maitreya.)
6Place offerings on the lowest level or, if you wish, a Buddhist scripture or a bowl of water.
7Traditional offerings include candles, flowers, incense, fruit or food. However, it is not what you offer that is important: it is that it is done sincerely with a pure heart.
8Place a small stūpa on the supporting surface of the shrine, if you wish. You can make a simple stūpa with a small pile of stones. There is no need to go out and buy a costly gold one; that defeats the purpose of Buddhism.
9It is traditional to change the offering water every morning, however, the old water should never go to waste. Use it to water a plant or something. A new cup or bowl should be used for this purpose: glass or crystal is preferable, because the clarity of the water represents clarity of the mind.
10If you wish, you may offer incense at the shrine when you recite morning ceremony. Touch the tip to your forehead, then light it. See warning.Ad
- Yellow, white, orange, red, and blue are recommended colours of decoration.
- If you are unable to create levels, make sure any statues of Buddha are not directly on the floor because this can be thought disrespectful.
- Everything on the shrine also has a symbolic meaning. Flowers and fruit for example illustrate the law of karma.
- What matters is sincerity, not the shrine itself. It would be better if you didn't have a shrine and were very sincere in cultivating virtue than if you had a shrine and wasted time going through the formalities of making it look pretty.
- The supporting surface of the shrine isn't really something that you must put a lot of effort into.
- Some Buddhists is to have cushions near their shrine to sit on while meditating. Decorated Indian cushion covers are favoured considerably.
- You should set aside a symbolic day once a month or so to clean the shrine of dust, and perhaps once a year to clean it thoroughly.
- If you do intend on burning incense or candles, consider the flammability of the covering of the shrine.
- Candles and incense should never be allowed to burn unattended. Consider electric candles or lamps.
- Avoid cheap, low-quality incense. It is generally manufactured in Asia where safety standards are comparatively low and can contain unsafe chemicals.
Things You'll Need
- A Buddha or Bodhisattva image or statue.
- A water bowl
- Flowers/incense/fruit/electric candles.
- A photograph or image of your own Buddhist teacher, if you have one.
- A selection of small stones

Ruthless Iran: Can a Deal Be Made?
"It is critical," the Leveretts write, "for Americans and other Westerners to recognize that the Islamic Republic is not going away." This is sound advice. Through ruthlessness the regime weathered the 2009 storm. Iran is still combustible, its currency battered. Another eruption is always possible. But to bet on sanctions or covert action or threats of war tipping the country into upheaval is a mistake. The apparatus of the entrenched revolutionary elite—its web of moneyed interests and its intelligence and security forces—is strong.
The current Iranian regime's various power centers distinguish it from classic dictatorships based on personality cults. Leaders as different as Rafsanjani, Khatami, and Moussavi challenge the system only to be co-opted or silenced. The battered economy is adaptable. Iranians are entrepreneurial. Oil and gas are abundant. Women resent the severe constrictions on them but, as the Leveretts point out, have used new educational opportunities to excel in academia and professional life. Repression intensifies then ebbs.
Iran will hold another presidential election in June. In all likelihood the regime will emerge intact from it, with much apathy on the part of voters. Ahmadinejad, at his term limit, will be gone, having generated a lot of noise and nuisance and mistreatment of dissidents but little else. Once strictly aligned with the ummah, or community of believers, and obsessed with a possible reappearance of the hidden imam or Mahdi, Ahmadinejad has reinvented himself as a man of the people opposed to the religious traditionalists and is pushing his handpicked presidential candidate, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, to outmaneuver them. The real test to the system will come in engineering a succession to Khamenei, the seventy-three-year-old supreme leader, but no one can say when that will happen.
Meanwhile the centrifuges at Natanz and Fordow spin. President Obama has made it clear he will go to war rather than allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, a development he now says is more than a year away. As the president put it in Jerusalem, while expressing a strong preference for diplomacy, "America will do what we must to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran." His policy is prevention, not containment. Israel continues to set its "red line" in a different place: nuclear "breakout" capacity, or Iran's attainment of the means and wherewithal to produce a bomb in short order. Iran, enriching to 4 percent for a dysfunctional power plant, and to near 20 percent for the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) used to make medical isotopes, insists it has no intention to produce bomb-grade material (a 90 percent enrichment level). "We consider developing nuclear weapons as unlawful," Khamenei said last year, meaning it violates Islamic precepts.
Western powers are skeptical because of past Iranian deception and they point to several indications that the Iranians are acquiring the technical capacity to produce nuclear weapons: hence the imposition of ever tougher sanctions. Western intelligence agencies have not, however, detected an Iranian decision to go for a bomb. Congress is in a bellicose mood. The president does not want war in Iran just as he extracts America from the long war in Afghanistan. The situation is full of danger. As John Limbert, a former US hostage in Iran, has observed, Iran sees America as "belligerent, sanctimonious, Godless and immoral, materialistic, calculating, bullying, exploitive, arrogant and meddling." America, in turn, sees Iran as "devious, mendacious, fanatical, violent and incomprehensible." One thing seems certain even as nuclear negotiations have begun again. The next eighteen months will bring another crescendo of tension over possible war.
At this critical juncture, the Leveretts make several important points about the nuclear program and the failed Western response to it. They grasp its political centrality within a revolutionary system whose ideological core is independence from the Western powers. They argue persuasively that Iran's intent is to achieve a nuclear threshold similar to Japan's as a form of strategic leverage and a demonstration of technological prowess, rather than to make a bomb with all the danger inherent in that step. They suggest that, given an Iranian psychology that bristles at domineering Western attitudes, "the notion that sanctions and other economic pressure will generate strategic leverage over Tehran's decision making is counterhistorical." They argue that Obama's "efforts at engagement have been almost completely rhetorical." And, opposing a war of dubious efficacy and immense strategic and human cost, they write: "Instead of thinking about starting another war in the Middle East, American decision makers need to acknowledge that the United States has to come to terms with the Islamic Republic."
But how? Khamenei, who decides policy, has not decided that the anti-American position he has used to sustain a tired revolutionary order can be safely dismantled. If "Death to America" goes, what is left? The Leveretts argue for a new move by Obama comparable to Nixon's going to China, which would transform the Middle East. Certainly the exclusive focus on the nuclear issue in Iran diplomacy has been unhelpful, but the kind of grand bargain they envisage—in which Iran would even help create peace between Israel and Palestine—seems utterly fanciful at this stage.
Where their book is more helpful is in pointing to one particular lost opportunity and illustrating what it says about Western myopia. In early 2010, Turkey and Brazil, both then nonpermanent members of the UN Security Council, stepped forward as possible mediators on the nuclear question, and on April 20, 2010, Obama sent nearly identical letters to his Turkish and Brazilian counterparts. The letter to the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was later leaked by a Brazilian website. Its key paragraph, regarding Iran's stockpile of low enriched uranium (LEU) and possible Western provision of 20 percent enriched fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor, reads as follows:
There is a potentially important compromise that has already been offered. Last November, the IAEA conveyed to Iran our offer to allow Iran to ship its 1,200 kg of LEU to a third country—specifically Turkey—at the outset of the process to be held "in escrow" as a guarantee during the fuel production process that Iran would get back its uranium if we failed to deliver the fuel. Iran has never pursued the "escrow" compromise and has provided no credible explanation for its rejection. I believe that this raises real questions about Iran's nuclear intentions, if Iran is unwilling to accept an offer to demonstrate that its LEU is for peaceful, civilian purposes. I would urge Brazil to impress upon Iran the opportunity presented by this offer to "escrow" its uranium in Turkey while the nuclear fuel is being produced.
Less than a month later, on May 17, 2010, Lula and Prime Minister Recep Erdo˘gan of Turkey delivered the proposal for the escrow deal. After negotiations in the Iranian capital, an agreement called the Tehran Declaration was reached. It contained four central points. First, the three countries recalled "the right of all State Parties, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy (as well as nuclear fuel cycle including enrichment activities) for peaceful purposes without discrimination." Second, Iran would transfer 1,200 kilograms of LEU to be held in escrow in Turkey within one month. Third, pending their approval of the Tehran Declaration, the IAEA, France, Russia, and the United States (the Vienna Group) would agree to provide 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched uranium fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor to Iran within one year. Fourth, if the terms were not met by the Vienna Group, Turkey would transfer the LEU back to Iran (which maintained legal possession of the material).
This proposal, to the fury of Brazil and Turkey, whose leaders felt used, was immediately rejected by the United States for various reasons, including that it did not freeze Iran's enrichment at the 20 percent level. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tabled a US-drafted Security Council resolution the next day imposing further sanctions; it was adopted the next month. From that moment, as the Leveretts write, "Iran policy has grown ever more coercive."
Looking back now—at a time when it is widely recognized that no deal that fails to recognize Iran's right to low-level, strictly monitored enrichment is conceivable—the question must be asked: Was the Tehran Declaration, whatever its shortcomings, really so far from Obama's proposal and so unworkable as a basis for trust-building that it had to be summarily dismissed? Once again, the limits of pressuring Iran are becoming clear. Nobody has said it better than the thirty-five former ambassadors and senior officials who recently signed an important report by the Iran Project:
After 30 years of sanctioning and trying to isolate Iran, it seems doubtful that pressure alone will change the decisions of Iran's leaders. Meanwhile, there appear to be risks associated with reliance on this approach. A strengthened diplomatic track that includes the promise of sanctions relief in exchange for verifiable cooperation could help to end the standoff and produce a nuclear deal.2
The Leveretts might have made a strong case for such creative diplomacy. A pity, then, that they see dark conspiracy in every US failing—and no failings on the other side. They blame America's "imperial turn" and even suggest that President Obama's "attempt to salvage Washington's failed drive for regional hegemony could wind up doing more damage to American strategic prospects than George W. Bush's debacles did." They blame "liberal imperialists" (John Mearsheimer's phrase), who, in the Leveretts's telling, seem to include everyone from Secretary of State John Kerry to Leslie Gelb and Tom Friedman. They blame the neocons, of course, and they blame the Israel lobby, embodied by institutions like the Washington Institute for Near East Policy where, as a note acknowledges, Hillary Mann Leverett once worked (and, as is not mentioned, wrote a paper in 1998 denouncing "Iranian links to international terrorism").
They also blame the Iranian diaspora. And, in customary egregious style, they write that all four of these groups "use human rights issues as a tool to support American dominance over the Islamic Republic." In the land of the Kahrizak Detention Center, scene of the worst abuses in 2009, and Evin Prison, human rights are a grave issue involving brutal mistreatment, not a "tool."
Iran has been widely portrayed in the United States as an incarnation of evil. The Leveretts might have offered a counterbalancing account. Instead they have fallen prey to their own dangerous mythology of a benign Iranian order loved by its citizens. Their book is a disservice to truth and a betrayal of all the brave Iranians who, for more than a century now, have been seeking a political order that provides a genuine reconciliation of freedom, representative government, and faith.

Reception sites fall into two basic categories. The first includes facilities that provide food, beverages, the wedding cake, tables, chairs and all of the other basic equipment you'll need for your special day! Some examples would be: hotels, restaurants and catered yachts.
The second type charges a rental fee that does not include a full array of additional services. Please be advised that such places will expect you to arrange for food, beverages, linens and possibly chairs and tables too. Good examples would be: clubs, halls, parks, museums and private homes.
Now that you can mentally picture these two types of reception sites, we'll move on to the important questions and considerations you'll have to make with each, in order to select what's right for you and that's within your budget.
Reception Sites: private clubs, hotels and restaurants.
These facilities have a primary business that occupies most of their time and that brings them a lot of revenue. To fill the empty gaps in their schedule, they often times make themselves available for special events, such as weddings and handle them with relative ease. Usually, they will coordinate all phases of the reception.
Before booking one of these commercial facilities, I suggest you inspect the room or location where the reception will take place. Here's a list of questions to ask yourself and the staff you'll be meeting:
The above is a small sample of questions to ask when visiting potential reception sites. Don't be shy about asking a lot of questions, the facility staff must give you answers to these and to any others you might have. Another good set to include are the following:
So now that you know the basic questions to ask these reception sites, its important for you to know that sometimes you can run into a problem with these commercial locations in that, they don't hesitate to ask a bride to move the date of her wedding or accommodations when a more lucrative event asks for consideration. These reception sites can be offered $100,000 for a corporate event, compared to $5,000 or $10,000 for a wedding reception, so the temptation is very strong indeed. As a result, they will offer you discounts and other perks to entice you to make the switch. So if this should happen to you, don't get upset, try to use it to your advantage to negotiate a better deal, this might be the budget break you were hoping to have after all!
Reception sites: churches or temples.
This is a convenient option for a few of reasons, you can have the wedding ceremony and reception can take place within the same location making life a lot easier on you, there will be no need to book an additional site and this could save you some money, additionally, your guests will be very happy to know that they won't be having to commute for the party. On that note, check to see what type of hall or social room they make available for receptions. Some questions to ask are:
These are good general questions to ask these reception sites, but again, feel free to expand on the list as you see necessary and fit to do so.
Reception sites: home or garden.
Ah, the beauty and simplicity of a home or garden reception is a wonderful option if you are interested in having a casual party during the Spring/Summer months and its especially good for those on tight budgets. However, unlike hotels or restaurants that are all inclusive, there are special considerations to be mindful about as you plan your big bash with a home or garden location. Here are a few things for you to keep in mind:
Another thing to be aware of, is that you need to inform whoever is hosting the reception that between four and eight vendors will need to evaluate the site prior to the reception day. The homeowners must be willing to accept this temporary "invasion" as part of their offer to host the event.
Since it isn't everyday that a wedding reception takes place at home, you should consider writing a note to the surrounding neighbors, warning them of the extra traffic on the streets and noise, especially if a band will play outdoors. Let them know how long the reception is expected to last, by doing this, you'll be helping to maintain the peace and ensuring a good time for your guests.
Taking these precautions, will go a long way towards preventing problems that might otherwise occur. Once you have all of the facts from all of your potential reception sites, you are ready to compare the costs of the different locations. Take into account the rental fees, food, beverages, parking, gratuity, set-up charges and the cost of rental equipment, such as tables, chairs, canopies and whatever else you will need to ensure the success of your party.
As you can very well see all of the reception sites we've discussed have very good potential. All you need to do now is, to determine what kind of location suits your personality, needs and available budget. Take your time to explore your best options, weigh the benefits, then plan it thoroughly and you're sure to have a wonderful celebration!

Well, we made it despite the Mayans saying we were in for utter doom and extinction. The end of the year has come and gone. So now that we are in 2013, what are you going to do with this GREAT opportunity? Sit back and ask yourself a few questions. How did I do in 2012? Do I want to continue to progress or do I just want to stay stagnant? What do I want to achieve moving forward? Do I have the support system to get me there?
To continue to thrive in life, you MUST dream big! We have dreams for a reason. Let's go for it. In order to achieve the dreams you want, you must lay it out so you can see it and create a path to get there. As you move towards your goal, always refer back to the plan you created so you can stick to it. There will be a lot of opportunities and distractions that will come your way. If they do not fit in with what you want in life, then keep moving past them. It's okay to say no or pass on something that you feel may progress you in some way, but does not get you to where you want to be.
The following are some quick tips to make this year better than last:
1. Have your own moment of reflection. Look back at the past year and see what you accomplished.
2. Look back at what you haven't accomplished and, if possible, try to analyze why. Just don't over do it.
3. Get yourself a new notebook and start to write down everything you would like to achieve. Refer to Sean's blog below. Once you have these down, take a page in the notebook and designate it for each target. Create the plan for each on that page.
4. Get an accountability partner; someone that has no problem with pushing you to get uncomfortable, not someone who is always going to tell you it's okay!
Cheers to a better year than last. Turn it up one more degree everyday!

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials are warning people to drink water and stay cool as temperatures soar to an expected 95 degrees this week.
The city's Office of Emergency Management says seniors over age 65 and people with chronic health problems are especially vulnerable in the hot weather.
Temperatures are forecast to hit or exceed 95 degrees on Monday and Tuesday. Prolonged exposure to the heat can be harmful and potentially fatal.
The hot weather will also cause elevated ozone levels. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on Monday issued an air quality health advisory.

The storm hovering over the Rogue Valley set a rainfall record Thursday, caused minor flooding in Medford, and created dicey travel for motorists throughout the county.
The 1.67 inches of rain that dropped on Medford set a daily record, beating the previous 1.29 inches that dumped on the city in 1917, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Shad Keene.
"We beat the record and there's more rain to come," Keene said.
The downpour didn't stop Salud Mendez from cooking a pot of pozole on the back porch of her home off North Ross Lane in Medford.
Mendez prepared the meal as rain overwhelmed a drain pipe along the road and flooded her yard.
Sixteen-year-old Salvador Ortiz, who was at the home with Mendez on Thursday, said the property often floods in heavy rain, but this round was particularly bad.
"We'll be glad when it's over," Ortiz said.
Medford Public Works Director Cory Crebbin said the North Ross Lane area saw the only notable flooding during the day. He said crews were working to repair or possibly replace a drain pipe near the intersection of North Ross Lane and McAndrews Road.
The weather service predicts heavy rain will continue through Saturday, Keene said.

Video Interview With Coach Natal
Video Interview With Coach Montrie
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane University women's swimming and diving team will wrap the fall portion of its respective schedule as the Green Wave swimmers will head to Houston for the Phill Hansel Invitational while the divers travel to Tucson, Ariz., for the Wildcat Diving Invitational.
The UH Cougar Classic will run from Nov. 15-17 while the Wildcat Diving Invitational is slated to go from Nov. 16-18. The meets are the last for the team this semester as the Green Wave will open spring competition at the University of San Diego Relays on Jan. 5, 2013.
"I think our preparation has been really good," Tulane interim head swimming and diving coach T.J. Natal said. "We came down a couple of days to give the girls a little bit of rest so they'll feel a little bit better. We've been doing a lot of mental preparation and making sure that when we step out on the blocks that everything has been thought through and planned out for us."
Tulane is one of 15 schools participating in the Phill Hansel Invitational as the Green Wave are joined by fellow Conference USA members Houston, Rice and SMU, along with Air Force, Arkansas, Colorado State, Florida Gulf Coast, Fresno State, Idaho LSU, New Mexico, Texas A&M and Wyoming.
The three-day event will start each morning at 10 with the preliminaries while the finals are slated to start daily at 6 p.m. On Thursday, the teams will compete in the 200 free relay, 500 free, 200 IM, 50 free and 400 medley Relay. The action continues on Friday with the 200 medley relay, 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 breast and 100 back before closing out the meet on Saturday with the 1650 free, 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly and 400free relay.
"This is a meet that has gotten a lot faster the last couple of years," Natal added. "Texas A&M will be there. LSU will be there. A lot of the schools rank among the Top 25 in the country. It'll give us a chance to see what people are doing around the country and also give us a chance to see how we stack up against them.
The divers, meanwhile, will head West for Tucson where the Green Wave duo of junior Sadie Eicher and freshman Maren Kjell will square off against some of the nation's best at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.
Following a practice day on Thursday, the invitational will formally begin on Friday with the 3-meter springboard followed by the one-meter on Saturday and the platform elevation on the Sunday.
"This will be an opportunity for our girls to see some of the best in the country," Tulane diving coach Justin Montrie said. "What we did in the beginning of the year was kind of identify the top individuals in each one of the events, and then we wanted to pick out some of the meets and some of the invitationals that we could go to in order to be exposed to them. This is a really great meet with really, really high-caliber divers."

Does anyone know what the default is for the peak bass setting? I have a 53TX and I thought I set it when I got it a few months ago, evidently I didn't. Last night, I bought a set of Polk RTi70 speakers for fronts and a CSi30 center. These were to replace the relative components in my Polk RM6500 speaker system. Well, after hooking them up and doing the MCCAC cal, they sounded like crap! I was VERY disappointed. I thought "what the hell was everyone raving about on the RTi70's?" During lunch today, I discovered the peak bass control on the receiver was set to the absolute minimum setting of -80. I HAD NO BASS! Setting the peak control had no effect on the equalization calibration so I believe those two functions are independent. I have the volume on the sub that came with the RM6500 system set to approximately 45% and after doing the MCCAC cal with the Pioneer, it trimmed the lower frequencies by anywhere from 1.5 to 5 db's.
Now, OMG this system sounds phenominal! The sound stage across the front is seamless, as well as it is from the fronts to the rear, I can feel the bass at low volumes, I feel completely enveloped by sound, and it's soooo SMOOTH! Listening to the rooftop scene in The Matrix just makes my heart melt. I now have the peal bass level set to -20 and there is bass aplenty! Does this seem right? Thanks!

RICHLAND COUNTY SC — Richland 1 unveiled its latest list of community servants Monday when it announced the 10 people who will be inducted into the 10th Hall of Fame.
The Richland 1 Hall of Fame was created to recognize living and deceased graduates of the district's schools and others throughout the district's history who have made significant contributions to the district, their communities, their professions and society as a whole. Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor the Richland 1 school board can award.
"I think it's amazing that we made this announcement on Veterans Day because the day is about service, and when you look at the honorees collectively, it's all about their service," said Richland 1 board member Vince Ford, who was on the board when the Hall of Fame was established.
"Celebrating the contributions of the past spurs students on to higher heights," Ford added. "It was that generation that used every avenue to make sure that we all succeeded. I think the things they have done will be able to touch students for the next century or more."
Forty-seven people have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since it was established in 2004. This year's honorees will be formally recognized March 22 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Here's a look at this year's class.
Heyward Bannister, a 1969 graduate of Hopkins High, is credited with playing a key role in transforming political landscapes by managing and providing consulting services for more than 250 political campaigns, ranging from school board elections to presidential campaigns. He is president and chief executive officer of BANCO/Bannister Co., the public relations, political consulting and marketing firm he opened in 1992.
Thaddeus J. Bell, a family practitioner in North Charleston, is a 1962 graduate of C.A. Johnson High who founded Closing the Gap in Health Care, a nonprofit aimed at decreasing health disparities by providing health education for African-Americans and other underserved populations. Bell has received the National Medical Association's 2013 Distinguished Service Award.
The late Shirley Anne Glenn Davis, a graduate of Hopkins High, served on the Richland 1 board from 1992-2000. She is credited with being a voice for special needs and underserved children and their families. She was the founder and chief executive officer of Beyond the Door Outreach Ministry. She also founded the "Why You, Why Me" support group for African-American women with breast cancer.
Naomi Hall Dreher, a 1939 graduate of Booker T. Washington High, was a teacher, principal and consultant in Richland 1 for 43 years. She was the first African-American woman to work as a personnel coordinator in the district's human resources office where she hired teachers. Dreher retired from public education in 1987 but later led the Minority Access to Teacher Education (MATE) program at Benedict College for 18 years.
Attorney Francenia "Frannie" B. Heizer is a 1972 graduate of Dreher High, where she was captain of the state champion debate team. As Dreher's student body president, she helped bring collaboration in the early years of desegregation in the district. In 1986 Heizer became the first woman elected to Columbia City Council and, in 1992, she was the first woman elected mayor pro tem for the city of Columbia. She served on City Council 16 years.
Bette Jamison, a 1969 graduate of A.C. Flora High, was the second woman producer-director to work for S.C. Educational Television (SCETV). Her 40-year career began there in 1973. She currently serves as a professional development consultant with the SCETV Education Team.
The late Evaretta Sims Rutherford, a native of Washington, D.C., taught English, Latin and French at Booker T. Washington High. She was later an English instructor at Benedict College and director of student teaching and chair of the education division. She later accepted a position as professor of education at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she also chaired the Department of Education.
The late Harry B. Rutherford, a 1928 graduate of Booker T. Washington High, taught math at Booker T. Washington and later served as principal of Carver Junior High, Waverly Elementary and Booker T. Washington. Under Rutherford's leadership (1950-64), Booker T. Washington often was recognized for having the best-trained and most highly educated faculty in the state.
The late Catherine B. Davis Thomas, a native of Fairfield County, served more than 56 years as an educator. Her career began in 1951 as an English and reading teacher in Richland 1. She also taught in the Fort Alaska Dependent Schools and at Midlands Technical College and Benedict College. Through the Minority Access to Teacher Education program at Benedict, Thomas' work is credited with having an impact on the lives of students from across the state.
The late Archie Preston Williams Jr., a 1932 graduate of Booker T. Washington High, and his mother established A.P. Williams Funeral Home in 1936. Williams helped found the Richland County Concerned Citizens Committee, which challenged segregation and racial discrimination and advocated for desegregation in schools and public transportation, equal pay for black employees, patients' rights at the Crafts Farrow facility and the hiring of the first African-American police officers.

CARY — Herbert C. Young Jr., a former councilman and a native of Cary, died this morning at age 84 following years with Parkinsons disease. His passing was a blessing for him, said his daughter, Linda Young.
Perhaps more than his elected service in the 1960s and 1970s, Herb Young will be remembered as a sure-footed sporting man, six-foot-one, who was serious about fun. His decades of volunteer service literally imprinted his memory on the towns parks and sport programs: the Herbert C. Young Community Center, named in his honor in 2001, is one of Carys most popular spots to gather and play.
He ran Triangle Swim Club for 37 years, he dressed up as Uncle Sam for 20 years for the Fourth of July at Koka Booth Amphitheatre, Linda Young said ticking off some of the places and events where her father left his mark. He was a volunteer for the town of Cary for over 50 years for parks and recreation.
More than a volunteer, Young helped carry the towns recreation programs from their fledgling start. He was among the first members of the committees and boards that founded town sporting leagues.
I have never worked consistently with anybody who is more giving of his time than Herb, said Mary Barry, the towns former director of parks and recreation, in 2001.
His dedication to sport seemed to come with his natural athleticism. He lettered in three sports during his years at Cary High School, which made him a charter member of its sporting hall of fame. He could throw a punch at 17, he won a regional Golden Gloves boxing event but he had a sense of humor, too.
I used to not like to fight because I got my clothes torn. Now I dont like to fight because I bruise easily, he joked to a reporter in 1975.
The height of his football career came in the late 1940s at the University of North Carolina, where he centered the ball for Charlie Choo Choo Justice. Later, Young would spend decades officiating local basketball and football games long enough to earn a spot in the N.C. High School Sports Associations Hall of Fame.
He was a big, robust type of person, and of course his judgment was good, said Tim Brayboy, 73, an assessment of his friends officiating skills that applied just as well to the rest of Youngs life.
Politically, Young was an advocate of balanced growth, as the modern council might put it. Even in the 1970s, as the towns boom was just beginning, he joined other council members to turn down six development proposals in a row one night, and was the sole dissenter to oppose the Cary Village Shopping Center.
Young finished nine years on the council in 1975, and launched into largely behind-the-scenes roles with municipal and regional athletic associations.
He spent summers at his Triangle Swim Club, a now-closed pool that Young opened in 1970. His goal, he recalled, was to give folks a place to swim that would not cost them an arm and a leg, he told The News & Observer six years ago.
We didnt put up with a lot of horseplay and mess, no cursing, no alcoholic beverages, he said. Even after his wife Peggy died in 2002, Young practically ran the pool himself until 2006.
His philosophy through all the decades was simple, he told The N&O in 2000: I like to be involved and help others if I can, he said.
Young was a father of three, a long-time employee of Southern Bell Telephone Company, and a devoted member of Carys First Baptist Church. His years-long deterioration was painful to watch, friends said.
Hes a great fella, said Jerry Miller, another long-time Cary resident, days before Youngs death. It just hurts me to look at him knowing how strong and healthy he was at one time. I just cannot take it.
But as Youngs family and friends prepared his obituary, they had a long list of testimonials, honors and achievements to remind them of the big man they loved.
Perhaps the greatest contribution Herb has done for the Cary community, Brayboy said, was the fact that he was a servant.
